Today during an important meeting, I brought up this specific article. Two pages in all major newspapers. One of the biggest scammers is back. Where we thought this guy was out of the picture. He gets a major podium in mainstream media. Itâs as if scammers receive a perpetual podium, creating a centralized narrative.
The majority of the Dutch population consumes this garbage.
Is there any hope for the future, where we see non negative bitcoin narrative propaganda?

Everyone who cares about their privacy should run a full node. Great article about the options currently in use and development over time.
âEvery Bitcoin wallet faces a fundamental technical challenge: how do you discover which transactions belong to your addresses without revealing those addresses to others?
The solution you choose determines your privacy.
Download everything and reveal nothing, or query servers and expose your financial history. There is no middle ground in the protocol design, only different points on the privacy-convenience spectrum.
Bitcoin's blockchain is public. Your addresses don't have to be.
Full Nodes: The Original Standard (2009)
When Satoshi launched Bitcoin in 2009, there was only one way to use it: run a full node. Download the entire blockchain, every transaction ever made. Your node asks for everything, reveals interest in nothing.
How it works: Download every block, validate every transaction, maintain the complete UTXO set (~11 GB). When checking your balance, scan the local database. When broadcasting transactions, relay through the P2P network alongside thousands of others.â

In the past few days I had my goodbye meeting at the Dutch central bank and the authority of financial markets. As the chairman representing the United bitcoin companies in the Netherlands. Itâs been an interesting few years.
The totally refurbished building of the Dutch central bank is open for visitors and the amount of interesting things portrayed there is worthwhile for bitcoiners.
âValue of trustâ âvalue of stabilityâ âThe value of artâ
The first big public piece of the new head of the Dutch central bank is âdonât agree with Eurobondsâ. (Link below). This piece might give a tiny bit of hope that further EU integration gets delayed.
There is a high focus on digital resilience in geopolitical uncertain times.
Iâve had naive hope I could change the legacy system.
At least we won lawsuits and were able to reduce the regulatory burden and many millions of cost by having a firm stance. Our lawyer was not allowed at the main board cost meeting anymore after I brought him along once âşď¸.
The fight at the European court in Luxembourg will persist through the next chairman. It was great to see us win in the Rotterdam and Supreme Court in the Netherlands, with the Dutch central bank having an army of the best lawyers.
We were able to push an over 5 million cost relieve at AFM under MICAR oversight this year. And weâve held really strong stances where we could.
Itâs time to move on and leave this legacy system behind. Weâll have to build forward on new frontiers. The direction in the Netherlands is unfortunately, stifling innovation. On regulation they are clearly far ahead of any other location on our planet.
Iâve seen whatâs coming and itâs going to be tough, but we will be able to use our bitcoin. That is, what matters.
Fun fact:
âWall Street
De Nederlanders bouwden in 1653 een verdedigingswal tegen de Engelsen en autochtone indiaanse stammen in wat toen nog Nieuw-Amsterdam heette. Het pad met een houten hek dat hierlangs liep, werd de Waal Straat of Wal Straat genoemd.
Daar werd ook toen al veel gehandeld.â
âWall Street
In 1653, the Dutch built a defensive wall against the English and native Indian tribes in what was then called New Amsterdam. The path with a wooden gate running alongside it was called Waal Street or Wal Street.
Even then, there was already a lot of trading going on there.â

I find it really interesting, because when i was in Uni about a decade ago, Dutch dredgers started to mine gold under water. It wasnât really spoken about but the market back then was already growing rapidly.
The new central bank vault in the Netherlands also has quite some additional space in comparison with the old vault.
Why is that?
Monetary reset.

This is where my wife and I grew up, where we used to live & work with the farmers for many years. Last year we decided to leave, it was a plethora of reasons.
Seeing this in our (ex)local newspaper today is shocking:
âFarmer is not allowed to milk his cows in the night anymoreâ
No mortgage, no bills.

This is a binomial probability problem. Each roll of a fair six-sided die is an independent trial with success probability \(p = \frac{1}{6}\) (rolling a 6) and failure probability \(1 - p = \frac{5}{6}\) (rolling anything else). We want the probability of exactly \(k = 5\) successes in \(n = 8\) trials.
The binomial probability formula is:
\[
P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} p^k (1 - p)^{n - k}
\]
First, compute the binomial coefficient:
\[
\binom{8}{5} = \frac{8!}{5!(8-5)!} = \frac{8!}{5! \cdot 3!} = 56
\]
Substitute into the formula:
\[
P(X = 5) = 56 \left( \frac{1}{6} \right)^5 \left( \frac{5}{6} \right)^3 = 56 \cdot \frac{1^5 \cdot 5^3}{6^8} = 56 \cdot \frac{125}{1,679,616} = \frac{7,000}{1,679,616}
\]
Simplify the fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (which is 8):
\[
\frac{7,000 \div 8}{1,679,616 \div 8} = \frac{875}{209,952}
\]
This fraction is in lowest terms. As a decimal approximation, this is about 0.00417 (or 0.417%).

