One Bitcoiner has just onboarded15 new businesses in his local town (in his spare time). How? A few things but, a key component was getting comfortable leaving things undone, focusing on needle-moving actions and getting better at identifying what those needle-moving actions were (and then taking them)! You can do this too. accebli

A short story about how one Bitcoiner leaning into discomfort rather than running from it, changed the world in a small way for the better, while advancing Bitcoin and his business at the same time.

You are capable of doing much more for Bitcoin than you can probably imagine. ... and here's the proof!

If you are considering doing something for Bitcoin, but you think you don't have the skills to do it .... GOOD! That's the reason why you should do it. Here's why.

It saddens me when people who experience imposter syndrome dont continue with their projects ... especially when they are cool Bitcoin projects. This mindset shift I've found has helped a lot of Bitcoiners who were experiencing doubt to push through it

Yet to find a single Bitcoiner who has not noticed this same effect. One of the biggest environmental benefits of Bitcoin is how it reduces overconsumption.

3 things are important when you're building a Bitcoin mission! The technical and business side is what gets the attention, but the third element, at least equally important, tends to be get neglected.

It is my duty to remind you that Bitcion will use all the world's power by 2020.

The unexpected advice: A decade ago, I invested a lot in getting my own coach - which one decade later has proven to be the first= best investment I'd ever made. You know what the other one is! I'd run and exited a tech company and had discovered that my passion for for helping people as a coach myself, and had already started coaching a number of CEOs of other tech companies. When I started with my coach, I thought we'd be spending a lot of time on strategy and tactics, new ways to reach new clients etc. Apart from 3-4 sessions, in three years we did almost none of that! Instead he had a radical idea: focus on making me a great coach! By doing that, something funny happened, my coaching business doubled in size during the time I was receiving coaching from him. It was obvious in hindsight. Yet how often do we forgo the obvious and go for the result we want. It's the old adage "everyone wants to be able to say 'I climbed Everest' but no-one wants to put in the work to become the person who can climb Everest. Similarly so many people want to run a successful company, but few put in the effort to become the leader who can run a successful company. Yes, being able to convey the value of what you do is important. That is the multiplier But having something of immense value - be it a product or service comes first. Otherwise you are multiplying a small number. These days, even when I'm helping clients win pitches, the process of pitch coaching usually ends up pointing to gaps in the tech-CEOs offering/product/partnerships that need to be address. I always ask the question "What is the pitch you'd like to be able to give that isn't true yet" - then we reverse-engineer by picking up the things that are not true yet, and see how we can make them happen. The best way to generate more clients is to first become a better coach. And the best way to win a pitch is starts with building something worth pitching.

The first lever that autocratic regimes pull to stop activists fighting for democracy is to sever their access to finance, freeze bank accounts, and track down all those who donated to their cause. For the first time in human history, these human rights activists have a tool do defend themselves against this attack, so they can continue their fight for democracy. This tool is called Bitcoin.

Don't know how this happened so fast, but suddenly I've coached 35 Bitcoiners! I'm a bit overwhelmed by how much they've advanced Bitcoin since. Between them, they've started Nasdaq companies, secured funding (including Ego Death, Tim Draper),scaled mining businesses 10x, and shifted Bitcoin policy measurably across three continents. They did this not (only) because I'm a good coach, but also because Bitcoiners are amazing people and something phenomenal happens when they work as a peer network.  And that made me realize something Despite Bitcoin being superior in every dimension to fiat, it is not certain that Bitcoin will win. Whether it's technology or sports, history is full of examples where the better team came second. In sport, it is often the best coached team is often the winningest team. And like sport, coaching is for those who are already performing well, but want to win on the global stage. My vision is that Bitcoin becomes the best coached team in any industry, any sector, any digital asset in the world by far, and as a result grows faster than any opponents can hold it down. If you'd like to "be the change" by experiencing high-performance coaching in a high-trust group of your Bitcoin peers, or even chat about whether this is a potential fit - reach out.

