I liked this one. Especially the point Mauricio made at the end about people needing to own assets before they care about property rights. Making the “You'll own nothing and you'll be happy” phrase from the WEF 2016 essay sound even more diabolical.

I know there are already quite a few task lists out there. But I felt there was a need for a simple and secure task list. A task list that protects my data. That's why I built Tasksafe. A safe for your tasks. Only you have access to your tasks. We only see encrypted data.

TaskSafe - Encrypted Task Management

A simple, secure task management app with end-to-end encryption. Your tasks, your privacy.

The task list is simple and easy to understand. Priorities and tags help you organize your tasks. The task list focuses on personal task management. Sharing tasks with other people is not currently possible. Tasksafe currently runs in your browser. This means that there is no native app yet. Maybe some of you will enjoy it too. I would appreciate your feedback.

I really enjoyed the conversation. And I also very much like the book so far. I've been in the bitcoin space for quite some time now. And I'm always looking for easy-to-understand content for my normie friends. This book hits the nail on it’s head. Thank you very much 🙏🏼 https://fountain.fm/episode/jFyczMyTM95QlwSD85fK View quoted note →

I don't know if any of you were around when Doodle first started. Sometimes I miss the very simple appointment poll. That's why I vibe coded it. Feedback is very welcome! (It is in beta stage.)

Many thanks to @Samson Mow , @UNCLE ROCKSTAR , @Boltz - Non-Custodial Bitcoin Bridge team, the @BTCPay Server team and the @Umbrel ☂️ team. You are doing incredible work here. It's slow, maybe because of my local @Umbrel ☂️ server on a Raspberry Pi , but it works. 👏

I wanted an easy way to track my drinking habits, so I thought I could vibe code a web app myself. Then I thought that maybe other people would like to use this app too, so I published it. Whether it's water, coffee, or alcoholic beverages, the app can be configured flexibly. It is available at

I have already supported many of my friends in setting up their self-custody Bitcoin. It was often difficult to explain what the 12/24 words are and, above all, what options there are for storing them. I always felt like an alien trying to explain to a human how a UFO works. Now, for the first time, I have helped a colleague to set up her Bitcoin self-custody with a Bitkey. So yesterday I handed her a Bitkey and watched her set it up. It was eye-opening. Such a simple and well-thought-out process. I think I will continue to onboard bitcoin newbies with Bitkey's. She immediately lost her beads of sweat on her forehead when I told her there was an option where she didn't have to hide words. And also, she was able to add me as a recovery contact in case of an emergency, which was extremely reassuring to her and to me as well. I understand the drawbacks that exist with Bitkey (privacy, vendor lock-in, etc.), but you can't imagine how easy and straightforward this worked. Very satisfying! Well done @Bitkey. Who has also had this experience?

One of the most important issues in Bitcoin is miner centralization!
