Accept Bitcoin in Three Minutes

Setting up Bitcoin payments has long been a challenge for merchants, requiring technical expertise, third-party processors, and lengthy verification procedures. Flash 2.0 eliminates these barriers, allowing any business to start accepting Bitcoin in just three minutes, with no technical set-up and full control over their funds.

The Bitcoin Payment Revolution

The world is witnessing a seismic shift in finance. Governments are backing Bitcoin funds, major companies are adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets, and political figures are embracing it as the future of money. Just as Stripe revolutionized internet payments, Flash is now doing the same for Bitcoin. Businesses that adapt today will gain a competitive edge in a rapidly evolving financial landscape.

With Bitcoin adoption accelerating, consumers are looking for places to spend it. Flash 2.0 ensures businesses of all sizes can seamlessly accept Bitcoin and position themselves at the forefront of this financial revolution.

All-in-One Monetization Platform

More than just a payment gateway, Flash 2.0 is a complete Bitcoin monetization suite, providing multiple ways for businesses to integrate Bitcoin into their operations. Merchants can accept payments online and in-store, content creators can monetize with donations and paywalls, and freelancers can send instant invoices via payment links.

For example, a jewelry designer selling products on WooCommerce can now integrate Flash for online payments, use Flash’s Point-of-Sale system at trade shows, enable Bitcoin donations for her digital artwork, and lock premium content behind Flash Paywalls. The possibilities are endless.

E-Commerce for Everyone

With built-in integrations for Shopify, WooCommerce, and soon Wix and OpenCart, Flash 2.0 enables Bitcoin payments on 95% of e-commerce stores worldwide. Businesses can now add Bitcoin as a payment option in just a few clicks—without needing developers or external payment processors.

And for those looking to start selling, Flash’s built-in e-commerce features allow users to create online stores, showcase products, and manage payments seamlessly.

No Middlemen, No Chargebacks, No Limits

Unlike traditional payment platforms, Flash does not hold or process funds. Businesses receive Bitcoin directly, instantly, and securely. There are no chargebacks, giving merchants full control over refunds and eliminating fraud. Flash also remains KYC-free, ensuring a seamless experience for businesses and customers alike.

A Completely Redesigned Experience

“The world is waking up to Bitcoin. Just like the internet revolutionized commerce, Bitcoin is reshaping finance. Businesses need solutions that are simple, efficient, and truly decentralized. Flash 2.0 is more than just a payment processor—it’s a gateway to the future of digital transactions, putting financial power back into the hands of businesses.”

— Pierre Corbin, CEO at Flash.

Flash 2.0 introduces a brand-new user interface, making it easier than ever to navigate, set up payments, and manage transactions. With an intuitive dashboard, streamlined checkout, and enhanced mobile compatibility, the platform is built for both new and experienced Bitcoin users.

"Modern science is based on this principle: give us one free miracle and then we'll explain the rest."

— Terrence McKenna

I always wondered why a pot of water boils on the stove. I mean I know it boils because I turned on the electricity, but why does the electricity cause it to boil? I know the electricity produces heat, and the heat is conducted through the stainless steel pot and into the water, but why does the heat transfer from stovetop to the water?

I know the heat from the stove via the pot speeds up the molecules in the water touching it and that they in turn speed up the molecules touching them and so on throughout the pot, but why do speedy molecules cause adjacent molecules to speed up?

I mean I know they do this, but why do they do this? Why couldn’t it be that sped-up molecules only interact with sufficient speedy molecules and ignore slower ones? Why do they interact with all the molecules, causing all of them to speed up? Or why don’t the speedy ones, instead of sharing their excited state, hoard it and take more energy from adjacent slower molecules, thereby making them colder, i.e., why doesn’t half the water boil twice as fast (on the left side of the pot) while the other half (right side) turns to ice?

The molecules tend to bounce around randomly, interacting as equal opportunists on the surrounding ones rather than distinguishing only certain ones with which to interact. Why do the laws of thermodynamics behave as such rather than some other way?

There may be yet deeper layers to this, explanations going down to the atomic and even quantum levels, but no matter how far you take them, you are always, in the end, left with: “Because those are the laws of physics”, i.e., “because that’s just how it is.”

. . .

The Terrence McKenna quote, recently cited by Joe Rogan on his podcast, refers to the Big Bang, the current explanation adopted by the scientifically literate as to the origins of the universe. You see there was this insanely dense, infinitesimally small micro dot that one day (before the dawn of time) exploded outward with unimaginable power that over billions of years created what we perceive as the known universe.

What happened prior? Can’t really say because time didn’t yet exist, and “prior” doesn’t make sense in that context. Why did it do this? We don’t know. How did it get there? Maybe a supermassive black hole from another universe got too dense and exploded out the other side? Highly speculative.

So why do people believe in the Big Bang? Because it comports with and explains certain observable phenomena and predicted other phenomena which were subsequently confirmed. But scratch a little deeper for an explanation as to what caused it, for what purpose did it occur or what preceded it, and you hit the same wall.

. . .

Even if we were to understand at a quantum level how and why the Big Bang happened and what preceded it, let’s assume it’s due to Factor X, something we eventually replicated with mini big-bangs and universe creations in our labs, we would still be tasked with understanding why Factor X exists in the universe. And if Factor X were explained by Process Y, we’d still be stuck needing an explanation for Process Y — ad infinitum.

Science can thus only push the wall back farther, but can never scale it. We can never arrive at an ultimate explanation, only partial ones. Its limitations are the limitations of thought itself, the impossibility of ever creating a map at a scale of one mile per mile.

Auch wer das Kriegsgeschehen bisher nicht im Detail verfolgte (das tat ich auch nicht), horcht nun auf: Einem Nicht-Atomstaat – der Ukraine – ist ein gleichzeitiger, koordinierter Schlag gegen vier teils tausende Kilometer voneinander entfernte russische Luftbasen gelungen. Eine nicht unerhebliche Zahl strategisch wichtiger Flugzeuge wurde zerstört. Ein Angriff im hintersten russischen Hinterland, selbst jenseits der Taurus-Reichweite, durchgeführt mit Billigdrohnen, wirft erhebliche Fragen über geheimdienstliches Versagen in Russland und eklatante Mängel in der Luftverteidigung auf.

Es gibt wohl Momente, in denen Geschichte nicht geschrieben, sondern geflogen wird. Unspektakulär, relativ still, surrend, von einem LKW aus abgefeuert, mit einem Stück Technik, das kaum mehr kostet als das Gerät, auf dem ich diesen Text schreibe.

---

Ein Angriff auf die Friedensverhandlungen

Die Ukraine hat sich erstmals weit über das Schlachtfeld hinaus erhoben – geografisch, technisch, symbolisch. Die Triade der atomwaffenfähigen Luftstreitkräfte Russlands – ein Heiligtum sowjetischer Machtprojektion – wurde durch das schwächste Glied in der Logikkette der Militärdoktrin beschädigt: den Überraschungseffekt. Drohnen, wie aus dem 3D-Drucker, haben eine strategische Achillesferse bloßgelegt. Nicht mit Hyperschall, sondern mit Hartplastik und GPS. Das erste Opfer dieses Angriffs dürften die Friedensverhandlungen in Istanbul sein.

Dass die Ukraine strategische Luftstützpunkte der russischen Atomwaffe angreift – koordiniert, tief im Landesinnern – wäre bereits für sich eine Zäsur. Doch dass dies unter stillschweigender Duldung oder gar Mithilfe westlicher Dienste wie der CIA erfolgt sein dürfte, während Trump zugleich als Friedenstaube auftritt, verschiebt das strategische Koordinatensystem. Die alten Verträge – START etc. – wirken wie rissige Abkommen aus der Steinzeit. Wenn die USA von der Operation wussten, darf sich Russland getäuscht fühlen. Washington kann nicht gleichzeitig Frieden mit Moskau betonen und eine Aktion dulden oder mittragen, die offensichtlich das Ziel hat, die russische Atommacht zu schwächen, woran die USA prinzipiell Interesse hätten. Falls Trump nichts davon wusste, muss man sich fragen: Regiert eigentlich er oder der „Swamp“, den er austrocknen wollte?

Egal wie man es wendet: Die Operation Spinnennetz war mehr als nur ein Angriff auf russische Flugzeuge auf russischem Gebiet. Militärisch gewinnt die Ukraine dadurch wenig, symbolisch und politisch aber viel, denn der Hauptgegner der Ukraine sind gerade nicht die hundert Millionen Dollar teuren Bomber der Russen, sondern die schleichende Kriegsunlust der Europäer – und ein Amerika, das sich mehr mit sich selbst beschäftigt als mit dem Fortgang eines Krieges, in dem es längst selbst Partei ist.

Damit sich die Reihen wieder schließen, muss der Feind sich zeigen – deutlich, fassbar, bedrohlich. Eine russische Reaktion, die auch europäische Hauptstädte erschüttert, wäre strategisch nützlich. Der Angriff war daher wohl weniger eine militärische Tat als eine psychologische Operation im Kampf um Wahrnehmung und Willen. Aus Sicht der Ukraine ist das verständlich, für sie geht es um ihre Existenz. Dafür wiederum braucht es eine erhöhte Alarmstufe.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JlQLewOAmA

Solidarität durch Eskalation?

Die kalkulierte Demütigung könnte einem Drehbuch folgen: Putin soll nun die Rolle des Eskalators übernehmen. Tut er es, war die Operation erfolgreich – denn Europas Kriegstüchtigkeit hängt nicht nur von Panzerzahlen ab, sondern von der Bereitschaft zur Konfrontation. Der Feind, den es braucht, muss sich jetzt allen ins Gedächtnis brennen.

So gesehen ist der eigentliche Coup nicht der Schaden in Djagilewo, Iwanowo oder Olenia – sondern das noch bevorstehende unsichtbare Nachspiel. Europa und die Welt betreten nun gänzlich neues Gelände, in welchem ein militärisch gedemütigtes Russland gleichzeitig Friedenswillen gegenüber Europa bekunden, rote Linien verteidigen und seine Integrität als Atom-Macht bewahren muss. Das Dilemma für Putin besteht nun darin, Stärke zu beweisen ohne sich noch mehr zum Feindbild des Aggressors machen zu lassen.

Fakt ist: Wir sind einem III. Weltkrieg gerade so nah wie seit der Kuba-Krise nicht mehr.

Und wer sich über ein russisches “Pearl Harbor” freut, sollte mal in ein Geschichtsbuch schauen, wie es am Ende für Japan ausging.

For too long, the autistic experience has been framed through a neurotypical lens, focusing on "differences" and "deficits." However, a profound perspective emerging from within the autistic community offers a radical reinterpretation: that autistic individuals are not inherently "broken" but rather possess a unique, often unyielding, perception of truth that challenges the very foundations of neurotypical society. From this viewpoint, autism is less about a disorder and more about a clarity of vision that apprehends the world as fundamentally "untrue" in many of its social constructs.

This perspective posits that what many autistic individuals perceive as "corrupted" or "untrue" in society isn't a subjective internal experience, but an objective reality of falsehoods, deception, and manipulation. The rejection of these elements is not a personal preference but a natural, logical response to what is genuinely illogical and dishonest.

The Core of the "Untrue" World:

• Honesty as a Default State: For many autistic people, directness and factual accuracy are paramount. Social conventions like "white lies," indirect communication, or performative politeness are not merely nuanced social skills; they are perceived as outright forms of deception and inauthenticity. The natural inclination is towards what is straightforward and verifiable.
• Logic Over Social Grace: An unwavering adherence to logic means that actions or systems that lack rational basis—such as engaging in flattery, suppressing truth for social harmony, or participating in inefficient rituals—are viewed as fundamentally nonsensical and therefore "untrue."
• Authenticity as a Non-Negotiable: The concept of "masking"—the exhausting act of suppressing one's natural autistic traits to conform—is seen as a deeply painful betrayal of self. A society that implicitly demands such a performance is deemed "corrupt" because it stifles genuine self-expression.
• Aversion to Hypocrisy: A strong sense of justice and an acute awareness of inconsistency mean that any disjuncture between stated values and actual behavior is immediately flagged as a profound untruth.

Social Groups: Formed Around a "Proudly Believed Lie"?

This critical autistic perspective extends to the very fabric of social organization. It suggests that many groups, whether religious, political, scientific, or economic, are not built on shared objective truths, but rather on "proudly believed lies." These shared narratives or belief systems, even if they contradict logic or verifiable facts, serve as the glue that binds the group, fostering identity, comfort, and a sense of belonging. The "pride" in these beliefs makes them resistant to critical examination, even when confronted with evidence.

For example: * In religion, this "lie" might be a dogma that provides solace but defies logic. * In politics, it could be an ideology based on selective truths that serve power. * In economics, it might be assumptions about markets or growth that are presented as infallible. * Even in science, while ideally pursuing truth, the social aspects of the scientific community might, at times, cling to paradigms that become "proudly believed lies," resisting new evidence.

The Disconnect: Why Autistics Are "Discredited"

If autistic individuals are part of the "5% who see it as it is"—those who perceive these societal untruths with clarity—then a natural tension arises with the "10% who want control." This controlling minority, it is argued, relies on these "untruths" to maintain power and influence over the "85% who are happy following."

From this viewpoint, the discrediting of autistic people—labeling their directness as "social deficits," their sensory experiences as "disorders," or their logical critiques as "inflexibility"—is not accidental. It is a strategic mechanism employed by the controlling "10%" to neutralize those who expose the underlying untruths, thereby safeguarding their constructed reality and maintaining influence.

In conclusion, the autistic perspective challenges us to re-evaluate the very nature of truth in our society. It suggests that what many perceive as social norms might, in fact, be a pervasive web of "untruths," and that the autistic individual's unique wiring allows for a crucial, unvarnished perception of this reality. It is a powerful call for authenticity and a profound questioning of how much of our world is built on what is genuinely true, versus what is merely believed.

The blockchain analytics firm claims to have identified the Bitcoin addresses held by the company led by Saylor.

Arkham Intelligence announced it had identified addresses linked to Strategy. According to Arkham’s statements, an additional 70,816 BTC connected to the company have been identified, with an estimated value of around $7.6 billion at current prices. This discovery would bring the total amount of Strategy’s identified holdings to $54.5 billion.

SAYLOR SAID HE WOULD NEVER REVEAL HIS ADDRESSES … SO WE DID

We have identified an additional 70,816 BTC belonging to Strategy, bringing our total identified MSTR BTC holdings to $54.5 Billion. We are the first to publicly identify these holdings.

This represents 87.5% of… pic.twitter.com/P3OVdVrhQL

— Arkham (@arkham) May 28, 2025

The analytics firm claims to have mapped 87.5% of Strategy’s total holdings. In a provocative post on X, Arkham wrote:

“Saylor said he would never reveal his addresses. So, we did it for him.
Previously, we tagged:
– 107,000 BTC sent to MSTR’s Fidelity deposits (Fidelity does not segregate custody, so these BTC do not appear in the MSTR entity)
– Over 327,000 BTC held in segregated custody, including Coinbase Prime, in our MSTR entity.”

Arkham’s revelations directly clash with Michael Saylor’s public statements on wallet security. During the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, the Strategy chairman explicitly warned against publishing corporate wallet addresses.

“No institutional or enterprise security analyst would ever think it’s a good idea to publish all the wallet addresses so you can be tracked back and forth,” Saylor said during the event.

The executive chairman of Strategy added:

“The current, conventional way to publish proof-of-reserves is an insecure proof of reserves… It’s not a good idea, it’s a bad idea.”

He compared publishing wallet addresses to “publishing the addresses, bank accounts, and phone numbers of your kids hoping it will protect them — when in fact it makes them more vulnerable.”

Finally, the executive chairman suggested using artificial intelligence to explore the security implications of such a practice, claiming that in-depth research could produce “50 pages” of potential security risks.

This elegant detail turns the bottle into a statement.

**Inside OpSec Academy’s One-on-One Approach to Digital Sovereignty ** As digital infrastructure becomes increasingly opaque and centralised, a growing number of individuals are seeking to understand—not just use—the tools that protect their privacy and autonomy online. While many solutions promise security at the click of a button, few teach the underlying principles or offer environments that prioritise verifiability and user control.

OpSec Academy’s new one-on-one training, "OpSec Intensive," takes a different approach. Delivered in person and fully offline, the full-day session provides practical, tool-based instruction inside a secure, USB-booted environment—designed from the ground up to leave no trace.

At the heart of the session is OpSecOS v1.2, a live operating system that routes all traffic through Tor, uses system non-persistence, and comes preconfigured with a suite of open-source tools for password management, communication, and private finance. The OS runs from a USB stick, allowing participants to explore and build their own private computing workflows without touching the host machine.

Learning in Context: Why One-on-One? While group training can provide a general introduction to privacy concepts, it often lacks depth and adaptability. OpSec Intensive is structured as a one-on-one session to allow real-time feedback, personal threat modeling, and tailored instruction based on the participant’s specific context and technical background.

This format also makes space for slow, deliberate learning—a rarity in cybersecurity training, where content is often condensed or overly abstract. In OpSec Intensive, participants move through each phase at their own pace, working directly with an experienced instructor to build confidence and competence.

Structure and Content of the Day The curriculum spans both foundational theory and hands-on practice, beginning with basic OpSec principles before moving into technical tool use.

Topics include: * Booting and verifying OpSecOS * Secure USB creation and system verification * Navigating a non-persistent, Tor-routed live environment * Password and credential management * Offline use of KeePassXC * Strategies for vault organisation and redundancy * Bitcoin wallet setup and recovery * Single-signature and multisignature wallet creation using Sparrow, Electrum, and Feather * Understanding xpubs, derivation paths, and recovery flow * Seed phrase security * Entropy generation and validation using offline tools like iancoleman.io * Best practices for cold storage and physical backups * Network privacy and decentralised communication * Using Mempool.space to visualise Bitcoin transaction data * Setting up Nostr clients (Snort, Iris) for decentralised messaging * Discussion of traffic fingerprinting and Tor considerations

A Shift Toward Practical Sovereignty The tools and workflows covered in OpSec Intensive are not theoretical. Participants leave the session with configured environments, tested backups, and an understanding of what each tool does—and what it doesn’t do.

This reflects a broader shift in how privacy-conscious individuals are approaching digital security. Rather than relying on packaged services or closed-source software, there’s growing interest in verifiable, modular tools that prioritise autonomy and resilience over ease-of-use.

In that context, OpSec Academy’s offering sits somewhere between a workshop and an apprenticeship: not a lecture, but a process of guided, hands-on learning designed for the long haul.

A lot of the focus over the last couple of months has been on the emergence of Strategy competitors in public markets looking to build sizable bitcoin treasuries and attract investors of all shapes and sizes to drive shareholder value. The other big topic in the bitcoin development world has been around OP_RETURN and the debate over whether or not the amount of data that can be shoved into a bitcoin transaction should be decided by the dominant implementation.

A topic that is just as, if not more, important that is not getting enough appreciation is the discussion around open source bitcoin developers and the lingering effects of the Biden administration's attack on Samourai Wallet and Tornado Cash. If you read our friend Matt Corallo's tweet above, you'll notice that the lingering effects are such that even though the Trump administration has made concerted efforts to reverse the effects of Operation Chokepoint 2.0 that were levied by the Biden administration, Elizabeth Warren, and her friends at the Treasury and SEC - it is imperative that we enshrine into law the rights of open source developers to build products and services that enable individuals to self-custody bitcoin and use it in a peer-to-peer fashion without the threat of getting thrown in jail cell.

As it stands today, the only assurances that we have are from an administration that is overtly in favor of the proliferation of bitcoin in the United States. There is nothing in place to stop the next administration or another down the line from reverting to Biden-era lawfare that puts thousands of bitcoin developers around the world at risk of being sent into a cage because the government doesn't like how some users leverage the code they write. To make sure that this isn't a problem down the line it is imperative that we pass the Blockchain Regulatory Clarity Act, which would not hold bitcoin developers liable for the ways in which end users leverage their tools.

Not only is this an act that would protect developers from pernicious government officials targeting them when end users use their technology in a way that doesn't make the government happy, it will also protect YOU, the end user, looking to transact in a peer-to-peer fashion and leverage all of the incredible properties of bitcoin the way they were meant to be. If the developers are not protected, they will not be able to build the technology that enables you to leverage bitcoin.

So do your part and go to saveourwallets.org. Reach out to your local representatives in Congress and Senators and make some noise. Let them know that this is something that you care deeply about and that they should not only pay attention to this bill but push it forward and enshrine it into law as quickly as possible.

