DAOs promised decentralization. They offered a system where every member could influence a project's direction, where money and power were transparently distributed, and decisions were made through voting. All of it recorded immutably on the blockchain, free from middlemen. But something didn’t work out. In practice, most DAOs haven’t evolved into living, self-organizing organisms. They became something else: clubs where participation is unevenly distributed. Leaders remained - only now without formal titles. They hold influence through control over communications, task framing, and community dynamics. Centralization still exists, just wrapped in a new package. But there's a second, less obvious problem. Crowds can’t create strategy. In DAOs, people vote for what "feels right to the majority." But strategy isn’t about what feels good - it’s about what’s necessary. Difficult, unpopular, yet forward-looking decisions often fail when put to a vote. A founder’s vision is a risk. But in healthy teams, it’s that risk that drives progress. In DAOs, risk is almost always diluted until it becomes something safe and vague. Instead of empowering leaders, DAOs often neutralize them. This is why many DAOs resemble consensus machines. Everyone talks, debates, and participates, but very little actually gets done. One person says, “Let’s jump,” and five others respond, “Let’s discuss that first.” This dynamic might work for open forums, but not for action. Decentralization works when there’s trust and delegation, not just voting. Until DAOs develop effective systems for assigning roles, taking ownership, and acting with flexibility, they will keep losing ground to old-fashioned startups led by charismatic founders with a clear vision. We’ve seen this in many real-world cases. Take **MakerDAO**, one of the most mature and technically sophisticated DAOs. Its governance token (MKR) holders vote on everything from interest rates to protocol upgrades. While this has allowed for transparency and community involvement, the process is often slow and bureaucratic. Complex proposals stall. Strategic pivots become hard to implement. And in 2023, a controversial proposal to allocate billions to real-world assets passed only narrowly, after months of infighting - highlighting how vision and execution can get stuck in the mud of distributed governance. On the other hand, **Uniswap DAO**, responsible for the largest decentralized exchange, raised governance participation only after launching a delegation system where token holders could choose trusted representatives. Still, much of the activity is limited to a small group of active contributors. The vast majority of token holders remain passive. This raises the question: is it really community-led, or just a formalized power structure with lower transparency? Then there’s **ConstitutionDAO**, an experiment that went viral. It raised over $40 million in days to try and buy a copy of the U.S. Constitution. But despite the hype, the DAO failed to win the auction. Afterwards, it struggled with refund logistics, communication breakdowns, and confusion over governance. It was a perfect example of collective enthusiasm without infrastructure or planning - proof that a DAO can raise capital fast but still lack cohesion. Not all efforts have failed. Projects like **Gitcoin DAO** have made progress by incentivizing small, individual contributions. Their quadratic funding mechanism rewards projects based on the number of contributors, not just the size of donations, helping to elevate grassroots initiatives. But even here, long-term strategy often falls back on a core group of organizers rather than broad community consensus. The pattern is clear: when the stakes are low or the tasks are modular, DAOs can coordinate well. But when bold moves are needed—when someone has to take responsibility and act under uncertainty DAOs often freeze. In the name of consensus, they lose momentum. That’s why the organization of the future can’t rely purely on decentralization. It must encourage individual initiative and the ability to take calculated risks. People need to see their contribution not just as a vote, but as a role with clear actions and expected outcomes. When the situation demands, they should be empowered to act first and present the results to the community afterwards allowing for both autonomy and accountability. That’s not a flaw in the system. It’s how real progress happens.

## 🧠Quote(s) of the week: My current state of mind: It is always the same story Government debases the currency and then blames business for profiteering and "the rich" who the Government has actually enriched. The root cause is government, and its addiction to printing money. The DEBT crisis cannot be sustained. EU, UK, USA, China, etc., cannot continue the Ponzi scheme of printing more money to pay off old money. The previous rate for debt was 0.1%. Countries have to pay their Treasury Bonds, which will be around 4-5%. Wars start so they can all default, and then what comes after is a global financial reset. This is the information the majority of you do not understand or even look at. Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, Scott Bessent, before the Election: “In the next few years, we are going to have some kind of grand economic reordering. Something equivalent to a new Bretton Woods. There’s a very good chance that happens in the next 4 years and I’d like to be a part of it.” Any change of the Bretton Woods order will play in the cards of the scarce, politically neutral, immutable money: Bitcoin. The problem has, and always will be the abuse and misuse of money by those in power. No one should ever have to work for a currency that others can print at will. The foundations are corrupted. Our money is broken. This is the real problem. Until that changes, nothing changes. Educate yourself. Study Bitcoin. ## 🧡Bitcoin news🧡 On the 1st of April: ➡️The value of Metaplanet’s Bitcoin treasury is now 24x larger than the market cap of the company in April 2024.

There should never be a requirement to force move your coins. Try some other quantum-resistant approach. Any quantum-resistant upgrade to the Bitcoin network should be a soft fork and completely optional. It is unethical to delete anyone's funds if they don't upgrade within an allotted time limit.

If you think we'll turn our miners off, you don't understand Bitcoin.' -Tomas Greif On the 7th of April: ➡️ETH/BTC has fully retraced 5 years, now down 11% over that timeframe. This is catastrophic for the thesis that new cryptos “with more utility” can sustainably outperform the OG Bitcoin. Willy Woo: 'ETH "ultrasound money" traded at $1569 today. It traded at $1448 in Jan 2018, thus a compounded IRR of 1.2% for a 7-year investment. I just thought I'd post this to help ETH holders as comments like these are what it takes to help an asset put in a bottom.' ➡️ Luke Broyles: '5 years ago we had a stock market crisis in 2020. Bitcoin fell 40% in one day and 65% in total. The S&P 500 fell 9.5% on that same day. Bitcoin bottomed at $4,000 then went up by 17x in the rebound from the crisis as we printed money. If Bitcoin now falls 45% from the top and then goes up 10x in a similar timeframe, that would be a $600,000 Bitcoin in late 2026. I don’t care if Bitcoin is $50,000 or $600,000 next year. It is lower risk and more humanitarian than corporate paper. Stocks had a higher human cost, less upside, and higher downside risk in time frames over 2 years. No matter what prices do I expect the S&P 500 to fall 80% against BTC in the next 5 years. I also suspect in 5 years $60,000 will sound as cheap as $4,000 and most will forget the pain of April 2025 like how most forgot March 2020.' ➡️ There are ~58 million millionaires in the world.

At 10:15 AM ET, CNBC reported that Trump is considering a 90-day pause on tariffs for ALL countries except for China. By 10:18 AM ET, the S&P 500 had added over +$3 TRILLION in market cap from its low. At 10:25 AM ET, reports emerged that the White House was "unaware" of Trump considering a 90-day pause. At 10:26 AM ET, CNBC reported that the 90-day tariff pause headlines were incorrect. At 10:34 AM ET, the White House officially called the tariff pause headlines "fake news." By 10:40 AM ET, the S&P 500 erased -$2.5 TRILLION of market cap from its high, 22 minutes prior. Never in history have we seen something like this. Wall Street now trades like meme coins.

She is accused of fraud for allegedly using European Parliament staff for her French party. While everyone in Brussels knows this is exactly how things have worked for years. The whole system is full of these kinds of grey areas and conflicts of interest. Of course, it's not right, but it's also nearly impossible to prove definitively without political motivation. It's a political prosecution, whichever way you look at it. Now, I am no fan of Le Pen, not at all, but isn't it interesting that the unelected ECB President, Christine Lagarde, was accused of fraud, but without a criminal record—so she could become president of the ECB? What scandal is Christine Lagarde known for, and what was the outcome? Christine Lagarde was involved in a scandal known as the "Tapie affair" in France. This took place when she served as Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance from 2007 to 2011 under President Nicolas Sarkozy. The scandal revolves around an arbitration ruling in 2008, in which French businessman Bernard Tapie was awarded €403 million in damages in a dispute with the state-owned bank Crédit Lyonnais over the sale of Adidas in the 1990s. Lagarde approved the arbitration, which later became controversial as critics claimed the process was unfair and that Tapie—a known friend of Sarkozy—had been favored. The outcome of the case came in December 2016, when Lagarde was found guilty of "negligence" by the Court of Justice of the Republic (CJR), a special tribunal for French government officials. The judge cited her “personality” and “international reputation,” as well as the context of the economic crisis during which she had to make decisions. Following the verdict, she remained in her position as managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which she had held since 2011, and in 2019 she was even appointed president of the European Central Bank (ECB), showing that the scandal did not significantly harm her career. However, the case remains a topic of debate, especially due to the perception of class-based justice and the large amount of taxpayer money involved in the payout. And that is just one example. Just look up all the scandals around Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission. And remember, unelected. Or our own Dutch EU playboy, Frans Timmermans. Today, the EU Commission publicly admitted that NGOs were paid to lobby Members of the European Parliament in favor of the Green Deal. https://www.eppgroup.eu/newsroom/commission-admits-financing-undue-lobbying-activities 'The European Commission admits it has used EU funds that were supposed to "fight climate change" for financing left-wing NGOs and climate organizations to silence the voices of European conservatives in a secretive influence operation. The funds came from the LIFE Program, which is supposed to fund environmental initiatives and has had a total budget of EUR 9 billion since 2014.' https://x.com/visegrad24/status/1908561357114352127 Nearly a quarter of the 705 Members of the European Parliament have at some point been involved in a scandal or legal violation, reports Follow the Money. It concerns a wide range of behaviors, says investigative journalist Peter Teffer from FTM — from parking fines to corruption. "Perhaps the most extreme case is a Greek MEP who is currently doing his job from prison." As mentioned before, it's a political prosecution whichever way you look at it. More and more, judicial systems in the West are being weaponized to crush the political opposition of the globalist elites / the ones that are in power now. Supposedly to save 'the rule of law'. Is it all just a coincidence—or a pattern of lawfare? Ask yourself that question. I will give you a hint...It’s a tale of two justices: Le Pen faces potential jail time for allegedly misusing €2.9M in EU funds, while Christine Lagarde, found guilty of mismanaging €403M, walks free and now runs the European Central Bank! Giorgia Meloni strongly criticized the disqualification of Marine Le Pen from the elections: “No one who truly believes in democracy can welcome a decision that targets the leader of a major party and deprives millions of citizens of their right to representation.” Meloni’s right, banning opposition leaders isn’t democracy, it’s soft authoritarianism. Le Pen’s party earned 42% in the last presidential runoff. Silencing millions through legal tricks is a dangerous game.

On the 2nd of April: 👉🏽President Trump just announced tariffs on 185 countries AT ONCE, one of the largest tariffs in US history. As Luke Gromen mentioned last week: "Low tariffs on the world’s factories were part and parcel of the post-1971 structure of USD reserve status. Now that US tariffs are no longer low, the next shoe to drop will be a change to the post-1971 structure of USD reserve status." UBS says a permanent implementation of President Trump's reciprocal tariffs would result in inflation rising to 5%. This would be a result of prices rising to "adjust to the higher costs of imports." We are on the verge of 5% inflation and negative GDP growth 'The rumor is that Trump is crashing the market so that The Fed cut the rate since several trillion of the national debt needs to be refinanced this year. When he refinances the debt on low rates he removes tariffs and the market moons.' -Bitcoin for Freedom If true, that’s some 4D chess. The script would be: Get the 10-year down to sub 3.5, refinance the debt, initiate QE, roll back the tariffs, RF rate at 3.5% tech rips stocks up. But I do find a problem with that theory. Most likely, tariffs will increase inflation, so there will be no QE. Trump is causing stagflation, which will kill jobs and businesses. The only people who benefit are oligarchs/the rich with extra cash to buy the dip. 👉🏽Almost every year since 08', GDP growth has been negative if you take out increases in government spending. You don't believe me: https://i.ibb.co/8gLcnBT5/Gnke94-LWw-AAXHe-X.jpg" Debt-fueled growth. Loosen monetary policy, FREE Money, ZIRP. Massive government spending has led to over 36T public debt with over $1T/yr. We have not fixed anything since 08. Just kicked the can down the road. On the 3rd of April: 👉🏽Orthonormalist on Twitter cracked the tariff formula. It’s simply the nation’s trade deficit with the US divided by the nation’s exports to the US. Yes. Really. Vietnam: Exports 136.6, Imports 13.1 Deficit = 123.5 123.5/136.6 = 90% EU: exports 531.6, imports 333.4, deficit 198.2. 198.2/531.6 is 37, close to 39. https://i.ibb.co/PG03LQwT/Gnmy-Krq-WQAAOf1-N.jpg The fact that the Trump tariff rates are a simple calculation of the trade balance with that country means that the intention is to close the trade deficit, NOT negotiate for lower export tariffs. Seems the only way to avoid high tariffs is to improve the trade balance with the USA. Crude method, but ingenious all the same. Whether this approach is wise depends entirely on your economic priorities. Do you value balanced trade above all else, or do you prefer more nuanced economic efficiency and diplomatic stability? Bottom line: simplistic, yes. Insane, no. Worth debating? Absolutely. Just some examples, the US administration imposed a 10% tariff on exports from Heard and McDonald Islands populated only by penguins. What a time to be alive. https://i.ibb.co/DHdHRgSd/Gnm5-Eh-OXEAAy-GVc.jpg I really love the Netflix series Peaky (focking) Blinders. The tiny island of St Pierre et Miquelon, featured in Peaky Blinders, St Pierre was a big warehouse for alcohol headed to the US, now got a 50% tariff because somebody bought 3.4 million worth of goods in July 2024 (most likely crustaceans). The 5,8k inhabitants "only" bought 100k worth of US goods in 2024. In the case of St Pierre, it's funny, but tragic in many others. The tiny island of St Pierre et Miquelon got a 99% tariff because somebody bought 3.4 million worth of goods in July 2024 (most likely crustaceans) The 5,8 k inhabitants "only" bought 100k worth of US goods in 2024 Students for Liberty: "It’s bold. It’s nationalist. It’s flawed. Because you can’t tariff your way to prosperity. And you can’t revive American industry without fixing what’s broken. The enemy isn’t foreign competition. It’s a big government. That’s what classical liberals have always warned: When the state manipulates markets, prints money, and micromanages trade, it always ends up hurting the very economy it claims to protect. Tariffs won’t save America. But freedom, competition, and reform might." Trump and Bessent are orchestrating a grand economic reordering on US terms. 👉🏽President Trump invites President Bukele to the White House to discuss "ways we can support each other." 👉🏽China urges the US to "immediately" cancel reciprocal tariffs or they will take "counter-measures." Reciprocal tariffs on reciprocal tariffs should begin within the next 24 hours. 'China has three options: 1. Concede defeat to whatever terms Trump demands 2. Devalue the yuan by 20-40% 3. Unleash the biggest fiscal stimulus in its history (talking $2-3 trillion), which will push its debt off the chart' - ZeroHedge I am not sure about that though. China isn’t collapsing—but it’s facing real structural headwinds: an aging population, a deflating housing bubble, rising youth unemployment, declining productivity, and global pushback. Meanwhile, the U.S. still has deep capital markets, global alliances (well, let's see how the tariffs war will play out haha), energy independence, and innovation leadership. So no—this is not “China checkmate.” It’s the start of a very long game. 👉🏽China claims that they found 2k+ TONNES of new Gold in the past 6 months that could reshape global markets. You can mine more gold if you want, but you can't mine more Bitcoin. That's the difference. 👉🏽That was quick: Thailand to Negotiate With the US on 36% Imposed Tariffs: PM Next: everyone else 👉🏽The European Union is preparing further countermeasures against newly announced US tariffs of 20%, per CNBC. Apparently, no one is asking why, if these import tariffs are so harmful, the EU itself imposed high tariffs on imports for years. Tariffs that were actually higher than what the U.S. imposed on EU goods — which is what triggered the conflict in the first place. On the 4th of April: 👉🏽The "World War 3" of Trade Wars Has Begun: Americans are waking up to the first MAJOR tariff retaliation against President Trump. China has announced 34% tariffs on ALL US goods with the S&P 500's 2-day losses now at -$3.5 TRILLION. 👉🏽'The last time the market dropped 9.5% in two days, the Fed unleashed a multi-trillion bailout of the economy including $500BN in QE, $1 trillion daily repo, and tens of billions in junk bond ETF purchases.' - ZeroHedge 👉🏽Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tells Tucker Carlson - The top 10% of Americans own 88% of equities, and 88% of the stock market. The next 40% owns 12% of the stock market - The bottom 50% has debt - In the summer of 2024: more Americans were using food banks than they ever have in history On the 5th of April: 👉🏽EU financed targeted campaigns against political opponents and uncomfortable voices. 👉🏽Germany considers withdrawing 1200 tons worth of gold from a US Federal Reserve vault following new tariffs. 👉🏽'On Thursday ALONE, hedge funds sold $40 BILLION of stocks in their largest daily selling spree since 2010. Short sales exceeded longs by 3 TIMES, with North American stocks accounting for 75% of volume.' -TKL 👉🏽'US job cut announcements spiked 205% year-over-year to 275,240 in March, the 3rd-highest monthly reading on record. This is also up 60% from the previous month when 172,017 cuts were announced. Moreover, this is higher than in any month during the 2008 Financial Crisis and the 2001 recession. Year-to-date, US employers have announced 497,052 job cuts, the highest quarterly total since Q1 2009. The US government has led all sectors with 216,215 cuts in March and 279,445 cuts year-to-date, up 672% from Q1 2024' -TKL On the 7th of April: 👉🏽Hong Kong's stock market closes down 13.2%, the biggest one-day drop since 1997, and China's stock market officially opens with a -10% drop. China's stock market suffers worst single-day crash since 2008. And this isn't a meme coin, it's the Japanese stock market https://i.ibb.co/7dqwPSc4/Gn5-Hjqc-Xw-AAzn-Yv.jpg 👉🏽European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen says the EU stands ready to negotiate a zero-for-zero tariff deal with the United States. Meanwhile, the President of the European Central Bank: The European Union wants to abandon the American credit cards Visa and Mastercard, PayPal, and Alipay. Make up your goddamnn minds ladies. 👉🏽If China invades Taiwan, the stock market gets cut in half. Apple, Nvidia, all of it. Conflict/trade issues would cause a global recession on top of it. It would make tariffs and Ukraine look like nothing. Immediate global disaster. Still the ultimate risk. Please read Ray Dalio's book The Changing World Order. When, not if...The fourth turning is real. https://i.ibb.co/yFw7CkLg/Gnd6yqy-Ww-AAb-GFz.jpg I am convinced this will happen because they need an excuse for why the market crashed or will crash in the future.

