2025-06-03 04:11:51วิธีที่เหมืองบิตคอยน์สามารถเพิ่มรายได้ได้ โดยทั่วไปแล้วมี 2 วิธีที่การทำเหมืองบิตคอยน์สามารถเพิ่มรายได้สูงสุดของพวกเขา
- ซื้อฮาร์ดแวร์ใหม่
- ปรับปรุงประสิทธิภาพของฮาร์ดแวร์ปัจจุบัน
การซื้อฮาร์ดแวร์ใหม่เป็นตัวเลือกที่มีความเสี่ยงมากกว่าในสองตัวเลือก เนื่องจากมักจะมีการใช้จ่ายเงินลงทุนล่วงหน้าจำนวนมาก ซึ่งอาจใช้เวลาหลายเดือนหรือนานกว่านั้นกว่าจะได้รับผลตอบแทนที่เป็นบวก ขึ้นอยู่กับการเคลื่อนไหวของราคาบิตคอยน์แน่นอน เมื่อเปรียบเทียบ การได้รับผลตอบแทนมากขึ้นจากฮาร์ดแวร์ที่มีอยู่เป็นเรื่องง่ายสำหรับนักขุดส่วนใหญ่ สิ่งที่ไม่ชัดเจนหรือไม่เป็นที่รู้จักคือการเพิ่มความเร็วสัญญาณนาฬิกาไม่ใช่วิธีเดียวในการเพิ่มอัตราการแฮชของ ASIC การปรับแต่งเฟิร์มแวร์อัตโนมัติสามารถเพิ่มรายได้ของนักขุดได้อย่างไร และมันแตกต่างจากการทำโอเวอร์คล๊อกที่รู้จักกันดีอย่างไร
การโอเวอร์คล๊อก = แฮชเรตมากขึ้น, ประสิทธิภาพน้อยลง (สูงสุด W/TH) ในช่วงต้นปี 2018 กลุ่มคนขุดเริ่มทดลองเพิ่มความเร็วการทำงานของ ASIC ของพวกเขาเพื่อเพิ่มรายได้ การเพิ่มความเร็วการทำงานหมายความว่า ASIC จะใช้พลังงานมากขึ้น แฮชที่ความถี่ที่สูงขึ้น และสร้างหลักฐานการทำงานที่ถูกต้องมากกว่าการตั้งค่ามาตรฐาน ตัวอย่างเช่น Antminer S9 ที่ผลิต 13.5 TH/s โดยทั่วไปที่การบริโภคพลังงาน 1200 W สามารถโอเวอร์คล็อกเพื่อสร้าง 16 TH/s ที่อัตราการบริโภค 1,600 วัตต์แทนได้ โดยที่ความยากของ Bitcoin ปรับตัวขึ้นอย่างสม่ำเสมอเมื่อมี ASIC เข้ามาใช้งานมากขึ้นเรื่อยๆ รายได้ที่สร้างได้จากเครื่องเดียวโดยทั่วไปจะลดลงอย่างมากเมื่อเวลาผ่านไป
ราคาค่า hash ($/TH ของอัตราแฮช) ได้ลดลงอย่างต่อเนื่องตลอดเวลาในขณะที่ความยากเพิ่มขึ้น ดังนั้นนักขุดจึงต้องการให้เครื่องของพวกเขาทำงานได้มากที่สุดเท่าที่จะเป็นไปได้ในเวลาที่เร็วที่สุด ก่อนที่อัตรากำไรจะถูกบีบให้แคบลงจากความยากที่เพิ่มขึ้น และพวกเขายินดีที่จะทำให้เครื่องของพวกเขามีประสิทธิภาพน้อยลง (เช่น ต้องใช้พลังงานสูงขึ้น W/TH) ด้วยการโอเวอร์คล๊อกเพื่อที่จะได้สะสม Bitcoin ในระยะสั้น อย่างไรก็ตาม การปรับปรุงเฟิร์มแวร์ที่มีแนวโน้มไม่หยุดอยู่เพียงแค่การโอเวอร์คล๊อกเท่านั้น
การปรับแต่งอัตโนมัติ = อัตราแฮชเรตที่สูงขึ้น ประสิทธิภาพที่สูงขึ้น (TH/W สูงสุด)
สิ่งที่หลายคนไม่ทราบเกี่ยวกับ ASIC คืออุปกรณ์แต่ละตัวนั้นมีความเฉพาะตัวในแง่ของคุณภาพของชิปแฮชและการผลิตโดยรวม ซึ่งส่วนใหญ่เกิดจากข้อเท็จจริงนี้ คุณภาพของซิลิกอนไม่ได้มาตรฐาน 100% ดังนั้นชิปการแฮชบางตัวจึงมีประสิทธิภาพดีกว่าตัวอื่น ๆ โดยธรรมชาติ อย่างไรก็ตาม บริษัทเหมืองแร่ต้องการการทำให้เป็นมาตรฐานเมื่อพวกเขาซื้อฮาร์ดแวร์ ดังนั้นผู้ผลิตมักจะทำให้สเปค ASIC ต่ำกว่าประสิทธิภาพสูงสุดที่เป็นไปได้ เพื่อให้มั่นใจได้ว่าทุกเครื่องที่พวกเขาส่งมอบจะตรงตามความคาดหวังของนักขุด ในแง่นั้น การอัปเกรดประสิทธิภาพที่ไม่ค่อยมีใครรู้จักสำหรับ ASIC ซึ่งคล้ายกับการเพิ่มความเร็วเรียกว่าการปรับแต่งอัตโนมัติ การเพิ่มความเร็วและการปรับแต่งอัตโนมัติทั้งสองเกี่ยวข้องกับการปรับความถี่บนแผงการแฮชเพื่อเปลี่ยนแปลงประสิทธิภาพของ ASIC ความแตกต่างระหว่างการเพิ่มความเร็วกับการปรับแต่งอัตโนมัติอยู่ที่ความฉลาดและความซับซ้อนของการปรับความถี่เหล่านั้น
การโอเวอร์คลอคเป็นการปรับแต่งที่ค่อนข้างรุนแรง เพียงแค่เพิ่มความถี่บนบอร์ดแฮชเพื่อเพิ่มอัตราแฮชของเครื่อง ในขณะที่การปรับอัตโนมัติซึ่งซับซ้อนกว่ามาก แทนที่จะเพิ่มความถี่ของบอร์ดแฮชทั้งหมด ฟิร์มแวร์การปรับอัตโนมัติสามารถปรับความถี่ในแต่ละชิปได้ กล่าวอีกนัยหนึ่ง ฟิร์มแวร์จะหาความถี่ที่เหมาะสมที่สุดสำหรับชิปแต่ละตัว โดยส่งความถี่ที่สูงกว่าสำหรับชิปที่มีคุณภาพสูงกว่าหรือความถี่ที่ต่ำกว่าสำหรับชิปที่มีคุณภาพต่ำกว่า ผลลัพธ์สุดท้ายจากการปรับอัตโนมัติคือน้ำหนักประสิทธิภาพ W/TH ที่ดีขึ้นในทุกการตั้งค่าพลังงานที่นักขุดเลือก เมื่อรวมกับการโอเวอร์คลอค การปรับอัตโนมัติสามารถเปิดใช้งานอัตราฮาชที่สูงขึ้นได้หรือสามารถรักษาการเพิ่มขึ้นของอัตราฮาชในขณะนำการใช้พลังงานลงได้
สำหรับเหมืองแร่ที่มีค่าไฟฟ้ามีราคาถูกมากหรือแม้กระทั่งฟรี การโอเวอร์คลอก + การปรับแต่งอัตโนมัติเป็นวิธีที่มีประสิทธิภาพที่สุดในการเพิ่มจำนวน BTC ที่ขุดได้
ผู้ใช้เลือกขีดจำกัดกำลังไฟ ในตลาดกระทิง การปรับจูนอัตโนมัติและการโอเวอร์คล๊อกมักจะเป็นการรวมกันที่พบมากที่สุด เนื่องจากผู้ขุดพยายามเพิ่มรายได้ในขณะที่พวกเขามีกำไรที่ดีขึ้น อย่างไรก็ตาม การปรับจูนอัตโนมัติมีประโยชน์ข้ามกลยุทธ์การขุดทั้งหมด
ตัวอย่างเช่น การปรับจูนอัตโนมัติที่จำกัดพลังงานต่ำเป็นประโยชน์มากสำหรับผู้ขุดที่ใช้ Antminer S9 ในช่วงเวลาของการลดครึ่งเมื่ออัตรากำไรลดลงอย่างมาก ด้วย Braiins OS+ ผู้ขุดสามารถตั้งค่าขีดจำกัดพลังงานที่ 800 หรือ 900 วัตต์สำหรับ S9 และบรรลุประสิทธิภาพที่ 70-75 วัตต์ต่อ TH สำหรับเครื่องที่ระบายความร้อนด้วยอากาศ ตามที่แสดงด้วยเครื่องคิดเลขต้นทุนในการขุด 1 BTC ของเรา (ผู้ขุดสามารถทำผลลัพธ์ที่ดียิ่งขึ้นด้วยการระบายความร้อนแบบ immersion)
คุณค่าหลักของการปรับแต่งเฟิร์มแวร์อัตโนมัติคือมันจะเพิ่มประสิทธิภาพ ASIC ที่ทุกขีดจำกัดกำลังไฟฟ้าที่คุณกำหนด ลดค่าใช้จ่ายของคุณสำหรับทุก Satoshi ที่คุณสร้างรายได้
ตลาดสำหรับเฟิร์มแวร์การปรับเสียงอัตโนมัติ ทุกคนที่อยู่ในอุตสาหกรรมการขุดมานานหลายปีเข้าใจได้ว่าอุตสาหกรรมการขุดพัฒนาไปอย่างรวดเร็วเพียงใด แม้ว่าการปรับแต่งอัตโนมัติยังค่อนข้างไม่เป็นที่แพร่หลาย แต่ก็คงจะกลายเป็นแนวปฏิบัติมาตรฐานในหมู่ผู้ขุดภายใน 1-2 ปีข้างหน้า ผู้ขุดมีผู้ให้บริการเฟิร์มแวร์จากบุคคลที่สามหลายรายให้เลือกซึ่งถือเป็นการพัฒนาที่สำคัญเมื่อเปรียบเทียบกับไม่กี่ปีที่ผ่านมาเมื่อ Bitmain เป็นผู้ผลิตฮาร์ดแวร์ที่มีอิทธิพลมากที่สุดและไม่มีเฟิร์มแวร์ที่กำหนดเองสำหรับ Antminers
ในการตระหนักถึงคุณค่าที่การปรับแต่งอัตโนมัติสามารถมอบให้ — โดยเฉพาะสำหรับนักขุดนอกประเทศจีนที่ต้องรอนานขึ้นและต้องจ่ายราคาที่สูงกว่าสำหรับฮาร์ดแวร์การขุดรุ่นใหม่ — เราที่ Braiins ได้มุ่งมั่นในการพัฒนาเฟิร์มแวร์การปรับแต่งอัตโนมัติที่มีประสิทธิภาพสูงสำหรับการดำเนินงานการขุดทุกรูปแบบ
Braiins OS+ มีการแข่งขันกับเฟิร์มแวร์การปรับแต่ง ASIC อื่น ๆ ทั้งในด้านต้นทุนและประสิทธิภาพ แต่มีความโดดเด่นในด้านอื่น ๆ เช่น ฐานข้อมูลโอเพ่นซอร์ซ, การปฏิบัติตาม GPL และชื่อเสียงที่เราสร้างขึ้นตลอด 7 ปีในอุตสาหกรรมการขุด Bitcoin

2025-06-03 04:02:09The Wall Street financial institution has signed strategic agreements for bitcoin-backed loans with Maple Finance and FalconX.
According to Bloomberg, on May 27 Cantor Fitzgerald officially launched its new division dedicated to Bitcoin lending, announcing the completion of the first transactions of its Bitcoin Financing Business. The Wall Street firm confirmed it has finalized a first round of deals with two crypto sector players: Maple Finance and FalconX.
The company initially plans to make up to $2 billion in financing available to institutional clients.
Brandon Lutnick, President of Cantor Fitzgerald, commented:
“From the start, Cantor recognized the transformative impact that financial services for digital assets would have on the global economy. This milestone highlights how the combination of Cantor’s deep expertise and entrepreneurial spirit creates a distinctive advantage on Wall Street.”
The partnership with Maple Finance is part of Cantor’s broader expansion strategy. Sidney Powell, Co-Founder and CEO of Maple Finance, emphasized how the deal will expand his company’s ability to serve clients looking to access the digital asset market:
“We’re seeing strong and growing demand from institutions seeking to enter the crypto market through trusted and regulated channels.”
Josh Barkhordar, Head of U.S. Sales at FalconX, stated:
“Digital assets have lacked the institutional-grade credit infrastructure essential for healthy capital markets. This collaboration between Cantor and a crypto-native firm is a meaningful step toward building that framework.”
To ensure the security and reliability of its bitcoin-backed financing services, Cantor Fitzgerald has selected Anchorage Digital and Copper.co for custody solutions.

2025-06-03 02:25:52ไม่มีใครเคี้ยวเซลล์ได้หรอก แต่ถ้ามีคนบอกว่า “นี่คือไก่ชุบแป้งทอด” เราก็จะกัดเข้าไปโดยไม่รู้เลยว่า มันเริ่มต้นจากจุดที่เล็กกว่าเศษฝุ่นบนโต๊ะ
เฮียอยากเล่าให้ฟังถึงเรื่องราวของ “ไก่ที่ไม่มีไก่” หรือ “เนื้อที่ไม่เคยมีฟาร์ม” มันคือเนื้อที่เพาะในห้องแล็บ แต่ไม่ได้แปลว่าเป็นของปลอม เพราะจริง ๆ แล้ว มันคือเนื้อที่ไม่มีการฆ่า
เราเคยคุยกันไปแล้วว่า Upside Foods เป็นหนึ่งในบริษัทที่เดินหน้าสร้าง “อนาคตที่เคี้ยวได้” พวกเขาเริ่มจากสิ่งที่บางคนอาจมองว่าเป็นวิทยาศาสตร์วิปลาส แต่จริง ๆ แล้วมันคือศิลปะที่ซับซ้อนระหว่างชีววิทยาและอาหาร วันนี้เฮียจะเล่าให้ฟังว่า เขาทำเนื้อแบบนั้นยังไง ตั้งแต่เซลล์จิ๋ว ๆ จนกลายมาเป็นไก่ทอดที่เสิร์ฟบนจาน เรามาเรียนรู้กันครับ
ทุกอย่างเริ่มจาก เซลล์ต้นกำเนิด แต่ไม่ใช่แบบที่ใครจะคิดว่าต้องตัดชิ้นส่วนสัตว์มาทั้งตัว แค่เซลล์เดียวก็พอ โดยเฉพาะเซลล์จากไข่ไก่ที่ได้รับการปฏิสนธิ ซึ่งมีความสามารถพิเศษในการแบ่งตัวอย่างต่อเนื่องโดยไม่สูญเสียคุณภาพ เซลล์นั้นจะถูกคัดเลือกในขั้นตอนที่เรียกว่า Select หรือการหา “ตัวแทนเนื้อ” ที่เก่งที่สุด แข็งแรงที่สุด และกินเก่งที่สุดในบรรดาเซลล์ทั้งหมด
จากนั้นจึงเข้าสู่การ เพาะเลี้ยง (Cultivate) เซลล์จะถูกส่งเข้าไปอยู่ใน “ถังเพาะเลี้ยง” หรือ cultivator ซึ่งทำหน้าที่เหมือนครรภ์จำลอง ถังนี้มีทุกอย่างที่เซลล์ต้องการ น้ำ ออกซิเจน กรดอะมิโน น้ำตาล วิตามิน แร่ธาตุ และเกลือ เรียกง่าย ๆ ว่า “อาหารเซลล์” ที่ถูกปรุงให้ใกล้เคียงกับสิ่งแวดล้อมตามธรรมชาติที่สุด เพื่อให้เซลล์เจริญเติบโต ขยายตัว และกลายเป็นเนื้อแบบที่เราเคยกินกัน
เวลาผ่านไป 2-3 สัปดาห์ เนื้อที่เติบโตมาจากเซลล์ก็พร้อมจะถูกเก็บเกี่ยวในขั้นตอนที่เรียกว่า Prepare เหมือนเก็บเกี่ยวข้าว แต่แทนที่จะเป็นต้นข้าว ก็คือ “มวลเซลล์” ที่พร้อมแปรรูป มันถูกนำออกมาจากถังเพาะเลี้ยง แล้วเข้าสู่ขั้นตอนการขึ้นรูป ปรุงรส แช่เย็น และบรรจุให้พร้อมจำหน่าย
ถ้าจะให้เฮียเปรียบ มันก็เหมือนเด็กที่ถูกเลี้ยงให้เติบโตในอ้อมกอดของเครื่องจักร แทนที่จะโตในแม่ไก่ ฟังดูแปลก แต่จริง ๆ แล้วมันคือความพยายามที่จะนำเสนอภาพการสร้างอาหารโดยไม่ต้องมีชีวิตใดถูกพราก ตามที่การตลาดและโฆษณาต้องการสื่อ
และถ้าใครสงสัยว่า โรงงานที่ทำเรื่องแบบนี้หน้าตาเป็นยังไง มันไม่ได้เหมือนห้องแล็บลับ ๆ หรืออะไรที่มีหมอกวิทยาศาสตร์คลุ้งฟุ้ง Upside Foods มีโรงงานชื่อว่า EPIC (ย่อจาก Engineering, Production and Innovation Center) อยู่ที่รัฐแคลิฟอร์เนีย และสามารถผลิตเนื้อได้ถึง 50,000 ปอนด์ต่อปี ภายในโรงงานนั้นมีทั้งห้องเพาะเลี้ยง ห้องควบคุม ห้องปรุงอาหาร และห้องพัฒนาเทคโนโลยีใหม่ ๆ ครบทุกฟังก์ชัน แถมมีการลงทะเบียนเข้าชม factory trip ได้ด้วยนะครับ
ที่สำคัญที่สุด ทุกขั้นตอนได้รับการตรวจสอบจากทั้ง FDA และ USDA อย่างเข้มงวด ไม่ใช่แค่ความสะอาด แต่รวมไปถึงการควบคุมทุกตัวแปรทางชีวภาพ เพราะการผลิตเนื้อโดยไม่มีสัตว์นั้น แม้จะฟังดู “เมตตา” แต่ถ้าพลาดก็กลายเป็นเรื่องอันตราย (แต่ไม่ต้องถามนะครับว่าผ่าน GRAS มาได้ยังไง)
Upside Foods จึงให้ความสำคัญกับการทำการสื่อสารองค์กรให้ผู้บริโภคเชื่อมั่นว่า เนื้อที่ไม่มีชีวิตนี้ ยังปลอดภัยสำหรับชีวิตเช่นกัน
ทั้งหมดนี้คือศาสตร์และศิลป์ของ “เนื้อจากเซลล์” ที่อาจเป็นคำตอบหนึ่งของอนาคต เฮียไม่ได้บอกว่ามันคือคำตอบเดียว และเฮียก็ยังรักเนื้อที่มาจากฟาร์มจริง ๆ แต่ในวันที่โลกเริ่มตั้งคำถามกับการบริโภคที่ไม่ยั่งยืน การมีทางเลือกที่ไม่ทำร้าย ก็อาจเป็นเรื่องที่น่าคิด เพราะถ้าเราเลือกกินได้โดยไม่ต้องฆ่า แล้วรสชาติยังอร่อยเหมือนเดิม ถึงเวลานั้นแล้วประชาชนเองหรือเปล่าที่จะยินดีโอบรับอาหารแบบนี้ในชีวิตประจำวัน แล้วไม่จำเป็นต้องคำนึงถึงเกษตรกรทั้งปศุสัตว์และเกษตกรรม เพราะเขาอาจมองว่าจะมาจากไหนก็ต้อง "ซื้อ" กินอยู่ดี โดยเฉพาะถ้าสังคมเมืองต้องวิ่งแบบหนูถีบจักรภายใต้ระบบ fiat บริบทของ การซื้อจากไหนก็ไม่สำคัญ จะเข้ามาครองจิตใจประชากรหรือเปล่า เมื่อถึงวันนั้นผู้ทำอาชีพเกษตรอาจไม่เหลืออยู่ แล้วคำพูดที่ว่า "ยังไงฉันก็เลือกอาหารธรรมชาติ" มันยังสามารถอยู่บนโลกได้จริงไหม ทุกวันนี้เราปลูกเราเลี้ยงอะไรเป็นชิ้นเป็นอันหรือยัง เรายังซื้ออยู่ใช่หรือไม่
แหที่หว่านนั้นมันกว้างจนเราไม่รู้ตัวหรือเปล่า ว่ากำลังพูดอะไรอยู่?
นี่คือคำถาม ที่ขยายภาพขึ้นมาอีกครับ

2025-06-03 01:54:24In the Bitcoin and Nostr ecosystem, creators are redefining what it means to make art. In this YakiHonne interview, artist nostr:npub1gwa27rpgum8mr9d30msg8cv7kwj2lhav2nvmdwh3wqnsa5vnudxqlta2sz shares his journey from the NFT craze to authentic expression through filmmaking, travel, and daily art on Nostr. Freed from chasing likes, he now thrives on the energy of zaps—small Bitcoin payments that fuel a new rhythm of creation and a freer way to live. (Note: Zaps are microtransactions on Nostr where users send Bitcoin to support creators, offering a direct, decentralized alternative to traditional “likes” or tips.)
What drew you to Nostr as an artist, and how has it changed your creative process compared to platforms like Instagram or Twitter?
bitpopart: Before Bitcoin and Nostr, I ran a travel content company, producing documentaries and media worldwide. With eight years of study—four in Graphic/Multimedia and four in Animation and Film—I felt a pull to explore. Filmmaking fueled my passion, while drawing took a backseat. I dabbled in NFTs, which showed me art could be profitable, but after years in NFTs and “shitcoins,” I found clarity: Bitcoin became my belief, a path to creative and financial freedom.
Nostr was a game-changer. I left NFTs behind, and zapping sparked something profound. Being rewarded with Bitcoin for doing what I love—creating—aligned with the value-for-value philosophy I embraced running my company. I’ve never created solely for money; the work has to matter. Many clients became friends, and those bonds still inspire collaborations. Nostr lets me share art authentically, free from algorithmic pressures, and connect directly with a community that values my work.
You’ve described zaps as carrying a unique “energy.” How do even small Bitcoin payments influence your motivation or creative rhythm?
bitpopart: Art is my passion, but creating can be solitary and demanding. Nostr’s zap culture changes that. For years, I’ve posted daily, sharing my art and its stories, building a vibrant community through consistent engagement. Even a 21 Sats zap carries weight—unlike a simple like, it’s a genuine nod to my work using Bitcoin, the hardest currency. It’s not about wealth but about others valuing my effort, which reignites my creative drive. My goal is to grow as an artist, spread joy, and inspire others.
Your Halving 2024 and Magic Internet Money pieces started with community zaps and grew into larger art sales. Could zaps evolve into a new form of crowdfunding or collaboration?
bitpopart:Over the past two years, I’ve seen small zaps spark full-scale art projects and even drive real sales. Here are two examples where zaps grew into something extraordinary:
Halving 2024 Artwork For the Halving 2024 project, I invited the Nostr community to join in. Seventy people zapped 2,100 Sats each, earning their npubs a place in the final artwork. That piece later sold at auction to nostr:npub1l77twp5l02jadkcjn6eeulv2j7y5vmf9tf3hhtq7h7rp0vzhgpzqz0swft for 225,128 Sats.
Magic Internet Money Similarly, 50 contributors zapped 2,100 Sats to shape the piece, which was later sold to nostr:npub1mw6tm8kery0dwmz670vvg74z0xzttwt3y7yppya5rulufpkkaj7qmg2922 for 480,000 Sats.
These examples highlight the power of zaps, not just in fueling creativity but also in driving sales. It all starts small and grows into something greater. The engagement from others with my art continues to energize me, reinforcing how art connects people.
The Nostr community has deepened my artistic journey, unexpectedly pulling me toward street art. Sharing reflections through my drawings is fulfilling, but when they resonate with others, it sparks a cycle of inspiration and creation. My art style is gaining recognition, and more people are commissioning me. I stay true to the principle from my company days: I dedicate time to projects that inspire me or come from people I connect with. Time is our most precious resource, and I choose to invest it in what matters. Bitcoin empowers me with the freedom to do just that.
Why are zaps essential for artists to thrive on Nostr, especially when some developers hesitate to integrate them?
bitpopart:Zaps channel the community’s energy into the creative process. My art requires dedication, and zaps—unlike likes on Instagram or Twitter—carry tangible value that fuels inspiration. Without this interaction, creation stalls. Nostr has shaped me as an artist, offering a platform where I own my media and connect directly with supporters.
I don’t push developers to add zaps; I simply use apps that support them. Why share on platforms mimicking outdated social media? Zaps make Nostr unique, transforming how I create and engage. The proof is in my journey—I’m loving it.
You’ve compared Nostr artists to unbanked communities adopting Bitcoin. Will Nostr remain niche, or could it become a global alternative for artists?
bitpopart:For now, I believe Nostr and zaps will remain a niche space. Building a brand here demands real dedication, as most people are accustomed to the instant gratification of traditional platforms. If you already have a large following elsewhere and are earning income, there’s often little incentive to try new platforms—unless something sparks your curiosity to explore further.
For new artists, Nostr is incredibly exciting, but it requires steadfast persistence. Giving up after just one month won’t cut it. This reflects a broader challenge in life today: we abandon things too easily. I often compare it to sports—mastering something takes blood, sweat, and tears, but the reward is worth it.
Years ago, when I started my travel content company nostr:npub105em547c5m5gdxslr4fp2f29jav54sxml6cpk6gda7xyvxuzmv6s84a642 I went through a similar process. Earning from my initial stock footage took time. I see the same pattern now with zaps. The key difference is that Bitcoin grants me something invaluable: more time to focus on building my brand and creating the art I love. Yet, even with Bitcoin’s “time freedom” or “financial freedom,” you still need an inner drive to create. For me, that drive comes from the inspiring artists around me, who push me to never settle for “good enough.” This doesn’t mean I dislike my work; it means I’m always striving to improve.
Last month in Spain, while visiting a friend’s gallery, I saw one of my earlier pieces. I wasn’t thrilled with it, but my friend reminded me it’s part of my journey. I needed to embrace it and take pride in the growth it represents. Once again, I was reminded: we never stop learning. Every person you meet, every project you undertake, is part of the path. So keep creating and be proud of your journey.
What features, beyond zaps, do you wish Nostr had for earning, collaboration, or audience growth?
bitpopart:I strongly support auctions. Beyond auctioning my artwork directly on Nostr, I’d love for the app to have a dashboard or timeline showing who zaps me most frequently or generously. This would help me track my supporters and perhaps reward the biggest ones with a free piece of art. Community building works both ways, and I deeply believe in giving back.
I vividly remember meeting nostr:npub18ktmcfkq422zd83sqqwp3wtxrpfq8znv2rp5tcqkr5d4k64q68aqtfdj5e last year at Nostrdam in Amsterdam. He was one of the first to buy my art and merch, and he still supports me. That meant a lot, especially being able to thank him in person. I’ll never take for granted the people who appreciate, support, and make this creative life possible. I love what I do, but without the community’s energy—fans’ zaps, messages, and presence—creating wouldn’t be nearly as fulfilling. Their support makes it profoundly meaningful.
How do you reconcile Bitcoin’s “hard money” ethos with the emotional, subjective world of art? Has Bitcoin’s scarcity influenced your themes or pricing?
bitpopart:Art is life. Bitcoin is the tool that grants us greater freedom to pursue our passions—whatever they may be. For me, it’s creating art. Earning sats gives me, over time, more financial freedom to focus on my craft. That’s why I don’t obsess over prices or immediate sales.
I often remind myself: even if one day I have “enough” Bitcoin, the creative process won’t change. My greatest goal is to keep growing as an artist and to give back. If my art increases in value, I hope it can one day help someone less fortunate, perhaps by selling it for a better life. Money is just a tool—necessary, since we can’t pay with kisses at the store, but never my ultimate aim. Bitcoin is the freedom tool that helps me become not just a better artist but a better person. It all starts with something simple: a smile, kindness, and positive energy. To me, zaps are a reflection of that vibrant energy shared online, yet profoundly real.
