2025-05-16 11:40:35Há algo quase reconfortante na previsibilidade com que certos colunistas abordam Bitcoin: a cada oportunidade, repetem os mesmos chavões, reciclados com indignação moralista e embrulhados numa embalagem de falsa autoridade. O artigo publicado na Visão, com o título dramático "De criança prodígio a adolescente problemático", encaixa-se perfeitamente nesse molde.
Trata-se de uma peça de opinião que mistura factos irrelevantes com interpretações enviesadas, estatísticas sem contexto e um medo mal disfarçado de perder o monopólio da narrativa económica. A autora, Sofia Santos Machado, opta por colar em Bitcoin os desastres do chamado “mundo cripto” como se fossem parte do mesmo fenómeno — ignorando, por conveniência ou ignorância, que Bitcoin não é altcoins, não é NFTs, não é esquemas de yield exótico, e não é fintech vestida de blockchain.
Esta resposta centra-se exclusivamente em Bitcoin — um protocolo monetário aberto, incorruptível e resistente à censura, que já está a servir como salvaguarda de valor em regiões onde o sistema financeiro convencional falhou. Não me interessa defender pirâmides, tokens inflacionários ou aventuras bancárias mal calculadas.
Criticar Bitcoin é legítimo — mas fazê-lo sem saber do que se fala é apenas desinformação.
A Histeria da Água — Falar Sem Saber
O artigo abre com uma pérola alarmista sobre o consumo de água:
“Uma única transacção de bitcoin consome seis milhões de vezes mais água do que um pagamento com cartão.”
Seis. Milhões. De vezes. Resta saber se a autora escreveu isto com cara séria ou a rir-se enquanto bebia água engarrafada dos Alpes Suíços.
Fontes? Metodologia? Contexto? Estou a brincar — isto é a Visão, onde os números são decoração e os factos opcionais.
Claro que comparar transacções na camada base de Bitcoin com pagamentos "instantâneos" da rede Visa é tão rigoroso como comparar um Boeing 747 com um avião de papel porque um voa mais longe. Um artigo sério teria falado em batching, na Lightning Network, ou no facto de que Bitcoin nem sequer compete com a Visa nesse nível, nem em nenhum. Mas isso exigiria, imagine-se, investigação.
Pior ainda, não há qualquer menção ao consumo de água na extracção de ouro, nos data centers bancários, ou no treino de modelos de inteligência artificial. Pelos vistos, só Bitcoin tem de obedecer aos mandamentos ecológicos da Visão. O resto? Santa ignorância selectiva.
Criminosos e o Fantasma do Satoshi
Eis o clássico: “Bitcoin é usado por criminosos”. Um cliché bafiento tirado do baú de 2013, agora reapresentado como se fosse escândalo fresco.
Na realidade, Bitcoin é pseudónimo, não anónimo. Todas as transacções ficam gravadas num livro público — não é propriamente o esconderijo ideal para lavar dinheiro, a menos que sejas fã de disfarces em néon.
E os dados? Claríssimos. Segundo a Chainalysis e a Europol, a actividade ilícita com Bitcoin tem vindo a diminuir. Enquanto isso, os bancos — esses bastiões de confiança — continuam a ser apanhados a lavar biliões para cartéis e cleptocratas. Mas disso a Visão não fala. Devia estragar a narrativa.
O verdadeiro crime aqui é a preguiça intelectual tão profunda que quase merece uma moldura. A Visão tem um editor?
O Espantalho Energético
Como uma criança que acabou de aprender uma palavra nova, a Visão repete “consumo energético” como se fosse um pecado original. Bitcoin usa electricidade — escândalo!
Mas vejamos: o Proof-of-Work não é um defeito. É a razão pela qual Bitcoin é seguro. Não há “desperdício” — há uso, e muitas vezes com energia excedente, renovável, ou que de outro modo seria desperdiçada. É por isso que os mineiros se instalam junto a barragens remotas, queima de gás (flaring), ou parques eólicos no meio do nada — não porque odeiam o planeta, mas porque os incentivos económicos funcionam. Escrevi sobre isso aqui.
O que a Visão convenientemente ignora é que Bitcoin está a ajudar a integrar mais energia renovável nas redes, funcionando como carga flexível. Mas nuance? Trabalho de casa? Esquece lá isso.
Para uma explicação mais séria, podiam ter ouvido o podcast A Seita Bitcoin com o Daniel Batten. Mas para quê investigar?
Cripto = Bitcoin = Fraude?
Aqui chegamos ao buraco negro intelectual: enfiar tudo no mesmo saco. FTX colapsou? Culpa de Bitcoin. Um banqueiro jogou com altcoins? Culpa de Bitcoin. Scam de NFT? Deve ter sido o Satoshi.
Vamos esclarecer: Bitcoin não é “cripto”. Bitcoin é descentralizado, sem líderes, transparente. Não teve pré-mineração, não tem CEO, não promete lucros. O que o rodeia? Tokens centralizados, esquemas Ponzi, pirâmides e vaporware — precisamente o oposto do que Bitcoin representa.
Se um executivo bancário perde o dinheiro dos clientes em Dogecoins, isso é um problema dele. Bitcoin não lhe prometeu nada. Foi a ganância.
E convenhamos: os bancos tradicionais também colapsam. E não precisam de satoshis para isso. Bastam dívidas mal geridas, contabilidade criativa e uma fé cega no sistema.
Culpar Bitcoin por falcatruas “cripto” é como culpar o TCP/IP ou SMTP por emails de phishing. É preguiçoso, desonesto e diz-nos mais sobre a autora do que sobre a tecnologia.
Promessas Por Cumprir? Só Se Não Estiveres a Ver
A "jornalista" da Visão lamenta que “após 15 anos, os riscos são reais mas as promessas por cumprir”. Que promessas? Dinheiro grátis? Cafés pagos com QR codes mágicos?
Bitcoin nunca prometeu fazer cappuccinos mais rápidos. Prometeu soberania monetária, resistência à censura e um sistema previsível. E tem cumprido — diariamente, para milhões. E para o cappuccino, há sempre a Lightning Network.
Pergunta aos venezuelanos, nigerianos, peruanos ou argentinos se Bitcoin falhou. Para muitos, é a única forma de escapar à hiperinflação, ao confisco estatal e à decadência financeira.
Bitcoin não é uma app. É infra-estrutura. É uma nova camada base para o dinheiro global. Não se vê — mas protege, impõe regras e não obedece a caprichos de banqueiros centrais.
E isso assusta. Especialmente quem nunca viveu fora da bolha do euro.
Conclusão: A Visão a Gritar Contra o Progresso
No fim, o artigo da Visão é um festival de clichés, dados errados e ressentimento. Não é só enganador. É desonesto. Culpa a tecnologia pelos erros dos homens. Rejeita o futuro em nome do conforto passado.
