Today marks a very special milestone! I am incredibly proud to announce the official launch of a passion project that brings together two of my favorite things in the world: the fascinating lives of cats and the absolute sovereignty of Bitcoin.
You can now explore the brand-new website here: TugaTheCat & Friends
Whether you are a hardcore Bitcoiner, a dedicated cat lover, or someone curious about both, this space was built specifically for you. Here is a quick look at what you will find inside.
The Stars of the Show: Tuga and the Garden Colony
At the heart of this website is Tuga, a resilient cat rescued at just two weeks old who has grown into the queen of the house. But the story doesn't end indoors. Tuga spends her days watching over her "outdoor friends"—a colony of street cats that live and play in our garden.
On the site, you'll get to follow their daily adventures. I also share the exact gear I use to keep them safe and healthy, from the high-quality food they love to the Tapo C560WS outdoor cameras I use to monitor the colony 24/7.
Learning Bitcoin Through Cats 🐈🪙
What do cats have to do with the Lightning Network? More than you might think!
Cats are nature's ultimate masters of preserving energy. They guard it fiercely and deploy it only when the time is right. On the new website, we use feline analogies to explain complex financial concepts in a way anyone can understand:
-
The FIAT System (The Cat Hotel): Using traditional banks is like leaving your cat at a pet hotel. You have to ask for permission to see them, you pay constant maintenance fees, they close on weekends, and if the hotel goes bankrupt, you lose your cat.
-
Bitcoin Auto-Custody (Your Own House): Self-custody is pure sovereignty. It’s like having your cat safely inside your own home. You hold the only keys to the door, nobody can dictate your rules, and you have absolute control over your territory.
-
The Lightning Network (The Cat Flap): If the main door is the heavy, secure Bitcoin base layer, the Lightning Network is the cat flap! It allows energy (satoshis) to move in and out instantly, cheaply, and with zero friction for daily use.
Support the Pack with "Zaps" ⚡
True to the Bitcoiner ethos, the website is fully integrated with the Lightning Network. If you enjoy the stories or want to chip in for the outdoor colony's next bag of food, you can send instant "Zaps" directly through the site using our Wallet of Satoshi integration. It’s simple, borderless, and censorship-resistant.
You will also find carefully curated recommendations for cat beds, toys, and food. By using our Amazon affiliate links, you support the project organically at no extra cost to you.
Join the Adventure!
The site is fast, minimalist, and built with love. Go check it out, explore the stories, and let me know what you think.
