To be blunt, people want “authority” to exist because they themselves are immature cowards. They want an all-powerful entity to impose their will upon others. This takes different forms in different varieties of political advocacy, but the basic motivation is always the same. The “liberal” for example, resents reality. He does not want a world in which suffering and injustice are possible. But instead of doing what He can as a human being, he wants a “Government” to do it for him. He wants some magical entity to make sure that everyone, himself included, is fed, housed, and taken care of, no matter how lazy or irresponsible they are. Instead of trusting human beings to take care of each other, he wants a super human ”authority” to guarantee housing, food, health care, and all sorts of other things, for everyone. He wants it so badly that he refuses to accept the obvious truth that no such guarantee is ever possible, and that if mere mortals do not take care of themselves and each other, nothing else will take care of them.

ไม่มีใครเคี้ยวเซลล์ได้หรอก 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

I 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?

The 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.

The Last Ledger

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.

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.

I'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.

วิธีที่เหมืองบิตคอยน์สามารถเพิ่มรายได้ได้ 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

The 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.

Your 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.

The 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?

In 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.

🟢 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

🟣 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.

Blockchain 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.

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:

"O que define que estamos falando do campo da política é falar de tribalismo. Aliado e inimigo. Quando a galera reclama que estamos falando de poítica igual falamos de futebol, a crítica é equivocada. Política é igual futebol."

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.

The 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?

How 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

The 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.

• 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!

The 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?

@ e2c72a5a:bfacb2ee

The 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?

In 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.

Temperature 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.

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:

"O que define que estamos falando do campo da política é falar de tribalismo. Aliado e inimigo. Quando a galera reclama que estamos falando de poítica igual falamos de futebol, a crítica é equivocada. Política é igual futebol."

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.

The 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.

Mac users who use Ledger hardware wallets to manage their digital assets are being warned about a new scam that uses fake apps to steal funds.

Cybercriminals have launched multiple phishing campaigns using malware that targets macOS systems, replacing the real Ledger Live app with a fake version that asks users to enter their recovery phrase.

These fake apps look almost identical to the real Ledger Live, but instead of helping users manage their bitcoin, they steal the 24-word recovery phrase—the master key to the user’s digital assets.

According to a detailed analysis by Moonlock, the attacks start when users’ computers get infected with Atomic macOS Stealer malware from one of over 2,800 hacked websites. Once installed, the malware removes the legitimate Ledger Live app and installs a malicious version in its place.

The fake app then shows a pop-up message saying it has detected “suspicious activity”, and asks the user to enter their recovery phrase to fix the issue. Once entered, the seed phrase is sent to a server controlled by the attacker.

2,800 websites discovered infected with Atomic Stealer — Moonlock

“Once entered, the seed phrase is sent to an attacker-controlled server, exposing the user’s assets in seconds,” Moonlock said in their May 22 report.

With the recovery phrase, the scammers can drain the user’s wallet of all digital assets—bitcoin and other tokens.

This isn’t an isolated incident. Moonlock has been tracking this malware since August 2024 and has found at least four active campaigns targeting Mac users. They believe the attackers are getting more sophisticated and are refining their methods.

“This isn’t just a theft. It’s a high-stakes effort to outsmart one of the most trusted tools in the crypto world. And the thieves are not backing down,” Moonlock researchers said.

Initially, the fake Ledger Live apps could only steal passwords and view wallet details. This gave attackers some insight into victims’ assets but no way to steal funds directly.

However, over time, hackers have improved their tactics and are now harvesting recovery phrases, so they can take full control of wallets and move funds freely.

One strain of malware, called Odyssey, was spotted in March and was linked to a hacker using the alias “Rodrigo”.

Odyssey replaces Ledger Live with a trojanized app and displays a phishing page asking users to enter their recovery phrases after showing a fake “critical error” message. Another copycat campaign using AMOS (Atomic macOS Stealer) followed soon after.

The fake Ledger Live app asks for user’s seed phrase — Moonlock

In one case, a fake app even displayed an “App corrupted” error after stealing the seed phrase to lower the victim’s suspicion and buy time to transfer the funds.

For years, computers running MacOS were considered safer than their Windows counterparts, because the operating system is less prone to malware. This advanced malware shows that users can never be too careful.

Attackers aren’t just relying on infected apps to steal from users. Other scam tactics include:

• Discord attacks: In May, a moderator account in Ledger’s official Discord server was compromised. Attackers used it to post fake verification links.
• Reddit phishing: In January, a user reported losing $15,000 after unknowingly entering their recovery phrase into a fake app.
• Physical mail scams: In April, some Ledger users received letters claiming to be from the company. These letters included QR codes leading to phishing sites that asked for seed phrases under the guise of a “critical security update”.

Attackers are increasingly targeting users holding hardware wallets, because they might be holding larger amounts.

Earlier this month, a Trezor One user reported being contacted by Coinbase impersonators, who tricked him into entering his seed phrase into a fake website, resulting in loss of 17.5 BTC.

The final goal for all these attacks is similar: the attackers are looking for users’ seed phrases, and they are getting creative in finding new ways to acquire them.

One sure way of staying safe is to learn more. The golden standard rule is to NEVER enter your seed phrase into a computer or a website, no matter how urgent or convincing it looks.

If you are a hardware wallet user, make sure you purchase the wallet from official sources. And the ONLY electronic place you can enter your seed phrases is on the hardware wallet itself.

If a process requires you to enter your seed phrase anywhere on a computer itself, it is definitely a scam.

The 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?

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

"Permission to fight (against disbelievers) is given to those (believers) who are fought against, because they have been wronged and surely, Allah is Able to give them (believers) victory" [Quran 22:39]

"Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghut (anything worshipped other than Allah e.g. Satan). So fight you against the friends of Satan; ever feeble is indeed the plot of Satan."[Quran 4:76]

Some American writers have published articles under the title 'On what basis are we fighting?' These articles have generated a number of responses, some of which adhered to the truth and were based on Islamic Law, and others which have not. Here we wanted to outline the truth - as an explanation and warning - hoping for Allah's reward, seeking success and support from Him.

While seeking Allah's help, we form our reply based on two questions directed at the Americans:

(Q1) Why are we fighting and opposing you?\ (Q2) What are we calling you to, and what do we want from you?

As for the first question: Why are we fighting and opposing you? The answer is very simple:

(1) Because you attacked us and continue to attack us.

a) You attacked us in Palestine:

(i) Palestine, which has sunk under military occupation for more than 80 years. The British handed over Palestine, with your help and your support, to the Jews, who have occupied it for more than 50 years; years overflowing with oppression, tyranny, crimes, killing, expulsion, destruction and devastation. The creation and continuation of Israel is one of the greatest crimes, and you are the leaders of its criminals. And of course there is no need to explain and prove the degree of American support for Israel. The creation of Israel is a crime which must be erased. Each and every person whose hands have become polluted in the contribution towards this crime must pay its*price, and pay for it heavily.

(ii) It brings us both laughter and tears to see that you have not yet tired of repeating your fabricated lies that the Jews have a historical right to Palestine, as it was promised to them in the Torah. Anyone who disputes with them on this alleged fact is accused of anti-semitism. This is one of the most fallacious, widely-circulated fabrications in history. The people of Palestine are pure Arabs and original Semites. It is the Muslims who are the inheritors of Moses (peace be upon him) and the inheritors of the real Torah that has not been changed. Muslims believe in all of the Prophets, including Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all. If the followers of Moses have been promised a right to Palestine in the Torah, then the Muslims are the most worthy nation of this.

When the Muslims conquered Palestine and drove out the Romans, Palestine and Jerusalem returned to Islaam, the religion of all the Prophets peace be upon them. Therefore, the call to a historical right to Palestine cannot be raised against the Islamic Ummah that believes in all the Prophets of Allah (peace and blessings be upon them) - and we make no distinction between them.

(iii) The blood pouring out of Palestine must be equally revenged. You must know that the Palestinians do not cry alone; their women are not widowed alone; their sons are not orphaned alone.

(b) You attacked us in Somalia; you supported the Russian atrocities against us in Chechnya, the Indian oppression against us in Kashmir, and the Jewish aggression against us in Lebanon.

(c) Under your supervision, consent and orders, the governments of our countries which act as your agents, attack us on a daily basis;

(i) These governments prevent our people from establishing the Islamic Shariah, using violence and lies to do so.

(ii) These governments give us a taste of humiliation, and places us in a large prison of fear and subdual.

(iii) These governments steal our Ummah's wealth and sell them to you at a paltry price.

(iv) These governments have surrendered to the Jews, and handed them most of Palestine, acknowledging the existence of their state over the dismembered limbs of their own people.

(v) The removal of these governments is an obligation upon us, and a necessary step to free the Ummah, to make the Shariah the supreme law and to regain Palestine. And our fight against these governments is not separate from out fight against you.

(d) You steal our wealth and oil at paltry prices because of you international influence and military threats. This theft is indeed the biggest theft ever witnessed by mankind in the history of the world.

(e) Your forces occupy our countries; you spread your military bases throughout them; you corrupt our lands, and you besiege our sanctities, to protect the security of the Jews and to ensure the continuity of your pillage of our treasures.

(f) You have starved the Muslims of Iraq, where children die every day. It is a wonder that more than 1.5 million Iraqi children have died as a result of your sanctions, and you did not show concern. Yet when 3000 of your people died, the entire world rises and has not yet sat down.

(g) You have supported the Jews in their idea that Jerusalem is their eternal capital, and agreed to move your embassy there. With your help and under your protection, the Israelis are planning to destroy the Al-Aqsa mosque. Under the protection of your weapons, Sharon entered the Al-Aqsa mosque, to pollute it as a preparation to capture and destroy it.

(2) These tragedies and calamities are only a few examples of your oppression and aggression against us. It is commanded by our religion and intellect that the oppressed have a right to return the aggression. Do not await anything from us but Jihad, resistance and revenge. Is it in any way rational to expect that after America has attacked us for more than half a century, that we will then leave her to live in security and peace?!!

(3) You may then dispute that all the above does not justify aggression against civilians, for crimes they did not commit and offenses in which they did not partake:

(a) This argument contradicts your continuous repetition that America is the land of freedom, and its leaders in this world. Therefore, the American people are the ones who choose their government by way of their own free will; a choice which stems from their agreement to its policies. Thus the American people have chosen, consented to, and affirmed their support for the Israeli oppression of the Palestinians, the occupation and usurpation of their land, and its continuous killing, torture, punishment and expulsion of the Palestinians. The American people have the ability and choice to refuse the policies of their Government and even to change it if they want.

(b) The American people are the ones who pay the taxes which fund the planes that bomb us in Afghanistan, the tanks that strike and destroy our homes in Palestine, the armies which occupy our lands in the Arabian Gulf, and the fleets which ensure the blockade of Iraq. These tax dollars are given to Israel for it to continue to attack us and penetrate our lands. So the American people are the ones who fund the attacks against us, and they are the ones who oversee the expenditure of these monies in the way they wish, through their elected candidates.

(c) Also the American army is part of the American people. It is this very same people who are shamelessly helping the Jews fight against us.

(d) The American people are the ones who employ both their men and their women in the American Forces which attack us.

(e) This is why the American people cannot be not innocent of all the crimes committed by the Americans and Jews against us.

(f) Allah, the Almighty, legislated the permission and the option to take revenge. Thus, if we are attacked, then we have the right to attack back. Whoever has destroyed our villages and towns, then we have the right to destroy their villages and towns. Whoever has stolen our wealth, then we have the right to destroy their economy. And whoever has killed our civilians, then we have the right to kill theirs.

The American Government and press still refuses to answer the question:

Why did they attack us in New York and Washington?

If Sharon is a man of peace in the eyes of Bush, then we are also men of peace!!! America does not understand the language of manners and principles, so we are addressing it using the language it understands.

(Q2) As for the second question that we want to answer: What are we calling you to, and what do we want from you?

(1) The first thing that we are calling you to is Islam.

(a) The religion of the Unification of God; of freedom from associating partners with Him, and rejection of this; of complete love of Him, the Exalted; of complete submission to His Laws; and of the discarding of all the opinions, orders, theories and religions which contradict with the religion He sent down to His Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Islam is the religion of all the prophets, and makes no distinction between them - peace be upon them all.

It is to this religion that we call you; the seal of all the previous religions. It is the religion of Unification of God, sincerity, the best of manners, righteousness, mercy, honour, purity, and piety. It is the religion of showing kindness to others, establishing justice between them, granting them their rights, and defending the oppressed and the persecuted. It is the religion of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil with the hand, tongue and heart. It is the religion of Jihad in the way of Allah so that Allah's Word and religion reign Supreme. And it is the religion of unity and agreement on the obedience to Allah, and total equality between all people, without regarding their colour, sex, or language.

(b) It is the religion whose book - the Quran - will remained preserved and unchanged, after the other Divine books and messages have been changed. The Quran is the miracle until the Day of Judgment. Allah has challenged anyone to bring a book like the Quran or even ten verses like it.

(2) The second thing we call you to, is to stop your oppression, lies, immorality and debauchery that has spread among you.

(a) We call you to be a people of manners, principles, honour, and purity; to reject the immoral acts of fornication, homosexuality, intoxicants, gambling's, and trading with interest.

We call you to all of this that you may be freed from that which you have become caught up in; that you may be freed from the deceptive lies that you are a great nation, that your leaders spread amongst you to conceal from you the despicable state to which you have reached.

(b) It is saddening to tell you that you are the worst civilization witnessed by the history of mankind:

(i) You are the nation who, rather than ruling by the Shariah of Allah in its Constitution and Laws, choose to invent your own laws as you will and desire. You separate religion from your policies, contradicting the pure nature which affirms Absolute Authority to the Lord and your Creator. You flee from the embarrassing question posed to you: How is it possible for Allah the Almighty to create His creation, grant them power over all the creatures and land, grant them all the amenities of life, and then deny them that which they are most in need of: knowledge of the laws which govern their lives?

(ii) You are the nation that permits Usury, which has been forbidden by all the religions. Yet you build your economy and investments on Usury. As a result of this, in all its different forms and guises, the Jews have taken control of your economy, through which they have then taken control of your media, and now control all aspects of your life making you their servants and achieving their aims at your expense; precisely what Benjamin Franklin warned you against.

(iii) You are a nation that permits the production, trading and usage of intoxicants. You also permit drugs, and only forbid the trade of them, even though your nation is the largest consumer of them.

(iv) You are a nation that permits acts of immorality, and you consider them to be pillars of personal freedom. You have continued to sink down this abyss from level to level until incest has spread amongst you, in the face of which neither your sense of honour nor your laws object.

Who can forget your President Clinton's immoral acts committed in the official Oval office? After that you did not even bring him to account, other than that he 'made a mistake', after which everything passed with no punishment. Is there a worse kind of event for which your name will go down in history and remembered by nations?

(v) You are a nation that permits gambling in its all forms. The companies practice this as well, resulting in the investments becoming active and the criminals becoming rich.

(vi) You are a nation that exploits women like consumer products or advertising tools calling upon customers to purchase them. You use women to serve passengers, visitors, and strangers to increase your profit margins. You then rant that you support the liberation of women.

(vii) You are a nation that practices the trade of sex in all its forms, directly and indirectly. Giant corporations and establishments are established on this, under the name of art, entertainment, tourism and freedom, and other deceptive names you attribute to it.

(viii) And because of all this, you have been described in history as a nation that spreads diseases that were unknown to man in the past. Go ahead and boast to the nations of man, that you brought them AIDS as a Satanic American Invention.

(xi) You have destroyed nature with your industrial waste and gases more than any other nation in history. Despite this, you refuse to sign the Kyoto agreement so that you can secure the profit of your greedy companies and*industries.

(x) Your law is the law of the rich and wealthy people, who hold sway in their political parties, and fund their election campaigns with their gifts. Behind them stand the Jews, who control your policies, media and economy.

(xi) That which you are singled out for in the history of mankind, is that you have used your force to destroy mankind more than any other nation in history; not to defend principles and values, but to hasten to secure your interests and profits. You who dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan, even though Japan was ready to negotiate an end to the war. How many acts of oppression, tyranny and injustice have you carried out, O callers to freedom?

(xii) Let us not forget one of your major characteristics: your duality in both manners and values; your hypocrisy in manners and principles. All*manners, principles and values have two scales: one for you and one for the others.

(a)The freedom and democracy that you call to is for yourselves and for white race only; as for the rest of the world, you impose upon them your monstrous, destructive policies and Governments, which you call the 'American friends'. Yet you prevent them from establishing democracies. When the Islamic party in Algeria wanted to practice democracy and they won the election, you unleashed your agents in the Algerian army onto them, and to attack them with tanks and guns, to imprison them and torture them - a new lesson from the 'American book of democracy'!!!

(b)Your policy on prohibiting and forcibly removing weapons of mass destruction to ensure world peace: it only applies to those countries which you do not permit to possess such weapons. As for the countries you consent to, such as Israel, then they are allowed to keep and use such weapons to defend their security. Anyone else who you suspect might be manufacturing or keeping these kinds of weapons, you call them criminals and you take military action against them.

(c)You are the last ones to respect the resolutions and policies of International Law, yet you claim to want to selectively punish anyone else who does the same. Israel has for more than 50 years been pushing UN resolutions and rules against the wall with the full support of America.

(d)As for the war criminals which you censure and form criminal courts for - you shamelessly ask that your own are granted immunity!! However, history will not forget the war crimes that you committed against the Muslims and the rest of the world; those you have killed in Japan, Afghanistan, Somalia, Lebanon and Iraq will remain a shame that you will never be able to escape. It will suffice to remind you of your latest war crimes in Afghanistan, in which densely populated innocent civilian villages were destroyed, bombs were dropped on mosques causing the roof of the mosque to come crashing down on the heads of the Muslims praying inside. You are the ones who broke the agreement with the Mujahideen when they left Qunduz, bombing them in Jangi fort, and killing more than 1,000 of your prisoners through suffocation and thirst. Allah alone knows how many people have died by torture at the hands of you and your agents. Your planes remain in the Afghan skies, looking for anyone remotely suspicious.

(e)You have claimed to be the vanguards of Human Rights, and your Ministry of Foreign affairs issues annual reports containing statistics of those countries that violate any Human Rights. However, all these things vanished when the Mujahideen hit you, and you then implemented the methods of the same documented governments that you used to curse. In America, you captured thousands the Muslims and Arabs, took them into custody with neither reason, court trial, nor even disclosing their names. You issued newer, harsher laws.

What happens in Guatanamo is a historical embarrassment to America and its values, and it screams into your faces - you hypocrites, "What is the value of your signature on any agreement or treaty?"

(3) What we call you to thirdly is to take an honest stance with yourselves - and I doubt you will do so - to discover that you are a nation without principles or manners, and that the values and principles to you are something which you merely demand from others, not that which you yourself must adhere to.

(4) We also advise you to stop supporting Israel, and to end your support of the Indians in Kashmir, the Russians against the Chechens and to also cease supporting the Manila Government against the Muslims in Southern Philippines.

(5) We also advise you to pack your luggage and get out of our lands. We desire for your goodness, guidance, and righteousness, so do not force us to send you back as cargo in coffins.

(6) Sixthly, we call upon you to end your support of the corrupt leaders in our countries. Do not interfere in our politics and method of education. Leave us alone, or else expect us in New York and Washington.

(7) We also call you to deal with us and interact with us on the basis of mutual interests and benefits, rather than the policies of sub dual, theft and occupation, and not to continue your policy of supporting the Jews because this will result in more disasters for you.

