I came across PeerSwap the other day when looking over the apps that are installable on Umbrel. I had never heard of it before. I'm curious if any stackers have heard of it or used it. Do you have opinions? I have experience with a couple other tools like Boltz and Lightning Loop but not PeerSwap.

Here's what their site says.

PeerSwap enables Lightning Network nodes to balance their channels by facilitating atomic swaps with direct peers. PeerSwap enhances decentralization of the Lightning Network by enabling all nodes to be their own swap provider. No centralized coordinator, no 3rd party rent collector, and lowest cost channel balancing means small nodes can better compete with large nodes.

PeerSwap currently has a working implementation for both CLN and LND nodes.

At the moment PeerSwap is suitable for power node operators with Linux command line skills. Implementations of control panel GUI interfaces are currently underway which will make PeerSwap easier to use for ordinary end users.

They have a chart comparing their service to others as well.

Just another Ecash nutsnote design is a ew template for brrr.gandlaf.com cashu tocken printing machine and honoring Ecash ideator David Lee Chaum. Despite the turn the initial project took, we would not have Ecash today without his pioneering approach in cryptography and privacy-preserving technologies.

A simple KISS (Keep It Super Simple) Ecash nutsnote delivered as SVG, nothing fancy, designed in PenPot, an open source design tool, for slides, presentations, mockups and interactive prototypes.

Here Just another Nutsnote's current state, together with some snapshots along the process. Your feedback is more than welcome.

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.

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.

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

@ 67e9dd72:b9d59ce7

There’s a certain elegance to outliving your enemies. Not the cinematic kind, with poisoned cigars or cunning plots, but the quieter, more refined triumph of still being around when everyone who ever underestimated you has long since retired, expired, or become inexplicably fond of sudoku. It’s a victory without confetti. You simply keep showing up, well-dressed and unimpressed.

![image](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/29b7a8_22d7accec0df461aa0dcbcb5c10b1af5~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1480,h_1480,al_c,q_95,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/29b7a8_22d7accec0df461aa0dcbcb5c10b1af5~mv2.png

Our culture, with its short memory and shorter attention span, tends to applaud longevity the way one might cheer a particularly stubborn houseplant. We admire it without quite knowing what to do with it. The 100-year-old is both a relic and a marvel, treated with the same combination of awe and condescension as a rotary phone that still works. Everyone wants to know their secret. Few want to sit through the whole story. You, with your apps and your probiotics, are terribly impressed with yourself. They, having seen the world collapse and reboot twice before lunch, are not.

But the story is precisely the point. People who live one hundred years, unbowed, haven’t just survived; they’ve accumulated. Not just wrinkles or regrets, but time - real, textured time. Empires fade, music changes key, and a dozen generations believe they’ve discovered something new, only to be gently reminded that no, that too has been done, probably in better shoes. Society, ever the fidgety child, can’t quite decide whether to venerate or gently ignore its centenarians. Yet the centenarian doesn’t need to be wise or witty. They’ve simply borne witness, which in this noisy world is radical enough.

I was reminded of all this recently at the 100th birthday of a dear friend, a second father really. It wasn’t a grand affair, but it was exquisite in the way truly rare things often are. There was a quiet resilience in the room, a kind of grace that doesn’t ask for applause. Watching someone you care about cross the threshold into a second century - still sharp, still unmistakably themselves - isn’t just inspiring; it’s grounding.

Cozy room with a vintage armchair and side table. Open book and shoes on wooden floor. Sunlight filters through a window, creating a warm atmosphere.

And so, in their honor, this week’s post is a tribute to a few of those remarkable individuals who not only made it to the triple digits but managed to remain, somehow, defiantly themselves all the way there.

Bob Hope (1903 – 2003)

Bob Hope may not be a household name anymore, but for much of the 20th century, he was practically a part of everyone’s household. Born in 1903, he became the blueprint for the modern entertainer: part comedian, part actor, part relentless emcee of the American psyche.

Man - Bob Hope - in a checkered suit and striped tie smiles in a black and white photo. Blurred foliage in the background.

Before stand-up was a career path and before anyone thought to put jokes on late-night television, Hope was crisscrossing the globe with a microphone in one hand and a golf club in the other, cracking wise for movie stars, eleven presidents, and countless thousands of homesick soldiers. He wasn’t just famous - he was a part of the family. Your grandparents didn’t need to like comedy to know who Bob Hope was. He was baked into the cultural cake.

But what makes him worthy of this list isn’t just his longevity - though making it to 100 with your timing intact is no small feat. It’s that he stayed Bob Hope the whole time. He managed to remain a household name through every major technological shift from vaudeville to cable. Always with the same self-deprecating grin, the same deadpan delivery, the same tireless drive to entertain, whether on a dusty military base, golf club in hand, or a glitzy awards stage.

A man on stage - Bob Hope - in front of a large crowd of soldiers, some holding "BOB" signs. The mood is lively, with soldiers clapping and smiling.

In a business that burns through personalities like kindling, Hope managed to stay relevant without ever pretending to be something he wasn’t. He adapted, yes - but he never shape-shifted. And that’s no punchline; that’s staying power.

David Attenborough (Honorable Mention 1926 - )

Sir David Attenborough hasn’t just lived for nearly a century - he’s narrated it.

Elderly man in a blue suit - David Attenborough - smiles softly outdoors with blurred green background. He has white hair and wears a white shirt, conveying warmth.

Born in 1926, he’s now pushing the hundred mark with the same quiet intensity and clipped eloquence that made "Planet Earth" a phrase we all say with reverence. For decades, Attenborough has been the voice in our heads while we watch iguanas outrun snakes or bioluminescent squid flash their Morse code in the abyss. But beyond the velvet tones and impeccable suits, there’s something more enduring: a man who has remained unflinchingly curious in a world that increasingly isn’t. While others have shouted into the void, Attenborough has whispered, and when he whispers, we listened.

What makes him extraordinary isn’t just the longevity - it’s the fact that he’s never softened his message to suit the moment. In his nineties, when most people are congratulated for remembering their Wi-Fi password, Attenborough was delivering urgent speeches at climate summits and lending gravitas to a collapsing ecosystem. He has aged, yes, but never aged out. His moral clarity, his scientific reverence, and his profound respect for the natural world have never been dulled by time. If anything, they've sharpened.

Elderly man - David Attenborough - seated on a wooden chair with arms crossed, wearing a gray sweater against a dark background. Calm, contemplative expression.

Sir David may be approaching 100, but he's still out there - gently scolding us, brilliantly informing us, and above all, remaining unmistakably, irreplaceably himself.

Fauja Singh (1911 - )

Fauja Singh didn’t just reach 100 - he ran there.

Elderly man - Fauja Singh - jogging on a grassy hill, wearing a yellow turban and sportswear. City skyline and lush greenery in the background. Calm mood.

Born in 1911 in British India, he took up competitive marathon running in his 80s, which is roughly the age most people start describing trips to the mailbox as “exercise.” At 100, he completed the Toronto Waterfront Marathon, becoming the first centenarian to do so. He wasn’t running for medals or money or anyone’s approval - he was running because his legs still said yes. In a culture obsessed with youth and speed, Singh offered something quietly radical: the image of an old man moving forward, steadily, joyfully, and entirely on his own terms.

But what truly sets Fauja Singh apart isn't just the records - though those are impressive - but the gentleness with which he carried them. Soft-spoken, devoutly Sikh, and famously modest, he turned down sponsorships that conflicted with his values and credited his endurance to simple living and a vegetarian diet. No drama, no bravado - just resolve in motion.

Elderly man - Fauja Singh - with a long beard and dark turban smiling, outdoors near a track field. Background shows trees and houses, soft sunset lighting.

While the world sprinted around him in search of the next thing, Singh – who is still with us at 114 - kept his pace and kept his faith. He didn’t just defy age - he ignored it. And in doing so, he reminds us that time is less an enemy to be conquered than a companion to be outwalked, one calm mile at a time.

Henry Allingham (1896 – 2009)

Henry Allingham lived to be 113, which is remarkable enough - but what makes him truly unforgettable is how he carried those years. Born in 1896, he lived through both World Wars, the sinking of the Titanic, the moon landing, and the invention of sliced bread - literally. A founding member of the Royal Air Force and one of the last surviving veterans of World War I, Allingham wasn’t just a man from another time; he was a walking archive of it.

Elderly man - Henry Allingham - smiling with a certificate showing military service details, birth and death dates, and text "The last founding member of the Royal Air Force."

When asked about the secret to his longevity, he famously answered: "Cigarettes, whisky, and wild women." Which may not hold up in a medical journal, but certainly qualifies as staying defiantly oneself.

But beneath the cheeky quotes was someone deeply committed to remembrance. In his later years, Allingham didn’t retreat into private comfort - he leaned in. He spent his 100’s traveling, speaking, and bearing witness for those who no longer could. He wore his medals not as decorations, but as responsibilities. There was something dignified yet unsentimental in the way he spoke about war and peace, as if to say: this happened, and it mattered, and I’m still here to make sure you understand that.

Elderly man - Henry Allingham - saluting, wearing a suit, striped tie, and several medals. Background blurred. Solemn expression.

Henry Allingham didn’t just endure time - he honored it, and in doing so, made his century count for more than just numbers.

George Burns (1896 – 1996)

George Burns made it to 100 with a cigar in one hand and a punchline in the other, which is more or less how he lived every year of his life.

Elderly man - comedian George Burns - with glasses in plaid jacket holds cigar, raising hand with a playful expression against a gray background.

Born in 1896, he started in vaudeville, graduated to radio, then television, and eventually film - playing God, no less, in his later years, with the same dry charm he used to dismantle hecklers back in the 1920s. He didn’t just age into comedy; he dragged comedy along with him, evolving without ever losing that sly, arched-eyebrow delivery that made it all look effortless. Burns didn’t just outlast his peers - he made a habit of burying them with style, then cracking a joke at the funeral.

What made Burns so enduring wasn’t just the longevity or the accolades (though he won an Oscar at 80 and was still headlining Vegas in his 90’s). It was the unshakable sense of self. He never rebranded or reimagined - he refined.

Elderly man - comedian George Burns - in a tuxedo holds a lit cigar, standing at a microphone on a dark stage. Smoky atmosphere, calm demeanor.

While the world swirled around him in reinvention and reinvention’s younger cousin, desperation, George Burns stayed exactly who he was: a little irreverent, a little sentimental, and always in on the joke. When he turned 100, it didn’t feel like a milestone - it felt like the final beat in a perfectly timed routine.

Irving Berlin (1888 – 1989)

Irving Berlin didn’t just live to 101 - he scored most of the 20th century along the way. Born in 1888 in Imperial Russia and arriving in the U.S. as a penniless immigrant, he wrote more than 1,500 songs, including “White Christmas,” “God Bless America,” and “There’s No Business Like Show Business”.

Man in a suit - Irving Berlin - sits in front of a piano, with sheet music behind him. He appears poised and relaxed in a monochromatic setting.

His melodies are so deeply embedded in American culture that they feel almost like public domain, like oxygen, or like awkward family holidays. Yet Berlin never read music and played only in F-sharp, the black keys. He succeeded by sheer force of will, instinct, and an uncanny ability to write songs that people didn’t just want to hum - they wanted to live inside.

What makes him truly worthy of this list, though, isn’t just his prodigious output or his improbable rise. It’s that even into his centenarian years, Berlin never stopped being Berlin.

Elderly man in suit - Irving Berlin - plays piano in a dimly lit room, glancing at the camera. Books and a framed picture are seen in the background.

He remained fiercely private, unassuming, and somewhat allergic to praise. He turned down presidential medals and refused to attend tribute concerts in his honor. He didn’t care for celebrity; he cared for the work. And when the applause faded, he kept playing - quietly, defiantly, on his beloved black keys. In a century that was loud, fast, and eager to reinvent itself, Irving Berlin stood still and let the world dance to his tune.

Shigeaki Hinohara (1911 - 2017)

Shigeaki Hinohara lived to the age of 105, and if that alone doesn’t impress you, consider this: he spent most of that time working.

Elderly person wearing glasses and a white coat - Shigeaki Hinohara - with a stethoscope, smiling warmly. Indoors with wooden background, calm and professional mood.

As one of Japan’s most beloved physicians and a pioneer of preventive medicine, he wrote more than 150 books (some of them after turning 100), saw patients well into his centenarian years, and advocated tirelessly for a lifestyle of purpose, moderation, and fun. He was known to skip lunch, take the stairs, and insist that people shouldn’t retire just because a calendar told them to. In a culture that reveres longevity but often equates age with retreat, Hinohara cheerfully subverted the narrative - by refusing to slow down.

What made Hinohara truly remarkable was not just how long he lived, but how completely he inhabited his philosophy. He believed that life should be driven by curiosity, not calories, by engagement, not age. He didn’t just dish out wellness advice - he embodied it, always immaculately dressed, sharp-witted, and quietly radical in his refusal to become ornamental.

Elderly man in a brown suit - Shigeaki Hinohara - sits on a stone bench with arms raised, smiling in a grassy park. Plaque visible on the bench.

Even as the world around him grew faster, flashier, more disposable, Hinohara stayed grounded in old-school service and a kind of optimistic realism that’s now in short supply. He lived the life of a man who had somewhere to be and something to say, right up to the very end. And he never once apologized for being himself.

Ernst Mayr (1904 – 2004)

Ernst Mayr lived to be 100 and managed to spend nearly all of it arguing - politely, rigorously, and with great precision - about the nature of life itself. Born in 1904 in what was then the German Empire, Mayr became one of the most influential evolutionary biologists of the 20th century, helping to unify Darwinian theory with modern genetics in what became known as the “modern synthesis.”

Black-and-white image of an elderly man in a suit, smiling against a dark background. Text: "NCERT Biology, Ernst Mayr, Darwin of the 20th century."

He wrote or co-authored more than 20 books, described dozens of new species, and spent his final years calmly but insistently reminding the scientific community that speciation was, in fact, his specialty. To say he had staying power is an understatement; the man didn’t just contribute to biology - he helped rewrite its central grammar, and then stuck around to make sure no one messed it up. Darwin certainly would’ve been nodding in approval

What makes Mayr a qualified member of this centenarian pantheon isn’t just the duration of his life, but the clarity of his voice within it. Even into his late 90s, he was publishing papers, giving interviews, and confidently dismantling sloppy evolutionary thinking wherever he found it.

Man - Ernst Mayr - smiling beside a portrait of himself in academic robes. Black-and-white setting with framed document visible in background.

He was precise without being precious, critical without being cruel, and never once dulled his intellectual edge for the sake of being agreeable. If anything, he seemed to sharpen with age, like a scalpel left in a glass case: elegant, useful, and just a bit intimidating. Mayr didn’t merely witness a century of science - he shaped it, defended it, and remained unmistakably himself every step of the way.

Ernest Badalian (1925 - )

Born in Armenia during the early days of the Soviet experiment, Ernie Badalian came into a world already complicated, already tilting on its axis.

Elderly man - Ernie Badalian - smiling warmly, wearing a blue patterned shirt, and waving. Seated on a patterned chair in a well-lit room.

His father was a landowner – code word at the time, for “enemy of the people” - and the family’s property was seized by Soviet authorities in a sweeping purge of the bourgeoisie. To avoid a one-way ticket to the gulag, the family fled. They moved west through Europe’s unraveling seams, only to find themselves caught in the gears of World War II. Ernie was eventually interned in a German POW camp, where he remained until American forces liberated it in 1945. Freedom came not with fanfare, but with the quiet, improbable survival of someone who simply refused to be broken.

From there, Ernie’s story veers not into comfort, but resilience reimagined. He made it to America. He reunited with family - every last one of them, which in itself feels almost mythic – in Detroit, Michigan and became an American citizen. In 1952, he landed in Bell, California, bought a poultry ranch, and then - in one of those only-in-America plot twists - pivoted from chickens to check-ins by opening a motel across the street from a brand-new curiosity called Disneyland. That little venture became a family business, a generational stake in the American dream, and at 100, Ernie still lives on-site, quietly keeping tabs on tourists and trendlines like a man who knows full well the cost of standing still.

What makes Ernie a charter member of this list isn’t just that he reached the far end of the calendar with his humor and will intact - it’s that he did so by shaping every chapter himself. His life is a testament to persistence without self-pity, adaptation without loss of identity, and the kind of quiet authority that doesn’t need reminding who’s in charge. That he was the inspiration for this post is no coincidence. He’s not just a part of the list - he’s the reason it exists.

Older man - Ernie Badalian - sits with "100" birthday balloon, smiling, in a restaurant. Another man - Chris Zappia - stands behind him, also smiling. Warm, lively atmosphere.

Maybe the best thing about the people on this list - besides the obvious fact that they absolutely refuse to die on anyone else's schedule - is that they never mistook longevity for the goal. They weren’t chasing years like some kind of loyalty program. They were just busy living. Fully. Messily. With style, principle, or just stubbornness, but always on their own terms. Making it to 100 is impressive. Making it to 100 without becoming a museum exhibit or a punchline? That’s something else entirely.

It’s tempting to reduce centenarians to life hacks and headlines. “Secrets to a Long Life Revealed!” followed by kale, crossword puzzles, and something vaguely Scandinavian. But the truth is more slippery and less clickable. These people didn’t age gracefully - they aged honestly. There’s a difference. They didn’t live long because they tried to. They lived long because they kept moving, kept showing up, kept refusing to trade curiosity for comfort. Some ran marathons. Some played God. Some just kept opening their motel door every morning, because, to them, the world was still worth checking in on.

There’s no single through-line in this list - no magic pill, no secret sauce, no TED Talk formula. Just people who stayed sharp, stayed weird, or stayed kind long enough to watch the rest of us try to catch up. They kept going. Not because it was easy, but because it never occurred to them to stop. And when the rest of the world started putting up walls - between generations, between truths, between each other - they walked through them like smoke. And maybe that’s the real lesson here. Not how to live forever, but how to live so well, so completely, that the calendar just becomes background noise. The trick, it seems, isn’t to avoid the end. It’s to make the middle matter so much that the end doesn’t get the last word.

So, raise a glass (neat, no ice!) to the centenarians - the defiant, the dignified, the quietly miraculous. Not because they beat the clock, but because they never let it run the show. They remind us, in their beautifully stubborn way, that time is less a thief than a mirror. It reflects what you put into it. And if you’re lucky - and just a little bit ungovernable - it reflects you right back, 100 years later, with a raised eyebrow and a drink in hand.

(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.

A New Chapter in Decentralized Finance.

In the ever-evolving world of crypto, the next major disruptor may not come from Silicon Valley or a Fortune 500 boardroom but from the digital grassroots of a movement determined to redefine finance. World Liberty Financial (WLFI), an ambitious decentralized finance (DeFi) project, is staking its claim as the next game changer in blockchain-based financial ecosystems.

With a bold vision of democratizing finance and a token model unlike any other, WLFI may very well be on the verge of something historic.

The Genesis of WLFI;A Mission Beyond Profit.

At its core, World Liberty Financial seeks to upend the long-standing dominance of centralized institutions. Its mission is clear; to empower individuals with direct access to decentralized financial services**, eliminating the need for banks, intermediaries, and regulatory chokeholds.

Leveraging blockchain technology, WLFI aims to provide borderless, transparent, and censorship-resistant alternatives to traditional finance, a concept that resonates strongly in an era of growing distrust toward centralized entities.

The Token Sale;A Rocky Start Turned Power Move.

WLFI’s token sale launched quietly in October 2024, pricing tokens at just \$0.015 with a goal of raising \$1.5 billion. Initial investor sentiment, however, was tepid—only 4% of the 20 billion token supply sold in the early weeks. But as political tides shifted in the U.S. following the 2024 Presidential Election and a more pro-crypto administration came to power, the wind began to change.

A major turning point came with a \$30 million investment from blockchain heavyweight Justin Sun, a move that revitalized confidence and placed WLFI squarely on the radar of institutional and retail investors alike.

By March 2025, WLFI had raised approximately \$590 million, making it one of the largest DeFi token sales in history. While it didn’t reach its lofty initial goal, it proved there was strong market appetite for a platform with real utility and an ambitious roadmap.

Tokenomics: A Bold, Unorthodox Approach.

What truly sets WLFI apart is not just its vision but its controversial and deliberate design choices:

●Non-Transferable Tokens-WLFI tokens currently cannot be traded, sold, or transferred. This is an intentional mechanism to curb speculation and shift focus to governance and utility. That said, community discussions are surfacing around a clause in the smart contract that could eventually allow limited transfers—pending a vote by token holders.

●No Economic Rights—Yet; WLFI tokens carry no economic rights, meaning holders don’t receive profits or dividends by default. However, a future protocol vote may change that, paving the way for dividends in stablecoins or airdrops, making it potentially the first DeFi token with structured financial payouts.

●Equal Governance Power- Every token holder has a seat at the table. Governance proposals and protocol upgrades are voted on democratically, creating a truly decentralized ecosystem where users—not venture capitalists or early insiders—steer the ship.

Tech Stack: Launching with Aave V3 Integration

WLFI’s integration with Aave V3 is a strategic move that immediately places it within a battle-tested DeFi framework. This partnership allows WLFI to:

• Create a decentralized lending and borrowing market
• Share protocol revenues with the Aave DAO
• Leverage Aave’s liquidity infrastructure while maintaining community autonomy

This integration puts WLFI in a unique position to blend the best of existing DeFi innovation with its own ideological twist on community-led finance.

The Bigger Picture: A Rare Window of Opportunity? As the world watches the regulatory and political landscape shift, particularly with a pro-crypto U.S. President in office, WLFI’s timing feels almost poetic. The conditions echo the early days of Bitcoin—uncertain, volatile, and full of opportunity.

But unlike Bitcoin, WLFI offers governance participation, future revenue sharing, and a tangible roadmap. It’s not just a store of value—it’s a financial instrument for the digital age.

Final Thoughts: Hype or Historic? WLFI is not for the impatient or the purely profit-driven investor. It’s a long-game play for those who believe in the foundational principles of decentralization, community governance, and financial sovereignty.

If it delivers on its promises—and if governance votes align to unlock its full potential—World Liberty Financial could be remembered as the moment DeFi stopped being just a tech experiment and started becoming a real financial revolution.

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.

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 …

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!

Video Summary

ADHD is not genetic! In this video, we’ll examine the profound connection between ADHD and diet. Discover the foods that worsen ADHD symptoms, the relationship between ADHD and sugar intake, and the best ADHD diet to address the nutritional deficiencies that may be causing some of the symptoms in the first place.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is typically diagnosed by identifying the following ADHD symptoms: •Makes mistakes easily •Lack of attention to detail •Does not listen when spoken to directly •Doesn’t complete tasks •Cannot play quietly •Problems organizing •Loses things •Frequent fidgeting •Too much energy •Talks too much

Many ADHD symptoms are normal childhood behaviors, and a poor diet can exaggerate all of them.

ADHD is often treated with Adderall and Ritalin, which make lots of money for Big Pharma. The definition of ADHD has been dramatically expanded to make it more diagnosable, putting more people on medication.

A double-blinded study showed that after 36 months, any benefits from Adderall faded to zero. It also has side effects such as aggressive behavior or a dulled mood.

ADHD involves a metabolic problem with the prefrontal cortex of the brain. These metabolic changes affect the way the brain metabolizes fuel. If the brain is starved of fuel, you may exhibit symptoms like a lack of attention and hyperactivity. Chemicals like food dyes, artificial sweeteners, sugar, starch, and MSG tremendously impact behavior.

Increasing dopamine can improve focus and feelings of calmness. Foods such as meat, fish, eggs, and cheese are high in the amino acid L-tyrosine, the precursor to dopamine.

Research has shown that micronutrients, especially B6, magnesium, and zinc, can significantly decrease ADHD symptoms. Omega-3 fatty acids and fish oils can also improve symptoms without side effects.

Vitamin B1 is one of the most overlooked nutrients, especially in psychiatric conditions. When a child consumes a lot of glucose, vitamin B1 is depleted, inhibiting the brain’s ability to utilize fuel.

If an adult or child is experiencing ADHD symptoms, they should switch to a low-carb diet so their body can run on ketones. Ketones will fuel the neurons and restore a sense of calmness and increased attention span.

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.

Hopefully this is the beginning of a trend. I don't have any near me but I will try it out the first chance I get.

Steak n Shake is owned by Biglari Holdings Inc. a publicly traded holding company based in Texas. Do any stackers have any background info on this move or the companies involved?

Not the first to mention this.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Finale: once the industry-standard of music notation software, now a cautionary tale. In this video, I explore how it slowly lost its crown through decades of missed opportunities - eventually leading to creative collapse due to various bureaucratic intrigues, unforeseen technological changes and some of the jankiest UI/UX you've ever seen.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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?

My goal is to share a concise list of questions about OP_RETURN limits that we've answered on Stacker News, as the original thread has become unwieldy with over 200 comments. We began compiling this list about a week ago. I've frequently shared individual links and received very positive feedback. I hope this resource helps us work from a common set of facts and reduces misinformation. I hope you find this as a valuable resource.

I'll list the questions in order of activity and tips received. I've removed duplicates, rephrased some statements as questions, and ignored completely irrelevant questions.