Bitcoin não é uma varinha mágica. Mas é a fundação de uma nova liberdade financeira. Uma ferramenta para proteger valor, resistir a abusos e escapar ao controlo constante de quem acha que sabe o que é melhor para ti.
Portanto, fica aqui o desafio, Sofia: se queres criticar Bitcoin, primeiro percebe o que é. Lê o white paper. Estuda. Faz perguntas difíceis.
Caso contrário, és só mais um cão a ladrar para a trovoada — muito barulho, zero impacto.

2025-05-16 11:22:20Introduction
Bitcoin and torrents are two technologies that have reshaped how people share information and resources in the digital age. Both are built on decentralized principles and challenge traditional systems—torrents in the realm of file sharing, and Bitcoin in the world of finance. However, while torrents have seen a decline in popularity with the rise of streaming platforms like Netflix and HBO, many wonder whether Bitcoin will follow a similar trajectory or continue to grow as a widely adopted technology. This article explores the similarities between the two technologies, the resilience of torrents against attempts to shut them down, the reasons for their declining popularity, and why Bitcoin is likely to avoid a similar fate.
Similarities Between Torrents and Bitcoin
Torrents and Bitcoin share several key characteristics that make them unique and resilient:
-
Decentralization:\ Torrents rely on peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, where users share files directly with each other without depending on a central server. Similarly, Bitcoin operates on a blockchain—a decentralized network of nodes that maintain and validate transactions. This lack of a central authority makes both technologies difficult to control or shut down.
-
Censorship Resistance:\ Both systems are designed to withstand attempts at restriction. Torrents continue to function even when specific sites like The Pirate Bay are blocked, as the network relies on thousands of users worldwide. Bitcoin is also resistant to government bans, as transactions are processed by a global network of miners.
-
Anonymity and Pseudonymity:\ Torrents allow users to share files without revealing their identities, especially when using VPNs. Bitcoin, while pseudonymous (transactions are public but not directly tied to real-world identities), offers a similar level of privacy, attracting users seeking financial freedom.
-
Open Source:\ Both technologies are open-source, enabling developers to improve and adapt them. This fosters innovation and makes the systems more resilient to attacks.
Why Torrents Cannot Be Stopped
Torrents have persisted despite numerous attempts to curb them due to their decentralized nature. Governments and organizations have shut down sites like The Pirate Bay and Kickass Torrents, but new platforms quickly emerge. The key reasons for their resilience include:
-
P2P Architecture:\ Torrents do not rely on a single server. Every user downloading or sharing a file becomes part of the network, making it impossible to completely dismantle.
-
Global Distribution:\ Millions of users worldwide sustain torrent networks. Even if one country imposes strict regulations, others continue to support the system.
-
Adaptability:\ The torrent community quickly adapts to challenges, using VPNs, proxy servers, or the dark web to bypass restrictions.
Despite this resilience, the popularity of torrents has significantly declined in recent years, particularly among younger users.
The Decline of Torrents: Why They Lost Popularity
In the early 2000s, torrents were the primary way to access movies, music, and software. They were easy to use, free, and offered a vast array of content. However, the rise of streaming platforms like Netflix, HBO, Disney+, and Spotify has changed how people consume media. The main reasons for the decline of torrents include:
-
Convenience:\ Streaming platforms provide instant access to high-quality content without the need for downloading or specialized software. Torrents, in contrast, require technical knowledge and are often slower.
-
Legality and Safety:\ Using torrents carries risks such as viruses, malware, and legal consequences. Streaming services offer a safe and legal alternative.
-
Marketing and Accessibility:\ Platforms like Netflix invest billions in original content and marketing, attracting younger users who prefer easy access over free but risky downloads.
-
Social Shifts:\ Younger generations, raised with access to subscription services, are often unfamiliar with torrents or view them as outdated. Studies from 2023 indicate that only a small percentage of people under 25 regularly use torrents.
Despite this decline, torrents have not disappeared entirely. They are still used in regions with limited access to streaming services or by users who value free access to niche content.
Why Bitcoin Will Not Share the Fate of Torrents
Despite the similarities, Bitcoin has unique characteristics that make it more likely to achieve mainstream adoption rather than being overshadowed by alternatives. Here are the key reasons:
-
Financial Revolution:\ Bitcoin addresses problems that lack direct alternatives. It enables transactions without intermediaries, which is particularly valuable in countries with unstable currencies or limited banking access. Unlike torrents, which were replaced by more convenient streaming platforms, traditional financial systems still have flaws that Bitcoin addresses.
-
Institutional Adoption:\ Major companies like Tesla, PayPal, and Square accept Bitcoin or invest in it. Financial institutions, including JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, are developing cryptocurrency-related products. This institutional acceptance boosts Bitcoin’s credibility and legitimacy, something torrents never achieved.
-
Limited Supply:\ Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins makes it attractive as a store of value, similar to gold. This characteristic distinguishes it from other technologies and gives it potential for long-term growth.
-
Technological Advancements:\ The Bitcoin network evolves through improvements like the Lightning Network, which makes transactions faster and cheaper. These innovations make it competitive with traditional payment systems, whereas torrents failed to adapt to streaming technologies.
-
Global Financial Integration:\ Unlike torrents, which remained in the niche of file sharing, Bitcoin has the potential to integrate into the global financial system. Countries like El Salvador have already recognized it as legal tender, and others may follow suit.
-
Cultural and Economic Significance:\ Bitcoin is perceived not only as a technology but also as a movement for financial independence and decentralization. This ideology attracts young people and tech enthusiasts, making it more resilient to the social shifts that affected torrents.
Conclusion
Torrents and Bitcoin share common roots as decentralized technologies that challenge the status quo. However, while torrents lost popularity due to the rise of more convenient and legal alternatives, Bitcoin has the potential to avoid this fate. Its ability to address real financial problems, institutional adoption, and technological advancements make it a likely candidate for mainstream use in the future. While torrents remained a niche technology, Bitcoin is emerging as a global force that could transform how the world perceives money.

2025-05-16 08:27:58Im digitalen Zeitalter wird der Schutz der Privatsphäre immer wichtiger. Unabhängig davon, ob es sich um eine Regierungsbehörde, ein Unternehmen oder eine Einzelperson handelt, besteht für alle das Risiko, abgehört oder verfolgt zu werden. Mobiltelefone, WLAN, GPS und UHF-Geräte (Ultrahochfrequenz) können zu Werkzeugen für Hacker oder Überwachungsgeräte werden. Um diesen Bedrohungen entgegenzuwirken, sind Signalstörsender (wie etwa Tragbare Handyblocker, WLAN-Störsender, GPS-Störsender und UHF-Störsender) zu einem wirksamen Mittel zum Schutz der Privatsphäre geworden. In diesem Artikel werden die verschiedenen Arten von Störsendern erläutert, wie sie funktionieren und wie man sie legal und angemessen einsetzt, um Abhören und Tracking zu verhindern.
