Following someone isn’t an endorsement, and unfollowing someone isn’t a punishment. It’s just choosing what I want in my feed.

Something I want to make clear. I don’t care if you disagree with me politically, disagree with me about Israel, Bitcoin, Christianity, or believe some conspiracy theory I think is completely wrong. I’ll disagree with you. Sometimes strongly. That’s fine. I don’t need everyone I follow to think like me. I also don’t particularly enjoy arguing for the sake of arguing. And after a while, if someone’s feed is mostly racial stuff, Jewish conspiracy theories, personal attacks, or just constant contempt for people they disagree with, I may simply stop following or mute them. That’s not because my feelings are hurt. I’m just not interested in filling my feed with it. You are free to say whatever you want. I’m equally free to decide what I want to spend my time reading. We don’t have to agree to have a conversation. But I don’t owe anyone my attention.

I’ve been thinking about what it means to call Bitcoin “civilizational memory.” Bitcoin primarily remembers monetary history: transactions, ownership and the chain of proof-of-work that secures them. But occasionally I think there is value in using a tiny amount of that permanent record to remember something human. A name. A birth. A death. A wedding. A graduation. The founding of a business. Something that mattered enough to someone to say: remember this. That’s what I’m exploring with Continuum Memorials & Milestones. I’m not trying to turn Bitcoin into cloud storage. I’m not putting photos or large files on-chain. These are small, intentional OP_RETURN inscriptions, attached to valid transactions for which the required mining fee is paid. I understand that some Bitcoiners believe any non-monetary use of blockspace is inappropriate. I respect that view, even though I don’t share it. I don’t think a small number of deliberate, fee-paying inscriptions is an abuse of the network. If Bitcoin can serve as civilizational memory, I think there’s room in that memory for more than money. Sometimes what humanity chooses to remember is a person, a moment, or a life. #Bitcoin #OP_RETURN #CivilizationalMemory #Continuum

Let’s get rid of the „n“ word. Listen for the record I am not black and yeah a lot of young black guys use „niggah“ like we would say „ dude“ But I just don’t like the word sorry. To me it’s deeply disrespectful. If someone called me honky I would not get offended but that too is disrespectful just like calling a cop a „pig“ or a „Jew“ a „kike.“ Respect and kindness go a long way I think

And I don’t really care if some think I am a „Jew-lover“ for supporting Israel. For the record I am not Jewish. Yousefs story (another clip) Some will start to send me slurs and accuse me of being a „compromised“ Christian. One NPUB has another accused me of secretly carrying an Israeli passport. These clowns can believe whatever fairy tales they want to believe. Read Romans 11

One Palestinian story I think more people should know is Mosab Hassan Yousef, the “Son of Hamas.” His father was a founding Hamas leader. Mosab eventually rejected Hamas, worked with Israel’s Shin Bet, and became a Christian. What strikes me most about his story isn’t simply that he became pro-Israel. It’s that his experiences forced him to reconsider who he thought his enemies were — and his encounter with Jesus’ teaching to love your enemies became part of that journey. You don’t have to agree with everything he says to find his story worth hearing There are many interviews with him on YouTube as well.

I generally follow NPUBs that follow me however I am not obligated to follow an NPUB that is openly racist( whether against whites, asians, blacks or anyone particular ethnic group), anti-Semitic, or espouses extreme ideologies or religious viewpoints. That being said if you are thoughtful and respectful toward those you disagree with I will follow you if you treat me with I tend to be libertarian in my outlook and I make no apologies for my strong support of Israel. I am a strong Christian who believes in universal reconciliation. Finally I am a freedom maximalist which encompasses Bitcoin maximalism but is broader).

I know if I had 20k followers (all else being equal) just posting a picture of my morning coffee a simple “GM Nostr” or a shot of downtown San Francisco or some skin would get me lots of likes zaos and reposts Am I wrong ? C’mon people Let me know that I am not alone here.

