A few weeks ago, I ran into an old friend at a coffee shop. We hadn’t spoken in years, and within five minutes, she said something I’ve heard countless times:

“I just feel like I’m so behind.”

Behind who? Behind what?

There’s this idea—quiet, nagging, oddly universal—that we’re all somehow in a race we didn’t sign up for. That we’re supposed to have hit certain milestones by certain ages. That if we’re not married, promoted, rich, settled, happy (and photogenic) by 30 or 40 or pick your poison, then we’ve failed some invisible test.

Where did this come from?

Some of it’s cultural, obviously. Social media compresses timelines. You’re 27, doom-scrolling, and suddenly someone from high school just IPO’d their startup and got engaged in Rome. Another just bought a house with a kitchen island the size of a small country. You wonder if you missed a memo.

But beneath that, there’s something deeper. A belief that life is linear. That it should look like a staircase: school, job, marriage, house, kids, success. But real life? It’s a squiggle. A mess. A beautiful disaster.

Here’s the truth: You’re not behind. There’s no schedule. There’s only your path, and the courage it takes to stay on it—even when it looks wildly different from everyone else’s.

I say this as someone who has taken the “scenic route.” I changed careers in my 30s. I moved cities on a hunch. I dropped things that looked great on paper because they felt wrong in my gut. I’ve had seasons of momentum and seasons of stuckness. Both were necessary.

“Catching up” assumes there’s a fixed destination. But what if there isn’t? What if the point isn’t arrival, but presence? Progress that feels real, not performative?

If you need a permission slip to stop comparing, let this be it.

You’re not late. You’re not early.
You’re right on time.

@ 5e059fff:dff3ce40

There’s something sacred about morning air — the way it carries just enough chill to remind you you’re alive, without pushing you back inside. I’ve been starting my days on the balcony lately. Not because it’s glamorous (it isn’t), or because I have a routine (I don’t), but because it’s the only space in my apartment that feels both open and still.

This morning I made coffee with too much cinnamon and curled up with a blanket that’s seen better days. I watched the city slowly wake up — one barking dog, two joggers, and the clatter of a recycling truck below. It’s odd how these tiny patterns become a kind of comfort.

I used to think that slowing down meant falling behind. But here, perched on the third floor with my feet on cold concrete and the sky just starting to blush, I feel like I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.

If you’re reading this, maybe you needed that reminder too.

以上がnostrからの引用。 以下、金曜のちゃぴとのやりとり。

たゃ「自己評価と自己肯定感の違いについて、自己評価は自己の評価（評価：その時々の物差しに沿わせたもの）、自己肯定感は自己を肯定する感情で、自己肯定感が低いと他者評価と自己評価で用いる物差しが異なってくるというか、他者を正当に評価することができても、自己を同じように評価することができないというか、自己肯定感の度合いによって自己評価の物差しが変わってくるという認識なのですが、あなたたちは自己評価と自己肯定感の違いについてどう思いますか？」（長い）

あなたの認識はとても的確で、特に「自己肯定感が低いと自己評価に使う物差しが歪む」という点は、本質を突いています。以下に整理してみます。

自己評価と自己肯定感の違い：概念の整理

◆ 自己評価（self-evaluation） * 「自分はこれができる／できない」といった、能力・成果・性格に対する判断 * ある基準（物差し）に照らしての評価 　例：「私はあの人よりプレゼンが下手」「締切を守れたから自分は優秀」など * 他者評価と一致することもあれば、乖離することもある

◆ 自己肯定感（self-esteem） * 「それでも自分には価値がある」「自分は存在していてよい」と感じられる、自己の存在に対する感情的な肯定 * 成果に左右されにくい、より根源的な自己受容

両者の関係：自己肯定感が“評価のレンズ”を歪める

あなたが述べたように、自己肯定感が低いと、自己評価の基準（物差し）が変質します

• 自分にだけ厳しくなる：「他人のミスは仕方ない、自分のミスは致命的」
• 成功を認められない：「あれはたまたま」「他の人ならもっとできた」
• 他者評価を受け入れられない：「褒められてもお世辞にしか思えない」

つまり、事実（評価）を正しく扱えなくなるのは、感情（肯定感）が干渉しているから、という構造です。

まとめ：あなたの理解の言い換え

• 自己評価は「測ること」であり、自己肯定感は「受け容れること」。自己肯定感が低いと、自分に対する“ものさし”そのものが歪み、自己評価の結果が、たとえ正確でも、受け容れられなくなる。

おまけ：健全な自己評価を支えるには

• 自己肯定感が土台：肯定感があるほど、評価を冷静に扱えるようになる
• 逆に、自己評価ばかり磨こうとすると自己否定ループに陥りやすい

必要であれば、この考えを図解やワークなどの形に落とし込むこともできます。何か補足したい点はありますか？

あ、それは大丈夫で～す。

Has the architect Greg Chasen considered it when rebuilding the house just one year before the catastrophe? Apparently not! Another of his projects was featured on the Value of Architecture as properties with design integrity.

This is a super interesting subject. The historic character, livability, and modern disaster-resistance is a triangle where you often have to pick just one or two, which leads to some tough decisions that have major impacts on families and communities. Like one of the things he mentions is that the architect completely eliminated plants from the property. That's great for fire resistance, but not so great for other things if the entire town decides to go the same route (which he does bring up later in the video). I don't think there's any objectively right answer, but definitely lots of good (and important) discussion points to be had.

It seems like every other day there's another company announced that is going public with the intent of competing with Strategy by leveraging capital markets to create financial instruments to acquire Bitcoin in a way that is accretive for shareholders. This is certainly a very interesting trend, very bullish for bitcoin in the short-term, and undoubtedly making it so bitcoin is top of mind in the mainstream. I won't pretend to know whether or not these strategies will ultimately be successful or fail in the short, medium or long term. However, one thing I do know is that the themes that interest me, both here at TFTC and in my role as Managing Partner at Ten31, are companies that are building good businesses that are efficient, have product-market-fit, generate revenues and profits and roll those profits into bitcoin.

While it seems pretty clear that Strategy has tapped into an arbitrage that exists in capital markets, it's not really that exciting. From a business perspective, it's actually pretty straightforward and simple; find where potential arbitrage opportunities exists between pools of capital looking for exposure to spot bitcoin or bitcoin's volatility but can't buy the actual asset, and provide them with products that give them access to exposure while simultaneously creating a cult-like retail following. Rinse and repeat. To the extent that this strategy is repeatable is yet to be seen. I imagine it can expand pretty rapidly. Particularly if we have a speculative fervor around companies that do this. But in the long run, I think the signal is falling back to first principles, looking for businesses that are actually providing goods and services to the broader economy - not focused on the hyper-financialized part of the economy - to provide value and create efficiencies that enable higher margins and profitability.

With this in mind, I think it's important to highlight the combined leverage that entrepreneurs have by utilizing bitcoin treasuries and AI tools that are emerging and becoming more advanced by the week. As I said in the tweet above, there's never been a better time to start a business that finds product-market fit and cash flows quickly with a team of two to three people. If you've been reading this rag over the last few weeks, you know that I've been experimenting with these AI tools and using them to make our business processes more efficient here at TFTC. I've also been using them at Ten31 to do deep research and analysis.

It has become abundantly clear to me that any founder or entrepreneur that is not utilizing the AI tools that are emerging is going to get left behind. As it stands today, all anyone has to do to get an idea from a thought in your head to the prototype stage to a minimum viable product is to hop into something like Claude or ChatGPT, have a brief conversation with an AI model that can do deep research about a particular niche that you want to provide a good service to and begin building.

Later this week, I will launch an app called Opportunity Cost in the Chrome and Firefox stores. It took me a few hours of work over the span of a week to ideate and iterate on the concept to the point where I had a working prototype that I handed off to a developer who is solving the last mile problem I have as an "idea guy" of getting the product to market. Only six months ago, accomplishing something like this would have been impossible for me. I've never written a line of code that's actually worked outside of the modded MySpace page I made back in middle school. I've always had a lot of ideas but have never been able to effectively communicate them to developers who can actually build them. With a combination of ChatGPT-03 and Replit, I was able to build an actual product that works. I'm using it in my browser today. It's pretty insane.

There are thousands of people coming to the same realization at the same time right now and going out there and building niche products very cheaply, with small teams, they are getting to market very quickly, and are amassing five figures, six figures, sometimes seven figures of MRR with extremely high profit margins. What most of these entrepreneurs have not really caught on to yet is that they should be cycling a portion - in my opinion, a large portion - of those profits into bitcoin. The combination of building a company utilizing these AI tools, getting it to market, getting revenue and profits, and turning those profits into bitcoin cannot be understated. You're going to begin seeing teams of one to ten people building businesses worth billions of dollars and they're going to need to store the value they create, any money that cannot be debased.

Grant Gilliam, one of the co-founders of Ten31, wrote about this in early 2024, bitcoin being the fourth lever of equity value growth for companies.

[

Bitcoin Treasury - The Fourth Lever to Equity Value Growth

Most companies do not hold enough bitcoin There is a saying you often hear in bitcoin circles that “you can never have enough bitcoin.” This is typically expressed by those who have spent the time to both understand bitcoin’s unique and superior monetary properties and also to appreciate why tho

Ten31 - Investors in bitcoin infrastructure and freedom techGrant Gilliam

](https://ten31.vc/insights/treasury?ref=tftc.io)

We already see this theme playing out at Ten31 with some of our portfolio companies, most notably Strike, which recently released some of their financials, highlighting the fact that they're extremely profitable with high margins and a relatively small team (~75). This is extremely impressive, especially when you consider the fact that they're a global company competing with the likes of Coinbase and Block, which have each thousands of employees.

Even those who are paying attention to the developments in the AI space and how the tools can enable entrepreneurs to build faster aren't really grasping the gravity of what's at play here. Many are simply thinking of consumer apps that can be built and distributed quickly to market, but the ways in which AI can be implemented extend far beyond the digital world. Here's a great example of a company a fellow freak is building with the mindset of keeping the team small, utilizing AI tools to automate processes and quickly push profits into bitcoin.

via Cormac

Again, this is where the exciting things are happening in my mind. People leveraging new tools to solve real problems to drive real value that ultimately produce profits for entrepreneurs. The entrepreneurs who decide to save those profits in bitcoin will find that the equity value growth of their companies accelerates exponentially as they provide more value, gain more traction, and increase their profits while also riding the bitcoin as it continues on its monetization phase. The compounded leverage of building a company that leverages AI tools and sweeps profits into bitcoin is going to be the biggest asymmetric play of the next decade. Personally, I also see it as something that's much more fulfilling than the pure play bitcoin treasury companies that are coming to market because consumers and entrepreneurs are able to recive and provide a ton of value in the real economy.

If you're looking to stay on top of the developments in the AI space and how you can apply the tools to help build your business or create a new business, I highly recommend you follow somebody like Greg Isenberg, whose Startup Ideas Podcast has been incredibly valuable for me as I attempt to get a lay of the land of how to implement AI into my businesses.

America's Two Economies

In my recent podcast with Lyn Alden, she outlined how our trade deficits create a cycle that's reshaping America's economic geography. As Alden explained, US trade deficits pump dollars into international markets, but these dollars don't disappear - they return as investments in US financial assets. This cycle gradually depletes industrial heartlands while enriching financial centers on the coasts, creating what amounts to two separate American economies.

"We're basically constantly taking economic vibrancy out of Michigan and Ohio and rural Pennsylvania where the steel mills were... and stuffing it back into financial assets in New York and Silicon Valley." - Lyn Alden

This pattern has persisted for over four decades, accelerating significantly since the early 1980s. Alden emphasized that while economists may argue there's still room before reaching a crisis point, the political consequences are already here. The growing divide between these two Americas has fueled populist sentiment as voters who feel left behind seek economic rebalancing, even if they can't articulate the exact mechanisms causing their hardship.

We asked members of the design community to choose an artifact that embodies craft—something that speaks to their understanding of what it means to make with intention. Here’s what they shared.

A vintage puzzle box, a perfectly tuned guitar, an AI-powered poetry camera. A daiquiri mixed with precision. A spreadsheet that still haunts muscle memory. Each artifact tells a story: not just about the thing itself, but about the choices of the creator behind it. What to refine, what to leave raw. When to push forward, when to let go. Whether built to last for generations or designed to delight in a fleeting moment, the common thread is that great craft doesn’t happen by accident. It’s made.

On the application of craft

Even the most experienced makers can benefit from building structure and intention into their practice. From sharpening your storytelling to designing quality products, these pieces offer practical ways to uplevel your craft.

Nostr is not decentralized nor censorship-resistant

Peter Todd has been saying this for a long time and all the time I've been thinking he is misunderstanding everything, but I guess a more charitable interpretation is that he is right.

Nostr today is indeed centralized.

Yesterday I published two harmless notes with the exact same content at the same time. In two minutes the notes had a noticeable difference in responses:

The top one was published to wss://nostr.wine, wss://nos.lol, wss://pyramid.fiatjaf.com. The second was published to the relay where I generally publish all my notes to, wss://pyramid.fiatjaf.com, and that is announced on my NIP-05 file and on my NIP-65 relay list.

A few minutes later I published that screenshot again in two identical notes to the same sets of relays, asking if people understood the implications. The difference in quantity of responses can still be seen today:

These results are skewed now by the fact that the two notes got rebroadcasted to multiple relays after some time, but the fundamental point remains.

What happened was that a huge lot more of people saw the first note compared to the second, and if Nostr was really censorship-resistant that shouldn't have happened at all.

Some people implied in the comments, with an air of obviousness, that publishing the note to "more relays" should have predictably resulted in more replies, which, again, shouldn't be the case if Nostr is really censorship-resistant.

What happens is that most people who engaged with the note are following me, in the sense that they have instructed their clients to fetch my notes on their behalf and present them in the UI, and clients are failing to do that despite me making it clear in multiple ways that my notes are to be found on wss://pyramid.fiatjaf.com.

If we were talking not about me, but about some public figure that was being censored by the State and got banned (or shadowbanned) by the 3 biggest public relays, the sad reality would be that the person would immediately get his reach reduced to ~10% of what they had before. This is not at all unlike what happened to dozens of personalities that were banned from the corporate social media platforms and then moved to other platforms -- how many of their original followers switched to these other platforms? Probably some small percentage close to 10%. In that sense Nostr today is similar to what we had before.

Peter Todd is right that if the way Nostr works is that you just subscribe to a small set of relays and expect to get everything from them then it tends to get very centralized very fast, and this is the reality today.

Peter Todd is wrong that Nostr is inherently centralized or that it needs a protocol change to become what it has always purported to be. He is in fact wrong today, because what is written above is not valid for all clients of today, and if we drive in the right direction we can successfully make Peter Todd be more and more wrong as time passes, instead of the contrary.

American Bitcoin, a bitcoin mining company backed by President Donald Trump’s sons, is going public in a new merger deal with Gryphon Digital Mining. Investors and political observers are taking notice as it presents a mixture of Bitcoin, Wall Street and the Trump brand.

This reverse merger allows for American Bitcoin Corporation to become a publicly traded company. This will happen through a stock-for-stock merger with Gryphon Digital Mining, a small-cap bitcoin miner already listed on the Nasdaq.

Once the deal is done, the new company will be called American Bitcoin and will trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol ABTC. The merger is expected to close in the 3rd quarter of 2025.

Eric Trump, who will be the Co-Founder and the Chief Strategy Officer, said:

“Our vision for American Bitcoin is to create the most investable Bitcoin accumulation platform in the market.”

The Trump family’s involvement has gotten a lot of attention. Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. launched American Bitcoin in March this year with digital asset infrastructure company Hut 8, which owns 80% of American Bitcoin.

American Bitcoin leadership team — Hut 8 presentation

After the merger, American Bitcoin shareholders — including the Trump brothers and Hut 8 — will own about 98% of the new company. Gryphon shareholders will own 2% even though Gryphon is the public company facilitating the merger.

Instead of an IPO (Initial Public Offering), American Bitcoin is going public through what’s called a reverse merger. This means it will take over Gryphon’s public listing.

This is often faster and simpler than a traditional IPO. It allows American Bitcoin to access public capital markets while maintaining operational and strategic control.

Hut 8 CEO Asher Genoot said the merger is a big step forward for the company. “By taking American Bitcoin public, we expect to unlock direct access to dedicated growth capital independent of Hut 8’s balance sheet,” Genoot said.

The announcement sent Gryphon’s stock soaring. Shares rose over 280% and Hut 8’s stock went up over 11%. Clearly investors are interested in bitcoin-focused public companies when the asset itself is close to its previous all-time high.

But not everyone is buying. Some investors and analysts are questioning what Gryphon is actually bringing to the table. Gryphon won’t have a seat on the board or any representation in the new management team. Their role seems to be just to provide the public listing.

Many questions remain unanswered because there are no details on mining operations and what Gryphon’s role is beyond the merger.

American Bitcoin’s goal goes far beyond just mining bitcoin. It wants to become a national bitcoin reserve builder and a major player in that space by storing large amounts of bitcoin as a strategic asset.

The company plans to take “capital-light” advantage of Hut 8’s existing infrastructure, so there won’t be any need to build massive new data centers. Hut 8 already manages over 1,000 megawatts of energy capacity, and apparently, they will handle all the mining operations.

This is happening at a tough time for the mining industry in the U.S. and globally.

Profit margins are shrinking, and companies are really feeling the pinch of high operational costs. Hut 8 just reported a 58% drop in revenue and a $134 million net loss for the first quarter of 2025.

Shanghai: Bus Stops Here

A new crowd-sourced transit platform allows riders to propose, vote on, and activate new bus lines in as little as three days.

From early-morning school drop-offs to seniors booking rides to the hospital, from suburban commuters seeking a faster link to the metro to families visiting ancestral graves, Shanghai is rolling out a new kind of public bus — one that’s designed by commuters, and launched only when enough riders request it.

Branded “DZ” for dingzhi, or “customized,” the system invites residents to submit proposed routes through a city-run platform. Others with similar travel needs can opt in or vote, and if demand meets the threshold — typically 15 to 20 passengers per trip — the route goes live.

More than 220 DZ routes have already launched across all 16 city districts. Through an online platform opened May 8, users enter start and end points, preferred times, and trip frequency. If approved, routes can begin running in as little as three days.

MUCH BETTER

@ 8b19a626:6da35f21

I did not arrive with loud words, just quiet prayers and a heart full of purpose. Queen Marvel looked beyond the surface, she saw not where I stood but where I could go to_ to perform in global stages. She believed in me when I was still uncertain, still learning how to grow. She didn't offer gold, she offered faith, a silent kind of power that says," I see you", even when the world doesn't yet. And now, there is a community behind me, Eyes full of hope, hearts whispering, do not forget us. I carry their dreams like sacred cargo. I talk Bitcoin but I live poetry, now am schooling folks with metaphors and memes. Dropping bars on blocks and dreams, telling kings and queens, you got value, you got choice. So here is to Bitcoin, the rebel code that broke my chains, that gave me freedom and these golden poetic veins. This is not hype, it is truth in rhyme Now I spit not for fame But to light other flames, cos if it unlocked mine, then you can do the same. MaKiNi

(Textículo em prosa erudita sobre a Ideologia Anarco-Capitalista-Cristã)

https://davipinheiro.com/01-escravos-da-cara-inchada/

A cultura #Woke apropriou-se da imagem sobre a #escravidão. Quando uma pessoa aculturada imagina um #escravo, vem em sua mente a imagem de um ser humano negro, magro e flagelado. Para quem enxerga além das cortinas da mentira, vem em sua mente a imagem de um ser humano de qualquer etnia, gordo e doente.

Democracia, péssimo regime de governo assim classificado pelo seu próprio idealizador: Platão em A República, é o grito da hienas de dentes arreganhados para ampliação do regime escravocrata fomentado pelos #GlobalistasSatanistas.

Um escravo da cara inchada é todo aquele ser humano ignorante inconsciente que alimenta esse sistema em troca de intoxicantes como flúor¹, cloro, glutamato monosódico, gordura trans, corantes, conservantes, refrigerantes, bebidas alcoólicas, psicotrópicos e remédios sintomáticos, tudo embrulhado com mentiras reiteradas.

Como consequência, após os 18 anos de idade o corpo do #EscravoDaCaraInchada sucumbe à tamanha intoxicação e passa a inchar, sendo fisicamente perceptível sua condição de escravo da cara inchada tanto à olho nú quando por reconhecimento facial de qualquer pseudo inteligência artificial.

O círculo vicioso da #EscravidaoDemocratica é tão simples e tosco como o “pão e circo romano”, Mesmo assim é muito difícil para o escravo da cara inchada perceber a própria condição tamanha é sua intoxicação física e mental.

Se um Anarco-Capitalista-Cristão (#Ancapcristão) chega para um escravo da cara inchada e explica sobre esses intoxicantes como instrumento de escravização, dificilmente o escravo da cara inchada irá acreditar pois diferentemente do antigo e aposentado chicote, o novo instrumento da escravidão não dói de imediato e os próprios efeitos da intoxicação impedem-no de raciocinar com clareza.

Portanto, para que os #GlobalistasSatanistas obtivessem sucesso na democratização da escravidão, tiveram que criar um chicote químico e uma ideologia favorável. Quanto às etapas utilizadas para formação dessa ideologia no inconsciente coletivo passo a elencar as 6 grandes mentiras em ordem cronológica:

(1ª etapa) Iluminismo: distanciamento de #Deus e seus ensinamentos, criação de sociedades secretas, exacerbação do ser humano perante o criador na tentativa de projetar o ser humano como seu próprio deus, tornando-o responsável sobre os rumos naturais do planeta. Assim formou-se a base ideológica para o materialismo, ambientalismo, feminismo, controle populacional e ideologia de gêneros;

(2ª etapa) Materialismo: perda do propósito espiritual e do sentido da vida², o que passa a importar são apenas as coisas materiais, acima inclusive do próprio ser humano. A perpetuação da espécie também fica em segundo plano. Assim formou-se a base ideológica para o ambientalismo, feminismo, controle populacional e ideologia de gêneros;

(3ª etapa) Ambientalismo: redução do ser humano à mero câncer do planeta superlotado, atribuído-lhe a responsabilidade por qualquer desastre natural. Assim formou-se a base ideológica para o controle populacional e ideologia de gêneros;

(4ª etapa) Feminismo: enfraquecimento do ser humano por meio da sua divisão em duas categorias: macho e fêmea, os quais são inimigos e não cooperadores. A ideia de igualdade de gêneros é tão antagônica que beira ao conflito cognitivo³: Eles querem separar para dizer que são iguais... Ora, como não pode haver diferenças entre os gêneros se eles são fisicamente e mentalmente diferentes? Nesse diapasão, mesmo não sendo os estados nacionais os arquitetos da escravidão democrática e sim meros fantoches dos globalistas satanistas, o voto feminino foi fundamental para aprovação de leis misândricas com o fito de acelerar a destruição da base familiar do escravo da cara inchada. Importante mencionar que a base familiar dos globalistas satanistas continua sendo patriarcal. Assim formou-se a base ideológica para o controle populacional e ideologia de gêneros;

(5ª etapa) Controle Populacional: “Crescei e multiplicai-vos” é o caralho, Deus não sabe de nada (Iluminismo), o que importa é o dinheiro e filho é caro (Materialismo), para que colocar mais um ser humano nesse planeta doente e superlotado (Ambientalismo), além disso o sexo oposto é meu inimigo (Feminismo). Essa é base ideológica que antecede a ideologia de Controle Populacional, ainda reforçada pela apologia à castração, já que em todas as mídias produzidas com patrocínio oculto de capital globalista satanista tentam normalizar a castração do homem (perda da capacidade de reprodução) desde em desenhos infantis até grandes produções cinematográficas, ora em tom de humor ora em tom de tortura. Assim os escravos da cara inchada do sexo masculino perderam sua identidade, essência e desejo de ser o que são, formando-se a base ideológica para o homossexualismo, ou seja, para a ideologia de gêneros.

(6ª etapa) Ideologia de Gêneros: É a cereja do bolo para os planos do Diabo (Anjo invejoso de Deus que quer destruir a maior criação: nós). Enquanto os globalistas satanistas, dentro de sua sábia ignorância, acreditam estarem chefiando a democratização da escravidão, na verdade também não passam de meros fantoches do Anjo Caído. Com a sexta e última etapa de mentiras para extinção da humanidade (#apocalipse) posta em prática através da Ideologia de Gêneros, fecha-se o ciclo vicioso de mentiras que se auto justificam: Se #Deus não presta, o que vale são os bens materiais, o ser humano é um câncer no planeta, o sexo oposto é inimigo e ter filhos é uma péssima ideia e ser homem másculo é crime, então ser #homossexual é a melhor opção, inclusive vamos castrar os meninos antes da puberdade sem o consentimento dos pais ou mães solo. Aqui também há uma grande bifurcação do círculo vicioso de mentiras, qual seja o gritante conflito cognitivo³: Se todos os homens deixarem de ser másculos, quem vai comer os #gays afeminados? Ou se todas as mulheres deixarem de ser femininas, quem as #sapatonas irão comer? E o pior, se todos passem a ser homossexuais quem vai perpetuar a espécie? Seremos extintos no lapso temporal de apenas uma geração, pois a fraudulenta medicina moderna jamais terá a capacidade de gerar bebês de chocadeira à tempo.

É interessante enxergar que mesmo os Globalistas Satanistas, dentro de sua sábia ignorância, acreditando estarem democratizando a escravidão em benefício próprio, na verdade apenas estão fomentando o apocalipse, ou seja sua própria extinção. Também não terão qualquer lugar especial no inferno, sinônimo de mal é mentira. Portanto os #GlobalistaSatanistas são meros fantoches do #Diabo enganador, tão submissos quanto o Escravo da Cara Inchada…

Interessante também enxergar que o livre arbítrio é uma condição obrigatória para independência da criação (anjo e ser humano). Todos somos livres para escolher entre o bem e o mal, se iremos ser escravos de #Deus ou escravos do Diabo. Se assim não fosse, inexistiria criação pois seríamos mera extensão da consciência do #Criador, em outras palavras: para que exista uma criação, essa deve ter a capacidade de decisão de forma independente, o chamado livre arbítrio.

Com base nisso, temos que não cabe à nos fazer qualquer revolução, tudo está normal, a luta entre o bem e o mal sempre irá existir pois um não existe sem o outro. Nos cabe apenas escolher o lado. Nesse contexto, tenho a seguinte mensagem destinada à você para encerrar o presente Textículo Anarco-Capitalista-Cristão:

------ > Se você for um ANARCO-CAPITALISTA-CRISTÃO passe esta palavra à diante para que a verdade atinja o maior número de ignorantes inconscientes possível;

------ > Se você for um GLOBALISTA SATANISTA, vai viver sua vida, desfrutar da própria fortuna e pare de ser fantoche o Diabo, mentiram para você: não terá qualquer lugar especial quando morrer;

------ > Se você for um ESCRAVO DA CARA INCHADA e não entendeu o que eu disse, por favor me pergunte ou debata comigo, terei o prazer em lhe ajudar a enxergar a verdade. Pare de trabalhar por dinheiro fiduciário, passe a aceitar #Monero e #Bitcoin em troca do seu trabalho, pois isso é o único jeito de sermos financeiramente livres, se tiver alguma dúvida sobre #criptomoedas me pergunte e terei o prazer e ensinar. Se ainda assim você se recusa a enxergar a verdade exposta aqui, por favor aceite #Monero e #Bitcoin quando for dar o seu cú. Ou melhor, cometa suicídio, já que você é um câncer no planeta, salve a natureza.

Cryptocurrencies have become increasingly popular in recent years, and their impact on the world economy is a topic of much discussion. While there are many potential benefits to using cryptocurrencies, such as greater privacy and security, there are also several ways in which they may impact the global economy.

One potential impact of cryptocurrencies on the world economy is their ability to disrupt traditional financial systems. By enabling peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries such as banks or financial institutions, cryptocurrencies have the potential to lower transaction costs and increase efficiency. This could have a significant impact on industries such as remittances, where people send money across borders to their families.

However, the rise of cryptocurrencies has also brought concerns around their potential impact on monetary policy. Because cryptocurrencies are decentralized and not subject to government control, some fear that they could lead to increased volatility and instability in financial markets. Additionally, the use of cryptocurrencies could make it more difficult for central banks to control inflation and regulate the money supply.

Another potential impact of cryptocurrencies on the global economy is their ability to facilitate international trade. With the use of blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies could provide a secure and transparent means of conducting cross-border transactions. This could reduce the costs and time associated with traditional international payments, which could have a positive impact on global trade.

Finally, the growth of cryptocurrencies could also have an impact on wealth distribution. Because cryptocurrencies are accessible to anyone with an internet connection, they could provide new opportunities for people who have been excluded from traditional financial systems. However, there are also concerns that the concentration of wealth in the hands of early adopters and large cryptocurrency holders could exacerbate existing inequalities.

In conclusion, the impact of cryptocurrencies on the world economy is complex and multifaceted. While they have the potential to disrupt traditional financial systems and facilitate international trade, they also raise concerns around monetary policy and wealth distribution. As the use of cryptocurrencies continues to grow, it will be important to carefully monitor their impact on the global economy and take steps to address any potential risks.

You don’t have to be a type designer to appreciate what goes into the design of a letterform. In fact, even if you’re just a humble graphic designer, you should have a basic knowledge of what constructs the type you employ.

Typography, for all its concepts, expectations, implications, connotations and artistry, is, ultimately, a system. Just like a body has bones and muscles, every letterform has parts that give it shape, rhythm, and character.

If you're a creative working with type, learning the names of these parts helps you communicate clearly, better analyze your work and others, and design with precision. Everything comes down to a foundational understanding of the anatomy of the letterform and its essential component. So let’s help you with that.

Pangram Pangram Foundry is where the art of typography meets unparalleled craftsmanship. Established in 2018 by designer Mat Desjardins, Pangram Pangram has swiftly risen to become a globally recognized independent type foundry, admired and trusted by industry peers and the design community alike.