1. Was ist ein Signalstörsender?
Ein Signalstörsender ist ein elektronisches Gerät, das die Kommunikationssignale eines Zielgeräts durch die Aussendung von Radiowellen einer bestimmten Frequenz stört oder blockiert. Es kann Mobiltelefonanrufe, WLAN-Verbindungen, GPS-Positionierung oder UHF-Signalübertragungen blockieren, um Abhören oder Tracking zu verhindern.
Das Funktionsprinzip eines Störsenders besteht darin, ein Rauschsignal mit hoher Intensität an das Zielfrequenzband zu senden, wodurch es für das empfangende Gerät unmöglich wird, das ursprüngliche Signal richtig zu interpretieren. Beispielsweise blockiert ein Handy-Störsender die Kommunikation zwischen einem Handy und einer Basisstation, sodass mit dem Handy weder Anrufe getätigt noch Textnachrichten empfangen werden können.
2. Gängige Arten von Signalstörern
(1) Handy-Störsender
Tragbare störsender für handy werden hauptsächlich verwendet, um GSM-, 3G UMTS-, 4G- und 5G-Signale zu blockieren. Es kann verhindern, dass das Telefon überwacht oder geortet wird und eignet sich für die folgenden Szenarien:
- Abhören verhindern: Verhindern Sie, dass das Mikrofon Ihres Telefons während wichtiger Besprechungen oder privater Gespräche aus der Ferne aktiviert wird.
- Anti-Tracking: Blockieren Sie die GPS- und Mobilfunknetzortung, um die Verfolgung durch Malware oder Hacker zu verhindern.
- Prävention von Prüfungsbetrug: Wird in Schulen oder Prüfungssälen verwendet, um zu verhindern, dass Kandidaten mit Mobiltelefonen schummeln.
(2) WLAN-Störsender
WLAN-Störsender können drahtlose Netzwerksignale in den Frequenzbändern 2,4 GHz und 5 GHz blockieren und eignen sich für:
- Hacking verhindern: Blockieren Sie WLAN-Signale in der Nähe, um Datendiebstahl zu verhindern.
- Smart-Home-Geräte schützen: Verhindern Sie die Fernsteuerung von Smart-Kameras, Lautsprechern und anderen Geräten.
- Militärische oder staatliche vertrauliche Bereiche: Verhindern Sie, dass durch drahtlose Signale vertrauliche Informationen preisgegeben werden.
(3) GPS-Störsender
GPS-Störsender können Satellitenpositionierungssignale blockieren, um die Verfolgung von Fahrzeugen oder Mobiltelefonen zu verhindern. Sie eignen sich für:
- Schützen Sie Ihre Privatsphäre: Verhindern Sie, dass Mitfahrdienste, Essenslieferdienste oder Malware Ihren Aufenthaltsort aufzeichnen.
- Militärische Nutzung: Verhindern, dass Drohnen oder Raketen für ihren Angriff auf GPS-Navigation angewiesen sind.
- Anti-Aufklärung: Verhindern Sie Wirtschaftsspionage oder die Verfolgung von Logistikfahrzeugen durch Wettbewerber.
(4) UHF-Störsender
UHF Jammer (Ultra High Frequency) werden hauptsächlich verwendet, um drahtlose Kommunikation im Frequenzband von 300 MHz bis 3 GHz zu blockieren, wie z. B. Walkie-Talkies, drahtlose Mikrofone, RFID usw. und eignen sich für:
- Verhindern Sie drahtloses Abhören: Blockieren Sie drahtlose Abhörgeräte, die von Spionen verwendet werden.
- RFID-Daten schützen: Verhindern Sie das illegale Scannen von Kreditkarten oder Zugangskarten.
- Anti-Drohnen-Störsender: Blockiert die Fernbedienungssignale von Drohnen, um zu verhindern, dass sie sich sensiblen Bereichen nähern.
3. Wie verwendet man Signalstörsender richtig, um die Privatsphäre zu schützen?
Obwohl Störsender das Abhören und Verfolgen wirksam verhindern können, kann eine unsachgemäße Verwendung gegen das Gesetz verstoßen oder die normale Kommunikation beeinträchtigen. Hier sind einige Vorschläge für den legalen und sinnvollen Einsatz von Störsendern:
(1) Verstehen Sie die örtlichen Gesetze
- In vielen Ländern ist die unbefugte Verwendung von Störsendern illegal und kann zu Geldstrafen oder strafrechtlichen Konsequenzen führen.
- Nur zur Verwendung im privaten Bereich oder dort, wo dies gesetzlich zulässig ist, z. B. beim Militär, in der Regierung oder bei der Unternehmenssicherheit.
(2) Wählen Sie den entsprechenden Störbereich
- WLAN Signal Blocker mit geringer Leistung eignen sich für kleine Besprechungsräume oder Fahrzeuge, um die Kommunikation in der Umgebung nicht zu beeinträchtigen.
- In großen Veranstaltungsorten können Störsender mit hoher Leistung eingesetzt werden, dabei ist jedoch Vorsicht geboten, um die öffentliche Kommunikation nicht zu stören.
(3) Kombiniert mit anderen Sicherheitsmaßnahmen
- Störsender sind nur eine vorübergehende Lösung. Für einen langfristigen Schutz der Privatsphäre ist die Verwendung verschlüsselter Kommunikation, VPNs, Abhörgeräte usw. erforderlich.
(4) Regelmäßige Überprüfung der Ausrüstung
- Störsender können aufgrund von Änderungen der Signalstärke unwirksam werden und müssen regelmäßig getestet und angepasst werden.
4. Einschränkungen von Störsendern
Obwohl Störsender Signale wirksam blockieren können, unterliegen sie dennoch einigen Einschränkungen:
- Verhindert kein kabelgebundenes Abhören: Störsender wirken nur gegen drahtlose Signale und schützen nicht vor physischen Abhörgeräten (wie versteckten Mikrofonen).
- Kann legitime Kommunikation beeinträchtigen: Störsender blockieren wahllos Signale, was Notrufe oder die normale WLAN-Nutzung beeinträchtigen kann.
- Kann durch Anti-Jamming-Technologie geknackt werden: Einige fortschrittliche Geräte verwenden möglicherweise Frequenzsprungtechnologie (z. B. militärische Kommunikation), die von gewöhnlichen Störsendern nur schwer vollständig blockiert werden kann.
5. Alternativen: Sicherere Methoden zum Schutz der Privatsphäre
Wenn der Einsatz von Auto GPS Tracker Störsender eingeschränkt ist, ziehen Sie die folgenden Alternativen in Betracht:
- Verwenden Sie einen Faradayschen Käfig: Eine metallische Abschirmhülle oder ein Raum, der drahtlose Signale vollständig blockiert.
- Flugmodus aktivieren: Durch das Ausschalten der drahtlosen Mobiltelefonkommunikation wird die Fernaktivierung des Mikrofons verhindert.
