Need to give that a listen. Mike's fascinating. He was on my previous podcast. I jokingly call him "Cosmic Mike"!
Announcing Olas 0.1!
Olas is an Instagram-like client for iOS and Android.
Olas 0.1 provides a feed of videos (like those on flare/highlighter/zap.stream), picture events (kind:20, a new kind that no client had implemented yet) and the classical short notes with images attached we are all used to.
When publishing images, Olas uses the new kind:20, in a future release you’ll be able to control whether to publish as a short note so that it appears in microblogging clients too.
Some more features already available:
✅ blossom uploads 🌸
✅ NIP-22 replies
✅ Reels (still quite buggy though)
✅ Edit your preferred blossom servers
✅ Edit your nutsack mint list
✅ Image download optimization (to be gentle with mobile data plans)
Coming next:
- NIP-55 (Amber) Logic
- Fix NIP-46 (bunker) login
- complete NIP-60 (nutsack) wallet
- Add NIP-57/61 zaps + nutzaps
- Bookmarks
- NIP-29 support: you’ll be able to create private or public communities where to share photos and videos with; imagine creating a private group just for your family or friends where you can publish pictures you don’t want to share with the world; or a community for artists.
Android users got a chance to get a glimpse of it already since nostr- active app stores like Zapstore are 100x easier to work with than permissioned stores.
EXPECT BUGS, this is an alpha release.

Done
(It's especially cool when it's a Nostr relay offering!)
Notion is a tool I've used for many years now. Databases, even as websites. Their incorporation of AI is really impressive. It's like the software has "come alive".
What I do worry about though: where is the space for original thought?
If you can just AI for an answer on anything, are we no longer free thinkers?
Looking at middle of January 2025 to release the first episode of my new podcast
Good to have put a schedule in place
Lots of work to do meantime to make it happen
There's definitely less noise over here on Nostr. Question is: how valuable was the info you're now not seeing?
Opening up space in our lives, gives us the ability for new creativity to come through
My bet: long-term you'll benefit hugely from not being such a big part of the "news cycle"
My mate who runs the local cafe 'I reckon this bull market will top out around 120k usd"
Not a bad call in my view
Or at the very least a good "profit taking" level
Shout out the Bitcoin HODLers who's net wealth in the last 7 days has absolutely flown!

Preparing to "take some profits". Going to gift some Bitcoin to someone very close to me. Intention is to enable financial freedom for them
Reminder: even with one's purchasing power increasing, it doesn't change the fact that physical real estate is a terrible store-of-value vs Bitcoin. The nice house one starts to eye up, will be even cheaper, in just a few short years. Make renting work
Quite incredible to watch! Only just getting going as well. The mkt cap that really gets me is Gold. Now that will be a big deal
Very possible, 100k going to be resisted very strongly
Without risk, there is no reward
Fun to see things going in the right direction though, totally agree
Many an evening wondering "oops, what if I am wrong..?"
I've not met a single Bitcoiner who didn't think both:
- I am late
- I wish I'd bought more
I've made one other investment in 2 years, which is for a pre-ipo Bitcoin infrastructure company
A very small allocation
Otherwise I've not found a single thing I was confident could beat Bitcoin
As the Bitcoin price has surged, I've had a bunch of friends reach out to me
Often with such simple questions, which are not only easily answered, but also re-occuring
A handful of threads are great "customer discovery" proof-points for building some kind of product
2.5k views! thanks all! 🙏🏾

Such an interesting insight into the world of healthcare, but with a Bitcoin lens. Well done on all the progress nostr:npub1sx7y76csd7qarknpp4wp2ghpe87j9xhqu54tjp079nxjapr2sexqn8w69a. Of course happy to help whenever!

Shout out to:
- The Chinese government
- Block-fi
- Celsius
- FTX
Their efforts in 2022 helped me to accumulate far more Bitcoin than I would otherwise ever have done
What a horror show bear market that was, but decisions back then are paying dividends now
The old investment adage, "The time to buy is when there's blood in the streets", once again proving on point
