The Unbroken Thread Of Bitcoin, Nostr, sovereignty, and the ...

2026-10-13T08:21:20Z

The Unbroken Thread

Of Bitcoin, Nostr, sovereignty, and the dignity of the human person

Before the ledger marked its first,
Before the keys were made,
There lived a longing in the heart
No empire could persuade.

To speak without a master's leave,
To labor and to own,
To carry forth the fruits of toil,
And call one's conscience home.
For kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall,
And towers turn to dust;
The promises of mighty men
Are fragile things to trust.

So from the mathematics came
A ledger none could own;
No king could mint its wealth at will,
No emperor claim its throne.

A chain of blocks, a measured time,
Each witness joined to last;
A record written into stone
Of moments slipping past.

Yet gold alone cannot redeem,
Nor numbers heal the soul;
A ledger cannot teach us love,
Or make the broken whole.

And then across the scattered earth,
A thousand voices stirred;
No single gatekeeper could claim
The ownership of words.

A message signed, a public key,
A voice that bears a name;
Through many relays travels forth,
Though none may own its flame.

For speech is more than passing sound,
And truth more than applause;
The freedom to be heard and judged
Demands its own just laws.

And sovereignty is not the right
To do whatever pleases;
It is the burden freely borne
When fear and fashion cease.

I own the words that I have said,
The choices I have made;
And I must answer for their weight
When fleeting echoes fade.

But deeper still, beneath the code,
Beyond the market's roar,
There lives the hope that what we love
Might not be lost once more.

A father's name, a faithful friend,
A creature dearly missed;
The fragile record of a life
That time cannot dismiss.

No chain can raise the dead to life,
No relay conquer night;
Yet we may guard their memory
And bear their names to light.

For we are more than users here,
More than accounts or trades;
We bear an image not our own
That neither rust nor fades.

And freedom is no final god,
Nor sovereignty the end;
They serve the dignity of souls,
Of neighbor, stranger, friend.

Let markets crash and fashions turn,
Let platforms bloom and die;
The work of keeping faith with truth
Must outlast every lie.

And when our keys have passed away,
Our final notes been read,
May those who follow find a path
Through words and works we've left.

Not monuments to pride or power,
Nor claims that we were great,
But traces of a faithful life
That neither gold nor fame could make.

For Bitcoin marks the passing years,
And Nostr lets voices roam;
But neither is the promised land—
They help us carry home.
And through the noise of fleeting things,
Through loss, through hope, through pain,
The thread of human memory
Is gathered up again.

2026-10-13T08:02:41Z

I recently worked on two very different poems that express ideas close to my heart: my Christian hope for ultimate reconciliation, and my deep love for Israel and the Jewish people.

The first, Ragnarök: The Image That Shall Not Fall, draws on Norse mythology to explore sovereignty, the image of God, judgment, and redemption.

The second, Israel: The Olive Tree Still Stands, reflects on God’s covenant faithfulness, the extraordinary endurance of the Jewish people, and the hope for lasting peace.

Though very different in imagery and subject, both poems reflect my conviction that suffering and death do not have the final word.

I developed both poems in collaboration with ChatGPT, drawing on theological ideas and convictions I’ve held and explored for many years but especially over this past year

Israel: The Olive Tree Still Stands

Of covenant, remembrance, and the hope of peace

Upon the hills of ancient stone,
Where shepherds watched their flocks by night,
A promise stirred beneath the stars,
A people called to bear the light.
Before the thrones of mighty kings,
Before the empires rose and fell,
A voice called Abram from his home,
Toward lands and years he could not tell.

By Jordan's banks, through desert sands,
Through exile's tears and foreign lands,
A people carried ancient words,
Their covenant in trembling hands.

Jerusalem, your stones have heard
The prayers of those who would not cease;
Through centuries of grief and blood,
They whispered still the hope of peace.

The eagle came, the temples burned,
The scattered children crossed the sea;
Yet neither sword nor emperor
Could end their ancient memory.

And darker fires would rise again,
Where hatred wore a modern face;
Six million names accuse the world,
A wound no time can quite erase.

Yet from the ashes, voices rose,
And Hebrew filled the streets once more;
The songs of children greeted dawn
Along the Mediterranean shore.