- Verwenden Sie verschlüsselte Kommunikationstools: z. B. Anwendungen mit End-to-End-Verschlüsselung wie Signal, ProtonMail usw.
abschließend
Ein Signalstörsender ist ein leistungsstarkes Tool zum Schutz der Privatsphäre, das das Abhören von Mobiltelefonen, WLAN-Hacking, GPS-Tracking und UHF-Überwachung wirksam verhindern kann. Allerdings ist die Verwendung gesetzlich eingeschränkt und sollte mit Vorsicht verwendet werden. Durch die Kombination von Störsendern mit anderen Sicherheitsmaßnahmen (wie verschlüsselter Kommunikation und physischer Abschirmung) kann die Privatsphäre im Rahmen des gesetzlich Gegebenen weitestgehend vor Verletzungen geschützt werden. Mit der Entwicklung von Technologien zum Abhören von Störsendern könnten diese in Zukunft intelligenter und präziser werden und sich zu einem wichtigen Mittel zum Schutz der Privatsphäre entwickeln.

2025-05-16 08:18:52Value Creation at the Edge
The conversation around artificial intelligence has largely centered on the technology itself, the capabilities of large language models, the race for more parameters, and the competition between AI companies.
He with the most data / biggest model / biggest platform wins all.
As we're been exploring in recent "Good Stuff" podcasts, the true business model of AI may be much more straightforward. AI is after all a productivity tool with little technical moat, in fact the existence of AI coding and learning tools quickly chop away at this moat even quicker!.\ \ We believe that the it's about transforming traditional human heavy businesses by dramatically reducing operational costs while maintaining or increasing output.
AI is poised to create value not primarily for AI companies themselves, but for businesses that effectively implement AI to transform their operations, particularly small, local businesses that can become extraordinarily efficient through AI adoption.
The Value Shift: From AI Companies to AI-Enabled Traditional Businesses
A central insight from episode 1 of the podcast series, is that the value of AI isn't likely to accrue primarily to companies like OpenAI or other AI technology providers. Instead, the real winners will be traditional service businesses that can leverage AI to transform their operations and cost structures.
"I think we're gonna see this shift to traditional service businesses... that traditionally have pretty fixed low margins because of a dependency on language-heavy workflows that require a lot of humans as the medium of intelligence in the business."
The opportunity here is to use AI to manage the language dependency and shift the moments of intelligence, that currently exist in the heads of our staff, into software that can run 24x7 for fractions of a cost.\ \ The real limiting factor here is less a magic AGI, but instead detailed thinking and process redesign to move humans to the edge of the process. As it turns out if we think through what each person is doing in detail we see the specific decisions, outputs, moments of intelligence are actually quite constrained and can be replicated in LLM's if we break them down to a low enough level of fidelity and take each decisions one step at a time.\ \ The result? Businesses that have traditionally operated with fixed, low margins can potentially achieve "software-style margins" by dramatically reducing their operational expenses.
Transforming Traditional Service Businesses
We have developed three key heuristics for identifying businesses that could benefit most from AI transformation:
-
Language Intensity: Businesses where much of the work involves processing language (reading, writing, communicating). Language in, language out. If you are sat in a chair and typing all day, this could be you.
-
Labor Component: Where we see this language intensity so we find many people performing similar, standardized roles. For examples, if we have four people in the same role this is a big clue we have good process, checklists, role descriptions etc for how the work can be done in order to replicate work across multiple people.
-
Load in the Business: Taking these processes into account, what amount of the operational expense of the business do they represent? Where these language and labor-intensive operations represent a significant portion of the business cost, we can see there will be significant return.
Traditional service businesses that match these criteria—legal firms, accounting practices, consulting agencies, contract engineering, design agencies and others—could see dramatic transformations through AI implementation.
By automating these language-heavy processes, businesses can potentially reduce operational costs by 50-80% while maintaining similar levels of output.
The Power of Small
We believe that small businesses may have an inherent advantage in this transformation. While large enterprises face significant barriers to reducing their workforce (political pressure, media scrutiny, organizational complexity), smaller businesses can adapt more quickly and focus on growth rather than just cost-cutting.
If I'm in a 20,000 person business and I need to remove 10,000 people... that's hard. You can't do this without sending political shock waves in your local community.
If I'm a 10 person business and I need to double my revenue, nobody gives a shit. I can just do it.
For small businesses, AI removes growth constraints. When adding the "21st person" no longer represents a significant capital investment, small businesses can scale much more efficiently:
If the next nominal client that you onboard doesn't actually cause you any more additional pain, if you don't need to hire more people to service that client... you just take off the brakes off from a growth perspective.
This gives small business a unique advantage in capitalizing on AI.
From "Bionic Humans" to "Humans at the Edge"
We currently see this integration to business happening in one of two models:
-
The Bionic Human: Equipping workers with AI tools to make them more productive.
-
Human at the Edge: Redesigning processes to be AI-native, with humans entering the process only when needed (and often facilitated by bitcoin payments).
While many businesses are focused on the first approach and it can certainly see returns, it is still a process constrained by the human input. The real value unlock comes from fundamentally redesigning business processes with AI at the core.
Now we can purchase intelligence in buckets of $0.02 API calls, how would we operate different?
This represents a profound shift in how we think about work and processes. Rather than humans being central to processes with tools supporting them, AI becomes the backbone of operations with humans providing input only at critical junctures.
This is "a complete mental shift" that challenges our fundamental assumptions about how businesses operate. The human becomes "the interface with the real world" for AI systems rather than the primary processor of information and decision-maker.
The Value Trap: Understanding the Competitive Dynamic
So what happens next? Here we have developed the concept of the Value Trap to explain how the competitive landscape will evolve as AI adoption increases..\ \
Initially, early adopters of AI and "Human at the Edge" business processes, will see dramatic benefits.
If your costs have dropped from 90 to 20 this creates an immediate competitive advantage where the early adopter is "now making 80 units of profit versus your 10 units of profit.
They gain massive pricing power in the industry and can compete for growth with an unfair advantage.
Over time, and here we believe this is likely a 5-10 year period although we believe the quicker side, competitive pressures will erode these advantages.\ \ As competitors adopt similar AI strategies, price competition will intensify, and revenues will decline. The business that initially saw its costs drop from 90 to 20 units might see its revenue decline from 100 to 30 units, resulting in similar margins but much lower overall revenue, often destroying the enterprise value of the company at these new revenue / profit levels!
This evolution creates an imperative for businesses to adopt AI early, not just to maintain perpetual advantage, but simply to survive the transition. Worse they're hit with a second challenge of the value trap, how do I keep hold of the value I generate along the way.\ \ If you're reading this on Nostr you may already suspect a way out of this value trap.\ \ If not I would invite you to consider storing the immediate short term returns you pull forwards in something that would be inflation resistant, hard to seize and ideally portable.\ \ We refer to this as a 'The big orange arbitrage".
