Happy Release Day to myself! 📙

Digital Real Estate is finally out, and now also available on Amazon for international shipping.

What a journey, and at times a struggle, it has been to bring this book to life. After more than three years of researching, writing, rewriting, and what surreal to finally see it released. Thank you to everyone who supported me along the way.

I’m looking forward to bringing the book and its thesis out into the world, and to seeing where the coming cycle takes these ideas. This is only the beginning. ⚡

Why did real estate stop being a safe place to save and build wealth?

@leonwankum explains👇

My conversation with Danny on one of the biggest shifts in financial history.

What we are witnessing in Europe highlights the limitations of real estate and the importance of bitcoin. When governments come for your property, bitcoin offers a way to protect your wealth from physical seizure and political interference.

I'm still not over the BTCPay Server hacks from August. And I don't think I ever will be.

Nine years of coding, building community and creating value with others, only for a lot of that value to be stolen by thieves and AI hackers.

When I look back, the only thing I feel good about is how fast our community reacted, and how many more people were saved from catastrophic losses.

As a FOSS project, we responded better than governments, big corporations and most for-profit companies did. Everyone who contributed should feel proud of the part they played in the response.

What remains is the realization that we are in a new era. The people who robbed us only managed it because they got access to frontier AI models faster than we did. AI has fundamentally changed software development.

So our job now is to build better ways for humans to work with AI while it writes the code.

Developers were already being tortured. The boss wants it yesterday. Sales sold it last week. Product changed it this morning. Everyone in the company wants it faster, and the end users want it perfect. Your backlog has a backlog.

Now add attackers running frontier models that read your entire codebase overnight. It's literally impossible to keep up.

If you're still coding by hand, you're bringing a keyboard to a drone fight. You will not make it.

In this brave new world it's all about having AI running your development and defense, ensuring it's as close to frontier as possible.

And that you are connected with other humans who share your morals. Those who will not only refuse to steal from others, but actively fight thiefs, sharing lessons they learned.

A world where those who create value get to keep it. That's the only world I want to live in.

I recently presented my Digital Real Estate thesis at @LuganoPlanB in Lugano, explaining how bitcoin is reshaping real estate’s role as a store of value and why capital is moving from physical property toward a digital monetary protocol. Here are the key arguments. 🧵

Physical property is exposed to local restrictions and seizure. Bitcoin offers a different form of possession, although not beyond legal or political risk. Bitcoin’s implications extend to personal freedom, corporate governance, and sovereignty. 19/20

My book Digital Real Estate explores this thesis in depth: how bitcoin and property interact, how operators can integrate bitcoin into operations, financing, and balance sheets, and how adoption may reshape interest rates, investment, and building culture. 20/20
