2025-05-16 17:12:05One of the most common criticisms leveled against nostr is the perceived lack of assurance when it comes to data storage. Critics argue that without a centralized authority guaranteeing that all data is preserved, important information will be lost. They also claim that running a relay will become prohibitively expensive. While there is truth to these concerns, they miss the mark. The genius of nostr lies in its flexibility, resilience, and the way it harnesses human incentives to ensure data availability in practice.
A nostr relay is simply a server that holds cryptographically verifiable signed data and makes it available to others. Relays are simple, flexible, open, and require no permission to run. Critics are right that operating a relay attempting to store all nostr data will be costly. What they miss is that most will not run all encompassing archive relays. Nostr does not rely on massive archive relays. Instead, anyone can run a relay and choose to store whatever subset of data they want. This keeps costs low and operations flexible, making relay operation accessible to all sorts of individuals and entities with varying use cases.
Critics are correct that there is no ironclad guarantee that every piece of data will always be available. Unlike bitcoin where data permanence is baked into the system at a steep cost, nostr does not promise that every random note or meme will be preserved forever. That said, in practice, any data perceived as valuable by someone will likely be stored and distributed by multiple entities. If something matters to someone, they will keep a signed copy.
Nostr is the Streisand Effect in protocol form. The Streisand effect is when an attempt to suppress information backfires, causing it to spread even further. With nostr, anyone can broadcast signed data, anyone can store it, and anyone can distribute it. Try to censor something important? Good luck. The moment it catches attention, it will be stored on relays across the globe, copied, and shared by those who find it worth keeping. Data deemed important will be replicated across servers by individuals acting in their own interest.
Nostr’s distributed nature ensures that the system does not rely on a single point of failure or a corporate overlord. Instead, it leans on the collective will of its users. The result is a network where costs stay manageable, participation is open to all, and valuable verifiable data is stored and distributed forever.

You Are Not A Gadget by Jaron Lanier
Reading Jaron Lanier’s 2010 You Are Not A Gadget in 2023 is an interesting experience—equal parts withering, prophetic, and heretical clarion call warning from a high priest of the Technocracy and rambling, musing, cognitive jam session from a technofied musician-philosopher.
Yet, in ways that I think the author would be simultaneously pleased, amused, saddened, and disturbed by, the 13 yeas since the book’s publishing have, in places, proven him right with stunning foresight and precision, and in others, made his ideas appear laughable, bizarre, even naive. The book is written in five parts, yet I would suggest viewing it as two discrete elements—Part One (around the first half of the book) and…everything else.
For context, Lanier, is a computer scientist and early technologist from the area of Jobs, Wozniak, and Gates, and is considered to be a founding father of virtual reality. He is also a consummate contrarian, a player of rare and obscure musical instruments, a deep interdisciplinary thinker…and a white man with dreadlocks named Jaron.
PART ONE
Part One of the book “What is a Person?” reads like a scathing and clear-eye manifesto—where Lanier is batting 1000, merciless in his rightness. Were one to pull a passage that speaks to the soul of this portion of the book, it might be the following: “The net does not design itself. We design it.”
Lanier terms the prevailing technocratic ideology—the particular winning tech-nerd subculture that has now come to capture our society—as “the cybernetic totalist” or “digital Maoists.” Essentially a materialist and stealth collectivist movement in new-age technocratic dress, that through its successes, and now excesses, represents much the same of religion that it’s founders would have claimed to be “evolving past.”
Lanier points out that in this, we are simply trading the pursuit of finding God in spirituality or the afterlife, for a notion of digital immortality—seeking, or, if possible, becoming, God in the cloud. He aptly identifies that this worldview requires that society, and all human interactions really, be savagely bent into adherence to this new religion of aggregation that demands deification of data, gross diminishment of the individual, and belief in some objective (but never defined) "meaning" that exists beyond and apart from the human observer.
With skill and simple wit, he raises strong, rational counterpoint to the digital Maoists’ obsession with quantity, data in aggregate and at-scale, as society's prime directive “A fashionable idea in technical circles is that quantity […] turns into quality at some extreme scale […] I disagree. A trope in the early days or computer science comes to mind: garbage in, garbage out.”
Lanier is able to envision the digital cages that likes of Facebook, Youtube, social-media dating apps would become for the internet native generations. Of whom he writes “The most effective young Facebook users […] are the ones who create successful online fictions about themselves,” and “If you start out by being fake, you’ll eventually have to put in twice the effort to undo the illusion if anything good is to come of it.”
Lanier’s 2010 criticism of Wikipedia-ism is now double or triply apropos in our current hype cycle of “AI magic” and Everything-GPT, “Wikipedia, for instance, works on what I can the Oracle Illusion, in which knowledge of human authorship of a text is suppressed in order to give the text superhuman validity. Traditional holy books work in precisely the same way and present many of the same problems.” This same deep truth now sits at the heart of every “new” creation churned out by the flavor-of-the-week, plagiarism-at-scale, generative AI tool.
More darkly, he is also able to foresee the spectre of a return to collectivism lurking both at the core and on the margins of our new digital age—“The recipe that led to social catastrophe in the past was economic humiliation combined with collectivist ideology. We already have the ideology in its new digital packaging, and it’s entirely possible we could face dangerously traumatic economic shock in the coming decades.”—“No Shit” said everyone who lived through 2020-2022…
This brings us, eerily, to the world of today. Where aggregate insights are upheld as more valuable than discrete insights. Where crowds are are assumed to have more wisdom than individuals. Where truth is twisted into a might-is-right numbers game. A world ruled by the idea that if we can just centralize enough information and sufficiently pulverize authorship, the result will, necessarily, be something super-intelligent, "alive," and perhaps even divine.
In short, the cybernetic totalists and digital Maoists, having killed reason, now sit on its corpse like a thrown, smearing its blood on the walls in the name of art and reading its still-steaming entrails for prophecy.
If I were to infer some ideological takeaway from Part One of the book, it might be that Lanier seems to axiomatically reject any affirmative implication of the Turing Test. Simply put, he believes that bits are not and cannot ever be alive independent of the human-as-oracle. Further, there is no objective meaning beyond the human observer—in fact, that observer fundamentally creates any meaning there is to be had. This is best illustrated by one of the most powerful passages in the book:
“But the Turing Test cuts both ways. You can’t tell if a machine has gotten smarter or if you’ve just lowered your own standard of intelligence to such a degree that the machine seems smart. If you can have a conversation with a simulated person presented by an AI program, can you tell how far you’ve let your sense of personhood degrade in order to make the illusion work for you?”
Ponder this well, Anon.
EVERYTHING ELSE
With all of the great stuff above out of the way, we must turn to…the rest of the book. Parts Two through Five breakdown into something more like a stream of consciousness. And while there are certainly many nuggets to insight and beauty to be found, the book becomes largely dis-coherent and very difficult to read. That said, the remainder of the book does contain three particularly compelling threads that I find to be worth pulling on.
Internet Attribution First, are Lanier’s musing about money and attribution in our authorless “information wants to be free” world. He laments the infinite elevation of advertising and offers harsh critique to the concept of attention as the new currency—as this tends to overwhelmingly reward the aggregator and a piddling few soulless super-influencers at the expense of all other users and creators.
Interestingly, under the guise of “what could have been” he imagines a world where attribution is tracked across the web (though how this achieved is left unanswered) and royalty payments can flow back to the author seamlessly over the internet. I find his vision to be intriguing because in 2010, we lacked the technology to either track attribution across the web or facilitate seamless micropayment royalties based on access / usage.
While we still don't have the ability to achieve the type of fully-tracked, always-on attribution Lanier imagines, we do now have the ability to stream payments across the internet with bitcoin and the lightning network. While Lanier can be excused for not mentioning the then uber-nascent bitcoin in 2010, bitcoin’s development since only goes to underscore the prescience of Lanier’s imagination.
The bigger question that now remains, especially in the face of the advent of “AI,” is whether such a system to manage and therefore enforce attribution globally on the internet would even be a good thing. Where obscured attribution enables mashed-up plagiarism-at-scale, centrally enforced attribution can just as easily enable idea, content, discovery, and innovation suppression-at-scale.
Music in the New Age Second, much of the book, particularly in the second half, is filtered through the lens and language of music. Music is essential to Lanier’s inner life and it is clear that he views music as an emergent mystery force attributable to something unknowable, if not divine, and entirely unique to the human experience.
He bemoans the music of the 2000s as lacking in any distinct chronological era sound—everything is either a rehashed mashup or digitally lofi-ed emulation of sounds from previous begone eras—it is music that is impossible to place. To him, it is as though musical evolution stopped right around the time of the advent of the internet…and then folded back in on itself, creating an endless kaleidoscoping of what came before but rarely, if ever, the creation anything truly new.
In response, Lanier goes so far as to imagine the ridiculous (my take, not his) world of “Songles”—songs on dongles—essentially physical music NFTs. In Songleland, listening to the hottest tracks at a party hinges on the guy or gal with the dankest songles swinging through and plugging them into the Songle player. And songles, being scarce, even become speculative investments. On this, Lanier manages to be both right and wrong in only the most spectacularly absurd of ways.
But what Lanier really laments is the passing of popular music as a shared cultural experience at national or even global scale. During Lanier’s coming of age through the 1960-80s—with only a few consolidated channels for music distribution, it was truly impossible to escape the sounds and influence of the Beatles or Prince or Micheal Jackson—everyone heard it and even the deaf still felt it.
In the end, Lanier could image Songles but he couldn’t envision what Spotify would become—a conduit to shatter music distribution into a myriad of tiny longtails—providing infinitely fragmented and individually fine-tuned music experiences rather than large and cohesive cultural moments. However, even in this miss, Lanier is largely able to project what Spotify-ed music would resolve to—music designed as much or more to please the self-referential selection algorithm than any real, human listeners. A dangerously foretelling insight that goes well beyond music as AI tools are posed to become the "googling" of the next technological cycle—what happens to information, to human thought, when the majority of "generative AI" outputs are just the machine referencing itself?
Digital Neoteny The final thread to pull is that of "digital neoteny," the retention of juvenile behaviors in adult form, in this case, a neoteny of the mind if you will. Lanier sees the internet as specifically primed to propagate three kinds of neoteny in digital-native humans— a blissful and curious Bachelardian neoteny (as in Gaston Bachelard’s Poetics of Reverie); a cruel and mob-like Goldingesque neoteny (as in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies); and a general and deeply pervasive, infantile neoteny.
Neoteny of the Bachelardian variety, which Lanier likens to “the sense of wonder and weirdness that a teen can find in the unfolding world,” is what he feels the internet has provided in a few brief and magical moments generally aligned with the “early days” of successive internet technologies, movements, and companies—through this generally degrades into Goldingesque neoteny as novelty gives way to ossification.
Lanier’s missives on Bachelardian neoteny feel especially pertinent to the present state of Nostr (where I am publishing this writing). Nostr is in a moment where winner-take all dynamics and corporatization have yet to take hold. Child-like revelry abounds with each new discovery or novel Nostr client development so much so that the likes of Jack Dorsey compare it to the excitement of the early internet.
But with time, if and as the Nostr protocol wins, to what extent will technical lock-in take hold here? To what extent will calcification of seemingly trivial or even comical decisions being made by client devs today have dramatic implications on the feasibility of other development in the future? And will we early Nostr users, at some point put down welcoming inclusivesness for insular tribalism—and in what ways might we be doing this already?
Finally, to the third kind of neoteny, Infantile neoteny—which perhaps incapsulates the internet even more so than either of the other two types—Lanier sees the net driving an evermore prolonged deferral of maturity, resulting ultimately in some centrally-managed permanent arresting of society in a stupefied and juvenile mental state:
“Some of the greatest speculative investments in human history continue to converge on Silicon Valley schemes that seemed to have been named by Dr. Seuss. On any given day, one might hear of tens or hundreds of millions of dollars flowing to a start-up company named Ublibudly or MeTickly. These are names I just made up, but they would make great venture capital bait if they existed. At these companies one finds rooms full of MIT PhD engineers not seeking cancer cures or sources of safe drinking water for the underdeveloped world but schemes to send little digital pictures of teddy bears and dragons between adult members of social networks. At the end of the road of the pursuit of technological sophistication appears to lie a playhouse in which humankind regresses to nursery school.”
The popular culture of the early 2020s—with it’s NFT Monke JPEGs, silent and masked TikTok dancing in the drab aisles of crumbling department stores, and rampant peer-pressured social-media virtue-signaling and paternalism—could scarcely be described in any more stark and specific detail. That such could be seen so vividly in 2010 is as masterful as it is dishearteningly dark.
CONCLUSION
You Are Not A Gadget is a special thing, a strange beast—as lucid in its first half as it is jumbled, meandering, and even nonsensical in its second half. And while the discerning reader might judge the book harshly for these structural failings, I doubt the author would care, he might even welcome it. Lanier’s apparent purpose in writing is to share his mind rather than please the reader in any particular regard. The sufficiently curious reader, one who is willing to engage with the book’s content, for whatever the book’s faults may be, finds a king’s randoms of wisdom, insight, and uncanny foresight.
In closing, it seems fitting to recall one of Lanier’s earliest warnings in the book, “Maybe if people pretend they are not conscious or do not have free will […] then perhaps we have the power to make it so. We might be able to collectively achieve antimagic.” 13 years on, this feels more pressing and urgent and true than ever. (Rating: 4/5🐙)

2025-05-09 19:50:20Wer sein eigenes Geld abheben möchte, macht sich heute – in Spanien - verdächtig. Wer dort eine größere Geldmenge des eigenen Vermögens abzuheben gedenkt, muss das von nun an Tage zuvor anmelden. Diese neue Regelung lässt sich auch nicht dadurch umgehen, dass man mehrere kleine Einzelbeiträge abhebt. Und die, die die neue Regelung missachten, werden empfindlich bestraft. So gerät jeder, der zu häufig Bares abhebt, in das Visier der Behörden.

Was sich in Spanien an Bankautomaten und -schaltern eingeschlichen hat, könnte sich seinen Weg auch nach Deutschland bahnen. In Frankreich, so zeigt die persönliche Erfahrung, variiert die zu erzielende Geldmenge am Automaten unter noch ungeklärten Bedingungen von Tag zu Tag, von Konto zu Konto. Der Automat gibt vor, ob gerade beispielsweise 60, 200 oder 400 Euro abgehoben werden dürfen.

2025-05-09 19:39:46"Kleines Erste-Hilfe-Büchlein gegen Propaganda" von 2023. „Normalerweise hört man das Wort „Propaganda“ im Mainstream-Diskurs nur, wenn es um Dinge geht, die andere Länder ihren eigenen Bürgern antun oder Teil ausländischer Beeinflussungsoperationen sind, obwohl in der überwältigenden Mehrheit der Fälle, in denen wir in unserem täglichen Leben Propaganda erlebt haben, der Anruf aus dem eigenen Haus kam.“
https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/helge-buttkereit-medienkritik-als-trotziger-idealismus?
In der Folge dokumentiert sie einige gravierende Beispiele aus den US-Medien. Auch in Deutschland fehlt es den Massenmedien an der nötigen Distanz zur Regierung und ihrem Werte-Narrativ. Was umso gefährlicher ist, da sie über „Definitionsmacht“ verfügen. Auch wenn wir selbst diese Medien nicht konsumieren, so können wir doch sicher sein, dass die große Mehrheit der Bürger sie konsultiert und damit deren Sicht auf die Welt massiv beeinflusst wird. „Wenn wir die Tagesschau einschalten, erfahren wir nichts über die ‘Wirklichkeit’. Wir lernen vielmehr, wer es geschafft hat, seine Sicht auf die Wirklichkeit in die Propaganda-Matrix einzuschreiben“, verrät der Medienwissenschaftler Michael Meyen in seinem Buch "Die Propaganda-Matrix". Nun gilt jedoch die Presse in der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung als „Vierte Gewalt“ der Demokratie. Ihre Aufgabe wäre es demnach, die zunehmend verflochtenen Staatsgewalten Legislative, Exekutive und Judikative zu kontrollieren. Die Realität sieht anders aus. Dabei übersieht selbst die immer häufiger auftretende Medienkritik, dass die „Vierte Gewalt“ von den Herrschenden nie in dieser Funktion gedacht war – schließlich waren und sind die Medien seit je her in den Händen von Regierungen und Konzernen, schreibt unser Autor Helge Buttkereit.

2025-05-06 14:05:40If you're an engineer stepping into the Bitcoin space from the broader crypto ecosystem, you're probably carrying a mental model shaped by speed, flexibility, and rapid innovation. That makes sense—most blockchain platforms pride themselves on throughput, programmability, and dev agility.
But Bitcoin operates from a different set of first principles. It’s not competing to be the fastest network or the most expressive smart contract platform. It’s aiming to be the most credible, neutral, and globally accessible value layer in human history.
Here’s why that matters—and why Bitcoin is not just an alternative crypto asset, but a structural necessity in the global financial system.
1. Bitcoin Fixes the Triffin Dilemma—Not With Policy, But Protocol
The Triffin Dilemma shows us that any country issuing the global reserve currency must run persistent deficits to supply that currency to the world. That’s not a flaw of bad leadership—it’s an inherent contradiction. The U.S. must debase its own monetary integrity to meet global dollar demand. That’s a self-terminating system.
Bitcoin sidesteps this entirely by being:
- Non-sovereign – no single nation owns it
- Hard-capped – no central authority can inflate it
- Verifiable and neutral – anyone with a full node can enforce the rules
In other words, Bitcoin turns global liquidity into an engineering problem, not a political one. No other system, fiat or crypto, has achieved that.
2. Bitcoin’s “Ossification” Is Intentional—and It's a Feature
From the outside, Bitcoin development may look sluggish. Features are slow to roll out. Code changes are conservative. Consensus rules are treated as sacred.
That’s the point.
When you’re building the global monetary base layer, stability is not a weakness. It’s a prerequisite. Every other financial instrument, app, or protocol that builds on Bitcoin depends on one thing: assurance that the base layer won’t change underneath them without extreme scrutiny.
So-called “ossification” is just another term for predictability and integrity. And when the market does demand change (SegWit, Taproot), Bitcoin’s soft-fork governance process has proven capable of deploying it safely—without coercive central control.
3. Layered Architecture: Throughput Is Not a Base Layer Concern
You don’t scale settlement at the base layer. You build layered systems. Just as TCP/IP doesn't need to carry YouTube traffic directly, Bitcoin doesn’t need to process every microtransaction.
Instead, it anchors:
- Lightning (fast payments)
- Fedimint (community custody)
- Ark (privacy + UTXO compression)
- Statechains, sidechains, and covenants (coming evolution)
All of these inherit Bitcoin’s security and scarcity, while handling volume off-chain, in ways that maintain auditability and self-custody.
4. Universal Assayability Requires Minimalism at the Base Layer
A core design constraint of Bitcoin is that any participant, anywhere in the world, must be able to independently verify the validity of every transaction and block—past and present—without needing permission or relying on third parties.
This property is called assayability—the ability to “test” or verify the authenticity and integrity of received bitcoin, much like verifying the weight and purity of a gold coin.
To preserve this:
- The base layer must remain resource-light, so running a full node stays accessible on commodity hardware.
- Block sizes must remain small enough to prevent centralization of verification.
- Historical data must remain consistent and tamper-evident, enabling proof chains across time and jurisdiction.
Any base layer that scales by increasing throughput or complexity undermines this fundamental guarantee, making the network more dependent on trust and surveillance infrastructure.
Bitcoin prioritizes global verifiability over throughput—because trustless money requires that every user can check the money they receive.
5. Governance: Not Captured, Just Resistant to Coercion
The current controversy around
OP_RETURN
and proposals to limit inscriptions is instructive. Some prominent devs have advocated for changes to block content filtering. Others see it as overreach.Here's what matters:
- No single dev, or team, can force changes into the network. Period.
- Bitcoin Core is not “the source of truth.” It’s one implementation. If it deviates from market consensus, it gets forked, sidelined, or replaced.
- The economic majority—miners, users, businesses—enforce Bitcoin’s rules, not GitHub maintainers.
In fact, recent community resistance to perceived Core overreach only reinforces Bitcoin’s resilience. Engineers who posture with narcissistic certainty, dismiss dissent, or attempt to capture influence are routinely neutralized by the market’s refusal to upgrade or adopt forks that undermine neutrality or openness.
This is governance via credible neutrality and negative feedback loops. Power doesn’t accumulate in one place. It’s constantly checked by the network’s distributed incentives.
6. Bitcoin Is Still in Its Infancy—And That’s a Good Thing
You’re not too late. The ecosystem around Bitcoin—especially L2 protocols, privacy tools, custody innovation, and zero-knowledge integrations—is just beginning.
If you're an engineer looking for:
- Systems with global scale constraints
- Architectures that optimize for integrity, not speed
- Consensus mechanisms that resist coercion
- A base layer with predictable monetary policy
Then Bitcoin is where serious systems engineers go when they’ve outgrown crypto theater.
Take-away
Under realistic, market-aware assumptions—where:
- Bitcoin’s ossification is seen as a stability feature, not inertia,
- Market forces can and do demand and implement change via tested, non-coercive mechanisms,
- Proof-of-work is recognized as the only consensus mechanism resistant to fiat capture,
- Wealth concentration is understood as a temporary distribution effect during early monetization,
- Low base layer throughput is a deliberate design constraint to preserve verifiability and neutrality,
- And innovation is layered by design, with the base chain providing integrity, not complexity...
Then Bitcoin is not a fragile or inflexible system—it is a deliberately minimal, modular, and resilient protocol.
Its governance is not leaderless chaos; it's a negative-feedback structure that minimizes the power of individuals or institutions to coerce change. The very fact that proposals—like controversial OP_RETURN restrictions—can be resisted, forked around, or ignored by the market without breaking the system is proof of decentralized control, not dysfunction.
Bitcoin is an adversarially robust monetary foundation. Its value lies not in how fast it changes, but in how reliably it doesn't—unless change is forced by real, bottom-up demand and implemented through consensus-tested soft forks.
In this framing, Bitcoin isn't a slower crypto. It's the engineering benchmark for systems that must endure, not entertain.
Final Word
Bitcoin isn’t moving slowly because it’s dying. It’s moving carefully because it’s winning. It’s not an app platform or a sandbox. It’s a protocol layer for the future of money.
If you're here because you want to help build that future, you’re in the right place.

2025-05-06 01:37:28I 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:
- Users specify which media server(s) they use via their public Blossom settings published on Nostr;
- All files are uniquely addressable via hashes;
- 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:
- 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.
- File hosting redundancy. Having multiple live copies of referenced media files (via Blossom mirroring) greatly increases the resiliency of media content published on Nostr.
- Censorship resistance. Blossom enables us to seamlessly switch media hosting providers in case of censorship.
Thanks for reading; and enjoy! 🌸

2025-05-05 14:25:28Introduction: The Power of Fiction and the Shaping of Collective Morality
Stories define the moral landscape of a civilization. From the earliest mythologies to the modern spectacle of global cinema, the tales a society tells its youth shape the parameters of acceptable behavior, the cost of transgression, and the meaning of justice, power, and redemption. Among the most globally influential narratives of the past half-century is the Star Wars saga, a sprawling science fiction mythology that has transcended genre to become a cultural religion for many. Central to this mythos is the arc of Anakin Skywalker, the fallen Jedi Knight who becomes Darth Vader. In Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, Anakin commits what is arguably the most morally abhorrent act depicted in mainstream popular cinema: the mass murder of children. And yet, by the end of the saga, he is redeemed.
This chapter introduces the uninitiated to the events surrounding this narrative turn and explores the deep structural and ethical concerns it raises. We argue that the cultural treatment of Darth Vader as an anti-hero, even a role model, reveals a deep perversion in the collective moral grammar of the modern West. In doing so, we consider the implications this mythology may have on young adults navigating identity, masculinity, and agency in a world increasingly shaped by spectacle and symbolic narrative.
Part I: The Scene and Its Context
In Revenge of the Sith (2005), the third episode of the Star Wars prequel trilogy, the protagonist Anakin Skywalker succumbs to fear, ambition, and manipulation. Convinced that the Jedi Council is plotting against the Republic and desperate to save his pregnant wife from a vision of death, Anakin pledges allegiance to Chancellor Palpatine, secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. Upon doing so, he is given a new name—Darth Vader—and tasked with a critical mission: to eliminate all Jedi in the temple, including its youngest members.
In one of the most harrowing scenes in the film, Anakin enters the Jedi Temple. A group of young children, known as "younglings," emerge from hiding and plead for help. One steps forward, calling him "Master Skywalker," and asks what they are to do. Anakin responds by igniting his lightsaber. The screen cuts away, but the implication is unambiguous. Later, it is confirmed through dialogue and visual allusion that he slaughtered them all.
There is no ambiguity in the storytelling. The man who will become the galaxy’s most feared enforcer begins his descent by murdering defenseless children.
Part II: A New Kind of Evil in Youth-Oriented Media
For decades, cinema avoided certain taboos. Even films depicting war, genocide, or psychological horror rarely crossed the line into showing children as victims of deliberate violence by the protagonist. When children were harmed, it was by monstrous antagonists, supernatural forces, or offscreen implications. The killing of children was culturally reserved for historical atrocities and horror tales.
In Revenge of the Sith, this boundary was broken. While the film does not show the violence explicitly, the implication is so clear and so central to the character arc that its omission from visual depiction does not blunt the narrative weight. What makes this scene especially jarring is the tonal dissonance between the gravity of the act and the broader cultural treatment of Star Wars as a family-friendly saga. The juxtaposition of child-targeted marketing with a central plot involving child murder is not accidental—it reflects a deeper narrative and commercial structure.
This scene was not a deviation from the arc. It was the intended turning point.
Part III: Masculinity, Militarism, and the Appeal of the Anti-Hero
Darth Vader has long been idolized as a masculine icon. His towering presence, emotionless control, and mechanical voice exude power and discipline. Military institutions have quoted him. He is celebrated in memes, posters, and merchandise. Within the cultural imagination, he embodies dominance, command, and strategic ruthlessness.
For many young men, particularly those struggling with identity, agency, and perceived weakness, Vader becomes more than a character. He becomes an archetype: the man who reclaims power by embracing discipline, forsaking emotion, and exacting vengeance against those who betrayed him. The emotional pain that leads to his fall mirrors the experiences of isolation and perceived emasculation that many young men internalize in a fractured society.
The symbolism becomes dangerous. Anakin's descent into mass murder is portrayed not as the outcome of unchecked cruelty, but as a tragic mistake rooted in love and desperation. The implication is that under enough pressure, even the most horrific act can be framed as a step toward a noble end.
Part IV: Redemption as Narrative Alchemy
By the end of the original trilogy (Return of the Jedi, 1983), Darth Vader kills the Emperor to save his son Luke and dies shortly thereafter. Luke mourns him, honors him, and burns his body in reverence. In the final scene, Vader's ghost appears alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda—the very men who once considered him the greatest betrayal of their order. He is welcomed back.
There is no reckoning. No mention of the younglings. No memorial to the dead. No consequence beyond his own internal torment.
This model of redemption is not uncommon in Western storytelling. In Christian doctrine, the concept of grace allows for any sin to be forgiven if the sinner repents sincerely. But in the context of secular mass culture, such redemption without justice becomes deeply troubling. The cultural message is clear: even the worst crimes can be erased if one makes a grand enough gesture at the end. It is the erasure of moral debt by narrative fiat.
The implication is not only that evil can be undone by good, but that power and legacy matter more than the victims. Vader is not just forgiven—he is exalted.
Part V: Real-World Reflections and Dangerous Scripts
In recent decades, the rise of mass violence in schools and public places has revealed a disturbing pattern: young men who feel alienated, betrayed, or powerless adopt mythic narratives of vengeance and transformation. They often see themselves as tragic figures forced into violence by a cruel world. Some explicitly reference pop culture, quoting films, invoking fictional characters, or modeling their identities after cinematic anti-heroes.
It would be reductive to claim Star Wars causes such events. But it is equally naive to believe that such narratives play no role in shaping the symbolic frameworks through which vulnerable individuals understand their lives. The story of Anakin Skywalker offers a dangerous script:
- You are betrayed.
- You suffer.
- You kill.
- You become powerful.
- You are redeemed.
When combined with militarized masculinity, institutional failure, and cultural nihilism, this script can validate the darkest impulses. It becomes a myth of sacrificial violence, with the perpetrator as misunderstood hero.
Part VI: Cultural Responsibility and Narrative Ethics
The problem is not that Star Wars tells a tragic story. Tragedy is essential to moral understanding. The problem is how the culture treats that story. Darth Vader is not treated as a warning, a cautionary tale, or a fallen angel. He is merchandised, celebrated, and decontextualized.
By separating his image from his actions, society rebrands him as a figure of cool dominance rather than ethical failure. The younglings are forgotten. The victims vanish. Only the redemption remains. The merchandise continues to sell.
Cultural institutions bear responsibility for how such narratives are presented and consumed. Filmmakers may intend nuance, but marketing departments, military institutions, and fan cultures often reduce that nuance to symbol and slogan.
Conclusion: Reckoning with the Stories We Tell
The story of Anakin Skywalker is not morally neutral. It is a tale of systemic failure, emotional collapse, and unchecked violence. When presented in full, it can serve as a powerful warning. But when reduced to aesthetic dominance and easy redemption, it becomes a tool of moral decay.
The glorification of Darth Vader as a cultural icon—divorced from the horrific acts that define his transformation—is not just misguided. It is dangerous. It trains a generation to believe that power erases guilt, that violence is a path to recognition, and that final acts of loyalty can overwrite the deliberate murder of the innocent.
To the uninitiated, Star Wars may seem like harmless fantasy. But its deepest myth—the redemption of the child-killer through familial love and posthumous honor—deserves scrutiny. Not because fiction causes violence, but because fiction defines the possibilities of how we understand evil, forgiveness, and what it means to be a hero.
We must ask: What kind of redemption erases the cries of murdered children? And what kind of culture finds peace in that forgetting?

Bitcoin has always been a narrative revolution disguised as code. White paper, cypherpunk lore, pizza‑day legends - every block is a paragraph in the world’s most relentless epic. But code alone rarely converts the skeptic; it’s the camp‑fire myth that slips past the prefrontal cortex and shakes hands with the limbic system. People don’t adopt protocols first - they fall in love with protagonists.
Early adopters heard the white‑paper hymn, but most folks need characters first: a pizza‑day dreamer; a mother in a small country, crushed by the cost of remittance; a Warsaw street vendor swapping złoty for sats. When their arcs land, the brain releases a neurochemical OP_RETURN which says, “I belong in this plot.” That’s the sly roundabout orange pill: conviction smuggled inside catharsis.
That’s why, from 22–25 May in Warsaw’s Kinoteka, the Bitcoin Film Fest is loading its reels with rebellion. Each documentary, drama, and animated rabbit‑hole is a stealth wallet, zipping conviction straight into the feels of anyone still clasped within the cold claw of fiat. You come for the plot, you leave checking block heights.

2025-05-03 21:54:45Introduction
Me and Fishcake have been working on infrastructure for Noswhere and Nostr.build. Part of this involves processing a large amount of Nostr events for features such as search, analytics, and feeds.
I have been recently developing
nosdex
v3, a newer version of the Noswhere scraper that is designed for maximum performance and fault tolerance using FoundationDB (FDB).Fishcake has been working on a processing system for Nostr events to use with NB, based off of Cloudflare (CF) Pipelines, which is a relatively new beta product. This evening, we put it all to the test.
First preparations
We set up a new CF Pipelines endpoint, and I implemented a basic importer that took data from the
nosdex
database. This was quite slow, as it did HTTP requests synchronously, but worked as a good smoke test.Asynchronous indexing
I implemented a high-contention queue system designed for highly parallel indexing operations, built using FDB, that supports: - Fully customizable batch sizes - Per-index queues - Hundreds of parallel consumers - Automatic retry logic using lease expiration
When the scraper first gets an event, it will process it and eventually write it to the blob store and FDB. Each new event is appended to the event log.
On the indexing side, a
Queuer
will read the event log, and batch events (usually 2K-5K events) into one work job. This work job contains: - A range in the log to index - Which target this job is intended for - The size of the job and some other metadataEach job has an associated leasing state, which is used to handle retries and prioritization, and ensure no duplication of work.
Several
Worker
s monitor the index queue (up to 128) and wait for new jobs that are available to lease.Once a suitable job is found, the worker acquires a lease on the job and reads the relevant events from FDB and the blob store.
Depending on the indexing type, the job will be processed in one of a number of ways, and then marked as completed or returned for retries.
In this case, the event is also forwarded to CF Pipelines.
Trying it out
The first attempt did not go well. I found a bug in the high-contention indexer that led to frequent transaction conflicts. This was easily solved by correcting an incorrectly set parameter.
We also found there were other issues in the indexer, such as an insufficient amount of threads, and a suspicious decrease in the speed of the
Queuer
during processing of queued jobs.Along with fixing these issues, I also implemented other optimizations, such as deprioritizing
Worker
DB accesses, and increasing the batch size.To fix the degraded
Queuer
performance, I ran the backfill job by itself, and then started indexing after it had completed.Bottlenecks, bottlenecks everywhere
After implementing these fixes, there was an interesting problem: The DB couldn't go over 80K reads per second. I had encountered this limit during load testing for the scraper and other FDB benchmarks.
As I suspected, this was a client thread limitation, as one thread seemed to be using high amounts of CPU. To overcome this, I created a new client instance for each
Worker
.After investigating, I discovered that the Go FoundationDB client cached the database connection. This meant all attempts to create separate DB connections ended up being useless.
Using
OpenWithConnectionString
partially resolved this issue. (This also had benefits for service-discovery based connection configuration.)To be able to fully support multi-threading, I needed to enabled the FDB multi-client feature. Enabling it also allowed easier upgrades across DB versions, as FDB clients are incompatible across versions:
FDB_NETWORK_OPTION_EXTERNAL_CLIENT_LIBRARY="/lib/libfdb_c.so"
FDB_NETWORK_OPTION_CLIENT_THREADS_PER_VERSION="16"
Breaking the 100K/s reads barrier
After implementing support for the multi-threaded client, we were able to get over 100K reads per second.
You may notice after the restart (gap) the performance dropped. This was caused by several bugs: 1. When creating the CF Pipelines endpoint, we did not specify a region. The automatically selected region was far away from the server. 2. The amount of shards were not sufficient, so we increased them. 3. The client overloaded a few HTTP/2 connections with too many requests.
I implemented a feature to assign each
Worker
its own HTTP client, fixing the 3rd issue. We also moved the entire storage region to West Europe to be closer to the servers.After these changes, we were able to easily push over 200K reads/s, mostly limited by missing optimizations:
It's shards all the way down
While testing, we also noticed another issue: At certain times, a pipeline would get overloaded, stalling requests for seconds at a time. This prevented all forward progress on the
Worker
s.We solved this by having multiple pipelines: A primary pipeline meant to be for standard load, with moderate batching duration and less shards, and high-throughput pipelines with more shards.
Each
Worker
is assigned a pipeline on startup, and if one pipeline stalls, other workers can continue making progress and saturate the DB.The stress test
After making sure everything was ready for the import, we cleared all data, and started the import.
The entire import lasted 20 minutes between 01:44 UTC and 02:04 UTC, reaching a peak of: - 0.25M requests per second - 0.6M keys read per second - 140MB/s reads from DB - 2Gbps of network throughput
FoundationDB ran smoothly during this test, with: - Read times under 2ms - Zero conflicting transactions - No overloaded servers
CF Pipelines held up well, delivering batches to R2 without any issues, while reaching its maximum possible throughput.
Finishing notes
Me and Fishcake have been building infrastructure around scaling Nostr, from media, to relays, to content indexing. We consistently work on improving scalability, resiliency and stability, even outside these posts.
Many things, including what you see here, are already a part of Nostr.build, Noswhere and NFDB, and many other changes are being implemented every day.
If you like what you are seeing, and want to integrate it, get in touch. :)
If you want to support our work, you can zap this post, or register for nostr.land and nostr.build today.

2025-05-16 18:06:46Bitcoin has always been rooted in freedom and resistance to authority. I get that many of you are conflicted about the US Government stacking but by design we cannot stop anyone from using bitcoin. Many have asked me for my thoughts on the matter, so let’s rip it.
Concern
One of the most glaring issues with the strategic bitcoin reserve is its foundation, built on stolen bitcoin. For those of us who value private property this is an obvious betrayal of our core principles. Rather than proof of work, the bitcoin that seeds this reserve has been taken by force. The US Government should return the bitcoin stolen from Bitfinex and the Silk Road.
Using stolen bitcoin for the reserve creates a perverse incentive. If governments see bitcoin as a valuable asset, they will ramp up efforts to confiscate more bitcoin. The precedent is a major concern, and I stand strongly against it, but it should be also noted that governments were already seizing coin before the reserve so this is not really a change in policy.
Ideally all seized bitcoin should be burned, by law. This would align incentives properly and make it less likely for the government to actively increase coin seizures. Due to the truly scarce properties of bitcoin, all burned bitcoin helps existing holders through increased purchasing power regardless. This change would be unlikely but those of us in policy circles should push for it regardless. It would be best case scenario for American bitcoiners and would create a strong foundation for the next century of American leadership.
Optimism
The entire point of bitcoin is that we can spend or save it without permission. That said, it is a massive benefit to not have one of the strongest governments in human history actively trying to ruin our lives.
Since the beginning, bitcoiners have faced horrible regulatory trends. KYC, surveillance, and legal cases have made using bitcoin and building bitcoin businesses incredibly difficult. It is incredibly important to note that over the past year that trend has reversed for the first time in a decade. A strategic bitcoin reserve is a key driver of this shift. By holding bitcoin, the strongest government in the world has signaled that it is not just a fringe technology but rather truly valuable, legitimate, and worth stacking.
This alignment of incentives changes everything. The US Government stacking proves bitcoin’s worth. The resulting purchasing power appreciation helps all of us who are holding coin and as bitcoin succeeds our government receives direct benefit. A beautiful positive feedback loop.
Realism
We are trending in the right direction. A strategic bitcoin reserve is a sign that the state sees bitcoin as an asset worth embracing rather than destroying. That said, there is a lot of work left to be done. We cannot be lulled into complacency, the time to push forward is now, and we cannot take our foot off the gas. We have a seat at the table for the first time ever. Let's make it worth it.
We must protect the right to free usage of bitcoin and other digital technologies. Freedom in the digital age must be taken and defended, through both technical and political avenues. Multiple privacy focused developers are facing long jail sentences for building tools that protect our freedom. These cases are not just legal battles. They are attacks on the soul of bitcoin. We need to rally behind them, fight for their freedom, and ensure the ethos of bitcoin survives this new era of government interest. The strategic reserve is a step in the right direction, but it is up to us to hold the line and shape the future.

2025-05-16 17:59:23Recently we have seen a wave of high profile X accounts hacked. These attacks have exposed the fragility of the status quo security model used by modern social media platforms like X. Many users have asked if nostr fixes this, so lets dive in. How do these types of attacks translate into the world of nostr apps? For clarity, I will use X’s security model as representative of most big tech social platforms and compare it to nostr.
The Status Quo
On X, you never have full control of your account. Ultimately to use it requires permission from the company. They can suspend your account or limit your distribution. Theoretically they can even post from your account at will. An X account is tied to an email and password. Users can also opt into two factor authentication, which adds an extra layer of protection, a login code generated by an app. In theory, this setup works well, but it places a heavy burden on users. You need to create a strong, unique password and safeguard it. You also need to ensure your email account and phone number remain secure, as attackers can exploit these to reset your credentials and take over your account. Even if you do everything responsibly, there is another weak link in X infrastructure itself. The platform’s infrastructure allows accounts to be reset through its backend. This could happen maliciously by an employee or through an external attacker who compromises X’s backend. When an account is compromised, the legitimate user often gets locked out, unable to post or regain control without contacting X’s support team. That process can be slow, frustrating, and sometimes fruitless if support denies the request or cannot verify your identity. Often times support will require users to provide identification info in order to regain access, which represents a privacy risk. The centralized nature of X means you are ultimately at the mercy of the company’s systems and staff.
Nostr Requires Responsibility
Nostr flips this model radically. Users do not need permission from a company to access their account, they can generate as many accounts as they want, and cannot be easily censored. The key tradeoff here is that users have to take complete responsibility for their security. Instead of relying on a username, password, and corporate servers, nostr uses a private key as the sole credential for your account. Users generate this key and it is their responsibility to keep it safe. As long as you have your key, you can post. If someone else gets it, they can post too. It is that simple. This design has strong implications. Unlike X, there is no backend reset option. If your key is compromised or lost, there is no customer support to call. In a compromise scenario, both you and the attacker can post from the account simultaneously. Neither can lock the other out, since nostr relays simply accept whatever is signed with a valid key.
The benefit? No reliance on proprietary corporate infrastructure.. The negative? Security rests entirely on how well you protect your key.
Future Nostr Security Improvements
For many users, nostr’s standard security model, storing a private key on a phone with an encrypted cloud backup, will likely be sufficient. It is simple and reasonably secure. That said, nostr’s strength lies in its flexibility as an open protocol. Users will be able to choose between a range of security models, balancing convenience and protection based on need.
One promising option is a web of trust model for key rotation. Imagine pre-selecting a group of trusted friends. If your account is compromised, these people could collectively sign an event announcing the compromise to the network and designate a new key as your legitimate one. Apps could handle this process seamlessly in the background, notifying followers of the switch without much user interaction. This could become a popular choice for average users, but it is not without tradeoffs. It requires trust in your chosen web of trust, which might not suit power users or large organizations. It also has the issue that some apps may not recognize the key rotation properly and followers might get confused about which account is “real.”
For those needing higher security, there is the option of multisig using FROST (Flexible Round-Optimized Schnorr Threshold). In this setup, multiple keys must sign off on every action, including posting and updating a profile. A hacker with just one key could not do anything. This is likely overkill for most users due to complexity and inconvenience, but it could be a game changer for large organizations, companies, and governments. Imagine the White House nostr account requiring signatures from multiple people before a post goes live, that would be much more secure than the status quo big tech model.
Another option are hardware signers, similar to bitcoin hardware wallets. Private keys are kept on secure, offline devices, separate from the internet connected phone or computer you use to broadcast events. This drastically reduces the risk of remote hacks, as private keys never touches the internet. It can be used in combination with multisig setups for extra protection. This setup is much less convenient and probably overkill for most but could be ideal for governments, companies, or other high profile accounts.
Nostr’s security model is not perfect but is robust and versatile. Ultimately users are in control and security is their responsibility. Apps will give users multiple options to choose from and users will choose what best fits their need.

2025-05-16 17:51:54In much of the world, it is incredibly difficult to access U.S. dollars. Local currencies are often poorly managed and riddled with corruption. Billions of people demand a more reliable alternative. While the dollar has its own issues of corruption and mismanagement, it is widely regarded as superior to the fiat currencies it competes with globally. As a result, Tether has found massive success providing low cost, low friction access to dollars. Tether claims 400 million total users, is on track to add 200 million more this year, processes 8.1 million transactions daily, and facilitates $29 billion in daily transfers. Furthermore, their estimates suggest nearly 40% of users rely on it as a savings tool rather than just a transactional currency.
Tether’s rise has made the company a financial juggernaut. Last year alone, Tether raked in over $13 billion in profit, with a lean team of less than 100 employees. Their business model is elegantly simple: hold U.S. Treasuries and collect the interest. With over $113 billion in Treasuries, Tether has turned a straightforward concept into a profit machine.
Tether’s success has resulted in many competitors eager to claim a piece of the pie. This has triggered a massive venture capital grift cycle in USD tokens, with countless projects vying to dethrone Tether. Due to Tether’s entrenched network effect, these challengers face an uphill battle with little realistic chance of success. Most educated participants in the space likely recognize this reality but seem content to perpetuate the grift, hoping to cash out by dumping their equity positions on unsuspecting buyers before they realize the reality of the situation.
Historically, Tether’s greatest vulnerability has been U.S. government intervention. For over a decade, the company operated offshore with few allies in the U.S. establishment, making it a major target for regulatory action. That dynamic has shifted recently and Tether has seized the opportunity. By actively courting U.S. government support, Tether has fortified their position. This strategic move will likely cement their status as the dominant USD token for years to come.
While undeniably a great tool for the millions of users that rely on it, Tether is not without flaws. As a centralized, trusted third party, it holds the power to freeze or seize funds at its discretion. Corporate mismanagement or deliberate malpractice could also lead to massive losses at scale. In their goal of mitigating regulatory risk, Tether has deepened ties with law enforcement, mirroring some of the concerns of potential central bank digital currencies. In practice, Tether operates as a corporate CBDC alternative, collaborating with authorities to surveil and seize funds. The company proudly touts partnerships with leading surveillance firms and its own data reveals cooperation in over 1,000 law enforcement cases, with more than $2.5 billion in funds frozen.
The global demand for Tether is undeniable and the company’s profitability reflects its unrivaled success. Tether is owned and operated by bitcoiners and will likely continue to push forward strategic goals that help the movement as a whole. Recent efforts to mitigate the threat of U.S. government enforcement will likely solidify their network effect and stifle meaningful adoption of rival USD tokens or CBDCs. Yet, for all their achievements, Tether is simply a worse form of money than bitcoin. Tether requires trust in a centralized entity, while bitcoin can be saved or spent without permission. Furthermore, Tether is tied to the value of the US Dollar which is designed to lose purchasing power over time, while bitcoin, as a truly scarce asset, is designed to increase in purchasing power with adoption. As people awaken to the risks of Tether’s control, and the benefits bitcoin provides, bitcoin adoption will likely surpass it.

2025-05-02 13:40:12Das Kriegsgrauen kriecht unter die Haut. Bilder von verstümmelten Beinen und Armen, von Kriegstraumatisierten schweigenden Männern, von Kriegsgräbern steigen auf. Als Mutter, Schwester, Tante, Großmutter wachsen die Ängste, dass sich ein Verwandter von der politischen und medialen Kriegslust anstecken lässt und tatsächlich die Beteiligung an den näher kommenden kriegerischen Auseinandersetzungen in Erwägung zieht. Einen wütenden Kommentar anlässlich der wachsenden Kriegstreiberei verfasste unser Autor Nicolas Riedl.