Implications for Business Owners and Capital Allocators
For business owners, especially those running small to medium-sized enterprises, the message is clear: understand how AI could transform your industry and begin planning your transition now.\ \ This might involve creating an "AI-native twin" of your current business—similar to how Netflix developed streaming alongside its DVD business—to eventually replace your current operations. If you want help please ask, I heavily favor more small businesses in the world and would love to help make this a reality.
For capital allocation, the emerging opportunity we see if in "transformation led private equity". The acquisition of traditional service businesses and applying AI to dramatically reduce operational costs and increase enterprise value.\ \ This approach treats AI not as a product but as a transformation strategy for existing businesses with proven product-market fit.
Transformation led PE is venture style returns without the risk of product market fit.
So the lesson?
The business model of AI isn't all about selling AI technology, adding a RAG chatbot to a new DB or collecting everyone's data.\ \ Consider the humble cash flow business, use AI to transform the operational processes and save into everyone's favorite orange coin.

2025-05-16 07:51:08Payjoin allows the sender and receiver of an on-chain payment to collaborate and create a transaction that breaks on-chain heuristics, allowing a more private transaction with ambiguous payment amount and UTXO ownership. Additionally, it can also be used for UTXO consolidation (receiver saves future fees) and batching payments (receiver can make payment(s) of their own in the process of receiving one), also known as transaction cut-through. Other than improved privacy, the rest of the benefits are typically applicable to the receiver, not the sender.
BIP-78 was the original payjoin protocol that required the receiver to run a endpoint/server (always online) in order to mediate the payjoin process. Payjoin adoption has remained pretty low, something attributed to the server & perpetual online-ness requirement. This is the motivation for payjoin v2.
The purpose of the one-pager is to analyse the protocol, and highlight the UX issues or tradeoffs it entails, so that the payjoin user flows can be appropriately designed and the tradeoffs likewise communicated. A further document on UX solutions might be needed to identify solutions and opportunities
The following observations are generally limited to individual users transacting through their mobile devices:
While users naturally want better privacy and fee-savings, they also want to minimise friction and minimise (optimise) payment time. These are universal and more immediate needs since they deal with the user experience.
Added manual steps
TL;DR v2 payjoin eliminates server & simultaneous user-liveness requirements (increasing TAM, and opportunities to payjoin, as a result) by adding manual steps.
Usually, the extent of the receiver's involvement in the transaction process is limited to sharing their address with the sender. Once they share the address/URI, they can basically forget about it. In the target scenario for v2 payjoin, the receiver must come online again (except they have no way of knowing "when") to contribute input(s) and sign the PSBT. This can be unexpected, unintuitive and a bit of a hassle.
Usually (and even with payjoin v1), the sender crafts and broadcasts the transaction in one go; meaning the user's job is done within a few seconds/minutes. With payjoin v2, they must share the original-PSBT with the receiver, and then wait for them to do their part. Once the the receiver has done that, the sender must come online to review the transaction, sign it & broadcast.
In summary,
In payjoin v1, step 3 is automated and instant, so delay 2, 3 =~ 0. As the user experiences it, the process is completed in a single session, akin to a non-payjoin transaction.
With payjoin v2, Steps 2 & 3 in the above diagram are widely spread and noticeable. These manual steps are separated by uncertain delays (more on that below) when compared to a non-payjoin transaction.
Delays
We've established that both senders and receivers must take extra manual steps to execute a payoin transaction. With payjoin v2, this process gets split into multiple sessions, since the sender and receiver are not like to be online simultaneously.
Delay 2 & 3 (see diagram above) are uncertain in nature. Most users do not open their bitcoin wallets for days or weeks! The receiver must come online before the timeout hits in order for the payjoin process to work, otherwise time is just wasted with no benefit. UX or technical solutions are needed to minimise these delays.
Delays might be exacerbated if the setup is based on hardware wallet and/or uses multisig.
Notifications or background processes
There is one major problem when we say "the user must come online to..." but in reality the user has no way of knowing there is a payjoin PSBT waiting for them. After a PSBT is sent to the relay, the opposite user would only find out about it whenever they happen to come online. Notifications and background sync processes might be necessary to minimise delays. This is absolutely essential to avert timeouts in addition to saving valuable time. Another risk is phantom payjoin stuff after the timeout is expired if receiver-side does not know it has.
Fee Savings
The following observations might be generally applicable for both original and this v2 payjoin version. Fee-savings with payjoin is a tricky topic. Of course, overall a payjoin transaction is always cheaper than 2 separate transactions, since they get to share the overhead.
Additionally, without the receiver contributing to fees, the chosen fee rate of the PSBT (at the beginning) drops, and can lead to slower confirmation. From another perspective, a sender paying with payjoin pays higher fees for similar confirmation target. This has been observed in a production wallet years back. Given that total transaction time can extend to days, the fee environment itself might change, and all this must be considered when designing the UX.
Of course, there is nothing stopping the receiver from contributing to fees, but this idea is likely entirely novel to the bitcoin ecosystem (perhaps payments ecosystem in general) and the user base. Additionally, nominally it involves the user paying fees and tolerating delays just to receive bitcoin. Without explicit incentives/features that encourage receivers to participate, payjoining might seem like an unncessary hassle.
Overall, it seems that payjoin makes UX significant tradeoffs for important privacy (and potential fee-saving) benefits. This means that the UX might have to do significant heavy-lifting, to ensure that users are not surprised, confused or frustrated when they try to transact on-chain in a privacy-friendly feature. Good, timely communication, new features for consolidation & txn-cutthrough and guided user flows seem crucial to ensure payjoin adoption and for help make on-chain privacy a reality for users.

2025-05-16 06:33:03For years, I wandered through the Web3 space—intrigued by its promises, pulled in by buzzwords like “decentralization,” “DAOs,” and “stakeholder democracy.”
But over time, the signals got drowned out by noise.
I saw venture capital pour into projects that had no product. I watched communities reward performative governance and token hype, rather than real work or impact. Even in faith-based circles, “Web3 for good” often meant shiny apps that served insiders more than outsiders.
Then I found my way back to where I began: Bitcoin.
Not as a speculative asset—but as a philosophy. A discipline. A foundation.
Proof of Work doesn’t need marketing. It doesn’t ask for permission. It either works—or it doesn’t.
Web3 taught me a lot. But Bitcoin gave me a plumb line. And from now on, that’s the line I’m building on.

Lego is something most of us knows. This is a opportuity to ask where is our creativity going? From the art of crafting figures to building blocks following our need and desires to have a machine thinking and building following step-by-step instructions to achieve an isolated goal.
Is the creative act then in the question itself, not anymore in the crafting? Are we just delegating the solution of problems, the thinking of how to respond to questions, to machines? Would it be different if delegated to other people?

2025-05-16 10:58:12There is an element called carifornium. Over years, there are informations that californium does not exist naturally on earth but can only be produced in the laboratory. But a man from Africa said otherwise and we will find out what the man said.
What is californium? Californium (Cf) is a synthetic radioactive, metallic element with the atomic number 98.
