I’ve seen a few posts lately ramping up the conversation #bitcoin is surveillance vs #monero is private.
I’m curious, couldn’t a soft, or perhaps it would have to be a hard fork of Bitcoin make it possible for it to become privacy favorable or no, inherently at the root, that is not possible with Bitcoin 🤷‍♂️

Do you spend a lot of time in Portugal?
I was there many years ago for a month doing a speaking tour.
Was “this close” to moving there! Had a place lined up and everything.
Love Portugal. The people there are amazing.
If you don’t visit much, be sure to check out Cintra and I don’t recall if that is where the Moorish Castle is but that is a cool place to visit.

Good Monday Morning Nostriches!
I was reflecting on yesterday’s GM post, today.
I said “today is church” (in my head I was saying “we are going to church”) which got me thinking, especially since we never made it out the door and decided to opt for “couch church” instead.
In Greek ἐκκλησία (ekklēsia) literally means “the called-out ones” or “the assembly/gathering” of God’s people (not a building). Yet most people mean what I was thinking (we are going to a building to do a thing…)
While it’s certainly a minor thing, like one’s salvation is it dependent upon this, perhaps we could get in the habit of saying what the Greek word actually means…
 “I’m going to meet with the church.” This is clear, natural, and accurately reflects that you’re going to be with the people, not just attending a building.
• Short & clean: “I’m heading to the gathering.”
• Warm & relational: “I’m going to be with the church.”
Does it matter? Not really…but when we connect our hearts to our minds, we are more aligned with Biblical principles.
When we say “I’m going to church,” it can unintentionally reinforce the idea that “church” is a place or event we attend, rather than who we are as the called-out people of God.
Using phrases that focus on the people helps keep the biblical meaning front and center.

Seems like politicians are the modern day scribes and Pharisees…
“Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples: “The scribes and the Pharisees are seated in the chair of Moses. Therefore do whatever they tell you, and observe it. But don’t do what they do, because they don’t practice what they teach. They tie up heavy loads that are hard to carry and put them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves aren’t willing to lift a finger to move them. They do everything to be seen by others: They enlarge their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels. , They love the place of honor at banquets, the front seats in the synagogues, greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by people.”

@nprofile…d4yh next personal project on my radar is running a NOSTR relay.
I’m thinking:
A. Small (currently have about 800GB available for storage)
B. Backup my Notes
C. Probably WoT based (cause on the surface that makes sense since I’m using mostly WoT relays other than Primal’s cached relay) 💁‍♂️
D. Blossom too 🤷‍♂️ (seems important if I’m too be a contributor to NOSTR but maybe 800Gb isn’t enough and this is another beast for another day)
Thoughts on how to achieve this goal?
P.S. I’m on a Mac and the 800GB is on an external HD.

This hit me upside the head in my devotions this morning.
In (Western) church services we are often told “speak to this mountain” and it will move.
This comes from Scripture, specifically Matthew 21:21.
So you will see people pray and speak directly to a specific ailment, as an example. They might speak “in the power of Jesus name, knee be healed” (I’m generalizing and slightly sensationalizing this for sake of example)
But here is the point I want to make:
It isn’t the name of the specific thing for which we are praying over…
It’s name of Jesus!
When you pray with authority in Jesus’ name. You don’t need the specific ailment’s name — you need Jesus’ name.
P.S. Good Morning Nostriches!

Good Morning Nostriches!
I often think we overcomplicate what it means to follow Jesus.
We add layers, programs, strategies, and systems — many of which are good — but sometimes we lose sight of the simple, clear call God has given us.
The prophet Micah captured it beautifully over 700 years before Christ:
“Mankind, he has told each of you what is good and what it is the Lord requires of you: to act justly, to love faithfulness [mercy], and to walk humbly with your God.” — Micah 6:8 (CSB)
Jesus didn’t come to make this more complicated. He came to fulfill it and show us how to live it.
As leaders, it’s easy to get caught up in building, growing, and executing. But if we’re not actively pursuing justice, extending mercy, and walking in humility with God, we risk leading from a place that looks impressive but lacks the heart of true discipleship.
Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is return to the simple.
Act justly.
 Love mercy.
 Walk humbly with God.
That’s the standard. Everything else should flow from it.

