A monthly newsletter by The 256 Foundation

May 2025

Introduction:

Welcome to the fifth newsletter produced by The 256 Foundation! April was a jam-packed month for the Foundation with events ranging from launching three grant projects to the first official Ember One release. The 256 Foundation has been laser focused on our mission to dismantle the proprietary mining empire, signing off on a productive month with the one-finger salute to the incumbent mining cartel.

News:

April 7: the first of a few notable news items that relate to the Samourai Wallet case, the US Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, issued a memorandum titled “Ending Regulation By Prosecution”. The memo makes the DOJ’s position on the matter crystal clear, stating; “Specifically, the Department will no longer target virtual currency exchanges, mixing and tumbling services, and offline wallets for the acts of their end users or unwitting violations of regulations…”. However, despite the clarity from the DOJ, the SDNY (sometimes referred to as the “Sovereign District” for it’s history of acting independently of the DOJ) has yet to budge on dropping the charges against the Samourai Wallet developers. Many are baffled at the SDNY’s continued defiance of the Trump Administration’s directives, especially in light of the recent suspensions and resignations that swept through the SDNY office in the wake of several attorneys refusing to comply with the DOJ’s directive to drop the charges against New York City Mayor, Eric Adams. There is speculation that the missing piece was Trump’s pick to take the helm at the SDNY, Jay Clayton, who was yet to receive his Senate confirmation and didn’t officially start in his new role until April 22. In light of the Blanche Memo, on April 29, the prosecution and defense jointly filed a letter requesting additional time for the prosecution to determine it’s position on the matter and decide if they are going to do the right thing, comply with the DOJ, and drop the charges. Catch up on what’s at stake in this case with an appearance by Diverter on the Unbounded Podcast from April 24, the one-year anniversary of the Samourai Wallet developer’s arrest. This is the most important case facing Bitcoiners as the precedence set in this matter will have ripple effects that touch all areas of the ecosystem. The logic used by SDNY prosecutors argues that non-custodial wallet developers transfer money in the same way a frying pan transfers heat but does not “control” the heat. Essentially saying that facilitating the transfer of funds on behalf of the public by any means constitutes money transmission and thus requires a money transmitter license. All non-custodial wallets (software or hardware), node operators, and even miners would fall neatly into these dangerously generalized and vague definitions. If the SDNY wins this case, all Bitcoiners lose. Make a contribution to the defense fund here.

April 11: solo miner with ~230Th/s solves Block #891952 on Solo CK Pool, bagging 3.11 BTC in the process. This will never not be exciting to see a regular person with a modest amount of hashrate risk it all and reap all the mining reward. The more solo miners there are out there, the more often this should occur.

April 15: B10C publishes new article on mining centralization. The article analyzes the hashrate share of the currently five biggest pools and presents a Mining Centralization Index. The results demonstrate that only six pools are mining more than 95% of the blocks on the Bitcoin Network. The article goes on to explain that during the period between 2019 and 2022, the top two pools had ~35% of the network hashrate and the top six pools had ~75%. By December 2023 those numbers grew to the top two pools having 55% of the network hashrate and the top six having ~90%. Currently, the top six pools are mining ~95% of the blocks.

[IMG-002] Mining Centralization Index by @0xB10C

B10C concludes the article with a solution that is worth highlighting: “More individuals home-mining with small miners help too, however, the home-mining hashrate is currently still negligible compared to the industrial hashrate.”

April 15: As if miner centralization and proprietary hardware weren’t reason enough to focus on open-source mining solutions, leave it to Bitmain to release an S21+ firmware update that blocks connections to OCEAN and Braiins pools. This is the latest known sketchy development from Bitmain following years of shady behavior like Antbleed where miners would phone home, Covert ASIC Boost where miners could use a cryptographic trick to increase efficiency, the infamous Fork Wars, mining empty blocks, and removing the SD card slots. For a mining business to build it’s entire operation on a fragile foundation like the closed and proprietary Bitmain hardware is asking for trouble. Bitcoin miners need to remain flexible and agile and they need to be able to adapt to changes instantly – the sort of freedoms that only open-source Bitcoin mining solutions are bringing to the table.

Free & Open Mining Industry Developments:

The development will not stop until Bitcoin mining is free and open… and then it will get even better. Innovators did not disappoint in April, here are nine note-worthy events:

April 5: 256 Foundation officially launches three more grant projects. These will be covered in detail in the Grant Project Updates section but April 5 was a symbolic day to mark the official start because of the 6102 anniversary. A reminder of the asymmetric advantage freedom tech like Bitcoin empowers individuals with to protect their rights and freedoms, with open-source development being central to those ends.

April 5: Low profile ICE Tower+ for the Bitaxe Gamma 601 introduced by @Pleb_Style featuring four heat pipes, 2 copper shims, and a 60mm Noctua fan resulting in up to 2Th/s. European customers can pick up the complete upgrade kit from the Pleb Style online store for $93.00.

IMG-003] Pleb Style ICE Tower+ upgrade kit

April 8: Solo Satoshi spells out issues with Bitaxe knockoffs, like Lucky Miner, in a detailed article titled The Hidden Cost of Bitaxe Clones. This concept can be confusing for some people initially, Bitaxe is open-source, right? So anyone can do whatever they want… right? Based on the specific open-source license of the Bitaxe hardware, CERN-OHL-S, and the firmware, GPLv3, derivative works are supposed to make the source available. Respecting the license creates a feed back loop where those who benefit from the open-source work of those who came before them contribute back their own modifications and source files to the open-source community so that others can benefit from the new developments. Unfortunately, when the license is disrespected what ends up happening is that manufacturers make undocumented changes to the components in the hardware and firmware which yields unexpected results creating a number of issues like the Bitaxe overheating, not connecting to WiFi, or flat out failure. This issue gets further compounded when the people who purchased the knockoffs go to a community support forum, like OSMU, for help. There, a number of people rack their brains and spend their valuable time trying to replicate the issues only to find out that they cannot replicate the issues since the person who purchased the knockoff has something different than the known Bitaxe model and the distributor who sold the knockoff did not document those changes. The open-source licenses are maintaining the end-users’ freedom to do what they want but if the license is disrespected then that freedom vanishes along with details about whatever was changed. There is a list maintained on the Bitaxe website of legitimate distributors who uphold the open-source licenses, if you want to buy a Bitaxe, use this list to ensure the open-source community is being supported instead of leeched off of.

April 8: The Mempool Open Source Project v3.2.0 launches with a number of highlights including a new UTXO bubble chart, address poisoning detection, and a tx/PSBT preview feature. The GitHub repo can be found here if you want to self-host an instance from your own node or you can access the website here. The Mempool Open Source Project is a great blockchain explorer with a rich feature set and helpful visualization tools.

[IMG-004] Address poisoning example

April 8: @k1ix publishes bitaxe-raw, a firmware for the ESP32S3 found on Bitaxes which enables the user to send and receive raw bytes over USB serial to and from the Bitaxe. This is a helpful tool for research and development and a tool that is being leveraged at The 256 Foundation for helping with the Mujina miner firmware development. The bitaxe-raw GitHub repo can be found here.

April 14: Rev.Hodl compiles many of his homestead-meets-mining adaptations including how he cooks meat sous-vide style, heats his tap water to 150°F, runs a hashing space heater, and how he upgraded his clothes dryer to use Bitcoin miners. If you are interested in seeing some creative and resourceful home mining integrations, look no further. The fact that Rev.Hodl was able to do all this with closed-source proprietary Bitcoin mining hardware makes a very bullish case for the innovations coming down the pike once the hardware and firmware are open-source and people can gain full control over their mining appliances.

April 21: Hashpool explained on The Home Mining Podcast, an innovative Bitcoin mining pool development that trades mining shares for ecash tokens. The pool issues an “ehash” token for every submitted share, the pool uses ecash epochs to approximate the age of those shares in a FIFO order as they accrue value, a rotating key set is used to eventually expire them, and finally the pool publishes verification proofs for each epoch and each solved block. The ehash is provably not inflatable and payouts are similar to the PPLNS model. In addition to the maturity window where ehash tokens are accruing value, there is also a redemption window where the ehash tokens can be traded in to the mint for bitcoin. There is also a bitcoin++ presentation from earlier this year where @vnprc explains the architecture.

April 26: Boerst adds a new page on stratum.work for block template details, you can click on any mining pool and see the extended details and visualization of their current block template. Updates happen in real-time. The page displays all available template data including the OP_RETURN field and if the pool is merge mining, like with RSK, then that will be displayed too. Stratum dot work is a great project that offers helpful mining insights, be sure to book mark it if you haven’t already.

[IMG-005] New stratum.work live template page

April 27: Public Pool patches Nerdminer exploit that made it possible to create the impression that a user’s Nerdminer was hashing many times more than it actually was. This exploit was used by scammers trying to convince people that they had a special firmware for the Nerminer that would make it hash much better. In actuality, Public Pool just wasn’t checking to see if submitted shares were duplicates or not. The scammers would just tweak the Nerdminer firmware so that valid shares were getting submitted five times, creating the impression that the miner was hashing at five times the actual hashrate. Thankfully this has been uncovered by the open-source community and Public Pool quickly addressed it on their end.

Grant Project Updates:

Three grant projects were launched on April 5, Mujina Mining Firmware, Hydra Pool, and Libre Board. Ember One was the first fully funded grant and launched in November 2024 for a six month duration.

Ember One:

@skot9000 is the lead engineer on the Ember One and April 30 marked the conclusion of the first grant cycle after six months of development culminating in a standardized hashboard featuring a ~100W power consumption, 12-24v input voltage range, USB-C data communication, on-board temperature sensors, and a 125mm x 125mm formfactor. There are several Ember One versions on the road map, each with a different kind of ASIC chip but staying true to the standardized features listed above. The first Ember One, the 00 version, was built with the Bitmain BM1362 ASIC chips. The first official release of the Ember One, v3, is available here. v4 is already being worked on and will incorporate a few circuit safety mechanisms that are pretty exciting, like protecting the ASIC chips in the event of a power supply failure. The firmware for the USB adaptor is available here. Initial testing firmware for the Ember One 00 can be found here and full firmware support will be coming soon with Mujina. The Ember One does not have an on-board controller so a separate, USB connected, control board is required. Control board support is coming soon with the Libre Board. There is an in-depth schematic review that was recorded with Skot and Ryan, the lead developer for Mujina, you can see that video here. Timing for starting the second Ember One cycle is to be determined but the next version of the Ember One is planned to have the Intel BZM2 ASICs. Learn more at emberone.org

Mujina Mining Firmware:

@ryankuester is the lead developer for the Mujina firmware project and since the project launched on April 5, he has been working diligently to build this firmware from scratch in Rust. By using the bitaxe-raw firmware mentioned above, over the last month Ryan has been able to use a Bitaxe to simulate an Ember One so that he can start building the necessary interfaces to communicate with the range of sensors, ASICs, work handling, and API requests that will be necessary. For example, using a logic analyzer, this is what the first signs of life look like when communicating with an ASIC chip, the orange trace is a message being sent to the ASIC and the red trace below it is the ASIC responding [IMG-006]. The next step is to see if work can be sent to the ASIC and results returned. The GitHub repo for Mujina is currently set to private until a solid foundation has been built. Learn more at mujina.org

[IMG-006] First signs of life from an ASIC

Libre Board:

@Schnitzel is the lead engineer for the Libre Board project and over the last month has been modifying the Raspberry Pi Compute Module I/O Board open-source design to fit the requirements for this project. For example, removing one of the two HDMI ports, adding the 40-pin header, and adapting the voltage regulator circuit so that it can accept the same 12-24vdc range as the Ember One hashboards. The GitHub repo can be found here, although there isn’t much to look at yet as the designs are still in the works. If you have feature requests, creating an issue in the GitHub repo would be a good place to start. Learn more at libreboard.org

Hydra Pool:

@jungly is the lead developer for Hydra Pool and over the last month he has developed a working early version of Hydra Pool specifically for the upcoming Telehash #2. Forked from CK Pool, this early version has been modified so that the payout goes to the 256 Foundation bitcoin address automatically. This way, users who are supporting the funderaiser with their hashrate do not need to copy/paste in the bitcoin address, they can just use any vanity username they want. Jungly was also able to get a great looking statistics dashboard forked from CKstats and modify it so that the data is populated from the Hydra Pool server instead of website crawling. After the Telehash, the next steps will be setting up deployment scripts for running Hydra Pool on a cloud server, support for storing shares in a database, and adding PPLNS support. The 256 Foundation is only running a publicly accessible server for the Telehash and the long term goals for Hydra Pool are that the users host their own instance. The 256 Foundation has no plans on becoming a mining pool operator. The following Actionable Advice column shows you how you can help test Hydra Pool. The GitHub repo for Hydra Pool can be found here. Learn more at hydrapool.org

Actionable Advice:

The 256 Foundation is looking for testers to help try out Hydra Pool. The current instance is on a hosted bare metal server in Florida and features 64 cores and 128 GB of RAM. One tester in Europe shared that they were only experiencing ~70ms of latency which is good. If you want to help test Hydra Pool out and give any feedback, you can follow the directions below and join The 256 Foundation public forum on Telegram here.

The first step is to configure your miner so that it is pointed to the Hydra Pool server. This can look different depending on your specific miner but generally speaking, from the settings page you can add the following URL:

stratum+tcp://stratum.hydrapool.org:3333

On some miners, you don’t need the “stratum+tcp://” part or the port, “:3333”, in the URL dialog box and there may be separate dialog boxes for the port.

Use any vanity username you want, no need to add a BTC address. The test iteration of Hydra Pool is configured to payout to the 256 Foundation BTC address.

If your miner has a password field, you can just put “x” or “1234”, it doesn’t matter and this field is ignored.

Then save your changes and restart your miner. Here are two examples of what this can look like using a Futurebit Apollo and a Bitaxe:

[IMG-007] Apollo configured to Hydra Pool

[IMG-008] Bitaxe Configured to Hydra Pool

Once you get started, be sure to check stats.hydrapool.org to monitor the solo pool statistics.

[IMG-009] Ember One hashing to Hydra Pool

At the last Telehash there were over 350 entities pointing as much as 1.12Eh/s at the fundraiser at the peak. At the time the block was found there was closer to 800 Ph/s of hashrate. At this next Telehash, The 256 Foundation is looking to beat the previous records across the board. You can find all the Telehash details on the Meetup page here.

State of the Network:

Hashrate on the 14-day MA according to mempool.space increased from ~826 Eh/s to a peak of ~907 Eh/s on April 16 before cooling off and finishing the month at ~841 Eh/s, marking ~1.8% growth for the month.

[IMG-010] 2025 hashrate/difficulty chart from mempool.space

Difficulty was 113.76T at it’s lowest in April and 123.23T at it’s highest, which is a 8.3% increase for the month. But difficulty dropped with Epoch #444 just after the end of the month on May 3 bringing a -3.3% downward adjustment. All together for 2025 up to Epoch #444, difficulty has gone up ~8.5%.

According to the Hashrate Index, ASIC prices have flat-lined over the last month. The more efficient miners like the <19 J/Th models are fetching $17.29 per terahash, models between 19J/Th – 25J/Th are selling for $11.05 per terahash, and models >25J/Th are selling for $3.20 per terahash. You can expect to pay roughly $4,000 for a new-gen miner with 230+ Th/s.

[IMG-011] Miner Prices from Luxor’s Hashrate Index

Hashvalue over the month of April dropped from ~56,000 sats/Ph per day to ~52,000 sats/Ph per day, according to the new and improved Braiins Insights dashboard [IMG-012]. Hashprice started out at $46.00/Ph per day at the beginning of April and climbed to $49.00/Ph per day by the end of the month.

[IMG-012] Hashprice/Hashvalue from Braiins Insights

The next halving will occur at block height 1,050,000 which should be in roughly 1,063 days or in other words ~154,650 blocks from time of publishing this newsletter.

@ 51faaa77:2c26615b

There has been a lot of debate about a recent discussion on the mailing list and a pull request on the Bitcoin Core repository. The main two points are about whether a mempool policy regarding OP_RETURN outputs should be changed, and whether there should be a configuration option for node operators to set their own limit. There has been some controversy about the background and context of these topics and people are looking for more information. Please ask short (preferably one sentence) questions as top comments in this topic. @Murch, and maybe others, will try to answer them in a couple sentences. @Murch and myself have collected a few questions that we have seen being asked to start us off, but please add more as you see fit.

The Bitcoin network was designed to be secure, decentralized, and resistant to censorship. However, as its usage grows, an important challenge arises: scalability. This term refers to the network's ability to manage an increasing number of transactions without affecting performance or security. This challenge has sparked the speed dilemma, which involves balancing transaction speed with the preservation of decentralization and security that the blockchain or timechain provides.

Scalability is the ability of a system to increase its performance to meet higher demands. In the case of Bitcoin, this means processing a greater number of transactions per second (TPS) without compromising the network's core principles.

Currently, the Bitcoin network processes about 7 transactions per second, a number considered low compared to traditional systems, such as credit card networks, which can process thousands of transactions per second. This limit is directly due to the fixed block size (1 MB) and the average 10-minute interval for creating a new block in the blockchain or timechain.

The speed dilemma arises from the need to balance three essential elements: decentralization, security, and speed.

The Timechain/"Blockchain" Trilemma:

01 - Decentralization: The Bitcoin network is composed of thousands of independent nodes that verify and validate transactions. Increasing the block size or making them faster could raise computational requirements, making it harder for smaller nodes to participate and affecting decentralization. 02 - Security: Security comes from the mining process and block validation. Increasing transaction speed could compromise security, as it would reduce the time needed to verify each block, making the network more vulnerable to attacks. 03 - Speed: The need to confirm transactions quickly is crucial for Bitcoin to be used as a payment method in everyday life. However, prioritizing speed could affect both security and decentralization.

This dilemma requires balanced solutions to expand the network without sacrificing its core features.

Solutions to the Scalability Problem

Several solutions have been suggested to address the scalability and speed challenges in the Bitcoin network.

• On-Chain Optimization

01 - Segregated Witness (SegWit): Implemented in 2017, SegWit separates signature data from transactions, allowing more efficient use of space in blocks and increasing capacity without changing the block size. 02 - Increasing Block Size: Some proposals have suggested increasing the block size to allow more transactions per block. However, this could make the system more centralized as it would require greater computational power.

• Off-Chain Solutions

01 - Lightning Network: A second-layer solution that enables fast and low-cost transactions off the main blockchain or timechain. These transactions are later settled on the main network, maintaining security and decentralization. 02 - Payment Channels: Allow direct transactions between two users without the need to record every action on the network, reducing congestion. 03 - Sidechains: Proposals that create parallel networks connected to the main blockchain or timechain, providing more flexibility and processing capacity.

While these solutions bring significant improvements, they also present issues. For example, the Lightning Network depends on payment channels that require initial liquidity, limiting its widespread adoption. Increasing block size could make the system more susceptible to centralization, impacting network security.

Additionally, second-layer solutions may require extra trust between participants, which could weaken the decentralization and resistance to censorship principles that Bitcoin advocates.

Another important point is the need for large-scale adoption. Even with technological advancements, solutions will only be effective if they are widely used and accepted by users and developers.

In summary, scalability and the speed dilemma represent one of the greatest technical challenges for the Bitcoin network. While security and decentralization are essential to maintaining the system's original principles, the need for fast and efficient transactions makes scalability an urgent issue.

Solutions like SegWit and the Lightning Network have shown promising progress, but still face technical and adoption barriers. The balance between speed, security, and decentralization remains a central goal for Bitcoin’s future.

Thus, the continuous pursuit of innovation and improvement is essential for Bitcoin to maintain its relevance as a reliable and efficient network, capable of supporting global growth and adoption without compromising its core values.

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!

🎵 I Am Moana (Song of the Ancestors) by Rachel House,

@ c7aa97dc:0d12c810

COLDCARDS’s new Co-Sign feature lets you use a multisig (2 of N) wallet where the second key (policy key) lives inside the same COLDCARD and signs only when a transaction meets the rules you set-for example:

1. Maximum amount per send (e.g. 500k Sats)
2. Wait time between sends, (e.g 144 blocks = 1 day)
3. Only send to approved addresses,
4. Only send after you provide a 2FA code

If a payment follows the rules, COLDCARD automatically signs the transaction with 2 keys which makes it feel like a single-sig wallet.

Break a rule and the device only signs with 1 key, so nothing moves unless you sign the transaction with a separate off-site recovery key.

It’s the convenience of singlesig with the guard-rails of multisig.

Use Cases Unlocked

Below you will find an overview of usecases unlocked by this security enhancing feature for everyday bitcoiners, families, and small businesses.

1. Travel Lock-Down Mode

Before you leave, set the wait-time to match the duration of your trip—say 14 days—and cap each spend at 50k sats. If someone finds the COLDCARD while you’re away, they can take only one 50k-sat nibble and then must wait the full two weeks—long after you’re back—to try again. When you notice your device is gone you can quickly restore your wallet with your backup seeds (not in your house of course) and move all the funds to a new wallet.

2. Shared-Safety Wallet for Parents or Friends

Help your parents or friends setup a COLDCARD with Co-Sign, cap each spend at 500 000 sats and enforce a 7-day gap between transactions. Everyday spending sails through; anything larger waits for your co-signature from your key. A thief can’t steal more than the capped amount per week, and your parents retains full sovereignty—if you disappear, they still hold two backup seeds and can either withdraw slowly under the limits or import those seeds into another signer and move everything at once.

3. My First COLDCARD Wallet

Give your kid a COLDCARD, but whitelist only their own addresses and set a 100k sat ceiling. They learn self-custody, yet external spends still need you to co-sign.

4. Weekend-Only Spending Wallet

Cap each withdrawal (e.g., 500k sats) and require a 72-hour gap between sends. You can still top-up Lightning channels or pay bills weekly, but attackers that have access to your device + pin will not be able to drain it immediately.

5. DIY Business Treasury

Finance staff use the COLDCARD to pay routine invoices under 0.1 BTC. Anything larger needs the co-founder’s off-site backup key.

6. Donation / Grant Disbursement Wallet

Publish the deposit address publicly, but allow outgoing payments only to a fixed list of beneficiary addresses. Even if attackers get the device, they can’t redirect funds to themselves—the policy key refuses to sign.

7. Phoenix Lightning Wallet Top-Up

Add a Phoenix Lightning wallet on-chain deposit addresses to the whitelist. The COLDCARD will co-sign only when you’re refilling channels. This is off course not limited to Phoenix wallet and can be used for any Lightning Node.

8. Deep Cold-Storage Bridge

Whitelist one or more addresses from your bitcoin vault. Day-to-day you sweep hot-wallet incoming funds (From a webshop or lightning node) into the COLDCARD, then push funds onward to deep cold storage. If the device is compromised, coins can only land safely in the vault.

9. Company Treasury → Payroll Wallets

List each employee’s salary wallet on the whitelist (watch out for address re-use) and cap the amount per send. Routine payroll runs smoothly, while attackers or rogue insiders can’t reroute funds elsewhere.

10. Phone Spending-Wallet Refills

Whitelist only some deposit addresses of your mobile wallet and set a small per-send cap. You can top up anytime, but an attacker with the device and PIN can’t drain more than the refill limit—and only to your own phone.

I hope these usecase are helpfull and I'm curious to hear what other use cases you think are possible with this co-signing feature.

วันอาทิตย์ เพื่อนใหม่เยอะพอสมควร น่าจะพอที่จะแนะนำให้รู้จัก โรงบ่มสุขภาพ ขอเล่าผ่านเพลง "บ่ม" เพื่อรวบบทความ #ตัวหนังสือมีเสียง ไว้ด้วยเลยแล้วกันครับ

โรงบ่มสุขภาพ Healthy Hut - โรงบ่มสุขภาพ คือการรวมตัวกันของบุคลากรที่มี content และ ความเชี่ยวชาญ ด้านต่างๆ ทำกิจกรรมหลากหลายรูปแบบ ตั้งแต่แคมป์สุขภาพ พักผ่อนกายใจเรียนรู้การปรับสมดุลร่างกาย, การเรียนรู้พื้นฐาน Nutrition ต่างๆ ลองดูผลงานได้ในเพจครับ และโรงบ่มฯ ก็จะยังคงมีกิจกรรมให้ทุกคนได้เข้าร่วมอยู่เสมอ ดังนั้นไปกดไลค์เพจไว้เพื่อไม่ให้พลาดข้าวสาร เอ้ย ข่าวสาร

โรงบ่มฯนั้น ประกอบด้วย 👨🏻‍⚕️พี่หมอป๊อบ DietDoctor Thailand ที่เรารู้จักกันดี อาจารย์ของพวกเรา 🏋🏻‍♀️ 🏅พี่หนึ่ง จาก หนึ่งคีโตแด๊ดดี้ มาเป็น Nueng The One ผมอุปโลกให้ก่อนเลยว่า คนไทยคนแรกที่ทำเนื้อหาการกินคีโต เป็นภาษาไทย แบบมีบันทึกสาธารณะให้ตามศึกษา 👨🏻‍⚕️หมอเอก หมออ้วนในดงลดน้ำหนัก กับหลักการใช้ชีวิตแบบ IFF สาย Fasting ที่ย้ำว่าหัวใจอีกห้องของ Fasting คือ Feeding กระดุมเม็ดแรกของการฟาส ที่คนมักลืม 🧘🏻‍♀️ครูบอม เทพโยคะอีกท่านนึงของไทย กับศาสตร์โยคะ Anusara Yoga หนึ่งเดียวในไทย 🧗‍♂️โค้ชแมท สารานุกรมสุขภาพที่มีชีวิต นิ่งแต่คมกริบ ถ้าเป็นเกมส์ก็สาย สไนเปอร์ ยิงน้อยแต่ Head Shot 🧔🏻แอ๊ดหนวด ฉายา Salt Daddy เจ้าแห่งเกลือแร่ ประจำกลุ่ม IF-Mix Fasting Diet Thailand (Keto # Low Carb # Plant Base # High Fat) 👭👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏼👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏼 รวมถึงทีมงาน กัลยาณมิตรสุขภาพ ที่มีความรู้ในด้านสุขภาพและมากประสบการณ์ 🧑🏻‍🍳 ผมและตำรับเอ๋เองก็ยินดีมากๆที่ได้ร่วมทีมสุขภาพนี้กับเขาด้วย

จะเห็นได้ว่า แต่ละท่านในโรงบ่มฯ นั้นหล่อหลอมมาจากความต่างเสียด้วยซ้ำไป ตั้งแต่เริ่มก่อร่างโรงบ่ม เราก็ตั้งไว้แล้วว่า ชีวะ ควรมีความหลากหลาย การวางพื้นฐานสุขภาพควรมาจาก "แต่ละคน" ไม่ใช่ one size fit all บันทึกกิจกรรมโรงบ่มผมมีโพสไว้ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19DUibHrbw/

นั่นเป็นเหตุผลที่ผมเกิดแรงบันดาลใจในการทำเพลง "บ่ม" ขึ้นมาเพื่อเป็น Theme Song ครับ แก่นของเพลงนี้มีไม่กี่อย่างครับ ผมเริ่มคิดจากคำว่า "ความต่าง" เพราะไม่ว่าจะกี่ปีกี่ชาติ วงการสุขภาพ ก็จะมีแนวความคิดประเภท ฉันถูกเธอผิด อยู่ตลอดเวลาเพราะมันเป็นธรรมชาติมนุษย์ครับ มนุษย์เราทุกคนมีอีโก้ การยอมรับในความต่าง การหลอมรวมความต่าง ผมคิดว่ามันเป็นการ "บ่ม" ให้สุกงอมได้

เวลาที่เนื้อหาแบบนี้ ผมก็อดคิดถึงวงที่ผมรักเสมอไม่ได้เลย นั่นคือ เฉลียง แม้ความสามารถจะห่างไกลกันลิบลับ แต่ผมก็อยากทำสไตล์เฉลียงกับเขาบ้างครั้งหนึ่งหรือหลายๆครั้งในชีวิต จึงเลือกแนวเพลงออกมาทาง แจ๊ส สวิง มีเครื่องเป่า คาริเนต เป็นตัวเด่น

ท่อนแรกของเพลงจึงเริ่มด้วย "ต่างทั้งความคิด ต่างทั้งความฝัน ต่างเผ่าต่างพันธุ์ จะต่างกันแค่ไหน หนึ่งเมล็ด จากหลากผล แต่ละคน ก็ปนไป แล้วเพราะเหตุใด ใยต้องไปแค่ทางเดียว" เพื่อปูให้คนฟังเริ่มเปิดรับว่า สิ่งที่ต้องการจะสื่อต่อไปคืออะไร

ส่วนคำย้ำนั้นผมแตกมาจาก คำสอนของพระพุทธเจ้า เกี่ยวกับ "คิดเห็นเป็นไป" ซึ่งจริงๆผมเขียนไว้ในโพสนึงแต่ตอนนั้นยังไม่ได้ทำคอลัมน์ #ตัวหนังสือมีเสียง ขอไม่เขียนซ้ำ อ่านได้ที่นี่ครับ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18tFCFaRLn/ ท่อนที่ว่าจึงเขียนไว้ว่า "บ่มบ่ม... บ่มให้คิด บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้เห็น บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้เป็น บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้ไป ไปเป็น ตัวของตัวเอง" ใช้ความซน สไตล์ rock&roll ผสมแจ๊สนิด ที่เขามักเล่นร้องโต้กับคอรัส นึกถึงยุคทีวีขาวดำ 5555

เนื้อร้องท่อนนี้ เป็นการบอกว่า โรงบ่มคืออะไรทำอะไร เพราะโรงบ่ม เราไม่ได้รักษา เราไม่ได้บังคับไดเอทว่าต้องใช้อะไร เราเปิดตาให้มอง เปิดหูให้ฟัง เปิดปากให้ถาม ถึงธรรมชาติในตัวเรา แล้วบ่มออกไปให้เบ่งบานในเส้นทางของแต่ละคนครับ

แล้วผมก็พยายามอีกครั้งที่จะสื่อถึงการยอมรับความต่าง ให้ติดหูเอาไว้ โดยเฉพาะคำที่ผมพูดบ่อยมากๆ "ชีวะ คือชีวิต" จนมาเป็นท่อน bridge นี้ครับ "อะไรที่ไม่คล้าย นั้นใช่ไม่ดี เพราะชีวะ ก็คือชีวี บ่มให้ดี จะมีความงาม ตามที่ควรเห็น ตามที่ควรเป็น"

เพลงนี้สามารถฟังตัวเต็มได้ทุกแพลทฟอร์มเพลงทั้ง youtube music, spotify, apple music, แผ่นเสียง tiktok ⌨️ แค่ค้นชื่อ "Heretong Teera Siri" ครับ

📺 youtube link นี้ https://youtu.be/BvIsTAsG00E?si=MzA-WfCTNQnWy6b1 📻 Spotify link นี้ https://open.spotify.com/album/08HydgrXmUAew6dgXIDNTf?si=7flQOqDAQbGe2bC0hx3T2A

ความลับคือ จริงๆแล้วเพลงนี้มี 3 version ถ้ากดใน spotify แล้วจะเห็นทั้งอัลบั้มครับ

📀เนื้อเพลง "บ่ม"📀 song by : HereTong Teera Siri ต่างทั้งความคิด ต่างทั้งความฝัน ต่างเผ่าต่างพันธุ์ จะต่างกันแค่ไหน

หนึ่งเมล็ด จากหลากผล แต่ละคน ก็ปนไป แล้วเพราะเหตุใด ใยต้องไปแค่ทางเดียว

บ่มบ่ม... บ่มให้คิด บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้เห็น บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้เป็น บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้ไป ไปเป็น ตัวของตัวเอง

ต่างทั้งลองลิ้ม ต่างทั้งรับรู้ ต่างที่มุมดู ก็ถมไป หนึ่งชีวิต มีความหมาย ที่หลากหลาย ไม่คล้ายกัน แล้วเพราะเหตุใด ใยต้องเป็นเช่นทุกคน

บ่มบ่ม... บ่มให้คิด บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้เห็น บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้เป็น บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้ไป ไปตาม ทางที่เลือกเดิน

เพราะชีวิต คือความหลากหลาย เพราะโลกนี้ ไม่เคยห่างหาย อะไรที่ไม่คล้าย นั้นใช่ไม่ดี เพราะชีวะ ก็คือชีวี บ่มให้ดี จะมีความงาม ตามที่ควรเห็น ตามที่ควรเป็น

บ่มบ่ม... บ่มให้คิด บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้เห็น บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้เป็น บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้ไป ไปตาม ทางที่เลือกเดิน

เพราะชีวะ ก็คือชีวี บ่มให้ดี จะมีความงาม ตามที่ควรเห็น ตามที่ควรเป็น บ่มให้เธอชื่น บ่มให้เธอชม ชีวิตรื่นรมย์ ได้สมใจ บ่มให้ยั่งยืน

In the Bitcoin system, the protection and ownership of funds are ensured by a cryptographic model that uses private and public keys. These components are fundamental to digital security, allowing users to manage and safeguard their assets in a decentralized way. This process removes the need for intermediaries, ensuring that only the legitimate owner has access to the balance linked to a specific address on the blockchain or timechain.