If you fail to respond to all these conditions, then prepare for fight with the Islamic Nation. The Nation of Monotheism, that puts complete trust on Allah and fears none other than Him. The Nation which is addressed by its Quran with the words: "Do you fear them? Allah has more right that you should fear Him if you are believers. Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of believing people. And remove the anger of their (believers') hearts. Allah accepts the repentance of whom He wills. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise." [Quran9:13-1]

The Nation of honour and respect:

"But honour, power and glory belong to Allah, and to His Messenger (Muhammad- peace be upon him) and to the believers." [Quran 63:8]

"So do not become weak (against your enemy), nor be sad, and you will be*superior ( in victory )if you are indeed (true) believers" [Quran 3:139]

The Nation of Martyrdom; the Nation that desires death more than you desire life:

"Think not of those who are killed in the way of Allah as dead. Nay, they are alive with their Lord, and they are being provided for. They rejoice in what Allah has bestowed upon them from His bounty and rejoice for the sake of those who have not yet joined them, but are left behind (not yet martyred) that on them no fear shall come, nor shall they grieve. They rejoice in a grace and a bounty from Allah, and that Allah will not waste the reward of the believers." [Quran 3:169-171]

The Nation of victory and success that Allah has promised:

"It is He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad peace be upon him) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam), to make it victorious over all other religions even though the Polytheists hate it." [Quran 61:9]

"Allah has decreed that 'Verily it is I and My Messengers who shall be victorious.' Verily Allah is All-Powerful, All-Mighty." [Quran 58:21]

The Islamic Nation that was able to dismiss and destroy the previous evil Empires like yourself; the Nation that rejects your attacks, wishes to remove your evils, and is prepared to fight you. You are well aware that the Islamic Nation, from the very core of its soul, despises your haughtiness and arrogance.

If the Americans refuse to listen to our advice and the goodness, guidance and righteousness that we call them to, then be aware that you will lose this Crusade Bush began, just like the other previous Crusades in which you were humiliated by the hands of the Mujahideen, fleeing to your home in great silence and disgrace. If the Americans do not respond, then their fate will be that of the Soviets who fled from Afghanistan to deal with their military defeat, political breakup, ideological downfall, and economic bankruptcy.

This is our message to the Americans, as an answer to theirs. Do they now know why we fight them and over which form of ignorance, by the permission of Allah, we shall be victorious?

Marty's Bent

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.

Damus 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

---

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Would I do it all again? Of course!

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

For those who still don't truly understand Bitcoin, it means you still don't understand what money is, who creates it, and why humans need money.

It's a scam that the education system doesn't teach this important subject, while we spend almost our entire lives trying to earn money. Therefore, I recommend following the money and studying Bitcoin seriously.

Why Bitcoin Matters

Saving is the greatest discovery in human history

Before humans learned to save, we were just animals living day to day. Saving is what makes humans different from other animals — the ability to think about the future and store for later.

Saving created civilization itself

Without saving, there would be no cities, no science, no art. Everything we call "progress" comes from the ability to save.

Money is the greatest creation in human history

It is the tool that has allowed human civilization to advance to this day. Money is the best tool humans use for saving.

Bitcoin is the best money ever created

It is the most perfect money humans have ever created. No one can control, manipulate, destroy it, and it is truly limited like time in life.

Bitcoin is like a black hole

That will absorb all value from the damaged financial system. It will draw stability and value to itself. Everything of value will flow into Bitcoin eventually.

Bitcoin is like Buddhism discovering truth

It helps understand the root problems of the current financial system and the emergence of many problems in society, just like Buddha who understood all suffering and the causes of suffering.

Bitcoin is freedom

Money is power, money controls human behavior. When we have money that preserves value and cannot be controlled, we will have intellectual freedom, freedom of expression, and the power to choose.

The debt that humanity has created today would take another thousand years to pay off completely

There is no way out and it's heading toward serious collapse. Bitcoin is the light that will help prevent humanity from entering another dark age.

Bitcoin cannot steal your time

It cannot be created from nothing. Every Bitcoin requires real energy and time to create.

Bitcoin is insurance that protects against mismanagement

It helps protect against currency debasement, economic depression, and failed policies. Bitcoin will protect your value.

Bitcoin is going to absorb the world's value

Eventually, Bitcoin will become the store of value for the entire world. It will absorb wealth from all assets, all prices, and all investments.

Exit The Matrix

We live in a financial Matrix. Every day we wake up and go to work, thinking we're building a future for ourselves. But in reality, we're just giving energy to a system that extracts value from us every second. Bitcoin is the red pill — it will open your eyes to see the truth of the financial world. Central banks are the architects of this Matrix — they create money from nothing, and we have to work hard to get it.

The education system has deceived us greatly. They teach us to work for money, but never teach us what money is. We spend 12-16 years in school, then spend our entire lives earning money, but never know what it is, who creates it, and why it has value. This is the biggest scam in human history.

We are taught to be slaves of the system, but not taught to understand the system.

The Bitcoin standard will end war

When you can't print money for war anymore, war becomes too expensive.

We are entering the Bitcoin Renaissance era

An era of financial and intellectual revival. Bitcoin is creating a new class of humans. People who understand and hold Bitcoin will become a new class with true freedom.

The Path to Financial Truth

Follow the money trail and you will see the truth: - Who controls money printing? - Why do prices keep getting higher? - Why are the poor getting poorer and the rich getting richer?

All the answers lie in understanding money and Bitcoin.

Studying Bitcoin is not just about investment — it's about understanding the future of currency and human society.

Don't just work for money. Understand money. Study Bitcoin.

If you don't understand money, you will be a slave to the system forever. If you understand Bitcoin, you will gain freedom.

The 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

มีคำกล่าวที่ว่า “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.

A posição do libertário que rejeita o cristianismo padece de sérias incoerências lógicas, históricas e filosóficas. Ao renegar as bases espirituais e culturais que tornaram possível o próprio ideal libertário, tal posição demonstra ser, ao mesmo tempo, autofágica e irracional. É o caso de alguém que se gloria dos frutos de uma árvore que corta pela raiz.

I. Fundamento histórico: a civilização da liberdade é cristã

Não foi o secularismo moderno, nem o paganismo antigo, que ergueram as instituições que protegem a dignidade da pessoa humana e os limites ao poder. Desde os primeiros séculos, a Igreja resistiu ao culto estatal romano, afirmando a soberania de Deus sobre os Césares — "Mais importa obedecer a Deus que aos homens" (Atos 5,29).

Foi o cristianismo que:

• Fundou universidades livres, onde o saber era buscado sob o primado da verdade;

• Defendeu a lei natural como fundamento do direito — uma doutrina que protege o indivíduo contra tiranias;

• Resgatou e aprofundou o conceito de pessoa, dotada de razão e livre-arbítrio, imagem de Deus, e, portanto, inalienavelmente digna e responsável.

Em momentos-chave da história, como nas disputas entre papado e império, nas resistências contra absolutismos, e na fundação do direito internacional por Francisco de Vitoria e a Escola de Salamanca, foi o cristianismo quem freou o poder estatal em nome de princípios superiores. A tradição cristã foi frequentemente o principal obstáculo à tirania, não seu aliado.

Negar isso é amputar a própria genealogia da liberdade ocidental.

Uma das chaves do cristianismo para a construção dessa civilização da liberdade foi a exaltação do individualismo. Ao afirmar que o ser humano é feito à imagem de Deus e que sua salvação é uma escolha pessoal, o cristianismo colocou o indivíduo no centro da moralidade e da liberdade. Diferente dos gregos, cuja ética era voltada para a polis e a cidade-estado, o cristianismo reafirma a suprema importância do indivíduo, com sua capacidade de escolha moral, responsabilidade pessoal e dignidade intrínseca. Esse princípio, mais do que qualquer outra religião, foi o alicerce do desenvolvimento da liberdade individual e da autonomia, valores que sustentam a civilização ocidental.

A ética grega, na melhor das hipóteses, descreve a ordem natural — mas não consegue justificar por que essa ordem deveria obrigar a vontade humana. Um Logos impessoal não tem autoridade moral. Uma ordem cósmica sem um Legislador é apenas um dado de fato, não uma norma vinculante. A vontade pode rebelar-se contra o telos — e sem um Deus justo, que ordena a natureza à perfeição, não há razão última para não o fazer.

A cultura grega teve uma influência indiscutível sobre o desenvolvimento da civilização ocidental, mas o cristianismo não só absorveu o que havia de bom na cultura grega, como também elevou e completou esses aspectos. O cristianismo, ao afirmar que todos os homens são feitos à imagem e semelhança de Deus e têm dignidade intrínseca, levou a uma noção de igualdade moral e liberdade que transcende as limitações da pólis grega.

---

II. Falsa dicotomia: fé e liberdade não são opostas

Com frequência equiparam a religião à coerção e à obediência cega. Mas isso é um equívoco: o cristianismo não se impõe pela força, mas apela à consciência. O próprio Deus, em sua relação com a criatura racional, respeita sua liberdade. Como ensina a Escritura:

"Se alguém quiser vir após mim..." (Mt 16,24);
"Eis que estou à porta e bato. Se alguém ouvir a minha voz e abrir a porta, entrarei em sua casa e cearei com ele." (Ap 3,20);
"Assim falai, e assim procedei, como devendo ser julgados pela lei da liberdade." (Tiago 2,12).

A adesão à fé deve ser livre, voluntária e racional, pois sem liberdade não há verdadeiro mérito, nem amor genuíno. Isso é mais compatível com o princípio de não agressão do que qualquer utopia secular. Ora, o núcleo do evangelho é voluntarista: salvação pessoal, conversão interior, caridade.

Ninguém deve ser forçado, contra sua vontade, a abraçar a fé, pois o ato de fé é por sua natureza voluntário (Dignitatis Humanae; CDC, cân. 748,2)

Se algum Estado usa da força para impor o cristianismo, afirmar que o cristianismo causou as coerções é tão equivocado quanto dizer que a propriedade privada causa o comunismo; é uma inversão da realidade, pois o comunismo surge precisamente da violação da propriedade. Portanto, a fé forçada é inválida em si mesma, pois viola a natureza do ato de crer, que deve ser livre.

---

III. Fundamento moral: sem transcendência, o libertarianismo flutua no vácuo

O libertário anticristão busca defender princípios objetivos — como a inviolabilidade do indivíduo e a ilegitimidade da agressão — sem um fundamento transcendente que lhes dê validade universal. Por que a agressão é errada? Por que alguém tem direito à vida, à liberdade, à propriedade? Sem uma explicação transcendental, as respostas para tais perguntas se tornam apenas opiniões ou convenções, não obrigações morais vinculantes. Se a moralidade é puramente humana, então os direitos podem ser modificados ou ignorados conforme a vontade da sociedade. O conceito de direitos naturais, tão caro ao libertarianismo, precisa de um solo metafísico que justifique sua universalidade e imutabilidade. Caso contrário, eles podem ser tratados apenas como acordos utilitários temporários ou preferências culturais, sem qualquer obrigatoriedade para todos os seres humanos em todas as circunstâncias.

Pensadores libertários seculares, como Ayn Rand e Murray Rothbard, tentaram ancorar os direitos naturais na razão humana ou na natureza do homem. Rand baseia sua ética no egoísmo racional, enquanto Rothbard apela à lei natural. Embora essas abordagens busquem objetividade, elas carecem de uma resposta definitiva para por que a razão ou a natureza humana obrigam moralmente todos os indivíduos. Sem um fundamento transcendente, suas concepções permanecem vulneráveis a interpretações subjetivas ou a cálculos utilitários.

Aqui, o cristianismo oferece uma explicação sólida e transcendental que fundamenta os direitos naturais. A visão cristã de que o ser humano foi criado à imagem e semelhança de Deus confere à pessoa uma dignidade intrínseca, imutável e universal. Essa dignidade não depende de fatores externos, como consenso social ou poder político, mas é uma característica inerente ao ser humano pela sua criação divina. A partir dessa perspectiva teológica, torna-se possível afirmar com base sólida que os direitos naturais são dados por Deus e, portanto, são universais e vinculantes.

O cristianismo também é a base de um sistema moral que distingue claramente justiça de legalidade. O Estado pode criar leis, mas isso não significa que essas leis sejam justas. A justiça, sob a ótica cristã, é uma expressão da ordem moral objetiva, algo que transcende as leis humanas e é definido pela vontade divina. Por isso, o libertarianismo cristão vê a agressão como uma violação de uma ordem moral objetiva, e não apenas uma violação de uma convenção social ou de um acordo utilitário.

Se a moralidade e os direitos naturais não forem fundamentados em um Logos criador e legislador, o que acontece é que o conceito de direito natural degenera para algo mais frágil, como um simples acordo utilitário. Nesse cenário, os direitos do indivíduo se tornam algo acordado entre os membros de uma sociedade, em vez de princípios imutáveis e universais. Os direitos podem ser negociados, alterados ou ignorados conforme o interesse do momento.

IV. Fundamento científico: a racionalidade moderna é filha da fé cristã

A ciência moderna só foi possível no contexto cultural cristão. Nenhuma outra civilização — nem a grega, nem a islâmica, nem a chinesa — produziu o método científico como o Ocidente cristão o fez.

Isso se deve a quatro premissas teológicas:

1. Criação racional: O mundo é ordenado por um Deus racional.

2. Distinção entre Criador e criatura: A natureza não é divina e pode ser estudada sem sacrilégio.

3. Valor do trabalho e da observação empírica, herdado do monaquismo.

4. Autonomia institucional, presente nas universidades medievais.

A doutrina cristã da Criação ex nihilo ensina que o mundo foi criado por um Deus racional, sábio e pessoal. Portanto, o cosmos é ordenado, possui leis, e pode ser compreendido pela razão humana — que é imagem do Criador. Isso contrasta fortemente com as cosmovisões panteístas ou mitológicas, onde o mundo é cíclico, arbitrário ou habitado por forças caprichosas.

Sem essa fé no Logos criador, não há razão para crer que a natureza tenha uma ordem inteligível universal e constante, que pode ser descoberta por observação e dedução. A ciência moderna só é possível porque, antes de investigar a natureza, pressupôs-se que ela era investigável — e isso foi uma herança direta do pensamento cristão.

Homens como Bacon, Newton, Kepler e Galileu viam na ciência um modo de glorificar o Criador. O ateísmo cientificista é, portanto, parasitário da teologia cristã, pois toma seus frutos e rejeita suas raízes. A ciência moderna nasceu como filha legítima da fé cristã. E os que hoje a usam contra sua mãe, ou são ingratos, ou ignorantes.

V. O cristianismo como barreira à revolução cultural

O cristianismo é a barreira mais sólida contra a infiltração revolucionária. A chamada "marcha gramsciana", que visa corroer os fundamentos morais da sociedade para subjugar o indivíduo ao coletivo, encontra sua resistência mais firme nos princípios cristãos. A fé cristã, ao proclamar a existência de uma verdade objetiva, de uma lei moral imutável e de uma dignidade humana que transcende o Estado e o consenso social, imuniza a civilização contra o relativismo e o igualitarismo nivelador do marxismo cultural.

Além disso, o cristianismo é uma tradição milenar, profundamente enraizada no cotidiano das pessoas, não sendo uma novidade a ser imposta ou implementada, mas uma força presente há séculos, que permeia a estrutura social, moral e cultural da sociedade. Sua presença constante nas comunidades, desde os tempos mais antigos, oferece uma resistência robusta contra qualquer tentativa de subverter a ordem natural e moral estabelecida.

Não por acaso, tanto Karl Marx quanto Antonio Gramsci identificaram no cristianismo o principal obstáculo à realização de seus projetos revolucionários. Marx chamou a religião de "ópio do povo" porque sabia que uma alma ancorada em Deus não se submete facilmente ao poder terreno; Gramsci, mais sutil, propôs a destruição da cultura cristã como pré-condição para o triunfo do socialismo. Sem essa âncora transcendente, a sociedade torna-se presa fácil das engenharias sociais que pretendem redefinir arbitrariamente o homem, a família e a liberdade.

---

Conclusão

O libertário anticristão, consciente ou não, nega as fundações mesmas do edifício que habita. Ao rejeitar o cristianismo, cava o abismo sob os próprios pés, privando o ideal libertário de sua base moral, cultural e racional. Ele defende a ética voluntária, a liberdade individual e a ordem espontânea, mas sem o solo metafísico e histórico que torna esses princípios inteligíveis e possíveis. É um erro tentar preservar a liberdade em termos absolutos sem reconhecer as raízes cristãs que a sustentam, pois o cristianismo é a única tradição que a legitima e a viabiliza.

Negar o cristianismo é racionalmente insustentável. A liberdade, como a conhecemos, é filha da fé cristã, que oferece a base moral e metafísica que torna a liberdade tanto desejável quanto possível. Mesmo que ateu, o libertário que ama a liberdade deveria, no mínimo, respeitar — e, idealmente, redescobrir — essas raízes cristãs. Pois sem fé, restam apenas o niilismo e o relativismo, que, eventualmente, desaguam na servidão.

Como nos ensina a tradição: Ubi fides ibi libertas — onde há fé, há liberdade.

You might notice the styling of this site has changed. That's because I've made a custom Drupal theme using TailwindCSS and daisyUI. For these CSS frameworks / components I've also seperate Drupal theme everyone could use:

https://www.drupal.org/project/tailwind_css 
https://www.drupal.org/project/daisy_ui 

What else?

1. Wrote my third OpenSats progress report, read it here
2. Added Nostr-PHP RelayListMetadata class (NIP-65) and tests, see PR
3. Added Nostr-PHP PersistentConnection class and tests, see PR

@ 06639a38:655f8f71

1) 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

• 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:

• https://yumyu.me
• https://pinja.app

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/blob/main/src/Event/List/DmRelaysList.php
  • Review and implements extra metadata fields for profile
  • 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
• 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.

Originally made using Habla News, now edited and republished using Yakihonne

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:

1. 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.

1. 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.

1. 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).

1. 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).

1. 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.

1. 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).

Michael Saylor Presents The 21 Ways to Wealth at Bitcoin 2025

Michael 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. 

You can watch the full panel discussion and the rest of the Bitcoin 2025 Conference Day 3 below:

@ 43baaf0c:d193e34c

During the incredible Bitcoin Filmfest, I attended a community session where a discussion emerged about zapping and why I believe zaps are important. The person leading the Nostr session who is also developing an app that’s partially connected to Nostr mentioned they wouldn’t be implementing the zap mechanism directly. This sparked a brief but meaningful debate, which is why I’d like to share my perspective as an artist and content creator on why zaps truly matter.

Let me start by saying that I see everything from the perspective of an artist and creator, not so much from a developer’s point of view. In 2023, I started using Nostr after spending a few years exploring the world of ‘shitcoins’ and NFTs, beginning in 2018. Even though I became a Bitcoin maximalist around 2023, those earlier years taught me an important lesson: it is possible to earn money with my art.

Whether you love or hate them, NFTs opened my eyes to the idea that I could finally take my art to the next level. Before that, for over 15 years, I ran a travel stock video content company called @traveltelly. You can read the full story about my journey in travel and content here: https://yakihonne.com/article/traveltelly@primal.net/vZc1c8aXrc-3hniN6IMdK

When I truly understood what Bitcoin meant to me, I left all other coins behind. Some would call that becoming a Bitcoin maximalist.

The first time I used Nostr, I discovered the magic of zapping. It amazed me that someone who appreciates your art or content could reward you—not just with a like, but with real value: Bitcoin, the hardest money on earth. Zaps are small amounts of Bitcoin sent as a sign of support or appreciation. (Each Bitcoin is divisible into 100 million units called Satoshis, or Sats for short—making a Satoshi the smallest unit of Bitcoin recorded on the blockchain.)

The Energy of Zaps

If you’re building an app on Nostr—or even just connecting to it—but choose not to include zaps, why should artists and content creators share their work there? Why would they leave platforms like Instagram or Facebook, which already benefit from massive network effects?

Yes, the ability to own your own data is one of Nostr’s greatest strengths. That alone is a powerful reason to embrace the protocol. No one can ban you. You control your content. And the ability to post once and have it appear across multiple Nostr clients is an amazing feature.

