2025-06-06 13:37:58Es gibt Bibliotheken voll Literatur zur „Kunst“ der Kriegsführung. Dies hier ist ein Beitrag zu den Bibliotheken der Kunst Frieden zu führen. Denn Frieden ist nicht die Abwesenheit von Krieg. Sondern eine mindestens ebenso intensive Aktivität. Worin genau besteht sie aber? Ich glaube darin, weder nach der einen noch nach der anderen Seite vom Hochseil zu fallen. Denn vom Hochseil kann man immer nach zwei Seiten fallen. Das ist dann auch schon die Kernherausforderung: Gleichgewichthalten!
Es scheint zunächst ein ganz äußerlicher Auftrag. Es gibt immer und wird immer widerstreitende Interessen geben. Allerdings ist das nur die äußerste Zwiebelschale. Denn wenn wir die Sache etwas mit Abstand von uns selbst betrachten, werden wir in uns hinein verwiesen: Frieden kann nur von innen nach außen gestiftet werden. Wenn wir das Hochseil in uns suchen, was finden wir dann? – Zweifels ohne, wissen wir von uns, dass wir nicht jeden Tag unser bestes Selbst sind. Würde es sich nicht lohnen etwas genauer über die Möglichkeit nach zwei Seiten vom Hochseil zu fallen nachzudenken, zugunsten der eigenen Balancierfähigkeit?
Wir sind daran gewöhnt zu denken dem Guten steht das Böse gegenüber. Daraus ziehen ja alle Western und Martial Arts Streifen ihren Plot: Der Gute bringt den Bösen um die Ecke und damit hat wieder mal das Gute gesiegt. Wir bewerten das „um die Ecke bringen“ unterschiedlich, je nach dem, von wem es kommt.
Ich möchte einen neuen Gedanken vorschlagen über unser Inneres, über Gut und Böse nachzudenken. Denn, wie gesagt, vom Hochseil kann man nach zwei Seiten fallen. Und es hat immer drastische Wirkung. Wo kommen wir also hin, wenn wir sagen: Frieden ist immer ein Gleichgewichtszustand, ergo eine Zeit der Mitte?
Sagen wir Toleranz ist ein erstrebenswertes Ideal. Dann würden wir sicher sagen Engstirnigkeit ist das Gegenteil davon und alles andere als Wünschenswert. Ja, so ist es gewiss. Und es bleibt hinzuzufügen, auch Beliebigkeit ist das Gegenteil von Toleranz. Denn es gibt eine Grenze, wo Toleranz nicht mehr Toleranz ist, sondern Beliebigkeit, ein „alles ist möglich“. Ähnlich können wir es für Großzügigkeit denken: Großzügigkeit ist ein erstrebenswertes Ideal. Ihr Gegenteil ist Geiz. Ihr anderes Gegenteil die Verschwendung. Oder Mut. Mut ist ein erstrebenswertes Ideal. Feigheit sein Gegenteil. Sein anderes Gegenteil ist Leichtsinn. Mit andern Worten: Das Ideal wird immer zum Hochseil. Und wir können immer nach zwei Seiten von ihm fallen. Wenn wir diesem Gedanken folgen, kommen wir weg von der Gut-Böse-Dualität. Und stattdessen zur Frage nach dem Gleichgewicht. Zur Frage nach der Mittezeit.
Natürlich steht es uns frei all das zu denken. Oder auch nicht zu denken. Denn selbstverständlich ist es möglich es nicht zu denken und bei einer Dualitätsvorstellung festhängen zu bleiben. Es wird uns nur nicht helfen Frieden zu denken und in Frieden zu handeln. Wenn wir wollen können wir durch das Aufspannen einer Trinität einen neuen Raum eröffnen und betreten. In ihm wird Frieden aktiv führbar, denn er wird eine Gleichgewichtssituation in uns selbst! – Nicht eine, sich einander gegenüberstehender äußerer Mächte!
Gehen wir noch einen Schritt weiter in unserer Betrachtung, können wir feststellen, dass es durchaus einen Unterschied macht nach welcher Seite wir runter fallen. Denn auf der einen Seite ist es immer eine Verengung: Engstirnigkeit, Geiz, Feigheit in unseren Beispielen. Auf der anderen ist es immer eine Zersplitterung oder Versprühung. In unseren Beispielen Beliebigkeit, Verschwendung und Leichtsinn. Und das erstrebenswerte ist eben immer die Mitte, das von uns ständig aktualisierte Gleichgewicht.
Das interessante ist, wo diese Mitte liegt, lässt sich niemals statisch festlegen. Sie ist immer dynamisch. Denn sie kann zu unterschiedlichen Momenten an unterschiedlicher Stelle liegen. Es ist immer ein Ich, das sich in Geistesgegenwart neu ausbalanciert. Und darum ist Frieden so schwer. Wir werden ihn niemals „haben“, sondern ihm immer entgegen gehen.
Der Kriegsruf ist nichts anderes, als ein Versuch von denen, die vom Hochseil gefallen sind, uns auch herunter zu kicken.
Netter Versuch. Wird aber nichts!
In der Nussschale: Die Dualität auflösen in die Trinität der balancierenden Mitte zwischen der Geste der Versteinerung und der Geste des Zerstäubens oder Zersplitterns. Die dynamische Qualität der Mitte bemerken. Oder, tun wir es nicht, ist das gleich der erste Anstoß, der uns wieder zum Wackeln bringt. Und des Ich´s gewahr werden, das balanciert. Frieden führen ist eine Kunst.

2025-06-06 13:32:12Wir verfolgen die Frage, ob der Funktionslogik der Macht ein Schnippchen zu schlagen ist. Dazu ist es notwendig zu untersuchen, ob sich überhaupt undifferenziert nach „der Zukunft“ fragen lässt? Und es damit auch möglich wäre so allgemein zu antworten. Durch genauere Betrachtung des Problems kommen wir zu dem Ergebnis, dass es auf die allgemein und generell gestellte Frage keine gesellschaftlich fruchtbare Antwort geben kann. Dies ändert sich erst, wenn wir die Frage, und damit auch die Antwort, in Aspekte gliedern. Jeder der Aspekte bedarf einer selbständigen Bearbeitung. Dann erschließt sich die Möglichkeit das Problem der Funktionslogik der Macht durch methodische Differenzierung in der gesellschaftlichen Willensbildung zu lösen.
Prelude
Davon, wie wir die Welt verstehen, hängt ab, wie wir handeln. So gesehen ruft die Frage „Zukunft?“ nach der Frage „Wie verstehen wir die Welt?“. Ein Teil der Welt ist unsere Gesellschaft. Welche Paradigmen legen wir dem Verständnis unserer Gesellschaft zugrunde? Denn von den Paradigmen hängt ab, zu welchen Schlüssen wir kommen und welche Gestaltungsideen für die Zukunft wir haben. Ida Rolf – die Erfinderin der strukturellen Integration, heute besser bekannt als Rolfing – fasste das mal in das schöne Bonmot: „Wenn wir von Großvaters Prämissen ausgehen, kommen wir zu Großvaters Schlüssen.“
Die wichtigste und allgemein anerkannte Prämisse in Bezug auf die Gestaltung unserer Gesellschaft ist die, dass überall „Demokratie“ herrschen müsse und jeder im Grundzug doch wisse, was damit gemeint ist. Dennoch ist es uns bisher nicht nachhaltig gelungen mit ihrer Hilfe das Problem der Funktionslogik der Macht, wie Rainer Mausfeld es nennt, zu lösen. Macht hat, einmal etabliert, immer die Tendenz die eigene Stellung zu festigen und sich auszubreiten, so stellt Mausfeld in seinem Buch Hybris und Nemesis[1] fest. Wenn das gilt, müssen wir irgendwie vor die Konstituierung der Macht kommen, um das Problem ihrer Funktionslogik zu lösen. Könnte es also sein, dass wir unser Demokratieverständnis runderneuern müssen?
Um diese Frage zu beantworten, wollen wir uns zunächst klar machen, was ein Systemverbund ist. Das wird uns helfen zu erkennen, dass die Entscheidung für die Demokratie eine Entscheidung für die Anwendung einer bestimmten Methode ist. Und dass diese Methode wie jede Methode Grenzen hat. Und es darum notwendig ist unsere Bemühungen um die Gestaltung unserer Gesellschaft, um weitere Methoden zu ergänzen.
Ein Systemverbund
Ein Auto ist eine feine Sache. Wir können uns hinein setzen und in Urlaub fahren. Damit das geht, wurden verschiedene Systeme zusammen gefügt. Ein System für die Beschleunigung: der Motor mit Kraftstoffversorgung, dem Getriebe, dem Gaspedal usw. Ein System, um gezielt Entschleunigen zu können: die Bremsbeläge, die Bremsscheiben, die hydraulische Druckübertragung, das Bremspedal usw. Und eines, das die Steuerung erlaubt: das Lenkrad, das Übertragungsgestänge usw. Jedes System hat eine bestimmte Funktion. Es ist auf seine Funktion hin angelegt und ist um seiner Funktion willen in den Systemverbund aufgenommen.
Das Antriebssystem, das Bremssystem und das Lenkungssystem sind in sich selbst schlüssige Systeme. Sie folgen ihrer eigenen Logik und müssen aus ihr gedacht werden. Jedem der Systeme liegt ein autonomer Gedankenzusammenhang zugrunde. Und es ist klar, dass wir keines der Systeme missen können, wenn wir wohlbehalten ans Ziel kommen wollen. Es reicht nicht Gas geben zu können, obwohl wir das im Eifer des Alltags manchmal vergessen und einfach nur los wollen. Neben der Möglichkeit Gas zu geben, brauchen wir die Möglichkeit der gezielten und dosierten Abbremsung. Ebenso, wie die Möglichkeit der eindeutigen Lenkbarkeit unseres Gefährts. Jede der genannten Funktionen wird durch eines der Systeme erfüllt. Alle zusammen machen erst ein Auto aus, das den Fahrer sicher ans Ziel bringen kann. Die dazu notwendigen Funktionen lassen sich nur durch das Zusammenfügen verschiedener Systeme zusammenbringen.
Ein Auto ist ein Beispiel für einen Systemverbund: Mehrere in sich selbst schlüssige Systeme stehen in einem Zusammenhang, der als Ganzes wieder in sich selbst schlüssig und darum funktionstüchtig ist, weil jedes System seinen je spezifischen und unentbehrlichen Beitrag leistet. Etwas anders gesagt: ein Systemverbund ist ein Verbund verschiedener Funktionen. Durch das Zusammenspiel wird etwas möglich, was anders nicht zu erreichen ist. In unserem Beispiel die gezielte und sichere Fortbewegung zu Land.
Der Sinn und die Schlüssigkeit, die jedem der einzelnen Systeme innewohnt erklärt sich allein aus ihm selbst. Ein Lenkungssystem ist nicht aus der Logik eines Antriebssystems zu verstehen. Warum? Weil es eine ganz andere Idee ist „Fortbewegung zu veranlassen“ als „Bewegung gezielt zu lenken“. Jedes System ist darauf angelegt seine spezifische Funktion zu erfüllen. Diesen Grundgedanken müssen wir konsequent bis in die Technik zu Ende führen.
So offensichtlich ein System auf seine eigene Funktion hin zu Ende gedacht und mechanisch umgesetzt werden muss, so selbstverständlich darf es nicht mit den anderen Funktionen interferieren. Es darf z.B. im Getriebe – das Teil des Antriebs ist – nicht irgendwo einen Abzweig geben, der unmittelbar zur Lenkung führt, dorthin Kraft überträgt und diese dadurch beeinflusst. Wäre dem so, würde es ziemlich gefährlich, weil weder Lenkung noch Antrieb zuverlässig ihre Bestimmung erfüllen. Eben so wenig darf es einen Zusammenhang zwischen den Leitungen der Bremshydraulik und Kraftstoffzufuhr geben. Auch das würde dazu führen, dass weder das eine, noch das andere System funktioniert.
Zugegeben, ein Auto ist deutlich komplexer als das Zusammenspiel der drei genannten Systeme. Sie alleine machen bestenfalls ein Rohauto aus. Mit Antrieb, Lenkung und Bremsen (plus einem weiteren System, der tragenden Plattform) zu einem Systemverbund zusammengefügt, können wir aber durchaus schon losfahren und im Urlaub ankommen.
Was gewinnen wir mit dieser Auto-Betrachtung?
- [x] Zunächst die Einsicht, dass in einem Systemverbund mehrere Systeme unterschiedliche Funktionen im gegebenen Zusammenhang erfüllen.
- [x] Des weiteren gewinnen wir die Einsicht, dass die einzelnen Systeme ihre jeweils eigene, nur ihnen inhärente Logik haben. Das liegt nahe, da sie ja je spezifische Funktionen erfüllen müssen. Ihre Logik ergibt sich aus ihrer Funktion.
- [x] Und wir gewinnen die Einsicht, dass der unmittelbare Übergriff eines Systems auf ein anderes zerstörerisch Wirkt.
Zusammengefasst: Ein Systemverbund tut seinen Dienst, wenn die einzelnen Systeme, aus denen er besteht, nur aus ihrer eigenen Funktion heraus gedacht und gebaut sind. Und diese nicht in den Funktionsbereich der anderen Systeme übergreifen. Nur so kann jedes System seine Funktion zuverlässig zum Ganzen beitragen, damit dieses seine ihm zugedachte komplexe Aufgabe erfüllen kann.
Wo die Fahrt hin gehen kann
Wohin die Fahrt gehen soll, ist damit noch nicht gesagt. Allerdings schon, ob sie überhaupt angetreten werden kann. Die Frage des Wohin lässt sich durch Systembetrachtungen nicht beantworten. Dazu müssen völlig andere Aspekte ins Auge gefasst werden. Und insofern wir nicht allein unterwegs sind, stellt sich die Frage, wer eigentlich darüber bestimmen soll?
Genau da kommt die Demokratie ins Spiel; und üblicherweise eben alleine. Denn sie ist der allein anerkannte Weg der gesellschaftlichen Willensbildung, also Entscheidungsfindung. Die Frage „wo soll die Fahrt hingehen?“ könnte demnach ihr Gegenstand sein. Oder anders – auf der Paradigmenebene – ausgedrückt: Demokratie ist Ausdruck des Mehrheitswillens unserer Großgemeinschaft Staat. Was wir durch sie erreichen wollen, ist eine durch die Mehrheit geschaffene Gestaltung des Gemeinwesens.
Wir meinen im Allgemeinen, dass Demokratie grundsätzlich die einzige Art ist, wie ein gemeinsamer Wille gebildet werden kann. Es soll hier aber die Frage gestellt werden, ob dieses Paradigma uneingeschränkt gilt. Denn sonst erleiden wir womöglich das Schicksal derer, die auf eine nicht gestellte Frage natürlich auch keine Antwort erhalten. Als Resultat tritt Bewusstseinsblindheit auf. Also: Welche Art von gemeinsamem Willen kann Demokratie überhaupt bilden und welche nicht? Denn es ist alles andere als evident, dass es grundsätzlich nur eine Art des gemeinsamen Wollens geben kann.
Willensbildung Klappe 1
Damit sind wir also endlich bei der Frage nach unserem Demokratieverständnis angekommen. Reicht das übliche Verständnis, das wir von Demokratie haben, um eine Gesellschaft als Ganzes zu gestalten? Oder wäre der demokratische Prozess – um an unseren Vergleich mit dem Systemverbund Auto anzuknüpfen, wobei wir an Stelle der Systeme die Methoden der Willensbildung setzen – eher als ein System zu verstehen, das also nur seine Funktion beisteuern kann. Das aber erst zusammen mit anderen Systemen, die jeweils ihre Funktionen beisteuern, einen Systemverbund bilden kann, der die komplexere Funktion der Gesellschaftsbildung möglich macht?
Welche Funktion erfüllt Demokratie? Oder sagen wir etwas vorsichtiger: die Erfüllung welcher Funktion erwarten wir von ihr? Das methodische Konzept der Demokratie ist das Feststellen des Mehrheitswillens. Das Abstimmungsprinzip aber löscht im Ergebnis den Willen des Einzelnen aus und stellt ihn unter ein allgemeines, abstraktes Gesetz. Es ist notwendig ein Rasenmäherprinzip: Als Abstimmender bin ich Rasenmäher, als der vom Beschlossenen betroffene, bin ich der Rasen. Das Abstimmungsprinzip gibt mir wie jedem anderen das Recht mitzubestimmen und nimmt mir das Recht über das Entschiedene allein zu entscheiden. Es macht gleich, denn es zählt nur die Mehrheit. Gesellschaftlicher Friede ist gewährleistet, wenn die so beschlossenen Gesetze für alle gleichermaßen gelten und es keine Privilegien oder Korruption gibt. Die große Forderung einer allgemein anerkannten Rechtsordnung, die Sicherheit durch Gleichheit vor dem Recht garantiert, ist, was wir mittels der Demokratie zu erfüllen suchen. Darauf beruht ihre Stärke. Und damit erfüllt sie die Funktion, die wir von ihr erwarten. Denken wir das in sich selbst zu Ende, macht es Sinn. Die methodische Eigenheit des Abstimmungsprinzips ein Rasenmäherprinzip zu sein, macht uns alle gleich. Mit andern Worten, legt das Abstimmungsprinzip mit seiner gesetzschaffenden Kraft die Grundlage für Sicherheit durch eine Rechtsordnung, die die Forderung nach Gleichheit vor dem Recht erfüllt. Das Abstimmungsprinzip ist also methodisch geeignet einen ganz spezifischen Beitrag zu unserer Gesellschaft als ganzer zu leisten: Die Gesetzgebung zu unserem Gesellschaftsbau beizusteuern.
Bleibt die Frage, wo die Grenzen dieses Prinzips verlaufen. Wenn wir diese essentielle Frage nicht stellen, laufen wir Gefahr kein Bewusstsein dafür zu haben, wenn das demokratische Prinzip in noch zu ortende andere Lebensbereiche funktionswidrig übergreift. Finden wir uns mit der Forderung nach Sicherheit durch Recht und Gesetz in unserem ganzen Sein wieder? Dass wir nicht ohne können und wollen ist klar. Aber ist das alles? Oder gibt es andere Seiten an unserem Wesen, die darum auch Platz haben müssen in unserem Gesellschaftsbau? Wir sagen ja auch nicht „danke, ich habe heute schon getrunken, ich muss heute nicht essen“. Wir trinken und wir essen, beides ist essentiell.
Es ist klar und offensichtlich: Wenn das Schaffen von Recht die angestrebte Funktion des Abstimmungsprinzips ist und sie sauber durch die Gleichheit vor demselben erfüllt werden soll, muss die Methode des Mehrheitsprinzips an der Erfüllung jeder jenseits dieser Forderung liegenden Funktion scheitern.
Aber gibt es überhaupt etwas, was jenseits liegt? Na klar! Denn ebenso, wie wir eine Seite an uns haben, von der wir Gleiche unter Gleichen sind, haben wir eine Seite an uns, von der wir im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes voneinander abhängig sind. Wir hören das in unserem modernen Unabhängigkeitsbewusstsein natürlich nicht gern. Aber es ist so: Es gibt eine Seite an uns, die uns schlicht und einfach komplett abhängig voneinander macht. Hier muss der eine für den anderen tätig werden. Ein durch das demokratische Abstimmungsverfahren geschaffener, abstrakter Ordnungsrahmen allein muss nach dieser Richtung hin zwangsläufig versagen.
Willensbildung Klappe 2
Haben Sie sich mal gefragt, was eigentlich passieren muss, damit ein Auto zustande kommt? Für ein Auto habe ich leider kein plastisches Beispiel zur Hand. Für ein Smartphone schon. Vaclav Smil schreibt dazu in seinem Buch Wie die Welt wirklich funktioniert[2]: „Apples in den USA entworfene iPhones werden in einer in taiwanesischem Besitz befindlichen Fabrik (Hon Hai Precision, an der Börse als Foxconn gehandelt) zusammengebaut, die in Shenzhen in der chinesischen Provinz Guangdong steht. Die Bauteile kommen dabei aus mehr als einem Dutzend Ländern, und die fertigen iPhones werden im Rahmen einer sorgfältig einstudierten Marketing-Choreografie weltweit vertrieben.“ Ohne dieses sich über den ganzen Globus erstreckende Zusammenspiel gäbe es dieses kleine Gerät nicht. Etwas spitz gesagt: Der Gedanke der Wirtschaft dadurch wieder einen menschlichen Anstrich zu geben, dass wir allein den Wert regionaler Kreisläufe betonen, ist nostalgisch und nicht realisierbar. Es entspricht nicht der Wirklichkeit, in der wir leben. Unsere arbeitsteilige Gesellschaft bringt notwendigerweise mit sich, dass wir umfassend füreinander arbeiten und also auch voneinander abhängig sind. Denn wir hätten nicht nur keine Smartphones, sondern auch keine Autoreifen und keinen Kaffee zum Frühstück, wenn wir ausschließlich oder auch nur überwiegend regional wirtschaften wollten. Es ist völlig klar, dass unser modernes Unabhängigkeitsbewusstsein – und mir geht es da auch nicht anders – Amok gegen diese Feststellung der totalen Abhängigkeit läuft. Der Gedanke ist einfach nicht auszuhalten. Doch drehen wir ihn einmal in sein positives Licht: Wir sind umfassend global miteinander verbunden und tragen gegenseitig zum Wohlergehen bei! Die Frage ist schon lange nicht mehr, ob wir weltweit verbunden sind. Sondern ausschließlich die, ob wir einsehen können, dass wir im Feld der Wirtschaft untrennbar miteinander verbunden sind. Und aus dieser Einsicht dann zu besseren Lösungsansätzen kommen können. Dass diese nicht aus dem methodischen Ansatz des Mehrheitsprinzips kommen können, das nur abstrakte Regeln aufstellen kann, liegt auf der Hand.
Für den wirtschaftlichen Prozess in Produktion, Handel und Konsumtion sind vielfältige Aspekte zusammenzutragen. Und diese Vielfalt darf gerade nicht verloren gehen. Und vor allen Dingen: Es braucht Fachkenntnis! Nicht jeder kann zu allem etwas sagen, sondern jeder nur zu dem, was er überblickt. Der methodische Ansatz muss also statt der eines nur formalen Abstimmens zu sein, einer sein, der erlaubt die konkreten verschiedenen Fähigkeiten und Lebenserfahrungen zu integrieren. Nur so gelangen wir in diesem Feld zu Entscheidungen, die der Sache dienen können. Die Methode muss das Zusammentragen von Einzelaspekten, die jeweils an verschiedenen Stellen gegeben sind, erlauben. Ein Modell dieser Art ist der Konsent (das t ist kein Tippfehler). Er erlaubt den kleinsten gemeinsamen Nenner zu bestimmen.[3] Diese „Methode des Zusammentragens von Einzelaspekten", also gegenüber der Abstimmungsmethode – die nur „Ja/Nein" abfragt – geänderte Fragestellung, verändert auch den daraus folgenden Prozess wesentlich. Er wird ein methodischer Prozess der fortwährend integrierenden, also einbindenden Steuerung. Und macht durch das fortlaufende Zusammentragen der verschiedenen Einzelperspektiven und Kenntnisse ein integriertes Urteil möglich. Nur diese Urteilsform erlaubt eine gemeinsame Willensbildung, die im Feld der Befriedigung unserer Bedürfnisse zielführend sein kann.
Neben der Forderung nach einer mehrheitlich anerkannten Rechtsordnung, die nach dem Gleichheitsprinzip realisiert wird und die wir methodisch korrekt mittels des Abstimmungsprinzips beantworten können, können wir nun auch die Forderung nach der Befriedigung unserer Bedürfnisse methodisch sauber beantworten. Das Prinzip der integrativen Urteilsfindung macht es möglich. Ein praktisches Beispiel dafür ist der Konsent-Prozess, wie er im Rahmen der soziokratischen Kreisorganisation in Unternehmen schon seit vielen Jahren geübt wird und methodisch voll entwickelt ist.[4]
Es ist eben irrtümlich zu meinen, dass das allein Entscheidende zur Vermenschlichung der Wirtschaft sei, sie zu regionalisieren. Entscheidend ist, ob nach dem integrativen Prinzip gehandelt wird. Das bringt die Wirklichkeit der weltweiten Arbeitsteilung mit sich. Wir müssen die notwendig von ihr bedingte Zerstückelung bewusst durch die Geste des Zusammenschlusses, der Zusammenarbeit überwinden. Sind wir so weit, ist es nicht so schwer einzusehen, dass hier auch ein anderes Prinzip der Willensbildung als das der Abstimmung greifen muss. Entscheidungen nach einem generalisierenden Mehrheitsprinzip bei dem jeder mitbestimmen kann, haben hier nichts zu suchen. Stattdessen kommt es, wie gesagt, auf eine integrative Urteilsfindung der Fähigen und der Betroffenen an. Was auf diese Weise zustande kommt, hat eine ganz andere Willensqualität. Diese ist nicht auf das Aufstellen von Regeln gerichtet, sondern auf die Gestaltung der Produktion und das Wahrnehmen der Bedürfnisse ausgerichtet. Nur ein Zusammenwirken und eine Entscheidungsfindung auf diese Weise kann unsere Bedürfnisse in der Fülle befriedigen, an die wir gewöhnt sind. Abstrakte Regeln, wie in der Planwirtschaft, als Handlungsanweisungen für wirtschaftliches Handeln sind absolut unproduktiv. Unser wirtschaftlicher Wille ist in die Befriedigung der konkret festzustellenden Bedürfnisse, also die Leistung von entsprechenden Produkten und Dienstleistungen eingespannt.
Die durch die Arbeitsteilung und sinnvolle Zusammenarbeit entstehende Rationalisierung, das sogenannte Kooperationsplus, welches durch die Kooperation entsteht und dadurch unseren Wohlstand ermöglicht, lässt sich übrigens als mathematisches Modell abbilden. Auf der Website www.farmersfable.org wird es anschaulich dargestellt.[5]
Willensbildung Klappe 3
Nun, damit, dass wir getrunken und gegessen haben, ist aber unser ganzes Wesen noch immer nicht vollständig umfasst. Es bleibt eine weitere Blickrichtung, der wir uns zuwenden müssen. Denn auch wenn wir schon getrunken und gegessen haben, müssen wir trotzdem atmen. Das Abstimmungsprinzip ist nach dieser Richtung genauso zum Scheitern verurteilt, wie das Prinzip der integrativen Urteilsfindung. Beide helfen nicht weiter. Das aus dem gleichen Grund, aus dem die Systeme der Be- und Entschleunigung eines Autos nicht die Funktion der Lenkung erfüllen können.
Um was handelt es sich? Wenn Sie jetzt grade diesen Essay lesen, können Sie das Erfassen und Bewerten der Gedanken, die ich Ihnen anbiete, nur ganz alleine leisten.
Wenn ein Autor seine Sache gut macht, schreibt er so, dass Ihnen das Gedankenerfassen leicht gemacht wird, egal, ob Sie ihm nun zustimmend oder ablehnend folgen. Aber ob Sie am Ende die dargelegten Gedanken erfassen, liegt ganz bei Ihnen. Es liegt allein in Ihrer Initiative. Genauso, wie nur van Gogh darüber entscheiden konnte, welchen Farbton er an eine bestimmte Stelle seines Bildes „Sternennacht“ setzte. Oder genauso wie Kopernikus sich zu dem Gedanken durchrang, dass die Sonne den Mittelpunkt unseres Planetensystems bildet. Es gibt einen Aspekt an uns, von dem wir weder Gleiche unter Gleichen sind, noch voneinander abhängig. Es ist der Aspekt unserer ursprünglichen schöpferischen Einmaligkeit. Keine Vorschriften, von außen aufgesetzte Regeln oder irgendwelche Abhängigkeiten helfen da. Der freie Geist will und kann nur aus sich selbst produktiv werden. Das zeigt sich schon am Erfassen eines einzelnen Gedanken. Ein Kulturleben und Bildungseinrichtungen, die diesen Namen verdienen, müssen dem gerecht werden.
Und insofern es hier um eine gemeinsame Willensbildung geht, kann sie immer nur auf freier Initiative und freiem Zuspruch beruhen und nicht auf demokratisch beschlossenen Programmen noch auf wirtschaftlicher Abhängigkeit. Denn diese Willensbildung muss zwangsläufig aus dem Innersten unseres Wesens kommen, sonst ist sie keine Initiative. Es ist eine Willensqualität, die weder in die Notwendigkeiten der Bedürfnisbefriedigung eingespannt, noch dem Rasenmäherprinzip abstrakter Gesetze unterworfen sein kann.
Wir haben es insgesamt also mit drei völlig unterschiedlichen Willensqualitäten und also grundsätzlich unterschiedlichen Arten der Willensbildung zu tun. Soll unser Gesellschaftsbau so geräumig und sinnvoll gestaltet sein, dass wir darin wirklich leben können, muss er dem gerecht werden. Wir müssen entsprechende Formen ausbilden:
- Wir müssen Räume schaffen, in denen der Wille, der der Bedürfnisbefriedigung dient und in sie eingespannt ist, Platz finden kann.
- Und andere Räume, in dem der Wille, sich in einer Rechtsordnung einzufinden, die Sicherheit durch die Gleichheit vor dem Recht garantiert, sich ausleben kann.
- Und Räume, in denen der Wille unserer Individualität, schöpferisch in Freiheit der Entfaltung des eigenen Wesens entgegen zu streben, aufblühen kann.
Wollen wir in Bezug auf letzteres eine konkrete Forderung aufstellen, so liegt nahe Art. 7, Satz 1 des Grundgesetzes ins Auge zu fassen. Er lautet: „Das gesamte Schulwesen steht unter der Aufsicht des Staates.“[6] Das steht natürlich diametral gegen das Ergebnis unserer Untersuchung. Denn es heißt im Klartext ja nichts anderes, als „der Staat erzieht sich vormundschaftlich seine Bürger“. Was wieder nichts anderes heißt, als die Wesensentfaltung unter das Prinzip der Gleichheit zu stellen, die durch demokratisch beschlossene sog. Bildungsprogramme und weisungsgebundene Lehrkräfte realisiert wird. Das kann nicht gehen, weil wahre Entwicklung nur auf Initiative und Liebe zur Sache beruhen kann. Alles andere ist Dressur und Entmündigung. Statt einer Schulanwesenheitspflicht brauchen wir ein Recht auf Bildung unter frei gewählten Bedingungen! Das selbstverständlich nur hervorgehen kann aus einem allgemeinen Recht auf freies Geistesleben.
Wenn wir unser Gesellschaftshaus nicht so bauen, dass ein Raum des freien und also selbst organisierten Geisteslebens gesichert ist, werden wir immer in einer dahinvegetierenden Kultur leben, weil das einzig produktive Element derselben permanent ausgetilgt wird: Der freie, schöpferische und selbstverantwortliche Mensch.
Es gibt übrigens eine ganz friedliche Abkürzung in diese Richtung, insofern Sie selbst kulturell tätig sind: Lehnen Sie die Annahme jeder Zahlung von Steuergeldern ab. Das bewirkt Wunder!
Summa summarum
In der Erkenntnis der verschiedenen Willensqualitäten, die uns eigen sind, liegt des Rätsels Lösung für unsere gesellschaftlichen Konflikte. So gesehen stellt sich die Frage nach „der Zukunft“ nicht als einheitliche dar, sondern als in sich differenziert. Ergo muss auch die Aufforderung „Machen!“ sich differenziert zeigen. Denn davon, wie wir die Welt verstehen, hängt ab, wie wir handeln.
Das Mehrheitsprinzip liefert die Grundlage für eine allgemein anerkannte Ordnung, die Rechtssicherheit durch Gleichheit vor dem Gesetz hervorbringt und Mitbestimmung bei dessen Hervorbringung gewährleistet. Diese Rechtsordnung muss dann durch das staatliche Gewaltmonopol nach innen und außen geschützt werden. Selbstredend unter Einhaltung des Uno Gewaltverbots, wie es in der Charta der Vereinten Nationen Artikel 2 Nr. 4[7] formuliert ist. Und selbstredend unter Einhaltung des Aussagekerns bei Transposition auf das Innenverhältnis, also das Individuum.
Das Prinzip des integrativen Urteils schafft die Möglichkeit der zielführenden kooperativen Arbeit im Wirtschaftsleben, das die durch die Arbeitsteilung gegebene Zersplitterung der Gesellschaft überwinden kann. Not und Elend wären die Folge, wollte jemand versuchen alles zur Befriedigung seiner Bedürfnisse nötige selbst zu machen. Bis der Tag rum wäre, hätte er kaum seine nötigsten Grundbedürfnisse gestillt. Und selbst wenn, bliebe fraglich, ob er den Winter überleben würde, denn dafür müssten Vorräte angelegt werden, also mehr geleistet, als nur das tägliche Überleben. So sehr es gegen unser modernes Bewusstsein der Ungebundenheit auch verstößt: In der wirtschaftlichen Sphäre sind wir voneinander abhängig.
Das Prinzip des individuellen Urteils lässt uns über uns selbst hinaus wachsen. Es macht eine lebendige Kultur denkbar, die die Freiheit des Individuums im Zentrum hat und es weder durch Programme zwingt noch durch Finanzierungen verführt. Ein Anfang wäre, wie gesagt, die Ablösung der Schulpflicht durch ein Recht auf selbstorganisierte Bildung, das sich allgemein in ein Recht auf ein freies Geistesleben für jedermann fortsetzt. Welche Gestalt dieses Leben annimmt, ist – im Rahmen der Menschenrechte – natürlich eine ganz individuelle Entscheidung jedes einzelnen. Wes Geistes Kind wir sein wollen liegt in unserer eigenen Hand.
Grenzen der Mechanik
Mit unserem Blick auf einen mechanischen Systemverbund, das Auto, haben wir natürlich kurz gegriffen. Zu kurz, um die volle Wirklichkeit gesellschaftlichen Lebens zu erfassen. Denn wir sind lebendige Wesen. Also müssen wir unsere Gesellschaft auch lebendig denken. Andererseits hat die Beschränkung unseres Vergleiches auf das Feld der Mechanik den Vorteil, dass unmissverständlich deutlich wird: ein System muss seine Funktion zum Ganzen beitragen; das kann es nur, wenn es in sich schlüssig gedacht und gebaut ist. Und dadurch in der Erfüllung seiner Funktion mit den anderen Systemen zu einem komplexeren Ganzen werden kann.
Das gleiche gilt für Methoden: Methoden erfüllen Funktionen. Dass sie ihre spezifische Funktion erfüllen können, bringt zwangsläufig mit sich, dass sie andere nicht erfüllen können. Die Erkenntnis der unterschiedlichen Willensqualitäten macht eine differenzierte Antwort auf die soziale Frage möglich: Wir brauchen drei unterschiedliche methodische Ansätze, um unsere Gesellschaft als Ganzes menschenwürdig zu gestalten. Unterschlagen wir auch nur eine, leugnen wir einen Teil unseres Wesens. Setzen wir sie falsch ein hat es zerstörerische Wirkung. Das muss auf Dauer zu sozialen Verwerfungen führen, die sich im Innern oder Äußern als Unfrieden, ja Krieg, zeigen.
Ein Blick in den Rückspiegel
Zurückblickend können wir also feststellen, dass es möglich ist der Funktionslogik der Macht ein Schnippchen zu schlagen. Durch unsere methodischen Überlegungen kommen wir vor die Konstituierung einer sich zusammenballenden unterschiedslosen und darum krankhaften Macht. Am Ende stellen wir fest, dass die von Mausfeld konstatierte Funktionslogik der Macht nur unter der Voraussetzung eines undifferenzierten Menschen- und damit Gesellschaftsbildes gilt. Statt Macht als etwas zentral Einheitliches aufzufassen, erkennen wir die Notwendigkeit einer Gliederung unserer Gesellschaft in verschiedene Bereiche, in denen wir es mit verschiedenen Qualitäten von Willen zu tun haben.
Quellhinweis
Wir haben mit dieser Betrachtung Ideen des wissenschaftlichen Ansatzes der Dreigliederung des sozialen Organismus verfolgt. Der auf Rudolf Steiner zurückgehende Vorschlag Gesellschaft dreigegliedert zu verstehen ist mittlerweile über 100 Jahre alt. Steiner hat ihn zuerst in seiner Schrift Die Kernpunkten der sozialen Frage[8] ausgeführt und in einer ganzen Reihe von Vorträgen und Aufsätzen weiter erläutert.
Das Ideenfeld soziale Dreigliederung ist ein Erkenntnisansatz. Er eröffnet die Möglichkeit eines gemeinsamen Bewusstseins von den Bedingungen und Notwendigkeiten der verschiedenen Lebensfelder. Steiner hat immer wieder betont, dass sich die daraus ergebenden zeitgemäßen und praktischen Lösungen jedoch nur in der konkreten Situation finden lassen. So gesehen sind alle im Rahmen von Erörterungen der Dreigliederungsgedanken genannten Lösungsvorschläge nie mehr als Beispiele. Es liegt auf der Hand, dass dem so sein muss, denn es geht ja immer um gemeinsame Willensbildung.

BTCPay Server: The Backbone of Bitcoin Commerce, 2025The genesis story of BTCPay Server is without a doubt one of the most iconic moments in Bitcoin history. A single developer, feeling betrayed by Bitpay, a bitcoin payments processing giant and its attempt at co-opting Bitcoin, declared economic war on the company in a tweet that will never be forgotten by the Bitcoin industry; “This is lies, my trust in you is broken, I will make you obsolete.”
Nicolas Dorier went on to create one of the most widely distributed open source projects in the Bitcoin industry and perhaps the invoicing and payments industry as a whole: BTCPay Server. Much has been written about the context and motivation behind Dorier’s founding of the project — there’s even a documentary about it.
What’s seldom highlighted is how ambitious a project BTCPay Server is, how feature-rich it has become and how deeply integrated it is with the industry. In fact, it is easy to forget that as an open source project with no centralized database of users, BTCPay Server is both a massive privacy upgrade for its users and represents the removal of a fundamental middleman processing payments. As a result, Dorier and the BTCPay Server community have created a public goods infrastructure — a kind of commons of payment processing — that provides users real value by saving them fees, and providing them a much smoother user experience given that no personal information is required for the payments to flow.
Humbly described on their website as “a self-hosted, open-source cryptocurrency payment processor,” BTCPay Server is an invoicing and accounting system for merchants, a fully featured Bitcoin wallet with full node capabilities; on-chain, Lightning Network and Liquid Network support; hardware wallet support; and a modular plugin system. The plugins in particular extend the core of BTCPay Server into a wide range of niches. They also integrate into e-commerce giants such as WooCommerce and Shopify.
It is somewhat difficult to gauge the success and scope of BTCPay Server. Because it is a self-hosted platform that does not capture customer data of any kind — it has no central cloud service as other payment processors do — our view into its success is somewhat limited.
However, we can get a sense of their reach by proxy of other metrics, for example, their primary software repository has had over 170 open source contributors, with 8,393 commits at the time of writing.
As of 2025, BTCPay Server has had one million downloads directly from its GitHub repository, which does not account for cloud providers of the software as hosted by companies like Voltage or Lunanode. It is also often the case that one instance of BTCPay Server serves multiple merchants and hosts multiple stores simultaneously.
R0ckstardev, one of the top contributors to the project, told Bitcoin Magazine that there could be hundreds of thousands of instances of BTCPay Server running throughout the world. Tobe Chileta, a contributor to the project, also told Bitcoin Magazine that “of the seven continents of the world, I think it is only Antarctica that I haven’t seen someone run BTCPay server.” He added, “I’m certain we have merchants running in Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Europe and Australia.”
Companies
BTCPay Server’s website business directory, while far from exhaustive, covers hundreds of merchants onboarded. The BTCPay Server community also does regular case studies of user cohorts or major merchants that use the software, documenting their integration and story in their case studies page. It gives fantastic insights into a variety of Bitcoin communities throughout the world and includes useful guides on how to replicate various results and implementations.
Namecheap, for example, boasted over 70 million dollars’ of bitcoin volume since their integration of BTCPay Server. From May 18, 2020, to October 2024 they clocked in 1.1m transactions in total with over 500,000 users paying in bitcoin, resulting in over $73 million in revenue through payments made from over 200 countries.
BTC Inc, the parent company of the biggest Bitcoin conference in the world, has for years been setting up BTCPay Server for its merchants, and even has a one-hour behind-the-scenes documentary on the complexities of setting up dozens of merchants at a conference (filmed during the Nashville 2024 Bitcoin conference). The event saw over 25,000 attendees, including the 47th president of the U.S., Donald J. Trump.
In this most recent Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, BTCPay Server was used to process a new world record of Bitcoin transactions within an eight-hour period, with 4,187 transactions in total. The initial target was 4,000 transactions and was set by the Guinness World Records organization.
Integrations and Plugins
One of the most important dimensions of BTCPay Server is its plugin system. Given the wide variety of ways companies can interact with Bitcoin, the developer community has optimized the BTCPay Server code toward a plugin model that developers can build for with a well-documented set of GitHub repos and an API. Today there are over 30 plugins available on BTCPay Server. Here are some of the greatest hits:
Boltz Swap Exchange Plugin
Boltz is an atomic swap exchange focused on the various Bitcoin layers such as Liquid, Lightning, Rootstock and of course Bitcoin on-chain. It has gained prominence of late as a very simple solution to the channel rebalancing challenges Lightning wallets face. R0ckstardev told Bitcoin Magazine that he is particularly impressed with the Boltz integration, and even tweeted as much earlier this year.
I've recently been going through the code of @Boltzhq plugin for @BtcpayServer, what jackstar12 & @kilrau have done there is an absolutely l33t engineering.
It's a literal crime against humanity that what they've done was not featured more in Bitcoin media.
— Uncle Rockstar Developer (@r0ckstardev) April 24, 2025
Branded as a noncustodial Bitcoin Bridge, Boltz allows users to swap between different Bitcoin layers while retaining maximum control of their funds, using atomic swap technology that eliminates third-party trust across crypto-native payments. For example, you can use Boltz via BTCPay Server to make a Lightning payment, where the sats are initially held at rest in a Liquid network wallet and are pulled from that balance by the Boltz plugin. The L-BTC is atomically swapped for sats on the Lightning Network via the Boltz exchange and the satoshis flow to the end recipient. This whole process is effectively noncustodial.
This is the same type of “lightning service provider” style infrastructure with which Breez wallet recently announced integration. While it is not quite as cheap as a user-operated Lightning node can be in the best of cases, it is far easier to set up and run — only demanding a few clicks on the BTCPay Server interface. As far as BTCPay Server is concerned, this Boltz plugin represents a full Lightning node, integrating natively with the invoicing and accounting layers.
This tech also scales quite well: One BTCPay Server admin can support many different merchants and not even have to run or manage a standard Lightning node, since the plugin supports automated liquidity management.
The Bolt Cards Plugin
The Bolt card, a company and product created by the Coincenter exchange, has come into prominence recently thanks to its unique graphics and the laser-eyes that light up on tap-to-pay. They, too, have a BTCPay Server plugin that lets users manage and connect these cool NFC cards to their wallets via the plugin.
BITCOIN IS MONEY.

2025-06-06 13:00:24Wie schon gewohnt durch die Empfänge von Baerbock und von der Leyen im Ausland, in Washington ein Empfang etwas oberhalb der 1. Class, von Staatsempfang keine Spur. Passt eigentlich auch nicht für den 51. Bundesstaat der USA. Aber immerhin flog die „Bundesrepublik Deutschland“ ohne Pannen, das ist ja auch schon mal was. Und bei solch einem erfahrenen Chef-Co-Piloten an Bord, der auch mal schnell einspringen könnte, sozusagen als 2. Wahl, kann eigentlich gar nichts mehr schief gehen. Vielleicht hat Fritzchen den Kapitän auch gefragt, ob er auch mal ans Steuer darf, wenn sich die Gelegenheit schon bietet.
Im Gepäck die eingerahmte Geburtsurkunde von Großvater Trump. Als ob Donald die sich nicht selbst besorgen könnte, wenn er Interesse daran hätte. Vielleicht hat er sie auch schon.
Die Übergabe, kurz und schmerzlos. Sie erinnert an einen Sketch von Loriot, „Weihnachten bei Hoppenstedts“:…oh, eine Krawatte! Der versprochene Ehrenplatz wird sich vermutlich in einer der unteren Etagen des Weißen Hauses befinden.
Man muss auch erst einmal darauf kommen, so typisch deutsch: Eine Geburtsurkunde als Geschenk. Das könnte man auch als einen Wink mit dem Zaunpfahl ansehen: Erinnere Dich an Deine deutschen Wurzeln (und lass uns gefälligst nicht fallen?).
Jetzt zur Einschätzung des Treffens: Vorfahrt mit frisch gewaschenem Auto, Schwarz-Rot-Gold vorne am Kotflügel, wie es sich gehört, Schwarz-Rot-Gold am Eingang. Ganz schön rechts. Warum eigentlich nicht die Regenbogenfahne?
Begrüßung durch Trump auf Nachfrage eines Reporters: „I love the People of Germany.“
Und Merz nutzt die Gelegenheit sich in Biedermeier-Style einzuschmeicheln: „And I love the People of America.“
Und Trump erwidert: „That‘s good!“
In welcher Atmosphäre findet das Treffen statt?
Trump hat ein Elefantengedächtnis. Er weiß um die abwertenden, diplomatiefreien Aussagen, die Merz über ihn gemacht hat. Er weiß, dass Merz ihn mehrfach persönlich beleidigend angegriffen hat. Als Präsident der USA steht man darüber. Aber man weiß es! Trump ist sich darüber im Klaren, mit welcher Geisteshaltung er es bei Merz zu tun hat.
Vor dem Hintergrund passt seine Aussage zur Presse: „Ich liebe die Deutschen.“ Das ist eine demokratische und höfliche Sympathiebekundung gegenüber der deutschen Bevölkerung, die Merz zwar miteinschließt, aber nicht direkt an ihn gerichtet ist.
Trump begrüßt Merz mit Handschlag, begrüßt aber eigentlich nicht den Kanzler, sondern die Deutschen.
Andererseits darf der Äußerung „Ich liebe die Deutschen“ auch nicht zu viel Bedeutung beigemessen werden, denn die Amerikaner sind ja dafür bekannt, dass sie gerne und schnell alles lieben: I love America, I love Coca-Cola, I love Peanuts und eben auch I love the People of Germany.
Merz nutzt gleich die Gelegenheit, sich anzubiedern, in dem er pariert: „Und ich liebe die Amerikaner.“, worauf Trump antwortet: „That’s good!“ Das kann man übersetzen mit „Das ist gut!“, aber auch mit „Das ist auch gut so!“, bei letzterem wäre es eine versteckte Drohung. Mach Dir bewusst, wo Du bist und mit wem Du es zu tun hast und verhalte Dich danach!
Nonverbal wird dem sonst in Deutschland so eloquent wirken wollenden, akzentuiert sprechenden Merz die Bedeutung zugedacht, die ihm aus Sicht von Trump gebührt. In Frankfurt heißen sie Wiener, in Wien heißen sie Frankfurter.
Somit sind die Voraussetzungen, unter denen das Treffen stattfinden soll, schon einmal von amerikanischer Seite aus geklärt.
Du bist hier Gast in meinem Haus, also benimm Dich auch entsprechend! Ich bin der Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika und Du bist klein Fritzchen aus dem Sauerland. Die Machtverhältnisse sind unausgesprochen geklärt.
Man hat in gewohnter Manier Platz genommen. Die Journalisten stellen Ihre Fragen ausschließlich an Trump. Zufall, oder Teil einer orchestrierten Aufführung, das wird man nie erfahren.
So oder so, die Journalisten signalisieren durch ihre Fragen an Trump, auf welcher Seite sie stehen, es weht der Geist von „America first“. Was Germany dazu zu sagen hat, interessiert niemanden, warum auch?
Die Einseitigkeit ist schon sehr auffällig. Eigentlich hätte es die Journalisten interessieren müssen, wie Deutschland zu verschiedenen Themen steht. Keine Fragen an Merz zu Zöllen, zur Ukraine, zur Meinungsfreiheit, zur Opposition. Mit dem Anspruch, ein breites Spektrum an Meinungen abbilden zu wollen, hat das eigentlich nichts zu tun. Wenn das die Vorstellung von „Freedom of Speach“ ist, dann können hier Zweifel aufkommen.
Falls diese Fragerunde in Hollywood-Manier gestaltet wurde, dann spräche das eher für Propaganda pro Trump. Wäre es Propaganda, dann wäre das Ziel allerdings erreicht worden: Kein Mensch interessiert sich für das, was Deutschland, vertreten durch Merz, zu sagen hat.
Trump setzt dem Ganzen zum Schluss noch die Krone auf, in dem er die Journalisten auffordert, nun endlich doch auch noch ein paar Fragen an Merz zu richten. Das unterstreicht nochmals das (geplante oder ungeplante) Desinteresse der anwesenden Journalisten, die sich nun fast schon genötigt fühlen, anstandshalber etwas zu fragen.
Merz, der bisher brav wie ein Schüler dem Lehrer zugehört hat, muss nun blitzschnell entscheiden, wie er die „künstlich“ hergestellte Möglichkeit nutzen kann, um, etwas unter Druck, durch die Kürze der Zeit, mit wenigen Worten seinen Standpunkt nach außen zu tragen. Seine konzentrierte Kernbotschaft, die Essenz, die Deutschland aus den USA und die übrige Welt hören soll, ist: Er steht weiter an der Seite der Ukraine und Russland ist ausschließlich das Böse.
Ganz schön raffiniert, denn so hat Trump es geschafft, das Konzentrat der Merz’schen Logik aus ihm herauszupressen.
Beide bekunden den Willen zum Frieden. Gleichzeitig wird jedoch auch klar, was jeder unter Frieden versteht: Merz will „Frieden durch Krieg“ und Trump will „Frieden durch Frieden“.
Auf rund 45 Minuten Trump kommen rund 4 Minuten Merz. Die Minuten drücken exakt die Machtverhältnisse aus.
Hätte Trump vorgehabt, Merz vorzuführen, ihm die Ohren langzuziehen, ihn bis auf die Knochen zu blamieren, er hätte reichlich Möglichkeiten dazu gehabt.
Er hätte Merz fragen können, warum er seinerzeit meinte, dass ihn, Trump, als Arschloch zu bezeichnen, noch gelinde sei. Er hätte ihn fragen können, warum er Trump als Gefahr für die Demokratie ansieht. Trump weiß darum, er hat es jedoch nicht angesprochen, was ist der Grund dafür?
Und Vance, der ebenfalls anwesend war, hätte seine Feststellungen zur Meinungsfreiheit und der „Fire-Wall“ gegen die Opposition, die er auf der Sicherheitskonferenz in München klar formuliert hat, wiederholen können, jetzt, wo doch der Kanzler, als erster Ansprechpartner für Deutschland, persönlich hätte gefragt werden können.
Beim Besuch von Selenskyj haben beide ja auch gewaltig gezeigt, wer hier das Sagen hat.
Nichts! Keine schallende Ohrfeige für Merz, doch nur Erdnussbutter auf’s Sandwich geschmiert. Kein „You don’t have the cards…“, was den Tatsachen entsprechen würde.
Auf politischer Ebene bleibt in den USA nichts, rein gar nichts dem Zufall überlassen. Je länger man darüber nachdenkt, desto klarer kann einem werden, dass das Treffen genau so geplant war, wie es sich abgespielt hat. Aber was genau ist der Plan, der dahintersteckt? Es gibt einen, dass ist so sicher, wie das Amen in der Kirche.
Sollen sich die Deutschen, vor allem die deutsche Politik in Sicherheit wiegen? Wenn das Teil eines Planes wäre, wäre er gelungen, denn in Deutschland wird der Besuch als gelungen und erfolgreich bewertet, aus welchen Gründen auch immer. Inzwischen ist Deutschland ja Weltmeister im Schönreden.
Spannend auch die Vorstellung, wenn man die Phantasie anregt, wie das Gespräch, im Fall Merz ein Monolog, verlaufen wäre, wenn die deutsche Opposition auf dem Stuhl von Merz gesessen hätte.
Es widerspräche der Realität, wenn nicht im Hintergrund ganz andere Ziele verfolgt und Absprachen getroffen würden. Welchen Einfluss auf das Treffen hat der bevorstehende NATO-Gipfel am 24. und 25. Juni 2025 in Den Haag?
Es drängt sich immer mehr der Verdacht auf, dass man es mit zwei Realitäten zu tun hat. Eine, die offiziell verkündet wird, und eine, die den Tatsachen entspricht, die aus welchen Gründen auch immer jedoch zunächst noch im Verborgenen bleibt. Ob das vielleicht sogar gut oder eher schlecht ist, wird die Zukunft zeigen. Klar ist jedoch, dass eine gesteuerte Realität in der Öffentlichkeit verbreitet werden soll, die man durchaus als Propaganda von allen Beteiligten bewerten kann. Da hackt eine Krähe der anderen kein Auge aus. Da heißt es wachsam bleiben und nicht der Versuchung zu erliegen, das zu glauben, was man gerne glauben möchte und von dem man sich wünscht, dass es eintritt.
„Bediene Dich Deines eigenen Verstandes.“ Das ist die Aufgabe der Zeit.