Private and public keys are part of an asymmetric cryptographic system, where two distinct but mathematically linked codes are used to guarantee the security and authenticity of transactions.

Private Key = A secret code, usually represented as a long string of numbers and letters.

Functions like a password that gives the owner control over the bitcoins tied to a specific address.

Must be kept completely secret, as anyone with access to it can move the corresponding funds.

Public Key = Mathematically derived from the private key, but it cannot be used to uncover the private key.

Functions as a digital address, similar to a bank account number, and can be freely shared to receive payments.

Used to verify the authenticity of signatures generated with the private key.

Together, these keys ensure that transactions are secure and verifiable, eliminating the need for intermediaries.

The functioning of private and public keys is based on elliptic curve cryptography. When a user wants to send bitcoins, they use their private key to digitally sign the transaction. This signature is unique for each operation and proves that the sender possesses the private key linked to the sending address.

Bitcoin network nodes check this signature using the corresponding public key to ensure that:

01 - The signature is valid. 02 - The transaction has not been altered since it was signed. 03 - The sender is the legitimate owner of the funds.

If the signature is valid, the transaction is recorded on the blockchain or timechain and becomes irreversible. This process protects funds against fraud and double-spending.

The security of private keys is one of the most critical aspects of the Bitcoin system. Losing this key means permanently losing access to the funds, as there is no central authority capable of recovering it.

• Best practices for protecting private keys include:

01 - Offline storage: Keep them away from internet-connected networks to reduce the risk of cyberattacks. 02 - Hardware wallets: Physical devices dedicated to securely storing private keys. 03 - Backups and redundancy: Maintain backup copies in safe and separate locations. 04 - Additional encryption: Protect digital files containing private keys with strong passwords and encryption.

• Common threats include:

01 - Phishing and malware: Attacks that attempt to trick users into revealing their keys. 02 - Physical theft: If keys are stored on physical devices. 03 - Loss of passwords and backups: Which can lead to permanent loss of funds.

Using private and public keys gives the owner full control over their funds, eliminating intermediaries such as banks or governments. This model places the responsibility of protection on the user, which represents both freedom and risk.

Unlike traditional financial systems, where institutions can reverse transactions or freeze accounts, in the Bitcoin system, possession of the private key is the only proof of ownership. This principle is often summarized by the phrase: "Not your keys, not your coins."

This approach strengthens financial sovereignty, allowing individuals to store and move value independently and without censorship.

Despite its security, the key-based system also carries risks. If a private key is lost or forgotten, there is no way to recover the associated funds. This has already led to the permanent loss of millions of bitcoins over the years.

To reduce this risk, many users rely on seed phrases, which are a list of words used to recover wallets and private keys. These phrases must be guarded just as carefully, as they can also grant access to funds.

In summary, private and public keys are the foundation of security and ownership in the Bitcoin system. They ensure that only rightful owners can move their funds, enabling a decentralized, secure, and censorship-resistant financial system.

However, this freedom comes with great responsibility, requiring users to adopt strict practices to protect their private keys. Loss or compromise of these keys can lead to irreversible consequences, highlighting the importance of education and preparation when using Bitcoin.

Thus, the cryptographic key model not only enhances security but also represents the essence of the financial independence that Bitcoin enables.

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!

The Bitcoin network is built on a decentralized infrastructure made up of devices called nodes. These nodes play a crucial role in validating, verifying, and maintaining the system, ensuring the security and integrity of the blockchain or timechain. Unlike traditional systems where a central authority controls operations, the Bitcoin network relies on the collaboration of thousands of nodes around the world, promoting decentralization and transparency.

In the Bitcoin network, a node is any computer connected to the system that participates in storing, validating, or distributing information. These devices run Bitcoin software and can operate at different levels of participation, from basic data transmission to full validation of transactions and blocks.

There are two main types of nodes:

• Full Nodes:

01 - Store a complete copy of the blockchain or timechain. 02 - Validate and verify all transactions and blocks according to the protocol rules. 03 - Ensure network security by rejecting invalid transactions or fraudulent attempts.

• Light Nodes:

01 - Store only parts of the blockchain or timechain, not the full structure. 02 - Rely on full nodes to access transaction history data. 03 - Are faster and less resource-intensive but depend on third parties for full validation.

Nodes check whether submitted transactions comply with protocol rules, such as valid digital signatures and the absence of double spending.

Only valid transactions are forwarded to other nodes and included in the next block.

Full nodes maintain an up-to-date copy of the network's entire transaction history, ensuring integrity and transparency. In case of discrepancies, nodes follow the longest and most valid chain, preventing manipulation.

Nodes transmit transaction and block data to other nodes on the network. This process ensures all participants are synchronized and up to date.

Since the Bitcoin network consists of thousands of independent nodes, it is nearly impossible for a single agent to control or alter the system.

Nodes also protect against attacks by validating information and blocking fraudulent attempts.

Full nodes are particularly important, as they act as independent auditors. They do not need to rely on third parties and can verify the entire transaction history directly.

By maintaining a full copy of the blockchain or timechain, these nodes allow anyone to validate transactions without intermediaries, promoting transparency and financial freedom.

• In addition, full nodes:

01 - Reinforce censorship resistance: No government or entity can delete or alter data recorded on the system. 02 - Preserve decentralization: The more full nodes that exist, the stronger and more secure the network becomes. 03 - Increase trust in the system: Users can independently confirm whether the rules are being followed.

Despite their value, operating a full node can be challenging, as it requires storage space, processing power, and bandwidth. As the blockchain or timechain grows, technical requirements increase, which can make participation harder for regular users.

To address this, the community continuously works on solutions, such as software improvements and scalability enhancements, to make network access easier without compromising security.

In summary, nodes are the backbone of the Bitcoin network, performing essential functions in transaction validation, verification, and distribution. They ensure the decentralization and security of the system, allowing participants to operate reliably without relying on intermediaries.

Full nodes, in particular, play a critical role in preserving the integrity of the blockchain or timechain, making the Bitcoin network resistant to censorship and manipulation.

While running a node may require technical resources, its impact on preserving financial freedom and system trust is invaluable. As such, nodes remain essential elements for the success and longevity of Bitcoin.

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!

Bitcoin has a controversial reputation, but in this essay, I argue that Bitcoin is actually a pretty cool thing; it could even be described as the hippie movement of the digital generations.

Mainstream media often portrays Bitcoin purely as speculation, with headlines focusing on price fluctuations or painting it as an environmental disaster. It has frequently been declared dead and buried, only to rise again—each time, it's labeled as highly risky and suspicious as a whole. Then there are those who find blockchain fascinating in general but dismiss Bitcoin as outdated, claiming it will soon be replaced by a new cryptocurrency (often one controlled by the very author making the argument). Let’s take a moment to consider why Bitcoin is interesting and how it can drive broad societal change, much like the hippie movement once did. Bitcoin is a global decentralized monetary system operating on a peer-to-peer network. Since nearly all of humanity lives within an economic system based on money, it’s easy to see how an overhaul of the financial system could have a profound impact across different aspects of society. Bitcoin differs from traditional money through several unique characteristics: it is scarce, neutral, decentralized, and completely permissionless. There is no central entity—such as a company—that develops and markets Bitcoin, meaning it cannot be corrupted.

Bitcoin is an open digital network, much like the internet. Due to its lack of a central governing entity and its organic origin, Bitcoin can be considered a commodity, whereas other cryptocurrencies resemble securities, comparable to stocks. Bitcoin’s decentralized nature makes it geopolitically neutral. Instead of being controlled by a central authority, it operates under predefined, unchangeable rules. No single entity in the world has the ability to arbitrarily influence decision-making within the Bitcoin network. This characteristic is particularly beneficial in today’s political climate, where global uncertainty is heightened by unpredictable leaders of major powers. The permissionless nature of Bitcoin and its built-in resistance to censorship are crucial for individuals living under unstable conditions. Bitcoin is used to raise funds for politically persecuted activists and for charitable purposes in regions where financial systems have been weaponized against political opponents or used to restrict people's ability to flee a country. These are factors that may not immediately come to mind in Western nations, where such challenges are not commonly faced. Additionally, according to the World Bank, an estimated 1.5 billion people worldwide still lack access to any form of banking services.

Mining is the only way to ensure that no one can seize control of the Bitcoin network or gain a privileged position within it. This keeps Bitcoin neutral as a protocol, meaning a set of rules without leaders. It is not governed in the same way a company is, where ownership of shares dictates control. Miners earn the right to record transactions in Bitcoin’s ledger by continuously proving that they have performed work to obtain that right. This proof-of-work algorithm is also one reason why Bitcoin has spread so organically. If recording new transactions were free, we would face a problem similar to spam: there would be an endless number of competing transactions, making it impossible to reach consensus on which should officially become part of the decentralized ledger. Mining can be seen as an auction for adding the next set of transactions, where the price is the amount of energy expended. Using energy for this purpose is the only way to ensure that mining remains globally decentralized while keeping the system open and permissionless—free from human interference. Bitcoin’s initial distribution was driven by random tech enthusiasts around the world who mined it as a hobby, using student electricity from their bedrooms. This is why Bitcoin’s spread can be considered organic, in contrast to a scenario where it was created by a precisely organized inner circle that typically would have granted itself advantages before the launch.

If energy consumption is considered concerning, the best regulatory approach would be to create optimal conditions for mining in Finland, where over half of energy production already comes from renewable sources. Modern miners are essentially datacenters, but they have a unique characteristic: they can adjust their electricity consumption seamlessly and instantly without delay. This creates synergy with renewable energy production, which often experiences fluctuations in supply. The demand flexibility offered by miners provides strong incentives to invest increasingly in renewable energy facilities. Miners can commit to long-term projects as last-resort consumers, making investments in renewables more predictable and profitable. Additionally, like other datacenters, miners produce heat as a byproduct. As a thought experiment, they could also be considered heating plants, with a secondary function of securing the Bitcoin network. In Finland, heat is naturally needed year-round. This combination of grid balancing and waste heat recovery would be key to Europe's energy self-sufficiency. Wouldn't it be great if the need to bow to fossil fuel powers for energy could be eliminated? Unfortunately, the current government has demonstrated a lack of understanding of these positive externalities by proposing tax increases on electricity. The so-called fiat monetary system also deserves criticism in Western nations, even though its flaws are not as immediately obvious as elsewhere. It is the current financial system in which certain privileged entities control the issuance of money as if by divine decree, which is what the term fiat (command) refers to. The system subtly creates and maintains inequality.

The Cantillon effect is an economic phenomenon in which entities closer to newly created money benefit at the expense of those farther away. Access to the money creation process is determined by credit ratings and loan terms, as fiat money is always debt. The Cantillon effect is a distorted version of the trickle-down theory, where the loss of purchasing power in a common currency gradually moves downward. Due to inflation, hard assets such as real estate, precious metals, and stocks become more expensive, just as food prices rise in stores. This process further enriches the wealthy while deepening poverty. The entire wealth of lower-income individuals is often held in cash or savings, which are eroded by inflation much like a borrowed bottle of Leijona liquor left out too long. Inflation is usually attributed to a specific crisis, but over the long term (spanning decades), monetary inflation—the expansion of the money supply—plays a significant role. Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman, known for his work on currencies, describes inflation in his book The Accidental Theorist as follows, loosely quoted: "It is really, really difficult to cut nominal wages. Even with low inflation, making labor cheaper would require a large portion of workers to accept wage cuts. Therefore, higher inflation leads to higher employment." Since no one wants to voluntarily give up their salary in nominal terms, the value of wages must be lowered in real terms by weakening the currency in which they are paid. Inflation effectively cuts wages—or, in other words, makes labor cheaper. This is one of the primary reasons why inflation is often said to have a "stimulating" effect on the economy.

It does seem somewhat unfair that employees effectively subsidize their employers’ labor costs to facilitate new hires, doesn’t it? Not to mention the inequities faced by the Global South in the form of neocolonialism, where Cantillon advantages are weaponized through reserve currencies like the US dollar or the French franc. This follows the exact same pattern, just on a larger scale. The Human Rights Foundation (hrf.org) has explored the interconnection between the fiat monetary system and neocolonialism in its publications, advocating for Bitcoin as part of the solution. Inflation can also be criticized from an environmental perspective. Since it raises time preference, it encourages people to make purchases sooner rather than delay them. As Krugman put it in the same book, “Extra money burns in your pocket.” Inflation thus drives consumption while reducing deliberation—it’s the fuel of the economy. If the goal from an environmental standpoint is to moderate economic activity, the first step should be to stop adding fuel to the fire. The impact of inflation on intergenerational inequality and the economic uncertainty faced by younger generations is rarely discussed. Boomers have benefited from the positive effects of the trend sparked by the Nixon shock in 1971, such as wealth accumulation in real estate and inflation-driven economic booms. Zoomers, meanwhile, are left to either fix the problems of the current system or find themselves searching for a lifeboat.

Bitcoin emerged as part of a long developmental continuum within the discussion forums of rebellious programmers known as cypherpunks, or encryption activists. It is an integral part of internet history and specifically a counterculture movement. Around Bitcoin, grassroots activists and self-organized communities still thrive, fostering an atmosphere that is welcoming, inspiring, and—above all—hopeful, which feels rare in today’s world. Although the rush of suits and traditional financial giants into Bitcoin through ETF funds a year ago may have painted it as opportunistic and dull in the headlines, delving into its history and culture reveals ever-fascinating angles and new layers within the Bitcoin sphere. Yet, at its core, Bitcoin is simply money. It possesses all seven characteristics required to meet the definition of money: it is easily divisible, transferable, recognizable, durable, fungible, uniform, and straightforward to receive. It serves as a foundation on which coders, startup enthusiasts, politicians, financial executives, activists, and anarchists alike can build. The only truly common denominator among the broad spectrum of Bitcoin users is curiosity—openness to new ideas. It merely requires the ability to recognize potential in an alternative system and a willingness to embrace fundamental change. Bitcoin itself is the most inclusive system in the world, as it is literally impossible to marginalize or exclude its users. It is a tool for peaceful and voluntary collaboration, designed so that violence and manipulation are rendered impossible in its code.

Pretty punk in the middle of an era of polarization and division, wouldn’t you say?

เรารู้จักกับ Circadian Rhythm และ Infradian Rhythm แล้ว คราวนี้เรามารู้จักกับ Ultradian Rhythm กันครับ จากรากศัพท์ภาษาละติน คำว่า “Ultra” แปลว่า “มากกว่า” หรือ “ถี่กว่า” คำว่า diem” = แปลว่า "วัน" พอเอามารวมกันเป็น “ultradian” ก็หมายถึงวงจรชีวภาพที่เกิดขึ้น บ่อยกว่า 1 รอบต่อวัน (ความถี่สูงกว่ารอบ 24 ชั่วโมง) ไม่ใช่ “ยาวกว่า 1 วัน” สรุปเป็นภาษาง่ายๆคือ "จังหวะชีวภาพที่เกิดซ้ำ มากกว่า 1 ครั้งภายใน 24 ชั่วโมง"

หรือถ้าเราจะเรียงลำดับของ Rythm ทั้ง 3 ประเภทเราจะได้เป็น 1.Circadian Rhythm (ประมาณ 24 ชม.) 2.Ultradian Rhythm (น้อยกว่า 24 ชม.) 3.Infradian Rhythm (มากกว่า 24 ชม.)

สำหรับตัวอย่าง Ultradian Rhythm ที่สำคัญๆนะครับ เช่น 1. วัฏจักรการนอน (Sleep Cycle) ที่แต่ละรอบ จะอยู่ที่ราวๆ 90–120 นาที สลับกันไปมาระหว่าง NREM (หลับลึก) และ REM (ฝัน) อย่างที่สายสุขภาพเรียนรู้กันมาคือ ถ้าหลับสลับครบ 4–6 รอบ จะหลับสนิท ฟื้นเช้ามาสดชื่นแจ่มใสพักผ่อนเต็มที่

แสงเช้า-แดดอ่อนๆ ช่วยรีเซ็ต circadian แต่ก็ส่งผลให้ ultradian sleep cycle เริ่มต้นตรงจังหวะพอดี นอกจากนี้ยังมีสิ่งที่เรียกว่า Power nap ตอนแดดบ่าย (20–25 นาทีแดดอ่อน) จะช่วยกระตุ้น ultradian nap cycle ให้ตื่นขึ้นมาเป๊ะ ไม่งัวเงีย ให้เลือกจุดที่แดดยังอ่อน เช่น ริมหน้าต่างที่มีแดดผ่านมานุ่ม ๆ หรือใต้ต้นไม้ที่กรองแสงได้บางส่วน ไม่จำเป็นต้องนอนตากแดดโดยตรง แต่ให้ “รับแสงธรรมชาติ” พร้อมกับงีบ จะช่วยให้ circadian และ ultradian cycles ทำงานประสานกันได้ดีขึ้น

1. การหลั่งฮอร์โมนแบบพัลซ์ หรือ Pulsatile Hormone Secretion คือรูปแบบการปล่อยฮอร์โมนออกมาจากต่อมต่าง ๆ ในร่างกายแบบเป็น “จังหวะ” หรือ “เป็นช่วง” (bursts/pulses) ไม่ใช่การหลั่งออกมาอย่างต่อเนื่องตลอดเวลา เช่น เทพแห่งการลดน้ำหนัก Growth Hormone (GH) หลั่งพุ่งตอนหลับลึกทุก 3–4 ชั่วโมง / Cortisol มีพัลซ์เล็กๆ ในวัน แม้หลักๆ จะเป็น circadian แต่ก็มี ultradian pulse ทุก 1–2 ชั่วโมง ได้เหมือนกัน / Insulin & Glucagon ชัดเลยชาว keto IF รู้ดีที่สุดว่า หลั่งเป็นรอบตามมื้ออาหารและช่วงพักระหว่างมื้อ

ลองนึกภาพว่า “แสงแดง” และ “อินฟราเรด” เปรียบเหมือนอาหารเช้าของเซลล์เรา เมื่อผิวเราโดนแดดอ่อน ๆ ในช่วงเช้าหรือบ่ายแก่ แสงเหล่านี้จะซึมเข้าไปกระตุ้น “โรงไฟฟ้าประจำเซลล์” (ไมโตคอนเดรีย) ให้ผลิตพลังงาน (ATP) ขึ้นมาเพิ่ม เหมือนเติมน้ำมันให้เครื่องยนต์วิ่งได้ลื่น พอเซลล์มีพลังงานมากขึ้น ในช่วงที่ร่างกายหลั่งฮอร์โมนการซ่อมแซมอย่าง “growth hormone” (GH) ร่างกายก็จะใช้พลังงานจากแสงนี้พร้อมกับฮอร์โมนในการซ่อมแซมกล้ามเนื้อและเนื้อเยื่อต่าง ๆ ได้เต็มประสิทธิภาพขึ้นนั่นเองครับ

1. ช่วงเวลาการจดจ่อ หรือ Attention Span & Energy Cycle คนทั่วไปมีสมาธิ/พลังงานโฟกัสอยู่รอบละ 90 นาที หลังจากนั้นควรพัก 10–20 นาที หากฝืนต่อเนื่อง จะเกิดอาการอ่อนล้า สมาธิหลุด

Blue light เช้า จากแดดจะไปกระตุ้นในส่วนของ suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) ในสมองให้ปล่อยสารกระตุ้นความตื่นตัว (เช่น คอร์ติซอล) พอสมควร ซึ่งช่วยให้ ultradian cycle ของสมาธิ (โฟกัสได้ประมาณ 90 นาที) ทำงานเต็มประสิทธิภาพ ถ้าเช้าๆ ไม่เจอแดดเลย cycle นี้จะเลื่อนออกไป ทำให้รู้สึกง่วงเหงาหาวนอนเร็ว หรือโฟกัสไม่ได้นานตามปกติ เป็นที่มาของการเพลียแม้จะตื่นสายแล้วก็ตาม

1. รอบความหิว หรือ Appetite & Digestive Rhythm ชื่อเท่ห์ป่ะหล่ะ 555 คือความหิวมาเป็นรอบตามวิธีการกินของแต่ละคน ซึ่งเป็นความสัมพันธ์กับ ฮอร์โมน GI (เช่น ghrelin, leptin) ก็วิ่งเป็นรอบเหมือนกัน

แสงแดดเช้า ช่วยตั้ง leptin/ghrelin baseline ให้สมดุล ลดการกินจุกจิกนอกมื้อได้ ส่วนแสงอ่อนๆ ตอนบ่ายช่วยบูสต์ blood flow ในทางเดินอาหาร ให้ digestion cycle หรือการดูดซึมสารอาหารตรงจังหวะ

แดดเป็นแค่ส่วนสำคัญในชีวิตแต่การใช้ Ultradian Rhythm มันต้องประกอบกับกิจกรรมอื่นๆด้วยนะครับ เช่น ทำงานหรืออ่านหนังสือ 90 นาที แล้ว พัก 15–20 นาที ยืดเส้นสาย เคลื่อนไหวเล็กน้อย, ออกกำลังกายให้ตรงจังหวะ, ในช่วง ultradian break พยายามลดการใช้จอมือถือ/คอมฯ ออกไปรับแสงธรรมชาติ หรือยืดเส้น เปิดเพลงเบาๆ เพื่อหลีกเลี่ยง "stimuli" ช่วง break หรือ สิ่งเร้าภายนอก ที่มากระตุ้นประสาทสัมผัสและสมองเรา

แสงแดดจึงเป็น ตัวตั้งเวลา (zeitgeber) ที่ไม่ได้แค่กับรอบวัน-เดือน-ปี แต่รวมถึงจังหวะสั้นๆ ภายในวันด้วย การใช้แสงธรรมชาติให้พอดีในแต่ละช่วง (เช้า เบรก บ่าย) จะช่วยให้ ultradian rhythms ในด้านสมาธิ การนอน ฮอร์โมน และการย่อยอาหาร ทำงานสอดคล้องกับจังหวะชีวิตที่เป็นธรรมชาติที่สุดครับ #pirateketo #SundaySpecialเราจะไปเป็นหมูแดดเดียว #กูต้องรู้มั๊ย #ม้วนหางสิลูก #siamstr

Bitcoin mining is a crucial process for the operation and security of the network. It plays an important role in validating transactions and generating new bitcoins, ensuring the integrity of the blockchain or timechain-based system. This process involves solving complex mathematical calculations and requires significant computational power. Additionally, mining has economic, environmental, and technological effects that must be carefully analyzed.

Bitcoin mining is the procedure through which new units of the currency are created and added to the network. It is also responsible for verifying and recording transactions on the blockchain or timechain. This system was designed to be decentralized, eliminating the need for a central authority to control issuance or validate operations.

Participants in the process, called miners, compete to solve difficult mathematical problems. Whoever finds the solution first earns the right to add a new block to the blockchain or timechain and receives a reward in bitcoins, along with the transaction fees included in that block. This mechanism is known as Proof of Work (PoW).

The mining process is highly technical and follows a series of steps:

Transaction grouping: Transactions sent by users are collected into a pending block that awaits validation.

Solving mathematical problems: Miners must find a specific number, called a nonce, which, when combined with the block’s data, generates a cryptographic hash that meets certain required conditions. This process involves trial and error and consumes a great deal of computational power.

Block validation: When a miner finds the correct solution, the block is validated and added to the blockchain or timechain. All network nodes verify the block’s authenticity before accepting it.

Reward: The winning miner receives a bitcoin reward, in addition to the fees paid for the transactions included in the block. This reward decreases over time in an event called halving, which happens approximately every four years.

Bitcoin mining has a significant economic impact, as it creates income opportunities for individuals and companies. It also drives the development of new technologies such as specialized processors (ASICs) and modern cooling systems.

Moreover, mining supports financial inclusion by maintaining a decentralized network, enabling fast and secure global transactions. In regions with unstable economies, Bitcoin provides a viable alternative for value preservation and financial transfers.

Despite its economic benefits, Bitcoin mining is often criticized for its environmental impact. The proof-of-work process consumes large amounts of electricity, especially in areas where the energy grid relies on fossil fuels.

It’s estimated that Bitcoin mining uses as much energy as some entire countries, raising concerns about its sustainability. However, there are ongoing efforts to reduce these impacts, such as the increasing use of renewable energy sources and the exploration of alternative systems like Proof of Stake (PoS) in other decentralized networks.

Mining also faces challenges related to scalability and the concentration of computational power. Large companies and mining pools dominate the sector, which can affect the network’s decentralization.

Another challenge is the growing complexity of the mathematical problems, which requires more advanced hardware and consumes more energy over time. To address these issues, researchers are studying solutions that optimize resource use and keep the network sustainable in the long term.

In summary, Bitcoin mining is an essential process for maintaining the network and creating new units of the currency. It ensures security, transparency, and decentralization, supporting the operation of the blockchain or timechain.

However, mining also brings challenges such as high energy consumption and the concentration of resources in large pools. Even so, the pursuit of sustainable solutions and technological innovations points to a promising future, where Bitcoin continues to play a central role in the digital economy.

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!

Technically speaking, I should say blooms because not all of my pictures are of flowers, a lot of them, probably most, are blooming trees - but who cares, right?

It is that time of the year that every timeline on every social media is being flooded by blooms. At least in the Northern Hemisphere. I thought that this year, I wouldn't partake in it but - here I am, I just can't resist the lure of blooms when I'm out walking the neighborhood.

