Bitcoin Life Insurer, Meanwhile, Becomes First Company to Publish Audited Financials Denominated in BitcoinMeanwhile Insurance Bitcoin (Bermuda) Limited (âMeanwhileâ) announced it has become the first company in the world to release externally audited financial statements denominated entirely in Bitcoin. According to the announcement, the company reported 220.4 BTC in assets and 25.29 BTC in net income for 2024, a 300% year over year increase.
Today marks a global first & historic event for us, along with the public release of our 2024 audited financial statements, covering our 1st year of sales.

â meanwhile | Bitcoin Life Insurance (@meanwhilelife) June 5, 2025
âWeâve just made history as the first company in the world to have Bitcoin-denominated financial statements externally audited,â said Zac Townsend, CEO of Meanwhile. âThis is an important, foundational step in reimagining the financial system based on a single, global, decentralized standard outside the control of any one government.âÂ
The financial statements were audited by Harris & Trotter LLP and its digital asset division ht.digital. Meanwhileâs financials also comply with Bermudaâs Insurance Act 1978, noting that their BTC denominated financials were approved and comply with official guidelines. The firm, fully licensed by the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA), operates entirely in BTC and is prohibited from liquidating Bitcoin assets except through policyholder claims, positioning it as a long term holder.Â
âAs the first regulated Bitcoin life insurance company, we view the BTC held by Meanwhile as inherently long-term in natureâprimarily held to support the Companyâs insurance liabilities over decades,â Townsend added. âThis makes it significantly âstickierâ and resistant to market pressures compared to the BTC held by other companies as part of their treasury management strategies.âÂ
Meanwhileâs 2024 financials also revealed 23.02 BTC in net premiums and 4.35 BTC in investment income, showing that its model not only preserves Bitcoin, but earns it. The companyâs reserves (also held in BTC) were reviewed and approved by Willis Towers Watson (WTW).Â
Meanwhile also offers a Bitcoin Whole Life insurance product that allows policyholders to save, borrow, and build legacy wealthâentirely in BTC, and has plans to expand globally in 2025.
âWe are incredibly proud of todayâs news as it underscores how Meanwhile is at the forefront of the next phase of the convergence between Bitcoin and institutional financial markets,â said Tia Beckmann, CFO of Meanwhile. âNow having generated net income in BTC, we have demonstrated that we are earning it through a sustainable insurance business model designed for the long term.âÂ

2025-06-09 12:46:55A brinicle (brine icicle, also known as an ice stalactite) is a downward-growing hollow tube of ice enclosing a plume of descending brine that is formed beneath developing sea ice.
As seawater freezes in the polar ocean, salt brine concentrates are expelled from the sea ice, creating a downward flow of dense, extremely cold, saline water, with a lower freezing point than the surrounding water. When this plume comes into contact with the neighboring ocean water, its extremely low temperature causes ice to instantly form around the flow. This creates a hollow stalactite, or icicle, referred to as a brinicle. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brinicle

2025-06-09 12:45:21Finding Calm in the Chaos
Ever notice how you start future-mapping to calm your nerves⊠and end up more anxious than when you began? Youâre not alone! Join us for a playful, real-talk exploration of why our brilliant minds try to control everything â and how empathy, Buddhist wisdom, and EFT tapping can help us step out of the anxious loop and land back in the delicious now.
https://www.thrivingnow.center/t/1491/4
We coveredâŠ
1. Future Mapping is Fish-and-Water Awareness We often donât realize how much mental energy we spend constantly planning scenarios - âif it rains, if they get upset, if this happens then thatâŠâ This protective pattern started early but now we can bring it into conscious awareness and choose how much energy to invest.
2. The Empathy App Creates Endless Scenarios Our empathetic nature means weâre not just planning for ourselves - weâre mapping out everyone elseâs potential reactions, feelings, and needs. This creates exponentially more âwhat ifâ scenarios that keep our minds spinning in overdrive.
3. Fault-Finding is Too Crude for Thriving When we automatically assign blame (usually to ourselves), weâre operating from primitive brain patterns. Upgrading to a more refined viewpoint means seeing the âdance of energiesâ where everyone contributes and sometimes feet get stepped on - itâs part of life.
4. We Canât Actually Control the River Life flows like a river, and we can steer our canoe but we cannot change the river itself. Our anxiety often signals weâre trying to do the impossible - control weather, other peopleâs moods, or outcomes beyond our influence.
5. Magical Thinking Says âIf I Worry Enough, It Will Work Outâ We unconsciously believe that suffering through worry ahead of time will somehow guarantee good outcomes. Our nervous system knows this is a lie, which creates more anxiety. We can release this âprepaymentâ fantasy.
6. Distributing the Broccoli Back to Its Owners We often scoop up everyone elseâs responsibilities onto our plate to avoid conflict or being blamed. Learning to ask âIs this really my broccoli?â helps us return emotional and practical responsibilities to their rightful owners.
7. Include Safe and Good Possibilities in Your Maps When we only map threats and problems, we miss opportunities for joy, connection, and creative solutions. Consciously including positive possibilities activates different parts of ourselves - the creative, hopeful, and inspired aspects.
8. Tapping While Thinking Moves Energy Out of Stuck Loops Simply speaking our thoughts aloud while tapping the acupressure points breaks the narrow band of mental spinning. This engages our bodyâs intelligence and often reveals what words or feelings want to emerge beyond our conscious planning.
9. Being With What Is vs. Making Everyone Happy Instead of trying to make everyone feel good all the time (which is impossible), we can practice being present with people as they actually are. This is more respectful, connected, and requires much less exhausting management.
10. Anxiety Can Be Wise Body Guidance Rather than just a problem to fix, our anxiety often signals weâre trying to do something unwise - like changing unchangeable things or telling ourselves lies about what we can control. We can listen to this guidance.
11. The Sweet Spot of Thoughtful Planning Weâre not throwing away our planning abilities - weâre finding the balance between appropriate preparation (throwing an umbrella in the bag) and exhausting over-management (trying to control every possible variable). Good and sufficient planning honors both our intelligence and lifeâs natural flow.

2025-06-09 06:02:17Bank run on every crypto bank then bank run on every "real" bank.
â ODELL (@ODELL) December 14, 2022
Good morning.
It looks like PacWest will fail today. It will be both the fifth largest bank failure in US history and the sixth major bank to fail this year. It will likely get purchased by one of the big four banks in a government orchestrated sale. Â
March 8th - Silvergate Bank
March 10th - Silicon Valley Bank
March 12th - Signature Bank
March 19th - Credit Suisse
May 1st - First Republic Bank
May 4th - PacWest Bank?PacWest is the first of many small regional banks that will go under this year. Most will get bought by the big four in gov orchestrated sales. This has been the playbook since 2008. Follow the incentives. Massive consolidation across the banking industry. PacWest gonna be a drop in the bucket compared to what comes next.
First, a hastened government led bank consolidation, then a public/private partnership with the remaining large banks to launch a surveilled and controlled digital currency network. We will be told it is more convenient. We will be told it is safer. We will be told it will prevent future bank runs. All of that is marketing bullshit. The goal is greater control of money. The ability to choose how we spend it and how we save it. If you control the money - you control the people that use it.

2025-06-09 06:02:17People forget Bear Stearns failed March 2008 - months of denial followed before the public realized how bad the situation was under the surface.
Similar happening now but much larger scale. They did not fix fundamental issues after 2008 - everything is more fragile.
The Fed preemptively bailed out every bank with their BTFP program and First Republic Bank still failed. The second largest bank failure in history.
There will be more failures. There will be more bailouts. Depositors will be "protected" by socializing losses across everyone.
Our President and mainstream financial pundits are currently pretending the banking crisis is over while most banks remain insolvent. There are going to be many more bank failures as this ponzi system unravels.
Unlike 2008, we have the ability to opt out of these broken and corrupt institutions by using bitcoin. Bitcoin held in self custody is unique in its lack of counterparty risk - you do not have to trust a bank or other centralized entity to hold it for you. Bitcoin is also incredibly difficult to change by design since it is not controlled by an individual, company, or government - the supply of dollars will inevitably be inflated to bailout these failing banks but bitcoin supply will remain unchanged. I do not need to convince you that bitcoin provides value - these next few years will convince millions.

2025-06-09 06:02:16Nostr is an open communication protocol that can be used to send messages across a distributed set of relays in a censorship resistant and robust way.
If you missed my nostr introduction post you can find it here. My nostr account can be found here.
We are nearly at the point that if something interesting is posted on a centralized social platform it will usually be posted by someone to nostr.
We are nearly at the point that if something interesting is posted exclusively to nostr it is cross posted by someone to various centralized social platforms.
We are nearly at the point that you can recommend a cross platform app that users can install and easily onboard without additional guides or resources.
As companies continue to build walls around their centralized platforms nostr posts will be the easiest to cross reference and verify - as companies continue to censor their users nostr is the best censorship resistant alternative - gradually then suddenly nostr will become the standard. đ«Ą

2025-06-09 05:02:25What is KYC/AML?
- The acronym stands for Know Your Customer / Anti Money Laundering.
- In practice it stands for the surveillance measures companies are often compelled to take against their customers by financial regulators.
- Methods differ but often include: Passport Scans, Driver License Uploads, Social Security Numbers, Home Address, Phone Number, Face Scans.
- Bitcoin companies will also store all withdrawal and deposit addresses which can then be used to track bitcoin transactions on the bitcoin block chain.
- This data is then stored and shared. Regulations often require companies to hold this information for a set number of years but in practice users should assume this data will be held indefinitely. Data is often stored insecurely, which results in frequent hacks and leaks. Â
- KYC/AML data collection puts all honest users at risk of theft, extortion, and persecution while being ineffective at stopping crime. Criminals often use counterfeit, bought, or stolen credentials to get around the requirements. Criminals can buy "verified" accounts for as little as $200. Furthermore, billions of people are excluded from financial services as a result of KYC/AML requirements.
During the early days of bitcoin most services did not require this sensitive user data, but as adoption increased so did the surveillance measures. At this point, most large bitcoin companies are collecting and storing massive lists of bitcoiners, our sensitive personal information, and our transaction history.
Lists of Bitcoiners
KYC/AML policies are a direct attack on bitcoiners. Lists of bitcoiners and our transaction history will inevitably be used against us.
Once you are on a list with your bitcoin transaction history that record will always exist. Generally speaking, tracking bitcoin is based on probability analysis of ownership change. Surveillance firms use various heuristics to determine if you are sending bitcoin to yourself or if ownership is actually changing hands. Â You can obtain better privacy going forward by using collaborative transactions such as coinjoin to break this probability analysis.
Fortunately, you can buy bitcoin without providing intimate personal information. Tools such as peach, hodlhodl, robosats, azteco and bisq help; mining is also a solid option: anyone can plug a miner into power and internet and earn bitcoin by mining privately.
You can also earn bitcoin by providing goods and/or services that can be purchased with bitcoin. Long term, circular economies will mitigate this threat: most people will not buy bitcoin - they will earn bitcoin - most people will not sell bitcoin - they will spend bitcoin.
There is no such thing as KYC or No KYC bitcoin, there are bitcoiners on lists and those that are not on lists.

2025-06-09 12:45:09You probably already know that Iâve been playing around with the whole Nostr thing.
Well, slowly I have been posting my content on Nostr. The long-form content., like my https://www.theintuitivechiropractor.com am using Habla.news
Habla.News is basically a blog app. Itâs like a Substack, but you donât have the newsletter feature, but I hear one may be in the works.
So from what I understand so far, your content is all published in one stream, but different sites handle the content differently.
A Twitter-like short post reader like Primal will organize short post and a long-form reader like Habla will do the articles.
I created a personal webpage on Npub.Pro and a links page (like a LinkTree) as well.
You can click on to see some of those pages.
Now, Iâm having issues with the NPub page, because sometimes it wants to show my content, sometimes it decides not to.
Did I mention all of this is FREE?
Itâs a bit complicated to setup at first, especially if you are unfamiliar with crypto wallets and that kind of stuff-but you get the feeling this is all new stuff and we are here in a new frontier where this could end up being revolutionary.
Follow my posts on here to see how I progress. If you would like to start on Nostr, I will do everything I can to help you out.
Live Long and Prosper,

"Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. Â A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world." - Eric Hughes, A Cypherpunk's Manifesto, 1993
Privacy is essential to freedom. Without privacy, individuals are unable to make choices free from surveillance and control. Lack of privacy leads to loss of autonomy. When individuals are constantly monitored it limits our ability to express ourselves and take risks. Any decisions we make can result in negative repercussions from those who surveil us. Without the freedom to make choices, individuals cannot truly be free.
Freedom is essential to acquiring and preserving wealth. When individuals are not free to make choices, restrictions and limitations prevent us from economic opportunities. If we are somehow able to acquire wealth in such an environment, lack of freedom can result in direct asset seizure by governments or other malicious entities. At scale, when freedom is compromised, it leads to widespread economic stagnation and poverty. Protecting freedom is essential to economic prosperity.
The connection between privacy, freedom, and wealth is critical. Without privacy, individuals lose the freedom to make choices free from surveillance and control. While lack of freedom prevents individuals from pursuing economic opportunities and makes wealth preservation nearly impossible. No Privacy? No Freedom. No Freedom? No Wealth.
Rights are not granted. They are taken and defended. Rights are often misunderstood as permission to do something by those holding power. However, if someone can give you something, they can inherently take it from you at will. People throughout history have necessarily fought for basic rights, including privacy and freedom. These rights were not given by those in power, but rather demanded and won through struggle. Even after these rights are won, they must be continually defended to ensure that they are not taken away. Rights are not granted - they are earned through struggle and defended through sacrifice.

2025-06-09 12:39:53I literally have no clue what I'm doing.
Nostr is a decentralized protocol that lets users share messages and content through independent servers called relays, ensuring no single entity controls the network. It uses cryptographic keys to verify identities and secure messages, making it censorship-resistant and privacy-focused.
That is the simplest definition that Grok could come up with defining what is Nostr.
Iâve been intrigued by this because it ties in blockchain, publishing content and privacy all into one.
It is intimately tied to a Bitcoin wallet, where readers can âZapâ you tips in Satoshis- which is Bitcoin âchangeâ
There are no intermediaries, no card processing fees, no gatekeepers to keep your content hidden,none of that.
Maybe iâm still mad about being censored on social media for my Covid-19 posts, but the idea of not being able to be censored by a corporation or even my own government is appealing to me.
There are apps to see videos, blog apps and social media type apps.
You own your content and you can move it around wherever you like.
I will be experimenting with posting on there.
Iâve got two profiles on there (I told you I didnt know what I was doing)
Iâm inviting you to join me on Nostr.
Live Long and Prosper,
_Dan

@ 73d8a0c3:c1853717
2025-06-09 14:44:27[*What follows is an excerpt from my Novel: Redacted Science. It is a work in progress as I document 30 year long battle with a condition I know exists because I've seen the research. But, you cannot find it anymore. While my condition is worthy to note, and the science behind it fascinating, there is a larger issue at hand that we need to consider deeply in the tumultuous days to come. Who controls the data? Who controls the indexing? Everything is built from that which comes before. The novel 1984 was not just prescient â it was a warning we archived. Our LLMs learn from their indexes. We, as people, learn from memory â memories weâve indexed, often anchored by photos weâve kept. Societies, too, learn this way. They age. Each generation builds upon the memories of the last.
Our past â our index â creates the future. So... who controls the indexes? Who is shaping the future?*]
Maybe it wasnât just bad luck. Maybe it started way earlier.
I used to wet the bed. Not once or twice. The doctors had said, and my Mom assured me, it would go away with age. And it did. The last time I remember wetting the bed I was a month from turning 16 years-old. [As I write this now, it is the first time I really come to grips with the fact I was that age.] The reason I know precisely the year and even the month was because I was on my sophomore church choir trip just after the school year completed. I was rooming with three other guys, and therefore sharing a bed with my best friend in the world. He never mentioned anything. Maybe he noticed. Maybe he didnât. But thatâs not just embarrassing. Thatâs diagnostic, if anyone's paying attention. I didnât know it back then, but kids who wet the bed that long often have something wrong with the way their brain regulates antidiuretic hormone â ADH. The same hormone Iâd later drown in.
Most people get a nice surge of ADH at night. Itâs the bodyâs way of saying: Weâre asleep now. Letâs conserve water, hold the urine. But if that signalâs off â if the hypothalamus doesnât cue it, or the pituitary doesnât release it, or the kidneys donât listen â then the urine keeps coming. Every night. Like clockwork. Like something upstream never got the message.
Now fast forward.
Years later, Iâve got the opposite problem. Too much ADH. My kidneys hold everything. They think Iâm dehydrated when Iâm not. Itâs like the system flipped, rewired itself backwards. And thatâs not how regulation is supposed to work. Unless⊠maybe it never worked right to begin with.
Then thereâs the seizure. Just one. Just a baby. Supposedly no big deal. But when a seizure hits in infancy â especially in or around the hypothalamus â it can scar circuits that control everything downstream: temperature, hunger, stress, thirst, hormone pulses, salt sensing. What if that one storm rewrote the rules?
Weâve got osmoreceptors in the brain â little sensors that taste the salt in our blood, literally â and baroreceptors in our neck and chest that feel pressure and stretch. Those two signals are supposed to balance out: salt vs volume. But what if the integration point, the part of the brain that weighs the inputs and decides whether to release ADH, got damaged? Or miscalibrated? Or hijacked?
What if that seizure set the initial mismatch?
What if bedwetting was the system trying to adapt to low nighttime ADH? What if a genetic condition made me susceptible to candidiasis being able to coexist with my system on a deeper level than normal? What if the candidiasis was the reason for the ADH malfunctions, even as a child, and that was due to some rare undocumented genetic trait? I bet someone would be interested in knowing about that trait. [Thatâs what weâre here for folks. You have to find it or, at a minimum, the science they redacted]. Or what if the seizure changed something and the candidiasis stepped in to âfixâ it?
I have a deeper theory.
What if my so-called âadult-onsetâ SIADH isnât an onset at all â but just the next phase of a long-broken feedback loop? Genetics, early seizures â maybe they didnât just damage me. Maybe they rewired me for something different. What if I â and others like me â entered a kind of cooperative state with candidiasis, not as invaders, but as metabolic partners?
A symbiosis. An adaptation. A strange kind of upgrade.
Then phenobarbital hits â and everything breaks.
That drug might not just act on the brain. It may disrupt the fungal integration itself â cutting the shared metabolic wiring. And when that happens, the system flips its fuel priority. With the usual pathways disrupted, the body â or the fungus â starts scavenging protein directly from tissue. From me.
Thatâs why the patients in the case studies I found all had mucosal lining ulcerations (just like mine) â sudden, inconsistent, painful and immediately after administration of phenobarbitol â not as a reaction, but as a feeding response. We all had colonies in different places. The rupture didnât just break the truce. It flipped the fuel switch. And what was once symbiosis became consumption.
What if itâs all related?
What if we werenât just infected â we were entangled?
Even the HPA axis â that central stress command â itâs run by the hypothalamus too. And mine doesnât work like yours. My mind is usually running at a speed that, in all honesty, is not what most people have going on. During all these transitions, things hit me different. . Iâve gone through significantly long periods of what I would just call temperature disregulation, where my system is just not right.
This isnât just a hormone problem. Itâs a whole-brain misinterpretation of reality. A mistranslation between body and mind, with electrolytes as the lost language. And, this treatment, it puts everything in overdrive. That's why we don't have it documented. This treatment, even though it causes a lifetime of on and off dysregulation as it breaks down the barriers to reach total maximal ATP consumption by the candidiasis, it is an upgrade in many ways. An overclock worthy of the best hard-code gamer.
So no. I donât think my path was random. I think there is something more significant. The body type similarities of the men in the original documented study and same initiating condition that led to the treatment that then caused the iatrogenic condition
It was earned. Layered. A slow-building adaptation â maybe even an intelligent one â that didnât quite work, but didnât quite kill me either.
Not yet.

Das heiĂt: Wir haben uns im Spiel zwar nichts geschenkt, aber wir respektieren einander und als Verlierer erkennen wir an, dass die andere Mannschaft besser gespielt hat und unsere Niederlage in Ordnung geht.
https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/die-wrestling-demokratie-ein-kommentar-von-jonny-rieder?
Und auch die Gewinner zollen dem Gegner Respekt, verhöhnen ihn nicht. SelbstverstĂ€ndlich sollte gegenseitiger Respekt auch in der Politik gelten. Man sollte einander zuhören und argumentieren, anstatt Kollegen schon deshalb zu verachten, weil sie einer anderen Partei angehören. Aber: Wenn ein Politiker eine andere Partei massiv kritisiert und ihrem Antrag anschlieĂend trotzdem zustimmt, zeigt er damit nicht Respekt vor dem politischen Gegner, sondern Verachtung fĂŒr den WĂ€hler. Was der Deutsche Bundestag im MĂ€rz 2025 demonstrierte, also in der Ăbergangsphase vom alten Bundestag und dem noch nicht einberufenen neu gewĂ€hlten Parlament, war genau das: angewandte WĂ€hlerverachtung. Etwas zuzustimmen, das ich eben noch vehement verdammt habe, zeugt nicht von DemokratieverstĂ€ndnis oder von politischem Sportsgeist, sondern von dessen fundamentaler Ablehnung. Erst recht, wenn die Zustimmung fĂŒr alle ersichtlich erkauft wurde. Hören Sie Jonny Rieders Kommentar âDie Wrestling-Demokratieâ.

