In case you haven't off-boarded your sats from StashPay yet, Boltz is currently down: https://x.com/Boltzhq/status/2084311537502630319

But sending to a Liquid address from StashPay works normally. Here are several option to convert LBTC to BTC: https://help.blockstream.com/liquid-network/acquire-lbtc/convert-lbtc-to-btc

Also feel free to DM me if you support. Stay safe out there friends!

I’m sunsetting StashPay in favor of more open alternatives.

Thank you to everyone who supported me on this journey. I shared my thinking around this decision here:

Interesting analysis from Mearsheimer on Iran

Great DOAC pod with Tony Robbins on navigating change and difficult times. Especially the part about AI:

I find John Mearsheimer’s framework of offensive realism helpful to understand global power dynamics. It basically says great powers, driven by the anarchic nature of the international system, are inherently aggressive in their pursuit of security and regional hegemony.

I can’t get over that press conference.

Is it wrong that I hope Tarantino makes the movie?

If you want to understand why Germans are so obedient look no further than the children’s book Der Struwwelpeter.

My favorite story is of the boy that does not listen to his mom and reluctantly sucks his thumbs, only to have them get cut off by the tailor.

Cool to see Moxie get excited about Passkeys and WebAuthn PRF to improve the UX for E2EE apps https://confer.to/blog/2025/12/passkey-encryption/

Passkey PRF could also be used to backup a nostr nsec to the password manager without users needing to copy/paste private key material.

And since Apple requires turning on 2FA to use passkeys, users get pretty decent security for key backups.

I’m excited to work with Praveen of Cove Wallet on a new open standard for Bitcoin wallet cloud backup using Passkeys - no passwords, no key server trust.

Today wallets like BitKey provide a seedless UX with good redundancy but they require hardware. For spending wallets or users that want to start without hardware our proposal provides a compelling UX - Just do FaceID/TouchID to sync a Passkey to your password manager and done.

It’s an improvement over Photon since there is no key server to run for the wallet vendor and no PIN to remember for users (and no email/phone for PIN reset). The wallet just needs to regularly do a health check to verify the Passkey in your password manager can decrypt the cloud backup.

Let us know what you think. The goal is to develop this into an open standard that any mobile signer can adopt. Link below 👇

Call your parents and tell them you love them. I’m glad I did yesterday.

Having Android apps and Graphene’s security on the desktop is starting to look like an attractive environment for developers. Can’t wait to see how this evolves.

👀

The character trait that I most resonate with among bitcoiners is the desire to take personal responsibility and empower themselves and those around them. I don’t care what your politics are (I personally don’t believe in simplistic labels). The thing I look for is are you lifting yourself and those around you up. It’s ultimately about self love and looking inward.

I’m grateful for this place. Where anyone can speak their truth. Whether we disagree or not.

Thank you to everyone that puts their time and energy in here.

Google clamping down on side-loaded APKs at the same time.

The good news is more demand for GrapheneOS will improve open source alternatives.

The best protocols that empower the user stay hidden. The signal protocol could only be silently deployed and bring usable end-to-end encryption to billions of whatsapp users because of this property.

Imagine getting a margin call rn

I‘m so grateful for all and fucking bullish right now. LFG 🙏🏼🧡

If you need some positivity this weekend I can recommend this documentary on gratitude. We watched it yesterday and really enjoyed it

This reminds me of the book Awareness by Anthony de Mello. It’s a great mental reset and if you want to laugh about yourself…

TL;DR: Distance yourself from labels/ideology. Identifying causes suffering. Love is only possible without fear. Happiness by dropping attachment. We are all selfish (some just have better taste) or „I’m an ass, you’re an ass“.

I’m wondering what incentive do OEMs have to enforce Google Play Protect at the OS level?

Sure, only a small minority of Android users care about sideloading APKs. But what reason does Samsung have to limit device functionality and risk losing loyal customers to a competitor?

No APKs for you!

Your Android phone soon won’t belong to you anymore.

These freediving videos from Daan Verhoeven are amazing. Reminds me how much I miss it.

I started the master freediver training a few years back and got down to 35 meters. It’s on my bucket list to complete the training and get down to 42.

Testing the new

release.

The ₿ symbol for sats is growing on me. What do you think?

They will keep trying. The half-glass full perspective is that decentralized open source tech will gain traction as a reaction. As will localism. There is opportunity in every adversity.

Today we’re excited to release the redesign of StashPay. I was fortunate to get

to join me on the project and it was a blast to be able to work together again. So massive shout out to him. I’m excited to see where we go from here!

Don’t take anything personally.

What others say or do is a projection of their own reality, their inner world. It has nothing to do with you.