We need an update on nostr. Whatâs your personality type? Would expect it to be even more interesting on nostrâŚ
Today I talked a while with an owner of an antique shop. Thereâs almost zero interest in decent antique furniture. Massive oak remains unsold, while it lasts hundreds of years.
People are buying as cheap as possible. He is shifting more and more towards small âantiqueâ bracelets, rings and other junk that they usually just receive for free when they clear houses.
This couple of euros junk just sells.
He also had a couple pairs of shoes of old brands, they last a lifetime, they are basically new but âold fashionedâ.
I asked him how old he thought my shoes were. Couple years he answered but still looking good, easily fixable, old fashioned way.
Told him, 3 new soles, 1 new inner work. 21 years old. Wore them couple of times each monthâŚ
He said the best pairs should last 40 years wearing them weekly. You can still find a few manufacturers in EuropeâŚ
Low time preference shifting to high preference in the antique market was not something I was expecting to see.

### âď¸ *Real Life Chess*
Some would say my life is a mess,
But they donât know,
that Iâm playing chess.
And although freedom is nice,
It doesnât come,
without sacrifice.
My opening move,
Is finding the groove,
Then I developed the skills,
That gives tyrants the chills.
Satoshiâs my guide,
While I move like a knight,
Dodging the banksters in black,
While I plan my attack.
Pawn checks King,
Then rook takes pawn,
Another wise rabbit appears at the spawn.
As kings, queens and bishops fight for the center of attention,
One pawn has come through,
with a genius invention,
That changes the structure of the current convention,
And propels us forward into another dimension.
This invention transformed the board from Chess into Go.
Please enter the realm of the eternal flow.
Now hierarchies crumble,
And as I watch the cunts
of the black army stumble,
I look for the signal within all the scrumble,
the eternal pulse says:
**"Stack sats and stay humble."**
With the endgame in sight,
we switch black to white.
We follow the light,
We trust our might.
Then we meet our queen,
Feel suddenly seen,
And gracefully live,
in the between.
It might be Go it might be Chess,
But one thing is certain,
**Itâs a beautiful mess.**

This poem isnât just a metaphor.
Itâs a **roadmap** for the pleb who chooses dignity over dependence.
Itâs a mirror held up to a Bitcoin culture thatâs forgetting its roots in favor of Wall Street cosplay and applause for Cantillonaires.
Because letâs call it what it is:
Debt-financed Bitcoin buys are **Proof-of-Stake in fiat**.
They are not heroic. They are opportunistic.
They are not revolution. They are reallocation â from the center of power, using the tools of that power.
But #Bitcoin doesnât belong to boardrooms.
It belongs to the builders, the miners, the teachers, the sovereign individuals, the ones who gave something up to *earn* something real.
It belongs to those who make *the move*.

### â So hereâs the move:
đ ď¸ Build outside the gatekeepers. nostr:npub1s0veng2gvfwr62acrxhnqexq76sj6ldg3a5t935jy8e6w3shr5vsnwrmq5
đŤ Refuse applause for fiat leverage.
đŁ Disrupt the narrative.
đŻ Use non-violent direct action to **check power**, wherever it hides.
đ§ Stay sharp. Stay sovereign.
âď¸ Stack work. Not just sats.
Because the endgame isnât a new pig on a throne.
The endgame is *you*, awake and aware,
transforming from pawn to queen,
and *watching the kings fall* â not through violence, but by **moving better**.
---
Bitcoin doesnât need another billionaire.
It needs a billion plebs playing with intention,
moving through sacrifice,
flowing through the mess,
and building the future from the ground up.
Weâre not here to crown a king.
Weâre here to **flip the board**.

As a trance lover having built a huge radio receiver to be able to receive XFM radio from Eindhoven with high quality as a kid, going to a big trance festival when being very much underage but making sure i got some 18 year + friends to go along and arrange free tickets winning the radio quiz. This track has a couple of mix parts that remind me of the xfm music festival in the klok gebouw Eindhoven. Rank 1, Marco v and so many others were there. For a kid it was amazing. I had a Bose installation 4.1 with direct connection to my ISDN double line modem downloading from Napster and later Limewire and Kazaa.
Turning 18 I build my own sound system in my Volkswagen Golf. It was an 11.1 system with 500watt RMS self build subwoofer and self designed casing. JBL 1100 and Sony / JBL speaker combination for optimal sound. Extra battery with capacitor for peaks. It was so much fun being a kid and working my ass off to be able to enjoy the sound. When I upgraded a speaker or tuned it I would put my dad in the car and put on enya, being proud to have tuned it on an even better level.