But for creators, energy matters. Engagement isn’t just about numbers—it’s about value. Zaps create a feedback loop powered by real appreciation and real value, in the form of Bitcoin. They’re a signal that your content matters. And that energy is what makes creating on Nostr so special.

But beyond those key elements, I also look at this from a commercial perspective. The truth is, we still can’t pay for groceries with kisses :)—we still need money as a medium of exchange. Being financially rewarded for sharing your content gives creators a real incentive to keep creating and sharing. That’s where zaps come in—they add economic value to engagement.

A Protocol for Emerging Artists and Creators

I believe Nostr offers a great starting point for emerging artists and content creators. If you’re just beginning and don’t already have a large following on traditional social media platforms, Nostr provides a space where your work can be appreciated and directly supported with Bitcoin, even by a small but engaged community.

On the other hand, creators who already have a big audience and steady income on platforms like Instagram or YouTube may not feel the urgency to switch. This is similar to how wealthier countries are often slower to understand or adopt Bitcoin—because they don’t need it yet. In contrast, people in unbanked regions or countries facing high inflation are more motivated to learn how money really works.

In the same way, emerging creators—those still finding their audience and looking for sustainable ways to grow—are often more open to exploring new ecosystems like Nostr, where innovation and financial empowerment go hand in hand.

The same goes for Nostr. After using it for the past two years, I can honestly say: without Nostr, I wouldn’t be the artist I am today.

Nostr motivates me to create and share every single day. A like is nice but receiving a zap, even just 21 sats, is something entirely different. Once you truly understand that someone is willing to pay you for what you share, it’s no longer about the amount. It’s about the magic behind it. That simple gesture creates a powerful, positive energy that keeps you going.

Even with Nostr’s still relatively small user base, I’ve already been able to create projects that simply wouldn’t have been possible elsewhere.

Zaps do more than just reward—they inspire. They encourage you to keep building your community. That inspiration often leads to new projects. Sometimes, the people who zap you become directly involved in your work, or even ask you to create something specifically for them.

That’s the real value of zaps: not just micro-payments, but micro-connections sparks that lead to creativity, collaboration, and growth.

Proof of Work (PoW)

Over the past two years, I’ve experienced firsthand how small zaps can evolve into full art projects and even lead to real sales. Here are two examples that started with zaps and turned into something much bigger:

Halving 2024 Artwork

When I started the Halving 2024 project, I invited people on Nostr to be part of it. 70 people zapped me 2,100 sats each, and in return, I included their Npubs in the final artwork. That piece was later auctioned and sold to Jurjen de Vries for 225,128 Sats.

Magic Internet Money

For the Magic Internet Money artwork, I again invited people to zap 2,100 sats to be included. Fifty people participated, and their contributions became part of the final art frame. The completed piece was eventually sold to Filip for 480,000 sats.

These examples show the power of zaps: a simple, small act of appreciation can turn into larger engagement, deeper connection, and even the sale of original art. Zaps aren’t just tips—they’re a form of collaboration and support that fuel creative energy.

I hope this article gives developers a glimpse into the perspective of an artist using Nostr. Of course, this is just one artist’s view, and it doesn’t claim to speak for everyone. But I felt it was important to share my Proof of Work and perspective.

For me, Zaps matter.

Thank you to all the developers who are building these amazing apps on Nostr. Your work empowers artists like me to share, grow, and be supported through the value-for-value model.

The 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?

ສຳລັບໃຜທີ່ຍັງບໍ່ເຂົ້າໃຈ Bitcoin ຢ່າງແທ້ຈິງ, ຫມາຍຄວາມວ່າເຈົ້າຍັງບໍ່ທັນເຂົ້າໃຈວ່າເງິນແມ່ນຫຍັງ, ໃຜເປັນຜູ້ສ້າງມັນ, ແລະເປັນຫຍັງມະນຸດຈຶ່ງຕ້ອງການເງິນ. ມັນເປັນເລື່ອງ scam ທີ່ລະບົບການສຶກສາບໍ່ໄດ້ສອນເລື່ອງສຳຄັນນີ້, ໃນຂະນະທີ່ພວກເຮົາໃຊ້ເວລາເກືອບທັງຊີວິດເພື່ອຫາເງິນ. ດັ່ງນັ້ນ, ຂໍແນະນຳໃຫ້ follow the money ແລະ ສຶກສາ Bitcoin ຢ່າງຈິງຈັງ.

Why Bitcoin Matters

Saving is the greatest discovery in human history

ກ່ອນທີ່ມະນຸດຈະຮຽນຮູ້ການເກັບອອມ, ພວກເຮົາເປັນພຽງແຕ່ສັດທີ່ມີຊີວິດຢູ່ແບບວັນຕໍ່ວັນ. ການປະຢັດແມ່ນສິ່ງທີ່ເຮັດໃຫ້ມະນຸດແຕກຕ່າງຈາກສັດອື່ນ — ຄວາມສາມາດໃນການຄິດກ່ຽວກັບອະນາຄົດ ແລະ ເກັບໄວ້ສຳລັບມື້ຫຼັງ.

Saving created civilization itself

ບໍ່ມີການເກັບອອມ, ບໍ່ມີການສ້າງເມືອງ, ບໍ່ມີວິທະຍາສາດ, ບໍ່ມີສິລະປະ. ທຸກສິ່ງທີ່ເຮົາເອີ້ນວ່າ "ຄວາມກ້າວໜ້າ" ແມ່ນມາຈາກຄວາມສາມາດໃນການຮູ້ຈັກເກັບອອມ.

Money is the greatest creation in human history

ມັນເປັນເຄື່ອງມືທີ່ເຮັດໃຫ້ອາລະຍະທຳມະນຸດກ້າວໜ້າມາເຖິງທຸກມື້ນີ້ ເງິນ ເປັນເຄື່ອງມືທີ່ດີທີ່ສຸດທີ່ມະນຸດໃຊ້ໃນການເກັບອອມ.

Bitcoin is the best money ever created

ມັນແມ່ນເງິນທີ່ສົມບູນແບບທີ່ສຸດທີ່ມະນຸດເຄີຍສ້າງຂຶ້ນມາ. ບໍ່ມີໃຜສາມາດ ຄວບຄຸມ, ຈັດການ, ທຳລາຍ ແລະ ມີຈຳກັດຢ່າງແທ້ຈິງ ຄືກັບເວລາໃນຊີວິດ.

Bitcoin ຄືກັບ black hole

ທີ່ຈະດູດເອົາມູນຄ່າທັງໝົດຈາກລະບົບການເງິນທີ່ເສຍຫາຍມັນຈະດູດເອົາຄວາມໝັ້ນຄົງແລະມູນຄ່າມາສູ່ຕົວມັນເອງ. ທຸກສິ່ງທີ່ມີມູນຄ່າຈະໄຫຼເຂົ້າສູ່ Bitcoin ໃນທີ່ສຸດ.

Bitcoin ຄືກັບສາດສະໜາພຸດທີ່ຄົ້ນພົບຄວາມຈິງ

ມັນເຮັດໃຫ້ເຂົ້າໃຈຕົ້ນຕໍບັນຫາຂອງລະບົບການເງິນປະຈຸບັນ ແລະ ເກີດເປັນບັນຫາຫລາຍໆຢ່າງໃນສັງຄົມ ດັ່ງກັບພະພຸດທະເຈົ້າທີ່ເຂົ້າໃຈທຸກ ແລະ ເຫດຂອງການເກີດທຸກ.

Bitcoin ຄືອິດສະຫຼະພາບ

ເງິນຄືອຳນາດ, ເງິນຄືສິ່ງຄວບຄຸມພຶດຕິກຳຂອງມະນຸດ ເມື່ອເຮົາມີເງິນທີ່ຮັກສາມູນຄ່າໄດ້ ແລະ ຄວບຄຸມບໍ່ໄດ້ ຈຶ່ງຈະມີຄວາມອິດສະຫຼະທາງຄວາມຄິດ, ການສະແດງອອກ, ແລະ ອຳນາດໃນການເລືອກ.

ຫນີ້ສິນທີ່ມະນຸດສ້າງຂຶ້ນໃນປະຈຸບັນນີ້ ໃຊ້ເວລາອີກພັນປີກໍ່ໄຊ້ຫນີ້ບໍ່ໝົດ

ມັນບໍ່ມີທາງອອກ ແລະ ກຳລັງມຸ່ງໜ້າສູ່ການລົ່ມສະລາຍຢ່າງຮ້າຍແຮງ. Bitcoin ຄືແສງສະຫວ່າງທີ່ຈະຊ່ວຍປ້ອງກັນບໍ່ໃຫ້ມະນຸດເຂົ້າສູ່ຍຸກມືດມົວອີກຄັ້ງ.

Bitcoin cannot steal your time

ມັນບໍ່ສາມາດຖືກສ້າງຂຶ້ນຈາກຄວາມຫວ່າງເປົ່າ. ທຸກ Bitcoin ຕ້ອງໃຊ້ພະລັງງານແລະເວລາທີ່ແທ້ຈິງໃນການສ້າງ.

Bitcoin ຄືປະກັນໄພທີ່ປ້ອງກັນການບໍລິຫານທີ່ຜິດພາດ

ມັນຊ່ວຍປ້ອງກັນຄວາມເສື່ອມໂຊມຂອງເງິນຕາ, ເສດຖະກິດທີ່ຕົກຕ່ຳ ແລະ ນະໂຍບາຍທີ່ຜິດພາດ, Bitcoin ຈະປົກປ້ອງຄຸນຄ່າຂອງເຈົ້າ.

Bitcoin is going to absorb the world's value

ໃນທີ່ສຸດ, Bitcoin ຈະກາຍເປັນທີ່ເກັບຮັກສາມູນຄ່າຂອງໂລກທັງໝົດ. ມັນຈະດູດເອົາຄວາມມັ່ງຄັ່ງຈາກທຸກຊັບສິນ, ທຸກລາຄາ, ແລະທຸກການລົງທຶນ.

Exit The Matrix

ພວກເຮົາອາໄສຢູ່ໃນ Matrix ທາງດ້ານການເງິນ. ທຸກໆມື້ພວກເຮົາຕື່ນຂຶ້ນມາແລະໄປເຮັດວຽກ, ຄິດວ່າເຮົາກຳລັງສ້າງອະນາຄົດໃຫ້ຕົວເອງ. ແຕ່ຄວາມຈິງແລ້ວ, ພວກເຮົາພຽງແຕ່ກຳລັງໃຫ້ພະລັງງານແກ່ລະບົບທີ່ຂູດເອົາຄຸນຄ່າຈາກພວກເຮົາທຸກວິນາທີ. Bitcoin is the red pill — ມັນຈະເປີດຕາໃຫ້ເຈົ້າເຫັນຄວາມຈິງຂອງໂລກການເງິນ. Central banks are the architects of this Matrix — ພວກເຂົາສ້າງເງິນຈາກຄວາມຫວ່າງເປົ່າ, ແລະພວກເຮົາຕ້ອງເຮັດວຽກໜັກເພື່ອໄດ້ມັນມາ.

ລະບົບການສຶກສາໄດ້ຫຼອກລວງເຮົາຢ່າງໃຫຍ່ຫຼວງ. ພວກເຂົາສອນໃຫ້ເຮົາເຮັດວຽກເພື່ອຫາເງິນ, ແຕ່ບໍ່ເຄີຍສອນວ່າເງິນແມ່ນຫຍັງ. ເຮົາໃຊ້ເວລາ 12-16 ປີໃນໂຮງຮຽນ, ຫຼັງຈາກນັ້ນໃຊ້ເວລາທັງຊີວິດເພື່ອຫາເງິນ, ແຕ່ບໍ່ເຄີຍຮູ້ຈັກວ່າມັນແມ່ນຫຍັງ, ໃຜສ້າງ, ແລະເປັນຫຍັງມັນມີຄຸນຄ່າ.This is the biggest scam in human history ພວກເຮົາຖືກສອນໃຫ້ເປັນທາດຂອງລະບົບ, ແຕ່ບໍ່ໄດ້ຮັບການສອນໃຫ້ເຂົ້າໃຈລະບົບ.

The Bitcoin standard will end war

ເມື່ອບໍ່ສາມາດພິມເງິນເພື່ອສົງຄາມແລ້ວ, ສົງຄາມຈະກາຍເປັນສິ່ງທີ່ແພງເກີນໄປ.

ພວກເຮົາກຳລັງເຂົ້າສູ່ຍຸກ Bitcoin Renaissance

ຍຸກແຫ່ງການຟື້ນຟູທາງດ້ານການເງິນແລະປັນຍາ. Bitcoin is creating a new class of humans ຄົນທີ່ເຂົ້າໃຈ ແລະ ຖື Bitcoin ຈະກາຍເປັນຊົນຊັ້ນໃໝ່ທີ່ມີອິດສະຫຼະພາບຢ່າງແທ້ຈິງ.

The Path to Financial Truth

Follow the money trail ແລະເຈົ້າຈະເຫັນຄວາມຈິງ:

• ໃຜຄວບຄຸມການພິມເງິນ?
• ເປັນຫຍັງລາຄາສິນຄ້າຂຶ້ນສູງຂຶ້ນເລື້ອຍໆ?
• ເປັນຫຍັງຄົນທຸກທຸກກວ່າເກົ່າ ແລະຄົນຮັ່ງມີຮັ່ງມີກວ່າເກົ່າ?

ຄຳຕອບທັງໝົດແມ່ນຢູ່ໃນການທຳຄວາມເຂົ້າໃຈເລື່ອງເງິນ ແລະ Bitcoin.

ການສຶກສາ Bitcoin ບໍ່ແມ່ນພຽງແຕ່ການລົງທຶນ — ມັນແມ່ນການເຂົ້າໃຈອະນາຄົດຂອງເງິນຕາ ແລະ ສັງຄົມມະນຸດ.

Don't just work for money. Understand money. Study Bitcoin.

ຖ້າເຈົ້າບໍ່ເຂົ້າໃຈເງິນ, ເຈົ້າຈະເປັນທາດຂອງລະບົບຕະຫຼອດໄປ. ຖ້າເຈົ້າເຂົ້າໃຈ Bitcoin, ເຈົ້າຈະໄດ້ຮັບອິດສະຫຼະພາບ.

Originally made using Habla News, now edited and reposted to Yakihonne

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

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

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

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

9. Iron Falcon (IF)

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

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

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

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

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

21. Ironsworn

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bitcoin'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.

1. Operating Systems (the core to your device)

2. 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.

1. Web Browsers (How you surf the internet)
2. 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)

1. Office Suites (If you need to do professional office documents)
2. 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.

1. 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.

ຄົນສ່ວນຫຼາຍມັກຈະມອງເຫັນ Bitcoin ເປັນສິນຊັບທີ່ມີຄວາມສ່ຽງສູງ ເນື່ອງຈາກມີອັດຕາການປ່ຽນແປງລາຄາທີ່ຮຸນແຮງແລະກວ້າງຂວາງໃນໄລຍະສັ້ນໆ. ແຕ່ຄວາມຈິງແລ້ວ ຄວາມຜັນຜວນຂອງ Bitcoin ແມ່ນຄຸນລັກສະນະພິເສດທີ່ສຳຄັນຂອງມັນ ບໍ່ແມ່ນຂໍ້ບົກພ່ອງ.

ລາຄາແມ່ນຫຍັງ?

ເພື່ອເຂົ້າໃຈເລື້ອງນີ້ດີຂຶ້ນ ເຮົາຕ້ອງເຂົ້າໃຈກ່ອນວ່າລາຄາໝາຍເຖິງຫຍັງ. ລາຄາແມ່ນການສະທ້ອນຄວາມຄິດເຫັນແລະການປະເມີນມູນຄ່າຂອງຜູ້ຊື້ແລະຜູ້ຂາຍໃນເວລາໃດໜຶ່ງ. ການຕັດສິນໃຈຊື້ຫຼືຂາຍໃນລາຄາໃດໜຶ່ງ ກໍແມ່ນການສື່ສານກັບຕະຫຼາດ ແລະກົນໄກຂອງຕະຫຼາດຈະຄ້ົນຫາແລະກໍານົດລາຄາທີ່ແທ້ຈິງຂອງສິນຊັບນັ້ນ.

ເປັນຫຍັງ Bitcoin ຈຶ່ງຜັນຜວນ?

Bitcoin ຖືກສ້າງຂຶ້ນບົນພື້ນຖານອິນເຕີເນັດ ເຮັດໃຫ້ການສື່ສານຄວາມຄິດເຫັນຂອງຜູ້ຄົນສາມາດເຮັດໄດ້ຢ່າງໄວວາ. ຍິ່ງໄປກວ່ານັ້ນ Bitcoin ມີລັກສະນະກະຈາຍສູນ (decentralized) ແລະບໍ່ມີຜູ້ຄວບຄຸມສູນກາງ ຈຶ່ງເຮັດໃຫ້ຄົນສາມາດຕັດສິນໃຈຊື້ຂາຍໄດ້ຢ່າງໄວວາ.

Em nota, a prefeitura justificou que essas alterações visam ampliar a segurança das praias, conforto e organização, para os frequentadores e trabalhadores dos locais. No entanto, Orla Rio, concessionária responsável pelos espaços, e o SindRio, sindicato de bares e restaurantes, ficou insatisfeita com as medidas e reforçou que a música ao vivo aumenta em mais de 10% o ticket médio dos estabelecimentos e contribui para manter os empregos, especialmente na baixa temporada.

De acordo com Paes, as medidas visam impedir práticas ilegais para que a orla carioca continue sendo um espaço ativo econômico da cidade: “Certas práticas são inaceitáveis, especialmente por quem tem autorização municipal. Vamos ser mais restritivos e duros. A orla é de todos”.

Saiba quais serão as 16 proibições nas praias do Rio de Janeiro

• Utilização de caixas de som, instrumentos musicais, grupos ou qualquer equipamento sonoro, em qualquer horário. Apenas eventos autorizados terão permissão.
• Venda ou distribuição de bebidas em garrafas de vidro em qualquer ponto da areia ou do calçadão.
• Estruturas comerciais ambulantes sem autorização, como carrocinhas, trailers, food trucks e barracas.
• Comércio ambulante sem permissão, incluindo alimentos em palitos, churrasqueiras, isopores ou bandejas térmicas improvisadas.
• Circulação de ciclomotores e patinetes motorizados no calçadão.
• Escolinhas de esportes ou recreações não autorizadas pelo poder público municipal.
• Ocupação de área pública com estruturas fixas ou móveis de grandes proporções sem autorização.
• Instalação de acampamentos improvisados em qualquer trecho da orla.
• Práticas de comércio abusivo ou enganosas, incluindo abordagens insistentes. Quiosques e barracas devem exibir cardápio, preços e taxas de forma clara.
• Uso de animais para entretenimento, transporte ou comércio.
• Hasteamento ou exibição de bandeiras em mastros ou suportes.
• Fixação de objetos ou amarras em árvores ou vegetação.

Jack Mallers Announced A New System of Bitcoin Backed Loans at Strike

The 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.”

There’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.

Welcome 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.

I have been really busy this week with work - albeit back in Madeira - so I had little time to read or do much other than work. In the coming weeks I should have more time - I am taking a few weeks off work and have quite a list of things to do.

First thing is to relax a bit and enjoy the pleasant weather here in Funchal for a few days. With 1st May tomorrow it does seem that there will be quite a bit to do..

Some food for thought for you. Who takes and makes your decisions? Do you make them yourself based on information that you have and know to be true or do you allow other people to take and make decisions for you? For example - do you allow governments or unaccountable beaureaucrats and others to decide for you and even to compell you?

In theory Governments should respect Consent of the Governed and the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that "The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government". For you to decide if and to what extent governments today are acting in line with these principles. If not, what can you do about it? I dive into this below and do refer back to letter 9 - section: So What can you do about it.

First, a few things to read, watch and listen to

• I Finance the Current Thing by Allen Farrington - when money is political, everything is political...

