Some thoughts on @nprofile…tkhj's approach to socials.
I saw one of his X posts yesterday. It had hundreds of likes amd reposts. But he didn't even write it.
The tweet was a soundbite composed and published by his custom AI. It's designed to engage the 300k humans of X that follow him while he spends time on Nostr (where he wants to invest energy).
Part of me thinks this is smart. It's a win-win. X gets retweetable soundbites true to Jeff's vision, and Nostr gets pure Booth energy!
I can't help thinking that this only works for those who have already built a big position (300k followers) amd want to syphon the value into the new digital economy. It's like Saylor's strategy to transfer fiat's energy into bitcoin.
This act also fortells how legacy socials will die. Bots will post, and eventually, only bots will read.
But humans will always need a place to congregate, a place to spend their energy.
We will do it in the places that offer real value, i.e. networks which aren't owned by tech billionaires and Mag7 corporations.
Everyone on Nostr is moving to #nostronly, even if they don't know it yet.

WHERE ARE ALL THE NOSTR AUTHORS?
Konsensus Network is open to help leaders and coaches in the freedom space to get their proof of work out into the world.
This is a fast, agile team who knows the bitcoin and self-sovereignty space well and can help you spread the word about your book.
I'd love to see more titles about freedom maximalism, personal security, privacy, physical health and fitness, faith and spirituality. Let's get to work nostriches.
Books build leading profiles.
If you know a nostrich working on a book, tag them in the comments, or send me a DM.
See @nprofile…xqwz 's post below.
***
"These authors came to us with 2 questions:
1. How do I get my book produced and out into the world?
2. How can I compete with the millions of other book releases?
We launched our decentralized publishing system to ensure writers in the freedom space can share their ideas with minimal stress and maximum impact.
It can take years to learn everything yourself – typesetting, cover design, book marketing. And if you hire specialist freelancers, you'll likely pay a high cost to self-publish.
At Konsensus Network, we work with a pool of talented editors, typesetters, and designers who deliver high-quality work at reasonable rates. You keep ALL the rights and royalties!
Like us, they care about personal sovereignty, privacy tech, and freedom. Our agile project management allows us to get your work from manuscript to storefront in around 3 months.
Plus, our network of freedom-loving book buyers, media outlets, podcasts and socials allows us to spread the word about your book.
Unlike many hybrid publishers, we have a vested interest in your success.
If your book falls into the right category, we can solve these two headaches for you.
You book could generate new income streams, partnerships, invitations to speak at events, or more opportunities in the freedom space.
Got a project you want to talk about?
Send me a DM.

Unpopular opinion:
Gen-AI is destroying the quality of our creative work.
When AI is increasingly used for creative work, people begin to focus only on the output.
"Look what I can make! It only took me 12 minutes!!!"
But...
The beauty of art lies in the process.
It is this process thst allows the viewer, reader, or listener to interpret the message and build meaning for themselves.
Although I can still use my own process to create art, it's harder to justify spending time on it. I imagine the next generstion won't invest time in creativity at all. They will become calculating curators at best.
It takes years of toil to learn how to insert meaning between the words, between the lines. That is somethin AI can never do.
But, due to their high time-preference mindsets, people fail to see the value in work which may offer a greater ROI, but take longer to get there.
We have become blinded by the false promise of infinite productivity.

Two questions:
1. Do you run a bitcoin native company in the same sector as any of these brands?
Culture, payments, education, workspace, funding, PoS, encrypted chat, market info, publishing, consultancy, news, hardware wallets, mining, social apps, compliance.
(I've worked with all these companies this year)
2. Do you need to boost your profile, generate conversations, and find new investors and partners?
If the answer to both questions is yes, here is a third. Are you willing to back yourself and create a strategy to build success through deep takes, industry publications, and human-centred stories?
Yes?