Spring has sprung - aaaachoo, sorry, allergies suck! - and the blooms are beautiful.

Yesterday, we had the warmest day of the year to-date. I went for an early morning walk before breakfast. Beautiful blue skies, no clouds, sunshine and a breeze. Most people turned on their aircons. We did not. We are rebels - hah!

We also had breakfast on the deck which I really enjoy during the weekend. Later I had my first session of the year painting on the deck while listening/watching @thegrinder streaming. Good times.

Today, the weather changed. Last night, we had heavy thunderstorms and rain. This morning, it is overcast with the occasional sunray peaking through or, as it is right now, raindrops falling.

We'll see what the day will bring. For me, it will definitely be: Back to painting. Maybe I'll even share some here later. But for now - this is a photo post, and here are the photos. I hope you enjoy as much as I enjoyed yesterday's walk!

Blockchain or timechain is a new technology that has changed the way data and transactions are recorded and stored. Its decentralized and highly secure structure provides transparency and trust, making it a widely used system for digital operations. This technology is essential for creating financial systems and digital records that cannot be altered.

What is blockchain or timechain? Blockchain or timechain is essentially a distributed digital ledger designed to record transactions in a sequential and unchangeable manner. It is made up of blocks linked in a chain, each containing a set of information such as transactions, timestamps, and a unique identifier called a hash.

These blocks are organized in chronological order, ensuring the integrity of records over time. The term timechain, used synonymously, emphasizes this temporal aspect of the system, where each block is linked to the previous one, forming a chain of events that cannot be tampered with.

The validation of blocks in blockchain or timechain is carried out through a process called mining. Network participants, known as miners, use powerful computers to solve complex mathematical problems. This process, known as proof of work, is necessary to validate transactions and add a new block to the chain.

Each block contains:

Verified Transactions – A set of operations approved by the network.

Previous Block Hash – A unique code that connects the new block to the previous one, ensuring continuity and security.

Nonce – A number used in the mining process to generate the block's hash.

Once a block is validated, it is permanently added to the blockchain or timechain, and all nodes (participating computers) in the network update their copies of this ledger.

One of the main benefits of blockchain or timechain is the security provided by its decentralized model. Unlike traditional systems that rely on central servers, it distributes its data across thousands of computers around the world.

Immutability is guaranteed by cryptographic techniques and the chained structure of blocks. Any attempt to alter a block would require modifying all subsequent blocks, which is virtually impossible due to the massive computational power required.

Additionally, the use of cryptographic algorithms makes the system resistant to fraud and manipulation. This model enables trust, even in environments without intermediaries or central authorities.

Blockchain or timechain is transparent, as anyone can access the full history of transactions recorded on the network. This creates a system that is auditable and reliable.

However, the privacy of participants is protected, since transactions are recorded through anonymous digital addresses without revealing personal identities. This balance between transparency and privacy makes the system secure and flexible.

The use of blockchain or timechain goes beyond financial transactions. It is useful in areas such as smart contracts, asset registration, supply chains, and online voting. Its ability to create permanent and verifiable records enables innovative solutions across various industries.

For example, in product tracking systems, blockchain or timechain ensures data authenticity by recording each stage of the production and distribution process. This reduces fraud and increases operational efficiency.

Advantages and Challenges Among the main advantages of blockchain or timechain, we can highlight:

Decentralization – Elimination of intermediaries, reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

Security – Protection against fraud and digital attacks.

Transparency – Public and verifiable record of all transactions.

Immutability – Assurance that data cannot be modified after being recorded.

However, there are still challenges to be addressed, such as scalability, as the continuous growth of the network may require greater storage and processing capacity. Additionally, regulatory issues and widespread adoption demand ongoing improvements.

In summary, blockchain or timechain is an innovative technology that changes the way data and transactions are stored, ensuring security, transparency, and efficiency. Its decentralization removes the dependency on intermediaries, making it a trustworthy and tamper-resistant system.

Despite technical and regulatory challenges, blockchain or timechain continues to evolve, demonstrating its potential in various areas beyond the financial sector. Its promise of transparency and immutability is already shaping the future of digital systems, establishing itself as a fundamental base for the modern economy and digital trust.

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!

You are wearing a helmet, but it's been on your head so long you no longer notice it.

The helmet interfaces with your mind via thought-emotion. It influences what you think about and how you feel.

You could remove the helmet at any time. But the thought-emotions keep you distracted, fearful and attached.

Occasionally you remember you are wearing it. Moments of clarity and detachment. You see the way your experience is colored by it. You know it is biased, untrue to reality. You seriously contemplate removing it.

But the moment passes.

Later, you remember contemplating your helmet’s removal, but you wonder what you will gain from it, whether it’s worth doing.

You are no longer having a moment of clarity, just a memory of the question that arose from it, but colored now by thought-emotions.

You decide even if you wanted to remove it, you would put it back on before long. After all, you have never kept it off before, why would you suddenly live without this interface now? The interface is what you know.

Maybe one day, when you are in a more secure place, when your ducks are more in a row, you will remove it. Not now, not in the midst of all this chaos, so many things to do, so much on your plate. You will leave it on for now. You will deal with this later.

But one day too late it dawns on you it is always ever now, and later means never. You have lived your entire life at the behest of the interface when all you had to do was remove it.

Amico mio, ascolta bene!

Without hesitation, the woman you attract with lies is not truly yours. Davvero, she is the temporary property of the illusion you’ve built to seduce her. And every illusion, sooner or later, crumbles.

Weak men sell inflated versions of themselves. They talk about what they don’t have, promise what they can’t sustain, adorn their empty selves with words that are nothing more than a coat of paint. And they do this thinking that, later, they’ll be able to "show who they really are." Fatal mistake, cazzo!

The truth, amico mio, is not something that appears at the end. It is what holds up the whole beginning.

The woman who approaches a lie may smile at first — but she is smiling at the theater, not at the actor. When the curtains fall, what she will see is not a man. It will be a character tired of performing, begging for love from a self-serving audience in the front row.

That’s why I always point out that lying to win a woman’s heart is the same as sabotaging your own nature. The woman who comes through an invented version of you will be the first to leave when the veil of lies tears apart. Not out of cruelty, but out of consistency with her own interest. Fine... She didn’t leave you, but rather, that version of yourself never truly existed to be left behind.

A worthy man presents himself without deceptive adornments. And those who stay, stay because they know exactly who they are choosing as a man. That’s what differentiates forged seduction from the convenience of love built on honor, loyalty, and respect.

Ah, amico mio, I remember well. It was lunch on an autumn day in Catania. Mediterranean heat, and the Nero D'Avola wine from midday clinging to the lips like dried blood. Sitting in the shade of a lemon tree planted right by my grandfather's vineyard entrance, my uncle — the oldest of my father’s brothers — spoke little, but when he called us to sit by his side, all the nephews would quiet down to listen. And in my youth, he told me something that has never left my mind.

“In Sicily, the woman who endures the silence of a man about his business is more loyal than the one who is enchanted by speeches about what he does or how much he earns. Perchè, figlio mio, the first one has seen the truth. The second one, only a false shine.”

Thank you for reading, my friend!

If this message resonated with you, consider leaving your "🥃" as a token of appreciation.

A toast to our family!

OSU commencement speech revisited 1 year later

One year ago, May 5, 2024, the commencement speaker at Ohio State University was Chris Pan. He got booed for mentioning bitcoin. There were some other things involved, but the bitcoin part is what could my ears.

Here's an article about the speech and a video clip with the bitcoin mention. The quote that I feel is especially pertinent is this, '“The mechanics of investing are actually easy, but it comes down to mindset,” Pan said. “The most common barriers are fear, laziness and closed-mindedness.”'

Last year, I wrote this and had it sent as a reminder to myself (I received the reminder yesterday after totally forgetting about this):

Ohio State commencement speaker mentions bitcoin and got booed.

I wondered what would've happened if they'd taken his advice to heart and bought bitcoin that day. Linked article: https://www.businessinsider.com/osu-commencement-speaker-ayahuasca-praises-bitcoin-booed-viral-2024-5

Nat Brunell interviewed him on her Coin Stories podcast shortly after his speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRqKxKqlbcI

BTC on 5/5/2024 day of speech: about $64,047 (chart below)

If any of those now wise old 23 year olds remember the advice they were given, bitcoin is currently at $95,476. If any took Pan's advice, they achieved a 49% gain in one year. Those who did not take Pan's advice, lost about 2.7% of their buying power due to inflation.

For bitcoiners, think about how far we've come. May of 2024 was still the waning days of the "War on Crypto," bitcoin was boiling the oceans, if you held, used, or liked bitcoin you were evil. Those were dark days and days I'm glad are behind us.

Here is the full commencement speech. The bitcoin part is around the 5 or 6 minute mark: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lcH-iL_FdYo

Custom Traffic Light Control System

This Petri net represents a traffic control protocol ensuring that two traffic lights alternate safely and are never both green at the same time.

Places & Transitions

• Places:
• greenLight1: Indicates that the first traffic light is green.
• greenLight2: Indicates that the second traffic light is green.
• redLight1: Indicates that the first traffic light is red.
• redLight2: Indicates that the second traffic light is red.

• queue: Acts as a synchronization mechanism ensuring controlled alternation between the two traffic lights.

• Transitions:

• start: Initializes the system by placing tokens in greenLight1 and redLight2.
• toRed1: Moves a token from greenLight1 to redLight1, while placing a token in queue.
• toGreen2: Moves a token from redLight2 to greenLight2, requiring queue.
• toGreen1: Moves a token from queue and redLight1 to greenLight1.
• toRed2: Moves a token from greenLight2 to redLight2, placing a token back into queue.
• stop: Terminates the system by removing tokens from redLight1, queue, and redLight2, representing the system's end state. petrinet ;start () -> greenLight1 redLight2 ;toRed1 greenLight1 -> queue redLight1 ;toGreen2 redLight2 queue -> greenLight2 ;toGreen1 queue redLight1 -> greenLight1 ;toRed2 greenLight2 -> redLight2 queue ;stop redLight1 queue redLight2 -> ()

I think we should agree on an HTML element for pointing to the Nostr representation of a document/URL on the Web. We could use the existing one for link relations for example:

html <link rel="alternate" type="application/nostr+json" href="nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4..." title="This article on Nostr" />

This would be useful in multiple ways:

1. Nostr clients, when fetching meta/preview information for a URL that is linked in a note, can detect that there's a Nostr representation of the content, and then render it in Nostr-native ways (whatever that may be depending on the client)
2. User agents, usually a browser or browser extension, when opening a URL on the Web, can offer opening the alternative representation of a page in a Nostr client. And/or they could offer to follow the author's pubkey on Nostr. And/or they could offer to zap the content.
3. When publishing a new article, authors can share their preferred Web URL everywhere, without having to consider if the reader knows about or uses Nostr at all. However, if a Nostr user finds the Web version of an article outside of Nostr, they can now easily jump to the Nostr version of it.
4. Existing Web publications can retroactively create Nostr versions of their content and easily link the Nostr articles on all of their existing article pages without having to add prominent Nostr links everywhere.

There are probably more use cases, like Nostr search engines and whatnot. If you can think of something interesting, please tell me.

Update: I came up with another interesting use case, which is adding alternate links to RSS and Atom feeds.

Proof of concept

In order to show one way in which this could be used, I have created a small Web Extension called Nostr Links, which will discover alternate Nostr links on the pages you visit.

If it finds one or more links, it will show a purple Nostr icon in the address bar, which you can click to open the list of links. It's similar to e.g. the Feed Preview extension, and also to what the Tor Browser does when it discovers an Onion-Location for the page you're looking at:

The links in this popup menu will be web+nostr: links, because browsers currently do not allow web apps or extensions to handle unprefixed nostr: links. (I hope someone is working on getting those on par with ipfs: etc.)

Following such a link will either open your default Nostr Web app, if you have already configured one, or it will ask you which Web app to open the link with.

Caveat emptor: At the time of writing, my personal default Web app, noStrudel, needs a new release for the links to find the content.

Try it now

Have a look at the source code and/or download the extension (currently only for Firefox).

I have added alternate Nostr links to the Web pages of profiles and long-form content on the Kosmos relay's domain. It's probably the only place on the Web, which will trigger the extension right now.

You can look at this very post to find an alternate link for example.

Update: A certain fiatjaf has added the element to his personal website, which is built entirely from Nostr articles. Multiple other devs also expressed their intent to implement.

Update 2: There is now a pull request for documenting this approach in two existing NIPs. Your feedback is welcome there.

Am Ende der Woche von Unseremeinungsfreiheit wird in der Unserehauptstadt von Unserdeutschland, Unserberlin, voraussichtlich der neue Unserbundeskanzler vereidigt.

Der Schwur des voraussichtlich nächsten Unserbundeskanzlers sollte aktualisiert werden:

Jetzt, wo endlich mein Traum in Erfüllung geht, nur einmal im Leben Unserbundeskanzler zu werden, zahlen sich für mich alle Tricks und Kniffe aus, die ich angewendet habe, um unter allen Umständen in diese Position zu kommen.

Ich schwöre, dass ich meine Kraft meinem Wohle widmen, meinen Nutzen mehren, nach Vorbild meines Vorgängers Schaden von mir wenden, das Grundgesetz und die Gesetze des Unserbundes formen, meine Pflichten  unsergewissenhaft erfüllen und Unseregerechtigkeit gegen jedermann und jederfrau nicht nur üben, sondern unter allen Umständen auch durchsetzen werde, die sich mir bei der Umsetzung der Vorstellungen von Unseredemokratie in den Weg stellen. (So wahr mir wer auch immer helfe).

Der Antrittsbesuch des Unserbundeskanzlers beim Repräsentanten der noch in Unserdeutschland präsenten Besatzungsmacht wird mit Spannung erwartet.

Ein großer Teil der Unsereminister ist schon bekannt. Die Auswahl verspricht viele Unsereüberraschungen.

Die Unsereeinheitspartei, bestehend aus ehemaligen Volksparteien, wird weiterhin dafür sorgen, dass die Nicht-Unsereopposition so wenig wie möglich Einfluss erhält, obwohl sie von den Nicht-Unserebürgern, die mindestens ein Viertel der Urnengänger ausmachen, voll-demokratisch gewählt wurde.

Das Zentralkomitee der Deutschen Unseredemokratischen Bundesrepublik wird zum Wohle seiner Unserebürger alles daransetzen, Unseredemokratie weiter voranzubringen und hofft auch weiterhin auf die Unterstützung von Unser-öffentlich-rechtlicher-Rundfunk.

Die Unserepressefreiheit wird auch weiterhin garantiert.

Auf die Verlautbarungen der Unserepressekonferenz, besetzt mit frischem Unserpersonal, brauchen die Insassen von Unserdeutschland auch weiterhin nicht zu verzichten.

Alles, was nicht gesichert unserdemokratisch ist, gilt als gesichert rechtsextrem.

Als Maxime gilt für alles Handeln: Es muss unter allen Umständen demokratisch aussehen, aber wir (die Unseredemokraten) müssen alles in der Hand haben.

Es ist unwahrscheinlich, dass Unsersondervermögen von den Unserdemokraten zurückgezahlt wird. Dieser Vorzug ist den Unserebürgern und den Nicht-Unserebürgern durch Unseresteuerzahlungen vorbehalten.

Die Unserebundeswehr soll aufgebaut werden (Baut auf, baut auf!), die Unsererüstungsindustrie läuft auf Hochtouren und soll Unserdeutschland wieder unserkriegstüchtig machen, weil Russland immer Unserfeind sein wird.

Von Unserdeutschland soll nur noch Unserfrieden ausgehen.

Zur Bekräftigung, dass alles seinen unser-sozialistischen Gang geht, tauchte die Phoenix*in aus der Asche auf, in dem Unseremutti kürzlich ihren legendären Satz wiederholte:

Wir schaffen das.

Ob damit der endgültige wirtschaftliche Untergang und die Vollendung der gesellschaftlichen Spaltung von Unserdeutschland gemeint war, ist nicht überliefert.

Orwellsche Schlussfolgerung:

Wir = unser

Ihr = Euer

Vogel und Maus passen nicht zusammen

Ausgerichtet auf Ruinen und der Zukunft abgewandt, Uneinigkeit und Unrecht und Unfreiheit für das deutsche Unserland.

Unserdeutschland – ein Land mit viel Vergangenheit und wenig Zukunft?

Es ist zum Heulen.

传统黑客松：闪耀火花中的局限

过去几十年里，黑客松一直是技术文化的培养皿——24小时或48小时的狂热编程马拉松，在披萨、咖啡因和几近不可能的乐观情绪中推进。

自1999年Sun Microsystems首次举办黑客松，要求Java开发者在Palm V掌上电脑上完成一日编程，到创业公司和大学里通宵达旦的“黑客日”[1]，这些活动始终在庆祝黑客精神。它们为我们带来了Facebook的“点赞”按钮和聊天功能——这些标志性的创新[1]，皆诞生于一夜之间的即兴狂想。

它们也催生了如GroupMe这样的公司——这个应用仅用了几个深夜时段就完成开发，一年后就被Skype以8000万美元收购[2]。

黑客松逐渐成为技术界的传说，成为“无拘束创造力”的代名词。然而，尽管充满激情和炒作，传统黑客松却存在着严重的局限：它们是偶发、线下的活动——更像是“蓝月亮”才出现一次的肾上腺素爆发，而不是一种可持续的创新流程。

一次黑客松也许能在周末召集100名程序员共聚一室，但活动结束后便销声匿迹，直到下一年。

频率低、规模小、触达有限。只有能亲临现场的人（往往是硅谷或精英高校）才有机会参与。哪怕你是来自拉各斯或圣保罗的天才黑客，只要身处远方，你的绝妙创意也注定被忽视。

这类冲刺式活动的成果也极为受限。

当然，团队可能构建出炫酷的演示项目，并赢得一时风头。但大多数情况下，这些项目只是一次性原型——“玩具”应用，最终并未发展为真正的产品或公司。有研究表明，只有约5%的黑客松项目在活动结束几个月后还有任何生命迹象[3]。

其余95%则如烟云般消散——在“黑客松宿醉”中夭折：人们回到“正职”，而演示代码也蒙尘。

批评者甚至给黑客松取了个贬义的别名：“周末虚耗松”（weekend wastedathons），抨击其成果如同短命的“蒸汽软件”（vaporware）[3]。

想想看：一阵创造力的爆发，数十个点子竞相绽放……然后呢？

你能说出几个真正从黑客松走出的成功企业名字？对于每一个如Carousell或EasyTaxi那样从黑客松中诞生、后来成功融资数千万美元的项目，就有几百个聪明的创意组合永远不见天日[2]。

传统黑客松模式，尽管令人兴奋，却极少能转化为持续的创新。

它更像是被时间、地域和后续缺失所束缚的孤岛式创新。黑客松是事件，不是流程；它是烟花，不是日出。

此外，黑客松在历史上一直颇为封闭。

直到近年，它们主要由技术圈内人士自办自娱。大型科技公司会举办内部黑客松，以激发员工创造力（Facebook每几周举办一次通宵活动，最终诞生了时间线和标记功能，影响了十亿用户 [1]）；NASA和世界银行也曾尝试用黑客松推进公民科技。但这些都是例外，印证了一个普遍规律：黑客松从来不是常规工作流程，而是特例事件。

在科技巨头之外，鲜有组织具备资源或经验能频繁举办黑客松。

除非你是Google、Microsoft，或资金雄厚的创业孵化器，否则黑客松只是一场偶尔奢侈的尝试。事实上，当今世界上最大的黑客松是微软的内部全球黑客松——有多达70,000名员工跨越75个国家同时参与，这是壮观的成就，但唯有企业巨头才能负担得起[4]。

而中小型玩家只能仰望、惊叹。

限制显而易见：黑客松太少见、太封闭，无法真正激活全球人才库；周期太短，难以构建成熟产品；过于孤立，无法真正撼动行业。

没错，它们确实产生过惊艳的灵感时刻——创新的闪光灯。

但若视其为持续进步的机制，传统黑客松则显得捉襟见肘。作为投资者或科技领袖，你或许会为创造力鼓掌，但仍会追问：真正的长期影响在哪里？有谁搭建了把这些火花转化为持续光束的基础设施？

正如克莱顿·克里斯滕森的《创新者的窘境》所言，传统巨头往往将黑客松项目视作“玩具”——有趣但不切实际。

而事实上，“每一个未来的大事物，起初总是被当作玩具”。黑客松的确催生了不少“玩具”，却极少能拥有支持系统去把它们变为下一个伟大的事物。

这个模式，是时候被重新发明了。

为何到了2020年代，我们还在用1990年代的创新方式？为何将突破性的想法限制在一个周末或一个地点？为何允许95%的早期创新无声凋谢？

这些问题，悬而未解，等待着回答。

Hackathons 2.0 ——DoraHacks与黑客松的第一次进化（2020–2024）

DoraHacks登场。

在2020年代初，DoraHacks如同一台“心脏除颤器”，令黑客松这种形式重获新生。DoraHacks 1.0（大致始于2020年、延续至2024年）并非对黑客松的微调，而是对其彻底的重塑：将传统黑客松从1.0升级到2.0。它汲取原有理念，加速、扩展并升级至全维度，全方位放大其影响力。结果是一场全球黑客运动的兴起，一个将黑客松从“一锤子买卖”变为持续技术创新引擎的平台。

DoraHacks如何革命性地重构黑客松？请看以下几个维度：

从24小时到24天（甚至24周）——时间轴的重构

DoraHacks拉长了黑客松的时间框架，解锁了远超以往的创新潜能。

相比于传统那种紧张焦躁的24小时冲刺，DoraHacks支持的黑客松往往持续数周甚至数月——这是一场范式转变。

团队终于有了足够时间去打磨原型、迭代优化、反复精炼。更长的周期意味着项目能从粗糙演示走向成熟MVP。黑客们终于可以“偶尔睡觉”，引入用户反馈，将灵感的火花铸造成实用的成果。

时间的延展模糊了黑客松与加速器之间的界限，但保留了黑客松自由、开放的精神。例如，DoraHacks为区块链初创团队组织的黑客松通常持续6到8周，最终成果往往能吸引真实用户与投资人。

延长的时间，把“玩具”变成了产品。就像黑客松终于“长大成人”：Less Hack, More BUIDL（少些临时拼凑，多些踏实构建）。打破24小时范式之后，黑客松真正变得更高效、更深远、更具生产力。

从街角咖啡馆到全球虚拟竞技场——地理限制的打破

DoraHacks将黑客松从线下搬到云端，释放出全球参与的可能性。

2020年之前，黑客松意味着必须到现场——可能是旧金山某仓库，或是大学实验室，与本地队友并肩作战。而DoraHacks颠覆了这一格局：任何人、任何地方，只要连上网络，就可以参与。

一位尼日利亚的开发者、乌克兰的设计师、巴西的产品经理，如今可以在同一场线上黑客松中协作创新。地理边界不复存在。

当DoraHacks举办面向非洲区块链开发者的Naija HackAtom时，吸引了来自尼日利亚科技社群的500多名参与者（包括160多位开发者，odaily.news）。在另一场活动中，来自数十个国家的黑客同时在线参与、构思、竞争 [6]。

这种全球性拓展不仅增加了参与人数，更引入了多样的视角和本地问题。一个金融科技黑客松中，可能有拉美开发者解决汇款问题；一个AI黑客松中，亚洲或非洲开发者将机器学习应用于本地医疗。

线上化，让黑客松变得真正普惠。DoraHacks有效地民主化了创新的入场门槛——你只需要一根网线和一颗创作的心。

结果是：创意的数量与质量实现量子飞跃。 黑客松不再是精英小圈子的游戏，而是一场面向全人类的全球创新嘉年华。

从几十人到数万人——规模的跃迁

DoraHacks推动的另一项革命，就是规模的扩展。传统黑客松人少而亲密（几十人，顶多几百）。DoraHacks则催生了成千上万人参与、数百万美元奖金池的大型活动。

例如，在2021年的一场线上黑客松中，近7000名参与者提交了550个项目，争夺500万美元奖金。这是2010年代初期根本无法想象的规模[7]。

DoraHacks本身也成为这些“超级黑客松”的中枢。平台在Web3领域所举办的黑客松常常吸引数百支队伍参赛，奖金高达数百万美元。

这不只是好看的数据，而是更广泛的全球人才投入，也带来了更高概率的真正突破性成果。

以BNB Chain支持的黑客松系列为例，在DoraHacks推动下，有216支开发团队获得了超过1000万美元的资金支持[8]——是的，真金白银的种子投资。这哪是黑客松？简直就是一个小型经济体。

奖池也从“披萨钱”膨胀成“起步资本”，吸引那些有抱负、懂商业的创业者参与。越来越多的项目不再只是周末练习，而是具备融资能力的初创企业。黑客松，也由“科技科学展”升格为“全球创业发射台”。

从玩具项目到真公司（甚至独角兽）——成果的飞跃

最令人振奋的一点是：DoraHacks所孵化的项目，不只是应用，更是真正的公司。其中一些甚至成长为独角兽（估值超过10亿美元的公司）。

我们之前提到过2020年之前为数不多的成功案例，比如Carousell（一个在2012年黑客松上诞生的小点子，如今已成为估值11亿美元的二手市场[2]），或EasyTaxi（始于黑客松，后融资7500万美元、覆盖30个国家[2]）。

DoraHacks让这种奇迹频繁上演。通过更长的周期、更多的支持、更好的资金接力，黑客松逐渐成为真正的“创新孵化器”。

以1inch Network为例——它是一家去中心化金融聚合平台，起初就是在2019年一个黑客松中诞生的。创始人Sergej Kunz和Anton Bukov在社区支持下完成了最初的原型，随后持续迭代。

如今，1inch的累计交易额已超4000亿美元，成为DeFi领域的头部平台之一 [9]。

再看DoraHacks Web3黑客松中的优胜者，许多项目已经完成了数百万美元的融资，获得顶级VC支持。

黑客松成为了“创业世界的前门”，创始人往往在此首次亮相。比如Solana Season Hackathons中的热门项目STEPN —— 一个“边走边赚”应用，于2021年赢得黑客松奖项，不久后就成长为拥有数十亿美元代币经济的现象级产品[10]。

这不是孤立事件，而是DoraHacks设定的系统性趋势。它的黑客松正在源源不断地产出可投、可用、可落地的创业项目。

某种意义上，DoraHacks模糊了黑客松与早期孵化器的界限。玩乐的黑客精神依然在，但结果已不只是炫耀——而是真实存在的公司，有用户，有营收，有估值。

借用投资人Chris Dixon的话说：DoraHacks把那些“玩具”，扶育成了下一个伟大的事物[5]。

DoraHacks不仅优化了旧模式，它创造了一个全新的创新生态

DoraHacks主导的第一次黑客松进化，不只是“修补优化”，而是打造了一个全新的创新系统。

黑客松变得高频、全球化、具决定性影响。

它不再是短暂的周末狂欢，而是持续的创新供给链。

DoraHacks平台每年孵化出上百个可行项目，其中很多都获得后续融资。它不仅提供活动本身，更提供“术后护理”：社区支持、导师指导、连接投资人与资助渠道（如DoraHacks的资助计划和二次方资助机制）。 到2024年，成果不言自明。DoraHacks已成长为全球最重要的黑客松平台——一个贯通区块链、AI乃至更多前沿科技的黑客运动中枢。

数据不会说谎。

9年间，DoraHacks帮助4000多个项目获得超过3000万美元资金（coindesk.com）[11]；到2025年，这一数字飙升，DoraHacks支持的黑客松和资助总计为超过21000个初创团队提供了逾8000万美元资金（linkedin.com）[12]。

这不是夸张宣传——而是写入技术史的事实。CoinDesk评价道：“DoraHacks已成为全球最活跃的多链Web3开发平台与黑客松组织者之一。”（coindesk.com）[13]

主流技术生态纷纷注意到这一趋势。

超过40个公链（包括L1与L2）——从Solana到Polygon再到Avalanche——皆与DoraHacks合作，组织黑客松与开放创新计划（blockworks.co）[13]。

Blockworks 报道称，DoraHacks已成为数十个Web3生态系统的“核心合作伙伴”，帮助他们连接全球开发者资源（blockworks.co）[11]。

在投资人眼中，DoraHacks本身就是关键基础设施：“DoraHacks对Web3基础设施建设至关重要。”一位支持平台的VC如此指出（blockworks.co）[13]。