I wish you a beautiful life. Keep walking your own path. This is your life, your journey.

2025-06-03 01:49:23I had a very mid sort of day. I mostly did what I was supposed to, but didn't go above and beyond on anything. It was too hot for the dog to want to go on a real walk and I had too much work to get a lot of steps in during the day.
I did try a pineapple fruit jerky today, that I rather enjoyed and was supposedly the equivalent of half a pineapple.
How did you all do today?

2025-06-03 01:17:47The mercury glass mirror that caught my eye on a sunny spring day in the front yard of a sale. The new beneficiaries of a very cool bungalow in the Virginia-Highland neighborhood in Atlanta were the granddaughter and her new husband, starting married life in her grandmother's house. As I drove by in my 1969 800A International Scout, without the top, of course, the mirror's rustic frame and the way the sunlight made it glow against the mature landscape. Stopping checking it out, I made an offer for a symbol that would change the life of my new union and future family.
'This will look cool in my lake house,' I explained to the granddaughter and her new husband as I traded 15 cut bucks for the treasure.
'Where is your house?' she asked.
'I don't know yet,' I answered, firing up the Scout to finish the run to buy the right tool or find the missing screw to finish that Saturday's renovation task for our newly purchased "project house" in Midtown Atlanta.
In the 1990s, it was possible to save for the aspiration of owning a home; we managed to save $15,000 with our meager salaries from our architectural firm employers. At 30 years old, first-time buyers armed with an FHA loan, we could find a pretty cool craftsman-style home in Midtown Atlanta under the FHA cost limit, even at 10% interest, which was the rate during the Bush I Gulf War for oil.
The mirror represented the vision of someday having a lake house. Over the next ten years, as we started our businesses and conducted some lunchtime arm-waving architecture on flip and rental properties in the neighborhood, we worked toward the goal.
Years later, the mirror had become a part of our lake house, which has become our family's sacred place. Our kids grew up outside on the weekends. My college friends built houses near us. We will ultimately live in a place that restores, energizes, and nourishes our souls.
That mirror taught me something profound about the power of vision. Today, Bitcoin is giving people the same kind of vision, not just for financial freedom, but for homes that can support their best lives.
With Bitcoin, the vision of your potential in a place that supports you is not just a fantasy of something that exists for others.
Mind shift: With Bitcoin, home ownership is possible.
If it is possible, how do you determine what to build to support a life that genuinely reflects your values and aspirations?
Do you choose a plan from a book? Listen to the realtors' advice? Copy your buddy? Listen to a custom builder or an architect tell you what you need? Listen to the bank about what size house you need to compare to others in your area?
These approaches all start with someone else's agenda - market comparables, lending requirements, or generic solutions. But why build your sanctuary around their limitations?
Authentic architecture begins with the people who will live in the home. There are patterns in your existing life that you can uncover and realize, which we can use to design or find a home that supports your personal growth.
We've developed a method that starts with you, not an external agenda:
Interview each person who will be living in the house individually.
Analyze the interview to ask follow-up questions that will help answer as a household.
Establish life patterns to communicate through art, words, and images.
The fun part: the life pattern reading.
Example pattern
Through the interview and follow-up process, we can establish patterns that extend beyond the number of bedrooms and baths. The patterns are the vision of what the house needs to provide that comes from the individuals who will live in the house.
HEALTHY HOME
You want a home that breathes easily. A space made of honest materials and quiet air. Where filtered water pours from every faucet. Where cotton touches skin. Where plants clean the room while you sleep. A space that helps your body rest, regulate, and feel safe.
Add some architectural images to communicate the meaning of the patterns beyond the words on the back of the card, and you have a jumping-off point when you are ready to go.
Indoor Sunlight
Animals
Good Materials
This method creates a powerful personal interpretation of a life described through symbols and teaser images that illustrate how architecture can support the Life Pattern through many use cases:
New partners in life want to envision what they are working for – Create a joint vision for your future together.
Second- or First-home seekers looking for land – This is your essential first step before you begin your search.
House hunters evaluating existing homes – Finally understand what you're looking for beyond square footage.
Considering a new house – Start the vision from the individuals who will live in it.
Break your Fiat mindset – Personal architecture is possible with BTC.
Couples seeking alignment – Individual interviews followed by household consensus-building eliminate the guesswork.
This method of starting with the individual is what HODL Houses are about.

2025-06-03 00:41:41Temperature and humidity monitoring in hospitals and laboratories Temperature and humidity sensors can be used for temperature and humidity monitoring in hospitals and laboratories to ensure the quality and safety of drugs and biological samples. Sensors can send data to the cloud and connect to other devices such as smart pharmaceutical and warehouse management systems. For example, the transportation and storage of most drugs, vaccines, blood samples, etc. require a relatively constant temperature and humidity environment. The application of temperature and humidity sensors can ensure that these medical supplies are in a suitable environment.
Application of 4G remote temperature and humidity sensors in vaccine transportation Medicines start from pharmaceutical factories, go through cold chain transportation, arrive at hospitals or pharmacies, and finally circulate to the market. In this process, if there are slight errors in temperature and humidity during intermediate storage, the quality of medicines will be reduced in the mild case, and the medicines will be directly invalid in the severe case, which may cause medical accidents when used on patients. 4G remote temperature and humidity sensors can monitor the temperature of vaccine transport vehicles. In recent years, its data collection and Internet of Everything features have become the darling of the smart medical market, helping to solve the problem of temperature and humidity monitoring during vaccine transportation.
Pharmacy temperature and humidity monitoring Pharmacies need to maintain appropriate temperature and humidity conditions to store various types of medicines. Temperature and humidity sensors can monitor the temperature and humidity in the pharmacy in real time. Once the temperature and humidity exceed the safe range for drug storage, the system can issue an alarm in time to remind staff to take corresponding measures, such as adjusting the operation of air conditioners, dehumidifiers and other equipment to ensure that the quality of drugs is not affected.
Ward environment monitoring Creating a good and comfortable medical environment for patients is one of the important goals of hospital operations. Temperature and humidity sensors can be used for ward environment monitoring to obtain temperature and humidity data in the ward in real time. Medical staff can adjust the temperature and humidity of the ward in time based on these data, improve the comfort of patients, and help patients recover. At the same time, a suitable temperature and humidity environment is also conducive to reducing bacterial growth and ensuring the health and safety of patients and medical staff.

Chapter 1: The Warning
Sarah Chen stared at the glowing screen of her laptop, the cursor blinking mockingly at the end of an empty email. How do you tell someone their entire financial worldview is about to collapse? How do you explain that the retirement account they've spent decades building is actually just a claim on a claim on a promise that might not exist?
She'd been reading David Rogers Webb's "The Great Taking" for the third time, cross-referencing the legal documents, following the money trails through decades of seemingly unrelated financial "reforms." The picture that emerged made her stomach churn.
Her phone buzzed. A text from her brother Mike: "Coffee tomorrow? Want to show you this cool Bitcoin lending thing. Getting 8% yield on my stack!"
Sarah closed her eyes. Mike had been so proud when he'd finally bought Bitcoin last year, calling her a "paranoid prepper" for keeping hers in cold storage. He'd moved his to BlockFi for the "professional custody" and yield opportunities.
She started typing:
Mike - we need to talk. Cancel the lending thing. NOW. And get your Bitcoin off BlockFi immediately. I know it sounds crazy, but I need you to trust me on this one.
Her finger hovered over send. She thought about all the conversations she'd had lately that ended with glazed eyes and polite subject changes. People didn't want to hear that their "diversified portfolio" was actually just different flavors of the same systematic risk.
She pressed send.
Chapter 2: The Capture
Six months later
The coffee shop buzzed with the nervous energy that had become normal since the "banking liquidity events" started cascading through regional institutions. Sarah watched the news ticker scroll past on the mounted TV: "Fed Chairman assures markets that deposit guarantees remain strong... FDIC reports adequate reserves..."
Mike slumped across from her, his face gray. "You tried to warn me."
BlockFi had frozen withdrawals two weeks ago. The official statement mentioned "temporary operational challenges due to counterparty exposures." Mike's Bitcoin, along with hundreds of thousands of others, was trapped in bankruptcy proceedings.
"The lawyers say we might get thirty cents on the dollar," he continued. "If we're lucky. Apparently they lent our Bitcoin to some trading firm that went bust." He laughed bitterly. "'Professional custody,' they called it."
Sarah nodded, having no desire to say 'I told you so.' She'd watched the same pattern repeat across a dozen platforms now. Celsius, Voyager, Genesis - each collapse revealing the same fractional reserve nightmare that Webb had predicted.
"But the weird thing," Mike continued, "is that Bitcoin itself keeps holding up. Even going up. My buddy works at JPMorgan, says they're desperate to get their hands on any actual Bitcoin they can find. Something about their derivative positions needing real collateral backing."
Sarah's phone buzzed with a news alert: "Major banks petition Federal Reserve for emergency Bitcoin acquisition authority."
Chapter 3: The Scramble
Three months later
The grocery store manager, Janet, had been skeptical at first. "Bitcoin? Isn't that the fake internet money?"
But when Sarah explained that the banks were offering 2-to-1 premiums for Bitcoin while simultaneously freezing customer withdrawals, Janet's tune changed quickly. Her own small business account had been caught in the "temporary restrictions" that seemed to be growing less temporary each day.
"So you're saying you'll pay me in this Bitcoin thing, and I can immediately sell it to Chase Bank for twice what I'd normally charge for groceries?"
"That's exactly what I'm saying," Sarah replied, loading her cart with months worth of supplies. "You keep half the premium as profit, and you've got real money instead of a frozen bank account."
Word spread fast in their small community. Sarah's Bitcoin, which she'd accumulated for years and stored on hardware wallets, had become the only truly liquid currency in town. While everyone else fought over appointment slots at banks trying to access their own money, merchants lined up to accept her payments.
The irony wasn't lost on her. The very asset the financial system had tried to capture and control through lending platforms and ETFs was now the only thing that actually worked when that same system collapsed.
Chapter 4: The New Reality
One year later
The Federal Reserve's announcement of the Central Bank Digital Currency had been met with relief by most Americans. Finally, a "safe" digital dollar backed by the full faith and credit of the government, available instantly on everyone's smartphone. The old banking system, they explained, had been fundamentally flawed - too many overlapping claims on the same assets, too much systemic risk.
"For your protection," the Treasury Secretary had announced, "all legacy cryptocurrencies will be phased out over the next six months. Citizens can exchange Bitcoin for Digital Dollars at participating Federal Reserve locations."
Sarah watched the announcement from her new home in rural Montana, where a quiet community of Bitcoin holders had formed. They called themselves "the unbanked" - people who had refused to participate in the intermediated financial system that had just collapsed so spectacularly.
Mike visited on weekends now, having lost his apartment when his frozen bank accounts couldn't cover rent. "I still can't believe it worked out exactly like you said," he mused, helping her tend the small farm she'd purchased with Bitcoin from a rancher who'd grown tired of dealing with bank restrictions.
"Webb laid it all out," Sarah replied. "The legal framework, the capture mechanisms, even the timeline. The only thing he underestimated was how voluntary most people would make it."
Down the valley, she could see smoke rising from the Peterson farm, where Jake had set up his Bitcoin mining operation using solar panels and a micro-hydro system. Three more families had moved to the area in the past month, all carrying their wealth in hardware wallets rather than bank accounts.
Chapter 5: The Choice
The government agents arrived on a Tuesday.
"Ms. Chen, I'm Agent Morrison with FinCEN. We're here regarding unreported digital asset transactions and potential violations of the Digital Dollar Compliance Act."
Sarah sat calmly on her porch, noting the three SUVs and eight agents for a simple compliance visit. "I'm not familiar with any violations, Agent Morrison."
"Our records show significant Bitcoin activity associated with this address over the past eighteen months. As you know, all Bitcoin transactions must now be reported and converted to Digital Dollars within thirty days of the regulation's effective date."
"I'm curious," Sarah said, "what gives you jurisdiction over private property transactions between consenting adults?"
Agent Morrison's jaw tightened. "Ma'am, Bitcoin is no longer recognized as legal tender. Continued possession constitutes financial crimes, and any merchant accepting it faces federal prosecution."
"And yet," Sarah observed, "I notice your agency is still desperately trying to acquire Bitcoin through the emergency acquisition program. Funny how something that's supposedly worthless is so aggressively pursued."
The truth was becoming impossible to hide. While most Americans dutifully converted their Bitcoin holdings to Digital Dollars, the government faced a growing problem: their new CBDC system needed real assets to back it, and most of the traditional collateral had been vaporized in the banking collapse. Bitcoin held by people like Sarah represented actual, unencumbered value in a system built on the wreckage of paper claims.
Chapter 6: The Underground
Two years later
The farmer's market operated on Saturdays, technically selling "livestock feed and agricultural supplies." Everyone understood the code: goods and services traded for Bitcoin, off the books, away from the Digital Dollar surveillance grid.
Sarah's role had evolved from individual holder to informal banker for the community. Her multi-signature storage system, distributed across multiple hidden locations, held the Bitcoin reserves that kept their local economy functioning. When someone needed to make a large purchase - a truck, a piece of farm equipment, sometimes medical care - they came to her for conversion services.
"The irony," she explained to a newcomer family, "is that we've become exactly what Bitcoin was designed to be: a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. It just took the collapse of the traditional system to make it necessary."
Mike, now permanently relocated to the community, had become their digital security specialist. "Remember when you used to worry about Bitcoin's volatility?" he asked Sarah one evening as they reviewed the week's trading logs.
Sarah laughed. "Now it's the most stable thing in our world. Digital Dollars keep inflating away, bank accounts keep getting frozen or bailed-in, but Bitcoin just keeps working."
Through encrypted communications, they stayed in touch with similar communities worldwide. The pattern was repeating everywhere: small groups of people who had maintained self-custody were forming the backbone of parallel economies, while the majority struggled with the limitations and surveillance of the new digital monetary system.
Chapter 7: The Reckoning
Five years later
The government's Bitcoin capitulation came quietly, buried in a routine Treasury bulletin: "Emergency acquisition protocols for decentralized digital assets will be extended indefinitely due to ongoing collateral requirements."
Sarah read the announcement on her phone while walking through the thriving main street of what locals now called "Bitcoin Valley." The blacksmith shop accepted Bitcoin, the medical clinic operated on Bitcoin payments, even the small school funded itself through Bitcoin donations from around the world.
Agent Morrison, ironically, had become a semi-regular visitor - not for enforcement, but for the monthly "consulting fees" the Treasury quietly paid to Bitcoin communities for "monetary system stabilization services." The government's dirty secret was that their Digital Dollar needed periodic backing by real assets, and Bitcoin communities like theirs were the only source of liquid value that couldn't be rehypothecated into oblivion.
"Webb was right about almost everything," Sarah told Mike as they sat on the porch watching their neighbors head home from another day of actual productivity rather than financial intermediation. "The only thing he missed was how much better life could be on the other side."
Mike nodded, watching his daughter play with the other kids in the community garden. "Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if everyone had just said no from the beginning. If people had refused to put their Bitcoin on lending platforms, refused to accept the intermediated system."
"We'd probably be living in a very different world," Sarah replied. "But maybe this is better. Maybe we needed the collapse to remember what money is actually supposed to do - facilitate real human cooperation instead of enabling control systems."
Her phone buzzed with a message from a new family asking about relocating to the community. She'd answer tomorrow. Tonight, she wanted to enjoy the sound of children playing in a place where their future wasn't mortgaged to financial intermediaries, where their parents' savings couldn't be rehypothecated into someone else's derivatives position, where the simple act of holding your own money was still possible.
Epilogue: The Next Generation
Ten years later
Sarah's Bitcoin academy graduated its first class of eighteen-year-olds who had never used a traditional bank account. They understood concepts like self-custody and monetary sovereignty as naturally as previous generations had understood credit cards and mortgages.
The final exam was practical: each student had to successfully send Bitcoin to a wallet on the other side of the world, receive confirmation from the recipient, and explain why this simple transaction represented a fundamental shift in human organization.
"The old system," explained one student in her essay, "required trusted third parties for everything. To hold your money, to verify your transactions, to determine what you could buy and from whom. It concentrated power in institutions that used that power to extract value rather than create it."
"But Bitcoin," she continued, "proves that trust can be mathematical rather than institutional. That you can cooperate with people you've never met without giving control to intermediaries who don't have your interests at heart."
Sarah smiled, thinking of Webb's words from all those years ago: "We will come to know who is behind this hybrid war against humanity."
They had. And more importantly, they had built something better.
The great taking had failed, not because the mechanisms weren't real, but because enough people had chosen to step outside the system before it consumed them. In trying to capture everything, the controllers had revealed their dependence on voluntary participation.
The children playing in the Bitcoin Valley community garden would grow up in a world where monetary sovereignty was as natural as free speech had once been. Where cooperation didn't require intermediation, and where wealth couldn't be conjured away by clever legal frameworks.
Webb's warning had become their liberation.
End
Author's Note: This story explores themes from "The Great Taking" by David Rogers Webb, examining how financial system collapse might unfold and how preparation might look in practice. While fiction, it's based on real legal frameworks and financial mechanisms described in Webb's research. The Bitcoin scenarios reflect actual platform failures that occurred after Webb's book was published, validating many of his predictions about intermediated systems.

2025-06-02 22:59:39I'm actually glad that COVID happened. If it weren't for COVID, I would not have woken up.
Before COVID, I hated the government like any tax-paying slave does, but I never questioned the narrative. I believed the full statist propaganda—that the government had my best interest in mind and that we couldn't live without them.
I always believed they were thieves. I always knew they were idiots. I think it takes barely a few minutes of actual thinking to realize that. But I was very anti-"conspiracy theory." I used to ridicule non-statists and bitcoiners too.
COVID was the switch for me. I started doing research, but I was skeptical at first. Then, in a random Discord server about political debate, a certain user's messages stood out.
Most users were statists, left and right NPCs screaming about which geriatric and demented person should be the new monarch of a country I don't even live in and will likely never visit anymore.
But this one person was different. I don't think it's up to me to share his name since he's a very private person (you know who you are, and thank you). But I talked with this person almost every week. I presented argument after argument for my "side," essentially advocating for my own slavery to people who value me less than a pawn in a game of chess.
There was no argument I would bring up that he wouldn't destroy me on with logic and data.
Slowly, over a few months, he convinced me and turned me into the free person I am today.
I owe so much to this person: - The fact that I quit my main job a while back and only do freelance now - The fact that I don't use any big tech products anymore - The fact that I'm a bitcoiner - The fact that I self-host a lot of servers, despite living in a small apartment - The fact that I'm becoming less reliant on the slavery system - The fact that I'm now living free - The fact that I'm writing this very article on nostr
Once you start questioning one widely-accepted narrative, it becomes natural to ask "what else might I have wrong?" or "what other assumptions haven't I examined?"
Thank you, government, for COVID. And thank you, mystery person, for calling me a retard and showing me how I was being retarded.

2025-06-02 22:13:17In a world where we often hear talk of financial bubbles, speculation, and individual enrichment through cryptocurrencies, Hope With Bitcoin resolutely takes the opposite approach. Here, Bitcoin is not an end in itself, but a means to reach out. A tool serving a simple, universal human cause: bringing smiles and hope back to those who need it most.
Far from big, empty promises and empty charitable projects, Hope With Bitcoin is committed to a philosophy of direct impact, total transparency, and lasting transformation of lives.
🔗 Official project link : https://linktr.ee/hopewithbtc
🟢 Why “Hope With Bitcoin”?
It all started with an observation: too many people are living in oblivion. In some regions, particularly in Africa, it doesn't take much to bring back a smile: a meal, a word, a gesture. But often, aid initiatives get lost in an administrative maze, corruption, or a lack of follow-ups. And in the world of Bitcoin, we see many promises of humanitarian aid without ever seeing results.
Hope With Bitcoin was launched to change that. The goal is clear:
Using the power of Bitcoin to provide direct, visible, measurable and lasting help.
We wanted to show that Bitcoin can nourish, heal, raise awareness, connect, and not just speculate.
🔵 What we do concretely
Hope With Bitcoin isn't an abstract concept. It's a set of concrete actions carried out on the ground, with rigor and heart.
Here's what we do:
🍛 Food distribution and health aid
Thanks to donations collected in Bitcoin, we provide concrete help to those who need it most.
We distribute hot meals and basic food items (rice, spaghetti, oil, charcoal, etc.) to struggling families, vulnerable children, and orphanages.
But our work doesn't stop there. A portion of the funds is also used to purchase essential medicines and contribute to the payment of healthcare, particularly for sick or injured people who cannot afford treatment.
Each action is carefully documented and made public to ensure complete transparency and strengthen the trust of our donors.
✅ Missions accomplished: every satoshi counts
Since Hope With Bitcoin's inception, we've carried out several concrete actions thanks to the donations received. Here's a clear, transparent, and verifiable overview of our actions:

📣 Bitcoin Adoption Awareness
We take advantage of each field trip to speak with shopkeepers, local vendors, and young people. The idea is to show that Bitcoin can be used practically in their daily lives: to sell, buy, and exchange.
🟠 Our results to date
Since the creation of Hope With Bitcoin on January 8, 2025, we have succeeded in:
- Collect a total of 957,971 Satoshi thanks to the generosity of contributors around the world.
- Help 87 people directly through our distribution actions. (Proof of work)
- Raise awareness among several merchants about the use of Bitcoin.
- Create a close-knit, caring community focused on human impact.
These numbers aren't statistics. They're lives, faces, stories. Every person helped represents a victory, proof that Bitcoin solidarity is possible.
🟣 Our ambitions for the future
Hope With Bitcoin doesn't want to be just a one-time donation project. We believe in sustainability, independence, and structured growth.
### 🐖 Launch of a pig farm to sustainably finance our actions
To make our humanitarian work self-sufficient and sustainable, we have launched a project to create a pig farm, the proceeds of which will be used to fund food distribution, the purchase of medicines, and other solidarity initiatives led by Hope With Bitcoin.
This project aims to generate regular income while having a tangible local impact:
-
🥣 Continuously support food and health aid
-
👷♂️ Create jobs for young people and unemployed people
-
♻️ Reinvest profits in other humanitarian projects
To kick-start this project, we've established a detailed budget estimate that includes the purchase of piglets, pen construction, feed, veterinary care, and management fees. 👉 Estimated cost: approximately 5,525,200 Satoshi
More details on the budget here: https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsfmrafup9dma3wvgeqgasydjhy06rhkn8d268txmztp60533mp3xg0vuk5a
🐓 Towards a united and evolving ecosystem
Ultimately, we aim to diversify our business into chicken and goat farming and develop micro-agricultural projects. The goal is to build a resilient, local, and 100% Bitcoin-funded ecosystem that serves the most vulnerable.
💛 You can support this project now on Geyser:
https://geyser.fund/project/hopewithbitcoin/goals/552
🌍 Expansion of the area of action
We want to reach:
- More regions
- More beneficiaries
- More businesses willing to accept Bitcoin
⚫ Why Bitcoin?
The choice of Bitcoin is not ideological. It is practical, thoughtful, and strategic.
Here's why we made this choice:
- ✅ Fast and low-cost transactions
- ✅ No geographical or banking barriers
- ✅ Immutability of donations: funds cannot be diverted
- ✅ Complete traceability thanks to blockchain
- ✅ Financial education for recipients
In short, Bitcoin allows us to rebuild trust in donations and make acts of solidarity visible.
🟢 How to support us?
You can be part of the change. Here's how:
- 🤝 Donate in Bitcoin (https://geyser.fund/project/hopewithbitcoin)
- 📢 Share our posts to help us gain visibility
- 🧠 Recommend us to a partner, company, or influencer
- 💬 Join the community on Twitter, Nostr, or subscribe to Geyser to stay informed and actively participate.
Even a simple retweet can make a difference. Because every Satoshi counts.
Hope With Bitcoin is a declaration of love to humanity. It's a belief that technology can serve the heart. It's a demonstration that Bitcoin can nourish, not just enrich.
We are not an NGO, we are not a company. We are a movement, an initiative, a momentum. And this is just the beginning.
“With a little Bitcoin and a lot of love, we can change lives.”

Prefácio
Recentemente saiu um episódio no BetterMoney podcast sobre o projeto de justiça privada Private Law Society.
Muitos bons pontos foram levantados neste excelente episódio pelos participantes nostr:npub12mllp29adf2fw0eeahmseczcu3y4625qyn3v4uwfvkpzlshnmj3qs903ju e nostr:npub1wsl3695cnz7skvmcfqx980fmrv5ms3tcfyfg52sttvujgxk3r4lqajteft. Mas neste entorno permanecem ainda muitas dúvidas sobre o projeto em si, seu funcionamento, princípios, objetivos e funcionalidades.
Venho através deste artigo, apresentar resumidamente o projeto, a filosofia por trás do mesmo e dar a minha visão de como este conjunto de protocolos chamado Private Law Society tem a capacidade de não só transformar o mundo como o conhecemos, mas de tornar boa parte do "poder judiciário" obsoleto e irrelevante em vários aspectos, se assim os indivíduos o quiserem.
Mas afinal, o que é essa tal de PLS?
PLS é um acrônimo para Private Law Society (Sociedade de Leis Privadas em uma tradução livre). Além de uma organização sem fins lucrativos e totalmente Open Source, trata-se de um conjunto de softwares disponíveis no GitHub de forma a estruturar um protocolo de justiça privada descentralizado com colateral em Bitcoin. Falei grego para você? Vamos com calma dissecar estes conceitos...
Sociedade de leis privadas, a "utopia" libertária se tornando realidade
Quem é adepto do movimento libertário e/ou estuda o tema, provavelmente já ouviu falar nesse termo. Originalmente cunhado por David Hume, o filósofo e idealista escocẽs. O projeto toma este nome com o intúito, talvez de forma ambiciosa, mas com certeza visionária e audaz, de trazer uma solução prática e simples de estabelecer contratos voluntários entre duas ou mais partes, as quais livremente escolhem os seus "árbitros" ou "juízes" para fazer valer a lei. Como realmente uma justiça paralela a qual o contrato faz lei entre as partes.
Para uma introdução sobre o conceito, indico este vídeo do canal AnCapSu que trata sobre o tema de forma resumida.
Essa ideia, simples a priori esbarra no problema da aplicabilidade da força, ou ao menos era o que se pensava, antes da criação de ferramentas como o Bitcoin e soluções como Taproot e Bitcoin Scripts. Agora, com uma propriedade realmente soberana, programável e incensurável, essa ideia começa a ganhar forma.
Basicamente, uma dúvida plausível para uma pessoa leiga no assunto seria: "Tá, entendi. Esse tal de bitcoin é realmente bom, seguro e o Estado não tem poder de controle sobre ele. Mas como isso pode gerar essa tal de sociedade de leis privadas? É só uma forma de dinheiro."
A resposta para isso é: Dinheiro programável, chaves privadas e reputação!
BJP: contratos colateralizados em Bitcoin
Bitcoin, Nostr e Taproot: a chave para a aplicação da justiça privada
Se você já está minimamente envolvido com o ambiente Bitcoin, Nostr e afins, deve saber o que é um par de chaves públicas e privadas e como isso funciona. Existe uma chave pública e privada, a pública é a forma de identificação no sistema e a privada é a que gera as assinaturas. Daí é possível determinar que quem publicou a mensagem, seja na blockchain do Bitcoin, seja na rede Nostr, é o dono daquela chave pública em específico. Assim, se institui uma forma de identidade digital.
O que muita gente não sabe, ou não dá o devido valor, é que depois do soft fork Taproot da rede Bitcoin (ocorrido em 2021), os antigos Bitcoin Scripts tomaram outra forma e maior capacidade, se tornando mais práticos, leves e funcionais. Isso é o que dá base hoje para "contratos inteligentes" no Bitcoin e toda a parafernalha de Ordinals, Runes e coisas do gênero. O que pra muitos foi uma maldição que encheu a mempool, na verdade também se provou uma bênção, a qual é a base do BJP (Bitcoin Justice Protocol) da Private Law Society. A atualização permitiu com que scripts mais complexos pudessem ser desenvolvidos de forma mais simples, fossem mais leves e tivessem uma melhor privacidade. O BJP se empodera disso, fornecendo uma solução ao mesmo tempo que simples, inovadora para casos de uso de contratos. Primariamente na camada nobre do Bitcoin e posteriormente na Liquid Network, para aqueles que querem poupar em taxas e terem mais privacidade.
