My ₿itcoin story;

Before any of this, I was a hockey player. Years of early mornings, cold rinks, injuries and repetition. I was fortunate enough to represent my country an honour I never took lightly. Later, hunting became another teacher. Quiet mornings, patience, respect for the land, and responsibility for the outcome. Both taught me the same lesson early on nothing real is given. Everything is earned.

That lesson carried into life. I became a gym founder, built a strong brand, and worked alongside incredible staff and clients. My life was already proof of work. In 2016, a client asked if he could pay me in ₿itcoin. I said yes. As I accumulated sats, I’d go back to him and say, “When ₿itcoin hits this number, I’ll buy that.” He always replied the same way: “You don’t understand ₿itcoin. Keep learning.” So I did—books, study, silence, time. I’d return with a new plan, and again he’d say, “You still don’t understand ₿itcoin. Go deeper.”

Then COVID arrived. Doors closed. Fear everywhere. And something unexpected happened. While others scrambled for certainty and liquidity, I felt calm not because I had answers, but because I had conviction. That’s when it landed. ₿itcoin isn’t designed for comfort. It exists for moments like this. My life had always been built on discipline, effort, and earned outcomes, but something was missing. ₿itcoin didn’t change who I was it revealed it. It completed the shift.

Since then, every business has been sold. Our family is all in. With time came space to look deeper beyond price and narratives into what’s possible on the protocol itself. ₿itcoin isn’t just money. It’s alignment. A system where truth emerges through work, not authority. And I’ve come to believe this a small number of people, acting with intention and integrity, can quietly shift the direction of the collective. That’s the journey.

Hi Everyone,

Here is follow up on Nostr-components project:

1. We added zap button component. Now you can put zap button in any of your websites.

2. We also published the package as

- Wordpress plugin - https://wordpress.org/plugins/saiy2k-nostr-components/

- NPM module - https://www.npmjs.com/package/nostr-components

3. Full code rewrite for stable base, so we can easily add more components over this.

Tagline: Embed Nostr anywhere on the internet, a Zap Button for every webpage.

We are also launching fundraiser in nostr:nprofile1qyt8wue69uhkummnw3ezuer9d3hhgett9e6xktcpremhxue69uhkgetk9ehx7um5wfcxcctevaex7atwvshxxmmd9uqzpdkumh0cve6jslg6f6rzpkf24yzuykxc2zlcejfr6wwlrm07uhh878n2y8 to help support the project development:

⏱️ What happens when you stop hiding and choose to show up fully — in Bitcoin, in work, and in life?

An in-person episode recorded with nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skueqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgpnkeqsw4f3nudn3wwr0jg5y5wft2rhd7hvmcmv6r7xxhp4tvrn55ve7rzq

"You are responsible for your own healing"✨

This conversation goes beyond markets and narratives into the human layer:

• identity and authenticity

• credibility and integrity in a noisy world

• the tension between anonymity and connection

• balancing logic with intuition

• resilience, healing, and personal responsibility

We also talk honestly about #Bitcoin — its power, its limits, and why fixing the money is only one part of the journey. Growth isn’t just about outcomes; it’s about the process, the choices, and the willingness to face uncomfortable truths along the way.

If you’ve ever felt held back by fear of judgment, questioned when to step into visibility, or wondered what authenticity really costs — and gives back — this episode is for you.

As life is always layered, the roots are always much deeper.

The world becomes more complicated than ever - where every intention is observed. It made everyone mean. Yet, somehow it also became simpler.

After one too many honest conversations with ourselves, we find peace. And of course, those conversations are continuous. But that’s not even the hardest part. The harder part is to pursue it - the leap of faith.

I can’t help but realize this year’s journey was about the relationship between love and truth. What comes first? What’s more important? What’s left when one is absent? And what does it feel like when truth and love coexist without much friction?

When death is in sight, which matters more - truth or love? What would you let go of last?

What happens when someone doesn’t realize they’re being abusive? How long do you tolerate before standing up and walking away? How much is enough? How much is too much? I’ve been doing this math my whole life. A delicate dance indeed.

My New Year’s resolution is to know when to slow down, to release the excessive energy that can't be directed towards love and healing. To know when it’s too much - that's to know how to truly live with low time preference. A challenge, as always.

Have been watching Pluribus - apparently one of the most watched shows on Apple TV? LOL - see how much people are starving for peace and love? And how much rejection we’re willing to endure when it comes to unconditional love, all because of fear and trauma. It’s heartbreaking, all the grief that comes with it.

I’m grateful for everything that lined up exactly as it did, so a delicate piece of consciousness like me gets to witness it all.

Would you do nothing when you could have done anything? What would you do? Maybe that should be our New Year’s resolution.

Cheers to peace. Love is the cure.

Happy New Year 🥂✨

I think running a node on a VPS service is not good for privacy.

Si, lo sé. Pero para un principiante (desde cero), ese tipo de compra conlleva un poco más de conocimiento:

1. Cuenta de Telegram: Hoy en día, muchos ya la tienen, pero no todos.

2. Explicar que es un Bot y su funcionamiento.

3. Explicar el proceso de compra P2P: Tomar una oferta, generar factura LN, realizar el pago, etc.

4. No siempre hay ofertas de compra #PYG en el bot.

Como mencionaron en el video, hay varias formas de comprar.

El comentario que hice fue pensando más en el no-coiner con cero conocimiento del tema.