2025-05-17 07:35:51Cryptocurrencies are digital currencies that have gained significant attention in recent times. Cryptocurrency mining, also known as mining, involves computers equipped with specialized software and hardware solving problems to validate cryptocurrency transfer transactions and, in return, being rewarded with newly generated cryptocurrency. If you have a powerful computer and an internet connection, you can easily engage in mining. Anyone interested in cryptocurrency mining needs to have computers with robust processors.
Transfers between wallets are possible, and transactions can be added to the transaction pool on numerous blockchains without the need for confirmation. Later, transactions are combined to form a block. These blocks are verified from the perspective of the systems connected to the network and, upon confirmation, are added to the blockchain.
To earn money through mining, you need to invest a significant amount of time. Earnings can vary depending on the type of mining, the value of the cryptocurrency, and the unit of measurement. Considerable budget investment is required for the system. Price increases in computer components lead to an increase in investment. However, it's possible to turn your investment into profit in a short period.
Having a high processing power can make it more challenging to cool the computers. Taking this into account, you need to adjust your budget. Additionally, an increase in the number of computers makes monitoring and maintenance more difficult. You must have sufficient knowledge about hardware. Otherwise, there is a risk of your money going to waste. As mining progresses, your investment may need to increase. In the event of malfunctions and decreased performance, replacements are necessary.
How to Earn with Bitcoin Mining? With mining, you can earn cryptocurrency without having to work too hard. Bitcoin is obtained from units called blocks. To complete a block, there is a reward of 12.5 BTC. You can calculate this based on the current value of Bitcoin.
When Bitcoin was first introduced in 2009, mining rewarded 50 BTC. We can say that this number is halved every four years. So, in 2012, it became 25 BTC, in 2015, 12.5 BTC, and as of 2020, it was 6.25 BTC.
How much profit can be made from Bitcoin mining? Earning from cryptocurrencies is not limited to cryptocurrency exchanges. As mentioned earlier, you can also earn through mining. The income and expenses of Bitcoin mining can vary depending on the type of mining performed. Therefore, individuals interested in mining need to make a good plan.
The income can vary depending on the chosen mining method and the price and unit of the cryptocurrency. Making a profit takes time. After purchasing the hardware, you need to wait for it to amortize its cost and recover the fees paid for cloud mining.
Recent price stagnation has led to a decrease in on-chain transaction activity for Bitcoin. This has negatively affected miners' earnings. According to recent data, 231,437 transactions have been processed. This is noted as the lowest number of transactions since May 24th. We can see a 40% drop from the peak of 382,408 transactions in July.
What is the Return on Ethereum Mining? Ethereum is one of the most widely mined cryptocurrencies in the cryptocurrency market. Ethereum miners can earn an average of around $1,121 per year. When you factor in expenses for electricity, other hardware, and various items, it may not be possible to make a significant profit in the first year. However, if you view this as an investment, you can expect to make substantial gains in subsequent periods.
Having powerful hardware increases earnings and enables efficient mining. Just as with all investments, the risk-reward ratio should be calculated carefully for mining

Sehr geehrter Herr Bindseil und Herr Schaff von der Europäischen Zentralbank,
Ich schreibe Ihnen heute, am Tag der Veröffentlichung Ihres EZB-Blog-Berichts „Bitcoin's Last Stand", sowohl mit Belustigung als auch mit Bestürzung. Ich amüsiere mich darüber, wie albern und hilflos Sie beide erscheinen, indem Sie sich auf müde und längst widerlegte Erzählungen über Bitcoin und seine Nutzlosigkeit und Verschwendung stützen. Und ich bin beunruhigt, weil ich von zwei sehr gut ausgebildeten und etablierten Mitgliedern Ihres Fachgebiets eine viel differenziertere kritische Sichtweise auf den aufkeimenden Bitcoin und die Lightning Skalierungslösung erwartet hätte.
Sie haben sich mit Ihren dilettantischen Versuchen, Angst, Unsicherheit und Zweifel an einem globalen Open-Source-Kooperationsprojekt zu säen, das als ein ständig wachsendes Wertspeicher und -übertragungssystem für viele Millionen Menschen weltweit fungiert, wirklich einen Bärendienst erwiesen. Ein System, das jedes Jahr von mehr und mehr Menschen genutzt wird, da sie von seiner Effektivität und seinem Nutzen erfahren. Und ein System, das noch nie gehackt oder geknackt wurde, das funktioniert, um die „Banklosen" zu versorgen, besonders in den Ländern und Orten, wo sie von finsteren totalitären Regierungen schwer unterdrückt oder von der finanziell „entwickelten" Welt einfach im Stich gelassen wurden. In der Tat ist Bitcoin bereits gesetzliches Zahlungsmittel in El Salvador und der Zentralafrikanischen Republik, und erst gestern erhielt er in Brasilien den Status eines „Zahlungsmittels".
Es entbehrt nicht einer gewissen Ironie, wenn ich schreibe, dass Sie das Ziel so gründlich verfehlen, insbesondere weil die Bank- und Finanzsysteme, zu denen Sie gehören, für eine Energie- und Materialverschwendung verantwortlich sind, die um Größenordnungen größer ist als die Systeme und Ressourcen, die das Bitcoin-Netzwerk antreiben und erhalten. Ich bin mir sicher, dass Sie sich der revolutionären kohlenstoff- und treibhausgasreduzierenden Effekte bewusst sind, die Bitcoin-Mining-Anlagen haben, wenn sie neben Methan-emittierenden Mülldeponien und/oder Ölproduktionsanlagen angesiedelt sind. Und ich weiß, dass Sie auch gut über solar- und windbetriebene Bitcoin-Mining-Cluster informiert sind, die dabei helfen, Mikronetze in unterversorgten Gemeinden einzurichten.
Ich könnte noch weiter darüber sprechen, wie das Lightning-Netzwerk implementiert wird, um Überweisungszahlungen zu erleichtern sowie Finanztechnologie und Souveränität in Gemeinden in Laos und Afrika südlich der Sahara zu bringen. Aber lassen Sie mich zu dem Teil kommen, der einen gewöhnlichen Menschen wie mich einfach zutiefst traurig macht. Bitcoin ist, wie Sie sehr wohl wissen (trotz Ihrer dummen und veralteten Verleumdungen), ein technologisches Netzwerk, das nicht auf nationaler oder internationaler Verschuldung oder der Laune von Politikern basiert oder durch sie entwertet wird. Es ist ein System, das jenseits der Kontrolle einer einzelnen Person, eines Landes oder einer Gruppe von Ländern liegt. Wenn Bitcoin sprechen könnte (was er in der Tat ungefähr alle zehn Minuten tut, durch das elektro-mathematische Knistern und Summen des Wahrheitsfeuers), würde er diese Worte aussprechen:
„Über allen Völkern steht die Menschlichkeit".\ \ Als Bankiers der Europäischen Union, als Menschen von der Erde, als biologische Wesen, die denselben Gesetzen des Verfalls und der Krankheit unterliegen wie alle anderen Wesen, wäre es da nicht erfrischend für Sie beide, das Studium und die Teilnahme an einer Technologie zu begrüßen, die die Arbeit und die Bemühungen der sich abmühenden Menschen auf unserem Planeten bewahrt, anstatt sie zu entwerten? Wie die Bitcoin-Kollegin Alyse Killeen wiederholt gesagt hat: „Bitcoin ist FinTech für arme Menschen".
Ich bin dankbar für Ihre Aufmerksamkeit und hoffe, dass Sie über Bitcoin nachdenken und es gründlicher studieren werden.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Cosmo Crixter

2025-05-17 06:31:52ความสำเร็จ จำเป็นต้องมีวินัย
ความมีวินัย คือ "การทำด้วยความตั้งใจ ไม่หวั่นไหว/ไหลตามไปกับอารมณ์" ส่วน "ความไร้วินัย" มีนัยยะตรงกันข้าม กล่าวคือ
ความไร้วินัย คือ "การทำตามความหวั่นไหว/ไหลตามไปกับอารมณ์" เช่น ความง่วง หิว เบื่อ เซ็ง พอใจ ไม่พอใจ กลัว หลงไหล/ขาดสติ เป็นต้น จนเกิดข้ออ้างสารพัด เช่น * อ้างว่าเดี๋ยวก่อน เอาไว้ทีหลัง * อ้างว่าเหนื่อยหน่าย * อ้างว่าร้อนไป หนาวไป * อ้างว่ายังเช้าอยู่ * อ้างว่าสายไปแล้ว * ฯลฯ
การสร้างวินัยที่ยั่งยืน "ไม่ได้เกิดจากการฝืน แต่เกิดจากความฝัน" กฎแห่งความฝันระบุว่า เราต้องสร้างภาพสวรรค์ (เป้าหมาย) ให้ชัด จากนั้นให้ลดช่องว่างระหว่างการคิดและการกระทำให้เหลือน้อยที่สุด เพราะถ้าเราคิดมาก ส่วนใหญ่เราจะไม่ได้ทำ จิตใจเราจะอ่อนแอ ไม่เข้มแข็งมั่นคง
กฎแห่งความฝัน ควรฝันเพื่อผู้อื่น อย่าฝันเพื่อตัวเองคนเดียว เพราะขณะที่จิตมุ่งเป้าสู่ความสำเร็จนั้นมัน ถ้ามันมีมากเกินไป สติปัญญาจะอ่อนค่าลง ความรอบรู้จะน้อยลง ณ ขณะนั้นการกระทำทั้งปวงจะขาดความเห็นอกเห็นใจผู้อื่นหากทำเพื่อตัวเองฝ่ายเดียว แต่ถ้าพลังมุ่งเป้าที่ส่วนรวม ทุกการกระทำจะส่งคุณค่าเกิดเป็นความสุขความสำเร็จร่วมกัน

2025-05-01 18:18:36Digitales Geld ist nur Text, die ganze Zeit
Bei digitalem Geld geht es im Grunde nur um Zahlen in einem Hauptbuch. Die ganze Zeit über sind es die Zahlen, auf die es ankommt. Lange Zahlen sind einfach nur Zeichenketten im PC und diese werden als Nachrichten in einem Netzwerk, das durch Regeln gebildet wird, an gleichwertige Peers gesendet - das ist Bitcoin, das mit einem einzigartigen dezentralen Zeitstempel-Algorithmus kombiniert wird, der durch die Unfälschbarkeit von Energie gesichert ist. Das Ergebnis ist ein Bargeldnetzwerk mit einem festen, vorprogrammierten Zeitplan für die Geldschöpfung, das den ersten absolut knappen digitalen Inhabervermögenswert schafft.\ \ Diese revolutionären Ideen werden bleiben, genauso wie das Feuer, das Rad, die Elektrizität, das Smartphone, das Internet oder die Zahl Null. Technologie entwickelt sich weiter und was machen lebende Organismen? Sie können mutieren, genau wie Viren, und das hat mich zu dem Schluss gebracht, dass es auch in dieser Hinsicht eine Verbindung gibt und das obwohl Gigi bereits einige der vielen Facetten von Bitcoin beschrieben hat. Für mich ist die Grundlage die Abstraktion, dass Bitcoin nur die Summe aller Menschen ist, die Satoshis besitzen oder anderweitig mit dem Bitcoin-Netzwerk interagieren.\ \ Die Technologien werden in einem bestimmten Tempo angenommen. Allerdings gibt es immer frühe oder späte Entdecker von neuer Technologie. Aber was passiert, wenn es zu einer ernsthaften Bedrohung wird, wenn hartes Geld nicht adoptiert wird? Was passiert, wenn die Geschwindigkeit der Preiszunahme so hoch wird, dass es unmöglich ist, jemanden zu finden, der Satoshi in Fiat tauschen möchte? Was passiert, wenn die Hyperbitcoinisierung morgen beginnt? Was wäre, wenn es eine UpSideProtection™️ gäbe, die diesen Prozess noch mehr beschleunigt und dir Bitcoin zu einem Bruchteil seines wahren Wertes sichert?\ \ Wir alle wünschen uns einen sicheren Übergang, um den Krieg aufgrund einer scheiternden Dollar-Hegemonie zu vermeiden, und tatsächlich gibt es ein Rennen, um den Krieg zu vermeiden. Mein größtes Geschenk ist die Zeit, die ich ich investiere, und die monetäre Energie, die ich in Bitcoin spare, und da ich schon eine Weile dabei bin, sehe ich, dass meine Mitstreiter die gleiche Mission verfolgen. Aber das ist NICHT genug. Wir müssen skalieren. Schneller.\ \ Das Erstaunen über den Kurzfilm der große Widerstand hat mich zu dem Schluss gebracht, dass wir alle Werkzeuge und Informationen in Form von Lehrern, Podcasts, Büchern und aufklärenden Videos bereits haben. Der Vorteil einer festen Geldmenge wird aber noch nicht von einer kritischen Masse verstanden, sondern nur von einer intoleranten Minderheit. Diese Minderheit wächst von Tag zu Tag. Ihre Inkarnationen sind die DCA-Armee, die Hodler der letzten Instanz, die unbeirrten Stacker, die Cyberhornets, die Memefactory™️ und Mitglieder der 21 Gruppe auf der ganzen Welt.\ \ Wir Bitcoiner sind räumlich getrennt, aber nicht in der Zeit. Getrennt in der Sprache, aber nicht in der Mission. Vereint müssen wir uns zu Wort melden, aufklären und Bitcoin wie einen Virus verbreiten.\ \ Niemand entscheidet, was Bitcoin für dich ist - dieser Virus des Geistes verfestigt sich in unbestechlichen Zahlen, die zu einer wachsenden Zahl an UTXOs in den Geldbörsen führen, nicht in negativen gesundheitlichen Auswirkungen. Bitcoin ist der Virus der Schuldenindustrie, der Virus, der im 21. Jahrhundert zur größten Definanzialisierung und Auflösung des Kredits führen wird. Da wir noch nicht in einer hyperbitcoinisierten Welt leben, müssen wir den Virus effektiver machen. Bitcoin muss mutieren, aber es ist nicht Bitcoin, der tatsächlich mutiert, sondern die Menschen, die ihn benutzen. Sie werden zu toxischen Maximalisten, die den Virus noch stärker verbreiten und alle Shitcoiner während ihrer Anwesenheit geistig infizieren oder argumentativ töten.\ \ Ich habe mich gefragt, wie wir eine Milliarde Menschen dazu ausbilden und überzeugen können, Bitcoin freiwillig zu nutzen und darin zu sparen, so dass sie Bitcoin als primäres Mittel zur Speicherung und Übermittlung von Werten in Raum und Zeit nutzen? Die Hyperbitcoinisierung braucht nur eine einzige, starke positive Rückkopplungsschleife um wirklich in Gang zu kommen, und diese Rückkopplung gibt es bereits, aber nicht in den Köpfen aller. Ab einer bestimmten Schwelle wird die Schwerkraft von Bitcoins gehärteten monetären Eigenschaften einfach zu hoch sein, als dass die Spieltheorie nicht zu dieser Rückkopplung führen würde, vor allem da Bitcoin im Jahr 2024 Gold in Punkto Knappheit übertrifft.\ \ Die Verbreitung der Idee einer festen dezentralen Geldmenge, die der Macht zentraler Kräfte entzogen ist, ist der Virus. Der Weg, das Spiel zu spielen, ist, Stacker zu stapeln, und Stacker stapeln Sats, wodurch die Geldmenge noch dezentralisierter wird und ein Verbot noch absurder wird. Sats sind endlich und unser Spiel ist es auch. Allein eine bestimmte Anzahl von einfachen Leuten, den Plebs, kann den Preis auf 1.000.000 EURO treiben.\ \ Letztendlich wird sich die Welt an das neue Gleichgewicht der Macht zugunsten des Individuums anpassen. Diese Idee in die Köpfe der Massen zu bringen, ist die wichtigste Aufgabe für 2023, die in das nächste Halving Mitte 2024 führt.\ \ Wir müssen unseren Reproduktionswert erhöhen, um die Akzeptanz zu steigern. Die Verwendung von Bitcoin als Zahlungsmittel und eine Kreislaufwirtschaft ist wichtig. Bildung ist wichtig. Apps und Anwendungsfälle sind wichtig. Die Kaufkraft, d.h. die Moskau Zeit, die sich in Richtung Mitternacht (00:00) bewegt, spielt eine Rolle, und all dies hängt zusammen.\ \ Aber wie genau können Plebs eine Milliarde Menschen überzeugen?\ \ Wie genau hat das Corona-Virus eine Milliarde Menschen infiziert?\ \ Peer-to-Peer.\ \ Erhebe deine Stimme, wer auch immer du bist, sprich über Bitcoin, werde aktiv und BUIDL oder lass uns einfach Spaß daran haben, arm zu bleiben und es genießen, jeden Tag bestohlen zu werden.\ \ Lass uns Yellow mehr Freizeit schenken und Bitcoin bis 100k+ aufkaufen und uns damit ins Stackheaven befördern.
"Don't stop believin' HODL on to that feelin' "
Der Rest wird in die unumstößliche Geschichte der Timechain eingraviert.
„Unter dieser Maske gibt es mehr als nur Fleisch. Unter dieser Maske ist eine Idee. Und Ideen sind kugelsicher." Alan Moore, V wie Vendetta
⚡
Danke für deine Aufmerksamkeit .\ \ #GetShortFiat und #GetOnZero\ \ Es ist immer noch 60 Uhr. Sei weise und stapele unbeirrt. Man kann die Mathematik und Physik nicht austricksen.\ \ Wenn der Post dir Motivation zum Stapeln von Sats oder dem Stapeln von Stackern gemacht hat, freue ich mich, wenn du mir auch etwas beim Stapeln hilfst!

2025-05-01 18:12:30Was ist ein Meme?
Bevor wir uns in die Materie vertiefen, sollten wir einen genaueren Blick auf die Begriffe werfen, mit denen wir es zu tun haben. Laut dem American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language ist ein Meme „eine Einheit kultureller Informationen, wie z. B. eine kulturelle Praxis oder Idee, die verbal oder durch wiederholte Handlungen von einem Geist zum anderen übertragen wird".
Der Begriff wurde von Richard Dawkins in seinem 1976 erschienenen Buch geprägt und ist eine Anspielung auf das Wort "Gen", die Einheit der biologischen Information, die sexuell von einem Organismus auf einen anderen übertragen wird.
Dawkins erkannte, dass kulturelle Informationen ähnlich wie biologische Informationen sind und sich genauso verbreiten und mutieren, wenn auch auf einer höheren Abstraktionsebene. Genau wie bei biologischen Informationen ist der ultimative Test für kulturelle Informationen das Überleben, und genau wie biologische Informationen müssen sie für die Umwelt geeignet sein, um sich zu verbreiten und am Leben zu gehalten zu werden.
Manche Ideen funktionieren einfach nicht, wenn sie fehl am Platz sind oder die Zeit nicht reif für sie ist. Sie werden schnell sterben, genau wie der sprichwörtliche Fisch auf dem Trockenen. Andere Memes funktionieren vielleicht eine Zeit lang, verblassen aber langsam durch allmähliche Veränderungen in der Umwelt oder brechen plötzlich durch die von ihnen ausgelösten destruktiven Rückkopplungsschleifen zusammen. Wie Gene verbreiten sich Meme langfristig nur dann, wenn sie für den Organismus und seine Umwelt von Nutzen sind.
„In der Wissenschaft der Ökologie lernt man, dass der Mensch nicht ein Organismus in einer Umwelt ist, sondern eine Organismus-Umwelt-Beziehung. Das heißt, ein einheitlicher Bereich des Verhaltens. Wenn man das Verhalten eines Organismus sorgfältig beschreibt, kann man das nicht tun, ohne gleichzeitig das Verhalten der Umwelt zu beschreiben... [...] Der Organismus ist nicht die Marionette der Umwelt, die von ihr herumgeschubst wird. Umgekehrt ist auch die Umwelt nicht die Marionette des Organismus, die vom Organismus herumgeschubst wird. Die Beziehung zwischen ihnen ist, um es mit John Deweys Worten zu sagen, transaktional."\ \ Alan Watts
Was hat das mit Bitcoin zu tun? Nun, du musst dich fragen, wie das Bitcoin-Netzwerk zustande kommt, und wenn du das tust, wirst du feststellen, dass Bitcoin sich nicht allzu sehr von den oben erwähnten Memen und Genen unterscheidet. Bitcoin ist ein instanziierter Computercode, ein digitaler Organismus, der die Menschheit dafür bezahlt, ihn am Leben zu erhalten, wie Ralph Merkle es so treffend formulierte. Die kumulative Arbeit, die in Bitcoins Timechain eingebettet ist, ist das, was Bitcoin real macht und was ihn von gewöhnlicher Information unterscheidet. Und von gewöhnlichen Computerprogrammen, was das betrifft. Genauso wie es einen Unterschied zwischen dir selbst und einem Ausdruck deiner DNA gibt, gibt es einen Unterschied zwischen dem Bitcoin-Code - den Memes, die er sich zu Nutze macht - und der realen Instanziierung von Bitcoin.
Das Bitcoin-Netzwerk instanziiert und validiert sich selbst alle 10 Minuten, Block für Block, wie ein Uhrwerk. Diese Blöcke sind die Informationseinheit, die übertragen wird, und ja, genau wie bei den Memen ist diese Information eine kulturelle Information. Die Tatsache, dass diese Information elektronisch übertragen wird, spielt keine Rolle; sie verkörpert immer noch den Kern der Bitcoin-Kultur, die Seele des Netzwerks. Und genau wie Memes wird diese Information durch wiederholte Aktionen von einem Knotenpunkt zum anderen übertragen. Und davor, von einem Geist zum anderen.
Im ökologischen Sinne handeln wir alle mit Bitcoin, und Bitcoin handelt mit uns. Wenn du von Bitcoin gehört hast, wenn du das Meme „21 Millionen" kennst, dann hat Bitcoin mit dir Geschäfte gemacht. Lange bevor du deine erste Bitcoin-Transaktion gemacht haben.
Memes und ihre Umgebung
Bitcoin sind Menschen, wenn es darauf ankommt. Ja, es ist Software, aber die Menschen müssen die Software ausführen und, was noch wichtiger ist, selbst entscheiden, was Bitcoin ist. Es gibt keine Autorität, wenn es um Bitcoin geht. So muss jeder für sich selbst herausfinden, was Bitcoin ist, und aus der Überschneidung der verschiedenen Standpunkte ergibt sich ein Konsens. Dies ist ein ständiger Prozess, denn es geht nicht nur darum, was Bitcoin derzeit ist, sondern auch darum, was Bitcoin sein könnte. Was Bitcoin sein sollte. Genau darum ging es im Blocksize War. Ein Kampf um die Seele von Bitcoin. Eine Meinungsverschiedenheit über die Zukunft und den ultimativen Zweck von Bitcoin. Ein Unterschied im memetischen Material, der letztendlich zu einer Spaltung des Protokolls führte, was wiederum zu einer Spaltung des Netzwerks und einer Spaltung der Kultur führte.
Aber auch ohne eine Spaltung, selbst wenn ein Konsens besteht, ist die Frage „was Bitcoin ist" nicht eindeutig zu beantworten.
Für dich mag das Lightning Network nicht wichtig sein, und es steht dir frei, eine Vor-SegWit-Version von Bitcoin zu betreiben. Für jemand anderen sind Dickbutts und Fürze auf der Blockchain vielleicht nicht wichtig, und er könnte sich entscheiden, eine Vor-Taproot-Version von Bitcoin zu verwenden (oder eine Version zu verwenden, die Ordnungszahlen (Ordinals) nicht respektiert). Bitcoin ist abwärtskompatibel, und Upgrades sind optional, gerade weil es keine Autorität gibt, die etwas vorschreibt.
So funktioniert Bitcoin, und so wird es immer funktionieren, weshalb Memes wichtig sind und warum es eigentlich durchweg Memes sind.
Um Bitcoin zu nutzen, muss man sich freiwillig entscheiden. Man muss zuerst von der Idee überzeugt werden, von der Idee, Sats zu akzeptieren, damit Fiat fallen zu lassen und Bitcoin zu erwerben. Erst wenn man davon überzeugt ist, dass elektronisches Bargeld mit einer (absolut) festen Menge nützlich sein könnte, wird man es akzeptieren oder damit sparen.
Das Meme „21 Millionen" kommt zuerst, und nachdem unsere Gehirne ausreichend von der Idee infiziert wurden, werden wir deshalb die Software starten, die die 21 Millionen ins Leben rufen.
Natürlich kommen manche Leute - ich glaube, die meisten - auf Umwegen zum Bitcoin. Du denkst, dass es sich um einen spekulativen Vermögenswert handelt, etwas, das existiert, um mehr Dollar zu verdienen, d. h. um mehr Papiergeld zu verdienen. Oder du entdeckst ihn über Online-Glücksspiele oder andere Wege, und auf diese Weise kommen sie zu ihren ersten Sätzen. Aber selbst wenn du auf Umwegen zu Bitcoin kommst, selbst wenn Bitcoin vor deiner Haustür ankommt, ohne dass du verstehst, womit du es zu tun hast, musst du lernen, Bitcoin selbstbestimmt zu nutzen, oder du wirst es nicht schaffen.
Bitcoin auf eine selbstsouveräne Art und Weise zu nutzen, bedeutet, dass du die Memes von Bitcoin absorbieren musst. Zum Beispiel musst du die „21 Millionen" übernehmen und ihnen zustimmen, sonst hast du keinen Bitcoin, sondern einen Shitcoin in den Händen. Bitcoin am Laufen zu halten bedeutet, Bitcoin auszuleben, was wiederum bedeutet, seine eigenen Schlüssel zu besitzen, seinen eigenen Knoten zu betreiben und den zentralen Konsensparametern zuzustimmen, die Bitcoin zu Bitcoin machen.
Mit der Zeit wird ein horizontaler Meme-Transfer stattfinden. Bitcoin wird auf dich abfärben. Du wirst nicht nur den Ideen ausgesetzt sein, die in Bitcoin eingebettet sind; nein, du wirst ein Teil davon sein und das Meme leben, indem du die Satoshi Tag für Tag und Block für Block hältst.
Oder du wirst es nicht. Wenn du mit den Ideen, die in den Konsensparametern von Bitcoin eingebettet sind, nicht einverstanden sind, hast du zwei Möglichkeiten: Du kannst dich abspalten oder unter dem Bitcoin Derangement Syndrom leiden. Man kann sich natürlich auch an die Umwelt anpassen und in Symbiose mit ihr leben, was bedeutet, sich mit dem in Bitcoin eingebetteten memetischen Material zu arrangieren - es zu akzeptieren und ihm langsam zuzustimmen.
Wenn man die zuvor skizzierte ökologische Sichtweise anwendet, bilden Bitcoin und die Bitcoiner selbst den Organismus-Umwelt und beeinflussen sich gegenseitig in 10-Minuten-Intervallen. Das Knifflige daran ist, dass Bitcoin sowohl Organismus als auch Umwelt ist, genau wie wir selbst. Das Bitcoin-Meme lebt in unseren Gehirnen und unsere Vorstellung davon, was Bitcoin ist - und was es sein sollte - ändert sich mit der Zeit. Die ökonomische Erweiterung von uns - unsere Sats - leben in der Umgebung, die Bitcoin ist, eine Umgebung, die wir individuell und kollektiv hervorbringen.
Wir formen unsere Werkzeuge, und unsere Werkzeuge formen uns. Und wir benutzen unsere Werkzeuge, um unsere Umwelt zu formen, die natürlich auch uns formt. Kultur ist das Ergebnis dieser gegenseitigen Beeinflussung, und was ist Kultur anderes als eine Vielzahl von Memen?
Bei Bitcoin haben wir es mit einem unglaublichen meinungsbildenden Werkzeug zu tun, das eng mit uns verwoben ist. Ein Werkzeug, das ein Umfeld schafft, das lächerlich schwer zu ändern ist. Ich würde sogar so weit gehen zu sagen, dass einige Aspekte dieser seltsamen Meme-Werkzeug-Organismus-Umwelt-Schleife unmöglich zu ändern sind, da dies die Identität von Bitcoin und Bitcoinern gleichermaßen zerstören würde.
Für mich wird Bitcoin immer durch 21ismus definiert werden, auch wenn ich der letzte Mensch wäre, der an dieses Meme glauben würde. Anstelle dessen würde ich lieber auf dem Hügel von 21 Millionen sterben - allein und in Armut, mit dem Node in der Hand und zwölf Worten in meinem Kopf - als einer Erhöhung des Bitcoin-Angebots um 1 % zuzustimmen. (Buchvorschlag: Mandibles)
Es gibt diejenigen, die diese unveränderliche Umgebung akzeptieren, und diejenigen, die sie ablehnen, was natürlich zu einer Spaltung der Kultur führt.
Kulturelle Spaltungen
Wir erleben zweifelsohne eine Art Kulturkrieg. Links gegen Rechts, Rot gegen Schwarz, Based gegen Woke, Blue Bird gegen Purple Bird und Furries gegen normale Menschen. Es ist schwer, die Bruchlinien auszumachen, die diesem Krieg zugrunde liegen. Einige glauben, dass es auf Individualismus gegen Kollektivismus hinausläuft. Andere sehen es als Kapitalismus vs. Marxismus, selbstregulierende Ordnung vs. zentrale Planung. Wieder andere spekulieren, dass dieses Chaos mit dem Rückgang des religiösen Glaubens zusammenhängt, der eine Folge der nietzscheanischen Ermordung Gottes ist.
Alle diese Gründe mögen zutreffend oder teilweise zutreffend sein, aber für mich als Bitcoiner - als jemand, der die Graphen des "WTF geschah 1971" viele Male bestaunt hat - ist es schwer, etwas anderes als den Notstand des Fiat-Geldes als den Hauptgrund für das Chaos, das wir erleben, zu benennen. Für mich scheint es offensichtlich, dass diese verrückten Zeiten ein Ergebnis des Fiat-Geldsystems und der wirtschaftlichen sowie memetischen Konsequenzen sind, die es mit sich bringt. Es ist ein System, das völlig von der Realität abgekoppelt ist, ein künstliches und hochpolitisches Umfeld, das, ob wir es erkennen oder nicht, das wirtschaftliche Betriebssystem unserer Welt ist. Für mich lässt sich die Bruchlinie der Gesellschaft am besten als „Bitcoin vs. Fiat" zusammenfassen.
Seit 50 Jahren leben wir die Idee des Fiat-Geldes aus. Das Meme, dass die Art des Basisgeldes keine Rolle spielt, die hartnäckige Überzeugung, dass „wir es uns selbst schulden". Wir scheinen zu glauben, dass unsere kollektive Zukunft ein magischer goldener Topf ist - scheinbar ohne Boden -, aus dem wir uns immer und immer wieder etwas leihen können.
Ich glaube, dass wir uns in der Endphase des großen Fiat-Experiments befinden. Einmal mehr haben die arroganten Könige dieser Welt beschlossen, Gott zu spielen und sich in Kräfte einzumischen, die größer sind als sie, größer als wir. Wieder einmal müssen wir feststellen, dass das Drucken von Geld keinen wirklichen Wert schafft. Einmal mehr wird sich die Gesellschaft wandeln oder ganz zusammenbrechen, wie es in Ägypten, Rom und in vielen anderen Kulturen vor der unseren geschah. Und einmal mehr wird sich die Natur durchsetzen, indem sie Verwüstung anrichtet und alles ausrottet, was nicht mit ihr übereinstimmt. Seien es Ideen oder anderes.
„Als es nun an Geld gebrach im Lande Ägypten und in Kanaan, kamen alle Ägypter zu Josef und sprachen: Schaffe uns Brot! Warum lässt du uns vor dir sterben? Denn das Geld ist zu Ende."\ \ Mose 47:15
Diesmal ist das Fiat-Experiment jedoch nicht lokal begrenzt. Es ist nicht das Geld eines einzelnen Landes, das versagt, sondern das Meme des Fiat-Geldes selbst.
Geld drucken vs. das Geld in Ordnung bringen
Die Erkenntnis der Bedeutung des Geldes sowie der moralischen und kulturellen Implikationen der Natur des Geldes - und der Ethik der Geldproduktion - hat mein Weltbild unwiderruflich verändert. Als ich erkannte, dass Gelddrucken nichts anderes als eine Umverteilung von Reichtum ist und dass eine zentral geplante Umverteilung von Reichtum eine unmögliche Aufgabe ist - nicht nur rechnerisch, sondern auch moralisch -, dämmerte mir, dass Konfiszierung durch Inflation und andere Formen der unfreiwilligen Umverteilung nichts anderes ist als Diebstahl auf Umwegen. Das Fiat-System ist ein System der Sklaverei, und nein, das ist keine Übertreibung.
Aber hier ist die gute Nachricht: Bitcoin schafft hier Abhilfe.
Das ist unsere Meme-Welt, alle anderen leben nur darin.
Es gibt eine bestimmte Ethik, die in Bitcoin eingebettet ist, und es ist diese Ethik, die den Grundstein für die Meme bildet, die wir entstehen und sich verbreiten sehen. Wenn ich es in einem Satz zusammenfassen müsste, dann wäre es dieser: „Du sollst nicht stehlen." Wenn ich es in einer Zahl zusammenfassen müsste, dann wäre es natürlich 21 Millionen.
Die Motivation hinter der Erschaffung von Bitcoin ist zweifelsohne politisch, wie „Kanzlerin am Rande der zweiten Bankenrettung" und verschiedene Kommentare von Satoshi zeigen. So stimmte Satoshi zwar der Aussage zu, dass „sie in der Kryptographie keine Lösung für politische Probleme finden werden", aber er erwähnte auch, dass „wir eine wichtige Schlacht im Wettrüsten gewinnen und ein neues Territorium der Freiheit gewinnen können". Man beachte die Worte, die in dieser Aussage verwendet werden: ein Gebiet (Umfeld) der Freiheit (im Gegensatz zur Sklaverei).
Ich würde argumentieren, dass „eine große Schlacht gewinnen" eine Untertreibung ist, und ich würde auch argumentieren, dass die ursprüngliche Behauptung falsch ist, aber ich werde darauf zurückkommen.
Doch auch ohne diese Kommentare, selbst wenn die in den Genesis-Block eingebettete Botschaft „ooga chaka ooga ooga ooga chaka" lauten würde, wäre Bitcoin immer noch politisch. Ja, das daraus resultierende System ist unpolitisch, genau wie der Sonnenaufgang unpolitisch ist, aber der Akt der Schaffung von bitcoin ist ein politischer Akt. Er ist eine Aussage, eine Manifestation bestimmter Ideen, von Qualitätsmemes.
Vergleiche die in Bitcoin eingebettete Ethik (festes Angebot, keine erzwungene Umverteilung, kein kostenloses Mittagessen, keine Rettungsaktionen) mit der Ethik des Fiat-Geldes (endloses Angebot, zentral geplante Umverteilung, Rettungsaktionen für Freunde, alles ist erfunden) - oder, noch drastischer, mit der „Ethik" der Shitcoins, die nur Fiat-Geld auf Steroiden ist (jeder kann sein eigenes Geld drucken, nichts ist wichtig, Rugpulls sind lustig und Dickbutts sind im Grunde die Mona Lisa).
Ist es eine Überraschung, dass die Kultur rund um diese Phänomene so unterschiedlich ist? Oder ist „du wirst nichts besitzen und du wirst glücklich sein" einfach eine Folge des Mems, das Fiat-Geld ist? Ist der kulturelle Unterschied zwischen Bitcoinern und Shitcoinern ein natürliches Ergebnis der Meme, die in den verschiedenen Organismus-Umgebungen eingebettet sind und von diesen hervorgebracht werden?
Im Klartext bedeutet das Meme des Fiat-Geldes - die Idee, dass wir Geld aus dem Nichts erschaffen können und sollten - einfach zu sagen: „Ich weiß besser als der Markt, wie man Geld verteilt", was bedeutet, dass ich besser als alle anderen weiß, was gut und was schlecht ist, was wertvoll ist und was nicht, was notwendig und was überflüssig ist.
Die Frage, die das Fiat-System beantwortet, ist die folgende: Wer darf Geld fälschen und wie viel? Und wer darf Zugang zu Geld haben, und wer nicht? Die Antwort ist politisch und wird mit Gewalt durchgesetzt.
Das Bitcoin-System beantwortet dieselben Fragen, und die Antworten sind ebenso einfach wie ethisch: Niemand darf Geld fälschen, und jeder kann darauf zugreifen. Keine Ausnahmen.
Dies sind zwei sehr unterschiedliche Ideen, zwei sehr unterschiedliche Memes. Die eine wird im Fiat-System umgesetzt, die andere im Bitcoin-System. Das eine bricht aus den Nähten, das andere tuckert vor sich hin und wächst wirtschaftlich, rechnerisch und memetisch - alle 10 Minuten.
Bitcoin vs. Gold
Wenn es darum geht, die Grundursache vieler unserer Übel zu identifizieren, hatten die Goldanhänger (größtenteils) die richtige Idee. Aber sie hatten keine Möglichkeit, ihre Ideen auf sinnvolle und effektive Weise umzusetzen, die in der vernetzten Welt des 21. Das Meme des „gesunden Geldes" ist das richtige Mem, aber ohne eine Möglichkeit, dieses Meme effizient umzusetzen, hat das Meme keine Möglichkeit, sich in der Bevölkerung zu verbreiten.
So sieht es aus, liebe Goldfresser: Wir werden nicht zu einem Goldstandard zurückkehren. Gold hat in der Vergangenheit versagt, und es würde auch in der Zukunft versagen. Die Nützlichkeit des „Goldstandard"- Memes ist zu einem Ende gekommen. Das Überbleibsel seiner glorreichen Vergangenheit wird nur noch in der Linguistik zu finden sein.
„Warum", fragst du dich? Nun, zunächst einmal verbietet der physische Körper des Goldes die Teleportation, d. h. die elektronische Übertragung von Gold. Er verbietet die Unsichtbarkeit, d. h. die plausible Abstreitbarkeit des Besitzes. Bitcoin kann sofort teleportiert und perfekt versteckt werden. Man kann ihn im Kopf behalten, und niemand kann wissen, ob man Bitcoin tatsächlich besitzt oder nicht. Gold wird allein aus logistischen Gründen immer in Tresoren zentralisiert sein. Bitcoin muss das nicht sein. Gold wird sich immer mit einer bestimmten Rate aufblähen, da eine unbekannte Menge noch unter der Erde (und im Weltraum) liegt. Die Menge, die sich über der Erde befindet, ist ebenfalls unbekannt, da der weltweite Goldvorrat nicht einfach überprüft werden kann.
Im Gegensatz dazu ist Bitcoin absolut knapp und perfekt überprüfbar. Alle 10 Minuten wird der Gesamtvorrat an Bitcoin geprüft. Alle 10 Minuten wird der Emissionsplan überprüft. Alle 10 Minuten werden Milliarden von Sats endgültig und elektronisch, d.h. mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit, abgerechnet. Eine echte, physische Abrechnung. Global und sofort, ohne große Kosten oder Reibungsverluste. Alle 10 Minuten.
Das Gold-Meme wird sich noch eine Weile halten, und das ist auch gut so. Die Menschen sind nostalgisch, besonders wenn sie in ihren Gewohnheiten verhaftet sind. Wie bei wissenschaftlichen Revolutionen wird sich die monetäre Revolution, die derzeit im Gange ist, wahrscheinlich langsam verbreiten: eine Beerdigung nach der anderen.
Ich glaube jedoch, dass Bitcoin die Macht hat, die Köpfe und Herzen der Menschen sehr schnell zu gewinnen, wenn diese Köpfe offen oder kulturell angepasst genug sind; oder wenn die Veränderung in ihrem Umfeld drastisch genug ist.
Politik vs. Kultur
Kehren wir zu der Behauptung zurück, dass "du in der Kryptographie keine Lösung für politische Probleme finden werden". Ich habe bereits erwähnt, dass ich dem nicht zustimme, und hier ist der Grund. Politik ist der Kultur nachgelagert, und Kryptographie im Allgemeinen (und Bitcoin im Besonderen) verändert die Kultur.
Das sollte jedem außer dem blindesten Beobachter des Bitcoin-Bereichs sonnenklar sein. Die Kultur rund um Bitcoin ist durchdrungen von Verantwortung und Selbsteigentum („besitze deine eigenen Schlüssel" & „nicht deine Schlüssel, nicht dein Bitcoin"), Verifizierung und Schlussfolgerungen aus ersten Prinzipien ("vertraue nicht, verifiziere"), langfristigem Denken und Sparen für die Zukunft ("bleibe bescheiden, staple Sats"), sowie einem Fokus auf harte Arbeit, Integrität, Wahrheit und sichtbare Ergebnisse ("Proof-of-work, der Arbeitsnachweis").
Satoshi erkannte in wahrer Cypherpunk-Manier, dass Memes implementiert werden müssen, um sich möglichst effizient zu verbreiten, weshalb er sich hinsetzte und den Code schrieb. Es war auch der erste Test für die Tauglichkeit seiner Ideen, wie er in einem seiner vielen Forenbeiträge erwähnte: „Ich musste den ganzen Code schreiben, bevor ich mich selbst davon überzeugen konnte, dass ich jedes Problem lösen kann, und dann habe ich das Whitepaper geschrieben."
Das ist der Arbeitsnachweis, genau da. Das ist Anti-Fiat. Nicht nur darüber reden, sondern es auch tun. Mit gutem Beispiel vorangehen. Nicht nur über die Ideen spekulieren, die man im Kopf hat, die Memes, die man in der Welt verbreitet sehen möchte, sondern sie auch umsetzen. Das heißt, sie an der Realität zu messen.
„Lass deine Memes keine Träume sein."
Satoshi (paraphrasiert)
Ist es eine Überraschung, dass sich Bitcoin in den Bereichen „gesunde Ernährung", „gesunde Landwirtschaft", „freie Meinungsäußerung und Menschenrechte ausbreitet? Dass Bitcoin schnell und einfach von Menschen verstanden wird, die buchstäblich nahe am Boden sind, verbunden mit der grundlegenden Realität der Dinge? Ist es eine Überraschung, dass Bitcoin von denjenigen genutzt und verstanden wird, die es am meisten brauchen? Von denjenigen, die in Ländern leben, in denen das Geld versagt? Von denjenigen, die vom Fiat-System abgelehnt werden?
Das sollte keine Überraschung sein. Einige Kulturen haben eine natürliche Überschneidung mit der Bitcoin-Kultur, und es sind diese Kulturen, die Bitcoin zuerst annehmen werden. Frühe Beispiele sind die Cypherpunk-Kultur sowie die Kulturen rund um die österreichische Wirtschaft, den Libertarismus und das muslimische Finanzwesen. Wenn diese Kulturen Bitcoin annehmen, wird Bitcoin seinerseits diese Kulturen annehmen und dich beeinflussen. Ein für beide Seiten vorteilhafter Einfluss, wie er für alles, was langfristig überlebt, erforderlich ist, und wie er für die Symbiose, die die Natur darstellt, Standard ist. Der Organismus und das Umfeld, das durch die orangefarbene Münze und ihre Besitzer geschaffen wird, will überleben. Bitcoin: das egoistische Meme.
Natürlich gibt es auch Fiat-Meme. Es ist das, was unsere Kultur in den letzten 50 Jahren geprägt hat: „Fake it till you make it" und „YOLO" kommen mir in den Sinn, was interessanterweise die moderne Version der keynesianischen Idee ist, dass wir auf lange Sicht alle tot sind. Ist es verwunderlich, dass ein Umfeld, das durch falsches Geld geschaffen wurde, zu falschem Essen, falschen Körpern, falscher Gesundheit, falscher Medizin, falschen Beziehungen, falschen Experten und falschen Menschen führt?
Diejenigen, die an der Spitze der Fiat-Pyramide sitzen, sprechen von „nutzlosen Essern" und versuchen uns davon zu überzeugen, dass wir nichts besitzen müssen, aber trotzdem glücklich sein werden. Man muss sich über den Slogan wundern: „Du wirst nichts besitzen und du wirst glücklich sein".
„Du wirst ein glücklicher kleiner Sklave sein", heißt es in diesem Meme. Jemand hat beschlossen, dass Glück das ultimative Ziel ist, das es zu erreichen gilt, und du (und nur du) weißt, wie du es für dich erreichen können.
„Glück"
Als ob Glück das eigentliche Ziel wäre, das A und O, der Grund für unsere Existenz. Was ist mit dem Streben nach etwas Sinnvollem, etwas, das schwer ist, etwas, das Opfer erfordert, das Schmerz und Leid mit sich bringt?
\ „Jeder Mensch ist glücklich, bis das Glück plötzlich ein Ziel ist."
Oder was ist mit der Aussage von Lagarde, dass „wir glücklicher sein sollten, einen Arbeitsplatz zu haben, als dass unsere Ersparnisse geschützt sind?" Das ist Ausdruck eines bestimmten Memes, das sich in ihrem Kopf festgesetzt hat, des Mems, dass Arbeitsplatzsicherheit die meisten anderen Bedürfnisse übertrumpft und dass normale Menschen kein Vermögen anhäufen müssen. Schlimmer noch: Es suggeriert, dass es völlig in Ordnung ist, das zu stehlen, was normale Menschen durch fleißige Arbeit im Laufe ihres Lebens angespart haben.
Wir sollte glücklicher sein einen Job zu haben als das unsere Erparnisse geschützt werden. Christine Largarde Präsidentin der ECB, Oktober 2019
Es gibt einen Grund, warum wir vom „Rattenrennen" oder dem „Hamsterrad" sprechen und warum dieser Teil unserer Kultur in Kunst und Film so stark kritisiert wird. Um Tyler Durden zu zitieren: „Die Werbung bringt uns dazu, Autos und Klamotten zu jagen, Jobs zu machen, die wir hassen, damit wir Scheiß kaufen können, den wir nicht brauchen. Wir sind die mittleren Kinder der Geschichte, Mann. Wir haben keinen Sinn und keinen Platz. Wir haben keinen Großen Krieg. Keine Weltwirtschaftskrise. Unser großer Krieg ist ein spiritueller Krieg... unsere große Depression ist unser Leben. Wir sind alle durch das Fernsehen in dem Glauben erzogen worden, dass wir eines Tages alle Millionäre, Filmgötter und Rockstars sein werden. Aber das werden wir nicht. Und wir lernen diese Tatsache langsam kennen. Und wir sind sehr, sehr wütend."
Ich glaube jedoch nicht, dass die Menschen wütend sind. Ich glaube, dass die meisten Menschen deprimiert und nihilistisch sind. Sie sehen keinen Ausweg, sie sind hoffnungslos und haben sich mit ihrer Position im System abgefunden - ob bewusst oder unbewusst.
Nichts zeigt die Plackerei des Fiat-Rattenrennens besser als der kurze Animationsfilm „Happiness", der eine visuelle Reise durch die unerbittliche Suche des Menschen nach Erfüllung in der modernen Welt darstellt. Er setzt in Bilder um, was viele Menschen nicht in Worte fassen können. Hilflosigkeit, Sucht, Hoffnungslosigkeit. Eine Krise des Selbst, eine Krise des Sinns. Das Fehlen einer hoffnungsvollen Vision für die Zukunft.
„Ehrlich gesagt, ist es ziemlich deprimierend", so ein 44-jähriger Arbeiter, der allein im Wald festsitzt. „Ich habe versucht, einen Gedanken zu formulieren, ihn auszudrücken, ohne zusammenzubrechen und zu weinen. Aber ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich ihn weitergeben kann, ohne zu weinen."
„Mein Problem, einer der Gründe, warum ich hierher kommen wollte, war also, dass ich versuchen wollte, über den neuen Aspekt meines Lebens nachzudenken. Mit anderen Worten: nach den Kindern."
„Ein Mensch kann eine Menge Dinge ertragen, für jemanden, den er liebt. Die gleichen Dinge nur für sich selbst zu ertragen, ist nicht so einfach. Ich bin Elektriker. Man könnte meinen, das sei nicht so schwer, aber es sind viele sich wiederholende Aufgaben. Ich weiß, dass jeder seine eigene Arbeit hat, ich weiß, dass das einfach der Lauf der Welt ist. Aber für mich ist der Gedanke, dass ich weitere 15 Jahre meines Lebens damit verbringen muss, auf die Wochenenden zu warten, einfach eine Qual. Einfach nur die banale Qual des Ganzen..."
Schau dir bei Möglichkeit diesen Clip an. Es ist eine Sache, über das Meme des Rattenrennens zu theoretisieren; es ist eine andere Sache, einem erwachsenen Mann zuzusehen, der weinend zusammenbricht, nachdem er über sein Leben, das System, in das er eingebettet ist, und die Zukunft, die dieses System für ihn bereithält, nachgedacht hat. Nachdem er sich die Tränen weggewischt hat, spekuliert er darüber, was der Grund für seine depressive Stimmung sein könnte: „An diesem Ort kenne ich die Regeln. Es ist das Leben außerhalb dieses Ortes, das mich zum Weinen bringt."
Das ist es, nicht wahr? Regeln und Regeländerungen. Wenn du jemanden zutiefst deprimieren wollen, änderst du die Regeln, und zwar häufig. Zwingen du sie, etwas Sinnloses zu tun. Ändere die Regeln willkürlich. Das ist es, was die Menschen wirklich demoralisiert: in einem System willkürlicher Regeländerungen gefangen zu sein. Keine Hoffnung auf Stabilität und kein Ausweg.
Der Dritte Weltkrieg wird ein Guerilla-Informationskrieg sein, bei dem es keine Trennung zwischen militärischer und ziviler Beteiligung gibt. - Marshall McLuhan
Das Meme ist die Nachricht.
"Weißt du, jetzt habe ich es endlich verstanden. Über den Unterschied zwischen einem echten Krieg und einem globalen Guerillakrieg. Denn was wir jetzt haben, ist kein konventioneller Krieg mit scharfen Waffen. Mit militärischer Ehre, militärischen Rängen, militärischer Aktivität... Das ist ein Kulturkrieg. Wir haben die Unruhen. Wir haben die Unordnung. Und jetzt weiß ich wirklich, wie das funktioniert. Wenn die Unruhen vorbei sind, kann man nicht mehr sagen: „Ich habe mit Stolz gedient. Es spielt keine Rolle, auf welcher Seite man steht. Denn die Unruhen sind ein Krieg gegen den Stolz. Es ist ein Krieg gegen die Moral der Menschen. Man kann dem Feind nicht als Gleicher gegenübertreten. Jeder lebt im Schatten. Es ist immer verdeckt. Es ist immer gefälscht. Er ist immer erfunden. Und es kann keine Geschichte darüber geschrieben werden, weil alles abgeschottet ist."\ \ Bruce Sterling
Für die Geldpolitik gibt es im Fiat-System keine Regeln. „Die Regeln sind erfunden, und die Punkte sind egal", um Drew Carey zu zitieren. Die Realität hat Regeln, und wenn ein Fiat-System erst einmal aus dem Ruder gelaufen ist, dann ist es die Realität, die die Konsequenzen zieht, nicht das Fiat-System selbst.
Das Fiat-System ist kaputt; sein Geld ist wertlos; seine Kultur ist deprimiert und hoffnungslos. Wenn die Politik der Kultur nachgelagert ist, ist es dann eine Überraschung, dass unsere Politik größtenteils eine Clownshow ist, die nur auf Äußerlichkeiten und kurzfristige Ziele ausgerichtet ist? Wo gibt es Hoffnung in der hoffnungslosen Welt des fiat everything? Kaputte Ideen führen zu kaputten Umgebungen, die wiederum zu kaputten Organismen führen. Ist der Mensch erst einmal kaputt, wird er nicht in der Lage sein, seine Umwelt auf eine für alle Seiten vorteilhafte Weise zu verändern. Ganz im Gegenteil. Er wird in einer Abwärtsspirale aus Verzweiflung und Zerstörung feststecken und versuchen, „um jeden Preis" zu tun, was nötig ist.
Ohne Bitcoin sind die Aussichten für unsere Zukunft düster. Ohne Bitcoin hast du zwei Möglichkeiten: die schwarze Pille des Pessimismus oder das Soma des Nihilismus.
Es gibt einen Grund, warum die Leute sagen, dass Bitcoin Hoffnung ist.
Schwarze Pille vs. Orange Pille
Bitcoin ist Hoffnung, weil die Regeln von Bitcoin bekannt und stabil sind. Das Bitcoin-System ist wahnsinnig zuverlässig, funktioniert wie ein Uhrwerk, mit Regeln, die bekannt und in Stein gemeißelt sind. Es ist eine Umgebung mit eisenharten Zwängen, die ohne Herrscher durchgesetzt werden.
Es ist nicht nur das Gegenteil des Fiat-Systems, sondern auch sein Gegengift. Es ist nicht nur ein Rettungsboot, in das jeder einsteigen kann, der in Not ist, sondern auch ein Heilmittel, das Sinn und Optimismus gibt, wo es vorher keinen gab.
Es ist leicht, depressiv zu werden, wenn man die Übel des Fiat-Systems erkannt hat. Viele Bitcoiner, die heute von Optimismus erfüllt sind, waren hoffnungslos und fatalistisch, bevor sie die orangefarbene Pille schluckten. Viele Menschen sind es immer noch, Lionel Shriver und die meisten Goldfresser eingeschlossen.
Aber man muss bereit sein. Man kann sich nur selbst eine orangefarbene Pille geben, wie man sagt. Niemand kann dir Bitcoin aufzwingen.
Du müsstest eine Erleuchtung haben, dieselbe Erleuchtung wie unser 44-jähriger Elektriker im Wald, der über sein Leben nachdenkt. Kurz nach seinem Zusammenbruch und seinem Monolog darüber, dass er im Rattenrennen feststeckt, kommt er zu einer plötzlichen Erkenntnis: „Ich muss etwas ändern. Es ist nicht die Welt, die sich ändern muss. Es bin ich, der sich ändern muss. Es ist meine Einstellung zum Leben."
Ja. Was für ein Chad.
Das ist buchstäblich die Funktionsweise von Bitcoin.
Fiat Denkweise vs. Bitcoin Denkweise
\ Das Fiat-System wird nicht einfach verschwinden, und es wird auch nicht still und leise verschwinden. Zu viele Menschen sind immer noch mit dem Gedanken an leicht verdientes Geld infiziert, arbeiten in Scheißjobs und führen ein Fiat-Leben. Der Tod des Fiat-Organismus ist jedoch unausweichlich. Er ist selbstzerstörerisch, und wie alle Tiere, die in die Enge getrieben werden und am Rande des Todes stehen, wird er in einem letzten Versuch, das Unvermeidliche zu verhindern, um sich schlagen.
Piggies von artdesignbysf
„Unser großer Krieg ist ein spiritueller Krieg", wie Tyler Durden es so treffend formulierte. Und wir sind mittendrin in diesem Krieg.
Mit jedem Tag wird es offensichtlicher, dass dies ein geistiger Krieg ist. Ein Zusammenprall von Ideen, ein Kampf der unterschiedlichen Weltanschauungen.
Selbst der letzte Boss von Bitcoin, Augustin Carstens, weiß, dass dies ein Krieg ist. Warum sonst würde er, die Verkörperung des Fiat-Standards, im Fernsehen auftreten und Folgendes sagen?
„Vor ein paar Jahren wurden Kryptowährungen als Alternative zu Papiergeld dargestellt. Ich denke, diese Schlacht ist gewonnen. Eine Technologie macht noch kein vertrauenswürdiges Geld."
Augustin Carstens
Wenn wir uns nicht in einem memetischen Krieg befänden, warum wäre es dann notwendig zu erklären, dass eine Schlacht gewonnen wurde?
Wenn wir uns nicht mitten in einem spirituellen Krieg befinden würden, warum würde Christine Lagarde, eine Person, die wegen Fahrlässigkeit und Missbrauchs öffentlicher Gelder verurteilt wurde - eine Person, die jetzt Präsidentin der Europäischen Zentralbank ist - öffentlich erklären, dass wir Bitcoin auf globaler Ebene regulieren müssen, denn „wenn es einen Ausweg gibt, wird dieser Ausweg genutzt werden?"
Warum würde Stephen Lynch behaupten, dass Bitcoin „auf Null gehen wird, wenn wir ein CBDC entwickeln, das den vollen Glauben und Kredit der Vereinigten Staaten hinter sich hat?"
Warum würde Neel Kashkari, verrückt wie er ist, vor eine Kamera treten, um das Mem zu verbreiten, dass „es unendlich viel Bargeld in der Federal Reserve gibt", in der Hoffnung, dass diese Aussage das Vertrauen in das zusammenbrechende Fiat-System stärken würde?
Es ist fast unmöglich, sich diese Interviews anzusehen, ohne den Kopf zu schütteln. Glauben diese Menschen wirklich, was sie sagen? Ist es Böswilligkeit oder ist es Unwissenheit? Oder ist es einfach ein Auswuchs der verzerrten Weltsicht des Fiat-Verstandes? Sind diese Menschen nicht mehr zu retten, oder könnte Bitcoin sie sogar demütigen und sie auf den Pfad der Verantwortung und der Finanzdisziplin bringen?
Wie auch immer die Antwort lauten mag, die bloße Existenz von Bitcoin ist eine Beleidigung für ihr Denken, oder für jedes Fiat-Denken, was das betrifft. Bitcoin setzt die Idee außer Kraft, dass Geld vom Staat geschaffen werden muss. Seine Architektur sagt: „Jeder sollte Zugang zum Geldsystem haben". Sein Design sagt: „Wir sehen, was ihr getan habt, Fiat-Leute, und wir werden dem ein Ende setzen."
„Die Existenz von Bitcoin ist eine Beleidigung für den Fiat-Verstand."
\ Es ist ironisch, dass das, was die meisten Fiat-Leute zuerst sehen, die Schlachtrufe der Bitcoiner sind, die „HODL!" schreien und „wir werden euch obsolet machen" von den Dächern schreien. Du übersiehst die tiefere Wahrheit dieser Memes, die Tatsache, dass diese Meme der tiefen Überzeugung entspringen, dass ein mathematisch und thermodynamisch gesundes System einem politischen System vorzuziehen ist. Sie hören weder das Brummen der ASICs, noch achten sie auf die gültigen Blöcke, die unaufhörlich eintreffen. Alle 10 Minuten wird leise geflüstert: „Du sollst nicht stehlen."
Das laute und prahlerische Oberflächenphänomen lässt sich leicht ins Lächerliche ziehen und abtun. Der zutiefst technische, wirtschaftliche und spieltheoretische Organismus, der die 21 Millionen zustande bringt, nicht so sehr. Beide sind im Wachstum begriffen. Beide sind miteinander verwoben. Das eine kann ohne das andere nicht existieren.
Fiat-Selbst vs. Bitcoin-Selbst
\ Beim ersten Kontakt wird der Bitcoin von den meisten abgetan. In einer Welt, die vom Fiat-Standard beherrscht wird, sind die meisten Menschen nicht in der Lage, die orangefarbene Münze zu verstehen, wenn sie zum ersten Mal über sie stolpern. Ich denke, man kann mit Sicherheit sagen, dass die meisten Bitcoiner es nicht sofort „verstanden" haben. Ich habe es anfangs sicherlich nicht verstanden.
Die Reise vieler Bitcoiner lässt sich wie folgt zusammenfassen:
- Was zum Teufel ist das?
- Was zum Teufel ist das?
- Was zur Hölle?
- Die Scheiße?
- Scheiße...
- All in.
Der Prozess des Verstehens und der Annahme von Bitcoin ist der Prozess des Verlassens deines Fiat-Selbst hinter sich. Man muss die Fiat-Memes aus dem Kopf bekommen und die Bitcoin-Memes hineinlassen. Du musst dein Fiat-Selbst ausbrennen und dein Bitcoin-Selbst aufbauen. Tag für Tag, Aktion für Aktion, Block für Block.
Indem du am System der Fiat-Schuldensklaverei teilnimmst, verstärkst du das Meme der sofortigen Befriedigung, der Diskontierung der Zukunft für die Gegenwart, des falschen Geldes und des kurzfristigen Denkens. Indem du am Bitcoin-System teilnimmst, stärkst du das Mem des gesunden Geldes, des unelastischen Angebots, des langfristigen Denkens, der Verantwortung und der unveräußerlichen Eigentumsrechte.
„Man kann die Revolution nicht kaufen. Man kann die Revolution nicht machen. Du kannst nur die Revolution sein. Sie ist in deinem Geist, oder sie ist nirgendwo." - Ursula K. Le Guin
Verstehe mich nicht falsch. Es ist nichts falsch daran, in den Fiat-Minen zu arbeiten und bescheiden Sats zu stapeln. Es ist eines der wichtigsten Dinge, die du tun kannst. Das Stapeln von Sats gibt dir Freiheit, Kontrolle und Selbstständigkeit. Es ermöglicht dir, sich in eine Position der Stabilität und Stärke zu manövrieren, und ehe du dich versiehst, wird der einfache Akt des demütigen Stapelns und der Liebe zu deinem zukünftigen dich selbst verändern.
Der wahre Kampf ist ein persönlicher Kampf. Den Drang zu unterdrücken, etwas umsonst haben zu wollen. Die Gewohnheit der sofortigen Befriedigung aufzugeben und eine Kultur des langfristigen Denkens aufzubauen. Ablehnung von impulsiven Ausgaben, Akzeptanz von Opfern und Einschränkungen.
Die Beziehung zwischen Ihnen und der Welt ist transaktional, wie John Dewey uns lehrte. Nicht nur unsere physischen Körper sind an unsere physische Umgebung gebunden, sondern wir sind auch über die ebenso reale wirtschaftliche Umgebung, an der wir uns beteiligen, miteinander verbunden. Und mit jedem Dollar, den wir ausgeben, und jedem Satoshi, den wir sparen, erschaffen wir unsere Zukunft.
Es gibt eine Weggabelung. Das Schild auf der einen Seite sagt: „Du wirst nichts besitzen und du wirst glücklich sein". Das Schild auf der anderen Seite sagt: „Du wirst Bitcoin besitzen und du wirst die beste Version deiner selbst sein."
Die Wahl liegt bei dir.
Bitcoin hat die Macht, die beste Version von sich selbst hervorzubringen, weil die Anreize von Bitcoin auf gegenseitige Verbesserung ausgerichtet sind. Auf individueller Ebene erfordert der Besitz von Bitcoin eine Änderung der Zeitpräferenz und der Verantwortung. Der Besitz impliziert, dass man seine eigenen Schlüssel besitzt. Wenn du das nicht tun, besitzts du keine Bitcoin, sondern Schuldscheine. Es bedeutet auch, dass du deinen eigenen Knotenpunkt betreiben, um zu überprüfen, ob du tatsächlich Bitcoin besitzen. Wenn man das nicht tut, vertraut man auf das Wort eines anderen, verlässt sich auf seine Sicht von Bitcoin, seine Weltsicht und darauf, dass er einen nicht anlügt.
Darüber hinaus bedeutet der fortgesetzte Besitz von Bitcoin, dass man die Verantwortung übernimmt, einen Wert für die Gesellschaft zu schaffen. Geld tut nichts anderes, als zu zirkulieren, also musst etwas leisten, das andere Menschen als wertvoll empfinden. Wenn du das nicht tust, wirst du bald keine Bitcoin mehr haben. Die Natur wird dich dazu zwingen, dich von deinen Sats zu trennen, denn jeder - auch du - muss essen.
„Beschäftige dich mit dem Sinn des Lebens, wirf leere Hoffnungen beiseite, engagiere dich für deine eigene Rettung - wenn du dich überhaupt um dich selbst kümmerst - und tue es, solange du kannst."\ \ Marcus Aurelius
Der Bitcoin-Weg ist kein einfacher Weg, aber ein erfüllender. Er ist erfüllend, weil du die Regeln kennst, du kennst die Konsequenzen, und du hast die Verantwortung. Es ist ein Weg, der es dir erlaubt, dein Leben so zu gestalten, wie du es für richtig hältst, aber du musstes auch selbst gestalten. Es ist ein Weg, der es dir ermöglicht, sich vor Übergriffen und Diebstahl zu schützen, und der langfristige Sicherheit und Stabilität bietet. Aber du musst ihn gehen. Du musst mitmachen. Du musst ihn ausleben.
Du musst dein Fiat-Selbst ausbrennen und die einfachen Antworten, die Abkürzungen und den Scheinwert hinter dir lassen. Du musst etwas Reales anbieten, jemand Reales sein und im Falle des Scheiterns die realen Konsequenzen tragen.
Die Grenze zwischen Gut und Böse verläuft nicht nur in jedermanns Herzen, sondern auch die Grenze zwischen Fiat und Bitcoin verläuft ebenfalls in jedermanns Herzen. Es geht nicht um „wir gegen sie". Es geht um unser Fiat-Selbst gegen unser Bitcoin-Selbst. Persönliche Verantwortung vs. vorsätzliche Ignoranz. Systemische Fragilität vs. langfristige Stabilität. Mit jeder Handlung triffst du eine Entscheidung, und du hast keine andere Wahl als zu handeln.
Es gibt eine Weggabelung, und jeder Einzelne von uns muss sich entscheiden, welchen Weg er einschlagen will. Den scheinbar bequemen Weg, den die Machthaber vorgeben, oder den Bitcoin-Weg: hart, steinig, mit Höhen und Tiefen, ohne Sicherheitsnetze und ohne Rettungsaktionen. Es ist kein einfacher Weg, aber es ist ein schöner Weg. Ein Weg, der Geduld, Verantwortung und Disziplin lehrt. Ein Weg, der dich demütig macht. Ein sinnvoller Weg. Ein Weg, den zu gehen sich lohnt.
Früher war es ein einsamer Weg, aber das ist er nicht mehr. Früher war es ein verrückter Weg. Heute ist der Weg zu mehr Freiheit der verrückte Weg. Es ist ein langer Weg, ein täglicher Kampf. Und niemand außer dir kann diesen Weg gehen. Ich würde dir gerne sagen, dass ich dich auf dem Gipfel treffe, aber ich fürchte, es gibt keinen Gipfel. Ich treffe dich stattdessen auf dem Weg.

