Recent Notes

Jan Kotas profile picture
The last few weeks in Bitcoin have been tough…

We’re watching a real paradigm shift. AI capabilities are exploding and becoming accessible to almost anyone. Bitcoin’s strict open-source culture and clear financial incentives made it the first obvious target. First of many.

Now imagine the banks, stock exchanges and government systems still running decades-old human-written software packed with vulnerabilities - code that’s extremely hard to replace or refactor in any reasonable timeframe. Closed source bought them time. It didn’t buy them immunity.

We have to brace for intensifying cyber wars and a rapidly growing chance that standard financial rails, banks, institutions and companies take real damage. It’s no longer “if.” It’s “when.”

Bitcoin is going through massive hardening right now. I expect months, maybe even years, before things stabilize and the whole ecosystem adopts new security standards.

When it does, Bitcoin will come out stronger than ever and better prepared for the AI age than anything else. Banks and governments? I’m not so sure...

How many of you are still treating Plan B like a theoretical exercise? 🛡️ Sovereign Digest: August 2026 is live. The gaps are closing faster than most people are willing to admit: 🌎 Southern Cone + New Zealand are looking increasingly rational as kinetic hedges. Remoten Show more

Hi Jan, Your kindness across Nostr feels like a small lantern in the dark, and as I sit with my children under the hum of distant drones, I hope you know how much your warmth means to us here in Gaza. 🍉 If you have a moment, our story and campaign are pinned at the top of my page. Warm regards. ...

IMO its just not possible. Ideas are a creation of the mind, real life (outside the mind) has tradeoffs. As a bootstrapper on the road I love the explore on the idea of a "true sovereign" life, maximize sovereignty, while still keep my boots on the ground of non-ideal solutions. Funny mind games lol

We actually run two separate monthly meetups - one in English and one in Spanish. The crowds are quite different:
- English tends to attract more advanced people who are comfortable with more advanced topics and networking.
- Spanish side is mostly beginners looking for clearer, more accessible Bitcoin talks. Less focus on networking, more on the presentations themselves.