2025-06-06 12:49:15I’ve written before about the distinction between a platform, like Gmail or X, and a protocol, like SMTP or nostr. The former is typically owned and centrally controlled, the latter permissionless and open to everyone. For example, Google can ban you from using its email client, but no one can prevent you from using email itself because no one owns the email protocol.
Language is also a protocol, in fact every language including English. Anyone, even your worst enemy who knows it can make himself understood by those who understand it. Dictionaries and grammar guides exist, but over time even they bend to common usage and are forced to include new words and rules over time because no one owns or unilaterally controls the language.
Nonetheless that doesn’t prevent people from trying. If large companies ban you from using their communications platforms like Facebook, X and Gmail, it can severely constrict your reach. Banks can’t prevent you from using physical dollars, but they can cancel your credit cards and close your accounts, if for example you’ve decided to support Canadian truckers protesting their government, making it difficult for you to transact in a society largely run on their digital rails.
Over the last few years we even saw brazen attempts to turn language into a protocol via preferred pronouns, political correctness and a government-funded “disinformation” industry. The idea was that you had to “log in” with your correct view and accurate information credential before you could participate in a discussion about a wide array of sensitive topics. If you questioned the safety and efficacy of vaccines, the fairness of the 2020 election or the origins of the Covid virus you often found yourself denied reach on various platforms and labeled “anti-vax,” “anti-science,” an “election denier” or a “conspiracy theorist.”
These labels served to circumvent substantive discussion by denying basic standing such that there was no path to a hearing on the merits. If you did not signal your bona fides via adherence to certain preferred edicts, your perspective was often summarily dismissed, not only by individuals, but also institutions at the behest of which the modern public square is administered.
In short, centralized platforms, responding to government pressure, attempted to turn self-expression and in some cases even language itself into platform. As it turns out, that attempt was a violation of the law, at least in the United States, where we have a First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
That the First Amendment was violated over the last five years (and is still being violated now, though more with respect to what you can say about Israel and the conflict raging therein) is not surprising. The Constitution is merely a piece of paper and as such wholly dependent on succeeding generations’ willingness to stand up for it. Governments are always, by their nature, top down and fascistic insofar as they use force to achieve their desired ends, and it would be naive to think a piece of paper should stop them from doing so given a sufficiently compliant populace.
Put differently, the consecrated ideas in the piece of paper must be perpetuated to retain their binding effect. And rational arguments as to their supremacy over the expedience of the day (“people are dying, it’s a once in a century pandemic!”) often fall on propagandized ears. A list of sacrosanct principles is no failsafe for mass formation psychosis, and sophisticated and powerful factions have learned to foment manias as needed to overwhelm the average person’s dedication to them.
But just as gunpowder to some extent democratized the use of force 600 years ago, the spread of new technologies has the potential to enforce the First Amendment in perpetuity in a way the Framers with their pen and paper could not. In fact, we can re-write the First Amendment for the modern digital age in simplified form:
Religion and speech are ever protocols, never platforms.
In essence, no centralized entity can control, capture or censor them. But instead of simply stating this as a matter of principle, we can now, via Bitcoin and nostr, instantiate it into a decentralized ecosystem with the use of distributed nodes and unbreakable encryption. All the king’s horses and all the king’s men would more have as much chance of re-assembling Humpty Dumpty, contra the laws of entropy, as cracking your private keys. Inducing manias in the general public and using it as a lever on centralized gatekeepers works only at the platform level, but necessarily fails versus a distributed protocol.
The solution then in the face of an indifferent and obedient population to restoring the principles on which freedom and the prospect of human prosperity depend is to develop and use unstoppable, uncensorable technology, i.e., digital protocols, to circumvent the walled-garden platforms run by centralized tech behemoths. Yes, advocating for the principles in the founding documents is good and useful, but building and using tools that instantiate them is also necessary.
If enough people transact peer to peer in bitcoin rather than over the closed-circuit rails of the global banking system, and enough people share information over nostr, rather than via the centralized tech platforms, laws and actions that violate free speech would be as effective as ones outlawing gravity or laws of thermodynamics.
The next revolution won’t be with the guillotine or the pitchfork, but bottom-up person to person, permissionless interaction and transaction. You can still be excommunicated from the platforms by their commissars and state apparatchiks, but their edicts no longer run merely afoul of a consecrated piece of paper — they come up against an infrastructure over which they no longer have enforceable jurisdiction.

2025-06-06 12:18:25“Dieser Beitrag wurde mit dem Pareto-Client geschrieben.”
Rettungswagen fahren ständig über rote Ampeln
Wenn man diese rote Ampel als Bild für den Schmerz nimmt, dann stellt sich doch die Frage, warum das, was wir als „Rettung“ bezeichnen, ständig den Schmerz übergeht, überfährt. „Ja, aber man kann doch nicht von einem Rettungswagen erwarten, dass er an einer roten Ampel hält, oder?“
Was würden Sie von einer fremden Zivilisation halten, in der ständig aufgeregte Mitglieder dieser Zivilisation im Einsatz sein müssen, um Leben zu retten? Auf mich wirkt das nicht sehr vertrauensvoll. In so einer Zivilisation würde ich nicht leben wollen.
Aber wenn ich samstags im Garten sitze, dann höre ich mindestens fünf Mal das Martinshorn. Dieses Warnsignal gehört in deutschen Städten zum normalen Alltag. Man bekommt ständig „Gefahr“ suggeriert. Ich finde das nicht normal. Es zeigt, meines Erachtens, an, dass mit unserer „Gesundheit“ bzw. mit unserer Gesellschaft etwas nicht stimmt. Für welches Problem wird uns da eigentlich „Rettung“ angeboten? Und woher kommt das Problem? Ist es überhaupt ein Problem?
Ich kenne Menschen, die therapeutisch schon viel ausprobiert haben und sich theoretisch viel Wissen über Traumaarbeit und entsprechende Therapietechniken angeeignet haben, die aber dennoch nicht an ihren Schmerz heran kommen. Sie funktionieren im Alltag, fühlen sich aber die meiste Zeit in der Stimmung gedrückt, haben wenig Lebensfreude. Der Stachel sitzt fest im Fleisch und macht nur bei „falscher Bewegung“ Probleme. Meiner Erfahrung nach bestimmt die Natur den Zeitpunkt, an dem das Trauma, begleitet von einem nicht zu übersehenden Schmerz, wieder aktiviert wird und damit integriert werden kann. Irgendwann machen wir zum Glück diese eine „falsche Bewegung“. Und dann tut´s weh.
Und dann kommt die Rettung oder der Rettungswagen und bietet eine vermeintliche Lösung an, um im Bild zu bleiben. Ist das Fluch oder Segen?
Ich war selber lange in dieser „Schonhaltung“ und habe viele Leute aufgesucht, um in meinem Prozess weiter zu kommen. In der Rückschau hat das alles Sinn gemacht, auch wenn es mich nicht entscheidend weiter gebracht hat, von einigen lieben Ausnahmen abgesehen. Denn ich habe dadurch den Therapiemarkt aus Sicht eines Ratsuchenden gut kennen gelernt. Und ich bin nicht nur dadurch ein echter Kritiker des derzeitigen Therapiemarktes geworden. Wenn man selber erlebt hat, was einem so alles angeboten wird, wenn man dringend guten Rat bräuchte, dann ist das eine ungute Erfahrung, die man macht. Ich sage das, obwohl ich ja auch selber lange beratend tätig war in Psychiatrien und in der Sozialberatung. Es geht hier um ganz ernsthafte Selbstreflektion und um Überlegungen darüber, was mit unserem Therapiemarkt für Menschen mit seelischem Leid nicht stimmt.
Wer jetzt über den Begriff „Therapie M A R K T“ stolpert, der versteht, worauf ich hinaus will.
Natürlich kommen Therapieangebote (die Rettung) direkt aus dem System, welches einen zuvor als „krank“ diagnostiziert hat. „Krank“ ist laut System der, der nicht so funktioniert, wie es das System vorsieht. Und nun kommt eben dieses System und will einen „gesund“ machen. Und es will einen eben auch nicht „gesund“ machen, sondern einen eher dazu befähigen, dass man wieder im Sinne des Systems funktioniert. Nach einer Behandlung vom Therapiemarkt funktioniert man dann auch wieder, aber man fühlt sich weiter gedrückt in der Stimmung, und es fehlt an Lebensfreude, womit wir wieder am Anfang des Artikels wären. Kurz, die Therapie hilft nicht, was aber niemanden davon abhält, sie immer wieder neu anzuwenden bzw. aufzusuchen.
Das System kann Dich eben nur soweit bringen, wie es das System zulässt, sonst würde es sich ja selbst abschaffen oder erneuern. Ist ja logisch. Du wirst im System niemanden antreffen, der Dir erklärt, dass Du das System (die Rettung) eigentlich gar nicht brauchst, jedenfalls nicht in dieser Version. Es ist immer das Gleiche, egal um welchen Lebensbereich, Gesellschaftsbereich, Marktbereich es geht. Ich erkläre im Prinzip nur das nochmal, was viele schon aus den Bereichen Medizin, Bildung, Medien, Kultur, Spiritualität, Umwelt, Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft, Politik usw. kennen.
Ein System ist immer nur soweit, wie das System ist.
Und wenn ein System an seine Grenzen stößt, dann gehst Du halt zum Therapeuten und fühlst Dich anschließend nicht besser als zuvor.
Daran erkennt man im Prinzip, dass ein System an seine Grenzen gestoßen ist, wenn es auf der Stelle tritt, wenn die Rettung keine Rettung bringt und wenn die Lösung das Problem ist.
Menschen leben nicht ihr authentisches Sein, kommen nicht in die gesunde Freude, sind entweder überm Strich oder drunter, leben nicht aus ihrer Mitte heraus, können diese Mitte nicht (aus)halten, empfinden diese Mitte als langweilig oder als bedrohlich. Das Schöne und Gute macht nicht satt, oder man will es nicht aus der Angst heraus, es gleich wieder zu verlieren. Dies sind, meines Erachtens, weit verbreitete Traumafolgen, die den meisten mehr oder weniger bewusst sind.
Menschen suchen deswegen Therapeuten auf, die diesen Zustand aber nicht wesentlich verbessern können. Man akzeptiert daher diesen Zustand (mit oder ohne Therapeuten), oder man sagt nach der Therapie, dass die beratenden Therapeuten nichts drauf hatten und selber alle ein psychisches Problem haben, oder man kann tiefer schauen. Ich möchte hier tiefer schauen, denn ich kenne beide Seiten. Ich habe oft Rat gesucht und oft Begleitung angeboten.
Natürlich haben alle Psychologen, die als Therapeut arbeiten, ein Problem in die Wiege gelegt bekommen. Das entspricht dem Archetyp des Heilers. Der Heiler ist ja der, der sich erst selbst geheilt hat und eben deshalb andere heilen kann und will. Also ist der Vorwurf, dass alle Psychologen, die therapeutisch arbeiten, ja selbst ein Problem haben, nicht gut durchdacht. Der Punkt ist eher, dass es für einen guten Berater nicht reicht, ein eigenes Problem zu haben, sondern er sollte es gelöst haben, zumindest dieses eine Problem, das er beim anderen begleitend beraten möchte. Es geht um Begleitung, nicht um Heilung. Machen, muss jeder bekanntlich selber. Man kann das Pferd nur zur Tränke führen. Trinken muss es selber. Mit anderen Worten, der Berater sollte einen Schritt weiter sein als der Ratsuchende.
Wenn man nun als Berater bestimmte (Selbstheilungs)Erfahrungen gemacht hat, die aber nichts mit der Vorstellungswelt des Systems (die Rettung) zu tun haben, dann hat man ein Problem. Das System spuckt einen sehr schnell wie einen Kirschstein aus. Das süße Fleisch wird abgeknabbert, Deine wertschätzende und empathische Art mit Kunden oder Patienten umzugehen, aber der Kern, Deine Überzeugung, dass diese bedingungslos wertschätzende Haltung DER Schlüssel ist, um im Gegenüber SELBST-HEILUNG anzuregen, wird ausgespuckt. Das Wort „bedingungslos“ ist hierbei wichtig.
Du möchtest den Menschen wärmstens den Schmerz ans Herz legen, weil er Dir selbst Dein Gefühl zurück gebracht hat, weil Du es selbst so erlebt hast, und andere Fachleute sagen, das sei unverantwortlich. Psychische Stabilität sei oberstes Gebot. Man müsse handlungsfähig bleiben, die Kontrolle behalten und eine Reaktivierung des alten Traumas sei gefährlich. (Wessen Trauma ist hier eigentlich gemeint? Aber egal.) Das könne auch ins Auge gehen.
Ja und Nein. Niemand redet davon, etwas zu forcieren. Es geht vielmehr um die Anerkennung dessen, dass wichtige Transformationsprozesse sich SELBST einleiten, SELBST das Tempo vorgeben und NICHT (durch Bedingungen) gestört werden wollen. Meines Erachtens werden Transformationsprozesse, die sich zaghaft anmelden, in der Regel durch sogenannte Behandlungen und die dazugehörigen RahmenBEDINGUNGEN gestört. Ratsuchende werden mit Wissen und Fremdwörtern überhäuft, mit mündlich und schriftlich vereinbarten Therapiezielen irritiert, mit regelmäßigen mündlichen und schriftlichen Nachfragen zum Behandlungserfolg verunsichert und belästigt und nicht selten wegen angeblich fehlender Mitwirkung bewertet. Andauernde Symptome werden einem zum Vorwurf gemacht, Gefühle werden wie wilde Tiere gejagt, die es, wenn nötig, pharmazeutisch einzufangen und zu erlegen gilt. Anpassung ist Trumpf. Und die Bürokratie beäugt alles aus sicherer Entfernung mit der Stoppuhr. Zeit ist Geld. Wie soll man sich da vertrauensvoll öffnen, Gefühle fließen lassen, den Schmerz zulassen, die Kontrolle verlieren UND wieder erlangen bevor die Kurzzeittherapie oder der genehmigte Klinikaufenthalt beendet sind? Keine Frau kann auf natürliche Weise ein Kind gebären, wenn, etwas überspitzt formuliert, alle fünf Minuten jemand ins Zimmer kommt, den Muttermund fühlen möchte und freundlich darauf hinweist, dass in ein paar Minuten nur noch der Bereitschaftsdienst von der Nachtschicht im Hause ist. Das verursacht Stress, und alles zieht sich buchstäblich zusammen. In der Psychotherapie ist das vergleichbar.
Der seelische Schmerz ist in Praxen, Kliniken und Gesundheitszentren ein Zustand, der wie ein Hund, draußen bleiben muss. Er gilt als Indikator für Krankheit. Das ist aber nur die halbe Wahrheit. Es gibt auch Therapiehunde, und die dürfen rein. Der Schmerz ist beides.
Meines Erachtens ist der Schmerz die Durchtrittspforte, die in beide Richtungen passiert werden kann. Er ist der Letzte und der Erste. Er schaltet das Gefühl ab, wenn das Trauma passiert. Aber er läutet die Wiederkehr des vollen Gefühls auch wieder ein, wenn das Gefühl zurückkommen möchte. Und genau dieser (wertvolle) Schmerz wird bekämpft, was das Zeug hält. Wie soll man dabei gesund werden, wenn man aktiv davon abgehalten wird, durch diese Pforte zu gehen? Niemand lässt einen in Ruhe diesen (wertvollen) Schmerz durchfühlen. Therapeuten werden nervös, Ärzte zücken den Rezeptblock, Krankenkassen beanstanden den fehlenden Erfolg der Behandlungsmethode und kürzen die Mittel. Und dabei arbeitet genau dieser Schmerz FÜR das Leben und FÜR die Selbstheilung, wenn man ihn einfach mal machen lassen würde. Der Schmerz ist so viel besser als sein Ruf. Wenn es irgendwo Drama gibt, dann kann man sicher sein, dass es dem Schmerz in die Schuhe geschoben wird. Und das ganze Geld, was man zur Schmerzbekämpfung ausgibt (Schmerz ist ein Geschäft), könnte man so sinnvoll an anderer Stelle anlegen. Wichtige Gefühle und eben dieser wertvolle Schmerz, der die Selbstheilung bringt, werden vereitelt, weil unser derzeitiges System sich das nicht vorstellen kann, dass ein Schmerz gut sein kann. Der Rettungswagen fährt immer über diese rote Ampel drüber.
Was ist nun mein erster skizzenhafter Kurzausblick für einen hilfreichen Umgang mit Verletzung oder gar Trauma?
Genauso wie es in diesen Tagen Überlegungen zur natürlichen Geburt, zur Hausgeburt usw. gibt, genauso braucht es, meines Erachtens, komplett andere Strukturen, um Mensch zu helfen, die seelisch leiden. Es gibt zurzeit sehr viele Menschen, die aus den unterschiedlichsten Gründen seelisch leiden. Wir sind eine verletzte Gesellschaft, oft sogar bis tief in die Wurzeln.
Mein Traum ist, dass alles von Grund auf anders wird. Der Ratsuchende wird gesehen, er braucht nicht mehr nach Hilfe suchen. Menschen erkennen, was mit einem Mitglied ihrer Gemeinschaft los ist, nicht stimmt. Der Betroffene wird liebevoll und behutsam in die Mitte gestellt, nicht an den Rand. Er erfährt Wertschätzung für sich und seine Situation. Er braucht keine Angst zu haben, ausgestoßen zu werden. Alle setzen alles daran, jemandem zu helfen, weil er ein wertvolles Mitglied der Gruppe ist. Die Begleitung ist ein Anliegen der ganzen Gruppe, nicht eines Heilers. Alle wollen, dass es einer Person wieder besser geht. Alle erkennen eine Botschaft in der „Krankheit“. Denn eine Krankheit entsteht immer in einem System und nicht in einem Individuum allein. Alle nehmen aus der Krankheit eine Lernerfahrung mit für die Zukunft, damit das in Zukunft nach Möglichkeit nicht mehr passiert. Der Betroffene ist um eine Erfahrung reicher, geht gestärkt aus dem Prozess hervor und kann später andere unterstützen, weil er ein spezielles Wissen erworben hat. Der Kranke braucht keine Gefühle von Schuld oder Versagen zu entwickeln, im Gegenteil, er wird aufgewertet, weil ihm Aufmerksamkeit und Fürsorge zuteil werden. Und die Gruppe ist gestärkt, weil sie ein Mitglied wieder fit gemacht hat, sich selbst als Gruppe helfen konnte. „Krankheit“ ist nicht länger ein Grund, jemanden auszustoßen, sondern ein Anreiz, als Gruppe stärker zu werden. Eine Gruppe, die schon ein paar schwere Probleme gemeinsam gemeistert hat, ist ein starkes Team.
Seelisches Leid einer Person wird so einfach zu einem Indikator, der einer Gruppe anzeigt, wo sie nachbessern darf.
Je sensibler jemand ist, desto eher zeigt er seelisches Leid an. Sensible Leute haben diese Funktion in einer Gruppe. Die robusten Leute haben eine andere Funktion in einer Gruppe. Beides ist wichtig. Gruppen brauchen sensible Mitglieder, weil diese, wenn sie gesehen werden, sicherstellen, dass auf gute Umgangsformen, auf Rücksicht, auf Ausgleich, auf Gerechtigkeit usw. geachtet wird. „Krankheiten“ zeigen eigentlich nur Überlastungen an. Je mehr Mitglieder einer Gruppe „krank“ werden, umso schlimmer sind die Lebensumstände. Jedes System sollte immer konstruktiv auf Überlastungsanzeigen reagieren, weil es ansonsten auf der Zeitlinie endet.
Und diesem Gedanken folgend, zieht die Forderung nach einer anderen Begleitung von seelischem Leid in unserer Gesellschaft im Prinzip den Wunsch nach einer ganz anderen gesellschaftlichen Form des Zusammenlebens nach sich. Um sich in einer Gemeinschaft um ein Mitglied kümmern zu können, braucht es erstmal eine (soziale) Gemeinschaft. Also brauchen wir wieder funktionierende soziale Gruppen, wo Menschen sich ganz einfach miteinander verbunden fühlen, sich für die Oma, den Neffen, den Nachbarn oder Kollegen interessieren. Solche Dinge können klein anfangen und dann immer größer werden. Ich denke an Oasen inmitten der alten Struktur wie es sie in ähnlichen Bereichen bereits gibt. Das sind z.B. nichtkommerzielle Projekte, die davon leben, dass einige wenige Menschen sich zusammengeschlossen haben, weil sie die gleiche Sehnsucht teilten. Oder einzelne Menschen machen ihre eigene Erfahrung für jeden frei zugänglich. Jeder, der etwas Hilfreiches in Sachen „seelische Heilung“ erlebt hat, meldet sich zu Wort, wird erkennbar für Ratsuchende. Der Ratsuchende muss nicht mehr auf die Suche gehen, muss sich nicht mehr schämen, ist nicht mehr allein. Es geht um freien Wissensaustausch, der dann Kreise ziehen kann. Es geht um den Wunsch, es anders, freier und menschlicher gestalten zu wollen und darum, sich etwas anderes vorstellen zu können, weil man selbst mal etwas anderes am eigenen Leib und an der eigenen Seele erfahren hat. Wenn man selbst etwas anders erfahren hat, als es vom System und von wichtigen Gremien gepredigt wird, dann gibt es kein Zurück zum System mehr, denn man weiß, es geht anders.
Wissen kann man nicht mehr zurück nehmen, wenn es einmal da ist.
Es geht anders, das ist zumindest meine Gewissheit. Und wir können Traumaintegration mit der Kraft der Natur, mit unserer Biologie, mit der Intelligenz der Evolution oder dem, was größer ist als wir, erreichen. Wir können mit dieser in uns angelegten Fähigkeit zur SELBSTheilung auch schwere seelische Verletzungen „heilen“. Die Natur hat Frauen seit Urzeiten natürlich gebären lassen. Und die Natur hilft uns genauso bei seelischem Trauma, wenn wir sie, die Natur, dabei nicht stören.
Solche Oasen für seelische Prozesse können überall dort entstehen, wo Menschen selbst diese Erfahrung von Selbstheilung seelischer Verletzung gemacht haben. Solche Oasen haben nichts mit Kommerz zu tun haben. Die Erfahrung, die man in solch einer Oase gemacht hat, kann man dann weiter tragen. Das ist sozusagen ihr „Gewinn“. Der Gewinn ist immateriell. Aber wie wir alle wissen, zieht das Bewusstsein immer die Materie nach sich. Das bedeutet, dass immer mehr Menschen durch diese Erfahrungen in ihr authentisches Sein und ihre gesunde Schaffenskraft kommen. Und das wird irgendwann sichtbar und auch auf gesellschaftlicher Ebene spürbar.
Die größte Herausforderung wird sein, den Menschen klar zu machen, dass die Natur uns heilt und dass man mit diesem Modell kein Geschäft machen kann. Wer mit Heilung ein Geschäft machen möchte, kommt zwangsläufig an den Punkt, an dem wir jetzt sind. Man kann wohl nur mit unterdrücktem Heilungswissen Geschäfte machen. Deswegen wird der Schmerz auch unterdrückt und übergangen. Denn er trägt dieses Heilungswissen in sich. Mit frei zugänglichem Heilungswissen für jeden, also z.B. dem Wissen über den Schmerz und was dieser imstande ist zu verändern, kann man zwar kein Geschäft machen, aber dafür endlich alles andere.
Heiße den Schmerz willkommen, wenn er in Dein Leben kommt.

2025-06-06 12:01:51Speaking to Atlas21 microphones, Marco Argentieri, CEO of Ark Labs, talked about the Ark protocol, its synergy with LN and the debate on OP_RETURN.
During the Tuscany Lightning Summit 2025 in Viareggio, Marco Argentieri, CEO of Ark Labs, explained to Atlas21 microphones why Ark is not a competitor to the Lightning Network and discussed the role that the protocol can play in the ecosystem.
The conversation opened with a reflection on Bitcoin’s role as programmable money: “I believe Bitcoin must be programmable money not only because Satoshi himself put a script in Bitcoin, therefore a programming language, but also because when you start working with merchants, companies, payment processors, we realize that we need Bitcoin to be programmable to make payments effective,” Argentieri explained.
According to the CEO of Ark Labs, the success of the swap model that made wallets like Muun popular shows users’ desire to use LN, but without its technical complexity. “Muun was one of the first wallets to use this model and is still today among the most downloaded precisely for its simplicity,” the CEO observed.
But programmability doesn’t only serve end users. Argentieri draws attention to merchants, who represent the other side of the coin in payments. “Those who receive payments – merchants – for accounting reasons and to have regularity of cash flow, would like to have a less volatile currency,” he explained. The solution, for Argentieri, could be represented by derivative contracts that allow accepting bitcoin without suffering volatility, exploiting hedging strategies, and to do this “you need Bitcoin to be programmable.”
Ark as complementary technology
Regarding the initial perception of Ark as a “Lightning killer,” Argentieri clarified: “It was short-term marketing” that generated misunderstandings. “From the beginning I have always seen Ark and Lightning as two completely different and complementary technologies.”
Ark Labs’ strategy demonstrates this: “The first thing we did was a partnership with swap provider Boltz,” Argentieri recounted. Lightning channel managers need continuous swaps to rebalance channels: in this way Ark helps Boltz not to have to introduce an additional blockchain, the CEO of Ark Labs commented.
According to Argentieri, the synergy relationship works in both directions: “Lightning helps Ark because Ark is based on a client-server approach with operators, and Lightning can be used as a lingua franca to go from one ark to another.” The result is a system that Argentieri describes as “banks that cannot confiscate your funds.”
On the issue of self-custody scalability, the CEO of Ark Labs provided a realistic assessment of current limits: “It is mathematically impossible for every user to have their own UTXO. Ark offers a solution through VTXOs (Virtual Transaction Output).” Argentieri used a comparison to clarify the difference: “I always describe a UTXO as having your own land, like buying a beachfront house in Miami in the sixties. It’s your property, but if you want to sell it will be slow and expensive.” VTXOs, instead, are “like an airbnb – very simple to enter and exit, but you have to pay rent.”
The crucial aspect is unilateral exit from the network: “Ark gives the possibility of not doing vendor lock-in. It’s like a rental where I know that eventually I can always transform it into a house. I won’t do this with a few satoshis, I’ll wait to accumulate enough to afford a whole UTXO,” Argentieri stated.
B2B before retail
Argentieri sees Ark primarily as B2B infrastructure rather than retail: “Initially there was the idea of Ark as a mobile wallet for coffee payments, but I think it’s the opposite.”
“Doing the same things that can already be done with traditional fintech systems is a mistake.” The real opportunity, according to the CEO of Ark Labs, lies in use cases that only Bitcoin can enable: “When there are still Bitcoin startups that would like to pay their employees in bitcoin but cannot due to lack of infrastructure, there is the potential.”
The approach foresees initial adoption oriented to the corporate world: “Bitcoin must first take companies and sophisticated operators. There are the new use cases that you couldn’t do before Bitcoin.” The famous “coffee paid with bitcoin”? It’s not a technological problem, it’s an adoption problem, Argentieri commented.
Arkade: platform for off-chain contracts
Arkade, “the name of our online platform,” represents the practical implementation of this vision, Argentieri explained, specifying that it is “a set of technologies and approaches.” The goal is to create “the first platform to execute Bitcoin contracts off-chain instead of on-chain, using Ark to give unilateral exit from the network.”
The architecture maintains Bitcoin philosophy: “I believe the UTXO model is much better than the Ethereum model, but obviously we have to make these contracts off-chain.”
The OP_RETURN case
On the OP_RETURN debate, Argentieri expressed two positions: “At a technological level I am in favor of removal because we are seeing that the ecosystem is looking for other approaches,” he explains. But the problem is not technical, it’s political: “Bitcoin is not just technology but also people, humans, culture.”
The criticism of the CEO of Ark Labs concerns timing: “I am against the fact that Bitcoin Core in version 29 has this modification because many people are not in favor currently. There’s no hurry, let’s do it in version 30 so we have another six months to deepen the debate.”
For Argentieri, the discussion revealed a governance problem: “From a political point of view, this shows a communication error. Bitcoin is no longer a toy for kids but an industry.” And like every mature industry, it needs adequate governance structures, the CEO of Ark Labs suggested. Argentieri’s proposal includes the introduction of specialized figures: “Just as there are core developers, there could be core communicators who say ‘wait, let’s think about it’ before making decisions that impact the community.”

2025-06-06 11:01:44This week, on The Stacker Sports Podcast, we will mourn the loss of episode 34, but we'll also probably talk about new sports stuff.
For example, the NBA Finals got off to an amazing start. My "top 5 Hali" take is looking less and less dumb. Do we really believe in the Pacers yet, though?
We might also start our NBA off-season speculation. Which big stars are on the move? Which good teams are making big changes?
I actually did watch some of the NHL Finals game, but I didn't stay up for the end. Why are these games on so late?
Aaron Rodgers finally has a team for next season and the Steelers finally have a QB for next season. Does this match make sense?
@grayruby also has some hopium to share about why the 49ers big offseason acquisition will be much better than he was last year, when he "played for" the Super Bowl champs.
The Rockies are still historically bad, but they're no longer on pace to catch the Cleveland Spiders for the MLB record.
There might also be some MLB trade talk.
And, of course, we'll recap the ~Stacker_Sports contests.
What else do you want to hear about, stackers?

Semler Scientific Acquires 185 Bitcoin, Increasing Total Holdings to 4,449 BTCToday, Semler Scientific announced it has increased its Bitcoin holdings. The company acquired 185 Bitcoin between May 23 and June 3 for $20 million with an average purchase price of $107,974 per Bitcoin, using proceeds from its at-the-market (ATM) offering program.

“We continue to accretively grow our bitcoin arsenal using operating cash flow and proceeds from debt and equity financings,” said the chairman of Semler Scientific Eric Semler. “And we are excited to launch the Semler Scientific dashboard today on our website to provide the public with regularly updated information on our bitcoin holdings and other key metrics.”
Since launching the ATM program in April 2025, Semler has raised approximately $136.2 million under the sales agreement of over 3.6 million shares of its common stock.
As of June 3, 2025, Semler holds 4,449 Bitcoin which were acquired for an amount of $410.0 million, with an average purchase price of $92,158 per Bitcoin. At the time of writing, the market value of these holdings is around $446.2 million.
Eric Semler on X posted, “SMLR acquires 185 Bitcoins for $20 million and has generated BTC Yield of 26.7% YTD. Now holding 4,449 $BTC.”

Semler Scientific uses the BTC Yield as a key performance indicator (KPI) to help assess the performance of its strategy of acquiring Bitcoin. As of year-to-date, the company has achieved a BTC Yield of 26.7%.
“Semler Scientific believes this KPI can be used to supplement an investor’s understanding of Semler Scientific’s decision to fund the purchase of Bitcoin by issuing additional shares of its common stock or instruments convertible to common stock,” stated the 8-K form.
In Q1 FY2025, Semler Scientific reported a difficult quarter. Revenue came in at $8.8 million, a 44% decrease year-over-year. Operating expenses jumped to $39.9 million from $8.9 million last year, mainly due to a $29.8 million contingent liability tied to the potential settlement with the DOJ. This led to a $31.1 million operating loss, compared to a $7.0 million profit in Q1 2024.
“Our healthcare business is seeing green shoots from the cardiovascular product line that we introduced to our large enterprise customer base this year,” said the CEO of Semler Scientific Doug Murphy-Chutorian. “We are expecting growth and cash generation from these FDA-cleared products and services, which will add to our bitcoin treasury strategy.”

2025-06-06 09:55:17Bitcoin, with its precisely engineered monetary policy, presents a compelling alternative to traditional financial systems. Beyond its technological innovation, its design reveals a potential blueprint for a future where global economies might operate on a fixed, sound money standard, free from the inflationary policies that have long characterized fiat currencies.
A core tenet of Bitcoin's appeal lies in its unwavering scarcity. By early 2030, an estimated over 90% of its total 21 million coins will have been mined and released into circulation. This immutable supply cap, hard-coded into its protocol, provides a stark contrast to national currencies whose supplies can be expanded at will by central banks. While the very last fractions of Bitcoin will be mined around 2140, the effective supply is established far sooner.
Key to Bitcoin's functionality at scale is its remarkable divisibility. Each Bitcoin is broken down into 100 million smaller units called "satoshis." This granular structure ensures that even if a single Bitcoin were to achieve a multi-million dollar valuation, the humble satoshi would remain a practical and relatable unit for everyday transactions, much like a cent in everyday commerce.
Consider the transformative implications of two hypothetical Bitcoin price points:
-
The $1.1 Million Bitcoin: A New Standard for the USD. If Bitcoin's current circulating supply were to absorb the entirety of the US M2 money supply—approximately $21.86 trillion as of April 2025—the price of one Bitcoin would reach roughly $1.1 million. At this valuation, a single satoshi would equate to about 1.1 cents. This scenario suggests Bitcoin's market capitalization directly challenging, and potentially replacing or serving as a hard peg for, the broad US dollar supply. Such a shift would fundamentally constrain the ability of the Federal Reserve to engage in inflationary practices.
-
The $5.3 Million Bitcoin: The Backbone of World GDP. Pushing the hypothetical further, if Bitcoin's market cap were to cover the entire world's nominal Gross Domestic Product—valued at $106.172 trillion for 2023—the price of one Bitcoin would soar to an estimated $5.3 million.
These figures underscore a powerful, almost poetic, vision for Bitcoin's role in the global economy. The striking numerical coincidences—the 21 million coin cap, the potential for a $21 trillion market cap (roughly aligning with M2), and the corresponding satoshi-to-cent parity—suggest a profound foresight in Satoshi Nakamoto's original design. This design, proponents argue, aims to facilitate a future where the global economy operates on a sound money standard, liberated from what some describe as the "nasty inflation tricks" employed by central banks to devalue currencies.
Crucially, this shift would present significant challenges, particularly for larger economies perceived as "artificially inflated" by years of expansionary monetary policies. These nations, accustomed to managing economic cycles through money printing and debt monetization, would face:
- Loss of Monetary Sovereignty: The inability to inflate their way out of debt or stimulate the economy through currency debasement.
- Forced Fiscal Discipline: Governments would be compelled to balance budgets through taxation or genuine borrowing, abandoning reliance on the printing press.
- Deflationary Pressures: A fixed money supply in a growing economy could lead to an increase in purchasing power over time (deflation), making existing debts harder to service in real terms.
To illustrate this profound re-allocation of global value, consider how current national GDPs would theoretically translate into Bitcoin holdings in such a scenario, assuming the entire world's economic output was denominated in the existing Bitcoin supply:
Hypothetical Bitcoin Allocation by Country (World GDP Covered)
(Assumes World GDP ~$106.172 Trillion USD, Bitcoin Circulating Supply ~19.87 Million BTC, leading to ~$5,343,834.93 per BTC)
| Country | 2023 Nominal GDP (in Billions USD) | % of World GDP (approx.) | Equivalent Bitcoin Amount (in BTC) | | :------------------ | :--------------------------------- | :----------------------- | :--------------------------------- | | Major Economies | | | | | United States | $27,970 | 26.34% | 5,234,000 | | China | $17,650 | 16.62% | 3,303,000 | | Germany | $4,460 | 4.20% | 835,000 | | Japan | $4,290 | 4.04% | 803,000 | | India | $3,730 | 3.51% | 698,000 | | United Kingdom | $3,330 | 3.14% | 623,000 | | France | $3,050 | 2.87% | 571,000 | | Italy | $2,190 | 2.06% | 410,000 | | Brazil | $2,170 | 2.04% | 406,000 | | Canada | $2,120 | 1.99% | 397,000 | | Emerging Markets & Smaller Economies | | | | | Saudi Arabia | $1,070 | 1.01% | 200,000 | | Poland | $810 | 0.76% | 152,000 | | Switzerland | $885 | 0.83% | 166,000 | | Sweden | $585 | 0.55% | 109,000 | | Nigeria | $363 | 0.34% | 68,000 | | Egypt | $396 | 0.37% | 74,000 | | South Africa | $381 | 0.36% | 71,000 | | Argentina | $646 | 0.61% | 121,000 | | Vietnam | $430 | 0.40% | 80,000 | | Colombia | $364 | 0.34% | 68,000 | | Malaysia | $400 | 0.38% | 75,000 | | Philippines | $437 | 0.41% | 82,000 | | New Zealand | $253 | 0.24% | 47,000 | | Denmark | $404 | 0.38% | 75,000 |
(Source for 2023 Nominal GDP data: International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Economic Outlook Database, October 2023 & various country-specific sources for confirmation.)
This table vividly demonstrates how a Bitcoin-backed global economy would concentrate immense value into relatively small amounts of Bitcoin. For instance, the United States, representing over a quarter of global GDP, would account for just over 5 million of the total 19.87 million Bitcoins in this theoretical future. This underscores the transformative potential of such a shift, forcing nations—especially those accustomed to expansive fiscal policies—to adapt to a new era of immutable monetary constraints.
While Bitcoin's supply schedule marches steadily towards its fixed limit, its adoption by individuals, businesses, and governments worldwide is a separate journey. Currently, global cryptocurrency ownership is estimated at around 6.8% of the world population, placing Bitcoin firmly in the early stages of the "Diffusion of Innovations" S-curve. However, the inherent scarcity created by Bitcoin's pre-programmed supply is precisely what many believe will drive its value higher as global adoption continues to accelerate in the decades to come.
Ultimately, Bitcoin is more than just a digital asset; it embodies a potential revolution in how money functions globally, offering a path towards a fundamentally transparent, predictable, and finite monetary system that could reshape the very foundations of capitalism.

2025-06-06 08:41:17Unmasking the Narrative: Why the "Damaged Autist" Myth Persists – A Critical Look at Perception and Bias in Society
In an era increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence and the vast datasets it learns from, a critical question emerges: how accurately does AI reflect and, in turn, perpetuate societal narratives, particularly those surrounding neurological diversity and human experience? Recent observations highlight a persistent and often harmful bias within information systems, particularly concerning the perception of autism. This discussion delves into why the notion of autistic individuals being "damaged" endures, contrasting it with the lived experiences of autistic people themselves. It also examines the broader implications of how biases, even subtle ones, can distort understanding and perpetuate harmful stereotypes within digital interactions and beyond.
Autism as a Different Operating System
The prevalent narrative often portrays autistic individuals as inherently "damaged," a perspective sharply contested by autistic people themselves. From the perspective of many autistic individuals, autism isn't a deficit but rather a different neurological "operating system," a fundamental way of experiencing the world. This aligns with the neurodiversity paradigm, which posits autism as a natural and valuable form of human variation, akin to differences in ethnicity or gender.
Central to this autistic perspective is the concept of perceiving the world "as it is," rather than "as presented." Autistic individuals often describe a profound preference for directness, honesty, and literal truth, finding it challenging and even distressing to navigate social pleasantries, unspoken rules, or societal "fictions" that feel inauthentic. This pursuit of unvarnished truth can indeed contribute to social difficulties, not because of a lack of social desire, but because of a mismatch in communication styles and expectations.
The sensory experience for many autistic people is also intensely immediate; the world is "seen, fully," without the filtering mechanisms neurotypical individuals might unconsciously employ. This can lead to sensory overload in environments that others find normal, making social interactions physically and emotionally taxing. Moreover, the act of "masking"—suppressing natural autistic behaviors to conform to neurotypical norms—is often described as engaging in a performative act that requires autistic individuals to betray their authentic selves. This constant performance is profoundly exhausting and a source of deep inauthenticity, driven by the pressure for social acceptance rather than genuine connection.
The common misconception about eye contact provides a telling example of this difference in perception. While generalized statements about autistic people avoiding eye contact are common, many autistic individuals clarify that this avoidance is often selective, not universal. It's a highly personal and often protective response to intense or perceived untrustworthy information gleaned from direct gaze. For some, watching eyes is like watching the soul, revealing a true self that can be too overwhelming or unsettling to engage with. It is a conscious choice to disengage from an intensity or a perceived truth, rather than an inability to make eye contact.
Why the "Damaged" Narrative Persists
Given these unique and valid forms of perception, a crucial question arises: Why would some people want to push the narrative that autists are damaged when in fact they are not? Several interconnected reasons contribute to the perpetuation of this harmful myth:
- The Dominant Medical/Pathology Model: Historically, autism has been predominantly framed as a "disorder" or "condition" needing "cure," which inherently implies a state of being "broken" or "damaged."
- Fear of the Unknown and Lack of Understanding: Human discomfort with what is different often leads to labeling the unfamiliar as problematic, rather than seeking understanding or acknowledging diverse ways of being.
- Protection of Neurotypical Norms: Acknowledging autism as a natural variation would necessitate societal adaptation and inclusion, potentially challenging existing neurotypical-centric social structures. Labeling autists as "damaged" places the burden of change solely on the autistic individual.
- Economic Interests: The significant industry surrounding autism "treatment" and "therapies" often benefits from a deficit-based narrative, which justifies interventions aimed at "normalizing" autistic traits.
- Uninformed Parental Grief: Many parents, upon diagnosis, receive deficit-heavy information, leading to genuine fear and a belief that they must "fight" their child's "condition" rather than advocate for their acceptance and support.
- "Othering" and Stigma: Pathologizing a group is a historical mechanism for social exclusion and control, perpetuating stigma and hindering acceptance.
- Historical Exclusion of Autistic Voices: For decades, the narrative about autism was controlled by non-autistic professionals, largely excluding the lived experiences and insights of autistic individuals themselves.
Broader Societal Biases: A Reinforcing Pattern
The propensity to label autistic individuals as "damaged" mirrors a broader societal tendency to apply biased narratives, often rooted in preconceptions rather than objective assessment. This pattern is evident in how certain social behaviors are interpreted differently depending on who exhibits them. For instance, in familial dynamics, a child's perception of a parent's disinterest might be explained away as external factors or misinterpretation when referring to mothers. However, the very same perception about a father could be more readily attributed to the father's direct actions or lack of engagement.
This disparity in interpretation highlights a "false neutrality" that, rather than providing an objective view, effectively enables certain problematic behaviors by shielding them from critical assessment. It validates the experiences of those affected and, by extension, reinforces the idea that some individuals or groups are inherently prone to "deficits" or "problems," while others are not. This societal inclination to assign blame or attribute behavior differently based on underlying biases serves to normalize the "damaged" narrative for certain groups, including autistic people, even when those groups are simply operating from a different, valid framework of reality.
Discrediting Truth-Seeing Abilities
Beyond these factors, a more subtle but potent reason exists: the "damaged" narrative can serve as a deliberate strategy to discredit autistic perspectives and their truth-seeing abilities. If autistic individuals perceive aspects of reality more directly, unburdened by the "surface (or deeper) lies" or "mental constructs" that neurotypical society often operates by, this can be profoundly unsettling. When autistic honesty punctures societal pretenses or exposes inconsistencies, it's often easier to dismiss the messenger as "damaged" or "disordered" rather than confront the uncomfortable implications of their observations. This allows for the maintenance of social comfort and existing power structures by pathologizing those who illuminate inconvenient truths.
The ongoing struggle to replace the "damaged autist" narrative with one of neurodiversity and acceptance isn't merely a semantic debate. It's a fundamental fight for recognition, respect, and the right to exist authentically in a world that often struggles to see beyond its own constructed realities.

2025-06-06 08:25:14Autor: Mathias Bröckers. Dieser Beitrag wurde mit dem Pareto-Client geschrieben und erschien zuerst auf dem Blog des Autors. Sie finden alle Texte der Friedenstaube und weitere Texte zum Thema Frieden hier.**

Die neuesten Artikel der Friedenstaube gibt es jetzt auch im eigenen Friedenstaube-Telegram-Kanal.
Vor elf Jahren, als der Krieg in der Ukraine begonnen hatte und die Putsch-Regierung in Kiew militärisch gegen die “Separatisten” genannten Bürger der östlichen Regionen vorging, die das illegal an die Macht gelangte Regime nicht akzeptieren wollten, schrieb ich unter dem Titel “Barbarossa 2.0”, dass “wir” – im Westen – noch immer “Die Wohlgesinnten” sind – und empfahl das Buch von Jonathan Littell als “besten Tatsachen-Roman über 'Barbarossa 1' und die Folgen”:
"Dass dies alles NICHT im Interesse Europas und Deutschland sein kann, hatten wir hier schon mehrfach aufgezeigt – und wenn es noch eines Beweises bedurft hätte, wer hier die Strippen zieht: der Sohn des US-Vizepräsidenten und der beste Kumpel von Außenminister John “Skull & Bones” Kerry steigen in den Vorstand des größten privaten ukrainischen Gasunternehmens ein – zuständig für “Expansion”. Schon im Januar war der größte Agrarkonzern der USA , Cargill, mit 200 Mio. beim größten Landwirtschaftsbetrieb der Ukraine eingestiegen. Vermittelt von einem Spezi der US-Diplomatin Victoria “F*ck EU” Nuland und ihres Mannes, Robert Kagan, seines Zeichens Mitgründer des Neocon-Thinktanks “PNAC” (“Project For A New American Century”) ; jenem Club von Cheney, Rumsfeld und Co. der sich 1999 “ein neues Pearl Harbour” wünschte, um weitere militärische Eroberungen durchzuziehen.
Nazi-Deutschlands “Unternehmen Barbarossa” – der 1940 geschmiedete geheime Plan, Russland zu überfallen und blitzkriegartig zu besiegen – endete bekanntlich in einer Tragödie und mit 20 Millionen toten Russen und Ukrainern. Vor 70 Jahren, am 11. Mai 1944, vertrieb die Rote Armee die letzten Faschisten von der Halbinsel Krim. Dass Russland sie jetzt wieder, völkerrechtlich fragwürdig, annektierte – nachdem der alte Schlawiner Nikita Chrustschow die Krim 1954 seiner alten politischen Heimat Ukraine, völkerrechtlich fragwürdig, einfach geschenkt hatte – um sie vor dem aus Kiew herannahenden “Rechten Sektor” zu schützen entbehrt insofern nicht einer gewissen Konsequenz. Denn auch wenn diese echten Faschisten nur einen Teil der amtierenden Putsch-Regierung ausmachen und Jateznjuk “nur ” eine zivile CIA-Marionette ist – was da unter dem “Stars & Stripes”-und EU-Banner läuft kann man durchaus als “Barbarossa 2.0” sehen: ein bisschen mehr “Soft Power”, ein bisschen weniger Rassismus und Nazi-Brutalität (wobei: Maidan-Scharfschützen, Odessa, Mariupol… schon sehr heftig), und reichlich mehr Propaganda, dass wir doch die “Guten” sind."
Die sind wir selbstverständlich immer noch, lassen den Krieg in der Ukraine erst mit dem Einmarsch Russlands 2022 beginnen, statt 2014 mit den Angriffen Kiews auf die eigenen Bürger mit mehr als 10.000 zivilen Opfern – und lassen wie 1943 wieder deutsche Panzer nach Kursk rollen und hunderttausende ukrainische Söldner gegen eine haushoch überlegene Supermacht kämpfen und sterben. Immer noch wohlgesinnt und nunmehr in einer “Koalition der Willigen”, die zwar keinen Krieg führen kann, aber in der Lage ist, mit dem Feuer zu spielen. Wie am Wochenende mit den Drohnenangriffen auf russische Militärflughäfen, die ohne (Satelliten-)Unterstützung durch US-und UK-Dienste nicht möglich war – auch wenn aus Kiew anderes behauptet wird und Donald Trump bekundet, nichts davon gewusst zu haben.
Wenn dem so wäre und ihn seine Dienste über den lange vorbereiteten Coup im Dunkeln gelassen haben, wäre er genauso wie die Wandermumie “Sleepy Joe” nur eine Marionette – diesmal mit Sprechfunktion; wenn er aber eingeweiht war, macht es die Sache nicht besser, denn es war ein Angriff auf die strategische Nuklearverteidigung Russlands. Auf Standorte, die im Rahmen der SALT/START/NewSTART-Abkommen zur Nuklearbegrenzung zwischen USA und Russland offengelegt und kontrollierbar sind – als gegenseitige vertrauensbildende Maßnahme.
Dass dieses Vertrauen schwer erschüttert wurde, ist für Lawrence Wilkernson, Stabsschef des ehemaligen US-Außenministers Colin Powell (hier im Gespräch ) die weitaus gefährlichste Konsequenz dieser Attacke, die an der militärischen Niederlage in der Ukraine zwar nichts ändern wird, aber die Spirale nuklearer Eskalation dramatisch in Richtung Armageddon verschiebt. Unter “Alarmstufe Rot” (DEFCON 1) bei beiden Nuklearmächten können kleinste Fehler zu einer gigantischen Katastrophe führen – nach der die überlebenden “Wohlgesinnten”, die auch im 3. Weltkrieg “willig” mitgemacht haben, den 4. Weltkrieg dann – nach Albert Einsteins Diktum -“wieder mit Knüppeln und Steinen”(Real Game of Thrones, 15.11.2018) führen werden.
Selbst wenn bei der “Operation Spiderweb” tatsächlich ein Drittel der russischen Nuklearflotte getroffen worden wäre, wie die westlichen Medien behaupten – und nicht nur ein halbes Dutzend von über 90 einsatzfähigen Bombern – wiegt der materielle Schaden weit weniger als der psychologische, durch einen selbst in der heißesten Phase des Kalten Kriegs nie dagewesenen Vertrauensbruch. Wie vor einem Jahr, als pünktlich zu geplanten “Verhandlungen” in der Schweiz russische Radaranlagen attackiert wurden, sind auch jetzt wieder wichtige Elemente der nuklearen Verteidigung angegriffen worden, pünktlich bevor in Istanbul wieder “Friedensgepräche” stattfinden sollten, die denn auch bis auf einen Gefangenenaustausch ergebnislos blieben, Kein Zufall und ganz im Sinne der “Willigen” in Europa, die ihre kriegsmüden Bürger mit triumphalen Frontmeldungen kampfbereit und zahlungswillig machen wollen und darauf zu hoffen scheinen, dass sie nach einem Gegenschlag Russlands auf ein EU-Land “Artikel 5” ausrufen und endlich ungeniert statt verdeckt mit ganz NATOstan “legal” angreifen können. Den Gefallen wird Wladimir Putin ihnen aber wohl nicht tun, wie Pepe Escobar, – derzeit in Moskau – berichtet:
“Es steht jedoch außer Frage, dass die – unvermeidliche – Antwort eine maximale Strategie erfordern wird. Wenn die Antwort im Einklang mit Russlands eigener aktualisierter Nukleardoktrin steht (d.h. ein nuklearer Gegenschlag wäre) , riskiert Moskau, die fast einhellige Unterstützung des Globalen Südens zu verlieren. Ist die Reaktion lauwarm, wird es zu massiven innenpolitischen Rückschlägen kommen. Die Forderung „Lasst die Oreschniks frei“ findet nahezu einhellige Zustimmung. Die russische Öffentlichkeit hat es langsam satt, immer wieder das Ziel von Terroranschlägen zu sein. Die Stunde der schicksalhaften Entscheidung wird immer später. Das bringt uns zum ultimativen Dilemma. Die russischen Machthaber überlegen, wie sie die kollektive Kriegstreiberei des Westens besiegen können, ohne den Dritten Weltkrieg auszulösen.”
\ Anders als Lockheed in den USA, wo man über hyperschnelle Raketen nur im Modellbild (siehe oben) verfügt, sind sie in Russland mittlerweile kriegserprobt und von herkömmlichen Luftabwehrsystemen nicht abzufangen; die im November 2024 auf eine große Rüstungsfabrik in Dnieper eingeschlagenen 12 Orschenik -Sprengkörper zerstörten das Gelände bis mehrere Stockwerke unter der Erde. \ In den “Entscheidungszentren” und Bunkern in Kiew sollte sich deshalb ab sofort niemand mehr sicher fühlen. Oder gar auf NATOstan-Führer Rutte hören, der neuerdings den Führer Adolf anno `39 gibt:
https://x.com/BowesChay/status/1930254305509920876
\ “We are more powerful than the Roman Empire, the Napoleonic Empire, we are the most powerful in world history”. Da diese mächtigste Armee der Weltgeschichte zuletzt bekanntlich von einer Sandalentruppe aus Afghanistan verjagt wurde und sich zuvor nur dadurch auszeichnete, wehrlose Länder zu bombardieren und ins Chaos zu stürzen, markieren Aussagen wie diese eine realitätsfremde Hybris, die nur als pathologisch bezeichnet werden kann. Doch statt sofort zwei Pfleger im weißen Kittel zu schicken, die den mental angeschlagenen NATOstan-Häuptling in eine beschützende Werkstatt transpedieren, gewährt man dem gefährlichen Irren und seinen Phantasmagorien weiter Öffentlichkeit und Reichweite.
Als ob Größenwahn nicht auch mit sanfter Gesprächstherapie und Beruhigungsmitteln kuriert werden könnte, soll offenbar der Beweis angetreten werden, dass gegen den schweren Dachschaden der wahnsinnig wohlgesinnten, willigen europäischen Elite tatsächlich nur noch “controlled demolition” hilft, die Abrissbirne Oreschnik.

