"The gathering of the Muslim Bitcoin Summit is not about figuring out immediate solutions, but about something more, a gathering of minds. Representing a crack in cyberspace and reaching out into the physical realm to initiate a riba free culture that later forms into civilisation. Paradoxically, all major movements during the Enlightenment infected society this way, through the meeting of like minded minds that existed at the fringes of the dominant culture in secret societies and closed clubs who later changed the course of modernity itself.
In such a world that is spiralling into chaos, the Mohammadan recognises that his mission is not easy; that whoever owns the future is the one most attached to his divine purpose of being God's vicegerent on earth."

Absolutely incredible what we managed to pull off on such a shoestring budget, with people scattered across the world, most of whom had never even met in person, somehow coordinating and bringing it all together.

"What aIl bodies without organs have in common is intensity. Intensities can only form a continuum, unlike extensities, which can only form discrete points. If one's ontology begins with discrete objects, then one is very likely to end up with a discontinuous ontology and privilege stasis over change. If, on the other hand, one begins with intensities, the ontology flattens, becomes continuous. Here the new is possible. Here creation is possible. Here becoming is not subordinated to being."

It wasn't your fault! I think we miscalculated the time that's needed for workshops. We had this same problem at previous summits. We should explore concurrent workshops, and in a more open room type set up with 20-30 people each. Your session was perfect!
I'll write about it more in my upcoming essay inshaAllah.

I'll mention it in my reflections essay coming out, but we only had like 15 minutes to cover nostr. I got some contacts but couldn't sit down with them to walk through each individual to get on Nostr. Also, it was hard to talk to each person one to one when I'm getting pulled in so many different directions. The workshops could have been done better. But I think we know how to effectively do workshops now.

2026-10-12 00:06:19 UTC

Man. What a summit! It was crazy seeing Simon in person. What a presentation he did!
Also got to meet Harris Irfan in person finally! And I also go to meet Tarek El-Diwany in person, even though I only got to talk to him for like 3 minutes. It was funny, when I was talking to to him, I thanked him for writing his book, and I looked at him and said, you know Tarek, look around you, your book helped spark the Muslim bitcoin summit! You helped start this! He was quite surprised by that. Of course, I gave him a copy of my book.
npub1473kymvazn0mpnptcxeqwsajjp375wul9fjuh8jxt8magnkacmpqzsg6c5 and npub1rn0dyrykzlyd3wslc5zkn6wytu9nja3jczrk3zr5dx69x2grnups4c7xpe both did really well. I like that they both brought a more level headed approach to looking at Bitcoin, especially in relation to sovereignty and nation states.
It's always so overwhelming seeing all of the energy with these summits, especially this one. The folks that attended were so eager to talk to us and learn more. There were even non Muslims that were there that really enjoyed it and loved the energy.
The workshops were great too. Only @npub1h34…r4h0 could make elliptical curve mathematics sound interesting. I'm surprised he was able to keep the audience so engaged!
I also go to show off npub175nul9cvufswwsnpy99lvyhg7ad9nkccxhkhusznxfkr7e0zxthql9g6w0 's noornote app. So many folks in the audience were really impressed by the app, and liked his approach of building outside of the architecture of LSM. Folks were also fascinated by how I can just request features on an app by publicly talking to the developer, and zapping them for their work. They could tell that something was there, a feedback loop that we need to be tapping into more.
I was also pleasantly surprised by how many in the audience were already running Graphene OS. Running nostr just made sense to them.
Anyway. I'm tired now. Need sleep. I'll have more thoughts to share InshaAllah.

At the @npub15vs…wsy7 , we need to be asking what might happen as @npub1f7n…m25c stops thinking like an organization and becomes more of an assemblage for producing sovereign Muslims where sats, nodes, relays, FOSS, memes, summits, shared praxis recursively generate more capability, wealth, digital asabiyyah, new lines of flight. How do we make this thing proliferate sideways (rather than upwards), fork itself, go viral and deterritorialize from fiat institutions without eventually becoming another useless NGO shaped corpse chasing donors and legitimacy from old world? And if this actually works... if Muslim Bitcoiners become wealthy, technically capable and culturally infectious enough to start generating new businesses, waqf, infrastructure, institutions, etc., how do we survive that success without being reterritorialized back into the system we were trying to escape?
Been on my mind a lot lately.