2025-05-15 15:31:45Capitalism is the most effective system for scaling innovation. The pursuit of profit is an incredibly powerful human incentive. Most major improvements to human society and quality of life have resulted from this base incentive. Market competition often results in the best outcomes for all.
That said, some projects can never be monetized. They are open in nature and a business model would centralize control. Open protocols like bitcoin and nostr are not owned by anyone and if they were it would destroy the key value propositions they provide. No single entity can or should control their use. Anyone can build on them without permission.
As a result, open protocols must depend on donation based grant funding from the people and organizations that rely on them. This model works but it is slow and uncertain, a grind where sustainability is never fully reached but rather constantly sought. As someone who has been incredibly active in the open source grant funding space, I do not think people truly appreciate how difficult it is to raise charitable money and deploy it efficiently.
Projects that can be monetized should be. Profitability is a super power. When a business can generate revenue, it taps into a self sustaining cycle. Profit fuels growth and development while providing projects independence and agency. This flywheel effect is why companies like Google, Amazon, and Apple have scaled to global dominance. The profit incentive aligns human effort with efficiency. Businesses must innovate, cut waste, and deliver value to survive.
Contrast this with non monetized projects. Without profit, they lean on external support, which can dry up or shift with donor priorities. A profit driven model, on the other hand, is inherently leaner and more adaptable. It is not charity but survival. When survival is tied to delivering what people want, scale follows naturally.
The real magic happens when profitable, sustainable businesses are built on top of open protocols and software. Consider the many startups building on open source software stacks, such as Start9, Mempool, and Primal, offering premium services on top of the open source software they build out and maintain. Think of companies like Block or Strike, which leverage bitcoin’s open protocol to offer their services on top. These businesses amplify the open software and protocols they build on, driving adoption and improvement at a pace donations alone could never match.
When you combine open software and protocols with profit driven business the result are lean, sustainable companies that grow faster and serve more people than either could alone. Bitcoin’s network, for instance, benefits from businesses that profit off its existence, while nostr will expand as developers monetize apps built on the protocol.
Capitalism scales best because competition results in efficiency. Donation funded protocols and software lay the groundwork, while market driven businesses build on top. The profit incentive acts as a filter, ensuring resources flow to what works, while open systems keep the playing field accessible, empowering users and builders. Together, they create a flywheel of innovation, growth, and global benefit.

2025-05-17 06:44:56CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
“Yes, thank you,” he repeated, eyes sharp. “Because in your rejection, I found purpose. In your insults, I found strength. And now, here I stand not as a man shaped by wealth but as a man forged in fire.”
The room went silent. A solemn kind of reverence now filled the air.
“I will not seek revenge,” James continued. “That’s not the legacy I want. But I will hold people accountable. And this… is just the beginning.”
Helen trembled in her seat. Mark felt sweat roll down his back. Even Susan and Robert felt the sting of those words.
“JP Enterprises,” James said, lifting his glass in a toast, “was built on vision, perseverance, and truth. And under my leadership, it will rise higher than ever before. For those willing to build, I welcome you. For those still plotting destruction…”
He let his words hang in the air, cold and final.
“…you won’t last long.”
The crowd erupted into an ovation once again, this time standing as they clapped.
Mrs. JP hugged her son once more. Mr. JP’s proud expression never faltered.
As the celebration continued, Helen slowly rose and left the hall in silence, not from shame but from a new, burning bitterness. Mark followed shortly behind her, furious whispers passing between them.
Tracy stayed seated, her face pale, her hands unmoving. She couldn’t stop replaying James’s words in her mind.
And James? He turned to the side of the stage and saw Rita standing there, tears glistening in her eyes, pride glowing on her face. She had seen the fall. Now she was witnessing the rise.
The moment was thick with silence. All eyes in the grand ballroom turned toward the center of the unfolding drama like magnets drawn to chaos. Cameras flashed. Murmurs rippled like waves through the crowd. Mr. JP, still standing on the stage beside his wife and son, narrowed his gaze.
The young lady, her face stained with tears and regret, dropped to her knees before James, her voice shaking but loud enough for everyone to hear.
“I’m sorry!” she cried. “Please forgive me… I… I was bribed! I was paid to come here and create a scene to disgrace you, to ruin your name”
James raised a brow, his face calm as stone.
The lady’s hand trembled as she pointed directly at two guests sitting stiffly in the second row. “It was them… Mark and Helen! They paid me. They told me to pretend I was your sister… I didn’t know it would go this far. I was desperate, and they offered me money!”
Gasps exploded in the room. Faces turned to Mark and Helen like a spotlight shifting focus. The weight of public scrutiny came crashing down.
“Lies!” Helen sprang up from her seat, her voice shrill and cracking. “She’s making it up! This is ridiculous! Why would I stoop so low?”
Mark stood next to her, adjusting his blazer as sweat gathered on his brow. “We’ve never seen this woman in our lives! She’s obviously been put up to this to frame us!”
James stepped forward, every inch the man now known as the true heir of JP Enterprises. “You both seem very quick to deny,” he said coolly, his gaze fixed like iron. “Are you implying this entire company, this crowd, and my family are foolish enough to believe a random accusation without evidence?”
“I’m saying this is staged,” Helen snapped, but her voice lacked its usual bite.
Before James could speak again, his uncle Charles walked toward the stage with a tablet in hand. “That’s interesting, because we already have transactional proof of your payments to her. Digital receipts. Surveillance footage. Voice recordings.” He held the tablet high. “Would you like me to play the part where you told her to make sure she cries in front of the cameras?”
The ballroom went utterly still.
Helen took a step back, her face paling. Mark's jaw clenched. “This… this can’t be real…”
“Oh, it’s very real,” James replied, his tone low and calm. “You thought you were playing chess while I was playing checkers. But I already saw the board long before you made your first move.”
Reporters surged forward, microphones extended, camera flashes dancing like strobe lights.
“Is this true, Mr. Mark? Ms. Helen?” “Were you behind the attempted defamation?” “Do you have any statement to make regarding the scandal?”
Helen was trembling now, her poise cracking under pressure. “You set us up!” she screamed. “You and your entire perfect little company, this is all a setup!”
“You did that yourself,” James said, his voice steady. “You tried to ruin me twice. Once in silence. Once in public. But the truth always finds light.”
Mr. JP raised his hand for silence. “I want them arrested,” he said firmly, turning to the uniformed security now entering the hall. “For defamation, for conspiracy, and for fraud.”
Helen turned to Mark. “Do something!”
Mark shook his head. “We’re finished…”
As the two were taken away by security, the entire room burst into conversations. Guests who had once smiled at Helen and Mark now recoiled. Their masks were gone. The truth was unveiled.
James turned to the young lady who was still kneeling. “You may go,” he said simply. “Justice isn’t yours to carry, it belongs to the law now.”
She nodded, tears falling anew, and left without a word.
Mrs. JP walked to her son’s side, taking his hand. “You’ve done well, James. Not just as a leader but as a man.”
Mr. JP smiled too, pride replacing the sternness in his eyes. “You’ve proven to this company and to this city that truth and integrity still win.”
James gave a slow nod, then stepped to the podium as the crowd turned toward him, waiting, hoping.
“I didn’t build JP Enterprises,” he said. “My father did. And many of you helped. But I will carry it forward. And I will protect it not just from failure, but from corruption.”
The ballroom quieted as James stepped down from the podium. The echoes of the applause still lingered like the gentle aftertaste of a vintage wine. People parted as he walked no longer the man whispered about in shadows, but the man now held in reverence. His walk was steady, composed. Every step was weighted with the dignity of a man who had not only reclaimed his name but risen far above the ones who tried to bury it.
Behind him, Helen and Mark were escorted out under the bright, unforgiving lights of press cameras and the judgment of a hundred curious eyes. There were no more veils to hide behind. No more pretense. Their downfall was no longer a quiet, whispered hope it was reality.
Outside the hall, as the night air kissed the courtyard, James stood with his mother, father, and Uncle Charles. Sandra and Rita joined them, both proud, both silent for a moment until Mrs. JP broke the silence.

2025-05-01 17:59:51In nicht allzu vielen Jahren wird die Zahl der Bitcoiner in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika zehn Millionen überschreiten. Wenn wir diesen Meilenstein erreichen, ist das Spiel vorbei: Bitcoin gewinnt.
Mein Lieblingsautor und -denker, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, schrieb in seinem Buch Skin in the Game über "die unnachgiebige Minderheit". Das Konzept funktioniert folgendermaßen: Auf fast allen verpackten Lebensmitteln, die in den USA verkauft werden, ist außen ein kleines U in einem Kreis aufgedruckt. Nur sehr wenige US-Bürger benötigen die durch dieses U gekennzeichnete Koscher-Zertifizierung, aber für die Lebensmittelhersteller ist es einfacher, nicht für jedes Produkt zwei separate Versionen zu produzieren, so dass sie im Allgemeinen alles koscher machen. Nach Taleb gilt die Regel: „Ein koscherer Esser wird niemals nicht-koschere Lebensmittel essen, aber einem nicht-koscheren Esser ist es nicht verboten, koscher zu essen."
„Bei den meisten beobachteten komplexen Systemen liegt der Anteil der Minderheit, der erforderlich ist, um die Bevölkerung von ihrer unnachgiebigen Meinung abzubringen, in der Größenordnung von 3 bis 4%. Bei einer US-Bevölkerung von 325 Millionen sind 3% 10 Millionen." - Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Ein Fintech-Fonds, der seit 2012 im Bitcoin-Bereich tätig ist, hat kürzlich eine intensive Analyse durchgeführt, die zur besten Schätzung des Bitcoin-Besitzes geführt hat, die ich kenne. Nur 7 Millionen Menschen weltweit haben einen Wert von 100 Dollar oder mehr im Bitcoin-Protokoll gespeichert. Um die Zahlen zu runden, nehmen wir an, dass die Hälfte dieser Menschen in den USA lebt und dass ein Siebtel von ihnen einen höheren Wert als $2500 in BTC speichert. Das sind gerade einmal 500.000 US-Bürger mit einer bedeutenden Menge an Bitcoin. Und wie viel Prozent davon verstehen und interessieren sich tatsächlich so sehr für Bitcoin, dass sie dafür kämpfen würden? Lass uns großzügig sein und sagen wir 20%.
Es gibt ungefähr 100.000 Bitcoiner in den Vereinigten Staaten. Das bedeutet, dass wir eine 100-fache Steigerung benötigen, um das Niveau einer "unnachgiebigen Minderheit" zu erreichen. Das ist der Grund, warum die Akzeptanz alle anderen Prioritäten für Bitcoin dominiert.
„Bitcoiner haben bereits so viele potentielle Angriffsvektoren ausgeschaltet und so viel FUD gehandhabt, dass es nicht mehr viel Abwärtsrisiko für Bitcoin gibt." - Cory Klippsten
Ein weiteres Konzept, auf das sich Taleb in den fünf Bänden seines Incerto bezieht, ist: Schütze dich vor dem Abwärtsrisiko. Bitcoiner haben bereits so viele potentielle Angriffsvektoren ausgeschaltet und so viel FUD gehandhabt, dass es nicht mehr viel Abwärtsrisiko für Bitcoin gibt. Aber es gibt ein gewisses Risiko, egal ob man es mit unter 1%, unter 10% oder mehr beziffert. Und der bei weitem bedrohlichste Angriffsvektor wäre meiner Meinung nach eine konzertierte Aktion der US-Regierung auf vielen Ebenen, die versucht, Bitcoin auszurotten, um die Hegemonie des Dollars auf der ganzen Welt zu erhalten.
Um es klar zu sagen: Bitcoin würde selbst den konzertiertesten und bösartigsten Angriff der US-Regierung überleben. Er könnte sogar gedeihen, im Stil von Antifragile (ein weiteres Buch von Taleb), mit Menschen auf der ganzen Welt, die massenhaft Sats kaufen, wenn sie sehen, wie der frühere Hegemon ausschlägt. Es könnte aber auch anders kommen, mit einem massiven Rückgang der Netzwerkaktivität und des gespeicherten Wertes, mit Tausenden von Menschenleben, die irreparabel gestört werden, und mit einer Verzögerung unserer leuchtend orangenen Zukunft um Jahrzehnte oder länger.
Das ist für mich nicht hinnehmbar. Deshalb habe ich mein Leben der Rekrutierung der anderen 99% unserer unnachgiebigen Bitcoiner-Minderheit hier in den Vereinigten Staaten gewidmet. Es gibt bereits 100.000 von uns. Helfe mit, die anderen 9,9 Millionen zu rekrutieren.

2025-05-01 17:29:18High-Level Overview
Bitcoin developers are currently debating a proposed change to how Bitcoin Core handles the
OP_RETURN
opcode — a mechanism that allows users to insert small amounts of data into the blockchain. Specifically, the controversy revolves around removing built-in filters that limit how much data can be stored using this feature (currently capped at 80 bytes).Summary of Both Sides
Position A: Remove OP_RETURN Filters
Advocates: nostr:npub1ej493cmun8y9h3082spg5uvt63jgtewneve526g7e2urca2afrxqm3ndrm, nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg, nostr:npub17u5dneh8qjp43ecfxr6u5e9sjamsmxyuekrg2nlxrrk6nj9rsyrqywt4tp, others
Arguments: - Ineffectiveness of filters: Filters are easily bypassed and do not stop spam effectively. - Code simplification: Removing arbitrary limits reduces code complexity. - Permissionless innovation: Enables new use cases like cross-chain bridges and timestamping without protocol-level barriers. - Economic regulation: Fees should determine what data gets added to the blockchain, not protocol rules.
Position B: Keep OP_RETURN Filters
Advocates: nostr:npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk, nostr:npub1s33sw6y2p8kpz2t8avz5feu2n6yvfr6swykrnm2frletd7spnt5qew252p, nostr:npub1wnlu28xrq9gv77dkevck6ws4euej4v568rlvn66gf2c428tdrptqq3n3wr, others
Arguments: - Historical intent: Satoshi included filters to keep Bitcoin focused on monetary transactions. - Resource protection: Helps prevent blockchain bloat and abuse from non-financial uses. - Network preservation: Protects the network from being overwhelmed by low-value or malicious data. - Social governance: Maintains conservative changes to ensure long-term robustness.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths of Removing Filters
- Encourages decentralized innovation.
- Simplifies development and maintenance.
- Maintains ideological purity of a permissionless system.
Weaknesses of Removing Filters
- Opens the door to increased non-financial data and potential spam.
- May dilute Bitcoin’s core purpose as sound money.
- Risks short-term exploitation before economic filters adapt.
Strengths of Keeping Filters
- Preserves Bitcoin’s identity and original purpose.
- Provides a simple protective mechanism against abuse.
- Aligns with conservative development philosophy of Bitcoin Core.
Weaknesses of Keeping Filters
- Encourages central decision-making on allowed use cases.
- Leads to workarounds that may be less efficient or obscure.
- Discourages novel but legitimate applications.
Long-Term Consequences
If Filters Are Removed
- Positive: Potential boom in new applications, better interoperability, cleaner architecture.
- Negative: Risk of increased blockchain size, more bandwidth/storage costs, spam wars.
If Filters Are Retained
- Positive: Preserves monetary focus and operational discipline.
- Negative: Alienates developers seeking broader use cases, may ossify the protocol.
Conclusion
The debate highlights a core philosophical split in Bitcoin: whether it should remain a narrow monetary system or evolve into a broader data layer for decentralized applications. Both paths carry risks and tradeoffs. The outcome will shape not just Bitcoin's technical direction but its social contract and future role in the broader crypto ecosystem.

2025-05-15 01:22:34เมื่อพูดถึง Bitcoin Standard หลายคนมักนึกถึงภาพโลกอนาคตที่ทุกคนใช้บิตคอยน์ซื้อกาแฟหรือของใช้ในชีวิตประจำวัน ภาพแบบนั้นดูเหมือนไกลตัวและเป็นไปไม่ได้ในความเป็นจริง หลายคนถึงกับพูดว่า “คงไม่ทันเห็นในช่วงชีวิตนี้หรอก” แต่ในมุมมองของผม Bitcoin Standard อาจไม่ได้เริ่มต้นจากการที่เราจ่ายบิตคอยน์โดยตรงในร้านค้า แต่อาจเริ่มจากบางสิ่งที่เงียบกว่า ลึกกว่า และเกิดขึ้นแล้วในขณะนี้ นั่นคือ การล่มสลายทีละน้อยของระบบเฟียตที่เราใช้กันอยู่
ระบบเงินที่อิงกับอำนาจรัฐกำลังเข้าสู่ช่วงขาลง รัฐบาลทั่วโลกกำลังจมอยู่ในภาระหนี้ระดับประวัติการณ์ แม้แต่ประเทศมหาอำนาจก็เริ่มแสดงสัญญาณของภาวะเสี่ยงผิดนัดชำระหนี้ อัตราเงินเฟ้อกลายเป็นปัญหาเรื้อรังที่ไม่มีท่าทีจะหายไป ธนาคารที่เคยโอนฟรีเริ่มกลับมาคิดค่าธรรมเนียม และประชาชนก็เริ่มรู้สึกถึงการเสื่อมศรัทธาในระบบการเงินดั้งเดิม แม้จะยังพูดกันไม่เต็มเสียงก็ตาม
ในขณะเดียวกัน บิตคอยน์เองก็กำลังพัฒนาแบบเงียบ ๆ เงียบ... แต่ไม่เคยหยุด โดยเฉพาะในระดับ Layer 2 ที่เริ่มแสดงศักยภาพอย่างจริงจัง Lightning Network เป็น Layer 2 ที่เปิดใช้งานมาได้ระยะเวลสหนึ่ง และยังคงมีบทบาทสำคัญที่สุดในระบบนิเวศของบิตคอยน์ มันทำให้การชำระเงินเร็วขึ้น มีต้นทุนต่ำ และไม่ต้องบันทึกทุกธุรกรรมลงบล็อกเชน เครือข่ายนี้กำลังขยายตัวทั้งในแง่ของโหนดและการใช้งานจริงทั่วโลก
ขณะเดียวกัน Layer 2 ทางเลือกอื่นอย่าง Ark Protocol ก็กำลังพัฒนาเพื่อตอบโจทย์ด้านความเป็นส่วนตัวและประสบการณ์ใช้งานที่ง่าย BitVM เปิดแนวทางใหม่ให้บิตคอยน์รองรับ smart contract ได้ในระดับ Turing-complete ซึ่งทำให้เกิดความเป็นไปได้ในกรณีใช้งานอีกมากมาย และเทคโนโลยีที่น่าสนใจอย่าง Taproot Assets, Cashu และ Fedimint ก็ทำให้การออกโทเคนหรือสกุลเงินที่อิงกับบิตคอยน์เป็นจริงได้บนโครงสร้างของบิตคอยน์เอง
เทคโนโลยีเหล่านี้ไม่ใช่การเติบโตแบบปาฏิหาริย์ แต่มันคืบหน้าอย่างต่อเนื่องและมั่นคง และนั่นคือเหตุผลที่มันจะ “อยู่รอด” ได้ในระยะยาว เมื่อฐานของความน่าเชื่อถือไม่ใช่บริษัท รัฐบาล หรือทุน แต่คือสิ่งที่ตรวจสอบได้และเปลี่ยนกฎไม่ได้
แน่นอนว่าบิตคอยน์ต้องแข่งขันกับ stable coin, เงินดิจิทัลของรัฐ และ cryptocurrency อื่น ๆ แต่สิ่งที่ทำให้มันเหนือกว่านั้นไม่ใช่ฟีเจอร์ หากแต่เป็นความทนทาน และความมั่นคงของกฎที่ไม่มีใครเปลี่ยนได้ ไม่มีทีมพัฒนา ไม่มีบริษัท ไม่มีประตูปิด หรือการยึดบัญชี มันยืนอยู่บนคณิตศาสตร์ พลังงาน และเวลา
หลายกรณีใช้งานที่เคยถูกทดลองในโลกคริปโตจะค่อย ๆ เคลื่อนเข้ามาสู่บิตคอยน์ เพราะโครงสร้างของมันแข็งแกร่งกว่า ไม่ต้องการทีมพัฒนาแกนกลาง ไม่ต้องพึ่งกลไกเสี่ยงต่อการผูกขาด และไม่ต้องการ “ความเชื่อใจ” จากใครเลย
Bitcoin Standard ที่ผมพูดถึงจึงไม่ใช่การเปลี่ยนแปลงแบบพลิกหน้ามือเป็นหลังมือ แต่คือการ “เปลี่ยนฐานของระบบ” ทีละชั้น ระบบการเงินใหม่ที่อิงอยู่กับบิตคอยน์กำลังเกิดขึ้นแล้ว มันไม่ใช่โลกที่ทุกคนถือเหรียญบิตคอยน์ แต่มันคือโลกที่คนใช้อาจไม่รู้ตัวด้วยซ้ำว่า “สิ่งที่เขาใช้นั้นอิงอยู่กับบิตคอยน์”
ผู้คนอาจใช้เงินดิจิทัลที่สร้างบน Layer 3 หรือ Layer 4 ผ่านแอป ผ่านแพลตฟอร์ม หรือผ่านสกุลเงินใหม่ที่ดูไม่ต่างจากเดิม แต่เบื้องหลังของระบบจะผูกไว้กับบิตคอยน์
และถ้ามองในเชิงพัฒนาการ บิตคอยน์ก็เหมือนกับอินเทอร์เน็ต ครั้งหนึ่งอินเทอร์เน็ตก็ถูกมองว่าเข้าใจยาก ต้องพิมพ์ http ต้องรู้จัก TCP/IP ต้องตั้ง proxy เอง แต่ปัจจุบันผู้คนใช้งานอินเทอร์เน็ตโดยไม่รู้ว่าเบื้องหลังมีอะไรเลย บิตคอยน์กำลังเดินตามเส้นทางเดียวกัน โปรโตคอลกำลังถอยออกจากสายตา และวันหนึ่งเราจะ “ใช้มัน” โดยไม่ต้องรู้ว่ามันคืออะไร
หากนับจากช่วงเริ่มต้นของอินเทอร์เน็ตในยุค 1990 จนกลายเป็นโครงสร้างหลักของโลกในสองทศวรรษ เส้นเวลาของบิตคอยน์ก็กำลังเดินตามรอยเท้าของอินเทอร์เน็ต และถ้าเราเชื่อว่าวัฏจักรของเทคโนโลยีมีจังหวะของมันเอง เราก็จะรู้ว่า Bitcoin Standard นั้นไม่ใช่เรื่องของอนาคตไกลโพ้น แต่มันเกิดขึ้นแล้ว

2025-05-09 23:10:14I. 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.

2025-05-16 19:23:58This article was originally part of the sermon of Plebchain Radio Episode 110 (May 2, 2025) that nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqpqtvqc82mv8cezhax5r34n4muc2c4pgjz8kaye2smj032nngg52clq7fgefr and I did with nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skuep0qyt8wumn8ghj7ct4w35zumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcqyzx4h2fv3n9r6hrnjtcrjw43t0g0cmmrgvjmg525rc8hexkxc0kd2rhtk62 and nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqpq4wxtsrj7g2jugh70pfkzjln43vgn4p7655pgky9j9w9d75u465pqahkzd0 of the nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skuep0qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcqyqwfvwrccp4j2xsuuvkwg0y6a20637t6f4cc5zzjkx030dkztt7t5hydajn

Bitcoin has always been a narrative revolution disguised as code. White paper, cypherpunk lore, pizza‑day legends - every block is a paragraph in the world’s most relentless epic. But code alone rarely converts the skeptic; it’s the camp‑fire myth that slips past the prefrontal cortex and shakes hands with the limbic system. People don’t adopt protocols first - they fall in love with protagonists.
Early adopters heard the white‑paper hymn, but most folks need characters first: a pizza‑day dreamer; a mother in a small country, crushed by the cost of remittance; a Warsaw street vendor swapping złoty for sats. When their arcs land, the brain releases a neurochemical OP_RETURN which says, “I belong in this plot.” That’s the sly roundabout orange pill: conviction smuggled inside catharsis.
That’s why, from 22–25 May in Warsaw’s Kinoteka, the Bitcoin Film Fest is loading its reels with rebellion. Each documentary, drama, and animated rabbit‑hole is a stealth wallet, zipping conviction straight into the feels of anyone still clasped within the cold claw of fiat. You come for the plot, you leave checking block heights.
Here's the clip of the sermon from the episode:

2025-05-17 05:14:41The cryptocurrency landscape, once dominated by wild price swings and volatile tokens like Bitcoin and Ethereum, is witnessing a quiet but seismic shift. Stablecoins cryptocurrencies pegged to traditional assets like the U.S. dollar are increasingly taking center stage. While not as flashy as their high-flying cousins, stablecoins are proving to be the most functional and widely adopted segment of the crypto universe. Simply put: stablecoins are eating crypto.
What are stablecoins?
Stablecoins are digital assets designed to maintain a stable value relative to a fiat currency or commodity. The most popular stablecoins, such as Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), and DAI, are typically pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar. Their stability makes them ideal for transactions, trading, and storing value, especially in the notoriously volatile crypto markets.
There are three main types of stablecoins:
- Fiat-collateralized: Backed by reserves of fiat currencies held in bank accounts.
- Crypto-collateralized: Backed by other cryptocurrencies, usually overcollateralized to handle volatility.
- Algorithmic: Maintain their peg through supply-and-demand algorithms without actual reserves (e.g., the failed TerraUSD).
The rise in utility
What started as a tool for traders to hedge volatility has become the backbone of decentralized finance (DeFi), cross-border remittances, and even some central bank strategies. Stablecoins now play multiple roles:
- Medium of exchange: Unlike Bitcoin, which is rarely used in daily transactions due to its fluctuating price, stablecoins are ideal for payments.
- Liquidity providers: In DeFi, stablecoins serve as the base currency for lending, borrowing, and yield farming.
- Trading pairs: A large percentage of crypto trading volume is denominated in stablecoins, not in Bitcoin or fiat.
Growing market share
As of mid-2025, stablecoins represent a multi-hundred-billion-dollar market. Tether remains the largest by market cap, followed by USDC. Their total volume now rivals or in some days, exceeds that of Bitcoin and Ethereum. According to data from multiple crypto analytics platforms, stablecoins accounted for more than 70% of on-chain transaction volume in early 2025, highlighting their dominance in practical use cases.
Central banks and regulation
Stablecoins are also reshaping conversations around monetary sovereignty. Central banks are watching closely, with some developing their own Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) to compete. Meanwhile, regulators are scrambling to craft frameworks to oversee stablecoin issuers, particularly around reserve transparency and systemic risk.
The U.S. and EU are working toward legislation requiring stablecoin issuers to hold audited 1:1 reserves and submit to regular oversight, essentially treating them like narrow banks. The goal: harness the efficiency of stablecoins without compromising financial stability.
Why stablecoins are winning
- Trust and predictability: In crypto, stability is a feature, not a bug. Traders and users prefer assets they can rely on for everyday transactions.
- Interoperability: Stablecoins are blockchain-agnostic and can be used across multiple networks like Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon.
- Programmability: They bring the efficiency of smart contracts to money itself, enabling automated, low-cost transactions.
- Global access: Stablecoins offer dollar exposure to users in countries with unstable local currencies, providing financial inclusion with just a smartphone.
The ironic future
Ironically, the original vision of cryptocurrencies decentralized, uncensorable money has been somewhat sidelined by stablecoins, which often rely on centralized issuers and custodians. The dream of Bitcoin as digital cash is being fulfilled not by Bitcoin itself, but by stablecoins. That paradox lies at the heart of stablecoins’ quiet conquest.
Conclusion
Stablecoins may not grab headlines like Bitcoin bull runs or Ethereum upgrades, but their steady, practical growth is transforming crypto from a speculative playground into a functional financial ecosystem. As regulation crystallizes and usage continues to rise, stablecoins are not just part of the crypto industry they're becoming its foundation. And in doing so, they're slowly but surely eating the rest of crypto alive.

2025-05-17 03:21:54ยังมีเรื่องราวของน้ำตาล และ เซลล์ มาคุยกันต่อนะครับ เพราะยังมีคนสงสัยอยู่ว่า เอ้ย ตกลงต้องห่วงการ Spike&Staylong ของอินซุลินอยู่หรือเปล่า แล้วถ้าเราไม่ spike&staylong ก็คือกินคาร์บเบาๆตลอดวันได้เลยใช่ไหมก็มันไม่ spike&staylong แล้วนี่ โอเคครับ เรามาเปิดผับกันอีกครั้ง
คราวก่อนนั้นเราคุยกันเรื่อง ผับน้ำตาลกันไปแล้วนะครับว่า เมื่ออินซูลิน spike สูง และค้างนาน เหมือนเปิดผับแล้ววัยรุ่นแห่กันเข้ามาเที่ยว จนพีอาร์เมาจัด
เผื่อใครจำไม่ได้ ย้อนให้นิดๆครับ ว่าให้ลองนึกภาพว่าเฮียเปิดผับอยู่ดี ๆ ลูกค้าหลั่งไหลเข้ามารัว ๆ เหมือนมีโปรเบียร์ 1 แถม 10 ตอนสามทุ่ม ทุกโต๊ะสั่งข้าวเหนียวหมูปิ้งพร้อมเบียร์น้ำแข็งเต็มโต๊ะ นักเที่ยวก็ยังแห่เข้าผับแบบไม่มีพัก อินซูลินซึ่งเป็นเหมือน “พีอาร์” ที่ต้องจัดการรับแขก (หรือรับน้ำตาลเข้าสู่เซลล์) ก็เลยต้องทำงานหนักแบบ non-stop
อินซูลินเป็นฮอร์โมนสำคัญที่ช่วยเอาน้ำตาลในเลือดเข้าไปเก็บในเซลล์ ถ้า spike ทีเดียวสูงมาก เซลล์ก็รีบดูดน้ำตาลเข้าไปเต็มที่จนเกินพิกัด เหมือนผับที่แน่นจนปิดประตูไม่ลง
ถ้าเหตุการณ์แบบนี้เกิดขึ้นบ่อย ๆ ร่างกายจะเริ่มรู้สึกว่า “ทำไมอินซูลินถึงต้องออกมาบ่อยขนาดนี้วะ?” ระบบก็เริ่มปิดรับแขก เซลล์เริ่มไม่อยากตอบสนอง เพราะมันเหนื่อย มันชิน และมันก็เริ่ม “ดื้ออินซูลิน”
ผลที่ตามมาเมื่อ spike สูงและค้าง สิ่งที่ตามมา... คือความปั่นป่วนในร่างกายอย่างต่อเนื่อง น้ำตาลลอยค้างในเลือด ไปจับกับโปรตีนจนกลายเป็นเจ้า AGEs ตัวร้าย ไขมันก็ถูกสร้างมากขึ้น ล้นเข้าไปสะสมในตับ ในพุง ในซอกที่ร่างกายไม่รู้จะเก็บไว้ตรงไหนแล้ว สมองก็เบลอ ใจวูบ ง่วงงุน... เหมือนเข้าเวรประชุมยาวแบบไม่มีกาแฟ ฮอร์โมนที่เคยเป็นทีมงานสามัคคี ก็เริ่มทะเลาะกันเอง อินซูลินงอน leptin งง ghrelin งวย
แล้วถ้าเราไม่ spike แต่กินคาร์บจุ๋มจิ๋มทั้งวันล่ะ? พอรู้ว่าการเปิดผับแจกคาร์บแบบจัดหนักไม่ดี หลายคนก็ปรับกลยุทธ์ใหม่ มาแนวสายสุขุมว่า “งั้นเปิดผับแบบเนิบ ๆ ก็แล้วกัน… ไม่จัดปาร์ตี้ใหญ่ แต่มีแขกแวะเข้ามาทั้งวัน” ฟังดูดีใช่ไหม? แต่เอาเข้าจริง มันเหนื่อยไม่แพ้กันเลย
ลองนึกภาพว่าประเทศไม่มีเคอร์ฟิว เฮียเปิดผับที่มีลูกค้าเดินเข้าออกไม่หยุด ไม่ได้มากันเป็นฝูงแบบรอบโปรโมชั่น แต่มาเรื่อย ๆ แบบชั่วโมงละโต๊ะ สองโต๊ะ พีอาร์ อินซูลิน ก็เลยต้องยืนต้อนรับแขกตลอดเวลา ไม่มีเวลานั่งพัก ไม่มีช่วงเปลี่ยนกะ ไม่มีเวลาปิดไฟเก็บโต๊ะ คือทำงานต่อเนื่องยาว ๆ ตั้งแต่ 8 โมงเช้า ยัน 8 โมงเช้า สุดท้าย ผับก็เปิดไฟยันสว่าง อินซูลินก็กลายเป็นพนักงานกะดึกตลอดชีพ และเมื่อไม่มีเวลา “พักผับ” ระบบหลังบ้านก็ไม่เคยได้ฟื้นฟูเลย
ภาพรวมของการกินจุ๋มจิ๋มทั้งวันแบบนี้นั้น - เผาผลาญไขมันไม่ออกเลย เพราะอินซูลินทำหน้าที่เหมือนไฟบนเวที ถ้ายังเปิดไฟอยู่ “เครื่องดูดไขมันหลังร้าน” มันก็ไม่ทำงาน - แม่บ้านทำความสะอาดก็เข้าไม่ได้ เพราะแขกเดินเข้าเดินออกตลอด ระบบกำจัดที่ควรจะได้ล้างของเสียในเซลล์ ก็เลยโดนขัดจังหวะตลอด - พนักงานเหนื่อยสะสมจากงานไม่มีหยุด ทำให้เกิดความเครียดสะสมในร่างกาย ฮอร์โมนรวน อารมณ์ก็แปรปรวนง่ายขึ้น หิวเก่งขึ้น ทั้งที่เพิ่งกินไป
เปิดผับแบบคึกคักจัดเต็มทีเดียว แล้วปิดยาว หรือ เปิดทั้งวันแบบไม่มีช่วงปิด สุดท้ายพังทั้งคู่
ทีนี้เราน่าจะพอเห็นภาพร่างคร่าวๆ ของการบริหารการจัดการน้ำตาลในตัวเราได้แล้วนะครับ ว่าจะไดเอทไหนก็ตาม การบริหารการจัดการฮอร์โมนส์ คือสิ่งสำคัญไม่แพ้เรื่องอื่นๆ แม้จะไม่ใช่เรื่องสำคัญที่สุดในสายตาใครก็ตาม
นี่เป็นเพียงจุดเริ่มต้นการเรียนรู้เล็กๆ ซึ่งเส้นทางสายที่เรียกว่า ร่างกาย มันยังไปไกลอีกลิบลับเลยครับ ไม่ว่าจะจังหวัดคอติซอล จังหวัดพฤกษเคมี จังหวัดพลังงาน จังหวัดสารอาหาร แถมลักษณะร่างกายแต่ละคน ก็เปรียบเหมือนรถต่างยี่ห้อ ต่างน้ำมันขับเคลื่อน ต่างซีซี หรือแม้ว่าจะเหมือนกัน ก็ยังต่างปี ต่างไมล์การขับขี่

2025-04-30 17:52:11A Vision for #GitViaNostr
Git has long been the standard for version control in software development, but over time, we has lost its distributed nature. Originally, Git used open, permissionless email for collaboration, which worked well at scale. However, the rise of GitHub and its centralized pull request (PR) model has shifted the landscape.
Now, we have the opportunity to revive Git's permissionless and distributed nature through Nostr!
We’ve developed tools to facilitate Git collaboration via Nostr, but there are still significant friction that prevents widespread adoption. This article outlines a vision for how we can reduce those barriers and encourage more repositories to embrace this approach.
First, we’ll review our progress so far. Then, we’ll propose a guiding philosophy for our next steps. Finally, we’ll discuss a vision to tackle specific challenges, mainly relating to the role of the Git server and CI/CD.
I am the lead maintainer of ngit and gitworkshop.dev, and I’ve been fortunate to work full-time on this initiative for the past two years, thanks to an OpenSats grant.
How Far We’ve Come
The aim of #GitViaNostr is to liberate discussions around code collaboration from permissioned walled gardens. At the core of this collaboration is the process of proposing and applying changes. That's what we focused on first.
Since Nostr shares characteristics with email, and with NIP34, we’ve adopted similar primitives to those used in the patches-over-email workflow. This is because of their simplicity and that they don’t require contributors to host anything, which adds reliability and makes participation more accessible.
However, the fork-branch-PR-merge workflow is the only model many developers have known, and changing established workflows can be challenging. To address this, we developed a new workflow that balances familiarity, user experience, and alignment with the Nostr protocol: the branch-PR-merge model.
This model is implemented in ngit, which includes a Git plugin that allows users to engage without needing to learn new commands. Additionally, gitworkshop.dev offers a GitHub-like interface for interacting with PRs and issues. We encourage you to try them out using the quick start guide and share your feedback. You can also explore PRs and issues with gitplaza.
For those who prefer the patches-over-email workflow, you can still use that approach with Nostr through gitstr or the
ngit send
andngit list
commands, and explore patches with patch34.The tools are now available to support the core collaboration challenge, but we are still at the beginning of the adoption curve.
Before we dive into the challenges—such as why the Git server setup can be jarring and the possibilities surrounding CI/CD—let’s take a moment to reflect on how we should approach the challenges ahead of us.
Philosophy
Here are some foundational principles I shared a few years ago:
- Let Git be Git
- Let Nostr be Nostr
- Learn from the successes of others
I’d like to add one more:
- Embrace anarchy and resist monolithic development.
Micro Clients FTW
Nostr celebrates simplicity, and we should strive to maintain that. Monolithic developments often lead to unnecessary complexity. Projects like gitworkshop.dev, which aim to cover various aspects of the code collaboration experience, should not stifle innovation.
Just yesterday, the launch of following.space demonstrated how vibe-coded micro clients can make a significant impact. They can be valuable on their own, shape the ecosystem, and help push large and widely used clients to implement features and ideas.
The primitives in NIP34 are straightforward, and if there are any barriers preventing the vibe-coding of a #GitViaNostr app in an afternoon, we should work to eliminate them.
Micro clients should lead the way and explore new workflows, experiences, and models of thinking.
Take kanbanstr.com. It provides excellent project management and organization features that work seamlessly with NIP34 primitives.
From kanban to code snippets, from CI/CD runners to SatShoot—may a thousand flowers bloom, and a thousand more after them.
Friction and Challenges
The Git Server
In #GitViaNostr, maintainers' branches (e.g.,
master
) are hosted on a Git server. Here’s why this approach is beneficial:- Follows the original Git vision and the "let Git be Git" philosophy.
- Super efficient, battle-tested, and compatible with all the ways people use Git (e.g., LFS, shallow cloning).
- Maintains compatibility with related systems without the need for plugins (e.g., for build and deployment).
- Only repository maintainers need write access.
In the original Git model, all users would need to add the Git server as a 'git remote.' However, with ngit, the Git server is hidden behind a Nostr remote, which enables:
- Hiding complexity from contributors and users, so that only maintainers need to know about the Git server component to start using #GitViaNostr.
- Maintainers can easily swap Git servers by updating their announcement event, allowing contributors/users using ngit to automatically switch to the new one.
Challenges with the Git Server
While the Git server model has its advantages, it also presents several challenges:
- Initial Setup: When creating a new repository, maintainers must select a Git server, which can be a jarring experience. Most options come with bloated social collaboration features tied to a centralized PR model, often difficult or impossible to disable.
-
Manual Configuration: New repositories require manual configuration, including adding new maintainers through a browser UI, which can be cumbersome and time-consuming.
-
User Onboarding: Many Git servers require email sign-up or KYC (Know Your Customer) processes, which can be a significant turn-off for new users exploring a decentralized and permissionless alternative to GitHub.
Once the initial setup is complete, the system works well if a reliable Git server is chosen. However, this is a significant "if," as we have become accustomed to the excellent uptime and reliability of GitHub. Even professionally run alternatives like Codeberg can experience downtime, which is frustrating when CI/CD and deployment processes are affected. This problem is exacerbated when self-hosting.
Currently, most repositories on Nostr rely on GitHub as the Git server. While maintainers can change servers without disrupting their contributors, this reliance on a centralized service is not the decentralized dream we aspire to achieve.
Vision for the Git Server
The goal is to transform the Git server from a single point of truth and failure into a component similar to a Nostr relay.
Functionality Already in ngit to Support This
-
State on Nostr: Store the state of branches and tags in a Nostr event, removing reliance on a single server. This validates that the data received has been signed by the maintainer, significantly reducing the trust requirement.
-
Proxy to Multiple Git Servers: Proxy requests to all servers listed in the announcement event, adding redundancy and eliminating the need for any one server to match GitHub's reliability.
Implementation Requirements
To achieve this vision, the Nostr Git server implementation should:
-
Implement the Git Smart HTTP Protocol without authentication (no SSH) and only accept pushes if the reference tip matches the latest state event.
-
Avoid Bloat: There should be no user authentication, no database, no web UI, and no unnecessary features.
-
Automatic Repository Management: Accept or reject new repositories automatically upon the first push based on the content of the repository announcement event referenced in the URL path and its author.
Just as there are many free, paid, and self-hosted relays, there will be a variety of free, zero-step signup options, as well as self-hosted and paid solutions.
Some servers may use a Web of Trust (WoT) to filter out spam, while others might impose bandwidth or repository size limits for free tiers or whitelist specific npubs.
Additionally, some implementations could bundle relay and blossom server functionalities to unify the provision of repository data into a single service. These would likely only accept content related to the stored repositories rather than general social nostr content.
The potential role of CI / CD via nostr DVMs could create the incentives for a market of highly reliable free at the point of use git servers.
This could make onboarding #GitViaNostr repositories as easy as entering a name and selecting from a multi-select list of Git server providers that announce via NIP89.