Chapter 7 — Write. Edit. Submit. Repeat.
https://image.nostr.build/1ff14a0a8965bf059d43e4870590d6222db92a15d205825952232bcf517e597e.png
This became my mantra. Story after story.
I never kept a writing schedule, but I’d say I put in 10-20 hours a week most weeks.
I would write on the go, in a coffee shop, libraries, at my tiny desk, at work, in bed.
Over the course of two years, I wrote probably 50 stories and published 20. Each story HAD to be different in theme, main character, genre, form, style. It was as if I needed to prove I could write with variety. And it wasn’t that my prose was looking for its natural home. Sure, I’m better at some genres than others, but all that matters is that I cover more ground.
I discovered how Litmags work:
They are generally run at a loss by passionate writers. Eventually, all of them fold, and you find few readers. Still, they do fantastic work giving writers a platform and helping share challenging stories.
In my experience, it’s all about fit and timing. If you want to get your story published, submit it to a magazine that perfectly matches the genre, ethos and style of your work. Most will pay a token amount (if anything). It’s also good to find magazines with editors who care about making your work better, and to find them before other authors mail in 50,000 submissions! Use platforms like Chill Subs or The Submissions Grinder to find outlets.
The other route to payment and publication as a short story writer is competitions.
These are ‘pay to enter’ opportunities which are judged by industry professionals, Litmag editors and often other writers.
It’s crucial to adhere to the rules, read previous winners’ work, understand the judging criteria and who the judges are. My tip is to save stories until the PERFECT competition arrives. I’ve won a couple of competitions and been runner up or shortlisted in a dozen or so. I learnt to search for emerging competitions and not to get lured in by the big prize money opportunities.
My biggest payment was 250 pounds for a competition on the theme of ‘dark-wild sea’. I already had the story written, and the judge agreed it fitted perfectly in the anthology.
Through all of my successes (and my many failures), I learned that established writers can easily judge the authority of other writers. They read your stories. They know the editors of certain magazines. They hang out in the same forums and attend the same workshops.
But newer writers and non-writers have no frame of reference other than a book. If you introduce yourself as a fiction writer but you don’t have a book, that doesn’t make a lot of sense.
And so, as my work moved towards helping English learners with their writing, I decided it was time to get some writing authority. At the end of 2018, I published my first book.

Real talk - How do you stay positive as a bitcoiner?
Within 4 years of understanding bitcoin, I've gone from dipping my toe in the water to full-on rabid maxi with 0 fiat who lives, breathes, and works in bitcoin.
I would also eat it if I could (but I prefer crisps).
However, my low time preference and my knowledge of the impending soverign debt crisis leads me to feel down on a daily basis.
I'm not dedicating my life to this to get rich. Hell, I don't even really want to buy anything (apart from crisps).
When the monetary crisis ramps up, people won't thank me. They will think I'm a smug asshole because I waxed lyrical about bitcoin.
I'm not sure I'll live to see the world prospering on a bitcoin standard.
And most days, I dedicate my hours to writing into the void.
This is perhaps why I, like many bitcoiners, enjoy the echo chamber a little too much.
Still, I'm interested to know.
What keeps you grounded and positive?

Spoke to a friend of mine who is a professional comedian.
Tried to get him on Nostr and failed miserably.
As well as touring, he makes 'jokes on the street' videos which get millions of views on TikTok, Facebook etc. He probably makes a little money from the videos, but it's not his main income.
I mentioned that we need more non-bitcoin content and that his videos would be well received. Lots of people would tip him directly with Bitcoin.
"I don't have any bitcoin," he said.
"You don't need any. Download Primal, and it comes with a wallet. Start posting and getting zaps right away."
Silence.
He is not dumb. He knows social media is exploitative and algorithms are an awful game to play. He knows the pound is fucked.
But this shows how hard it is to fight the systems that have their hooks so deep into us.
What's a better way to purple-pill him?

Need to write 100+ dad jokes about bitcoin for a client.
One liners / jokes, rather than memes.
Please share your best and allow me to steal. 😄
I will zap the my top ten jokes 210 sats (and will credit you).

A few pics from the Trezor TBD event in Prague today.
No BREAKING NEWS announcements from me. I'll be providing a full write up in the next few days.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Built a little website this week (not my core skill).
Projects like this absolutely fall under 'writing avoidance', but I get so much energy from them.
People with fiat jobs arrive home after an exhausting commute to Uber Eats and 4 hours of Netflix.
I stay up past my bedtime making this.
Here's to building Madeira 2.0.