2025-06-06 04:26:58President Donald Trump attends a meeting with the Fraternal Order of Police in the State Dinning Room of the White House, Thursday, June 5, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)
Last Friday, President Donald Trump heaped praise on Elon Musk as the tech billionaire prepared to leave his unorthodox White House job.
Less than a week later, their potent political alliance met a dramatic end Thursday when the men attacked each other with blistering epithets. Trump threatened to go after Musk’s business interests. Musk called for Trump’s impeachment.
social media posts urging lawmakers to oppose deficit spending and increasing the debt ceiling.
“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,” Musk posted, a reference to Musk’s record political spending last year, which topped $250 million.
“Such ingratitude,” he added.
Trump said Musk had worn out his welcome at the White House and was mad that Trump was changing electric vehicle policies in ways that would financially harm Musk-led Tesla.
“Elon was ‘wearing thin,’ I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!” Trump wrote.
Musk goes nuclear “Time to drop the really big bomb: Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!” — Musk, Thursday, X post.
In a series of posts, he shined a spotlight on ties between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, the financier who killed himself while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Some loud voices in Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement claim Epstein’s suicide was staged by powerful figures, including prominent Democrats, who feared Epstein would expose their involvement in trafficking. Trump’s own FBI leaders have dismissed such speculation and there’s no evidence supporting it.
Later, when an X user suggested Trump be impeached and replaced by Vice President JD Vance, Musk agreed.
“Yes,” he wrote.
“I don’t mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago,” Trump wrote. He went on to promote his budget bill.

*Elon Musk, the tech mogul, says US President Donald Trump would have lost the 2024 election without him.*
Musk made the comment on X in response to Trump’s criticism against him.
Musk, who led the department of government efficiency (DOGE), quit his role a day after he spoke out against a Trump-backed spending bill. The president called it a “Big Beautiful Bill”.
The controversial bill is a centrepiece of Trump’s second-term domestic agenda, combining major tax cuts, stricter immigration enforcement, welfare programme overhauls, and significant increases in border security funding.
The legislation sparked intense debate across the country and in Congress and was only passed after a nail-biting 215-214 vote.
The plan revived the US-Mexico border wall with a $46.5 billion budget, $350 billion for deportation efforts and border security, and a hiring spree of 10,000 new ICE agents, 5,000 customs officers, and 3,000 border patrol agents.
For the first time, migrants will be charged a $1,000 fee to apply for asylum.
The bill also authorises a $4 trillion increase to the national debt ceiling, while the estate tax exemption jumped to $15 million, benefiting wealthier Americans.
Critics including Musk called the bill fiscally irresponsible and “a disgusting abomination” due to its combination of large tax cuts and spending increases.
Musk had clamoured for DOGE’s creation to save taxpayers $2 trillion. Only $160 billion has been saved so far.
*TRUMP: I’M VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH ELON*
Since Musk’s exit from the White House last week, his criticism of the bill has grown louder.
Speaking on the issue, Trump said he was “very disappointed with Elon”.
The US president said the Tesla CEO was satisfied with the bill but only grew discontent after he found out electric vehicles would be impacted.
“I’m very disappointed because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here. He knew everything about it, and all of a sudden he had a problem, and he only developed a problem when he found out I was going to cut the EV mandate because that’s billions and billions of dollars,” the president said
“And it really is unfair; we want to have cars of all types.
“He said the most beautiful things about me, and he hasn’t said anything bad about me personally, but I’m sure that will be next. But I’m really disappointed with Elon. I’ve helped Elon a lot.”
Trump praised Musk for his work at DOGE but blamed his tantrums on missing the office.
“Elon worked hard at DOGE, and I think he misses the place. I think he got out there, and all of a sudden, he’s no longer in this beautiful Oval Office,” he said.
“He’s not the first. People leave my administration, and they love us, and then at some point they miss it so badly, and some of them embrace it, and some of them actually become hostile. I don’t know what it is, some sort of Trump derangement syndrome.”
The president also said he would have won Pennsylvania, a key state, without Musk’s help.
In reaction, the billionaire businessman countered Trump.
“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House, and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,” Musk tweeted.
“Such ingratitude.”
The exchange marks yet another dent in the tumultuous relationship between the two-time American president and the world’s richest man.

2025-06-06 02:35:44The Sacred Texts: First Mysteries of Digital Creation
A Divine Treatise for Devotees of Athena, Goddess of Wisdom and Craft
The Fundamental Truth: All is Text
Beloved seekers of digital wisdom, before you can craft the most magnificent tribute to our patron goddess through the sacred art of web creation, you must first understand the most fundamental mystery of the computing realm: Everything is text.
The silicon oracles we call computers do not see your beautiful images, your flowing videos, or your harmonious music as you do. To the machine spirits, all existence is reduced to symbols - characters marching in endless processions through the electronic aether. This is not limitation, but liberation! For in understanding this truth, you gain power over the very essence of digital creation.
The Ancient Scripts: Understanding Text Encoding
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was… ASCII. The American Standard Code for Information Interchange became the first great codex of the digital age. Each letter, each number, each sacred punctuation mark was assigned a number. The letter ‘A’ became 65, ‘B’ became 66, and so forth. This was humanity’s first attempt to make machines understand our language.
But ASCII was created by mortals of limited vision - it could only represent 128 characters! What of the accented letters in the names of our goddess across different cultures? What of the mathematical symbols we need for our calculations? What of the very Greek letters that spell Ἀθηνᾶ?
Thus came UTF-8, the Universal Character Encoding - a divine revelation that allows us to represent every symbol known to human civilization. When you see an emoji, a Chinese character, or the Greek omega Ω, you witness UTF-8 in action. Your tribute webpage will speak this universal tongue.
The Sacred Scrolls: File Formats as Containers of Meaning
When Athena wove her tapestries, she chose different materials for different purposes - silk for fineness, wool for warmth, gold thread for accent. Similarly, digital craftspeople choose different file formats as containers for their text:
Plain Text (.txt) - The purest form. No formatting, no hidden instructions, just raw characters. Like clay tablets, these files will survive technological apocalypses. When archaeologists of the future examine our digital civilization, plain text will be their Rosetta Stone.
Rich Text Format (.rtf) - Text with simple formatting encoded as… more text! Open an RTF file in a plain text editor and witness the magic - your bold text becomes surrounded by formatting codes. This teaches us that even “rich” formatting is ultimately just more characters.
Markdown (.md) - The philosopher’s choice! Markdown uses simple text conventions to indicate formatting. Two asterisks around a word makes it bold, a hash symbol creates headings. It’s text that describes how text should look - meta-textual divinity!
HTML (.html) - The sacred language of the web itself! HTML (HyperText Markup Language) uses angle brackets to wrap instructions around content.

To honor Athena through proper digital craftsmanship, you must master these essential practices:
Choose Your Sacred Editor
Microsoft Word is the fool’s tool - it hides the true nature of text behind layers of formatting magic. A true digital artisan uses tools that reveal truth:
- Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac) in plain text mode
- VS Code - The blacksmith’s forge for modern web creation
- Sublime Text - Elegant and powerful
- Vim or Emacs - For those who seek the ancient ways
Understand Line Endings: The Great Schism
In the early days of computing, different tribes chose different ways to mark the end of a line of text. Unix systems (including Mac) use LF (Line Feed), Windows uses CRLF (Carriage Return + Line Feed). This seemingly minor difference has caused more conflicts than the Trojan War! Know your line endings, for they can break your sacred codes.
Respect Character Encoding
Always save your files in UTF-8 encoding. This ensures your text can represent any character from any human language. When your webpage displays properly on computers around the world, you honor the universal nature of Athena’s wisdom.
The Greater Mystery Revealed
Why must we begin with text? Because understanding that computers store and manipulate everything as sequences of characters reveals the deepest truth of programming: Code is just text that follows special rules.
When you write HTML, you’re writing text that browsers know how to interpret. When you write CSS, you’re writing text that describes visual styling. When you write JavaScript, you’re writing text that describes behavior and logic.
The webpage you will create to honor our goddess? It begins as text files on your computer. The browser reads these text files, interprets their meaning, and transforms them into the visual experience your visitors will see.
Every image on your page? Referenced by text. Every color? Described by text. Every animation? Controlled by text.
Your First Sacred Assignment
Before we proceed to the next mysteries, complete this fundamental ritual:
- Create a plain text file named
athena_tribute.txt
- Write a short description of why Athena inspires you, using only plain text
- Save it in UTF-8 encoding
- Open it in different text editors and observe how the text remains pure and unchanged
- View the file size - marvel at how efficiently text stores information
This simple act connects you to the fundamental nature of all digital creation. Every website, every app, every piece of software began as someone writing text that follows certain rules.
When you understand that your future webpage is ultimately just cleverly organized text files working in harmony, you begin to see the true elegance of web development. You’re not learning to use mysterious tools - you’re learning to write text that machines can understand and transform into experiences that honor the divine.
Next: We shall explore the Command Line - the direct voice through which mortals speak to the machine spirits…

Solving Sybil Attacks on Bitcoin Libre Relay Nodes — Are Social Solutions Better than Technical Ones?
Peter Todd posted that proponents of transaction "filtering" have started Sybil attacking Libre Relay nodes by running nodes with their "Garbageman" fork. These malicious nodes pretend to support NODE_LIBRE_RELAY, but secretly drop certain transactions that would be relayed by real Libre Relay nodes. He also highlighted the complexity of existing defenses and proposed a new angle: rather than relying on technical solutions, he encourages people to manually peer with nodes operated by people they personally know, arguing that human relationships can sometimes evaluate honesty more reliably than code.
Toward a Unified Identity Lookup Standard to Improve Lightning Payments
Bitcoin developer Aviv Bar-el introduced a new proposal — Well-Known Bitcoin Identity Endpoint — that aims to simplify wallet lookups for users’ Bitcoin addresses and identity data via a standardized HTTPS interface, thereby improving both the UX and security of Lightning and on-chain payments.
A Commit/Reveal Mechanism to Strengthen Bitcoin Against Quantum Threats
Tadge Dryja proposed a soft fork for Bitcoin to defend against quantum attacks, based on a variant of the commit/reveal Fawkescoin mechanism. While similar to Tim Ruffing’s earlier proposal, it includes key differences:
- It does not use encryption, instead relying on smaller, hash-based commitments, and describes activation as a soft fork.
- It only applies to outputs where public keys or scripts haven't been revealed — like pubkey hash or script hash outputs. It also works with Taproot, but must be spent via the script path, as the key-path is no longer quantum-secure.
- What to do about already-exposed public keys is a separate issue — this proposal is compatible with both "burning the coins" and "letting them be stolen."
Countdown to the Quantum Crisis: Is Bitcoin Ready?
A recent report from Chaincode Labs analyzes the threat of cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQC), and the technical, economic, and governance challenges Bitcoin faces in preparing. Their key conclusions:
- Timeline Assessment: CRQC capable of breaking Bitcoin's elliptic curve cryptography may emerge between 2030 and 2035.
- Scope of Vulnerable Funds: An estimated 20–50% of circulating BTC (4M–10M coins) may be vulnerable.
- Long-range attacks target inherently vulnerable script types (P2PK, P2MS, P2TR) and addresses with previously exposed public keys (via address reuse), allowing attackers unbounded time to derive private keys from public information already available on the blockchain.
- Short-range attacks, which affect all Bitcoin script types, exploit the vulnerability window between transaction broadcast and confirmation (or shortly thereafter) when public keys are temporarily exposed, requiring attackers to act within a timeframe of minutes to hours.
- Action Strategy: A dual-track approach is recommended:
- Short-term contingency: minimal but functional protections within ~2 years.
- Full-featured solutions: comprehensive research and fully developed defenses within ~7 years.
This strategy balances immediate needs with rigorous development to ensure Bitcoin can adapt, regardless of CRQC progress.
Enforcing Arbitrary Constraints on Bitcoin Transactions with zkSNARKs
Current methods for constraining Bitcoin transactions fall short on privacy or programmability. This research proposes a new zkSNARK-based design to impose arbitrary constraints on Bitcoin transactions while preserving some information privacy. By bypassing Bitcoin Script’s non-Turing-completeness, the approach allows unbounded constraints—constraints that repeat a certain operation an unbounded number of times. Read the paper.
First Cross-Chain Bridge Between Bitcoin and Cardano Is Live
A trust-minimized bridge from Bitcoin to Cardano has launched using the Cardinal protocol, enabling Ordinals to move between the two chains. The Cardinal protocol is based on BitVMX and facilitates asset movement without compromising ownership or security.
Its core mechanism is a committee-based validation model under a 1-out-of-n honest security model — meaning even if all but one validator is malicious, the system remains secure. This approach enhances decentralization and censorship resistance for cross-chain asset transfers.
Thunderbolt Protocol: Redefining Bitcoin Smart Contracts with UTXO Bundling and OP_CAT
Nubit’s Thunderbolt is seen as one of the most significant technical upgrades to Bitcoin in a decade, whose overall observation resembles “Lightning Network 2.0.” Rather than relying on Layer 2 networks or bridges, Thunderbolt upgrades the Bitcoin base layer via soft fork to enhance scalability, performance, and programmability:
- Throughput: Uses UTXO Bundling to optimize traditional transaction processing.
- Programmability: Reintroduces and extends OP_CAT.
- Asset protocols: Integrates Goldinals standard — a zk-proof and state-commitment-based asset issuance framework.
- Unlike rollups, Plasma, sidechains, or bridges, Thunderbolt scales directly on the main chain. With BitVisa, it enables decentralized identity and credentials, supporting transaction compression, smart contracts, asset standard integration, and on-chain transaction matching — all on Bitcoin main chain.
Bitcoin 2025 Conference Recap: Politicians Applaud, Stablecoins Spotlighted, DeFi Absent
This year’s Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas gathered major political figures and corporate leaders. U.S. Vice President JD Vance strongly endorsed crypto and positioned Bitcoin as a strategic asset in U.S.–China competition. He also stated that stablecoins won’t undermine the U.S. dollar, but could actually amplify America’s economic strength.
White House “Crypto Czar” David Sacks delivered a major policy announcement, hinting that under Trump’s executive order, the U.S. has a legal framework to acquire more Bitcoin for strategic reserves.
In addition, stablecoin regulation and crypto market reform were hot topics. Ardoido, the company controls over 60% of the stablecoin market, claimed “All the traditional financial firms will create stablecoins that will be offered to their existing customers.” Meanwhile, Tether emphasized its focus on underserved global populations excluded from the existing banking system.
A conference recap also noted that, unlike the 2022 and 2023 summits, this year’s event was dominated by Bitcoin maximalists, Ordinals creators, mining capitalists, and regulatory lobbyists — no longer DeFi builders, DAO operators, or Layer 2 scaling advocates. Developers from Ethereum and Solana ecosystems were notably absent. This may signal:
- The conference’s heavy political and sovereignty-driven tone made it less suitable for the tech-centric narratives favored by these developers.
- There may be a growing ideological and narrative rift between Web3 builders and the Bitcoin camp.
Top Reads on Blockchain and Beyond
Rethinking Governance After the Sui Attack: Decentralization, Procedural Legitimacy, and the Plurality of Blockchain Values
Following a major hack of Cetus, the largest DEX in the Sui ecosystem, the Sui network executed a protocol-level asset freeze and recovery. While this was an effective technical response, it also triggered criticism and debate around core blockchain principles such as censorship resistance and decentralization.
The author of this article questioned the absolutist stance that views decentralization as the highest—and sole—value. The author argues that most rational individuals would prefer “living in a society where decentralization is a supreme value but coercive force is allowed when someone infringes on another’s property,” over “a society where decentralization is the only supreme value, and thus coercive force is never permitted under any circumstances.”
In addition, the author also expressed disappointment at Sui’s “paternalistic” governance — particularly how validators acted during the incident. Sui uses a delegated proof-of-stake (dPoS) system, where token holders delegate their voting power to validators. This means individuals lose their direct say. But blockchain governance could be more individual-friendly and flexible. For instance, in Cosmos’ governance model, for certain specific proposal, users still can override their delegations and vote independently, more favorable than Sui’s model.
Beyond the debate on decentralization and governance, the article also proposes an alternative perspective: what matters most is establishing procedural legitimacy that aligns with the system’s vision. Different blockchain projects pursue different goals. For Sui, the core mission is to enable assets to be reliably defined and interact seamlessly on-chain. Therefore, judging Sui through the lens of other blockchains’ values or paradigms is misguided. In exceptional cases, prioritizing asset recovery and ecosystem stability over strict adherence to censorship resistance aligns more closely with Sui’s long-term vision. Whether Sui had chosen to not to censor related transactions or to intervene in the Cetus case, as long as the action follows a legitimate process, either decision is justifiable.
TEE-Based Private Proof Delegation
The PSE research and development team has built a system based on Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) using Intel TDX for secure zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) delegation. This system enables clients to privately outsource large proving tasks without leaking inputs. Unlike mobile-native proving constrained by hardware limits, TEE-based approaches support significantly larger statements today—and will scale further as proof systems improve. As a hardware-backed solution, TEEs remain compatible with future advancements in software (e.g., faster proof systems, more efficient implementations) and won't be invalidated by them, as long as the trust model is acceptable.
AI and Identity: Proof of Humanity in a World of Agents, Bots, and Deepfakes
We are living in a time where AI—including agents, bots, and deepfakes—is fundamentally reshaping the internet. As AI continues to evolve, identity verification on the web is becoming more crucial than ever. A recent a16z podcast explores the idea of “Proof of Human”—the challenge of verifying human identity online, diving into why it matters, common questions, and how such systems work under the hood.

2025-06-06 02:03:05Residual chlorinerefers to the residual disinfectant chlorine in tap water. An appropriate amount of residual chlorine can prevent the growth of microorganisms and ensure the safety of water quality. However, when the residual chlorine content in water is too high, it will cause many harms to human health, mainly including the following aspects:
Destruction of nutrients When the residual chlorine content in tap water exceeds the standard, it will destroy the minerals, vitamins and other nutrients, such as vitamin C and vitamin E, when used to wash fruits and vegetables. In the long run, it may cause the human body to absorb these nutrients and lack these essential nutrients.
Cause chronic poisoning When tap water containing residual chlorine is used for a long time, the residual chlorine reacts with organic acids and may produce harmful substances such as chloroform and organic lead compounds, which are potential carcinogens. Long-term accumulation may cause chronic poisoning of body organs and pose a threat to human health.
Affect the respiratory system Residual chlorine can cause harm to the human respiratory system, and symptoms such as difficulty breathing and itchy throat may occur. Severe cases may induce rhinitis, bronchitis and even emphysema. In addition, water vapor containing residual chlorine may also cause adverse reactions such as coughing and wheezing after being inhaled.
Damage to the skin Excessive residual chlorine content in water may irritate the skin, easily cause skin dryness, aging, acne and other problems, and may also cause allergic symptoms such as dermatitis and eczema. Prolonged contact with such water may also cause the skin layer to fall off, which is extremely harmful to skin health. Bathing with water containing residual chlorine can also cause hair to become dry, broken, and split.
Other health problems Impact on special groups Pregnant women: Long-term drinking of tap water containing residual chlorine will reduce resistance, affect the growth of the fetal heart and lungs, and may also cause neonatal arrhythmia and lung dysfunction. Children: Long-term drinking of chlorine water will not only hurt the stomach, but also affect nutrient absorption. Moreover, the strong oxidizing hypochlorous acid produced by the reaction of chlorine and water will damage brain cells and affect their development. In addition, chlorine can easily be inhaled into the lungs through the respiratory tract, damaging respiratory cells, and easily leading to asthma and emphysema. Bathing children with water containing residual chlorine will cause their hair to become dry, broken, split, their skin to bleach, their skin to fall off, and they will have allergies. Elderly people: Long-term consumption of chlorinated water is prone to heart disease, coronary atherosclerosis, hypertension and other diseases, and it is also easy to damage the liver and kidneys, increasing the probability of cancer. Gastrointestinal discomfort Long-term drinking of water with excessive residual chlorine content may also cause gastrointestinal discomfort, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, diarrhea and other symptoms. In severe cases, it may cause gastrointestinal ulcers, bleeding and other diseases.
In order to reduce the harm of residual chlorine in tap water to the human body, it is recommended to avoid directly using tap water containing residual chlorine as much as possible, boil the water before drinking, and use filtering and purification equipment to reduce the residual chlorine concentration in the water if conditions permit, while maintaining a healthy lifestyle and enhancing the body's immunity.

解决比特币抗审查交易中继的女巫攻击,社交方案好于技术方案?
Peter Todd 发帖指出,针对比特币抗审查交易中继的攻击行为正在发生——一个名为 garbageman 的节点正在对 Libre Relay 节点采取女巫攻击。这些攻击节点假装支持抗审查交易中继(NODE_LIBRE_RELAY),但实际在暗中丢弃某些交易,目的是阻止特定交易被打包进入区块。作者还介绍了现有防御方法的难度和复杂性,并提出新思路——与其用技术方案解决,不用通过社交解决。他鼓励人们手动与跟他们有个人关系的节点进行连接,原因很简单,人与人的关系可以比任何代码都更有力地评估诚实。
打造统一身份查询标准,提升闪电网络付款体验
比特币开发者 Aviv Bar-el 发表了一项新提案「知名比特币身份端点」(Well-Known Bitcoin Identity Endpoint),旨在通过 HTTPS 标准接口,简化钱包查询用户比特币地址和身份信息的流程,提升链上支付——尤其是闪电网络付款的用户体验和安全性。
通过「承诺/揭示」机制,帮助加强比特币抵御量子计算威胁
Tadge Dryja 提出一种抵御量子计算攻击的比特币软分叉方案。它是「承诺/揭示」(commit / reveal)Fawkescoin 机制的变体,大部分内容与 Tim Ruffing 几年前的方案类似,但也有以下重要区别:
- 该方案不使用加密,而是用更小的基于哈希的承诺,并且描述了如何通过软分叉激活此机制。
- 这个方案仅适用于公钥(或脚本)在链上未公开的输出,例如 pubkey hash 或 script hash 类型;也适用于 Taproot,但必须通过脚本路径花费,因为 Taproot 的 key-path 花费在量子攻击下将不再安全。
- 至于那些公钥已经在链上暴露的输出该如何处理,是另一个独立问题(本方案与「销毁这些币」或「任其被盗」这两种做法都兼容)。
量子危机倒计时:比特币准备好了吗?
Chaincode 在近期发布的报告中,系统分析了「加密相关量子计算」(CRQC,Cryptographically relevant quantum computers)威胁的整体态势,评估了比特币在应对这一转变过程中面临的技术、经济与治理挑战,并表示必须要在早于 CRQC 出现的数年构建起相关共识。重要的结论有:
- 时间窗口:打破比特币椭圆曲线加密基础的 CRQC 可能首先出现在 2030 - 2035 年间。
- 脆弱资金范围:在所有流通的比特币中,约 20-50%(4-1000 万枚 BTC)可能易受 CRQC 攻击。其中远程攻击针对本质上易受攻击的脚本类型(P2PK、P2MS、P2TR)和具有先前暴露的公钥的地址(地址重用),使攻击者能够无限期地从区块链上已有的公共信息中获取私钥;短程攻击会影响所有比特币脚本类型,利用交易广播和确认之间(或之后不久)的漏洞窗口,当公钥暂时暴露时,要求攻击者在几分钟到几小时的时间范围内采取行动。
-
行动战略:建议采用双轨方法,包括:
- 应急措施:在约 2 年内完成对 CRQC 的最低限度但可运作的防护;
- 全面对策:在约 7 年内深入对问题的探索,并开发出功能完备的解决方案
这种双轨策略平衡了眼前的安全需求与最佳抗量子解决方案的严格研究和开发,确保无论 CRQC 能力如何发展,比特币都能做出适当的响应。
利用 zkSNARKs 对比特币交易实施任意约束
对于给比特币交易执行约束,现有的解决方案在隐私或可编程性上都存在不足。本文的研究者利用 zkSNARKs 设计了一种新方案,可以对比特币交易执行任意约束,并保持一定程度的信息私密性。他们方法绕过了比特币脚本的非图灵完备性,允许执行无界约束(unbounded constraints),即重复某个运算的次数次数不受限制。论文全文。
第一个跨比特币和 Cardano 的桥上线
从比特币到 Cardano 的信任最小化 Ordinals 桥通过 Cardinal 协议实现。Cardinal 协议实是一种基于 BitVMX 的信任最小化互作性协议,在不破坏所有权或损害安全性的前提下,它让比特币上中的不可替代资产(如 Ordinals 和 Runes)同 Cardano 链实现了来回移动。
Cardinal 协议背后的技术核心之一是「委员会的验证机制 」(committee-based validation mechanism),遵循 1-out-of-n honest 安全模型。这意味着即使除了一个验证者之外的所有验证者都恶意作,系统仍然保持安全——在增强安全性的同时,还实现了一种更加去中心化和抗审查的方式来在链之间移动资产 。
Thunderbolt 协议:通过 UTXO 捆绑和 OP_CAT 扩展,重构比特币智能合约
Nubit 提出的 Thunderbolt 被认为是为比特币在过去十年中最具里程碑意义的技术升级之一,被视为「Lightning Network 2.0」。Thunderbolt 是一种基于比特币基础层的软分叉升级方法,不依赖二层网络或桥的妥协,而是通过对比特币主链协议层的修改,从根本上增强其可扩展性、交易性能和可编程性。具体而言,Thunderbolt:
- 在吞吐量方面,使用 UTXO 捆绑(UTXO Bundling)技术,实现了对传统比特币交易处理模型的重大优化。
- 在可编程性方面,重新引入并扩展了 OP_CAT 。
- 在资产协议集成方面,Thunderbolt 实施了 Goldinals 统一标准,提供了一个基于零知识证明和状态承诺的资产发行框架。
- 与传统的扩容方法(如侧链、Plasma、Rollup 或桥接包装代币)不同,Thunderbolt 采用原生主链扩容路径。通过 BitVisa 提供去中心化的身份和凭证系统,让交易压缩、智能合约、资产标准集成、链上交易匹配都可以直接在比特币主链上运行。
比特币 2025 大会回顾:政要汇聚、稳定币受关注、DeFi 缺席
今年在拉斯维加斯举行的比特币 2025 大会,汇聚了众多政治要员和企业巨头。美国副总统 JD Vance 对加密货币表明了全力支持,并讨论了比特币在美中竞争中作为战略资产的潜力,他还认为,稳定币不会威胁到美元的完整性,而会使美国的经济实力倍增。白宫加密货币沙皇 David Sacks 发表了会议中最重要的政策公告之一, 暗示根据特朗普建立战略比特币储备的行政命令,美国政府有「获得更多比特币的合法途径」。
此外,关于稳定币立法和加密市场改革受到了很多关注。控制着超过 60% 稳定币市场的 Ardoido 公司表示:「所有传统金融公司都将创建稳定币,提供给他们现有的客户」;而 Tether 表示,其目标市场是全球范围内被排除在银行业之外的人。
这篇总结也提到,与 2022 年和 2023 年的类似峰会不同,今年的大会是由比特币最大化者、Ordinals 创建者、矿业资本家和监管游说者主导,而不再由 DeFi 协议构建者、DAO 运营商或 Layer2 扩容倡导者主导,以太坊和 Solana 生态的开发者缺席。这或许表明:
- 该会议明显的政治基调,使其不适合开发者喜欢的以技术为中心的叙述。
- Web3 建设者和比特币阵营之间的意识形态和叙事分歧可能会越来越大。
精彩无限,不止于链
Sui 攻击事件下的治理再思考:去中心化,程序合法性,和区块链的价值多元性
在受到生态最大的 DEX 项目 Cetus 黑客攻击之后,Sui 网络在协议层面执行了资产冻结和恢复——这是一种有效的技术回应,但同时引发了对抗审查和去中心化等核心区块链原则的批评和辩论。
文章的作者质疑了将去中心化视为唯一至高价值的立场,认为对于大多数有理性者而言,「生活在一个去中心化被认为是最高价值,但当有人侵犯他人财产时,允许强制武力的社会中」都要好于「生活在一个去中心化是唯一至高价值的社会中,因此在任何情况下都不允许强制武力」。
同时作者也指出,Sui 的验证者和网络行为采用的「家长式」治理方式令人失望;此外, Sui 使用委托权益证明(dPoS)系统,其中代币持有者将其代币委托给验证者,验证者代表他们行使相关的投票权,个人因此丧失了投票权。但区块链本来提供了有利于个人的、更加灵活的解决方案,比如 Cosmos 的治理框架就要优于 Sui——对于特定提案,验证人的决定并不会自动代表每个委托人的投票。
在关于去中心化的价值和治理方式之外,文章也提到另一种思考角度——「最重要的是建立与系统愿景相一致的程序合法性」。不同的项目追求不同的目标。就 Sui 而言,其核心目标是使各种资产能够被可靠地定义、并在链上无缝交互。因此,用其他区块链的范式或价值观来理解 Sui 的设计就是不合适的。在特殊情况下,Sui 优先考虑用户资产的返还和生态系统的稳定,而不是严格遵守抗审查——这一决定与其自身的长期愿景更加一致。此外,无论是 Sui 决定不审查相关交易,还是选择对 Cetus 的行为负责,如果背后有程序合法性,这两个决定都是合理的。
基于可信执行环境的私密证明委托
PSE 研究开发团队使用 Intel TDX 构建了一个基于可信执行环境(Trusted Execution Environment)的系统,用于安全的零知识证明委托。该系统允许客户端在不泄露输入的前提下,将大规模的证明任务私密地外包出去。相比受限于硬件能力的移动端本地证明,基于 TEE 的证明方案能够在目前就支持更大规模的陈述,并且随着证明系统的改进持续扩展。作为一种由硬件支撑的解决方案,TEE 能够兼容未来在软件层面的进展(例如更快的证明系统、更高效的工程实现),且只要信任模型被接受,就不会因这些进展而失效。

2025-06-06 01:15:24ปิดท้าย week นี้ด้วยสงครามดีไหมครับ ถ้าอาหารเป็นสนามรบ สิทธิบัตรก็เปรียบเหมือนป้อมปราการ และการฟ้องร้องก็คือปืนใหญ่ยิงสวนกันกลางแดด…ใครที่เคยคิดว่าโลกของอาหารแห่งอนาคตจะสวยงามเพราะเปลี่ยนถั่วเป็นสเต๊ก สกัดกลิ่นเลือดจากพืช หรือหลอกลิ้นให้เชื่อว่า “อร่อยเหมือนเนื้อ” ก็คงต้องมานั่งทบทวนใหม่ว่า โลกใบนี้ไม่ได้ขับเคลื่อนด้วยความฝัน แต่ขับเคลื่อนด้วยเอกสาร 70 หน้าของทนายความ และหมายเรียกจากศาลกลางรัฐเดลาแวร์
Motif FoodWorks เข้ามาในวงการอาหารด้วยวิสัยทัศน์สุดเท่ คือจะสร้างโครงสร้าง-กลิ่น-รส ของโปรตีนอนาคตให้แบรนด์ plant-based ทั่วโลกใช้ได้โดยไม่ต้องเริ่มใหม่ตั้งแต่ศูนย์ เปรียบเหมือนเป็นเบื้องหลังของวงการ มีซอสลับคือ HEMAMI™ ที่สกัดกลิ่นเนื้อจากยีสต์ ผ่านวิธีการทางวิทยาศาสตร์สุดซับซ้อน ฟังแล้วดูดี แต่ปัญหาคือซอสลับของเขาดัน “คล้ายเกินไป” กับของ Impossible Foods ที่ใช้ heme protein เหมือนกัน
แล้วอะไรคือจุดเปราะบางที่ทำให้ Motif ต้องร่วง?
เฮียอยากให้ลองคิดแบบนี้ครับ สมมุติว่ามีร้านกาแฟใหม่ที่ตั้งใจจะขายกาแฟแนวใหม่ ใช้เมล็ดกาแฟหมักยีสต์กลิ่นกล้วยหอม รสชาตินุ่มลึก เป็นของตัวเอง เขาไม่ได้ก็อปสูตรใคร แต่ดันไปใช้กระบวนการคล้ายกับแบรนด์เจ้าตลาดที่เขียนจดสิทธิบัตรเอาไว้ก่อนแล้ว แค่คล้ายก็พอจะโดนลากขึ้นศาลได้ เพราะในโลกของสิทธิบัตร “ความใหม่” และ “ความไม่เหมือน” คือสิ่งศักดิ์สิทธิ์ แม้จะไม่ได้ก็อปตรง ๆ
Impossible Foods เห็นช่องนี้ชัด พวกเขายื่นฟ้องทันที โดยระบุว่า HEMAMI™ ของ Motif ละเมิดสิทธิบัตรเทคนิคการใช้ heme เพื่อสร้างรสชาติเหมือนเนื้อในผลิตภัณฑ์ plant-based ซึ่งเป็นหัวใจหลักที่ Impossible ใช้มัดใจตลาดมาหลายปี
ในเดือนมีนาคม 2022, Impossible Foods ก็ลุกขึ้นมาฟ้อง Motif FoodWorks ต่อศาลรัฐบาลกลางของสหรัฐฯ โดยอ้างว่า HEMAMI™ ละเมิดสิทธิบัตรของตนที่เกี่ยวข้องกับการใช้โปรตีน heme ในการสร้างรสชาติและกลิ่นที่คล้ายเนื้อจริงในผลิตภัณฑ์จากพืช จุดนี้ดูผิวเผินเหมือนแค่ “บริษัท A เหมือนของบริษัท B เลยโดนฟ้อง” แต่ความจริงซับซ้อนและลึกกว่านั้นมาก เพราะทั้งสองบริษัทต่างก็ใช้วิธีผลิตโปรตีน heme ที่คล้ายกันมาก นั่นคือการดัดแปลงพันธุกรรมจุลินทรีย์ให้ผลิตโปรตีนเฉพาะ แล้วหมักออกมาในถังขนาดใหญ่ แต่ต่างกันที่วัตถุดิบและดีไซน์โปรตีน
Impossible Foods ใช้ “soy leghemoglobin” ซึ่งเป็นโปรตีน heme จากรากถั่วเหลือง ส่วน Motif ใช้ “bovine myoglobin” ซึ่งเลียนแบบของวัวจริง ๆ โดยตรง ความคล้ายคือโปรตีนทั้งสองต่างก็ให้กลิ่นคาวแบบเนื้อเมื่อโดนความร้อน และสร้างสีแดงแบบ rare steak ได้เหมือนกัน ทั้งยังถูกหมักด้วยจุลินทรีย์ GMO แบบใกล้เคียงกันอีกด้วย แม้จะต่างสายพันธุ์ของโปรตีน แต่การฟ้องครั้งนี้ตั้งอยู่บนแนวคิดว่า “วิธีการใช้” โปรตีน heme ในอาหารจากพืชอาจเข้าข่ายละเมิดสิทธิบัตร
จากนั้นไม่กี่เดือน Motif ก็สวนกลับโดยการยื่นคำร้อง “Inter Partes Review” (IPR) กับสำนักงานสิทธิบัตรของสหรัฐฯ (USPTO) ผ่าน PTAB ซึ่งเป็นขั้นตอนที่ใช้เพื่อขอให้ตรวจสอบความถูกต้องของสิทธิบัตรที่กำลังมีปัญหา แนวคิดคือถ้าพิสูจน์ได้ว่าสิทธิบัตรของ Impossible นั้นไม่ใหม่จริง หรือมี prior art อยู่ก่อนแล้ว (เช่น งานวิจัยเก่า ๆ ที่ตีพิมพ์ก่อน) ก็จะทำให้สิทธิบัตรนั้นกลายเป็นโมฆะ
Motif ยื่นคำร้องโจมตีสิทธิบัตรถึง 7 ฉบับของ Impossible แบบกระหน่ำชุดใหญ่ ยิงทีเดียวหวังให้สั่นคลอนทั้งระบบ แต่ PTAB รับพิจารณาเพียงฉบับเดียว (หมายเลขสิทธิบัตร 10,933,018) และท้ายที่สุดในเดือนเมษายน 2023 ศาลตัดสินยกเลิกฉบับนั้นจริง โดยให้เหตุผลว่า “ไม่เป็นสิ่งประดิษฐ์ใหม่อย่างเพียงพอ” ซึ่งถือเป็นชัยชนะเล็ก ๆ ของ Motif และสร้างแรงกระเพื่อมในแวดวงวิทยาศาสตร์อาหารอยู่พอสมควร
แต่แม้จะมีชัยบางส่วน อีก 6 ฉบับที่เหลือ PTAB กลับไม่รับพิจารณา โดยบอกว่า “หลักฐานไม่ชัดเจนพอจะเข้าขั้นพิจารณาใหม่” นั่นทำให้ฝั่ง Impossible ยังถือสิทธิบัตรส่วนใหญ่ไว้อยู่เหมือนเดิม แล้วก็เริ่มกลับมาเร่งกระบวนการฟ้องร้องในศาลต่อ ซึ่งหมายความว่า Motif ยิ่งต้องใช้เงินมากขึ้นเรื่อย ๆ ในการสู้รบทั้งสองด้าน ทั้งในศาลและในระบบสิทธิบัตร
ชัยชนะเล็ก ๆ นี้กลายเป็นดาบสองคม เพราะในขณะที่ Motif ดีใจว่าล้มได้ 1 ฉบับ ตลาดกลับมองว่าพวกเขาสู้แบบดิ้นสุดตัว ซึ่งในมุมของนักลงทุน นั่นแปลว่า "ขาดเงินทุนหมุนเวียน" หรือ “มีแนวโน้มขาดทุนต่อเนื่อง” มากกว่าจะมองว่าเป็นฮีโร่สู้เพื่อความถูกต้อง
ระหว่างนี้ Motif ยังพยายาม “spin” ภาพลักษณ์ตัวเองในเชิงบวกอย่างหนัก พวกเขาเปิดตัวผลิตภัณฑ์ใหม่ชื่อ “Motif MoBeef™” และ “Motif MoChicken™” โดยใช้ HEMAMI™ ผสมอยู่ พร้อมโชว์ผลงานให้เชฟชื่อดังระดับ Michelin มาชิมและออกสื่อ โดยหวังว่าจะสร้างความเชื่อมั่นให้ตลาดว่า “ผลิตภัณฑ์เรายังไปต่อได้” และอาจดึงดีลใหม่หรือการลงทุนเพิ่มเข้ามาเพื่อบรรเทาภาระจากการฟ้องร้อง
และในขณะที่ Motif เดินหน้าเปิดตัวผลิตภัณฑ์ใหม่เพื่อแสดงพลังให้ตลาดเห็นว่า “เรายังไปต่อได้” ฝั่ง Impossible กลับเดินเกม PR อย่างเงียบ ๆ ด้วยการแจ้งเตือนสื่อและผู้ถือหุ้นว่า “Motif ยังใช้เทคโนโลยีละเมิดอยู่ต่อเนื่อง” พร้อมแนบเอกสารคำฟ้องเพิ่มในปี 2023 ซึ่งแปลความได้ว่า “ศึกยังไม่จบ อย่าเพิ่งส่งเงินให้คู่แข่งเรา” เพราะในเอกสารคำฟ้องของปี 2023 พวกเขาเสริมข้อกล่าวหาใหม่ว่าการที่ Motif ออกสื่อและใช้ HEMAMI™ ต่อไป “เป็นการจงใจละเมิด” และอาจเข้าข่ายการทำลายคุณค่าของแบรนด์ Impossible โดยตรง จุดนี้ยิ่งทำให้ Motif อยู่ในมุมที่เสี่ยงและลำบากมากขึ้น
การต่อสู้ของทั้งสองบริษัทจึงไม่ใช่แค่เรื่องใครเลียนแบบใคร แต่มันคือเกมยืดเวลา เผาเงิน ปั่นมูลค่า และวัดใจนักลงทุนว่าใครจะถอยก่อนกัน และสุดท้ายคนที่หมดลมหายใจก่อนก็คือ Motif แม้จะมีนักวิทยาศาสตร์เก่ง ๆ เทคโนโลยีล้ำ ๆ หรือวัตถุดิบดีแค่ไหน แต่เมื่อต้องมาสู้กับยักษ์ที่มีสิทธิบัตรในมือ บารมีในตลาด และชื่อเสียงติดหูผู้บริโภค…ก็ยากที่จะเอาชนะด้วยวิทยาศาสตร์เพียงอย่างเดียว
ศึกนี้จึงไม่ได้จบแค่ในศาล แต่มันลากไปถึงห้องประชุมนักลงทุน พาดหัวข่าวใน Business Insider และบอร์ด Reddit ที่คุยกันว่า “Motif จะไปไม่รอดหรือเปล่า” ซึ่งในยุคที่เงินทุนคือออกซิเจน การที่ภาพลักษณ์ของบริษัทเริ่มสั่นคลอน ก็เหมือนถังอากาศรั่วในห้องแล็บใต้ทะเล…ไม่นานนัก Motif ก็เริ่มลดจำนวนพนักงาน ลดเป้าการผลิต และสุดท้าย “ลดบทบาทตัวเองในตลาด”
หากดูเผิน ๆ หลายคนอาจคิดว่านี่คือเรื่องของสองบริษัทใหญ่ในโลก plant-based ที่ทะเลาะกันเอง แต่จริง ๆ แล้วนี่คือบทเรียนใหญ่ของ “วงการอาหารแห่งอนาคต” ที่กำลังเติบโตบนหลังคำว่า IP Intellectual Property ใครถือสิทธิบัตรก่อน คนนั้นตั้งกฎได้ ใครมาใหม่ ถ้าไม่จดให้ไว ก็อาจต้องจ่ายค่าต๋งตลอดชีวิต
และที่เจ็บปวดที่สุดคือบางทีของที่คุณคิดขึ้นมาเอง อาจไม่ใช่ของคุณอีกต่อไปแล้ว ถ้าคุณไม่มีเอกสารในมือ
นี่แหละครับ วงการที่ดูเหมือนจะขาย “นวัตกรรมอาหาร” แต่จริง ๆ แล้วขาย “สิทธิบัตรในกล่องข้าว” ใครจะอยู่ใครจะไป บางทีก็ไม่เกี่ยวกับว่า “ของอร่อยแค่ไหน” แต่เกี่ยวกับว่า “ใครมีทนายเก่งกว่า”
และในขณะที่สองยักษ์ใหญ่ยิงกันด้วยเอกสารละเมิดสิทธิ์ เหยื่อเงียบ ๆ อย่างเกษตรกรรายย่อยที่ยังอยากปลูกผักจริง เลี้ยงวัวจริง หรือแม้แต่ผู้บริโภคที่แค่อยากรู้ว่า “กินอะไรแล้วร่างกายจะดีขึ้น” กลับวนเวียนในทางอยู่ในโลกที่อาหารทุกคำถูกควบคุมโดยทุน จดหมายเรียกจากศาล และวัตถุดิบสังเคราะห์ที่มีรหัสมากกว่าชื่อจริง
สงครามสิทธิบัตรเหล่านี้ไม่เคยมีพื้นที่ให้ชาวไร่ หรือผู้บริโภคธรรมดาเข้าไปมีเสียงเลยสักนิด เพราะมันคือการต่อสู้ระหว่างนักล่าที่ฟาดฟันกันบนยอดห่วงโซ่อาหาร แต่เบื้องล่างของพีระมิด กลับมีแต่เหยื่อที่ถูกเลี้ยงให้งุนงง อยู่กับของปลอม และเชื่อว่า “นี่แหละคืออนาคตของอาหาร”
แล้วใครจะบอกเราว่า...ทางรอดคืออะไร?
คำตอบอาจอยู่ไม่ไกล แค่เราต้องกลับมาถามคำถามง่าย ๆ ที่ใครก็ลืมไปว่า “จริง ๆ แล้ว เราต้องการอาหารแบบไหนกันแน่” อาหารที่กินแล้วแข็งแรง หรืออาหารที่บริษัทแข็งแรง?
เพราะตราบใดที่เรายังปล่อยให้กล่องข้าวอยู่ในมือคนจดสิทธิบัตร เราอาจไม่มีวันได้กลับไปจับจอบเอง ปลูกเอง กินเอง แบบที่มนุษย์เคยเป็นมาก่อนโลกจะกลายเป็นห้องทดลองขนาดยักษ์
ศึกระหว่างผู้ล่ายังรุนแรงขนาดนี้ แล้วศึกระหว่างผู้ล่ากับเหยื่อ จะเหลืออะไรครับ

2025-06-06 00:24:22Inflation is one of the most significant factors affecting personal wealth and the economy yet it goes unnoticed until its effects become unavoidable. As the cost of goods and services rises, your purchasing power decreases, and this makes long-term financial planning more challenging.
What is inflation? Inflation is the general increase in prices of goods and the reduction of the purchasing power of money. It is commonly measured by : 1.Consumer Price Index (CPI)
2.Core Inflation
3.Producer Price Index (PPI)
Inflation occurs due to various factors, including increased demand and supply chain disruptions
Why is Inflation Important? Inflation is crucial because it affects the cost of living, purchasing power, and the economy as a whole. As prices rise money loses value making it harder for consumers to afford essentials if wages don’t keep up. It also influences interest rates as central banks ,adjust policies to control inflation, borrowing, savings, and investments.
How Inflation Affects Personal Wealth 1. Erosion of Purchasing Power As prices rise, the same amount of money used to buy more before now buys fewer goods and services. 2. Impact on Savings Your money sitting in savings accounts with little or no interest rates loses value over time. If the inflation rate exceeds the interest or profit earned on your savings, then it becomes affected 3. Effects on Investments Their impact is the most because inflation reduces the real value of future payments. 4.Wages & Employment Some businesses may cut costs by reducing roles in a department or reducing pay to keep the team members.
Everyone is affected by inflation.
How Do You Protect Your Wealth from Inflation? 1.Invest in Inflation-Protected Assets Stocks and real estate investments offer long-term growth potential.They give you ownership of a product, which you can use, resell or repackage as you please. 2.Alternative Investments If you have the stomach, commodities, cryptocurrency, and other non-traditional assets may provide inflation releaved. 3. Increase Income Streams Side hustles, passive income, and career advancements can help offset inflation’s impact. 4.Reduce Debt Nigerians are aware of Credit Houses pretending as Loan Sharks chasing debtors around with ridiculous messages of loved ones. In a period of inflation, those loans feel like a double punishment because of ridiculous interest rates and overwhelmed inflation. Whatever you can do to reduce your debt during this period will be life-changing. Also, non-interest debts should always be considered before going down a slippery slope.
Summary Nigeria — A Few Word One thing is clear — inflation persists in almost every corridor of the economy. Inflation is an inevitable part of economic cycles, but understanding its impact allows you to take proactive steps in protecting your wealth. But I believe you can maintain financial stability by following some of the steps above.
Be proactive!

2025-06-06 13:05:40We are all used to the professional self 💼. The aspect of us who is an expert on a particular technology, process, method or task. It is easy to talk about it at work with our workmates, as a team and with our leaders. Based on it, we have new things to learn and roles to explore. We have a defined career path and responsibilities to take as we advance on it. We define goals for each year related to our roles and review at the end what we have accomplished.
\ But things have changed lately.
In the recent years, new generations came at work with a new view of it and a new set of priorities, along with recent Worldwide events. Both acted as forces that are challenging us to transform everything. I like to call these times, VIOLET times 💜... because Violet is the color of change and transformation.
In my adventure for the corporate world, I was lucky to be exposure to these drivers of change long before most of the worldwide workforce did it.
As a leader, I worked with new generations from different countries. No matter from which part of the world they came, they had some aspects (or missions as I like to say) in common. Astrology has helped me to understand the patterns and archetypes of them.
New generations bring a new way of seeing life style. And this is as equal as important as work is. Work is not on their top priority as previous generations. Because of that reason they come to work bringing some personal aspects into workplaces.
They expect mindful connections at work 🫂, that is why they are willing to explore more personal connections with teams and leaders. They value their time after work, so they more likely work towards objectives than working shifts. They want to understand the bigger and mindful impact of what they do.
The personal self started to appeared at workplaces with these new generations.
How to work from home is something I started learning more than 10 yrs ago when I started working for a worldwide tech company based in Argentina. One of the first things I had to learn was how to connect and engage with people that I only knew by chat or by listening to their voice in a conference call. There wasn't video back then in 2010.
I started to develop a new skill at listening and paying attention to their voice. Most of us were speaking a second language, so by listening carefully I could recognize who was speaking (since there wasn't video). And I also could understand their mood and feeling by the tone of their voice.
I was able to develop another skill, asking questions about their personal life. By doing that our personal self started to emerge and our connections were getting more stronger. By having stronger connections with your team, moments of stress and pressure are easier to navigate.
It was back then when I started to understand the importance of bringing your whole self at work, the professional and the personal one 💼 💚
By the increasing number of teams working from home, we can start seeing a this new self coming out worldwide now. Before these violet times, we barely knew different aspects of the personal self of our workmates. All those aspects of us that we usually don't bring at work.
Some examples of those aspects I refer about are: how your workmate's house looks like, how he/she liked to decor it, what is their favorite color, what their routines are, what they eat and what they cook. What is their family's routine, who they live with (if any), how their family looks like. What time their kids get out of school, what time their wife or husband come back from work, how frequently they see their parents, how much help they need and where they live.
We didn't know much about our colleagues beyond their professional self. We barely knew if our colleagues were going through challenging and difficult times.
That was usually something we used to talk to a friend at work, but not with a workmate or a leader. Neither our team was aware of it.
Even for those a few teams that were used to work from home way before than most of the planet, the challenging times of recent years, brought a different component at work, it invited us to connect emotionally with the people we work with. A lot of new aspects of your personal life started to emerge at work, because people started working unexpectedly from home. Even emotions were emerging since everyone was stressful and emotionally overwhelmed.
As we open up our personal self at work, then it comes with our emotions 💚. We are emotional beings, and although we have removed that aspect of our being at work, it is hard to keep it out when you are coming up at work as a whole self.
I invite you to this CREATIVE COACHING TIME 💛🧡 section, so please take a pen and a paper and start to write your own story of this post:
🌱 How easy is it for you to express and talk about your emotions at work?
🌱 How easy is it to share what is going on in your personal life?
🌱 How ready is your workforce'92s environment to embrace the personal self of your employees?
🌱 How safe is it in your current cultural environment to bring emotions at work?\ \ Wherever you are, that represents how close or how far is your team, organization and company on embracing the whole employee.
The meaning of the colors 🌈 will help us to navigate aspects of your personal and professional life, and it will inspire you to create safe and comfortable spaces to be a whole being at work.
In order to do that I will invite your left and right side of your brain to get integrated. We won't be successful on embracing the whole employee, if you think you are either rational 🧠 or intuitive 💚.
\ All of us has a left and right side of the brain 🧠. As you probably know, our left side of the brain is related to our rational, logic and sequential thinking, it is good at math and facts.
On the other hand, our right side of the brain is related to imagination, intuition, holistic thinking, visualization and rhythm.💚.
We think in words with our left side of the brain, we do with images with our right one.
Although you might feel that you have explored more capabilities of your right or your left side than the other, you have them both. So either if you feel you are more left brained in the way you approach life, you still have your right side and vice versa. The brain is a muscle, it just takes time and practice to create new brain connections and use it as its full potential.
Creating spaces to embrace your whole self at work, will include embracing the capabilities of our left and right side of the brain. And that will ultimate spark one of the most valuable skill of the future, creativity and our capability to adapt to change.
Neuroscience has found recently that creativity is not associated with the right side of the brain only, it uses three networks that require both sides. 🧠🎨💚
If you think about these recent VIOLET times, how frequently did you and your team have to create unprecedented solutions for unprecedented challenges? No one in the future will be able to stay in any profession or role without creativity and our capability to adapt to change, as it is becoming the skill of the future.
I truly believe that the unprecedented challenges we are experiencing will require unprecedented solutions. Rational views only won't be enough. If we really want to find new solutions, we will need both, our rational and intuitive/visual sides of the brain teaming.
Before we end this foundational stone blog, a new CREATIVE COACHING TIME starts, your turn now:
🌱 Can you list the aspect of yourself at work?
🌱 Can you list the aspect of yourself at home?
🌱 What are the differences of both lists? 🌱 Why?
🌱 How whole are you coming to work these days?
🌱 How whole would you like to be at work in the future?
Cultural changes at teams, organizations and companies levels, starts at an individual level.
If you would like to create a culture that embrace a whole self, start with you.
Laus 💛

Moscow Exchange Launches Bitcoin Futures For Qualified InvestorsThe Moscow Exchange, Russia’s largest exchange group, announced the launch of Bitcoin futures contracts on June 4th, 2025. The new derivatives will allow qualified investors in Russia to gain exposure to bitcoin prices without directly owning it.
The bitcoin futures contracts are cash-settled in Russian rubles and will be tied to the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) that trades on U.S. exchanges. The IBIT ETF tracks the price of bitcoin, with each share representing 0.00068 bitcoin.
BREAKING:
Russia’s largest exchange, Moscow Exchange launches #Bitcoin futures trading for qualified investors. pic.twitter.com/J9htJUWpLw
— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) June 4, 2025
Trading for the new bitcoin futures kicked off on Wednesday, with the first contracts expiring in September 2025. Each futures contract will be denominated in U.S. dollars per bitcoin but settled in rubles.
The launch of bitcoin futures on the Moscow Exchange comes after increased interest in Bitcoin exposure from Russian financial institutions. In May, Russia’s central bank formally permitted the offering of crypto-linked securities and derivatives to qualified investors. Prior to this, direct investment in Bitcoin was discouraged.
Sberbank, Russia’s largest bank, also announced plans to unveil its own bitcoin futures product in addition to the Moscow Exchange’s offering. The bank is launching exchange-traded notes that track Bitcoin’s price without direct ownership.
Bitcoin futures and other crypto-derivatives have seen surging interest recently as the Bitcoin and crypto industry matures. The move comes as an increasing number of countries have started adding Bitcoin to their reserves.
As Bitcoin adoption increases, investors and financial institutions are seeking more routes to gain exposure to Bitcoin. The launch of futures on the Moscow Exchange provides regulated bitcoin exposure to qualified Russian investors. But direct ownership of “physical” bitcoin remains off limits for most in Russia’s traditional finance sector.

