April Recap at Dream Grad Academy – Research, Reflection, and Room to Grow
Dream Grad Academy is a @npub17cy…4ml3 Light Node providing beginner Bitcoin education and building a learning community around Bitcoin and health. After a succesful pilot cohort of learners in the ten week diploma, 2 learners are going on to participate in educator training in the coming weeks.
Addtional notable projects in development include MedSchlr, an early-stage Nostr-native health sciences publishing platform, alongside an expanding portfolio of student-led research. April brought that momentum into public view.
Nashville, Tennessee: Bitcoin and Health Forum -April
A sincere thank you to @npub17kw…jl36 for welcoming one of our nursing student and putting on a world class event at Bitcoin Park. We asked her to reflect on what she experienced:
"As a student who has only been involved in the Bitcoin and health scene for a couple of months, it was inspiring to see so many unique physicians and healthcare professionals speak up about their experiences and contributions to this emerging field. Ideas that struck me most were the misguided incentivization of medicine, the lack of price transparency in health services, the over-emphasis of sickcare over genuine healthcare, the need for Bitcoiners in health to have low time preference, and the importance of building a new system rather than reforming a corrupted one. I look forward to building more connections with innovative Bitcoiners in the future." - Moon, K.
Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact McMaster Research Day — April 28
DGA students presented four posters representing some of the earliest work in decentralized health. A Healthy Aging and Society thesis student presented preliminary findings on the scholarly publishing landscape underpinning MedSchlr. Graduate students presented a theory-based poster and live demo of decentralized publishing on Nostr. Undergraduate nursing students presented preliminary findings from the Bitcoin merchant adoption study, currently under ethics review.
Four posters. Five student researchers. One emerging field.
What April tells us:
When DGA was founded, virtually no peer-reviewed literature existed at the intersection of Bitcoin, Nostr, and health. April is evidence that we are on a path to changing that, student by student, conference by conference.

Completing Dream Grad Academy’s first @npub17cy…4ml3 diploma cohort this month would not have been possible without the dedicated commitment of @nprofile…tq6l. The eight‑week curriculum was a true learning journey, not only for our students but for us as well.
If you’re unsure where to start with a grassroots Bitcoin educational effort for beginners, I highly recommend reading the article below!
I look forward to building on the lessons learned and connecting with others bringing bitcoin education to their communities.

So one initial question we may explore in our team research could be: So makes me think for the Research abstract submission we discussed at the team meeting, one possible literature scoping review question that could be examined is:
What evidence exists regarding stakeholder participation (academics, clinicians, patients, and public) in the design, governance, and feature development of health and medical scientific repositories?

2025-12-15 19:13:02 UTC

- reply

My key takeaways similar to yours:
User-Centered Design in Academic Systems
"Academics from within the discipline should be included in the design process, so that the system fits their patterns of work, and conceptual categories, rather than being imposed based on some alien categorical scheme."
— James Boyle, "Mertonianism Unbound? Imagining Free, Decentralized Access to Most Cultural and Scientific Material"
This principle extends beyond academics. For MedSchlr to truly serve as a knowledge commons, we must involve a range of users—including the public and the Nostr community—in co-creating features that meet their needs for accessing, understanding, and engaging with health research.
Open Architecture as Innovation Engine
"Wherever possible, design the system to run with open content, on open protocols, to be potentially available to the largest possible number of users, and to accept the widest possible range of experimental modifications from users who can themselves determine the development of the technology. Then sit back and wait to see what emerges."
— James Boyle (citing Eric Von Hippel's work on user-based innovation)
This collaborative approach—combining open access with decentralized protocols—challenges us to question the centralized architecture of existing structures and guides our development philosophy for MedSchlr.

Thanks for bringing this paper to my attention! So many key points.
Boyle's paper is such a great read for thinking about how to approach a Nostr-native knowledge commons in health and medical sciences.

The Invisible Health Tax: How Fiat Makes Us Sick?
What if your constant stress, burnout, and health issues weren’t just about work, diet, or “self-care”…
…but about the money system you live inside of?
In this episode of The Signal, Dr Satoshi (an American hospitalist) and I sit down — to explore her new work on “The Invisible Health Tax.
This conversation delves into:
- How fiat money quietly creates chronic stress and sickness
- The idea of a “mitochondrial tax” — the energy drain on your cells caused by unsound money
- Why inflation is linked to worse mental health, lower life expectancy, and burnout
- How Bitcoin’s predictable monetary policy can lower background stress and change health trajectories
The role of truth, sovereignty, and alignment in healing
And Emma’s new project with Dream Grad Academy, the Bitcoin Health Network — a hub connecting Bitcoin-aware health & wellness professionals with people who want sound money and sound health
Along the way Dr Satoshi shares his own story of working more and more hospital shifts to keep up with fiat debasement… and how discovering Bitcoin changed my health, relationships, and sense of inner peace.
If you’ve ever felt that your money and your nervous system are more connected than anyone talks about — this conversation will resonate.

