Boulder Bitcoin is on a mission to get 50 merchants set up to receive Bitcoin payments on #Square in 2026! Yellow Barn & Boulder Bitcoin co-hosted a Sovereignty Session on Financial Sovereignty, with Bitcoin 101 at the forefront of the conversation. Momentum is building! #Boulder #Bitcoin #Yellow₿arnFarm #CircularEconomics #SmallBiz @

We are building a mycelial network - and Yellow Barn is a node in that network.

The Stalk Market is the connective tissue to link the nodes together. To help make them visible.

And Picky Pig is the artery system that helps move resources and recycle waste between nodes.

The Stewards holistically tend the ecosystem. The Operators build the channels for resource to move. And the Players bring it to life with their participation.

This mycelial network needs complexity to be resilient. If one node fails, the entire network can still keep functioning. Redundancy becomes resiliency.

There are community nodes all over the globe in varying phases of stability, infrastructure, experimentation, and viability.

And the more nodes that are fully operating - simultaneously supporting and being supported by their local communities - the more we can wean ourselves off the current systems that are no longer protecting us.

The more we feed the Kraken with our energy, our attention, our money, the stronger it becomes.

The bravest thing we could all do is to STOP feeding those systems and start feeding the nodes.

Pick a node. Nurture it. Like growing food, the more you pour into it, the more it can feed you.

Remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint.

Stalk Market Updates: We are coming to the final 2 months of our 2025 pilot season of the Stalk Market, at Yellow Barn Farm. We supported 8 local Soil Stewards with a collective total of about $120k over this season:

1. Regeneratively raised beef & pork from DAR
2. Eggs and chicken from the Flock Fathers
3. Veggies from Sunburn Farm
4. Homesteading education from You Enjoy Life
5. Farm-fresh community meals from Schlop Stop
6. Food scrap pickup & food delivery from Picky Pig
7. Market & freezer space from Yellow Barn
8. Logistics & software from the Stalk Market

It takes a village to make food a reality!

We have about $17k left to hit before the end of the season and plenty of meat to spare! We are hosting 'Cuts for a Cause' - a butcher box fundraiser to reach out goal to support all of our Stewards through the winter months. Want to contribute? You can reserve your 25lb box of mixed beef & pork cuts online - if you're local, come pickup at the farm. If you're not, contact us, we will work with you to get your box shipped to your doorstep! BTC & USD accepted.

Helllllllo Nostr! Been a while - here to give a little life update out at Yellow Barn Farm. We are halfway through our first pilot season for the Stalk Market as a community-driven "investment fund". We have pooled resources from 35 pilot members, and funds are used to purchase meatshares (regenerative beef and pork raised at Yellow Barn), produce from Sunburn Farm, and utilized for community meals, homesteading educational workshops, and food scrap collection + home food delivery.

It's been a wild ride, and throughout all of this we have been slowly seeding this community with the idea of Bitcoin as an alternate currency. Yellow Barn has been hosting the monthly Boulder Bitcoin meetup, and Schlop Stop food truck (run by the same guys at Sunburn Farm who supply all our produce) are now set up with

to receive their first sats for meals at our Aug meetup.

We've had educational meetups for the past 2 months covering an intro to BTC + a workshop on hosting your own node. This Aug will be on self-custody.

Yellow Barn also hired a fractional Property Manager, who is a neighbor rancher, and all pay is in sats.

The goal for the rest of this season is to meet our final fundraising target of $22k to get us through the rest of the year (specifically to pay for the beef and pork shares). Then, for 2026 memberships, each member who signs up for a Stalk Market Soil Share will be gifted X amount of BTC. So we have 5 months left to get all our market vendors, the sauna business now on the farm, and our own service businesses (Small Haul moving, Picky Pig compost, Kaizen landscaping, and Stalk Market food delivery) set up with wallets so they can accept BTC for events, food, and services once members receive their BTC gift.

If you ever happen to be in Boulder, come visit us on the farm :) Got ideas, suggestions, or wanna get involved? DM me! And if you wanna throw in a few kernals for the cause, zap!

Looking for feedback on the newest version of Thr Stalk Market!

Does it make sense? Would you do it? Any suggestions?

Any #Bitcoiners at #BurningMan? Hmu!

Yellow Barn will be hosting our very first Sovereignty Summit on Sept 21.

This will be a very unique event, something we've never done before. It will be a series of panels where folks in our community can apply to be a panelist or moderator for whatever topics they want to speak on. We will curate panels 1 week prior to the event.

