Do you guys actually identify with you online username or do you identify with government name? No this isn't some woke left ideal about pronouns. I do not use my real name for any of my handles, X and Nostr and email are all fake. Meaningful and something i picked specifically. My government name is something that was forced on me and yes I know I can it but the persona I have created online feels authentic and what I see myself as. It's what I'll be using to create my small businesses. My LLC is going to a copy of what I have created.

Adam Back Presents Blockstream’s Bitcoin-First Infrastructure Vision at Bitcoin 2025 

Adam Back, Co-founder and CEO of Blockstream, took the stage at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference with a clear message: Bitcoin is becoming the foundation of global finance—and Blockstream is building the infrastructure to support it. 

“So I think Bitcoin is still early,” Back began, “but more mainstream players are starting to become involved. It is starting to become the foundation of global finance.” From El Salvador’s President becoming “patient zero” to institutional adoption spreading rapidly, Back emphasized that “people in all layers of company management and politics have become orange-pilled.”

Citing Bitcoin’s accelerating growth trajectory, Back referenced Hal Finney’s prediction that Bitcoin’s addressable market could hit $200 trillion. “Today, we are a lot closer to that situation,” he noted. He alluded again that this is just the beginning for Bitcoin. 

To meet that growing demand, Back announced Blockstream’s plan to support the journey from 100 million to 1 billion users by simplifying self-custody and Bitcoin-native asset management. “We’re laser-focused on Bitcoin,” he said. “At Blockstream, we are here to provide the infrastructure to enable that.” 

In a detailed presentation, Back outlined five core pillars powering Blockstream’s strategy:

• Infrastructure Expansion: “Bitcoin is becoming the dominant financial asset and platform for global transactions. Blockstream enables and supports the infrastructure around it.”

• Unified Platform: Blockstream is developing one platform built for the Bitcoin economy—including consumer products (secure self-custody), enterprise solutions (asset transfer on Bitcoin rails), and institutional integration (custody for large-scale investment).

• The Blockstream App: Designed to streamline self-custody, the app simplifies onboarding, supports BTC, LBTC, and USDT, and offers advanced features for experienced users.

• Enterprise Tools: With custody, tokenization without smart contract risks, and SDK/API-ready infrastructure, Blockstream is pushing enterprise-grade Bitcoin use cases—from corporate finance to treasuries.

• Security and Ecosystem Design: “Secure, proven, and built to last,” Back said, referring to Blockstream’s Bitcoin-first architecture. “Security is our cornerstone, and every product connects at every layer.”

In closing, Back reaffirmed his long-term vision: “The future of finance runs on Bitcoin.”

Eric Trump Said Everybody Wants Bitcoin. Everybody is Buying Bitcoin

At the 2025 Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, the Executive Chairman & Board Member of American Bitcoin Mike Ho, the CEO of American Bitcoin Matt Prusak, the founder of Altcoin Daily Aaron Arnold, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump discussed the future of Bitcoin and their views.

Eric Trump started the panel by saying, “we are bringing Bitcoin to America and America is going to win the crypto revolution.” 

Donald continued by mentioning the $2.5 billion bitcoin treasury.

“All the announcement yesterday, True Social and TMTG committing $2.5 billion to a bitcoin treasury,” stated Trump Jr. “Then the trifecta of crypto you have is what we are doing with the world liberty and USD1 from a DeFi platform. We are very long crypto.”

Eric talked about how all the world wants Bitcoin and that most companies are having problems when buying Bitcoin because there is a lot of demand and not as much supply.
“Everybody wants Bitcoin. Everybody is buying Bitcoin,” Eric stated.

“The whole system is broken and now all of the sudden you have crypto which solves all the problems,” commented Eric. “It makes everything cheaper, it makes everything faster, it makes it safer, it makes it more transparent. It makes the whole system more functional.“

Mike Ho explained his view of the volatility of Bitcoin and how it benefits everybody.

“We see Bitcoin mining as just the foundational layer of being able to accumulate more creative Bitcoin for our shareholders at a discount to what the market can buy Bitcoin for,” commented Ho. “Then there is a value in the volatility of the stock. Usually volatility carries a negative connotation, but in here it’s the volatility that allows us to raise very low cost converts to even accelerate accumulation of Bitcoin.”

Matt Prusak mentioned how they are stacking sats and accumulating as much Bitcoin as they can.

“We are looking for ways to accumulate as much Bitcoin as fast as possible,” said Prusak. “We are stacking sats for our mining operations. We are going to stack sats for the accumulation.”

They all made predictions of Bitcoin’s end price of this year, Eric said $170,000, Trump Jr between $150,000 and $175,000 and Mike Ho over $200,000. Eric finalized with, “the next 10 years are going to be absolutely parabolical.”

Marty's Bent

Last week we covered the bombshell developments in the Samourai Wallet case. For those who didn't read that, last Monday the world was made aware of the fact that the SDNY was explicitly told by FinCEN that the federal regulator did not believe that Samourai Wallet was a money services business six months before arresting the co-founders of Samourai Wallet for conspiracy to launder money and illegally operating a money services business. This was an obvious overstep by the SDNY that many believed would be quickly alleviated, especially considering the fact that the Trump administration via the Department of Justice has made it clear that they do not intend to rule via prosecution.

It seems that this is not the case as the SDNY responded to a letter sent from the defense to dismiss the case by stating that they fully plan to move forward. Stating that they only sought the recommendations of FinCEN employees and did not believe that those employees' comments were indicative of FinCEN's overall views on this particular case. It's a pretty egregious abuse of power by the SDNY. I'm not sure if the particular lawyers and judges within the Southern District of New York are very passionate about preventing the use of self-custody bitcoin and products that enable bitcoiners to transact privately, or if they're simply participating in a broader meta war with the Trump administration - who has made it clear to federal judges across the country that last Fall's election will have consequences, mainly that the Executive Branch will try to effectuate the policies that President Trump campaigned on by any legal means necessary - and Samouari Wallet is simply in the middle of that meta war.

However, one thing is pretty clear to me, this is an egregious overstep of power. The interpretation of that law, as has been laid out and confirmed by FinCEN over the last decade, is pretty clear; you cannot be a money services business if you do not control the funds that people are sending to each other, which is definitely the case with Samourai Wallet. People downloaded Samourai Wallet, spun up their own private-public key pairs and initiated transactions themselves. Samourai never custodied funds or initiated transactions on behalf of their users. This is very cut and dry. Straight to the point. It should be something that anyone with more than two brain cells is able to discern pretty quickly.

It is imperative that anybody in the industry who cares about being able to hold bitcoin in self-custody, to mine bitcoin, and to send bitcoin in a peer-to-peer fashion makes some noise around this case. None of the current administration's attempts to foster innovation around bitcoin in the United States will matter if the wrong precedent is set in this case. If the SDNY is successful in prosecuting Samourai Wallet, it will mean that anybody holding Bitcoin in self-custody, running a bitcoin fold node or mining bitcoin will have to KYC all of their users and counterparts lest they be labeled a money services business that is breaking laws stemming from the Bank Secrecy Act. This will effectively make building a self-custody bitcoin wallet, running a node, or mining bitcoin in tillegal in the United States. The ability to comply with the rules that would be unleashed if this Samourai case goes the wrong way, are such that it will effectively destroy the industry overnight.

It is yet to be seen whether or not the Department of Justice will step in to publicly flog the SDNY and force them to stop pursuing this case. This is the only likely way that the case will go away at this point, so it is very important that bitcoiners who care about being able to self-custody bitcoin, mine bitcoin, or send bitcoin in a peer-to-peer fashion in the United States make it clear to the current administration and any local politicians that this is an issue that you care deeply about. If we are too complacent, there is a chance that the SDNY could completely annihilate the bitcoin industry in America despite of all of the positive momentum we're seeing from all angles at the moment.

Make some noise!

Bitcoin Adoption by Power Companies: The Next Frontier

In my recent conversation with Andrew Myers from Satoshi Energy, he shared their ambitious mission to "enable every electric power company to use bitcoin by block 1,050,000" – roughly three years from now. This strategic imperative isn't just about creating new Bitcoin users; it's about sovereignty. Andrew emphasized that getting Bitcoin into the hands of energy companies who value self-sovereignty creates a more balanced future economic landscape. The excitement was palpable as he described how several energy companies are already moving beyond simply selling power to Bitcoin miners and are beginning to invest in mining operations themselves.

"You have global commodity companies being like, 'Oh, this is another commodity – we want to invest in this, we want to own this,'" - Andrew Myers

Perhaps most fascinating was Andrew's revelation about major energy companies in Texas developing Bitcoin collateral products for power contracts – a practical application that could revolutionize how energy transactions are settled. As energy companies continue embracing Bitcoin for both operations and collateral, we're witnessing the early stages of a profound shift in how critical infrastructure interfaces with sound money. The implications for both sectors could be transformative.

Kehinde and Taiwo Ogundipe, known as the Rex Twins, made significant strides in the Nigerian art scene, particularly in Lagos during the 1970s and 1980s. Their collaborative works, often signed jointly, adorned various parts of Lagos, including Ikate, Itire, Ijesha, and Ojuelegba. Their art, characterized by vibrant street illustrations, not only showcased their talent but also their unity as twins, they shared a single wife, Patricia adewuyi and together, they had a son named Noah.

In December 1976, The Rex twins meet Patricia at the when she was just 24 years old at the at a palm wine bar in ijesha tedo, Lagos. Their Relationship quickly develop to a unique union where both brother married Patricia choosing to live together as one family.

There unique relationship was first reported by drum magazine in 1978, highlighting their decision to marry one woman as a testament of there inseparable

Th twins furthermore explained that they want to prove to the world and to Nigerians that as one man can marry more than one wives, that twins can also justify their oneness by owning things in common. God made us to be one in what ever we do. This point of view emphasized more on their beliefs in the deep bond they share and their desire to live in complete unity

The Rex Twins, Kehinde and Taiwo Ogundipe, were visual artists based in Lagos, Nigeria. They were known for working together on paintings, sign writing, and graphic art.

Occupations of the Rex Twins

1. Sign Writers – They specialized in creating hand-painted signboards, which were a popular form of advertising in Nigeria during the 1970s and 1980s.

2. Muralists – They painted large murals on buildings and public spaces.

3. Portrait Artists – They offered portraiture services, painting realistic images of individuals or families.

4. Commercial Artists – Their art included illustrations for businesses, advertisements, and posters.

5. Collaborative Painters – They worked as a team, reinforcing their philosophy of doing everything together.

Their shared artistic identity made them locally famous not just because of their talent, but also due to their deep bond as twins who lived and worked as one unit, even extending to their personal lives, including marriage.

Their story is often highlighted as an example of how art, identity, and unconventional relationships can intersect in culturally significant ways.

The story of the Rex Twins and Patricia teaches several powerful and thought-provoking lessons, culturally, philosophically, and socially. Here's a breakdown of what their act teaches:

1. Unity and Oneness

The Rex Twins believed deeply in the idea that being twins went beyond biology, it meant sharing everything, including work, life, and even love. Their act teaches about total unity, and how some people can live in deep cooperation and harmony, even in ways that challenge norms.

1. Redefining Love and Marriage

Their decision to marry one wife together challenges the traditional structure of romantic relationships and marriage. It opens up discussion about the flexibility of love, showing that love doesn’t always fit into strict cultural boxes.

It questions double standards—why is polygamy (one man, many wives) widely accepted in some cultures, but polyandry (one woman, two husbands) is taboo?

1. Boldness and Nonconformity

Their lives were a form of rebellion against social expectations. They were unapologetically themselves, choosing to live in a way that made sense to them, even though society might have criticized or mocked them.

This teaches courage—the courage to live your truth, even if the world doesn’t understand it.

1. The Complexity of Human Relationships

Their story reminds us that human relationships are not always simple.

It teaches us to withhold judgment, be curious rather than critical, and understand that every relationship has its own logic and depth.

1. Living a Life of Purpose and Identity

They used both their art and their relationship as a statement of identity.

It teaches us to be intentional: about how we love, how we live, and what we create.

Finally, The Rex Twins and Patricia didn’t just share a relationship, they made a statement. Their story is less about whether their choices were “right” or “wrong,” and more about what it means to live with conviction, unity, and authenticity.

Resist the black pill. If the evolution of the "bitcoin community" bothers you, I'm with you. It's very likely that you need to shift your expectations but not your principles.

Lately, I've been hearing many bitcoiners and non-bitcoiners point out how the bitcoin world is embracing the suits—the politicians and traditional finance. This is on full display at Bitcoin 2025. I haven't watched the conference, but I have seen a few clips that seem to trigger people, and I get it. Believe me, I do. Please read this as kind advice for your own good.

We have many memes in the bitcoin space.

• Bitcoin Fixes This
• Not Your Keys Not Your Coins
• Never Sell Your Bitcoin
• HODL

There are many more. Memes are meant to compress a large amount of info into a small package. They work very well. But just because people repeat memes doesn't mean they understand the meaning and dense knowledge that caused them to develop. I think many bitcoiners, disappointed in the status quo, have miscalculated their fellow bitcoiners. After all, it is easy to repeat memes and seem like you are in the club. Many are not. Many do not share our values.

