Recovering / a bit ill after 2 weeks of conferences (Baltic Honeybadger & BTCHEL) + a bunch of networking, promoting the book (#1074789) and building the accompanying website. But moving ahead with all projects nevertheless ðŸ¤
So I'll try to keep it concise, here's what's been happening since the last post:
- Received a bunch of copies of my book "A Stoic Resurrection" (#1074789). Sold, bartered and gave away a few face-to-face to my friends here in Estonia as well as in Riga and Helsinki. A couple of orders have also been put through Amazon, which is kinda cool (although obviously I would prefer if people used my own site to order). A couple of people have also already expressed how pleased they were with the book which is THE best thing regarding this whole project that I could ask for
- During the Baltic Honeybadger conference (in the early hours of Sunday the 17th, to be exact lol), I also finally got the fully re-designed Kontext Store of Value online - featuring the aforementioned book, first and foremost, but also some Love & Freedom inspired merch and goodies
- Participated in the Founders Sauna event in BTCHEL where I introduced both the Satoshee website & business idea, as well as the book & Kontext Store of Value merch (and sold a couple of shirts as well). It didn't go as well as it could have (don't have any co-founders or investors on board, still), but nevertheless people seemed to be intrigued by the ideas I presented and were positively minded about such a service (talking mostly about the Satoshee business here)
- Went for a lovely stroll around Helsinki with my camera on Thursday (will share some of the photos in ~Photography, sometime)
- Introduced the idea to sell discount codes (what I dubbed "Reverse Affiliate Marketing") via the Satoshee website to a bunch of people and companies at the conference - and at least the immediate feedback was positive, they would be keen to test this idea out
- Hopped on the nostr vlogging bandwagon (#1087786)
- Finalized and published the Bitcoin Media Kit (#1087671)
WHAT'S NEXT:
- Contacting companies to get a wider selection of discount codes live on Satoshee
- Adding additional products & designs to Kontext Store of Value
- Making a proper introduction to KSoV
- Offering KSoV resale possibilities to other Bitcoin book and/or merch stores
- Figuring out bulk pricing for the above; whether I should also add an affiliate program
- Figuring out more ways to promote the book
- Fixing the referral links issue with Satoshee
- Cleaning my room
- Hopefully, also more new writing, and perhaps music, making again ðŸ¤
Wow, that's a lot of meat on the fire! Congrats on finalizing this tour de force you have organized. Looks it will give some results really soon.
Really compelling the idea to put together a Bitcoin Media Kit, where the idea or need came from? There's plenty of material out there, what make you select the sources you shared?

Yeah, it's a journey! Not going to get my hopes up / expect much, but I feel like I've taken a fair few steps forward towards getting to a place where I want to be - which is, to be exact, being able to make a living off my own creativity/business/passions.
Regarding the Media Kit, there is a lot of material out there for sure, but I didn't find a place/resource where all of them have been congregated together... so I gathered up what I could, what I saw as potentially being useful for BTC-based companies, content creators, etc. and put that whole compilation together.