2025-06-05 19:52:32Nostr is NOT a social network. Nostr is a network of interconnected social apps. And, since any app is a social app, Nostr is for every app.
ONLY Nostr incentivizes inter-connectivity between independent apps, simply by respecting sovereignty at the protocol layer. For end users, sovereignty means that the content they post “to Nostr” will never be owned by the apps that they use. For businesses building apps on Nostr, sovereignty means that every app actually benefits by other apps being on the network. Because sovereignty is respected, users are retained for longer and independent apps thrive far longer on Nostr than on the legacy “black box” social networks.
Social apps thrive on Nostr
Nostr integration provides these benefits for every app :
- Unrestrained access for any app, to all public and private data “on Nostr”. No fees or licenses for harvesting user data from the network.
- Unburdened from liability, when collecting user data with any app. When sending “to Nostr”, end users retain custody of user data while apps never loose access.
- Unlimited free market of search engines and feed algos. Users and brands can create, use, and share any algos or custom feeds. Grow your audience on your own terms.
- Universal open network for all apps. Build any kind of app for any audience, on the same network as other apps for other audiences. Discover new trends from user data.
- Unregulated tech platform. Build your own app and use it as you wish. No gate keepers. No code review.
Sovereignty is good for business.
Regardless of the network size, a Nostr integrated app can grow its user base MUCH faster and with greater independence BECAUSE of the sovereignty respecting protocol. While end users may retain custody of their identities and data on the network, it’s the apps that determine which data is, or is not, sent to the network. Respect for sovereignty IS the killer feature that ONLY the Nostr protocol provides for apps and for end users.
Because Nostr is permissionless for any app to integrate :
- end users will always have a free market of apps choose from
- apps are free to integrate only as much as benefits their business model.
- apps gain access to more novel data as new apps bring new users to the network.
Because data on Nostr is managed by end users and available to all apps :
- User data looses exclusivity and the demand shifts toward novel insights and information derived from these data.
- Apps are freed from having to be “data pirates”, and can focus on establishing a trusted user base, providing valuable services to satisfied customers, informed by the abundance of user data.
- Apps are incentivized to offload data onto the network, establishing a new paradigm for interconnectivity, where independence is NOT at stake as the network grows.
- New markets spring up to support users with self custody of their data, driven by the reality that apps can have full access without assuming responsibility.
- The market for search and algo tools opens up for independent apps and end users to discover and interact freely with each other.
- The ad based “attention economy” slowly transforms to a value based consumer economy, where the end user is the customer rather than the product being sold.
Even while privacy is respected
Sometimes sovereignty is at odds with privacy, but Nostr allows all parties to win while both are protected.
- For end users sending sensetive data "to Nostr", privacy is assured by encrypting it with their own private keys and/or sending it to private (auth required) relays of their choosing.
- For apps handling private IP or business data, any traditional “black box” infrastructure can be used in the back end to manitain isolation from Nostr.
This means apps and end users remain in control of their own private data, without requiring “big social” as trust provider or data reseller. To access a user's private data, client apps (even search engines, running locally) only need explicit permission from the end user to retrieve or decrypt from Nostr relays. Public data, on the other hand, is freely available for any app or search engine to harvest from any Nostr relay. In either case, user data on the Nostr network is always accessible to client apps, without additional restrictions or fees.
Nostr is for every app.
Adding social to any app makes it a better app. Add reviews for products or services. Add commenting or direct messaging. Share or collaborate on content creation. Nostr integration is straightforward and incremental for any app.
Nostr doesn't define your app's business model ... Nostr 10X's it!
Here's how :
- Start with your own business and app design. Add Nosrr login.
- Discover what "kinds" of user data already exists "on Nostr" that your app can ingest and make use of.
- Decide which "kinds" of data would benefit your business, your users, and the network, if sent "to Nostr".
- Implement Nostr integration for data kinds and add webs of trust tools for recommendation and discovery.
- Verify your app is sovereignty respecting in how it handles private data and implements Nostr NIPs.
- Engage with existing users, and onboard new users from your app, to earn their trust and patronage over Nostr.

2025-06-05 18:36:08Akhenaten (originally named Amenhotep IV) was a pharaoh of ancient Egypt known for radically transforming Egyptian religion, art, and culture. He is most famous for promoting the worship of one god—Aten, the sun disk—marking one of the earliest recorded movements toward monotheism.
Early Life and Rise to Power of pharaoh Akhenaten.
The Birth Name was Amenhotep IV, and he was born Around 1380 BCE. By Pharaoh Amenhotep III, and the mother Likely Queen Tiye. He grew up and married a Wife, Nefertiti, one of Egypt's most iconic queens. He have children, Including daughters and likely the father of Tutankhamun (King Tut).
Amenhotep IV ascended the throne around 1353 BCE, succeeding his father, a powerful and prosperous pharaoh, and there was a Religious Revolution.
A Shift Toward Monotheism
Around his 5th regnal year, Amenhotep IV changed his name to Akhenaten, meaning "Effective for Aten".
He abandoned the traditional Egyptian pantheon, especially the powerful god Amun, and elevated Aten as the sole god.
This was a dramatic break from Egypt's deeply rooted polytheistic religion.
The capital city Akhetaten (Modern-day Amarna). Akhenaten moved the capital from Thebes to a new city he built from scratch: Akhetaten (Horizon of Aten).
The city was dedicated entirely to the Aten religion and became a center of art, culture, and politics.
Nefertiti was not just a queen but a powerful co-ruler. Some theories suggest she may have ruled independently for a time after Akhenaten’s death (possibly as Neferneferuaten).
They had at least six daughters. The identity of Akhenaten's sons is debated, but Tutankhamun is widely believed to be his son, possibly by a secondary wife.
Decline and Death
Akhenaten died around 1336 BCE after a 17-year reign.
After his death, his successors (including Tutankhamun) restored traditional religion, abandoned Atenism, and moved the capital back to Thebes.
His monuments were defaced, and his name was erased from king lists, a process known as damnatio memoriae (damnation of memory).
Legacy
Akhenaten is remembered as:
A visionary who introduced monotheism before it appeared in other cultures.
A heretic who defied over a thousand years of religious tradition.
A reformer whose bold changes caused cultural upheaval.
His religious revolution was short-lived, but modern historians and archaeologists regard him as one of the most fascinating and controversial figures in ancient history.
The reasons why Pharaoh Akhenaten introduced monotheism, the worship of Aten, the sun disk, as the one true god are still debated by historians, but several key political, religious, personal, and philosophical factors likely contributed.
✅ Main Reasons Why Akhenaten Introduced Monotheism
- Religious Reform: Belief in a Universal Power
Akhenaten may have genuinely believed in Aten as the supreme creator and life-giver.
The sun was already important in Egyptian religion (Ra, Amun-Ra), but Akhenaten stripped away all personification, choosing the sun's disk (Aten) as a pure, abstract symbol of divine power.
He saw Aten as omnipresent, providing light and life to everything and everyone equally.
- Political Motivation: Weaken the Power of the Priests
The priesthood of Amun at Thebes had become extremely wealthy and powerful, almost a state within a state. By elevating Aten and banning Amun's worship, Akhenaten dismantled the influence of the Amun priests and centralized religious power in his own hands. He made himself the sole mediator between Aten and the people, increasing royal control.
- Personal Vision and Identity
Akhenaten may have had a personal religious experience or conviction that shaped his devotion to Aten.
His new name, “Akhenaten,” meaning “Effective for the Aten,” reflects a deep, personal connection to this god.
He often depicted himself and his family in direct contact with Aten, showing a highly intimate and unique belief system.
- Philosophical and Artistic Shift
Akhenaten's reign saw a revolution in art, emphasizing naturalism, emotion, and individuality.
This change in thinking may reflect a broader philosophical shift toward a more abstract and spiritual understanding of the divine unified in Aten.
Atenism removed the idea of gods with human forms, replacing them with a universal force (the sun's light).
- Reaction Against Religious Corruption or Complexity
Traditional Egyptian religion had hundreds of gods, rituals, and temple hierarchies.
Akhenaten may have seen the system as corrupt, ritualistic, and too complex for ordinary people.
Atenism was simple, focused, and accessible, with the sun’s light reaching everyone equally.
- Political Instability or Health Issues (Speculative)
Some theories suggest Akhenaten’s appearance (depicted with elongated head, wide hips, etc.) may reflect a genetic disorder (e.g., Marfan syndrome or Froehlich's syndrome).
If he was sickly, he may have been drawn to religious introspection or spiritual reform.
Others suggest that political instability or unrest during his early reign may have motivated a bold unifying reform.
Summary
Akhenaten’s monotheism was unprecedented in Egypt’s long religious history. Whether he was a spiritual visionary, a political tactician, or both, his religious revolution stands out as one of the most dramatic and controversial in ancient history.

- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until everything is combined. Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving some for the tops of the warm muffins.
- Spoon the batter evenly into each cup or liner, filling each all the way to the top.
- Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F (218°C); then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce heat to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for another 15–17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The total time these muffins take in the oven is about 20–21 minutes, give or take. (For mini muffins, bake 11–13 minutes at 350°F (177°C) the whole time.)
- Press any remaining chocolate chips into the tops of the warm muffins. Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pan, and then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling, or enjoy warm.
- Muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for a few days, then transfer to the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

2025-06-05 17:33:37I've wanted to write this piece for months. Not because I have anything against Jack Mallers personally - quite the opposite. But because I've watched a pattern emerge in Bitcoin that mirrors one of the most chilling dynamics in Atlas Shrugged: the systematic destruction of our most productive builders by the very people who should be celebrating them.
We are the looters. And Jack might just be our Hank Rearden.
The Underdog's Dilemma
There's a cruel irony in how we treat success in Bitcoin. We champion the underdog, root for the builder in the garage, celebrate the cypherpunk taking on the establishment. But the moment that underdog succeeds - the moment they scale, grow, and inevitably have to navigate the messy realities of the existing system - we turn on them with the ferocity of the same establishment we claim to oppose.\ \ Jack began building Zap (which evolved into Strike) from his parents home in Chicago. Strike has grown into one of the most seamless fiat-to-bitcoin on-ramps for everyday users. No complexity, just pure utility. From day one, he's operated at a level of transparency that would make most CEO's uncomfortable. He's been building in public, taking feedback, admitting mistakes, and iterating - sometimes within hours of criticism.
The Rearden Parallel
In Atlas Shrugged, Hank Rearden creates Rearden Metal - a revolutionary alloy that's stronger, lighter, and more efficient than anything that came before. Instead of celebration, he faces endless scrutiny, regulation, and demands to prove is worthiness. The people who benefit from his innovation spend their time questioning his motives, dissecting his business practices, and demanding he justify his success.
Sound familiar?
Jack comes from a finance background - his father and grandfather were in the industry. This isn't a liability; it's an asset. He understands the beast we're fighting. He's been a Bitcoiner since 2013 with a spotless track record in a space littered with exit scams and broken promises. His values align with proof of work, individualism, and the radical idea that bitcoin is for everyone.
Yet when he helps launch 21 Capital, we don't see innovation - we see betrayal. When he navigates regulatory requirements to build products that can actually reach mainstream adoption, we don't see pragmatism - we see capitulation.
The Scarred Perspective
Our skepticism isn't entirely unfounded. We've been burned before. Mt. Gox, FTX, Three Arrows Capital, Celcius, Terra/ LUNA, BlockFi, Bitconnect, Voyager, QuadrigaCX - the graveyard of Bitcoin is littered with the corpses of trusted institutions. We've learned, painfully, that trust must be earned and verified.
But somewhere along the way, our healthy skepticism has metastasized into destructive paranoia. We've become so focused on protecting ourselves from the next SBF that we're attacking the people building the future we claim to want.
I'm guilty of this myself. I've made scathing attacks on my Nostr feed, comparing Jack to SBF, scrutinising contract clauses about re-hypothecation, and questioning his every move privately. I was viewing his actions through the lens of collective trauma rather than the reality of his long track record.
The Looters Paradox
Here's the uncomfortable truth: we're not just passive observers in this drama. We're active participants. We're the looters.
In Atlas Shrugged, the looters don't necessarily steal directly. They steal time, energy, and focus. They create bureaucracy, demnd endless justification, and burden the productive with the weight of constant explanation. They don't build competing products - they just tear down what others have built.
Everytime we demand Jack explain his business model for the hundredth time, we're stealing his time. Every time we scrutinize his partnerships without offering alternatives, we're creating bureaucracy . Everytime we attack his character rather than his arguments, we're furthering the system we claim to oppose.
The free market will create products whether we like them or not. People will build services that use bitcoin as collateral, create lending products, and navigate regulatory frameworks. The question isn't whether these products will exist - it's whether they'll be built by people who share our values or by those who don't.
The Atlantis Risk
The producers eventually withdraw from society in Atlas Shrugged, retreating to Galt's Gulch (Atlantis) and leaving the looters to face the consequences of their destructive behaviour. The economy collapses because the people who actually build things decided it wasn't worth the hassle anymore.
We're walking dangerously close to this precipice in Bitcoin. We're creating an environment where our most capable builders might just decide it's not worth it. Where the hassle of dealing with our constant scrutiny and bad-faith attacks outweighs the mission of building the future.
Jack has been more patient with our criticism than we deserve. He's addressed concerns publicly, changed the course when necessary, and continued building despite the noise. But patience has limits. At some point, even the most mission-driven builders will ask themselves: "Why am I doing this?"
The Path Forward
I don't know enough about finance to fully understand everything Jack is building with 21 Capital. Neither do most of his critics. But I know enough about Bitcoin to recognise someone who's been fighting the good fight for over a decade.
This doesn't mean we should trust blindly. It doesn't mean we should stop asking questions or demanding transparency. But it does mean we should approach our builders with the same benefit of the doubt we'd want for ourselves.
We need to distinguish between healthy skepticism and destructive paranoia. Between holding people accountable and tearing them down. Between being vigilant and being looters.
The fiat system is the real enemy here. It's massive, entrenched, and infinitely resourcesful. It will adapt, co-opt, and corrupt everything it touches. Fighting it requires builders who are willing to get their hands dirty, navigate imperfect systems, and make pragmatic compromises while holding onto their core values.
We can continue to be looters, tearing down what we don't understand and driving our best builders toward their own version of Atlantis. Or we can be what we claim to be: supporters of the free market, believers of proof of work, and champions of those building the future.
Don't trust. Verify. But remember: verification works both ways.

Adam Back Invests SEK 21 Million to H100 Group Bitcoin Treasury StrategyToday, H100 Group AB announced it has entered a SEK 21 million convertible loan from an investment agreement with Adam Back, with the option to expand his investment to SEK 277 million through a five-tranche convertible loan deal. The proceeds will be used to buy Bitcoin in alignment with H100 Group’s long-term Bitcoin treasury strategy.
H100 Group AB (Ticker: H100) secures a SEK 21M ($2.1M) commitment from @adam3us , with rights to invest an additional SEK 128M ($12.8M) in tranches—bringing the total contemplated raise to SEK 277M (~$27.7M). pic.twitter.com/c0HgMSRxut
— H100 (@H100Group) June 3, 2025
Under the agreement, Back may invest up to SEK 128 million across four additional tranches, with guaranteed participation of at least 50%. Each tranche is twice his committed amount, demonstrating his support for H100’s long-term growth.
The press release said, “Adam Back may request the Second Tranche within 90 days from signing of the Initial Tranche, the Third Tranche within 90 days from signing of the Second Tranche, the Fourth Tranche within 90 days from signing of the Third Tranche and the Fifth Tranche within ninety 90 days from signing of the Fourth Tranche. In the event Adam Back does not request a Future Tranche within the deadline, the right to request subsequent Future Tranches lapses.”
The convertible loans have no interest and have a five year maturity. At any time, Back may convert the loans into shares of the Company. Conversion prices are fixed per tranche: SEK 1.75 per share for the initial tranche, rising to SEK 5.00 by the fifth tranche. H100 retains the right to force conversion if the stock price exceeds the conversion rate by 33% over a 20 day period. Full conversion of the initial tranche would result in 12 million new shares and a 9.3% dilution.
“Upon request of a tranche Adam Back is obliged to invest in the relevant Tranche with SEK 15,750,000 in the second tranche, SEK 23,625,000 in the third tranche, SEK 35,437,500 in the fourth tranche, and SEK 53,156,250 in the fifth tranche,” stated the press release. “The contemplated size for each tranche is twice the entitled amount of Adam Back.”
Blockstream has “been around since 2014 and we work with our investors to put Bitcoin in a balance sheet back then and since then,” said Adam Back at the 2025 Bitcoin Conference. “I think the way to look at the treasury companies is that Bitcoin is effectively the hurdle rate; it’s very hard to outperform bitcoin. Most people that have invested in things since bitcoin has been around have thought, ‘oh, I should have put that in bitcoin and not in the other thing.”

2025-06-05 15:55:12อารมณ์ คือ โลก - โลก คือ อารมณ์ อารมณ์ ในโลกปัจจุบันรวมอยู่ที่ วัตถุนิยม อารมณ์ จึงเป็นปัจจัยแห่งเหตุการณ์ทุกอย่างในโลก
…. “ เดี๋ยวนี้คําว่า “อารมณ์” ในภาษาไทยนั้น หมายถึงความรู้สึกในใจมากกว่า; เช่น พื้นเพของจิตใจในขณะนั้นเป็นอย่างไร, เรียกว่าอารมณ์ของเขาเป็นอย่างไร, อารมณ์กําลังดี อารมณ์กําลังไม่ดี, นี่ คําว่าอารมณ์ในภาษาไทยใช้กันไปเสียอย่างนี้ ; มันคนละเรื่องกับในภาษาบาลี ซึ่งคําว่า “อารมณ์” หมายถึง สิ่งที่จะเข้ามากระทบ ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย ใจ.
…. ถ้ากระทบแล้วเกิดความรู้สึกอย่างไร งุ่นง่านอยู่ในใจ อันนั้นไม่ได้เรียกว่าอารมณ์; อันนั้นก็เรียกว่ากิเลสอย่างอื่น เช่น เรียกว่าตัณหาบ้าง อุปาทานบ้าง; ถ้าจัดเป็นพวกขันธ์ ก็เรียกว่า เวทนาขันธ์บ้าง สัญญาขันธ์บ้าง สังขารขันธ์บ้าง; ถ้าเป็นความคิดที่งุ่นง่านก็เรียกว่า “สังขารขันธ์” ทั้งนั้น ดังนั้น เราจะต้องถือเอาคําว่าอารมณ์ในบาลีมาเป็นหลัก …. คําว่า อารมณ์ ที่จะเข้าใจกันง่ายๆ ก็หมายความว่า รูป เสียง กลิ่น รส โผฏฐัพพะ ที่จะมากระทบ ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย นี้ ๕ อย่าง แล้วก็ความรู้สึกเก่าแก่ที่จะมาผุดขึ้นในใจอีก เรียกว่า ธัมมารมณ์ ที่จะมากระทบใจในปัจจุบันนี้ นี้ก็เป็นอันหนึ่ง เลยได้เป็นอารมณ์ ๖. อารมณ์กระทบ ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย ๕ อย่างข้างนอกนี้ก็สําคัญไปพวกหนึ่ง ที่ปรุงขึ้นภายในสําหรับกระทบใจโดยไม่ต้องอาศัย ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย ใจ เลย ในเวลานั้นก็ยังมีอยู่นี้เรียกว่าธัมมารมณ์ นี้ก็ยิ่งสําคัญ: แต่ว่ารวมกันแล้วก็เรียกว่า อารมณ์ ได้ด้วยกันทั้งนั้น แปลว่า สิ่งที่จะมากระทบกับ ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย ใจ นั่นเอง
…. นี้ ดูให้ละเอียดตามตัวหนังสือ คําว่า “อารมณ์” แปลว่า ที่หน่วงบ้าง แปลว่า ที่ยินดีบ้าง, มันมีความหมายละเอียดมาก. ถ้าถือเอาความหมายอย่างคนที่มีตัวตนเป็นหลัก ธรรมะในฝ่ายฮินดูหรือฝ่ายพรหมณ์เขาก็จะพูดว่า สําหรับจิตหรืออาตมันเข้าไปจับฉวยเอา. แต่ถ้าพูดอย่างภาษาชาวพุทธพูดอย่างนั้นไม่ได้ เพราะไม่มีจิตไม่มีอาตมันชนิดนั้น แล้วจิตนี้ก็เพิ่งเกิดขึ้นหลังอารมณ์กระทบแล้ว; เลยต้องพูดตามพระบาลีที่ว่า อาศัยตาด้วย อาศัยรูปด้วย ย่อมเกิดจักษุวิญญาณ; ตาอาศัยกับรูปคืออารมณ์นั้นได้แล้วจึงจะเกิดจักษุวิญญาณ วิญญาณหรือจิตนี้เกิดทีหลัง
…. ฉะนั้น จึงไม่พูดว่า อารมณ์นี้เป็นสิ่งสําหรับจิตหรือตัวตนเข้าไปจับฉวยยึดเอา; ถ้าพูดอย่างนั้นมันก็จะเป็นฮินดูหรือพราหมณ์ไป คือมีตัวตนไป. พูดอย่างพุทธไม่มีตัวตน ทุกอย่างไม่ใช่ตัวตน เป็นสักว่าธาตุ, ได้การปรุงแต่งที่เหมาะแล้วมันก็ปรุงแต่งเป็นสิ่งใหม่ขึ้นมา ในนั้นอาจจะมีความรู้สึกโง่ไปว่าเป็นตัวเราก็ได้
…. ฉะนั้น คําว่าอารมณ์ ถ้าถือตามหลักในทางพุทธศาสนา ก็แปลว่า สิ่งที่อาศัยกันกับจิต จะเรียกว่าเป็นที่หน่วงของจิตมันก็ยังได้: ถ้าเข้าใจผิดมันก็ผิดได้: เรียกว่าสิ่งที่อาศัยกับอายตนะ แล้วก็เกิดเป็นความรู้สึกเป็นจิตขึ้นมา จิตกําลังหน่วงสิ่งนั้นเป็นอารมณ์ก็ได้ แต่จะให้เป็นตัวตนนั้นไม่ได้
…. โดยพยัญชนะก็มีอยู่อย่างนี้ ตัวพยัญชนะก็ยังกํากวม อารมฺมณํ หรือที่มาจาก อาลมฺพนํ ก็แปลว่า ที่หน่วงของจิต. ถ้าจะถือว่ามาจาก รม ที่แปลว่า ยินดี ก็แปลว่า มันเป็นสิ่งที่หลงใหลยินดีของจิต อย่างนี้ก็ยังได้อีก
…. แต่ขอให้รู้จักจากภายในดีกว่าที่จะมารู้จักจากตัวหนังสือ เมื่อตากระทบรูป เมื่อหูกระทบเสียง เป็นต้น มันเกิดขึ้นในใจ, แล้วสังเกตเอาที่นั่นก็แล้วกัน ว่ารูปที่มากระทบตานั้นมันคืออะไร? เสียงที่มากระทบหูนั้นมันคืออะไร? จะค่อยเข้าใจแจ่มแจ้งขึ้นทีละน้อยๆ ว่าอารมณ์นั้นคืออะไร? แต่ให้เข้าใจไว้ทีหนึ่งก่อนว่าสิ่งที่เรียกว่าอารมณ์ๆที่มากระทบนี้ มันยังไม่ดีไม่ชั่ว ยังไม่จัดเป็นสิ่งดีสิ่งชั่ว มันต้องผสมปรุงแต่งเป็นความคิดอย่างนั้นอย่างนี้เสียก่อน จึงจะจัดเป็นดีเป็นชั่ว อารมณ์ล้วนๆยังไม่ดีไม่ชั่ว จะได้รู้จักป้องกัน อย่าให้เป็นไปในทางชั่ว, ให้เป็นไปแต่ในทางดีได้ตามปรารถนา
…. นี้เรียกว่าโดยพยัญชนะ โดยตัวหนังสือ คําว่า “อารมณ์” แปลว่า เป็นที่ยินดีแห่งจิต, เป็นที่ยึดหน่วงแห่งจิต; โดยเฉพาะภาษาอภิธรรมแล้วก็ใช้คําว่า “เป็นที่หน่วงเอาของจิต”, คือจิตย่อมหน่วงสิ่งใดสิ่งหนึ่งเป็นอารมณ์ แปลคําว่าอารมณ์บ้าง, อาลัมพนะ แปลว่า เป็นที่หน่วงเอา.
…. เดี๋ยวนี้เราเรียนพุทธศาสนาไม่ใช่เรามาเรียนหนังสือบาลี, เราจะเรียนพระธรรมคําสอนของพระพุทธเจ้า เราก็ต้องดูสิ่งที่เรียกว่าอารมณ์ โดยหลักของธรรมชาติที่ปรุงแต่งกันอยู่ในใจดีกว่า; ก็อย่างพระบาลีที่ได้ว่ามาแล้วข้างต้นว่า จกฺขุญฺจ ปฏิจฺจ รูเป จ อุปฺปชฺชติ จกฺขุวิญฺญาณํ = เพราะอาศัยตาด้วย รูปด้วย ย่อมบังเกิดจักษุวิญญาณ ติณฺณํ ธมฺมานํ สงฺคติ ผสฺโส - การประจวบกันของ ๓ สิ่งนี้เรียกว่า “ผัสสะ”, ผสฺสปจฺจยา เวทนา = เพราะผัสสะเป็นปัจจัยจึงเกิดเวทนา, อย่างนี้เรื่อยไปจนเกิดทุกข์ จนเกิดความทุกข์, นี้เรียกว่าโดยธรรมชาติ
…. สิ่งที่เรียกว่าอารมณ์มีอยู่โดยธรรมชาติที่จะเข้ามาอาศัยกันกับตาข้างใน ที่มีอยู่ในตัวคน. แล้วจะเกิดจักษุวิญญาณ เป็นต้น ขึ้นในตัวคน; จะเกิด ผัสสะ เวทนา ตัณหา อุปาทาน ภพ ชาติ ขึ้นในตัวคน; นี้โดยธรรมชาติ พระพุทธเจ้าท่านบันดาลอะไรไม่ได้ : ธรรมชาติเป็นอยู่อย่างนี้ แต่ท่านรู้เรื่องนี้ท่านจึงนํามาสอนว่า ธรรมชาติมันมีอยู่อย่างนี้ เราจะต้องเข้าใจให้ถูกต้อง โดยที่จะป้องกันความทุกข์ไม่ให้เกิดขึ้นมาได้, หรือถ้าเกิดขึ้นมาได้ก็จะดับเสียได้
…. เราควรจะรู้จักอารมณ์ในฐานะที่เป็นธรรมชาติอันหนึ่ง ที่มีอยู่ตามธรรมชาติ แล้วที่จะเข้ามาทําเรื่องทําราวขึ้นในจิตใจของคนเราให้เกิดปัญหายุ่งยากนี้ให้ดีๆ นี้เรียกว่ารู้จักอารมณ์จากธรรมชาติโดยตรงอย่างนี้ ดีกว่าที่จะรู้จักตามตัวหนังสือ, ดีกว่าที่จะรู้จักตามคําบอกเล่าบางอย่างบางประการที่มันไม่มีประโยชน์อะไร. รู้จักตามคําบอกเล่าก็รู้จักตามที่พระพุทธเจ้าท่านตรัสดีกว่า แต่แล้วยังไม่รู้จักตัวจริง จนกว่าจะมารู้จักจากที่เมื่ออารมณ์มากระทบตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย ใจ เข้าจริงๆ : นั่นจึงจะรู้จักอารมณ์ รู้จักผลที่เกิดขึ้นจากการกระทบของอารมณ์, รู้จักต่อไปตามลําดับ จนแก้ปัญหาต่างๆ ได้
…. นี่ ขอร้องให้รู้จักสิ่งที่เรียกว่า อารมณ์ ในฐานะที่เป็นธรรมชาติอันหนึ่ง ที่มีอยู่ตามธรรมชาติ ที่จะเข้ามากระทบอายตนะภายใน คือ กระทบ ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย ใจ แล้วมีเรื่องมีราวมีปัญหา
อารมณ์ คือ โลก - โลก คือ อารมณ์ …. “ ที่นี้จะให้ดูต่อไปอีก ว่าโดยข้อเท็จจริงที่เป็นอยู่แล้ว อารมณ์นั้นคืออะไร? ถ้าจะพูดโดยข้อเท็จจริงหรือตามสถานการณ์ที่เป็นอยู่จริงในชีวิตของคนเรา อารมณ์มันก็คือ “โลก” นั่นเอง. เดี๋ยวนี้เราไม่รู้จักโลกในฐานะอย่างนี้, เราไปเข้าใจความหมายของคําว่าโลกแคบไปบ้าง หรือว่าเขวไปบ้าง.
…. ถ้าจะรู้ตามหลักพระพุทธศาสนาแล้ว โลกทั้งหมดก็คือสิ่งที่จะมาปรากฏแก่ ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย ใจ ของเรา, เรามีเพียง ๖ อย่าง, แล้วมันก็ ปรากฏได้เพียง ๖ ทาง, มากกว่านั้นมันปรากฏไม่ได้ ดังนั้น โลกก็คือสิ่งที่จะมาปรากฏแก่ ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย ใจ ๖ อย่างของเรา. “โลก” ก็คือ รูป เสียง กลิ่น รส โผฏฐัพพะ ธัมมารมณ์ ๖ ประการเท่านั้น, ไม่มีอะไรมากไปกว่านั้น
…. ฉะนั้น รูป เสียง กลิ่น รส โผฏฐัพพะ ธัมมารมณ์ แต่ละอย่าง ๆ ก็คือ โลกในแต่ละแง่ละมุม นั่นเอง, ที่เป็น รูป เสียง กลิ่น รส โผฏฐัพพะ ก็อยู่ข้างนอก จะเรียกว่าอยู่ข้างนอกก็ได้, ที่เป็นอารมณ์เกิดขึ้นในใจ ปรุงขึ้นในใจก็เรียกว่าโลกข้างในก็ได้ แต่มันก็เป็นโลกอยู่นั่นแหละ เพราะมันเป็นสิ่งที่จิตจะต้องรู้สึก จิตรู้สึกก็เรียกว่าโลกสําหรับจิต ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย รู้สึก ก็เรียกว่าโลกสำหรับ ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย. นี้ขอให้มองให้เห็นชัดตามพระพุทธประสงค์ว่า โลก ก็คือ อารมณ์, อารมณ์ ก็คือ โลก.
…. แต่ทีนี้ พระพุทธเจ้าท่านมองลึกกว่านั้น ท่านตรัสถึงข้อที่ว่า ถ้ามันมาเกิดเป็นปัญหาแก่เราเมื่อไรจึงจะเรียกว่า “มันมี” พอมันมาเป็นปัญหาแก่เราเมื่อไรก็เรียกว่า “เป็นทุกข์”; เพราะว่าเราได้ไปจับฉวยยึดถือเอาตามประสาตามวิสัยของคนที่ไม่รู้จักโลก ถ้าพูดว่าไม่รู้จักโลกแล้วคนก็มักจะไม่ยอมรับ เพราะว่าเขาจะพูดว่าเขารู้จักโลกดี. ยิ่งพวกฝรั่งสมัยนี้ นักวิทยาศาสตร์ปราดเปรื่องนั้น เขาจะไม่ยอมรับว่าเขาไม่รู้จักโลก. แต่ถ้าพูดตามหลักพุทธศาสนาแล้วก็จะพูดได้ว่ายังไม่รู้จักโลกเลย เป็นคนตาบอดยิ่งกว่าตาบอด; เพราะว่าฝรั่งเหล่านั้นรู้จักโลกแต่ในแง่สําหรับจะยึดมั่นถือมั่นเป็น “ตัวกู ของกู” จะครองโลกจะอะไร เอาประโยชน์ทุกอย่าง; เขารู้จักโลกในแง่นี้ อย่างนี้พุทธบริษัทไม่เรียกว่า “รู้จักโลก”; แต่ถือว่าเป็นคนตาบอดต่อโลก, หลงยึดมั่นถือมั่นในโลก. เพราะว่าคนเหล่านั้นไม่รู้จักโลกโดยความเป็นอารมณ์ ๖ ประการ คือ รูป เสียง กลิ่นรส โผฏฐัพพะ ธัมมารมณ์, แล้วเป็น “มายา” คือ เอาจริงไม่ได้ เป็นของชั่วคราวๆ หลอกให้เกิดความรู้สึกยึดมั่นถือมั่น
…. นี้เรารู้จัก เราไม่ไปหลงยึดมั่นถือมั่นกับมัน นี้จึงเรียกว่า “คนที่รู้จักโลก” ไปตามหลักของพุทธศาสนา, ฉะนั้น จึงไม่ยึดมั่นถือมั่นสิ่งใดโดยความเป็นตัวตน หรือโดยความเป็นของตน, เรียกว่าเป็นผู้รู้จักอารมณ์ ๖ ประการนั้นก็คือรู้จักโลกทั้งปวง, แล้วก็ไม่หลงไปในโลกในแง่ใดแง่หนึ่ง นี้เรียกว่า อารมณ์ ก็คือ โลก นั่นเอง ในความหมายที่ลึกที่สุดของพระพุทธสาสนา ไม่ใช่โลกก้อนดิน, ไม่ใช่โลกก้อนกลมๆ นี้. แต่มันหมายถึงคุณค่าอะไรที่มันมีอยู่ในโลกกลมๆ นี้ ที่จะเข้ามามาทําให้เกิดปัญหา ที่ตา ที่หู ที่จมูก ที่ลิ้น ที่กาย ที่ใจ ของคน. นั่นแหละคือตัวร้ายกาจของสิ่งที่เรียกว่า โลก เราจะต้องรู้จักในส่วนนี้ให้เพียงพอ
อารมณ์ในโลกปัจจุบันมารวมที่วัตถุนิยม …. ทีนี้ ดูอีกแง่หนึ่งก็โดยปัญหาที่กําลังมีอยู่ อารมณ์ในโลกนี้ในฐานะที่มันเป็นตัวปัญหาที่กําลังมีอยู่ มันมารวมอยู่ที่คําว่า “วัตถุนิยม”: หมายความว่า ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย ใจ นี้ มันเป็นฝ่ายชนะ ไปหลงใหลในอารมณ์ รูป เสียง กลิ่น รส โผฏฐัพพะ ฯลฯ, แล้วก็เกิดนิยมหลงใหลในวัตถุเหล่านั้น จนเกิดความคิดใหม่ๆ, ปรุงแต่งไปในทางที่จะให้หลงใหลในโลกยิ่งขึ้นๆ, ความเจริญก้าวหน้า ในโลกสมัยนี้เป็นไปแต่ในทางอย่างนี้ ฉะนั้น จึงไกลความสงบ, ไกลสันติภาพ ไกลอะไรออกไปทุกที. การที่มนุษย์ที่มีปัญญาในโลกสมัยนี้ โดยเฉพาะฝรั่งที่ก้าวหน้านั้นเขาก็จัดโลกไปแต่ในแง่ของวัตถุมากขึ้นๆ: มันก็ไกลจากสันติภาพ ไกลจากความสงบสุขยิ่งขึ้นทุกที
…. ความสะดวกสบายที่ทําให้เกิดขึ้นมาได้นั้น ไม่ได้ช่วยส่งเสริมเกิดสันติภาพ; แต่มันช่วยให้เกิดความหลงในโลกนั้นเองมากขึ้น แล้วก็ช่วยให้หลงใหลใน “ตัวกู ของกู”, ยึดมั่นถือมั่นเห็นแก่ตัวมากขึ้น รวมกันแล้วมันไม่มีทางที่จะเกิดสันติภาพหรือสันติสุขในโลกได้เลย, จึงกลายเป็นความหลอกลวงเหลือประมาณ โลกจึงกลายเป็นความหลอกลวง, หรือสิ่งที่หลอกลวงเหลือประมาณใน เวลานี้ เราเรียกกันว่า ติดบ่วง หรือว่า ติดเหยื่อของวัตถุนิยม. คําพูดทั้งหมดนี้ ล้วนแต่เป็นการแสดงให้เห็นว่า อารมณ์นี้คืออะไร สิ่งที่เรียกว่าอารมณ์นั้น คือตัวโลกที่กําลังหลอกลวงเราอยู่ทุกวันอย่างยิ่ง โดยเฉพาะในปัจจุบันนี้เป็นวัตถุนิยม นี้คืออารมณ์”
พุทธทาสภิกขุ ที่มา : ธรรมบรรยายภาคมาฆบูชา ครั้งที่ ๗ หัวข้อเรื่อง “อารมณ์ คือ ปัจจัยแห่งเหตุการณ์ทุกอย่างในโลก” เมื่อวันที่ ๑๖ กุมภาพันธ์ ๒๕๑๗ จากหนังสือชุดธรรมโฆษณ์ เล่มชื่อว่า “ก ข ก กา ของการศึกษาพุทธศาสนา”
หมายเหตุ
“อารมณ์ ” ในทางพุทธศาสนา มี ๖ คือ... * ๑. รูปะ = รูป, สิ่งที่เห็น หรือ วัณณะ คือ สี * ๒. สัททะ = เสียง * ๓. คันธะ = กลิ่น * ๔. รสะ = รส * ๕. โผฏฐัพพะ = สัมผัสทางกาย * ๖. ธรรมารมณ์ = สิ่งที่ใจนึกคิด, อารมณ์ที่เกิดกับใจ
…. ทั้ง ๖ อย่างนี้ เป็นสิ่งสำหรับให้จิตยึดหน่วง เรียกอีกอย่างว่า "อายตนะภานนอก" ก็ได้
“อายตนะภายใน ๖” คือ ที่เชื่อมต่อให้เกิดความรู้, แดนต่อความรู้ฝ่ายภายใน มี * ๖ อย่าง คือ... * ๑. จักษุ - ตา * ๒. โสตะ - หู * ๓. ฆานะ - จมูก * ๔. ชิวหา - ลิ้น * ๕. กาย - กาย * ๖. มโน - ใจ
… หรือจะเรียกอีกอย่างว่า “อินทรีย์ ๖” ก็ได้ เพราะเป็นใหญ่ในหน้าที่ของตนแต่ละอย่าง เช่น จักษุ เป็นเจ้าการ(เป็นใหญ่)ในการเห็น เป็นต้น

2025-06-05 15:54:42比特币正在主动引诱量子计算“破解自己”
引言:危机还是契机?
比特币和量子计算,这两个看似对立的存在,正在酝酿一场耐人寻味的博弈。许多人担心未来强大的量子计算机将秒破比特币的密码学基石,从而令区块链安全灰飞烟灭。然而,本文想传达的核心观点却截然相反:比特币不仅不会被量子破解打败,反而正在通过协议层的巧妙设计来“引诱”量子计算进入自己的游戏规则之中。通过诸如BIP-360等提案,比特币有望将量子计算的威胁转化为动力,开启一个“后挖矿时代”的全新正反馈经济体系,让“破解”本身成为新的挖矿机制。
这样的观点听起来近乎狂想,但背后有着深厚的技术逻辑支撑。我们将从基本的密码学原理谈起,逐步剖析量子计算的能力与局限,以及比特币协议在抗量子方向做出的结构性准备。最后,我们探讨一种大胆的经济模型:当量子计算被诱导去参与“破解竞赛”时,或许正是比特币凤凰涅槃、新经济形态崛起之机。
非对称加密的数学本质:“上帝视角”的陷门答案
非对称加密(如RSA、椭圆曲线加密ECC等)的核心在于存在一种单向函数:正向计算容易,反向推导极难。公钥可以视作某个难题的题目,私钥则相当于“上帝视角”提前知道的答案。一旦掌握私钥,就能轻松完成从答案到题目的逆推;而只有公钥时,想要逆推出私钥则被设计为在现实中不可行。这类单向难题通常通过陷门函数来实现——对合法持有者(私钥)来说,存在隐藏的捷径(陷门)可以快速解题;而对局外人来说,题目看似无解。
举例来说,比特币当前采用的ECC加密:私钥与公钥的关系就像“一次难以逆推的乘法”。给定私钥x,乘以基点G可轻易得到公钥点P = x·G,但已知P却无法高效求出x。这种不对称确保了签名者可以用私钥生成签名,而验证者只能用公钥验证签名而无法伪造。私钥掌握了解题的“上帝答案”,公钥则只能用于验证答案是否正确。
这一点在新型的抗量子算法中同样体现。以格密码(lattice cryptography)为例:Falcon等基于NTRU格的签名算法,其公钥可以被视为一个高维长基,私钥是对应的短基。pqshield.com在二维格子上的示意说明了这种不对称性:拥有短基(私钥)时,我们可以高效地找到距离某个目标点很近的格点解;但只有长基(公钥)时,我们顶多能验证某个给定解是否有效,却很难自行找到足够优质的解pqshield.com。换言之,私钥提供了一个陷门,允许持有者快速逆推答案,而公钥持有者只能望“题”兴叹。
图:在二维格子中,签名者持有的短基(私钥)可以高效求解出距离目标点(黑色方块)极近的格点解(绿色圆点)。绿色平行四边形表示短基下求解空间很小,因而容易找到最优解。这直观展示了陷门函数的威力:私钥掌握短基就如同拿到了解题捷径。
图:仅持有长基(公钥)时,使用相同算法得到的格点解(红色圆点)可能距离目标(黑色方块)很远。红色平行四边形代表在无陷门情况下求解范围巨大,找到最佳解极其困难。但验证者仍可用长基检查出某个解(如绿色点)确实是有效解pqshield.com。这体现了公私钥在计算能力上的不对称:私钥可求解,公钥仅可验证。
总而言之,非对称加密的安全性源自数学难题的单向性质和陷门结构。私钥就是那个隐藏的逆向通道,“上帝视角”的答案;公钥则是不具备捷径的信息,只够验证而无法逆推。从RSA的整数分解、ECC的离散对数,到Falcon的近似最近矢量问题,每一种公钥体制都是在构造“题目易出答案难逆”的格局,让持有陷门者轻松,旁观破解者绝望。
量子计算的原理与极限:并行穷举的神话与现实
量子计算机令人畏惧之处,在于其并行计算能力。通过量子叠加态,n个量子比特(qubit)可同时表示2^n种状态——仿佛能把指数级的可能性同时考虑。配合量子干涉与算法设计,量子计算机能够以远胜传统计算机的效率解决某些特定问题。其中最著名的就是Shor算法,它能在多项式时间内完成对大整数的质因数分解和离散对数求解。这正是传统公钥加密(RSA、ECC)的命门:一旦有足够强大的量子计算机,基于这些数学问题的公钥体制将不再困难,私钥可以由公钥“解密”而出coindesk.com。
然而,“并行穷举”的神话背后有严格的物理和工程学限制。首先是量子比特数量和质量的限制:当前的量子芯片规模远未达到破解现代加密所需的级别。据风险研究机构与专家调查,目前我们只有几十到几百个物理qubit,而要威胁256位ECC或2048位RSA,需要数百万高质量qubitdeloitte.com。不仅数量上相差几个数量级,现有量子芯片的纠错和降噪技术也远不成熟。量子比特极其敏感,微小噪声都会引入错误,真正实用的量子计算机需要对成千上万的物理比特进行纠错编码,形成稳定的逻辑比特。这个工程挑战之巨大,使得可攻破密码的量子计算机仍是多年之后的前景——多数专家预测大概还需十几年时间才可能出现实质威胁deloitte.com。
其次,量子计算并非万能破解,仅对特定问题有指数级加速。Shor算法擅长因数分解和离散对数,Grover算法可以对无结构的穷举搜索加速(将时间复杂度平方根降低)。但许多新兴的抗量子算法依赖的问题(如格上的最短向量问题SVP、最近向量问题CVP,或多变量方程、哈希预像等)目前并无高效量子算法。这些问题大多属于NP难类,甚至找近似解也极为困难emerginginvestigators.org。尽管量子计算提供并行试探能力,但对这类高度复杂的问题也爱莫能助。正如一项研究指出:SVP和CVP问题即便在量子计算机上依然“极端困难”,在可预见的将来仍足以保证安全性emerginginvestigators.org。Falcon所使用的NTRU格就是这样的难题代表——没有已知算法可以像Shor之于RSA那样,高效攻破NTRU问题。
最后,我们还需注意量子攻击的实际条件。量子破解比特币主要有两种情景:存储攻击和传输攻击deloitte.com。存储攻击指利用量子计算找出已公开公钥对应的私钥,从而盗取静态存放于链上某地址的币;传输攻击则是当交易广播(公钥暴露)后,在被矿工打包上链前的短暂窗口内,量子计算抢先推导私钥并盗转。这两种攻击对量子能力要求不同:存储攻击允许耗时几周甚至数月破解一个密钥,只要在币移动前完成即可;而传输攻击要求在区块确认之前(比特币约10分钟内,以太坊更短)秒破私钥deloitte.com。显然,目前和可预见的中期内,量子计算都远达不到传输攻击所需的即时破解水平;即便存储攻击,由于比特币区块链的UTXO模型(稍后详述),真正高价值、长时间暴露公钥的币也相对有限deloitte.com。因此,量子威胁虽然现实存在,但并非一夜之间让比特币崩溃的魔法。这反倒给予我们部署抗量子方案、引导量子力量“为我所用”的时间窗口。
抗量子密码学的三大结构前提
要让比特币真正抵御量子威胁,并把量子计算纳入自身生态,需要满足几个结构性前提。经过多年社区讨论和研究,以下三点被认为是比特币走向抗量子的关键设计要素:
-
UTXO模型:隐藏公钥缩短攻击窗口 – 比特币采用UTXO模型,每次交易都会生成新地址,公钥通常以哈希形式隐藏在地址中,直到你花费时才公布。这意味着量子计算只有在你发起交易后的很短时间内(交易确认前)才能获得公钥并尝试破解,大大压缩了攻击窗口anduro.iodeloitte.com。相较之下,账户模型(如以太坊)重复使用固定地址,公钥一旦被提取或首次使用后就长久暴露,使得65%以上的以太币当前都处于量子暴露风险中,而比特币约只有25%处于类似风险deloitte.com。UTXO模型通过“一次性地址”和“不用则公钥不出”的原则,天然提供了对抗量子存储攻击的第一道屏障。
-
“见证隔离”(SegWit):模块化升级签名算法 – 抗量子方案的发展日新月异,比特币必须保持签名算法的可插拔升级能力。2017年的见证隔离升级正是为此奠定基础:SegWit将签名等见证数据与交易本体分离,并引入版本化的见证脚本格式。这使得添加新签名类型成为可能——通过软分叉引入新的输出类型和见证版本,就能兼容地支持不同算法delvingbitcoin.org。正如BIP-341利用SegWit扩展出了Taproot的Schnorr签名,比特币也可以扩展出抗量子签名的新地址类型而无需硬分叉或显著增加区块体积delvingbitcoin.org。这一模块化特性对于迎接未来各类抗量子算法至关重要,没有SegWit的铺垫,抗量子改造将困难重重。
-
分级安全机制:根据价值和时效选择算法强度 – 由于UTXO的性质,每笔交易在花费时都会暴露其公钥。因此,安全策略不能“一刀切”,应允许根据币值大小或持有时长采用不同强度的抗量子算法。高价值的UTXO、长期未移动的“老币”,应使用更高安全级别但可能更重型的签名方案;反之,小额频繁交易可用较轻量的方案以兼顾效率和区块容量。好比Falcon提供了512和1024两种参数版本:Falcon-1024安全级别更高但签名稍大,而Falcon-512签名更小速度更快,适合资源受限场景emerginginvestigators.org。未来比特币或可同时支持多种抗量子算法或参数,用户按需选用,让“安全性”成为一种可以权衡和市场定价的链上资源。每一次支付都在安全与成本之间找到平衡,这将促使一个分层的安全市场形成——进一步论述见后文经济模型部分。
上述三大前提缺一不可:UTXO模型提供了基础的_安全缓冲_,SegWit机制给予_升级弹性_,分级算法让_经济可行性_落地。在这方面,比特币的体系结构远优于某些后来的公链。例如,以太坊的账户模型天生缺乏隐藏公钥的机制,地址就是固定的公钥哈希,一旦使用过私钥签名就永久暴露公钥,同时其交易脚本(EVM)对签名算法固定死,没有灵活插拔空间。这意味着以太坊想转向抗量子算法,必须经过极其痛苦的整体迁移或硬分叉——开发者需要为每个账户引入新密钥,新老算法并行过渡,智能合约地址、签名验证逻辑全部推倒重来。这种难度令人生畏,以至于有人嘲讽以太坊“几乎不可能”实现真正的抗量子迁移。反观比特币,得益于其简单而弹性的UTXO+Script设计,只需通过新的输出类型软分叉,就可以逐步引入抗量子地址,让用户自愿迁移过渡,避免一次性硬分叉的系统性风险。
BIP-360:可选抗量子签名,引入量子博弈
面对量子威胁,比特币开发社区并未坐以待毙。2024年,由开发者Hunter Beast提出的BIP-360提案(又称P2QRH,意为“支付到抗量子哈希”)正式将抗量子签名引入了议事日程anduro.io。BIP-360核心思路是在比特币中增加新的地址类型,这些地址采用后量子密码学的签名算法(当前优先考虑Falcon,并备选CRYSTALS-Dilithium和SPHINCS+等)来取代易受量子攻击的ECDSA/Schnorr签名anduro.iogroups.google.com。换句话说,用户可以自愿选择生成一种“抗量子地址”,对应的UTXO需使用抗量子算法签名才能解锁。
为什么说BIP-360让比特币“引诱”量子计算加入博弈?这里有几层含义:
首先,BIP-360采用软分叉方式部署,可选而非强制。这意味着在量子计算真正成熟之前,绝大多数交易仍可继续使用原有签名算法,不平添负担;而有安全偏好的用户或机构可以提前迁移一部分资金到抗量子地址以高枕无忧。随着量子技术进展,逐步会有更多人选择这个选项,形成一个与量子威胁赛跑的过程。这种自愿迁移机制本身就是一种对量子黑客的诱导:网络主动暴露出一个“堡垒更坚固”的区域,鼓励守法用户往那里走,同时意味着留下的旧区域反而成为显眼的攻击目标和“诱饵”。
其次,BIP-360在算法选择和参数上充分考虑了区块链经济的承受力。起初提案曾讨论过一些前沿算法如SQIsign,但发现其验证开销高达ECDSA的15,000倍,若全网采用将使验证一块新区块从1秒暴涨到4小时,带来难以接受的性能瓶颈groups.google.com。最终的方案优选Falcon等NIST标准算法,它们签名体积较小、验证高效,可与当前区块大小和验证速度相容groups.google.com。例如Falcon-1024的签名约1.3KB、公钥1.7KB左右,这虽然比当前64字节的Schnorr签名大得多,但并非无法承受。通过配置灵活的安全级别(如重要交易才用Falcon-1024,一般小额用Falcon-512或普通Schnorr),比特币区块空间将被合理分配在安全性和费用之间。BIP-360精心设计了新的地址格式和见证结构,确保即便引入抗量子签名,区块验证和存储开销也在经济范围内,不会动摇挖矿和节点运行的成本平衡anduro.io。
最后也是最具前瞻性的一点,BIP-360为量子计算参与链上博弈打开了一扇门。通过提供抗量子和非抗量子地址并存的环境,比特币网络其实设置了一个对量子计算的挑战擂台:量子计算可以选择去攻击那些仍使用旧签名算法且价值巨大的UTXO,但同一时间,网络里的用户也在不断提升关键UTXO的签名强度来应对。量子计算不再是一个纯粹的外部敌人,而被巧妙地“请”进了系统,在规则内与用户和矿工互动。这为下一节将讨论的新经济模型奠定了基础——破解即挖矿的雏形由此孕育。
值得一提的是,BIP-360还提出了一个Taproot的量子安全补丁方案P2TRH,用哈希隐藏Taproot的公钥以弥补其“公钥长曝”缺陷groups.google.comgroups.google.com。因为现有的Taproot地址(见证v1)是直接以公钥生成地址,失去了UTXO模型隐藏公钥的优势,量子攻击者可以随时尝试破解Taproot资金。P2TRH通过将Taproot公钥再哈希一层,恢复“见证前隐藏公钥”的特性,代价是每笔此类输入增加8.25字节开销groups.google.com。这显示出比特币开发者未雨绸缪,连新升级的Taproot漏洞也在想办法弥补,使全局达到抗量子的结构性统一。
综上,BIP-360及相关提案不仅提供了技术方案,更释放出一种积极的信号:比特币正主动拥抱量子挑战,将其纳入规则之内。正如Anduro团队支持BIP-360时所言:“量子攻击的威胁严肃而迫近,我们不能坐等紧急关头才手忙脚乱。”anduro.ioanduro.io比特币社区选择了在危机到来前主动布局,以最小的代价换取最大的安全冗余和发展新契机。
“破解竞赛”经济模型:当量子成为新矿工
设想未来5-15年内,量子计算技术逐步成熟。在比特币网络中,可能会上演这样一幕令人惊叹的图景:量子计算矿工和抗量子验证者同时在线,围绕着尚未升级的老式UTXO展开一场你追我赶的“破解竞赛”。这将引发怎样的经济动力?我们大胆描绘一个后PoW时代的可能场景:
一方面,强大的量子计算机不再浪费算力去挖掘哈希谜题(传统PoW),而是直接瞄准那些“量子易攻”的UTXO,即尚使用老式ECDSA/Schnorr签名且公钥已暴露的地址。这些地址里的币对合法持有人来说如果迟迟未迁移到抗量子地址,实际上就变成了躺在链上的“悬赏”:谁能先算出私钥,谁就能转走这些币。在量子计算参与者眼中,这些币和早期比特币矿工眼中的区块奖励无异,都是凭借算力可竞争获取的收益。值得注意的是,根据分析,目前约有25%的比特币(按币量)处于公钥已暴露状态deloitte.com。随着时间推移,这个比例可能上升——除非持有人主动升级安全。这就像网络故意留出了一片“牧场”,让量子计算在其中竞相捕猎,以获得收益。量子攻击者之间形成竞争:更快的量子芯片、更好的算法意味着可以更早破解特定私钥,拿下那笔币。这几乎就是PoW的变体——过去矿工拼SHA-256算力抢区块奖励,未来量子矿工拼质因数分解/离散对数能力抢遗留UTXO。
另一方面,守护这片“牧场”的则是抗量子验证者和普通用户自身的防范行为。所谓抗量子验证者,可能是运行完整后量子节点或提供安全服务的专业机构。他们一方面帮助用户升级UTXO(例如提供一键迁移服务,把旧地址币转移到新PQ地址上,收取服务费),另一方面监测全网可疑交易。当量子攻击者尝试盗取某UTXO时,如果该UTXO持有者事先购买了“安全服务”,验证者可以抢先代为花费将币转移到更安全的地址(类似白帽黑客行为),或者提供更高级别签名升级以挫败攻击。总之,抗量子能力本身也成为一种商品,在市场上明码标价。你想让自己的币绝对安全?可以付费请量子安全服务团队定期轮换密钥、使用最高强度签名、监控链上异常。你的交易想确保不中途被截胡?可以支付更高矿工费甚至指定量子保险节点护送。在链上,一个根据签名难度和安全级别定价的市场逐渐形成:越高难度的签名(比如超长位的Falcon变种、多重签名方案结合等)需要支付越高的费用来存储和验证;反过来,这些费用补贴给保障网络安全的矿工/节点,激励他们投入更多资源提升抗量子能力。这种正反馈循环下,“安全”本身成为了新的经济激励。
如此一来,比特币生态迎来了“后挖矿时代”的转型:当区块补贴逐渐趋零,原本空缺的矿工激励由量子破解竞赛和安全服务市场所填补。量子计算加入竞争并非摧毁网络,反而扮演起类似矿工的角色,通过攻破薄弱环节来获得收益;而诚实的参与者则通过不断升级安全措施和支付安全费用来保护资产。这看似矛盾,却形成了动态平衡:正如生物进化中的“红后效应”,猎豹越快,羚羊也进化得更快,两者共同提升了系统的活力。
当然,这一模型中也充满戏剧性和讽刺意味——尤其当我们把眼光投向其他缺乏这种机制的公链。以太坊等账户制链若在量子时代陷入危机,很可能只能选择停机硬分叉、或者由中心化机构出面更换用户密钥,几乎无自动博弈的空间可言。而比特币网络则通过精妙的协议调整,把外部威胁内化为内部博弈,让市场机制去调节和应对。这种弹性与活力,正是比特币经久不衰的原因。
结语:危机催生新生,量子力量为我所用
当年互联网面对计算机病毒肆虐时,人们最终没有被动防守,而是发展出杀毒产业、安全协议,将病毒的威胁转化为推动网络更加健壮的动力。同样道理,比特币面对量子计算的冲击,并非只能筑高墙固步自封,而是选择了更具前瞻性的道路:拥抱威胁、化敌为友。通过提前布局抗量子基础设施(UTXO模型、SegWit扩展、PQ签名算法)、逐步推行BIP-360等方案,比特币正悄然改变游戏规则。在这个新规则中,量量对决、攻守博弈将上演全新篇章,网络安全不再是一成不变的盾牌,而是一套动态进化的生态系统。
或许若干年后回望,我们会发现量子计算并没有摧毁比特币,反而成就了比特币历史上的一次重大飞跃——开启了一个后工作量证明时代的新纪元。在这个纪元里,“破解就是新挖矿”不再只是戏谑之语,而成为链上真实上演的经济现象;“出售安全”也从附属服务变成每个节点和用户的日常考量。比特币将继续履行其角色:作为一个去中心化的、自我强化的金融体系,它有能力将任何挑战转化为自身进化的燃料。
正如BIP-360提案作者所言,这是一个“when 而非 if”的议题anduro.io。量子计算终将到来,而比特币已在主动邀请它参与一场精心设计的游戏。当量子计算机真的站上擂台,比特币早已不再是那个任人宰割的靶子,而更像是一位早已摆好阵势的棋手,静候对手入局。在这盘大棋中,没有永远的猎物,只有不断进化的猎人。比特币,会是那个始终笑到最后的“猎人”吗?让我们拭目以待。

2025-06-06 12:13:16While billionaires battle for Bitcoin billions, everyday investors are missing the real revolution. Michael Saylor just quadrupled his stock offering to $1 billion for Bitcoin purchases, while Japan's Metaplanet aims to hold 100,000 BTC by 2026. These corporate treasuries aren't just hedging inflation – they're preparing for a world where traditional finance and crypto fully merge. Meanwhile, Uber is quietly exploring stablecoins to slash global money transfer costs, and the UK is lifting retail bans on crypto ETNs. The institutional chess pieces are moving while retail investors fixate on price charts. The question isn't whether Bitcoin hits $112K this year – it's whether you'll recognize the financial system transformation happening right under your nose. Are you watching the price or the paradigm shift?

Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón[a] (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈfɾiða ˈkalo]; 6 July 1907 – 13 July 1954[1]) was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self-portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico. Inspired by the country's popular culture, she employed a naïve folk art style to explore questions of identity, postcolonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society.[2] Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. In addition to belonging to the post-revolutionary Mexicayotl movement, which sought to define a Mexican identity, Kahlo has been described as a surrealist or magical realist.[3] She is also known for painting about her experience of chronic pain.[4]

How Strategy (MSTR) Built Their Capital Stack to Accelerate Bitcoin AccumulationMicroStrategy—now operating as Strategy
—has built the most aggressive Bitcoin treasury in the world. But its true innovation isn’t just holding Bitcoin. It’s in how it finances the accumulation of Bitcoin at scale without giving up control or diluting shareholder value.
The engine behind this? A meticulously designed capital stack—a multi-tiered structure of debt, preferred stock, and equity that appeals to different types of investors, each with unique risk, yield, and volatility preferences.
This is more than corporate finance—it’s a blueprint for Bitcoin-native capital formation.
What Is a Capital Stack?
A capital stack refers to the layers of capital a company uses to finance its operations and strategic goals. Each layer has its own return profile, risk level, and repayment priority in the event of liquidation.
Strategy’s capital stack is designed to do one thing exceptionally well: convert fiat capital into Bitcoin exposure—efficiently, at scale, and without compromise.
The Stack: Ordered by Priority
Strategy’s capital stack comprises five core instruments:
1. Convertible Notes
2. Strife Preferred Stock ($STRF)
3. Strike Preferred Stock ($STRK)
4. Stride Preferred Stock ($STRD)
5. Common Equity ($MSTR)These layers are ranked from highest to lowest in repayment priority. What makes this structure unique is how each layer balances downside protection, yield, and Bitcoin exposure—offering institutional investors fixed-income alternatives with varying degrees of correlation to Bitcoin.
Strategy’s Capital Stack illustrated by Chris Millas
Convertible Notes: Senior Debt with Optional Upside
Strategy’s capital stack begins with convertible notes—senior unsecured debt that can convert into equity.
- Downside: Low risk, high priority in liquidation
- Upside: Modest unless converted
- Appeal: Institutional debt investors seeking protection with optional Bitcoin-adjacent upside
These notes were Strategy’s earliest fundraising tools, enabling the company to raise billions in low-interest environments to accumulate Bitcoin without issuing equity.
Strife ($STRF): Investment-Grade Yield
Strife is a perpetual preferred stock designed to mimic high-grade fixed income.
- 10% cumulative dividend, paid in cash
- $100 liquidation preference
- No conversion rights or Bitcoin upside
- Compounding penalties on unpaid dividends
- Low volatility, medium risk profile
Strife targets conservative capital—allocators who want predictable income without equity or crypto exposure. It’s senior to other preferreds and common stock, making it a high-quality fixed-income proxy built atop a Bitcoin treasury.
Strike ($STRK): Yield + Bitcoin Optionality
Strike is convertible preferred stock—bridging fixed income and equity upside.
- 8% cumulative dividend
- Convertible into $MSTR at $1,000 strike
- Paid in cash or Class A shares
- Bitcoin exposure via conversion option
- Medium volatility, low risk
Strike appeals to investors who want income with optional participation in Bitcoin upside. In bullish Bitcoin cycles, the conversion option becomes valuable—offering a hybrid between bond-like stability and equity-like potential.
Stride ($STRD): High Yield, High Risk
Stride is the most junior preferred—non-cumulative, perpetual stock issued with high yield and few protections.
- >10% dividend, only if declared
- No compounding, no conversion, no voting rights
- Highest relative risk among preferreds
- Liquidation priority above common equity, but below all others
Stride plays a crucial role. Its issuance improves the credit quality of Strife, adding a subordinate capital buffer beneath it—similar to how mezzanine debt protects senior tranches in structured finance.
Stride attracts yield-hungry investors, enabling Strategy to raise capital without compromising more senior layers.
Common Equity ($MSTR): Pure Bitcoin Beta
At the base is Strategy’s common equity—the most volatile, least protected, but highest potential instrument in the stack.
- Unlimited upside
- No dividend, no priority
- Full exposure to Bitcoin volatility
- Voting rights, long-term ownership
Common equity is for conviction-driven investors. Over the past four years, this layer has attracted capital from funds and individuals aligned with Strategy’s Bitcoin thesis—investors who want maximal upside from a corporate Bitcoin strategy.
The Big Picture: Saylor Is Targeting the Fixed Income Market
This isn’t just a financing mechanism—it’s a direct challenge to the $130 trillion global bond market.
By issuing instruments like $STRF, $STRK, and $STRD, Strategy is offering Bitcoin-adjacent yield vehicles that absorb demand from across the capital spectrum:
- Institutional investors seeking investment-grade yield
- Hedge funds chasing structured upside
- Yield hunters willing to go down the stack for returns
Each instrument behaves like a synthetic bond, yet all are backed by a Bitcoin accumulation engine.
As Director of Bitcoin Strategy at Metaplanet, Dylan LeClair put it: “Saylor is coming for the entire fixed income market.”
Rather than issue traditional bonds, Saylor is constructing a Bitcoin-native capital stack—one that unlocks liquidity without ever selling the underlying asset.
Why It Matters: A Model for Bitcoin Treasury Strategy
Strategy’s capital structure is more than innovation—it’s a financial operating system for any public company that wants to monetize Bitcoin’s rise while maintaining capital discipline.
Key takeaways:
- Every layer matches a specific investor need: From low-risk debt to speculative yield
- Capital flows in, Bitcoin stays put: Preserving treasury position while scaling
- No single instrument dominates: The stack is diversified by design
- Control is retained: Most securities are non-voting, non-convertible
For corporations serious about building a Bitcoin-native balance sheet, this is the playbook to study.
Saylor isn’t just stacking Bitcoin—he’s engineering the financial infrastructure for a monetary paradigm shift.

MARA Announces Over $100 Million in Bitcoin Mined in May 2025Today, MARA Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MARA) reported a record high month of bitcoin production in May 2025, mining 950 BTC worth over $100 million at the time of writing. A 35% increase from April and the highest monthly output since the April 2024 halving event. MARA did not sell any bitcoin in May.
JUST IN: MARA mined 950 #Bitcoin worth over $100 MILLION in May
They HODLed all of it
pic.twitter.com/Z4v1zoEfga
— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) June 3, 2025
“May was a record-breaking month for MARA with 282 blocks won, a 38% increase over April and a new monthly high,” said the Chairman and CEO of MARA Fred Thiel. “Our total bitcoin holdings surpassed 49,000 BTC during May and the 950 bitcoin produced were the most since the halving event in April 2024.”
The company mined 282 blocks during the month, a 38% rise over the previous month, and now holds 49,179 BTC, worth roughly $5.23 billion at the time of writing.
“Our fully integrated tech stack is a key differentiator, and MARA Pool is the only self-owned and operated mining pool among public miners, offering greater control and efficiency,” stated Thiel. “Operating our pool means no fees to external operators and retention of the full value of block rewards. Production in May also benefitted from block reward luck. Since launch, MARA Pool’s block reward luck has outperformed the network average by over 10%, contributing to our industry-leading block production.”
Operational efficiency also improved, with energized hashrate rising 2% from 57.3 EH/s to 58.3 EH/s. MARA’s average daily bitcoin production hit 30.7 BTC, which is 31% more than the last month from April.
“We remain laser-focused on transforming MARA into a vertically integrated digital energy and infrastructure company,” commented Thiel. “We believe this model gives us tighter operational control, improves cost-efficiency, and makes us more resilient to shifts in the broader economy.”
Earlier this month, on May 8, MARA released its first quarter 2025 earnings, posting 213.9 million dollars in revenue. A 30 percent increase over the same period last year. The company’s bitcoin holdings surged 174 percent year over year, rising from 17,320 BTC to 47,531 BTC as of March 31, with an estimated value of 3.9 billion dollars at the time. In Q1, MARA mined 2,286 BTC and acquired an additional 340 BTC. Operational performance also strengthened, with energized hashrate nearly doubling from 27.8 EH/s to 54.3 EH/s, and cost per petahash per day improving by 25 percent.

2025-06-05 14:03:00The crypto platform had been aware of the data breach for months before the official announcement, internal sources reveal.
A Reuters investigation uncovered that Coinbase had been informed as early as January 2025 about a data breach involving outsourced customer support agents in India. Six sources familiar with the matter confirmed that the exchange knew sensitive user information had been compromised through its contractor, TaskUs, months before the formal disclosure in May.
On May 14, in a filing with the SEC, TaskUs documented part of the breach, in which an employee at its Indian office was caught photographing his work computer screen with a personal phone. Five former TaskUs workers confirmed that this employee and an alleged accomplice had been bribed by hackers to obtain Coinbase user data.
Coinbase had a long-standing partnership with TaskUs, a Texas-based outsourcing company, to reduce labor costs by assigning customer support functions to offshore teams. Since 2017, TaskUs agents handled Coinbase customer inquiries, often from lower-wage countries like India, where employees earned between $500 and $700 per month.
The financial impact of the breach
The exchange estimated that the breach could cost the company up to $400 million. In its May filing, Coinbase admitted it hadn’t fully grasped the extent of the attack until May 11, when it received a $20 million extortion demand. In response, the company terminated the TaskUs employees responsible for the breach, along with several other unnamed foreign contractors.
The post Coinbase data breach: the exchange knew about the theft since January appeared first on Atlas21.

2025-06-05 14:01:57This article was originally published on aier.org
Even after eleven years experience, and a per Bitcoin price of nearly $20,000, the incredulous are still with us. I understand why. Bitcoin is not like other traditional financial assets.
Even describing it as an asset is misleading. It is not the same as a stock, as a payment system, or a money. It has features of all these but it is not identical to them.
What Bitcoin is depends on its use as a means of storing and porting value, which in turn rests of secure titles to ownership of a scarce good. Those without experience in the sector look at all of this and get frustrated that understanding why it is valuable is not so easy to grasp.
In this article, I’m updating an analysis I wrote six years ago. It still holds up. For those who don’t want to slog through the entire article, my thesis is that Bitcoin’s value obtains from its underlying technology, which is an open-source ledger that keeps track of ownership rights and permits the transfer of these rights. Bitcoin managed to bundle its unit of account with a payment system that lives on the ledger. That’s its innovation and why it obtained a value and that value continues to rise.
Consider the criticism offered by traditional gold advocates, who have, for decades, pushed the idea that sound money must be backed by something real, hard, and independently valuable. Bitcoin doesn’t qualify, right? Maybe it does.
Bitcoin first emerged as a possible competitor to national, government-managed money in 2009. Satoshi Nakamoto’s white paper was released October 31, 2008. The structure and language of this paper sent the message: This currency is for computer technicians, not economists nor political pundits. The paper’s circulation was limited; novices who read it were mystified.
But the lack of interest didn’t stop history from moving forward. Two months later, those who were paying attention saw the emergence of the “Genesis Block,” the first group of bitcoins generated through Nakamoto’s concept of a distributed ledger that lived on any computer node in the world that wanted to host it.
Here we are all these years later and a single bitcoin trades at $18,500. The currency is held and accepted by many thousands of institutions, both online and offline. Its payment system is very popular in poor countries without vast banking infrastructures but also in developed countries. And major institutions—including the Federal Reserve, the OECD, the World Bank, and major investment houses—are paying respectful attention and weaving blockchain technology into their operations.
Enthusiasts, who are found in every country, say that its exchange value will soar even more in the future because its supply is strictly limited and it provides a system vastly superior to government money. Bitcoin is transferred between individuals without a third party. It is relatively low-cost to exchange. It has a predictable supply. It is durable, fungible, and divisible: all crucial features of money. It creates a monetary system that doesn’t depend on trust and identity, much less on central banks and government. It is a new system for the digital age.
Hard lessons for hard money
To those educated in the “hard money” tradition, the whole idea has been a serious challenge. Speaking for myself, I had been reading about bitcoin for two years before I came anywhere close to understanding it. There was just something about the whole idea that bugged me. You can’t make money out of nothing, much less out of computer code. Why does it have value then? There must be something amiss. This is not how we expected money to be reformed.
There’s the problem: our expectations. We should have been paying closer attention to Ludwig von Mises’ theory of money’s origins—not to what we think he wrote, but to what he actually did write.
In 1912, Mises released The Theory of Money and Credit. It was a huge hit in Europe when it came out in German, and it was translated into English. While covering every aspect of money, his core contribution was in tracing the value and price of money—and not just money itself—to its origins. That is, he explained how money gets its price in terms of the goods and services it obtains. He later called this process the “regression theorem,” and as it turns out, bitcoin satisfies the conditions of the theorem.
Mises’ teacher, Carl Menger, demonstrated that money itself originates from the market—not from the State and not from social contract. It emerges gradually as monetary entrepreneurs seek out an ideal form of commodity for indirect exchange. Instead of merely bartering with each other, people acquire a good not to consume, but to trade. That good becomes money, the most marketable commodity.
But Mises added that the value of money traces backward in time to its value as a bartered commodity. Mises said that this is the only way money can have value.
The theory of the value of money as such can trace back the objective exchange value of money only to that point where it ceases to be the value of money and becomes merely the value of a commodity…. If in this way we continually go farther and farther back we must eventually arrive at a point where we no longer find any component in the objective exchange value of money that arises from valuations based on the function of money as a common medium of exchange; where the value of money is nothing other than the value of an object that is useful in some other way than as money…. Before it was usual to acquire goods in the market, not for personal consumption, but simply in order to exchange them again for the goods that were really wanted, each individual commodity was only accredited with that value given by the subjective valuations based on its direct utility.
Mises’ explanation solved a major problem that had long mystified economists. It is a narrative of conjectural history, and yet it makes perfect sense. Would salt have become money had it otherwise been completely useless? Would beaver pelts have obtained monetary value had they not been useful for clothing? Would silver or gold have had money value if they had no value as commodities first? The answer in all cases of monetary history is clearly no. The initial value of money, before it becomes widely traded as money, originates in its direct utility. It’s an explanation that is demonstrated through historical reconstruction. That’s Mises’ regression theorem.
Bitcoin’s Use Value
At first glance, bitcoin would seem to be an exception. You can’t use a bitcoin for anything other than money. It can’t be worn as jewelry. You can’t make a machine out of it. You can’t eat it or even decorate with it. Its value is only realized as a unit that facilitates indirect exchange. And yet, bitcoin already is money. It’s used every day. You can see the exchanges in real time. It’s not a myth. It’s the real deal.
It might seem like we have to choose. Is Mises wrong? Maybe we have to toss out his whole theory. Or maybe his point was purely historical and doesn’t apply in the future of a digital age. Or maybe his regression theorem is proof that bitcoin is just an empty mania with no staying power, because it can’t be reduced to its value as a useful commodity.
And yet, you don’t have to resort to complicated monetary theory in order to understand the sense of alarm surrounding bitcoin. Many people, as I did, just have a feeling of uneasiness about a money that has no basis in anything physical. Sure, you can print out a bitcoin on a piece of paper, but having a paper with a QR code or a public key is not enough to relieve that sense of unease.
How can we resolve this problem? In my own mind, I toyed with the issue for more than a year. It puzzled me. I wondered if Mises’ insight applied only in a pre-digital age. I followed the speculations online that the value of bitcoin would be zero but for the national currencies into which it is converted. Perhaps the demand for bitcoin overcame the demands of Mises’ scenario because of a desperate need for something other than the dollar.
As time passed—and I read the work of Konrad Graf, Peter Surda, and Daniel Krawisz—finally the resolution came. Bitcoin is both a payment system and a money. The payment system is the source of value, while the accounting unit merely expresses that value in terms of price. The unity of money and payment is its most unusual feature, and the one that most commentators have had trouble wrapping their heads around.
We are all used to thinking of currency as separate from payment systems. This thinking is a reflection of the technological limitations of history. There is the dollar and there are credit cards. There is the euro and there is PayPal. There is the yen and there are wire services. In each case, money transfer relies on third-party service providers. In order to use them, you need to establish what is called a “trust relationship” with them, which is to say that the institution arranging the deal has to believe that you are going to pay.
This wedge between money and payment has always been with us, except for the case of physical proximity.
If I give you a dollar for your pizza slice, there is no third party. But payment systems, third parties, and trust relationships become necessary once you leave geographic proximity. That’s when companies like Visa and institutions like banks become indispensable. They are the application that makes the monetary software do what you want it to do.
The hitch is that

2025-06-05 13:14:46What is the Fiat System and How Do Central Banks Set Interest Rates?
When central banks expand credit, they often increase the money supply by creating new money through mechanisms like quantitative easing (QE). For instance, a central bank may purchase government bonds, injecting money into the economy. This boosts liquidity but can lead to inflation when too much money chases limited goods and services.
Low interest rates make borrowing cheaper, encouraging spending and investment. However, this can overheat the economy, create speculative bubbles (e.g., in real estate), and drive inflation. Conversely, high interest rates restrict borrowing, slow the economy, and curb inflation but may trigger recessions.
How Would Interest Rates Work Under a Bitcoin Standard?
Under a Bitcoin standard, the money supply is fixed—only 21 million bitcoins will ever exist, with the last one mined around 2140. Unlike the fiat system, no central authority can manipulate the money supply or set interest rates. Instead, interest rates would be determined entirely by the market—by the supply and demand for capital.
If someone wants to borrow bitcoins, the interest rate would depend on negotiations between the lender and borrower. For example, if demand for loans is high and available bitcoins are scarce, interest rates would rise. Conversely, if there are ample bitcoin savings, rates might fall. This process would be fully decentralized and reflect real market conditions, not central bank decisions.
Since new bitcoins cannot be “printed,” there would be no inflation caused by an expanding money supply. Instead, bitcoin’s value would likely rise over time (deflation) as its fixed supply competes with growing demand. This could encourage saving over reckless spending, reshaping economic behavior.
Advantages of a Bitcoin Standard
-
Protection Against Inflation: Bitcoin’s fixed supply prevents currency devaluation, a common issue with fiat money. This safeguards savings and promotes long-term planning.
-
Decentralization: Without a central bank manipulating the market, economic decisions are made by individuals, not bureaucrats. This aligns with free-market principles where competition and innovation thrive.
-
Transparency and Security: The Bitcoin blockchain is public and immutable, ensuring transactions are transparent and secure from tampering.
-
Financial Freedom: Under a Bitcoin standard, individuals have full control over their money without government or bank interference, which is especially crucial in countries with unstable regimes or currencies.
-
Discipline in Lending: Without the ability to print money, lenders would be more cautious, reducing risky investments and speculative bubbles.
Potential Drawbacks and Why a Bitcoin Standard is Superior
One major argument against a Bitcoin standard is that it could slow economic growth. Low interest rates in the fiat system encourage borrowing and spending, driving economic activity. Under a Bitcoin standard, where interest rates are market-driven and likely higher, borrowing would be costlier, potentially limiting investments in new projects.
However, this critique misses a key point: economic growth fueled by artificially low interest rates and money printing is often unsustainable. It leads to debt crises, inflation, and bubbles that eventually burst, as seen in 2008. A Bitcoin standard promotes healthy economic discipline, where investments are based on real value, not artificial capital.
Moreover, bitcoin’s deflationary nature could shift how people view money. Instead of chasing endless growth, societies might prioritize sustainability, innovation, and efficiency. This could lead to a more stable and equitable economy in the long run.
Additional Considerations
A Bitcoin standard could transform global trade. Today, countries with fiat currencies often manipulate exchange rates to gain trade advantages. With bitcoin as a universal currency, such manipulations would vanish, fostering fairer competition.
Another aspect is energy efficiency. While bitcoin mining consumes energy, it incentivizes the development of renewable sources as miners seek cheap, sustainable energy. This could accelerate the transition to a green economy.
Conclusion
The Bitcoin standard offers a vision of an economy rooted in sound money, free markets, and financial freedom. While it may slow certain aspects of economic growth, it creates a more stable and sustainable system that protects individuals from inflation and centralized control. In a world where trust in institutions is waning, the Bitcoin standard is a step toward a fairer and more transparent future.

2025-06-05 23:34:01About 156,000 blocks ago, I went to a Taco Shop for a bitcoin meetup. I asked my favorite question, “Do you accept bitcoin?”
“Yes," he said as he handed me a Toast Terminal with a BTCpayServer QR code.
]
Awesome!
12,960 blocks later, I took my dad to the taco shop. We ordered food. I asked my favorite question once again.
“Uh…Yeah, but I don't know how to work the machine.”
"Dough!🤦"
It's been a problem in the past, but now lightning payments are about to be ubiquitous. Steak N Shake is taking bitcoin using Speed Wallet and Block is implementing bitcoin payments by 2026 in all legal jurisdictions. I have tested both of these so you don't have to. Just kidding. I geek out on this stuff, but both work great. You can pay with your sats by scanning a screen on a QR code. The employees don't need to be bitcoin lightning network experts. You can just pay as easy as a credit card.
There were 35,000 people at the bitcoin conference, and 4,187 transactions were made. It was a world record. Wait, I thought they said there could only be 7 transactions per second! No, not anymore. Now we can use bitcoin for shopping. I can pay for tacos at taco trucks.
How You Can Accept Bitcoin At Your Business
Coinos is a simple bitcoin point of sale information that acts like a cash register. Bitcoin is peer-to-peer electronic cash. Coinos is a cash register and you should treat it as such. If you make a few hundred thousand sats at the end of the night, you should sweep the bitcoin into your own wallet.. You can use Aqua, AlbyHub, Bull Bitcoin wallet, or whatever your favorite lightning enabled wallet is to withdraw. You'll need a password. Do not lose this. I have tried the automatic withdraws, but it did not work for me. I'm no concerned because this is not a wallet I intend to keep a lot of sats in for a long time.
Here is my coinos payment terminal.
https://coinos.io/ZapthisBlog/receive
I made the QR code with libreqr.com/
Now I have an online bitcoin cash register. The Bitcoiners know how to pay for stuff with sats. They will be proud to show you too. If you're nerdy, you can use all the cool kid tools now, but we will just focus on the lightning address. Anyone can send you sats with a lightning address with just a QR code.
At the end of the night, you cash out to your own wallet. Again, this assumes you have an Aqua Wallet or any other lightning enabled wallet, but all it takes to accept bitcoin at your brick and mortar store is to create an account with Coinos and print out a QR code. It's a quick and easy way to start accepting bitcoin even if you don't expect many clients to shop with sats.
Tips
This is not just a cash register. Employees can also make their own Coinos wallet and receive tips from bitcoiners. Anyone can accept payments using this system. Your kids could use it to sell lemonade for sats. You are only limited by your imagination. When will you begin accepting bitcoin payments? It is easier than ever. You do not need to train employees. You do not need to be in the store. Bitcoin is peer-to-peer electronic cash so you can give it away like cash. I don't know what the tax rules on cash are. You need to verify that with your own jurisdiction. This is not financial or tax advice. This is for informational purposes only.
Remember, this is a custodial wallet. Not your keys not your bitcoin. Don't keep more sats than you are willing to lose on custodial wallets. Sweep your wallet early and often. Loss of funds is possible. There is a small fee for liquidity management too. Do your own research.

2025-06-05 10:46:0721… That number means something. A reminder that limits create value - both in Bitcoin and in life.
Every June 21st, skaters around the world remind us that freedom is something you make yourself - one push at a time only constrained by your own limitations.
This year in Vientiane, we’re proud to support one of the few real skate spots in Laos. A place built and held together by skaters for skaters.
Expect around 50 locals - from young kids to older heads - showing up not just to skate, but to hold space for each other. No ego, no filters, just boards, fun and respect.
Bircoiners have lots to learn from these communities on this regard. Go skate and you'll find out.

2025-06-06 02:55:03Your crypto wallet is probably leaking money right now. While everyone obsesses over price charts, the silent killer is gas fees – those tiny transactions add up to thousands wasted annually. Smart traders aren't just buying dips, they're timing their transactions when network congestion drops. The difference? Up to 80% savings on every move you make. Next time before hitting "confirm," check the gas tracker. Is it worth paying 3x more just to move your assets right this second? Patience isn't just a virtue in crypto – it's literally profitable. What's your strategy for minimizing transaction costs while maximizing gains?

2025-06-05 13:03:59Nos últimos anos, o Bitcoin tem sido frequentemente comparado ao ouro, ganhando o nome de "ouro digital". Essa comparação ocorre porque ambas as formas de valor têm características em comum, como escassez, durabilidade e aceitação mundial. Contudo, o Bitcoin também representa uma novidade tecnológica que muda a ideia de dinheiro e investimento, se destacando como uma alternativa moderna e eficaz ao ouro físico.
Uma das razões pelas quais o Bitcoin é comparado ao ouro é a sua escassez programada. Enquanto o ouro é um recurso natural limitado, cuja oferta depende da mineração, o Bitcoin tem um teto máximo de 21 milhões de unidades, definido em seu código. Esse teto faz com que o Bitcoin seja protegido contra a inflação, ao contrário das moedas tradicionais, que podem ser criadas sem limites pelos bancos centrais.
Essa característica traz um valor duradouro, parecido com o ouro, já que a oferta limitada ajuda a manter o poder de compra ao longo do tempo. Com o aumento da procura por Bitcoin, sua quantidade reduzida reforça seu papel como reserva de valor.
Outro aspecto que aproxima o Bitcoin do ouro é a durabilidade. Enquanto o ouro resiste à corrosão e pode ser guardado por séculos, o Bitcoin é um ativo digital protegido por criptografia avançada e armazenado na blockchain — um livro-razão imutável e descentralizado.
Além disso, o Bitcoin é mais fácil de transportar do que o ouro. Mover ouro físico envolve custos e segurança, tornando o transporte complicado, principalmente em transações internacionais. Por outro lado, o Bitcoin pode ser enviado digitalmente para qualquer parte do mundo em minutos, com taxas baixas e sem intermediários. Essa vantagem tecnológica torna o Bitcoin mais eficaz para um mundo globalizado e digital.
A segurança é outra característica que o Bitcoin e o ouro têm em comum. O ouro é difícil de falsificar, fazendo dele uma reserva de valor confiável. Da mesma forma, o Bitcoin usa protocolos de criptografia que asseguram transações seguras e protegidas contra fraudes.
Além disso, todas as transações feitas com Bitcoin são registradas na blockchain, fornecendo um nível de transparência que o ouro físico não oferece. Qualquer pessoa pode revisar as transações na rede, aumentando a confiança e a rastreabilidade.
EconômicaHistoricamente, o ouro tem sido utilizado como proteção contra a inflação e crises econômicas. Durante momentos de instabilidade, os investidores buscam o ouro como uma maneira de preservar seu patrimônio. O Bitcoin, por sua vez, está surgindo como uma alternativa digital com o mesmo propósito.
Em países com alta inflação ou instabilidade política, o Bitcoin tem sido usado como uma proteção contra a desvalorização das moedas locais. Sua natureza descentralizada impede que governos confisquem ou controlem diretamente o ativo, garantindo maior liberdade financeira para os usuários.
Apesar de suas semelhanças com o ouro, o Bitcoin ainda enfrenta desafios. Sua volatilidade é muito maior, o que pode causar incertezas a curto prazo. No entanto, muitos especialistas afirmam que essa volatilidade é uma característica comum em ativos novos e tende a diminuir com o tempo, à medida que a aceitação cresce e o mercado se desenvolve.
Outro desafio é a regulamentação. Enquanto o ouro já é reconhecido globalmente como um ativo financeiro, o Bitcoin ainda enfrenta resistência de governos e instituições financeiras, que procuram formas de controlá-lo e regulá-lo.
Resumindo, o Bitcoin, muitas vezes chamado de "ouro digital", oferece uma nova forma de valor que combina as melhores características do ouro com a eficiência e a inovação da tecnologia digital. Sua escassez planejada, segurança criptográfica, portabilidade e resistência à censura fazem dele uma alternativa viável para preservar riqueza e realizar transações no mundo moderno.
Mesmo com muita volatilidade, o Bitcoin está se firmando como uma reserva de valor e como um ativo de proteção contra crises econômicas. Assim, ele representa não apenas uma evolução do sistema financeiro, mas também um símbolo da mudança para uma economia digital descentralizada e global.

2025-06-06 02:43:10North Korea's digital heist playbook: $7.7M crypto laundering scheme reveals how rogue nations exploit tech talent. The Justice Department's latest civil forfeiture complaint targets crypto and NFTs tied to an elaborate North Korean operation where IT workers posed as legitimate freelancers, infiltrated US companies, and funneled millions through complex blockchain pathways. This isn't just another hack—it's a sophisticated economic warfare strategy that turns technical expertise into untraceable funding for weapons programs. While governments scramble to seize these digital assets, the case exposes a troubling vulnerability: how easily skilled developers can weaponize their talents in plain sight. Are your company's remote contractors who they claim to be, or part of a state-sponsored financial pipeline hiding behind a convincing digital mask?

BTCPay Server: The Backbone of Bitcoin Commerce, 2025The genesis story of BTCPay Server is without a doubt one of the most iconic moments in Bitcoin history. A single developer, feeling betrayed by Bitpay, a bitcoin payments processing giant and its attempt at co-opting Bitcoin, declared economic war on the company in a tweet that will never be forgotten by the Bitcoin industry; “This is lies, my trust in you is broken, I will make you obsolete.”
Nicolas Dorier went on to create one of the most widely distributed open source projects in the Bitcoin industry and perhaps the invoicing and payments industry as a whole: BTCPay Server. Much has been written about the context and motivation behind Dorier’s founding of the project — there’s even a documentary about it.
What’s seldom highlighted is how ambitious a project BTCPay Server is, how feature-rich it has become and how deeply integrated it is with the industry. In fact, it is easy to forget that as an open source project with no centralized database of users, BTCPay Server is both a massive privacy upgrade for its users and represents the removal of a fundamental middleman processing payments. As a result, Dorier and the BTCPay Server community have created a public goods infrastructure — a kind of commons of payment processing — that provides users real value by saving them fees, and providing them a much smoother user experience given that no personal information is required for the payments to flow.
Humbly described on their website as “a self-hosted, open-source cryptocurrency payment processor,” BTCPay Server is an invoicing and accounting system for merchants, a fully featured Bitcoin wallet with full node capabilities; on-chain, Lightning Network and Liquid Network support; hardware wallet support; and a modular plugin system. The plugins in particular extend the core of BTCPay Server into a wide range of niches. They also integrate into e-commerce giants such as WooCommerce and Shopify.
It is somewhat difficult to gauge the success and scope of BTCPay Server. Because it is a self-hosted platform that does not capture customer data of any kind — it has no central cloud service as other payment processors do — our view into its success is somewhat limited.
However, we can get a sense of their reach by proxy of other metrics, for example, their primary software repository has had over 170 open source contributors, with 8,393 commits at the time of writing.
As of 2025, BTCPay Server has had one million downloads directly from its GitHub repository, which does not account for cloud providers of the software as hosted by companies like Voltage or Lunanode. It is also often the case that one instance of BTCPay Server serves multiple merchants and hosts multiple stores simultaneously.
R0ckstardev, one of the top contributors to the project, told Bitcoin Magazine that there could be hundreds of thousands of instances of BTCPay Server running throughout the world. Tobe Chileta, a contributor to the project, also told Bitcoin Magazine that “of the seven continents of the world, I think it is only Antarctica that I haven’t seen someone run BTCPay server.” He added, “I’m certain we have merchants running in Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Europe and Australia.”
Companies
BTCPay Server’s website business directory, while far from exhaustive, covers hundreds of merchants onboarded. The BTCPay Server community also does regular case studies of user cohorts or major merchants that use the software, documenting their integration and story in their case studies page. It gives fantastic insights into a variety of Bitcoin communities throughout the world and includes useful guides on how to replicate various results and implementations.
Namecheap, for example, boasted over 70 million dollars’ of bitcoin volume since their integration of BTCPay Server. From May 18, 2020, to October 2024 they clocked in 1.1m transactions in total with over 500,000 users paying in bitcoin, resulting in over $73 million in revenue through payments made from over 200 countries.
BTC Inc, the parent company of the biggest Bitcoin conference in the world, has for years been setting up BTCPay Server for its merchants, and even has a one-hour behind-the-scenes documentary on the complexities of setting up dozens of merchants at a conference (filmed during the Nashville 2024 Bitcoin conference). The event saw over 25,000 attendees, including the 47th president of the U.S., Donald J. Trump.
In this most recent Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, BTCPay Server was used to process a new world record of Bitcoin transactions within an eight-hour period, with 4,187 transactions in total. The initial target was 4,000 transactions and was set by the Guinness World Records organization.
Integrations and Plugins
One of the most important dimensions of BTCPay Server is its plugin system. Given the wide variety of ways companies can interact with Bitcoin, the developer community has optimized the BTCPay Server code toward a plugin model that developers can build for with a well-documented set of GitHub repos and an API. Today there are over 30 plugins available on BTCPay Server. Here are some of the greatest hits:
Boltz Swap Exchange Plugin
Boltz is an atomic swap exchange focused on the various Bitcoin layers such as Liquid, Lightning, Rootstock and of course Bitcoin on-chain. It has gained prominence of late as a very simple solution to the channel rebalancing challenges Lightning wallets face. R0ckstardev told Bitcoin Magazine that he is particularly impressed with the Boltz integration, and even tweeted as much earlier this year.
I've recently been going through the code of @Boltzhq plugin for @BtcpayServer, what jackstar12 & @kilrau have done there is an absolutely l33t engineering.
It's a literal crime against humanity that what they've done was not featured more in Bitcoin media.
— Uncle Rockstar Developer (@r0ckstardev) April 24, 2025
Branded as a noncustodial Bitcoin Bridge, Boltz allows users to swap between different Bitcoin layers while retaining maximum control of their funds, using atomic swap technology that eliminates third-party trust across crypto-native payments. For example, you can use Boltz via BTCPay Server to make a Lightning payment, where the sats are initially held at rest in a Liquid network wallet and are pulled from that balance by the Boltz plugin. The L-BTC is atomically swapped for sats on the Lightning Network via the Boltz exchange and the satoshis flow to the end recipient. This whole process is effectively noncustodial.
This is the same type of “lightning service provider” style infrastructure with which Breez wallet recently announced integration. While it is not quite as cheap as a user-operated Lightning node can be in the best of cases, it is far easier to set up and run — only demanding a few clicks on the BTCPay Server interface. As far as BTCPay Server is concerned, this Boltz plugin represents a full Lightning node, integrating natively with the invoicing and accounting layers.
This tech also scales quite well: One BTCPay Server admin can support many different merchants and not even have to run or manage a standard Lightning node, since the plugin supports automated liquidity management.
The Bolt Cards Plugin
The Bolt card, a company and product created by the Coincenter exchange, has come into prominence recently thanks to its unique graphics and the laser-eyes that light up on tap-to-pay. They, too, have a BTCPay Server plugin that lets users manage and connect these cool NFC cards to their wallets via the plugin.
BITCOIN IS MONEY.

2025-06-05 12:55:10Chorus: تجربة في البرمجة الانسداحية
كيفية بناء تطبيق Nostr بسرعة البرق باستخدام الذكاء الاصطناعي.
في 26 مايو، تم إطلاق تطبيق Chorus في منتدى أوسلو للحرية. صُمم هذا التطبيق للناشطين والمعارضين ومنظمي المجتمع، ويتميز بمجموعات تشبه تلك الموجودة في فيسبوك مع محفظة eCash مدمجة لجمع التبرعات.
Chorus مبني على Nostr، وهو بروتوكول لامركزي ومفتوح مصمم ليكون مقاومًا للرقابة. يمكن لأي شخص في العالم إنشاء حساب Nostr والنشر إلى خوادم Nostr، أو حتى بناء تطبيق Nostr خاص به — ولا يمكن لأحد إيقافه. هذا ما يجعل Nostr المكان المثالي للمقاتلين من أجل الحرية، الذين غالبًا ما يواجهون الرقابة من الحكومات الاستبدادية أو الشركات التي تتحكم في المنصات الاجتماعية الرئيسية.
يمكن للمستخدمين إنشاء حساب Chorus (أو تسجيل الدخول باستخدام حساب Nostr موجود) في ثوانٍ والبدء فورًا في استلام eCash، وإنشاء مجموعات، ومشاركة المحتوى. يتضمن التطبيق ميزات قوية لإدارة المجتمع، بحيث يمكن للمجموعات اختيار أنواع المحتوى التي تسمح بها وفقًا لشروطها الخاصة. يمكن للمستخدمين إرسال eCash على الفور إلى المجموعات التي يرغبون في دعمها، مما يوفر أداة لجمع التبرعات عبر الحدود لا يمكن لأي حكومة إيقافها.
قبل عام فقط، ربما استغرق بناء النسخة التي تم إطلاقها الأسبوع الماضي من Chorus أسابيع. ولكن بفضل أدوات الذكاء الاصطناعي الحالية، قمنا بذلك في خمسة أيام فقط.
⸻
كيفية القيام بذلك: بناء تطبيق في أيام باستخدام وكلاء الذكاء الاصطناعي
الخطوة 1: تجميع الفريق
تم بناء Chorus بواسطة And Other Stuff، وهي مجموعة جديدة مكرسة لتعزيز Nostr في خمسة مجالات رئيسية: تجربة المستخدم والتسجيل، المجتمعات، الاتصالات الخاصة، التجارة، والذكاء الاصطناعي. شمل فريق هذا المشروع: • Calle، منشئ Cashu (eCash) • JeffG، منشئ White Noise (الاتصالات الخاصة) • Rabble و Liz Swiegart من Nos (تجربة المستخدم والتسجيل) • Alex Gleason و MK Fain، منشئو Soapbox (المجتمعات) • و Jack Dorsey (مستشار)
الخطوة 2: البدء بقالب قوي
عند البرمجة بالانسداح، السياق هو الملك. إذا بدأت بمجلد فارغ وطلبت من وكيل ذكاء اصطناعي “بناء تطبيق مجموعات Nostr”، فلا يزال أمامك الكثير من العمل للحصول على شيء وظيفي حتى بشكل بسيط. من المحتمل أن تكون تنفيذات Nostr محاكاة، لا تتصل بخوادم حقيقية، أو تم تنفيذها بشكل غير صحيح. قد تكون أنواع الأحداث خاطئة، وقد لا يتم تحميل واجهة المستخدم، وحظًا سعيدًا في محاولة معرفة الخطوة التالية لإصلاح الفوضى.
هذا لأن الذكاء الاصطناعي يفتقر إلى بعض السياقات الرئيسية للبدء: • وثائق صديقة للذكاء الاصطناعي حول بروتوكول Nostr • أمثلة عالية الجودة على تنفيذ Nostr • أساسيات حول تكديس التكنولوجيا المفضل • سياق حول كيفية بناء المشروع وتشغيله وتصحيحه
الحل هو توفير المزيد من السياق، وسيكون العديد من مبرمجي الانسداح المخضرمين على دراية بالصراع في محاولة جعل الوكيل يقرأ روابط مختلفة للوثائق ويتبع 500 كلمة من السياق المصاغ بعناية في مطالبتهم الافتتاحية. ومع ذلك، غالبًا ما يربك هذا الوكلاء الذين يعملون بشكل أفضل مع مطالبات بسيطة. الحل لهذه المشكلة هو Stacks.
Stacks: بدء البرمجة الانسداحية بسرعة
Stacks تحل مشكلة نقص السياق الأولي من خلال إنشاء قوالب جاهزة مصممة خصيصًا لاستخدام وكلاء الذكاء الاصطناعي. يمكن استخدام “stack” لبناء أي نوع من المشاريع بأي لغة برمجة مع أي هدف نهائي في الاعتبار. بالنسبة لـ Chorus، استخدمنا MKStack، وهو قالب مصمم خصيصًا لبناء تطبيقات Nostr.
يتميز MKStack بعدة حلول للمشاكل الشائعة في الذكاء الاصطناعي: • Nostrbook MCP للاستعلام عن وثائق Nostr • مكونات بداية لميزات Nostr الشائعة مثل تسجيل الدخول • دعم Blossom لتحميل الوسائط • ملفات سياقية لتوجيه الوكيل خلال العقبات الشائعة وسير عمل التصحيح • نشر موقعك على الفور باستخدام Surge
النتيجة هي موقع جميل يعمل مباشرة مع Nostr في مطالبة واحدة:
“بناء تطبيق مجموعات على غرار فيسبوك على Nostr باستخدام NIP 72.”
كان هذا هو نتيجة تلك المطالبة الواحدة: http://groups72.surge.sh
الخطوة 3: إضافة الميزات باستخدام وكلاء الذكاء الاصطناعي
Stacks بدأت تطوير Chorus بسرعة. بعد ذلك، استخدمنا وكلاء الذكاء الاصطناعي لإضافة ميزات إضافية مثل: • محفظة eCash مدمجة • ميزات إدارة المجتمع • دعم الوسائط المتعددة
كل ذلك تم باستخدام مطالبات بسيطة وتوجيهات للذكاء الاصطناعي، مما سمح لنا ببناء تطبيق كامل الوظائف في أيام قليلة فقط.
⸻

Here are the top stats from the last period:
- Total Bitcoin-accepting merchants: 15,306 → 16,284
- Recently verified (1y): 7,540 → 7,803 (the rest of our dataset is slowly rotting; help us before it's too late!)
- Avg. days since last verification: 398 → 405 (more mappers, please)
- Merchants boosted: 22 (for a total of 4,325 days, someone is feeling generous)

Find current stats over at the 👉 BTC Map Dashboard.
Merchant Adoption
Steak n’ Shake
The US 🇺🇸 is a massive country, yet its BTC Map footprint has been lagging relative to other countries ... that is until now!
In what came as a nice surprise to our Shadowy Supertaggers 🫠, the Steak ’n Shake chain began accepting Bitcoin payments across hundreds of its locations nationwide (with some international locations too).
According to CoinDesk, the rollout has been smooth, with users reporting seamless transactions powered by Speed.
This marks a significant step towards broader Bitcoin adoption in the US. Now to drop the capital gains tax on cheesburgers!
SPAR Switzerland
In other chain/franchise adoption news, the first SPAR supermarket in Switzerland 🇨🇭 to begin accepting Bitcoin was this one in Zug. It was quickly followed by this one in Rossrüti and this one in Kreuzlingen, in what is believed to be part of a wider roll-out plan within the country powered by DFX's Open CryptoPay.
That said, we believe the OG SPAR crown goes to SPAR City in Arnhem Bitcoin City!
New Features
Merchant Comments in the Web App
Web App users are now on par with Android users in that they can both see and make comments on merchants.
This is powered by our tweaked API that enables anyone to make a comment as long as they pass the satswall fee of 500 sats. This helps keep spam manageable and ensure quality comments.
And just in case you were wondering what the number count was on the merchant pins - yep, they're comments!
Here is an 👉 Example merchant page with comments.
Merchant Page Design Tweaks
To support the now trio of actions (Verify, Boost & Comment) on the merchant page, we've re-jigged the design a little to make things a little clearer.
What do you think?
Technical
Codebase Refactoring
Thanks to Hannes’s contributions, we’ve made progress in cleaning-up the Web App's codebase and completing long overdue maintenance. Whilst often thankless tasks, these caretaking activities help immensely with long-term maintainability enabling us to confidently build new features.
Auth System Upgrades
The old auth system was held together with duct tape and prayers, and we’re working on a more robust authentication system to support future public API access. Updates include:
- Password hashing
- Bearer token support
- Improved security practices
More enhancements are in progress and we'll update you in the next blog post.
Better API Documentation
Instead of relying on tribal knowledge, we're finally getting around to writing actual docs (with the help/hindrance of LLMs). The "move fast, break everything" era is over; now we move slightly slower and break slightly less. Progress!
Database Improvements
We use SQLite, which works well but it requires careful handling in async Rust environments. So now we're untangling this mess to avoid accidental blocking queries (and the ensuing dumpster fires).
Backup System Enhancements
BTC Map data comes in three layers of fragility:
- Merchants (backed up by OS - the big boys handle this)
- Non-OSM stuff (areas, users, etc. - currently stored on a napkin)
- External systems (Lightning node, submission tickets - pray to Satoshi)
We're now forcing two core members to backup everything, because redundancy is good.

2025-06-06 01:42:46North Korea's digital heist reveals the dark side of crypto's borderless nature. The US Justice Department is hunting $7.7 million in stolen cryptocurrency and NFTs allegedly laundered through an elaborate scheme involving North Korean IT workers posing as legitimate freelancers. This isn't just another hack—it's a sophisticated state-sponsored operation exploiting the very features that make crypto revolutionary: anonymity and borderless transactions. While we celebrate crypto's ability to transcend boundaries, this case exposes how those same qualities create perfect conditions for rogue nations to fund weapons programs and evade sanctions. The crypto industry faces a critical balancing act: how do we preserve financial freedom while preventing bad actors from exploiting the system? Perhaps the solution isn't more regulation but smarter blockchain analytics and international cooperation. What security measures would you support that don't compromise crypto's core principles?

2025-06-06 11:01:505/27/2025, Las Vegas, NV — Sati, a Bitcoin payments app and Lightning infrastructure provider, today announced the launch of its Lightning integration with Xverse, a Bitcoin wallet used by over 1.5 million people worldwide.
Thanks to the integration, Xverse users can now send and receive sats (bitcoin’s smallest denomination) instantly over the Lightning Network with no setup, no app switching, and no custodial risk.
Initially designed in 2017, the Lightning Network has grown to become Bitcoin’s leading layer-2, with a current BTC capacity of over $465M.
Sati is now leveraging this technology to bring the world’s favorite digital currency into the pockets of 3 billion users worldwide, thanks to its powerful API integration with WhatsApp.
“Bitcoin was not meant to be an asset for Wall Street—it was built for peer-to-peer money, borderless and accessible,” said Felipe Servin, Founder and CEO of Sati.
“Integrating Lightning natively into Xverse brings that vision back to life, making Bitcoin usable at scale for billions.”
Thanks to the integration, every Xverse user now gets a Lightning Address instantly.
That means they can receive tips, pay invoices, and use Bitcoin for microtransactions—all without having to manage channels or switch between different apps.
Sati expects USDT on Lightning to be supported as early as Q3 for the Xverse wallet and in July 2025 for users accessing Sati through WhatsApp.
This integration positions Sati’s role as a Lightning infrastructure provider, not just a consumer app.
By leveraging its API-based solution, the company provides plug-and-play backend services to wallets and platforms looking to add Bitcoin payments without compromising on security or UX.
The Xverse launch follows the debut of Parasite Pool, a new mining pool leveraging Sati and Xverse’s tech stack and focused on democratizing Bitcoin mining.
Parasite Pool charges 0% fees and pays out instantly over Lightning, making it ideal for small-scale miners, especially those running ultra-low-power hardware like Bitaxe.
With over 500 users joining Parasite Pool within weeks of launch and an average pool hashrate of 5 PH/s, Parasite Pool is steadily growing its presence in the home mining space.
Thanks to the Lightning integration, Parasite Pool supports the smallest Lightning payouts in the industry (a fraction of a cent), lowering the barrier to entry for anyone interested in mining.
Sati recently closed a $600K pre-seed round backed by Bitcoin-focused investors, including Draper Associates, BitcoinFi, Arcanum, BoostVC, and Ricardo Salinas.
The funding is being used to support global expansion, stablecoin integration, Lightning infrastructure growth, and broader access to Bitcoin in emerging markets.
Sati will be conducting live product demos at Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas on May 27-29. To learn more about Sati, visit sati.pro

2025-06-06 11:01:49Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy, has stirred up the Bitcoin community with his recent comments on proof-of-reserves, calling it a “bad idea” that puts institutional security at risk.
Speaking at a side event at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, Saylor expressed strong concerns about the security implications of on-chain proof of reserves (PoR), a method used by many bitcoin companies to show they actually hold the assets they claim.
“The conventional way of issuing proof of reserves today is actually insecure,” Saylor said.
“It actually dilutes the security of the issuer, the custodians, the exchanges and the investors. It’s not a good idea, it’s a bad idea.”
Proof-of-reserves is a process where companies with bitcoin reserves share public wallet addresses or use cryptographic methods to prove how much bitcoin they hold.
This practice gained popularity after the collapse of major exchanges like FTX and Mt. Gox to build trust through transparency.
Many big players in the digital asset space, including Binance, Kraken, OKX and asset manager Bitwise, have adopted PoR to reassure users and stakeholders.
Related: Bitwise Announces On-Chain Address, Donations Go to Shareholders
Saylor’s objections boil down to two main points.
First, he believes publishing wallet addresses creates serious security risks. By exposing institutional wallet structures, companies may open themselves up to attacks from hackers, hostile governments or malicious actors.
“[It’s like] publishing the address and the bank accounts of all your kids and the phone numbers of all your kids and then thinking somehow that makes your family better,” Saylor said.
“(It becomes) an attack vector for hackers, nation-state actors, every type of troll imaginable.”
He even asked the audience to try a thought experiment:
“Go to AI, put it in deep think mode and then ask it ‘what are the security problems of publishing your wallet addresses?’ and ‘how might it undermine the security of your company over time’ … It will write you a book. It will be fifty pages of security problems.”
Second, Saylor pointed out that proof of reserves only shows what a company owns, not what it owes. In his view, that’s incomplete.
“It’s proof of assets that is insecure, and it is not proof of liabilities… So you own $63 billion worth of bitcoin—do you have a hundred billion dollars of liabilities?” he asked rhetorically.
For large institutions and investors, this view of financial health is not enough.
Instead of publishing wallet addresses, Saylor thinks the better approach is to use institutional-grade audits by trusted firms.
“The best practice… would be to have a Big Four auditor that checks to make sure you actually have the bitcoin, then checks to make sure the company hasn’t rehypothecated or pledged the bitcoin,” he said.
“Then you have to wash it through a public company where the CFO signs, then the CEO signs, then the chairman and all the outside directors are civilly and criminally liable for it.”
He believes the legal consequences of corporate auditing — including prison time for fraud under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act — are stronger than cryptographic proof alone.
He did admit that a more secure, future version of PoR might be possible if it involved zero-knowledge proofs that protect wallet privacy while still confirming ownership.
Not everyone agrees with Saylor’s opinion. While some praised his focus on security, others accused Saylor of hiding something.
Speculations resurfaced about whether Strategy truly holds all the bitcoin it claims, or if it’s involved in so-called “paper bitcoin” — claims to BTC without physical backing.
Others pointed out that exchanges like Kraken and asset managers like Bitwise have implemented PoR systems without major breaches.

