New episode of Share Your Bitcoin Journey 🧡
This week I sat down with Lindey Magee, a Mississippi mother and author of the children’s book Bitcoin: A Treasure to HODL.
After losing her husband to cancer, Lindey made the decision to put his life insurance into Bitcoin. That choice gave her the freedom to stay home with her daughter, heal, and eventually write a book introducing sound money to families.
Her story is honest, faith-filled, and deeply moving.

Share Your Bitcoin Journey – Episode 8 with James Kintore.
James draws a powerful parallel between his work in interior design and Bitcoin: He explains how quality interior design is built on long time horizons — using materials like European oak, walnut, and cast bronze that gain patina and outlast the client. Once he started understanding Bitcoin through the lens of energy, natural law, and time-chain rules, it felt like the same logic at a different layer.
Do you see Bitcoin as an extension of long-term, energy-based thinking in other fields?

🧡 Clip from the latest Share Your Bitcoin Journey with
“It’s this really difficult thing to describe or fully grasp until you start playing around with it… There’s a lot to feel pessimistic about in the world right now. But at the same time, things like Nostr, Lightning, and Bitcoin feel like green shoots of hope coming through.”
Tom on why these tools feel like real sources of hope — not theory, but something you start to feel once you actually use them.
What’s giving you real hope right now in Bitcoin or Nostr?

Let’s document the cultural layer of Bitcoin.
#Bitcoin #Nostr #BitcoinForTheArts #SovereignArt #ArtistStories #SoundMoney #PlebsCreate #Artist #Art #Bitcoin #Stories
Art is one of the oldest forms of human economization.
Long before money, markets, or credentials existed, humans created value through rhythm, movement, voice, and presence. We danced. We chanted. We told stories with our bodies and sounds. These acts weren’t just “entertainment” — they were how we earned attention, respect, status, and sometimes survival itself.
Watch this brother light up the subway car with pure skill and energy. No formal degree. No institutional approval. Just discipline, talent, and the courage to turn a moving train into his stage.
In a world where résumés, titles, and qualifications often fall short — where society doesn’t always see or value your full worth — your art still testifies.
It’s honest proof of work. Of hours spent honing your craft. Of something real and undeniable that other humans instinctively feel and respect.
You can’t fake presence like this.
Creation like this cuts through the noise. This is the spirit we’re protecting and empowering at Bitcoin For The Arts — sovereign creators who build real value, backed by sound money instead of fragile systems.
Raw. Human. Timeless.
Drop a 🔥 if this hit you. Tag a creator!

The entire National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) annual budget is roughly $207 million.
At today’s price, that’s only ~2,559 Bitcoin. Let that sink in.
One federal agency — full of politics, gatekeeping, and yearly uncertainty — operates on what the Bitcoin community could comfortably rally together.
Now imagine what we could actually build with sound money: • A sovereign global artist endowment that grows in value over decades • Direct Bitcoin micro-grants to creators (no middlemen, no revocation) • Residencies, studios, performances, exhibitions, and on-chain patronage • Real freedom for artists to create without begging bureaucrats
Fiat funding is fragile and temporary. Sound money can create a true cultural renaissance that lasts.
Who’s ready to stack sats for sovereign art?
Bitcoin For The Arts is already building it.

The ARPA Cliff is here.
Boston just proposed a 27% cut to its Office of Arts and Culture as the federal pandemic sugar high finally ends. $26M+ in temporary fiat injections drying up. Small orgs and independent artists getting wrecked first — as usual.
This isn’t a local story. It’s nationwide. Fiat arts funding was always fragile: one-time stimulus, political whims, inflating dollars, and budgets that treat culture as a luxury item to cut when reality hits.
We’re building the alternative at Bitcoin For The Arts.
• Direct BTC micro-grants to artists’ wallets (no middlemen, no revocation) • Radical transparency + 55/30/10/5 model • A growing HODL Vault endowment that actually appreciates over time Sound money for sovereign creators. Low time preference culture.

Just back from

What a showcase. So many talented artists performing live, and the energy was electric. Unfortunately we didn’t manage to capture footage of every artist.
Biggest highlight — watching the production team make sure every artist got paid directly in Lightning zaps in real time. That’s exactly the kind of value-for-value future we’re trying to build at BFTA.
Shoutout to
and the entire Tunestr crew for pulling this off.

on the future of Bitcoin For The Arts:
"Having a low time preference... you could mirror the decentralized nature of Bitcoin with Bitcoin For The Arts. You know, maybe it's little nodes in different countries... each node grows over time and then is able to step in right in that specific jurisdiction where an organization is struggling and we can actually help."
This is exactly the vision — a global, decentralized network of sovereign art nodes supporting artists everywhere.

We are cultivating the world. So it makes sense to me that if the artists are cultivating the world and are the change agents that are creating the world that we want to live in, then it makes sense that artists should lead the sound money journey to allow people to see the type of world that we can create when we have a better system.

powerful "Share Your Bitcoin Journey" on Bitcoin For The Arts!
From Poland, this hand-embroidery master (22+ years tailoring) weaves Bitcoin sovereignty into every stitch—staying HUMAN in a tech world. She discovered BTC in 2016 via her husband, turned skepticism into breakthroughs (first BTC art sale = game-changer), survived hard times with community support (
-funded sewing machines!), and now runs https://buybitart.com + open-source BitcoinArt project for uncensorable artist sites.
Favorites: "Eyes of Bitcoin" (her companion through tough days), "Bitcoin Footprint" (soul's unique imprint of freedom), "The Girl with the Bitcoin Eye" (strength & vision for Bitcoin women).
Bitcoin = phoenix, nature's force, direct payments via BTCPay, no gatekeepers.
Her advice: "Ask what Bitcoin means to YOU—freedom? Independence?—then create honestly from there."