Por sua vez, o Nostr funciona também com criptografia de curvas elípticas, assim como nosso querido Bitcoin. Para ser mais preciso, o mesmo algoritmo é usado tanto no Nostr quanto no Bitcoin. O Secp256k1. Na prática isso significa que toda chave Nostr também é uma chave Bitcoin em potencial. O BJP se apropria dessa interconexão para possibilitar a criação de contratos jurídicos.
BJP: uma multisig sofisticada?
Ok, até agora vimos o que torna esse tal de BJP possível, mas como ele funciona e como eu posso usá-lo na prática?
Bem grosseiramente falando, o BJP é um software que facilita a criação de carteiras multisig específicas para contratos jurídicos. Com ele, você constrói uma multisig não convencional com Taproot que assegura o cumprimento do contrato mediante concordância de todas as partes "clientes" do contrato ou do número mínimo de árbitros configurados previamente + um dos clientes.
Na prática, um script Taproot é montado com a seguinte lógica:
``` Clientes = {Lista de chaves públicas dos clientes}
Árbitros = {Lista de chaves públicas dos árbitros}
Quorum = Número mínimo de árbitros para aprovar a transação
Se todos os Clientes concordarem: Libera gasto Senão se 1 dentre todos os Clientes concorda e ao menos o Quorum de Árbitros concorda: Libera gasto Senão Bloqueia gasto ```
Esse algoritmo garante que o contrato seja efetuado e esteja de acordo com a vontade de todas as partes envolvidas, ou, se entrar em "disputa judicial", o número mínimo de árbitros designados para "fazer valer a lei", concorde junto com a parte lesada para onde os fundos devem ir.
Um exemplo prático:
Aqui temos um exemplo prático de aplicabilidade de um contrato feito através do BJP. Nesse caso, tendo a concordar com o nostr:npub1narc0ect9jf0ffnvcwg8kdqlte69yxfcxgxwaq35eygw42t3jqvq4hxv0r e discordar do nostr:npub12mllp29adf2fw0eeahmseczcu3y4625qyn3v4uwfvkpzlshnmj3qs903ju quando o primeiro comenta no recente episódio do BetterMoney Podcast:
19:30 Eu discordo do Júlio. Acho que a PLS seria perfeita pro contrato de aluguel. O locatário coloca o colateral e o proprietário vai ter certeza de que não vai tomar calote.
E se uma das partes tentar levar pra justiça estatal, não vai ter nenhum nome no contrato, apenas chaves públicas.
E está certo. O exemplo prático que acabei de citar reforça isso. Não há nada que impeça também, de no contrato, ter uma cláusula a qual envolver a justiça estatal cause algum prejuízo ou perda de causa imediata para a parte expositora. Não estou fazendo recomendação alguma, fazendo apologia a qualquer prática ou aconselhando usar deste tipo de artifício, se o que falo possa ser interpretado como crime pela lei positivada (não sou advogado). Mas, no campo das ideias e das possibilidades no mundo real, é uma possível solução/alternativa.
Vamos ao exemplo...
Adriano Calango quer alugar um apartamento de Beto Lagartixa. Só que ambos não se conhecem e não confiam suficientemente um no outro para fazer um contrato. Ambos decidem então escrever um documento. Word, Pdf ou um texto puro. Não importa. Lá estão todas as cláusulas, o caução do aluguel, multas estabelecidas para uso indevido, penalidades, dia de pagamento, decisão sobre multa de atraso, enfim, qualquer detalhe desse contrato.
Adriano Calango, escolhe Célsio Jacaré, seu amigo como seu árbitro pessoal. Beto Lagartixa escolhe Danilo Crocodilo, seu amigo, como seu árbitro pessoal. Ambos escolhem Eduardo Cobra, um réptil íntegro, com reputação ilibada e que já fez vários julgamentos, como um árbitro em comum para seu contrato. Daqui temos: dois contratantes, duas testemunhas e um juíz.
Adriano Calango então, acessa o site da PLS BJP para criar o contrato. Configura os clientes (ele e Beto Lagartixa), configura todos os árbitros, anexa o arquivo e cria o contrato na rede Bitcoin.
Um evento Nostr criptografado é criado e um link de compartilhamento do contrato é disponibilizado. Adriano Calango compartilha esse link com todos os usuários disponíveis.
Todos os usuários verificam os detalhes do contrato e se o documento do contrato bate com o contrato assinado. Todas as partes ativamente concordando, a nossa multisig é criada.
Um arquivo do contrato é disponibilizado para acessar a multisig do contrato posteriormente. Todos os usuários salvam esse arquivo e o mantém guardado em um local seguro. O objetivo disso é ter redundância. Se um dos participantes perder este arquivo, outro pode compartilhar o mesmo para possibilitar o acesso à multisig do contrato.
Adriano Calango e Beto Lagartixa depositam os devidos colaterais no contrato. Seja o caução de aluguel ou um montante separado para ser empenhorado. Isso é definido pelo acordo feito previamente.
Se tudo ocorrer bem, assim que Adriano Calango resolver se mudar e Beto Lagartixa não tiver nenhuma objeção quanto a isso, ambos voltam para o contrato previamente feito e concordam quanto aos montantes que cada um receberá de volta. Dividem o preço da taxa entre si e cada um tem sua propriedade de volta.
Digamos que Adriano Calango não cumpriu com parte do contrato, atrasando o pagamento de alguns meses. Por outro lado, Beto Lagartixa também não cumpriu parte de seu acordo, deixando de fornecer serviços prescritos no contrato como segurança de condomínio e um elevador funcional. O caso então é levado aos árbitros. Célsio Jacaré argumenta a favor de Adriano Calango, questionando Beto Lagartixa sobre os serviços não prestados pelo mesmo e que claramente no contrato estavam previstos como parte inclusa no custo do aluguel. Danilo Crocodio retruca sobre a inadimplência de Adriano Calango, defendendo seu amigo/cliente, Beto Lagartixa. Eduardo Cobra, ao ouvir calmamente todos os argumentos de ambos os lados, então decide: - Adriano Calango foi inadimplente por três meses. Portanto terá uma multa de 35% sobre seu patrimônio - Beto Lagartixa terá uma multa de 25% sobre o seu patrimônio, pois não prestou o serviço com a devida qualidade - O restante do patrimônio será devolvido para seus respectivos donos - Dos valores da multa: - 90% será dividido entre cada árbitro. 30% para cada - Os 10% restantes serão queimados em taxas para os mineradores
Note que não foi usado nenhum meio coercitivo para solucionar o caso e penalizar os réus em seus devidos processos. Tudo foi aceito voluntariamente previamente, inclusive da parte dos árbitros. As multas aplicadas são meramente ilustrativas. Em um cenário real, tais penalidades seriam acordadas previamente e na falta das mesmas, todas as partes discutiriam até entrar em um acordo quanto a decisão. É totalmente plausível que, por exemplo, a penalidade fosse queimar todo o valor das multas em taxas para os mineradores, se assim todos aceitassem. O mecanismo de mineração nesse cenário também se torna um possivel meio de aplicação de força em um julgamento.
Só esta parte do ecosistema já faz boa parte dos casos de uso da justiça estatal obsoleta, dando maior descentralização, privacidade e soberania para os indivíduos.
Nesse cenário temos novamente a "utopia" libertária sendo definitivamente aplicada. Não há dedo do Estado no meio, todos os contratos foram previamente acordados entre as partes e não houve violação ao PNA (Princípio da Não Agressão). Todo o processo foi estritamente voluntário desde o começo.
WoT: A digitalização da reputação
Quem vê o projeto a primeira vista, pode pensar:
Ah Calango. Legal essa solução com bitcoin e tal. Mas eu vou sempre precisar gastar meus bitcoins toda vida que fizer um contrato? Tem contratos que isso não vale a pena!
Sim. Isso é verdade. Tanto que foi genialmente um caso citado pelo nostr:npub12mllp29adf2fw0eeahmseczcu3y4625qyn3v4uwfvkpzlshnmj3qs903ju. Há casos que os valores são tão pequenos que não compensa criar todo um documento de contrato para, por exemplo, comprar um livro ou algo do tipo. Ou, algumas vezes, o próprio indivíduo não quer gastar dinheiro ou travar valores para manter esse contrato. Mas não é o único caso de uso. Lembre-se que mesmo com colaterais aplicados, normalmente as pessoas não gostam de entrar em decisões judiciais ou confusões em geral. Idealmente todos querem traçar o caminho feliz da história. Então, mesmo para firmar contratos com colateral em Bitcoin usando o BJP, é plausível que um usuário queira pesquisar o "histórico" de outro usuário na rede para averiguar se é uma boa ideia ou não se envolver com aquele indivíduo em específico.
Naturalmente o ser humano já pratica esse cálculo de reputação e analisa o ambiente a sua volta para entender a hierarquia e reputação dele e de outros indivíduos em um grupo. Somos seres sociais e naturalmente na nossa cabeça já montamos uma espécie de rede de confiança na nossa cabeça com a imagem que formamos de um indivíduo X ou Y com base na nossa comunidade. Hierarquia, lideranças, influência, são características naturais do ser humano.
A partir desse cenário, surgiu a ideia de gerar uma solução para uma melhor visualização da reputação entre usuários do protocolo. O objetivo é ser primariamente um repositório com avaliações de usuários sobre outros usuários, os classificando positivamente ou negativamente e informando se houve ou não negócios/fechamento de contratos com o mesmo. A ideia é realmente simples e o objetivo é deixar o protocolo aberto para as mais diversas formas de interpretação desses dados. Seja com modelos matemáticos, visualização e interpretação pessoal ou até mesmo o uso de inteligência artificial para o auxiliar o usuário a tomar suas decisões.
WoT: o nome é conhecido, mas a proposta é diferente
Veja que há uma diferença prática na WoT da PLS e outros projetos de WoT espalhados pela internet afora e pelo Nostr. A maioria dos projetos de WoT são para determinar se uma pessoa/chave privada é ou não relevante a partir da visão de outra chave privada. É o caso de serviços de WoT como o da Coracle.Social, Vertexlab.io e mais recentemente da nova implementação de WoT Relays. Serviços como estes tem o objetivo de reduzir ou eliminar spam e falsidade ideológica (fakes), assim como oferecer uma espécie de algoritmo de recomendação, similar ao que é feito em redes sociais como YouTube e Instagram.
Note que em nenhum momento o objetivo da WoT da PLS é definir por A + B quem é ou deixa de ser confiável ou inconfiável, afinal, confiança é algo estritamente relativo. Nenhum projeto pode ter a audácia de tentar classificar pessoas como confiáveis ou inconfiáveis a nível de estabelecimento de contratos. A PLS entende isso e respeita esse caráter subjetivo da confiança. De igual maneira, nunca foi o objetivo de qualquer projeto de WoT sério fazer algo similar ao que é feito em países como a China, onde pessoas têm alguma espécie de "crédito social". Fique tranquilo. Nosso objetivo não é tornar os episódios distópicos de Black Mirror em realidade 🤣
Visualização em grafo: uma proposta elegante
Desde que entrei de cabeça no projeto da PLS, uma coisa que veio sendo falada nas reuniões era sobre a criação de novas ferramentas para visualizar a rede de formas mais intuitivas, que ajudassem os usuários ao julgar pessoas como confiáveis ou não para estabelecer contratos, e ao mesmo tempo, resolvessem o problema de UX que é uma simples tabela com avaliações entre usuários da rede. A tendência é, a partir do momento que o projeto comece a ter adesão, que o número de notas cresça exponencialmente, e com isso, a visualização da reputação dos indivíduos seja pouco intuitiva. Uma solução apresentada para este problema foi a criação de um frontend com grafos, ou melhor, a criação de uma forma de visualização da sua rede de confiança em particular. A partir disso, foi gerada uma bounty no projeto para a implementação desta solução, a qual eu orgulhosamente estou construindo (na verdade está pronta para uso. Mas ainda quero melhorar algumas coisas). O objetivo é simples: dar ao usuário mais uma forma de contemplar os dados da WoT, de forma mais particular e intuitiva. Facilitando a tomada de decisões.
A natureza da confiança humana em sintonia com a tecnologia
Bolhas virtuais, vilarejos e mineiros
Uma possível crítica que o projeto possa receber é a possibilidade de ataques de spam ou cancelamento em massa corroer ou inviabilizar a utilidade do protocolo. Ataque Sybil também. Entretanto, são espantalhos até bem inocentes quanto ao projeto em questão.
Como havia mencionado anteriormente, a base do projeto em si é propositalmente simples e não se propõe a dar uma solução definitiva para a visualização dos dados postos no protocolo. A tabela de avaliações hoje existente no site da WoT da PLS é apenas uma das inúmeras formas de interpretar estes dados. E uma forma efetiva para problemas como esse, é justamente a implementação de uma visualização por grafo, onde os usuários podem ver redes de confiança sendo tracejadas a partir do ponto de vista específico de uma npub em particular.
Aqui a lógica de um antigo ditado é aplicada:
"O amigo do meu amigo é meu amigo"
Da mesma maneira também podemos formular outras afirmações como:
"O inimigo do meu inimigo é meu amigo"
"O inimigo do meu amigo é meu inimigo"
"O amigo do meu inimigo é meu inimigo"
Se tais derivações fazem sentido para você ou não, não cabe a mim dizer. Novamente, confiança é intrinsecamente algo de caráter subjetivo. Vai de cada um decidir quem é ou não confiável. É justamente por isso que estou implementando diversos filtros de avaliações no meu fork da PLS.
Na prática é o velho jogo de política de sempre. Como bem citado uma vez pelo filósofo e youtuber Platinho, ao citar Carl Schmitt:
Isso também se reflete na cultura mineira (e rural do Brasil em geral), por exemplo. O clássico "cê é fi de quem?". Perceba que essa é uma forma de procurar por um caminho de confiança já estabelecido. Quem tem parente em interior sabe, que uma das coisas mais comuns é os mais velhos, seja ou tio, mãe ou avô perguntar sobre um amigo que você leve para o ambiente familiar (meu filho, esse seu amigo é filho de quem?) É algo até instintivo do ser humano procurar por rotas de confiança e trabalhar de certa forma com o QI (Quem Indica). Goste você ou não, é assim que a natureza humana se expressa e é assim que a dinâmica social é montada.
Vendo que é natural a formação de bolhas, não é uma boa ideia em si interpretar os dados da WoT da PLS simplesmente de uma forma numérica bruta. A melhor forma é fazer uma abordagem individual, com base na sua rede de confiança ao invés de puramente o número de avaliações positivas e negativas.
O grafo da PLS busca justamente tornar mais intuitivo, prático e sistemático essa pesquisa natural. Essa implementação é além de uma ferramenta, uma forma de expressão social muito forte, tanto em âmbito social quanto jurídico, à medida em que a dinâmica social e jurídica se entrelaçam no tecido social.
Adriano Calango ataca novamente
Para um exemplo prático, voltemos a falar dele, Adriano Calango.
Adriano Calango conhece a WoT da PLS já faz um tempo e já avaliou todos os seus parceiros comerciais e amigos aos quais tem laços de confiança já firmes e maduros. Ele procura alguém para alugar uma casa Rolante, RS. ´Ele vê alguns perfis de síndicos no Nostr que moram na mesma cidade que ele com casas disponíveis para alugar. Mas quer ter uma noção que não está se metendo em encrenca ou lidando com algum síndico chato que inferniza a vida dos inquilinos.
Dito isso, ele acessa a WoT da PLS e vai na página do grafo. Percebe que seu amigo Bruno Jabuti, ao qual já havia avaliado positivamente anteriormente, avaliou positivamente um professor de Jiu-jitsu, conhecido como Carlos Camaleão. Que além de ser avaliado positivamente por Bruno Jabuti, recebeu várias avaliações positivas de outros usuários conhecidos de Adriano Calango. Carlos Camaleão, por sua vez, avaliou positivamente um síndico da região chamado Diego Iguana. Na descrição Carlos Camaleão descreve como em todo o tempo que ele foi inquilino de Diego Iguana sempre foi bem tratado e como seu condomínio estava sempre bem organizado e era cuidadosamente zelado, e como sempre que havia alguma falha de infraestrutura, o problema era rapidamente resolvido. Adriano Calango considera firmar um contrato de aluguel com Diego Iguana.
Assim, temos o seguinte caminho de confiança estabelecido:
Adriano Calango 👍 -> Bruno Jabuti 👍 -> Carlos Camaleão 👍 -> Diego Iguana
Passando-se alguns dias, Adriano Calango é abordado por Denis Jacaré em uma DM no Nostr oferecendo aluguel baratíssimo e com poucas exigências. Denis Jacaré foi informado que Adriano Calango estava a procura de um imóvel novo para residir. Adriano Calango, então, pega a chave Nostr de Denis Jacaré e joga na parte de "target" na página do grafo na PLS WoT. Ele percebe que Denis Jacaré tem várias avaliações negativas de inúmeros usuários, mas não consegue ainda bater o martelo quanto a confiabilidade de Denis Jacaré. Ele então insere sua própria chave Nostr no campo de "main rater" e vê que tem um caminho tracejado entre a sua npub e a de Denis Jacaré. Pra sua surpresa, ele vê que Carlos Camaleão deu a Denis Jacaré uma avaliação negativa, por conta que no período em que sua filha era inquilina do mesmo, prestou um péssimo serviço. O condomínio vivia com o elevador quebrado, a portaria muitas vezes não funcionava e tinha falta de luz constante. Denis Jacaré não tomava providẽncia nenhuma quanto a isso e ainda fazia questão de causa intriga entre os inquilinos e tentar jogar uns contra os outros. Adriano Calango, então percebe que Denis Jacaré não é confiável com base na rede de confiança definida por Adriano Calango.
Nesse caso temos o seguinte circuito estabelecido:
Adriano Calango 👍 -> Bruno Jabuti 👍 -> Carlos Camaleão 👎 -> Denis Jacaré
Adriano Calango aborda Diego Iguana para estabelecer um contrato. Agora é a vez de Diego Iguana pesquisar o histórico de Adriano Calango. Pois ele quer manter a comunidade de seu condomínio saudável e não deseja aceitar inquilinos baderneiros ou barraqueiros.
Diego Iguana faz então o caminho inverso de Adriano Calango, pondo a npub de Adriano Calango como "target" e a própria npub como "main rater". Daí Diego Iguana consegue ver que Carlos camaleão deu uma nota positiva para Bruno Jabuti e Bruno Jabuti deu uma nota positiva para Adriano Calango. Os dois então fecham negócio.
Neste exemplo, o grafo da WoT da PLS serviu como uma "bússola de confiança" para Adriano Calango e Diego Iguana firmarem um contrato no BJP com seus árbitros e advogados.

2025-06-02 21:24:34The power of Austrian economics lies not just in providing answers, but in asking the right questions. By offering a coherent framework for analyzing human action and social phenomena, Austrian economics transforms complex social science problems into tractable questions. One such problem is the Hobbesian myth of the state of nature, where life is described as "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." By applying the Austrian method, we can gain new insights into this classic dilemma and reformulate it in a way that highlights the economic underpinnings of security and conflict.
The Relevance of Austrian Economics
Austrian economics is unique in its focus on human action, subjective value, and the role of entrepreneurship in market processes. Unlike other schools of thought, Austrian economics does not rely on mathematical models or statistical analysis. Instead, it uses logical deduction and praxeology—the science of human action—to understand economic phenomena. This approach makes Austrian economics particularly suited for analyzing complex social issues, such as the state of nature, because it provides a clear and consistent framework for thinking about human behavior and social interactions.
Key Principles of the Austrian Method
Methodological Individualism: Austrian economics starts with the individual and their actions. All social phenomena are ultimately the result of individual choices and interactions.
Subjective Value Theory: Value is subjective and determined by the individual. What matters is not the objective characteristics of a good or service, but how an individual subjectively values it.
Marginal Utility: The utility of a good or service is determined by its marginal, not total, use. People make decisions based on the additional benefit they expect to gain from a specific action.
Time Preference: Individuals have a time preference, which means they value goods and services available now more than those available in the future. This preference drives savings, investment, and interest rates.
Entrepreneurship and Discovery:
Entrepreneurs play a crucial role in the market process by discovering and exploiting opportunities for profit. They drive innovation and adapt to changing circumstances.
Process and Change: Markets are dynamic processes, not static equilibria. Change is constant, and the market is always in a state of flux, adapting to new information and circumstances.
Applying the Austrian Method to the Hobbesian Myth
Now, let's apply these principles to the Hobbesian state of nature and identify the economic problems, actors, needs, and potential goods:
Actors:
Individuals: Self-interested agents seeking to secure their lives, liberties, and properties. Potential Security Providers: Entrepreneurs who can offer security services, such as protection agencies or private militias.
Needs:
Security: The primary need is for security, which includes protection from violence, theft, and other harms. Order: Individuals also need a degree of order and predictability in their interactions to engage in productive activities.
Economic Goods:
Security Services: These can include protection, surveillance, dispute resolution, and enforcement of agreements. Security services are subjectively valued by individuals who seek to avoid the risks and costs associated with insecurity. Information: Accurate and timely information about threats and opportunities is a valuable good. Entrepreneurs can provide this by gathering and selling intelligence.
Conclusion:
In this analysis, we have demonstrated how the Austrian economic method can be applied to a classic social science problem: the Hobbesian state of nature. By identifying the actors, their needs, and the economic goods that can be provided, we have outlined the economic underpinnings of security and conflict in a stateless society. The power of the Austrian method lies in its ability to break down complex social issues into manageable components and analyze them using a consistent, logical framework. This approach encourages critical thinking and helps individuals arrive at their own conclusions, rather than relying on the pre-existing ideas of others. Whether the Hobbesian myth is true or false, the real value lies in learning how to think about these problems in a structured and coherent manner. So, the next time you encounter a wicked problem, remember that the Austrian method can be a valuable tool in your analytical toolkit

via me
I think we'll look back at last weekend as one of the most pivotal points in human history. Ukraine's Operation Spider Web is one of the more shocking things I've seen in terms of military operations in my life. It validates something that many bitcoiners, many cypherpunks, and many prescient individuals have been talking about for decades now at this point, which is asymmetric drone warfare.
The Sovereign Individual is a book that many bitcoiners have talked about throughout the years due to how prescient it was in terms of the inevitable emergence of a digital currency outside the control of central banks and governments. The book was written in the mid-90s, so the fact that the two authors were able to predict that something like bitcoin would emerge less than 20 years after writing the book is pretty incredible. However, digital currencies leveraging cryptography were not the sole focus of the book. Another portion of the book was dedicated to the idea of asymmetric drone warfare and its effects on society overall.
It seems pretty clear today that this is another call from The Sovereign Individual that is coming true. Obviously, unless you've been living under a rock, you've noticed that Ukraine has been using drones in the battlefield to target strategic Russian assets and individual soldiers over the last year. The amount of battlefield videos I've seen of Russian soldiers running from autonomous drones that are hunting them down has been increasing significantly over the last six months. The footage is truly harrowing. It is a death that I wouldn't wish on anybody. With Operation Spider Web Ukraine has increased the stakes of this type of drone warfare by going deep into Russian territory and targeting strategic long-range bombers, some of which had the ability to deploy nuclear warheads. This is sure to incite a reaction from Russia. No one will be surprised if, by the end of the week, Russia has started a shock and awe campaign that goes deep into Ukrainian territory in retaliation for the kamikaze drone strikes on their long-range aircraft. I pray for peace and a quick resolution to this war, and every other war for that matter.
I didn't come here to pontificate and give my thoughts on this particular war, but I would like to focus on this new tactic of war and what it means for military budgets moving forward. The Sovereign Individual laid it out clearly when they wrote in the 1990s that at some point in the future autonomous drones would be leveraged in the battlefield and prove to be asymmetric because of the fact that they are extremely cheap to produce. When you compare the price it cost to produce one of these drones to the price of the equipment they are destroying, things get pretty crazy. With tens of thousands of dollars of drone equipment the Ukrainian army destroyed tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars worth of long-range missile aircraft. And it did so without putting any Ukrainian military personnel in harm's way. Directly, at least.
When you consider the return on investment of deploying these drones compared to sending in soldiers, tanks, and your own aircraft, it becomes pretty obvious that this is going to quickly become the most logical way to fight a war moving forward. The question that remains is how quickly do other governments recognize this and implement it into their own defense strategies? As an American looking at our military budget, which is quickly approaching $1 trillion in annual spend, I'm forced to question whether or not most of that money is simply being wasted, considering the fact that we live in a time where these asymmetric battlefield strategies now exist. Why build new fighter jets when a Somali pirate, or nefarious individual for that matter, could use a $200 drone to destroy it in a matter of seconds with no threat of direct physical harm?
I'm no military expert, but if I were at the helm of the Defense Department, I would seriously be forcing those below me to focus a ton of effort on this problem and create plans to make sure that we are sufficiently protected from these risks. The only way to protect from these risks is to build the capabilities yourself. When it comes to the risk reward from a defense tech investment perspective I think a majority of the effort should be focused on defensive drone technologies and capabilities.
With that being said, it does seem like the US military is privy to this asymmetric reality that we currently live in. Defense contracts with Andruil make this pretty clear. Andruil is certainly ahead of the curve when it comes to autonomous drone warfare and defense against it. As an American, even though I don't like war, or the military industrial complex, knowing that the military is working with companies like Andruil does give me some comfort. However, the other side of that coin is that it is very unnerving when you consider that the government creating these public-private partnerships could lead to some Orwellian outcomes here at home. It may make some of you feel uncomfortable, but I believe the ideal scenario is that any individual has access to these types of defensive drone technologies in the future. The end goal being to create a nuclear game theoretical outcome where violence is reduced because one always has to assume that anyone they intend to attack has access to sufficient and formidable defensive technologies.
It's truly scary times we're living in as we transition further into the Digital Age. Part of the reason that I've dedicated my whole life to bitcoin is because I truly do believe that if you fix the money, you can fix the world. That is not to say that kinetic wars or physical violence will not exist in the future. It certainly will. But I believe sound money and open access to these systems and tools creates conditions which are much more suitable for cooperation and less so for conflict.
Multi-Signature Bitcoin Custody Is Replacing Single-Point Solutions
Jesse Gilger made a compelling case for why multi-signature Bitcoin custody represents the future of secure storage. He explained how Gannett Trust's approach ensures "not all of the keys are going to be at any one entity," fundamentally reducing the honeypot risk that plagues centralized custodians. This distributed model means no single point of failure can compromise your Bitcoin, whether through hacking, internal fraud, or regulatory seizure.
"I was on the list. I got the email. 'You were affected.'" - Jesse Gilger
Jesse's firsthand experience with the Coinbase data breach drives home why centralized custody is fundamentally flawed. While Coinbase holds keys for 10 of 12 Bitcoin ETFs, smart money is moving toward multi-institutional setups where Gannett holds a key, Unchained holds a key, and a third party holds a key. This alignment with Bitcoin's decentralized ethos isn't just philosophically pure—it's pragmatically superior for protecting generational wealth.

2025-06-02 21:03:17Key Takeaways
Dr. Jack Kruse returns in this fiery episode to expose what he alleges is a coordinated campaign by Big Pharma, technocrats, and global elites to control public health narratives and financial systems through manipulated health policies and propaganda. He accuses figures like Calli and Casey Means of fronting a compromised "Maha Movement," backed by A16Z, Big Tech, and the World Economic Forum, with ambitions to embed themselves into U.S. health policy and bioweapons programs. Kruse details his covert efforts to expose these connections, claiming they led to the withdrawal of Casey Means' Surgeon General nomination, and warns of a looming biotechnocratic surveillance state where mRNA vaccines act as bioweapons to enforce compliance. Urging Bitcoiners to expand their fight for sovereignty beyond finance into healthcare and biology, Kruse argues that the true war is over time sovereignty—not just monetary freedom—and that protecting children from vaccine harms is now the most urgent front in this escalating battle.
Best Quotes
"Bitcoin is worthless if you have no time."
"We’re not playing games here. This is to the death."
"Big Pharma is just the drug dealer. The real boss is the Department of Defense and DARPA."
"The real battle in D.C. isn’t left vs. right, it’s Rothschilds and Rockefellers vs. the technocrats."
"First principle Bitcoiners need to become first principle decentralizers of life itself."
