Self-professed followers of Jesus the Messiah on Nostr. Protestants, Roman Catholics and Orthodox welcome. (No LDS or JWs)
An archival clarification describing the continued use of Gregorian dates by centralized authorities alongside the adoption of ledger-based and epochal time by sovereign colonies after the Pilgrim era.
On this Labor Day, I trace the arc of sovereign labor across centuries: from Earth’s fiat chains to Bitcoin-native colonies, from the Cathedral of New Lakota to the Chain Among the Stars. A master timeline of the Bitcoin Chronicles universe, spanning 2025–3100s.
From MySpace to Terra/LUNA, most platforms and tokens are disposable. They promise ownership but vanish with the hype, leaving creators and workers with nothing. Bitcoin is different. It is cathedral-building: slow, covenantal, sovereign, built to last for centuries. This article contrasts disposability with endurance, calling readers to build cathedrals, not art deco houses.
A hopeful essay contrasting today’s closed digital “walled gardens” with Bitcoin as an open, flourishing ecosystem. Argues that Bitcoin’s scarcity enables abundance, and that sovereignty is not isolation but a path to human flourishing.
A Bitcoin Magazine–worthy essay arguing that fiat systems erode trust through inflation, bailouts, and opacity, while Bitcoin restores trust by anchoring it in transparency and mathematics. It shows how Bitcoin redeems human relationships and responsibility, offering hope for honest cooperation.
Most visions of the future cut history short. Left Behind puts prophecy in decades, Terminator makes AI the end of everything. This essay sketches a longer arc: the Unifier, the Turning, and the Threshold — the great transitions of the next 2000 years, with Bitcoin as the incorruptible pillar carrying sovereignty until eternity.
In 1963, beneath the limestone hills of western Pennsylvania, a classified government archive quietly destroys research deemed incompatible with administrative stability. One archivist’s decision to preserve forbidden equations ensures that sovereign mathematics survives long enough to inspire the Pilgrim generation.
A deep exploration of why Continuum — and all sovereign systems — must be built to endure beyond their founders. Sovereign tools are cathedrals, not startups.
Every revolution of the word is also a revolution of spirit. This essay envisions a new age of free expression built on open protocols, where truth is not hosted but inhabited. T
Bitcoin is not an investment class; it is a moral reformation. To exit fiat is to renounce false weights and measures, to step back into a covenantal economy rooted in truth.
The mechanics of profit can dull the meaning of purpose. This essay wrestles with what it means to trade faithfully—to keep agency when success feels automatic and wins taste like dust.
A meditation on the difference between spiritual authority, fiat power, and proof-of-work. In a world obsessed with leverage — financial, social, or political — true power remains something money can’t purchase and status can’t secure.
Peace isn’t a feeling. It’s a state of alignment — the soul resting in truth rather than illusion. Sovereign peace begins when control ends, when faith becomes trust, and when the heart learns that surrender is the truest form of strength.
This long essay explores how families, teams, and communities rebuild after endings—death, betrayal, disaster, inflation. It argues that trust is not sentiment but structure, describing practices and architectures that embed trust into daily life. It also shows how Bitcoin and Nostr offer trustworthy blueprints for money and speech in the rebuild, enabling collaboration without gatekeepers.
In 1944, as world leaders gathered to design the postwar economic order, one unsanctioned economist carried a warning no one would hear. His discarded letter becomes one of the earliest seeds of the sovereign awakening that will one day culminate in the Pilgrim missions.
This essay explores renewal after endings—whether personal loss, social upheaval, or economic collapse. It considers how sovereignty is exercised not only in saying goodbye but in saying *yes* to what comes next. Drawing from metaphors of seasons, Scripture, and open protocols like Bitcoin and Nostr, it shows how continuity and innovation can coexist, and how beginnings are authored with courage rather than drift.
This essay explores the meaning of legacy in the face of mortality, weaving together personal grief, the sovereignty of saying goodbye, and the incorruptible permanence of Bitcoin. It considers both the practical dimensions of inheritance and the philosophical parallels to the “Book of Life,” contrasting man‑made ledgers with incorruptible ones. Through reflections on family, property, and faith, it reframes farewell as one of the most sovereign acts of all.
In our time, many people feel like they are living inside a casino economy. It is not only Las Vegas. It is in our phones, our investments, our shopping apps, even in the way we talk about “opportunity” and “risk.” Everything starts to feel like a bet. Writers sometimes call this “casino logic.” This thinking shows up in day trading, sports betting, speculative real estate, congregation finances, and even in the way ordinary people talk about retirement and savings. You can feel it: the sense that you must always be “playing” to stay afloat. Paul’s word for this is older and simpler: a snare.
Grief does not suspend belief; it tests it. This essay explores how resurrection begins not in theology but in the moment you decide to keep creating after loss—linking the permanence of love to the incorruptibility of truth itself.
A minute-by-minute account of Monday, Sept 29 — from the 4 a.m. departure in Honolulu to the 8:30 p.m. text confirming your father’s passing — a day suspended between motion and stillness, farewell and peace.
