The hardest part about building a business for Bitcoiners is the volatility.
This is obvious when we think about Bitcoin financial service businesses, but its true for any business that services Bitcoiners.
When the price is up, things are good and their customers show their insane loyalty.
But as soon as the price turns down, even around 10%, spending patterns change in a pretty major way.
Though they may still be up 100s of percent, Bitcoiners are humans who get used to the new normal of their higher net worth quickly.
Unfortunately this occurs at the same time as your bitcoin is lower in price and you are human, so you feel it even more.
Running a business for Bitcoiners is not for the faint of heart.

When it comes to Bitcoin adoption as a medium of exchange, most people cite Gresham’s Law.
Bad money gets spent first. Good money gets hoarded.
Let’s take it a step further.
Producers who understand and accept bitcoin early have a leg up on the competition. They can keep quality high because the cost of their inputs is not rising faster than their savings.
Likewise, consumers who save in bitcoin see their lives improve and can afford higher quality goods.
Those high quality goods are increasingly made by bitcoin forward companies with less and less incentive to deal in fiat at all.
What starts at the high end eventually trickles down as more companies see the value of bitcoin and fewer need to accept fiat. https://blossom.primal.net/7f8990feafb2a7ffdd74bfb65f0e4f1083aa3633e27d1ebc063f8c8d499f5d74.jpg

I really don't understand bitcoiners who aren't interested in Nostr.
I get that not everyone is trying to build an audience, and that money is a more pressing thing to be an early adopter for, but the "Why would I need Nostr? I'm perfectly comfortable with X" narrative sounds like a no-coiner justifying their 0% bitcoin exposure.
It especially hits weird from bitcoin content creators, when it's clear that the hardcore, motivated bitcoiners are moving towards Nostr and not going back. Nostr is the clear and obvious future forum of bitcoin discussion, and you're just ignoring it?
Am I too deep in the weeds here? It seems so obvious to me. Do they really just not see it?

ZapSnag: The Future of Ecommerce?
What is it?
Zapsnagging is the closest thing to that Amazon button on your fridge you’d push when you needed more of something. A producer makes a post about their product with a zap amount and you zap that post them DM them your shipping info to order. It works best for repeat orders as you can skip the DM.
https://image.nostr.build/00f5e05603718399b9cfae2ee0541f6f48834289d8a1c22da817a81082afe6a7.jpg
Why?
Why does Amazon have 1-click ordering? Make it easy for people to order your product. Also, there is no better social proof of quality than seeing a public zap for a material amount. Zapsnags are the best marketing at zero cost to the founders. #WorthTheSats is the only review that matters.
Who is doing it?
@npub1uzt…qtrh products are great Zapsnag examples as are @npub1zzm…w5wy , @npub1n88…teq3 , @npub1m3f…hch4 and @npub153x…ryu8 wine for staples in the house.
The connection between Nostr, a social app where everyone is slinging money and has wallets connected, and commerce has always been easy to draw. There just hasn’t been a great mechanism to capture it. Zapsnag is the closest thing to Self-Sovereign One-Click Ordering that exists in the world today.

Why I Cook with Ghee by @npub1n88…teq3
First, WFT is Ghee?
Ghee is just clarified butter. You remove the water and milk solids, and you’re left with pure butterfat. The taste is richer and more refined without being sweet or salty.
Making it is simple, just melt unsalted butter over low heat, skim the foam, and simmer until the milk solids turn golden, then, strain it.
The main reason I switched to ghee for cooking is the smoke point and oxidation profile. Ghee handles heat way better than butter olive or avocado oil. It’s more stable, which means it’s way healthier when you’re cooking with it.
I still like butter for things like bread or finishing a steak, but if you’re cooking with high heat, go with the fat that’s built for it.
Bonus, when you heat ghee in a pan, it smells almost exactly like Annie’s Mac and Cheese. I grew up crushing that stuff. It’s hard to explain until you try it, but you’ll know what I mean.

One underrated reason to keep talking about Bitcoin is that you never know when you’ll be the bridge that aligns two overlapping worlds. This is especially true in local communities, where skeptics can transform into advocates.
Picture two circles (local service providers and Bitcoin believers) becoming concentric through trust. When teachers, nurses, cops, firefighters, and entrepreneurs hear real-world confidence from people they know, it shifts their view of a Bitcoin standard from abstract to attainable.

These essential workers spent years reading people, often in life-or-death stakes, honing a razor-sharp filter for signal versus noise. They don’t have time to deep-dive into Bitcoin white papers, but they can spot authenticity a mile away. That’s where you come in. Your reputation is the skin in the game they need to see.

