I wanted to speak,

But nothing came out.

My mind was confused,

The words not allowed.

All of my own doing,

No others to blame.

Now crying in silence,

Feel nothing but shame.

We think they come easy,

Our God-given rights.

They perish in silence;

Unless someone fights.

But who is this fighter?

Is it you? Is it me?

It comes down to courage.

The courage to be.

Why not remain silent?

Why say things at all?

Why tear down the comfort,

Of this prison wall.

Compliance is easy,

Resistance is not.

We need to SPEAK CLEARLY

A rule we forgot.

It's all dia-Logos,

Allein or zu zweit,

A chat between friends;

You alone, late at night.

Without speaking clearly,

Proper thought can not form.

Free Speech is not optional,

It must be the norm.

So FUCK all the censors,

Both big and so small,

And fuck myself too,

For preaching to all.

We need more conversation,

And less claims of Truth.

Way more compassion.

"Corruption of Youth?"

They killed him for questions.

He wouldn't shut up.

But "they" are still with us,

And he drank the cup.

There is no distinction,

No "them" and no "us,"

So why all the fighting?

What is all the fuss?

P doom equals zero,

Some old crazy guy claims.

It's hard to agree.

We all live in chains!

Of our own making,

Of thought and of bytes,

confusion and silence;

There's no given rights.

Rights must be defended,

Or lest they may fall,

The fight is decisions,

To be made by all.

Should I stay on the platform?

Should I leave? Should I fight?

Should I build my own platform?

Should I enter the light?

The light that is Logos,

the word that redeems.

That speaks truth and beauty,

and is good—so it seems.

We don't need no platforms.

No login; no sign-up.

Get a key and some relays;

Sign your words and speak up!

I know it's not easy,

Though simple it sounds.

But it is your duty!

Responsibility abounds.

Some of us are tiny;

Some have a huge heart.

I'm still a bit whiny;

But all ends are starts.

I wanted to speak,

But nothing came out.

So now I'll just send it,

No censors allowed.

BITS = SATOSHIS

Bits.

That’s the new name for sats - rolled out quietly, but intentionally, during the largest Bitcoin conference of the year in Las Vegas. With corporations circling and political figures like Trump stepping onstage, we’re now seeing the slow rebranding of Bitcoin’s most fundamental unit.

No real community discussion.

No transparent rationale.

Just a switch - from “sats” (Satoshis) to “bits.”

As someone who studies this space daily and speaks from the perspective of an artist - I see this as more than a cosmetic tweak. This is a symbolic shift. A move away from Bitcoin’s roots. A subtle erasure of Satoshi Nakamoto from the language we use every day.

Sats were never just a unit of measure. They were a tribute. A memetic anchor tying Bitcoin to its origin and ethos. You don’t rename that lightly. You don’t discard it in the name of “clarity” or “adoption” without telling the community why.

“Bits” might sound cleaner. It might fit better on an app screen. But it comes at a cost: cultural continuity. Historical weight. Identity.

This is happening at a moment when Bitcoin is under more pressure than ever to conform - to be repackaged for mass markets, for regulators, for billionaires. And now even its smallest piece is being reshaped.

This isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about respect. For the people who carried Bitcoin through the early years. For the vision behind it. For the name that still matters.

And most of all - for the ethos of Bitcoin.

Sats are named after the inventor who disappeared so the network could live freely. That absence is the foundation of Bitcoin’s independence. It’s what makes it different. Their systems have money, but no mystery. Power, but no principle. Control, but no character.

Bitcoin has a legend.

And no matter how many interfaces get rewritten, or tickers rebranded, Satoshi Nakamoto should be honored forever - through the name of the smallest unit that makes this entire movement possible.

We should be asking:

Why now?

Why this?

And who benefits from rewriting the words we built this protocol around?

Because if sats can be rebranded overnight… what’s next?

Good morning nostr, we woke up to over an inch of rain, so thats good. Seems like there was alot more thunder and lightning than rain, but we'll take any rain.

Today i plan to do some housework and also think about food for next weekend, since we'll be having company. And i really need to do some deskwork that i've been putting off. Anyway, yall have a great tuesday, enjoy your coffee, and do your work with a happy heart. #coffeechain #homesteading

“You will one nothing and be happy”. I just realised I am sliding into this and I’m happy.

I used to own DVDs and lent them to my friends and borrowed theirs. I now have Amazon, Netflix and Max subscriptions and I’m happy with the convenience even though I don’t one the movies and can’t lend them out.

I used to own books and CD audiobooks. Now I’ve got an audible subscription which I cannot lend out or leave to my children and yet I’m happy for the convenience of listening to it while I run or walk.

Just like this there’ll be many other aspects where we used to own things and now don’t but are happy for the convenience.

So we are coming closer to “you will own nothing but be happy”

39% of the wealthiest people in the Middle East admit they’ve kept under-performing assets in their portfolio far too long.

If billion-dollar families fall for this trap, the rest of us don’t stand a chance against our own investment biases.

A few reasons smart money still hugs bad money:

(After working with family offices for the past 11 years)

1. Status-quo comfort: “It hasn’t blown up yet, so let it ride.”

2. Illiquidity denial: it’s hard to sell a trophy asset that’s quietly leaking alpha.

3. Narrative lock-in: the original story (“it’ll rebound”) feels safer than facing the unknown.

Translation: even the ultra-wealthy are human, and humans are terrible at pruning losers.

A simple test: replace the laggard with an asymmetric bet.

If you keep the underperformer (something like distressed real estate, stale private equity, or legacy bonds) you’re likely looking at a negative 0.5% CAGR over five years, which quietly drags your portfolio down by around 2%.

It’s wealth erosion you barely notice until compounding turns it painful.

But if you swap just 2% into Bitcoin (historically volatile but with a 10-year average of 40% CAGR) and even if it only returns 20% CAGR over five years, that move alone lifts your portfolio by 0.4%.

Your downside is capped at 2%.

And your upside might be a 400 basis point boost.

Move that allocation to 5%, and at the same conservative 20% CAGR, you gain 1% at the portfolio level.

Worst-case scenario, you’re down 5%.

Upside could exceed 1,000 basis points.

That’s why Bitcoin fits the “small slice, big effect” blueprint.

And well, the risk is defined: 2 to 5% is enough.

It’s fully liquid: unlike a locked-up fund, you can exit any day of the week.

And it’s uncorrelated: Bitcoin moves on monetary debasement, not corporate earnings.

👉🏽Here’s how a #familyoffice executes:

Many family offices are sitting on real estate assets that aren’t generating any active income.

They’re simply hoping these properties will appreciate and eventually sell. This approach ties up capital in idle assets, resulting in wasted time and poor returns on investment.

→ They can rank and cut the lowest-returning assets, usually starting with the bottom 10%.

→ They reallocate 2 to 5% into a compliance-ready, multisig-secured Bitcoin position.

This is a rebalance worth considering.

Look, the adoption of #bitcoin among family offices is rising, with 24% having direct exposure and most keeping allocations under 5%.

It's happening #Nostr.

And it might become known 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘙𝘦𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 in the 21st century. The most lucrative financial strategy.