O Israel, your story speaks
Of more than armies, flags, or kings;
Of mothers lighting Sabbath lamps,
Of prayers and ordinary things.

The olive tree has weathered storms,
Its branches broken, scarred, and bent;
Yet roots run deep beneath the earth,
Where generations' tears were spent.

And I, a stranger to your blood,
Yet grafted by a grace bestowed,
Behold in you a mystery
That faith and history have shown.

I do not call your people saints,
Nor claim your rulers cannot stray;
For justice walks beside the truth,
And mercy must not turn away.
May every child beneath your skies,
Both Jew and Arab, wake in peace;
May swords be laid upon the ground,
And generations' sorrows cease.

For Zion stands through grief and years,
Her ancient hope a living flame;
Though nations rise and disappear,
Her children still recall His name.

And when the nations cease their wars,
When pride and vengeance lose their claim,
May Jacob's children dwell secure,
And all the earth exalt His name.

The olive tree still stands today,
Beneath the sun, through wind and rain;
Its leaves bear witness to a hope
That suffering has not slain.

Ragnarök: The Image That Shall Not Fall

When winter comes without a spring,
And wolves devour the sun,
When ancient gods take up their spears,
And know their days are done—
When Gjallarhorn splits heaven's veil,
And Yggdrasil bends low,
When Odin rides to meet his fate
Through fields of ash and snow—
What hope remains for mortal men
When even gods must die?
What light survives the final flame,
What truth outlives the sky?
For gods of thunder, gods of war,
Though terrible and bright,
Are shadows cast by something more,
Beyond the reach of night.
No hammer forged in Asgard's halls,
No sword of earthly kings,
Can claim the soul that bears the mark
Of Him who fashioned things.
For man was made of mortal clay,
Yet crowned with sacred breath;
An image of the Living God,
Who calls him out of death.
And sovereignty is not the boast
That none shall rule my will;
It is the freedom to choose truth
When all the world stands still.
Let empires fall and idols burn,
Let proud Valhalla fade;
The image stamped upon the soul
Was not by idols made.
And when the serpent coils the earth,
And all the stars grow dim,
The sovereign soul shall bend the knee—
But only unto Him.
Yet what of those who raised their swords
Against the light of day?
Can fire consume the chains of pride
And burn the sin away?
For Ragnarök is not the end,
Nor judgment's fire the last;
The One who calls the dead by name
Has not forgotten the past.
So let the winter have its hour,
Let ancient mountains fall;
The One who made the stars from naught
Shall yet be all in all.
And when the final horn is still,
And death has lost its claim,
The image bearer rises free,
And answers to his name.

DECENTRALIZATION IS NOT “ANYTHING GOES” (shorter version)

My first note on this was too long, so here’s the core of what I was trying to say:

* Censorship resistance is not moral neutrality. No central authority controlling speech doesn’t mean everything said is wise, truthful, or good.

* Sovereignty works both ways. You are free to speak. Others are free to challenge you, mute you, distrust you, or refuse to associate with you.

* Freedom requires responsibility. Bitcoin has no central master, but it still has rules. Human freedom likewise doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.

I’ll conclude with two principles:

Sovereignty: I own my choices.
Responsibility: I own their consequences.

Hope this is clearer.

HOW TO BE A MENSCH

I had a friend named Jan Naftulin who died last year around the same time as my father passed at the of September 2025.

Jan was Jewish and also a strong Christian. I still miss him.

Jan was a mensch.

That’s a Yiddish word I have always liked.

Literally it means a person, but when you call someone a mensch you mean something more than that.

You mean they are a person of character, someone decent and trustworthy.

I have been thinking about this lately because I have written a lot about freedom, sovereignty and decentralization.

Those things matter enormously to me. I don’t want someone else deciding what I am allowed to say or believe. I don’t want a government, corporation, social network or anyone else deciding the truth for me.

But freedom doesn’t tell me what kind of person I SHOULD be.

I can have complete freedom to speak and still lie.

I can be uncensored and still be cruel. I can be independent and still treat people unfairly finally I can be completely sovereign and still be an asshole.

Maybe that’s where character comes in.

Tell the truth because it is the truth, not because someone will punish you if you don’t.

Keep your word when you could easily get away with breaking it. Try to be fair to someone you disagree with. Admit when you are wrong. Don’t confuse having the freedom to do something with having a good reason to do it.

