Why politicians never speak using an active voice (and why you should):
Active: I lost your money.
Passive: Campaign funds were misallocated.
Active: I lied under oath.
Passive: Testimony inconsistencies were discovered.
Active: I shredded the evidence.
Passive: Documents were inadvertently destroyed.
Use active voice in your marketing for stronger clarity and impact.
Save passive voice for responsibility-dodging, slippery politicians.

If Bitcoin feels boring to you right now, start building something.
You’ll get excited real quick.
Build credibility for your Bitcoin company using these 2 proven methods:
- Share actionable value (solve problems for free)
- Use social proof (testimonials & case studies)
Help and prove
Then trust follows
Potential customers won't care about your solution until they first understand (and care about) the problem your solution solves.
Restore the soul of writing
Replace AI slop with a fresh Bic and a clean sheet of paper ✍️
TCP/IP didn’t need a marketing team.
Bitcoin doesn’t either.
Companies that first used TCP/IP did need marketing.
Bitcoin companies do too.
Create value. Stack sats.
Create value. Stack sats.
Create value. Stack sats.
Regardless of fiat interest rates.
Regardless of fiat price action.
This is the way. 🫡
My Christmas list:
1. More Jesus
2. More family & friends
3. More sats
Ho! Ho! HODL!
Lightning-fast writing tip: Use adverbs sparingly. Strong nouns & verbs create effective writing. ✍️
Don't be vague in your Bitcoin app marketing.

For 18 years, I've carried this frustration.
Ever since 2007, when Austrian economics opened my eyes to the corrupt fiat system.
I finally understood why it felt so wrong.
The money printing.
The value erosion.
The control.
But understanding the problem isn't enough.
I need to be an active part of the solution.
As I've scurried down the @Jeff Booth rabbit hole, his recommendation rings true:
"Move your time and energy away from the system of control to the free market on Bitcoin."
So that's what I'm doing.
Transitioning my life to a Bitcoin standard.
I'm not making this leap to buy a Lambo or own three beach houses.
But to align my life with truth.
Living according to sound, Biblical money principles instead of political manipulation.
Building on mathematical certainty instead of central bank whims.
And also, freedom.
Freedom of time.
Freedom of energy.
Freedom to opt out of a system that steals from us all.
I'll share every step here on Nostr in an on-going series -
HODLer to Hyperbitcoiner.
The practical moves.
The mindset shifts.
The lessons learned.
I'm done investing my limited time and attention into a system built on coercion and theft.
Time to pack up and move.
The more I understand Bitcoin…
The less time I spend on CoinMarketCap…
And the more I spend on mempool.space and amboss.space. 😎