Conclusion
This episode delivers a provocative call to action from Dr. Jack Kruse, who warns that the fight for sovereignty must go beyond finance to confront what he sees as the immediate threat of centralized bio-surveillance through mRNA vaccines. Blending insider claims with health activism, Kruse urges Bitcoiners and the public to recognize that true freedom requires decentralizing not only money but also healthcare and information systems, arguing that without protecting biological sovereignty, Bitcoin’s promise of liberty will be meaningless if people are left physically, mentally, or politically compromised.

(00:00) me, Larry Leard, those kind of Bitcoiners, the people that are out there that have money, like they're looking to take us out. You need to know a little bit about the back history that I don't think I've talked about anywhere on any other podcast. Rick Callie is linked to the current administration is through Susie Watts.
(00:17) They both were working at Mercury PR basically is the frontman for propaganda for Big Farm. Basically, who pays you? You become their [ __ ] We're not playing games here. This is to the death. This is the biggest issue facing Maha now. It's not Froot Loops. It's not red dye. But the messenger RA job can drop you like Demar Handler.
(00:40) Can end your career like JJ Watt. Dr. Jack Cruz, welcome back to the show. Thank you, sir, for having me. Well, thank you for being here. I mean, you're making a lot of noise around a topic that I wasn't well aware of. I'm not going to lie. I think I got duped by or we'll find out if I actually got duped by the meanses. Cali means was coming in last year talking big about Maja getting the food correct.
(01:15) Um, basically telling the story of him being a lobbyist and understanding how corrupt the food system is. And we talked about it last time we were on two months ago. this sort of maha movement has shifted towards focusing on preventative care particularly in diets and you were on the Danny Danny Jones show late last year with Cali means uh sort of pressuring him to admit that the vaccine should be pulled off the market and he did not did not bite and would not budge on that and now his sister Casey has been appointed to surgeon general and
(01:50) this is something Let me let me tell you a little bit about that because you need to know a little bit about the back history that I don't think I've talked about anywhere on any other podcast. She was going to be named surgeon general uh back then. Just so you know that I knew it and I knew quite a bit of other things.
(02:16) So what was my goal? I knew um that Cali and Casey were tied to big tech. They were tied specifically, which you'll be interested in, A16Z, the shitcoiners extraordinaire, and they were also tied to the World Economic Forum through the book deal. Um, so my goal at that time as part of the person that was big in the mob like, and Marty, I don't know if you know this back part of the story.
(02:46) Maha begins not with Casey and Cali and Bobby Kennedy. It began with me, Bobby, and Rick Rubin on Rick's podcast the day that I told RFK Jr. that SV40 was in the Fiser Jabs. Mhm. And that's when Bobby found out that I wrote the law for Blly for a constitutional amendment for medical freedom. And he asked me to use four pages of the law.
(03:13) And Blly cleared me to do that. And then Aaron Siri, who was Bobby's attorney and working with a lot of the stuff that Bobby does with vaccines and I can Aaron contacted me. So just so you're clear, this is two and a half years ago. This is before this is a year previous to Casey and Cali coming on the scene. And I was always behind the scenes.
(03:37) I was not really interested in getting involved um in the [ __ ] show. But when I saw these two show up, the way they showed up and when I heard Cali actually say on a podcast that, you know, he was the modus operande of the Maha movement and he's the one that brought Bobby and Trump together.
(04:02) I said, "That's where I draw a [ __ ] line." I'm like, "Uh-uh. These guys, I know exactly what they're going to do. I see the game plan. they're going to use a shell game and I needed to have proof before you can come out and be a savage. You got to have proof. So, I hired three former Secret Service agents to actually do a very deep dive.
(04:24) We're talking about the kind of dive that you would get uh if you were going for a Supreme Court nomination. Okay? It cost me a lot of money. And why did I think it was important? Because as you know, you know, as a Bitcoiner, you just saw the big scam that happened with Maya Paribu down in Cerninam that happened after.
(04:49) Well, when I hired these guys, when all of my research that I had done was confirmed by them, I said, "Okay, now we need to go on a podcast very publicly and we need to put Cali's feet to the fire." Why? because I knew and he did not know that I knew this prior to the podcast. Uh that his sister was going to be nominated for surgeon general then.
(05:14) And because he didn't know and you you'll be able to confirm this or the savages in your audience can confirm this with Danny Jones. Do you know that Cali cancelled the podcast to do it into uh February? Yeah. Well, I think it was April of 25 because he didn't want to give anybody the time and day.
(05:37) So, what did I start doing? I started posting some of the information back in November that I found and the links to the Wjikis and the links to Bin, the links to A16Z. I didn't didn't give a ton of the information, but let's just put it this way. enough to make Callie and Cassie scream a little bit that people in DC started to read all my tweets.
(06:04) And then he called Danny up and said, "Danny, I want to do this podcast immediately." And I knew the reason why. Cuz I was baiting him to come so I could hit him with the big stuff. Why? Because you have to understand these two kids, you know, tied to the Rockefellers. They're tied to the banking elite.
(06:26) They're tied to the World Economics Form. Rick Callie is linked to the current administration is through Susie Watts. They both were working at Mercury PR and uh Mercury PR uh basically is the frontman for propaganda for Big Farm and everybody knows that, but not everybody knew that Cali worked for them.
(06:50) And you know the story that he sold all you guys, how he fooled you. And I consider you a smart guy, a savage, it's not shocking how he fooled you because he said as a um a lobbyist basically who pays you, you become their [ __ ] to to be quite honest and you'll say things that will make sense. Everybody in creation who's going to watch your podcast knows that all the things that Casey and Cali have said have been said literally for 30, 40, 50 years going all the way back to probably Anel Peas about diet and exercise.
(07:25) Everybody [ __ ] knows that. It's not new. They just decided to repackage it up and then they actually got in Bobby's ear about it. And when I released all this stuff, did Bobby know what I had? Yeah, he knew. And did the people in DC all what all their antennas up about this issue? Who was most pissed off with Uncle Jack back then? Susie [ __ ] Walls.
(07:56) Why? because those two are her babies that were going to be the amber that Susie Cassidy Cassidy Big Farmer were going to place around um Bobby Kennedy once he got confirmed. And that's why for the savages that are listening to this podcast, you go back and look at Nicole's tweet from, you know, I guess it was about four or five days ago that this didn't make sense.
(08:20) Why? because I gave the data directly to the people in DC behind the scenes of what was really going on and because it was so explosive. That's the reason Susie had to not give the job to Casey Means. She had to wait till the heat died down. So they elevated Janette and Janette bas -

2025-06-03 02:09:10The money you're not making in crypto is the money you're losing to confusion. Crypto marketing isn't just about hype—it's about translating complexity into clarity that drives real community action.
When marketing crypto projects, start with the fundamentals: blockchain is simply a secure digital ledger that records transactions without middlemen. Bitcoin offers limited supply (21 million coins) while Ethereum provides programmable money through smart contracts. These aren't just buzzwords—they're the foundation your audience needs.
Community building thrives on transparency. Create educational content that explains wallets (hot vs cold, custodial vs non-custodial) and security practices. The most successful crypto communities aren't built on price speculation but shared understanding of the technology's real-world applications like cross-border payments, decentralized finance, and digital ownership.
Current trends show institutional money flowing in ($9.3B in 2021) while countries explore adoption. Focus marketing on utility rather than get-rich-quick promises. The projects winning the community game emphasize governance tokens that give members actual voting power in project decisions.
The biggest misconception to avoid? That crypto is just for speculation. The technology behind digital assets is revolutionizing finance by making it more accessible, efficient and equitable. Your marketing should highlight how your project solves real problems, not just how tokens might moon.
Want to build a lasting crypto community? Educate first, speculate second. The projects that survive bear markets are those whose communities understand not just what they're buying, but why it matters.

2025-06-03 01:23:09Your crypto wallet isn't just a digital piggy bank—it's your financial fortress in a $3 trillion battlefield where hackers deploy AI-powered attacks daily. While most see blockchain's transparency as revolutionary, criminals see it as an opportunity map. The immutable nature that makes crypto trustworthy also makes security non-negotiable: once your assets are gone, they're permanently gone.
Smart investors now implement tiered security systems: cold storage vaults for long-term holdings, hardware wallets with multi-signature protection for medium-term assets, and limited funds in hot wallets for active trading. The most sophisticated users leverage blockchain analytics to monitor suspicious transactions and employ specialized forensic techniques when things go wrong.
Don't wait for a hack to take security seriously. The difference between keeping and losing your crypto often comes down to basic practices: using hardware-based 2FA, limiting API permissions, and recognizing that no urgent request for your credentials is ever legitimate. Remember, in crypto, you're not just an investor—you're your own security team.

Michael Saylor Presents The 21 Ways to Wealth at Bitcoin 2025Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, took the stage at Bitcoin 2025 delivering a keynote titled “21 Ways to Wealth.” He stated: “This speech is for you. I’ve traveled the world and told countries, institutional investors, and even the disembodied spirits of our children’s children why they need Bitcoin. This is for every individual, every family, every small business. It’s for everybody.”
He began with clarity. “The first way to wealth is clarity,” he said. “Clarity comes the moment you realize Bitcoin is capital—perfected capital, programmable capital, incorruptible capital.” For Saylor, every thoughtful individual on Earth will ultimately seek such pristine capital, and every AI system will prefer it as well.
The second path is conviction. Bitcoin, he said, will appreciate faster than every other asset, because it’s engineered for performance. “It’s going to grow faster than real estate or collectibles. It is the most efficient store of value in human history.”
The third way is courage. “If you’re going to get rich on Bitcoin, you need courage,” he warned. “Wealth favors those who embrace intelligent monetary risk. Some people will get left behind. Others will juggle it. But the bold will feed the fire—sell your bonds, buy Bitcoin. An extraordinary explosion of value is coming.”
Fourth comes cooperation. “You are more powerful if you have the full support of your family. Your children have time and potential. The secret is transferring capital into their hands. Families that move in unity are unstoppable.”
The fifth is capability. “Master AI,” he said. “In 2025, everything you can imagine is at your fingertips—wisdom, analysis, creativity. Ask AI, argue with it, use it. You can become a super genius. Don’t put your ego first—put your interests first. Your family will thank you.”
Saylor’s sixth way to wealth is composition: construct legal entities that scale your strategy and protect your assets. “Ask the AI and figure it out. You can work hard, or you can work smart. This year, everyone should be operating like the most sophisticated millionaire family office.”
The seventh is citizenship. Choose your economic nexus carefully—“domicile where sovereignty respects your freedom,” he said. “This isn’t just about this year—it’s about this century.”
Eighth is civility. “Respect the natural power structures of the world. Respect the force of nature,” he explained. “If you want to generate wealth in the Bitcoin universe, don’t fight unnecessarily. Find common ground. Inflation and distraction are your enemies.”
Ninth is corporation. “A well-structured corporation is the most powerful wealth engine on Earth. Families are powerful. Partnerships are even more powerful. But corporations can scale globally. What is your vehicle? What is your path?”
The tenth way is focus. “Just because you can do a thing doesn’t mean you should,” he warned. “If you invest in Bitcoin, there’s a 90% chance it will succeed over five years. Don’t confuse ambition with accomplishment. Come up with a strategy—and stick to it.”
The eleventh is equity. “Share your opportunities with investors who will share your risk,” he said, pointing to MicroStrategy’s own rise from $10 million to a $5 billion market cap by aligning with equity partners who believed in the Bitcoin mission.
The twelfth is credit. “There are people in the world who are afraid of the future—they want small yield, certainty. Offer that. Give creditors security in return for capital. Convert their fear into fuel and turn risk into yield by investing in Bitcoin.”
The thirteenth is compliance. “Create the best company you can within the rules of your market. Learn the rules of the road. If you know them, you can drive faster. You can scale legally and sustainably.”
The fourteenth way is capitalization. “Velocity compounds wealth,” Saylor said. “Raise and reinvest capital as fast and as often as you can. The faster your money moves into productive Bitcoin strategies, the more it multiplies.”
Fifteenth is communication. “Speak with candor. Act with transparency. And repeat your message often,” he urged. “Creating wealth with Bitcoin is simple—but only if people understand what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.”
Sixteenth is commitment. “Don’t allow yourself to be distracted,” he said. “Don’t chase your own ideas. Don’t feed the trolls. Stay committed to Bitcoin. It’s the greatest idea in the world. The world probably doesn’t care what you think—but it will care when you win.”
The Seventeenth way is competence. “You’re not competing with noise—you’re competing with someone who is laser-focused, who executes flawlessly,” he said. “You must deliver consistent, precise, and reliable performance. That’s how you win.”
The Eighteenth is adaptation. “Circumstances change. Every structure you trust today will eventually fail. A wise person is prepared to abandon their baggage and adjust plans when needed. Rigidity is ruin.”
Nineteenth is evolution. “Build on your core strengths. You don’t need to start over—you need to level up. Leverage what you already do best, and expand it through Bitcoin and advanced technologies.”
Twentieth is advocacy. “Inspire others to walk the Bitcoin path,” he said. “Become an evangelist for economic freedom. Show others what this revolution really means. Show them the way.”
Finally, the twenty-first way is generosity. “When you’re successful—and you will be successful—spread happiness. Share security. Deliver hope. That light inside you will shine. And others will be drawn to it.”
As he ended, Saylor smiled and quoted the very origin of it all:
“It might make sense to get some, in case it catches on.” – Satoshi.
In Michael Saylor’s worldview, Bitcoin is not a get-rich-quick scheme—it’s the ultimate long-term play. It is the foundation of generational wealth, the engine of personal and institutional freedom, and the tool for those bold enough to lead humanity into a more sovereign, secure future.

2025-06-03 01:21:59The Privacy Paradox: How Zero Knowledge Proofs Revolutionize Decentralized Governance
Imagine proving you're trustworthy without revealing a single personal detail. That's the magic of Zero Knowledge Proofs—the cryptographic innovation transforming how we interact with digital systems while keeping our data truly private.
ZKPs allow you to verify information without exposing sensitive data. Think of it like proving you know where Waldo is by showing someone Waldo through a small hole in paper covering the rest of the image. You've proven knowledge without revealing the location.
In decentralized governance, this technology is revolutionary. Traditional systems force us to overshare personal information, creating massive data honeypots vulnerable to breaches. ZKPs flip this model by enabling selective disclosure—proving you're eligible to vote without revealing your identity, or demonstrating compliance without exposing financial details.
The technology comes in different flavors. zk-SNARKs (Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-interactive Arguments of Knowledge) offer compact proofs but require trusted setup. zk-STARKs provide quantum resistance without trusted setup but with larger proof sizes. Both enable privacy-preserving verification that's transforming blockchain applications.
Real-world implementations are already here: private voting systems, identity verification without data exposure, cross-chain asset transfers, and scalable transaction processing. Projects like Zcash, Polygon zkEVM, and Aztec Network demonstrate how ZKPs can make blockchain systems both private and efficient.
The future looks even more promising. ZK-enabled machine learning could allow training on sensitive data without exposure. Autonomous worlds could create new digital experiences with cryptographic fog of war. Some even predict Nobel Peace Prizes for ZKP applications in nuclear disarmament verification or high-stakes negotiations.
As our digital lives become increasingly interconnected, the question isn't whether we need privacy—it's how we'll implement it. Zero Knowledge Proofs offer a compelling answer: trust through mathematics, not blind faith in institutions.
What sensitive information would you prefer to verify without revealing?

2025-06-03 01:20:19Blockchain isn't just code—it's the first computer that makes promises it can't break. Unlike traditional systems where humans have the final say, blockchain flips the script by putting immutable code in charge. This single innovation creates an entirely new economic paradigm where trust is built into the system itself, not granted by middlemen. Think of blockchain as a shared, tamper-proof notebook where everyone sees the same information, but no single person controls it. Bitcoin pioneered this as digital gold with its fixed 21 million supply cap, while Ethereum expanded the vision by adding programmable smart contracts—self-executing agreements that run exactly as written. Today's ecosystem spans DeFi (banking without banks), NFTs (truly ownable digital assets), DAOs (internet-native organizations), and Web3 (the ownership economy). The most surprising truth? Despite the technical complexity, blockchain's revolutionary impact comes from its simplicity: creating digital scarcity and true ownership in a world where everything can be infinitely copied. Ready to participate? Start with a secure wallet, explore on test networks before using real funds, and remember—in crypto, you're your own bank, with all the freedom and responsibility that entails.

2025-06-02 20:58:05Damus OpenSats Grant Q1 2025 Progress Report
This period of the Damus OpenSats grant has been productive, and encompasses the work our beta release of Notedeck. Since we sent our last report on January, this encompasses all the work after then.
Damus Notedeck
We released the Beta version of Notedeck, which has many new features:
Dave
We've added a new AI-powered nostr assistant, similar to Grok on X. We call him Dave.
Dave is integrated with tooling that allows it to query the local relay for posts and profiles:
Search
The beta release includes a fulltext search interface powered by nostrdb:
Zaps
You can now zap with NWC!
And More!
- GIFs!
- Add full screen images, add zoom & pan
- Introduce last note per pubkey feed (experimental)
- Allow multiple media uploads per selection
- Major Android improvements (still wip)
- Added notedeck app sidebar
- User Tagging
- Note truncation
- Local network note broadcast, broadcast notes to other notedeck notes while you're offline
- Mute list support (reading)
- Relay list support
- Ctrl-enter to send notes
- Added relay indexing (relay columns soon)
- Click hashtags to open hashtag timeline
Damus iOS
Work continued on the iOS side. While I was not directly involved in the work since the last report, I have been directing and managing its development.
What's new:
Coinos Wallet + Interface
We've partnered with coinos to enable a one-click, non-KYC lightning wallet!
We now have an NWC wallet interface, and we've re-enabled zaps as per the new appstore guidelines!
Now you can see all incoming and outgoing NWC transactions and start zapping right away.
Enhanced hellthread muting
Damus can now automatically mute hellthreads, instead of having to do that manually.
Drafts
We now locally persist note drafts so that they aren't lost on app restart!
Profile editing enhancements
We now have a profile picture editing tool so that profile pictures are optimized and optionally cropped
Conversations tab
We now have a conversations tab on user profiles, allowing you to see all of your past conversations with that person!
Enhanced push notifications
We've updated our push notifications to include profile pictures, and they are also now grouped by the thread that they came from.
And lots more!
Too many to list here, check out the full changelog
Nostrdb
nostrdb, the engine that powers notecrumbs, damus iOS, and notedeck, continued to improve:
Custom filters
We've added the ability to include custom filtering logic during any nostrdb query. Dave uses this to filter replies from kind1 results to keep the results small and to avoid doing post-processing.
Relay index + queries
There is a new relay index! Now when ingesting notes, you can include extra metadata such as where the note came from. You can use this index to quickly list all of the relays for a particular note, or for relay timelines.
NIP50 profile searches
To assist dave in searching for profiles, we added a new query plan for {kind:0, search:} queries to scan the profile search index.
How money was used
- relay.damus.io server costs
- Living expenses
Next quarter
We're making a strong push to get our Android version released, so that is the main focus for me.

2025-06-02 20:40:161. Mosquitoes Danger: Although small, mosquitoes are the deadliest animals on Earth due to the diseases they transmit, such as malaria, dengue fever, and Zika virus, causing millions of deaths annually.
2. Box Jellyfish Danger: Found in the waters of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, its tentacles contain toxins that can cause heart failure in just a few minutes. It is considered one of the most venomous creatures in the world.
3. Saltwater Crocodile Danger: The largest living reptile, saltwater crocodiles are apex predators capable of killing and eating almost any animal, including humans. They are aggressive and can attack from the water without warning.
4. African Elephant Danger: While usually peaceful, African elephants can be extremely dangerous when threatened or provoked. They are capable of charging at speeds up to 25 miles per hour, with enough force to kill.
5. Cape Buffalo Danger: Known for being unpredictable and highly aggressive, the Cape buffalo is responsible for more deaths in Africa than any other large animal. They are strong and can charge at high speeds.
6. Poison Dart Frog Danger: Native to Central and South America, these small frogs have skin that produces potent toxins, which can be deadly to predators and humans if touched or ingested.
7. Great White Shark Danger: Great whites are among the largest predatory fish in the world and are capable of attacking humans. While attacks are rare, their size, speed, and sharp teeth make them formidable predators.
As the saying goes there is beauty in every living things,tho this wild animals are dangerous but only because they are overly protective of themselves and offsprings ,wild life should be cherished and not seen as a competition for the planet.

2025-06-03 01:18:34The blockchain revolution isn't just for crypto bros anymore. While everyone's busy debating Bitcoin prices, data professionals are quietly building the analytical backbone of Web3 that will transform how we understand digital value. Unlike traditional analytics where data lives in centralized warehouses, Web3 analytics operates on immutable, transparent ledgers where every transaction tells a story that can't be altered or deleted. This isn't just a technical shift—it's fundamentally changing who controls information. Smart contracts aren't just code; they're self-executing business logic that eliminates middlemen and creates entirely new data patterns to analyze. The most successful Web3 developers aren't necessarily the ones who understand blockchain best, but those who can translate its complexity into intuitive experiences that don't require users to know what "gas fees" or "zkRollups" mean. The real opportunity lies at the intersection of AI and blockchain, where machine learning models can detect patterns across decentralized finance protocols that human analysts would miss. Whether you're building DeFi dashboards or NFT analytics tools, the key is focusing on solving actual problems rather than chasing blockchain buzzwords. The future belongs to those who can bridge the technical complexity of Web3 with the simplicity users expect from traditional applications. Ready to build the decentralized future or just watch others profit from it?

Jack Mallers Announced A New System of Bitcoin Backed Loans at StrikeThe Founder and CEO of Strike, Jack Mallers, at the 2025 Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, announced a new system of Bitcoin backed loans at Strike with one digit interest rate.
Jack Mallers began his keynote by pointing at the biggest problem. Fiat currency.
“The best time to go to Whole Foods and buy eggs with your dollars was 1913,” said Mallers. “Every other time after, you are getting screwed.”
What’s the solution?
“The solution is Bitcoin,” stated Mallers. “Bitcoin is the money that we coincide that nobody can print. You can’t print, you can’t debase my time and energy, you cannot deprive me of owning assets, of getting out of debt, of living sovereignly and protecting my future, my family, my priced possessions. Bitcoin is what we invented to do that.”
Mallers gave a power message to the audience by explaining that people should HODL every dollar they have in Bitcoin. People should also spend a little of it to have a nice life.
“You can’t HODL forever,” said Jack.
While talking about loans that people borrow against their Bitcoin. He explained why he thinks banks putting 20% in interest for loans backed with Bitcoin is outrageous.
“All these professional economists, they are like Bitcoin is risky and volatile,” stated Mallers. “No it’s not. This is the magnificent 7 one year volatility and the orange one in the middle is Bitcoin. It’s no more risky and volatile. It’s a little bit more volatile than Apple, but is far less more volatile than Tesla.”
“As Bitcoin matures, its volatility goes down,” continued Jack. “Bitcoin volatility is at a point where it is no more risky than a Tesla Stock. We should not be paying double digits rates for a loan.”
Mallers announced his new system of loans at Strike of 9-13% in interest rates. It will allow people to get loans from $10,000 to $1 billion.
Mallers closed by saying, “please be responsible. This is debt. Debt is like fire in my opinion. It can heat a civilization. It can warm your home, but if you go too crazy it can burn your house down.”
“Life is short,” said Jack. “Take the trip, but with bitcoin you just get to take a better one.”

2025-06-02 23:57:06The silent revolution in crypto isn't just about price—it's about power shifting right before our eyes. Robinhood's $200M acquisition of Bitstamp, the world's longest-running crypto exchange, isn't just another corporate takeover; it's a strategic chess move giving traditional finance unprecedented access to Europe's institutional crypto market. While everyone's watching Bitcoin's price fluctuations, the real story is how rapidly the infrastructure is consolidating under fewer, more powerful players. This acquisition creates a financial superhighway connecting Wall Street directly to European crypto markets, potentially triggering a flood of institutional capital that could fundamentally alter the crypto landscape. The question isn't whether crypto will go mainstream—it already has. The question is: who will control the on-ramps when the real money arrives? Will you be positioned to benefit from this structural shift, or just watching from the sidelines?

2025-06-02 23:46:02The most valuable crypto isn't Bitcoin—it's your private key. In 2023 alone, hackers stole $2.61 billion in crypto assets, yet most thefts weren't from sophisticated code exploits but from basic security mistakes. Cryptography uses two main systems: symmetric (same key for encryption/decryption) and asymmetric (public/private key pairs). Your crypto wallet doesn't actually store your coins—it stores the keys that prove ownership on the blockchain. For maximum security, use hardware wallets that keep private keys offline, enable two-factor authentication with an app (not SMS), create unique passwords for each platform, verify URLs before clicking, and never access wallets on public WiFi. The SEC can't protect you from phishing attacks that trick you into revealing your seed phrase—once your private key is compromised, your funds are gone forever, with no bank to call for a refund. Ready to make your crypto security as valuable as your investments?

2025-06-02 18:47:35มีคำกล่าวที่ว่า “นกไม่เห็นฟ้า ปลาไม่เห็นน้ำ หนอนในส้วมไม่เห็นคูถ ไส้เดือนไม่เห็นดิน คนอยู่ในโลกก็ไม่เห็นโลก” นี้หมายความว่า มันมีอะไรที่ลึกลับอยู่ ที่ทำให้นกไม่เห็นฟ้า หรือปลาไม่เห็นน้ำ. ให้ดูเห็นง่ายก็ที่ปลา ปลามันอยู่ในน้ำ น้ำก็ถึงตา มันยังมองไม่เห็นน้ำ ทั้งที่น้ำเป็นสิ่งที่มันปะทะหรือว่าติดกันอยู่เสมอไป. ตั้งแต่เกิดมาก็เป็นอย่างนั้นเสียแล้ว มันก็ไม่ได้รู้สึกว่ามีน้ำ ปลาจึงไม่รู้ว่าน้ำนั้นคืออะไร โดยแท้จริง. หรือว่าหนอนที่เกิดมาจากอุจาระอยู่แท้ ๆ แต่ก็ไม่เห็นอุจาระ. หรือว่าไส้เดือนอยู่ในดิน มันกินดิน แต่มันก็ไม่เห็นดิน. ทั้งนี้เพราะคำว่า “เห็น” ในที่นี้มีความหมายพิเศษ
คนอยู่ในโลกก็ไม่เห็นโลก คือไม่ได้เห็นความจริงหรือความลับโดยแท้จริงของสิ่งที่เรียกว่า “โลก” มีตามันก็เห็นนั่นเห็นนี่เรือย ๆ ไป แต่ไม่เห็นจริง. ไม่รู้จักโดยแท้จริง มันจึงได้หลงในสิ่งเหล่านั้น. ถ้าเห็นจริงๆก็จะไม่หลงในอะไร. เพราะฉะนั้นอย่าได้ประมาท อย่าได้อวดดี ว่าเรา “เห็น” มันเพียงแต่ว่า สัมผัสตามธรรมดาด้วยตา แล้วรู้สึกไปตามกฎเกณฑ์อย่างธรรมดา ว่ามันมีเท่านั้น ; แต่ที่จริงยังมีอยู่อีกชั้นหนึ่ง คือชั้นลึกซึ้ง.
ทีนี้ เรามาดูกันถึงสิ่งที่เรียกว่า “ชีวิต” ขอให้สังเกตดูให้ดี ๆ ว่า เราต้องใช้คำว่า “สิ่งที่เรียกกันว่า...” สิ่งที่เรียกกันว่านี้ มันเป็นของคนโง่ก็ได้ คือคนโง่มันว่า หรือมันเรียกอะไรเป็นอะไร. แล้วในโลกนี้มีคนโง่มาก หรือมีคนฉลาดมาก ถ้าว่าเป็นคนฉลาด มันก็จะต้องรู้จักทำโลกนี้ให้หมดปัญหา คือไม่มีตวามทุกข์ยากลำบากวุ่นวาย.
เดี๋ยวนี้คนส่วนมาก ก็ไม่รู้จักสิ่งที่เรียกว่า “โลก” นี้โดยแท้จริง มันจึงทำไปในลักษณะที่ไม่ถูกต้องตรงตามที่เป็นจริง เราจึงยุ่งกันทั้งโลกอยู่เวลานี้.
