well done!
Wow. I can feel that on so many levels. Miss my old home... Such an incredible view. Blessings to you.
Apologies for taking forever to see this. I forget to check messages and don't have notifications... Yes. That's right...
Good for you building. I am a techie by pattern match and desire not actually a coder. I watch people like you creating great things and do what I can to link them together for better impact.
My Adopting Bitcoin talk is live and available on Rumble.

Basically, I'd like to transition my business from builder mode to value-creation mode. I need either clients, partnerships, or (a lot of) customers within a month or two.
38 minutes is a lot of time to ask of you and I don't expect a ton of folks to watch it all, so here's the tl;dr.
I am an independent, solo founder building software that competes against Big Tech with technical jujitsu. I identify where Big Tech's strengths (blind spots) are and craft "sly, roundabout ways" that can turn their biggest revenue generators into their largest liabilities, quickly. I'm unable to discuss this strategy publicly at this time, but I am happy to go into more detail on a private, unrecorded call with trusted folks of integrity.
To get more concrete, I've spent the last year and a fair amount of my own cash creating an interoperative API network with artificial intelligence that is capable of creating beautiful apps and foundational changes to the way content is created, consumed, marketed, accessed, stored, and more. I've tweeted about it a lot, and the last ≈7 minutes of the video is a demo of my corporate site and Hash.pink which is the best working example of a site that is driven by several of my proprietary AI tools as well as a showcase of my proprietary collaborative API tooling.
That being said, I don't want to paint it as anything more than an alpha release at this stage. I haven't tested security and privacy in "hardcore" mode yet, although it follows the best practices other sites/apps use. So, I wouldn't trust anything I've made with your medical history or private information just yet. I'd treat it like a younger Drive/Evernote/etc, where you store information you need to access quickly, but you trust your local storage or other options for more sensitive information.
Apart from those light technical details, I'm one of the only developers who is openly and eagerly biased toward traditional family values, forgotten folks in America, homeschoolers, anti-vaxxers, 2nd amendment enthusiasts, J6 prisoners and activists, and others who'd self-identify as MAGA, libertarian, rightwing, as a sovereign individual, or as something else on the "dissident" spectrum that causes you to mistrust the "experts" and mainstream sources.
Since I fit in with several (ok, probably all) of those groups and have faced de-banking and censorship for my political and personal beliefs, I feel the pain acutely. During COVID, the prevailing wisdom from the Left was, "Learn to code, build your own platform." I took their advice and that's what I've done and want to keep doing.
My goal isn't just to FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT, I want to create genuinely useful products that are delightful to use, more performant than competitors, at a lower price whenever possible. I want to encourage the kind of dialog that Charlie Kirk died for to repair the way humans interact with each other, as opposed to the way current sources of information/media get us to fight with each other because otherwise, we'd be fighting them. Of course, they just can't have that!
It's not just "I want" or "I will," I've actually built out several functioning products that you can try out today. Right now. All of them are heavily reliant upon my ecosystem. It rocks, and building without it is like going from listening to audio at 2.5x speed to 0.25 speed.
It is that good to use it. And moving at my unassisted faster-than-average pace without it is agonizing and slow.
So, I'm asking for help now, because we don't have a lot of time if we want to have a fighting chance to combat the dominance that OpenAI, Gemini, etc already enjoy. I need these tools to work because they're impactful to my life as an entrepreneur, designer, developer, and human. If you use them, they'll be similarly impactful for you, and since I'm trying my best to stay small, reachable, and boutique... I'm literally a call or a DM away. I want to stay that way because I am building for YOU and I want to know how I can improve your future.
If I run into a situation where money gets tight in the coming months/year and I have to choose between working a corporate job and taking care of my family or allowing my family to starve, I'm going to sacrifice the mission for my family. That's what men do. But it'll hurt, because I genuinely believe that if I do not do this work, I am not only forsaking the path God has set out for me, but I'd hold myself personally responsible for the more dystopian future that we'll almost certainly wind up in.
I don't (necessarily) want your money, this isn't a GiveSendGo.
Instead, I'm exploring different paths to creating value for my community. I can build apps for businesses or families, or I can get a bunch of users for my current apps, I can raise an investment round, or... lots of options. I'm just not sure which path is best for me, so I am open to advice, suggestions, and introductions to help me decide.
If this Bitcoin price action hadn't unexpectedly eroded 25% of my treasury's purchasing power in the last month, I wouldn't be writing this. But it did, in just the last few days, and after speaking at Adopting and hearing from others who validated the need for my solutions, I feel like now is the time to switch into growth mode. If for nothing else, because we need a little optimism after so many hardships since 2020.
If you value who I'm building for and/or what I'm creating, reach out. My DMs are open, and if you don't have a way to DM, email me: cubby@colonhyphenbracket.pink.
I'm just switching into this mode and feeling pumped, so I am eager to hear ideas, do podcasts, meet with individuals, families, groups, businesses, churches. All of 'em.
Let's change the future together!
I just watched the whole video. Congrats and thank you for your contribution. There are parts of this I have been building (mostly have wanted) in terms of broadcasting one to many, social graph, self as layer 1 monetization ... I've got 5 years of video content to train my AI on and you may have parts of my vision and I may have ideas and privacy tech partners for you. Happy you are on my radar.
OMG. Can I white label for Koh Phangan? I too have a coconut addiction and would love to see more locals with Bitcoin.
Sacred and Scared are the same word depending on what you C.
What if "God" is just what people call the computer that runs the simulation we perceive as reality?
I like that. Prayer and tech support. Same, same but different.
So I wanted a Nostr follow button on my site.
Turns out... it didn’t exist 🤷♂️
So I built one. And more.