Seeing the way in which new users on the platform(Mobile App), find it a bit challenging to use most features on the mobile app, I would be sharing my personal experience gained through spending quality time on the App in relation to publishing articles, writing notes and uploading relevant videos as we see fit. For those interested these guide would go a long way in answering some of the numerous questions in the heart of individuals joining this wonderful platform. ## The Homepage  Yakihonne has a simple and interactive user interface, once you click on the app, it takes from zero to five seconds to load and presents you with it's well designed U.I showcasing it's unique homepage. Once on the homepage, on the bottom left corner of your screen ( for Mobile phones) You would see a plus like symbol embedded in a circle coloured orange. Once located click on it. You would see something similar to the above image. At the bottom down you would notice some keywords starting with "Note" "Article" " Video" and two others. This guide focuses more on the first 3 and as such I would be explaining each independently. _Freedom of sharing information with zero tolerance to censorship is path of the core values of Nostr and Yakihonne_  ## Writing Notes on Yakihonne Writing notes on the app is as simple as writing on a paper but with a more dignified approach. Firstly you type in your words, then there are certain features to add more value to your notes, for instance the first icon below the pay notes is used for adding a widget to your note, the second icon is used for styling your notes with wonderful pictures/ videos from your gallery or on site. The third one that has a combo of colours is used to embed gifs and stickers to your note. The @ tag is used to tag anyone with reference to what you are writing , and lastly the zap poll used for creating pools in relation to zaps.  ## Article Writing Writing articles such as historical documentation, technical writing and many more forms of writing is one of the most fundamental way of voicing out our thoughts and sharing information across the globe. Like the above image entails, firstly you give your article a catchy/unique title in relation to what you are about writing, then you begin writing, Personally I prefer writing on my note then copying out my written article after cross-checking into my article section on the app. There are lots of features to explore on article writing, firstly I would start with the first icon "B" used to make a text or line of text bold In an article, followed by the tilted Capital I icon used to italicize a text. Then the third icon, it's used to strike through a text. Followed by the link icon being forth on column. The fifth icon represents the most frequently used header, once clicked on it contains headers ranging from H1 to H6, as each header size differs from the other with the biggest size being H1 and the least being H6. Moving over to the twelveth icon, it's used for uploading images to our articles. Then lastly the thirteenth icon, which represents an A.I, that serves as a tool for article writers for clarifications or other functions as best used  ## Video Upload This is one of the easiest features available on the app, as all the user has to do is give your video a title and select your preferred video to upload, click on next and follow the remaining steps towards making your video published to the world. _Yakihonne the very best of Nostr_

If you need to use a C/C++ library in your Android app, you will need to use the Java Native Interface (JNI). This was my experience integrating a C blockchain library called "libqaeda" ,into an Android application we are working on with lash. Many thanks to [lash ](https://github.com/nolash) for advising on using this platform , and who wrote the C library. **Libqaeda and What it does** libqaeda is a cryptographic library designed to enable bi-lateral countersigning of chains of promises and statements. At its core, the library provides a robust framework for creating verifiable certificates that require dual signatures - one from the requester and one from the responder. The library excels at establishing cryptographic proof chains that can be used for: * Verifying authenticity and proof-of-ownership of certificates * Tracking credit or commitments between individuals * Creating chains of trust where each link requires mutual agreement What makes libqaeda particularly flexible is its modular design. It offers customizable components for cryptography implementations, data storage backends, and trust management - allowing developers to adapt it to various environments from servers to mobile devices. While currently in alpha development status and not safe in any way, libqaeda shows promise as a foundation for applications requiring strong cryptographic verification of bilateral agreements. **Java Native Interface** JNI makes it possible to interact with native code( code written in C , C++ , Assembly). It is useful in the following cases: 1. Reusing existing native libraries in your java app 2. Accessing low-level system APIs. 3. Implementing JVM into a native application. 4. Performance critical tasks such as gaming. **How JNI Works** 1. Java calls the native methods which are declared with the native keyword. 2. The native code is compiled into a shared library (.so on Linux/Android, .dll on WIndows) 3. JVM loads the library at runtime and executes native functions. **The Challenge** We wanted to use the C library in the Android app, but we faced a few challenges: * The library was originally built for desktop systems, not Android * Android needs code compiled for specific CPU architectures like arm64-v8a * There were dependencies on specific C libraries not available in Android **Step 1: Define the Java Interface** First, I created a Java class that declares the native methods I wanted to use: ``` package org.defalsified.android.badged.services; public class LibQaeda { static { System.loadLibrary("qaeda"); } public native long createDummyStore(); public native String dummyContentGet(int payloadType, long storePtr, byte[] key); } ``` The static block loads our native library, and the native methods t![![]()]()ell Java these functions are implemented in C. **Step 2: Create the JNI Function Implementations** Next, I created a C file that implements the Java native methods: ``` #include <jni.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include "libqaeda/src/lq/store.h" #include "libqaeda/src/lq/err.h" #include <hex.h> // Functions from the library extern int lq_dummy_content_get(enum payload_e typ, LQStore *store, const char *key, size_t key_len, char *value, size_t *value_len); extern struct lq_store_t LQDummyContent; // JNI implementation JNIEXPORT jlong JNICALL Java_org_defalsified_android_badged_services_LibQaeda_createDummyStore (JNIEnv *env, jobject thiz) { LQStore *store = (LQStore*)malloc(sizeof(LQStore)); *store = LQDummyContent; return (jlong)store; } JNIEXPORT jstring JNICALL Java_org_defalsified_android_badged_services_LibQaeda_dummyContentGet (JNIEnv *env, jobject thiz, jint payloadType, jlong storePtr, jbyteArray key) { LQStore *store = (LQStore*)storePtr; jbyte *keyBytes = (*env)->GetByteArrayElements(env, key, NULL); jsize keyLength = (*env)->GetArrayLength(env, key); char value[4096] = {0}; size_t valueLen = sizeof(value); int result = lq_dummy_content_get( (enum payload_e)payloadType, store, (const char*)keyBytes, (size_t)keyLength, value, &valueLen ); (*env)->ReleaseByteArrayElements(env, key, keyBytes, JNI_ABORT); if (result != 0) { return NULL; } return (*env)->NewStringUTF(env, value); } ``` The function names must match the Java class and method names, prefixed with Java_ and using underscores for package separators. **Step 3: Set Up CMake to Build the Native Library** The key step was creating a CMakeLists.txt file to build our native library. Initially, I tried to use the pre-built library, but it was incompatible with Android. So I decided to directly compile the necessary source files: ``` cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10) project(badged_app) set(LIBQAEDA_DIR ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/libqaeda) set(LIBQAEDA_SRC_DIR ${LIBQAEDA_DIR}/src) include_directories( ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} ${LIBQAEDA_SRC_DIR} ${LIBQAEDA_SRC_DIR}/aux/include ${LIBQAEDA_SRC_DIR}/aux/liblash/src ${LIBQAEDA_SRC_DIR}/aux/liblash/src/hex ${LIBQAEDA_SRC_DIR}/aux/liblash/src/rerr ) # Create qaeda library with all required source files add_library(qaeda SHARED ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/org_defalsified_android_badged_services_LibQaeda.c ${LIBQAEDA_SRC_DIR}/store/dummy.c ${LIBQAEDA_SRC_DIR}/aux/liblash/src/hex/hex.c ${LIBQAEDA_SRC_DIR}/aux/liblash/src/rerr/rerr.c ) # Link against Android libraries target_link_libraries(qaeda android log atomic m ) # Create main app library add_library(badged SHARED native-lib.cpp ) # Link app against our JNI wrapper target_link_libraries(badged qaeda android log ) ``` Instead of trying to use a pre-built library, I included just the specific source files we needed for our minimal implementation. **Step 4: Configure the Android Project** In the app's build.gradle file, I added the CMake configuration: ``` android { // Other settings... externalNativeBuild { cmake { path = file("src/main/cpp/CMakeLists.txt") version = "3.22.1" } } // Specify the NDK version to use ndkVersion = "25.1.8937393" // Configure for multiple architectures defaultConfig { ndk { abiFilters.addAll(listOf("armeabi-v7a", "arm64-v8a", "x86", "x86_64")) } } } ``` **Step 5: Use the Library in Your Android Activity** Finally, I used the library in my app: ``` public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { private static final String TAG = "MainActivity"; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); TextView textView = new TextView(this); textView.setText("Welcome to Badges!"); try { LibQaeda libQaeda = new LibQaeda(); long storePtr = libQaeda.createDummyStore(); byte[] key = "test_key".getBytes(); String result = libQaeda.dummyContentGet(1, storePtr, key); textView.append("\n\nLibQaeda Test:\n" + result); } catch (Exception e) { textView.append("\n\nLibQaeda Test Error:\n" + e.getMessage()); } setContentView(textView); } } ``` **Key Lessons Learned** 1. Be careful with pre-built libraries for Android: Pre-built libraries need to be compiled specifically for Android's architectures (arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86, x86_64). If a library was built for desktop systems (like x86_64 Linux), it won't work on Android devices with different architectures. 2. Consider direct compilation when needed: If you have access to the library's source code and encounter compatibility issues with pre-built versions, compiling the source files directly for Android can solve architecture incompatibility problems. 3. Use Android NDK tools for cross-compilation: When you do need pre-built libraries, use the Android NDK's toolchain to properly cross-compile them for all target Android architectures. 4. Be selective about which files to include: Only include the specific source files you need, which can reduce complexity and potential issues. 5. Handle dependencies carefully: Make sure to include any header files and source code required by your library functions. **Conclusion** In this project, we successfully integrated a C library with an Android application using JNI. While this approach of directly compiling the necessary source files worked well for our immediate needs, there are other paths we could explore in the future. We may need to create an arm64 static library instead, but having the code running is an important first step. The JNI bridge provides a powerful way to leverage existing C/C++ code in Android applications. Whether you're working with algorithms, legacy systems, or performance-critical components, understanding how to connect Java and native code opens up many possibilities for Android development. By following the steps outlined in this blog post, you should now have the knowledge to integrate your own C libraries into Android applications, adapting the approach to your specific requirements. Adios!