There are currently many developers either behind bars or under house arrest for developing software that gives you the ability to use Bitcoin in a self-sovereign fashion and use it in a privacy-preserving way. Financial privacy isn't a crime. It is an inalienable human right that should be protected at all cost. The enshrinement of this inalienable right into law is way past due.

The blockchain analytics firm claims to have identified the Bitcoin addresses held by the company led by Saylor.

Arkham Intelligence announced it had identified addresses linked to Strategy. According to Arkham’s statements, an additional 70,816 BTC connected to the company have been identified, with an estimated value of around $7.6 billion at current prices. This discovery would bring the total amount of Strategy’s identified holdings to $54.5 billion.

SAYLOR SAID HE WOULD NEVER REVEAL HIS ADDRESSES … SO WE DID

We have identified an additional 70,816 BTC belonging to Strategy, bringing our total identified MSTR BTC holdings to $54.5 Billion. We are the first to publicly identify these holdings.

This represents 87.5% of… pic.twitter.com/P3OVdVrhQL

— Arkham (@arkham) May 28, 2025

The analytics firm claims to have mapped 87.5% of Strategy’s total holdings. In a provocative post on X, Arkham wrote:

“Saylor said he would never reveal his addresses. So, we did it for him.
Previously, we tagged:
– 107,000 BTC sent to MSTR’s Fidelity deposits (Fidelity does not segregate custody, so these BTC do not appear in the MSTR entity)
– Over 327,000 BTC held in segregated custody, including Coinbase Prime, in our MSTR entity.”

Arkham’s revelations directly clash with Michael Saylor’s public statements on wallet security. During the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, the Strategy chairman explicitly warned against publishing corporate wallet addresses.

“No institutional or enterprise security analyst would ever think it’s a good idea to publish all the wallet addresses so you can be tracked back and forth,” Saylor said during the event.

The executive chairman of Strategy added:

“The current, conventional way to publish proof-of-reserves is an insecure proof of reserves… It’s not a good idea, it’s a bad idea.”

He compared publishing wallet addresses to “publishing the addresses, bank accounts, and phone numbers of your kids hoping it will protect them — when in fact it makes them more vulnerable.”

Finally, the executive chairman suggested using artificial intelligence to explore the security implications of such a practice, claiming that in-depth research could produce “50 pages” of potential security risks.

Focusing on something for an hour a Day for the next 90 days will make you 90% better than others. I’ve been mulling over a simple truth lately, and I’m excited to share it with you. What if I told you that just one hour a day could change your game? Not ten, not five, but one little hour—sixty minutes to claim.

Stick with me here, because I’m about to break it down in a way that’ll make you cheer, with sentences that rhyme and a message that’s clear.

The Magic of One Hour Let’s start with the power that’s ours to devour. One hour a day, no more, no less, can lift you from the mundane mess. It’s not about grinding till you drop, or pushing so hard you flop. It’s a focused burst, a daily deed, planting a tiny, mighty seed. While others scroll or doze away, you’re stacking skills day by day. In 90 days, you’ll see it’s true— you’ll rise above the common crew.

Why 90 Days Works Ninety days, a quarter year, is time enough to shift your gear. It’s short enough to keep the fire, long enough to climb higher. Science says habits form in less, but mastery needs a steady press. An hour each day, consistent and neat, builds a rhythm you can’t beat. While others drift, you’ll stay on track, your progress piling, no looking back.

Be Better Than Most Here’s the kicker, the reason to boast: most folks don’t focus, they just coast. An hour of effort, pure and fine, puts you ahead of ninety-nine. Not because you’re some rare breed, but because you chose to plant that seed. The world’s distracted, screens aglow, but you’ll be steady, in the know. By day ninety, you’ll stand tall, 90% better than them all.

How to Make It Stick Pick your thing, don’t overthink—writing, coding, or a gym link. Set a time, make it rhyme with your daily chime. Shut the noise, close the door, focus deep, and explore. No multitasking, that’s a trap, just one task to bridge the gap. Track your days, feel the groove, watch your skills start to improve.

My Challenge to You So here’s my dare, from me to you: one hour a day, see it through. Ninety days, that’s all I ask, a simple, life-changing task. I’m doing it too, I’m in the race, chasing growth at my own pace. Let’s rise together, you and I, with just an hour, we’ll touch the sky. Start today, don’t delay— one hour a day is all you need, okay?

Let's dive into the most interesting forward-looking predictions from my recent conversations with industry experts.

Court Cases Against Bitcoin Developers Will Set Critical Precedent for the Industry's Future - Zack Shapiro

The outcome of the Samurai Wallet case will determine whether software developers can be held legally responsible for how users employ their non-custodial Bitcoin tools. Zack Shapiro laid out the stakes clearly: "The precedent that the Bank Secrecy Act can be applied to just software that allows you to move your own money on the Bitcoin blockchain is incredibly dangerous for developers, for node runners, for miners... Basically everyone in the Bitcoin space is at risk here."

According to Shapiro, the government's position in this case fundamentally misunderstands Bitcoin's architecture: "The government says that the defendants transmitted, Keone and Bill transmitted money that they knew belonged to criminals. That's not how a coin join works. The people who transmitted the money are the people that used Whirlpool and the people that used Ricochet. They signed their keys."

Should this prosecution succeed in establishing precedent, Shapiro predicts catastrophic consequences: "If that becomes the law of the land... then basically no actor in the Bitcoin economy is safe. The government's theory is that if you facilitate movement of money, you're a money transmitter, that would reach node runners, wallet developers, miners, lightning routing nodes... whatever tool stack you use, the people who built that are at risk."

With the case continuing despite FinCEN's own position that Samurai's software isn't money transmission, Shapiro believes the resolution will likely come through political rather than legal channels in the next 6-12 months.

Malpractice Around COVID mRNA Vaccines Will Be Exposed Within 2 Years - Dr. Jack Kruse

Dr. Jack Kruse predicts that major revelations about mRNA vaccine damage will force an eventual removal from the market, particularly from childhood vaccination schedules. During our conversation, Dr. Kruse shared alarming statistics: "25,000 kids a month are getting popped with this vaccine. Just so you know, since Trump has been elected, three million doses have been given to children."

According to Dr. Kruse, the scale of this problem dwarfs other health concerns: "The messenger job can drop you like Damar Hamlin, can end your career like JJ Watt, can end your career like all the footballers who've dropped dead on a soccer field." What makes this particularly concerning is the suppression of evidence about the damages, with Dr. Kruse noting that data from Japan showing changes in cancer distribution patterns was pulled, and VAERS data being dismissed despite showing alarming signals.

Dr. Kruse believes the coming years will see an unavoidable reckoning: "If by the end of this year, everybody in unison realized that MRA platform is bad news and it's gone. That to me is... I would tell you the biggest win is to get rid of the MRA platform even before any of the Bitcoin stuff." This suggests he expects significant momentum toward removing these vaccines from circulation by the end of 2025.

Global Economic Reordering Will Create Demand for Neutral Reserve Assets Like Bitcoin and Gold - Lyn Alden

The next two years will be critical in determining whether the United States maintains dollar dominance while navigating Triffin's dilemma. During our conversation, Lyn highlighted how the current administration is attempting to thread a needle between reshoring manufacturing while maintaining the dollar's reserve status - an almost impossible task on extremely fragile ground.

"When they talk about kind of a currency accord to weaken the dollar, they mentioned ideally they wanted to use multi-lateral approaches, but there are some unilateral approaches that they can do, which includes printing dollars to buy reserve assets," Lyn explained when discussing Treasury advisor Stephen Myron's position paper.

As the world potentially moves to a multipolar currency system, Lyn predicts significant demand increases for neutral reserve assets. "The two options on the table at this point are gold and Bitcoin," she noted, but pointed out that "our geopolitical adversaries have been stacking gold for a while and with a special intensity for the last three years." This creates a strategic opportunity for the US, as Bitcoin is "overwhelmingly held in the United States."

Lyn believes this transition is already underway, with the demand for neutral reserve assets like Bitcoin growing as countries seek alternatives to solely dollar-denominated reserves.

Iran's Shadow Mining Economy: 2 GW of Bitcoin Mined Underground While Legal Operations Struggle

Iran hosts a thriving underground Bitcoin mining industry that has emerged as a critical financial lifeline for citizens grappling with international sanctions and domestic economic controls. This shadow economy dwarfs the legal sector, with an estimated 2 gigawatts of illegal mining operations compared to just 5 megawatts of sanctioned activity.

According to ViraMiner CEO Masih Alavi, approximately 800,000 illegal miners have been discovered and fined by authorities. Yet operations continue in homes, office buildings, and even jewelry stores, where Iranians tap into unmetered electricity to mine Bitcoin, later converting it to stablecoins like USDT for savings and commerce.

While the government has approved permits for about 400 megawatts of legal mining capacity, punitive electricity tariffs and regulatory barriers have strangled legitimate operations. "I blamed the government for this situation," says Alavi. "They introduced flawed policies in the beginning, especially by setting the wrong electricity tariffs for the mining industry."

Despite using obsolete equipment like Antminer S9s and M3s, underground miners remain profitable when converting earnings to Iranian rials, creating an ecosystem that serves an estimated 18 million Iranian cryptocurrency holders.

Looking ahead, Alavi predicts further crackdowns as Iran enters peak electricity demand season, potentially reducing legal mining to zero while underground operations continue to evolve sophisticated detection evasion techniques.

Is Physical Punishment Truly an Effective Way to Discipline Children? Whether flogging or corporal punishment, is a proper way to correct a child often causes disagreement and debate. Over the centuries and around the world, educators, psychologists, parents and lawmakers have argued about it. A person’s behavior is corrected through flogging which is intended to be physically harsh. It is a big concern whether the process helps or leaves people with more damage over time.

Historical Perspective Floggings have been practiced for centuries to discipline people. Years back, many people used disciplinary spanking to encourage children to be disciplined and respectful. It used to be popularly believed that not using discipline made children spoiled. This saying suggested that flogging or some other physical punishment, was both necessary and proper to correct those who did wrong. Presently, things are not the same as they were before. In the last few decades, there has been a major change in what is generally accepted. Child development and psychology research indicate that flogging and different types of punishment might even cause harm.

Effects on Mind and Feelings Experts always see that flogging has negative impact on children’s mental health. Even though it may force someone to cooperate right away, it usually results in fear, resentment and aggression. Instead of showing right from wrong, it makes the child think that being disciplined is humiliating and causes pain. This situation might lower the child’s self-esteem, interfere with their emotional development and hurt the relationship between the child and the parent. Also, flogging does little to deal with the real reason why someone acts this way. It only worries about how to punish instead of trying to understand why the behavior occurred. A correct approach involves explaining the problem with what they did and supporting them to improve their decisions next time.

Having Questions About What Is Legal and Ethical Many countries now forbid flogging and other corporal punishments in both schools and homes. Children’s freedom from physical harm is becoming recognized more often in the law. UNCRC claims that children should be protected from all types of physical and mental abuse.

Ethical concerns are raised by the practice of using flogging to discipline people. It goes against the main principles of respect and dignity. Their growth as human beings calls for proper guidance, so kids can become mature and caring adults. When they are beaten, children often learn that violence is a way to find solutions.

What Can Be Used Instead of Flogging There are a lot of peaceful and successful steps you can take to guide how a child behaves. Settings ground rules, using praise for good behaviors, always keeping communication clear and giving the same consequences help. By giving praise for good behavior, you help the child want to act that way again. Giving a time-out or taking away things a person enjoys is a gentle way to deal with misbehavior.

In addition, these approaches help fix behavior problems and allow the child and caregiver to form trust and communicate openly. Through play, children learn to control themselves, feel empathy and solve problems which they need for their ongoing growth.

Conclusion In short, flogging does not make sense or work as a way to correct a child. Despite making the child obey at the moment, it often seriously harms a child’s emotional, psychological and moral growth in the future. Today’s parenting and educating focus on methods that fix misbehavior and boost a child’s confidence and sense of safety. Real correction teaches the child, helps them make right choices and encourages them to be responsible and caring. Flogging is not successful in reaching these goals. Rather, it causes a pattern of violence and fear that can cause serious damage in the long run. So, flogging should be understood not as a punishment, but as something harmful that society should forget about.

Lengyelország előrelépése az első atomerőmű építésében

Lengyelország állami nukleáris vállalata, a Polskie Elektrownie Jadrowe (PEJ) és egy amerikai konzorcium – élén a Westinghouse és a Bechtel cégekkel – mérnöki fejlesztési megállapodást kötött. Ez a szerződés kulcsfontosságú lépés az ország első atomerőművének megvalósítása felé, lehetővé téve a részletes mérnöki és helyszínspecifikus munkák megkezdését. A lengyel kormány ezt mérföldkőnek tekinti az energiaszuverenitás és a dekarbonizáció felé vezető úton.

Amerikai politika: lendület az új nukleáris technológiáknak

Az Egyesült Államok kormánya elnöki rendeletet adott ki, amely reformokat vezet be a nukleáris reaktorok tesztelésében az Energiaügyi Minisztériumnál. A cél az új generációs reaktorok – köztük mikroreaktorok és kis moduláris reaktorok (SMR-ek) – fejlesztésének és engedélyezésének felgyorsítása, valamint a környezetvédelmi vizsgálatok egyszerűsítése. A rendelet legalább három új reaktor kritikus üzembe helyezését célozza meg 2026 júliusáig, támogatva ezzel az ipari alkalmazások széles körét, például adatközpontokat vagy hidrogéntermelést. Az intézkedés célja, hogy az USA visszaszerezze vezető szerepét a nukleáris innovációban, és csökkentse a korábbi években felhalmozódott engedélyezési akadályokat.

Kis moduláris reaktorok (SMR) fejlesztése világszerte

Az SMR-szektorban világszerte jelentős előrelépések történtek: - Az amerikai Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) benyújtotta az első építési kérelmet egy GE Hitachi BWRX-300 SMR-re a Clinch River telephelyen. - Kanadában az Ontario Power Generation engedélyt kapott az első, négy tervezett SMR megépítésének megkezdésére a Darlington telephelyen. - Belgium és Brazília innovatív SMR-technológiákat vizsgál, köztük ólom-hűtésű reaktorokat és nemzetközi együttműködéseket. - Olyan technológiai óriások, mint a Google, az USA-ban korai fázisú fejlett nukleáris projektekbe fektetnek, ami a magánszektor növekvő érdeklődését mutatja.

Globális ipari és pénzügyi támogatás a nukleáris bővítéshez

Széles körű koalíció – köztük olyan nagyvállalatok, mint az Amazon, Google, Meta, Dow – és pénzügyi intézmények kötelezték el magukat amellett, hogy 2050-re megháromszorozzák a globális nukleáris kapacitást. Ez összhangban van az ENSZ klímacsúcsain tett vállalásokkal, ahol már 31 ország támogatja a nukleáris energia megháromszorozását a nettó zéró kibocsátási célok eléréséhez. Az amerikai kongresszus olyan törvényjavaslatokat készít elő, amelyek lehetővé tennék, hogy a multilaterális fejlesztési bankok – például a Világbank – is finanszírozhassanak nukleáris projekteket, megszüntetve ezzel a korábbi tiltásokat.

Közelgő nemzetközi nukleáris biztonsági gyakorlat

A Nemzetközi Atomenergia-ügynökség (IAEA) készül a ConvEx-3 vészhelyzeti gyakorlatára, amelyet 2025. június 24–25-én Romániában tartanak. A gyakorlat egy súlyos nukleáris vészhelyzetet szimulál a cernavodai atomerőműben, tesztelve a tagállamok és nemzetközi szervezetek felkészültségét és reagálóképességét. A ConvEx-3 a legmagasabb szintű IAEA vészhelyzeti gyakorlat, kulcsszerepet játszik a globális nukleáris biztonság és védelem erősítésében.

Politikai bizonytalanság Dél-Korea nukleáris terveiben

Dél-Korea 2025. június 3-i elnökválasztása hatással lehet az ország nukleáris reneszánszára. A vezető jelölt, Lee Jae-myung kijelentette, hogy „egyelőre” fenntartaná a nukleáris energiát, de hosszabb távon a megújulók felé mozdulna el. Ez bizonytalanságot okoz a koreai nukleáris ipar hazai és exportterveiben, ami kihatással lehet a globális ellátási láncokra és külföldi reaktorprojektekre is.

Iparági trendek és további fejlemények

• Japán új energiastratégiája maximalizálni kívánja a nukleáris energia részarányát, 2040-re mintegy 20%-ot célozva, különös hangsúlyt fektetve a következő generációs reaktorokra és a biztonság növelésére.
• Belgium kormánya és a francia Engie közműcég megállapodott a kulcsfontosságú reaktorok üzemidejének tízéves meghosszabbításáról, ami az európai nukleáris pálfordulás újabb jele.
• Az IAEA és a World Nuclear Association egyaránt növekvő nemzetközi érdeklődésről számol be az SMR-ek és fejlett reaktortechnológiák iránt, új projektek és partnerségek indulnak Ázsiában, Európában és Amerikában.

As some of you know, I lead a quarterly Bible Study through Faith Driven Investor

One of the members from the cohort that just ended forwarded me an email from the US Christian Chamber of Commerce

The summary is: Christians should intentionally be doing more business with Christians.

[Full email at the bottom of this Article]

---

I recanted to my FDI member about a book I read a few years ago, Thou Shall Prosper, by Rabbi Daniel Lapin.

In it he gave the statistics that a single dollar recirculates in the Jewish community 12 times, Muslims 8 times, and Christians only 3 or 4 times.

(I'm probably slightly off on recalling the stats)

But the point being that as a people group, Jews are 4x more wealthy than Christians because Christians value doing business with one another 4 times less than Jews...or said another way, the Jewish people value doing business with one another 4x more than Christians.

Reading the email I was sent, I was further reminded as business owners, leaders, and investors;

If we are truly going to steward that which God has entrusted to us, we should want to re-circulate those resources as many times as possible within the Christian community in order to have the greatest probability of return on image bearers.

What are your thoughts?

I Bought a House Through the Christian Chamber - What happened next surprised me

My husband and I just bought a house—but it wasn’t just a transaction. It was a transformation.

With our daughter’s high school graduation behind us, we felt ready to step into a long-held dream: moving to a beach town we’ve thought, talked, and prayed about for years. As part of turning our dream into a reality, we made a very intentional decision:

We would buy our home entirely through the Christian Chamber community.

We wanted to walk the talk—to model what Kingdom commerce really looks like. So we sought Christian-led businesses for every part of the process. What started as a symbolic gesture quickly became a profound experience with two life-changing revelations:

1) The Power of Prayer in Business

Yes, we prayed as a couple—but imagine your Realtor, lender, inspector, and insurance agent all praying with you, too.

We’re not talking about just being “nice people” or listening to worship in the office. We’re talking about Spirit-filled, Jesus-following believers who brought prayer into every decision.

· Our Realtor is also a church planter—her discernment helped us find the perfect house on day one.

· Our lender joined us in prayer—and worked miracles to make the deal smooth and abundantly possible.

· Our inspector's biggest red flag? A bird’s nest in a porch light. (Yes, really.)

· Our insurance agent handled everything—and in Florida, that’s no small feat.

I have bought and sold seven homes in my life, but this was the best experience by far. The layout, the location, the timing, the favor—it was all wrapped in prayer and covered in grace. It wasn’t just business. It was supernatural.

2) Kingdom ROI — A Multiplied Impact

By doing business with Christians, we didn’t just find great service. We created a multiplied Kingdom return.

We know where our vendors give. We know the churches they support, the ministries they fund, and the people they serve.

When they earned from our purchase, those dollars didn’t disappear—they were reinvested into Kingdom causes we could never reach on our own.

This is Kingdom ROI.

It’s a real-life example of the parable of the talents—we didn’t bury our resources. We multiplied them. When you spend money with aligned believers, your impact compounds.

The opposite is also true:

When we spend with businesses that oppose our values, we’re funding platforms that erode the very things we’re trying to protect—our families, our freedoms, and our faith.

We MUST STOP funding the enemy.

The Bigger Picture

Let’s be clear: Studies show that Christians make up 31% of the world’s population, but we control 55% of the world’s wealth—more than $107 trillion in personal assets.

And yet…we’re leaking that wealth into systems that are actively working against us.

Why? Because we do not have the infrastructure to keep it aligned.

Until now.

That’s what we’re building through the U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce: A national infrastructure that empowers Christians to redirect their dollars, align their values, and multiply their impact.

What If You Did the Same?

· Buy your next product or service from a Christian-led business.

· Hire your next contractor from your local Christian Chamber.

· Invest in a company with eternal impact.

· Launch a Christian Chamber in your region—we’ll help you.

· Join the U.S. Christian Chamber. This is your Chamber, for your nation.

· Meet us in Orlando for SWC 2026, the global gathering of Christian commerce.

