Recent Notes

I don't give to charity.

Collection box in town? I walk past.

Not because I don't care. Because I never know how much of it reaches anyone.

This time I made an exception. An orphanage in Uganda, paid in bitcoin.

I only knew him from X. Never met him.

So I said: one donation. I accept I might lose it. Just send me a photo of what it does.

I got a video. Kids holding a big yellow sign: "Hello brother Mario".

That hit harder than I expected.

Netherlands to Uganda.

No bank in between. No waiting days.

Nobody could stop it. Nobody took a cut on the way.

That's what bitcoin is for.

The Dutch box 3 overhaul is not law yet. The draft is.

From 2028: 36 percent tax on your actual yearly result.

Stocks: taxed when you sell.

Bitcoin in your own wallet: taxed on paper gains every year, expected until 2030.

We ran an example for a parent.

50k euro in savings, 50k euro in bitcoin. Bitcoin goes up 50 percent.

Current 2026 rules: 880.54 euro tax.

2028 proposal: 10,872 euro.

Without selling a single sat.

The bitcoin you stack for your kid? It counts with you. The child gets no exemption of its own.

Inflation is ignored too.

We put the rules, the open questions and a tool to run your own numbers in one place. Not advice, just math.

Saw a tweet from @Arnolnymous this afternoon: "1 donation fuels 51 projects."

Sent 10,000 sats from BitcoinStuffStore right away.

What I like most: you can check the math.

Our 10,000 sats:

5,000 to My First Bitcoin
550 each to ranks 1 to 5
100 each to ranks 6 to 20
25 each to ranks 21 to 50

Ranked on public proof of work. Soweto BTC, School of Satoshi, Bitcoin Paraguay.

Dutch name on there too: Kirscha, at 29.

Ranking freezes end of 2026, payout Feb 2027. Still an experiment.

The split is public up front. That I trust.

Bitcoin spreads through someone explaining it calmly. That's what these 50 do.

Keystone reported a breach of its webshop on October 24.

Names, contact details, shipping addresses and order details were taken.

According to Keystone, seeds, private keys and payment data were not exposed.

So your bitcoin is fine.

The risk is what comes next: an email, letter or phone call that knows exactly what you ordered.

That makes a scammer sound real.

It doesn't make them real.

No manufacturer, shop or support desk will ever ask for your seed.

A replacement device you didn't order stays in the box.

Firmware only through the official app you open yourself.

Our own shop automatically erases customer details from completed orders after about a month. Invoices stay for 7 years, as Dutch tax law requires.

Worth adding Keystone's later update (Oct 26, covered by Cointelegraph Oct 27), because it changes the "your bitcoin is fine" part for some buyers: - The attacker came in through a third-party monitoring tool on the site and also took the WebAuth key, the key that makes a device pass Keystone's aut...

The money printers run at full speed.

A father waits in line for bread with his wages, and the price goes up while he waits.

That's how Bitcoin Blitz opens. An arcade shooter by Noderunner Brinkie (@onthebrinkie). I'm a bit hooked.

The bosses:

The Tax Extractor.
The Data Broker.
The Money Printer.
The Dollar Revenant, flooding the field with "liquidity".

And the final boss, the Big Boss of International Settlements.

Guess who that's supposed to be.

21 levels. Local co-op, two players on one screen. Free demo in your browser, Steam release coming.

Play it with that friend you've been trying to orange pill for years.

Easier than an hour on debasement.

Two real arcade cabinets tour bitcoin meetups.

Play for free, or pay with Lightning for credits and go for the high score and the jackpot.

Every paid session makes the jackpot bigger.

Insert sats. Start the run.

Brinkie builds it in public with the Noderunners. @LightningPiggy is one of the sponsors.
