Good Morning Everyone,
I hope this note finds you all well.
I think my last letter was in September last year just prior to beginning a full time (and full on) software engineering course. So It’s been a while between drinks. I’m sorry for the lack of comms and basically just ghosting here. I had every intention of communicating that i would not be writing during the course, but then I just never got around to it and other forces took over - primarily economic forces.
I think the most pertinent thing to mention is that absolutely nothing has changed from the perspective of bitcoin, aside from the desperate need for it to be better understood by the wider “mainstream” population as quickly as possible to help us short circuit the madness currently exhibited and becoming terrifyingly normalised in clown world.
In my humble opinion, there is nothing more important for humanity than ensuring the proliferation of bitcoin across the world and it’s my intention to dedicate my life to that mission.
With this in mind, i have created my own podcast called Reject The Frame where i will host conversations with a central focus toward bitcoin and anti-rug technology.
You can find the pod in the usual places, but the best way to listen is via fountain where you will earn sats while you do.
The podcast is a purely value for value endeavour so if you find it valuable please consider streaming some sats to communicate the value to me. This is the way 🧡
I also wanted to quickly mention NOSTR (Notes and other stuff transmitted via relays) which i discuss at length in the pod. It’s basically a protocol to enable censorship resistant comms, and the first use case leveraging this right now is social media apps - called clients. But overtime nostr will extend far beyond just this.
For iOS users download Damus and android users should checkout Amethyst.
There is no KYC required (how it should be!) and it works on public key / private key keypairs. You can find me using either my NIP05 identifier which looks like an email address and is: ak@rejecttheframe.xyz or my public key - npub1xjfd6s75j63r0azyrlvqrag83d34gtp7zk8la2grevpq5xh5llws9lwuey.
Once you have a client installed and create your own keypair I recommend downloading Wallet of Satoshi and linking it to your nostr profile so people can ZAP⚡️ you sats and you can feel the magic. Please tag me once you do this so i can personally!!
Another good resource to help with nostr is https://nostr-resources.com/.
With that said, i’d be honoured if you’d take a listen to the pod, and share it with as many people as possible. Wishing you all well 🧡
Hope you have a great day, and look forward to talking to you soon!

I will take a look at this tomorrow and listen to the pod. Looks very interesting.
If anyone needs any help getting started with nostr just msg me here and i should be able to help you get up and running