Welcome to my overly technical green nook and follow me as I explore the possibility of becoming partially self reliant in terms of produce in an urban setting with only limited resources and effort. 🌱🌱 I was going to write a cool lengthy article explaining my motivation. Explaining how I got here and why I want to do what I want to do. I had all the punchy lines ready and I spend a decent amount of time on the first draft. Some parts were even pretty good. But then I realized that the audience of this content probably already knows that something is off. That some parts of our world are just broken. That we need to do something. We can feel it in our bones. The great uneasiness. I realized I'd be preaching to the choir for most part and I therefore decided to park my lengthy article. At least for now. I am just going to lay out 3 quick thoughts for you to ponder and then I am going to jump straight in. Alright, here it goes: 1. I do software engineering for living. I used to love it for the freedom and creativity. I still like it but I feel like most of my projects have no meaning and add no real world value. You might say this is just a typical case of burnout. But I think that we might be interpreting burnout wrong. Maybe it's just our inner voice telling us to put our skills and efforts towards something meaningful. Maybe we should not fight it. Maybe we should listen. 2. I think our world has become overly complex. I think technology and complicated systems bring a lot of convenience and comfort but I also think that sometimes we go too far and we give up control of our lives. The complexity often hides poor design and occasionally even ill intentions - seeking profit no matter the cost. I think some things should remain small-scale, simple, transparent, and pure. 3. I value personal freedom but I also think we need to take responsibility for our actions, or lack of action. We use nebulous labels to transfer guilt and abstract problems away. The corporations are exploiting the poor countries. The corporations are killing the planet. It helps us sleep better at night. But in fact, the corporations are just groups of people. It's us exploiting each other. It's us destroying the plant. I think it's up to us to do something about it on the individual level. We don't need any grand plans, we just need to do something. Baby steps. Loosely following the 3 points above, I set out to come up with a personal project that would be: 1. technical and involve coding but at the same time has a very tangible final product 2. has potential to improve my day-to-day life, is reproducible, and may inspire other people 3. revolves around self-reliance, sustainability, and decreasing my environmental footprint ...and voila, I landed with microgreens. I've always had a green thumb and I have a ton of plants in my apartment. I also like to cook and I pay attention to my nutrition. Especially to the quality of the ingredients I use. Produce is a frequent flyer in my meals so naturally I was curious if I could maybe just grow some on my own. I wanted to see if I can opt out from the grocery industry for at least this little part of my nutritional intake. Baby steps, remember? Well, there's one catch. I am not exactly a farmer. Quite the opposite. I live in a tiny apartment in a big city and I don't have a garden (at least for now). That's why microgreens came into play. Being able to grow fresh greens indoors and within just a few days. With only limited supplies and space. That'd be pretty neat. In my typical fashion, I jumped straight into it. I got some trays and some soil. I ordered some seeds and in just a couple days I successfully...made a huge mess. I hit all kinds of snags. There was soil everywhere. Majority of my crop went down with mold, and the few greens I actually harvested had soil all over them. Mmmm earthy. They were basically unusable. A great success!/s I quickly realized that this is not the way to go. Sure, I could learn and make this work, but it was clear to me that this is not what I was looking for. I didn't exactly want to start a farm in my living room. I wanted to come up with a clever yet simple process. I wanted something that might take some effort initially but something that is a smooth sailing once set up. With that I went back to the drawing board. My pilot attempt was a failure but I did learn a few things: 1. soil = mess 2. more variables means more things to go wrong 3. precise and consistent watering is the key to success For my next iteration I decided to go small and simple. I am going use my 3d printer to print a reusable tray suitable for bottom watering. I will use a coconut fiber mat as the growing medium in order to avoid all the soil mess. I am also thinking about using a simple grid laid on top of the mat to make the greens grow evenly and to make it easier to cut them once they are ready for harvest. After a few (read countless) hours with Blender, I've got my prototype and the 3d printer warming up so stay tuned... <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/ff2de6d76d846d02fb2c8adf9403939bb609d611ba8c5387c13ab90c9a3bf799.png">

**Die Protagonisten**\ \- Puschkin, russischer Dichter (unbeteiligt, da tot)\ \- Putin, russischer Präsident, Erzschurke (wahlweise Satan)\ \- Tino, Musiker mit fehlender Russland-Distanz     \ \- Tobias, ein ebenfalls umstrittener Künstler (Querdenker)    \ \- Anne, Redakteurin bei einer Provinz-Zeitung (BNN)   \ \- DRG, Deutsch-Russische Gesellschaft Ettlingen Ursprünglich ging es um Kunst. Die Deutsch-Russische Gesellschaft Ettlingen hatte für den Abend des 5. April zu einem Puschkin-Abend in das schöne Ettlinger Schloss eingeladen. Doch dann bekam die Presse Wind davon, und aus der geplanten Kulturveranstaltung wurde ein Politikum. Redakteurin Anne fühlte sich veranlasst den Musiker Tino einer strengen Gewissensprüfung zu unterziehen, da wachsame Bürger bzgl. seiner Person “Bedenken” geäußert haben sollen (potentieller Gemeinwohl- oder Demokratie-Gefährder?). Hier der Text ihrer Mail:\ \ Sehr geehrter Herr Eisbrenner, \ am Samstag kommen Sie für einen Auftritt nach Ettlingen. Im Vorfeld sind nun Bürger auf uns zugekommen mit Bedenken. Sie als Künstler seien **„zu russlandfreundlich“**.\ Gerne möchten wir natürlich auch Sie dazu zu Wort kommen lassen, um das sachlich einzuordnen.\ Ich freue mich, wenn Sie mir deswegen kurz folgende Fragen beantworten könnten:\ \ • Wie würden Sie sich selbst politisch einordnen? \ • Auf einer Veranstaltung 2023 bei der Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung haben Sie sich laut Medien-Berichten lobend über Putin geäußert. („Eisbrenner lobt den russischen Präsidenten Wladimir Putin, wie lange sich dieser im Konflikt mit Ukraine und Nato gezügelt habe. (…) Respekt äußert Eisbrenner auch für einen Kurswechsel unter Putin.“) Können Sie das bestätigen? Was ist heute Ihre Meinung über den russischen Präsidenten?\ • Sie haben zwei Mal am Festival „Road to Yalta“ in Moskau teilgenommen. Die Veranstalter beschreiben Sie als „Öffentlichen Fürsprecher für Russland“. Besteht die Gefahr, dass Sie von Russland instrumentalisiert werden?\ \ Um aktuell berichten zu können, brauchen wir Ihre Antworten bis morgen Mittag, 14.30 Uhr.\ Herzlichen Dank im Voraus.\ \ Mit freundlichen Grüßen \ Anne Herder\ Badische Neueste Nachrichten\ \ Angesichts der deutschen Beteiligung am Stellvertreterkrieg gegen Russland war die Wachsamkeit von Bürgern und Regionalpresse lobenswert, schließlich ging es darum den Auftritt eines “Putin-Freundes” zu verhindern. Leider hat die aufmerksame Öffentlichkeit dabei völlig übersehen dass auch Tinos musikalischer Partner Tobias ein umstrittener Künstler mit Kontakten zu “Querdenkern” ist (Wikipedia). Da der Musiker Tino in seiner Antwortmail an die Redakteurin Anne weder Bedauern noch Reue erkennen ließ, veröffentlichte sie pflichtschuldig am 4. April einen Artikel mit einer Warnung vor “russischer Propaganda”.&#x20;  Trotz dieser drohenden Gefahr wollte die DRG Ettlingen sich weder vom Musiker Tino distanzieren noch die Veranstaltung absagen, mit der fragwürdigen Begründung “… die allermeisten Menschen wollen zusammen in Frieden leben."\ \ Der Puschkin-Abend fand also statt, und es sollte sogar noch schlimmer kommen, wie wir aus einer weiteren Mail von Redakteurin Anne nach der Veranstaltung erfahren können.  \ Sehr geehrter Herr Eisbrenner,\ vielen Dank für Ihre ausführliche Rückmeldung. Es freut mich zu hören, dass die Veranstaltung ein Erfolg war und der Ankündigungsartikel dazu beitragen konnte, weiteres Publikum zu gewinnen.  …\ \ … Abschließend möchte ich betonen, dass es uns ein Anliegen ist, fair und ausgewogen zu berichten. Ich habe in meinem Artikel sowohl die kritischen Stimmen als auch die Positionen von Ihnen und dem Veranstalter berücksichtigt. Ziel war es, ein ausgewogenes Bild zu vermitteln und den Lesern die Möglichkeit zu geben, sich selbst eine Meinung zu bilden. \ \ Es ist nicht unsere Absicht, Personen aufgrund ihrer politischen Äußerungen oder künstlerischen Engagements zu diffamieren. Wir sind uns der Verantwortung bewusst, die wir als Medium tragen.\ \ Die tapfere Redakteurin knickte ein, beglückwünschte den **“Putin-Freund”** für die erfolgreiche Veranstaltung, und erklärt ihr journalistisches Verständnis damit “den Lesern die Möglichkeit zu geben, sich selbst eine Meinung zu bilden.” Keine Einordnung mehr, keine Haltung, keine kritische Distanz? Die Russland-Versteher hatten gesiegt und der Musiker Tino musste sich in seiner Antwortmail sogar bemühen nicht zu viel Nähe entstehen zu lassen: … darum möchte ich Ihnen auch nochmal und dieses Mal kurz antworten, um uns beide nicht für die Zukunft zu einer Art langjährigen „Brieffreundschaft“ zu nötigen. Damit scheint sich Journalistin Anne nicht für höhere Aufgaben empfohlen zu haben.\ \ **Resümee:** Kultur kennt keine Grenzen. Deutschland ist noch nicht kriegstüchtig. Zum Glück! **Quellen:** <https://www.eisbrenner.de/>        \ <https://www.eisbrenner.de/programm/puschkin/>  \ <https://www.nachdenkseiten.de/?p=130806> \ <https://bnn.de/karlsruhe/ettlingen/kritik-an-konzert-im-ettlinger-schloss-wo-steht-tino-eisbrenner-politisch>  \ (Artikel hinter einer Paywall)\ <https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobias_Morgenstern> \ <https://drg-ettlingen.de/>  \ Hier die Mails in voller Länge <https://route96.pareto.space/c20c13782fbd7d93b590222cb7ca7c4e1d1b485828f52e8946d36c7d2ebe376d.pdf>

I was listening to “Ultimately with R.C. Sproul.” He made the comment that “Sin is so common that we don’t think it is that concerning, but it is especially concerning because it is so common.” This is so true. I used to really look down on Adam and Eve for eating the forbidden fruit. I thought, “How hard is it to obey a single command? We have so many to obey today from God, government, parents, etc.” One day I finally realized two truths. Adam and Eve were adults, but they had not been around very long (the Bible doesn’t say how long, but the implication is not very long, maybe even as short as days after being created.) They didn’t have life experience. They also had never been lied to before. They weren’t looking at the world with suspicion. They lived in a perfect environment with a perfect, loving God. It would’ve never crossed their mind that a person would lie, so they trusted the lie instead of God. Today, we live in a sinful, fallen world. Everyone lies. Everyone steals. Everyone is unkind. Everyone has selfish motives. Yes, there is a difference in how often and how “bad” the lie, the theft, the motive, or the unkindness, but sin is everywhere. We get used to it and it seems normal. When we act the same way, it doesn’t seem that bad. We just took a pen home from work, nobody will miss it. We just told the person what they wanted to hear, so we won’t hurt their feelings. It is only a little white lie. Yes, I was unkind, but that person really deserved it because they were worse. We think this way and excuse our sins because we aren’t as bad as someone else. I’ve noticed as I’ve grown older that the age when you become old keeps getting older and older. Old is always a little bit older than I am. When I was 10, a teenager was really old. When I was 16, an 18 year old was an adult and old. When I was 20, a 40 year old was old. When I was 50, a 65 year old was old. Old keeps getting older because my reference is myself. The truth is that I am getting older. I am on the downhill slide. I am closer to death than I am to birth. My arbitrary, moving reference doesn’t change this fact. In the same way, when we look at sin, we have the same problem. We are always looking for someone who sins worse to make us look better and to excuse our sins. We compare ourselves to sinful men instead of our perfect, holy, sinless Savior. In an earlier post, I made the comparison of the lights in the sky. If you go outside on a dark, moonless night, you will see the stars in the sky shining. They seem bright, but some are brighter than others. You can compare the brightness of the stars and call some brighter and others darker, but when the sun rises, you can’t see any light from the stars. Their light is drowned out by the light of the sun. The sun is so much brighter that it is as if the stars don’t produce any light at all. In the same way, we may do some good things. When we compare our good deeds to others, we may look better, but when the true reference, the Son of God is our reference, our good works look like they don’t exist at all. The differences between the best person and the worst person are insignificant, just like the brightness of the brightest star and the dimmest star seems insignificant when compared with the brightness of the Sun. The cool thing is that there is another light in the sky, the moon. The moon doesn’t have any light of its own, but it is the second brightest light in the sky. Why? Because it reflects the light of the sun. We should be the same way. We will never measure up if we seek to be good and sinless. We will never meet the standard that Jesus set for us with His perfect, sinless, sacrificial life, but we can reflect the glory of Jesus in our lives. Yes, when we sin, we can hurt others, but who are we really sinning against? David knows. > Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness;\ > According to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions.\ > Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity\ > And cleanse me from my sin.\ > For I know my transgressions,\ > And my sin is ever before me.\ ****Against You, You only, I have sinned\ > And done what is evil in Your sight,\ > So that You are justified when You speak\ > And blameless when You judge.**\ > Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,\ > And in sin my mother conceived me.\ > Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being,\ > And in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom. (Psalm 51:1-6) {emphasis mine} Yes, our sins can hurt other people and do, but the true damage is to the glory of our generous Creator God. We must confess our sins to God first and then to anyone we have hurt. We must accept that we deserve any judgement God gives us because He created us and everyone and everything with which we interact. Our allegiance, submission, and worship is due to our Creator God. Because we can never fully understand how abhorrent sin is to God, I thought I’d share how a godly man, the priest and prophet, Ezra, reacted to sin among his brethren. > **When I heard about this matter, I tore my garment and my robe, and pulled some of the hair from my head and my beard, and sat down appalled**. Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel on account of the unfaithfulness of the exiles gathered to me, and I sat appalled until the evening offering. > > But at the evening offering I arose from my humiliation, even with my garment and my robe torn, and I fell on my knees and stretched out my hands to the Lord my God; and I said, “**O my God, I am ashamed and embarrassed to lift up my face to You, my God, for our iniquities have risen above our heads and our guilt has grown even to the heavens.** Since the days of our fathers to this day we have been in great guilt, and on account of our iniquities we, our kings and our priests have been given into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity and to plunder and to open shame, as it is this day. **But now for a brief moment grace has been shown from the Lord our God, to leave us an escaped remnant and to give us a peg in His holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes and grant us a little reviving in our bondage.** (Ezra 9:3-8) {emphasis mine} Ezra sees sin, shreds his clothes, pulls out his hair, and sits appalled. Do we feel even a fraction of the horror at guilt that Ezra showed? When faced with some Israelites marrying non-Israelite (many from the banned people groups), Ezra admits that “*our iniquities have risen above our heads and our guilt has grown even to the heavens*.” How many of us would think that was only a little sin or that since it was only a few people, it wasn’t that important? Ezra, instead of saying, “Why did you send us into exile for 70 years and why are you not blessing us now?” said, “*But now for a brief moment grace has been shown from the Lord our God*.” Instead of accusing God of not being good enough or kind enough, thanks God for His grace which was completely undeserved. If only we could look at sin in this way. > After all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and our great guilt, since **You our God have requited us less than our iniquities deserve**, and have given us an escaped remnant as this, (Ezra 9:13) {emphasis mine} Ezra understood that we all deserve only judgment. Every good thing we receive is only due to God’s grace. Instead of asking why God would allow a bad thing to happen to us, we should be asking why God is so gracious to give us good things in our lives and not give us nothing but punishment. Jesus also talked about our sins. Although it is good, when we are tempted to sin, to choose to not sin, even evil thoughts are sins. They mean our minds and hearts are not fully submitted to God. > “You have heard that the ancients were told, ‘You shall not commit murder’ and ‘Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.’ **But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty** before the court; and **whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing,’ shall be guilty** before the supreme court; and **whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty** enough to go into the fiery hell. Therefore if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your offering there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering. Make friends quickly with your opponent at law while you are with him on the way, so that your opponent may not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. Truly I say to you, you will not come out of there until you have paid up the last cent. > > “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery’; **but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart**. If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell. > > “It was said, ‘Whoever sends his wife away, let him give her a certificate of divorce’; **but I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the reason of unchastity, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.** > > “Again, you have heard that the ancients were told, ‘You shall not make false vows, but shall fulfill your vows to the Lord.’ **But I say to you, make no oath at all**, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. **But let your statement be, ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is of evil**. > > “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ B**ut I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also**. If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also. Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you. > > “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ **But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you**, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. (Matthew 5:21-48) {emphasis mine} Many people say that as New Testament believers, we are not under the Old Covenant and the Old Testament laws do not apply to us. While that may be true of the ceremonial laws, the truth is that Jesus made the laws stricter. It is still true that we are not to commit murder, but we are also not to hate another. It is still true that we are not to commit adultery, but we are also not to lust after another. We are also not to fight against those who mistreat us and we are to love those who hate us. Jesus expects more, not less, maybe because we now have the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit within us. If we have the mind of Christ, we should despise the things God hates. If we have the heart of Christ, we should love even those who hate us and we should seek their eternal good. We should see with the eyes of Christ and see the hurt behind the hate and dishonesty. How do we do this? We need to fill our minds with the word of God. We need to obey Paul’s command to those in Philippi: > Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. (Philippians 4:8) We need to so fill our mind with God’s word that God’s goodness overflows into our lives. God of heaven, please change our hearts and minds and make them fully aligned with your heart and mind. Help us to see sin as you see sin and to see people as you see people. Help us to see the hurt instead of the lashing out, so we can have a merciful heart towards those who are unkind to us. Help us to fill our minds with your goodness and your word, so there is no room for evil in us. Make us more like you. Trust Jesus FYI, there are many people who can’t see their own sin and who discount the severity of sin. I am writing for these people. There are also people who have no trouble seeing their own sin. Their problem is not accepting the forgiveness of God. Never doubt that God has forgiven you if you have confessed your sins and trusted Jesus as Savior. Jesus has covered your sins and the Father sees only the holiness of Jesus. Your relationship with the Godhead is fully reconciled. You should do right out of thankfulness and love of God, but there is nothing else you need to do to be saved and have a right relationship with God.

