Last Notes
No governance comes first because the only real tool people hold currently is potential virality in the digital sphere.
So therefore you build the government that is friendly to decentralization and cultivates and enhances local sovereignty.
In the age of AI, if living under a surveillance state, odds of success go down significantly. So yes agree you continue to build the structures anyway, but governance is the path to expediting the process.
Bottom line: moving power away from the center to the local
Really appreciate the kind words from someone I respect tremendously.
Will drop a long form video to really dive into the details.

Thank you 🙏🏻!! I am only attempting to draw a sketch instead of trying to make specific predictions.
All we know is that these are a variables, and whatever the case, structure of governance will be the fight.

"You don't only pay tax when you cash your Bitcoin back into the bank." That's one of the biggest misconceptions this panel clears up, as Shukry Haleemdeen, a chartered management accountant and crypto tax specialist, walks through what UK Bitcoin holders actually need to know.
UK Focus — Tax & Regulatory Landscape, Strategies in Savings, Donations & Charity Organisations
Hosted by Hasnain Dhalla, with Shukry Haleemdeen, founder of My Crypto Tax, who has worked in crypto tax since 2014.
Shukry explains how your tax depends on what you do with your Bitcoin, from capital gains for most holders to income tax for mining and staking and corporation tax for companies, and which moves count as a taxable event. He covers what HMRC can already see, including the new Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework, and the rule changes he expects in 2027.
The panel then turns to the community: how businesses can accept Bitcoin, and why mosques and charities, which don't pay capital gains tax, have a real opportunity to accept Bitcoin donations, including zakat, as long as they take security and record-keeping seriously.

Riba-Free Asymmetry in Business Shares
1. Price-Differential: operation may have better control / benefit and pay a higher cost per share.
2. Sweat Equity: intellectual property or forgoing of salary can yield cheaper shares.
3. Salary: share prices can be the same, or different, but operator earns fees.

Changes in the Nostr, GrapheneOS and Linux simulators:
- The same next-step hints, smarter “Go” button and mission bar, with hints written for every step.
- The toast fix, so links inside toasts will always work.
- The GrapheneOS phone and the Linux laptop stay pinned on screen while you scroll the steps. For GrapheneOS this only happens on screens tall enough to fit the whole phone.
- A small fix in Linux: the laptop drawing made phone screens scroll sideways by a few pixels.
Latest updates to the Sats Simulator Bitcoin learning game:
Some minor bugs have been fixed and features have been added in Sats Simulator. The shared improvements have been been added to all four simulators.
Sats Simulator fixes:
1. “Watch it” link: it now opens the mempool. The swipe-to-dismiss on toasts was swallowing clicks on links inside them.
2. “What do I do next?”: every mission step now has a short hint saying where and how to do it.
- “Go” (shown as “Continue” once a mission is started) takes you to the screen for your next step, and opens the right tab.
- A slim bar at the top of that screen shows the mission, the step and the hint, with a “Take me there” button when you’re elsewhere and an × to hide it.
- For Fees and the mempool, it now opens the phone wallet and says to send with the Slow fee.
3. Flip coins to make a seed:
- “Use my words” now stays visible after the seed is finished, so you don’t need Start over.
- New Heads (1) and Tails (0) buttons let people enter real coin flips. A note says to only do this for a real seed on an offline device.
4. “Your coins” step completes as soon as you open the tab (bug): opening the tab no longer completes the step. The step is now “Combine small coins when fees are low” and completes when you actually combine.
- If you have fewer than two coins, a “Receive three small tips” button gives you some to combine.
5. Combining coins says “when fees are low”, but they aren’t: there’s a new Quiet period button (on the coins card, in the mempool and in facilitator settings). Miners clear the backlog and fees stay at 1–2 sat/vB for a few blocks, so a cheap combine confirms in the next block. When fees are busy, the coins card says so and points to it.
6. Hardware wallet device scrolls out of view (layout): the device stays pinned on screen while you scroll Sats Desktop on laptop and desktop screens. On phones it stays stacked above as before.
7. Multisig spend summary only shows the start and end of the address: the spend shows the full address in the message and in the payment, in 4-character chunks, with a reminder to check every chunk on each device.
8. Running out of Lightning sats (feature): you can now add sats to your side of an open channel without closing it (a “splice-in”).
- From the phone wallet: +25,000, +50,000 or +100,000 in the Lightning section.
- From the hardware wallet: a new card 5 in Sats Desktop, signed on the device.
- The sats join your side after one confirmation, and the “Not enough outbound liquidity” message now has a “Top up my channel” button.