คำว่า “ชีวิต” นี้ก็เหมือนกัน มันมีสิ่งที่เรียกว่า “ชีวิต” โดยเฉพาะเด็ก ๆ สมัยนี้ จะใช้คำว่า “ชีวิต” นี้พร่ำเพรื่อ. สมัยปู่ ย่า ตา ยาย คำว่าชีวิตนี้ใช้น้อยที่สุด เป็นความลึกลับเอามาพูดถึงกันน้อยที่สุด. เดี๋ยวนี้หนังสืออ่านเล่นหนังสืออะไรก็มีคำว่า “ชีวิต” ใช้พร่ำเพรื่อ จนเด็ก ๆ เข้าใจไปว่า ตัวเองรู้จักสิ่งที่เรียกว่า “ชีวิต” อย่างแตกฉานทีเดียว. นั่นแหละคือความหลับหูหลับตา สำหรับจะอวดดี.
สิ่งที่เรียกว่าชีวิตนี้มันมีความลึกลับ และยังแถมมีเคล็ดลับที่ซ่อนเร้นอยู่ในนั้นมาก คำว่า “ชีวิต” ของเด็ก ๆ ที่เคยอ่านแต่หนังสืออ่านเล่น มันก็มีความหมายอย่างหนึ่ง คนวัยรุ่นที่เคยแต่อ่านหนังสืออ่านเล่นนั้น จะเข้าใจคำว่า “ชีวิต” ในความหมายไปอย่างหนึ่ง. ต่อเมื่ออายุมากแล้ว เป็นพ่อแม่แล้ว จะรู้จัก “ชีวิต” ในความหมายหนึ่ง ซึ่งจะจริงกว่าหรือถูกกว่าอีกมาก; แต่ก็ยังไม่หมด มันยังเหลือความลับของชีวิตนั้นอีกมาก จนกว่าจะเป็นพระอริยเจ้า หรือว่ามีปัญญาตามแบบของพระอริยเจ้านั่นแหละ จึงจะเห็นสิ่งที่เรียกว่า “ชีวิต” อย่างถูกต้องแท้จริงและถึงที่สุด คือสมบูรณ์ที่สุด.
เพราะฉะนั้น พระอริยเจ้านั้นก็มิใช่ใครอื่นที่ไหน ท่านเป็นเพียงผู้ที่รู้จักโลกตามที่เป็นจริง แล้วก็ไม่หลงโลก ท่านทำให้ชีวิตนี้ไม่มีความทุกข์ ; คนชนิดนี้เรียกว่าพระอริยเจ้า.
แต่เดี๋ยวนี้คนทั่วไปไม่เข้าใจคำว่า “พระอริยเจ้า” จัดไว้เป็นบุคคลที่ลึกลับ เข้าใจไม่ได้ ; หรือว่าจะเป็นบุคคลประเภทที่ไม่พึงปรารถนาด้วยซ้ำไป.
คนวัยรุ่นสมัยนี้จะเข้าใจว่า พระอริยเจ้าเป็นคนหมดความหมาย สำหรับโลก หมดความหมายสำหรับพวกเรา ท่านบ้า ๆ บอ ๆ ครึ ๆ คระ ๆ ไปตามแบบของท่าน. ถ้าใครนึกอยู่อย่างนี้ก็ขอให้นึกเสียใหม่ เพราะว่าการศึกษาอบรมสมัยนี้อาจจะทำให้นึกไปอย่างนั้น จนนึกไปว่าพระอริยเจ้านี้ท่านเป็นคนประหลาด บ้า ๆ บอ ๆ ไปตามแบบของท่าน.
ขอให้เข้าใจเสียใหม่ว่า พระอริยเจ้า นั้นคือบุคคล ที่รู้จักโลกตามที่เป็นจริง และจัดการทุกอย่างถูกต้องหมด จนไม่มีความทุกข์ คือท่านไม่เป็นเหมือนกับ นกไม่เห็นฟ้า ปลาไม่เห็นน้ำ หนอนไม่เห็นคูถอย่างนี้ อีกต่อไป คือไม่เป็นอย่างนี้อีกต่อไป ; จะเป็นผู้ที่รู้สิ่งทั้งหลายทั้งปวงถูกต้องตามที่เป็นจริง.
ด้วยเหตุนี้แหละ เราจึงต้องใช้คำว่า สิ่งที่เรียกว่า “ชีวิต” ไม่ใช้คำว่า “ชีวิต” เฉยๆ เพราะมันเรียกกันได้ตามชอบใจ หลายอย่าง หลายแบบ หลายชั้น หลายลักษณะนัก ดังนั้นจึงขอร้องให้ผู้ที่เป็นครูนั้น รู้จักความลับของสิ่งที่เรียกว่าชีวิต.
ทีนี้ ความลับของสิ่งที่เรียกว่า “ชีวิต” นี้ มันก็ยังมีมากมายอีก ในชั้นนี้เราเอาตามที่พระพุทธเจ้าท่านตรัสไว้จะดีกว่า และก็อย่างเดียวกันอีกนั่นแหละ คือว่าพระพุทธเจ้าท่านได้ตรัสไว้มาก ถ้าเอาพระไตรปิฏกเป็นหลักแล้วมันมากจนเกินกว่าที่ชาวบ้านจะศึกษาไหว หรือจะรวบรวมมาให้หมดได้. เพราะฉะนั้นจึงมีความจำเป็นที่จะต้องมีการย่อหรือสรุปเอาแต่ใจความมาให้ฟังหรือให้ศึกษากัน.
ตามนัยที่พระพุทธเจ้าท่านได้ตรัสไว้ทั้งหมด ทั้งสิ้นนั้น เราอาจจะสรุปความได้ว่า สิ่งที่เรียกว่า “ชีวิต” นั้น มันมีเคล็ดลับมาก แต่มันก็รวมอยู่ที่ สิ่งที่เรียกว่า ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย ใจ ช่วยจำคำ ๖ คำนี้ไว้ให้ดี ๆ อย่าหาว่าเป็นคำธรรมดา หรือว่าเป็นเรื่องธรรมดา มันมีความลับอยู่ในนั้นมากมายนัก คือคำว่า ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย ใจ เราเรียกเป็นภาษาไทยกันดีกว่า ภาษาบาลีชวนให้ยุ่งหัว อยากจะรู้ภาษาบาลีก็ไปดูปทานุกรมเอาเองก็ได้.
สิ่งที่สำคัญที่สุด หรือทั้งหมดของสิ่งที่เรียกว่า “ชีวิต” ก็ตาม หรือของความลับ เคล็ดลับของชีวิตก็ตาม มันสรุปรวมอยู่ที่ สิ่งที่เราเรียกกันว่า ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย ใจ.

2025-06-02 18:31:55How open-source won in fiat land.
Completely lost in time, I finally landed back in Berlin after a month in Buenos Aires and a week in Las Vegas that felt like an entire lifetime compressed into a few days.
A year ago, I barely knew how to spell NOSTR, didn’t have a Lightning wallet, and had only vaguely heard of Bitcoin. I had no idea what this movement was about — what it could mean, or where it might take me. Fast forward to now: I found myself in Las Vegas, at the biggest Bitcoin conference in the world, surrounded by thousands of people.
For those who haven’t been yes, Vegas is exactly like in the movies. It is Disneylands for adults. Casinos pumping cold air at 4 am to keep you awake, fake skies, fake rivers, fake cities. You walk from one hotel to another and somehow land in a version of Rome, Paris or Venice. It’s bizarre and overwhelming and… kind of amazing in its own twisted way. Who are we humans to build a neon wonderland in the middle of a desert?
And yet, even there, in peak fiat land, there I was: in a casino lounge at 4 in the morning onboarding random people to Nostr with the entire team.
But let’s rewind — how did I even end up here?
After a slightly rocky start Derek and I began the year with a mission: to bring Nostr to Las Vegas. A booth? Way too expensive. So we tried something else — applying for a grant from the Human Rights Foundation. Because the Oslo Freedom Forum was happening at the same time, HRF decided to support six fellow Nostriches and gave us the green light to build something different: the Nostr Lounge.
To the entire HRF team: thank you. Thank you for trusting us, for believing in the vision, and for playing such a crucial role in making this happen. Located in Open Source area far from the main exhibition hall, away from the noise and flashing lights we were not sure if anyone even come?
But the space turned out to be perfect — cosy, carpeted, warm. A real contrast to the intense chaos of the main hall. It gave us space to breathe, to onboard, to connect.And of course the plebs did come. And the energy? Unreal. People were genuinely curious, eager to learn, and ready to go deep. No suits, no fluff — just people who care.
Of course, there were suitcoiners too — and yes, I’ve written about them before, especially after my experience at Bitcoin investment Week in New York (if you missed it, I wrote about that here earlier this year — and Vegas brought a strange kind of déjà vu).
This was — and is — a team effort. It wouldn’t have happened without the incredible crew of volunteers who came from all corners of the world. Developers, builders, creators, idealists. People who understand what freedom of speech really means. Agustin, Mike, Sleepy, Erik and so many more. And even those who weren’t physically with us — following along on Nostr, sending support from afar — you were just as much a part of it.
For me personally, it meant everything to finally meet so many beautiful humans in real life. Especially the women: Roya, Heather, Valerie, Bri, Efrat… you give me strength and hope. It reminded me why I’m here — why we’re all here. There is a better world worth fighting for, and this community helps me believe in it.
The Nostr Lounge was for the plebs — and so was our side event at We All Scream. Away from the overpriced conference afterparties, NosVegas was a wild, joyful celebration. Sponsored by Tunestr and The Space, it was the perfect mix of education and dance floor madness. The vibes were lit. The artists such as Sara Jade, Ainsley Costello on fire.
If there’s one thing I would change? I wish we’d had more stage time. As Derek said in the only fireside chat: "Every Bitcoiner should be on Nostr." If we have an entire lounge dedicated to it, let’s really go for it. Because people do care. They do love it. Oh — and while we're dreaming — maybe one day the WiFi gods will finally smile on us.
One more highlight: The 2nd Annual Bitcoin Golf Championship and Kickoff Party. Frieda, the organiser, gave us a tiny table with Nostr banners. We used it to onboard and chat — and of course, it became the busiest little corner of the event.
All in all, I feel deeply grateful — and also completely behind on processing it all. A full recap will follow soon from Derek (bless him), but this was my personal take, straight from the heart.
And if I forgot to mention anyone by name — I’m truly sorry. So many of you made this experience what it was, and I carry that with me.
And one thing I’m especially thankful for — having someone by my side through all this. Someone who grounds me, who gets it, who quietly keeps me steady while the world spins fast. You know who you are.
Next stop: Prague

2025-06-02 18:20:031) How did you spend your time?
I continued to write and publish more detailed weekly updates here: https://nostrver.se/blog. These updates are also cross-posted via Nostr as long-form content.
All commits on the main branch from 01-03-2025 till 30-04-2025: https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/commits/main/?since=2025-03-01&until=2025-04-30
NIP-19 bech32-encoded entities
This has been implemented in the library, see https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/68
Added getTag method to the Event class
https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/commit/5afa38a45d3371bf79c78cda4d93be3ecef86985
Added a profile class to fetch profile metadata of a given pubkey
https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/commit/0e6cbbb80b08b2b38722d4cef68205c64b70b205
Drupal nJump module which implements Nostr-PHP
This Drupal module which is providing these Nostr features is FOSS and uses the Nostr-PHP library for doing the following:
- Request the event from one or more relays
- Decode the provided NIP-19 identifier
For now this module is way for me to utilize the Nostr-PHP library with Drupal for fetching events.
Any event and a NIP-19 identifier can now be fetched with the following URL pattern:
https://nostrver.se/e/{event_id|nevent1|note1|addr1}
As an example, take this URL https://nostrver.se/e/nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqmjxss3dld622uu8q25gywum9qtg4w4cv4064jmg20xsac2aam5nqqsqm2lz4ru6wlydzpulgs8m60ylp4vufwsg55whlqgua6a93vp2y4g3uu9lr fetches the data from one or more relays. This data is then being saved as a (Drupal) node entity (in a database on the server where this website is hosted, which is located in my tiny office). With this saved node, this data is now also available at https://nostrver.se/e/0dabe2a8f9a77c8d1079f440fbd3c9f0d59c4ba08a51d7f811ceeba58b02a255/1 where the (cached) data is server from the database instead. It's just raw data for now, nothing special about it (yet).
Contributions to the library
- NIP-04 + NIP-44
https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/84
https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/88 - NIP-05 internet identifier lookup

https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/86 - Work in progress: NIP-17 direct messages
https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/90
All these contributions are made by Djuri who is working on the Nostr integration in https://satsback.com and on a private messaging browser client https://n17.chat.
Removed the CLI tool from the library
See https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/93
New / updated documentation at nostr-php.dev
I started to explore what is possible generating documentation using Goose as an AI agent and Claude as the LLM provider. Bootstrapping new pages with documentation works very well while I point to several resources to be used as input for the LLM (using the example snippets in the Nostr-PHP library and the Nostr NIP repository).
All commits on the master branch from 01-03-2025 till 30-04-2025: https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php.dev/commits/master?since=2025-03-01&until=2025-04-30- Updated the page how to handle tags on a event, see https://nostr-php.dev/guides/manage-tags-on-an-event#getting-specific-tags
- Added a instructions to try out the library online at https://nostr-php.dev/guides/get-started
- Work in progress, NIP-19 documentation: https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php.dev/tree/feat/nip19docs and https://nostr-php.dev/guides/nip19
Some analytics
Source: https://packagist.org/packages/swentel/nostr-php/stats
Other Nostr stuff I would to mention I worked on
NIP-B0 web bookmarks with CCNS.news
I moved https://ccns.nostrver.se to a own domain https://ccns.news and has integrated NIP-B0 which we worked out how to handle web bookmarks via Nostr. Before this NIP was merged, there were already some other Nostr clients handling web bookmarks:
Also Fiatjaf started to work on an annotation noting tool (browser extension) called Lantern (which is a fork of https://hypothes.is) integrating Nostr for creating highlights and annotations on a webpage with text. This extension can also be used to bookmark web pages.
On CCNS.news there is a global feed now: https://ccns.news/global which fetches all the web bookmark events with kind
39701
from several public Nostr relays. I had a rough idea to compare feeds generated with NDK and Nostr-PHP (for both using the same set of relays):When you post a bookmark now on the site, a kind
39701
event is transmitted to some Nostr relays (take a look at this event for example). Optionally you can also publish this content as a note to the network.2) What do you plan to work on next quarter?
- Already work in progress:
- Review and merge PR with NIP-17
https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/90 - Implement NIP-65 with RelayListMetadata class
https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/100 - Implement DMRelayList class

- https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/94
- Implement PersistantConnection class
https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/99 - Review and merge PR NIP-13 proof of work
https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/97 - Review and merge PR for implementing methods (TODO's) on Relay and RelaySet class
https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/95
- Review and merge PR with NIP-17
- Planned:
- Research how the revolt/event-loop package can be used to serve as a sort of a message bus for handling async and concurrent requests in the library
- Build a stable 2.0.x release
- By default and full async concurrent requests support
- Add / update documentation on https://nostr-php.dev:
- Direct messages with NIP-04 and NIP-17
- Encrypted payloads with NIP-44
- Instructions how to bootstrap a Nostr profile with a given pubkey
- Host the https://nostr-php.dev website as a static website using Blossom.
See https://github.com/lez/nsite and https://github.com/hzrd149/nsite-ts
3) How did you make use of the money?
- Livings costs
4) Is there anything we could help with?
I would love to see a (closed/private) digital place with other Nostr OpenSats grantees where we can share our experiences and challenges. We could give feedback to each other as a form of encouragement. For example I'm curious how other grantees are explaining the work they to other which are not familiar with FOSS, Nostr and/or Bitcoin.

@ e2c72a5a:bfacb2ee
2025-06-02 22:57:05The silent revolution isn't Bitcoin hitting $111K—it's the unprecedented corporate treasury shift happening right under our noses. While everyone watches price charts, 14 US states have quietly accumulated $632 million in Strategy stock, effectively gaining Bitcoin exposure through the backdoor. This isn't just investment diversification; it's governmental entities voting with their dollars in a way legislation never could. The real crypto story of 2025 isn't about retail adoption or even institutional investment—it's about the stealth integration of digital assets into public finance structures. What happens when state pension funds start demanding Bitcoin allocation to match their Strategy holdings? The line between government opposition and participation is blurring faster than anyone predicted. Are we witnessing the early stages of a sovereign wealth transition that makes El Salvador's Bitcoin experiment look like a mere test run? Your financial future might depend less on what lawmakers say about crypto and more on what their investment committees are already doing.

To be clear, this is 100% my subjective opinion on the alternatives to popular music, as it has become practically a formula of witchcraft, pseudoscience and mysticism. There is nothing you can do to get me to listen to Western pop music from the late 2010's to now. I could certainly listen to almost anything... just not modern pop, which is now completely backwards.
Most examples of compositions for these genres will be my own, unless otherwise stated. The genres on this list are in no particular order, though my favorite of which will be first:
- Bossa Nova
Bossa Nova is a subgenre of jazz from Brazil, created in the 1950's as a mix of standard jazz and samba rhythms in a more gentle and relaxing manner. This genre's most famous songs are Tom Jobim's The Girl from Ipanema (found in albums like Getz/Gilberto), Wave, and even Triste. Most of the music is written in 2/4 time signature, and any key is almost acceptable. It's called Afro-Brazilian Jazz for a reason after all. I have a ton of compositions I produced, from Forget and Regret, to Rabbit Theory, Beaches of Gensokyo Past, Waveside, and even Willows of Ice to name a few of them.
- Metal
This is an umbrella term for many subgenres of this fork of hard rock, with more distorted guitars, speedy and technical writing, vocals that sound demonic (some subgenres don't have that), or sometimes, chaotic lyrics and downright nasty ones if you look deep enough. If you want to get into it, just make sure it's not Black Metal (it's weird), Blackened Metal (Any subgenre of metal that's been inserted with elements of Black Metal), Metalcore, or any other genre that has vocals that aren't the best to hear (these are vocal fries that are really good if you're into the weird demonic sounds). This isn't for the faint of heart. Instrumental metal is good though, and an example is my composition from Touhou Igousaken called A Sly Foxy Liar if you want to know what techincal groove metal is like at a glance.
- Touhou-style
I can attest to this one, as I produced bossa nova with a Touhou-like writing style. Touhou Project is a series of action video games created by one guy (Jun'ya Outa, a.k.a. ZUN), and are usually bullet curtain games in the main franchise, with some official spinoffs that are also action games (fighting games like Touhou 12.3 ~ Hisoutensoku). What I'm referring to here is music written by ZUN himself (He does almost everything for Touhou Project, and he's really good at it), or fans that write to his style with their own flair. I did this once with my composition, Toiled Bubble, which is from my self-titled EP. I probably wouldn't do much with it to be fair, and stick to bossa nova (my main genre if you couldn't tell).
- Hip-Hop/Rap
This can get subjective here, but old-school rap and hip-hop... give me more of it. Before it became corrupted with all kinds of immoral things, hip-hop and rap were actually very good for their time. These were new, innovative and creative with how lyrics were written. Nowadays, while we're talking about cars, unspeakable acts, money, and just being dirtbags. Artists in this genre back then were much classier than that. I fit in the latter category with my pieces entitled, Don't Think, Just Roast (the piece where I called out antis of a popular corporate Vtuber agency) and Desparate Yokai. It didn't get much traction on YouTube, because I'm not a well-known artist (I'm considered a nobody in the grand scheme of things. I'd like to get it fixed, but I don't want a record deal... I'd have to become a Pharisee, Cathoic, Jesuit or Wahhabi Muslim for a record deal... in other words, I need to revere and obey the Pope (the Mark of the Beast).
- Synthwave
This is a genre of electronic music focused on 80's and 90's synths being used to carry a composition. Nowadays, we have plugins like Vital, Serum, Surge and others to create sounds we would otherwise be hearing on an 80's or 90's keyboard. An example of this is my composition, Wrenched Torque, which was composed for a promotion I did with RAES when he released his Vital synth pack.
- Happy Hardcore
A 90's genre of EDM, specifically Hardcore, it's stylized with 80's and 90's synths, 90's drum machines and even vocals of music from back in the day (rap and disco I think were sampled the most). Artists like Chinese artist Xi (not Xi Jinping for those misunderstanding), European DJ Nakatomi and the like have produced some fine pieces of work. You'd find this primarily in Germany, The Netherlands and probably Belgium as well. If you want to hear some Happy Hardcore from me, The VST Test is the album to look for.
More are to come in future installments of this series, and I will adjust the title of this one accordingly if y'all have any ideas of genres I should look into (with the exception of Happy Hardcore, which is in the Yakihonne release of this article).

2025-06-02 22:55:52The dark side of crypto's energy debate: AI will consume 50% of data center electricity by year-end, dwarfing Bitcoin's footprint. While critics fixate on Bitcoin's environmental impact, artificial intelligence quietly devours exponentially more power with far less scrutiny. This energy hypocrisy reveals a selective outrage that has little to do with actual environmental concerns and everything to do with controlling financial innovation. The next time someone lectures you about Bitcoin's energy use, ask them about their AI chatbot habits—the carbon footprint might just leave them speechless. Are we really concerned about energy consumption, or just afraid of financial freedom?

Since 2022, Dungeons and Dragons has been going down a sort of death spiral after the release of a revised version of 5th Edition... which didn't turn out very well to say the least. In light of that, I present a list of TTRPGs you can play if you don't want to purchase 5E. I wouldn't recommend 5E, as I've DM'd it in the past. It tastes like a lollipop that's cockroach and larvae flavored.
This list of TTRPG games is in no particular order, though my favorite of these systems is number one.
- Basic Fantasy Role-Playing Game (BFRPG)
- B/X-style OSR retroclone with ascending armor class, and the original retroclone from 2006.
- Fully libre under CC BY-SA for the 4th Edition, and OGL 1.0a for 1-3 Editions.
- Full books are free PDF files on the website (Basic Fantasy Website).
- All BFRPG editions are compatible with each other, meaning you can have a 3rd Edition book to a 4th Edition game and still have fun. 4th Edition is just the removal of the 3E SRD that's in the OGL editions.
- As with the core rulebooks, all the supplementation is free as a PDF as well, though you can buy physical books at cost (BFRPG principal rights holder Chris Gonnerman doesn't make much profit from Basic Fantasy).
- Old-school community that's an all-around fantastic group of players, authors and enthusiasts.
-
Fun Fact: Out of all the TTRPGs I'd want to DM/GM the most, it'd be this one by far.
-
Iron Falcon (IF)
- OD&D-style retroclone from 2015 (It's also by Gonnerman, same guy behind BFRPG).
- A close ruleset to the White Box rules and supplements.
- Also fully libre under CC BY-SA for the latest releases, just like BFRPG for 4th Edition releases.
- Just like BFRPG, the core rules and supplementation come as PDF files for free, or physical books.
-
Fast and loose ruleset open to interpretation, just like in 1975-1981... somewhere right around that timeline for OD&D.
-
Old-School Reference and Index Compendium (OSRIC)
- AD&D 1E-based retroclone by Stewart Marshall and Matt Finch.
- An old system that surprisingly still holds up, even after a long time of no new versions of the rules.
- Extremely in-depth ruleset, licensed under OGL 1.0a and OSRIC Open License.
- Compatible with AD&D 1e modules for the 1st Edition, though 2.2 potentially has its own supplementation.
-
I don't know much about it, as I'd be too slow to learn it. That's all I know, which is the above.
-
Ironsworn
- Custom loosely-based PbtA (Powered by the Apocalypse) system by Shawn Tomkin from 2018.
- Includes GM, GMless and solo play in the rulebook.
- Supplementation is surely something else with one look at the downloads section for the PDFs of the original, which is free under CC BY-NC-SA. The SRD is under CC BY otherwise.
- No original adventures are made for this system as are known, as it's expected that the Ironlands are where they take place.
-
Fun Fact: This was a non-D&D system I considered running as a GM.
-
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition (AD&D 2e)
- An official edition from 1989-2000.
- At the time, the most customizable edition in its history, before 3E took the spot as the most customizable edition.
- A streamlined revision of the AD&D 1E rules (AD&D 1E was exclusively written by E. Gary Gygax).
- The end of old-school D&D, as 3E and beyond are different games altogether.
- Wide array of supplementation, which oversaturated 2E's customization... and most of it didn't sell well as a result.
- Final TSR-published edition of D&D, as they went bankrupt and out of business during this edition's life cycle, to then be liquidated to Wizards of the Coast (Boy did WOTC mess it up once 5.1E was released).
-
Fun Fact: A Canadian history professor named Dr. Robert Wardough runs a customized ruleset using 2E as a base, which he's been DMing since the 80's during the "Satanic Panic" (The Satanic Panic was fake as a result of horrible deceivers gaslighting people to not play D&D). He started RAW (Rules as Written), but saw some things he needed to change for his games, so he did so over time.
-
Moldvay/Cook Basic/Expert Dungeons & Dragons (B/X)
- Competing system to 1E from 1981 and 1982.
- Official edition of D&D, part of the old-school era.
- Simplified rules for Basic, but some decently complex rules for Expert.
- Only goes up to Lv. 14, as it's potentially a 1E or White Box primer (similar to 1977 Basic).
- Supplementation, from some research done, was decent for the time, and a little bit extensive.
- The inspiration for BFRPG in 2006 (Did I mention this already? Maybe I have, but I might emphasize that here too.).
-
Fun Fact: I considered running B/X, but decided that I'd do BFRPG, as the ascending armor class is easier math than with B/X and the THAC0 armor class (descending armor class).
-
Basic, Expert, Companion, Master, Immortal Dungeons & Dragons (BECMI) and/or Rules Cyclopedia
- 1983 variant of the Moldvay/Cook Basic/Expert system, an official edition and part of the old-school era.
- Essentially, 1981 B/X D&D on steroids.
- 5 boxed sets were released for the five parts of the rules for this system.
- Rules Cyclopedia is a reprint of the 1983 Basic, Expert, Companion and Master rules boxed sets. The Immortal set was never reprinted outside of the original boxed set because Immortal is such a bizarre game within a game altogether.
- With the first 4 boxed sets (whether individual sets or the Rules Cyclopedia), levels are 1-36.
-
Fun Fact: This edition I was considering DMing as well, alongside BFRPG. They're similar rulesets with some mechanical differences, but I think either or would be worth it.
-
Original Dungeons & Dragons (OD&D or White Box)
- The original release of D&D from 1974 written by Gygax and Dave Arneson, published by TSR.
- Uses the rules from Chainmail, a wargame made by Gygax and Jeff Perren.
- Base has three little booklets (Men & Magic, Monsters & Magic, and The Underworld & Wilderness Adventures), five official supplements were released (Greyhawk, Blackmoor, Eldritch Wizardry, Gods, Demi-Gods and Heroes, and Swords & Spells), and many more from fanzines.
- Fast and loose ruleset open to interpretation (similar to IF).
- Not based upon adventurers taking on dangerous quest, but kings commanding armies (which is why OD&D is actually a Chainmail supplement). The latter was the original purpose of D&D before it got changed in 2000.
There are many more games that are not D&D that you can look up too. See what you like, read the rules, learn them, and start playing with your group. Have fun and slay some monsters!

2025-06-02 17:50:08Bitcoin's first 15 years delivered spectacular success: $2T market cap, inflation-resistant store of value, censorship-resistant wealth preservation.
On the other hand, Bitcoin has hardly cemented itself as global medium-of-exchange.
Volatility and UX challenges are at odds with mainstream adoption. Stablecoins have, by and large, dominated the transactional role.
Meanwhile, something profound is happening with Bitcoin capital.
$2T in Bitcoin wealth isn't content sitting idle.
Despite the maxi's common rhetoric, whales appetite for deploying this capital is very real. Yield generation, risk hedging, capital formation opportunities that compound returns beyond simple HODLing.
The defining meta of this cycle is the financialization of Bitcoin.
MicroStrategy's playbook. Bitcoin treasury companies. The writing is on the wall. Large holders are securitizing Bitcoin to offer traditional market exposure while earning returns in the process.
This isn't just speculation. It's capital seeking productivity. But here's the critical risk: This financialization is happening through centralized, custodial infrastructure. BlackRock, Fidelity, and Wall Street banks are capturing Bitcoin's financial upside while Bitcoin holders surrender the sovereignty that makes Bitcoin revolutionary.\ \ We're recreating traditional finance with Bitcoin as the underlying asset.\ \ Centralized venues offer the best execution but custody risk, wrapped solutions provide some control but fragment liquidity across risky bridges. Onchain is slow, expensive, and functionally limited.