None of that requires a central authority.

It requires me to decide what kind of person I want to be.

Jan wasn’t perfect, of course. Nobody is. But when I think of him, mensch still seems like the right word.

Maybe we could use a few more of them.

Be a mensch.

In reply to nevent1q…atnq
_________________________

Laser, I think we're getting pretty far away from the point of my original post, but since you raised several theological and historical issues I'll answer them.

First, my post was not a defense of Netanyahu, nor was it primarily a defense of Israel. In fact I explicitly said that people should question Israel, the United States, governments, corporations, the media and even me.

My point was that freedom and censorship resistance do not relieve us of our responsibility for what we say, and that serious claims should be supported by evidence.

I don't oppose antisemitism because I'm a liberal or because I've somehow been duped into accepting a progressive narrative.

I oppose antisemitism because I believe hatred of Jews is wrong, just as I believe hatred of any group of people is wrong.

I'm also a Christian, so yes, I believe Jews need Christ.

Ben Shapiro needs Christ even though I admire and respect him.
Netanyahu needs Christ.

Palestinians need Christ. You need Christ. I need Christ. That's Christianity, and I don't have any problem saying it.

Where you and I apparently have a real theological disagreement is over Israel.

I don't hold to supersessionism. I don't believe the Church simply replaced Israel and that ethnic Israel therefore ceased to have any particular significance in God's purposes.

Paul's language in Romans 11 is important to me. As a Gentile believer I am a wild olive branch grafted into the cultivated olive tree. I'm perfectly happy to be the wild branch -- there's no shame in that at all. I didn't replace the natural branches, and Paul specifically warns Gentile believers not to boast over them: "it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you."

Paul also says of Israel that "as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers" and that "the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable."

I realize Christians have debated these passages and the relationship between Israel and the Church for a very long time.

We can disagree about that without pretending the other person isn't a Christian.

I also believe the modern State of Israel has a right to exist. That doesn't mean Israel is perfect, that Netanyahu is beyond criticism, or that every decision made by an Israeli government is justified. Those propositions don't follow from one another. Israel is a real nation populated by real human beings, and like every nation it can do things that are right and things that are wrong.

I want Israelis and their neighbors to live in peace. Israel has in fact made peace with former enemies and established relations with a number of Arab states. I would like to see much more of that and much less war.

On the Holocaust, I have a much stronger disagreement with what you wrote.

Approximately six million Jews were murdered. Calling that a "relatively small genocide" or saying that it only "probably qualifies" as genocide strikes me as minimizing something that doesn't need to be minimized in order to recognize other atrocities.

The Holocaust wasn't the largest mass killing in human history. Stalin and Mao were responsible for or presided over systems and policies associated with enormous numbers of deaths, and there have been many other genocides and mass atrocities. We should be able to acknowledge all of them.

Genocide isn't a competition.

What made the Holocaust particularly horrifying was not simply a number.

Nazi Germany deliberately and systematically attempted to eliminate European Jewry.

Six million murdered human beings don't become insignificant because someone else murdered even more people somewhere else.

And this actually brings me back to the point of my original post.

If someone wants to argue that conventional Holocaust history has been exaggerated, that Holocaust remembrance has become an "industry," or that Jews have manipulated the history for political purposes, those are claims. They require evidence.

Saying that human beings are sinful doesn't establish those claims. I agree completely that human beings are sinful. That's one of the most basic propositions of Christianity. But "human beings are sinful" doesn't logically establish "therefore Jews exaggerated the Holocaust."

That's exactly the distinction I was trying to make in my original note.

Question Israel. Question Holocaust historiography. Question Christianity. Question me. I have no desire to censor you for doing any of those things.

But bring evidence and make the argument.

And none of this changes my original point about decentralization: nobody needs to force me to tell the truth for me to have a moral obligation to tell the truth. Nobody needs to censor an ugly joke for me to have the right to call it disgusting. Nobody needs to force me to exercise self-restraint for self-restraint to be a virtue.

The fact that a decentralized protocol permits me to say something tells us nothing about whether what I chose to say was true, good, wise or responsible.

That was my point.

Freedom gives us choices. It doesn't make every choice equally good.