Imagine the multiplying power if thousands of us made similar decisions—every day—across this nation.

We own the wealth. Now let’s build the infrastructure, create the ecosystem, and shift the world's wealth one transaction at a time.



This is our nation and we are One Nation Under God!

Marty's Bent

It's been a pretty historic week for the United States as it pertains to geopolitical relations in the Middle East. President Trump and many members of his administration, including AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, traveled across the Middle East making deals with countries like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Syria, and others. Many are speculating that Iran may be included in some behind the scenes deal as well. This trip to the Middle East makes sense considering the fact that China is also vying for favorable relationships with those countries. The Middle East is a power player in the world, and it seems pretty clear that Donald Trump is dead set on ensuring that they choose the United States over China as the world moves towards a more multi-polar reality.

Many are calling the events of this week the Riyadh Accords. There were many deals that were struck in relation to artificial intelligence, defense, energy and direct investments in the United States. A truly prolific power play and demonstration of deal-making ability of Donald Trump, if you ask me. Though I will admit some of the numbers that were thrown out by some of the countries were a bit egregious. We shall see how everything plays out in the coming years. It will be interesting to see how China reacts to this power move by the United States.

While all this was going on, there was something happening back in the United States that many people outside of fringe corners of FinTwit are not talking about, which is the fact that the 10-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury bond yields are back on the rise. Yesterday, they surpassed the levels of mid-April that caused a market panic and are hovering back around levels that have not been seen since right before Donald Trump's inauguration.

I imagine that there isn't as much of an uproar right now because I'm pretty confident the media freakouts we were experiencing in mid-April were driven by the fact that many large hedge funds found themselves off sides of large levered basis trades. I wouldn't be surprised if those funds have decreased their leverage in those trades and bond yields being back to mid-April levels is not affecting those funds as much as they were last month. But the point stands, the 10-year and 30-year yields are significantly elevated with the 30-year approaching 5%. Regardless of the deals that are currently being made in the Middle East, the Treasury has a big problem on its hands. It still has to roll over many trillions worth of debt over over the next few years and doing so at these rates is going to be massively detrimental to fiscal deficits over the next decade. The interest expense on the debt is set to explode in the coming years.

On that note, data from the first quarter of 2025 has been released by the government and despite all the posturing by the Trump administration around DOGE and how tariffs are going to be beneficial for the U.S. economy, deficits are continuing to explode while the interest expense on the debt has definitively surpassed our annual defense budget.

via Charlie Bilello

via Mohamed Al-Erian

To make matters worse, as things are deteriorating on the fiscal side of things, the U.S. consumer is getting crushed by credit. The 90-plus day delinquency rates for credit card and auto loans are screaming higher right now.

via TXMC

One has to wonder how long all this can continue without some sort of liquidity crunch. Even though equities markets have recovered from their post-Liberation Day month long bear market, I would not be surprised if what we're witnessing is a dead cat bounce that can only be continued if the money printers are turned back on. Something's got to give, both on the fiscal side and in the private markets where the Common Man is getting crushed because he's been forced to take on insane amounts of debt to stay afloat after years of elevated levels of inflation. Add on the fact that AI has reached a state of maturity that will enable companies to replace their current meat suit workers with an army of cheap, efficient and fast digital workers and it isn't hard to see that some sort of employment crisis could be on the horizon as well.

Now is not the time to get complacent. While I do believe that the deals that are currently being made in the Middle East are probably in the best interest of the United States as the world, again, moves toward a more multi-polar reality, we are facing problems that one cannot simply wish away. They will need to be confronted. And as we've seen throughout the 21st century, the problems are usually met head-on with a money printer.

I take no pleasure in saying this because it is a bit uncouth to be gleeful to benefit from the strife of others, but it is pretty clear to me that all signs are pointing to bitcoin benefiting massively from everything that is going on. The shift towards a more multi-polar world, the runaway debt situation here in the United States, the increasing deficits, the AI job replacements and the consumer credit crisis that is currently unfolding, All will need to be "solved" by turning on the money printers to levels they've never been pushed to before.

Weird times we're living in.

China's Manufacturing Dominance: Why It Matters for the U.S.

In my recent conversation with Lyn Alden, she highlighted how China has rapidly ascended the manufacturing value chain. As Lyn pointed out, China transformed from making "sneakers and plastic trinkets" to becoming the world's largest auto exporter in just four years. This dramatic shift represents more than economic success—it's a strategic power play. China now dominates solar panel production with greater market control than OPEC has over oil and maintains near-monopoly control of rare earth elements crucial for modern technology.

"China makes like 10 times more steel than the United States does... which is relevant in ship making. It's relevant in all sorts of stuff." - Lyn Alden

Perhaps most concerning, as Lyn emphasized, is China's financial leverage. They hold substantial U.S. assets that could be strategically sold to disrupt U.S. treasury market functioning. This combination of manufacturing dominance, resource control, and financial leverage gives China significant negotiating power in any trade disputes, making our attempts to reshoring manufacturing all the more challenging.

When the whales cry for help: crypto trader's $100M bet turns community funding experiment

A multimillionaire trader just placed a second $100 million Bitcoin bet days after being liquidated, but what's truly revolutionary isn't the size—it's how he's funding it. James Wynn has turned to the crypto community for donations, receiving stablecoins from 24 users to "fight the market-making cabal" he claims is targeting his positions. This unprecedented crowdfunded leverage experiment raises fascinating questions about market manipulation, community solidarity, and the blurring lines between individual and collective risk in crypto trading.

Is this the birth of community-backed whale trading? Or simply a desperate gambler's last stand? Either way, it reveals how blockchain transparency creates entirely new social dynamics around trading that would be impossible in traditional markets. What happens when your liquidation becomes everyone's battle?

Would you donate to protect a stranger's $100M position? The answer might reveal more about crypto's future than any price prediction.

Reitar Logtech Announces $1.5 Billion Bitcoin Acquisition Plan

Reitar Logtech Holdings Ltd., a Hong Kong-based firm operating in real estate and logistics technology, has officially announced plans to purchase up to $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin. The move was disclosed in a June 2 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). 

NEW: Hong Kong-based Reitar Logtech announces they will buy $1.5 billion #Bitcoin for their reserves — SEC filing pic.twitter.com/viC0kUycNo

— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) June 2, 2025

According to the filing, the strategic Bitcoin acquisition is intended to bolster Reitar’s treasury reserves while accelerating the company’s global expansion in logistics technology infrastructure. The announcement aligns Reitar Logtech with a growing number of international firms turning to Bitcoin as a reserve asset. 

By incorporating Bitcoin into its financial strategy, Reitar Logtech aims to grow its holdings beyond traditional fiat currencies and fixed-income products. By adopting a strategic BTC reserve, the company aims to benefit from Bitcoin’s liquidity, 24/7 markets, and hedge against long-term inflation and currency devaluation. 

The SEC filing describes the initiative as follows, “Reitar Logtech Holdings Ltd. Announces Up to US$1.5 Billion Strategic Bitcoin (BTC) Acquisition to Bolster Treasury Reserves and Accelerate Global Logistics Technology Expansion.” 

The filing was signed by Kin Chung Chan, Reitar Logtech’s Director, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer, who affirmed that the filing was submitted in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

While specific timing for the acquisition has not been disclosed, analysts believe such a large-scale buy could be done in phases to manage market impact and line up with internal capital strategy. It remains unclear if the purchase will be conducted via spot markets, custodians, or structured investment vehicles.

The adoption also brings to light a wider trend among corporations allocating Bitcoin to their balance sheets. Reitar joins companies such as Strategy, that have leveraged Bitcoin not only for financial positioning, but as a long-term asset.

Sberbank, Russia’s Biggest Bank, Launches Structured Bond Tied to Bitcoin 

Sberbank, the largest bank in Russia, has launched a new structured bond that ties investor returns to the performance of Bitcoin and the U.S. dollar-to-ruble exchange rate. This new financial product represents one of the first moves by a major Russian institution to offer Bitcoin-linked investments under recently updated national regulations.

BREAKING: Russia's largest bank Sberbank launches structured bonds linked to Bitcoin. pic.twitter.com/LtD26jPS0x

— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) June 2, 2025

The structured bond is initially available over the counter to a limited group of qualified investors. According to the announcement, it allows investors to earn based on two factors: the price performance of BTC in U.S. dollars and any strengthening of the dollar compared to the Russian ruble.

Unlike typical Bitcoin investments, this product does not require the use of a Bitcoin wallet or foreign platforms. “All transactions [are] processed in rubles within Russia’s legal and infrastructure systems,” Sberbank stated, highlighting compliance with domestic financial protocols.

In addition to the bond, Sberbank has announced plans to launch similar structured investment products with Bitcoin exposure on the Moscow Exchange. The bank also revealed it will introduce a Bitcoin futures product via its SberInvestments platform on June 4, aligning with the product’s debut on the Moscow Exchange.

These developments follow a recent policy change by the Bank of Russia, which now permits financial institutions to offer Bitcoin-linked instruments to qualified investors. This shift opens the door for Bitcoin within the country’s traditional financial markets.

While Russia has previously taken a cautious approach to digital assets, Sberbank’s launch of a Bitcoin-linked bond and upcoming futures product marks a new phase of adoption—one that blends Bitcoin exposure with existing financial infrastructure.

The bank’s structured bond may signal a growing interest in regulated access to Bitcoin, especially within large financial institutions.

Norwegian Block Exchange (NBX), a leading Nordic cryptocurrency exchange and digital asset platform, announced that it has added Bitcoin to its balance sheet, marking a national milestone as the first publicly listed company in Norway to hold Bitcoin as part of its treasury strategy.

The company has secured 6.0 Bitcoin and plans to increase its holdings to 10.0 within June. The assets, loaned from NBX’s largest shareholders, will be used as collateral to issue USDM, a MiCA-compliant stablecoin. NBX said it aims to generate yield through Bitcoin and the USDM ecosystems.

“NBX will not sell this Bitcoin or go short in any form,” the company said. “With reference to the latest POA notice with LDA capital, NBX will also use proceeds to buy additional Bitcoin.”

NBX is currently talking with HNIs, family offices, and others about raising more capital to buy additional Bitcoin. The company is also hosting a Bitcoin treasury event on June 11.

“Bitcoin is becoming an important part of the global financial infrastructure,” the company stated in the announcement. “The Bitcoin will increase operational efficiency, in addition to attracting capital that need exposure to Bitcoin yet only have a mandate to invest in Norwegian publicly listed companies.” 

The adoption of Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset has dramatically increased over the course of the last year, expanding globally. To date, there are 214 companies and other entities with Bitcoin in their balance sheets. 

Méliuz, Brazilian fintech company, also recently announced on May 15th, that it purchased an additional R$160.8 million (approx. $30.5 million) worth of Bitcoin, adding 274.5 BTC at an average price of $103,600 each, after becoming the first Bitcoin treasury company in Brazil earlier this year. Combined with its initial R$24 million investment two months ago, Méliuz now holds 320 BTC, making it the 42nd largest corporate holder of Bitcoin globally.

Méliuz Founder and Chairman Israel Salmen noted that the move attracted a new wave of crypto-focused investors. In his words, translated from Portuguese, “a lot of new people started buying the stock because of this strategy. We caught the attention of the crypto crowd, which is a much larger audience than stock market investors. There are around 20 million people investing in crypto today and only about 5 million in the stock market.”

The investment, approved by Méliuz’s board, is part of a new treasury management policy focused on long-term returns. The company also formed a Bitcoin Strategic Committee to explore expanding the allocation and potentially making Bitcoin a primary treasury asset.

Salmen told local media the move into bitcoin provides an “intelligent alternative” to holding cash reserves. “We see bitcoin as a long-term store of value,” he said. The company, which offers cashback and financial services to over 30 million users in Brazil, is aiming to revive investor interest after its market cap dropped from $6 billion in 2021 to $270 million.

“สุขเวทนา” ที่แท้ก็คือ “มายา”
เป็นเหมือนลูกคลื่นลูกหนึ่ง
ที่เกิดขึ้นเพราะน้ำถูกลมพัด
เดี๋ยวมันก็แตกกระจายไป

หากต้องการจะมีชีวิตอย่างเกษมแล้ว
ก็ต้องอาศัยความรู้เรื่อง อนิจจัง ทุกขัง อนัตตา ให้สมบูรณ์
มันจะต่อต้านกันได้กับอารมณ์ คือ รูป เสียง กลิ่น รส สัมผัส ที่มากระทบ
ไม่ให้ไปหลงรัก หรือหลงเกลียด

เรื่องวุ่นวายมีอยู่ ๒ อย่างเท่านั้น

1. ไปหลงรัก อย่างหนึ่ง
2. ไปหลงเกลียด อย่างหนึ่ง

ซึ่งเป็นเหตุให้หัวเราะและต้องร้องไห้
ถ้าใครมองเห็นว่า หัวเราะก็กระหืดกระหอบ มันเหนื่อยเหมือนกัน
ร้องไห้ก็กระหืดกระหอบ เหมือนกัน
สู้อยู่เฉย ๆ ดีกว่า อย่าต้องหัวเราะ อย่าต้องร้องไห้
นี่แหละ! มันเป็นความเกษม

เราอย่าได้ตกไปเป็นทาสของอารมณ์
จนไปหัวเราะหรือร้องไห้ตามที่อารมณ์มายั่ว
เราเป็นอิสระแก่ตัว หยุดอยู่ หรือเกษมอยู่อย่างนี้ดีกว่า

---

ใช้ อนิจจัง ทุกขัง อนัตตา เป็นเครื่องมือกำกับชีวิต

• รูป เสียง กลิ่น รส สัมผัส เป็น มายา เป็น illusion
• "ตัวกู-ของกู" ก็เป็น illusion
• เพราะ "ตัวกู-ของกู" มันเกิดมาจากอารมณ์
• "ตัวกู-ของกู" เป็นมายา อารมณ์ทั้งหลายก็เป็นมายา

เห็นได้ด้วยหลัก อนิจจัง ทุกขัง อนัตตา
...ความทุกข์ก็ไม่เกิด

---

เราจะตัดลัดมองไปดูสิ่งที่เป็น “สุขเวทนา”

สุขเวทนา คือ ความสุขสนุกสนาน เอร็ดอร่อย
ที่เป็นสุขนั้นเรียกว่า “สุขเวทนา”

แต่สุขเวทนา เป็นมายา
เพราะมันเป็นเหมือนลูกคลื่นที่เกิดขึ้นเป็นคราว ๆ
ไม่ใช่ตัวจริงอะไร

ที่พูดดังนี้ก็เพราะว่า
ในบรรดาสิ่งทั้งปวงในโลกทั้งหมดทุกโลก
ไม่ว่าโลกไหน มันมีค่าอยู่ก็ตรงที่ให้เกิดสุขเวทนา

ลองคิดดูให้ดีว่า...
- ท่านศึกษาเล่าเรียนทำไม?
- ท่านประกอบอาชีพ หน้าที่การงานทำไม?
- ท่านสะสมทรัพย์สมบัติ เกียรติยศ ชื่อเสียง พวกพ้องบริวารทำไม?

มันก็เพื่อสุขเวทนาอย่างเดียว
เพราะฉะนั้น แปลว่า อะไร ๆ มันก็มารวมจุดอยู่ที่สุขเวทนาหมด

ฉะนั้น ถ้าเรามีความรู้ในเรื่องนี้
จัดการกับเรื่องนี้ให้ถูกต้องเพียงเรื่องเดียวเท่านั้น
ทุกเรื่องมันถูกหมด

เพราะฉะนั้น จึงต้องดูสุขเวทนาให้ถูกต้องตามที่เป็นจริงว่า
มันก็เป็น “มายา” ชนิดหนึ่ง

เราจะต้องจัดการให้สมกันกับที่มันเป็นมายา
ไม่ใช่ว่า จะต้องไปตั้งข้อรังเกียจ เกลียดชังมัน
อย่างนั้นมันยิ่ง บ้าบอที่สุด

ถ้าเข้าไปหลงรัก หลงเป็นทาสมัน
ก็เป็นเรื่อง บ้าบอที่สุด

แต่ว่าไปจัดการกับมันอย่างไรให้ถูกต้อง
นั้นแหละเป็นธรรมะ
เป็น ลูกศิษย์ของพระพุทธเจ้า
ที่จะเอาชนะความทุกข์ได้ และไม่ต้องเป็น โรคทางวิญญาณ

---

สุขเวทนา ที่แท้ก็คือ มายา

มันก็ต้องทำโดยวิธีที่พิจารณาให้เห็นว่า
“สุขเวทนา” นี้ ที่แท้ก็คือ “มายา”

เป็นเหมือน ลูกคลื่นลูกหนึ่ง
ที่เกิดขึ้นเพราะ น้ำถูกลมพัด

หมายความว่า
เมื่อ รูป เสียง กลิ่น รส ฯ เข้ามา
แล้ว ความโง่ คือ อวิชชา โมหะ ออกรับ
กระทบกันแล้วเป็นคลื่น

กล่าวคือ สุขเวทนาเกิดขึ้นมา
แต่ เดี๋ยวมันก็แตกกระจายไป

---

ถ้ามองเห็นอย่างนี้แล้ว
เราก็ไม่เป็นทาสของสุขเวทนา
เราสามารถ ควบคุม จะจัด จะทำกับมันได้
ในวิธีที่ ไม่เป็นทุกข์

• ตัวเองก็ไม่เป็นทุกข์
• ครอบครัวก็ไม่เป็นทุกข์
• เพื่อนบ้านก็ไม่เป็นทุกข์
• คนทั้งโลกก็ไม่พลอยเป็นทุกข์
  เพราะมีเราเป็นมูลเหตุ

ถ้าทุกคนเป็นอย่างนี้
โลกนี้ก็มีสันติภาพถาวร
เป็นความสุขที่แท้จริงและถาวร

นี่คือ อานิสงส์ของการหายโรคโดยวิธีต่าง ๆ กัน
ไม่เป็นโรค “ตัวกู” ไม่เป็นโรค “ของกู”

What Are Rumors?

Rumors are pieces of information, stories, or claims that are circulated among people without confirmed evidence or verification. They often spread by word of mouth, social media, or other informal means and can be either true, partially true, or completely false.

Rumors can arise in various settings, schools, workplaces, communities, or online and may involve personal matters, celebrities, politics, or current events.

There are Characteristics of Rumors

• Lack of Verification: Rumors are not based on solid evidence or official sources.

• Rapid Spread: They often spread quickly, especially in emotionally charged environments.

• Distortion Over Time: As a rumor is retold, details may change, making it more misleading.

• Emotional Impact: They usually provoke strong reactions like fear, curiosity, or anger.

There are various disadvantages of Rumors

• Spread of False Information

Rumors can mislead people, creating confusion or panic, especially during crises.

Example: False health advice during a pandemic can endanger lives.

• Damage to Reputation

Individuals or organizations can suffer harm to their image or credibility.

Example: A student falsely accused of cheating might face social isolation or disciplinary action.

• Breakdown of Trust

Trust within families, workplaces, or communities can erode when rumors circulate.

People become suspicious and communication suffers.

• Emotional Harm

Rumors can lead to stress, anxiety, and depression, especially for those targeted.

In extreme cases, victims may experience bullying or harassment.

• Conflict and Division

Rumors often fuel misunderstandings, arguments, or even violence.

They can cause divisions along social, political, or cultural lines.

• Wasted Time and Resources

Authorities or organizations may have to spend time disproving rumors instead of focusing on important tasks.

Example: Law enforcement addressing false threats.

• Legal Consequences

In some cases, spreading harmful or defamatory rumors can lead to lawsuits or criminal charges.

Conclusion

While some rumors may seem harmless or even entertaining, their consequences can be severe. They thrive in environments lacking transparency and can damage individuals, relationships, and communities. It is always best to verify information from credible sources before sharing it and to promote honest, respectful communication.

At Bitcoin 2025, the company unveils the Blockstream App and a strategic roadmap to accelerate adoption.

During the Bitcoin 2025 conference held in Las Vegas, Blockstream announced several updates, including a new non-custodial application and a corporate strategy structured around three operational divisions.

Introducing the Blockstream App: a new Bitcoin wallet that grows with you.

From first sats to advanced custody, it brings self-sovereignty into reach no matter where you start. Available now on Android, coming soon to iOS. pic.twitter.com/UBiNHKh8bO

— Blockstream (@Blockstream) May 29, 2025

The new Blockstream App allows users to purchase Bitcoin directly and store it in their own wallet, eliminating the need to rely on external custodians for fund management. This technological solution is built on the infrastructure of the Blockstream Green wallet. The app supports Bitcoin, Lightning, and Liquid.

