I think I just found my new favorite VPN with @nprofile…tu3r
No email required, payments over Lightning, and a two-party design that separates your identity from your browsing by using Mullvad exit nodes.

I've been using Qwen 3.8 27b on my local machine for a bit and it's pretty solid! For ease of use I've got it in Bionic (made by LM Studio) which acts as an agent for whatever models you run - able to make files, folders, call tools, link in MCP servers, build apps, build repetitive skills, etc.
The other cool thing is that you can use LM link to share models with any of your other computers - both locally and globally.
I covered it all in this video. If you have yet to dive into the world of local AI, this is the video for you. I start simple, then build up a knowledge base throughout. Please enjoy, and share if you find it useful!

I've been using the Freedomia card at home and traveling to various countries the past few months. Living on a Bitcoin standard is a lot easier with this thing.
-no kyc
-load in minutes with lightning, liquid or on-chain
-as many cards as you want
-each card is up to $5000 USD/month
Pretty badass. Video is here. LMK what you think.

2026-08-21 15:12:10 UTC

In this new tutorial I use Silent.Link to get a private eSim on my Graphene phone, using Bitcoin.
One global eSIM with no expiry dates, data around the world, and if you want - inbound SMS with a dedicated number. All paid in Bitcoin, top up any time via lightning. No name, no email, no KYC.
Enjoy the vid, give a share, and LMK what you think.

Logically it should work, but honestly I've lost all trust.

2026-08-11 15:34:45 UTC

This past week was a nightmare and forced me to reexamine a lot of my assumptions and threat models. Two topics bubbled to the top alot that I thought warranted videos... so I got to work.
How do you use dice to generate your own entropy when creating keys? This video uses dice and the @nprofile…w6hy to accomplish just that, while verifying using an external tool.
https://youtu.be/oMDPMZL5xLw
Putting trust in a single hardware vendor means having all your eggs in one basket. One tactic may be to keep some of your corn in different devices. Another may be to combine them into a multi-vendor multisig. This video goes through doing the latter - on Sparrow with Trezor, Jade and @nprofile…0kcc , then on mobile with @nprofile…4lkm @nprofile…w6hy and @nprofile…g8xl Jade.
https://youtu.be/Ja3ETXLmklI
There's no perfect answer for EVERYONE, but it's worth exploring your options and seeing what works for you.
BTW if you are finding these videos helpful, ALL of my tutorials will now be uploaded to Sovereign Sessions. Join me there:

Today I launched Sovereign Sessions with 3 new freedom tech tutorials.
LM Studio:
How do you start with the basics of running AI locally on your laptop? What do all the fancy terms mean? What is your hardware capable of running and where does it fall short? Find out here.
https://youtu.be/vuii4FjH59g
GrapheneOS:
The looming threat of OS level age verification, paired with the always-on tracking of Apple and Google are enough to make a lot of people look for an alternative. Graphene is one of the most private OS options for mobile out there. Here's how to install and use it.
https://youtu.be/DXLAFrCVoEg
Umbrel Pro:
When people refer to sovereign computing, it can include a lot of things. Hosting your own files, photos, media, passwords, AI agents, Bitcoin node, etc. The Umbrel Pro is an accessible plug and play way to start setting foot in that world. Here's how to set up and navigate one as you start your journey.
https://youtu.be/DFWZbTz5mW0
This channel will also be the new home for my Bitcoin tutorials - of which I have a dice roll/Seedsigner video and a multi-vendor multisig video both coming out on Tuesday.

The funny thing about this is that this term must be VERY jurisdictionally sensitive. I've been to Bitcoin events around the would and this is the first time I've ever heard of someone being offended by it. In fact many conferences have attendees organize side events called pleb parties - including European ones. There was just a pleb party in Prague 2 weeks ago.
Here in Canada the word is so mundane that it would be similar to someone calling you bud or dude, or at worst a light hearted self deprecating reference to being less affluent.

2026-06-27 19:56:00 UTC

Today is the official 10 year anniversary of BTC Sessions. Hard to believe I uploaded my first tutorial back in 2016. Thanks for an amazing decade.

