Everyone’s crying about trade barriers. But no one’s talking about the climate win: Less shipping. More local production. Global trade is one of the dirtiest things we do. Why isn’t this part of the climate conversation? #ClimateCrisis #LocalProduction #Degrowth #TradeJustice #Sustainability #CarbonFootprint

🟩 Morning reflection: The prayer of Jabez Every day I begin with this simple but powerful prayer from 1 Chronicles 4:10. It has shaped my life and guided my family for over 16 years. “Oh Lord, that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory. Let Your hand be with me, and keep me from evil — so that I may not cause pain.” I believe God hears. I’ve seen the answers — not always in my way, but always in His. May this prayer cover me, and my children. Let us live in trust and gratitude — and never be the cause of someone else’s sorrow. ⸻ #prayer #faith #JabezPrayer #blessings #trustingGod #morningdevotion #nostrprayers

From KAW65 to 🦪-s+⚓️ Sometimes a name is just a label. Other times, it’s a whisper – a riddle left for those who listen closely. I’ve stepped sideways into a symbol. Less searchable, more soulful. Not gone – just flowing in new waters. You’ll find 🦪-s+⚓️ on Nostr, and in the Lightning Network, routing sats quietly through the storm. A shell, minus a letter, plus an anchor. A nod to where I come from – if you know, you know.

Family dinner in the making – three generations around the table tonight. Slow-cooked goat with tomato, garlic and onion, Greek-inspired and full of soul. Simple ingredients, ancient flavors, and lots of love. #familydinner #goatstew #greekinspired #slowcooking #realfood #nostrfood

I don’t invest in Bitcoin — I save in it. I haven’t been holding since the early days. This isn’t about being early or lucky. Half of what I save goes into multisig, set aside for the long term — maybe even for the next generation. This isn’t about market timing or chasing gains. It’s about opting out of a broken system. #BitcoinIsSavings #OptOut #Multisig #NextGeneration

“It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark… so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark.” (Rev 13:16–17) Centralized control over identity and money is no longer science fiction — it’s policy in the making. Revelation 13 isn’t just prophecy. It’s a warning. That’s why I protect my identity on Nostr, save in Bitcoin, and support Lightning as a censorship-resistant payment network. Freedom doesn’t defend itself. #Bitcoin #LightningNetwork #Nostr #Privacy #FreedomTech #Rev13 #CensorshipResistance #DigitalID #CBDC #SurveillanceState

💭 Reading Ephesians 6:10–17 reminded me of something deep today. We never really know what others are facing. Some hurt us because they’re hurting. Some fall because they’re exhausted. This isn’t a fight against people — it’s a fight against darkness. 🛡️ God gave us armor for a reason: Truth. Righteousness. Peace. Faith. Salvation. His Word. So I choose not to judge. I choose to pray. I choose to love. The victory is God’s. But we stand in the fight today. #GraceInBattle #ArmorOfGod #LoveFirst #SpiritualWarfare #Ephesians6 #JesusIsKing

“How long do we tolerate channel partners who don’t raise fees when their side is completely drained? This hurts routing incentives and wastes capital. Seriously, are they hoping for divine rebalancing or just asleep at the wheel? See screenshot. #LightningNetwork #Bitcoin #Routing #NodeOperators #LiquidityMatters #Nostr”

📢 Nostr Post: Xapo Bank – Your Experience? “Hey Nostr community! 👋 I’ve been testing Xapo Bank for a while now and wanted to share my thoughts while also hearing from others. ✅ What I Like: • 4% APY on USD and 1% APY on BTC – solid yield compared to alternatives. • Lightning integration – makes spending BTC seamless. • Mastercard with BTC & USD spending – works well, but I’m still testing FX rates. • Competitive FX rates, but I’m keeping an eye on real-world performance. ❌ Concerns & Limitations: • Not your keys, not your coins – I don’t feel comfortable putting too much BTC in any bank. • KYC & custodial risk – it’s convenient, but still a centralized entity. • Withdrawal limits & fees – still assessing if there are any unexpected costs. • Mastercard FX rates & cashback – seem decent, but I wonder if there’s a hidden spread. ❓ Open Questions: • How do you handle tax reporting for BTC to USD swaps? • Do you use Xapo as a primary spending account, or just for specific purposes? • How do their FX rates compare to alternatives over time? • What other solutions do you use for BTC & USD banking? • Any thoughts on Xapo Mastercard vs. other BTC debit cards? Would love to hear your experiences! ⚡ #Xapo #Bitcoin #Lightning #BitcoinBanking #NotYourKeysNotYourCoins”