The app’s design has been conceived to meet the needs of a diverse audience, the company stated. Its interface is accessible for beginners while retaining advanced functionalities for more experienced users.

It also remains compatible with advanced security features such as hardware wallet signing and air-gapped transactions via Blockstream Jade.

Corporate strategy: consumer, enterprise, and BAM

During the event, Blockstream revealed a strategic restructuring organized into three distinct operational units. This new framework aims to strengthen the company’s position within the Bitcoin economy through tailored approaches for specific markets.

The Consumer division will focus on developing products for retail users, while the Enterprise division will manage relationships with corporate clients. Blockstream Asset Management (BAM) will serve as the company’s institutional arm, specializing in Bitcoin investment products for institutional customers.

Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream, commented:

“The past year has shown clearly that Bitcoin no longer sits on the margins of the global financial system—it is rapidly becoming the foundation. Our vision is simple: the future of finance runs on Bitcoin.”

"Pleasant Feeling" Is Ultimately an Illusion

It’s like a wave That arises when water is stirred by the wind Soon, it disperses and fades away

If one wishes to live in serenity

One must fully understand the truths of impermanence (anicca), suffering (dukkha), and non-self (anattā). These truths serve as an antidote to emotional responses—forms, sounds, smells, tastes, and touches— Preventing us from falling into attachment or aversion.

There are only two kinds of turmoil in the world:

1. Falling in love with something
2. Falling into hatred of something

These are what lead to laughter and tears. If one can see that laughter makes you breathless, it’s exhausting just the same Crying also makes you breathless, equally tiring Better to remain calm—no need to laugh, no need to cry This is true serenity

Let us not become slaves to emotions, Laughing or crying at their whims. Let us live freely. Better to remain still and serene.

---

Use Impermanence, Suffering, and Non-Self as Life's Compass

• Forms, sounds, smells, tastes, and touches are illusions
• The notion of "me and mine" is also an illusion
• Because "me and mine" arise from emotional reactions
• Therefore, "me and mine" is an illusion, and so are all emotions

By understanding impermanence, suffering, and non-self, ...suffering does not arise.

---

Let us take a shortcut and look directly at “pleasant feeling”

Pleasant feeling refers to happiness, enjoyment, delight— That which feels good is called “pleasant feeling” (sukha-vedanā)

But pleasant feeling is an illusion Because it arises like a temporary wave— It’s not a real thing.

This is said because Among all things in all worlds, What gives them value is their ability to produce pleasant feeling.

Think carefully:

• Why do you study?
• Why do you work and perform your duties?
• Why do you accumulate wealth, prestige, fame, allies, followers?

It’s all for pleasant feeling. So everything ultimately revolves around pleasant feeling.

Therefore, if we understand this matter well And handle it properly, even this one thing alone— Then everything else falls into place.

So we must see pleasant feeling for what it really is: Just another kind of illusion

We must deal with it accordingly, Not by rejecting or hating it That would be the most foolish thing

But if we become infatuated with it, Or enslaved by it— That, too, is the most foolish thing

What matters is how we handle it properly That is the Dhamma (truth) That is being a disciple of the Buddha One who can overcome suffering, and not suffer from spiritual disease

---

Pleasant Feeling Is Truly an Illusion

It must be approached with the understanding that: “Pleasant feeling is, in truth, illusion.”

Like a single wave That arises when water is stirred by wind

Which means: When forms, sounds, smells, tastes, and so on come in And ignorance and delusion rise up to meet them They clash, and a wave is formed

That is, pleasant feeling arises But soon it disperses again

---

If we can see it this way, We won’t be slaves to pleasant feeling. We will be able to manage it, deal with it, and use it In ways that don’t lead to suffering

• We won’t suffer ourselves
• Our family won’t suffer
• Our neighbors won’t suffer
• The world won’t suffer either, Because we are no longer the cause of suffering

If everyone were like this, The world would know lasting peace A true and enduring happiness

This is the benefit of healing the illness in different ways No longer afflicted by the diseases of “me” or “mine”

The $100 million gamble that's turning crypto traders into unlikely heroes. James Wynn just placed his second massive Bitcoin bet after being liquidated days ago, and now claims market makers are deliberately targeting his position. With his liquidation level set at $103,630, Wynn has rallied the crypto community to his defense, receiving donations from 24 users totaling nearly $8,000. This David vs Goliath battle reveals how retail traders are banding together against what they perceive as market manipulation, creating a fascinating power shift in an industry where individual traders rarely had such collective influence. Will the community save Wynn from the "evil

6 years ago I created some tools for working with peter todd's opentimestamps proof format. You can do some fun things like create plaintext and mini ots proofs. This short post is just a demo of what these tools do and how to use them.

What is OTS?

OpenTimestamps is a protocol for stamping information into bitcoin in a minimal way. It uses OP_RETURN outputs so that it has minimal impact on chain, and potentially millions of documents are stamped all at once with a merkle tree construction.