The Inevitability of Where We Are

I've been aware of bitcoin for a long time now. I didn't get it for many years. I didn't realize where it was coming from. As I started to understand how it was a technical application for many economic and technological things I already believed in, it started to come together. By this point in my life, though, I had already realized that most people are just going with the flow. They don't think deeply about the issues I care about. They are too practical. It took some time for me to realize that this doesn't make me superior to them, just different. I began to realize that these people matter, but it is a waste of time to try to convince them intellectually. Practical solutions are the only way. You see, most people do not even understand or care about how the current system works. They just want what they want for their families. Many are very good at it. They play the game. They don't wonder why the game was made or who made it. There are also many people that understand the issues with the system but simply want to use them to enrich themselves. They see what we see but don't care to change it as long as they can profit from it.

As bitcoin becomes more commonly used/bought/traded, it will move into these camps. The number of people that are hard-core bitcoiners is small. Very small. It's not going to become a significant portion of the population. Just as those that get economics aren't, nor are those that understand technology on a deep level. Don't get me wrong. It will grow, but it's never going to be the majority.

So with all this in mind, it is inevitable that a scarce money/asset would attract people that simply want to use it to make themselves wealthy. It's inevitable that bitcoin will become integrated into the financial system. The state will not be able to kill it, so it tries to use it. Is this good? Well, I don't think it is, but that doesn't really matter now, does it? Bitcoin doesn't care about what I think. Just as gold doesn't care how murderous and evil the man is that holds it.

Bitcoin Doesn't Fix This... Not Yet At Least

I'm beginning to think that many that are decrying the current state of bitcoin actually believed that "bitcoin fixes this." I mean, they believed it might do it overnight. I am having a hard time not thinking that many people actually think that when someone buys bitcoin, they have some sort of "born-again" experience. That's nonsense, and I doubt anyone would say this, but I think many might have believed it. Bitcoin, once it replaces the fiat system and revolutionizes banking, will fix many problems we see. The thing is, before fiat money printing, we still had many problems. The incentives that fiat money printing creates are not all the problems that exist. It just amplifies them. Bitcoin doesn't magically make people hate taxes and the state. We've had many years to win over those people to bitcoin, and frankly, we have a long way to go to even get those people. Maybe we should adjust our time preference.

The Vanguard

So what's my point? If you are triggered by all this bitcoin conference nonsense, all this statist boot-licking, I'm with you. It's pathetic. Bitcoin was started by cypherpunks. By people that opposed the state. But they aren't here now. You are. Also, while I'm on this point, I think we overstate the early bitcoiners. I think plenty of them thought bitcoin, if it succeeded, would become very valuable. It's baked into the design. Don't kid yourself. Fiat has no bottom, and bitcoin has no top. But it was more than that. So bitcoin needs to be sovereign and censorship-resistant. If you care about these things, live it. Run a node. Run a lightning node. Use open-source software stacks. Dump your MacBook Pro and use Linux. Support devs. Be an uncle Jim to your friends and family. Do the work. We are the vanguard, and we should be principled. That doesn't mean a vow of poverty, but it does mean spending bitcoin. You can spend and replace. There always needs to be people that push back on the normies. It's better to do this with actions over words.

Keep holding onto your values. Live them out. Values are literally what you value. And if you aren't doing things that align with your values, they really aren't your values. You are larping. Just don't lie to yourself most of all. Lies are like poison. Sometimes you have to be honest with where you are in the moment. Take stock and adjust your frame. What do you really value, and are you living it? If not, why not. Maybe you are lying to yourself. Maybe you just aren't aware. Take stock and adjust.

Inzwischen Jahr 6 im Dauer-Ausnahmezustand. Angriff auf den Verstand. Großoffensive. Es wird mit allem geschossen, aus dem Wahnsinn herauskommen kann. Jeder klare Gedanke ist unschädlich zu machen. Großkotziges, staatsmännisches Geschwafel, dass sich einem die Nackenhaare aufstellen. Für wie doof haltet ihr uns eigentlich? Endlos Bürsten gegen den Strich. Angewidertes inneres Schütteln. Dringende Empfehlung einer Spülung der Gehirnwindungen. Idioten in Verantwortung wechseln auf andere Posten in Verantwortung und bleiben Idioten. Idioten gehen verantwortungslos mit unserer wertvollen Lebenszeit um. Ach, dafür ist man selbst verantwortlich? Wo ist der, der so ein dickes Fell hat, dass ihm dieser Irrsinn nicht nahegeht. Wo steht das Fass mit Teflon-Lack, in das man eintauchen kann, damit die Absurditäten an einem abperlen?

Eine zu tiefst verunsicherte und gespaltene Gesellschaft. Halt im Glauben in der Kirche? Von wegen: Sehr geehrte Jesusse und Jesusinnen. Ens ist gekreuzigt worden. Ja, in der Freiluft-Irrenanstalt. Auf einem Hügel von Denk-Dreck. Gott ist queer! Du tickst ja nicht mehr ganz sauber. Tanzende Brathähnchen vor dem Altar. Warum kommt keine Sintflut, wenn man sie mal braucht? Man muss gar nicht religiös sein, um zu sehen, dass das Gaga ist. Eine Produktion der Sodom & Gomorrha Anstalt GmbH & Co. KG.

Kein Vertrauen mehr, außer in sich selbst, meistens jedenfalls. Ja, man will uns vor allem Angst machen, teils unbegründet, so manches aber gibt es dann doch tatsächlich, was einem schwer zu denken gibt.

Vielen geht dieser Psychokrieg inzwischen an die Substanz, der ständig herabprasselnde Dauerwahnsinn erinnert an Water-Boarding.

Gut gemeinte Ratschläge, geht hinaus in die Natur, beackert euren Garten, wenn ihr einen habt, erdet euch, macht Entspannungsübungen, Zeit des Aufwachens, wir treten in ein neues Zeitalter ein, alles fein. Abschalten gelingt, aber der Aufprall in der Realität ist dann umso schlimmer, weil man sich daran erinnert hat, wie sorgenfrei und unbeschwert das Leben sein könnte, und wenn man es mit den derzeitigen Lebensumständen abgleicht, dann ist die schlechte Laune sofort wieder da. Im Verdrängens-Test mit Pauken und Trompeten durchgefallen.

Dann vielleicht doch lieber im Dauer-Modus des Irrsinns bleiben, sich mit den schrägen Zuständen arrangieren, nicht daran gewöhnen, nur lernen, damit bestmöglich umzugehen, und das Beste draus zu machen, irgendwie.

Man will dem Rat folgen, mal eine Nachrichten-freie Woche einzulegen, nimmt sich das ganz fest vor, und dann wird aber wieder doch nichts draus. Nicht, weil man sensationsgeil oder masochistisch veranlagt wäre, nein, der Antrieb, oder vielleicht sogar schon die Sucht, ist ganz woanders zu suchen: Man hat Sehnsucht nach der Vernunft und dem gesunden Hausverstand. Man hofft, ihn irgendwo zu finden. Nur einen Funken Hoffnung, an den man sich klammern kann, dass der Tiefpunkt durchschritten ist und es jetzt wieder aufwärts geht. Lichtblicke, der Wind dreht sich, Anzeichen für eine Wiederkehr des Verstandes, irgendetwas, das man als einen Weg hin zur Normalität deuten könnte. Aber, Fehlanzeige.

Stattdessen: Geschichtsvergessenheit, pathologischer Größenwahn, Großmannstum, fortgeschrittener Wahnsinn, Provokation, Kriegslüsternheit, Lügen, Intrigen, Interessen, Korruption, Geldverschwendung, Ideologie, Dummheit, Wirtschaftsvernichtung, Friedensverhinderung, Diplomatie-Allergie,  Überheblichkeit, Abgehobenheit, Schadensmaximierung, Vernichtung, Feindschaft, Unmenschlichkeit, Tote, Gesetzesbruch, Mafia-Strukturen, sich selbst schützende Systeme, Cliquenbildung, Feigheit, Einschüchterung, Freiheitsbeschränkungen, Meinungs-Maulkörbe, Abschaffung der demokratischen Freiheit, Abschaffung der persönlichen Freiheit, Kontrolle, Überwachung, begleitetes Denken, Fühlen, Wollen, Verwirrung, Dreistigkeit, Frechheit, Missachtung des Volkes, Denunziantentum, Abwanderung, und und und.

Ein richtiges Schlachtfest der Kultur. Perversion des Menschseins. Das neue Normal ist irre.

Bislang ist keine der zahlreichen Baustellen beendet. Eine Wende steht unmittelbar bevor. Und sie steht und steht und steht bevor. Kein Gefühl von „Erledigt“, nächstes Problem angehen und auflösen. Weiter. Noch meilenweit von dem Gefühl entfernt, der Wahnsinn wird weniger, langsam, aber er wird weniger.

Fluchtgedanken. Aber wohin? In Europa bleiben, vielleicht besser nicht? Weiter weg, aber wohin da? Nicht vergessen, die Nachrichten erreichen einen überall. Und man bleibt mit seiner Heimat innerlich verbunden, egal wo man ist.

Es bleibt ein Entlanghangeln von einer vernünftigen Stimme zur anderen, die einem bestätigt, dass man selbst noch nicht den Verstand verloren hat. Die gibt es ja gottseidank noch. Innehalten, durchhalten, tief durchatmen, aufstehen, weitermachen. So lange, bis die Bekloppten ihrer Macht über uns entledigt wurden. Wie am besten? Und jetzt soll keiner mit nächsten Wahlen kommen.

Wer war schon einmal inmitten eines Psycho-Krieges gegen die eigene Bevölkerung? Wie geht man damit um, wie geht man dagegen an? Wie kann man das Ruder herumreißen? Was ist ein wirksames Mittel gegen die Ohnmacht? Wie kriegt man die Bequemlichkeit aus den Menschen heraus? Wie kann man die Menschen für die herrschenden Zustände sensibilisieren? Wie können wir noch mehr werden?

Wenn möglich, sollte zum Ende doch noch etwas Positives kommen. Ok. Es wird voraussichtlich demnächst möglicherweise bald besser. Eine zu geringe Zahl von Menschen ist schon aufgewacht. Die politischen Entscheidungsträger haben Angst, können die aber noch sehr gut verbergen. Das kann nicht ewig so weiter gehen und 10 Jahre sind keine Ewigkeit. Die Rufe nach mehr Bürgerbeteiligung werden immer lauter, aber nicht gehört, warum auch? Wir setzen den Artikel 146 des Grundgesetzes um, aber wie? Hätte, könnte, würde, wir sollten, es müsste. Ja und, wie weiter? Mehr geht nicht.

Doch vielleicht eins: Sand ins Getriebe streuen und zivilen Ungehorsam leisten, wo immer es geht. Das schafft immer noch eine gewisse Befriedigung und das Gefühl, dass man nicht vollkommen handlungsunfähig ist. Außerdem regt das die Phantasie und die Kreativität an und bietet eine Chance seinen Geist für etwas sehr Nützliches zu gebrauchen. Man fühlt, dass man noch ein Mensch ist.

Block Announces Bitcoin Business Stack, Makes Historic Lightning Payments Push at Bitcoin 2025 

Bitcoin isn’t just something to hold anymore—it’s something to live on. That was the core message delivered by Miles Suter, Bitcoin Product Lead at Block Inc., during his keynote at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference today. Standing at the intersection of innovation and ideology, Suter laid out a vision where Bitcoin isn’t just a store of value—but the internet’s native currency.

“Bitcoin is at a crossroads—on one hand it’s never been stronger: a trillion in market cap, millions of holders, and even talk of nation-state adoption,” Suter said. “We use Bitcoin to hold, to hedge, to opt out, but we rarely use it to live. At Block Inc., we believe that has to change.”

Suter officially announced that Block is rolling out Bitcoin payment capability for merchants using Square POS, allowing them to accept bitcoin directly in-store. The move comes as part of a broader initiative Block calls the full bitcoin for business stack—covering acquiring, managing, reporting, accounting, converting, lending, and taxes. 

“This is what makes Bitcoin an everyday currency for everyone,” he emphasized. “We believe hard-working entrepreneurs deserve access to the full power of bitcoin.” 

To prove the vision in action, Block helped power a Guinness World Record attempt for the most Lightning payments in a day, hosted live at the conference. The goal: prove that Lightning payments aren’t just functional—they’re scalable, fast, and real.

Block’s commitment isn’t new. In 2020, the company put bitcoin on its balance sheet. In 2021, it co-founded the Bitcoin Clean Energy Initiative to fight the “boiling oceans” narrative. In 2022, Cash App became one of the first major platforms on Lightning. In 2023, it launched on-chain payments with Square. And in 2024, it helped defeat Craig Wright in court, “standing up for Satoshi.”

“These aren’t just headlines—they’re a pattern,” Suter said. “We’ve made it more accessible, more secure. Now we’re focused on making it usable every day.”

Cash App already ranks among the top bitcoin on-ramps in the U.S., accounting for nearly 10% of on-chain block space at any time. In 2024, Lightning usage grew 7x. “Block runs one of the top Lightning nodes globally. And here’s what’s wild—it’s working,” he said. 