2025-06-07 13:01:07When Sergei talks about bitcoin, he doesnât sound like someone chasing profits or followers. He sounds like someone about to build a monastery in the ruins.
While the mainstream world chases headlines and hype, Sergei shows up in local meetups from Sacramento to Cleveland, mentors curious minds, and shares what he knows is true â hoping that, with the right spark, someone will light their own way forward.
We interviewed Sergei to trace his steps: where he started, what keeps him going, and why teaching bitcoin is far more than explaining how to set up a node â itâs about reaching the right minds before the noise consumes them. So we began where most journeys start: at the beginning.
First Steps
- So, where did it all begin for you and what made you stay curious?
I first heard about bitcoin from a friendâs book recommendation, American Kingpin, the book about Silk Road (online drug marketplace). He is still not a true bitcoiner, although I helped him secure private keys with some bitcoin.
I was really busy at the time â focused on my school curriculum, running a 7-bedroom Airbnb, and working for a standardized test prep company. Bitcoin seemed too technical for me to explore, and the pace of my work left no time for it.
After graduating, while pursuing more training, I started playing around with stocks and maximizing my savings. Passive income seemed like the path to early retirement, as per the promise of the FIRE movement (Financial Independence, Retire Early). I mostly followed the mainstream news and my mentorâs advice â he liked preferred stocks at the time.
I had some Coinbase IOUs and remember sending bitcoin within the Coinbase ledger to a couple friends. I also recall the 2018 crash; I actually saw the legendary price spike live but couldnât benefit because my funds were stuck amidst the frenzy. I withdrew from that investment completely for some time. Thankfully, my mentor advised to keep en eye on bitcoin.
Around late 2019, I started DCA-ing cautiously. Additionally, my friend and I were discussing famous billionaires, and how there was no curriculum for becoming a billionaire. So, I typed âbillionairesâ into my podcast app, and landed on We Study Billionaires podcast.
Thatâs where I kept hearing Preston Pysh mention bitcoin, before splitting into his own podcast series, Bitcoin Fundamentals. I didnât understand most of the terminology of stocks, bonds, etc, yet I kept listening and trying to absorb it thru repetition. Today, I realize all that financial talk was mostly noise.
When people ask me for a technical explanation of fiat, I say: itâs all made up, just like the fiat price of bitcoin! Starting in 2020, during the so-called pandemic, I dove deeper. I religiously read Bitcoin Magazine, scrolled thru Bitcoin Twitter, and joined Simply Bitcoin Telegram group back when DarthCoin was an admin.
DarthCoin was my favorite bitcoiner â experienced, knowledgeable, and unapologetic. Watching him shift from rage to kindness, from passion to despair, gave me a glimpse at what a true educatorâs journey would look like.
The struggle isnât about adoption at scale anymore. Itâs about reaching the few who are willing to study, take risks, and stay out of fiat traps. The vast majority wonât follow that example â not yet at least⊠if I start telling others the requirements for true freedom and prosperity, they would certainly say âHell no!â
- At what point did you start teaching others, and why?
After college, I helped teach at a standardized test preparation company, and mentored some students one-on-one. I even tried working at a kindergarten briefly, but left quickly; Babysitting is not teaching.
What I discovered is that those who will succeed donât really need my help â they would succeed with or without me, because they already have the inner drive.
Once you realize your people are perishing for lack of knowledge, the only rational thing to do is help raise their level of knowledge and understanding. Thatâs the Great Work.
I sometimes imagine myself as a political prisoner. If that were to happen, Iâd probably start teaching fellow prisoners, doctors, janitors, even guards. In a way we already live in an open-air prison, So what else is there to do but teach, organize, and conspire to dismantle the Matrix?
Building on Bitcoin
- You hosted some in-person meetups in Sacramento. What did you learn from those?
My first presentation was on MultiSig storage with SeedSigner, and submarine swaps through Boltz.exchange.
I realized quickly that I had overestimated the groupâs technical background. Even the meetup organizer, a financial advisor, asked, âHow is anyone supposed to follow these steps?â I responded that reading was required⊠He decided that Unchained is an easier way.
At a crypto meetup, I gave a much simpler talk, outlining how bitcoin will save the world, based on a DarthCoinâs guide. Only one person stuck around to ask questions â a man who seemed a little out there, and did not really seem to get the message beyond the strength of cryptographic security of bitcoin.
Again, I overestimated the audienceâs readiness. That forced me to rethink my strategy. People are extremely early and reluctant to study.
- Now in Ohio, you hold sessions via the Orange Pill App. Whatâs changed?
My new motto is: educate the educators. The corollary is: donât orange-pill stupid normies (as DarthCoin puts it).
Iâve shifted to small, technical sessions in order to raise a few solid guardians of this esoteric knowledge who really get it and can carry it forward.
The youngest attendee at one of my sessions is a newborn baby â he mostly sleeps, but maybe he still absorbs some of the educational vibes.
- How do local groups like Sactown and Cleveland Bitcoiners influence your work?
Every meetup reflects its local culture. Sacramento and Bay Area Bitcoiners, for example, do camping trips â once we camped through a desert storm, shielding our burgers from sand while others went to shoot guns.
Cleveland Bitcoiners are different. They amass large gatherings. They recently threw a 100k party. They do a bit more community outreach. Some are curious about the esoteric topics such as jurisdiction, spirituality, and healthful living.
I have no permanent allegiance to any state, race, or group. I go where I can teach and learn. I anticipate that in my next phase, Iâll meet Bitcoiners so advanced that Iâll have to give up my fiat job and focus full-time on serious projects where real health and wealth are on the line.
Hopefully, Iâll be ready. I believe the universe always challenges you exactly to your limit â no less, no more.
- What do people struggle with the most when it comes to technical education?
The biggest struggle isnât technical â itâs a lack of deep curiosity. People ask âhowâ and âwhatâ â how do I set up a node, what should one do with the lightning channels? But very few ask âwhy?â
Why does on-chain bitcoin not contribute to the circular economy? Why is it essential to run Lightning? Why did humanity fall into mental enslavement in the first place?
Iâd rather teach two-year-olds who constantly ask âwhyâ than adults who ask how to flip a profit. What worries me most is that most two-year-olds will grow up asking state-funded AI bots for answers and live according to its recommendations.
- One Cleveland Bitcoiner shows up at gold bug meetups. How valuable is face-to-face education?
I donât think the older generation is going to reverse the current human condition. Most of them have been under mind control for too long, and they just donât have the attention span to study and change their ways.
Theyâre better off stacking gold and helping fund their grandkidsâ education. If I were to focus on a demographic, Iâd go for teenagers â high school age â because by college, the indoctrination is usually too strong, and theyâre chasing fiat mastery.
As for the gold bug meetup? Perhaps one day I will show up with a ukulele to sing some bitcoin-themed songs. Seniors love such entertainment.
- How do you choose what to focus on in your sessions, especially for different types of learners?
I donât come in with a rigid agenda. Iâve collected a massive library of resources over the years and never stopped reading. My browser tab and folder count are exploding.
At the meetup, people share questions or topics theyâre curious about, then I take that home, do my homework, and bring back a session based on those themes. I give them the key takeaways, plus where to dive deeper.
Most people wonât â or canât â study the way I do, and I expect attendees to put in the work. I suspect that itâs more important to reach those who want to learn but donât know how, the so-called nescient (not knowing), rather than the ignorant.
There are way too many ignorant bitcoiners, so my mission is to find those who are curious whatâs beyond the facade of fake reality and superficial promises.
That naturally means that fewer people show up, and thatâs fine. Iâm not here for the crowds; Iâm here to educate the educators. One bitcoiner who came decided to branch off into self-custody sessions and thatâs awesome. Personally, Iâm much more focused on Lightning.
I want to see broader adoption of tools like auth, sign-message, NWC, and LSPs. Next month, Iâm going deep into eCash solutions, because letâs face it â most newcomers wonât be able to afford their own UTXO or open a lightning channel; additionally, it has to be fun and easy for them to transact sats, otherwise they wonât do it. Additionally, theyâll need to rely on

2025-06-09 10:02:20The former seems to have found solid product market fit. Expect significant volume, adoption, and usage going forward.
The latter's future remains to be seen. Dependence on Tor, which has had massive reliability issues, and lack of strong privacy guarantees put it at risk.
â ODELL (@ODELL) October 27, 2022
The Basics
- Lightning is a protocol that enables cheap and fast native bitcoin transactions.
- At the core of the protocol is the ability for bitcoin users to create a payment channel with another user.
- These payment channels enable users to make many bitcoin transactions between each other with only two on-chain bitcoin transactions: the channel open transaction and the channel close transaction.
- Essentially lightning is a protocol for interoperable batched bitcoin transactions.
- It is expected that on chain bitcoin transaction fees will increase with adoption and the ability to easily batch transactions will save users significant money.
- As these lightning transactions are processed, liquidity flows from one side of a channel to the other side, on chain transactions are signed by both parties but not broadcasted to update this balance.
- Lightning is designed to be trust minimized, either party in a payment channel can close the channel at any time and their bitcoin will be settled on chain without trusting the other party.
There is no 'Lightning Network'
- Many people refer to the aggregate of all lightning channels as 'The Lightning Network' but this is a false premise.
- There are many lightning channels between many different users and funds can flow across interconnected channels as long as there is a route through peers.
- If a lightning transaction requires multiple hops it will flow through multiple interconnected channels, adjusting the balance of all channels along the route, and paying lightning transaction fees that are set by each node on the route.
Example: You have a channel with Bob. Bob has a channel with Charlie. You can pay Charlie through your channel with Bob and Bob's channel with User C.
- As a result, it is not guaranteed that every lightning user can pay every other lightning user, they must have a route of interconnected channels between sender and receiver.
Lightning in Practice
- Lightning has already found product market fit and usage as an interconnected payment protocol between large professional custodians.
- They are able to easily manage channels and liquidity between each other without trust using this interoperable protocol.
- Lightning payments between large custodians are fast and easy. End users do not have to run their own node or manage their channels and liquidity. These payments rarely fail due to professional management of custodial nodes.
- The tradeoff is one inherent to custodians and other trusted third parties. Custodial wallets can steal funds and compromise user privacy.
Sovereign Lightning
- Trusted third parties are security holes.
- Users must run their own node and manage their own channels in order to use lightning without trusting a third party. This remains the single largest friction point for sovereign lightning usage: the mental burden of actively running a lightning node and associated liquidity management.
- Bitcoin development prioritizes node accessibility so cost to self host your own node is low but if a node is run at home or office, Tor or a VPN is recommended to mask your IP address: otherwise it is visible to the entire network and represents a privacy risk.
- This privacy risk is heightened due to the potential for certain governments to go after sovereign lightning users and compel them to shutdown their nodes. If their IP Address is exposed they are easier to target.
- Fortunately the tools to run and manage nodes continue to get easier but it is important to understand that this will always be a friction point when compared to custodial services.
The Potential Fracture of Lightning
- Any lightning user can choose which users are allowed to open channels with them.
- One potential is that professional custodians only peer with other professional custodians.
- We already see nodes like those run by CashApp only have channels open with other regulated counterparties. This could be due to performance goals, liability reduction, or regulatory pressure.
- Fortunately some of their peers are connected to non-regulated parties so payments to and from sovereign lightning users are still successfully processed by CashApp but this may not always be the case going forward.
Summary
- Many people refer to the aggregate of all lightning channels as 'The Lightning Network' but this is a false premise. There is no singular 'Lightning Network' but rather many payment channels between distinct peers, some connected with each other and some not.
- Lightning as an interoperable payment protocol between professional custodians seems to have found solid product market fit. Expect significant volume, adoption, and usage going forward.
- Lightning as a robust sovereign payment protocol has yet to be battle tested. Heavy reliance on Tor, which has had massive reliability issues, the friction of active liquidity management, significant on chain fee burden for small amounts, interactivity constraints on mobile, and lack of strong privacy guarantees put it at risk.
If you have never used lightning before, use this guide to get started on your phone.

2025-06-07 13:01:01âNot your keys, not your coinsâ isnât a sloganâitâs a survival mantra in the age of digital sovereignty.
The seismic collapses of Mt. Gox (2014) and FTX (2022) werenât anomalies; they were wake-up calls. When $8.7 billion in customer funds vanished with FTX, it exposed the fatal flaw of third-party custody:Â your bitcoin is only as secure as your custodianâs weakest link.
Yet today, As of early 2025, analysts estimate that between 2.3 million and 3.7 million Bitcoins are permanently lost, representing approximately 11â18% of bitcoinâs fixed maximum supply of 21 million coins, with some reports suggesting losses as high as 4 million BTC. This paradox reveals a critical truth: self-custody isnât just preferableâitâs essentialâbut it must be done right.
The Custody Spectrum
Custodial Wallets (The Illusion of Control)
- Rehypothecation Risk:Â Most platforms lend your bitcoin for yield generation. When Celsius collapsed, users discovered their âheldâ bitcoin was loaned out in risky strategies.
- Account Freezes:Â Regulatory actions can lock withdrawals overnight. In 2023, Binance suspended dollar withdrawals for U.S. users citing âpartner bank issues,â trapping funds for weeks.
- Data Vulnerability:Â KYC requirements create honeypots for hackers. The 2024 Ledger breach exposed 270,000 usersâ personal data despite hardware security.
True Self-Custody
Self-custody means exclusively controlling your private keysâthe cryptographic strings that prove bitcoin ownership. Unlike banks or exchanges, self-custody eliminates:- Counterparty risk (no FTX-style implosions)
- Censorship (no blocked transactions)
- Inflationary theft (no fractional reserve lending)
Conquering the Three Great Fears of Self-Custody
Fear 1: âIâll Lose Everything If I Make a Mistakeâ
Reality:Â Human error is manageable with robust systems:
- Test Transactions:Â Always send a micro-amount (0.00001 BTC) before large transfers. Verify receipt AND ability to send back.
- Multi-Backup Protocol:Â Store seed phrases on fireproof/waterproof steel plates (not paper!). Distribute copies geographicallyâone in a home safe, another with trusted family 100+ miles away.
- SLIP39 Sharding:Â Split your seed into fragments requiring 3-of-5 shards to reconstruct. No single point of failure.
Fear 2: âHackers Will Steal My Keysâ
Reality:Â Offline storage defeats remote attacks:
- Hardware Wallets:Â Devices like Bitkey or Ledger keep keys in âcold storageââisolated from internet-connected devices. Transactions require physical confirmation.
- Multisig Vaults:Â Bitvaultâs multi-sig system requires attackers compromise multiple locations/devices simultaneously. Even losing two keys wonât forfeit funds.
- Air-Gapped Verification:Â Use dedicated offline devices for wallet setup. Never type seeds on internet-connected machines.
Fear 3: âMy Family Canât Access It If I Dieâ
Reality:Â Inheritance is solvable:
- Dead Man Switches:Â Bitwardenâs emergency access allows trusted contacts to retrieve encrypted keys after a pre-set waiting period (e.g., 30 days).
- Inheritance Protocols:Â Bitkeyâs inheritance solution shares decryption keys via designated beneficiariesâ emails. Requires multiple approvals to prevent abuse.
- Public Key Registries:Â Share wallet XPUBs (not private keys!) with heirs. They can monitor balances but not spend, ensuring transparency without risk.
The Freedom Dividend
- Censorship Resistance:Â Send $10M BTC to a Wikileaks wallet without Visa/Mastercard blocking it.
- Privacy Preservation:Â Avoid KYC surveillanceânon-custodial wallets like Flash require zero ID verification.
- Protocol Access:Â Participate in bitcoin-native innovations (Lightning Network, DLCs) only possible with self-custodied keys.
- Black Swan Immunity:Â When Cyprus-style bank bailins happen, your bitcoin remains untouched in your vault.
The Sovereignâs Checklist
- Withdraw from Exchanges:Â Move all BTC > $1,000 to self-custody immediately.
- Buy Hardware Wallet:Â Purchase DIRECTLY from manufacturer (no Amazon!) to avoid supply-chain tampering.
- Generate Seed OFFLINE:Â Use air-gapped device, write phrase on steelânever digitally.
- Test Recovery:Â Delete wallet, restore from seed before funding.
- Implement Multisig:Â For > $75k, use Bitvault for 2-of-3 multi-sig setup.
- Create Inheritance Plan:Â Share XPUBs/SLIP39 shards with heirs + legal documents.
âSelf-custody isnât about avoiding riskâitâs about transferring risk from opaque institutions to transparent, controllable systems you design.â
The Inevitable Evolution: Custody Without Compromise
Emerging solutions are erasing old tradeoffs:
- MPC Wallets:Â Services like Xapo Bank shatter keys into encrypted fragments distributed globally. No single device holds full keys, defeating physical theft.
- Social Recovery:Â Ethically designed networks (e.g., Bitkey) let trusted contacts restore access without custodial control.
- Biometric Assurance:Â Fingerprint reset protocols prevent lockouts from physical injuries.
Lost keys = lost bitcoin. But consider the alternative: entrusting your life savings to entities with proven 8% annual failure rates among exchanges. Self-custody shifts responsibility from hoping institutions wonât fail to knowing your system canât fail without your consent.
Take action today:Â Move one coin. Test one recovery. Share one xpub. The path to unchained wealth begins with a single satoshi under your control.

âMicroStrategy of Asiaâ Metaplanet Aims To Acquire Over 210,000 BTC By the End of 2027Metaplanet Inc. widely recognized as Japanâs leading Bitcoin treasury company, has announced a major update to its Bitcoin accumulation strategy, unveiling the â555 Million Planâ aimed at acquiring over 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027, which is equivalent to 1% of Bitcoinâs total supply.
*Metaplanet Announces Accelerated 2025-2027 Bitcoin Plan: Targeting 210,000 $BTC by 2027*
Full Presentation: https://t.co/JG28maMdfd pic.twitter.com/i9kzmjlDT8
â Metaplanet Inc. (@Metaplanet_JP) June 6, 2025
This new target marks a dramatic increase from the companyâs earlier â21 Million Plan,â which aimed for just 21,000 BTC by 2026. Progress far outpaced expectations, with 8,888 BTC already secured as of June 2, prompting the strategic shift.
To fund this growth, Metaplanet has launched Asiaâs largest Bitcoin-focused equity raise, aiming to secure „770.9 billion (approximately $5.4 billion) through the issuance of 555 million shares via moving strike warrants. This is the first structure of its kind in Japan, priced at a premium to market, made possible by the companyâs high share liquidity and volatility.
At the Annual General Meeting on March 24, shareholders approved an increase in authorized shares from 161 million to 1.61 billion, following a 10-for-1 stock split effective April 1, 2025; Metaplanet has approximately 296 million authorized shares remaining. The 555 million shares being issued under the new plan will bring the companyâs fully diluted shares outstanding to around 759 million.
Metaplanetâs Bitcoin yield targets and performance for 2025 have shown strong momentum, with quarterly BTC yields of 41.7% in Q3 2024, 309.8% in Q4 2024, 95.6% in Q1 2025, 66.3% in Q2 2025, and projected 35% yields for both Q3 and Q4 2025. The year-to-date BTC yield for 2025 stands at 225.4%, closing to the full year target of 232%.Â
Metaplanet also announced the issuance of the 20th to 22nd Series of Stock Acquisition Rights via a third-party allotment to EVO FUND, potentially adding 555 million new shares. The initial exercise price is set at JPY 1,388 and will adjust regularly based on stock prices, with some series including a premium to protect shareholders. The exercise period runs from June 24, 2025, to June 23, 2027, with expected proceeds of approximately JPY 767.4 billion. This financing supports the â555 Million Planâ and further Bitcoin accumulation.
Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich wrote in a post on X, âthanks to all of our shareholders,â he said. âWe are honored to be on this journey with you. Metaplanet is accelerating into the future â powered by Bitcoin.â
Metaplanet has launched Asiaâs largest-ever equity raise dedicated to Bitcoin:

2025-06-09 13:07:23Zum organisierten Corona-Komplex zÀhlt auch der vermittelte Eindruck, dass es in den Jahren der sogenannten Pandemie praktisch nur noch eine Todesursache gab: Covid-19. Verkehrstote? Krebstote? Gewöhnliche Alterstote? Kann nicht sein.
https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/studie-viele-falsche-corona-tote-von-multipolar?
UN-GeneralsekretĂ€r Guterres sah die Welt âim Krieg mit dem Virusâ, de facto war es ein Krieg mit der Wahrheit, den Regierungen und Mainstream-Medien ausfochten. Der berechtigte Einwand, es mache einen Unterschied, ob jemand mit Corona oder wegen Corona gestorben ist, wurde als Ketzerei abgekanzelt. Erst mit dem Krieg in der Ukraine geriet das âJeder Tote ist ein Corona-Toterâ-Narrativ an seine Propaganda-Grenzen und Corona verschwand so schnell aus dem medialen TagesgeschĂ€ft wie es gekommen war.

Mapping Bitcoinâs Bull Cycle PotentialBitcoinâs Market Value to Realized Value, or MVRV ratio, remains one of the most reliable on-chain indicators for identifying local and macro tops and bottoms across every BTC cycle. By isolating data across different investor cohorts and adapting historical benchmarks to modern market conditions, we can generate more accurate insights into where Bitcoin may be headed next.
The Bitcoin MVRV Ratio
The MVRV Ratio compares Bitcoinâs market price to its realized price, essentially the average cost basis for all coins in the network. As of writing, BTC trades around $105,000 while the realized price floats near $47,000, putting the raw MVRV at 2.26. The Z-Score version of MVRV standardizes this ratio based on historical volatility, enabling clearer comparisons across different market cycles.
Figure 1: Historically, the MVRV Ratio and the MVRV Z-Score have accurately identified cycle peaks and bottoms. View Live Chart
Short-Term Holders
Short-term holders, defined as those holding Bitcoin for 155 days or less, currently have a realized price near $97,000. This metric often acts as dynamic support in bull markets and resistance in bear markets. Notably, when the Short Term Holder MVRV hits 1.33, local tops have historically occurred, as seen several times in both the 2017 and 2021 cycles. So far in the current cycle, this threshold has already been touched four times, each followed by modest retracements.
Figure 2: Short Term Holder MVRV reaching 1.33 in more recent cycles has aligned with local tops. View Live Chart
Long-Term Holders
Long-term holders, whoâve held BTC for more than 155 days, currently have an average cost basis of just $33,500, putting their MVRV at 3.11. Historically, Long Term Holder MVRV values have reached as high as 12 during major peaks. That said, weâre observing a trend of diminishing multiples each cycle.
Figure 3: Achieving a Long Term Holder MVRV value of 8 could extrapolate to a BTC price in excess of $300,000. View Live Chart
A key resistance band now sits between 7.5 and 8.5, a zone that has defined bull tops and pre-bear retracements in every cycle since 2011. If the current growth of the realized price ($40/day) continues for another 140â150 days, matching previous cycle lengths, we could see it reach somewhere in the region of $40,000. A peak MVRV of 8 would imply a price near $320,000.
A Smarter Market Compass
Unlike static all-time metrics, the 2-Year Rolling MVRV Z-Score adapts to evolving market dynamics. By recalculating average extremes over a rolling window, it smooths out Bitcoinâs natural volatility decay as it matures. Historically, this version has signaled overbought conditions when reaching levels above 3, and prime accumulation zones when dipping below -1. Currently sitting under 1, this metric suggests that substantial upside remains.
Figure 4: The current 2-Year Rolling MVRV Z-Score suggests more positive price action ahead. View Live Chart
Timing & Targets
A view of the BTC Growth Since Cycle Lows chart illustrates that BTC is now approximately 925 days removed from its last major cycle low. Historical comparisons to previous bull markets suggest we may be around 140 to 150 days away from a potential top, with both the 2017 and 2021 peaks occurring around 1,060 to 1,070 days after their respective lows. While not deterministic, this alignment reinforces the broader picture of where we are in the cycle. If realized price trends and MVRV thresholds continue on current trajectories, late Q3 to early Q4 2025 may bring final euphoric moves.
Figure 5: Will the current cycle continue to exhibit growth patterns similar to those of the previous two cycles? View Live Chart
Conclusion
The MVRV ratio and its derivatives remain essential tools for analyzing Bitcoin market behavior, providing clear markers for both accumulation and distribution. Whether observing short-term holders hovering near local top thresholds, long-term holders nearing historically significant resistance zones, or adaptive metrics like the 2-Year Rolling MVRV Z-Score signaling plenty of runway left, these data points should be used in confluence.
No single metric should be relied upon to predict tops or bottoms in isolation, but taken together, they offer a powerful lens through which to interpret the macro trend. As the market matures and volatility declines, adaptive metrics will become even more crucial in staying ahead of the curve.