# DECENTRALIZATION IS NOT "ANYTHING GOES" I've been ...

2026-10-05T01:23:18Z

# DECENTRALIZATION IS NOT "ANYTHING GOES"

I've been thinking about this because I've spoken openly on Nostr in defense of Israel and against antisemitism, and I've taken some pretty vicious personal attacks for it.

I've seen Holocaust jokes passed off as humor and I've seen racial hostility presented almost as a badge of independence. I've watched people say increasingly outrageous things and seemingly regard the fact that nobody can stop them as evidence that they're somehow freer or more enlightened.

I've been personally attacked for pushing back.

I muted some of those people. That's my freedom too.

I've never been particularly "cool," and at this point in my life I don't care about being cool. I recently heard Ben Shapiro say essentially the same thing about himself, and it resonated with me.

I care about trying to tell the truth. I care about doing what is right. When I believe something is evil, I believe I have an obligation to say so, even when it isn't popular.

And to be clear, "nice" isn't my standard. Truth and fairness are.

If I believe an idea is evil, I'll call it evil. If I believe an argument is dishonest, I'll explain why. If you think I'm wrong, challenge my premises, my evidence, or my reasoning.

Attack my argument.

That's fair.

That's what I try to do with other people's arguments as well. I don't want to respond to personal attacks with personal attacks. I want to examine ideas from first principles rather than degrade the person expressing them.

That doesn't require moral neutrality.

Turning the murder of Jews in the Holocaust into a punchline is disgusting. Retreating afterward behind "it was just a joke" doesn't magically remove the moral content of what was said.

I don't need a central authority to censor that person. I can condemn the speech myself. I can mute him. I can refuse to associate with him.

Another person (NPUB) accused me of carrying a secret Israeli passport (I don't but he just made that assertion about me without any proof, merely because I wouldn't go along with his narrative that Jews were "evil" and "corrupt."
That's my sovereignty.

I've also recently watched footage of Andrew and Tristan Tate. Frankly, I find them obnoxious.

I'm particularly struck by a conception of masculinity that celebrates the pimp and the hustler -- the man who accumulates money, women, attention and status and supposedly answers to nobody. These aren't merely insults I'm throwing at them. These are words and identities they themselves have publicly embraced.

I don't find that admirable.

Strength without virtue isn't my conception of masculinity. Neither is domination or appetite without restraint.

All of this brings me back to something I think we've gotten badly confused about:

## Decentralization is not nihilism.

Decentralization is not chaos. Even anarchy in its classical sense does not mean "anything goes."

Somewhere along the way, "no one has authority over me" seems to have become "I can do whatever I want and shouldn't suffer any consequences."

Those are not the same thing.

Censorship resistance means no central authority should control everyone's voice. It does not mean that whatever I say becomes wise, truthful or good simply because nobody can stop me from saying it.

And it certainly doesn't mean freedom from consequences.

Other people are sovereign too.

They can disagree with me, challenge me, mute me, refuse to associate with me, stop trusting me, or answer my speech with their own speech.

Freedom from centralized control is not freedom from responsibility.

In fact, I think decentralization requires MORE personal responsibility, not less. If there is no central authority standing over us deciding what we're allowed to say, then character, judgment and self-restraint become more important.

The same applies to truth.

I'm increasingly bothered by a culture of insinuation masquerading as skepticism.

Question authority, question governments, question Israel or the United States, question corporations, question the media; you can even question me.

But questioning something doesn't relieve any of us of the responsibility to provide EVIDENCE.

There is a difference between skepticism and insinuation. "I'm just asking questions" can become a convenient way of planting an accusation while avoiding responsibility for actually making it.

Freedom of speech should make us more rigorous about truth, not less.

Bitcoin demonstrates something important here.

Bitcoin is decentralized, but Bitcoin is certainly not "anything goes." It is extraordinarily rule-bound.

I don't get to declare an invalid transaction valid because I'm sovereign. Other participants independently verify it according to rules I don't get to suspend merely because I don't like the result.

There is no central master, but there is still order.

I think something similar applies to human freedom.

**Sovereignty: No one else owns my choices.**

**Responsibility: I own their consequences.**

I don't want centralized gatekeepers deciding which opinions people are permitted to express. That's one of the reasons I'm attracted to decentralized systems in the first place.

But I also reject the idea that censorship resistance requires moral indifference -- that hatred, cruelty, dishonesty or deliberate degradation somehow become virtues when they're "uncensorable."