1. Users should be given clear configurable options to decide what's in their mempool, why were these options taken away? link
2. Won't spammers abuse large OP_RETURNs to bloat the blockchain and make IBD take longer? link
3. A similar PR was proposed by Peter Todd 2 years ago, why was it rejected then? What has changed since then, why would this get approved now? link
4. Shouldn't we be fighting spam, why are we making policies less strict, shouldn't we be making them more strict? link
5. How would someone get around the standardness policy currently for OP_RETURN size? link
6. What does "standardness mean" in reference to OP_RETURNs? link
7. Will more than 1 OP_RETURN per transaction be possible if this PR gets merged? link
8. What are the current OP_RETURN limits and what restrictions are being lifted? link
9. Are current relay and mempool policies effective for filtering out spam transactions? link
10. Is it true that this type of update could affect Bitcoin's decentralization? link
11. Is it possible to stop the abuse of payment outputs (i.e., bare multisig, fake pubkeys, and fake pubkey hashes) that are used to embed data, thereby creating unprunable UTXOs that bloat the UTXO set? link
12. What was the main reason /concern to add this PR? ... What will happen if we do nothing? link
13. If OP_RETURN still cannot stop all the garbage, why is so important to remove it? Does it affect future development / improvements for LN? link
14. What will be the worst case scenario if users still could set their own limits for OP_RETURN? link
15. Shouldn't we debate the controversy of this PR on Github since it's where the code gets merged to make these changes? link
16. What does it mean when someone says "Fix the Filters"? link
17. Will this open the flood gates and drown out all legitimate onchain activity? link
18. What can we do to stop spam at the consensus layer of Bitcoin? link
19. Will Taproot wizards and other spam companies and projects start using OP_RETURN to put jpegs on the blockchain? link
20. If we prevent these transaction from going into our mempools doesn't that prevent or delay these spam transactions from being mined therefore discouraging the spammers? link
21. Is it possible to stop abuse of witness data? If so, how? (i.e ordinal theory inscriptions, "jpegs"). link
22. Is there any conflict of interest with Bitcoin Core and companies like Citrea, in ref to this PR? link
23. Is there any estimation on how much would this affect fees for the average user, considering external projects (like Citrea) using it? Any possibility that this could saturate the mempool and boost fees beyond reasonable? link
24. Was this PR initially proposed because of Citrea BitVM needs? If so don't they only need a slight bump in OP_RETURN size, why is it being proposed to make the size unrestricted? link
25. What makes a UTXO unprunable? Which projects are making unprunable UTXOs? link
26. Why would a spammer use OP_RETURN if it's cheaper to use Witness data to store arbitrary data? link
27. Won't large OP_RETURNs allow people to spam the mempool with 100kb transactions and mess up bitcoin for everyone by bloating the mempool and not allowing legitimate transactions in the mempool? link
28. If relaxing op_return standardness limit seeks to make 'spam' prunable, then what are proponents of this change assuming about the long-term feasibility of running a 'full' (unpruned) bitcoin node? link
29. Is allowing standardness for larger OP_RETURNs a slippery slope? If we allow this won't we continue to allow things that make bitcoin less for money and more for arbitrary data? link
30. Won't removing the OP_RETURN cap reduce fee market pressure by allowing senders to consolidate arbitrary data into a single transaction? link
31. Could this PR be the beginning of reducing other mempool restrictions? link
32. Culture is what protects Bitcoin from external forces, shouldn't non-technical arguments be valid when considering these types of changes? link
33. What's the difference between UTXO set, mempool, and blockchain, and how do larger OP_RETURN or witness data affect node resource usage? link
34. What is the difference in defining a transaction as valid versus defining a transaction as standard and why do we need this difference? link
35. If you're happy with your viewpoint on consensus and mempool rules, is not upgrading Bitcoin Core until it makes sense to you a valid action to take right now? link
36. Why didn't this PR get a BIP number? link
37. Why is core rushing this change? link
38. If there will be a hard fork resulted from this PR (split chain like in 2017), what will happen with existing LN channels? Will exist on both chains with 2 LNs? link
39. Isn't this all moot in a (almost guaranteed) future where fees are very high? link
40. What is this controversy about, and what is it really about? link

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.

Behind the scenes, a lot has happened over the past weeks.

The design of the book’s pages is nearly finished. I’ve selected and placed the illustrations and sketches I’ll feature and I’m close to finalising the Introduction section. All that’s left to do is a small photo shoot of some things from my archives, selecting one or two more articles for the Context section, and illustrating the articles.

After that I’ll print a dummy and kick off the second round of iteration—crossing T’s, dotting I’s. (And then I’ll cross those T’s and dot those I’s again and again because, surely, more things will arise.)

In parallel, and perhaps most importantly, I’m working on the design of the cover. I have a few ideas I’d like to discuss with the printer to learn more about the various possibilities and costs.

Book site

The book is now also available for pre-order through its own website, where you can pay for it in euros or dollars, if you prefer. BTC payments are still possible, too.

Originally I only offered one pre-order option that included rewards, like a print and a sticker pack. I’ve now named that the Collectors Edition, and added a separate option to order just the book (without additional rewards) at a reduced price. 

Once the book is out in the world, this site is where I’ll have it up for sale. I’ll make the articles and illustrations from the Context section available there too. They’ll be published, in their entirety, under the Creative Commons Share-alike license. 

Promo video

My friend Lilia shot and edited a short promotional video that provides a glimpse behind the scenes in my studio in Amsterdam, a peek at the book’s production process, and a sneak preview of the first spreads. While the process was new to me, this video was a lot of fun to make and I’m proud of the result.

Pre-orders

The total number of pre-orders has grown to 76—12 of which came through the new website. I initially thought I’d be selling 50 pre-orders at most, so things are definitely exceeding my expectations.

Feel free to place your pre-order through the new site, or use the Geyser crowdfund campaign to secure your copy.

Up next

In my next blog I’ll dive a little deeper into the technical side of the book. I’ll take you through the different kinds of paper I’ll use, the printing methods we’ll employ, and how the book will be bound and finished.

Keep your eyes peeled! Thomas

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.

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! 🌸

This is my Bitcoin full node. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My node is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my node is useless. Without my node, I am useless. I must run my node true. I must verify my enemy who is trying to dilute me. I must reject his inflationary blocks. I will. Bitstein (2019)

I love debates. I'm one of those people who, just for fun, analyzes Abraham Lincoln’s speeches on slavery during his election campaigns, or revisits the Frost-Nixon debates—or pretty much any speech I can get my hands on. The essence of debates—and now that I've discovered Socratic seminars—even further enriches the community itself. Where we, as a Bitcoin community, stand superior in every sense of the word is that we don't just talk to stake out positions; a Bitcoiner takes a stand through their actions.

And that's exactly what we've seen over these past few weeks of debate about OP_RETURN.

Many people—instinctively, I’d say—are inviting Bitcoin maximalists to move over to ETH and create non-monetary use cases, even as those same people are the ones loudly promoting and encouraging everyone to get Bitcoinized. So, we find ourselves in a clear contradiction that remains largely misunderstood, especially when podcasters who have never reviewed a single pull request, don't know how the merge works, and don't even have a GitHub account, suddenly want to jump into a debate encouraging others to switch node classes.

As for me, that’s totally fine. The reason is simple: if you are a true Bitcoiner, it doesn't matter whether you understand programming (or not), use Knots, Core[^1], or any other client—as long as you run your own node. I believe this debate helped motivate people and warned them about the real danger of not running their own node.

[^1]: I encourage people to download Core.

Why is it important to run your own node?

When people are using Bitcoin in ways you disagree with, or creating use cases you don't support, the best way to express your disapproval is through your node. Because at the end of the day, it’s the node that allows us to verify transactions—it’s the step before final broadcast to the blockchain. Every node that gets deployed is another victory for the community against reliance on trust; every downloaded node strengthens user privacy.

The fastest way to destroy Bitcoin is by discouraging the use of personal nodes, because centralized services thrive when fewer people use this critical tool.

Use your node.

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.

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

สวัสดีค่ะเพื่อนๆ นักเทรดที่น่ารักทุกคน! 💕 Lina Engword กลับมาพร้อมกับการวิเคราะห์ BTCUSDT.P แบบเจาะลึกเพื่อเตรียมพร้อมสำหรับเทรดวันนี้ค่ะ! 🚀

วันนี้ 12 พฤษภาคม 2568 เวลา 08.15น. ราคา BTCUSDT.P อยู่ที่ 104,642.8 USDT ค่ะ โดยมี Previous Weekly High (PWH) อยู่ที่ 104,967.8 Previous Weekly Low (PWL) ที่ 93,338 ค่ะ

✨ ภาพรวมตลาดวันนี้ ✨

จากการวิเคราะห์ด้วยเครื่องมือคู่ใจของเรา ทั้ง SMC/ICT (Demand/Supply Zone, Order Block, Liquidity), EMA 50/200, Trend Strength, Money Flow, Chart/Price Pattern, Premium/Discount Zone, Trend line, Fibonacci, Elliott Wave และ Dow Theory ใน Timeframe ตั้งแต่ 15m ไปจนถึง Week! 📊 เราพบว่าภาพใหญ่ของ BTCUSDT.P ยังคงอยู่ในแนวโน้มขาขึ้นที่แข็งแกร่งมากๆ ค่ะ 👍 โดยเฉพาะใน Timeframe Day และ Week ที่สัญญาณทุกอย่างสนับสนุนทิศทางขาขึ้นอย่างชัดเจน Money Flow ยังไหลเข้าอย่างต่อเนื่อง และเราเห็นโครงสร้างตลาดแบบ Dow Theory ที่ยก High ยก Low ขึ้นไปเรื่อยๆ ค่ะ

อย่างไรก็ตาม... ใน Timeframe สั้นๆ อย่าง 15m และ 1H เริ่มเห็นสัญญาณของการชะลอตัวและการพักฐานบ้างแล้วค่ะ 📉 อาจมีการสร้าง Buyside และ Sellside Liquidity รอให้ราคาไปกวาดก่อนที่จะเลือกทางใดทางหนึ่ง ซึ่งเป็นเรื่องปกติของการเดินทางของ Smart Money ค่ะ

⚡ เปรียบเทียบแนวโน้มแต่ละ Timeframe ⚡

🪙 แนวโน้มตรงกัน Timeframe 4H, Day, Week ส่วนใหญ่ชี้ไปทาง "ขาขึ้น" ค่ะ ทุกเครื่องมือสนับสนุนแนวโน้มนี้อย่างแข็งแกร่ง 💪 เป้าหมายต่อไปคือการไปทดสอบ PWH และ High เดิม เพื่อสร้าง All-Time High ใหม่ค่ะ! 🪙 แนวโน้มต่างกัน Timeframe 15m, 1H ยังค่อนข้าง "Sideways" หรือ "Sideways Down เล็กน้อย" ค่ะ มีการบีบตัวของราคาและอาจมีการพักฐานสั้นๆ ซึ่งเป็นโอกาสในการหาจังหวะเข้า Long ที่ราคาดีขึ้นค่ะ

💡 วิธีคิดแบบ Market Slayer 💡

เมื่อแนวโน้มใหญ่เป็นขาขึ้นที่แข็งแกร่ง เราจะเน้นหาจังหวะเข้า Long เป็นหลักค่ะ การย่อตัวลงมาในระยะสั้นคือโอกาสของเราในการเก็บของ! 🛍️ เราจะใช้หลักการ SMC/ICT หาโซน Demand หรือ Order Block ที่ Smart Money อาจจะเข้ามาดันราคาขึ้น และรอสัญญาณ Price Action ยืนยันการกลับตัวค่ะ

สรุปแนวโน้มวันนี้:

🪙 ระยะสั้น: Sideways to Sideways Down (โอกาส 55%) ↔️↘️ 🪙 ระยะกลาง: ขาขึ้น (โอกาส 70%) ↗️ 🪙 ระยะยาว: ขาขึ้น (โอกาส 85%) 🚀 🪙 วันนี้: มีโอกาสย่อตัวเล็กน้อยก่อนจะมีแรงซื้อกลับเข้ามาเพื่อไปทดสอบ PWH (โอกาส Sideways Down เล็กน้อย สลับกับ Sideways Up: 60%) 🎢

🗓️ Daily Trade Setup ประจำวันนี้ 🗓️

นี่คือตัวอย่าง Setup ที่ Lina เตรียมไว้ให้พิจารณาค่ะ (เน้นย้ำว่าเป็นเพียงแนวทาง ไม่ใช่คำแนะนำลงทุนนะคะ)

1️⃣ ตัวอย่างที่ 1: รอรับที่โซน Demand (ปลอดภัย, รอยืนยัน)

🪙 Enter: รอราคาย่อตัวลงมาในโซน Demand Zone หรือ Bullish Order Block ที่น่าสนใจใน TF 1H/4H (ดูจากกราฟประกอบนะคะ) และเกิดสัญญาณ Bullish Price Action ที่ชัดเจน เช่น แท่งเทียนกลืนกิน (Engulfing) หรือ Hammer 🪙 TP: บริเวณ PWH 104,967.8 หรือ Buyside Liquidity ถัดไป 🎯 🪙 SL: ใต้ Low ที่เกิดก่อนสัญญาณกลับตัวเล็กน้อย หรือใต้ Demand Zone ที่เข้า 🛡️ 🪙 RRR: ประมาณ 1:2.5 ขึ้นไป ✨ 🪙 อธิบาย: Setup นี้เราจะใจเย็นๆ รอให้ราคาลงมาในโซนที่มีโอกาสเจอแรงซื้อเยอะๆ ตามหลัก SMC/ICT แล้วค่อยเข้า เพื่อให้ได้ราคาที่ดีและความเสี่ยงต่ำค่ะ ต้องรอสัญญาณ Price Action ยืนยันก่อนนะคะ ✍️

2️⃣ ตัวอย่างที่ 2: Follow Breakout (สายบู๊, รับความเสี่ยงได้)

🪙 Enter: เข้า Long ทันทีเมื่อราคาสามารถ Breakout เหนือ High ล่าสุดใน TF 15m หรือ 1H พร้อม Volume ที่เพิ่มขึ้นอย่างมีนัยสำคัญ 🔥 🪙 TP: บริเวณ PWH 104,967.8 หรือ Buyside Liquidity ถัดไป 🚀 🪙 SL: ใต้ High ก่อนหน้าที่ถูก Breakout เล็กน้อย 🚧 🪙 RRR: ประมาณ 1:3 ขึ้นไป ✨ 🪙 อธิบาย: Setup นี้เหมาะกับคนที่อยากเข้าไวเมื่อเห็นโมเมนตัมแรงๆ ค่ะ เราจะเข้าเมื่อราคา Breakout แนวต้านระยะสั้นพร้อม Volume เป็นสัญญาณว่าแรงซื้อกำลังมาค่ะ เข้าได้เลยด้วยการตั้ง Limit Order หรือ Market Order เมื่อเห็นการ Breakout ที่ชัดเจนค่ะ 💨

3️⃣ ตัวอย่างที่ 3: พิจารณา Short สั้นๆ ในโซน Premium (สวนเทรนด์หลัก, ความเสี่ยงสูง)

🪙 Enter: หากราคาขึ้นไปในโซน Premium ใน TF 15m หรือ 1H และเกิดสัญญาณ Bearish Price Action ที่ชัดเจน เช่น แท่งเทียน Shooting Star หรือ Bearish Engulfing บริเวณ Supply Zone หรือ Bearish Order Block 🐻 🪙 TP: พิจารณาแนวรับถัดไป หรือ Sellside Liquidity ใน TF เดียวกัน 🎯 🪙 SL: เหนือ High ของสัญญาณ Bearish Price Action เล็กน้อย 💀 🪙 RRR: ประมาณ 1:1.5 ขึ้นไป (เน้นย้ำว่าเป็นการเทรดสวนเทรนด์หลัก ควรใช้ RRR ต่ำและบริหารขนาด Lot อย่างเข้มงวด!) 🪙 อธิบาย: Setup นี้สำหรับคนที่เห็นโอกาสในการทำกำไรจากการย่อตัวระยะสั้นค่ะ เราจะเข้า Short เมื่อเห็นสัญญาณว่าราคาอาจจะมีการพักฐานในโซนที่ถือว่า "แพง" ในกรอบสั้นๆ ค่ะ ต้องตั้ง Stop Loss ใกล้มากๆ และจับตาดูใกล้ชิดนะคะ 🚨

⚠️ Disclaimer: การวิเคราะห์นี้เป็นเพียงความคิดเห็นส่วนตัวของ Lina เท่านั้น ไม่ถือเป็นคำแนะนำในการลงทุนนะคะ การลงทุนมีความเสี่ยง ผู้ลงทุนควรศึกษาข้อมูลเพิ่มเติมและตัดสินใจด้วยความรอบคอบค่ะ 🙏

ขอให้ทุกท่านโชคดีกับการเทรดในวันนี้ค่ะ! มีคำถามอะไรเพิ่มเติม ถามมาได้เลยนะคะ ยินดีเสมอค่ะ! 😊

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.

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.

Die Wahrheit verletzt tiefer als jede Beleidigung. \ Marquis de Sade

Sagen Sie niemals «Terroristin B.», «Schwachkopf H.», «korrupter Drecksack S.» oder «Meinungsfreiheitshasserin F.» und verkneifen Sie sich Memes, denn so etwas könnte Ihnen als Beleidigung oder Verleumdung ausgelegt werden und rechtliche Konsequenzen haben. Auch mit einer Frau M.-A. S.-Z. ist in dieser Beziehung nicht zu spaßen, sie gehört zu den Top-Anzeigenstellern.

«Politikerbeleidigung» als Straftatbestand wurde 2021 im Kampf gegen «Rechtsextremismus und Hasskriminalität» in Deutschland eingeführt, damals noch unter der Regierung Merkel. Im Gesetz nicht festgehalten ist die Unterscheidung zwischen schlechter Hetze und guter Hetze – trotzdem ist das gängige Praxis, wie der Titel fast schon nahelegt.

So dürfen Sie als Politikerin heute den Tesla als «Nazi-Auto» bezeichnen und dies ausdrücklich auf den Firmengründer Elon Musk und dessen «rechtsextreme Positionen» beziehen, welche Sie nicht einmal belegen müssen. [1] Vielleicht ernten Sie Proteste, jedoch vorrangig wegen der «gut bezahlten, unbefristeten Arbeitsplätze» in Brandenburg. Ihren Tweet hat die Berliner Senatorin Cansel Kiziltepe inzwischen offenbar dennoch gelöscht.

Dass es um die Meinungs- und Pressefreiheit in der Bundesrepublik nicht mehr allzu gut bestellt ist, befürchtet man inzwischen auch schon im Ausland. Der Fall des Journalisten David Bendels, der kürzlich wegen eines Faeser-Memes zu sieben Monaten Haft auf Bewährung verurteilt wurde, führte in diversen Medien zu Empörung. Die Welt versteckte ihre Kritik mit dem Titel «Ein Urteil wie aus einer Diktatur» hinter einer Bezahlschranke.

Unschöne, heutzutage vielleicht strafbare Kommentare würden mir auch zu einigen anderen Themen und Akteuren einfallen. Ein Kandidat wäre der deutsche Bundesgesundheitsminister (ja, er ist es tatsächlich immer noch). Während sich in den USA auf dem Gebiet etwas bewegt und zum Beispiel Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will, dass die Gesundheitsbehörde (CDC) keine Covid-Impfungen für Kinder mehr empfiehlt, möchte Karl Lauterbach vor allem das Corona-Lügengebäude vor dem Einsturz bewahren.

«Ich habe nie geglaubt, dass die Impfungen nebenwirkungsfrei sind», sagte Lauterbach jüngst der ZDF-Journalistin Sarah Tacke. Das steht in krassem Widerspruch zu seiner früher verbreiteten Behauptung, die Gen-Injektionen hätten keine Nebenwirkungen. Damit entlarvt er sich selbst als Lügner. Die Bezeichnung ist absolut berechtigt, dieser Mann dürfte keinerlei politische Verantwortung tragen und das Verhalten verlangt nach einer rechtlichen Überprüfung. Leider ist ja die Justiz anderweitig beschäftigt und hat außerdem selbst keine weiße Weste.

Obendrein kämpfte der Herr Minister für eine allgemeine Impfpflicht. Er beschwor dabei das Schließen einer «Impflücke», wie es die Weltgesundheitsorganisation – die «wegen Trump» in finanziellen Schwierigkeiten steckt – bis heute tut. Die WHO lässt aktuell ihre «Europäische Impfwoche» propagieren, bei der interessanterweise von Covid nicht mehr groß die Rede ist.

Einen «Klima-Leugner» würden manche wohl Nir Shaviv nennen, das ist ja nicht strafbar. Der Astrophysiker weist nämlich die Behauptung von einer Klimakrise zurück. Gemäß seiner Forschung ist mindestens die Hälfte der Erderwärmung nicht auf menschliche Emissionen, sondern auf Veränderungen im Sonnenverhalten zurückzuführen.

Das passt vielleicht auch den «Klima-Hysterikern» der britischen Regierung ins Konzept, die gerade Experimente zur Verdunkelung der Sonne angekündigt haben. Produzenten von Kunstfleisch oder Betreiber von Insektenfarmen würden dagegen vermutlich die Geschichte vom fatalen CO2 bevorzugen. Ihnen würde es besser passen, wenn der verantwortungsvolle Erdenbürger sein Verhalten gründlich ändern müsste.

In unserer völlig verkehrten Welt, in der praktisch jede Verlautbarung außerhalb der abgesegneten Narrative potenziell strafbar sein kann, gehört fast schon Mut dazu, Dinge offen anzusprechen. Im «besten Deutschland aller Zeiten» glaubten letztes Jahr nur noch 40 Prozent der Menschen, ihre Meinung frei äußern zu können. Das ist ein Armutszeugnis, und es sieht nicht gerade nach Besserung aus. Umso wichtiger ist es, dagegen anzugehen.

Even bitcoiners don’t value hard money enough (yet)

Bitcoiners love to talk about hard money and how bitcoin will change the world. They even claim to fix the world, by fixing “the money”.Yet many talk the talk, but don’t make the efforts, nor sacrifices.Walking the walk, is usually no further than the nearest bitcoin meetup, or the occasional trip to a tax-haven.Other than that. They’re chained to their fiat-past. Their kids, their house, their hobbies, their spouse and job.They serve the local bank branch (beg them to have a bit of their own money like everyone else), they watch TV, hold bitcoin and have this mindset where they truly think that bitcoin will grow, despite them doing jack all. They think they can reap the benefits in silence, while others do the heavy lifting, they smirk.They delude themselves however, thinking their sly passive stance is a risk-free act of brilliance.However, they’re scared, and have bitcoin in a fiat cage.Their existence is just a wallet waiting to be drained by force or pressure. By the same monstrous forces that keep our heads down.Whether discussing its digital scarcity or its fiat price, the focus invariably circles back to Bitcoin as a driver for a product or service.Do you want bitcoin, do you like bitcoin? Want to work with bitcoin? Here’s a service or wallet you can buy for a few hundred dollars, here’s my link. Want to participate in the network?Buy our pre-made and plug-and-play “solution”? Want to know more, or do you know wealthy people that want in” “Call me…”They’re selling.Don’t get me wrong,I also believe bitcoin is changing that world right now.And earning a living is good, be it with art, writing, selling a service or moving a box from A to B.But they don’t get it. Because it’s damned near impossible to escape the cage

Disproof Escapism

The bitcoin genie is out of the bottle. We DO have digitally scarce, hard money!

The core of the message most bitcoiners promote (including the author of this article) revolves around the prevalent “debt-and-war” fiat system and the harm it inflicts on society in general. Bitcoiners explain how it enslaves us, impoverishes us, and fosters a short-term perspective, empty consumerism, and a disregard for skills, all while leaving entire generations in debt and modern forms of servitude.

That reality alone will change many mechanisms within society. That should be the core of bitcoiners and their way of living. Not promoting a referral link to get a few sats or putting a sticker on a bathroom wall at a bar. We discuss open source theories and personality traits, not how to win the race. We don’t scheme, infiltrate or sabotage; we step onto the stage humbly, like nervous kids reciting poetry for a king. We only face our own audiences. Not the audience of followers of the monsters. We might as well do a leaflet campaign in the desert while we’re at it.We often hear terms like "sound money" and the assertion "there's no second best," with some even calling it "digital gold." This latter term is particularly misleading. Gold, despite its past significance, was subject to confiscation, serving the ambitions of nations and the wealthy. Bitcoin, in contrast, is not simply a digital iteration of gold; that label is a fiat construct that fails to capture its distinct nature.

However, the question remains: why is it that, when push comes to shove, we as Bitcoiners don’t truly live, think, and breathe this “thing” called Bitcoin as the hardest money in existence? Because we don’t. I’ve visited a fair share of meetups and conferences (though not many, as conferences are largely a sham anyway) to observe the ethos in practice. And it’s not always a pretty sight.

Assholes and grifters remain assholes and grifters, regardless of whether they hold BTC or not.

Thinking in fiat terms is still rampant (including for myself, by the way, to some extent). We were born into fiat, shaped by fiat, and have worked, traded, saved, and lost within its confines.

The fiat mindset, I dare say, is even more detrimental when Bitcoiners adopt it, as it amplifies the negative consequences even beyond those of the fiat world itself.

After all, at the very least, those within the fiat system are all equally screwed in their flawed monetary reality by a system that is a true circus Maximus of greed and debt. Consider those burdened by immense student loan debt, individuals with unrecognized talent, and others denied opportunities because less skilled people from higher financial echelons secure “proof of stake” jobs. Even if they lack the necessary abilities. There are fiat denizens sent to war, subjected to bombings, and relentlessly exploited for profit throughout their lives to sustain a parasitic, rent-seeking system… all under the false promise of security in their later years… when in reality, they are chewed up and spit out.When these fiat slaves wield a fiat mentality toward one another, it’s considered normal; no one can bat an eye if one fiat rent-seeker bleeds another dry, then tosses them aside for a new victim once the yield or short-term gain is realized. That’s simply how the fiat hamster wheel has been turning generations on end, while the proof-of-stake lords benefit across multiple generations.

The exploitation, the focus on short-term gains, the inherent stupidity of the system—it’s ingrained in the people themselves. Their greed and fiat/shitcoin mentality is "the norm." Some even dare to call it "capitalism" or democracy.

They can’t be offended by anyone screwing them over or getting ahead to gain a few fiat tokens, be it dollars or the Euro Mickey Mouse coin. They just carry on, shrug their shoulders, and crawl over each other like the basket full of crabs they inhabit day to day. Being among the few crabs that can touch the rim of the basket before being pulled down again by the other crabs, is what’s called success.

However, witnessing such behaviors and ways of living among individuals who identify as Bitcoiners evokes not only profound ethical sadness but also reveals consequences far more damaging to Bitcoin than if those same individuals had remained solely within the fiat system. Therefore, a fiat mentality within the Bitcoin space is even more repugnant than the mindset of some shitcoiners. At least with shitcoiners, you understand they are peddling a token, coin, or some fabricated service to offload onto unsuspecting individuals to make ends meet (and fund their cheap hotel rooms in exotic looking places while projecting an image of success (and the Modern Ottoman beard look) on Instagram). Consider a scenario: if someone at a vegetable market (assuming such places still exist in the fiat world) suggests to another vendor a way to conduct more business off the books, it’s met with indifference. That’s considered normal.But when a Bitcoiner at a meetup — an event where for three years you've been trying to dissociate Bitcoin from the tired narrative of it being solely "for fraudsters and criminals" — and you overhear "Bitcoiners" discussing methods for laundering illicit funds, then it becomes a significant problem. As if they can’t make ends meet without doing “the fiat thing”. Such individuals, as a Bitcoiner, disgust me. They clearly "don't get it." They fail to grasp the fundamental values of Bitcoin. They resemble the stereotypical used car salesmen who prioritize nothing beyond their immediate needs, like avoiding having to have a cheap dinner of dog food and tomato sauce that evening if they bag another customer by whatever lies they’ll have to tell. I would go so far as to assert that Bitcoiners with a fiat mentality are more detrimental to Bitcoin's growth than both those enslaved by the fiat system and shitcoiners themselves. A fiat drone will simply save, invest, and adhere to the established rules of banks and central banks.

