Social Media is The Great Filter.

I'm zapping everyone who likes and comments on the @life with bitcoin⚡️ interview with @ivy lumi. It's not just with me, she consistently does a great job of presenting the stories of fellow Bitcoiners. So, let’s send some views and support her great work.

I love seeing @npub1nfev...4gf7 reaching a point where a lot of development happens in plugins, independent of the core team. Every week, new functionality ships from different teams and products. In 2026, I hope we see new plugins shipping every day. h/t @Mt Pelerin View quoted note →

Alright, let's do a vibe coding @BTCPay Server plugins video 🚀 I'll present what I've learned over the past few months using AI tools and mix it with decades of my coding experience. Sending it to @webworthy and @Pavlenex first, then publishing as soon as they ACK.

The BUIDL day of Bitcoin Japan is here! At 11:20 AM local time, @Nicolas Dorier and I will debate the recent OP_RETURN changes and Core v30 release at Tokyo Bitcoin Base. Even though I care deeply about preserving Bitcoin as money, I mostly refrained from debating these topics online. The discourse just wasn't productive, as evidenced by how @Parker Lewis, @Giacomo Zucco, @Samson Mow, @knutsvanholm, @Tomer Strolight and many other great Bitcoiners were being treated. Vilified for focusing on long-standing points of monetary maximalism and not blindly agreeing with the changes. Thus, I'm thankful to have this chance to present views that I think many in the Bitcoin community share. It's the best possible setup, really - having a knowledgeable friend like Nicolas represent the opposing side, and @Stephan Livera moderating. While I believe that the consensus of - Bitcoin is money - is still shared by the vast majority (especially now, with recent trendy developments) - there's an increasing gap between the words and the actions. I'm sure we can do better than accepting excuses of "we can't do anything, other than continuing to relax policy limits", labeling people (filteroors, Knotzis, podcasters, etc), and forking community into camps where you have to blindly parrot certain talking points. Luckily, besides the spam of attacking individuals and trying to destroy people's reputations, the debate that has been raging for months has also produced interesting technical proposals that I believe are better alternatives to the current direction. Hopefully, Nicolas and I do a good job of covering those from different angles and build a foundation that's useful for future development. See you in a few hours!

My 1-year GitHub contribution streak is complete. Thanks to all of you who helped make it happen ✊🗽 Doing this again for 365 days made me realize a few things. The biggest of all - AI has won. If you're a developer, you have to start integrating AI into your workflow. Google's Gemini 2.5 release in June marked the moment when AI-generated code became better than what an average dev produces. With the recent releases of OpenAI 5 (medium reasoning) and especially Claude 4.5 - it's game over. These models are easily in the top 10 percentiles. And then - if you're not having fun coding right now, you're doing it wrong. It's such a special time to be a developer and play with the available tools. It's all about who you're coding with and what you're building. There's so much demand for quality software that if you don't wake up every day motivated to work, just switch projects. There are plenty of great opportunities for good devs (especially in FOSS!), and more will keep coming as software continues eating the world.

Everyone wants to be a rockstar until it's time to be a rockstar.
