BIS Approved
The BIS’s latest bulletin dresses itself up as an anti-money laundering initiative, but in reality it’s a blueprint for a global financial panopticon, one where every coin carries a compliance score, every transaction is judged, and fungible money is replaced with graded, state-approved vouchers. By weaponizing provenance tracking, off-ramp choke points, and international “cooperation,” the BIS isn’t protecting financial integrity; it’s laying the groundwork for a global monetary social credit system.
The State of Bitcoin Development
As Bitcoin adoption grows through treasury companies and ETFs, self-custody is increasingly critical to mitigate risks from crime and policy changes, while the network’s limited scripting—two core functions (hashed timelocks, multi-signatures) and three states (UTXO, OP_RETURN, SIGHASH)—forms the foundation for custody, escrow, swaps, Lightning channels, and sidechains. Data consensus exists only for Bitcoin itself, making off-chain interpretation necessary for SIGHASH, where larger non-Bitcoin assets like stablecoins or art often reside—seen by some as corruption and others as a trustless alternative to custodial systems. Programmatic use relies on HTLCs and DLCs (with oracles), while multisig evolves via MPC, and covenant upgrades could boost security without adding Turing-completeness. Innovation continues in meta-protocols and L2s, with notable projects like Alkanes, RadFi’s Trading Wallet, and Arch’s decentralized oracle compute network advancing Bitcoin’s role as modern sound money.

The CBDC's Are Coming!
The digital gulag is being built with your consent. While you debate politics and scroll social media, central banks worldwide are racing to deploy Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), programmable money that can be turned off, expired, restricted, or confiscated with a keystroke. The question isn't whether this digital leash is coming, it's whether you'll choose to wear it willingly, or join the growing resistance building an alternative economy around Bitcoin before the window for choice closes forever
The Abject Terror of Financial No Man’s Land
The other day, I defaulted on my quarterly taxes. I forgot to fund my account with enough fiat currency for the government to automatically steal.

The Bullshit Jobs of Modern Society [2025]
A Bitcoiner's commentary on what David Graeber gets right, and wrong, in his 2018 novel titled "Bullshit Jobs". Inspired by Jeff Booth, Austrian economics, and the Cypherpunk ethos that brought Bitcoin to life.

Pay yourself first จ่ายให้ตัวเองก่อน (ก่อนจะไปเป็นภาระคนอื่น)
“จ่ายให้ตัวเองก่อน” ไม่ใช่ความเห็นแก่ตัว แต่คือรากฐานของชีวิตที่ไม่เป็นภาระใคร เงินเกษียณและเงินสำรองฉุกเฉินควรอยู่ก่อนของไร้สาระ ก่อนลูก ก่อนทริป และก่อนที่คุณจะไม่มีอะไรเหลือเลย
The Power of Christian Commerce: Why Christians Should Do Business with Each Other
Jason explores the idea that Christians should intentionally prioritize doing business with other Christians to strengthen their community and align their resources with their values. Drawing from Rabbi Daniel Lapin’s Thou Shall Prosper, it notes that a dollar recirculates significantly more times in Jewish and Muslim communities than in Christian ones, contributing to greater wealth accumulation. An email from the US Christian Chamber of Commerce reinforces this by sharing a personal story of buying a house through Christian-led businesses, highlighting the power of prayer and the multiplied impact of reinvesting earnings into Kingdom causes. The article urges Christians to stop funding businesses that oppose their values and instead build an infrastructure—like the U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce—to redirect wealth and maximize their collective impact...not too dis-similar from the ethos of many Bitcoiners!
