Last Notes
Really excited for the launch of Orange Juice today. Been working on this for over a year and think it’s going to be a great way to bring Bitcoin to main street.

GM.
Private equity funds generally aim to buy a business, cut costs, and resell it in 4-7 years with an indebted, hollowed-out balance sheet. It’s an important source of liquidity for business owners but has some well-deserved criticism. Companies that recently exited from PE have higher bankruptcy rates.
As an alternative, we’ve started a company called Orange Juice that seeks to buy private businesses, optimize where helpful, and hold them indefinitely. Instead of hollowing out their balance sheets out with, we will back them up with a bitcoin treasury.

How do you spread the word about BCH Nostr?
We've been chasing private messaging on Nostr for years. NIP-04. NIP-17. NIP-29. Our own Universes. Marmot. Every one taught us something, none of them was the whole answer.
Now it is. Encrypted communities, no company in the middle, and we run our entire team on it.
It's built on the Concord Protocol by the Vector team, @npub16ye…g4wn and @npub12w7…ktz3, who pivoted from Marmot to their own protocol.
@npub1q3s…d26p worked with them on v2, and we ran with it.
A tip of the hat to Flotilla @npub1jlr…ynqn for leading the NIP-29 charge, too.
I wrote the whole messy, honest story, including the dead ends.

Leading by Example
The best way to inspire others is not by telling them what to do, it's by showing them through our own actions. People often remember what they see more than what they hear.
In #BCHNostr leading by example doesn't mean being the most active member or knowing all the answers. It can be as simple as treating others with respect, sharing something useful, welcoming new members, or encouraging someone who's just getting started. These everyday actions help create the kind of community we all want to be part of.
Positive actions have a way of spreading. A thoughtful comment can start a meaningful conversation. A friendly welcome can help someone feel at home. One helpful post can encourage others to share what they know and inspire more people to contribute.
Every member has the opportunity to make a positive impact, no matter how long they've been in the community. The way we treat others and interact with one another helps shape the experience for everyone.
A strong community is not built by words alone. It's built by people who lead through their actions. By setting a good example, we help make #BCHNostr a place where people feel welcome, supported, and inspired to keep learning, sharing, and growing together.

⚡️🇨🇭 NEW - Proton VPN just shared that it received 47 legal orders through June this year, all seeking to identify users behind specific server IPs and timestamps. Every one was denied, because its no-logs policy leaves no connection data to hand over.
Per its transparency report, updated July 14, that brings the total since 2019 to 458 orders, with zero fulfilled. The company keeps no connection logs under Swiss law, so there is nothing to produce even when an order is binding.

The Saylor simp era is ending.
The Bitcoin era has just begun.
⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - Truck drivers are now taking down Flock cameras in an Ohio town by ramming directly into the poles, and more people are starting to do the same.
The destruction has reportedly triggered a chain reaction, with other drivers following suit and leaving law enforcement scrambling.
Even people without vehicles are joining in, using baseball bats to smash the cameras.
"The vandalism is part of a trend across the country."

The reason why no KYC is so important is because even if you self custody, you can still be compelled to give up the keys. They have more than a $5 wrench.
If this wasn't true then governments wouldn't hold so much bitcoin
But they can't compel what they don't know about
My impression from reading more about the EU Digital Wallet project is that it originally had nothing to do with age verification. It was supposed to be a handy tool for a digital drivers license, for opening a bank account online abroad, making a digital signature, etc..
For such applications the privacy trade-offs were probably fine. Sure, the Dutch government can see that you just opened a German bank account. But they'd be notified of that anyway.
Where it gets more dubious is the requirement that large social networks support it for login. Then the government can see which accounts you have. And lock you out of them!
But realistically nobody would use that, it'd be some obscure option on the signup screen.
But then it got hijacked by the age-verification gang, headed by Von der Leyen herself - so coming straight from the top.
Because these apps will (initially) be the only way to do age verification, they go from a niche option to the default and effectively mandatory. And so what a started as a handy way to open a bank account after moving abroad, turns into a mass surveillance and censorship machine.
None of this is excusable, and the people voting for it knew (or were willfully ignorant, no moral difference) this would happen. But it's useful to understand the dynamics.

I told my wife she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised.
it's been like 24 hours and it really feels like bitcoin twitter is indeed back (for now)
i dream of a mulitalgorithmic, polyapporous, open social media world where one man or ceo doesn't have a monopoly on the the "for you" page.
Twitter has always done a great job at letting you control what you see. You could switch to following, close the app and reopen and it will still be on following. you can not follow anyone and default to lists and view the world through that lens.
Defaults matter and it will always be a competition to game the algos.
Twitter clones also matter in the long run, but for nostr to break out, there needs to be a useful app for anyone.

Banks Said No. Bitcoin Said Yes. How "Born To Be Free" Was Financed Without Selling a Sat
At @nprofile…4kkp, I sat down with John and Nadja of @nprofile…c3zz, an all-natural, tallow-based skincare brand built from scratch on a Bitcoin standard. They shared how traditional banks turned them down for a loan despite an 800 credit score and a profitable business, and how Ledn's Bitcoin-backed loans help them fund their business without selling a single sat. It's a real-world look at how Bitcoiners are using tools like Ledn to access liquidity, grow their businesses, and stay true to their low-time-preference mindset, without giving up their stack. @nprofile…jf2l

Hi, BCHNostr fam! 👋
Good day/evening to everyone!
To celebrate my one-month anniversary in this amazing community, I've prepared 30 Cash Stamps that I'll be dropping in just a few minutes!
This is my small way of saying thank you to everyone who has been so kind and welcoming to me since day one.
Special thanks to our awesome admin, @npub1mad…rgfg , and to our most generous tipper and campaign supporter, @npub128c…3lqq . Your generosity and support mean so much.
And to everyone I've shared conversations and laughs with here—I'm hoping each of you manages to grab at least one stamp! 😂
I never expected this platform to completely change my daily browsing routine, but here I am—totally hooked! It's honestly so addictive, in the best way. 🤭
Here's to celebrating many more months (and hopefully years!) with this incredible community. I'm genuinely excited for what's ahead.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you, each and every one of you. 🫶
Now... lapagan naaaa! 🎁😂

Ang pinaka malapit saken sa lahat ng mga alaga ko. Akala ko kase mamamatay sya nung baby pa,
Ganun pala talaga yung isang ina, alam nyang hindi nya kayang gamutin ang anak nya kaya dinala nya yan saken, nilagay ko sa isang karton na may mga malinis na basahan. Dun ko sya inalagaan,,tinimplahan ko ng dextrose powder at gatas. Hirap kase sya kumain. Nung malakas na sya, binibilhan ko ng isda, manok, atay, at kung ano ano pa. Sa lap ko yan natutulog pag tanghali. Napakabait nya.kaya lang, pogi eh, ayun nang chix kaya nangayayat na ahaha.

I am one of the fortunate people in my country who, if I add up all the taxes I pay, has had around 70% of my income taken by the state.
For every €100 net that I pay for something, I first had to earn €333.33. €233.33 goes to the state and €100 to the producer, without even taking into account that the producer then pays taxes again.
This is an absolute absurdity, the European Union is an absolute absurdity, and my living conditions get worse every day, and I certainly can't afford many luxuries.
How am I supposed not to hate the state? How am I supposed not to hate democracy?