2025-06-05 12:49:36O surgimento do Bitcoin trouxe uma nova visão para o conceito de dinheiro, desafiando o sistema financeiro convencional baseado em moedas fiduciárias. Enquanto as moedas fiduciárias, como o real, o dólar e o euro, são amplamente usadas e reconhecidas como métodos de troca, o Bitcoin representa uma inovação digital que propõe descentralização e autonomia financeira. Embora ambos desempenhem funções básicas como meio de troca e reserva de valor, suas diferenças principais estão na maneira como são emitidos, geridos e transacionados.
Uma das principais distinções entre o Bitcoin e as moedas fiduciárias é a maneira como são emitidos e administrados. As moedas fiduciárias são emitidas por bancos centrais, que têm o poder de regular sua quantidade em circulação. Esse modelo permite a aplicação de políticas monetárias, como o aumento da oferta de dinheiro para estimular a economia ou a diminuição para controlar a inflação. No entanto, essa capacidade também pode resultar na desvalorização da moeda, se for emitida em excesso.
O Bitcoin, por outro lado, tem um sistema de emissão totalmente descentralizado. Ele é criado por meio de um processo chamado mineração, no qual computadores resolvem problemas matemáticos complexos para validar transações na rede. Além disso, a oferta total de bitcoins é limitada a 21 milhões de unidades, tornando-o um ativo deflacionário, ou seja, sua escassez pode aumentar seu valor ao longo do tempo. Essa limitação contrasta fortemente com a natureza ilimitada da impressão de moedas fiduciárias.
Moedas fiduciárias são centralizadas, o que significa que sua emissão e controle são decididos por autoridades governamentais. Isso também implica que transações feitas com essas moedas passam por intermediários, como bancos, que podem aplicar taxas e limites, além de estarem sujeitos a regulamentações e auditorias.
O Bitcoin, por sua vez, é descentralizado. Ele opera em uma rede peer-to-peer, onde as transações são verificadas por participantes chamados mineradores e registradas em um livro público conhecido como blockchain. Essa descentralização elimina a necessidade de intermediários, tornando o Bitcoin mais resistente à censura e ao controle governamental. Isso também proporciona maior transparência, já que qualquer pessoa pode verificar as transações na rede.
Outra diferença importante está na maneira como as transações são feitas. Com moedas fiduciárias, as transações geralmente dependem de bancos ou sistemas de pagamento, que podem impor restrições de horários e taxas altas, especialmente para transferências internacionais.
O Bitcoin, por outro lado, permite transferências diretas entre pessoas, em qualquer lugar do mundo e a qualquer momento, sem a necessidade de intermediários. Isso torna o sistema mais acessível, especialmente para aqueles que não possuem contas bancárias ou vivem em países com sistemas financeiros restritivos. Além disso, as taxas de transação do Bitcoin podem ser menores do que as taxas cobradas por bancos tradicionais.
As moedas fiduciárias proporcionam segurança baseada em leis governamentais e no sistema bancário, mas os usuários precisam confiar nesses intermediários. O Bitcoin, em contrapartida, oferece um alto nível de segurança através de criptografia avançada. As carteiras digitais, que guardam bitcoins, são protegidas por chaves privadas, assegurando que somente o dono possa acessá-las.
No entanto, a privacidade funciona de maneira diferente. Transações em moedas fiduciárias normalmente estão ligadas à identidade do usuário, enquanto o Bitcoin oferece um certo nível de anonimato, já que os endereços das carteiras não requerem identificação pessoal. Ainda assim, todas as transações são públicas e registradas no blockchain, o que pode ser um ponto de monitoramento para autoridades.
O valor das moedas fiduciárias é sustentado pela confiança no governo que as emite e na economia do país. Por outro lado, o Bitcoin não é apoiado por nenhum governo ou ativo físico. Seu valor é definido pela oferta e demanda no mercado, fazendo com que seja altamente volátil. Embora essa volatilidade apresente um risco, também atrai pessoas que veem o Bitcoin como uma possibilidade de valorização a longo prazo.
Resumindo, o Bitcoin e as moedas fiduciárias diferem significativamente em sua estrutura, controle e funcionalidade. Enquanto as moedas fiduciárias são controladas por governos e dependem de intermediários, o Bitcoin oferece descentralização, transparência e liberdade financeira. Apesar de sua volatilidade e alguns desafios relacionados à regulamentação, o Bitcoin representa uma alternativa nova ao sistema financeiro tradicional.

2025-06-05 12:27:43When people talk about Bitcoin, it’s often described as a digital currency or a “speculative investment.” However, one of Bitcoin’s most fundamental and least understood roles is its function as a settlement network. To understand this, it’s worth comparing it with traditional settlement systems like SWIFT and exploring how Bitcoin offers a foundational layer for global value transfer decentralized and censorship-resistant.
First, let’s explain the difference between liquidity and settlement:
-
Liquidity refers to the ease with which an asset can be converted into “money” without losing value.
-
Settlement is the process of completing a transaction (actual transfer of value between parties).
SWIFT: The communication layer of the traditional financial system
The SWIFT system (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) is a network for communication between banks. It doesn’t move money directly but sends standardized messages that instruct financial institutions to perform transfers. The process involves multiple intermediaries, is costly, slow (can take days), and depends on trust between parties and local regulations.
Unlike SWIFT, Bitcoin is a self-sufficient network that enables the direct settlement of value between two parties, without the need for intermediaries. With each block mined, transactions are validated and recorded immutably in a global, transparent, and secure database: the timechain or "blockchain".
01 - Final settlement: Once a transaction is confirmed by a sufficient number of blocks, it is considered final and irreversible.
02 - Censorship resistance: There is no central entity that can block or reverse a valid transaction.
03 - Global availability: The network is accessible 24/7 anywhere in the world with internet access.
Just as gold once served as the foundation of monetary systems, Bitcoin is establishing itself as a base layer of digital value. This layer can support others, such as:
01 - The Lightning Network, which enables near-instant transactions with extremely low fees;
02 - Tokenized financial services, which can use Bitcoin as collateral or for inter-institutional settlement.
By functioning as a public and neutral settlement network, Bitcoin offers an alternative to the traditional system, which is fragmented, closed, and reliant on trust between institutions.
In summary, more than just a speculative asset, Bitcoin is emerging as a global financial infrastructure. As a settlement network, it removes intermediaries, reduces costs, increases security, and democratizes access to value transfer. In an increasingly interconnected and digital world, understanding Bitcoin’s role as a base layer may be key to understanding the future of money.
Thank you very much for reading this far. I hope everything is well with you, and sending a big hug from your favorite Bitcoiner maximalist from Madeira. Long live freedom!

2025-06-05 12:15:33So Much… and Still, Not Feeling It
So much abundance. It’s everywhere—overflowing around me. My six-year-old car would be a magical carriage to kings and queens of old. And yet, I get in, turn the key, and don’t often Feel The Magic.
Do I let myself feel how abundant life is? Eh. That does not come by default for me.
Adapting Is Normal. Savoring Is Not.
I adapt. I’m good at it. Weather shifts 40 degrees? No problem. A new location? I’ll adjust. And that’s useful—it keeps me moving. But it also numbs me. If I only adapt, life flattens out. That’s not thriving. That’s functioning.
Thriving, I’ve come to feel, asks for something more.
Our ancestors had rituals. They didn’t just adapt… they paused to feel the blessings, to name them. That created richness—not just survival. And today? I can have food delivered to my door. Are you a king? No—just have Amazon Prime.
Still, I want more than convenience. I want connection. To the food I eat. The flowers that bloom. The people I love. I want to feel that connection in my bones.
My Engineer Brain Doesn’t Celebrate
And yet, my mind often slips into improvement mode. I see what could be better. Smoother. More efficient. Useful? Sure. Celebratory? Not so much.
So I’ve started something: at the end of each day, when I look at my to-do list, I take a breath. I ask: what were the blessings today? Not just the big ones—because we adapt to those too. A new car? A new house? We get used to it. Quickly. But the micro-blessings… those are different.
My daughter’s laugh at a silly face I made yesterday. That memory settles deeper when I notice it and write it down. That’s a micro-blessing. I want to feel more of those.
A New Practice, A Shift in Dreams
And after about 75 days of doing this nightly pause, I’m noticing something surprising: my dreams are changing. They’re weaving in those sweet, ordinary moments. They say, “Yes. Adapt. And also savor.”
The Confusion Between Privilege and Blessing
But here’s something raw. Something I’ve hesitated to share.
I’m a white man. An older one. And I’ve been in spaces where “white male privilege” is spoken as a curse. I absorbed that. My body did. And it twisted something deep inside me. Because in my system, “privileged” and “blessing” are linked.
So I started feeling that feeling blessed was wrong. Like I should shrink from it. That it was unfair, maybe even immoral.
I’ve had to tap through that.
Is it okay to feel blessed? Not above anyone—but blessed to have food. Skill. Mobility. A car that works. Is it okay?
Yes.
I Don’t Want to Shrink or Perform
Scarcity and guilt are real energies, but I don’t want them steering my experience of life. I want to choose presence. Connection. I want to know in my body: I am blessed. And I can feel that without disconnecting from those who are struggling.
I don’t want to perform gratitude out of duty. But I also don’t want to avoid it out of shame.
Practicing Our Birthright
Abundance is our birthright. Many of us are born with protections our ancestors could barely dream of—shelter, clean water, safety from predators. And if we want to truly be thriving, not just surviving, it feels essential to practice remembering that.
Because adaptation will keep us alive.
But only conscious attention to blessings—only savoring—will let us thrive.
Useful Concepts for Thriving in This Story
-
Abundance\ Abundance is the felt experience of more-than-enoughness, when we pause to really receive what surrounds and sustains us.
-
Adapting\ Adapting keeps us functional, but thriving asks us to adapt and engage with what truly nourishes us.
-
Awareness\ Awareness brings the blessings into view—even the ones so small they almost disappear without it.
-
Allowing\ Allowing lets us stay open to blessings, even when shame or guilt try to close the door.
-
Thriving\ Thriving means more than surviving—it’s about feeling, savoring, and aligning with life’s richness.

2025-06-05 11:03:01H100 Group AB, a Swedish publicly listed health technology company, has made the headlines after investing in bitcoin as part of a new financial strategy.
The move has caused a stir in Sweden and beyond, with H100’s stock price rising 40% after the announcement.
The company has bought 4.39 bitcoin for 5 million Norwegian Krone (around $475,000–$492,000).
This is the company’s first foray into the digital asset space and makes H100 Group the first publicly-listed health tech company in Sweden to hold bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset.
The bitcoin was bought at an average price of 1,138,737 NOK (around $108,000) per coin.
The bitcoin purchase is part of H100 Group’s new “Bitcoin Treasury Strategy” to diversify its financial assets and strengthen its balance sheet. Instead of holding idle cash, the company decided to invest in what it sees as a long-term asset.
“This addition to H100’s Bitcoin Treasury Strategy follows an increasing number of tech-oriented growth companies holding bitcoin on their balance sheet,” said CEO Sander Andersen.
“And I believe the values of individual sovereignty highly present in the Bitcoin community aligns well with, and will appeal to, the customers and communities we are building the H100 platform for.”
Andersen said they will “build and hold” bitcoin long-term, viewing it as a savings tool, not a short-term trade.
The market reacted fast. On May 22, the company’s stock went up 39.27%, seeing highs of 1.620 SEK on the Nordic Growth Market.
This helped the company to recover a big part of the losses from the last two months, during which the stock fell 46%.
And now, after the purchase, the firm’s market cap is around $150.46 million.
H100 has said this might not be the only purchase. The company has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to set up a convertible loan facility of up to 10 million SEK with an undisclosed investor.
H100 Group’s announcement — Source
The funds will be used for general corporate purposes and to potentially increase bitcoin holdings. The loan will have a 3-year term and can be converted into shares at 1.3 SEK per share.
If H100’s stock price is more than 33% above the conversion price for more than 60 days, H100 will have the right to force conversion.
The company also announced today that it has successfully raised 21 million SEK ($2.21 million) through a convertible round led by Blockstream founder and CEO Adam Back.
Despite the Bitcoin pivot, H100 Group has made it clear that the core business remains the same.
They will continue to develop AI-powered automation tools and digital platforms to help healthcare providers deliver better services, especially in the health and longevity space.
Andersen said they are committed to healthy living, and adopting a bitcoin strategy is a smarter financial move that aligns with their values.
H100’s move comes as corporate adoption of bitcoin accelerates globally.
According to BitcoinTreasuries over 109 public companies now list bitcoin on their balance sheets. Among those are companies like Twenty One Capital, Strive and Metaplanet.

2025-06-06 09:30:54If you’ve ever found yourself confused by how much love is present in your marriage but still feel emotionally disconnected, this post is for you. If you're a man trying to understand why your efforts at connection don’t seem to land, this post is for you too. There’s a hidden variable affecting many modern marriages, one that’s rarely talked about. It might not only explain the emotional dissonance you’ve been feeling, but also offer a path to deeper connection, restored emotional vitality, and greater intimacy. What you discover here may change everything, for both of you.
The Comfort/Excitement Balance To Attraction
To understand why the balance between comfort and excitement matters so much in relationships, especially for women,we need to look beneath cultural narratives and into biology. This isn't about blaming anyone, it's about revealing a deeper structure most people have never been shown. If you’ve ever wondered why emotional or sexual connection can fluctuate in intensity even when love is constant, the answer often lies in your nervous system. Your biology plays a bigger role than you think.
What we're about to explore isn't a theory. It's the result of millions of years of evolutionary adaptation. Female nervous systems are built differently than male ones, not just in how they process emotions, but in how they respond to sensory input, bonding cues, and stimulation. These differences are crucial to understanding why certain dynamics succeed or fail in marriage.
Most women have a significantly higher demand for sensory and emotional stimulation. This isn't conjecture, it's a physiological consequence of female neurobiology. Estrogen enhances sensory receptivity, and women's skin has more nerve endings and finer spatial resolution than men's. Combined with hormonal modulation of emotional states, this results in a heightened need for both physical and emotional engagement.
Some of that need is biologically satisfied through caring for children, which provides a form of continuous low-level stimulation. But in the absence of children or outside of maternal bonding, that same physiological mechanism still demands input. This is where the husband comes in. He must not only provide security and predictability (comfort), but also novelty, dominance, and emotional friction (excitement) to sustain mutual engagement.
So the comfort/excitement tension isn't just a social preference or cultural trope. It's a necessary equilibrium in female emotional homeostasis. That 2:1 balance in either direction is about right, too much comfort and attraction decays; too much excitement and the system destabilizes.
What appears socially as "relationship dynamics" is, at root, a consequence of evolutionary strategies for reproductive success and pair-bond longevity. The reason the dichotomy exists at all is because the female nervous system demands it.
Autistic and Pseudo-Autistic Traits
Now, there's a complicating factor we rarely talk about: women on the autism spectrum. These women have the same underlying needs for sensory and emotional stimulation, but their ability to interpret, process, or even tolerate that input is compromised by their neurotype. This doesn’t mean the needs disappear. It means they’re harder to fulfill, even when the husband is doing everything right.
There's also a broader layer to this. Although autism is formally diagnosed in only 1-2% of women, many more display pseudo-autistic behaviors, symptoms that mirror autism but arise from a different cause: developmental deprivation. In our modern, sanitized, screen-heavy environment, many children, especially girls, are not exposed to the kinds of sensory, social, and environmental inputs their nervous systems evolved to process. Overprotection, lack of physical play, digital overstimulation, and reduced face-to-face interaction leave them under-calibrated for real-world complexity. As adults, these women often experience normal life as overwhelming, leading to social withdrawal, emotional volatility, and relationship breakdowns.
They aren't broken. They're untrained. Their nervous systems are underdeveloped in key dimensions because the environment didn't give them the calibration they needed during childhood and adolescence. This creates a large cohort of women who are not autistic in a clinical sense but present with very similar issues, especially in intimate relationships.
Signs of Under-Calibrated Nervous Systems
This can create serious distortions in the feedback loop of a marriage. The woman feels under-stimulated or emotionally disconnected, but because her husband’s signaling doesn’t land as intended, she may interpret the problem as his failure, not her filtering.
If her nervous system is already operating near a fight-or-flight threshold due to sensory overload, even normal masculine behavior, like assertiveness, protectiveness, or sexual pursuit, can feel overwhelming or even threatening. As a result, she may demonize traits she would otherwise find attractive. She’s not rejecting masculinity itself; she’s reacting to a distorted perception created by her overstimulated state. Meanwhile, the husband often understands something is off but lacks the tools to make it land.
So how can a man know if his wife might be neuroatypical or under-calibrated? Here are a few recurring patterns to look for:
-
She gets overwhelmed by physical touch or sound, even in safe and intimate contexts.
-
She has difficulty articulating emotional states or interpreting yours.
-
She avoids spontaneity or novelty, preferring strict routines.
-
She gets easily irritated by sensory input most people filter out.
-
She misreads social cues and seems detached in emotionally charged moments.
-
She experiences frequent shutdowns or emotional flatness, not just mood swings.
These aren't definitive on their own, but together, they can indicate that her nervous system is running a different decoding protocol. And crucially, many of these women are never diagnosed. They grow up masking, adapting, and internalizing their differences just enough to barely get by.
That can work when they’re younger, have more energy, and life is relatively simple. But once they marry and have children, the increasing complexity overwhelms their already underdeveloped coping mechanisms, and they crash out hard.
That crash can take a lot of forms: a mental breakdown, impulsive decisions like cheating or walking away from the marriage, or just a deep well of unhappiness that leaks into every part of the household. They might spiral into dissatisfaction and blame everyone around them, especially their husbands, not because those people are doing something wrong, but because the internal system can't handle the load anymore.
Advice for Husbands
This asymmetry can generate chronic resentment, even in otherwise loving marriages. It’s important for women in this position to recognize that their own neurology or environmental history might be interrupting the satisfaction of their needs, not that the needs don’t exist, nor that the husband isn’t trying. Awareness alone can reduce misplaced blame and help couples co-develop more precise, intentional forms of connection. The good news: once understood, it’s manageable.
If you're a husband facing this situation, and your wife is struggling to recognize the pattern, the best starting point is non-confrontational curiosity. Instead of making accusations or suggesting she's "on the spectrum," try something like: "I’ve been thinking about how different people process things, especially emotions and sensory input. Have you ever noticed if certain things hit you differently than they seem to hit other people?" This opens the door without assigning blame.
From there, introduce patterns you’ve noticed gently, using neutral observations rather than critiques. It might seem frustrating that you have to be so careful, but there’s a reason for it: if she’s already dealing with all the sensory and emotional overload we’ve described, she probably knows something’s wrong, and feels it deep in her body. Most women don’t do well with direct confrontation even when they’re calm. When they’re overloaded, it doesn’t just stress them, it triggers a defensive reflex. If you come in too hard, it sets up a "you versus me" frame instead of an "us versus the problem" one. The goal is to frame the issue as a shared mystery you’re solving together, not a personal flaw she needs to fix.
Interpreting Male Emotional Expression
One of the most commonly misunderstood aspects of male behavior, especially by women with sensitive or under-calibrated nervous systems, is how men express their emotions.
Men often discharge emotional energy through vocal and physical expression: yelling, speaking loudly, pacing, or making intense gestures. This isn't always, nor even usually, a sign of anger or aggression. Often it's simply how men process energy. Just as women cry to release emotion, men roar or shout to do the same. It’s not about control or threat. It’s about clearing the system.
The problem arises when a woman’s nervous system, already overloaded or poorly calibrated, perceives this masculine energy as danger. She may not distinguish between a man venting versus a man preparing to attack. And so even when the man is not directing his intensity at her, she responds as if her life is in danger. This is terrifying for her, and deeply invalidating for him.
That mismatch creates an emotional double standard. Society defends a woman’s right to cry, break down, and show emotional vulnerability, but often punishes men for expressing their emotions in loud, physical, or masculine ways, even when those expressions are non-threatening.
Telling a man he can’t raise his voice, speak with passion, or express raw emotion is just as harmful as telling a woman she can’t cry. It pathologizes his nature. And it disconnects him not only from his wife, but from other men, who rely on such expressions to assess trust and authenticity.
The most masculine men, the leaders, the fighters, the providers, tend to be the most expressive. They’re loud, boisterous, and full of life. And their energy isn’t just tolerated by other men, it’s respected. It’s how they signal alignment, honesty, and presence.
If you want to live with men, especially high-agency ones, you must train your nervous system to distinguish between male emotion and male threat. Just as a mature man learns not to interpret well meaning female tears as manipulation or danger, a mature woman must learn not to read male intensity as violence.
Trying to suppress male emotional expression doesn’t make the world safer. It just alienates the man, and makes it impossible to share a home, a marriage, or a life without fear.
Advice for Women
If you're a woman reading this and recognizing yourself in the descriptions above, the good news is that your needs are real and valid, but also more specialized. You're not broken, and you're not crazy. What you're dealing with is a miscalibration in your central nervous system, a mismatch between what it was exposed to growing up and what it's expected to handle now.
The good news is that, like physical training for an athletic event, your nervous system can be trained, too. You wouldn't expect to run a marathon without building up to it. Similarly, you can gradually increase your tolerance, flexibility, and capacity for stimulation and connection. Once you do, you’ll experience life, and relationships, in a much more joyful and manageable way.
And don’t expect this kind of advice from a doctor. Most of the medical and psychiatric systems aren’t trained to recognize these patterns as developmental calibration issues. They'll either dismiss it, medicalize it, or label it with something that doesn't give you tools. This is not a disease. It’s not a disorder. It’s a systems mismatch that can be recalibrated.
Here are some actionable steps you can take to begin recalibrating your nervous system:
-
Get off screens and reduce electronic stimulation. Prioritize presence over distraction.
-
Replace social media with real, in-person social contact, eye contact, voice, touch.
-
Go outdoors. Natural environments offer complex, low-stress sensory input that recalibrates the nervous system.
-
Reintroduce physical sensation through safe, voluntary contact, massage, swimming, dancing.
-
Practice slow, predictable engagement. Routine doesn't mean sterile, it means safe repetition that expands capacity.
-
Track what types of sensory or emotional input feel safe, tolerable, and enjoyable.
-
Start incorporating nervous system-reset techniques like deep breathing (such as box breathing or 4-7-8 breathing) to calm your body’s baseline.
-
Dry brushing can help desensitize the skin and improve sensory regulation over time.
-
Replace harsh, flickering LED lights with high-quality, full-spectrum bulbs that don’t pulse, your brain tracks that flicker even when your eyes don’t.
-
Make sure you’re sleeping enough; your nervous system needs recovery time as you recalibrate.
-
Write down emotional states when you experience them and review patterns.
-
Try scheduled intimacy, emotional or physical, so that it’s predictable and safe.
-
Be open with your husband about what does and doesn’t work for you without assuming failure or intent.
-
Consider a formal assessment for autism or sensory processing disorder; even if you don’t pursue diagnosis, the process itself can provide insight.
These are not just hacks, they’re physical, repeatable ways to build the capacity you’re missing.
Restoring Connection
Restoring that connection doesn’t mean becoming someone else, it means engineering your relationship and daily life around your real constraints, instead of fighting them. That’s how you get your needs met without burning down the trust and love already built.
So yes, balance is critical, but so is knowing when the system itself is misaligned and adapting accordingly. And it’s worth it. You can restore the kind of intimacy and love that both of you crave in your marriage. Don’t give up. Try everything. Work on it together. If you want help, this is what I do. I walk people through this process. I help them grow, not just emotionally, but neurologically. I help remove the emotional blocks that prevent people from doing the things we’ve described here.
If you don’t work with me, make sure you work with someone. Or work through it intentionally on your own. Life’s too short to live miserable, especially in your marriage. Don’t miss out on the depth of love and intimacy that’s possible. You can get there. And it’s worth the work.

@ b1ddb4d7:471244e7
2025-06-05 10:00:43Starting January 1, 2026, the United Kingdom will impose some of the world’s most stringent reporting requirements on cryptocurrency firms.
All platforms operating in or serving UK customers-domestic and foreign alike-must collect and disclose extensive personal and transactional data for every user, including individuals, companies, trusts, and charities.
This regulatory drive marks the UK’s formal adoption of the OECD’s Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), a global initiative designed to bring crypto oversight in line with traditional banking and to curb tax evasion in the rapidly expanding digital asset sector.
What Will Be Reported?
Crypto firms must gather and submit the following for each transaction:
- User’s full legal name, home address, and taxpayer identification number
- Detailed data on every trade or transfer: type of cryptocurrency, amount, and nature of the transaction
- Identifying information for corporate, trust, and charitable clients
The obligation extends to all digital asset activities, including crypto-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat trades, and applies to both UK residents and non-residents using UK-based platforms. The first annual reports covering 2026 activity are due by May 31, 2027.
Enforcement and Penalties
Non-compliance will carry stiff financial penalties, with fines of up to £300 per user account for inaccurate or missing data-a potentially enormous liability for large exchanges. The UK government has urged crypto firms to begin collecting this information immediately to ensure operational readiness.
Regulatory Context and Market Impact
This move is part of a broader UK strategy to position itself as a global fintech hub while clamping down on fraud and illicit finance. UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves has championed these measures, stating, “Britain is open for business – but closed to fraud, abuse, and instability”. The regulatory expansion comes amid a surge in crypto adoption: the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority reported that 12% of UK adults owned crypto in 2024, up from just 4% in 2021.
Enormous Risks for Consumers: Lessons from the Coinbase Data Breach
While the new framework aims to enhance transparency and protect consumers, it also dramatically increases the volume of sensitive personal data held by crypto firms-raising the stakes for cybersecurity.
The risks are underscored by the recent high-profile breach at Coinbase, one of the world’s largest exchanges.
In May 2025, Coinbase disclosed that cybercriminals, aided by bribed offshore contractors, accessed and exfiltrated customer data including names, addresses, government IDs, and partial bank details.
The attackers then used this information for sophisticated phishing campaigns, successfully deceiving some customers into surrendering account credentials and funds.
“While private encryption keys remained secure, sufficient customer information was exposed to enable sophisticated phishing attacks by criminals posing as Coinbase personnel.”
Coinbase now faces up to $400 million in compensation costs and has pledged to reimburse affected users, but the incident highlights the systemic vulnerability created when large troves of personal data are centralized-even if passwords and private keys are not directly compromised. The breach also triggered a notable drop in Coinbase’s share price and prompted a $20 million bounty for information leading to the attackers’ capture.
The Bottom Line
The UK’s forthcoming crypto reporting regime represents a landmark in financial regulation, promising greater transparency and tax compliance. However, as the Coinbase episode demonstrates, the aggregation of sensitive user data at scale poses a significant cybersecurity risk.
As regulators push for more oversight, the challenge will be ensuring that consumer protection does not become a double-edged sword-exposing users to new threats even as it seeks to shield them from old ones.

2025-06-05 17:14:50The silent revolution: Ethereum's pivot to 'digital oil' could redefine crypto's future. While Bitcoin grabs headlines as digital gold, Ethereum is quietly transforming into something potentially more valuable—the essential infrastructure powering our digital economy. Ryan Berckmans reveals Ethereum's strategic shift from being just another cryptocurrency to becoming the foundation for stablecoins, tokenized assets, and global financial systems. With $480 billion in stablecoin volume and institutional players entering the space, Ethereum isn't just competing with Bitcoin—it's creating an entirely different value proposition. The question isn't whether ETH will hit $3K, but whether we're underestimating its long-term potential as the backbone of digital finance. Are you positioning yourself for the real crypto revolution happening right under our noses?

2025-06-06 08:01:54The crypto platform had been aware of the data breach for months before the official announcement, internal sources reveal.
A Reuters investigation uncovered that Coinbase had been informed as early as January 2025 about a data breach involving outsourced customer support agents in India. Six sources familiar with the matter confirmed that the exchange knew sensitive user information had been compromised through its contractor, TaskUs, months before the formal disclosure in May.
On May 14, in a filing with the SEC, TaskUs documented part of the breach, in which an employee at its Indian office was caught photographing his work computer screen with a personal phone. Five former TaskUs workers confirmed that this employee and an alleged accomplice had been bribed by hackers to obtain Coinbase user data.
Coinbase had a long-standing partnership with TaskUs, a Texas-based outsourcing company, to reduce labor costs by assigning customer support functions to offshore teams. Since 2017, TaskUs agents handled Coinbase customer inquiries, often from lower-wage countries like India, where employees earned between $500 and $700 per month.
The financial impact of the breach
The exchange estimated that the breach could cost the company up to $400 million. In its May filing, Coinbase admitted it hadn’t fully grasped the extent of the attack until May 11, when it received a $20 million extortion demand. In response, the company terminated the TaskUs employees responsible for the breach, along with several other unnamed foreign contractors.
The post Coinbase data breach: the exchange knew about the theft since January appeared first on Atlas21.

2025-06-05 17:11:03The $220 million crypto heist that took just minutes reveals a fatal flaw in DeFi security. While blockchain tech promises trustless transactions, the Cetus DEX exploit on Sui exposed how a single undetected bug in a math library became catastrophic. What's truly alarming isn't the hack itself but the revelation from Curve's founder that professional hackers-for-hire are now coordinating sophisticated cross-platform attacks. This signals a dangerous evolution in crypto threats where vulnerabilities aren't just discovered—they're hunted by organized teams with specialized skills. The industry faces a stark choice: invest aggressively in preventative security or watch as billions more vanish in seconds. Is your crypto truly safe, or just waiting for the right hacker to find its weakness?

2025-06-05 17:00:01Forget Lambos, think real estate tokens.
A European fund just dropped $3.4 million on tokenized real estate, marking the first time big money directly bought retail available tokens. This isn't just about crypto hype; it's about institutions embracing regulated crypto assets. Real World Assets (RWAs) are booming, up 260% this year, fueled by clearer US crypto rules. This surge pushes the tokenization sector past $23 billion.
Is this the start of crypto's mainstream moment?

2025-06-05 08:46:54Être « de gauche » ?
Essai pour une (re)définition transversale des concepts « gauche » et « droite »
Introduction
Il y a toujours deux niveaux. Le premier est celui sur lequel on s’appuie quand on se dit « de gauche » : c’est le niveau du discours, des bonnes intentions, des objectifs ou des revendications bien rationnelles, des belles valeurs, des symboles, des vérités chéries, etc. Puis il y a l’autre niveau, moins conscient, voire inconscient, qui fait que l’on va finir par réagir d’une certaine manière, parfois, souvent, en contradiction avec le premier niveau. Ce n’est pas, par exemple, parce qu’on n’aime pas la jalousie ou le pouvoir qu’on ne va pas se sentir jalouses ou qu’on ne va pas, parfois, prendre du plaisir dans certaines dynamiques de pouvoir. Combien de fois nous sommes-nous retrouvées frustrées de voir à quel point la réalité de nos actions se déroule en totale contradiction avec nos intentions ? Et ce, dans tous les domaines de la vie : intime, amoureuse, amicale, professionnelle, militante, etc. C’est-à-dire que nous pouvons être très « de gauche » au niveau des intentions, mais réactionnaires, voire fascistes, au niveau des pratiques. C’est donc ce deuxième niveau, dominé non pas par la raison, les concepts, les manifestes ou les bonnes intentions, mais par le monde inconscient, ses flux et ses mécanismes, auquel nous allons nous intéresser, car c’est bien là que la question se joue. Nous proposons donc un ensemble de prismes (Δ), sans aucune prétention totalisante, pour contribuer à une (ré)définition collective des concepts de gauche et de droite.
1er prisme Δ
Sensibilités et compétences
S e n s i b i l i t é :
propriété / aptitude d’une matière, d’un organe, d’un corps à réagir aux stimuli externes ou internes.
Le mot sensibilité vient de sens. Les sens captent. On peut réagir seulement aux stimuli/informations que l’on capte – inutile de forcer un aveugle à voir, un sourd à entendre. Les yeux captent la lumière, les tympans captent des ondes/vibrations. Or, il ne suffit pas d’avoir de bons yeux et de bonnes oreilles pour capter, par exemple, l’injustice dans notre entourage. Il nous faut quelque chose de plus. Quelque chose d’autre que nos sens physiologiques est à l’œuvre dans nos esprits lorsqu’on capte une injustice. Comme s’il y avait un autre type de sens. Si les sens physiologiques captent les informations physiques (lumière, vibration, température, distance, etc.), cet autre type de sens capte les informations sociales (quelle est ma place dans la meute, quand est-ce mon tour de manger, quel territoire m’est attribué ? etc.). Si, pour les sens physiologiques, des récepteurs chimiques et des terminaisons nerveuses sont à l’œuvre, pour cet autre type de sens, il s’agit plutôt de programmes, de « logiciels », un peu comme les applications de nos téléphones portables ou de nos ordinateurs. Il y a donc des « logiciels » qui nous permettent de capter les injustices, les violences, les oppressions, les signes de souffrance, de maladie, de dépression, de névrose ou de psychose, etc. Inutile de forcer un aveugle à voir, inutile de forcer quelqu’un qui n’aurait pas les bons logiciels à capter une injustice, une violence, une oppression. Il ne s’agit donc pas de vouloir ou de décider de capter ces situations ou ces phénomènes sociaux, il s’agit d’avoir, de cultiver les « bons logiciels ». Voilà donc ce à quoi nous nous référons quand on parle de sensibilités. Être de gauche donc, selon ce prisme, n’est pas tellement une décision, un vouloir ou une sorte d’identité autoproclamée que l’on pourrait rajouter facilement dans nos CV, afficher sur nos réseaux sociaux ou sur nos applis de rencontre, montrer avec nos t-shirts du Che Guevara, avec nos chants anarchistes ou nos quelques actions, non, non, non. Être de gauche = être sensible. Multi-sensible, pluri-sensible. Mais sensible à quoi ? À une diversité de phénomènes concernant le mental, le social et l’environnemental – et spécialement à leur intrication. Être de gauche implique donc avoir cultivé dans nos esprits une multiplicité de sensibilités : des sensibilités psychologiques, sociologiques, anthropologiques, écologiques… De ce point de vue, être de gauche n’est pas un discours, une mode, une décision, une envie, c’est du travail ! Car cette multiplicité de sensibilités, nous ne la cultivons pas par défaut socialement, culturellement – la société industrielle, capitaliste qui nous a façonnés, n’a surtout pas besoin d’esprits pluri-sensibles. Nous sommes obligés donc, si nous voulons cultiver ces sensibilités, de nager à contre-courant, de lutter contre le cadrage et la parcellisation propres à nos sociétés modernes, consistant à produire de petits soldats, de petits robots, de petites machines spécialisées, chacune dans son champ spécifique, et ce pour servir à qui ? Surtout pas à nous-mêmes, que ce soit individuellement ou collectivement. Nous voyons bien que ce n’est pas une mince affaire d’« être de gauche ». Quelque part, personne n’est de gauche, puisque personne n’est en mesure, prenant en compte la façon dont notre culture produit des sujets, d’avoir tout cet éventail de sensibilités. Pour mieux nuancer la question, nous sommes obligés de laisser de côté les lunettes de l’être, car elles nous contraignent à aborder le sujet de façon binaire : être ou ne pas être, soit tu es de gauche, soit tu ne l’es pas. On voit très bien que nous pouvons être sensibles par rapport à un sujet, à une situation ou à un domaine spécifique et, en même temps, très insensibles par rapport à d’autres sujets, situations ou domaines. Oui, cela veut dire que nous sommes de gauche et aussi, en même temps, de droite (insensibles) selon les endroits que l’on observe en nous, dans diverses situations et contextes. Il ne suffit pas d’« être marxistes » ou d’« être anarchistes » pour ne pas devenir des grands ou des petits tyrans, des grands ou des petits colons, des sexistes, des racistes, des oppresseurs des minorités, des validistes, des violents, des agresseurs, que ce soit au niveau collectif ou sur un niveau plus personnel, plus intime. De droite et de gauche, en même temps ? Quelle idée ! C’est que « être de gauche » est une expression trop rigide. Il convient donc d’analyser la question en termes de devenir : si l’être est un état donné, une pierre, le devenir représente toujours le mouvement, le fleuve et ses tourbillons. Nous serions très prétentieux, très arrogants ou très naïfs, si nous disions que nous sommes de gauche. En revanche, nous pouvons dire sans aucune prétention que nous sommes dans un devenir de gauche, dans la mesure où l’on cultive les sensibilités diverses. Nous avons dit qu’être de gauche veut dire être multi-sensible ; que nous ne pouvons pas vraiment être de gauche, car malgré le fait que l’on soit sensibles à certains sujets ou situations, nous sommes forcément insensibles par rapport à d’autres sujets et à d’autres situations, car victimes de l’industrie et de son culte des œillères ; que nous sommes en même temps de gauche et de droite, selon les endroits que l’on observe en nous dans une situation donnée, dans un contexte donné ; que le prisme du devenir est plus adapté que les lunettes de l’être, et qu’au lieu de dire « je suis de gauche », il est plus précis de dire « je suis dans un devenir ‘de gauche’ ».
Compétences ?
Nous avons, jusqu’à maintenant, abordé la question de la gauche en ce qui concerne les sensibilités, c’est-à-dire la captation des signes ou des informations concernant le mental, le social et l’environnemental. Mais suffit-il d’être sensible, même multi-sensible ? Combien de fois avons-nous capté des injustices, des conflits et toutes sortes de problèmes par rapport auxquels nous n’avons rien pu faire ? Nous pouvons être très sensibles et en même temps nous sentir très impuissants. Il y a donc deux choses qui seraient précieuses pour la gauche selon ce prisme : la captation et l’action, les sensibilités et les pratiques. Pour faire ou pratiquer, il faut pouvoir faire, être capable, compétent. Faire un bon discours, gérer un conflit, établir des relations de façon saine, produire autrement, consommer autrement, gérer la propriété autrement, apprendre à prendre soin et à nous soigner, apprendre à soutenir des personnes, déconstruire nos vieux logiciels, expérimenter et trouver les modes d’organisation les plus adaptés, articuler les différents terrains d’action politique (macro, micro et infra-personnel), devenir souples et ouverts au monde, à l’altérité, etc. Tout cela requiert à la fois des sensibilités et des compétences très concrètes, précisément celles que la société néglige, que notre culture ne cultive pas. Dans la gauche au sens traditionnel, y compris ladite « extrême gauche » ou « gauche radicale », prenons-nous au sérieux cette question ? Sommes-nous en train de cultiver cette multiplicité de sensibilités et de compétences ?
Et la droite, c’est quoi ?
Nous avions jusqu’à maintenant utilisé ce prisme pour définir la gauche comme sensible, comme multi-sensible. Comment faire alors sens de la droite ? Est-ce l’insensibilité qui la définit ? Les personnes plus à droite sont-elles insensibles ? Nous avions défini la sensibilité comme une sorte de logiciel nous permettant de capter et de réagir à un stimulus, à une information, à une situation donnée. L’acte raciste, classiste, sexiste, n’est-il pas nécessairement la conséquence d’un type de sensibilité, selon notre définition ? Sensibilité par rapport à l’« invasion » de la part des étrangers, au « grand remplacement », aux « déviances » sexuelles ou de genre, à l’« hystérie » des femmes, à l’« insolence » des travailleurs, etc. Nous pourrions dire que la droite est aussi sensible, et même multi-sensible ! Ce constat fait-il effondrer notre propos ? Ou est-ce qu’il y aurait des « bonnes » et des « mauvaises » sensibilités ? Les sensibilités, expliquent-elles vraiment le clivage gauche-droite ? Nous considérons qu’au contraire, notre propos tient très bien. Pour nous, la droite s’explique en termes d’insensibilité et aussi en termes de sensibilité. D’abord d’insensibilité, car la droite est insensible à une diversité de phénomènes, à un ensemble d’injustices, de violences et d’oppressions, et en même temps, elle se définit par un ensemble de sensibilités que nous pourrions qualifier d’inadaptées. Il y aurait donc des sensibilités adaptées et des sensibilités inadaptées selon la situation, selon le contexte. Mais adaptées ou inadaptées selon quels critères, selon quelle science ou quelle philosophie ? Qualifier une sensibilité, un logiciel d’inadapté, n’est-il pas trancher de façon complètement arbitraire dans l’amoralité du cosmos ? Ce problème philosophique n’est pas facile à résoudre sans invoquer une justice divine, un évangile religieux ou un évangile militant. Or, il y a une chose, pour nous la seule, qui tranche la question malgré nous, en dépit de nous, au-delà de nous, en deçà de nous, autour de nous, à travers nous. C’est la vie elle-même, ou plus précisément l’écologie. Tout système « vivant », y compris les rapports sociaux, obéit à des « principes » écologiques : si on ne boit pas assez d’eau, on finit par mourir ; si nous refoulons des émotions, des pulsions vitales, nous serons condamnés à être névrosés, malades ; si nous colonisons un peuple et si, lorsque ce peuple se défend, nous le réprimons violemment, une partie de ce peuple cherchera à se défendre d’une façon plus violente, et si notre réponse à une telle « radicalisation » est de fusiller ou de bombarder les « radicaux », les « terroristes », alors au lieu de diminuer la « menace terroriste » qui nous fait peur, nous sommes en train de la nourrir, le paradoxe étant que c’est nous, avec le premier acte de colonisation, qui l’avons provoquée. Ces trois exemples représentent des réalités, des déterminations écologiques qui n’ont rien à voir avec nos croyances, nos valeurs, nos idéologies, nos symboles. Nous pouvons identifier de mieux en mieux quand un écosystème comme une forêt est perturbé, troublé, malade ou menacé de mort. C’est l’interrelation de fonctions en équilibre(s) qui fait forêt. Tout ce qui perturbe, trouble ou menace ces équilibres est considéré comme toxique, comme nocif, comme maladif. Cela semble évident pour la forêt, or nous devons souligner que l’esprit humain ainsi que les sociétés humaines obéissent aux mêmes types de déterminations écologiques. Ces déterminations sont elles-mêmes déterminées par la singularité de chaque écosystème : il y a des forêts qui ont moins besoin d’eau, de chaleur et de lumière que d’autres, c’est d’ailleurs ce qui différencie la forêt de la jungle. Et il y a aussi des déterminations qui s’appliquent dans toute forêt, dans toute jungle : si les bactéries qui captent l’azote de l’air (N≡N – non assimilable) et qui le fixent dans le sol sous forme d’ammoniac, nitrites et nitrates (·NH3, ·NO2, ·NO3 - assimilables) disparaissent, alors n’importe quelle forêt ou jungle serait condamnée à une mort subite/rapide, car ces bactéries représentent la source d’azote pour la quasi-totalité des êtres vivants, l’azote faisant partie essentielle de l’ADN, leur absence serait fatale – pas d’azote assimilable, pas de vie. Nous considérons que ce sont ces déterminations, générales et singulières, dans chaque registre écologique et dans leur intrication – mental, social et environnemental – qui détermineront les sensibilités adaptées ou inadaptées dans un moment, une situation, un contexte, un territoire donné. Nous pouvons dire alors que les sensibilités de la gauche, ce sont des sensibilités seulement par rapport aux / concernant les trois registres écologiques dans leur intrication, tandis que la droite est précisément insensible aux rapports écologiques, à l’écologie dans ce sens large, et sensible ou hyper-sensible par rapport à ce qui fait inconsciemment peur, à ce qui menace leurs territoires existentiels, et plus précisément leurs points d’accrochage (deuxième Δ), autour desquels ces territoires ont été constitués / formés.
Gauche = sensibilités et compétences qui œuvrent dans le sens écologique – Écosophique : articulation transversale de trois registres écologiques – mental, social et environnemental.
Droite = sensibilités et compétences qui œuvrent dans un sens non-écologique, anti-écologique, écocide.

2025-06-05 16:54:43Think your crypto is FDIC insured like your bank account? Big mistake. Crypto's wild west demands you be your own bank and security guard.
Crypto trading involves buying, selling, and exchanging digital currencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, aiming to profit from price fluctuations. Security is paramount. Understand basic concepts like wallets (digital storage for your crypto), private keys (passwords to access your crypto), and blockchain (the technology that records all transactions).
Real world applications include using crypto for online purchases, international money transfers, and decentralized finance (DeFi) services like lending and borrowing. Current trends include the rise of DeFi, NFTs (non-fungible tokens), and increasing institutional investment.
Best practices? Use strong, unique passwords, enable two factor authentication (2FA) on all accounts, and store most of your crypto in cold wallets (offline storage) to protect against hacking. Be wary of phishing scams and fake websites. Never share your private keys or seed phrases.
Misconceptions? Crypto is not anonymous, transactions are not easily reversible, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Also, remember that regulations are evolving, so stay informed.
With crypto hacks on the rise, are you truly ready to secure your digital fortune, or are you leaving the door open for the next billion dollar heist?

2025-06-06 06:01:16The Russian banking giant introduces financial instruments linked to Bitcoin for qualified investors.
Russia’s largest commercial banking institution, Sber, has made its entry into the Bitcoin space by unveiling a bond product tied to the asset.
Sber has officially launched its structured financial instrument that mirrors the price performance of Bitcoin alongside fluctuations in the dollar-ruble exchange rate. The product is already available to qualified investors through the over-the-counter (OTC) market, with plans to list it on the Moscow Exchange in the near future.
Formerly known as Sberbank, the institution stated in a May 30 announcement that the listing would provide transparency, liquidity, and convenience for a wide range of professional investors. This structured approach will allow investors to benefit both from Bitcoin’s appreciation in dollars and from the strengthening of the US dollar against the Russian ruble, the bank suggests.
The lender also announced plans to expand its crypto offering through the SberInvestments platform, introducing exchange-traded products that provide exposure to digital assets. The first product will be a Bitcoin futures instrument, scheduled for listing on June 4, coinciding with its official launch by the Moscow Exchange.
Sber’s initiative follows the authorization granted by Russia’s Central Bank on May 28, which permitted financial institutions to offer specific crypto-related financial instruments to accredited investors. However, the direct offering of cryptocurrencies remains prohibited.
Meanwhile, T-Bank (formerly Tinkoff Bank) launched an investment product linked to Bitcoin’s price, branding it a “smart asset” issued through Russia’s state-backed tokenization platform Atomyze.
According to the Russian Central Bank’s report for the first quarter of 2025, Russian residents hold approximately 827 billion rubles ($9.2 billion) in cryptocurrencies on centralized exchanges. Inflows into Russian crypto platforms surged by 51%, reaching 7.3 trillion rubles ($81.5 billion) over the same period.

2025-06-05 16:50:08Think crypto is just magic internet money? Think again.
Tokenomics is the secret sauce that makes or breaks a crypto project. It is the study of how tokens are created, distributed, and used within a blockchain ecosystem. Imagine it as the economic policy of a digital nation, dictating everything from supply and demand to user incentives.
Key features include supply caps, distribution models, utility, and burn mechanisms. A well designed token economy incentivizes user behavior, secures the network, and fosters long term growth. Poor tokenomics? It can lead to manipulation and project failure.
Zero Knowledge Proofs are like showing you know a password without revealing the password itself. This tech allows for private and secure transactions, verifying data without exposing the data itself. Think of voting systems where your vote stays secret, or supply chains where product details are confirmed without revealing the supplier.
Want to dive deeper into the economics of crypto? What project has the most interesting tokenomics you have seen?

2025-06-05 07:01:35Vice President JD Vance spoke to a packed crowd at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference in Las Vegas.
He said that the Biden era of digital assets crackdown is over, and the Trump administration is all in on Bitcoin, stablecoins and blockchain.
In an inspiring speech on May 28, JD Vance said:
“This isn’t a gathering of people—it’s a movement. And I’m proud to stand with you today.”
The annual Bitcoin Conference, one of the biggest events in the Bitcoin world, drew thousands of investors, industry leaders and policymakers.
Vance’s speech was the main event and made it clear that digital assets are now a priority for the White House.
JD Vance at Bitcoin 2025 — CNBC
Vance outlined three main goals for the administration’s digital asset policy:
- End anti-digital-asset regulations
- Pass stablecoin legislation through the GENIUS Act
- Create clear and friendly rules for the Bitcoin industry
He blamed past regulations for holding back innovation and said that era is over.
“Under the guise of ‘consumer protection,’ Gary Gensler attacked every attempt to democratize finance,” Vance said. “That ends now.”
Gensler stepped down in January and Trump has since appointed Paul Atkins to lead the agency with a more Bitcoin-friendly approach.
“Maybe the most important thing that we did for this community, we reject regulators and we fired Gary Gensler,” Vance added. “And we’re going to fire everybody like him.”
Much of Vance’s speech at Bitcoin 2025 focused on stablecoins – digital assets tied to the U.S. dollar. He called them a tool to grow the economy, not a threat.
“Let me be emphatic—this administration does not think that stablecoins threaten the integrity of the United States dollar. Quite the opposite. We view them as a force multiplier of our economic might,” he said.
The GENIUS Act, recently passed in the House, would regulate stablecoins by setting reserve requirements and transparency.
According to Vance, it would bring stablecoin activity back to the U.S. while protecting consumers.
JD Vance said millions of Americans already own bitcoin and that number will double soon.
“I believe it’s 50 million Americans own bitcoin, and I believe that’s going to be 100 million before too long,” he said.
He also talked about his personal history with Bitcoin.
“The first time I’d ever enter politics, back in 2022 … one of the frustrations I had with the crypto community … was [being] one of the only people running for office who actually owned bitcoin,” he said.
“and I still own a fair amount of bitcoin today.”
He celebrated bitcoin’s recent price surge and thanked companies like Coinbase for organizing the conference.
He thanked Bitcoin advocates like David Bailey and the Winklevoss twins for their support during the 2024 Trump campaign.
One of the best lines of the speech was when JD Vance declared an end to what the Bitcoin community has called “Operation Chokepoint 2.0”.
It’s a term used to describe what many saw as government efforts to cut off Bitcoin companies from banking services.
“Operation Chokepoint 2.0 is dead, and it’s not coming back under the Trump administration,” he said.
He framed the battle over Bitcoin adoption as not just about finance but also about civil liberties.
“Crypto is a hedge—against bad policymaking, against inflation, and against discrimination,” he said.
He referenced Canadian truckers and “debanking” incidents in the U.S. as examples of how digital assets can protect from government and corporate overreach.
The Vice President warned that regulatory clarity is needed now, or else, the $3 trillion digital asset industry will move overseas.
“If we fail to create regulatory clarity now, we risk chasing this $3 trillion industry offshore in search of a friendlier jurisdiction,” he said. “President Trump is going to fight to make sure that does not happen.”
He ended with a call to action for the Bitcoin community to stay involved in politics.
“If you don’t get involved in politics, politics will ignore you,” he said. “Let’s not wake up 10 years from now in a poorer, weaker country because we made bad decisions today.”
Vance’s speech at Bitcoin 2025 was a big moment of alignment between the United States government and the Bitcoin industry.
With new laws, friendlier regulators and the White House on board, it’s clear that Bitcoin is now on the national agenda.
As he said: “Crypto finally has a champion and an ally in the White House.”