They don’t question these norms; it’s their accepted reality. They’re labeled “normies” for a reason—they find satisfaction in conforming, believing the deception and theft, even perceiving it as beneficial because that’s what they’ve been told on television. They place their trust in numbers and statistics while diligently paying off their mortgages and investing in whatever financial products the TV shows spoon-feed them. Shitcoiners (closely related to fiat slaves) will merely promote their scams and worthless projects to generate short-term gains (in fiat, naturally) to sustain their shallow lifestyles of loneliness, prostitutes, and grocery bills paid with bank cards from the Seychelles.

But Bitcoiners with a fiat mentality? They actively undermine Bitcoin. They are toxic, and the sooner they revert to pure fiat, the better for the Bitcoin ecosystem. They offer no positive contribution whatsoever to Bitcoin’s progress.

More bitcoiners need to grow a spine

I've started to label these individuals as “cosplay bitcoiners.” They are typically nothing more than bitcoin holders (definitely not HODLers). These are people who act as though Bitcoin is merely another speculative asset (alongside a plethora of garbage coins and scams) instead of the monetary revolution it truly embodies. Most bitcoiners engage in this cosplay, reciting the talking points without actually changing their lives. Or… they view it simply as a means to generate income by uttering the right phrases and selling various items and merchandise. If Bitcoin were to cease to exist (a highly improbable scenario), they would likely be selling counterfeit Pokémon merchandise, fake Rolexes, or working as box movers in retail (sporting a perm). This might upset some who have dedicated significant portions of their lives to the Bitcoin ecosystem. However, what should be far more infuriating is the realization that your dreams, hope, and hard work are ultimately benefiting these cosplayers.

These individuals also say things like “You could consider moving to Solana for a while…” or “I have a referral link for insert flavor-of-the-week scam.” This genuine effort to cultivate a Bitcoin ethos is often undermined by people lacking activism, backbone, or conviction. Typically, these are the same individuals who inquire about price action during minor dips in Bitcoin's fiat value. They exhibit “scared money” behavior, just like in the fiat world. Consider that: they are scared (of) money. That’s right,… people that lived, and were raised in fiat are in fact scared… of money. This ingrained perspective, though varying in its impact, can act as a distraction or even a negative influence on Bitcoin's overall growth. I know the genuine contributors are out there. Rest assured, I am acutely aware of what it means to dedicate your time and energy to the betterment of Bitcoin; I've done it before and continue to do so years later. I respect that immensely. But the moment you recognize your efforts are primarily benefiting these parasites, you should immediately cease and let them wither.

They are not there for Bitcoin at all. I believe a fundamental aspect of being a Bitcoiner is calling out such behavior — to embody a form of activism, a vetting process aimed at fostering greater freedom. This might seem paradoxical, but it’s not; it’s akin to broadcasting a double-spent transaction onto mempool and having it rejected by the nodes. In my opinion, Bitcoin's primary essence is freedom. This freedom is underpinned by consensus and proof of work. However, this doesn't imply that we should be a universally accommodating resource for individuals who merely hold Bitcoin and seek to profit off our efforts while contributing nothing of substance to the space beyond their own marketing nonsense. They say the lines, but don’t save lives.

But why not?

If Bitcoin is truly the hardest money, the scarcest asset humanity has ever encountered, then why would we willingly trade it for a demonstrably inferior, inflationary, and state-controlled currency? This holds true even if that fiat is disguised as a modern "coin" or a cheap imitation of Bitcoin.

The uncomfortable truth is that many Bitcoiners, whether consciously or subconsciously, remain tethered to the legacy financial system. We espouse the principle of "don't trust, verify," yet we often evaluate Bitcoin through the distorted lens of its fiat exchange rate. Furthermore, many local meetups are infiltrated by individuals whose motives, schemes, and outright nonsense we fail to scrutinize or verify.

We neglect even the most fundamental forms of verification (such as accepting a function purported to be around 40 KB in data size when it's bundled within a > 50 MB software program). We profess belief in absolute scarcity, yet we shy away from adopting Bitcoin as our genuine unit of account, nor do we accurately measure our purchasing power (as devising a truly precise method might necessitate an invention worthy of a Nobel Prize in Economics).

Armed with the hardest money, ample liquidity, and considerable intellect, we still find ourselves waiting for Presidents, Philosophers, and various Personalities to artificially inflate Bitcoin's price, behaving like apprehensive investors in a newly listed startup.

“But with bitcoin”

These Philosophers, Personalities, and Presidents (PPPs) often represent a mere "follow-the-leader" phenomenon among many who identify as Bitcoiners. Philosophers delve into the intricacies of Bitcoin: its support for local social structures, its international applications, the underlying mathematics, the time-based mechanisms… It's all incredibly fascinating and has been explained countless times in various tones and for diverse audiences. Yet, much like in Bitcoin software development, there's often a lack of curation or editing; people simply produce without rigorous testing or questioning the necessity or widespread adoption of their contributions. Some even mistakenly believe these philosophers will somehow influence the "price." However, their role is primarily to explain, analyze, and provide understanding. That, of course, is valuable as it stimulates thought (even this very writing serves that purpose). However, Bitcoiners deeply entrenched in the philosophical aspects can often be blind to their own contradictory circumstances.

It can be jarring, even alienating, to listen to a podcast dissecting the profound intricacies of time and Bitcoin's blockchain while simultaneously enduring the mundane reality of your fiat job, with a coworker loudly handling customer calls nearby. The core issue is that this mentality increasingly mirrors the practices of the fiat (and shitcoin) world: passively holding onto "your bag" or "your stake" and promoting that position while vaguely advising others that "education is important" or "spreading the word is good." Ultimately, many of those dispensing this advice do little more than appear on their YouTube channels, take the stage at their own conferences, or write (or commission) their paid newsletters. Some diligently court wealthy individuals to explain Bitcoin, aiming to earn a few dollars, but they might as well be selling Tupperware if it paid the bills. Genuine care is often absent; it's their Bitcoin-flavored version of a fiat job. They are simply holding onto sats, much like one would hold onto ETFs or stocks in the traditional financial world. Michael Saylor, at a conference in Madeira, once stated: “You are here because Bitcoin needs you… and when you leave, I sincerely hope you will go out there and do good for Bitcoin.”

That's a commendable call to action. However, it also inadvertently highlights a form of servitude, a call that, regrettably, many have not heeded. Right now, Bitcoin's treated more like digital real estate than actual cash – something to hodl and hope it moons, while others do the promoting. Activism, at least here in Belgium, is a ghost town.

Elsewhere, it's often just small-time stuff, easily corrupted by book-writers, shitcoin promoters, ego-trippers, or even creeps hitting on vulnerable women in new-age scenes. This passive vibe has helped a bit, sure, but it shows we're still scared to call Bitcoin real money. It's the hardest money ever, yet we act like fiat's the boss, when Bitcoin's the true store of value. The circular economy crawls along. Instead of waiting for "hyperbitcoinization," we need to act like it's already here: support Bitcoin-only businesses, demand salaries in sats, and actually think in sats, not fiat. But become organized, more to the point: set up systems so you can build and rely on one another.To make Bitcoin truly hard money, we gotta stop pricing it and thinking in fiat, actually use it to pay and get paid, teach people it's a monetary system not just an investment, and directly challenge fiat by building Bitcoin-native economies, not just begging institutions to buy in. The more we act like Bitcoin is money, the faster the world will have to agree.

Bitcoin’s success is not inevitable.

Because it is maintained by people, and people are inherently flawed. However, it is also governed by mathematics, a perfect framework that categorizes chaos into order and back into incomprehensible chaos. There, within the crucible of math, language, cryptography, and time, lies Bitcoin: our creation, our potential salvation, and perhaps our sole remaining hope.

It demands action from Bitcoiners. If we genuinely believe in Bitcoin as the hardest money, we must begin to utilize it as such, rather than posturing on stages like immature, attention-seeking individuals vying for personal recognition and petty power struggles.

The future is not forged by those idly waiting for a magical price point; it is built by those who actively transact, develop, work, and live on Bitcoin today. Hard money transcends mere scarcity; it embodies utility, intrinsic value, and the tangible construction of liberty. Bitcoin's purpose is not simply to replace the existing decay of fiat with a superficial rebranding of the same fundamental rot. Bitcoin is not intended to supplant the old fiat corruption with an identical corruption merely bearing a Bitcoin label or logo.

The divergence is stark: one grey-colored path leads us to a state of ambiguity and ineffectiveness, the other to a vibrant, focused purpose. This ambiguity manifests as excessive accommodation, an unwarranted stubbornness where adaptability is needed. We tend towards being overly compliant and even subservient, exhibiting exaggerated politeness and empathy, even as our advancements inevitably dismantle the obsolete systems. That path has a Dixie orange color.

This is because many Bitcoiners now crave external validation, leading to inconsistent and muddled messaging, belonging authentically to neither the stagnant grey nor the purposeful orange.

We, and our true Bitcoiners—our intellectual offspring—represent an inherently incompatible lineage, incapable of either peaceful coexistence ("protest") or productive integration ("procreate") with these outdated methodologies and their swarm of futile endeavors. The cosplay bitcoiners and their lukewarm followers and creations aspire to be part of a fintech reality that is not their own, and a fiat world that has relegated them to the roles of insignificant footnotes and background commentators.

Despite our core differences, we persist in engaging with the stake-people, the frail-minded powerhouses that let us participate in their arenas, gathering under the harsh glare of moral decay and corruption. We mine Bitcoin from the future, but it’s tethered to the present. They hamper our progress with outdated tools and (re)distribution systems rooted in the 18th century.We can invent so much better systems, bulldoze the old and rebuild our cities and reclaim our value.

It’s time…

The moment has arrived to begin valuing Bitcoin for what it has always been destined to be and will forever remain: hard money. Let us consign the parasites to their rightful place – the gutter of fiat. Reader, dear reader, you who have invested the time and effort to cease scrolling through the endless torrent of filth, garbage, and attention-seeking displays on your phone, do you grasp the unique historical opportunity presented to your vulnerable digital soul to reclaim your life, to transcend mere survival and truly flourish? Do you comprehend this? Do you even realize that digitally scarce, digitally verifiable hard money awaits your mining, purchase, holding, and personal safekeeping? Or do you still cling to the illusions projected onto the wall of Plato's cave, telling you every lie under the sun for their short gains and diatribes? Do you live in the corridor of greyness? Probably.

Observing the vapid semantic debates onstage, the performative security measures, and the blatant power struggles, I am reminded of the early Christian disciples and the challenges they must have faced in spreading the word of their Lord, relying solely on their individual conviction while constantly encountering those driven purely by the pursuit of power. Bitcoiners are no different, despite never having known their own guiding figures. The distinction lies in our approach: we do not expel the transgressors and the disreputable from the market; nor do we seek to cure the afflicted or nourish the starving. We are not torn apart by lions, for we operate in the shadows, our influence primarily through written works, lacking the support that stems from personal charisma. Fiat bleeds people dry, fueling the vile machinery of passive rent-seeking yield and perpetual servitude.

In Bitcoin, we possess the potential to be their undoing, but only if we can match their ruthlessness, their multi-generational cunning, and their inherent malice. That’s not in our nature, so we’ll need to change and adapt. To truly prevail, we must outmaneuver their evil, win their long-term game. To win, we must out-evil evil. Win their multi-generational ongoing long-term game.That’s not easy, because you’re being poisoned day in day out.

So… here goes.

You must choose your path: gray or orange.

Decide how you’ll navigate the clutter: hardware wallets you don’t need, unscalable orange-pilling that’s more about ego than Bitcoin, books that hardly anyone reads, redundant artwork you’ll never buy, searching for a place in the unreachable oasis of bitcoin jobs, the mirage of funding,the naïveté of Value4Value, the Saylor-worshipping instinct, stickers slapped on poles, rushed and untested software, apps that repel users, conference circuses filled with grifters, posers and some half-gods, The pump-my-bags philosophers. The fork in the road lies ahead

Will you keep micro-dosing the corruption of the fiat world, day by day? Or will you don your armor and sacrifice for future generations?\ You ‘ll be part of an army of cyber Jesuït knights, or part of a gang of ad hoc grifters smelling like patchouli and fear.

Let centuries of hate and destruction be channeled like unbreakable equations, their tax collecting vultures, their redistribution to the weak.We can be in harnesses, economically cause their bellies gorged on our produce, sliced virtually apart, ending their predatory exploitation and theater politics. Let that hate flow block by block, so our wait for a revolution, promised peace, and security, finally ends. We don’t need to wait, We have all we need - right - friggin - now! All we need is here to start as the first generation of the ones that turn the table. We can strike from here onwards.

You can’t do that just by standing there, we need to rally behind something. So … we need to…

## Slay the Monsters ( A Bitcoin manifesto )

The race against fiat’s totalitarian grip isn’t coming — it’s already here.

And we’re late.

We’re not facing some bureaucratic mess or sleepy institution. We’re facing monsters. Real monsters. The kind that don’t blink, don’t break, and don’t stop.

These creatures don’t rule from parliaments. They rule from shadows. From bloodlines. From vaults built on centuries of power—and centuries of control.

And while we argue over memes, While we nitpick sound quality on a free podcast, While we debate how orange our sunglasses should be— They’re already building the next cage.

You want to know the core of the battle?

It’s this: They built a system designed to enslave you. And it works. Because it’s not just code or money—it’s a mindset. And they’ve trained you for generations to stay small. Stay busy. Stay broke.

They don’t care about trending topics, the fashion they make you wear, the rent seeking and mind numbing media garbage. They don’t care about today’s startup scene. They don’t need to. They freeze technology until their factories are ready. They script the narrative until their puppet politicians can sell it. They control enough markets to play with your life like a cat with a mouse.

And no, they’re not thinking in 5-year business plans. They’re thinking in bloodlines. They’re thinking in centuries.

They are bloodsuckers.

They take the rights of the gifted, Take the skills of the builders and make them into jesters They crush the dreams of the brave, weaken strong sons, and turn bright daughters into obedient servants.They make you lose time;Steal your effortSlap a price on anyone.

But here’s the good news:

We are Bitcoiners. We don’t need their permission. We don’t need to play their game. We hold a sword they can’t lift — an indestructible blockchain. And we have “forever coins”. We have the heaviest hammer

We can build faster. Stack hard money. Deliver proof of work and become the worst multi-generational pests they’ve ever seen. And take everything from them in about four generations:

One generation to build and adapt. One or two to take over, and One glorious one to finish the job and chop their virtual heads off to end the corruptionTheir heads on a stake, is the only proof-of-stake’ism that will be universally liked.

Because in their world, people are the fuel — drained for passive yield. But in our world?

We, the Bitcoin people who underwrite its value, represent the negative yield on fiat. We ARE your negative yield in human form \ We are their weakness — if we become as relentless and evil as they are.We can be methodical and calculated, generations of poison for their systemWe infiltrate, poison, outpace them.Like they did centuries ago with the commons, the tribes and kings. As focused. As strategic. As ruthless.

Then—only then—can we clean ourselves.

Only then, with the deed done, can we rebuild humanity. Burn the bloodlines that buried us.The old bloodlines—those leeches—will be caged, stripped, and left to wither in poverty, and as history proves… they never survive poverty\ While we’ve been bathing in it by choice.

From their ashes, we’ll purge our own darkness and thrive through innovation, not tyranny We will work, We will thrive through innovation, not colonization. Through consensus, not decree. Through quality not administrative control. And talent and skills will rise on merit, not aristocratic last names. We verify without grandeur.

In that world, our temples will exalt beauty — not control.In that world, Their goons and servants will be our jesters, dancing like harlots, their princesses will be sobbing on dirt, they’ll all eat their own industrial drab

The power is already ours; we don’t need to pray, we don’t need hope nor luck. We need raw, unrelenting will.

We need power.

And evil, focused, unshakable determination.

You can’t slay monsters with flyers. You don’t take down empires with stickers. You don’t bring bloodlines to their knees with polite debates on their stages.You slay monsters with the sharpest sword in history — Bitcoin.

They’re gutted with the sharpest blade—our blockchain—plunged into their stone cold hearts, until their black blood flows over the marble floors of their castles and their next of kin. Then, we feast and build anew on the ruins of their depravity.

Their next of kin witnessing our determination while their funding falls dry in promises of continuity they hide or perish.

Then we slay the rest.We drink their blood, their wine, their milkshake. We burn their paper promises and their repeating cycles of social unrest and greed.

We build something new. Something real. On the ruins of everything they corrupted.Bitcoiners need to be more than politeBe more evil, to do more good.Show monsters no mercy nor empathy. Don’t give them hard money, but wreck their legacy, faceless organizations and companies.

We are the debt collectors of last resort. We are the negative yield that spins and twists.We are the final rotation of the hamster wheel of pointless energy.We save ourselves with math..

Bitcoiners,Do thy proof of work, or become a whore for their next generation of silver spoon fed monster kids...\ You’ll have to be polite doing the deeds if you doOr take the smile off their face.Sacrifice.WorkDefy

Slay monsters like a knight building a legacy, freeing the world.

Or serve the monsters like the bitch you are.

Our consensus and your choice.

There’s something timeless about the question:

What does it mean to become a man?

It’s been asked around campfires, whispered in barns, shouted across football fields, and wrestled with in the quiet corners of growing hearts.

But the world today is noisy, fast, and confused. We’ve traded compass points for trending hashtags. And yet, the answer hasn’t changed. It’s not in a six-pack, a bank account, or a thousand followers. Manhood isn’t something you perform. It’s something you become. Slowly. Like iron in the fire.

So let’s bring it back. Dust off the old truths. Stir the ashes and tell the tales that forged generations before us.

1. Stand Before the Mirror Without Excuses The first lesson every boy must face is the hardest: You are responsible for yourself. No one else is going to do your pushups. No one else is going to fight your battles. Own your decisions. Own your failures. Own your growth. This isn’t toxic masculinity. It’s accountability. And it’s the foundation for everything else.

2. Work with Your Hands. Sweat with Purpose. You don’t need to be a mechanic or a farmer, but you do need to understand the dignity of labor. Build something. Fix something. Burn blisters into your palms and then look at them with pride. The boy complains about the work. The man shows up anyway, whether raining or shining, and gets it done.

“In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread.” That wasn’t just instruction, it was initiation. A man earns not just his meal, but his manhood, in the honest work of his hands.

1. Learn to Say ‘No’ and Mean It A man who can’t say no will be dragged in every direction but his own. No to cowardice. No to laziness. No to temptation. No to treating people like tools. No to selling your soul for cheap applause. A real man draws lines. And he holds them even if he stands alone.

2. Protect the Vulnerable Your strength isn’t for domination. It’s for protection. The man shields his wife from the chaos, comforts his kids in the dark, and stands before evil, not behind someone else. The strong man doesn’t puff up his chest to impress. He lowers his voice and steadies the room.

And he never lets fear bully the innocent.

1. Speak Less. Do More. The best men I’ve ever met weren’t loud. They were present. They didn’t announce themselves. They didn’t boast. But you felt them in the room. They made eye contact. They kept their word. They listened before speaking. Being a man isn’t about barking orders, and it’s about earning respect quietly and carrying the weight without making others feel it.

2. Know When to Fight and When to Forgive Every young man dreams of being a warrior. But the real test? Knowing which battles matter. A fool fights everything. A coward fights nothing. A man chooses his ground and stands with conviction. But he also knows when to lay it down. To forgive. To rebuild. To let grace triumph over ego.

That’s not weakness. That’s legacy.

1. Seek Wisdom, Not Just Knowledge Read old books. Listen to old men. Ask questions that don’t fit into a TikTok clip. Ask God for wisdom. Wisdom isn’t information, it’s orientation. It’s the difference between knowing how to swing a sword and knowing when to sheath it. A man of wisdom becomes a man of peace. But that peace was earned, not inherited.

2. Be the Man You Needed When You Were a Boy One day, your own shadow will fall across someone smaller than you. A nephew. A son. A kid on the team. Be the man who shows up. The man who teaches gently. The man who isn’t afraid to apologize. You might be the only example they ever see. And you know how that story goes: The boy becomes the man. The man becomes the guide.

3. Walk with God The old path isn’t just about grit. It’s about grace. You were made by design. You were created with purpose. True manhood comes alive when you stop trying to build yourself into a god and instead walk humbly with the One who made you. A man fully submitted to God is a man fully alive. Not perfect. Not polished. But anchored.

Final Thought: The world doesn’t need more influencers. It needs more men. Men of courage. Men of character. Men of consistency. So if you’re reading this and wondering if you’re doing it right, start here:

Take responsibility, love deeply, protect fiercely, walk humbly, work hard, forgive quickly, speak truth, stand firm, and pass it on.

The fire’s still burning, my friend.

Grab an axe.

Become the man.

Es ist völlig unbestritten, dass der Angriff der russischen Armee auf die Ukraine im Februar 2022 strikt zu verurteilen ist. Ebenso unbestritten ist Russland unter Wladimir Putin keine brillante Demokratie. Aus diesen Tatsachen lässt sich jedoch nicht das finstere Bild des russischen Präsidenten – und erst recht nicht des Landes – begründen, das uns durchweg vorgesetzt wird und den Kern des aktuellen europäischen Bedrohungs-Szenarios darstellt. Da müssen wir schon etwas genauer hinschauen.

Der vorliegende Artikel versucht derweil nicht, den Einsatz von Gewalt oder die Verletzung von Menschenrechten zu rechtfertigen oder zu entschuldigen – ganz im Gegenteil. Dass jedoch der Verdacht des «Putinverstehers» sofort latent im Raume steht, verdeutlicht, was beim Thema «Russland» passiert: Meinungsmache und Manipulation.

Angesichts der mentalen Mobilmachung seitens Politik und Medien sowie des Bestrebens, einen bevorstehenden Krieg mit Russland geradezu herbeizureden, ist es notwendig, dieser fatalen Entwicklung entgegenzutreten. Wenn wir uns nur ein wenig von der herrschenden Schwarz-Weiß-Malerei freimachen, tauchen automatisch Fragen auf, die Risse im offiziellen Narrativ enthüllen. Grund genug, nachzuhaken.

Wer sich schon länger auch abseits der Staats- und sogenannten Leitmedien informiert, der wird in diesem Artikel vermutlich nicht viel Neues erfahren. Andere könnten hier ein paar unbekannte oder vergessene Aspekte entdecken. Möglicherweise klärt sich in diesem Kontext die Wahrnehmung der aktuellen (unserer eigenen!) Situation ein wenig.

Manipulation erkennen

Corona-«Pandemie», menschengemachter Klimawandel oder auch Ukraine-Krieg: Jede Menge Krisen, und für alle gibt es ein offizielles Narrativ, dessen Hinterfragung unerwünscht ist. Nun ist aber ein Narrativ einfach eine Erzählung, eine Geschichte (Latein: «narratio») und kein Tatsachenbericht. Und so wie ein Märchen soll auch das Narrativ eine Botschaft vermitteln.

Über die Methoden der Manipulation ist viel geschrieben worden, sowohl in Bezug auf das Individuum als auch auf die Massen. Sehr wertvolle Tipps dazu, wie man Manipulationen durchschauen kann, gibt ein Büchlein [1] von Albrecht Müller, dem Herausgeber der NachDenkSeiten.

Die Sprache selber eignet sich perfekt für die Manipulation. Beispielsweise kann die Wortwahl Bewertungen mitschwingen lassen, regelmäßiges Wiederholen (gerne auch von verschiedenen Seiten) lässt Dinge irgendwann «wahr» erscheinen, Übertreibungen fallen auf und hinterlassen wenigstens eine Spur im Gedächtnis, genauso wie Andeutungen. Belege spielen dabei keine Rolle.

Es gibt auffällig viele Sprachregelungen, die offenbar irgendwo getroffen und irgendwie koordiniert werden. Oder alle Redenschreiber und alle Medien kopieren sich neuerdings permanent gegenseitig. Welchen Zweck hat es wohl, wenn der Krieg in der Ukraine durchgängig und quasi wörtlich als «russischer Angriffskrieg auf die Ukraine» bezeichnet wird? Obwohl das in der Sache richtig ist, deutet die Art der Verwendung auf gezielte Beeinflussung hin und soll vor allem das Feindbild zementieren.

Sprachregelungen dienen oft der Absicherung einer einseitigen Darstellung. Das Gleiche gilt für das Verkürzen von Informationen bis hin zum hartnäckigen Verschweigen ganzer Themenbereiche. Auch hierfür gibt es rund um den Ukraine-Konflikt viele gute Beispiele.

Das gewünschte Ergebnis solcher Methoden ist eine Schwarz-Weiß-Malerei, bei der einer eindeutig als «der Böse» markiert ist und die anderen automatisch «die Guten» sind. Das ist praktisch und demonstriert gleichzeitig ein weiteres Manipulationswerkzeug: die Verwendung von Doppelstandards. Wenn man es schafft, bei wichtigen Themen regelmäßig mit zweierlei Maß zu messen, ohne dass das Publikum protestiert, dann hat man freie Bahn.

Experten zu bemühen, um bestimmte Sachverhalte zu erläutern, ist sicher sinnvoll, kann aber ebenso missbraucht werden, schon allein durch die Auswahl der jeweiligen Spezialisten. Seit «Corona» werden viele erfahrene und ehemals hoch angesehene Fachleute wegen der «falschen Meinung» diffamiert und gecancelt. [2] Das ist nicht nur ein brutaler Umgang mit Menschen, sondern auch eine extreme Form, die öffentliche Meinung zu steuern.

Wann immer wir also erkennen (weil wir aufmerksam waren), dass wir bei einem bestimmten Thema manipuliert werden, dann sind zwei logische und notwendige Fragen: Warum? Und was ist denn richtig? In unserem Russland-Kontext haben die Antworten darauf viel mit Geopolitik und Geschichte zu tun.

Ist Russland aggressiv und expansiv?

Angeblich plant Russland, europäische NATO-Staaten anzugreifen, nach dem Motto: «Zuerst die Ukraine, dann den Rest». In Deutschland weiß man dafür sogar das Datum: «Wir müssen bis 2029 kriegstüchtig sein», versichert Verteidigungsminister Pistorius.

Historisch gesehen ist es allerdings eher umgekehrt: Russland, bzw. die Sowjetunion, ist bereits dreimal von Westeuropa aus militärisch angegriffen worden. Die Feldzüge Napoleons, des deutschen Kaiserreichs und Nazi-Deutschlands haben Millionen Menschen das Leben gekostet. Bei dem ausdrücklichen Vernichtungskrieg ab 1941 kam es außerdem zu Brutalitäten wie der zweieinhalbjährigen Belagerung Leningrads (heute St. Petersburg) durch Hitlers Wehrmacht. Deren Ziel, die Bevölkerung auszuhungern, wurde erreicht: über eine Million tote Zivilisten.