简而言之：到2024年，DoraHacks已将黑客松从一个小众事件变为全球创新引擎。

它证明：只要规模足够、流程健全，黑客松可以持续地产出真实、可投、可商业化的创新。

它连接开发者与资源，把“孤岛式创新”变成一场全球开发者的常青运动。

这就是Hackathons 2.0：更大、更久、更无界，也远比以往更具颠覆性。

也许你会问：还能比这更好吗？

DoraHacks似乎已经破解了“如何让黑客创造力产生持久影响”的密码。

但这并不是终点。事实上，DoraHacks团队即将揭示的，是一场更加激进的革命。

如果说DoraHacks 1.0是“进化”，那接下来将是一次范式转移的“革命”。

Agentic Hackathon：BUIDL AI与第二次黑客松革命

2024年，DoraHacks推出了BUIDL AI，并由此提出了“Agentic Hackathon（自主智能黑客松）”的概念。

如果说最初的黑客松像是模拟电话，DoraHacks 1.0则使其进化为智能手机，那么BUIDL AI的出现，就像为黑客松安装上了AI副驾驶——进入自动驾驶模式。

这不仅是渐进式的提升，而是一场彻底的第二次革命。

BUIDL AI为黑客松注入了人工智能、自动化与“智能代理”能力（Agentic），根本性地改变了黑客松的组织方式与体验路径。

我们正迈入“自主智能创新时代（Age of Agentic Innovation）”，在这个时代中，借助AI代理运行的黑客松可以以前所未有的频率、高效与智慧展开。

那么，究竟什么是Agentic Hackathon？

它是一种由AI代理全面增强的黑客松，从策划、评审到参与者支持都涵盖在内，使得创新的速度与规模达到前所未有的高度。

在Agentic Hackathon中，AI是那位永不疲倦的共同组织者，与人类并肩工作。 过去那些压垮组织者的繁琐流程，如今交由智能算法完成。你可以想象——黑客松几乎在自动运行，如同一场永不停歇的“点子锦标赛”。

借助BUIDL AI，DoraHacks实现了“自驾黑客松”：自主、高效、全天候运行，且可在多个领域同时并行。 这并非科幻小说，而是正在发生的现实。我们来看BUIDL AI是如何运作的，以及它如何将黑客松效率提升十倍以上：

AI驱动的评审与项目筛选：效率提升10倍以上

大型黑客松中最耗时的环节之一就是评审数百个项目提交。传统做法常常需要组织者耗费数周精力，才能从中筛选出有潜力的项目。

BUIDL AI彻底改变了这一切。

它配备了BUIDL Review模块——一个AI驱动的评审系统，能够从多个维度（项目完整性、创意性、主题契合度等）智能分析项目，并自动剔除质量较低的提交[14]。

就像配备了一支随叫随到的专家评审军团。

效果如何？原本需要几百人小时完成的工作，如今几分钟即可完成。

DoraHacks报告称，AI辅助评审已将组织效率提高超过10倍[14]。

想象一下：一项原本需要一个月枯燥工作完成的任务，如今在几天之内搞定，而且评分更一致、公正、透明。 组织者不再淹没在文书工作中，参与者也能更快获得反馈。

当然，AI并不完全取代人工评委——最终决策仍需专家参与，但AI承担了繁重的初审环节。这也意味着：黑客松可放心接纳更多项目提交，因为AI会帮你完成筛选。

不再因为“人手不足”而限制报名人数。

在Agentic Hackathon中，再也没有优秀项目被埋没的遗憾，因为AI确保它们都能被看到。

自动化市场营销与内容讲述：让每场黑客松都自带扩散力

赢得一场黑客松固然令人激动，但如果无人知晓，影响力也就大打折扣。

过去，黑客松结束后，组织者通常需要手动撰写总结、撰文致谢、更新结果——虽然重要，却常常被推迟。

BUIDL AI改变了这一点。

它配备了自动化营销模块，可一键生成黑客松的总结报告与传播内容[14]。

想象这样一个AI，它完整“观察”了整场黑客松（包括提交项目、获奖名单、技术趋势），然后自动撰写出一份专业报道：突出最佳创意、介绍获胜团队、提炼洞察（比如“本次黑客松中60%的项目应用AI于医疗场景”）。

BUIDL AI正是这么做的：自动生成“高光集锦”与总结报告[14]。

这不仅节省了组织者的写作工作，还极大提升了黑客松的传播力。

活动结束数小时内，一份内容丰富的总结即可全球发布，展示创新成果，吸引关注。

赞助方与合作伙伴对此尤为青睐，因为他们的投资能被迅速宣传；参与者也很喜欢，因为自己的项目立刻获得庆祝与曝光。

本质上，每一场黑客松都在讲述一个故事，而BUIDL AI确保这个故事被迅速、广泛地传播。

这种自动化叙事机制，使得黑客松不再是孤立事件，而是持续内容的源泉，为下一场活动积蓄动能。

这是一个良性循环：黑客松产出创新，AI包装传播，传播吸引更多创新者。

一键发起，多黑客松并行：组织者的自由释放

BUIDL AI最具解放性的功能之一，是一键启动黑客松、支持多场并行管理。

过去，发起一场黑客松本身就是一项大型项目：报名系统、评委协调、奖金设计、沟通流程……一切都需人工配置。

DoraHacks的BUIDL AI引入了“一键发起黑客松”工具 [14] 。

组织者只需输入基本信息（主题、奖池、时间、评审规则），平台即自动生成活动页面、提交入口、评审流程等，就像发一篇博客一样简单。

这极大降低了社区与公司举办黑客松的门槛。

如今，即使是一个初创公司或大学社团，也可以轻松举办全球级黑客松，无需专职活动团队。

此外，BUIDL AI还支持多场黑客松的并行管理[14]。

过去，即使是科技巨头也难以同步组织多场黑客松——资源消耗太大。如今，一个生态系统可以同时运行DeFi、AI、 IoT等主题黑客松，背后由AI自动调度。

自BUIDL AI发布以来，组织12场/年，甚至同时运行数场黑客松，从“不可能”变成常规操作[14]。

平台还自动管理参与者接入、发送提醒、通过聊天机器人回答常见问题，确保流程顺畅。

简而言之，BUIDL AI让黑客松主办方像使用云服务器一样“按需发起”创新活动。

这是一场结构性转变：黑客松不再是“偶尔有空才办”的事件，而是“需要时就能发”的常态流程。 我们正在见证永续黑客松文化的诞生——不再是偶尔的火花，而是持续的火焰，始终燃烧，永不熄灭。

实时AI导师与智能助手：人人皆可成为“Agentic Hacker”

Agentic Hackathon的“智能代理”不仅体现在后台，也贯穿了参与者的体验。

借助AI集成，开发者得到了更智能的工具与支持。

例如，BUIDL AI可以配备AI助手，在活动中实时回答开发者问题（如“这个API怎么用？”、“有没有这个算法的代码示 例？”），就像随叫随到的技术导师。

它还可以推荐协作伙伴、推送参考资料。

本质上，每位参与者都像身边多了一个AI队友——全能、勤奋、永不疲倦。

一些本需数小时调试的bug，借助AI助手几分钟即可解决。

这意味着：项目质量提升，参与者学习效率大幅提高。

正如followin.io所言，这种“agentic协助”体现了“人人皆可成为黑客”的愿景[14]。

AI自动化了大量重复性工作，放大了小团队的能力边界[14]。

在Agentic Hackathon中，两个人加AI助手，就能完成过去五人团队数周才能达成的任务[14]。

这既降低了门槛，也拉高了上限——创新的天花板不再遥不可及。

总结：从黑客松2.0跃迁至3.0，进入智能化持续创新的新时代

所有这些变革，指向同一个事实：黑客松已从偶发的灵感爆发，演化为持续、高频、AI优化的创新流程。

我们正从黑客松2.0走向黑客松3.0——一个自主、常驻、智能的新时代。

这是一场范式转移。

黑客松不再是你参加的一场活动，而是你生活的一个创新环境。

借助BUIDL AI，DoraHacks描绘出这样的世界：“黑客松将进入一个前所未有的自动化与智能化时代，使全球更多黑客、开发者与开源社区能够轻松发起与参与。”

创新将随时随地发生，因为支持它的基础设施正由AI驱动、全天候运转于云端。

黑客松已成为一个智能平台，随时准备将创意转化为现实。

更关键的是，这一切并不局限于区块链。

BUIDL AI是通用平台——无论是AI、气候科技、医疗、教育等领域，都可接入Agentic Hackathon平台，享受更高频、更高效的创新节奏。

这预示着一个未来：黑客松将成为默认的解决问题方式。

公司与社区不再靠封闭的委员会与研发部门推进创新，而是将问题投入黑客松竞技场——一个始终活跃的解决问题引擎。

形象地说：

**DoraHacks 1.0 让黑客松拥有了高速引擎；

DoraHacks 2.0 加上 BUIDL AI，则让它变成一辆自动驾驶的赛车——油门踩到底。**

成本、复杂度、时间的阻碍——都不复存在。

如今，任何组织都能毫无阻力地驶入创新高速公路，从0加速到60。

黑客松频率如博客更新，融入日常运营，如同敏捷开发的冲刺演示。

按需创新，规模扩张——这就是Agentic Hackathon的力量。

随需创新：Agentic Hackathon 如何惠及所有人

Agentic Hackathon（自主智能黑客松）的诞生，并非只是技术社区的一款“新奇玩具”，而是一种变革性的工具，可服务于企业、开发者，乃至整个行业。

我们正步入一个全新时代：任何拥有愿景的人都能将“黑客松即服务”转化为推动创新的引擎。以下是不同参与者如何从这场革命中受益：

AI公司 —— 加速生态成长的发动机

对于专注于人工智能的公司（如 OpenAI、Google、Microsoft、Stability AI 等），黑客松是一座座发掘其技术创意用途的金矿。

如今借助 Agentic Hackathon，这些公司几乎可以为自己的平台持续举办一场“永不落幕”的开发者大会。

比如，OpenAI 可以为 GPT-4 或 DALL·E 启动全年在线的黑客松，鼓励全球开发者持续实验、展示这些AI的应用场景——本质上，以众包方式为AI平台孵化创新与杀手级应用。

收益何在？生态系统和用户基数的指数级扩展。

新的用例往往来自公司内部未曾设想的角落。 （最早展示 GPT-3 能撰写法律合同、生成游戏关卡的，不是大公司，而是独立黑客——他们在黑客松和社区挑战中发现了这些潜力。）

有了 BUIDL AI，AI 公司可以一键启动月度黑客松，每月聚焦不同方向（比如本月自然语言处理，下月机器人控制）。 这是市场营销与产品研发的倍增器。

无需再组织昂贵的开发者布道之旅，AI 将成为全球开发者互动的主力军。产品在推广的同时也在优化。 本质上，每家AI公司都可以开启自己的“黑客松联赛”，推动API或模型的普及与应用。

Coinbase最近首次举办AI主题黑客松，尝试连接加密与AI领域——他们很清楚，要播下新范式的种子，黑客松是最佳路径[15] 。

未来，我们将看到所有AI平台效仿：持续通过黑客松教育开发者、生成内容（演示、教程），并发掘可投资/可招聘的杰出人才。这将是社区建设的超级助推器。

L1/L2与技术平台 —— 发现下一只独角兽

对于区块链的一层/二层网络（Layer1/Layer2），以及任何技术平台（如云服务、VR平台等）来说，黑客松已成为新的“Deal Flow”（项目源）。

在 Web3 世界里，许多顶级项目与协议都诞生于黑客松，这一点早已被广泛认同。

我们看到，1inch 就是始于黑客松，后来成长为 DeFi 独角兽（cointelegraph.com）[9]。

Polygon 积极举办黑客松以寻找其生态的新型dApps；Filecoin 借助黑客松发掘分布式存储应用。

借助 DoraHacks 和 BUIDL AI，这些平台现在可以高频率地组织黑客松，持续输出创新成果。

不再是一年一两次大型活动，而是一个滚动进行的计划——比如每季度一场，甚至同时多地开展全球挑战，保持开发者“常态建设”。

回报率巨大：即使设有可观奖金，黑客松的举办成本也远低于收购一个蓬勃发展的初创公司或协议所需投入。 黑客松本质上是将早期研发外包给充满热情的社区成员，最好的创意自然浮现。

Solana 的黑客松就促成了 Phantom、Solend 等明星项目的落地。Facebook 的内部黑客松也曾带来推动平台主导地位的功能创新[1]。

现在，任何平台都可以将黑客松“外部化”：作为发现人才与创新的“雷达”。借助 BUIDL AI，哪怕一个 L2 区块链的核心团队人手有限，也能并行运行多场黑客松与赏金任务——一场关注 DeFi，一场关注 NFT，一场关注游戏等等。

AI 负责初审项目与管理社区问答，让平台的 DevRel 团队不至于“过劳”。结果是，一条源源不断的创新供给链，不断喂养平台增长。下一个独角兽、下一个杀手级应用，将被提前识别并扶持成长。

黑客松已成为 VC 和技术生态的新型创业漏斗（Startup Funnel）。

未来，投资人将活跃于 Agentic Hackathon 中——因为那里正是“未来车库”的所在：黑客们聚集在云端黑客室中重塑世界。

正如 Paul Graham 所言：“黑客与画家，皆为创造者”，他们将在黑客松平台的画布上，描绘未来科技的蓝图。

所有公司与社区 —— 创新成为一种持续流程

或许 BUIDL AI 最深远的影响是：让所有组织都能举办黑客松，不再局限于科技公司。

任何希望推动创新的机构——银行探索金融科技、医院网络寻找医疗科技方案、政府寻找公民科技创意——都可以利用 Agentic Hackathon。

创新不再是巨头的特权，它成为一项“云服务”，人人可用。

比如，一个城市政府可以举办全年黑客松，征集“智慧城市”解决方案，让本地开发者持续提出、建设项目以改善城市生活。

BUIDL AI 平台可以设置不同“赛道”：交通、能源、安全，每月评选最佳创意并给予奖励。

这比传统招标流程更加灵活，能更高效地激发社区活力与项目孵化。

同样地，任何担心被颠覆的财富500强公司（其实谁不担心？）都可以主动“自我颠覆”——通过黑客松邀请员工和外部创新者挑战企业自身难题。

在 agentic 模式下，即使是非技术型公司也能轻松参与；AI 会引导流程，保障运行顺畅。试想：黑客松成为每一家企业战略部门的“标配工具”，不断原型化未来。

正如 Marc Andreessen 所说，“软件正在吞噬整个世界”——而现在，每家公司都可以通过举办黑客松，参与“软件化”自身问题的过程。

这将推动跨行业的创新民主化。

尝试大胆创意的门槛大幅降低（周末黑客松 vs. 数月企业流程），更多潜在颠覆性创意将在企业内部浮现。

有了 DoraHacks 的全球影响力，企业也能轻松吸引外部创新者参与。

零售公司为何不能从全球黑客那里众包 AR 购物创意？

制药公司为何不办场生物信息学黑客松以探索数据分析新方法？

答案只有一个：没有理由不做。Agentic Hackathon 让一切变得可行、值得。

黑客松即服务（Hackathon-as-a-Service）将成为下一代的创新部门——要么使用它，要么被使用它的人超越。

结语：从偶发事件到创新基础设施的演进

所有上述变革，归结为一个深刻转变：黑客松正从一次性的活动，演变为创新生态系统中的常驻组成部分。

它们正成为像云计算、宽带网络一样的基础资源：随时可用，规模无限。

想获得新点子或原型？办场黑客松，让全球开发者接招。

想激活开发者社群？发布主题黑客松，提供舞台。

想试验10种解决方案？来一场比赛，看看谁跑出来。

我们正在见证所谓“创新公地（Innovation Commons）”的诞生：一个持续匹配问题与创意、迅速迭代解决方案的协 作空间。

AI是这片公地的维护者，保证运行高效、协作持久，不再需要消耗人为组织者的精力。

这也正好回应了人们对黑客松的批评：缺乏可持续性与后续跟进。

而在Agentic模型中，黑客松不再是孤岛——它们可以彼此衔接：上届的优胜团队可以直接晋级加速器，或参与下月的 新主题挑战。

BUIDL AI 甚至可以追踪团队进展，推荐资助机会、合作方、甚至下一步要申请的Grant，彻底解决过去“项目周末之后无人接手”的痛点。

好项目不会在周日夜晚“死掉”，而是被自动引导进入下一阶段的旅程。

我们还应认识到一种更深层的哲学意义：

创新文化，变得更具实验性、更重才智、更具节奏感。

在Agentic Hackathon的世界中，座右铭是：“为啥不原型一下？为啥不现在就试？”

因为启动一场实验的门槛如此之低，创新思维将像空气般流入每一个组织、每一个社区。

失败的成本极低（只需几周），成功的可能却极高（也许就是下一个突破）。

这是一块供“颠覆性想法”安全试验的沙盒，也正是解决《创新者的窘境》的现实路径：

结构性地为那些被视为“玩具”的想法，保留生长空间[5]。

企业无需在“核心业务”与“实验创新”之间二选一——他们可以为后者开设一条常驻黑客松轨道。

本质上，DoraHacks 与 BUIDL AI 打造了一座“创新工厂”——任何有远见的组织都可以“租用”一周末，甚至一年。

从 Like 按钮到点火升空：黑客松是创新的摇篮

要真正理解这个新时代的分量，我们不妨回顾一下——多少改变世界的创新，其实起源于黑客松项目或类似黑客松的实验，即使当时还受限于旧有模式。而现在，随着这些限制被移除，我们能期待的，将远远不止于此。 历史本身，就是黑客松创新模式的最佳佐证：

Facebook 的基因，由黑客松塑造

马克·扎克伯格本人曾表示，Facebook 的许多关键功能都来自公司内部的黑客松：“点赞”按钮、Facebook Chat、时间线功能，无一不是工程师们在通宵达旦的黑客松中迸发出的创意[1]。

一位实习生在黑客松中构建的“评论区标记好友”原型，在短短两周后就上线，触达了十亿用户[1]。Facebook 的核心理念“Move fast and break things（快速行动，大胆试错）”，几乎就是黑客松精神的官方化表达。

可以毫不夸张地说，Facebook 能在2000年代超越 MySpace，正是得益于其由黑客松推动的快速创新文化[1]。

如果黑客松能在一家公司的内部产生如此颠覆性作用，想象一下——当它成为全球网络时，创新的速度将怎样改变整个世界？

Google 的“20% 时间”项目：制度化的黑客精神

Google 长期鼓励员工将20%的时间投入到自由探索的副项目中，这本质上是黑客松理念的延伸：结构外的探索实验。 Gmail 和 Google News 就是这样诞生的。

此外，Google 也曾围绕其 API 举办公开黑客松（如 Android 黑客松），催生了无数应用。

换句话说，Google 将黑客式实验制度化，获得了巨大的创新红利。

如今借助 Agentic Hackathon，即便没有 Google 资源的公司，也能制度化实验文化。

世界各地的开发者，都可以把每个周末当作自己的“20%时间”，借由这些平台启动属于自己的探索。

开源运动的推进器：Hackathons + Open Source = 强生态

开源软件世界也从“代码冲刺”（黑客松形式）中受益匪浅。

例如整个 OpenBSD 操作系统的开发就离不开其定期举办的黑客松[3]。

近年来，Node.js 与 TensorFlow 等项目也都通过黑客松来构建工具与生态组件。

其结果是：更强壮的技术生态，更活跃的贡献者社群。

DoraHacks 也在延续这种传统，并将自己定位为“全球领先的黑客松社区与开源开发者激励平台”[17]。

开源与黑客松的结合——都去中心化、社群驱动、基于 meritocracy（才智主义）——本身就是创新引擎。

我们可以预见，未来开源项目将借助 BUIDL AI 启动“永不停歇的黑客松”：持续修复 bug、加入新功能、奖励优秀贡献者。

这将为开源世界注入新生命——不仅通过奖金提供激励，还能以系统化的方式提供认可与传播。

初创世界：黑客松造就新公司

众多初创企业的起点，都是黑客松。 我们已提到的 Carousell（起于Startup Weekend，估值超10亿美元[2]）、EasyTaxi（同样出自Startup Weekend，融资7500万美元[2]）。 再加上：

• Zapier（集成工具平台，灵感来自黑客松）
• GroupMe（如前所述，被Skype收购）
• Instacart（传说在Y Combinator Demo Day 黑客松中以早期版本夺得优胜）
• 以及无数加密初创项目（包括 Ethereum 创始人们的相识与合作也源于早期黑客松与比特币线下聚会）

如今，当 Coinbase 想寻找链上 AI 的下一个机会时，他们办一场黑客松[15]。

Stripe 想推动支付平台上的应用数量，也选择了办黑客松并发放 Bounty。

这种模式行之有效：找到充满热情的构建者，为他们提供跳板。

有了 Agentic Hackathon，这个跳板不再只是弹射一次，而是始终在线，能接住更多人。

这个“创业漏斗”变宽了，我们将看到更多初创企业诞生于黑客松。

完全可以想象：

2030年代最伟大的公司，不会诞生于车库，而是源自一场在线黑客松，由几个在 Discord 上认识的开发者，在 AI 导师协助下完成原型，并在 DoraHacks 平台数周内获得融资。

换句话说，“车库神话”已进化为全球、云端、AI驱动的创业现实。

黑客与画家：创造者的共鸣

Paul Graham 在《Hackers & Painters》中曾将“黑客”比作“画家”——两者皆为纯粹的创作者[16]。

而黑客松，正是这种创造能量最集中、最爆发的场域。

许多伟大程序员都会告诉你，他们最具灵感的作品，正是在黑客松或秘密小项目中完成的——在没有官僚主义的束缚 下，沉浸于“心流”中完成的创作。

扩大黑客松的规模与频率，本质上就是扩大人类的创造力边界。

我们或许会想起文艺复兴时期——艺术家与发明家聚集在赞助人举办的工坊中自由创作；而如今，黑客松就是现代文艺复兴的“创客工坊”。

它融合了艺术、科学与企业家精神。

若达·芬奇活在今天，他一定会如鱼得水地出现在黑客松中——他以疯狂原型迭代著称。

更重要的是：黑客松完美解决了《创新者的窘境》中的核心问题：鼓励人们去做那些 incumbent（巨头）不屑一顾、看似“小而无用”的项目——而那恰恰往往是颠覆性创新的藏身之处 [5]。

DoraHacks 正是通过制度化黑客松，制度化了颠覆本身——确保下一个 Netflix、Airbnb，不会因为“听起来像个玩具”而被错过。

黑客松已成为全球创新基础设施的一部分

我们已从“黑客松罕见且本地化”的时代，走到了“黑客松持续且全球化”的今天。

这不仅是节奏上的转变，更是全球创新基础设施的关键转折点。

19世纪，我们修建了铁路与电报，催化了工业革命，连接了市场与思想；

20世纪，我们构建了互联网与万维网，引爆了信息革命；

而今，21世纪，DoraHacks 与 BUIDL AI 正在搭建“创新高速公路”：一个持续运行、AI驱动的网络，

在全球范围内，实时连接解决者与问题、人才与机会、资本与创意。

这是为 创新本身修建的基础设施。

伟大的愿景：全球创新的新基础设施

我们正站在一个历史拐点上。

有了 DoraHacks 和 Agentic Hackathon（自主智能黑客松）的出现，创新不再局限于象牙塔、硅谷办公室，或一年一度的大会。

它正成为一项持续的全球性活动——一个随时随地聚集最聪明头脑与最大胆创意的竞技场。

这是一个未来：创新将像 Wi-Fi 一样无处不在，像摩尔定律一样不断加速。

这是 DoraHacks 正在主动构建的未来，而它所带来的影响将是深远的。

想象几年之后的世界：DoraHacks + BUIDL AI 成为跨行业创新项目的默认基础设施。

这个平台7×24不间断运转，承载着从 AI 医疗、气候变化应对，到艺术娱乐前沿的各类黑客松。

而且它不仅仅属于程序员——设计师、创业者、科学家，任何有创造力冲动的人，都能接入这张全球创新网络。

一个伦敦的创业者凌晨2点冒出商业点子；2点15分，她就在 DoraHacks 上发起一场48小时黑客松，AI 自动为她召集来自四大洲的协作者。

听起来疯狂？但未来这将成为常态。

亚洲某国突发环境危机，政府通过 BUIDL AI 紧急发起黑客松，数日内即收到来自全球的数十个可执行科技方案。 纽约某家风投基金希望发现新项目，不再只是等着 PPT 投递——他们直接赞助一场开放黑客松，要求提交原型，而非空谈构想。

这就是 Agentic 创新正在发生的方式：快速、无边界、智能协作。 在这个即将到来的时代，DoraHacks 将如同 GitHub 之于代码、AWS 之于初创企业一般，成为全球创新的基础平台。

你甚至可以称它为创新的 GitHub——不是一个存储代码的工具，而是项目诞生的土壤[17]。 DoraHacks 自称是“全球黑客运动的引擎”；而有了 BUIDL AI，它更成为这场运动的自动驾驶系统。

我们应将其视为全球公共创新基础设施的一部分：

正如高速公路运输货物、互联网传递信息，DoraHacks 传递的是创新本身——

从创意萌芽到落地实施，以惊人的速度。

当历史回顾2020年代，持续性、AI驱动的黑客松的诞生，将被视为人类创新模式变革的重要篇章。

这是一幅宏大但真实可触的愿景：

创新，将变成一场永恒的黑客松。

设想一下：

黑客精神深入社会每个角落，成为对现状的持续挑战，时刻发出这样的提问：

“我们如何改进这件事？”、“我们如何重新发明那件事？”

然后立刻号召人才，迅速投入行动。

这不是混乱，而是一种全新的、有组织、去中心化的研发模式。

一个大胆问题——“我们能治愈这种疾病吗？”、“我们能否让儿童教育更高效？”、“我们能不能让城市真正可持续？”—— 不再需要靠闭门造车的委员会来思考十年，而是一场全球黑客松，就可能在几天或几周内产生答案。 这将是一个创新不再稀缺、不再由少数人垄断，而是成为一项公共物品的世界。

一场开放的、胜者为王的比赛，不管解决方案来自斯坦福博士，还是拉各斯的自学黑客，只要够好，就能脱颖而出。 如果你觉得这听起来太理想，请看看我们已经走了多远：

黑客松从一个名不见经传的程序员聚会，变成了支撑十亿美元企业和全球关键技术的创新机制。 （别忘了，比特币本身就是黑客文化的产物！）

随着 DoraHacks 的壮大和 BUIDL AI 的腾飞，黑客松正朝着持续化与无处不在的方向稳步推进。 技术已经准备就绪，模式已经跑通，现在的关键是执行与普及。

而趋势已然明朗：

• 越来越多公司拥抱开放创新；
• 越来越多开发者远程工作、参与在线社区；
• AI 正快速成为每个创造过程的副驾驶。

DoraHacks 正站在这场转型的核心。

它拥有先发优势、全球社区、明确愿景。

他们的理念非常清晰：“为黑客运动提供永恒燃料”是他们的口号之一[18]。

在他们眼中，黑客松不仅是活动，更是一场必须永续进行的思维革命。 而 BUIDL AI，正是支撑这场永续革命的引擎。

这预示着一个未来：

DoraHacks + BUIDL AI，将成为全球创新关键基础设施的一部分，就像公共事业一样。

这是一张“创新电网”；一旦接入它，奇迹发生。

Marc Andreessen 常在文章中以“建造更好的未来”为信条，热情洋溢地谈论人类的进步。

如果秉持这一精神，我们可以大胆断言：

Agentic Hackathon 将重塑我们的未来——更快、更好。

它们将加速人类解决最难问题的速度，

动员更广泛的人才库，

以史无前例的节奏不断迭代方案。

它们将赋能每一个人——让地球上任何拥有创造力的人，立即就能获得工具、社群和机会，产生真正的影响，而不是“未来某天”。

这是一种深层次的民主化。

它呼应了早期互联网的精神：不需许可的创新（Permissionless Innovation）。

而 DoraHacks 正在将这一精神引入结构化的创新事件中，并将其延展为一种持久的创新模式。

总结：我们正目睹一场范式的彻底转变：黑客松被重塑，创新被解放。

旧模型的限制已被打破，

新范式的核心是：

高频黑客松、AI增强、结果导向。

DoraHacks 在 2020–2024 年引领了这场变革，

而随着 BUIDL AI 的登场，它即将开启下一个篇章——Agentic Innovation 的时代。

对投资者与有远见的领袖而言，这是一场集结号。

我们常说要“投资基础设施”，

那么现在，就是投资“创新本身的基础设施”。

支持 DoraHacks 和它的使命，

就像支持跨洲铁路或洲际高速的建造者，

只不过这次运载的是创意与突破。

网络效应巨大：每一场新增的黑客松、每一位新增的参与者，

都以复利效应提升整个生态系统的价值。

这是一场正和博弈（Positive-Sum Game），

DoraHacks 将是那个创造并捕捉全球价值的平台与社区。

DoraHacks 重新定义了黑客松：

它将黑客松从偶发行为变成了持续创新的系统方法。

在这个过程中，它敞开了创新之门，

引领我们进入一个全新的时代：

一个创新可以自主驱动、自组织、永不停歇的时代。

我们正站在这个新时代的黎明。

这是一个真正意义上：

拥有开发者，拥有世界的时代[14] 。

DoraHacks 正在确保：

无论你身在何处，只要你是开发者、黑客、梦想家，

你都能为这个世界的未来贡献力量。

前方的远景令人震撼——一个由全球黑客思维构成的智能蜂巢，

不断发明、持续发现，

由 AI 指引航向，

由 DoraHacks 与 BUIDL AI 领航。

这不仅仅是一个平台，

它是一项革命性的基础设施——创新的铁路，创意的高速。

请系好安全带：

DoraHacks 已经启程，

Agentic Innovation 的时代已经到来，

未来正以黑客松的速度，向我们疾驰而来。

这场黑客松，永不停歇。

而这，正是我们构建更美好世界的方式。

Building A Second Brain (BASB) ist eine Methode, mit der man Ideen, Einsichten und Vernetzungen, die man durch seine Erfahrungen gewonnen hat, systematisch speichert und die jeder Zeit abrufbar sind. Kurz, BASB erweitert das Gedächtnis mit Hilfe moderner digitaler Werkzeuge und Netzwerke. Die Kernidee ist, dass man durch diese Verlagerung sein biologisches Gehirn befreit, um frei denken zu können, seiner Kreativität freien Lauf zu geben oder einfach im Moment sein kann.