This venue represents an era when the state tightly controlled the economy and financial systems. The juxtaposition of this historical site with an event dedicated to bitcoin is striking and thought-provoking.
The event features a diverse array of activities, including engaging panel discussions, screenings of both feature-length and short films, workshops and lively parties. Each component designed to explore the multifaceted world of bitcoin and its implications for society, offering attendees a blend of entertainment and education.
The films showcase innovative narratives and insights into bitcoinâs landscape, while the panels facilitate thought-provoking discussions among industry experts and filmmakers.
Networking is a significant aspect of the festival, with an exceptionally open and friendly atmosphere that foster connections among participants. Participants from all over Europe gather to engage with like-minded individuals who share a passion for BTC and its implications for the future.
The open exchanges of ideas foster a sense of community, allowing attendees to forge new connections, collaborate on projects, and discuss the potential of blockchain technology implemented in bitcoin.

Gemini Files Draft With The SEC For Proposed IPOToday, Gemini Space Station, Inc. announced that it has confidentially filed a draft registration statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission for a proposed initial public offering (IPO) of its Class A common stock. Details such as the number of shares and the price range have not been disclosed. The IPO will proceed after the SECâs review and is subject to market conditions.
JUST IN: @Gemini has confidentially filed for an IPO with the @SECGov.
Details on share count and pricing TBD.
Launch date will depend on SEC review and market conditions.
â Eleanor Terrett (@EleanorTerrett) June 6, 2025
âAny offers, solicitations or offers to buy, or any sales of securities will be made in accordance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,â stated the press release. âThis announcement is being issued in accordance with Rule 135 under the Securities Act.â
Geminiâs move comes during a period of growing activity in both the public markets and the digital asset space. Just yesterday, Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. (Nasdaq, NYSE Texas: DJT) also filed a Form S-1 with the SEC for its upcoming Truth Social Bitcoin ETF.
âTruth Social Bitcoin ETF, B.T. is a Nevada business trust that issues beneficial interests in its net assets,â stated the Form S-1. âThe assets of the Trust consist primarily of bitcoin held by a custodian on behalf of the Trust. The Trust seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of bitcoin.â
Momentum around Bitcoin and broader crypto policy was also evident last week at the 2025 Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas. There, Gemini founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss joined White House A.I. & Crypto Czar David Sacks to discuss how the government should manage Bitcoin, as well as recent developments in federal policy.
âOrange is the new gold,â said Cameron. âSo, Bitcoin is Gold 2.0, and thatâs been true since day one. So, at $100,000 Bitcoin, thatâs exciting, but if you take 21 million and do the above ground market price of gold. Really, it should be a million dollars a coinâeasily,â
They talked about some of the recent policy changes that have been good for crypto include rolling back the IRS digital asset broker rule and SAB 121, which had stopped banks from holding Bitcoin. The Department of Justice also stopped its regulation by prosecution approach, which takes a lot of pressure off digital asset firms.
âItâs hard to imagine a President. Any other President being able to do any fraction of this or accomplish that or any administration and we have just over 100 days,â said Tyler. âSo, Itâs pretty amazing that we still have a lot of time left.â Later on, he ended the panel saying, âTo the Moon!â

TakeOver Successfully Hosts Second Annual BitGala Celebrating Bitcoin in Las VegasLAS VEGAS, NV, May 26, 2025 â TakeOver, Magic Eden, Spark, and Stacks successfully hosted their second annual BitGala on May 26th at the Wynn in Las Vegas. The celebration brought together over 200 Bitcoin industry leaders and community members for an evening dedicated to celebrating Bitcoin.Â
The BitGala was designed as a curated gathering focused on inspiring continued development, education, and adoption while reflecting on the strides Bitcoin has made toward a future of open, decentralized money. The event successfully brought together key leaders, creating meaningful opportunities for collaboration and strategic partnerships within the Bitcoin space.Â
âBitGala celebrates our partnership with Spark, marketing a major leap forward for Bitcoin DeFi,â said Elizabeth Olson, Head of Marketing for Bitcoin at Magic Eden. âAs the #1 Bitcoin app, Magic Eden has spent the past few years pushing Bitcoin L1 to its limits, always with the goal of making Bitcoin more usable, fast, and fun without compromising its core ethos. We believe Spark has the potential to unlock a new era of building on Bitcoin, and weâre thrilled to be leading that charge together.âÂ
âThe BitGala was a stunning celebration of Bitcoin culture where luxury meets the cypherpunk spirit. Weâre proving that Bitcoin isnât just a protocol, itâs a movement connecting freedom-minded people from art, fashion, finance, and more. To us, it was a pure signal that people are starting to see what Stacks has been building all along: a future where Bitcoin isnât just held, but used for apps, defi, and real ownership.â â Rena Shah, COO of Stacks.Â
Set against the backdrop of the Sphere, the evening brought together innovators, investors, and community leaders for a night dedicated to celebrating Bitcoinâs growth and the people driving its future.Â
The program opened with a welcome reception, followed by gourmet hors dâoeuvres and vibrant conversations. A keynote and honors segment recognized those making meaningful strides in Bitcoin adoption and development. Guests were then invited to explore a premium tequila tasting experience curated by Reach, and indulge in interactive gourmet chef stations.Â
âOur team has been fortunate to be part of the Bitcoin community since 2016, so weâre thrilled to see all the progress on display almost 10 years later at Bitcoin 2025.

This unforgettable gatheringâhosted in partnership with leading organizations including Magic Eden, Spark, and Stacksâwas more than a celebration. It was a call to continue pushing forward innovation, education, and adoption in
the Bitcoin ecosystem. BitGala was made possible through the generous support of key sponsors and partners who share Takeoverâs commitment to fostering connections in the web3 space.Â
âWeâre focused on making Bitcoin more useful for everyone, and events like this remind us that weâre not alone in that mission. It was inspiring to connect with others who share the vision of a more open, decentralized financial future powered by Bitcoin.â â Spark TeamÂ
Presenting Sponsors:Â
- Magic Eden â The largest NFT marketplace and Runes platform.Â
- Spark â The fastest, cheapest, most UX-friendly way to build financial apps and launch assets on Bitcoin.

The collaborative support from these organizations was instrumental in delivering a memorable event for all attendees.Â
Actor and comedian T.J. Miller was also a speaker at the event: âThe bitcoin conference 2025 was incredible for so many reasons. It was such a joyful journey to be with so many like-minded people (all of whom have been laughed at) who share the same values: freedom, community, hope, and getting rich- the highpoint was the BitGala. I bought incredibly large expensive shoes for the specific purpose of showing up to the gala non-verbally saying bitcoin destroying Fiat, well thatâs big shoes to fill⊠and weâll fill âem. I canât wait to return next year. I will wear more orange.âÂ

2025-06-09 13:03:51Zum organisierten Corona-Komplex zĂ€hlt auch der vermittelte Eindruck, dass es in den Jahren der sogenannten Pandemie praktisch nur noch eine Todesursache gab: Covid-19. Verkehrstote? Krebstote? Gewöhnliche Alterstote? Kann nicht sein. UN-GeneralsekretĂ€r Guterres sah die Welt âim Krieg mit dem Virusâ, de facto war es ein Krieg mit der Wahrheit, den Regierungen und Mainstream-Medien ausfochten.
https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/studie-viele-falsche-corona-tote-von-multipolar
Der berechtigte Einwand, es mache einen Unterschied, ob jemand mit Corona oder wegen Corona gestorben ist, wurde als Ketzerei abgekanzelt. Erst mit dem Krieg in der Ukraine geriet das âJeder Tote ist ein Corona-Toterâ-Narrativ an seine Propaganda-Grenzen und Corona verschwand so schnell aus dem medialen TagesgeschĂ€ft wie es gekommen war. Das Geld, das man fĂŒr Masken, sogenannte Impfstoffe und damit verbundener Korruption verschwendet hatte, musste man nun unbedingt fĂŒr Waffen verschwenden. Umso wichtiger ist es, diese Zeit der LĂŒgen und Grundrechtsverletzungen nicht einfach unter den Teppich zu kehren und darĂŒber zu schweigen. AufklĂ€rung leistet hier nach wie vor das Magazin Multipolar. Es berichtet von einer aktuellen Studie griechischer Forscher ĂŒber âoffizielle Corona-TodesfĂ€lle wĂ€hrend Omikronâ.

Mapping Bitcoinâs Bull Cycle PotentialBitcoinâs Market Value to Realized Value, or MVRV ratio, remains one of the most reliable on-chain indicators for identifying local and macro tops and bottoms across every BTC cycle. By isolating data across different investor cohorts and adapting historical benchmarks to modern market conditions, we can generate more accurate insights into where Bitcoin may be headed next.
The Bitcoin MVRV Ratio
The MVRV Ratio compares Bitcoinâs market price to its realized price, essentially the average cost basis for all coins in the network. As of writing, BTC trades around $105,000 while the realized price floats near $47,000, putting the raw MVRV at 2.26. The Z-Score version of MVRV standardizes this ratio based on historical volatility, enabling clearer comparisons across different market cycles.

Short-Term Holders
Short-term holders, defined as those holding Bitcoin for 155 days or less, currently have a realized price near $97,000. This metric often acts as dynamic support in bull markets and resistance in bear markets. Notably, when the Short Term Holder MVRV hits 1.33, local tops have historically occurred, as seen several times in both the 2017 and 2021 cycles. So far in the current cycle, this threshold has already been touched four times, each followed by modest retracements.

Long-Term Holders
Long-term holders, whoâve held BTC for more than 155 days, currently have an average cost basis of just $33,500, putting their MVRV at 3.11. Historically, Long Term Holder MVRV values have reached as high as 12 during major peaks. That said, weâre observing a trend of diminishing multiples each cycle.
Figure 3: Achieving a Long Term Holder MVRV value of 8 could extrapolate to a BTC price in excess of $300,000. View Live Chart
A key resistance band now sits between 7.5 and 8.5, a zone that has defined bull tops and pre-bear retracements in every cycle since 2011. If the current growth of the realized price ($40/day) continues for another 140â150 days, matching previous cycle lengths, we could see it reach somewhere in the region of $40,000. A peak MVRV of 8 would imply a price near $320,000.
A Smarter Market Compass
Unlike static all-time metrics, the 2-Year Rolling MVRV Z-Score adapts to evolving market dynamics. By recalculating average extremes over a rolling window, it smooths out Bitcoinâs natural volatility decay as it matures. Historically, this version has signaled overbought conditions when reaching levels above 3, and prime accumulation zones when dipping below -1. Currently sitting under 1, this metric suggests that substantial upside remains.

Timing & Targets
A view of the BTC Growth Since Cycle Lows chart illustrates that BTC is now approximately 925 days removed from its last major cycle low. Historical comparisons to previous bull markets suggest we may be around 140 to 150 days away from a potential top, with both the 2017 and 2021 peaks occurring around 1,060 to 1,070 days after their respective lows. While not deterministic, this alignment reinforces the broader picture of where we are in the cycle. If realized price trends and MVRV thresholds continue on current trajectories, late Q3 to early Q4 2025 may bring final euphoric moves.
Figure 5: Will the current cycle continue to exhibit growth patterns similar to those of the previous two cycles? View Live Chart
Conclusion
The MVRV ratio and its derivatives remain essential tools for analyzing Bitcoin market behavior, providing clear markers for both accumulation and distribution. Whether observing short-term holders hovering near local top thresholds, long-term holders nearing historically significant resistance zones, or adaptive metrics like the 2-Year Rolling MVRV Z-Score signaling plenty of runway left, these data points should be used in confluence.
No single metric should be relied upon to predict tops or bottoms in isolation, but taken together, they offer a powerful lens through which to interpret the macro trend. As the market matures and volatility declines, adaptive metrics will become even more crucial in staying ahead of the curve.

2025-06-09 15:00:40Bitcoin Magazine
Bitcoin 2025 Las Vegas: Hereâs What Went DownÂMy name is Jenna Montgomery, and maybe youâve read some of my news articles here before, or seen me on the Bitcoin Magazine TikTok. But today, I wanted to switch it up and give you an inside look at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference in Las Vegas through my eyes as an intern, hired just one month before the conference, having little knowledge about Bitcoin beforehand and never attending an event like this before.Â
Iâm writing this to give you a real, raw reflection of what I experienced over the course of the three day event, and why I believe you should absolutely attend the next Bitcoin conference. I want you all to know what goes down, what to expect, and to know how impactful I think this event really is. Bitcoin 2025 made a lasting impact on me and my life, and it just feels right to tell you why, so yours can maybe be changed too.
I got off the plane, threw my suitcase in my hotel room, and went to go and see the convention center as all of the finishing touches around the venue were being added. I remember thinking how big, beautiful, and fun the expo hall wasâand where I would soon meet so many new people, make so many friends, and shake hands with people that I looked up to and admired.Â
I will never forget walking in and seeing the main conference stage, The Nakamoto Stage, for the first time. Seeing that giant room with a symphony and endless rows of chairs, soon to be filled with thousands of passionate Bitcoiners, really put in perspective to me how Bitcoin 2025 wasnât just a conference, it felt like something bigger. I realized itâs an actual community and a place of countless opportunities.Â
The conference is essentially split up into 3 days: Industry Day, General Admission Day 1, and General Admission Day 2. Industry Day was mainly tailored towards professionals, investors, founders, and others focused on Bitcoin businesses. The general admission days were tailored more towards the casual Bitcoiner, and those were the days that I really felt the energy just exploding around the convention center.
Walking into the expo hall early in the morning on Industry Day, I was overwhelmed when I saw all of the vendors and companies setting up their tables, booths, stages, and even a rock climbing wall (thank you CleanSpark). It seemed as if the expo hall went for miles and miles, and featured a long orange carpet that made an intricate path through the venue that led you to each and every booth.

I remember being in total awe as I looked up at the ceiling and saw a huge UFO in the middle of the expo hall, with two Bitcoin themed Cybertrucks just off to the side of it, with lots of other interesting booths including one with a talking robot.

â Gemini (@Gemini) May 27, 2025
As I followed the long orange carpet around the venue, I looked over my shoulder and saw a huge blow-up of a Bitcoin Puppet in the art exhibit, featuring all kinds of other cool Bitcoin art. Some of these pieces of art were worth well over one bitcoinâwhich was mindblowing to me considering that is more than $100,000. Every good revolution has good art, and seeing all the talented artists pouring their hearts into their work helped me believe that Bitcoin is the future.Â
Now, it was time to get to work at where I would spend the majority of my time over the next few days. My coworkers and I were stationed up right in front of the Bitcoin Magazine news desk next to the AV (audio-visual) team, where I had a perfect view of everything. Here, I spent all day every day writing news articles for Bitcoin Magazine based on the speeches, keynotes, and other panels happening on the Nakamoto stage, as well as filming TikTokâs around the expo hall with attendees.
Working in front of the news desk was one of my favorite things about the conference. Everyone who spoke on it live had an electrifying personality that kept me locked into every conversation, especially one of the hosts Pete Rizzo. After every talk on the Nakamoto Stage ended, the live stream would pan over to the news desk where they would break down what happened, providing viewers with expert analysis. This was something extremely very fun to watch live and experience the production of it all first hand.
The talks on Industry Day kicked off to such a great start with Dan Edwards from Steak ân Shake, who recently became the first major fast food chain in America to begin accepting Bitcoin Lightning payments. So I was very excited to hear about Edwardsâ speech and to visit Steak ân Shakeâs incredible booth, which also featured a group of fun, dancing cows.Â

â The Bitcoin Conference (@TheBitcoinConf) May 28, 2025
While speaking on stage, Edwards revealed that, âBitcoin is faster than credit cards, and when customers choose to pay in Bitcoin, weâre saving 50% in processing fees.â Just think about that for a second â saving a whole 50% on each transaction? This really opened my eyes to the benefits of accepting Bitcoin as payment and why it could mean to merchants who adopt it.
Based on everything I heard in that speech, I think Steak ân Shake may be the first to start a new trend of other big companies accepting Bitcoin. If they recognized the benefits of Bitcoin, itâs only a matter of time before other franchises do as well.

Another big highlight from this day was hearing Senator Cynthia Lummis confirm that President Donald Trump supports her Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act. There were so many statements made during the conference that I will get to later on that point to the fact that the United States is pro-Bitcoin and weâre going to be the world leader in it. Senator Marsha Blackburn also added to this, stating, âMany of our allies follow what we do. If we lead, others will follow. This is vital to our economic future.âÂ

2025-06-08 13:02:23CANNES, FRANCE â May 2025 â Bitcoin mining made its mark at the worldâs most prestigious film gathering this year as Puerto Rican director and producer Alana Mediavilla introduced her feature documentary Dirty Coin: The Bitcoin Mining Documentary at the MarchĂ© du Film during the Cannes Film Festival.
The film puts bitcoin mining at the center of a rising global conversation about energy, technology, and economic freedom.
Dirty Coin is the first feature-length documentary to explore bitcoin mining through immersive, on-the-ground case studies.
From rural towns in the United States to hydro-powered sites in Latin America and the Congo, the film follows miners and communities navigating what may be one of the most misunderstood technologies of our time.
The result is a human-centered look at how bitcoin mining is transforming local economies and energy infrastructure in real ways.
To mark its Cannes debut, Mediavilla and her team hosted a packed industry event that brought together leaders from both film and finance.
Dirty Coin debut ceremony at the Marché du Film
Sponsors Celestial Management, Sangha Renewables, Nordblock, and Paystand.org supported the program, which featured panels on mining, energy use, and decentralized infrastructure.
Attendees had the rare opportunity to engage directly with pioneers in the space. A special session in French led by Seb Gouspillou spotlighted mining efforts in the Congoâs Virunga region.
Dirty Coin builds on Mediavillaâs award-winning short film Stranded, which won over 20 international prizes, including Best Short Documentary at Cannes in 2024.
That success helped lay the foundation for the feature and positioned Mediavilla as one of the boldest new voices in global documentary filmmaking.
Alana Mediavilla speaks at the MarchĂ© du Film â Cannes Film Festival
âIf weâve found an industry that can unlock stranded energy and turn it into real power for peopleâespecially in regions with energy povertyâwhy wouldnât we look into it?â says Mediavilla. âOur privilege blinds us.
âThe same thing we criticize could be the very thing that lifts the developing world to our standard of living. Ignoring that potential is a failure of imagination.â
Much like the decentralized network it explores, Dirty Coin is spreading globally through grassroots momentum.
Local leaders are hosting independent screenings around the world, from RoatĂĄn and Berlin to SĂŁo Paulo and Madrid. Upcoming events include Toronto and Zurich, with more cities joining each month.
Mediavilla, who previously worked in creative leadership roles in the U.S. â including as a producer at Google â returned to Puerto Rico to found Campo Libre, a studio focused on high-caliber, globally relevant storytelling from the Caribbean.
She was also accepted into the Cannes Producers Network, a selective program open only to producers with box office releases in the past four years.
Mediavilla qualified after independently releasing Dirty Coin in theaters across Puerto Rico. Her participation in the network gave her direct access to meetings, insights, and connections with the most active distributors and producers working today.
The filmâs next public screening will take place at the Anthem Film Festival in Palm Springs on Saturday, June 14 at 2 PM. Additional screenings and market appearances are planned throughout the year at Bitcoin events and international film platforms.

2025-06-09 08:45:57Nostr, which stands for "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays," is a decentralized communication protocol designed to facilitate the exchange of messages without relying on centralized servers. This innovative framework allows users to create, broadcast, and receive messages freely, emphasizing user empowerment and censorship resistance.
Key Features of Nostr
-
Decentralization: Unlike traditional social media platforms, Nostr operates on a network of relays, which are servers that anyone can run. This structure eliminates the control that a single entity can exert over the platform, thereby reducing the risk of censorship and enhancing user privacy[1][4][5].
-
Open Protocol: Nostr is not an application itself but a protocol that developers can use to build various applications. This openness allows for a wide range of services, from social media to messaging, all built on the same underlying technology. Users can access multiple applications using a single public/private key pair, making it easier to manage their online identities[2][3][4].
-
Censorship Resistance: One of the primary motivations behind Nostr's creation is to provide a platform where users can communicate without fear of censorship. This is particularly appealing to those disillusioned with traditional social media platforms that often impose restrictions on content[5][10].
-
User Control: Nostr empowers users by allowing them to control their data and interactions. Users can choose which relays to connect to and can run their own relays, ensuring that they are not dependent on any single service provider[4][5][7].
-
Cryptographic Security: The protocol employs public-key cryptography to secure messages and verify identities, similar to how Bitcoin operates. This ensures that messages are authentic and have not been tampered with during transmission[5][10].
Applications and Community
Nostr has gained traction among various communities, particularly within the cryptocurrency space, where figures like Jack Dorsey and Edward Snowden have expressed support for its potential to reshape online communication. The protocol's design allows for a variety of applications, including social media platforms, chat services, and content sharing tools, all of which can interoperate seamlessly[2][3][5].
In summary, Nostr represents a significant shift in how digital communication can be structured, prioritizing decentralization, user autonomy, and resistance to censorship, making it a compelling alternative to conventional social media platforms.

2025-06-08 03:01:34- This version introduces the Soroban P2P network, enabling Dojo to relay transactions to the Bitcoin network and share others' transactions to break the heuristic linking relaying nodes to transaction creators.
- Additionally, Dojo admins can now manage API keys in DMT with labels, status, and expiration, ideal for community Dojo providers like Dojobay. New API endpoints, including "/services" exposing Explorer, Soroban, and Indexer, have been added to aid wallet developers.
- Other maintenance updates include Bitcoin Core, Tor, Fulcrum, Node.js, plus an updated ban-knots script to disconnect inbound Knots nodes.
"I want to thank all the contributors. This again shows the power of true Free Software. I also want to thank everyone who donated to help Dojo development going. I truly appreciate it," said Still Dojo Coder.
What's new
- Soroban P2P network. For MyDojo (Docker setup) users, Soroban will be automatically installed as part of their Dojo. This integration allows Dojo to utilize the Soroban P2P network for various upcoming features and applications.
- PandoTx. PandoTx serves as a transaction transport layer. When your wallet sends a transaction to Dojo, it is relayed to a random Soroban node, which then forwards it to the Bitcoin network. It also enables your Soroban node to receive and relay transactions from others to the Bitcoin network and is designed to disrupt the assumption that a node relaying a transaction is closely linked to the person who initiated it.
- Pushing transactions through Soroban can be deactivated by setting
NODE_PANDOTX_PUSH=off
indocker-node.conf
. - Processing incoming transactions from Soroban network can be deactivated by setting
NODE_PANDOTX_PROCESS=off
indocker-node.conf
.
- Pushing transactions through Soroban can be deactivated by setting
- API key management has been introduced to address the growing number of people offering their Dojos to the community. Dojo admins can now access a new API management tab in their DMT, where they can create unlimited API keys, assign labels for easy identification, and set expiration dates for each key. This allows admins to avoid sharing their main API key and instead distribute specific keys to selected parties.
- New API endpoints. Several new API endpoints have been added to help API consumers develop features on Dojo more efficiently:
- New:
/latest-block
- returns data about latest block/txout/:txid/:index
- returns unspent output data/support/services
- returns info about services that Dojo exposes
- Updated:
/tx/:txid
- endpoint has been updated to return raw transaction with parameter?rawHex=1
- The new
/support/services
endpoint replaces the deprecatedexplorer
field in the Dojo pairing payload. Although still present, API consumers should use this endpoint for explorer and other pairing data.
- New:
Other changes
- Updated ban script to disconnect inbound Knots nodes.
- Updated Fulcrum to v1.12.0.
- Regenerate Fulcrum certificate if expired.
- Check if transaction already exists in pushTx.
- Bump BTC-RPC Explorer.
- Bump Tor to v0.4.8.16, bump Snowflake.
- Updated Bitcoin Core to v29.0.
- Removed unnecessary middleware.
- Fixed DB update mechanism, added api_keys table.
- Add an option to use blocksdir config for bitcoin blocks directory.
- Removed deprecated configuration.
- Updated Node.js dependencies.
- Reconfigured container dependencies.
- Fix Snowflake git URL.
- Fix log path for testnet4.
- Use prebuilt addrindexrs binaries.
- Add instructions to migrate blockchain/fulcrum.
- Added pull policies.