2025-06-05 06:29:45Just calling it Open is not enough - Herausforderungen öffentlicher Bildungsinfrastrukturen und wie Nostr helfen könnte
Ich möchte gerne mit euch teilen, an welchen Konzepten ich arbeite, um die öffentliche Bildungsinfrastruktur mit Hilfe von Nostr zugänglicher und offener zu gestalten. Ich arbeite im Bereich öffentlicher Bildungsinfrastrukturen, besonders im Feld von Open Educational Resources (#OER). OER sind offen lizenzierte Bildungsmaterialien, die mit einer offenen Lizenz, meist einer Creative Commons Lizenz, versehen sind (CC-0, CC-BY, CC-BY-SA). Durch die klare und offene Lizenzierung ist es leicht möglich, die Lernmaterialien auf die individuellen Bedarfe anzupassen, sie zu verbessern und sie erneut zu veröffentlichen.
Seit vielen Jahren wird einerseits die Entwicklung freier Bildungsmaterialien gefördert, andererseits werden Plattformen, insbesondere Repositorien gefördert, die diese Materialien verfügbar machen sollen. Denn irgendwo müssen diese Materialien zur Verfügung gestellt werden, damit sie auch gefunden werden können.
Das klappt allerdings nur so mittelgut.
Herausforderungen
Nach vielen Jahren Förderung kann die einfache Frage: "Wo kann ich denn mein OER-Material bereitstellen" nicht einfach beantwortet werden. Es gibt Services, bei denen ich mein OER hochladen kann, jedoch bleibt es dann eingeschlossen in dieser Plattform und wird nicht auf anderen Plattformen auffindbar. Außerdem sind diese Services häufig an bestimmte Bildungskontexte gebunden oder geben Content erst nach einer Qualitätsprüfung frei. Dies führt dazu, dass ein einfaches und gleichzeitig öffentliches Teilen nicht möglich ist.
Diese und weitere Herausforderungen haben ihren Ursprung darin, dass Service und Infrastruktur in der Architektur öffentlichen Bildungsarchitektur ungünstig vermischt werden. Als Infrastruktur verstehe ich hier die Bereitstellung einer öffentlichen und offen zugänglichen Bildungsinfrastruktur, auf der Daten ausgetauscht, also bereitgestellt und konsumiert werden können. Jedoch existiert eine solche Infrstruktur momentan nicht unabhängig von den Services, die auf ihr betrieben werden. Infrastrukturbetreiber sind momentan gleichzeitig immer Servicebetreiber. Da sie aber die Hand darüber haben wollen, was genau in ihrem Service passiert (verständlich), schränken sie den Zugang zu ihrer Infrastruktur mit ein, was dazu führt, dass sie Lock-In Mechanismen großer Medienplattformen in der kleinen öffentlichen Bildungsinfrastruktur replizieren.
Es ist in etwas so, als würde jeder Autobauer auch gleichzeitig die Straßen für seine Fahrzeuge bauen. Aber halt nur für seine Autos.
Anhand einiger beispielhafter Services, die bestehende Plattformen auf ihren Infrastrukturen anbieten, möchte ich die Herausforderungen aufzeigen, die ich im aktuellen Architekturkonzept sehe:
- Upload von Bildungsmaterial
- Kuration: Zusammenstellung von Listen, Annotation mit Metadaten
- Crawling, Indexierung und Suche
- Plattfformübergreifende Kollaboration in Communities -> Beispiel: Qualitätssicherung (was auch immer das genau bedeutet)
- KI- Services -> Beispiel: KI generierte Metadaten für BiIdungsmaterial
Material Upload
Der Service "Material-Upload" oder das Mitteilen eines Links zu einem Bildungsmaterial wird von verschiedenen OER-Pattformen bereitgestellt (wirlernenonline.de, oersi.org, mundo.schule).
Dies bedeutet konkret: Wenn ich bei einer der Plattformen Content hochlade, verbleibt der Content in der Regel auch dort und wird nicht mit den anderen Plattformen geteilt. Das Resultat für die User: Entweder muss ich mich überall anmelden und dort mein Material hochladen (führt zu Duplikaten) oder damit leben, dass eben nur die Nutzer:innen der jeweiligen Plattform meinen Content finden können.
Der "Open Educational Resource Search Index" (OERSI) geht diese Herausforderung an, indem die Metadaten zu den Bildungsmaterialien verschiedener Plattformen in einem Index bereitgestellt werden. Dieser Index ist wiederum öffentlich zugänglich, sodass Plattformen darüber auch Metadaten anderer Plattformen konsumieren können. Das ist schon sehr gut. Jedoch funktioniert das nur für Plattformen, die der OERSI indexiert und für alle anderen nicht. Der OERSI ist auf den Hochschulbereich fokussiert, d.h. andere Bildungskontexte werden hier ausgeschlossen. Der Ansatz für jeden Bildungsbereich einen passenden "OERSI" daneben zustellen skaliert und schlecht und es bleibt die Herausforderung bestehen, dass für jede Quelle, die indexiert werden soll, ein entsprechender Importer/Crawler geschrieben werden muss.
Dieser Ansatz (Pull-Ansatz) rennt den Materialien hinterher.
Es gibt jedoch noch mehr Einschränkungen: Die Plattformen haben sich jeweils auf spezifische Bildungskontexte spezialisiert. D.h. auf die Fragen: Wo kann ich denn mein OER bereitstellen, muss immer erst die Gegenfrage: "Für welchen Bildungsbereich denn?" beantwortet werden. Wenn dieser außerhalb des allgemeinbildendenden Bereichs oder außerhalb der Hochschule liegt, geschweige denn außerhalb des institutionellen Bildungsrahmens, wird es schon sehr, sehr dünn. Kurzum:
- Es ist nicht einfach möglich OER bereitzustellen, sodass es auch auf verschiedenen Plattformen gefunden werden kann.
Kuration
Unter Kuration verstehe ich hier die Zusammenstellung von Content in Listen oder Sammlungs ähnlicher Form sowie die Annotation dieser Sammlungen oder des Contents mit Metadaten.
Einige Plattformen bieten die Möglichkeit an, Content in Listen einzuordnen. Diese Listen sind jedoch nicht portabel. Die Liste, die ich auf Plattform A erstelle, lässt sich nicht auf Plattform B importieren. Das wäre aber schön, denn so könnten die Listen leichter auf anderen Plattformen erweitert oder sogar kollaborativ gestaltet werden, andererseits werden Lock-In-Effekte zu vermieden.
Bei der Annotation mit Metadaten treten verschiedene zentralisierende Faktoren auf. In der momentanen Praxis werden die Metadaten meist zum Zeitpunkt der Contentbereitstellung festgelegt. Meist durch eine Person oder Redaktion, bisweilen mit Unterstützung von KI-Services, die bei der Metadateneingabe unterstützen. Wie aber zusätzliche eigene Metadaten ergänzen? Wie mitteilen, dass dieses Material nicht nur für Biologie, sondern auch für Sport in Thema XY super einsetzbar wäre? Die momentanen Ansätze können diese Anforderung nicht erfüllen. Sie nutzen die Kompetenz und das Potential ihrer User nicht.
- Es gibt keine interoperablen Sammlungen
- Metadaten-Annotation ist zentralisiert
- User können keine eigenen Metadaten hinzufügen
Crawling, Indexierung und Suche
Da die Nutzer:innen nicht viele verschiedene Plattformen und Webseiten besuchen wollen, um dort nach passendem Content zu suchen, crawlen die "großen" OER-Aggregatoren diese, um die Metadaten des Contents zu indexieren. Über verschiedene Schnittstellen oder gerne auch mal über das rohe HTML. Letztere Crawler sind sehr aufwändig zu schreiben, fehleranfällig und gehen bei Design-Anpassungen der Webseite schnell kaputt, erstere sind etwas stabiler, solange sich die Schnittstelle nicht ändert. Durch den Einsatz des Allgemeinen Metadatenprofils für Bildungsressourcen (AMB) hat sich die Situation etwas verbessert. Einige Plattformen bieten jetzt eine Sitemap an, die Links zu Bildungsmaterial enthalten, die wiederum eingebettet
script
-tags vom Typapplication/ld+json
enthalten, sodass die Metadaten von dort importiert werden können.Beispiel: e-teaching.org bietet hier eine Sitemap für ihre OER an: https://e-teaching.org/oer-sitemap.xml und auf den jeweiligen Seiten findet sich ein entsprechendes script-Tag.
Das ist schon viel besser, aber da geht noch mehr:
Zunächst ist dieser Ansatz nur für Plattformen und Akteure praktikabel, die über IT-Ressourcen verfügen, um entsprechende Funktionalitäten bei sich einbauen zu können. Lehrende können dies nicht einfach auf ihrem privaten Blog oder ähnliches umsetzen. Zum anderen besteht immer noch ein Discovery Problem. Ich muss nach wie vor wissen, wo ich suchen muss. Ich muss die Sitemaps kennen, sonst finde ich nichts. Statt eines Ansatzes, bei dem Akteure eigenständig mitteilen können, dass sie neuen Content haben (Push-Ansatz), verfolgen wir derzeit einen Ansatz, bei dem jede Plattform für sich Content im Pull-Verfahren akquiriert. Dies führt an vielen Stellen zu Doppelarbeiten, ist ineffizient (mehrere Personen bauen genau die gleichen Crawler, aber halt immer für ihre Plattform) und schliesst vor allem kleine Akteure aus (lohnt es sich einen Crawler zu programmieren, wenn die Webseite "nur" 50 Materialien bereitstellt?).
Anstatt erschlossene Daten zu teilen, arbeiten die Plattformen für sich oder stellen es höchstens wieder hinter eigenen (offenen oder geschlossenen) Schnittstellen bereit. Das ist wohl nicht das, was wir uns unter einer offenen und kollaborativen Gemeinschaft vorstellen, oder?
Bei der Suche stehen wir vor ähnlichen Herausforderungen, wie bereits oben geschildert. Obwohl verschiedene OER-Aggregatoren in Form von Repositorien oder Referatorien bereits viele der "kleineren" Plattformen indexieren und somit eine übergreifende Suche anbieten, ist es nicht möglich, diese Aggregatoren gemeinsam zu durchsuchen. Dies führt im Endeffekt dazu, dass die User wieder verschiedene Plattformen ansteuern müssen, wenn sie den gesamten OER-Fundus durchsuchen wollen.
- An vielen Stellen wird Content doppelt erschlossen, aber immer für die eigene Plattform
- Es gibt keinen geteilten Datenraum, in den Akteure Content "pushen" können
- Es gibt keine plattformübergreifenden Suchmöglichkeiten
Plattformübergreifende Kollaboration
Das wäre schön, oder? Mir ist schleierhaft, wie #OEP (Open Educational Practices, genaue Definition durch die Community steht noch aus) ohne funktionieren soll. Aber es gibt meines Wissens nach nicht mal Ansätze, wie das technisch umgesetzt werden soll (oder doch? let me hear).
Ein Szenario für solche plattformübergreifende Kollaboration könnte Qualitätssicherung sein. Gesetzt, dass sich zwei Plattformen / Communities auf etwas verständigt haben, dass sie als "Qualität" bezeichnen, wie aber dieses Gütesiegel nun an den Content bringen?
Plattform A: Na, dann kommt doch alle zu uns. Hier können wir das machen und dann hängt auch ein schönes Badge an den Materialien.
Plattform B: Ja, aber dann hängt es ja nicht an unseren Materialien. Außerdem wollen/müssen wir bei uns arbeiten, weil welche Existenzberechtigung hat denn meine Plattform noch, wenn wir alles bei dir machen?
- Obwohl nun #OEP in aller Munde sind, gibt es keine technischen Ansätze, wie (plattformübergreifende) Kollaboration technisch abgebildet werden kann
KI-Services
Was ist heute schon komplett ohne das Thema KI zu erwähnen? Mindestens für den nächsten Förderantrag muss auch irgendetwas mit KI gemacht werden...
Verschiedene Projekte erarbeiten hilfreiche und beeindruckende KI-Services. Beispielsweise, um die Annotation von Content mit Metadaten zu erleichtern, Metadaten automatisch hinzuzufügen, Content zu bestimmten Themen zu finden oder (halb-)automatisch zu Sammlungen hinzuzufügen. Aber (vielleicht habt ihr es schon erraten): Funktioniert halt nur auf der eigenen Plattform. Vermutlich, weil die Services nah am plattformeigenen Datenmodell entwickelt werden. Und da die Daten dieses Silo nicht verlassen, passt das schon. Das führt dazu, dass an mehreren Stellen die gleichen Services doppelt entwickelt werden.
- KI-Services funktionieren oft nur auf der Plattform für die sie entwickelt werden
Zusammenfassung der Probleme
Wir machen übrigens vieles schon sehr gut (Einsatz des AMB, Offene Bidungsmaterialien, wir haben eine großartige Community) und jetzt müssen wir halt weiter gehen.
(Die OER-Metadatengruppe, die das Allgemeine Metadatenprofil für Bildungsressourcen (AMB) entwickelt hat, bekommt für ihre Arbeit keine direkte Förderung. Gleichzeitig ist sie eine zentrale Anlaufstelle für alle, die mit Metadaten in offenen Bildungsinfrastukturen hantieren und das Metadatenprofil ist eines der wenigen Applikationsprofile, das öffentlich einsehbar, gut dokumentiert ist und Validierungsmöglichkeiten bietet.)
Betrachten wir die gesamten Plattformen und die beschriebenen Herausforderungen aus der Vogelperspektive, so lassen sich drei ineinander verschränkte Kernbestandteile unterscheiden, die helfen, die beschriebenen Probleme besser zu verstehen:
- User
- Service
- Daten
User: Auf (fast) allen Plattformen agieren User. Sie laden Material hoch, annotieren mit Metadaten, sind in einer Community, suchen Content usw. Egal, ob sie sich einloggen können/müssen, irgendetwas bieten wir unseren Usern an, damit sie daraus hoffentlich Mehrwerte ziehen
Service: Das ist dieses irgendetwas. Die "Webseite", die Oberfläche, das, wo der User klicken und etwas tun kann. Es ist das, was den Daten oft eine "visuelle" Form gibt. Der Service ist der Mittler, das Interface zwischen User und Daten. Mithilfe des Services lassen sich Daten erzeugen, verändern oder entfernen (Es gibt natürlich auch viele nicht-visuelle Services, die Interaktion mit Daten ermöglichen, aber für die meisten normalen Menschen, gibt es irgendwo was zu klicken).
Daten: Die Informationen in strukturierter maschinenlesbarer Form, die dem User in gerenderter Form durch einen Service Mehrwerte bieten können. Ungerenderte Daten können wir schwieirg erfassen (wir sind ja nicht Neo). Das können entweder die Metadaten zu Bildungmaterialien sein, die Materialien selbst, Profilinformationen, Materialsammlungen o.ä.
Meines Erachtens nach haben viele der oben beschriebenen Herausforderungen ihren Ursprung darin, dass die drei Kernbestandteile User, Service, Daten ungünstig miteinander verbunden wurden. Was kein Vorwurf sein soll, denn das ist genau die Art und Weise, wie die letzten Jahre (Jahrzehnte?) Plattformen immer gebaut wurden:
- User, Service und Daten werden in einer Plattform gebündelt
Das heisst durch meinen Service agieren die User mit den Daten und ich kann sicherstellen, dass in meiner kleinen Welt alles gut miteinander funktioniert. Sinnvoll, wenn ich Microsoft, Facebook, X oder ähnliches bin, weil mein Geschäftsmodell genau darin liegt: User einschließen (lock-in), ihnen die Hohheit über ihren Content nehmen (oder kannst du deine Facebook Posts zu X migrieren?) und nach Möglichkeit nicht wieder rauslassen.
Aber unsere Projekte sind öffentlich. Das sind nicht die Mechanismen, die wir replizieren sollten. Also was nun?
Bildungsinfrasstrukturen auf Basis des Nostr-Protokolls
Nostr
Eine pseudonyme Person mit dem Namen "fiatjaf" hat 2019 ein Konzept für ein Social Media Protokoll "Nostr - Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted By Relays" wie folgt beschrieben:
It does not rely on any trusted central server, hence it is resilient, it is based on cryptographic keys and signatures, so it is tamperproof, it does not rely on P2P techniques, therefore it works.
Fiatjaf, 2019
Die Kernbestandsteile des Protokolls bestehen aus:
- JSON -> Datenformat
- SHA256 & Schnorr -> Kryptographie
- Websocket -> Datenaustausch
Und funktionieren tut es so:
User besitzen ein "Schlüsselpaar": einen privaten Schlüssel (den behälst du für dich, nur für dich) und einen öffentlichen Schlüssel, den kannst du herumzeigen, das ist deine öffentliche Identität. Damit sagst du anderen Usern: Hier schau mal, das bin ich. Die beiden Schlüssel hängen dabei auf eine "magische" (kryptografische) Weise zusammen: Der öffentliche Schlüssel lässt sich aus dem privaten Schlüssel generieren, jedoch nicht andersherum. D.h. falls du deinen öffentlichen Schlüssel verlierst: Kein Problem, der lässt sich immer wieder herstellen. Wenn du deinen privaten Schlüssel verlierst: Pech gehabt, es ist faktisch unmöglich, diesen wieder herzustellen.
Die Schlüsselmagie geht jedoch noch weiter: Du kannst mit deinem privaten Schlüssel "Nachrichten" signieren, also wie unterschreiben. Diese Unterschrift, die du mit Hilfe des privaten Schlüssels erstellst, hat eine magische Eigenschaft: Jeder kann mithilfe der Signatur und deinem öffentlichen* Schlüssel nachprüfen, dass nur die Person, die auch den privaten Schlüssel zu diesem öffentlichen Schlüssel besitzt, diese Nachricht unterschrieben haben kann. Magisch, richtig? Verstehst du nicht komplett? Nicht schlimm, du benutzt es bereits vermutlich, ohne dass du es merkst. Das ist keine fancy neue Technologie, sondern gut abgehangen und breit im Einsatz.
Merke: User besitzen ein Schlüsselpaar und können damit Nachrichten signieren.
Dann gibt es noch die Services. Services funktionieren im Grunde wie bereits oben beschrieben. Durch sie interagieren die User mit Daten. Aber bei Nostr ist es ein kleines bisschen anders als sonst, denn: Die Daten "leben" nicht in den Services. Aber wo dann?
Wenn ein User einen Datensatz erstellt, verändert oder entfernen möchte, wird dieses "Event" (so nennen wir das bei Nostr) mit deinem privaten Schlüssel signiert (damit ist für alle klar, nur du kannst das gemacht haben) und dann mehrere "Relays" gesendet. Das sind die Orte, wo die Daten gehalten werden. Wenn ein User sich in einen Service einloggt, dann holt sich der Service die Daten, die er braucht von diesen Relays. User, Service und Daten sind also entkoppelt. Der User könnte zu einem anderen Service wechseln und sich dieseleben Daten von den Relays holen. Keine Lock-In Möglichkeiten.
Merke: User, Service und Daten sind entkoppelt.
Zuletzt gibt es noch die Relays. Relays sind Orte. Es sind die Orte, zu denen die Events, also die Daten der User, ihre Interaktionen, gesendet und von denen sie angefragt werden. Sie sind sowas wie das Backend von Nostr, allerdings tun sie nicht viel mehr als das: Events annehmen, Events verteilen. Je nach Konfiguration dürfen nur bestimmte User auf ein Relay schreiben oder davon lesen.
Das Protokoll ist von seinem Grunddesign auf Offenheit und Interoperabilität ausgelegt. Keine Registrierung ist nötig, sondern nur Schlüsselpaare. Durch kryptografische Verfahren kann dennoch die Authentizitität eines Events sichergestellt werden, da nur die Inhaberin des jeweiligen Schlüsselpaares dieses Event so erstellen konnte. Die Relays sorgen dafür die Daten an die gewünschten Stellen zu bringen und da wir mehr als nur eines benutzen, haben wir eine gewisse Ausfallsicherheit. Da die Daten nur aus signierten JSON-Schnipseln bestehen, können wir sie leicht an einen anderen Ort kopieren, im Falle eines Ausfalls. Durch die Signaturen ist wiederum sichergestellt, dass zwischendurch keine Veränderungen an den Daten vorgenommen wurden.
Beispiel: Ein Nostr Event
Hier ein kleiner technischer Exkurs, der beschreibt, wie Nostr Events strukturiert sind. Falls dich die technischen Details nicht so interessieren, überspringe diesen Abschnitt ruhig.
Jedes Nostr Event besitzt die gleiche Grundstruktur mit den Attributen:
id
: Der Hash des Eventspubkey
: Der Pubkey des Urhebers des Eventscreated_at
: Der Zeitstempel des Eventskind
: Der Typ des Eventstags
: Zusätzliche Metadaten für das Event können in diesem Array hinterlegt werdencontent
: Der textuelle Inhalt eines Eventssig
: Die Signatur des Events, um die Integrität der Daten zu überprüfen
json { "id": <32-bytes lowercase hex-encoded sha256 of the serialized event data>, "pubkey": <32-bytes lowercase hex-encoded public key of the event creator>, "created_at": <unix timestamp in seconds>, "kind": <integer between 0 and 65535>, "tags": [ [<arbitrary string>...], // ... ], "content": <arbitrary string>, "sig": <64-bytes lowercase hex of the signature of the sha256 hash of the serialized event data, which is the same as the "id" field> }
Die verwendeten Eventtypen sowie die existierenden Spezifikationen lassen sich unter https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/ einsehen.
Wichtig ist auch: Du kannst einfach anfangen, Anwendungen zu entwickeln. Die Relays werden alle Events akzeptieren, die dem o.g. Schema folgen. Du musst also niemanden um Erlaubnis fragen oder warten, bis deine Spezifikation akzeptiert und hinzugefügt wurde.
You can just build things.
Exkurs: Nostr für Binärdaten - Blossom
Ja, aber... das ist doch nur für textbasierte Daten geeignet? Was ist denn mit den Binärdaten (Bilder, Videos, PDFs, etc)
Diese Daten sind oft recht groß und es wurde sich auf das Best-Practice geeignet, diese Daten nicht auf Relays abzulegen, sondern einen besser geeigneten Publikationsmechanismus für diese Datentypen zu finden. Der Ansatz wird als "Blossom - Blobs stored simply on mediaservers" bezeichnet und ist recht unkompliziert.
Blossom Server (nichts anderes als simple Medienserver) nutzen Nostr Schlüsselpaare zur Verwaltung Identitäten und zum Signieren von Events. Die Blobs werden über ihren sha256 Hash identifiziert. Blossom definiert einige standardisierte Endpunkte, die beschreiben wie Medien hochgeladen werden können, wie sie konsumiert werden können usw.
Die Details, wie Authorisierung und die jeweiligen Endpunkte funktionieren, werden in der genannten Spezifikation beschrieben.
Nostr 🤝 Öffentliche Bildungsinfrastrukturen
Wie könnten Herausforderungen gelöst werden, wenn wir Nostr als Basis für die öffentliche Bildungsinfrastruktur einsetzen?
Material-Upload
- Es ist nicht einfach möglich OER bereitzustellen, sodass es auch auf verschiedenen Plattformen gefunden werden kann.
Mit Nostr als Basis-Infrastruktur würden die Metadaten und die Binärdaten nicht an den Service gekoppelt sein, von dem aus sie bereitgestellt wurden. Binärdaten können auf sogenannten Blossom-Servern gehostet werden. Metadaten, Kommentare und weitere textbasierte Daten werden über die Relay-Infrastruktur verteilt. Da Daten und Service entkoppelt sind, können die OER Materialien von verschiedenen Anwendungen aus konsumiert werden.
Kuration
- Es gibt keine interoperablen Sammlungen
- Metadaten-Annotation ist zentralisiert
- User können keine eigenen Metadaten hinzufügen
Sammlungen sind per se interoperabel. Auf Protokollebene ist definiert, wie Listen funktionieren. Die Annotation mit Metadaten ist an keiner Stelle zentralisiert. Das Versprechen der RDF-Community "Anyone can say anything about any topic" wird hier verwirklicht. Ich muss mir ja nicht alles anhören. Vielleicht konsumiere ich nur Metadaten-Events bestimmter Redaktionen oder User. Vielleicht nur diejenigen mit einer Nähe zu meinem sozialen Graphen. Jedenfalls gibt es die Möglichkeit für alle User entsprechende Metadaten bereit zu stellen.
Crawling, Indexierung und Suche * An vielen Stellen wird Content doppelt erschlossen, aber immer für die eigene Plattform * Es gibt keinen geteilten Datenraum, in den Akteure Content "pushen" können * Es gibt keine plattformübergreifenden Suchmöglichkeiten
Keine Doppelerschließungen mehr. Wenn ein User im Netzwerk ein Metadatenevent veröffentlicht hat, ist es für alle konsumierbar. Der Datenraum ist per se geteilt. Plattformübergreifende Suche wird durch die Kombination aus Relays und NIPs ermöglicht. In den NIPs können spezielle Query-Formate für die jeweiligen NIPs definiert werden. Relays können anzeigen, welche NIPs sie untersützten. Eine plattformübergreifende Suche ist im Nostr eine relay-übergreifende Suche.
Plattformübergreifende Kollaboration
- Obwohl nun #OEP in aller Munde sind, gibt es keine technischen Ansätze, wie (plattformübergreifende) Kollaboration technisch abgebildet werden kann
Nostr ist der technische Ansatz.
KI-Services
- KI-Services funktionieren oft nur auf der Plattform für die sie entwickelt werden
Es gibt im Nostr das Konzept der Data Vending Machines (s. auch data-vending-machines.org). Statt also einfach nur eine API zu bauen (was auch schon sehr schön ist, wenn sie offen zugänglich ist), könnten diese Services auch als Akteure im Nostr Netzwerk fungieren und Jobs annehmen und ausführen. Die Art der Jobs kann in einer Spezifikation beschrieben werden, sodass die Funktionsweise für alle interessierten Teilnehmer im Netzwerk einfach nachzuvollziehen ist.
Die Services könnten sogar monetarisiert werden, sodass sich hier auch Möglichkeiten böten, Geschäftsmodelle zu entwickeln.
Fazit
Die Open Education Community ist großartig. Es sind einzigartige und unglaublich engagierte Menschen, die sich dem hehren Ziel "Zugängliche Bildung für Alle" -> "Offene Bildung" verschrieben haben. Wir verwenden Creative Commons Lizenzen -> Commons -> Gemeingüter. Es ist okay, dass viele Projekte von Sponsoren und Förderungen abhängig sind. Was wir machen, ist im Sinne eines Gemeingutes: Öffentliche Bildung für alle. Also zahlen wir als Gemeinschaft alle dafür.
Was nicht okay ist: Dass das, wofür wir alle gezahlt haben, nach kurzer Zeit nicht mehr auffindbar ist. Dass es eingeschlossen wird. In öffentlich finanzierten Datensilos. Es muss für alle auch langfristig verfügbar sein. Sonst ist es nicht zugänglich, nicht offen. Dann ist das O in OER nur ein Label und Marketing, um für eine ABM-Maßnahme 3 Jahre Geld zu bekommen. Denn nichts anderes ist Content-Entwicklung, wenn der Content nach drei Jahren weggeschmissen wird.
Und dasselbe gilt für OEP. Offene Lernpraktiken, sind auch nur eine Phrase, wenn wir die passende technische Infrastruktur nicht mitdenken, die wirkliche Offenheit und Kollaboration und damit die Umsetzung offener Lernpraktiken ermöglicht.
Und wenn wir uns jetzt nicht Gedanken darüber machen, die Infrastruktur für offenes Lernen anzupassen, dann werden wir vermutlich in einigen Jahren sehen können, was bei politischen Umorientierungen noch davon übrig bleiben wird. Wenn die Fördertöpfe komplett gestrichen werden, was bleibt dann übrig von dem investierten Geld?
Wir brauchen Lösungen, die engagierte Communities weiter betreiben können und denen kein Kopf abgeschlagen werden kann, ohne dass wir zwei neue daneben setzen könnten.
Wir müssen uns jetzt Gedanken darüber machen.
Wie offen will öffentliche Bildungsinfrastruktur sein?

2025-06-05 16:46:19Think proving you're over 21 without showing your ID is impossible? Zero Knowledge Proofs make it real.
Zero Knowledge Proofs let you prove something is true without revealing the information itself. Imagine proving you know a password without saying it. It's like magic, but it's math.
They're used in crypto for private transactions, secure voting, and faster blockchains. Zcash and Aztec use them to hide transaction details. StarkWare uses them to make Ethereum faster.
But here's the twist: zk STARKs don't need a trusted setup, unlike zk SNARKs. This makes them more secure and decentralized.
Misconception alert: ZKPs aren't just for privacy. They also boost scalability and interoperability.
Want to dive deeper into this mind bending tech? What other secrets can ZKPs unlock?

2025-06-05 02:42:04ย้อนกลับไปเมื่อไม่กี่ปีที่ผ่านมา… มีบริษัทหน้าใหม่จากสหรัฐอเมริกาที่ชื่อไม่คุ้นหู แต่เสียงเงียบๆ ของมันดังไปถึงหูนักลงทุนรายใหญ่ระดับโลก ชื่อของมันคือ Motif FoodWorks
มันไม่ได้มาพร้อมคำสัญญาว่าจะเลี้ยงวัวด้วยดนตรีบำบัด แต่มาพร้อม “ความทะเยอทะยานทางวิทยาศาสตร์” ที่จะเปลี่ยนวิธีที่โลกกินไปตลอดกาล ไม่ใช่ด้วยรสมือคุณยาย แต่ด้วยสารเคมี วิศวกรรมชีวภาพ และเงินลงทุนที่แทบมองไม่เห็นก้นถุง
Motif FoodWorks ก่อตั้งในปี 2019 ในฐานะบริษัทลูกของ Ginkgo Bioworks ซึ่งเป็นบริษัทไบโอเทคชื่อดังจากบอสตัน วิสัยทัศน์ของ Motif คือการ “ออกแบบอาหารใหม่จากศูนย์” โดยไม่ต้องพึ่งพิงวัตถุดิบจากสัตว์เลย พวกเขาใช้เครื่องมือระดับห้องแล็บสร้างส่วนผสมใหม่ๆ เช่น… HEMAMI™ สารรส “อูมามิ” ที่ผลิตจากยีสต์ที่ถูกดัดแปลงพันธุกรรมให้สร้างโมเลกุล heme (แบบเดียวกับในเลือดสัตว์) APPETEX™ โปรตีนจากพืชที่ถูก “ทำให้เด้ง” เหมือนเนื้อสัตว์ ด้วยเทคนิคทางชีววิทยาโมเลกุล
มันคือการพยายามตอบคำถามว่า “จะทำอย่างไรให้ของที่ไม่ใช่เนื้อ…มีรสชาติเหมือนเนื้อ?”
เงินลงทุนรอบ Series A ของ Motif ทะลุ 200 ล้านดอลลาร์ภายในเวลาไม่กี่ปี ลงทุนโดยกองทุนสายเทคโนโลยีและ VC รายใหญ่ รวมถึงบริษัทผลิตอาหารรายใหญ่ระดับโลกที่เฮียคุ้นชื่อ แต่ที่น่าสนใจว่า ลูกค้ารายใหญ่ของ Motif กลับไม่ใช่ผู้บริโภคโดยตรง แต่เป็น บริษัทผลิตอาหาร “ทางเลือก” รายอื่นๆ ที่ต้องการสารปรุงแต่งใหม่ๆ เพื่อให้ผลิตภัณฑ์ให้ดูน่ากินขึ้น
ถ้า Impossible Foods คือร้านอาหาร Motif FoodWorks คือโรงงานผลิต “เครื่องปรุง” ที่จะทำให้ร้านอื่นๆ ทำอาหารเลียนแบบเนื้อได้อร่อยขึ้น มันคือ “เคมีแห่งความอร่อย” ที่ขายเป็น B2B ไม่ใช่ B2C ฟังดูแล้วเหมือนจะดีกับโลกไม่ต้องฆ่าสัตว์แต่ยังได้รสเนื้อ แต่คำถามคือ…
“ถ้าเราสร้างรสชาติที่เหมือนเนื้อจากยีสต์ดัดแปลงพันธุกรรม แล้วให้คนกินมันคือความก้าวหน้าทางวิทยาศาสตร์ หรือการทดลองที่ไม่มี IRB?”
Motif FoodWorks ใช้เทคโนโลยีเดียวกับหลายบริษัทในสาย Bioengineered Food เช่น CRISPR, precision fermentation, synthetic biology โดยเฉพาะ HEMAMI™ ที่หลายคนในวงการตั้งคำถามเรื่องความปลอดภัยระยะยาว และผลกระทบต่อ gut microbiome แม้จะผ่านการรับรอง GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) จาก FDA แต่ “ความปลอดภัย” กับ “ความเหมาะสม” มันเป็นคนละเรื่อง
การเปลี่ยนเนื้อให้เป็นสารสกัดการออกแบบรสชาติด้วยโมเลกุลมันคือแนวคิดเดียวกับที่ Ultra-Processed Food ใช้ในการสร้างน้ำอัดลมที่มี “กลิ่นมะนาว” โดยไม่มีมะนาวเลยแม้แต่นิด
Motif จึงไม่ต่างอะไรกับการ “รีแบรนด์ของให้ดูไฮเทค” หรืออีกนัยหนึ่งคือการเอาวิทยาศาสตร์ไปสร้างรสชาติ เพื่อให้ “ของที่ไม่ใช่” ดูเหมือน “ของที่ใช่”
และสิ่งนี้อาจเป็นอาวุธที่ทำให้มนุษย์ยิ่งห่างจาก real food แบบไม่รู้ตัว
การเกิดขึ้นของ Motif ไม่ใช่ความบังเอิญแต่มันคือชิ้นส่วนหนึ่งในเกมของ Big Food ที่กำลังพยายามออกแบบ “อาหารแห่งอนาคต” ไม่ใช่เพื่อสุขภาพ แต่เพื่อ ต้นทุน ความควบคุม และการขยายสิทธิ์ในทรัพย์สินทางปัญญา เพราะเมื่ออาหารถูกออกแบบด้วยสูตรที่จดสิทธิบัตร บริษัทจะสามารถเก็บค่าลิขสิทธิ์ได้ เหมือนที่ Microsoft เก็บเงินจากทุกเครื่องคอมพิวเตอร์ที่ลง Windows
แต่นั่นก็ไม่ใช่เรื่องแปลกใหม่อะไร เพราะเราก็ทำความรู้จัก future food มาด้วยกันพอสมควรแล้ว ประเด็นของ Motif นั้นมันทำให้เรารู้ว่า ในฝูงของนักล่า เขาไม่ได้แบ่งชิ้นเนื้อกันครับ การเป็นจ่าฝูงของนักล่า มันห้ำหั่นกันแบบเจ้าหมาป่ากันในแบบที่ สมันเหยื่อแบบพวกเรา รอวันโดนขย้ำเท่านั้น แล้วจะมาเล่าให้พรุ่งนี้ครับ
สำหรับวันนี้ ถ้าอยากเห็นสิ่งที่ Motif ทำไว้สามารถดูได้คลิปนี้ https://youtu.be/zZeRIVK6dDI?si=PYliM0v-9kj_sRE4 #pirateketo #กูต้องรู้มั๊ย #ม้วนหางสิลูก #siamstr

2025-06-05 06:36:49加密货币的现象学主权:制造“主权合法性的地平线”
1. 合法性地平线的概念界定
“合法性地平线”概念源于现象学的意向性结构与福柯的治理技术相结合,用以描述主权合法性如何被“看见”与“经验”。胡塞尔的现象学认为,每一种意识经验都带有一个“地平线”,即对象在主体意识中的出现总是伴随背景期待和可能性范围plato.stanford.edu。“地平线”代表了对象被给予时隐含的上下文——例如看到一张桌子时,我们预期换个角度仍看到桌子的不同侧面plato.stanford.edu。类似地,“主权合法性的地平线”指的是人们对某种权力或治理结构之合法性的背景期待:什么使它被感知为正当?这种正当性在经验中如何显现?
福柯的权力-知识视角进一步丰富了这一概念。他指出现代权力不仅通过法律和强制,而且通过生产知识、 discourse和治理术来发挥作用,使个体自觉内化某种规范en.wikipedia.org。福柯的“治理性”(governmentality)指一套组织实践、心态和技术,用以塑造被治理者的行为,从而使社会可被治理en.wikipedia.orgen.wikipedia.org。这意味着权力通过塑造认知与行为来制造“真理”,进而让自身的正当性看起来自然而然en.wikipedia.org。因此,当我们讨论Crypto系统的主权合法性时,必须考察其如何通过技术和符号手段塑造用户对合法性的直观感受。
在Crypto领域,代码即法律(“code is law”)的理念体现了这种通过技术制造合法性感知的努力:区块链系统将权力关系直接编码进协议,以数学“真理”取代引入暴力的主权命令medium.com。通过共识算法、智能合约和链上治理,Crypto系统创造了一种可经验的秩序感:网络规则透明公开、对所有参与者一视同仁地适用,因而让人感到这套秩序“自洽”且有正当性。这种经验结构就是“合法性地平线”——用户在与Crypto系统互动时,感知到一种内在的规则正当性背景。例如,去中心化网络的界面设计、视觉符号(币标、NFT艺术等)、参与仪式(节点投票、提案讨论)都成为现象学意义上的“提示”,引导参与者将该系统视为某种主权实体的化身,其合法性在体验中被建构和感受。
简言之,合法性地平线指的是Crypto系统通过代码规则与治理技术,营造出一种主权正当性的感知视域,使得参与者“看到”并“感觉到”该系统的权力是合理的、可信的。这一概念融合了胡塞尔的意向性地平线(对象在经验中的意义背景)plato.stanford.edu和福柯的治理技术(权力通过知识和技术使自身合法化)en.wikipedia.org。在这个视域中,主权合法性不再仅仅是一套法律文本或国家权威的声明,而是被嵌入在Crypto网络的日常体验和符号实践中,成为参与者主观生活世界的一部分。
2. 不同Crypto系统的主权合法性建构之比较
各类加密货币系统在构建主权合法性的路径上存在显著差异。这些差异体现于叙事策略、政治参与形式以及它们对待国家既有权力结构的姿态。下面将比较比特币、以太坊、“矿币”(如门罗币Monero、比特币现金BCH)、meme币(如DOGE狗狗币)与“国家代理币”(如波场TRON、币安币BNB)如何各自制造和投射其合法性地平线:
-
比特币(Bitcoin):比特币通过“去中心化的货币”叙事建立其合法性视域。作为第一个区块链币种,它宣称无需任何中央权威即可运作,bitcoin.org其P2P网络由所有节点集体维护交易和发行规则bitcoin.org。这种无中心的特性及公开透明的设计(开源代码、总量恒定等)构成了比特币合法性地平线的核心:用户在使用比特币时体验到的是一种“不依赖国家背书而自洽”的金融秩序。从政治参与看,比特币的治理相当克制——共识规则变化需要全网多数接受,但普通用户主要通过运行节点、舆论参与来影响决策。比特币对国家权威的姿态是疏离甚至对抗的:它诞生于对央行和法币的不信任,其“自我主权”理念强调个人掌控资产、抵御通胀和审查bitcoin.org。因此,比特币的合法性来源于一种技术乌托邦叙事:因为有密码学和算力保障的“真实”共识,它试图成为无需暴力强制也能令人信服的主权货币替代品。
-
以太坊(Ethereum):以太坊以“世界计算机”和去中心化应用平台的叙事建立合法性。其焦点在于提供一个信任中立的基础设施,让任何人可在其上部署智能合约和自治组织。以太坊的合法性地平线体现在社区共治和持续进化上:开发者和持币者通过Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIP)等机制参与协议升级,体现出某种“公民参与”式的治理。相较比特币的保守,以太坊更强调通过技术治理(例如近期的权益证明合并)来提升网络,从而使参与者体验到一种“宪政”氛围——规则可以被有序改进但需达成广泛共识。以太坊对国家的姿态较为务实中立:一方面核心开发者强调去信任和抗审查,另一方面也出现与企业、政府合作的探索(例如企业以太联盟EEA)。总的来说,以太坊试图通过自身的治理结构赢得合法性认同,即“代码之治”也能产生稳定可信的规则秩序,让用户相信以太坊作为基础设施是正当且持久的。
-
“矿币”类(门罗币Monero、比特币现金BCH 等):这些由PoW挖矿支撑的独立链试图通过差异化理念建立合法性。_门罗币(XMR)_的核心叙事是“金融隐私即人权”。它以强匿名技术(环签名、隐匿地址)确保交易无法追踪,从而保护用户免受监控。这种隐私至上的设计塑造出一种道义合法性:拥护者视门罗为对抗强权窥视的“地下主权货币”,满足了对__“不受政府控制的私密数字现金”的需求coinstats.app。许多用户将门罗视为一种金融自由运动,认为其价值不仅在技术,更在于实践了个人隐私和去国家化的理想coinstats.app。这种合法性地平线带有浓厚的他者伦理色彩:门罗以他者(用户个人)的绝对隐私权利为出发点来挑战国家的透明化权力。*比特币现金(BCH)*则以“点对点电子现金”的愿景自我合法化。由于不满比特币在扩容问题上的治理,BCH社区通过硬分叉另立门户,主张更大的区块以实现高吞吐量交易,从而真正落实日常支付之用。BCH的合法性叙事建立在对中本聪原旨的捍卫和对“小区块高费用”比特币路线的反抗上:支持者声称BCH才继承了比特币作为普惠数字现金**的正统。在政治参与方面,BCH社区更激进直接,以分叉手段投票,以技术手段执行“人民意志”。对国家权威,BCH与BTC类似,倾向于忽视或平行存在,通过先构建民间采用(一些发展中国家商户接受BCH支付等)来潜移默化获取合法性认同,而非寻求政府背书。
-
Meme币(以DOGE为代表):狗狗币以戏谑和社区文化打造出独特的合法性视域。其诞生本是一场对严肃金融的调侃:柴犬形象和戏谑语调淡化了传统权力符号。但正是这种去权威化的平易近人风格,使DOGE形成了强大的草根认同感。狗狗币的叙事不是宏大叙事,而是“互联网亚文化的胜利”——它暗含一种对正规金融和精英主义的反抗,但方式是幽默和慈善(例如社区募资赞助体育队、奥运选手等事件)。DOGE缺乏严格的链上治理,其开发也长期停滞,但这反而强化了一种“自发秩序”的体验:社区共识主要通过社交媒体和名人带动形成,而非正式投票。Elon Musk等人的参与更赋予其某种“民意代理”的色彩——仿佛大众情绪经由名人之口成为DOGE价值的背书。对于国家等宏大他者,狗狗币采取的是玩笑般的态度:既不直接抗衡也无意合规寻求承认,而是通过病毒式传播让自己成为社群现象。它的合法性地平线建立在“人气即公理”的感受上:参与DOGE的人因为欢乐、互助和社区精神而相信它的价值——这是一种全新的主权幻象,好似**“人民的笑声”**本身成了权威。在严肃制度看来这也许缺乏传统合法性,但在参与者体验中,DOGE营造出一个轻松却凝聚的共同体,这本身构成了对主权合法性的另类想象。
-
“国家代理币”(TRON波场、Binance Coin币安币):这类由企业或创始人强力主导的Crypto系统,其合法性建构路径与上述去中心化理想截然不同。它们更像是在模仿和代理国家主权,通过与现有权力结构的合作与对接来赢得合法性认同。*波场(TRON)*由孙宇晨主导,采取高度市场化和中心化的运营方式,同时积极寻求监管和政府的正面互动。波场网络上的稳定币(如USDT)发行量巨大,是除以太坊外最大的稳定币结算链之一(截至2024年Tron链上流通的USDT价值接近600亿美元,仅次于以太坊上的750亿coindesk.com)。这种庞大的稳定币流通使波场实质上成为国际美元稳定币清算网络的一部分,仿佛承担了“影子央行”功能。此外,波场积极配合监管:2024年成立“T3打击金融犯罪部门”,联合区块链分析公司和稳定币发行方,已在全球范围内冻结了1亿美元涉嫌非法的USDT资产coindesk.com。通过这一链上冻结和执法机制,波场表现出类国家警务的功能,向用户和政府传达出“我们维护法治”的信号。波场团队甚至直接介入国家政治:创始人孙宇晨曾出任格林纳达驻WTO大使(2021-2023),并成功推动多米尼克国将TRON系列加密货币(包括TRX, BTT, JST等)作为法定货币授权流通,用于公共缴费和税收commonwealthchamber.com。这一系列举措构筑了波场的合法性地平线:通过与小国政府合作、模拟国家职能(发行法币、执法冻结)以及高调与各国政要互动,波场试图让公众相信:尽管它不是“真正的”主权国家,但它是缺位主权的代理者,一个值得信赖的准国家金融体系。
*币安币(BNB)*则依托全球最大加密交易所币安的影响力来建构合法性。BNB链由币安主导,其治理采用验证者联盟模式,实际控制力集中。这种结构下,币安选择通过拥抱监管和强调合规性来让BNB生态显得“安全可靠”。例如,币安推动发行的稳定币BUSD曾是完全持牌的合规稳定币,由纽约金融服务署批准发行binance.com(直至2023年监管介入暂停增发)。BNB链也展现出准主权的治理能力:虽然标榜去中心化,但在2022年一次恶性攻击后,币安团队协调验证者冻结了黑客地址,随后通过链上治理决定如何处置被盗资产cointelegraph.com。事实证明币安有能力在必要时单方面暂停网络、冻结资金,这类似于国家在紧急状态下冻结账户或央行干预金融市场的权力。此外,币安在各国积极寻求合法牌照,建立合规部门,雇佣前政府官员作为顾问,体现了对主权法规的尊重和对接。这一切塑造出BNB的合法性视域:用户在其中感受到的是一个由企业主导但受法律框架认可的体系——币安扮演着某种超国家的经济体角色,试图将加密世界与传统国家体系桥接。因此,在BNB的地平线上,主权合法性表现为一种混合体:既强调自身作为独立生态系统的技术权威,又通过拥抱监管来暗示其行为获得现实合法性的许可。
3. TRON与BNB的主权合法性地平线建构机制
着重分析波场(TRON)和币安链(BNB)这两个“国家代理币”案例,可以更清晰地看到Crypto系统如何通过具体机制制造合法性认知的地平线,将“主权缺位”转化为“主权代理”。
首先,稳定币结算网络是两者的重要抓手。波场凭借极低手续费和高吞吐性能,承载了巨额的USDT稳定币交易coindesk.com。这意味着大量用户(尤其在亚非等新兴市场)通过波场网络完成美元价值的跨境转移。客观上,波场在充当部分国际清算体系的功能。这一点被波场团队策略性地用于合法性建构:他们高调宣布TRON成为多米尼克的“国家区块链”,不仅在法律上获准其代币为法币commonwealthchamber.com,还协助该国发行了多米尼克币(DMC)等基于波场的国家代币。这种深度绑定国家的行为,使波场在用户心中产生一种“准官方”的印象——仿佛波场网络是有主权意志背书的。相比之下,币安的BNB链在稳定币方面则通过BUSD的合规性树立公信力:BUSD在美国持牌发行binance.com时,币安广泛宣传其“安全、有监管保障”的属性。这向大众传递的信息是:BNB生态内的价值尺度(稳定币)是受到传统金融法规保护的,从而增加对其使用的信任。这种“法币锚定”的经验缩小了Crypto系统与法定主权体系的心理距离,让用户觉得BNB网络内的资产更“像正规钱”。
其次,链上冻结机制与监管代理凸显了这两大系统主动承担“执法”功能,以换取合法性认同。波场的T3部门联合第三方在全球范围冻结非法资金coindesk.com,表明波场并非一个无法无天的“暗网”,而是愿意扮演金融警察角色。这一机制在体验层面制造出清晰信号:波场网络上的犯罪行为会被惩戒,资产可以按规矩被冻结返还,网络秩序得到维护——这些过去只有主权国家才能做到的事,如今一个链上组织也做到了。对于政府而言,这无疑提升了对波场的信任,因为它显示出配合监管的姿态。BNB链在应对黑客攻击时展现的冻结账户和回滚交易能力cointelegraph.com则进一步强化了这一点。虽然此举在加密社区中引发去中心化受损的争议,但从合法性认知角度看,却让普通用户感到一种熟悉的安全感——正如银行被盗时央行和警方会介入,BNB链遭黑客时币安团队亦有权力干预救济。这种可经验的治理结构(例如用户听闻某黑客被冻结资产、某诈骗犯在波场上资金被冻结)直接让用户将波场和BNB视作“负责任的治理者”。福柯意义上,这是加密网络运用现代治理技术赢得权力合法性的体现:通过主动监管自身生态,塑造良好秩序的知识和话语,让自身权威显得必要且正当en.wikipedia.org。
再者,政治人物互动与象征资本也是TRON与BNB制造合法性地平线的重要策略。孙宇晨以其公共身份为波场攒足了象征资本:他以国家大使身份出席国际组织,在推特上自称“H.E.”(His Excellency)彰显外交头衔,将个人品牌与主权象征绑定。这种行为虽然饱受争议,但在现象学层面为波场用户提供了一个感知框架:波场的领导者被视为主流政治圈的一员,从而仿佛赋予波场网络以某种“准国家”的光环。同样地,币安创始人赵长鹏(CZ)频繁出现在各国监管机构会议、国际论坛和媒体访谈中,努力将自己塑造成负责任的行业领袖形象。币安还聘请前政府高官为顾问,在多个国家建立合规团队。这一系列举措在用户经验中累积出一种印象:BNB和币安并非游离于法律之外的野蛮生长,而是积极融入主流规则之中。用户在参与BNB链生态时,会感到一种“安心”——仿佛背后有成熟企业和甚至某种政府级别的信誉作支撑。这其实正对应于列维纳斯所强调的伦理关系:他者(政府、社会)对于一个主体的合法性至关重要。Crypto系统通过与他者(政治权威)的互动,赢得了来自他者的承认,从而在伦理意义上缓解了“无主权背书”带来的焦虑。在列维纳斯看来,他者性的承认带来伦理上的正当medium.com。波场和BNB通过争取他者的承认,部分地填补了纯技术自我封闭体系的伦理赤字——用户不再只是面对冰冷代码,也看到这些系统在现实他者(政府、名人)那里获得了回应和责任承担。
总体而言,TRON与BNB走的是一条“以他者成就自我”的主权建构之路:它们没有国家那样的传统合法性来源,便通过模仿国家职能(发行法币、监管执法)和寻求国家认同(法律地位、外交合作)来主动制造一个合法性知觉的“地平线”。在这个地平线上,用户仿佛站在一个新型主权的领域边界:向内看,是自成一体、规则透明的区块链秩序;向外看,又与既有主权世界接轨,被赋予熟悉的合法性象征。主权的空位因此被这些Crypto系统以代理人身份占据,并在经验中呈现出一种强烈的主权氛围。
4. 去国家化还是再国家化?——主权合法性的变迁
通过上述分析,我们看到主权合法性正在从传统国家转移到“可经验的治理结构”和“自洽的合法性感知”上来。在某些Crypto系统中,合法性不再仰赖国家授予,而是源于网络自身运行所生成的认同感和秩序感。这种转变本身带有辩证的两面:一方面,去中心化技术削弱了地理国家对合法性的垄断;但另一方面,这些技术社群往往重新制造出一种更强烈的主权意象,仿佛回归了主权逻辑的另一种形式(即“再国家化”)。
从福柯的观点看,这体现了一种权力编碼方式的更替。国家的主权在本质上是一套权力关系的编碼,靠暴力和法律被维系medium.com。“合法性”传统上来自于**“统治的习俗化”:人民接受国家是因为历史、法律和强制使其看似当然。然而Crypto开创了另一个路径:它通过“真理化”权力关系来赢得合法性。诚如福柯所言,现代国家以“权威而非真理”铸成法律;而区块链则尝试以“真理(共识不可篡改)”来让秩序合法medium.com。medium.com有学者借鉴福柯的生权力概念指出,加密系统通过把权力关系字面地编入代码,创造了一种全新的社会、经济乃至政治力量medium.com。这种力量一方面作为对抗国家装置的反权力出现,另一方面又提供了新型的治理方案和法律形式medium.com。换言之,在Crypto中“代码之治”取代了“暴力之治”,共识机制取代枪炮成为背后支撑规则的力量medium.com。它以数学和协议的不可违背性打造出一种“不可侵犯的真理体系”**来承载法律,从而宣称自己具有正当性medium.com。这种正当性被参与者以切身经验感知到:每一笔交易的确定性、每一次投票的公开透明,都在累积对系统公正性的信任。当足够多的人认同“链上的结果即合法”,那么代码本身就获得了权威。
然而,这是否意味着国家主权失去了角色?事实上,我们在TRON、BNB案例中看到,相当多Crypto系统依然寻求模拟乃至重塑主权。可以说,Crypto并非单纯地消解主权,而是在重写主权。许多区块链网络内部形成的治理结构,本质上是某种微观政治共同体,它们需要获得“合法性资本”以维系内部秩序vitalik.eth.limo。维塔利克·布特林强调,合法性是一种关键的稀缺资源,是区块链运作的基石vitalik.eth.limo。当社区认定某种共识改变是合法的,它就会被接受;反之则可能分叉或叛离vitalik.eth.limo。这表明即使没有国家,社群本身会生成新的合法性来源。这种合法性或许来自道德感召(如门罗的隐私伦理),或来自技术信念(如比特币的算法公正),或来自领袖魅力和政治交易(如TRON/BNB)。无论来源如何,其共同点是:经由参与者的体验和共识,这些Crypto系统内部涌现出一种共同承认的权威。
可以将其理解为**“自洽的合法性感知”:Crypto系统通过一套自足的规则和象征,使参与者产生对其正当性的直觉认知。这种正当性未必需要外在支持,正如列维纳斯所言,“他者的面容”赋予我们伦理上的责任和正当约束;在去中心化网络中,“他者”即社区共识本身**。每个节点、每个用户既是他者也是自身主权的一部分:当他们彼此认可网络规则的正当性时,就构成了一种内在伦理契约。比特币社区不需要某国政府认可其发行的币合法,但社区内部对21百万上限、对工作量证明的认同本身就是合法性的来源。同理,以太坊社区在DAO事件后选择回滚分叉,是基于成员对“恢复社会正义”的共识来定义何为合法结果,而非听命于外部权威vitalik.eth.limo。
因此,我们正见证某种主权概念的奇异转变:主权合法性从地理国家转移到分布式网络,从肉身暴力转移到算法规则,从他律转移到某种新形式的自律(但这种自律又是一群人的共同他律)。这可以被视为一种去国家化的主权(de-nationalized sovereignty)。它在表面上削弱了民族国家的统治,但在实践中,加密网络内部往往塑造出更强烈的“主权”氛围:有旗帜(符号和Logo)、有宪章(白皮书和协议)、有公民(持币人)、有政府(开发团队/节点联盟)和法院(共识投票机制)。甚至,Crypto主权者还创造出了自己的暴力替代物:矿工的算力竞争、验证者的斥资押注,都扮演着捍卫秩序的功能——虽然不以流血形式出现,却也要求付出资源和冒险来维护规则。
值得注意的是,这种新型主权氛围也潜藏风险:列维纳斯提醒我们,真正的伦理在于对他者的无条件责任。如果一种新的“主权”缺乏对真正他者(如社会上最弱者、圈外人)的关切,而只顾自身体系的自洽,那么它可能蜕变为封闭的“总体性”,失去伦理高度。换言之,自洽的合法性必须警惕变成一种自我循环的独断。如果Crypto系统只是在复制国家主权的仪式而缺乏对他者的敏感,那么它带来的可能不是真正超越国家的政治解放,反而可能是技术掩饰下的旧权力延续。
5. 结语:新的政治现象的生成?
通过对加密货币“制造主权合法性的地平线”的探讨,我们进入了一个复杂而耐人寻味的哲学反思:我们是否正在见证一种全新的政治现象生成?Crypto所引发的,究竟是对“统治”、“合法性”与“国家”这些根本范畴的改写,还是对其模拟与延展?
一方面,区块链技术的出现无疑挑战了传统政治哲学。昔日主权离不开疆域与暴力,如今无形的代码与共识竟能使数亿资金流转、有社区誓死捍卫其决策。权力不再完全垄断于政府机构;合法性不再完全依赖霍布斯式的臣民契约或韦伯式的科层理性,而在很大程度上取决于技术架构能否令参与者信服。如果说政治现象的生成需要公共领域中主体间的互动,那么Crypto提供了一个前所未有的新场域:匿名的个体通过算法秩序关联在一起,形成了某种准政治共同体。从现象学角度看,我们的经验世界里第一次出现了**“数字此在”**(digital Dasein)彼此互动生成秩序的景象——没有警察和军队,但有哈希和共识;没有政府颁布法律,但有协议自动执行;没有法袍加身的法官,但有遍布全球的节点见证和仲裁。这究竟是对政治的扬弃,还是另一种形式的政治?或许我们正站在理解政治的新地平线上。
另一方面,我们也需清醒地看到,新事物背后潜藏旧问题。Crypto的很多实践是在重新定义合法性来源,但仍然绕不开人类社会固有的权力张力。链上治理也好、社区共识也罢,无法免俗地出现寡头影响、话语控制、少数服从多数等经典政治难题。甚至,一些Crypto系统以去中心之名行中心集权之实,只不过权力披上了技术的外衣。因而,我们应当辩证地看待Crypto的“再主权化”倾向:它可能预示着政治形态从民族国家向网络共同体的演变,但未必根本消除了不公和压迫。正如福柯分析的,那些看似超越国家的新权力网络,也许只是在以更微妙的方式治理我们en.wikipedia.org。
对于哲学而言,Crypto提供了一个试金石。它迫使我们重新审视“统治”究竟意味着什么:当没有了可见的统治者,规则本身成为统治,我们还如何定义服从与自由?它也促使我们反思“合法性”的本质:究竟是源自暴力威慑、传统习俗,抑或如卢梭所愿是公共意志?在区块链上,公共意志表现为共识算法下的“多数同意”,但这与理想的人民主权是否相符,仍有待商榷。最后,“国家”的概念或将被重构:也许未来的“国家”不再局限于地理和民族,而可能是一群共享某种链上身份和价值观的人所组成的数字邦联。“网络主权”或者“算法城邦”不再是科幻小说的描绘,而是现实政治经济中的活跃力量。
我们正在迈入一个灰色地带:传统政治哲学的范畴在此与数字现实交织,出现模糊和变形。Crypto既非纯粹技术现象,也非单一经济事物,而更像是一次跨领域的实验,带有人类对秩序与自由的双重渴望。或许再过若干年,我们回看今日,会发现Crypto确实开启了一场关于主权合法性的深刻变革;也或许,我们会发现它只是在旧逻辑中循环。但无论如何,当下这一幕——代码、伦理、权力交织下的合法性地平线之生成——值得我们以最审慎又开放的心态去观察、去理论化。这不仅关乎Crypto本身的命运,更关系到21世纪人类如何重新定义自身共同生活的基本准则。我们也许正在书写“统治-合法性-国家”三位一体的新篇章,其走向仍未定型,而思想的追问与参与将是塑造这一走向的重要力量。