If you live in an area too cold to find it growing, some grocery stores sell a large leaf of it…or I’ve seen in Walmart a gallon bottle of “Aloe Vera juice” (near the beauty section) not sure how pure it is but if no alcohol in it and otherwise “100%” real gel from the plant, try that.

One thing I think there is not enough of on NOSTR is ReNoting.
I realize not every “Good Morning” is valuable enough to share with one’s followers.
But since WE are the algorithm; I believe it’s critical to share each other’s content so we can better discover one another!

This is so true.
Years ago we instituted “push” and “pull” days.
Some days must be pull days, less active or full on rest days.
What are 2 even more powerful lessons is when you realize:
1. Rest is Biblical, and
2. There are seasons.
As Kudzai says, align those and you are golden.

Yea I’m aware of that.
But from my recollection (and the resource you provided) “confession” was presented by Christ after his resurrection.
In my original note I was discussing scripture that is pre-death (and thus Christ’s resurrection).
The specific verses i discussed were Jesus declaring He would build His church upon Peter.
So I’m trying to understand the connection you are making between sacraments, specifically “confession”, and Peter being ordained as the first organizer/leader of the Body of Christ.
(Please don’t take the above combatively. I’m merely trying to understand what you are intending to communicate) 🤝✝️

Sometimes a video stops you.
I watched a groomer carefully work on a severely neglected dog whose fur was so matted and tangled that it could barely move. The mats were so thick they connected its ears, tail, and paws into one heavy, painful mess. You could hardly tell it was a dog.
As I watched the slow, patient process of cutting away what was weighing it down and restoring what had been trapped underneath, I couldn’t help but think of what Christ does with us.
We come to Him matted. Tangled. Weighed down by things we can’t even name anymore. Unable to move freely.
And He doesn’t just clean the surface.
He restores.
He frees.
He makes us new.
As leaders, this picture stays with me.
A lot of the people we lead are carrying matted layers — old wounds, sin patterns, dysfunctional systems, or the weight of life. Surface-level fixes don’t work. Real transformation takes time, patience, and a willingness to go deeper.
But here’s what I keep coming back to:
Only Christ can fully untangle what’s truly knotted.
Leadership can create environments of refuge and patience. We can walk with people through the process.
But the real transformation? That belongs to Him.
(I’m not crying, you’re crying.)

Would you be willing to elaborate and explain what you are thinking?
When I read these verses and the surrounding ones for context; I don’t see reference to any sacraments.
I see Jesus ordaining, arguably, the founding leader of the body of Christ (aka “the church”, believers)
I’m intrigued by your reference and curious about it.

2026-06-04 11:51:57 UTC

Good morning Nostriches!
Sometimes reading scripture you are like “oh that was cool” or “I’ve read this 50 times before but never caught that nugget…”
Then other times you are “🤯 whoa!!! You mean to tell me…”
This morning was one of those days as I studied Jesus ordaining Peter to build His church (the body of Christ, not a building, institution, or legal entity).
“And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the forces of Hades will not overpower it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth is already bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth is already loosed in heaven.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭16‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭HCSB‬‬
What grabbed me was the concept of “bind and loose”.
TIL this is heavenly authority and was common rabbinic language.
• Bind = to forbid or prohibit (declare something off-limits according to God’s Word).
• Loose = to permit or allow (declare something permitted according to God’s Word).
The Greek tense is important: “whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven.”
This means you are not creating new spiritual realities — you are declaring and enforcing on earth what God has already established in heaven.
Practical meaning for believers today:
As the church (the people of God), we have been given authority in Jesus’ name to:
• Declare what is forbidden by God (bind).
• Declare what is permitted and released by God (loose).
What this means is this: The church is not just a group of nice people meeting on Sundays. We are an advancing army that the gates of hell cannot stop.
This passage directly connects us (the church) to the spiritual battle we are in.
We have been given real authority (keys + binding/loosing) to push back darkness, proclaim the gospel, and enforce heaven’s will on earth through prayer and the Word.
Man…Amen!