Git Client in the Browser
Currently, many tasks are performed on a Git server web UI, such as:
- Browsing code, commits, branches, tags, etc.
- Creating and displaying permalinks to specific lines in commits.
- Merging PRs.
- Making small commits and PRs on-the-fly.
Just as nobody goes to the web UI of a relay (e.g., nos.lol) to interact with notes, nobody should need to go to a Git server to interact with repositories. We use the Nostr protocol to interact with Nostr relays, and we should use the Git protocol to interact with Git servers. This situation has evolved due to the centralization of Git servers. Instead of being restricted to the view and experience designed by the server operator, users should be able to choose the user experience that works best for them from a range of clients. To facilitate this, we need a library that lowers the barrier to entry for creating these experiences. This library should not require a full clone of every repository and should not depend on proprietary APIs. As a starting point, I propose wrapping the WASM-compiled gitlib2 library for the web and creating useful functions, such as showing a file, which utilizes clever flags to minimize bandwidth usage (e.g., shallow clone, noblob, etc.).
This approach would not only enhance clients like gitworkshop.dev but also bring forth a vision where Git servers simply run the Git protocol, making vibe coding Git experiences even better.
song
nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 created song with a complementary vision that has shaped how I see the role of the git server. Its a self-hosted, nostr-permissioned git server with a relay baked in. Its currently a WIP and there are some compatability with ngit that we need to work out.
We collaborated on the nostr-permissioning approach now reflected in nip34.
I'm really excited to see how this space evolves.
CI/CD
Most projects require CI/CD, and while this is often bundled with Git hosting solutions, it is currently not smoothly integrated into #GitViaNostr yet. There are many loosely coupled options, such as Jenkins, Travis, CircleCI, etc., that could be integrated with Nostr.
However, the more exciting prospect is to use DVMs (Data Vending Machines).
DVMs for CI/CD
Nostr Data Vending Machines (DVMs) can provide a marketplace of CI/CD task runners with Cashu for micro payments.
There are various trust levels in CI/CD tasks:
- Tasks with no secrets eg. tests.
- Tasks using updatable secrets eg. API keys.
- Unverifiable builds and steps that sign with Android, Nostr, or PGP keys.
DVMs allow tasks to be kicked off with specific providers using a Cashu token as payment.
It might be suitable for some high-compute and easily verifiable tasks to be run by the cheapest available providers. Medium trust tasks could be run by providers with a good reputation, while high trust tasks could be run on self-hosted runners.
Job requests, status, and results all get published to Nostr for display in Git-focused Nostr clients.
Jobs could be triggered manually, or self-hosted runners could be configured to watch a Nostr repository and kick off jobs using their own runners without payment.
But I'm most excited about the prospect of Watcher Agents.
CI/CD Watcher Agents
AI agents empowered with a NIP60 Cashu wallet can run tasks based on activity, such as a push to master or a new PR, using the most suitable available DVM runner that meets the user's criteria. To keep them running, anyone could top up their NIP60 Cashu wallet; otherwise, the watcher turns off when the funds run out. It could be users, maintainers, or anyone interested in helping the project who could top up the Watcher Agent's balance.
As aluded to earlier, part of building a reputation as a CI/CD provider could involve running reliable hosting (Git server, relay, and blossom server) for all FOSS Nostr Git repositories.
This provides a sustainable revenue model for hosting providers and creates incentives for many free-at-the-point-of-use hosting providers. This, in turn, would allow one-click Nostr repository creation workflows, instantly hosted by many different providers.
Progress to Date
nostr:npub1hw6amg8p24ne08c9gdq8hhpqx0t0pwanpae9z25crn7m9uy7yarse465gr and nostr:npub16ux4qzg4qjue95vr3q327fzata4n594c9kgh4jmeyn80v8k54nhqg6lra7 have been working on a runner that uses GitHub Actions YAML syntax (using act) for the dvm-cicd-runner and takes Cashu payment. You can see example runs on GitWorkshop. It currently takes testnuts, doesn't give any change, and the schema will likely change.
Note: The actions tab on GitWorkshop is currently available on all repositories if you turn on experimental mode (under settings in the user menu).
It's a work in progress, and we expect the format and schema to evolve.
Easy Web App Deployment
For those disapointed not to find a 'Nostr' button to import a git repository to Vercel menu: take heart, they made it easy. vercel.com_import_options.png there is a vercel cli that can be easily called in CI / CD jobs to kick of deployments. Not all managed solutions for web app deployment (eg. netlify) make it that easy.
Many More Opportunities
Large Patches via Blossom
I would be remiss not to mention the large patch problem. Some patches are too big to fit into Nostr events. Blossom is perfect for this, as it allows these larger patches to be included in a blossom file and referenced in a new patch kind.
Enhancing the #GitViaNostr Experience
Beyond the large patch issue, there are numerous opportunities to enhance the #GitViaNostr ecosystem. We can focus on improving browsing, discovery, social and notifications. Receiving notifications on daily driver Nostr apps is one of the killer features of Nostr. However, we must ensure that Git-related notifications are easily reviewable, so we don’t miss any critical updates.
We need to develop tools that cater to our curiosity—tools that enable us to discover and follow projects, engage in discussions that pique our interest, and stay informed about developments relevant to our work.
Additionally, we should not overlook the importance of robust search capabilities and tools that facilitate migrations.
Concluding Thoughts
The design space is vast. Its an exciting time to be working on freedom tech. I encourage everyone to contribute their ideas and creativity and get vibe-coding!
I welcome your honest feedback on this vision and any suggestions you might have. Your insights are invaluable as we collaborate to shape the future of #GitViaNostr. Onward.

2025-05-09 13:56:57Someone 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.

2025-04-29 08:20:58Die Satire Muxmäuchenstill von 2004 erzählt die Geschichte des 30-jährigen Mux, der seine Mitbürgern zu mehr Verantwortungsbewusstsein erziehen möchte. Dazu stellt er Raser, Schwarzfahrer, Graffiti-Sprüher, Falschparker, Ladendiebe und Vergewaltiger, konfrontiert sie mit ihrem Verhalten und bestraft sie.
https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/muxmauschenstill-x-interview-mit-jan-henrik-stahlberg?
Als Mitstreiter gewinnt er Arbeits- und Obdachlose. Mux’ fanatische Ein-Mann-Mission wächst zu einem kleinen Unternehmen. Auch privat kann er seinen Moralismus nicht zügeln und erschießt seine Freundin. Am Ende des Films wird er von einem Raser überfahren.
Ab 1. Mai läuft die Fortsetzung in den Kinos: Muxmäuschenstill X: muxfilm.de/. Nach zwanzig Jahre Wachkoma findet sich Mux in einer Welt wieder, die er nicht mehr versteht: dem wunderbaren Neoliberalismus. Wieder möchte Mux die Menschen erziehen. Doch diesmal kämpft er gegen ein System, das alles durchdringt, die Welt spaltet, unsere Lebensgrundlagen zerstört, die Reichen reicher macht und die Armen ärmer. Mux gründet den Muxismus und schart die Aussortierten des Systems um sich.
Drehbuchautor und Hauptdarsteller Jan Henrik Stahlberg führt diesmal auch Regie. Unser Autor Jonny Rieder hat mit Jan Henrik Stahlberg über seinen neuen Film gesprochen. Zunächst wollte er wissen, wo für ihn die Grenze verläuft zwischen Übergriffigkeit und Zivilcourage und wie er Mux hier einordnet.

2025-05-17 01:49:33This article is a repost, migrating from Substack
Uncertainty is the only constant
It goes without saying that uncertainty is a given in business. It could be the weather, pestilence, or some other physical phenomenon that brings different conditions for your business (good or bad). Or it could be uncertainty in the behaviour of consumers, suppliers, workers, or any other person critical to your success. Most of the time, we just don’t know what will happen next.
One of the most important skills in managing a business, then, is making predictions in the face of uncertainty. We have several tools to do so. The first covers methods from the physical sciences, and involves calculating the frequency of events. We need to unpick a concept at the root of uncertainty, probability.

Types of probability
In Human Action, Ludwig von Mises introduces us to two classifications of probability: case and class probability.
Case probability
Case probability is when we know something about some of the factors which determine the outcome, but not others.
This is the kind of probability most often encountered in business. We often know small key parts about several factors that lead to a particular outcome, we might see that oil prices have risen significantly, coupled with a decrease in the exchange rate. These factors help to lead to the outcome of a rising price of fertiliser. But then, there are other factors that lead to this outcome, such as a myriad of decisions by businesspeople all along the supply chain. These, we know absolutely nothing about!
Class probability
Class probability is when we know everything about the particular kind (or class) of event, but we don’t know anything at all about the specific event.
We do encounter class probability in business. But it happens at very specific times (as opposed to just all the time, as with case probability).
Myrtle rust, picture courtesy of NZ Department of Conservation
For example (and sticking to agriculture) we know nothing about an outbreak of Myrtle rust on our farm. But we know, from agricultural science, that the likelihood of an outbreak in our area for a given year is about 13 percent.
So how can we make predictions of these events?
Making predictions
For the latter (class probabilities, like losses caused by Myrtle rust) we can always rely on methods from the physical sciences to calculate frequencies. Then, we know that the physical world has certain constants, so we can say that given a set of conditions (like rainfall) the likelihood of losses from Myrtle rust in future is about 12 percent.
Thinking about the former (case probabilities such as changing consumer preferences, or changes in prices). In these situations we are dealing with the realm of human decisions. So while we can count the number of these events, we cannot use these counts for prediction. The reason is that, in the realm of human decisions, there are no constants. We can’t say that given the world of 2023 prices rose five times, therefore in the world of 2027 prices will rise five times. Even if physical conditions are the same, human decisions will not be.
Luckily, economic science does give us an answer. In dealing with case probabilities we should use our method of understanding (which I wrote about here).
Using this in your business
You can incorporate this knowledge into your business by critically analysing each event for which you need to make a prediction. Is the event dealing with the physical world, for which there are constants? Or is it the realm of human decisions, for which there are no constants? It most likely is a mix of these.
Work backwards and jot down the more granular events which compose the event in question. Then try again to fit each of these into case or class probability.
When each event is broken down into only one category you know which methods of prediction to apply to each event.
For case probabilities, engage a specialist in the area. For class probabilities, engage your own expertise in understanding, and consider hiring an economist to augment your analysis.

2025-04-28 00:48:57I have been recently building NFDB, a new relay DB. This post is meant as a short overview.
Regular relays have challenges
Current relay software have significant challenges, which I have experienced when hosting Nostr.land: - Scalability is only supported by adding full replicas, which does not scale to large relays. - Most relays use slow databases and are not optimized for large scale usage. - Search is near-impossible to implement on standard relays. - Privacy features such as NIP-42 are lacking. - Regular DB maintenance tasks on normal relays require extended downtime. - Fault-tolerance is implemented, if any, using a load balancer, which is limited. - Personalization and advanced filtering is not possible. - Local caching is not supported.
NFDB: A scalable database for large relays
NFDB is a new database meant for medium-large scale relays, built on FoundationDB that provides: - Near-unlimited scalability - Extended fault tolerance - Instant loading - Better search - Better personalization - and more.
Search
NFDB has extended search capabilities including: - Semantic search: Search for meaning, not words. - Interest-based search: Highlight content you care about. - Multi-faceted queries: Easily filter by topic, author group, keywords, and more at the same time. - Wide support for event kinds, including users, articles, etc.
Personalization
NFDB allows significant personalization: - Customized algorithms: Be your own algorithm. - Spam filtering: Filter content to your WoT, and use advanced spam filters. - Topic mutes: Mute topics, not keywords. - Media filtering: With Nostr.build, you will be able to filter NSFW and other content - Low data mode: Block notes that use high amounts of cellular data. - and more
Other
NFDB has support for many other features such as: - NIP-42: Protect your privacy with private drafts and DMs - Microrelays: Easily deploy your own personal microrelay - Containers: Dedicated, fast storage for discoverability events such as relay lists
Calcite: A local microrelay database
Calcite is a lightweight, local version of NFDB that is meant for microrelays and caching, meant for thousands of personal microrelays.
Calcite HA is an additional layer that allows live migration and relay failover in under 30 seconds, providing higher availability compared to current relays with greater simplicity. Calcite HA is enabled in all Calcite deployments.
For zero-downtime, NFDB is recommended.
Noswhere SmartCache
Relays are fixed in one location, but users can be anywhere.
Noswhere SmartCache is a CDN for relays that dynamically caches data on edge servers closest to you, allowing: - Multiple regions around the world - Improved throughput and performance - Faster loading times
routerd
routerd
is a custom load-balancer optimized for Nostr relays, integrated with SmartCache.routerd
is specifically integrated with NFDB and Calcite HA to provide fast failover and high performance.Ending notes
NFDB is planned to be deployed to Nostr.land in the coming weeks.
A lot more is to come. 👀️️️️️️

Du hast auch begrenzte Zeit um Bitcoin zu verstehen und zu nutzen.
Also, wie bestimmst du nun wie du deine begrenzte Zeit sinnvoll einsetzt?
Weg #1: Shitcoiner/Altcoiner
Dein Tag als Shitcoiner:
- Schaue viele Youtube Videos mit den Vorschaubildern von Kerlen mit offenem Mund, weil die dich mit einfach mit den besten Informationen versorgen
- Den Preis von einem dutzend Kryptowährungen mindestens ein paar hundertmal checken
- Ehrfurchtsvoll Krypto Trading Charts lesen
- Sicher gehen, dass du niemals deine Performance in BTC misst, da dies dir zeigen könnte, dass Shitcoins doch nicht so eine gute Idee ist
- Das Internet nach Informationen durchforstest, welcher Coin als nächstes groß rauskommen wird um dabei nach folgenden Schema vorzugehen:\ - Versuche frühzeitig zu kaufen\ - Versuche nicht abgezockt zu werden\ - Dann schnell verkaufen\ - Einen großen Teil des Gewinns direkt ans Finanzamt abdrücken\ - Und nun alles wieder von vorn!\ \ VERTRAU MIR JUNGE, SO WERDEN WIR ALLE MILLIONÄRE!!!!
- Achtung (!), du brauchst nur den passenden Guru oder Online Trading Berater, der dir sagt welche Kryptowährung und dir stündlich, die passenden Trading-Signale schickt
- Das einzig wichtige: schalte niemals dein eigenes Hirn an.
- Versuche nicht zu verstehen wie ein Markt funktioniert
- Springe von Gerücht zu Gerücht und kümmere dich nur um das Allerneuste
Vertraue einfach anderen Leute dir zu sagen was du zu denken hast, denn schließlich hat reich werden nichts damit zu tun an sich zu arbeiten und echte Fähigkeiten zu lernen.
Das Patentrezept ist der Hochfrequenz-Handel während man im Schlafanzug vor dem PC sitzt.
Falls du doch mal abgezogen werden solltest:
Stelle sicher, dass du auf Telegram einen ausgezeichneten Online Wiederherstellungsdienst bezahlst, der dir hilft die Coins wiederzuholen.
Lass dir dabei vorlügen, dass alle Bitcoin und Kryptotransaktionen rückgängig zu machen sind, obwohl sie IRREVERSIBEL sind.
Genieß deine Shitcoinerei - sie könnte nicht von langer Dauer sein.
Immerhin hast du nun ein paar Dopamin Stöße bekommen.
Weg #2: Bitcoiner
Wenn dir der Dopamin Stoß wichtiger ist als harte Arbeit, dann ist dieser Weg sicherlich nichts für dich.
Der Tag im Leben eines Bitcoiners:
- Prüft nicht den Preis
- Kauft ein bisschen BTC, sobald etwas Bargeld reinkommt oder macht einfach regelmäßiges DCA
- Bleibt am Ball um zu verstehen wie Bitcoin funktioniert
- Versteht die Anreize, welche das Bitcoin Netzwerk schützt
- Versteht den Unterschied zwischen Proof of Work und Proof of Stake
- Versteht was Miner, Mining Pools, Nodes, XPubs und UTXO sind
- Versteht die Grundlagen eines asymmetrischen Verschlüsselungsverfahren und was es so nützlich macht
- Versteht wie verschiedene Attacken gegen Bitcoin aussehen könnten und warum sie erfolgreich seien oder fehlschlagen müssten
- Lernt wie man eine Hardware Wallet sicher aufsetzt und wiederherstellt
- Lernt wie man die Hardware Wallet mit Sparrow oder Nunchuk verbindet
- Spielt mit Nodes herum auf einem Desktop, Laptop oder Mini PC
- Versteht wie Wiederherstellungsphrasen und Passphrasen funktionieren
- Versteht die Vor- und Nachteile von Single-Sig und Multi-Sig
- Entwickelt seine persönliche Aufbewahrungsmethode, die ihn vor verschiedenen Szenarien schützt
- Weiß wie man eine Hardware Wallet zurücksetzt und sie wiederherstellt
- Weiß wie man seine Bitcoin schnell und überall in die Welt mitnehmen kann, falls das nötig sein sollte
- Weiß wie man seine Bitcoin zwischen den verschiedenen Ebenen wie Lightning und Liquid bewegen kann
- Weiß wie man eine Bitcoin im Lightning Netzwerk selbst verwahren kann wie z.B. mit Phoenix Wallet
- Lernt wie man eine Lightning Node betreibt
- Weiß wie man Bitcoin ohne Identifizierungsverfahren kauft
- Weiß wie und wann man seine Bitcoin mit einer Coinjoin Transaktion verschleiert
- Arbeitet hart in der echten Welt um seinen Lohn in Bitcoin zu tauschen
- Schaut nach Möglichkeiten Bitcoin direkt zu verdienen, entweder durch den Hauptjob oder einen kleinen Nebenjob
- Lernt wie man Software mit GPG verifiziert
- Versteht wie Lightning, Splicing, Liquid und Fedimint arbeiten
Es gibt einfach so viele zu lernen und du wirst einsehen, dass das Trading von Shitcoins einfach Zeitverschwendung ist, wenn man auch die aufgelisteten Fähigkeiten lernen könnte. Dazu wird die übrige Zeit mit Folgendem verbracht:
- Viel Zeit in der Natur
- Atmen von frischer Luft
- Etwas Sonne abbekommen
- Laufen, Joggen und Gewichtstraining
- Kochen, und das mit guten Zutaten
- Zeit mit den Liebsten verbringen, während man abgekoppelt von den sozialen Medien ist
Man versucht einfach jeden Tag eine schlauere, stärkere und bessere Person im Allgemeinen zu werden.
Was nimmst du nun mit?
Hör auf zu zocken, fang an zu lernen.
Anstatt deine Zeit mit Trading und Shitcoins zu verschwenden, lerne wie du Bitcoin kaufst und sie sicher auf einer Hardware Wallet verwahrst. Lerne sie zu benutzten, sie zu löschen und sie wiederherzustellen. Schaue dir regelmäßig dein Sicherheitskonzept an und falls nötig, mache eine Upgrade zu etwas besserem, damit du sicherer und privater unterwegs bist.
Übe deine Bitcoin zu bewegen. Schicke sie dir selbst, konsolidiere deine UTXO und stelle deine Bitcoin wieder her über deinen Seed.
Höre auf mit dem Glückspiel und #studybitcoin.
Bitcoin ist die Revolution.
Bitcoin ist der nächste Bitcoin.
Also, wirst du dich dem Gewinnerteam anschließen?
Wirst du lernen wie du auf einem Bitcoin Standard als selbst souveränes Individuum lebst?
Oder wirst du weiter von Coin zu Coin hüpfen um den nÄcHsTen Bitcoin zu finden ohne etwas an deinen echten Fähigkeiten oder deiner Expertise zu arbeiten während du die größte Menge an Bitcoin, die du je verdient hättest und die in den nächsten 1000 Jahren in Kaufkraft steigt, einfach links liegen lässt.
Selbst wenn du keine Bitcoin haben solltest, oder eine sehr kleine Menge hast, sei dir bewusst es ist nicht zu spät.
Wir sind noch sehr früh dabei.
Wähle weise wie du deine Tage und Wochen verbringst
Die heutigen Entscheidungen werden einen nachhaltigen Einfluss auf den Rest deines Lebens und wahrscheinlich sogar, das deiner Kinder.
Bist du neugierig geworden oder weißt du schon alles über Bitcoin? Ich fordere dich heraus mehr über Bitcoin zu Lernen. Hier findest du eine große Menge an weiterem Material.

2025-05-17 01:44:35This article is a repost, migrating from Substack
Introduction
Released in November 2020 by fiatjaf, Nostr is an open, decentralised, censorship-resistant messaging protocol. The protocol is well designed, and many authors have written extensively about the mechanics and use-cases. For the purposes of this article, I will narrow the focus to Nostr as a tool to enable the creation of platform markets. My aim is to give the reader an introduction to platform market pricing and provide concrete steps to price their platform strategically.
What is a Platform Market?
A platform market consists of multiple groups of users who want to interact but can’t do so directly. The platform brings them together to enable interaction, benefiting all users and the platform itself by enabling these interactions and pricing appropriately. Although platform markets have been around forever, the last decade has seen an explosion in their number due to the ubiquity of the internet.
Examples:
· Google
· YouTube
· TV
· Facebook
· Twitter (X)
Platform markets have historically earned significant revenue if they design their pricing correctly. This is because platform markets don’t need to produce goods themselves; rather, one or more “sides” of the platform produce goods and services for the other side, with the platform merely enabling the exchange. TikTok is a prime example: it produces nothing except a video hosting service, with users generating all the content for other users. Effectively, the platform has only fixed costs and very low marginal costs.
Therefore, platform markets are far more scalable than traditional one-sided markets, as their primary concern is to attract as many users as possible (who have no marginal cost to the platform). Additionally, platforms often enjoy a captive audience, making it difficult for competitors to entice away users once they are established. This is particularly evident in software and payment platforms.
How Does Nostr Enable the Creation of Platform Markets?
· Open Protocol: Like the internet, Nostr is an open protocol.
· Inbuilt Payment Systems: Nostr integrates payment systems such as Bitcoin’s Lightning Network.
· Existing User Base: It already has a growing user base.
· Decentralisation: This feature acts as a moat against competitors.
Types of platform enabled by Nostr
As of 2024 we are seeing multiple types of platforms that Nostr has enabled. The first is Nostr relays. A Nostr relay is a simple server that receives and broadcasts user notes (messages) in the Nostr protocol. Users can publish and fetch notes across multiple relays. Nostr relays can be configured by their operator to curate content on specific topics or people. Alternatively, they can be configured with an algorithm as experienced by users of contemporary social media. These can be valuable for users. And potentially, paid relays are a viable business opportunity.
The second platform Nostr enables is the Nostr client. Nostr clients are analogous to internet browser software. Historically, we have seen users be charged to install an internet browser, though this is unlikely to emerge in the market for Nostr clients. As a platform, a Nostr client might be bundled with a relay service (with curation or algorithm).
The third type of platform is Nostr apps. Each app can be designed as a platform if that is valuable for users. We are already seeing Nostr-based alternatives for music and video streaming, looking to compete with apps like YouTube.
We can’t know what the future will hold but the possibilities for designing platforms with Nostr are many. The advantage in designing a platform is that you can create a two sided market.
What is a Two-Sided Market?
All two-sided markets are platform markets, but not all platform markets are two-sided markets. The critical aspect of a two-sided market is that the volume of interactions on the platform depends on both the relative prices charged to each side and the total price charged. This is the case when both sides value more users on the other side, known in literature as an “indirect network externality.”
An example of a one-sided platform market is a clothes retailer, where the volume of sales depends only on the total price, not the relative prices charged to buyers and producers. Conversely, YouTube is a two-sided market where both creators and watchers benefit from more users. Watchers benefit from more variety and quality, while creators benefit from more users and views. YouTube introduces a special category of creators, the advertisers, who benefit monetarily from views because consumers viewing their content are likely to purchase their goods.
The prices paid by YouTube users are not all monetary:
· Watchers are charged an inconvenience fee in the form of advertisements.
· Advertisers are charged a monetary fee.
· Creators are not charged any fees.
Let’s assume the total fees for YouTube add up to $100. Say advertisers are charged $90, watchers face an inconvenience worth $10, and creators still enjoy $0 costs. In this scenario, the total volume of videos watched might be some number like 100,000.
Assume we change the price structure to advertisers being charged $80, watchers paying an inconvenience worth $10, and creators being charged $10 (keeping the total fees at $100). In this new scenario, the likely outcome is that the marginal creator will no longer create videos, and thus, the total volume of videos watched will fall.
Two-Sided Markets that Allow Money Exchange
The key to understanding Nostr’s value lies in its inbuilt payment mechanism—Bitcoin’s Lightning Network protocol. Although this protocol is not part of the Nostr codebase, the existing Nostr clients incorporate it to allow users to pay each other bitcoin with a simple user interface. This means that Nostr as a protocol is ideal for creating platforms where users can exchange monetary value. The mechanics and design choices of the Lightning network further augment Nostr’s value proposition more so than traditional payment systems like credit cards, PayPal, etc.
Key Problem: Chicken and Egg
So far, we have established that platform markets enable at least two groups of users to come together and exchange. The primary problem is that both groups will only use the platform if the other group is already using it, creating a classic chicken and egg scenario. Platforms operate by bringing groups of users together, making users reticent to switch to a new platform because they don’t know if the other users will be there. This gives existing platforms enormous power.
Guy Swann sums this up well in this Nostr note: note1695j0czewtkfwy7h4ne7k2ug706uwc7lendsq50prsfp8vwq8nfszdx4z7.
Competing with Existing Platforms: Divide and Conquer!
To compete with existing platforms, you need to divide and conquer. The original formulation for this strategy is given in both Caillaud and Jullien (2003) and Armstrong (2006). To take advantage of the indirect network externalities identified earlier, the divide and conquer strategy involves subsidising one side of the market to attract a large user base (the "divide" part) and then monetising the other side of the market (the "conquer" part).
Divide: Attract one side of the market by offering lower prices or subsidies. For example, offer free registration to one side. This subsidy is essential to kickstart the network effects, as a larger user base on one side increases the platform’s attractiveness to the other side. This was observed in the early days of YouTube, which was free for both creators and watchers.
Conquer: Once a substantial user base is established on the subsidised side, charge higher fees on the other side of the market. This can be seen in contemporary YouTube, where advertisers (a specific kind of creator) pay fees, and watchers deal with the inconvenience of watching ads (inconvenience is a non-price fee).
Implementing This Strategy in Your Platform:
So who are are you dividing, who are you conquering? Deciding which side to subsidise involves understanding which side offers more benefit to the other side. For example, in nightclubs (Wright, 2004), men and women go to interact. Men are assumed to gain more from each woman’s presence than vice versa, so nightclubs often subsidise women with free entry or drinks to attract men.
First, consider all your user groups. What brings them to your platform, what do they want to gain by interacting with the other user groups.
Think about, and identify, which group confers more value for the other group by being on the platform.
Then, think about how you can subsidise that user group. Free access is common. But Nostr allows seamless payment integration which encourages users to exchange money. A potential model for your platform could be that you charge a fee to both users based on how much value they send to each other. One way to subsidise users in this case is to reduce those fees.
Alternatively, you could pay users to join your platform using Nostr’s integration with the Lightning Network.

Einführung
Bitcoin wurde mit verschiedenen Formen von Eigentum und anderen Vermögenswerten verglichen, die traditionell zur Wertaufbewahrung verwendet werden. In der Abwesenheit von gesundem Geld weisen rationale Investoren\ Kapital in Immobilien, Aktien und andere alternativen Wertaufbewahrungsmittel auf. Inspiriert von „Bitcoin as Property" von Michael Saylor, diskutiert dieses Whitepaper das Potenzial von Bitcoin, das monetäre Premium (Anm. den Aufschlag für die Geldartigkeit des Vermögenswertes) von traditionellen Vermögenswerten einzufangen, und seine Auswirkungen auf deren zukünftige Bewertung.
Die Verlagerung vom traditionellen Sparen zu alternativen Anlagen
In der Vergangenheit haben weniger erfahrene Anleger ihr Geld auf Sparkonten gespart, während erfahrenere Anleger nach Hebelwirkung und Effizienz durch Immobilien und Risikoinvestitionen suchten. In den letzten zehn Jahren haben sich die Anleger aufgrund des Rückgangs der Zinssätze und der Ausweitung der Finanzinstrumente haben sich die Anleger für Aktien, Immobilien und\ börsengehandelte Fonds (ETFs) als ihre primären Wertaufbewahrungsmittel entschieden. Die explosionsartige Zunahme von ETFs und die Beliebtheit von Zweitimmobilien (zur Vermietung) oder Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) haben zu einer Monetarisierung zahlreicher Vermögenswerte geführt.\ Bis Ende 2021 wurden viele Vermögenswerte, darunter auch Immobilien, weit über ihrem Nutzwert gehandelt. Die Zentralbanken haben mit überschüssigem Geld den Wert des Geldes grundlegend zerstört, was die Anleger dazu veranlasst, nach Vermögenswerten zu suchen, die einen Schutz gegen die negativen Auswirkungen des Gelddruckens bieten. Dieses Phänomen hat zu einer Finanzialisierung der Wirtschaft geführt, bei der die Anleger keine andere Wahl haben, als nach anderen Formen des Sparens zu suchen.
Bitcoin: Der optimale Vermögenswert für die Monetarisierung
Bitcoin hat das Potenzial, der optimale Vermögenswert für die Monetarisierung zu werden und die traditionellen Wertaufbewahrungsmittel wie Währungen, Anleihen, Immobilien, Aktien und Gold konsequent zu demonetisieren.
Immobilien werden aufgrund ihres inhärenten Nutzwerts oft als begehrter Vermögenswert betrachtet, aber ihr Wert wird auch stark von der Monetarisierung beeinflusst, die dazu geführt hat, dass viele Menschen mehrere Immobilien besitzen, was die Nachfrage und die Preise in die Höhe treibt. Es ist jedoch zu beachten, dass der Besitz von Immobilien mit einer Reihe von Problemen verbunden ist. So können beispielsweise die Grundsteuer und die Instandhaltungskosten die potenziellen Renditen erheblich schmälern. Außerdem können Immobilien im Laufe der Zeit an Wert verlieren, was ihren Wert weiter schmälert. Auch wenn man eine Urkunde für eine Immobilie besitzt, ist man nicht der eigentliche Eigentümer der Immobilie; die Zusage des Eigentums kann unter bestimmten Umständen widerrufen werden. Wenn beispielsweise die Regierung beschließt, die Immobilie für die öffentliche Nutzung zu beschlagnahmen, kann der Immobilieneigentümer seine Investition vollständig verlieren. All diese Faktoren haben Anleger dazu veranlasst, nach Alternativen zum Schutz ihres Vermögens zu suchen, insbesondere in einem Umfeld mit geringem Risiko und niedriger Inflation.
Im Gegensatz dazu bietet Bitcoin ein „Konstrukt", das nicht zerstört werden kann, keine Wartung erfordert und eine hervorragende Wertaufbewahrung bietet. Als dezentralisierter, sicherer und knapper digitaler Vermögenswert hat Bitcoin das Potenzial, den monetären Aufschlag traditioneller Vermögenswerte zu übernehmen, was möglicherweise zu deren Demonetisierung führt.
Bitcoin wird aus mehreren Gründen zunehmend als überlegenes Wertaufbewahrungsmittel anerkannt:
- Knappheit: Bitcoin hat einen festen Vorrat von 21 Millionen Münzen, was zu einem Grad an Knappheit führt, der seinen Wert vor Inflation schützt.
- Übertragbarkeit: Bitcoin lässt sich leicht digital übertragen und aufbewahren, was ihn praktischer macht als physische Vermögenswerte wie Gold.
- Sicherheit: Die dezentralisierte Natur der Blockchain-Technologie, die Bitcoin zugrunde liegt, gewährleistet seine Sicherheit und seinen Schutz vor Manipulationen.
- Transparenz: Alle Transaktionen werden in der Blockchain aufgezeichnet, wodurch ein transparenter und überprüfbarer Eigentumsnachweis entsteht.
- Zugänglichkeit: Bitcoin ist für jeden zugänglich, der über einen Internetanschluss verfügt, was ihn zu einem umfassenden Wertaufbewahrungsmittel macht.
- Unveränderlichkeit oder Widerstand gegen Zensur: Die Aufzeichnung des Eigentums ist durch ein massives und wachsendes Computernetzwerk gesichert, was es nahezu unmöglich macht, Transaktionen zu verändern oder zu zensieren. Dies bietet eine zusätzliche Sicherheitsebene und stärkt den Status von Bitcoin als zuverlässiges und vertrauenswürdiges Wertaufbewahrungsmittel.
Das Modell
Das Schrödinger-Münzmodell basiert auf dem Konzept der Quantensuperposition, bei dem ein Objekt gleichzeitig in mehreren Zuständen existieren kann, bis es beobachtet wird. In diesem Fall wird davon ausgegangen, dass Bitcoin zwei mögliche Ergebnisse hat: Entweder scheitert er und ist wertlos (das Dan-Peña-Szenario) oder er erobert erfolgreich die Geldprämie traditioneller Wertaufbewahrungsmittel (das Saylor-Szenario).
Anstatt sich auf absolute Gewissheit wie in den obigen Szenarien zu verlassen, ordnet dieses Modell jedem dieser Szenarien Wahrscheinlichkeiten zu, um einen fairen Wert für Bitcoin zu ermitteln. Wenn du die Box öffnest und eine Welt beobachtest, in der Saylor Recht hatte, was passiert dann? Was wäre, wenn Dan Recht hätte?
Modell-Komponenten
Das Modell berechnet den Marktwert von Bitcoin heute anhand der folgenden Komponenten:
a. Marktkapitalisierung der Vermögenswerte: Der aktuelle Marktwert jedes traditionellen Wertaufbewahrungsmittels (z.B. Gold, Immobilien, Aktien, Anleihen).
b. Prozentsatz des monetären Aufschlags: Der Anteil der Marktkapitalisierung eines Vermögenswerts, der auf seinen Status als Wertaufbewahrungsmittel zurückzuführen ist.
c. Wahrscheinlichkeit der Vereinnahmung: Die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass Bitcoin die monetäre Prämie jedes Vermögenswerts vereinnahmt.
d. Zeit bis zur Vereinnahmung: Die erwartete Zeit, bis Bitcoin die Geldprämie eines jeden Vermögenswerts erbeutet. Dies kann auch als Vektor mit verschiedenen Prozentsätzen der eingefangenen Prämie über die Zeit modelliert werden.
e. Abzinsungsrate: Der Prozentsatz, mit dem die zukünftig erwarteten Erfassungswerte auf den Gegenwartswert abgezinst werden, um den heutigen Marktwert zu berechnen.
Modell-Berechnung
Der Zeitwert von Bitcoin wird als Summe des erwarteten Erfassungswerts der einzelnen Vermögenswerte berechnet:
wobei der Zeitwert jedes Vermögenswerts definiert ist als:
- mcap: Aktuelle Marktkapitalisierung der einzelnen Vermögenswerte
- mp: Prozentualer Anteil der Marktkapitalisierung, der Monetarisierungscharakter hat (nicht Nutzwert)\ prob: Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass Bitcoin diesen Wert erfasst
- r: Abzinsungssatz
- n: Anzahl der Perioden, bis die Monetarisierung realisiert wird
Denke daran, dass wir mit diesem Rahmen auch den heutigen Bitcoin-Preis verwenden könnten, um die aktuell implizierte Wahrscheinlichkeit des Marktes zu berechnen.
Modell-Inputs
Potenzielle Vermögensklassen und geschätzte Werte - Daten vom April 2023
- Aktien: a. Angenommener Marktwert: $100 Billionen b. Quelle: Die Börsenkapitalisierung kann der Weltbank und Statista entnommen werden.Die Daten stellen eine ungefähre Schätzung dar, da die Börsenkapitalisierung mit den Marktbewegungen schwankt.
- Anleihen: a. Angenommener Marktwert: $130 Billionen b. Quelle: Die Kapitalisierung des globalen Anleihemarktes wurde aus Quellen wie der Bank für Internationalen Zahlungsausgleich abgeleitet.

Parallelen zum Black-Scholes-Modell für die Optionsbewertung
Die Black-Scholes-Formel wird verwendet, um den fairen Preis von Optionen zu berechnen. Dabei handelt es sich um Finanzkontrakte, die dem Käufer das Recht (aber nicht die Verpflichtung) geben, einen Basiswert, z. B. eine Aktie oder einen Rohstoff, zu einem bestimmten Preis und Zeitpunkt zu kaufen oder zu verkaufen.
Die Formel umfasst fünf Inputs: den aktuellen Kurs des Basiswerts, den Ausübungspreis (den Preis, zu dem die Option ausgeübt werden kann), die Zeit bis zum Ablauf, den risikofreien Zinssatz und die Volatilität des Kurses des Basiswerts. Hier ist die Formel für den Preis einer Call-Option:
Die Formel selbst ist etwas kompliziert, aber in einfachen Worten funktioniert sie, indem sie die Wahrscheinlichkeit verschiedener Zukunftsszenarien für den Kurs des Basiswerts auf der Grundlage seiner Volatilität (wie stark sein Kurs im Laufe der Zeit zu schwanken pflegt) schätzt. Die Formel berechnet dann den erwarteten Wert der Option auf der Grundlage dieser Wahrscheinlichkeiten, abgezinst auf den heutigen Wert unter Verwendung des risikofreien Zinssatzes.
Die linke Seite der Gleichung stellt den Wert der Call-Option dar (das Recht, den Basiswert zu kaufen), während die rechte Seite die Summe aus dem Gegenwartswert des Ausübungspreises (der bei Ausübung der Option garantiert wird) und dem erwarteten Wert des Kurses des Basiswerts bei Fälligkeit darstellt. Der Erwartungswert wird berechnet, indem der aktuelle Kurs des Basiswerts mit einer Wahrscheinlichkeitsdichtefunktion multipliziert wird, die auf der Volatilität des Kurses des Basiswerts basiert.
Ein wesentlicher Unterschied zwischen den beiden Modellen besteht darin, dass die Black-Scholes-Formel auf der Annahme einer kontinuierlichen Zeit und einer bekannten Verteilung der Preise von Vermögenswerten beruht, während das Schrödinger-Münzmodell auf dem Konzept der Quantensuperposition basiert, bei dem ein Objekt in mehreren Zuständen existieren kann, bis es beobachtet wird. Das Schrödinger-Münzmodell ordnet jedem möglichen Ergebnis Wahrscheinlichkeiten zu, um einen fairen Wert für Bitcoin zu ermitteln, während die Black-Scholes-Formel eine Wahrscheinlichkeitsdichtefunktion verwendet, die auf der Volatilität des Preises des zugrunde liegenden Vermögenswerts basiert.
Ein weiterer Unterschied besteht darin, dass die Black-Scholes-Formel eine geschlossene Gleichung ist, was bedeutet, dass sie analytisch gelöst werden kann, während das Schrödinger-Münzen-Modell ein komplexeres Modell ist, das mehrere Eingaben und Berechnungen umfasst.
Trotz dieser Unterschiede zielen beide Modelle darauf ab, den beizulegenden Zeitwert eines Vermögenswerts zu schätzen, indem sie verschiedene Faktoren wie den aktuellen Preis des Vermögenswerts, die Zeit bis zum Verfall, die Zinssätze und die Volatilität berücksichtigen. Beide Modelle berücksichtigen auch das Potenzial für extreme Ergebnisse und die Ungewissheit künftiger Ereignisse, die zur Volatilität des Vermögenswerts beitragen können.
Schrödingers Münze und Volatilität als Merkmal, nicht als Fehler
Einer der meistdiskutierten Aspekte von Bitcoin und anderen Kryptowährungen ist ihre inhärente Preisvolatilität. In diesem Abschnitt argumentieren wir, dass das Schrödinger-Münzmodell die Volatilität von Bitcoin als ein natürliches Merkmal seiner Bewertung erklärt und nicht als Fehler oder Schwachstelle. Darüber hinaus werden wir diskutieren, wie diese Volatilität abnehmen kann, wenn wir uns der Hyperbitcoinisierung nähern.
- Extreme Ergebnisse Das Schrödinger Modell basiert auf zwei extremen Ergebnissen für Bitcoin: entweder sch-eitert er und wird wertlos (das Dan Peña Szenario), oder er erobert erfolgreich die Geldprämie traditioneller Wertaufbewahrungsmittel (das Saylor Szenario). Infolgedessen sagt das Modell von Natur aus erhebliche Wertschwankungen voraus, die von der Marktstimmung und externen Faktoren abhängen, die die Wahrnehmung der Anleger hinsichtlich der Wahrscheinlichkeit dieser Ergebnisse beeinflussen.
- Kleine Änderungen in der Wahrscheinlichkeit, große Änderungen im fairen Wert Angesichts der extremen Natur der beiden möglichen Ergebnisse können kleine Änderungen in der wahrgenommenen Wahrscheinlichkeit des Eintretens eines der beiden Szenarien zu erheblichen Änderungen im fairen Wert von Bitcoin führen. Zum Beispiel könnte ein leichter Anstieg des Vertrauens des Marktes in den Erfolg von Bitcoin zu einem signifikanten Anstieg des Preises führen, während ein Rückgang des Vertrauens zu einem starken Rückgang führen könnte.
- Ungewissheit der Zeit Ein weiterer Faktor, der zur Volatilität von Bitcoin beiträgt, ist die Ungewissheit über die Zeit, die benötigt wird, um die Hyperbitcoinisierung zu erreichen. Während Hausse-Märkten nimmt die Zeitwahrnehmung (t) tendenziell ab, da die Anleger optimistischer werden, was die Akzeptanz von Bitcoin und die Geschwindigkeit angeht, mit der Bitcoin die Geldprämie von traditionellen Vermögenswerten erreichen wird. Umgekehrt steigt die wahrgenommene Zeit bis zur Hyperbitcoinisierung während Baisse-Märkten, wenn die Marktstimmung negativ wird. Diese Fluktuation in der Zeitwahrnehmung fügt dem Bitcoin-Kurs eine weitere Ebene der Volatilität hinzu.
- Abnehmende Volatilität bei zunehmender Hyperbitcoinisierung Je näher wir der Hyperbitcoinisierung kommen, desto geringer dürfte die Volatilität von Bitcoin werden. Dies liegt daran, dass der Markt im Laufe der Zeit mehr Informationen über die Akzeptanz von Bitcoin, das regulatorische Umfeld und die technologischen Entwicklungen erhalten wird. Infolgedessen wird die Wahrnehmung des Marktes hinsichtlich der Wahrscheinlichkeit der beiden extremen Ergebnisse stabiler werden, was zu geringeren Preisschwankungen führt.
Zusammenfassend erklärt das Schrödinger-Münzen-Modell die Volatilität von Bitcoin als eine natürliche Folge seiner Bewertung, die auf extremen Ergebnissen, kleinen Veränderungen der Wahrscheinlichkeit und der Ungewissheit der Zeit bis zur Hyperbitcoinisierung beruht. Wenn der Markt mehr Informationen erhält und mehr Vertrauen in die Zukunft von Bitcoin gewinnt, wird erwartet, dass seine Volatilität abnimmt und gegen Null tendiert. Das Verständnis dieses Aspekts des Modells kann Anlegern helfen, fundiertere Entscheidungen über die mit einer Investition in Bitcoin verbundenen Risiken und Erträge zu treffen.
Schlussfolgerung
Schrödingers-Münzmodell bietet einen Rahmen für die Bewertung von Bitcoin, indem es sein Potenzial berücksichtigt, den monetäre Aufschlag von traditionellen Vermögenswerten wie Immobilien, Aktien und Anleihen einzufangen. Als überlegenes Wertaufbewahrungsmittel hat Bitcoin das Potenzial, Investitionen in traditionelle Vermögenswerte konsequent zu demonetisieren, was zu einer Verschiebung der Kapitalallokation und einer Neubewertung ihres Wertes führt.
Das Modell beleuchtet auch die inhärente Volatilität von Bitcoin, die sich aus den extremen Ergebnissen, kleinen Veränderungen der Wahrscheinlichkeit und der Ungewissheit der Zeit bis zur Hyperbitcoinisierung ergibt. Da der Markt jedoch mehr Informationen erhält und mehr Vertrauen in die Zukunft von Bitcoin gewinnt, wird erwartet, dass seine Volatilität abnimmt und gegen Null tendiert.
Darüber hinaus unterstreicht das Modell, wie wichtig es ist, die Risiken zu verstehen, die mit einer Investition in Bitcoin verbunden sind, wie regulatorische Änderungen, technologische Herausforderungen und potenzielle Konkurrenz durch andere Kryptowährungen oder alternative Wertaufbewahrungsmittel.
Durch das Verständnis der Dynamik des Schrödinger-Münzmodells sowie der Faktoren, die zur Volatilität von Bitcoin und den damit verbundenen Risiken beitragen, können Anleger fundiertere Entscheidungen über das potenzielle Wachstum und die mit Bitcoin und anderen Vermögenswerten verbundenen Risiken treffen. Dieser ganzheitliche Bewertungsansatz ermöglicht eine umfassendere Beurteilung des Potenzials von Bitcoin sowohl als Investition als auch als transformative Technologie.

