Week of April 26–May 2 — Bitcoin 2026

This week included Bitcoin 2026, real conversations, a few book sales, and a physical reset I didn’t expect. Not everything went smoothly — but I showed up, and that matters.

Gibt es Moral in der Natur? Vom Wolfsrudel zur Waffe — und zurück

Wenn es keinen Handelnden gibt, wenn der freie Wille eine Illusion ist — dann gibt es doch auch keine Moral. Dann kann ich ja machen was ich will.

Monero vs. Bitcoin: Das falsche Problem perfekt gelöst

Monero, ein weiterer Shitcoin?

Humanity needed money that anyone could verify. Bitcoin is the programmed response: a protocol that transforms trust into auditable mathematics.

Du hast noch nie etwas getan...

Nicht ein einziges Mal in deinem Leben. Jede Entscheidung, die du je getroffen hast, war bereits getroffen — bevor du es wusstest. Das klingt absurd. Vielleicht sogar beleidigend. Du willst widersprechen — und genau dieses Widersprechen ist auch schon passiert.

Sabbath Is Not About Doing Nothing

I’ve been rethinking Sabbath — not as stopping work, but as stepping out of the pressure behind it.

Unfinished Work Is Not Failure

It’s harder to rest when things are left unfinished. But maybe that’s exactly the point — learning to step away without needing everything to be resolved.

Week of April 19–25 — Quiet Progress That Actually Matters

This week wasn’t about big new features. It was about clarity — tightening the message, improving the sites, and getting back into a real writing rhythm. Not flashy, but necessary.

Write Once… Render Everywhere?

Nostr promises “write once, publish everywhere.” And at the protocol level, that’s mostly true. But in practice, how your content *renders* depends heavily on the client.

The result: the same post can look completely different depending on where it’s viewed. Continuum takes a different approach—supporting both formats and separating authorship from rendering.

Who Owns Your Identity?

California’s digital ID in Apple Wallet is sleek, fast, and convenient—but it reveals a deeper shift: identity is moving from something you *possess* to something a system must *verify*. This article contrasts that model with a self-sovereign approach—where you control your identity and present verifiable proofs when needed. The difference isn’t just technical. It’s foundational.
