First teaser for my documentary, Build on Bitcoin. 5 weeks into post production, still a long ways to go but here’s a little peek into the film. I can’t say we’re going to win an Oscar but I can tell you it’s going to be unlike any bitcoin documentary out there.

What happens when our obsession with building the “perfect protocol” blinds us to the real problems users want solved? It's time to slay some s...

My main takeaway is that 99.9% of people don’t care about the “tech.” Nobody knows what a protocol is and why it matters… Therefore the entrepreneur’s job is to use Nostr as a tool to bring real value and solve problems for people rather than conform to the protocol at all costs. I learned something similar when interviewing the guys at @npub1a0gc...dw7g - they found a gap in the market and simply solved restaurants’ problems, reinforcing their products/services with bitcoin/nostr rather than make them the center of the business itself. Bullish on @Satlantis: Social Events and Nostr nonetheless. Svetski makes some very good points here and this will certainly trigger the hardcore Nostr users 👌

The reason why filmmaking, storytelling or even podcasting are powerful tools is not because they can logically explain something. It is because they can make you feel something.

Day 3 on the carnivore diet- slept poorly and woke up quite tired. Found out I’m technically not doing it fully by drinking coffee but I don’t care, I am not giving up coffee, or nicotine for that matter.

The creative journey in one chart.

15 mile ride to start the week. Let’s get after it relentlessly.

Day 1 of carnivore all I can tell you is that I definitely have a sugar/carb addiction. Cravings have been real. Questioning why I signed up for this for no reason other than to try it.

Day 1 committed to a month of carnivore diet. Let’s see how this goes. I’ve heard great things.

Two podcasts today. Murphy bed/podcast backdrop is an upgrade.

Movement is medicine.

Got to see two of my favorite comedians live tonight in Washington. First person who guesses who’s in this photo gets 210 sats.

Nobody is stopping you from building on bitcoin. The protocol is permissionless and so is how you allocate your time and energy. Start a meetup, vibe code an app, write an article, start a podcast, put a presentation together… there’s so much room for more builders.

Man it feels good knowing you got the absolute most out of the day.

If you listen to #40HPW of bitcoin podcasts you’re probably learning more than 99% of university level economics students. Let that sink in. High signal episode with Nik Bhatia and Dr. Jeff Ross:

Wtf happened in 1656? In this episode @Scott Dedels explains how the invention of the mechanical clock in tandem with the central bank made way for the fiat rat race we now find ourselves in. It was a fun rip that touched many topics:

When I ask a younger person what they’re trying to do in their career it’s pretty wild how often the answer is, “I just want a remote job.” I always say, “okay, then do it.”Finding a remote job is one of the most achievable career goals I can think of. However, finding a remote job that lights up your soul and gives you purpose is another story. Every nomad I’ve met who has found this balance works their fricken butt off and has unrelenting dedication to their business/craft.

There’s nothing better than skirt steak for breakfast. Protein in the morning = championship day ahead.

Making a full length documentary is by far the biggest project I’ve ever embarked on. First few weeks editing was tough. Lots of friction. Felt like I wasn’t making progress. I’m now catching some tailwinds and feeling the “creative flow.” Onward! Still aiming to complete the film by the end of the year.