Trotz dieser Erfahrungen stimmte Michail Gorbatschow 1990 der deutschen Wiedervereinigung zu und die Sowjetunion zog ihre Truppen aus Osteuropa zurück (vgl. Abb. 1). Der Warschauer Pakt wurde aufgelöst, der Kalte Krieg formell beendet. Die Sowjets erhielten damals von führenden westlichen Politikern die Zusicherung, dass sich die NATO «keinen Zentimeter ostwärts» ausdehnen würde, das ist dokumentiert. [3]

Expandiert ist die NATO trotzdem, und zwar bis an Russlands Grenzen (vgl. Abb. 2). Laut dem Politikberater Jeffrey Sachs handelt es sich dabei um ein langfristiges US-Projekt, das von Anfang an die Ukraine und Georgien mit einschloss. Offiziell wurde der Beitritt beiden Staaten 2008 angeboten. In jedem Fall könnte die massive Ost-Erweiterung seit 1999 aus russischer Sicht nicht nur als Vertrauensbruch, sondern durchaus auch als aggressiv betrachtet werden.

Russland hat den europäischen Staaten mehrfach die Hand ausgestreckt [4] für ein friedliches Zusammenleben und den «Aufbau des europäischen Hauses». Präsident Putin sei «in seiner ersten Amtszeit eine Chance für Europa» gewesen, urteilt die Journalistin und langjährige Russland-Korrespondentin der ARD, Gabriele Krone-Schmalz. Er habe damals viele positive Signale Richtung Westen gesendet.

Die Europäer jedoch waren scheinbar an einer Partnerschaft mit dem kontinentalen Nachbarn weniger interessiert als an der mit dem transatlantischen Hegemon. Sie verkennen bis heute, dass eine gedeihliche Zusammenarbeit in Eurasien eine Gefahr für die USA und deren bekundetes Bestreben ist, die «einzige Weltmacht» zu sein – «Full Spectrum Dominance» [5] nannte das Pentagon das. Statt einem neuen Kalten Krieg entgegenzuarbeiten, ließen sich europäische Staaten selber in völkerrechtswidrige «US-dominierte Angriffskriege» [6] verwickeln, wie in Serbien, Afghanistan, dem Irak, Libyen oder Syrien. Diese werden aber selten so benannt.

Speziell den Deutschen stünde außer einer Portion Realismus auch etwas mehr Dankbarkeit gut zu Gesicht. Das Geschichtsbewusstsein der Mehrheit scheint doch recht selektiv und das Selbstbewusstsein einiger etwas desorientiert zu sein. Bekanntermaßen waren es die Soldaten der sowjetischen Roten Armee, die unter hohen Opfern 1945 Deutschland «vom Faschismus befreit» haben. Bei den Gedenkfeiern zu 80 Jahren Kriegsende will jedoch das Auswärtige Amt – noch unter der Diplomatie-Expertin Baerbock, die sich schon länger offiziell im Krieg mit Russland wähnt, – nun keine Russen sehen: Sie sollen notfalls rausgeschmissen werden.

«Die Grundsatzfrage lautet: Geht es Russland um einen angemessenen Platz in einer globalen Sicherheitsarchitektur, oder ist Moskau schon seit langem auf einem imperialistischen Trip, der befürchten lassen muss, dass die Russen in fünf Jahren in Berlin stehen?»

So bringt Gabriele Krone-Schmalz [7] die eigentliche Frage auf den Punkt, die zur Einschätzung der Situation letztlich auch jeder für sich beantworten muss.

Was ist los in der Ukraine?

In der internationalen Politik geht es nie um Demokratie oder Menschenrechte, sondern immer um Interessen von Staaten. Diese These stammt von Egon Bahr, einem der Architekten der deutschen Ostpolitik des «Wandels durch Annäherung» aus den 1960er und 70er Jahren. Sie trifft auch auf den Ukraine-Konflikt zu, den handfeste geostrategische und wirtschaftliche Interessen beherrschen, obwohl dort angeblich «unsere Demokratie» verteidigt wird.

Es ist ein wesentliches Element des Ukraine-Narrativs und Teil der Manipulation, die Vorgeschichte des Krieges wegzulassen – mindestens die vor der russischen «Annexion» der Halbinsel Krim im März 2014, aber oft sogar komplett diejenige vor der Invasion Ende Februar 2022. Das Thema ist komplex, aber einige Aspekte, die für eine Beurteilung nicht unwichtig sind, will ich wenigstens kurz skizzieren. [8]

Das Gebiet der heutigen Ukraine und Russlands – die übrigens in der «Kiewer Rus» gemeinsame Wurzeln haben – hat der britische Geostratege Halford Mackinder bereits 1904 als eurasisches «Heartland» bezeichnet, dessen Kontrolle er eine große Bedeutung für die imperiale Strategie Großbritanniens zumaß. Für den ehemaligen Sicherheits- und außenpolitischen Berater mehrerer US-amerikanischer Präsidenten und Mitgründer der Trilateralen Kommission, Zbigniew Brzezinski, war die Ukraine nach der Auflösung der Sowjetunion ein wichtiger Spielstein auf dem «eurasischen Schachbrett», wegen seiner Nähe zu Russland, seiner Bodenschätze und seines Zugangs zum Schwarzen Meer.

Die Ukraine ist seit langem ein gespaltenes Land. Historisch zerrissen als Spielball externer Interessen und geprägt von ethnischen, kulturellen, religiösen und geografischen Unterschieden existiert bis heute, grob gesagt, eine Ost-West-Spaltung, welche die Suche nach einer nationalen Identität stark erschwert.

Insbesondere im Zuge der beiden Weltkriege sowie der Russischen Revolution entstanden tiefe Risse in der Bevölkerung. Ukrainer kämpften gegen Ukrainer, zum Beispiel die einen auf der Seite von Hitlers faschistischer Nazi-Armee und die anderen auf der von Stalins kommunistischer Roter Armee. Die Verbrechen auf beiden Seiten sind nicht vergessen. Dass nach der Unabhängigkeit 1991 versucht wurde, Figuren wie den radikalen Nationalisten Symon Petljura oder den Faschisten und Nazi-Kollaborateur Stepan Bandera als «Nationalhelden» zu installieren, verbessert die Sache nicht.

Während die USA und EU-Staaten zunehmend «ausländische Einmischung» (speziell russische) in «ihre Demokratien» wittern, betreiben sie genau dies seit Jahrzehnten in vielen Ländern der Welt. Die seit den 2000er Jahren bekannten «Farbrevolutionen» in Osteuropa werden oft als Methode des Regierungsumsturzes durch von außen gesteuerte «demokratische» Volksaufstände beschrieben. Diese Strategie geht auf Analysen zum «Schwarmverhalten» [9] seit den 1960er Jahren zurück (Studentenproteste), wo es um die potenzielle Wirksamkeit einer «rebellischen Hysterie» von Jugendlichen bei postmodernen Staatsstreichen geht. Heute nennt sich dieses gezielte Kanalisieren der Massen zur Beseitigung unkooperativer Regierungen «Soft-Power».

In der Ukraine gab es mit der «Orangen Revolution» 2004 und dem «Euromaidan» 2014 gleich zwei solcher «Aufstände». Der erste erzwang wegen angeblicher Unregelmäßigkeiten eine Wiederholung der Wahlen, was mit Wiktor Juschtschenko als neuem Präsidenten endete. Dieser war ehemaliger Direktor der Nationalbank und Befürworter einer Annäherung an EU und NATO. Seine Frau, die First Lady, ist US-amerikanische «Philanthropin» und war Beamtin im Weißen Haus in der Reagan- und der Bush-Administration.

Im Gegensatz zu diesem ersten Event endete der sogenannte Euromaidan unfriedlich und blutig. Die mehrwöchigen Proteste gegen Präsident Wiktor Janukowitsch, in Teilen wegen des nicht unterzeichneten Assoziierungsabkommens mit der EU, wurden zunehmend gewalttätiger und von Nationalisten und Faschisten des «Rechten Sektors» dominiert. Sie mündeten Ende Februar 2014 auf dem Kiewer Unabhängigkeitsplatz (Maidan) in einem Massaker durch Scharfschützen. Dass deren Herkunft und die genauen Umstände nicht geklärt wurden, störte die Medien nur wenig. [10]

Janukowitsch musste fliehen, er trat nicht zurück. Vielmehr handelte es sich um einen gewaltsamen, allem Anschein nach vom Westen inszenierten Putsch. Laut Jeffrey Sachs war das kein Geheimnis, außer vielleicht für die Bürger. Die USA unterstützten die Post-Maidan-Regierung nicht nur, sie beeinflussten auch ihre Bildung. Das geht unter anderem aus dem berühmten «Fuck the EU»-Telefonat der US-Chefdiplomatin für die Ukraine, Victoria Nuland, mit Botschafter Geoffrey Pyatt hervor.

Dieser Bruch der demokratischen Verfassung war letztlich der Auslöser für die anschließenden Krisen auf der Krim und im Donbass (Ostukraine). Angesichts der ukrainischen Geschichte mussten die nationalistischen Tendenzen und die Beteiligung der rechten Gruppen an dem Umsturz bei der russigsprachigen Bevölkerung im Osten ungute Gefühle auslösen. Es gab Kritik an der Übergangsregierung, Befürworter einer Abspaltung und auch für einen Anschluss an Russland.

Ebenso konnte Wladimir Putin in dieser Situation durchaus Bedenken wegen des Status der russischen Militärbasis für seine Schwarzmeerflotte in Sewastopol auf der Krim haben, für die es einen langfristigen Pachtvertrag mit der Ukraine gab. Was im März 2014 auf der Krim stattfand, sei keine Annexion, sondern eine Abspaltung (Sezession) nach einem Referendum gewesen, also keine gewaltsame Aneignung, urteilte der Rechtswissenschaftler Reinhard Merkel in der FAZ sehr detailliert begründet. Übrigens hatte die Krim bereits zu Zeiten der Sowjetunion den Status einer autonomen Republik innerhalb der Ukrainischen SSR.

Anfang April 2014 wurden in der Ostukraine die «Volksrepubliken» Donezk und Lugansk ausgerufen. Die Kiewer Übergangsregierung ging unter der Bezeichnung «Anti-Terror-Operation» (ATO) militärisch gegen diesen, auch von Russland instrumentalisierten Widerstand vor. Zufällig war kurz zuvor CIA-Chef John Brennan in Kiew. Die Maßnahmen gingen unter dem seit Mai neuen ukrainischen Präsidenten, dem Milliardär Petro Poroschenko, weiter. Auch Wolodymyr Selenskyj beendete den Bürgerkrieg nicht, als er 2019 vom Präsidenten-Schauspieler, der Oligarchen entmachtet, zum Präsidenten wurde. Er fuhr fort, die eigene Bevölkerung zu bombardieren.

Mit dem Einmarsch russischer Truppen in die Ostukraine am 24. Februar 2022 begann die zweite Phase des Krieges. Die Wochen und Monate davor waren intensiv. Im November hatte die Ukraine mit den USA ein Abkommen über eine «strategische Partnerschaft» unterzeichnet. Darin sagten die Amerikaner ihre Unterstützung der EU- und NATO-Perspektive der Ukraine sowie quasi für die Rückeroberung der Krim zu. Dagegen ließ Putin der NATO und den USA im Dezember 2021 einen Vertragsentwurf über beiderseitige verbindliche Sicherheitsgarantien zukommen, den die NATO im Januar ablehnte. Im Februar eskalierte laut OSZE die Gewalt im Donbass.

Bereits wenige Wochen nach der Invasion, Ende März 2022, kam es in Istanbul zu Friedensverhandlungen, die fast zu einer Lösung geführt hätten. Dass der Krieg nicht damals bereits beendet wurde, lag daran, dass der Westen dies nicht wollte. Man war der Meinung, Russland durch die Ukraine in diesem Stellvertreterkrieg auf Dauer militärisch schwächen zu können. Angesichts von Hunderttausenden Toten, Verletzten und Traumatisierten, die als Folge seitdem zu beklagen sind, sowie dem Ausmaß der Zerstörung, fehlen einem die Worte.

Hasst der Westen die Russen?

Diese Frage drängt sich auf, wenn man das oft unerträglich feindselige Gebaren beobachtet, das beileibe nicht neu ist und vor Doppelmoral trieft. Russland und speziell die Person Wladimir Putins werden regelrecht dämonisiert, was gleichzeitig scheinbar jede Form von Diplomatie ausschließt.

Russlands militärische Stärke, seine geografische Lage, sein Rohstoffreichtum oder seine unabhängige diplomatische Tradition sind sicher Störfaktoren für das US-amerikanische Bestreben, der Boss in einer unipolaren Welt zu sein. Ein womöglich funktionierender eurasischer Kontinent, insbesondere gute Beziehungen zwischen Russland und Deutschland, war indes schon vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg eine Sorge des britischen Imperiums.

Ein «Vergehen» von Präsident Putin könnte gewesen sein, dass er die neoliberale Schocktherapie à la IWF und den Ausverkauf des Landes (auch an US-Konzerne) beendete, der unter seinem Vorgänger herrschte. Dabei zeigte er sich als Führungspersönlichkeit und als nicht so formbar wie Jelzin. Diese Aspekte allein sind aber heute vermutlich keine ausreichende Erklärung für ein derart gepflegtes Feindbild.

Der Historiker und Philosoph Hauke Ritz erweitert den Fokus der Fragestellung zu: «Warum hasst der Westen die Russen so sehr?», was er zum Beispiel mit dem Medienforscher Michael Meyen und mit der Politikwissenschaftlerin Ulrike Guérot bespricht. Ritz stellt die interessante These [11] auf, dass Russland eine Provokation für den Westen sei, welcher vor allem dessen kulturelles und intellektuelles Potenzial fürchte.

Die Russen sind Europäer aber anders, sagt Ritz. Diese «Fremdheit in der Ähnlichkeit» erzeuge vielleicht tiefe Ablehnungsgefühle. Obwohl Russlands Identität in der europäischen Kultur verwurzelt ist, verbinde es sich immer mit der Opposition in Europa. Als Beispiele nennt er die Kritik an der katholischen Kirche oder die Verbindung mit der Arbeiterbewegung. Christen, aber orthodox; Sozialismus statt Liberalismus. Das mache das Land zum Antagonisten des Westens und zu einer Bedrohung der Machtstrukturen in Europa.

Fazit

Selbstverständlich kann man Geschichte, Ereignisse und Entwicklungen immer auf verschiedene Arten lesen. Dieser Artikel, obwohl viel zu lang, konnte nur einige Aspekte der Ukraine-Tragödie anreißen, die in den offiziellen Darstellungen in der Regel nicht vorkommen. Mindestens dürfte damit jedoch klar geworden sein, dass die Russische Föderation bzw. Wladimir Putin nicht der alleinige Aggressor in diesem Konflikt ist. Das ist ein Stellvertreterkrieg zwischen USA/NATO (gut) und Russland (böse); die Ukraine (edel) wird dabei schlicht verheizt.

Das ist insofern von Bedeutung, als die gesamte europäische Kriegshysterie auf sorgsam kultivierten Freund-Feind-Bildern beruht. Nur so kann Konfrontation und Eskalation betrieben werden, denn damit werden die wahren Hintergründe und Motive verschleiert. Angst und Propaganda sind notwendig, damit die Menschen den Wahnsinn mitmachen. Sie werden belogen, um sie zuerst zu schröpfen und anschließend auf die Schlachtbank zu schicken. Das kann niemand wollen, außer den stets gleichen Profiteuren: die Rüstungs-Lobby und die großen Investoren, die schon immer an Zerstörung und Wiederaufbau verdient haben.

Apropos Investoren: Zu den Top-Verdienern und somit Hauptinteressenten an einer Fortführung des Krieges zählt BlackRock, einer der weltgrößten Vermögensverwalter. Der deutsche Bundeskanzler in spe, Friedrich Merz, der gerne «Taurus»-Marschflugkörper an die Ukraine liefern und die Krim-Brücke zerstören möchte, war von 2016 bis 2020 Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender von BlackRock in Deutschland. Aber das hat natürlich nichts zu sagen, der Mann macht nur seinen Job.

Es ist ein Spiel der Kräfte, es geht um Macht und strategische Kontrolle, um Geheimdienste und die Kontrolle der öffentlichen Meinung, um Bodenschätze, Rohstoffe, Pipelines und Märkte. Das klingt aber nicht sexy, «Demokratie und Menschenrechte» hört sich besser und einfacher an. Dabei wäre eine für alle Seiten förderliche Politik auch nicht so kompliziert; das Handwerkszeug dazu nennt sich Diplomatie. Noch einmal Gabriele Krone-Schmalz:

«Friedliche Politik ist nichts anderes als funktionierender Interessenausgleich. Da geht’s nicht um Moral.»

Die Situation in der Ukraine ist sicher komplex, vor allem wegen der inneren Zerrissenheit. Es dürfte nicht leicht sein, eine friedliche Lösung für das Zusammenleben zu finden, aber die Beteiligten müssen es vor allem wollen. Unter den gegebenen Umständen könnte eine sinnvolle Perspektive mit Neutralität und föderalen Strukturen zu tun haben.

Allen, die sich bis hierher durch die Lektüre gearbeitet (oder auch einfach nur runtergescrollt) haben, wünsche ich frohe Oster-Friedenstage!

Verstand ohne Gefühl ist unmenschlich; \ Gefühl ohne Verstand ist Dummheit. \ Egon Bahr

Seit Jahren werden wir darauf getrimmt, dass Fakten eigentlich gefühlt seien. Aber nicht alles ist relativ und nicht alles ist nach Belieben interpretierbar. Diese Schokoladenhasen beispielsweise, die an Ostern in unseren Gefilden typisch sind, «ostern» zwar nicht, sondern sie sitzen in der Regel, trotzdem verwandelt sie das nicht in «Sitzhasen».

Nichts soll mehr gelten, außer den immer invasiveren Gesetzen. Die eigenen Traditionen und Wurzeln sind potenziell «pfui», um andere Menschen nicht auszuschließen, aber wir mögen uns toleranterweise an die fremden Symbole und Rituale gewöhnen. Dabei ist es mir prinzipiell völlig egal, ob und wann jemand ein Fastenbrechen feiert, am Karsamstag oder jedem anderen Tag oder nie – aber bitte freiwillig.

Und vor allem: Lasst die Finger von den Kindern! In Bern setzten kürzlich Demonstranten ein Zeichen gegen die zunehmende Verbreitung woker Ideologie im Bildungssystem und forderten ein Ende der sexuellen Indoktrination von Schulkindern.

Wenn es nicht wegen des heiklen Themas Migration oder wegen des Regenbogens ist, dann wegen des Klimas. Im Rahmen der «Netto Null»-Agenda zum Kampf gegen das angeblich teuflische CO2 sollen die Menschen ihre Ernährungsgewohnheiten komplett ändern. Nach dem Willen von Produzenten synthetischer Lebensmittel, wie Bill Gates, sollen wir baldmöglichst praktisch auf Fleisch und alle Milchprodukte wie Milch und Käse verzichten. Ein lukratives Geschäftsmodell, das neben der EU aktuell auch von einem britischen Lobby-Konsortium unterstützt wird.

Sollten alle ideologischen Stricke zu reißen drohen, ist da immer noch «der Putin». Die Unions-Europäer offenbaren sich dabei ständig mehr als Vertreter der Rüstungsindustrie. Allen voran zündelt Deutschland an der Kriegslunte, angeführt von einem scheinbar todesmutigen Kanzlerkandidaten Friedrich Merz. Nach dessen erneuter Aussage, «Taurus»-Marschflugkörper an Kiew liefern zu wollen, hat Russland eindeutig klargestellt, dass man dies als direkte Kriegsbeteiligung werten würde – «mit allen sich daraus ergebenden Konsequenzen für Deutschland».

Wohltuend sind Nachrichten über Aktivitäten, die sich der allgemeinen Kriegstreiberei entgegenstellen oder diese öffentlich hinterfragen. Dazu zählt auch ein Kongress kritischer Psychologen und Psychotherapeuten, der letzte Woche in Berlin stattfand. Die vielen Vorträge im Kontext von «Krieg und Frieden» deckten ein breites Themenspektrum ab, darunter Friedensarbeit oder die Notwendigkeit einer «Pädagogik der Kriegsuntüchtigkeit».

Der heutige «stille Freitag», an dem Christen des Leidens und Sterbens von Jesus gedenken, ist vielleicht unabhängig von jeder religiösen oder spirituellen Prägung eine passende Einladung zur Reflexion. In der Ruhe liegt die Kraft. In diesem Sinne wünsche ich Ihnen frohe Ostertage!

O Bitcoin foi criado como algo muito além de uma moeda digital; ele é uma ideia inovadora que questiona os fundamentos do sistema financeiro convencional. A ideia por trás de sua criação, apresentada pelo enigmático Satoshi Nakamoto, se concentra em dois princípios principais: descentralização e liberdade financeira. Essas noções refletem um esforço para devolver o controle do dinheiro às pessoas, eliminando intermediários e diminuindo a influência de governos e grandes instituições financeiras.

A descentralização é a base do Bitcoin. Diferente das moedas comuns, que são emitidas e geridas por bancos centrais e governos, o Bitcoin funciona em uma rede peer-to-peer. Isso quer dizer que não existe uma autoridade central ou entidade única que controla a moeda. Ao invés disso, todas as transações são validadas e registradas em um livro-razão público chamado blockchain ou timechain, mantido por milhares de computadores em várias partes do mundo.

Essa estrutura descentralizada garante que o Bitcoin seja resistente à censura e imune a manipulações de políticas monetárias, como a impressão excessiva de dinheiro, que pode causar inflação. Além disso, ela elimina a necessidade de intermediários, como bancos, permitindo transações diretas entre usuários. Isso é especialmente valioso em cenários onde o sistema bancário tradicional é inacessível ou composto, como em áreas remotas ou países em crise econômica.

A liberdade financeira promovida pelo Bitcoin é outro elemento transformador. Em sistemas tradicionais, os indivíduos dependem de terceiros, como bancos ou instituições financeiras, para acessar, guardar e transferir dinheiro. Essas entidades podem impor restrições, como limites de saque, altas taxas de transferência ou até mesmo bloquear contas. Com o Bitcoin, o usuário possui controle total sobre seus fundos através de chaves privadas (uma espécie de senha que possibilita o acesso à sua carteira digital).

Além disso, o Bitcoin oferece uma solução acessível para bilhões de pessoas no mundo que estão fora do sistema bancário. Segundo dados do Banco Mundial, cerca de 1,4 bilhão de adultos não têm acesso a contas bancárias, mas muitos têm acesso à internet ou a smartphones. O Bitcoin permite que essas pessoas participem da economia global sem a necessidade de instituições intermediárias.

Outro ponto importante é a resistência à censura. Em regimes autoritários ou situações de instabilidade política, governos podem confiscar ou bloquear os bens dos cidadãos. O Bitcoin, por ser descentralizado e operar em uma rede global, não pode ser controlado ou confiscado de maneira arbitrária, oferecendo uma camada extra de proteção financeira para indivíduos em situações de risco.

A visão do Bitcoin também abrange a formação de um sistema financeiro mais justo e transparente. O blockchain ou timechain, ao registrar todas as transações de modo público e imutável, diminui a chance de fraudes e corrupção. Além disso, a quantidade limitada de 21 milhões de bitcoins, programada no código da moeda, favorece um modelo deflacionário que contrasta com a expansão ilimitada de moedas fiduciárias. Isso confere ao Bitcoin a capacidade de ser uma reserva de valor estável no longo prazo.

Apesar de sua visão promissora, o caminho para alcançar completamente essa liberdade financeira não é livre de desafios. A volatilidade do preço do Bitcoin, preocupações regulatórias e barreiras tecnológicas ainda são obstáculos a serem superados. No entanto, essas dificuldades também criam oportunidades para inovação e para o fortalecimento do ecossistema ao longo do tempo.

Resumindo, a visão por trás do Bitcoin representa uma interrupção do sistema financeiro centralizado, oferecendo às pessoas mais autonomia, transparência e segurança sobre seus recursos financeiros. Ele não é apenas uma tecnologia, mas um movimento que busca empoderar os indivíduos, especialmente aqueles excluídos ou prejudicados pelos modelos econômicos tradicionais. Ao promover descentralização e liberdade financeira, o Bitcoin abre caminho para um futuro onde o dinheiro realmente pertence às pessoas, e não às instituições.

Muito obrigado por teres lido o texto até aqui, espero que esteja tudo bem contigo e um abraço enorme do teu madeirense bitcoiner maximalista favorito. Viva a liberdade!

Zwei mal drei macht vier, \ widewidewitt und drei macht neune, \ ich mach mir die Welt, \ widewide wie sie mir gefällt. \ Pippi Langstrumpf

Egal, ob Koalitionsverhandlungen oder politischer Alltag: Die Kontroversen zwischen theoretisch verschiedenen Parteien verschwinden, wenn es um den Kampf gegen politische Gegner mit Rückenwind geht. Wer den Alteingesessenen die Pfründe ernsthaft streitig machen könnte, gegen den werden nicht nur «Brandmauern» errichtet, sondern der wird notfalls auch strafrechtlich verfolgt. Doppelstandards sind dabei selbstverständlich inklusive.

In Frankreich ist diese Woche Marine Le Pen wegen der Veruntreuung von EU-Geldern von einem Gericht verurteilt worden. Als Teil der Strafe wurde sie für fünf Jahre vom passiven Wahlrecht ausgeschlossen. Obwohl das Urteil nicht rechtskräftig ist – Le Pen kann in Berufung gehen –, haben die Richter das Verbot, bei Wahlen anzutreten, mit sofortiger Wirkung verhängt. Die Vorsitzende des rechtsnationalen Rassemblement National (RN) galt als aussichtsreiche Kandidatin für die Präsidentschaftswahl 2027.

Das ist in diesem Jahr bereits der zweite gravierende Fall von Wahlbeeinflussung durch die Justiz in einem EU-Staat. In Rumänien hatte Călin Georgescu im November die erste Runde der Präsidentenwahl überraschend gewonnen. Das Ergebnis wurde später annulliert, die behauptete «russische Wahlmanipulation» konnte jedoch nicht bewiesen werden. Die Kandidatur für die Wahlwiederholung im Mai wurde Georgescu kürzlich durch das Verfassungsgericht untersagt.

Die Veruntreuung öffentlicher Gelder muss untersucht und geahndet werden, das steht außer Frage. Diese Anforderung darf nicht selektiv angewendet werden. Hingegen mussten wir in der Vergangenheit bei ungleich schwerwiegenderen Fällen von (mutmaßlichem) Missbrauch ganz andere Vorgehensweisen erleben, etwa im Fall der heutigen EZB-Chefin Christine Lagarde oder im «Pfizergate»-Skandal um die Präsidentin der EU-Kommission Ursula von der Leyen.