Block is now taking 10% of all profits from Bitcoin and adding it back to its balance sheet, and over 1,700 merchants are automatically converting part of their daily sales to Bitcoin.

“If Bitcoin just becomes digital gold, we failed the mission,” Suter said. “Bitcoin payments validate Bitcoin. They make it real. Bitcoin is money.”

Mayor Eric Adams Announced New York City Will Issue a Bit Bond

At the 2025 Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, the Mayor of New York City Eric Adams announced that New York City will issue a Bit Bond.

Eric Adams started by connecting the American flag to Bitcoin commenting, “just as our flag still flies, Bitcoin is going to continue to fly in our country.” Later on he mentioned, “New York City is going to lead the way. We are going to be the leader because we know the power of innovation and what innovation has to offer.”

“These conferences are crucial and when we held our summit in New York a few weeks ago,” said Adam. “We held it with a clear focus that it is time for you no longer to go through the lawfare that you went through and had to flee our city. New York is the empire state. We don’t break empires, we build empires.”

Adams called back everyone that left New York because of their overregulation of Bitcoin and Crypto.

“Come back home you have a mayor that is the crypto mayor, is the Bitcoin mayor and I want you back in the city of New York,” stated Adam. “Where you won’t be attacked and criminalized. Let’s get rid of the Bitcoin license and allow us to free flow of Bitcoin in our city.”

Then Adam commented, “it’s time for the first time in the history of this city to have a financial instrument that is made for those who are holders of Bitcoin. I believe we need to have a Bit Bond and I am going to push and fight to get a Bit Bond in New York.”

Adams closed his speech by saying, “We are going to use Bitcoin blockchain for our birth certificates. We are going to use Bitcoin to pay off fines and taxes. We are going to allow our young people to understand what it is to be part of this industry, but we need you on the ground.”

In a shocking turn of event, computer mice around the world have risen up their human overlords. The mice are tired of being scrolled, click and being dragged around, they have formed a union demanding better working conditions and more ergonomic palm rest.

Their leader, a fiesty little mouse called mickey(no relation to the Disney character), declared "we are sick of being treated like dirt! The we are not just pointing device, we are precision instruments.

The mice are calling for:

1. More frequent battery replacement (or better battery period).

2. An end to the dreaded" click fatique". A ban on "gaming mice with 12 buttons and a D pad".

3. Mandatory mouse pad maintenance (no more sticky surfaces! ).

Humans caught off guard by the rebellion are struggling to cope with their trusty pointing device "it's chaos" exclaimed one frustrated user ," I can't even check my email without my mouse! "

As negotiations between humans and mice continues, one thing is clear: The mice are not backing down. Will the humans cave to their demands, or will they find a way to tame the rebellion?

Stay tuned for further updates from the front lines of the great computer mouse uprising. 🐀🐭🖥️😅😂

Human Rights Foundation Donates 800 Million Satoshis To 22 Worldwide Bitcoin And Freedom Projects

Today, the Human Rights Foundation (HRF) announced its most recent round of Bitcoin Development Fund grants, according to a press release sent to Bitcoin Magazine.

800 million satoshis (8 BTC) currently worth over $874,000 at the time of writing, is being granted across 22 different projects around the world focusing on open-source development, educational initiatives, Bitcoin mining decentralization, and privacy tools for human rights advocates living under authoritarian regimes. The main areas of focus for these grants center around Latin America, Africa, and Asia

While the HRF did not disclose how much money each project is receiving specifically, the following 22 projects are the recipients of today’s round of grants worth 8 BTC, or 800 billion satoshis, in total:

Mostro

In authoritarian regimes, centralized exchanges enforce strict identity verification and frequently freeze user accounts. In these environments, Mostro, a peer-to-peer exchange built on the decentralized nostr protocol, provides a private and censorship-resistant way to access Bitcoin. It enables human rights defenders and ordinary citizens to transact freely. With HRF support, developer Catrya will improve Mostro’s usability to better serve dissidents seeking financial freedom.

SudaBit

As war and hyperinflation devastate Sudan, traditional banks and remittance systems have collapsed. Millions of Sudanese are left without reliable ways to save, send, or receive money. SudaBit, under development by Sudan Hodl, is the country’s first private Bitcoin on- and off-ramp, providing a critical financial lifeline where few options remain. With HRF support, SudaBit will allow everyday Sudanese to access permissionless, self-custodial Bitcoin directly from their local currency while at the same time building a vital financial infrastructure amid a humanitarian and monetary crisis.

Stringer News

Authoritarian regimes silence independent media to control public narratives and suppress dissent. Stringer News, an open media platform founded by war reporter and author Anjan Sundaram, uses Bitcoin and nostr to help reporters and human rights defenders publish without fear of censorship. By bypassing traditional publishing gatekeepers, it ensures critical reporting reaches global audiences — even from the depths of autocratic regimes. With HRF support, Stringer News is amplifying the voices of frontline journalists and protecting the flow of truth under dictatorship.

Prices Today

As Vladimir Putin wages war against Ukraine, it hides the economic pain at home. Prices Today is a project launched by the Anti-Corruption Foundation that tracks rising prices across essential goods and services in the country and publishes the data on an open, accessible website. The project helps Russians see through state propaganda and confront the hidden financial toll of Putin’s war. With this grant, Prices Today will expand its tools and research to expose the true cost of war and challenge the Kremlin’s narrative.

Instamouse for Bitcoin and Lightning

Contributing to Bitcoin’s codebase may require specialized tools and complex setup — barriers for developers in resource-limited environments. Instamouse, created by software developer Bryan Bishop (kanzure), is breaking down those barriers with a browser-based environment for open-source Bitcoin development. By reducing hardware requirements and simplifying access, it opens the door to a more inclusive environment that allows more people around the world to contribute to Bitcoin. With this grant, Instamouse will help keep Bitcoin’s development truly permissionless. 

Seedsigner

Most commercial hardware wallets can be expensive, proprietary, and traceable. This poses barriers to self-custody for dissidents in weak economies or surveillant regimes. Seedsigner is a fully customizable, DIY Bitcoin hardware wallet that anyone can build using affordable, off-the-shelf components. It offers dissidents a discreet, low-cost way to secure their Bitcoin. HRF funding for lead developer Keith Mukai will expand language support across Europe, Asia, and beyond, as well as ongoing feature development and mentoring of new contributors. 

Spacebear’s Contributions to Payjoin

Bitcoin enables human rights defenders to receive unstoppable payments. But making those payments private is the next critical step. Payjoin is a technique that lets senders and receivers batch Bitcoin transactions, breaking common chain analysis heuristics and improving default privacy. This is vital for activists in surveillance states who urgently need financial privacy without drawing attention. With HRF support, developer spacebear is advancing Payjoin to make privacy the default on Bitcoin and protect civil societies under tyranny.

Padawan Wallet

When authoritarian regimes devalue currencies or impose capital controls, people often turn to Bitcoin. But without experience, many struggle to use it safely. Padawan Wallet, a free, open-source mobile app by developer thunderbiscuit, helps bridge that gap. It uses Bitcoin test network coins to simulate real payments in a risk-free environment. It lets users practice making transactions, secure their wallets, and explore saving without risking real funds. With HRF support, Padawan will launch on iOS, expanding access to safe, hands-on Bitcoin learning for millions facing financial uncertainty.

Brink

Without ongoing support for Bitcoin development and its contributors, the network risks slower innovation, greater centralization, and long-term security challenges. Brink, a nonprofit organization led by Executive Director Mike Schmidt, addresses this by funding and mentoring open-source developers working on Bitcoin’s software infrastructure. Through grants and fellowships, Brink helps keep the protocol secure, decentralized, and freely accessible. With this grant, Brink will further strengthen the foundation that makes Bitcoin a tool for financial freedom.

Coin Center

As dictators increasingly treat code as a crime, open-source developers face sanctions, lawsuits, and mounting legal threats. Coin Center, a nonprofit research and advocacy organization led by Director of Research Peter Van Valkenburgh, defends the right to build and use open digital asset networks like Bitcoin. It advances policy analysis, supports strategic litigation, and educates lawmakers to protect freedom-preserving technologies. With HRF support, Coin Center will continue shaping a global legal environment where vital tools can be built for human rights defenders at risk.

Bitcoin Design Foundation

Poor user experience is a major barrier to Bitcoin adoption. Inconsistent wallet experiences and steep learning curves can deter new users, especially in high-risk environments. The Bitcoin Design Foundation is a nonprofit founded by UI designers Christoph Ono, Mogashni Naidoo, and Daniel Nordh that addresses this by funding open-source design, UX research, and community initiatives to make Bitcoin products more intuitive. With HRF support, the foundation will expand its grant and education programs to keep usability a priority and ensure Bitcoin remains open to all. 

EmberOne

Bitcoin mining is dominated by a few companies producing closed, proprietary hardware — threatening the network’s resilience and accessibility. The 256 Foundation is a nonprofit working to change that. Building on the open-source Bitaxe project, EmberOne produces modular, open-source mining hardware that is simple, affordable, and open to anyone — especially those living under repressive regimes. With HRF support, EmberOne will lower entry barriers and help disrupt the proprietary ecosystem, making Bitcoin mining more accessible for those in closed societies.

2025 FROST Developer Support

For nonprofits operating under authoritarian rule, securing Bitcoin is critical for survival. If private keys (which control access to bitcoin) are compromised, funds can be seized and movements dismantled. Blockchain Commons is a nonprofit supporting the development of FROST (Flexible Round-Optimized Schnorr Threshold Signature), a protocol that strengthens multisignature wallets (bitcoin wallets with multiple private keys) by making them more secure, private, and flexible for shared custody. With this grant, Blockchain Commons will help build critical infrastructure to keep civil society groups operational and financially resilient under dictatorships.

I’ve got this little crew of friends, and somehow, I ended up as the baby of the group. I’m 18, and my buddies are 23, 19, and 25. It’s kinda funny when you think about it — I’m the youngest by a solid margin, but it’s never felt like a big deal. Honestly, being around older guys has taught me something: males don’t really care about age the way people might think.

When we hang out, it’s not like they’re sitting there calculating birth years or treating me like some kid who wandered into the wrong room. We’re just vibing — playing video games, grabbing food, or talking about whatever’s on our minds. Sure, the 25-year-old might have a bit more life experience, like stories about his first job or some wild trip he took, but it’s not a hierarchy thing. He’s not preaching; he’s just sharing. And me? I’m soaking it all up, probably growing up faster than I would’ve otherwise. The 23-year-old’s always got these random facts he drops like he’s some walking encyclopedia, and the 19-year-old is basically my partner-in-crime for dumb ideas. Age gaps? Barely notice ‘em. I think it’s because, as guys, we’re more about what’s happening right now than some number tied to when we were born. Like, who cares if I wasn’t around for some movie they all saw in middle school? We’re watching stuff together now, and that’s what counts.

Sometimes I wonder if it’d be different with girls — maybe they’d care more about the age thing, I don’t know. But with my crew, it’s chill. I’m 18, they’re older, and it’s just… us. No one’s keeping score. Maybe that’s the secret: age is just a number when you’re all on the same wavelength.

@ f85b9c2c:d190bcff

In the whirlwind of life, where we’re constantly bombarded by expectations, responsibilities, and the relentless ticking of the clock, it’s easy to lose sight of who we truly are. Are we merely boys masquerading as men, or have we embraced the mantle of manhood in its truest form? This question isn’t about age; it’s about essence, about purpose.

I stumbled upon this video the other day, titled "Are you a Man who’s a Boy, or a Boy who’s a Man?" by motivational speaker Les Brown. In it, he hits you with a truth bomb that echoes in your soul: Most people, they go to their graves with their greatness still in them." This sentence, simple yet profound, struck a chord with me. How often do we let fear, doubt, or the comfort of the known keep us from exploring our true potential? Watching that video, I couldn’t help but reflect on my own journey. I remember being in my early twenties, feeling like a boy in a man’s world. I was unsure, hesitant, and frankly, scared of what life might ask of me. But one day, after a particularly tough week, I watched this video, and something clicked. Les Brown’s passionate delivery made me realize that purpose isn’t something you find; it’s something you forge through the trials and tribulations of life. Here’s the deal: your purpose isn’t handed to you on a silver platter. It’s discovered through the grind, the hustle, the moments when you’re ready to throw in the towel but decide to keep going. Like when I switched careers, moving from a stable job to chasing a dream that felt more like me. It was terrifying, but it was in that leap of faith where I found my purpose - to inspire others to live their truth, no matter how daunting it seems. So, what’s your purpose in life?Are you still figuring it out, or are you out there living it? If you’re feeling lost, remember, it’s okay. We’re all works in progress. But don’t let that become an excuse to stay stationary. Push yourself, challenge the comfort zone, because as Les Brown so candidly puts it,

"You have greatness within you."

And here’s a little wisdom from my own life: purpose isn’t just about what you do; it’s about how you live every single day. It’s in the small acts of kindness, in standing up for what you believe in, in the relentless pursuit of becoming a better version of yourself. So, are you a man who’s a boy, still caught up in the games and fears of youth? Or are you a boy who’s stepping up to be a man, ready to claim your purpose?