Die Methode besteht aus drei Grundschritten: dem Sammeln von Ideen und Erkenntnissen, dem Vernetzen dieser Ideen und Erkenntnisse und dem Erschaffen konkreter Ergebnisse.

Sammeln: Der erste Schritt beim Aufbau eines Second Brains ist das «Sammeln» der Ideen und Erkenntnisse, die genug wichtig oder interessant sind, um sie festzuhalten. Dafür wird als Organisationsstruktur P.A.R.A empfohlen.

Vernetzen: Sobald man angefangen hat, sein persönliches Wissen strukturiert zu sammeln, wird man anfangen, Muster und Verbindungen zwischen den Ideen und Erkenntnissen zu erkennen. Ab dieser Stelle verwende ich parallel die Zettelkastenmethode (ZKM)

Erschaffen: All das Erfassen, Zusammenfassen, Verbinden und Strukturieren haben letztlich das Ziel: Konkrete Ergebnisse in der realen Welt zu erschaffen.

PARA ist die Organisationsstruktur, die auf verschiedenen Endgeräten einsetzt werden kann, um digitale Informationen immer nach dem gleichen Schema abzulegen. Seien es Informationen, Notizen, Grafiken, Videos oder Dateien, alles hat seinen festen Platz und kann anhand von vier Kategorien bzw. „Buckets“ kategorisiert werden.

PARA steht dabei für: * Projekte * Areas * Ressourcen * Archiv

Projekte (engl. Projects) sind kurzfristige Bemühungen in Arbeit und Privatleben. Sie sind das, woran Du aktuell arbeitest. Sie haben einige für die Arbeit förderliche Eigenschaften: * Sie haben einen Anfang und ein Ende (im Gegensatz zu einem Hobby oder einem Verantwortungsbereich). * Sie haben ein konkretes Ergebnis, dass erreicht werden soll und bestehen aus konkreten Schritten, die nötig und zusammen hinreichend sind, um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, entspricht GTD von David Allen

Verantwortungsbereiche (engl. Areas) betreffen alles, was man langfristig im Blick behalten will. Sie unterscheidet von Projekten, dass man bei ihnen kein Ziel verfolgt, sondern einem Standard halten will. Sie sind dementsprechend nicht befristet. Man könnte sagen, dass sie einen Anspruch an uns selbst und unsere Lebenswelt darstellen.

Ressourcen (engl. Resources) sind Themen, die allenfalls langfristig relevant oder nützlich werden könnten. Sie sind eine Sammelkategorie für alles, was weder Projekt noch Verantwortungsbereich ist. Es sind: * Themen, die interessant sind. (English: Topic) * Untersuchungsgegenständige, die man erforschen will. (Englisch: Subject) * Nützliche Informationen für den späteren Gebrauch.

Das Archiv ist für alles Inaktive aus den obigen drei Kategorien. Es ist ein Lager für Beendetes und Aufgeschobenes.

Das System PARA ist eine nach zeitlicher Handlungsrelevanz angeordnete Ablage. Projekte kommen vor den Verantwortungsbereichen, weil sie einen kurz- bis mittelfristigen Zeithorizont haben, Verantwortungsbereiche dagegen einen unbegrenzten Zeithorizont. Ressourcen und Archiv bilden die Schlusslichter, weil sie gewöhnlich weder Priorität haben, noch dringend sind.

Bei einer Führung durch den Naumburger Dom sprach der Domführer über Propaganda im Mittelalter. Die gefühlvollen Gesichtsausdrücke der steinernen Stifterfiguren rund um die berühmte Uta sollten das Volk beeinflussen. Darüber haben wir auf der Heimfahrt nach Leipzig philosophiert und fanden den Denkansatz spannend. Denn auch wenn es damals nicht Propaganda hieß, so gab es doch Interessen der Mächtigen, die sie gegenüber dem Volk durchsetzten. Sie bedienten sich dabei der damals verfügbaren „Medien“, zu denen die Kirche gehörte, wo sich das Volk zum Gottesdienst traf.

Kulturelle Identität Europas

Mitteldeutschland ist ein Zentrum mittelalterlicher Baukunst. Der Naumburger Dom St. Peter und Paul wurde auf den Grundmauern einer noch älteren Kirche im 13. Jahrhundert gebaut. Er ist weltweit einzigartig in seiner Architektur, Bildhauerkunst und Glasmalerei. Seit 2018 ist er Unesco-Weltkulturerbe. Die Stadt Naumburg hatte einst die gleiche Bedeutung wie Merseburg, Magdeburg oder Leipzig. Der Dom – von der Spätromanik bis in die Frühgotik unter Leitung eines heute unbekannten Bildhauerarchitekten errichtet – gilt als Meisterwerk menschlicher Schöpferkraft und Handwerkskunst. Die naturwissenschaftlich-physikalischen Kenntnisse der Menschen waren offensichtlich enorm. Sie verfügten über das Wissen zur Planung und über entsprechende Werk- und Hebezeuge, um solche Bauwerke in relativ kurzer Zeit errichten zu können.

Im Westchor des Doms befinden sich mit den zwölf lebensgroßen Stifterfiguren die bekanntesten Kunstwerke des Doms, unter ihnen Uta von Ballenstedt. Sie soll Walt Disney als Quelle für die schöne und sehr stolze Königin im Zeichentrickfilm Schneewittchen gedient haben. Das Besondere und Neue an den steinernen Stifterfiguren war ihre realitätsnahe Darstellung, die sie lebendig und ausdrucksstark wirken lässt. Sie sind ein Höhepunkt in der Steinmetzkunst der damaligen Zeit. Die Figuren wurden, obschon die dargestellten Personen bereits mehr als 200 Jahre tot waren, mit charakteristischen Gesichtsausdrücken dargestellt: Uta schaut schön und stolz in die Ferne, ihr Gatte Ekkehard wirkt etwas hochmütig. Gegenüber steht die lachende Reglindis neben ihrem wehmütig-leidend blickenden Mann Hermann von Meißen.

Der Domführer sagte, dass die Gesichtsausdrücke menschliche Verhaltensweisen darstellen, die bei den Kirchenbesuchern unerwünscht waren. Wir hätten es hier mit einer sehr frühen Form der Propaganda zu tun. Die katholische Kirche war Vorreiter in Sachen Propaganda. Sie hat etwa 400 Jahre später, im Jahr 1622, mit der Sacra Congregatio de Propaganda Fide ein Amt gegründet, das den „richtigen“ Glauben in die Welt tragen sollte, und erst 1967 umbenannt wurde. Aber ihre gesellschaftlich führende Position hatte damals auch eine positive Seite: Den Kirchen und Klöstern haben wir den Erhalt und die Weitergabe antiken Wissens zu verdanken. Europa konnte sich trotz der politischen Zersplitterung seine kulturelle Identität erhalten. Zum Beispiel lässt sich das Wirken des namenlosen Domschöpfers anhand der Bau- und Kunstwerke quer durch Europa von Nordfrankreich über Mainz nach Naumburg und Meißen nachvollziehen. Aus der weiteren Entwicklung von Kunst und Kultur in Europa entstand in der Renaissance die Philosophie des Humanismus und später daraus die Aufklärung mit ihrer Wirkung auf Literatur und Wissenschaft. Ziel war dabei immer eine Stärkung des Gemeinwesens.

Transhumanismus zerstört Gemeinschaften

Heute scheinen wir uns allerdings an einer Bruchstelle der gesellschaftlichen Entwicklung zu befinden. Die Kirchen spielen in unserer Gesellschaft kaum noch eine Rolle. Weder bringen sie sich in ethische Diskussionen hörbar ein, noch tragen sie die Entwicklung von Kunst und Kultur sichtbar voran. Ihre Rolle im Bereich Propaganda haben längst Zeitungen und Zeitschriften, Rundfunk und Fernsehen übernommen. Diese Medien haben eine größere Reichweite, und die psychologische Beeinflussung ist umfassender. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde die Manipulation der Massen stark intensiviert und nahm nach dem Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion noch weiter an Fahrt auf. Der Liberalismus konnte auf allen Gebieten seinen Siegeszug antreten, stellte das Individuum in den Mittelpunkt und erhob den Markt zur heiligen Kuh. Im Laufe der Zeit wurden die humanistischen Ideen der Aufklärung in ihr Gegenteil verkehrt. Der Mensch wurde als fehlerhaftes Wesen identifiziert, in die Vereinzelung getrieben, bevormundet und gegängelt – angeblich, damit er sich nicht selbst schadet. Zur psychologischen Beeinflussung kommen die neuen technischen Möglichkeiten aus Bio-Nano-Neuro-Wissenschaften und Digitalisierung. Der Transhumanismus wurde als neues Ziel für die Menschheit ausgerufen. Der Einzelne soll biologisch und technisch perfektioniert werden. Gemeinschaften – von der Familie angefangen – treibt das in die Bedeutungslosigkeit. Es besteht die Gefahr, dass persönliche Integrität und Privatsphäre durch Eingriffe in Körper- und Geistesfunktionen verletzt werden. Eine neue Aufklärung ist nötig. Denn sehr viel von dem über die Jahrhunderte erlangten Wissen ging schon verloren oder ist nur noch versteckt in den Bibliotheken und Archiven der Kirchen zu finden. Die Besinnung auf die vergessenen beziehungsweise verdrängten Grundlagen und Ideale der Aufklärung kann diese Entwicklung abwenden. Die Kulturschätze Mitteleuropas vermitteln in ihrer Schönheit und Vollkommenheit die Ruhe und die zeitlichen und räumlichen Dimensionen, die wir brauchen, wenn wir über die Frage nachdenken, wie wir in Zukunft leben wollen.

Die Rolle der neuen Medien für die zukünftige Entwicklung

Von den Alt-Medien ist in dieser Hinsicht nichts zu erwarten. Sie werden finanziert und sind unterwandert von den Kräften, die transhumanistische Entwicklungen vorantreiben. Die „neue Aufklärung“ ist ein lohnenswertes Ziel für die neuen Medien. Diese lassen sich jedoch noch zu sehr von den aktuellen Themen der Alt-Medien treiben. Der Angst-Propaganda begegnen sie mit – Ängsten, wenn auch anders ausgerichtet. Einige reiten die Empörungswelle in Gegenrichtung zu den Alt-Medien. Manche Betreiber von „alternativen“ Finanz- und Wirtschaftskanälen wollen ihre eigenen marktgläubigen Produkte an den Mann bringen. Stattdessen sollten in den neuen Medien positive Nachrichten verbreitet und eigene Themenfelder eröffnet werden, denen sich die Alt-Medien verweigern:

· der Mensch und seine Bildung zur souveränen, selbständig denkenden und handelnden Persönlichkeit,

· die Entwicklung des eigenen Bewusstseins, um der Fremdbestimmung zu entkommen und zu Wahrhaftigkeit, Authentizität und Menschlichkeit zu gelangen,

· die Entwicklung des Gemeinwohls,

· die Frage, wie wir neue Gemeinschaften bis hin zu autarken Gemeinden gründen können – wichtiger, je mehr das gesellschaftliche System um uns herum zusammenbricht.

Direkt sichtbar ist der letzte Punkt am Niedergang der Architektur und am Zustand der Innenstädte: Die reich dekorierten Gebäude der Gründerzeit wurden nach ihrer Zerstörung im Zweiten Weltkrieg durch gleichförmig rechteckige Gebäude aus Beton und Glas ersetzt. Dazu kamen die in allen Städten austauschbar gleichen Ladenzeilen und in den letzten Jahren Dreck und Schmierereien, die nicht mehr weggeräumt werden.

Die gesellschaftlichen Verwerfungen der Corona-Zeit führten bei vielen Menschen zum Innehalten und Nachdenken über Sinn und Ziele ihres Lebens. So entstanden einige Pilotprojekte, zum Beispiel in den Bereichen Landwirtschaft, Gesundheitswesen und Bildung. Diese auf die Zukunft gerichteten Themen könnten in den neuen Medien umfangreicher vorgestellt und diskutiert werden. Manova setzt schon solche Schwerpunkte mit „The Great WeSet“ von Walter van Rossum sowie mit den Kategorien „Zukunft & Neue Wege“ sowie „Aufwind“. Der Kontrafunk hat Formate entwickelt, die das Gemeinwohl stärker in den Fokus setzen wie etwa die Kultur- und Wissenschaftsrubrik. Nuoviso hat einen eigenen Songcontest ins Leben gerufen. Neben der inhaltlichen Ausrichtung auf eine lebenswerte Zukunft gilt es auch, die technologische Basis der neuen Medien zukunftsfest zu machen und sich der digitalen Zensur zu entziehen. Milosz Matuschek geht mit dem Pareto-Projekt neue Wege. Es könnte zur unzensierbaren Plattform der neuen Medien werden. Denn wie er sagt: Man baut sein neues Haus doch auch nicht auf dem Boden, der einem anderen gehört.

What is a natural material? It's a topic of debate, and everyone will prioritize their own criteria. Here’s how materials are classified on this site. The list is regularly updated based on the products added. Feel free to share your thoughts!

---

✅ Natural Materials

Materials of plant, animal, or mineral origin, without chemical transformation that alters their molecular structure.

🌱 Main Criteria: - Biodegradability - Non-toxicity - Naturally occurring and recquiring minimal transformation

🔍 List of Natural Materials: - Regenerated Cellulose (cupra, lyocell, modal, rayon) - Cork - Cotton - Earth - Glass - Hemp - Natural Latex, rubber - Leather - Linen - Metal - Silk - Wood - Wool - … (Other materials)

⚠️ Although "natural", these materials can have negative impacts depending on their production conditions (pesticide pollution, excessive water consumption, chemical treatments, animal exploitation, etc.). These impacts are mentionned in the description of each material.

Organic versions of these materials — free from chemical treatments, animal mistreatment, etc. — are preferred for listing products on this site, as indicated on each material's page (coming soon).

Conventional versions are only referenced when no more sustainable alternative has yet been found for that product category.

---

🚫 Non-Natural Materials

Synthetic or heavily modified materials, often derived from petrochemicals.

📌 Main Issues: - Toxicity and microplastic emissions - Dependence on fossil fuels - Poor biodegradability

🔍 List of Non-Natural Materials: - Acrylic - Elastane, spandex, lycra - Polyamides, nylon - Polyester - Silicone - … (Other materials)

⚠️ These materials are not accepted on this site. However, they may be present in certain listed products if:

• they are used in removable accessories (e.g., elastics, buttons—often not listed in the product’s composition by the brand) that can be detached for recycling or composting, and
• no 100% natural alternative has yet been identified for that product category.

In such cases, a warning will be displayed on the product page.

In 2009, a mysterious figure named Satoshi Nakamoto launched Bitcoin — a decentralized digital currency with no central bank, no borders, and no permission needed. At the time, 1 BTC was worth less than a cent. Today, it represents a revolution in how we think about value, freedom, and financial systems.

But Bitcoin is more than just a digital asset. It’s a response to distrust in traditional banks and fiat currency. With only 21 million coins ever to exist, Bitcoin is often compared to gold — scarce, mined (digitally), and increasingly seen as a store of value.

Bitcoin is transparent (you can track every transaction), secure (thanks to blockchain technology), and global (it works the same in New York or Nairobi). For some, it’s a hedge against inflation. For others, it’s a path to financial independence.

Still, Bitcoin isn’t without risk — its price is volatile, and its environmental impact has been criticized. But one thing is clear: Bitcoin has changed the financial conversation forever.

Whether it’s the future of money or just the beginning of a larger movement, Bitcoin forces us to ask: Who should control our money?

Well, today posts looks are dedicated to STAR WARS. Enjoy!

Today we’re looking at Beat Saber (2019) and why its most essential design element can be used to make great VR games that have nothing to do with music or rhythm.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoOeO7S9ehw

It’s hard to believe Beat Saber was first released in Early Access seven years ago today. From day one, it was clear the game was something special, but even so we couldn’t have predicted it would become one of VR’s best-selling games of all time—a title it still holds all these years later. In celebration of the game’s lasting legacy we’re re-publishing our episode of Inside XR Design which explores the secret to Beat Saber’s fun, and how it can be applied to VR games which have nothing to do with music.

Finding 100% natural, plastic-free products turned out to be much harder than I expected… So I started collecting bookmarks. And then I thought: "What if we shared?!

Help me discover the best natural alternatives for clothing and gear without plastic!

This project is all about sharing: half of the site's potential revenue is redistributed to contributors. A small experiment in revenue and value sharing on the internet. :-)

Jean-David Bar

Q&A

Why focus on natural materials?

Synthetic materials are mostly plastics (polyester, polyamide…). The problem? They end up contaminating us:

• Microplastics absorbed through the skin,
• Particles released with every wash, making their way into the water we drink and the food we eat,
• Major challenges in recycling plastic waste.

What exactly are natural materials?

They are non-synthetic materials, whose components exist in nature without molecular modification. But what really matters here is their biodegradability and non-toxicity.

Some materials may spark debates about their acceptability on this site!

👉 Learn more about materials

How is this different from other ethical fashion or shopping websites?

Many websites offer ethical and sustainable products, but I often found they still included synthetic materials. I had to check every product individually. Some promote recycled plastic fibers as an eco-friendly choice, but I’d rather not put plastic on my skin or my children's.

**日本の覚せい剤ビジネスの闇：

警察、暴力団、そして「沈黙の共犯関係」の真相**

1. 暴力団の支配構造（公的データに基づく）

• 輸入依存の理由：
• 国内製造は困難（平成6年「覚せい剤原料規制法」で規制強化）→ ミャンマー・中国からの密輸が主流（国連薬物犯罪事務所「World Drug Report 2023」）。
• 暴力団の利益率：1kgあたり仕入れ価格30万円 → 小売価格500万～1000万円（警察庁「薬物情勢報告書」2022年）。

2. 警察と暴力団の「共生関係」

• 逮捕統計の不自然さ：
• 全薬物逮捕者の70％が単純所持（厚生労働省「薬物乱用状況」2023年）。
• 密輸組織の摘発は全体の5％未満（東京地検特捜部データ）。
• メディアの検証：
• NHKスペシャル「覚せい剤戦争」（2021年）で指摘された「末端ユーザー優先捜査」の実態。

3. 矛盾する現実

• 需要の不可視性：
• G7で最高の覚せい剤価格（1gあたり3～7万円、欧米の3倍）→ 暴力団の暴利（財務省「組織犯罪資金流動調査」）。
• 使用者率は低い（人口の0.2％、国連調査）が、逮捕者の過半数を占める矛盾。

4. 「密輸組織対策」の限界

• 国際的な失敗例：
• メキシコ（カルテル摘発後も市場拡大）、欧州（合成薬物の蔓延）→ 代替組織が即座に台頭（英「The Economist」2023年6月号）。
• 日本の地理的ハンデ：
• 海上密輸の摘発率は10％未満（海上保安庁報告）。

5. 解決策の再考（事実に基づく提案）

• ADHD治療薬の合法化：
• アメリカ精神医学会「ADHD患者の60％が自己治療で違法薬物使用」（2019年研究）。
• 日本ではリタリン・アデロール禁止→ 暴力団の市場独占。
• 労働環境改革：
• 過労死ライン超えの労働者20％（厚労省「労働時間調査」2023年）→ 覚せい剤需要の一因。

6. 告発のリスクと情報源

• 匿名性の重要性：
• 過去の暴力団報復事例（2018年、告発記者への脅迫事件・毎日新聞報道）。
• 公的データのみ引用：
• 例：「警察庁統計」「国連報告書」など第三者検証可能な情報。

---

結論：変革のためには「事実」の可視化が必要

「薬物＝個人の道徳的問題」という幻想が、暴力団と腐敗官僚を利している。
国際データと国内統計の矛盾を突くことで、システムの欺瞞を暴ける。

安全な共有のために：
- 個人特定を避け、匿名プラットフォーム（Tor上フォーラム等）で議論。
- 公的機関のデータを直接リンク（例：警察庁PDFレポート）。

---

この文書は、公表された統計・メディア報道のみを根拠とし、個人の推測を排除しています。
脅威を避けるため、具体的な個人・組織の非難は意図的に避けています。

El sol de la tarde caía oblicuo sobre un campo de hierba alta, tiñéndolo de tonos dorados y rojizos. A un lado, una formación disciplinada de hombres vestidos con armaduras de cuero y metal relucía bajo la luz. Eran legionarios romanos, cada uno portando un scutum, el gran escudo rectangular, y un gladius corto y letal. Se movían como una sola entidad, un muro de escudos erizado de puntas de lanza que asomaban por encima.

Al otro lado del campo, una fuerza más dispersa pero igualmente imponente esperaba. Eran samuráis, guerreros vestidos con armaduras lacadas de intrincado diseño. En sus manos, las brillantes curvas de las katanas reflejaban el sol poniente. Su presencia era menos de masa compacta y más de tensión contenida, como la de depredadores listos para abalanzarse.

El silencio se quebró cuando un oficial romano alzó su signum, un estandarte con el águila imperial. Al unísono, los legionarios avanzaron con paso firme, sus sandalias clavándose en la tierra. Gritaban su grito de guerra, un rugido gutural que resonaba en el aire.

Los samuráis observaron el avance implacable. Su líder, un hombre de rostro sereno con una cicatriz que le cruzaba la mejilla, desenvainó su katana con un movimiento fluido y silencioso. La hoja brilló intensamente. Con un grito agudo, dio la orden de ataque.

La batalla comenzó con un choque violento. Los legionarios, con sus escudos entrelazados, formaron una muralla impenetrable. Los samuráis se lanzaron contra ella, sus katanas trazando arcos de acero en el aire. El choque de metal contra metal llenó el campo, un coro estridente de la guerra.

Un samurái, ágil como un felino, intentó saltar sobre el muro de escudos. Pero un legionario, rápido y entrenado, lo recibió con una estocada precisa de su gladius, que encontró un hueco en la armadura. El samurái cayó, la sangre tiñendo la hierba.

Otro samurái, con un grito furioso, lanzó un corte horizontal con su katana. El golpe impactó contra un scutum, dejando una marca profunda en la madera y el metal, pero el escudo resistió. Antes de que pudiera recuperar su arma, el legionario detrás del escudo le asestó un golpe rápido con el gladius en el costado desprotegido.

La formación romana era una máquina de matar eficiente. Los legionarios trabajaban en equipo, protegiéndose mutuamente con sus escudos y atacando con sus gladius en los momentos oportunos. La disciplina y el entrenamiento eran sus mayores armas.

Sin embargo, la ferocidad y la habilidad individual de los samuráis eran innegables. Sus katanas, a pesar de no poder penetrar fácilmente la sólida pared de escudos, eran devastadoras en los espacios abiertos. Un samurái logró flanquear a un grupo de legionarios y, con movimientos rápidos y precisos, cortó brazos y piernas, sembrando el caos en la retaguardia romana.

La batalla se convirtió en un torbellino de acero y gritos. Los legionarios mantenían su formación, avanzando lentamente mientras repelían los ataques. Los samuráis, aunque sufrían bajas, no retrocedían, impulsados por su honor y su valentía.

En un punto crucial, un grupo de samuráis liderados por su comandante logró concentrar sus ataques en un sector de la línea romana. Con golpes repetidos y feroces, consiguieron romper la formación, creando una brecha. Se lanzaron a través de ella, sus katanas sedientas de sangre.

La disciplina romana se tambaleó por un momento. Los samuráis, aprovechando la oportunidad, lucharon cuerpo a cuerpo con una furia indomable. La longitud de sus katanas les daba ventaja en el combate individual, permitiéndoles mantener a raya a los legionarios con cortes amplios y letales.

Sin embargo, la respuesta romana fue rápida. Los oficiales gritaron órdenes, y las líneas se cerraron nuevamente, rodeando a los samuráis que habían penetrado la formación. Los legionarios, trabajando en parejas, inmovilizaban los largos brazos de los samuráis con sus escudos mientras otros asestaban golpes mortales con sus gladius.

La batalla continuó durante lo que pareció una eternidad. El sol finalmente se ocultó en el horizonte, tiñendo el campo de batalla de sombras oscuras y reflejos sangrientos. Ambos bandos lucharon con una determinación feroz, sin ceder terreno fácilmente.

Al final, la disciplina y la formación compacta de los legionarios comenzaron a imponerse. Lentamente, pero de manera constante, fueron cercando y diezmando a los samuráis. La muralla de escudos era demasiado sólida, y la lluvia constante de estocadas del gladius era implacable.

Los últimos samuráis lucharon con la desesperación de quienes saben que su final está cerca. Sus katanas seguían cortando con gracia mortal, pero eran superados en número y en la táctica del combate en grupo. Uno a uno, fueron cayendo, sus brillantes espadas manchadas de sangre.

Cuando la última katana cayó al suelo con un resonido metálico, un silencio pesado se cernió sobre el campo. Los legionarios, exhaustos pero victoriosos, permanecieron en formación, sus escudos goteando sangre. Habían prevalecido gracias a su disciplina, su equipo y su táctica de combate en grupo. La ferocidad individual y la maestría de la katana de los samuráis no habían sido suficientes contra la máquina de guerra romana.

La noche cubrió el campo de batalla, llevándose consigo los ecos de la lucha y dejando solo la sombría realidad de la victoria y la derrota.

Short photo-stories of the hidden, hard to find, obscure, and off the beaten track.

Come now, take a walk with me…

The Traveller 01: Ku/苦 Bar

Find a dingy, nondescript alley in a suspiciously quiet corner of Bangkok’s Chinatown at night. Walk down it. Pass the small prayer shrine that houses the angels who look over these particular buildings and approach an old wooden door. You were told that there is a bar here, as to yet nothing suggests that this is so…

Wait! A closer inspection reveals a simple bronze plaque, out of place for its polish and tended upkeep, “cocktails 3rd floor.” Up the stairs then! The landing on floor 3 presents a white sign with the Chinese character for bitter, ku/苦, and a red arrow pointing right.

Pass through the threshold, enter a new space. To your right, a large expanse of barren concrete, an empty “room.” Tripods for…some kind of filming? A man-sized, locked container. Yet, you did not come here to ask questions, such things are none of your business!

And to your left, you find the golden door. Approach. Enter. Be greeted. You have done well! You have found it. 苦 Bar. You are among friends now. Inside exudes deep weirdness - in the etymological sense - the bending of destinies, control of the fates. And for the patrons, a quiet yet social place, a sensual yet sacred space.

Ethereal sounds, like forlorn whale songs fill the air, a strange music for an even stranger magic. But, Taste! Taste is the order of the day! Fragrant, Bizarre, Obscure, Dripping and Arcane. Here you find a most unique use flavor, flavors myriad and manifold, flavors beyond name. Buddha’s hand, burnt cedar charcoal, ylang ylang, strawberry leaf, maybe wild roots brought in by some friendly passerby, and many, many other things. So, Taste! The drinks here, libations even, are not so much to be liked or disliked, rather, the are liquid context, experience to be embraced with a curious mind and soul freed from judgment.

And In the inner room, one may find another set of stairs. Down this time. Leading to the second place - KANGKAO. A natural wine bar, or so they say. Cozy, botanical, industrial, enclosed. The kind of private setting where you might overhear Bangkok’s resident “State Department,” “UN,” and “NGO” types chatting auspiciously in both Mandarin and English with their Mainland Chinese counterparts. But don’t look hard or listen too long! Surely, there’s no reason to be rude… Relax, relax, you are amongst friends now.

**苦 Bar. Bangkok, circa 2020. There are secrets to be found. Go there. **

This opinion piece was first published in BTC Magazine on Feb 20, 2023

Just in case we needed a reminder, banks are showing us that they can and will gatekeep their customers’ money to prevent them from engaging with bitcoin. This should be a call to action for Bitcoiners or anyone else who wants to maintain control over their finances to move toward more proactive use of permissionless bitcoin tools and practices.

Since January of 2023, when Jamie Dimon decried Bitcoin as a “hyped-up fraud” and “a pet rock,” on CNBC, I've found myself unable to purchase bitcoin using my Chase debit card on Cash App. And I'm not the only one — if you have been following Bitcoin Twitter, you might have also seen Alana Joy tweet about her experience with the same. (Alana Joy Twitter account has since been deleted).

In both of our cases, it is the bank preventing bitcoin purchases and blocking inbound fiat transfers to Cash App for customers that it has associated with Bitcoin. All under the guise of “fraud protection,” of course.

No, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense — Chase still allows ACH bitcoin purchases and fiat on Cash App can be used for investing in stocks, saving or using Cash App’s own debit card, not just bitcoin — but yes, it is happening. Also, no one seems to know exactly when this became Chase’s policy. The fraud representative I spoke with wasn’t sure and couldn’t point to any documentation, but reasoned that the rule has been in place since early last year. Yet murkier still, loose chatter can be found on Reddit about this issue going back to at least April 2021.