Yes. Many ideas. Great to see you executing.
BARRON’S INTERNAL MONOLOGUE:
“I always knew it might be an issue. The numbers were clear from the beginning—NASA’s upper limit for height caps at 6’4”. I’m 6’7”. Three inches. Just three inches. In the grand scheme of things, it’s nothing, right? The universe is vast beyond comprehension, distances measured in light-years, and yet… here I am, stuck on Earth because of three inches.
I could solve their trajectory calculations in my sleep. Orbital mechanics? Easy. I can conceptualize complex fluid dynamics in zero-g faster than most people can tie their shoes. But none of that matters when your femurs are too long to fit in a Starship command module. I’ve run the simulations; I’d cramp up, circulation would suffer, and emergency egress would be a nightmare.
It’s frustrating. I mean, why aren’t these things designed for outliers? They plan for redundancy in systems, triple-check tolerances, yet when it comes to the people who dream of space—of really understanding it—they stick to averages. It’s as if the boundary of space isn’t the Kármán line; it’s an arbitrary height limit on a bureaucratic spreadsheet.
Of course, now things are different. Father is president again. And while I’d rather do this without any special treatment, it’s ridiculous to let bureaucracy stand in the way of progress. I’ll insist that father speak with Elon to make adjustments. He’ll understand. He’s always talking about Mars, and let’s be honest—this is really just prudent planning. Lower gravity means people will stretch out; it’s a physiological inevitability. What happens when we get there and everyone’s 6’5” and they realize their precious little suits are obsolete? Someone needs to think ahead. Someone tall enough to see over the horizon.
I’ve thought about ways around it—designing my own suit, building a private mission, lobbying for changes in policy. But the reality is, the space industry isn’t kind to anomalies. It’s built on precision and predictability, and I… well, I’m an outlier in more ways than one.
Still, I can’t help but feel a pang of injustice. That something as trivial as my height stands between me and the cosmos. But that’s the beauty of being in my position now—if anyone can do something about it, it’s me. Father will listen. Elon will listen. This isn’t just about me; it’s about the future of tall people in space. https://v.nostr.build/YqColV1vbqVnJUQu.mp4
This deserves more attention. It is excellent in oh so many ways.
And yes, a lesson in taking time and pausing before posting here so that my spelling is correct and I include all I wanted to convey...
"To being visible so that we find each other and build this next more beautiful world. "
To bring visible so that we find each other and build this next more beautiful world.

I understand this tension. It is why I still pause on having more visibility. I am being called to serve and Bitcoin is a big part of that. I know my safety is at play and yet I have a purpose for being in this time space reality. I am here to shift the game and power the people. I am here to remind us of our sacred divinity and give all of us the reminder to exhale and the welcome to come home to our higher selves.
My being me is the value.
When I see people like nostr:npub1dg6es53r3hys9tk3n7aldgz4lx4ly8qu4zg468zwyl6smuhjjrvsnhsguz speaking truth to power and being examples of courage and love, I am less afraid. I believe that my intention will be broadcast and people will feel my goodness. It's yet another element of Trust that Bitcoin, source energy, and faith require. Our being us is the value. Our unique expression is the gift and my faith requires action. It requires my willingness to be seen and known for the feelings I transmit. That is my work to do.
I have two things for us to combine yet I am not tech enough to understand exactly how they fit. I just know that they do. one is a protocol...Bitcoin and VERUS ID, social tokens that include Bitcoin as the reserve asset - like having treasuries, and the other is the video/social platform, Plotaverse.com. I they should use Nostr for payments. The question is how to maintain audiences when they go to other clients.
I'm hopeful in the midst of the chaos. There is a quickening happening and yes, privacy must be addressed before everything is surveiled. Let's shift the narrative and also secure the Bitcoin Blockchain so it need not become the largest transaction database for the AI to decipher what it deems normal. Tech exists for this and it is critical and maintains Bitcoin's values.
Yet, this is a discussion maxis tune out on..i get it. And what if it only was positive impact for Bitcoin? The willingness to be open to possibilities that actually empower Bitcoin as a reserve asset while maintaining privacy are another narrative to shift. Believing everything goes to zero against Bitcoin so that you can't hearabout tech that incorporates Bitcoin and catapults it is another version of cognitive bias.
Wow. This just gave me massive validation for my solitary lifestyle. I really love being able to get a clear signal and do what I want. This just solidified my desire to be on my own. I felt guilty for loving it so much. I didn't realize how other people require us to adjust and compromise our signal. Here's the science for why it is so powerful for us.

There is deep trauma happening and many are going to need help to see what is real and then to adjust to the new reality. I ask all of us to have compassion for each other. At the core, we are the same. We want the best for our country and democracy.
@elonmusk and @RobertKennedyJr @realDonaldTrump and team. Can we please allocate funds for our mental wellness specifically to amplify connection?
There are many new Ai and collaborative methods for shared learning to soften fears and boost our emotional IQ. The mass formation that convinced our brothers and sisters that they are alone and separate and threatened is serious. It feels real.
We can fix food, censorship, media, healthcare, the money... And let's heal the nation. Our minds have been poisoned, yet we are resilient and can create new neural pathways. We can transmute the hate and transcend to being love.
The security of the nation will be dependent on how secure we feel within ourselves.
Kindness is key. Be good to each other. Let the next years unfold to benefit all. See how we can serve each other and re-establish a foundation of trust.
When the Ai becomes the next mass disruptor of what we thought we knew, we will also need ways to thrive with our new freedoms and responsibility. Considering now how to bolster the people's internal strength will be the barometer of a nation state's wealth.
