Well, I did warn that Zcash ($ZEC) was developed from technology originating at Tel Aviv University, involved a venture-funded private company that charged a 15% founders’ tax on mining, had prominent Zionist investors such as Barry Silbert, and relied on assurances from Zionists such as Peter Todd that the keys had been destroyed.

Based on those factors, I viewed it as a questionable Mossad honeypot.

You can search my history for warnings about this one.

This new app pays you in bitcoin to read the bible. Each day you login to "The Orange Bible App” and complete your reading, your streak grows and you earn more. Miss a day and your streak goes to zero bitcoin and you start with the lowest reward again.

On this day in history, 10 years ago, the Opendime was released. The USB can be passed by hand, checked by plugging in, and spent only after removing the resistor off the circuit board to reveal the private key, turning the bitcoin into the object itself.

The 1st #Bitcoin user Hal Finney revealing his fatal ALS diagnosis, 16 years ago

Absolutely heartbreaking 💔

On this day in history 15 years ago, cypherpunk Hal Finney argued Bitcoin can never be replaced because,

“Any successful replacement of the Bitcoin block chain will forever undermine the credibility of any successor. How is an investor to know that it won’t happen again?”

What if you could earn Bitcoin for doing your daily Bible readings? Well now you can. Let me introduce to you, "The Orange Bible App."

I've been hard at work bringing this vision of mine to life and we are finally LIVE on the Apple App Store.

The goal is to encourage people to read the whole bible and introduce Christians to Bitcoin for doing it.

As you know since writing my book, "The Bible and Bitcoin" I've been on a mission to orange pill the church, I believe this app is the next tool to do that.

Read your Bible, earn Bitcoin. Each day you complete your reading your streak grows and you earn more. Miss a day and your streak goes to 0 and you start with the lowest reward again.

Gamified bible reading with Bitcoin. It's that simple!

Go download it now on the Apple App Store and get started. *Android is coming soon.

Most people still do not understand the significance of Digital Credit.

It may be the most important inflection point in Bitcoin’s history.

Gold-Bitcoin parity ($1.5M BTC) is in play.

Europa is a new decentralized VPN marketplace built on Nostr and paid exclusively with Bitcoin.

It launched this week from @callebtc, the developer behind the Cashu ecash protocol.

The concept is simple but the implications are significant. Instead of trusting a single VPN company with a global server fleet, one privacy policy, and one monthly subscription, Europa lets independent VPN operators list their servers on an open directory.

Each operator runs their own infrastructure in their own jurisdiction, writes their own no-log policy, and sets their own price. Users browse the directory, pick an operator, and pay them directly over Lightning or Cashu ecash. The marketplace never touches the money and takes no cut.

After payment, the operator delivers a standard WireGuard or OpenVPN config file. No proprietary app, no custom client. Users import it into the same open-source VPN software they would use anywhere else and connect. When the bundle runs out, the tunnel goes quiet. No auto-renewal, no card on file, no surprise charges.

The reputation system runs on Nostr. Instead of editorial ratings or paid placements, recommendations and complaints come from people in your social graph. Sign in with a Nostr identity and the directory weights endorsements from accounts you already follow. If Nostr is not your thing, ignore the feature entirely and start with the smallest bundle from an unfamiliar operator to limit your risk.

The entire protocol is built on public Nostr events. Operator listings, reputation data, and payment coordination all live on the Nostr network. The Europa website is just one viewer of that data, not the source. Other directories can exist. If Europa makes bad editorial choices, users can leave without losing access to the underlying marketplace. The protocol spec is CC0 (public domain) and the code is MIT licensed.

What makes this meaningful is the architecture. Traditional VPN providers consolidate trust into one company in one jurisdiction. If that company gets acquired, served with a warrant, or breached, every customer is exposed at once. Europa distributes that trust across independent operators. Users can spread their traffic across multiple operators they actually chose rather than trusting a single brand to make every decision for them.

Anyone with a server can become an operator. Anyone with a Lightning wallet can become a customer. No accounts required for either side.

More than 100 children in Uganda have a new school and classrooms thanks to donations of bitcoin. Starlight Elementary was about to close after a district inspector flagged it below ministry standard, that is, until bitcoin and new management saved it.

Here is a great interactive chart of Bitcoin's power law. The website was created by an independent researcher and a member of our community. The current annual growth of the power law floor is 37%.