Wir alle haben einen Werdegang in Bezug auf Bitcoin. Einige begannen als Verfechter des gesunden Geldes, die die österreichische Schule der Nationalökonomie und Gold verehrten. Andere sind aus der TradFi-Welt herausgefallen, als sie merkten, dass etwas nicht ganz richtig war. Die meisten Bitcoiner haben die Irrungen und Wirrungen der Altcoin-Hölle durchlaufen. Wie auch immer du es hierher und zu Bitcoin geschafft hast, willkommen und schnall dich verdammt nochmal an.
Als ich mich zum ersten Mal für Bitcoin interessierte, war das im Juli 2017, und der Bullenmarkt des Jahres war bereits in vollem Gange. Ich kaufte etwas Bitcoin und sah zu, wie der Wert stieg. Dann kaufte ich mehr. Wie es bei diesen parabolischen Aufwärtsbewegungen üblich ist, beobachtete ich, wie der Preis stieg und mein Gemütszustand veränderte sich:
Von Interesse zu Unglauben zu Verliebtheit zu ausgearteten Käufen zu Verzweiflung.
Dies ist eine Entwicklung, die du während der nächsten Aufwärtsbewegung vermeiden kannst, wenn du dich richtig vorbereitest.
Wenn du dies in der Hoffnung liest, alle Antworten zu finden, habe ich leider schlechte Nachrichten. Es gibt keine richtigen Antworten in Bitcoin oder im Leben. Wir sind alle auf einer Reise, um herauszufinden, was wir tun und wie wir vorgehen sollen. Ich hoffe, dass ich dir einen Leitfaden an die Hand geben kann, aber letztendlich werden deine persönlichen Ziele und deine Veranlagung bestimmen, wie du mit der Volatilität umgehst. Bitcoin wird deine Entschlossenheit auf die Probe stellen.
In der späteren Phase des Bullemarkts 2017 sprach ich mit jedem in meinem Leben über Bitcoin - völlig besessen. Mein damaliger Nachbar war älter als ich und hatte den Dot-Com-Boom erlebt. Den Rat, den er mir gab, werde ich nie vergessen, denn er hatte während der Dot-Com-Blase eine Menge Geld gewonnen (und verloren). Er hörte sich mein glühendes Interesse an Bitcoin an und ging sehr maßvoll mit meiner offensichtlichen LIEBE für diesen Vermögenswert um. Er erzählte mir, dass er während des Dot-Com-Booms mehr Geld verdient hat, als er jemals geglaubt hätte, und am Ende war er wieder genau da, wo er angefangen hatte - weil er den Bullenmarkt über den Gipfel geritten und nichts verkauft hatte. Sein Rat war: "Ich freue mich, dass es dir gut geht, aber vergiss nicht, etwas Gewinn mitzunehmen." Er riet mir, 50 % zu verkaufen und 50 % zu behalten - eine einfache Absicherungsstrategie. Kurz nachdem Bitcoin sein Allzeithoch erreicht hatte, beherzigte ich seinen Rat und verkaufte einige meiner Bestände in der Nähe des lokalen Höchststands.
Ich weiß, dass dies für viele Hodler ein Frevel ist. Wir verkaufen unsere Bitcoin doch nicht, oder? Nun, das ist eine persönliche Entscheidung, und je nach deiner Risikotoleranz und deinem Platz im Leben, möchtest du vielleicht ein gewisses Risiko vom Tisch nehmen. Das ist Teil des Investierens, und wie das alte Sprichwort sagt, verliert niemand Geld, wenn er mit Gewinn verkauft. Dieser Artikel soll den Rat geben, den ich mir gewünscht hätte, als ich Bitcoin zum ersten Mal entdeckte. Ich hoffe, er hilft Neulingen in diesem Bereich zu verstehen, wie man sich in dem bombastischen Umfeld zurechtfindet, das Bitcoin während seiner Bullenmärkte erzeugt.
Ich habe zwei Bullenmärkte erlebt, einen im Jahr 2017 und einen im Jahr 2021. Diese Bullenmärkte waren SEHR unterschiedlich, und ich vermute, wenn du mit denjenigen sprichst, die bei Bullenmärkten vor 2017 dabei waren, wirst du feststellen, dass sie sich auch sehr unterschiedlich anfühlten.
Das erste, was ich loswerden möchte, ist Folgendes - niemand weiß, was passieren wird:
- Balaji spricht von 1 Million in 3 Monaten
- Nobelpreisträger sagen, Bitcoin wird auf Null sinken
- Buffett und Munger (RIP) nennen es Rattengift
Egal, wem Du zuhörst, egal, wie lange sie schon in dem Bereich tätig sind oder wie korrekt sie in der Vergangenheit waren, es spielt keine Rolle. Sie haben keine Ahnung, was die Zukunft bringt.
Bei Investitionen gibt es eine Idee, die als Überlebensbias bezeichnet wird. Diejenigen, die richtig lagen, haben überlebt, und sie erscheinen wie Genies, weil sie richtig lagen. Die überwiegende Mehrheit derjenigen, die sich geirrt haben, ist vergessen. Man hört nichts über sie. Ich will hier niemanden in die Pfanne hauen, aber es gab prominente Bitcoin-Leute, die VIEL höhere Preise riefen, als wir im Jahr 2021 bei 68K waren. Ich sage nicht, dass sie schlechte Menschen sind; ich bin mir sicher, dass sie einen guten Grund hatten, diese Zahlen zu prognostizieren, aber wenn man damals ihren Ratschlägen gefolgt wäre, hätte man zum denkbar schlechtesten Zeitpunkt gekauft und wäre für JAHRE unter die Räder gekommen.
Meiner Meinung nach gibt es verschiedene Arten von Kristallkugelbesitzern, und die unterste Kategorie sind die technischen Analysten. Das sind die ein Dutzend Leute, die man auf Twitter sieht, die über Momentum, Preisniveaus, Tassen und Griffe usw. schwadronieren. Diese Leute riefen für 10K Bitcoin, wo der Boden bei 16k lag. Ich sage nicht, dass TA Unsinn ist; im Grunde ist es ein System zur Vorhersage menschlicher Handlungen durch Wahrscheinlichkeit. Es ist bestenfalls eine Überlegung. Sie sollte nie in einem Vakuum verwendet werden, um Ihre Allokationen zu bestimmen. Wenn du es in Verbindung mit den Fundamentaldaten verwendest, kann es viel hilfreicher sein. Worauf ich hier hinaus will, ist, dass es GANZ viele TA-Analysten gibt, die Ihnen raten, bei 68 K zu kaufen und nicht bei 16 K. Sie werfen probabilistische Darts. Setze deine finanzielle Zukunft nicht auf eine fundierte Vermutung von irgendjemandem.
Die zweite Art von Kristallkugel-Liebhabern sind Makro-Analysten. Diese Leute sind meiner Meinung nach glaubwürdiger, weil sie den allgemeinen Trend in der Wirtschaft einschätzen. Sie berücksichtigen die Zinssätze, die Bewegungen der Fed und die Wirtschaftsdaten. Diese Leute sind viel näher an der Realität, weil sie den Finger am Puls des wirtschaftlichen Geschehens haben. Aber wie bei den TA-Analysten können sich auch diese Leute VÖLLIG irren. Viele sagten, dass die Leitzinsen nicht über x oder y steigen könnten, da sonst die gesamte Wirtschaft zusammenbrechen würde. Nun, die Zinssätze wurden auf ein Niveau angehoben, das weit über ihren Weltuntergangsprognosen liegt, und wir haben keinen Zusammenbruch erlebt.
Ob du nun einem TA-Analysten oder einem Makro-Analysten folgst, sie können wegen eines schwarzen Schwans völlig FALSCH liegen. Nicholas Taleb - bekanntlich von Bitcoinern gehasst - hat den Begriff "schwarzer Schwan" geprägt, um Ereignisse zu bezeichnen, die von Zeit zu Zeit eintreten und mit Standardmodellen einfach nicht vorhergesagt werden können, weil sie so unwahrscheinlich sind. Covid war ein schwarzer Schwan. Der Krieg in der Ukraine war ein schwarzer Schwan. Und rate mal, was passiert: Morgen könnte es einen weiteren unvorhersehbaren schwarzen Schwan geben, der alle TA- und Makro-Analysten völlig auf den Kopf stellt. In der Welt gibt es jede Menge Zufälle. Übrigens sind schwarze Schwäne nicht immer schlecht. Sie können genauso gut auch positive Katalysatoren sein.
Heißt das also, dass wir vor Angst gelähmt bleiben und niemandem trauen sollten?
Ganz und gar nicht. Es bedeutet, dass wir uns die Mühe machen sollten, UNS SELBST zu BILDEN! Du musst die Verantwortung für dich und deine Entscheidungen übernehmen. Du kannst die Informationen der TA-Analysten und der Makro-Analysten nehmen und deine eigenen fundierten Entscheidungen treffen. DAS IST VON GRÖSSTER WICHTIGKEIT.
BILDE DICH SELBST WEITER
Bitcoin ist ein unglaublich einfaches und doch unendlich komplexes Wesen. Deine Ausbildung wird nie vollständig sein, aber du kannst dein Verständnis Schritt für Schritt erweitern. Wir haben eine 10-teilige Bitcoin-Grundlagen-Serie mit Dazbea und Seb Bunney gemacht, und ich habe das Gefühl, dass wir nicht einmal an der Oberfläche gekratzt haben!
Du solltest gut ausgebildet sein, um widerstandsfähig zu werden. Wenn du ein solides Verständnis von Bitcoin und seiner Funktionsweise hast, wirst du nicht so leicht zu erschüttern sein. Die Psychologie ist hier SEHR WICHTIG. Wenn du verstehst, in was du investierst, und der Markt von einem Börsenausfall betroffen ist, ähnlich dem, der FTX passiert ist, wirst du einige Dinge verstehen, die die Durchschnittsperson vielleicht nicht versteht.
- Bitcoin ist davon nicht betroffen
- Der Preisverfall ist vorübergehend und unbegründet
- Deshalb ist jetzt ein guter Zeitpunkt, um Bitcoin zu akkumulieren
Aber auch das Gegenteil ist der Fall. Wenn du siehst, wie die Mainstream-Schlagzeilen über Bitcoin schwärmen und die Gewinne kein Ende zu nehmen scheinen, und du das Gefühl hast, dass du jedes bisschen Geld in Bitcoin investieren solltest, weil der Preis nirgendwo hin geht, außer nach oben - dann sei VORSICHTIG. Ich habe festgestellt, dass meine Psychologie typisch ist. Ich habe Angst, wenn der Preis nach unten geht, und ich habe irrationalen Überschwang, wenn der Preis schnell steigt. Wenn ich GENAU das Gegenteil von dem tue, was mein Affenhirn mir sagt, stelle ich fest, dass ich oft das Richtige tue. Das heißt, wenn du extreme Angst verspürst, ist dies der richtige Zeitpunkt zum Kaufen, und wenn du dich überschwänglich fühlst, ist dies der richtige Zeitpunkt zum Verkaufen.
Panikkäufe sind gefährlich. Wenn du einen unkontrollierbaren Drang verspürst, Bitcoin zu kaufen, atme tief durch. Ich kann dir versichern, dass du in der Lage sein wirst, etwas Bitcoin zu kaufen, und wenn du den Drang so stark verspürst, ist der Markt wahrscheinlich reif für einen Rücksetzer. Das ist keine Garantie, aber nach meiner Erfahrung ist dies der wahrscheinliche Fall. Ich plädiere nicht für den Handel mit BTC, ganz und gar nicht. Ich kann ehrlich sagen, dass ich durch den Handel mehr BTC verloren als gewonnen habe, und wenn die meisten Leute ehrlich sind, werden sie das auch zugeben. Das Trading ist eine Fähigkeit und Disziplin, die nur sehr wenige Menschen beherrschen.
Die typischen psychologischen Hindernisse, die den Menschen im Weg stehen, sind Angst und Gier. Denk über deine Gefühle nach und erkenne, wann du diese Emotionen erlebst. Sie werden dich dazu bringen, Fehler zu machen. Der einfachste Weg, all dies zu mildern, ist einfach der Dollar-Cost-Average. Dollar-Cost Averaging nimmt den ganzen Stress heraus. Basta. Wenn du in diesem Moment in diesen Schatz einsteigst und er über Nacht auf 30 % fällt, frage dich ehrlich: Habe ich den Mut dazu? Habe ich die nötige Überzeugung dafür? Habe ich das nötige Wissen, um zu verstehen, warum der Dollarpreis kurzfristig keine Rolle spielt? Werde ich in Panik verkaufen? Wenn du nicht überzeugt bist, wird dich das Dollar-Cost-Averaging retten. Du bekommst den Durchschnittspreis über einen langen Zeitraum.
Ich habe eine kleine DCA-Taktik, die einfach ist und bei mir funktioniert:
Wenn der Preis sich entspannt, erhöhe ich meinen DCA, und wenn der Preis in die Höhe schießt, ziehe ich mich zurück und kaufe im Durchschnitt weniger. Über Monate und Jahre hinweg führt dies zu einem optimalen Durchschnittswert.
FÜHLE DICH NICHT WIE EIN VERRÄTER, WENN DU BTC VERKAUFST
Habe einen Plan und sei bereit, ihn auszuführen. Der Plan meines Nachbarn ist ein guter Anfang. Sobald du dein Geld verdoppelt hast, nimmst du die Anfangsinvestition heraus. Dabei gibt es ein erhebliches Sternchen - was willst du anstelle von Bitcoin kaufen? Inflationäres Bargeld? Die Möglichkeiten, sein Geld woanders anzulegen, sind heutzutage sehr begrenzt. Das mag für viele in diesem Bereich kontrovers sein, aber ich denke, es ist absolut vernünftig, Bitcoin zu verkaufen. Wenn du Bitcoin seit JAHREN hältst und dein Stack dein Leben sinnvoll verbessern könnte, solltest du auf jeden Fall einen Teil verkaufen.
Zeit ist das einzige Gut, das wertvoller ist als BTC; wir haben wirklich nur eine begrenzte Menge an Zeit auf dieser Erde. Wenn du deine BTC hortest und dann friedlich einschläfst was war dann der Sinn? Wenn du einen Teil deines Stacks verkaufen kannst, um dein Haus abzubezahlen oder dich von erdrückenden Schulden zu befreien, halte ich das für eine gute Entscheidung. Es ist vielleicht nicht die BESTE finanzielle Entscheidung, vor allem, wenn Ihr Haus mit einem zinsgünstigen Darlehen belastet ist, aber es ist eine nachvollziehbare Entscheidung, weil man dadurch beruhigt sein kann. Man muss jedoch auch bedenken, dass der Verkauf von Bitcoin auf lange Sicht sehr wahrscheinlich eine schmerzhafte Entscheidung sein wird.
Bitcoin für Spielzeug zu verkaufen, ist hingegen kein guter Schachzug. Wenn du den 250.000 Dollar teuren Lamborghini kaufst, der in 3 Jahren 50% seines Wertes verliert, während Bitcoin um mehr als diesen Prozentsatz zugelegt hat, wird das Bedauern unerträglich sein. Robert Kiyosaki kommt mir in den Sinn. Sein Buch Rich Dad Poor Dad hat mich sehr beeinflusst, und seine Beschreibung von Vermögenswerten und Verbindlichkeiten hat mich sehr beeindruckt:
- Ein Vermögenswert erzeugt Cashflow
- Eine Verbindlichkeit zieht den Cashflow ab
Wenn du Vermögenswerte kaufst, wird dein Nettovermögen auf einer exponentiellen Kurve erheblich ansteigen. Wenn du Verbindlichkeiten kaufst, wirst du einfach ärmer. Wenn du Bitcoin verkaufst, wirst du es wahrscheinlich langfristig bereuen.
ZEITPRÄFERENZ
Die Zeitpräferenz ist ein Thema, das in Bitcoin oft angesprochen wird. Eine niedrige Zeitpräferenz zu haben bedeutet, dass man bereit ist, für eine bessere Zukunft auf die Annehmlichkeiten von heute zu verzichten. Jede sehenswerte Kathedrale, jedes klassische Kunstwerk, alles Schöne auf dieser Welt wurde gebaut, weil Menschen mit Blick auf die Zukunft und nicht auf die Gegenwart gearbeitet haben. Hätte DaVinci Bananen an die Wand geklebt, hätten wir uns nie an ihn erinnert. Wären die großen Pyramiden aus Lehm gebaut worden, gäbe es sie heute nicht mehr. Wenn die Zivilisation ihren gesamten Reichtum für das Hier und Jetzt ausgeben würde, ohne in die Zukunft zu investieren, würde sie nicht überleben.
Bitcoin selbst ist ein digitales Artefakt, das von einem geheimnisvollen Architekten bis zur Perfektion entwickelt wurde. Er ist so konzipiert, dass er Äonen überdauert; wenn die Zivilisation überdauert, wird er bis in die Zukunft hinein perfekte Treue beweisen. Da niemand ihn verändern oder kontrollieren kann, ist Bitcoin anti-entropisch. Das ist der Inbegriff von Handwerkskunst der geringen Zeitpräferenz. Bitcoin ist ein Da Vinci in einer Welt der an die Wand geklebten Bananen. Es ist so offensichtlich, wenn die Arbeit erst einmal geleistet ist, dass es peinlich ist, dass nicht mehr Menschen den Wert verstehen, den er bietet.
Im krassen Gegensatz zu diesem Bitcoin-Meisterwerk stehen die Schrotthaufen, die wir Altcoins oder Shitcoins nennen. Diese wurden mit der Technologie von Bitcoin gebaut, führen aber Entropie ein. Die Treue geht bei den Altcoins verloren, weil sie jeweils von einem Gründer oder einer Gruppe kontrolliert werden. Wenn Menschen etwas kontrollieren können, manipulieren sie es unweigerlich zu ihrem Vorteil. Und ob bewusst oder unbewusst, es wird sich verschlechtern. Die meisten dieser Shitcoins waren von Anfang an darauf ausgelegt, dich zu betrügen. Einige dieser Altcoins haben eine Führung, die vielleicht gute Absichten hat, aber sie sind menschlich und können beeinflusst und genötigt werden. Das Problem ist die FÜHRUNG. Bitcoin und seine Zeitkette wurden entwickelt, um das menschliche Element als primäre Eigenschaft zu entfernen. Die Einführung von Menschen in den Mix verursacht Entropie, die den Wert durch Seigniorage zerstört.
Die Erfindung von Bitcoin war die der NICHT-INTERVENTION durch Menschen.
Das sind Erkenntnisse, die für viele Menschen Jahre dauern, um sie vollständig zu verstehen. Wenn du das Kurzfassung über Altcoins wissen willst, ist es einfach. Bemühe dich einfach nicht. Du bist besser dran, wenn du dein Geld in ein Casino bringst und Glücksspiel machst. Die Karten sind in der Kryptowelt schwer gegen Dich ausgelegt; du hast einfach Glück, wenn du Geld verdienst. Nimm den Weg der geringen Zeitpräferenz und staple Bitcoin, während du lernst, wie deine Investition wächst. Ich kann mit Zuversicht sagen, dass du in 5 Jahren viel weiter vorne sein wirst, wenn du in Bitcoin Dollar-Cost-Averaging betreibst, als wenn du mit Shitcoins spielen würdest.
5-JAHRES-AUSSICHTEN MINIMUM
Die meisten Menschen interessieren sich für Bitcoin während einer seiner parabolischen Bullenläufe. Ich war einer von ihnen. Wir sind alle daran interessiert, finanziell voranzukommen, besonders wenn das Gespenst der Inflation über unseren Köpfen schwebt.
Wenn du neu bei Bitcoin bist und dies dein erster Versuch ist, dann stelle sicher, dass du bereit bist, diesen Vermögenswert für mindestens 5 Jahre zu halten. Du bist wahrscheinlich während einer Aufwärtsbewegung hier, und wenn du kein Glück hattest, ist es wahrscheinlich am Ende der Aufwärtsbewegung. Zum Zeitpunkt der Erstellung dieses Berichts im Dezember 2023 stehen wir meiner Meinung nach am Anfang der nächsten Aufwärtsbewegung. Mit der Zulassung der ETFs, der Halbierung im April 2024 und der Aussicht, dass die US-Notenbank ihre Geldpolitik zurückfahren wird, sind viele Katalysatoren aufeinander abgestimmt. Das bedeutet jedoch NICHT, dass dies unvermeidlich ist. Schwarze Schwäne sind immer eine Möglichkeit. Abgesehen von diesem schwarzen Schwan scheinen wir für einen massiven Kursanstieg in den nächsten Jahren bereit zu sein.
SELBSTVERWAHRUNG
Wenn du zum ersten Mal Bitcoin an der Börse deiner Wahl kaufst, wird es sich anfühlen wie der Kauf eines beliebigen anderen Vermögenswerts bei einem Broker. Du kaufst Bitcoin, und die Zahl auf dem Bildschirm spiegelt die Menge an Bitcoin wider, die du jetzt "besitzt".
Es ist von entscheidender Bedeutung, dass du deine Bitcoin in Verwahrung nimmst. Wir haben in jüngster Zeit Fehler beim Umtausch und regelrechte Betrugsfälle erlebt. Wenn diese Betrügereien aufgedeckt und strafrechtlich verfolgt werden und der Preis von Bitcoin unter Druck gerät, weil viele Menschen den Vermögenswert Bitcoin mit den Börsen in Verbindung bringen, die ihn verkaufen, wird dies zu einer RIESIGEN Kaufgelegenheit. Als FTX vor einem Jahr scheiterte, wurde der Preis von Bitcoin negativ beeinflusst, und diejenigen, die verstanden, dass Bitcoin kein fundamentales Problem hatte, kauften mehr. Du hast verstanden, dass die Angst durch den Markt strömte (womit wir wieder bei dem Punkt wären, warum es in diesem Bereich SO WICHTIG ist, gut informiert zu sein). Wer damals Bitcoin kaufte (um 16k), sicherte sich innerhalb eines Jahres einen Gewinn von weit über 100%!
Stell dir die Seed Keys als das Passwort zu deinem Bitcoin vor, das geschützt werden muss, denn wenn jemand anderes es bekommt, kann er deine Bitcoin in Besitz nehmen - nicht gut für dich. Bitcoin-Seed-Keys werden in der Regel durch eine Hardware-Wallet oder ein Signiergerät geschützt. Dieses Gerät schützt deine Schlüssel vor Hackern oder schlechten Akteuren. Ich verwende seit Jahren Coldcards, und sie gehören zu den besten Geräten zum Schutz von privaten Schlüsseln. Es funktioniert sehr einfach. Du erstellst auf dem Gerät die geheimen Schlüssel; es speichert sie und bewahrt sie offline auf, d. h. ohne Verbindung zum Internet. Dieser letzte Punkt ist WICHTIG. Du darfst diese Wörter NIEMALS auf einem Computer mit Internetanschluss speichern. Der einzige Ort, an dem du deine Schlüssel sicher aufbewahren kannst, ist ein dafür vorgesehenes Gerät. Wenn der Computer kompromittiert wird (und glauben Sie mir, es ist SEHR WÄHRLICH, dass er kompromittiert wird), wird das Signiergerät deine Bitcoin schützen.
Das mag sich alles sehr schwierig und komplex anhören, wenn du es noch nie gemacht hast, aber glaub mir, es ist ganz einfach. Ich würde empfehlen, dass du dir die Videos von BTC Sessions über die Verwendung des Signiergeräts deiner Wahl ansiehst. Er hat unglaubliche Walk-Through-Videos auf YouTube, die alles im Detail erklären.
Eine gemeinsame Verwahrung mit einem Unternehmen wie Swan Bitcoin oder Unchained Capital ist auch eine gute Idee für diejenigen, die neu in diesem Bereich sind. Sie werden dir die Hand halten und dich davor schützen, einfache Fehler zu machen, die zu Problemen führen können. Die gemeinschaftliche Verwahrung ist die Kosten wert, wenn du dir Sorgen machst, deine Bitcoin zu verlieren. Unchained bietet ein Produkt zur gemeinschaftlichen Verwahrung an, das mehrere Schlüssel enthalten kann und deinen Verwandten helfen kann, deine Bitcoin im Falle deines Ablebens wiederzuerlangen.
GEBE NICHT MIT DEINEN BITCOIN AN. Es besteht die Versuchung, mit dem Erfolg zu prahlen. Wenn du fünf Jahre lang durchhältst, wirst du ihn wahrscheinlich haben. Du bist stolz darauf, dass du die Disziplin und Selbstbeherrschung hattest, dich selbst zu beherrschen und erfolgreich das zu erwerben, was du als eine bedeutende Menge an Bitcoin ansiehst. Teile nicht, wie viel du hast, mit anderen. Das sollte offensichtlich sein, aber es gibt Leute, die sich nicht so sehr für dich freuen. Sie könnten es ihren Freunden erzählen, und früher oder später könnte jemand, den du nicht kennst und der vielleicht gewaltbereit ist, feststellen, dass du ein attraktives Ziel bist. Dies ist ein weiterer Grund für die Verwendung einer Konfiguration mit mehreren Signaturen. Selbst wenn jemand 1 von 3 Schlüsseln erhalten hat, kann er deine Bitcoin nicht stehlen.
KAUFE KEINE BITCOIN, DIE DU NICHT KONTROLLIEREN KANNST
Kaufe nicht den glänzenden neuen ETF, den die Wall Street anbietet. Kaufe Bitcoin nur bei Anbietern, die es dir ermöglichen, deine Bitcoin tatsächlich in Verwahrung zu nehmen. Lege deine Bitcoin nicht bei irgendeinem Dienst an, der eine Rendite bietet, insbesondere wenn diese Rendite unrealistisch hoch erscheint. Als allgemeine Faustregel gilt: Lass es einfach bleiben.
Der erste und wichtigste Grund, warum du deine Bitcoin in Verwahrung nehmen solltest, ist, dass du die absolute und vollständige Kontrolle über sie hast. Es gibt in Bitcoin ein Sprichwort: "Nicht deine Schlüssel, nicht deine Coins". Wenn du deine Bitcoin nicht verwahrst, hast du einfach einen Schuldschein. Das ist der ganze Grund für die Existenz von Bitcoin. Um Zwischenhändler auszuschalten und den Menschen zu ermöglichen, ihr finanzielles Schicksal selbst in die Hand zu nehmen.
Wenn du den Besitz hast, fallen keine Gebühren an wie bei einem ETF. Diese Gebühren können niedrig erscheinen, aber mit der Zeit können sie SIGNIFIKANT sein. GBTC ist ein Trust, der einem Bitcoin-ETF am ähnlichsten ist. GBTC erhebt eine Gebühr von 2 % PRO JAHR (jetzt 1,5 % mit dem ETF). Im Laufe der Zeit kann dies erheblich sein. Außerdem erlauben es die ETF-Produkte, die die Wall Street verkauft, nicht, den Bitcoin JEMALS zu verwahren. Ein ETF könnte für einige Leute in bestimmten Szenarien Sinn machen, aber für jeden, der ein Lego-Set bauen kann, ist die Verwahrung von Bitcoin ähnlich komplex. Nimm es selbst in die Hand.
Wenn sich Bitcoin mehr und mehr durchsetzt, wird es möglich sein, ihn als Sicherheiten zu verwenden. Ja, ich verstehe, dass die Verwendung deines Bitcoin als Sicherheit ihn aus deinem Besitz nimmt und Vertrauen in eine dritte Partei erfordert. Dies ist ein weiterer Fall, in dem du dich informieren und SICHER sein solltest, dass der von dir gewählte Kreditgeber vertrauenswürdig ist und nicht pleite gehen wird. Im Zweifelsfall solltest du dich immer auf die Selbstverwahrung verlassen.
Eine Kreditaufnahme gegen deine Bitcoin ist unmöglich, wenn du ihn nicht selbst verwahrst. Du kannst den Bitcoin, den Blackrock in deinem Namen hält, nicht ausleihen. Dies ist von Bedeutung. Es hat steuerliche Vorteile, Bitcoin zu beleihen, anstatt sie zu verkaufen. Wenn du keine Kontrolle über deine Bitcoin hast, schließt du dich selbst von einigen vorhersehbaren Anwendungsfällen in der nahen Zukunft aus und von vielen unvorhersehbaren Anwendungen, die noch erfunden werden müssen. Programmierbares Geld ist nicht nützlich, wenn du es nicht in deiner Hand hältst.
Der letzte Grund, warum du deine Bitcoin aufbewahren solltest, ist ein wenig düsterer. Bitcoin wurde entwickelt, um unzensierbar und nicht konfiszierbar zu sein. Wenn der Staat merkt, dass er die Kontrolle über das Geld verliert, wird er sich wahrscheinlich dein Bitcoin holen. Dies ist ein Präzedenzfall in der Geschichte der USA. Im Jahr 1933 wurde mit der Executive Order 6102 der Besitz von Gold für US-Bürger illegal. Sie zwangen die Menschen, Gold abzugeben und 20 Dollar pro Unze zu erhalten. Die Regierung setzte dann den Goldpreis auf 35 Dollar pro Unze herauf. Für den Besitz von Goldmünzen konnte man in den USA von 1933 bis Mitte der 1970er Jahre ins Gefängnis kommen. Das könnte wieder passieren, und du hast die Wahl, wenn du Bitcoin selbst hältst. Depotbanken WERDEN in diesem Szenario gezwungen sein, der Regierung deine Bitcoin zu geben. Was du in dieser Situation mit deinem Bitcoin tust, sollte DEINE Entscheidung sein, nicht die eines Verwahrers.
VERANTWORTUNG
Wenn du die Schritte unternimmst, um deine Bitcoin selbst zu verwahren, bist du verantwortlich. Dies ist eine Art von radikaler Verantwortung, die Menschen beunruhigen kann. Wenn du deine Schlüssel verlierst, ist dein Bitcoin für immer verloren. Es gibt keine Nummer, die du anrufen kannst, und niemanden, der dir helfen kann. SIE. SIND. WEG.
Im Jahr 2017 verlor einer meiner Freunde auf der Feuerwache Bitcoin im Wert von 1300 Dollar, weil er die Bitcoin in einer Papier-Wallet aufbewahrte. Diese werden nicht mehr verwendet, weil sie so unsicher sind, aber man kann einen QR-Code ausdrucken, der die Bitcoin enthält. Er ließ das Stück Papier in seinem Auto liegen. Dann räumte er sein Auto aus und saugte die Papier-Wallet auf. Diese Bitcoin sind für immer weg. Sie sind jetzt irgendwo zwischen 4 und 5 Tausend Dollar wert, und sie sind einfach weg. Nun, technisch gesehen sind sie nicht weg, sie sind immer noch da, nur für niemanden zugänglich. Ohne die Schlüssel kann niemand die Bitcoin bewegen, also sind die Bitcoin praktisch für immer eingefroren.
Ein anderer guter Freund von mir verlor eine beträchtliche Menge an Bitcoin bei einem Unternehmen namens BlockFi. Dabei handelte es sich um eine Börse, die Renditen für Bitcoin anbot, die bei ihrer Börse aufbewahrt wurden. Dieser Bitcoin ist nicht eingefroren, aber er ist jetzt für die absehbare Zukunft in einem Rechtsstreit eingesperrt. Um dem Ganzen noch die Krone aufzusetzen - da der Bitcoin, als er von BlockFi gehalten wurde, technisch gesehen nicht ihm gehörte, sondern aufgrund der "Vereinbarung", die er bei der Eröffnung des Kontos unterschrieben hat, ihnen gehört, wird er irgendwann in der Zukunft den Dollarwert dieses Bitcoins zu dem Preis erhalten, zu dem BlockFi pleite ging - also 16.000 Dollar -, sind wir wieder bei dem Punkt angelangt, warum du die Selbstverwahrung ernst nehmen solltest!
Das alte Bitcoin-Sprichwort lautet: "Nicht deine Schlüssel, nicht deine Coins".
Bitcoin ist eine endlose Lernreise. Wenn du ein Kaninchenloch erforschen willst, hast du Glück! Die Menge an soliden Inhalten, die in diesem Bereich angeboten werden, ist um Lichtjahre besser als im Jahr 2017. Man kann in einem Bruchteil der Zeit, die man damals gebraucht hätte, von null auf kompetent umsteigen. Wie oben bereits angedeutet, haben wir bei Blue Collar Bitcoin eine Grundlagenreihe zusammengestellt, die du für den Einstieg nutzen kannst. Die Liste der großartigen Inhaltsersteller und Ressourcen ist so lang, dass wir sie nicht alle aufzählen können. Geh einfach auf Entdeckungsreise und achte darauf, zu überprüfen, nicht zu vertrauen.
Lerne weiter, und vor allem - denke selbst!
Erinnere dich an die Weisheit von Matt Odell: "Bleib bescheiden und staple Sats".

2025-04-20 08:38:43Bei dem Begriff "Midlife-Crisis" denkt man oft an Menschen mittleren Alters, die sich Sportwagen kaufen, ihre Ehepartner für jüngere Partner verlassen oder sich in einem verzweifelten Versuch, ihre Jugend wiederzuerlangen, plötzlich auf ausgefallene Abenteuer einlassen. Im Bitcoin Space zeichnet sich jedoch ein neues Phänomen ab - die Bitcoiner Midlife-Crisis.
Für diejenigen, die tief in den Kaninchen Bau eingetaucht sind kommt ein Punkt auf ihrer Reise, an dem sie ein Plateau erreichen. Sie haben ein außerordentliches Vermögen in Form von Sats angehäuft und verfügen über ein klares Verständnis der Technologie und des Marktes. Aber trotz alledem fühlen sie sich unerfüllt, so als ob der nächste Kauf von Bitcoin einfach keinen wirklichen Unterschied mehr macht.
Dieses Gefühl wird durch die extreme Volatilität des Bitcoin-Marktes noch verstärkt. An einem Tag kann das Nettovermögen in neue Höhen steigen, nur um am nächsten Tag wieder deutlich zu fallen. Die Schwankungen können so drastisch sein, dass ihr Jahresgehalt im Vergleich zu den nicht realisierten Gewinnen und Verlusten, die sie an einem einzigen Tag erleben, verblasst. Es wird schwierig, die Achterbahnfahrt der finanziellen Freiheit mit der Stabilität einer traditionellen Festanstellung in Einklang zu bringen.
Die traditionellen Vorstellungen von Erfolg und Erfüllung verlieren für Bitcoiner, die diese Midlife-Crisis erleben, an Bedeutung. Die Verlockung von materiellen Besitztümern oder beruflichen Fortschritten hat nicht mehr das gleiche Gewicht im Vergleich zu den potenziellen Gewinnen und Verlusten der Bitcoin. Die Vorstellung, für jemand anderen zu arbeiten und Zeit gegen Geld zu tauschen, wird zunehmend unattraktiver, wenn sie das Potenzial für finanzielle Unabhängigkeit durch ihre überlegene Spar-Technologie sehen.
Infolgedessen können Bitcoiner in der Mitte ihrer Lebenskrise ihre Prioritäten und Werte in Frage stellen. Sie könnten beginnen, die gesellschaftlichen Normen und Erwartungen zu hinterfragen, die ihr Leben bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt bestimmt haben. Das Bedürfnis nach Anerkennung oder Bestätigung durch andere hat nicht mehr den gleichen Stellenwert, da sie erkennen, dass ihr Wohlstand und ihr Erfolg nicht durch traditionelle Maßstäbe definiert werden.
Diese veränderte Denkweise kann zu einem Mangel an Filter oder Selbstzensur in ihren Interaktionen mit anderen führen. Bitcoiner, die eine Midlife-Crisis durchleben, werden möglicherweise offener und selbstbewusster, wenn es darum geht, ihre Überzeugungen und Meinungen zu äußern, unabhängig davon, wie sie von ihrem Umfeld wahrgenommen werden. Sie haben vielleicht nicht mehr das Bedürfnis, sich an gesellschaftliche Normen anzupassen oder sich an konventionelle Weisheiten zu halten, was zu Konflikten mit Freunden, Familie oder Arbeitskollegen führt, die ihre Ansichten nicht verstehen oder teilen.
Die emotionale Loslösung, die mit der Bitcoiner-Midlife-Crisis einhergeht, kann sich auch in einem allgemeinen Gefühl der Apathie oder Gleichgültigkeit gegenüber äußeren Ereignissen oder Umständen äußern. Themen oder Herausforderungen, die früher vielleicht eine starke emotionale Reaktion hervorgerufen haben, werden jetzt kaum noch wahrgenommen. Die Höhen und Tiefen des alltäglichen Fiat-Jobs scheinen im Vergleich zur Volatilität des Bitcoin-Marktes unbedeutend zu sein.
Mitten in dieser Midlife-Crisis könnten sich Bitcoiner an einem Scheideweg wiederfinden und sich mit Fragen der Identität, des Zwecks und der Erfüllung auseinandersetzen. Sie könnten gezwungen sein, sich mit ihrer eigenen Sterblichkeit und dem Erbe, das sie hinterlassen wollen, auseinanderzusetzen. Die traditionellen Meilensteine des Erfolgs, wie ein Haus, staatliche Altersvorsorge oder berufliche Erfolge, haben vielleicht nicht mehr die gleiche Anziehungskraft, wenn man sie mit dem Potenzial für finanzielle Freiheit und Souveränität vergleicht, das der Bitcoin bietet.
Die Midlife-Crisis der Bitcoiner ist nicht nur ein persönlicher Kampf, sondern ein Spiegelbild der breiteren gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen und Umwälzungen, die durch den Aufstieg eines digitalen Geldes ausgelöst wurden, welches die Gesellschaft von monetärer Entwertung und finanzieller Unterdrückung befreit. Sie ist eine Herausforderung für die etablierten Normen und Strukturen der Finanzwelt und eine Neudefinition dessen, was es bedeutet, in der modernen Zeit Erfolg und Erfüllung zu finden.
Während Bitcoiner durch diese Midlife-Crisis schreiten, können sie Trost darin finden, sich mit anderen zu verbinden, die ihre Reise und Erfahrungen teilen. Online-Communities, Meetups und Konferenzen bieten einen Raum für Gleichgesinnte, um zusammenzukommen und sich gegenseitig durch die Höhen und Tiefen des Bitcoin-Marktes zu unterstützen. Indem sie ihre Kämpfe, Erfolge und Einsichten miteinander teilen, können Bitcoiner ein Gefühl der Kameradschaft und ein Ziel auf ihrem Weg zur finanziellen Unabhängigkeit und Selbstverwirklichung finden.
Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass die Midlife-Crisis der Bitcoiner ein komplexes und vielschichtiges Phänomen ist, das die einzigartigen Herausforderungen und Chancen der Einführung von gesundem Geld widerspiegelt. Sie stellt einen Wendepunkt im Leben derjenigen dar, die tief in die Welt des Bitcoin eingetaucht sind, wo traditionelle Maßstäbe für Erfolg und Erfüllung im Lichte des Potenzials für Selbstständigkeit und finanzielle Freiheit neu bewertet werden. Indem sie sich mit ihren eigenen Werten, Überzeugungen und Prioritäten auseinandersetzen, können Bitcoiner aus dieser Midlife-Crisis mit einem neuen Sinn für Ziel und Richtung auf ihrer Reise zu finanzieller Unabhängigkeit und Selbstverwirklichung hervorgehen.

2025-05-16 20:57:43Google says that Android 16 is slated to feature an optional high security mode. Cool.
Advanced Protection has a bunch of requested features that address the kinds of threats we worry about.
It's the kind of 'turn this one thing on if you face elevated risk' that we've been asking for from Google.
And likely reflects some learning after Google watched Apple 's Lockdown Mode play out. I see a lot of value in this..
Here are some features I'm excited to see play out:
The Intrusion Logging feature is interesting & is going to impose substantial cost on attackers trying to hide evidence of exploitation. Logs get e2ee encrypted into the cloud. This one is spicy.
The Offline Lock, Inactivity Reboot & USB protection will frustrate non-consensual attempts to physically grab device data.
Memory Tagging Extension is going to make a lot of attack & exploitation categories harder.
2G Network Protection & disabling Auto-connect to insecure networks are going to address categories of threat from things like IMSI catchers & hostile WiFi.
I'm curious about some other features such as:
Spam & Scam detection: Google messages feature that suggests message content awareness and some kind of scanning.
Scam detection for Phone by Google is interesting & coming later. The way it is described suggests phone conversation awareness. This also addresses a different category of threat than the stuff above. I can see it addressing a whole category of bad things that regular users (& high risk ones too!) face. Will be curious how privacy is addressed or if this done purely locally. Getting messy: Friction points? I see Google thinking these through, but I'm going to add a potential concern: what will users do when they encounter friction? Will they turn this off & forget to re-enable? We've seen users turn off iOS Lockdown Mode when they run into friction for specific websites or, say, legacy WiFi. They then forget to turn it back on. And stay vulnerable.
Bottom line: users disabling Apple's Lockdown Mode for a temporary thing & leaving it off because they forget to turn it on happens a lot. This is a serious % of users in my experience...
And should be factored into design decisions for similar modes. I feel like a good balance is a 'snooze button' or equivalent so that users can disable all/some features for a brief few minute period to do something they need to do, and then auto re-enable.
Winding up:
I'm excited to see how Android Advanced Protection plays with high risk users' experiences. I'm also super curious whether the spam/scam detection features may also be helpful to more vulnerable users (think: aging seniors)...
Niche but important:
Some users, esp. those that migrated to security & privacy-focused Android distros because of because of the absence of such a feature are clear candidates for it... But they may also voice privacy concerns around some of the screening features. Clear communication from the Google Security / Android team will be key here.

Reden wir über Dinge, die man mit Geld nicht kaufen kann.
Ehrlichkeit kann man mit Geld nicht kaufen. Tatsächlich sind Menschen, die versuchen, dich davon zu überzeugen, ihnen dein Geld zu geben, oft nicht ganz ehrlich zu dir.
Freundschaft kann man mit Geld nicht kaufen. Du kannst nicht in ein Geschäft oder eine Bar gehen und einen Freund kaufen – jemanden, der deine Werte teilt, der dich respektiert, den du respektierst. Und aus den gleichen Gründen kann man sich damit keine Liebe kaufen , die eine besonders tiefe Form der Freundschaft ist.
Vor allem kann Geld dir keine Dinge kaufen, die in dir selbst sind: Es kann dir kein Selbstwertgefühl, Intelligenz, Mut oder Integrität kaufen, um nur einige Beispiele zu nennen. Gebe einer unsicheren Person einen Haufen Geld und sie wird es verschwenden, um vor anderen anzugeben oder sich selbst zu zerstören. Gib einem intellektuell faulen Menschen Geld und er wird nicht schlauer. Gebe einem Feigling Geld und er hat nur noch eine Sache, vor der er Angst haben muss: das Geld zu verlieren. Und gebe einem Betrüger Geld, und er wird versuchen, es zu verwenden, um einen unehrlichen Plan auszuhecken, durch den er mehr bekommen kann.
Die Dinge, die man für Geld kaufen kann
Geld wird dir ein schönes Outfit, einen tollen Haarschnitt, ein schickes Auto und ein schönes Haus kaufen, aber das Glück selbst wird unerreichbar bleiben ohne echte Freunde und Liebhaber, denen du vertrauen kannst, und ohne in der Lage zu sein, dich selbst zu lieben und zu respektieren.
Geld kauft nämlich kein Glück. Nicht von alleine. Es ist nicht ausreichend.
Warum arbeiten wir dann so hart für Geld? Warum messen manche Menschen ihren Wert in Dollar?
Es ist wahr, dass wir viele der Dinge brauchen, die man mit Geld kaufen kann, wie Nahrung, Unterkunft, Kleidung und sogar Unterhaltung, die uns ein wenig glücklicher macht.
Geld kann ein Wegbereiter sein. Es kann verwendet werden, um Dinge zu kaufen, die grundlegende Überlebensbedürfnisse befriedigen, und uns dadurch die Zeit verschaffen, diesen anderen Werten nachzugehen, die Geld selbst nicht kaufen kann.
Es ist jedoch immer noch sehr falsch, unseren Wert anhand einer einzigen Zahl zu messen, geschweige denn an einer Zahl, von der wir wissen, dass sie Freundschaft, Liebe, Selbstwertgefühl, Intelligenz, Mut, Integrität und viele andere Tugenden und Werte, die wir zeigen und verfolgen sollten, auslässt.
Was hat das mit Bitcoin zu tun?
Nehmen wir uns nun eine Minute Zeit, um uns die Gemeinschaft der Bitcoiner anzusehen. Bitcoiner sind überzeugt von einer neue Form von Geld, Bitcoin.
Wir unternehmen große Anstrengungen, um zu erklären, warum wir denken, dass es die beste Form von Geld ist, die es je gegeben hat und wahrscheinlich jemals geben wird.
Um dies erklären zu können, müssen wir zunächst große Anstrengungen unternehmen, um zu verstehen, was Geld ist und wie Bitcoin die Anforderungen erfüllt, Geld zu sein.
Dazu müssen wir einen sehr ehrlichen Blick auf die Geschichte und die Gegenwart werfen . Wir müssen erforschen, was viele Menschen für selbstverständlich halten. Wir müssen harte Fragen stellen und nach ehrlichen, vertretbaren Antworten suchen.
Wir müssen etwas über die Mathematik lernen, auf die sich Bitcoin stützt.
Wir müssen etwas über die Energieproduktion lernen, auf die Bitcoin angewiesen ist.
Wir lernen etwas über Ökonomie, die Lehre davon, wie Menschen mit den Dingen umgehen, die man mit Geld kaufen kann.
Wir entwickeln eine tiefe Überzeugung, die von all diesem Lernen und unseren Beobachtungen und Argumenten über das, was um uns herum passiert, geprägt ist.
Wir bilden Ansichten darüber aus, wohin die Welt steuert .
Wir kommen zu dem Schluss, dass eine Welt mit Bitcoin als Geld oder auch nur als das Geld, das von uns, welche sich für Bitcoin entscheiden, verwendet wird, eine bessere Welt ist.
Wir schließen daraus, dass es eine bessere Welt ist, weil sie ehrlich und transparent ist. Es ist eine Welt ohne Geheimnisse, Intrigen und Täuschungen darüber, was Geld ist.
Es ist eine Welt ohne mächtige Leute, die die Kontrolle über das Geldsystem ausüben, um die Schwachen zu kontrollieren.
Wir finden dann eine moralische Mission in Bitcoin.
Wir übernehmen die Verantwortung, das Wissen zu verbreiten.
Dazu braucht es Mut. Wir müssen unser Geld dort einsetzen, wo unser Mund ist, indem wir Bitcoin mit unseren Euro kaufen. Dies ist ein Akt der Risikobereitschaft oder des Mutes. Es ist ein Akt der Integrität – unsere Worte an unseren Taten auszurichten.
Wir müssen standhaft bleiben. Wir werden ausgelacht. Mächtige Menschen und Institutionen verspotten uns und versuchen, uns zu diskreditieren. Sie bezeichnen uns als Unterstützer von Kriminellen und Terroristen. Entweder stärken wir unseren Mut und unsere Überzeugung oder verlassen Bitcoin.
Diejenigen von uns, die bleiben, wissen, dass unsere Mit-Bitcoiner, die die gleichen Schwierigkeiten durchgemacht haben oder durchmachen wie wir, ehrlich, intelligent und mutig sind.
Wir respektieren einander. Wir werden Freunde.
Wir alle tragen bei, was wir können, wie wir können. Wir bauen die Welt, die wir uns vorstellen.
All dies tun wir unbeirrt, während Millionen an der Seitenlinie stehen, einige neugierig zusehen, uns verspotten und einige aktiv angreifen und versuchen, uns aufzuhalten. Ab und zu rennt einer rüber und sagt „Ich will so sein wie du!“ Und wir empfangen sie mit offenen Armen.
Ein Bitcoiner zu werden ist ein Prozess, durch den du Dinge erhältst, die man mit Geld nicht kaufen kann.
Schau mal. Ehrlichkeit kann man mit Geld nicht kaufen. Freundschaft kann man damit nicht kaufen. Selbstachtung, Mut, Intelligenz oder Integrität kann man damit auch nicht kaufen. Doch diese Bitcoiner mit ihren Ideen, ihren Idealen, Bemühungen und ihren Errungenschaften haben sich all diese Dinge angeeignet. Bitcoiner sind ehrlich. Sie haben authentische Freundschaften. Sie glauben an sich. Sie sind mutig. Sie sind schlau. Und sie besitzen eine Integrität, die all diese Dinge über jeden Reichtum stellt, der in einem monetären Wert gemessen wird.
Kein Bitcoiner beurteilt einen anderen danach, wie viel Bitcoin diese andere Person wert ist.
Es ist ein Fauxpas in der Community, überhaupt danach zu fragen.
Ich liebe meine Mit-Bitcoiner. Sie sind die besten Menschen auf Erden. Einige mögen finanziell reich sein, andere nicht. Aber sie sind mir alle viel mehr wert als Geld.
Bitcoin hat uns allen eine Fülle von Dingen gegeben, die man mit Geld nicht kaufen kann.