2025-06-09 06:02:16Will not live in a pod.
Will not eat the bugs.
Will not get the chip.
Will not get a blue check.
Will not use CBDCs.Live Free or Die.
Why did Elon buy twitter for $44 Billion? What value does he see in it besides the greater influence that undoubtedly comes with controlling one of the largest social platforms in the world? We do not need to speculate - he made his intentions incredibly clear in his first meeting with twitter employees after his takeover - WeChat of the West.
To those that do not appreciate freedom, the value prop is clear - WeChat is incredibly powerful and successful in China.
To those that do appreciate freedom, the concern is clear - WeChat has essentially become required to live in China, has surveillance and censorship integrated at its core, and if you are banned from the app your entire livelihood is at risk. Employment, housing, payments, travel, communication, and more become extremely difficult if WeChat censors determine you have acted out of line.
The blue check is the first step in Elon's plan to bring the chinese social credit score system to the west. Users who verify their identity are rewarded with more reach and better tools than those that do not. Verified users are the main product of Elon's twitter - an extensive database of individuals and complete control of the tools he will slowly get them to rely on - it is easier to monetize cattle than free men.
If you cannot resist the temptation of the blue check in its current form you have already lost - what comes next will be much darker. If you realize the need to resist - freedom tech provides us options.

Mapping Bitcoinâs Bull Cycle PotentialBitcoinâs Market Value to Realized Value, or MVRV ratio, remains one of the most reliable on-chain indicators for identifying local and macro tops and bottoms across every BTC cycle. By isolating data across different investor cohorts and adapting historical benchmarks to modern market conditions, we can generate more accurate insights into where Bitcoin may be headed next.
The Bitcoin MVRV Ratio
The MVRV Ratio compares Bitcoinâs market price to its realized price, essentially the average cost basis for all coins in the network. As of writing, BTC trades around $105,000 while the realized price floats near $47,000, putting the raw MVRV at 2.26. The Z-Score version of MVRV standardizes this ratio based on historical volatility, enabling clearer comparisons across different market cycles.
Figure 1: Historically, the MVRV Ratio and the MVRV Z-Score have accurately identified cycle peaks and bottoms. View Live Chart
Short-Term Holders
Short-term holders, defined as those holding Bitcoin for 155 days or less, currently have a realized price near $97,000. This metric often acts as dynamic support in bull markets and resistance in bear markets. Notably, when the Short Term Holder MVRV hits 1.33, local tops have historically occurred, as seen several times in both the 2017 and 2021 cycles. So far in the current cycle, this threshold has already been touched four times, each followed by modest retracements.
Figure 2: Short Term Holder MVRV reaching 1.33 in more recent cycles has aligned with local tops. View Live Chart
Long-Term Holders
Long-term holders, whoâve held BTC for more than 155 days, currently have an average cost basis of just $33,500, putting their MVRV at 3.11. Historically, Long Term Holder MVRV values have reached as high as 12 during major peaks. That said, weâre observing a trend of diminishing multiples each cycle.
Figure 3: Achieving a Long Term Holder MVRV value of 8 could extrapolate to a BTC price in excess of $300,000. View Live Chart
A key resistance band now sits between 7.5 and 8.5, a zone that has defined bull tops and pre-bear retracements in every cycle since 2011. If the current growth of the realized price ($40/day) continues for another 140â150 days, matching previous cycle lengths, we could see it reach somewhere in the region of $40,000. A peak MVRV of 8 would imply a price near $320,000.
A Smarter Market Compass
Unlike static all-time metrics, the 2-Year Rolling MVRV Z-Score adapts to evolving market dynamics. By recalculating average extremes over a rolling window, it smooths out Bitcoinâs natural volatility decay as it matures. Historically, this version has signaled overbought conditions when reaching levels above 3, and prime accumulation zones when dipping below -1. Currently sitting under 1, this metric suggests that substantial upside remains.
Figure 4: The current 2-Year Rolling MVRV Z-Score suggests more positive price action ahead. View Live Chart
Timing & Targets
A view of the BTC Growth Since Cycle Lows chart illustrates that BTC is now approximately 925 days removed from its last major cycle low. Historical comparisons to previous bull markets suggest we may be around 140 to 150 days away from a potential top, with both the 2017 and 2021 peaks occurring around 1,060 to 1,070 days after their respective lows. While not deterministic, this alignment reinforces the broader picture of where we are in the cycle. If realized price trends and MVRV thresholds continue on current trajectories, late Q3 to early Q4 2025 may bring final euphoric moves.

Conclusion
The MVRV ratio and its derivatives remain essential tools for analyzing Bitcoin market behavior, providing clear markers for both accumulation and distribution. Whether observing short-term holders hovering near local top thresholds, long-term holders nearing historically significant resistance zones, or adaptive metrics like the 2-Year Rolling MVRV Z-Score signaling plenty of runway left, these data points should be used in confluence.
No single metric should be relied upon to predict tops or bottoms in isolation, but taken together, they offer a powerful lens through which to interpret the macro trend. As the market matures and volatility declines, adaptive metrics will become even more crucial in staying ahead of the curve.

2025-06-09 12:56:33Einmal, im dunklen Wald auf dem Weg ins nĂ€chste Dorf, hielt ich meine Taschenlampe auf den Boden gerichtet, nicht wirklich senkrecht, aber so, dass der Lichtkegel nah bei mir war. Immer wieder lief ein Schatten auf mich zu. Manchmal kam er auch von hinten. Jedes Mal erschrak ich fĂŒrchterlich, ging in Abwehrhaltung und mahnte mich dann zur Einsicht: Wer sollte mir folgen? Was aus dem GebĂŒsch, sollte auf mich zu kommen, oder dicht an mir vorbei laufen wollen? Woher also dieser Schreck, diese Angst? Vielleicht ist es nur das Reptilienhirn und der Ăberlebenssinn der reagiert, vielleicht aber auch ein Teil der PrĂ€gung, die uns verunsichert, wenn wir die Gemeinschaft verlassen und uns anders verhalten.

â Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) June 6, 2025
Under the agreement, the Buyer will acquire shares of Know Labsâ common stock by dividing the total value of 1,000 Bitcoin and a cash amount, designated to pay down existing debt, redeem outstanding preferred equity, and provide additional working capital. For every share purchased it will be priced at $0.335. The Bitcoin will serve as a central element of the Companyâs treasury strategy, giving investors the exposure to Bitcoin.
âIâm thrilled to deploy a Bitcoin treasury strategy with the support of a forward-looking organization like Know Labs at a time when market and regulatory conditions are particularly favorable,â said Mr. Kidd. âWe believe this approach will generate sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value.â
Once Bitcoin becomes the primary asset on the Companyâs balance sheet, management will adopt the multiple of net asset value (mNAV) metric to assess the premium investors place on the Companyâs market value relative to its Bitcoin assets. Based on a market cap of $128 million and a Bitcoin price of $105,000, the estimated entry mNAV multiple is 1.22x, with Bitcoin accounting for approximately 82% of the total market capitalization at closing.
âPartnering with Greg Kidd marks a pivotal next chapter for Know Labs,â commented Mr. Erickson. âWe look forward to continuing our research in non-invasive medical technology. Gregâs visionary leadership positions Know Labs for a bold future.â
The adoption of Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset has dramatically increased over the course of the last year, expanding globally. To date, there are 225 companies and other entities with Bitcoin in their balance sheets.Â
Norwegian Block Exchange (NBX), a leading Nordic cryptocurrency exchange and digital asset platform, announced on June 2 that it has added Bitcoin to its balance sheet, marking a national milestone as the first publicly listed company in Norway to hold Bitcoin as part of its treasury strategy.
âNBX will not sell this Bitcoin or go short in any form,â stated the company. âWith reference to the latest POA notice with LDA capital, NBX will also use proceeds to buy additional Bitcoin.â

2025-06-08 02:00:45When Sergei talks about bitcoin, he doesnât sound like someone chasing profits or followers. He sounds like someone about to build a monastery in the ruins.
While the mainstream world chases headlines and hype, Sergei shows up in local meetups from Sacramento to Cleveland, mentors curious minds, and shares what he knows is true â hoping that, with the right spark, someone will light their own way forward.
We interviewed Sergei to trace his steps: where he started, what keeps him going, and why teaching bitcoin is far more than explaining how to set up a node â itâs about reaching the right minds before the noise consumes them. So we began where most journeys start: at the beginning.
First Steps
- So, where did it all begin for you and what made you stay curious?
I first heard about bitcoin from a friendâs book recommendation, American Kingpin, the book about Silk Road (online drug marketplace). He is still not a true bitcoiner, although I helped him secure private keys with some bitcoin.
I was really busy at the time â focused on my school curriculum, running a 7-bedroom Airbnb, and working for a standardized test prep company. Bitcoin seemed too technical for me to explore, and the pace of my work left no time for it.
After graduating, while pursuing more training, I started playing around with stocks and maximizing my savings. Passive income seemed like the path to early retirement, as per the promise of the FIRE movement (Financial Independence, Retire Early). I mostly followed the mainstream news and my mentorâs advice â he liked preferred stocks at the time.
I had some Coinbase IOUs and remember sending bitcoin within the Coinbase ledger to a couple friends. I also recall the 2018 crash; I actually saw the legendary price spike live but couldnât benefit because my funds were stuck amidst the frenzy. I withdrew from that investment completely for some time. Thankfully, my mentor advised to keep en eye on bitcoin.
Around late 2019, I started DCA-ing cautiously. Additionally, my friend and I were discussing famous billionaires, and how there was no curriculum for becoming a billionaire. So, I typed âbillionairesâ into my podcast app, and landed on We Study Billionaires podcast.
Thatâs where I kept hearing Preston Pysh mention bitcoin, before splitting into his own podcast series, Bitcoin Fundamentals. I didnât understand most of the terminology of stocks, bonds, etc, yet I kept listening and trying to absorb it thru repetition. Today, I realize all that financial talk was mostly noise.
When people ask me for a technical explanation of fiat, I say: itâs all made up, just like the fiat price of bitcoin! Starting in 2020, during the so-called pandemic, I dove deeper. I religiously read Bitcoin Magazine, scrolled thru Bitcoin Twitter, and joined Simply Bitcoin Telegram group back when DarthCoin was an admin.
DarthCoin was my favorite bitcoiner â experienced, knowledgeable, and unapologetic. Watching him shift from rage to kindness, from passion to despair, gave me a glimpse at what a true educatorâs journey would look like.
The struggle isnât about adoption at scale anymore. Itâs about reaching the few who are willing to study, take risks, and stay out of fiat traps. The vast majority wonât follow that example â not yet at least⊠if I start telling others the requirements for true freedom and prosperity, they would certainly say âHell no!â
- At what point did you start teaching others, and why?
After college, I helped teach at a standardized test preparation company, and mentored some students one-on-one. I even tried working at a kindergarten briefly, but left quickly; Babysitting is not teaching.
What I discovered is that those who will succeed donât really need my help â they would succeed with or without me, because they already have the inner drive.
Once you realize your people are perishing for lack of knowledge, the only rational thing to do is help raise their level of knowledge and understanding. Thatâs the Great Work.
I sometimes imagine myself as a political prisoner. If that were to happen, Iâd probably start teaching fellow prisoners, doctors, janitors, even guards. In a way we already live in an open-air prison, So what else is there to do but teach, organize, and conspire to dismantle the Matrix?
Building on Bitcoin
- You hosted some in-person meetups in Sacramento. What did you learn from those?
My first presentation was on MultiSig storage with SeedSigner, and submarine swaps through Boltz.exchange.
I realized quickly that I had overestimated the groupâs technical background. Even the meetup organizer, a financial advisor, asked, âHow is anyone supposed to follow these steps?â I responded that reading was required⊠He decided that Unchained is an easier way.
At a crypto meetup, I gave a much simpler talk, outlining how bitcoin will save the world, based on a DarthCoinâs guide. Only one person stuck around to ask questions â a man who seemed a little out there, and did not really seem to get the message beyond the strength of cryptographic security of bitcoin.
Again, I overestimated the audienceâs readiness. That forced me to rethink my strategy. People are extremely early and reluctant to study.
- Now in Ohio, you hold sessions via the Orange Pill App. Whatâs changed?
My new motto is: educate the educators. The corollary is: donât orange-pill stupid normies (as DarthCoin puts it).
Iâve shifted to small, technical sessions in order to raise a few solid guardians of this esoteric knowledge who really get it and can carry it forward.
The youngest attendee at one of my sessions is a newborn baby â he mostly sleeps, but maybe he still absorbs some of the educational vibes.
- How do local groups like Sactown and Cleveland Bitcoiners influence your work?
Every meetup reflects its local culture. Sacramento and Bay Area Bitcoiners, for example, do camping trips â once we camped through a desert storm, shielding our burgers from sand while others went to shoot guns.
Cleveland Bitcoiners are different. They amass large gatherings. They recently threw a 100k party. They do a bit more community outreach. Some are curious about the esoteric topics such as jurisdiction, spirituality, and healthful living.
I have no permanent allegiance to any state, race, or group. I go where I can teach and learn. I anticipate that in my next phase, Iâll meet Bitcoiners so advanced that Iâll have to give up my fiat job and focus full-time on serious projects where real health and wealth are on the line.
Hopefully, Iâll be ready. I believe the universe always challenges you exactly to your limit â no less, no more.
- What do people struggle with the most when it comes to technical education?
The biggest struggle isnât technical â itâs a lack of deep curiosity. People ask âhowâ and âwhatâ â how do I set up a node, what should one do with the lightning channels? But very few ask âwhy?â
Why does on-chain bitcoin not contribute to the circular economy? Why is it essential to run Lightning? Why did humanity fall into mental enslavement in the first place?
Iâd rather teach two-year-olds who constantly ask âwhyâ than adults who ask how to flip a profit. What worries me most is that most two-year-olds will grow up asking state-funded AI bots for answers and live according to its recommendations.
- One Cleveland Bitcoiner shows up at gold bug meetups. How valuable is face-to-face education?
I donât think the older generation is going to reverse the current human condition. Most of them have been under mind control for too long, and they just donât have the attention span to study and change their ways.
Theyâre better off stacking gold and helping fund their grandkidsâ education. If I were to focus on a demographic, Iâd go for teenagers â high school age â because by college, the indoctrination is usually too strong, and theyâre chasing fiat mastery.
As for the gold bug meetup? Perhaps one day I will show up with a ukulele to sing some bitcoin-themed songs. Seniors love such entertainment.
- How do you choose what to focus on in your sessions, especially for different types of learners?
I donât come in with a rigid agenda. Iâve collected a massive library of resources over the years and never stopped reading. My browser tab and folder count are exploding.
At the meetup, people share questions or topics theyâre curious about, then I take that home, do my homework, and bring back a session based on those themes. I give them the key takeaways, plus where to dive deeper.
Most people wonât â or canât â study the way I do, and I expect attendees to put in the work. I suspect that itâs more important to reach those who want to learn but donât know how, the so-called nescient (not knowing), rather than the ignorant.
There are way too many ignorant bitcoiners, so my mission is to find those who are curious whatâs beyond the facade of fake reality and superficial promises.
That naturally means that fewer people show up, and thatâs fine. Iâm not here for the crowds; Iâm here to educate the educators. One bitcoiner who came decided to branch off into self-custody sessions and thatâs awesome. Personally, Iâm much more focused on Lightning.
I want to see broader adoption of tools like auth, sign-message, NWC, and LSPs. Next month, Iâm going deep into eCash solutions, because letâs face it â most newcomers wonât be able to afford their own UTXO or open a lightning channel; additionally, it has to be fun and easy for them to transact sats, otherwise they wonât do it. Additionally, theyâll need to rely on

2025-06-07 21:10:53If there were only one thing I had to list as the single most effective way to improve a Female Led Relationship (FLR), it would be found in the phrase âyes, Maâam.â Whether trying to get the dynamic off the ground or keep it going during the grind of everyday life, this phraseâand the energy it evokesâencompasses so many essential elements of an FLR. In my experience, not many other things continuously breathe life into a relationship like the magic of âyes, Maâam.â
Of course, this phrase can be modified to the Womanâs desire (âyes, Mistress,â âyes, my Queen,â âyes, Goddessâ are common examples), but âyes, Maâamâ is something acceptable nearly anywhere. Itâs simple, polite, somewhat discreet, and yet extremely effective and powerful. In an FLR (even in a low-protocol dynamic), the phrase is elevated from a basic formality to an invocation of trust, respect, and surrender.
The words by themselves are powerless. But when consistently expressed with the right energy and intention, it becomes a sort of miniature ritual that keeps them both anchored to the relationship. This shouldnât be conflated with âyes, Dear,â a phrase stereotypically used when a man is merely appeasing a Woman. No, the energy here is not to appease, but to please. Because She deserves it.
To illustrate this further, letâs dig into the depth I find in these two words.
An Invocation of Structure, Trust, and Identity
âYes, Maâamâ is so deceptively simple. Itâs a verbal expression of his obedienceâthe bare minimum a Woman should receive in an FLR. And it keeps the framework intact in everyday life, especially when the mood is subtle or non-sexual.
In this way, âyes, Maâamâ reinforces the foundation of the FLR. Each utterance reminds them both of their positions. Each declaration quiets any confusion. Each delivery deepens the dynamic and tightens the structure.
When these words are spoken and consistently followed up with action, they demonstrate emotional maturityâthat heâs moved beyond questioning whether Sheâs ârightâ and into the realm of devotion. It signals to Her that Her needs donât have to be proven to him anymore and that Her preferences donât need to be justified.
Heâs no longer debating Her logic, making excuses, or searching for loopholes; heâs no longer resisting or self-protecting. Heâs not agreeing as an equal, heâs not negotiating with Her, heâs not hedging Her demand. He is simply submitting to Her.
Just as itâs âyes, Maâamâ when She tells him to kneel, itâs also âyes, Maâamâ when She asks him to fix the sink, or dismisses a request, or even reminds him to do something heâs about to do. âYes, Maâam,â then act.
The Words Alone Are Not the Magic
Again, the magic of âyes, Maâamâ doesnât reside in the words themselves, but in the intention, energy, and action behind them. The phrase itself is just a vessel. Just as a chalice, the words hold something sacred, but the sanctity resides in the wine, not the cup. The action, the delivery, and the consistency are what give the phrase its power.
If spoken with resentment, sarcasm, or with no follow-through, they mean nothing. If he speaks them but then delays, argues, or makes excuses, then his submission is inauthentic. This undermines trust and, ultimately, the relationship. But when he says âyes, Maâamâ and immediately acts on Her directionâdespite being tired, flustered, aroused, or even in disagreement, then that is real submission; that is profound trust. And that is what She feels.
And thatâs what he feels. It becomes a reminder of his humility and an expression of self-discipline in service to Her. Over time, it shifts his thought patterns and instincts. He may feel uncertainty, self-pity, or insecurity, but âyes, Maâamâ melts it all into clarity. Old responses like âWell, actuallyâŠâ âCanât I justâŠâ âI thought we agreedâŠâ âWhy canât YouâŠâ are simply replaced with âyes, Maâam.â
Even if heâs feeling exhausted, annoyed, or needy. There are no complaints or explanations, only Her will and a choice to put aside his ego, align with Her rhythm, and re-center his purpose. This is an act of vulnerability. He is placing his emotional safety in Her hands and relying on Her to care for his well-being.
It communicates to Her:
- âI hear You.â
- âI will act on Your desires.â
- âI trust You more than I trust my resistance.â
- âIâm Yours, even now, especially now.âAnd letâs not ignore the erotic undertones in this depth of surrender. A simple phrase makes his discipline audible, echoing Her power. It bears his humility, longing, eagerness, vulnerabilityâhis contained arousal. And She knows. She hears the plea. She feels the weightâthe tensionâthe heatâthe surrendered will⊠Ever-present, even in the most mundane momentsâŠ
Closing Thoughts
Of course, this level of devotion takes practice and a great deal of trust. No one is perfect, so he will fail at times, but thatâs what makes it so beautifulâitâs a continuously active and conscious choice. And, at first, it may sound awkward for him or forced, but with dedication and intention She will begin to hear the tone, feel the vibe, and sense the sincerity in it. This energy is what builds Her trust in him.
This phrase, or rather the mindset behind it, has improved my own relationship so, so much. While it may not fit into every experience, itâs something that I discovered was a missing piece in mine. Enough so that I felt compelled to share.
Because as a relationship goes on, things changeâpassions fluctuate, pain resurfaces, doubts arise, life gets busy, things get heavyâbut âyes, Maâamâ remains steady and intimate. Piece by piece trust and devotion are built with thousands of quiet yeses. And regardless of the circumstances, âyes, Maâamâ gently whispers âthis is still us; this is still our shared truth; this is still sacredâ over and over again.

2025-06-09 16:02:05Key Takeaways
In this episode, Bitcoin Core veteran James OâBeirne delivers a sharp critique of Bitcoinâs developmental stagnation, attributing it to political dysfunction, post-fork trauma, and resistance within Bitcoin Core to critical upgrades like CheckTemplateVerify (CTV). He argues that while institutional adoption accelerates, internal innovation is being stifled by misplaced controversiesâsuch as the OP_RETURN policy debateâand a bottlenecked governance model. OâBeirne warns that without urgent progress on scaling solutions like CTV, congestion control, and vaulting systems, Bitcoin risks ossifying and becoming vulnerable to institutional capture. Advocating a more adversarial posture, he suggests forking or building alternative clients to pressure progress but remains hopeful, seeing rising momentum for protocol upgrades from developers outside the Core elite.
Best Quotes
âEverybody has mempool derangement syndrome⊠itâs such a small issue in the grand scheme of challenges Bitcoin is facing.â
âBitcoin is as much an experiment in technical human organization as it is a pure technology.â
âIf we donât figure out how to scale trustless Bitcoin self-custody, weâre toast. Right now, only about 2.5% of Americans could actually use Bitcoin monthly in a meaningful way.â
âCTV isnât sexyâit just works. It keeps getting reinvented because it's so useful. At this point, itâs essential.â
âIf Core isnât going to evaluate these proposals, someone has to. Otherwise, we need to build the social justification for forking.â
âLightning didnât scale Bitcoin the way we expected. Letâs stop assuming a silver bullet is coming and start building the bridges ourselves.â
âYou could onboard someone with just a phone and a vault⊠and give them more security than most hardware wallets.â
Conclusion
While Bitcoin gains traction with institutions and governments, its internal development is stalling under political inertia and misplaced focus. James OâBeirne urges the community to prioritize impactful upgrades like CTV and CCV, challenge the bottleneck of Bitcoin Core if needed, and recommit to Bitcoinâs foundational principles. This episode underscores the urgent need to bridge technical and social divides to ensure Bitcoin remains a decentralized, censorship-resistant tool for global value transfer.