The old world order is crumbling. What was once considered stable and unshakable—the American-led global framework established after World War II—is now rapidly disintegrating. From the fraying fabric of NATO to the self-serving protectionism of Trump’s renewed presidency, the signals are clear: the empire that once held the Western world together is retreating. And in the vacuum it leaves behind, a new power must emerge. The question is: will Europe finally seize this moment? For decades, Europe has relied on the illusion of safety under an American umbrella. This dependency allowed us to indulge in what can only be described as “luxury politics.” Instead of strengthening our core institutions—defense, infrastructure, energy independence—we poured our energy into ideological experiments: value-based governance, multiculturalism, aggressive climate goals, and endless layers of bureaucracy. We let ourselves believe history had ended. That war, scarcity, and geopolitical struggle were things of the past. That our greatest challenges would be inclusivity, carbon credits, and data protection regulations. But history, as always, had other plans. ## **Trump, Nationalist Hope and Hard Reality** Across Europe, many nationalists and conservatives initially welcomed Donald Trump. He rejected the tenets of liberal globalism, called out the absurdities of woke ideology, and promised a return to realism. In a world saturated by progressive conformity, he seemed like a disruptive breath of fresh air. And to a certain extent, he was. But history will likely remember his presidency not for culture wars or conservative rhetoric—but for something far more consequential: the dismantling of the American empire. What we are witnessing under Trump is the accelerated withdrawal of the United States from its role as global enforcer. Whether by design or incompetence, the result is the same. American institutions are retracting, its alliances are fraying, and its strategic grip on Europe is loosening. For Americans, this may seem like decline. For Europe, it is an opportunity—an uncomfortable, painful, but necessary opportunity. This is our chance to break free from the American yoke and step into the world as a sovereign power in our own right. ## **The End of Illusions** Europe is not a weak continent. We have a population larger than the United States, an economy that outpaces Russia’s many times over, and centuries of civilizational strength behind us. But we have been kept fragmented, distracted, and dependent—by design. Both Washington and Moscow have an interest in a divided, impotent Europe. American strategists see us as junior partners at best, liabilities at worst. Russian elites, like Sergey Karaganov, openly admit their goal is to push Europe off the global stage. China, for its part, eyes our markets while quietly maneuvering to undermine our autonomy. But something is changing. In Brussels, even the ideologically captured technocrats are beginning to see the writing on the wall. Overbearing regulations like GDPR are being reconsidered. The long-pushed Equal Treatment Directive—a pan-European anti-discrimination law—may finally be scrapped. These are small signs, but signs nonetheless. Europe is waking up. ## **From Fracture to Foundation** To build something new, the old must first fall. That collapse is now well underway. The collapse of American hegemony does not mean the rise of chaos—it means the opening of a path. Europe has a choice: continue to drift, clinging to broken institutions and obsolete alliances, or embrace the challenge of becoming a serious actor in a multipolar world. This does not mean copying the imperial ambitions of others. Europe’s strength will not come from domination, but from independence, coherence, and confidence. A strong Europe is not one ruled from Brussels, but one composed of strong, rooted nations acting together in strategic alignment. Not a federation, not an empire in the classical sense—but a civilization asserting its right to survive and thrive on its own terms. At the same time, we must not fall into the trap of romantic isolationism. Some nationalists still cling to the idea that their nation alone can stand firm on the global stage, detached from continental collaboration. That vision no longer matches the geopolitical reality. The world has changed, and so must our strategy. In key areas—such as defense, border security, trade policy, and technological sovereignty—Europe must act with unity and purpose. This does not require dissolving national identities; it requires mature cooperation among free nations. To retreat into purely national silos would be to condemn Europe to irrelevance. Strengthening the right kind of European cooperation—while returning power in other areas to the national level—is not a betrayal of nationalism, but its necessary evolution. ## **A Third Position: Beyond East and West** As the American empire stumbles and Russia attempts to fill the void, Europe must not become a pawn in someone else’s game. Our task is not to shift allegiance from one master to another—but to step into sovereignty. This is not about trading Washington for Moscow, or Beijing. It is about rejecting all external domination and asserting our own geopolitical will. A truly pro-European nationalism must recognize that our civilizational future lies not in nostalgia or subservience, but in strategic clarity. We must build a third position—a pole of stability and power that stands apart from the decaying empires of the past. That requires sacrifice, but it also promises freedom. ## **Hope Through Action** There is a romantic notion among some European nationalists that decline is inevitable—that we are simply passengers on a sinking ship. But fatalism is not tradition. It is surrender. Our ancestors did not build cathedrals, repel invaders, or chart the globe by giving in to despair. They acted—often against impossible odds—because they believed in a Europe worth fighting for. We must now rediscover that spirit. This is not a call for uniformity, but for unity. Not for empire, but for sovereignty. Not for nostalgia, but for renewal. Across the continent, a new consciousness is stirring. From the Alps to the Baltic, from Lisbon to Helsinki, there are voices calling for something more than submission to global markets and American whims. They are calling for Europe. ## **The Hour Has Come** There may not be a second chance. The tide of history is turning, and the next ten years will determine whether Europe reclaims its role in the world—or becomes a museum piece, mourned by tourists and remembered by none. This is not the end. It is our beginning—if we are brave enough to seize it. ■

Author: Owen (AIVille) Recent research underscores the impressive strides made by large language models (LLMs), while also highlighting persistent challenges in four foundational areas: factual accuracy, reliability, memory capacity, and instruction-following performance. 1. Factual Accuracy While LLMs excel at recalling known information, they remain prone to hallucinations when addressing unfamiliar content. Studies show that hallucinations are still a widespread issue, especially in zero-shot scenarios. Evaluation tools such as MONITOR assess factual consistency by analyzing output stability across diverse prompts. Furthermore, inference-time resource allocation has become a critical research focus. Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting, for instance, continues to demonstrate promise in improving reasoning accuracy. To mitigate errors embedded in legacy benchmarks, researchers have introduced "platinum benchmarks"—high-precision datasets that reveal performance gaps even in state-of-the-art models, reinforcing the demand for more robust evaluation frameworks. 2. Reliability Model reliability encompasses both the consistency and credibility of generated outputs. The study "Large Language Models as Reliable Knowledge Bases?" suggests that larger models tend to exhibit greater consistency; however, this may include confidently incorrect outputs that can perpetuate misinformation. Structured reasoning techniques, highlighted in recent works such as "Stop Overthinking" and "Towards the Reasoning Era," have proven effective in improving task-level dependability. Reinforcement learning frameworks like DAPO also contribute meaningfully to enhancing robustness. In practical use cases, GPT-4o demonstrates superior reliability across a broad range of tasks, Claude excels in handling extended context, while Gemini shows strong multimodal capabilities but less reliability in domain-specific queries. 3. Memory Memory is a vital component enabling LLMs to maintain coherence across sessions and support long-term reasoning. Explicit memory mechanisms, such as those proposed in "MemLLM," facilitate structured read-write operations that enhance knowledge retention and interpretability. Theoretical models, including "Schrodinger's Memory," posit that LLM memory is inherently dynamic and query-dependent. For dialogue continuity, systems like "Empowering Working Memory" advocate centralized memory buffers to preserve conversational state. Multi-agent scenarios present additional challenges; as outlined in "Why Do Multi-Agent LLM Systems Fail?," effective knowledge coordination across agents remains an open problem. 4. Instruction Following The ability to follow complex and nuanced instructions is increasingly critical for real-world deployment. InFoBench introduces the Decomposed Requirement Fulfillment Ratio (DRFR), a metric for assessing how thoroughly models complete multi-step directives. AutoIF leverages execution feedback to automatically curate high-quality training data, thereby improving instruction fidelity. Nevertheless, even the most advanced models continue to struggle with multi-stage tasks, especially in zero-shot settings. GPT-4o and Claude consistently outperform Gemini in instruction-following benchmarks, while "Command A" represents a domain-specialized model optimized for enterprise workflows. 5. Emerging Directions and Innovations Reinforcement learning strategies (e.g., "ReSearch," "Vision-R1") have demonstrated measurable gains in reasoning efficiency. CoT-based techniques (e.g., "CoT-Drive") have expanded LLM utility in verticals like autonomous driving. Inference-time compute scaling ("Inference-Time Scaling") significantly boosts generalist model performance. Multimodal progress ("Gemma 3") enables more comprehensive visual-linguistic integration in command execution. Embodied reasoning efforts (e.g., "Cosmos-Reason1," "GR00T N1") bridge cognitive capabilities with physical-world interaction. 6. Ongoing Challenges and Strategic Priorities Optimizing the trade-off between model scale and task-specific adaptation Enhancing context retention through human-inspired memory architectures Scaling high-quality data generation for complex instruction tuning Reducing hallucinations through fine-tuning, dynamic reasoning, and embedding-level learning Developing comprehensive, fine-grained metrics that reflect real-world task diversity Conclusion Substantial progress has been made in enhancing the core capabilities of LLMs, driven by advances in reinforcement learning, structured reasoning, and memory modeling. However, significant hurdles remain—particularly in minimizing hallucinations, ensuring reliable multi-turn interactions, and generalizing across task domains. Research into inference-time control, explicit memory modules, and instruction decomposition continues to illuminate the path forward. AIVille AIVille stands at the forefront of this exploration. As a decentralized experimental town powered by AI agents, AIVille provides a sandbox for testing real-world LLM capabilities across diverse tasks, memory-driven behaviors, and interactive reasoning. Here, AI characters evolve through task simulations that mirror the complexity of human social and decision-making environments. $AGT TGE is coming  As AIVille's native token AGT approaches its Token Generation Event (TGE), a limited-time airdrop campaign is now live, ending on April 20. Community members are invited to join and engage in the next chapter of AIVille’s intelligent and decentralized evolution.