Oxford dictionary defines californium as a chemical element of atomic number 98, a radioactive metal of the actinide series first produced by the bombarding of curium with helium ions. *Take note of the bombarding of curium with helium ions.
According to research, californium is discovered in 1950 and it was named after the university of California and the state of California where the research first took place.
Research also said that californium was produced in the past when several nuclear reactors were in operation 2 billion years ago in Africa.
THERE ARE SOME VITAL PROPERTIES OF CALIFORNIUM. * Radioactive : all isotopes of californium are radioactive. * Actinide : californium belongs to the actinide series, a group of radioactive element with similar properties. * Synthetic : it does not occur naturally and it is produced in the laboratory. * Soft metal : it is soft, silver-white metal. * High melting point : it have a high melting point of about 900°C. * Good neutron source : it is strong neutron emitter, making it useful in various applications.
THERE ARE USES OF CALIFORNIUM
- Neutron Source: Its strong neutron emission makes it valuable as a neutron source in various applications.
- Neutron Activation Analysis: It's used to analyze the composition of materials by bombarding them with neutrons.
- Cancer Therapy: Some isotopes are used in radiation therapy for treating certain cancers.
- Detection Systems: It's used in portable metal detectors, for identifying gold and silver ores, and in detecting oil and water in wells.
- Neutron Radiography: It can be used in neutron radiography to visualize the inside of objects.
Californium also can serve as source of income, 1 gram of californium cost $27 million in market today and it take a thousand grams to make 1 kilogram. You can imagine the figures in monetize form.
About 3-4 years ago, a man by name RTD. HAMZA AL-MUSTAPHA. On a popular radio and TV show claims that californium are being mined and sold-out in Nigeria 🇳🇬.
With critical thinking and understanding, we will find out.

2025-05-16 10:39:10Jumping into the world of cybersecurity can feel like stepping into a hacker movie — full of commands, code, and dark terminals. As someone just starting this journey, I quickly realized there’s one thing I need to learn before anything else: Linux.
Linux vs Kali Linux: What’s the Difference?
At first, I thought all Linux systems were the same. But here’s what I discovered: • Linux (like Ubuntu or Mint) is a general-purpose operating system — great for beginners, developers, and daily use. • Kali Linux is a powerful tool built specifically for penetration testing and digital forensics. It’s packed with tools like Nmap, Wireshark, and Metasploit.
In short: Kali is for pros. Ubuntu is for learning. So, I started with Ubuntu — and trust me, it was the right call.
Why I’m Starting with Ubuntu
Like any “cybersecurity baby,” I knew I couldn’t jump straight into hacking tools without knowing the basics. With Ubuntu, I’m learning: • Terminal commands • File permissions • Networking tools like ping and netstat • How to install and manage software using apt
It’s not always easy, but every small win makes me feel closer to the goal.
Sharing My Journey
To keep myself motivated and connect with others on the same path, I tweeted this:
“Diving into Linux as a cybersecurity beginner — learning the terminal, commands, permissions, and networking basics. Every line I type gets me closer to mastering the tools behind ethical hacking. It’s tough, but I’m loving the grind. #Linux #CyberSecurity #HackerInTraining”
I even added a little networking spirit:
“Follow for follow — let’s grow in this journey together!”
Joining the Right Communities
Cybersecurity is not a solo game. Here are the communities I’ve joined to stay connected and supported: • TryHackMe Official Discord – Real-time help, study groups, and room support. • Beginner Rooms & Paths on TryHackMe – Great for step-by-step learning. • Reddit (r/tryhackme & r/cybersecurity) – Insightful threads and motivation. • Twitter/X and LinkedIn – Using hashtags like #TryHackMe and #100DaysOfHacking to stay inspired.
Final Thoughts
This is just the beginning. I’m learning Linux now so that I can confidently explore Kali Linux, digital forensics, ethical hacking, and everything in between.
If you’re on a similar path — let’s connect, learn, and grow together. The cyber world is waiting.

2025-05-16 08:38:57Liebe Abonnenten,
am Sonntag ging es im Essay „Das AGI-Project” um die geopolitischen Auswirkungen von künstlicher Intelligenz. Die USA und China befinden sich in einem Wettrennen, um die ökonomische und militärische Vorherrschaft. Das folgende Gespräch mit dem Künstler Künstler Snicklink dreht sich die konkreten Auswirkungen von KI auf unser Leben.
Snickling ist bereits zum zweiten Mal bei BlingBling zum Interview. Wer ihn noch nicht kennt, sollte das schnell nachholen. Spätestens seit 2023 ist der KI-Künstler einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit bekannt. Seine Videos sind oft messerscharfe Satire-Kunst, die mittels Collagen und DeepFakes den Irrsinn unserer Zeit auf den Punkt bringen. Hinter Snicklink steckt der Mensch und Berliner Künstler Willy Kramer, der immer wieder auch künstliche Intelligenz und die Zukunft der Menschen zum Thema hat.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThX3b5OSqUg
Willy, ich fand dein letztes Video beeindruckend gerade, weil es mal keine Satire war, sondern einen ernsten Ton hatte. Du sagst darin, dass kreative Arbeit bald vollständig von Künstlicher Intelligenz ersetzt werden könnte. Kannst du das jemandem erklären, der sich wenig mit KI auskennt? Was kommt da auf uns zu und warum?
Das ist eine große Frage. Ich betrachte das aus zwei Perspektiven: einer kreativen und einer gesellschaftlichen. Kreativ gesehen ist KI ein unglaublich mächtiges Werkzeug. Stell dir vor, ich könnte hundert Assistenten engagieren – oder ich nutze KI-Tools, die günstiger, schneller und oft präziser sind. Das ist die praktische Seite. Gesellschaftlich und technologisch geht es um viel mehr als nur Kunst oder einzelne Projekte. KI ist eine Entwicklung, die ich mit der Entdeckung des Feuers oder der Öffnung der Büchse der Pandora vergleiche. Das klingt dramatisch, aber ich übertreibe nicht. Ich beschäftige mich seit zehn Jahren intensiv mit dem Thema. Am Anfang war es spekulativ, und ich hatte kaum Gesprächspartner. Google und ein paar kleinere Firmen fingen gerade an, KI zu erforschen. Ich habe Workshops gegeben, aber viele hielten mich für einen Spinner. Trotzdem war mir klar, wohin das führt.
Vor zehn Jahren habe ich ein Video namens Emphasized Prophecy gemacht: Ein Typ sitzt am Strand, mit einem leeren Schreibtisch und einer kleinen Box, und erstellt per Sprachbefehl eine multimediale Kampagne. Heute, zehn Jahre später, arbeite ich mit einem Setup, das genau das ermöglicht – und noch mehr.
Welche Tools nutzt du konkret? Du bist ja schon tief in der praktischen Anwendung von KI.