Wenngleich derartige Angelegenheiten formal auf einer rechtsstaatlichen Grundlage beruhen mögen, so bleibt ein bitterer Beigeschmack. Es stellt sich die Frage, ob und inwieweit die Justiz politisch instrumentalisiert wird. Dies ist umso interessanter, als die Gewaltenteilung einen essenziellen Teil jeder demokratischen Ordnung darstellt, während die Bekämpfung des politischen Gegners mit juristischen Mitteln gerade bei den am lautesten rufenden Verteidigern «unserer Demokratie» populär zu sein scheint.

Die Delegationen von CDU/CSU und SPD haben bei ihren Verhandlungen über eine Regierungskoalition genau solche Maßnahmen diskutiert. «Im Namen der Wahrheit und der Demokratie» möchte man noch härter gegen «Desinformation» vorgehen und dafür zum Beispiel den Digital Services Act der EU erweitern. Auch soll der Tatbestand der Volksverhetzung verschärft werden – und im Entzug des passiven Wahlrechts münden können. Auf europäischer Ebene würde Friedrich Merz wohl gerne Ungarn das Stimmrecht entziehen.

Der Pegel an Unzufriedenheit und Frustration wächst in großen Teilen der Bevölkerung kontinuierlich. Arroganz, Machtmissbrauch und immer abstrusere Ausreden für offensichtlich willkürliche Maßnahmen werden kaum verhindern, dass den etablierten Parteien die Unterstützung entschwindet. In Deutschland sind die Umfrageergebnisse der AfD ein guter Gradmesser dafür.

Come to our meetup to discuss the great Bitcoin Core debate!

The proposal to remove the 80-byte limit on OP_RETURN is getting people talking: should Bitcoin prioritize only monetary transactions or allow more data, such as notarizations?

Some argue that this simplifies the protocol and reflects what already happens in practice, with data stuffed in less efficient ways (as in Taproot).

Others fear it will overload the blockchain and take Bitcoin away from its essence....

Bring your opinion, enjoy a beer and let's debate the future of Bitcoin!

Bitcoin é a primeira moeda digital descentralizada do mundo, criada em 2009 por um indivíduo ou grupo sob o pseudônimo de Satoshi Nakamoto. O seu nascimento marcou o início de uma revolução no sistema financeiro global, introduzindo um novo tipo de moeda que não é controlada pelos governos ou instituições financeiras tradicionais. A história do Bitcoin está profundamente enraizada nos ideais de liberdade económica, transparência e resistência à censura.

A jornada começou em outubro de 2008, quando Satoshi Nakamoto publicou um artigo intitulado “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”. O white paper, publicado na mailing list Cryptozoology, descreve a ideia de um sistema de pagamento digital baseado em uma rede peer-to-peer. Esse conceito elimina a necessidade de intermediários como bancos e resolve um problema conhecido como “gasto duplo” – possibilidade de replicação de moedas digitais – por meio de uma tecnologia chamada blockchain ou aquilo que o próprio Satoshi Nakamoto chamava de timechain.

O blockchain ou timechain é basicamente um livro-razão público e imutável que registra todas as transações do Bitcoin. Opera através de um sistema descentralizado, onde os participantes da rede (os chamados nós ou famosos nodes) verificam as transações e as organizam em blocos. Esses blocos são conectados por sua vez em uma cadeia contínua, formando a base para a segurança e transparência do sistema.

No dia 3 de janeiro de 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto extraiu o primeiro bloco do Bitcoin, conhecido como bloco gênese. O bloco continha uma mensagem codificada referenciando a crise financeira global de 2008: "The Times, 3 de janeiro de 2009, Chanceler à beira do segundo resgate bancário". Esta mensagem é emblemática da motivação por trás do Bitcoin: fornecer uma alternativa ao sistema financeiro centralizado que não conseguiu proteger a economia global.

Ao longo de 2009 e 2010, o Bitcoin permaneceu como um experimento entre os entusiastas da tecnologia e das criptomoedas. As primeiras transações de Bitcoin ocorreram entre participantes da rede, e o primeiro uso comercial da moeda ocorreu em 22 de maio de 2010, quando um programador chamado Laszlo Hanyecz comprou duas pizzas por 10 mil Bitcoins. Esta transação histórica foi apelidada de “Bitcoin Pizza Day”.

Satoshi Nakamoto continuou a contribuir para o desenvolvimento do Bitcoin até o final de 2010, quando desapareceu gradualmente da comunidade. Até hoje, sua identidade permanece um mistério e não há evidências concretas de quem ou quantas pessoas estavam por trás do pseudônimo. Antes de sair, Satoshi Nakamoto entregou o controle do projeto a outros desenvolvedores e deixou claro que o Bitcoin deveria ser uma tecnologia descentralizada, de propriedade de todos e controlada por ninguém.

Desde então, o Bitcoin cresceu exponencialmente. Cresceu de um experimento tecnológico para um ativo multibilionário e é amplamente considerada a forma legítima de moeda digital e reserva de valor. Governos, empresas e indivíduos em todo o mundo adotaram o Bitcoin como alternativa às moedas fiat tradicionais.

Resumindo, a criação do Bitcoin por Satoshi Nakamoto foi mais do que apenas o nascimento de uma moeda digital; Este foi o início de um movimento global para repensar a forma como o dinheiro é controlado e distribuído. Embora a identidade de Satoshi Nakamoto permaneça desconhecida, o seu legado continuará a moldar o futuro do sistema financeiro e a desafiar as estruturas económicas tradicionais.

Spanien bleibt einer der Vorreiter im europäischen Prozess der totalen Überwachung per Digitalisierung. Seit Mittwoch ist dort der digitale Personalausweis verfügbar. Dabei handelt es sich um eine Regierungs-App, die auf dem Smartphone installiert werden muss und in den Stores von Google und Apple zu finden ist. Per Dekret von Regierungschef Pedro Sánchez und Zustimmung des Ministerrats ist diese Maßnahme jetzt in Kraft getreten.

Mit den üblichen Argumenten der Vereinfachung, des Komforts, der Effizienz und der Sicherheit preist das Innenministerium die «Innovation» an. Auch die Beteuerung, dass die digitale Variante parallel zum physischen Ausweis existieren wird und diesen nicht ersetzen soll, fehlt nicht. Während der ersten zwölf Monate wird «der Neue» noch nicht für alle Anwendungsfälle gültig sein, ab 2026 aber schon.

Dass die ganze Sache auch «Risiken und Nebenwirkungen» haben könnte, wird in den Mainstream-Medien eher selten thematisiert. Bestenfalls wird der Aspekt der Datensicherheit angesprochen, allerdings in der Regel direkt mit dem Regierungsvokabular von den «maximalen Sicherheitsgarantien» abgehandelt. Dennoch gibt es einige weitere Aspekte, die Bürger mit etwas Sinn für Privatsphäre bedenken sollten.

Um sich die digitale Version des nationalen Ausweises besorgen zu können (eine App mit dem Namen MiDNI), muss man sich vorab online registrieren. Dabei wird die Identität des Bürgers mit seiner mobilen Telefonnummer verknüpft. Diese obligatorische fixe Verdrahtung kennen wir von diversen anderen Apps und Diensten. Gleichzeitig ist das die Basis für eine perfekte Lokalisierbarkeit der Person.

Für jeden Vorgang der Identifikation in der Praxis wird später «eine Verbindung zu den Servern der Bundespolizei aufgebaut». Die Daten des Individuums werden «in Echtzeit» verifiziert und im Erfolgsfall von der Polizei signiert zurückgegeben. Das Ergebnis ist ein QR-Code mit zeitlich begrenzter Gültigkeit, der an Dritte weitergegeben werden kann.

Bei derartigen Szenarien sträuben sich einem halbwegs kritischen Staatsbürger die Nackenhaare. Allein diese minimale Funktionsbeschreibung lässt die totale Überwachung erkennen, die damit ermöglicht wird. Jede Benutzung des Ausweises wird künftig registriert, hinterlässt also Spuren. Und was ist, wenn die Server der Polizei einmal kein grünes Licht geben? Das wäre spätestens dann ein Problem, wenn der digitale doch irgendwann der einzig gültige Ausweis ist: Dann haben wir den abschaltbaren Bürger.

Dieser neue Vorstoß der Regierung von Pedro Sánchez ist ein weiterer Schritt in Richtung der «totalen Digitalisierung» des Landes, wie diese Politik in manchen Medien – nicht einmal kritisch, sondern sehr naiv – genannt wird. Ebenso verharmlosend wird auch erwähnt, dass sich das spanische Projekt des digitalen Ausweises nahtlos in die Initiativen der EU zu einer digitalen Identität für alle Bürger sowie des digitalen Euro einreiht.

In Zukunft könnte der neue Ausweis «auch in andere staatliche und private digitale Plattformen integriert werden», wie das Medienportal Cope ganz richtig bemerkt. Das ist die Perspektive.

In seinem Beitrag vom 30. März 2025 fragt Henning Rosenbusch auf Telegram angesichts zunehmender digitaler Kontrolle und staatlicher Allmacht:

„Wie soll sich gegen eine solche Tyrannei noch ein Widerstand formieren können, selbst im Untergrund? Sehe ich nicht.“\ (Quelle: t.me/rosenbusch/25228)

Er beschreibt damit ein Gefühl der Ohnmacht, das viele teilen: Eine Welt, in der Totalitarismus nicht mehr mit Panzern, sondern mit Algorithmen kommt. Wo Zugriff auf Geld, Meinungsfreiheit und Teilhabe vom Wohlverhalten abhängt. Der Bürger als kontrollierbare Variable im Code des Staates.\ Die Frage ist berechtigt. Doch die Antwort darauf liegt nicht in alten Widerstandsbildern – sondern in einer neuen Realität.

-- Denn es braucht keinen Untergrund mehr. --

Der Widerstand der Zukunft trägt keinen Tarnanzug. Er ist nicht konspirativ, sondern transparent. Nicht bewaffnet, sondern mathematisch beweisbar. Bitcoin steht nicht am Rand dieser Entwicklung – es ist ihr Fundament. Eine Bastion aus physikalischer Realität, spieltheoretischem Schutz und ökonomischer Wahrheit. Es ist nicht unfehlbar, aber unbestechlich. Nicht perfekt, aber immun gegen zentrale Willkür.

Hier entsteht kein „digitales Gegenreich“, sondern eine dezentrale Renaissance. Keine Revolte aus Wut, sondern eine stille Abkehr: von Zwang zu Freiwilligkeit, von Abhängigkeit zu Selbstverantwortung. Diese Revolution führt keine Kriege. Sie braucht keine Führer. Sie ist ein Netzwerk. Jeder Knoten ein Individuum. Jede Entscheidung ein Akt der Selbstermächtigung.

Weltweit wachsen Freiheits-Zitadellen aus dieser Idee: wirtschaftlich autark, digital souverän, lokal verankert und global vernetzt. Sie sind keine Utopien im luftleeren Raum, sondern konkrete Realitäten – angetrieben von Energie, Code und dem menschlichen Wunsch nach Würde.

Der Globalismus alter Prägung – zentralistisch, monopolistisch, bevormundend – wird an seiner eigenen Hybris zerbrechen. Seine Werkzeuge der Kontrolle werden ihn nicht retten. Im Gegenteil: Seine Geister werden ihn verfolgen und erlegen.

Und während die alten Mächte um Erhalt kämpfen, wächst eine neue Welt – nicht im Schatten, sondern im Offenen. Nicht auf Gewalt gebaut, sondern auf Mathematik, Physik und Freiheit.

Die Tyrannei sieht keinen Widerstand.\ Weil sie nicht erkennt, dass er längst begonnen hat.\ Unwiderruflich. Leise. Überall.

Bitcoin é uma moeda digital descentralizada criada em 2009 por um indivíduo ou grupo sob o pseudônimo de Satoshi Nakamoto. Ao contrário das moedas tradicionais emitidas pelo governo, como o dólar americano ou o euro, o Bitcoin não é controlado por nenhuma autoridade central, como um banco central ou uma instituição financeira. Esta característica inovadora tornou-o foco do debate económico, tecnológico e até mesmo social nos últimos anos.

O Bitcoin funciona com uma tecnologia chamada blockchain (que atualmente a comunidade Bitcoin prefere chamá-la de timechain), é essencialmente um livro digital distribuído. O blockchain ou timechain registra todas as transações feitas na rede Bitcoin de forma aberta e transparente. Cada bloco contém um conjunto de transações que são adicionadas de forma imutável à cadeia, assim que são verificadas pelos mineradores (mineradores são basicamente participantes da rede que usam seu poder computacional para verificar essas mesmas transações). Isto garante a segurança e evita fraudes, uma vez que nenhuma pessoa ou entidade pode alterar retroativamente os registos.

Uma das melhores características ​​do Bitcoin é a sua oferta limitada. Apenas podem ser criados 21 milhões de Bitcoins, o que por este mesmo motivo o Bitcoin apresenta um carácter deflacionário, ao contrário da moeda fiduciária, que os bancos centrais podem imprimir em quantidades ilimitadas. Este limite fixo, combinado com o crescente interesse global pela tecnologia em geral e pela privacidade de modo individual impulsiona a valorização do Bitcoin ao passar do tempo.

Outra característica do Bitcoin é que ele permite transações diretas entre pessoas, eliminando intermediários. Isto é particularmente útil em cenários como transferências internacionais, onde o Bitcoin pode ser utilizado para enviar dinheiro rapidamente e com taxas reduzidas, sem ter que passar por um banco ou serviços financeiros tradicionais no geral. Além disso, é visto como uma forma de liberdade financeira em países com moedas locais instáveis (quase sempre efeito dos bancos centrais imprimem dinheiro de forma completamente descontolada) ​​ou controlos rígidos estatais sobre o capital.

Porém, o Bitcoin não está imune a críticas que tendem sempre a ser críticas vazias que mascaram os interesses pessoais de quem as faz, seja porque trabalham em bancos ou corretoras tradicionais e têm medo de perder o “poder” ou até mesmo o emprego ou então porque têm más intenções e querem vender as suas criptomoedas que no fundo são todas inúteis (as famosas shitcoins). As oscilações de preço do Bitcoin também podem significar riscos enormes para usuários que são no fundo iniciantes, compram por determinado preço e acabam por vender quando o valor caiu pela metade (perdendo pelo menos metade do seu dinheiro). Por outro lado, muitos especialistas consideram o Bitcoin um marco tecnológico e social que desafia os modelos económicos existentes.

Resumindo, o Bitcoin é muito mais do que uma “crypto“ ou “criptomoeda“. Representa uma revolução ou revisão na forma como a maioria dos seres humanos pensam sobre o dinheiro, proporcionando uma alternativa descentralizada, transparente e resistente ao roubo ou atê mesmo à censura. Embora ainda enfrente alguns desafios para ser amplamente aceite por alguns cépticos e por alguns governos preocupados com a perda de controlo das “suas” próprias populações (como mencionado anteriormente), o seu impacto tem sido inegável, abrindo caminho para uma nova era na economia global e abrindo a mente de muitas pessoas para a reflexão.

Muito obrigado por teres lido o texto até aqui, espero que esteja tudo bem contigo e um abraço enorme do teu madeirense bitcoiner maximalista favorito. Viva a liberdade!

Der Irrsinn ist bei Einzelnen etwas Seltenes – \ aber bei Gruppen, Parteien, Völkern, Zeiten die Regel. \ Friedrich Nietzsche

Erinnern Sie sich an die Horrorkomödie «Scary Movie»? Nicht, dass ich diese Art Filme besonders erinnerungswürdig fände, aber einige Szenen daraus sind doch gewissermaßen Klassiker. Dazu zählt eine, die das Verhalten vieler Protagonisten in Horrorfilmen parodiert, wenn sie in Panik flüchten. Welchen Weg nimmt wohl die Frau in der Situation auf diesem Bild?

Diese Szene kommt mir automatisch in den Sinn, wenn ich aktuelle Entwicklungen in Europa betrachte. Weitreichende Entscheidungen gehen wider jede Logik in die völlig falsche Richtung. Nur ist das hier alles andere als eine Komödie, sondern bitterernst. Dieser Horror ist leider sehr real.

Die Europäische Union hat sich selbst über Jahre konsequent in eine Sackgasse manövriert. Sie hat es versäumt, sich und ihre Politik selbstbewusst und im Einklang mit ihren Wurzeln auf dem eigenen Kontinent zu positionieren. Stattdessen ist sie in blinder Treue den vermeintlichen «transatlantischen Freunden» auf ihrem Konfrontationskurs gen Osten gefolgt.

In den USA haben sich die Vorzeichen allerdings mittlerweile geändert, und die einst hoch gelobten «Freunde und Partner» erscheinen den europäischen «Führern» nicht mehr vertrauenswürdig. Das ist spätestens seit der Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz, der Rede von Vizepräsident J. D. Vance und den empörten Reaktionen offensichtlich. Große Teile Europas wirken seitdem wie ein aufgescheuchter Haufen kopfloser Hühner. Orientierung und Kontrolle sind völlig abhanden gekommen.

Statt jedoch umzukehren oder wenigstens zu bremsen und vielleicht einen Abzweig zu suchen, geben die Crash-Piloten jetzt auf dem Weg durch die Sackgasse erst richtig Gas. Ja sie lösen sogar noch die Sicherheitsgurte und deaktivieren die Airbags. Den vor Angst dauergelähmten Passagieren fällt auch nichts Besseres ein und so schließen sie einfach die Augen. Derweil übertrumpfen sich die Kommentatoren des Events gegenseitig in sensationslüsterner «Berichterstattung».

Wie schon die deutsche Außenministerin mit höchsten UN-Ambitionen, Annalena Baerbock, proklamiert auch die Europäische Kommission einen «Frieden durch Stärke». Zu dem jetzt vorgelegten, selbstzerstörerischen Fahrplan zur Ankurbelung der Rüstungsindustrie, genannt «Weißbuch zur europäischen Verteidigung – Bereitschaft 2030», erklärte die Kommissionspräsidentin, die «Ära der Friedensdividende» sei längst vorbei. Soll das heißen, Frieden bringt nichts ein? Eine umfassende Zusammenarbeit an dauerhaften europäischen Friedenslösungen steht demnach jedenfalls nicht zur Debatte.

Zusätzlich brisant ist, dass aktuell «die ganze EU von Deutschen regiert wird», wie der EU-Parlamentarier und ehemalige UN-Diplomat Michael von der Schulenburg beobachtet hat. Tatsächlich sitzen neben von der Leyen und Strack-Zimmermann noch einige weitere Deutsche in – vor allem auch in Krisenzeiten – wichtigen Spitzenposten der Union. Vor dem Hintergrund der Kriegstreiberei in Deutschland muss eine solche Dominanz mindestens nachdenklich stimmen.

Ihre ursprünglichen Grundwerte wie Demokratie, Freiheit, Frieden und Völkerverständigung hat die EU kontinuierlich in leere Worthülsen verwandelt. Diese werden dafür immer lächerlicher hochgehalten und beschworen.

Es wird dringend Zeit, dass wir, der Souverän, diesem erbärmlichen und gefährlichen Trauerspiel ein Ende setzen und die Fäden selbst in die Hand nehmen. In diesem Sinne fordert uns auch das «European Peace Project» auf, am 9. Mai im Rahmen eines Kunstprojekts den Frieden auszurufen. Seien wir dabei!

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!

Description: Just as Bitcoin enabled sovereignty over money, a decentralized shipping protocol would enable sovereignty over trade. An LN/Bisq inspired shipping protocol could create an unstoppable free market.

---

Bitcoin gave us monetary sovereignty, freeing us from central bank manipulation, inflation, and censorship. But there's a missing link in our freedom journey: the physical world of goods.

The Problem: Even with Bitcoin, global trade remains at the mercy of: - Arbitrary tariffs and import restrictions - Political censorship of goods - Privacy invasion of shipping information - Centralized shipping carriers

The Vision: A decentralized shipping protocol with these properties:

• "Onion-routed" packages: Each carrier only knows the previous and next hop
• Bitcoin-secured multi-sig escrow: Funds locked until package delivery confirmed
• Incentive alignment: Carriers set their own fees based on risk assessment
• Privacy tiers: Options for inspected vs. sealed packages with appropriate pricing
• End-to-end sovereignty: Sender and receiver maintain control, intermediate carriers just fulfill their role

How it could work:

1. Sender creates shipping request with package details and destination
2. Protocol finds optimal route through independent carriers
3. Each hop secured by multi-sig deposits larger than package value
4. Carriers only see next hop, not ultimate destination
5. Reputation systems and economic incentives maintain integrity

This creates a free market where any individual can participate as a carrier, earning Bitcoin for facilitating trade. Just like Lightning Network nodes, anyone can open "channels" with trusted partners.

Impact: This would enable true free market principles globally, making artificial trade barriers obsolete and empowering individuals to engage in voluntary exchange regardless of geographic or political boundaries.

There are a lot of challenges. But the first question is if this is a real problem and if its worth solving it.

What components would need development first? How would you solve the physical handoff challenges?

Hey, The legendary Bitcoin Pizza Day is coming soon and this year marks the 15th anniversary of the most iconic transaction in crypto history. On May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two Papa John’s pizzas, unknowingly launching the world’s first real world use of Bitcoin as a medium of exchange. At the time, it was a modest \$41 deal. Today, those two pizzas are worth hundreds of millions of dollars, a staggering reminder of how far Bitcoin has come.

Bitcoin Pizza Day is more than just a quirky footnote in crypto lore. It represents a turning point: when Bitcoin made the leap from digital curiosity to something that could actually be spent. It demonstrated the currency's potential and inspired early adopters to think bigger about decentralization, financial freedom, and disrupting the global economic system.

Over the past 15 years, Bitcoin has evolved from an underground movement to a global asset class. It has weathered market crashes, regulatory scrutiny, and countless headlines proclaiming its death. And yet, it has endured and even thrived with millions of users, institutional investors, and even governments now participating in the Bitcoin ecosystem.

As we mark this anniversary, we celebrate not just the pizzas, but the pioneers the developers, the believers, the skeptics, and the dreamers who helped build what Bitcoin is today. From Lightning payments to Layer 2 innovations, Bitcoin continues to evolve beyond its humble beginnings.

So whether you're ordering pizza this May 22 or simply tipping your hat to the crypto gods, take a moment to reflect on how a couple of pies changed the world.

Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day!(May 22 , 2025)

El Salvador’s bold embrace of Bitcoin has positioned it as a global leader in cryptocurrency adoption, despite a turbulent journey marked by regulatory hurdles, public skepticism, and geopolitical pressures. As the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021, its experiment offers a blueprint for integrating digital assets into national economies while highlighting the complexities of such a transformation. Here’s an in depth look at El Salvador’s achievements, challenges, and evolving role in the crypto landscape.

1. Groundbreaking Legal Tender Adoption and Strategic Reserves. In 2021, El Salvador made history by passing the Bitcoin Law, mandating all businesses to accept the cryptocurrency as legal tender. This move aimed to boost financial inclusion, streamline remittances (which account for 23% of GDP), and attract foreign investment. Despite initial setbacks, including public resistance and technical glitches with the state-backed Chivo wallet, the government persisted.  By March 2025, El Salvador’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Fund held 6,173 BTC (valued at $637 million), acquired through strategic purchases even after revoking Bitcoin’s legal tender status to comply with IMF conditions. This reserve underscores the nation’s long-term commitment to Bitcoin as a treasury asset, with President Nayib Bukele declaring, “It won’t stop now, and it won’t stop in the future”. 

1. Infrastructure and Economic Modernization.  El Salvador’s vision extends beyond cryptocurrency adoption. The government has launched transformative projects to position the country as a regional tech hub: 
2. El Salvador Vuela: A $500 million initiative to modernize aviation infrastructure, enhancing regional connectivity. 
3. Cable Submarino: A submarine fiber-optic cable network to bolster digital infrastructure and attract tech investments. 
4. Bitcoin City: A proposed tax free zone powered by geothermal energy from the Conchagua volcano, designed for Bitcoin mining and crypto innovation. 

These efforts are supported by partnerships with institutions like the Development Bank of Latin America (CAF), reflecting a multi-pronged strategy to leverage blockchain for economic growth. 

1. Navigating International Pressures.  The International Monetary Fund (IMF) played a pivotal role in reshaping El Salvador’s Bitcoin policies. In exchange for a $1.4 billion loan in 2024, the government agreed to: 
2. Revoke Bitcoin’s legal tender status, limiting its use to voluntary transactions. 
3. Halt public sector Bitcoin accumulation (though purchases continue via non-governmental entities). 
4. Privatize the Chivo wallet, which saw limited adoption due to technical issues and public distrust. 

Despite these concessions, El Salvador has maintained its Bitcoin reserves through creative compliance, such as reclassifying purchases under non public sector frameworks. 

1. Lessons and Regulatory Innovation.  El Salvador’s experiment underscores critical lessons for nations exploring crypto adoption: 
2. Public Trust is Paramount: Mandating Bitcoin use top-down failed; only 20% of businesses accepted it by 2022, and 80% of citizens preferred the U.S. dollar. 
3. Regulatory Sandboxes Matter: The country pioneered regulatory flexibility, including temporary suspensions of rules to test crypto frameworks and a Law to Facilitate Financial Inclusion. 

4. Balancing Innovation and Stability: While Bitcoin’s volatility and energy demands drew criticism, initiatives like geothermal mining and IMF aligned reforms aim to mitigate risks. 

5. Global Leadership and Future Prospects.  El Salvador remains a crypto trailblazer, hosting flagship events like the, adopting Bitcoin 2025 conference and the PLANB Forum, which attract global innovators. Its Bitcoin Office, led by Stacy Herbert, continues to drive policy and transparency, with blockchain data publicly tracking reserve purchases. 

Looking ahead, the country faces dual challenges: closing the digital divide (ranked lowest in Latin America for broadband access) and proving Bitcoin’s utility in reducing inequality. Yet, its resilience and strategic vision suggest that the “Bitcoin experiment” is far from over it’s evolving. 

In conclusion, El Salvador’s journey with Bitcoin is a testament to the audacity of innovation. While critics decry its setbacks, the nation’s achievements strategic reserves, infrastructure modernization, and regulatory creativity pave the way for a future where cryptocurrency and traditional finance coexist. As Bukele’s government balances IMF mandates with crypto advocacy, the world watches closely, recognizing that El Salvador’s story is not just about Bitcoin, but about reimagining economic sovereignty in the digital age.

I don't believe in "vibe coding" – it's just the newest Silicon Valley fad trying to give meaning to their latest favorite technology, LLMs. We've seen this pattern before with blockchain, when suddenly Non Fungible Tokens appeared, followed by Web3 startups promising to revolutionize everything from social media to supply chains. VCs couldn't throw money fast enough at anything with "decentralized" (in name only) in the pitch deck. Andreessen Horowitz launched billion-dollar crypto funds, while Y Combinator batches filled with blockchain startups promising to be "Uber for X, but on the blockchain."

The metaverse mania followed, with Meta betting its future on digital worlds where we'd supposedly hang out as legless avatars. Decentralized (in name only) autonomous organizations emerged as the next big thing – supposedly democratic internet communities that ended up being the next scam for quick money.

