🧡 Clip from the latest Share Your Bitcoin Journey with @Thomas Forsyth

“It’s this really difficult thing to describe or fully grasp until you start playing around with it… There’s a lot to feel pessimistic about in the world right now. But at the same time, things like Nostr, Lightning, and Bitcoin feel like green shoots of hope coming through.”

Tom on why these tools feel like real sources of hope — not theory, but something you start to feel once you actually use them.


What’s giving you real hope right now in Bitcoin or Nostr?

🧡 New Episode — Share Your Bitcoin Journey EP7

London-based designer, maker & engineer @Thomas Forsyth joins us for a wide-ranging conversation on building a creative practice across wood, metal, electronics, props, and kinetic sculpture — all while staying true to craft.
Tom shares:

Discovering Bitcoin three separate times before it finally clicked
Why physical making and Bitcoin share a deep philosophical backbone (“There’s something very Bitcoin about that”)
The first time Lightning settled a bill in a London restaurant
How Nostr reawakened his urge to make work for himself again
Advice for younger makers that has almost nothing to do with making

A thoughtful episode on low time preference, sound craft, and building outside the platform economy.

Big thanks to @Bitcoin FilmFest for screening our Bitcoin For The Arts intro video at the conference! 🙏

Super cool catching it on the big screen — grateful they gave us the platform to share the mission of funding sovereign artists with sound money and low time-preference patronage.

The Bitcoin + Arts intersection is only getting stronger. Excited for what’s next!

🧡 Clip from the latest Share Your Bitcoin Journey with @Joe Martin

“I try my best to be efficient with words… I’ve reached the best version of the song when there’s nothing left to take away — not when there’s nothing more to add.”

Joe on the craft of songwriting: stripping away the excess until only what’s essential remains, with the goal of telling a three-hour movie in three minutes.

It’s a beautiful reminder that great art often comes from subtraction, not addition.

Watch the clip:

What’s one song that feels like it has “nothing left to take away”?
