Rolling those fucking dice with your pregnant wife in limbo is a bad trip waiting to happen. Grab some shrooms and go camping an hour away from home with a friend that stays sober and get your reset without risking your wife needing a husband reset 🙏

Would you support an AI running the government?

In this scenario all planning / support positions that can be eliminated would get instantly eliminated. With many more possibly gone quickly.

Assume the most “fair” AI. Won’t go into details of how that’s determined but just imagine we picked the best one for the position.

Going to bring a spare no-key coldcard on an international trip to see if I get any static about it going through security and customs.

Sorry to hear, brother.

Christmas is an emotional time - most common time for divorce and family feuds. Guess it's the drink and prolonged time with people you don't necessarily choose.

Being the Xmas host is always the raw deal. But getting manhandled in your own home... :(

What was your first? Share.

Flew too close to the sun this cycle. Got a little greedy, forgot to be humble (or chose not to be), and now I am stressed for bitcoin to bail me out. Lessons learned, regardless how it turns out. But I’d really like for it to turn out a certain way.

If you're tempted to whine about the current price, don't.

Complain enough times and you'll start to believe something's wrong.

Then you'll start listening to the haters.

Then you'll start to doubt.

Then you'll sell.

Holding is supposed to be hard. And even little slip ups can lead to failure.

What’s going on with Bitcoin?

Every time the price pumps, it gets sold off almost immediately.

⚡️🔔 A YEAR PASSES TOGETHER - One year is a complete revolution of the Earth around the Sun.

Today, nostr:nprofile1qqsy67zzq5tc9cxnl6crf52s4hptdwhyaca5j7r8jwll535tdadedvcprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hsat8e57 closes its challenge and honors its promise: to inform you for a full year, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day — weekends and public holidays included.

At first, I wanted to end on a high note. I had countless ideas: making a video edited by myself, coding a website for the occasion, doing a live stream… Then I remembered the best advice I received here: “Stay humble.”

So I’ll keep it simple.

First and foremost, please know that I am proud to have kept you informed for an entire year, with transparency, consistency, and objectivity. Believe it or not, all my notes have only one intention: to convey the truth. If some of them have upset you, that's not my problem; it's just that reality is sometimes harsh.

Here is my latest POW, the complete summary:

➥ 11,500 + 19,100 = 30,600 activity traces

➥ 30,600 / 365 = 83.83 activity traces per day

➥ 19,100 / 365 = 52.33 notes per day

➥ 8 × 365 = 2,920 hours of work

Result:

➥ 0 → 16,500 followers

➥ 0 → 5 million sats

I gave myself the means to achieve this. If you follow me, you know that I was present in your feed at any time of the day, without any automation. I swear. Everything was done by hand. The Flash touch is visible on each of my notes—that's what defines my work.

I didn't meet all my goals, but I exceeded some of them. For example, I didn't expect to reach 16,500 followers; I was aiming for 5,000.

On the other hand, where I failed was on the stack. I expected to reach at least 0.1 BTC. In the end, I barely managed to reach half that — until yesterday, I was still at 0.04 BTC.

But there is also something that was not planned for, and which far exceeds all the numerical targets mentioned above: your trust.

My greatest achievement is having managed to earn it. Honestly, it was not something I had included in my forecasts. Trust cannot be planned or forced—it is built, day after day, note after note.

Beyond the numbers, that's what really matters. Everything can be measured except trust. And yet, today on Nostr, that's my most valuable asset.

Not to mention the wonderful people I have met here. For fear of forgetting anyone, I won't mention any names, but know this: I know your usernames, your photos, your writing style, your way of zapping. I have observed everything, taken everything into consideration, with the utmost respect. Thank you all, you have been the fuel for Flash, because without you I would have stopped a long time ago.

Before I leave you, I would sincerely like your feedback:

➥ What did you think of Flash’s work throughout 2025?

➥ What do you expect from me for the coming year?

As they say, it’s at the end of the dance that the musicians get paid. Here are the two ways to support my work ⤵︎

Hey crew, help me get through Christmas! I can only be polite for so long. 3 nights in and 2 to go 😅

What's your favorite food?

What's that dish that you had once, that was just the best thing you ever ate?

Spend time with people who are good for your mental health.

A covidscam highlight was nostr:npub1t289s8ck5qfwynf2vsq49t2kypvvkpj7rhegayrur0ag9s2sezaqgunkzs being chased down by cops for having a picnic in a park . F’ing love that guy 😂

I am a Bitcoiner from 2010. You'll find many people here are from 2009-2013 if you are willing to listen.

Even my mum was open to me shilling it to her in 2012, which ironically makes her a Bitcoin whale compared to the many self proclaimed BTC maxis here, that came all for the wrong reasons (fiat NGU instead of freedom go up).

Prosperity follows freedom and freedom follows privacy.

We are still here to tell you all this.

Imagine not being able to differentiate between the Bitcoin OG that "shilled" Bitcoin to you 15 years ago (now turned a Monero privacy advocate) and a real shill that gets paid by stolen fiat money to keep you down and vulnerable (no privacy) in the fight to come.

⭕️ it’s signaling that you need a 50/50 draw between BTC/ XMR Monero is the silver to Bitcoins gold. When Bitcoin does bad most of the time Monero does good thus holding the line 🤙🏻🤙🏻 A wise king always holds both gold and silver 🫡

Every completion date and requested extended completion date I get on buying land in NW Arkansas - Bitcoin dumps.

Is this the Universe trying to tell me something?

Every Nostr event leaves me fired up and even more bullish on all of you, on this community and everything we’re building together. We’re connected by more than random npubs and shared cryptography. We’re more than just GMs and PVs.

We’re a social layer, a collective of people who see the world clearly and understand what the future can become if we keep pushing.

So we build.

We build software.

We build services.

We build content.

We build relationships.

I met so many amazing Nostriches and Bitcoiners last week. Some for the first time, and others I hadn’t seen in far too long. Thank you all for the memories and an incredible week. My family and I loved every moment we spent with you.