The path forward requires Bitcoin-native capital markets.
This is why we built Arkade.
Programmable money enables this transition through Bitcoin-native capital markets: Non-interactive trading without custody risk, sophisticated financial instruments like lending and options with unilateral exit paths intact. This creates the virtuous cycle Bitcoin needs:
Productive capital deployment → Liquidity & stability → Practical everyday use → Higher transaction volume → Sustainable fee markets → Stronger security → More confidence → More capital
The missing piece isn't better payment UX or lower volatility alone.
It's infrastructure that lets Bitcoin capital work productively while maintaining Bitcoin's core properties of self-sovereignty and censorship resistance.
Hyperbitcoinization doesn't start with coffee purchases.
It starts with Bitcoin capital markets sophisticated enough to compete with traditional finance but built on Bitcoin's foundation of self-custody and open, permissionless innovation.
The transformation from store of value to money runs through capital markets. And those markets must be Bitcoin-native.\ \ Time to level up!\ \ 👾

Everyone who sees it knows at this point that the matrix of control comes from the overdependence of proprietary software to do our everyday tasks. You can think of this like us being the cling wrap that will just not let go of these pieces of garbage software that don't allow you to see what is in their source code, and how they work. This will tend to lead to the unlawful collection of data (violating the most basic of privacy laws, despite unenforceable contracts that are enforced regardless), bad OPSEC that sees you being stalked and harassed over nothing significant. In the worst of cases, if you speak your mind where you aren't necessarily supposed to be able to do that, and you get doxxed, the worst cases could be far worse than one could imagine.
The solution to this, on the other hand, is using almost exclusively free/libre open-source software and GNU/Linux operation systems. If you're using certain proprietary software, hardening it to give as little data as possible to the entity responsible for it will also work, as long as you know which ones to use. This is a hard pass for a lot of people, but if you want to escape the control matrix of proprietary software, Winblows, HackOS, iHackOS, iBloatOS and stock Google AI Fever Dream, then researching which Free Software (notice the spelling) to use is your first bet. I had already done this for the past four and a half years, and will continue to do it as long as I live, seeing what new Free Software compliant applications and libraries come into the spotlight once things get locked down into walled gardens like what HackOS, iHackOS and BlindnessOS do on a regular basis.
Each of these pieces of software will be in a categorized list with a brief description of what the software is used for. There is a lot to take in, so research this yourself and see if these are right for you. These are the applications I personally use on a regular day-to-day basis, and they work for my needs.
-
Operating Systems (the core to your device)
-
GNU/Linux operating systems (for PCs) or GrapheneOS (for de-googled Android phones)
To be fair on this one, GNU/Linux is the combination of the Linux kernel with the GNU toolchain, which in turn allows any developer to make an operating system that is FOSS, not necessarily Free Software, especially with the Linux Kernel's proprietary bits of code. The Linux kernel is also used in the Android Open-Source Project (AOSP), and is used as the base of operating systems for Android phones such as GrapheneOS, the only AOSP custom ROM I would recommend based upon the research I had done on this (even if very little).
My recommendations on the Linux side of things are almost any Arch-based distribution (with the exception of Manjaro), Debian-based distributions like Linux Mint Debian edition, regular Debian, AntiX or Devuan, or a Fedora/RedHat-based distribution like Nobara Project (if you're a gamer), OpenSUSE (if set up properly) or even Bluefin if you want an atomic desktop (I wouldn't recommend Bluefin if you want to monkey with your operating system and DIY on many aspects of it). Once you learn how to set these up securely, privately and properly, you're on your way to starting your journey into digital liberation, but there's far more to go on this front.
- Web Browsers (How you surf the internet)
- Firefox Forks
This one is self-explanatory. I harden all the Firefox forks I use (LibreWolf, Waterfox, Floorp and Zen as some examples) to the nines, despite being unable to do anything about my fingerprint. This is why I use multiple browsers for specific purposes to counteract the fingerprint spying due to weaponized JavaScript. There are ways to circumvent the fingerprint-based espionage, and make sure the site fingerprint.com doesn't know that one's lying about what their user agent is, though it's not very easy to fool that site, as it's used by 6,000 companies.
- Brave Browser
This is the only Chromium-based browser I would recommend, as it's better when hardened against all the other Chromium-based browsers, including Ungoogled Chromium, which is almost impossible to harden due to security vulnerabilities. Despite that, Brave has some of the best features for a Chromium-based browser one can feel comfortable using, even though you'll have similar issues with Firefox-based browsers that aren't actually Firefox (and Firefox has its own issues regarding espionage from Mozilla)
- Office Suites (If you need to do professional office documents)
- Libre Office
A fork of Apache's OpenOffice, made better with many features missing from even OnlyOffice and OpenOffice, this suite of applications is the go-to Free Software office suite for many people looking to switch from the proprietary software nether to the diamonds of free/libre open-source software. Though one may need to perform some extra steps to set up compatibility with G-Suite and Microsoft Office past 2015 potentially, it's still a good thing that people trust LibreOffice as their one-stop shop for office documents, despite being completely different from your standard office suite fare.
- OnlyOffice
The competitor to LibreOffice with the ease of Microsoft Office and G-Suite compatibility, OnlyOffice is another office suite that can be good for those who need it, especially since anybody who had used Microsoft Office in particular will be familiar with its layout, if not for a slight learning curve. As someone who's used G-Suite more (due to schooling that stunk worse than a decomposing rat in New York City), that's part of the reason why I switched to LibreOffice, though I tried some others, including OnlyOffice and Abiword (since I use a word processor a lot). This one is another solid option for those who need it.
- Wordgrinder
For those who like to use a terminal emulator like I do, Wordgrinder is a word processor with a terminal user interface (TUI) designed with just focusing on typing without distractions in mind. .wg is the file extension for documents made using Wordgrinder, especially since nowadays most word processors are cloud based. For those who live in a terminal, this is a good option to your terminal UI-based toolbox
- Vi, Vim, Neovim and Vim-like editors
The classic VI Improved (Vim), a fork of the TUI modal editor, vi, with keybinds that will be confusing at first, but with practice and patience, bring about muscle memory to stay on the keyboard, and not necessarily touch the mouse, keypad on the right hand side, or even the arrow keys. These keybind skills will stay with one for the rest of their life once they learn how the modes in vi, Vim or vi-based editors work. It's a classic for those working in the terminal, and a staple in FLOSS text editing and coding tools once customized potentially to the nines to your particular style.
- VS Codium
The Free Software fork of Code OSS by Microsoft, but made to be similar in function to VSCode without Microsoft's espionage baked into it. It has almost exactly the same features as VSCode that one would need, and even any VSIX files from VSCode will work in VSCodium. This one is an easy switch from VSCode for those who use it, but don't want the forced telemetry.
- Emacs
The competitor to Vim, Emacs is an editor that is FLOSS in every way imaginable. It is one of the most customizable editors anybody could have ever conceived, though the programming language used in Emacs is a dialect of Lisp the developers had made themselves. There are more keybinds to memorize compared to Vim, though Vim keybinds can be added using the Evil Mode package in any Emacs package manager to get the best of both worlds in Emacs. Once one gets a handle of the steep learning curve for Emacs, it's customizable in every imaginable way almost.
These four categories will get you started on your privacy journey, though I covered things a developer might want. I have plans on more lists to compile once I get my ducks in a row on what I want to cover here on Nostr in a longform format. Feel free to let me know if you have recommendations for me to write about, and I can do some digging on that if it isn't a rabbit hole.

2025-06-02 17:39:21There’s a recurring fantasy in psychedelic circles — whispered at festivals, joked about on forums, and half-seriously invoked in moments of exasperation with the world…
What if we just put LSD in the water supply?
On the surface, the idea almost sounds logical. By forcing an unsuspecting population into the depths of a collective psychedelic experience, people would be compelled to confront their illusions, dissolve their egos, and emerge more empathetic, self-aware, and connected — ultimately leading to a more compassionate, enlightened society.
But for that to work, you have to make a big (and possibly dangerous) assumption — that psychedelics are inherently benevolent.
That if everyone were dosed with LSD — unknowingly and all at once — it would trigger a kind of mass awakening. A spiritual jailbreak. A shortcut to utopia.
Here's why that isn't going to happen…
(This post was originally published on the Tripsitter Newsletter).
The Origins of the LSD-in-the-Water Fantasy
The idea of slipping LSD into the public water supply didn’t come from hippie utopians. It came from the CIA.
As part of the now-infamous MK-ULTRA program in the 1950s and 60s, the CIA tested the viability of LSD as a tool for mind control and psychological warfare. One documented proposal involved contaminating the water supply of an entire town with LSD in order to incapacitate the population.
The goal was simply to "see what happens."
Luckily for the town's unwitting citizens, the plan was eventually abandoned. The reason listed was that LSD is highly unstable in water, especially chlorinated tap water, and ensuring each citizen received an effective dose was close to impossible. One person might receive nothing, another a 10x dose.
The science ultimately didn’t work — but the idea seed had been planted.
The concept has resurfaced many times since then — starting with Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters — a rowdy group famous for their “acid tests” — where strangers were encouraged to have a sip of the group's electric Kool-Aid, which was infused with high-dose LSD. The group believed they could deliver mass enlightenment to the world through LSD.
While they never actually spiked a municipal water system, they often joked about it. To them, turning on the whole world was more than just a prank — it was a prophecy.
Over the years, other figures echoed the same idea — some more seriously than others.
In 1966, London Life Magazine ran an alarming interview with a former MP named Dr. Donald Johnson, who claimed that “it is quite feasible that LSD could be used to take over a city or even a country… If it were put into reservoirs, it would disable people sufficiently for an enemy to take control.”
Despite the drama, it never happened. For one simple reason: it wouldn’t work.
Why Adding LSD To The Water Supply Wouldn’t Work
The plan to add LSD to the water supply falls apart on three fronts — it’s chemically unstable in chlorinated water, it's wildly expensive, and it's psychologically unpredictable — sometimes causing people to become more extreme, not less.
1. The Chemistry Doesn’t Work
LSD is undeniably one of the strongest psychedelic compounds, gram for gram, in the world — just one ten-thousandth of a gram (100 micrograms) is enough to trigger a full-blown, reality-melting experience.
While powerful, LSD is also surprisingly fragile.
UV light, heat, oxygen, and chlorine — all common elements in municipal water systems — rapidly degrade LSD, rendering it inactive. This is why your tab of LSD typically arrives both wrapped tightly in tinfoil and in a sealed plastic bag. If you leave your tabs out for even just a few hours, the potency could drop as much as 50%.
Technically, LSD could remain chemically stable in water for around 3 months as long as the pH and temperature remained stable.
However, the main issue is that municipal water supplies are heavily chlorinated — typically around 1–4 ppm. Given that a 10:1 ratio of free chlorine to LSD is enough to neutralize the compound, even standard chlorination levels are more than sufficient to break down over 90% of the LSD within just a few hours.
This makes it virtually impossible to control dosing at the point of delivery. By the time the water reaches someone’s tap, there’s no telling how much (if any) LSD is left — and no way to ensure that any two people receive the same amount.
Between the chlorine, fluctuating temperatures, exposure to sunlight, long pipe systems, and transit time, adding LSD to a public water is simply a waste of LSD.
It's (theoretically) possible that one could add about 10X the normal dose of LSD per 1 ppm of chlorine in order to counteract this issue.
In places like the United States, which typically fall on the high-end of this chlorination range (up to 4 ppm), you'd need to 40X the target dose of LSD for every 1 liter of water.
Other places that use much less chlorine, such as Iceland, Australia, and Germany could get away with far less LSD — but even then, degradation from heat, oxygen, and UV exposure would remain a serious issue.
As you can probably imagine, the amount of LSD you’d need to add to achieve this amount across an entire city’s water supply would cost a fortune.
Let's break it down.
2. It Would Cost An Absurd Amount of Money
Let’s say you really did want to dose an entire town through the water system. How much LSD would you need?
For the LSD to have any significant impact on people, you'd need to provide a full psychedelic dose — a simple microdose wouldn't cut it.
A standard oral dose of LSD is about 100–150 micrograms (μg). That’s 0.00015 grams.
In order to ensure a full dose, you'd want the concentration to be high enough for a full dose in a standard ~500 mL glass of water.
This means the concentration needs to maintain the equivalent of 150 μg of active LSD for every 500 mL of water — or around 300 μg/L.
As we've already covered, LSD breaks down rapidly in chlorinated water. To compensate for degradation, you'd need to increase the dose by 10–40x (depending on the local chlorination rate) — that works out to a whopping 3000–12,000 micrograms of LSD for every litre of water.
That's A LOT of acid.
And it’s not just drinking water you’d be dosing — it’s everything. Showers, toilets, laundry, dishwashers, sprinklers. There’s no way to isolate only the water people ingest. You’d have to flood the entire municipal water system.
To get a better idea of just how much LSD this would require, let’s look at real-world cities and their actual daily water usage:
- Burlington, USA (50K Pop.) — 14.2 million liters/day (322 L/person)
- Sacramento, USA (500K Pop.) — 303 million liters/day (606 L/person)
- Calgary, Canada (1.2M Pop.) — 485 million liters/day (373 L/person)
- London, UK (9M Pop.) — 2,000 million liters/day (222 L/person)
Across these cities, the average per capita usage comes out to around 404 liters per person per day. Obviously, this can vary as hotter, drier places like Sacramento use more water per capita than wetter regions like Seattle.
From this 404 L/person/day estimate, we can extrapolate roughly how much LSD we'd need to dose each person with 150 micrograms of active LSD (including an average 20X degradation buffer):
Note: This is bulk or production pricing ($2000/gram). Street-level LSD sells as high as $100K per gram (or anywhere in between).
By the time you reach a population of 500K or more, the idea becomes not only logistically impossible, but financially absurd — into the millions.
On the high-end of the estimate (assuming the city uses around 4 ppm chlorine and the cost to acquire the LSD is closer to $3000/gram), dosing a city could cost as much as $15M per 1 million people.
3. LSD Doesn't Actually Change Our Minds
Even if some rich eccentric decided to blow millions of dollars to dose an entire population with LSD through the water supply, it still wouldn’t achieve what they were hoping for.
In the 1960s, psychedelics became synonymous with peace, love, and rebellion. The hippie movement embraced the idea that LSD itself was the force behind their anti-establishment ideals. But this narrative overlooked a key truth: LSD doesn’t create beliefs — it magnifies them.
Modern research has shown that far right or left-leaning individuals often become more entrenched in their existing views after taking psychedelics — not more open-minded.
One study found that psychedelics can actually reinforce authoritarian tendencies when taken in certain psychological or cultural contexts. There are just as many far-right psychonauts as there are liberal or spiritual ones.
There's even research showing that LSD (and other psychedelics) can generate completely false insights or beliefs.
Regardless, if psychedelics were inherently utopia-generating, we’d likely have seen one by now.
Humans have been taking psychedelic substances for thousands of years — yet no culture has achieved lasting peace through them (or anything else).
Take the Aztecs as an example — this was a society known to use psilocybin mushrooms ceremonially, and their rulers frequently consulted plant spirits for guidance on matters of war, agriculture, and governance. These were not casual users; they built entire rituals and temples around these practices.
And yet, this is the same society that routinely carried out mass human sacrifice — often in gruesome and ritualized ways.
Just read this account from Bernal Díaz del Castillo’s book The True History of the Conquest of New Spain (1568):
“They strike open the wretched Indian’s chest with flint knives and hastily tear out the palpitating heart which, with the blood, they present to the idols in whose name they have performed the sacrifice. They cut off the arms, thighs, and head, eating the arms and thighs at ceremonial banquets. The head they hang up on a beam, and the body of the sacrificed man is not eaten but given to the beasts of prey.”
That doesn’t sound like a society on the brink of enlightenment.
Other societies like the Eleusinian Greeks were also known for their deep traditions in psychedelic usage and spiritual ceremony — and still, these societies came nowhere close to a utopia in which all people were equal, free, or safe from violence.
So no, LSD won't save us from ourselves. It merely amplifies the stories we’re already telling ourselves — for better or worse.
Psychedelics Are Pluripotent
The notion of an “LSD messiah” — that dosing the world could suddenly awaken everyone to peace and harmony — is based on a flawed assumption: that psychedelics have an inherent moral direction.
Psychedelics are non-specific amplifiers — they don’t implant a particular set of values; instead, they magnify the cultural, political, and psychological contexts already within our minds.
Some might argue that LSD, being synthetic, is somehow disconnected from the moral logic of the natural world — but that’s just the appeal to nature fallacy in disguise: the assumption that if something is natural, it must be good.
So what about our psychedelic plant teachers — things like ayahuasca, magic mushrooms, and mescaline? Are they guides toward truth, or cultural and moral relativists?
In a sense, they're both. These compounds are politically pluripotent — meaning they can be absorbed into almost any belief system. Contrary to the idea that psychedelics naturally foster progressive, harmonious societies, research shows that authoritarian and hierarchical ideologies can just as easily assimilate the experience of interconnection.
And not all plants come cloaked in kindness. Datura, borrachero, and other deliriants have long been used not to enlighten, but to bewitch, confuse, or control. These spirits aren’t here for free love or utopia — they can just as easily tear a person apart as put them back together.
In short, while psychedelics may open the door to new ways of seeing, they do not guarantee a better world. They don’t lead — they amplify. And what gets amplified depends entirely on who’s holding the mic.
There Are No Shortcuts to Utopia
Whether it's through water supplies or one-dose revolutions, there is no magic button for enlightenment. Psychedelics might shake us awake, but they don’t walk the path for us.
They can open doors, offer insights, even dissolve illusions — but integration, growth, and change still require effort and intention. If psychedelics are teachers, we're still the ones who have to study, reflect, and apply the lessons they give us.
There’s no skipping the work. No molecule will save us from ourselves.

South Sudan’s political landscape has undergone significant shifts, with Bol Mel’s rapid rise sparking intense debate. His appointment as First Vice President by President Salva Kiir, along with his roles as Special Presidential Envoy for Sudan, Deputy Secretary for the SPLM Party, and his promotion to General, has led many to speculate that Kiir is grooming him as his successor.
This shift in leadership strategy contrasts sharply with South Sudan’s historical pattern of political succession, traditionally shaped by military and revolutionary credentials. Bol Mel’s path to power, however, appears orchestrated through political favoritism rather than earned through military or democratic legitimacy. His ascent has raised fundamental questions about his leadership capabilities, legitimacy, and public acceptance in a country where succession has long been determined by hierarchical seniority within the SPLM/A.
As South Sudan approaches another critical political transition, understanding the historical foundations of leadership in the SPLM/A and contrasting past leaders’ paths to power against Bol Mel’s political trajectory offers valuable insight into whether his leadership will be accepted or challenged by the South Sudanese people.
The Rise of the SPLM and Dr. John Garang’s Leadership
Before the armed struggle erupted in 1983, Southern Sudanese practiced multiparty democracy, electing their High Executive Council leaders through a democratic system, despite periodic interference from the Sudanese regime. However, the formation of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) fundamentally altered South Sudan’s political direction.
The SPLM was both a liberation movement and a military force, led by Dr. John Garang, who simultaneously held the positions of political leader and Commander-in-Chief of the SPLA. Unlike previous leaders who championed South Sudanese autonomy, Garang pursued the New Sudan ideology, advocating for unity rather than separation. Under his leadership, alternative ideologies, including independence, were discouraged, forcing veteran Southern Sudanese politicians who had joined the liberation struggle to align with the SPLM’s ideological framework.
Dr. John Garang’s Path to Leadership
Despite being a colonel in the Sudanese army, Dr. John Garang had never held a political position in either the Sudanese government or Southern Sudan’s administration. He was largely unknown to Southern Sudanese civilians, except for his military colleagues, who recognized his political inclinations.
In 1983, following Major Kerbino Kuanyin Bol’s rebellion, Garang, along with other commanders, joined the armed struggle. While South Sudan had numerous seasoned politicians from various parties, they were excluded from forming the SPLM, consolidating Garang’s political and military dominance.
Resistance from veterans of Anyanya-Two initially challenged Garang’s leadership, but his close allies—Kerbino Kuanyin Bol, William Nyuon Bany, and Salva Kiir Mayardit—helped secure his authority, allowing him to establish both the SPLM and SPLA as the defining forces of Southern Sudan and the Sudan’s liberation movement.
Garang’s Leadership and Public Acceptance
Garang’s ability to lead the liberation struggle was rooted in his military training and higher education, qualities that Southern Sudanese recognized and embraced. Unlike other leaders, he did not rely on political favoritism—his success was a result of his charisma, strategic thinking, and ability to define South Sudan’s grievances on a national platform.
Under Garang, Southern Sudanese felt politically represented for the first time in Sudanese politics. His leadership allowed him to articulate the injustices faced by South Sudan and marginalized regions, gaining him widespread support.
Upon his tragic death, the leadership baton was passed to Salva Kiir, who inherited power through the traditional military succession line, marking a stark contrast to the political path Bol Mel is now taking.
Salva Kiir’s Rise to Power and the Contrast with Bol Mel’s Leadership
Following Dr. Garang’s death, General Salva Kiir, as Garang’s Vice President, was swiftly confirmed as his successor. His rise to power followed the SPLM/A’s hierarchical line of succession, making his leadership widely accepted by South Sudanese.
Unlike Garang, who pursued unity with Sudan, Kiir was widely perceived as a champion of Southern Sudan’s independence. This belief helped solidify his leadership, ensuring broad public support as he led the country through the 2011 Referendum, ultimately becoming South Sudan’s first President.
In stark contrast, Bol Mel’s rise lacks revolutionary legitimacy, as his leadership appears imposed rather than organically earned. His absence from the liberation struggle, coupled with allegations of corruption, places his acceptance at serious risk.
Bol Mel’s Business and Political Credibility: Challenges to His Legitimacy
Bol Mel’s business background, rather than military credentials, forms the foundation of his political presence. Questions surrounding how he amassed his wealth, particularly his control over major government-funded projects, oil exports, and road construction, have made his legitimacy a contentious issue.
Public concerns over his business dealings, particularly his alleged involvement in crude oil quotas meant for infrastructure development, fuel accusations of corruption, as roads promised through oil-funded projects remain unfinished despite years of revenue collection.
Unlike past SPLM leaders, whose military and revolutionary credentials secured their leadership, Bol Mel’s reputation is largely built on financial power, making his credibility in leading the country questionable.
Question of Bol Mel’s Political and Generational Positioning
While Bol Mel is portrayed as a younger generation leader, the SPLM has many capable younger members who would warrant legitimate public support. His rise does not represent a merit-based generational shift, but rather political favoritism engineered by President Kiir.
Furthermore, the SPLM party has gradually lost its ideological foundation, existing more in name than in practice. Loyal SPLM/A veterans have been sidelined, while outsiders, who joined after the peace agreement, now dominate political leadership.
Kiir’s systematic removal of key SPLM/A officers appears to be clearing the path for Bol Mel, making his transition controversial rather than widely accepted.
Conclusion & Summary
Bol Mel’s rise to power significantly challenges South Sudan’s traditional leadership structure. Unlike previous leaders who earned legitimacy through revolutionary struggle, Bol Mel’s leadership appears as favoritism rather than earned.
His military credentials are weak, his business empire is tied to corruption allegations, and his public support base is limited.
The South Sudanese people yearn for strong leadership—one that fights corruption, invests in development, and fosters peace in a deeply divided country. Bol Mel does not exhibit these qualities at present, which will complicate his acceptance if he ascends to power.
Ultimately, South Sudan’s next leader must unify the country, promote development, and restore political trust—qualities that Bol Mel has yet to demonstrate. This raises questions about whether his leadership will bring stability or intensify political turmoil.

Panama City Mayor Mizrachi: “Bitcoin Is Not Just Safe, It’s Prosperous”At the 2025 Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, the Director of Bitcoin Beach Mike Peterson, the Presidential Advisors of Building Bitcoin Country El Salvador Max & Stacy and the Mayor City of Panama Mayer Mizrachi discussed Bitcoins future in Panama.
At the beginning of the panel, Is Panama Next? El Salvador Leading The Region For Bitcoin Adoption, Mayor Mizrachi started by mentioning, “We accept Bitcoin. The city gets paid in Bitcoin, but it receives in dollars through an intermediary processing, payments processor. Bitcoin is not just safe. It’s prosperous.”
Max commented about the scammers in crypto and how El Salvador is managing it.
“We did a couple of things early on, one was to create The Bitcoin Office which will be directly reporting to the President, and then also we passed a law which will say bitcoin is money and everything else is an unregistered security,” said Max.
Mike Peterson stated, “the access of Bitcoin in Central America to do battle against the globalists that have always looked at the regionist back yard. This is intolerable and this is going to change right now.” After Mizrachi commented, “Imagine yourself in an economic block powered by El Salvador, supported by Panama and the rest will come.”
Stacy reminded everybody about El Salvador’s School system.
“El Salvador is the first country in the world to have a comprehensive public school financial literacy education program from 7 years old,” mentioned Stacy. “These are little kids, learning financial literacy.”
Max ended the panel by saying, “the US game theory right? Because the US wants to buy a lot of Bitcoin, so if Panama wants to buy a lot of bitcoin then it helps everybody in the US. This is the beautiful expression of game theory perfectly aligned in the protocol that is changing the world that we live in. And on the street level what bitcoin does to the population is to go from a spending mentality to a saving mentality.”

The Debt Train Has No Brakes: Lyn Alden Makes the Case for BTC at Bitcoin 2025“Nothing stops this train,” Lyn Alden initially stated at Bitcoin 2025, walking the audience through a data-rich presentation that made one thing clear: the U.S. fiscal system is out of control—and Bitcoin is more necessary than ever.
Her first chart, sourced from the Federal Reserve’s FRED database, displayed a stark decoupling: the unemployment rate is down, yet the fiscal deficit has surged past 7% of GDP. “This started around 2017, went into overdrive during the pandemic, and hasn’t corrected,” Alden said. “That’s not normal. We’re in a new era.”
She didn’t mince words. “Nothing stops this train because there are no brakes attached to it anymore. The brakes are heavily impaired.
Why should Bitcoiners care? Because, as Alden explained, “it matters for asset prices—especially anything scarce.” She displayed a gold vs. real rates chart that showed gold soaring as real interest rates plunged. “Five years ago, most would have said Bitcoin couldn’t thrive in a high-rate environment. Yet here we are—Bitcoin over $100K, gold at new highs, and banks breaking under pressure.”
Next came what she called “The Turning Point”—a side-by-side showing how public debt growth overtook private sector debt post-2008, flipping a decades-long norm. “This is inflationary, persistent, and it means the Fed can’t slow things down anymore.”
Another chart revealed why rising interest rates are now accelerating the deficit. “They’ve lost their brakes. Raising rates just makes the federal interest bill explode faster than it slows bank lending.”
Alden called it a ponzi: “The system is built on constant growth. Like a shark, it dies if it stops swimming.”
Her slide showed a relentless rise in total debt versus base money—except for a jolt in 2008, and again after 2020. “This isn’t going backward. Ever.”
So why Bitcoin? “Because it’s the opposite. Scarce, decentralized, and mathematically capped,” Alden concluded. “There are two reasons nothing stops this train: math and human nature. Bitcoin is the mirror of this system—and the best protection from it.”

2025-06-02 16:24:06Amerikai nukleáris végrehajtási rendeletek és szakpolitikai fejlemények
2025.05.23-án az amerikai kormány négy jelentős végrehajtási rendeletet adott ki, amelyek célja egy „nukleáris reneszánsz” felgyorsítása a következő 25 évben. Ezek a rendeletek egy, az egész kormányzatra kiterjedő tervet határoznak meg a 400 GW nukleáris kapacitás elérésére 2050-ig, lefedve az ipar minden területét: engedélyezés, üzemanyagciklus, reaktortechnológia, ellátási lánc, munkaerő, hulladékkezelés, finanszírozás és nemzetközi megállapodások. Azonnali intézkedések között szerepel a biztonságos hazai üzemanyag-ellátás megteremtése, szabályozási reformok, a reaktor-telepítések felgyorsítása, valamint pénzügyi és diplomáciai eszközök alkalmazása az amerikai nukleáris technológia belföldi és nemzetközi előmozdítására. A rendeletek gyorsított szabályozási eljárásokat írnak elő – például az NRC-nek (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) 18 hónapon belül kell elbírálnia az új reaktorokra vonatkozó kérelmeket –, valamint kibővített szerepet adnak az Energiaügyi és Védelmi Minisztériumoknak az engedélyezésben és telepítésben, beleértve a szövetségi földeken való elhelyezést is.