Examples

Here's the proof of the ots.c source file getting stamped into the ots calendar merkle tree. We're simply printing the ots proof file here with otsprint:

``` $ ./otsprint ots.c.ots

When a trader bets $100M on Bitcoin, the market becomes the hunter. James Wynn placed his second massive leveraged position after being liquidated days earlier, claiming market makers are deliberately targeting his $103,640 liquidation level. The crypto community rallied behind him, donating thousands in stablecoins to help "fight the market-making cabal." Meanwhile, Trump's media company seeks SEC approval for a Truth Social Bitcoin ETF, joining the growing trend of corporate Bitcoin treasuries. Tether moved $3.9B in Bitcoin to Twenty One Capital, making it the third-largest corporate holder. Are you watching these high-stakes crypto battles unfold, or participating in them yourself?

Bitcoinova potrošnja energije nije „rasipna“

– On je mnogo efikasniji od postojećih finansijskih sistema

– Niko nema moralni autoritet da vam kaže šta je dobra ili loša upotreba energije (npr: gledanje Parova, Zadruge ili Farme)

Hajde da raskrinkamo ovaj FUD (eng. Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt – Strah, Neizvesnost i Sumnju)

U ovom članku istražujem kako je sve oko nas energija, novac je energija, subjektivna upotreba energije i troškovi PoW-a (eng. Proof of work – Dokaz rada) u odnosu na postojeće sisteme upravljanja.

Ideja da je „rad“ energija, započela je kada je francuski matematičar Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis predstavio ideju da je energija „odrađen rad“. Nekada davno, celokupan posao koji je odrađivan u ekonomiji realizovan je kroz ljuduski rad. Taj rad pokretala je hrana. Pre više hiljada godina, naša potrošnja energije se povećala kada smo pripitomili životinje koje bi mogle da rade umesto nas. Ti novi radnici takođe su morali da budu nahranjeni. Velike količine hrane bile su potrebne da bi se zadovoljile potrebe za energijom, a zajedno sa nama, povećavao se i naš prosperitet.

U poslednjih nekoliko stotina godina napravili smo sjajne mašine koje imaju svrhu izvršavanja tj. proizvodnje odredjenog rada. I mašine i priroda proizvode rad korišćenjem energije (prvi zakon termodinamike). Imamo ekonomiju koja se ne zasniva na novcu, već na radu i energiji.

Sve stvari u našem životu su usko povezane sa cenom energije. Troškovi bilo kog dobra su u velikoj meri odraz energije koja se koristi u proizvodnji tog dobra. Novac, koji predstavlja rad potreban za generisanje dobara i usluga, takođe se može posmatrati kao uskladištena energija.

Početkom 20. veka, ljudi su bili zainteresovani za zamenu zlata ili dolara sa „energetskim dolarom“ ili „jedinicama energije“. Koncept je bio popularan zbog svojih dobrih novčanih karakteristika. Mane? Nije se moglo lako preneti ili skladištiti.

„Da bi muškaraca/ženu naterao da poželi neku stvar, potrebno je samo učiniti stvar teškom za dobijanje.“ – Mark Twain Bitcoin-ov PoW je prvobitno izmišljen kao mera protiv spam email-ova. Tek nešto kasnije, Satoshi ga je prilagodio da se koristi u digitalnoj gotovini.

Ono što PoW rudarenje radi „ispod haube“ je upotreba namenskih mašina (ASIC-a) za pretvaranje električne energije u Bitcoin-e (putem blok nagrade). Bitcoin ima kapitalistički mehanizam glasanja, „rizikovan novac, dobijeni glasovi“ pomoću energije/ASIC-a koji se koriste za generisanje heš-ova (glasova).

Kada je Satoshi dizajnirao PoW, iz temelja je promenio način na koji se formira konsenzus između ljudi od političkih do apolitičnih glasova (heš-ova) pretvaranjem energije. To je najjednostavniji i najpravedniji način da fizički svet potvrdi nešto u digitalnom svetu.

Bitcoin je odlična roba, iskovana iz energije, osnovna roba univerzuma. PoW transformiše električnu energiju u digitalno zlato. Činjenica da je PoW „skup“ je odlika, a ne greška.

Istorijski gledano, obezbeđivanje nečega podrazumevalo je izgradnju fizičkog zida oko svega što je vredno. Knjiga Bitcoin-a je obezbeđena ukupnom sumom energije potrošene za izgradnju digitalnog zida. Bila bi potrebna ekvivalentna količina energije da bi se on srušio (nezaboravna skupoća) @NickSzabo4

„Potrošnja električne energije po transakciji“ je loš KPI, a evo i zašto:

– Potrošena energija je po bloku, a ne po transakciji

– Ekonomska gustina Bitcoin transakcije se povećava (Segwit, taproot, Lightning)

– Trebalo bi da bude definisano sigurnošću ekonomske istorije @LaurentMT . Stopa poboljšanja efikasnosti ASIC-a se usporava. Kako se efikasnost usporava, možemo očekivati porast konkurencije proizvođača kako se marže sužavaju. Sveukupni troškovi rudarenja preći će sa početnih troškova ASIC hardvera na tekuće troškove energije za ostvarivanje rada.

Cena rudarenja Bitcoin-a postaje najniža (višak) vrednost električne energije. Ovo može rešiti problem sa obnovljivim izvorima energije koji imaju predvidivi kapacitet i koji se ne iskorišćava u potpunosti, poput hidroelektrana i gorivog metana.

Aluminijum je bio popularno sredstvo za „izvoz“ električne energije iz zemlje koja obiluje neiskorišćenim obnovljivim izvorima energije (npr. Island). Kako je proizvodnja aluminijuma tokom decenija sazrevala, kWh po kilogramu proizvedenog aluminijuma postajao je efikasniji.

https://www1.eere.energy.gov/manufacturing/resources/aluminum/pdfs/al_theoretical.pdf

PoW je u krajnjem slučaju kupac celokupne električne energije, stvarajući temelj koji podstiče izgradnju novih postrojenja za proizvodnju energije oko različitih izvora energije koji bi inače ostali neiskorišćeni.

„Zamislite topografsku 3D mapu sveta sa žarištima jeftine energije koji su niži, a sa skupom energijom višlji. Zamišljam da je iskopavanje Bitcoin-a slično čaši vode koja se prelila, taložila se po uglovima i ćoškovima i glačala ih. “ – @nic__carter

„Energija koja se koristi za PoW prestaće da raste kada se granični povrat od sagorevanja kWh energije kroz PoW bude jednak graničnom povratu od prodaje tog kWh u mrežu … „ Nakamoto-va tačka“ koja će koristiti između 1-10% svetske energije.“ – @dhruvbansal

Neki se žale da rudarenje Bitcoin-a ne postiže „ništa korisno“, poput pronalaženja prostih brojeva. Bitcoin već radi nešto korisno za društvo. Nije racionalno tražiti od rudara da obavljaju funkciju koja je nesebična bez podsticaja.

Sve zahteva energiju. Tvrdnja da je jedna upotreba energije više ili manje rasipna od druge, potpuno je subjektivna, jer su sve upotrebe plaćene tržišnom stopom za korišćenje te električne energije.

Bitcoin-ova upotreba električnog kapaciteta troši manje količine električne energije od postojećih tradicionalnih sistema koji ne zahtevaju samo napajanje bankarske infrastrukture, već i vojnu i političku mašinu. Kompromis energije je „neto pozitivan“ ishod.

Preko Bitcoin-a, da li je nepoverljivo poravnanje od 1,34T USD između ugovornih strana godišnje, uz dodatni benefit jeftinije energije za sve, vredno 4,5B USD u trenutnim troškovima rudarenja? Mislim da je odgovor odlučno da.

1/ Bitcoin’s energy consumption is not “wasteful.”

- It is much more efficient than existing financial systems
- No one has the moral authority to tell you what is a good or bad use of energy (ex: watching the Kardashians)

If you haven’t read part 1 of this article, you should start there. This second part will build on the information I presented in part one. I’m going beyond just presenting the facts, to try and break down the broader principles behind what makes the Amish culture exceptional and whether any of those principles can be applied to solve the challenges facing the broader cultural landscape.

nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzp0rve5f6xtu56djkfkkg7ktr5rtfckpun95rgxaa7futy86npx8yqqj8g6r994sk66tndqkkvetjw35kc6t50ykk66tjv93kcefd9pcxzun595cjjn8l4yn

It wasn’t so long ago that the mainstream conversation around population was exclusively focused on the dangers of overpopulation. The fatal flaws in the Malthusian theory had yet to be disproven clearly and obviously by observable demographic trends. That’s been gradually changing, and while it’s hardly a mainstream consensus, concerns about falling birthrates and the risk of population collapse have taken over the population conversion on the political right, and sometimes beyond.

In part 1, I walked through the life of a typical Amish person, male or female, and attempted to highlight some specific characteristics of their culture that contribute to their default large family size. I’m of course making some assumptions in doing that, and you might disagree with my opinion on the relative impact of various cultural factors. But in general, I don’t think I made too many unreasonable inferences. I laid out the facts as clearly as possible, and didn’t go too far beyond that.

In this part, I want to go beyond the facts and into the realm of hypothesis and speculation. That means I don’t have scientific studies or hard data to categorically prove my points. So if you disagree, you’re absolutely welcome to do so, but don’t expect me to tenaciously defend my opinions with reams of hard data and irrefutable evidence. My purpose is to expand the conversation, not to present a definite solution to any perceived problem.

Is there a problem to solve?

For starters, not everyone agrees that globally collapsing fertility is, in fact, a problem to be solved. Although that’s definitely the dominate consensus in the alternative media space, and is reaching a wider audience thanks to the attention of figures like Elon Musk, the average normie still believes the debunked Malthusian hypothesis that human population is on an exponential trajectory to disaster. They’re more likely to view a collapsing global population as a good thing than as an unmitigated disaster in the making. If that’s your view, you aren’t likely to find my writing particularly compelling. But if you are interested in challenging that belief, I point out some of the potential implications of population collapse here.

nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzp0rve5f6xtu56djkfkkg7ktr5rtfckpun95rgxaa7futy86npx8yqqshqmmsw4kxzarfdahzcttjv4ek7atjvdjhxtpdv9hxgtthv4skcargr7d34a

If you’re already convinced that global below-replacement fertility is a problem to solve, then you’re in the right place.

Is there a solution?

The modern mind rarely stops to evaluate this question. As soon as a problem is presented, we immediately jump to searching for the ideal solution. That’s a foolish, and occasionally catastrophic, mistake. Before searching for a solution, it’s worth considering whether the possibility of a solution even exists, and more importantly, whether a potential solution would have unintended consequences less severe than the problem it’s intended to solve.

Often those questions can’t be answered until some attempts to find a solution have been made. But we should keep them at the top of our minds throughout the search. Otherwise we can easily find ourselves genetically modifying generally harmless diseases in the lab to make them deadly to humans as we search for a “solution” to disease, or cutting down and burning trees to produce electricity as we attempt to “solve” the climate.

When it comes to global fertility, I’ll give you my conclusion first. Yes, there are solutions to this problem. No, they almost certainly won’t be adopted on a large scale. And I’m not sure if that should be considered a failure.

That’s because of the nature of the problem. People act according to incentives. When global population was growing exponentially, that was because of the incentive structures influencing the choices of each individual. Now that the fertility rate has dropped dramatically, and global population is set to peak and collapse, that’s also because of the incentive structures influencing the choices of each individual. Globally.

That means something happened over the past few centuries that upset historical incentive structures globally. There’s every reason to believe that whatever happened was largely an emergent phenomenon. If it was, resetting the incentive structures would mean imposing, somehow, an incentive structure diametrically opposed to the naturally emergent structure. That somehow gives me pause. How certain are we that overruling a global emergent phenomenon is even possible, and if it were, less destructive than the alternative?

Because logically, the current trajectory will become unsustainable at some point. Fertility can’t continue to fall indefinitely, that trend ends in total extinction. So that leaves two alternative outcomes, absent the kind of global intervention I alluded to. One, it does continue to fall, and humans go extinct. I write that one off because it doesn’t align with my worldview, so as far as I’m concerned I know it won’t happen. You’re free to disagree. Or two, fertility continues to fall until the negative effects of falling population destroy the new global incentive structure of the past few centuries through the partial or total collapse of the emergent phenomenon underlying that structure. If you identify what you think that emergent phenomenon is, and conclude that it’s “too big to fail”, you should probably use some imagination and reconsider.

To take it one step further for the really esoteric thinkers, maybe the whole thing is less of a new concept and more of a certain phase of a larger cycle humans keep repeating throughout history. I’ll leave that one to your imagination.

What can we learn about potential solutions from the Amish?

Like I mentioned in part 1, looking at a group like the the Amish in this context is particularly useful. They exist as a sub-group within a larger environment, so that allows us to eliminate a lot of incorrect theories based on their similar circumstances. The Amish live on the same planet, breathe the same air, drink the same water, eat similar food, buy homes in the same housing market, work in the same labor market, etc. That casts significant doubt on a number of very popular theories on why people in America aren’t reproducing.

That leaves us to focus on the significant differences between Amish culture and mainstream American culture with full confidence that the real answer lies somewhere in those differences.

The structure of this article will be something of a stream-of-consciousness. I’m not going to attempt to isolate and breakdown every aspect of Amish culture independent of the whole, because that won’t be useful or accurate. I’m convinced that the factors influencing Amish fertility are best understood as parts of a larger structure, and not as cumulative independent variables. So I’m going to start by taking a birds-eye view of that structure, and then zooming in on how the various pieces support the whole.

Throughout the past few months, I’ve read a lot of material on this topic as I researched and refined my conclusions. To give credit where credit is due, I haven’t found anyone who expresses a view as coherent as the one Johann Kurtz gives in his article

https://becomingnoble.substack.com/p/its-embarrassing-to-be-a-stay-at

This is an excellent and well-thought-out piece, and one that’s rightfully gotten a lot of attention in the alternative media space. It’s only with a great deal of respect and serious hesitation that I disagree with any aspect of his work, and I do so in a spirit of advancing the intellectual discourse rather than any delusions of my superior knowledge or abilities as an author.

The role of status

The primary thesis of Mr. Kurtz’s article is that declining fertility is a consequence of a decline in the status of motherhood compared to the status afforded by various alternative life paths. While it wasn’t the only point I made in part 1 of this article, I did mention the relative status of parenthood within the Amish culture in various contexts. And a few months of research and reflection have convinced me that status is the correct starting point for understanding fertility, both within Amish culture and also more broadly. On that point, Mr. Kurtz and I fully agree. He says,

Specifically, I contend that the basic epistemological assumptions which underpin modern civilization result in the net status outcome of having a child being lower than the status outcomes of various competing undertakings, and that this results in a population-wide hyper-sensitivity to any and all adverse factors which make having children more difficult, whatever these may be in a given society.

That seems to me like a fair assessment of the situation.

And Mr. Kurtz mentions the Amish specifically, so he’s aware of their unusual pattern and has integrated that data into his hypothesis. I believe he’s correct in doing so.

With that said, I want to dive a little deeper into the idea of status and how it relates to the Amish specifically. I think they can give us some insights into the topic that make more sense of the broader cultural landscape.

First off, let’s define status. Mr. Kurtz lays it out this way.

Status, or ‘social status’, is a key field within sociology. The term denotes a universal set of human instincts and behaviors. Status describes the perceived standing of the individual within the group. It denotes their social value and their place within the formal and informal hierarchies which comprise a society. It finds expression in the behaviors of deference, access, inclusion, approval, acclaim, respect, and honor (and indeed in their opposites - rejection, ostracization, humiliation, and so forth).

Higher status individuals are trusted with influential decisions (power), participation in productive ventures (resources), social support (health), and access to desirable mates (reproduction).

Gaining status is a motivation for each individual to productively participate in society. Status is gained and maintained through approved behaviors (achievement, etiquette, defending the group) and through the possession of recognized ‘status symbols’ (titles, wealth, important physical assets).

As he points out, status is a relative game. One’s status is measured in relation to others in the group, not in relation to some objective metric.

In correctly understanding status, there’s a fine line between the concept of status as an end in itself, and status as a means to the benefits afforded by higher status. If there’s one fundamental complaint I have with Mr. Kurtz’s piece, it’s that he seems to lean too far into the concept of status as an end in itself. Taken to extremes, it’s the idea that status is somehow an arbitrary and external scale, and that if we can just manipulate or recreate that scale to place parenthood at the top, we can solve for higher fertility without changing any physical realities in the real world. I disagree with that concept of status.

If you look at the attributes of higher status, they’re all very much tangible, physical benefits. He lists four; power, resources, health, and reproduction. Power gives a person the ability to bend the behavior of others to their own tangible benefit. Access to resources is a direct physical benefit to a person’s survival and wellbeing. Health is also a direct physical benefit. And access to reproduction, while closely tied to emotional well-being, is also a distinctly physical benefit and one we’re hard-wired to respond to, given that the alternative is the end of that bloodline.

Along with that, there’s also the complex overlap between achievements that increase status and benefits conferred by higher status. If someone acquires a lot of wealth, that’s going to increase their relative status. But access to wealth-increasing opportunity is also a benefit of higher status. Similarly, acquiring a desirable mate definitely increases a person’s status. But achieving higher status by acquiring wealth also opens up the opportunity to attract a more desirable mate. All of these things are very closely entwined, and in my opinion, are the reason why status is such an existential concern. As Mr. Kurtz points out, a person can experience severe distress from loss of status, even if their own situation seems to be unchanged and they only lost status because others advanced faster. That makes sense when you consider that a relative loss of status still makes it more difficult to access the resources needed to maintain one’s status moving forward. So even if one’s absolute condition hasn’t changed, the fear that lower status could be the beginning of an irreversible downward spiral is very real.

With that in mind, I’m going to look at status in the Amish culture as closely tied to physical reality, and not only as a mental scoreboard to be manipulated at will.

In part 1, I mentioned status here.

When it comes to status, the benefits are just as clear. Amish life revolves around family, and nothing is higher status than a thriving family of your own.

That’s the bird’s-eye view of family and status in the Amish culture. But it’s not enough to stop there and say “we just need to create a status hierarchy that places motherhood at the top like the Amish have” and leave it at that. The important part is why the Amish status hierarchy, and the mainstream status hierarchy globally until 200 years ago, placed parenthood so high up the scale.

I don’t believe that hierarchies, including the status hierarchy, develop in a random way. I think they are, at least originally, rooted in physical realities. In other words, the status hierarchy elevates certain things because those things are useful markers of value to the group. Wealth is high-status because it implies competence and ability, which is a valuable asset to the group. Without competent people working hard and being productive, the group will be impoverished. Similarly, parenthood is high-status because reproduction is an existential concern for the group. Without it, the group goes extinct.

These status markers are enforced by the feedback loop of physical reality. If a group attempts to function with wealth way down at the bottom of their status hierarchy, the group will be poor and unsuccessful and will be dominated by a group with a functional status hierarchy. If a group attempts to function with parenthood way down at the bottom of their status hierarchy, as the mainstream culture is currently doing, they’ll go extinct and be replaced by the Amish. Hyperbolic, maybe, but I’m trying to illustrate the point. There may be a lag in the feedback loop, but reality is inevitable.

What keeps status hierarchies largely functional is that desirable behaviors tend to cluster. Incentive structures align to keep it that way. Working hard results in higher income, which increases status. Higher status and more disposable income are powerful motivators.

Beyond that, functional societies are incentivized to “help” the feedback loops of reality with social institutions. Honesty is important in maintaining a functional, productive high-trust society. So we put thieves in prison rather than letting them use their stolen wealth to increase their status, turning our society into South Africa and destroying our wealth to the point that we become globally non-competitive. These social institutions serve a very important purpose, but they begin to break down when the lag between cause and effect becomes too big for the average person to understand. At that point, they lose their public support and can no longer function, and shorter-term incentive structures “reset” the status hierarchy. Then we end up with things like a status hierarchy that no longer penalizes divorce, even though the long-term effects are devastating, because the average person can’t see past their own short-term incentives.

So let’s look at the Amish status hierarchy around family and children. Why is a large family still high-status in that culture?

One could first look at the effects of peer pressure and social conditioning. Most Amish children grow up in large families, surrounded by peers in equally large families. As they mature, they see their peers get married at a young age, and have children at a young age. Doing otherwise means swimming against the current, not fitting in with the group. And fitting in with the group is itself a kind of status marker.

While that’s certainly a powerful incentive, it doesn’t explain the difference between the Amish and broader culture. After all, that was everyone’s experience a few centuries ago at most. If inertia were enough to keep the Amish at a 6 TFR, why would everyone else fall below 2 over the same period? So while the lack of exposure to large families is a commonly invoked reason for falling birthrates, it doesn’t explain how we got here to begin with.

Mr. Kurtz has this to say about the changes brought about by the Enlightenment.

Thus the Enlightenment initially opened up new status opportunities for men (success) whilst undermining those that supported women (virtue). We all have a psychological need for status, and so it was only a matter of time before women demanded access to and participation within success games (education, commerce, politics, even sport). Unfortunately, accruing status through success games is time intensive, and unlike virtue games, trades off directly with fertility.

Over time, this set of status mechanics spread, intensified, and deepened, particularly during the process of urbanization during the Industrial Revolution. Ultimately this culminates in today, when the standard introductory question has become ‘What do you do?’. This is because the most effective way to gauge the status of one’s interlocutor is to understand their level of success within our meritocracy. Unfortunately, ‘I’m a mother’ is not a good answer to this question, because this conveys little status within a success framework, which is usually the operative one. Women are, understandably, hesitant to be continuously humiliated in this way, and will make whatever tradeoffs are necessary to ensure they have a better answer.

I think he’s onto something here. The Enlightenment did bring significant changes, and I want to zero in on the effects of the Industrial Revolution specifically. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, the family typically functioned as the primary economic unit. Wage labor was less common, and subsistence farming was widespread. In that system, every member of the family, and often the extended rather than the nuclear family, worked together to support the family unit. While there were gender roles, the husband and father’s work in the fields was less distinct from the wife and mother’s work in the home. Both often worked in directly complementary roles, for example the wife and daughters milking the cows while the father and sons fed, watered and cared for the animals. The “paid work” was just as often selling butter churned by the wife as selling grain the husband raised and harvested. There was not a distinct breadwinner versus homemaker role, all work was directly and clearly in support of the family as a whole. In that scenario, the question “what do you do?” would have been silly, and “I’m a mother” wouldn’t be fundamentally different than the husband’s answer of “I’m a farmer.” Status from an economic perspective would be clearly understood as a cooperative achievement. And since children were part of the economic unit, a large family had a very quick and direct economic feedback loop to higher status.

With the Industrial Revolution and the rise of wage labor, the primary economic unit became the individual rather than the family. Along with that came the invention of household appliances that drastically reduced the burden of domestic labor. Suddenly the financial status of the household was entirely dependent on the breadwinner. There’s no fundamental reason that should lower the status of the homemaking wife. As Mr. Kurtz pointed out, before the Enlightenment, a woman’s status was modified substantially by her husband’s status. And I would argue that’s still that case at the extremes. I doubt the wives of wealthy entrepreneurs and sports stars get asked “what do you do?” very often in their social circles. But what did happen is that the reduced burden of domestic labor gave women the potential to contribute to the family outside the homemaking role, and they began to demand more freedom and opportunity to do so. As they shifted more into that financial status hierarchy, it created a direct status tradeoff between career and children. Like Mr. Kurtz pointed out, “women demanded access to and participation within success games (education, commerce, politics, even sport)”.

The Amish managed to maintain the traditional status hierarchy by saying “no” to that demand. Amish women do not have independent access to education, commerce, politics, or sport. They don’t have the option of pursuing those status markers within the Amish culture.

As you can imagine, I don’t believe this approach will be implemented on a wider scale. I don’t see it happening across liberal democracies, since the bridge of universal suffrage has already been crossed.

The Amish maintain their social structure through their insular lifestyle and their severe ostracization of those who choose to leave. It’s a significant tradeoff to young people, so much so that most choose their family and community over the opportunities of the broader culture. The evidence shows that, given the opportunity with no significant tradeoff, most young women choose education and career over marriage and children.

Here’s the thing about this post-Enlightenment status hierarchy; it’s societal suicide. That much is obvious. So given that status hierarchies exist to serve group interests, this one is obviously terminally defective. So how did that happen? In my opinion, the underlying problem is that the lag time between anti-social behavior and its consequences has been inflated by the Industrial Revolution to the point that the social institutions meant to punish anti-social behavior have collapsed, and the short-term incentive structures now point away from parenthood.

The Amish have escaped that effect by creating a “moat” around their social group. Within that group, they artificially exclude certain things that aid and encourage anti-social behavior, and artificially enforce certain feedback loops that have become disconnected as a result of the Industrial Revolution.

I’ll give some examples.

One of the primary feedback loops for high fertility is that if you don’t have children, you have no one to care for you when you’re old and unable to work. In the bad old days of subsistence farming, there was no such thing as “saving for retirement”. Every year was a struggle for survival, and there were no functional financial instruments available to save and invest for decades in the future. The Industrial Revolution changed all that, and most importantly led to the creation of pensions and public welfare systems. Now anyone without children to care for them could be cared for in old age by one of these financial schemes. Did that fundamentally solve a problem? No, not at all. Look at the bankrupt state of global public pension schemes today, and the imminent collapse they face as the result of (checks notes)… too few young workers to support each retiree. Turns out, society actually does need everyone to have enough children to support them in old age. The Industrial Revolution just broke the direct feedback loop, so everyone doesn’t get to see the poor souls without children begging on the street or sent to the poorhouse in their old age, and can therefore conclude that not having children is a purely personal choice and won’t have any effect on their lifestyle at age 80. The Amish took a different approach. They are exempt from Social Security. They don’t pay into it, and they aren’t eligible to collect it. They can see from a young age that children care for and support their elderly parents. They know that if they don’t have children and grandchildren, their elderly years will be much more difficult and depressing. They don’t get fed any dishonest media narratives portraying some rosy alternative reality. The historical status hierarchy rewarding large families remains intact.

As another example, casual sex historically resulted in unplanned pregnancies, and without good employment opportunities or public welfare schemes, single mothers faced an extremely difficult life. With the invention of reliable contraceptives, legal abortion, good employment opportunities, court-mandated child support, and public welfare, casual sex no longer carries catastrophic consequences for women. Over the longer term, it leads to drastically reduced marriage rates, lower fertility rates, higher rates of single motherhood, dysfunctional children, and eventually societal collapse. The Amish fight this trend in various ways. First, the lack of employment opportunities for women means that they’re fundamentally dependent on family and community for support. And violating community expectations by engaging in sex outside of marriage puts that support in jeopardy. That’s a strong deterrent. The absence of sex education makes it much less likely that young people will feel comfortable engaging in casual sex without risking pregnancy, and much more likely that they’ll abstain altogether, given the significant social consequences. All on top of the religious teaching against it, which in my opinion is just additional icing on the cake. None of that does anything to diminish the human sex drive. So particularly for young men, that incentive structure makes early marriage a lot more appealing than it might otherwise be. Once again, the historical status hierarchy remains intact.

Another example would be lifestyle based. Although the Amish are no longer primarily subsistence farmers, they reject many of the modern conveniences that eliminated the labor involved in housework. Their insistence on distinctive clothing means the women still spend significant time sewing for the family. And all that clothing must be washed with much more primitive equipment than we’re accustomed to. Cooking is also more labor intensive, and eating out, ordering takeout, or buying prepared food are much less accepted. No microwave to heat up a TV dinner, or even last night’s leftovers. Gardening and preserving food is strongly encouraged. No vacuum cleaners for cleaning. Mowing the lawn might require a hand-pushed mechanical reel mower, not a ride-on garden tractor. The lack of cars makes staying home and caring for the household much less optional, for both men and women. And the large potential income disparity between men and women makes all men potentially attractive mates to all women. That eliminates the hypergamous trap we have now where the average man isn’t sufficiently high-status to attract the average woman, which leaves both groups single and frustrated while the majority of women chase an increasingly small group of men with the financial resources to actually improve their lifestyle. All those restrictions for the Amish make life much more comfortable as a team effort, for both men and women. Trying to do it all yourself would hardly be feasible. The alternative is to stay living at home with your parents, hardly a rewarding or high-status lifestyle in any cultural setting. In this case, the Amish have chosen to artificially restrict their access to the physical benefits of the Industrial Revolution. This is less about status, and more about creating conditions that make marriage a direct lifestyle benefit. Once again, it’s questionable whether all these modern technologies and conveniences can survive in an environment of collapsing global population. So the approach the Amish are taking may just be an artificial short-circuit of a feedback loop that will send us all back to the Dark Ages anyway. Regardless, they’ve managed to maintain the historical attractiveness of marriage, in this case by removing access to modern conveniences that allow us to effectively outsource labor in a way that makes the single lifestyle attractive. The attractive single lifestyle is largely historically unprecedented, and a direct result of the Industrial Revolution.

Many of the lifestyle choices of the Amish culture are less about direct effects, and more about maintaining the “moat” that keeps their culture somewhat isolated from the broader society. This makes a lot of sense when you understand that status is “the perceived standing of the individual within the group.” If you want to create your own status hierarchy, you have to create your own coherent group. The Amish severely restrict their exposure to the media and culture of the broader society. That’s a very effective way to maintain a coherent group. Amish young girls don’t feel the same pressure to pursue higher education and career over marriage and motherhood, because they don’t see a billion media references praising career and denigrating motherhood before they’re 18. And they don’t see a million “boss babes” on social media, TV, and Netflix shows flaunting the single lifestyle and bashing the patriarchy in heels. Instead, they see and hear their mothers, grandmothers, and aunts joyfully caring for and loving their large families, praised and supported by their devoted, hardworking husbands. The evidence shows that a free market in media doesn’t result in glowing depictions of parenthood that lead young people to reject career opportunities and pursue marriage instead. You can ask yourself why that might be, but that’s what history shows.

Across thousands of distinct cultural groups around the world, only a handful have rejected the dominant post-Enlightenment status hierarchy in favor of large families and traditional values. I’m not aware of any that managed it without significant insulation from the dominant culture. That tells me that the short-term incentive structure of modern society is more powerful than any historical cultural norms, and there is no passive solution that doesn’t involve collapse of that incentive structure and the civilization it rests on.

I could go into more detail on specifics of Amish culture and how they play into their status hierarchy. But you can read part 1 of the article and draw your own conclusions. I’m going to end with what’s sure to be a highly provocative list of requirements that would be necessary for the Amish status hierarchy to function across broader society. I don’t personally believe there’s any possibility of anything similar being widely adopted. And frankly, I don’t think it’s possible outside of a religious context, without the collapse of modern civilization as we know it. The collapse of modern civilization is the outcome I expect, although I’m happy to be proven wrong. So this is a philosophical exercise, not a policy prescription.

• End social acceptance of casual sex. Implement sever consequences for premarital sex or marital infidelity.

• End all forms of government financial support for the elderly. All elderly care is the responsibility of the family, or failing that, the church/community.

• End all government support for single mothers. Again, support for widows and those in other extenuating circumstances is the responsibility of the church/community.

• End all sex education in public schools. Sex education is the responsibility of the parents.

• Ban all forms of contraception, with significant penalties for violation.

• Ban abortion.

• Severely restrict access to higher education for women.

• End female participation in politics, including universal suffrage. One household, one vote. No voting by unmarried people, male or female.

• End the social and legal acceptance of divorce. No divorce permitted for any reason, and legal separation doesn’t allow for remarriage.

• End mandatory public education. Education is the responsibility of the parents.

• Ban negative messaging toward marriage and children in all forms of media.

• Severely restrict or outright eliminate social media platforms.

• Roll back child labor laws significantly.

I could add a few more, but I think that covers the essentials. If that sounds insane and offensive to you, I’m not shocked. This isn’t a policy prescription, and as I said at the beginning of the piece, I don’t necessarily believe that this is even a problem we should attempt to “fix”. The reason being, any government with the power to enforce these requirements on the world would be more concerning to me than the prospect of civilizational collapse itself. Civilization has collapsed before, many times throughout history. And we’ve always bounced back eventually. A global power of this magnitude might not be reversible.

But you should at least temper your shock and outrage with the realization that every item on that list was the accepted reality for most of human history, all the way up until the past few anomalous centuries.

My personal opinion is that too much obsession with this issue is probably a waste of time. Again, I don’t think any “solution” we come up with is likely to be less dangerous than the problem itself. I expect things to play out over a long period of time, and for the population decline to eventually degrade our interconnected, high-tech global civilization. Once many of the advances of the Industrial Revolution become widely unavailable, the natural incentive structures and status hierarchies will reemerge. And those incentive structures demand that men and women are natural allies, not enemies. We need each other, and the families we create together, to be a healthy, happy, flourishing, and productive society over the long term. If the prospect of losing our modern conveniences and going back to that world terrifies you, go befriend an Amish parent or grandparent. You’ll soon realize that they’re as happy and fulfilled in life as anyone you’ll ever meet. Life is a matter of perspective, not products. And my point in exploring this topic isn’t to spread doom, but to point out that we can make our own decisions and surround ourselves with like-minded people, and in doing so find peace and fulfillment in relationships and community instead of constantly chasing a dysfunctional, suicidal status hierarchy.

In conclusion, while writing this article, a stanza from Rudyard Kipling’s poem “The Gods of the Copybook Headings” kept coming to mind. It’s been over a hundred years since he penned these words, and the whole poem displays a prescience that’s positively uncanny. The seeds of the current issue were sown a long time ago, but there were people like him who saw the poisonous fruit coming even as the little plants were just emerging from the soil.

``` As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race, I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market Place. Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall, And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.

We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn: But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind, So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.

We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace, Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market Place, But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.

With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch, They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch; They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings; So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.

When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace. They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease. But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe, And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."

On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life (Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife) Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith, And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "The Wages of Sin is Death."

In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all, By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul; But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy, And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "If you don't work you die."

Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew, And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four– And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man There are only four things certain since Social Progress began. That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire, And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins, As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn, The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return! ```

Sberbank, Russia’s Biggest Bank, Launches Structured Bond Tied to Bitcoin 

Sberbank, the largest bank in Russia, has launched a new structured bond that ties investor returns to the performance of Bitcoin and the U.S. dollar-to-ruble exchange rate. This new financial product represents one of the first moves by a major Russian institution to offer Bitcoin-linked investments under recently updated national regulations.

— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) June 2, 2025

The structured bond is initially available over the counter to a limited group of qualified investors. According to the announcement, it allows investors to earn based on two factors: the price performance of BTC in U.S. dollars and any strengthening of the dollar compared to the Russian ruble.

Unlike typical Bitcoin investments, this product does not require the use of a Bitcoin wallet or foreign platforms. “All transactions [are] processed in rubles within Russia’s legal and infrastructure systems,” Sberbank stated, highlighting compliance with domestic financial protocols.

In addition to the bond, Sberbank has announced plans to launch similar structured investment products with Bitcoin exposure on the Moscow Exchange. The bank also revealed it will introduce a Bitcoin futures product via its SberInvestments platform on June 4, aligning with the product’s debut on the Moscow Exchange.

These developments follow a recent policy change by the Bank of Russia, which now permits financial institutions to offer Bitcoin-linked instruments to qualified investors. This shift opens the door for Bitcoin within the country’s traditional financial markets.

While Russia has previously taken a cautious approach to digital assets, Sberbank’s launch of a Bitcoin-linked bond and upcoming futures product marks a new phase of adoption—one that blends Bitcoin exposure with existing financial infrastructure.

The bank’s structured bond may signal a growing interest in regulated access to Bitcoin, especially within large financial institutions.

The revelation by Miles Suter, Product Lead at Block, at the Bitcoin Conference 2025 confirms the economic potential of LN for professional operators, but the yield comes mainly from routing fees

During the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, Miles Suter, Bitcoin Product Lead at Block Inc., revealed data that could change the economic perception of the Lightning Network: the company’s routing node is generating annual returns of 9.7% on invested liquidity.

During his presentation, Suter confirmed what many experts suspected but no one had ever quantified precisely: Lightning payment routing can be not only technically effective, but also economically profitable on a large scale. With an estimated public capacity of 184 BTC (approximately $20 million), Block is demonstrating that Lightning infrastructure can generate significant returns through the use of bitcoin as a payment method.