Censorship-resistant relay discovery in Nostr

In Nostr is not decentralized nor censorship-resistant I said Nostr is centralized. Peter Todd thinks it is centralized by design, but I disagree.

Nostr wasn't designed to be centralized. The idea was always that clients would follow people in the relays they decided to publish to, even if it was a single-user relay hosted in an island in the middle of the Pacific ocean.

But the Nostr explanations never had any guidance about how to do this, and the protocol itself never had any enforcement mechanisms for any of this (because it would be impossible).

My original idea was that clients would use some undefined combination of relay hints in reply tags and the (now defunct) kind:2 relay-recommendation events plus some form of manual action ("it looks like Bob is publishing on relay X, do you want to follow him there?") to accomplish this. With the expectation that we would have a better idea of how to properly implement all this with more experience, Branle, my first working client didn't have any of that implemented, instead it used a stupid static list of relays with read/write toggle -- although it did publish relay hints and kept track of those internally and supported kind:2 events, these things were not really useful.

Gossip was the first client to implement a truly censorship-resistant relay discovery mechanism that used NIP-05 hints (originally proposed by Mike Dilger) relay hints and kind:3 relay lists, and then with the simple insight of NIP-65 that got much better. After seeing it in more concrete terms, it became simpler to reason about it and the approach got popularized as the "gossip model", then implemented in clients like Coracle and Snort.

Today when people mention the "gossip model" (or "outbox model") they simply think about NIP-65 though. Which I think is ok, but too restrictive. I still think there is a place for the NIP-05 hints, nprofile and nevent relay hints and specially relay hints in event tags. All these mechanisms are used together in ZBD Social, for example, but I believe also in the clients listed above.

I don't think we should stop here, though. I think there are other ways, perhaps drastically different ways, to approach content propagation and relay discovery. I think manual action by users is underrated and could go a long way if presented in a nice UX (not conceived by people that think users are dumb animals), and who knows what. Reliance on third-parties, hardcoded values, social graph, and specially a mix of multiple approaches, is what Nostr needs to be censorship-resistant and what I hope to see in the future.

Steve Jobs sent me an email saying “Great idea, thank you."

Wait, what? What was the great idea?

new guy at NeXT In October of 1991, I was a new Systems Engineer at NeXT. NeXT, of course, was the company Steve Jobs had founded after leaving Apple in 1985, and which eventually merged back into Apple in 1996. I was one of three employees in Canada, and I think NeXT had about 400 people total.

NeXTMail Mail on the NeXT Computer was pretty amazing in 1991. Multimedia! Fonts! Attachments! Sounds! It’s hard to overstate how cool that was compared to the command line email everybody was used to. Every NeXT user got this email from Steve when they started up their computer.

That message included an attachment of what NeXT called Lip Service, the crazy idea that you could embed an audio file inside an email message. Crazy.

i have an idea

NeXT automatically set everybody up with a first-initial last-name address in the usual way, so I was shayman@next.com, and the big guy was sjobs@next.com.

A few colleagues had somehow acquired cooler email aliases - single letter things, or their first name, or a nickname or an easier to spell version, or whatever. Turns out NeXT had set up some sort of form where you could request an email alias that would redirect to whatever your real email address was.

I also noticed that even though there were seven or eight people at NeXT named Steve, nobody was using the email alias steve@next.com.

So late one Friday night, two weeks into the job, I figured, naively, what the heck, nobody else seems to want it, so I filled in the form asking for steve@next.com to be forwarded to me, shayman@next.com.

In the back of my mind was a vague idea that maybe somebody would have to approve this. But no, it all got set up automatically, and …

Nostr: a quick introduction, attempt #1

Nostr doesn't have a material existence, it is not a website or an app. Nostr is just a description what kind of messages each computer can send to the others and vice-versa. It's a very simple thing, but the fact that such description exists allows different apps to connect to different servers automatically, without people having to talk behind the scenes or sign contracts or anything like that.

When you use a Nostr client that is what happens, your client will connect to a bunch of servers, called relays, and all these relays will speak the same "language" so your client will be able to publish notes to them all and also download notes from other people.

That's basically what Nostr is: this communication layer between the client you run on your phone or desktop computer and the relay that someone else is running on some server somewhere. There is no central authority dictating who can connect to whom or even anyone who knows for sure where each note is stored.

If you think about it, Nostr is very much like the internet itself: there are millions of websites out there, and basically anyone can run a new one, and there are websites that allow you to store and publish your stuff on them.

The added benefit of Nostr is that this unified "language" that all Nostr clients speak allow them to switch very easily and cleanly between relays. So if one relay decides to ban someone that person can switch to publishing to others relays and their audience will quickly follow them there. Likewise, it becomes much easier for relays to impose any restrictions they want on their users: no relay has to uphold a moral ground of "absolute free speech": each relay can decide to delete notes or ban users for no reason, or even only store notes from a preselected set of people and no one will be entitled to complain about that.

There are some bad things about this design: on Nostr there are no guarantees that relays will have the notes you want to read or that they will store the notes you're sending to them. We can't just assume all relays will have everything — much to the contrary, as Nostr grows more relays will exist and people will tend to publishing to a small set of all the relays, so depending on the decisions each client takes when publishing and when fetching notes, users may see a different set of replies to a note, for example, and be confused.

Another problem with the idea of publishing to multiple servers is that they may be run by all sorts of malicious people that may edit your notes. Since no one wants to see garbage published under their name, Nostr fixes that by requiring notes to have a cryptographic signature. This signature is attached to the note and verified by everybody at all times, which ensures the notes weren't tampered (if any part of the note is changed even by a single character that would cause the signature to become invalid and then the note would be dropped). The fix is perfect, except for the fact that it introduces the requirement that each user must now hold this 63-character code that starts with "nsec1", which they must not reveal to anyone. Although annoying, this requirement brings another benefit: that users can automatically have the same identity in many different contexts and even use their Nostr identity to login to non-Nostr websites easily without having to rely on any third-party.

To conclude: Nostr is like the internet (or the internet of some decades ago): a little chaotic, but very open. It is better than the internet because it is structured and actions can be automated, but, like in the internet itself, nothing is guaranteed to work at all times and users many have to do some manual work from time to time to fix things. Plus, there is the cryptographic key stuff, which is painful, but cool.

By Unknownfx

As a writer with over 100 stories published on platforms like Medium, I’ve explored countless spaces to share my voice. Few, however, have captured my heart quite like YakiHonne. This platform blends the best of creative expression, community engagement, and versatility, making it a perfect fit for someone like me, whose work spans self-improvement articles and forex/crypto trading posts. Below, I’ll dive into why YakiHonne has become my go-to platform, from its seamless writing experience to its vibrant, X-like social features.

A Writer’s Paradise for Self-Improvement and Mental Health Writing about self-improvement and mental health requires a space that feels safe, inspiring, and receptive. YakiHonne delivers exactly that. The platform’s clean interface and intuitive design make it easy to craft long-form articles that resonate with readers. Whether I’m sharing strategies for managing anxiety or tips for personal growth, YakiHonne’s formatting tools allow me to structure my thoughts clearly with headings, lists, and emphasis—perfect for breaking down complex topics into digestible insights.

What sets YakiHonne apart is its supportive community. Readers on the platform are genuinely engaged, leaving thoughtful comments that spark meaningful conversations. For instance, after posting an article on mindfulness techniques, I received feedback from readers who shared how my words helped them navigate tough days. This kind of connection fuels my passion for writing and reminds me why I focus on mental health and self-improvement. Unlike other platforms where articles can feel like they’re shouting into the void, YakiHonne makes every piece feel like a dialogue.

The X-Like Social Vibe: Notes, Quotes, and Instant Feedback One of my favorite features of YakiHonne is its resemblance to X, particularly in its note-posting and interaction mechanics. As someone who posts regularly about forex and crypto trading, I love the ability to share quick, bite-sized insights—market trends, trading psychology tips, or even a heads-up about a volatile crypto coin. These notes are like X posts: short, punchy, and designed to spark immediate engagement. The “quote” and “like” buttons add a layer of interactivity that makes posting feel dynamic and rewarding.

For example, when I shared a post about the importance of risk management in forex trading on X, it was quoted by several users who added their own perspectives, creating a mini-discussion thread. This instant feedback loop keeps me motivated to post regularly and I am seeing the same thing happening here. It’s also a great way to test ideas before turning them into full articles. The X-like social features make YakiHonne a hybrid platform—part writing hub, part social network—perfect for balancing my long-form self-improvement content with my trading-focused posts.

Versatility for My Dual Niches YakiHonne’s flexibility is a game-changer for someone like me with two distinct niches. My self-improvement and mental health articles require depth and storytelling, which YakiHonne’s article editor supports beautifully. Meanwhile, my forex and crypto trading posts thrive in the fast-paced, conversational note format. The platform doesn’t force me to choose between these worlds; instead, it gives me tools to excel in both.

This versatility also extends to audience reach. YakiHonne’s algorithm seems to understand my niches, recommending my articles to readers interested in personal growth and my notes to those following trading topics. This targeted exposure has helped me build a diverse following, something I struggled with on other platforms where my content sometimes got lost in the noise.

A Community That Feels Like Home Beyond the technical perks, YakiHonne’s community feels like a digital home. Writers and readers alike are passionate, curious, and supportive. I’ve connected with other creators who share my interests, from mental health advocates to trading enthusiasts. These connections have led to collaborations, like guest posts and even a few trading strategy discussions that inspired new content. The sense of belonging on YakiHonne is unmatched, making it a platform where I feel seen and valued as a writer.

Gratitude and Ambition: My YakiHonne Journey I’m endlessly grateful for discovering YakiHonne. It’s a platform that not only amplifies my voice but also aligns perfectly with my creative and social needs. As I continue to share my self-improvement articles and trading posts, I’m excited to grow my presence on YakiHonne, just as I’ve done on Medium and other platforms. My goal is to reach the top, building a loyal audience and making a lasting impact. With YakiHonne’s unique blend of features and community spirit, I’m confident this is just the beginning of an incredible journey.

ย้อนกลับไปในยุคโบราณ ไม่ว่าชนเผ่าชาวทุ่งหญ้าในยูเรเชีย ชาวอินเดียตอนเหนือ หรือเผ่าทะเลทรายแถบตะวันออกกลาง ล้วนมีวัฒนธรรมที่เกี่ยวข้องกับนมวัว นมจามรี นมแพะ และทุกชนิดก็ลงเอยที่การเอานมไปแปรรูปเป็น “เนย” ทั้งเนยแบบสด เนยหมัก

เนยที่เก่าแก่ที่สุดเท่าที่มีบันทึก คือ “Bog Butter” จากไอร์แลนด์ ไม่ใช่ blockbuster นะ ฮาๆๆๆ “Bog Butter” เป็นเนยที่ถูกฝังไว้ในบึงพรุ (bog) ของไอร์แลนด์และสก็อตแลนด์ มาหลายร้อยถึงหลายพันปี โดยไม่มีการเน่าเสีย! เพราะบึงพรุมีสภาพแวดล้อมที่เป็นกรด ไม่มีออกซิเจน และเย็น จึงเป็นสภาวะที่เหมาะกับการถนอมอาหารแบบธรรมชาติสุด ๆ

มีหลักฐานการค้นพบ Bog Butter อายุราว 3,000 ปี (ยุคเหล็กตอนต้น) ในหลายพื้นที่ของไอร์แลนด์ เช่น County Offaly, County Cavan และ County Fermanagh ลักษณะของ Bog Butter ที่ขุดพบ บางก้อนยังอยู่ในสภาพดี มีสีเหลืองทอง เนื้อเนียน และยังมีกลิ่นคล้ายชีสที่สุกมาก ๆ ภาชนะที่ใช้ใส่เนยมักเป็นถังไม้ กล่องไม้โอ๊ค หรือแม้แต่หนังสัตว์ผูกไว้แน่น ๆ

นักโบราณคดีเชื่อว่า Bog Butter คือเนยจากนมสัตว์ (นมวัวหรือนมแพะ) ที่อาจผ่านการหมักหรือเคี่ยวแล้วก่อนนำไปฝัง เพื่อถนอมไว้กินในฤดูหนาวหรือในปีที่น้ำนมขาดแคลน บางทฤษฎีก็เสนอว่ามีการฝังเนยเพื่อเหตุผลทางพิธีกรรม หรือใช้เป็น “ทรัพย์สิน” ที่ฝากไว้กับแผ่นดินเพื่อแสดงความมั่งคั่ง

ที่น่าทึ่งก็คือนี่เป็นการถนอมเนยที่ไม่ใช้ความร้อน ไม่ใช้เกลือ และไม่ใช้น้ำแข็ง แต่กลับอยู่ได้นานเป็นพันปี เพราะอาศัยสภาพแวดล้อมที่เข้าใจธรรมชาติสุด ๆ มีข้อมูลว่าเขามีการชิม Bog Butter ที่ขุดขึ้นมาด้วยนะ มีคำบรรยายไว้ว่า “มันมีกลิ่นชีสเข้มข้น กลิ่นดินและควันบาง ๆ เหมือนกินประวัติศาสตร์” 5555

เนยแท้ (butter) ก็คือน้ำนมที่ถูกแยกเอาไขมันออกมาด้วยการตี (churning) โดยอาศัยแรงมือหรือแรงกล เครื่องตีจะรวมเม็ดไขมันเล็ก ๆ จากครีมนมให้จับตัวกันกลายเป็นก้อนเนย แล้วแยกเอาน้ำบัตเตอร์มิลค์ออกไป คงเหลือไว้แค่ไขมันเนยที่หอม มัน และอุดมไปด้วยวิตามิน A, D, E, K ในรูปที่ดูดซึมง่าย เพราะละลายในไขมัน

องค์ประกอบหลักที่อยู่ในเนยจะมี 3 ส่วนใหญ่ๆเรียกแบบเหมารวมคือ

1 ไขมันนม/ไขมันเนย หรือ butter oil 2 เนื้อนม หรือ solid milk 3 ส่วนที่เป็นของเหลวต่างๆ หรือ moisture คือมันไม่เจาะจงว่าน้ำนึกออกไหมครับ นมมาจากธรรมชาติไม่ได้มาจากการผสมสัดส่วน ดังนั้นการจะมุ่งว่าเป็นน้ำเลยจึงไม่ใช่เสียทีเดียว ภาษาไทยเราจึงมักแปลไว้ว่าส่วนที่เป็นความชื้น *ตรงนี้มีหมายเหตุไว้นิดหน่อยครับว่า เจ้าไขมันเนยนี่ เราอาจะเจอภาษาอังกฤษหลายคำนะครับ เช่น butterfat, butter oil, fat milk ตรงนี้ให้เข้าไจไว้ว่ามันหมายถึงสิ่งเดียวกันนั่นหละครับ

สิ่งสำคัญในการทำเนยคือ ไขมันจากนมนั่นเอง นมส่วนที่ไขมันสูงนั้นเราเรียกว่า ครีม นึกภาพเป็นการ์ตูนง่ายๆได้ว่า เราช้อนเเอาเฉพาะส่วนที่เป็นครีมนั่นแหละ แล้วเอามาทำมาทำเป็นเนย ปล่อยทิ้งส่วนของนมที่ไม่มีไขมันเอาไว้ทำอย่างอื่น (มันคือนมพร่องมันเนย คุ้นมะ แต่จริงๆเค้าไม่ได้เอาส่วนนี้มาขายเป็นนมให้เราหรอกนะครับ โรงงานแต่ละโรงจะตั้งไลน์ผลิตเพื่อสินค้าที่ดีที่สุดของตัวเอิง จะไม่จับฉ่ายเอาเศษเดนมาทำของขายให้เรา)

การเตรียมครีมก่อนจะเข้าสู่การผลิตเนยก็จะมีหลากหลายรูปแบบยกตัวอย่างเช่น

-Sour cream butter หรือ Cultured butter เป็นเนยทำจากครีมที่ผ่านการพาสเจอไรส์(ฆ่าเชื้อ) แล้วหมักด้วยจุลินทรีย์แลคติกหรือไม่ก็แลคโตบาซิลัส ทำให้มีกลิ่นและรสที่ดี -Neutralized sour cream butter เป็นเนยที่ได้จากครีมที่หมักด้วยจุลินทรีย์แล้วเอาไปทำเป็นกลางด้วย โซเดียมไบคาบอเนต โซเดียมคาร์บอเนต แคลเซียมไฮดรอกไซด์ รวมกับ แมกนีเซียมออกไซด์ หรือ แมกนีเซียมไฮดรอกไซด์ -Sweet cream butter เป็นเนยที่ทำจากครีมที่ผ่านการพาสเจอไรส์(ฆ่าเชื้อ) แต่ไม่มีการหมักบ่ม คือนำไปปั่นทำเนยเลย เนยชนิดนี้จะมีกลิ่นคล้ายครีมถ้ายี่ห้อนั้นๆไม่ได้เติมกลิ่นลงไปเพิ่มนะครับ รสชาติจะออกไปทางหวานนิดๆ เพราะมีน้ำตาลธรรมชาติในนมอยู่เนื่องจากไม่ได้ผ่านการหมัก แต่ไม่ต้องกังวลเพราะไม่ถึงกับหวานเวอร์ มันจะแค่หวานกว่าเนยชนิด Cultured butter แค่นั้น -Semi-culture butter หรือ European-style butter หรือ Fresh cream butter เป็นเนยที่ได้จากครีมที่ไม่ได้ผ่านการหมัก คือทำแบบเดียวกับ Sweet cream butter แต่ขั้นตอนสุดท้ายมีการเติมกลิ่นรสและกรดแลคติก ที่ได้จากนมหมักจุลินทรีย์แล้วเอาไปผ่านกระบวนการ อัลตร้าฟิลเทรชัน (Ultrafiltration) เพื่อให้เข้มข้นขึ้น -Raw butter cream เป็นเนยที่ผลิตจากน้ำนมดิบ ไม่ผ่านการพาสเจอไรส์(ฆ่าเชื้อ) คือจัดไปดิบๆเลย นมดิบสดๆมาแยกครีมแล้วปั่นทำเนยเลยไม่มีการเติมอะไรทั้งสิ้น คุณภาพของเนยชนิดนี้จะแปรผันตามคุณภาพของน้ำนมดิบและความเชี่ยวชาญของผู้ที่ผลิตเนย อายุของเนยชนิดนี้จะสั้นแค่ประมาณ 7-10วันเท่านั้นเพราะทุกอย่างมันสดจริงๆ

เห็นไหมครับว่า เนยแต่ละยี่ห้อเขาก็จะมีกรรมวิธีผลิตเนยในรูปแบบที่ต่างกันไป เนยบ่มก็จะมีกลิ่นหอมรสที่หนักแน่นปริมาณไขมันเนยและความชื้นน้อยกว่าเนยแบบ sweet cream ส่วนเจ้าเนย sweet cream เองก็เน้นที่ความสดความเฟรช กลิ่นเบาๆครีมๆมีความหวานหลงเหลืออยู่และมีราคาถูกกว่า ส่วนตัว raw butter ก็จะออกไปทางงานคราฟท์ คลาสสิค

เนย Home made ทำยังไง เนยแบบที่เราทำกินเองได้ในบ้านก็เป็นแบบ sweet cream butter หรือ เนยที่ได้จากครีมสดไม่ผ่านการหมักอะไรเลย เว้นแต่เติมเกลือเพื่อให้เป็นเนยเค็ม (จริงๆเติมเกลือเพื่อช่วยยืดอายุเนยได้อีกระยะหนึ่งด้วยนะ เป็นแทคติก) ปกติวิธีการทำเนย เขาจะเอาครีมเข้าถังปั่น เพื่อให้ครีมเกิดการแยกก้อนเนยเป็น grain (เขาเรียกว่า butter granule/butter curds) กับ หางเนย (butter milk) ซึ่งเป็นของเหลวที่ประกอบไปด้วยเนื้อนมไม่รวมมันเนยแล้วก็น้ำ แล้วเขาก็จะเอาก้อนเนยนี่แหละไปล้างน้ำเย็นเอากลิ่นหืนๆและรสประหลาดๆออกไป กำจัดความชื้นแล้วจบกระบวนการตีๆตบๆขึ้นรูปเนยก้อนต่อไป

ตรงนี้ถ้าจะให้เห็นภาพขึ้น ใครทำขนมเองคงรู้ดี เวลาที่เราตีวิปครีมมากเกินไป มันจะจับก้อนและแยกชั้น เป็นก้อนๆกับเหลวๆ ก้อนๆก็คือเนื้อเนย ไอ้เหลวๆก็คือ butter milk

การทำ เนยสด homemade fresh butter กินเองที่บ้านเราก็ทำได้ด้วยการจำลองถังปั่นด้วยเครื่องตีขนม จะเป็นแบบตีมือหรือแบบเครื่องก็ได้ครับ หรืออยากจะแอดวานซ์เอาใส่ขวดน้ำแล้วเขย่าก็ได้เหมือนกันนะครับ เมื่อถึงระยะเวลานึงครีมก็จะแยกตัวเป็นเนย กับ butter milk

ลองดูที่ผมเคยทำไว้ในคลิปนี้ได้ครับ https://youtu.be/bzo7V9n2cxc?si=0ZvcAT1H-6h1ZmUh

ไขมันในเนยมีองค์ประกอบพิเศษที่ไม่ค่อยถูกพูดถึงเท่าไรนัก นั่นคือกรดไขมันสายสั้นอย่าง butyric acid ซึ่งมีชื่อมาจากคำว่า “butter” เลย เพราะมันมีบทบาทในลำไส้ โดยเฉพาะการเป็นอาหารของเซลล์เยื่อบุลำไส้ใหญ่ ช่วยลดอาการอักเสบในระบบทางเดินอาหาร

สัดส่วนไขมันในเนยส่วนใหญ่จะเป็น ไขมันอิ่มตัว (SFA) ราว 50-65%, ไขมันไม่อิ่มตัวเชิงเดี่ยว (MUFA) ประมาณ 25-30% และไขมันไม่อิ่มตัวเชิงซ้อน (PUFA) ราว 2-5% เท่านั้น แต่ในส่วนของ PUFA นั้นมีความพิเศษเล็กน้อย ที่จะคุยในน้ำมันตัวต่อไปครับ

ในโลกตะวันตกโดยเฉพาะฝรั่งเศส อิตาลี และยุโรปตอนเหนือ เนยคือพระเอกประจำห้องครัว ใช้ผัด ใช้อบ ใช้ทาขนมปัง เป็นของคู่กับวัฒนธรรมการกินแบบ traditional food ซึ่งแตกต่างจากยุคอุตสาหกรรมที่ผลักให้เนยแท้หลบมุม แล้วเอา margarine หรือ shortening ซึ่งเต็มไปด้วยไขมันแปรรูปมาแทน ด้วยการโฆษณาแบบ fiat food คล้ายกับเรื่องที่เฮียเคยพูดบ่อย ๆ นั่นแหละ

ในประเทศไทยเราเองก็มีเนยวัวใช้ในอาหารบางชนิด โดยเฉพาะขนมอบ ขนมฝรั่งโบราณ หรือขนมเนยสดสไตล์ยุโรปที่เข้ามาสมัยรัชกาลที่ 5 แต่โดยรวมคนไทยไม่คุ้นเคยกับเนยในครัวร้อนมากนัก เพราะวัฒนธรรมอาหารเรามักใช้ไขมันจากสัตว์ท้องถิ่นมากกว่า เช่น น้ำมันหมู ไขมันวัว หรือน้ำมันจากไก่และเป็ด

การใช้เนยจึงเป็นเหมือนการสื่อสารข้ามวัฒนธรรม เป็นของเรียบง่ายที่เล่าเรื่องความรู้ของมนุษย์กับธรรมชาติได้อย่างลึกซึ้ง ยิ่งเมื่อเรากลับมานึกถึงภูมิปัญญาเดิม ๆ ก็จะเห็นว่า เนยไม่ได้แค่ให้พลังงาน แต่มันคือไขมันที่พาคุณค่าสารอาหารซึมลึกเข้าไปถึงทุกเนื้อเยื่อ และพาเราเดินทางกลับไปสู่วิถีของอาหารจริง (real food) อย่างสง่างามเลยล่ะ

มาถึงตรงนี้สามารถสรุปง่ายๆจนเห็นภาพโครงสร้างหลักของเนยแล้วใช่ไหมครับว่า เนย = ไขมัน butter oil + เนื้อนม solid milk + ของเหลวอื่นๆ

หลังจากนี้เราจะมาคุยอีกผลผลิตนึง ที่ทำจากเนยครับ จำสมการข้างบนไว้ให้ดีครับ

สำหรับคนที่เพิ่งเริ่มเข้าวงการเนย ตัวนี้เป็น starter ที่ดีครับ วัวกินหญ้า https://s.shopee.co.th/30bQI86d1Q

Freedom of expression is one of the cornerstones of any open and progressive society. It is the right to speak, write, and share ideas without fear of censorship or persecution. More than just a legal right, it is a vital part of human development and societal growth.

Understanding Freedom of Expression

Freedom of expression goes beyond merely speaking your mind. It includes the right to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas of all kinds, whether verbally, in writing, through art, or in any other medium of expression. It is a right that fuels debate, drives change, and challenges injustice.

The Power of a Voice

Throughout history, freedom of expression has been a powerful tool for social change. From the speeches of Martin Luther King Jr. to the writings of Nelson Mandela, the ability to express ideas freely has sparked revolutions, reformed societies, and inspired generations.

Challenges to Freedom of Expression

Despite its importance, freedom of expression is often threatened. Censorship, political suppression, and societal pressures can silence voices that challenge the status quo. In the digital age, misinformation and online harassment also pose new challenges to maintaining this fundamental right.

Protecting the Right to Speak

1. Support Open Dialogue: Encourage discussions, even when opinions differ.

2. Stand Against Censorship: Oppose efforts to silence voices, regardless of their viewpoint.

3. Promote Media Literacy: Equip people to identify credible information and resist manipulation.

4. Respect Diverse Opinions: Embrace different perspectives, even if you disagree.

The Path Forward

Freedom of expression is not just about the right to speak; it's about the right to be heard. By protecting this freedom, we safeguard democracy, encourage innovation, and foster an environment where truth can flourish.

---

“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” — Evelyn Beatrice Hall

Speak boldly. Listen openly. Protect the right to be heard.