• Prediction for 2030 (the Great Reset). Sorelle explains things pretty clearly if you care to watch and listen...

• The Global Pandemic Treaty: What You Need to Know . James Corbett is pretty clear too... is this being done with your support? Did you miss something?

• Why the Past 10 Years of American Life Have Been Uniquely Stupid - fascinating thinking on how quite a few recent things came about...

And a few classics - you ought to know these already and the important messages in them should be much more obvious now...

• 1984 by George Orwell - look for the perpetual war & conflict, ubiquitous surveillance and censorship not to mention Room 101

• Animal farm - also by George Orwell - note how the pigs end up living in the farmhouse exceeding all the worst behaviour of the farmer and how the constitution on the wall changes. Things did not end well for loyal Boxer.

• Brave New World by Aldous Huxley- A World State, inhabited by genetically modified citizens and an intelligence-based social hierarchy - the novel anticipates large scale psychological manipulation and classical conditioning that are combined to make a dystopian society which is challenged by only a single individual who does not take the Soma.

For more - refer to the References and Reading List

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

One of the most transformative books that I ever read was 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven Covey. Over many years and from researching hstorical literature he found seven traits that successful people typically display. By default everyone does the opposite of each of these! Check how you do - be honest...

• Habits 1-3 are habits of Self - they determine how you behave and feel

• Habits 4-6 are habits of interpersonal behaviour - they determine how you deal with and interact with others

• Habit 7 is about regeneration and self care - foundation for happy and healthy life and success

One: Be proactive

Choose your responses to all situations and provocations - your reaction to a situation determines how you feel about it.

By default people will be reactive and this controls their emotions

Two: Begin with the end in mind

When you start to work on something, have a clear view of the goal to be achieved; it should be something substantial that you need and will value.

By default people will begin with what is in front of them or work on details that they can do or progress without having a clear view on the end result to be achieved

Three: Put First things First

Be clear on, and begin with, the Big Rocks- the most important things. If you do not put the Big Rocks into your planning daily activities, your days will be full of sand and gravel! All things can be categorised as Urgent or Not-Urgent and Important or Not-Important.

By Default people will focus on Urgent regardless of importance - all of the results come from focusing on Important Non-Urgent things. All of the 7 Habits are in this category!

Four: Seek Win-Win in all dealings with people and in all negotiations

This is the only sustainable outcome; if you cannot achieve Win-Win then no-deal is the sustainable alternative.

By default people will seek Win-Loose - this leads to failed relationships

Five: Seek first to understand - only then to be understood.

Once you visibly understand the needs and expectations of your counterpart they will be open to listening to your point of view and suggestions/requests - not before!

By default people will expound their point of view or desired result causing their counterpart to want to do the same - this ends in "the dialogue of the deaf"

Six: Synergise - Seek the 3rd alternative in all problems and challenges

Work together to find a proposal that is better than what each of you had in mind

By default people will focus on their own desired results and items, regardless of what the other party could bring to help/facilitate or make available

Seven: Sharpen the saw

Take time to re-invigorate and to be healthy - do nothing to excess. Do not be the forrester who persists in cutting the tree with a blunt saw bcause sharpening it is inconvenient or would "take too much time"!

By default people tend to persist on activities and avoid taking time to reflect, prepare and recover

Mindaps - a technique by Tony Buzan

Many years ago I summarised this in a Mind Map (another technique that was transformative for me - a topic for another Letter from around the world!) see below. Let me know if this interests you - happy to do an explainer video on this!

That's it!

This past week I have been very busy in Holywood - just outside Belfast, Northern Ireland with a lot to do on top of my day-job! It was an unplanned trip but mission accomplished and we are off on the road again. I am writing this on my 3h30 Ryanair flight - so even in weeks like this you can find time to reflect quietly and think clearly if you look for it and seize the opportunity.

You might have noticed that I have "rebranded" the website and newsletter as "Letter From ...around the world". This reflects the reality that Hong Kong is not currently the "Asia World City" and I am not there. Whether it will ever reclaim that title again and when, or even if I can return remains to be seen. I am deeply saddened that after living 10 fabulous years in HK we had to abandon everything that Saturday night at the end of February.

This is the third time in my life that I have chosen Exit from "Loyalty, Voice or Exit" - (recall issue 09 - On Location).... Expect both Voice and Exit to become increasingly difficult or even unavailable in many jurisdictions. It is time to wake up. Talk to me if you are awake or curious!

One thing I learned back in 2004 on my first businss trip to New York is that "The way you react to a situation determines how you feel about it". This is one of so many insights that I learned from "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Steven Covey. I found the book at 4pm in the afternoon walking around outside my hotel trying to stay up to overcome jet-lag. I got back to the hotel and proceeded to devour the entire book overnight. I had never done that with any book before and I do not think I have done it since. Look out for a full review in an upcoming newsletter.

Thanks to Ali Abdaal for his passionate and insightful review of "Show Your Work" by Austin Kleon - clearly this is something that he has internalised and he does practice what he preaches. Indeed this is a short and easy read with many pictures and simple suggestions - recommended! I did read it on my Kindle and I am enjoying how the highlights automagically sync into Obsidian (see last week's find).

I was also inspired by Ali's How to Start a Youtube Channel explainer. I have been following Ali for about 5 years since he was a student doing these videos in his student room on his iPhone while studying Medicine in Cambridge. His passion for sharing his insights on how to study effectively as well as facilitating the learning that medical students needed to do enabled him to set up his own businesss. This set him on the road to his current 3 million subscribers and a business employing over a dozen people inspiring and helping others to acquire skills that are increasingly valuable in the the world today and going forward.

Over the coming months I will be experimenting with different channels and different media not only to discover new insights for myself but also to share things that I distill and find interesting. Also somewhat loosely inspired by "How to Get What you want and Want What You Have" by Jon Gray, I do recognize that I am now in the latter of the "Ten Time Periods" - if I had to pick one, I would say number 8 - at least that is how I feel!

So do subscribe to the newsletter and do follow along on Youtube. I'm obviously still in stage 1 of Ali's 3-stage process - so be patient and do give feedback, questions and suggestions!

Another day - another Airport...

That's it!

The global population has been rising rapidly for the past two centuries when compared to historical trends. Fifty years ago, that trend seemed set to continue, and there was a lot of concern around the issue of overpopulation. But if you haven’t been living under a rock, you’ll know that while the population is still rising, that trend now seems set to reverse this century, and there’s every indication population could decline precipitously over the next two centuries.

Demographics is a field where predictions about the future are much more reliable than in most scientific fields. That’s because future population trends are “baked in” decades in advance. If you want to know how many fifty-year-olds there will be in forty years, all you have to do is count the ten-year-olds today and allow for mortality rates. That maximum was already determined by the number of births ten years ago, and absolutely nothing can change that now. The average person doesn’t think that through when they look at population trends. You hear a lot of “oh we just need to do more of x to help the declining birthrate” without an acknowledgement that future populations in a given cohort are already fixed by the number of births that already occurred.

As you can see, global birthrates have already declined close to the 2.3 replacement level, with some regions ahead of others, but all on the same trajectory with no region moving against the trend. I’m not going to speculate on the reasons for this, or even whether it’s a good or bad thing. Instead I’m going to make some observations about outcomes this trend could cause economically, and why. Like most macro issues, an individual can’t do anything to change the global landscape personally, but knowing what that landscape might look like is essential to avoiding fallout from trends outside your control.

The Resource Pie

Thomas Malthus popularized the concern about overpopulation with his 1798 book An Essay on the Principle of Population. The basic premise of the book was that population could grow and consume all the available resources, leading to mass poverty, starvation, disease, and population collapse. We can say in hindsight that this was incorrect, given that the global population has increased from less than a billion to over eight billion since then, and the apocalypse Malthus predicted hasn’t materialized. Exactly the opposite, in fact. The global standard of living has risen to levels Malthus couldn’t have imagined, much less predicted.

So where did Malthus go wrong? His hypothesis seems reasonable enough, and we do see a similar trend in certain animal populations. The base assumption Malthus got wrong was to assume resources are a finite, limiting factor to the human population. That at some point certain resources would be totally consumed, and that would be it. He treated it like a pie with a lot of slices, but still a finite number, and assumed that if the population kept rising, eventually every slice would be consumed and there would be no pie left for future generations. That turns out to be completely wrong.

Of course, the earth is finite at some abstract level. The number of atoms could theoretically be counted and quantified. But on a practical level, do humans exhaust the earth’s resources? I’d point to an article from Yale Scientific titled Has the Earth Run out of any Natural Resources? To quote,

> However, despite what doomsday predictions may suggest, the Earth has not run out of any resources nor is it likely that it will run out of any in the near future. > > In fact, resources are becoming more abundant. Though this may seem puzzling, it does not mean that the actual quantity of resources in the Earth’s crust is increasing but rather that the amount available for our use is constantly growing due to technological innovations. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the only resource we have exhausted is cryolite, a mineral used in pesticides and aluminum processing. However, that is not to say every bit of it has been mined away; rather, producing it synthetically is much more cost efficient than mining the existing reserves at its current value.

As it happens, we don’t run out of resources. Instead, we become better at finding, extracting, and efficiently utilizing resources, which means that in practical terms resources become more abundant, not less. In other words, the pie grows faster than we can eat it.

So is there any resource that actually limits human potential? I think there is, and history would suggest that resource is human ingenuity and effort. The more people are thinking about and working on a problem, the more solutions we find and build to solve it. That means not only does the pie grow faster than we can eat it, but the more people there are, the faster the pie grows. Of course that assumes everyone eating pie is also working to grow the pie, but that’s a separate issue for now.

Productivity and Division of Labor

Why does having more people lead to more productivity? A big part of it comes down to division of labor and specialization. The best way to get really good at something is to do more of it. In a small community, doing just one thing simply isn’t possible. Everyone has to be somewhat of a generalist in order to survive. But with a larger population, being a specialist becomes possible. In fact, that’s the purpose of money, as I explained here.

nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzp0rve5f6xtu56djkfkkg7ktr5rtfckpun95rgxaa7futy86npx8yqq247t2dvet9q4tsg4qng36lxe6kc4nftayyy89kua2

The more specialized an economy becomes, the more efficient it can be. There are big economies of scale in almost every task or process. So for example, if a single person tried to build a car from scratch, it would be extremely difficult and take a very long time. However, if you have a thousand people building a car, each doing a specific job, they can become very good at doing that specific job and do it much faster. And then you can move that process to a factory, and build machines to do specific jobs, and add even more efficiency.

But that only works if you’re building more than one car. It doesn’t make sense to build a huge factory full of specialized equipment that takes lots of time and effort to design and manufacture, and then only build one car. You need to sell thousands of cars, maybe even millions of cars, to pay off that initial investment. So division of labor and specialization relies on large populations in two different ways. First, you need a large population to have enough people to specialize in each task. But second and just as importantly, you need a large population of buyers for the finished product. You need a big market in order to make mass production economical.

Think of a computer or smartphone. It takes thousands of specialized processes, thousands of complex parts, and millions of people doing specialized jobs to extract the raw materials, process them, and assemble them into a piece of electronic hardware. And electronics are relatively expensive anyway. Imagine how impossible it would be to manufacture electronics economically, if the market demand wasn’t literally in the billions of units.

Stairs Up, Elevator Down

We’ve seen exponential increases in productivity over the past few centuries, resulting in higher living standards even as population exploded. Now, facing the prospect of a drastic trend reversal, what will happen to productivity and living standards? The typical sentiment seems to be “well, there are a lot of people already competing for resources, so if population does decline, that will just reduce the competition and leave a bigger slice of pie for each person, so we’ll all be getting wealthier as a result of population decline.”

This seems reasonable at first glance. Surely dividing the economic pie into fewer slices means a bigger slice for everyone, right? But remember, more specialization and division of labor is what made the pie as big as it is to begin with. And specialization depends on large populations for both the supply of specialized labor, and the demand for finished goods. Can complex supply chains and mass production withstand population reduction intact? I don’t think the answer is clear.

The idea that it will all be okay, and we’ll get wealthier as population falls, is based on some faulty assumptions. It assumes that wealth is basically some fixed inventory of “things” that exist, and it’s all a matter of distribution. That’s typical Marxist thinking, similar to the reasoning behind “tax the rich” and other utopian wealth transfer schemes.

The reality is, wealth is a dynamic concept with strong network effects. For example, a grocery store in a large city can be a valuable asset with a large potential income stream. The same store in a small village with a declining population can be an unprofitable and effectively worthless liability.

Even something as permanent as a house is very susceptible to network effects. If you currently live in an area where housing is scarce and expensive, you might think a declining population would be the perfect solution to high housing costs. However, if you look at a place that’s already facing the beginnings of a population decline, you’ll see it’s not actually that simple. Japan, for example, is already facing an aging and declining population. And sure enough, you can get a house in Japan for free, or basically free. Sounds amazing, right? Not really.

If you check out the reason houses are given away in Japan, you’ll find a depressing reality. Most of the free houses are in rural areas or villages where the population is declining, often to the point that the village becomes uninhabited and abandoned. It’s so bad that in 2018, 13.6% of houses in Japan were vacant. Why do villages become uninhabited? Well, it turns out that a certain population level is necessary to support the services and businesses people need. When the population falls too low, specialized businesses can no longer operated profitably. It’s the exact issue we discussed with division of labor and the need for a high population to provide a market for the specialist to survive. As the local stores, entertainment venues, and businesses close, and skilled tradesmen move away to larger population centers with more customers, living in the village becomes difficult and depressing, if not impossible. So at a certain critical level, a village that’s too isolated will reach a tipping point where everyone leaves as fast as possible. And it turns out that an abandoned house in a remote village or rural area without any nearby services and businesses is worth… nothing. Nobody wants to live there, nobody wants to spend the money to maintain the house, nobody wants to pay the taxes needed to maintain the utilities the town relied on. So they try to give the houses away to anyone who agrees to live there, often without much success.

So on a local level, population might rise gradually over time, but when that process reverses and population declines to a certain level, it can collapse rather quickly from there.

I expect the same incentives to play out on a larger scale as well. Complex supply chains and extreme specialization lead to massive productivity. But there’s also a downside, which is the fragility of the system. Specialization might mean one shop can make all the widgets needed for a specific application, for the whole globe. That’s great while it lasts, but what happens when the owner of that shop retires with his lifetime of knowledge and experience? Will there be someone equally capable ready to fill his shoes? Hopefully… But spread that problem out across the global economy, and cracks start to appear. A specialized part is unavailable. So a machine that relies on that part breaks down and can’t be repaired. So a new machine needs to be built, which is a big expense that drives up costs and prices. And with a falling population, demand goes down. Now businesses are spending more to make fewer items, so they have to raise prices to stay profitable. Now fewer people can afford the item, so demand falls even further. Eventually the business is forced to close, and other industries that relied on the items they produced are crippled. Things become more expensive, or unavailable at any price. Living standards fall. What was a stairway up becomes an elevator down.

Hope, From the Parasite Class?

All that being said, I’m not completely pessimistic about the future. I think the potential for an acceptable outcome exists.

I see two broad groups of people in the economy; producers, and parasites. One thing the increasing productivity has done is made it easier than ever to survive. Food is plentiful globally, the only issues are with distribution. Medical advances save countless lives. Everything is more abundant than ever before. All that has led to a very “soft” economic reality. There’s a lot of non-essential production, which means a lot of wealth can be redistributed to people who contribute nothing, and if it’s done carefully, most people won’t even notice. And that is exactly what has happened, in spades.

There are welfare programs of every type and description, and handouts to people for every reason imaginable. It’s never been easier to survive without lifting a finger. So millions of able-bodied men choose to do just that.

Besides the voluntarily idle, the economy is full of “bullshit jobs.” Shoutout to David Graeber’s book with that title. (It’s an excellent book and one I would highly recommend, even though the author was a Marxist and his conclusions are completely wrong.) A 2015 British poll asked people, “Does your job make a meaningful contribution to the world?” Only 50% said yes, while 37% said no and 13% were uncertain.

This won’t be a surprise to anyone who’s operated a business, or even worked in the private sector in general. There are three types of jobs; jobs that accomplish something productive, jobs that accomplish nothing of value, and jobs that actually hinder people trying to accomplish something productive. The number of jobs in the last two categories has grown massively over the years. This would include a lot of unnecessary administrative jobs, burdensome regulatory jobs, useless DEI and HR jobs, a large percentage of public sector jobs, most of the military-industrial complex, and the list is endless. All these jobs accomplish nothing worthwhile at best, and actively discourage those who are trying to accomplish something at worst.

Even among jobs that do accomplish some useful purpose, the amount of time spent actually doing the job continues to decline. According to a 2016 poll, American office workers spent only 39% of their workday actually doing their primary task. The other 61% was largely wasted on unproductive administrative tasks and meetings, answering emails, and just simply wasting time.

I could go on, but the point is, there’s a lot of slack in the economy. We’ve become so productive that the number of people actually doing the work to keep everyone fed, clothed, and cared for is only a small percentage of the population. In one sense, that’s a cause for optimism. The population could decline a lot, and we’d still have enough bodies to man the economic engine, as it were.

Aging

The thing with population decline, though, is nobody gets to choose who goes first. Not unless you’re a psychopathic dictator. So populations get old, then they get small. This means that the number of dependents in the economy rises naturally. Once people retire, they still need someone to grow the food, keep the lights on, and provide the medical care. And it doesn’t matter how much money the retirees have saved, either. Money is just a claim on wealth. The goods and services actually have to be provided by someone, and if that someone was never born, all the money in the world won’t change anything.

And the aging occurs on top of all the people already taking from the economy without contributing anything of value. So that seems like a big problem.

Currently, wealth redistribution happens through a combination of direct taxes, indirect taxation through deficit spending, and the whole gamut of games that happen when banks create credit/debt money by making loans. In a lot of cases, it’s very indirect and difficult to pin down. For example, someone has a “job” in a government office, enforcing pointless regulations that actually hinder someone in the private sector from producing something useful. Their paycheck comes from the government, so a combination of taxes on productive people, and deficit spending, which is also a tax on productive people. But they “have a job,” so who’s going to question their contribution to society? On the other hand, it could be a banker or hedge fund manager. They might be pulling in a massive salary, but at the core all they’re really doing is finding creative financial ways to transfer wealth from productive people to themselves, without contributing anything of value.

You’ll notice a common theme if you think about this problem deeply. Most of the wealth transfer that supports the unproductive, whether that’s welfare recipients, retirees, bureaucrats, corporate middle managers, or weapons manufacturers, is only possible through expanding the money supply. There’s a limit to how much direct taxation the productive will bear while the option to collect welfare exists. At a certain point, people conclude that working hard every day isn’t worth it, when taxes take so much of their wages that they could make almost as much without working at all. So the balance of what it takes to support the dependent class has to come indirectly, through new money creation.

As long as the declining population happens under the existing monetary system, the future looks bleak. There’s no limit to how much money creation and inflation the parasite class will use in an attempt to avoid work. They’ll continue to suck the productive class dry until the workers give up in disgust, and the currency collapses into hyperinflation. And you can’t run a complex economy without functional money, so productivity inevitably collapses with the currency.

The optimistic view is that we don’t have to continue supporting the failed credit/debt monetary system. It’s hurting productivity, messing up incentives, and contributing to increasing wealth inequality and lower living standards for the middle class. If we walk away from that system and adopt a hard money standard, the possibility of inflationary wealth redistribution vanishes. The welfare and warfare programs have to be slashed. The parasite class is forced to get busy, or starve. In that scenario, the declining population of workers can be offset by a massive shift away from “bullshit jobs” and into actual productive work.

While that might not be a permanent solution to declining population, it would at least give us time to find a real solution, without having our complex economy collapse and send our living standards back to the 17th century.

It’s a complex issue with many possible outcomes, but I think a close look at the effects of the monetary system on productivity shows one obvious problem that will make the situation worse than necessary. Moving to a better monetary system and creating incentives for productivity would do a lot to reduce the economic impacts of a declining population.