Breathwork and Bitcoin are a recommended pairing ! Here's why. One of my clients flew to Costa Rica for three days of one-on-one coaching. He had a list of plans to work through, but my intuition said "Nah. We're doing SKY breathing training." After the breathwork in 30 mins he found all the answers to his year planning. The breathwork didn't give him new information - it removed the noise blocking his intuitive wisdom On our debrief call he said five incredible things: 1. "My perceptions with other people are heightened" 2. "It's like everything has a new color in the world" 3. "It's like I'm trying to understand my new superpower" 4. "My meditations are deeper, and I go in faster" 5. "People keep saying 'aren't you tired after all the flights' - but I'm really energized" Here's what Bitcoin and breathwork have in common: - Bitcoin and breathwork both fix the base layer - Both use energy to create something super-resilient - Both reward low-time-preference and give back 10x-100x over time - you can't judge it from the outside, you have to experience it to know it And in each case ... there is no second best! I'm running an introductory session this Friday 7pm PDT. Leave a comment, or DM if you're keen to experience it

I've turned Claude into a BEAST ! 🤣 The biggest problem with all AI and LLMs is it tells you what you want to hear, and is optimized for the most pleasing response by default. Aside from using Claude as a glorified EA, that's often useless, and in many cases dangerous. Claude now challenges me, bosses me around, holds me to account, names unproductive patterns of behavior, brings critical-path activities to my attention that are blocking other work and proactively tells me if I'm focusing on a low value activity relative to my stated goals. As a result it is 3x more useful and 10x less dangerous!

In The Netherlands there is a a limit of €3000 for cash purchases on goods. There is no spending limit on Bitcoin.

Nostr is the only mirror that doesn't tell you what shape to be. Have we been missing the killer-app of Nostr? Only a few people care about the benefits of decentralization because only a few have done enough research to know the perils of centralization. There is an angle that may resonate with a lot of people though. You may have noticed I'm posting a lot more on Nostr now. Why? It had nothing to do with decentralization (although I care about that). But I care even more about people able to live and speak in a free and authentic way without suppression. When you have an algorithm that suppresses what you say if its outside a narrow swimlane of "what this platform decides you should be speaking about" by a factor of 10x, ie: only 10% of the people who could have seen it do, that is an effective 90%-freedom of speech ban. It's also encouraging you to form an identity of a one-dimensional voice, not encouraging the inherent multidimensionality of the human spirit. I want to be free to express myself on any subject. Twitter and LinkedIn say "sure, we wont ban you from that ... we'll just turn down the volume knob from 10 to 1 so only a handful of people can hear you." Nostr is literally the only platform that doesn't adjust the volume setting, so you can express and explore multitudes of your infinite nature, knowing that you'll get a true signal. You know what the highest engagement I got on a post on Nostr in the last 4 weeks was ? - one on why bitcoin is like meditation. That proves that people want original cross-over content that doesn't fit within a swimlane an algorithm has pre-decided you should be talking about. As a test I put the exact same post on L/I and X. You guessed it. Crickets! Its really important that if you want to be someone who expresses themselves freely on many topics, you practice doing that regularly. Nostr is literally fostering the development of more multidimensionality. X and L/I is giving you a chance to practice being one-dimension. And as my friend Aristotle once said "we become what we habitually do." Nostr is not just freedom-tech, it is identity-tech.

Nostr only post: The AI job creation no one is talking about "In partial darkness, a rope becomes indistinguishable from a snake." - Vedic aphorism LinkedIn published data in January showing AI has already created 1.3 million new roles in two years (source: https://www.weforum.org/stories/2026/01/ai-has-already-added-1-3-million-new-jobs-according-to-linkedin-data/ ). So the "AI will create jobs" argument is settled. It will. What's not settled is what kinds of jobs. Most people are imagining more engineers, more data scientists, more prompt writers. Bigger versions of the same boxes. The more interesting jobs are the ones that don't have names yet. The ones that exist because AI is reaching out and grabbing everything it can, in partial darkness, and someone needs to check whether what it's picking up is rope or snakes. I'll explain what I mean. I currently use AI to do the work of about 15 different functions. EA, project manager, editor, research analyst, product architect, social media strategy, content, coaching, IP management, accountability, among others. I've lost count of the exact number, which is sort of the point. The result? I've created more human roles, not fewer (the first: a business growth coordinator). I didn't expect that. I assumed it would be an efficiency tool, that I'd do the same things, just faster. Instead, because the overhead disappeared, I could see opportunities for people that I couldn't see before. I've already created a new role and increased someone's hours. The new role exists because AI freed up enough bandwidth for me to notice it was needed. Jensen Huang said you're only making people redundant if you lack imagination. source:

