I went to download an app today.
My first instinct was to go to @nprofile…tdq0 not Google Play.
To a developer, this probably seems like a laughably small change. But after years of Big Tech conditioning, it's difficult to rewire your brain.
It's the small things that make you realize you've chosen freedom.
No going back. 💪

In the long run, you gain a huge amount of understanding amd empathy from fiction, especially if you don't read it much.

2026-03-08 19:53:34 CET

Over the last 5 years, I've been in a 'Lads' Book Club' with 4 friends.
(Read on for my 3 favourite picks 📚)
The other lads are quite slow readers, so we only get through 4 books a year or so (I usually read about 30-50 books per year).
Still, it's a brilliant feeling (and a growing trend) to discuss fiction in a men's (or women's) circle.
Thought this might resonate with other nostriches, especially as the book we just discussed was recommended by @nprofile…us4a.
All 5 of us are writers or actors, and all are heavy readers. Still, it's great to approach each session with no agenda, no posturing, no fear of saying the wrong thing and getting cancelled. We value stories and characters from all walks of life, even if we are all White 40-something men.
***
My favourites books from the last few years:
1. Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson.
Beautiful court room drama with WWII historical context set in a fictional island in the PNW.
2. Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver
A brilliant re-telling of David Copperfield set against the backdrop of the Deep South opiod epidemic.
3. A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
An understated slow burn with impeccable plotting told over decades of imprisonment in Soviet Russia.
***
Why am I writing this?
In the hope it'll prompt a few nostriches to read one of these books, or better yet, join forces and discuss the meaning of stories with other likeminded people.
No matter how many AI agents we build, human-centric fiction still has a place at the heart of our world.

The Top 5 Most UNDERRATED Books in History
(You definitely haven’t heard of no. 2)
OK, here we go, in reverse order:
5. ‘Before. During. After.’ By Philip Charter.
Yes, it’s a bit big-headed to start with one of my own books, but this fast-paced novella set in small-town USA has love, loss, and everything in between. I like to think of it as a '3 ring structure', not a 3-act structure. Very rare. Very dramatic. Very underrated.
4. 'The Fisherwoman and other Stories' by Philip E. D. Charter.
OK. Before we get to the other books, one more quick plug for my work. My second collection of stories includes a couple of prize-winners and the best story I’ve ever published (set aboard a Scottish fishing vessel). Get the eBook on Amazon for a quid (I can’t remember how much it really is, 2 quid?).
3. '15 Shades of Time' by Chilip Pharter.
It is rumoured that this mercurial author spent the best of of six months researching the mechanics and construct of time just to write a story about an Italian philosophy professor who is a bit of git. Deep thinkers and wisened timelords have failed to discover this hidden gem, despite it being much cleverer than 'Einstein’s Dreams' and more entertaining than 'Back to The Future'.
2. '21 Futures: Financial Fallout'
This book of dystopian short stories, edited by the indomitable P. Charter didn’t make as big an impact as '21 Futures: Tales from the Timechain', despite the stories being higher quality and not exclusively about Bitcoin. (His publisher instructed him to include this book.)
1. 'Where the Crawdads Sing' by Delia Owens
And you thought I was just shamelessly listing my books! Well, instead of 'Foreign Voices' or 'A-Z of Rotten Uncles', I plumped for a criminally OVERRATED bestseller (4.37 on Goodreads, wut???) which is maddeningly two-dimensional and soppy. It doesn’t even feature one musically gifted crustacean!

All of these books are available on my website (except for 'Where the Crawdads Sing').