Non-custodial yield, with a doubt

Lightning routing represents what experts define as “true non-custodial yield” – returns generated from the pure economic utility of bitcoin as a means of payment, without having to entrust one’s funds to third parties.

“We are earning almost 10% returns on Bitcoin by effectively routing real payments on the Lightning network,” Suter declared.

Riccardo Masutti — researcher and founder of Baited — has, however, observed that the double-digit yields advertised by Block are closely tied to an exceptionally aggressive fee structure that markedly deviates from the median parameters of the Lightning Network. In particular, the Cash App nodes apply a fee rate of 2,147,483,647 ppm, resulting in fees up to 2 million times higher than the average cost of standard channel transactions. Block’s own node also enforces significant fees: to route a million satoshis, it requires 1,053 sats in outgoing fees and 2,955 sats in incoming fees, compared to a network median base fee of approximately 0.999839 sat and a median fee rate of 0.000063 sat/sat. This discrepancy suggests that the yield is generated more by a surcharge imposed on intermediated payments than by any real efficiency in liquidity allocation.

In 2024 Cash App recorded an increase in Lightning payment volume equal to 7 times that of the previous year: one in four outgoing payments now occurs via LN, Suter stated.

According to Block’s Product Lead “if Bitcoin becomes only digital gold, we have failed the mission. If we don’t use bitcoin for payments, we risk losing one of the most important promises permissionless money. If we don’t preserve the qualities of cash in the digital world, human liberty is seriously in trouble.”

The company aims to incentivize practical and daily use of bitcoin, seeing Lightning payments as the key to realizing Satoshi Nakamoto’s original vision of a “peer-to-peer electronic payment system.”

Metaplanet Acquires 1,088 More Bitcoin, Bringing Total Holdings to 8,888 BTC

Metaplanet, Japan’s leading Bitcoin treasury firm, has purchased an additional 1,088 Bitcoin for approximately ¥16.89 billion at an average price of ¥15,519,019 per BTC. This acquisition raises the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 8,888 BTC, with a cumulative purchase cost of ¥122.27 billion at an average price of ¥13,756,658 per BTC.

The company continues to report gains under its BTC Yield metric, a proprietary KPI that measures Bitcoin accumulation per share. Quarter-to-date (QTD), as of June 2, 2025, Metaplanet’s BTC Yield stands at 66.3%, following previous QTD yields of 95.6%, 309.8%, and 41.7% over the last three quarters. Total BTC Gain for Q2 2025 is 2,684 BTC, translating to a ¥40.54 billion gain based on a reference Bitcoin price of ¥15.10 million.

— Metaplanet Inc. (@Metaplanet_JP) June 2, 2025

Metaplanet’s capital markets activity has been tightly aligned with its Bitcoin accumulation strategy. Since January 28, 2025, the company executed a series of zero-coupon, non-interest-bearing bond issuances and 0% discount stock acquisition rights to EVO FUND, raising over ¥35 billion and USD 121 million. These funds were used for Bitcoin purchases and bond redemptions.

— Dylan LeClair (@DylanLeClair_) June 2, 2025

In Q1 FY2025, Metaplanet reported its strongest financial results yet. Revenue increased 8% quarter-over-quarter to ¥877 million, while operating profit rose 11% to ¥593 million. Net income surged to ¥5.0 billion, complemented by unrealized gains of ¥13.5 billion from its Bitcoin holdings, further strengthening the company’s balance sheet. 

Although Bitcoin prices dipped briefly at the end of March, causing a ¥7.4 billion valuation loss, Metaplanet swiftly recovered as BTC surged to new record levels. This strong connection with Bitcoin’s performance has led many investors to use Metaplanet as an investment vehicle to get Bitcoin exposure on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

At the same time, Strategy acquired another 705 Bitcoin for about $75 million, further expanding its position as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin as more public companies continue to adopt Bitcoin treasury strategies.

According to their SEC filing on June 2, they bought Bitcoin at an average price of $106,495 each between May 26 and June 1, bringing their total holdings to 580,955 BTC. The acquisition was funded by selling some of their preferred shares through an at-the-market (ATM) equity offering.

While Asia silently steals the crypto spotlight, America's grip on digital assets is slipping through its fingers.

The U.S. share of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana trading has dropped below 45% as Asian markets surge to capture nearly a third of global crypto activity. This power shift comes despite Bitcoin's remarkable resilience, hovering above $105,000 after weathering a $1 billion liquidation storm.

What's driving this global rebalancing? Institutional players are flooding in – Strategy purchased $2.7 billion in Bitcoin while ETFs absorbed $5.2 billion in May alone. Meanwhile, Ethereum leads the recovery charge with a 4.5% gain as its Foundation restructures to sharpen its competitive edge.

The most fascinating development? Bitcoin's rally is happening on surprisingly low volume. ETFs now represent 45% of global spot BTC market volume, suggesting this isn't retail FOMO but calculated institutional positioning.

Is this the beginning of a new global crypto order? As trade tensions simmer between the U.S. and China, will Asia's growing influence reshape the future of digital assets?

9. Da Zaokružimo Priču

U redu, dakle stekli ste neku količinu Bitcoin-a, i koji je sada najbolji način za njegovo čuvanje? Ovde ću vas provesti kroz proces pronalaženja pravog Bitcoin novčanika za vas.

Iako se čini kao jednostavno pitanje, ima iznenađujuće puno nijansi koje treba razmotriti. Koliko Bitcoin-a imate? Koliko često planirate da ga trošite? Da li ste sigurni da su vaši ključevi sigurniji kod vas nego kod offline čuvara? Odgovori na ova pitanja pomoći će vam da pronadjete pravo rešenje za vas.

Bitcoin je nosilac imovine, što znači da i sami možete držati ključeve svog Bitcoin-a. Kada držite svoje Bitcoin ključeve, vi imate direktnu kontrolu nad svojim novcem. Nije povereno nijednoj trećoj strani, poput banke. Trebate držati svoje ključeve onda kada utvrdite da je rizik da ih lično držite manji od rizika da ih čuvar izgubi. Donošenje te odluke oslanja se uglavnom na vaše razumevanje kako i zašto držati svoje Bitcoin ključeve. U ovom članku ću vam pomoći da razumete obe strane.

U ovom članku ćemo istražiti:

• „Nisu vaši ključevi, nije vaš Bitcoin“
• Bezbednost vs Konfor
• Vrste Bitcoin novčanika
• Postavke Multisig-a
• Moja preporuka za izbor najboljeg novčanika za VAS

Zato počnimo polako.

Bitcoin Je Nosilac Imovine

U kriptografiji, javni ključ(public key) se koristi za šifrovanje poruka, a privatni ključ(private key) za njihovo dešifrovanje. Ako bi neko želeo da vam pošalje šifrovanu poruku, šifrirao bi je vašim javnim ključem. Vaš privatni ključ je jedini način za dešifrovanje te poruke, pa sve dok ste jedina osoba koja drži taj privatni ključ, vi ste i jedina osoba koja može pročitati poruku.

Bitcoin koristi kriptografiju javnog/privatnog ključa da bi osigurao transakcije. Privatni ključ se kreira kada napravite Bitcoin novčanik. Novčanik stvara javne ključeve koji se heširaju i koriste kao adrese za prijem Bitcoin-a. Privatni ključ je potreban da bi se dokazalo vlasništvo nad uskladištenim Bitcoin-om na toj adresi kako bi se mogao potrošiti.

Ako lično ne kontrolišete privatne ključeve povezane sa vašim Bitcoin-om, onda zapravo ne posedujete svoj Bitcoin. Drugim rečima, ako menjačnica ili banka drži vaše Bitcoin-e u vaše ime, vi onda nemate direktnu kontrolu nad svojim Bitcoin-ima. Vi prenosite sigurnost svog Bitcoin-a drugoj stranci.

Da biste u potpunosti iskoristili jedinstvene osobine Bitcoin-a kao novca, vi trebate da držite svoje privatne ključeve. Kao što Bitcoineri često kažu „nisu vaši ključevi, nije vaš Bitcoin“. Ovo vam pruža mogućnost držanja vašeg Bitcoin-a pod vašim nadzorom, tako da ga države, banke ili hakeri koji ga ciljaju ne mogu zapleniti ili oduzeti. Ali odabir držanja sopstvenih ključeva dolazi sa odredjenom odgovornošću za bezbednost vašeg Bitcoin-a.

Moj cilj je da vam pomognem da postanete konforni sa mogućnošću držanja svojih ključeva. Do tada, Bitcoin če biti sigurniji na novčaniku vaše menjačnice.

Sada ćemo pogledati koje opcije imate za preuzimanje kontrole nad sopstvenim Bitcoin ključevima.

Bezbednost vs Komfor

Komprimis: Bezbednost vs Komfor

Glavni kompromis koji treba uzeti u obzir prilikom skladištenja vašeg Bitcoin-a je između bezbednosti i konfora. Očigledno je da su i bezbednost i konfor poželjne osobine prilikom čuvanja vašeg Bitcoin-a, ali se međusobno direktno suprotstavljaju.

Gde se vi nalazite u spektru bezbednosti nasuprot konfora?

Postavite sebi ova pitanja da biste stekli bolji utisak o tome koji način čuvanja za vas ima najviše smisla:

• Ukupna vrednost – da li skladištite na nivou od 0,1%, 1% ili 10 +% vaše neto vrednosti u Bitcoin-u? Odgovor bi trebao da vam da vrlo različite metode čuvanja vašeg Bitcoin-a. Očigledno biste bili spremni da pretrpite više neprijatnosti ako to znači zaštitu 50% vaše neto vrednosti.
• Vremenski okvir/dostupnost – Kada i koliko često imate potrebu da trošite svoje Bitcoin-e? Da li je to više kao tekući račun, srednjoročni štedni račun ili je vaš Bitcoin sličniji dugoročnom penzionom računu?

“Pazite da podešavanje vaše zaštite ne bude tako složeno da čak i vi zaboravite kako dostupiti vašom Bitcoin-u“

Od Bitcoinera se mogu čuti upozoravajuće priče o ljudima koji gube svoje Bitcoin-e zbog prekomplikovanih podešavanja čuvanja, što rezultira time da vlasnik zaboravi kako da pristupi svojim novčićima.

Pregled Novčanika: Istraživanje Hardverskih, Mobilnih, Desktop i Multisig Bitcoin Novčanika

Sada kada ste odlučili da nabavite nekoliko Bitcoin-a (pametan potez) vreme je da odlučite gde ćete čuvati vaš Bitcoin. Kada započinjete, ovo vam može dati nadmoćan osećaj. U ovom odeljku ću vam dati kratki pregled opcija kojima raspolažete. Kao i u većini stvari u životu, i ovde se radi o kompromisima.

Hardverski Bitcoin Novčanici

Korisnici čuvaju privatne ključeve na namenskom hardverskom delu.

Prednosti: Privatni ključevi nikada ne dolaze u dodir sa internetom, što smanjuje rizik od njihovih gubitaka. Pogodno za dugotrajno skladištenje. Ako izgubite hardverski novčanik, možete da upotrebite backup seed fraze (eng. seed phrase backup) da biste vratili novčanik.

Mane: Korisnici moraju da obezbede backup seed fraze, što zahteva promišljenu strategiju kako da je zaštite. Preporučuje se da zapišete svoju seed frazu na metal i sačuvate rezervne kopije na više sigurnih lokacija. Ako vam ukradu hardverski novčanik, dolazite u rizik hakovanja vaših sredstava. Napomena: zaštita backup seed fraze je standardna praksa za novčanike gde korisnik kontroliše svoje privatne ključeve.

Primeri: Ledger, Trezor, Coldcard i BitBox

Mobilni Bitcoin Novčanici

Korisnici čuvaju privatne ključeve na mobilnom uređaju.

Prednosti: Jednostavan za upotrebu, dobar za početnike, pogodan za male iznose.

Mane: Najmanje sigurna opcija jer se privatni ključevi nalaze na uređaju povezanom na Internet. Ako napadač stekne fizički pristup vašem telefonu, može proslediti sredstva u njegov novčanik. Nije dobro za dugotrajno skladištenje.

Primeri: Block­stream Green, Samourai (samo za Android), Muun, Blue Wallet, Electrum

Desktop Bitcoin Novčanici

Korisnici čuvaju privatne ključeve na svom desktop/laptop računaru

Prednosti: Dobro korisničko iskustvo.

Mane: Nije baš bezbedno, jer su računari povezani na internet i podložni virusima i napadima. Nije dobro za dugotrajno čuvanje.

Primeri: Bitcoin Core i Electrum (napredni), Wasabi (srednji), Block­stream Green (početni). Wasabi je verovatno najbolji novčanik za privatnost, a Block­stream Green je najbolji početnički desktop novčanik.

Multisignature Bitcoin Novčanici

Korisnik čuva privatne ključeve u posebnom novčaniku za koji je potrebno da potpiše više privatnih ključeva pre nego što može da premešta svoja sredstva. Na primer, u „2 od 3“ multisig (eng. multisignature – više potpisa) novčaniku, korisniku su potrebna bilo koja dva od tri privatna ključa za slanje sredstava.

Prednosti: Jedan od najsigurnijih načina za čuvanje vašeg Bitcoin-a, smanjuje efikasnost fizičkih napada, pogodan za dugoročno skladištenje.

Mane: Teško ga je samostalno podesiti, ali postoji nekoliko servisa koji olakšavaju ovaj proces. Nije pogodno za potrošnju, a to može predstavljati i poentu.

Primeri: Unchained Capital’s Vault (2 od 3), Casa’s Keymaster (2 od 3 i 3 od 5), Block­steam Green (2 od 2), Electrum.

Vruće vs Hladno – (hot vs Cold) Bitcoin Novčanici: U čemu je razlika?

Vrući novčanici su povezani na Internet. To znači da je ključevima lakše pristupiti nego kada su na hardverskom novčaniku, a to takođe znači i da su vaša sredstva ranjiva na napade hakera. Vruće novčanike preporučujem samo za male količine.

Hladni novčanici NISU povezani sa Internetom. To znači da je vašim sredstvima teže pristupiti. Hladni novčanici su manje pogodni za korisnike, ali hakeri mnogo teže mogu da pristupe vašim sredstvima. Hladne novčanike treba smatrati jedinom opcijom za dugoročno čuvanje.

Bitcoin Novčanik – Backup Fraza

Većina novčanika zahteva od korisnika da zapišu „backup seed frazu“. Ovo je mera predostrožnosti u slučaju da izgubite pristup svojim privatnim ključevima/novčaniku. To takođe znači da korisnici moraju biti vrlo oprezni sa svojim rezervnim kopijama jer one sadrže sve potrebne informacije za pristup vašim sredstvima. Tretirajte i čuvajte svoje rezervne kopije na način kao što bi tretirali i čuvali gomilu zlata.

• Ne pravite slike ili snimke ekrana svoje backup fraze
• Ne izgovarajte naglas svoju backup frazu – ikad!
• Ne čuvajte svoju semensku frazu Password Manager Aplikaciji
• Ne koristite Internet uslugu oporavka backup fraze
• Koristite pristupnu frazu (passphrase) da biste dodali još sigurnosti
• Koristite više metoda za pravljenje rezervnih kopija
• Ograničite pristup svojoj backup frazi što je više moguće
• Nikada ne razgovarajte sa ljudima gde, kako i koliko Bitcoin-a čuvate

Tako izgleda „backup seed fraza“

Bitcoin Novčanici Bez Seed-ova

Drugi način za čuvanje Bitcoin-a su novčanici bez seed-ova. Oni su dizajnirani za multisig akaunte, gde korisnici ne kreiraju backup seed-ove, već se oslanjaju na uslugu rezervne kopije. Casa prednjači u novčanicima bez seed-ova sa svojim Keymaster multisignaturnim proizvodom.

Bitcoin Multisignature: Kako radi

Umesto da zahtevaju jedan potpis privatnog ključa za premeštanje sredstava, multisig novčanici zahtevaju više potpisa za premeštanje sredstava. Postoji mnogo načina za pravljenje multisig novčanika, ali iskoristimo postavku 2 od 3 za naš primer.

Kao korisnik, to znači da imate ukupno 3 privatna ključa koji odgovaraju jednom Bitcoin novčaniku. Da biste prebacili sredstva, potrebna su vam najmanje 2 privatna ključa za potpisivanje transakcije. Većina korisnika će fizički odvojiti lokacije svakog ključa kako bi što više smanjili rizik. Samo nemojte biti previše kreativni, da ne prevarite i sebe i na taj način izgubite svoja sredstva (to se dogodilo mnogo puta).

Kao što je gore pomenuto, evo nekoliko primera Multisig­na­ture novčanika

• Block­steam Green Wallet (2 od 2)
• Casa’s Keymaster (2 od 3 i 3 od 5)
• Unchained Capital’s Vault (2 od 3)
• Electrum

Prednosti Multisig-a

Multisig nudi prostor za greške. Ako imate samo jedan privatni ključ i izgubite ga, vaša sredstva će se zauvek izgubiti. Međutim, ako imate podešavanje 2 od 3, možete sebi priuštiti da izgubite jedan privatni ključ i dalje pristupite svojim sredstvima.

Multisig takođe smanjuje šanse za moguće fizičke napade. Recimo da ste fizički ugroženi i primorani da se odreknete svog dragocenog Bitcoin-a. Ako ste imali normalan novčanik (a ne multisig), onda biste lako mogli da prebacite svoj Bitcoin tom kom vas napada. Međutim, ako ste postavili multisig podešavanja, jedan od vaših ključeva je u kući, a drugi ključ na nekom drugom mestu (npr. vaša kancelarija ili sef u banci). Ovakvo razdvajanje ključeva u velikoj meri smanjuje želju tog napadača da uopšte pokuša da preotme vaš Bitcoin.

Zašto Moj Bitcoin Novčanik Stalno Menja Moju Adresu?

Svaki skup privatnih ključeva može generisati bilione javnih ključeva. Ovi javni ključevi se zatim transformišu (kroz matematički proces zvan heširanje) da bi se proizvele javne adrese.

Svaka pojedinačna adresa može da primi Bitcoin. Dakle, svaki skup privatnih ključeva koji posedujete sposoban je da proizvede svoj jedinstveni, masivni skup javnih adresa koje posedujete vi, i samo vi. Svako može da pošalje Bitcoin na te javne adrese, ali samo onaj koji poseduje te privatne ključeve može trošiti Bitcoin sa tih adresa.

Mnogi ljudi vole da uporedjuju privatne ključeve, javne adrese i Bitcoin novčanike sa e-mail adresama. Privatni ključevi su vaša lozinka, javna adresa je vaša e-mail adresa, a novčanik je e-mail domen koji koristite (npr. Gmail, Protonmail, Yahoo itd.). Iako je korisna, ova analogija pomalo obmanjuje, jer sa Bitcoin-om svaka lozinka (privatni ključ) koju posedujete omogućava pristup bilionima potencijalnih e-mail adresa (javnih adresa) za slanje i primanje Bitcoin-a.

Nema razloga za brigu ako vaš novčanik stalno generiše nove Bitcoin adrese. To je zapravo jedna od njegovih karakteristika! Novčanici koji generišu i koriste nove javne adrese pomažu u zaštiti vaše privatnosti od ljudi koji „njuškaju“ na javnom Bitcoin blockchain-u. Samo zapamtite da sve dok vi držite privatne ključeve novčanika, samo vi posedujete sadašnji i budući Bitcoin, poslat na bilo koju javnu adresu koju je generisao vaš novčanik. Samo se pobrinite da privatni ključevi Bitcoin-a budu sigurni, bezbedni i privatni.

Moja Preporuka: Neka Procenat Neto Vrednosti Vodi Vaš Izbor Bitcoin Novčanika

Najjednostavniji način pristupanja izbora koji novčanik će te odabrati za vaš Bitcoin je fokusiranje na pitanje „koliko novca je u igri?“. Drugim rečima, koji procenat vaše neto vrednosti je zaštićen? Evo naše analize, ali naravno, situacija svake osobe je jedinstvena. Koristite ovo kao smernicu, a ne kao apsolutnu istinu.

Male količine (oko 0,1% neto vrednosti) – Koristite mobilni Bitcoin novčanik

• Block­stream Green – ima multisig 2 od 2. To je verovatno najbolji Bitcoin novčanik za iPhone.
• Casa Keymaster (režim sa jednim ključem) – rezervna kopija bez seed-a.