The highlighting feature in some Nostr clients is cool especially when you want to take note of cool ideas and pointing out typos etc.
I’m still learning how to use all the various features, like highlighting. Learn by doing with experimentation and error correction.

I appreciated the conversation. 🧡
On the note of unsound money and stress, I also write about this in my article ‘The Invisible Health Tax’ with additional detail and discussion.
The framing of a disease care system is very clear. I hope more Canadians grapple with this perspective to consider a new paradigm based on sound money.

Low-key Sunday. Catching up on a few pods. Another banger from @npub1tdu…8k5l this week about healthcare systems and stories of exorbitant payments and wait times for crucial healthcare services. Learn how Bitcoin can fix some of these issues with Andy Schoonover from @nprofile…yauf.
For people in contexts with more universal healthcare systems like in Canada and UK, Bitcoin is still relevant even though it may seem that healthcare is free. Someone has to pay and it’s through taxes and revenues at federal and more local levels (provinces etc.).
Imagine if local regions had bitcoin reserves to help fund heathcare? Could this lower the tax dollar spend on healthcare? More importantly, what would healthcare look like if people save in bitcoin and pool their monies? @nprofile…yauf gives us an opportunity to see what’s possible.

The beginning discussion during this pod reminds of how much the school of thought or theories we cling to can shape a given field.
Like in economics health sciences and medicine are full of competing schools of thought when it comes to the cause, treatment, and prevention of certain diseases.
Drawing on some recent Nostr discussions, could germ theory be the Keynesian equivalent built on fiat incentives clouding the way in which mainstream approaches the study of disease, prevention, and treatment of disease? Saifedean in his writings on fiat science touches on some of this.
While the Boomer discussion doesn’t focus on health it presents a lively chat on related topics that have implications for human life.

Yesterday marked a major milestone for Dream Grad Academy (DGA). With @nprofile…pk2l we were able to give a lecture on a Canadian campus to a classroom full of global health students!
They learned about BTC circular economies and how bitcoin can empower the unbanked. Over 10 students signed up to take the 1-hr @npub17cy…4ml3 course with DGA in November.
After this, DGA aims to gather a cohort of students to do the 10-week My First Bitcoin diploma.
Excited for the possibilities! Big thanks to Beyli and the Mac Global Health program!

Fiat money in particular. Money will not solve health problems alone but is a tool that can be used to help maintain a healthy lifestyle and build healthy environments.
If the money that one works for is taxed through inflation this potentially has negative consequences. If you have time to look at the article, figure 2 shows how fiat money might impact health.

Great, I appreciate your feedback once you get a chance to read it. Yes, there is anecdotal proof of people becoming more spiritual. For example, Dr Satoshi, a real physician talks about this on his YouTube channel among other related changes people experience once they start adopting bitcoin in their lives.
I agree that video proofs and documentaries are powerful tools to show the importance and truth about bitcoin. I think we’ll see more productions coming out in the future that will intrigue people to learn more about it.

The article is geared towards those who are in the healthcare field, with the aim to trying to introduce the idea that unsound money may be a factor contributing to health outcomes.
You raise a good point. I think much of mass culture these days has left many without a spiritual compass. However, for some finding better money (I.e Bitcoin) does lead to some sort of spiritual transformation. Perhaps if more people adopt bitcoin there could be an uptick of people finding their spiritual side. But agree that a bigger moral/spiritual void is pervasive in many societies today.

Regarding the acetaminophen question and epistemology, I think another dimension that warrants consideration is publication bias. A major problem is that studies that find null or negative findings don’t even get published. Prada et al. (2025) even mention this as a limitation of their evidence synthesis on the topic.
Therefore if findings of ignored studies often never make it to clinical evidence synthesis investigations or public discourse, could recognition of such help to develop a shared epistemological framework for evaluating medical information in public knowledge commons like the internet and social media?