That's kind of the point though. It's a recognition that the fiat elites believe they are above everyone, but bitcoiners take insults and wear them as a badge of honor so they lose their power. Plenty of examples of this.
Bitcoin maxi was an insult from Vitalik.
Some pundit on X called everyone 80IQ.
The skull of Satoshi was funded by xrp/Greenpeace to ruin Bitcoin's public image.
All of them were embraced and became part of the meme culture.

I don't know why I'm put in anti. I should be listed at neutral, given I've not publicly stated an opinion, created tutorials on both node implementations, and said people should research to decide what one they want to run.

I'm testing out @nprofile…tu3r right now. No ID, no email address, paid in bitcoin. Randomly generated account number can be used across multiple devices. So far so good!

I'll do a tutorial on this over on Sovereign Sessions when it launches. You can pre-emptively subscribe here:
https://www.youtube.com/@SovereignSessions?sub_confirmation=1

2026-06-19 15:14:18 UTC

As a reminder, you can get sats without ID (which are the best kind of sats!)
I've been messing around with @nprofile…ac87 now that they added lightning and it's pretty seamless. Definitely worth testing if anyone gets the chance. I'll have a tutorial for that when Sovereign Sessions launches this August, but it's basically the same flow as on-chain with some small differences.

Not a fan of spam, working every day to use Bitcoin as money and encourage others to do the same.
I'll advocate for people running the implementation they choose after a healthy amount of DYOR.

I've got a Linux machine to experiment with, but my main work computer for media creation is a Mac. Was just wondering if it's possible to use something like docker to install carefully without handing over access to the whole system.

2026-06-06 08:36:09 UTC

What's a reasonably secure way to use Hermes? Does it have to be on a segregated machine, or is there a good way to sandbox it on your main computer? How difficult is it to give the agent selective access and have it still be useful?

2026-06-06 08:32:17 UTC

It's pretty neat that I'm sitting here in Europe, hit the zap button while browsing Nostr, and it triggers a lightning payment from my node back home in Canada. Magic!

One of the coolest things this year at @nprofile…7emy was seeing the hunger people have for hands on education and personal responsibility.
Our team with @nprofile…g97c was a little tucked away in the open source area, but people found us, flooded in, filled the seats, lined the walls, and sat on the floor. They learned cold storage, privacy, multisig, and so much more.
Remember, just because the suits and feds are here, doesn't mean the self sovereign bitcoiners have gone away. Looking forward to doing this again.

IMO bitcoiners need to start accepting and directly incentivizing people to pay them in bitcoin. Charge extra for fiat because it is trash. Support others who create quality products and accept bitcoin for them. Be the change. If bitcoiners themselves refuse to use bitcoin as money then why would anyone else on earth do it first?

Bitcoin as just an investment changes nothing. The printer runs, wealth gets siphoned, empires expand - buying all the resources and assets with their paper lies.
With Bitcoin as money, the monopoly on printing disappears and the kleptocratic base layer implodes.

I've had multiple people ask me for help getting into Bitcoin within the past month... During this price dump. I've never had this during a bear market before.
Is anyone else experiencing this, or just me?

That's not for the wallet. That's for the exchange.

I educate about self custody all the time - that's pretty much my main thing. Not a fan of "exposure" through ETFs and treasury companies. Never tell people to buy them, and in the live shows often discuss the difference when catering to new people in the room.
Self custody or bust.

I actually think it will come from the vendor side first. If there is a realization how bad fiat currency is they will create incentives for people to pay in Bitcoin, create disincentives to pay in fiat, or just flat out refuse to accept fiat.
For my business we've played around with models. A discount for Bitcoin payments only resulted in around 5-10% of people paying in sats. When we have a steep fiat PREMIUM it moves to 50/50.

Ok continue on with this line of thinking. If Bitcoin is so insanely valuable (which I agree with) then why on earth would anyone hold ANY amount of dollars beyond the very moment you need to obtain them to pay a fiat denominated expense?
It's not that I want to spend my Bitcoin, it's that I hate dollars so much that's I don't have any, and I MUST spend my Bitcoin.
Furthermore, I charge a large premium if anyone wants to pay for my services in dollars instead of Bitcoin.

If you have any dollars to spend, you have too many.

You're overthinking it. If anyone tried to argue you own a full coinjoin round it would be trivial to disprove that.
