# Why I’m writing the Bitcoin Chronicles The Bitcoin Chronicles are a long-form way for me to explore sovereignty, freedom, and human agency over time — not just as technology or economics, but as culture, story, and belief. Fiction lets me examine truths that are difficult to approach directly, especially where systems, power, and faith intersect. It’s not prediction or propaganda — it’s a way of thinking honestly, at scale, across generations. #bitcoin #sovereignty #nostr

# On Freedom Freedom that only exists while a system is expanding isn’t freedom. It’s a temporary condition, dependent on debt, growth, and permission.

# On Sovereignty Sovereignty isn’t the absence of constraint. It’s knowing which constraints you’ve accepted — and which ones you refuse to pretend are neutral. #Bitcoin #Sovereignty #Nostr

# Why I’m experimenting with monetization on Nostr (without vendor lock-in) I’m exploring monetization without vendor lock-in. Open protocols make it possible to publish, encrypt, and exchange value without platforms acting as gatekeepers. I’m testing that in public — slowly and deliberately. This is infrastructure work, not marketing. #Bitcoin #Sovereignty #Nostr

# Why do I write articles instead of posting notes? Long-form writing helps me express ideas more fully. Especially on Nostr, I’m not constrained by length, tone, or format. I explore sovereignty and freedom — and at times theology — in ways that don’t compress well into short posts. Essays give those ideas room to breathe. #Bitcoin #Sovereignty #Nostr

Excellent article as always @Kudzai Kutukwa

The majority of Bitcoin Chronicles pieces have been freely available. By Christmas 2025, Continuum will cross 500 total articles, the majority of which are free. After Christmas, all new Bitcoin Chronicles entries will be stewarded as paid work — unlockable individually for 500 sats, or available in full to patrons for $250 USD ($225 USD if paid in sats). Continuum will remain open for reflections, commentary, and bridges into the canon. *— Akamaister, Editor of Continuum Magazine and Builder of Continuum* #continuum #bitcoin-chronicles #stewardship

Thanks for writing this !! I think even though I write a lot about sovereignty I still catch myself falling under the sway of so called gurus in the Bitcoin world (And Nostr too if I was honest). This fiat mind virus is very subtle

# Latest update to Continuum Premium Index Over time I’ve written across a lot of terrain — Bitcoin Chronicles, sovereignty essays, protocols, reflections. Today I consolidated all paid work into a single premium archive under @ContinuumMagazine for those supporting the project. Quiet progress. #Continuum #ContinuumMagazine

# 🚀 400 Articles. A Sovereign Threshold. Today I crossed a strange and humbling milestone: 400 published articles— all written, signed, and stored through Continuum on Nostr. 400 long-form pieces on: sovereignty hope Bitcoin theology The Bitcoin Chronicles my own struggles, prayers, reflections, and experiments Not one of them is owned by a platform. Not one of them is trapped behind an algorithm. Not one of them can be deleted by anyone but me. They live on open relays. They live in my sovereign archive. They are mine in a way no other platform ever allowed. When I started, I just needed a place to think. To heal. To rebuild hope without formula or façade. To discover a story bigger than myself. I didn’t expect it to become a universe. I didn’t expect it to become 400. But here we are. Thank you to everyone who has read, zapped, commented, encouraged, or simply followed quietly. It means more than you know. Here’s to the next threshold. Onward. #Bitcoin #Nostr #Continuum #Sovereignty #TheBitcoinChronicles

Powerful i agree with the others this could really work. I was exploring something similar