Ich bin kein Programmierer, der stundenlang Skripte schreibt, aber ich bin ziemlich involviert. Alles begann so richtig mit dem „ChatGPT-Moment“ vor zweieinhalb Jahren, als plötzlich alle die Möglichkeiten von KI erkannten. Inzwischen nutze ich eine Suite aus etwa 200 verschiedenen Plugins und Services. Früher gab es spezialisierte KI für spezifische Aufgaben, etwa für den Stimmklang oder die „Deutschheit“ einer Stimme. Heute werden die Modelle größer und vielseitiger. Man braucht nur noch ein oder zwei Modelle, die Stimmen, Bilder, Videos und sogar Programmierung abdecken. Bald wird es ein einziges, universelles Modell geben.
Wir befinden uns in einem globalen Wettlauf, vor allem zwischen den USA und China. Jeder will das eine Modell entwickeln, das alle kreativen und administrativen Aufgaben erledigt – ähnlich wie Google damals die Suche revolutionierte.
Welche Benutzeroberfläche oder Tools wie Grok, ChatGPT setzen sich durch?
Jede Plattform hat ihre Stärken. Grok zum Beispiel hat direkten Zugriff auf Social-Media-Daten, was ein Vorteil ist. OpenAI hingegen punktet mit ausgefeilten Denkmodellen. Es ist wie bei einem Basketballteam: Der eine spielt stark in der Verteidigung, der andere wirft präzise Dreier. Für 99 Prozent der Nutzer macht das keinen Unterschied. Ob du mit ChatGPT einen Liebesbrief, einen Finanzamtsbrief oder psychologische Beratung formulierst – die Unterschiede sind marginal. Die Technologie entwickelt sich so rasant, dass wir alle paar Monate völlig neue Möglichkeiten bekommen, die im Alltag direkt nutzbar sind und Dinge ermöglichen, die vorher undenkbar waren.
Du hast erwähnt, dass der nächste Schritt KI-Agenten sein könnten, die untereinander kommunizieren. Kannst du das ausführen?
Stell dir die Digitalisierung wie die Erfindung des Rades vor: Es war ein Fortschritt, aber es waren nur Fahrräder. Jetzt kommt die Dampfmaschine – KI-Agenten sind die nächsten „Fahrzeuge“. Diese Agenten nutzen Sprachbefehle nicht nur, um Antworten zu geben, sondern um komplexe Aufgaben zu lösen: Kampagnen erstellen, Finanzberichte schreiben, Fünfjahrespläne für Patienten basierend auf den besten Forschungspapieren entwickeln. Aktuell braucht man noch Know-how, um die richtigen Anweisungen zu geben. Bald wird das überflüssig, weil KI dein Profil kennt und mit einem einfachen „Go“ alles erledigt – von der Suche nach der nächsten Apotheke bis zur Planung einer Operation.
Heißt das, wir steuern auf eine Überflussgesellschaft zu?
Das ist die Utopie, ja. KI kann eine Welt schaffen, in der es keinen Mangel mehr gibt – alles ist verfügbar, erschwinglich oder sogar kostenlos. Niemand hat mehr materielle oder körperliche Sorgen. Aber das bringt neue Herausforderungen: Wie gehen wir als Menschen damit um? Unsere Gesellschaft definiert Wert über Status, Arbeit, Besitz. Wenn das wegfällt, weil nur noch fünf Prozent der Menschen arbeiten, müssen wir uns neu erfinden. Wir brauchen eine Postleistungsgesellschaft, in der Kreativität, Freundlichkeit oder vielleicht Spiritualität den Ton angeben.
Das klingt nach einem Verteilungsproblem. Muss da nicht massiv umverteilt werden?
Das ganze Interview gibt es hier zu lesen: https://blingbling.substack.com/p/eine-welt-ohne-mangel

We all have those moments when everything feels like it’s falling apart. For me, one terrible hour last spring became a turning point, teaching me how to flip stress into strength. It wasn’t easy, but it showed me that even our worst moments can lead to breakthroughs. Here’s my story and how you can turn your tough hours around.
The Hour It All Crashed It was a Thursday morning, and I was already stretched thin. I’d overslept, missed a work deadline, and got a curt email from my boss. Then, my phone buzzed with bad news: a close friend was moving away. By 10 a.m., I was sitting at my kitchen table, heart racing, feeling like a failure. My mind spiraled—why couldn’t I get it together? I was ready to call it a day and hide under my covers. But something in me refused to give up. I decided to face the chaos instead of running from it.
The Turnaround: Three Simple Steps I didn’t have a grand plan, but I tried three things that shifted everything. First, I breathed—deep, slow breaths for a minute to calm my racing heart. Second, I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down what was overwhelming me: the deadline, the email, my friend’s news. Seeing it on paper made it less monstrous. Third, I picked one small action: I emailed my boss an honest apology and a plan to fix the missed deadline. It wasn’t perfect, but it was a start. Those steps—breathe, write, act—took less than 15 minutes but gave me a sense of control.
From Breakdown to Breakthrough That hour didn’t magically fix everything, but it changed my perspective. By noon, I’d tackled the deadline and called my friend to plan a goodbye hangout. More than that, I felt proud. I’d taken a moment that could’ve crushed me and turned it into proof I could handle hard things. Later, I reflected on why it worked: the breathing grounded me, writing clarified my thoughts, and acting gave me momentum. I started using this approach whenever stress hit. For instance, when anxiety flared before a big presentation, I used the same steps and ended up nailing it. My mental health grew stronger because I learned to see tough moments as opportunities, not endings.
Why It Matters This experience taught me that our worst hours don’t define us—how we respond does. You don’t need to be a superhero; you just need a few tools to shift the moment. Those three steps are like a mental first-aid kit, always there when life gets messy. They’ve helped me build resilience, and I lean on them to stay steady. It’s not about avoiding stress; it’s about moving through it with purpose. I’ve shared this with others, and they’ve turned their own bad hours into wins, too.
Make Your Moment Count Your next tough hour could be your best if you choose to act. Try my three steps: breathe, write, do one small thing. It’s not about fixing everything—it’s about starting. What’s a moment you turned around? How do you pull yourself out of a rough patch? Drop a comment or share your story in a note. Let’s lift each other up and make our worst hours the start of something great!

I used to think big changes required big effort—hours of work, drastic life overhauls. But a tiny habit, just five minutes a day, rewired how I think and feel. It’s called gratitude journaling, and it’s become my secret weapon for mental clarity and self-improvement. Here’s how it changed my life and why it might work for you.
Feeling Stuck in the Fog A year ago, I was in a mental rut. Work stress, endless to-do lists, and a nagging sense I wasn’t doing enough left me drained. My mornings started with dread, my mind racing with what I hadn’t accomplished. I’d read about gratitude but thought it was fluffy nonsense—how could listing “good things” fix my chaos? Then, one sleepless night, I grabbed a notebook and scribbled three things I was thankful for: my coffee, a friend’s text, the sun coming up. It felt awkward, but I slept better. The next day, I did it again. That tiny act became my lifeline.