(00:00) I think I have a somewhat different take than 99% of the people in the discussion. What freaks me out is if you've got Sailor owning half million coins or whatever and Black Rockck owning however many, people forget that Bitcoin is as much an experiment in technical human organization as it is, you know, as a sort of pure technology.
(00:17) The undernowledged reality is I'm actually interested to see if we have like a black swan adoption event from the machines. the risk given the increased scrutiny that things like the strategic Bitcoin reserve introduce there's a shot clock on getting to trustless decentralized value storage technology and I think we really have to be thinking about that combination of physically tired and mentally tired it's also tiresome James it's it's I was looking at that picture today and I was actually going to tweet it absent any caption just because it's
(00:52) a really good Uh yeah, it's a really good epitome of uh of a lot of stuff. But I'm with you, man. I'm tired. It's Friday. Who is it? Is that a just some random Japanese guy? I think it's it's I actually think it's from a documentary about I don't know if it's Africa, but Oh, yes. Yes.
(01:13) It's there's a little bit of a kind of like racy connotation there. Um yeah, the uh it's been long. It was interesting for me. We had Texas Energy Mining Summit here in Austin the beginning of the week. It sort of blended with Bitcoin plus I was over at Bitcoin++ Wednesday and yesterday doing the live desk and obviously topic of conversation is OP return this policy decision and this policy change that that core wants to make and many people are uh angry about and it's just again it's also tiresome.
(01:52) spoke with people on both sides over the two days and I I think I came away more confused than than I entered entered the week like what is the optimal path and somebody who's worked on Bitcoin core worked on Bitcoin core for for many years I've seen you tweeting about it seems like I won't put words in your mouth I'll let you say like what is your perspective on this whole policy debate around op return yeah so in general I think I have a somewhat different take than um 99% of the people in in the discussion which is basically that this
(02:25) is a really stupid discussion um everybody has mempool derangement syndrome like at every layer um and uh what what frustrates me a little bit about the conversation not not to not to uh get like um grumpy right off the bat but it's just it's it's such a small issue in the in the grand scheme of challenges that are being presented to Bitcoin that like spending all this drama on it um is is really a silly use of time and uh kind of emotion, but I can break it down for you.
(03:02) I mean, I think I think like largely the argument is happening on a few layers. Um the change itself technically I'm totally in favor of it. It makes sense. you know, basically the rationale is like, well, you know, um, people want to include exogenous data into the chain. Um, you can't really stop them from doing that.
(03:23) Um and so let's basically minimize the damage by saying hey you know we're going to make it easier for people to actually make use of op return as a data carrier which uh lets us avoid bloat in the UTXO set which is like one of the precious resources we have to take care of for the node.
(03:44) Um, so that's all good and the and the other thing too is that as we've seen with the ordinal stuff is um, you know, data is going to wait make its way into the chain and actually it hurts the whole network when um, there are transactions that most nodes haven't seen yet but they come through a block. Basically that slows down block propagation time.
(04:06) And so the whole idea is if you bring policy closer to the actual consensus rules, closer to the actual transactions that are going to come through and be mined, then you're going to have better network performance. You're going to have lower latency when it comes to actually broadcasting a new block around. So that's like the the sort of technical layer of the discussion.
(04:25) It's it's really a minute non-controversial change if you kind of have fluency with the the technical end of the mempool. Um, but I think there's this this higher layer to the conversation which is sort of a readjudication of spam in Bitcoin. And it's, you know, I think a lot of the the old animal spirits and sentiments are emerging about like, well, we don't like spam.
(04:49) And I think for a lot of people who kind of get lost in the technical details, it's very easy to latch on to the sentiment of I don't like spam. Um and so uh so that makes the sort of ocean knots camp maybe more appealing. Uh so that's yeah that's I guess a summary if you want to jump in anything in particular we can that's what I was saying I came out more confused than I went in.
(05:20) So last week on RHR, hey, I agree. You want policy to be aligned with consensus. Like whether we like it or not, these transactions are getting into blocks. They're non-standard, but they are valid within consensus rules and policy just isn't aligning with that. And like you said, this is disrupting the P2P layer and potentially the fee uh estimation process that that many nodes use, many applications use.
(05:49) And it makes sense to me to align policy with consensus. These things are happening. And if you can make it so Bitcoin full nodes are operating as efficiently and optimally as possible by changing this, it makes sense to me. I think my one like push back was like makes sense to me. However, I think how it was communicated to people and the whole mess with the PR.
(06:12) I think it's I think it's it was it's it's just a tactical error. Like even if this change gets in the the the real benefit of is is not material. You know, nobody was really clamoring for it. um this stuff always, you know, gets the hackles up of everybody who cares at all about, you know, spamming Bitcoin. So, it was a real tactical error.
(06:36) And I think that's that's one place where I mean it's kind of I had a little bit of shot in Freud seeing it because I'm fairly critical of core as a project along you know a variety of axes at this point and it was just kind of a demonstration of the the disconnection and kind of ineptitude of um publicity management kind of on on their end.
(06:58) Um, and so like there's part of me that enjoys seeing that because I I'm kind of convinced that that group has a lot less efficacy than they have credibility. And so to to see that kind of catch up was was interesting. The uh let's dive into that like what you said multiple axes you have a problem. I think we've throughout the years like we've been discussing the issues that Bitcoin like yourself particularly as a Bitcoin core developer for many years trying to get things through not only in the context of the way core works from a governance
(07:35) structure but just the way Bitcoin works as a distributed open source protocol like trying to get changes in and I will say like -

2025-06-09 05:36:53A Junior-level free online course divided in four modules aiming to help you develop experience and confidence with: 1) An approach to mechanical systems design that incorporates ideation, back-of-the-envelope analysis, computational analysis, and prototyping, iteratively and with an appropriate balance for the domain. 2) Designing custom mechanical components, finding and selecting common machine elements, and selecting electric motors and transmission elements to meet performance, efficiency and reliability goals.
The first project introduces the structure of projects in this course; introduces the design approach; reviews and begins to apply statics and stress analysis skills from prerequisite courses to design; introduces finite-element analysis; and provides an opportunity to work out any issues with fabrication methods.
The second project comprises a challenging, open-ended problem: design of a single component for mass efficiency. Success requires sophisticated application of the design approach, including statics analysis using free-body diagrams; stress, deflection and buckling analysis using simplified models and finite-element analysis; and testing of both low-fidelity and functional prototypes.
The third project introduces simple models of electric motors and gears; applies these models to selection of a motor operating point and gear ratio; and introduces the design of experiments to identify important system characteristics.
The fourth project comprises the challenging, open-ended design of a motor-driven machine to maximize electromechanical performance. It requires application of the Design Approach to complex problems in a team setting; effective incorporation of multiple custom and catalog components into an assembly; and sophisticated use motor and gear models, power analysis, and mass-efficient component design.

The companyâs CEO Simon Gerovich announced the purchase on X on June 2, 2025. The company bought the new BTC at an average price of around $107,771 per coin, costing the company approximately $117.3 million.
The company said this purchase brings them 90% of the way to their 2025 goal of 10,000 BTC.
Metaplanet only started its bitcoin treasury policy in April 2024 but has been moving fast. At the start of 2025, it had less than 2,000 BTC, and now it has over 8,800.
This has been done through a combination of stock rights exercises and bond issuances, raising capital without diluting existing shareholders. In May 2025 alone, Metaplanet issued zero-coupon, non-interest-bearing bonds for a combined value of $71 million.
According to the filings, the company recently completed its â21 Million Planâ which was a program that involved the full exercise of 210 million stock acquisition rights.
These stock rights allowed Metaplanet to raise capital through equity sales while limiting dilution risk.
Metaplanetâs Bitcoin strategist, Dylan LeClair, said the company views bitcoin as a core part of its financial strategy and is all in, not just making small allocations.
Metaplanetâs buying has paid off in more ways than one.
Its BTC Yield, a company metric that compares bitcoin holdings to total shares, has impressed investors. In Q2 2025 it had a 66.3% BTC Yield, year-to-date it has a 225% BTC Yield.
Metaplanet BTC Yield over time â Vincent on X
The stock is up 155% in the last month and is currently trading at 1,149 JPY, despite the overall volatility in the Tokyo Stock Exchangeâwhere many other companies are under pressure due to the rising Japanese bond yields.
Analysts say the company still has more room to run.
Analysts say the companyâs mNAV is back to 4.75 and the stock is undervalued compared to Strategy.
mNAV is short for âmultiple of Net Asset Valueâ and is a metric used to compare the marketâs valuation of a company to the actual value of its assets, primarily its bitcoin holdings.
Metaplanet is called âJapanâs Strategyâ, a reference to Michael Saylorâs Strategy, the U.S.-based company that holds over 580,000 BTCâthe most of any company in the world.
The corporate bitcoin boom isnât stopping with Strategy and Metaplanet. On May 28, 2025 GameStop announced it had bought 4,710 BTC, worth over $512 million, its first foray into bitcoin after updating its investment policy this year.

Bitcoin Layer 2: ArkArk is a novel off-chain transaction batching mechanism originally proposed by Burak, a young Turkish developer. There are currently two implementations being built, one by Ark Labs, and the other by Second, neither of which Burak is involved with.Â
The original proposal for Ark was much more complicated, and involved some design goals more focused around privacy than the implementations currently being built. It was also originally envisioned to require CHECKTEMPLATEVERIFY (CTV) in order to be built.Â
The protocol depends on a central coordinating server in order to function properly, but despite that is able to provide the same functionality and security guarantees that the Lightning Network does. As long as a user stays online during the required time period, at all times (unless they choose to trust the operator for short periods of time) every user is capable at any time of unilaterally exiting the Ark system at any time and taking back full unilateral control of their funds onchain.Â
Unlike Lightning, Ark does not require users to have pre-allocated liquidity assigned to them in order to receive funds. An Ark user can simply onboard to a wallet and receive funds immediately with no liquidity pre-allocation at all.Â
Letâs walk through the different constituent pieces of Ark.
The Ark Tree
Coins held on Ark are called Virtual UTXOs (vUTXOs). These are simply pre-signed transactions that guarantee the creation of a real UTXO under the unilateral control of a user once submitted onchain, but are otherwise held offchain.Â
Every userâs vUTXOs are nested inside a tree of pre-signed transactions, or a âbatch.â Ark works by having the coordinator server, or Ark Service Provider (ASP), facilitate the coordination between users necessary to create a batch. Whenever users are receiving funds, onboarding to Ark, or offboarding, it is necessary to construct a transaction and the associated transaction tree to create a new batch.Â
The tree is constructed to take the single root UTXO confirmed onchain, locked with an n-of-n multisig including all users holding vUTXOs in the tree as well as the ASP, and slowly split into more and more UTXOs until eventually reaching the leaves, which are each users vUTXO. Each vUTXO is guaranteed using a script that has to be signed by a 2-of-2 multisig, one key held by the user, and the other by the ASP, or just the user after a timelock.Â
Each time the tree splits, vUTXOs are created onchain, but so are more internal UTXOs that have yet to actually split into vUTXOs. Each of these internal UTXOs is locked with an n-of-n multisig composed of the ASP, and all users who have a vUTXO further down the tree. During the batch creation process, users start at their respective vUTXOs, and go through a signing process all the way back down the root of the tree. This guarantees that the root will never be signed before each userâs claim to a vUTXO is, ensuring they always have unilateral access in a worst case scenario to their funds.Â
Each batch also has an expiry time (which will make sense in the next section). This expiry spend path, which exists as an alternate spending condition for the root UTXO onchain as well as every internal UTXO, allows the ASP to unilaterally spend all funds by itself.Â
Transactions, Preconfirmation, and Connector Inputs
When it comes to transacting on Ark, there are two possible mechanisms that are possible, both with their own costs and implications in terms of security model. There are out-of-round transfers, or preconfirmed transactions, and there are in-round transfers, or actually confirmed transactions.Â
To conduct an out-of-round transfer is a very simple process. If one user (Alice) wants to pay another (Bob), they simply contact the ASP and have them co-sign a transaction spending the vUTXO to Bob. Bob is then given that pre-signed transaction, as well as all the other ones preceding it back to the batch root onchain. Bob is now capable of unilaterally exiting the Ark with this transaction, but, he must trust the ASP not to collude with Alice to doublespend it. These out-of-round transactions can even be chained multiple times before finally confirming them.Â
To finalize an Ark transaction, users have to engage in a âbatch swap.â Users cannot actually trustlessly confirm a transfer within a single batch, they have to atomically swap a vUTXO in an existing batch with a fresh vUTXO created in a new batch. This is done using the ASP as a facilitator of the swap, and with the aid of what is called a âconnector input.â
When a user goes to finalize an Ark transaction with a batch swap, they relinquish control of the vUTXO to the ASP. This could be problematic, what is to stop the ASP from simply keeping it and not giving them a confirmed vUTXO in a new batch? The connector input.Â
When a new batch is created, a second output is created in the transaction that is confirmed on chain instantiating a new tree composed of connector UTXOs. When Bob goes to sign over a forfeit transaction to the ASP to conduct the batch swap, the transaction includes as an input one of the connector UTXOs from the new batch.Â
This creates an atomic guarantee. Bobâs confirmed vUTXO is included in a batch in the same transaction the connector input is created in that is necessary for his forfeit transaction to be valid. If that batch is never created onchain, i.e. Bob never actually receives the new confirmed vUTXO, then the forfeit transaction he signed for the ASP will never be valid and confirmable onchain.
Liquidity Dynamics and Blockspace
All of the liquidity necessary to create new batches in order to facilitate transfers between users is provided by the ASP. They are required to have enough liquidity to create new batches for users until old ones have expired and the ASP can unilaterally sweep them to reclaim old liquidity previously locked up to create vUTXOs for users.Â
This is the core of the liquidity dynamic at the center of the Ark protocol. While in one sense this is a massive efficiency win, not requiring liquidity providers to assess users and essentially guess which ones will actually receive large volumes of payments before they can receive any funds, in another it is an efficiency loss as the ASP must have enough liquidity to continue creating new batches for users for however long they configure the expiry time to be and they can start reclaiming allocated liquidity.Â
This can be mitigated to a decent degree by how often an ASP offers to create new batches to finalize pending transactions. In the event of an ASP attempting to create new batches in real time as transactions are coming in, the liquidity requirements would be exorbitantly high. However, an ASP can lower the frequency at which they create new batches and drastically lower their liquidity requirements.Â
This dynamic also has implications for blockspace use. Unlike Lightning, which can provide strong confirmation guarantees entirely offchain, in order for an Ark transaction to have an equivalent trustless degree of finality a new batch has to be created onchain. This means that unlike Lightning, where transaction volume does not reflect itself onchain, the velocity of Ark transactions inherently requires a proportional amount of blockspace use, albeit in a very compressed and efficient manner. This creates a theoretical upper limit of how many Ark batches can be created during any given time interval (although Ark trees can be smaller or larger depending on this dynamic).Â
Wrapping Up
Ark presents in many ways an almost opposite set of tradeoffs to the Lightning Network. It is a massive blockspace efficiency improvement for offchain transactions, and does away with the problem of liquidity allocation on the Lightning Network, but it does have a much closer tied throughput limit that is correlated with the blockchains throughput limit.Â
This dynamic of almost opposite tradeoffs makes it a very complementary system to the Lightning Network. It can also interoperate with it, i.e. vUTXOs can be swapped atomically in transactions entering or exiting the Lightning Network.Â
Ultimately how it fits into the broader Bitcoin ecosystem is yet to be seen, but it is an undoubtedly valuable protocol stack that will find some functional niche, even if it is different than originally intended.

2025-06-09 16:01:24The latest AI chips, 8K displays, and neural processing units make your device feel like a pocket supercomputer. So surely, with all this advancement, you can finally mine bitcoin on your phone profitably, right?
The 2025 Hardware Reality: Can You Mine Bitcoin on Your Phone
Despite remarkable advances in smartphone technology, the fundamental physics of bitcoin mining havenât changed. In 2025, flagship devices with their cutting-edge 2nm processors can achieve approximately 25-40 megahashes per second when you mine bitcoin on your phoneâa notable improvement from previous generations, but still laughably inadequate.
Meanwhile, 2025âs top-tier ASIC miners have evolved dramatically. The latest Bitmain Antminer S23 series and Canaan AvalonMiner A15 Pro deliver 200-300 terahashes per second while consuming 4,000-5,500 watts. Thatâs a performance gap of roughly 1:8,000,000 between when you mine bitcoin on your phone and professional mining equipment.
To put this in perspective that hits home: if you mine bitcoin on your phone and it earned you one penny, professional miners would earn $80,000 in the same time period with the same effort. Itâs not just an efficiency problemâitâs a complete category mismatch.
According to Pocket Optionâs 2025 analysis, when you mine bitcoin on your phone in 2025, you generate approximately $0.003-0.006 in daily revenue while consuming $0.45-0.85 in electricity through constant charging cycles. Factor in the accelerated device wear (estimated at $0.75-1.20 daily depreciation), and youâre looking at losses of $1.20-2.00 per day just for the privilege of running mining software.

Bitcoinâs 2025 Network: Harder Than Ever
Bitcoinâs network difficulty in 2025 has reached unprecedented levels. After the April 2024 halving event that reduced block rewards from 6.25 to 3.125 BTC, mining became significantly more competitive. The global hash rate now exceeds 800 exahashes per secondâthatâs 800 followed by 18 zeros worth of computational power securing the network.
Hereâs what this means in practical terms: Bitcoinâs mining difficulty adjusts every 2,016 blocks (roughly every two weeks) to maintain the 10-minute block time. As more efficient miners join the network, difficulty increases proportionally. In 2025, mining difficulty has increased compared to 2024, making small-scale mining even less viable.
The math is unforgiving:
- Global Bitcoin hash rate: 828.96 EH/s
- Your smartphoneâs contribution: ~0.000000003%
- Probability of solo mining a block: Virtually zero
- Expected time to mine one Bitcoin:Â Several million years
Even joining mining pools doesnât solve the economic problem. Pool fees typically range from 1-3%, and your minuscule contribution would earn proportionally tiny rewardsâfar below the electricity and device depreciation costs.
The 2025 Scam Evolution: More Sophisticated, More Dangerous
Fraudsters now leverage AI-generated content, fake influencer endorsements, and impressive-looking apps that simulate realistic mining activity to entice you to mine bitcoin on your phone.
New 2025 scam tactics include:
AI-Powered Fake Testimonials: Deepfake videos of supposed successful mobile miners showing fabricated earnings statements and encouraging downloads of malicious apps.
Gamified Mining Interfaces: Apps that look and feel like legitimate games but secretly harvest personal data while simulating mining progress that can never be withdrawn.
Social Media Manipulation: Coordinated campaigns across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube featuring fake âfinancial influencersâ promoting mobile mining apps to younger audiences.
Subscription Trap Mining: Apps offering âfree trialsâ that automatically charge $19.99-49.99 monthly for âpremium mining speedsâ while delivering no actual mining capability.
Recent cybersecurity research shows that over 180 fake mining apps were discovered across major app stores in 2025, with some accumulating more than 500,000 downloads before being removed.
Red flags that scream âscamâ in 2025:
- Apps claiming ârevolutionary mobile mining breakthroughâ
- Promises of earning â$10-50 dailyâ from phone mining
- Requirements to recruit friends or watch ads to unlock withdrawals
- Apps that donât require connecting to actual mining pools
- Testimonials that seem too polished or use stock photo models
- Apps requesting permissions unrelated to mining (contacts, camera, microphone)
The 2025 Professional Mining Landscape
To understand why, consider what professional bitcoin mining looks like in 2025. Industrial mining operations now resemble high-tech data centers with:
Cutting-edge hardware:
- Bitmain Antminer S23 Pro: 280 TH/s at 4,800W
- MicroBT WhatsMiner M56S++: 250 TH/s at 4,500W
- Canaan AvalonMiner A1566: 185 TH/s at 3,420W
Infrastructure requirements:
- Megawatt-scale power contracts with industrial electricity rates
- Liquid cooling systems maintaining 24/7 optimal temperatures
- Redundant internet connections ensuring zero downtime
- Professional facility management with 24/7 monitoring
For a small operation, you might need at least $10,000 to $20,000 to buy a few ASIC miners, set up cooling systems, and cover electricity costs. These operations employ teams of engineers, maintain relationships with power companies, and operate with margins measured in single-digit percentages.
2025âs Legitimate Mobile Bitcoin Strategies
While it remains impossible to mine bitcoin on your phone profitably, 2025 offers exciting legitimate ways to engage with bitcoin through your smartphone:
Lightning Network Participation: Apps like Phoenix, Breez, and Zeus allow you to run Lightning nodes on mobile devices, earning small routing fees while supporting bitcoinâs payment layer.
Bitcoin DCA Automation: Services enable automated dollar-cost averaging with amounts as small as $1 daily. Historical data shows $10 weekly bitcoin purchases consistently outperform any mobile mining attempt by 1,500-2,000%.
Educational Mining Simulators: Legitimate apps like âBitcoin Mining Simulatorâ teach mining concepts without false earning promises. These educational tools help users understand hash rates, difficulty adjustments, and mining economics.
Stacking Sats Rewards: Apps offering bitcoin rewards for shopping, learning, or completing tasks.
Lightning Gaming: Bitcoin-native mobile games where players can earn sats through skilled gameplay, with some players earning $10 monthly.onfirm that even the most optimized mobile mining setups in 2025 lose money consistently and predictably.
The Bottom Line
When you mine bitcoin on your phone fundamental economics remain unchanged:Â itâs impossible to profit. The laws of physics, network competition, and energy efficiency create insurmountable barriers that no app can overcome.
However, 2025 offers unprecedented opportunities to engage with bitcoin meaningfully through your smartphone. Focus on education, legitimate earning opportunities, and strategic investment rather than chasing the impossible dream of phone-based mining.
The bitcoin communityâs greatest strength lies in its commitment to truth over hype. When someone promises profits to mine bitcoin on your phone in 2025, theyâre either uninformed or deliberately misleading you. Trust the mathematics, learn from the community, and build your bitcoin knowledge and holdings through proven methods.
The real opportunity in 2025Â isnât to mine bitcoin on your phoneâitâs understanding bitcoin deeply enough to participate confidently in the most important monetary revolution of our lifetime. Your smartphone is the perfect tool for that education; itâs just not a mining rig.

