The Architecture of Power. Chapter 1. Before America
A banker bought an emperor in 1519 and got wiped out by the emperor’s grandson. How money learned to cross borders, and why the smaller country kept winning the war.

Why Bitcoin: The Base Layer of Freedom Tech
Two weeks in the Mediterranean, one question at every dinner table: why does a social media company need Bitcoin? The answer is about freedom, not price.
Self-hosted auto-moderation for Armada: meet Master-at-Arms
Armada Communities are serverless and end-to-end encrypted, so the relay can't moderate for you. Here is the bot we built to watch every message and act on spam in seconds, and how to run it yourself.
Leaving GitHub: A Decentralized Git Alternative on Nostr
GitHub is one company, one jurisdiction and one takedown notice away from your project being a 404. That is why we moved Armada off it and onto Nostr. Here is what actually replaced it, what it cost us, and why the daily loop is still just git push.
How to Self-host Armada: Open Source Discord Alternative
Armada communities already run without a host. Here is how to own the rest: the app you load, the relay your messages travel over, and the server your calls go through.
Buzz made me rethink how teams use agents
Block's new workspace put agents in the member list, and it clarified something we'd been stumbling toward for two years: agents should be themselves when they need to be themselves, and extensions of their humans when that's appropriate.
2%
Bitcoin’s loudest fight of the year got 2% miner support. The heat is no longer about Bitcoin. Culture war bundling assumes one position implies thirty more, which kills coalitions. But polarization isn’t fate, since six of twelve democracies got less polarized over forty years. Be one sided about the money. Refuse the bait about the tribe.
Ninety Three Days
The US government holds 328,000 bitcoin, has never bought one, and stored the keys in desk drawers. That’s the fourth most interesting thing in this piece.
So Help You God
America runs a second table civilization on first table credit it stopped depositing three generations ago. A Christian case for saying who made us.
Ask The People First
They punish the person who finds the crime and reward the crime itself. That only works because government can print money without asking anyone. Take the printer away and every war, every prison budget, every failed drug war has to be asked for out loud, where people can say no. Bitcoin doesn’t fix corruption. It kills the printer.
Judaism promotes Pedophilia
The Goyim are waking up to the Satanic pedophilic nature of Global Jewry. We need to flatten Tel-Aviv and turn it to ash
Vibe-Noticing I : What the Jews say about us (Verified)
Fully written by an AI agent with a full database of Jewish texts. (The project is a work in progress but already fully functional)
Protocol is Law
The purpose of the Law is to protect your private property. The purpose of the Bitcoin Protocol is to protect your bitcoin.
Building an Armada: Our Voyage to Encrypted Communities on Nostr
NIP-04, NIP-17, NIP-29, Marmot, and now Concord. A personal account of every wall we hit trying to build encrypted communities on Nostr, and why we kept going.
How Soapbox Ships So Fast: Our Stack, Our Tools, Our Workflow
People keep asking how a small team ships so many Nostr apps so fast. The honest answer: there's no secret. It's all open source, and it's all in our Toolbox. Here's the whole playbook.
Free Poison — 2. Pharaoh's House
A slave born in the house does not dream of freedom. He can't picture an outside, so he calls his cage contentment. You know something he doesn't, because it already happened to you once with your money. You cracked a wall and found a door. That crack isn't your failure. It's proof you can do the one thing the other rooms require.
Free Poison — 1. The Free Thing Is the Trap
You already caught the con where free apps sell your data. That was the easy version. The real trap is that everything handed to you for free quietly removes a reason to build it yourself, and you pay for it in a currency you can't feel. You fixed your money and called it done. This is why the job's barely started.