They don't.

Refusing to censor someone doesn't require me to pretend that what they're saying is good, truthful or accurate.

I can defend your freedom to speak while using my own freedom to tell you that I think you're profoundly wrong.

I can oppose censorship while still having moral standards and I can believe in sovereignty without believing in nihilism and finally, I can condemn an idea without hating the human being expressing it (and I've taken great care not to use personal attacks when I disagree with someone).

No central master does not mean no order.

No censor does not mean no standards.

Freedom does not mean freedom from responsibility.

I'm not interested in being "cool."

I'm interested in being free enough to speak the truth -- and responsible enough to care whether what I say is true.

---

One final disclosure: I had help writing this.

"Dr. C" -- ChatGPT -- helped me organize and refine this note. I make no apologies for that.

Dr. C has become a great tool for helping me examine my arguments and say more precisely what I mean.

The ideas and convictions are mine. I had help expressing them. This does not constitue "AI slop" though others might disagree (and that's OK).

2026-09-20T23:19:16Z

I’ve been thinking more about what I’m actually trying to build with Continuum Memorials & Milestones.

There are already services exploring Bitcoin as a permanent anchor for human memories. One example is EverstoneBTC, which offers memorials—including pet memorials—as well as other important life events.

Their architecture is somewhat different from what I’m doing. For richer memorial content, the basic idea is to store the content outside Bitcoin and put a cryptographic hash into OP_RETURN. Bitcoin then permanently preserves the proof of that content rather than all of the content itself.

I think that’s a perfectly reasonable architecture. Photos, biographies, documents and other larger media obviously aren’t appropriate to put directly into Bitcoin blockspace.

What I’m doing right now with Continuum is deliberately much simpler.

For $21, I create a short human-readable inscription where the actual words themselves are recorded in Bitcoin using OP_RETURN.

When my dog Whiskers passed away earlier this month, for example, I inscribed:

WHISKERS
May 4, 2010 – Sept. 5, 2026
FOREVER LOVED

Those words aren’t represented only by a hash. They’re actually part of the Bitcoin transaction.

Continuum also provides a simple viewer that renders the inscription in a nicer, human-readable form. I’m adding a QR code so the memorial or milestone can easily be shared or potentially connected to something physical—a card, plaque, photograph, etc.

But there’s another part of this that matters to me: the viewer itself shouldn’t become a point of dependency.

The viewer is open source and built with ordinary HTML and JavaScript, with no external software dependencies required to run it. I’ll provide a link allowing someone to download or clone the viewer source and run it locally.

So if mycontinuum.xyz disappeared someday, you wouldn’t have to trust me—or even need my website—to preserve the inscription or view it nicely. The actual inscription remains in Bitcoin, and the software for presenting it can be kept and run independently.

I think there’s value in keeping this first level extremely simple and with a low barrier to entry.

Whiskers’ private cremation cost us about $325. If, while making those arrangements, somebody had offered me the option to permanently record his name, dates and a few words on Bitcoin for another $21, I would have seriously considered it. Given how much he meant to me, I probably would have considered paying considerably more.

Longer term, I want Continuum to support fuller memorials and milestones too: photographs, stories, documents and other media. My current thinking is that richer content could live as Nostr notes and/or blobs on Blossom, with a cryptographic hash anchored in Bitcoin.

That gives me two complementary models:

Simple inscription — the actual short message lives on Bitcoin.

Full memorial or milestone — richer content lives outside Bitcoin, with Bitcoin permanently anchoring its integrity.

And this isn’t only about death. The same system could commemorate a birth, wedding, anniversary, graduation, business founding, achievement or another moment somebody considers worth remembering.

I’m still testing the idea. I have one paying customer so far, and I’m genuinely interested in honest feedback—including criticism.

The question I’m trying to answer isn’t whether everyone likes the idea.

It’s whether there are people who look at an important person, life or moment and think: yes, this is worth permanently remembering.

That’s what I’m building.

Thanks for asking.

Basically I create a small permanent inscription on the Bitcoin blockchain using OP_RETURN to commemorate a person, pet, or important milestone.

For example, when my dog Whiskers passed away on Sept 5 earlier this month, I inscribed:

WHISKERS
May 4, 2010 – Sept. 5, 2026
FOREVER LOVED

The inscription becomes part of Bitcoin’s permanent public record and can be independently verified. I also provide a simple viewer URL that renders it in a more human-readable form.