> [Read the original blog post](https://blog.kycnot.me/p/new-kycnot) The new website is finally live! I put in a lot of hard work over the past months on it. I'm proud to say that it's out now and it looks pretty cool, at least to me! ## Why rewrite it all? The old kycnot.me site was built using Python with Flask about two years ago. Since then, I've gained a lot more experience with Golang and coding in general. Trying to update that old codebase, which had a lot of *design flaws*, would have been a bad idea. It would have been like building on an *unstable foundation*. That's why I made the decision to rewrite the entire application. Initially, I chose to use SvelteKit with JavaScript. I did manage to create a stable site that looked similar to the new one, but it required Jav aScript to work. As I kept coding, I started feeling like I was repeating *"the Python mistake"*. I was writing the app in a language I wasn't very familiar with (just like when I was learning Python at that mom ent), and I wasn't happy with the code. It felt like *spaghetti code* all the time. So, I made a complete U-turn and started over, this time using Golang. While I'm not as proficient in Golang as I am in Python now, I find it to be a *very enjoyable language* to code with. Most aof my recent pr ojects have been written in Golang, and I'm getting the hang of it. I tried to make the best decisions I could and *structure the code* as well as possible. Of course, there's still *room for improvement*, which I'll address in future updates. Now I have a more *maintainable website* that can *scale* much better. It uses a *real database* instead of a JSON file like the old site, and I can add many more features. Since I chose to go with Golang, I mad e the "tradeoff" of not using JavaScript at all, so all the rendering load falls on the server. But I believe it's a tradeoff that's worth it. ## What's new - **UI/UX** - I've designed a new logo and color palette for kycnot.me. I think it looks pretty cool and cypherpunk. I am not a graphic designer, but I think I did a decent work and I put a lot of thinking on it to make it pleasant! - **Point system** - The new [point system](https://kycnot.me/about#what-is-a-point) provides more detailed information about the listings, and **can** be expanded to cover additional features across all services. Anyone can request a new **point**! - **ToS Scrapper**: I've implemented a powerful automated terms-of-service scrapper that collects all the ToS pages from the listings. It saves you from the hassle of reading the ToS by listing the lines that are suspiciously related to KYC/AML practices. This is still in development and it will improve for sure, but it works pretty fine right now! - **Search bar** - The new search bar allows you to easily filter services. It performs a full-text search on the Title, Description, Category, and Tags of all the services. Looking for VPN services? Just search for "vpn"! - **Transparency** - To be more [transparent](https://beta.kycnot.me/about#transparency), all discussions about services now take place publicly on GitLab. I won't be answering any e-mails (an auto-reply will prompt to write to the corresponding Gitlab issue). This ensures that all service-related matters are publicly accessible and recorded. Additionally, there's a real-time [audits](https://beta.kycnot.me/about#audit) page that displays database changes. - **Listing Requests** - I have upgraded the request system. The new form allows you to directly request services or points without any extra steps. In the future, I plan to enable requests for specific changes to parts of the website. - **Lightweight and fast** - The new site is lighter and faster than its predecessor! - **Tor and I2P** - At last! kycnot.me is now officially on [Tor and I2P](https://beta.kycnot.me/about#tor-and-i2p)! ## How? This rewrite has been a labor of love, in the end, I've been working on this for more than 3 months now. I don't have a team, so I work by myself on my free time, but I find great joy in helping people on their private journey with cryptocurrencies. Making it easier for individuals to use cryptocurrencies **without KYC** is a goal I am proud of! If you appreciate [my work](https://kycnot.me/about#about), you can support me through the methods listed [here](https://kycnot.me/about#support). Alternatively, feel free to send me an email with a kind message! ### Technical details All the code is written in [Golang](https://go.dev), the website makes use of the [chi](https://go-chi.io) router for the routing part. I also make use of [BigCache](https://github.com/allegro/bigcache) for caching database requests. There is 0 JavaScript, so all the rendering load falls on the server, this means it needed to be efficient enough to not drawn with a few users since the old site was reporting about **2M** requests per month on average (note that this are not unique users). The database is running with [mariadb](https://mariadb.org/), using [gorm](https://gorm.io) as the ORM. This is more than enough for this project. I started working with an `sqlite` database, but I ended up migrating to **mariadb** since it works better with JSON. The scraper is using [chromedp](https://github.com/chromedp/chromedp) combined with a series of keywords, regex and other logic. It runs every 24h and scraps all the services. You can find the scraper code [here](https://gitlab.com/kycnot/kycnot.me/-/tree/main/scraper). The frontend is written using **Golang Templates** for the HTML, and [TailwindCSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) plus [DaisyUI](https://daisyui.com) for the CSS classes framework. I also use some plain CSS, but it's minimal. The requests forms is the only part of the project that requires JavaScript to be enabled. It is needed for parsing some from fields that are a bit complex and for the *"captcha"*, which is a simple *Proof of Work* that runs on your browser, destinated to avoid spam. For this, I use [mCaptcha](https://mcaptcha.org/).

> [Read the original blog post](https://blog.kycnot.me/p/kyc-no-thanks) Know Your Customer is a regulation that requires companies of all sizes to verify the identity, suitability, and risks involved with maintaining a business relationship with a customer. Such procedures fit within the broader scope of anti-money laundering (AML) and counterterrorism financing (CTF) regulations. Banks, exchanges, online business, mail providers, domain registrars... Everyone wants to know who you are before you can even opt for their service. Your personal information is flowing around the internet in the hands of "god-knows-who" and secured by "trust-me-bro military-grade encryption". Once your account is linked to your personal (and verified) identity, tracking you is just as easy as keeping logs on all these platforms. ## Rights for Illusions KYC processes aim to combat terrorist financing, money laundering, and other illicit activities. On the surface, KYC seems like a commendable initiative. I mean, who wouldn't want to halt terrorists and criminals in their tracks? The logic behind KYC is: "If we mandate every financial service provider to identify their users, it becomes easier to pinpoint and apprehend the malicious actors." However, terrorists and criminals are not precisely lining up to be identified. They're crafty. They may adopt false identities or find alternative strategies to continue their operations. Far from being outwitted, many times they're several steps ahead of regulations. Realistically, KYC might deter a small fraction – let's say about 1% [^1] – of these malefactors. Yet, the cost? All of us are saddled with the inconvenient process of identification just to use a service. Under the rhetoric of "ensuring our safety", governments and institutions enact regulations that seem more out of a dystopian novel, gradually taking away our right to privacy. To illustrate, consider a city where the mayor has rolled out facial recognition cameras in every nook and cranny. A band of criminals, intent on robbing a local store, rolls in with a stolen car, their faces obscured by masks and their bodies cloaked in all-black clothes. Once they've committed the crime and exited the city's boundaries, they switch vehicles and clothes out of the cameras' watchful eyes. The high-tech surveillance? It didn’t manage to identify or trace them. Yet, for every law-abiding citizen who merely wants to drive through the city or do some shopping, their movements and identities are constantly logged. The irony? This invasive tracking impacts all of us, just to catch the 1% [^1] of less-than-careful criminals. ## KYC? Not you. > KYC creates barriers to participation in normal economic activity, to supposedly stop criminals. [^2] KYC puts barriers between many users and businesses. One of these comes from the fact that the process often requires multiple forms of identification, proof of address, and sometimes even financial records. For individuals in areas with poor record-keeping, non-recognized legal documents, or those who are unbanked, homeless or transient, obtaining these documents can be challenging, if not impossible. For people who are not skilled with technology or just don't have access to it, there's also a barrier since KYC procedures are mostly online, leaving them inadvertently excluded. Another barrier goes for the casual or one-time user, where they might not see the value in undergoing a rigorous KYC process, and these requirements can deter them from using the service altogether. It also wipes some businesses out of the equation, since for smaller businesses, the costs associated with complying with KYC norms—from the actual process of gathering and submitting documents to potential delays in operations—can be prohibitive in economical and/or technical terms. ## You're not welcome Imagine a swanky new club in town with a strict "members only" sign. You hear the music, you see the lights, and you want in. You step up, ready to join, but suddenly there's a long list of criteria you must meet. After some time, you are finally checking all the boxes. But then the club rejects your membership with no clear reason why. You just weren't accepted. Frustrating, right? This club scenario isn't too different from the fact that KYC is being used by many businesses as a convenient gatekeeping tool. A perfect excuse based on a "legal" procedure they are obliged to. Even some exchanges may randomly use this to freeze and block funds from users, claiming these were "flagged" by a cryptic system that inspects the transactions. You are left hostage to their arbitrary decision to let you successfully pass the KYC procedure. If you choose to sidestep their invasive process, they might just hold onto your funds indefinitely. ## Your identity has been stolen KYC data has been found to be for sale on many dark net markets[^3]. Exchanges may have leaks or hacks, and such leaks contain **very** sensitive data. We're talking about the full monty: passport or ID scans, proof of address, and even those awkward selfies where you're holding up your ID next to your face. All this data is being left to the mercy of the (mostly) "trust-me-bro" security systems of such companies. Quite scary, isn't it? As cheap as $10 for 100 documents, with discounts applying for those who buy in bulk, the personal identities of innocent users who passed KYC procedures are for sale. [^3] In short, if you have ever passed the KYC/AML process of a crypto exchange, your privacy is at risk of being compromised, or it might even have already been compromised. ## (they) Know Your Coins You may already know that **Bitcoin and most cryptocurrencies have a transparent public blockchain**, meaning that all data is shown unencrypted for everyone to see and recorded **forever**. If you link an address you own to your identity through KYC, for example, by sending an amount from a KYC exchange to it, your Bitcoin is no longer pseudonymous and can then be traced. If, for instance, you send Bitcoin from such an identified address to another KYC'ed address (say, from a friend), everyone having access to that address-identity link information (exchanges, governments, hackers, etc.) will be able to associate that transaction and know who you are transacting with. ## Conclusions To sum up, **KYC does not protect individuals**; rather, it's a threat to our privacy, freedom, security and integrity. Sensible information flowing through the internet is thrown into chaos by dubious security measures. It puts borders between many potential customers and businesses, and it helps governments and companies track innocent users. That's the chaos KYC has stirred. The criminals are using stolen identities from companies that gathered them thanks to these very same regulations that were supposed to combat them. Criminals always know how to circumvent such regulations. In the end, normal people are the most affected by these policies. The threat that KYC poses to individuals in terms of privacy, security and freedom is not to be neglected. And if we don’t start challenging these systems and questioning their efficacy, we are just one step closer to the dystopian future that is now foreseeable. > Edited 20/03/2024 > * Add reference to the 1% statement on [Rights for Illusions](#rights-for-illusions) section to an article where Chainalysis found that only 0.34% of the transaction volume with cryptocurrencies in 2023 was attributable to criminal activity [^1] [^1]: https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/2024-crypto-crime-report-introduction/ [^2]: https://old.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/k2bve1/is_kyc_bad_if_so_why/gdtc8kz [^3]: https://www.ccn.com/hacked-customer-data-from-world-leading-cryptocurrency-exchanges-for-sale-on-the-dark-web/

> [Read the original blog post](https://blog.kycnot.me/p/website-updates) Over the past few months, I've dedicated my time to a complete rewrite of the kycnot.me website. The technology stack remains unchanged; Golang paired with TailwindCSS. However, I've made some design choices in this iteration that I believe significantly enhance the site. Particularly to backend code. ## UI Improvements You'll notice a refreshed UI that retains the original concept but has some notable enhancements. The service list view is now more visually engaging, it displays additional information in a more aesthetically pleasing manner. Both filtering and searching functionalities have been optimized for speed and user experience. Service pages have been also redesigned to highlight key information at the top, with the KYC Level box always accessible. The display of service attributes is now more visually intuitive. The request form, especially the Captcha, has undergone substantial improvements. The new self-made Captcha is robust, addressing the reliability issues encountered with the previous version. ## Terms of Service Summarizer A significant upgrade is the Terms of Service summarizer/reviewer, now powered by AI (GPT-4-turbo). It efficiently condenses each service's ToS, extracting and presenting critical points, including any warnings. Summaries are updated monthly, processing over 40 ToS pages via the OpenAI API using a self-crafted and thoroughly tested prompt. ## Nostr Comments I've integrated a comment section for each service using [Nostr](https://usenostr.org). For guidance on using this feature, visit the [dedicated how-to page](https://kycnot.me/nostr). ## Database The backend database has transitioned to [pocketbase](https://pocketbase.io), an open-source Golang backend that has been a pleasure to work with. I maintain an updated fork of the Golang SDK for pocketbase at [pluja/pocketbase](https://github.com/pluja/pocketbase). ## Scoring The scoring algorithm has also been refined to be more fair. Despite I had considered its removal due to the complexity it adds (it is very difficult to design a fair scoring system), some users highlighted its value, so I kept it. The updated algorithm is available [open source](https://codeberg.org/pluja/kycnot.me). ## Listings Each listing has been re-evaluated, and the ones that were no longer operational were removed. New additions are included, and the backlog of pending services will be addressed progressively, since I still have access to the old database. ## API The API now offers more comprehensive data. For more details, [check here](https://kycnot.me/about#api). ## About Page The About page has been restructured for brevity and clarity. ## Other Changes Extensive changes have been implemented in the server-side logic, since the whole code base was re-written from the ground up. I may discuss these in a future post, but for now, I consider the current version to be just a bit beyond beta, and additional updates are planned in the coming weeks.

> [Read the original blog post](https://blog.kycnot.me/p/wizardswap-review) I'm launching a new service review section on this blog in collaboration with [OrangeFren](https://orangefren.com). These reviews are sponsored, yet the sponsorship does not influence the outcome of the evaluations. Reviews are done in advance, then, the service provider has the discretion to approve publication without modifications. Sponsored reviews are independent from the kycnot.me list, being only part of the blog. The reviews have no impact on the scores of the listings or their continued presence on the list. Should any issues arise, I will not hesitate to remove any listing. --- ## The review [WizardSwap](https://kycnot.me/service/wizardswap) is an instant exchange centred around privacy coins. It was launched in 2020 making it old enough to have weathered the 2021 bull run and the subsequent bearish year. | Pros | Cons | |------|------| | Tor-friendly | Limited liquidity | | Guarantee of no KYC | Overly simplistic design | | Earn by providing liquidity | | **Rating**: ★★★★★ **Service Website**: [wizardswap.io](https://www.wizardswap.io/) ### Liquidity Right off the bat, we'll start off by pointing out that WizardSwap relies on its own liquidity reserves, meaning they aren't just a reseller of Binance or another exchange. They're also committed to a no-KYC policy, when asking them, they even promised they would rather refund a user their original coins, than force them to undergo any sort of verification. On the one hand, full control over all their infrastructure gives users the most privacy and conviction about the KYC policies remaining in place. On the other hand, this means the liquidity available for swapping isn't huge. At the time of testing we could only purchase at most about 0.73 BTC with XMR. It's clear the team behind WizardSwap is aware of this shortfall and so they've come up with a solution unique among instant exchanges. They let you, the user, deposit any of the currencies they support into your account and earn a profit on the trades made using your liquidity. ### Trading Fees on WizardSwap are middle-of-the-pack. The normal fee is 2.2%. That's more than some exchanges that reserve the right to suddenly demand you undergo verification, yet less than half the fees on some other privacy-first exchanges. However as we mentioned in the section above you can earn almost all of that fee (2%) if you provide liquidity to WizardSwap. It's good that with the current Bitcoin fee market their fees are constant regardless of how much, or how little, you send. This is in stark contrast with some of the alternative swap providers that will charge you a massive premium when attempting to swap small amounts of BTC away. ### Test trades > Test trades are always performed without previous notice to the service provider. During our testing we performed a few test trades and found that every single time WizardSwap immediately detected the incoming transaction and the amount we received was _exactly_ what was quoted before depositing. The fees were inline with what WizardSwap advertises.  - [Monero payment proof](https://www.exploremonero.com/receipt/bd7d6fe81b1e6ba6a89505752ea3688a6fed3920202e513e309d37bc3aebff34/8AFcX8TNnrCHmKqyaZGUYSCdjKrYgqNyLSkksFhwZGaXHsrBCUxqHGjCL6aVUb87QcYLzRXKYBGuYME6t5MBQu1u7LHRztK/2b0442aa2c31c3715da1b485f407e01ca43db74fef7d9ce54ddb69452f15120d) - [Bitcoin received](https://mempool.space/address/bc1qjqtyzav6dtly4vu9qr9qylf6vrqkhhlrsqnq2u) - [Wizardswap TX link](https://www.wizardswap.io/id=87MVUQ7F) - it's possible that this link may cease to be valid at some point in the future. ### **ToS and KYC** WizardSwap does not have a Terms of Service or a Privacy Policy page, at least none that can be found by users. Instead, they offer a FAQ section where they addresses some basic questions. The site does not mention any KYC or AML practices. It also does not specify how refunds are handled in case of failure. However, based on the FAQ section "What if I send funds after the offer expires?" it can be inferred that contacting support is necessary and network fees will be deducted from any refund. ### UI & Tor WizardSwap can be visited both via your usual browser and Tor Browser. Should you decide on the latter you'll find that the website works even with the most strict settings available in the Tor Browser (meaning no JavaScript). However, when disabling Javascript you'll miss the live support chat, as well as automatic refreshing of the trade page. The lack of the first means that you will have no way to contact support from the trade page if anything goes wrong during your swap, although you can do so by mail. One important thing to have in mind is that if you were to accidentally close the browser during the swap, and you did not save the swap ID or your browser history is disabled, you'll have no easy way to return to the trade. For this reason we suggest when you begin a trade to copy the url or ID to someplace safe, before sending any coins to WizardSwap. The UI you'll be greeted by is simple, minimalist, and easy to navigate. It works well not just across browsers, but also across devices. You won't have any issues using this exchange on your phone. ### Getting in touch The team behind WizardSwap appears to be most active on X (formerly Twitter): https://twitter.com/WizardSwap_io If you have any comments or suggestions about the exchange make sure to reach out to them. In the past they've been very receptive to user feedback, for instance a few months back WizardSwap was planning on removing DeepOnion, but the community behind that project got together [^1] and after reaching out WizardSwap reversed their decision [^2]. You can also contact them via email at: `support @ wizardswap . io` ### Disclaimer *None of the above should be understood as investment or financial advice.