Bitcoin is up 30% in the last 30 days.
Great! For consumers saving in it.
Meanwhile, business owners just watched their hard work sitting in inventory lose 30% of its value.
Reinvesting in yourself isn't wrong, but most businesses get stuck on the hamster wheel. Profits go back into product. Product sits, waiting to move, just to fund the next batch.
https://image.nostr.build/59519010d3faa35d8580c470328eeea428fc24333cea3e3987d46c61507d0c6b.jpg
This strategy locks them in the fiat lie: 'If you're not growing, you're dying.'
Infinite growth is impossible in a finite system.
The system is not built for stability. It punishes anything built to last. Bitcoin breaks that cycle. You don’t have to chase endless growth anymore. You can build something that will outlive you.
Want to create a business that lasts?
You need to opt out of this mindset.
Refocus on why you exist.
Businesses exist to make profit, but most are measuring that profit incorrectly. More sales are nice, but what did you gain? Growing your bitcoin stack is the proper measuring stick.
Start small. Even putting 1% of your profits into Bitcoin grounds your business. It slows the hamster wheel. One day you will be able to get off that wheel for good. One day the ground won't move out from under you.

Temu fuckin joggers.
The World of Temu joggers is waiting and hoping for Bitcoiners to fail. And the medium of exchange attack vector is the way to do it.
https://image.nostr.build/e455653ff3e3ae6d0b36d554428c247ead16cffbc8132170abe5ef0d98e88986.jpg
Wouldn’t it be great for joggers if we have egg on our face from claiming Bitcoin is pristine money but it’s so pristine that we don’t use it ?
“You can’t use it for anything!”
God they love that one. It’s their favorite gotcha. And they’re gonna be right.
They don’t mean store of value.
They don’t understand you are already using it flawlessly as a savings technology.
They mean Temu fucking joggers. They need to see their temu joggers are for sale in Bitcoin.
Until that is happening, the medium of surface area for jogger attack is growing by the minute with each jogger transaction.
As clear as I can possibly be and because it is worth repeating:
This is real. There is a very real threat to the flawless store of value use case and it is the lack of critical mass for the medium of exchange use case.
The joggers are not coming. They are in your houses already. And they are comfortable as fuck.
Temu jogger enthusiasts are 99.9% of the World in this example. And until you’ve seen absolutely zero reaction to jogger faces after SHOWING THEM IN PERSON THAT BEST SHIT YOU OWN IS FROM BITCOINERS, then you will dismiss this very real threat.
The assumption I got wrong on medium of exchange was if I just showed people incredible products purchased in Bitcoin then they’d finally get it.
Terminals accepting stable coins and digital dollars are here. The only thing propping up US Treasuries is Tether. Do you think Temu joggers give a flying fuck about anything else than more Temu joggers? They literally needed their pants to be easier. They were wearing adult pants and then said “ya know what!? I’ve had enough buttoning for a lifetime.”
We must create the flywheels for critical mass here ourselves or joggers are gonna jog on our graves.
We must create the flywheels today. Go buy some shit in sats today. Please. It’s not so scary I promise.
Joggers are gonna be incentivized by stable coins and the US to get more joggers. The businesses that run online or physical terminals in fiat world cannot wait to contribute to shutting up Bitcoiners.
This is how they easily do it.
If you don’t get this then when you lose to the Temu jogger crowd please kindly do not complain to the Bitcoin companies doing the most important work here to win. Don’t complain to those supporting them in sats about their messaging to spend sats.
Do you understand how crazy it is that you might be the source of the flywheel because you bought some fuckin soap in Bitcoin? And that you’re just not doing it?
Not only can you use it but Bitcoin business are making the most incredibly high quality products.
So let’s not be in situation where we have to explain that we could have proven Temu joggers wrong we just didn’t.
That’s not only how they win but how we become punchlines forever.
Buy shit in sats from incredible Bitcoin founders or be ok with the risk to store of value.
Be ok with making the Temu joggers look smart.

Zapping a note to buy wine isn't just novel.
It's powerful.
There are maybe 10 people in the world running their business this way. Does it give us an edge? Yes.
When you're paying for something in Bitcoin, the apex asset, you'd ideally want to try it before you buy it. But Bitcoiners aren't clustered in the same places, so most Bitcoin commerce happens online.
That means very little opportunity to sample.
You need social proof.
And there's no stronger signal than seeing someone zap a note to pay for an order.
If someone in your web of trust is willing to spend Bitcoin on a product, it's probably worth your time too. That zap is a purchase and an endorsement in one. It's a signal to everyone watching that it was worth the sats.
It also puts pressure on the seller.
That sale is public.
Everyone knows someone trusted you with Bitcoin.
Don't take that lightly.
Not every sale will happen like this, but the ones that do?
They give you something priceless.
Revenue that also works as marketing.
Your best customers are linking their reputation to yours.
You don’t have to ask for a review.
They already gave you one.
Zaps-as-purchases are rare today.
They're hard to earn.
But they are absolutely the most valuable.