Amerikai 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.

Issue 11 already - I will be including numbers going forward to make past letters easier to find and refer to. The past two weeks I have been on vacation - my first real vacation is a couple of years. Monday I am back to work for a bit. I have decided to work from here rather than subject myself to more international travel - we are still refugees from the insanity in Hong Kong. We really have been relaxing and enjoying life on the island. Levada hikes and Jeep tours!

220415 Jeep tour - Cabo Girao, Porto Moniz, Fanal and Ponto do Sol - Madeira

We had plenty of time to relax and enjoy life. Madeira is a fantastic place to visit with lots to see and do and even more weather!. I did think that HK was mountainous - but Madeira is next level! Portuguese is also something else; have not yet made much progress but we did not try much and English will generally suffice. As you see in the video above, Madeira is getting serious about attracting Digital Nomads and as you will see below they have forward-thinking local government - exactly as foreseen in my top book pick - The Sovereign Indvidual.

I did get to read quite a lot of interesting books and material - will be sharing insights below and going forward. Happy to discuss too - that offer is still open.

Among other things I got to appreciate more the Apple ecosystem and the seamless integration between Mac, iPhone and iPad - in combination with working with no/limited WiFi and using tethering from my CalyxOS Pixel. Strong privacy is important and Apple scores reasonably well - though you will want to take some additional precautions, I have been enjoying reading my kindle on all platforms and listening to the audio-books with reading-location syncing (fantastic). I am considering sharing tips and tricks on secure setups as well as aspects that I find particularly useful - do talk to me if you have questions or suggestions.

Bitcoin BTC

Given how important Bitcoin already is and will become I think it is right that I should include a section here with relevant news, insights and provocations to discuss. Note that Bitcoin is different from "Crypto"; do not get them mixed up!

• Madeira is not just trying to be friendly to digital nomads - photo above and Ponto do Sol. Last week the President of the Government of Madeira, Miguel Albuquerque attended the Miami conference to announce that his government will “work to create a fantastic environment for bitcoin in Madeira.” This is part of the Game Theory of Bitcoin Adoption by Nation States

• Announcing Taro, Multi-Asset Bitcoin & Lightning** **- this has potential to be something really big. It complements, and may even be better than, Jack Mallers' Strike. Their Blog post is here and the Wiki with the detailed specification is here.

• Michael Saylor is one of today's pre-eminent thinkers and communicators. Listen and learn from his revcent interview with Lex Friedman.

• SLP365 Anita Posch - Bitcoin For Fairness in Zimbabwe and Zambia — A great interview by Stephan Livera. Key takeaways: Learn how to use it before you really need it. if it works in Zimbabwe and Namibia it will work anywhere It’s still early and governments will give no help; rather they will be busy putting sticks in the wheels and sand in the gears…

• For those who look for education on Bitcoin - a starting point can be Anita Posch's The Art of (L)earning Bitcoin with many useful resources linked.

Discovery of the week - Obsidian

For years I have been an avid notetaker. I caught the bug when I did Electronic Engineering at Southampton University and we had to keep a "lab book". Ever since then in my professional work I kept a notebook and took daily notes. Recently this evolved into taking notes on computer. With the arrival of online working and screen-sharing such notes can be very useful and this unleased new value in note-taking.

For personal notes I found great value with Apple Notes - a tool that has improved dramatically in recent years and works perfectly on Mac, iPhone and iPad. However, like many notetakers I often felt that I was "missing a trick". The reality is that searching and retrieval is not as easy as you want it to be and it's hard to reassemble and repurpose your collected information into new output.

In recent years I have considered using several tools but found none of them compelling enough to put in the time to learn and adopt. There is also the fear of "lock in" and endless subscriptions to pay - as anyone who has used Evernote will know!

Big thank you to Rachel for this one. She did get me thinking and encouraged me to give Obsidian another try - I had looked at it last year but it felt overwhelming compared to Apple Notes - I could never have imagined how great it could be!

The absolute best overview of Obsidian and how to use it is FromSergio - his playlist is required watching. Particular highlights:

• Kindle Highlights - this is a superbly useful feature that normally you can only get with a subscription service - do buy the developer a coffee!

• No Lock-in - your files are simple markdown and you have full control

• Works perfectly on Mac and iPhones using iCloud - no annoying sync subscription to pay for

• It's free for personal use - no payment or annoying subscription

• Lots of high quality training material readily available and a great community of people to help you

Reading

• Empires Rise and Fall this extracts and summarises from John Glubb's paper of nearly 100 years ago, The Fate of Empires - I think you call that foresight! I do identify with his frustrations about how history has been taught considering how important it is to learn from past generations.

• The Sovereign Individual is required reading for everyone - I did dip back into it a few times over the last week or so, making Kindle highlights that magically sync into Obsidian - how great is that! If you read nothing else, read chapter 7.

• From Paris to Karachi – Regime Change is In the Air - Tom Luongo is a most interesting character and he does speak his mind. Read and consider. You might prefer to listen to him discussing with Marty.

• Aleks Svetski: The Remnant, The Parasite & The Masses - inspired by the incredible 1930’s essay by Albert J Nock; Isaiah’s Job. Aleks discusses this in his Wake Up podcast - also recommended.

• In my TBR queue (to be read): Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand - I must admit, I am in intrigued by Odolena's review in addition to Aleks' recommendation.

• I also think that I need to restart on (and finish) Foundation by Isaac Asimov - after watching Odolena's review of it!

• ...and I need to add Meditations by Marcus Aurelius - again inspired by Odolena's review and I have seen others recommend it too!

Watching and Listening

• Joe Blogs: Who is BUYING Russian Oil Now? Can Europe really change SUPPLIERS & are SANCTIONS Working? - do stop and think - in who's name are the governments implementing all these extreme measures - go back and re-read section "So what can you do about it?" in issue 9

• Rupert Murdochizing The Internet — The Cyberlaw Podcast — whether you agree with him or not Stewart Baker is just the best podcast provocateur!

• AntiWarhol, Culture Creation, & The Pop Art Syndicate — One of The Higherside Chats - perhaps this might open your mind and make you question some things. The rabbit hole goes deep.

• How Britain's Bankers Made Billions From The End Of Empire. At the demise of British Empire, City of London financial interests created a web of offshore secrecy jurisdictions that captured wealth from across the globe and hid it behind obscure financial structures in a web of offshore islands.

• Secret City - A film about the City of London, the Corporation that runs it.

• How things get Re-Priced when a Currency Fails — An important explainer from Joe Brown of The Heresy Financial Podcast — keep an eye out for signs!

• E76: Elon vs. Twitter — the All-In Podcast. I do not agree with all these boyz say but it is interesting to listen to see how the Silicon Valley types think. David Sacks nails it, and Chamath is not far behind! If you were in any doubt as to how corrupt things are this should put you right!

Bitcoin 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.

Inflation vs. Deflation: What’s the Difference?

Today, we use fiat currencies—dollars, euros, or leva—issued by governments and central banks that can print money without limit. This leads to inflation, a decrease in the purchasing power of money because the money supply grows faster than the goods and services in the economy. The result? Prices for everything—from bread to cars—rise over time.

Bitcoin, unlike fiat money, has a hard cap of 21 million coins, set to be fully “mined” by 2140. This means the money supply is fixed and can’t be arbitrarily increased. In such a system, as technology improves production and the economy grows, the amount of goods and services increases, but the money supply stays the same. The result is deflation—prices fall because the same amount of money is chasing more goods.

The Bread Example

Take bread as an example. Fifty years ago, making bread required a lot of manual labor—kneading, shaping, baking. Today, machines handle most of the process, from mixing dough to packaging. Production is faster, more efficient, and requires fewer workers. Logically, bread should be cheaper, right? Yet, its price has risen from, say, 20 cents decades ago to $1 today. Why? Because inflation, driven by printing more money, outpaces the cost savings from technology. In a Bitcoin standard, those same technological advancements would lead to cheaper bread since there’s no excess money “diluting” purchasing power.

Wages in a Deflationary World

Now, picture your boss saying, “We’re cutting your salary this year.” Sounds like a nightmare, doesn’t it? In today’s world, we expect wage increases to “keep up” with inflation. But in a deflationary world, where prices are falling, a lower salary isn’t a problem. If bread, rent, and clothes get cheaper, you can buy more with less money. For example, if your salary drops from $2,000 to $1,800 but bread falls from $1 to $0.75, your real purchasing power actually increases. It’s a radically different mindset, but it makes sense in a world with a fixed currency.

Why Is This So Hard to Grasp?

The idea of falling prices and wages feels alien because we were born into an inflationary world. From childhood, we’ve seen the cost of everything—food, housing, even coffee at our favorite café—steadily rise. Inflation is so ingrained that we assume prices must go up. But this isn’t a natural law; it’s a consequence of the fiat system. A century ago, when gold backed currencies, prices often stayed stable or even fell as technology advanced. A Bitcoin standard would bring us back to that dynamic.

What Else Should We Know?

A deflationary world brings other fascinating changes. People would save more because their money would be worth more tomorrow. Today, inflation erodes savings, pushing us to spend or invest quickly. In a Bitcoin standard, we’d value the future more since our savings would grow in real value. But there are challenges too—deflation might discourage risky investments because people prefer holding money over spending it on uncertain ventures.

Moreover, a Bitcoin standard reshapes how we think about debt. Today, we take loans knowing tomorrow’s money will be worth less, making repayment easier. In a deflationary world, debts become heavier because you’d owe more real value tomorrow. This could make us more cautious and responsible with borrowing.

A Bitcoin standard invites us to rethink the economy we grew up in. Falling prices and stagnant or declining wages sound like a fantasy, but they’re the logical outcome of a currency with a fixed supply. Technology will keep making life easier and more efficient, and in a world without inflation, this would translate to lower prices and greater purchasing power. Maybe it’s time we stop taking inflation for granted and imagine a world where our money grows more valuable over time.

Yeah, I’m sure everything in the file is legit. 👍 Let’s review the guard witness testimony…Oh wait, they weren’t at their posts despite 24/7 survellience instructions after another Epstein “suicide” attempt two weeks earlier. Well, at least the video of the suicide is in the file? Oh wait, a techical glitch. Damn those coincidences!

At this point, the Trump administration has zero credibility with me on anything related to the Epstein case and his clients. I still suspect the administration is using the Epstein files as leverage to keep a lot of RINOs in line, whereas they’d be sabotaging his agenda at every turn otherwise. However, I just don’t believe in ends-justify-the-means thinking. It’s led almost all of DC to toss out every bit of the values they might once have had.

April already and we are still refugees from the madness in HK. During March I had quite a few family matters that took priority and I also needed to work for two weeks. April is a similar schedule but we flew to Madeira for a change of scene and so that I could have a full 2-weeks off - my first real holiday in quite a few years!

We are staying in an airBnB in Funchal - an experience that I can totally recommend - video below! Nice to have an apartment that is fully equipped in a central location and no hassle for a few weeks. While here we are making the most of the great location and all the local possibiliites.

Elsewhere in the world

Things are clearly not going great around the world. If you are still confused as to why these things are happening, do go back and read the previous Letter from HK section "Why? How did we get here?"

You should be in no doubt that the "Great Reset" with its supporting "Great Narrative" is in full swing.. This is it - it is not a drill. For additional insights the following are recommended.

• Jeff Booth discusses clearly and unemotionally with Pomp - Inflation is theft from humanity by the world governments

• James' summary of Day 2 of the Miami conference - Peter Thiel (wow) and a fantastic explainer from Saifedean on the costs of the current corrupt financial system

• James' summary of Day 3 of the Miami conference - listen in particular to the words of wisdom from Michael Saylor and Lyn Alden

• Layered Money - The corruption of the system will blow your mind once you understand it…

• This is BIG: Strike Is Bringing Freedom To Retail Merchants

• Mark summarises Ray's book: Things will go faster and slower than you want!

• Thoughtful words from George - evil is at work - be in no doubt..

• Wow - My mind is blown. Must listen to John Carvalho - what clear ambition and answers to every question!

• Related to the John Carvalho discussion. Likely these two options will end up complementing each other

On the personal and inspirational side

Advantage of time off work is that I have more time to read, listen and watch things that interest me. It really is a privilege that so much high quality material is so readily available. Do not let it go to waste. A few fabulous finds (and some re-finds) from this past week:

• Ali Abdaal's bookshelf review just blew my mind! For the full list of books with links see the text under his video. So many inspirations and his delivery is perfect.

• Gotta recommend Ali's 21 Life Lessons. I have been following him since he was student in Cambridge five years ago - his personal and professional growth and what he achieves (now with his team) is truely staggering.

• Also his 15 books to read in 2022 - especially this one!

• I also keep going back to Steve Jobs giving the 2005 Stanford Commencement address Three stories from his life - listen and be inspired - especially story #3

You will know that I am a fan of Audio Books and also Kindle - recently I am starting to use Whispersync where you get the Kindle- and Audio-books together for a nice price. This makes it easier to take notes (using Mac or iPad Kindle reader) while getting the benefit of having the book read to you by a professional reader.

I have also been inspired by a few people pushing themselves to do more reading - like this girl and Ali himself with his tips. Above all: just do it and do not get stuck on something that does not work for you!

Books that I am reading - Audio and Kindle!

• The Final Empire: Mistborn, Book 1 - this is a new genre for me - I rather feel that it might be a bit too complicated for my engineering mind - let's see

• Die with Zero: Getting All You Can from Your Money and Your Life - certainly provocative and obvious if you think about it but 99% do the opposite!

• Chariots of the Gods - a classic by Erich von Daniken (written in 1968) - I have been inspired by his recent YT video appearances. Thought provoking and leads you to many possibilities.

So what's it like in Funchal, Madeira?

This piece is the first in a series that will focus on things I think are a priority if your focus is similar to mine: building a strong family and safeguarding their future.

---

Choosing the ideal place to raise a family is one of the most significant decisions you will ever make. For simplicity sake I will break down my thought process into key factors: strong property rights, the ability to grow your own food, access to fresh water, the freedom to own and train with guns, and a dependable community.

A Jurisdiction with Strong Property Rights

Strong property rights are essential and allow you to build on a solid foundation that is less likely to break underneath you. Regions with a history of limited government and clear legal protections for landowners are ideal. Personally I think the US is the single best option globally, but within the US there is a wide difference between which state you choose. Choose carefully and thoughtfully, think long term. Obviously if you are not American this is not a realistic option for you, there are other solid options available especially if your family has mobility. I understand many do not have this capability to easily move, consider that your first priority, making movement and jurisdiction choice possible in the first place.

Abundant Access to Fresh Water

Water is life. I cannot overstate the importance of living somewhere with reliable, clean, and abundant freshwater. Some regions face water scarcity or heavy regulations on usage, so prioritizing a place where water is plentiful and your rights to it are protected is critical. Ideally you should have well access so you are not tied to municipal water supplies. In times of crisis or chaos well water cannot be easily shutoff or disrupted. If you live in an area that is drought prone, you are one drought away from societal chaos. Not enough people appreciate this simple fact.

Grow Your Own Food

A location with fertile soil, a favorable climate, and enough space for a small homestead or at the very least a garden is key. In stable times, a small homestead provides good food and important education for your family. In times of chaos your family being able to grow and raise healthy food provides a level of self sufficiency that many others will lack. Look for areas with minimal restrictions, good weather, and a culture that supports local farming.

Guns

The ability to defend your family is fundamental. A location where you can legally and easily own guns is a must. Look for places with a strong gun culture and a political history of protecting those rights. Owning one or two guns is not enough and without proper training they will be a liability rather than a benefit. Get comfortable and proficient. Never stop improving your skills. If the time comes that you must use a gun to defend your family, the skills must be instinct. Practice. Practice. Practice.

A Strong Community You Can Depend On

No one thrives alone. A ride or die community that rallies together in tough times is invaluable. Seek out a place where people know their neighbors, share similar values, and are quick to lend a hand. Lead by example and become a good neighbor, people will naturally respond in kind. Small towns are ideal, if possible, but living outside of a major city can be a solid balance in terms of work opportunities and family security.

Let me know if you found this helpful. My plan is to break down how I think about these five key subjects in future posts.

Succotash: the connection game

Succotash is a simple "connection game" like Hex or Tak. Would love to hear any feedback.

You can take a look or play at https://succotash.vercel.app

Below is "the story"...

---

Serendipity: the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way.

The past few days, a delightful series of events occurred and I ended up with Succotash, the game.

You can read about how it started at the Succotash announcement on Hive, but here's the lowdown:

• It began with a photo. One day, my wife lined up our little tomatoes on the counter, I snapped a pic, and put it on Nostr and it was auto-bridged over to Hive. This simple note sparked something unexpected.

• On Hive, @sherah suggested the that photo looked like a game. That gave me an itch. Could moving tomatoes on a grid make a game?
• There are lots of "connection games" where you try to connect your side to your opponent's side. Could I make a simple game?
• I drew a 5 x 5 grid of dots on paper. I had some dry corn kernels and beans nearby, so I placed them on the paper and started moving them around.

• A Hawaiian girl nearby saw what I was doing and looked at me with a very puzzled look. "It's a game. Want to play it?" We gave Succotash the first ever test run. Later that day, my wife and I sat down on the floor and played the game again. It seemed fun enough.
• I posted the announcement on Hive.
• After some suggestions in the comments about adding an element of randomization with a dice roll, I began to build an online version. The initial version 0.0.1 looked like this:

Playing the game, I wanted absolutely wanted the simplicity of corn and beans on paper. But, I felt another element was needed for game play. Plus, I wanted tomatoes. So, I added the chance to earn a sixth player piece, a "Tomato." If you move into both corners of your opponent's home, you earn a sixth game piece. Your Tomato pops into the center square and then you play normally with six pieces.

I'm really pleased with the digital version. The game is only one html file and can actually be downloaded and played offline. But, truth be told, I still prefer the real corn and beans on paper. My wife agrees.

Why "Succotash"?

At first, I wanted a tomato-themed name, but since I was using using corn and beans, "Succotash" seemed perfect - it's a dish that combines corn, beans, and vegetables. I considered calling it the "Texas Caviar Game" (since that recipe has tomatoes along with corn and beans, and because it's delicious), but "Succotash" just sounds more fun. Plus, adding tomatoes to succotash sounds yummy as well.

Keeping It Simple

A big goal was to keep the game simple. All you need is:

• A 5 x 5 grid
• 5 pieces of something and 5 pieces of something else (well, if you play with the tomatoes added, 6 of each)

Starting out, I used corn kernels and beans. But, you could use anything: bottle caps and coins, pieces of paper and paper clips, just five of anything (or 6 with the tomatoes). There is even a way to implement the randomization of an attack, with or without dice, see the Rules. I really like that this game could literally be played in the sand with sticks and stones, like we used to do as kids.

"Wow, I can't believe my little comment helped make this game real... Tomatoes, beans, and corn making a game is just the coolest thing." - sherah

Serendipity sometimes leads to wonderful, organic, and fun creations.

Succotash is open source on GitHub at https://github.com/crrdlx/succotash

Play Succotash online at https://succotash.vercel.app (or play with corn and beans on paper!). If you play, there may be glitches. Likely, there are and suggestions are welcome. Maybe the game will morph a bit further. Either way, I'd love any feedback.

Currently, and for the last three weeks, I am in Belfast. With the situation in HK becoming ever more crazy by the day we took the opportunity to escape from Hong Kong for a bit - I escaped with V and 3 suitcases. I also have some family matters that I am giving priority to at this time. We plan to stay a few more weeks in Northern Ireland and then after some time in Belgium we will be visiting some other European locations. I do hope that HK will be a place that we can go back to - we will see...

What's happening?

Quite a few significant events have happened in the last few weeks that deserve some deeper analysis and checking than you will ever get from the media propaganda circus that is running full force at the moment. You should be in no doubt that the "Great Reset" with its supporting "Great Narrative" is in full swing.