Agreed. Back button needs to go, or at least placed somewhere else. It also gets in the way when I'm writing article.

@npub175n…g6w0 we need to fix this back button in NoorNote. there are a few places i've found where it is blocking buttons at the bottom of a page. this image is on the Article creation menu (another bug in Articles is that if you select the preview tab you can no longer open the details dropdown).
"Bitcoin's going to free Palestine."
That's the line that got Maher Janajri into Bitcoin back in 2013. On this panel we got into what that actually looks like on the ground.
Getting money into Gaza when banks can't. Escaping the shekel in the West Bank. Circular Bitcoin economies in Africa, and what the ummah can learn from them.

i wouldn't disagree. though i think akhlaq is closer to "moral conduct" than ethics which i would place as a high metaphysical science.
fiqh is about right and wrong. ethics and about what isngood and what is not. i'll give an example: on this Isra & Miraj, Jabriel offered RasulAllah wine, water, milk and in some narrations also honey. fiqh does not tell you which is the good among these as all were halal at this time (the prohibition on alcohol was not until after the hijra). this kind of choice is the realm of ethics.
do both subscription plans open access to the mobile app? very excited about this but didn't realize i needed to get off the free plan to enable mobile.
sabr, shukr, tawakkul, and freedom from debt and riba, let's go

I noticed that a lot of debate conversation tries to establish legitimacy based on some historical evidence or story rather than imagining and creating the present and future now and newly. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
fiat banks will be hit first. not even 2FA on most accounts.
we have 2 Harith POVs now. and this one has our first bit of action.
as always, feedback is appreciated.

AI is simply a writing tool. i think it is important to embrace the tools of the age just like generations before us did with the pencil or the typewriter.
Not the keynote you'd expect at a Bitcoin summit, and one of the ones we were asked about most.
@npub1rn0…7xpe , former Global Head of Islamic Structuring at J.P. Morgan, on why Islamic finance went wrong, and how Muslims can re-architect the financial system, and civilisation, from first principles.
Bitcoin is part of the conversation, but not the whole answer.
"If you don't have a philosophy of capital, the market will push it onto you."

What if Iblis wants to live forever and end up teaching Islam to people so God keeps delaying the Last Day ☠️
"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."

The AGA chipset increased the palette, allowing up to 255 colours on-screen. I remember playing Alien Breed 3D, Banshee, and Shadow Fighter. I also remember playing the AGA-enhanced versions of Simon the Sorcerer, Chaos Engine, Street fighter turbo and Zool. 😊
Great summary of the conference! So my “top down” recommendation is actually a Trojan horse for decentralized power.
In other words, we know centralized citadels are coming, so you use the only power you currently possess, which is virality to create the new structures that lead to decentralized power.
Top down first, bottom up after.
next chapter drops this weekend. it was written in July and i finally found a moment to tiddy it up.

@npub175n…g6w0 Scheduled posting on NoorNote would be really cool, not sure if it's achievable?
ironically, AI is going to force a whole lot of tech to go open source

without monetary inflation via credit creation, it becomes much easier to see what regulations and policies benefit vs harm the market - good policies see cost of living, and production fall, and people's lives get easier, simple as that
you don't need to push immigration too hard only to shut it down just as fast, harming people on every turn, heck you don't even need to spend that much collecting stats and census and identity information everywhere
we have antitrust laws and enable the biggest antitrust play right alongside it, supporting credit creation and sacrificing the future in favor of the present and call it efficiency and maximizing idle cash - well if we weren't inflating with credit creation, it really wouldn't be idle cash would it?
#nevent1q…tjs2
free market means bad actors too though, many will claim, especially the bad actors lol - I'd say the market will always exist and participants can make it more or less efficient and we're nowhere near max efficiency
I was a fiat junkie till just last year. I'm turning a new leaf; it is ego death.