Jensen Huang says CEOs ‘out of imagination’ for culling workers because of AI. Why he’s doubting his biggest customers

Of course, an AI chip manufacturing company would say that, but I believe he's 100% right because it matched what I was experiencing. The companies cutting headcount with AI are telling you something about themselves They don't know what to do with their people when the busy work goes away. And people can tell when that's the plan. More on that later. I read this week about websites that can detect whether a human or an AI is reading them. And they've already developed three distinct ways to stop competitors using AI to scrape insights from their content. Some strip down the content. Others deliberately feed misleading information to poison AI training data. Cloudflare launched something called AI Labyrinth (source:

The Cloudflare Blog

Trapping misbehaving bots in an AI Labyrinth

How Cloudflare uses generative AI to slow down, confuse, and waste the resources of AI Crawlers and other bots that don’t respect “no crawl” ...

) - when it detects an AI crawler, instead of blocking it, it redirects the crawler into a maze of AI-generated pages that look like real content. The crawler keeps reading, keeps indexing, and none of it is real. The AI reaches for what looks like information. It's not always information. Sometimes, your AI thinks it's found a bunch of rope to build stuff with, but your competitor is feeding AI a container-load of snakes designed to look like rope that, without some careful snake-wrangling, will poison your entire data-intelligence and cause you to make bad business decisions. Then there's the AI-on-AI problem. As companies deploy more AI agents, it's inevitable that some of those agents will be rogue - designed by a competitor or a bad actor to exploit the blind spots of your AI. Your agent trusts the data because it looks clean. The rogue agent was built specifically to look clean to your agent. No AI can reliably spot an adversary that was engineered to sit in its blind spot. You need a human for that - someone whose job is to watch the agents and ask the questions that neither agent is asking. Meanwhile, employees are doing the same thing at their desks. 31% admit to actively sabotaging their company's AI strategy (source: https://www.cio.com/article/4022953/31-of-employees-are-sabotaging-your-gen-ai-strategy.html ). And the most effective sabotage is the quietest kind. Companies across China started ordering workers to document all their knowledge as AI "skill files" - the plan being to replace those workers with AI agents trained on their own expertise (source:

X (formerly Twitter)

Milk Road AI (@MilkRoadAI) on X

This is WILD. A secret workplace war just broke out in China and it has gone fully viral on GitHub. Companies started ordering their workers to d...

). The workers figured it out fast. Someone built a GitHub tool called colleague.skill that scrapes a coworker's chat logs, emails, and work docs, then clones them into an AI agent. The logic " digitize your colleague before they digitize you", give the clone to the company, and watch your coworker get laid off while you survive. Ouch. Then someone else released anti-distill.skill - a tool that takes the skill file your company forces you to write and strips out every piece of real knowledge before you hand it in. The output looks professional, detailed, impressively complete. But every critical insight has been quietly removed. It even has three intensity levels depending on how closely your bosses are watching. It went viral on GitHub within hours. Same dynamic, different scale. When people believe AI is being used against them, they corrupt the inputs. So now you need someone whose job is to check whether the AI is operating in partial darkness. Someone who triages: is this reliable, or is something being hidden? That role doesn't have a name. It didn't exist a year ago. It's already overdue. No one knew what a "social media content manager" was in 1998. Not only did the job not exist, the entire industry that recruited that category of job didn't exist. Two decades later it employs millions of people. I think we're at that point again - roles forming that don't have names yet. All of them requiring the one thing AI cannot provide, the ability to see what AI is not being shown. The question everyone keeps asking is "which jobs will AI take?" I'd start with a different question. What could your people do if they stopped doing the things AI does better? AI can grab a lot of ropes and snakes very fast. Among the myriad of new categories of jobs that will get created, we're entering an era where we're going to need a whole lot more snake-breeders ... and snake-charmers

Hey, I'm going to be running a series of AI insights on Nostr only. Not the "10 AI prompts to10x your productivity" stuff. More like: what's actually happening beneath the surface that journalists haven't connected the dots on yet: the business implications, the new job categories forming, the ways companies are already sabotaging their own AI systems (and why that's rational). Some of what I'm finding is genuinely surprising - including to me. My intention is to give something valuable to the Nostr community. Would love to know as I post these whether they land as alpha, obvious, "already doing it", or too esoteric to be useful. That feedback helps me be more useful to you. First one coming shortly.
