I love my girlfriends and playing dress-ups with their sunnies. I love my bougie little coastal town, Nigerian pop music, and the freedom of Bitcoin in self-custody. I love working in Bitcoin and being part of an industry that champions human rights and freedom. I love empowerment through education, and the power of knowledge. I love strong families, connected communities, and the joy of little babies and puppies. I love creating cute things, celebrating the little things, and most of all, I love my mum and dad. 🧡✨

Great list of Bitcoin books. Couldn’t find one missing. Can you?

🇦🇺 Attention Aussie Bitcoiners! 👀 The Parkes Bash is just 24 days away, and we’re pulling together the schedule! Keen to speak or share your Bitcoin story? Get in touch ASAP. Let’s make it a ripper! ₿🤠 https://t.co/9LhwmQbpgw

Australia asked for help, and the Bull Bitcoin team delivered. Fighting the same battle on the other side of the world, they shared valuable pointers for anyone yet to make a submission. Lean into Martina’s four points. They are very valuable. What Bull Bitcoin is challenging before the Conseil d’État (Council of State), France’s highest administrative court: 1. The law: Bull Bitcoin is seeking to annul Decree No. 2025-1276, which brings the EU’s DAC8 directive into French law. 2. Privacy: It argues the rules could enable a mass database of identity and address linked transaction data. 3. Physical safety: It argues a centralised database of crypto holders’ identities puts them at physical risk, citing France’s high rate of attacks on crypto holders and past breaches of French public databases. 4. Proportionality: It argues DAC8 centralises sensitive data well beyond what legitimate tax verification requires. The court rejected an emergency request to suspend the decree, but the main case is ongoing. DAC8 is the EU version of the OECD framework Australia is now legislating. Submissions on the Treasury proposal are due by midnight October 28, 2026.

International Bitcoiners, Australia needs your help, your support and your eyeballs. 👀 @francispouliot_ is fighting DAC8 in France’s highest court because centralised digital asset databases put holders at risk of kidnapping. Australia’s version may be even worse: 1. Every transaction through an Australian digital asset platform is to be reported quarterly, tied to your name and address, including moves to your own wallet (which is not a taxable event). That’s more than banks report to the Australian Taxation Office. 2. An undefined “transaction ID” that could expose your wallets and activity, forever. It’s not in the bill at all. It appears only in the explanatory notes, undefined, leaving you to guess what it means. 3. A blank cheque: the details are set later by regulation, with no vote in Parliament to approve them. Meaning any future framework, change or addition can be made with the least democratic scrutiny possible. Rushed through in 13 days, against Treasury’s average of 27. Submissions close 28 Oct. Please tag anyone who might care, share, retweet, etc.

Phases of Bitcoin podcasting: Phase 1: “Cool, this could be a great hobby and a way to learn from my guests.” Phase 2: “Wow, it’s going well. Maybe this side hustle becomes a business and I never have a boss again.” Phase 3: “Crap, I can’t take a day off. I’m now subordinate to the entire Australian Bitcoin maximalist community and quitting would let them down.” Escaped having one boss. Got 3,000 of them. 😂

Small reminder that in 2024, undermining confidence in the banking system nearly became a “serious harm” in Australia. Anyway, here’s a post undermining confidence in the banking system. 😆

How do you hold conviction when so many smart people still tell you you’re wrong? 🧡 Simple: stop just reading about Bitcoin. Start using it. Getting paid in Bitcoin, then using it to pay someone else, is when it clicks. Run your own node, verify for yourself, and conviction grows. 🔥 Proud to represent Australian Bitcoiners alongside Adam Hudson on stage at #BitcoinAsia in Hong Kong! 🇦🇺🇭🇰 Have you been paid in Bitcoin yet? 👇 #Bitcoin #HonestMoneyShow #AustralianBitcoiners #RunYourNode

Loving sharing this content on X and LinkedIn, bringing ideas to anyone willing to read that they might rarely come across otherwise. Inspired by @Handre. Just little old me, politely interrupting LinkedIn’s growth mindset content to ask who’s growing the money supply. 🤭

Tomorrow I'm releasing a bonus advocacy episode with @bayanimills, CEO of @AusBTCIndBody. Why it matters: the rules on KYC, debanking, mining and CBDCs are being written right now, and most policymakers only know Bitcoin through crypto headlines. If Bitcoiners don't show up, nothing changes in our favour. I'm removing the ads so it can reach more people. Keep an eye out, and please reshare, comment or like when it drops. Every bit helps the algorithm 🙏
