Stop Trusting, Start Verifying: Why I Chose Bitcoin Knots & How to Set Up Your Start9 Server in Minutes Today we are talking about something that scares a lot of people but is actually the backbone of our freedom: Running a Bitcoin Node. I know, I know. You hear "node" and you think of scary command lines, Matrix code, and needing a PhD in computer science. But guess what? It’s not hard at all.

12 Words to Save a Life: How We Are Using Bitcoin to Break the Chains of Human Trafficking Hey Aloha, Love Tribe. This is a heavy topic, but we cannot look away. Millions are being trafficked 24/7, right in our backyards. But there is hope: Bitcoin is becoming their savior. In this urgent fundraiser, I share how sovereignty and education are rescuing girls from hell—and how YOU can help right now. This isn't political. It's HUMAN.

Why Bitcoin Art, Culture, and Code Matter More Than Ever I got something special in the mail, and I couldn't wait to open it with you. It is the Genesis Edition of the Bitcoin Art Magazine. And let me tell you—Holy Macaroni, it is stunning! In a world of "throwaway culture," where we build disposable buildings and consume disposable content, Bitcoin represents something different. It represents legacy. It represents building "cathedrals" again.

In this jam-session reflection, I honor the life and legacy of Bob Weir and the culture the Grateful Dead ignited—how music, as spiritual medicine, unites us beyond labels, politics, and difference. 

Glitches Happen Aloha! Happy Techie Tuesday. Happy New Year my friends. Just had an expensive lesson from a time and $$ perspective. I am vibe-coding an app and it said it was syncing to my repo every time I made a change and I had to click a button to approve. The wheel spun- the checkbox checked - boom - 3 days of that. The site was publishing - looking good - yay. On track. Then glitches and I had to clear browser and reboot. Project not updated in repo for 3 days- HUH!

Navigating the "Dark Night of the Soul" and Finding the Magic in the Pivot How’s life treating you in 2025? For me, it has been unpredictable, messy, and deeply transformative.

But here is the truth I keep coming back to: Rejection is God's Protection and Redirection. I share how I navigate core wounds, why connecting with God works better for me than any th

Jeff Booth is the kind of human who makes you cry—not from sadness, but from recognition. A billionaire entrepreneur, Bitcoin advocate, and unapologetic believer in humanity's potential, Jeff has spent decades proving that success isn't about climbing a ladder. It's about finding your genius, seeing the genius in others, and building something that matters. And he does it all with a humility that disarms you.

Why We Must Move Beyond "Us vs. Them" and Find the Courage to Speak Our Truth In this raw and unscripted tribute, I share why I respected Charlie Kirk despite not agreeing with everything he said. We talk about the sanctity of the First Amendment, the courage it takes to debate ideas without attacking people, and why we must stop judging others based on 10-second headlines. This is a call for unity, dialogue, and the bravery to stop self-censoring your own voice.

How MURPHSLIFE uses Bitcoin to build circular economies that end poverty and violence in El Salvador What if the best way to HODL Bitcoin is actually to spend it on building a better world?

What if the reason you struggle with Bitcoin financial planning isn't math, but the hidden "scripts" you learned in childhood? I tried so many different ways to manage abundance before realizing that true wealth starts with our mindset and our families.

Let's be real: the holidays are basically a booze commercial wrapped in twinkle lights. Family stress, office parties, "just one glass of champagne" pressure... it's a lot. But here's what I've learned in my 9-year sobriety journey (with two data-point detours that became my greatest teachers):

How to Improve Your Life Using Sensuality LOVE Snuggle Embracing the sensuality of each blessed moment rather than forcing results. Listening to pure silence. 3 tiny birds on the pine tree outside the window near my meditation cushion. Basking in the sunshine, breathing cool air slowly in my beautiful lungs.