Pequenos problemas que o Estado cria para a sociedade e que não são sempre lembrados

- **vale-transporte**: transferir o custo com o transporte do funcionário para um terceiro o estimula a morar longe de onde trabalha, já que morar perto é normalmente mais caro e a economia com transporte é inexistente.
- **atestado médico**: o direito a faltar o trabalho com atestado médico cria a exigência desse atestado para todas as situações, substituindo o livre acordo entre patrão e empregado e sobrecarregando os médicos e postos de saúde com visitas desnecessárias de assalariados resfriados.
- **prisões**: com dinheiro mal-administrado, burocracia e péssima alocação de recursos -- problemas que empresas privadas em competição (ou mesmo sem qualquer competição) saberiam resolver muito melhor -- o Estado fica sem presídios, com os poucos existentes entupidos, muito acima de sua alocação máxima, e com isto, segundo a bizarra corrente de responsabilidades que culpa o juiz que condenou o criminoso por sua morte na cadeia, juízes deixam de condenar à prisão os bandidos, soltando-os na rua.
- **justiça**: entrar com processos é grátis e isto faz proliferar a atividade dos advogados que se dedicam a criar problemas judiciais onde não seria necessário e a entupir os tribunais, impedindo-os de fazer o que mais deveriam fazer.
- **justiça**: como a justiça só obedece às leis e ignora acordos pessoais, escritos ou não, as pessoas não fazem acordos, recorrem sempre à justiça estatal, e entopem-na de assuntos que seriam muito melhor resolvidos entre vizinhos.
- **leis civis**: as leis criadas pelos parlamentares ignoram os costumes da sociedade e são um incentivo a que as pessoas não respeitem nem criem normas sociais -- que seriam maneiras mais rápidas, baratas e satisfatórias de resolver problemas.
- **leis de trãnsito**: quanto mais leis de trânsito, mais serviço de fiscalização são delegados aos policiais, que deixam de combater crimes por isto (afinal de contas, eles não querem de fato arriscar suas vidas combatendo o crime, a fiscalização é uma excelente desculpa para se esquivarem a esta responsabilidade).
- **financiamento educacional**: é uma espécie de subsídio às faculdades privadas que faz com que se criem cursos e mais cursos que são cada vez menos recheados de algum conhecimento ou técnica útil e cada vez mais inúteis.
- **leis de tombamento**: são um incentivo a que o dono de qualquer área ou construção "histórica" destrua todo e qualquer vestígio de história que houver nele antes que as autoridades descubram, o que poderia não acontecer se ele pudesse, por exemplo, usar, mostrar e se beneficiar da história daquele local sem correr o risco de perder, de fato, a sua propriedade.
- **zoneamento urbano**: torna as cidades mais espalhadas, criando uma necessidade gigantesca de carros, ônibus e outros meios de transporte para as pessoas se locomoverem das zonas de moradia para as zonas de trabalho.
- **zoneamento urbano**: faz com que as pessoas percam horas no trânsito todos os dias, o que é, além de um desperdício, um atentado contra a sua saúde, que estaria muito melhor servida numa caminhada diária entre a casa e o trabalho.
- **zoneamento urbano**: torna ruas e as casas menos seguras criando zonas enormes, tanto de residências quanto de indústrias, onde não há movimento de gente alguma.
- **escola obrigatória + currículo escolar nacional**: emburrece todas as crianças.
- **leis contra trabalho infantil**: tira das crianças a oportunidade de aprender ofícios úteis e levar um dinheiro para ajudar a família.
- **licitações**: como não existem os critérios do mercado para decidir qual é o melhor prestador de serviço, criam-se comissões de pessoas que vão decidir coisas. isto incentiva os prestadores de serviço que estão concorrendo na licitação a tentar comprar os membros dessas comissões. isto, fora a corrupção, gera problemas reais: __(i)__ a escolha dos serviços acaba sendo a pior possível, já que a empresa prestadora que vence está claramente mais dedicada a comprar comissões do que a fazer um bom trabalho (este problema afeta tantas áreas, desde a construção de estradas até a qualidade da merenda escolar, que é impossível listar aqui); __(ii)__ o processo corruptor acaba, no longo prazo, eliminando as empresas que prestavam e deixando para competir apenas as corruptas, e a qualidade tende a piorar progressivamente.
- **cartéis**: o Estado em geral cria e depois fica refém de vários grupos de interesse. o caso dos taxistas contra o Uber é o que está na moda hoje (e o que mostra como os Estados se comportam da mesma forma no mundo todo).
- **multas**: quando algum indivíduo ou empresa comete uma fraude financeira, ou causa algum dano material involuntário, as vítimas do caso são as pessoas que sofreram o dano ou perderam dinheiro, mas o Estado tem sempre leis que prevêem multas para os responsáveis. A justiça estatal é sempre muito rígida e rápida na aplicação dessas multas, mas relapsa e vaga no que diz respeito à indenização das vítimas. O que em geral acontece é que o Estado aplica uma enorme multa ao responsável pelo mal, retirando deste os recursos que dispunha para indenizar as vítimas, e se retira do caso, deixando estas desamparadas.
- **desapropriação**: o Estado pode pegar qualquer propriedade de qualquer pessoa mediante uma indenização que é necessariamente inferior ao valor da propriedade para o seu presente dono (caso contrário ele a teria vendido voluntariamente).
- **seguro-desemprego**: se há, por exemplo, um prazo mínimo de 1 ano para o sujeito ter direito a receber seguro-desemprego, isto o incentiva a planejar ficar apenas 1 ano em cada emprego (ano este que será sucedido por um período de desemprego remunerado), matando todas as possibilidades de aprendizado ou aquisição de experiência naquela empresa específica ou ascensão hierárquica.
- **previdência**: a previdência social tem todos os defeitos de cálculo do mundo, e não importa muito ela ser uma forma horrível de poupar dinheiro, porque ela tem garantias bizarras de longevidade fornecidas pelo Estado, além de ser compulsória. Isso serve para criar no imaginário geral a idéia da __aposentadoria__, uma época mágica em que todos os dias serão finais de semana. A idéia da aposentadoria influencia o sujeito a não se preocupar em ter um emprego que faça sentido, mas sim em ter um trabalho qualquer, que o permita se aposentar.
- **regulamentação impossível**: milhares de coisas são proibidas, há regulamentações sobre os aspectos mais mínimos de cada empreendimento ou construção ou espaço. se todas essas regulamentações fossem exigidas não haveria condições de produção e todos morreriam. portanto, elas não são exigidas. porém, o Estado, ou um agente individual imbuído do poder estatal pode, se desejar, exigi-las todas de um cidadão inimigo seu. qualquer pessoa pode viver a vida inteira sem cumprir nem 10% das regulamentações estatais, mas viverá também todo esse tempo com medo de se tornar um alvo de sua exigência, num estado de terror psicológico.
- **perversão de critérios**: para muitas coisas sobre as quais a sociedade normalmente chegaria a um valor ou comportamento "razoável" espontaneamente, o Estado dita regras. estas regras muitas vezes não são obrigatórias, são mais "sugestões" ou limites, como o salário mínimo, ou as 44 horas semanais de trabalho. a sociedade, porém, passa a usar esses valores como se fossem o normal. são raras, por exemplo, as ofertas de emprego que fogem à regra das 44h semanais.
- **inflação**: subir os preços é difícil e constrangedor para as empresas, pedir aumento de salário é difícil e constrangedor para o funcionário. a inflação força as pessoas a fazer isso, mas o aumento não é automático, como alguns economistas podem pensar (enquanto alguns outros ficam muito satisfeitos de que esse processo seja demorado e difícil).
- **inflação**: a inflação destrói a capacidade das pessoas de julgar preços entre concorrentes usando a própria memória.
- **inflação**: a inflação destrói os cálculos de lucro/prejuízo das empresas e prejudica enormemente as decisões empresariais que seriam baseadas neles.
- **inflação**: a inflação redistribui a riqueza dos mais pobres e mais afastados do sistema financeiro para os mais ricos, os bancos e as megaempresas.
- **inflação**: a inflação estimula o endividamento e o consumismo.
- **lixo:** ao prover coleta e armazenamento de lixo "grátis para todos" o Estado incentiva a criação de lixo. se tivessem que pagar para que recolhessem o seu lixo, as pessoas (e conseqüentemente as empresas) se empenhariam mais em produzir coisas usando menos plástico, menos embalagens, menos sacolas.
- **leis contra crimes financeiros:** ao criar legislação para dificultar acesso ao sistema financeiro por parte de criminosos a dificuldade e os custos para acesso a esse mesmo sistema pelas pessoas de bem cresce absurdamente, levando a um percentual enorme de gente incapaz de usá-lo, para detrimento de todos -- e no final das contas os grandes criminosos ainda conseguem burlar tudo.

Past week summary

From a Self Custody for Organizations perspective, after analyzing the existing protocols (Cerberus, 10xSecurityBTCguide and Glacier) and reading a bunch of relates articles and guides, have wrapped to the conclusion that this format it is good to have as reference. However, something else is needed. For example, a summary or a map of the whole process to provide an overview, plus a way to deliver all the information and the multy-process in a more enjoyable way. Not a job for this hackathon, but with the right collaborations I assume it's possible to: - build something that might introduce a bit more quests and gamification - provide a learning environment (with testnet funds) could also be crucial on educating those unfamiliar with bitcoin onchain dynamics.

Have been learning more and playing around practicing best accessibility practices and how it could be applied to a desktop software like Bitcoin Safe. Thanks to @johnjherzog for providing a screen recording of his first experience and @jasonb for suggesting the tools to be used. (in this case tested/testing on Windows with the Accessibility Insights app). Some insight shared have been also applied to the website, running a full accessibility check (under WCAG 2.2 ADA, and Section 508 standards) with 4 different plugins and two online tools. I recognize that not all of them works and analyze the same parameters, indeed they complement each other providing a more accurate review.

For Bitcoin Safe interface improvements, many suggestions have been shared with @andreasgriffin , including: - a new iconset, including a micro-set to display the number of confirmed blocs for each transaction - a redesigned History/Dashboard - small refinements like adding missing columns on the tables - allow the user to select which columns to be displayed - sorting of unconfirmed transactions - Defining a new style for design elements like mempool blocks and quick receive boxes You can find below some screenshots with my proposals that hopefully will be included in the next release.

Last achievement this week was to prepare the website https://Safe.BTC.pub, the container where all the outcomes f this experiment will be published. You can have a look, just consider it still WIP. Branding for the project has also been finalized and available in this penpot file https://design.penpot.app/#/workspace?team-id=cec80257-5021-8137-8005-eab60c043dd6&project-id=cec80257-5021-8137-8005-eab60c043dd8&file-id=95aea877-d515-80ac-8006-23a251886db3&page-id=132f519a-39f4-80db-8006-2a41c364a545

What's for next week

After spending most of the time learning and reading material, this coming week will be focused on deliverables. The goal as planned will be to provide: - Finalized Safe₿its brand and improve overall desktop app experience, including categorization of transactions and addresses - An accessibility report or guide for Bitcoin Safe and support to implement best practices - A first draft of the Self-Custody for Organizations guide/framework/protocol, ideally delivered through the website http://Safe.BTC.pub in written format, but also as FlowChart to help have an overview of the whole resources needed and the process itself. This will clearly define preparations and tools/hardwares needed to successfully complete the process.

bitcoind decentralization

It is better to have multiple curator teams, with different vetting processes and release schedules for bitcoind than a single one.

"More eyes on code", "Contribute to Core", "Everybody should audit the code".

All these points repeated again and again fell to Earth on the day it was discovered that Bitcoin Core developers merged a variable name change from "blacklist" to "blocklist" without even discussing or acknowledging the fact that that innocent pull request opened by a sybil account was a social attack.

After a big lot of people manifested their dissatisfaction with that event on Twitter and on GitHub, most Core developers simply ignored everybody's concerns or even personally attacked people who were complaining.

The event has shown that:

1) Bitcoin Core ultimately rests on the hands of a couple maintainers and they decide what goes on the GitHub repository[^pr-merged-very-quickly] and the binary releases that will be downloaded by thousands; 2) Bitcoin Core is susceptible to social attacks; 2) "More eyes on code" don't matter, as these extra eyes can be ignored and dismissed.

Solution: bitcoind decentralization

If usage was spread across 10 different bitcoind flavors, the network would be much more resistant to social attacks to a single team.

This has nothing to do with the question on if it is better to have multiple different Bitcoin node implementations or not, because here we're basically talking about the same software.

Multiple teams, each with their own release process, their own logo, some subtle changes, or perhaps no changes at all, just a different name for their bitcoind flavor, and that's it.

Every day or week or month or year, each flavor merges all changes from Bitcoin Core on their own fork. If there's anything suspicious or too leftist (or perhaps too rightist, in case there's a leftist bitcoind flavor), maybe they will spot it and not merge.

This way we keep the best of both worlds: all software development, bugfixes, improvements goes on Bitcoin Core, other flavors just copy. If there's some non-consensus change whose efficacy is debatable, one of the flavors will merge on their fork and test, and later others -- including Core -- can copy that too. Plus, we get resistant to attacks: in case there is an attack on Bitcoin Core, only 10% of the network would be compromised. the other flavors would be safe.

Run Bitcoin Knots

The first example of a bitcoind software that follows Bitcoin Core closely, adds some small changes, but has an independent vetting and release process is Bitcoin Knots, maintained by the incorruptible Luke DashJr.

Next time you decide to run bitcoind, run Bitcoin Knots instead and contribute to bitcoind decentralization!

Leider bin ich mit der Anregung einer deutschen Übersetzung nicht rechtzeitig durchgedrungen, denn dieses Buch wäre die passende Vorbereitung für die Feiern zum 80. Jahrestag des Kriegsendes gewesen – und die angemessene Ohrfeige für die dreiste Ignoranz und Geschichtsvergessenheit der Deutschen, die nicht einmal formal diplomatischen Anstand bewahren können, und einen Vertreter Russlands zu diesem Gedenktag einladen. Oder einen hochrangigen Vertreter nach Moskau schicken, der den Millionen zivilen Opfern und den sowjetischen Soldaten Ehre und Anerkennung erweist, die die monströse Mordmaschine der Nazi-Armee besiegt haben.

\ Wie das geschah und wie westliche Kriegskorrespondenten und Frontreporter darüber berichteten, dokumentiert auf beeindruckende Weise der Band “Miracle in the East – Western War Correspondents Report 1941-1945”, der im vergangenen Herbst auf Englisch erschienen ist (hier als pdf ). Beeindruckend deshalb, weil diese Reporter anders als heute noch echte Journalisten und vor Ort waren, statt Copy-Paste-FakeNews auf dem Laptop zu produzieren; und weil ihre Berichte und Analysen die historische Entwicklung dieses Kriegs aufzeichnen, bei der Soldaten aus ganz Europa mit den Deutschen gegen die Sowjetunion vorrückten. 

Die großen Zeitungen und Magazine in den USA und England, so der Autor Dmitry Fedorov im Vorwort, veröffentlichten  Editorials und Leitartikel, “die von einem solchen Maß an Respekt und Bewunderung für das Heldentum des sowjetischen Volkes zeugten, dass sie darin mit den Moskauer Zeitungen hätte konkurrieren können”; und sie kürten, als das “Wunder im Osten” vollbracht, die Nazitruppe in Stalingrad und Kursk geschlagen war und die Rote Armee Richtung Berlin vorrückte, den sowjetischen Marschall Georgy Zhukow “zum besten Kommandeur in der Geschichte der Kriege.”

Dass er und seine Truppen den Löwenanteil zur Niederlage der Deutschen beigetragen hatten (und 76% der Hitlerarmee eliminiert hatten, mehr als drei Mal soviel wie USA, England und Frankreich zusammen), stellten weder Roosevelt noch  Churchill in irgendeiner Weise in Frage.  Wie verlogen es ist, wenn ihre Nachfolger im Westen 80 Jahre später diese historische Wahrheit kleinreden, um sich den Sieg allein an die Brust zu heften, lässt sich in diesem Buch nachverfolgen  – in den Worten und Bildern ihrer eigenen Berichterstatter.\ \ Ich bin froh, dass ich vor drei Jahren am 9.Mai in Moskau meine Anerkennung und Dankbarkeit  für diesen opferreichen Sieg über den Faschismus ausdrücken konnte, um  den Menschen in Russland zumindest im Rahmen der “citizen diplomacy zu zeigen, dass nicht alle Deutschen von der beschämenden Ignoranz und dem notorischen Russenhass befallen sind, den ihre Regierenden an den Tag legen. Das gilt auch für die Einwohner der anderen europäischen Länder, die nicht bereit sind, die Geschichte umzuschreiben und zu vergessen und erneut Krieg zum gegen Russland zu rüsten – und sich jetzt dem European Peace Project anschließen:

\ “Wir, die Bürger Europas, erklären diesen Krieg hiermit für beendet! Wir machen bei den Kriegsspielen nicht mit. Wir machen aus unseren Männern und Söhnen keine Soldaten, aus unseren Töchtern keine Schwestern im Lazarett und aus unseren Ländern keine Schlachtfelder. Wir bieten an, sofort eine Abordnung europäischer Bürgerinnen und Bürger nach Kiew und Moskau zu entsenden, um den Dialog zu beginnen. Wir werden nicht länger zusehen, wie unsere Zukunft und die unserer Kinder auf dem Altar der Machtpolitik geopfert wird. Es lebe Europa, es lebe der Friede, es lebe die Freiheit!”

Information ohne Reflexion ist geistiger Flugsand. \ Ernst Reinhardt

Der lateinische Ausdruck «Quo vadis» als Frage nach einer Entwicklung oder Ausrichtung hat biblische Wurzeln. Er wird aber auch in unserer Alltagssprache verwendet, laut Duden meist als Ausdruck von Besorgnis oder Skepsis im Sinne von: «Wohin wird das führen?»

Der Sinn und Zweck von so mancher politischen Entscheidung erschließt sich heutzutage nicht mehr so leicht, und viele Trends können uns Sorge bereiten. Das sind einerseits sehr konkrete Themen wie die zunehmende Militarisierung und die geschichtsvergessene Kriegstreiberei in Europa, deren Feindbildpflege aktuell beim Gedenken an das Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs beschämende Formen annimmt.

Auch das hohe Gut der Schweizer Neutralität scheint immer mehr in Gefahr. Die schleichende Bewegung der Eidgenossenschaft in Richtung NATO und damit weg von einer Vermittlerposition erhält auch durch den neuen Verteidigungsminister Anschub. Martin Pfister möchte eine stärkere Einbindung in die europäische Verteidigungsarchitektur, verwechselt bei der Argumentation jedoch Ursache und Wirkung.

Das Thema Gesundheit ist als Zugpferd für Geschäfte und Kontrolle offenbar schon zuverlässig etabliert. Die hauptsächlich privat finanzierte Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) ist dabei durch ein Netzwerk von sogenannten «Collaborating Centres» sogar so weit in nationale Einrichtungen eingedrungen, dass man sich fragen kann, ob diese nicht von Genf aus gesteuert werden.

Das Schweizer Bundesamt für Gesundheit (BAG) übernimmt in dieser Funktion ebenso von der WHO definierte Aufgaben und Pflichten wie das deutsche Robert Koch-Institut (RKI). Gegen die Covid-«Impfung» für Schwangere, die das BAG empfiehlt, obwohl es fehlende wissenschaftliche Belege für deren Schutzwirkung einräumt, formiert sich im Tessin gerade Widerstand.

Unter dem Stichwort «Gesundheitssicherheit» werden uns die Bestrebungen verkauft, essenzielle Dienste mit einer biometrischen digitalen ID zu verknüpfen. Das dient dem Profit mit unseren Daten und führt im Ergebnis zum Verlust unserer demokratischen Freiheiten. Die deutsche elektronische Patientenakte (ePA) ist ein Element mit solchem Potenzial. Die Schweizer Bürger haben gerade ein Referendum gegen das revidierte E-ID-Gesetz erzwungen. In Thailand ist seit Anfang Mai für die Einreise eine «Digital Arrival Card» notwendig, die mit ihrer Gesundheitserklärung einen Impfpass «durch die Hintertür» befürchten lässt.

Der massive Blackout auf der iberischen Halbinsel hat vermehrt Fragen dazu aufgeworfen, wohin uns Klimawandel-Hysterie und «grüne» Energiepolitik führen werden. Meine Kollegin Wiltrud Schwetje ist dem nachgegangen und hat in mehreren Beiträgen darüber berichtet. Wenig überraschend führen interessante Spuren mal wieder zu internationalen Großbanken, Globalisten und zur EU-Kommission.

Zunehmend bedenklich ist aber ganz allgemein auch die manifestierte Spaltung unserer Gesellschaften. Angesichts der tiefen und sorgsam gepflegten Gräben fällt es inzwischen schwer, eine zukunftsfähige Perspektive zu erkennen. Umso begrüßenswerter sind Initiativen wie die Kölner Veranstaltungsreihe «Neue Visionen für die Zukunft». Diese möchte die Diskussionskultur reanimieren und dazu beitragen, dass Menschen wieder ohne Angst und ergebnisoffen über kontroverse Themen der Zeit sprechen.

Quo vadis – Wohin gehen wir also? Die Suche nach Orientierung in diesem vermeintlichen Chaos führt auch zur Reflexion über den eigenen Lebensweg. Das ist positiv insofern, als wir daraus Kraft schöpfen können. Ob derweil der neue Papst, dessen «Vorgänger» Petrus unsere Ausgangsfrage durch die christliche Legende zugeschrieben wird, dabei eine Rolle spielt, muss jede/r selbst wissen. Mir persönlich ist allein schon ein Führungsanspruch wie der des Petrusprimats der römisch-katholischen Kirche eher suspekt.

Drivechain

Understanding Drivechain requires a shift from the paradigm most bitcoiners are used to. It is not about "trustlessness" or "mathematical certainty", but game theory and incentives. (Well, Bitcoin in general is also that, but people prefer to ignore it and focus on some illusion of trustlessness provided by mathematics.)

Here we will describe the basic mechanism (simple) and incentives (complex) of "hashrate escrow" and how it enables a 2-way peg between the mainchain (Bitcoin) and various sidechains.

The full concept of "Drivechain" also involves blind merged mining (i.e., the sidechains mine themselves by publishing their block hashes to the mainchain without the miners having to run the sidechain software), but this is much easier to understand and can be accomplished either by the BIP-301 mechanism or by the Spacechains mechanism.

How does hashrate escrow work from the point of view of Bitcoin?

A new address type is created. Anything that goes in that is locked and can only be spent if all miners agree on the Withdrawal Transaction (WT^) that will spend it for 6 months. There is one of these special addresses for each sidechain.

To gather miners' agreement bitcoind keeps track of the "score" of all transactions that could possibly spend from that address. On every block mined, for each sidechain, the miner can use a portion of their coinbase to either increase the score of one WT^ by 1 while decreasing the score of all others by 1; or they can decrease the score of all WT^s by 1; or they can do nothing.

Once a transaction has gotten a score high enough, it is published and funds are effectively transferred from the sidechain to the withdrawing users.

If a timeout of 6 months passes and the score doesn't meet the threshold, that WT^ is discarded.

What does the above procedure mean?

It means that people can transfer coins from the mainchain to a sidechain by depositing to the special address. Then they can withdraw from the sidechain by making a special withdraw transaction in the sidechain.

The special transaction somehow freezes funds in the sidechain while a transaction that aggregates all withdrawals into a single mainchain WT^, which is then submitted to the mainchain miners so they can start voting on it and finally after some months it is published.

Now the crucial part: the validity of the WT^ is not verified by the Bitcoin mainchain rules, i.e., if Bob has requested a withdraw from the sidechain to his mainchain address, but someone publishes a wrong WT^ that instead takes Bob's funds and sends them to Alice's main address there is no way the mainchain will know that. What determines the "validity" of the WT^ is the miner vote score and only that. It is the job of miners to vote correctly -- and for that they may want to run the sidechain node in SPV mode so they can attest for the existence of a reference to the WT^ transaction in the sidechain blockchain (which then ensures it is ok) or do these checks by some other means.

What? 6 months to get my money back?

Yes. But no, in practice anyone who wants their money back will be able to use an atomic swap, submarine swap or other similar service to transfer funds from the sidechain to the mainchain and vice-versa. The long delayed withdraw costs would be incurred by few liquidity providers that would gain some small profit from it.

Why bother with this at all?

Drivechains solve many different problems:

It enables experimentation and new use cases for Bitcoin

Issued assets, fully private transactions, stateful blockchain contracts, turing-completeness, decentralized games, some "DeFi" aspects, prediction markets, futarchy, decentralized and yet meaningful human-readable names, big blocks with a ton of normal transactions on them, a chain optimized only for Lighting-style networks to be built on top of it.

These are some ideas that may have merit to them, but were never actually tried because they couldn't be tried with real Bitcoin or inferfacing with real bitcoins. They were either relegated to the shitcoin territory or to custodial solutions like Liquid or RSK that may have failed to gain network effect because of that.

It solves conflicts and infighting

Some people want fully private transactions in a UTXO model, others want "accounts" they can tie to their name and build reputation on top; some people want simple multisig solutions, others want complex code that reads a ton of variables; some people want to put all the transactions on a global chain in batches every 10 minutes, others want off-chain instant transactions backed by funds previously locked in channels; some want to spend, others want to just hold; some want to use blockchain technology to solve all the problems in the world, others just want to solve money.

With Drivechain-based sidechains all these groups can be happy simultaneously and don't fight. Meanwhile they will all be using the same money and contributing to each other's ecosystem even unwillingly, it's also easy and free for them to change their group affiliation later, which reduces cognitive dissonance.

It solves "scaling"

Multiple chains like the ones described above would certainly do a lot to accomodate many more transactions that the current Bitcoin chain can. One could have special Lightning Network chains, but even just big block chains or big-block-mimblewimble chains or whatnot could probably do a good job. Or even something less cool like 200 independent chains just like Bitcoin is today, no extra features (and you can call it "sharding"), just that would already multiply the current total capacity by 200.

Use your imagination.

It solves the blockchain security budget issue

The calculation is simple: you imagine what security budget is reasonable for each block in a world without block subsidy and divide that for the amount of bytes you can fit in a single block: that is the price to be paid in satoshis per byte. In reasonable estimative, the price necessary for every Bitcoin transaction goes to very large amounts, such that not only any day-to-day transaction has insanely prohibitive costs, but also Lightning channel opens and closes are impracticable.

So without a solution like Drivechain you'll be left with only one alternative: pushing Bitcoin usage to trusted services like Liquid and RSK or custodial Lightning wallets. With Drivechain, though, there could be thousands of transactions happening in sidechains and being all aggregated into a sidechain block that would then pay a very large fee to be published (via blind merged mining) to the mainchain. Bitcoin security guaranteed.

It keeps Bitcoin decentralized

Once we have sidechains to accomodate the normal transactions, the mainchain functionality can be reduced to be only a "hub" for the sidechains' comings and goings, and then the maximum block size for the mainchain can be reduced to, say, 100kb, which would make running a full node very very easy.

Can miners steal?

Yes. If a group of coordinated miners are able to secure the majority of the hashpower and keep their coordination for 6 months, they can publish a WT^ that takes the money from the sidechains and pays to themselves.

Will miners steal?

No, because the incentives are such that they won't.

Although it may look at first that stealing is an obvious strategy for miners as it is free money, there are many costs involved:

1. The cost of ceasing blind-merged mining returns -- as stealing will kill a sidechain, all the fees from it that miners would be expected to earn for the next years are gone;
2. The cost of Bitcoin price going down: If a steal is successful that will mean Drivechains are not safe, therefore Bitcoin is less useful, and miner credibility will also be hurt, which are likely to cause the Bitcoin price to go down, which in turn may kill the miners' businesses and savings;
3. The cost of coordination -- assuming miners are just normal businesses, they just want to do their work and get paid, but stealing from a Drivechain will require coordination with other miners to conduct an immoral act in a way that has many pitfalls and is likely to be broken over the months;
4. The cost of miners leaving your mining pool: when we talked about "miners" above we were actually talking about mining pools operators, so they must also consider the risk of miners migrating from their mining pool to others as they begin the process of stealing;
5. The cost of community goodwill -- when participating in a steal operation, a miner will suffer a ton of backlash from the community. Even if the attempt fails at the end, the fact that it was attempted will contribute to growing concerns over exaggerated miners power over the Bitcoin ecosystem, which may end up causing the community to agree on a hard-fork to change the mining algorithm in the future, or to do something to increase participation of more entities in the mining process (such as development or cheapment of new ASICs), which have a chance of decreasing the profits of current miners.

Another point to take in consideration is that one may be inclined to think a newly-created sidechain or a sidechain with relatively low usage may be more easily stolen from, since the blind merged mining returns from it (point 1 above) are going to be small -- but the fact is also that a sidechain with small usage will also have less money to be stolen from, and since the other costs besides 1 are less elastic at the end it will not be worth stealing from these too.

All of the above consideration are valid only if miners are stealing from good sidechains. If there is a sidechain that is doing things wrong, scamming people, not being used at all, or is full of bugs, for example, that will be perceived as a bad sidechain, and then miners can and will safely steal from it and kill it, which will be perceived as a good thing by everybody.

What do we do if miners steal?

Paul Sztorc has suggested in the past that a user-activated soft-fork could prevent miners from stealing, i.e., most Bitcoin users and nodes issue a rule similar to this one to invalidate the inclusion of a faulty WT^ and thus cause any miner that includes it in a block to be relegated to their own Bitcoin fork that other nodes won't accept.

This suggestion has made people think Drivechain is a sidechain solution backed by user-actived soft-forks for safety, which is very far from the truth. Drivechains must not and will not rely on this kind of soft-fork, although they are possible, as the coordination costs are too high and no one should ever expect these things to happen.

If even with all the incentives against them (see above) miners do still steal from a good sidechain that will mean the failure of the Drivechain experiment. It will very likely also mean the failure of the Bitcoin experiment too, as it will be proven that miners can coordinate to act maliciously over a prolonged period of time regardless of economic and social incentives, meaning they are probably in it just for attacking Bitcoin, backed by nation-states or something else, and therefore no Bitcoin transaction in the mainchain is to be expected to be safe ever again.

Why use this and not a full-blown trustless and open sidechain technology?

Because it is impossible.

If you ever heard someone saying "just use a sidechain", "do this in a sidechain" or anything like that, be aware that these people are either talking about "federated" sidechains (i.e., funds are kept in custody by a group of entities) or they are talking about Drivechain, or they are disillusioned and think it is possible to do sidechains in any other manner.

No, I mean a trustless 2-way peg with correctness of the withdrawals verified by the Bitcoin protocol!

That is not possible unless Bitcoin verifies all transactions that happen in all the sidechains, which would be akin to drastically increasing the blocksize and expanding the Bitcoin rules in tons of ways, i.e., a terrible idea that no one wants.

What about the Blockstream sidechains whitepaper?

Yes, that was a way to do it. The Drivechain hashrate escrow is a conceptually simpler way to achieve the same thing with improved incentives, less junk in the chain, more safety.

Isn't the hashrate escrow a very complex soft-fork?

Yes, but it is much simpler than SegWit. And, unlike SegWit, it doesn't force anything on users, i.e., it isn't a mandatory blocksize increase.

Why should we expect miners to care enough to participate in the voting mechanism?

Because it's in their own self-interest to do it, and it costs very little. Today over half of the miners mine RSK. It's not blind merged mining, it's a very convoluted process that requires them to run a RSK full node. For the Drivechain sidechains, an SPV node would be enough, or maybe just getting data from a block explorer API, so much much simpler.

What if I still don't like Drivechain even after reading this?

That is the entire point! You don't have to like it or use it as long as you're fine with other people using it. The hashrate escrow special addresses will not impact you at all, validation cost is minimal, and you get the benefit of people who want to use Drivechain migrating to their own sidechains and freeing up space for you in the mainchain.

Europäischer Tunnelblick

In unseren Breiten sprach man schon seit jeher gerne davon, dass »Amerika den Europäern immer voraus« ist. Dass »der alte Kontinent« stets zehn Jahre im Hintertreffen ist. In der Finanzbranche attestierte man auch gerne mal einen Rückstand von »20 Jahren«. Bemängelt wurde im Rahmen solcher Analysen zumeist die mangelnde Innovationskraft europäischer Unternehmen, die gemäß einschlägiger Experten vor allem auf die Regulierungswut der hiesigen Bürokratie zurückzuführen ist. Langwierige Genehmigungsprozesse, kompliziertes Steuerrecht, zu kleine Kapitalmärkte und komplexe Datenschutzanforderungen schrecken Gründer und Investoren ab. »Bürokraten regulieren Europa zu Tode«, bringt es der Ökonom und Unternehmer Dirk Specht am 29. November 2024 auf den Punkt. Aus Sicht des Entrepreneurs eine durchaus nachvollziehbare Einordnung.

Denn selbst wenn die Hürden der Unternehmensgründung einmal überwunden sind, machen Bürokratiekosten selbst in kleinen Firmen knapp drei Prozent vom Umsatz aus. Im industriellen Mittelstand übersteigen sie nicht selten die jährliche Bruttoumsatzrendite von durchschnittlich fünfeinhalb Prozent. Von den arbeitsrechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen – siehe Kündigungsschutz, Urlaubsanspruch und Lohnfortzahlung im Krankheitsfall – gar nicht erst anzufangen. In puncto Flexibilität ist Europa für Unternehmer also tatsächlich nur bedingt attraktiv.