Then came the inevitable collapse. The FTX implosion in late 2022 revealed fraud, Luna/Terra's death spiral wiped out billions (including my ten thousand dollars), while Celsius and BlockFi froze customer assets before bankruptcy.

By 2023, crypto winter had fully set in. The SEC started aggressive enforcement actions, while users realized that blockchain technology had delivered almost no practical value despite a decade of promises.

Blockchain's promises tapped into fundamental human desires – decentralization resonated with a generation disillusioned by traditional institutions. Evangelists presented a utopian vision of freedom from centralized control. Perhaps most significantly, crypto offered a sense of meaning in an increasingly abstract world, making the clear signs of scams harder to notice.

The technology itself had failed to solve any real-world problems at scale. By 2024, the once-mighty crypto ecosystem had become a cautionary tale. Venture firms quietly scrubbed blockchain references from their websites while founders pivoted to AI and large language models.

---

Most reading this are likely fellow bitcoiners and nostr users who understand that Bitcoin is blockchain's only valid use case. But I shared that painful history because I believe the AI-hype cycle will follow the same trajectory.

Just like with blockchain, we're now seeing VCs who once couldn't stop talking about "Web3" falling over themselves to fund anything with "AI" in the pitch deck. The buzzwords have simply changed from "decentralized" to "intelligent."

"Vibe coding" is the perfect example – a trendy name for what is essentially just fuzzy instructions to LLMs. Developers who've spent years honing programming skills are now supposed to believe that "vibing" with an AI is somehow a legitimate methodology.

This might be controversial to some, but obvious to others:

Formal, context-free grammar will always remain essential for building precise systems, regardless of how advanced natural language technology becomes

The mathematical precision of programming languages provides a foundation that human language's ambiguity can never replace. Programming requires precision – languages, compilers, and processors operate on explicit instructions, not vibes. What "vibe coding" advocates miss is that beneath every AI-generated snippet lies the same deterministic rules that have always governed computation.

LLMs don't understand code in any meaningful sense—they've just ingested enormous datasets of human-written code and can predict patterns. When they "work," it's because they've seen similar patterns before, not because they comprehend the underlying logic.

This creates a dangerous dependency. Junior developers "vibing" with LLMs might get working code without understanding the fundamental principles. When something breaks in production, they'll lack the knowledge to fix it.

Even experienced developers can find themselves in treacherous territory when relying too heavily on LLM-generated code. What starts as a productivity boost can transform into a dependency crutch.

The real danger isn't just technical limitations, but the false confidence it instills. Developers begin to believe they understand systems they've merely instructed an AI to generate – fundamentally different from understanding code you've written yourself.

We're already seeing the warning signs: projects cobbled together with LLM-generated code that work initially but become maintenance nightmares when requirements change or edge cases emerge.

The venture capital money is flowing exactly as it did with blockchain. Anthropic raised billions, OpenAI is valued astronomically despite minimal revenue, and countless others are competing to build ever-larger models with vague promises. Every startup now claims to be "AI-powered" regardless of whether it makes sense.

Don't get me wrong—there's genuine innovation happening in AI research. But "vibe coding" isn't it. It's a marketing term designed to make fuzzy prompting sound revolutionary.

Cursor perfectly embodies this AI hype cycle. It's an AI-enhanced code editor built on VS Code that promises to revolutionize programming by letting you "chat with your codebase." Just like blockchain startups promised to "revolutionize" industries, Cursor promises to transform development by adding LLM capabilities.

Yes, Cursor can be genuinely helpful. It can explain unfamiliar code, suggest completions, and help debug simple issues. After trying it for just an hour, I found the autocomplete to be MAGICAL for simple refactoring and basic functionality.

But the marketing goes far beyond reality. The suggestion that you can simply describe what you want and get production-ready code is dangerously misleading. What you get are approximations with:

• Security vulnerabilities the model doesn't understand
• Edge cases it hasn't considered
• Performance implications it can't reason about
• Dependency conflicts it has no way to foresee

The most concerning aspect is how such tools are marketed to beginners as shortcuts around learning fundamentals. "Why spend years learning to code when you can just tell AI what you want?" This is reminiscent of how crypto was sold as a get-rich-quick scheme requiring no actual understanding.

When you "vibe code" with an AI, you're not eliminating complexity—you're outsourcing understanding to a black box. This creates developers who can prompt but not program, who can generate but not comprehend.

The real utility of LLMs in development is in augmenting existing workflows:

• Explaining unfamiliar codebases
• Generating boilerplate for well-understood patterns
• Suggesting implementations that a developer evaluates critically
• Assisting with documentation and testing

These uses involve the model as a subordinate assistant to a knowledgeable developer, not as a replacement for expertise. This is where the technology adds value—as a sophisticated tool in skilled hands.

Cursor is just a better hammer, not a replacement for understanding what you're building. The actual value emerges when used by developers who understand what happens beneath the abstractions. They can recognize when AI suggestions make sense and when they don't because they have the fundamental knowledge to evaluate output critically.

This is precisely where the "vibe coding" narrative falls apart.

A man once went to a temple to listen to a Dhamma talk. But in his heart, he kept judging and condemning another person who was fishing by the pond nearby — mentally accusing him of being sinful and unafraid of karma — while believing that he himself was making merit by listening to the sermon.

However, the one who was fishing silently rejoiced in the merit of those listening to the Dhamma. He asked forgiveness from the fish and made a heartfelt wish to have the opportunity to do good in his next life, since in this life, he had responsibilities caring for his sick parents and no chance to go to the temple like others.

This story teaches us that merit or sin is not defined by outer actions, but by intention and the true state of the heart.

Some people chant prayers but still gossip. Some give alms but still take advantage of others. Some have knowledge but look down on others. Some keep their bodies clean, but their hearts remain impure.

Do not be deceived by appearances of goodness. Instead, look inward — examine your own heart.

A small act of kindness we offer to a fellow human being may be a greater merit than traveling far to make merit.

It is compassion that sustains the world — not judging others as good or bad.

Wir werden nicht zulassen, dass technisch manches möglich ist, \ aber der Staat es nicht nutzt. \ Angela Merkel

Die Modalverben zu erklären, ist im Deutschunterricht manchmal nicht ganz einfach. Nicht alle Fremdsprachen unterscheiden zum Beispiel bei der Frage nach einer Möglichkeit gleichermaßen zwischen «können» im Sinne von «die Gelegenheit, Kenntnis oder Fähigkeit haben» und «dürfen» als «die Erlaubnis oder Berechtigung haben». Das spanische Wort «poder» etwa steht für beides.

Ebenso ist vielen Schülern auf den ersten Blick nicht recht klar, dass das logische Gegenteil von «müssen» nicht unbedingt «nicht müssen» ist, sondern vielmehr «nicht dürfen». An den Verkehrsschildern lässt sich so etwas meistens recht gut erklären: Manchmal muss man abbiegen, aber manchmal darf man eben nicht.

Dieses Beispiel soll ein wenig die Verwirrungstaktik veranschaulichen, die in der Politik gerne verwendet wird, um unpopuläre oder restriktive Maßnahmen Stück für Stück einzuführen. Zuerst ist etwas einfach innovativ und bringt viele Vorteile. Vor allem ist es freiwillig, jeder kann selber entscheiden, niemand muss mitmachen. Später kann man zunehmend weniger Alternativen wählen, weil sie verschwinden, und irgendwann verwandelt sich alles andere in «nicht dürfen» – die Maßnahme ist obligatorisch.

Um die Durchsetzung derartiger Initiativen strategisch zu unterstützen und nett zu verpacken, gibt es Lobbyisten, gerne auch NGOs genannt. Dass das «NG» am Anfang dieser Abkürzung übersetzt «Nicht-Regierungs-» bedeutet, ist ein Anachronismus. Das war vielleicht früher einmal so, heute ist eher das Gegenteil gemeint.

In unserer modernen Zeit wird enorm viel Lobbyarbeit für die Digitalisierung praktisch sämtlicher Lebensbereiche aufgewendet. Was das auf dem Sektor der Mobilität bedeuten kann, haben wir diese Woche anhand aktueller Entwicklungen in Spanien beleuchtet. Begründet teilweise mit Vorgaben der Europäischen Union arbeitet man dort fleißig an einer «neuen Mobilität», basierend auf «intelligenter» technologischer Infrastruktur. Derartige Anwandlungen wurden auch schon als «Technofeudalismus» angeprangert.

Nationale Zugangspunkte für Mobilitätsdaten im Sinne der EU gibt es nicht nur in allen Mitgliedsländern, sondern auch in der Schweiz und in Großbritannien. Das Vereinigte Königreich beteiligt sich darüber hinaus an anderen EU-Projekten für digitale Überwachungs- und Kontrollmaßnahmen, wie dem biometrischen Identifizierungssystem für «nachhaltigen Verkehr und Tourismus».

Natürlich marschiert auch Deutschland stracks und euphorisch in Richtung digitaler Zukunft. Ohne vernetzte Mobilität und einen «verlässlichen Zugang zu Daten, einschließlich Echtzeitdaten» komme man in der Verkehrsplanung und -steuerung nicht aus, erklärt die Regierung. Der Interessenverband der IT-Dienstleister Bitkom will «die digitale Transformation der deutschen Wirtschaft und Verwaltung vorantreiben». Dazu bewirbt er unter anderem die Konzepte Smart City, Smart Region und Smart Country und behauptet, deutsche Großstädte «setzen bei Mobilität voll auf Digitalisierung».

Es steht zu befürchten, dass das umfassende Sammeln, Verarbeiten und Vernetzen von Daten, das angeblich die Menschen unterstützen soll (und theoretisch ja auch könnte), eher dazu benutzt wird, sie zu kontrollieren und zu manipulieren. Je elektrischer und digitaler unsere Umgebung wird, desto größer sind diese Möglichkeiten. Im Ergebnis könnten solche Prozesse den Bürger nicht nur einschränken oder überflüssig machen, sondern in mancherlei Hinsicht regelrecht abschalten. Eine gesunde Skepsis ist also geboten.

🔐 1. SHA-256 is Quantum-Resistant

Bitcoin’s proof-of-work mechanism relies on SHA-256, a hashing algorithm. Even with a powerful quantum computer, SHA-256 remains secure because:

• Quantum computers excel at factoring large numbers (Shor’s Algorithm).
• However, SHA-256 is a one-way function, meaning there's no known quantum algorithm that can efficiently reverse it.
• Grover’s Algorithm (which theoretically speeds up brute force attacks) would still require 2¹²⁸ operations to break SHA-256 – far beyond practical reach.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

🔑 2. Public Key Vulnerability – But Only If You Reuse Addresses

Bitcoin uses Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) to generate keys.

• A quantum computer could use Shor’s Algorithm to break SECP256K1, the curve Bitcoin uses.
• If you never reuse addresses, it is an additional security element
• 🔑 1. Bitcoin Addresses Are NOT Public Keys

Many people assume a Bitcoin address is the public key—this is wrong.

• When you receive Bitcoin, it is sent to a hashed public key (the Bitcoin address).
• The actual public key is never exposed because it is the Bitcoin Adress who addresses the Public Key which never reveals the creation of a public key by a spend
• Bitcoin uses Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash (P2PKH) or newer methods like Pay-to-Witness-Public-Key-Hash (P2WPKH), which add extra layers of security.

🕵️♂️ 2.1 The Public Key Never Appears

• When you send Bitcoin, your wallet creates a digital signature.
• This signature uses the private key to prove ownership.
• The Bitcoin address is revealed and creates the Public Key
• The public key remains hidden inside the Bitcoin script and Merkle tree.

This means: ✔ The public key is never exposed. ✔ Quantum attackers have nothing to target, attacking a Bitcoin Address is a zero value game.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

🔄 3. Bitcoin Can Upgrade

Even if quantum computers eventually become a real threat:

• Bitcoin developers can upgrade to quantum-safe cryptography (e.g., lattice-based cryptography or post-quantum signatures like Dilithium).
• Bitcoin’s decentralized nature ensures a network-wide soft fork or hard fork could transition to quantum-resistant keys.

⏳ 4. The 10-Minute Block Rule as a Security Feature

• Bitcoin’s network operates on a 10-minute block interval, meaning:Even if an attacker had immense computational power (like a quantum computer), they could only attempt an attack every 10 minutes.Unlike traditional encryption, where a hacker could continuously brute-force keys, Bitcoin’s system resets the challenge with every new block.This limits the window of opportunity for quantum attacks.

---

🎯 5. Quantum Attack Needs to Solve a Block in Real-Time

• A quantum attacker must solve the cryptographic puzzle (Proof of Work) in under 10 minutes.
• The problem? Any slight error changes the hash completely, meaning:If the quantum computer makes a mistake (even 0.0001% probability), the entire attack fails.Quantum decoherence (loss of qubit stability) makes error correction a massive challenge.The computational cost of recovering from an incorrect hash is still incredibly high.

---

⚡ 6. Network Resilience – Even if a Block Is Hacked

• Even if a quantum computer somehow solved a block instantly:The network would quickly recognize and reject invalid transactions.Other miners would continue mining under normal cryptographic rules.51% Attack? The attacker would need to consistently beat the entire Bitcoin network, which is not sustainable.

---

🔄 7. The Logarithmic Difficulty Adjustment Neutralizes Threats

• Bitcoin adjusts mining difficulty every 2016 blocks (\~2 weeks).
• If quantum miners appeared and suddenly started solving blocks too quickly, the difficulty would adjust upward, making attacks significantly harder.
• This self-correcting mechanism ensures that even quantum computers wouldn't easily overpower the network.

---

🔥 Final Verdict: Quantum Computers Are Too Slow for Bitcoin

✔ The 10-minute rule limits attack frequency – quantum computers can’t keep up.

✔ Any slight miscalculation ruins the attack, resetting all progress.

✔ Bitcoin’s difficulty adjustment would react, neutralizing quantum advantages.

Even if quantum computers reach their theoretical potential, Bitcoin’s game theory and design make it incredibly resistant. 🚀

I. Historical Foundations of U.S. Monetary Architecture

The early monetary system of the United States was built atop inherited commodity money conventions from Europe’s maritime economies. Silver and gold coins—primarily Spanish pieces of eight, Dutch guilders, and other foreign specie—formed the basis of colonial commerce. These units were already integrated into international trade and piracy networks and functioned with natural compatibility across England, France, Spain, and Denmark. Lacking a centralized mint or formal currency, the U.S. adopted these forms de facto.

As security risks and the practical constraints of physical coinage mounted, banks emerged to warehouse specie and issue redeemable certificates. These certificates evolved into fiduciary media—claims on specie not actually in hand. Banks observed over time that substantial portions of reserves remained unclaimed for years. This enabled fractional reserve banking: issuing more claims than reserves held, so long as redemption demand stayed low. The practice was inherently unstable, prone to panics and bank runs, prompting eventual centralization through the formation of the Federal Reserve in 1913.

Following the Civil War and unstable reinstatements of gold convertibility, the U.S. sought global monetary stability. After World War II, the Bretton Woods system formalized the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency. The dollar was nominally backed by gold, but most international dollars were held offshore and recycled into U.S. Treasuries. The Nixon Shock of 1971 eliminated the gold peg, converting the dollar into pure fiat. Yet offshore dollar demand remained, sustained by oil trade mandates and the unique role of Treasuries as global reserve assets.

II. The Structure of Fiduciary Media and Treasury Demand

Under this system, foreign trade surpluses with the U.S. generate excess dollars. These surplus dollars are parked in U.S. Treasuries, thereby recycling trade imbalances into U.S. fiscal liquidity. While technically loans to the U.S. government, these purchases act like interest-only transfers—governments receive yield, and the U.S. receives spendable liquidity without principal repayment due in the short term. Debt is perpetually rolled over, rarely extinguished.

This creates an illusion of global subsidy: U.S. deficits are financed via foreign capital inflows that, in practice, function more like financial tribute systems than conventional debt markets. The underlying asset—U.S. Treasury debt—functions as the base reserve asset of the dollar system, replacing gold in post-Bretton Woods monetary logic.

III. Emergence of Tether and the Parastatal Dollar

Tether (USDT), as a private issuer of dollar-denominated tokens, mimics key central bank behaviors while operating outside the regulatory perimeter. It mints tokens allegedly backed 1:1 by U.S. dollars or dollar-denominated securities (mostly Treasuries). These tokens circulate globally, often in jurisdictions with limited banking access, and increasingly serve as synthetic dollar substitutes.

If USDT gains dominance as the preferred medium of exchange—due to technological advantages, speed, programmability, or access—it displaces Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) not through devaluation, but through functional obsolescence. Gresham’s Law inverts: good money (more liquid, programmable, globally transferable USDT) displaces bad (FRNs) even if both maintain a nominal 1:1 parity.

Over time, this preference translates to a systemic demand shift. Actors increasingly use Tether instead of FRNs, especially in global commerce, digital marketplaces, or decentralized finance. Tether tokens effectively become shadow base money.

IV. Interaction with Commercial Banking and Redemption Mechanics

Under traditional fractional reserve systems, commercial banks issue loans denominated in U.S. dollars, expanding the money supply. When borrowers repay loans, this destroys the created dollars and contracts monetary elasticity. If borrowers repay in USDT instead of FRNs:

• Banks receive a non-Fed liability (USDT).
• USDT is not recognized as reserve-eligible within the Federal Reserve System.
• Banks must either redeem USDT for FRNs, or demand par-value conversion from Tether to settle reserve requirements and balance their books.

This places redemption pressure on Tether and threatens its 1:1 peg under stress. If redemption latency, friction, or cost arises, USDT’s equivalence to FRNs is compromised. Conversely, if banks are permitted or compelled to hold USDT as reserve or regulatory capital, Tether becomes a de facto reserve issuer.

In this scenario, banks may begin demanding loans in USDT, mirroring borrower behavior. For this to occur sustainably, banks must secure Tether liquidity. This creates two options: - Purchase USDT from Tether or on the secondary market, collateralized by existing fiat. - Borrow USDT directly from Tether, using bank-issued debt as collateral.

The latter mirrors Federal Reserve discount window operations. Tether becomes a lender of first resort, providing monetary elasticity to the banking system by creating new tokens against promissory assets—exactly how central banks function.

V. Structural Consequences: Parallel Central Banking

If Tether begins lending to commercial banks, issuing tokens backed by bank notes or collateralized debt obligations: - Tether controls the expansion of broad money through credit issuance. - Its balance sheet mimics a central bank, with Treasuries and bank debt as assets and tokens as liabilities. - It intermediates between sovereign debt and global liquidity demand, replacing the Federal Reserve’s open market operations with its own issuance-redemption cycles.

Simultaneously, if Tether purchases U.S. Treasuries with FRNs received through token issuance, it: - Supplies the Treasury with new liquidity (via bond purchases). - Collects yield on government debt. - Issues a parallel form of U.S. dollars that never require redemption—an interest-only loan to the U.S. government from a non-sovereign entity.

In this context, Tether performs monetary functions of both a central bank and a sovereign wealth fund, without political accountability or regulatory transparency.

VI. Endgame: Institutional Inversion and Fed Redundancy

This paradigm represents an institutional inversion:

• The Federal Reserve becomes a legacy issuer.
• Tether becomes the operational base money provider in both retail and interbank contexts.
• Treasuries remain the foundational reserve asset, but access to them is mediated by a private intermediary.
• The dollar persists, but its issuer changes. The State becomes a fiscal agent of a decentralized financial ecosystem, not its monetary sovereign.

Unless the Federal Reserve reasserts control—either by absorbing Tether, outlawing its instruments, or integrating its tokens into the reserve framework—it risks becoming irrelevant in the daily function of money.

Tether, in this configuration, is no longer a derivative of the dollar—it is the dollar, just one level removed from sovereign control. The future of monetary sovereignty under such a regime is post-national and platform-mediated.

ธรรมะที่ดับทุกข์ได้จริงต้องเป็นวิทยาศาสตร์ ถ้าเป็นปรัชญามันจะได้แต่ ประมาณ คะเน คำนวณ ไม่มีของจริง มีแต่สมมติฐาน

สมมติฐานว่า เราเป็นทุกข์ ว่าเราคงจะเป็นทุกข์ หรือว่าอย่างนี้ต้องเรียกว่า เราเป็นทุกข์ มันมีสมมติฐานอย่างนี้

ถ้าตั้งต้นอย่างนี้แล้วหาทางคำนวณต่อไปว่า คงจะดับมันได้อย่างไร อย่างนั้นเป็นปรัชญาหมดแหละ ไม่เป็นพุทธศาสนา และจะไม่มีประโยชน์อะไรด้วย เอาไปทำเป็นปรัชญาเสีย

🌿🌼🌿 ๒,๕๐๐ กว่าปีแล้ว นักวิทยาศาสตร์ยังยืนยันว่า พุทธศาสนา สอนอย่างมีหลักการ ที่เป็นจริงที่สุด "...ปัญญาของพระพุทธองค์“ อาตมาเห็นว่าเรื่อง ปัญญา นี้ เราไม่จำเป็นต้องไปเอาของฝรั่ง ซึ่งก็มีดีบ้าง เสียบ้าง แต่จะบอกว่า ระบบต่างๆ ปรัชญาต่างๆ ทั้งหมดของตะวันตก

ขอให้จำไว้ให้ดีว่า เป็นปรัชญาแนวความคิดของ “ปุถุชน” ไม่ใช่ปัญญาที่เกิดขึ้นกับ “พระพุทธเจ้า” คือ “ผู้ที่รู้โลกและชีวิตตามความเป็นจริง”

จะเห็นว่า..ระบบความคิดที่ถือว่าเฉียบแหลมที่สุดของฝรั่ง อย่างเช่น คาร์ลมาร์ค (Larl Marx) ของ ฟรอยด์ (Sigmund Freud) เป็นต้น ไม่กี่สิบปีก็ทิ้งทั้งหมด

แต่ของพระพุทธองค์เกือบทั้ง ๒,๕๐๐ กว่าปี ยังไม่มีนักวิทยาศาสตร์ที่ไหนที่สามารถพิสูจน์ได้ว่า คำสอนของพระพุทธเจ้าผิดพลาดคลาดเคลื่อนไปจากความเป็นจริงแม้แต่ข้อเดียว ๘,๔๐๐๐ พระธรรมขันธ์ มีข้อไหนที่ผิด ? ถ้าเราเทียบกับนักปราชญ์คนอื่น หรือศาสดาคนอื่น จะเห็นความแตกต่างอย่างชัดเจน

ในสมัยโบราณนั้น นักปราชญ์ที่มีชื่อเสียงมากที่สุดของโลกตะวันตกคงจะเป็นอริสโตเติ้ล ที่จริงหลักปรัชญาของอริสโตเติ้ลในระดับศีลธรรมหรือจริยธรรมก็น่าศึกษา เพราะมีบางสิ่งบางอย่าง หลายสิ่งหลายอย่างที่คล้ายกับคำสอนของพระพุทธเจ้า

แต่ถ้าเราอ่านปรัชญาของอริสโตเติ้ลทั้งหมด ก็คงจะเกิดความรู้สึกว่า หลายอย่างที่ว่าไม่ใช่ หรือว่ามีหลายอย่างที่คนปัจจุบันเชื่อไม่ได้(ไม่เข้ากับยุคสมัย) ยกตัวอย่าง ในการเขียนเรื่องหลักการเมือง ปรัชญาการเมือง อริสโตเติ้ลบอกว่า คนที่เกิดในโลกนี้มีสองอย่าง หรือว่าสองประเภท ประเภทหนึ่งคือ เจ้านาย เกิดแล้วพร้อมที่เป็นเจ้านาย อีกประเภทหนึ่งก็คือคนรับใช้ คือมีธรรมชาติอยู่แล้วว่าเกิดแล้วต้องเป็นคนรับใช้ ดังนั้น สังคมของเรามีคนรับใช้ไม่ใช่สิ่งผิดเลย มันเป็นสิ่งที่ถูกต้องอยู่แล้ว เพราะพวกนี้เกิดขึ้นเพื่อเป็นคนรับใช้ของเจ้านายทั้งหลาย **นี่คือความคิดของนักปราชญ์ที่เก่งที่สุดในโลกตะวันตก

อีกคนหนึ่ง เวลาต่อมาหลายร้อยปี คือ เดคาร์ด ซึ่งมีผลต่อสังคมตะวันตกมาก เดคาร์ต ถือว่า สัตว์ทั้งหลายไม่มีความน่าสงสาร ไม่มีความรู้สึก ถ้าสัตว์ร้องก็ไม่มีความหมาย

ตัวอย่างมีมากกว่านี้ แต่ถ้าเปรียบเทียบกับคำสอนของพระพุทธองค์ ในความรู้สึกของอาตมา ไม่มีที่ไหนที่เราจะบอกได้ว่า คำสอนนี้ล้าสมัยแล้ว แต่บางคนก็ยังถืออย่างนั้นอยู่เหมือนกัน (เช่น)ถือว่า คำสอนของพระพุทธเจ้าเกี่ยวกับเรื่องการเวียนว่ายตายเกิด เป็นเรื่องความเชื่อถือของคนในสมัยก่อน..."