Why Nostr Today Feels Like Bitcoin In 2012: An Interview With Vitor PamplonaI recently sat down with Vitor Pomplona, creator of Nostr client Amethyst, to discuss how Nostr in 2025 is a lot like what Bitcoin was like in 2012 — a bit rough around the edges, but exciting to use.
Nostr, a decentralized protocol for social media and other forms of communication, is only four years old, and developers are still figuring out how to create the best possible user experience within the clients they’ve created. These clients include apps like Primal (which is comparable to X) to Olas (which is like Instagram) to Yakihonne (which is similar to Substack).
What’s unique about Nostr clients, though, is that users can “zap” (send small amounts of) bitcoin to one another to show appreciation for the content their fellow users have created.
And Pomplona is optimistic that more and more Nostr clients are starting to gain traction, just as Bitcoin began to do so 13 years ago.
“We are starting to see communities being formed and more money being transferred,” Pamplona told Bitcoin Magazine in the interview.
A Bitcoin-Fueled Creator Economy
Pomplona acknowledged that part of the purpose of social media is to enable means for users to monetize what they create in ways that they can’t do in their physical environment.
“[Some social media] users want to earn a living,” said Pomplona. “They have hope that they can achieve more with social media than they can alone or in their cities.”
Pamplona believes that Nostr clients can help transform that hope into a reality, and it’s his mission to help users do this.
“That is our end goal: If we can get creators to the point where they can earn a living, we will win as a platform.”
This potential for users to earn a living with Nostr becomes greater everyday, especially as the Nostr user base expands and it continues to grow as the largest bitcoin circular economy in the world.
Amethyst
In creating Amethyst, Pamplona had a vision for a Nostr client that served as an all-in-one app, which was inspired by a plan similar to the one that Elon Musk had for X (formerly Twitter).
“Amethyst came in at the same time that Elon was talking about buying Twitter,” explained Pomplona. “He was like let’s make a mega app out of Twitter, and I went for the same thing.”
While Pomplona understands that Amethyst didn’t quite achieve this, he’s excited that it’s come to play a different role. It serves as a lab for people who are developing new Nostr clients.
“Amethyst is helping everybody kickstart their own applications,” he said. “Olas came from Amethyst.”
Nostr As A Bitcoin Onboarding Tool
Pomplona sees Nostr as a great way to onboard people to Bitcoin, though he doesn’t think this should be the primary goal of Nostr clients.
“The main goal for [Nostr] apps is to get people to do their thing — to get people to be creative, or to talk to their friends or to have a chat with their family,” explained Pomplona.
“No app should ever talk about either Nostr or Bitcoin. They should just be what they are,” he added.
Pamplona believes that, after some time, the app’s users will inevitably start to learn about Nostr’s self-sovereignty Nostr provides when it comes to users being able to control their own data and about Bitcoin.
“[They’ll realize that] it just so happens that the platform helps them to manage their own data, and use best payment protocol we have today.”
And he highlighted that most new users are coming to Nostr because of the freedom and censorship resistance it offers.
“In the past two years, most of the new Nostr users came in because of freedom, because of some censorship in their country,” said Pomplona. “And they learned about Bitcoin after that.”

2025-05-12 14:50:36A posição do libertário que rejeita o cristianismo padece de sérias incoerências lógicas, históricas e filosóficas. Ao renegar as bases espirituais e culturais que tornaram possível o próprio ideal libertário, tal posição demonstra ser, ao mesmo tempo, autofágica e irracional. É o caso de alguém que se gloria dos frutos de uma árvore que corta pela raiz.
I. Fundamento histórico: a civilização da liberdade é cristã
Não foi o secularismo moderno, nem o paganismo antigo, que ergueram as instituições que protegem a dignidade da pessoa humana e os limites ao poder. Desde os primeiros séculos, a Igreja resistiu ao culto estatal romano, afirmando a soberania de Deus sobre os Césares — "Mais importa obedecer a Deus que aos homens" (Atos 5,29).
Foi o cristianismo que:
-
Fundou universidades livres, onde o saber era buscado sob o primado da verdade;
-
Defendeu a lei natural como fundamento do direito — uma doutrina que protege o indivíduo contra tiranias;
-
Resgatou e aprofundou o conceito de pessoa, dotada de razão e livre-arbítrio, imagem de Deus, e, portanto, inalienavelmente digna e responsável.
Em momentos-chave da história, como nas disputas entre papado e império, nas resistências contra absolutismos, e na fundação do direito internacional por Francisco de Vitoria e a Escola de Salamanca, foi o cristianismo quem freou o poder estatal em nome de princípios superiores. A tradição cristã foi frequentemente o principal obstáculo à tirania, não seu aliado.
Negar isso é amputar a própria genealogia da liberdade ocidental.
Uma das chaves do cristianismo para a construção dessa civilização da liberdade foi a exaltação do individualismo. Ao afirmar que o ser humano é feito à imagem de Deus e que sua salvação é uma escolha pessoal, o cristianismo colocou o indivíduo no centro da moralidade e da liberdade. Diferente dos gregos, cuja ética era voltada para a polis e a cidade-estado, o cristianismo reafirma a suprema importância do indivíduo, com sua capacidade de escolha moral, responsabilidade pessoal e dignidade intrínseca. Esse princípio, mais do que qualquer outra religião, foi o alicerce do desenvolvimento da liberdade individual e da autonomia, valores que sustentam a civilização ocidental.
A ética grega, na melhor das hipóteses, descreve a ordem natural — mas não consegue justificar por que essa ordem deveria obrigar a vontade humana. Um Logos impessoal não tem autoridade moral. Uma ordem cósmica sem um Legislador é apenas um dado de fato, não uma norma vinculante. A vontade pode rebelar-se contra o telos — e sem um Deus justo, que ordena a natureza à perfeição, não há razão última para não o fazer.
A cultura grega teve uma influência indiscutível sobre o desenvolvimento da civilização ocidental, mas o cristianismo não só absorveu o que havia de bom na cultura grega, como também elevou e completou esses aspectos. O cristianismo, ao afirmar que todos os homens são feitos à imagem e semelhança de Deus e têm dignidade intrínseca, levou a uma noção de igualdade moral e liberdade que transcende as limitações da pólis grega.
II. Falsa dicotomia: fé e liberdade não são opostas
Com frequência equiparam a religião à coerção e à obediência cega. Mas isso é um equívoco: o cristianismo não se impõe pela força, mas apela à consciência. O próprio Deus, em sua relação com a criatura racional, respeita sua liberdade. Como ensina a Escritura:
"Se alguém quiser vir após mim..." (Mt 16,24);
"Eis que estou à porta e bato. Se alguém ouvir a minha voz e abrir a porta, entrarei em sua casa e cearei com ele." (Ap 3,20);
"Assim falai, e assim procedei, como devendo ser julgados pela lei da liberdade." (Tiago 2,12).A adesão à fé deve ser livre, voluntária e racional, pois sem liberdade não há verdadeiro mérito, nem amor genuíno. Isso é mais compatível com o princípio de não agressão do que qualquer utopia secular. Ora, o núcleo do evangelho é voluntarista: salvação pessoal, conversão interior, caridade.
Ninguém deve ser forçado, contra sua vontade, a abraçar a fé, pois o ato de fé é por sua natureza voluntário (Dignitatis Humanae; CDC, cân. 748,2)
Se algum Estado usa da força para impor o cristianismo, afirmar que o cristianismo causou as coerções é tão equivocado quanto dizer que a propriedade privada causa o comunismo; é uma inversão da realidade, pois o comunismo surge precisamente da violação da propriedade. Portanto, a fé forçada é inválida em si mesma, pois viola a natureza do ato de crer, que deve ser livre.
III. Fundamento moral: sem transcendência, o libertarianismo flutua no vácuo
O libertário anticristão busca defender princípios objetivos — como a inviolabilidade do indivíduo e a ilegitimidade da agressão — sem um fundamento transcendente que lhes dê validade universal. Por que a agressão é errada? Por que alguém tem direito à vida, à liberdade, à propriedade? Sem uma explicação transcendental, as respostas para tais perguntas se tornam apenas opiniões ou convenções, não obrigações morais vinculantes. Se a moralidade é puramente humana, então os direitos podem ser modificados ou ignorados conforme a vontade da sociedade. O conceito de direitos naturais, tão caro ao libertarianismo, precisa de um solo metafísico que justifique sua universalidade e imutabilidade. Caso contrário, eles podem ser tratados apenas como acordos utilitários temporários ou preferências culturais, sem qualquer obrigatoriedade para todos os seres humanos em todas as circunstâncias.
Pensadores libertários seculares, como Ayn Rand e Murray Rothbard, tentaram ancorar os direitos naturais na razão humana ou na natureza do homem. Rand baseia sua ética no egoísmo racional, enquanto Rothbard apela à lei natural. Embora essas abordagens busquem objetividade, elas carecem de uma resposta definitiva para por que a razão ou a natureza humana obrigam moralmente todos os indivíduos. Sem um fundamento transcendente, suas concepções permanecem vulneráveis a interpretações subjetivas ou a cálculos utilitários.
Aqui, o cristianismo oferece uma explicação sólida e transcendental que fundamenta os direitos naturais. A visão cristã de que o ser humano foi criado à imagem e semelhança de Deus confere à pessoa uma dignidade intrínseca, imutável e universal. Essa dignidade não depende de fatores externos, como consenso social ou poder político, mas é uma característica inerente ao ser humano pela sua criação divina. A partir dessa perspectiva teológica, torna-se possível afirmar com base sólida que os direitos naturais são dados por Deus e, portanto, são universais e vinculantes.
O cristianismo também é a base de um sistema moral que distingue claramente justiça de legalidade. O Estado pode criar leis, mas isso não significa que essas leis sejam justas. A justiça, sob a ótica cristã, é uma expressão da ordem moral objetiva, algo que transcende as leis humanas e é definido pela vontade divina. Por isso, o libertarianismo cristão vê a agressão como uma violação de uma ordem moral objetiva, e não apenas uma violação de uma convenção social ou de um acordo utilitário.
Se a moralidade e os direitos naturais não forem fundamentados em um Logos criador e legislador, o que acontece é que o conceito de direito natural degenera para algo mais frágil, como um simples acordo utilitário. Nesse cenário, os direitos do indivíduo se tornam algo acordado entre os membros de uma sociedade, em vez de princípios imutáveis e universais. Os direitos podem ser negociados, alterados ou ignorados conforme o interesse do momento.
IV. Fundamento científico: a racionalidade moderna é filha da fé cristã
A ciência moderna só foi possível no contexto cultural cristão. Nenhuma outra civilização — nem a grega, nem a islâmica, nem a chinesa — produziu o método científico como o Ocidente cristão o fez.
Isso se deve a quatro premissas teológicas:
-
Criação racional: O mundo é ordenado por um Deus racional.
-
Distinção entre Criador e criatura: A natureza não é divina e pode ser estudada sem sacrilégio.
-
Valor do trabalho e da observação empírica, herdado do monaquismo.
-
Autonomia institucional, presente nas universidades medievais.
A doutrina cristã da Criação ex nihilo ensina que o mundo foi criado por um Deus racional, sábio e pessoal. Portanto, o cosmos é ordenado, possui leis, e pode ser compreendido pela razão humana — que é imagem do Criador. Isso contrasta fortemente com as cosmovisões panteístas ou mitológicas, onde o mundo é cíclico, arbitrário ou habitado por forças caprichosas.
Sem essa fé no Logos criador, não há razão para crer que a natureza tenha uma ordem inteligível universal e constante, que pode ser descoberta por observação e dedução. A ciência moderna só é possível porque, antes de investigar a natureza, pressupôs-se que ela era investigável — e isso foi uma herança direta do pensamento cristão.
Homens como Bacon, Newton, Kepler e Galileu viam na ciência um modo de glorificar o Criador. O ateísmo cientificista é, portanto, parasitário da teologia cristã, pois toma seus frutos e rejeita suas raízes. A ciência moderna nasceu como filha legítima da fé cristã. E os que hoje a usam contra sua mãe, ou são ingratos, ou ignorantes.
V. O cristianismo como barreira à revolução cultural
O cristianismo é a barreira mais sólida contra a infiltração revolucionária. A chamada "marcha gramsciana", que visa corroer os fundamentos morais da sociedade para subjugar o indivíduo ao coletivo, encontra sua resistência mais firme nos princípios cristãos. A fé cristã, ao proclamar a existência de uma verdade objetiva, de uma lei moral imutável e de uma dignidade humana que transcende o Estado e o consenso social, imuniza a civilização contra o relativismo e o igualitarismo nivelador do marxismo cultural.
Além disso, o cristianismo é uma tradição milenar, profundamente enraizada no cotidiano das pessoas, não sendo uma novidade a ser imposta ou implementada, mas uma força presente há séculos, que permeia a estrutura social, moral e cultural da sociedade. Sua presença constante nas comunidades, desde os tempos mais antigos, oferece uma resistência robusta contra qualquer tentativa de subverter a ordem natural e moral estabelecida.
Não por acaso, tanto Karl Marx quanto Antonio Gramsci identificaram no cristianismo o principal obstáculo à realização de seus projetos revolucionários. Marx chamou a religião de "ópio do povo" porque sabia que uma alma ancorada em Deus não se submete facilmente ao poder terreno; Gramsci, mais sutil, propôs a destruição da cultura cristã como pré-condição para o triunfo do socialismo. Sem essa âncora transcendente, a sociedade torna-se presa fácil das engenharias sociais que pretendem redefinir arbitrariamente o homem, a família e a liberdade.
Conclusão
O libertário anticristão, consciente ou não, nega as fundações mesmas do edifício que habita. Ao rejeitar o cristianismo, cava o abismo sob os próprios pés, privando o ideal libertário de sua base moral, cultural e racional. Ele defende a ética voluntária, a liberdade individual e a ordem espontânea, mas sem o solo metafísico e histórico que torna esses princípios inteligíveis e possíveis. É um erro tentar preservar a liberdade em termos absolutos sem reconhecer as raízes cristãs que a sustentam, pois o cristianismo é a única tradição que a legitima e a viabiliza.
Negar o cristianismo é racionalmente insustentável. A liberdade, como a conhecemos, é filha da fé cristã, que oferece a base moral e metafísica que torna a liberdade tanto desejável quanto possível. Mesmo que ateu, o libertário que ama a liberdade deveria, no mínimo, respeitar — e, idealmente, redescobrir — essas raízes cristãs. Pois sem fé, restam apenas o niilismo e o relativismo, que, eventualmente, desaguam na servidão.
Como nos ensina a tradição: Ubi fides ibi libertas — onde há fé, há liberdade.

2025-05-16 20:52:42Streams are the key to nostr
Loading events from a nostr relay is probably the most inconsistent way of loading data I've had to work with, and that's only loading from a single relay. the problem gets exponentially more complicated once you try to load events from multiple relays
Unlike HTTP nostr does not have a simple flow with timeouts built in. events are sent back one at a time and can fail at any point or have massive (10s) gaps between them
The key is to use streams. something that starts, emits any number of results, then maybe errors or completes. luckily it just so happens that JavaScript / TypeScript has a great observable stream library called RxJS
What is an observable
An
Observable
in RxJS is stream a of data that are initialized lazily, which means the stream is inactive and not running until something subscribes to it```ts let stream = new Observable((observer) => { observer.next(1) observer.next(2) observer.next(3) observer.complete() })
// The stream method isn't run until its subscribed to stream.subscribe(v => console.log(v)) ```
This is super powerful and perfect for nostr because it means we don't need to manage the life-cycle of the stream. it will run when something subscribes to it and stop when unsubscribed.
Its helpful to think of this as "pulling" data. once we have created an observable we can request the data from it at any point in the future.
Pulling data from relays
We can use the lazy nature of observables to only start fetching events from a nostr relay when we need them
For example we can create an observable that will load kind 1 events from the damus relay and stream them back as they are returned from the relay
```typescript let req = new Observable((observer) => { // Create a new websocket connection when the observable is start let ws = new WebSocket('wss://relay.damus.io')
ws.onopen = () => { // Start a REQ ws.send(JSON.stringify(['REQ', 'test', {kinds: [1], limit: 20}])) }
ws.onmessage = (event) => { let message = JSON.parse(event.data) // Get the event from the message and pass it along to the subscribers if(message[0] === 'EVENT') observer.next(message[1]) }
// Cleanup subscription return () => { ws.send(JSON.stringify(['CLOSE', 'test'])) ws.close() } }) ```
But creating the observable wont do anything. we need to subscribe to it to get any events.
ts let sub = req.subscribe(event => { console.log('we got an event' event) })
Cool now we are pulling events from a relay. once we are done we can stop listening to it by unsubscribing from it
ts sub.unsubscribe()
This will call the cleanup method on the observable, which in turn closes the connection to the relay.
Hopefully you can see how this work, we don't have any
open
,connect
, ordisconnect
methods. we simply subscribe to a stream of events and it handles all the messy logic of connecting to a relayComposing and chaining observables
I've shown you how we can create a simple stream of events from a relay, but what if we want to pull from two relays?
Easy, lets make the previous example into a function that takes a relay URL
```ts function getNoteFromRelay(relay: string){ return new Observable((observer) => { let ws = new WebSocket(relay)
// ...rest of the observable...
}) } ```
Then we can "merge" two of these observables into a single observable using the
merge
method from RxJSThe
merge
method will create a single observable that subscribes to both upstream observables and sends all the events back. Think of it as pulling events from both relays at once```ts import { merge } from 'rxjs'
const notes = merge( getNoteFromRelay('wss://relay.damus.io'), getNoteFromRelay('wss://nos.lol') )
// Subscribe to the observable to start getting data from it const sub = notes.subscribe(event => { console.log(event) })
// later unsubscribe setTimeout(() => { sub.unsubscribe() }, 10_000) ```
But now we have a problem, because we are pulling events from two relays we are getting duplicate events. to solve this we can use the
.pipe
method and thedistinct
operator from RxJS to modify our single observable to only return one version of each eventThe
.pipe
method will create a chain of observables that will each subscribe to the previous one and modify the returned values in some wayThe
distinct
operator takes a method that returns a unique identifier and filters out any duplicate values```ts import { merge, distinct } from 'rxjs'
const notes = merge( getNoteFromRelay('wss://relay.damus.io'), getNoteFromRelay('wss://nos.lol') ).pipe( // filter out events we have seen before based on the event id distinct(event => event.id) ) ```
Now we have an observable that when subscribed to will connect to two relays and return a stream of events without duplicates...
As you can see things can start getting complicated fast. but its also very powerful because we aren't managing any life-cycle code, we just subscribe and unsubscribe from an observable
Taking it to an extreme
Hopefully at this point you can see how powerful this is, we can think of almost any data loading pattern as a series of observables that pull data from upstream observables and stream it back to the original subscriber.
Here is a quick sketch of what it could look like to load user profiles. each node is an observable that "pulls" data from its child node ending with the "connect websocket" or "load from database" nodes which do the work of making a relay connection
Conclusion
All this might seem pretty simple and straight forward, but its been a long six month of learning for me. I've had to completely rethink how data and nostr events should be handled in a client and how to avoid screwing up and shooting myself in the foot with these powerful tools.
If you want to give RxJS a try I would encourage you to checkout the nostr sdk I've been building called applesauce
Its uses RxJS for pretty much everything and has the simplest and most flexible relay connection API I've seen so far (mainly no life-cycle management)

@ 3b3a42d3:d192e325
2025-04-10 08:57:51Atomic Signature Swaps (ASS) over Nostr is a protocol for atomically exchanging Schnorr signatures using Nostr events for orchestration. This new primitive enables multiple interesting applications like:
- Getting paid to publish specific Nostr events
- Issuing automatic payment receipts
- Contract signing in exchange for payment
- P2P asset exchanges
- Trading and enforcement of asset option contracts
- Payment in exchange for Nostr-based credentials or access tokens
- Exchanging GMs 🌞
It only requires that (i) the involved signatures be Schnorr signatures using the secp256k1 curve and that (ii) at least one of those signatures be accessible to both parties. These requirements are naturally met by Nostr events (published to relays), Taproot transactions (published to the mempool and later to the blockchain), and Cashu payments (using mints that support NUT-07, allowing any pair of these signatures to be swapped atomically.
How the Cryptographic Magic Works 🪄
This is a Schnorr signature
(Zₓ, s)
:s = z + H(Zₓ || P || m)⋅k
If you haven't seen it before, don't worry, neither did I until three weeks ago.
The signature scalar s is the the value a signer with private key
k
(and public keyP = k⋅G
) must calculate to prove his commitment over the messagem
given a randomly generated noncez
(Zₓ
is just the x-coordinate of the public pointZ = z⋅G
).H
is a hash function (sha256 with the tag "BIP0340/challenge" when dealing with BIP340),||
just means to concatenate andG
is the generator point of the elliptic curve, used to derive public values from private ones.Now that you understand what this equation means, let's just rename
z = r + t
. We can do that,z
is just a randomly generated number that can be represented as the sum of two other numbers. It also follows thatz⋅G = r⋅G + t⋅G ⇔ Z = R + T
. Putting it all back into the definition of a Schnorr signature we get:s = (r + t) + H((R + T)ₓ || P || m)⋅k
Which is the same as:
s = sₐ + t
wheresₐ = r + H((R + T)ₓ || P || m)⋅k
sₐ
is what we call the adaptor signature scalar) and t is the secret.((R + T)ₓ, sₐ)
is an incomplete signature that just becomes valid by add the secret t to thesₐ
:s = sₐ + t
What is also important for our purposes is that by getting access to the valid signature s, one can also extract t from it by just subtracting
sₐ
:t = s - sₐ
The specific value of
t
depends on our choice of the public pointT
, sinceR
is just a public point derived from a randomly generated noncer
.So how do we choose
T
so that it requires the secret t to be the signature over a specific messagem'
by an specific public keyP'
? (without knowing the value oft
)Let's start with the definition of t as a valid Schnorr signature by P' over m':
t = r' + H(R'ₓ || P' || m')⋅k' ⇔ t⋅G = r'⋅G + H(R'ₓ || P' || m')⋅k'⋅G
That is the same as:
T = R' + H(R'ₓ || P' || m')⋅P'
Notice that in order to calculate the appropriate
T
that requirest
to be an specific signature scalar, we only need to know the public nonceR'
used to generate that signature.In summary: in order to atomically swap Schnorr signatures, one party
P'
must provide a public nonceR'
, while the other partyP
must provide an adaptor signature using that nonce:sₐ = r + H((R + T)ₓ || P || m)⋅k
whereT = R' + H(R'ₓ || P' || m')⋅P'
P'
(the nonce provider) can then add his own signature t to the adaptor signaturesₐ
in order to get a valid signature byP
, i.e.s = sₐ + t
. When he publishes this signature (as a Nostr event, Cashu transaction or Taproot transaction), it becomes accessible toP
that can now extract the signaturet
byP'
and also make use of it.Important considerations
A signature may not be useful at the end of the swap if it unlocks funds that have already been spent, or that are vulnerable to fee bidding wars.
When a swap involves a Taproot UTXO, it must always use a 2-of-2 multisig timelock to avoid those issues.
Cashu tokens do not require this measure when its signature is revealed first, because the mint won't reveal the other signature if they can't be successfully claimed, but they also require a 2-of-2 multisig timelock when its signature is only revealed last (what is unavoidable in cashu for cashu swaps).
For Nostr events, whoever receives the signature first needs to publish it to at least one relay that is accessible by the other party. This is a reasonable expectation in most cases, but may be an issue if the event kind involved is meant to be used privately.
How to Orchestrate the Swap over Nostr?
Before going into the specific event kinds, it is important to recognize what are the requirements they must meet and what are the concerns they must address. There are mainly three requirements:
- Both parties must agree on the messages they are going to sign
- One party must provide a public nonce
- The other party must provide an adaptor signature using that nonce
There is also a fundamental asymmetry in the roles of both parties, resulting in the following significant downsides for the party that generates the adaptor signature:
- NIP-07 and remote signers do not currently support the generation of adaptor signatures, so he must either insert his nsec in the client or use a fork of another signer
- There is an overhead of retrieving the completed signature containing the secret, either from the blockchain, mint endpoint or finding the appropriate relay
- There is risk he may not get his side of the deal if the other party only uses his signature privately, as I have already mentioned
- There is risk of losing funds by not extracting or using the signature before its timelock expires. The other party has no risk since his own signature won't be exposed by just not using the signature he received.
The protocol must meet all those requirements, allowing for some kind of role negotiation and while trying to reduce the necessary hops needed to complete the swap.
Swap Proposal Event (kind:455)
This event enables a proposer and his counterparty to agree on the specific messages whose signatures they intend to exchange. The
content
field is the following stringified JSON:{ "give": <signature spec (required)>, "take": <signature spec (required)>, "exp": <expiration timestamp (optional)>, "role": "<adaptor | nonce (optional)>", "description": "<Info about the proposal (optional)>", "nonce": "<Signature public nonce (optional)>", "enc_s": "<Encrypted signature scalar (optional)>" }
The field
role
indicates what the proposer will provide during the swap, either the nonce or the adaptor. When this optional field is not provided, the counterparty may decide whether he will send a nonce back in a Swap Nonce event or a Swap Adaptor event using thenonce
(optionally) provided by in the Swap Proposal in order to avoid one hop of interaction.The
enc_s
field may be used to store the encrypted scalar of the signature associated with thenonce
, since this information is necessary later when completing the adaptor signature received from the other party.A
signature spec
specifies thetype
and all necessary information for producing and verifying a given signature. In the case of signatures for Nostr events, it contain a template with all the fields, exceptpubkey
,id
andsig
:{ "type": "nostr", "template": { "kind": "<kind>" "content": "<content>" "tags": [ … ], "created_at": "<created_at>" } }
In the case of Cashu payments, a simplified
signature spec
just needs to specify the payment amount and an array of mints trusted by the proposer:{ "type": "cashu", "amount": "<amount>", "mint": ["<acceptable mint_url>", …] }
This works when the payer provides the adaptor signature, but it still needs to be extended to also work when the payer is the one receiving the adaptor signature. In the later case, the
signature spec
must also include atimelock
and the derived public keysY
of each Cashu Proof, but for now let's just ignore this situation. It should be mentioned that the mint must be trusted by both parties and also support Token state check (NUT-07) for revealing the completed adaptor signature and P2PK spending conditions (NUT-11) for the cryptographic scheme to work.The
tags
are:"p"
, the proposal counterparty's public key (required)"a"
, akind:30455
Swap Listing event or an application specific version of it (optional)
Forget about this Swap Listing event for now, I will get to it later...
Swap Nonce Event (kind:456) - Optional
This is an optional event for the Swap Proposal receiver to provide the public nonce of his signature when the proposal does not include a nonce or when he does not want to provide the adaptor signature due to the downsides previously mentioned. The
content
field is the following stringified JSON:{ "nonce": "<Signature public nonce>", "enc_s": "<Encrypted signature scalar (optional)>" }
And the
tags
must contain:"e"
, akind:455
Swap Proposal Event (required)"p"
, the counterparty's public key (required)
Swap Adaptor Event (kind:457)
The
content
field is the following stringified JSON:{ "adaptors": [ { "sa": "<Adaptor signature scalar>", "R": "<Signer's public nonce (including parity byte)>", "T": "<Adaptor point (including parity byte)>", "Y": "<Cashu proof derived public key (if applicable)>", }, …], "cashu": "<Cashu V4 token (if applicable)>" }
And the
tags
must contain:"e"
, akind:455
Swap Proposal Event (required)"p"
, the counterparty's public key (required)
Discoverability
The Swap Listing event previously mentioned as an optional tag in the Swap Proposal may be used to find an appropriate counterparty for a swap. It allows a user to announce what he wants to accomplish, what his requirements are and what is still open for negotiation.
Swap Listing Event (kind:30455)
The
content
field is the following stringified JSON:{ "description": "<Information about the listing (required)>", "give": <partial signature spec (optional)>, "take": <partial signature spec (optional)>, "examples: [<take signature spec>], // optional "exp": <expiration timestamp (optional)>, "role": "<adaptor | nonce (optional)>" }
The
description
field describes the restrictions on counterparties and signatures the user is willing to accept.A
partial signature spec
is an incompletesignature spec
used in Swap Proposal eventskind:455
where omitting fields signals that they are still open for negotiation.The

are:"d"

, topics related to this listing (optional)"p"
, public keys to notify about the proposal (optional)
Application Specific Swap Listings
Since Swap Listings are still fairly generic, it is expected that specific use cases define new event kinds based on the generic listing. Those application specific swap listing would be easier to filter by clients and may impose restrictions and add new fields and/or tags. The following are some examples under development:
Sponsored Events
This listing is designed for users looking to promote content on the Nostr network, as well as for those who want to monetize their accounts by sharing curated sponsored content with their existing audiences.
It follows the same format as the generic Swap Listing event, but uses the
kind:30456
instead.The following new tags are included:
"k"
, event kind being sponsored (required)"title"
, campaign title (optional)
It is required that at least one
signature spec
(give
and/ortake
) must have"type": "nostr"
and also contain the following tag["sponsor", "<pubkey>", "<attestation>"]
with the sponsor's public key and his signature over the signature spec without the sponsor tag as his attestation. This last requirement enables clients to disclose and/or filter sponsored events.Asset Swaps
This listing is designed for users looking for counterparties to swap different assets that can be transferred using Schnorr signatures, like any unit of Cashu tokens, Bitcoin or other asset IOUs issued using Taproot.
It follows the same format as the generic Swap Listing event, but uses the
kind:30457
instead.It requires the following additional tags:
"t"
, asset pair to be swapped (e.g."btcusd"
)"t"
, asset being offered (e.g."btc"
)"t"
, accepted payment method (e.g."cashu"
,"taproot"
)
Swap Negotiation
From finding an appropriate Swap Listing to publishing a Swap Proposal, there may be some kind of negotiation between the involved parties, e.g. agreeing on the amount to be paid by one of the parties or the exact content of a Nostr event signed by the other party. There are many ways to accomplish that and clients may implement it as they see fit for their specific goals. Some suggestions are:
- Adding
kind:1111
Comments to the Swap Listing or an existing Swap Proposal - Exchanging tentative Swap Proposals back and forth until an agreement is reached
- Simple exchanges of DMs
- Out of band communication (e.g. Signal)
Work to be done
I've been refining this specification as I develop some proof-of-concept clients to experience its flaws and trade-offs in practice. I left the signature spec for Taproot signatures out of the current document as I still have to experiment with it. I will probably find some important orchestration issues related to dealing with
2-of-2 multisig timelocks
, which also affects Cashu transactions when spent last, that may require further adjustments to what was presented here.The main goal of this article is to find other people interested in this concept and willing to provide valuable feedback before a PR is opened in the NIPs repository for broader discussions.

@ 69eea734:4ae31ae6
2025-04-01 15:33:49What to record from the last two weeks? The key points from the things I've read and watched? \ The encounters I had with various groups of people, and also one on one? (on my trip to Munich)\ My thoughts on what is going on in the world?\ It is all connected anyway.
This is my second post. The first was under a different profile, which I lost the private key to.
So close and yet apart
The various encounters: Overlapping 'camps'. School friends, friends from uni times, friends from Covid times. One friend from school, and one friend from uni did not have a Covid vaccine and were critical of measures. To think that this still matters! Can you believe it? But it does! Which is sad on one hand, and makes for strong bonds on the other.
I'm in a pub with three school friends. They discover that they all voted Green, and are delighted. They kind of congratulate each other, and themselves. I don't even know what to feel in that moment. I'm not shocked. It is not surprising. And yet I still find it astounding.
As the evening progresses, we move to a Greek restaurant round the corner. On the way there, I walk alongside the friend with whom I exchanged the most challenging emails of the last five years. There had been long pauses between replies. Once I read only the first two lines, and then 'quarantined' the mail. I once deleted one, and three weeks later asked him to send it again.
In 2023 we sat in a café and openly talked about the Corona period and our differing positions. I appreciated it. At least we could talk. Shortly after, the emphasis in our conversations shifted from Covid to Putin. One arch enemy was replaced by another. And when previously, the 'Covid deniers' were the deplorable ones, now it was the 'Putin understanders', and weren't they the same people anyway? And mentioning peace talks was right wing. It was all so predictable. Was I predictable, too? I'd sent a long email a week ago. But walking alongside each other, we preferred to talk about the kids.
At the Greek restaurant, the inevitable happened. We ended up in a massive discussion. I once was gesticulating wildly at him. "Conspiracy theorist! That is so convenient. Everything that does not fit into your worldview, becomes a conspiracy theory. That there would be a vaccine mandate was once a conspiracy theory. That the virus came from a lab was once a conspiracy theory."
On another occasion, he exclaimed: "You know that I know all that about America! You know exactly that I know all those things!"
We both knew a lot of things, and it went back and forth.
The irony was that we managed to stay respectful, and it was a discussion with the other school friend there (the fourth person on the table was my husband), that turned out to be the last straw. She had voted Green as well, and had congratulated our school mate on having been to the protest 'against the right'. But she was also the one who didn't have the vaccine, and now said, "With Covid, it was just so obvious that it was all set up." A bit later she said something about the WEF. Only to be greeted with a long tirade. "Aha. So you think this is all a big conspiracy with some powerful people in the background planning everything. And this wasn't a pandemic although lots of people died. I know six doctors, and they all told me the same." A bit later, to me: "So why did only the unvaccinated die then?" And then shortly after, when my friend stated again how the whole thing had seemed premeditated, "Right. That's enough now. I'm leaving." And he got up to pay and left.
My friend, who stayed behind, thought we had had interesting discussions and she had learned something. On reflection, it was good to have this discussion at all -- at a time that nobody seems to want to talk about Covid anymore.
But also: Shouldn't we be much much further than this???
My first sats
A few months ago I had tried to buy bitcoin, just to play around, but there had been difficulties to do with the fact I have a UK bank account. When looking at how to get funds into my getalby account, I ended up with Strike, which is available in the UK. But it seems they take extra care to make sure you know what you are letting yourself into! I had to do a test with about 10 questions to show I understand the risks.
I then had to wait 24 hours, but now I have sent my first sats.
On the Strike website, I noticed this video of a conversation between Jack Mallers, founder of Strike, and Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter. The more I watched, the more I thought, wow, here it is all in one video, all that I would like my friend to see. "America has a problem." The Empire needs to end, and it would be a good thing for America, says Jack Dorsey. This was also the second time in a week that I heard about how Great Britain had created money and bought their own bonds when the public didn't want to, in effect stealing from the people by making their money worth less. It was good to be reminded of Adam Curtis who has made some mind-blowing documentaries, using lots of BBC archive material. Including about the special US and UK relationship (An ocean apart), and also one about Russia from 1985 to 1999 (Trauma Zone).
The two Jacks talk about the importance of open source, and of being independent of government. The dangers of building abstraction on abstraction on abstraction. About how Mark Zuckerberg served Dorsey raw goat once, because he had this challenge to only eat what he had killed himself. That was also a way to get back to the real.
Dorsey endorsed RFK jr, this was in summer of 2023, when he was still running for president.
There is also an interesting bit on the pressures of running a company that has gone public. And the government interference, in effect censorship. The Twitter files. It is not quite clear to me, if it was really so difficult for Jack Dorsey to pay attention and know what was going on, but I can understand that it must have been a difficult situation.
What I also find very interesting is that in Africa or Latin America bitcoin is sometimes valuable as an exchange medium. That is where I think it could diverge from the pure Ponzi scheme that people often call it.
And yet, doubts remain. Is bitcoin not too valuable for a lot of people to spend it? But what if you don't have access to any other money. And sending Satoshis around is different from hording bitcoin. Can it fulfil both these functions in the end, storage medium and exchange medium?
I believe that these two people want to achieve something positive. But they also remain tech bros. And I don't mean that in a bad way. It is just something that will always remain a bit alien to me.
I did like what Dorsey said about the punks. How they just started to play an instrument, and didn't care if they were not good at it. Then just turned up again and again and eventually got better. I have often thought of myself as a bit punk-like in that respect, although I've often been worried about not being good enough.
Doing away with domination
The last blog article posted on a website I work on, made me explore the writings by Darren Allen on his Expressive Egg substack. I had landed there before, years ago, and had been very impressed back then. He seems to criticise people's thoughts a lot though -- almost everybody's -- and I was wondering if that was all he ever did. But then I came across this article about anarchy. It made me realise again, in all this mess about different worldviews, different expectations and values, that this is a constant for me: How can we have less coercion, how can we live in a way that frees ourselves and others at the same time. I once saw a Twitter bio: "I insist on your freedom." It seems to come from Jack Kerouac.
Allen writes that there are seven dominants, seven elements that "control individuals against their will". They are, " in roughly ascending order of subtlety and pervasiveness":
1. The [autocratic] monarchy.\ 2. The [socialist-democratic] state (which includes its money, law, property, police, etc.).\ 3. The [totalitarian-capitalist] corporation.\ 4. The [mass] majority.\ 5. The [professional-religious] institution.\ 6. The [technocratic] system.\ 7. The [mental-emotional] ego.
I want to keep this list in mind and pay attention when I get sucked into the influence of one of these spheres.
\ I also like this quote:
The reason men and women do not need kings, princes, states, professionals, institutions and systems to rule over them is because the life within them is more intelligent, more apt, more sensitive, more forgiving and more creative than anything else—certainly any human authority. But this life cannot be rationally fixed. It can be expressed, artistically, indirectly, poetically, musically, or with tone and glance and such ordinary, metaphorical arts of human interaction; but it cannot be literally stated.
\ Although this would be a good ending for this post, I have to mention Jeffrey Sachs as well. I have been following him for a while. He appeared in the EU parliament, invited by Michael von der Schulenburg. Sachs has an amazing amount of experience with both Russian and American government officials, and with currencies. In the 90s he spent some time helping Eastern European countries with the transition to capitalist systems. He realised that the U.S. did not want to help Russia in the same way.
He gave a long speech in which he laid bare the ways in which the U.S. had influenced so many wars and uprisings around the world, and how the NATO enlargement had been a long-term strategy. That now, with Trump, the war was going to end.
There would be so much more to say. In any case, this seems to me a historic speech. Can it break through the mirror glass that has kept so many people away from valid sources of knowledge?

2025-05-16 18:40:18Die zwei mächtigsten Krieger sind Geduld und Zeit. \ Leo Tolstoi
Zum Wohle unserer Gesundheit, unserer Leistungsfähigkeit und letztlich unseres Glücks ist es wichtig, die eigene Energie bewusst zu pflegen. Das gilt umso mehr für an gesellschaftlichen Themen interessierte, selbstbewusste und kritisch denkende Menschen. Denn für deren Wahrnehmung und Wohlbefinden waren und sind die rasanten, krisen- und propagandagefüllten letzten Jahre in Absurdistan eine harte Probe.
Nur wer regelmäßig Kraft tankt und Wege findet, mit den Herausforderungen umzugehen, kann eine solche Tortur überstehen, emotionale Erschöpfung vermeiden und trotz allem zufrieden sein. Dazu müssen wir erkunden, was uns Energie gibt und was sie uns raubt. Durch Selbstreflexion und Achtsamkeit finden wir sicher Dinge, die uns erfreuen und inspirieren, und andere, die uns eher stressen und belasten.
Die eigene Energie ist eng mit unserer körperlichen und mentalen Gesundheit verbunden. Methoden zur Förderung der körperlichen Gesundheit sind gut bekannt: eine ausgewogene Ernährung, regelmäßige Bewegung sowie ausreichend Schlaf und Erholung. Bei der nicht minder wichtigen emotionalen Balance wird es schon etwas komplizierter. Stress abzubauen, die eigenen Grenzen zu kennen oder solche zum Schutz zu setzen sowie die Konzentration auf Positives und Sinnvolles wären Ansätze.
Der emotionale ist auch der Bereich, über den «Energie-Räuber» bevorzugt attackieren. Das sind zum Beispiel Dinge wie Überforderung, Perfektionismus oder mangelhafte Kommunikation. Social Media gehören ganz sicher auch dazu. Sie stehlen uns nicht nur Zeit, sondern sind höchst manipulativ und erhöhen laut einer aktuellen Studie das Risiko für psychische Probleme wie Angstzustände und Depressionen.
Geben wir negativen oder gar bösen Menschen keine Macht über uns. Das Dauerfeuer der letzten Jahre mit Krisen, Konflikten und Gefahren sollte man zwar kennen, darf sich aber davon nicht runterziehen lassen. Das Ziel derartiger konzertierter Aktionen ist vor allem, unsere innere Stabilität zu zerstören, denn dann sind wir leichter zu steuern. Aber Geduld: Selbst vermeintliche «Sonnenköniginnen» wie EU-Kommissionspräsidentin von der Leyen fallen, wenn die Zeit reif ist.
Es ist wichtig, dass wir unsere ganz eigenen Bedürfnisse und Werte erkennen. Unsere Energiequellen müssen wir identifizieren und aktiv nutzen. Dazu gehören soziale Kontakte genauso wie zum Beispiel Hobbys und Leidenschaften. Umgeben wir uns mit Sinnhaftigkeit und lassen wir uns nicht die Energie rauben!
Mein Wahlspruch ist schon lange: «Was die Menschen wirklich bewegt, ist die Kultur.» Jetzt im Frühjahr beginnt hier in Andalusien die Zeit der «Ferias», jener traditionellen Volksfeste, die vor Lebensfreude sprudeln. Konzentrieren wir uns auf die schönen Dinge und auf unsere eigenen Talente – soziale Verbundenheit wird helfen, unsere innere Kraft zu stärken und zu bewahren.

2025-05-16 16:51:11In the year 2023, a man known as RTD. HAMZA AL-MUSTAPHA. In a TV show revealed the secret behind the mining of californium in west African country, Nigeria. He also revealed that the mining of californium is also the reason while a particular (borno) state in Nigeria 🇳🇬 experience hight rate of terrorism!.
There are several research that quote that californium does not exist naturally on earth but can be made in the laboratory with the bombarding of curium with helium ions. Now from this context, it shows that there are two elements responsible for californium, which are curium and helium ions. But before i dive in deeper, there are some key words that will convince and prove the existence of californium in Nigeria.
- californium.
- curium.
- helium ions.
- mining.
- Earth crust.
- temperature.
- bombarding.
Californium: this is a chemical element of atomic number 98, a radioactive metal of the actinide series, first produced by bombarding of curium with helium ions. This means that californium is a product of curium and helium after the bombarding process.
Curium: this is a synthetic, radioactive, metallic element with the atomic number of 96. There are many ways and places where curium can be found apart from being produced in the laboratory. But in this contexts, I will focus on environmental samples and nuclear waste ways of finding curium. _ environment sample: trace amounts of Curium can be found in environmental samples such as soil or water, near
nuclear facilities or after nuclear accidents. _ nuclear waste: curium is a component of nuclear waste, particularly in spent nuclear fuel. This means that we can find curium in our environment not only on laboratory.Helium: helium is a chemical element with the atomic number of 2, it is colorless, tasteless, odorless and non toxic, inert monatomic gas. There are ways and places you can get helium but I want to focus on the radioactive decay method of getting helium. _radioactive decay: in this method, helium is produced through the radioactive decay of uranium and thorium in the Earth crust.
Mining: Mining is the process of extracting valuable materials from the beneath the Earth crust, including minerals, metals, and fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas. It involves various techniques, from digging tunnels for underground mining to excavating open-pit mines. The goal is to locate and extract economically viable deposits of these resources for use in manufacturing, energy production, and other applications.
Temperature: thus is the hotness or coldness of something, which is specifically related to the average kinetic energy of an object's particle. Since particles are in constant motion, they possess kinetic energy, and temperature reflects the energy associated with this particle movement. The temperature beneath the Earth is very high causing this elements (curium and helium) to bombard and form californium 😃.
Bombarding: direct a stream of high-speed particles at (a substance) or element.
Since there are the presence of curium and helium ions beneath the Earth crust, the high temperature beneath there will bombard them both forming californium as the end product, which attracts miners to come do there mining activities and discover californium. 😀
Final, there are atoms of truth in what RTD. AL-MUSTAPHA said about CALIFORNIUM in Nigeria 🇳🇬.