2026-03-01 14:27:56 CET

Every Bitcoin company, every product, every service, every non-profit needs a function and an identity.
The better then function, the more we want to use it.
The closer its identity aligns with ours, the more we are loyal to it.
Function wins in the short term.
Identity, values, and brand win in the long-term.
Function can be grokked with AI.
Identity is built through research and proof of work.
I'll use an LLM if it offers me a competitive advantage, but I'll drop it in a second if the CEO vows his support for a fiat war machine.
Every day, I see Bitcoin and freedom tech brands leaning heavily into AI. That's necessary to build out the best functioning product.
But competitors will do the same. They will drive efficiency and scale faster. They will obsolete you, unless you show your values.
For me, proof of work is tge input of time and energy. Appearing on podcasts, showing up in person, crafting original opinions and thoughts to demonstrate your values.
If we delegate our values to AI, we all lose.
I say this because I see so much more thought abdicated to machines with no respect for the brain on the receiving end. Readers, viewers and users all put in time and energy to your product.
All of your hacks, timesavers and bots will seem like yesterday's toys in a few months, unless you imbue them with your values.
Think long-term.
Stand up for what you believe in.
Respect your supporters.
Do the work.
Digital tools evolve every three months now.
Our values should last a lifetime.

So man parallels with the publishing industry in other art forms (writing, physical art, music).
All artists need networks, patrons, and to create value through connected businesses.
The idea of art for profit is an oxymoron.

CHAPTER 18 - Up to Date
UnPhiltered is drawing to a close. We’re pretty much up to date.
I’ll write one more chapter after I’ve had a chance to assess this little experiment.
I started this series with no expectations other than hoping it would be useful to other writers, interesting to those who have followed my career, and cathartic for me.
My only intention was to share a bit more about myself with raw honesty. It felt odd to leave the jokes and self-deprecation aside for a while. But I’m satisfied, even if the concept didn’t fit into any one box. UnPhiltered covered travel, teaching, short stories, books, coaching, communities, ghostwriting, digital businesses, bitcoin, and more. It didn’t really go into details. Maybe that’s another project.
So what’s next for my writing?
A few things.
Content writing and op-eds for clients continues apace. I have some cool projects with bylines coming up with White Noise, Bitcoin Art Magazine, Bitcoin Ireland Conference, and plenty of secret assignments too. In Bitcoin, I’m able to publish in my own name, write what I want, and also reach more people when writing for brands.
If there is one thing Bitcoin (and freedom tech in general) breaks down, it’s your sense of needing to pose and posture. The more honest your work is, the better the conversations and relationships you build are. When you stop running on the fiat hamster wheel, you can downshift and focus on smaller, more valuable communities.
Ultimately, we work to gain time.
When we choose how to spend all of our time, we can be more intentional.
I’d like that for my writing too. For example, in October, I’m taking a very personal trip that will test me mentally and physically. I plan to write about that too.
Re: fiction, I’ve come up with every excuse in the book for why my magical realism novel stalled. Now, I’m writing it again, and in a couple of months, I’ll be at the editing stage. Even though I’m not sure if I’ll publish it, my sights are set on the end.
Someone in my writing group asked me, “If you don’t make any money from fiction and you find it hard, why do you write it?”
“Because I have to do the work,” I said. “If something is easy, it’s boring to me.”
She stared, unable to comprehend, as though I had spoken in invisible ink.
Every day, I see more parallels between writers and those building tools for freedom. It’s never easy, but we focus on our craft. We have to.
That’s what is possible when you work to the beat of a different type of time.
Thanks for sticking with me.

How to develop a Nostr client in 10 simple steps:
1. Visit the Nostr GitHub repository and get familiar with the protocol.
2. Write down all the NIPs on pieces of paper, put them into a hat, and draw 13 random ones. Use ONLY these to build your client.
3. Prepare for marathon code sprint by drinking 2.5L of GM.
4. Publish code, then use a stable client to write a post asking for help from real devs.
5. Buy 3 large rolls of duct tape to perform fixes for version 0.0000001.
6. Post memes to collect enough zaps so you can buy another 2.5L of GM.
7. Embark on a dev quest with two close allies. To reach version 0.000001, you must slay Pubki, the Nightshade Troll, and reach the town of Aldenmorrow. You are armed with a bluetooth keyboard, a faulty relay, and an ostrich feather.
8. Call Jack Dorsey.
9. Appear on 250-300 podcasts to and reach 1 million repetitions of the word 'decentralization'.
10. Launch version 1.0 and wonder how to increase your userbase from 3 to 10.