สันทิฏฐิโกตัวกู_แก้ได้ด้วยสันทิฏฐิโกจริง

ตั้งแต่ครั้งพุทธกาลหรือก่อนพุทธกาล ก็มีคนถือว่ามันมีตัวกู - มีของกู,

ปรัชญาของพวกฝรั่ง ก็มีอยู่แขนงหนึ่ง หรือว่าพวกหนึ่ง ที่ถือเรื่องมีตัวกู ที่ว่าฉันคิด แล้วก็ฉะนั้นฉันมีอยู่, สูตรของเขาว่าอย่างนี้ คอกิโต, เออโกซุม, เป็นภาษาลาติน ออกเสียงอย่างไรก็ไม่รู้ อ่านตรง ๆอย่างภาษาอังกฤษเป็นอย่างนี้, cogito, ergo sum นั่นแหละ I think, therefore I exist. เพราะฉันคิดได้ ฉันจึงมีอยู่,นี้เขาก็พูดดีที่สุดแล้วว่า, ก็เราคิดนึกได้ เรารู้สึกคิดนึกอยู่ตลอดเวลา การที่คิดนึกได้นั้นมันต้องมี, มีเหตุผลหรือมีอะไรพอที่จะเป็นตัวฉัน, ฉันคิด ฉันมีอยู่ มีเท่านี้, มันมีสั้น ๆเท่านี้ เขาเรียกว่าปรัชญาของเดสคารด์, แล้วมันก็ไม่ใช่ของเดสคารด์ มันของคนทั้งโลก, กระทั่งในเมืองไทย กระทั่งพุทธบริษัท ในประเทศไทย ก็มีหลักอย่างนี้ : ฉันคิดได้ ฉันรู้สึกอยู่ว่าอย่างนั้น อย่างนี้ มันก็ต้องเป็นตัวฉัน มีตัวฉัน, มันช่วยไม่ได้
คนที่มีปัญญา มีอำนาจ มีเสรีภาพ จะต้องคิดอย่างนี้ทั้งนั้น, จะต้องถามอย่างนี้ทั้งนั้น
แล้วผมก็เคยประสบมามาก คนใหญ่คนโต เขาไม่อาจจะอ่านบทความของเราเข้าใจได้ ที่ว่าไม่มีตัวตน, เพราะรู้สึกแต่ว่า มีตัวตนอยู่ทุกทีไปตลอดเวลาด้วย นี้มันเป็นตัวอย่างที่ทำให้เห็นว่า… สันทิฏฐิโกของแต่ะละคนล้วนแต่เป็นตัวกู ทั้งนั้นแหละ, ถึงคนที่กำลังพูด เรื่องอนัตตาเรื่องอะไรอยู่ ก็มีสันทิฏฐิโกเป็นตัวกูทั้งนั้นแหละ, แล้วปากมันก็พูดเรื่องไม่ใช่ตัวกูหรือไม่มีตัวกู

ฉะนั้น จึงถือว่าเป็นเรื่องที่ยากลำบากที่สุดกว่าเรื่องใดหมด ในบรรดาเรื่องที่เกี่ยวกับอนัตตา ไม่ใช่ตน, หรือว่า หลักของพุทธศาสนา ก็แปลว่า คำสอนของพระพุทธเจ้าเรื่องนี้ ประสบปัญหาหนัก เพราะทุกคนรู้สึกเป็นตัวตนอยู่เรื่อย, เป็นสันทิฏฐิโกของตัวตนอยู่เรื่อยไปไม่ว่าที่ไหน

ทีนี้จะมาสอนกันอย่างไร ให้เกิดความรู้สึกกลับตรงกันข้าม ว่าไม่ใช่ตัวตน มันต้องเป็นเรื่องเฉพาะคนเฉพาะกรณีมากกว่า, จะพูดทีเดียวสำหรับทุกคนนี้ เข้าใจว่ามันเป็นไปไม่ได้, เราจะเทศน์ทีเดียวฟังกันทั้งหมด ทั้งหมู่ ทั้งประเทศนี้ มันแทบจะไม่มีประโยชน์อะไรเลย, มันเป็นเรื่องเฉพาะคน คนหนึ่ง ๆ เคยมีประสบการณ์อะไรมาแล้ว เคยคิดอะไรมาแล้ว ค้นอะไรมามากแล้ว ก็มาพูดกันให้เหมาะแก่ เรื่องของบุคคลนั้น ก็พอจะเห็น แต่ทีนี้มันมีเทคนิคหรือมันมีอุบายของธรรมชาติอยู่อันหนึ่ง ซึ่งจะเป็นหนทางออก อย่าลืมผมเคยบอกคุณที่เพิ่งบวชใหม่นี้ว่า ธรรมะทุกระบบเป็นอุบายทั้งนั้น

อย่าไปพูดว่าจริง หรือไม่จริง ไม่อะไรอย่าไปพูด, รู้จักมันแต่ว่ามันเป็นอุบายก็แล้วกัน ถ้ามันมีประโยชน์ก็ใช้ได้ แล้วแต่ละอุบายมันก็เป็นเทคนิคของธรรมชาติ, ไม่ใช่มนุษย์บัญญัติ คือว่าต้องเป็นอย่างนั้นลงไปก่อน ผลมันจึงจะเกิดขึ้นมาอย่างนี้, เรียกว่าเทคนิคของธรรมชาติดีกว่า ทีนี้มนุษย์ก็ไม่รู้อะไรมากไปกว่าแต่เพียงว่าเอ้อ, อันนี้มัน อาจจะเอามาใช้เป็นอุบายแก้ปัญหานี้ได้ ทีนี้อุบายหรือธรรมะที่เป็นนอุบายนี้ ที่จะมาแก้สันทิฏฐิโกของตัวกูนี้ มันก็มีอยู่, ไม่ใช่ไม่มี คุณฟังดูให้ดี ว่าทุกคนมันรู้สึก รู้สึกอยู่ในใจเอง แจ่มแจ้งว่า มีตัวกู มีของกู จะไปเปลี่ยนของเขาไม่ได้, จะไปจับเปลี่ยนอย่างไรได้ จะไปพูดอย่างอธิบายว่า โอ๊ย บังคับไม่ได้ เหมือนกับความฝันหรืออะไรต่าง ๆ นี้ มันก็พูดกันมาแล้ว แม้ในสูตร ในพระบาลีที่เป็นสูตร ก็พูดทำนองนี้ว่า
ถ้าเป็นตัวตน ตัวกู มันก็ต้องบังคับได้ตามต้องการซิ, เดี๋ยวนี้มันบังคับไม่ได้, เช่นจะบังคับรูป ว่ารูปจงเป็นอย่างนี้, เวทนาจงเป็นอย่างนี้, สัญญาจงเป็นอย่างนี้, อย่าเป็นอย่างอื่น นี้มันก็บังคับไม่ได้

เพราะฉะนั้น จึงถือว่าไม่ใช่ตัวกู แล้วมันก็เคยทำให้มีผู้บรรลุมรรคผลมาแล้ว เพราะคำพูดเพียงเท่านี้, แต่อย่าลืมว่า นั้นมันเฉพาะหมู่นั้นกรณีนั้นเท่านั้น กรณีอื่นมันเป็นไปไม่ได้ เห็นไหม ? ทีนี้มันมีอุบายอะไร ที่จะใช้ได้แก่ทุกคน ที่จะไปแก้สิ่งที่เหนียวแน่นที่สุด คือสันทิฏฐิโกแห่งตัวกูนี้ มันจะต้องอุบายทำนองว่า เผชิญกันจริง ๆ ให้มันเป็นสันทิฏฐิโก เข้าไปอีกอย่างหนึ่ง อีกเรื่องหนึ่ง คือว่ามีความรู้สึกเป็นตัวกูทีไรก็มีความทุกข์ทุกที, เราไม่พูดกันแล้วว่า เหตุไรจึงถือว่าเป็นอนัตตา จะไม่พูด, แต่ให้มาตั้งข้อสังเกต หรือว่าเผชิญกันเข้าไปจริง ๆ กับความรู้สึกว่า ถ้าความรู้สึกว่าตัวกูเกิดขึ้นมาทีไรแล้วก็เป็นทุกข์ทุกที

เอ้า, ใครกล้าดีลองดู ลองปล่อยให้ความคิด ที่เป็นตัวกู - ของกูเกิด มันเป็นทุกข์ทุกที
แล้วนี่คืออุบาย, ลองสร้างความคิดที่เป็นตัวกู - ของกูขึ้นมา หรือปล่อยให้ความคิดที่เป็นตัวกู - ของกูเกิดขึ้นมา มันเป็นความทุกข์ทุกที, มันเผาลนทุกที
เมื่อทำอยู่อย่างนี้มันเข็ด, มันรู้จักเข็ด, หรือมันเริ่มเข็ด เริ่มเอือม เริ่มระอา, นั่นแหละจึงจะรู้สึกว่า โอ๊ะ ไม่เอาแล้วโว้ย เรื่องตัวกู -ของกูนี้ไม่ไหว, เป็นเรื่องไม่ไหวขึ้นมา

นี้เราเอาสันทิฏฐิโกจริง ๆ ไปแก้สันทิฏฐิโกเท็จ ๆ, เอาสันทิฏฐิโกจริง ๆไปแก้สันทิฏฐิโกหลอกลวง
สันทิฏฐิโกแห่งตัวกูนั้น มันจริงสำหรับคนโง่ ที่ยังโง่อยู่ ยังไม่มีความเป็นพระอริยะสักนิดเดียว มันสันทิฏฐิโกว่าตัวกู, ตัวกูเรื่อย ทีนี้มันแก้ไม่ได้ดอก ถ้าไม่มีอะไรที่มันมีน้ำหนักเท่ากัน มีกำลังเท่ากัน มันแก้ไม่ได้ จะไปบิดกลับเหมือนกับพลิกหน้ามือเป็นหลังมือนี่ มันก็ทำไม่ได้, ไม่มีใครทำได้โดยวิธีพูด หรือโดยวิธีอะไร ต้องสร้างสันทิฏฐิโกเกี่ยวกับความทุกข์ขึ้นมา, สันฏฐิโกในความทุกข์ให้รู้รสของความทุกข์จริง ๆ แล้วก็ทุกครั้งที่มีตัวกู - ของกูเกิดขึ้นในใจ, โดยอาศัยหลักที่ว่า…

การเกิดทุกคราวเป็นทุกข์ทุกที การเกิดทุกคราวเป็นทุกข์ทุกที

การเกิดนี้หมายถึงเกิดขึ้นแห่งตัวกู ถ้าไม่มีตัวกูก็ไม่ถือว่าเป็นการเกิด, จะเป็นตัวกูชนิดไหนก็ตาม ถ้ามีขึ้นมาแล้วเรียกว่าเป็นการเกิด เกิดแห่งตัวเรา, นี้ก็รู้ผล รู้สึกในผลของการเกิดนี้ เกิดทุกทีเป็นทุกข์ทุกที : ตัวกูใหญ่ก็ทุกข์มาก, ตัวกูเล็กก็ทุกข์น้อย, ตัวกูยาวก็ทุกข์ยาว,เป็นต้น

ฉะนั้น วิธีปฏิบัติจึงได้แก่การทำความซึมซาบ realize อยู่กับเรื่องความทุกข์ ที่เกิดจากตัวกูนี้ตลอดเวลา, ที่เราเรียกว่า… ทำวิปัสสนา

@ 000002de:c05780a7

I've been eager to share my thoughts on "Return of the Strong Gods" by R.R. Reno since I finished it a week ago.

I found this book incredibly insightful. @SimpleStacker's excellent review prompted me to pick it up, and I'm glad I did. While I won't be providing a full review, I will share some of the key insights and thoughts that resonated with me.

Reno masterfully dissects the sociological underpinnings of the political shifts in the US and the Western world over the past decade and a half. His analysis of the rise of populism and nationalism is compelling and rings true to my personal observations. Reno's central thesis is that post-WW2, the West embraced "weaker gods"—ideals like democracy, pluralism, and liberalism—fearing a repeat of the strong nationalistic sentiments that led to Hitler's rise. He argues that this shift has left many people feeling culturally homeless and desperate for strong leadership that listens to their grievances.

A significant portion of Reno's argument is built on the ideas of Karl Popper, a philosopher I was unfamiliar with before reading this book. Popper's work "The Open Society and Its Enemies" has significantly influenced post-war consensus, which Reno argues has led to a disconnect between the political elite and the common people. This disconnect, he posits, is a primary driver of populist sentiments.

Reno also delves into economics, discussing Friedrich Hayek and his agreement with some of Popper's positions. This intersection of philosophy and economics provides a unique lens through which to view the political landscape. Reno's mention of the Treaty of Versailles as a catalyst for Hitler's rise is a point often overlooked in discussions about WW2. He argues that the punitive measures imposed on Germany created an environment ripe for a strongman to emerge.

One of the most compelling aspects of Reno's argument is his explanation of how the political elite often lose touch with the values and wishes of the people they represent. He draws a powerful analogy between cultural homelessness and the desperation that drives people to seek strong leadership. This section of the book particularly resonated with me, as it aligns with my own observations of the political climate.

I would have liked Reno to start his analysis with Woodrow Wilson, whose "making the world safe for democracy" slogan embodied a form of Christian nationalism. Wilson's ideals and the post-WW1 environment laid the groundwork for the open society movement, which Reno critiques. Exploring this historical context could have strengthened Reno's argument.

Reno occasionally conflates economic liberalism with libertinism, which I found to be a minor flaw in an otherwise strong argument. He rightly points out the need for moral ethics in society but seems to overlook the distinction between economic freedom and moral laxity. Reno's discussion of Milton Friedman's ideas further highlights this confusion. While Reno argues that free trade has contributed to many of our modern ills, I believe the issue lies more with nation-state trade agreements like NAFTA, which are not true examples of free trade.

Another area where I disagree with Reno is his conflation of the nation with the state. Nations are cultural entities that predate and can exist independently of states. Reno's argument would be stronger if he acknowledged this distinction, as it would clarify his points about national pride and cultural heritage.

Reno's final chapters offer a cautionary tale about the return of strong gods and the danger of making them idols. He warns against authoritarianism and the overreach of the state, advocating for a balance that respects cultural heritage without succumbing to nationalism.

In conclusion, "Return of the Strong Gods" is a thought-provoking exploration of the political and cultural shifts of our time. Reno's insights are valuable, and his arguments, while not without flaws, provide a fresh perspective on the rise of populism and nationalism. I recommend this book to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the forces shaping our world today.

Bald werde es verboten, alleine im Auto zu fahren, konnte man dieser Tage in verschiedenen spanischen Medien lesen. Die nationale Verkehrsbehörde (Dirección General de Tráfico, kurz DGT) werde Alleinfahrern das Leben schwer machen, wurde gemeldet. Konkret erörtere die Generaldirektion geeignete Sanktionen für Personen, die ohne Beifahrer im Privatauto unterwegs seien.

Das Alleinfahren sei zunehmend verpönt und ein Mentalitätswandel notwendig, hieß es. Dieser «Luxus» stehe im Widerspruch zu den Maßnahmen gegen Umweltverschmutzung, die in allen europäischen Ländern gefördert würden. In Frankreich sei es «bereits verboten, in der Hauptstadt allein zu fahren», behauptete Noticiastrabajo Huffpost in einer Zwischenüberschrift. Nur um dann im Text zu konkretisieren, dass die sogenannte «Umweltspur» auf der Pariser Ringautobahn gemeint war, die für Busse, Taxis und Fahrgemeinschaften reserviert ist. Ab Mai werden Verstöße dagegen mit einem Bußgeld geahndet.

Die DGT jedenfalls wolle bei der Umsetzung derartiger Maßnahmen nicht hinterherhinken. Diese Medienberichte, inklusive des angeblich bevorstehenden Verbots, beriefen sich auf Aussagen des Generaldirektors der Behörde, Pere Navarro, beim Mobilitätskongress Global Mobility Call im November letzten Jahres, wo es um «nachhaltige Mobilität» ging. Aus diesem Kontext stammt auch Navarros Warnung: «Die Zukunft des Verkehrs ist geteilt oder es gibt keine».

Die «Faktenchecker» kamen der Generaldirektion prompt zu Hilfe. Die DGT habe derlei Behauptungen zurückgewiesen und klargestellt, dass es keine Pläne gebe, Fahrten mit nur einer Person im Auto zu verbieten oder zu bestrafen. Bei solchen Meldungen handele es sich um Fake News. Teilweise wurde der Vorsitzende der spanischen «Rechtsaußen»-Partei Vox, Santiago Abascal, der Urheberschaft bezichtigt, weil er einen entsprechenden Artikel von La Gaceta kommentiert hatte.

Der Beschwichtigungsversuch der Art «niemand hat die Absicht» ist dabei erfahrungsgemäß eher ein Alarmzeichen als eine Beruhigung. Walter Ulbrichts Leugnung einer geplanten Berliner Mauer vom Juni 1961 ist vielen genauso in Erinnerung wie die Fake News-Warnungen des deutschen Bundesgesundheitsministeriums bezüglich Lockdowns im März 2020 oder diverse Äußerungen zu einer Impfpflicht ab 2020.

Aber Aufregung hin, Dementis her: Die Pressemitteilung der DGT zu dem Mobilitätskongress enthält in Wahrheit viel interessantere Informationen als «nur» einen Appell an den «guten» Bürger wegen der Bemühungen um die Lebensqualität in Großstädten oder einen möglichen obligatorischen Abschied vom Alleinfahren. Allerdings werden diese Details von Medien und sogenannten Faktencheckern geflissentlich übersehen, obwohl sie keineswegs versteckt sind. Die Auskünfte sind sehr aufschlussreich, wenn man genauer hinschaut.

Digitalisierung ist der Schlüssel für Kontrolle

Auf dem Kongress stellte die Verkehrsbehörde ihre Initiativen zur Förderung der «neuen Mobilität» vor, deren Priorität Sicherheit und Effizienz sei. Die vier konkreten Ansätze haben alle mit Digitalisierung, Daten, Überwachung und Kontrolle im großen Stil zu tun und werden unter dem Euphemismus der «öffentlich-privaten Partnerschaft» angepriesen. Auch lassen sie die transhumanistische Idee vom unzulänglichen Menschen erkennen, dessen Fehler durch «intelligente» technologische Infrastruktur kompensiert werden müssten.

Die Chefin des Bereichs «Verkehrsüberwachung» erklärte die Funktion des spanischen National Access Point (NAP), wobei sie betonte, wie wichtig Verkehrs- und Infrastrukturinformationen in Echtzeit seien. Der NAP ist «eine essenzielle Web-Applikation, die unter EU-Mandat erstellt wurde», kann man auf der Website der DGT nachlesen.

Das Mandat meint Regelungen zu einem einheitlichen europäischen Verkehrsraum, mit denen die Union mindestens seit 2010 den Aufbau einer digitalen Architektur mit offenen Schnittstellen betreibt. Damit begründet man auch «umfassende Datenbereitstellungspflichten im Bereich multimodaler Reiseinformationen». Jeder Mitgliedstaat musste einen NAP, also einen nationalen Zugangspunkt einrichten, der Zugang zu statischen und dynamischen Reise- und Verkehrsdaten verschiedener Verkehrsträger ermöglicht.

Diese Entwicklung ist heute schon weit fortgeschritten, auch und besonders in Spanien. Auf besagtem Kongress erläuterte die Leiterin des Bereichs «Telematik» die Plattform «DGT 3.0». Diese werde als Integrator aller Informationen genutzt, die von den verschiedenen öffentlichen und privaten Systemen, die Teil der Mobilität sind, bereitgestellt werden.

Es handele sich um eine Vermittlungsplattform zwischen Akteuren wie Fahrzeugherstellern, Anbietern von Navigationsdiensten oder Kommunen und dem Endnutzer, der die Verkehrswege benutzt. Alle seien auf Basis des Internets der Dinge (IOT) anonym verbunden, «um der vernetzten Gemeinschaft wertvolle Informationen zu liefern oder diese zu nutzen».

So sei DGT 3.0 «ein Zugangspunkt für einzigartige, kostenlose und genaue Echtzeitinformationen über das Geschehen auf den Straßen und in den Städten». Damit lasse sich der Verkehr nachhaltiger und vernetzter gestalten. Beispielsweise würden die Karten des Produktpartners Google dank der DGT-Daten 50 Millionen Mal pro Tag aktualisiert.

Des Weiteren informiert die Verkehrsbehörde über ihr SCADA-Projekt. Die Abkürzung steht für Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, zu deutsch etwa: Kontrollierte Steuerung und Datenerfassung. Mit SCADA kombiniert man Software und Hardware, um automatisierte Systeme zur Überwachung und Steuerung technischer Prozesse zu schaffen. Das SCADA-Projekt der DGT wird von Indra entwickelt, einem spanischen Beratungskonzern aus den Bereichen Sicherheit & Militär, Energie, Transport, Telekommunikation und Gesundheitsinformation.

Das SCADA-System der Behörde umfasse auch eine Videostreaming- und Videoaufzeichnungsplattform, die das Hochladen in die Cloud in Echtzeit ermöglicht, wie Indra erklärt. Dabei gehe es um Bilder, die von Überwachungskameras an Straßen aufgenommen wurden, sowie um Videos aus DGT-Hubschraubern und Drohnen. Ziel sei es, «die sichere Weitergabe von Videos an Dritte sowie die kontinuierliche Aufzeichnung und Speicherung von Bildern zur möglichen Analyse und späteren Nutzung zu ermöglichen».

Letzteres klingt sehr nach biometrischer Erkennung und Auswertung durch künstliche Intelligenz. Für eine bessere Datenübertragung wird derzeit die Glasfaserverkabelung entlang der Landstraßen und Autobahnen ausgebaut. Mit der Cloud sind die Amazon Web Services (AWS) gemeint, die spanischen Daten gehen somit direkt zu einem US-amerikanischen «Big Data»-Unternehmen.

Das Thema «autonomes Fahren», also Fahren ohne Zutun des Menschen, bildet den Abschluss der Betrachtungen der DGT. Zusammen mit dem Interessenverband der Automobilindustrie ANFAC (Asociación Española de Fabricantes de Automóviles y Camiones) sprach man auf dem Kongress über Strategien und Perspektiven in diesem Bereich. Die Lobbyisten hoffen noch in diesem Jahr 2025 auf einen normativen Rahmen zur erweiterten Unterstützung autonomer Technologien.

Wenn man derartige Informationen im Zusammenhang betrachtet, bekommt man eine Idee davon, warum zunehmend alles elektrisch und digital werden soll. Umwelt- und Mobilitätsprobleme in Städten, wie Luftverschmutzung, Lärmbelästigung, Platzmangel oder Staus, sind eine Sache. Mit dem Argument «emissionslos» wird jedoch eine Referenz zum CO2 und dem «menschengemachten Klimawandel» hergestellt, die Emotionen triggert. Und damit wird so ziemlich alles verkauft.

Letztlich aber gilt: Je elektrischer und digitaler unsere Umgebung wird und je freigiebiger wir mit unseren Daten jeder Art sind, desto besser werden wir kontrollier-, steuer- und sogar abschaltbar. Irgendwann entscheiden KI-basierte Algorithmen, ob, wann, wie, wohin und mit wem wir uns bewegen dürfen. Über einen 15-Minuten-Radius geht dann möglicherweise nichts hinaus. Die Projekte auf diesem Weg sind ernst zu nehmen, real und schon weit fortgeschritten.

I know, I know, this is really throw together. The boot dryer/warmer is actually just balancing on there. I need to design (or have designed) something WAY simpler and just print that.

...But does it work? YES! It works like...really well!

Here's the original product:

It was on clearance at Home Depot, and I was like, "wouldn't that be more efficient if it came with a bitcoin rebate?" Anyway, anybody here do CAD design? I'm sure this would be way more efficient if I just had the tubes and not the whole box. My next step will be to gut the innards of that box, but it'd be better to just start off with something clean.

Someone asked for my thoughts, so I’ll share them thoughtfully. I’m not here to dictate how to promote Nostr—I’m still learning about it myself. While I’m not new to Nostr, freedom tech is a newer space for me. I’m skilled at advocating for topics I deeply understand, but freedom tech isn’t my expertise, so take my words with a grain of salt. Nothing I say is set in stone.

Those who need Nostr the most are the ones most vulnerable to censorship on other platforms right now. Reaching them requires real-time awareness of global issues and the dynamic relationships between governments and tech providers, which can shift suddenly. Effective Nostr promoters must grasp this and adapt quickly.

The best messengers are people from or closely tied to these at-risk regions—those who truly understand the local political and cultural dynamics. They can connect with those in need when tensions rise. Ideal promoters are rational, trustworthy, passionate about Nostr, but above all, dedicated to amplifying people’s voices when it matters most.

Forget influencers, corporate-backed figures, or traditional online PR—it comes off as inauthentic, corny, desperate and forced. Nostr’s promotion should be grassroots and organic, driven by a few passionate individuals who believe in Nostr and the communities they serve.

The idea that “people won’t join Nostr due to lack of reach” is nonsense. Everyone knows X’s “reach” is mostly with bots. If humans want real conversations, Nostr is the place. X is great for propaganda, but Nostr is for the authentic voices of the people.

Those spreading Nostr must be so passionate they’re willing to onboard others, which is time-consuming but rewarding for the right person. They’ll need to make Nostr and onboarding a core part of who they are. I see no issue with that level of dedication. I’ve been known to get that way myself at times. It’s fun for some folks.

With love, I suggest not adding Bitcoin promotion with Nostr outreach. Zaps already integrate that element naturally. (Still promote within the Bitcoin ecosystem, but this is about reaching vulnerable voices who needed Nostr yesterday.)

To promote Nostr, forget conventional strategies. “Influencers” aren’t the answer. “Influencers” are not the future. A trusted local community member has real influence—reach them. Connect with people seeking Nostr’s benefits but lacking the technical language to express it. This means some in the Nostr community might need to step outside of the Bitcoin bubble, which is uncomfortable but necessary. Thank you in advance to those who are willing to do that.

I don’t know who is paid to promote Nostr, if anyone. This piece isn’t shade. But it’s exhausting to see innocent voices globally silenced on corporate platforms like X while Nostr exists. Last night, I wondered: how many more voices must be censored before the Nostr community gets uncomfortable and thinks creatively to reach the vulnerable?

A warning: the global need for censorship-resistant social media is undeniable. If Nostr doesn’t make itself known, something else will fill that void. Let’s start this conversation.