Agreed. Bitcoin exposes truth whereas fiat has a tendency to distort it. Once people realize that Bitcoin is an economic system that tries to account for truth, they then question 1) where else in my life have I not been seeking truth or didn’t know about the truth; 2) how can I do better in my life. That’s why there are many anecdotes from Bitcoiners that report changing their health habits after holding bitcoin because they realize they were following diets or advice that was not conducive to the truth of their bodies. Also, they take more personal responsibility over their lives then they did before rather than exporting to others. I find this is fascinating. There is something about fiat money that is indeed unhealthy that warrants more examination and discussion.

🔬 Hey #DocChain
Thank you for your great interest in MedSchlr. Here is a more updated draft description on what’s being built considering all the engagement and valuable feedback provided so far.🙏
MedSchlr: A Decentralized Health and Medical Information Publishing Repository Powered by Alexandria from @nprofile…xkmf
Estimated Genesis: Block 890, 915
Created by health professionals and researchers, health advocates, Bitcoiners, and @nprofile…xkmf
Abstract
The Problem:
Currently, finding reliable health and medical information online is challenging. Search engines often show biased results influenced by third parties, and many health and medical related databases are controlled by entities with their own interests. While there have been attempts to create open access health and medical information repositories, they still rely on traditional internet platforms that can control what information people see.
The Technology:
MedSchlr is built on two key technologies:
1) Alexandria - This is a specialized editor and generator for creating and sharing long-form content using the Nostr protocol.
Source: https://alexandria.gitcitadel.eu
Using an instance of Alexandria to build MedSchlr, allows for the creation of an interactive health and medical information repository.
2) Nostr (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) - This is an open protocol that enables truly decentralized communication. Unlike traditional platforms, nostr allows users to share information without relying on any central authority. It works through a network of relay servers that help transmit messages, making it resistant to censorship and control. Key Pairs and Authentication - Users have public-private key pairs that allow them to sign their notes cryptographically. This ensures that all shared information can be verified as coming from legitimate sources, while allowing users to maintain control over their identity and content.
source: https://nostr.com
By leveraging Alexandria and nostr, we can directly minimize the problems of centralized control and biased information in healthcare. Nostr's decentralized protocol ensures that no single entity can control or censor health and medical information, while Alexandria's specialized platform enables the creation of more open and interactive content. This combination creates a resilient system where health and medical knowledge can be shared freely and transparently.
Solution: MedSchlr
Using Alexandria and nostr, we're building an app where:
A) Open source historical and current published health-related and medical information (articles, books, blogs etc.) is available with interactive features for reader engagement and commenting
B) Users can publish, find, and read credible health and medical writings such as habla.news/u/kamoweasel@primal.net and https://www.runningapollo.com/whitepaper
C) Educational health and medical content and videos, blogs, etc. are easily accessible
D) User profile types (badges) to distinguish note publisher credentials to add a layer of social trust
E) Healthcare professionals/researchers can raise funding for health and medical research as well as initiatives through zaps
Our goal is to create a decentralized, censorship-resistant app that broadens access to health and medical knowledge. By combining open protocols with peer review/social trust mechanisms, we aim to build a resource where healthcare professionals and users can collaborate, share quality information, and advance health and medical understanding minimizing interference from centralized authorities or commercial interests.
App Development Timeline
MedSchlr is currently participating in the Nosfabrica challenge to kickstart initial development. Development is occurring incrementally thus starting with a MVP and then evolving from there. If you haven't indicated interest already and are interested in contributing to this project, please note your interest by May 1st, 2025.
Future Vision
Looking ahead, we envision Medschlr evolving to revolutionize how health and medical knowledge is published, shared, reviewed and interpreted with. Future iterations could transform the traditional peer review process by:
- Reducing bureaucratic barriers while maintaining rigorous scientific standards
- Creating more transparent review processes
- Minimizing institutional bias
- Enabling faster dissemination of important and health and medical findings
-Engaging various users types
This reimagined approach to publishing could help accelerate the advancement of health and medical knowledge while maintaining the highest standards of scientific integrity.

First we are aiming to build a knowledge base of health information (peer reviewed articles, blogs, etc). So at first it might be more provider/ researcher oriented (e.g. exchanging ideas on medical and health science publications) but could prove to be helpful for doctor and patient communications around health evidence.

Thank you for your questions. To clarify it is meant to be a repository for health information like peer reviewed articles, blogs, etc. That’s why it’s being built on Alexandria. The aim is to have a censorship resistant place where people can publish, and comment on medical/health related content. Could also potentially be used for information sharing between patient and provider.