In most of the world the C19 story has run its course - for now. Most countries seem to have have "declared victory" and "moved on". Obviously HK is an exception (nothing happened there for the last two years) and I fear they will get to experience the whole 2-year thing in the coming 3-4 months. Watch out - the politicians everywhere are looking to permanently establish the "emergency controls" as "normal" - see previous Letter for some examples in Ireland and EU.

Invasion of Ukraine has led to so many lines being crossed - to the extent that clearly things will never be the same again in our lifetime.

Why? How did we get here?

I do not claim to know all the answers but some things are fairly clear if you look with open eyes and the wisdom that previous generations and civilisations have made available to us - even if most choose to ignore it (Plato on the flaws of democracy). Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it and even those who learn will have litle choice but to go along for much of the ride.

Perhaps my notes and the links below will help you to form an educated opinion rather than the pervasive propaganda we are all being fed.

The current situation is more than 100 years in the making and much (if not most) of what you thought was true is less veracious than you could ever imagine. No doubt we could (and maybe should) go back further but let's start in 1913 when the British Government asked the public no longer to request exchange of their pounds for gold coins at the post office. This led to the issuing of War Bonds and fractional reserve accounting that allowed the Bank of England essentially to print unlimited money to fight in WW1; without this devious action they would have been constrained to act within the limits of the country's reserves and WW1 would have been shorter. Read The Fiat Standard for more details on how this happened. Around this time, and likely no coincidence, the US bankers were scheming how to get around the constitutional controls against such actions in their own country - read more in The Creature from Jekyll Island.

Following WW1, Germany was forced to pay war reparations in Gold (hard money). This led to a decade of money printing and extravagant excesses and crashes as hyperinflation set in, ending in the bankrupting of the country and the nationalism that fed WW2 - the gory details of devaluation and hyperinflation in Weimar Germany are described in When Money Dies. Meanwhile the US bankers who had been preparing since 1913 stepped in with unlimited money printing to fund WW2 and then also in their Marshal Plan to cement in place the Bretton Woods post-war agreement that made US Dollar the global reserve currency.

Decades of boom and bust followed - well explained by Ray Dalio who portrays this as perfectly normal and to be expected - unfortunately it is for soft (non-hard) money based economies. The Fourth Turning will give many additional insights to this period too as well as cycles to watch for and their cause and nature. In 1961 Eisenhower tried to warn the population in his farewell address about the "Military Industrial Complex" and many believe that Robert Kennedy's assassination in 1963 may well be not entirely unrelated.

Things came to a head in August 1971 when the countries of the world realised that the US was (contrary to all promises) printing unlimited funds to (among other things) fight the Vietnam war and so undermining the expected and required convertibility of US dollars (the currency of global trade) for Gold (hard money). A French warship heading to NY to collect France's gold was the straw that caused Nixon to default on US Debt convertibility and "close the gold window".

This in turn led to further decades of increasing financialization, further fuelled (pun intended) by the PetroDollar creation and "exorbitant priviledge" that the US obtained by having the global reserve currency - benefiting those closest to the money supply (Cantillon effect) while hollowing out the US manufacturing and eventually devastating its middle and working classes (Triffin dilemma) - Arthur Hayes describes all this and much more as well as the likely outlook in his article - Energy Canceled. Absolutely required reading or listen to Guy Swan reading it and giving his additional interpetation.

Zoltan Pozsar of Credit Suisse explains how the money system is now being reset following the events of last few weeks and his article outlines a likely way forward - Bretton Woods III. His paper is somewhat dense, heavy reading and you might prefer to listen to Luc Gromen's more conversational explainer with Marty

All of this was well known to our forefathers

The writers of the American Constitution understood the dangers of money being controlled by any elite group and they did their best to include protections in the US constitution. It did take the bankers multiple decades and puppet presidents to circumvent these but do so they did. Thomas Jefferson could not have been more clear in his warning.

" If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around(these banks) will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

Islamic finace also recognised the dangers - you will likely be aware of the restrictions that forbid interest payments - read this interesting article from The Guardian

You will likely also be aware from schooldays that the Roman Empire collapsed because it expanded too much and the overhead became unbearable leading to the debasement of its money and inability to extract tax payments to support itself. Read more from Mises Institute. Here too, much of this will likely ring familiar.

So what can you do about it?

In theory Governments should respect Consent of the Governed and the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that "The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government".

For you to decide if and to what extent governments today are acting in line with these principles. If not, what can you do about it?

The options you have are basically - Loyalty, Voice or Exit. 1. You can be loyal and accept what you are told - 2. you may (or may not) be able to voice disagreement and 3. you may (or may not!) be able to exit. Authoritarian governments will make everything except Loyalty difficult or even impossible - if in doubt, read George Orwell 1984 - or look just around at recent events today in many countries.

I'll be happy to delve deeper into this in subsequent letters if there is interest - for now I recommend you to read Sovereign Individual. It is a long read but each chapter starts with a summary and you can read the summaries of each chapter as a first step. Also - I'm happy to discuss with you - just reach out and let me know!

Contexto e início

O precursor direto do avivamento foi William J. Seymour, um pregador afro-americano filho de ex-escravos, influenciado pelos ensinamentos de Charles Parham, que pregava o "batismo no Espírito Santo" com evidência do falar em línguas.

Em 1906, Seymour foi convidado para pregar em uma igreja em Los Angeles. Após ser rejeitado por alguns por sua pregação sobre o batismo com o Espírito Santo, ele começou a liderar reuniões de oração na casa da família Asberry. Em abril de 1906, durante uma dessas reuniões, os participantes começaram a experimentar manifestações intensas do Espírito Santo, incluindo glossolalia (falar em línguas), curas e profecias.

A Rua Azusa

Logo, o número de participantes cresceu tanto que foi necessário mudar para um antigo prédio da Igreja Metodista Africana Episcopal, no número 312 da Rua Azusa, no centro de Los Angeles. Esse local se tornou o epicentro do avivamento.

Características marcantes

Cultos espontâneos e fervorosos, muitas vezes sem ordem pré-definida.

Diversidade étnica e social: negros, brancos, latinos, asiáticos, ricos e pobres adoravam juntos — algo radical para os padrões da época.

Ênfase nas manifestações espirituais, como línguas, curas, visões e profecias.

Igualdade de gênero e raça no ministério, com mulheres e homens de diversas origens pregando e liderando.

Impacto

O avivamento da Rua Azusa marcou o nascimento e expansão global do pentecostalismo, hoje uma das maiores forças do cristianismo mundial. Missionários saíram de Azusa para várias partes do mundo, levando a mensagem pentecostal. Movimentos como as Assembleias de Deus e Igreja do Evangelho Quadrangular têm raízes nesse avivamento.

Tensão e Interpretação entre Reformistas e Pentecostalistas

Evangelhos e Atos

João Batista profetiza: “Ele vos batizará com o Espírito Santo e com fogo” (Mateus 3:11).

Em Atos 2, no Pentecostes, os discípulos falam em línguas e recebem poder (Atos 1:8; 2:4).

Outros episódios: Atos 10 (Casa de Cornélio) e Atos 19 (Éfeso).

Cartas Paulinas

Paulo não relaciona diretamente o “batismo com o Espírito” ao falar em línguas. Em 1 Coríntios 12:13 ele diz: “Pois em um só Espírito todos nós fomos batizados em um corpo”.

A glossolalia aparece como um dom entre outros, mas não como evidência obrigatória (1 Coríntios 12:30).

Tensão

Pentecostais veem o batismo com o Espírito como uma segunda experiência após a conversão, evidenciada por línguas. Reformados geralmente interpretam que o batismo com o Espírito ocorre na conversão e que línguas não são obrigatórias ou cessaram com os apóstolos.

Reformadores e o Batismo com o Espírito Santo

Martinho Lutero, João Calvino e outros reformadores não falavam em línguas nem davam ênfase a experiências carismáticas.

Cessacionismo: Doutrina comum entre reformados que diz que os dons sobrenaturais (línguas, profecias, curas) cessaram com a era apostólica.

Continuação (posição pentecostal): Os dons continuam hoje.

The Agama Lizard live in small social groups consisting of a dominant male and several subordinate males and females.

The agama is a genus of lizards that lives throughout sub-Saharan Africa. There are more than 40 recognized species within this genus, the common agama or red-headed agama lizard will be the main focus unless otherwise mentioned. There are plenty of interesting facts to learn about the identification, habitat, reproduction, and behavioral adaptations of the African Agama lizard. Many people enjoy keeping them as exotic pets. Because of their relatively docile nature, they can get used to people handling them with enough time.

3 Agama Lizard Facts! -The large front teeth and powerful jaws are adaptations to help them eat large, hard prey. -Males initiate courtship by bobbing their heads up and down. This has given it the alternative name of koggelmander, or “little mocking man,” in the South African Afrikaans language. -The agama’s colors will suddenly become brighter when it’s alarmed or agitated in some manner.

Let's start with some important foundational thinking - based on natural law. Money should be separate from the State - if not history shows that governments and human greed will always take over and manipulate the system in their favour and the expense of their populations. For extensive references, read The Sovereign Individual and The Creature from Jeckyll Island.

• The Separation of State and Money is the most important thing you can listen to this week. Thanks to Allen Farrington - his paper is here for those who prefer to read. Wake up, folks!

• The American Forefathers knew this when the wrote the American Constitution. Thomas Jefferson said: “If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency first by inflation then by deflation the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered... I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.” Mark Moss explains it well here. Charlie Robinsons take here.

The situation in Canada explifies the issues

Governments have have long used "international economic sanctions" against other nations to enforce their positions. Now in Canada, and soon in your country too, they are applying such sanctions their own citizens - disconnecting them from the financial system and removing their ability to use their own life savings as they wish. Canadians spoke with their money - in one week they raised more money in support of the truckers for peaceful protest than were raised in support of all Canadian political parties in the election of last year - only to have it confiscated and blocked by those politicians.

• CPL. Daniel Bulford (Justin Trudeau's body guard) is particularly clear and eloquent - https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=3123688351279364

• Nick & Greg (two Canadians in Canada) explain the situation to Peter McCormack - https://youtu.be/QBWYp-cBr4o

EU Citizens should be aware and lobby their MPs

To remain silent is wrong - to deny the rights of others to discuss and challenge (and even to punish or coerce them) is a crime in support of the biger crime. Each of us has a choice - choose wisely.

Could you have known about this?

"The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it."

"Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself."

A closing thought...

Look closely at the cover of the Economist magazine released in December 2018 - The World in 2019 - see how many of those things have already come true.

In case this is too difficult for you - some things to note: Four horsemen of the apacalypse, Statue of Liberty wearing a facemask, Vetruvian Man with QR code (Vaccine passport), DNA mark on his arm, wearing virtual reality glasses... The animal bottom right is a Pangolin. Scales of Justice are well tipped/skewed, facial recognition, electric cars, Putin's pipelines, China and Brexit feature highly along with the lieing media (Pinnochio) and #metoo. I smell Predictive Programming.

Unfortunately, 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”

Bitcoin has always been a narrative revolution disguised as code. White paper, cypherpunk lore, pizza‑day legends - every block is a paragraph in the world’s most relentless epic. But code alone rarely converts the skeptic; it’s the camp‑fire myth that slips past the prefrontal cortex and shakes hands with the limbic system. People don’t adopt protocols first - they fall in love with protagonists.

Early adopters heard the white‑paper hymn, but most folks need characters first: a pizza‑day dreamer; a mother in a small country, crushed by the cost of remittance; a Warsaw street vendor swapping złoty for sats. When their arcs land, the brain releases a neurochemical OP_RETURN which says, “I belong in this plot.” That’s the sly roundabout orange pill: conviction smuggled inside catharsis.

That’s why, from 22–25 May in Warsaw’s Kinoteka, the Bitcoin Film Fest is loading its reels with rebellion. Each documentary, drama, and animated rabbit‑hole is a stealth wallet, zipping conviction straight into the feels of anyone still clasped within the cold claw of fiat. You come for the plot, you leave checking block heights.

Here's the clip of the sermon from the episode:

By now, most of you have probably heard Bitcoin talked about in vague and mysterious terms in the news or online. What IS it? What does it actually DO? And HOW is it actually worth anything at all?

These are big questions that involve some big answers that (for the sake of this article) I am not entirely prepared to give you, and that you are likely (in all honesty) not entirely prepared to hear. Cryptographic Hash functions, verifiable ledger transactions, store of value, proof of work, custodial vs non-custodial wallets.

What are all these things? Why do they matter, and what is it that you really NEED to understand about bitcoin?

Here we go...

In my opinion, what you need to know to feel good about bitcoin is about as much as you NEED to know about how your car starts up in the morning when you need it to, or about what's happening inside your iPhone when you tap your fingers to that illustrious screen. At its base function, assuming the machine is well built and reliable, all you need is the key, or your passcode, and a basic level of intelligence for it to do what you need it to. Not many of us really obsess over what's actually happening behind the scenes of these daily and habitual items, and not many of us should really have to, either. As long as we can trust and verify the producers of the products we are agreeing to purchase, we should let them worry about the mechanics so that we can go about our lives as intended, and with the added benefits of these items.

And so it goes for bitcoin. “But what IS it?!” is the most common way I hear people discredit the mysterious “coin” that doesn't actually exist, and that doesn't actually give you anything to hold on to. It's true, the answer is not straightforward and not exactly simple, and it involves a fair amount of nerd-speak, but not more than I would argue than is necessary for even a basic explanation of the way our current market economics, Federal Reserve, and monetary policy are functioning behind the simple exchange of cash money, not to mention credit card transactions.

How quickly I would lose you, if I have not already, to the bore of technical details and regurgitated economic theories, and so I am going to try something new, and get you to understand not what Bitcoin is, but why Bitcoin is, and what that means for the security, wealth and financial independence of our collective future.

At its very very core, the fundamental concept to understand is this one of FULL OWNERSHIP. When you own your bitcoin, and we'll go a bit deeper into that in a minute, what you own is a 12 word phrase that when entered into the network to make a transaction is the only way for the network to identify who you are. No one else has that same private key, and no one else has any way to obtain it, unless they pry it from your very hands, or manage to extract it from you by way of trickery.

We've all heard the stories of the “lost bitcoin wallet”. That person who lost their passphrase claiming to hold what could now be millions of dollars worth of bitcoin. These stories are often posited as negative features of the bitcoin network, but there are words we use for these types of people in general; irresponsible, nearsighted and dumb.

The beauty, and the apparent pariah of bitcoin is this very feature:

SELF OWNERSHIP.

When done properly, you and only you can interact or interfere with your bitcoin identity. The network is verified 1000 times over every second by a network of contributors, and as long as you hold those keys, then your bitcoin balance on the ledger is always and forever linked to you. When you decide to send that bitcoin to someone else on the network; that transaction is listed, your private key transcribed (by an enormously complicated and involved amount of computational work) onto a unified public ledger that is then verified and trusted (again by a brilliantly devised and incredibly complex computer function) to be posted as the de-facto “true” balance sheet.

Unlike any bank or credit card company of today, where a portion of every transaction, and every nefariously collected fee is sanctioned off to some private network of profiteers, the bitcoin networks fees are directly paid to the “workers” (aka miners) who run the computers (and thus pay for the electricity) to keep the network functioning. These small independent to giant mining farms all over the globe are thus given an incentive to keep up the network. Even small-time nodes can generate income for their local operations. Well, generate bitcoin, and you can decide to call that income or not!

-—

What's happening today with bitcoin is what I fear will be the death of such a beautifully crafted and functioning system. Today you can buy bitcoin easily in many mobile apps (CashApp, Coinbase, Robinhood, Venmo, and more) and watch its value go up and down in excitement or dismay. What we don't realize when we buy bitcoin this way, is that we are treating it much like we treat the rest of the money in our bank. At some basic level, the bank holding your assets has legal and/or physical control of it while in their hands. Sure, they keep your name on it, but they can block your access to accounts at their discretion. They can charge unnecessary and unexplained fees, and they can use it to invest however they like while it's theirs.

The bottom line is; If you don't own your key, you don't own your bitcoin. When you hear of exchanges like FTX going down, which claimed to be holding your crypto while they flagrantly spent it, and millions of people lost their money. Well, those irresponsible (and nearsighted, and dumb) people entrusted their assets to an irresponsible, (and corrupt, and nearsighted, and incredibly dumb) unverifiable company.

What I am saying is, it is wrong to adopt Bitcoin without adopting the core principles behind it. Self-responsibility, full ownership, trust, verification, and value based on effort (aka proof-of-work) are essential features of bitcoin's operation. We have not even mentioned (nor will we in great detail) the mathematically verifiable finite amount of bitcoin that will exist over the next century. It is sure fact. It will become scarce with time, and its value will subsequently increase. Can we be so certain of any other markets you can think of?

Everything about the bitcoin network is transparent. The original white-paper is easily accessible. The 21 million coin limit, the self-supported and self sustained network principles, all of it. The entire verified ledger is a roughly 10 Gigabyte txt file of encrypted transactions, and its duplicated and replicated all over the world by a genius system of nodes. Nodes make a profit for providing the computer power, and there is no central command, CEO or shareholders outside the system able to profit or interfere.

Unless...and this is the clincher, unless big companies start stacking up their own coiffeurs of bitcoin with their enormous buying power and then offering it out at a premium (with added transaction fees) through their own proprietary banks and apps. Unless these whales – as we like to call them – have enough weight in the market to create their own influence, and they are able to buy it up before the plebs – as we also like to call them – are able to secure their hands on it without these 3rd parties.

So anyone who has jumped on the bitcoin bandwagon, and helped make Coinbase a billion dollar public company, and let them hold your assets behind an email login and an account with them, let me tell you something, “You've been duped!”. The only way to own bitcoin is to store your bitcoin in a wallet that you own the keys to. I'm not going to teach you any more about that here, but by now you should probably get the point.

Bitcoin represents a society that trusts its individuals to have the responsibility to handle themselves accordingly. The value you hold, and the value you contribute to your community, represents your worth, and is to be valued accordingly. Everything has a value. YOU have a value, and it is much greater than any amount of money can give you, but it is also something that can be scary to hold and to be responsible for all on your own. In a society where we offload every bit of our liability and personal holdings to insurance companies and banks, bitcoin represents a shift to a world without unnecessary and energy sucking intermediaries. It also offers a world we are not used to, in which we have to educate ourselves and trust ourselves enough not be fools and to take the proper precautions to secure our assets long-term for the future. Bitcoin will grow, and it will continue to be valued. That much should be apparent at this point.

So...do what you will. I'm not here to preach, I'm just here to inform. However, I do advise against being irresponsible, nearsighted, and dumb.

Just...don't believe in systems you can't verify. Don't trust money that you don't own, and don't put your future in anyone else's hands.

If you understand that fundamental shift, you understand enough about bitcoin to put your keys in the ignition and get started. You'll just have to take it upon yourself to figure out how.

Hodl On.