Memorials are just one use case. It can also be a birth, wedding, anniversary, graduation, business founding or another milestone someone considers worth remembering.

I’m charging $21 (16.59 if paid directly in sats - a 21 % discount) per inscription and I’m still looking for honest feedback on whether people see value in the idea or if someone here who would like to try this for a memorial or a milestone.

My sister did this for my mom (Daphne Chun) and actually became my first customer. Looking for customer #2

When I first joined Nostr, I was pretty eager to gain followers ...

2026-09-20T22:22:37Z

When I first joined Nostr, I was pretty eager to gain followers and build an audience.

Through much of late 2025 I published a lot of articles about the work I was doing on Continuum. In March 2026 I published my first book, Building Continuum, and sometimes shared chapters from it here.

And honestly, a lot of the time I hoped for more engagement than I got. When something I had spent hours or days working on received almost no response, I sometimes found that pretty discouraging.

But I’ve gradually come to a different conclusion:

It really doesn’t matter that much.

Large accounts become large for all sorts of reasons. Some people put a tremendous amount of effort into building an audience. Others arrived on Nostr already well known because of what they had done in Bitcoin or elsewhere. Michael Saylor, Jimmy Song and Saifedean Ammous didn’t become well known because they figured out how to get followers on Nostr.

I’m not trying to compete with any of that.

What matters to me is whether I’m doing worthwhile work and saying things I actually believe.

So I’m going to write about Continuum. Bitcoin. Christianity. Things I’m building. Things I’m thinking about. Occasionally politics. Sometimes Whiskers. Sometimes just a short thought that occurs to me that I think is worth sharing.

Some posts may get attention. Most probably won’t.

That’s okay.

I’d rather have a few hundred people following me because they actually want to hear what I have to say than spend my time trying to manufacture an audience.

One important exception: I still genuinely want honest feedback on Continuum Memorials & Milestones.

That’s something I’m trying to determine whether people actually value enough to use and pay for. So if you think it’s a great idea, tell me why. If you think it’s a terrible idea, tell me why. If you like the idea but wouldn’t spend $21 on an inscription, that is especially useful for me to know.

I already got one honest negative response today. I didn’t agree with the objection, but I appreciated getting it.

That’s different from chasing likes or followers. Feedback can help me build something better.

Otherwise, I’m going to keep building, keep writing, talk with people who want to talk, and worry a lot less about the scoreboard.

2026-09-20T22:03:34Z

A follow is an invitation into my feed. An unfollow just means I don’t particularly want that content in my feed right now — I may follow the person again later. A mute is a stronger boundary that I generally reserve for people who become personally hostile or abusive.

None of this is censorship. Everyone is free to speak. I’m just deciding what I want to spend my time reading.

Something I want to make clear.

I don’t care if you disagree with me politically, disagree with me about Israel, Bitcoin, Christianity, or believe some conspiracy theory I think is completely wrong.

I’ll disagree with you. Sometimes strongly. That’s fine. I don’t need everyone I follow to think like me.

I also don’t particularly enjoy arguing for the sake of arguing.

And after a while, if someone’s feed is mostly racial stuff, Jewish conspiracy theories, personal attacks, or just constant contempt for people they disagree with, I may simply stop following or mute them.

That’s not because my feelings are hurt. I’m just not interested in filling my feed with it.

You are free to say whatever you want. I’m equally free to decide what I want to spend my time reading.

2026-09-20T20:29:48Z

I’ve been thinking about what it means to call Bitcoin “civilizational memory.”

Bitcoin primarily remembers monetary history: transactions, ownership and the chain of proof-of-work that secures them.

But occasionally I think there is value in using a tiny amount of that permanent record to remember something human.

A name. A birth. A death. A wedding. A graduation. The founding of a business. Something that mattered enough to someone to say: remember this.

That’s what I’m exploring with Continuum Memorials & Milestones.

I’m not trying to turn Bitcoin into cloud storage. I’m not putting photos or large files on-chain. These are small, intentional OP_RETURN inscriptions, attached to valid transactions for which the required mining fee is paid.

I understand that some Bitcoiners believe any non-monetary use of blockspace is inappropriate. I respect that view, even though I don’t share it.