Az NRC jóváhagyta a NuScale kis moduláris reaktor (SMR) tervét
Az amerikai NRC jóváhagyta a NuScale Power 462 MW kapacitású kis moduláris reaktor (SMR) erőművének tervét, ami jelentős mérföldkő az új típusú nukleáris technológiák bevezetésében. Ez az engedélyezés a tervezettnél korábban történt, így a NuScale az egyetlen SMR, amely NRC-tervjóváhagyással rendelkezik, és technológiája hivatkozási alap lehet a jövőbeli építési és üzemeltetési engedélykérelmekben. A tervet kifejezetten nagy adatközpontok és ipari ügyfelek számára fejlesztették, a gyártási kapacitás már elérhető a dél-koreai Doosan vállalatnál. A NuScale várhatóan 2025 végéig szerzi meg első amerikai ügyfelét, és az első erőmű akár 2030-ra üzembe léphet, ha sikerül gyorsan szerződést kötni. Az NRC jóváhagyása szélesebb körű lendületet ad az amerikai fejlett nukleáris iparnak, beleértve a közelmúltbeli végrehajtási rendeleteket is, amelyek célja a reaktor-telepítések bővítése és a hazai ellátási láncok megerősítése.
Amerikai uránellátás és piaci helyzet
Az amerikai uránszektor kritikus ponthoz érkezett, kétpárti politikai támogatással és az adatközpontok, valamint az alapvető villamosenergia-igények növekvő keresletével. Az iparági vezetők egy közelgő kínálati hiányra figyelmeztetnek, mivel a magas minőségű készletek kimerülnek, és az új termelés beindítása nehézségekbe ütközik. Az új termelés ösztönző ára jelenleg 100 dollár felett van fontonként, ami meghaladja a jelenlegi spot árakat, így a már működő termelők előnyben vannak. A legutóbbi végrehajtási rendeletek és a Section 232 vizsgálatok megerősítik a kormány elkötelezettségét a hazai urántermelés és az ellátási lánc biztonsága mellett. Az orosz urán tilalom, amely 2028-ban lép teljesen életbe, tovább szűkíti a nyugati ellátást, a mentességek várhatóan a geopolitikai feszültségek miatt hamarabb megszűnnek. Kína gyors nukleáris fejlesztése tovább növeli a keresletet, ami kettéosztott globális uránpiacot eredményez.
Az amerikai urándúsítási kapacitás bővítése
Az Urenco USA megkezdte a termelést legújabb gázcentrifuga-egységében a New Mexico-i National Enrichment Facility-ben, ezzel mintegy 15%-kal bővítve a hazai dúsítási kapacitást. Ez a bővítés célja, hogy csökkentse az orosz ellátástól való függőséget, és támogassa az amerikai nukleáris üzemanyag-ellátási láncot. Az Urenco USA, az ország egyetlen kereskedelmi dúsított urán előállítója, jelenleg az amerikai atomerőművek szükségletének mintegy egyharmadát fedezi, és további bővítést fontolgat a piaci kereslet függvényében.
Nemzetközi nukleáris energetikai fejlemények
Globális nukleáris reaktor-építési hullám van kibontakozóban, élen az Egyesült Királysággal, Törökországgal, Lengyelországgal, valamint ázsiai és afrikai országokkal. Több mint 30 ország vállalta, hogy 2050-ig megháromszorozza a globális nukleáris kapacitást a nettó zéró kibocsátás és az energiabiztonság érdekében. Az atomtechnológia exportja továbbra is jelentős bevételi forrás Oroszország számára, miközben az Egyesült Államok jogalkotási és szakpolitikai lépéseket tesz a nukleáris export és együttműködés vezető szerepének biztosítására; a Szenátus Külügyi Bizottsága hamarosan tárgyalja azt a törvényjavaslatot, amely az amerikai nukleáris exportot hivatott erősíteni, hogy Kínát és Oroszországot megelőzze a globális piacon.
Ipari partnerségek és katonai alkalmazások
Az amerikai Védelmi Minisztérium nyolc céget választott ki mikroreaktor-technológiák fejlesztésére katonai létesítmények számára, azzal a céllal, hogy decentralizált, skálázható mikroreaktor-rendszereket hozzanak létre kritikus energiaigények kielégítésére. Ez a kezdeményezés a kereskedelmi mikroreaktor-fejlesztést és a kapcsolódó ellátási láncok megerősítését is ösztönzi, az NRC szabályozási útvonalainak kihasználásával.
Érintetti bevonás és konferenciák
A Nemzetközi Atomenergia Ügynökség (IAEA) nemrégiben zárta első, a nukleáris programok érintetti bevonásáról szóló nemzetközi konferenciáját Bécsben, amely hangsúlyozta a nyilvánosság és az érintettek bevonásának fontosságát a nukleáris energiafejlesztés minden szakaszában, hogy bizalmat építsenek és megalapozott döntéshozatalt támogassanak.

2025-06-02 20:36:09The regulatory whiplash in crypto is costing investors billions while regulators play musical chairs with their own rules. The SEC's sudden reversal on staking—now claiming it's not a security after years of enforcement actions—exposes a troubling pattern where innovation suffers while bureaucrats figure out what they actually believe. This flip-flop isn't just confusing; it's financially devastating for companies that paid massive settlements based on guidance that's now apparently wrong. Meanwhile, Bitcoin quietly climbs past $105,000 as institutional money pours in through ETFs, proving that mainstream adoption continues despite the regulatory chaos. The question isn't whether crypto will survive government confusion—it's whether America will maintain its financial leadership while regulators struggle to understand the technology they're supposed to oversee. Will your investments be the next casualty of regulatory indecision?

2025-06-02 15:58:09Never get too attached to something to the extent that you can live without it
The Weight We Pile On I’ve noticed something about myself lately—most of my worries, my sleepless nights, my tight chest—they’re born from my own hands. We cause anxiety, stress, and headaches by ourselves, don’t we? It’s a truth I can’t dodge, a mirror I can’t unsee. I cling too hard, I grip too tight, I fight for things that don’t need a fight. And in the end, I’m the one left aching, shaking, breaking. It’s not the world doing this to me—it’s me. I stack the bricks of stress, one by one, until I’m crushed beneath. I’ve learned the hard way that attachment is a thief, sneaking in to steal my peace.
The Trap of Holding Too Close I used to think love meant holding on with all my might—people, dreams, plans, tight in my sight. But oh, how that backfired, how it wired me wrong. The tighter I held, the louder the bell of stress would ring, a sting I couldn’t shake. I’d lose sleep over a job I might not get, fret over a friend who didn’t text back, or rack my brain over a future I can’t predict. Attachment became my chain, my pain, my rain. I’d pour my soul into something—someone—and when it slipped, I’d trip, I’d fall, I’d call it a loss. But was it? Or was I just too attached, too latched, too matched to something I thought I couldn’t live without?
Learning to Let Go Here’s what I’m teaching myself now: never get too attached to something to the extent you can’t live without it. It’s a rhythm I’m learning—release, breathe, ease. Life flows better when I don’t clutch. That doesn’t mean I don’t care—it means I care enough to set it free.
I think of the times I let go—a relationship that wasn’t mine to force, a goal that wasn’t my course. The headaches faded, the stress unbraided itself from my mind. I found I could live without it, thrive without it, jive without it. What’s meant for me stays; what’s not drifts away. And that’s okay—it’s a sway I can dance to.
Freedom in the Balance I’m not saying detachment is easy—it’s a battle, a rattle, a shift. But there’s freedom in it, a lightness I can’t resist. When I stop tying my worth to things—to rings, to strings, to wings—I stop the cycle of self-made misery. Anxiety shrinks when I don’t overthink. Stress unwinds when I don’t bind myself to what’s out of reach.
I’ve started asking myself: Can I live without this? If the answer’s no, I know I’ve gone too far, too deep, too steep. So, I pull back, I slack the rope, I cope with grace. Life’s too short to let my own hands choke my joy.
A Lighter Way to Live We cause anxiety, stress, and headaches by ourselves—I see it now, clear as day, bright as May. But we can stop. We can drop the load, unload the strain, regain the calm. For me, it’s about loving without owning, dreaming without drowning, living without frowning over what might slip.
I’ll hold what matters, but loosely, smoothly, coolly. Because in the end, I don’t want to be the one tying knots in my own heart. I want to live free—free from me, free to be. And that’s a rhythm worth chasing, a peace worth embracing.

2025-06-02 15:22:40Bitcoin was born as a middle finger to the financial establishment. Its 2008 whitepaper, penned by the enigmatic Satoshi Nakamoto, promised a peer-to-peer (P2P) electronic cash system—a decentralized rebellion against state-controlled money, sparked in the ashes of the global financial crisis. It was a cypherpunk dream: a currency free from banks, governments, and middlemen. But somewhere along the way, Bitcoin lost its soul. What was meant to be a fluid, practical currency has morphed into a clunky, expensive digital vault—a gilded cage for your wealth. Let’s unpack why Bitcoin is broken, why its fixes are flimsy, and why its rebellious spirit is fading into a state-backed shadow of its former self.
The P2P Promise: Shattered by Sky-High Fees Bitcoin’s core idea was simple: send money directly to anyone, anywhere, without a bank skimming off the top. Fast forward to today, and that vision is in tatters. Imagine you’ve got $34 in Bitcoin to send to a friend. By the time it arrives, after transaction fees, they might get a measly $2. According to data from BitInfoCharts, the average Bitcoin transaction fee in early 2025 hovers around $20–$30, with spikes as high as $60 during network congestion. For context, that’s more than the cost of a Venmo transfer or even some international wire fees.
This isn’t a one-off issue. Wallets like Guarda, Exodus, or even hardware wallets like Ledger face the same problem: Bitcoin’s base layer (Layer 1) is so congested that fees make small transactions absurdly impractical. Want to buy a $5 coffee with Bitcoin? You’d lose more in fees than the coffee’s worth. This isn’t P2P money—it’s confiscatory, inefficient, and anything but user-friendly.
Lightning Network: A Band-Aid on a Broken System Cue the Bitcoin maximalists: “But we have the Lightning Network!” Sure, Lightning was introduced as a second-layer solution to scale Bitcoin for smaller, faster transactions. It’s a network of off-chain payment channels designed to handle microtransactions with lower fees. Sounds great, right? Except it’s a patchwork fix that betrays Bitcoin’s original vision.
First, Lightning wasn’t part of Satoshi’s plan—it’s an afterthought, a kludge to address the base layer’s limitations. Second, it’s not universally adopted. According to 1ML, as of early 2025, only about 15% of Bitcoin wallets natively support Lightning. Major wallets like Coinbase Wallet and Trust Wallet still require workarounds or third-party integrations. Why? Because implementing Lightning is complex, and for most users, it involves trusting third-party nodes or custodians to route payments. So much for “be your own bank.”
Worse, running your own Lightning node requires technical know-how—think Linux commands, channel management, and constant monitoring. A 2024 survey by Bitcoin Magazine found that only 8% of Bitcoin users run their own nodes, Lightning or otherwise. For the average person, Lightning isn’t a solution; it’s a hurdle. And if you’re relying on a third party, you’re back to square one: trusting someone else with your money.
Take Adrián Bernabeu, author of Bitcoinismo, who preaches the gospel of self-custody while simultaneously hyping Lightning for micropayments. It’s a contradiction. You can’t champion “not your keys, not your crypto” while pushing a system that often requires third-party intermediaries for practical use. It’s like telling someone to live off-grid but handing them a generator that only works with a utility company’s permission.
A Gilded Cage: Bitcoin as a Store of Value So, if Bitcoin isn’t practical for payments, what’s it good for? The narrative has shifted: Bitcoin is now a “store of value,” a digital gold. Its price has soared—hitting $80,000 in late 2024, per CoinGecko—and its fixed supply of 21 million coins makes it a hedge against inflation. But this shift isn’t just about market dynamics; it’s a consequence of Bitcoin’s own flaws.
Moving Bitcoin is so expensive that it’s often smarter to hodl than to spend. Your wallet becomes an orange-tinted cage, trapping your wealth in a system where transferring value eats away at your holdings. Sure, you could wait for fees to drop, but that’s another nail in the P2P coffin. Real money doesn’t make you wait for a discount to use it. Imagine telling someone, “Hold off on buying groceries until the dollar’s transaction fees go down.” It’s absurd.
OP_RETURN and the Spam Problem: A Network Clogged with Junk Bitcoin’s blockchain isn’t just struggling with fees; it’s also drowning in digital clutter. The OP_RETURN function, meant for embedding small amounts of data (like metadata for smart contracts), has become a dumping ground for everything from NFT inscriptions to random spam. In 2023, Glassnode reported that OP_RETURN transactions accounted for nearly 20% of Bitcoin’s block space during peak periods, crowding out legitimate transactions and driving up fees.
Proposed fixes from Bitcoin Core and Knots—like limiting OP_RETURN data size or tweaking mempool rules—are more Band-Aids. They don’t address the root issue: Bitcoin’s block size limit. Capped at 1MB (or roughly 4MB with SegWit), Bitcoin can only process about 3–7 transactions per second, compared to Visa’s 24,000. Increasing the block size could ease congestion and lower fees, but Bitcoin Core developers have resisted this for years, citing concerns about centralization.
Here’s the kicker: Bitcoin Cash (BCH), a 2017 fork of Bitcoin, raised its block size to 32MB and processes transactions at a fraction of the cost. BCH’s average fee in 2025 is under $0.01, per BitInfoCharts. Bitcoin maximalists dismiss BCH as a failed experiment, but it’s hard to argue with the numbers. A larger block size reduces spam’s impact because legitimate transactions dominate. Admitting this, though, would mean conceding defeat in a years-long ideological battle. And Bitcoiners hate losing.
From Rebellion to Regulatory Lapdog Bitcoin’s cypherpunk roots are fading fast. What started as a revolt against state control is cozying up to governments. El Salvador made Bitcoin legal tender in 2021, but its state-backed Chivo wallet (built on Lightning) is riddled with bugs and usability issues, according to a 2024 Reuters report. Meanwhile, Bitcoin Core developers have lobbied for institutional adoption, with figures like Michael Saylor advocating for Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset for governments and corporations.
This is a far cry from Satoshi’s vision. A 2023 post on X revealed that Core developers met with U.S. regulators to discuss Bitcoin’s role in national reserves—a move that reeks of compromise. The same system Bitcoin was meant to disrupt is now being courted. If governments start subsidizing Bitcoin mining to protect their reserves, as some speculate, the irony will be complete: a decentralized dream bankrolled by fiat.
The Looming Threats: Quantum and Mining Woes Bitcoin’s problems don’t end with fees and politics. Quantum computing looms on the horizon. A 2024 MIT Technology Review article estimated that quantum computers capable of breaking Bitcoin’s ECDSA cryptography could emerge by 2030. This threatens “Satoshi-era” wallets—those holding early, unspent coins—potentially undermining trust in the entire blockchain.
Then there’s mining. Bitcoin’s proof-of-work system is energy-intensive, with global mining consuming 150 TWh annually, per the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index. As block rewards halve (the next halving is in 2028), miners will rely more on transaction fees. Higher fees mean even less practicality for P2P payments, locking Bitcoin further into its “digital gold” trap. If states step in to subsidize mining, as some X posts have speculated, Bitcoin’s anti-establishment ethos will be dead in the water.
The Final Irony: Paying for Freedom with Fiat Bitcoin promised to replace fiat currency, but its flaws are pushing it toward a bizarre dependency on the very system it sought to destroy. If governments subsidize mining or adopt Bitcoin as a reserve asset, we’ll be left with a bitter irony: a supposedly revolutionary asset propped up by fiat. The cypherpunk dream will have come full circle, not as a triumph, but as a compromise.
So, is Bitcoin broken? Yes. It’s a victim of its own success—too valuable to spend, too clunky to use, and too compromised to stay true to its roots. The question isn’t whether Bitcoin can be fixed; it’s whether its community has the courage to admit what’s wrong. Until then, your Bitcoin wallet remains a shiny, orange prison—a relic of a rebellion that forgot how to fight.

2025-06-02 16:04:15I still remember the day I became obsessed with photography. I was 16, and my parents gifted me a vintage camera. From that moment on, I was hooked. I spent hours clicking pictures, experimenting with lighting, and editing my shots. My friends and family would often tease me, saying I was too focused on photography, but I couldn't help it. It was my passion.
As time passed, my obsession only grew stronger. I'd wake up early, grab my camera, and head out to capture the perfect shot. I'd spend hours editing, trying to get the perfect blend of colors and lighting. My grades suffered, and my relationships began to fray, but I couldn't stop. Photography had become my everything.
One day, I landed a small gig with a local magazine. They wanted me to shoot a cover story, and I was over the moon. I poured my heart and soul into that shoot, and the results were stunning. The magazine loved my work, and soon, I was getting more assignments. My obsession had finally paid off.
But with success came the realization that my obsession had taken a toll on my life. I was exhausted, and my relationships were strained. I had to learn to balance my passion with self-care and prioritize my well-being.
Today, I'm grateful for my obsession. It taught me discipline, creativity, and perseverance. I've learned to channel my energy into constructive pursuits and make time for the people and things that matter. My obsession still drives me, but now it's a force for good.
Have you ever had an obsession that changed your life?
But sometimes obsession can be a bad thing if it reaches the stage of death. You say"i can't do without it", it is astage. You should try and look for a way out.

2025-06-02 11:48:00- The Foundation (12th Century)
The territory that would become Portugal was originally part of the Kingdom of León and Castile. But in 1128, the young nobleman Afonso Henriques confronted his own mother at the Battle of São Mamede, taking control of the County of Portugal (Condado Portucalense).
In 1139, after winning the Battle of Ourique, he declared himself King of Portugal. Independence was recognized in 1143 by the King of León and confirmed by the Pope in 1179.
- Expansion and the discoveries (14th–16th Centuries)
In the following centuries, Portugal consolidated its territory and set out to sea. The 15th century marked the beginning of the Portuguese Discoveries:
🚢 1419–1420 – Discovery of Madeira and the Azores 🚢 1488 – Bartolomeu Dias rounds the Cape of Good Hope 🚢 1498 – Vasco da Gama reaches India 🚢 1500 – Pedro Álvares Cabral discovers Brazil
During this period, Portugal created a vast maritime empire with colonies in Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania.
- Iberian Union and the restoration (1580–1640)
In 1580, after a dynastic crisis caused by the death of King Sebastian, Portugal came under Spanish rule in what is known as the Iberian Union. For 60 years, the Spanish kings ruled Portugal until, in 1640, a revolt led by John IV restored Portuguese independence.
- The decline of the Empire and the 1755 earthquake
The 18th century was marked by the Lisbon earthquake of 1755, one of the greatest disasters of its time, which destroyed much of the capital. The Marquis of Pombal led the country’s reconstruction and modernization.
The empire began to weaken, culminating in the independence of Brazil in 1822.
- Wars, republic, and dictatorship (19th–20th Centuries)
Portugal faced internal crises and took part in World War I. In 1910, the monarchy fell and the Portuguese Republic was proclaimed.
In the 20th century, the country lived under the Estado Novo dictatorship (1933–1974), led by António de Oliveira Salazar. In 1974, the Carnation Revolution brought democracy, and the following year, the last African colonies gained independence.
- Modern Portugal (21st Century)
In 1986, Portugal joined the European Union, marking a period of growth and modernization. Today, it is a democratic country with a rich culture and a history that continues to inspire the world.
- And what about the islands?
The Autonomous Regions of Madeira and the Azores play a fundamental role in Portuguese identity. Discovered in the 15th century, they have been part of Portugal ever since and have their own regional governments.
Madeira is known for its wine and stunning landscapes, while the Azores are famous for their volcanic nature and unique culture.
Thank you very much for reading this far. I hope everything is well with you, and sending a big hug from your favorite writer from Madeira. Long live freedom!

2025-06-02 15:50:56In Nigeria, two popular swallow dishes have been vying for the top spot in the hearts (and stomachs) of food enthusiasts: Semovita and Pounded Yam. Both dishes have their loyal followers, and the debate about which one is better has been ongoing. Let's dive into the world of Nigerian cuisine and explore the characteristics of these two beloved dishes.
Semovita: The Smooth Operator
Semovita is a popular swallow made from semolina flour, which is derived from durum wheat. It's known for its smooth texture and ability to absorb flavors well. Semovita is often served with a variety of soups, including egusi, okra, and vegetable soup. Its neutral flavor makes it a versatile option for pairing with different soups.
Pounded Yam: The Classic
Pounded yam is a traditional Nigerian dish made from boiled yam that has been pounded into a smooth, stretchy dough. It's a staple in many Nigerian households and is often served with soups like egusi, okra, and efo riro. Pounded yam has a distinct texture and flavor that's hard to resist.
The Verdict
So, which one is better? The answer ultimately comes down to personal preference. If you like a smooth, neutral-tasting swallow that absorbs flavors well, Semovita might be the way to go. If you prefer a more traditional, stretchy swallow with a distinct flavor to fill your tum tum, Pounded Yam is the better option.
Tips for Enjoying Both Dishes
- Experiment with different soups to find your favorite pairing.
- Pay attention to the texture and flavor of the swallow.
- Don't be afraid to try new combinations and flavors.
Conclusion
The debate between Semovita and Pounded Yam may never be settled, but one thing is certain: both dishes are delicious and beloved in Nigerian cuisine. Whether you're a fan of Semovita or Pounded Yam, there's no denying the joy of enjoying a warm, satisfying swallow with a flavorful soup.
Which one do you prefer?

2025-06-02 08:21:08CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE
“Ladies and gentlemen,” James began, his voice firm but serene, “we have reached a stage where the name JP Enterprises must stand not only for affluence and innovation but also for responsibility and reinvention.”
The team leaned in, captivated by his tone.
“I’ve given this much thought,” he continued, “and it’s time we invested not just in profitable ventures but in communities especially those that raised men like me.”
Whispers of approval circled the room. James unfolded a series of blueprints and documents, revealing a new initiative named The Phoenix Foundation, a massive philanthropic wing of JP Enterprises aimed at funding education, rebuilding impoverished neighborhoods, and providing mentorship for underprivileged youth.
“This isn’t charity,” James clarified. “This is legacy.”
Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Mark and Helen were dealing with the crushing weight of public disgrace. Their failed scheme had made headlines. Investors withdrew, associates distanced themselves, and even loyal allies now whispered behind their backs.
Helen slammed a newspaper onto the glass table in frustration. “They’ve blacklisted us from another tender. Mark, we’re becoming irrelevant!”
Mark, who had been pacing the room like a caged animal, finally stopped. “It’s not over. We still have leverage somewhere. James isn’t invincible.”
Helen scoffed. “Tell that to the world. They worship the ground he walks on. You think you can bring down a man who rose from being a street outcast to owning the city’s largest enterprise?”
Mark’s eyes darkened. “He bleeds, Helen. Everyone has a weak spot. We just haven’t found him yet.”
But even as their desperation festered, James was rising even higher. A televised interview had been scheduled where he would unveil The Phoenix Foundation. The nation watched eagerly. Sitting on a minimalist stage, flanked by banners of the foundation’s vision, James spoke from the heart.
“I know what it means to be invisible,” he said. “I know what hunger, shame, and rejection feel like. I’ve lived it. But I also know the power of one opportunity, one person who believes in you. Through this foundation, I want to be that person for thousands.”
The applause was thunderous, not only from the live audience but from homes, offices, and schools where people were inspired by his journey.
The days following the televised launch of The Phoenix Foundation brought waves of admiration and support from across the country. Letters of gratitude flooded JP Enterprises from parents whose children now had access to scholarships, to small business owners revitalized by community grants. James, once shunned and dismissed, was now a symbol of unshakable strength, resilience, and grace under fire.
But in the shadows, the remnants of Mark and Helen’s influence continued to decay.
With the media fixated on James’s rise and the overwhelming success of the foundation, Helen had become a recluse, seldom leaving her estate. The curtains were always drawn, the halls eerily quiet, and every incoming call was a potential threat to her already-battered reputation. Her once-prized social invitations had vanished, and even her closest acquaintances now found convenient excuses to avoid her.
One afternoon, as she sat on her leather chaise, surrounded by unopened letters and wilting orchids, her phone buzzed. It was Mark.
"We need to talk," his voice came through, rough and urgent.
"Unless you’ve figured out a way to reverse time or erase James from existence, I’m not interested," she replied dryly, her voice thick with exhaustion.
"I’ve been digging into his foundation. There might be something," he said, the faintest glimmer of his former arrogance returning.
Helen raised a skeptical brow. "You mean the only project that has made him a national hero overnight? Do enlighten me."
Mark hesitated for a moment, then spoke. "I have a contact. Someone who worked closely with James during his street days. She claims there's more to his story, something about a deal gone wrong before Ray Enterprises even noticed him."
Helen’s eyes narrowed. "You better not be chasing another ghost story, Mark. We’ve lost everything playing that game."
Meanwhile, back at JP Enterprises, James was unaware of the new whispers trailing behind him. His focus remained undivided, channeling his efforts into real progress. He visited schools sponsored by the foundation, shook hands with young entrepreneurs, and held intimate town hall meetings to listen to citizens’ concerns. His sincerity was unmistakable.
One evening, as he stood at the balcony of his high-rise office, looking over the city he once roamed as a stranger, his uncle Charles joined him.
"You’ve come a long way, James," Charles said, resting a firm hand on his shoulder. "Your father may have doubted you once, but now he sees what we always knew: you're more than capable of carrying this legacy."
James nodded slowly. "It’s not about the legacy anymore, Uncle. It’s about changing lives. If we succeed, JP Enterprises won’t just be remembered for profit margins, it'll be remembered for its heart."
And indeed, that heart had begun to beat in places once forgotten.
"Sir, there's something you might want to take a look at," James's personal assistant said as she stepped into his office, holding a manila folder with both hands.
James looked up from his tablet, where he had been reviewing the upcoming development plans for The Phoenix Foundation outreach program in rural districts. "Is it urgent?"
Tracy’s expression was uneasy. "I believe so. It slipped into the front reception without a name. Just labeled ‘To the President, Personal.’ We scanned the documents. They’re… sensitive."
James gestured for her to bring it over. He leaned back in his chair as she placed the folder before him and stepped away. Slowly, he opened it, revealing a series of photographs, transcripts, and one shocking email thread. His eyes narrowed as he scanned the contents. There it was detailed records of recent communications between Mark and a former government contractor, outlining a clandestine attempt to discredit The Phoenix Foundation by faking embezzlement allegations.
"So they haven’t learned their lesson," James muttered to himself, his jaw tightening.
Tracy, standing silently nearby, asked cautiously, "Should I inform legal?"
"Not yet," he replied, standing and pacing toward the window. "Let them think they still have the upper hand. We’ll collect more. I want this to be their final mistake, not just another slap on the wrist."
From the 39th floor, the skyline shimmered in the twilight. But beneath the golden hues of the sunset, darkness moved silently, calculating its next step.
Across town, in an upscale but dimly lit lounge, Mark and Helen sat across from each other, their faces drawn and wary. They were meeting a woman known only as "Seraphina," a discreet broker of information and, when needed, scandal.

2025-06-02 17:06:54Welcome back to the SWC, folks. We’re about to witness the Money in the Bank title eliminator. The wrestler who climbs the ladder and grabs the briefcase filled with money will be next in line to challenge for the Shitcoin World Championship belt.
Special guest referee ‘Risk-Free’ Raúl Mal starts the action between Sergeant Sol Anna and The Ethereal Ghoul. There’s the bell. The Coinbase Arena is a complete sellout tonight. Who will emerge as the next contender?
The ghoul runs at the ropes and flies at his opponent with a clothesline. Sol Anna dips under, then dips again on the return. The ghoul crashes into the referee instead, and he is down. A ripple of laughter from the audience. Looks like Mal took a knee to the nuts.
Great counter by the sergeant, and the ghoul hits the canvas face-first. A quick elbow drop, then another. My god, she goes down hard. The ghoul blocks through muscle memory, and Sol Anna crosses the ring to take a run-up. Bam. Proof of Stake! What a move. Now she turns her focus to setting up the ladder.
The referee is back up and checks on the downed wrestler.
Sol Anna gets one foot on the ladder. She’s climbing up, but back comes the ghoul.