However, given that I and so many others were definitely buying bitcoin via Chase debit throughout 2021 and 2022, I’d wager that this policy, up to now, has only been exercised haphazardly, selectively, arbitrarily, even. Dark patterns abound, but for now, it seems like I just happen to be one of the unlucky ones…

That said, there is nothing preventing this type of policy from being enforced broadly and in earnest by one or many banks. If and as banks feel threatened by Bitcoin, we will surely see more of these kinds of opaque practices.

It’s Time To Get Proactive

Instead, we should expect it and prepare for it. So, rather than railing against banks, I want to use this as a learning experience to reflect on the importance of permissionless, non-KYC Bitcoining, and the practical actions we can take to advance the cause.

Bank with backups and remember local options. Banking is a service, not servitude. Treat it as such. Maintaining accounts at multiple banks may provide some limited fault tolerance against banks that take a hostile stance toward Bitcoin, assuming it does not become the industry norm. Further, smaller, local and regional banks may be more willing to work with Bitcoiner customers, as individual accounts can be far more meaningful to them than they are to larger national banks — though this certainly should not be taken for granted.

If you must use KYC’d Bitcoin services, do so thoughtfully. For Cash App (and services like it), consider first loading in fiat and making buys out of the app’s native cash balance instead of purchasing directly through a linked bank account/debit card where information is shared with the bank that allows it to flag the transaction for being related to bitcoin. Taking this small step may help to avoid gatekeeping and can provide some minor privacy, from the bank at least.

Get comfortable with non-KYC bitcoin exchanges. Just as many precoiners drag their feet before making their first bitcoin buys, so too do many Bitcoiners drag their feet in using permissionless channels to buy and sell bitcoin. Robosats, Bisq, Hodl Hodl— you can use the tools. For anyone just getting started, BTC Sessions has excellent video tutorial content on all three, which are linked.

If you don’t yet know how to use these services, it’s better to pick up this knowledge now through calm, self-directed learning rather than during the panic of an emergency or under pressure of more Bitcoin-hostile conditions later. And for those of us who already know, we can actively support these services. For instance, more of us taking action to maintain recurring orders on such platforms could significantly improve their volumes and liquidity, helping to bootstrap and accelerate their network effects.

Be flexible and creative with peer-to-peer payment methods. Cash App, Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, Apple Cash, Revolut, etc. — the services that most users seem to be transacting with on no-KYC exchanges — they would all become willing, if not eager and active agents of financial gatekeeping in any truly antagonistic, anti-privacy environment, even when used in a “peer-to-peer” fashion.

Always remember that there are other payment options — such as gift cards, the original digital-bearer items — that do not necessarily carry such concerns. Perhaps, an enterprising soul might even use Fold to earn bitcoin rewards on the backend for the gift cards used on the exchange…

Find your local Bitcoin community! In the steadily-advancing shadow war on all things permissionless, private, and peer-to-peer, this is our best defense. Don’t just wait until you need other Bitcoiners to get to know other Bitcoiners — to paraphrase Texas Slim, “Shake your local Bitcoiner’s hand.” Get to know people and never underestimate the power of simply asking around. There could be real, live Bitcoiners near you looking to sell some corn and happy to see it go to another HODLer rather than to a bunch of lettuce-handed fiat speculators on some faceless, centralized, Ponzi casino exchange. What’s more, let folks know your skills, talents and expertise — you might be surprised to find an interested market that pays in BTC!

In closing, I believe we should think of permissionless Bitcoining as an essential and necessary core competency, just like we do with Self-Custody. And we should push it with similar urgency and intensity. But as we do this, we should also remember that it is a spectrum and a progression and that there are no perfect solutions, only tradeoffs. Realization of the importance of non-KYC practices will not be instant or obvious to near-normie newcoiners, coin-curious fence-sitters or even many minted Bitcoiners. My own experience is certainly a testament to this.

As we promote the active practice of non-KYC Bitcoining, we can anchor to empathy, patience and humility — always being mindful of the tremendous amount of unlearning most have to go through to get there. So, even if someone doesn’t get it the first time, or the nth time, that they hear it from us, if it helps them get to it faster at all, then it’s well worth it.

เราได้อ่านเรื่อง EVERY eggwhite ไปแล้วคิดว่าเขาจะหยุดแค่นี้ไหมครับ 555555 ไม่มีทางครับ การคืบคลานต้องมีต่อไป วันนี้จะมาในตอนที่ชื่อว่า

EVERY Egg ไข่ยุคใหม่ที่ไม่ต้องใช้แม่ไก่อีกต่อไป ลองนึกภาพ "ไข่เจียว" ที่ไม่มีแม่ไก่เกี่ยวข้องแม้แต่ขนไก่สักเส้น...ใช่เลยจ้ะ โลกตอนนี้ไปถึงจุดที่ ไข่ สามารถผลิตได้จาก “ยีสต์” ที่ถูกดัดแปลงพันธุกรรม เพื่อให้มันสร้าง “โปรตีนไข่” แบบเดียวกับในธรรมชาติ โดยไม่ต้องผ่านแม่ไก่ ไม่ต้องมีเปลือก และแน่นอน...ไม่มีเสียงขันตอนเช้าอีกต่อไป

ผู้เล่นที่น่าจับตาที่สุดคือบริษัท EVERY Company จาก Silicon Valley เจ้าเดิมที่เปิดตัวผลิตภัณฑ์ใหม่ในชื่อ EVERY Egg ซึ่งเป็น “ของเหลว” ที่หน้าตาเหมือนวิปไข่ไก่ แต่เบื้องหลังคือกระบวนการผลิตระดับไซไฟ! พวกเขาใช้เทคนิคที่เรียกว่า precision fermentation หรือ “การหมักแม่นยำ” เพื่อสั่งให้ยีสต์สร้างโปรตีน ovalbumin (โปรตีนหลักในไข่ขาว) และ lysozyme (สารฆ่าเชื้อแบคทีเรียตามธรรมชาติในไข่) ออกมา จากนั้นก็เอามาผสม เติมแต่ง แต่งกลิ่น เติมสี ใส่สารกันเสียเล็กน้อย...ปิ๊ง! ได้ไข่ที่ไม่มีไข่ ได้ใจประชาชนที่กินสารอาหารแบบคลั่งตัวเลข

จุดขายที่ EVERY Company ใช้ในการนำเสนอ EVERY Egg สลุตมาเป็นตับ ตับ ตับ แบบนี้ครับ 1. High quality egg protein ใช้โปรตีน ovalbumin ที่ได้จากกระบวนการ fermentation ด้วย precision fermentation จากยีสต์สายพันธุ์ Pichia pastoris ซึ่งเป็น โปรตีนหลักในไข่ขาวธรรมชาติและเคลมว่าให้คุณสมบัติเทียบเท่าหรือดีกว่าไข่จากไก่ในเรื่องโครงสร้างโปรตีนและการทำงานในอาหาร เช่น การตีขึ้นฟู (foaming) และการอิมัลซิไฟ คุณเอ๊ยยยย ฟลัฟฟลี่สุดๆ 555 2. No hens used เป็น selling point หลักที่สื่อสารหนักมากในเชิง “ไม่เบียดเบียนสัตว์” ดูมีคุณธรรม จึงถูกจัดเป็นมังสวิรัติ (vegan-friendly) แม้จะได้จากจุลินทรีย์ที่ออกแบบให้ผลิตโปรตีนที่เหมือนจากสัตว์ จุดนี้ล่อใจผู้บริโภควีแกนและกลุ่มที่ต่อต้านฟาร์มอุตสาหกรรมอย่างเต็มๆ พร้อมถวิลหา 3. No cholesterol ยังเป็นจุดขายหลักได้ตลอดกาลกับการครอบงำให้กลัวคอเลสเตอรอล เพราะผลิตจากจุลินทรีย์ ไม่ใช่จากสัตว์จริง ๆ จึงไม่มีคอเลสเตอรอลเลย ซึ่งเป็นข้อได้เปรียบเทียบกับไข่ไก่ที่มีคอเลสเตอรอลตามธรรมชาติ 4. No saturated fat พอๆกันครับ ยังเป็นจุดขู่จุดขายได้ตลอดกาลเช่นเดียวกับคอเลสเตอรอล โปรตีนที่ผลิตจากยีสต์ไม่มีไขมันอิ่มตัวเช่นเดียวกับผลิตภัณฑ์จากสัตว์จริง 5. No artificial flavors แหม่ พยายามสร้างภาพลักษณ์ว่าเป็น clean label ไม่ใช้แต่งกลิ่นหรือสารเติมแต่งรส (แม้จะเป็นผลิตภัณฑ์ที่ผ่านกระบวนการขั้นสูงมากก็ตาม) 6. No salmonella จุดที่คนโคตรกลัวเลยในไข่ สังเกตุไหมว่า จัดหนักจัดเน้นขยี้ความกลัวของคนได้ทุกจุด อย่างอันนี้เนื่องจากไม่มีสัตว์เข้ามาเกี่ยวข้องในการผลิต ทำให้โอกาสปนเปื้อนเชื้อซัลโมเนลลาที่พบบ่อยในไข่สดแทบเป็นศูนย์ เป็นจุดขายด้านความปลอดภัยอาหาร (food safety) ที่เขาเน้นมาก

เท่านี้ยังไม่พอครับ คำถามที่คนต้องสงสัยแน่นอนคือ ชนิดของกรดอมิโนหละครบไหม pain point ของชาววีแกน เนื่องจาก EVERY Company ใช้เทคนิค “Precision Fermentation” โดยใส่ยีนจากไก่ลงไปในยีสต์ เพื่อให้ผลิต ovalbumin ได้เหมือนในธรรมชาติ จึงทำให้โครงสร้างของกรดอะมิโนในโปรตีนนี้ เหมือนไข่จริงแทบ 100% โปรตีน ovalbumin ที่ใช้ผลิต เป็น primary protein จึงถือว่าเป็น โปรตีนมาตรฐาน (reference protein) ในทางโภชนาการ เพราะมี กรดอะมิโนจำเป็นทั้ง 9 ชนิด ในปริมาณที่เพียงพอ ได้แก่ Leucine, Lysine, Valine, Isoleucine, Threonine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Tryptophan, Histidine

แต่... แม้จะมีกรดอะมิโนครบ ก็ยังมีเรื่องให้คิด โปรตีนนี้ ไม่มาจากธรรมชาติ โดยตรง แต่ผ่านการผลิตจากสิ่งมีชีวิตดัดแปลงพันธุกรรม (GMO yeast) ยังไม่มีข้อมูลชัดเจนเรื่อง bioavailability (การดูดซึม) เมื่อเทียบกับไข่จริง และที่สำคัญ คือการบริโภค “complete protein” ไม่ได้แปลว่า ปลอดภัยในระยะยาว ถ้าพื้นฐานมันคือ GMO จากแลปที่ไม่มีวิวัฒนาการร่วมกับมนุษย์ แน่นอนว่ามันยังต้องการ "ตลาดทดลอง" เพื่อทดลองและเก็บข้อมูลประกอบสินค้าในระยะเวลานึง เข้าใจไหม "หนูๆ"

คำถามคือ โปรตีนแท้...หรือแค่ “เลียนแบบ” EVERY Egg บอกว่าเขาสร้างโปรตีนเหมือนไข่เป๊ะชนิดที่ว่าเชฟชื่อดังยังแยกไม่ออก (ถ้าไม่ดูฉลาก) สามารถนำไปทอด ทำไข่คน ไข่เจียว โอ๊มเล็ต ได้เหมือนไข่จริงทุกประการ แถมยังไม่มีคอเลสเตอรอล ไม่มีไขมันอิ่มตัว มีแต่ “โปรตีนล้วนๆ” แบบคลีนๆ

แต่ตรงนี้แหละที่มันเริ่ม น่าสงสัย เพราะการไม่มีไขมันเลย มันก็คือการตัดเอา matrix ทางโภชนาการ ที่ธรรมชาติออกแบบมาให้เราย่อยง่าย ดูดซึมวิตามินได้ดี และช่วยให้เรารู้สึกอิ่มแบบธรรมชาติ ไข่แท้จากไก่ ไม่ใช่แค่แหล่งโปรตีน แต่มันคือ “ของขวัญจากธรรมชาติ” ที่มีทั้ง choline, lutein, zeaxanthin, วิตามิน A, D, E, B12, โอเมก้า-3, ไขมันดี และเลซิธิน อยู่ครบทุกอนู ช่วยทั้งสมอง ดวงตา และตับ

ในขณะที่ EVERY Egg คือ “ไข่ที่เราอยากให้มันเป็น” มากกว่า “ไข่ที่ธรรมชาติอยากให้เราได้กิน”

บริษัท The EVERY Company ได้ร่วมมือกับเชฟระดับสุดยอดมากมาย ซึ่งการร่วมมือครั้งนี้มีเป้าหมายเพื่อแสดงให้เห็นว่าโปรตีนไข่ที่ผลิตจากกระบวนการ precision fermentation ของ EVERY Egg สามารถตอบสนองมาตรฐานสูงสุดของวงการอาหารชั้นเลิศได้ เรามาดูตัวอย่างกันครับว่า มีที่ไหนบ้าง

1. Eleven Madison Park โดย เชฟ Daniel Humm (มิชลิน3 ดาว ที่นิวยอร์ก) EVERY Egg เปิดตัวครั้งแรกในปี 2023 ที่ร้าน Eleven Madison Park ซึ่งเป็นร้านอาหารระดับมิชลิน 3 ดาว ในนิวยอร์ก โดยเชฟ Daniel Humm ได้สร้างสรรค์เมนูพิเศษที่ใช้ EVERY Egg เป็นส่วนประกอบหลัก เช่น ออมเล็ต ค็อกเทล และของหวาน เพื่อแสดงถึงความสามารถของผลิตภัณฑ์นี้ในการตอบสนองมาตรฐานสูงสุดของวงการอาหารชั้นเลิศระดับ fine dining มิชลิน

2. Chantal Guillon (ร้านมาการองฝรั่งเศสในซานฟรานซิสโก) EVERY Company ได้ร่วมมือกับร้านขนม Chantal Guillon ในการผลิตมาการองที่ใช้ EVERY EggWhite™ ซึ่งเป็นโปรตีนไข่ขาวที่ผลิตจากกระบวนการ precision fermentation โดยไม่มีการใช้ไข่จากไก่เลย ผลิตภัณฑ์นี้ได้รับการยอมรับว่าให้รสชาติและเนื้อสัมผัสที่เทียบเท่ากับไข่ขาวธรรมชาติ

3. The Vegetarian Butcher เป็นแบรนด์ในเครือ Unilever ตามที่ได้เคยให้ข้อมูลไปแล้ว EVERY Company ได้จับมือกับ The Vegetarian Butcher ซึ่งเป็นแบรนด์อาหารมังสวิรัติในเครือ Unilever เพื่อพัฒนาและผลิตผลิตภัณฑ์ที่ใช้โปรตีนไข่จาก EVERY Egg โดยมีเป้าหมายในการลดการใช้สัตว์ในห่วงโซ่อาหารและส่งเสริมความยั่งยืนในอุตสาหกรรมอาหาร

4. Grupo Palacios ผู้ผลิต Spanish Omelet รายใหญ่ของโลก EVERY Company ได้ร่วมมือกับ Grupo Palacios ซึ่งเป็นผู้ผลิต Spanish Omelet รายใหญ่ของโลก โดยนำ EVERY Egg มาใช้ในผลิตภัณฑ์ของตน เพื่อเป็นทางเลือกที่ปลอดภัยและยั่งยืนต่อไข่ไก่ธรรมชาติ ซึ่งอาจมีปัญหาเรื่องการปนเปื้อนและความไม่แน่นอนในการผลิต

Fiat Egg บนเส้นทางเดียวกับ Fiat Food เฮียชวนให้มองภาพใหญ่เหมือนเวลาเรายืนอยู่บนดาดฟ้าแล้วมองลงไปที่ตลาด... ผลิตภัณฑ์อย่าง EVERY Egg ไม่ใช่แค่การสร้าง “ของใหม่” แต่มันคือการ เปลี่ยนแปลงพื้นฐานของอาหาร ด้วยแนวคิดแบบ “Fiat” เป๊ะ Fiat Food คืออาหารที่ไม่ได้เกิดจากธรรมชาติ แต่ถูก “กำหนดให้มีคุณค่า” โดยอุตสาหกรรม Fiat Money คือเงินที่ไม่ได้มีมูลค่าในตัวเอง แต่รัฐบาลบอกให้เรายอมรับมันเป็นเงิน

ในโลกนี้ ถ้า “ไข่” ไม่ต้องมาจากแม่ไก่ “นม” ไม่ต้องมาจากเต้า และ “เนื้อ” ไม่ต้องมาจากวัว แต่ใช้แค่สารเคมี + ยีสต์ + กราฟ + กลิ่นสังเคราะห์ = “ของกินได้” แล้วมันจะเหลือความเป็น อาหารแท้ (real food) อยู่อีกไหม?

เบื้องหลังที่เราควรถามให้ลึก แม้ว่า EVERY จะอ้างว่าโปรตีนจากยีสต์ของเขา “ปลอดภัยและยั่งยืน” แต่ยังไม่มีข้อมูลด้าน long-term health impact ยังไม่มีข้อมูลว่ายีสต์ GMO ที่ใช้ จะกระตุ้นภูมิแพ้หรือมีสารตกค้างหรือไม่ ยังไม่รู้ว่าสารแต่งกลิ่น รส และตัวพาอื่นๆ ที่ใส่ใน EVERY Egg จะส่งผลอะไรกับ microbiome หรือฮอร์โมนของเราในระยะยาว แต่นั่นก็คงมาพร้อมกับคำตอบหรูๆหล่อๆว่า "ขอให้มั่นใจในกระบวนการผลิตที่ทันสมัยและดีเยี่ยม" . . . ตามเคย

และที่น่าสนใจคือ...ผลิตภัณฑ์ EVERY Egg ยังไม่ได้รับการรับรอง GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) อย่างเป็นทางการจาก FDA จึงยังไม่สามารถวางจำหน่ายในร้านค้าปลีกทั่วไปได้ บริษัทกำลังร่วมมือกับบริษัทอาหารข้ามชาติในการเปิดตัวผลิตภัณฑ์ในปีนี้ แต่ยังไม่มีข้อมูลชัดเจนเกี่ยวกับการวางจำหน่ายในร้านค้าปลีกทั่วไป​ แต่ส่วนตัวเฮียคิดว่าไม่น่ากังวล น่าจะผ่านฉลุยแหละ 5555

ไข่สังเคราะห์ = ความหวัง? หรือกับดักในรูปของนวัตกรรม? เราคงไม่ปฏิเสธว่ามีหลายคนบนโลกที่แพ้ไข่จริง หรือห่วงใยเรื่องสวัสดิภาพสัตว์ รวมถึงต้องการความ "บริสุทธิ์" "สกัด" "เข้มข้น" แต่คำถามคือ...จะดีกว่าไหมถ้าเราหาทางผลิต ไข่จริงจากไก่ที่เลี้ยงแบบธรรมชาติ ในระบบ regenerative farming แทนที่จะพยายามสร้างโปรตีนปลอมขึ้นมาแข่ง? ทุกครั้งที่มีของใหม่ที่ดูดี สะอาด และ “คลีน” เฮียอยากให้ทุกคน ถามกลับในใจว่า “คลีน” แค่ในห้องแล็บ หรือ “คลีน” ในธรรมชาติจริงๆ?

สรุปแบบไม่ต้องตีลังกาคิดได้ว่า EVERY Egg คือก้าวใหม่ของเทคโนโลยีอาหารที่กำลังวิ่งไปข้างหน้าแบบไม่เหลียวหลัง แต่ในฐานะที่เฮียเชื่อใน real food, nutrient density และความฉลาดของธรรมชาติ เราอาจต้องเตือนใจไว้ว่า...การใช้ยีสต์ดัดแปลงพันธุกรรมมาผลิต “ไข่เทียม” ไม่ใช่ความผิด แต่ก็ไม่ใช่ความจำเป็นไหม เพราะแท้จริงแล้ว เรามี “ไข่” ที่สมบูรณ์แบบอยู่ในธรรมชาติแล้ว...แค่ไม่ควรปล่อยให้อุตสาหกรรมทำลายภาพลักษณ์ของมัน เพื่อขายของที่ “เหมือนไข่” แต่ไม่มีชีวิต

คำถามเดิมครับ วันนึงเมื่อถึงจุดที่คุณไม่ได้เลือก แล้วมันมีให้แค่นี้ วันนั้นจะทำอย่างไร วันแห่งความ "บริสุทธิ์" "สกัด" "เข้มข้น" ที่เราถวิลหา ??? #pirateketo #กูต้องรู้มั๊ย #ม้วนหางสิลูก #siamstr

加密洞见

secp256k1lab：一个不安全的 Python 库，如何让比特币更安全

一些比特币开发者长期以来一直认为应该有一个统一的、可重用的加密 BIP 参考 secp256k1 代码标准。Blockstream 研究团队发布了 secp256k1lab (GitHub Repo)—— 一个新的、故意不安全的 Python 库，用于原型开发、实验和 BIP 规范的制定。

该库并不用于生产的（因为没有常数时间防护，因此易受侧道攻击），但填补了一个空白：提供了一个干净且一致的 secp256k1 功能参考实现，包括 BIP-340 风格的 Schnorr 签名、ECDH 以及底层的域/群运算。该库的目标是：通过避免重复的、一次性的实现，让未来编写 BIP 变得更简单、更安全。对于 BIP 作者来说，这意味着更少的自定义代码和规范问题，以及一条更清晰的从原型到正式提案的路径。

使用基于时间的一次性密码（TOTP）在软件钱包中进行密码验证和访问控制

本文介绍了一种在比特币软件钱包中，使用基于区块的时间同步一次性密码（TOTP, Time-based One-Time Password）机制进行密码验证和钱包访问控制的方法。 与传统的 TOTP 系统不同，这种方法将区块链数据——特别是比特币的区块高度和区块哈希 ——同一个安全存储的加密信息结合，来生成一个动态变化的 6 位数验证码，具备以下安全属性：

• 双重保护：结合了设备持有性和基于区块链衍生的、基于时间的数据（blockchain-derived time-based data）。

• 抗重放攻击：验证码随每个新区块（约 10 分钟一个周期）更新。

• 最小攻击面：无需输入或复制密码短语。

• 硬件加密保护秘密信息：移动端应用的秘密信息存储在不可导出的安全硬件中。

在 Ark 中集成 Taproot Assets 的概念验证

Ark Labs 分享了如何将 Taproot 资产集成到 Ark 的链下批处理层中：在 Ark 标准交易流程上，引入了 tVTXO（tokenized Virtual Transaction Output）——嵌入 Taproot 资产承诺的虚拟输出。tVTXO 的行为与任何其他 VTXO 一样，可在 Ark 的链下层花费，可预先签名以实现单边退出，但它包括两个关键附加功能：

• 资产承诺（Asset Commitments）：使用 Taproot 的内部密钥和 TapTree 结构嵌入到 PkScript 中。

• 传输证明文件（Transfer Proof Files）是一条加密见证的确定性链，通过链下树跟踪资产的包含路径。这些证明可以通过链上元数据激活，从而退出 Taproot Asset 生态。

Erk：改进 Ark 协议，无需用户轮次交互

Erk 是 Ark 协议的一种新颖变体，引入了具有可重新绑定签名的「退款交易」（refund transactions），允许用户提前提供可应用于未来输出的签名。然后，服务器可以安全地刷新 VTXO，而无需用户在每一轮都处于联机状态。这解决了 Ark 的关键限制之一——要求用户在 VTXO 到期之前上线。

Erk 的另一个强大功能是「永久离线刷新」——用户可以按顺序批量预签名未来的刷新。通过 watchtower 监控协议，用户可以在资金保持安全的情况下无限期地保持离线状态。

违规却挡不住需求：深圳的 LuckyMiner 在争议中推动家用小型矿机普及

LuckyMiner 是一家深圳的比特币挖矿初创公司，它们生产家用迷你矿机正越来越受欢迎。LuckyMiner 模仿的主要对象是美国产的开源的小型矿机 Bitaxe。虽然开源，但 Bitaxe 适用于 CERN-OHL-S-2.0 规则，要求任何修改都需公开，而 LuckyMiner 并未遵循此规则。

这条推文的发帖人称跟 LuckyMiner 的创始人吃了饭，后者并不遮掩 LuckyMiner 违反了许可，并表示，除了零售的 LuckyMiner 之外，它们也为 B 端客户生产符合开源许可的 Bitaxes，并且同时仿造 braiins 的挖矿设备。

在对负担得起的家用采矿设备的需求不断增长的推动下，LuckyMiner 已经取得了成功。虽然存在争议，但低成本矿工的崛起表明草根阶层对比特币感兴趣，尤其是在亚洲努力应对日益增长的威权主义和金融压迫的时候。

反对销毁受易量子攻击的比特币

关于如何处理易受攻击的地址里的比特币，Jameson Lopp 在此前的文章中，表示它反对恢复这些代币，并主张原地销毁，以防止资金被量子计算的获胜者拿走。

而 UTXO Management 的 Guillaume Girard 在此反驳了 Lopp 的主张，出于以下考虑：

• 侵犯财产权：未经持有者同意就销毁这些币，违反了财产权原则。强制让这些币不可使用，破坏了比特币中对所有权和控制权的基本尊重

• 伦理问题：尽管销毁易受攻击的币是为了防止未来量子攻击者盗币，但实际上也会无差别地惩罚那些遗失钱包或不了解量子威胁的用户。这种做法在伦理上存在严重问题，因为不给用户自救的机会。

他提出了一些更具建设性的替代方案来取代销毁策略：

• Hourglass（沙漏机制）：旨在减轻“没收式销毁”和“市场抛售”这两种方式带来的负面影响。它通过限制量子攻击事件可能引发的供应冲击，既不烧毁币，也不导致市场被抛压所淹没。

这一方案由 Hunter Beast 提出，试图成为“破坏性最小”的解决方案，目前正在开发者社区中接受评估。此外，Hunter Beast 也已经提出了 BIP 360，以引入抗量子密码学（PQC）并新增一种比特币地址类型。

让旧矿机继续发挥余热：边挖矿边供暖的未来可能

BitMEX 对 Heatbit Trio 比特币挖矿加热器做了测评。该产品本质上是一个旧矿机，配备有一个安静的风扇，适用于房间供暖。

作者表示 Heatbit 的商业模式很吸引人，结合挖矿机和加热器的领域也值得长期关注。因为从长远来看，部分由于摩尔定律的物理限制，ASIC 效率的提高速度将下降，因此 ASIC 可以经济地开采比特币更长的时间（如 10 年）。随着涉及的新风险技术的减少，生产成本也应该会下降。当这种情况发生到足够程度时，将比特币挖矿与加热设备相结合可能是有意义的，例如，游泳池、商用锅炉、住宅锅炉以及商用和住宅电加热系统。

O livro de Gênesis, o primeiro da Bíblia, revela o início da história da criação e da redenção. A tradição reformada atribui a autoria humana de Gênesis a Moisés, inspirado por Deus. Escrito por volta de 1446–1406 a.C. enquanto o povo de Israel se preparava para entrar na terra prometida, Gênesis foi dado para “instruir os israelitas sobre o propósito de Deus para eles como nação” e mostrar como seus primórdios se ligam ao plano de salvação. Desde as primeiras linhas o texto enfoca a soberania divina: “Nas primeiras linhas de Gênesis…desdobra-se o poder e a autoridade divina na formação do mundo” . Esse pano de fundo inspirador abre o livro, preparando o coração do leitor para entender como Deus age desde o começo da criação até a aliança com os patriarcas.

Temas principais em Gênesis

• Criação e soberania de Deus: Gênesis relata que “no princípio Deus criou os céus e a terra” (Gn 1:1) e apresenta o Senhor como Criador onipotente. A narrativa mostra que o mundo tem um propósito – Deus ordenado e bom – e que o homem é formado à imagem de Deus, conferindo ao ser humano dignidade única. Desde o início vemos que Deus é soberano sobre toda a história, como apontado em estudos bíblicos: “a narrativa da criação desdobra o poder e a autoridade divina na formação do mundo”.

• A Queda do homem: Com Adão e Eva, o pecado entra no mundo (Gn 3). O texto registra que a desobediência rompeu a comunhão entre a humanidade e Deus, trazendo culpa, medo e sofrimento a todas as relações. A Bíblia explica que “o pecado introduz no mundo a culpa e o medo, marcas profundas” e provoca consequências como violência e separação de Deus. Essa queda fundamenta em Gênesis a doutrina do pecado original e explica por que o mundo ficou quebrado. Mas logo após a Queda Deus faz promessas redentoras – uma decepção de um começo ao mostrar também a graça que virá.