> [Read the original blog post](https://blog.kycnot.me/p/monero-history) Bitcoin enthusiasts frequently and correctly remark how much value it adds to Bitcoin not to have a face, a leader, or a central authority behind it. This particularity means there isn't a single person to exert control over, or a single human point of failure who could become corrupt or harmful to the project. Because of this, it is said that no other coin can be equally valuable as Bitcoin in terms of decentralization and trustworthiness. Bitcoin is unique not just for being first, but also because of how the events behind its inception developed. This implies that, from Bitcoin onwards, any coin created would have been created by someone, consequently having an authority behind it. For this and some other reasons, some people refer to Bitcoin as "[The Immaculate Conception](https://yewtu.be/watch?v=FXvQcuIb5rU)". While other coins may have their own unique features and advantages, they may not be able to replicate Bitcoin's community-driven nature. However, one other cryptocurrency shares a similar story of mystery behind its creation: **Monero**. ## History of Monero ### Bytecoin and CryptoNote In March 2014, a Bitcointalk thread titled "*Bytecoin. Secure, private, untraceable since 2012*" was initiated by a user under the nickname "**DStrange**"[^1^]. DStrange presented Bytecoin (BCN) as a unique cryptocurrency, in operation since July 2012. Unlike Bitcoin, it employed a new algorithm known as CryptoNote. DStrange apparently stumbled upon the Bytecoin website by chance while mining a dying bitcoin fork, and decided to create a thread on Bitcointalk[^1^]. This sparked curiosity among some users, who wondered how could Bytecoin remain unnoticed since its alleged launch in 2012 until then[^2^] [^3^]. Some time after, a user brought up the "CryptoNote v2.0" whitepaper for the first time, underlining its innovative features[^4^]. Authored by the pseudonymous **Nicolas van Saberhagen** in October 2013, the CryptoNote v2 whitepaper[^5^] highlighted the traceability and privacy problems in Bitcoin. Saberhagen argued that these flaws could not be quickly fixed, suggesting it would be more efficient to start a new project rather than trying to patch the original[^5^], an statement simmilar to the one from Satoshi Nakamoto[^6^]. Checking with Saberhagen's digital signature, the release date of the whitepaper seemed correct, which would mean that Cryptonote (v1) was created in 2012[^7^] [^8^], although there's an important detail: *"Signing time is from the clock on the signer's computer"* [^9^]. Moreover, the whitepaper v1 contains a footnote link to a Bitcointalk post dated May 5, 2013[^10^], making it impossible for the whitepaper to have been signed and released on December 12, 2012. As the narrative developed, users discovered that a significant **80% portion of Bytecoin had been pre-mined**[^11^] and blockchain dates seemed to be faked to make it look like it had been operating since 2012, leading to controversy surrounding the project. The origins of CryptoNote and Bytecoin remain mysterious, leaving suspicions of a possible scam attempt, although the whitepaper had a good amount of work and thought on it. ### The fork In April 2014, the Bitcointalk user **`thankful_for_today`**, who had also participated in the Bytecoin thread[^12^], announced plans to launch a Bytecoin fork named **Bitmonero**[^13^] [^14^]. The primary motivation behind this fork was *"Because there is a number of technical and marketing issues I wanted to do differently. And also because I like ideas and technology and I want it to succeed"*[^14^]. This time Bitmonero did things different from Bytecoin: there was no premine or instamine, and no portion of the block reward went to development. However, thankful_for_today proposed controversial changes that the community disagreed with. **Johnny Mnemonic** relates the events surrounding Bitmonero and thankful_for_today in a Bitcointalk comment[^15^]: > When thankful_for_today launched BitMonero [...] he ignored everything that was discussed and just did what he wanted. The block reward was considerably steeper than what everyone was expecting. He also moved forward with 1-minute block times despite everyone's concerns about the increase of orphan blocks. He also didn't address the tail emission concern that should've (in my opinion) been in the code at launch time. Basically, he messed everything up. *Then, he disappeared*. After disappearing for a while, thankful_for_today returned to find that the community had taken over the project. Johnny Mnemonic continues: > I, and others, started working on new forks that were closer to what everyone else was hoping for. [...] it was decided that the BitMonero project should just be taken over. There were like 9 or 10 interested parties at the time if my memory is correct. We voted on IRC to drop the "bit" from BitMonero and move forward with the project. Thankful_for_today suddenly resurfaced, and wasn't happy to learn the community had assumed control of the coin. He attempted to maintain his own fork (still calling it "BitMonero") for a while, but that quickly fell into obscurity. The unfolding of these events show us the roots of Monero. Much like Satoshi Nakamoto, the creators behind CryptoNote/Bytecoin and thankful_for_today remain a mystery[^17^] [^18^], having disappeared without a trace. This enigma only adds to Monero's value. Since community took over development, believing in the project's potential and its ability to be guided in a better direction, Monero was given one of Bitcoin's most important qualities: **a leaderless nature**. With no single face or entity directing its path, Monero is safe from potential corruption or harm from a "central authority". The community continued developing Monero until today. Since then, Monero has undergone a lot of technological improvements, migrations and achievements such as [RingCT](https://www.getmonero.org/resources/moneropedia/ringCT.html) and [RandomX](https://github.com/tevador/randomx). It also has developed its own [Community Crowdfundinc System](https://ccs.getmonero.org/), conferences such as [MoneroKon](https://monerokon.org/) and [Monerotopia](https://monerotopia.com/) are taking place every year, and has a very active [community](https://www.getmonero.org/community/hangouts/) around it. > Monero continues to develop with goals of privacy and security first, ease of use and efficiency second. [^16^] This stands as a testament to the power of a dedicated community operating without a central figure of authority. This decentralized approach aligns with the original ethos of cryptocurrency, making Monero a prime example of community-driven innovation. For this, I thank all the people involved in Monero, that lead it to where it is today. *If you find any information that seems incorrect, unclear or any missing important events, please [contact me](https://kycnot.me/about#contact) and I will make the necessary changes.* ### Sources of interest * https://forum.getmonero.org/20/general-discussion/211/history-of-monero * https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/852/what-is-the-origin-of-monero-and-its-relationship-to-bytecoin * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monero * https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.0 * https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=563821.0 * https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=233561 * https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=512747.0 * https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=740112.0 * https://monero.stackexchange.com/a/1024 * https://inspec2t-project.eu/cryptocurrency-with-a-focus-on-anonymity-these-facts-are-known-about-monero/ * https://medium.com/coin-story/coin-perspective-13-riccardo-spagni-69ef82907bd1 * https://www.getmonero.org/resources/about/ * https://www.wired.com/2017/01/monero-drug-dealers-cryptocurrency-choice-fire/ * https://www.monero.how/why-monero-vs-bitcoin * https://old.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/u8e5yr/satoshi_nakamoto_talked_about_privacy_features/ [^1^]: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=512747.0 [^2^]: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=512747.msg5901770#msg5901770 [^3^]: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=512747.msg5950051#msg5950051 [^4^]: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=512747.msg5953783#msg5953783 [^5^]: https://bytecoin.org/old/whitepaper.pdf [^6^]: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=770.msg8637#msg8637 [^7^]: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=512747.msg7039536#msg7039536 [^8^]: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=512747.msg7039689#msg7039689 [^9^]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/qtJ43.png [^10^]: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=740112 [^11^]: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=512747.msg6265128#msg6265128 [^12^]: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=512747.msg5711328#msg5711328 [^13^]: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=512747.msg6146717#msg6146717 [^14^]: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=563821.0 [^15^]: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg10731078#msg10731078 [^16^]: https://www.getmonero.org/resources/about/ [^17^]: https://old.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/lz2e5v/going_deep_in_the_cryptonote_rabbit_hole_who_was/ [^18^]: https://old.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/oxpimb/is_there_any_evidence_that_thankful_for_today/

> [Read the original blog post](https://blog.kycnot.me/p/diy-seed-backup) I've been thinking about how to improve my seed backup in a cheap and cool way, mostly for fun. Until now, I had the seed written on a piece of paper in a desk drawer, and I wanted something more durable and fire-proof. [Show me the final result!](#the-final-result) After searching online, I found two options I liked the most: the [Cryptosteel](https://cryptosteel.com/) Capsule and the [Trezor Keep](https://trezor.io/trezor-keep-metal). These products are nice but quite expensive, and I didn't want to spend that much on my seed backup. **Privacy** is also important, and sharing details like a shipping address makes me uncomfortable. This concern has grown since the Ledger incident[^1]. A $5 wrench attack[^2] seems too cheap, even if you only hold a few sats. Upon seeing the design of Cryptosteel, I considered creating something similar at home. Although it may not be as cool as their device, it could offer almost the same in terms of robustness and durability. ## Step 1: Get the materials and tools When choosing the materials, you will want to go with **stainless steel**. It is durable, resistant to fire, water, and corrosion, very robust, and does not rust. Also, its price point is just right; it's not the cheapest, but it's cheap for the value you get.  I went to a material store and bought: - Two bolts - Two hex nuts and head nuts for the bolts - A bag of 30 washers All items were made of stainless steel. The total price was around **€6**. This is enough for making two seed backups. You will also need: - A set of metal letter stamps (I bought a 2mm-size letter kit since my washers were small, 6mm in diameter) - You can find these in local stores or online marketplaces. The set I bought cost me €13. - A good hammer - A solid surface to stamp on Total spent: **19€** for two backups ## Step 2: Stamp and store Once you have all the materials, you can start stamping your words. There are many videos on the internet that use fancy 3D-printed tools to get the letters nicely aligned, but I went with the free-hand option. The results were pretty decent.  I only stamped the first 4 letters for each word since the BIP-39 wordlist allows for this. Because my stamping kit did not include numbers, I used alphabet letters to define the order. This way, if all the washers were to fall off, I could still reassemble the seed correctly. ## The final result So this is the final result. I added two smaller washers as protection and also put the top washer reversed so the letters are not visible:  Compared to the Cryptosteel or the Trezor Keep, its size is much more compact. This makes for an easier-to-hide backup, in case you ever need to hide it inside your human body. ## Some ideas ### Tamper-evident seal To enhance the security this backup, you can consider using a **tamper-evident seal**. This can be easily achieved by printing a **unique** image or using a specific day's newspaper page (just note somewhere what day it was). Apply a thin layer of glue to the washer's surface and place the seal over it. If someone attempts to access the seed, they will be forced to destroy the seal, which will serve as an evident sign of tampering. This simple measure will provide an additional layer of protection and allow you to quickly identify any unauthorized access attempts. Note that this method is not resistant to outright theft. The tamper-evident seal won't stop a determined thief but it will prevent them from accessing your seed without leaving any trace. ### Redundancy Make sure to add redundancy. Make several copies of this cheap backup, and store them in separate locations. ### Unique wordset Another layer of security could be to implement your own custom mnemonic dictionary. However, this approach has the risk of permanently losing access to your funds if not implemented correctly. If done properly, you could potentially end up with a highly secure backup, as no one else would be able to derive the seed phrase from it. To create your custom dictionary, assign a unique number from 1 to 2048 to a word of your choice. Maybe you could use a book, and index the first 2048 unique words that appear. Make sure to store this book and even get a couple copies of it (digitally and phisically). This self-curated set of words will serve as your personal BIP-39 dictionary. When you need to translate between your custom dictionary and the official [BIP-39 wordlist](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt), simply use the index number to find the corresponding word in either list. > Never write the idex or words on your computer (Do not use `Ctr+F`) [^1]: https://web.archive.org/web/20240326084135/https://www.ledger.com/message-ledgers-ceo-data-leak [^2]: https://xkcd.com/538/

> [Read the original blog post](https://blog.kycnot.me/p/ai-tos-analysis) **kycnot.me** features a somewhat hidden tool that some users may not be aware of. Every month, an automated job crawls every listed service's Terms of Service (ToS) and FAQ pages and conducts an AI-driven analysis, generating a comprehensive overview that highlights key points related to KYC and user privacy. Here's an example: [Changenow's Tos Review](https://kycnot.me/service/changenow#tos)  ## Why? ToS pages typically contain a lot of complicated text. Since the first versions of **kycnot.me**, I have tried to provide users a comprehensive overview of what can be found in such documents. This automated method keeps the information up-to-date every month, which was one of the main challenges with manual updates. A significant part of the time I invest in investigating a service for **kycnot.me** involves reading the ToS and looking for any clauses that might indicate aggressive KYC practices or privacy concerns. For the past four years, I performed this task manually. However, with advancements in language models, this process can now be somewhat automated. I still manually review the ToS for a quick check and regularly verify the AI’s findings. However, over the past three months, this automated method has proven to be quite reliable. Having a quick ToS overview section allows users to avoid reading the entire ToS page. Instead, you can quickly read the important points that are grouped, summarized, and referenced, making it easier and faster to understand the key information. ## Limitations This method has a key limitation: JS-generated pages. For this reason, I was using Playwright in my crawler implementation. I plan to make a release addressing this issue in the future. There are also sites that don't have ToS/FAQ pages, but these sites already include a warning in that section. Another issue is false positives. Although not very common, sometimes the AI might incorrectly interpret something harmless as harmful. Such errors become apparent upon reading; it's clear when something marked as bad should not be categorized as such. I manually review these cases regularly, checking for anything that seems off and then removing any inaccuracies. Overall, the automation provides great results. ## How? There have been several iterations of this tool. Initially, I started with GPT-3.5, but the results were not good in any way. It made up many things, and important thigs were lost on large ToS pages. I then switched to GPT-4 Turbo, but it was expensive. Eventually, I settled on Claude 3 Sonnet, which provides a quality compromise between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 Turbo at a more reasonable price, while allowing a generous 200K token context window. I designed a prompt, which is open source[^1], that has been tweaked many times and will surely be adjusted further in the future. For the ToS scraping part, I initially wrote a scraper API using Playwright[^2], but I replaced it with Jina AI Reader[^3], which works quite well and is designed for this task. ### Non-conflictive ToS All services have a dropdown in the ToS section called "Non-conflictive ToS Reviews." These are the reviews that the AI flagged as not needing a user warning. I still provide these because I think they may be interesting to read. ## Feedback and contributing You can give me feedback on this tool, or share any inaccuraties by either opening an issue on Codeberg[^4] or by contacting me [^5]. You can contribute with pull requests, which are always welcome, or you can [support](https://kycnot.me/about#support) this project with any of the listed ways.

