Brick by Brick: Reclaiming Sovereignty in a Fiat World

On October 31st, Bitcoin Whitepaper Day, my book Brick by Brick: Building a Sovereign Life on Bitcoin will be published. It’s a blueprint for sovereignty, showing how fiat corrupts money, food, health, and culture, and how Bitcoin provides the foundation to rebuild. The book unfolds in five parts: from fiat decay to Bitcoin as renaissance, building parallel systems, real-life case studies, and the Sovereign Stack. Part 4 highlights stories of ordinary people living sovereignty in practice: Bram Kanstein - Dutch entrepreneur and builder. Carlo Isolabellart - Italian artist, husband, and educator A European pensioner - proving it’s never too late to embrace Bitcoin and health. I’m still looking for two more voices from people living on a Bitcoin Standard to share their journey. 👉 Pre-order here: amzn.to/4mW2pK4 👉 will be also available via my BTCPay Server with satoshis soon.
Brick by Brick: Reclaiming Sovereignty in a Fiat World

On October 31st, Bitcoin Whitepaper Day, my new book Brick by Brick: Building a Sovereign Life on Bitcoin will be published. You can already pre-order the Kindle edition here 👉 amzn.to/4mW2pK4
For me, this date is symbolic: Bitcoin was not just a new form of money, it was a new lens. Once I saw through it, I realized how fiat doesn’t just distort money, but also food, health, education, and even our very sense of meaning.

For decades, I worked inside the machine of “digital transformation,” helping corporations optimize broken systems. I thought we were making progress, but in reality, we were just decorating a crumbling fiat world with digital wallpaper. Bitcoin revealed the truth, that what we call “normal” is in fact systemic decay.

This book is my attempt to offer a blueprint out.

Why This Book?

Bitcoiners often say: “Fix the money, fix the world.” But I believe it goes further:

  • Fix the money, fix the food. Fiat subsidies make fake food cheap and real food scarce.

  • Fix the money, fix the body. Health is trapped in a “sickcare” model of managed decline, not vitality.

  • Fix the money, fix the culture. Attention is harvested and sold, while truth is drowned in noise.

Bitcoin isn’t just a financial revolution. It is the foundation for a sovereign life, one built on sound incentives, resilience, and freedom.

The Core of the Book

Brick by Brick is structured in five parts, each one a layer of the journey:

  • Part 1 – Fiat Corrupts Everything: how fake money leads to fake food, fake health, fake tech.

  • Part 2 – Bitcoin as Renaissance: more than code, a culture of low time preference, discipline, and truth.

  • Part 3 – Reclaim the Future: building parallel systems in money, food, education, and energy.

  • Part 4 – Proof in Real Lives: case studies of Bitcoiners in German, Italy and beyond.

  • Part 5 – Blueprint & Call to Action: the Sovereign Stack, five pillars of sovereignty: Money, Health, Data, Attention, Energy.

It’s not just theory. Each chapter ends with practical takeaways and steps you can apply immediately.

Stories - and a Call for Two More

Philosophy inspires. Technology enables. But proof comes only through people.

Part 4 of Brick by Brick is dedicated to those who took the leap, individuals and families living out sovereignty in practice. These aren’t billionaires or early adopters with lucky timing. They are ordinary people who chose to live differently, sometimes against the grain of their whole community.

  • Chapter 14: Bram Kanstein – “Bitcoin Bram”
    A Dutch entrepreneur and builder, known for early Bitcoin adoption, living sovereignty through creation and teaching.

  • Chapter 15: Carlo Isolabellart – “Brushstrokes of Sovereignty”
    An Italian artist intertwining Bitcoin with creativity, family life, and education, showing how sound money influences culture.

  • Chapter 16: Never too late – A Pensioner’s Path to Bitcoin
    A European retiree who embraced Bitcoin late in life, combined with adopting a ketogenic diet. Her story reflects resilience, health transformation, and inheritance planning

But the book is still missing two more stories.

👉 I am looking for two people who live on a Bitcoin Standard (fully or partially) to share their journey , your struggles, wins, and what you’ve learned. Farmers, coders, families, entrepreneurs, teachers, all voices matter.