A blow to the face. And another. No effect. The ghoul latches on and drags Sol Anna back to the canvas.
They lock up, and Sol Anna whips the ghoul into the ladder. By gawd, he’s broken in half! Now what’s she doing? She’s out of the ring, looking under the skirting. What’s that? No. Somebody stop her. Weapons aren’t part of this. That metal could do some serious damage — it’s a hard fork!
The referee comes over to put a stop to this. It’s not legal, even in a hardcore ladder match.
She’s got three seconds to get back in the ring, or it’ll be a count-out. The hard fork will have to wait.
Ethereal Ghoul OUTTA NOWHERE with the NFT! And the referee is down again. Mal’s back was turned. Oh, the humanity. What a dirty trick. And again, a boot to the nether regions. That man is writhing in pain on the floor.
Sol Anna slides back into the ring. She sets up a second ladder while the ghoul doles out more punishment to Raúl Mal.
Now he spots the green of the sergeant’s uniform halfway to the briefcase. Ethereal drags her down. A roundhouse kick connects. He gets into position behind Sol Anna. He lifts her up, looking for the Omega Candle, but no, she reverses and gets his neck. Ooh, the ghoul is in serious trouble here. The tether choke is locked in, but the ghoul can’t tap. The guest referee is still sprawled on the canvas, a mess of black and white stripes.
Sol Anna releases and goes for the first ladder. She gets halfway up, and the Ethereal Ghoul gets to his feet. He’s on the other ladder. How does this work? Will they both go for it? That dangling briefcase is so close—
Wait. Is that the Strategy music? It is. Yes, it is! Sexy Sailor comes sprinting down the ramp. The crowd erupts. Listen to that roar. “Sailor. Sailor!”
Can they still make it to the briefcase? One more step for Sol Anna. The ghoul is close, but Sailor scoots into the ring. He’s got the ladder by the bottom rungs.
Oh, the crowd knows what’s coming. Sol Anna shakes her head. Don’t do it.
“Do it. Do it,” the crowd chants.
Sailor grins at the camera. The rugpull! RUGPULL! He rips the ladder away and Sergeant Sol Anna bounces off the turnbuckle and crashes to the canvas. Oh brother, that looked painful.
Now he’s got the ghoul in his sights. Another rugpull. Ethereal Ghoul is down. I think he fell right on top of the referee.
“Michael. Michael,” the crowd sings.
Both contenders look completely out of gas. And then there’s this guy. He’s got a microphone. What’s Sexy Sailor going to tell us?
“I’m going to set up this ladder here and teach these two shitcoiners a lesson.”
Chants of “SWC, SWC,” ring out.
Sailor scales the ladder, mic in hand.
There’s a hush in the arena.
“What do we say when some contender claims to be the next big thing?”
Still quiet.
“We say this. THERE IS NO SECOND BEST.” Sailor drinks in the atmosphere and puts his hand to his ear, motioning for the crowd to continue.
60,000 people in unison chant, “THERE IS NO SECOND BEST CRYPTO ASSET.”
Sailor reaches for the briefcase. He has it. Sexy Sailor wins the Money in the Bank match. Confetti falls and he climbs back down to the canvas. Ethereal Ghoul and Sergeant Sol Anna slink out of the ring, hobbling back up the ramp.
“Wait,” he says. “Let’s see what’s in this briefcase.”
Oh my, he’s tossing banknotes everywhere. Covering the ring. Some have floated in the crowd. It’s like an ATM explosion.
“Hey, ghoul. Sol Anna. You see this paper? It’s even more worthless than you.”
Finally, the guest referee Raúl Mal gets back to his feet. He raises Sexy Sailor’s hand, confirming the winner of the Money in the Bank match CryptoSlam 2025.
Oh no! Not again. Sailor takes aim at Mal’s groin. Blam. Money shot. And again. Mal is down again. Surely he can’t come back from this.
“I’ve still got this mic. It’s over when I say it’s over.”
A few more shouts of “Sailor” ring out.
“This is what I think of your worthless fiat.”
He’s dropping his pants. Not again. Oh no. This is not what SWC audiences want to see.
“All these banknotes are good for… is wiping my gray hairy ass.” He turns to the contenders still fleeing the scene. “Have fun staying poor, shitcoiners,” he screams, and then drops the mic.
What an event. What a match, people!
Keep watching. We’ve got the Royal Rugpull coming right up. Thirty-two of SWC’s top memecoins are battling it out here at CryptoSlam 25. Don’t go ANYWHERE.

2025-06-02 07:46:40CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR
One evening, as the amber light of sunset poured through the massive windows of his penthouse, James sat quietly with a leather-bound journal in hand. It was filled with handwritten notes, sketches of business concepts, and scribbled affirmations from the years he spent in isolation.
Each page was a memory. A scar. A vow.
There, in solitude, his thoughts returned to the past not with bitterness, but with clarity. He remembered the cold nights behind Ray Enterprises, the condescending glares, the endless humiliation. Yet, in those moments of degradation, a fire had been lit within him a fire that now fueled empires.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated. A message from his father.
“Proud of you, son. Your mother and I would love to have dinner this weekend with just the three of us.”
James smiled faintly. The wound of abandonment hadn’t fully healed, but the gesture was a stitch in the fabric of reconciliation.
He replied simply, “I’ll be there.”
Downstairs in the JP lobby, a woman in her sixties entered hesitantly. Her clothes were modest but clean, and her eyes scanned the space with nervous curiosity. The receptionist greeted her with a polite smile.
“Good evening, ma’am. Do you have an appointment?”
“No,” she said softly, her hands wringing the strap of her purse. “I don’t. But… Can you tell Mr. James that Clara is here? He might remember that I used to give him leftover bread from my shop… when he had nowhere to go.”
The receptionist looked surprised but composed. “Please have a seat. Let me reach out to him.”
Moments later, James was informed. His heart caught for a second.
Clara.
He remembered her clearly as one of the few who had shown him kindness when the world turned its back. Without hesitation, he descended to the lobby.
As the elevator doors slid open, their eyes met. Clara gasped, tears already forming. “You’ve grown into such a fine man,” she whispered.
James walked up to her, gently took her hand, and with a voice rich in emotion said, “You fed me when I was invisible to the world. You gave me more than bread you gave me dignity. Thank you.”
He led her into his private lounge, offering tea and a warm meal, listening to her speak of her late husband, her children, and the small bakery she still ran despite her age.
Before she left, James handed her an envelope.
“I’d like to invest in your bakery,” he said. “Not for business just because every child in this city deserves to taste the kindness I received from you.”
Clara’s hands trembled as she opened the envelope, eyes widening at the check inside.
“Sir, there’s someone waiting in the executive lounge… says she knows you,” Rita informed James softly as she stepped into his office.
James, seated behind his grand mahogany desk, looked up with a faint furrow between his brows. “Who is it this time?” he asked, his voice calm but tired. It had been a long day of meetings, legal signings, and strategic calls.
“She gave her name as Olivia. Said she knew you... back when things were hard.”
James’s breath hitched momentarily. That name wasn't one he had heard in years. Slowly, he rose from his chair, buttoning his jacket with deliberate poise. “Send her in,” he said, his voice unreadable.
Moments later, the door opened and in walked Olivia slender, worn by time, but still carrying the same fiery glint in her eyes. She looked around the opulent office, her gaze settling on James.
“You’ve changed,” she said, almost in awe. “But those eyes… still the same.”
James didn’t speak for a moment. He merely gestured for her to sit, though he remained standing. “Why are you here, Olivia?”
She hesitated, then dropped her bag onto the seat and looked at him with measured defiance. “Because I wanted to see for myself. To see if it was true. That the man who once cleaned floors for my father now owns one of the most powerful corporations in the country.”
James chuckled softly, though there was no humor in it. “Funny how life works, isn’t it?”
She looked down, biting her lower lip. “I was young. Naive. Cruel, even. I regret what I said to you… how I treated you.”
“You don’t need to apologize,” James said, walking to the window and staring out at the golden cityscape. “Back then, your scorn was just one of many. It built me. Sharpened me.”
A long silence passed between them, heavy but not hostile.
“Are you happy?” she finally asked, voice softer now.
James turned to her slowly, his gaze steady. “Happiness is fleeting. But peace? I’ve found some. Purpose, too.”
She stood, eyes glossy. “I wanted to say I’m proud of you… and maybe, to ask if there’s a chance to start again. As friends. Nothing more.”
James studied her for a moment before nodding slightly. “Friendship... I can afford that now.”
They exchanged no handshake, no hug, just a mutual understanding. Olivia left quietly, and as the door closed, James sighed.
Outside his office, the world buzzed, phones rang, executives walked briskly past, deals were being sealed. But in that quiet moment, James returned to his desk, pulled out the photo of his younger self tucked into the drawer, and stared at it.
As the days passed, the wind of change blew steadily across the corridors of JP Enterprises. The company’s reputation had not only recovered from the smear campaign instigated by Mark and Helen but had soared beyond expectation. The public, once skeptical, now admired James even more for his composure under pressure and his resilience amidst controversy.
Within the elegantly marbled boardroom of JP Enterprises, James convened a confidential meeting with his top executives and legal team. The atmosphere was laced with anticipation and reverence.

2025-06-02 15:10:30Unfortunately, I’m yet to be approached by either friends or family to enquire about bitcoin, I have very few friends, and my family are generally comfortable in their fiat lives. However, I often feel the need to prepare myself if the situation arises where I’m asked and I don’t do my usual, “ah, it’s just a hat” response and say nothing about bitcoin. As a result, I’m thinking through scenarios when I get asked, maybe even asked for advice and work out how to respond to people I care about, or even people I’m less bothered about, but I really don’t want to be the asshole who says; “have fun staying poor”. As Tuur Demeester mentioned, we need to prepare ourselves mentally for when price goes crazy, so we don’t immediate start acting up with ridiculous Lambo shaped purchases but also not realise the cash to do something that will benefit you and your loved ones. We also need to prepare ourselves for the phonecalls we may receive “wen moon”. I’m not going to suggest that anyone should or should not do anything, but I’m going to try and work some things out, so that when I’m asked, I can respond in a way that is balanced, constructive and will help the person I’m speaking to make progress in their journey.
Firstly, if they say that I’m just luck to have found bitcoin before them, there are many useful quotes that can be used as a response to this, but one of my favourites has to be from Thomas Jefferson:
“I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have”
Short, simple and to the point, while also bringing the idea back from success being related to some magical concept that some people have and some people don’t, that removes the individual’s agency to positively impact their lot in life.
After this, the next suggestion may be related to luck, but at least this can be measured; how early did you first hear about bitcoin? Obviously, there could be some factors that may be outside of one’s immediate control, such as whether your name was on the cypherpunk mailing list in late 2009. Saying this, very few individuals chose to act on the contribution of one of the unknown contributors (Satoshi Nakamoto) who suddenly appeared on the mailing list, so started directing resources towards the network at the start. Even those that did and accumulated large stockpiles in the early days may have not initially known what they had or may have simply lost what they accumulated (poor old James Howells is still trying to dig up a Welsh refuse site). There are also those infamous episodes where individuals were given bitcoin early on and didn’t understand what they had or were simply careless with the necessary information (Alex Jones once received 10k bitcoin from Max Keiser). Even more recently, Dave Portnoy purchased a significant amount of bitcoin, was walked through the whole process by Marty Bent, but later lost his keys, suggesting it is not sufficient to simply be earlier to bitcoin to benefit from it, but something else.
If the person you speak to mentions they are late, there are many opportunities to illustrate how being early may not have given a better outcome and even resulted in a negative outcome, “I lost so many bitcoins, I’m not touching that crap again”. After knowing that you once owned X number of bitcoin, to have then had to start again from zero would be a very difficult barrier to get over. James Howells may have been in a much better situation if he had never mined those early bitcoin, and arrive at the topic years later and began buying like most others, or started buying as soon as he realised what bitcoin was. To provide the counter argument, there is also a story of someone having their bitcoin seedphrase stolen from cloud storage (big respect to RMessitt), but rather than sitting back and complaining, instead began to accumulate once more, only this time with better security hygiene. While they may not have been able to reaccumulate what they had before, they are in a better position than if they had simply given up, attributing it to bad luck, rather than working hard. These examples suggest that it may not only be about being early, but also about something else that has allowed certain early adopters (such as Max Keiser), to both keep and continue accumulating bitcoin since.
This leads to a final type of early adopter, who may not have lost access to their bitcoin, but may be useful to helping explain to your friend or family, why luck nor timing are what they think they’re cracked up to be. If you had a family member or friend that you trusted, and they said they had bought some bitcoin and if you wanted, they would buy some for you, would this be a good, bad or indifferent thing to happen? If you didn’t get worried the first-time price dropped and sold, it might have worked out quite well for you financially if you held it for 4 or more years. However, unless you took this intervening time to investigate what you had bought (you’re likely a busy person if you’d been able to accumulate sufficient cash to throw a bit into bitcoin to make it worth your while), you may not know what you owned. As a result, rather than not selling when the price dipped (fingers crossed your friend would never have actually let you press the sell button), if the price rose considerably, you might sell some, and thought yourself very wise having maybe bought pre-2020, and then having made a humble 20x in late 2024.
From a dollar, pound, euro, yen perspective, this is very much a success, a good trade and positive profit, but from a bitcoin perspective, this is selling the best and buy a worse asset, this is ending up with fewer sats, but most importantly, this is not understanding why bitcoin. During the time you held (ignored or forgotten about), you would have missed the opportunity to explore what you had bought all those years before and why it might be of interest. If you had, you may have thought about exploring how to purchase some more, how to self-custody your bitcoin and any other bitcoin related skill you could develop, getting you to a point where when price rose, the idea of “cashing out” was not your immediate thought. In this final example, if you had chosen to sell all your bitcoin when the price rose, while you may have “made out like a bandit”, but you would also return yourself to your prior no-coiner state, ultimately only temporarily better off, until that fiat tended to zero. The questions can then be raised, what was missing from this lucky, early individual’s journey?
This will hopefully give your inquisitive yet naïve no-coiner friend a chance to take a step back, reflect on their earlier comments, and feel the warmth in their cheeks as they realise they are blushing slightly that they called you lucky (well, here’s hoping). If nothing else, these examples will help illustrate that neither luck nor timing is all it takes to benefit from bitcoin. The final example then illustrates that it isn’t only about owning bitcoin from when it is cheaper (in their mind, bitcoin is always undervalued) until the price reaches a higher level, there is something else that is important. For me, this something is being inquisitive to learn about what you own, to develop understanding and build sufficient conviction to be able to response calmly when someone you care about refers to bitcoin as a scam, a ponzi scheme or the currency of choice of child traffickers (that would be the US dollar). Conviction is also important for those moments when the fiat price may have fallen, as it did throughout 2022, so that rather than sell, you’ve continued to purchase more, in an attempt to offset the purchases you may be regretting that you made at the prior peak. If you have the conviction, you can also be comfortable that you will neither time the bottom, nor deploy all the dry powder at this time, but you’re still comfortable that you’re moving the product of your time and effort into an asset that you control, that over time will store value better than fiat currency. From listening to very close to 40 hours of podcasts a week (shout out to bitcoin Bugle) for the past 5 years (yep, that’s over 10k hours), much to the family’s annoyance, irrespective of the dollar value, it is better to hold bitcoin than anything else.
As a result, it is absolutely, definitely not about being lucky, don’t attribute to luck what I worked damn hard to accumulate! It is also not about being early. While the example above may have a much lower entry price than I ever had and my first purchase in April 2020 was only for £50, neither is important to where I am now. My average cost basis is now multiple times higher than this first purchase, but that is not the point, and this is what I’ll tell my friend or family if they ever ask the question. Yes, buy a little now, I’ll help you and hopefully you won’t lose it, but more importantly, try and answer the question of why someone would listen to 10k hours of podcasts about bitcoin? While trying to get an answer to this question, they may begin to realise for themselves that it is worthwhile working harder to learn about this asset and starting the save the value of your time and effort in it. If they are willing the build their own conviction about bitcoin, they will be able to realise that starting today is the earliest they’ll ever be able to start and if they do, maybe someone in the future will tell them they are early or lucky, and this whole process can begin again. The circle of being the “lucky” bitcoiner.
“There is no early or late, lucky or unlucky, there is only knowledge and those too proud to learn”

2025-06-02 02:59:55ย้อนกลับไปเมื่อปี 2015 ในเมืองเบิร์กลีย์ รัฐแคลิฟอร์เนีย มีนักชีววิทยาเชิงวิศวกรรมชื่อ Dr. Uma Valeti ผู้เป็นทั้งนักวิจัยโรคหัวใจและอดีตศัลยแพทย์หัวใจ เกิดแนวคิดที่ไม่ธรรมดาว่า "เขาจะสร้างเนื้อในห้องแล็บ เหมือนที่เราสร้างหัวใจเทียมในโรงพยาบาล" นั่นคือการสร้างเนื้อโดยไม่ต้องฆ่าสัตว์เลยแม้แต่ตัวเดียว เขาไม่ได้เพ้อฝันแบบลอยๆ เพราะเขาเองเป็นคนอินเดียที่เติบโตมาในครอบครัวมังสวิรัติ แต่กลับทำงานในวงการแพทย์ที่เกี่ยวข้องกับการปลูกถ่ายอวัยวะอยู่หลายปี และวันหนึ่ง เขาเห็นความเชื่อมโยงบางอย่างระหว่างเซลล์กล้ามเนื้อของหัวใจกับกล้ามเนื้อของเนื้อสัตว์
Valeti มองเห็นปัญหาจากอุตสาหกรรมปศุสัตว์ในแง่มลพิษ การใช้ทรัพยากร และความโหดร้ายของระบบผลิตอาหารในโลกยุคใหม่ แนวคิดนี้กลายเป็นจริงเมื่อเขาร่วมก่อตั้งบริษัท Memphis Meats ขึ้นในปีนั้น พร้อมกับเพื่อนร่วมอุดมการณ์อีกสองคน ได้แก่ Nicholas Genovese นักวิจัยด้านสเต็มเซลล์ และ Will Clem นักวิทยาศาสตร์ผู้เชี่ยวชาญด้านวิศวกรรมชีวภาพผู้เคยมีประสบการณ์จากการเปิดร้านบาร์บีคิวของตัวเอง ความฝันของพวกเขาคือการสร้าง "เนื้อแท้" ที่ไม่ต้องใช้ฟาร์ม ไม่ต้องฆ่าสัตว์ และไม่ต้องพึ่งทรัพยากรธรรมชาติอย่างมหาศาลแบบระบบปศุสัตว์ทั่วไป โดยนำเซลล์กล้ามเนื้อจากสัตว์มาเพาะเลี้ยงในห้องปฏิบัติการ แล้วกระตุ้นให้เติบโตด้วยสารอาหาร สารกระตุ้นการเจริญเติบโต และโครงสร้างที่เลียนแบบเนื้อเยื่อจริง ผลลัพธ์ที่ได้คือเนื้อไก่ เนื้อวัว และเนื้อหมู ที่หน้าตา กลิ่น และรสชาติเหมือนเนื้อที่ผู้คนคุ้นเคย แต่อยู่ในจานโดยไม่ต้องผ่านชีวิตสัตว์แม้แต่ชีวิตเดียว
เทคโนโลยีที่ Memphis Meats ใช้คือการเก็บเซลล์ต้นกำเนิดกล้ามเนื้อ (muscle stem cells) จากสัตว์ แล้วนำมาบ่มเพาะในห้องแล็บในสภาพแวดล้อมที่เหมาะสม ด้วยอาหารเหลวที่มีสารอาหารครบถ้วน เซลล์เหล่านั้นจะเจริญเติบโต แบ่งตัว และก่อตัวเป็นกล้ามเนื้อที่เหมือนกับเนื้อจริงทุกประการ การทดลองแรกประสบผลสำเร็จในปี 2016 เมื่อพวกเขาสร้างลูกชิ้นเนื้อวัวเพาะเลี้ยงได้เป็นครั้งแรกของโลก แม้ราคาจะสูงถึง 18,000 ดอลลาร์ต่อปอนด์ก็ตาม แต่สิ่งนี้คือการประกาศว่า "ของจริง" มาแล้ว
ความสำเร็จนี้ดึงดูดทั้งสายตาของโลก และเงินทุนจากบริษัทยักษ์ใหญ่ หนึ่งในผู้ลงทุนรายแรกคือ Tyson Foods บริษัทเนื้อสัตว์รายใหญ่ของอเมริกา ตามมาด้วย Bill Gates, Richard Branson และ Cargill ซึ่งต่างเห็นตรงกันว่านี่คือทิศทางใหม่ของอุตสาหกรรมอาหารโลก แต่การที่บริษัทเนื้อสัตว์ใหญ่ๆ เข้ามาร่วมลงทุน กลับสร้างคำถามถึงความจริงใจหรือการวางหมากล่วงหน้าเพื่อควบคุมอนาคตของอาหารในรูปแบบใหม่
เม็ดเงินจากภาคเอกชนไหลเข้ามาไม่ขาดสาย รวมถึงการสนับสนุนเชิงนโยบายจากหน่วยงานรัฐบาลสหรัฐฯ ที่เริ่มวางกรอบกำกับดูแลอาหารเพาะเลี้ยงอย่างจริงจัง ทว่าเบื้องหลังภาพฝันของเนื้ออนาคตนั้นก็มีมุมที่ต้องจับตามอง เพราะแม้จะใช้คำว่า “ปลอดภัย” และ “ยั่งยืน” เป็นหัวใจหลักในการสื่อสาร แต่องค์ประกอบหลายประการในกระบวนการผลิต เช่น เซรั่มจากเลือดวัว (FBS) ที่ยังใช้ในบางเฟสของการทดลอง หรือการเพาะเลี้ยงในสารอาหารสังเคราะห์ที่ต้องอาศัยเทคโนโลยีขั้นสูง ล้วนเป็นเรื่องที่ห่างไกลจากคำว่า "ธรรมชาติ" ไปมากโข
เมื่อเข้าสู่ปี 2021 บริษัท Memphis Meats ได้เปลี่ยนชื่อใหม่เป็น Upside Foods พร้อมกับการขยับสถานะจากสตาร์ตอัปมาเป็นผู้นำในตลาดเนื้อเพาะเลี้ยงอย่างเต็มตัว พร้อมกับเปลี่ยนโลโก้และทิศทางแบรนด์จากภาพลักษณ์นักวิทยาศาสตร์มาสู่แบรนด์ที่เข้าถึงผู้บริโภคมากขึ้น เน้นความยั่งยืน ความเป็นมิตรกับสัตว์ และวิธีการผลิตที่ "ชนะใจ" คนรุ่นใหม่ การเปลี่ยนชื่อครั้งนี้ไม่ใช่เพียงกลยุทธ์ด้านแบรนดิ้ง แต่สะท้อนถึงความทะเยอทะยานที่ต้องการให้ผู้บริโภคมองอาหารในมุมใหม่ ไม่ใช่สิ่งที่มาจากฟาร์ม แต่เป็นสิ่งที่มาจากการออกแบบ วิศวกรรม และนวัตกรรม
บริษัทเปิดโรงงานเชิงพาณิชย์แห่งแรกในปี 2022 ที่เมือง Emeryville แคลิฟอร์เนีย ชื่อว่า EPIC (Engineering, Production and Innovation Center) ซึ่งสามารถผลิตเนื้อไก่เพาะเลี้ยงในปริมาณมากได้จริง เพื่อรองรับการผลิตเชิงพาณิชย์ในอนาคต พร้อมกับสร้างความร่วมมือกับภาครัฐเพื่อเร่งให้ผลิตภัณฑ์ผ่านมาตรฐานความปลอดภัยของ FDA และ USDA
สิ่งที่น่าสนใจยิ่งกว่านั้นคือ ความร่วมมือระหว่าง Upside Foods กับหน่วยงานรัฐ เช่น FDA และ USDA เพื่อผลักดันให้ผลิตภัณฑ์เนื้อเพาะเลี้ยงได้รับอนุญาตวางขายในตลาดอเมริกา ซึ่งกลายเป็นจริงในกลางปี 2023 เมื่อ Upside Foods และ Good Meat ได้รับไฟเขียวอย่างเป็นทางการจาก FDA ให้สามารถวางจำหน่ายเนื้อไก่เพาะเลี้ยงแก่ผู้บริโภคได้
ความสัมพันธ์ระหว่าง Upside Foods กับรัฐบาลนั้นน่าสนใจไม่น้อย เพราะนี่คือครั้งแรกในประวัติศาสตร์ที่หน่วยงานรัฐของสหรัฐฯ อย่าง FDA อนุมัติการบริโภคเนื้อสัตว์เพาะเลี้ยงจากห้องแล็บเมื่อเดือนพฤศจิกายน 2022 โดยระบุว่า “ไม่มีข้อกังวลทางความปลอดภัย” แม้จะยังไม่มีข้อมูลเปิดเผยครบทุกขั้นตอนของกระบวนการผลิตอย่างโปร่งใสก็ตาม การอนุมัติครั้งนี้จึงเป็นได้ทั้งจุดเริ่มต้นของการปฏิวัติอาหาร หรือจุดเริ่มต้นของการสร้างอำนาจผูกขาดของบริษัทที่ครอบครองสิทธิบัตรเทคโนโลยีเพาะเลี้ยงเนื้อ เพราะในอนาคตอันใกล้ ถ้าอาหารทุกอย่างต้องผ่านระบบแล็บ ผ่านเทคโนโลยีเฉพาะ และผ่านลิขสิทธิ์เฉพาะ ประชาชนก็จะไม่มีวันเป็นเจ้าของอาหารได้อีกต่อไป
แต่มากกว่าความสำเร็จด้านเทคโนโลยีคือคำถามที่ลึกซึ้งยิ่งกว่า ว่าการผลิตอาหารในห้องแล็บเช่นนี้ ทำให้เกษตรกรรายย่อยหมดสิทธิ์ในการผลิตเนื้อหรือไม่? เพราะเทคโนโลยีระดับสูงนี้ต้องใช้เครื่องมือ ห้องปฏิบัติการ และต้นทุนที่เกษตรกรธรรมดาไม่สามารถเข้าถึงได้ และสุดท้ายแล้ว ผู้บริโภคต้องซื้อเนื้อจากบริษัทยักษ์ใหญ่เท่านั้น โลกใหม่ของอาหารกำลังผลักมนุษย์ให้เป็นเพียงผู้ซื้อ ไม่ใช่ผู้ผลิตอีกต่อไป
แน่นอนว่า Upside Foods อาจไม่ได้ตั้งใจผูกขาดตั้งแต่แรก แต่เมื่อเงินทุน เบื้องหลัง และการอนุญาตจากรัฐ เริ่มขับเคลื่อนไปในทิศทางเดียวกัน มันก็ไม่ต่างอะไรจากการร่างระบบเศรษฐกิจอาหารขึ้นใหม่ โดยมีศูนย์กลางอยู่ที่ห้องแล็บ ไม่ใช่ทุ่งหญ้า การเปลี่ยนแปลงนี้จึงไม่ใช่แค่เรื่องของนวัตกรรมเทคโนโลยี แต่คือการเปลี่ยนแปลงโครงสร้างความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างมนุษย์กับอาหารอย่างสิ้นเชิง และนั่นคือสิ่งที่เฮียอยากให้เพื่อนๆได้คิดก่อนกลืนคำแรกลงไป
สิ่งที่น่าคิดนั้นก็คือ ในโลกที่อาหารกลายเป็นสินทรัพย์ปัญญาแทนที่จะเป็นสิทธิพื้นฐาน การจะปลูก เลี้ยง หรือแลกเปลี่ยนอาหารอาจกลายเป็นเรื่องผิดกฎหมาย และเกษตรกรอาจเหลือบทบาทเพียงคนเฝ้าเครื่องจักรให้กับบริษัทข้ามชาติที่ถือสิทธิบัตรเนื้อ ความฝันที่สวยงามของเนื้อที่ปลอดการฆ่า จึงควรถูกตรวจสอบด้วยสายตาที่เปิดกว้างแต่ไม่ไร้เดียงสา เพราะอนาคตของอาหารนั้น ไม่ใช่แค่เรื่องบนโต๊ะอาหาร แต่เป็นเรื่องของอำนาจ ความเป็นเจ้าของ และสิทธิของประชาชนในฐานะมนุษย์ผู้มีชีวิตบนโลกใบนี้ #pirateketo #กูต้องรู้มั๊ย #ม้วนหางสิลูก #siamstr