Check out www.yellowbarn.farm/sov-summit to see all the info. The photos shared give a peak into some of the topics and event design.

The Stalk Market is officially on Nostr and set up for Bitcoin. Follow us and plant some "seeds"!

Circular systems - soil, food, and compost.

Friends!! We're going live with the whole "farming-as-a-service" idea and I'd love any feedback about our website. Does this make sense? Any errors or ways to improve the message? Any ideas on how to integrate Bitcoin payments on Wix?! Website: www.stalk-market.com

Morning! Go outside today and put your feet on the ground!

I find that when the somethings stack up too high, the paralysis sets it and the void of nothing yawns open, ready to devour.

But then when you find the balance point - the ecotone between everything and nothing - that's when the eye of the needle can be threaded. The mystery awaiting you if you follow the middle path.

Just keep walking.

Ya know, with the fact that nostr is #nodelete land, the ability to preview a post would be nice. Make sure your reposted notes, link previews, and whatever else you're trying to share is actually gonna look like you're hoping it will.

Can we stop counting followers and start focusing on quality of connections?

Social Soil has been the core concept guiding the social design at Yellow Barn.

Observing land stewardship in regenerative agriculture informed much of this concept: even the most barren, compacted, dessicated land could be remediated into fertile soil.

Regenerated soil is incredibly resilient.

Relationships are the same: the need for deep roots of trust, processes for composting emotions, mycelial networks to move resource, fair and reciprocal exchanges of attention. Once established, they are able to withstand even the most brutal elements: Torrential storms of grief, wildfires of rage, gusty winds of change. Because we did the work to create layers and layers of healthy social soil.

And once that layer is built, the seeds of ideas, hopes and dreams can truly flourish into life.

Things like money become tools to move energy - the current-you-can-see of currency - and just as water in a garden, it can be mindfully allocated in the quantity, frequency, and location most needed at that time. It's always good to have your ponds to store water but once full, you don't need any more. It's better served downstream.

Take only what you need. This is the essence what Indigenous wisedom teaches us with the Honorable Harvest. And if our technology and money can match that Ethos...well, then we're creating a whole new game.

It seems like the Fibonacci sequence gives indicators of graduating levels of coherent stability - stacking nodes in geometric form for structural integrity.

With people, the variables are not only innumerable but also dynamically responsive (environment, situational, culural influences, social ties etc) that creating stability at increasing levels of geometric complexity is quite challenging. Hence the creation of rigid (most often hierarchical) organizational structures, contracts, laws, regulations etc - particularly as we have fragmented our micro-nodal communities into wide-spread low/no-trust societies.

There IS a need for hierarchy - but it is not infinite vertical height. It's dynamic hierarchy that stretches horizontally and follows the 80/20 Pareto Principle. Leadership dynamically shifts to the most qualified person for that specific project/task, and instead of a comand-and-order model we shift to an advice-seeking model for optimal decision-making by the Lead in that domain.

In our community ecosystem, we use nomenclature that points towards growth vs dominance - a Tree is a Lead (the "responsibiliteur" making the decisions within their Domain), the Core Team members are made up of Saplings, Sprouts and Seedlings, who are all learning how to take responsibility under the guidance and shelter of a Tree.

People - and groups of people - are ecosystems. Trees can't function without the Saplings, Sprouts and Seedlings (and all the other flora, fauna and fungi). It is symbiotic and no one is consider "superior" or "inferior", they just have different roles and responsibilities.

And this is the beginning of creating our Social Soil - the fertile foundation needed to allow humans, relationships, and communities to thrive.

Spent a lot of time analyzing how ecosystems of people form.

If I were to hypthosize, I think that the "software" that is running in the current human operating system is still coded for trusted networks of 150.

We started with clustered tribal communities of ~150, and in today's age, that number still stands for how many relationships we can realistically manage (trust diminishing as you spiral outward from the center).

This doodle was the first iteration of working out how to organize an ecosystem of people. From a design standpoint, people were the focal point - any business, non-profit, personal or professional network.

The goal: identify your Leads (1 per Domain), your Core Team (primary supporters to your Lead), Technicians (volunteers, contractors, etc), Advisors and Audience. Acknowledge that ecosystems have natural constraints (enough of the exponential growth BS). And your main constraints are how many relationships ONE Lead can truly manage without burning out (and still get their work done).

Especially as an entrepreneur where the first Lead is typically in multiple (if not ALL domains), the potential for destabilization is very high.

The most important person in an ecosystem? The First Follower.
