BTCHEL 2025... Estonian - Finnish connection 🤠
Appreciate the shout-out but I've never written much fiction and can, at best, jot down some inner dialogue! :)
Hey friends, just wanted to say a heartfelt thanks to everybody who has already bought the book (#1074789), it really means a lot 🧡
I'll take a few more copies with me to the Baltic Honeybadger 2025 afterparty tonight in Riga, message me to reserve one!
My first book (#1074789) is now available via the freshly re-designed Kontext Store of Value:
https://www.kontext.store/product/a-stoic-resurrection/
As well as a PDF via Satoshee:

🤠
Thanks! Yeah give it a go and I'd love to hear your thoughts! There's a few caveats tho:
- It's basically a collection of short-to-medium form thoughts I've had over the past few years, most of which I've already posted on SN Saloon, nostr & X one by one - so in case you've been following my account(s) you may find that you've read most of it before...
- I don't know what exactly "100% pure stoicism" is, and the ideas presented in the book also definitely veer into existentialism, romanticism, libertarianism, spirituality... the "Economics & Entrepreneurship" section is, for example, mostly about Bitcoin, lol. But I also didn't want to call it just "philosophy" or "Kontext's philosophy" so that literally no one would have any idea what to expect from the book. I think out of all the -ism's, stoicism has spoken to me the most and is what most of my ideas align most closely to
I can give you a heads up once I've uploaded the pdf version as well so you can have a peek at it before committing any sats towards the physical thing :)
I received the first shipment of my book this week 👀
"A Stoic Resurrection" is a collection of thoughts and reflections drawn straight from the journal of a modern man trying to make sense of his life, purpose, and place in the world. Covering topics from spirituality and love to economics and motivation, it explores the full range of human experience — or at least as much as one can encounter and meditate upon over a two-year period.
I will be in Riga attending the Baltic Honeybadger 2025 this weekend, so if anyone who's there is interested in acquiring a copy or two, feel free to hit me up. 20 € / book.
You can also already order it via Amazon, direct sales via Kontext Store of Value will be available soon, as well as a free / Name Your Price .PDF version via SATOSH.EE
Accept everything that happens as if it’s the best thing that CAN happen. Because everything that happens is the only singular way reality unfolds, and since there is only one, it is by definition simultaneously the best and the worst reality. The distinction comes down to your own perception. Accept everything except your own shortcomings, for that is the field you must cultivate, the Kingdom you rule over, and are responsible for.
- Launching my first book (first, trying to figure out how to introduce it exactly, been a bit low on inspiration these past few days)
-
In relation to launching the book, also re-doing Kontext Store of Value from scratch (the book is already on Amazon, but I also want to sell it directly and for BTC, of course).
-
Attending my first ever proper (i.e. multi-day) Bitcoin conference in Riga - the Baltic Honeybadger 2025
-
Hopefully I'll also have a some time to make some small updates to Satoshee

I think that's it. Oh, and of course, I'm still doing 120+ pushups daily, which is also a type of work I guess 🤠
My room is in desperate need of a proper clean and organizing, which is something I've been avoiding/putting off for weeks but in all likelihood I won't get to it this week either! Jordan Peterson would be disappointed, I know, as am I. But something's got to give. Something has to take the backseat in the hierarchy of priorities. IDK... perhaps, if I had already cleaned the room I would also have a clearer headspace. Perhaps I will clean the room tomorrow. We'll see. Top priority is, in any case, getting the new site up and running, letting the people know the book is ready, it exists and can be acquired, and making it to Riga.
Celebrated my b'day over the weekend and did a quick rap sesh for the homies. Got in another practice session yesterday.
Also introduced my new book to them (will post about it here as well in the upcoming days) and they seemed to like it (one of them bought / pre-ordered one as well, so I've already sold 2 without even properly announcing it anywhere - that's kinda cool).
Received a bunch of merch I designed and ordered since I'm pivoting from Spri.ng (formerly Springtee) to another POD provider (Printful).
Now what I have to do is rebuild my webstore and integrate the book and merch offerings there - I've been putting it off though - I still have PTSD from all the headaches I had to encounter while building the Satoshee website.
Then there's a bunch to do regarding the book. I didn't create it for the money, I made it for myself (similarly to how I started designing my merch), but now that it's ready, I feel I should try to promote it, get it in front of some eyeballs, get some feedback and perhaps even earn a few sats. Promoting/introducing the book is one thing, a Kindle and an audiobook version another, an Estonian translation another...
Wow, man. I came across this topic thinking "I don't really have much going on right now, IDK if I should post here at all" - as it turns out... I do have a bunch of stuff going on 🤠 No wonder I'm feeling a little bit fatigued. Anyway, onward and upward; I've also committed to attending Baltic Honeybadger in Riga this weekend and BTCHEL in Helsinki the next, so now is not really the time to slow down.
A lot of new Estonian "rap" is actually shitty pop under a different branding. Here's some proper, fresh and real Estonian rap 🤠