Srednji iznosi (oko 1% neto vrednosti) – Koristite hardverski Bitcoin novčanik

• Ledger
• Trezor
• Coldcard

Velike količine (više od 10% + neto vrednost) – Koristite Multisig Bitcoin novčanik

• Casa Keymaster Multisig —  interfejs koji je jednostavan za korišćenje, možete birati postavke 2 od 3 i 3 od 5. Oni imaju alat za samooporavak, međutim ovo nisam lično koristio, i želeo bih da obavim više istraživanja pre nego što dam pravu preporuku.
• Unchained Capital’s Multisig —  interfejs koji je jednostavan za korišćenje, postavka 2 od 3, može pristupiti finansijskim uslugama zasnovanim na vašem BTC u depozitu.
• Self Hosted Multisig —  korisnici takođe mogu da kreiraju sopstvene multisig postavke. Ovo zahteva mnogo veće tehničko znanje u poređenju sa Unchained i Casa, međutim, ne žrtvujete nikakvu privatnost.

Protip: Rapodelite sredstva koja želite da skladištite dugoročno. Ako imate značajan deo svoje neto vrednosti u Bitcoin-u, u vašem je najboljem interesu da raspodelite svoj ulog. Ovo umanjuje vaš rizik, što smanjuje šanse da budete izbrisani. Na primer, trećinu svog Bitcoin-a čuvajte sa Casa multisig-om, drugu trećinu sa Unchained Capital Vault-om, a preostalu trećinu na hardverskom novčaniku (Cold Card, Ledger ili Trezor).

Da Zaokružimo Priču

Ovo je moj rezime vaših mogućnosti izbora Bitcoin-ovih novčanika i kako odabrati pravi od njih uzimajući u obzir privatne ključeve, načine i stepen zaštite i sigurnosti koji oni pružaju. Ako ste i dalje zastrašeni, bez brige. Preporučujemo da preuzmete kontrolu nad vašim Bitcoin ključevima samo kada budete sigurni u uslugu koja vam se pruža. Ali vas podstičemo da i dalje razmatrate jedinstvenu priliku koju vam pruža Bitcoin: mogućnost da imate apsolutnu kontrolu nad svojim bogatstvom.

Samostalno čuvanje je vremenom sve lakše i lakše. Razmotrite svoju situaciju i odaberite način čuvanja koji najbolje odgovara vama. Ovde sam da vam pomognem, i slobodno mi se obratite sa svim pitanjima koja vas zanimaju.

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.

Considerações finais

Neste artigo você pôde aprender os conceitos básicos da Private Law Society, motivos de certas escolhas de design, viu exemplos práticos de casos de uso e um pouco das bases filosóficas que norteiam o ecosistema da PLS. Também pôde compreender um pouco mais sobre o conceito de WoT na PLS e como isso pode ser útil com o passar do tempo e a adesão de novos usuários no sistema.

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.

1. Šta je blockchain?
2. Kako mogu da saznam više o Bitcoin-u?

Ukoliko niste pročitali naš uvodni tekst o Bitcoin-u, i zašto vam je važno da to učinite, onda prvo pročitajte: Šta je Bitcoin i kako on može da nam pomogne?

Bitcoin, sa velikim B na početku, odnosi se na mrežu računara koji održavaju knjigu stanja na akauntima bitcoin digitalne valute, slično kao što banke održavaju knjigu stanja na računima dolara, eura ili neke druge valute. Bitcoin softver, odnosno protokol, takođe omogućava korisnicima da putem interneta pošalju bitcoin-e sa svog akaunta na drugi akaunt, slično PayPal-u ili Venmo-u, ali bez kompanije koja pruža uslugu prenosa. Bitcoin softver je otvorenog koda, tako da svako može da ga pokrene na svom računaru i da se pridružiti mreži.

Najbolji način da se razume kako Bitcoin funkcioniše “iznutra” je da ga zamislimo kao finansijski sistem. Naš trenutni finansijski sistem, koji uglavnom koristi dolare, eure, dinare i druge valute kao „novac“, izgleda otprilike ovako:

Centralne banke i vlade proizvode i distribuiraju novac pozajmljujući ga ljudima, i trošeći ga na oružje, puteve i socijalne programe. Ovaj sistem se naziva sistemom zasnovanom na dugovima, jer svaki put kada banka da zajam, stvara se nova valuta koja ranije nije postojala. Ova valuta ima vrednost jer dug koji ju je stvorio ima vrednost: primalac zajma obećava da će otplatiti svoj dug banci, plus kamate.

Kad god banka odobri kredit, ona stvara novu valutu. Ovo takodje važi i kada podignete hipoteku ili kredit za auto. Takođe se primenjuje i kada Američke Federalne Rezerve kupuju državne obveznice od vlade Sjedinjenih Država. U svakom od ovih slučajeva, banka šalje novonastalu valutu primaocu zajma. Primaoc zajma obećava banci da će u budućnosti vratiti tu valutu, plus kamate. Međutim, ulaz nove valute u sistem znači i da opada vrednost postojeće valute koja je u opticaju. To se dešava kroz proces koji se obično naziva inflacija.

Da bi imali koristi od pogodnih usluga koje nude banke, poput kreditnih kartica i digitalnih transfera novca, normalni ljudi i preduzeća obično novac drže na bankovnim računima. Svaka banka poseduje svoju knjigu sa računima svih svojih klijenata.

Banke su neophodne da bi omogućile digitalna plaćanja koja vršimo svakodnevno, jer su nam potrebne pouzdane strane koje bi proverile da li se sav računovodstveni sistem sabira. U suprotnom, bilo bi lako da neko uradi “copy-paste“ jednog dela digitalnog novca i da ga potroši dva puta, ili da doda par nula na stanje svog računa.

Sada razumemo nekoliko ključnih tačaka o trenutnom sistemu zasnovanom na dugu: banke proizvode novu valutu svaki put kad pozajmljuju novac, a većina ljudi svoj novac čuva u bankama koje im nude pogodnosti.

Bitcoin je malo drugačiji. Hajde da započnemo ovo putovanje sa pitanjem.

Šta ako bi svi posedovali knjigu stanja na računima, baš kao i banka?

Umesto da banke poseduju po jednu knjigu depozita svojih klijenata, šta ako svi poseduju istu knjigu, sa detaljnim opisima svih stanja na računima svih učesnika u ekonomiji? O privatnosti ne morate da brinete ni na trenutak – to ćemo objasniti kasnije.

Hajde da vidimo kako bi transakcija mogla da se izvrši koristeći ovakav bankarski sistem. Recimo da Ana želi da plati Davidu 10 digitalnih „novčića“. Ona tu transakciju zapisuje u e-mail, potpisuje je digitalno kako bi svi bili sigurni da e-mail dolazi od stvarne Ane, i šalje ga svima ostalima. Kada ostali prime taj e-mail, oni ažuriraju svoje knjige, tako što skinu 10 novčića sa Aninog računa i dodaju 10 novčića na Davidov račun.

Zašto bi se neko trudio da evidentira transakciju u svojoj knjizi?

Recimo da će prva osoba koja izvrši sledeće korake dobiti 5 novčića:

1. Proverom da li je prava Ana potpisala transakciju
2. Proverom da li Ana ima dovoljno sredstava na svom računu da plati Davidu 10 novčića
3. Zapisivanje transakcije ukoliko ispunjava uslove 1) i 2)

Primetićete da se ovo mnogo razlikuje od trenutnog monetarnog sistema. U novom sistemu morate da imate novčiće da biste mogli da ih date nekom drugom. Ne postoje banke sa posebnim privilegijama koje mogu da stvore valutu davanjem zajma.

Umesto da dozvoljava samo maloj grupi bankara da prave nove valute, novi sistem omogućava svima da kreiraju novu valutu ako pružaju korisnu uslugu mreži: verifikovanje i evidentiranje transakcija između ljudi. Nazvaćemo ovo nagradom za potvrđivanje.

Kako se svi slože oko pravila sistema? Ona su kodirana u softverskom protokolu otvorenog koda. To znači da svako može besplatno da preuzme pravila sistema sa interneta i da počne da ih koristi za zaradu valute u sistemu. Ako svi koriste isti skup pravila, njihove knjige će se sinhronizovati, jer će prihvatiti i odbiti potpuno iste transakcije.

• Otvoreni kod = svako može da preuzme kod i da ga pročita
• Softverski protokol = skup pravila napisanih u kodu

Kako zaustaviti ljude koji pokušavaju da prevare sistem da bi zaradili “nagradu za potvrdu”?

Recimo da Boris i Marko žele da se obogate – oni bi mogli jedan drugom da plaćaju po jedan novčić u krug, vodeći računa da neko od njih prvi zabeleži transakciju kako bi mogli da zahtevaju nagradu za potvrdu. Pomoću ove šeme oni bi u osnovi mogli da stvore (odštampaju) novu valutu, kad god oni to požele!

Softverski protokol to zaustavlja zahtevajući da osoba koja validira transakciju uradi neki „posao“ sa računarom kako bi je zabeležila. Ovo osigurava da računari moraju da troše energiju za zabeležavanje transakcija, pa bi u tom slučaju varanje sistema bilo veoma skupo. Borisova i Markova šema varanja sistema više nema finansijskog smisla. Da bismo demonstrirali ovaj proces, pogledajmo Filipa i njegov C-Bot računar. Filip je na svoj računar instalirao Bitcoin protokol, koji predstavlja Bitcoin-ov softverski protokol otvorenog koda koji sadrži pravila Bitcoin sistema.

Kako C-Bot Verifikuje Transakcije

Korak 1: Slušanje transakcija

Prvo, C-Bot sluša transakcije (skraćeno “txn”) koje Ana, Boris, Marko i David emituju putem interneta.

Korak 2: Stvara “Heš”

Drugo, C-Bot će prikupiti sledeće delove podataka:

• Sve Bitcoin transakcije koje ljudi šalju
• Tajni broj (objasnićemo kasnije)
• Nonce – neki slučajan broj

C-Bot sve ovo stavlja u heš mašinu. Mašina za heširanje uzima sve ove podatke i proizvodi 256 bitova (bitovi su 1 i 0) koji se jedinstveno uklapaju u te podatke, nazvane ‘heš’. To heširanje je poput otiska prsta podataka. Uvek ćete dobiti isti heš sa istim ulaznim podacima. Mašina za heširanje je takođe jednosmerna: lako je stvoriti heš od nekih podataka, ali ne možete da stavite heš u mašinu i da vratite ulazne podatke.

C-Bot će iznova isprobavati svoju heš mašinu sa drugim nonce-om (slučajnim brojem). Svaki put, on će proveriti da li je mašina proizvela heš za koji Bitcoin softverski protokol kaže da je tačan.

Ovaj proces pronalaženja heša troši puno vremena i energije. Mašina za heširanje je jednosmerna, tako da C-Bot ne može tek tako da stavi ‘tačan’ heš u mašinu i otkrije ulazne podatke. Svaki računar na Bitcoin mreži takođe prolazi kroz ovaj proces pokušavajući da pronađe ‘ispravan’ heš.

Ukoliko bi ovi računari uspeli da pronađu ‘ispravan’ heš bez velikog trošenja energije, mogli bi da prevare sistem. Dva računara bi mogla da prosleđuju transakcije u krug, zarađujući bitcoin-e svaki put kada bi potvrdili transakciju.

Korak 3: Pronalaženje Ispravnog Heša

C-Bot konačno pronalazi heš koji zadovoljava pravila Bitcoin protokola koristeći sve nedavne transakcije. Sada ovaj blok podataka šalje na druge računare. Blok se sastoji od nedavnih transakcija, nonce-a i tajnog broja. Ti drugi računari stavljaju sve ove podatke kroz istu heš mašinu za sebe, da bi proverili da li je heširanje tog C-Bota tačno. S obzirom da znamo da računari ne mogu da varaju u ovoj igri, znamo da je C-Bot morao da izvrši neka izračunavanja sa svojom heš mašinom da bi pronašao ispravan heš.

Heš bloka C-Bota koji je poslat, sada postaje tajni broj koji ulazi u izračunavanje sledećeg bloka. Budući da heš svakog bloka u ‘blockchain-u’ bitcoin-a koristi heš poslednjeg bloka kao ulaz, bila bi potrebna apsurdna količina energije da se prepiše istorija transakcija (lanac blokova, eng. the blockchain)

Budući da se svačija stanja bitcoin-a zasnivaju na transakcijama na i sa njihovih računa, to takođe onemogućava izmenu bilo čijih stanja bitcoin-a.

Čitav ovaj proces poznat je pod nazivom rudarenje bitcoin-a. Svaki računar na mreži pokušava da proba nove podatke kroz heš mašinu, bilione puta u sekundi.

Šta je blockchain?

Blockchain predstavlja istoriju Bitcoin transakcija, koja omogućava bilo kome da utvrdi svoje Bitcoin stanje.

• ‘Block – Blok’ = Grupa Bitcoin transakcija, nonce-a i heša prethodnog bloka
• ‘Chain – Lanac’ = Heš svakog bloka takođe koristi heš prethodnog bloka kao ulaz. Ovo povezuje podatke svakog bloka sa svakim drugim blokom, stvarajući chain – lanac.

Na blockchain-u, prava imena nisu povezana sa bitcoin-ima. Bitcoin-i su povezani samo sa slučajnim nizom brojeva i slova poznatim kao ‘javni ključ’. Ovo korisnike Bitcoin-a i njihova stanja čini poprilično anonimnima za sve koji vode knjigu.

Kada posedujete bitcoin-e, vi imate password za otključavanje vaših bitcoin bankovnih računa. Ovi računi postoje na hiljadama računara širom sveta koji pokreću Bitcoin protokol.

Kako mogu da saznam više o Bitcoin-u?

Ovaj članak vam je dao razumevanje o tome kako funkcioniše Bitcoin protokol i kako se osiguravaju njegova neverovatna svojstva.

Ako želite da saznate više, preporučujem vam ove izvore:

• Šta je Bitcoin i kako on može da nam pomogne?
• Zašto baš Bitcoin?

Ako vam se sviđa moj rad, molim vas da ga podelite sa svojim prijateljima i porodicom. Cilj mi je da svima pružim pogled u ekonomiju i na to kako ona utiče na njihov život.

Za one koji tek ulaze u igru sa kriptovalutama, šansa da vaša Bitcoin sredstva ne budu sigurna i zaštićena može biti pomalo zastrašujuća. Srećom, postoji mnogo user-friendly Bitcoin novčanika, i svaki od njih ima izvrsnu funkciju rezervne kopije, koja vam omogućava trenutan povraćaj Bitcoin sredstava, ako vaš uređaj na kome se nalazi novčanik ikada bude zagubljen ili izgubljen. Ova funkcija, poznata kao „seed fraza“, ili seed fraza za oporavak, predstavlja jedinstveni niz reči koje će vaš novčanik generisati, i koje deluju kao password za vaše lične Bitcoin podatke. Ovaj skup reči omogućava trenutni povraćaj vaših bitcoin sredstava.

Iako možete lako zapostaviti svoju seed frazu, misleći da ćete se kasnije pozabaviti sa njom, uvek je najbolje biti proaktivan kada je reč o osiguranju zaštite vaše fraze za oporavak. Fraza za oporavak je vaša rezervna kopija – pa iako vam neće trebati svaki dan, biće kritična u slučaju da vam se novčanik pokvari. Takođe, fraza za oporavak može da omogući svima pristup vašem bitcoin-u, pa je zato veoma važno da se ona čuva na sigurnom.

U ovom članku, prikazaću vam:

1. Spisak glavnih Bitcoin hardware novčanika koje možete koristiti za skladištenje vaših Bitcoin-a.
2. Sveobuhvatan pregled mnogih metoda koje možete koristiti za čuvanje vaše seed fraze
3. Razne prednosti i mane za svaku od njih
4. Saveti koje možete da koristite da biste maksimizirali ukupnu sigurnost svoje seed fraze
5. Kako sigurno čuvati vašu seed frazu
6. Kako proslediti svoj Bitcoin u slučaju vaše smrti

Kada završite sa čitanjem, trebalo bi da ste na dobrom putu da čuvate svoju seed frazu koristeći najsigurnija i najpouzdanija dostupna sredstva, obezbeđujući najveću zaštitu svojih Bitcoin sredstava bez obzira na to šta se sa vama ili vašim digitalnim uređajima dogodi u budućnosti. Za početak ćemo dati brzi pregled hardware novčanika i šta tačno predstavlja fraza za oporavak.

Koji Bitcoin Novčanici su Dostupni?

Ispod ćete pronaći listu od nekoliko najpopularnijih novčanika koji su dostupni danas. Softverski novčanici rade na vašem telefonu ili računaru, dok su hardware novčanici namenski delovi hardvera (poput specijalizovanog fleš diska) koji omogućavaju lak i siguran pristup vašem bitcoin-u uz jaku sigurnost.

Hardware (poput specijalizovanog USB fleš diska) i Software (na vašem telefonu ili računaru)

Svaki od ovih novčanika će vam dati seed frazu, koja se sastoji od 12 ili 24 reči, što će vam omogućiti pristup svim bitcoin adresama povezanim sa vašim novčanikom – a samim tim i svim vašim sredstvima.

Šta je Mnemonic Oporavak ili Seed Fraza sa 12 ili 24 Reči?

Najjednostavnije rečeno, seed fraza je niz određenih reči u kojima se nalaze sve potrebne informacije kako bi se u potpunosti povratila vaša Bitcoin sredstva. Koji god novčanik odlučite da koristite, generisaće jedinstvenu seed frazu, posebno za vas, a taj softver će vas uputiti da čuvate seed frazu na neki način, gde će biti dostupna u slučaju nužde. Seed fraza će biti jedinstvena i obično sadrži od 12 ili 24 reči, od kojih se neke mogu ponoviti. Pre nego što sačuvate seed frazu, pročitajte odeljak 4) sa našim savetima!

Seed fraza omogućava pristup vašim bitcoin sredstvima svima koji je poseduju- omogućavajući vam da povratite sredstava ako vam se novčanik pokvari, ili omogućavajući lopovu da dobije pristup vašim bitcoin-ima.

To čini vašu seed frazu vrednom poput zlatne poluge. Zbog toga je pravilno čuvanje vaše seed fraze veoma važno – morate uravnotežiti lak način oporavka i sigurnost protiv krađe i hakovanja. Međutim, s obzirom da je vaša seed fraza samo niz reči, ona se može snimati i skladištiti na mnogo jednostavniji način (i mnogo jeftinije!) od zlatne poluge – čineći je potencijalno mnogo sigurnijom.

Primarna svrha seed fraze je da ima neku vrstu fizičkog sredstva za povraćaj Bitcoin sredstava ako vas izneveri novčanik. To uključuje ako vam se sruši sistem na računaru, ako vam se ošteti hard disk, izgubite telefon ili razbijete hardware novčanik – u svakom slučaju gde vaš novčanik postane nepristupačan.

Seed fraze zasnivaju se na specifikacijama otvorenog koda kompatibilnim sa Bitcoin protokolom, što znači da dok god imate svoju seed frazu, možete koristiti mnoge druge vrste novčanika da biste povratili pristup svom bitcoin-u. Recimo da danas posedujete Trezor, ali za 10 godina vam se uređaj pokvari ili Trezor prestane da posluje – možete jednostavno kupiti drugačiji hardware novčanik ili skinuti novčanik na svoj telefon, i pomoću svoje seed fraze povratiti pristup svojim bitcoin-ima.

Kako seed fraza funkcioniše?

Seed fraze funkcionišu slično kao i bilo koji drugi oblik koda, pri čemu svaka reč predstavlja numeričku vrednost koju novčanik razume. Fraze se generišu nasumično na osnovu unapred određene baze reči. Iako ponekad imate mogućnost da smislite sopstvenu seed frazu, omogućavanje novčaniku da generiše seed frazu je najbolja opcija za vašu sigurnost.

Jedna od prednosti koja je svojstvena prirodi seed fraza je ta što se u njima koriste stvarne prepoznatljive reči na engleskom jeziku koje se mogu izvesti i upamtiti bez obzira na male greške kao rezultat ružnog rukopisa. Ovo je suprotno od mnogih drugih nasumično generisanih passworda, gde svaki karakter mora biti jasno čitljiv da bi se password mogao pravilno kreirati, jer su oni jednostavno niz slučajnih karaktera. Stoga seed fraze imaju i prednosti randomizacije, kao i prednosti lako prepoznatljivih i uobičajenih reči.

Zašto Niko Ne Može da Predpostavi Seed Frazu?

Mogli biste da pomislite da bi niz od 24 reči možda bio lak nekome da ga pretpostavi, ili da bi nekome bilo isplativo da napravi računarski ciklus mogućih kombinacija, dok ne pronadje novčanik koji sadrži neke bitcoin-e kako bi mogao da ih ukrade.