The Nosfabrica team @nprofile…yykk @nprofile…8j5k @nprofile…uqa2 is currently running the SALUD Decentralized Health App Development Challenge, focussing on decentralizing healthcare and health information. Currently a team of us is developing, MedSchlr, an innovative app designed to decentralize medical and health knowledge sharing and publishing using Nostr Alexandria.
We are actively seeking health professionals to join our team! Your clinical and/or research expertise and insights would be invaluable in ensuring MedSchlr meets real-world needs and maintains high standards.
Interested in joining the MedSchlr team? Send the Nosfabrica team or Emma a note or message by May 1st, 2025.

Fear is a powerful drug for many

2025-04-16 15:46:46 UTC

Reading old health texts pre-1900s, some things are so wrong but some observations are so right….
“Fear….It takes from him reflection, power, resolution and judgment; and in short all that dignity and greatness of soul… It has great influence on occasioning, aggravating and producing disease.” - Gunn’s Domestic Medicine (1836)
If we cared to promote health in our environments we would reduce fear appeals in media and take a constructive approach to communicating problems in a way that engenders a sense of agency that we can overcome.
nostr provides a beautiful protocol that allows us to overcome the tendency to stoke fear and exchange ideas in thoughtful discourse. Is it perfect no but it presents a meaningful alternative.
Thankful for all of the developers and content creators who are moving this bright future ahead. Freedom tech helps us move beyond fear.

@nprofile…am9l following up on the previous note, do you have an hour this month or in March for a chat about how BTC is being integrated into Healthforce?

That’s awesome! I’m working on some long form writing on Bitcoin and Health. I’ll be keen to reach out in the new year to highlight what Healthforce is doing should you/ the organization be interested.

Is Bitcoin accepted as payment for services? I’m trying to identify forward thinking health services that accept BTC.

Does anyone have any good book recommendations or reading material that examines the importance of having standards in communication or value exchange?
I am exploring the benefits of universal measurement systems like for time and how they have helped society in value exchange etc. I would like to make the same arguments for money.

I recently gave a presentation about Bitcoin to an academic audience highlighting the disparity of wages/incomes and houses prices in a western setting. A comment was made about sticky prices and wages. If I am understanding the theory correctly house prices for example are more sensitive to economic changes and wages in contrast lag. If this is indeed true then doesn’t this mean that inflation is bad then?
As a non-economist, to me it seems clear that on a Bitcoin standard wages paid in bitcoin would rise overtime and prices would fall due to deflation and the monetary premium of things such as houses would go down thus reducing the disparity between wages and house prices. Would sticky prices in wages/income still be a concern in a Bitcoinized world if we do get there?
Trying to understand this better as I refine my presentations on Bitcoin. https://image.nostr.build/4d705ad2e1b324acb9ce5fc8e1bc63da4e7cfdd9f2c81143527d5173c0485cff.jpg

It can be nerve wracking to share your story and views when it feels like very few people from your discipline or field of study may not see things the same way.
I had the opportunity yesterday to sit down with an awesome podcaster to share some of my thoughts.
I hope to get better at conveying my ideas to contribute to larger conversations on how we can improve health an social well-being at individual and population levels.
Bitcoin as a fundamental socioeconomic base layer provides an opportunity to restore incentives in the health and social sectors. What does health care and associated systems look like on a Bitcoin standard?
I don’t fully know but given the principles of Bitcoin, it brings power back to the individual and necessary goods and services may be more decentralized providing more choice. Also, communities may be able to build better and thrive around their core values.

Are you involved in or know of any Bitcoin mining projects in the Caribbean? Or developing a conceptual framework on how one would be implemented in a local context within the region? If so, consider submitting an abstract to the 2024 Canadian Caribbean Institute Research symposium.
I would be happy to help draft an abstract showcasing your work to highlight any of the following: How Bitcoin incentivizes use of renewable energy; 2) stabilizes energy grids etc; 3) Potential benefits that could contribute to community resilience especially in the face of natural disasters etc.; The abstract deadline is close so for anyone who is interested in a collab we would need to connect soon. Feel free to DM me here.
Let’s engage in the discourse on climate change to show how Bitcoin can help redress the way we think about climate, energy, and sustainability.

Accidentally zapped myself not realizing that the zap button on primal is so automatic once loaded with sats. Time to zap three random people to make up for the three self zaps. Learning new tech is fun but also requires patience, experimentation, and error correction.

After a year of observing the evolution of Nostr for almost a year, here is my first post! Testing, testing, 1,2,3.
