Sunday Brunch Ep 10 is live ☕🎶⚡️ This week’s guest-DJ is @AZA_21m , and the vibe is classic Brunch: coffee on the table, records spinning, and the house rule intact: 90% of sats streamed during songs goes straight to the artist. We talk: – @Amplified Tunes and building a more human music-discovery node around Nostr + Lightning – why artist connection matters more when fans can actually reach the musician directly – a possible physical magazine layer for the ecosystem – the growing Europe/UK V4V scene – and Aza’s work with Bitcoin Junior Club / bitcoin4youth, helping kids and families engage Bitcoin through creativity and critical thinking Plus a playlist that travels from economic-anxiety ballads to teenage-time-machine energy. Artists featured: @Zemar Red @My Friend Jimi @Haleen @Jaded Jester The Fifty Four Plates, and Silver Unit Executive Producer: @Strange Love

New Plebchain Radio is live 🔔⚡️🟣 Ep. 155 with @utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻 is a builders’ episode: permissionless doesn’t remove gravity, it just removes excuses. We get into: – why the latest “politicians + Wall Street” Bitcoin cycle felt dirty and why Bitcoin can’t survive as asset-only – the state of Nostr client UX and why UTXO built Wisp for Android (inbox/outbox, basics, shipping) – Nostr DMs: NIP-04 vs NIP-17 vs the next thing, and the current interoperability trench war – replacing Nostr.band-style search/trending with real ranking signals + “trending as relay feeds” – wallets + NWC-first UX, and why Lightning still fails when your node sneezes If you care about Nostr actually working for normal humans, this one’s for you.

Having written one full fiction book and ~70% of another in the past 1.5 years of the “reasoning” AI era, one thing is abundantly clear to me: AI is dreadful, cringe even, at writing creative fiction even with the most elaborate prompts – I haven’t used a shred of what it’s given me. That includes Opus 4.6. However it is exceptionally good (and getting better, especially Opus) at editing – developmental, line, and copy. This has been invaluable for me in the writing process.

Sunday Brunch Ep 9 is live ☕️🎶⚡️ This week’s guest-DJ is Budtender from @Hash Power Music , and it’s a proper “coffee + record player” decompression session with the house rule intact: 90% of sats streamed during songs goes straight to the artist. We talk: the Nostr serendipity chain that pulled him from “silent Bitcoiner” into music onboarding Hash Power Music’s vision: keep what worked from labels, ditch the predator incentives, let artists stay sovereign a Brunch-worthy playlist with everything from stadium-sized rock to dark cinematic vibes and a big plug for South by Worldwide: a Bitcoin/Nostr, Lightning-enabled music festival running alongside SXSW where zaps/boosts route live as acts change

New @npub14kw5...j7y0 episode is live 🌀⚡️ Today’s episode is with @npub1jfn4...t047 , and it’s a pattern-walk back to the center. We start with a sermon on weaponized escapism: the system doesn’t just sell distractions, it aims to keep you numb, looping, and harvestable. The real exit is constructive escapism: retreat into craft, build tools, make art, write code, and turn flight into creation. Then Sourcenode and I get into: • why Nostr feels different in the nervous system than legacy platforms (and why clout is a golden handcuff) • “fiat” as something deeper than currency: unwinding psychological and social layers • Bitcoin as trust-minimized, not magically trustless (the social layer matters) • the risk of financialization turning money into “asset-only” • practical onramps: helping businesses adopt Bitcoin and build real vendor networks If you like conversations that trace the mandala back to the source node, press play.
