Recent Notes

Martien profile picture
👋🏻 This is my last note for the foreseeable future.

Reflecting on the past year, the best thing I did was quit the last traditional social media platform I was still on: Instagram.

I also took a pause from Nostr during the summer… and came to the conclusion that social media — in any form — just isn’t for me. I was diagnosed with ADHD not that long ago (I’m 40+ years old), something I knew for a long time already, but the confirmation shifted my focus quite a bit.

Over the last quarter, the focus has been on building and improving my businesses, and that’s what the plan is for 2026 as well: creating real-world value with things I’m good at and genuinely enjoy doing. Alongside that, the priority is spending more time with the people closest to me.

There’s also a plan to work on speaking skills… scary, but exciting.

So, in short: social media is no longer worth the time and energy. Brain cycles are already burning fast enough without having to process the opinions of total strangers.

Stay humble, stack sats, and remember: it’s not you, it’s me ❤️

Is proton mail to go to for a decent email client? #asknostr

Martien @martien
Im using proton mail for 8 months now, there are some considerations:

On desktop you can use the mail bridge, so you can use any mail client you want. But that means running an extra piece of software.

On mobile you’re stuck with the proton mail app, no options there.

You cannot in a supported way use it with other apps or software that needs to access your mailbox for reading your or any other mailbox (for automations or automatically importing stuff etc.)

For business account users there is a way to send email via other apps or devices (think notifications, scan to email etc)

This all has to do with how your mailbox is stored encrypted on their servers.

The web mail client is decent though, if that’s your thing.

Overall I’m happy with the switch

Following a significant decline below the 50-week moving average (MA), Bitcoin concluded its weekly candle just above $94,000. This substantial break from the prevailing trend warrants immediate attention. It significantly elevates the probability of a downward trajectory over the forthcoming months.

Here's a chart of the deployed changes I have made to my positions as of this morning:

Can you explain how Swift or the Visa network works? Is it important that you do?

Study the fiat system and why bitcoin is important instead on how it technically works… that’s what makes you a #bitcoiner imo

Study blockchain, the difficulty adjustment and other technical stuff when you want to learn why it’s the most safe asset ever invented…