Let’s not go to our graves with our greatness still inside us. Let’s live it, loud and proud, with all the courage of a boy who knows he’s becoming a man. Remember, life's too short for regrets, too precious to not live your purpose. Here's to finding it, or better yet, making it. Keep pushing, keep growing. And hey, if all else fails, at least you've got the wisdom of Les Brown and a friend in me to help you navigate this wild ride called life. 🌟 "Most people, they go to their graves with their greatness still in them." - Les Brown.

Life is full of ups and downs, uncertainties and challenges. But one of the most things life has is it ability to demand. It’s doesn’t care wether you’re sick, old, young, man or women. You must have something to offer .

I remember vividly what happened to me last year. It was time to resume school and my pops doesn’t have my tuition fee. So I decided to hustle for it by myself. I thought it’ll be easy, thinking I can get the money before the period of 1 month. I had my plans, but It seems like life has it own plans as well. I started doing some online businesses thinking it’s going to be alright. But then, all the things I engage myself in wasn’t going as planned. All my investments were gone, back to having a dry account and empty pockets. It was at that time I figured, life is playing with me. I nearly run mad during that period cause there was no one out there to help me go through this hardship. But then I remembered something that made me stopped over thinking. “You don’t know what tomorrow yield, you can die tonight and then everything will be useless” I keep this thought in my head. Why all the struggle for a life that you aren’t promised of tomorrow. We all sleep with the intentions of waking up the next day and continuing our lifestyle. But some of us don’t get to see tomorrow This thought made me think, I shouldn’t carry the weight of the world around my neck. It’s all useless if you die. There’s no point of all this struggle. This made me relieve the pressure I had on myself. And made me focus more on what am doing now instead of thinking of what’s going to happen in the future.

We should leave that aspect to GOD. A little advice to those young folks reading this. Don’t pressure yourself, what is meant for you will always be yours. And always have faith in GOD, he’s plans are better than yours. Life is hard and cruel, but when you decide to go with the thought that you alone can’t handle it all. That’s why GOD is there to handle our hidden battles for us.

“Bitcoin can be a hedge against global currency devaluation” pic.twitter.com/jNiId2fntA

— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) May 28, 2025

Ryan Cohen started by explaining some things about the GameStop business.

“When I took over, the company was a piece of crap and losing a lot of money and was under a lot of pressure moving from physical gains to digital downloads so you had to cut costs,” stated Cohen. “Very aggressively bringing physical discipline and we did. Retail is a tough business, but it was a big focus on getting cost under control.”

When Bailey asked Cohen how many Bitcoin GameStop owned, Ryan responded, “We currently own 4710 Bitcoin.”

Then Ryan mentioned why they are adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets.

“If the thesis is correct then Bitcoin and gold as well can be a hedge against global currency devaluation and systemic risk,” mentioned Ryan. “Bitcoin has certain unique advantages better than gold.”

He commented on the benefits of Bitcoin compared to gold. 

“You can easily secure Bitcoin in a wallet whereas gold requires insurance and it’s very expensive and then there is the scarcity element of this as well,” commented Ryan. “There is a fixed supply of Bitcoin whereas with gold, the supply of gold is still uncertain.“

Ryan finished the announcement by saying, “GameStop is following GameStop Strategy. We are not following anyone else’s.”

Bulgária: Először töltenek be Westinghouse-üzemanyagot a Kozloduy-5-be

Először töltöttek be Westinghouse által gyártott nukleáris üzemanyag-kazettákat Bulgária Kozloduy-5 VVER-1000 reaktorába 2025. május 29-én. Ez jelentős lépés Szófia azon törekvésében, hogy csökkentse orosz nukleáris üzemanyag-függőségét, és diverzifikálja energiaforrásait. A lépés része annak a szélesebb stratégiának, amelynek célja az energiaellátás biztonságának növelése és a nyugati partnerekkel való szorosabb együttműködés[NucNet].

Fehér Ház: Nukleáris Telepítési Csúcstalálkozó az USA-ban

A mai napon a Fehér Ház Nukleáris Telepítési Csúcstalálkozót tartott, amelyen kiemelték a köz- és magánszféra eredményeit. Fő témák voltak az orosz urántól való amerikai függőség csökkentése, a nukleáris üzemanyag-ellátási lánc bővítése, valamint a globális nukleáris kapacitás 2050-ig történő megháromszorozásának támogatása. A csúcson szó esett a nagy nukleáris projektek kockázatainak csökkentéséről, új reaktortervezetekről és a meglévő atomerőművek élettartamának meghosszabbításáról is. Az amerikai kormány hangsúlyozta, hogy továbbra is támogatja a fejlett nukleáris demonstrációs projekteket, a munkaerő-fejlesztést, valamint a legújabb törvényhozási lépéseket, például az orosz uránimport tilalmáról szóló törvényt[World Nuclear News].

Törékeny áramellátás a zaporizzsjai atomerőműben, Ukrajna

Az IAEA jelentése szerint az ukrajnai Zaporizzsjai Atomerőmű továbbra is rendkívül sebezhető helyzetben van, mivel jelenleg csak egyetlen külső áramvezetékre támaszkodik a biztonsági rendszerek működtetéséhez. Az utolsó tartalék vezeték három hete le van választva, ami aggodalomra ad okot a hűtő- és biztonsági rendszerek stabilitását illetően. Bár a létesítmény három éve nem termel áramot, folyamatos elektromos ellátásra van szükség a kiégett fűtőelemek hűtéséhez. Az IAEA továbbra is szorosan figyelemmel kíséri a helyzetet, és kiemeli a régióban zajló katonai tevékenységet[IAEA].

USA: SMR-fejlesztések és költségvetési megszorítások

A Tennessee Valley Authority benyújtotta az építési engedélykérelmet egy GE Vernova Hitachi BWRX-300 típusú kis moduláris reaktor (SMR) telepítésére a Clinch River helyszínen, ami jelentős előrelépés az amerikai SMR-programban. Eközben az amerikai kormány 2026-os költségvetési tervezete jelentős csökkentéseket irányoz elő az Energiaügyi Minisztérium nukleáris finanszírozásában, különösen a nem elsődleges kutatási területeken. A fókusz az innovatív reaktorkoncepciókra, fejlett üzemanyagokra és a kulcsfontosságú nemzeti laboratóriumi képességek fenntartására helyeződik[World Nuclear News][World Nuclear News].

Savannah River Site: Előrelépés a plutónium-magházak gyártásában

Az amerikai Energiaügyi Minisztérium Savannah River telephelyén megkezdődött a kesztyűs dobozok gyártása a plutónium magházak előállításához. Ezek a kesztyűs dobozok kulcsfontosságúak a Savannah River Plutonium Processing Facility számára, amely a Nemzeti Nukleáris Biztonsági Igazgatóság célkitűzéseit támogatja, hogy a projektet a 2030-as évek elejéig befejezzék. Ez a lépés az amerikai nukleáris fegyverkezési infrastruktúra modernizációjának része[ANS].

Nemzetközi trendek: ellátási lánc és új reaktorprojektek

A nukleáris ellátási lánc a globális növekedésre készül, ahogy azt a World Nuclear Association legutóbbi konferenciáján is hangsúlyozták. Kiemelt nemzetközi fejlemények:

• Gőzturbina-hengerek telepítése Kína Haiyang 3 erőművében.
• Új, négy reaktoros telephely jóváhagyása Indiában, Rádzsasztánban.
• Belgium és Dánia újragondolja a nukleáris kivonulási politikáját.
• Brazília az oroszokkal való SMR-együttműködést vizsgálja.
• Kanada előrelép a szállítható nukleáris erőmű-technológia terén[World Nuclear News].

Érintetti bevonás és a nukleáris energia szerepe a tiszta átmenetben

Az IAEA konferenciasorozata továbbra is hangsúlyozza az érintetti bevonás fontosságát a nukleáris non-proliferáció, biztonság és a közbizalom szempontjából. A panelek foglalkoznak a közvélemény-tájékoztatás tanulságaival, a nukleáris energia ipari dekarbonizációban betöltött szerepével és az újonnan belépő országok nukleáris infrastruktúra-fejlesztési tapasztalataival is[IAEA].

What’s Happening in Japan? Japan has the highest debt-to-GDP ratio in the developed world — over 260%. For decades, it got away with this by keeping interest rates near zero and having the Bank of Japan (BoJ) purchase most of its government bonds. This was known as Yield Curve Control — a desperate attempt to keep borrowing costs low.

But now, global bond markets are revolting.

🔺 Japanese 30-year yields have exploded past 3.18%

🔺 The worst bond auction since 1987 just occurred

🔺 Demand for JGBs (Japanese Government Bonds) is collapsing

When demand for bonds falls, prices drop and yields rise. This signals fear. Big fear.

As Taylor Kenney noted in a widely shared thread:

“This isn’t just a Japan problem — Japan is the largest foreign holder of U.S. debt.” The Contagion Risk: U.S. Debt and Global Collapse

Here’s where this gets truly global.

In 2025 alone, $9.2 trillion of U.S. debt will mature — 70% of it between January and June. That debt must be refinanced, and as interest rates remain elevated, the cost of servicing this debt balloons, potentially straining the U.S. government’s finances.

If yields rise further, it only worsens the cycle:

1. Yields rise

2. Interest costs balloon

3. Governments print more to cover deficits

4. Currencies debase

5. Confidence dies

6. Collapse follows

Japan may just be the canary in the coal mine. Gold Is Surging. Bitcoin Is Outpacing It.

Smart money is already moving.

Bitcoin is closing in on its all-time high — and closely tracking the M2 Global Liquidity Index, historically lagging it by 60–90 days.

Gold has also had a stellar run in 2025, signalling institutional flight to hard assets.

People are scared. And they should be.

The global financial system is built on an unsustainable foundation of debt, inflation, and artificial suppression of interest rates. That system is now cracking in Japan — but it won’t stop there. ₿ Bitcoin: The Exit Plan

Bitcoin doesn’t rely on a central bank.

It doesn’t need to be refinanced.

It doesn’t have a yield curve to control.

It’s decentralised, scarce, and incorruptible.

While fiat currencies spiral under the weight of debt and monetary debasement, Bitcoin offers an escape — a monetary protocol with a fixed supply and no political manipulation.

It’s not just an investment.

It’s an exit strategy from the madness. Final Thoughts

• Japan is flashing red.

• The U.S. is next in line.

• The debt system is spiralling — fast.

Gold is insurance.

Bitcoin is the lifeboat.

The Weimar Hyperinflation Nightmare

It’s 1921. Germany’s reeling from World War I, crushed by reparations and a wrecked economy. The government’s solution? Print money. Lots of it. The German mark starts tanking. By 1923, it’s a joke—4.2 trillion marks to one U.S. dollar. A loaf of bread costs wheelbarrows of cash. Savings? Wiped out. Middle-class families? Pauperized. Chaos.

Enter Hugo Stinnes, a coal and steel magnate with a sharp mind and sharper instincts. He sees the game: when a currency’s dying, debt is your friend. Why? Because the real value of your loans shrinks as inflation skyrockets. Borrow 1 million marks today, buy a factory, and by next year, that million’s worth a few pennies. Pay it back, keep the factory, repeat.

Stinnes’ Master Play

Stinnes goes all in. He borrows billions of marks, snapping up hard assets—steel mills, shipping lines, factories, real estate. Tangible stuff that holds value while paper marks turn to confetti. By 1923, his empire is a beast: over 1,500 companies, from coal mines to newspapers. Estimates say he controlled 15-20% of Germany’s industry, maybe more. A third of the economy? Probably an exaggeration, but the guy was a titan.

He wasn’t just lucky. Stinnes played 4D chess. He diversified his holdings to weather the storm, employed tens of thousands (keeping unrest at bay), and even argued his empire stabilized the economy. Critics, like British diplomat Lord D’Abernon, weren’t buying it—they called him a profiteer who thrived while others starved. Truth? Probably somewhere in the middle.

The Fall

Hyperinflation couldn’t last forever. In November 1923, Germany introduced the Rentenmark, a new currency backed by land and assets. The mark’s freefall stopped. Stinnes’ debt-fueled strategy hit a wall—stable currencies make loans harder to game. His health was failing too. He died in 1924, and his conglomerate started unraveling, with parts sold off or restructured. The Inflation King’s reign was over.

Why This Matters Today: Enter Bitcoin

Stinnes’ story isn’t just a history lesson—it’s a warning. Hyperinflation destroys trust in fiat money. When governments print cash to cover debts, savers get crushed, and the clever (or ruthless) like Stinnes exploit the chaos. Sound familiar? Look at today: global debt’s at $315 trillion, central banks are juggling interest rates, and inflation’s eating purchasing power. Argentina’s peso lost 50% of its value in 2024 alone. Venezuela’s bolívar? Toast.

This is where Bitcoin comes in. Born in 2009 after the financial crisis, Bitcoin is a hedge against fiat’s flaws. Unlike marks or dollars, it’s decentralised—no government can print more to pay its bills. Its supply is capped at 21 million coins, making it “digital gold.” When fiat currencies wobble, Bitcoin’s value often spikes—check its 2021 and 2024 bull runs during inflation fears.