Reči za frazu za oporavak ili seed frazu dolaze sa liste koja se sastoji od 2048 reči – pa čak i seed od 12 reči za Bitcoin novčanik ima 2048^12 kombinacija ili 2^132. Procenjuje se da u univerzumu postoji 10^21 zvezda, pa je nepotrebno reći da ovo predstavlja mnogo mogućih kombinacija. Čak i kada bi svaki čovek na Zemlji danas imao 1.000.000 novčanika (čak i bez adresa), to bi iznosilo samo 7.800.000.000.000.000 novčanika – što je oko 2^53. Ovo čini negde oko polovine mogućih kombinacija, ali to bi sakrilo snagu eksponencijalnog rasta.

Kada bi svi na svetu imali po 1.000.000 bitcoin novčanika, mi bismo i dalje koristili samo 0.000000000000000000000001654% od svih mogućih novčanika. To je neuporedivo teže nego pronaći jedno određeno zrno peska u celokupnom pesku koji se nalazi na Zemlji.

Čak i taj pronalazak određenog zrna peska na ovoj plaži bila bi kao šetnja parkom nasuprot pogađanju bilo koje random seed fraze.

Dakle, prilično je sigurno reći da niko uskoro neće pokušati da pogadja bitcoin novčanike. Bila bi potrebna vojska računara i veoma dugačak vremenski period da se pronadje samo jedan novčanik sa sredstvima u tom prostranstvu.

Kako Čuvati Seed Frazu

Neverovatno je važno kako zapisujete i skladištite svoju seed frazu, s obzirom na ogromnu količinu moći koju će oni koji je poseduju imati nad vašim Bitcoin sredstvima. Takođe, budući da je poenta seed fraze da bude lako dostupna gde i kada vam zatreba, čuvanje na nekom sigurnom, ali i pristupačnom mestu, je neophodno. Specifična metoda koju koristite za transkripciju vaše seed fraze je takođe važna, bez obzira na to kako se čuva, jer se neke metode transkripcije pokazale mnogo sigurnijim od drugih.

Pogledajte naš odeljak sa savetima, pre nego što zapišete svoju seed frazu!

Preporučujemo vam da fizički sačuvate svoju seed frazu nakon što vam je softver ili hardware novčanik isporuči. Fizičko skladištenje čini vašu seed frazu manje otvorenom za hakere koji bi mogli da vam ukradu frazu za oporavak iz digitalne memorije vašeg računara ili pametnog telefona.. Međutim, mnogi ljudi će i dalje odabrati neki oblik digitalnih sredstava za čuvanje svojih seed fraza, bilo zato što je to dominantno sredstvo ili jednostavno kao dodatni oblik rezervne kopije. Hajde da pogledajmo kako fizička, a tako i digitalna sredstva koja možete koristiti za čuvanje vaše seed fraze, kako se ona koriste, i specifične prednosti i nedostatke svake od njih.

Zapisivanje Vaše Seed fraze – na Papiru ili Digitalno

Zapisivanje Vaše Seed Fraze na Papir

Naravno, najočigledniji metod unošenja vaše digitalne seed fraze u fizički svet je isti onaj metod koji biste obično koristili za unošenje bilo kog drugog oblika pisanja u fizički svet – olovkom i papirom. Jednostavno zapisivanje vaše seed fraze na papir u potpunosti može biti dovoljno da vam pruži sigurnost koju želite. Međutim, postoje neka upozorenja oko upotrebe olovke i papira koja ovu najjednostavniju metodu čine ne baš tako idealnom za čuvanje nečega toliko važnog kao što je seed fraza.

Kao prvo, sam papir je lako uništiv, a o mastilu da i ne govorimo. U slučaju poplave ili požara, papir će biti uništen, što znači da će i vaša seed fraza biti uništena zajedno sa njim. Naravno, ovo su loše vesti i za svakoga ko verovatno gubi i sav svoj hardver i opremu u požaru ili poplavi. Kao drugu stvar, papir je neverovatno lako zagubiti. Može se oduvati, pomešati sa otpadom ili jednostavno pomešati sa nečim drugim i negde izgubiti, i nikada ga više nećete videti. Iz ovih i više drugih razloga, oni koji žele da zapišu svoju seed frazu u fizički svet, često traže sredstva koja su izdržljivija i trajnija od papira.

Graviranje Vaše Seed Fraze na Čeličnoj Back-Up Ploči

Back-up ploče od nerđajućeg čelika su stvorene kako bi korisnici Bitcoin-a imali način da trajnije urežu svoje seed fraze u fizički svet od puke olovke i papira. Napravljene su od nerđajućeg čelika, na koje se vaša seed fraza može trajno urezati. Budući da je gravura napravljena na čeliku, ona će u slučaju požara ili poplave moći da traje mnogo duže od papira. Ploča može biti bilo šta, od male kartice koju možete držati u novčaniku do većeg komada koji se može trajno čuvati kod kuće ili u sefu.

Bilo koju veličinu pločice da izaberete, možete je kupiti zajedno sa alatima za samograviranje (koji nisu uvek u kompletu), što znači da korisnik ne mora da deli svoju seed frazu sa onima od kojih je kupio ploču. Budući da su ove ploče stvorene posebno za potrebe izdržavanja katastrofe, obično sadrže brojne garancije o njihovoj trajnosti, otporne su na bilo koje elemenate koje možete baciti na njih, od vode do vatre, kao i od prekomernog korišćenja i habanja.

Što se tiče back-up ploča od nerđajućeg čelika, svaki proizvođač nudi svoj jedinstveni spin. Pogledajmo 5 najboljih proizvođača back-up ploča od nerđajućeg čelika na tržištu i da vidimo kako su se pokazali:

Iako se generalno preporučuje da svoju seed frazu ne skladištite digitalno, oni koji su bolje upućeni u digitalnu bezbednost, ovo mogu videti kao floskulu koja se može ignorisati. Iako laici sigurno ne bi smeli da šalju i primaju svoje seed fraze e-mailom, pravilno digitalno kriptovanje i skladištenje sredstvima poput cloud-a ili USB fleš memorije mogu biti jednako sigurna i bezbedna sredstva za skladištenje, kao i fizička sredstva, poput čeličnih back-up ploča. Takođe, kada se oba sredstva koriste zajedno, to vam pruža krajnju mrežu rezervnih kopija u slučaju bilo kakvih hitnih slučajeva.

Kriptovanje možda nije nešto što je lako za svakoga, ali postoje mnoge treće strane koji će se pobrinuti da odrade kriptovanje za vas. Obavezno diskonektujte računar sa Interneta dok unosite seed u računar i izvodite kriptovanje – ne verujte online uslugama kriptovanja!

Odatle, na vama ostaje da odlučite kako ćete da je čuvate, bilo na cloud-u ili na USB fleš memoriji. Prednost čuvanja na cloud-u je u tome što podaci nisu povezani ni sa jednim fizičkim uređajem i može im se pristupiti sa bilo kog mesta pomoću passworda na cloud-u. Međutim, to takođe znači da su podaci nešto pristupačniji nego da se čuvaju na USB fleš memoriji. Zapamtite da ako se odlučite za USB fleš memoriju, ona možda neće moći da se izdrži protiv požara i vode, baš kao što to mogu prosti nefizički podaci na cloud-u. Fleš memorija koja se koristi na USB-u takođe nije dizajnirana da traje duže od 10 godina, pa imajte i to na umu.

Digitalno čuvanje seed fraze preporučujem isključivo informatičarima tj ljudima sa dosta iskustva u kriptiranju informacija. Za 99% nas čekič i čelična pločica koju čuvamo na 2 ili 3 mesta + dodatna 13. ili 25. reč je najbolje rešenje.

Gde i Kako Čuvati Svoju Seed Frazu

Bez obzira da li ste odlučili da svoju seed frazu sačuvate na čeličnoj ploči, USB-u ili jednostavno na parčetu papira, moraćete da je stavite negde – a idealno bi bilo da je stavite na više mesta u slučaju da se jedna uništi ili izgubi.

Najbolji savet koji mogu da vam dam je gde ne trebate da čuvate svoju seed frazu. Na kraju, mesto na koje stavite svoju seed frazu najbolje je da sačuvate za sebe, i zato evo nekoliko mesta na koja definitivno ne želite da stavite seed frazu, ako želite da izbegnete da upadne u pogrešne ruke.

Ne Čuvajte Svoju Seed Frazu u…

1. Sef u Banci: Izgleda kao odlično mesto, zar ne? Pogrešno – banke prave greške, a kako sefovi postaju sve manje popularni, one prave još više grešaka!
2. Sef u Kući: Opet se čini kao odlično mesto – međutim, ovo je prvo mesto koje će provalnik potražiti. Čak i ako ne mogu da otvore sef, većinu malih kućnih sefova moguće je lako premestiti i odneti u kolicima, i kasnije ih razbiti.
3. Ispod Kreveta ili Dušeka: Klasično mesto za skrivanje novca, takođe je jedno od prvih mesta koje će provalnik pogledati.
4. U Frižideru: Možda mislite da maskiranje vašeg seed-a u posudi za hranu izgleda kao dobar način zabune, ali ovo je uobičajena taktika za skrivanje dragocenosti, pa bi provalnici mogli potražiti i ovde.
5. Ormarić za Nakit ili Fioke za Veš: To su uobičajena mesta za čuvanje drugih vrsta dragocenosti, pa će ih provalnik brzo pokrasti.

Budite kreativni, ali ne toliko kreativni da izgubite seed frazu, jer ne možete da se setite gde ste je sakrili.

Takođe je važno razmotriti i mogućnost pravljenja rezervnih kopija vašeg seed-a na više lokacija. Na taj način, čak i ako je jedno mesto potpuno uništeno (recimo da vam oluja odnese kuću), i dalje ćete da imate vaš seed na drugoj lokaciji.

Shamir-ovo Tajno Deljenje – Širite Vašu Frazu za Oporavak

Shamir-ovo Tajno Deljenje (eng. Shamir Secret Sharing), je algoritam koji vam omogućava da svoj seed podelite na više seed-ova koji su sami po sebi beskorisni. Međutim, njihovim rekombinovanjem vratićete vaš seed za oporavak.

Ovo je dobar korak ukoliko želite da podelite vaš seed sa vašim advokatom, računovođom, članovima porodice itd. – jer obezbeđuje da niko od njih nema pristup vašem celom seed-u.

Način na koji Shamir deluje je to što deli vaš seed na više manjih seed-ova koje možete predati pouzdanim pojedincima. Kada postavite Shamir-ov backup, odlučujete koliko ‘deljenja’ želite da kreirate i koliko delova je potrebno za oporavak vašeg celog seeda – na primer, možete da napravite 5 deljenja i kažete da su bilo koja 3 dela potrebna za oporavak vašeg seed-a.

Neki hardware novčanici, poput Trezor Model T, podržavaju Shamir Backups na user-friendly način.

Saveti za Osiguravanje Vaše Seed Fraze

Postoji mnogo opštih stvari koje morate imati na umu kada je reč o držanju vaše seed fraze na sigurnom. Neke od ovih stvari su samo zdrav razum, dok većini ljudi možda ništa neće pasti na pamet bez nečije pomoći. Neće sve metode biti praktične za sve čitaoce, ali imajte na umu da što više bezbednosnih metoda vežbate, vaša seed fraza će biti sigurnija. Učinite koliko god možete da vaša seed fraza bude sigurna i ona će vam biti pri ruci kada vam zatreba.

Ne Pravite Slike ili Screenshotove Vaše Seed Fraze

Ne slikanje vaše seed fraze je dovoljno jednostavno. Svaka slika koju napravite stvara dodatnu spoljnu datoteku koja se može duplirati, izgubiti ili ukrasti. Što je manji digitalni otisak vaše seed fraze, to je bolje. Međutim, postoji mnogo različitih načina na koje se mogu ukrasti fotografije vaše seed fraze, što može iznenaditi prosečnog čitaoca. Prvo, hakeri i ostale treće strane mogu da preuzmu sliku vaše seed fraze putem sigurnosnih kamera, poput onih na bankomatima. Takođe, kamere na računaru, telefonu i drugim ličnim uređajima mogu predstavljati još veći rizik. Iz ovih razloga, umanjivanje ukupne vidljivosti i izloženosti vaše seed fraze, i pre i posle dokumentovanja u fizičkom svetu, je apsolutna potreba.

Ne Izgovarajte Svoju Seed Frazu Naglas – Nikad!

Ako ste ikada razgovarali telefonom i Google Assistant vas je prekinuo, onda znate da vas stalno slušaju. Bilo da ste napolju u javnosti ili ste sami kod kuće, treće strane slušaju. Ako su te treće strane zainteresovane, možda će moći da dobiju pristup vašim ličnim podacima. Iz tog razloga, uzdržavanje od izgovaranja naglas vaše seed fraze treba smatrati vitalnim delom zaštite vaše seed fraze. Lakše je špijunirati nekoga preko zvuka, nego što je to slučaj sa vizuelnim elementima, pa izgovaranje naglas vaše seed fraze čini je mnogo podložnijom presretanju od strane onih koji je mogu zloupotrebiti.

Ne Čuvajte Svoju Seed Frazu u Password Menadžeru

Čuvanje vaše seed fraze u password menadžeru može se činiti sigurnim i prikladnim načinom izrade rezervnih kopija, ali to nosi velike rizike. Seed fraza se mnogo razlikuje od password za recimo vaš Facebook nalog. To je zato što su passwordi samo alati za potvrdu identiteta za centralizovane usluge – što znači da ako izgubite pristup računu ili budete hakovani, možete kontaktirati broj podrške i proći kroz neke korake da biste povratili kontrolu nad svojim nalogom.

Kod Bitcoin-a, prema njegovom dizajnu, ne postoji broj podrške. Ne postoji centralna stranka koja kontroliše Bitcoin transakcije, čineći ga neverovatno slobodnim i otvorenim – ali to takođe znači da morate vrlo ozbiljno da preuzmete odgovornost za svoju seed frazu. Ako padne u pogrešne ruke jer je vaš password menadžer hakovan, možete izgubiti svoje bitcoin-e.

Ne Koristite Online Usluge Oporavka Seed-a

Ako vam neki website traži da unesete svoju seed frazu – čak i ako vam se čini kao pouzdan – dobro razmislite pre nego što to učinite. Većina „usluga online oporavka“ su maskirane prevare, usresredjene samo na kradju seed fraza nevinih ljudi! Ne budi jedan od njih.

Koristite Pristupnu Frazu(dodatnu reč) da Biste Dodali još Sigurnosti

Trezor podešavanje pristupne fraze | Ledger podešavanje pristupne fraze

Ako vaš novčanik podržava dodavanje pristupne fraze, trebalo bi da je koristite. Pristupna fraza je password koji dodate svom seed-u i funkcioniše kao 13. ili 25. reč u vašoj seed frazi. Zbog toga je vaš novčanik mnogo teže ukrasti. Ako se pristupna fraza čuva na drugačijoj lokaciji od vašeg seed-a, vaši bitcoin-i su sigurni čak i ako neko dobije pristup vašoj seed frazi.

Zaštitite Svoju Seed Frazu

Bez obzira da li svoju seed frazu čuvate u digitalnom oblaku ili na čeličnoj ploči, postojanje nekog načina čuvanja koji štiti seed frazu od elemenata kao što su požar i poplava, mora se smatrati obaveznim. Kao što je već rečeno, čelične ploče mogu se napraviti da izdrže većinu katastrofa, a skladištenje na cloud-u pruža nefizička sredstva koja mogu biti jednako sigurna kao i druga sredstva ako koristite pravu enkripciju. Upotreba jednog ili oba ova sredstva može vam pomoći da vam garantuje maksimalnu zaštitu bez obzira na to šta se dogodi.

Koristite Više Metoda za Pravljenje Rezervnih Kopija Kad God Možete

Korišćenje nekoliko različitih metoda za čuvanje vaše seed fraze ima puno prednosti, ali ima i neke nedostatke ako im ne pristupite sa dovoljno pažnje. Iako vam više načina za skladištenje pruža veću zaštitu, to takođe proširuje vaš celokupni profil, što znači da postoji više područja koja su otvorena za napad. Ipak, korišćenje najmanje dve odvojene metode za pravljenje rezervnih kopija obično se smatra dobrom idejom, jer imate rezervne kopije za slučaj da vam se nešto desi! Nikad ne znate šta će se dogoditi, a u tome i jeste poenta seed fraza.

Ograničite Pristup Vašoj Seed Frazi što je Više Moguće

Naravno, neki ljudi mogu da se odluče da svoju seed frazu podele sa pouzdanom trećom stranom, kao sredstvo radi osiguranja njene zaštite, ali, generalno, što je manji broj ljudi sa kojima delite svoju seed frazu, time bolje. Vaša je lična odluka s kim ćete deliti svoju seed frazu, i u vašem je najboljem interesu da to pravo mudro koristite.

Ne Pričajte o Količini Bitcoin-a Koje Posedujete

Nekima je ovo možda najteži savet, ali možda i najvažniji. Ako niko ne zna da imate bitcoin, i koliko ga imate, smanjujete verovatnoću da će neko pokušati da dodje do vaše seed fraze ili novčanika. Zato držite jezik za zubima!

Šta će se Desiti sa Vašim Bitcoin-om Nakon što Umrete?

Kao i sa bilo kojim drugim sredstvom, trebalo bi da imate predstavu o tome kako će se postupati sa vašim Bitcoin-om nakon što umrete. S obzirom da je ovo relativno nova tema, nema puno presedana kada je reč o prenošenju i nasleđivanju Bitcoin-a. Iako mnogi mogu da pomisle da moraju da angažuju advokata, prenošenje Bitcoin-a zaista podrazumeva samo puko prenošenje vaše seed fraze, zajedno sa nekim vašim konkretnim srestvima.

Prilikom pripreme za prosleđivanje vaše seed fraze u slučaju vaše smrti, važno je zapamtiti da prosledite i detaljan zapis o svojoj digitalnoj imovini. Za razliku od fizičkih materijala, digitalna sredstva se ne mogu lako kvantifikovati fizičkom procenom. Ukoliko nije svesna da postoji, ta osoba možda neće znati šta tačno prima. Stoga, ona možda neće zaista primiti ono što ste joj namenili da nasledi. To je takođe razlog zašto bi svi trebali da drže svu svoju imovinu sažetom i što organizovanijom, u slučaju nužde.

Kako Koristite Seed Frazu za Oporavak Vašeg Novčanika?

Za većinu novčanika, upotreba seed fraze jednostavna je poput pritiskanja pravih tipki i kucanja iste. Odatle, seed fraza će vratiti sav sadržaj i podatke novčanika na bilo koji uređaj koji koristite. Na ovaj način, korišćenje seed fraze znači da možete imati novčanik kod sebe gde god da krenete, bez obzira na sve, čak i ako se novčanik izgubi ili uništi – sve što vam zaista treba je vaša seed fraza.

Opet, ne koristite nikakve online usluge za seed frazu! U najvećem broju slučajeva to su prevare.

Bez obzira da li koristite mobilni novčanik kao što je Muun ili hardware novčanik kao što su Trezor ili Ledger, sredstva za upotrebu vaše seed fraze su u osnovi ista – jedina razlika je hardver koji koristite za to. Kod aplikacija poput Muun jednostavno pokrenete aplikaciju i ona vam daje mogućnost oporavka prethodnog novčanika. Zatim ćete odabrati dužinu svoje seed fraze i uneti je tačno onako kako je prikazana.

Uz hardware novčanike poput onih koje je izradio Trezor, dobićete istu opciju za povratak kada pokrenete uređaj i instalirate firmware. Dobićete isti izbor da odredite dužinu svoje seed fraze, a zatim će zatražiti od vas da je unesete potpuno isto.

Ako je moguče uvjek koristite isti hardware/software wallet prilikom oporavka vaše seed fraze kao što ste koristili kad ste je pravili.

Ako je Vaša Seed Fraza Sigurna, Biće i Vaša Sredstava!

Na kraju dana, važno je da zapamtite da što više brige ulažete u pravilno skladištenje i zaštitu svoje seed fraze, to će vaša sredstva biti sigurnija i za vas i za vaše voljene. Digitalno doba predstavlja širok spektar novih opasnosti, a svet kriptovaluta je leglo za većinu njih.

Ako želite da preduzmete proaktivne mere u obezbeđivanju najveće zaštite vašeg bitcoin-a, čuvanje vaše seed fraze na sigurnom i pristupačnom mestu je neophodno. Vaša seed fraza možda sada ne izgleda kao velika stvar, ali će izgledati kao velika stvar kada dođe vreme da je upotrebite. Ukoliko želite da vi i vaša Bitcoin sredstva budete zaštićeni u slučaju nužde ili čak u slučaju vaše smrti, preduzimanje odgovarajućih sredstava za čuvanje i zaštitu vaše seed fraze je osnovni prvi korak.
