Meet Hoshi Nakamura, the #Bitcoin #Samurai, a rogue warrior from the not-so-distant future where governments have overstepped their boundaries, central banks rule with an iron fist, and the free market is nothing more than a memory. Trained in the ancient arts of the samurai but equipped with the digital armor of #blockchain technology, Hoshi Nakamura is on a mission to reclaim freedom, one #satoshi at a time.

Legend has it that Nakamura was once an honorable samurai serving a feudal lord. But when the Shogunate sold out to the Central Bank of Japan and imposed a "cryptocurrency tax," Nakamura saw the writing on the wall. Disillusioned by the corruption and greed of those in power, he swapped his loyalty to the Shogun for an unwavering commitment to decentralization. With his katana in one hand and a hardware wallet in the other, Nakamura now slices through oppressive regulations like they’re made of paper.

Nakamura’s greatest nemesis? The shadowy cabal known as "The Central Bankers," a group of elites determined to keep the populace in debt and dependency. They control the world's fiat currencies, but Nakamura knows their paper money is worth less than the parchment his ancestors used to write haikus. He roams the cyberpunk streets, hacking into financial institutions, disrupting their centralized systems, and reminding everyone that Bitcoin is the true path to financial freedom.

The Bitcoin Samurai’s creed is simple: "No rulers, no banks—only code and community." With each transaction, he leaves a #digital trace of rebellion, showing the world that the power belongs in the hands of the people, not the banks. Hoshi Nakamura is the hero we never knew we needed, fighting for a decentralized future where the samurai spirit lives on in the blockchain.

Sure #japan is inexpensive to live. Sure the #food is good. Sure there is a rich #cultural #heritage here. But what about this? This is #japanese #tax

They will drain you of your funds. This is also an old tax example. They already raised the taxes again and added new ones. By the way it’s even worse if you own a business or are self employeed.

It’s simple as this. Taxation without proper representation or return of commodities is #theft plain and simple.

Meanwhile there are elderly Japanese men and women who can’t pay their bills and freeze to death or have heat stroke in their home. No joke.

While we have a natural disaster, the government doesn’t send money to those in need. Returning their money to support them. No no no, they are too busy partying on private Chinese yachts.

Use #bitcoin and protect yourself from this.

Just a week ago I was at 10k subs and I finally have either got in the algorithms or someone is helping me out. Almost to 15k subs but the monetization still sucks! I can see the potential here and know it will be way better in no time.

Oh Japan… when will you ever learn. The people are not your bank to which you can just freely take from.

Shakuhachi and Bitcoin

I'm probably the only Shakuhachi maker / teacher that accepts Bitcoin (though my friend nostr:npub1kc02c2x32pdkkuy9sws2rw40ua3hyh8gx59c6jpwwrqgyx9xaa6qrays32 may have brought the number up to 2...), but I want to go a little further back into history to find connections between this ancient Japanese flute and Bitcoin.

Interestingly - the shakuhachi is a Japanese bamboo flute that was popular with wandering Buddhist monks during the 1600's. Some players were likely Christian samurai as well, fleeing persecution. The government at the time was leaning heavily towards the Authoritarian / Totalitarian side of things.

There was a system called "tonari-gumi" in which you had a small group of people who you were responsible for, i.e., you had to spy on. If anyone was out of line (against the government, etc.), you had to rat each other out. These were the people living right next door to you. Kind of like social media today - the weakest members and sociopaths had an open invitation to rat out and cancel anyone who was on the side of freedom or truth.

So you can't really speak your mind. You are incentivized to lie.

Shakuhachi found a sort of solution. No words, just sounds. True sounds (hence 本音 Hon-On, the name of my studio - it means "true sound" as well as "what you're really thinking / feeling"), seeking truth and communicating feeling one tone at a time, using the unique colors that come out of an imperfectly round stalk of bamboo. Most pieces are not musical in the modern sense. They are sonic prayers. The titles are themes, usually Buddhist, so that they serve as meditations on a concept - Yoshiya explores identity (to me, it echoes God's approval of Jesus - "You are my Son, in whom I am well pleased." - at his baptism). Takiotchi explores death and impermanence (the title suggests a waterfall - to me, the sweat and tears of Christ as he decides to go to his death on the cross.

I appreciate these things as a Christian, and this fits just fine. Buddhists of the time would often help and hide their Christian friends, so that they wouldn't be killed. Shakuhachi players were a community of Buddhists, but it's likely that Christians were often welcomed or hidden among them as well.

The shakuhachi monks - called komoso, and then komuso - were later allowed to travel anonymously between prefectures, though travel was heavily restricted for most. Maybe this is because they were spying for the government, which would be unfortunate - but regardless, even non-spies were given some degree of anonymity and freedom.

Speaking your mind, seeking truth, appreciating privacy, cherishing freedom - all things that are generally appreciated by bitcoiners, and now Nostr. It's a good place to be.

Zapped that zap button with some zaps.

So what happens when I get 1,000,000 zaps. Do I just start zapping everyone like mad?

I won't elaborate for him but I will add that God created a cosmos in which there is hierarchical forms of rule and authority. Christ is king of all existence. He then deligates authority to lesser powers—to his heavenly host (like angels) as well as mankind.

Man as God's image bearer is to take dominion of the earth—to cultivate, subdue, and rule (as God's governors).

God also subdivided his deligated authority to man into four primary forms of government—the church, the magistrate (state), the family, and the individual. Each government has its own specific roles and boundaries—clergy do not declare war, the magistrate does not administer the sacraments, for example.

When man sinned and fell, and all creation was subject to sin, man's governing roles and duties did not change but are now plagued with corruption. Even in a sinful world God did not do away with government. Rather, we are told that God gave the magistrate the sword to reward the just and to punish the unjust.

In 2 Samuel God says "When one rules justly over man, ruling in the fear of God, he dawns on them like the morning light, like the sun shining forth on a cloudless morning, like rain that makes grass sprout from the earth"

In proverbs 29:2, it says "When the rightelus increase, the people flourish, but when the wicked rule, the people groan."

Ultimately we are all under the authority and rule of Christ, whether we accept that reality or not, but not accepting it as a peoples results in evil rulers.

We individually, as households, even as towns and communities and states, can and should resist evil rulers. Part of that resistance is writing code and using open protocols (nostr) and better money (bitcoin). But the heart of that resistance needs to be repentance and a return to rightly ordered rule under the ultimate lordship of Christ.

And it starts with the family unit. Men are priests of their households. Men, love your wives as Christ loves the church. Men, be men!

Really love the platform. Now time to get some work done before we get the serious part of the typhoon here in #japan