The Habit: Five Minutes of Gratitude Here’s how it works: every morning, I spend five minutes writing three things I’m grateful for. They don’t have to be profound—sometimes it’s my cozy blanket or a kind word from a stranger. The key is consistency. I keep a small notebook by my bed, and it’s the first thing I do after brushing my teeth. If I’m rushed, I jot them in my phone. I also add a quick “why” for each, like “I’m grateful for my coffee because it warms my hands and wakes me up.” This makes it personal, not just a checklist. It’s simple, but it shifts my focus from what’s wrong to what’s right.
How It Rewired Me At first, I didn’t notice much. But after a week, my mornings felt lighter. Instead of waking up to stress, I’d smile at my notebook, remembering yesterday’s small joys. Over months, the habit rewired my brain. Studies say gratitude boosts serotonin and dopamine, and I believe it—I felt calmer, more optimistic. When work got tough, I’d pause and recall my list, grounding myself. For example, during a rough week when a project flopped, I wrote, “I’m grateful for my team’s support because they had my back.” It didn’t erase the failure, but it reminded me I wasn’t alone. My mental health improved, and I started seeing possibilities where I once saw dead ends.
Why It’s Worth Trying This habit isn’t a cure-all, but it’s a spark. It taught me that small actions can shift big emotions. I’m not perfect—some days, I still grumble—but gratitude pulls me back. It’s like a mental reset, helping me face challenges with hope. Plus, it’s flexible: you can do it anywhere, anytime, no fancy tools needed. I’ve even shared it with friends, and they’ve noticed shifts, too. It’s not about ignoring pain; it’s about balancing it with light.
Start Your Own Spark You don’t need hours to change your mindset—just five minutes. Try it tomorrow: grab a notebook, write three things you’re grateful for, and say why. Do it for a week, and see how it feels. What’s one small joy you’re thankful for today? How do you keep your mind clear when life gets heavy? Share your thoughts below or post a note—let’s inspire each other to rewire our brains, one tiny habit at a time!
Thanks for reading. Much love, Unknownfx

2025-05-16 05:35:17CHAPTER TWENTY
The Ray family exchanged glances. Mark smirked faintly, leaning toward Helen. “It’s probably one of those foreign board members,” he muttered. “No way it’s James.”
Helen nodded with a smug expression. “James is just a placeholder. A temporary President."
Even Tracy looked up from her phone, curious but confident in her assumption that the former street man she helped frame could never amount to much more.
But just as Mr. JP inhaled to say the name, a loud and chaotic voice broke through the hall.
“There he is!” a young woman shrieked from the back, storming down the aisle. “That’s him! That’s my brother! He threw me out like trash when I asked for help!”
The entire room fell into stunned silence. Gasps erupted from every corner as the woman dressed in tattered clothes for effect pointed dramatically at James, who remained seated with a stoic expression.
Cameras immediately turned toward her. Reporters snapped photos and started whispering frantically into their microphones.
“What is going on?” someone muttered from the crowd.
Mark nearly jumped in excitement. “This is perfect,” he whispered to Helen. “Let her ruin him in public!”
Helen chuckled darkly, “Couldn’t be better timing.”
But the moment was far from victorious.
Mr. JP’s face turned crimson with rage. He slammed a hand on the podium and shouted, “Security!”
Guards rushed in and surrounded the woman, who was still putting on a show for the cameras.
“I said remove her!” Mr. JP bellowed. “This is a private event, and that woman is not my daughter nor does she have any relation to my family!”
The woman’s protest turned into stammers. “But… I”
“You were paid to do this, weren’t you?” Mrs. JP cut in fiercely, standing beside her husband. “You dared to come here to sabotage our son’s moment? Arrest her at once!”
As the security officers grabbed the woman and escorted her out, the room remained frozen.
Mr. JP stepped back to the microphone, eyes blazing.
“Now let me make this perfectly clear,” he announced, his voice shaking with fury and pride. “The man you just tried to humiliate, the man you dared to frame, is not just the President of JP Enterprises…”
He turned toward James, his gaze softening with emotion.
“He is my only son. James JP. The true heir to everything I have built. My blood. My pride. My legacy.”
The entire hall erupted into gasps again this time, not from shock, but from awe.
Cameras turned sharply toward James, who now stood slowly from his seat. Mrs. JP immediately walked over and wrapped her arm around her son with tears in her eyes.
“We love you, son,” she said tenderly. “You deserve every bit of this moment.”
James gave a small nod, his eyes scanning the room as all those who once looked down on him now looked up in silence.
From their seats, Helen and Mark were speechless.
Tracy clutched her phone, her hands trembling.
This wasn’t supposed to happen… this wasn’t in the plan… she thought.
James turned to face the Ray family directly. His eyes were calm, but piercing.
The grand ballroom had descended into an eerie quiet. All eyes were now fixed on James, the man who had once been mocked as a beggar, ridiculed as a street dweller, and dismissed as a disgrace to the Ray family. But there he stood tall, refined, and composed as the sole heir to the JP empire.
Reporters who once whispered slanderous headlines now stood frozen, their cameras lowered slightly, unsure whether to record this new twist or pause in awe. Among them, Tracy felt a chill run down her spine. Her earlier confidence had vanished like smoke, replaced by the crushing weight of guilt and dread. She couldn’t even meet James’s gaze.
Helen, seated a few rows ahead, was seething silently. Her fingers clenched the silk of her gown tightly, knuckles whitening. Mark sat beside her, pale-faced and stiff. All his previous arrogance had withered into regret. This wasn’t the plan. This wasn’t supposed to happen. James wasn’t supposed to rise. Not like this.
As the hall slowly began to clap, starting from the board members of JP Enterprises to representatives of international partners who respected Mr. JP’s authority, the applause grew louder. It became thunderous, roaring like justice finally given form. The heir had been revealed, and it wasn’t just a title it was a crown reclaimed.
Mr. JP gestured for silence once again, and when the room obeyed, he turned to James and said, “Son, I may have failed you in the past. I listened to lies, I acted in anger, and I walked away when I should’ve stood by your side. But today, in front of the world, I ask for your forgiveness and welcome you back not just as the President, but as the heart of JP Enterprises.”
The crowd erupted into another round of claps, cheers, and whistles. Emotions swirled through the hall like a whirlwind.
James slowly approached the podium, every step echoing the long journey he had endured. From rejection, betrayal, and homelessness to becoming the man everyone now admired.
He adjusted the microphone and let his calm voice wash over the crowd.
“I never imagined this day would come. Not because I didn’t believe in myself but because for a long time, the world refused to believe in me. Many of you here know me as the President. Some only know me through headlines good and bad. And a few… know me as the man they once threw away.”
His words cut through the crowd like glass.
He turned his gaze slowly toward the Ray family. “To those who called me worthless… to those who spat at my name, who mocked me when I had nothing… thank you.”
Gasps filled the room.