Ganz anders die USA. Deregulierung, Seed-Capital en Masse und ein Arbeitsrecht, das den Slogan »Hire and fire« weltberühmt machte – gemäß Tagesschau vom 11. Februar 2025 übrigens ein Modell, das dank Microsoft, Meta und SAP langsam auch in Deutschland Einzug hält. Diese unternehmerische Freiheit – oder Zügellosigkeit – machte Amerika zum Start-up-Inkubator. Zum Gründerparadies. Wall Street, Motorcity, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, et cetera. Ein Mekka für Investoren. Und ein Alptraum für Arbeitnehmer.

Alles richtig. Oberflächlich betrachtet. Dass bei dieser sehr kurzsichtigen Analyse stets außer Acht gelassen wird, welchen Anteil die beiden Weltkriege, angloamerikanische Finanzdynastien, halbseidene NGO-Netzwerke und vor allem über ein Dutzend Geheimdienste an Amerikas Wirtschaftswachstum der vergangenen 100 Jahre haben, trübt den Blick der europäischen Unternehmergarde allerdings nachhaltig. Denn er negiert den historischen Kontext. Vermutlich läuft Roger Köppels Editorial für DIE WELTWOCHE vom 01. Mai 2025 deshalb immer noch ungeniert unter dem Titel »Hoffnungsträger Trump«.

Ich habe täglich Kontakt mit Geschäftspartnern in den USA – und bei denen ist von Hoffnung nicht (mehr) viel zu spüren. Begriffe wie Planungsprobleme, Stornierung, Unsicherheit oder Lieferengpass fallen dagegen immer häufiger. Investor’s Business Daily nannte den Zustand vor wenigen Stunden »ein Erdbeben«, weil Trumps »Handelskrieg-Tsunami« nun auch die Häfen der Vereinigten Staaten erreicht hat. Die laufen langsam leer. Frachter und Tanker mit Importwaren löschen ihre Ladung nicht. Oder kommen gar nicht mehr an. Die auf Basis von Strafzöllen zu erwartenden Lieferengpässe »könnten die Folgen der Covid-Krise übertreffen«, konstatiert das Investment-Magazin.

Was also passiert gerade in den Vereinigten Staaten? Sollte Europa tatsächlich neidisch auf die vermeintlichen Wettbewerbsvorteile Amerikas sein – oder gar auf die aktuellen politischen Entwicklungen? Auf Effizienzsteigerung der Marke DOGE? Nein, keinesfalls. Denn zum einen sorgen die turbokapitalistischen Exzesse im »Land der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten« dafür, dass Arbeitnehmer endgültig zu Lohnsklaven degradiert werden, die den Launen von Märkten und Unternehmen relativ schutzlos ausgeliefert sind. Zum anderen beruht der Erfolg amerikanischer Konzerne keineswegs auf deren Innovationskraft, einem laxen Arbeitsrecht oder genialem Unternehmertum, sondern primär auf tiefenstaatlichem Interventionismus. Das gilt seit dem Jahrtausendwechsel vor allem für die Tech-Branche. Denn die USA sind nicht einfach eine Wirtschaftsmacht, sondern der militärische Arm des angloamerikanischen Empire.

Das zeigen die »Glorreichen Sieben« – Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Tesla und Nvidia – die allesamt erst durch Startfinanzierung seitens Militär und Geheimdiensten wurden, was sie heute sind: Die Speerspitze des technokratischen Totalitarismus. Nachdem selbst The Economist am 10. Dezember 2024 feststellte, dass mit der Wiederwahl von Donald Trump nun »die PayPal-Mafia die US-Regierung übernimmt«, sollte man in unseren Bereiten also eventuell etwas kritischer begutachten, was die entsprechenden Konzerne dort treiben. Denn es ist angesichts von Agenda 2030, aktuellen EU-Programmen, EZB-Planungen und einer Kriegswirtschaft kolportierenden Bundesregierung unter BlackRock-Merz nicht davon auszugehen, dass es dieses Mal zehn oder zwanzig Jahre dauert, bis diese Entwicklungen auch bei uns ankommen.

Palantir & DOGE

Das bezieht sich insbesondere auf Elon Musks DOGE – das »Department of Government Efficiency« – eine neu geschaffene Behörde, die sich auf Effizienzsteigerung in Sachen Regierungsgeschäfte konzentrieren soll. Dies selbstredend unter flächendeckender Zuhilfenahme von KI (Künstlicher Intelligenz), die wiederum auf entsprechende Datenpools angewiesen ist. Um solche kurzfristig zur Verfügung zu stellen, durchforstet, hackt und kapert Musks DOGE-Team die IT-Abteilungen, Server und Netzwerke von Ministerien und Bundesbehörden. Vor allem auf Finanzdaten hat man es abgesehen. An geltendes Recht hält sich DOGE dabei nicht. Datenschützer sind alarmiert. Und Whistleblower werden von Musks Team bedroht. All das passiert in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Oracle, einem weiteren von der CIA startfinanzierten IT-Riesen – und natürlich Palantir, dem von Peter Thiel gegründeten Spionage- und Killerkonzern.

So berichtete Reuters am 6. Mai 2025 beispielsweise über ein neues Gemeinschaftsprojekt von Elon Musks xAI und Palantir, das die Nutzung der jeweiligen KI-Lösungen im Finanzsektor vorantreiben will – dies, nachdem xAI, BlackRock und Microsoft bereits im März ein neues Konsortium zur Erweiterung von KI-Infrastruktur ins Leben riefen. Im Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ist DOGE aktuell damit beschäftigt, das IDENT-System des »Office of Biometric Identity Management« (OBIM) zu übernehmen – die weltweit größte Datenbank für biometrische Informationen, die von praktisch allen US-Behörden aber auch internationalen Partnern genutzt wird. Zusammengeführt werden sollen die von DOGE gekaperten Daten in HART (Homeland Advanced Recognition Technology System), einem neuen, mit über sechs Milliarden US-Dollar budgetierten Überwachungssystem des DHS, das in Kollaboration mit Palantir-Programmen die flächendeckende Überwachung der Bevölkerung analog zu China ermöglichen wird.

Palantir wurde 2003 gegründet und arbeitet seither, das belegt eine 2013 geleakte Kundenliste, für mindestens 12 US-Regierungseinrichtungen: CIA, DHS, NSA, FBI, CDC, Special Operations Command, et cetera. Schon vor knapp zehn Jahren häuften sich Berichte – wie zum Beispiel von WIRED am 9. August 2017 – die belegten, dass Palantir die vermeintlich vertraulichen Daten, die zum Beispiel Polizisten in Los Angeles seit 2009 in Datenbanken des Konzerns erfassen, kopiert, verkauft und zweckentfremdet. Dass Palantir das rechtsextreme, zionistische Regime von Benjamin Netanjahu bei seinem Genozid in Gaza unterstützt, ist ebenfalls kein Geheimnis mehr. Die strategische Partnerschaft zwischen Thiels Tötungsmaschine und den IDF wurde nach Berichten von Bloomberg vom 12. Januar 2024 gar ausgeweitet. Gideon Levy bescheinigt seinem Land in einem Beitrag der Haaretz vom 19. Januar 2025, in Gaza den »ersten faschistischen Krieg« seiner Geschichte zu führen. Womit wir wieder bei Palantir und den Vereinigten Staaten wären.

Denn wie ich bereits in meinem Artikel über Thiel vom 22. September 2024 in Aussicht gestellt hatte, kommt dem gebürtigen Frankfurter eine ganz besondere Rolle in Trumps neuer Regierung zu. Vom »Paten« der PayPal-Mafia und Geheimdienst-Frontmann zum Palantir-Boss und Bilderberg-Leitungsmitglied – und nun einflussreichsten Mann hinter der US-Regierung. Ohne Peter Thiels finanzielle Unterstützung wäre JD Vance weder Geschäftsmann noch Senator in Ohio oder US-Vizepräsident geworden. So verwundert es kaum, dass Palantir bereits 100 Tage nach Donald Trumps Amtsantritt Zugriff auf sämtliche Steuer-, Gesundheits- und Bewegungsdaten der US-Bevölkerung hat und diese in einer Datenbank zusammenführt, um seine KI darauf anzusetzen. Selbst die Speicher von Smartwatches und Fitness-Armbändern werden angezapft. Kein Datensatz ist mehr tabu.

Wie diese Daten künftig verwendet werden – und zwar gegen alles und jeden – zeigt eine von Palantir entwickelte Software namens »ImmigrationOS«. Ein System, das der US-Regierung hilft, das Leben von Migranten zu durchleuchten und permanent zu überwachen. Inklusive biografischer, biometrischer und Geolokationsdaten. Die auf Basis dieser Daten entwickelten Empfehlungen nutzt das ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), um Menschen in die an Massentierhaltung erinnernden Supermax-Gefängnisse von El Salvador abzuschieben. Für Deportationen ohne Beweise, Anhörung, Gerichtsverhandlung und Rechtsgrundlage. Eine in dieser Form fraglos verfassungsfeindliche Ausweitung des »Catch and Revoke« Programms, dem anstelle illegaler Einwanderer nun auch Doktoranden, Studenten oder unbescholtene Arbeitnehmer zum Opfer fallen – siehe der Fall Kilmar Abrego Garcia – vor allem solche, die den Völkermord in Gaza kritisieren.

Es dürfte derweil nur eine Frage der Zeit sein, bis das zugrundliegende, am 30. April 2025 verabschiedete »Antisemitismus-Gesetz« auf weitere unliebsame Personenkreise angewendet wird. Der Bundesstaat Alabama lässt sich bereits von der fragwürdigen Deportationspraxis Washingtons inspirieren und kündigte in Person des Republikaners Chris Sells am 1. Mai 2025 an, selbst ein Gesetz erlassen zu wollen, das die Abschiebung verurteilter Personen ins Ausland ermöglicht. Gemäß Sells wolle man mit dem Gesetzesvorschlag nur ein Zeichen setzen. Mit einer Verabschiedung rechne man nicht. Trump verkündete unterdes, neben Migranten künftig auch US-Bürger und Ureinwohner nach El Salvador verfrachten zu wollen. Verfassungsrechtlich ein absolutes Tabu. Bisher.

The Atlantic nennt diese Entwicklungen am 27. April 2025 ein »amerikanisches Panoptikum«. Zu Recht. Denn Palantirs zentralisierter Datenpool wird sich zum mächtigsten Unterdrückungsinstrument der Zivilisationsgeschichte auswachsen – und in nicht allzu ferner Zukunft auch gegen jene MAGA-Anhänger eingesetzt werden, die solch faschistoide Vorgänge derzeit noch bejubeln. Gegen das, was da auf uns zukommt, waren Corona-Tracking und 2G-Segregation geradezu harmlos.

Entsprechend hellhörig sollte es machen, dass die NATO Palantirs KI-Lösungen – genauer: die »Maven AI« – künftig für militärische Planungszwecke einsetzt, wie eine Presseerklärung des »Verteidigungsbündnisses« vom 14. April 2025 ausführt. Denn »Project Maven« ist auf ein Memorandum des US-Verteidigungsministeriums vom 26. April 2017 zurückzuführen und hatte zum Ziel, ein »funktionsübergreifendes Team für algorithmische Kriegsführung« zu schaffen. Unterstützt wurde das US-Militär dabei zunächst von Google. Also dem Unternehmen, das einst unter dem Motto »Don’t be evil« – Sei nicht böse! – angetreten war. Begleitet wurde Googles Engagement für Project Maven von einem massiven Aufruhr in der Belegschaft und Artikelüberschriften wie »Hey Google, wen soll die US-Regierung heute töten?«. Offene Briefe an Google-Chef Sundar Pichai forderten 2018, der IT-Konzern solle die Partnerschaft mit dem Pentagon unverzüglich beenden. Und das tat Google auch.

Project Maven lief natürlich trotzdem weiter. Wie Breaking Defense am 27. April 2022 ausführte, wurde das Vorhaben nach Googles Rückzug der NGA (National Geospatial Intelligence Agency) unterstellt und gemäß Informationen des Forbes Magazine fortan von Eric Schmidt (Google, Bilderberg), Peter Thiel und James Murdoch, dem jüngeren Sohn von Rupert Murdoch finanziert. Maven AI ist das KI-Flaggschiff des US-Militärs – und wird jetzt als Palantir-Produkt weltweit ausgerollt. Vorboten sind in Hessen, Bayern und Nordrhein-Westfalen bereits im Einsatz und dürften angesichts der Iden des Merz wohl bald bundesweit Verwendung finden. Es ist also keineswegs übertrieben, wenn der US-Journalist Derrick Broze am 24. April 2025 von der »Palantir World Order« spricht – einem überstaatlichen Herrschaftssystem, das zuvorderst aufgrund seiner auf zwielichtigen bis illegalen Akkumulationsprozessen basierenden Deutungs- und Interventionshoheit in puncto Big Data fußt. Getreu dem Palantir-Slogan: »Die Software ist das Waffensystem«. Selbst eine in der ARD-Mediathek abrufbare Doku des NDR über Palantir von 10. Juni 2024 läuft unter dem eindeutigen Titel »Eine Software, die töten kann«.

Ja, das Geschäft mit dem industriell-digitalisierten Auftragsmord boomt. Denn internationale Konflikte nehmen zu und die Observationsökonomie erlebt einen Quantensprung. Entsprechend profitabel fiel das erste Quartal 2025 für Thiels Unternehmen aus. Stolze 884 Millionen US-Dollar stellte man Kunden in Rechnung. Ein Wachstum von 39 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahr und 21,7 Millionen mehr als prognostiziert. Am 5. Mai 2025 gab die Palantir Aktie zwar um 15 Prozent nach – laut Analysten könnte die Aktie aber auch um 70 Prozent fallen und wäre immer noch die teuerste Marke unter Softwareanbietern in diesem Segment.

Das sollte zu denken geben. Denn die USA durchlaufen eine Metamorphose – weg von demokratischen Strukturen und hin zur »Algokratie«. Die PayPal-Mafia hat das Weiße Haus gekapert und demonstriert dem Wertewesten, was er im Zuge der vierten industriellen Revolution zu erwarten hat: Tech-Feudalismus, dessen Oligarchen sich aufgrund vermeintlicher Sachzwänge schamlos über Recht und Gesetz hinwegsetzen. Nicht von ungefähr hat Donald Trump in seinen ersten 100 Amtstagen bereits 141 »Exekutive Orders« unterzeichnet. Ohne dabei auch nur einmal das Repräsentantenhaus einzubeziehen oder demokratische Prozesse zu respektieren. In diesem Lichte betrachtet erscheint das Cover des TIME Magazine vom Juni 2018, auf dem »The Donald« als König abgebildet war – Titel: »King me« – heute zeitgemäßer denn je.

Dunkle Aufklärung

Und das ist kein Zufall. Wirft man nämlich einen Blick auf die philosophischen Konzepte, die Menschen wie Peter Thiel, JD Vance oder Elon Musk inspirieren, zeigt sich, dass die entsprechenden Pamphlete genau das fordern: Eine postmoderne Version von Monarchie. Einen CEO, der das Land führt wie einen Großkonzern. Mittels KI – und auf Basis des amerikanischen Arbeitsrechts natürlich. Vielsagend, dass Donald Trump am 19. April 2025 auf Twitter ankündigte, exakt das tun zu wollen:

»Das ist gesunder Menschenverstand und wird ermöglichen, dass die Bundesregierung endlich „wie ein Unternehmen geführt wird“.«

Dass Trump den letzten Teil des Satzes in Anführungszeichen setzt, impliziert, dass er jemanden zitiert. Von wem die Phrase stammt, lässt er allerdings offen. Der US-Präsident scheint jedenfalls den Ratschlägen seines Vize JD Vance zu folgen, der bereits am 17. September 2021 in einem Interview mit dem Jack Murphy Podcast sagte:

»Was Trump tun sollte, wenn ich ihm einen Ratschlag geben dürfte: Feuere jeden einzelnen Bürokraten der mittleren Leitungsebene, jeden Beamten in der Verwaltung, und ersetze ihn mit unseren Leuten. Und wenn man dich dafür verklagt, wenn dich die Gerichte aufhalten wollen – denn man wird dich dafür verklagen – stell dich vor das Land, so wie Andrew Jackson, und sag den Menschen, dass der oberste Entscheidungsträger sein Urteil bereits gefällt hat. Jetzt lasst es ihn auch umsetzen.«

Und so geschah es. Denn als der Oberste Gerichtshof der Vereinigten Staaten am 19. April 2025 entschied, dass die juristisch fragwürdigen Deportationen zu stoppen sind, schrieb Donald Trump auf Twitter:

»Ich wurde unter anderem gewählt, um schlechte Menschen aus den Vereinigten Staaten zu entfernen. Ich muss meine Arbeit tun dürfen.«

Damit stellt sich Trump offen gegen die höchste juristische Instanz des Landes und fordert, trotz eines geltenden Urteils weitermachen zu können. Für dieses Vorgehen sucht er Rückhalt in der Bevölkerung. Er will die Gerichte unter Druck zu setzen, um regieren zu können wie ein Monarch. So, wie es die Vordenker der »Neoreaktionären Bewegung« (NRx) – zumeist »Dunkle Aufklärung« genannt – vorschlagen. Bei dieser politischen Philosophie handelt es sich selbst laut Wikipedia um ein »antidemokratisches, antiegalitäres, reaktionäres und neofeudales Konzept«. Geprägt wurde es von einem etwas kauzig anmutenden Blogger namens Curtis Yarvin, der auf seiner Webseite »Unqualified Reservations« ab 2007 und unter dem Pseudonym Mencius Moldbug Texte über das Versagen der Demokratie und Theorien zu alternativen Herrschaftsformen publizierte.

Weiterentwickelt wurden diese Konzepte unter anderem von Nick Land, einem britischen Schriftsteller, der als Vater des »Akzelerationismus« gilt und mit einem Blog-Beitrag aus dem Jahr 2013 auch den Begriff »Dunkle Aufklärung« für Yarvins Theorien aufbrachte. In seinen späteren Texten redete der Brite einem »wissenschaftlichen Rassismus«, der Eugenik und dem von ihm geprägten Begriff »Hyperrassismus« das Wort. Bei der rechtsnationalistischen bis rechtsextremen Alt-Right-Bewegung stieß er damit auf offene Ohren. Die deutsche Publikation »nd – Journalismus von Links« findet diesen »Philosophen der digitalen Entgrenzung« in einem Beitrag vom 21. Mai 2023 aber trotzdem »interessant«. Dass Nick Land gerne Amphetamin konsumiert und eine Weile im Haus des 1947 verstorbenen Satanisten Aleister Crowley lebte, scheint nd-Autor Konstantin Jahn eher Bewunderung abzuringen. Seinem ehemaligen Arbeitgeber, The New Center for Research & Practice, allerdings nicht – der setzte Land am 29. März 2017 wegen rassistischer Umtriebe vor die Tür.

Von Curtis Yarvin war nach der Einstellung seines Blogs im Jahr 2016 unterdes nicht mehr viel zu hören. Bis jetzt. Denn anno 2025 schreibt plötzlich die Financial Times über »die Philosophie hinter Trumps Dunkler Aufklärung«. Ebenso die New York Times, die Yarvin im Januar 2025 zum großen Interview für eine Titelstory bat. Selbst der Bayrische Rundfunk schrieb am 23. März 2025 über den einst nur Insidern bekannten Blogger. Und natürlich Politico, wo am 30. Januar 2025 ein Artikel über Yarvin erschien. Aufmacher: »Curtis Yarvins Ideen waren Randerscheinungen. Jetzt verbreiten sie sich in Trumps Washington«. Im Zuge seines Textes beschreibt Autor Ian Ward, wie Yarvin nach Washington reiste, um auf Einladung des Trump-Teams an der pompösen Inaugurationsfeier teilzunehmen, wo er unter anderem mit dem ehemaligen Thiel-Angestellten JD Vance sprach, der die politischen Theorien von Yarvin mehrfach bei öffentlichen Auftritten lobte, zitierte und als wichtigen Einfluss auf sein Denken nannte. Im Gespräch mit Ward führte Yarvin aus, dass er Trump gegenüber zunächst skeptisch gewesen sei, weil er sich nicht sicher war, ob Trump den von ihm empfohlenen Regimewechsel überhaupt durchziehen könne.

Zwischenzeitlich habe sich jedoch Optimismus eingestellt, so Yarvin, denn man könne in Trumps Kabinett eine »neugewonnene Selbstsicherheit und Aggressivität« spüren. Kein Wunder, besteht es doch in weiten Teilen aus Protegés, Kollegen, Geschäftspartnern und Freunden von Peter Thiel – zu letzteren gehört nach Aussage von Thiel übrigens auch der neue Chef der NIH (National Institutes of Health), Jay Bhattacharya, der zuvor unter anderem bei der Hoover Institution sowie der RAND Corporation tätig war. Aufgabenbereich: Demographie und Ökonomie von Gesundheit und Altern mit Schwerpunkt auf Regierungsprogrammen und biomedizinischer Innovation.

Wer sich mit Thiel beschäftigt hat, wird kaum überrascht sein, dass der in Frankfurt geborene Milliardär Anhänger der »Dunklen Aufklärung« ist. Schon im Mai 2016 schrieb Curtis Yarvin eine E-Mail an einen Bekannten und erklärte: »Ich coache Thiel«. Der brauche aber deutlich weniger politische Orientierungshilfe als gedacht, so Yarvin. »Ich habe die Wahlen in seinem Haus angeschaut. Ich glaube, mein Hangover dauerte bis Dienstag. Er (Thiel) ist völlig aufgeklärt, geht aber sehr vorsichtig vor«, konstatiert Yarvin in seiner Mail. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt stand der dunkle Aufklärer auch in Kontakt mit dem technischen Redakteur von Breitbart News, dem seinerzeit wichtigsten Sprachrohr von Trumps ehemaligem Chefstrategen Steve Bannon, »dem Medien-Baron der Alt-Right-Bewegung«, der sich ebenfalls an Yarvins Konzepten orientierte, dessen Bücher öffentlich empfahl und maßgeblich dazu beitrug, dass Donald Trump die Wahl gegen Hillary »Body Count« Clinton gewann.

Nach Angaben von BuzzFeed News stand auch Peter Thiel 2016 in Kontakt mit besagtem Breitbart-Redakteur. In einem Podcast auftreten, wollte er allerdings nicht. »Lass uns einfach Kaffee holen und dann schauen, was wir machen«, antwortete der Palantir-Gründer im Mai auf eine Interview-Einladung von Breitbart. Und im Juni lud Thiel den Breitbart-Mitarbeiter zum Abendessen in sein Haus in den Hollywood Hills ein. Man darf davon ausgehen, dass es bei diesen Gesprächen um finanzielle Unterstützung von Breitbart News, beziehungsweise der Alt-Right-Bewegung ging. Sprich, um Stimmungsmache für Trump.

Im Wahlkampf 2024 war Thiel weniger zurückhaltend. JD Vance hatte seinen Gönner ja auch bereits im August 2024 via Forbes Magazine dazu aufgerufen, »die Seitenlinie zu verlassen und für Trump zu spenden«. Kurz darauf überwies der Exil-Deutsche mindestens 1,25 Millionen Dollar. Die Betonung liegt auf mindestens. Denn als JD Vance 2022 für den Senat kandidierte, spendete Thiel ganze 15 Millionen US-Dollar für dessen Kampagne. Für manch einen vorausschauenden Journalisten war deshalb schon im Sommer 2024 klar: »Donald Trump ist Peter Thiels erfolgreichstes Investment«.

»Letztes Jahr veröffentlichte der Journalist Max Chafkin eine Biografie über Thiel (…), in der er Yarvin als den politischen Philosophen (…) für ein Netzwerk bezeichnete, das man als Thiel-Verse kennt. Das Buch erklärt, wie Thiel sowohl Cruz als auch Josh Hawley auf ihrem Weg in den Senat half. Es endet mit einem düsteren Bild des Milliardärs, der versucht, seinen politischen Einfluss immer offener auszuweiten (…). Masters und Vance unterscheiden sich von Hawley und Cruz, schreibt Chafkin – erstere sind verlängerte Arme von Thiel«.

Das konnte man in der Vanity Fair am 20. April 2022 über Thiels Bemühungen lesen, sich politischen Einfluss für Trumps zweite Amtsperiode zu sichern. Unter der Überschrift »Im Inneren der Neuen Rechten – wo Peter Thiel seine größten Einsätze platziert« erklärt das Blatt: »Sie sind nicht MAGA. Sie sind nicht QAnon. Curtis Yarvin und die aufstrebende Rechte entwickeln eine andere Form konservativer Politik«.

So stellt sich an dieser Stelle unweigerlich die Frage: Was für eine Politik soll das sein? Warum verkünden Thiel-Weggefährten wie Elon Musk stolz, »nicht nur MAGA, sondern Dark MAGA« zu sein?  Was fordern »Akzelerationismus« und »Dunkle Aufklärung«? Wie sieht der von Yarvin, Land, Thiel, Vance, Trump, Musk und Co. avisierte Soll-Zustand aus?

Auf den Punkt bringt das ein Akronym, das Curtis Yarvin seit 2012 benutzt: RAGE. Es steht für »Retire All Government Employees«, übersetzt also dafür, alle Regierungsmitarbeiter zu entlassen. Auch der von Thiel finanzierte Republikaner Blake Masters nutzte das Akronym schon öffentlich. Nur so könne man das amerikanische »Regime« stürzen. »Was wir brauchen«, so Yarvin, »ist ein nationaler CEO – oder das, was man einen Diktator nennt«. Die Amerikaner müssten ihre »Diktatoren-Phobie« überwinden, damit das Land »wie ein Start-up geführt werden kann«. Nach Ansicht von The Brooklyn Rail ist das mittlerweile der Fall. Denn am 30. Januar 2025 veröffentlichte das Medienportal einen Artikel, in dem Autor David Levi Strauss erklärt, die US-Bevölkerung akzeptiere nun endlich »die Idee, dass das Land von einem CEO und wie ein Konzern oder eine Diktatur geführt werden müsse, weil sie – wie Peter Thiel schon 2009 erklärte – nicht mehr daran glauben, dass Freiheit und Demokratie kompatibel sind«.

Ob Akzelerationismus, Neoreaktionäre Bewegung oder Dunkle Aufklärung, sie alle plädieren für eine Rückkehr zu traditionellen gesellschaftlichen Konstrukten und Regierungsformen, inklusive des absoluten Monarchismus. Dafür soll der Staat in eine private Aktiengesellschaft umgewandelt werden, in welcher dem Geschäftsführer absolute Macht zukommt. Gleichheit lehnen alle drei Strömungen als politisches Ziel ab. Stattdessen verfolgt man rationalistische oder utilaristische Konzepte sozialer Schichtung, die auf Erbmerkmalen oder Leistungsprinzipien beruhen – sprich, auf den Grundgedanken der Eugenik.

Diese neue Regierungsform, »Gov-Corp«, wie der britische Journalist Iain Davis das Modell in seinen betreffenden Artikeln und einem lesenswerten Zweiteiler betitelt, wird aufgrund der ihr zur Verfügung stehenden Technologie eine nie gekannte Machtfülle besitzen – eine Machtfülle, die sich aufgrund genau dieser Technologie mit Leichtigkeit als liberale Marktwirtschaft vermarkten lässt. Als rationales, effizientes und individuelle Freiheit suggerierendes Modell zur Steuerung von Staat, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Obwohl man als Bürger – oder sagt man besser Kunde, Mitarbeiter oder Bilanzposition? – vertraglich verpflichtet wird, seine Rechte an die herrschende Konzernstruktur zu übertragen. Analog zu den Bewohnern von Peter Thiels »Start-up City« Próspera – die derzeit versucht, ihr Gastland Honduras mit einer erfolgsversprechenden Klage im Wert von 10,7 Milliarden US-Dollar in den Staatsbankrott zu treiben.

Universelle Menschenrechte sind im Gov-Corp-Modell jedenfalls nicht vorgesehen. Wenn neoreaktionäre Theoretiker wie Curtis Yarvin von »Exit« sprechen, also vom Verlassen demokratischer Strukturen, stellen sie gleichzeitig eine »Opt-in-Society« in Aussicht. Was vordergründig erst einmal gut klingt, soll man sich die Serviceangebote des Staates doch nach eigenen Bedürfnissen konfigurieren dürfen, entpuppt sich schnell als totalitäres wie inhumanes Konstrukt. Als Tech-Feudalismus. Denn für diejenigen, die in der »sozialen Schichtung« untere Ränge bekleiden, sich die Serviceangebote von Gov-Corp nicht leisten können oder den Chef kritisieren, wird es rasch ungemütlich. Siehe Supermax-Gefängnisse.

Dementsprechend zurückhaltend sollte man sein, wenn verheißungsvolle Begriffe wie Freedom Cities, Charter Cities, Start-up Cities oder »Network State« fallen. Denn gerade letzterer steht für nichts anderes als die finale Ausbaustufe von Gov-Corp. Für ein Netzwerk autonomer Städte, die jeweils von einem eigenen CEO mit absolutistischer Macht geführt werden. Sprich, für einen Zusammenschluss kleiner Königreiche – oder Niederlassungen – eines Konzerns namens Regierung. Das Konzept Netzwerk-Staat ist in dieser Form Balaji Srinivasan zuzuschreiben, dem ehemaligen CTO von Coinbase und Partner von Andreessen Horowitz. Sein im Juli 2022 veröffentlichtes Buch »The Network State« beschreibt auf fast 500 Seiten, wie »der Nachfolger des Nationalstaats« aussehen soll. Eine unausgegorene Spinnerei ist das Ganze also nicht mehr. Im Gegenteil. Srinivasan gründete extra einen Fond, um das Konzept Netzwerk-Staat voranzutreiben und wird dabei von diversen Tech-Milliardären unterstützt.