Well explained. In this version then, you are really just referring to taxonomy. The equivalent being hashtags or semantic tagging (Think the way Obsidian works)
If the idea is the core, you have to somehow denote the idea so it remains platform agnostic…enter hashtags.
Dr. Steven Downes pioneered the use of hashtags in this manner. He called them folksonomies. It’s been about 2 decades since I’ve worked with him on a project,
He was a long-time researcher at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), with deep ties to universities and e-learning projects.
He pioneered advanced tagging / hashtag-style systems — In the early-2000s he was a leading voice in folksonomies, semantic tagging, and using simple tags/labels to create organic connections between ideas, people, and content. This was before Twitter hashtags exploded, but his work directly influenced how tags could form “webs” of knowledge.
The “Web of Trust” + “the idea is the connector” as you mention Jaques is Downes’ core philosophy (especially connectivism) which treats ideas themselves as the connectors.
People/profiles/ideas link not through central authority or followers, but through shared concepts, problems they’re solving, things they’re building, or thinking about.
Multiple factors (reputation, relevance, connections) create a decentralized “web of trust” where the network grades and surfaces valuable input. It’s exactly the system you described.
He wrote and spoke extensively on this in papers like “Semantic Networks and Social Networks” (2005) and his work on personal learning environments, where tags and links create emergent, trust-based knowledge networks.
You might want to read that paper and dig into some of his works!

Well you essentially have something like this within most mainstream (tech giant) social media platforms via their communities function.
A more narrow example would be @nprofile…6sc7 wherein the app is built around the specific community topic of Bitcoin.
The issue I see with what you are thinking @nprofile…lapa through is no idea exists without a person…without people…without relationships.
So the profile does somewhat need to be front and center; otherwise you run the risk of having to spin up thousands of different instances of the app; one for each idea/topic.
At which point, one of the core rules of technology is broken, “Technology will never be the cause of greatness only an accelerator thereof”.
So to set out to build something (anything) solely for technology’s sake isn’t prudent unless there is the underlying connector; that is human to human relationships.

Crazy thing is the so called “bankers” at your local bank have no clue.
We had to get our son a checking account yesterday (so he could learn to manage the money he is earning) and his mom and I were using terms like “fiat” and the “banker” (just a customer service person trained to push buttons ask “what is fiat?”
Then she offered him a safety deposit box and he didn’t know what he could use it for, I said, well you could store gold or silver coins in there if you didn’t want them at our home safe.
The representative then chimed in “well we don’t recommend storing money in there” and then proceeded to explain “with a savings account the bank will pay you to deposit money…”
My son asked “why would the bank pay me?!” (He knew the answer 🤑 but this lady didn’t…)
Fractional reserve baby!
I was so torn getting him a bank account…
Soon he will be on a Bitcoin standard though…just hope rails like Strike and Fold allow custodial or private trust accounts soon…

So people are going to have to adapt and adopt.
As with anything on the technology adoption curve, we’re still before the gap.
As such there is still a lot of man in the middle that has to happen.
Even something as basic as giving agentic AI access to your email to accomplish inbox zero… is foolish to give AI carte blanche delete access.
We also have to recall that AI will only ever be as good as its inputs open, just like us humans).

Combined this has me a little frustrated. Not yet cranky…but a bit miffed for sure.
This weekend is basketball tournament for the teen. ⛹️‍♂️
At practice on Thursday he hit 7 three’s, four in a row and had a total of 31 points on the varsity team…he’s in 8th grade 😯
Whether he makes it pro or not, I know God has great things for him!
Finishing up an internal project this week then I plan to get back into producing content for Above the Line Leader.
What non-Bitcoin (or I guess it could be Bitcoin or NOSTR related) questions do you have from a #leadership perspective for your business, life, and impact?

Yea. Having followed you for a bit now, I’m sure you were thinking along the lines of something more technical, network related perhaps.
I’m really torn right now because my son is a teen and starting to earn his first fiat (earned in cash thankfully!) but mom wants him to get a bank account.
I’m like “why do we want to out him on the radar?!”
I wish I had the clear check list to undo the legal things my parent unknowingly subscribed me to at birth; and live purely lawfully.

Can you explain this a bit more?
Like what is wisp fixing for those who left NOSTR 🤷‍♂️
(I seem to be out of the loop)
And isn’t wisp a NOSTR client anyways?! (With much needed added functions)?