Still would like to know if anyone of my 300+ followers thinks the Continuum Memorials and Milestones is a good idea or not. I am offering 21% discount if you pay directly in sats If you have any questions DM me or just reply to this note. Don’t be shy. I’d prefer comments and zaps to likes Thanks much!!

Sometimes silence is the strongest signal.

Lately I have not had much to say and I think that is ok.

Continuum isn’t only for memorials. Births. Weddings. Anniversaries. Foundings. Achievements. A short message permanently recorded on Bitcoin, with a link to independently verify it. $21 per inscription. Here’s the milestone version of the flyer. If you have something worth preserving—or know someone who does—DM me

Some things are worth remembering. Some are worth remembering forever. Continuum Memorials & Milestones Permanent inscriptions on Bitcoin. #Bitcoin #ContinuumMemorials

I've posted a couple of times about Continuum Memorials & Milestones, and I'm looking for candid feedback. The idea is simple: permanent memorial or milestone inscriptions anchored to Bitcoin rather than something that exists only as long as a website or social-media account does. I'm not looking for encouragement — I'm trying to determine whether this is something people would actually pay for. If you think it's valuable, tell me why. If you think it's pointless, tell me that too. Both are useful signals. And if you'd actually buy one for someone or something important to you, I'd especially like to hear from you. Here is the most recent one I did for my mom (Daphne Chun)

Continuum Memorials & Milestones

#Bitcoin #ContinuumMemorials #DigitalLegacy #Memorials

AI has made it remarkably easy to build software. It hasn't made software engineering obsolete. A founder can now go from an idea to a working application incredibly quickly. That's a tremendous development. But eventually that application encounters the real world. Architecture matters. Authentication gets complicated. APIs don't behave as expected. Data needs to be migrated. Deployments fail. Performance and security matter. Integrations break. And sometimes nobody is entirely sure what a rapidly generated codebase is actually doing. That's where experienced engineering becomes more valuable, not less. I'm a Principal Engineer and fractional CTO with deep hands-on experience across Java, Node.js/JavaScript, Python and C/C++, backend systems, APIs, databases, integrations, distributed systems and cloud infrastructure. I work with founders and teams at the point where a technical problem needs more than another prompt or another ticket: diagnosis, architecture, technical judgment and hands-on execution. That might mean rescuing a stalled project, taking an AI prototype to production, modernizing an existing system, solving a difficult integration, or providing ongoing technical leadership without the commitment of a full-time CTO. I'm opening up availability for a small number of consulting engagements. You built it fast. I can help make it work. DM me if you have something difficult that needs solving. #SoftwareEngineering #AI #PrincipalEngineer #FractionalCTO #Consulting

CONTINUUM MEMORIALS AND MILESTONES Permanent memorial and milestone inscriptions on Bitcoin Some moments deserve more than a place in a passing social-media feed. After the recent loss of Whiskers, our beloved dog of more than 16 years, I created my first permanent Bitcoin memorial inscription for him. I then created inscriptions honoring Champ, my father, James A. Stanton, and my mother, Daphne C. Chun. These inscriptions don’t replace an obituary, memorial page, photographs, or the stories we share. They do something different: each short message becomes part of Bitcoin’s public record. The inscription can be independently viewed and verified, and it does not depend upon my maintaining a website or social-media account. This can commemorate more than a life that has ended. It could mark a birth, wedding, anniversary, graduation, the opening of a new business, or any milestone you believe deserves a permanent inscription. For $21, you choose a short message—generally up to 80 characters—and I will permanently record it in a Bitcoin transaction. You’ll receive a simple link where the inscription can be viewed directly, along with the ability to verify the underlying transaction on Bitcoin. If there is a person, pet, occasion, or milestone you would like to commemorate, please message me. Here are some inscriptions I have created: WHISKERS May 4, 2010 - Sept. 5, 2026 FOREVER LOVED View the permanent inscription:
