I wonder how this will be used to gain more power and control. US might be able to buy Canada at a discount.

BREAKING: UK passes law officially recognizing #Bitcoin, Stablecoins and Crypto as property. 🇬🇧

One needs a name

Japan is under serious stress, triggering a classic liquidation wave where the most liquid assets get sold first. And #Bitcoin is THE most liquid, tradable around the world 24/7.

The volatility is driven by panic, not fundamentals. Outstanding buying opportunity for sure.

This is how nostr:npub1wd09wweyk7qn36rvj640xl85w4rav2runt9afmdpw0spsf4kv3aqv4dn77 and I do #foodstr for the #family!

⚡️📢 STATEMENT - I would like to share with you my new challenge for the year 2026.

The year 2025 was a milestone for me: becoming one of Nostr's major information relays was an ambitious goal, and today I consider this challenge accomplished. But I don't want to stop there. I would like to go further, much further.

2026 will be a special year. Some of you already know that I will no longer be working. This means I will have the time, energy, and a unique opportunity to launch a major project.

Like my first challenge, this one will be designed to serve the community. With one difference: I want to go beyond the boundaries of Nostr.

After a year of daily work, one thing is clear: Nostr is still too closed off. Even crappy platforms like Bluesky and Farcaster attract more people. What we lack is not quality, but visibility. We need to open our doors, break out of the small circle of passionate developers in their forties (with all due respect to them, because without them we would still be on Facebook…) and reach an audience that we are not reaching today.

I waited a long time for someone else to do it for me, then I spent a long time thinking about how I could do it myself, until I came up with a clear plan.

Today, I am revealing my plan to you.

In 2026, I will become, if you agree, Nostr's PROPAGANDA agent. My target audience: young people (aged 18-21).

They are the ones who pick up on trends, create codes, and decide what goes viral. They are the ones we need to reach. The rest will follow naturally.

In practical terms, I've picked up an effective username on Twitch and Kick. At first, I thought about creating a “Flash+,” but then I realized I needed to choose something that would immediately catch people's attention and encourage them to discover Nostr. I'll send you the links in due course.

The goal is simple: stream popular games like Fortnite, League of Legends, or WoW, and establish an identifiable, attractive, regular presence. I've also created TikTok and YouTube accounts to post short, dynamic clips and launch a series called “Nostrclass,” which will feature my best weekly plays. Of course, I'll also be able to highlight clips from other Nostr members.

The concept must be subtle. Intriguing. It must encourage young people to ask questions.

What is an npub?

What is Nostr?

Why does he say Nostrclass and not Masterclass?

The goal is to create an expression that becomes commonplace and goes viral.

➥ Masterclass = impressive moment, remarkable performance.

➥ Nostrclass = total mastery. Excellence.

Another strategy is to appeal to young people's egos. For example, someone asks me what my username means. I tell them it's related to Nostr, and that if they don't know what that is, they're a clown. Their curiosity will inevitably be piqued, so they'll look it up and open Pandora's box. And after taking this little humiliation as a jab, they'll do exactly the same thing to those around them: “You don't know Nostr? You're a clown.” The snowball effect. The trickle-down effect. All I did was light the spark.

To succeed, I will have to transform myself. Learn video editing seriously. Master Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. Produce short content that surpasses what is being done today. I want people to be impressed by the editing first, then discover where it all comes from: Nostr.

Once again, if you'll allow me, I commit to posting regularly, with a stable, almost institutional presence. But for this project to really take shape, I'll need your support. This mission represents a real investment, and without your help, it simply won't happen.

For now, this project is still in its embryonic stage. Usually, when I have an idea, I keep it secret, work behind the scenes, and then launch it once I'm ready, as I did with Flash. But this time it's different: without sufficient and solid support, I can't even get started. That's why I'm telling you about it today, a little ahead of schedule. There's one month left before the project is launched or abandoned. The idea is to start on January 1, 2026 (my first day of unemployment). I'm also open to sponsorship and partnerships, with, for example, advertising space available on my stream. (ideally related to nostr)

Why streaming video games and not something else? Because gaming brings people together. It unites virtually all young people, regardless of background: men, women, rich, poor, black, white, religious or atheist. And also because, to be resilient, I have to love what I do. Otherwise, I won't last long.

Please understand that all of this represents a real risk for me. I could have been content to do my usual job, stay comfortably seated at Nostr, and simply grow, grow, grow like a good old-fashioned family capitalist. I could have been satisfied with what I have already built.

But that's not what I want.

I need to set myself new challenges, to push my own limits, even if it means putting what I've built so far at risk. Because if I don't take risks anymore, if I don't step outside my comfort zone, then I stagnate. And stagnating, for me, is already losing. And I'm tired of Nostr stagnating too.

I hope that over the past few months, I have shown you that I work hard, that I am truly committed, and that I am in it for the long haul. I am not asking for your support without having proven my worth. I am proposing a project that could profoundly transform Nostr, and I would like you to be a part of it.

I can't guarantee the success of this operation. Failure is possible. But so is success. And we won't have either if we don't try.

I'm ready. Are you?

No one with an actual life is here for sats. Stop it. Not everyone is here for sats. You can take sats away and some of us will still be here.

Its not about the sats. Its about, that i can say whatever whenever i want. Period.

⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - Online US Black Friday sales reached a record $11.8 billion, up 9.1% from last year.

The truth is that Nostr has been a failure so far. Few active participants, empty groups, and it keeps declining. This will only change if Nostr becomes easier to use, forms strategic partnerships, and attracts some celebrities and their fans.

If bitcoin fails, I will come back to my first plan : Work until I die working.

Was asked yesterday by some very good friends (over 20 years together) in YPO about how I would feel if Bitcoin went to zero - and as a result….i went to zero.

I had to explain (again) that I can’t believe I’m lucky enough to live at this time, with all of you, and contribute to this protocol that is aligned to my beliefs. That the reason it won’t fail is the tens of thousands (and growing quickly) people like that who have also realized their agency in creating the world they want to see.

But even in the unlikely event that it did fail, that I wouldn’t change a thing.

What a ride and so fortunate to be creating it with you!

We are so early.

No one watches sunsets anymore.

I'm on a train heading home along the coast, there's a breathtaking sunset, and all the passengers around me have their eyes glued to their mobile phones.

I realise that I myself have taken my eyes off the sunset just to write this indignant message.

Trading is the most retarded activity a human can pursue. Change my mind.

Everyone stacking sats is playing a totally different game than the rest of the world.

Every sat earned is one unit less someone else can control or steal from you.

you should zap nostr:nprofile1qqs874el2hv8tn5wm3fgahuz99yl624el8r9my22gq39vcas56tmupcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qyvhwumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshsu7v0gn more.

By raising margin requirements for MSTR shares being used as collateral, failing to deliver MSTR shares in a timely manner, and de-banking @jackmallers, it is clear that JP Morgan is threatened by bitcoin and the industry growing around it.

Good. They should be scared.

I was at the park with kids today and saw what I’m guessing to be a 2 year old walking around on her own holding what appeared to be an iPhone. No parent in sight. Kind of strange… what was she doing with it?

The older I get, the less I want my software to change. Why change an UI that isn’t broken? All you do is make my brain hurt, quite literally, as the neural pathways I forged over the decades are now out-of-sync with your “better” version.

Volatility is a fiat illusion. #Bitcoin simply reflects the chaos of the fiat system.