Same. I asked the other day but no reply yet…he’s probably busy building 👷‍♂️
That being said, even an PWA or website access would be stellar

Honestly, the first thing that comes to mind is the money.
Second would be exiting the public structure all together

Will do. Is your web and ebook versions up to date so I should download them now or that is what you are releasing over time?

This is a tough one for me as I’ve been a teacher, administrator, and board member of Christian schools.
The idea is noble, the execution is often misguided and/or unknowingly deceptive.
Here’s what I mean: the “school” often ends up wagging the church’s proverbial tail.
The church has “all these rooms sitting unused during the week…so what if we open a school?”
Then the church sees the increased revenue and tends to forget the calling you outline…to raise disciples.
It becomes a competition and marketing battle to see which Christian school can get the most students…
Now Biblically the great commission (to which you refer) is peer to peer…relational!
Soon as we put a structure around it, it sadly tends to become transactional.
Furthermore, the instructions within the Bible to bring up children in the way of the LORD is given not to an institution rather to individuals…the parents.
Thus, today we homeschool our son.
For a variety of reasons such as college isn’t really that important these days (both my wife and I have higher ed degrees and we use just about zero of it in our business, life, or impact) but primarily because we believe there is no better person or group of people on earth to raise the child God Himself has entrusted to us.

So one of my near term projects is launch an nsite, replicate my main site.
Is this a tool to help me do that?
(I’m confused and new to nsite)

Is there an exchange for Monero, similar to Bitcoin, wherein you swap XMR for gift cards and that’s how you are paying your phone bill with Monero?

This is about right. Everyone in the USA I know that owns a gun, certainly owns more than one!
Usually 3+
Most 7-10

Not sure who needs to hear this right now. But when you embrace "God I am clay in your hands."
Be prepared.

It was the 2008 versus 2010 related to how old bitcoin was I think the question was when was the white paper written and I knew bitcoin was about 15 years old and I’m like you know what but I think the white paper was before that so my mind was like 2010 but in my heart, I knew it should’ve been 2008 so I chose 2010 and got it wrong. It was 2008.

So I lead a Bible Study once a quarter for Faith Driven Investors.
Ans one of my favorite lessons is on Matt 6:24 "money" in translated from Aramaic and Greek as a proper noun. Early English translations have it as "Mammon" whom is a specific demon who destroys relationships!

I've heard some variations of these. Grace over Grind is certainly something I live by.
Instead of "Love over Fear" I usually say "Vision over Fear"
Another one I use a lot is "Clarity over Chaos" #note1hwu…2q4y

Easiest way to legally pay less in taxes is to have a business, at a minimum a “side hustle”. Soon as you do that you create the opportunity to shift many “ordinary and necessary” expenses from personal to business.
Heck even being a 1099 vs W2 in the USA has similar affect.
We already pay so many darn taxes on everything else we buy (consumption/use) why should we pay the max otherwise?
Nope! Get a tax strategy in place so you minimize what your liability

It depends on several factors…
Am I already on the Bitcoin Standard?
What is fiat expenses?
Is this a one time payment or weekly/monthly?
What is fiat price of BTC (relates to the first to questions)?
What are my financial goals?
Do I have a ratio based budget that answers the above and thus the initial question you posed? (Ie I always give first then pay myself second, 15% each; the rest is usuable)

Ok…thanks!
Been chatting with Grok trying to explore this and figure out how to migrate my current site.
I’m Apple centric (I know, shoot me 🔫) so trying to figure out how to even use Titan or view an nsite example.
Bigger question, how do my prospective clients render let alone discover my nsite?
Trying to think through use case and solutions to road blocks…I want to move away from Squarespace and while for decades I used Wordpress, they are just about as expensive to maintain and host these days as a “Squarespace” site…
So that led me to a Canva hosted site which should get me 90% there, which is where you introduced nsites and Titan…so now thinking through a both/and solution but am stuck on the “how do people or even myself access my site regardless of OS or form factor”?

Here’s the crazy thing. If we can send emails, why can’t we host websites in a decentralized manner?
I know it’s been said, but NOSTR quite literally could become the rails of the internet v2 (so to speak) like your site is hosted on relays around the world

I’d probably split it between wallets, make sure I have 2-3 months worth of expenses in my Bitcoin standard account, and whether it’s 1 BTC or .1 BTC, then yes passphrase split up and multi sig if desired