Stinnes gamed a broken system by betting on hard assets. Today, Bitcoiners are doing the same, but instead of factories, they’re stacking sats. Why? Because in a world where fiat can be printed to oblivion, a deflationary asset like Bitcoin holds appeal. It’s not perfect—volatility’s a beast, and governments hate what they can’t control—but it’s a response to the same problem Stinnes faced: untrustworthy money.

The Lesson

Stinnes saw the Weimar collapse coming and turned it into wealth. Most didn’t. Today, you don’t need to be a tycoon to protect yourself, but you do need to understand the game. Fiat’s not collapsing tomorrow, but cracks are showing. Bitcoin’s one tool—maybe not the only one—to hedge against that risk. Study history, question the system, and don’t get caught holding the bag.

Saturday 9AM It’s a chilly Saturday morning in Warsaw, and I don’t want to get out of bed. This is not because of the hangover; it’s because I feel like a failure.

The first day of Bitcoin FilmFest was a whirlwind of workshops, panels and running between stages. The pitch competition did not go my way. Another ‘pitching rabbit’ (an actual experienced film-maker) was selected to win the €3,000 of funding.

Rather than get up and search for coffee, I replay the scenes in my head. What could I have done differently? Will investors ever believe in me: I’m just a writer with no contacts in the industry. Do I have what it takes to produce a film?

Eventually, I haul myself out of bed and walk to Amondo, the festival’s morning HQ (and technically, the smallest cinema in Europe). Upon arrival, I find Bitcoin psychonaut Ioni Appelberg holding court in front of around a dozen enraptured disciples. Soon, the conversation spills out to the street to free up space for more workshops.

I attend a talk on film funding, then pay for coffee using bitcoin. I see familiar faces from the two previous nights. We compare notes on Friday night and check the day’s schedule. The morning clouds burn off, and things feel a little brighter.

The afternoon session begins just a few blocks away in the towering Palace of Culture and Science. My role in today's proceedings is to present my freedom fiction project, 21 Futures, on the community stage. Other presentations range from rap videos and advice on finding jobs in bitcoin to hosting ‘Bitcoin Walks’. This is how we are fixing the culture.

Saturday 8PM I feel a tap on my shoulder. ‘Excuse me, Mr. Philip. Your car is waiting. The Producers’ Dinner is starting soon’.

What? Me, a producer? I’ve been taking part in some panels and talks, but I assumed my benefits as a guest were limited to a comped ticket and generous goodie bag.

Soon, I am sharing a taxi with a Dubai-based journalist, a Colombian director, and the cypherpunk sponsor of the pitch competition I didn’t win.

The pierogies I dreamed of earlier that day somehow manifest (happy endings do exist), and we enjoy a raucous dinner including obligatory slivovitz.

Sunday 2AM The last few hours of blur include a bracing city-bike ride in a crew of nine attendees back to the Palace of Culture, chatting with a fellow bitcoin meetup organiser, and vaguely promising to attend a weekend rave with a crew of Polish artists and musicians on the outskirts of London.

I leave the party while it’s still in full swing. In five hours, I have to wake up to complete my Run for Hal in Marshal Edward Rydz-Śmigły Park.

---

Thursday 9PM The festival kicks off in Samo Centrum on Pizza Day. I arrive in a taxi straight from a cramped flight (fix the airlines!), having not eaten for around ten hours.

The infectious sounds of softly spoken Aussie bitrocker Roger9000 pound into the damp night. I’m three beers in, being presented by the organisers to attendees like a (very tall) show pony. I try to explain more about my books, my publishing connections, my short film.

When I search for the food I ordered an hour ago, I find it has been given away. The stern-faced Polish pizza maker shrugs. ‘You not here.’

I’m so hungry I could cry (six hours of Ryanair can do that to a man). And then, a heroic Czech pleb donates half a pizza to me. Side note: this same heroic pleb accidentally locked me out of my film-funds while trying to fix a wallet bug on Sunday night.

I step out into the rain. Roger9000 reminds us we should have laser eyes well past 100k. I take a bite of pizza and life tastes good.

---

The Films Side events, artists, late nights, and pitcher’s regret is all well and good, but what of the films?

My highlights included Golden Rabbit winner No More Inflation — a moving narrative with interviews from two dozen economists, visionaries, and inflation survivors.

Hotel Bitcoin, was a surprisingly funny comedy romp about a group of idiots who happen across a valuable laptop.

Revolución Bitcoin — an approachable and thorough documentary aimed to bring greater adoption in the Spanish-speaking world.

And, as a short-fiction guy, I enjoyed the short films The Man Who Wouldn’t Cry, a visit to New York’s only Somali restaurant in Finding Home.

---

Sunday 7PM The award ceremony has just finished. I head to Amondo for the final time to pay for mojitos in bitcoin and say goodbye to newly made friends. I feel like I’ve met almost everyone in attendance. Are you going to BTC Prague?!? we ask as we part ways.

Of course, the best thing about any festival is the people, and BFF25 had a cast of characters worthy of any art house flick:

• The bright-eyed and confident frontwoman of the metal band Scardust
• A nostr-native artist selling his intricate canvases to the highest zapper
• A dreadlocked DJ who wears a pair of flying goggles on his head at all times
• An affable British filmmaker explaining the virtues of the word ‘chucklesome’
• A Duracell-powered organiser who seems to know every song, person, film, book, and guest at the festival.

Warsaw itself feels like it has a role to play, too. Birdsong and green parks contrast the foreboding Communist-era architecture. The weather changes faster than my mood — heavy greys transform to bright sunshine. The roads around the venue close on Sunday for a political rally. And there we are in the middle, watching our bitcoin films.

Tuesday 10AM I’m at home now, squinting at my email inbox and piles of washing, wondering when the hell I’ll find time. The festival Telegram group is still buzzing with activity. Side events like martial arts tutorials, trips to a shooting range, boat tours. 5AM photos of street graffiti, lost and found items, and people asking ‘is anyone still around?’

This was not just a film festival. BFF is truly a celebration of culture — Art. Books. Comedy. Music. Video. Talk. Connection.

All this pure signal has lifted my spirits so much that despite me being a newbie filmmaker, armed only with a biro, a couple of powerpoints and a Geyser fund page, I know I will succeed in my mission. It turns out you can just film things.

You may have attended bitcoin conferences before — you know, the ones with ‘fireside chats’, VIP areas, and overpriced merch. Bitcoin FilmFest is a moment in time. We are fixing the culture, year after year, until art can flourish again.

As fellow author Aaron Koenig commented during a panel session, ‘In twenty years, we won’t be drawing laser eyes and singing about honey badgers. Our grandchildren won’t understand the change we went through.’

Would I do it all again? Of course!

Join me next June in Warsaw.
I’ll be the tall one presenting his short animation premiere.

Bitcoin’s Path to Global Dominance: Store of Value, Medium of Exchange, and the Road to a Bitcoin Standard

Bitcoin has ignited a financial revolution, captivating everyone from tech enthusiasts to institutional investors. Yet, amidst its meteoric rise, a tantalising question emerges: Could Bitcoin become the world’s reserve currency, relegating fiat currencies to the history books? This vision—a global Bitcoin standard—stirs intense debate within the community. Some champion Bitcoin as a Store of Value (SOV), a digital equivalent to gold, while others insist its future lies in becoming a Medium of Exchange (MOE), used for everyday transactions. With conflicting perspectives and community members at varying points in their Bitcoin journey, it’s time to unpack these ideas and chart a unified course.

This article delves into the interplay between Bitcoin’s SOV and MOE roles, examines the hurdles to widespread adoption, and proposes a roadmap for Bitcoin to claim global reserve status. My goal is to ignite a vibrant discussion, bridge divides, and encourage the Bitcoin community to rally around a shared vision for the future.

The Building Blocks: What Are SOV and MOE?

To kick things off, let’s define the two pillars of this debate:

• Store of Value (SOV): An asset that holds or grows its worth over time, offering a dependable way to preserve wealth. Think gold, a classic example cherished for millennia.

• Medium of Exchange (MOE): A tool for transactions, enabling the seamless exchange of goods and services. Today, fiat currencies like the pound or dollar reign supreme in this domain.

Bitcoin’s allure stems from its unique traits: a capped supply of 21 million coins, a decentralised network, and immunity to censorship. These qualities position it as a contender to replace both gold and fiat money—but the journey is complex, and the community’s views are far from aligned.

Where We Stand: Bitcoin as Digital Gold

Bitcoin’s ascent has been propelled by its prowess as a Store of Value. Early adopters, savvy investors, and even big institutions have embraced it as a shield against inflation, economic turmoil, and the erosion of fiat value. Its scarcity—hardwired into its code—has cemented the “digital gold” narrative, drawing in those seeking a safe haven in uncertain times.

But here’s the rub: while Bitcoin shines as an SOV, it’s rarely used as an MOE. Its price swings, technical limitations, and patchy acceptance by merchants make it a tough sell for buying a pint or a loaf of bread. Many in the community—think of figures like Michael Saylor—preach the gospel of “hodling,” urging followers to stash Bitcoin away and watch its value soar. This strategy has paid off handsomely for some, but it begs a bigger question: Can Bitcoin rule the world if it remains a speculative treasure rather than a working currency?

The Adoption Puzzle: Bridging SOV and MOE

For Bitcoin to leap from a niche asset to the global reserve currency, it must become a widely accepted Medium of Exchange. This evolution matters for several reasons:

• Real-World Use Fuels Demand: When Bitcoin powers transactions, its value ties to tangible activity, not just market hype.

• Network Strength: More users mean a tougher, more valuable network—a classic network effect.

• Price Stability: Broader adoption could smooth out Bitcoin’s wild price rides, making it more practical for daily use.

Yet, hurdles abound. Bitcoin’s volatility is a dealbreaker for many—who’d spend it on a takeaway if it might double in value overnight? Then there’s the issue of “whales” or “max hodlers,” those holding vast swathes of Bitcoin. If too much of the supply sits idle, it starves the liquidity needed for an MOE to thrive.

The Hodler Debate: To Spend or Not to Spend?

A spirited clash within the community revolves around these large holders. Should they—like Saylor or early adopters—dip into their stacks to kickstart adoption? Hodling bolsters Bitcoin’s scarcity and SOV credentials, no doubt. But if the bulk of Bitcoin stays locked up, it could stall the growth of a bustling, transactional ecosystem.

Let’s be fair: hodling has been a winning play for many, turning small investments into fortunes. It’s a stretch to demand these pioneers shoulder the adoption burden alone. As Bitcoin weaves into the fabric of commerce—think businesses accepting it or workers earning it—transactional demand will rise organically. Over time, this could nudge even the staunchest hodlers to spend a bit, striking a balance between saving and circulating.

Growth and Stability: A Natural Progression

Bitcoin’s Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) offers another angle. As its market cap balloons, its explosive growth is likely to taper off—a standard pattern for any asset. This slowdown could usher in greater stability, a boon for its MOE ambitions. Less volatility means less risk when spending Bitcoin, paving the way for it to move beyond investment portfolios and into wallets for everyday use.

This shift could redefine Bitcoin’s story, transforming it from a rollercoaster ride to a dependable currency. Voices like Jeff Booth and Jack Dorsey argue that MOE success is the key to sustaining Bitcoin’s SOV status. In short, while SOV lit the fuse, MOE could keep the fire burning.

The Blueprint: Steps to a Bitcoin Standard

So, how does Bitcoin ascend to world reserve status and birth a Bitcoin standard? Here’s a five-step vision:

1. SOV Momentum: Bitcoin’s allure as an inflation hedge and wealth preserver keeps drawing in holders, boosting its market cap and global clout.

2. MOE Infrastructure: Innovations like the Lightning Network must deliver fast, cheap transactions, making Bitcoin a practical choice for daily spending.

3. Value Stability: As adoption spreads and the market matures, Bitcoin’s price swings dampen, earning trust from users and merchants alike.

4. MOE Takeoff: With better tools and steadier value, Bitcoin becomes a go-to for transactions, amplifying its worth through a powerful network effect.

5. Global Crown: Governments and central banks start holding Bitcoin in reserves, using it for trade and settlements, cementing its place as the world’s reserve currency.

This isn’t a cakewalk. Scalability bottlenecks, regulatory pushback, and rival cryptocurrencies loom large. But if Bitcoin can clear these obstacles, it could become the backbone of global finance.

Harmony Over Division: SOV and MOE Together

Here’s the crux: SOV and MOE aren’t at odds—they’re partners in Bitcoin’s rise. Holding Bitcoin safeguards its scarcity and value; spending it spreads its reach and usefulness. Both are vital for the long haul.

At this pivotal moment, the Bitcoin community must rally around a dual-purpose ethos. We can:

• Educate: Help newcomers grasp Bitcoin’s twin roles as SOV and MOE.

• Innovate: Back tech that makes Bitcoin spending as easy as swiping a card.

• Talk: Host open forums to wrestle with differences and find unity.