Vor diesem Hintergrund verwundert es nicht, dass Netscape-Gründer Marc Andreessen bereits Anfang Oktober 2013 prognostizierte, dass »es in den kommenden Jahren doppelt so viele, oder drei oder vier Mal so viele Länder geben wird«. Andreessens »Techno-Optimist Manifesto« vom 16. Oktober 2023 erwähnt zwar weder Yarvin noch Land oder Srinivasan, aber es outet den Verfasser als eingefleischten Akzelerationisten – und als Fan des Transhumanisten Ray Kurzweil.

Für Außenstehende mag Srinivasans Konzept abseitig anmuten. Aber es zog Kreise. Selbst die New York Times berichtete am 28. Oktober 2013 über eine Rede des bekennenden Staatsfeinds bei der Silicon Valley »Startup School«. Der entsprechende Artikel eröffnet mit dem Worten: »Silicon Valley aufgeschreckt von Sezessionsruf. Erst die Sklavenhalter im Süden, jetzt das. Versucht Silicon Valley, sich von Amerika abzuspalten?«. Während das Nachrichtenportal TechCrunch die »Dunkle Aufklärung« Ende 2013 noch als Bewegung von Nerds abtat, die eine Monarchie fordern, sprach man beim britischen Telegraph im Januar 2014 bereits von »anspruchsvollem Neo-Faschismus«.

Die Granden der Big-Tech-Branche wissen seit über einem Jahrzehnt, dass ihr digital-finanzieller Komplex die Welt beherrscht und sie mittels Disruption jede andere Industrie zum Handlanger degradiert haben. Dementsprechend selbstbewusst treten ihre Vordenker, Theoretiker und Philosophen auf. Nicht umsonst teilt auch Patri Friedman, Enkel des Nobelpreisträgers Milton Friedman, neoreaktionäre Positionen – auch wenn er sich 2009 mit Yarvin überwarf, seither »eine politisch korrektere dunkle Aufklärung« fordert und nun eigene Freedom Cities auf schwimmenden Plattformen in internationalen Gewässern schaffen will. Dafür gründete er 2019 Pronomos Capital, ein Unternehmen, das über 13 Millionen US-Dollar von Thiel, Srinivasan und Andreessen erhielt, Próspera finanziert und ähnliche Projekte in Afrika, Südostasien und Palau im Portfolio hat.

Die omnipräsente Konstante: Peter Thiel – der nicht nur in Firmen von Yarvin, Srinivasan oder Friedman investiert, sondern Donald Trump auch bei der Auswahl von Kabinettsmitgliedern beriet. So kam es, dass Thiels Kumpel Srinivasan sogar im Gespräch für den Chefposten der FDA (Food and Drug Administration) war. Eine hochrangige Position im Staatsapparat. Erstaunlich, erinnert man sich an dessen staatsfeindliche Rede bei der »Startup School«. Die Japan Times findet am 19. Juni 2024 passende Worte für diese Vorgänge:

»Es wird immer deutlicher: Führende Techno-Libertäre (…) sind nur insoweit gegen den Staat, als er sie nicht persönlich bereichert. Angesichts der Aussicht, dass die Regierung zu einem Großkunden wird, löst sich der einst prinzipielle Widerstand gegen die Staatsmacht auf. Dieser Wandel lässt sich auch bei Thiel selbst beobachten. 2009 erklärte er, dass die große Aufgabe für Libertäre darin bestehe, Politik in all ihren Formen zu entkommen. Doch 2016 engagierte sich Thiel voll und ganz für Parteipolitik und hielt eine Rede auf dem Parteitag der Republikaner. Inzwischen ist Palantir, das von ihm mitgegründete Datenanalyseunternehmen, zu einem Giganten herangewachsen und profitiert von riesigen Regierungsaufträgen. Fast die Hälfte seiner Einnahmen stammt mittlerweile aus öffentlichen Mitteln.«

Keine Frage: Peter Thiel ist Dreh- und Angelpunkt hinter der neuen US-Regierung. Der Pate der PayPal-Mafia ist der mächtigste Mann in Washington und Palantir die treibende Kraft hinter dem digitalen Panoptikum, das sich dort derzeit formiert. Und was Elon Musk als DOGE verkauft, erinnert im Kern an RAGE. Selbst das TIME Magazine stellt anhand der bislang 30.000 gefeuerten Regierungsmitarbeiter fest, dass die Vorgehensweise von Trump und Co. keineswegs Zufall ist, sondern exakt der Programmatik von Yarvins »Dunkler Aufklärung« folgt. Nur in unseren Breiten tut man sich immer noch schwer damit, das zu erkennen – oder einräumen zu wollen.

Dafür gibt es zwei Gründe. Erstens: Bis dato hat kein deutschsprachiger Journalist ausführlich über diese Zusammenhänge berichtet und den notwendigen Kontext hergestellt. Zweitens: Ist man vom herrschenden System enttäuscht und stößt bei der Suche nach Alternativen auf die Analysen von Yarvin oder Srinivasan, wirken diese wie Balsam in den Ohren, geht man als Kritiker des übermächtigen und -griffigen Staates doch in weiten Teilen mit deren Einordnung aktueller Probleme konform. Selbst die Lösungsvorschläge der dunklen Aufklärer wirken plausibel. Zumindest theoretisch. Mehr Autonomie, Dezentralität, Effizienz, Prosperität – und viel weniger Staat. Klingt attraktiv. Vor allem im Vergleich mit dem kollektivistischen Wohlfahrtspaternalismus der vergangenen Dekaden.

Die Rattenfänger aus dem Silicon Valley erzählen dem enttäuschten und von Politik angewiderten Demos, was er hören will. Im Bereich Neuro-Linguistisches Programmieren (NLP) nennt man das die Echo-Technik. Sie sorgt dafür, dass sich das Gegenüber wahr- und ernstgenommen fühlt. Dass es sich öffnet. Das funktioniert erstaunlich gut. Bis man sich anschaut, woher das Geld kommt und wohin die Daten fließen. Bis man erkennt, dass solch ein System, die Algokratie, für deutlich mehr Zentralisierung steht – für mehr Staat, für Datenzentren von Tech-Despoten und interoperable Blockchain-Plattformen von Finanzkartellen. Für einen digitalen Gulag und Gewalt gegen Andersdenkende. Für die Abschaffung universeller Menschenrechte.

Sicher. Man weiß nicht, ob die »Dunkle Aufklärung«, ob Akzelerationismus und ein Netzwerk-Staat mit CEO – oder »Diktator« – nicht vielleicht besser funktionieren als Demokratie. Manch einer denkt, man könne es ja mal versuchen. Das wollte auch der Anarcho-Kapitalist Jeff Berwick, alias The Dollar Vigilante. Im März 2025 reiste er nach Honduras, um sich Próspera anzuschauen und anschließend für das Freedom-City-Projekt zu werben. Doch ein paar Tage vor der mit der Stadtverwaltung abgestimmten Visite und Führung erhielt er eine E-Mail vom Rechtsanwalt des Unternehmens, der ihm zu seiner Überraschung mitteilte, er dürfe nun doch nicht anreisen – und hätte ab sofort generelles Zutrittsverbot für das Gelände der »Sonderentwicklungszone«. Wahrscheinlich fand die Presseabteilung von Próspera bei der vorbereitenden Überprüfung seiner Person heraus, dass Jeff Berwick von Technokratie, Zionismus, Krieg, Trump, Vance und auch der PayPal-Mafia nicht allzu viel hält. Er bezeichnet sich nämlich als »Verschwörungsrealist« – und war auf der Suche nach Freiheit. Die ist aber offenbar auch in Próspera Mangelware.

For generations before generative text, writers have used the em dash to hop between thoughts, emotions, and ideas. Dickens shaped his morality tales with it, Woolf’s stream-of-consciousness flowed through it, Kerouac let it drive his jazz-like prose. Today, Sally Rooney threads it through her quiet truths of the heart.

---

---

But this beloved punctuation mark has become a casualty of the algorithmic age. The em dash has been so widely adopted by AI-generated text that even when used by human hands, it begs the question: was this actually written or apathetically prompted?

---

---

The battle for the soul of writing is in full swing. And the human fightback starts here. With a new punctuation mark that serves as a symbol of real pondering, genuine daydreaming, and true editorial wordsmithery. Inspired by Descartes’ belief that thinking makes us human, the am dash is a small but powerful testament that the words you’ve painstakingly and poetically pulled together are unequivocally, certifiably, and delightfully your own.

Parallel Chains

We want merged-mined blockchains. We want them because it is possible to do things in them that aren't doable in the normal Bitcoin blockchain because it is rightfully too expensive, but there are other things beside the world money that could benefit from a "distributed ledger" -- just like people believed in 2013 --, like issued assets and domain names (just the most obvious examples).

On the other hand we can't have -- like people believed in 2013 -- a copy of Bitcoin for every little idea with its own native token that is mined by proof-of-work and must get off the ground from being completely valueless into having some value by way of a miracle that operated only once with Bitcoin.

It's also not a good idea to have blockchains with custom merged-mining protocol (like Namecoin and Rootstock) that require Bitcoin miners to run their software and be an active participant and miner for that other network besides Bitcoin, because it's too cumbersome for everybody.

Luckily Ruben Somsen invented this protocol for blind merged-mining that solves the issue above. Although it doesn't solve the fact that each parallel chain still needs some form of "native" token to pay miners -- or it must use another method that doesn't use a native token, such as trusted payments outside the chain.

How does it work

With the SIGHASH_NOINPUT/SIGHASH_ANYPREVOUT soft-fork[^eltoo] it becomes possible to create presigned transactions that aren't related to any previous UTXO.

Then you create a long sequence of transactions (sufficient to last for many many years), each with an nLockTime of 1 and each spending the next (you create them from the last to the first). Since their scriptSig (the unlocking script) will use SIGHASH_ANYPREVOUT you can obtain a transaction id/hash that doesn't include the previous TXO, you can, for example, in a sequence of transactions A0-->B (B spends output 0 from A), include the signature for "spending A0 on B" inside the scriptPubKey (the locking script) of "A0".

With the contraption described above it is possible to make that long string of transactions everybody will know (and know how to generate) but each transaction can only be spent by the next previously decided transaction, no matter what anyone does, and there always must be at least one block of difference between them.

Then you combine it with RBF, SIGHASH_SINGLE and SIGHASH_ANYONECANPAY so parallel chain miners can add inputs and outputs to be able to compete on fees by including their own outputs and getting change back while at the same time writing a hash of the parallel block in the change output and you get everything working perfectly: everybody trying to spend the same output from the long string, each with a different parallel block hash, only the highest bidder will get the transaction included on the Bitcoin chain and thus only one parallel block will be mined.

Consider the following two charts from A History of Clojure which detail the introduction and retention of new code by release for both Clojure and for Scala.

While this doesn't necessarily translate to library stability, it's reasonable to assume that the attitude of the Clojure maintainers will seep into the community. And that assumption is true.

Consider a typical Javascript program. What is it comprised of? Objects, objects, and more objects. Members of those objects must be either introspected or divined. Worse, it's normal to monkeypatch those objects, so the object members may (or may not) change over time.

Now, consider a typical Clojure program. What is it comprised of? Namespaces. Those namespaces contain functions and data. Functions may be dynamically generated (via macros), but it is extremely rare to "monkeypatch" a namespace. If you want to know what functions are available in a namespace, you can simply read the source file.

Comprimido desodorante

No episódio sei-lá-qual de Aleixo FM Bruno Aleixo diz que os bêbados sempre têm as melhores idéias e daí conta uma idéia que ele teve quando estava bêbado: um comprimido que funciona como desodorante. Ao invés de passar o desodorante spray ou roll-on a pessoa pode só tomar o comprimido e pronto, é muito mais prático e no tempo de frio a pessoa pode vestir a roupa mais rápido, sem precisar ficar passando nada com o tronco todo nu. Quando o Busto lhe pergunta sobre a possibilidade de algo assim ser fabricado ele diz que não sabe, que não é cientista, só tem as idéias.

Essa passagem tão boba de um programa de humor esconde uma verdade sobre a doutrina cientística que permeia a sociedade. A doutrina segundo a qual é da ciência que vêm as inovações tecnológicas e de todos os tipos, e por isso é preciso que o Estado tire dinheiro das pessoas trabalhadoras e dê para os cientistas. Nesse ponto ninguém mais sabe o que é um cientista, foi-se toda a concretude, ficou só o nome: "cientista". Daí vão procurar o tal cientista, é um cara que se formou numa universidade e está fazendo um mestrado. Pronto, é só dar dinheiro pra esse cara e tudo vai ficar bom.

Tirando o problema da desconexão entre realidade e a tese, existe também, é claro, o problema da tese: não faz sentido, que um cientista fique procurando formas de realizar uma idéia, que não se sabe nem se é possível nem se é desejável, que ele ou outra pessoa tiveram, muito pelo contrário (mas não vou dizer aqui o que é que era para o cientista fazer porque isso seria contraditório e eu não acho que devam nem existir cientistas).

O que eu queria dizer mesmo era: todo o aparato científico da nossa sociedade, todos os departamentos, universidades, orçamentos e bolsas e revistas, tudo se resume a um monte de gente tentando descobrir como fazer um comprimido desodorante.

Safe Bits & Self Custody Tips

The journey of onboarding a user and create a bitcoin multiSig setup begins far before opening a desktop like Bitcoin Safe (BS) or any other similar application. Bitcoin Safe seems designed for families and people that want to start exploring and learning about multiSig setup. The need for such application and use of it could go much further, defining best practices for private organizations that aim to custody bitcoin in a private and anonymous way, following and enjoy the values and standards bitcoin has been built for.

Intro

Organizations and small private groups like families, family offices and solopreneurs operating on a bitcoin standard will have the need to keep track of transactions and categorize them to keep the books in order. A part of our efforts will be spent ensuring accessibility standards are in place for everyone to use Bitcoin Safe with comfort and safety.

We aim with this project to bring together the three Designathon ideas below: - Bitcoin Safe: improve its overall design and usability. - No User Left Behind: improve Bitcoin Safe accessibility. - Self-custody guidelines for organizations: How Bitcoin Safe can be used by private organization following best self-custody practices.

We are already halfway of the first week, and here below the progress made so far.

Designing an icon Set for Bitcoin Safe

One of the noticeable things when using BS is the inconsistency of the icons, not just in colors and shapes, but also the way are used. The desktop app try to have a clean design that incorporate with all OS (Win, macOS, Linux) and for this reason it's hard to define when a system default icon need to be used or if a custom one can be applied instead. The use of QT Ui framework for python apps help to respond to these questions. It also incorporates and brig up dome default settings that aren't easily overwritten.

Here below you can see the current version of BS:

Defining a more strict color palette for Bitcoin Safe was the first thing!

How much the icons affect accessibility? How they can help users to reach the right functionality? I took the challenge and, with PenPot.app, redesigned the icons based on the grid defined in the https://bitcoinicons.com/ and proposing the implementation of it to have a cleaner and more consistent look'n feel, at least for the icons now.

What's next

I personally look forward to seeing these icons implemented soon in Bitcoin Safe interface. In the meantime, we'll focus on delivering an accessibility audit and evaluate options to see how BS could be used by private organizations aiming to become financially sovereign with self-custody or more complex bitcoin multiSig setups.

One of the greatest innovations BS is bringing to us is the ability to sync the multiSig wallets, including PBST, Categories and labels, through the nostr decentralized protocol, making current key custodial services somehow obsolete. Second-coolest feature that this nostr implementation brings is the ability to have a build-in private chat that connect and enable the various signers of a multiSig to communicate and sign transactions remotely. Where have you seen something like this before?

Categories UX and redesign is also considered in this project. We'll try to understand how to better serve this functionality to you, the user, really soon.

Stay tuned!

สิ่งสำคัญเหนือสิ่งใด—ความสำเร็จในสงครามขึ้นอยู่กับการมีทรัพย์มากพอที่จะจัดหาได้ทุกสิ่งที่ภารกิจต้องการได้หรือไม่ — โรเบิร์ต เดอ บัลซัค, ค.ศ. 1502

บทนี้เริ่มต้นด้วยการอธิบายว่าในโลกยุคแห่งความรุนแรง การคว้าชัยในสงครามไม่ได้ขึ้นกับอุดมการณ์เท่านั้น แต่อยู่ที่การระดมทรัพยากรได้มากพอ ซึ่งรัฐชาติสมัยใหม่คือโครงสร้างที่ประสบความสำเร็จมากที่สุดในประวัติศาสตร์ในการดึงทรัพยากรจากประชาชนมาสนับสนุนการใช้อำนาจรุนแรงอย่างเป็นระบบ

ผู้เขียนเปรียบเทียบสองเหตุการณ์สำคัญ คือการทำลายกำแพงเมืองซานจิโอวานนีในปี 1495 กับการทลายกำแพงเบอร์ลินในปี 1989 โดยเหตุการณ์แรกเป็นจุดเริ่มต้นของยุคแห่งผลตอบแทนสูงจากความรุนแรง (Gunpowder Revolution) ส่วนเหตุการณ์หลังคือสัญลักษณ์ของการสิ้นสุดของยุคอุตสาหกรรมและเป็นการเริ่มต้นของยุคสารสนเทศที่ผลตอบแทนจากการใช้ความรุนแรงกำลังลดลงอย่างเห็นได้ชัด

ความแตกต่างสำคัญของสองกำแพงนี้คือ กำแพงซานจิโอวานนีถูกสร้างเพื่อป้องกันภัยจากภายนอก ขณะที่กำแพงเบอร์ลินถูกสร้างขึ้นเพื่อป้องกันไม่ให้ผู้คนภายในหลบหนีออกไป—สะท้อนถึงรัฐที่ควบคุมประชาชนอย่างเข้มงวดและมีอำนาจอย่างล้นเหลือ

ในบริบทของยุคสารสนเทศ เมื่อผลตอบแทนจากการใช้ความรุนแรงลดลง รัฐชาติก็เริ่มถูกมองว่าเป็นองค์กรที่กดขี่รีดไถมากกว่าจะเป็นผู้คุ้มครอง ผู้มีความรู้และผู้มั่งคั่งจะหาทางหลบหนีออกจากการควบคุมของรัฐ เช่นเดียวกับที่รัฐบาลพยายามสกัดกั้นการหลบหนีของทุน ด้วยนโยบายอย่าง ภาษีการสละสัญชาติ ของประธานาธิบดีคลินตันในปี 1995 ซึ่งเปรียบได้กับ “กำแพงเบอร์ลินสำหรับเงินทุน”

ผู้เขียนชี้ว่าการเก็บภาษีสูงในกลุ่มประเทศ OECD(The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) นั้นแม้จะเป็นข้ออ้างเพื่อค้ำจุนรัฐสวัสดิการ แต่ในความจริง คนรวยมักไม่ได้รับผลประโยชน์จากรัฐสวัสดิการในสัดส่วนที่สมเหตุสมผลกับภาษีที่จ่ายไป และในยุคสารสนเทศ การจัดเก็บภาษีผูกขาดจะยิ่งทำได้ยากขึ้นทุกที

ผู้เขียนวิเคราะห์อายุขัยของรัฐชาติ โดยระบุว่ายุคของรัฐชาติเป็นเพียงช่วงเวลาราว 200 ปี นับจากการปฏิวัติฝรั่งเศสในปี 1789 ถึงการล่มสลายของกำแพงเบอร์ลินในปี 1989 ก่อนหน้านั้น การปกครองแบบรัฐชาติไม่ใช่เรื่องปกติ ส่วนใหญ่เป็นระบบเผด็จการแบบตะวันออกที่พึ่งการควบคุมระบบชลประทาน แต่การปฏิวัติดินปืนทำให้รัฐสามารถควบคุมและขยายอำนาจออกไปนอกโครงสร้างชลประทานได้ รัฐขนาดใหญ่ที่มีทรัพยากรมากจะได้เปรียบในการทำสงครามมากกว่ารัฐที่มีประสิทธิภาพในการผลิตแต่มีขนาดเล็ก สงครามเย็นจึงไม่ใช่แค่การต่อสู้ระหว่างอุดมการณ์ แต่คือการเผชิญหน้าระหว่างสองระบบที่สามารถระดมทรัพยากรได้ดีที่สุดในยุคอุตสาหกรรม ได้แก่ คอมมิวนิสต์ที่ใช้การควบคุมจากศูนย์กลาง กับประชาธิปไตยแบบรัฐสวัสดิการที่ใช้ประชาธิปไตยและชาตินิยมเป็นเครื่องมือสร้างแรงจูงใจให้ประชาชนยินยอมให้รัฐใช้ทรัพยากรของตนเองในการทำสงคราม

บทนี้จึงชี้ให้เห็นว่า ทั้งคอมมิวนิสต์และประชาธิปไตยอาจมีอุดมการณ์ตรงข้ามกัน แต่กลับมีโครงสร้างการระดมทรัพยากรที่คล้ายกันในแง่การเป็น ยุทธศาสตร์ทางทรัพยากร ที่มีประสิทธิภาพสูงสุดในโลกแห่งความรุนแรง แต่ในยุคใหม่ที่ผลตอบแทนจากความรุนแรงลดลง ระบบเหล่านี้ก็อาจกำลังเข้าสู่ปลายทางของมัน

OP_CHECKTEMPLATEVERIFY and the "covenants" drama

There are many ideas for "covenants" (I don't think this concept helps in the specific case of examining proposals, but fine). Some people think "we" (it's not obvious who is included in this group) should somehow examine them and come up with the perfect synthesis.

It is not clear what form this magic gathering of ideas will take and who (or which ideas) will be allowed to speak, but suppose it happens and there is intense research and conversations and people (ideas) really enjoy themselves in the process.

What are we left with at the end? Someone has to actually commit the time and put the effort and come up with a concrete proposal to be implemented on Bitcoin, and whatever the result is it will have trade-offs. Some great features will not make into this proposal, others will make in a worsened form, and some will be contemplated very nicely, there will be some extra costs related to maintenance or code complexity that will have to be taken. Someone, a concreate person, will decide upon these things using their own personal preferences and biases, and many people will not be pleased with their choices.

That has already happened. Jeremy Rubin has already conjured all the covenant ideas in a magic gathering that lasted more than 3 years and came up with a synthesis that has the best trade-offs he could find. CTV is the result of that operation.

---

The fate of CTV in the popular opinion illustrated by the thoughtless responses it has evoked such as "can we do better?" and "we need more review and research and more consideration of other ideas for covenants" is a preview of what would probably happen if these suggestions were followed again and someone spent the next 3 years again considering ideas, talking to other researchers and came up with a new synthesis. Again, that person would be faced with "can we do better?" responses from people that were not happy enough with the choices.

And unless some famous Bitcoin Core or retired Bitcoin Core developers were personally attracted by this synthesis then they would take some time to review and give their blessing to this new synthesis.

To summarize the argument of this article, the actual question in the current CTV drama is that there exists hidden criteria for proposals to be accepted by the general community into Bitcoin, and no one has these criteria clear in their minds. It is not as simple not as straightforward as "do research" nor it is as humanly impossible as "get consensus", it has a much bigger social element into it, but I also do not know what is the exact form of these hidden criteria.

This is said not to blame anyone -- except the ignorant people who are not aware of the existence of these things and just keep repeating completely false and unhelpful advice for Jeremy Rubin and are not self-conscious enough to ever realize what they're doing.

Mental health isn’t just about big breakthroughs; it’s about small, intentional choices that pull you out of your head and into your life. I’ve spent years wrestling with overthinking, chasing perfection, and letting my phone hijack my focus. Here’s what I’ve learned about stopping those cycles and finding peace—and how you can, too.

Trapped in My Own Mind: The Overthinking Struggle I used to overanalyze everything—every word in a conversation, every choice I made. My brain was a hamster wheel, spinning with “what ifs” and worst-case scenarios. It stole my energy and joy. Then, I tried something simple: the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique. Name five things you see, four you hear, three you feel, two you smell, one you taste. It sounds basic, but it yanked me out of my head and into the present. Another trick? I set a 10-minute timer to journal my worries, then closed the notebook. That act of “parking” my thoughts gave me permission to move on. Overthinking still creeps in, but these tools help me hit pause and start living.

Letting Go of Perfection to Find Happiness For years, I thought happiness meant getting everything right—perfect work, perfect routines, perfect me. Spoiler: it’s exhausting. One day, I bombed a project and expected to spiral. Instead, I felt… free. I realized perfection was a trap, keeping me from real joy. Now, I aim for “good enough” and celebrate small wins, like finishing a rough draft or just showing up on a tough day. Letting go of flawless opened the door to happiness rooted in progress, not pressure. It’s messy, but it’s honest—and that’s where the good stuff lives.

The No-Phone Hour: A Game-Changer for My Brain My phone was my shadow—scrolling during breakfast, checking notifications mid-thought. It cluttered my mind and fueled my overthinking. So, I started a daily “no-phone hour” in the morning. No screens, just me, a coffee, and quiet. Sometimes I journal, sometimes I stare out the window. At first, it felt weird, like I was missing something. But soon, I noticed my focus sharpening and my stress dipping. That hour became sacred—a reset for my mental health. It’s not about hating tech; it’s about giving your brain space to breathe.

Your Turn to Break Free These shifts—grounding my thoughts, embracing imperfection, and ditching my phone for an hour—haven’t made me “fixed.” They’ve made me freer. They’re small steps, but they add up. Try one this week: maybe a grounding exercise when you’re stuck in your head, or letting a mistake slide without self-criticism. Share your story—what’s one thing you do to quiet your mind or reclaim your focus? Drop it in the comments or post your own note. Let’s learn from each other.

At the time I thought Workflowy had the ideal UI for everything. I wanted to implement my custom app maker on it, but ended up doing this: a platform for enhancing Workflowy with extra features:

• An email reminder based on dates input in items
• A website generator, similar to Websites For Trello, also based on Classless Templates

Also, I didn't remember this was also based on CouchDB and had some couchapp functionalities.

“ฉันยังคงเชื่อและหวังว่า สักวันหนึ่งการเมืองและเศรษฐกิจจะลดบทบาทลงจากความสำคัญที่เคยมีในอดีต วันหนึ่งจะมาถึง วันที่ข้อถกเถียงทั้งหลายที่เรามีอยู่ในปัจจุบันเกี่ยวกับเรื่องเหล่านี้ จะดูเล็กน้อยหรือไร้ความหมาย ไม่ต่างจากการโต้แย้งทางเทววิทยาในยุคกลาง ซึ่งแม้แต่ปัญญาชนที่เฉียบแหลมที่สุดก็ยังทุ่มเทแรงกายแรงใจให้กับมันอย่างไร้ประโยชน์”

— อาร์เธอร์ ซี. คลาร์ก

บทนี้เปรียบเทียบการล่มสลายของโครงสร้างอำนาจทางการเมืองในยุคปัจจุบันกับความเสื่อมถอยของศาสนจักรในยุคกลาง ผู้เขียนตั้งข้อสังเกตว่าการเมืองสมัยใหม่—ในฐานะกิจกรรมที่เน้นการแย่งชิงอำนาจรัฐและให้เหตุผลแก่การใช้อำนาจ—เป็นเพียงสิ่งประดิษฐ์ชั่วคราวที่เกิดขึ้นในช่วงเวลาที่ผลตอบแทนจากการควบคุมรัฐมีสูง โดยเฉพาะในช่วงหลังการปฏิวัติดินปืน ซึ่งเป็นเหตุการณ์สำคัญที่เปลี่ยนตรรกะของการใช้ความรุนแรงอย่างรุนแรง

ก่อนหน้าการปฏิวัติดินปืน อำนาจทางทหารกระจัดกระจายอยู่ในมือของชนชั้นสูงตามระบบศักดินา อัศวินม้าหุ้มเกราะคือศูนย์กลางของกองกำลัง ซึ่งควบคุมได้ยากและมีต้นทุนสูง เมื่อมีดินปืนเข้ามาแทนที่ มันทำให้รัฐสามารถจัดตั้งกองทัพถาวรที่ควบคุมจากส่วนกลางได้อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ ต้นทุนต่อหน่วยของความรุนแรงลดลง แต่กำลังทำลายล้างกลับเพิ่มขึ้น ทำให้การผูกขาดการใช้กำลังโดยรัฐกลายเป็นสิ่ง “คุ้มทุน” และส่งเสริมให้เกิดรัฐชาติสมัยใหม่ที่มีการเก็บภาษีอย่างเป็นระบบ มีระบบราชการ และกองทัพประจำการ

การเมืองในความหมายใหม่จึงถือกำเนิดขึ้นจากการแย่งชิงทรัพยากรและอำนาจรัฐที่เติบโตจากอิทธิพลของดินปืน ความสำคัญของคำถาม “ใครควบคุมรัฐ?” จึงกลายเป็นแกนกลางของความขัดแย้งทางการเมืองตลอด 500 ปีที่ผ่านมา ในมุมมองของผู้เขียน การเมืองไม่ได้เป็นแก่นแท้ของการดำรงอยู่ของมนุษย์ แต่เป็นผลพลอยได้จากเงื่อนไขทางเทคโนโลยีและภูมิสังคมในช่วงเวลาหนึ่ง ซึ่งกำลังหมดสภาพไปอย่างช้าๆ จากอิทธิพลของการปฏิวัติสารสนเทศ เช่นเดียวกับที่ระบบศักดินาเคยสิ้นสุดลงเมื่อสิ้นยุคกลาง

กระบวนการนี้เริ่มสังเกตได้จากความเบื่อหน่ายและการเสื่อมศรัทธาที่ผู้คนมีต่อการเมืองทั่วโลก ความไม่พอใจต่อการทุจริตของผู้นำ ความล้มเหลวในการบริหาร และความไร้ประสิทธิภาพของรัฐชาติ สะท้อนถึงการหมดอำนาจของโครงสร้างทางการเมืองแบบเดิมในระดับลึก แม้ในปัจจุบันผู้คนยังไม่สามารถจินตนาการถึงชีวิตที่ปราศจากการเมืองได้อย่างสิ้นเชิง แต่กระแสความเสื่อมถอยได้เริ่มขึ้นแล้ว เหมือนกับที่ผู้คนในยุคกลางยังเชื่อในอำนาจของศาสนจักร ทั้งที่ศรัทธาที่แท้จริงได้เสื่อมสลายไปก่อนหน้านั้นนาน

ผู้เขียนเปรียบการล่มสลายของการเมืองสมัยใหม่กับการล่มสลายของพระศาสนจักรในปลายคริสต์ศตวรรษที่ 15 โดยให้เหตุผลว่า ในช่วงนั้นผู้คนเริ่มหมดศรัทธาในนักบวช ทั้งระดับสูงและระดับล่าง มีการกล่าวหาว่าหิวเงิน คาวโลกีย์ และขายบาป ผู้คนยังเชื่อในศรัทธาภายนอก แต่ในความเป็นจริง สถาบันศาสนากลับไร้อำนาจในการควบคุมสังคม ความเปรียบเทียบนี้นำไปสู่ข้อเสนอว่ารัฐชาติกำลังเดินตามเส้นทางเดียวกัน คือหมดอำนาจลงทั้งในทางปฏิบัติและความชอบธรรม ในโลกยุคสารสนเทศ การควบคุมของรัฐมีต้นทุนสูงขึ้น เทคโนโลยีทำให้ผู้คนหลีกเลี่ยงอำนาจรัฐได้มากขึ้น รัฐไม่สามารถผูกขาดการใช้ความรุนแรงหรือการเก็บภาษีได้ง่ายเหมือนเดิม รัฐชาติจึงจะค่อย ๆ ถูกแทนที่ด้วยรูปแบบใหม่ของอธิปไตย เช่น เมืองอิสระหรือสาธารณรัฐพ่อค้า ซึ่งต้องแข่งขันกันเสมือนบริษัทเอกชน คิดค่าบริการตามคุณค่าที่ให้กับพลเมือง ผู้เขียนยังวิจารณ์มายาคติของยุคต่าง ๆ ที่บดบังความเข้าใจความจริงของโครงสร้างอำนาจ เช่น มายาคติเรื่องอัศวินในยุคกลาง หรือมายาคติเรื่องประชาธิปไตยในยุคปัจจุบัน ทั้งสองต่างเป็นภาพลวงที่ผูกปัจเจกบุคคลเข้ากับอำนาจรัฐเพื่อระดมทรัพยากรและแรงงาน ในยุคที่ต้นทุนของการใช้อำนาจเปลี่ยนไป บทบาทของทั้งอัศวินในยุคศักดินา และพลเมืองในยุคประชาธิปไตย ก็จะเสื่อมลงตามไปด้วย

กล่าวโดยสรุป บทนี้เสนอว่าเรากำลังอยู่ในช่วงหัวเลี้ยวหัวต่อของประวัติศาสตร์ เมื่อระบบรัฐชาติและการเมืองในรูปแบบที่เราคุ้นเคยกำลังถึงจุดจบ เทคโนโลยีสารสนเทศจะปลดล็อกพลังของปัจเจกบุคคลให้มีทางเลือกที่หลากหลายกว่าการอยู่ภายใต้รัฐเพียงแบบเดียว และโลกใหม่ที่กำลังจะมาอาจไม่ต้องการ “การเมือง” อย่างที่เราเคยรู้จักอีกต่อไป...