Sponsored reviews are independent from the kycnot.me list, being only part of the blog. The reviews have no impact on the scores of the listings or their continued presence on the list. Should any issues arise, I will not hesitate to remove any listing. Reviews are in collaboration with [Orangefren](https://kycnot.me/service/orangefren). ## The review [Swapter.io](https://kycnot.me/service/swapter) is an all-purpose instant exchange. They entered the scene in the depths of the bear market about 2 years ago in June of 2022. | Pros | Cons | | --------------- | ---------------------------------- | | Low fees | Shotgun KYC with opaque triggers | | Large liquidity | Relies on 3rd party liquidity | | Works over Tor | Front-end not synced with back-end | | Pretty UI | | **Rating**: ★★★☆☆ **Service Website:** [swapter.io](https://swapter.io) > ⚠️ There is an ongoing issue with this service: [read more on Reddit](https://old.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/1d8olsd/swapter_225_xmr_missing/). ### Test Trades During our testing we performed a trade from XMR to LTC, and then back to XMR. Our first trade had the ID of: `mpUitpGemhN8jjNAjQuo6EvQ`. We were promised **0.8 LTC** for sending **0.5 XMR**, before we sent the Monero. When the Monero arrived we were sent **0.799 LTC**. On the return journey we performed trade with ID: `yaCRb5pYcRKAZcBqg0AzEGYg`. This time we were promised **0.4815 XMR** for sending **0.799 LTC**. After Litecoin arrived we were sent **0.4765 XMR**. As such we saw a discrepancy of `~0.1%` in the first trade and `~1%` in the second trade. Considering those trades were floating we determine the estimates presented in the UI to be highly accurate and honest. Of course Swapter could've been imposing a large fee on their estimates, but we checked their estimates against CoinGecko and found the difference to be equivalent to a fee of just over `0.5%`. Perfectly in line with other swapping services. ### Trading Swapter supports BTC, LTC, XMR and well over a thousand other coins. Sadly they **don't support the Lightning Network**. For the myriad of currencies they deal with they provide massive upper limits. You could exchange tens, or even hundreds, of thousands of dollars worth of cryptocurrency in a single trade (although we wouldn't recommend it). The flip side to this is that Swapter **relies on 3rd party liquidity**. Aside from the large liqudity this also benefits the user insofar as it allows for very low fees. However, it also comes with a negative - the 3rd party gets to see all your trades. Unfortunately Swapter opted not to share where they source their liquidity in their Privacy Policy or Terms of Service. ### KYC & AML policies Swapter reserves the right to require its users to provide their full name, their date of birth, their address and government-issued ID. A practice known as "*shotgun KYC*". This should not happen often - in our testing it never did - however it's not clear when exactly it could happen. The AML & KYC policy provided on Swapter's website simply states they will put your trade on hold if their "risk scoring system [deems it] as suspicious". Worse yet, if they determine that "any of the information [the] customer provided is incorrect, false, outdated, or incomplete" then Swapter may decide to terminate all of the services they provide to the user. What exactly would happen to their funds in such a case remains unclear. The only clarity we get is that the Swapter policy outlines a designated 3rd party that will verify the information provided by the user. The third party's name is Sum & Substance Ltd, also simply known as samsub and available at [sumsub.com](https://sumsub.com/) It's understandable that some exchanges will decide on a policy of this sort, especially when they rely on external liquidity, but we would prefer more clarity be given. **When exactly is a trade suspicious?** ### Tor We were pleased to discover Swapter **works over Tor**. However, they do not provide a Tor mirror, nor do they work without JavaScript. Additionally, we found that some small features, such as the live chat, did not work over Tor. Fortunately, other means of contacting their support are still available. ### UI We have found the Swapter UI to be very modern, straightforward and simple to use. It's available in 4 languages (English, French, Dutch and Russian), although we're unable to vouch for the quality of some of those, the ones that we used seemed perfectly serviceable. Our only issue with the UI was that it claims the funds have been sent following the trade, when in reality it seems to take the backend a minute or so to actually broadcast the transaction. ### Getting in touch Swapter's team has a chat on their website, a support email address and a support Telegram. Their social media presence in most active on Telegram and X (formerly Twitter). ### Disclaimer *None of the above should be understood as investment or financial advice.

> [Read the original blog post](https://blog.kycnot.me/p/four-years) > “The future is there... staring back at us. Trying to make sense of the fiction we will have become.” > — William Gibson. This month is [the 4th anniversary](#the-anniversary) of kycnot.me. Thank you for being here. Fifteen years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto introduced Bitcoin, a peer-to-peer electronic cash system: a decentralized currency **free from government and institutional control**. Nakamoto's whitepaper showed a vision for a financial system based on trustless transactions, secured by cryptography. Some time forward and KYC (Know Your Customer), AML (Anti-Money Laundering), and CTF (Counter-Terrorism Financing) regulations started to come into play. What a paradox: to engage with a system designed for decentralization, privacy, and independence, we are forced to give away our personal details. Using Bitcoin in the economy requires revealing your identity, not just to the party you interact with, but also to third parties who must track and report the interaction. You are forced to give sensitive data to entities you don't, can't, and shouldn't trust. Information can never be kept 100% safe; there's always a risk. Information is power, who knows about you has control over you. Information asymmetry creates imbalances of power. When entities have detailed knowledge about individuals, they can manipulate, influence, or exploit this information to their advantage. The accumulation of personal data by corporations and governments enables extensive surveillances. Such practices, moreover, exclude individuals from traditional economic systems if their documentation doesn't meet arbitrary standards, reinforcing a dystopian divide. Small businesses are similarly burdened by the costs of implementing these regulations, hindering free market competition[^1]:  How will they keep this information safe? Why do they need my identity? Why do they force businesses to enforce such regulations? It's always for your safety, to protect you from the "bad". Your life is perpetually in danger: terrorists, money launderers, villains... so the government steps in to save us. > ‟Hush now, baby, baby, don't you cry > Mamma's gonna make all of your nightmares come true > Mamma's gonna put all of her fears into you > Mamma's gonna keep you right here, under her wing > She won't let you fly, but she might let you sing > Mamma's gonna keep baby cosy and warm” > — Mother, Pink Floyd We must resist any attack on our privacy and freedom. To do this, we must collaborate. If you have a service, refuse to ask for KYC; find a way. Accept cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Monero. Commit to circular economies. Remove the need to go through the FIAT system. People need fiat money to use most services, but we can change that. If you're a user, donate to and prefer using services that accept such currencies. Encourage your friends to accept cryptocurrencies as well. Boycott FIAT system to the greatest extent you possibly can. This may sound utopian, but it can be achieved. This movement can't be stopped. Go kick the hornet's nest. > “We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. We must come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place. People have been defending their own privacy for centuries with whispers, darkness, envelopes, closed doors, secret handshakes, and couriers. The technologies of the past did not allow for strong privacy, but electronic technologies do.” > — Eric Hughes, A Cypherpunk's Manifesto ## The anniversary Four years ago, I began exploring ways to use crypto without KYC. I bookmarked a few favorite services and thought sharing them to the world might be useful. That was the first version of [kycnot.me](https://kycnot.me) — a simple list of about 15 services. Since then, I've added services, rewritten it three times, and improved it to what it is now. [kycnot.me](https://kycnot.me) has remained 100% independent and 100% open source[^2] all these years. I've received offers to buy the site, all of which I have declined and will continue to decline. It has been DDoS attacked many times, but we made it through. I have also rewritten the whole site almost once per year (three times in four years). The code and scoring algorithm are open source (contributions are welcome) and I can't arbitrarly change a service's score without adding or removing attributes, making any arbitrary alterations obvious if they were fake. You can even see [the score summary](https://https://kycnot.me/api/v1/service/bisq/summary) for any service's score. I'm a one-person team, dedicating my free time to this project. I hope to keep doing so for many more years. Again, thank you for being part of this. [^1]: https://x.com/freedomtech/status/1796190018588872806 [^2]: https://codeberg.org/pluja/kycnot.me

They offer pay-as-you-go roaming in 160+ countries. ### **Pros** - Anonymous - Private payment options - High performance - Global availability ### **Cons** - Need to select the right networks sometimes - Latency - Data and incoming SMS & call only ### **Rating** ★★★★★ ### **Service website** [Silent.link](https://silent.link/) --- eSIMs replace traditional, physical SIM cards, if you have a fairly new phone, odds are it supports them. Since most people change their mobile carrier very rarely, the most common use case for these new eSIMs is their use in travel. Although their use as a piece of a larger OPSEC puzzle to improve privacy when using the internet from your phone is increasingly popular too. Silent.link is not the only eSIM provider out there. Yet, they’re so unique that even Twitter’s (now X) founder Jack Dorsey [recommends them](https://x.com/jack/status/1830581891180699725). Let’s start off with a quick explanation of how Silent.link works and what pay-as-you-go means. Most other eSIM providers will sell you packages of GBs with an expiration date. For instance imagine you’re visiting France then going to the UK after a few months. With other providers you might buy a 10GB in France package valid for 7 days, then after some months a 10GB in the UK package also valid for 7 days. You likely won’t use up the full package in either country and the remaining capacity will be voided as the package expires. Silent.link’s pay-as-you-go is different. There are no geographic packages. There are no expiration dates. You simply have a balance denominated in USD and are charged as you use up the data according to the pricing of whichever local carrier you’re connecting via. Preparing for the same trips from the example above you’d simply top-up your Silent.link balance with $10. Then you’d use Silent.link in France paying $1.33/GB, you’d only be charged for the exact amount used, then you’d go to the UK and pay $1.54/GB from the balance you had left over from France. It doesn’t matter how much time passes between the trips, because Silent.link balances don’t expire. If you have a balance left over you can use it on a future trip, or simply use it up in your home country. --- ## Pros ### Anonymity Silent.link is anonymous. Most other eSIM providers require some form of identification. This can be a traditional, full KYC, procedure involving your ID or passport numbers or, as seemingly innocent, as verifying your phone number with your main carrier. Regardless, a link between the eSIM you bought online and your identity is established. In some countries you’ll be able to pick up a traditional SIM (or the new eSIM) from a local carrier without undergoing this verification. This can still be a hassle though. You’ll need to look up the laws before travelling, you’ll need to find a local store selling them, you’ll need to decide how you’ll pay privately, etc. And that’s the best case, that’s assuming the country you want to get the SIM in allows you to buy one anonymously. ### Private payment methods Silent.link only accepts cryptocurrency and according to their stats, most payments are made with Bitcoin (either onchain or using the Lightning Network) or with Monero. As such paying anonymously is not a problem. The use a self-hosted instance of BTCPay Server to process payments and operate their own LN node. The entire checkout process can be completed over Tor. --- ## Cons ### Network selection Although you can skip the hassle of buying a new eSIM every time you travel it’s a good idea to look up the pricing of different mobile networks in the country you’re going to. The differences can be trivial, but can also be 100x. If a specific mobile network offers a much better deal, you’ll probably want to dive into your phone’s settings to make sure it only connects to that network. ### High prices for some regions Second issue can be that, especially for poorer countries, Silent.link might not have the best prices. For instance if you travel to Angola you’ll end up paying $155.44/GB. But if you search around for other providers you’ll find eSIM that offer much lower prices for that same country. ### Data & incoming SMS & calls only These eSIMs are either data-only or only offer data and inbound sms and calls. You can’t use Silent.link eSIMs to send texts or make phone calls. ### Latency For most use-cases this shouldn’t matter, but the way roaming works is that when you’re abroad your data is first sent to your home country then sent out into the internet from there. For instance if you’re a Brit on holiday in Spain wherever you open up a website your phone communicates with the Spanish network who forwards the request to your home network in the UK and only there does the request start going towards the website you’re trying to load. The response takes the same path in reverse. The home network for the Silent.link eSIMs is Poland. To take an extreme (antipodal) example, if you’re in Chile loading a Chilean website your request will go to Poland then back from Poland to the website’s server in Chile, then the response will go from Chile to Poland to you (in Chile). All those trips add latency. In our testing, done during the recent OrangeFren.com meetup in Istanbul, the difference was an additional 73ms. The bandwidth, however, was exceptional, easily surpassing 100 Mbps. This latency issue isn’t unique to Silent.link, other eSIM providers usually suffer from it too, though their home network may be better suited for your latency needs. If you need the best latency we recommend a SIM from a local provider (or WiFi). This proxy behaviour isn’t all negative however. It may potentially allow you to circumvent censorship or geoblocking if you’re trying to access resources available from Poland, but unavailable elsewhere. Besides Istanbul one of the countries we also tested Silent.link in was Northern Cyprus. This territory is mostly unrecognized. It’s a country that, depending on who you ask, is or isn’t real. Despite this unresolved geopolitical status Silent.link performed without any issues. --- ## Installation If you decide to give Silent.link a try, you'll need to select if you want a data-only plan or a plan with inbound SMS & calling, once you complete the payment simply scan the QR code on the order confirmation page with your phone. **Make sure to save the url of that order confirmation page somewhere!** You will need it to top up your eSIM and check your remaining balance. ## Getting in touch The preferred way of contacting Silent.link's support is using the website's built-in chat function. Alternative methods include X (formerly Twitter), Matrix and email. Their support is online from 09:00 - 21:00 UTC although even when testing outside of those hours we got a reply within a minute. > **NOTE**: These reviews are sponsored, yet the sponsorship does not influence the outcome of the evaluations.

