NEXT WEEK [2/2]
Nostr Nights #1
RSVP Link: https://www.meetup.com/bitcoinpark/events/312318620/
This is the first of many quarterly meetups focused building, growing, and exploring decentralized social technology.
Each session features conversations with people building real projects on Nostr, hands-on onboarding for newcomers, educational deep dives into how the protocol works, and open discussions about emerging tools, use cases, and best practices. It's an opportunity to ask questions, share what you're working on, and collaborate with others pushing the ecosystem forward.
This month we're excited to welcome two special guests: @nprofile…g6z6 , founder of @nprofile…vqwq , a popular, decentralized, and censorship-resistant social network client built on Nostr. Casarin is a key figure in the Bitcoin and Lightning Network community, and co-authored NIP-57 to enable Bitcoin Zaps (tips) directly within the Nostr ecosystem. We'll also be joined by @nprofile…gd9q , founder of @nprofile…ml0t , who is building open-source, scalable Web of Trust engines that turn raw network activity into clear, reliable signals.
Thank you to @nprofile…7dlm @nprofile…0jgp @nprofile…ufxr @nprofile…u66d @nprofile…m4qm for making it happen.

On stage at Imagine IF, @nprofile…zslp and Dr. Andrew Hohns tackled a technical problem with a human response.
“Whenever there is a problem in the world, what is needed is moral courage.”
The problem for Hohns, is the broken credit system and a trust deficit between the institutions and financial leaders tasked to fix it.
Bitcoin provides a technological escape valve, and the power of next generation credit tools.

“Imagine if your memories could be edited.”
@nprofile…kasv of @nprofile…rncz asked how AI could reshape thought itself, at Bitcoin Park’s recent Imagine IF Summit.
Because AI can already nudge what you see and how you feel, the idea of impacting our very thoughts creates what he calls subconscious censorship.
Marks warns this could come for freedom of thought itself.
His answer: open systems, verifiable code, and sunlight as disinfectant.

On the Imagine IF stage, @nprofile…5mj7 a simple challenge: Just try accessing a permissionless, censorship-resistant network that has no borders… You won’t go back.
He likened Bitcoin to having children: pre-experience fears are real, but the post-experience perspective is richer and truer.
Yes, disruptive tech carries risks, just like cars did too. But fear, tribalism, and politicization blind us to what new technologies unlock in human flourishing.

The internet made us more connected—and less free.
Our lives moved online.
Our freedom didn’t.
At Bitcoin Park’s Imagine IF, @nprofile…qy52 argued that the only way to fix it is to make freedom profitable.
Because open protocols don’t scale on donations. They scale on alignment.

Bitcoin isn’t just digital gold.
It’s becoming working capital: collateral for loans, liquidity in Lightning, and a new frontier for financial services.
But where the "yield" actually comes from needs to be understood in order to properly assess the risk of lending Bitcoin.

“We need to stop wasting our waste.”
@nprofile…5szs is on the frontier of the emergent grid → connecting compute to renewable energy where it’s abundant.
In rural communities across Africa, energy doesn’t just power homes, it fuels productivity, education, and healthcare.
But too often, excess renewable energy goes to waste.
At Imagine IF he gave this impactful keynote on the 2 sides of the same coin, and how Bitcoin mining is the solution to the next wave of human productivity and flourishing.

“The best deterrent to confiscation is distribution.”

“Not your keys, not your coins.”
At the inaugural Custody & Treasury Summit at Bitcoin Park, we introduced our first Bitcoin Park White Paper, digging deep into one of Bitcoin’s most existential questions: who signs?
From single-sig to multi-sig to custodial solutions, custody is the gateway to Bitcoin for the next wave of adopters, and the future will likely see hybrid solutions creating an bigger tent for the next 100M Bitcoiners.

The internet was once hailed as the great equalizer, a borderless public square where every voice could be heard.
But today, speech flows through walled gardens, monitored by algorithms, and throttled by unseen gatekeepers. Mass surveillance, platform lock-in, and corporate censorship have transformed conversation into something fragile and conditional.
If Bitcoin gave us financial sovereignty, what would it take to achieve the same for communication? At ImagineIF, @nprofile…qy52 joins @nprofile…9kky and @nprofile…slqw to chart the blueprint for a censorship-proof communication layer.
Together, they reveal how individuals can own their digital identity, move seamlessly across apps, and engage without intermediaries.