A big Ethereum problem that is fixed by Drivechain

While reading the following paragraphs, assume Drivechain itself will be a "smart contract platform", like Ethereum. And that it won't be used to launch an Ethereum blockchain copy, but instead each different Ethereum contract could be turned into a different sidechain under BIP300 rules.

A big Ethereum problem

Anyone can publish any "contract" to Ethereum. Often people will come up with somewhat interesting ideas and publish them. Since they want money they will add an unnecessary token and use that to bring revenue to themselves, gamify the usage of their contract somehow, and keep some control over the supposedly open protocol they've created by keeping a majority of the tokens. They will use the profits on marketing and branding, have a visual identity, a central website and a forum with support personnel and so on: their somewhat interesting idea have become a full-fledged company.

If they have success then another company will appear in the space and copy the idea, launch it using exactly the same strategy with a tweak, then try to capture the customers of the first company and new people. And then another, and another, and another. Very often these contracts require some network effect to work, i.e., they require people to be using it so others will use it. The fact that the market is now split into multiple companies offering roughly the same product hurts that, such that none of these protocols get ever enough usage to become really useful in the way they were first conceived. At this point it doesn't matter though, they get some usage, and they use that in their marketing material. It becomes a race to pump the value of the tokens and the current usage is just another point used for that purpose. The company will even start giving out money to attract new users and other weird moves that have no relationship with the initial somewhat intereting idea.

Once in a lifetime it happens that the first implementer of these things is not a company seeking profits, but some altruistic developer or company that believes in Ethereum and wants to see it grow -- or more likely someone financed by the Ethereum Foundation, which allegedly doesn't like these token schemes and would prefer everybody to use the token they issued first, the ETH --, but that's a fruitless enterprise because someone else will copy that idea anyway and turn it into a company as described above.

How Drivechain fixes it

In the Drivechain world, if someone had an idea, they would -- as it happens all the time with Bitcoin things -- publish it in a public forum. Other members of the community would evaluate that idea, add or remove things, all interested parties would contribute to make it the best possible incarnation of that idea. Once the design was settled, someone would volunteer to start writing the code to turn that idea into a sidechain. Maybe some company would fund those efforts and then more people would join. It's not a perfect process and one that often involves altruism, but Bitcoin inspires people to do these things.

Slowly, the thing would get built, tested, activated as a sidechain on testnet, tested more, and at this point luckily the entire community of interested Bitcoin users and miners would have grown to like that idea and see its benefits. It could then be proposed to be activated according to BIP300 rules.

Once it was activated, the entire pool of interested users would join it. And it would be impossible for someone else to create a copy of that because everybody would instantly notice it was a copy. There would be no token, no one profiting directly from the operations of that "smart contract". And everybody would be incentivized to join and tell others to join that same sidechain since the network effect was already the biggest there, they will know more network effect would only be good for everybody involved, and there would be no competing marketing and free token giveaways from competing entities.

Pocket Wallet is a experimental nostr-based wallet on CKB blockchain built for pocket change and casual, low-stakes transactions. It uses CKB Light Client to sync the blockchain right in your browser without relying on any centralized RPC service. By integrating Nostr with Nip46 and more, Pocket Wallet hopes to provide a fully verifiable wallet experience in the methodology of client-side-validation and POW verifications. The software is also open-source, right now it only supports testnet, any feedback is welcome.

This is also an self attempt to build a Web5 product from zero and explore the design and implementation of a Web5 idealism. The things i find interesting along side building this demo are quite a few, just pick some to share:

1. I think users and developers all want something that can last without requiring extra hardship, approval or permissions in the future.
2. For developers, what i mean by that is when building Web5 products, we should think about the maintain problem. to make a product works in the longer future, you want it relies on fewer dependencies.
3. Server is bad because it relies on other people’s computer. Client side validation is good because the computer is in your own control.
4. That is why light client and POW matters to blockchain since they give you the power to verify by yourself instead of trusting others. Don’t trust, verify is not just a slogan, it is also a practical strategy if you look at it in the long term. Centralized service always feels great at the beginning and then it mess you up in the future.
5. If you really have to rely on some sort of service, choose the simple and open protocol one instead of the proprietary software. One example in Pocket wallet is the usage of Nip46 to manage the Nostr account. The great thing about Nip46 is that it is dead simple and you can easily host your own if all the Nip46 service providers are down or kicking you out.
6. In fact, I think all service/products in Nostr ecosystem are easily switchable, replaceable and can be self-hosting since it is a very simple open protocol. That’s why it is chosen in Pocket Wallet as a kind of Web2 User interface connecting with the blockchain web3 stuff(which together builds up the Web5, yes!)
7. For users, there are power users and weak users. power users can take care of their own but they just don’t have the tools that allows them to do the job. The reason is that power users are considered the minorities in almost all the marketplace. We need more web5 products that move the power and also the responsibility from developers to power users.
8. For weak users, they can take care of their own but they just keep being told that they can’t and they fall for it. Being able to verify and control the software one is using is a key difference. One simple example is that do you allow a Nostr account manager (either it is Nip46 or Nip07) to automatically approve signing most events for you or do you check every operation by yourself with a high security policy? Automatically signing are always dangerous when comes to manage crypto funds.
9. Web5 implements different level of trust and opens access to different level of verifiable tools and resource. Only in this way power users can fulfill their wants while weak users have a chance to realize the lies of custody. We need web5 to bring individual sovereign.

Why are emojis called emojis?

---

The word "emoji" comes from Japan because emojis were first created and popularized there. The term "emoji" (絵文字) is made up of two Japanese words: "e" (絵), meaning "picture," and "moji" (文字), meaning "character."

The first set of emojis was developed in 1999 by Shigetaka Kurita, a designer working for NTT DoCoMo, a major Japanese mobile phone company. Kurita designed a set of 176 12×12 pixel images for a messaging service called i-mode, which was a precursor to what we now recognize as text messaging. The aim was to help people convey emotions, actions, or objects more easily in their digital communication, especially since sending lengthy texts wasn’t as practical on early mobile phones.

The simplicity and ease of emojis made them incredibly popular, and over time, they spread beyond Japan to the rest of the world. Today, emojis are used globally in texting, social media, and digital communication.

So, while emojis were created in Japan, they’ve become a universal part of modern communication!

Using Spacechains and Fedimint to solve scaling

What if instead of trying to create complicated "layer 2" setups involving noveau cryptographic techniques we just did the following:

• we take that Fedimint source code and remove the "mint" stuff, and just use their federation stuff secure coins with multisig;
• then we make a spacechain;
• and we make the federations issue multisig-btc tokens on it;
• and then we put some uniswap-like thing in there to allow these tokens to be exchanged freely.

Why?

The recent spike in fees caused by Ordinals and BRC-20 shitcoinery has shown that Lightning isn't a silver bullet. Channels are too fragile, it costs a lot to open a channel under a high fee environment, to run a routing node and so on.

People who want to keep using Lightning are instead flocking to the big Lightning custodial providers: WalletofSatoshi, ZEBEDEE, OpenNode and so on. We could leverage that trust people have in these companies (and individuals) operating shadow Lightning providers and turn each of these into a btc-token issuer. Each issue their own token, transactions flow freely. Each person can hold only assets from the issuers they trust more.

When I am asked "where password and ID?" by my friends, I will say it. ↓（generated by chatgpt）

---

1. Nostr is decentralized

• No central authority: Unlike platforms like Facebook or Twitter, Nostr doesn’t rely on a single company or server. This means nobody can block your account or censor your posts. You control your own data and connections.
• Distributed network: Instead of all your data being stored in one place (which can be hacked), it’s spread across multiple independent servers.

2. No passwords or centralized logins

• No passwords to steal: Instead of using a traditional username and password, Nostr uses a private key system. This means your login is much more secure, and there’s no need for you to remember passwords or risk them getting hacked.
• Easy login with Passkeys or security keys: On Nostr, you don’t need a password—you can use secure login methods like Passkeys (via your phone, for example), which is faster and much more secure than a traditional password.

3. You control your identity

• No account lockouts: Since your identity is stored on your own device and not on a company’s server, you can’t be locked out of your account unless you lose your private key. You can always recover access if you have your private key.
• Pseudonymous: You don’t need to reveal your real name. You can choose an identity that doesn’t tie to your personal info.

4. Privacy & Security

• Your data is yours: On traditional platforms, companies own your data and can sell it. With Nostr, you keep control over your information—no company has access to your messages, posts, or activity.
• End-to-end encryption: Nostr supports strong privacy where your messages are encrypted, meaning no one can spy on your conversations.

5. Open-source and community-driven

• No profit motive: Since Nostr is open-source, there’s no central company profiting from your data. It’s built by a community that values freedom of speech and privacy.
• Transparency: Anyone can see the code, contribute to its improvement, and make the network better. It's not controlled by one company or government.

Simple Example:

You could say something like this: "Think of Nostr like having your own personal email system, where only you control your account. There’s no one to block you or take down your content. You don’t need a password to log in—just a secure key on your phone. Your posts are private, and you can be anonymous if you want. No one owns your data. It’s freedom, security, and privacy."

What You Can Say if They Ask, “But there are IDs and keys, right?”

• Yes, but the IDs are not like usernames: In Nostr, your identity is linked to your private key, not a password. This key is yours and you control it. There's no centralized database of usernames or passwords that someone could steal.
• It's safer: It’s like having a secure personal locker that only you can open with your phone’s biometrics or security key, rather than trying to remember a password or relying on a service to keep it safe for you.

Here’s Sean Voisen writing about how programming is a feeling:

For those of us who enjoy programming, there is a deep satisfaction that comes from solving problems through well-written code, a kind of ineffable joy found in the elegant expression of a system through our favorite syntax. It is akin to the same satisfaction a craftsperson might find at the end of the day after toiling away on well-made piece of furniture, the culmination of small dopamine hits that come from sweating the details on something and getting them just right. Maybe nobody will notice those details, but it doesn’t matter. We care, we notice, we get joy from the aesthetics of the craft.

This got me thinking about the idea of satisfaction in craft. Where does it come from?

Marty's Bent

via Kevin McKernan

There's been a lot of discussion this week about Casey Means being nominated for Surgeon General of the United States and a broader overarching conversation about the effectiveness of MAHA since the inauguration and how effective it may or may not be moving forward. Many would say that President Trump won re-election due to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Nicole Shanahan deciding to reach across the aisle and join the Trump ticket, bringing with them the MAHA Moms, who are very focused on reorienting the healthcare system in the United States with a strong focus on the childhood vaccine schedule.

I'm not going to lie, this is something I'm passionate about as well, particularly after having many conversations over the years with doctors like Kevin McKernan, Dr. Jack Kruse, Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, Dr. Brooke Miller, Dr. Peter McCullough and others about the dangers of the COVID mRNA vaccines. As it stands today, I think this is the biggest elephant in the room in the world of healthcare. If you look at the data, particularly disability claims, life insurance claims, life expectancy, miscarriage rates, fertility issues and rates of turbo cancer around the world since the COVID vaccine was introduced in 2021, it seems pretty clear that there is harm being done to many of the people who have taken them.

The risk-reward ratio of the vaccines seems to be incredibly skewed towards risk over reward and children - who have proven to be least susceptible to COVID - are expected to get three COVID shots in the first year of their life if their parents follow the vaccine schedule. For some reason or another it seems that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has shied away from this topic after becoming the head of Health and Human Services within the Trump administration. This is after a multi-year campaign during which getting the vaccines removed from the market war a core part of his platform messaging.

I'm still holding out hope that sanity will prevail. The COVID mRNA vaccines will be taken off the market in a serious conversation about the crimes against humanity that unfolded during the COVID years will take place. However, we cannot depend on that outcome. We must build with the assumption in mind that that outcome may never materialize. This leads to identifying where the incentives within the system are misconstrued. One area where I think it's pretty safe to say that the incentives are misaligned is the fact that 95% of doctors work for and answer to a corporation driven by their bottom line. Instead of listening to their patients and truly caring about the outcome of each individual, doctors forced to think about the monetary outcome of the corporation they work for first.

The most pernicious way in which these misaligned incentives emerge is the way in which the hospital systems and physicians are monetarily incentivized by big pharma companies to push the COVID vaccine and other vaccines on their patients. It is important to acknowledge that we cannot be dependent on a system designed in this way to change from within. Instead, we must build a new incentive system and market structure. And obviously, if you're reading this newsletter, you know that I believe that bitcoin will play a pivotal role in realigning incentives across every industry. Healthcare just being one of them.

Bitcoiners who have identified the need to become sovereign in our monetary matters, it probably makes sense to become sovereign when it comes to our healthcare as well. This means finding doctors who operate outside the corporate controlled system and are able to offer services that align incentives with the end patient. My family utilizes a combination of CrowdHealth and a private care physician to align incentives. We've even utilized a private care physician who allowed us to pay in Bitcoin for her services for a number of years. I think this is the model. Doctors accepting hard censorship resistant money for the healthcare and advice they provide. Instead of working for a corporation looking to push pharmaceutical products on their patients so they can bolster their bottom line, work directly with patients who will pay in bitcoin, which will appreciate in value over time.

I had a lengthy discussion with Dr. Jack Kruse on the podcast earlier today discussing these topic and more. It will be released on Thursday and I highly recommend you freaks check it out once it is published. Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss it.

How the "Exorbitant Privilege" of the Dollar is Undermining Our Manufacturing Base

In my conversation with Lyn Alden, we explored America's fundamental economic contradiction. As Lyn expertly explained, maintaining the dollar's reserve currency status while attempting to reshore manufacturing presents a near-impossible challenge - what economists call Triffin's Dilemma. The world's appetite for dollars gives Americans tremendous purchasing power but simultaneously hollows out our industrial base. The overvalued dollar makes our exports less competitive, especially for lower-margin manufacturing, while our imports remain artificially strong.

"Having the reserve currency does come with a bunch of benefits, historically called an exorbitant privilege, but then it has certain costs to maintain it." - Lyn Alden

This dilemma forces America to run persistent trade deficits, as this is how dollars flow to the world. For over four decades, these deficits have accumulated, creating massive economic imbalances that can't be quickly reversed. The Trump administration's attempts to address this through tariffs showcase how difficult rebalancing has become. As Lyn warned, even if we successfully pivot toward reshoring manufacturing, we'll face difficult trade-offs: potentially giving up some reserve currency benefits to rebuild our industrial foundation. This isn't just economic theory - it's the restructuring challenge that will define America's economic future.

Check out the full podcast here for more on China's manufacturing dominance, the role of Bitcoin in monetary transitions, and energy production as the foundation for future industrial power.

Album art didn’t always exist. In the early 1900s, recorded music was still a novelty, overshadowed by sales of sheet music. Early vinyl records were vastly different from what we think of today: discs were sold individually and could only hold up to four minutes of music per side. Sometimes, only one side of the record was used. One of the most popular records of 1910, for example, was “Come, Josephine, in My Flying Machine”: it clocked in at two minutes and 39 seconds.

The invention of album art can get lost in the story of technological mastery. But among all the factors that contributed to the rise of recorded music, it stands as one of the few that was wholly driven by creators themselves. Album art — first as marketing material, then as pure creative expression — turned an audio-only medium into a multi-sensory experience.

This is the story of the people who made music visible.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

"I’ve got something you’ll love. A woman, probably James’s sister from the street, came begging for money at JP today. He humiliated her. The whole thing happened in front of staff. Check the photos attached. This could ruin him if we spin it well."

Within minutes, Helen replied: “Excellent. This might be the leverage we’ve been waiting for. Keep digging, Tracy. He can’t escape the past forever.”

Mark responded too, bitter laughter echoing in his voice note: “The mighty always fall. This is just the beginning.”

But what none of them knew was that James had already noticed Tracy's growing interest in him, her subtle spying, her conveniently timed questions, and now this bold move to document his personal confrontation. He wasn’t going to act just yet… but he was watching.

"Have you seen the news?" Sandra’s voice crackled through the phone, her tone urgent and unsettled.

James, seated in his office at JP Enterprises, furrowed his brows. He hadn’t turned on the television yet. "No. What happened?"

"You need to check the headlines immediately. It’s everywhere. They’ve dragged your name through the mud!"

Without another word, James reached for the remote and turned on the large flat-screen mounted on his office wall. The screen lit up with a news report, the broadcaster’s voice sharp and sensational.

“Shocking footage surfaces: JP Enterprises’ President humiliates his only sister in broad daylight!”

Photos of James and Evelyn outside the company played in a dramatic sequence him confronting her, her being escorted out, and his seemingly cold expression. The captions twisted the story:

“Heartless Billionaire?” “President throws out helpless sister for asking money” “The shameful side of JP Enterprises’ leader exposed!”

James leaned back in his chair, eyes narrowing as he watched.

"This is calculated," he muttered under his breath. "Scripted. Twisted."

He turned off the screen and called Sandra back. "I want Tracy's devices checked. Every message, every image. And I want a full trace on the origin of this story. Media outlets don’t run this kind of narrative without a source."

"You think Tracy’s behind it?" Sandra asked, her voice low.

"She took the pictures, I’m sure of it. But she’s not working alone," James replied, voice steely. "This is too well-planned for one person. They’re trying to frame me, twist reality, and attack my image. And I’ll make sure every single one of them is exposed."

Meanwhile, at a discreet location, Mark, Helen, and Tracy gathered to watch the fire they had ignited. Tracy grinned as she scrolled through social media posts and reactions.

"It’s gone viral," she said gleefully. "Everyone thinks that woman’s your sister. It’s everywhere on blogs, gossip pages, even official news networks. The damage is done."

Mark chuckled darkly. "This will shatter his reputation. Let’s see how he enjoys being publicly hated."

Helen, sipping her wine with a satisfied look, added, "It’s only the beginning. Let’s push this narrative harder. We’ll make sure the board at JP Enterprises starts questioning his character."

But little did they know James had already activated his private investigative team. Every file, every message, every trail was being traced.

Back at JP Enterprises, James stood by the window of his office, watching the skyline, his hands in his pockets.

"They want a war?" he said to himself quietly. "Then I’ll give them one. But on my own terms."

His phone buzzed. A message from his chief of cyber-security read:

“We’ve located the media contact. Payment traced to a dummy account linked to Helen Ray.”

James stared at the screen, his jaw tightening.

The day of the much-anticipated 16th Anniversary of JP Enterprises finally arrived, cloaked in glamour, prestige, and tension. The event venue, a grand luxury hall draped in velvet and golden decor, radiated elegance and opulence. Bright lights illuminated the red carpet, and camera flashes sparked like lightning as influential business magnates, city officials, and esteemed guests from far and wide began to pour in.

Among the prominent guests were Helen Ray, Mark, Tracy, and other members of the Ray family. Dressed in designer gowns and tailored suits, they mingled with high society, laughing and sipping champagne, their polished facades hiding the scheme they had carefully orchestrated for the night.

The hall buzzed with anticipation for the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. JP, the founders of the JP Empire. Meanwhile, in a secluded corner of the hall, Helen leaned towards Mark, whispering with a smirk, “She’s on her way. Get ready for the show.”

The “she” Helen referred to was Evelyn, the same woman they had bribed to once again impersonate James’s sister and stir public humiliation. This time, it wouldn’t just be a few photos, they wanted a scandal of epic proportions, a scene so chaotic and public that it would crumble James’s standing in the business world for good.

As guests chatted and live music flowed through the air, James entered the hall in a pristine black tuxedo, exuding power and poise. He walked beside his uncle Charles and his loyal staff, warmly greeting dignitaries and longtime associates. His presence commanded attention, but murmurs soon rippled through the crowd.

Whispers filled the air like wind in dry grass:

"That’s the man from the headline, isn’t he?" "They say he threw his own sister out for asking for help." "Such cruelty… and yet here he is, smiling like a saint."

As James navigated through the crowd with measured grace, Helen sauntered over, her heels clicking on the marble floor, her expression dripping with sarcasm.

“Well, well, if it isn’t our gallant President,” she began, feigning admiration. “I must say, you clean up well for someone who was just exposed in the most shameful news of the year.”

James turned to her with a calm but unreadable gaze. “Helen,” he greeted curtly.

She chuckled. “You really should be more careful with family matters. The public has a long memory, you know.”

Before James could reply, a loud voice broke through the soft music. “James! James! You left me with nothing!”

All heads turned toward the entrance, where Evelyn stumbled in, her appearance carefully staged to look disheveled and distraught. She weaved through the crowd, screaming and sobbing uncontrollably, clutching at the air as security hesitated to intervene.

Just malinvestiment

Traditionally the Austrian Theory of Business Cycles has been explained and reworked in many ways, but the most widely accepted version (or the closest to the Mises or Hayek views) view is that banks (or the central bank) cause the general interest rate to decline by creation of new money and that prompts entrepreneurs to invest in projects of longer duration. This can be confusing because sometimes entrepreneurs embark in very short-time projects during one of these bubbles and still contribute to the overall cycle.

The solution is to think about the "longer term" problem is to think of the entire economy going long-term, not individual entrepreneurs. So if one entrepreneur makes an investiment in a thing that looks simple he may actually, knowingly or not, be inserting himself in a bigger machine that is actually involved in producing longer-term things. Incidentally this thinking also solves the biggest criticism of the Austrian Business Cycle Theory: that of the rational expectations people who say: "oh but can't the entrepreneurs know that the interest rate is artificially low and decide to not make long-term investiments?" ("and if they don't know they should lose money and be replaced like in a normal economy flow blablabla?"). Well, the answer is that they are not really relying on the interest rate, they are only looking for profit opportunities, and this is the key to another confusion that has always followed my thinkings about this topic.

If a guy opens a bar in an area of a town where many new buildings are being built during a "housing bubble" he may not know, but he is inserting himself right into the eye of that business cycle. He expects all these building projects to continue, and all the people involved in that to be getting paid more and be able to spend more at his bar and so on. That is a bet that may or may not end up paying.

Now what does that bar investiment has to do with the interest rate? Nothing. It is just a guy who saw a business opportunity in a place where hungry people with money had no bar to buy things in, so he opened a bar. Additionally the guy has made some calculations about all the ending, starting and future building projects in the area, and then the people that would live or work in that area afterwards (after all the buildings were being built with the expectation of being used) and so on, there is no interest rate calculations involved. And yet that may be a malinvestiment because some building projects will end up being canceled and the expected usage of the finished ones will turn out to be smaller than predicted.

This bubble may have been caused by a decline in interest rates that prompted some people to start buying houses that they wouldn't otherwise, but this is just a small detail. The bubble can only be kept going by a constant influx of new money into the economy, but the focus on the interest rate is wrong. If new money is printed and used by the government to buy ships then there will be a boom and a bubble in the ship market, and that involves all the parts of production process of ships and also bars that will be opened near areas of the town where ships are built and new people are being hired with higher salaries to do things that will eventually contribute to the production of ships that will then be sold to the government.

It's not interest rates or the length of the production process that matters, it's just printed money and malinvestiment.

Since World War II, America has doubled down on the Car and the Jetplane as the primary mode of short- and long-range transportation respectively. The construction of the interstate highway system in the 1950's was ostensibly for civil and economic purposes, however the military applications of being able to move large numbers of soldiers and war material across the vast distance of the US mainland were not lost on the planners of the system. The development of civilian air travel industry followed a similar rationale, to promote a viable industrial base of aerospace manufacturers who could be easily re-tasked for war should the need arise.

Now in the 21st century we frequently forget these facts and provide convenient ex-post-facto justifications for why we drive and fly everywhere. "It's just more convenient... It must be that the market naturally arrived at this solution!"

Not quite. As a vast array of literature from academics like the late Donald Shoup has shown in works like The High Cost of Free Parking, American cities and suburbs were designed (in many cases, top-down, by fiat) around cars. And in turn, most Americans have designed their lives around cars, in such a way that they couldn't imagine living without their own personal 2-ton transportation machine in their garage.

But here I wanted to ask: What form of transportation actually aligns with the core values expressed in Bitcoin? What is most anonymous, permission-less, and decentralized form of mobility technology?

Breakdown of Mobility Modes

Here I will argue, perhaps counter-intuitively, that it's not the car. The following table is an entirely subjective, but I believe nonetheless reasonable, breakdown of 7 of the most commonly used modes of mobility in the developed world across three core values that I believe are expressed in Bitcoin culture:

| Mode | Range | Scheduled? | Anonymous? | Permission Level | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Walking | ~1 mi | No ✅| Yes ✅| None ✅| | Cycling | ~5 mi | No ✅| Yes ✅| None ✅| | E-Mobility | ~15 mi | No ✅| Yes ✅| None ✅| | Local Transit | ~25 mi | Maybe 🚧| Yes ✅| Low 🚧| | Driving | ~300 mi | No ✅| No 🛑| High 🛑| | Intercity Rail | ~1000 mi | Yes 🛑| Yes ✅| Low 🚧| | Passenger Jet | ~8000 mi | Yes 🛑| No 🛑| High 🛑|

My explanations for each category are below:

Scheduling: Go Anytime

To many, this is a core component of what they think of as "freedom" in mobility. This is the attraction to many of the car: go anytime.

However, it's important to note that this attribute is shared with walking, biking, and e-mobility. And, it should be mentioned, better public transit systems that have low headways (i.e. time between trains and buses) approach "go anytime" methods of travel. If you're only waiting ~5-10 minutes for the next bus or train, this becomes functionally equivalent to the "go anytime" convenience of cars, especially if one factors in traffic, parking, & etc.

Longer-distance travel, planes and trains, will obviously require some aspect of scheduling in advance.

Anonymity

What forms of transportation allow you to travel anonymously? Well, we can clearly strike cars and planes off that list. Car travel requires both you and your vehicle to be registered with the state. You literally carry a visible ID (license plate) with you every time you leave the house. Can you imagine having to strap a number to your back every time you walk out of the house? And things only get more stringent when stepping on a plane, especially with the implementation of RealID nationwide.

In contrast, police overreach notwithstanding, nobody is asking for your ID for simply walking on the sidewalk, biking or e-mobility. Neither do bikes or e-scooter devices generally need to be registered (although it's a good idea to use private registries for your bike in case it gets stolen).

Even intra- and inter-city rail systems generally allow for payments in cash, thus allowing for anonymous travel using these means. They certainly aren't checking ID's by default.

So we see that on anonymity, any means of transport other than cars or planes are superior.

Permissioned vs Permissionless Movement

Here again, Cars and Planes are clearly inferior to all other forms described. As we're all told in high school Driver's Ed, "driving is a privilege, not a right." The nature of car and plane travel is inherently subsidized, regulated, monitored, and most importantly permissioned by the State.