Alpha isn’t something you declare behind a gate.
It’s something that gets validated, in public, by signal, not status.
NOSTR + zaps flipped the model.
Now the crowd decides what’s worth paying for, and the “paywall” is permissionless.
Fiat subscriptions are an old-world filter.
Zaps are proof-of-work for content.
You don’t sell alpha. You earn it.

What’s the real value of a peer-to-peer network?
It’s not how many people you can reach.
It’s who you can count on when it matters most.
In places without rule of law, money looks different.
Fuel, booze, bullets - those are the mediums of exchange. Hungry? Guy’s got a goat. You trade five gallons of diesel and some whiskey shooters.
Turns out, those little airline bottles are gold. One NCO I worked with ended up buying pallets of them for his prepper stash. Why? Because when survival depends on trade, what matters is not volume, but value and trust.
To really understand peer-to-peer economics, you have to look where it’s life or death. These aren’t theoretical markets. These are real-time, high-stakes transactions between people who need information and goods and can’t afford to be wrong.
This is where Reed’s Law comes in. It’s not about how many people you can connect to (that’s Metcalfe’s Law). It’s about the value of tightly-knit subgroups that can actually get you what you need when it matters most.
Metcalfe’s Law says value = total possible connections.
Reed’s Law says value = total functional clusters.
Think of it like this:
Metcalfe is the phone book getting one new name.
Reed is your Rolodex getting one more supplier you trust.
And in a circular economy built on Bitcoin and NOSTR, Reed’s Law isn’t just academic, it’s actionable.
Because when you can buy meat, raw milk, tools, or design services from Bitcoiners you trust, you’ve exited the fragile web of third parties. You’re not stacking just sats. You’re stacking resilience.
In warzones, adding more contacts doesn’t matter if none of them deliver.
What matters is the consistency of trust within your cluster. That’s where safety comes from.
This is why the Bitcoin circular economy isn’t just about scaling.
It’s about depth, not breadth.
It’s about being a reliable node in a small, self-reinforcing loop.
Reed’s Law gives you the Bat Phone when you need something crucial. Not just more internet strangers to scroll past.
Metcalfe is the mass network.
Reed is your lifeline.
And building that lifeline is simple:
Just start transacting with a few Bitcoiners you respect.
Find the ones who deliver. Become one yourself.
That’s how we realize the peer-to-peer vision of Bitcoin.
Not someday. Now.

What if China has been the silent Bitcoin bull all along?
What if, for the past decade, they've done everything possible to stack quietly—banning miners, attacking exchanges, pushing anti-Bitcoin narratives—just to throw off the scent?
What if the real plan is to buy $2 trillion worth of Bitcoin overnight, add it to reserves, and flip the switch—denominating all trade in Bitcoin?
The U.S. wouldn’t even notice until Bitcoin ripped past $1 million per coin.
By then, it’s too late. The dollar is finished. China is 100 years ahead.
They still hold $775 billion in U.S. Treasuries.
If they dumped those into a market already strained—like right now, when even the Treasury needs to find $61 billion in buyers in the next two days—it would be chaos.
Yields would spike. Liquidity would vanish.
And the U.S. would be forced to step in with the printer to absorb it.
That would kill the credibility of Treasuries overnight—devaluing them for every other nation holding them.
If China wants to make a move, it’s not war or rhetoric.
It’s dumping USTs and forcing the U.S. to buy its own debt with printed money—devaluing the dollar as a reserve asset and displacing Treasuries as the global collateral base.
Luke Gromen has been warning about this for years.
The dollar might survive.
USTs might not.
Because countries don’t hold Treasuries out of goodwill.
They hold them to access the dollar system, to settle trade, and because they’re supposed to be the most liquid, most credible, safest debt instrument in the world.
But that all hinges on U.S. creditworthiness.
And if China can break that illusion—just once—by dumping the one asset that holds the whole system together?
They win.