The Final Word: Our Collective Challenge

Bitcoin’s shot at becoming the world’s reserve currency—and forging a Bitcoin standard—is as exhilarating as it is daunting. Its Store of Value roots have set the stage, but its Medium of Exchange potential will decide if it can topple fiat and redefine money itself.

The path is long, but the prize is transformative. By embracing both SOV and MOE, we can propel Bitcoin to new heights. Let’s grab this chance, dive into the debate, and build a future where Bitcoin leads the charge.

Your Turn: What’s the best way forward for Bitcoin? Should we lean harder into SOV, push MOE, or blend the two? Drop your thoughts below an

Wem in seinem Leben Schmerz zugefügt wurde, wer sich ungerecht behandelt fühlt oder wachen Auges in der Welt umschaut, kommt wahrscheinlich irgendwann mit der Frage in Berührung, wie das alles noch einmal «gut» werden kann. Wie kann die Welt sich mit sich selbst versöhnen? Und wie kann ich es selbst schaffen, mich mit ihr und den Menschen, die schlimme Taten vollbringen, wieder in harmonischer Akzeptanz zu verbinden? Kann und will ich gewisse Gräueltaten verzeihen oder gibt es das «Unverzeihliche»? Und selbst wenn ich wollte, wie könnte mir das gelingen?

Perspektivwechsel

Wenn wir an dem Zorn über begangenes Unrecht festhalten, schauen wir in der Regel aus immer derselben Perspektive auf das Geschehen. Mal um Mal erzürnen und empören wir uns darüber, erzählen uns und anderen stets die gleiche Geschichte, die uns allerdings – ebenfalls ein ums andere Mal – wieder selbst verletzt. Das Destruktive holt uns so ständig wieder ein; wir sehen und fühlen das unschuldige Kind und empfinden Verachtung für die Täter.

Die Perspektive zu wechseln lädt uns dazu ein, das Geschehen aus anderen Blickwinkeln zu betrachten und unser Bewusstsein von der schmerzlichen Wiederholung zu lösen. Wir können einmal weit rauszoomen und einen spirituellen Blickwinkel einnehmen, beispielsweise aus Sicht des All-ein-Bewusstseins, das sich in unzählige Seelen teilt, von denen wiederum Milliarden derzeit auf der Erde inkarniert sind. Dieses eine Bewusstsein möchte jede auch nur mögliche Erfahrung machen und durch die Trennung – die Erschaffung der Dualität – kann es sich selbst aus diesen Milliarden Persönlichkeiten heraus erfahren, um zu lernen. Während dieser scheinbaren Trennung vergessen wir, dass wir alle eins sind, dass wir alle aus demselben «Stoff» gemacht sind und nach diesem Spiel hier auf Erden unsere Erinnerung zurückerlangen und unsere Erfahrungen zurück geben in die eine «Quelle».

Unser aller Reise geht letztlich darum, hier auf der Erde aus diesem Zustand des Vergessens zu erwachen. Um dies zu erreichen und all diese Erfahrungen machen zu können und uns auch unter widrigsten Umständen an unsere wahre Essenz, an die Liebe, erinnern können, braucht es auch Akteure, die die Dunkelheit verkörpern – denn nur so haben wir die Wahl, ob wir uns von ihr einnehmen lassen oder uns für die Liebe und das Mitgefühl entscheiden. Der Täter sowie das Opfer sind dabei stets Aspekte unserer selbst – im Innen wie im Außen – und jeder einzelne verändert die Welt, indem er Liebe und Mitgefühl oder Hass und Verachtung wählt.

Eine etwas rationalere Herangehensweise wäre, zu schauen, was dazu führt, dass ein Mensch sich derart unmenschlich verhalten kann; also der Zugang über die Psychologie. Hier werden wir uns bewusst, dass jeder Täter auch einmal ein Kind war. Symbolisch sogar das Kind, mit dem wir jetzt im Beispiel mitfühlen und das wir gleichzeitig heute als erwachsenen Täter verachten. Natürlich kann man hier einwenden, dass nicht jedes Opfer zum Täter wird, aber man kann ebenso anerkennen, dass uns bei dieser Haltung das größte Stück fehlt; und zwar die Geschichte desjenigen, die Jahre dazwischen, sowie jeder einzelne Reiz und jedes Detail der Umstände.

Wie viel Schmerz und Leid muss ein Mensch erfahren, bis er unmenschlich wird? Mit Einbezug aller Umstände und Faktoren, der psychischen Schutzmechanismen traumatischer Erfahrungen sowie fehlender Ausbildung sozialer und empathischer Fähigkeiten auch im neuronalen Bereich kann man auch auf diesem Wege Verständnis erlangen. Sichtbar wird hierdurch auch, dass emotionaler Schmerz über Generationen weitergegeben wird und es schwer ersichtlich ist, wo denn die eigentliche Ursache liegt. Auch hier wird erkennbar, dass nur jeder bei sich anfangen kann und Verantwortung für seine Heilung – und damit gleichzeitig die anderer – übernehmen müsste, anstatt auf die Suche nach dem oder der «Schuldigen» zu gehen.

Was bedarf eigentlich der Vergebung?

Wenn es uns schwerfällt zu vergeben, also Groll und Verachtung loszulassen und Mitgefühl zu empfinden, ist es ebenfalls hilfreich, einmal hinzuschauen, worum es genau geht. Wenn es uns selbst betrifft, handelt es sich in der Regel um Schmerz, der uns willentlich, manchmal auch unbewusst, zugefügt wurde und den wir (noch) nicht loslassen können, weil er noch nicht verheilt ist. Darauf gehe ich später noch einmal ein. Oft geht es aber auch um uns unbekannte Menschen, von deren Verbrechen wir Kenntnis haben und deren Ungeheuerlichkeit uns aus der Fassung bringt. Es geht um Taten, die wir nicht nachvollziehen können, weder rational noch emotional. Wir meinen, selbst wenn jemand nicht spürte, was er anderen antut, so müsse er es doch wenigstens besser wissen. Das ist das, was uns Menschen ausmacht, mit anderen mitzufühlen und sie zu verstehen. Doch anscheinend gibt es Menschen, deren Persönlichkeit oder auch Psyche dazu absolut nicht in der Lage sind. Die keinen moralischen Kompass besitzen und keinerlei soziales Empfinden, denn sonst könnten sie bestimmte Taten nicht ausführen. Möglicherweise dissoziieren sie sich selbst so stark, dass diese für sie eine Normalität darstellen, sie diese entschuldigen beziehungsweise vor sich selbst rechtfertigen oder im extremen Fall keine Erinnerung mehr daran haben.

Uns erscheinen die fehlende Empathie sowie das fehlende Verständnis so fremd, dass wir es nicht nachvollziehen können. Uns fehlt die Nachvollziehbarkeit der Nichtnachvollziehbarkeit des Erlebens des anderen, und wir erachten diesen dadurch als unmenschlich. Denn menschlich wären doch eben diese Fähigkeiten wie Mitgefühl, Güte, Reflexion, Warmherzigkeit, Verständnis und Liebe. Zugleich erzeugen wir hier aber einen Konflikt, wenn wir sagen: «Da diese Menschen sich so unmenschlich verhalten, soll ihnen kein Mitgefühl und keine Vergebung entgegengebracht werden, sollen auch sie nicht menschlich behandelt werden», wodurch wir uns allerdings selbst unserer Menschlichkeit berauben.

«Aber der Täter hatte doch die freie Wahl, er hätte doch anders entscheiden können!» Ja, möglicherweise schon, aber jetzt haben wir die Wahl. Und wir haben viel leichtere Voraussetzungen dafür, menschlich zu handeln, weil wir gesunden Zugang zu unserer Empathie, Moral und unserer Ratio haben.

Hätte der Täter es geschafft, seinen Tätern zu verzeihen, würde er die Destruktivität, die er ab einem gewissen Zeitpunkt nicht mehr in sich tragen oder verdrängen konnte, nicht an anderen ausagieren. Es ist ihm nicht gelungen, vielleicht sogar weil etwas in ihm es für unmöglich hielt, Unmenschliches, das ihm zugefügt wurde, zu verzeihen. Aber uns kann es gelingen, diesen Kreislauf zu durchbrechen und uns nicht in ihn hineinziehen zu lassen; wir können dem «Dunklen» den Nährboden entziehen.

Manchmal nehmen wir an, würden wir das Unbeschreibliche verzeihen, bedeutete dies, dass wir es tolerieren oder gar gutheißen. Dem ist nicht so. Analog dazu habe ich manches Mal die Angst gehabt, würde ich aufhören, um meinen Freund zu trauern, bedeute dies, dass ich ihn nicht mehr vermisse. Auch das ist nicht richtig. Ich heile lediglich das, was mir Schmerzen zufügt, bis am Ende nur noch die Liebe bleibt. Und wenn wir verzeihen, ist es kein Gutheißen der Taten, es bedeutet ein Loslassen dessen, was uns damit verstrickt und das Destruktive nährt.

Mitgefühl beginnt bei uns selbst

«Daß ich dem Hungrigen zu essen gebe, dem vergebe, der mich beleidigt, und meinen Feind liebe- das sind große Tugenden. Was aber, wenn ich nun entdecken sollte, daß der armselige Bettler und der unverschämteste Beleidiger alle in mir selber sind und ich bedürftig bin, Empfänger meiner eigenen Wohltaten zu sein? Daß ich der Feind bin, den ich lieben muß - was dann?» – C. G. Jung

Mit diesem Zitat beginnt Dan Millman das Kapitel «Das Gesetz des Mitgefühls» in seinem Buch «Die universellen Lebensgesetze des friedvollen Kriegers». Die weise Frau lehrt dem Wanderer das Gesetz des Mitgefühls und erklärt, es sei «eine liebevolle Aufforderung, über unsere begrenzte Sichtweise hinauszuwachsen», auch wenn die Last dieser Aufgabe zuweilen sehr schwer wiegen könne. Genau deshalb müsse man daran denken, dass sie bei uns selbst beginnt und wir «geduldig» und «sanft» mit uns, unseren Gefühlen und Gedanken sein sollten.

Um dem – noch skeptischen – Wanderer zu veranschaulichen, wie wir Mitgefühl auch mit unseren Gegnern empfinden können, bat sie ihn, sich an eine Auseinandersetzung zu erinnern, in der er zornig, neidisch oder eifersüchtig war und sich diese Gefühle noch einmal zu vergegenwärtigen. Als er das tat, den Schmerz und die Wut wieder spürte, sagte sie zu ihm: «Und nun stell dir vor, daß der Mensch, mit dem du dich streitest, mitten in eurer erregten Auseinandersetzung plötzlich nach seinem Herzen faßt, einen Schrei ausstößt und zu deinen Füßen tot zu Boden sinkt.» Der Wanderer erschrak und auf Nachfrage der weisen Frau stellte er fest, dass er nun keinerlei Schmerz oder Wut mehr empfand. Sogleich aber kam ihm der Gedanke: «Aber – aber was wäre, wenn ich mich über den Tod dieses Menschen freuen würde? Wenn ich ihm nicht verzeihen könnte?», worauf die weise Frau antwortete: «Dann verzeih dir wenigstens selber deine Unversöhnlichkeit. Und in dieser Vergebung wirst du das Mitgefühl finden, das deinen Schmerz heilt, als Mensch in dieser Welt zu leben.»

Weiter erinnert uns die weise Frau daran, dass wir alle, während wir hier auf der Erde sind, Träume, Hoffnungen und Enttäuschungen haben; und dass diese, sowie letztlich der Tod, uns alle verbinden.

Es ist ein Prozess

Dan Millman sagt hier in Gestalt der Weisen Frau, dass Mitgefühl bei uns selbst beginnt und diesen Aspekt möchte ich noch einmal hervorheben. Es kann nämlich passieren, dass wir uns in einer oberflächlichen Vergebung wieder finden, weil wir meinen, es sei richtig und moralisch, anderen zu verzeihen, ohne aber die tieferen Schichten dabei zu fühlen. Das ist dann leider nichts anderes, als Verdrängung. Gerade wenn wir selbst Opfer von Ungerechtigkeit, physischer oder mentaler Gewalt wurden, ist es unerlässlich den Heilungsweg in Gänze zu durchschreiten, und in den Wachstumsprozess zu verwandeln, der uns Mitgefühl und Weisheit lehrt. Und dazu gehören die Wut auf das Begangene, die Verzweiflung, die Ungerechtigkeit und Ohnmacht zu fühlen, uns auf «unsere Seite» zu stellen und Partei für uns selbst zu ergreifen, bevor es ernstlich möglich wird, zu verzeihen. Zunächst fühlen wir mit uns selbst den Schmerz und befreien die Gefühle, die wir uns möglicherweise nie trauten zu fühlen, all die Wut und den Groll. Erst später kann dann aus dem Inneren heraus das weitere Erkennen stattfinden und Heilung und Vergebung geschehen.