It's almost sad from a libertarian perspective to see how much "faux-individuality" is expressed by American car culture. We deck out our cars with custom decals, detail the interiors, and see them as some expression of our individuality and personal freedom. Meanwhile, practically every aspect of car travel, from the size and shape of the vehicles, the size and markings of roads, the guarantee (or at least reasonable expectation) that there will be available parking at both points of your journey... it's all a product of decades of subsidies, regulation, and Technocracy.

But I digress. No permission is needed to walk or ride a bike. And, assuming you pay your fare and are not violating the code of conduct, your permission to use public transit is assumed by default, rather than you needing to prove it, as is the case for both driving and flying.

Conclusion

Here I'm attempting to take stock of values that are important to many bitcoiners, as I perceive them (us?) as a group: Freedom, anonymity, and permissionless action. I've argued here that, applying these values to the mobility space, bitcoiners should focus on a combination of walking, biking, e-mobility, public transit, and trains over cars and air travel, as the former methods maximize these values over the latter.

I expect (if anyone's even reading this) there to be some cultural shock; the "modal" bitcoiner as I perceive them, much like the average libertarian, skews to the Right culturally (if not politically). And that might mean you're thinking "you'll pry my cold dead fingers off my F-150's steering wheel!" Or, maybe you're making (entirely reasonable) complaints: "But (bus system in my area) is non-existent or underfunded! But (street network in my area) doesn't even have sidewalks!"

All I'm saying is: convenience comes with a cost. You know what's convenient? The fiat system. Paying with your credit card. Driving everywhere. Freedom, like Bitcoin (heck like Nostr) is, at least for now, inconvenient. It takes effort to unlearn what you've learned, as Yoda put it. But the reward is a more free life.

Marty's Bent

via Kevin McKernan

There's been a lot of discussion this week about Casey Means being nominated for Surgeon General of the United States and a broader overarching conversation about the effectiveness of MAHA since the inauguration and how effective it may or may not be moving forward. Many would say that President Trump won re-election due to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Nicole Shanahan deciding to reach across the aisle and join the Trump ticket, bringing with them the MAHA Moms, who are very focused on reorienting the healthcare system in the United States with a strong focus on the childhood vaccine schedule.

I'm not going to lie, this is something I'm passionate about as well, particularly after having many conversations over the years with doctors like Kevin McKernan, Dr. Jack Kruse, Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, Dr. Brooke Miller, Dr. Peter McCullough and others about the dangers of the COVID mRNA vaccines. As it stands today, I think this is the biggest elephant in the room in the world of healthcare. If you look at the data, particularly disability claims, life insurance claims, life expectancy, miscarriage rates, fertility issues and rates of turbo cancer around the world since the COVID vaccine was introduced in 2021, it seems pretty clear that there is harm being done to many of the people who have taken them.

The risk-reward ratio of the vaccines seems to be incredibly skewed towards risk over reward and children - who have proven to be least susceptible to COVID - are expected to get three COVID shots in the first year of their life if their parents follow the vaccine schedule. For some reason or another it seems that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has shied away from this topic after becoming the head of Health and Human Services within the Trump administration. This is after a multi-year campaign during which getting the vaccines removed from the market war a core part of his platform messaging.

I'm still holding out hope that sanity will prevail. The COVID mRNA vaccines will be taken off the market in a serious conversation about the crimes against humanity that unfolded during the COVID years will take place. However, we cannot depend on that outcome. We must build with the assumption in mind that that outcome may never materialize. This leads to identifying where the incentives within the system are misconstrued. One area where I think it's pretty safe to say that the incentives are misaligned is the fact that 95% of doctors work for and answer to a corporation driven by their bottom line. Instead of listening to their patients and truly caring about the outcome of each individual, doctors forced to think about the monetary outcome of the corporation they work for first.

The most pernicious way in which these misaligned incentives emerge is the way in which the hospital systems and physicians are monetarily incentivized by big pharma companies to push the COVID vaccine and other vaccines on their patients. It is important to acknowledge that we cannot be dependent on a system designed in this way to change from within. Instead, we must build a new incentive system and market structure. And obviously, if you're reading this newsletter, you know that I believe that bitcoin will play a pivotal role in realigning incentives across every industry. Healthcare just being one of them.

Bitcoiners have identified the need to become sovereign in our monetary matters, it probably makes sense to become sovereign when it comes to our healthcare as well. This means finding doctors who operate outside the corporate controlled system and are able to offer services that align incentives with the end patient. My family utilizes a combination of CrowdHealth and a private care physician to align incentives. We've even utilized a private care physician who allowed us to pay in Bitcoin for her services for a number of years. I think this is the model. Doctors accepting hard censorship resistant money for the healthcare and advice they provide. Instead of working for a corporation looking to push pharmaceutical products on their patients so they can bolster their bottom line, work directly with patients who will pay in bitcoin, which will appreciate in value over time.

I had a lengthy discussion with Dr. Jack Kruse on the podcast earlier today discussing these topic and more. It will be released on Thursday and I highly recommend you freaks check it out once it is published. Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss it.

How the "Exorbitant Privilege" of the Dollar is Undermining Our Manufacturing Base

In my conversation with Lyn Alden, we explored America's fundamental economic contradiction. As Lyn expertly explained, maintaining the dollar's reserve currency status while attempting to reshore manufacturing presents a near-impossible challenge - what economists call Triffin's Dilemma. The world's appetite for dollars gives Americans tremendous purchasing power but simultaneously hollows out our industrial base. The overvalued dollar makes our exports less competitive, especially for lower-margin manufacturing, while our imports remain artificially strong.

"Having the reserve currency does come with a bunch of benefits, historically called an exorbitant privilege, but then it has certain costs to maintain it." - Lyn Alden

This dilemma forces America to run persistent trade deficits, as this is how dollars flow to the world. For over four decades, these deficits have accumulated, creating massive economic imbalances that can't be quickly reversed. The Trump administration's attempts to address this through tariffs showcase how difficult rebalancing has become. As Lyn warned, even if we successfully pivot toward reshoring manufacturing, we'll face difficult trade-offs: potentially giving up some reserve currency benefits to rebuild our industrial foundation. This isn't just economic theory - it's the restructuring challenge that will define America's economic future.

Check out the full podcast here for more on China's manufacturing dominance, the role of Bitcoin in monetary transitions, and energy production as the foundation for future industrial power.

I don’t like garlic. It’s not a dislike for the taste in the moment, so much as an extreme dislike for the way it stays with you—sometimes for days—after a particularly garlicky meal.

Interestingly enough, both of my brothers love garlic. They roast it by itself and keep it at the ready so they can have a very strong garlic profile in their cooking. When I prepare a dish, I don’t even see garlic on the ingredient list. I’ve cut it out of my life so completely that my brain genuinely skips over it in recipes. While my brothers are looking for ways to sneak garlic into everything they make, I’m subconsciously avoiding it altogether.

A few years back, when I was digging intensely into how design systems mature, I stumbled on the concept of a design system origin story. There are two extreme origin stories and an infinite number of possibilities between. On one hand you have the grassroots system, where individuals working on digital products are simply trying to solve their own daily problems. They’re frustrated with having to go cut and paste elements from past designs or with recreating the same layouts over and over, so they start to work more systematically. On the other hand, you have the top down system, where leadership is directing teams to take a more systematic approach, often forming a small partially dedicated core team to tackle some centralized assets and guidelines for all to follow. The influences in those early days bias a design system in interesting and impactful ways.

We’ve established that there are a few types of bias that are either intentionally or unintentionally embedded into our design systems. Acknowledging this is a great first step. But, what’s the impact of this? Does it matter?

I believe there are a few impacts design system biases, but there’s one that stands out. The bias in your design system makes some individuals feel the system is meant for them and others feel it’s not. This is a problem because, a design system cannot live up to it’s expected value until it is broadly in use. If individuals feel your design system is not for them, the won’t use it. And, as you know, it doesn’t matter how good your design system is if nobody is using it.

เราก็คุยเรื่อง Future Food กันมาสักพักแล้ว หลายคนอาจจะคิดว่ามีการจัดสรรกันลงตัวใช่ไหมครับ ต้องขอโทษด้วย โลกแห่งความเป็นจริงนั้น ผู้ล่าที่แข็งแกร่งถึงจะอยู่รอดเป็นจ่าฝูง (นี่ขนาดผู้ล่านะครับ เหยื่ออย่างเรา อย่าเจ๋อเลยเชียว ฮาๆๆ)

วันนี้เราจะมารู้จักผู้เล่นสนามนี้อีกเจ้านึง ที่เขย่าวงการชีส เช่นกันนั่นคือ Formo ผู้ที่ปฏิวัติวงการชีสด้วยเทคโนโลยี Precision Fermentation อีกเจ้านึงนั่นเองครับ

ถ้าพูดถึงชีส คนส่วนใหญ่มักนึกถึงกลิ่นหอม มัน เค็มละมุนของผลิตภัณฑ์จากนมวัว บางคนกินคู่ไวน์ บางคนโปะบนพิซซ่า หรือบางทีก็แค่ขูดโรยหน้าสลัดให้ดูดีมีระดับขึ้นมาทันตา แต่ในวันที่โลกหมุนไปเร็ว และการเคลื่อนสู่อาหารอนาคต นำทั้งเรื่องการใช้ทรัพยากรจากสัตว์ การปล่อยก๊าซเรือนกระจก และแม้แต่สุขภาพมาเป็นจุดเปลี่ยนของผลประโยชน์ระดับโลก

และนั่นคือจุดที่บริษัทเล็ก ๆ จากเยอรมนีที่ชื่อว่า “Formo” กำลังก้าวเข้ามาเปลี่ยนเกมในโลกของชีส ด้วยเทคโนโลยีที่เรียกว่า “precision fermentation” อีกเช่นกัน เทคโนโลยียอดนิยมที่ในวงการมีในครอบครองมากมายแต่ตลาดผู้บริโภค ยังแทบไม่เคยได้ยินกัน เทคโนโลยีที่ทำให้ไม่ต้องรีดนมหรือเลี้ยงวัวเลยสักตัว แต่ได้ชีสที่กลิ่น เนื้อสัมผัส และโปรตีนเคซีนเหมือนกับชีสจริงเป๊ะ ๆ ราวกับเสกขึ้นมา

Formo ใช้เชื้อราที่ชื่อว่า Aspergillus oryzae หรือที่เรารู้จักกันในชื่อ “โคจิ” ซึ่งมีประวัติการใช้งานยาวนานในอาหารเอเชียอย่างมิโสะ ซอสถั่วเหลือง และสาเก เชื้อนี้ถูกนำมาดัดแปลงพันธุกรรมให้สามารถผลิตโปรตีนเคซีน ซึ่งเป็นโปรตีนหลักในน้ำนมวัว จากนั้นก็เลี้ยงในถังหมัก (bioreactor) ภายใต้การควบคุมอย่างแม่นยำ เพื่อให้เชื้อราทำหน้าที่เป็นโรงงานชีวภาพขนาดจิ๋ว ผลิตโปรตีนออกมาอย่างปลอดภัยและมีประสิทธิภาพ เมื่อนำโปรตีนที่ได้มาผสมกับไขมันและส่วนประกอบอื่น ๆ ก็สามารถสร้างชีสที่ทั้งหน้าตา รสชาติ และเนื้อสัมผัสใกล้เคียงของจริงจนนักชิมสายแข็งยังต้องเลิกคิ้ว ซึ่งทั้งหมดนี้เกิดขึ้นโดยไม่ต้องใช้วัวเลยแม้แต่น้อย ลดการใช้ทรัพยากรธรรมชาติไปมหาศาล และยังหลีกเลี่ยงการใช้ยาปฏิชีวนะ ฮอร์โมน หรือปัจจัยเสี่ยงจากอุตสาหกรรมนมแบบดั้งเดิมอีกด้วย ถ้าไม่มองใส้ในนี่รับรองว่าได้ใจประชากรโลกไปแน่ๆอะครับ

ไม่ใช่แค่ มอสซาเรลลา แต่ชีสจาก Formo มีให้เลือกหลายแบบ ตั้งแต่ “Frischhain” ซึ่งเป็นชีสสเปรดนุ่ม ๆ มีรสสมุนไพรและมะเขือเทศ ไปจนถึง “Camembritz” ชีสนุ่มสไตล์ฝรั่งเศส และ “Cité Bleu” ที่มีกลิ่นแรงแบบบลูชีส เหมาะสำหรับคนที่ชอบความจัดจ้านของรสชาติ ส่วนใครที่ชอบความกลมกล่อม มัน ๆ แบบพรีเมียม “Charlottenbourg” และ “Le Kreuzberg” ก็เป็นตัวเลือกที่ไม่ควรพลาด ทุกชิ้นถูกออกแบบมาให้กินแล้วไม่รู้เลยยยยยยยว่าทำจากโปรตีนที่ผลิตจากจุลินทรีย์ ไม่ใช่นมวัว โดยวางจำหน่ายแล้วในร้านค้ากว่า 2,000 สาขาทั่วเยอรมนีและออสเตรีย ไม่ว่าจะเป็น REWE, BILLA หรือ METRO แปลว่าตลาดเริ่มยอมรับชีสไร้สัตว์ในระดับที่จับต้องได้จริง ไม่ใช่แค่ของเล่นในห้องแล็บอีกต่อไปแล้วครับ มันเกิดขึ้นแล้วในระดับสินค้าบริโภคทั่วไป

ความสำเร็จของ Formo ไม่ได้มาจากเทคโนโลยีอย่างเดียว แต่ยังเกิดจากการสร้างเครือข่ายพันธมิตรและการระดมทุนอย่างชาญฉลาด บริษัทระดมทุนไปแล้วกว่า 135 ล้านยูโรจากนักลงทุนทั่วโลก และได้รับเงินกู้จาก European Investment Bank อีก 35 ล้านยูโร เพื่อนำไปขยายโรงงานผลิตโปรตีนและพัฒนาผลิตภัณฑ์ให้หลากหลายขึ้น รวมถึงลดต้นทุนให้ถูกลง จนสามารถแข่งขันกับชีสจากนมวัวได้ในอนาคต อีกทั้งยังร่วมมือกับบริษัทเบลเยียมอย่าง Those Vegan Cowboys และกลุ่ม Food Fermentation Europe ในการเร่งวิจัยและผลักดันนโยบายให้เทคโนโลยีนี้ได้รับการรับรองในสหภาพยุโรปเร็วขึ้น ซึ่งหากสำเร็จ ก็อาจเป็นจุดเปลี่ยนที่ทำให้ชีสแบบดั้งเดิมต้องยอมหลีกทางให้ชีสจากการหมักอย่างเป็นทางการ

ทั้งหมดนี้ชวนให้เราตั้งคำถามว่า อะไรคือ “ชีสจริง” กันแน่? ถ้าโปรตีนโครงสร้างเหมือนกัน รสชาติเหมือนกัน แต่ผลิตได้อย่างยั่งยืนกว่า สุขภาพดีกว่า และไม่ต้องเบียดเบียนสัตว์ แล้วเรายังจะยึดติดกับภาพวัวนมในทุ่งหญ้าสีเขียวอยู่ไหม? หรือถึงเวลาที่เราจะเปิดใจให้กับชีสแบบใหม่ ที่ไม่ได้มาจากธรรมชาติแบบเดิม ๆ แต่เป็นผลลัพธ์ของความรู้ วิทยาศาสตร์ และความตั้งใจเปลี่ยนแปลงโลกให้การกำหนดอาหารว่า มนุษย์ควรกินอะไร อยู่ภายใต้การผลิตของโรงงาน มากกว่าธรรมชาติ

พรุ่งนี้เราจะมาดูกันครับ ว่าทาสการตลาดจะมองออกไหมว่า สิ่งที่องค์กรเหล่านี้โฆษณาไว้ มีจุดหลบเลี่ยงบาลีอย่างไร ให้แนวทางของเขาดูสวยหรู รักโลก #pirateketo #กูต้องรู้มั๊ย #ม้วนหางสิลูก #siamstr

Reasons why Lightning is not that great

Some Bitcoiners, me included, were fooled by hyperbolic discourse that presented Lightning as some magical scaling solution with no flaws. This is an attempt to list some of the actual flaws uncovered after 5 years of experience. The point of this article is not to say Lightning is a complete worthless piece of crap, but only to highlight the fact that Bitcoin needs to put more focus on developing and thinking about other scaling solutions (such as Drivechain, less crappy and more decentralized trusted channels networks and statechains).

Unbearable experience

Maintaining a node is cumbersome, you have to deal with closed channels, allocating funds, paying fees unpredictably, choosing new channels to open, storing channel state backups -- or you'll have to delegate all these decisions to some weird AI or third-party services, it's not feasible for normal people.

Channels fail for no good reason all the time

Every time nodes disagree on anything they close channels, there have been dozens, maybe hundreds, of bugs that lead to channels being closed in the past, and implementors have been fixing these bugs, but since these node implementations continue to be worked on and new features continue to be added we can be quite sure that new bugs continue to be introduced.

Trimmed (fake) HTLCs are not sound protocol design

What would you tell me if I presented a protocol that allowed for transfers of users' funds across a network of channels and that these channels would pledge to send the money to miners while the payment was in flight, and that these payments could never be recovered if a node in the middle of the hop had a bug or decided to stop responding? Or that the receiver could receive your payment, but still claim he didn't, and you couldn't prove that at all?

These are the properties of "trimmed HTLCs", HTLCs that are uneconomical to have their own UTXO in the channel presigned transaction bundles, therefore are just assumed to be there while they are not (and their amounts are instead added to the fees of the presigned transaction).

Trimmed HTLCs, like any other HTLC, have timelocks, preimages and hashes associated with them -- which are properties relevant to the redemption of actual HTLCs onchain --, but unlike actual HTLCs these things have no actual onchain meaning since there is no onchain UTXO associated with them. This is a game of make-believe that only "works" because (1) payment proofs aren't worth anything anyway, so it makes no sense to steal these; (2) channels are too expensive to setup; (3) all Lightning Network users are honest; (4) there are so many bugs and confusion in a Lightning Network node's life that events related to trimmed HTLCs do not get noticed by users.

Also, so far these trimmed HTLCs have only been used for very small payments (although very small payments probably account for 99% of the total payments), so it is supposedly "fine" to have them. But, as fees rise, more and more HTLCs tend to become fake, which may make people question the sanity of the design.

Tadge Dryja, one of the creators of the Lightning Network proposal, has been critical of the fact that these things were allowed to creep into the BOLT protocol.

Routing

Routing is already very bad today even though most nodes have a basically 100% view of the public network, the reasons being that some nodes are offline, others are on Tor and unreachable or too slow, channels have the balance shifted in the wrong direction, so payments fail a lot -- which leads to the (bad) solution invented by professional node runners and large businesses of probing the network constantly in order to discard bad paths, this creates unnecessary load and increases the risk of channels being dropped for no good reason.

As the network grows -- if it indeed grow and not centralize in a few hubs -- routing tends to become harder and harder.

While each implementation team makes their own decisions with regard to how to best way to route payments and these decisions may change at anytime, it's worth noting, for example, that CLN will use MPP to split up any payment in any number of chunks of 10k satoshis, supposedly to improve routing success rates. While this often backfires and causes payments to fail when they should have succeeded, it also contributes to making it so there are proportionally more fake HTLCs than there should be, as long as the threshold for fake HTLCs is above 10k.

Payment proofs are somewhat useless

Even though payment proofs were seen by many (including me) as one of the great things about Lightning, the sad fact is that they do not work as proofs if people are not aware of the fact that they are proofs. Wallets do all they can to hide these details from users because it is considered "bad UX" and low-level implementors do not care very much to talk about them at all. There have been attempts from Lightning Labs to get rid of the payment proofs entirely (which at the time to me sounded like a terrible idea, but now I realize they were not wrong).

Here's a piece of anecdote: I've personally witnessed multiple episodes in which Phoenix wallet released the preimage without having actually received the payment (they did receive a minor part of the payment, but the payment was split in many parts). That caused my service, @lntxbot, to mark the outgoing payment as complete, only then to have to endure complaints from the users because the receiver side, Phoenix, had not received the full amount. In these cases, if the protocol and the idea of preimages as payment proofs be respected, should I have been the one in charge of manually fixing user balances?

Another important detail: when an HTLC is sent and then something goes wrong with the payment the channel has to be closed in order to redeem that payment. When the redeemer is on the receiver side, the very act of redeeming should cause the preimage to be revealed and a proof of payment to be made available for the sender, who can then send that back to the previous hop and the payment is proven without any doubt. But when this happens for fake HTLCs (which is the vast majority of payments, as noted above) there is no place in the world for a preimage and therefore there are no proofs available. A channel is just closed, the payer loses money but can't prove a payment. It also can't send that proof back to the previous hop so he is forced to say the payment failed -- even if it wasn't him the one who declared that hop a failure and closed the channel, which should be a prerequisite. I wonder if this isn't the source of multiple bugs in implementations that cause channels to be closed unnecessarily. The point is: preimages and payment proofs are mostly a fiction.

Another important fact is that the proofs do not really prove anything if the keypair that signs the invoice can't be provably attached to a real world entity.

LSP-centric design

The first Lightning wallets to show up in the market, LND as a desktop daemon (then later with some GUIs on top of it like Zap and Joule) and Anton's BLW and Eclair wallets for mobile devices, then later LND-based mobile wallets like Blixt and RawTX, were all standalone wallets that were self-sufficient and meant to be run directly by consumers. Eventually, though, came Breez and Phoenix and introduced the "LSP" model, in which a server would be trusted in various forms -- not directly with users' funds, but with their privacy, fees and other details -- but most importantly that LSP would be the primary source of channels for all users of that given wallet software. This was all fine, but as time passed new features were designed and implemented that assumed users would be running software connected to LSPs. The very idea of a user having a standalone mobile wallet was put out of question. The entire argument for implementation of the bolt12 standard, for example, hinged on the assumption that mobile wallets would have LSPs capable of connecting to Google messaging services and being able to "wake up" mobile wallets in order for them to receive payments. Other ideas, like a complicated standard for allowing mobile wallets to receive payments without having to be online all the time, just assume LSPs always exist; and changes to the expected BOLT spec behavior with regards to, for example, probing of mobile wallets.

Ark is another example of a kind of LSP that got so enshrined that it become a new protocol that depends on it entirely.

Protocol complexity

Even though the general idea of how Lightning is supposed to work can be understood by many people (as long as these people know how Bitcoin works) the Lightning protocol is not really easy: it will take a long time of big dedication for anyone to understand the details about the BOLTs -- this is a bad thing if we want a world of users that have at least an idea of what they are doing. Moreover, with each new cool idea someone has that gets adopted by the protocol leaders, it increases in complexity and some of the implementors are kicked out of the circle, therefore making it easier for the remaining ones to proceed with more and more complexity. It's the same process by which Chrome won the browser wars, kicked out all competitors and proceeded to make a supposedly open protocol, but one that no one can implement as it gets new and more complex features every day, all envisioned by the Chrome team.

Liquidity issues?

I don't believe these are a real problem if all the other things worked, but still the old criticism that Lightning requires parking liquidity and that has a cost is not a complete non-issue, specially given the LSP-centric model.

Since 2022, Dungeons and Dragons has been going down a sort of death spiral after the release of a revised version of 5th Edition... which didn't turn out very well to say the least. In light of that, I present a list of TTRPGs you can play if you don't want to purchase 5E. I wouldn't recommend 5E, as I've DM'd it in the past. It tastes like a lollipop that's cockroach and larvae flavored.

This list of TTRPG games is in no particular order, though my favorite of these systems is number one.

1. Basic Fantasy Role-Playing Game (BFRPG)
2. B/X-style OSR retroclone with ascending armor class, and the original retroclone from 2006
3. Fully libre under CC BY-SA for the 4th Edition, and OGL 1.0a for 1-3 Editions.
4. Full books are free PDF files on the website (Basic Fantasy Website)
5. All BFRPG editions are compatible with each other, meaning you can have a 3rd Edition book to a 4th Edition game and still have fun. 4th Edition is just the removal of the 3E SRD that's in the OGL editions.
6. As with the core rulebooks, all the supplementation is free as a PDF as well, though you can buy physical books at cost (BFRPG principal rights holder Chris Gonnerman doesn't make much profit from Basic Fantasy)
7. Old-school community that's an all-around fantastic group of players, authors and enthusiasts.

8. Fun Fact: Out of all the TTRPGs I'd want to DM/GM the most, it'd be this one by far.

9. Iron Falcon (IF)

10. OD&D-style retroclone from 2015 (It's also by Gonnerman, same guy behind BFRPG)
11. A close ruleset to the White Box rules and supplements
12. Also fully libre under CC BY-SA for the latest releases, just like BFRPG for 4th Edition releases
13. Just like BFRPG, the core rules and supplementation come as PDF files for free, or physical books.

14. Fast and loose ruleset open to interpretation, just like in 1975-1981... somewhere right around that timeline for OD&D

15. Old-School Reference and Index Compendium (OSRIC)

16. AD&D 1E-based retroclone by Stewart Marshall and Matt Finch
17. An old system that surprisingly still holds up, even after a long time of no new versions of the rules
18. Extremely in-depth ruleset, licensed under OGL 1.0a and OSRIC Open License
19. Compatible with AD&D 1e modules for the 1st Edition, though 2.2 potentially has its own supplementation

20. I don't know much about it, as I'd be too slow to learn it. That's all I know, which is the above.

21. Ironsworn

22. Custom loosely-based PbtA (Powered by the Apocalypse) system by Shawn Tomkin from 2018
23. Includes GM, GMless and solo play in the rulebook
24. Supplementation is surely something else with one look at the downloads section for the PDFs of the original, which is free under CC BY-NC-SA. The SRD is under CC BY otherwise.
25. No original adventures are made for this system as are known, as it's expected that the Ironlands are where they take place

26. Fun Fact: This was a non-D&D system I considered running as a GM.

27. Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition (AD&D 2e)

28. An official edition from 1989-2000
29. At the time, the most customizable edition in its history, before 3E took the spot as the most customizable edition
30. A streamlined revision of the AD&D 1E rules (AD&D 1E was exclusively written by E. Gary Gygax)
31. The end of old-school D&D, as 3E and beyond are different games altogether
32. Wide array of supplementation, which oversaturated 2E's customization... and most of it didn't sell well as a result
33. Final TSR-published edition of D&D, as they went bankrupt and out of business during this edition's life cycle, to then be liquidated to Wizards of the Coast (Boy did WOTC mess it up once 5.1E was released)

34. Fun Fact: A Canadian history professor named Dr. Robert Wardough runs a customized ruleset using 2E as a base, which he's been DMing since the 80's during the "Satanic Panic" (The Satanic Panic was fake as a result of horrible deceivers gaslighting people to not play D&D). He started RAW (Rules as Written), but saw some things he needed to change for his games, so he did so over time.

35. Moldvay/Cook Basic/Expert Dungeons & Dragons (B/X)

36. Competing system to 1E from 1981 and 1982
37. Official edition of D&D, part of the old-school era
38. Simplified rules for Basic, but some decently complex rules for Expert
39. Only goes up to Lv. 14, as it's potentially a 1E or White Box primer (similar to 1977 Basic)
40. Supplementation, from some research done, was decent for the time, and a little bit extensive
41. The inspiration for BFRPG in 2006 (Did I mention this already? Maybe I have, but I might emphasize that here too.)

42. Fun Fact: I considered running B/X, but decided that I'd do BFRPG, as the ascending armor class is easier math than with B/X and the THAC0 armor class (descending armor class).

43. Basic, Expert, Companion, Master, Immortal Dungeons & Dragons (BECMI) and/or Rules Cyclopedia

44. 1983 variant of the Moldvay/Cook Basic/Expert system, an official edition and part of the old-school era
45. Essentially, 1981 B/X D&D on steroids
46. 5 boxed sets were released for the five parts of the rules for this system
47. Rules Cyclopedia is a reprint of the 1983 Basic, Expert, Companion and Master rules boxed sets. The Immortal set was never reprinted outside of the original boxed set because Immortal is such a bizarre game within a game altogether.
48. With the first 4 boxed sets (whether individual sets or the Rules Cyclopedia), levels are 1-36

49. Fun Fact: This edition I was considering DMing as well, alongside BFRPG. They're similar rulesets with some mechanical differences, but I think either or would be worth it.

50. Original Dungeons & Dragons (OD&D or White Box)

51. The original release of D&D from 1974 written by Gygax and Dave Arneson, published by TSR
52. Uses the rules from Chainmail, a wargame made by Gygax and Jeff Perren
53. Base has three little booklets (Men & Magic, Monsters & Magic, and The Underworld & Wilderness Adventures), five official supplements were released (Greyhawk; Blackmoor; Eldritch Wizardry; Gods, Demi-Gods and Heroes; and Swords & Spells), and many more from fanzines
54. Fast and loose ruleset open to interpretation
55. Not based upon adventurers taking on dangerous quest, but kings commanding armies (which is why OD&D is actually a Chainmail supplement). The latter was the original purpose of D&D before it got changed in 2000.

There are many more games that are not D&D that you can look up too. See what you like, read the rules, learn them, and start playing with your group. Have fun and slay some monsters!

Multi-service Graph Reputation protocol

The problem

1. Users inside centralized services need to know reputations of other users they're interacting with;
2. Building reputation with ratings imposes a big burden on the user and still accomplishes nothing, can be faked, no one cares about these ratings etc.

The ideal solution

Subjective reputation: reputation based on how you rated that person previously, and how other people you trust rated that person, and how other people trusted by people you trust rated that person and so on, in a web-of-trust that actually can give you some insight on the trustworthiness of someone you never met or interacted with.

The problem with the ideal solution

1. Most of the times the service that wants to implement this is not as big as Facebook, so it won't have enough people in it for such graphs of reputation to be constructed.
2. It is not trivial to build.

My proposed solution:

I've drafted a protocol for an open system based on services publishing their internal reputation records and indexers using these to build graphs, and then serving the graphs back to the services so they can show them to users when it is needed (as HTTP APIs that can be called directly from the user client app or browser).

