For the 2026 Bitcoin Wall Calendar, I used a couple of my own photographs as well, in addition to other, more talented Bitcoiner artists like , , and just to name a few. For my birthday month, I used my TOP 1 favorite photo of all time, taken during the most breathtaking sunset I have ever seen, in Cape Gloucester, Queensland, Australia, on 16 January 2021. I have this exact photo as my desktop wallpaper for years now, another photo from the same session as my phone wallpaper, and I also had it printed on a canvas as a gift to my parents when I first visited Estonia in 2022. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out that one of my favorite Satoshi quotes ("If you don’t believe me or don’t get it, I don’t have time to try to convince you, sorry.") was originally posted on my birthday :)

That's why one of the very first quotes I shared on the page was this great quote by :

“It is what it is” is such a profound statement tho: 1) Accept the thing for what it is 2) Don’t judge the thing