The year is 2140, and the last new bitcoin has just been mined.
Humanity now lives entirely within the contours of digital scarcity. What began as an experiment on a mailing list has become the foundation of civilization.
But, in a world transformed by Bitcoin, what truly changes, and what remains eternal?
This is the horizon @nprofile…4mtx n, president of the @nprofile…fddz and whose writings have carved out the cultural and intellectual bedrock of Bitcoin’s philosophy, invites us to examine.
Across from him sits @nprofile…yggq s, CEO of @nprofile…6av2 , whose invention of Hashcash informed Bitcoin itself. Back has spent decades building infrastructure to advance the cypherpunk vision.
Together, they will explore the possibilities of Bitcoin’s endgame: a protocol fixed in code, yet endlessly evolving in human meaning. What does a civilization look like when trust is no longer enforced by institutions, but by mathematics? Which traditions will Bitcoin render obsolete, and which timeless truths will it preserve?
Alan Watts once remarked, “the only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.”
This fireside chat is that invitation. A chance to step into the dance of time, scarcity, and freedom, guided by two of Bitcoin’s most enduring voices.

Your grandfather bought land, your father bought equities, and now you’re buying Bitcoin. Who is right when it comes to protecting generational wealth?
This question captures the dilemma facing the world’s most enduring pools of capital: how do you steward wealth across decades in a time when value itself is being redefined?
At Bitcoin Park’s upcoming Custody & Treasury Summit, we explore how family offices are adapting to this paradigm.
@nprofile…22hn, Bitcoin educator and host of the Stephan Livera Podcast, will be joined by Matt McClintock, founding partner at Bespoke Group, and Eric Kalnins, Partner at IceMiller, to unpack this paradigm shift.
Bitcoin ownership reframes the very concept of wealth preservation, and this panel invites stewards of capital to consider: are you safeguarding numbers on a balance sheet, or are you preserving generational freedom itself?

We rushed in wide-eyed and optimistic.
Free email, social media, cloud storage—it felt like a gift. Only later did we realize the bargain we’d made: in exchange for convenience, we handed over our most intimate asset: our data.
Big Tech didn’t just connect the world; it learned to watch, predict, and monetize every click.
Now, as AI takes center stage, Mark Suman sees the same trap being laid. This time, it isn’t just freedom of speech at stake, but freedom of thought itself. AI systems don’t only answer questions; they shape the ones we ask.
That’s why Mark co-founded Maple AI—to prove that another path exists. One where AI can serve people without watching them. One where privacy isn’t an afterthought, but the foundation. Maple is showing that intelligence itself can be free from surveillance.
At Imagine IF, Mark will challenge us to remember the lessons of the internet age, and refuse to give away our minds as easily as we gave away our data.

These two met in person @ Bitcoin Park. 🤙

2025-08-21 16:00:02 UTC

Imagine explaining to your grandparents that the “internet money” they dismissed as a fad is now being mentioned in the same breath as Reagan-era tax policy. At first glance, Bitcoin and supply-side economics may seem to live in different galaxies. Yet when Dr. Art Laffer, famed for sketching the Laffer Curve on a napkin, and Cathie Wood, who champions Bitcoin, AI, and energy innovation, sit down together, the through-line is striking: prosperity emerges not from restriction but from unleashing human ingenuity.
Laffer’s vision in the 1980s was that growth could be sparked by trusting people to build, invest, and take risks when barriers were lowered. Today, Bitcoin carries that same ethos into the digital era. It strips away gatekeepers, challenges the monopoly of central banks, and hands individuals direct control over value. Wood extends this logic, seeing Bitcoin not as a speculative asset but as a pillar of “freedom tech,” alongside AI and renewable energy—a toolkit for human abundance.
The question, then, is whether our inherited “truths” about money and policy still hold. As Henry Hazlitt observed, “the bad economist sees only what immediately strikes the eye; the good economist looks beyond” (Economics in One Lesson, 1946). That reminder feels tailor-made for this moment: too often, we focus on short-term fixes while ignoring the long-term architecture of freedom and value being built before us.
At Imagine IF, Dr. Laffer and Cathie will exchange a dialogue that represents more than a generational handoff; it is an intellectual relay race. What began with tax curves and deregulation now continues with Bitcoin and decentralized networks. If prosperity is born from trust in human creativity, then perhaps Bitcoin is not just a currency—it is the logical extension of an old lesson into a new century. The real test is whether society is willing to let go of its “old truths” to seize the possibilities of the new.

Most entrepreneurs build short term, while @nprofile…qy52, partner at @nprofile…qhsh, builds for centuries.
Businesses are often trapped in a cycle of quarterly returns, fundraising milestones, and short-term hype. It affects how innovators design, lead, and build (often at the expense of integrity and durability).
On a bitcoin standard, resilience outlives raw speed.
What values will still matter in 100 years? What systems deserve to last 500?
Bitcoin is more than mere technology, it’s a lesson in multi-century thinking, and we're honored for Matt to join us this September to share that vision at Imagine If.