Freemium services have ruined us.
Fiat's 'buy now pay later' philosophy has hacked our value perception, and it incentivizes us to make poor, short-term choices. We accept services that don't hit the mark because they are free.
We trade low functionality for zero investment.
We trade our time for advertisement minutes.
We trade our freedom for Big Tech's digital panopticon.
I do it too.
The answer (as usual) is FOSS.
Encryption and sound money help us realign incentives with reality.
And when we offer our time or work for free, it cannot be 'freemium'.
We can only trust those who are up front and say 'I expect nothing from this.'
I've been pondering this subject as I shifted from coaching (selling via the freemium model) to writing for money.
My energy is not invested into creating taster courses or useful writing tips.
I run the Gran Canaria Bitcoin community and help friends set up self-custody.
Going all in on bitcoin makes you honest about your time, effort and money.
And it feels great.

Yes, he quoted the good ol' 'tulip mania' phrase too. Ha ha.
The irony is that people (like myself), who were ignorant of how finance works can get it, whereas trad-fi careerists will deny the need/functionality/value of Bitcoin until their dying breath.
It's like a cab driver in 1920 denying the legitimacy of the motor car. "I've devoted my life to riding horses, and I tell you these damn contraptions will never work."

Coffee with a friend of mine yesterday.
He's an ex-banker. Retired.
Writing a book about his life.
We got onto the topic of Vietnam's de-banking and CBDCs.
...he wasn't really engaged.
"Cash is going away," he said, shrugging his shoulders.
"Do you care about the Digital Euro?" I asked. "Programmable money is the biggest danger to our freedom."
He didn't even know what the Digital Euro is.
He's not a stupid guy.
He just has no reason to care (until it's too late).
He played the fiat game and won.
He's not looking for reasons his perfect world will crumble.
We get so het up about Chat Control and Core vs Knots, but we forget most people, even bankers, don't know what money is.
Fiat slaves are too busy hustling.
Fiat Barrons are too blazé to care.
The fate of money will be decided by the few who choose to stand and fight.
That's US, nostr.
That's us.

Update. Restarted the node sync.
Maybe it'll be running before the 2028 halving 🤞🤞🤞.

2025-09-24 21:13:13 UTC

95.5% synced.
4 days to wait based on current speed.
The rage I have felt trying to get this node up and running tells me I made a good decision in 2018 to leave the world of PCs and stick to Chromebooks.
Laugh all you want, I haven't had a single problem with software, and only one camera breakage.
How should I celebrate if this fucker ever reaches 100%?

Yes. It's a problem with the hardware and running StartOS.

2025-09-23 14:21:04 UTC

Setting up a node has been pure pain so far.
It is still not synced after 2 weeks.
About 12 hours fiddling.
Constant checking.
2 friends helping.
$230 on parts.
Adapters borrowed.
Waste of time so far.
Yes, I've probably bought the wrong stuff, used the wrong OS, got slow Internet etc, but it should NOT be this hard.
I'm ready to throw the thing out the fucking window.
Whoever said it is cheap or easy to run a node is already an experienced programmer, or has expensive computers lying around.

A short hike in the west of Gran Canaria yesterday.

I may be able to get the adaptor from a friend 🤞.
Who can guess what the next roadblock will be?

2025-09-13 21:52:17 UTC

Node set up so far.
Research which (cheaper) machine to buy.
Borrow keyboard and cables from friend.
Wait 1 month for computer to be delivered.
Get distracted by Core vs Knots debate.
Learn how to side load apps on a Chromebook.
Spend 1 hour getting StartOS to flash onto USB from a Chromebook (much harder than you think).
Struggle with insanely tight screws to open computer and add hard disk (30 mins).
Plug in ethernet, power and HDMI cables to begin setup.
Discover the computer does not have an HDMI port. No way to connect a screen.
Need to find a Display to HDMI adapter in a town woth few computer shops, no niche items, and a 1 month delivery window.
Kill me now.