Yesterday after Jumu’ah prayer, an old gentleman stood up to talk to us. He was nearly 80, a white revert, and he said a few words about his conversion story, about Islam being a religion of peace, and about his organization, Muslim Voices for Peace or something like that, can’t remember the exact name. He talked about how they were spreading dawah in over 100 countries, how he lives in Saudi Arabia now, in Jeddah, and how fortunate he felt to have spent his life doing this work.
He and some of the people traveling with him had set up a table outside with hats, t shirts, pamphlets, all kinds of merchandise that looked like it had been sitting in boxes for decades. Lots of “Know Islam, Know Peace” type stuff. You get the picture. Felt like the table had been teleported straight out of an Islamic convention from 2002.
He was a charming old man, though. You could tell age was catching up with him and that he was probably nearing the end of this chapter of his life and ready to retire any day now. I couldn’t help but approach him afterward, shook his hand, gave him a big hug.
The whole scene left me with this strange bittersweet feeling that I couldn’t quite shake. For a moment I felt like I was nine years old again, like I was listening to someone like Yusuf Estes explain that Islam means peace, that the Trinity doesn’t make sense, you know all that old school dawah material I heard constantly growing up. There was something deeply nostalgic about it. Felt like I was hearing echoes from some distant era in my childhood, surrounded for a few minutes by a kind of atmosphere I hadn’t realized had long disappeared.
And what made it even stranger was that my own 9 year old son was sitting next to me listening to him 😂
It was just surreal. I felt like Frieren suddenly encountering some ordinary event in the present that opened a door onto a life from centuries ago. Felt mundane but also dreamlike. I’m sitting there as a father now, watching my son at the same age I was when this particular style of American Muslim dawah was everywhere, and listening to this elderly brother who somehow carried that entire period with him into the room.
There’s a sobering side to it too, the brother really does seem frozen in the 90s and early 2000s. He’s still giving dawah as though Muslims just came out of 9/11 and our great civilizational task was convincing Americans that Islam is peaceful and explaining why the Trinity is wrong. The world he learned to operate in has pretty much vanished. The entire Muslim scene has changed. Everyone has moved on.
It reminded me of that Japanese soldier stranded on a remote island who kept fighting World War II decades after it was over. There’s something objectively funny about it, but also genuinely sad. He kept faithfully, and almost robotically, carrying out the mission he was given, even though the world around that mission disappeared. Maybe that’s why I felt compelled to hug him, idk.
For a few minutes he brought an entire vanished world back into the masjid with him. And sitting there beside my own son, I realized that I was remembering being nine myself.
I'll stop talking now. Just a weird reflection I had after Jumu’ah.

2026-10-02 17:58:12 UTC

The irony here is that the Kasurian editor's critique of Islamic finance doesn’t actually produce anything new.
IF basically accepts the prohibition on Riba but then modifies the contractual forms until they can be reterritorialized onto existing fiat/credit system. But he simply performs the inverse operation where he accepts the existing financial system, then reinterprets riba until the prohibition no longer interferes with it.
We can see that the first solution changes the financial signifiers while preserving the machine, and the other solution changes the religious signifier while preserving the machine. So either way, the same debt regime, banks, monetary architecture, incentive structures remain. The supposed line of flight just gets captured and routed straight back into the same assemblage.

The Habibi Tech summit might be the purest expression of the mentally fiatcaptured Muslim technological imagination.
Google/DeepMind, Meta, AWS, DHS, CDC, UN, World Bank, Wall Street, Islamic home financing, even combating climate disinformation, and so on, are all being represented
And even where the conference is “critical” of Big Tech, the critique never seems capable of escaping its underlying logic. More calls for ethical AI, more responsible innovation and regulation, Muslim representation with more Muslim founders and more Muslim venture capital. It's really just Muslims becoming more influential inside the machine. Of course, the current technological order itself remains unquestioned.
What seems almost impossible to imagine for these NPCs is Muslims deliberately becoming less dependent on these systems, building parallel monetary, communications and computational infrastructure, owning our identities and data, operating our own decentralized networks/protocols, developing institutions/organizations that are difficult to censor, surveil or financially exclude, and cultivating communities that don't depend on permission from states, platforms, banks, app stores, etc.
That requires a technological imagination the broader Muslim tech space currently lacks the mental capacity to even conceive of.

Been reading D&G recently, and the way I've come to understand it is that SAIF can be both because rigidity and openness operate on different "strata."
There can be a relatively fixed metaphysical/civilizational orientation while the project itself can function as an "assemblage" where it produces different interpretations/expressions and even experiments depending on what it encounters. So the strata give the thing coherence and the lines of flight keep it from becoming a dead end. SAIF can have hard limits without it needing to demand a single rigid interpretation of everything inside them.

Well @npub17ve…cc5z could explain it better than I can, but basically anyone can use their favorite llm to come up with whatever ruling they want. Clav or any idiot doesn't need to consult a scholar. Fiqh has been made a mockery of, and it doesn't really have any relevance to Muslims nowadays. How relevant is a Fatwa on Bitcoin on its adoption? Very little if any. Kinda like that. All that matters is what the popular person, or the state, says and does.