2025-06-07 16:39:47Nur fĂŒrâs Protokoll. Hiermit erklĂ€re ich, Georg Ohrweh, im tatsĂ€chlich vorhandenen vollen Besitz meiner geistigen KrĂ€fte, dass Herr Lauterbach, gleich welche Position er in Zukunft noch bekleiden sollte, fĂŒr mich nicht zustĂ€ndig ist. Basta.
Ein Erguss dieses verhaltensoriginellen Ăber-alles-Bescheidwissers:
âWir kommen jetzt in eine Phase hinein, wo der Ausnahmezustand die NormalitĂ€t sein wird. Wir werden ab jetzt immer im Ausnahmezustand sein. Der Klimawandel wird zwangslĂ€ufig mehr Pandemien bringen.â
Wie kann es sein, dass solch eine Ausnahme-Gestalt, die schon rein Ă€uĂerlich die Phantasie zu Vergleichen anregt, sich leider auch genauso verhĂ€lt, wie die Gestalten, die in diesen Phantasien vorkommen, ungebremst auf der Panik-Klaviatur kakophonische KlĂ€nge erzeugen darf? Obwohl ein wenig Wahrheit ist auch enthalten: Wir sind tatsĂ€chlich immer im Ausnahmezustand, im Ausnahmezustand des fortgeschrittenen Wahnsinns.
Wie kann es sein, dass dieser Haaaarvardist seinen persönlich empfundenen Ausnahmezustand zum Allgemeingut erklĂ€ren kann? Welche VerknĂŒpfungs-Phantasien hat er sonst noch studiert? Er ist ja auch noch Vorsitzender im Raumfahrtausschuss. Was kommt als NĂ€chstes? Eine Klima-Pandemie, verursacht durch auĂerirdische Viren, die die Temperaturen beeinflussen können? Im aktuellen Zeitgeist gibt es nichts, was nicht gedacht wird. Wem die besseren AbsurditĂ€ten einfallen, der gewinnt. Man muss sich schon den gegebenen Denkstrukturen etwas anpassen, aber sich auch ein wenig MĂŒhe geben.
Nach dem Wechsel der ehemaligen AuĂen-Dings zur UN (mit dem Ziel, aus den Vereinten Nationen die Feministischen Nationen zu gestalten) und des ehemaligen Wirtschafts-Dings in den AuĂenausschuss und als Gastdozent in Kalifornien (Thema: Wirtschaftsvernichtung unter Einbeziehung des gespannten VerhĂ€ltnisses unter Geschwistern aufgrund Ă€rmlicher VerhĂ€ltnisse, am Beispiel des MĂ€rchens von HĂ€nsel und Gretel) , jetzt auch noch der ehemalige Chef-Panikmacher zur WHO.
âŠund der Wahnsinn wurde hinausgetragen in die Welt, und es wurde dunkel, und es ward Nacht, und es wurde helle, und es ward Tag, der Wind blies oder auch nicht (was macht der Wind eigentlich, wenn er nicht weht?), und es ward Winter, und es wurde kĂ€lter, und es wurde wĂ€rmer, und es ward Sommer. Es regnete nicht mehr, die Wolken schwitzten. Und Putin verhinderte (wer auch sonst), dass das Eis in der Antarktis abnahm.
Wiederholte Bodentemperaturen in der Toskana von 50 Grad Celsius. Zu erwartende Wassertemperaturen wÀhrend Ferragosto an der italienischen Adria von durchschnittlich 100 Grad Celsius. An Stellen mit wenig Strömung stiegen schon die ersten Kochblasen auf. Doch dann kam der durch Lachs gestÀhlte, salzlose Super-Karl und rettete mit einem durch die WHO diktierten Klima-Logdown die gesamte Menschheit. Wer besser, als er konnte wissen, dass ein Klima-Logdown weitgehend nebenwirkungsfrei ist.
Was fĂŒr ein Segen, dass Karl der GroĂe, der uns so siegreich durch die Corona-Schlacht gefĂŒhrt hat, jetzt auch gegen das Klima in den Krieg zieht.
Wer kennt das nicht, Tage der Qual, in denen man zugeben muss: Ich habâ heute so schlimm Klima.
Viele Klimaexperten, die weltweit in der QualitÀtspropaganda zitiert werden, zeichnen sich besonders dadurch aus, dass sie mit einer maximalen Abweichung von einem Grad Celsius ein Thermometer fehlerfrei ablesen können. Diese Ungenauigkeit wird der Erdverkochungsexperte sicher als erstes beheben.
In einer aufopfernden Studie wĂ€hrend eines Urlaubs in 2023, in der um die damalige Zeit erstmals eisfreien Toskana, hat er den von ihm ausgetĂŒftelten Klimaschutzplan ins Rheinische ĂŒbersetzt. Titel: âSchĂŒtzen Sie sisch, und, Ă€h, andere!â Weiter konnte er erforschen, dass die Bodentemperatur nicht immer mit der Temperatur des Erdkerns ĂŒbereinstimmen muss.
Durch seine unermĂŒdlichen Studien, können Hitzetote in Zukunft besser zugeordnet werden. Man weiĂ dann, ob jemand an hohen oder mit hohen Temperaturen gestorben ist. Der asymptomatische Klimawandel kann so in Zukunft viel besser bewertet werden. Man hat aus geringfĂŒgigen Fehlern gelernt und die Methoden erheblich verbessert.
Eine prĂ€zise Vorhersage der Jahreszeiten, vor allem die des Sommers, wird bald ebenfalls möglich sein. Es kann jetzt vor jahreszeitbedingten, teilweise sogar tĂ€glich schwankenden TemperaturverĂ€nderungen rechtzeitig gewarnt werden. Im Herbst können Heizempfehlungen fĂŒr die ahnungslose Bevölkerung herausgegeben werden. Frieren war gestern, wissen wann es kalt wird, ist heute. Es wird an Farben geforscht, die noch roter sein sollen, als die, die jetzt in den Wetterkarten bei 21 Grad bereits verwendet werden.
Eine allgemeine Heizpflicht soll es europaweit zunÀchst nicht geben.
Weiter soll die Lichteinstrahlung der Sonne noch prÀziser bestimmt werden, damit den EuropÀern, in ErgÀnzung zur mitteleuropÀischen Sommerzeit, jetzt auch noch genau mitgeteilt werden kann, wann es Tag und wann es Nacht ist.
Das Hinausschauen aus dem Fenster, zum Beispiel, ob es schon dunkel drauĂen ist, erĂŒbrigt sich. Die Tageszeit, in ErgĂ€nzung zur herkömmlichen Uhrzeit, wird demnĂ€chst automatisch mit dem Klima-Pass ĂŒbermittelt werden. Zu Anfang natĂŒrlich erst einmal freiwillig.
Durch die persönliche ID können dann auch schnell und unkompliziert SonderprĂ€mien ĂŒberwiesen werden, sofern man sich klimakonform verhalten hat, damit man sich rechtzeitig vor Winterbeginn eine warme Jacke oder einen Mantel kaufen kann. Das Sparen von Bargeld auf eine bevorstehende gröĂere Anschaffung von Winterkleidung wird somit ĂŒberflĂŒssig.
Ob es am Ende nun um Hitze oder KĂ€lte geht, spielt eigentlich gar keine Rolle, denn wie wussten schon die Ahnen zu berichten: Was gut fĂŒr die KĂ€lte ist, ist auch gut fĂŒr die WĂ€rme.
Westliche MÀchte unternehmen immer wieder Versuche, eskalierend auf den Ukraine-Konflikt einzuwirken, damit man atombetriebene Heizpilze aufstellen kann, an denen sich die EuropÀer im Winter auch im Freien wÀrmen können.
Wie praktisch, dass man nicht nur Gesundheit und Klima, sondern auch Klima und Krieg miteinander verbinden kann. Alles so, oder so Àhnlich möglicherweise nachzulesen im genialen Hitzeschutzplan å la Lauterbach.
Besonders Deutschland braucht nicht nur lauterbachsche HitzeschutzrÀume, nein es braucht atomsichere Hitzeschutzbunker, so schlÀgt man gleich zwei Fliegen mit einer Klappe.
FĂŒr die, die es sich leisten können, hier ein Vorschlag. Der K2000:
FĂŒr die weniger gut Betuchten reicht auch ein kĂŒhles Kellerloch, das man idealerweise im Februar beziehen und nicht vor November wieder verlassen sollte, so die Empfehlung auch von fĂŒhrenden Klima-Forschern, die es ja wissen mĂŒssen. Von Dezember bis Januar empfiehlt sich ein Besuch auf den Bahamas, besonders dann, wenn man eine leichte ErkĂ€ltung verspĂŒrt.
Nur Verschwörungstheoretiker behaupten, dass die eigenartigen Anschlussverwendungen der Extrem-KapazitĂ€ten, zu denen Lauterbach ohne Zweifel dazugehört, wie dicke rote Pfeile wirken, die auf Institutionen und Organisationen zeigen, um die man unter allen UmstĂ€nden einen groĂen Bogen machen sollte, weil sie möglicherweise nichts Gutes im Schilde fĂŒhren. Minimal sollen sie angeblich Unsinn verbreiten, maximal sollen sie gehörigen Schaden anrichten.
Man muss sich nur ein paar Gedanken machen, schon kann man feststellen, wie alles mit allem zusammenhÀngt.

2025-06-07 16:01:19Wall Street is warming up to Bitcoin and getting closer and closer to it.
Cantor Fitzgerald, one of the oldest and most respected investment banks on Wall Street, has launched a $2 billion bitcoin-backed lending program.
Theyâve reportedly already done their first deals, lending to two big digital asset companies: FalconX and Maple Finance.
This is a big step in connecting traditional finance to the fast-moving world of Bitcoin.
Cantorâs new service allows big investors, hedge funds and asset managers, to borrow money using bitcoin as collateral.
This is a game changer for institutions that hold bitcoin, as they can now access liquidity without having to sell their assets.
âInstitutions holding bitcoin are looking to broaden their access to diverse funding sources,â said Christian Wall, co-CEO and global head of fixed income at Cantor Fitzgerald.
âAnd we are excited to support their liquidity needs to help them drive long term growth and success.â
The loans are not speculative or unsecured.
They are structured like traditional finance deals, backed by the borrowerâs bitcoin. This reduces the risk for Cantor while giving bitcoin-holding companies new ways to grow and operate.
The first recipients of Cantorâs lending program are FalconX, a digital asset brokerage, and Maple Finance, a blockchain-based lending platform.
FalconX confirmed they secured a credit facility of over $100 million. Maple Finance also received the first tranche of their loan from Cantor.
This comes at a time when the bitcoin lending space is recovering after a tough period. Several big firms went under in 2022 and investor confidence was shaken.
Now with traditional finance on board, bitcoin-backed lending has returned. According to Galaxy Research the total size of the digital asset lending market grew to $36.5 billion in Q4 2024.
Cantorâs move into bitcoin-backed lending isnât new. They announced their plans in July 2024 and have been building their presence in the Bitcoin space since then.
Earlier this year, they partnered with Tether, SoftBank and Bitfinex to launch Twenty One Capital, a $3.6 billion fund to buy over 42,000 bitcoin.
In May 2025 Cantor Equity Partners merged with Twenty One Capital and bought nearly $459 million worth of bitcoin.
They also own around $1.9 billion in shares of Strategy, a company that holds a lot of bitcoin. Clearly Cantor believes in bitcoin as a long-term asset.
Cantor is also a big player in the stablecoin space.
They manage U.S. Treasury reserves for Tether, the company behind the $142 billion USDT stablecoin. This adds another layer of trust and credibility to Cantorâs digital asset involvement.
To secure the bitcoin used as collateral, Cantor has partnered with digital asset custodians Anchorage Digital and Copper.co.
These companies are known for their robust security and institutional-grade infrastructure. Cantor hasnât disclosed loan terms or interest rates but confirmed the lending will follow current regulations.
This also shows how traditional financial players are embracing DeFi.
Maple Finance for example allows undercollateralized lending using blockchain. By backing companies like Maple, Cantor is innovating while still having control and compliance.
For years, bitcoin-backed loans were only available through digital-asset-native companies like Genesis, BlockFi, and Ledn.
These loans were mostly for smaller clients and retail investors. But with Cantorâs entry, the scale and professionalism of bitcoin lending are expanding.

2025-06-09 05:02:24The newly proposed RESTRICT ACT - is being advertised as a TikTok Ban, but is much broader than that, carries a $1M Fine and up to 20 years in prisonïž! It is unconstitutional and would create massive legal restrictions on the open source movement and free speech throughout the internet.
The Bill was proposed by: Senator Warner, Senator Thune, Senator Baldwin, Senator Fischer, Senator Manchin, Senator Moran, Senator Bennet, Senator Sullivan, Senator Gillibrand, Senator Collins, Senator Heinrich, and Senator Romney. It has broad support across Senators of both parties.
Corrupt politicians will not protect us. They are part of the problem. We must build, support, and learn how to use censorship resistant tools in order to defend our natural rights.
The RESTRICT Act, introduced by Senators Warner and Thune, aims to block or disrupt transactions and financial holdings involving foreign adversaries that pose risks to national security. Although the primary targets of this legislation are companies like Tik-Tok, the language of the bill could potentially be used to block or disrupt cryptocurrency transactions and, in extreme cases, block Americansâ access to open source tools or protocols like Bitcoin.
The Act creates a redundant regime paralleling OFAC without clear justification, it significantly limits the ability for injured parties to challenge actions raising due process concerns, and unlike OFAC it lacks any carve-out for protected speech. COINCENTER ON THE RESTRICT ACT

2025-06-07 15:02:22Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the company behind Truth Social and other Trump-branded digital platforms, is planning to raise $2.5 billion to build one of the largest bitcoin treasuries among public companies.
The deal involves the sale of approximately $1.5 billion in common stock and $1.0 billion in convertible senior secured notes.
According to the company, the offering is expected to close by the end of May, pending standard closing conditions.
Devin Nunes, CEO of Trump Media, said the investment in bitcoin is a big part of the companyâs long-term plan.
âWe view Bitcoin as an apex instrument of financial freedom,â Nunes said.
âThis investment will help defend our Company against harassment and discrimination by financial institutions, which plague many Americans and U.S. firms.â
He added that the bitcoin treasury will be used to create new synergies across the companyâs platforms including Truth Social, Truth+, and the upcoming financial tech brand Truth.Fi.
âItâs a big step forward in the companyâs plans to evolve into a holding company by acquiring additional profit-generating, crown jewel assets consistent with America First principles,â Nunes said.
The $2.5 billion raise will come from about 50 institutional investors. The $1 billion in convertible notes will have 0% interest and be convertible into shares at a 35% premium.
TMTGâs current liquid assets, including cash and short-term investments, are $759 million as of the end of the first quarter of 2025. With this new funding, the companyâs liquid assets will be over $3 billion.
Custody of the bitcoin treasury will be handled by Crypto.com and Anchorage Digital. They will manage and store the digital assets.
Earlier this week The Financial Times reported Trump Media was planning to raise $3 billion for digital assets acquisitions.
The article said the funds would be used to buy bitcoin and other digital assets, and an announcement could come before a major related event in Las Vegas.

Trump Media denied the FT report. In a statement, the company said, âApparently the Financial Times has dumb writers listening to even dumber sources.â
There was no further comment. However, the official $2.5 billion figure, which was announced shortly after by Trump Media through a press release, aligns with its actual filing and investor communication.
Trump Mediaâs official announcement
This comes at a time when the Trump family and political allies are showing renewed interest in Bitcoin.
President Donald Trump who is now back in office since the 2025 election, has said he wants to make the U.S. the âcrypto capital of the world.â
Trump Media is also working on retail bitcoin investment products including ETFs aligned with America First policies.
These products will make bitcoin more accessible to retail investors and support pro-Trump financial initiatives.
But not everyone is happy.
Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren recently expressed concerns about Trump Mediaâs Bitcoin plans. She asked U.S. regulators to clarify their oversight of digital-asset ETFs, warning of investor risk.
Industry insiders are comparing Trump Mediaâs plans to Strategy (MSTR) which has built a multi-billion dollar bitcoin treasury over the last year. They used stock and bond sales to fund their bitcoin purchases.

Bitcoin 2025 Las Vegas: Hereâs What Went DownÂMy name is Jenna Montgomery, and maybe youâve read some of my news articles here before, or seen me on the Bitcoin Magazine TikTok. But today, I wanted to switch it up and give you an inside look at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference in Las Vegas through my eyes as an intern, hired just one month before the conference, having little knowledge about Bitcoin beforehand and never attending an event like this before.Â
Iâm writing this to give you a real, raw reflection of what I experienced over the course of the three day event, and why I believe you should absolutely attend the next Bitcoin conference. I want you all to know what goes down, what to expect, and to know how impactful I think this event really is. Bitcoin 2025 made a lasting impact on me and my life, and it just feels right to tell you why, so yours can maybe be changed too.
I got off the plane, threw my suitcase in my hotel room, and went to go and see the convention center as all of the finishing touches around the venue were being added. I remember thinking how big, beautiful, and fun the expo hall wasâand where I would soon meet so many new people, make so many friends, and shake hands with people that I looked up to and admired.Â
I will never forget walking in and seeing the main conference stage, The Nakamoto Stage, for the first time. Seeing that giant room with a symphony and endless rows of chairs, soon to be filled with thousands of passionate Bitcoiners, really put in perspective to me how Bitcoin 2025 wasnât just a conference, it felt like something bigger. I realized itâs an actual community and a place of countless opportunities.Â
The conference is essentially split up into 3 days: Industry Day, General Admission Day 1, and General Admission Day 2. Industry Day was mainly tailored towards professionals, investors, founders, and others focused on Bitcoin businesses. The general admission days were tailored more towards the casual Bitcoiner, and those were the days that I really felt the energy just exploding around the convention center.
Walking into the expo hall early in the morning on Industry Day, I was overwhelmed when I saw all of the vendors and companies setting up their tables, booths, stages, and even a rock climbing wall (thank you CleanSpark). It seemed as if the expo hall went for miles and miles, and featured a long orange carpet that made an intricate path through the venue that led you to each and every booth.

I remember being in total awe as I looked up at the ceiling and saw a huge UFO in the middle of the expo hall, with two Bitcoin themed Cybertrucks just off to the side of it, with lots of other interesting booths including one with a talking robot.

As I followed the long orange carpet around the venue, I looked over my shoulder and saw a huge blow-up of a Bitcoin Puppet in the art exhibit, featuring all kinds of other cool Bitcoin art. Some of these pieces of art were worth well over one bitcoinâwhich was mindblowing to me considering that is more than $100,000. Every good revolution has good art, and seeing all the talented artists pouring their hearts into their work helped me believe that Bitcoin is the future.Â
Now, it was time to get to work at where I would spend the majority of my time over the next few days. My coworkers and I were stationed up right in front of the Bitcoin Magazine news desk next to the AV (audio-visual) team, where I had a perfect view of everything. Here, I spent all day every day writing news articles for Bitcoin Magazine based on the speeches, keynotes, and other panels happening on the Nakamoto stage, as well as filming TikTokâs around the expo hall with attendees.
Working in front of the news desk was one of my favorite things about the conference. Everyone who spoke on it live had an electrifying personality that kept me locked into every conversation, especially one of the hosts Pete Rizzo. After every talk on the Nakamoto Stage ended, the live stream would pan over to the news desk where they would break down what happened, providing viewers with expert analysis. This was something extremely very fun to watch live and experience the production of it all first hand.
The talks on Industry Day kicked off to such a great start with Dan Edwards from Steak ân Shake, who recently became the first major fast food chain in America to begin accepting Bitcoin Lightning payments. So I was very excited to hear about Edwardsâ speech and to visit Steak ân Shakeâs incredible booth, which also featured a group of fun, dancing cows.Â

While speaking on stage, Edwards revealed that, âBitcoin is faster than credit cards, and when customers choose to pay in Bitcoin, weâre saving 50% in processing fees.â Just think about that for a second â saving a whole 50% on each transaction? This really opened my eyes to the benefits of accepting Bitcoin as payment and why it could mean to merchants who adopt it.
Based on everything I heard in that speech, I think Steak ân Shake may be the first to start a new trend of other big companies accepting Bitcoin. If they recognized the benefits of Bitcoin, itâs only a matter of time before other franchises do as well.

Another big highlight from this day was hearing Senator Cynthia Lummis confirm that President Donald Trump supports her Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act. There were so many statements made during the conference that I will get to later on that point to the fact that the United States is pro-Bitcoin and weâre going to be the world leader in it. Senator Marsha Blackburn also added to this, stating, âMany of our allies follow what we do. If we lead, others will follow. This is vital to our economic future.âÂ

2025-06-07 14:41:21The Lightning Network is a revolutionary layer-2 solution built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain, designed to enhance transaction speed, reduce costs, and improve scalability. By integrating with Bitcoin wallets, the Lightning Network significantly improves user experience, making Bitcoin more practical for everyday payments. Hereâs how it benefits both wallets and users.
A.Faster Transactions - Traditional Bitcoin transactions can take 10 minutes or more to confirm, especially during network congestion.
- The Lightning Network enables near-instant transactions (often under a second), making Bitcoin wallets ideal for real-time payments like buying coffee or tipping content creators .B.Lower Fees - On-chain Bitcoin transactions can have high fees during peak times, sometimes exceeding $50.
- Lightning Network transactions cost a fraction of a cent, making micropayments (even as small as a few satoshis) economically viable .C.Enhanced Scalability - Bitcoinâs base layer processes only 7 transactions per second (TPS),limiting its use for mass adoption.
- The Lightning Network can theoretically handle millions of TPS,allowing wallets to support high-volume transactions without clogging the blockchain .D. Improved Privacy - On-chain Bitcoin transactions are publicly recorded, exposing user activity.
- Lightning transactions occur off-chain, reducing visibility and enhancing privacy for wallet users .E. Better User Experience - Lightning-integrated wallets (e.g., Phoenix, Wallet of Satoshi, BlueWallet) automate complex processes like channel management, making it easy for beginners to send/receive Bitcoin instantly .
- Features like Lightning Addresses(e.g.,user@wallet.com
) simplify payments, replacing long blockchain addresses .F. New Use Cases - Enables micropayments for streaming services, pay-per-minute content, and gaming.
- Supports cross-border remittances with minimal fees, benefiting unbanked populations .Therefore By integrating the Lightning Network, Bitcoin wallets become faster, cheaper, and more scalable, unlocking Bitcoinâs potential as a global payment system. Whether for daily spending or innovative financial applications, the Lightning Network is transforming how users interact with Bitcoin wallets.