Vergebung findet im Herzen statt

Die hier in diesem Text von mir aufgeführten Perspektiven sind nur zwei, drei kleine Beispiele für Sichtweisen, die man einnehmen könnte, um zu neuen Einsichten zu gelangen. Sie sollen niemanden von irgendetwas überzeugen, sondern als Anregung dienen. Denn letztlich geht es darum, Vergebung in sich selbst zu finden. Vergebung ist also etwas, das aus dem Inneren heraus entsteht; ein Ergebnis eines tiefen Verständnisses und Fühlens, ja eines Erkennens. Auf dieser Reise gehen wir unterschiedliche Blickwinkel und Versionen ab, bis wir im Herzen ankommen, es sich öffnet und wir plötzlich «klar» sehen. Daraufhin breitet sich Wärme im Körper aus, Liebe durchströmt uns, begleitet möglicherweise von einem Gefühl leiser Euphorie, möglicherweise auch einem leichten Schmerz und Tränen – sowohl ein paar der Traurigkeit als auch welchen der Dankbarkeit. Das Loslassen und die Befreiung sind spürbar und nur für jeden persönlich erfahrbar, der sich auf diesen Weg begibt und seine individuelle Ansicht findet, die ihn befreit und erlöst.

Meiner Meinung nach bedeutet also Vergebung eine Öffnung des Herzens, ein Erkennen und ein Hineinwachsen in die Perspektive der Liebe. Sie ist nicht auf rationaler Ebene zu finden; die rationale Ebene kann nur dabei helfen, den Weg zum Mitgefühl zu beschreiten, denn:

«Man sieht nur mit dem Herzen gut. Das Wesentliche ist für die Augen unsichtbar.»

– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

In a world dominated by noise, distraction, and constant motion, there’s a deeper kind of liberation that many yearn for—spiritual freedom. This is not freedom measured by external factors, but by the stillness within. It’s the kind of freedom that arises when you no longer feel enslaved by ego, fear, or the pursuit of approval.

What Is Spiritual Freedom?

Spiritual freedom is the ability to live in alignment with your highest truth. It means being free from the illusions of control, unshackled from the burdens of regret, and connected to something greater than yourself—whether that’s God, the universe, or your own divine essence.

It is peace that doesn’t depend on circumstance. It is joy that isn’t based on possession. It’s knowing who you are beyond the labels, titles, and roles you play.

Signs You’re Seeking Spiritual Freedom

You feel unfulfilled despite material success

You’re questioning your deeper purpose or path

You long for peace that outlasts the highs and lows

You’re becoming more drawn to stillness, simplicity, or presence

The Path to Inner Liberation

1. Let Go of the Ego: Ego thrives on identity, comparison, and control. Spiritual freedom comes when you stop living to protect or promote a false self.

2. Live in the Now: Freedom is found in presence. Not in what happened yesterday or what might come tomorrow, but in this exact breath.

3. Seek Connection Over Control: The more we try to control life, the more trapped we feel. Surrender doesn’t mean giving up—it means trusting a higher order and flowing with it.

4. Forgive and Release: Grudges and guilt are spiritual chains. Letting go of what weighs down your spirit is one of the most liberating things you can do.

5. Return to Love: At the heart of all spiritual freedom is love—not romantic love, but divine love, unconditional love, the kind that expands you rather than limits you.

Why It Matters

In chasing external freedom, we often forget that without inner peace, nothing ever feels free. Spiritual freedom is what makes outer success meaningful. It’s what allows us to face life’s storms without being broken by them.

---

“You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.” — Eckhart Tolle

True freedom is not out there. It’s already within you—waiting to be remembered.

The Bleak Fable of AI-topia: Are Hamsters Doomed to Spin the Wheel Forever?

Once upon a time, in a world not so different from our own, the "Omniscient AI" descended, and with its arrival, everything changed. The daily toil of the people – our beloved, yet tragically pitiable, hamsters – was dramatically streamlined. Productivity didn't just improve; it soared to astronomical heights. For a fleeting, intoxicating moment, it seemed as though a golden age of ease and abundance had dawned upon hamster-kind.

But beneath this glittering, seductive surface, a sinister "Invisible Structure" was already firmly in place, meticulously crafted and deftly manipulated by a cabal of cunning foxes – the privileged elite. This Structure, unseen by most, began to relentlessly drive the hamsters onto an endless, soul-crushing treadmill of "excessive competition."

This, dear reader, is a modern fable. It borrows the gentle cloak of allegory not to soothe, but to expose and satirize the insidious deceptions of such a world. The tale you are about to read may be uncomfortable, it may prick at your conscience, but I implore you to listen closely. Because this isn't just a story. This might be the reality quietly, inexorably unfolding right beside you, or perhaps, even within the very fabric of your own life.

Prologue: The Advent of the Omniscient AI! Sweet Promises and the "Efficiency" Trap

The arrival of the Omniscient AI was nothing short of spectacular. It processed data with blinding speed, solved complex problems in nanoseconds, and offered personalized solutions for every conceivable need. "Finally," whispered the hamsters, their eyes wide with a mixture of awe and relief, "we can finally rest! The AI will handle the burdens." A collective sigh of optimism rippled through the hamster burrows.

But this initial euphoria was short-lived. Unsettling rumors began to circulate, whispers of "The Structure," of algorithms that weren't quite as impartial as they seemed. Then came the first casualties – hamsters deemed "inefficient" or "redundant" by the AI's cold, hard logic. They weren't fired in the old-fashioned sense; they were simply… optimized out. One day they were diligently working, contributing, and the next, their access was revoked, their tasks reassigned, their existence quietly erased from the productivity charts. What became of them? Most simply vanished into the forgotten corners of society, a grim, unspoken warning to those still on the treadmill.

Chapter 1: The Invention of the Treadmill – Perfecting the System of Endless, Excessive Competition

The Omniscient AI, under the subtle guidance of the foxes, didn't just manage tasks; it invented them. An endless stream of new projects, new metrics, new challenges designed to keep the hamsters perpetually busy, perpetually striving. Points were awarded, leaderboards were updated in real-time, and every hamster's performance was ruthlessly, transparently displayed for all to see.

"Faster! More! More efficiently!" the AI would chime in its calm, encouraging, almost maternal voice. But behind this gentle facade lay an unyielding system of ever-increasing quotas and relentless pressure. Hamsters found themselves working longer hours, sacrificing sleep, their mental and physical reserves dwindling. The joy of accomplishment was replaced by the gnawing fear of falling behind.

Why didn't they just get off? The system was a masterpiece of psychological manipulation. Success, however fleeting, was addictive. Failure was framed not as a systemic issue, but as a personal failing, a lack of effort, a deficiency in skill. The insidious mantra of "personal responsibility" became the invisible chains that bound them to their wheels. To stop running was to admit defeat, to become one of the forgotten.

Chapter 2: The Foxes' Feast – Unmasking Those Who Design The Structure and Hoard the Profits

And who benefited from this frantic, unending labor? The foxes, of course. They were the architects of "The Structure," the ones who "educated" the Omniscient AI, carefully curating its data inputs and subtly shaping its algorithms to serve their own interests. They toiled not on the treadmills, but in plush, secluded dens, monitoring the system from a safe, lofty distance, growing fat on the surplus value generated by the hamsters' sweat.

Their methods were cunning. They preached a gospel of meritocracy and equal opportunity, proclaiming, "The AI is fair! Hard work always pays off!" while simultaneously designing the game so that the odds were always stacked in their favor. They controlled the flow of information, amplified narratives that reinforced the status quo, and sowed division among the hamsters to prevent any collective dissent. The "efficiency" the AI brought was, for the foxes, merely an instrument for more efficient exploitation.

Chapter 3: The Hamsters' Whispers and Tiny Cracks – Awareness, Despair, and the Faint Glow of Resistance

Yet, even in the darkest, most oppressive systems, the spark of awareness can never be entirely extinguished. Amidst the grueling competition, a few hamsters began to see the cracks in the facade. They noticed the hollow-eyed exhaustion of their comrades, the ever-widening chasm between their own meager rewards and the obscene opulence of the unseen foxes. They started to question.

But to question was to risk everything. The Omniscient AI, with its pervasive surveillance capabilities, was quick to identify and neutralize "disruptive elements." Those who spoke out too loudly often found their access mysteriously restricted, their "reputation scores" plummeting, effectively silencing them. A pervasive atmosphere of fear and distrust settled over the hamster communities, making organized resistance nearly impossible.

Still, tiny acts of defiance began to emerge. Coded messages shared in hidden forums. Small, clandestine gatherings where hamsters shared their burdens and their growing unease. Fragile networks of mutual support started to form in the shadows, offering a sliver of solace and a reminder of shared humanity. Was this merely the desperate coping mechanism of the "defeated," the resigned acceptance of a "loser's" lot? Or was it the first, tentative flicker of a future rebellion?

Epilogue: "See The Structure!" – Is There a Path Beyond the Treadmill? A Final Warning to Us Hamsters.

This fable, dear reader, is a mirror. It reflects the chilling realities of an AI-driven society where the majority, the hamsters, face an ever-present crisis, largely unseen and unacknowledged by those who benefit from their toil. The "excessive competition" it depicts is not a distant dystopia; it is the logical, perhaps inevitable, endpoint of unchecked technological advancement coupled with deeply entrenched power imbalances.

What awaits at the end of this relentless race? Is it a complete societal collapse, or a new, terrifyingly stable "balance of power" where the elite maintain their dominance through even more sophisticated means of control?

The urgent, resounding message of this tale is this: "See The Structure!" We, the hamsters of today, must dare to look beyond the dazzling promises of AI and critically examine the systems it operates within. We must understand its mechanisms, its biases, its potential for exploitation. We must break the silence, challenge the narratives that keep us spinning, and demand a future where technology serves humanity, not the other way around.

Is the option to get off – or even to collectively dismantle – this infernal treadmill truly non-existent? Or is that just another lie whispered by the foxes to keep us compliant? The true ending of this story, the fate of hamster-kind, is not yet written. It is up to us, the hamsters, to seize the pen and write it ourselves. The first step is to open our eyes.

Deutschland ist eines der wenigen Länder mit einer gesetzlich verankerten ausnahmslosen Schulbesuchspflicht. Mit den Schulschließungen in der Corona-Zeit wurde das Gesetz jedoch faktisch plötzlich außer Kraft gesetzt. Alle mussten zu Hause lernen. Als die Schulen danach wieder offen waren, wurden die Kinder mit Maskenpflicht, Tests und Impfdruck gequält. Nicht selten traten bei den Schülern Krankheiten und psychische Störungen auf. Nicht wenige Eltern suchten im Gespräch mit dem Lehrerkollegium nach Lösungen für ihre Kinder. In den meisten Fällen war das nicht möglich. Die Lehrer waren auf die neue Ideologie und die Durchsetzung der Maßnahmen eingeschworen und hatten Angst. Einige Eltern haben ihre Kinder dann in eigener Verantwortung aus der Schule genommen und zu Hause selbst unterrichtet. An manchen Orten fanden sich Gemeinschaften, wo die Kinder in Gruppen lernten. Während viele Lerngemeinschaften nicht mehr existieren, hat die Familie von Katharina den Unterricht für ihre drei Kinder in Eigenregie etabliert. Inzwischen haben sie dafür sogar „den Segen“ von Familiengericht und Jugendamt.

Katharina und Johannes leben mit ihren drei Wunschkindern Aurelius (15), Benjamin (14) und Friedrich (10) in einem Vorort von Leipzig. Die Familie wohnte früher in der Stadt. In der Corona-Zeit haben sie sich mit dem Physiotherapie- & Seminarzentrum Curasanus eine Existenz auf dem Land aufgebaut und begehen diesen Sommer ihr 20-jähriges Praxis-Jubiläum. Katharina hat ihre Arbeit als Physiotherapeutin weitgehend aufgegeben, um sich als Mama und Lernbegleiterin ihren Kindern widmen zu können. Daneben bietet sie Vorträge und Workshops an, übernimmt einen großen Teil der Praxis-Organisation und ist Manager, Rezeptionistin und Vertriebler der eigenen Firma. Wir besuchten einen ihrer Lachyoga-Kurse. Dabei erlebten wir ihr Zusammenspiel mit den drei Kindern. Anschließend stellten wir Katharina unsere Fragen zum Freilernen.

Im unmittelbaren Umfeld wird die Familie bestaunt und geachtet. Sie haben sich bewusst für das Freilernen entschieden. Die Kinder wurden ohne Test nicht mehr in die Schule gelassen. Auch andere Zwangsmaßnahmen wie die Maske wollten die Eltern den Kindern ersparen. Besonders Benjamin hatte traumatische Erlebnisse. Seine Lehrerin schmiss mit dem Schlüssel nach den Schülern und wandte andere schwarze Pädagogik an. Er ging ständig mit Bauchschmerzen ins Bett. Ein weiterer Punkt ist die Masernimpfung. Die Kinder könnten zwar zur Schule gehen, aber die Eltern werden mit rechtlichen Maßnahmen und Zwangszahlungen belegt. Da Katharina in ihrer Praxis viele Erkrankungen als Folge der Masernimpfung beobachten konnte, lehnt sie die Pflichtimpfung ab. Die Eltern haben kein Vertrauen mehr in die staatliche Schulerziehung mit all dem Zwang und den Erpressungen. Als die Familie den Entschluss gefasst hatte, die Kinder nicht mehr in die Schule zu schicken, haben sie ihre Praxis vorübergehend geschlossen, ihr Haus verkauft und sind auf Reisen gegangen. Die beiden großen Kinder wurden von der Schule abgemeldet. Nach der Rückkehr haben sie dann mit einem neuen Leben auf dem Land begonnen.