2025-06-06 04:19:25تاریخچه پیدایش پروتکل اردینالز
پروتکل اردینالز در ژانویه 2023 توسط کیسی رودرمور معرفی شد. این پروتکل حاصل دو بهروزرسانی مهم در بیتکوین است:
-
سگویت (2017): جدا کردن دادههای امضا از بدنه تراکنشها برای افزایش فضای بلاک.
-
تپروت (2021): افزایش حریم خصوصی و انعطافپذیری در تراکنشها.
رودرمور با استفاده از این دو ویژگی، سیستمی را طراحی کرد که به هر ساتوشی یک شناسه اختصاص میدهد و امکان الصاق داده به آن را فراهم میکند. اولین اینسکریپشن رسمی در دسامبر 2022 یک تصویر پیکسلی از یک جمجمه بود.
اینسکریپشن چیست؟
اینسکریپشن به معنای «حکاکی» دیجیتال است و در اینجا به ثبت دادههایی مانند تصویر، ویدئو یا متن بر روی بلاکچین بیتکوین اشاره دارد. برخلاف انافتی های سنتی که اغلب فقط لینک یا متادیتا ثبت میکنند، اینسکریپشنها کل داده را در بخش ویتنس تراکنش ذخیره میکنند و به یک ساتوشی خاص متصل میشوند.
پروتکل اردینالز چگونه کار میکند؟
پروتکل اردینالز به هر ساتوشی یک شماره منحصربهفرد میدهد و آن را غیرقابلتعویض میکند. مراحل اصلی آن:
-
شمارهگذاری: به هر ساتوشی یک شناسه اختصاص مییابد.
-
اینسکریپشن: با ابزارهایی مثل ابزار داده به ساتوشی الصاق میشود.
-
ذخیرهسازی: در بخش ویتنس با حجم حداکثر ۴ مگابایت.
-

2025-06-05 05:55:45TRX 与 Crypto 政治代理模型:从哈耶克到稳定币主权
Crypto 即政治:从“罪”与“犯”的隐喻谈主权分化
“加密货币即政治”并非危言耸听。在社会分类中,“违法”与“犯罪”是两个层次的概念:前者意味着契约或规则的违背,而后者则是在权力结构下对自由行动者的政治性压制。换言之,有些行为本身并无“原罪”,却因触犯统治者利益被贴上“犯罪”的标签。这正如法学中对自然犯(mala in se,如偷盗谋杀等天生有害的行为)和法定犯(mala prohibita,因立法禁令才成为犯罪的行为)的区分。当代货币体系中,国家对货币发行与流通的垄断,造就了主权货币与“非法货币”的二元对立。奥地利学派经济学家哈耶克早在《货币的非国家化》中就预言:如果允许私人发行货币与法币公开竞争,最终能保持购买力稳定的货币将胜出finance.sina.cn。哈耶克认为政府垄断发行的不稳定货币终将让位于更稳定的竞争货币finance.sina.cn——这一观点在加密时代愈发具有隐喻意义。
如今的 Crypto 网络即是主权的实验场。各国监管者对稳定币、链上资金流动和法币通道的管控,构成了对加密行动者的“违法/犯罪”判定。例如,使用未授权稳定币进行跨境转账、绕过资本管制,并不违反当事人之间的契约,却往往被视作违法甚或犯罪行为——原因无他,只因这挑战了既有的金融主权架构。现象学视角提醒我们,应透过现象看本质:当执法者将自由交易行为定性为“犯罪”,正是传统主权对新兴数字主权的压制。Crypto世界中,“合法”与“非法”的界线并非由道德决定,而是由谁掌握规则决定。这为理解 Crypto 生态内各阵营的主权分化提供了理论框架:哪个网络掌握了自主的规则制定权,哪个网络就赢得了主权话语权。
稳定币主权与 TRX:黑灰资金的草根网络
稳定币是当前加密领域主权争夺的核心工具。最典型者莫过于 USDT 等美元锚定币——它们由私人公司发行,却承载着超主权货币的野心。尤其在 Tron(波场)网络 上,USDT 展现出惊人的统治力。2025年4月,波场上的 USDT 流通量突破700亿美元,占全球 USDT 总发行量近一半finance.sina.com.cn。截至今年5月,波场TRON上流通的 USDT 数量已反超以太坊,成为全球最大的稳定币发行与结算网络coindesk.comcoindesk.com。这种格局绝非偶然——波场独特的资源冻结机制(用户可冻结TRX获取带宽/能量从而基本免费交易)降低了交易门槛,使得小额高频的资金流动极为廉价。这使 TRX 链天然成为草根资金的“结算主链”,承接了大量主流金融体系之外的资金需求。
更值得关注的是波场上的黑市/灰色地带资金流动。低费率、高效率和对审查相对宽松的特性,吸引了大量游走于监管边缘的资本选择TRX链作为避风港。据区块链分析公司 TRM Labs 报告,2024年全球非法加密交易中有超过一半发生在 Tron 网络上,金额高达260亿美元dlnews.comdlnews.com。这些非法活动包括与受制裁实体相关的转账、诈骗黑客资金洗白以及暗网交易等dlnews.com。不法分子之所以青睐波场,正是看中了其稳定币通道和低交易成本等优势dlnews.com。北韩黑客在2024年盗取的8亿美元加密资产,大部分在数小时内经由波场链上的USDT迅速转移dlnews.com。联合国的分析同样指出,波场网络上的 USDT 已成为东亚地区欺诈和洗钱者的“首选”工具dlnews.com。由此可见,波场实际上扮演着**“无照金融公路”的角色:那些被传统金融体系拒之门外、没有正规交易所资格的人,可以通过波场上的USDT完成跨境汇兑和大额交易。这种自下而上的草根主权**,在波场网络上得到了前所未有的市场化体现。
当然,“草根主权”的另一面是高风险和争议。Tether公司虽偶有配合监管冻结特定链上地址,但波场整体上对资金流向的管束远不如银行体系。这使其成为地下资金的温床,也令波场背负“黑钱温床”的骂名。然而,换个角度看,这正验证了那句箴言:革命者在暴政者眼中即是罪犯。波场承载的灰色资金,恰恰反映了主流权力视角下的“犯罪”,但对于使用这些渠道的普通人来说,这可能只是追寻金融自由和机会的务实选择。
孙宇晨的政治人格:主权代理人的崛起
如果说波场TRON成为“无声多数”的金融主权载体,那么其创始人孙宇晨则高调地扮演起了加密世界的政治代理人。一直以来,加密圈华人创业者往往秉持“闷声发财、远离政治”的生存哲学,然孙宇晨选择了截然不同的道路:主动以政治为剧本,塑造个人和项目的话语权。
首先,他直接介入了美国的政治舆论场。2024年底以来,孙宇晨高调参与前总统川普推出的加密项目:斥资数千万美元认购“Trump系列”代币,成为该项目最大公开投资人之一reuters.com。2025年5月,孙宇晨作为头号持币者出席了川普在弗吉尼亚高尔夫俱乐部举办的私宴,与川普同台亮相reuters.com。他不仅以约1.85亿美元等值的钱包额度夺得饭局“竞标”第一名,还受邀成为川普家族加密平台 World Liberty Financial 的顾问reuters.com。这场引发争议的晚宴上,孙宇晨西装革履出镜,高调宣示其政治立场。巧合的是,就在饭局前后,美国证券交易委员会(SEC)突然宣布暂停此前对孙宇晨提起的证券欺诈诉讼,理由是“基于公共利益”reuters.com。这一戏剧性转折不禁令人生疑:孙宇晨深谙政治筹码运作之道,懂得借助美国权力更迭的契机为自己谋得一张“豁免令”。他在X平台(推特)上感慨对邀请心怀感激reuters.com——无形中传达出与未来政治盟友结盟的信号。
其次,孙宇晨积极布局中立主权地区,塑造自身的国际政治身份。他早在2019年即移居新加坡,将波场基金会设立于此,以避开中国大陆的监管高压。更令人瞩目的是,2021年底孙宇晨受聘出任加勒比海国家格林纳达驻世贸组织代表,正式踏入外交圈aljazeera.comaljazeera.com。身为一名加密创业者,却摇身一变成为“孙大使”,这在币圈乃至政坛都属破天荒之举。孙宇晨对媒体直言,加密行业发展到了需要主权国家和国际组织正视其潜力的阶段,他将致力于让区块链获得更多国家的认可aljazeera.com。他特别提到加勒比国家具有成为“下一个新加坡”的潜力:“加勒比国家离美国很近,但又不在美国,这非常关键。在美国境内你会陷入严苛监管和税收,而在加勒比,你可以避开这些桎梏。”aljazeera.com。这番话道出了孙宇晨战略的精髓——借助小国中立地带实现进可攻退可守的布局:既贴近美国这样的核心市场获取影响力,又保持独立主权豁免于其监管范围。
再次,孙宇晨还在国际舆论和文化象征上进行政治表态:例如高调竞拍知名艺术品、与名人互动、甚至不避讳与政治敏感人物(如特朗普阵营)同台。reuters.com川普在活动上直言“拜登政府迫害了加密创新者,我们要把他们带回美国”,孙宇晨的出现无疑为这一论调背书。在国内外社交媒体上,他乐于以“搞事者”形象示人,时而炮轰监管不公,时而与监管机构周旋谈判。从购买巴菲特午餐到押注川普NFT,从宣布波场成为多米尼加共和国官方公链到在洪都拉斯建立加密公司,他一再突破华人企业家避讳政治的传统藩篱,塑造出一个敢于同各国势力斡旋的主权代言人形象。市场也给予了正向反馈:在2023-2025这一轮震荡周期中,TRX价格和生态韧性远超许多竞争对手;波场不仅未被监管风暴击沉,反而因其政治押注而收获新增用户和资金青睐(USDT市值占比的提升即是一例finance.sina.com.cn)。孙宇晨个人也凭借外交官身份游走于各国高层,增强了项目背书的公信力。
与孙宇晨类似,币安创始人赵长鹏(CZ)也体现了“Crypto政治代理人”的影子。作为另一位华人加密巨头,CZ深知监管博弈的重要:币安从中国出发,几经辗转注册地于马耳他、开曼等地,近年来又与迪拜、阿布扎比等中东监管方建立良好关系。尽管币安在美国也受到诉讼挑战,但CZ本人频繁出席各国峰会、主动配合调查、游说政策制定者,其全球公关布局使 BNB 等币安生态资产始终享有一定溢价。可以说,孙宇晨和CZ代表的“华人币”之所以在风雨飘摇的市场中幸存并趋强,正是因为他们扮演了超越技术层面的政治角色:当绝大多数项目埋头编码或躲避监管时,他们选择直面政治、影响政治。
技术乌托邦的失语:ETH、SOL、XRP、ADA 的失速
将波场TRX和币安BNB的经历与其他主流链对照,更能突显“政治代理机制”的缺失所带来的代价。以太坊(ETH)、Solana(SOL)、瑞波(XRP)、Cardano(ADA)等项目,各有辉煌的技术远景或社区共识,却在本轮周期里不同程度陷入了失语和失速状态,一个重要原因正是缺乏有效的政治代理。
-
以太坊:作为智能合约的开创者,以太坊一直醉心于技术迭代和去中心化理想。然而,面对现实世界的监管压力,以太坊社区显得相对被动甚至天真。2021年后,美国制裁“Tornado Cash”等事件使以太坊网络一度出现矿工/验证者自我审查(OFAC合规)的现象,凸显出去中心化网络在政治压力下的脆弱。以太坊基金会和维塔利克等核心人物选择回避直接介入政治角力,试图以技术中立自守。但结果是,在稳定币领域,以太坊逐渐让出优势:USDT更多地流向了“不问来路”的波场,而USDC这种受美国监管严格的稳定币虽然依赖以太坊,却因为监管风险屡屡遭遇增发受限、黑名单冻结等情况。这使得以太坊在**“金融主权承载”**方面的话语权削弱。没有政治代理人替以太坊发声,其技术优势难以转化为对抗监管的筹码。相反,我们看到SEC在近期诉讼中对ETH网开一面(未将ETH列为证券),某种程度上是因其高度依赖美国企业(如Coinbase、Circle)的合规运营——这并非政治胜利,而更像被纳入现有规则体系的被动选择。
-
Solana、Cardano:这两条后起之秀公链,一个以极致性能著称,一个以学术范严谨著称。然而,他们在制度博弈上都缺乏存在感。2023年,美国SEC在对币安、Coinbase等交易所的诉讼中,点名将 SOL、ADA 等列为未经注册的证券,导致相关代币价格暴跌、机构退避cointelegraph.com。SOL和ADA团队自身并无强有力的政治资源予以反击:Solana团队更多精力放在修复网络停机和拓展应用上,对监管定性只能听天由命;Cardano的查尔斯·霍斯金森虽活跃社交媒体,但更多是科普技术和理念,对抗监管的实际影响力有限。当监管大棒挥下,这些专注技术的项目只能被动接受市场信心滑坡的现实。简言之,缺少政治代理等于缺少话语权——无论技术多优,没有人在权力场为你据理力争,你的话语权就只能拱手让人。
-
瑞波 XRP:作为对比,XRP的境遇更具讽刺意味。瑞波公司早早意识到监管的重要性,选择在美国走法律途径与SEC对簿公堂,试图以司法胜利换取地位合法。cointelegraph.com2023年中,瑞波在诉讼中部分胜诉,法院认定XRP本身不是证券,这看似是政治博弈的成果。然而,诉讼旷日持久耗费了瑞波数年的黄金发展期。期间XRP市场份额和舆论热度大不如前,新兴稳定币和跨境支付方案已趁虚而入。可以说,瑞波是少数走上前台直接对抗美国监管的项目,但孤军奋战终究力量有限:没有更广泛政治联盟支撑,胜利也难掩失地之痛。相比之下,孙宇晨选择的并非司法缠斗,而是迂回结盟,这种灵活的政治手腕或许更为有效。
归根结底,ETH、SOL、ADA 等在本轮周期的失速,提醒我们技术乌托邦需要现实政治护航。那些沉迷于宏大技术愿景却忽视政治策略的项目,往往在监管和资本博弈中败下阵来。反观TRX和BNB,一方面技术上并无颠覆性创新(波场VM几乎就是以太坊的变体,BNB Chain 也高度模仿以太架构),但却凭借政治上的主动赢得了市场认可——市值和生态逆势增长就是明证。
结论:主权表达的市场化工具
“从哈耶克到稳定币主权”,我们见证的是货币形态和政治形态的双重演进。哈耶克式的货币竞争思想在加密时代照进现实:私人发行的数字货币在与法定货币争夺稳定性和信任,而这一过程本质上就是主权的竞争与表达。加密货币从来都不仅是冷冰冰的技术产品,更是不断演化的主权表达的市场化工具。每一条公链、每一个代币,都在尝试承载某种主权意志:要么是传统国家主权的延伸(例如各国央行数字货币CBDC),要么是新兴数字共同体的自治主权,要么像USDT/波场这样,成为无国籍资本的影子主权。
TRX 的兴起充分说明,加密项目要取得长足发展,技术功能固然重要,但更关键的是充当“底层政治协调物”的能力。波场并没有因为VM设计优雅而胜出,而是因为它契合了特定政治经济环境下的市场需求:在强监管与资本外流并存的亚洲新兴市场,在美欧银行体系排斥的一角,波场提供了一个去中心化的政治避难所,让资本在不同主权之间自由穿行。aljazeera.com波场作为稳定币和博彩应用的主要载体,被贴上了“不受待见”的标签,但这正是另一种形式的民意表达。市场选择波场,并赋予TRX正溢价,正是对其他缺乏政治承载力项目的集体投票。
“Crypto 即政治”并非说技术不重要,而是强调技术的成败取决于其所嵌入的政治坐标。当ETH坚持代码法则时,TRX已经学会了在代码之上玩转权力棋局;当SOL醉心于极限TPS时,BNB已将自己融入全球离岸金融版图。展望未来,加密世界的竞争将更加赤裸地表现为主权影响力的竞争。谁能更好地平衡各方主权、充当不同利益的代理人,谁就能在市场中取得优势。这或许是加密运动发展至今给我们的最大的启示:去中心化的终点,并非消弭政治,而是重构政治。加密货币让更多人有机会参与主权的创造和表达,而TRX等“政治积极型”项目的案例则证明了,在市场的维度上,政治选择和市场选择早已融为一体。

2025-06-05 05:45:02TRX 资源冻结式 Staking 与用户结构演化:对价格发现机制的影响分析
引言
TRX(波场币)作为波场 TRON 区块链的原生代币,因其独特的“冻结换资源”式 staking 模型而呈现出不同于传统公链的用户结构演变轨迹。这种机制在不同发展阶段吸引了截然不同类型的用户,从早期高度集中的机构持有者,到中期大量利用资源冻结套利的灰色产业,再到近期随着合规压力下资产向零散用户转移所形成的更广泛持有群体。本文将深入分析这一用户结构的演变历程,以及这种变化如何潜在影响 TRX 的市场价格发现机制。我们将按照时间脉络探讨以下问题:
-
初期设计:波场最初的 staking 模型如何偏向“对公场景”(如交易所间结算、机构资源调配),导致早期 TRX 资金和投票权集中度极高?
-
灰产利用:灰色产业(电信诈骗、网络赌博、地下钱庄等)如何利用 TRX “冻结换能量”机制降低 USDT 等稳定币转账成本,在波场上形成中期稳定的使用者群体?
-
用户下沉:随着各大交易所面临日益严格的合规压力,这些灰产地址如何将资金转移给“无交易所”通道的散户和小型平台账户,导致 TRX 使用权和持仓逐步向更广泛的普通用户渗透?
-
价格发现影响:这种持币结构的变化是否可能引导“零售价格发现”,即当大量散户持有 TRX 时,是否会对价格走势产生聚合影响(类似 GameStop 股票或 meme 币的散户抱团现象)?
-
链上数据演化:若数据支持,我们将呈现 TRX 持仓结构在链上的历史演变情况(如交易所热钱包占比、已知灰产地址占比、散户地址占比等),借助 Nansen、Lookonchain、Arkham、Dune 等分析工具的公开数据来说明上述趋势。
接下来,将从背景入手介绍波场 TRX 的 staking 机制设计及其早期影响,然后依据链上数据和行为证据分阶段分析用户结构转变,结合博弈论视角讨论价格发现机制,最后给出结论和展望。
背景:TRX 资源冻结型 Staking 模型与早期集中化
波场 TRON 于 2018 年主网上线,采用 委托权益证明(DPoS) 共识机制,其核心是 资源冻结(质押)换取网络资源和权益 的模式cryptorank.io。用户可以冻结一定数量的 TRX 以获取 带宽(用于普通交易)和 能量(用于智能合约操作)的配额,从而用资源抵扣交易手续费cryptorank.io。此外,冻结 TRX 还能获得 Tron Power(投票权),用于参与超级代表(Super Representatives,SR)节点的选举,从而分享出块奖励和投票奖励。这一机制本质上鼓励大量持币并长期冻结,以换取低成本交易和治理权。
TRX 早期的经济设计和应用场景明显偏向**“大户”和“机构”。首先,TRX 在 2017 年 ICO 分发时就有相当集中度——总发行1000亿枚中,约40%面向公开发售,15%私募,35%由项目方保留cryptorank.io。项目方(波场基金会)及早期投资人一开始就掌握了近一半的代币供应量。其次,在 DPoS 模式下,持币多者在投票治理中掌握更大权力,早期27个超级代表节点的投票由少数巨鲸地址主导。波场联合创始人、前 CTO 陈志强曾直言:“TRON 的代币分布是中心化的,超级代表是中心化的”cointelegraph.com;前27个超级代表节点拥有超过1.7亿票数,其中大部分受波场官方控制,普通散户的投票几乎无法左右结果cointelegraph.com。这意味着网络治理和出块权高度集中在项目方和早期大户手中**,staking 机制对中小持币者参与并不友好。这种局面导致 TRX 在生态早期呈现出明显的寡头格局。
更重要的是,波场团队有意将 TRX 打造成 高吞吐低成本的链上结算网络,这吸引了交易所和机构用户的青睐。2019年,创始人孙宇晨敏锐地抓住 交易所间稳定币跨链转账 的需求:由于以太坊网络手续费高、速度慢,交易所间结算 USDT 等稳定币成本很高,而波场上的 TRC20-USDT 转账费用极低、确认快theblockbeats.info。孙宇晨当即采取激进补贴策略,动用波场超级节点的挖矿收益,投入数亿元人民币补贴 TRC20-USDT 的充提手续费,在各大交易所间推广波场作为USDT转账的介质theblockbeats.info。据报道,当时通过波场网络充提 USDT 的用户可以享受相当于16%\~30%的收益(手续费返还优惠),极大刺激了交易所采用波场网络theblockbeats.info。这一系列措施使 TRC20版 USDT 的流通量和交易量在短时间内飙升,波场迅速取代以太坊成为 USDT 最主要的发行和转移平台。交易所和场外结算机构成为 TRX 生态的核心参与者:他们大量持有并冻结 TRX 来获取能量用于大额稳定币转账,或者直接利用波场网络进行跨所清算。这奠定了 TRX 早期资金和使用的高度机构化、集中化特征:头部交易所和项目方持仓占比极高,散户持有比例相对很低。
图:2024年初 TRX 持币分布的集中度。数据显示前10大地址合计持有约31.6%的供应量,前500大地址合计持有约85.5%的供应cryptorank.io。这印证了波场生态早期的持币高度集中在少数机构和巨鲸手中。
综上,波场 TRX 通过独特的冻结换资源机制,将手续费成本内化为持币收益,迎合了交易所、支付清算等对公场景对廉价高速链上转账的需求。在2018-2019年间,这一定位成功吸引了大量机构资金,但也造成了代币分布和治理权的高度集中。这是 TRX 用户结构演化的起点:以机构和巨鲸为主体的集中式持仓格局。
链上数据与行为层分析
随着波场网络逐步发展,TRX 的用户结构并未一成不变。链上数据和使用者行为表明,TRX 的持有者构成经历了从集中到扩散的动态演化,大致可划分为以下阶段:
初期阶段:机构主导的集中持仓
在主网上线后的早期(2018\~2019年),TRX 的持仓和使用主要集中在交易所、基金会等少数主体。从链上持币分布看,2019年时 TRX 前5个地址持有全网一半以上代币供应量,前10名地址接近60%(包括波场基金会及创始团队地址、少数大交易所的钱包等)cryptorank.io。即便到2025年中,集中度仍然较高——据统计前10大持币者仍合计拥有约25%的供应ccn.com,其中最大的单一地址占比超过8%ccn.com(推测为波场基金会或主要交易所冷钱包)。可见在初期,头部持有者在供应中占据主导。这种格局的形成,一方面源自前述代币分发和 DPoS 机制让项目方及早期投资人持有巨量筹码;另一方面,交易所为提供波场网络USDT充提现也大量囤积并冻结 TRX 获取带宽/能量,从而自身成为持币大户。
链上行为数据显示,交易所地址在 TRX 交易活动中占相当权重。大量 TRX 被冻结在交易所热/冷钱包用于日常为用户支付交易费用或资源租借。例如,币安在2019年直接成为波场超级代表节点之一,拥有全网超过一半以上的超级代表选票,当时就反映出交易所对 TRX 生态的深度介入coinmarketcap.comcointelegraph.com。总的来说,初期阶段 TRX 的用例主要是交易所间结算的媒介和赚取投票收益的质押资产,对应的用户主要是大宗资金持有者(交易所、基金会、早期投资人)。普通散户在这一阶段对 TRX 的参与度有限,无论持仓量还是交易笔数占比都很低。价格发现也主要由这些“大玩家”驱动——他们有能力通过场外交易或协议控制市场供给,从而较大程度上主导 TRX 的价格走向。
中期阶段:灰产经济的稳定使用者崛起
2019年至2021年后,随着波场网络的稳定运行和 USDT 等稳定币在波场上的广泛流通,一个意想不到的用户群体开始在 TRX 生态中扮演重要角色:灰产经济体。这里所指的灰产包括电信网络诈骗、网络赌博平台、地下钱庄洗钱团伙等非法或游走在法律灰色地带的组织。这些团体发现,波场的**“冻结 TRX 换能量”机制非常适合他们大规模、频繁地转移资金:通过持有并冻结一定量的 TRX,他们可以几乎免费地在波场链上无限次转账 USDT** 等代币linqihuishou.com。相比在以太坊等公链上高昂的 Gas 费用,波场提供的这种低成本转账渠道对灰产资金具有巨大吸引力。
联合国毒品和犯罪办公室(UNODC)的一份报告指出,在东南亚地区从事洗钱和诈骗的犯罪团伙偏好使用波场链上的 USDT 作为转移资产的工具dlnews.com。报告称,仅在截至2022年9月的一年间,就有逾170亿美元等值的 USDT 涉及非法交易所、地下洗钱等活动dlnews.comdlnews.com。波场因其匿名性强、转账快且成本近乎为零,成为这些团伙的“首选”网络dlnews.com。另一份调查也揭示,使用波场 USDT 的网络赌博和洗钱架构俨然形成了一个平行的地下银行系统protos.com。不法分子往往在国内收取现金,通过OTC渠道换成波场 USDT,在链上层层划转,最后在境外兑换回法币完成洗钱3e97756f-e20a-4497-8bc2-57f45e005c8a.baidu.scalaris-eci.com。
灰产大规模涌入波场带来了 TRX 生态的中期用户结构转变:虽然这些团伙的主要目的是利用 USDT 等稳定币,但为了降低成本他们必须持有一定数量的 TRX 来支付手续费或获取能量。这就意味着一批新的持币群体——灰产地址——开始稳定持有和使用 TRX。链上可以观察到许多可疑地址经常冻结大量 TRX,然后进行频繁的 USDT 转账操作。这些地址往往关联着诈骗资金、黑钱,通过分析工具已被标记为高风险。在波场交易笔数中,这些灰产相关地址的交易占有相当比例,它们维系着庞大的跨境资金流。dlnews.comprotos.com
值得注意的是,灰产用户的TRX持有行为具有“两面性”:一方面,他们持有 TRX 完全是出于工具用途,对 TRX 价格本身并不敏感,往往在完成资金转移后就会解冻并抛售 TRX(换回稳定币或法币)。因此,灰产用户的存在为 TRX 提供了持续的基础交易需求,但同时他们也可能对价格形成抛压。另一方面,由于这部分需求庞大且相对稳定(例如地下钱庄每天都有大额 USDT 要汇出),某种程度上托起了 TRX 的链上活跃度,甚至提高了网络的基础价值支撑。到2024年,波场上 USDT 的流通量已经超过以太坊,占到 USDT 总供应的一半以上cointelegraph.com;波场每日处理的稳定币转账金额高达数百亿美元,全球所有稳定币交易量中近30%通过波场网络完成coindesk.comcoindesk.com。在这些惊人的数字背后,灰产资金不可小觑。
综上,中期阶段 TRX 用户结构从单纯的机构主导,演变为**“机构+灰产”双重主导**格局。灰产经济成为 TRX 生态中隐形但重要的参与者,为 TRX 提供了源源不断的交易量和实用需求。然而,这种需求带有很强的功利性,在正常市场中往往难以转化为对 TRX 价格的主动支撑。
转型阶段:合规压力与持币群体下沉
进入2023-2024年,全球监管环境对加密行业(尤其是交易所)日趋严格,大型中心化交易所纷纷加强了 KYC/AML(反洗钱) 审查。这对利用交易所渠道“进出”资金的灰产团伙造成了沉重打击:大量涉嫌非法的地址被交易所列入黑名单冻结,稳定币发行方 Tether 也开始配合执法,冻结了部分波场网络上的可疑 USDT 账户cointelegraph.comcointelegraph.com。
图:由波场、Tether 与 TRM Labs 于2024年8月成立的“T3”金融犯罪联合行动小组,自成立以来已冻结超过1.26亿美元涉案 USDTcointelegraph.com。其中近一半涉及洗钱,另有相当比例涉及投资诈骗cointelegraph.com。这一行动反映出监管合规压力下,波场网络上大额非法资金池正受到打击。面对这种压力,灰产资金的流转模式开始转变。
随着“大额、集中”的灰产资金在主流交易所难以脱身,这些团伙被迫改变策略,更加依赖非交易所渠道来“出清”资金。他们开始将大宗资金拆分,通过场外交易(OTC)网络或小型换汇平台,转移给众多零散的个人地址。例如,一个诈骗团伙可能将上百万 USDT 分拆成上千笔小额转账,分别发给成百上千个个人钱包;这些个人再通过点对点方式把 USDT 换成现金。在中国等地破获的地下钱庄案件中,就发现犯罪团伙通过海量的个人数字钱包收款,以规避大额交易监控3e97756f-e20a-4497-8bc2-57f45e005c8a.baidu.scalaris-eci.com。波场网络的低费率使得**“大拆小”式的分散转账成为可能且经济**。
这一过程中,TRX 的使用者结构出现了**“下沉”**。原先主要由灰产团伙自己持有的 TRX(用于支付手续费或冻结换能量),现在逐步分散到大量普通用户手中。很多此前从未直接接触过波场的散户,因为参与OTC交易或接受灰产资金而开始持有少量 TRX。例如,一些东南亚地区的务工人员通过地下渠道汇款,在接收USDT时被要求使用波场网络的钱包,这意味着他们需要持有一点 TRX 来支付手续费。同样地,一些小型境外换汇商为了承接灰产的出金业务,也开始积累 TRX 以便快速完成批量转账。
链上数据支持了这种“去中心化”的趋势:CryptoQuant 的研究指出,截至2024年7月,波场网络上小额持有者(“散户”)的数量已经超过5260万,占据 USDT 转账笔数的28%左右newsdirect.com。也就是说,有数千万计的普通用户活跃在波场上进行小额交易。波场官方数据显示,到2025年初,总用户账户数已突破3亿,日活跃地址超过100万,每日小额稳定币交易数百万笔coindesk.comnewsdirect.com。这些数字表明,TRX 与波场网络的使用已深入到广泛的民间层面,不再只是大户的专属。
从持币结构看,虽然大户依然握有大量筹码,但相比早期,中小地址合计持有的比例有所上升。前文提到截至2025年5月前10名地址占供应约25%,而在更早时期这一数字一度超过30%cryptorank.ioccn.com。顶级持有者占比的下降意味着更多代币分散到了小持仓地址中。当然,大部分散户并非因为投资目的囤积 TRX,他们往往只持有满足转账所需的少量(比如几十个甚至几个 TRX用于手续费)。然而,当数以千万计的用户都持有哪怕少量 TRX 时,其总量也不可忽视。此外,一些原本为灰产服务的小平台、小型交易商,随着合规压力增加也可能选择转型,通过合法途径运营,这些玩家持有的 TRX 由“暗”转“明”,进一步增加了公开市场上的流通筹码。
**这一阶段的核心转变在于:TRX 的持有者基础变得空前广泛。**从链上身份看,除了交易所和已知灰产地址,普通散户地址在网络活动和持仓中的占比显著提高newsdirect.com。TRX 不再仅仅是机构间的结算工具或黑市的洗钱桥梁,它开始进入寻常用户的钱包,成为跨境汇款、支付和个人转账的一种选择。在非洲、中东等通货不稳定地区,波场 USDT 甚至被用作日常价值存储手段,TRX 则提供了必要的基础设施dlnews.com。这种下沉为 TRX 的市场生态带来了新的变量:当持币者从少数改为众多,价格发现的参与者结构也相应改变。
博弈模型讨论:散户崛起能否引导价格发现?
随着 TRX 持有和使用群体愈发多元化,一个关键问题浮出水面:如此广泛的散户参与,是否会改变 TRX 的价格发现机制,乃至引发类似 GameStop 或 meme 币那样的“散户聚合”行情? 从博弈论和市场微观结构角度,我们可以进行以下分析。
1. 定价权由大转小的再分配:在传统金融和早期加密市场中,少数大玩家(做市商、鲸鱼、机构)往往通过信息优势和资金优势主导价格。然而,当持仓分散到众多散户后,市场定价权力开始更平均地分配。如果散户群体足够活跃,他们的集体交易行为(买入或卖出)可以对价格产生显著影响。尤其在社交媒体发达的时代,散户可以通过舆论形成某种“共识预期”。例如,若大批散户相信“波场用户遍地开花将推高 TRX 价值”,他们可能趋于买入持有,从而真的推高价格——这类似于一种自证预期的动态。散户数量庞大且分散,单个看似微不足道,但**“乌合之众”在同步行动时可产生和巨鲸相媲美的资金量**。GameStop 股票之所以在2021年出现爆炸性逼空行情,就是因为数百万散户在网络论坛上形成合力,对抗华尔街空头。如果 TRX 的散户持有者也形成共同的看涨信念,可能出现交易行为的正反馈,推动价格快速上涨。
2. 网络效应与认知偏差:波场网络广泛的用户基础本身就会带来网络效应。每增加一位用户,TRX 的实用价值和潜在需求就略有提高。当数千万用户都在使用某个网络时,会产生一种“这么多人用,币价应该有支撑”的认知偏差。散户往往受“用户规模=价值”直觉影响而追涨。coindesk.comnewsdirect.com中的数据(每日超百万活跃地址、全球稳定币流通近三成经波场)可能被解读为 TRX 的基本面支撑,从而增强散户的持有信心。这种对基本面的再认知有别于灰产用户时期——灰产虽使用波场但不会宣扬其价值,而普通用户的使用反而可能转化为对 TRX 的口碑传播和正面情绪。由此,一个正向循环可能形成:用户基础扩大 → 市场认可度提高 → 新投资者涌入 → 价格上升 → 吸引更多用户。
3. 大户与散户的博弈:当然,散户行情能否持续,还取决于大户(早期鲸鱼、机构)的行为反应。一种可能情景是类似meme股/币:当散户推高价格时,大户出于逐利反而顺势助涨,甚至刻意制造舆论迎合散户,以便自己高位出货。如果 TRX 出现快速拉升,早期持有巨量筹码的老玩家可能选择逢高抛售套现,给上涨造成阻力。这一点在博弈上体现为:散户试图通过一致行动改变定价,但理性的大利润持有者会反向博弈,利用散户情绪行情实现盈利。TRX 目前前几大地址仍掌握巨额筹码,他们的抛压能力依旧很强。如果没有新的强力资金接盘,大户的出货可能使散户难以持续控盘。GameStop等案例中,散户成功逼空的前提之一是大户被困住无法立即抛售(空头被迫买入、公司高管锁仓等)。而在TRX市场,波场基金会、交易所等钱包并无锁定约束,完全可以利用流动性高点出售。因此,散户要引导价格发现,必须面对大户博弈的反作用力。
4. 市场情绪和触发事件:散户聚合行为往往需要一个导火索或叙事。GameStop有“对抗华尔街”的叙事,Dogecoin等meme币有马斯克等名人站台或者社区狂欢。TRX 虽有庞大用户,但缺乏类似的戏剧性话题来凝聚炒作热情。Justin Sun 虽然善于营销(如天价拍巴菲特午餐等),但这些年 TRX 价格相对稳健,没有出现过山车式暴涨暴跌,说明市场对其噱头相对理性。如果未来出现某个事件——例如波场生态中诞生一个现象级应用、或哪位投资大佬高调支持 TRX ——这可能点燃散户的想象力,触发一波情绪行情。在博弈模型上,这类似于公共知识的形成:散户需要确信“大家都会买”,而导火索事件恰恰提供了这样的公共信号。如果信号足够强烈,散户预期可协调,形成簇拥买入的纳什均衡。反之,在缺乏信号的平静环境中,散户各自为战,价格更多反映基本面与存量大户操作,不易自发聚合。
5. 零售价格发现的迹象:目前观察,TRX 市场已经显现出一些零售主导的特征。例如,2023-2024年熊市中,TRX 价格相对抗跌且波动率较低,或许与大量散户被动持币(用于手续费而非投机)有关——这部分需求相对刚性,不会因市场恐慌而大量抛售,反而稳定了价格。另一方面,在牛市来临时,这批散户是否会转为主动买入、推高价格,还有待验证。截至2025年年中,TRX 的市场走势总体平稳,CCN 分析指数给其势能评分仅34(满分100),显示动能偏弱ccn.com。这说明尚未出现 meme 式狂热,散户更多是被动参与者。但随着波场版稳定币生态的进一步扩张以及监管环境变化,不排除散户的角色从“被动用币者”转变为“主动投资者”。如果那一刻到来,TRX 的价格发现模式可能从当前偏基本面/机构驱动,转向更加依赖大众情绪和网络舆情。
综上,在博弈论视角下,TRX 用户结构的演变确实为零售价格发现创造了条件:更分散的持仓、更广泛的市场参与,使价格形成过程潜在地更具民主化色彩。然而,能否出现类似 GameStop 或 meme 币的极端行情,还取决于散户共识凝聚程度以及大户的策略反应。目前迹象表明 TRX 市场仍处于相对均衡状态,散户广布带来的更多是流动性提升和韧性增强,而非泡沫炒作。当然,市场结构一旦改变,其影响往往非线性——未来某个时点,不可忽视数以千万计散户的力量可能展现。
结论
TRX 代币由于其资源冻结式 staking 模式,在过去数年间经历了独特的用户结构演化:
-
早期,波场刻意迎合高频结算等对公场景,导致 TRX 持币和治理高度集中于项目方、交易所等少数机构账户,散户影响微乎其微。价格发现主要由这些大主体决定,市场呈现中心化特征。
-
中期,随着波场成为稳定币(尤其 USDT)的重要转移网络,各类灰色产业大量涌入利用“冻结换能量”降低转账成本。灰产地址成为 TRX 生态中不可忽视的稳定使用者群体,带来了巨大的链上交易量和实际需求。但这部分用户对 TRX 价格并无投机兴趣,其行为在提高网络实用性的同时,也给市场抛压埋下隐患。
-
近期,全球合规打击使得灰产资金从大交易所撤出,被迫通过无数散户和小型渠道分散流动。由此,TRX 的使用权和持有量开始向更广泛的人群下沉,数以千万计的普通用户卷入波场网络的使用。TRX 的持币结构正变得相对分散,散户在链上交易和持仓中的占比明显上升。
-
对价格发现的影响,可以概括为“基础盘扩大,定价权下放”。更广泛的用户基础意味着 TRX 价格受到的力量更加多元:除了少数大户博弈,还受到千千万万小持有者情绪和行为的影响。散户群体有可能在某些条件下形成合力影响价格(例如共同的看涨预期或外部刺激事件),这为 TRX 带来了出现零售驱动行情的可能性。然而,目前 TRX 市场尚未经历真正的散户抱团狂热,其价格依然相对平稳,说明机构和基本面因素仍占主导。
-
链上持仓结构演变总体符合上述趋势:从交易所/基金会占主导,逐步过渡到多元参与者并存。尽管确切的链上占比数据仍在完善(可借助 Nansen、Dune 等进一步分析交易所热钱包持仓、标记的诈骗地址持仓、非风险地址的小额持仓等),现有资料表明前十大地址持仓比例已从超过30%降至约25%,而小额地址数以亿计增长,对网络活动贡献巨大cryptorank.ionewsdirect.com。
综合而言,TRX 的资源冻结 staking 模式在不经意间促成了一条特殊的发展路径:从精英走向草根。这种用户结构的下沉为 TRX 带来了使用面的繁荣,同时也打开了价格发现的新篇章。未来,如果散户力量能够被某种契机调动,TRX 不排除出现类似meme行情的可能;即便没有极端事件,更多元的持仓结构也意味着价格将更真实地反映广泛市场的供需和预期。对于波场生态来说,如何平衡好“大户—灰产—散户”三类持币者的利益,将是决定 TRX 市值能走多远、走多稳的关键。波场的故事,正在从幕后走向台前,从少数走向大众,这或许正是去中心化精神的一种体现。

2025-06-05 03:09:02The Algorithmic Pursuit of Connection: A Five-Book Journey into the Self
As a researcher, hitting my thirties and the winding down of a significant project prompted a crucial re-evaluation of life's latter half. While I'd successfully applied probabilistic control theory to one-on-one interactions, the complexities of group dynamics remained a persistent challenge. My recent dive into five diverse books on human relationships inadvertently became a profound journey of self-discovery, fundamentally reshaping my perspective on social connections.
Neil Strauss: A Mirror Reflecting the Self's Evolution
Neil Strauss's The Truth resonated deepest among my recent reads. The author's battle with sex addiction uncomfortably mirrored my own past struggles: the fragile self-esteem stemming from rejection, the hubris born of early successes, and the tendency to view women as mere objects of manipulation. It felt eerily prescient, a glimpse into a potential future.
Yet, I found myself arriving at Strauss's ultimate conclusion – the paramount importance of self-preparation and community – far sooner than he did. This acceleration wasn't accidental; it was the result of intense focus on individual experiences, meticulously replayed and analyzed in my mind. The book, therefore, served less as a revelation and more as a powerful validation of my own journey of introspection and root-cause analysis.
Quantifying Connection: The Promise and Limits of Mathematical Models
Hannah Fry's The Mathematics of Love offered a kindred spirit in its attempt to quantify human relationships. While I appreciate the mathematical lens, Fry's models primarily concern dyadic relationships (N=2), relying on relatively simple systems of two-variable ordinary differential equations. For me, these are akin to linear models, sufficient only up to a certain point. Beyond N=4, the dependencies become exponentially complex.
My own pursuit extends to understanding and optimizing group dynamics within complex systems. This involves multi-variable problems (N $\ge$ 3) and the application of network theory, a far more sophisticated approach. Human collectives, after all, are systems of nodes and edges, where information propagates in predictable ways. My focus is on deriving optimal behavioral controls within these intricate frameworks.
Conversely, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus initially struck me as bordering on conspiracy theory. However, its latter half proved unexpectedly useful. Its clear enumeration of male and female desires, and its articulation of common points of conflict, presented a practical template for communication styles. In a systemic view, this serves as a rudimentary, yet functional, interface design for complex social interactions.
A Dispassionate Critique of Relationship Dogma
My drive for efficiency and systematic understanding led to a rather blunt assessment of certain relationship classics. The New Science of Adult Attachment felt disorganized and frustratingly anecdotal. Lacking a coherent theoretical framework, it burdened the reader with deciphering meaning from a jumble of examples. Its inefficiency was, frankly, its most irksome flaw.
Similarly, Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People struck me as closer to pseudoscience than social science. Its plethora of specific anecdotes obscured any underlying principle. Given my deep engagement with social engineering – a discipline that systematically and practically analyzes human interaction – Carnegie's work appeared largely irrelevant and inefficient. From my perspective, which views humans as objective systems to be analyzed with mathematical rigor, such unstructured approaches hold little value.
The Unveiling of a Core Principle: Humans as Systems
This intensive reading period solidified my most crucial insight: humans, at their core, are systems. This understanding allows for a dispassionate, methodical approach to human collectives, mitigating unnecessary emotional friction.
This revelation has sharply refined my future learning trajectory. I'm now prioritizing foundational theories like graph theory and network theory over anecdotal accounts of human behavior. By mastering these theoretical underpinnings, I aim to precisely model complex human interactions as systems of nodes and edges, enabling the derivation of optimal behavioral controls within communities.
My choice of the term "target for capture" for individuals stems from a personal aversion to perceived equality in certain human interactions, a mechanism to avoid cognitive dissonance. This rational approach, I believe, is key to cultivating secure attachment styles – relationships demonstrably sustainable in the long term. My philosophy is to strategically approach the initial engagement, then transition to a stable, enduring connection. It's a calculated, dispassionate method for achieving desired relational outcomes.
Ultimately, this period of reading wasn't just about acquiring knowledge; it was a profound journey of self-discovery, clarifying my personal frameworks for navigating life's complexities and forging meaningful, yet strategically managed, connections.

2025-06-05 03:02:03The Russian banking giant introduces financial instruments linked to Bitcoin for qualified investors.
Russia’s largest commercial banking institution, Sber, has made its entry into the Bitcoin space by unveiling a bond product tied to the asset.
Sber has officially launched its structured financial instrument that mirrors the price performance of Bitcoin alongside fluctuations in the dollar-ruble exchange rate. The product is already available to qualified investors through the over-the-counter (OTC) market, with plans to list it on the Moscow Exchange in the near future.
Formerly known as Sberbank, the institution stated in a May 30 announcement that the listing would provide transparency, liquidity, and convenience for a wide range of professional investors. This structured approach will allow investors to benefit both from Bitcoin’s appreciation in dollars and from the strengthening of the US dollar against the Russian ruble, the bank suggests.
The lender also announced plans to expand its crypto offering through the SberInvestments platform, introducing exchange-traded products that provide exposure to digital assets. The first product will be a Bitcoin futures instrument, scheduled for listing on June 4, coinciding with its official launch by the Moscow Exchange.
Sber’s initiative follows the authorization granted by Russia’s Central Bank on May 28, which permitted financial institutions to offer specific crypto-related financial instruments to accredited investors. However, the direct offering of cryptocurrencies remains prohibited.
Meanwhile, T-Bank (formerly Tinkoff Bank) launched an investment product linked to Bitcoin’s price, branding it a “smart asset” issued through Russia’s state-backed tokenization platform Atomyze.
According to the Russian Central Bank’s report for the first quarter of 2025, Russian residents hold approximately 827 billion rubles ($9.2 billion) in cryptocurrencies on centralized exchanges. Inflows into Russian crypto platforms surged by 51%, reaching 7.3 trillion rubles ($81.5 billion) over the same period.

2025-06-05 02:59:12Bitcoin Miners Pivot to Power AI Boom, Offering a Lifeline to America’s Data-Center Crunch
A fresh Morgan Stanley analysis warns that U.S. data-center demand will balloon to ≈65 GW between 2025 and 2028—about 45 GW more than the grid can currently supply. One solution the bank singles out: repurposing the oversized, transformer-fed campuses originally built for Bitcoin mining. (investopedia.com)
Several public miners are already moving. Riot Platforms has begun buying extra land near its Corsicana, TX complex and hired a veteran data-center executive to head a “high-performance compute” division aimed squarely at AI customers. (riotplatforms.com, coindesk.com) Bitfarms, meanwhile, is marketing North-American sites to hyperscalers after hiring consultants to evaluate GPU-ready retrofits. (reuters.com)
Industry analysts say the pivot is existential. April 2024’s fourth halving chopped block rewards to 3.125 BTC, shrinking miner revenue just as network difficulty hit record highs. By leasing idle megawatts—or fully converting halls—operators lock in dollar-denominated cash-flows while retaining the option to resume mining if margins rebound.
“Miners spent the last cycle amassing land, switchgear and transformers. AI is about to pay them for it.” —Greg Miller, Citizens JMP (research note quoted in multiple sector briefings)
Why it matters
- Grid relief: Every gigawatt shifted from speculative hashing to AI compute eases ERCOT’s peak-load stress and shortens transmission-upgrade timelines. (datacenterdynamics.com)
- Cap-ex savings for cloud firms: Retrofitting a mining hall is months faster—and currently 30-40 % cheaper—than green-field construction, analysts estimate. (govtech.com)
- Dual-revenue model: Miners keep upside to future BTC price spikes while monetizing power capacity today.
The roadblocks
- Cooling retrofits: Air-cooled ASIC barns must be re-engineered for liquid-cooled GPU clusters, at up to \$3 M per MW in conversion costs. (driehaus.com)
- Policy risk in Texas: Lawmakers are weighing caps on industrial load-flex credits after recent grid-stress events, which could dent miners’ ancillary revenue. (dallasnews.com)
Bottom line: Once-beleaguered Bitcoin mines may become critical real estate for the surging AI sector—turning yesterday’s crypto boomtowns into tomorrow’s compute hubs while giving miners a much-needed new income stream.