Im Rahmen unseres Workshops möchte ich auf zwei inspirierende Beiträge von Frau Schütze hinweisen und dich einladen, deren Ansätze für die religionsbezogene Bildung weiterzudenken. Die beiden Ausgangspunkte sind:

1. Werkstattbericht: KI-Bilder im Ethik/Philosophie-Unterricht\ In diesem Beitrag beschreibt Frau Schütze, wie sie mithilfe verschiedener KI-Modelle (Midjourney, DALL·E, Ideogram.ai) Bilder generiert, um Schülerinnen und Schüler zum Nachdenken über philosophische und ethische Theorien anzuregen. So wurden zum Beispiel KI-Bilder erstellt, die eine Glückstheorie illustrieren, oder symbolische Darstellungen zum ontologischen und kosmologischen Gottesbeweis (etwa das „größte denkbare Wesen“ bzw. den Laplaceschen Dämon). Dabei erfahren die Lernenden nicht nur einen visuellen Zugang zu abstrakten Gedankenexperimenten, sondern reflektieren zugleich die Grenzen und Tücken von KI-gestützter Bildbeschreibung und -verarbeitung.\ https://frauschuetze.de/?p=7946

2. Rollenkarten Moralphilosophie / angewandte Ethik\ Hier stellt Frau Schütze Rollenkarten vor, die sie für den Oberstufenunterricht entwickelt hat, um Diskussionen zur angewandten Ethik zu strukturieren. Die Karten enthalten Porträts wichtiger Moralphilosophinnen (z. B. Diogenes, Spaemann) und weitere Rollen wie Hinterfragerinnen oder Zweifler*innen, die sich schnell in Fallanalysen, Fishbowl-Formate oder Philosophencafés einbringen lassen. Die Porträts wurden ebenfalls mit Midjourney erstellt, wobei die Prompts konkret beschreiben, wie die Figuren dargestellt werden sollen (z. B. „xxx as a character in a fantasy story, portrait“).\ https://frauschuetze.de/?p=7640

Übertragung auf die religionsbezogene Bildung

Für religionsbezogene Bildungsszenarien eröffnen sich hier viele spannende Möglichkeiten. Im Folgenden findest du ein paar Ideenimpulse, wie du KI-Bilder und Rollenkarten gezielt einsetzen kannst, um religiöse Fragen, Traditionen und Identitäten in den Mittelpunkt zu rücken:

1. KI-Bilder zur Visualisierung religiöser Konzepte

2. Symbolik und Ikonographie erschließen\ Nutze KI-Modelle, um die Symbolwelten verschiedener Religionen (z. B. Christentum, Islam, Buddhismus, Hinduismus) visuell zu erkunden. Überlege: Wie lässt sich das Kreuz in unterschiedlichen Stilrichtungen (klassisch, modern, abstrakt) darstellen? Welche Bildwelten entstehen, wenn du nach einer fusionierten Ikonographie fragst, die christliche, buddhistische und indigene Symbole kombiniert? Durch den kreativen Prozess mit KI lernst du, welche Metaphern und Traditionen hinter religiösen Zeichen stehen und wie sie – bewusst oder unbewusst – von Algorithmen interpretiert werden. Dabei kannst du auch die Grenzen von KI thematisieren: Welche Vorurteile oder Fehldeutungen schleichen sich in die Bildgenerierung ein, wenn religiöse Themen verarbeitet werden?

3. Gedankenexperimente zu Gott und Transzendenz\ Analog zu den KI-Bildern für Gottesbeweise könntest du Aufgaben stellen wie:

   1. „Erstelle ein KI-Bild, das die Idee von Theodizee visuell darstellt.“

   2. „Lass die KI eine Szene generieren, in der gläubige und atheistische Perspektiven im Dialog stehen.“\ Anschließend diskutierst du mit der Gruppe, inwiefern die Bilder die jeweiligen Konzepte treffend abbilden oder eher stereotyp und eindimensional bleiben. Auf diese Weise vermittelst du nicht nur Content-Wissen, sondern entwickel auch die Medienkompetenz, indem du Fragen nach Intention, Deutungshoheit und algorithmischer Verzerrung aufwirfst.

4. Rollenkarten für religiöse Perspektiven und Diskussionsformate

5. Personen aus religiösen Traditionen als Rollen\ Statt ausschließlich Moralphilosophinnen zu berücksichtigen, kannst du Rollenkarten mit Porträts von Religionsstifterinnen (z. B. Jesus von Nazareth, Maria, Mohammed, Buddha, Krishna), Reformern (Martin Luther, Savonarola) oder zeitgenössischen Theolog*innen (z. B. Dorothee Sölle) gestalten. Die KI-gestützten Bilder können dabei in unterschiedlichen künstlerischen Stilrichtungen entstehen – von historischer Malerei bis hin zu zeitgenössischer Street-Art-Adaption. Jede Rolle enthält einen kurzen Steckbrief mit zentralen Glaubensvorstellungen, biografischen Eckpunkten und einem charakteristischen Argument oder Zitat. So kannst du die Lernenden in Rollendebatten schicken, etwa:

   • „Wie würde Luther heute auf die Klimakrise blicken?“

   • „Welche theologische Argumentation könnte Dorothee Sölle zum Thema Gewaltlosigkeit einbringen?“

6. Szenarien für kontroverse Debatten

   1. Religiöse Vielfalt versus Säkularismus\ Verteilt Karten, in denen Rollen wie „konservativer Christ“, „liberaler Muslim“, „selbstbewusste/r Konfessionslose/r“, „Theologieprofessor/in“ oder „politische/r Aktivist/in“ eingenommen werden. Die KI-Porträts unterstützen die Visualisierung, verleihen den Rollen ein Gesicht und erleichtern das Einfühlen in andere Perspektiven.

7. Interaktive Formate im Religionsunterricht

8. Glaubenscafé (analog zum Philosophencafé)\ In Kleingruppen diskutiert ihr verschiedene Glaubenspositionen. KI-Bilder dienen als Ausgangspunkt: Ein Bild, das etwa die Drei-Tage-Phase von Tod und Auferstehung Jesu künstlerisch darstellt, oder ein generiertes Motiv zu einem hinduistischen Fest (z. B. Holi), wird an die Wand projiziert. Anschließend reflektiert ihr gemeinsam: Welche Emotionen, Symbole, Bedeutungen nehmt ihr wahr? Danach schlüpft ihr in Rollenkarten (z. B. theologische/r Fachreferent/in, Religionskritiker/in, Gemeindemitglied) und erarbeitet Positionen, die ihr in einem moderierten Glaubenscafé präsentiert.

9. Fishbowl-Diskussionen\ Nutzt Rollenkarten zu religionsspezifischen Rollen (z. B. Rabbiner/in, Pfarrerin, Atheist/in, Kleriker/in einer traditionellen Religion, spirituelle/r Influencer/in) für eine Fishbowl-Diskussion zum Thema „Sinnsuche in der Postmoderne“. Die KI-Bilder dienen zu Beginn als visuelle Reize: „Welche Elemente im Bild sprechen für Spiritualität, welche eher für Skepsis?“ So wird die Distanz zwischen digitaler Darstellung und gelebter religiöser Erfahrung erlebbar.

10. Methodische Hinweise und Reflexion

11. Prompt-Kompetenz schulen\ Wie schon im Ethikunterricht festgestellt, erfordert das präzise Beschreiben von Bildwünschen viel Übung. Die Lernenden lernen, welche Schlüsselbegriffe notwendig sind und wie kulturelle Vorannahmen in Prompts stecken bleiben. Im religionspädagogischen Kontext könnt ihr dies gezielt thematisieren: Wie formuliert man z. B. den Prompt „Stelle eine friedvolle interreligiöse Konferenz zwischen Christentum, Islam und Judentum dar“ so, dass keine Stereotype reproduziert werden?

12. Ethik des Bilderzeugens\ Diskutiert gemeinsam, inwiefern KI-Bilder beim Umgang mit heiklen religiösen Themen (z. B. Darstellungen des Propheten Mohammed im Islam) kulturelle oder religiöse Grenzen überschreiten können. Legt zusammen ethische Leitlinien fest, bevor ihr KI zur Bildproduktion nutzt: Welche religiösen Bilder sind "sakrosankt", welche dürfen manipuliert werden und was bedeutet das für Religionsfreiheit und Respekt?

13. Reflexion über Urheberrecht und OER\ Wie Frau Schütze in den Rollenkarten-Anleitungen betont, sind ihre Materialien unter CC-BY-Lizenz verfügbar. Erörtert, was es bedeutet, religiöse Bild- und Textmaterialien unter Open-Content-Lizenzen zu verwenden und welche Implikationen das für Schule, Gemeinde und Zivilgesellschaft hat. Das sensibilisiert für Fragen von Teilhabe und Gemeineigentum im digitalen Raum.

---

Einladung zum Weiterdenken

Ich lade dich herzlich ein, die vorgestellten Methoden und Materialien in eigenen Projekten auszuprobieren und weiterzuentwickeln. Diskutiere in Kleingruppen oder in einer offenen Runde:

• Welche religiösen Themen lassen sich besonders gut mit KI-Bildern visualisieren?\ Beispiele: Zehn Gebote, Fastenrituale, Schöpfungsmythen, Visionen von Heiligen oder Heiligenschauen. Welche Prompts würdest du verwenden, um diese Szenen zu erzeugen?

• Wie könnten Rollenkarten zu spezifischen religiösen Traditionen aussehen?\ Entwickle gemeinsam mit anderen kurze Steckbriefe und Bildprompts für Rollen wie „Sufi-Derwisch“, „Gottesleugner/in der Aufklärung“, „Ökumenische/r Pastor/in“, „Religionspädagog*in“, „Katholischer Laienbruder“ oder „Jüdische Rabbinerin“. Achte dabei auf unterschiedliche religiöse Sichtweisen und Geschlechterperspektiven.

• Welche Herausforderungen ergeben sich beim Einsatz von KI-Bildern im Religionsunterricht?\ Erörtert mögliche Missverständnisse, kulturelle Fehlinterpretationen oder ethische Konflikte (z. B. pietätslose Darstellungen von Figuren, die in bestimmten Glaubensgemeinschaften als heilig gelten). Entwickelt gemeinsam Kriterien oder einen Leitfaden, um solche Risiken zu minimieren.

• Wie lassen sich interreligiöse Dialoge durch digitale Methoden fördern?\ Gebt Impulse, wie man mit KI-Bildern und Rollenkarten einen „virtuellen Tempelraum“ gestalten kann, in dem Symbole unterschiedlicher Religionen nebeneinanderstehen und zu Dialog anregen. Welche Fragen stellen sich dabei hinsichtlich Toleranz, Respekt und theologischer Pluralität?

Zusammenfassung und Ausblick

Die beiden Beiträge von Frau Schütze bieten hervorragende Grundlagen, um im religionsbezogenen Unterricht visuelle und interaktive Zugänge zu schaffen. Durch KI-Bilder gewinnen die Teilnehmenden neue Zugänge zu Symbolik, Theodizee und Gottesvorstellungen, während Rollenkarten Dialogkompetenz und Empathie für unterschiedliche religiöse Perspektiven stärken. Diese Ideenimpulse sollen dich ermutigen, die Methoden selbst zu erproben und weiterzuentwickeln. Im digitalen Zeitalter können wir so das gemeinsame Lernen und interkulturelle Verständnis gerade im sensiblen Feld der Religionsbildung bereichern.

Ich freue mich auf deine kreativen Umsetzungen und den Austausch über Erfahrungen, Herausforderungen und Fortschritte in diesem spannenden Feld!Antworte gerne auf diesen Beitrag und kommentiere mit deinen Gedanken und Assoziationen oder poste selbst etwas als Impuls, das andere anregt und weiterverwendet werden darf mit dem Hashtag #relilab.\ \ Template: Avery Re https://opengameart.org/content/trading-card-template unter der Lizenz CC-by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.de / Einige Texte und Bezeichnungen von Frank Schlegel https://digitaldurstig.de/rollenkarten/ unter der Lizenz CC-by-SA 4.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.de\ Lizenz: cc-by-sa 4.0 / frauschuetze.de / Juli 2023

For about three years, we had a bedtime routine that worked very well and a kid that slept clear through the night in her own room.

For the past two years, bedtime has been a struggle. We made various adjustments, but they were never more than short-term bandages. Nighttime almost always turned into a battle of wills.

So, we gave up. No more bedtime. We go to bed when we're tired, or when the kid asks us to read to her. She usually wants to sleep in our room, which we only let her do if she's being quiet and trying to sleep, otherwise it's off to her own room. Being loud and wild in our room late into the night had been our breaking point.

The results aren't ideal, but the struggles are much reduced and she's sleeping in her room more often, because it's where she can stay awake if she wants.

What are some standard parenting practices that you've just abandoned entirely?

A origem do Dia das Mães

Anna Jarvis (1864-1948 Virgínia Ocidental), uma ativista americana, fundou o Dia das Mães nos Estados Unidos há mais de um século, escolhendo o segundo domingo de maio para tal celebração; mesma data que é comemorada até hoje em muitos países do mundo.

Ela nasceu durante a Guerra Civil, e viu sua mãe, Ann Reeves Jarvis, trabalhar na organização de Clubes de Trabalho Materno para cuidar de soldados de ambos os lados da guerra, a fim de diminuir as diferenças entre as mães do Norte e do Sul.

Em 1910, o Dia das Mães tornou-se feriado estadual na Virgínia Ocidental (EUA) e, em 1914, foi declarado feriado nacional pelo presidente Woodrow Wilson.

Segundo historiadores, Anna imaginava o feriado como um retorno ao lar, um dia para homenagear a sua mãe, a única mulher que dedicou sua vida à Anna. Ela escolheu o segundo domingo de maio porque seria sempre próximo de 9 de maio, o dia da morte de sua mãe, que faleceu em 1905.

---

E por que Anna Jarvis passou a odiar a data?

Acontece que a data começou a ter um apelo comercial, e Anna nunca quis que o dia se tornasse comercial, mas sim, só uma celebração às figuras maternas. Então ela acabou se opondo à comercialização e popularização do feriado.

Com o feriado, as indústrias floral, de cartões comemorativos e de doces começaram a ficar gananciosas para vender os seus produtos e subiram os preços nesta data, a fim de lucrarem mais.

Para Anna, "estavam comercializando o seu Dia das Mães". Para um jornal da época, ela comentou: "O que vocês farão para afugentar charlatões, bandidos, piratas, mafiosos, sequestradores e outros cupins que, com sua ganância, minam um dos movimentos e celebrações mais nobres e verdadeiros?".

Ela se irritava com qualquer organização que usasse seu dia para qualquer coisa que não fosse seu propósito original e sentimental, dizem historiadores. Em 1920, ela já incentivava as pessoas a não comprarem flores, por exemplo.

Além disso, instituições de caridade usavam o feriado para arrecadar fundos com a intenção de ajudar mães pobres; porém, como contam, elas não estavam usando o dinheiro para mães pobres, como alegavam.

Anna reivindicou os direitos autorais da frase "Segundo domingo de maio, Dia das Mães" ("Second Sunday in May, Mother's Day") e passou a vida lutando contra a comercialização da data. Um dos seus últimos atos foi ir de porta em porta na Filadélfia (EUA) pedindo assinaturas para apoiar a revogação do Dia das Mães.

Anna Jarvis nunca se casou e nem teve filhos, dedicando sua vida principalmente à causa do Dia das Mães. Ela faleceu em West Chester, na Pensilvânia (EUA), no dia 24 de novembro de 1948, aos 84 anos, devido a uma insuficiência cardíaca.

A Realidade por Trás dos Números

Padrão de Desagregação Familiar

• Países como Brasil (~55%) e Venezuela (~65%) apresentam não apenas altos índices de mães solo, mas também contextos de violência descontrolada.
• A desagregação da família nuclear tradicional não é causa única, mas é fator agravante quando associada à instabilidade cultural, abandono paterno e permissividade institucional.
• Homens ausentes e baixa exigência de responsabilidade paterna geram ciclos de pobreza, violência e ressentimento intergeracional.

Cultura da Irresponsabilidade

• Em muitos contextos, a paternidade é tratada como um ato opcional. A ausência de consequências legais, sociais e morais para o abandono paterno normaliza o ciclo de mães solteiras.
• Políticas públicas mal calibradas muitas vezes premiam o fracasso familiar com benefícios, sem exigir contrapartidas.

Inversão de Valores

• A valorização de comportamentos hedonistas, imediatistas e instáveis, promovidos culturalmente, mina qualquer tentativa de reconstrução familiar sólida.
• Em muitos casos, a maternidade é enfrentada sem planejamento ou estrutura mínima, gerando famílias instáveis e frágeis, mais propensas à violência e vulnerabilidade social.

---

Recomendações Realistas e Não Assistencialistas

Reforço da Responsabilidade Paterna

• Criar mecanismos legais mais rigorosos e efetivos de responsabilização civil e criminal para pais ausentes.
• Estimular socialmente o resgate do papel paterno, valorizando não apenas a presença física, mas o compromisso emocional e financeiro.

Incentivo à Formação Familiar Estável

• Reformar o currículo escolar para incluir educação sobre vínculos afetivos, responsabilidade conjugal e parentalidade realista.
• Desestimular a glamorização de estruturas familiares instáveis, combatendo a ideia de que qualquer forma familiar é igualmente funcional sob qualquer condição.

Cultura da Autossuficiência e Planejamento

• Substituir políticas puramente assistenciais por programas de incentivo ao planejamento familiar e responsabilidade pessoal, com foco na autonomia financeira e educacional antes da maternidade/paternidade.
• Campanhas públicas de conscientização sobre os impactos reais da desestrutura familiar na violência social e no desenvolvimento infantil.

---

O aumento da violência em países com alta proporção de mães solteiras não é uma coincidência, mas uma consequência de fatores culturais e sociais profundamente negligenciados.

Reverter esse cenário não exige mais Estado, mas sim mais responsabilidade individual, mais cobrança social e menos permissividade institucional. Qualquer solução duradoura passa por restaurar o valor da família como núcleo formador de caráter e estabilidade, não apenas como estatística para justificar políticas públicas.

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.

If you haven't noticed already, #Nostr is a little different from what most people are used to. One of the ways this is felt most acutely is with media hosting. Users are accustomed to uploading their images and videos directly through the app they are posting from. Many Nostr apps provide that same experience nowadays, but it wasn't always the case.

Just a couple years ago, users had to find somewhere to host their media separately, and then copy and paste the URL into their note whenever they wanted to share their cat pictures. One of the first, if not the first, media hosting services specifically intended for Nostr was nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7, which will be the service we are reviewing today.

Like our previous review of Amber, Nostr.Build is a service for users to pair with other Nostr apps. You won't generally use nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 by itself. Rather, you'll use it to host that incredible shot you want to post to #Olas, or to host screenshots for your long-form tutorial about setting up Nostr Wallet Connect that you'll be posting from #Habla.news, or for hosting a hilarious video of your cat falling asleep to nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u's voice and taking a tumble off of his favorite perch that you want to share on #Damus. However, there are some features within Nostr.Build that you may want to check out quite apart from using it with any other Nostr app.

Overall Impression

Score: 4.8 / 5

I have been impressed by Nostr.Build for some time now, but they have pulled out all the stops in their latest update, increasing their maximum file size for free accounts to 100MB, integrating the #Blossom protocol, adding the ability to share directly to Nostr from within your dashboard, and more integrations with other Nostr apps than ever before. Nostr.Build is simply a pleasure to use, whether through their web interface, or through another Nostr app that integrates with them.

With the ability to easily organize your media, view statistics, browse the media gallery of free uploads, metadata removal for increased privacy, and AI image generation, Nostr.Build is not simply a media hosting service, it is a full-fledged media management platform. Its robust features keep it well ahead of other Nostr-focused media hosting options available, and a particularly strong option for those using Blossom and wanting redundancy and reliable uptime for their media.

As much as I enjoy using the web interface, though, where Nostr.Build really shines is their integrations with other Nostr apps. These integrations allow users to have the same experience they are accustomed to from centralized social platforms of uploading their media from within the same app they are using to share it. No copy/pasting a URL from one app to another. In fact, many users may not realize they have been using Nostr.Build in their client of choice, simply because it is the default option for media hosting for many Nostr apps.

This has the added benefit to client developers that they can provide this experience to their users without having to run media hosting infrastructure on top of trying to build their app. The separation of relays, clients, and media hosting between different entities, while keeping a similar experience to centralized platforms where a single company controls all three, is critical to Nostr adoption.

Features

Nostr.Build has a plethora of features beyond simply hosting your media. Let's take a look!

AI Image Generation

Do you need a quick title image for a long-form article? How about inspiration for a logo or art piece? Nostr.Build's AI Studio has you covered.