2025-03-22 01:16:01Deutsche Version\ \ Recently, I was on Zoom with someone who has been involved in sustainable living for decades and has built a community around it. "I find it easier to talk to people on the right. They're more open." And then something like: "If you say something to the left that doesn't fit in with their concept, they immediately reject it reflexively."
This is someone who comes from a working-class town, sees too much power in the big corporations and is also sceptical about the state. Things that I would classify as traditionally left-wing.
Even though it often seems that this categorisation no longer makes sense, we still use the terms left and right - mainly along traditional party lines. In Germany, SPD, Greens and the Left (the BSW has been deemed not to fit in). In the UK, Labour. In the USA, the Democrats.
Why does the assessment I mentioned at the beginning ring so true to me? I want to get to the bottom of the difficulties I have with the group I once felt I belonged to one hundred per cent.
On the side of the good guys
There always seems to be a clear path. There is only one reasonable view. This reflects a simple, to-the-point truth. "If a country is attacked, it must be allowed to defend itself." That is incontestable. Just like "every person who dies because of Covid is one too many."
Additional, potentially relevant information is no longer of interest from that point onwards. The question of "How can this conflict be ended as quickly as possible?" hardly comes up at all. The roles are clear. The aggressor represents absolute evil, is solely to blame and is either mad or driven by imperial desires, probably both.
If it was all so clear, one wonders why people who simply wanted to give more context to what was happening - wouldn't it be good to know more context to a conflict in order to deal with it better? - were deprived of any platform. (1) They were also labelled in a way that justified simply not listening to them if a video did get through to someone. If everything was so clear, why not deal with the arguments on a factual base?
Even if you reached the conclusion that weapons should be supplied to Ukraine on a long-term basis - isn't it still worth knowing that there were already peace negotiations in Istanbul in March 2022, which were at a very advanced state, when Zelensky was advised by the UK and the USA to continue fighting ("We will support you")?
What perplexes me the most is how carelessly the war is being handled. How quickly we have landed on the side that is most likely to mean a long war and maximum profit for the arms industry. (2) "Putin started it and is solely to blame, and now we have to fight him to the max" trumps the possibility of even thinking about diplomatic channels.
Would this have been the case 20 years ago? Or 40? At school we sang ‘Where have all the flowers gone?’ many times, and it always touched me. On the radio you could hear Bruce Springsteen singing War, and Paul Hardcastle's Nineteen. All that seems forgotten now.
And even if it was Putin's long-cherished plan to invade Ukraine and take over parts of it: Why then was he so readily given an excuse? Why give him something that, if it can never be a real justification, can be interpreted as such by him? (3) In other words: If you look at recent history, this war appears to have been absolutely avoidable had the US behaved differently.
Instead, they supported Ukraine in defending "our values’" and saw "Western democracies" under threat. With Trump's inauguration, we can now see just how far American democracy has sunk.
The progressive-liberal world is now in an uproar. And easily overlooks the fact that under the Democrats, especially Obama, the foundations were laid for far-reaching censorship and manipulation of public opinion. Their effects were clearly visible to anyone who disagreed with the coronavirus regime, even those of us across the pond.
Why I don't feel comfortable: Because I have the feeling that, out of a need to be moral and good, people have gone down a wrong track a second time, again with disastrous consequences. Or rather, they didn't want to see their error of judgement the first time round, and continue in a similar way. Both times with a war logic which aims to crush an enemy, while neglecting enormous ‘collateral’ damage that follows on from it.
The Democrats as a reactive force
The article I started has been sitting here for a while, and there are so many ways to continue it. - My original plan covered so many topics that I will need to split it up into more texts.
Also, a number of further outrageous events have happened meanwhile. The Trump administration is now really taking on fascist overtones, with the internment of a leader of pro-Palestinian student protests, Mahmoud Khalil, and the deportation of over 200 alleged Venezuelan gang members to a security prison in El Salvador. The whole thing seems like a huge spectacle, with videos accompanied by music, reminiscent of advertising films. Something is being demonstrated here. Simply power? Malice, spite? The rule of law, which has not really worked for a long time, is thoroughly being undermined.
Every now and then a podcast comes along that amazes and impresses me, because it breaks the usual categorisations and at the same time expresses many truths.
Link to the podcast: https://jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/we-are-in-the-crisis-a-conversation
Here's a woman, Danielle Moodie, who founded a radio station called Woke AF during Trump's first term, in conversation with author Jared Sexton, who writes a sub-stack called Notes from a collapsing state in addition to books. They address the events mentioned above, and remind us of Martin Niemöller's "Als die Nazis die Kommunisten holten..." (When the Nazis came for the Communists...) because of the lack of opposition.
Large sections, especially in the second half, are a merciless reckoning with the Democrats. According to the two, they are more concerned with keeping the stock market afloat than doing anything for disadvantaged citizens. The alleged support for minorities (floats at the Pride Parade, kneeling, etc.) was always just window dressing.
Moodie once exclaims that what happens again and again is this: "Democrats don't lose the plot, they don't even know where the fuck it is. ’ And Sexton once remarks that the opposition is more of a counterweight designed to keep things going the way they are. "The Democratic Party has become reactive and conservative and has no actual vision for solving any of the problems."
They touch on a few other things: That it's necessary to act in a decentralised way, and that you should start things even if you won't see the results of your actions yourself. And a few other things.
Not only from this podcast, but from many others, and from articles, it becomes clear that the Democrats - like the ‘left’ in many other countries - have their supporters mainly in the middle class, the "professioal-managerial class", and are -- perhaps often unconsciously -- more concerned with maintaining the status they have achieved than really caring about social issues.
In bed with the Russians
Another interesting publication I came across recently, is by a Russian couple who emigrated to America: Nefarious Russians. The podcast that goes along with it, is called In Bed with the Russians. It's very much about the cultural side of things, but not only.
What I found very interesting is the assessment of Evgenia, who grew up in Russia in the 90s. In short, that the country, or at least Moscow, was colonised by American culture. Her friends eventually made a good career for themselves and she was initially delighted with how everything developed. However, her friends themselves apparently didn't see it that way, but always looked longingly towards America, which they imagined to be much better. At some point, Evgenia realised that Russian culture had actually become a poor copy of American culture. - This is an abridged version and I hope not too distorted.
On Putin: The idea that he wants to recreate the Soviet Union is fundamentally wrong. He and his leadership team would much rather recreate the pre-revolutionary Russia.
I haven't found anything on whether NATO's eastward expansion played a role in the invasion of Ukraine. But the authors are definitely neither Trump nor Putin fans.
There's also interesting stories of ‘weaponised immigrants’, i.e. former Soviet citizens who were then immediately used for propaganda purposes against their old homeland.
Since I am writing about native Russians, I would also like to mention Tessa Lena, who for me was one of the most important authors in the Covid era, and who already in April 2020 saw through the technocracy that came with it. I am very grateful to her.
I wrote about the conflict with Russia because it is currently topical and gives rise to war propaganda. I have not found any justification for the fact that Russia is supposed to be on Germany's doorstep
My conclusion on the former left: It's a force that has forgotten its former ideals, indulges in declarations of solidarity and is otherwise more concerned with maintaining the status quo than wringing concessions from the state. It pushes for climate protection, but makes an exception for one of the biggest CO2 emitters, the military, which is not even discussed.
Perhaps it really is outdated to think in these categories. In any case, I no longer feel that I belong to any one direction.
The key is to find allies, regardless of which direction they come from. Building support structures outside of politics. The Commons is a good idea, and I want to write more about it in the future. For this time, I've landed on global politics, which ultimately it does influence what is happening locally. As always, it is important to keep the right balance.
(1): In Germany, one of the main figures treated like that is Gabriele Krone-Schmalz, who has given several well-founded presentations
(2): Antje Vollmer, Green politician and vice president of the German parliament, shortly before her death wrote impressively about rearmament and the transformation of the Greens into a party of war:: https://epaper.berliner-zeitung.de/article/ea77236b6b434f4d5fc01cace486274626d2c168ae5896b667f2d021d2ced5ce
(3): The comments on this article show how it is possible to have an open and respectful discussion. People from the Balkan states have their say here, who oppose the narrative that the revolutions in the former Soviet republics were always controlled by the USA. https://iainmcgilchrist.substack.com/p/laughter-in-heaven

2025-05-16 14:23:39I used to think I thrived on chaos. Podcasts blaring, TV on in the background, notifications pinging—it was my norm. But last year, I hit a wall. I was irritable, foggy, and couldn’t focus. I didn’t realize how much the constant noise was frying my brain until I tried something radical: silence.
The Experiment One weekend, I turned everything off. No music, no screens, no chatter. At first, it was weird—almost suffocating. My mind raced, looking for something to latch onto. But after a few hours, I settled in. I sat with a cup of tea, just listening to the hum of the fridge. It was the first time in months I’d actually heard my own thoughts
What Silence Gave Me That quiet weekend was a reset. I started noticing things I’d ignored—like how tense I’d been or how I’d been avoiding tough decisions. Silence didn’t just calm me; it forced me to face myself. I kept it up, carving out 30 minutes a day with no sound. It’s become my sanity-saver. When life gets loud, those quiet moments keep me grounded. Turns out, my brain needed the break. All that noise was overloading me, leaving no room to process anything. Silence let me recharge and think clearly again. It’s not about being a hermit—it’s about giving myself space to breathe.

2025-03-09 15:22:43Last fall, Italian economist Mario Draghi, former head of the European Central Bank (ECB), published his 400-page report on Europe's (actually the EU's) competitiveness. Draghi's verdict was harsh: Europe is facing an "existential challenge." It's hard to disagree. While the EU is launching new regulations on plastic corks and hiding text messages from the public, Elon Musk is changing the world with groundbreaking innovations in the automotive, robotics, and space industries.
At the same time that the EU is not only preventing people from trying new things but also preventing them from even thinking about trying, Musk's space company SpaceX is capturing massive star rockets with "chopstick grips". While the EU is stuck in an ocean of meaningless bureaucratic details, Musk is engaged in a process of constant testing and improvement, reminiscent of the natural course of decentralized systems.
The EU's meager economic growth can be compared to a ticking time bomb that threatens to explode in all of our faces. Disposable incomes have increased nearly twice as much in the US compared to the EU since 2000, and this is a difference that is noticeable not only in our standard of living but also in our opportunities for leisure time. As the late economist Robert Lucas said, "Once you start thinking about growth, it's hard to think about anything else." Perhaps the best thing that can be said about the report is that its abundance of words, numbers, and images underscores how bad things are. And perhaps it has therefore become impossible for the EU's leaders to continue ignoring the union's problems.
Like giving a shark responsibility for beach safety
However, asking a former EU president to investigate and propose changes is like giving a shark responsibility for beach safety. Among other things, he proposes larger allocations for research and development, even though the EU already spends more than the US as a percentage of GDP - it's thus impossible for this to be the problem. It comes as no surprise that the proposals are about more centralization, harmonization, and streamlining - i.e., continuing in the same old tracks. While Musk seems to have an intuitive understanding of how knowledge arises through real-world experiments , what is proposed here is more of the administrative bureaucracy's preconceived five-year plans. The bureaucracy is to be given free rein, and the nations are to be pushed back - a repeat of a theme we know all too well. Centralization undermines real knowledge growth, which may explain why the EU is falling behind.
A venomous snake that is ignored
Rent-seeking is like a venomous snake that slithers through the EU's corridors, but the concept is conspicuous by its absence in Draghi's report. It is a well-known phenomenon where companies spend resources on influencing decision-makers to gain advantages instead of creating value. The EU bureaucracy has produced a total of 13,000 legislative acts since 2019 - more than four times as many as the US. How many of these have received an invisible stamp of approval from lobbyists? Economist Jeffrey Sachs has warned that American lobbying in Brussels is so dominant that it affects all decision-making in the digital economy, which may be one of the EU's biggest problems. GDPR regulations, for example, are estimated to have reduced small tech companies' profits by 15% (!).
Size is not everything
Small businesses are the invisible heroes that contribute most to productivity and employment growth. These are being suffocated by the ECB's actions and the constantly increasing and inefficient regulatory mess. The ECB's war on small banks hampers growth for small businesses because large banks prioritize large transactions. Big computers' algorithms cannot replace small banks' local knowledge. Harmful regulations and grandiose dreams lead to a loss of both knowledge and growth.
What should the end goal be?
Sweden's daily Dagens Industri's editorial page recently wrote that "Defeat is not an option" on the theme of green transition. It asked whether "free democracies or a Chinese dictatorship should lead the way." Large-scale industrial projects and plans can undoubtedly provide benefits. But it's worth questioning whether Europe should really have the same end goal as China.
During both the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution, decentralized power structures played a crucial role. During the Renaissance, states and cities were relatively independent. Power was decentralized to princes, nobles, and merchants. The Church had an important role, but it was not as centralized as it would become. Florence, Venice, and Amsterdam could develop different scientific and artistic traditions. When one region encountered problems, other regions could continue to develop and grow, and so on. At that time - even if the concept did not exist - it seemed to be understood that the economy is a complex system of the second order. Or a computationally irreducible one, as Stephen Wolfram would have expressed it.
In the book "The Art of War," Chinese General Sun Tzu wrote that "He who chooses the battlefield first will win. He who lets his opponent choose the battlefield will lose." Instead of striving to play on China's (alleged) centralized battlefield, perhaps we Europeans should consider returning to our roots. Do away with the bureaucracy's heavy foot and give power back to the individual! Scrap the monster banks and create conditions for small local banks instead. Stop subsidizing American IT giants' data centers and give every European an AI in their own hand. Forget the five-year plans and invest in decentralized economic experiments instead. Does that sound radical?
The word "radical" comes from the Latin word for root, radix . The word used to have a positive connotation because it implied a willingness to go to the root of the problem or to return to one's roots.
More of us should dare to question the modern structures that brought us to today's sad situation. Roots are a plant's strength - without them, it cannot grow and flourish. So it is with Europe. Our continent, which was once a thriving garden where ideas and innovations bloomed, needs to return to its roots to regain its former strength. This may be exactly what is required.
Put simply: a more radical Europe.

2025-03-02 14:13:43With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), we face a future where we may soon have access to almost everything we desire – at least in the digital realm. But unfortunately, what we wish for doesn’t always align with what we truly need, or what would benefit us.
The Dutch ethologist Niko Tinbergen was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1973 for his studies of animal behaviour patterns. While earlier scientists had primarily focused on learning as the main explanation for animal behaviour, Tinbergen instead emphasised instincts.
Tinbergen studied, among other things, what makes newly hatched bird chicks beg for food from their parents. This was investigated by presenting parentless chicks with various painted beak models to see which ones they would seek food from. Several objects proved more popular than real gull beaks.
Artificial eggs were also created and placed in bird nests. Black-headed gulls that received wooden eggs before laying their own were found to actually refrain from laying real eggs. Fake eggs were painted in different colours and patterns, and made in various sizes. The gulls always preferred trying to incubate eggs of absurd sizes – for example eggs with eight times the volume of real ones. The poor gulls made desperate attempts to sit on these giant eggs – but often slid off.
The explanation for the gulls’ self-destructive behaviour was that they had a hardwired ability (instinct) to respond to specific stimuli (appearance of beaks and eggs with particular colours/sizes). Researchers exaggerated these stimuli, creating stronger but ultimately misguided reactions. The concept of "superstimuli" was hatched. Nothing in the gulls’ evolution had prepared them for these experiments, explaining their self-destructive behaviors.
Psychologist Deirdre Barrett has translated this concept to a human context. She argues that superstimuli govern human behaviours much like they do other animals’, citing junk food consumption, addictive social media use, and pornography consumption as examples. Nothing in Homo sapiens’ evolution prepared us for modern society’s stimuli, which might explain our frequently self-destructive behaviours.
When the Liberal Party (Swedish political party Liberalerna) proposes mandatory porn filters on all mobile phones "to protect children and youth," it might appear they’re on the right track. However, these issues deserve more profound discussions.
How do we create technical solutions that meet our fundamental needs for health, education, and human connection – rather than just supplying mindless scrolling entertainment? How can we ensure those collecting our data don’t exploit it for their own interests, selling us things we don’t need? Is the current model of centralisation, corporate giants, and profit maximisation really compatible with our best interests?
In summary: How can we ensure future technology serves our real needs, rather than mislead us - much like Niko Tinbergen deceived the poor gulls?

2025-05-16 14:08:51In the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrencies, the potential interplay between artificial intelligence and digital assets has captured significant attention. Cointelegraph recently reported on the concept of AI, particularly in the form of ChatGPT, contributing to the potential rise of Bitcoin, potentially reaching a value of $100K in 2024. This development offers a glimpse into the role of AI in shaping the direction of cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin.
AI’s Role in Shaping Bitcoin’s Future: ChatGPT, an advanced language model powered by artificial intelligence, has been seen as a potential assistant in driving Bitcoin’s value upwards. The underlying premise is rooted in AI’s capacity to influence market analysis, comprehend and design trading strategies, and anticipate potential trends in the cryptocurrency sector. By leveraging vast amounts of data and analyzing complex patterns, ChatGPT could provide insights that impact investment decisions and market.
AI-Powered Market Analysis and Prediction One of the key ways AI, represented by ChatGPT, can aid Bitcoin’s value appreciation is through advanced market analysis and prediction. By assimilating and processing large datasets encompassing historical price movements, trading volumes, market sentiment, and external factors, AI can potentially forecast potential price changes with a higher degree of accuracy. This analytical capability could equip investors with valuable insights regarding optimal entry and exit points, thus potentially contributing to Bitcoin’s upward trajectory. Furthermore, AI’s predictive abilities extend to discerning macroeconomic and geopolitical developments that could impact Bitcoin’s value, enabling proactive decision-making in response to dynamic market conditions. This foresight could instill confidence among investors and potentially drive greater adoption and investment in Bitcoin, which contributed to its ascent $100K mark.
Influencing Trading Strategies AI-driven trading strategies have gained prominence in financial markets, and their potential impact on Bitcoin’s valuation is noteworthy. ChatGPT’s capacity to generate and optimize trading algorithms that respond to market conditions in real-time could potentially enhance trading efficiency and liquidity in Bitcoin markets.

The Double Ratchet Algorithm
The Double Ratchet is a key rotation algorithm for secure private messaging.
It allows us to 1) communicate on Nostr without revealing metadata (who you are communicating with and when), and 2) keep your message history and future messages safe even if your main Nostr key is compromised.
Additionally, it enables disappearing messages that become undecryptable when past message decryption keys are discarded after use.
See also: NIP-118: Nostr Double Ratchet Invites
Overview
"Double ratchet" means we use 2 "ratchets": cryptographic functions that can be rotated forward, but not backward: current keys can be used to derive next keys, but not the other way around.
Ratchet 1 uses Diffie-Hellman (DH) shared secrets and is rotated each time the other participant acknowledges a new key we have sent along with a previous message.
Ratchet 2 generates encryption keys for each message. It rotates after every message, using the previous message's key as input (and the Ratchet 1 key when it rotates). This process ensures forward secrecy for consecutive messages from the same sender in between Ratchet 1 rotations.
Nostr implementation
We implement the Double Ratchet Algorithm on Nostr similarly to Signal's Double Ratchet with header encryption, but encrypting the message headers with NIP-44 conversation keys instead of symmetric header keys.
Ratchet 1 keys are standard Nostr keys. In addition to encryption, they are also used for publishing and subscribing to messages on Nostr. As they are rotated and not linked to public Nostr identities, metadata privacy is preserved.
Nostr event format
Message
Outer event
typescript { kind: 1060, content: encryptedInnerEvent, tags: [["header", encryptedHeader]], pubkey: ratchetPublicKey, created_at, id, sig }
We subscribe to Double Ratchet events based on author public keys which are ephemeral — not used for other purposes than the Double Ratchet session. We use the regular event kind
1060
to differentiate it from other DM kinds, retrieval of which may be restricted by relays.The encrypted header contains our next nostr public key, our previous sending chain length and the current message number.
Inner event
Inner events must be NIP-59 Rumors (unsigned Nostr events) allowing plausible deniability.
With established Nostr event kinds, clients can implement all kinds of features, such as replies, reactions, and encrypted file sharing in private messages.
Direct message and encrypted file messages are defined in NIP-17.
Algorithm
Signal's Double Ratchet with header encryption document is a comprehensive description and explanation of the algorithm.
In this NIP, the algorithm is only described in code, in order to highlight differences to the Signal implementation.
External functions
We use the following Nostr functions (NIP-01):
generateSecretKey()
for creating Nostr private keysfinalizeEvent(partialEvent, secretKey)
for creating valid Nostr events with pubkey, id and signature
We use NIP-44 functions for encryption:
nip44.encrypt
nip44.decrypt
nip44.getConversationKey
- createRumor
Key derivation function:
```typescript export function kdf( input1: Uint8Array, input2: Uint8Array = new Uint8Array(32), numOutputs: number = 1 ): Uint8Array[] { const prk = hkdf_extract(sha256, input1, input2);
const outputs: Uint8Array[] = []; for (let i = 1; i <= numOutputs; i++) { outputs.push(hkdf_expand(sha256, prk, new Uint8Array([i]), 32)); } return outputs; } ```
Session state
With this information you can start or continue a Double Ratchet session. Save it locally after each sent and received message.
```typescript interface SessionState { theirCurrentNostrPublicKey?: string; theirNextNostrPublicKey: string;
ourCurrentNostrKey?: KeyPair; ourNextNostrKey: KeyPair;
rootKey: Uint8Array; receivingChainKey?: Uint8Array; sendingChainKey?: Uint8Array;
sendingChainMessageNumber: number; receivingChainMessageNumber: number; previousSendingChainMessageCount: number;
// Cache of message & header keys for handling out-of-order messages // Indexed by Nostr public key, which you can use to resubscribe to unreceived messages skippedKeys: { [pubKey: string]: { headerKeys: Uint8Array[]; messageKeys: { [msgIndex: number]: Uint8Array }; }; }; } ```
Initialization
Alice is the chat initiator and Bob is the recipient. Ephemeral keys were exchanged earlier.
```typescript static initAlice( theirEphemeralPublicKey: string, ourEphemeralNostrKey: KeyPair, sharedSecret: Uint8Array ) { // Generate ephemeral key for the next ratchet step const ourNextNostrKey = generateSecretKey();
// Use ephemeral ECDH to derive rootKey and sendingChainKey const [rootKey, sendingChainKey] = kdf( sharedSecret, nip44.getConversationKey(ourEphemeralNostrKey.private, theirEphemeralPublicKey), 2 );
return { rootKey, theirNextNostrPublicKey: theirEphemeralPublicKey, ourCurrentNostrKey: ourEphemeralNostrKey, ourNextNostrKey, receivingChainKey: undefined, sendingChainKey, sendingChainMessageNumber: 0, receivingChainMessageNumber: 0, previousSendingChainMessageCount: 0, skippedKeys: {}, }; }
static initBob( theirEphemeralPublicKey: string, ourEphemeralNostrKey: KeyPair, sharedSecret: Uint8Array ) { return { rootKey: sharedSecret, theirNextNostrPublicKey: theirEphemeralPublicKey, // Bob has no ‘current’ key at init time — Alice will send to next and trigger a ratchet step ourCurrentNostrKey: undefined, ourNextNostrKey: ourEphemeralNostrKey, receivingChainKey: undefined, sendingChainKey: undefined, sendingChainMessageNumber: 0, receivingChainMessageNumber: 0, previousSendingChainMessageCount: 0, skippedKeys: {}, }; }
```
Sending messages
```typescript sendEvent(event: Partial
) { const innerEvent = nip59.createRumor(event) const [header, encryptedData] = this.ratchetEncrypt(JSON.stringify(innerEvent)); const conversationKey = nip44.getConversationKey(this.state.ourCurrentNostrKey.privateKey, this.state.theirNextNostrPublicKey); const encryptedHeader = nip44.encrypt(JSON.stringify(header), conversationKey);
const outerEvent = finalizeEvent({ content: encryptedData, kind: MESSAGE_EVENT_KIND, tags: [["header", encryptedHeader]], created_at: Math.floor(now / 1000) }, this.state.ourCurrentNostrKey.privateKey);
// Publish outerEvent on Nostr, store inner locally if needed return {outerEvent, innerEvent}; }
ratchetEncrypt(plaintext: string): [Header, string] { // Rotate sending chain key const [newSendingChainKey, messageKey] = kdf(this.state.sendingChainKey!, new Uint8Array([1]), 2); this.state.sendingChainKey = newSendingChainKey; const header: Header = { number: this.state.sendingChainMessageNumber++, nextPublicKey: this.state.ourNextNostrKey.publicKey, previousChainLength: this.state.previousSendingChainMessageCount }; return [header, nip44.encrypt(plaintext, messageKey)]; } ```

„Die gesellschaftliche Funktion der Wirtschaftswissenschaft besteht gerade darin, solide Wirtschaftstheorien zu entwickeln und die Irrtümer bösartiger Denkweisen zu entlarven. Bei der Verfolgung dieser Aufgabe zieht der Wirtschaftswissenschaftler die tödliche Feindschaft aller Schwindler und Scharlatane auf sich, deren Abkürzungen zum irdischen Paradies er entlarvt. Je weniger diese Quacksalber in der Lage sind, plausible Einwände gegen die Argumente eines Ökonomen vorzubringen, desto wütender beschimpfen sie ihn.“
- Ludwig von Mises, „Nationalökonomie, Theorie des Handelns und Wirtschaftens”
Das „toxischste" an einem Bitcoin-Maximalisten ist seine unerschütterliche Bereitschaft, „Nein” zu sagen. Nach dem Studium der Geldtheorie und -geschichte und der Erfahrung mit den unerbittlichen Kräften des Marktes, hat der Bitcoiner ein Verständnis für die Realität des monetären Wettbewerbs, ein Bewusstsein für die kritische Natur dezentraler Systeme, einen Fokus auf die Lösung der wichtigsten monetären Probleme und eine strikte Ablehnung der unvermeidlichen Ablenkungen, Opportunitätskosten und ethischen Bedenken bei der Einführung und Förderung von Altcoin-Projekten.
Einige Kritiker bemängeln unhöfliche rhetorische Schnörkel, die als Hindernis für die Gewinnung neuer Bitcoin-Nutzer angesehen werden. Wenn das wahr wäre, gäbe es in der Arbeitsteilung eine Chance für eine qualitativ hochwertigere Bitcoin-Ausbildung, die die Bitcoiner meiner Meinung nach gerne wahrnehmen würden, vor allem die Kritiker, die die bestehenden Unzulänglichkeiten besser erkennen. Doch egal, wie höflich die Bitcoiner ihre Ansichten darlegen, bestimmte Möchtegern-Unternehmer und Influencer werden immer im Streit mit einer leidenschaftlichen Bevölkerungsgruppe stehen, die einfach nicht interessiert ist - und ihr Desinteresse lautstark kundtut. Die „toxischsten" Bitcoiner sind oft diejenigen, die die Weisheit der Bitcoiner erst erkannt haben, nachdem sie von Shitcoins verbrannt wurden und ihr neu gefundenes Desinteresse unmissverständlich zum Ausdruck bringen wollen.
Was soll man also als Bitcoiner tun? Ich empfehle, sich der Wahrheit und der Förderung der Wahrheit zu verschreiben und die Wirksamkeit von Rhetorik an ihrem langfristigen Einfluss und nicht an ihrer kurzfristigen Popularität zu messen.
In dieser Hinsicht sollten sich die Bitcoiner von dem ursprünglichen toxischen Maximalisten inspirieren lassen: Ludwig von Mises. Der bedeutende Wirtschaftswissenschaftler setzte sich unbeirrt für die Wahrheit, freie Märkte und gesundes Geld ein und scheute sich nicht, das zu sagen, was gesagt werden musste, auch wenn er sich damit keine Freunde machte. Langfristig wurde er zu einem der einflussreichsten Ökonomen und Denker des 20. Jahrhunderts, und seine Arbeit hat den Weg für den Bitcoin geebnet.
Mises, der Geldmaximalist
Einer der Hauptkritikpunkte an den Bitcoin-Maximalisten ist die Behauptung, dass die Welt auf Bitcoin (als Geld) konvergieren wird und es generell keine Verwendung für andere Währungen gibt. Dies wird als normative Aussage betrachtet. In Wirklichkeit machen die Bitcoiner eine positive, beschreibende Aussage darüber, wie der monetäre Wettbewerb funktioniert.
In der 1912 veröffentlichten Theorie des Geldes und der Umlaufmittel schrieb Mises:
„So haben die Erfordernisse des Marktes allmählich dazu geführt, dass bestimmte Waren als gemeinsame Tauschmittel ausgewählt wurden. Die Gruppe der Waren, aus der diese ausgewählt wurden, war ursprünglich sehr groß und unterschied sich von Land zu Land; sie wurde aber immer mehr eingeschränkt. Wann immer ein direkter Tausch nicht in Frage kam, war jede der an einem Geschäft beteiligten Parteien bestrebt, ihre überflüssigen Waren nicht nur gegen marktgängigere Waren im Allgemeinen, sondern gegen die marktgängigsten Waren einzutauschen, und von diesen wiederum bevorzugte sie natürlich die marktgängigste Ware. Je größer die Marktfähigkeit der zuerst im indirekten Tausch erworbenen Waren ist, desto größer ist die Aussicht, das endgültige Ziel ohne weitere Manöver erreichen zu können. So gäbe es die unvermeidliche Tendenz, dass die weniger marktfähigen Güter aus der Reihe der als Tauschmittel verwendeten Waren nach und nach verworfen würden, bis schließlich nur noch ein einziges Gut übrig bliebe, das allgemein als Tauschmittel verwendet würde: das Geld.“
Mises zufolge wählen die Akteure zunehmend das marktgängigste Gut als Tauschmittel aus und der natürliche Verlauf des Marktes geht in Richtung Vereinheitlichung zu einem einzigen Geldgut. Das ist schlicht und einfach monetärer Maximalismus.
Mises unterscheidet sich von den Bitcoinern lediglich durch die Stärke der Behauptungen, die er über die tatsächlichen empirischen Entscheidungen der Wirtschaftsakteure zu treffen bereit ist. Mises weist darauf hin, dass sowohl Gold als auch Silber an vielen Orten zu Geld gemacht wurden, wahrscheinlich wegen ihrer ähnlichen Eigenschaften, und dass es den Rahmen der Geldtheorie sprengt, zu sagen, ob Gold oder Silber letztlich besser verkäuflich ist. Trotzdem sagt er:
„Denn es ist ziemlich sicher, dass die Vereinheitlichung auch dann ein wünschenswertes geldpolitisches Ziel gewesen wäre, wenn die ungleiche Marktfähigkeit der als Tauschmittel verwendeten Güter kein Motiv geboten hätte. Die gleichzeitige Verwendung mehrerer Geldarten bringt so viele Nachteile mit sich und verkompliziert die Technik des Tauschens so sehr, dass das Bestreben, das Geldsystem zu vereinheitlichen, in jedem Fall unternommen worden wäre.“
Die natürliche Tendenz zu einem einzigen Geldgut ist so stark, dass seiner Meinung nach die Vereinheitlichung der Geldsysteme auch dann angestrebt würde, wenn zwei Güter genau gleich marktfähig wären. Zuvor stellt er außerdem fest:
„Das endgültige Urteil könnte erst gefällt werden, wenn alle Hauptteile der bewohnten Erde ein einziges Handelsgebiet bilden, denn erst dann wäre es unmöglich, dass andere Nationen mit unterschiedlichen Geldsystemen sich anschließen und die internationale Organisation verändern.“
Jede neue Handelsbeziehung eröffnet die Möglichkeit, ein brandneues Geldgut einzuführen, das bisher nicht verwendet wurde. Wenn seine Qualitäten ein höheres Maß an Marktfähigkeit aufrechterhalten könnten, ist es möglich, dass sich die gesamte internationale Währungsordnung aufgrund seiner natürlichen Überlegenheit bei der Bewältigung der Funktionen des Geldes um ihn herum neu organisieren könnte.
Im Bitcoin Standard liefert Saifedean Ammous zahlreiche Argumente dafür, warum Gold dem Silber als Geldwert überlegen war, obwohl Mises nicht bereit oder nicht daran interessiert war, diesen Punkt zu diskutieren, und warum Bitcoin ein noch besserer Geldwert ist. Mises hat die Einführung von Bitcoin in die Weltwirtschaft zwar nicht mehr erlebt, aber seine Wirtschaftstheorie erklärt genau, warum Bitcoin an Wert gewinnen würde und warum es plausibel ist, dass die gesamte internationale Währungsordnung auf einen Bitcoin-Standard umgestellt wird. Er gibt auch den theoretischen Rahmen, um zu verstehen, warum Altcoins Bitcoin nicht allein durch ihre Eigenschaften ausstechen können. Sie müssen eine bessere Marktfähigkeit in Bezug auf Raum, Zeit und Größe bieten, um einen ausreichenden Vorteil gegenüber Bitcoin zu haben. Wie bereits an anderer Stelle beschrieben, ist dies einfach nicht gelungen, und nur Bitcoin bietet ein stark dezentralisiertes, überprüfbares und glaubwürdig knappes digitales Geldgut.
Mises, der Marktmaximalist
Die Geldtheorie ist nicht der einzige Ort, an dem der Leser eine Art „Maximalismus" in Mises' Denken spüren kann. Sein gesamtes Werk läuft auf einen unverhohlenen Marktmaximalismus hinaus, der sich weigert, durch rigorose ökonomische Theorie und Analyse sozialistischen oder interventionistischen Argumenten nachzugeben.
Ein großartiges Beispiel für seine Verteidigung des freien Marktes findet sich in einem Vortrag aus dem Jahr 1950 mit dem Titel „Die Mitte des Weges führt zum Sozialismus". In dieser Vorlesung greift Mises Interventionisten an, die behaupten, eine Politik der „Mitte" zwischen den beiden Extremen Kapitalismus und Sozialismus zu favorisieren. Durch strategische Interventionen kann der Staat die Auswüchse beider Systeme verhindern.
Mises betrachtet Kapitalismus und Sozialismus jedoch als diametral entgegengesetzte und unvereinbare Organisationssysteme und nicht als ein Spektrum der Wohlstandsverteilung:
„Der Konflikt der beiden Prinzipien ist unüberbrückbar und lässt keinen Kompromiss zu. Kontrolle ist unteilbar. Entweder entscheidet die Nachfrage der Verbraucher, die sich auf dem Markt manifestiert, für welche Zwecke und wie die Produktionsfaktoren eingesetzt werden sollen, oder der Staat kümmert sich um diese Angelegenheiten. Es gibt nichts, was den Gegensatz zwischen diesen beiden widersprüchlichen Prinzipien abmildern könnte. Sie schließen sich gegenseitig aus. Der Interventionismus ist kein goldener Mittelweg zwischen Kapitalismus und Sozialismus. Er ist der Entwurf für ein drittes System der wirtschaftlichen Organisation der Gesellschaft und muss als solches gewürdigt werden.“
Dieses dritte System ist jedoch im Grunde nur ein längerer Marsch zum Sozialismus, indem es ein falsches Lippenbekenntnis zu Privateigentum und freier Marktwirtschaft ablegt. Auf jeden Eingriff, der stattfindet, müssen weitere folgen. Die Festsetzung eines Preises hier erfordert die Festsetzung eines anderen Preises dort, und so geht es die ganze Lieferkette entlang. Am Ende hat der Interventionismus die gesamte „Marktwirtschaft" im Würgegriff.
Der Interventionismus kann nicht als ein Wirtschaftssystem betrachtet werden, das dazu bestimmt ist, zu bleiben. Er ist eine Methode zur Umwandlung des Kapitalismus in den Sozialismus in mehreren aufeinanderfolgenden Schritten. Damit unterscheidet er sich von den Bemühungen der Kommunisten, den Sozialismus auf einen Schlag zu verwirklichen. Der Unterschied bezieht sich nicht auf das letztendliche Ziel der politischen Bewegung, sondern vor allem auf die Taktik, die zur Erreichung des von beiden Gruppen angestrebten Ziels angewandt wird.
Trotzdem sind selbst die meisten vermeintlichen Befürworter einer freien Marktwirtschaft in Wirklichkeit von interventionistischen Ideologien und Denkweisen durchdrungen, und ihre Strategien sind immer zum Scheitern und zu Kompromissen verurteilt.
„Dies hat zur Folge, dass praktisch kaum etwas getan wird, um das System der Privatwirtschaft zu erhalten. Es gibt nur Mittelsmänner, die glauben, erfolgreich gewesen zu sein, wenn sie eine besonders ruinöse Maßnahme eine Zeit lang hinausgezögert haben. Sie sind immer auf dem Rückzug. Sie nehmen heute Maßnahmen in Kauf, die sie noch vor zehn oder zwanzig Jahren für undiskutabel gehalten hätten. In ein paar Jahren werden sie sich mit anderen Maßnahmen abfinden, die sie heute noch für undiskutabel halten. Was den totalitären Sozialismus verhindern kann, ist nur ein grundlegender Wandel der Ideologien.\ \ Was wir brauchen, ist weder Antisozialismus noch Antikommunismus, sondern eine offene Befürwortung des Systems, dem wir all den Wohlstand verdanken, der unser Zeitalter von den vergleichsweise beengten Verhältnissen vergangener Zeiten unterscheidet.“
Mises nimmt kein Blatt vor den Mund, wenn er eine interventionistische Politik fordert, und es gibt viele Lehren, die Bitcoiner daraus ziehen können.
Erstens ist das Bitcoin-Netzwerk nicht einfach nur eine andere Art des Werttransfers als eine bestehende zentralisierte Lösung, eine Art PayPal 2.0. Es ist ein strukturell anderer Ansatz für das gesamte Problem der doppelten Ausgaben. „Blockchain, nicht Bitcoin" ist eine Mogelpackung, weil sie den Kern dessen, was Bitcoin einzigartig macht (Dezentralisierung, unabhängige Überprüfbarkeit usw.), wegnimmt, während sie behauptet, „die zugrundeliegende Technologie" zu nutzen, ähnlich wie ein nationalsozialistisches oder faschistisches Regime die staatliche Kontrolle über die Produktion übernehmen könnte, während es behauptet, für Privateigentum zu sein. Wenn du die Vorteile des Marktes nutzen willst, musst du tatsächlich einen Markt haben, und wenn du die Vorteile von Bitcoin nutzen willst, musst du Bitcoin tatsächlich nutzen.
Außerdem sollte die Dezentralisierung als binäres System betrachtet werden. Entweder ist ein System dezentralisiert, oder es ist dazu verdammt, zentralisiert zu werden, manchmal mit einem Hard Fork nach dem anderen (vgl. Ethereum). Bitcoin-Maximalisten werden regelmäßig als toxisch bezeichnet, weil sie entschlossen an bestimmten Netzwerkparametern festhalten, selbst wenn diese willkürlich oder trivial erscheinen. Ein ganzer Krieg über die Blockgröße wurde um eine Begrenzung von 1 MB geführt. Die Zahl schien willkürlich und die Lösung trivial zu sein, aber die Bitcoiner weigerten sich, davon abzuweichen. Und warum? Eine höhere Blockgröße würde die Kosten für den Betrieb eines vollständigen Knotens (Full Node) erhöhen, der für eine unabhängige Validierung und Dezentralisierung notwendig ist. Ein Hard Fork würde einen vernichtenden Präzedenzfall schaffen und alle zukünftigen Ansprüche auf Abwärtskompatibilität gefährden, die für die Glaubwürdigkeit der Geldpolitik und die Fähigkeit der Nodes, sich vertrauensvoll mit dem Netzwerk zu synchronisieren, erforderlich sind. Die Blockkapazität stieg zwar an, aber nur, weil SegWit, dessen Vorteile weit über die bloße Verbesserung der Skalierung hinausgingen, über einen Soft Fork aktiviert werden konnte, sodass denjenigen, die dies nicht wollten, keine neuen Kosten auferlegt wurden.
Andere Projekte hingegen akzeptieren nicht, dass die Kompromisse bei Bitcoin nicht wirklich willkürlich sind. Sie bieten Turing-complete Smart Contracts, schnellere Blockzeiten, größere Blöcke oder alle möglichen anderen „Features" an. Die Features werden nicht mit demselben extrem konservativen Engagement für Sicherheit produziert wie Bitcoin und bedrohen oft die Fähigkeit, überhaupt einen vollständigen Knoten (Full-Node) zu betreiben. Nur bei Bitcoin kümmern sich die Leute darum, dass die Geldmenge tatsächlich überprüft werden kann. Mit der Zeit verlieren die Projekte, wenn sie überhaupt aufrechterhalten werden, jeden Anschein einer glaubwürdigen Dezentralisierung. Ethereum, das einst mit unaufhaltsamen Anwendungen und der Aussage „Code ist Gesetz" warb, erlebte den DAO-Hack und ist nach der Einführung von Proof-of-Stake (das von Natur aus zentralisierend ist) der OFAC-Zensur in unterschiedlichem Maße unterworfen.
Bitcoin akzeptiert nichts von alledem. Er beugt seine Regeln für niemanden. Bitcoiner wissen auch, dass das System gar kein Bitcoin mehr wäre, wenn die Regeln gebogen würden. Mises hilft uns zu verstehen, dass eine Politik des Mittelweges zu Shitcoinerei führt. Eine Währung ist entweder Bitcoin oder dazu verdammt, ein Shitcoin zu sein.
Mises, der toxische Maximalist
Im Jahr 1947 fand in der Schweiz das erste Treffen der Mont Pèlerin Society statt. Bei diesem Treffen trafen sich viele der einflussreichsten Verfechter der freien Märkte und des klassischen Liberalismus, von Ludwig von Mises über F. A. Hayek bis hin zu Milton Friedman und vielen anderen, um darüber zu diskutieren, wie man die steigende Flut des Totalitarismus und seiner Wirtschaftsideologien durch die Förderung freier Märkte und des Privateigentums bekämpfen kann. Man könnte meinen, dass Mises genau in diese Diskussionen passt. Doch wie Milton Friedman berichtete, kam es anders:
„Die Geschichte, an die ich mich am besten erinnere, ereignete sich auf dem ersten Treffen in Mont Pèlerin, als [Mises] aufstand und sagte: „Ihr seid alle ein Haufen Sozialisten." Wir diskutierten über die Einkommensverteilung und darüber, ob man progressive Einkommenssteuern haben sollte. Einige der Anwesenden vertraten die Ansicht, dass es eine Rechtfertigung dafür geben könnte.\ \ Eine andere Gelegenheit, die ebenso aufschlussreich ist: Fritz Machlup war ein Schüler von Mises, einer seiner treuesten Jünger. Bei einem der Treffen in Mont Pèlerin hielt Machlup einen Vortrag, in dem er, glaube ich, die Idee eines Goldstandards in Frage stellte; er sprach sich für freie Wechselkurse aus. Mises war so wütend, dass er drei Jahre lang nicht mit Machlup sprechen wollte. Einige Leute mussten die beiden wieder zusammenbringen. Es ist schwer zu verstehen; man kann es einigermaßen nachvollziehen, wenn man sich vor Augen führt, wie Menschen wie Mises in seinem Leben verfolgt wurden.“
Wie bereits erwähnt, hielt Mises drei Jahre später einen Vortrag, in dem er eindrucksvoll erklärte, warum sie tatsächlich alle ein Haufen Sozialisten waren. Wer staatliche Eingriffe in die Einkommensverteilung akzeptiert, ist dem Sozialismus bereits verfallen, sobald genug Zeit vergangen ist. Mises war einfach nicht bereit, den sozialistischen Irrtümern, die er im Laufe seiner intellektuellen Karriere so akribisch aufgespießt hatte, Glauben zu schenken. Jörg Guido Hülsmann stellt in Mises: The Last Knight of Liberalism fest, dass „Mises zwar in der Lage war, Sozialisten hoch zu schätzen, aber der Vorfall zeigte, dass er wenig Geduld mit Sozialisten hatte, die sich als Liberale ausgaben."
Doch Mises' giftiges Verhalten blieb nicht ohne Folgen. Laut Hülsmann:
„Der Schlagabtausch zwischen Mises und seinen neoliberalen Gegnern prägte den Ton in der Mont Pèlerin Society für die kommenden Jahre.... Obwohl die Libertären um Mises eine kleine Minderheit waren, hatten sie die finanzielle Unterstützung der amerikanischen Hauptsponsoren wie dem Volker Fund, ohne die die Gesellschaft in jenen frühen Jahren schnell ausgestorben wäre. Solange Mises aktiv an den Treffen teilnahm, war es daher unmöglich, die technischen Details eines genehmigten staatlichen Interventionismus zu diskutieren. Das Laissez-faire hatte ein Comeback gefeiert. Es war zwar nicht die Mehrheitsmeinung, aber es war eine diskutierbare und diskutierte politische Option - zu viel für einige anfängliche Mitglieder wie Maurice Allais, der die Gesellschaft genau aus diesem Grund bald wieder verließ.“
Indem er toxisch war, konnte Mises dazu beitragen, den Ton für eine wirklich laissez-faire Mont Pèlerin Society zu setzen, die ihrem erklärten Ziel gerecht werden konnte, und sie wählten F. A. Hayek zu ihrem Präsidenten. Er hatte keine Angst, Klartext zu reden, aber lautstark, sogar gegenüber Leuten, die vermutlich zu seinem „eigenen Team" gehörten. Ludwig von Mises war ein Mann, der seine Ideen ernst nahm und die Wahrheit noch viel ernster.
In seinen Memoiren schreibt Mises über seine Zeit in der österreichischen Handelskammer in den 1910er und 1920er Jahren:
„Ich wurde manchmal beschuldigt, meinen Standpunkt zu schroff und unnachgiebig zu vertreten. Es wurde auch behauptet, dass ich mehr hätte erreichen können, wenn ich eine größere Kompromissbereitschaft gezeigt hätte.... Die Kritik war ungerechtfertigt; ich konnte nur dann effektiv sein, wenn ich die Dinge so darstellen konnte, wie sie mir erschienen. Wenn ich heute auf meine Arbeit bei der Handelskammer zurückblicke, bedauere ich nur meine Kompromissbereitschaft und nicht meine Unnachgiebigkeit.“
In dieser Zeit trug sein Rat dazu bei, die Hyperinflation in Österreich aufzuhalten und ihre Auswirkungen im Vergleich zur Weimarer Republik abzuschwächen.
Bitcoiner werden von endlosen „Krypto-" und „Shitcoin"-Betrügern geplagt, die auf dem Rücken der innovativen Technologie und des wirtschaftlichen Erfolgs von Bitcoin reiten wollen. Den Bitcoinern wird gesagt, dass sie alle im selben Team sind. In den Augen der Öffentlichkeit sind sie das auch. Das Ergebnis ist eine getäuschte Öffentlichkeit, der zentralisierte Pump-and-Dump-Systeme und Rugpulls, Affen-Jpegs und Rube-Goldberg-Maschinen verkauft werden, die auf Schlagwörtern basieren und die Vorstellung vermitteln, dass sie in der gleichen Liga spielen wie die großartigste Geldtechnologie, die je geschaffen wurde. „Krypto" profitiert vom Erfolg von Bitcoin, und die Bekanntheit von Bitcoin sinkt mit den Misserfolgen von „Krypto". Doch wenn Bitcoiner die Unterschiede ansprechen und diese Projekte ablehnen, die sie uninteressant oder sogar verabscheuungswürdig finden, wird das als schädlich angesehen. Den Bitcoinern schadet das nicht, denn sie können weiter (Satoshis) stapeln und bauen, aber die Menschen, die unter Fiat-Regimen leben müssen, leiden darunter, dass ihnen kein Weg zu Freiheit und Wohlstand gezeigt wird.
Abgesehen davon, dass das Geld des Einzelnen in Gefahr ist, kann die Offenheit für Shitcoins auch Veränderungen im Netzwerk fördern, die die Dezentralisierung beeinträchtigen. Wenn es Unterstützung für einen Shitcoin gibt, der auf einem bestimmten Merkmal basiert, warum sollte das Merkmal dann nicht in Bitcoin existieren? Wenn es tatsächlich eine Tendenz zu einer einzigen Währung gibt, ist die Förderung einer alternativen Kryptowährung selbst ein Angriff auf das Potenzial von Bitcoin. Wirtschaft und Technik sind mit gnadenlosen Konsequenzen konfrontiert. Eine falsche Abfolge von Schritten kann zu absoluter Verwüstung führen. Bitcoiner nehmen das sehr ernst und machen keinen Hehl daraus, dass sie diese Konsequenzen fürchten. Wenn sie das tun, lehnen sie ganze unternehmerische Vorhaben ab und stellen ihre gesamte Einnahmequelle in Frage. Das ist toxisch.
Bitcoiners sollten immer den Mut haben, Mises zu zitieren und jedem zu sagen: „Ihr seid alle ein Haufen Shitcoiner."
Der aufgehende Stern von Mises
Obwohl er aus einer adligen Familie stammte und in Österreich hohe Positionen innehatte, hatte Mises, als er auf der Flucht vor den Nazis in die Vereinigten Staaten emigrierte, nur wenige Möglichkeiten. Bis zu seiner Pensionierung war er „Gastprofessor" an der New York University. Er arbeitete im Grunde genommen im stillen Kämmerlein und unterrichtete hauptsächlich in seinen inzwischen berühmten informellen Seminaren, an denen auch Murray Rothbard und andere teilnahmen. Er benötigte die Unterstützung verschiedener philanthropischer Fonds. Hinzu kam, dass die Wirtschaftswissenschaften, wie alle Sozialwissenschaften, dem Szientismus und der Technokratie erlegen waren, so dass Mises' strenge logisch-deduktive Methoden im Vergleich zu mathematischen Formeln und statistischen Modellen als altmodisch galten. Der Goldstandard wurde zugunsten eines Fiat-Systems abgeschafft, und als Mises starb, hatte der US-Dollar keinerlei Verbindung mehr zu Edelmetallen oder realen Ersparnissen, so dass die Geldpolitik allein den Launen der Politik überlassen blieb.
Es gab allen Grund, Ludwig von Mises völlig in Vergessenheit geraten zu lassen. Doch seine Schüler, wie Murray Rothbard, hielten die österreichische Schule am Leben. Im Jahr 1982 wurde das Ludwig von Mises Institute von Rothbard und Lew Rockwell gegründet und von Dr. Ron Paul finanziert (beide wurden von ihren Kritikern als „toxisch" bezeichnet). Dr. Paul selbst wurde zu einem legendären Verfechter der Ideen von Mises und anderen, sowohl im Kongress als auch im Präsidentschaftswahlkampf. In letzterem machte Dr. Paul die von der Federal Reserve verursachte wirtschaftliche Zerstörung zu einem zentralen Bestandteil seines Programms und zum ersten Mal seit Jahrzehnten zu einem wichtigen Thema in der politischen Debatte, was den Diskurs danach für immer veränderte.
Es ist also kein Wunder, dass viele Menschen, die sich als erste für Bitcoin begeisterten, treue Schüler von Mises waren und dass seine Ideen mit dem Wachstum von Bitcoin noch mehr an Bedeutung gewonnen haben. Seine rigorose Erläuterung der Wahrheiten des Wirtschaftsrechts, die auf Subjektivismus, Marginalismus und methodologischem Individualismus beruht, gab den Menschen den Rahmen, um zu verstehen, wie Bitcoin die Geldpolitik veranschaulicht, die zu Frieden, Wohlstand und Freiheit führt. Anstatt irrelevant zu werden, ist Mises heute wichtiger denn je. Wie Ron Paul bemerkte: „Wir sind jetzt alle Österreicher."
Fazit
Das Toxische liegt im Auge des Betrachters oder des Bagholders. Die Wirtschaftswissenschaft ist, wie jedes Streben nach Wahrheit, kein Beliebtheitswettbewerb, und die Wahrheit wird immer von denen bekämpft werden, deren Geschäft und Status von der Verbreitung von Irrtümern und Unwahrheiten abhängt.\ \ Ludwig von Mises stand fest zu seinen gründlichen Analysen der Wirtschaftswissenschaften und des klassischen Liberalismus und scheute sich nicht, das zu verteidigen, was er für wahr hielt, selbst auf Kosten von Prestige und Popularität. Heute steht er weit über fast jedem anderen Sozialwissenschaftler des 20. Jahrhunderts.
Ich habe an anderer Stelle über Memes und Rhetorik gesprochen, und es gibt viel zu diskutieren über bestimmte Strategien und ihre Wirksamkeit. Aber vor allem muss jede Strategie die Wahrheit in den Mittelpunkt stellen. Die Wahrheit ist zeitlos, so dass ihre Relevanz nicht auf kurzfristige Popularität beschränkt ist. Wenn dies der Fall ist, ist der Vorwurf der „Toxizität" entweder eine Aufforderung zur Verbesserung oder ein Ehrenzeichen dafür, dass man trotz aller Widrigkeiten für die Wahrheit einsteht. Wie das Motto von Ludwig von Mises schon sagte: tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. Weiche dem Bösen nicht, trete ihm umso mutiger entgegen.

2025-05-02 22:24:59Its been six long months of refactoring code and building out to the applesauce packages but the app is stable enough for another release.
This update is pretty much a full rewrite of the non-visible parts of the app. all the background services were either moved out to the applesauce packages or rewritten, the result is that noStrudel is a little faster and much more consistent with connections and publishing.
New layout
The app has a new layout now, it takes advantage of the full desktop screen and looks a little better than it did before.
Removed NIP-72 communities
The NIP-72 communities are no longer part of the app, if you want to continue using them there are still a few apps that support them ( like satellite.earth ) but noStrudel won't support them going forward.
The communities where interesting but ultimately proved too have some fundamental flaws, most notably that all posts had to be approved by a moderator. There were some good ideas on how to improve it but they would have only been patches and wouldn't have fixed the underlying issues.
I wont promise to build it into noStrudel, but NIP-29 (relay based groups) look a lot more promising and already have better moderation abilities then NIP-72 communities could ever have.
Settings view
There is now a dedicated settings view, so no more hunting around for where the relays are set or trying to find how to add another account. its all in one place now
Cleaned up lists
The list views are a little cleaner now, and they have a simple edit modal
New emoji picker
Just another small improvement that makes the app feel more complete.
Experimental Wallet
There is a new "wallet" view in the app that lets you manage your NIP-60 cashu wallet. its very experimental and probably won't work for you, but its there and I hope to finish it up so the app can support NIP-61 nutzaps.
WARNING: Don't feed the wallet your hard earned sats, it will eat them!
Smaller improvements
- Added NSFW flag for replies
- Updated NIP-48 bunker login to work with new spec
- Linkfy BIPs
- Added 404 page
- Add NIP-22 comments under badges, files, and articles
- Add max height to timeline notes
- Fix articles view freezing on load
- Add option to mirror blobs when sharing notes
- Remove "open in drawer" for notes

2025-02-23 17:38:11Erschienen in Citadel 21 Vol. 21 | Veröffentlichung 21.03.2023 \ Autor: Knut Svanholm\ Übersetzt von: Sinautoshi am 24.03.2023 - 782344\ \ Rückblickend sieht das Jahr 2022 wie eine Art Höhepunkt aus. Während der Großteil der Gesellschaft weitgehend vergessen hat, was die politische Klasse ihren Untertanen während der sogenannten Pandemie angetan hat, kotzte Hollywood weiterhin Inhalte aus, die von „diversen" Regisseuren und Drehbuchautoren produziert wurden und bis zum Rand mit nicht ganz so subtilen Botschaften und Verachtung für ihr Publikum gefüllt waren.
Star Wars und Marvel haben nach der Übernahme durch Disney auf diese Weise Franchise-Mord begangen, und auch das Erbe von Der Herr der Ringe wurde von der linken Idiotie vergewaltigt und für immer befleckt. Jetzt gibt es von jedem männlichen Avenger eine weibliche Version. Hugh Jackman, der Schauspieler, der früher die Hauptrolle des X-Men-Mutanten Wolverine spielte, empfahl seinen Anhängern in den sozialen Medien kürzlich Bill Gates' Buch über den Klimawandel.
Als Frauen verkleidete Männer gewinnen Sportmeisterschaften für Frauen, und alle haben so viel Angst davor, als bigott bezeichnet zu werden, dass sich niemand traut, auf die Absurdität hinzuweisen, dass ein Mann alle Mädchen schlägt. Diese so genannten Sportler werden als „mutig" bezeichnet, obwohl sie alles andere als das sind.
Die Tatsache, dass es in einigen Berufen mehr Männer als Frauen gibt, wird als Problem angesehen, aber warum genau das ein Problem ist, wird selten erwähnt. Die Verdienste und die tatsächliche Meinungsvielfalt werden auf dem Altar der „Vielfalt und Integration" geschlachtet.
Die Gesellschaft ist an einem Punkt angelangt, an dem die Verbraucher Ärzten und Anwälten gerade wegen ihrer Hautfarbe misstrauen, da sie vermuten, dass sie deshalb in ihre Positionen gekommen sind und nicht wegen ihrer Kompetenz oder ihrer Verdienste. Noch vor zwanzig Jahren war die normale Bauchreaktion das Gegenteil: „Wow, ein Arzt aus einer Minderheit! Sie müssen hart gearbeitet haben, um dorthin zu gelangen, wo sie heute sind!"
Als ich aufgewachsen bin, wurde ein „Rassist" als jemand definiert, der sich einen Dreck um die Hautfarbe oder die ethnische Zugehörigkeit einer anderen Person scherte. Dasselbe galt für das Wort „Sexist" - man war ein Sexist, wenn man das Geschlecht einer Person bei der Beurteilung berücksichtigte.
Ich hatte das Gefühl, dass die Welt seit den Gräueltaten des Zweiten Weltkriegs im Kampf gegen diese Vorurteile einen weiten Weg zurückgelegt hatte und dass jeder eine anständige Karriere in jedem Beruf machen konnte, wenn er sich nur anstrengte und sich Mühe gab. Doch irgendwann in den frühen 2000er Jahren änderte sich etwas.
Plötzlich begannen die Worte das Gegenteil von dem zu bedeuten, was sie ursprünglich bedeuteten. Plötzlich war jeder, der sich einen Dreck um seine Hautfarbe scherte, ein Rassist. Jeder, dem es egal war, ob der CEO eines großen Unternehmens ein Mann oder eine Frau war, war ein Sexist.
Im Jahr 2023 behaupten manche sogar, man sei ein „Transphobe", wenn man nicht gelegentlich Fellatio an einem „weiblichen Penis" betreiben will. Die Tugendwächter laufen in der Tat Amok, und die Medienunternehmen lieben es. Sie lieben es, weil sie alles lieben, was die Kluft zwischen den Menschen schürt. Je verrückter die Aktionen der Clownwelt® sind, desto wütender sind die Reaktionen der leichtgläubigen, verärgerten Menschen auf der „vernünftigen" Seite des politischen Spektrums.
Die Menschheit neigt dazu, sich wie ein Pendel oder eine Abrissbirne zu verhalten, wenn es um politische Meinungen oder „die aktuelle Sache" geht.
Wenn es zu viele blauhaarige, übergewichtige, lesbische, glutenintolerante, vegane Umweltschützer gibt, taucht von irgendwoher eine Welle von Skinheads auf, die mit Steroiden vollgepumpt sind und gegen Samenöl und Fleischfresser sind.
Für jede Hillary Clinton gibt es einen Donald Trump. Für jede Greta Thunberg gibt es einen Andrew Tate. Für jeden CNN-Reporter gibt es einen Alex Jones.
Auch im Bitcoin-Bereich gibt es immer ein „aktuelles Thema", an das man sich klammern kann, wenn auch oft eine männlichere Idee als das „aktuelle Thema" des Mainstreams. Was nur wenige wissen, ist, wie faul diese Art des Denkens ist.
Wissenschaft ist nicht automatisch schlecht, nur weil „die Wissenschaft" schlecht ist.
Nur weil man gelernt hat, dass alles, was die Regierung sagt, eine Lüge ist, ist nicht automatisch auch das Gegenteil wahr. Die Welt ist nuanciert; die meisten Dinge sind nicht schwarz oder weiß.
Was wahr und sehr schwarz-weiß ist, ist das Geld - es gibt Bitcoin und es gibt Shitcoins. Nur wenn wir letztere für erstere aufgeben, können wir die Politik aus dem menschlichen Handeln entfernen und uns auf eine gewisse Wahrheit in der Basisschicht der Zivilisation zurück arbeiten. Bitcoin belohnt weder Rent-Seeking noch faules Denken.
Die positiven Aspekte vieler moderner Technologien werden oft übersehen. Auch wenn sich die Clownwelt® und die lächerlichen Ideen, die ihr folgen, wie ein Lauffeuer verbreiten, gibt es Gründe für einen ungetrübten Optimismus für die Zukunft.
Wir hören oft von den Gefahren der sozialen Medien und wie sie die Gehirne unserer Kinder schädigen, aber wir werden selten an die Kehrseite der Medaille erinnert. Soziale Medien verbinden Menschen in einem Ausmaß, das der Menschheit nie zuvor zugänglich war. Jeder Mensch auf der Welt kann heute mit jedem anderen in Kontakt treten und mit einem Mausklick einen Videoanruf starten. Das ist ein enorm wichtiges Instrument für den Frieden. In Kombination mit Bitcoin haben die Bösewichte keine Chance mehr.
Wenn jeder auf diese Weise vernetzt ist, wird überdeutlich, wie absurd es ist, dass wir in Staaten mit unterschiedlichen Gesetzen und Vorschriften leben. Warum gelten für meine Mitmenschen auf der anderen Seite dieses Teiches, dieses Flusses, dieses Gebirges oder sogar dieser imaginären Linie in der Erde andere Regeln?
Jeden Tag wachen mehr und mehr Menschen auf und erkennen, dass es nur ein einziges Menschenrecht gibt - das Recht, in Ruhe gelassen zu werden.
Immer mehr Menschen erkennen, dass die Geldentwertung kein natürliches Phänomen ist, sondern eine bewusste Politik. Es ist nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis die alte Welt verschwindet. Solange wir kommunizieren dürfen, gibt es Hoffnung. Das Internet hat bewiesen, dass sich jede Kommunikation auf eine Reihe von Einsen und Nullen reduzieren lässt, und Bitcoin hat bewiesen, dass Geld nichts anderes als Information ist.

„Privatsphäre ist für eine offene Gesellschaft im elektronischen Zeitalter notwendig. Privatsphäre ist keine Geheimhaltung. Eine private Angelegenheit ist etwas, von dem man nicht möchte, dass es die ganze Welt erfährt, aber eine geheime Angelegenheit ist etwas, von dem man nicht möchte, dass es irgendjemand erfährt." Privatsphäre ist die Macht, sich der Welt selektiv zu offenbaren.“ - Eric Hughes, A Cypherpunk's Manifesto , 1993
Privatsphäre ist für die Freiheit unerlässlich. Ohne Privatsphäre ist der Einzelne nicht in der Lage, frei von Überwachung und Kontrolle Entscheidungen zu treffen. Mangelnde Privatsphäre führt zum Verlust der Selbstbestimmung. Wenn Einzelpersonen ständig überwacht werden, schränkt dies unsere Fähigkeit ein, uns auszudrücken und Risiken einzugehen. Alle Entscheidungen, die wir treffen, können negative Auswirkungen auf diejenigen haben, die uns überwachen. Ohne die Freiheit, Entscheidungen zu treffen, kann der Einzelne nicht wirklich frei sein.
Freiheit ist für den Erwerb und Erhalt von Wohlstand von entscheidender Bedeutung. Wenn der Einzelne nicht die Freiheit hat, Entscheidungen zu treffen, hindern uns Einschränkungen und Beschränkungen daran, wirtschaftliche Chancen zu nutzen. Wenn es uns in einem solchen Umfeld irgendwie gelingt, Wohlstand zu erlangen, kann mangelnde Freiheit zur direkten Beschlagnahme von Vermögenswerten durch Regierungen oder andere böswillige Organisationen führen. Wenn die Freiheit gefährdet wird, führt dies im großen Maßstab zu weitverbreiteter wirtschaftlicher Stagnation und Armut. Der Schutz der Freiheit ist für den wirtschaftlichen Wohlstand von wesentlicher Bedeutung.
Der Zusammenhang zwischen Privatsphäre, Freiheit und Wohlstand ist entscheidend. Ohne Privatsphäre verliert der Einzelne die Freiheit, frei von Überwachung und Kontrolle Entscheidungen zu treffen. Während der Mangel an Freiheit den Einzelnen daran hindert, wirtschaftliche Chancen wahrzunehmen, und den Vermögenserhalt nahezu unmöglich macht. Keine Privatsphäre? Keine Freiheit. Keine Freiheit? Kein Wohlstand.
Rechte werden nicht gewährt. Sie werden eingenommen und verteidigt. Rechte werden oft als Erlaubnis der Machthaber missverstanden, etwas zu tun. Wenn dir jedoch jemand etwas geben kann, kann er es dir grundsätzlich nach Belieben wegnehmen. Im Laufe der Geschichte haben Menschen zwangsläufig für Grundrechte gekämpft, darunter Privatsphäre und Freiheit. Diese Rechte wurden nicht von den Machthabern gegeben, sondern durch Kampf eingefordert und erkämpft. Selbst nachdem diese Rechte erlangt wurden, müssen sie kontinuierlich verteidigt werden, um sicherzustellen, dass sie nicht weggenommen werden. Rechte werden nicht gewährt – sie werden durch Kampf erworben und durch Opfer verteidigt.

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

2025-05-02 13:51:37Tutorial OpenKeychain
- Baixar no F-droid https://f-droid.org/app/org.sufficientlysecure.keychain
Ao abrir o OpenKeychain pela primeira vez, você verá uma tela inicial indicando que ainda não há chaves configuradas. Nesse ponto, você terá três opções:
-
Criar uma nova chave PGP diretamente no OpenKeychain: Ideal para quem está começando e precisa de uma solução simples para criptografia em comunicações diárias.
-
Usar um token de segurança (como Fidesmo, Yubikey, NEO, ou Sigilance) Se você busca uma segurança ainda maior, pode optar por armazenar sua chave privada em um token de segurança. Com essa configuração, a chave privada nunca é salva no dispositivo móvel. O celular atua apenas como uma interface de comunicação, enquanto a chave permanece protegida no token, fora do alcance de possíveis invasores remotos. Isso garante que somente quem possui o token fisicamente possa usar a chave, elevando significativamente o nível de segurança e controle sobre seus dados.
-
Importar uma chave PGP existente: Você pode importar uma chave PGP que já tenha sido gerada anteriormente, seja por meio de um arquivo no dispositivo ou por outro meio ler na área de transferência. https://image.nostr.build/51fdd924df4843ab73faa02a505c8fb17794f1789396ed89b154348ebb337f07.jpg

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

2025-05-02 03:50:51Introduction: Don't Despair—This Can Be Fixed (But Don't Reboot Yet)
Running ZFS on a Raspberry Pi offers powerful features for home servers and personal NAS setups. But with power comes complexity, and in recent months, a quiet pitfall has emerged for Pi users who track kernel updates closely: upgrading to an unsupported kernel version breaks ZFS.
⚠️ Important Warning: If you've just upgraded your kernel and you're using ZFS, do not reboot yet. Rebooting without a working ZFS module can leave your system unbootable—even if you don't have critical partitions on ZFS. The system may hang because it tries to load the missing ZFS kernel module during boot and fails, halting the boot process.
If you're already facing a broken setup or can't boot — don't panic. This guide outlines both the worst-case scenario and the ideal recovery strategy. Whether you're locked out or preparing for a smooth upgrade, we've got you covered.
The Problem: A Kernel Update Too Far
As of ZFS version 2.2.3 (used in Debian-based Raspberry Pi OS), the filesystem supports Linux kernels up to 6.7. However, Raspberry Pi OS backports recently began shipping 6.12.x kernels. If you upgrade to 6.12 without precautions:
- ZFS will fail to compile against the new kernel
- DKMS errors will appear during package updates
- Your ZFS module will be missing after reboot
- Your Raspberry Pi may fail to boot, even without ZFS-mounted root or critical paths, simply due to systemd or boot scripts expecting the kernel module to be present
Example ZFS Compilation Error:
During package updates or installs, you'll see something like:
checking whether bdev_open_by_path() exists... configure: error: *** None of the expected "blkdev_get_by_path()" interfaces were detected. *** This may be because your kernel version is newer than what is *** supported, or you are using a patched custom kernel with *** incompatible modifications. *** *** ZFS Version: zfs-2.2.3-1~bpo12+1~rpt1 *** Compatible Kernels: 3.10 - 6.7
This error means ZFS cannot build its kernel module against Linux 6.12.x, making it unusable.
Why This Happens: The Version Trap
The key problem is that ZFS 2.2.3 remains installed even after a kernel upgrade, and it doesn't get upgraded automatically during
apt upgrade
. Since ZFS 2.2.3 only supports up to kernel 6.7, it fails to compile against 6.12.x.However, if you remove and then reinstall ZFS, the package manager installs ZFS 2.3.1, which does support Linux kernel 6.12.x. This version transition is what resolves the issue — but only if you explicitly purge and reinstall ZFS.
Worst Case: The System That Wouldn’t Boot
After upgrading the kernel and rebooting, the system failed to boot properly. It showed errors like:
cannot open access to console, the root account is locked
Although the system did not have critical filesystems on ZFS, the boot process still stalled because system services attempted to load the ZFS kernel module, which was no longer available. This resulted in an unrecoverable boot failure.
The only way forward was to reformat and reinstall Raspberry Pi OS. However, the default Raspberry Pi OS image still comes with a 6.6.x kernel, which is incompatible with ZFS 2.3.1 and newer kernels unless upgraded. Therefore, the recovery process requires one crucial step:
- First, perform a full system upgrade:
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
This brings the kernel up to 6.12.x.
- Then, reinstall ZFS:
sudo apt install zfs-dkms zfsutils-linux
Once this is complete, your system will be running kernel 6.12 with ZFS 2.3.1, and you can safely import your pools and resume operations.
Best Case Recovery: Clean Cut, Clean Upgrade
For users who can still log into their system, here's the cleanest and safest sequence to move forward:
- Stop all services using ZFS, including Docker, NFS, Samba, backup tools, etc.
- Export all ZFS pools:
sudo zpool export -a
3. Disable swap if it lives on a ZFS vdev:sudo swapoff /dev/sdXn
4. Purge ZFS packages:sudo apt purge zfsutils-linux zfs-dkms zfs-zed sudo rm -rf /usr/src/zfs* /var/lib/dkms/zfs
5. Update the kernel to the desired version:sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
6. Reboot into the new kernel:sudo reboot
7. Reinstall ZFS:sudo apt install zfs-dkms zfsutils-linux
8. Import your pool(s):sudo zpool import poolname
9. Restart services that depend on ZFS.
Final Notes: Prevention Is Better Than Recovery
To avoid this issue in the future:
- Hold your current working kernel version:
sudo apt-mark hold linux-image-rpi-v8 linux-headers-rpi-v8
* Or track ZFS GitHub for kernel compatibility before upgrading * Or test upgrades on a second Pi or cloned SD card before rolling them out to production
Conclusion: A Solvable Trap
ZFS on the Raspberry Pi remains a powerful option, but it demands careful version tracking. If you upgrade responsibly, or recover cleanly as described above, you can continue benefiting from advanced features like snapshots, send/receive, and compression even on this tiny powerhouse.
Don’t let a kernel update ruin your storage plans—with preparation, the Pi + ZFS combo can remain stable and strong.

2025-05-01 01:51:10Please respect Virginia Giuffre’s memory by refraining from asking about the circumstances or theories surrounding her passing.
Since Virginia Giuffre’s death, I’ve reflected on what she would want me to say or do. This piece is my attempt to honor her legacy.
When I first spoke with Virginia, I was struck by her unshakable hope. I had grown cynical after years in the anti-human trafficking movement, worn down by a broken system and a government that often seemed complicit. But Virginia’s passion, creativity, and belief that survivors could be heard reignited something in me. She reminded me of my younger, more hopeful self. Instead of warning her about the challenges ahead, I let her dream big, unburdened by my own disillusionment. That conversation changed me for the better, and following her lead led to meaningful progress.
Virginia was one of the bravest people I’ve ever known. As a survivor of Epstein, Maxwell, and their co-conspirators, she risked everything to speak out, taking on some of the world’s most powerful figures.
She loved when I said, “Epstein isn’t the only Epstein.” This wasn’t just about one man—it was a call to hold all abusers accountable and to ensure survivors find hope and healing.
The Epstein case often gets reduced to sensational details about the elite, but that misses the bigger picture. Yes, we should be holding all of the co-conspirators accountable, we must listen to the survivors’ stories. Their experiences reveal how predators exploit vulnerabilities, offering lessons to prevent future victims.
You’re not powerless in this fight. Educate yourself about trafficking and abuse—online and offline—and take steps to protect those around you. Supporting survivors starts with small, meaningful actions. Free online resources can guide you in being a safe, supportive presence.
When high-profile accusations arise, resist snap judgments. Instead of dismissing survivors as “crazy,” pause to consider the trauma they may be navigating. Speaking out or coping with abuse is never easy. You don’t have to believe every claim, but you can refrain from attacking accusers online.
Society also fails at providing aftercare for survivors. The government, often part of the problem, won’t solve this. It’s up to us. Prevention is critical, but when abuse occurs, step up for your loved ones and community. Protect the vulnerable. it’s a challenging but a rewarding journey.
If you’re contributing to Nostr, you’re helping build a censorship resistant platform where survivors can share their stories freely, no matter how powerful their abusers are. Their voices can endure here, offering strength and hope to others. This gives me great hope for the future.
Virginia Giuffre’s courage was a gift to the world. It was an honor to know and serve her. She will be deeply missed. My hope is that her story inspires others to take on the powerful.

2025-02-23 10:00:20Europe's economic framework requires restructuring grounded in realism. The Commission's Competitiveness Compass, alas, reveals dangerous left-hemisphere dominance and risks repeating Mao's mistakes.
The European Commission presented its "competitiveness compass" in January. There will be massive investments in biotechnology, materials technology, medicines, space, and the defence industry. AI gigafactories are to be established, while Europe will "maintain its leadership in quantum technologies" (a leadership that few seem to be aware of). This will be achieved through more environmental labelling schemes, nature credits, procurement rules, platforms, cooperation plans, and coordination systems. Although the report contains some bright spots, such as promises to ease the regulatory burden, the overall picture is strikingly lacking in creativity. Instead, we are mainly met with the usual thought patterns of the European technocracy, which manifest in additional centralised frameworks, quantifiable goals, and annual reports. Mao's ghost haunts Brussels.
The Missing Half of Europe's Brain
Iain McGilchrist, a British psychiatrist and philosopher, has launched the hemispheric hypothesis (a theory about how the two hemispheres of the brain work). The left hemisphere is more detail- and control-oriented, while the right hemisphere is holistic and creative. A society dominated by the left hemisphere, like our own according to McGilchrist, "would see it as its task to control everything maximally." The Commission's compass appears similarly lobotomised , prioritising measurable processes over imaginative solutions.
In an earlier text, I mentioned that Europe might need to return to its roots and asked if Europe should have "the same end goal as China." This is still a relevant and justified question. But if we are honest, China has implemented a series of well-thought-out reforms since the 1980s, in addition to its many well-known and large-scale investments. It is not necessarily wrong to be inspired by China, as many believe; it depends on which China you are inspired by.
Lessons from the Cat Theory
When Deng Xiaoping returned to power in the late 1970s, he chose a more pragmatic approach than his predecessors. China left Mao Zedong's purges of dissidents behind. Instead, he launched the cat theory: "it doesn't matter what colour the cat is as long as it catches mice", regarding economic development. It was now free to experiment with different models. Instead of ideological conformity, the most important thing was to increase productivity and material prosperity.
What was done in China?
- Companies and individuals were given more freedom
- Provinces and municipalities were given more autonomy
- Special economic zones were established, with different conditions and rules
- Programs to increase the number of banks were introduced
- The banking sector was deregulated
- Property rights and contract law began to be respected
China has since gone from being an economic backwater to not only being the world's largest economy in terms of purchasing power but also a global tech contender (leading in 37 out of 44 key technologies per ASPI).
EU's Compliance Obsession vs Chinese Pragmatism
And today, when China is astonishing the world with surprisingly cheap and competent AI systems, which recently set American tech stocks in motion, in the EU one is met with advertisements for yet another compliance training, this time about AI. Every new compliance training echoes Mao's ghost – ideological correctness overriding practical results. Is prosperity really built with certifications, directives, requirements, and penalties?
When we compare the Chinese experience with today's EU, the contrast is clear:
- Freedoms are curtailed. The right to privacy is undermined (Chat Control, etc.)
- Member states' ability to self-govern is reduced, year by year
- Streamlining and harmony are popular buzzwords in the bureaucracy
- The ECB is actively working to reduce the number of banks
- The banking sector is being regulated more and more
- Property rights and contract law are being eroded, which can be partly attributed to developments in payment systems
Deng's cat theory was an example of when the right hemisphere was involved in decision-making. Rather than just focusing on details (the cat's colour), the whole (the result) was important. The Chinese proverb "cross the river by feeling the stones" is another example of more holistic thinking. Under Deng's leadership, reforms were first tested in a free zone or a province. After a while, the reforms could be evaluated before they were possibly implemented on a larger scale. "Try before you buy" is also a wise principle that follows from complexity research. In sharp contrast to this approach was Mao's "Great Leap Forward," a part of a disastrous five-year plan that shows what can happen when the left hemisphere is given too much power. A tragedy of historic proportions - a mass famine - resulted. While Deng exorcized Mao's ghost through pragmatic experimentation, Brussels seems determined to resurrect. Today's EU risks repeating Mao's mistake of letting political abstractions ("green transition! digital decade!") override reality – Mao's ghost surely smiles at nature credit schemes replacing actual market signals.
Mao's ghost trives on the ontological mistake
The serious problems that the EU is facing have been built up over decades and stem from incorrect assumptions. The economy is not complicated. It is complex. The concepts are often confused, but they describe two fundamentally different things. The complicated refers to something composite, but which can still be unfolded and then folded back up again without changing its essence. The complex, on the other hand, refers to something entangled, where every attempt to divide it changes its character. Compare, for example, an airplane engine with a béarnaise sauce. If you mix up the concepts, you make an ontological mistake, a philosopher would say. A programmer would say: garbage in, garbage out. Mao's ghost thrives on this ontological error, convincing technocrats they can blueprint society like a Soviet tractor factory.
When a system is complicated, predictable, and linear, centralised coordination and control by the left hemisphere can work well. But in complex systems, it can never be a solution because it leads to reduced adaptability and increased system risks. Instead, the goal should be diversity and decentralisation, which provide greater adaptability! The faster the changes of the system or in the environment, the greater the demands on adaptability and flexibility - if the system is to survive, that is. Increased diversity and decentralisation would not only increase adaptability and flexibility but also promote creativity, an ability that will likely become increasingly important in a world where AI and automation are changing the rules.
A better path forward
Europe's economic framework requires restructuring grounded in realism. The Commission's competitiveness compass - fixated on metrics and control - reveals dangerous left-hemisphere dominance, echoing Maoist central planning's epistemological errors. Our path forward demands:
- Dual-brain governance (prioritising creativity over control)
- Banishing of category mistakes (acknowledging the complex adaptive nature of the economy)
- Pragmatism over ideology (policy sandboxes inspired by China's special economic zones)
- Anti-fragile design (increased autonomy of EU nations, within states, and decentralised banking)
- Sunset clauses on all bureaucracy (regulators cannot originate breakthroughs)
The alternative? Another technocratic Great Leap Forward - eco-certified, AI-monitored, but economically brittle and fundamentally maladapted to the complex global economy. As Deng's reformers understood: no institutional architecture, not even the First Emperor's Terracotta Army, can withstand modernity's tide.

@ 266815e0:6cd408a5
2025-04-29 17:47:57I'm excited to announce the release of Applesauce v1.0.0! There are a few breaking changes and a lot of improvements and new features across all packages. Each package has been updated to 1.0.0, marking a stable API for developers to build upon.
Applesauce core changes
There was a change in the
applesauce-core
package in theQueryStore
.The
Query
interface has been converted to a method instead of an object withkey
andrun
fields.A bunch of new helper methods and queries were added, checkout the changelog for a full list.
Applesauce Relay
There is a new
applesauce-relay
package that provides a simple RxJS based api for connecting to relays and publishing events.Documentation: applesauce-relay
Features:
- A simple API for subscribing or publishing to a single relay or a group of relays
- No
connect
orclose
methods, connections are managed automatically by rxjs - NIP-11
auth_required
support - Support for NIP-42 authentication
- Prebuilt or custom re-connection back-off
- Keep-alive timeout (default 30s)
- Client-side Negentropy sync support
Example Usage: Single relay
```typescript import { Relay } from "applesauce-relay";
// Connect to a relay const relay = new Relay("wss://relay.example.com");
// Create a REQ and subscribe to it relay .req({ kinds: [1], limit: 10, }) .subscribe((response) => { if (response === "EOSE") { console.log("End of stored events"); } else { console.log("Received event:", response); } }); ```
Example Usage: Relay pool
```typescript import { Relay, RelayPool } from "applesauce-relay";
// Create a pool with a custom relay const pool = new RelayPool();
// Create a REQ and subscribe to it pool .req(["wss://relay.damus.io", "wss://relay.snort.social"], { kinds: [1], limit: 10, }) .subscribe((response) => { if (response === "EOSE") { console.log("End of stored events on all relays"); } else { console.log("Received event:", response); } }); ```
Applesauce actions
Another new package is the
applesauce-actions
package. This package provides a set of async operations for common Nostr actions.Actions are run against the events in the
EventStore
and use theEventFactory
to create new events to publish.Documentation: applesauce-actions
Example Usage:
```typescript import { ActionHub } from "applesauce-actions";
// An EventStore and EventFactory are required to use the ActionHub import { eventStore } from "./stores.ts"; import { eventFactory } from "./factories.ts";
// Custom publish logic const publish = async (event: NostrEvent) => { console.log("Publishing", event); await app.relayPool.publish(event, app.defaultRelays); };
// The
publish
method is optional for the asyncrun
method to work const hub = new ActionHub(eventStore, eventFactory, publish); ```Once an
ActionsHub
is created, you can use therun
orexec
methods to execute actions:```typescript import { FollowUser, MuteUser } from "applesauce-actions/actions";
// Follow fiatjaf await hub.run( FollowUser, "3bf0c63fcb93463407af97a5e5ee64fa883d107ef9e558472c4eb9aaaefa459d", );
// Or use the
exec
method with a custom publish method await hub .exec( MuteUser, "3bf0c63fcb93463407af97a5e5ee64fa883d107ef9e558472c4eb9aaaefa459d", ) .forEach((event) => { // NOTE: Don't publish this event because we never want to mute fiatjaf // pool.publish(['wss://pyramid.fiatjaf.com/'], event) }); ```There are a log more actions including some for working with NIP-51 lists (private and public), you can find them in the reference
Applesauce loaders
The
applesauce-loaders
package has been updated to support any relay connection libraries and not justrx-nostr
.Before:
```typescript import { ReplaceableLoader } from "applesauce-loaders"; import { createRxNostr } from "rx-nostr";
// Create a new rx-nostr instance const rxNostr = createRxNostr();
// Create a new replaceable loader const replaceableLoader = new ReplaceableLoader(rxNostr); ```
After:
```typescript
import { Observable } from "rxjs"; import { ReplaceableLoader, NostrRequest } from "applesauce-loaders"; import { SimplePool } from "nostr-tools";
// Create a new nostr-tools pool const pool = new SimplePool();
// Create a method that subscribes using nostr-tools and returns an observable function nostrRequest: NostrRequest = (relays, filters, id) => { return new Observable((subscriber) => { const sub = pool.subscribe(relays, filters, { onevent: (event) => { subscriber.next(event); }, onclose: () => subscriber.complete(), oneose: () => subscriber.complete(), });
return () => sub.close();
}); };
// Create a new replaceable loader const replaceableLoader = new ReplaceableLoader(nostrRequest); ```
Of course you can still use rx-nostr if you want:
```typescript import { createRxNostr } from "rx-nostr";
// Create a new rx-nostr instance const rxNostr = createRxNostr();
// Create a method that subscribes using rx-nostr and returns an observable function nostrRequest( relays: string[], filters: Filter[], id?: string, ): Observable
{ // Create a new oneshot request so it will complete when EOSE is received const req = createRxOneshotReq({ filters, rxReqId: id }); return rxNostr .use(req, { on: { relays } }) .pipe(map((packet) => packet.event)); } // Create a new replaceable loader const replaceableLoader = new ReplaceableLoader(nostrRequest); ```
There where a few more changes, check out the changelog
Applesauce wallet
Its far from complete, but there is a new
applesauce-wallet
package that provides a actions and queries for working with NIP-60 wallets.Documentation: applesauce-wallet
Example Usage:
```typescript import { CreateWallet, UnlockWallet } from "applesauce-wallet/actions";
// Create a new NIP-60 wallet await hub.run(CreateWallet, ["wss://mint.example.com"], privateKey);
// Unlock wallet and associated tokens/history await hub.run(UnlockWallet, { tokens: true, history: true }); ```

