New year, same goal.
  
I've seen invitations, calling devs to contribute to the Bitcoin open source. But what if you're not a dev, and you still want to contribute. Not everyone needs to be a dev, I personally think it's about anyone willing to. Correct me if I'm wrong. 

How else can a person contribute to the Bitcoin open source, besides being a devs? 

Is it only the devs, that need contribute to the Bitcoin open source? How else?

Bitcoin: Money That Actually Makes Sense

When you strip money down to its basics, it’s supposed to do three simple things:
Help us exchange value
Help us save value over time
Help us measure value
That’s it.

#### Bitcoin as the Best Unit Of Account  

## Here's where , the reality is missed 

This part is personal.
If I’m selling farm products, creating art, or charging for a service, I don’t start by asking, “What’s this worth in dollars?” That question already assumes the fiat is the reference point.

Instead, I look at the real cost:
The time I spent
The energy it took
The resources I used
Once I understand that, pricing it in Bitcoin feels natural. That’s the moment Bitcoin becomes my unit of account.

And because Bitcoin is divisible—100 million sats in one bitcoin—it works for everyone, at every level. You don’t need to own a full bitcoin. You just need a fair way to measure value.

Freedom Technology

Just gathered courage to bring a bunch of great ideas from SN together, and came up with this song. Didn't know how to embed the lyrics into it. So, Here's the lyrics:

Freedom Technology

Intro (spoken)
Yeah…
No masters. No slaves.
Freedom ain’t given by corporations or institutions — it’s a protocol for individuals in communities.
Let’s talk.

Hook
Freedom technology, coded in truth
One chain, one money, that’s the proof
Bitcoin only, everything else parody
Lightning for speed, Cashu for offline stability
Nostr for speech 
No slaves, masters, no authority
The rest of the system?
Pure shitcoinery
I'm a Serial Humble Stacker, 
Call me Hasherstacker

Verse 1
They sold us paper, called it “legal tender”
Printed our future, left the people in surrender
Central planners never lived in the mud
Still decide the value of my sweat and my blood

I want money I can hold in my mind
Keys in my brain, not a suit’s command
No freeze, no seizure, no permission slip
Just math, time, and a censorship-resistant script

Bitcoin blocks, every ten minutes truth
No backroom edits, no political proof
You can’t bend the rules when the rules are code
That’s why the weak hate the sovereign mode

I learned slow, word to word, friend to friend
Not from billboards selling dreams with no end
Sat by candlelight, phone in my hand
Learning freedom wasn’t made to be planned

No saviours coming, no one in charge
Just responsibility, heavy but large
Not chasing riches, just trying to stand
With value that listens when I speak and demand

If my labour has meaning, let money agree
If it steals my time, it ain’t money to me


---

Hook
Freedom technology, coded in truth
One chain, one money, that’s the proof
Bitcoin only, everything else parody
Lightning for speed, Cashu for stability
Nostr for speech 
No slaves, masters, no authority
The rest of the system?
Pure shitcoinery
I'm a Serial Humble Stacker, 
Call me Hasherstacker

Verse 2
They said “slow,” so we built the rails
Lightning strikes, instant finality sales
Tap to pay, borderless, peer-to-peer
No waiting days, settlement clear

Second layer clean, not a compromise
Just Bitcoin scaled, no disguise
You want speed without selling your soul?
Lightning Network — same base, same goal

No new token, no shitcoin leash
Just sats moving like speech
From village markets to global streams
Same money, different means

They push “stable” backed by promises thin
Printed liabilities dressed up as win
I’ve seen pegs snap, seen trust decay
Seen “too big to fail” fail anyway

Cashu keeps it honest, bearer by design
No yield farming lies, no timeline
Private by default, spend like cash
Still Bitcoin underneath the mask

No inflation tax, no KYC cage
Just digital notes for the Lightning age
CLINK tied the loop — keys speak and pay
Lightning meets Nostr, human to human, day by day

If it ain’t Bitcoin, Lightning, Nostr and free
Then don’t sell that fairy tale to me



---

Final Hook (x2)
Freedom technology, coded in truth
One chain, one money, that’s the proof
Bitcoin only, everything else parody
Lightning for speed, Cashu for stability
Nostr for speech 
No slaves, masters, no authority
The rest of the system?
Pure shitcoinery
I'm a Serial Humble Stacker, 
Call me Hasherstacker 


---

Outro (spoken)
This ain’t about getting rich quick
It’s about not getting chained slow
I'm a Serial Humble Stacker, 
Call me Hasherstacker.
And May the force be with us all!

I'm from where many folks has been scammed in the name of Bitcoin, but when Bitcoin was only used as a bait. Shitcoinery is very poisonous.

A Bitcoiner's to-do list

Wow, that's great! Thank you. I love that. 

Bitcoin isn’t something you use once and forget.
It’s something you grow into — step by step — as you reclaim freedom over money, energy, communication, and survival itself.

Here’s a simple to-do list that maps that journey.

1. Study Bitcoin
Knowledge is power. 

2. Hold my own Bitcoin keys
If I don't own the keys, then I don't own the money. Self-custody is the first act of sovereignty.

3. Run my own Bitcoin node
Verify, don’t trust. A node means I check the rules myself instead of outsourcing truth.

4. Run my own Lightning node
Bitcoin becomes daily money when I route, receive, and send sats on my own terms.

5. Run my own Bitcoin miner
Participation, not permission. Mining anchors Bitcoin to the physical world and honest energy.

6. Run my own Nostr relay
Speech sovereignty matters. If I care about money, I should care about communication.

7. Run my own Cashu mint
Private, local, community cash. Tools that work even when the internet is down.

8. Generate my own off-grid electricity
Money follows energy. Real independence begins when the power work without asking anyone.

9. Produce my own food from crops and livestock
Eat food, not bugs. 

10. Focus on what really matters most.  No shitcoinery.

11. ****What did I miss?****

This list isn’t about perfection.
It’s about direction.

Every item reduces dependence.
Every step strengthens resilience.
Every Bitcoiner chooses how far to go.

Sovereignty isn’t a slogan — it’s a practice.