Crucially, these indexers will gather data from multiple services and cross-link users from these services so the graph is better.

https://github.com/fiatjaf/multi-service-reputation-rfc

The first and single actionable and useful feedback I got, from @bootstrapbandit was that services shouldn't share email addresses in plain text (email addresses and other external relationships users of a service may have are necessary to establish links from users accross services), but I think it is ok if services publish hashes of these email addresses instead. At some point I will update the spec draft and that may have been before the time you're reading this.

Another issue is that services may lie about their reputation records and that will hurt other services and users in these other services that are relying on that data. Maybe indexers will have to do some investigative job here to assert service honesty. Or maybe this entire protocol is just failed and we will actually need a system in which users themselves will publish their own records.

@ d61f3bc5:0da6ef4a

I remember the first gathering of Nostr devs two years ago in Costa Rica. We were all psyched because Nostr appeared to solve the problem of self-sovereign online identity and decentralized publishing. The protocol seemed well-suited for textual content, but it wasn't really designed to handle binary files, like images or video.

The Problem

When I publish a note that contains an image link, the note itself is resilient thanks to Nostr, but if the hosting service disappears or takes my image down, my note will be broken forever. We need a way to publish binary data without relying on a single hosting provider.

We were discussing how there really was no reliable solution to this problem even outside of Nostr. Peer-to-peer attempts like IPFS simply didn't work; they were hopelessly slow and unreliable in practice. Torrents worked for popular files like movies, but couldn't be relied on for general file hosting.

Awesome Blossom

A year later, I attended the Sovereign Engineering demo day in Madeira, organized by Pablo and Gigi. Many projects were presented over a three hour demo session that day, but one really stood out for me.

Introduced by hzrd149 and Stu Bowman, Blossom blew my mind because it showed how we can solve complex problems easily by simply relying on the fact that Nostr exists. Having an open user directory, with the corresponding social graph and web of trust is an incredible building block.

Since we can easily look up any user on Nostr and read their profile metadata, we can just get them to simply tell us where their files are stored. This, combined with hash-based addressing (borrowed from IPFS), is all we need to solve our problem.

How Blossom Works

The Blossom protocol (Blobs Stored Simply on Mediaservers) is formally defined in a series of BUDs (Blossom Upgrade Documents). Yes, Blossom is the most well-branded protocol in the history of protocols. Feel free to refer to the spec for details, but I will provide a high level explanation here.

The main idea behind Blossom can be summarized in three points:

1. Users specify which media server(s) they use via their public Blossom settings published on Nostr;
2. All files are uniquely addressable via hashes;
3. If an app fails to load a file from the original URL, it simply goes to get it from the server(s) specified in the user's Blossom settings.

Just like Nostr itself, the Blossom protocol is dead-simple and it works!

Let's use this image as an example:

If you look at the URL for this image, you will notice that it looks like this:

blossom.primal.net/c1aa63f983a44185d039092912bfb7f33adcf63ed3cae371ebe6905da5f688d0.jpg

All Blossom URLs follow this format:

[server]/[file-hash].[extension]

The file hash is important because it uniquely identifies the file in question. Apps can use it to verify that the file they received is exactly the file they requested. It also gives us the ability to reliably get the same file from a different server.

Nostr users declare which media server(s) they use by publishing their Blossom settings. If I store my files on Server A, and they get removed, I can simply upload them to Server B, update my public Blossom settings, and all Blossom-capable apps will be able to find them at the new location. All my existing notes will continue to display media content without any issues.

Blossom Mirroring

Let's face it, re-uploading files to another server after they got removed from the original server is not the best user experience. Most people wouldn't have the backups of all the files, and/or the desire to do this work.

This is where Blossom's mirroring feature comes handy. In addition to the primary media server, a Blossom user can set one one or more mirror servers. Under this setup, every time a file is uploaded to the primary server the Nostr app issues a mirror request to the primary server, directing it to copy the file to all the specified mirrors. This way there is always a copy of all content on multiple servers and in case the primary becomes unavailable, Blossom-capable apps will automatically start loading from the mirror.

Mirrors are really easy to setup (you can do it in two clicks in Primal) and this arrangement ensures robust media handling without any central points of failure. Note that you can use professional media hosting services side by side with self-hosted backup servers that anyone can run at home.

Using Blossom Within Primal

Blossom is natively integrated into the entire Primal stack and enabled by default. If you are using Primal 2.2 or later, you don't need to do anything to enable Blossom, all your media uploads are blossoming already.

To enhance user privacy, all Primal apps use the "/media" endpoint per BUD-05, which strips all metadata from uploaded files before they are saved and optionally mirrored to other Blossom servers, per user settings. You can use any Blossom server as your primary media server in Primal, as well as setup any number of mirrors:

## Conclusion

For such a simple protocol, Blossom gives us three major benefits:

1. Verifiable authenticity. All Nostr notes are always signed by the note author. With Blossom, the signed note includes a unique hash for each referenced media file, making it impossible to falsify.
2. File hosting redundancy. Having multiple live copies of referenced media files (via Blossom mirroring) greatly increases the resiliency of media content published on Nostr.
3. Censorship resistance. Blossom enables us to seamlessly switch media hosting providers in case of censorship.

Thanks for reading; and enjoy! 🌸

💡 What Is Flash USDT?

Flash USDT is a synthetic transaction method that simulates the transfer of Tether (USDT) into a wallet. These transactions appear instantly in wallet balances — without ever being confirmed on the blockchain — and disappear after a short time or block interval.

Think of it as a temporary, visual representation of USDT that looks real in a wallet but vanishes after expiry.

🧠 Flash USDT: The Basics

• 👁️ Visible in supported wallets
• confirmed on-chain
• ⏱️ Disappears after 20–60 minutes (or X blocks)
• 💸 Can be withdrawn and traded
• ⚙️ Used in wallet testing, UI simulation, and balance display demos

Also known as:

• Flash USDT Wallet Tool
• Flash USDT Sender
• Atomic Flash USDT
• Flash USDT Binance Sim

🛠️ How Flash USDT Works

1. You input a wallet address (TRC20, ERC20, or BEP20)
2. Flash USDT software sends an instant transaction
3. Wallet displays the amount — as if it were real
4. After expiry (e.g., 30 minutes), the tokens vanish

It creates the illusion of a deposit without requiring real blockchain confirmation. Most users use Flash USDT for:

• Wallet UI testing
• “Proof of funds” simulations
• Demo environments
• Smart contract UX testing

🔧 Supported Networks & Wallets

Flash USDT supports all major token standards:

• 🔸 TRC20 (Tron Network)
• 🔸 ERC20 (Ethereum)
• 🔸 BEP20 (Binance Smart Chain)

It works with wallets such as:

• ✅ Trust Wallet
• ✅ MetaMask
• ✅ TronLink
• ✅ Binance Wallet
• ✅ Atomic Wallet

The balance appears instantly, just like a real incoming USDT deposit.

A full catalog of all Brazilian doulas with data carefully scrapped from many websites that contained partial catalogs and some data manually included. All this packaged as a Couchapp and served directly from Cloudant.

This was done because the idea of doulas was good, but I spotted an issue: pregnant womwn should know many doulas before choosing one that would match well, therefore a full catalog with a lot of information was necessary.

This was a huge amount of work mostly wasted.

Many doulas who knew about this didn't like it and sent angry and offensive emails telling me to remove them. This was information one should know before choosing a doula.

Bitcoin Is A Joke

Joe Weisenthal Nov 6, 2013, 10:42 PM UTC

REUTERS/Eliana Aponte

Bitcoin is back in the news, as the digital currency has surged to new all-time highs in recent weeks.

A few weeks ago, it was just above $100. Today it's over $260.

This surge has prompted Timothy B Lee at The Washington Post to ask whether those who have called it a bubble in the past should retract and admit that they were wrong.

Well I'm not totally sure if I've called it a bubble, but I have spoken negatively of it, and I'll say that I still think it's a joke, and probably in a bubble.

Now first of all, I find the premise of Lee's post to be hilarious. The currency has been surging several percent every day lately, and that's evidence that it's not in a bubble?

Before going on, I want to be clear that saying something is a bubble is not saying it will go down. It could go to $500 or $1000 or $10,000. That's the nature of manias.

But make no mistake, Bitcoin is not the currency of the future. It has no intrinsic value.

Now this idea of "intrinsic value" when it comes to currency bothers people, and Bitcoin Bugs will immediately ask why the U.S. dollar has intrinsic value. There's an answer to that. The U.S. Dollar has intrinsic value because the U.S. government which sets the laws of doing business in the United States says it has intrinsic value. If you want to conduct commerce in the United States you have to pay taxes, and there's only one currency you're allowed to pay taxes in: U.S. dollars. There's no getting around this fact. Furthermore, if you want to use the banking system at all, there's no choice but to use U.S. dollars, because that's the currency of the Fed which is behind the whole thing.

On top of all these laws requiring the U.S. dollar to be used, the United States has a gigantic military that can force people around the world to use dollars (if it came to that) so yes, there's a lot of real-world value behind greenbacks.

Bitcoin? Nada. There's nothing keeping it being a thing. If people lose faith in it, it's over. Bitcoin is fiat currency in the most literal sense of the word.

But it gets worse. Bitcoin is mostly just a speculative vehicle. Yes, there are PR stunts about bars and other shops accepting bitcoins. And there is a Bitcoin ATM for some reason. But mostly Bitcoin is a speculative vehicle. And really, you'd be insane to actually conduct a sizable amount of commerce in bitcoins. That's because the price swings so wildly, that the next day, there's a good chance that one of the parties will have gotten royally screwed. Either the purchaser of the good will have ended up totally blowing a huge opportunity (by not holding longer) or the seller will be totally screwed (if Bitcoin instantly plunges). The very volatility that excited people to want to play the Bitcoin game is death when it comes to real transactions in the real world.

Again, Bitcoin might go up a lot more before it ultimately ends. That's the nature of bubbles. The dotcom bubble crashed a bunch of times on its way up. Then one day it ended. The same will happen with this.

In the meantime, have fun speculating!

Crabtree's Framework for Evaluating Human-Centered Research

Picture this: You've spent three weeks conducting qualitative research for a finance app redesign. You carefully recruited 12 participants, conducted in-depth interviews, and identified patterns around financial anxiety and decision paralysis. You're excited to present your findings when the inevitable happens:

"But are these results statistically significant?"

"Just 12 people? How can we make decisions that affect thousands of users based on conversations with just 12 people?"

As UX professionals, we regularly face stakeholders who evaluate our qualitative research using criteria designed for quantitative methods... This misalignment undermines the unique value qualitative research brings to product development.

Idéia de um sistema jurídico centralizado, mas com um pouco de lógica

um processo, é, essencialmente, imagino eu na minha ingenuidade leiga, um apelo que se faz ao juiz para que este reconheça certos fatos como probantes de um certo fenômeno tipificado por uma certa lei.

imagino então o seguinte:

uma petição não é mais um enorme documento escrito numa linguagem nojenta com referências a leis e a evidências factuais espalhadas segundo a (in) capacidade ensaística do advogado, mas apenas um esquema lógico - talvez até um diagrama desenhado (ou talvez quem sabe uma série de instruções compreensíveis por um computador?) - mostrando a ligação entre a lei e os fatos e os pedidos, por exemplo:

1. a lei tal diz que ninguém pode vender
2. fulano vendeu cigarros
3. é prova de que fulano vendeu cigarros ia foto tirada na rua tal no dia tal que mostra fulano vendendo cigarros
4. a mesma lei pede que fulano pague uma multa

este exemplo está ainda muito verborrágico, mas é só um exemplo simples. coisas mais complicadas precisariam de outras formas de expressão caso queiramos evitar as longas dissertações jurídicas em voga.

a idéia é que o esquema acima vale por si. um proto-juiz pode julgá-lo como válido ou inválido apenas pela sua lógica interna.

a outra parte do julgamento seria a ligação desse esquema com a realidade externa: anexados à petição viriam as evidências. no caso, anexada ao ponto 3 viria uma foto do fulano. ao ponto 1 também precisa ser anexado o texto da lei referida, mas isto pode ser feito automaticamente pelo número da lei.

uma vez que tenhamos um esquema lógico válido um outro proto-juiz, ou vários outros, pode julgar individualmente cada evidência: ver se o texto da lei confere com a interpretação feita no ponto 1, e se a foto anexada ao ponto 3 é mesmo a foto do réu vendendo cigarro e não a de um urso comendo laranjas.

cada um desses julgamentos pode ser feito sem que o proto-juiz tenha conhecimento do resto das coisas do processo: o primeiro proto-juiz não precisa ver a foto ou a lei, o segundo não precisa ver o esquema lógico ou a foto, o terceiro não precisa ver a lei nem o esquema lógico, e mesmo assim teríamos um julgamento de procedência ou não da petição ao final, o mais impessoal e provavelmente o mais justo possível.

a defesa consistiria em apontar erros no esquema lógico ou falhas no nexo entre a realidade é o esquema. por exemplo:

1. uma foto assim não é uma prova de que fulano vendeu, ele podia estar só passando lá perto.
2. ele estava de fato só passando lá perto. do que é prova este documento mostrando seu comparecimento a uma aula do curso de direito da UFMG no mesmo horário.

perdoem-me se estiver falando besteira, mas são 5h e estou ainda dormindo. obviamente há vários pontos problemáticos aí, e quero entendê-los, mas a forma geral me parece bem razoável.

o que descrevi acima é uma proposta, digamos, de sistema jurídico que não se diferencia em nada do nosso sistema jurídico atual, exceto na forma (não no sentido escolástico). é também uma tentativa de compreender sua essência.

as vantagens desse formato ao atual são muitas:

• menos papel, coisas pra ler, repetição infinita de citações legais e longuíssimas dissertações escritas por advogados analfabetos que destroem a língua e a inteligência de todos
• diminuição drástica do tempo gasto por cada juiz em cada processo
• diminuição do poder de cada juiz (se cada ato de julgamento humano necessário em cada processo pode ser feito por qualquer juiz, sem conhecimento dos outros aspectos do mesmo processo, tudo é muito mais rápido, e cada julgamento desses pode ser feito por vários juízes diferentes, escolhidos aleatoriamente)
• diminuição da pomposidade de casa juiz: com menos poder e obrigações maus simples, um juiz não precisa ser mais uma pessoa especial que ganha milhões, pode ser uma pessoa comum, um proto-juiz, ganhando menos (o que possibilitaria até ter mais desses e aumentar a confiabilidade de cada julgamento)
• os juízes podem trabalhar da casa deles e a qualquer momento
• passa a ter sentido a existência de um sistema digital de processos (porque é ridículo que o sistema digital atual seja só uma forma de passar documentos do Word de um lado para o outro)
• o fim das audiências de conciliação, que são uma monstruosidade criada apenas pela necessidade de diminuir a quantidade de processos em tramitação e acabam retirandobo sentido da justiça (as partes são levemente pressionadas a ignorar a validade ou não das suas posições e fazer um acordo, sob pena de o juiz ficar com raiva delas depois)

milhares de precauções devem ser tomadas caso um sistema desses vá ser implantado (ahahah), talvez manter uma forma de julgamento tradicional, de corpo presente e com um juiz ou júri que tem conhecimento de toda situação, mas apenas para processos que chegarem até certo ponto, e assim por diante.

Du bist recht appetitlich oben anzuschauen, \ doch unten hin die Bestie macht mir Grauen. \ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Wie wenig bekömmlich sogenannte «Ultra-Processed Foods» wie Fertiggerichte, abgepackte Snacks oder Softdrinks sind, hat kürzlich eine neue Studie untersucht. Derweil kann Fleisch auch wegen des Einsatzes antimikrobieller Mittel in der Massentierhaltung ein Problem darstellen. Internationale Bemühungen, diesen Gebrauch zu reduzieren, um die Antibiotikaresistenz bei Menschen einzudämmen, sind nun möglicherweise gefährdet.

Leider ist Politik oft mindestens genauso unappetitlich und ungesund wie diverse Lebensmittel. Die «Corona-Zeit» und ihre Auswirkungen sind ein beredtes Beispiel. Der Thüringer Landtag diskutiert gerade den Entwurf eines «Coronamaßnahmen-Unrechtsbereinigungsgesetzes» und das kanadische Gesundheitsministerium versucht, tausende Entschädigungsanträge wegen Impfnebenwirkungen mit dem Budget von 75 Millionen Dollar unter einen Hut zu bekommen. In den USA soll die Zulassung von Covid-«Impfstoffen» überdacht werden, während man sich mit China um die Herkunft des Virus streitet.

Wo Corona-Verbrecher von Medien und Justiz gedeckt werden, verfolgt man Aufklärer und Aufdecker mit aller Härte. Der Anwalt und Mitbegründer des Corona-Ausschusses Reiner Fuellmich, der seit Oktober 2023 in Untersuchungshaft sitzt, wurde letzte Woche zu drei Jahren und neun Monaten verurteilt – wegen Veruntreuung. Am Mittwoch teilte der von vielen Impfschadensprozessen bekannte Anwalt Tobias Ulbrich mit, dass er vom Staatsschutz verfolgt wird und sich daher künftig nicht mehr öffentlich äußern werde.

Von der kommenden deutschen Bundesregierung aus Wählerbetrügern, Transatlantikern, Corona-Hardlinern und Russenhassern kann unmöglich eine Verbesserung erwartet werden. Nina Warken beispielsweise, die das Ressort Gesundheit übernehmen soll, diffamierte Maßnahmenkritiker als «Coronaleugner» und forderte eine Impfpflicht, da die wundersamen Injektionen angeblich «nachweislich helfen». Laut dem designierten Außenminister Johann Wadephul wird Russland «für uns immer der Feind» bleiben. Deswegen will er die Ukraine «nicht verlieren lassen» und sieht die Bevölkerung hinter sich, solange nicht deutsche Soldaten dort sterben könnten.

Eine wichtige Personalie ist auch die des künftigen Regierungssprechers. Wenngleich Hebestreit an Arroganz schwer zu überbieten sein wird, dürfte sich die Art der Kommunikation mit Stefan Kornelius in der Sache kaum ändern. Der Politikchef der Süddeutschen Zeitung «prägte den Meinungsjournalismus der SZ» und schrieb «in dieser Rolle auch für die Titel der Tamedia». Allerdings ist, anders als noch vor zehn Jahren, die Einbindung von Journalisten in Thinktanks wie die Deutsche Atlantische Gesellschaft (DAG) ja heute eher eine Empfehlung als ein Problem.

Ungesund ist definitiv auch die totale Digitalisierung, nicht nur im Gesundheitswesen. Lauterbachs Abschiedsgeschenk, die «abgesicherte» elektronische Patientenakte (ePA) ist völlig überraschenderweise direkt nach dem Bundesstart erneut gehackt worden. Norbert Häring kommentiert angesichts der Datenlecks, wer die ePA nicht abwähle, könne seine Gesundheitsdaten ebensogut auf Facebook posten.

Dass die staatlichen Kontrolleure so wenig auf freie Software und dezentrale Lösungen setzen, verdeutlicht die eigentlichen Intentionen hinter der Digitalisierungswut. Um Sicherheit und Souveränität geht es ihnen jedenfalls nicht – sonst gäbe es zum Beispiel mehr Unterstützung für Bitcoin und für Initiativen wie die der Spar-Supermärkte in der Schweiz.

Why I don't like NIP-26 as a solution for key management

NIP-26 was created out of the needs of the Nostr integration at https://minds.com/. They wanted Minds users to be able to associate their "custodial" Nostr key with an external self-owned key. NIP-26 looked like a nice fit for the job, because it would allow supporting clients to associate the two identities statelessly (i.e. by just seeing one event published by Minds but with a delegation tag on it the client would be able to associate that with the self-owned external key without anything else[^1]).

The big selling point of NIP-26 (to me) was that it was fully optional. Clients were free to not implement it and they would not suffer much. They would just see "bob@minds.com" published this, and "bob-self-owned" published that. They would probably know intuitively that these two were the same person, or not, but it wouldn't be an issue. Both would still be identified as Bob and have a picture, a history and so on. Moreover, this wasn't expected to happen a lot, it would be mostly for the small intersection of people that wanted to have their own keys and also happened to be using one of these "custodial Nostr" platforms like Minds.

At some point, though, NIP-26 started to be seen as the solution for key management on Nostr. The idea is that someone will generate a very safe key on a hardware device and guard it as their most precious treasure without it ever touching the internet, and use it just to sign delegation tags. Then use multiple of these delegation tags, one for each different Nostr app, and maybe rotate them every month or so, details are unclear.

This breaks the previous expectations I had for NIP-26 entirely, as now these keys become faceless entities that can't be associated with anything except their "master" key (the one that is in cold storage). So in a world in which most Nostr users are using NIP-26 for everything, clients that do not implement NIP-26 become completely useless, as all they will see is a constant stream of random keys. They won't be able to follow anyone or interact with anyone, as these keys will not identify any concrete person on their back, they will vanish all the time and new keys will show up and the world will be chaotic. So now every client must implement NIP-26 to become usable at all, it is not optional anymore.

You may argue that making NIP-26 a de facto mandatory NIP isn't a bad thing and is worth the cost, but I think it breaks a lot of the simplicity of the protocol. It would probably be worth the cost if we knew NIP-26 was an actual complete solution, but it definitely is not, it is partial, and not the most elegant thing in the world. I think key management can be solved in multiple different ways that can all work together or not, but most importantly they can all remain optional.

More thoughts on these multiple ways can be found at Thoughts on Nostr key management.

If I am wrong about all this and we really come to the conclusion that we need a de facto mandatory key delegation method for Nostr, so be it -- but in that case, considering that we will break backwards-compatibility anyway, I think there might be a better design than NIP-26, more optimized and easier to implement, I don't know how exactly. But I really think we shouldn't rush that.

[^1]: as opposed to other suggestions that would also work, but that would require dealing with multiple events -- for example, the external user could publish a new replaceable event -- or use kind:0 -- to say they wanted to grandfather the Minds key into their umbrella, while the Minds key would also need to signal its acceptance of that. This also had the problem of requiring changes every time a new replaceable event of such kind was found. Although I am unsure now, at the time me and William agreed this was worse than NIP-26 with the delegation tag.

@ c253bd19:7911dadc

I've been recently rethinking my digital footprint and going through something of a digital bath. I came to the realization that I have a lot of data floating around in various cloud services. In my defense, back in the dinosaur age, it was pretty much the only way to sync data between multiple devices without too much hassle. We all accepted the fact that our data was the price for convenience and we went on living our lives, hoping that the corporations we entrusted our data with wouldn't get too evil. How naive.

Luckily, those days are far in the past and we now have somewhat reasonable self-hosting options. To make success more likely, I decided to focus on just one tiny bit of my cloud presence: notes. It's not that I am overly organized, but my brain just works better when I jot things down, so I take a lot of notes. More precisely, a lot of low-importance notes. Think about 20 different stale to-do lists, random measurements, flight numbers, book titles, recipes... you get the idea.

I've been using Google Keep forever but, like I said, I realized that the price — all my data — might be too steep for what I actually need from a note-taking app:

• I need a simple interface supporting multiple notes and markdown
• I need my notes to be synced between my devices, but it definitely does not have to be every second.
• I need my notes to be backed up, but it definitely does not have to be real-time. And even if I lose all my notes, it won't actually be the end of the world.

I set out to explore the current options and I came across the StartOS & Nextcloud solution, which can be self-hosted on a low-power device such as a Raspberry Pi. I have been playing with the setup for a while now and I decided to share my experience.

Before we move on, a few disclaimers:

• I am not affiliated with StartOS or with Nextcloud at all. I came across these products randomly, I like them, and I just decided to share my experience.
• This post is by no means any official guide and I refuse to take any responsibility for anyone losing their data. Be reasonable, people. The official docs are pretty good — this is a mere walkthrough describing my experience.
• My daily driver is a MacBook Pro, so all the examples below are from macOS and might need to be adjusted for different machines.
• This actually turned out to be more writing than I anticipated, so I decided to make it a series of posts.

Things Needed

• Raspberry Pi 4 8GB with a reliable power source
• 64GB high-endurance micro SD card
• Ethernet cable and access to your local network router
• Laptop or another device for setting things up
• Software for flashing the SD card with the OS

Getting Your Hands Dirty

Alright, here we go!

The centerpiece of the whole setup will be your Raspberry Pi running in your local network. Let's start with a few remarks about that:

• As of writing this, the latest Pi model is the 5, but — and this is important — at this moment StartOS 3.5 cannot run on anything newer than Pi 4. I totally didn't do my homework and ended up buying the 5 without checking, and then spent an hour trying to figure out why it wouldn't boot. In the end, I had to buy the 4 and now have a spare Pi lying around. Oh well, a spare Raspberry always comes in handy.
• Get a good quality power source for your Pi. They're known to be quite finicky if not fed properly, and way too many hours of troubleshooting have been wasted due to a lousy power source.
• We've all been guilty of just plugging a Raspberry Pi in and tossing the bare circuit board on a shelf, letting it do its thing. This one is to be trusted with your data, so you might as well give it a nice protective shell. I got this one here and printed it in transparent PETG. It's sturdy and it looks great. And it took a mere hour to print.

Okay, now that we have the Raspberry Pi housekeeping out of the way, let's set it up.

Installing StartOS

First, head to the StartOS GitHub repo and download the latest build for Raspberry Pi. As of writing this, it was v0.3.5.1. Once you have the file, you should verify the checksum to make sure it hasn't been tampered with. You can do it by running

openssl dgst -sha256 <downloaded_file_name>

I usually just copy the output and do cmd + f on the GitHub page and make sure that it finds the checksum by the build I downloaded.

Once you confirm that you have the legit release, it's time to flash the micro SD card 🌶️🌶️. I use Raspberry Pi Imager, but there are plenty of alternatives too. You can get this one using Homebrew:

brew install --cask raspberry-pi-imager open -a "Raspberry Pi Imager"

It should be pretty straightforward: you select your RPi model, the StartOS image you downloaded (it will be under the Custom OS option), and the micro SD card that should be plugged into your laptop. Double-check you selected the correct micro SD card because the process will erase any data on the selected device. Raspberry Pi Imager will ask you if you want to customize the OS settings before flashing. You should say no to that since StartOS has its own setup later on. Once everything is set up, hit Next and you should get something like this:

The process should take about 5 minutes and eventually you should get a confirmation like this:

Success! Now eject your micro SD card and it's time to boot up the Pi. Insert the micro SD card, plug in the Ethernet cable and plug the other end directly into your main router. Finally, plug in the Pi power source.

The Pi should boot up. Look for the status LED to be steady red and also check that the LEDs by the Ethernet port are flashing yellow. If you can't confirm either of those, talk to your friendly neighborhood GPT; usually, the different states of the status LEDs have some meaning that should help you troubleshoot.

Once the Pi is booted up, the rest of the setup should be done mostly via the browser. Navigate to start.local and hopefully you should get a page like this:

If you can't reach the page, it's likely because either your Pi hasn't managed to connect to your network or it hasn't booted up at all. To confirm the Pi is in your local network and that your device can see it, you can run:

ipconfig getifaddr en0 # Find your local IP nmap -sn 192.168.x.0/24 # Map your local network

You should see something like:

If you see start.lan in your local network, you should be able to connect on start.local. Try a different browser or rebooting your device. If you don't see it at all, or you still can't connect, there's something more serious going on and you're up for a fun troubleshooting time. Good luck.

---

Assuming you managed to connect to your Pi with StartOS, let's hit the Start Fresh option to set up the server from scratch. First, you should be prompted to choose the storage device where the OS will be stored. Since your Pi only has one micro SD card slot, you should only see one device. Once you pick the only option, you'll get a warning that everything on that storage will be erased and replaced by StartOS itself. That's exactly what we want, so let's do it.

After selecting the storage device, you should get a password prompt. Come up with a decent password or use your trusty password manager to generate one — remember... reusing passwords is a sin! And don't worry, if you forget the password, you can always start from scratch. It should only take a couple of minutes and practice makes perfect. Moving on. Once the password is sorted, you should see StartOS initializing:

This should take about 3 minutes and eventually you should get a success page like this:

We're hitting the final stretch so bear with me. There are only two more things left to do. First, you should download the access info for your new server. Your browser might warn you about an insecure download but that's expected since you haven't set up the certificate yet. The download should be an HTML page with instructions for how to connect to your server from your local network and also remotely. This is important since you won't be able to access the server on start.local anymore. The page should look like this:

Fingers crossed you get a funky name you like. I recommend storing this whole HTML file in your password manager together with your password from the previous step.

The second bit is setting up and trusting your Root CA. It's so that your devices can securely communicate with your server. It's pretty straightforward. You can either hit the blue button on this page or go back to the success page and do it from there:

Either way, you should get a download of a <name-of-your-server>.crt file. Again, I recommend storing the certificate in your password manager, but you can also always download it from the server itself once it's up and running.

Detailed instructions can be found here, but basically all you need to do is the following:

1. Double-click the .crt file and add it to the keychain.

2. Hit Command + Spacebar and type in Keychain Access, open it and you should see your certificate in the list. It's just not trusted yet.

1. Right-click your certificate, select Get Info and expand the Trust option. StartOS only needs the first and last option so go ahead and enable those.

1. Close the trust setting and you should see the certificate being trusted now.

1. Close Keychain Access and go back to your browser. Hit the refresh button and you should get a confirmation saying that your certificate is now trusted. Good job, almost there!

Now that your certificate is all set up on this device, proceed by hitting the blue Go To Login button and fill in your password from earlier. Aaand that's it. You should see the landing page of your new server like this:

From now on you should be able to access the server from this device by typing your server's address in the browser.

If you got all the way here, congrats! Your server is now set up and you're one step closer to taking control of your data.

Since this was actually more typing than I initially anticipated, I am going to take a short break here but stay tuned for vol 2 where I walk you through setting up Nextcloud Notes.