2025-06-09 09:26:59Introduction: The Forked Path of Individualism
This essay seeks to restore the clarity of a forgotten truth: that freedom, if not earned and exercised responsibly, decays into license and collapse. The West has confused liberty with indulgence and rights with entitlements. By retracing the origins of responsible individualism and contrasting it with its parasitic inversion, we uncover a path forward, rooted not in nostalgia, but in natural law, reciprocity, and the moral architecture of sovereignty.
In the modern West, the term "individualism" evokes both the highest praise and the sharpest criticism. It is lionized as the source of innovation, liberty, and self-actualization, yet equally blamed for atomization, narcissism, and social decay. What explains this bifurcation? The answer lies not in individualism per se, but in the nature of its constraints.
This essay contrasts two forms of individualism: responsible and irresponsible. It shows how the West, unique among civilizations, successfully cultivated the former through hard-won institutional constraints and moral evolution. It then traces the tragic inversion: how responsible individualism has been supplanted by its parasitic cousin under the guise of progress and liberation. Finally, it offers an ancestral remedy: the return to reciprocal law, truthful speech, and the earned sovereignty of the free Frank.
Part I: Defining the Types â Responsible vs. Irresponsible Individualism
Responsible individualism is operationally defined as agency exercised under reciprocal constraints. Agency, in this context, refers to the capacity to make choices and act upon them in a manner that bears full responsibility for consequences. It implies sovereignty of will, discretion over one's actions, and ownership of resulting outcomes. The individual acts only insofar as others are not involuntarily burdened. This form of individualism is:
-
Sovereign â The individual bears the full cost of his actions.
-
Reciprocal â Actions respect the interests of others.
-
Accountable â Speech and conduct are testifiable and liable.
By contrast, irresponsible individualism refers to preference pursuit without cost-bearing. It manifests as:
-
Parasitism â Costs are externalized to others or the commons.
-
Immunity-seeking â Claims to exception via victimhood or identity.
-
Rent-seeking â Consumption without contribution.
In short, responsible individualism is productive because it results in the creation, preservation, and transmission of value, material, institutional, and moral. It aligns personal gain with the benefit of the voluntary and inherited collectives to which the individual belongs, his tribe, his family, his people. These are the groups whose norms he internalizes, whose resources he helps maintain, and whose futures he advances by acting within reciprocal constraints. Responsible individualism thus converts personal action into collective uplift. It turns private agency into public capital, not in service of abstract humanity, but of one's concrete cooperative domain.
Irresponsible individualism, on the other hand, is consumptive: it exploits the existing capital of civilization, its laws, norms, institutions, and resources, without contributing to their maintenance or replenishment. It treats liberty as an entitlement rather than an obligation. This form of individualism becomes parasitic when it shifts the burden of its actions onto others, using rights and identities as cover for extraction without restitution. Parasitism here is not just economic but moral and institutional, draining the trust, cohesion, and constraint that make civilization computable.
Part II: Western Civilization and the Invention of Responsible Individualism
Western civilization is not individualistic by origin. Like all civilizations, it evolved from tribal, familial, and clan-based modes of cooperation. Its uniqueness lies in how it scaled responsibility from kin to stranger.
This was achieved through five convergent developments:
-
Common Law Tradition: Law evolved as dispute resolution through testimony and restitution. It forced even elites to act within rules of reciprocity.
-
Christian Moral Reform: The internalization of guilt and conscience sacralized personal moral restraint, transforming honor into integrity.
-
The Nuclear Family: Unlike extended clan structures in the East, the European nuclear family forced individuals into self-responsibility early and consistently.
-
Tripartite Order: The coordination of warrior, priest, and producer classes created distributed accountability and resistance to central parasitism.
-
Militia-Based Sovereignty: Rights were earned through duties, defense, production, law-keeping. This made liberty a reciprocal good, not a license.
These institutions allowed Westerners to develop a culture where the individual could speak and act independently, but only because they were bound by reciprocal duty. This distinction is critical: liberty earned through contribution is fundamentally different from liberty granted as a license.
A license is a permission given by authority, revocable, conditional, and contingent on favor or compliance. It is not sovereignty, but subsidy. By contrast, liberty that is earned through demonstrated responsibility, defense, production, law-keeping, cannot be justly revoked, because it is not granted by others, but secured by one's own fulfillment of duty. This is the foundation of true freedom: not privilege dispensed from above, but sovereignty preserved from within.
Part III: The Frankish Example â Frankness as Earned Speech
A particularly illustrative case is that of the Franks, the warrior elite from whom the term "frankness" derives.
To be "frank" originally meant to speak freely and truthfully as a mark of status. It was a signal of oneâs right to participate in law-making and war-leading. Frankness was not mere candor, it was testimony under risk.
The Franks were:
-
Land-holders who paid scutage or served in arms.
-
Oath-bound to speak and act under honor.
-
Participants in the governance of law by right of demonstrated contribution.
Frankness thus operationalizes truthful speech as a function of sovereignty. It was not an abstract right, but a duty inseparable from one's demonstrated contribution to the defense and governance of the commons.
The Franks did not conceive of speech as a divine or universal right, but as a responsibility: once you had earned the right to speak freely through your acts of service, you were then obligated to speak truthfully in matters of consequence. Silence, when truth was necessary, was a failure of duty; lying was a violation of oath.
This stands in stark contrast to modern Western norms, where free speech is treated as a birthright, permissive, consequence-free, and decoupled from responsibility. In that framework, one may lie without liability and remain silent when duty calls to speak. What passes today for freedom of speech more closely resembles a slaveâs license, contingent, revocable, and devoid of sovereign obligation, than the honorable burden borne by the free Frank.
Part IV: The Decline â From Frankness to Fecklessness
The collapse of responsible individualism unfolded in a temporal sequence, each stage overlapping with and accelerating the next:
The decline from responsible to irresponsible individualism was not a singular event, but a cascade, each step weakening the constraints necessary for computability, cooperation, and sovereignty:
-
Universalist Expansion (âŒ1789â1965) Enfranchisement was extended without reciprocal obligations. Institutions optimized for inclusion rather than contribution. Sparked by the French Revolution and its ideology of universal rights, continued through 19th-century liberal expansions, and culminating in 20th-century civil rights and immigration reforms. The abstraction of "rights" was universalized beyond the context of reciprocal contribution, dissolving inherited distinctions between earned and unearned status.
-
Moral Feminization (âŒ1850âPresent) Harm avoidance replaced harm accounting. Empathy was scaled to levels where it disabled justice and merit. Emerging with industrial-era safety nets and Victorian reformism, this trend accelerated post-WWII through the rise of the welfare state and therapeutic moral culture. It prioritized emotional sensitivity over empirical responsibility, rewarding weakness rather than merit.
-
Institutional Capture (âŒ1917â1970s) The academy, law, and media were overtaken by narratives divorced from testimonial truth. Authority became a matter of emotional alignment, not factual constraint. Beginning with Marxist infiltration of Western academia via the Frankfurt School after WWI, this culminated in the 1960s cultural revolution. Institutions ceased producing truth under adversarial testing and instead became platforms for moral-political programming.
-
The Industrialization of Lying (âŒ1930sâPresent) Abrahamic, Marxist, and Postmodern grammars enabled parasitic claims masked as moral causes. Speech became license for grievance rather than constraint for truth. Propaganda techniques pioneered in the 1930s, honed through wartime psyops and Cold War ideology, were institutionalized through media and education. Claims no longer needed to be testable, only persuasive to a captured audience.
-
Inversion of Rights and Duties (âŒ1965âPresent) The right to speak, consume, or demand was detached from the duty to bear cost or provide restitution. Cemented by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Great Society programs, and ongoing anti-discrimination law, this inversion redefined justice as equality of outcome and morality as protection from discomfort. Duties of production, defense, or speech accountability were rendered subordinate to rights of comfort and recognition.
In sum, liberty was decoupled from duty. Truth was severed from liability. And status was redefined from merit to victimhood.
Part V: Signals of Civilizational Decline
Having traced the sequence of institutional and moral decline in Part IV, we now examine its symptoms, observable dysfunctions that precede collapse. These signals are not just cultural anomalies; they are early warnings of civilizational incomputability.
A civilization based on irresponsible individualism exhibits predictable pathologies:
-
Loss of Trust â Truth becomes undecidable. Shared standards of verification break down, and public discourse devolves into factional propaganda.
-
Decline of Institutions â Law, market, and commons are gamed. Institutions no longer reward merit or punish fraud but function as arenas for redistribution.
-
Moral Hazard â Incentives reward dependency and deceit. Systems that once encouraged responsibility now subsidize failure and punish prudence.
-
Civic Decay â Participation is replaced by consumption. Citizens become clients of the state rather than stewards of the polity.
-
Territorial Abdication â Borders are no longer defended; sovereignty dissolves. The demos ceases to control who enters, remains, or influences policy.
-
Neglect of the Physical Commons â Infrastructure, environment, and public safety degrade as responsibility is displaced by abstraction and bureaucracy.
-
Reproductive Collapse â The intergenerational contract is broken. Families dissolve, fertility drops, and future capital is consumed rather than cultivated.
-
Cultural Fragmentation â With no shared norms or metaphysical grammar, symbolic and moral cohesion vanishes, rendering governance and trust unsustainable.
This is not conjecture,it is observable, measurable, and directional. The data shows downward trends in trust, fertility, productivity, and institutional cohesion. The West is in civilizational crisis not for lack of liberty, but for lack of reciprocal constraint, and the longer this goes uncorrected, the more severe the corrective must be.
Part VI: Collapse and the Return of Authority
Once these signals manifest across multiple domains, the collapse phase becomes inevitable. Systems designed for high-trust cooperation and reciprocal norms become nonfunctional, leading to demands for coercive realignment. This section traces that causal arc from dysfunction to authoritarian correction.
The decoupling of freedoms from responsibilities leads to collapse, not as an anomaly, but as a civilizational law. When constraints are lifted and liabilities evaded, trust erodes, norms fragment, and coordination fails. As systems become incomputable, the population instinctively demands the restoration of order. This demand inevitably produces authoritarianism, because no voluntary consensus remains to realign incentives.
But not all authoritarianisms are the same. There are two emergent outcomes:
-
Repressive, Parasitic Authoritarianism â Rule by extraction. Power consolidates through coercion to preserve elite rent and suppress dissent. It maintains order through fear, but offers no reciprocal return.
-
Restorative, Lawful Authoritarianism â Rule by constraint. It reimposes natural law, enforces reciprocity, and punishes parasitism. It restores computability and productivity, not through ideology, but through institutional repair.
The difference is not in the presence of authority, but in what is being enforced. Parasitic regimes enforce submission; lawful regimes enforce reciprocity.
Part VII: How to Choose the Future
The public does not get to choose these regimes at the moment of crisis, they arise from prior organization. Just as collapse is a consequence of neglected responsibility, restoration is the reward of disciplined preparation. The only way to secure the lawful version is to preemptively organize those capable of high-agency leadership.
That means that those who behave frankishly, who demonstrate responsibility in speech and deed, must gather the capital necessary to act:
-
Financial Capital â To fund institutions and operations.
-
Social Capital â To unify families, tribes, and localities.
-
Political Capital â To influence policy and hold officials accountable.
-
Intellectual Capital â To wage the epistemic war: to produce truth against ideology.
-
Spiritual Capital â To restore meaning, duty, and the will to persist.
-
Martial Capital â To deter violence and suppress subversion by demonstrating readiness.
This coalition of power is how we organize our civilizational self-defense. And it is the only path by which the West can avoid replacing our drift in distruction with tyranny.
Part VIII: The Failure of Western Constitutionalism and the Case for Responsibilities
Why Rights Invite Tyranny, and Responsibilities Forbid It
This distinction between rights and responsibilities is not merely linguistic, it is structural, and civilizationally decisive. A right compels provision; it necessitates an enforcing authority to guarantee its existence and application. In modern democracies, this authority is the state. Thus, every new right inherently expands the jurisdiction of the state. Each right, whether to speech, healthcare, or safety, becomes a justification for bureaucratic control and moral overreach.
By contrast, a responsibility does not require provision; it only requires non-interference. It demands that the state abstain from obstructing the sovereign execution of personal obligation. Where rights invite action by the state, responsibilities forbid it. Where rights ask government to provide, regulate, or intervene, responsibilities insist that it stay out.
This is not a speculative risk. When we frame liberty as a right, we shift burden onto a centralized authority to preserve it. But that same authority, now justified as protector, becomes the arbiter, the regulator, and eventually, the master. By seeking safety through entitlement, we stick our neck on the block and ask Leviathan to protect it. That protection is always temporary, always conditional, and always a precursor to dependency.
In this light, rights produce corruption and invite tyranny, not out of malice, but by design. They shift sovereignty upward. Responsibilities, on the other hand, preserve local autonomy, civic virtue, and distributed constraint. They pull sovereignty downward, back into the hands of the competent, the courageous, and the reciprocal.
Let us now return to the principle: rights centralize power. Responsibilities decentralize it. Rights call for governance. Responsibilities prohibit it. That is the innovation. That is the path forward.
The crisis of the West cannot be corrected through reaffirmation of its existing constitutional forms. The concept of a Constitution or Bill of Rights focused on the rights of the people has failed to preserve liberty, sovereignty, or computability. We observe this most clearly in the United States, where the Bill of Rights was intended to secure individual freedom, but in practice became a shield for irresponsibility.
A right is a passive permission, it allows, but does not obligate. A responsibility is active, it commands and constrains. Civilizations built on rights without responsibilities invariably decay because they permit license without obligation, preference without cost.
What is needed is not a Bill of Rights, but a Bill of Responsibilities. One in which the government is prohibited from interfering in our execution of sovereign obligations to family, tribe, and commons. These responsibilities are not optional; they are the foundation of computability, trust, and sovereignty. And interference with them by the state, whether through taxation, regulation, or censorship, is a breach of natural law.
Example: Free Speech
-
Current Framing (Right-Based): "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech."
-
Reformulated as a Responsibility: "No authority shall obstruct a manâs obligation to speak the truth in matters of public consequence, nor prevent his duty to testify against harm, fraud, or parasitism."
The right to free speech allows one to speak, or not, truthfully or deceitfully. The responsibility to speak truth imposes obligation, not option. It ties speech to liability, testifiability, and public consequence.
Framing constitutional protections in terms of responsibilities not only elevates the moral expectation, it restores the computability of society: speech regains its function as coordination, not merely expression.
The superiority of the responsibility frame lies in its civilizational effect:
-
It raises the bar for speech to truthful testimony.
-
It criminalizes falsehoods with consequence.
-
It protects public trust, not just private desire.
-
It preserves the computability of law and commons.
A civilization that preserves the freedom to do wrong without obligation to do right will not survive. A civilization that enforces responsibility first, and restricts interference in that responsibility, will.
Example: Right to Bear Arms
-
Current Framing (Right-Based): "The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."
-
Reformulated as a Responsibility: "No authority shall obstruct a citizenâs duty to defend his life, family, and polity, nor prevent his obligation to possess and maintain proficiency in the means of that defense."
The right to bear arms can be exercised or neglected. It allows for arbitrary ownership based on preference, without regard for purpose, training, or civic consequence. As a right, it invites individual indulgence; as a responsibility, it imposes discipline, readiness, and public accountability.
The responsibility to defend transforms weapon ownership into a civic duty, an obligation tied to the preservation of life, family, polity, and territory. It demands both possession and proficiency. It prohibits the abdication of defense to the state alone, insisting instead on a distributed deterrence rooted in sovereignty. This framing enshrines defense as a duty inseparable from liberty itself. It elevates the bearer from consumer to citizen, from entitled subject to responsible sovereign.
Moreover, a populace trained, armed, and habituated to the duty of defense acts as a far greater deterrent to parasitic or overreaching governments than a disorganized mass of right-claiming individuals. When the martial virtues are retained through obligation, the people remain not only capable of physical resistance but also morally inclined to uphold law and order. This condition preserves the balance of power between citizen and state, forestalling tyranny not through rhetoric or litigation, but through distributed and ready force, anchored in civic virtue.
And if you want proof, just observe what has happened in modern-day America, where very few men exercise the responsibility to be part of the citizen militia. Most view firearms ownership as a hobby or a pastime. This abdication of civic duty demonstrates how rights without responsibilities deteriorate into indulgence, and ultimately leave a people unprepared to defend their sovereignty.
Example: Health Care
-
Common Framing (Entitlement-Based): "Everyone has a right to health care."

Reformulated as a Responsibility: "No authority shall obstruct an individualâs duty to manage, protect, and make autonomous decisions about their own health and body."
Framing health care as a right transforms others into obligated providers. It recasts the needs of one as the debts of another, dissolving personal agency into bureaucratic entitlements. In contrast, framing health as a responsibility affirms bodily sovereignty: it demands that each individual actively manage, protect, and make informed decisions about their own health, free from coercive or paternalistic interference by the state.
More importantly, a population that treats health as a personal and civic duty is not merely physically fitter, it is mentally and morally stronger. Health is a precondition for sovereignty. Sovereignty requires not only will and discipline but also the energy and clarity to act upon them. An unhealthy, obese, lethargic, or pharmaceutically dependent populace lacks the capacity, let alone the inclination, to assert or defend its agency. By contrast, a healthy citizenry has the vigor to remain alert, engaged, and sovereign. Responsibility for one's health is therefore not a luxury but a civilizational necessity.
In each case, reframing turns passive entitlement into active obligation, and places limits on the stateâs ability to interfere with the individualâs execution of duty.
Conclusion: The Westâs Return Path Lies Through the Frankâs Gate
The future of the West hinges not on the expansion of liberty, but on the contraction of irresponsibility. To speak freely, one must be frank. To be frank, one must be sovereign. To be sovereign, one must be responsible. And to be responsible, one must live within a culture of duties, not merely permissions.
Frankness was not a rhetorical flourish, it was a civilization-constructing constraint. It bound speech to honor, liberty to duty, and agency to law. And it made possible the miracle of Western civilization. But even duty is only a middle stage.
A society governed by rights descends into license; one governed by responsibilities stabilizes. But only a society governed by reverence can ascend. Reverence is not just discipline or duty, but devotion: the willing alignment of personal action with the highest ideals, truth, beauty, excellence, kin, and the sacred. It is not imposed from above but emerges from below, once duty becomes habit, and habit becomes ethos.
Responsible individualism, and the duty that enables it, is the foundation. But the telos is not merely stability, it is transformation: the elevation of man through the beauty of reciprocity into reverence. Irresponsible individualism isolates and disintegrates. Responsible individualism unites and prepares. And reverent individualism transcends.
If we are to restore what was lost and build anew, we must re-bind speech to truth, liberty to duty, individualism to reciprocity, and reciprocation to reverence. Only then can we escape the feckless drift of modernity and reclaim the honorable clarity of the frank.
Truth is enough.\ Reciprocity is law.\ And liberty is earned.

2025-06-09 08:36:32One remarkable thing the Wim Hof Method stirs in me is that I increasingly feel the desire to connect with pure nature. Now, what does that mean?
You may know that slight feeling of eeriness when looking at deep moving waters or that tiny insecurity when darkness creeps up around you alone among the trees? You are sure there's nothing to worry about. But still, these little old conditioned anxieties, these unreasonable mind scenarios, they keep coming up and make you seek safety.
They are different for everyone, but these anxieties in the foreground are a sign for inner blockages that deprive us from expressing our power and creativity. What's more, they separate us from nature. They suggest, everything around us is potentially dangerous. Is it though?
When practicing the Wim Hof Method, and especially right after the breathing exercises, I can immediately feel a clarity emerging, a stronger awareness of presence in the moment. Anxieties are caringly pushed back to their rightful place, but do not control my actions and no longer dominate my state of being.
And so suddenly, the world view shifts. Eerie deep moving waters become fascinating, the darkness around reveals the beauty of trees casting soft moonlight shadows. I deeply appreciate what is, I want to touch the waters, I want to merge with the shadows, I feel that power. Instead of running away I want to connect with nature. I'm more aware of the present and should danger reveal itself, I have the confidence that I can properly react when it arises. But until then, I can enjoy beauty and connectedness. The powerful shift is from scenarios about potential threats around me to curiosity and beautiful opportunity everywhere.
There are countless great techniques and traditions that guide us to such shifts. But with regular practice, I find the Wim Hof Method to be particularly simple, accessible and effective.

2025-06-09 08:32:13If you've been active on Nostr, you've probably realized that your posts come and go like waves. Thereâs no content-surfacing algorithm to keep them afloat. So, unless someone happens to scroll past at just the right time, your insights, event announcements, or deep reflections are getting swept away. There's no pretty profile page that refers to your content.
Thatâs where Npub.pro comes inâand itâs what I used to build my first website as a transformative coach and Wim Hof method instructor.
This article is about how Npub.pro works, my experience with it, and why it may be useful to you, too.
What is Npub.pro?
Npub.pro is a web service that pulls your posts from the Nostr protocol and weaves them into a clean, customizable website. It uses open-source templates from Ghost, making it easy to create a beautiful, functional landing page without needing to write any code.
If you're already posting on Nostr, Npub.pro turns that content into something lasting and visually appealingâlike a curated blog or even a first landing page.
Why I Chose Npub.pro for My Initial Business Website
My work centers on personal transformation for leading a sovereign lifeâemotional, mental, and physical. I lead workshops, retreats and 1:1 sessions, and I needed a quick and simple place online that would communicate who I am, what I offer, and whatâs coming up next.
Since I already post regularly on Nostr, it made sense to reuse that content to portray my work. But instead of letting my posts drift away in the feed, Npub.pro gave me a way to give them structure and longevity for a wider audience.
Plus, it really looks good.
Features That Make It Worthwhile
Easy Website Creation
You donât need to become technical. The Npub.pro dashboard is simple and intuitive. Just pick a template, connect your Nostr keys, add your posts individually or based on hashtags, and voilĂ âyour content starts showing up. You can experiment with different templates freely, without messing things up.
Multiple Templates for Different Needs
There's a good amount of templates to choose from, for photo blogging, journaling or podcasting etc. I started with "Liebling," switched to "Micro-Ruby" for a bit, and finally settled on "Massively"âit shows my often picture-based posts clearly and lets me feature a highlighted post at the top.
Tag-Based Categories
You can organize your content into sections like I did with âAbout & Events,â âWim Hof Method,â or âNatural Living.â If you tag your Nostr posts accordingly and set up your categories in your dashboard, theyâll just fall into place.
Free Hosting + Custom Domains
Npub.pro is completely free if youâre okay with a domain like yourname.npub.pro. If you want something more professional, you can link a custom domain. I got mine for about $10/year from Namecheap. For now, even custom domains are free to connect. If you host your media on Nostr with e.g. Primal or Nostr.Build (subscription-based), and get a custom domain name, you have a complete low-budget website up and running.
What to Watch Out For
Npub.pro is not perfect and still evolving. Here are some limitations to keep in mind:
No Native Lead Capture or Email Signup
If you for example want to offer a PDF or free online class in exchange for email addresses, youâll need to get creative with external links. Unfortunately, thereâs no built-in call-to-action feature for non-Nostr users at this point.
No Pay-walled Content or Membership Features
If youâre looking to monetize content or offer member-only areas, you can hope and ask the Npub.pro team for future features, but it isn't there right now.
Some Trial & Error Required
Tagging needs to be done when you post. Adding tags retroactively with versatile clients like Amethyst wonât make earlier posts appear on your website. I had to republish a few old posts just to get them sorted into the right category. Expect a few hiccups, but itâs manageable.
Npub.pro and Nostr
Npub.pro is part of a bigger pictureâthe rise of Nostr as a decentralized social network. Itâs censorship-resistant, Bitcoin-integrated, and potentially an all-in-one protocol for media, messaging, publishing, and payment. That's crazy powerful when you think about it a little more!
Right now, the infrastructure is still getting there. Not everything works reliably yet, and complex and visually rich experiences like Instagram-style clients (e.g. Olas) still fall short. But Npub.pro is one of those services that shows where it can be heading: toward digital sovereignty.
Is Npub.pro for You?
If youâre already active on Nostr, I think this is a no-brainer. You can turn your feed into a curated blog or landing page with very little extra effort.
Even if you're not using Nostr yet, Npub.pro is still worth exploring if:
- You want a free or low-budget minimal website thatâs connected to your social media content.
- You care about decentralization and owning your data.
- Youâre okay with less customization and a little experimentation here and there while things improve.
So in short, Npub.pro is quite the smart, and simple way to publish your presence onlineâespecially if you want your Nostr content to live beyond the scroll.
Final Thoughts
I was surprised how good everything looked in the end on desktop, tablet and mobile and how easily you can manage your content. Itâs not perfect for all needs, but it does the job remarkably well for a first website, personal blog or landing page. And by using Npub.pro, youâre helping build the future of open, user-owned publishing online.