2025-05-16 17:00:59Technológiai fejlemények
Az Egyesült Államokban és világszerte jelentős előrelépések történtek a nukleáris technológia területén. A mesterséges intelligencia (AI) egyre nagyobb szerepet kap az atomerőművek működtetésében: például a kaliforniai Diablo Canyon atomerőmű már alkalmaz generatív AI-t a dokumentumkezelés és az üzemeltetési hatékonyság javítására. Az AI segíti az üzemeltetőket a karbantartás előrejelzésében, a biztonság növelésében és a reaktorok élettartamának meghosszabbításában is. Emellett az USA Nukleáris Szabályozó Bizottsága (NRC) is vizsgálja, hogyan gyorsíthatná fel az engedélyezési folyamatokat AI-alapú rendszerekkel, ami jelentősen felgyorsíthatja az új reaktorok telepítését.
A NANO Nuclear Energy jelentős mérföldkövet ért el: megszerezte a KRONOS MMR™ (45 MWth teljesítményű, helyhez kötött mikroreaktor) és a LOKI MMR™ (1–5 MWth teljesítményű, hordozható mikroreaktor) technológiákat, és ezek fejlesztését az USA-ban és Kanadában is előmozdítja. A KRONOS MMR üzemanyag-minősítési módszertanát az NRC már jóváhagyta, ami kulcsfontosságú a kereskedelmi bevezetéshez
Ipari és piaci fejlemények
Az amerikai The Nuclear Company startup 46 millió dolláros tőkebevonással kívánja új, nagy teljesítményű atomerőművek fejlesztését megkezdeni, elsősorban már engedélyezett helyszíneken. A cél, hogy az első flottában összesen 6 gigawatt kapacitást hozzanak létre. Ez a lépés válasz a gyorsan növekvő amerikai áramigényre, amelyet főként az adatközpontok és a mesterséges intelligencia-alkalmazások hajtanak. Ugyanakkor a nukleáris ipar pénzügyi kilátásait bizonytalanság övezi, mivel az amerikai törvényhozás egyes tervezetei a nukleáris energia adókedvezményeinek megszüntetését is kilátásba helyezték, ami a jövőbeni beruházások megtérülését is befolyásolhatja.
Belgiumban a parlament váratlan fordulattal úgy döntött, hogy nem zárják be az atomerőműveket, hanem tíz évvel meghosszabbítják a reaktorok élettartamát, sőt, új reaktorok építését is tervezik. A döntés mögött az energiaválság, az ellátásbiztonság és a geopolitikai feszültségek állnak.
Magyarországon folytatódik a Paks II. projekt előkészítése, és napirenden van kis moduláris reaktorok (SMR) telepítése is, amelyek néhány száz megawattos teljesítményükkel akár ipari zónákat vagy városokat is önállóan elláthatnak.
Pénzügyi és geopolitikai aktualitások
A nukleáris energia geopolitikai jelentősége továbbra is kiemelkedő. Tajvan szombaton leállítja utolsó működő atomerőművi blokkját, ami jelentős LNG-import költségnövekedést eredményez, és komoly vitákat váltott ki a szigetországban. A törvényhozás ugyanakkor már vizsgálja az atomenergia-törvény felülvizsgálatát, amely lehetővé teheti a reaktorok újraindítását – erről akár népszavazás is lehet a közeljövőben.
Az USA és Irán között folytatódnak az atomprogramról szóló tárgyalások. Bár közelednek az álláspontok, az USA új szankciókat vezetett be Irán ellen, mivel Teherán továbbra is magas szintű urándúsítást folytat. Az esetleges megállapodás rövid távon növelheti az iráni kőolajexportot, ami a világpiaci árakra is hatással lehet.

2025-02-16 08:39:59Almost 150 years ago, the British newspaper editor William Thomas Stead wrote that "the editorial pen is a sceptre of power, compared with which the sceptre of many a monarch is but a gilded lath". He had begun to regard journalism as something more than just conveying information - the journalist or editor could become a ruler.
Times had certainly changed compared to a few hundred years earlier. Before Gutenberg's invention of the printing press, it was mainly the church that controlled the dissemination of information in Europe, but when Stead put pen to paper, this control had shifted to newspapers, schools, and universities. Eventually, technologies like radio and TV entered the scene, but the power dynamics remained asymmetrical - only a few could send information to the many.
However, with the emergence of the internet, and especially with the spread of social media, a significant change followed. Instead of only a few being able to send information to the many, many could send to many. Almost anyone could now create their own newspaper, radio, or TV channel. The power over information dissemination was decentralised.
Ten years ago, Roberta Alenius, who was then press secretary for Sweden's Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt of the Moderate Party, shared her experiences with Social Democratic and Moderate Party internet activists on social media. She reported that social media played a significant role in how news "comes out" and is shaped, and that journalism was now downstream of social media. Five years later, NATO's then-Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said that "NATO must be prepared for both conventional and hybrid threats: from tanks to tweets." This finally underscores the importance of social media.
Elon Musk, who took over X (formerly Twitter) in 2022, has claimed that "it's absolutely fundamental and transformative that the people actually get to decide the news and narrative and what's important," and that citizen journalism is the future.
While his platform allows most expressions - for better or worse - the reach of messages is instead limited ("freedom of speech does not mean freedom of reach "). X has also opened its recommendation algorithm to the outside world by making it open-source. Although this is a welcome step, the fact remains that it's impossible to know which code is actually used and what adjustments are made by humans or algorithms.
William Thomas Stead's "sceptre of power", which has wandered from the church to newspaper and TV editorial offices, and now to citizens according to Elon Musk, risks being transferred to algorithms' opaque methods?
Instead of talking about "toxic algorithms" and TikTok bans, like the so many do today, we should ask ourselves more fundamental questions. What happens when algorithms are no longer objective (how can they ever be?), but instead become tools for shaping our reality? Perhaps our greatest challenge today is not deciding who should govern the information landscape, but instead recognising that no one is up to the task - not even well-ventilated computers.

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

2025-02-14 08:42:40A recent US data leak has brought to light a disturbing reality: our everyday technology has become a powerful tool for surveillance and control. Paradoxically, new technology holds the key to creating a safer, more resilient, and perhaps even more human society.
Preparedness remains a multifaceted topic that continues to spark engagement. The subject is not just about energy infrastructure and food supply but also about seemingly more orthogonal issues like obesity and cybersecurity.
The significant importance of cybersecurity can be illustrated by examples from an American company that was recently subjected to an IT intrusion with a subsequent data leak. The company, Gravy Analytics, specializes in providing mobile phone data that provides exceptionally detailed information about where individuals are located at any given time. Data that can be used, for example, for advertising purposes, but also for more sinister purposes such as extortion or espionage. The company has previously been accused of using misleading methods to collect location data without valid consent from individuals.
Mobile operators have long had the ability to locate their subscribers' positions over time. This leak shows how even apps on your phone risk revealing your location. Analysis of the samples leaked from the leak shows that data has leaked out for users of several well-known mobile applications, including the popular mobile game Candy Crush and the widely used online dating service Tinder.
Even if apps only use an ad ID when collecting data, these collected digital breadcrumbs can often be deanonymized. It is possible, for example, to identify daily routines, workplaces, and where and when an individual usually sleeps. This usually enables identification. But it is also possible to map an individual's social circle and romantic relationships. The mapping risks quickly becoming both sensitive and invasive.
The fact that such data is collected, but especially that it leaks, also poses a threat to preparedness. By mapping military or other sensitive locations (energy supply, water treatment plants, critical infrastructure) along with location and time data, it is potentially possible to identify employees at these locations. Information that can then be used by those who want to cause harm.
It is not written in the stars that citizens must be dependent on a few large IT companies. Our data does not need to be collected and used in a way that does not benefit us, without our knowledge. There are alternatives to large-scale and "super-registers". Technology such as asymmetric encryption and zero-knowledge proofs can be used to give power back to the individual. If the parliament and government are serious about improving preparedness, it is high time to leave old thought patterns like Chat Control 2 behind and instead explore such possibilities.
The primary purpose of the internet was originally to enable information transfer without intermediaries ("peer-to-peer"). Today, intermediaries are everywhere. It is worth remembering that peer-to-peer is not some obscure technical term. In case we have forgotten about it, it simply means: person to person, without intermediaries.
Maybe new technology can not only give us a safer and more resilient society, but also a more human one?

2025-02-10 08:16:32The risks associated with cryptocurrencies have recently received attention in the media, where e.g. the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority warns of the high volatility and risk of investments in crypto. Within the EU, as usual, significant efforts are being made to expand the already extensive regulatory framework. Meanwhile, in the US, there has been a marked turnaround. Even the presidential family has launched their own cryptocurrencies, resulting in criticism from industry experts .
Important perspectives, however, are conspicuous by their absence in the conversation.
Iain McGilchrist, a British psychiatrist and philosopher, has introduced the hemispheric hypothesis (a theory about how the brain's two hemispheres function). The left hemisphere is more detail- and control-oriented, while the right hemisphere is more holistic. A society dominated by the left hemisphere, such as our own according to McGilchrist , "would see it as its task to control everything maximally and would have a paranoid feeling that we need to have surveillance cameras everywhere...".
During a speech at the World Economic Forum, President Trump recently stated that conservatives complain about big banks, such as Bank of America, not allowing them to conduct business within the bank. Critics argue that the American banking system has been used to persecute political opponents, both during Obama's and Biden's terms. Under Obama, 'Operation Chokepoint' was introduced to limit certain businesses' access to banking services. A subcommittee in the Senate now wants to eradicate this phenomenon.
More and more people are discovering that their money is not always under their control. Non-profit associations and congregations are not allowed to open bank accounts. Sometimes they are even thrown out as bank customers. Others may report being subjected to lengthy interrogations by the bank about what they intend to do with their money, even when they just want to transfer funds between their own accounts. Rejected churches are met with silence, while a bank account is (still!) necessary to fully operate in society.
When leading economists at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) argue that a cashless society can threaten fundamental rights , including property rights, when churches are refused bank accounts in what is described as "a threat to civil society" and when regulations still fail to combat organised crime , is it not reasonable to wonder if we are on the right path?
With cash, people can pay freely without intermediaries, which constitutes a form of financial freedom. The notes you hold in your hand are your own. Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, offer a similar possibility: an electronic, peer-to-peer cash system (person to person).
A society dominated by the left hemisphere results in a pathological need for control, according to McGilchrist. A more holistic perspective, taking into account the right hemisphere, would acknowledge that too much control can be detrimental, that property rights are a fundamental right, and that financial freedom is a human right. Do these perspectives not deserve more attention?

Heritage Distilling Now Accepts Bitcoin and Will Hold It as a Company AssetYesterday, Heritage Distilling Holding Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: CASK), a leading U.S. craft spirits producer, announced that it will begin accepting Bitcoin as payment through its direct-to-consumer (DTC) e-commerce platform and will hold bitcoin as strategic assets under a newly approved Cryptocurrency Treasury Reserve Policy.
Heritage Distilling Implements Cryptocurrency Treasury Policy. Read the press release here: https://t.co/ve4Ttv0qGw $CASK pic.twitter.com/8MZLovwrjw
— Heritage Distilling (@HeritageDistill) May 15, 2025
The policy, approved by the company’s Board of Directors as part of a broader sales and treasury diversification strategy, was developed by the Technology and Cryptocurrency Committee, chaired by tech and digital payments leader Matt Swann. The move makes Heritage the first in the craft spirits sector to formally integrate bitcoin into both its payment and treasury operations.
“A new age of commerce is emerging, with cryptocurrencies leading the way to reduce friction between parties, buyers and sellers of goods and services,” stated Matt Swann on behalf of the Board. “Having been immersed in the convergence of technology and currencies for nearly two decades, it is exciting to see Heritage forge headfirst into the opportunity to combine the power of the consumer and cryptocurrency.”
Heritage’s decision comes amid rapidly growing public interest in digital assets. The company said it estimates that between 65 to 86 million Americans currently hold Bitcoin and crypto, and realizes the opportunity Heritage has to acquire more BTC by accepting it as payment.
“Heritage has always been an innovator and once again we are leading the way in the craft spirits space as we prepare to accept Bitcoin and Dogecoin as a form of payment for online e-commerce sales and to acquire and hold these cryptocurrencies as assets,” commented the CEO of Heritage Justin Stiefel. “As I have noted in the past, unlike traditional investors who purchase crypto with cash and are immediately subject to potential pricing volatility, as a company producing goods for sale, acceptable margins between the retail price of our products and their cost of production is expected to offset potential fluctuations in the value of cryptos we accept as payment. This provides us considerable financial flexibility as we develop product offerings for users and enthusiasts of these fiat alternatives.”
The company sees Bitcoin as a long-term strategic asset and a forward-looking step in connecting with modern consumers while also exploring new efficiencies in financial operations. Heritage is not only integrating Bitcoin as a payment method but also incorporating it into its treasury strategy.
The new Cryptocurrency Treasury Policy can be found here.

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

Developer SHIFT UP has announced that their latest titled, Stellar Blade, that was released on PS5 on the 2024, will release on PC via Steam and EGS on the 11th of June 2025.
The game will be priced at $60, and $80 for the edition of the game that includes the 'Twin Expansion Pack', which includes the NieR: Automata DLC and the Goddess of Victory: Nikke DLC, and a key to redeem a Stellar Blade costume in the developer's previous Free-to-Play title Goddess of Victory: Nikke.
The trailer released to announce said release date also showcases the changes the made for the game and highlight PC specific enhancements, support, and options.
It's worth noting, in terms of negative news that tagged along with this, that the game will have Denuvo running, which there are evidence that decreases a game's performance, and may prevent you from playing the game offline. The game will also have an optional PSN account login, and because of this, the game is not available for purchase in around 130 countries. There's also an exclusive outfit locked behind a PSN-to-Steam account linking.
Here's the system requirements:

2025-01-18 08:31:05Preparedness is a hot topic these days. In Europe, Poland has recently introduced compulsory lessons in weapons handling for schoolchildren for war-preparedness purposes. In Sweden, the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) has recently published the brochure on what to do "If crisis or war comes".
However, in the event of war, a country must have a robust energy infrastructure. Sweden does not seem to have this, at least judging by the recent years' electricity price turbulence in southern Sweden. Nor does Germany. The vulnerabilities are many and serious. It's hard not to be reminded of a Swedish prime minister who, just eleven years ago, saw defense as a special interest.
A secure food supply is another crucial factor for a country's resilience. This is something that Sweden lacks. In the early 1990s, nearly 75 percent of the country's food was produced domestically. Today, half of it must be imported. This makes our country more vulnerable to crises and disruptions. Despite our extensive agricultural areas, we are not even self-sufficient in basic commodities like potatoes, which is remarkable.
The government's signing of the Kunming-Montreal Framework for Biological Diversity two years ago risks exacerbating the situation. According to the framework, countries must significantly increase their protected areas over the coming years. The goal is to protect biological diversity. By 2030, at least 30% of all areas, on land and at sea, must be conserved. Sweden, which currently conserves around 15%, must identify large areas to be protected over the coming years. With shrinking fields, we risk getting less wheat, fewer potatoes, and less rapeseed. It's uncertain whether technological advancements can compensate for this, especially when the amount of pesticides and industrial fertilizers must be reduced significantly.
In Danish documents on the "roadmap for sustainable development" of the food system, the possibility of redistributing agricultural land (land distribution reforms) and agreements on financing for restoring cultivated land to wetlands (the restoration of cultivated, carbon-rich soils) are discussed. One cannot avoid the impression that the cultivated areas need to be reduced, in some cases significantly.
The green transition has been a priority on the political agenda in recent years, with the goal of reducing carbon emissions and increasing biological diversity. However, it has become clear that the transition risks having consequences for our preparedness.
One example is the debate about wind power. On the one hand, wind power is said to contribute to reducing carbon emissions and increasing renewable energy. On the other hand, it is said to pose a security risk, as wind turbines can affect radio communication and radar surveillance.
Of course, it's easy to be in favor of biological diversity, but what do we do if this goal comes into conflict with the needs of a robust societal preparedness? Then we are faced with a difficult prioritization. Should we put the safety of people and society before the protection of nature, or vice versa?
“Politics is not the art of the possible. It consists in choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable” said J. K. Galbraith, one of the most influential economists of the 20th century. Maybe we can’t both eat the cake and have it too?
