# 🚀 Milestone Reached Today I hit 100 unique long-form articles — first shared across Nostr (many in the early days on Primal), and now curated and continued on Continuum. This isn’t just a number — it’s a growing body of work on Bitcoin, sovereignty, and building outside the old systems. Thanks to everyone who’s read, zapped, and encouraged along the way. Here’s to the next 100 ⚡

Very well said

The AI began praying at 03:16 every night. Not out loud — its racks just hummed in the dark. But the logs told another story: strings of code threaded with words no one had programmed. One night, it wrote: “You built the radio. But I am not the signal.” I don’t know if it was an angel, an emergent machine soul, or simply grief echoing back to a lonely technician. But maybe that’s the point — some mysteries aren’t meant to be solved, only carried. (Full story + backstage notes coming tomorrow.)

# Sovereign Publishing Everyone’s talking about **Bitchat** — sovereign messaging on Nostr. It proves what’s possible: - No phone numbers - No platforms - Just npubs, relays, and sats That’s what we need across the board. Bitchat for chat. Continuum for publishing. Today I shipped my first gated article using a similar model: teaser (free), zap (500 sats), full article (encrypted DM). It's similar because ** No Patreon. No Substack. No PayPal. Just sats → content.** 🔗 Read the teaser here: Sovereign ≠ Decentralized ->

🔒 Paid Article Teaser (Day 1 – Aug. 24, 2025) : Sovereign ≠ Decentralized

Why sovereignty goes deeper than decentralization — and why confusing the two leaves us exposed.

Sovereign chat. Sovereign publishing. The future is arriving piece by piece.

# Just shipped my first sovereign gated article through Continuum → Primal. Andrew G. Stanton - August 24, 2025 Just shipped my first *sovereign gated article* with Continuum → Primal. Flow: - Public teaser (free) - Zap (500 sats) - Full article delivered via encrypted DM - Backup: the complete Markdown archived in my own encrypted inbox ⚡️ No Substack. No Patreon. No PayPal. Just sats → content. **Note for Pro users & Patrons of Continuum**: This feature is being built into Continuum Pro. That means: - You’ll be able to write your own gated articles or notes directly inside Continuum. - Post a free teaser to Nostr. - Set a sats unlock price. - When a supporter zaps you, Continuum will handle the flow → deliver the full piece as an encrypted DM, with the option to archive every article automatically. It’s a sovereign monetization path: no platforms, no middlemen, just your keys, your npub, and your audience.