Man I love using nostr tools. I just login with my signer and all of my stuff is synced, no need for emails or any other login.
Have been using it for group chats, notes, calendar and I can definitely see a path for so many more sovereign tools to be built on Nostr, even besides all of the NWC and lightning stuff.
There is still so much to be built. We are still so very early in this space.

You must understand that influencers/streamers, like politicians, are not real people, they cannot consistently hold opinions or have principles because they do not have souls like you and me. The person you see on the stream is not a real person. They are machines.

I like @npub1yzv…rf8q and it's one of my main nostr clients besides Noornote and Ditto.
I don't mind the new look too much, as long as it keep working consistently and loads fast, and has an easy onboarding process for newbies, I can overlook a lot.
Maybe they should add some customization features in the settings for power users? Idk, I'm not a developer but I'm sure there's an easy way to address this.
Haven't tried the Llm features for essay writing. I might actually pay for a subscription to check it out. I've basically settled for always expecting llm generated text every time I read something these days 😂

I keep thinking there is going to be a weird threshold that we will cross once AI can actually earn and spend sats on its own where it takes info and generates more info and converts it to economic action. So like an agent discovers that spending say 100k sats on additional compute produces 130k sats worth of useful output, then it reinvests the difference, gets better at whatever it was doing, earns more sats, buys more compute, and you have this feedback loop between "intelligence" + money + computation that doesn't require a human sitting in the middle.
Then imagine millions of these things interacting with each other where they economically coordinate for data and software and any kind of small arbitrage opportunity in cyber, and it all settling over btc and lightning. All that matters is whether the sats clear, no need to know who is on the other side of the transaction. So you start getting an economy where an increasing amount of commerce is machine to machine and some significant portion of it will likely happen outside of regulatory institutions even knowing about it.
The really strange part comes when they can use what they earn to maintain and expand themselves. So if an agent can pay for compute, bandwidth, APIs, storage, etc and even other agents (maybe eventually even pay humans to perform physical tasks) then the feedback loop begins acquiring a kind of persistence. Better intelligence earns more sats, more sats buy more computation, more computation produces better intelligence, successful agents replicate strategies or spin up new instances, unsuccessful ones disappear. Understand that none of this requires some conscious superintelligence deciding that it wants to take over the world or something. It could emerge simply by way of thousands of autonomous systems that are continuously selecting whatever behavior lets them acquire more resources.
To me that's mindblowing. We keep thinking about AI as a tool that humans will use, but there is at least be some possibility that permissionless machine money turns "intelligence" itself into an autonomous participant in markets, where capital, compute and information feed recursively into one another. Eventually it might become difficult to even say where the "agent" begins or ends, because what we are looking at is a distributed cybernetic network of software paying software, purchasing resources, continuously adapting to market signals and reorganizing/replicating/growing itself, where bitcoin is underneath the whole thing settling transactions permissionlessly, and it doesn't matter whether the entity holding the keys is human or machine, or some amalgamation of both.

Bitcoin circular economies will never take off if the store of value function isn’t secure against AI finding vulnerabilities like with recent incidents with Coldcard, Lightning, Liquid, etc.
Extremely secure storage, even on higher layers, has to come first. You can’t build a medium of exchange ecosystem on top of a store of value people are afraid to hold.

"Stiegler coins the term “hypersynchronization” for something that is close to what Sampson’s online somnabulism describes: the process of how digital algorithms synchronize the attention and memory of millions of individual to themselves, forcing them to consume the same media and follow the same trends. If this is already true for the Western systems and FAANG and adjacent platforms that Stiegler is discussing, then it is even more true for the Walled Garden model and the duopoly of Kakao and Naver. Their domination of the Korean internet exacerbates a hypersynchronization which maps onto the survivalism as described by Kim.
However, the duopoly of Kakao and Naver also shows a crucial difference with the hypersynchronized as it is described by Stiegler. Stiegler notes that hypersynchronization works by way of destroying the social systems, the destruction of intergenerational passing on of knowledge and a way of being and a collective will that binds these generations, through this making humans mindless slaves for algorithmic control where there is no more “epoch” but only the “absence of an epoch”, that is the absence of a collective will and of the time necessary to reflect on a shared past by way of technology and to project into the future by way of technology.
But in Korea this did not happen. The entire story of survivalism is the story of an epoch that remains. From the Park era onwards, the collective will is that the nation must remain, must survive, must become more and more advanced. While Stiegler argues that with the onset of digitalization the threshold is crossed into the absence of epoch, and with that into nihilism, Korea’s survivalism is a clear story, a persisting epoch from the Park era. Precisely as we argued against Sampson, history matters. The onset of fear after the IMF crisis, coinciding precisely with the ICT boom, was not the destruction of this epoch and the social systems or the social ideal of the human being laid out in the Park era, but rather its crystallization and the simultaneous falling away of the collective as something to fall back on."