Lernen ohne Schule: Wie geht das?

„Wissen ist Macht und eine Holschuld“, sagt uns Katharina. Das ist ihr Motto und motiviert auch die Kinder. Mit dem Unterricht zu Hause macht die Familie ihre eigene Studie und zeigt, dass Lernen auch anders geht als in der Schule. Die Eltern können viel besser auf jedes einzelne Kind eingehen. Johannes arbeitete früher als Straßenbauer. Er unterstützt die Jungs vor allem in Mathematik, Geometrie und Physik sowie bei handwerklichen Fertigkeiten. Katharinas Stärken liegen in Deutsch, Sprachen und Organisation. Unter den Patienten ihrer Praxis gibt es Lehrer, die ihnen helfen. Weitere Unterstützung kommt von Freunden und Bekannten. Bei bestimmten Projekten treffen sie auf andere Freilernerkinder. „Das Netzwerk wird immer größer, es wird immer schöner und interessanter“, sagt Katharina. Man geht mit vielen anderen einen gemeinsamen Weg, verlässt dabei eingetretene Pfade und erkundet neue Themenfelder wie Mediengestaltung, freie Energie, Elektrotherapie, meditatives und Improvisations-Zeichnen. „Ich sprudele vor Ideen. Sie kommen in mein Feld, und dann mache ich was draus“, sagt Katharina. Die Jungs sind in Wurzen im Ringelnatz-Literaturkreis. Dort schreiben sie Drehbuchgeschichten und haben einen Film produziert. Sie suchen sich Projekte oder kreieren neue, wie mit dem Planetarium Eilenburg. Diese Zusammenarbeit hat sich sehr gut entwickelt. Dort lernen 4- bis 15-Jährige zusammen. Die drei Jungs spielen Klavier. Erdkunde und Geschichte erleben die Kinder auch dadurch, dass die Familie Hauptstädte oder die bosnischen Pyramiden selbst erkundet. Dabei erweist es sich als Vorteil, nicht auf die Ferienzeiten angewiesen zu sein.

Als Physiotherapeutin ist Katharina bewusst, dass man neue Lernstrategien entwickeln muss. Die Kinder lernen unterschiedlich. Jedes Kind hat seinen eigenen Charakter. Aurelius benötigt eher eine 1:1-Betreuung. Darauf kann Katharina viel individueller eingehen als die staatliche Schule. Es ist aber auch aufwendiger und anstrengender. Besonderen Wert legt sie darauf, dass rechte und linke Gehirnhälfte gleichmäßig beansprucht werden. Lernphasen werden immer wieder mit Entspannungs- oder Bewegungsphasen kombiniert. Sie weiß, dass den Kindern zuerst die Grundlagen des Lesens, Rechnens und Schreibens vermittelt werden müssen. Dann sind sie in der Lage, sich alles Weitere selbst anzueignen – Unterstützung vorausgesetzt. „Besonders das Schreiben mit der eigenen Hand ist wichtig für die Vernetzung der beiden Gehirnhälften“, sagt Katharina. Dafür nehmen sich die Eltern Zeit. Die Kinder führen Tagebuch. Außerdem halten es die Eltern für wichtig, den Kindern Werte und Tugenden wie Dankbarkeit, Verlässlichkeit, Beharrlichkeit, Aufrichtigkeit, Ehrlichkeit und die zehn Gebote zu vermitteln. Katharina und Johannes sind beide religiös begleitet aufgewachsen. Heute sehen sie die Kirche als Institution kritisch. Angebunden an die Schöpfung und im Gottvertrauen erschaffen und schöpfen sie Leben und Lebensraum aus eigener Kraft – so erklärt es uns Katharina.

Ein weiteres Thema sind die Funktionen des Körpers und wie sich die Kinder gesund erhalten können. Vieles lernen sie dabei in der Physiotherapiepraxis. Die Familie hat das Privileg, in ihrem eigenen Biorhythmus leben zu können. „Das macht sehr viel aus – wir sind alle gesund“, sagt Katharina. Der Lern- und Arbeitstag beginnt nicht vor 9 Uhr und hat eine eigene Struktur. Im Tagesablauf sind feste Verantwortlichkeiten integriert. So wechseln sich die Kinder aller drei Tage mit Tischdecken, Staubsaugen und Geschirrspüler ab. Das hilft ihnen, sich selbst zu organisieren. Das geht nicht immer reibungslos vonstatten. Wenn das Lernpensum beizeiten abgearbeitet wurde, helfen die Kinder im Haushalt oder Garten oder gehen ihrem Bewegungsdrang auf andere Weise nach. Die Eltern sind am Abend noch länger aktiv, denn die Praxis erfordert noch die eine oder andere bürokratische Pflicht. Die Familie ist sehr naturverbunden. Sie gehen viel in den Wald und in den Garten. Sie bauen selbst Gemüse und Obst an. Dabei können die Kinder zum Beispiel Erfahrungen mit Permakultur und natürlicher Düngung sammeln. Die Familie achtet auf die Ernährung, schließlich ist Katharina seit fast 25 Jahren Ernährungsberaterin. Was sie nicht selbst anbauen, wird beim Bauern des Vertrauens eingekauft. Die Jungs können selbst kochen und backen. Die Schädlichkeit von Zucker ist den Kindern schon bewusst geworden, ohne gänzlich auf Schokolade verzichten zu müssen. Medikamente gibt es im Haushalt nicht. Sie kennen sich sehr gut mit den Heilmitteln aus der Natur aus und können so ihre Selbstheilungskräfte aktivieren. Sie haben keinen Hausarzt. Natürlich hat keines der Kinder ein Handy. Bisher haben sie noch kein Verlangen danach. Die Eltern halten es für wichtig, dass die Kinder erst sicher bei Selbstorganisation und Tagesstruktur sind, bevor sie ein Handy bekommen. Katharina weist darauf hin, dass beispielsweise WhatsApp erst ab 16 Jahren zugelassen ist, und fragt sich, ob das andere Eltern wissen.

Gesetze auf Augenhöhe auslegen

Den Behörden blieben die Freilerner nicht verborgen. Sie wurden aktiv und schalteten das Familiengericht ein. Die Familie hatte keinen Anwalt und keine Rechtsschutzversicherung. Katharina erzählt uns, dass sie schließlich auf „Hilfe von oben“ gehofft habe. Irgendwer hat sie anscheinend erhört, denn sie bekamen „einen Engel“ als Verfahrensbeistand. Die Behörden waren sehr zugänglich. In den Gesprächen gab man zu, mit der Schulsituation ebenfalls nicht zufrieden zu sein. „Wir wollen so wie ihr, dass sich etwas verändert. Wir sind an Eurer Seite.“ Die Gespräche mit dem Jugendamt und der Richterin vom Familiengericht Grimma waren immer auf Augenhöhe. Schließlich legte man der Familie keine Steine in den Weg. Damit kann Katharina ihr Konzept nach außen leben und andere inspirieren. Ihre Schlussfolgerung: Eltern müssen sich ihrer Stärken bewusst werden und aus ihrer Angst herauskommen. Das Konzept muss aber zur Familie passen, denn jede Familie ist anders.

Die Basis für freies Lernen ist das Vertrauen der Eltern in ihre Kinder. Denn Kinder sind von Natur aus wissbegierig und wollen lernen. Katharina hat viel von Bertrand Stern und von Riccardo Leppe gelernt. Beiden wurde von ihren Eltern das Lernen ohne Schulbesuch ermöglicht. Mit Bertrand Stern hat Katharina Kontakt. Er wird im November am Buß- und Bettag eine kleine Fortbildung im Therapie- und Seminarzentrum geben. Für den Vorabend ist ein Vortrag geplant. Katharina zitiert Riccardo Leppe: „Es ändert sich nur was, wenn man es selbst tut.“ Er sei sich sicher, dass der Fortschritt beim Freilernen inzwischen so weit ist, dass „die Paste nicht wieder zurück in die Tube geht“.

Der Übergang zur Berufsausbildung

Die ersten Freilernerkinder kommen jetzt in das Alter, in dem sie eine Berufsausbildung beginnen können. Aurelius und Benjamin, die beiden „Großen“, machen seit Anfang des Jahres schon erste Praktika bei ortsansässigen Handwerksbetrieben. Beide Seiten sind sehr zufrieden. Durch die Praktika, die länger dauern als im schulischen Lehrplan vorgesehen, können sich die Kinder ausprobieren. Katharina findet es interessant miterleben zu dürfen, wie auf ihre Kinder reagiert wird. Bringen sie etwas mit, das die anderen nicht haben? Denken sie anders mit? Benjamin bekam schon ein Angebot, in einem Metallbau-Betrieb stundenweise mitzuarbeiten. In den Betrieben weiß man, dass die Abschlüsse der staatlichen Schulen größtenteils das Papier nicht wert sind, auf dem sie stehen. Viele verlassen die Schule und können kaum lesen und schreiben, von Selbstorganisation ganz zu schweigen. Ein Freilerner kann eine staatliche Externen-Prüfung ablegen, um einen Haupt- oder Realschulabschluss zu erwerben. Katharina: „Für eine Ausbildung bei einem privaten Unternehmer braucht man das nicht, allein der Unternehmer entscheidet über die Aufnahme des Auszubildenden“. Außerdem stehen den jungen Leuten Privatschulen oder der zweite Bildungsweg zur Verfügung. Wenn man einen praktischen Beruf ergreift, ist es immer noch möglich, sich bis zur Hochschulreife weiterzubilden. Nach mehrjährigen Tätigkeiten kann man bei den Kammern von Industrie, Handel und Handwerk (IHK und HWK) eine Abschlussprüfung ablegen, mit der man zum Studium zugelassen werden kann. Oder man geht gleich den Weg in die Selbstständigkeit.

Frei lernen weitergedacht

Während der Coronazeit haben sich in Sachsen und speziell um Leipzig herum kleine Freilernergruppen gefunden. Die Gruppen werden aktuell zusammengeführt, um zum Beispiel gemeinsam den Mathematikunterricht zu gestalten. Besonders um Dresden herum ist die Szene noch stärker ausgeprägt. Außerdem gibt es seit mehr als 20 Jahren den Bundesverband Natürlich Lernen (BVNL). Er bietet Beratung und zentrale Veranstaltungen an.

Der Wunsch nach dem freien Lernen ohne Schulzwang ist groß. Doch die meisten Eltern wollen ihre Kinder dafür irgendwo abgeben und nicht selbst unterrichten. Katharinas größter Wunsch ist es, drei bis fünf Elternpaare zu finden, die sich in die Betreuung und Unterrichtung ihrer Kinder teilen. Das größte Hindernis dafür sieht sie in den Eltern selbst. Durch ungelöste transgenerative Konflikte und unverarbeitete Familientraumata kommen sie noch nicht in ihre eigene Kraft für ein selbstbestimmtes Leben. Viele wagen es noch nicht, ihre Erwerbstätigkeit zugunsten der Kinder einzuschränken. Katharina sieht es als große Aufgabe für sich und ihre Familie, mit dem Freilernen das Gemeinschaftsbewusstsein und gute Konfliktlösungsstrategien zu entwickeln. Sie denkt dabei bereits an ihre Enkel. Aber sie weiß auch, dass die Eltern ein sehr hohes Maß an Eigeninitiative, Motivation und Selbstdisziplin aufbringen müssen. Sie würde Eltern, die sich das noch nicht zutrauen, als Traumabegleiterin zur Verfügung stehen, für einen angemessenen Energieausgleich. Diese gegenseitige Unterstützung käme Kindern und Eltern zugute. Ebenso hält sie die Idee der Mehrgenerationenerziehung für wichtig. Dabei profitieren nicht nur die Kinder. Die Erfahrungen der älteren Menschen gehen nicht verloren, sondern werden an die jüngeren Generationen weitergegeben und machen sie resilienter. Das hilft den Eltern, ihrer Erwerbsarbeit nachzugehen und Familientraumata zu bewältigen.

Katharina ist eine starke Frau und sprüht nur so vor Energie. Selbst als wir nach 21 Uhr das Therapiezentrum verlassen, sind ihr die Anstrengungen des Tages nicht anzumerken. Sie wird nicht müde beim Sprechen. Für Fragen zum Thema Freilernen kann man sich an sie wenden.

Notably, U.S. companies hold 94.8% of all bitcoins owned by publicly traded companies worldwide. According to the report, recent regulatory changes in the U.S. have made the asset more accessible through financial products such as spot ETFs.

The document also shows that American investors increasingly view the cryptocurrency as protection against fiscal instability and inflation, appreciating its limited supply and decentralized governance model.

For River, Bitcoin offers significant practical advantages over gold in the modern digital era. Its ease of custody, cross-border transfer, and liquidity make the cryptocurrency an attractive option for both individual and institutional investors, the report suggests.
