Long is the way and hard, that out of Hell leads up to the light.

Been wanting to create more conversations like this at the House. Not just about Bitcoin, but about how students, builders, and communities can better understand the environment around them, and where Bitcoin can actually fit into that picture. Really enjoyed this first episode with Jonathan from CCACC. Full conversation is now live. πŸ€™ View quoted note β†’

When I asked @Constant to write a reference for us, I genuinely didn't expect it to turn into a public post. Opened your link and had a proper surprise moment. πŸ˜‚ We met at Bitcoin Amsterdam in 2024. My first impression of you: tall, handsome, and dead serious. Turns out the β€œdead serious” part was the one I got wrong. Thank you for the honest words, all of them. The praise obviously means a lot, but so does the criticism. We haven't been quiet because we've been idle. Building and rethinking a product takes a lot of head-down work, and much of that work isn't very visible from the outside. At the same time, we've also been doing the less visible half of the job on the ground. Just a couple of days ago at Bitcoin House Malaysia, we ran a beginner meetup where people used Nostr and experienced Lightning zaps for the first time. We're seeing more of this kind of grassroots adoption across different communities. And on the things that have been bothering you: yes, we've been listening. A major new YakiHonne release is coming very soon. Some of what you mentioned is directly addressed, and in a few areas we've gone quite a bit further. So thank you again, not just for recommending YakiHonne, but for caring enough to tell us where we can be better. πŸ€™ View quoted note β†’

First guest at @BitcoinHouse MY @BritishHodl sat down for 90 minutes. We traded origin stories, swapped notes from communities around the world, and talked honestly about what worries us and what keeps us going. One of the best conversations I've had in a while. Before he left, he wrote "Sovereignty is Everything" on a sticky note and left it on the table. It's still there and has become part of BitcoinHouse Malaysia. See you again soon. Maybe Malta.

Two months of turning an empty room into a place for Bitcoiners to meet, learn, build, and stay a while. Seeing it full today made all of it worth it. Bitcoin House Malaysia is open. Day one. 🧑 View quoted note β†’

Two things happened in the same week. Trump signed executive orders setting 2030/2031 deadlines for post-quantum cryptography across U.S. federal systems. IQM announced a 1,000x improvement in quantum error correction. Neither breaks Bitcoin today. But for developers building tools meant to last decades, the engineering discussion just got more concrete. View article β†’

Decentralization isn't an easy path. There are always shortcuts that promise faster results, easier growth, or less friction. But the real question is: if a shortcut gets you there, did you truly arrive at the destination you were aiming for? In the end, the only thing we can do is keep building with patience. Invest the time. Do the hard work. See the shortcuts, understand them, and still choose the longer road when it leads to something more real. It may look slow. It may even look foolish. But the outcomes earned that way tend to be far more authentic, resilient, and true. View quoted note β†’