Founders are a rare breed.
They’re the ones who break through the fear of being judged and actually build something.
In the Bitcoin circular economy, there’s an arbitrage opportunity, not just in the products, but in recognizing and supporting the people who have the guts to try.
Most startups don’t work.
And often, it’s not because the idea was bad—but because no one was honest with the founder about product-market fit.
Here’s the truth:
If you think you have product-market fit, you don’t.
You know when you have it.
Product-market fit feels like being yanked forward by both nostrils.
Your servers break.
Your inbox explodes.
Customers are mad—not because they hate it, but because they want more.
You can’t think about anything else because the demand is overwhelming.
Some describe it like wearing a hot dog suit in a wolf pack.
Everyone wants what you have.
That should be the bar for products in the Bitcoin economy.
You can’t fake product-market fit. Not as a founder, and not as a customer.
As a founder, you either solve a real problem better than anything else, or you create an experience that changes people’s lives.
As a customer, you either feel it—or you don’t.
That’s what’s WorthTheSats.
The opportunity we have is twofold:
1. Be honest with founders.
Help them learn whether they’ve hit product-market fit or not—fast.
2. Support the ones who keep building.
Even if the first thing doesn’t work, we should recognize the founder mindset. That savage energy is rare. You can teach product testing. You can’t teach the drive to build.
So try products.
Give honest feedback.
Help founders see where to pivot or double down.
That’s how we build the Bitcoin economy—by honoring time, talent, and truth.

Satoshi might’ve walked away because the peer-to-peer element never took off. At the time, Bitcoin looked like it was becoming just digital gold. That may have felt like a dead end—or at least, not the revolution he envisioned.
A real Bitcoin standard means using it for all three functions of money: store of value, unit of account, and medium of exchange.
Two of those are mostly passive. But using Bitcoin as a medium of exchange is an active choice. It’s what actually pushes Bitcoin forward.
Being able to buy and sell what you need with Bitcoin?
That’s what winning looks like.
That’s the original digital cash vision—and until you can live your life on Bitcoin, you haven’t really exited the matrix.
Use Bitcoin however the hell you want. No one gets to tell you how to spend your money.
Just don’t miss this:
Every peer-to-peer transaction moves us closer to killing fiat.
Closer to making the old system irrelevant.
It's not about volume. It's about direction.

But also it's just in their best interest to do so

Kobe and Jordan built their legacy on more than skill—they weaponized psychology. They played the ad hominem game not out of pettiness, but for the edge. They studied opponents, detected weakness, and exploited it with obsessive focus. Mastery wasn’t just about points—it was about breaking you mentally. But they played within boundaries: rules, referees, and Gatorade breaks.
Some of the most fiercely competitive people in the world don’t play games at all. They hold Bitcoin.
They hold it to protect their families. They hold it because they’re done being lied to, robbed, and devalued. Their arena doesn’t have timeouts. Their incentive structure rewards the ruthless application of pressure—without violence.
They play the psychological game better than anyone. Not for show, but because it works. They train to see every angle. They live to sense hesitation. They feast on unpreparedness. The fear you feel? That’s not by accident.
They welcome competition. It keeps them sharp.
Just understand: losing to them doesn’t mean a bad stat line or a tough press conference. It means losing intellectual dignity—publicly and permanently. You can call them “maxis” if it helps you cope. Just don’t cry when you find out you’re the pain maxi... because you thought you could outwork them.

Bitcoiners are the new capital allocators.
We’re living in a brand new world—nothing will ever be the same again. What made sense before was just habit: the consistent, daily reinforcement that Keynesian dollars could get you things. More fiat meant more stuff.
But those assumptions were built on sand.
Now, with perfect money, capital allocation among Bitcoiners follows a different logic. It’s grounded in real economics—Austrian economics—with a focus on hurdle rates, opportunity cost, and long-term value.
Just like Bitcoiners found each other by following reason to its conclusion, their investment choices often arrive at similar endpoints. But there’s a twist: perfect money creates a paradox. When your money appreciates exponentially for doing nothing, it becomes harder to justify spending or investing it at all.
That’s the challenge: if Bitcoiners don’t actively defend the medium of exchange property, they risk losing the very status that made them the capital allocators in the first place.
Before Bitcoin can become the default medium of exchange, it has to reach critical mass. But its strength—unparalleled appreciation—makes spending it feel irrational in the short term. The opportunity cost is too high. That disincentivizes everyday usage, which stalls progress toward mass adoption.
Bitcoiners face a choice: delay spending and preserve gains—or spend with purpose to build the future. That’s why Bitcoin capital allocation has to expand beyond ROI. The hurdle rates vary: some investments are about returns, others about aesthetics, ecosystem growth, or purpose.
Using Bitcoin as a medium of exchange doesn’t make short-term ROI sense. But it’s a long-term, purpose-driven decision. The real return? Staying in control of capital allocation. Cementing Bitcoin’s role as not just a store of value, but a currency in motion. Until that happens, fiat still wins by default—easy to earn, easy to spend.
So let’s show the world what Bitcoiners can do. Back the people, brands, and companies willing to build on Bitcoin. Prove that Bitcoiners don’t just spend—they allocate with conviction. We can mint new brands overnight simply by choosing where we spend.
That’s how we stay the capital allocators.
And right now, there is no higher ROI than securing Bitcoin’s place as the medium of exchange through a thriving circular economy.