2025-06-09 01:41:45a delicious meditation
Those of you who know me are aware that I worked in the fast-food industry before becoming a chiropractor. My first job was at a Hardee's restaurant when I was fifteen.
I wanted to buy a car, which is why I started working. Once I bought the car, I realized I needed to continue working to maintain it, pay for gas, insurance, and the occasional "going out" money.
In the restaurant business, if you work at a place long enough, someone hands you a set of keys and puts you in charge of something.
So here I was, running a restaurant and in charge of a bunch of people, when I could barely take care of myself. Anyway, I was making what I thought was decent money for a 19-year-old.
My bosses started a new restaurant venture, and little by little, they began poaching the old management staff from Hardeeâs. Eventually, they asked me to come work for them.
My new job was running a Church's Chicken. The stores were small, mostly takeout. The menu was small, and we didn't have many employees to manage. We didn't have a good reputation in the community due to poor management.
The owners introduced new registers, and sales immediately jumped. I suppose all the food was now being rung up and accounted for!
We cleaned up the restaurant and made sure we were putting out a good product, and guess what?
Sales doubled.
So here I am, thinking I know what I'm doing because I'm getting recognition from my bosses.
I didn't have the interpersonal skills to manage people effectively.
One time, I got into it with an employee but couldn't confront him to fire him, so I deleted him from the time clock. Let someone else deal with that.
Dealing with customers was usually okay because if they had an issue, you could just fix the problem, and that was it. Handling employees was a bit more challenging for me.
On busy days-Fridays, Saturdays, and Mother's Day (they called that the day after the welfare checks came out)
The restaurant would get so busy that sometimes people would line up around the building, and I felt that everyone was staring at me, which made me feel uncomfortable.
The store had windows all around; it was like a fishbowl-everyone saw everything.
I could have gone to hide in the office, but I needed to help out. I liked to run a tight ship labor-wise, so I always counted myself as one of the staff needed.
I would ask the cook to let me make the chicken and assign them some other tasks.
Even though I was probably even more visible than before, I would get lost in the work.
Everything was hand-breaded and battered. To me, it was like a Japanese tea ceremony.
When it was busy, we cooked a full "stove," which was 4 chickens at a time:
8 legs, 8 thighs, 8 wings, and 8 breasts.
The process was:
-
Flour, dip in batter, flour again.
-
Start with the legs because they take the longest to cook.
-
Continue until everything is in the fryer.
Repeat,
and repeat,
and repeat.
I would get lost in the work. You couldn't really rush things. I made sure everything was done by the book.
Focusing on one task so intently that every concern, every worry just faded away. I knew people were watching me cook the chicken in this fishbowl, but I was so engrossed in my task that I didnât care.
All my stress and anxiety just faded.
I still try to lose myself in my work, only now itâs not frying chicken-itâs adjusting spines.
Now that I think about it, same situation. Iâm âon stageâ in my adjusting space with clients sitting in the waiting area.
Sometimes, I get stressed when there are a lot of people waiting on meâŠbut Iâm gonna do my best work frying this chiâŠ
oops!
I mean adjusting this spine.
Zen teaching often emphasizes simplicity, mindfulness in daily activities, and the notion that enlightenment can be achieved in the ordinary moments of life. The phrase "chop wood, carry water" reflects this idea of finding the sacred in the mundane.
I found my Zen.
Find Yours.

2025-06-09 01:37:31Shopping for groceries is one of my least favorite tasks. However, it's got to be done.
If I am in a hurry, I like to shop at Aldi, not only because they have decent prices but also because I can get in and out quickly (and I donât have to scan my own groceries).
They are definitely no-frills in many ways: You have to bag your own groceries, you should bring your own bagsâotherwise, you have to buy them, and to get a shopping cart, you need a quarter to unlock it.
I'm trying to rush and be efficient when I realize I donât have "the quarter" for the shopping cart!
Dammit!
Iâm going to have to go back to the car to see if I have one.
I'm swearing under my breath, thinking about having to walk all the way back whenâŠ
I notice someone has placed a quarter on the wall next to the row of carts.
THANK YOU!
This little act of kindness took me from a state of "being mildly annoyed at the entire world because traffic didnât clear a path in front of me trying to get here" to feeling great gratitude.
The fact that someone considered that doing this would make my life easier knocked my selfish, self-involved ass out of my body.
I finished my shopping in a more cheerful, mindful way. The people in the aisles didn't seem to annoy me as much.
I took way longer than usual.
It wasn't a race anymore.
I checked out, loaded the car, and when I went to return the cartâ
I left a quarter.

2025-06-07 14:01:22Contribute to keep No Bullshit Bitcoin news going.
- The latest firmware updates for COLDCARD devices introduce two major features: COLDCARD Co-sign (CCC) and Key Teleport between two COLDCARD Q devices using QR codes and/or NFC with a website.
What's new
- COLDCARD Co-Sign: When CCC is enabled, a second seed called the Spending Policy Key (Key C) is added to the device. This seed works with the device's Main Seed and one or more additional XPUBs (Backup Keys) to form 2-of-N multisig wallets.
- The spending policy functions like a hardware security module (HSM), enforcing rules such as magnitude and velocity limits, address whitelisting, and 2FA authentication to protect funds while maintaining flexibility and control, and is enforced each time the Spending Policy Key is used for signing.
- When spending conditions are met, the COLDCARD signs the partially signed bitcoin transaction (PSBT) with the Main Seed and Spending Policy Key for fund access. Once configured, the Spending Policy Key is required to view or change the policy, and violations are denied without explanation.
"You can override the spending policy at any time by signing with either a Backup Key and the Main Seed or two Backup Keys, depending on the number of keys (N) in the multisig."
-
A step-by-step guide for setting up CCC is available here.
-
Key Teleport for Q devices allows users to securely transfer sensitive data such as seed phrases (words, xprv), secure notes and passwords, and PSBTs for multisig. It uses QR codes or NFC, along with a helper website, to ensure reliable transmission, keeping your sensitive data protected throughout the process.
- For more technical details, see the protocol spec.
"After you sign a multisig PSBT, you have option to âKey Teleportâ the PSBT file to any one of the other signers in the wallet. We already have a shared pubkey with them, so the process is simple and does not require any action on their part in advance. Plus, starting in this firmware release, COLDCARD can finalize multisig transactions, so the last signer can publish the signed transaction via PushTX (NFC tap) to get it on the blockchain directly."
- Multisig transactions are finalized when sufficiently signed. It streamlines the use of PushTX with multisig wallets.
- Signing artifacts re-export to various media. Users are now provided with the capability to export signing products, like transactions or PSBTs, to alternative media rather than the original source. For example, if a PSBT is received through a QR code, it can be signed and saved onto an SD card if needed.
- Multisig export files are signed now. Public keys are encoded as P2PKH address for all multisg signature exports. Learn more about it here.
- NFC export usability upgrade: NFC keeps exporting until CANCEL/X is pressed.
- Added Bitcoin Safe option to Export Wallet.
- 10% performance improvement in USB upload speed for large files.
- Q: Always choose the biggest possible display size for QR.
Fixes
- Do not allow change Main PIN to same value already used as Trick PIN, even if Trick PIN is hidden.
- Fix stuck progress bar under
Receiving...
after a USB communications failure. - Showing derivation path in Address Explorer for root key (m) showed double slash (//).
- Can restore developer backup with custom password other than 12 words format.
- Virtual Disk auto mode ignores already signed PSBTs (with â-signedâ in file name).
- Virtual Disk auto mode stuck on âReadingâŠâ screen sometimes.
- Finalization of foreign inputs from partial signatures. Thanks Christian Uebber!
- Temporary seed from COLDCARD backup failed to load stored multisig wallets.
Destroy Seed
also removes all Trick PINs from SE2.Lock Down Seed
requires pressing confirm key (4) to execute.- Q only: Only BBQr is allowed to export Coldcard, Core, and pretty descriptor.

The Blockchain Group Accelerates Bitcoin Treasury Strategy with âŹ300M RaiseOn June 9, 2025, The Blockchain Group (Euronext: ALTBG) announced a âŹ300 million capital increase program in partnership with TOBAMâmarking one of the largest flexible funding facilities in the European public markets dedicated to scaling a Bitcoin treasury.
The raise is structured as an âATM-typeâ (At-The-Market) offering, allowing TOBAM to subscribe daily for ordinary shares at a price based on the higher of the previous dayâs closing price or volume-weighted average price (VWAP). Each tranche is capped at 21% of the dayâs trading volume. This provides a disciplined mechanism to increase capital over time without disrupting market dynamics.
TOBAM: A Strategic Long-Term Backer
TOBAM, a Paris-based asset manager, has been a strategic investor in The Blockchain Group since 2017. The firm was among the earliest institutional advocates of Bitcoin as a treasury asset and remains one of Europeâs most innovative capital allocators. This deepened partnership underscores shared conviction in Bitcoinâs long-term value and the importance of financial infrastructure built on hard money principles.
Through this program, TOBAM can allocate capital into ALTBG shares in a way that aligns with market liquidity, ensuring that treasury growth occurs sustainably and with pricing transparency.
What It Means for Bitcoin For Corporations
For BFC members and observers, this development reflects the growing global standardization of capital tools for Bitcoin-native companies. The ATM structureâcommonly used in U.S. equity marketsâhas now been adapted for European Bitcoin treasury growth. It offers several key advantages:
†Precision Timing: Capital can be deployed when conditions are favorable, avoiding the drawbacks of lump-sum raises.
†BTC Per Share Focus: The program is explicitly designed to increase the number of bitcoins per share on a fully diluted basisâaligning shareholder and treasury value.
†Strategic Flexibility: Instead of relying on traditional fundraising windows, The Blockchain Group now has continuous access to growth capital.A Treasury Engine, Not Just a Treasury
The Blockchain Group has been steadily transforming itself from a digital services company into a full-fledged Bitcoin Treasury Company. This âŹ300 million program turns that transformation into a capital engineâone that can convert equity into Bitcoin consistently, responsively, and with strategic intent.
It also strengthens Europeâs position in the emerging corporate Bitcoin ecosystem. While most Bitcoin Treasury Companies today are U.S.-based, The Blockchain Groupâs playbook offers a model for public firms across Euronext and other international exchanges.
The Blockchain Group isnât just holding Bitcoinâitâs designing infrastructure to accumulate it over time. With TOBAMâs backing and a flexible ATM program in place, Europeâs first Bitcoin Treasury Company is poised to scale BTC per share with precisionâone tranche at a time.

Strategy Buys $110 Million Worth of BitcoinStrategy has acquired an additional 1,045 Bitcoin for approximately $110.2 million, further cementing its position as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin as institutional adoption continues to accelerate in 2025.
According to an SEC filing on June 9, the company purchased the Bitcoin at an average price of $105,426 per coin last week, bringing its total holdings to 582,000 BTC. The acquisition was funded through Strategyâs at-the-market (ATM) sales of STRK and STRF preferred stocks.
BREAKING:
STRATEGY BUYS ANOTHER 1045 #BITCOIN FOR $110 MILLION pic.twitter.com/PUjgvEUg4B
â Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) June 9, 2025
With this latest purchase, Strategyâs average acquisition price across all its Bitcoin holdings has risen to $70,086 per coin. At current market prices of approximately $107,700, the companyâs total Bitcoin holdings are valued at $62.8 billion.
The purchase follows recent significant acquisitions by other major corporations, including GameStopâs $513 million purchase of 4,710 BTC and The Blockchain Groupâs âŹ60.2 million acquisition of 624 BTC.
The pace of corporate Bitcoin adoption has reached an unprecedented level, with over 100 public companies now holding Bitcoin worth more than $90 billion collectively.
Strategyâs continued accumulation has helped establish a model for corporate treasury diversification thatâs being rapidly adopted across industries.
Strategyâs reported BTC Yield, a key performance indicator measuring the year-to-date percentage change in Bitcoin holdings relative to diluted shares outstanding, now stands at 17.1% for 2025.
At press time, Bitcoin trades at $107,700, up 1.78% over the past 24 hours, as the market continues to process this latest institutional development and its implications for broader corporate adoption of Bitcoin as a treasury asset.

2025-06-09 08:00:20Nur fĂŒrâs Protokoll. Hiermit erklĂ€re ich, Georg Ohrweh, im tatsĂ€chlich vorhandenen vollen Besitz meiner geistigen KrĂ€fte, dass Herr Lauterbach, gleich welche Position er in Zukunft noch bekleiden sollte, fĂŒr mich nicht zustĂ€ndig ist. Basta.
Ein Erguss dieses verhaltensoriginellen Ăber-alles-Bescheidwissers:
âWir kommen jetzt in eine Phase hinein, wo der Ausnahmezustand die NormalitĂ€t sein wird. Wir werden ab jetzt immer im Ausnahmezustand sein. Der Klimawandel wird zwangslĂ€ufig mehr Pandemien bringen.â
Wie kann es sein, dass solch eine Ausnahme-Gestalt, die schon rein Ă€uĂerlich die Phantasie zu Vergleichen anregt, sich leider auch genauso verhĂ€lt, wie die Gestalten, die in diesen Phantasien vorkommen, ungebremst auf der Panik-Klaviatur kakophonische KlĂ€nge erzeugen darf? Obwohl ein wenig Wahrheit ist auch enthalten: Wir sind tatsĂ€chlich immer im Ausnahmezustand, im Ausnahmezustand des fortgeschrittenen Wahnsinns.
Wie kann es sein, dass dieser Haaaarvardist seinen persönlich empfundenen Ausnahmezustand zum Allgemeingut erklĂ€ren kann? Welche VerknĂŒpfungs-Phantasien hat er sonst noch studiert? Er ist ja auch noch Vorsitzender im Raumfahrtausschuss. Was kommt als NĂ€chstes? Eine Klima-Pandemie, verursacht durch auĂerirdische Viren, die die Temperaturen beeinflussen können? Im aktuellen Zeitgeist gibt es nichts, was nicht gedacht wird. Wem die besseren AbsurditĂ€ten einfallen, der gewinnt. Man muss sich schon den gegebenen Denkstrukturen etwas anpassen, aber sich auch ein wenig MĂŒhe geben.
Nach dem Wechsel der ehemaligen AuĂen-Dings zur UN (mit dem Ziel, aus den Vereinten Nationen die Feministischen Nationen zu gestalten) und des ehemaligen Wirtschafts-Dings in den AuĂenausschuss und als Gastdozent in Kalifornien (Thema: Wirtschaftsvernichtung unter Einbeziehung des gespannten VerhĂ€ltnisses unter Geschwistern aufgrund Ă€rmlicher VerhĂ€ltnisse, am Beispiel des MĂ€rchens von HĂ€nsel und Gretel) , jetzt auch noch der ehemalige Chef-Panikmacher zur WHO.
âŠund der Wahnsinn wurde hinausgetragen in die Welt, und es wurde dunkel, und es ward Nacht, und es wurde helle, und es ward Tag, der Wind blies oder auch nicht (was macht der Wind eigentlich, wenn er nicht weht?), und es ward Winter, und es wurde kĂ€lter, und es wurde wĂ€rmer, und es ward Sommer. Es regnete nicht mehr, die Wolken schwitzten. Und Putin verhinderte (wer auch sonst), dass das Eis in der Antarktis abnahm.
Wiederholte Bodentemperaturen in der Toskana von 50 Grad Celsius. Zu erwartende Wassertemperaturen wÀhrend Ferragosto an der italienischen Adria von durchschnittlich 100 Grad Celsius. An Stellen mit wenig Strömung stiegen schon die ersten Kochblasen auf. Doch dann kam der durch Lachs gestÀhlte, salzlose Super-Karl und rettete mit einem durch die WHO diktierten Klima-Logdown die gesamte Menschheit. Wer besser, als er konnte wissen, dass ein Klima-Logdown weitgehend nebenwirkungsfrei ist.
Was fĂŒr ein Segen, dass Karl der GroĂe, der uns so siegreich durch die Corona-Schlacht gefĂŒhrt hat, jetzt auch gegen das Klima in den Krieg zieht.
Wer kennt das nicht, Tage der Qual, in denen man zugeben muss: Ich habâ heute so schlimm Klima.
Viele Klimaexperten, die weltweit in der QualitÀtspropaganda zitiert werden, zeichnen sich besonders dadurch aus, dass sie mit einer maximalen Abweichung von einem Grad Celsius ein Thermometer fehlerfrei ablesen können. Diese Ungenauigkeit wird der Erdverkochungsexperte sicher als erstes beheben.
In einer aufopfernden Studie wĂ€hrend eines Urlaubs in 2023, in der um die damalige Zeit erstmals eisfreien Toskana, hat er den von ihm ausgetĂŒftelten Klimaschutzplan ins Rheinische ĂŒbersetzt. Titel: âSchĂŒtzen Sie sisch, und, Ă€h, andere!â Weiter konnte er erforschen, dass die Bodentemperatur nicht immer mit der Temperatur des Erdkerns ĂŒbereinstimmen muss.
Durch seine unermĂŒdlichen Studien, können Hitzetote in Zukunft besser zugeordnet werden. Man weiĂ dann, ob jemand an hohen oder mit hohen Temperaturen gestorben ist. Der asymptomatische Klimawandel kann so in Zukunft viel besser bewertet werden. Man hat aus geringfĂŒgigen Fehlern gelernt und die Methoden erheblich verbessert.
Eine prĂ€zise Vorhersage der Jahreszeiten, vor allem die des Sommers, wird bald ebenfalls möglich sein. Es kann jetzt vor jahreszeitbedingten, teilweise sogar tĂ€glich schwankenden TemperaturverĂ€nderungen rechtzeitig gewarnt werden. Im Herbst können Heizempfehlungen fĂŒr die ahnungslose Bevölkerung herausgegeben werden. Frieren war gestern, wissen wann es kalt wird, ist heute. Es wird an Farben geforscht, die noch roter sein sollen, als die, die jetzt in den Wetterkarten bei 21 Grad bereits verwendet werden.
Eine allgemeine Heizpflicht soll es europaweit zunÀchst nicht geben.
Weiter soll die Lichteinstrahlung der Sonne noch prÀziser bestimmt werden, damit den EuropÀern, in ErgÀnzung zur mitteleuropÀischen Sommerzeit, jetzt auch noch genau mitgeteilt werden kann, wann es Tag und wann es Nacht ist.
Das Hinausschauen aus dem Fenster, zum Beispiel, ob es schon dunkel drauĂen ist, erĂŒbrigt sich. Die Tageszeit, in ErgĂ€nzung zur herkömmlichen Uhrzeit, wird demnĂ€chst automatisch mit dem Klima-Pass ĂŒbermittelt werden. Zu Anfang natĂŒrlich erst einmal freiwillig.
Durch die persönliche ID können dann auch schnell und unkompliziert SonderprĂ€mien ĂŒberwiesen werden, sofern man sich klimakonform verhalten hat, damit man sich rechtzeitig vor Winterbeginn eine warme Jacke oder einen Mantel kaufen kann. Das Sparen von Bargeld auf eine bevorstehende gröĂere Anschaffung von Winterkleidung wird somit ĂŒberflĂŒssig.
Ob es am Ende nun um Hitze oder KĂ€lte geht, spielt eigentlich gar keine Rolle, denn wie wussten schon die Ahnen zu berichten: Was gut fĂŒr die KĂ€lte ist, ist auch gut fĂŒr die WĂ€rme.
Westliche MÀchte unternehmen immer wieder Versuche, eskalierend auf den Ukraine-Konflikt einzuwirken, damit man atombetriebene Heizpilze aufstellen kann, an denen sich die EuropÀer im Winter auch im Freien wÀrmen können.
Wie praktisch, dass man nicht nur Gesundheit und Klima, sondern auch Klima und Krieg miteinander verbinden kann. Alles so, oder so Àhnlich möglicherweise nachzulesen im genialen Hitzeschutzplan å la Lauterbach.
Besonders Deutschland braucht nicht nur lauterbachsche HitzeschutzrÀume, nein es braucht atomsichere Hitzeschutzbunker, so schlÀgt man gleich zwei Fliegen mit einer Klappe.
FĂŒr die, die es sich leisten können, hier ein Vorschlag. Der K2000:
FĂŒr die weniger gut Betuchten reicht auch ein kĂŒhles Kellerloch, das man idealerweise im Februar beziehen und nicht vor November wieder verlassen sollte, so die Empfehlung auch von fĂŒhrenden Klima-Forschern, die es ja wissen mĂŒssen. Von Dezember bis Januar empfiehlt sich ein Besuch auf den Bahamas, besonders dann, wenn man eine leichte ErkĂ€ltung verspĂŒrt.
Nur Verschwörungstheoretiker behaupten, dass die eigenartigen Anschlussverwendungen der Extrem-KapazitĂ€ten, zu denen Lauterbach ohne Zweifel dazugehört, wie dicke rote Pfeile wirken, die auf Institutionen und Organisationen zeigen, um die man unter allen UmstĂ€nden einen groĂen Bogen machen sollte, weil sie möglicherweise nichts Gutes im Schilde fĂŒhren. Minimal sollen sie angeblich Unsinn verbreiten, maximal sollen sie gehörigen Schaden anrichten.
Man muss sich nur ein paar Gedanken machen, schon kann man feststellen, wie alles mit allem zusammenhÀngt.

2025-06-09 01:31:29We were just talking today about first impressions when meeting people. Sometimes I get an instant âdislikeâ to someone upon meeting, even though they have never done or said anything bad to me. The older I get, the more I will usually go with my gut instincts and not engage the person any deeper if possible.
One of the reasons that was brought up is that people who are not congruent with their words, thoughts, and actions are usually the ones that âturn me offâ
You know these people, too. They are the ones with all the advice-yet their lives are in shambles, the âpreachyâ ones that have their closets full of skeletons.
Iâve been accused of ânot having a filterâ or âbeing too transparentâ at times⊠but not usually about my stance on things. Iâm not confrontationalâŠbut Iâm not above turning around and wailing away from someone I canât stomach.
Anyway, the purpose of this rambling post if to encourage you to drop the facade, if you have one-and be more yourself.
