Even tho am worried about the populations rather than government officials. But from first principles, everyone included regardless of titles.

Sovereignty precedes economics.

Without consent, there is no market, only force.

Wishing you a peaceful holiday season, Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year!

Yeah gotta work on a whole wallets etup to fix after 3m. Cheers buddy

I went quiet for a while.

In 2025, that’s almost self-erasure i guess. I chose it.

Too much noise, too many demands, not enough depth, so I stepped back to build, think, and rewire the internal OS.

Here’s what’s unfolded, still in motion:

• Built mining tools to facilitate feasibility studies for MEA

• Still building shostr the nostr messaging app inspired by the best in the space and outside it

• Building ops infrastructure for HR

• Lobbyinh African governments on stranded energy

• Visited 7 countries in 6 months

• Spoke at the Prague Bitcoin Conference

• Led #Bitcoin workshops for YPO Angola

• Prepping now for the African Bitcoin Conference in Mauritius. zero price talk, real builders only

• Froze podcast invites until I close some of the above projects

Meanwhile, the world loops its worst patterns:

Lebanon bleeds under economic collapse and bombardment. ceasefire in name only.

Palestine still pays the cost of occupation.

Sudan suffers unspeakable horrors.

And American taxpayers still bankroll the machine behind it all.

Proud Recalibration:

• 7-day water fast → lowcarbs since: zero inflammation, clear focus

• Back to meditation + journaling, clarity over noise

• Still stacking sats. because price is noise and sovereignty is the point

• Same advice as always: produce more than you consume. Keep reserves. History moves in discounts.

One thing hit me hard during the silence:

My deepest respect goes to those who build while they

run companies, raise families, push their minds and bodies,

and still show up here or on any social media with consistency and real signal.

That blend of creation + communication is rare. I’m learning from it.

To those who checked in, I appreciate you.

What’s next:

• More building

• Possibly recruiting for #NeoWealth to meet rising demand, deeply appreciated

• More signal on:

→ Mining + stranded energy

→ Nostr comms + infra

→ Bitcoin-native ops

→ The psychology of staying sane in engineered distraction

This isn’t a comeback. Yet.

It’s a recalibrated signal.

Anyone going to ABC in Mauritius this week? DM me if you are

RLE taking over. Hamdellah all good and you? I can’t see the thread you’re mentioning me on btw

#Nostr ,

This isn’t war.

It’s famine as a weapon.

95% of Gaza is in stage 5 malnutrition.

That’s the final stage.

Even if food arrives, it may kill them.

Because when your organs shut down, eating becomes fatal.

It’s called refeeding syndrome.

And #Gaza has no doctors left.

This is the plan.

Not a failure.

Not a fog of war.

Israel spent 655 days preparing this.

Now they starve 2.1 million.

Children are dying in the streets,

not from bombs,

from nothing to eat.

Today, they bombed a kindergarten.

Every day, 18 children die.

Every day, another silence.

And still,

Western leaders defend it.

Media dilutes it.

The world watches.

This is not just genocide.

It’s the first famine designed in high-definition,

funded by democracies,

normalized by cowards.

We will not forget.

And we will not forgive.

Silence is complicity.

Starvation is not a side effect.

It’s the genocidal strategy.

I’m -trying to- building the first messenger that treats privacy, censorship resistance, and global accessibility (not only for bitcoiners or Nostrichs) as defaults, not features. Built for fragile economies, authoritarian regimes, and the future of communication. It’s for everyone: the normies and the cypherpunk power users.

I wouldn’t put any effort for my kids to learn English. It’s the easiest language to absorb. I agree on mandarin and the other global languages that would make a difference if you speak it. Yet my point was about the importance of learning English and to master it in a way to help you benefit from communicating with ai.

Over 117 million people are forcibly displaced globally, facing significant barriers to traditional financial access during crises. #Bitcoin, as a decentralized and portable digital currency, increasingly serves as a vital lifeline for refugees, allowing them to preserve and move wealth securely across borders when conventional systems fail. Using conservative inference methods, the study estimates at least 329,000 refugees have already used Bitcoin, a number projected to grow to 6.5–7.5 million by 2035. This suggests Bitcoin’s attributes—censorship resistance, global reach, and independence from collapsing banks—fill critical needs overlooked by traditional finance and humanitarian programs. Facilitating safe access to such digital tools can enhance refugee self-reliance and facilitate faster recovery, but policies must be careful; overly restrictive regulations risk cutting off essential humanitarian channels. The research underscores the importance of data-driven policies that recognize Bitcoin’s evolving role in crises, support vulnerable populations, and encourage further investigation into its humanitarian potential.

This analysis estimates at least 329,000 refugees worldwide have used Bitcoin to preserve or access wealth during displacement, after accounting for factors like camp-based refugees unlikely to transact. Demographic and urban/rural checks support the model's validity, indicating a significant portion of displaced individuals benefit from Bitcoin. As global displacement rises alongside increasing digital asset adoption (~18-20% annually), projections suggest up to 7.5 million refugees could use Bitcoin by 2035, providing a crucial lifeline. Cases from Ukraine, Gaza, Syria, and Congo demonstrate Bitcoin’s role in bypassing financial sanctions, war-induced banking failures, and facilitating aid delivery through grassroots efforts. Unlike stablecoins, Bitcoin’s decentralization and censorship resistance make it the preferred tool in crises. These findings highlight Bitcoin’s current and future importance in humanitarian aid, emphasizing the need for policies that support digital assets for vulnerable populations.

Refugees are using Bitcoin to build micro-economies and gain independence, even amid limited resources. Small-scale efforts, like distributing smartphones and teaching digital wallets, enable families to purchase essentials and access aid without traditional banks. This enhances their resilience, preserves dignity, and reduces reliance on host governments, potentially easing resource strains. Policy recommendations include recognizing Bitcoin’s humanitarian role, ensuring legal protections, promoting safe adoption, and supporting responsible innovation. As displacement crises continue, Bitcoin can serve as a vital tool for self-sufficiency, protecting economic identity across borders, and fostering empowerment. Balancing regulation with openness is crucial to maximize benefits while safeguarding against illicit use. These grassroots efforts illustrate Bitcoin’s potential to aid vulnerable populations, emphasizing the importance of adapting policies to support secure, responsible deployment.

I wonder if that data was based on bitcoin grants and not specifically bitcoin transferred to the end beneficiaries but exchanged to fiat first then transferred to the end beneficiary.

English is no longer just a language. It’s an interface.

AI doesn’t care if you’re smart.

It cares if you’re clear.

First, English got you grades.

Then, it got you jobs.

Now, it gets you better answers from machines.

Teach kids to write like coders.

Precision is power.

No permission. No mercy. Just truth.

Back to building

eyes open this time.

#shostr remains built on #nostr tho

Any pro #figma designers on #nostr? If you do DM me. #asknostr
