It's been a busy month at Hoseki: Prove is now fully public, Verify is live for institutions, and we’re building the rails that let banks actually support digital-asset customers. November update:

What excites me most about what I do every day is recharging the power of your savings. Every day, you trade your time, effort, and talent for money — a reflection of your hard-earned work. But when that money loses value over time, it sends the wrong message: don’t save for the long term — spend it while you can. That’s the world most of us have grown up in. Saving in traditional money meant watching your purchasing power quietly erode. To keep up, we’ve been pushed into becoming part-time money managers — chasing yield, picking funds, and jumping into markets we don’t fully understand. The assets we turn to are often illiquid, inflexible, opaque, confusing, and managed by others. Bitcoin changes that. It gives anyone the ability to store the value of their work in an asset that can’t be debased or taken away. It’s transparent, portable, and verifiable. That’s what drives me every day at Hoseki: building tools that help people see their savings as a better future — something that can be used on their own terms, for the things that matter most to them. Because the future isn’t just about hoarding for yourself. It’s about utilizing your hard-earned work for what’s most important to you.

I wrote this for Hoseki because your sovereign wealth should still count as your wealth. Screenshots aren’t professional verification. If Bitcoin is to be treated as financial capital, it needs the same standards as every other asset. Read here:

In regards to your multisig setup, is anyone still using Specter or has anyone that was using it pre-Swan, shifted to Sparrow?

To me, the harshest reality of legacy media's slow walk to obvious bankruptcy is: If their journalists were actually good at breaking news, journalism, or had interesting things to say on opinion columns, they’d make way more money going independent—via X, YouTube, Substack, etc.—than rotting at the Washington Post. It's why they all eventually become mouthpieces for different government factions.

Who is going to make the first product that allows your BTC IRA to receive in-kind contributions? Im sure it's a bunch of legacy and regulatory issues that don't allow it, but as a savings tool it would be a magical experience

I feel my thoughts on nostr have settled here as well Without a major app with pmf embracing nostr I think it will remain hobbyist and niche which, as you mention, isn’t a terrible thing. However it will not just grow because people care about censorship resistance. The great product makers have to choose it because of those properties and create something people love (and need) using it. We can’t rely on users caring about those properties, because they never will. *Side note* I have similar thoughts to this about ecash as well - particularly the grant criticism - but I don’t think we are ready for that conversation yet.

Been going down a serious Tool rabbit hole lately I’m honestly embarrassed I always knew they were good, but I didn’t understand they were the rock music equivalent of an orchestra masterfully dropping mind-blowing rock symphonies

Not sure what this means to you but to me it means we are losing This very well could be a white elephant for stripe — and I probably think it is — but btc solutions for payments are not top of mind for anyone right now I truly believe internet native value transfer NEEDS to be using btc rails as it’s the most decentralized and censorship resistant. The rails here are neither and that makes anyone using them — or seeing their utility and choosing them — vulnerable. We aren’t top of mind and introspectively we need to do a better job reaching the masses with our solutions image