They have provided a few different models based on the plan you purchase, beginning with the Professional plan, which includes SDXL-Lightning and Stable Diffusion 1. Upgrading to the Creator plan will give you access to all Pro Stable Diffusion models and unlimited use of the Flux.1 model, which is the same core model used for Grok2 images.

I personally have a Professional account, so I haven't had a chance to try out Flux.1, but I have used Stable Diffusion extensively for creating character art for #NostrHeroes characters, such as these:

Nothing too spectacular when compared with some of the newer models out there, and there is no image-to-image support (yet), but more than adequate for casual image generation needs. Moreover, it is far more than what one would expect from a simple media-hosting service.

Admittedly, I am also no expert at coaxing AI models to produce anything remarkable so your results may vary. Either way, image generation is a welcome tool to have available without needing to go to an outside service unless you require something very specific.

Upload Limits

The maximum file size limits on Nostr.Build have been getting progressively larger, even for their free service. As I recall, it was a mere 21MB limit per file just a few months ago, which is fine for image files, but is quickly exceeded with videos. Then they increased their limits to 50MB per file, and as of recent updates it has been increased once more to a whopping 100MB per file... for free! This is more than adequate for most uses.

However, free users' images, GIFs, and videos are automatically viewable via Nostr.Build's free media gallery. This is something to particularly bear in mind when uploading images you intend to share via direct message. Though your DMs are encrypted, the images uploaded to Nostr.Build are not, and if you don't have a paid account, they will be viewable to the all paid users in the free media gallery. If you want to upload images that will not be viewable unless you actively share them, you must have a paid account.

Paid accounts have no file size limit, but they do have a total storage limit. I could not find anything about total storage limits for free accounts, but Professional tier will give you 25GB, Creator 50GB, and Advanced 250GB. Uploads to paid accounts are not visible in the free media gallery, so only those you give the link to will be able to access your content.

Media Types

Many file types are supported by Nostr.Built, even for free users, including:

• Image: .jpg, .png, .gif
• Video: .mov, mp4
• Audio: mp3, .wav

Upgrading to the Professional plan will add .pdf and .svg to the list of permitted file types, and upgrading to Creator or above will add .zip files, as well.

I believe other common file types are also supported, but these are the only ones specifically mentioned on the site.

Free Media Gallery

The free media gallery is an interesting little feature that Nostr.Build has available to paid accounts. Free users can get a preview, such as the one below, but only paid users can browse through the millions of uploads made by free users.

Apart from being amusing to browse through the things people have been uploading, I am unsure of how useful this particular feature is. No indication is given as to who uploaded the media, and it is limited compared to media feeds in other Nostr apps in two important ways. First, it only shows media uploaded to Nostr.Build, while other media-focused Nostr apps, such as Slidestr, Lumina, or even Primal will show media posted by all Nostr users. Second, Nostr.Build's gallery doesn't show all uploads to Nostr.Build, but only uploads from those without a paid account, further limiting the scope of whose uploads are seen.

Paid users have the advantage of being able to upload media that is not viewable to anyone unless they intentionally share the link somewhere. Free users, on the other hand, must be aware that their uploads are viewable by any paid users, whether they shared the link anywhere or not.

One incident I had while testing out another app required me to reach out to Nostr.Build support to request deletion of an image. It had some of my personal information in it, and had been uploaded to Nostr.Build and sent to me via DM. The sender assumed that since it was being sent via DM, no one else would be able to see the image, but because he was not a paid user of Nostr.Build, the image was included in the Free Media Gallery for any paid user to see. Not ideal, but the folks at Nostr.Build were quick to get it deleted for me.

In short, I have mixed feelings about this particular feature.

Blossom

Blossom is a media storage and retrieval protocol built for Nostr, but usable with any application that needs to access media via the web, and Nostr.Build has recently added support for Blossom uploads via their Blossom server: blossom.band

I will likely be adding a Nostrversity article going over Blossom in detail in the near future, but here's the basics of what it makes possible:

First, easy integration for media uploading from your favorite Nostr apps. Amethyst, Coracle, Primal and others have added Blossom upload support, so you just have to hop into your settings and add Nostr.Build's Blossom server address to start using it as your media host. No need to go to a separate app to upload your media and copy/paste the URL into your Nostr note!

Second, your media in Blossom is content addressable. This means it is named based on a hash of its actual data. Because of this, you can verify that the media has not been altered or replaced by your media host. If the hash doesn't match the data, it won't be loaded by the Nostr client, so you never have to worry about the image in your note being replaced by a different image by your media host.

Finally, because your media is addressable by its content, you can save the same media to multiple hosts, and if one of them goes down, Nostr apps can fetch your media from other hosts, just like they can do with your notes by fetching them from different relays if one relay you write to is down. This makes your images and videos much harder to censor, since you would need to be banned by multiple Blossom servers for your media to no longer be accessible.

If you would like to upload media to more than one Blossom server at the same time, your options are currently to use Primal and ensure that your settings have "Enable media mirrors" toggled on, or to use Bouquet. Hopefully we will see this option added to more Nostr apps in the near future.

Metadata Stripping

For files uploaded via Nostr.Build's dashboard, location metadata is removed upon upload. This is to protect user privacy, since this data could be used to reveal your home address if it is left attached to images posted publicly on Nostr.

When uploading via Blossom, media containing location metadata will be rejected. The user will be required to remove the metadata before they can upload the media.

No KYC and No Ads Policy

The only form of identification needed to use Nostr.Build is your Nostr identity. Every upload is tied to your npub, but no name, date of birth, email, or other identifying information is required. This is made possible because Nostr.Build only accepts Bitcoin as payment for their accounts, and no KYC is required to make Bitcoin transactions via Lightning.

Additionally, Nostr.Build is philosophically opposed to targeted advertising, so they have a policy that they will never use ads on their hosting service.

Client Integrations

Even before Blossom, Nostr.Build had many Nostr clients that used it as the default media hosting service, allowing users to upload directly within the app. This has only expanded now that Nostr.Build has added Blossom.

A very non-exhaustive list of clients that integrate with Nostr.Build is listed on their site, and includes Damus, Amethyst, Nostrudel, Snort, Iris, Coracle, Flycat, and Yakihonne. Additional apps that support Nostr.Build via Blossom include Primal and Flotilla. Some of these integrations support both Blossom and NIP-96 options for uploading media, such as Amethyst, while others only support one or the other.

I would not be surprised to see more and more Nostr apps move to integrating Blossom and phasing out NIP-96 support. Either way, though, Nostr.Build currently supports both, and is therefore an excellent hosting option if you want to use it with a wide range of Nostr apps.

Media Statistics

For those with a paid account, Nostr.Build provides information about how often each of your uploads has been requested and viewed within a given time period.

This can be valuable information for content creators, so they can determine what content is resonating with their audience, and what times of day their posts get the most views.

This information can currently be viewed for a maximum period of three months prior to the current date, and as short a period as just the past hour.

Can My Grandma Use It?

Score: 4.7 / 5

Nostr.Build is incredibly easy to use if you have a paid account, or if you are a free user uploading to Nostr.Build through a client that integrates with them by default. Previous frictions encountered by free users trying to upload large files should now be few and far between, thanks to the generous 100MB size limit.

Where things may be a bit more involved is when users are trying to set up media hosting on Nostr apps that don't use Nostr.Build by default. Exactly where in the settings the user must go to set this up, and whether to use the Blossom or NIP-96 address may not be immediately apparent, and requires an understanding of the difference that the user may not possess. This is not the fault of Nostr.Built, though, and I have not taken it into consideration in the scoring. Each individual Nostr app's settings should be as easy to understand as possible.

Another point of friction may come from free users who want to upload directly through the Nostr.Build site, instead of via another Nostr app. This used to be possible without logging in, but in an effort to ensure the service was used for Nostr, and not for general media hosting, Nostr.Build added the requirement to log in.

Thankfully, there are plenty of login options, including npub and password, browser extension (NIP-07), and even via a one-time-code sent to you via Nostr DM. However, if you don't have a paid account already, logging in will prompt you to upgrade. It seems that uploading directly via the website has been removed for free users entirely. You can only upload via another Nostr app if you don't have a paid account. This may lead to confusion for users who don't want to pay for an account, since it isn't made apparent anywhere that uploading through the website isn't an option for them.

Additionally, I would like to see the addresses for the Blossom server and for NIP-96 uploads (unless they are being phased out) added to the main page somewhere. Even selecting the "Blossom" page from the site navigation doesn't make clear what needs to be done to utilize the service. Something as simple as, "To use Nostr.Build with your favorite Blossom compatible Nostr apps, just add https://blossom.band as your media host in the app settings," would be enough to point users in the right direction.

For those who do have paid accounts, the dashboard is easy to navigate and organize your media.

By default, all uploads are added to the Main Folder. Users can leave them there, or they can easily create new folders and drag and drop media to organize it.

Every image has a copy/paste clipboard icon for ready access to copy the media URL for inclusion into a Nostr note.

Additionally, Nostr.Build allows users to share their uploaded media to Nostr directly from the dashboard. Bear in mind, though, this is published to a set of popular relays, without taking into account the user's preferred write relays.

The section just below the user's profile information gives an at-a-glance view of important information, such as how much of the user's allotted storage has been used, how many AI Studio credits are available, how many days are left before their paid account must be renewed, and how many files from three major categories — GIFs, images, and videos — have been uploaded.

Uploading directly to the dashboard is also incredibly easy. You can simply drag and drop files into the upload pane, or browse for them. If you have a URL for the media you want to upload, you can even paste it to import from another website or Blossom server.

Anything I could think of that I might want to do in the interface was intuitive to find, well labeled, or had common and easily identified icons.

How do UI look?

Score: 4.7 / 5

I would describe Nostr.Build's UI as clean and utilitarian, which is what one would expect from a media hosting service. Nothing too flashy. Just what you need and nothing you don't.

We certainly like our purple color-schemes on Nostr, and Nostr.Build leans into that with white text on shades of purple backgrounds, along with occasional color-popping accents. If a Nostr client had made the same color choices, I might be a bit more critical, but it works in an app that users won't be spending a ton of time in, except while managing their media, or using the AI Studio to generate some images.

UI elements such as buttons, active folder indicators, and icons all maintain an attractive, and simple design, with rounded corners wherever appropriate. Nothing looks too busy or overbearing, and the spacing between image previews in the folder view is just right.

Font remains consistent throughout the interface, with no jarring changes, and bold text, in white or another contrasting color, is used appropriately to draw attention, while subdued text is rendered in a light purple to blend more with the background, while remaining readable.

As such, the UI is attractive, without being particularly breathtaking. Nothing to complain about, but also nothing to write home about.

Log In Options

Score: 4.8 / 5

As mentioned previously, Nostr.Build provides three ways a user can log in.

The first should be very familiar for any Nostr user who frequents web clients, and that is by use of a browser extension (NIP-07), such as Alby, Nos2x, or Gooti. Note, this will also work if you are on Android and using KeyChat's browser, which has a NIP-07 signer built in.

Next is the legacy login method for Nostr.Build that they have used since the service first launched, which is via npub and password. This should serve to remind you that even though Nostr.Build supports Nostr login, and can post your images to Nostr for you, it's really just a centralized media hosting service. Just like you wouldn't use only one Nostr relay, you should not use just one media host. Mirror your media to other Blossom servers.

Most intriguing, and one I had not seen used before, is the option to use your npub and have a one-time-code sent to you via Nostr DM. I tested this method out and it worked flawlessly. It is unfortunately using the old NIP-04 DM spec, though, so any clients that have deprecated these DMs will not work for receiving the code. We're in a strange place with Nostr DMs currently, with some clients deprecating NIP-04 DMs in favor of NIP-17, others that still only support NIP-04, and a few that support both. If you don't see the DM in your client of choice, hop over to Primal and check your DMs there in the "other" tab.

Since Nostr.Build is supporting Nostr login, I would like to see them add remote signer (NIP-46) login alongside browser extension login to round out the options expected from a Nostr web app.

Feature Set

Score: 4.8 / 5

The features provided by Nostr.Build all work as expected and provide a lot of value to the user. With only one exception, all of the features make sense for a media hosting and management service to provide, and they are adding more features all the time.

Users not only get a reliable hosting service, with excellent uptime for their media, but they get integrations with most Nostr clients I can think of, Blossom protocol support, media organization and statistics, posting media to Nostr from within the dashboard, metadata stripping for enhanced privacy, a wide range of supported file types, and an AI image generation studio! What's more, there are additional features already on the roadmap, including traditional and AI image editing, additional plan options, expandable storage, and video transcoding for optimized playback. Nostr.Build is just getting started and they already offer more than most media hosting services out there, intended for Nostr or otherwise.

The one feature I am still not sold on is the "Free Media Gallery." The name is misleading. The gallery itself is not free. You must have a paid account to access more than a preview of it. Rather, it displays media uploaded by free users, regardless of whether they uploaded that media to send via DM, or uploaded it but decided not to share it out, or uploaded it to post it only within a private group on Flotilla, or uploaded it and only sent the note with the image link to a private relay.

Moreover, if I want to see media that has been shared on Nostr, there are plenty of ways I can do so that I can be confident only include media users intended to be publicly viewable. This feature from Nostr.Build, if it is kept at all, should have some way of ensuring the gallery only includes images that were shared on public relays.

Pricing

Score: 5 / 5

The pricing structure for Nostr.Build is exceptionally reasonable when compared with other services.

The Professional plan, which is their lowest paid tier, is just 69,000 sats a year. At current price, that translates to around $70 for the year, and Nostr.Build has been known to lower their pricing as Bitcoin goes up. Users can also get a 10% or 20% discount if they buy 2 or 3 years at a time, compensating for the fact that Bitcoin tends to go up year over year.

For that cost, users get 25GB of storage, unlimited file size for uploads within that storage cap, and access to all of Nostr.Build's features mentioned in this review, with the exception of their highest end AI models and storage of certain file types.

If I were to set up my own VPS to host a Blossom server with comparable storage, I would be paying around $14 a month before the cost of the domain, and it would be anything but plug and play. Even then, all I would have is storage. I would be missing out on all of the other features Nostr.Build has out of the box for less than half the price.

The Creator plan is close to double the cost at 120,000 sats, or about $120, a year. However, you aren't just getting double the storage space at 50GB; you are also getting double the AI credits, access to the higher tier AI models, S3 backup for all of your media, and your own Creator page you can share out with your media available for others to browse in one location.

The Advanced plan doesn't add a lot of extra features for more than double the price of the Creator plan, but it MASSIVELY increases your storage limit by 5x to a total of 250GB. Comparable storage space on a VPS to run your own Blossom server would be about $100 a month and Nostr.Build is offering it for about $250 (250,000 sats) for a whole year! If you really need to host that much media, it's hard to beat this price. The plan also comes with a Nostr.Build NIP-05 address, if you need one.

Now, the argument can be made, "But it's priced in sats, and that means in four years I will have spent many times that dollar amount on their service, possibly making it more expensive than other services priced in fiat." While that is true, it also doesn't take opportunity cost into account. Every dollar you spend on something other than Bitcoin is a missed opportunity to have bought Bitcoin with it. There's not really any difference between spending $70 in fiat to buy a hosting plan vs spending 69,000 sats, because you could have used that same $70 to buy Bitcoin instead, so you are losing out on that increase in purchasing power either way.

Not to mention, you can just buy the sats with your fiat and send it to Nostr.Build, so you would effectively be buying your plan with fiat, and they would be receiving sats.

I think Satellite.earth is still technically less expensive at just $0.05 per GB per month, which comes to $15 a year for the same 25GB of Nostr.Build's professional plan. However, all you get is media hosting. You miss out on all of the other features provided by Nostr.Build. And if you are uploading files of 100MB or less... Well, free with Nostr.Build is still cheaper than $0.5 per GB.

Wrap Up

All of the above comes together to make Nostr.Build a versatile and full-featured media hosting and management service at an affordable price point for their paid accounts, but with no need to pay at all if you just want a place to upload photos, GIFs, memes, and even some videos, so long as the file size stays under 100MB. Whether you want to use Nostr.Build as your primary media host, or as just one redundancy in your Blossom set up, they have you covered and I encourage you to check them out!

For the next review, I would like to go with another client, this time for the web, and the two options I am debating between are Coracle.social and Jumble.social. Let me know in the comments which you would like to see!

@ 5d4b6c8d:8a1c1ee3

After @denlillaapan's post yesterday, I want to light a little fire under the stackers to step up their game.

So, I'm offering prizes for the top stackers in June (as judged by SN's "value" metric). At the end of the month, I'll award prizes as follows:

1st Place - 10k sats 2nd Place - 9k sats 3rd Place - 8k sats 4th Place - 7k sats 5th Place - 6k sats 6th Place - 5k sats 7th Place - 4k sats 8th Place - 3k sats 9th Place - 2k sats 10th Place - 1k sats

Winnings will be zapped to a post or comment of your choice.

Zap well!

@ d61f3bc5:0da6ef4a

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

The Problem

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

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

Awesome Blossom

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

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

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

How Blossom Works

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

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

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

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

Let's use this image as an example:

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

blossom.primal.net/c1aa63f983a44185d039092912bfb7f33adcf63ed3cae371ebe6905da5f688d0.jpg

All Blossom URLs follow this format:

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

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

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

Blossom Mirroring

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

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

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

Using Blossom Within Primal

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

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

## Conclusion

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

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

Thanks for reading; and enjoy! 🌸

ความสุขทางโลก ลัทธิสุขนิยมยกย่อง แต่ลัทธิทรมานตนประณาม หากไม่มองว่ากามสุขเป็นพรจากพระผู้เป็นเจ้า คนก็มักมองว่ากามสุขเป็นเครื่องลวงล่อของซาตาน ในเรื่องนี้พระพุทธศาสนาเลือกเดินสายกลาง โดยสอนว่าเราควรทำความเข้าใจกามสุขให้แจ่มแจ้ง ทั้งในแง่เสน่ห์เย้ายวน ข้อจำกัดและข้อบกพร่องทั้งหลาย

เพื่อให้เข้าใจกามสุขอย่างแจ่มแจ้ง เราอาจตั้งคำถามดังนี้: กามสุขสนองตอบความต้องการทางจิตใจแบบใดได้บ้าง และไม่อาจตอบสนองความต้องการแบบใดได้ เพราะเหตุใด

ความต้องการในส่วนที่กามสุขไม่อาจตอบสนองได้ เราควรปฏิบัติอย่างไร

เราหลงเพลิดเพลินและยึดติดในกามสุขมากเพียงใด และกามสุขมีอิทธิพลเหนือจิตใจเราเพียงใด

เราเคยทำหรือพูดสิ่งที่ไม่ถูกต้องเนื่องด้วยปรารถนาในกามสุขหรือไม่

เราเคยเบียดเบียนผู้อื่นเนื่องด้วยปรารถนาในกามสุขหรือไม่

บ่อยครั้งเพียงใดที่สุขทางโลกสร้างความผิดหวังให้เรา

ความคาดหวังมีผลกระทบอย่างไรต่อความสุขทางโลก การทำอะไรซ้ำๆ และความเคยชินส่งผลต่อความสุขทางโลกอย่างไร

เรารู้สึกอย่างไร ยามไม่ได้กามสุขที่เราปรารถนา

กามสุขมีความเกี่ยวข้องกับความซึมเศร้าหรือไม่ กับความวิตกกังวลด้วยหรือไม่

เรารู้สึกอย่างไร เมื่อนึกถึงอนาคตว่า จะต้องพลัดพรากจากสุขทางโลก เนื่องด้วยความเจ็บไข้ ความแก่ และความตาย

การพลัดพรากจากความสุขทางโลกรู้สึกอย่างไรบ้าง

เราตั้งคำถามได้มากมาย และยังตั้งคำถามได้มากไปกว่านี้
หลักสำคัญ คือ ยิ่งเห็นชัดแจ้งในกามสุข เราจะยิ่งเกิดปัญญาและเข้าถึงความสงบมากขึ้น