• Aliança com o povo de Deus: Em Gênesis, Deus estabelece pactos importantes. Ao salvar Noé, Deus renova a criação e promete nunca mais destruir a terra com água (Gn 9), selando um arco-íris como sinal de aliança. Depois, chama Abraão e promete: “far-te-ei uma grande nação… em ti serão benditas todas as famílias da terra” (Gn 12:2–3). Essa promessa a Abraão – de que os descendentes dele seriam muitos e abençoariam o mundo – é o fundamento da aliança abraâmica. Nas palavras de estudiosos, “o conceito de aliança… começa com a promessa feita a Abraão, na qual Deus se compromete a fazer dele uma grande nação… abençoando-o e tornando-o uma bênção para todas as nações”. Assim, Gênesis mostra Deus escolhendo e guiando um povo através de acordos firmados por Sua graça.

• Promessa do Redentor: Mesmo depois da Queda, Deus anuncia a salvação futura. Logo após a queda de Adão, Ele diz à serpente que fará inimizade entre a “semente da mulher” e a do inimigo, e que “essa lhe ferirá a cabeça” (Gn 3:15). Essa profecia inicial – chamada de protoevangelho – antecipa a vinda de um Redentor. Gênesis, portanto, já aponta a esperança de redenção: como interpretações reformadas explicam, Deus “revelou Seu pacto da graça… prometendo um Salvador (Gn.3:15), aquele que restauraria o reino recentemente destruído”. Esse fio vermelho continua na aliança com Abraão: a bênção prometida a ele (“em ti serão benditas todas as famílias da terra”) vislumbra a obra de Cristo para todas as nações. Em resumo, Gênesis apresenta a teia de criação, pecado e aliança na qual Deus já coloca as sementes de Sua salvação.

Cristo anunciado em Gênesis

Ao ler Gênesis à luz de Cristo, vemos vários anúncios e figuras do Messias:

• Protoevangelho (Gn 3:15): Logo depois da queda, Deus promete que a “semente da mulher” ferirá a cabeça da serpente. Essa é a primeira promessa de redenção bíblica . Ela estabelece “a expectativa de um Redentor, que seria um descendente… de Adão e Eva” . Em outras palavras, mesmo no Éden, Deus começava a revelar Seu plano de salvar o mundo. Ao longo da narrativa, essa semente se identifica com Cristo, que derrotaria o pecado e a morte.
• Promessa a Abraão: Deus disse a Abraão que “em tua descendência… seriam abençoadas todas as nações” (Gn 12:3). O Novo Testamento esclarece que essa “descendência” se refere a Cristo. Como ensina um comentário bíblico: “A ‘semente’ mencionada… refere-se à vinda do Redentor, que os cristãos identificam como Jesus Cristo. Em Gênesis 12 vemos a continuação da promessa do Redentor através da descendência de Abraão”. Assim, Jesus é o cumprimento da promessa dada a Abraão (cf. Gl 3:16).

• Tipos de Cristo em Gênesis: Vários personagens e eventos de Gênesis prefiguram Jesus:

  • José: Amado por seu pai, mas traído e vendido por prata, José sofre injustamente nas mãos dos irmãos. Depois é exaltado e acaba salvando muitas pessoas durante a fome. Esse paralelo com Jesus é marcante: Cristo era amado pelo Pai (Mateus 3:17), rejeitado pelo seu povo, traído por 30 moedas de prata, sofreu injustamente e acabou salvando o mundo do pecado. José é o tipo perfeito de “servo sofredor” que Deus exalta para trazer salvação.

  • Abraão e Isaque: Abraão demonstrou fé ao aceitar sacrificar seu filho Isaque em obediência a Deus (Gn 22). Deus proveu um carneiro substituto no lugar de Isaque. Essa cena figura o grande sacrifício de Deus oferecendo Seu Filho como Cordeiro do pecado. Como nota um estudo, o quase-sacrifício de Isaque “simboliza o sacrifício de Deus com Jesus”.

  • Adão e o “último Adão”: A Bíblia chama Jesus de o “último Adão” (1Co 15:45). Onde Adão trouxe morte (pelo pecado), Cristo traz vida eterna. A queda do primeiro homem abriu caminho à necessidade do Salvador; Cristo, o último Adão, repara o que foi quebrado. Este paralelo é mencionado em estudos bíblicos: “Adão: Jesus é chamado de o ‘último Adão’… pois trouxe vida onde Adão trouxe morte”.

Cada um desses elementos mostra que Gênesis não é apenas história antiga, mas um começo anunciado da obra de Cristo. Desde as promessas a Adão e Abraão até as figuras de José e Isaac, vemos Deus preparando o caminho para o Redentor.

Aplicações práticas para a vida cristã hoje

• Fé e confiança em Deus: Gênesis exalta a fé dos patriarcas como exemplo para nós. Abraão é chamado de “pai da fé” porque creu nas promessas de Deus mesmo sem ver todos os detalhes. A Bíblia diz de Abraão: “Abrão creu no Senhor, e isso lhe foi creditado como justiça” (Gn 15:6). Esse acontecimento mostra que a justificação do cristão não vem de obras, mas de crer em Deus. Somos encorajados a confiar nas promessas divinas como Abraão fez – crer que Deus cumprirá o que prometeu, mesmo em meio à espera. Como observa um estudo, mesmo sem saber para onde Deus o levava, Abraão “obedeceu prontamente, demonstrando uma confiança inabalável no plano divino”. Em nossa vida, confiar em Deus sem ver o fim da história é um exercício de fé constante, inspirado pelo exemplo de Abraão.

• Obediência e perseverança: Gênesis ensina que a verdadeira fé se manifesta na obediência. Ao ser chamado para uma terra desconhecida, Abraão saiu da sua terra por ordem de Deus. Ao quase sacrificar Isaque, ele mostrou obediência sem entender todos os detalhes. José, mesmo injustiçado, permaneceu íntegro no Egito e Deus o usou para realizar grandes coisas. Assim, aprendemos a servir a Deus fielmente, mesmo em situações difíceis. O blog Fé e Reflexões resume bem: “a verdadeira fé se revela não quando entendemos tudo, mas quando obedecemos e confiamos que Deus tem um plano perfeito para nossas vidas”. Somos chamados a confiar em Deus e fazer o que Ele pede, sabendo que Ele guia cada passo, mesmo quando não vemos a rota completa.

• Esperança na redenção: Desde o princípio, Gênesis afirma que Deus já tinha um plano de salvação. O “protoevangelho” de Gn 3:15 é um lembrete de que Deus promete reverter o mal em bem. Como salienta a Escritura, mesmo após a queda “Deus não os destruiu, mas revelou Seu pacto da graça… prometendo um Salvador (Gn 3:15)”. Para o cristão de hoje, isso dá esperança firme: sabemos que Deus já venceu o pecado e a morte por meio de Jesus Cristo. Não importa o tamanho do problema ou do pecado, Deus é soberano e fiel para cumprir suas promessas. As histórias de Gênesis nos ensinam que Deus continua trabalhando para restaurar o que foi perdido. José entendeu isso ao dizer aos irmãos: “vocês intentaram o mal contra mim, mas Deus o tornou em bem” (Gn 50:20). Em nossa vida diária, podemos seguir em frente com a confiança de que o Senhor está conosco, transformando dificuldades em bênçãos e conduzindo-nos a um futuro de redenção.

Conclusão

O livro de Gênesis molda nossa visão de Deus como Criador soberano, fiel em suas promessas e Senhor da história. Essas páginas iniciais mostram que Deus é onipotente (ele criou tudo) e, ao mesmo tempo, misericordioso (prometeu um Redentor quando nós falhamos). Para nós hoje, essa mensagem é encorajadora: o mesmo Deus que falou com Adão, Noé e Abraão é o Deus que fala conosco e cumpre cada promessa. Assim, podemos viver com fé, sabendo que Cristo está no centro de tudo o que Gênesis anuncia. A história de Gênesis aponta para Jesus – e em Cristo “toda a criação será restaurada” (Rm 8:21) – dando-nos esperança e paz no caminho da vida. Confiemos no Senhor, pois Ele é fiel para realizar em nós o que prometeu desde o princípio.

Fontes: Esta reflexão reuniu ensinamentos bíblicos fundamentados na teologia reformada. As Escrituras de Gênesis e os comentários de autores reformados foram citados para apoiar cada ponto (por exemplo, Gn 3:15, Gn 15:6, Gn 22, e passagens de Paulo). As lições extraídas refletem tanto a simplicidade da narrativa quanto a profundidade do plano de salvação que vem de Deus.

Introduction

Me and Fishcake have been working on infrastructure for Noswhere and Nostr.build. Part of this involves processing a large amount of Nostr events for features such as search, analytics, and feeds.

I have been recently developing nosdex v3, a newer version of the Noswhere scraper that is designed for maximum performance and fault tolerance using FoundationDB (FDB).

Fishcake has been working on a processing system for Nostr events to use with NB, based off of Cloudflare (CF) Pipelines, which is a relatively new beta product. This evening, we put it all to the test.

First preparations

We set up a new CF Pipelines endpoint, and I implemented a basic importer that took data from the nosdex database. This was quite slow, as it did HTTP requests synchronously, but worked as a good smoke test.

Asynchronous indexing

I implemented a high-contention queue system designed for highly parallel indexing operations, built using FDB, that supports: - Fully customizable batch sizes - Per-index queues - Hundreds of parallel consumers - Automatic retry logic using lease expiration

When the scraper first gets an event, it will process it and eventually write it to the blob store and FDB. Each new event is appended to the event log.

On the indexing side, a Queuer will read the event log, and batch events (usually 2K-5K events) into one work job. This work job contains: - A range in the log to index - Which target this job is intended for - The size of the job and some other metadata

Each job has an associated leasing state, which is used to handle retries and prioritization, and ensure no duplication of work.

Several Workers monitor the index queue (up to 128) and wait for new jobs that are available to lease.

Once a suitable job is found, the worker acquires a lease on the job and reads the relevant events from FDB and the blob store.

Depending on the indexing type, the job will be processed in one of a number of ways, and then marked as completed or returned for retries.

In this case, the event is also forwarded to CF Pipelines.

Trying it out

The first attempt did not go well. I found a bug in the high-contention indexer that led to frequent transaction conflicts. This was easily solved by correcting an incorrectly set parameter.

We also found there were other issues in the indexer, such as an insufficient amount of threads, and a suspicious decrease in the speed of the Queuer during processing of queued jobs.

Along with fixing these issues, I also implemented other optimizations, such as deprioritizing Worker DB accesses, and increasing the batch size.

To fix the degraded Queuer performance, I ran the backfill job by itself, and then started indexing after it had completed.

Bottlenecks, bottlenecks everywhere

After implementing these fixes, there was an interesting problem: The DB couldn't go over 80K reads per second. I had encountered this limit during load testing for the scraper and other FDB benchmarks.

As I suspected, this was a client thread limitation, as one thread seemed to be using high amounts of CPU. To overcome this, I created a new client instance for each Worker.

After investigating, I discovered that the Go FoundationDB client cached the database connection. This meant all attempts to create separate DB connections ended up being useless.

Using OpenWithConnectionString partially resolved this issue. (This also had benefits for service-discovery based connection configuration.)

To be able to fully support multi-threading, I needed to enabled the FDB multi-client feature. Enabling it also allowed easier upgrades across DB versions, as FDB clients are incompatible across versions:

FDB_NETWORK_OPTION_EXTERNAL_CLIENT_LIBRARY="/lib/libfdb_c.so" FDB_NETWORK_OPTION_CLIENT_THREADS_PER_VERSION="16"

Breaking the 100K/s reads barrier

After implementing support for the multi-threaded client, we were able to get over 100K reads per second.

You may notice after the restart (gap) the performance dropped. This was caused by several bugs: 1. When creating the CF Pipelines endpoint, we did not specify a region. The automatically selected region was far away from the server. 2. The amount of shards were not sufficient, so we increased them. 3. The client overloaded a few HTTP/2 connections with too many requests.

I implemented a feature to assign each Worker its own HTTP client, fixing the 3rd issue. We also moved the entire storage region to West Europe to be closer to the servers.

After these changes, we were able to easily push over 200K reads/s, mostly limited by missing optimizations:

It's shards all the way down

While testing, we also noticed another issue: At certain times, a pipeline would get overloaded, stalling requests for seconds at a time. This prevented all forward progress on the Workers.

We solved this by having multiple pipelines: A primary pipeline meant to be for standard load, with moderate batching duration and less shards, and high-throughput pipelines with more shards.

Each Worker is assigned a pipeline on startup, and if one pipeline stalls, other workers can continue making progress and saturate the DB.

The stress test

After making sure everything was ready for the import, we cleared all data, and started the import.

The entire import lasted 20 minutes between 01:44 UTC and 02:04 UTC, reaching a peak of: - 0.25M requests per second - 0.6M keys read per second - 140MB/s reads from DB - 2Gbps of network throughput

FoundationDB ran smoothly during this test, with: - Read times under 2ms - Zero conflicting transactions - No overloaded servers

CF Pipelines held up well, delivering batches to R2 without any issues, while reaching its maximum possible throughput.

Finishing notes

Me and Fishcake have been building infrastructure around scaling Nostr, from media, to relays, to content indexing. We consistently work on improving scalability, resiliency and stability, even outside these posts.

Many things, including what you see here, are already a part of Nostr.build, Noswhere and NFDB, and many other changes are being implemented every day.

If you like what you are seeing, and want to integrate it, get in touch. :)

secp256k1lab: An Insecure Python Library That Makes Bitcoin Safer

Some Bitcoin developers have long believed in the need for a unified, reusable cryptographic BIP reference standard for secp256k1. Blockstream Research has released secp256k1lab — an intentionally insecure new Python library designed for prototyping, experimentation, and BIP specifications.

This library is NOT intended for production use (it lacks constant-time protections and is thus vulnerable to side-channel attacks). However, it fills a gap by providing a clean and consistent reference implementation of secp256k1 functionality, including BIP-340 style Schnorr signatures, ECDH, and low-level field/group operations. Its goal: to make future BIP authoring simpler and more secure by avoiding redundant, one-off implementations. For BIP authors, this means less custom code, fewer specification bugs, and a clearer path from prototype to proposal.

Block-Based Time-Based One-Time Passwords for Secure Passphrase Validation in Bitcoin Wallets

This article introduces a method for passphrase validation and Bitcoin software wallet access control using a block-based time-based one-time password (TOTP) system.

Unlike traditional TOTP systems, this method uses blockchain data — specifically Bitcoin block height and block hash — combined with securely stored cryptographic secrets to generate a 6-digit dynamic verification code with the following security properties:

• Two-Factor Protection: Combines device possession and blockchain-derived time-based data.

• Replay Resistance: Codes change with every block (~10-min cycle).

• Minimal Attack Surface: Passphrase never typed or copied.

• Hardware-Backed Secrets: Mobile app secret stored in non-exportable secure hardware.

Ethereum Community Explores Replacing EVM with RISC-V — Spotlight on CKB-VM Experience

Vitalik recently proposed the idea of replacing the EVM with RISC-V on the Ethereum forum, citing the design of CKB-VM as a reference. This has sparked active discussion in both communities around RISC-V as a technical direction. As the conversation deepens, the original design decisions behind CKB-VM have resurfaced, drawing renewed interest and encouraging more developers to study its architecture and lessons.

CKB is the Layer 1 blockchain of the Nervos Network. Its smart contract model, called the Cell model, is inspired by Bitcoin’s UTXO system. It uses the RISC-V–based CKB-VM to enable efficient and multi-language smart contract execution. Find more details in:

Integrating Taproot Assets into Ark

Ark Labs shared their proof-of-concept of integrating Taproot Assets into the off-chain batching layer of Ark. They introduced tVTXOs (tokenized Virtual Transaction Outputs) — virtual outputs that embed Taproot Asset commitments.

tVTXOs behave like regular VTXOs, spendable off-chain and pre-signable for unilateral exits, but with two additional features:

• Asset Commitments: Embedded in PkScript using Taproot’s internal key and TapTree structure.

• Transfer Proof Files: A cryptographically linked, deterministic chain of off-chain proofs tracking asset inclusion. These can be activated via on-chain metadata to exit the Taproot Asset ecosystem.

Erk: An Ark Protocol Upgrade Removing User Round Interactions

Erk is a novel variant of the Ark protocol that introduces refund transactions with rebindable signatures. This allows users to pre-sign outputs that the server can safely refresh without needing the user to be online for each round — addressing one of Ark’s limitations.

Another feature of Erk is “perpetual offline refresh” — users can bulk pre-sign future refreshes. With watchtowers monitoring the protocol, users can stay offline indefinitely while their funds remain safe.

Citrea Launches Clementine: A BitVM-Based Trust-Minimized 2-Way Peg Bridge

Rollup Citrea has deployed Clementine Bridge on Bitcoin testnet — the first fully BitVM-based bridge design on Bitcoin testnet. Clementine is Citrea’s trust-minimized, two-way peg solution powered by:

• Bitcoin and Citrea’s light client proofs

• Zero-knowledge proof verifier in BitVM

As long as one single verifier in the BitVM setup is honest, Clementine remains secure — a major improvement over existing approaches (e.g., open and closed federations). Paired with Citrea’s trustless light client, Clementine minimizes trust in Citrea’s bridge design and doesn’t require a soft fork.

Demand Outpaces Licensing: LuckyMiner Drives Home Mining Boom Amid Controversy

LuckyMiner, a Bitcoin mining startup based in Shenzhen, China, is gaining traction with its mini miners. Their products are clones of the open-source Bitaxe miners from the U.S. However, Bitaxe is licensed under CERN-OHL-S-2.0, which requires all modifications to be open-sourced—something LuckyMiner has not complied with.

According to this post, LuckyMiner's founder openly admitted to violating the license and claimed that while their LuckyMiner devices for retail customers don’t comply with the open-source terms, they also produce fully license-compliant Bitaxes for business clients, while simultaneously cloning mining equipment from Braiins.

Against Burning Quantum-Vulnerable Bitcoins

Jameson Lopp has previously argued in favor of burning bitcoin in vulnerable addresses, to prevent funds from being taken by those who win the quantum computing race.

Guillaume Girard from UTXO Management disagrees, offering these counterpoints:

• Property rights violation: Burning coins without the owner’s consent undermines the very principle of property rights. Forcing coins into unspendability erodes the core Bitcoin ethos of ownership and control.

• Ethical concerns: While burning these coins may prevent quantum theft, it also punishes users who lost wallets or don’t understand the quantum threat—offering no chance for recovery.

Instead of burning, he proposes more constructive steps:

• Hourglass: Mitigates the downsides of both “confiscatory” and “liquidation” approaches – by limiting the potential supply shock of a quantum event, without burning coins or flooding markets.

This solution, proposed by Hunter Beast, aims to be the “least damaging” option and is currently under review by developers. Additionally, Hunter Beast has already proposed BIP 360 to bring Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) to Bitcoin with a new address type.

Old Miners, New Heat: Mining-as-Heating Might Just Work

BitMEX reviewed the Heatbit Trio—a Bitcoin miner repurposed into a room heater redesigned with a quiet fan.

The reviewer found the Heatbit concept commercially appealing and believes the heating-mining hybrid space is worth watching. The rate of improvement in ASIC efficiencies will decline (partly due to the limits of Moore’s Law), such that ASICs can economically mine Bitcoin for much longer—possibly up to 10 years. With fewer new technical risks, production costs should also drop. When that happens, integrating mining with heating systems may become practical.

2025-05-01 21:01:55

The arrival of the coronavirus brought not only illness and death but also fear and panic. In such an environment of uncertainty, people have naturally stocked up on necessities, not knowing when things will return to normal.

Retail shelves have been cleared out, and even online suppliers like Amazon and Walmart are out of stock for some items. Independent sellers on these e-commerce platforms have had to fill the gap. With the huge increase in demand, they have found that their inventory has skyrocketed in value.

Many in need of these items (e.g. toilet paper, hand sanitizer and masks) balk at the new prices. They feel they are being taken advantage of in a time of need and call for intervention by the government to lower prices. The government has heeded that call, labeling the independent sellers as "price gougers" and threatening sanctions if they don't lower their prices. Amazon has suspended seller accounts and law enforcement at all levels have threatened to prosecute. Prices have dropped as a result and at first glance this seems like a victory for fair play. But, we will have to dig deeper to understand the unseen consequences of this intervention.

We must look at the economics of the situation, how supply and demand result in a price and how that price acts as a signal that goes out to everyone, informing them of underlying conditions in the economy and helping coordinate their actions.

It all started with a rise in demand. Given a fixed supply (e.g., the limited stock on shelves and in warehouses), an increase in demand inevitably leads to higher prices. Most people are familiar with this phenomenon, such as paying more for airline tickets during holidays or surge pricing for rides.

Higher prices discourage less critical uses of scarce resources. For example, you might not pay $1,000 for a plane ticket to visit your aunt if you can get one for $100 the following week, but someone else might pay that price to visit a dying relative. They value that plane seat more than you.

*** During the crisis, demand surged and their shelves emptied even though

However, retail outlets have not raised prices. They have kept them low, so the low-value uses of things like toilet paper, masks and hand sanitizer has continued. Often, this "use" just takes the form of hoarding. At everyday low prices, it makes sense to buy hundreds of rolls and bottles. You know you will use them eventually, so why not stock up? And, with all those extra supplies in the closet and basement, you don't need to change your behavior much. You don't have to ration your use.

At the low prices, these scarce resources got bought up faster and faster until there was simply none left. The reality of the situation became painfully clear to those who didn't panic and got to the store late: You have no toilet paper and you're not going to any time soon.

However, if prices had been allowed to rise, a number of effects would have taken place that would have coordinated the behavior of everyone so that valuable resources would not have been wasted or hoarded, and everyone could have had access to what they needed.

On the demand side, if prices had been allowed to rise, people would have begun to self-ration. You might leave those extra plies on the roll next time if you know they will cost ten times as much to replace. Or, you might choose to clean up a spill with a rag rather than disposable tissue. Most importantly, you won't hoard as much. That 50th bottle of hand sanitizer might just not be worth it at the new, high price. You'll leave it on the shelf for someone else who may have none.

On the supply side, higher prices would have incentivized people to offer up more of their stockpiles for sale. If you have a pallet full of toilet paper in your basement and all of the sudden they are worth $15 per roll, you might just list a few online. But, if it is illegal to do so, you probably won't.

Imagine you run a business installing insulation and have a few thousand respirator masks on hand for your employees. During a pandemic, it is much more important that people breathe filtered air than that insulation get installed, and that fact is reflected in higher prices. You will sell your extra masks at the higher price rather than store them for future insulation jobs, and the scarce resource will be put to its most important use.

Producers of hand sanitizer would go into overdrive if prices were allowed to rise. They would pay their employees overtime, hire new ones, and pay a premium for their supplies, making sure their raw materials don't go to less important uses.

These kinds of coordinated actions all across the economy would be impossible without real prices to guide them. How do you know if it makes sense to spend an extra $10k bringing a thousand masks to market unless you know you can get more than $10 per mask? If the price is kept artificially low, you simply can't do it. The money just isn't there.

These are the immediate effects of a price change, but incredibly, price changes also coordinate people's actions across space and time.

Across space, there are different supply and demand conditions in different places, and thus prices are not uniform. We know some places are real "hot spots" for the virus, while others are mostly unaffected. High demand in the hot spots leads to higher prices there, which attracts more of the resource to those areas. Boxes and boxes of essential items would pour in where they are needed most from where they are needed least, but only if prices were allowed to adjust freely.

This would be accomplished by individuals and businesses buying low in the unaffected areas, selling high in the hot spots and subtracting their labor and transportation costs from the difference. Producers of new supply would know exactly where it is most needed and ship to the high-demand, high-price areas first. The effect of these actions is to increase prices in the low demand areas and reduce them in the high demand areas. People in the low demand areas will start to self-ration more, reflecting the reality of their neighbors, and people in the hotspots will get some relief.

However, by artificially suppressing prices in the hot spot, people there will simply buy up the available supply and run out, and it will be cost prohibitive to bring in new supply from low-demand areas.

Prices coordinate economic actions across time as well. Just as entrepreneurs and businesses can profit by transporting scarce necessities from low-demand to high-demand areas, they can also profit by buying in low-demand times and storing their merchandise for when it is needed most.

Just as allowing prices to freely adjust in one area relative to another will send all the right signals for the optimal use of a scarce resource, allowing prices to freely adjust over time will do the same.

When an entrepreneur buys up resources during low-demand times in anticipation of a crisis, she restricts supply ahead of the crisis, which leads to a price increase. She effectively bids up the price. The change in price affects consumers and producers in all the ways mentioned above. Consumers self-ration more, and producers bring more of the resource to market.

Our entrepreneur has done a truly incredible thing. She has predicted the future, and by so doing has caused every individual in the economy to prepare for a shortage they don't even know is coming! And, by discouraging consumption and encouraging production ahead of time, she blunts the impact the crisis will have. There will be more of the resource to go around when it is needed most.

On top of this, our entrepreneur still has her stockpile she saved back when everyone else was blithely using it up. She can now further mitigate the damage of the crisis by selling her stock during the worst of it, when people are most desperate for relief. She will know when this is because the price will tell her, but only if it is allowed to adjust freely. When the price is at its highest is when people need the resource the most, and those willing to pay will not waste it or hoard it. They will put it to its highest valued use.

The economy is like a big bus we are all riding in, going down a road with many twists and turns. Just as it is difficult to see into the future, it is difficult to see out the bus windows at the road ahead.

On the dashboard, we don't have a speedometer or fuel gauge. Instead we have all the prices for everything in the economy. Prices are what tell us the condition of the bus and the road. They tell us everything. Without them, we are blind.

Good times are a smooth road. Consumer prices and interest rates are low, investment returns are steady. We hit the gas and go fast. But, the road is not always straight and smooth. Sometimes there are sharp turns and rough patches. Successful entrepreneurs are the ones who can see what is coming better than everyone else. They are our navigators.

When they buy up scarce resources ahead of a crisis, they are hitting the brakes and slowing us down. When they divert resources from one area to another, they are steering us onto a smoother path. By their actions in the market, they adjust the prices on our dashboard to reflect the conditions of the road ahead, so we can prepare for, navigate and get through the inevitable difficulties we will face.

Interfering with the dashboard by imposing price floors or price caps doesn't change the conditions of the road (the number of toilet paper rolls in existence hasn't changed). All it does is distort our perception of those conditions. We think the road is still smooth--our heavy foot stomping the gas--as we crash onto a rocky dirt road at 80 miles per hour (empty shelves at the store for weeks on end).

Supply, demand and prices are laws of nature. All of this is just how things work. It isn't right or wrong in a moral sense. Price caps lead to waste, shortages and hoarding as surely as water flows downhill. The opposite--allowing prices to adjust freely--leads to conservation of scarce resources and their being put to their highest valued use. And yes, it leads to profits for the entrepreneurs who were able to correctly predict future conditions, and losses for those who weren't.

Is it fair that they should collect these profits? On the one hand, anyone could have stocked up on toilet paper, hand sanitizer and face masks at any time before the crisis, so we all had a fair chance to get the supplies cheaply. On the other hand, it just feels wrong that some should profit so much at a time when there is so much need.

Our instinct in the moment is to see the entrepreneur as a villain, greedy "price gouger". But we don't see the long chain of economic consequences the led to the situation we feel is unfair.

If it weren't for anti-price-gouging laws, the major retailers would have raised their prices long before the crisis became acute. When they saw demand outstrip supply, they would have raised prices, not by 100 fold, but gradually and long before anyone knew how serious things would have become. Late comers would have had to pay more, but at least there would be something left on the shelf.

As an entrepreneur, why take risks trying to anticipate the future if you can't reap the reward when you are right? Instead of letting instead of letting entrepreneurs--our navigators--guide us, we are punishing and vilifying them, trying to force prices to reflect a reality that simply doesn't exist.

In a crisis, more than any other time, prices must be allowed to fluctuate. To do otherwise is to blind ourselves at a time when danger and uncertainty abound. It is economic suicide.

In a crisis, there is great need, and the way to meet that need is not by pretending it's not there, by forcing prices to reflect a world where there isn't need. They way to meet the need is the same it has always been, through charity.

If the people in government want to help, the best way for the to do so is to be charitable and reduce their taxes and fees as much as possible, ideally to zero in a time of crisis. Amazon, for example, could instantly reduce the price of all crisis related necessities by 20% if they waived their fee. This would allow for more uses by more people of these scarce supplies as hoarders release their stockpiles on to the market, knowing they can get 20% more for their stock. Governments could reduce or eliminate their tax burden on high-demand, crisis-related items and all the factors that go into their production, with the same effect: a reduction in prices and expansion of supply. All of us, including the successful entrepreneurs and the wealthy for whom high prices are not a great burden, could donate to relief efforts.

These ideas are not new or untested. This is core micro economics. It has been taught for hundreds of years in universities the world over. The fact that every crisis that comes along stirs up ire against entrepreneurs indicates not that the economics is wrong, but that we have a strong visceral reaction against what we perceive to be unfairness. This is as it should be. Unfairness is wrong and the anger it stirs in us should compel us to right the wrong. Our anger itself isn't wrong, it's just misplaced.

Entrepreneurs didn't cause the prices to rise. Our reaction to a virus did that. We saw a serious threat and an uncertain future and followed our natural impulse to hoard. Because prices at major retail suppliers didn't rise, that impulse ran rampant and we cleared the shelves until there was nothing left. We ran the bus right off the road and them blamed the entrepreneurs for showing us the reality of our situation, for shaking us out of the fantasy of low prices.

