I'm trying to explicitly network all of the resources in the community to build local resilience for what I see as incoming financial crisis.

A big draw for people has been the idea of creating a time bank as an engine to run things like repair clinics and to keep our local service economy going even if jobs dry up and inflation soars. Another idea that excited people is creating a barter board, where real local people can post what they need or what they can offer and be able to trust it more than the scammers on the internet. That sort of swap meet could keep the local goods economy going.

Theoretically I'd like to get communication backups like mesh networks or running our own servers but that's outside of my area of expertise for now. But that's why it's a community effort, I don't know everything but there are people who do know what I don't know.

There are many separately run community gardens or food pantries, but if we communicate this garden has tons of potatoes we need folks growing more carrots then we can all have enough veggies for stew. Getting the farmer's at the farmer's market familiar enough with Bitcoin to feel confident about accepting it. These types of things will help us all stay fat and happy even if things fall apart on higher levels.

I think it's a mistake that we focus so much attention on the centralized national level, and now political games mean some local families go hungry. Or we can't process transactions because AWS is down again.

So this is about setting up redundancies, like prepping but at a community level. Two is one and one is none. I used to be big into prepping but realized isolation would be super lame and I want my community to be prepped with me.

I've only had two meetings so far but I've gotten about 35 people onboard already so that exciting. I'm looking into having a booth at the farmer's market this upcoming year.

Thank you very much for sharing this. Do you have any recommendations for folks trying to establish their own local communities with these ideas? I've started a local sovereignty salon but it's hard to communicate all of my ideas, there's tremendous interest already so I'm very excited and hope to grow the organization in 2026 🥰

I could see the Sovereignty Blueprint: access to clean water; regenerative agriculture and architecture; thermodynamically-sound monetary networks enabling renewable energy—all adopted not through force or coercion, but absorbed like osmosis through properly aligned incentives.

We measure success not by the day we cut the ribbon, but by the day the community no longer needs us at all.

That last one stings the ego. But it is the only medicine strong enough to heal centuries of dependency.

The choice we all face:

Is life happening to us or for us?

Whatever TerraKeepers does must be for them and by them. No savior complexes, no outside agendas.

Inside of you there are two wolves

Or, hear me out, we could use this as an opportunity to bring new industry, new skills, and ultimately a pipeline of economic sovereignty to the village using natural, local, regenerative building materials.

I did the unthinkable as a Bitcoiner. I lost my private keys to my first nostr account. But I’m back, baby! Ego bruised, inexpensive lessons learned, 4/10 stars overall.

With a fully functional bamboo curing facility and workshop, the first bamboo pillar was set for the community house on October 13, 2025.

Gonna have to try the shroom ones soon 🔥

Oooo you dig em?! Very cool, will work on those later this week ❤️😊

It’s #hodlbutter production day today 😁

It is only a matter of time before the stories emerge: “God used Charlie Kirk’s life and death to call me to himself. My eyes were opened to reality, I suddenly found myself turning away from my sin and towards Christ - crying out for mercy. God granted me repentance and faith through the murder of an innocent man who I once not only disagreed with, but passionately hated. Now I walk in newness of life.”

This is the story God has been telling over and over since he spoke the universe into existence. Where there once was death, decay, emptiness - there is now life, abundance, and fulfillment. Charlie is home, at peace with his creator - and many others will join him someday because of his courage and the short life he lived.

“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good…” Genesis 50:20

Whenever my Christian family or friends who have been captured by “weaponized universals” thinking say something like “render to Caesar what is Caesar’s,” I reply with, “Whose image is on a Bitcoin?”

Trying to find a good resource (podcast, lecture or interview) that breaks down the fiat scam and its outcomes.

Need something to give to a coworker and friend who is ready to be orange pilled. #plebchain #bitcoin