เสียงตะโกนของ “อิทัปปัจจยตา”

ทุกอย่างตะโกนคำว่า “อิทัปปัจจยตา” อยู่ตลอดเวลา

“ท่านทั้งหลายนั่งอยู่ที่นี่ แต่ไม่ได้ยินเสียงตะโกนที่ดังลั่นไปหมดของธรรมชาติว่า ‘อิทัปปัจจยตา’ เสียงตะโกนของอิทัปปัจจยตา คือการร้องบอกร้องตะโกนว่า ‘เพราะมีสิ่งนี้เป็นปัจจัย สิ่งนี้จึงเกิดขึ้น’ หมายความว่า ท่านต้องดูลงไปที่ทุกสิ่งที่อยู่รอบตัวเราในเวลานี้ว่า ทุกสิ่งกำลังเป็นอิทัปปัจจยตา หรือเป็นไปตาม ‘กฎอิทัปปัจจยตา’”

ต้นไม้ต้นนี้มีความเป็นไปตามกฎอิทัปปัจจยตา ไม่มีอะไรมาต้านทานได้ ถ้าเราเข้าใจข้อเท็จจริงที่กำลังเป็นอยู่กับต้นไม้ เราจะเหมือนได้ยินมันตะโกนบอกว่า “อิทัปปัจจยตา” ไม่มีอะไรมากไปกว่านั้น มันเพียงบอกว่า “เมื่อมีสิ่งนี้เป็นปัจจัย สิ่งนี้จึงเกิดขึ้น”

ต้นไม้ไม่ได้หยุดเพียงเท่านั้น มันมีการเปลี่ยนแปลงเกิดขึ้นเรื่อยๆ ใบไม้ทุกใบก็บอกอย่างนั้น คงเป็นเสียงที่ดังเหลือประมาณว่า ใบไม้ทุกใบร้องตะโกนว่า “อิทัปปัจจยตา”

ผู้มีปัญญาและเข้าใจหัวใจของพระพุทธศาสนา จะไปนั่งอยู่ที่ไหนก็ได้ยินเสียงตะโกนว่า “อิทัปปัจจยตา” สนั่นหวั่นไหวไปหมด นี่พูดถึงแค่ต้นไม้ต้นเดียว ถ้าเป็นต้นไม้จำนวนมากก็เป็นเช่นเดียวกัน

เมื่อมองไปที่ก้อนหิน ก้อนหินก็เป็นเช่นเดียวกัน อนุภาคของมันเปลี่ยนแปลงอยู่ตลอดเวลา ก้อนหินที่เราเห็นอาจเกิดขึ้นมาเมื่อหลายพันล้านปีมาแล้ว จนมันแตกสลายและถูกทำให้มาอยู่ตรงนี้ มันจึงกล่าวว่า “อิทัปปัจจยตา” เพราะมีสิ่งนี้เป็นปัจจัย ฉันจึงมานั่งอยู่ที่นี่

ทุกอย่างตะโกนคำว่า “อิทัปปัจจยตา” ตลอดเวลา

• ต้นไม้ เม็ดกรวด เม็ดทราย มด แมลง สัตว์ต่างๆ รวมถึงมนุษย์เอง
• แม้แต่ร่างกายของเราเองก็ตะโกนบอกถึงอิทัปปัจจยตา

แม้เราจะเคยได้ยินคำว่า “อนิจจัง ทุกขัง อนัตตา” อาการของสิ่งเหล่านี้ยิ่งสะท้อนถึงอิทัปปัจจยตาอย่างชัดเจน

ดังนั้น เราต้องทำความเข้าใจจนซึมซาบอยู่ในใจ จนรู้สึกว่าไม่ว่าเราจะมองไปทางไหน ก็เห็นถึงภาวะของ อิทัปปัจจยตา ได้ยินเสียงของมัน หรือแม้แต่สัมผัสผ่านการดมกลิ่นและลิ้มรส

เมื่อเข้าใจสิ่งนี้ จะสามารถเรียกผู้นั้นว่า ‘เป็นพุทธบริษัทผู้เห็นธรรม’
สามารถเห็นกิเลสและทุกข์ แล้วป้องกันหรือกำจัดกิเลสและทุกข์ให้น้อยลงไปได้มากทีเดียว

อิทัปปัจจยตา: กฎอันเฉียบขาดตลอดจักรวาล

“อิทัปปัจจยตา” เป็นกฎของธรรมชาติที่ไม่อาจเปลี่ยนแปลง

คำว่า “อิทัปปัจจยตา” อาจเป็นคำที่ไม่คุ้นหู แต่ขอให้สนใจ เพราะมันเป็นกฎของธรรมชาติที่แน่นอนตลอดจักรวาลและอนันตกาล

• สิ่งนี้เกิดขึ้น เพราะมีเหตุปัจจัยนี้
• สิ่งนี้มี เพราะสิ่งนี้มี
• ดวงอาทิตย์ ดวงจันทร์ ดวงดาว ทุกอย่างล้วนเกิดขึ้นตามกฎของ “อิทัปปัจจยตา”

เมื่อทำสิ่งนี้ มันต้องเกิดสิ่งนั้นขึ้น
เมื่อทำสิ่งนี้ มันต้องเกิดทุกข์ขึ้น
เมื่อทำสิ่งนี้ มันต้องเกิดความดับทุกข์ขึ้น

นี่คือปรมัตถธรรมอันสูงสุด ไม่มีสัตว์ ไม่มีบุคคล ไม่มีพระเจ้าที่เป็นตัวตน
มีเพียง กฎอิทัปปัจจยตา ที่เป็นกฎของธรรมชาติอันเฉียบขาด

พระพุทธเจ้าตรัสรู้ ก็คือ ตรัสรู้เรื่อง “อิทัปปัจจยตา”

เรามักเรียกกันว่า “ปฏิจจสมุปบาท” ซึ่งหมายถึงเฉพาะเรื่องทุกข์ของสิ่งมีชีวิต แต่ “อิทัปปัจจยตา” กว้างขวางกว่านั้น ทุกสิ่งไม่ว่าจะมีชีวิตหรือไม่มีชีวิตล้วนตกอยู่ใต้อำนาจของกฎนี้

กฎของอิทัปปัจจยตาไม่ใช่ฝ่ายบวกหรือฝ่ายลบ
- ไม่ใช่ Positive
- ไม่ใช่ Negative
- เป็น “สายกลาง” ของมันเอง

คนเราต่างหากที่ไปบัญญัติว่า “นี่คือสุข นี่คือทุกข์ นี่คือแพ้ นี่คือชนะ”
แต่แท้จริงแล้ว ทุกอย่างเป็นไปตามอิทัปปัจจยตา

ความเข้าใจในปรมัตถธรรมต้องไปให้ถึงจุดนี้

• จนไม่มีสัตว์ ไม่มีบุคคล
• ไม่ใช่สัตว์ ไม่ใช่บุคคล
• แต่ก็ไม่ใช่ว่าไม่มีอะไรเลย และก็ไม่ได้มีสิ่งใดที่ตายตัว

ทุกอย่างเป็นเพียง กระแสของการเปลี่ยนแปลงและปรุงแต่ง

เมื่อเข้าใจถึงจุดนี้ จึงจะรู้อย่างที่พระพุทธเจ้าท่านรู้ และดับทุกข์ได้
นี่คือสิ่งสูงสุดที่ต้องเคารพ คือ กฎของ “อิทัปปัจจยตา”

Was nützt die schönste Schuldenbremse, wenn der Russe vor der Tür steht? \ Wir können uns verteidigen lernen oder alle Russisch lernen. \ Jens Spahn

In der Politik ist buchstäblich keine Idee zu riskant, kein Mittel zu schäbig und keine Lüge zu dreist, als dass sie nicht benutzt würden. Aber der Clou ist, dass diese Masche immer noch funktioniert, wenn nicht sogar immer besser. Ist das alles wirklich so schwer zu durchschauen? Mir fehlen langsam die Worte.

Aktuell werden sowohl in der Europäischen Union als auch in Deutschland riesige Milliardenpakete für die Aufrüstung – also für die Rüstungsindustrie – geschnürt. Die EU will 800 Milliarden Euro locker machen, in Deutschland sollen es 500 Milliarden «Sondervermögen» sein. Verteidigung nennen das unsere «Führer», innerhalb der Union und auch an «unserer Ostflanke», der Ukraine.

Das nötige Feindbild konnte inzwischen signifikant erweitert werden. Schuld an allem und zudem gefährlich ist nicht mehr nur Putin, sondern jetzt auch Trump. Europa müsse sich sowohl gegen Russland als auch gegen die USA schützen und rüsten, wird uns eingetrichtert.

Und während durch Diplomatie genau dieser beiden Staaten gerade endlich mal Bewegung in die Bemühungen um einen Frieden oder wenigstens einen Waffenstillstand in der Ukraine kommt, rasselt man im moralisch überlegenen Zeigefinger-Europa so richtig mit dem Säbel.

Begleitet und gestützt wird der ganze Prozess – wie sollte es anders sein – von den «Qualitätsmedien». Dass Russland einen Angriff auf «Europa» plant, weiß nicht nur der deutsche Verteidigungsminister (und mit Abstand beliebteste Politiker) Pistorius, sondern dank ihnen auch jedes Kind. Uns bleiben nur noch wenige Jahre. Zum Glück bereitet sich die Bundeswehr schon sehr konkret auf einen Krieg vor.

Die FAZ und Corona-Gesundheitsminister Spahn markieren einen traurigen Höhepunkt. Hier haben sich «politische und publizistische Verantwortungslosigkeit propagandistisch gegenseitig befruchtet», wie es bei den NachDenkSeiten heißt. Die Aussage Spahns in dem Interview, «der Russe steht vor der Tür», ist das eine. Die Zeitung verschärfte die Sache jedoch, indem sie das Zitat explizit in den Titel übernahm, der in einer ersten Version scheinbar zu harmlos war.

Eine große Mehrheit der deutschen Bevölkerung findet Aufrüstung und mehr Schulden toll, wie ARD und ZDF sehr passend ermittelt haben wollen. Ähnliches gelte für eine noch stärkere militärische Unterstützung der Ukraine. Etwas skeptischer seien die Befragten bezüglich der Entsendung von Bundeswehrsoldaten dorthin, aber immerhin etwa fifty-fifty.

Eigentlich ist jedoch die Meinung der Menschen in «unseren Demokratien» irrelevant. Sowohl in der Europäischen Union als auch in Deutschland sind die «Eliten» offenbar der Ansicht, der Souverän habe in Fragen von Krieg und Frieden sowie von aberwitzigen astronomischen Schulden kein Wörtchen mitzureden. Frau von der Leyen möchte über 150 Milliarden aus dem Gesamtpaket unter Verwendung von Artikel 122 des EU-Vertrags ohne das Europäische Parlament entscheiden – wenn auch nicht völlig kritiklos.

In Deutschland wollen CDU/CSU und SPD zur Aufweichung der «Schuldenbremse» mehrere Änderungen des Grundgesetzes durch das abgewählte Parlament peitschen. Dieser Versuch, mit dem alten Bundestag eine Zweidrittelmehrheit zu erzielen, die im neuen nicht mehr gegeben wäre, ist mindestens verfassungsrechtlich umstritten.

Das Manöver scheint aber zu funktionieren. Heute haben die Grünen zugestimmt, nachdem Kanzlerkandidat Merz läppische 100 Milliarden für «irgendwas mit Klima» zugesichert hatte. Die Abstimmung im Plenum soll am kommenden Dienstag erfolgen – nur eine Woche, bevor sich der neu gewählte Bundestag konstituieren wird.

Interessant sind die Argumente, die BlackRocker Merz für seine Attacke auf Grundgesetz und Demokratie ins Feld führt. Abgesehen von der angeblichen Eile, «unsere Verteidigungsfähigkeit deutlich zu erhöhen» (ausgelöst unter anderem durch «die Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz und die Ereignisse im Weißen Haus»), ließ uns der CDU-Chef wissen, dass Deutschland einfach auf die internationale Bühne zurück müsse. Merz schwadronierte gefährlich mehrdeutig:

«Die ganze Welt schaut in diesen Tagen und Wochen auf Deutschland. Wir haben in der Europäischen Union und auf der Welt eine Aufgabe, die weit über die Grenzen unseres eigenen Landes hinausgeht.»

«Wir brauchen eine digitale Brandmauer gegen den Faschismus», schreibt der Chaos Computer Club (CCC) auf seiner Website. Unter diesem Motto präsentierte er letzte Woche einen Forderungskatalog, mit dem sich 24 Organisationen an die kommende Bundesregierung wenden. Der Koalitionsvertrag müsse sich daran messen lassen, verlangen sie.

In den drei Kategorien «Bekenntnis gegen Überwachung», «Schutz und Sicherheit für alle» sowie «Demokratie im digitalen Raum» stellen die Unterzeichner, zu denen auch Amnesty International und Das NETTZ gehören, unter anderem die folgenden «Mindestanforderungen»:

• Verbot biometrischer Massenüberwachung des öffentlichen Raums sowie der ungezielten biometrischen Auswertung des Internets.
• Anlasslose und massenhafte Vorratsdatenspeicherung wird abgelehnt.
• Automatisierte Datenanalysen der Informationsbestände der Strafverfolgungsbehörden sowie jede Form von Predictive Policing oder automatisiertes Profiling von Menschen werden abgelehnt.
• Einführung eines Rechts auf Verschlüsselung. Die Bundesregierung soll sich dafür einsetzen, die Chatkontrolle auf europäischer Ebene zu verhindern.
• Anonyme und pseudonyme Nutzung des Internets soll geschützt und ermöglicht werden.
• Bekämpfung «privaten Machtmissbrauchs von Big-Tech-Unternehmen» durch durchsetzungsstarke, unabhängige und grundsätzlich föderale Aufsichtsstrukturen.
• Einführung eines digitalen Gewaltschutzgesetzes, unter Berücksichtigung «gruppenbezogener digitaler Gewalt» und die Förderung von Beratungsangeboten.
• Ein umfassendes Förderprogramm für digitale öffentliche Räume, die dezentral organisiert und quelloffen programmiert sind, soll aufgelegt werden.

Es sei ein Irrglaube, dass zunehmende Überwachung einen Zugewinn an Sicherheit darstelle, ist eines der Argumente der Initiatoren. Sicherheit erfordere auch, dass Menschen anonym und vertraulich kommunizieren können und ihre Privatsphäre geschützt wird.

Gesunde digitale Räume lebten auch von einem demokratischen Diskurs, lesen wir in dem Papier. Es sei Aufgabe des Staates, Grundrechte zu schützen. Dazu gehöre auch, Menschenrechte und demokratische Werte, insbesondere Freiheit, Gleichheit und Solidarität zu fördern sowie den Missbrauch von Maßnahmen, Befugnissen und Infrastrukturen durch «die Feinde der Demokratie» zu verhindern.

Man ist geneigt zu fragen, wo denn die Autoren «den Faschismus» sehen, den es zu bekämpfen gelte. Die meisten der vorgetragenen Forderungen und Argumente finden sicher breite Unterstützung, denn sie beschreiben offenkundig gängige, kritikwürdige Praxis. Die Aushebelung der Privatsphäre, der Redefreiheit und anderer Grundrechte im Namen der Sicherheit wird bereits jetzt massiv durch die aktuellen «demokratischen Institutionen» und ihre «durchsetzungsstarken Aufsichtsstrukturen» betrieben.

Ist «der Faschismus» also die EU und ihre Mitgliedsstaaten? Nein, die «faschistische Gefahr», gegen die man eine digitale Brandmauer will, kommt nach Ansicht des CCC und seiner Partner aus den Vereinigten Staaten. Private Überwachung und Machtkonzentration sind dabei weltweit schon lange Realität, jetzt endlich müssen sie jedoch bekämpft werden. In dem Papier heißt es:

«Die willkürliche und antidemokratische Machtausübung der Tech-Oligarchen um Präsident Trump erfordert einen Paradigmenwechsel in der deutschen Digitalpolitik. (...) Die aktuellen Geschehnisse in den USA zeigen auf, wie Datensammlungen und -analyse genutzt werden können, um einen Staat handstreichartig zu übernehmen, seine Strukturen nachhaltig zu beschädigen, Widerstand zu unterbinden und marginalisierte Gruppen zu verfolgen.»

Wer auf der anderen Seite dieser Brandmauer stehen soll, ist also klar. Es sind die gleichen «Feinde unserer Demokratie», die seit Jahren in diese Ecke gedrängt werden. Es sind die gleichen Andersdenkenden, Regierungskritiker und Friedensforderer, die unter dem großzügigen Dach des Bundesprogramms «Demokratie leben» einem «kontinuierlichen Echt- und Langzeitmonitoring» wegen der Etikettierung «digitaler Hass» unterzogen werden.

Dass die 24 Organisationen praktisch auch die Bekämpfung von Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon und anderen fordern, entbehrt nicht der Komik. Diese fallen aber sicher unter das Stichwort «Machtmissbrauch von Big-Tech-Unternehmen». Gleichzeitig verlangen die Lobbyisten implizit zum Beispiel die Förderung des Nostr-Netzwerks, denn hier finden wir dezentral organisierte und quelloffen programmierte digitale Räume par excellence, obendrein zensurresistent. Das wiederum dürfte in der Politik weniger gut ankommen.

Die «Eliten» führen bereits groß angelegte Pilotprojekte für eine Zukunft durch, die sie wollen und wir nicht. Das schreibt der OffGuardian in einem Update zum Thema «EU-Brieftasche für die digitale Identität». Das Portal weist darauf hin, dass die Akteure dabei nicht gerade zimperlich vorgehen und auch keinen Hehl aus ihren Absichten machen. Transition News hat mehrfach darüber berichtet, zuletzt hier und hier.

Mit der EU Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI-Brieftasche) sei eine einzige von der Regierung herausgegebene App geplant, die Ihre medizinischen Daten, Beschäftigungsdaten, Reisedaten, Bildungsdaten, Impfdaten, Steuerdaten, Finanzdaten sowie (potenziell) Kopien Ihrer Unterschrift, Fingerabdrücke, Gesichtsscans, Stimmproben und DNA enthält. So fasst der OffGuardian die eindrucksvolle Liste möglicher Einsatzbereiche zusammen.

Auch Dokumente wie der Personalausweis oder der Führerschein können dort in elektronischer Form gespeichert werden. Bis 2026 sind alle EU-Mitgliedstaaten dazu verpflichtet, Ihren Bürgern funktionierende und frei verfügbare digitale «Brieftaschen» bereitzustellen.

Die Menschen würden diese App nutzen, so das Portal, um Zahlungen vorzunehmen, Kredite zu beantragen, ihre Steuern zu zahlen, ihre Rezepte abzuholen, internationale Grenzen zu überschreiten, Unternehmen zu gründen, Arzttermine zu buchen, sich um Stellen zu bewerben und sogar digitale Verträge online zu unterzeichnen.

All diese Daten würden auf ihrem Mobiltelefon gespeichert und mit den Regierungen von neunzehn Ländern (plus der Ukraine) sowie über 140 anderen öffentlichen und privaten Partnern ausgetauscht. Von der Deutschen Bank über das ukrainische Ministerium für digitalen Fortschritt bis hin zu Samsung Europe. Unternehmen und Behörden würden auf diese Daten im Backend zugreifen, um «automatisierte Hintergrundprüfungen» durchzuführen.

Der Bundesverband der Verbraucherzentralen und Verbraucherverbände (VZBV) habe Bedenken geäußert, dass eine solche App «Risiken für den Schutz der Privatsphäre und der Daten» berge, berichtet das Portal. Die einzige Antwort darauf laute: «Richtig, genau dafür ist sie ja da!»

Das alles sei keine Hypothese, betont der OffGuardian. Es sei vielmehr «Potential». Damit ist ein EU-Projekt gemeint, in dessen Rahmen Dutzende öffentliche und private Einrichtungen zusammenarbeiten, «um eine einheitliche Vision der digitalen Identität für die Bürger der europäischen Länder zu definieren». Dies ist nur eines der groß angelegten Pilotprojekte, mit denen Prototypen und Anwendungsfälle für die EUDI-Wallet getestet werden. Es gibt noch mindestens drei weitere.

Den Ball der digitalen ID-Systeme habe die Covid-«Pandemie» über die «Impfpässe» ins Rollen gebracht. Seitdem habe das Thema an Schwung verloren. Je näher wir aber der vollständigen Einführung der EUid kämen, desto mehr Propaganda der Art «Warum wir eine digitale Brieftasche brauchen» könnten wir in den Mainstream-Medien erwarten, prognostiziert der OffGuardian. Vielleicht müssten wir schon nach dem nächsten großen «Grund», dem nächsten «katastrophalen katalytischen Ereignis» Ausschau halten. Vermutlich gebe es bereits Pläne, warum die Menschen plötzlich eine digitale ID-Brieftasche brauchen würden.

Die Entwicklung geht jedenfalls stetig weiter in genau diese Richtung. Beispielsweise hat Jordanien angekündigt, die digitale biometrische ID bei den nächsten Wahlen zur Verifizierung der Wähler einzuführen. Man wolle «den Papierkrieg beenden und sicherstellen, dass die gesamte Kette bis zu den nächsten Parlamentswahlen digitalisiert wird», heißt es. Absehbar ist, dass dabei einige Wahlberechtigte «auf der Strecke bleiben» werden, wie im Fall von Albanien geschehen.

Derweil würden die Briten gerne ihre Privatsphäre gegen Effizienz eintauschen, behauptet Tony Blair. Der Ex-Premier drängte kürzlich erneut auf digitale Identitäten und Gesichtserkennung. Blair ist Gründer einer Denkfabrik für globalen Wandel, Anhänger globalistischer Technokratie und «moderner Infrastruktur».

Abschließend warnt der OffGuardian vor der Illusion, Trump und Musk würden den US-Bürgern «diesen Schlamassel ersparen». Das Department of Government Efficiency werde sich auf die digitale Identität stürzen. Was könne schließlich «effizienter» sein als eine einzige App, die für alles verwendet wird? Der Unterschied bestehe nur darin, dass die US-Version vielleicht eher privat als öffentlich sei – sofern es da überhaupt noch einen wirklichen Unterschied gebe.

The Dhamma of the Buddha is not merely a concept or philosophical hypothesis. It is the direct seeing of the truth — that suffering truly exists within us, and that it can genuinely be ended — through observing, with wisdom, not by calculation or blind belief.

Suffering is not an abstract idea; it is a real experience we can feel. When we truly understand suffering by facing it directly — not running from it or deceiving ourselves — we will see that the sense of “self” is the root of suffering. Every time the feeling of “this is me, this is mine” arises — suffering follows.

The solution is not in argument or debate, but in taking action to see and know this truth for ourselves.

Thus, Dhamma is the science of the mind — not just a philosophy. And this is why the Buddha’s teachings have never become outdated, even after more than 2,500 years.

Ständige Lügen und Unterstellungen, permanent falsche Fürsorge \ können Bausteine von emotionaler Manipulation sein. Mit dem Zweck, \ Macht und Kontrolle über eine andere Person auszuüben. \ Apotheken Umschau

Irgendetwas muss passiert sein: «Gaslighting» ist gerade Thema in vielen Medien. Heute bin ich nach längerer Zeit mal wieder über dieses Stichwort gestolpert. Das war in einem Artikel von Norbert Häring über Manipulationen des Deutschen Wetterdienstes (DWD). In diesem Fall ging es um eine Pressemitteilung vom Donnerstag zum «viel zu warmen» Winter 2024/25.

Häring wirft der Behörde vor, dreist zu lügen und Dinge auszulassen, um die Klimaangst wach zu halten. Was der Leser beim DWD nicht erfahre, sei, dass dieser Winter kälter als die drei vorangegangenen und kälter als der Durchschnitt der letzten zehn Jahre gewesen sei. Stattdessen werde der falsche Eindruck vermittelt, es würde ungebremst immer wärmer.

Wem also der zu Ende gehende Winter eher kalt vorgekommen sein sollte, mit dessen Empfinden stimme wohl etwas nicht. Das jedenfalls wolle der DWD uns einreden, so der Wirtschaftsjournalist. Und damit sind wir beim Thema Gaslighting.

Als Gaslighting wird eine Form psychischer Manipulation bezeichnet, mit der die Opfer desorientiert und zutiefst verunsichert werden, indem ihre eigene Wahrnehmung als falsch bezeichnet wird. Der Prozess führt zu Angst und Realitätsverzerrung sowie zur Zerstörung des Selbstbewusstseins. Die Bezeichnung kommt von dem britischen Theaterstück «Gas Light» aus dem Jahr 1938, in dem ein Mann mit grausamen Psychotricks seine Frau in den Wahnsinn treibt.

Damit Gaslighting funktioniert, muss das Opfer dem Täter vertrauen. Oft wird solcher Psychoterror daher im privaten oder familiären Umfeld beschrieben, ebenso wie am Arbeitsplatz. Jedoch eignen sich die Prinzipien auch perfekt zur Manipulation der Massen. Vermeintliche Autoritäten wie Ärzte und Wissenschaftler, oder «der fürsorgliche Staat» und Institutionen wie die UNO oder die WHO wollen uns doch nichts Böses. Auch Staatsmedien, Faktenchecker und diverse NGOs wurden zu «vertrauenswürdigen Quellen» erklärt. Das hat seine Wirkung.

Warum das Thema Gaslighting derzeit scheinbar so populär ist, vermag ich nicht zu sagen. Es sind aber gerade in den letzten Tagen und Wochen auffällig viele Artikel dazu erschienen, und zwar nicht nur von Psychologen. Die Frankfurter Rundschau hat gleich mehrere publiziert, und Anwälte interessieren sich dafür offenbar genauso wie Apotheker.

Die Apotheken Umschau machte sogar auf «Medical Gaslighting» aufmerksam. Davon spreche man, wenn Mediziner Symptome nicht ernst nähmen oder wenn ein gesundheitliches Problem vom behandelnden Arzt «schnöde heruntergespielt» oder abgetan würde. Kommt Ihnen das auch irgendwie bekannt vor? Der Begriff sei allerdings irreführend, da er eine manipulierende Absicht unterstellt, die «nicht gewährleistet» sei.

Apropos Gaslighting: Die noch amtierende deutsche Bundesregierung meldete heute, es gelte, «weiter [sic!] gemeinsam daran zu arbeiten, einen gerechten und dauerhaften Frieden für die Ukraine zu erreichen». Die Ukraine, wo sich am Montag «der völkerrechtswidrige Angriffskrieg zum dritten Mal jährte», verteidige ihr Land und «unsere gemeinsamen Werte».

Merken Sie etwas? Das Demokratieverständnis mag ja tatsächlich inzwischen in beiden Ländern ähnlich traurig sein. Bezüglich Friedensbemühungen ist meine Wahrnehmung jedoch eine andere. Das muss an meinem Gedächtnis liegen.

True freedom is not only physical or financial—it also exists within the mind. Mental freedom is the ability to think clearly, make decisions without fear or doubt, and live without the constraints of limiting beliefs. It is the power to embrace your thoughts, control your emotions, and act with purpose.

What Is Mental Freedom?

Mental freedom is the state of mind where you are not held back by fear, anxiety, or self-doubt. It means breaking free from the mental barriers that keep you from living life to the fullest. When you achieve mental freedom, you are able to pursue your dreams with confidence, respond to challenges with resilience, and find peace in the present moment.

Steps to Achieving Mental Freedom

1. Identify Limiting Beliefs: Understand the thoughts that hold you back and challenge their validity.

2. Practice Mindfulness: Be present in the moment and aware of your thoughts and feelings without judgment.

3. Let Go of Perfectionism: Accept that mistakes are part of growth and learning.

4. Cultivate Positive Thinking: Focus on possibilities and solutions rather than obstacles.

5. Build Resilience: Strengthen your mental capacity to recover from setbacks.

The Importance of Mental Freedom

Achieving mental freedom allows you to live authentically and pursue your goals without hesitation. It empowers you to face challenges head-on, embrace change, and navigate life with confidence and clarity. Without mental freedom, fear and doubt can cloud your judgment and limit your potential.

Breaking Free

Mental freedom is a journey, not a destination. It requires ongoing self-awareness, self-acceptance, and growth. By taking deliberate steps to free your mind from limiting thoughts, you open the door to endless possibilities.

The second round of the NBA Playoffs is historically weird. We'll try to figure out what's going wrong for all three of the presumed contenders. Which of the other East teams need to be considered contenders now? With how bad the Warriors look without Steph (just how underrated is he?), do the Warriors still have any chance?

In Blok'd Shots, we'll talk about the NHL Star who got traded midseason and then beat his former team in the playoffs.

There was a big trade in the NFL. Plus, @grayruby wants to start a media beef with Colin Cowherd.

The MLB introduced a new stat. I have no idea what it is, but I'm looking forward to trying to understand it live on air.

And, of course, lots of contest and betting updates.

What do you want us to talk about?