All of this is not to say that entrepreneurs are high-minded public servants. They are just doing their job. Staking your money on an uncertain future is a risky business. There are big risks and big rewards. Most entrepreneurs just scrape by or lose their capital in failed ventures.

However, the ones that get it right must be allowed to keep their profits, or else no one will try and we'll all be driving blind. We need our navigators. It doesn't even matter if they know all the positive effects they are having on the rest of us and the economy as a whole. So long as they are buying low and selling high--so long as they are doing their job--they will be guiding the rest of us through the good times and the bad, down the open road and through the rough spots.

Introduction:

The future doesn’t look good for America. The economy is down, politics is in shambles, and, perhaps most devastating, the culture is split. The only agreement is that change is needed.

This article aims to pave a road forward. Innovation drives the economy, and great innovations change and improve daily life. Joint efforts between public institutions and private enterprise, along with the energy and momentum generated by efficient and productive programs, can be orchestrated to cultivate national pride. But those programs need to have a noble purpose. Devotion toward technologies with the potential to transform and improve people’s lives should be the goal. Due to recent advancements in biotechnology, efforts should be directed there.

Section 1 dives into the cultural divide. Section 2 outlines a way forward by examining the innovative process and how it can be implemented. Section 3 looks at the specifics of that implementation. Section 4 consists of concluding remarks about the future.

Section 1: A Divided Country

There are two competing visions dividing America. The Woke vision asserts that the United States was, and is, a fundamentally oppressive regime. The idea of a universal reason, the notion that human beings can attain progress in perpetuity through liberal democracy, science, and capitalism, is seen as nothing more than an ideological weapon used to coerce people into acquiescing to a hierarchy that benefits the few while exploiting the many – and so, out of principles of fairness and equity, the country has to be dismantled.

The Trumpian vision attempts to reaffirm American values. It aims to reestablish American exceptionalism and reinvigorate the American vision of prosperity and economic growth. It seeks to rekindle a sense of American greatness. But it does so cheaply. It is, in essence, the dying breath of a consumer culture fighting its own death. Like the first vision, it too rejects reason and discussion and the procedural processes necessary for liberal democracy. It perceives power as the proper political tool for achieving its objectives. It is not an attempt to restore the values that once characterized the country; it breaks from the American tradition in a radical direction toward a politics of entertainment.

Long ago, the country believed that the human capacity for reason – the ability to see the world clearly under the light of truth, unencumbered by bias or prejudice, free from instinct and emotion – was the torch that carries posterity forward. The founders believed the Bill of Rights and The Constitution enshrined eternal truths that reason alone made accessible. John Locke, an influential figure for the founders, stated that the primary purpose of government is to protect individuals' natural rights. We are all free and have the right to live the life we wish to live. But government is needed to ensure others do not interfere with those rights. What binds us is not a religion or creed but the mutual opportunity for each individual to form their own beliefs, to live out their own conceptions of the good. While fundamental, we will see that it is not enough. A collective purpose is necessary.

Now, the Woke vision sees this older view as wholly mythological – and for good reason. For example, there was a time when black people did not know they were descendants from Africa or the Caribbean and not naturally disposed slaves. People’s various histories and genealogies were stripped away, creating a space by which their humanity could be taken and they could be exploited. They were purposefully and intentionally cast into the shadows of history, and the culpable thought themselves perfectly justified. There was a time when moral and historical narratives depicting a grand destiny of white people conquering the West were considered to be true and that the genocide of Native peoples was not only acceptable but in fact necessary, and therefore legitimate. It has been a titanic and creative effort by great individuals and collective coalitions to get America to become self-conscious of its heinous blunders. Some of the best art and ideas of the twentieth century were born out of those efforts. The beginnings of liberation are born out of the ability to imagine a horizon beyond one’s current circumstances. And that ability for many people has been forged by courageous and heroic predecessors. But the spirit of those movements and their development into the Woke vision is a sign that it has lost its creative potential.

The Woke vision asserts that values like reason and rights are the remains of a colonial legacy. However, by negating them and failing to replace them with new values, deconstructive forces are all that remain. The country has historically failed (as well as succeeded) in living up to what reason and rights demand. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t the proper path forward. The assumption here is that they are, and they have to be creatively reinterpreted.

And the Trumpian vision fails as well. But it is worse because it never did, nor will it ever have any real creative potential. It is highly destructive. We can think about this in the following way.

The nineteenth-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche believed a single, fundamental drive governs all of organic life: the will to power. Life, in a constant struggle, perpetually strives to expand and overcome itself repeatedly. From the brute force of two animals fighting for scarce resources to the highest manifestation of human potential, such as moral systems and inspiring artwork, all are produced from the same vital energy and source: the effort to attain power and mastery over a chaotic world.

As society develops and moves away from a state of nature, the will to power transfigures itself through a sublimative process that demands the individual to repress particular instincts and act according to the strictures and constraints formulated and instituted by the collective. As Freud observed in his Civilization and Its Discontents, the push and pull between primitive and ancient instincts and civilization’s repression of them create inextricable tensions. The Yale historian Marci Shore makes an incisive observation of Trump as a symbolic figure using this context and its language: he is the release and outpouring of those repressed instincts – the license to overthrow the restraints placed on the individual. Trump is the embodiment of brute force, a blind ego striving to assert itself over the world, adopting whatever means are available to achieve its aim. He is an eruption of the repressed Hobbesian state of nature, which expresses “a perpetual and restless desire of power after power that ceaseth only in death.” This is a destructive instinct, and we would be wise not to find out what follows.

Section 2: Unity Through Innovation

So, what is the solution? The country needs a ballast point. It needs national pride. Without a shared sense of identity and purpose, a sense of belonging to a larger community bound by a set of values, the country will continue to unravel. Regardless of the philosophical-level disputes and disagreements on fundamental principles that divide left from right, a collective identity needs to emerge. This article argues that, like the founders, we should turn to our institutions. We should look at how our institutions can facilitate needs by enabling individuals with the creative energy and tenacity to bring about new technologies and innovations that will transform the economy and standards of living. But not just new gadgets and services like iPhones and DoorDash but new technologies with the potential to enable people to live more fulfillingly and purposefully. New vaccines to eliminate unruly diseases, new therapies to mitigate the effects of debilitating illnesses, novel pharmaceuticals with competitive prices and cheaper means of production, and innovative mechanisms to empower people with disabilities to live as they are only able to imagine should play a major part in the mission that characterizes the country. That is a purpose to be proud of. Institutions like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) should act as bows, shooting forward the individuals and companies striving to reach that mark.

There’s a lot of talk about government efficiency and the need to be more fiscally responsible. Those are good things. But efficiency needs to have a purpose. There must be a goal that efficiency works to achieve. We should not wish to live without regulatory institutions. For example, people like Balaji Srinivasan are wrong to think we’re better off in an FDA-free society. The goal should be to harness those institutions, conduct more research and development, and utilize resources more effectively to achieve the results we want as a country. Just as we should strive to continue and expand our role in the AI race, we should also aim to maintain and further develop our leadership in biotech.

But we need a new of what the historian Gary Gerstle calls political order to achieve this. Political orders are “a vision of the good life that sells important constituencies on the virtues of a way of doing politics. The New Deal order and the Neoliberal order—which are, in a sense, the reverse of each other—illustrate this.”

It is common in America to see the world through the lenses of The New Deal and Neoliberal political orders for resolving issues in the country. The latter is to let the market decide, and the former is to create government programs to achieve some conception of the good. The former is, more or less, a libertarian solution and was very popular during the 1980s. The latter took form in what is known as progressivism, and it found popular expression during the 1930s and 1940s in FDR’s New Deal programs. The basic distinction separating these two political orders is between the right and the good.

Rights are the norms of obligations and constraints necessary for us all to coexist while simultaneously maintaining what many believe is the principal value of liberal democracy: freedom and liberty (these terms will be used interchangeably). Rights are not in the business of prescribing definite ways of life or enforcing particular ends for people to pursue. Rights preserve the conditions for freedom, and people are free to choose what to do with that freedom insofar as their decisions do not infringe on another person’s right to do so as well. Freedom, then, is the absence of coercion. By having that freedom, each is allowed to exercise their powers and capabilities according to their own discretion.

In the American context, by virtue of being a human being, we are said to be endowed with inalienable rights. And those rights both protect each individual from external coercion and provide a license for certain kinds of action. I am protected from being forced to say certain opinions and adopt particular beliefs. And I have the license to speak my own opinions, expound my own beliefs, and give voice to my own personal conscience. I am protected from forced association with people whom I do not wish to associate with, from the coercion to vote for a particular candidate, from being disallowed to protest, and from adopting ends I do not agree with or value. And, of course, that means I have a license to associate with whom I wish, vote for whoever I like, protest legislation I dislike, and adopt the ends I truly value. We are all free, and we all are obligated and constrained to preserve the conditions for us all to exercise that freedom mutually.

But if that is what rights are, how does a society ensure a distribution of goods and services for everyone to enjoy and partake in? After all, a right to free speech isn’t going to ensure anyone that they will have meals for nourishment, clothing for warmth, shelter from harsh conditions. The response comes from Adam Smith: economic freedom. Everyone has a natural propensity to “truck, barter, and trade” in order to improve their condition. And by the very nature of voluntary exchange, each party benefits. By an individual living his life according to his own interests, values, and ends, he “promote(s) an end which has no part of his own intention.” The invisible hand of the market promotes the ends held by other individuals, allowing everyone to live as they see fit and to coexist harmoniously with the community. By having the political freedom of rights and the economic freedom to exchange, people cooperate spontaneously and organically. That is the spirit of the neoliberal political order.

A conception of the good is different, and its meaning can be disclosed through the great liberal philosopher Voltaire’s likely apocryphal statement, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” What Voltaire disagrees with is not someone’s right to speak but of what they are saying, and we can imagine the person to be voicing their conception of the good, their values and ends that they believe characterize the good life, the life we ought to live, and Voltaire disapproves of it. The good is concerned with the proper ends that should be prioritized in order to flourish. Socrates famously declared the unexamined life is not worth living. Well, he’s espousing a conception of the good. It is a life of the intellect, a life of rational reflection and deliberation aimed toward self-knowledge. Are one’s beliefs consistent? Does one’s actions contradict what one truly believes? Is one aware of what one truly believes? And does one have the desire to discover the truth? These are Socratic questions, and a life devoted to answering them is a Socratic one.

Now, if there is a universal conception of the good life, if human beings have particular ends that define what it means to be a human being, and if failing to fulfill those ends implies a failure to realize one’s human potential for flourishing, then rights do not secure such outcomes. Rights only ensure individuals are free to pursue such ends if they wish. And given the contingency of life, that is to say that, because people are born into conditions they did not choose but were instead thrown into them, and because some individuals are born into wealth and advantage and some are born into poverty and disadvantage, some have the privilege to achieve the ends characterizing a good life and some do not. And that is unfair. And so, government programs, central planning, and economic stewardship can be used to enable and empower the underprivileged to achieve what others are better positioned to do. This is the spirit of the New Deal political order.

The mistake is to think the appropriate social, cultural, and political issues can be resolved by only one of these political orders. It is not one or the other. Both of these political orders capture powerful intuitions about how society should best function and operate, and there should be a synthesis between them.

Now, it is common knowledge that innovation drives economic growth. As capital becomes more efficient and fewer inputs are required to produce more outputs, the economy expands. In Matt Ridely’s book, Innovation: How It Works, he demonstrates beautifully the often messy and non-rational character of the innovative process.

At the heart of that process, he says, is serendipity. As frustrating as it is to human nature, the innovative process cannot be intelligently designed into a precise instrument capable of reproducing all the wonderful fruits that result from it. There is something inherently unpredictable about it, something unruly. It is organic and spontaneous. It demands the determination of individuals willing to fail over and over again until enough experience, insight, and gradual, often painstaking, progress results in the desired effects.

Ridley observes that so many of these innovations require the rich air of freedom to stimulate the instinct for exploration and discovery. Freedom nourishes and sustains that instinct, allowing it to grow and flourish. People must be free from unnecessary regulations and constraints to focus their creative energy on projects that demand endless hours of trying countless imaginative possibilities – and failing until something works. There’s always a tremendous amount of risk-taking. People need to be free to take them.

People also need to be free to collaborate with others who are also devoted to discovering a solution to seemingly intractable problems. The division of labor, where individuals specialize in a particular task and coordinate with others who do the same to maximize efficiency and productivity, is essential to the process. There’s a reason, as Ridley notes, that many innovations take place in cities, where individuals freely associate and influence one another.

Freedom also allows room for mistakes. Ridley documents many cases where innovation is the result of a mistake, not an intentional plan of action. Innovations can often begin with an intention that has nothing to do with the innovation itself. A deliberate decision leading to a breakthrough discovery can be entirely unrelated, even frivolous. Take the example of Louie Pasteur, one of the key discoverers of germ theory. He was inoculating chickens with cholera from an infected chicken broth when he left for vacation, leaving his assistant, Charles Chamberland, to continue the experiments. Charles, for whatever reason (perhaps he thought the whole idea was crazy), forgot about his responsibility and went on vacation. When both returned, they injected a chicken with the stale broth.

It made the chicken sick but did not kill it. And so he injected the same chicken with a much more virulent cholera strain that typically and easily killed chickens – and it failed. The chicken lived. Vaccines, an innovation on inoculation, emerged. Funny enough, a similar incident occurred with Alexander Fleming. Known for being sloppy, Fleming carelessly left out a culture plate of staphylococcus and took off for vacation for a couple of weeks. When he returned, he discovered a mold had grown that was resistant to the bacteria.

Penicillin was soon developed. All this is to say that, along with Ridley, “Innovation is the child of freedom and the parent of prosperity.”

But government has also been integral to many inventions and innovations that would later revolutionize the economy and, therefore, daily life itself. Mariana Mazzucato’s book The Entrepreneurial State makes a persuasive case for the significance of public institutions in the innovative process. When the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), initially known as ARPA until 1972, was established in 1958 in response to the launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik in 1957, it aimed to promote ‘blue-sky thinking’ for technological initiatives. Meaning that the goal was to invest in riskier research that potentially would yield long-term gains despite not having any immediate or obvious returns on investment. DARPA pursued “ideas that went beyond the horizon in that they may not produce results for ten or 20 years.”

What makes DARPA a successful agency is its decentralized model. The philosophy is: "Find brilliant people. Give them resources. Get out of their way." DARPA hires talented and competent experts to run programs autonomously, providing them the discretion to pursue projects highlighted by their expertise, which are often considered risky. This model enables experts to connect with other researchers, facilitating collaboration and the creation of highly efficient and productive divisions of labor. And again, these are projects that likely wouldn’t find market interest because of their niche or unexplored nature. There isn’t an immediate and conspicuous payoff. And so the connected but separate-from-government model of DARPA provides scientists with a wide degree of latitude, and that freedom allows them to engage in the innovative process of trial and error and risk-taking.

Technologies developed by DARPA included ARPANET, the precursor to the internet; early GPS technology; the beginnings of autonomous vehicles; speech recognition; personal computing; and early AI.

Other agencies have also been foundational in technological advancements (for example, the National Science Foundation (NSF) provided critical grants to facilitate what would become Google’s search engine algorithm). But the DARPA model is what is most interesting here.

If government programs like DARPA can be leveraged to spur more innovation, particularly in areas such as biotech, and these innovations can drive economic growth by being put into the hands of entrepreneurs, investors, and small, medium, and large firms, then this demands national effort and attention. If successful, it is a project worthy of national pride.

So, government programs and spending, if properly structured, can yield high returns on investment if people are given the freedom to explore, try things out, and make the mistakes necessary for the innovative process to be carried through. And we can look to a recent example where the absence of the efforts potentially could have been disastrous. The story of the COVID-19 vaccines is one where the lack of zeal for exploration and breakthrough discoveries could have hindered the development of mRNA research, leaving it underdeveloped when it was needed at a critical moment.

Section 3: Covid-19, The Imperative For Research and Development, and The Institutional Framework

To start, Peter Theil is popular for remarking that innovation in many industries has grown stagnant. Energy, manufacturing, and transportation, for example, haven’t seen much progress in the past half-century.

Computation, on the other hand, has surpassed the imagination. The innovations have not been in atoms but in bits. As Theil puts it, “We wanted flying cars; instead we got 140 characters.” And Ridley writes, “If cars had improved as fast as computers since 1982, they would get nearly four million miles per gallon, so they could go to the moon and back a hundred times on a single tank of fuel.” Unfortunately, we still have to visit the gas station and pay those exorbitant prices.

But biotech has gained momentum in the past decade. The COVID vaccines are an extraordinary example of this. But they wouldn’t have been ready to come to market without the previous three decades of research and development invested in them. And that research and development almost didn’t happen because people lacked the vision and the willingness to embrace the risk that great technological discoveries, inventions, and innovations always require.

Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson’s book Abundance tells this story very well. Katalin Kariko, one of the discoverers of mRNA’s therapeutic capabilities, had enormous difficulty securing funding for her research as an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Those with power thought it too risky, that it didn’t show enough promise, and allocated most resources to DNA research at the time, believing it to be the more auspicious investment. Nevertheless, as so many pioneering figures have done before her, Kariko maintained her vision of unlocking mRNA’s potential for saving lives.

By sheer luck, by the fortune contained in everyday decisions that would lead to saving millions of lives several decades later, Kariko met a colleague who was researching HIV vaccines at the time, Drew Weissman, at a Xerox machine in 1997. He would be pivotal in her research. She is a biochemist, and he, an immunologist. Each provided the knowledge and expertise the other was lacking, and that was essential to their respective goals. Through the serendipity of deciding to walk to a different department to make copies at the time and place she did, Kariko encountered an opportunity to make strides in her research.

Together, however, the two still managed to collect barely enough funding. “The NIH,” which is the largest public funder of biomedical research, “rejected practically all of their grant applications.” They couldn’t get others to have the same foresight. Even after a breakthrough, where they were finally able to send mRNA information into cells without causing horrible inflammation, those in power still blinked. Fortunately, private investment supplied the gust they needed to keep their research going, and two companies created to pursue mRNA research, Moderna and BioNTech, facilitated the vaccine’s development. When Covid spread, enough progress had been made. The FDA, which has set a poor precedent for getting products to market when it matters most, streamlined the approval process and made the vaccine available.

The key features of this story are the following. The first is the lack of risk-taking by institutions and agencies whose aim should be to provide resources to those striving to innovate and push technological progress forward. The second is the lack of coordination to establish intentional environments to converge the paths of those who have the determination, discipline, and vision to bring innovation to fruition. Imagine if Kariko and Weismann didn’t meet; picture Kariko choosing to make copies somewhere else or at a different time. The future may have been radically different. And thirdly, and more optimistically, the FDA served a vital role when it mattered. As a public institution responsible for promoting the public good, they served admirably.

These three parts – funding research, coordinating talent, and the institutions facilitating the results – should coalesce into an optimally functioning whole. Researchers who are trying to shape and influence an unforeseeable future should be encouraged and rewarded. Those who possess powerful and novel ideas, along with the imagination and determination to bring them to life, should be in direct contact with one another. Their paths should cross – intentionally. And lastly, institutions should follow the FDA’s example. Slow regulatory regimes, lengthy processes and paperwork, licensing barriers, and stifling restrictions should be streamlined and transformed into facilitators for technological development and the introduction of powerful and revolutionary technologies into the market.

More funding should be devoted to riskier research. Those with novel and fresh ideas with the potential to disrupt current scientific knowledge and produce a breakthrough should be sought out. It is estimated that roughly 2-5% of the NIH’s current budget of $45 billion is allocated to high-risk research. That should be increased. Programs like the High-Risk, High-Reward Research Program, which includes awards to innovative researchers and ideas, should take on a more robust role and budget than it currently does.

Furthermore, approximately 80% of the NIH budget is allocated to extramural research programs, which are external programs conducted outside of the institution itself. A larger portion of those who receive that funding should be based on their potential for innovation. Currently, as Klein and Thompson observe, the process of obtaining a research grant, which involves extensive paperwork and minutiae, is bureaucratic, cumbersome, inefficient, and time-consuming. A significant amount of energy that should be allocated toward advancing research is spent on securing the funding to do it.

Submitting an application, going through the two review processes, and being approved takes typically nine months to a year. And most fail, leading many scientists to have to apply numerous times in a year. And those doing the review process aren’t necessarily looking for cutting-edge proposals; they’re looking for what fits bureaucratic standards. Of course, this is contentious, but Kariko's story demonstrates its reality. Ridley offers another example. When Francisco Majica made critical advancements in CRISPR technology, it took him “more than a year to get his results published, so sniffy were the prestigious journals at the idea of a significant discovery coming from a scientific nobody.” Institutions must do a better job of trying and supporting novel and unexplored ideas, regardless of who or what they originate from. For example, biotech DAOs do not currently receive funding from government institutions, such as the NIH, due to the traditional legal framework used to distribute resources. Regulatory and legal changes should be implemented to maximize their potential. If there is too much emphasis on process, on bureaucratic procedures and standards, fruitful and rich opportunities suffocate.

The NIH budget also allocates funds to intramural research programs, which are internally connected to the NIH itself. These research programs account for roughly 10% of the NIH’s total budget. A highly promising model to adopt is the DARPA model articulated in Section 2. The NIH should adopt something similar. It should allocate resources to decentralized programs to bring together the best scientists to generate breakthrough ideas. Those programs should be spaces where scientists are free to pursue visionary projects.

Smaller biotech firms, startups, and those without robust forms of funding are often forced to pursue ideas that will capture immediate investment attention. And because of the burdensome and costly bureaucratic processes, investors are justly skeptical about anything risky and cutting-edge.

For example, regarding the FDA approval process, small molecule drugs like pharmaceuticals generally take ten to fifteen years to reach the market. On average, one drug costs $1-2 billion to move through the process, and less than ten percent of those who enter clinical trials succeed. Biologics, such as vaccines and gene therapies, typically take ten to twelve years to reach the market and have a slightly higher success rate than small molecule drugs, ranging from 12 to 15 percent. Those are extensive periods of time, the costs are astronomical, and few can maintain the resources to climb the mountain. This discourages bold enterprise – and it leads to higher prices as well. Due to the cumbersome approval process, the FDA offers exclusivity to companies that bring a product to market, both to reward innovation and to allow companies the opportunity to recoup the tremendous losses incurred by the approval process. This can lead to monopolistic pricing. Innovation should not be rewarded by harming the consumer. Innovation should lift the tide that raises all boats. And so the innovative process shouldn’t be exclusive to those with enough capital to take risks. It should be available to anyone with the tenacity to actualize a bold and promising idea. That’s not to say the process should be less rigorous and methodical. It’s that it needs to be more efficient. But not just efficiency for efficiency's sake; it needs to be efficient toward the right ends and outcomes, and innovation should be a leading goal.

Therefore, a primary goal of the FDA should be to stimulate market interest by expediting the most innovative technologies emerging from research programs driven by the NIH and its innovation initiatives. It’s very important that private research continues innovating as well, and increases in private investment toward manufacturing and research – like Johnson & Johnson’s recent announcement – is good. But new technologies, drugs, vaccines, and therapies should be a central mission of the institutional framework advocated for here – and the process should begin with creativity for creativity’s sake. The profit motive should be employed after realizing a passionate and creative vision. Those truly motivated by inspiration, the people who have the will to manifest something novel and unimaginable, are generally the worst at navigating the business aspect - not always, but often. And the energy pushing them forward is a precious and scarce resource. And so institutions like the FDA and NIH should foster, rather than stifle, their capabilities and opportunities for creating meaningful contributions to the country and the world. The FDA has a history of being slow and untimely when it comes to processing and approving applications for moving to clinical trials. For example, the AIDS epidemic is a stain on the institution’s reputation. When AIDS spread across the US in 1980, it took scientists three years to identify HIV as the cause, five years for the FDA to approve the first blood test to screen for the virus, and seven years to finally get a drug to market. The response to COVID-19 should be the golden standard by which the FDA operates.

Section 4: Human Being and Its Essence

Now, let’s ask the following: what does this have to do with national pride? How does this provide a new vision for the country?

In Alex Karp’s new book, The Technological Republic, he criticizes Silicon Valley for forgetting its roots in developing technology for national purposes. The foundational technology that defines Silicon Valley originated from government programs like DARPA and NASA, which had a clear purpose. They had a mission, and the achievements under those programs demonstrate that.

But now Silicon Valley has shifted to the consumer. Innovations in Silicon Valley generally make life more convenient, comfortable, pleasant, breezy. Goods and services satisfy all our wants and preferences. New apps, better features on social media, increasingly competent virtual assistants, faster food delivery services, endless streams of television and movies and videos, smart appliances, and more and more advanced phones pervade everyday life. The goal is always immediate gratification. There is no horizon that these products look up to. Everything is here and now.

This takes us back to our discussion of rights and conceptions of the good. Silicon Valley isn’t tethered to any real purpose or collective aim. Its goal is to let the market decide. There is no moral or spiritual integrity, no conception of the good that permeates Silicon Valley and its products. Nothing is off limits because it is the consumer’s right to choose. If there is a want, if enough people are willing to buy, Silicon Valley will produce it. No substantive conviction guides their innovations. What does Silicon Valley stand for? It certainly has a creative spirit – just look at all the devices we have today – but that spirit lacks a purpose, and so it wanders aimlessly chasing the fleeting nature of the consumer.

It’s perfectly understandable that Silicon Valley has severed itself from its military roots. Not only would it lose a substantial portion of revenue if it returned to those roots, but there is, of course, a moral dilemma at the heart of most military endeavors, and it is wise to take that seriously. And the Tech sector should not aim to impose a conception of the good on the consumers. The issue is its obsession with the consumer. There are more pressing areas of concern that warrant attention. The wealth of talent in Silicon Valley is better spent in those areas. And it should be done through the efficient use of public institutions.

The new vision is one where taxpayer dollars are used for purposeful and meaningful projects that generate new technologies and innovations that contribute to people’s real needs, not just their wants and preferences. Genuine pride involves courage and bold risk for the sake of principle. It consists in having the determination to carry through an arduous enterprise. And we should be proud as a country if a joint effort between the public and private sectors achieves collective ends.

And at the heart of this pride should be the creative process. Albert Einstein wrote that great scientific discoveries – the new ideas that are leaps in progress toward the expansion of human knowledge – are, again, not the inevitable product of a rigid, refined, and precisely applied method. He believed the great discoveries, the ones that establish new scientific paradigms that enrich society with so many practical fruit, result from a cosmic feeling, a kind of religious experience born out of feelings of awe, wonder, and mystery that are produced by the intellectual and spiritual effort to understand the rational order of the cosmos. He writes, “Enough for me (is) the mystery of the eternity of life, and the inkling of the marvelous structure of reality, together with the single-hearted endeavor to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the reason that manifest itself in nature… I maintain that cosmic religious feeling is the strongest and noblest incitement to scientific research.”

Reaching for and clinching a new and profound idea is not a mechanical and algorithmic activity. Regardless of how finely one specifies the rules of procedure or how regimented the institutional standards for scientific knowledge are prescribed, intuition, sensitivity to the world and its objects, amazement at the experience of observing the world and its causal relations, in short, the feelings and moods of the subject investigating the object, are integral to the discovery of scientific ideas. Methods are pivotal in locating and developing the precise, logical nature of those ideas, but initial contact with them demands variables that are not reducible to fixed procedures. Ideas powerful enough to change the world and better the human condition originate in cosmic feelings of wonder and curiosity and are not strictly an output of a mechanized division of labor.

AI will outrun the human capacity for intelligence. This is a likely prediction. And so what will it mean to be a human being then? For centuries, philosophers have distinguished human beings from other parts of nature by invoking our seemingly unique capacity for reason. We have the ability to contemplate, reflect, and grasp the physical laws governing the cosmos. We can harness those laws and employ them to manipulate our environment, alter its forms, and recombine its parts, allowing us to raise our living standards beyond our ancestor’s imaginations. We are highly intelligent beings, and our intelligence has been regarded as our distinguishing mark.

AI erodes this image. This new technology is becoming, and perhaps already is, a concrete realization, an externalization of what history thought was uniquely our own. The reality that reason isn’t special, that it is nothing more than a physical product of an accidental evolution, a wisp of luck, has become more and more firmly impressed upon the mind over the last two centuries. AI will make it indelible; it is the final proof. And so what is a human being? What distinguishes us?

The answer is in our spontaneous acts of creativity, in our ability to produce beauty in art, complexity in design, and in our profound capability to experience wonder. Again, the innovative process discussed above cannot be rationally formed into a precise instrument. As frustrating as it is, as much as it bumps against our instinct to make everything intelligible and known, our ability for spontaneity and creativity, our capacity to fail over and over again until we receive those moments of imaginative brilliance, cannot be reduced into a definite set of rules and procedures.

And so as the world changes, as everything alters before our eyes, we have to value what makes us distinctly human. We need a new Enlightenment, one that celebrates our creativity and our will to manifest what we can internally envision. Our self-respect as individuals and collectives lies in our instincts for curiosity, inquiry, discovery, and the creative and imaginative processes that animate them.