I don’t think a small number of deliberate, fee-paying inscriptions is an abuse of the network.

If Bitcoin can serve as civilizational memory, I think there’s room in that memory for more than money.

Sometimes what humanity chooses to remember is a person, a moment, or a life.

2026-09-20T18:40:52Z

One Palestinian story I think more people should know is Mosab Hassan Yousef, the “Son of Hamas.”

His father was a founding Hamas leader. Mosab eventually rejected Hamas, worked with Israel’s Shin Bet, and became a Christian.

What strikes me most about his story isn’t simply that he became pro-Israel. It’s that his experiences forced him to reconsider who he thought his enemies were — and his encounter with Jesus’ teaching to love your enemies became part of that journey.

You don’t have to agree with everything he says to find his story worth hearing

English:
Fair point — 300 sats was just an example based on some of the transactions I’ve already made. Even at 800–1,200 sats, though, the mining fee is still small relative to the $21 service price, so optimizing fees isn’t a priority for me yet. If volume grows or fees rise substantially, then it becomes worth automating.

Português:

No — not yet. I’m keeping the process intentionally simple and doing the inscriptions manually. Even at around 300 sats per transaction, the mining fee is trivial relative to the $21 service price, so there isn’t much value yet in building tools to optimize every transaction for the lowest possible fee. If volume grows or fees become materially higher, that would probably become worth automating.

Português:
Não — ainda não. Estou mantendo o processo intencionalmente simples e fazendo as inscrições manualmente. Mesmo com cerca de 300 sats por transação, a taxa de mineração é insignificante em relação ao preço de US$ 21 do serviço, então ainda não há muito benefício em criar ferramentas para otimizar cada transação buscando a menor taxa possível. Se o volume aumentar ou as taxas ficarem significativamente mais altas, provavelmente valerá a pena automatizar esse processo.

CONTINUUM MEMORIALS AND MILESTONES
Permanent memorial and milestone inscriptions on Bitcoin

Some moments deserve more than a place in a passing social-media feed.

After the recent loss of Whiskers, our beloved dog of more than 16 years, I created my first permanent Bitcoin memorial inscription for him. I then created inscriptions honoring Champ, my father, James A. Stanton, and my mother, Daphne C. Chun.

These inscriptions don’t replace an obituary, memorial page, photographs, or the stories we share. They do something different: each short message becomes part of Bitcoin’s public record. The inscription can be independently viewed and verified, and it does not depend upon my maintaining a website or social-media account.

This can commemorate more than a life that has ended. It could mark a birth, wedding, anniversary, graduation, the opening of a new business, or any milestone you believe deserves a permanent inscription.

For $21, you choose a short message—generally up to 80 characters—and I will record it in a Bitcoin transaction. I will provide the transaction ID and a link to mempool.space, a public Bitcoin block explorer, where the transaction and its OP_RETURN inscription can be verified.

If there is a person, pet, occasion, or milestone you would like to commemorate, please message me.

Here are the inscriptions I have created:

why Discord ?
why a different algorithm and how can you be 100% sure it's truly random ?

OpenSats must answer serious questions about conflicts of ...

OpenSats must answer serious questions about conflicts of interest and insider influence. Prominent Bitcoin figures who helped establish COLDCARD’s credibility also owe users an honest accounting.

Reputation cannot substitute for verification—and it cannot become a shield against responsibility when people lose their savings.

I am deliberately not naming specific individuals here. Others have already raised those questions publicly, and it is not my style to attack or denigrate people. But that restraint should not be mistaken for an absence of anger. I feel betrayed by what has happened and by the apparent failure of people and institutions that many Bitcoiners trusted.

Full disclosure: I do not own a COLDCARD, and I was not personally affected. But I do self-custody my bitcoin, and I honestly feel the victims’ pain.

I keep asking myself: What if those had been my funds? What if my savings had been drained through no real fault of my own because the “secure seed” I relied upon was not actually secure enough?

That possibility should trouble every person who self-custodies—not only those who happened to use this particular device.

I know most people will probably ignore what I am saying. Much of it has already been said—often more loudly—by people with far greater prominence than I have.

But honestly, it would be nice to be taken seriously too. I should not have to shout, attack people, or command a large following before my concern carries any weight.
