1. This combination would be interesting. What do you think? 🫵🏻
Today, nprofile1qqsgzw3vlkjf4zqpugd760prsrncd7jv446nm52mrtce5dagz4te27gpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43z7qgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46qs3q2v9 (nprofile…q2v9) and I publicly announced NINEFOLD during Origin Seoul.
We founded this studio to build worlds, connect communities, and turn ideas into stories, products and experiences people want to be part of.
NINEFOLD begins with eight worlds, from bleepsignal (nprofile…re3h) nprofile1qqsdpnwq7z9yfdkssw7rhp87kurkrgz500z42xdzww8qkrp5hpw7vjqprdmhxue69uhkzer9wp682uewvdmksctjw3hkutnrdakj7qghwaehxw309ahx7um5wghxx6pndcexktnrdakj7lc5lg5 (nprofile…5lg5) to Zaza (nprofile…rucm) Tynka (nprofile…qyux) and more.
Very grateful to everyone who’s been part of the journey so far.
And if there’s something you think we should build together, come find us.

2. A must-watch episode of Bitcoin for the Arts 👇🏻
Share Your Bitcoin Journey: Episode 14 nprofile1qqs2pee498sykjts5xz7se9cne7ku8k3fr7lpqupk4q2cqs2wskx94gqe87w5 (nprofile…87w5)
LION KING meets MAD MUNKY
Dion (nprofile…dcel) ----- MadMunky2140 (nprofile…txwn)
for mi side such a pleasure and honor to share my story with this community.
FULL EPIZODE :
https://youtu.be/11JVdjVwWNI
In this conversation, Bitcoin For The Arts founder Dion Wilson sits down with MadMunky2140, woodworker, creator, privacy advocate, and one of the founding voices of the 2140 movement.
He builds physical Bitcoin art out of oak, epoxy, and hard wax oil, sells on a Bitcoin standard, and carries cypherpunk values into art, music, and culture through the 2140 collective. His work includes Manifesto 2140 pieces, Nakamoto cipher boards, Bitcoin coffee tables, and limited editions like Mini Nakamoto. Beyond the objects, he builds education and peer-to-peer culture on Nostr, Wavlake, Rumble, and 2140.wtf.
This episode is craft-heavy and conviction-heavy: from maker to Bitcoiner, why wood and resin fit a money that cannot be printed, what privacy has to do with artistic freedom, and what it looks like to sell culture peer-to-peer on a Bitcoin standard.
IN THIS EPISODE:
- COVID, privacy, and the April 2021 moment that forced a re-education
- Losing a chef job, teaching himself woodworking, and sending signal in oak
- Living between London and Prague, and building community on Bitcoin and Nostr
- Why artists can spread the message when people are stuck in comfort
- Manifesto No. 2 and art as activism after October 7
- Discovering Bitcoin as a privacy-first thinker, then practicing it
- When Bitcoin stopped being a thesis and became daily practice
- Nostr as a permissionless protocol (not a platform), keys, and responsibility
- What the 2140 movement is: art, music, meetups, and a parallel culture
- Why Bitcoin needs physical art, not only memes and PDFs
- Manifesto 2140 series: Palestine, Assange, banks, memes as weapons
- Cipher boards, coffee tables, and Bitcoin culture in everyday objects
- Privacy vs Instagram/Twitter, shadow bans, and practicing the change you want
- Selling peer-to-peer art on a Bitcoin standard through 2140.wtf
- What artists see that conference-suit Bitcoin culture still misses
- Music, mixtapes, Wavlake, and leaving a signed signal on permissionless rails
- A five-year vision: keys for his kids and tribe to a world built by cypherpunks
- What a $500 to $2,000 Bitcoin micro-grant from BFTA would unlock (content, cameras, 2140 Sessions)

3. A very important question from the Nostr founder 👌🏻
Why haven't you invited your friends and family to Nostr?
I'm not saying you should do that at all, just curious about the reasons. Especially if you think there is possibly anything that we could do in order for you to do that.
4. Nostr has the best community over other social media 🫶🏻
Although this community is small, every one of us tries to help each other grow - engaging with posts, sharing them, and sending sats.
As a result, our posts actually get seen.💜
On other social media platforms, posts often get buried under a mountain of content and have little chance of being seen unless you’re part of a much larger community or a powerful group where your content has a better chance of reaching people.
5. What is your opinion Nostriches? 👇🏻
Anyone hating on nprofile1qqswp94gnm4epqsgjkndl4lnd8krzdj5u4mzuppdtxksdymkty63g7gpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9ws65qu3r (nprofile…qu3r) for accepting Monero is an idiot.
Anyone who doesn't accept all forms of payment for their services is an idiot.
Publicly grandstanding claiming you've rejected sales in a currency people are offering you makes you a grand-idiot.
I accept fiat currency for my services & convert it into Bitcoin.
It's what you end up in, not what you receive.
6. I am not going anywhere. Are you? 🫵🏻
nostr is always under attack. from various spam attacks, to trolls, to bad actors, to even nation states blocking access. freedom will always be a fight. it's a fight that is worth it though. im not going anywhere. are you?
7. We should adjust our mindset like this 👇🏻
The goal is to bring more people to Nostr from every walk of life, not build another echo chamber. That’s what Nostrich is here to help do. Other Nostr apps aren’t our competitors, they’re our allies and friends. The real competition is the centralized platforms, and the people we’re trying to reach are the ones who don’t even know a better alternative exists.
8. Seems there is a truth in this statement 👇🏻
I see a lot of purity tests these days against the Monero gang, and it's quite rich when it comes from people who give buckets of likes and almost never zap. If it's such a big mystery why Nostr turned to #xmr, let me clear the air. If one regular zap is 21 Sats, one regular tip on Monero is the equivalent of $1 (or €1 from my Europeans). So yeah, 21 Sats against 1300 - 1500 Sats. 🤷 If the Monero bros end up saving Nostr from this "winter", kudos to them. We lost too many good accounts because we prefer to zap AI slop and bullshit quotes.
9. An unforgettable day of a lady nostrich 👩🏻🍼
UPDATE: It’s a girl! 💖
She arrived at Block 965,070.
This was my most calm delivery yet. Only 3 minutes of pushing. No tearing. Dad caught her. Midwife said I was born for this and should have 4 more. 🐥🐥🐥🐥
We are both healthy and thriving.
Thank you so much for all your prayers!
And thank you God for blessing me with this gift, for an incredible husband, and for the gift of motherhood❤️
10. Agree 100% on this 🫱🏻🫲🏽
Never forget: Nostr mutes are a super power.
Why? Both parties win. Both parties are free and sovereign over their own timelines.
You can mute the bad actor and no longer see them.
They can continue to act badly and comment on your notes
Win/Win.
