About
My name is Igor Bubelov, and this is my personal website.
My open-source work focuses on privacy and self-sovereignty. Some of the projects I’m involved in include decentralized publishing and Bitcoin - a censorship-resistant, open-source form of money. This website features a variety of content on a wide range of topics that I find interesting. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions.
Projects
🗺️ BTC Map (https://btcmap.org)
Bitcoin is widely known as an investment or speculation tool, but Satoshi Nakamoto clearly defined it as a Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System. BTC Map is a project aimed at fulfilling this mission by enabling Bitcoin's use as a medium of exchange. I developed the backend and the Android app, and I help maintain the website. Additionally, I’m an avid mapper and have improved thousands of merchant records.
📰 News (https://github.com/bubelov/news)
Decentralized publishing remains an unsolved issue. Mainstream social media platforms are plagued by ads, fake stories, and propaganda, compounded by rampant censorship. RSS, Atom, and other web feed protocols enable direct connections between publishers and audiences. I created this app and remain its primary maintainer.