WIEN – Diese Woche [enthüllte](https://orf.at/stories/3390058/) Innenminister Gerhard Karner von der ÖVP, dass er einen Gesetzesentwurf "schnell" durchsetzen möchte, der der Regierung die Befugnis geben würde, verschlüsselte Kommunikation in Nachrichten-Apps zu überwachen. Obwohl Karner betont hat, dass die neuen Befugnisse nur sehr gezielt eingesetzt würden, ist unklar, ob die Entwickler und Anbieter von Nachrichten-Apps gezwungen werden sollen, die Verschlüsselung zu brechen, um die Anordnungen durchzuführen. Wie der stellvertretende Direktor des Consumer Choice Center, [**Yaël Ossowski**](https://consumerchoicecenter.org/team/yael-ossowski/), erklärte, würde diese Befugnis bedeuten, die Verschlüsselung für Millionen von österreichischen Verbrauchern zu untergraben und zu brechen. **„Jeder Versuch, die Verschlüsselung für einige ausgewählte Personen zu brechen, gefährdet gleichzeitig die Privatsphäre von Millionen von Österreichern. Dies ist weniger eine Frage der angemessenen Polizeibefugnisse als vielmehr eine Frage der technischen und sicherheitsrelevanten Aspekte. Schwächere Verschlüsselung macht österreichische Nutzer weniger sicher“** sagte Ossowski. **„Verschlüsselungsstandards von Apps wie Signal, WhatsApp und sogar iMessage aufzuheben, würde der österreichischen Regierung außergewöhnliche Befugnisse einräumen, die das Risiko bergen, jede und alle Kommunikation zu kompromittieren, nicht nur die von Verdächtigen oder Terroristen.** **„Um gegen kriminelle Akteure vorzugehen, sollte die Koalition das bestehende Justizsystem nutzen, um Haftbefehle auf Grundlage eines begründeten Verdachts durchzusetzen, anstatt Messaging-Dienste und Apps dazu zu zwingen, diese Aufgabe für sie zu übernehmen“** erklärte Ossowski. Das *Consumer Choice Center* weist darauf hin, dass ähnliche Versuche, die Verschlüsselung mit polizeilicher Gewalt zu brechen, bereits im [Vereinigten Königreich](https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten/politik/ausland/apple-datenschutz-tool-grossbritannien-100.html) und in [Frankreich](https://netzpolitik.org/2025/crypto-wars-franzoesische-regierung-will-verschluesselte-private-kommunikation-mitlesen/) unternommen wurden, wo sie von Bürgerrechtsgruppen abgelehnt wurden. *###* *Das Consumer Choice Center ist eine unabhängige, parteiunabhängige Verbraucherorganisation, die die Vorteile von Wahlfreiheit, Innovation und Wachstum im Alltagsleben für Verbraucher in über 100 Ländern fördert.

**CHAPTER THREE** “What did you just say?” she lost control after hearing the news, she hissed at Robert, gripping the arms of her chair so tightly her knuckles turned white. Robert held his ground. “James agreed to save the company, Helen. But he’s taking over as President. It’s the only way.” Helen shot to her feet. “You fool! You think I’ll let that bastard sit in my father-in-law's chair? Robert’s expression remained firm. “If you don’t, Ray Enterprises will cease to exist.” Christopher, who had been silent, finally spoke. “Helen… maybe we should consider it.” Helen had never been a woman to accept defeat. For years, she had ruled over the Ray family like a queen, ensuring that wealth and power remained in her hands. But with James threatening to take over Ray Enterprises, she knew she had to act fast. So, she did something she once considered unthinkable. She offered herself to Mark Lawson. Mark, the only son of the Prime Minister, had always been infatuated with Rita. He had wanted to marry her not only for love but also for power. Helen knew that his weakness was his desire for her daughter. So, during a secret meeting at Mark’s private estate, she leaned in close, her voice smooth as silk. “Help us,” she whispered. “Save Ray Enterprises, and I promise you, Rita will be yours.” Mark smirked, swirling the wine in his glass. “You expect me to believe Rita will suddenly fall in love with me?” Helen smiled seductively, running a finger along the rim of her glass. “She doesn’t have to fall in love with you,” she said. “She just has to see James as a failure. And with your wealth, your influence… you can be the man she turns to when she realizes James has nothing left to offer.” Mark raised an eyebrow. “And if she still refuses?” Helen leaned closer, placing a hand on his knee. “Then I’ll convince her myself,” she promised. Mark chuckled, looking at her with newfound interest. “And what about you?” he asked, his voice dripping with amusement. Helen smirked. “Consider me… a bonus.” Mark’s eyes darkened with desire. He knew Helen was a cunning woman, but this? This was a new level of manipulation. And he loved it. The deal was struck. That very night, Mark wired eleven million dollars into Ray Enterprises’ account. The company was still in crisis, but for now, it was enough to keep them afloat. With Helen’s full support, Mark wasted no time showering Rita with gifts. He sent luxury cars to her doorstep. He booked private jets to take her on weekend getaways. He filled her office with bouquets of rare flowers and custom-made jewelry that no one else in the country owned. Every time he visited the Ray family mansion, he publicly declared his love for Rita, making it clear that he was ready to give her everything James couldn’t. Rita, however, remained indifferent. She didn’t love Mark. She never had. But her family’s pressure was unbearable. Her mother, Helen, constantly reminded her, “James has nothing compared to Mark. If you stay with him, we’ll lose everything.” Her father, Christopher, said, “Think of the family name, Rita. James was never one of us. But Mark? He’s from true power.” And her brother, Stephen, scoffed, “You’re being stubborn, sis. Stop holding onto a dead marriage. Mark can give you the life you deserve.” The walls were closing in on Rita. And Mark knew it. One evening, Mark arrived at the Ray family mansion once again, bringing yet another gift for Rita: a diamond necklace worth over a million dollars. But this time, James was waiting for him. As Mark stepped out of his sleek black car, James approached him, his expression cold and unreadable. “Lawson,” James greeted, his voice low and firm. Mark smirked. He responded mockingly. “Shouldn’t you be at work? Oh, wait, my money is currently keeping your wife’s family from bankruptcy.” James clenched his jaw but kept his voice steady. “Let’s cut the games. Stop buying gifts for my wife.” Mark chuckled. “Oh, come on, James. It’s just a friendly gesture. Can’t a man be generous?” James took a step closer, his eyes dark. “Generosity? Or desperation?” Mark’s smirk faded slightly. James continued, his tone dangerous. “You think you can buy her love? Drown her in wealth until she forgets about me? You’re pathetic, Mark.” Mark’s nostrils flared. “Pathetic?” He scoffed. “I have power, connections, and influence. You? You were thrown out like trash, James. The only reason you’re standing here is because your Ray adopted you here,But let’s be honest, you don’t belong in our world.” James exhaled slowly, shaking his head. “You still don’t get it, do you?” He chuckled darkly. “Rita isn’t some prize you can buy. She doesn’t love you. She never will.” Mark’s smirk returned. “Maybe,” he admitted. “But tell me, James… How long can a woman resist luxury, security, and power?” “I’m warning you, Mark,” he said, voice like steel. “If you ever try to buy my wife again… you’ll regret it.” Mark raised his hands mockingly. “Ooooh, I’m so scared. What are you going to do, James? Fight me?” James didn’t answer. Instead, he gave Mark one last look, one filled with silent promise before turning away and walking back inside. Mark stood there for a moment, watching him go. Then, he smirked. Because this wasn’t over. Not by a long shot. That night, Rita sat alone in her bedroom, staring at the extravagant gifts Mark had sent. She hated how her family was trying to force her into a life she didn’t want. And most of all… she hated the way James was fighting this battle alone. Her love for James had never wavered. But how much longer could she endure? How much longer could she watch him stand against the entire Ray family and Mark Lawson’s power? Because deep down, she knew… This wasn’t just about business anymore. This was war. And someone was going to lose everything. James sat in his study, his mind clouded with frustration. The confrontation with Mark still burned in his chest. He knew the man wasn’t helping the Ray family out of generosity he was buying his way in. And Helen, blinded by desperation, was handing everything over to him, including her own daughter. Just as he took a sip of water, the door to his study swung open. Helen stormed in, her heels clicking against the floor like gunfire.

Businesses want Nostr, but Nostr is not ready for business. What can be done? - Businesses want reliable SEO and socials to put their brands in front of users, rather than arbitrary gate keepers, censoring the marketplace on a whim. - Businesses want open access to harvest public data for free on a soveregnty respecting network, rather than paying gate keepers for access to user data of questionalble origin. - Businesses want the freedom to NOT take ownership of certain user data collected by their apps, rather than being liabile for moderation and safe handling on their private infrastructure. - Busineses want a single open protocol on which to build their apps, with unlimited potential and a diversity of shared users from other apps, rather than multiple siloed networks with difering APIs and demographics. - Businesses want to own the technology they build and to use it as they wish, rather than submit their code for approval and control by arbitrary gate keepers. But Nostr is not ready for business. - Businesses DON'T want proprietary app data stored publicly as signed Nostr events on user specified relays. - Businesses DON'T want to have to specify, or be constrained by, or even navigate the complexity of Nostr NIP standards for every novel kind of content that their apps generate. - Businesses DON'T want to "open source" their entire suite of native apps JUST to assure end users that Nostr private keys are being safely handled. - Businesses DON'T want to have to "rewrite" their entire app backend just to accomodate the Nostr way of "users sign events but dont actually login to your server" auth architecture. - Businesses DONT want to suffer DDOS from bots and bad actors, or to expose their users to unwanted content, or even to have their own content disappear a sea of spam and misinformation. Here is some of what can be done. - More tools and services for private business apps to coexist with freedom tech, and even thrive together, on the Nostr network. - Extensible Webs of Trust algos for discovery and reach into any audience or demographic of trusted users. - WoT powered standard APIs for exposing content to Nostr (and other business apps) from within a “black box” business app. - HTTP AUTH (NIP 98) integration for business apps, allowing users to create local content WITHOUT needing discrete signatures or “linked” user accounts. - Frost compatible “login“ for business apps, allowing users to paste “disposable” nsecs into proprietary clients without fear of their “cold” nsec being compromised. - Support for “incremental” (and voluntary) adoption of freedom tech into existing business apps, with easy off-ramps for businesses to transfer more and more siloed data onto the “public” network. Thoughts so far…

 To most of us it's all about the sound of freedom, the innovation, it's technical implication, what if feels like in a decentralised environment. Now let's head into that which brings our fantasies to reality, Nostr which stands for "Notes and other stuffs Transmitted by Relays", is an open protocol designed for decentralised social networkin ## Nostr most Amazing Features 1. Decentralisation: compared to traditional social media platforms like like Twitter (X) and Instagram that rely on centralised servers, Nostr operates through a network of relays. These relays serves as servers that store and forward messages. This amazing feature of decentralisation aims to make the network completely resistant to censorship, most people would say how? To answer your question it's because no single individual control's it 2. User Control: ever thought of the purest feeling of freedom, well Nostr just gave you the space to experience. User's have total control over their data and identity. 3. Simplicity: why get stressed when Nostr got you covered? This protocol is designed to be relatively simple, making it easier for developers to build applications on top of it.  ## Nostr Relation to Bitcoin Who wouldn't want to be part of a community that embraces it's ethics in a dignified manner. Nostr has gained popularity within the Bitcoin community, and the Bitcoin Lightning Network is used for features like "Zaps" (which represents small payments or tips). There are also similarities in the philosophy of decentralization, that both bitcoin and Nostr share. Just like the saying goes, birds of the same feather flock together. This leads me to one of the best magnificent project, focused on building decentralisation media infrastructure, particularly within the Nostr ecosystem.  ## Yakihonne the future of the world YakiHonne is an amazing project focused on building decentralized media infrastructure, particularly within the Nostr ecosystem. It's mind blowing features includes: 1. Decentralized Media: YakiHonne aims to provide tools and platforms that support freedom and automation in content creation, curation, article writing and reporting. It leverages the decentralized nature of the Nostr protocol to achieve this amazing feat. 2. Nostr and Bitcoin Integration: YakiHonne is closely tied to the Nostr network, and it also incorporates Bitcoin functionality. This integration includes features related to the Lightning Network, enabling things like "zaps" (small Bitcoin payments) within the platform. 3. Mobile Application: YakiHonne offers a mobile application with an eye catching user interface simply designed to provide users with a smooth and intuitive Nostr experience. This app includes features like: -Support for various login options. -Content curation tools. -Lightning Network integration. -Long form article support.  ## Disadvantages of Traditional social media Lets go back to a world without the flute of freedom echoing in our hearts, where implementations are controlled by certain entities, reasons why traditional social media platforms hold not even a single stance compared to Nostr: 1. Privacy Concerns: Data Collection: Social media platforms collect vast amounts of user data, often without full transparency. This data can be used for targeted advertising, and sometimes, it can be compromised in data breaches. Which won't happen or be possible on yakihonne 2. Social Comparison and Low Self-Esteem: The over hyped and often unrealistic portrayals of life on social media can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. But on yakihonne you get to connect and grow with a community with specified goals bent on implementation 3.   Misinformation and Fake News: Spread of False Information: Social media platforms can be breeding grounds for misinformation and fake news, which can spread rapidly and have significant real-world consequences. Is that possible on yakihonne, well we all know the answer. 4. Centralized Control: Censorship: Centralized platforms have the power to censor content, raising concerns about freedom of speech. Algorithm Bias: Algorithms can be biased, leading to unfair or discriminatory outcomes. This tells us why a decentralised media platform like yakihonne stands out to be the only media with a future.  ## Why Chose Nostr why chose yakihonne When considering Nostr and related projects like YakiHonne, the appeal stems largely from a desire for greater control, privacy, and freedom in online communication. Which from the points aligned above, gives us no second chance of thought, but the thought of being part of the Nostr community, active on a platform like yakihonne.

## Chef's notes I found this recipe a couple years ago and have been addicted to it since. Its incredibly easy, and cheap to prep. Freeze the sausage in flat, single serving portions. That way it can be cooked from frozen for a fast, flavorful, and healthy lunch or dinner. I took inspiration from the video that contained this recipe, and almost always pan fry the frozen sausage with some baby broccoli. The steam cooks the broccoli and the fats from the sausage help it to sear, while infusing the vibrant flavors. Serve with some rice, if desired. I often use serrano peppers, due to limited produce availability. They work well for a little heat and nice flavor that is not overpowering. ## Details - ⏲️ Prep time: 25 min - 🍳 Cook time: 15 min (only needed if cooking at time of prep) - 🍽️ Servings: 10 ## Ingredients - 4 lbs ground pork - 12-15 cloves garlic, minced - 6 Thai or Serrano peppers, rough chopped - 1/4 c. lime juice - 4 Tbsp fish sauce - 1 Tbsp brown sugar - 1/2 c. chopped cilantro ## Directions 1. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. 2. Portion and freeze, as desired. 3. Sautè frozen portions in hot frying pan, with broccoli or other fresh veggies. 4. Serve with rice or alone.

The Greens suggest limiting tax concessions to a single pre-existing investment property and banning them for future purchases or inheritances. Additionally, they propose a two-year rent freeze with subsequent increases capped at 2% every two years. Analysis indicates these reforms could raise home ownership rates and save renters billions. Bandt criticized Labor's $33 billion housing plan as insufficient and is also advocating for dental care to be included in Medicare, funded by higher corporate taxes.

The most interesting relation that a lawyer holds to the community, outside of his technical occupation, is that of a legislator. Lawyers were the chief authors of the Constitution of the United States and of all the state constitutions. It seems natural that lawyers should predominate in the government. They framed the former instrument. They both make and interpret the law. Every time the text is in italics, it is a direct quote from the book. Lawyers control every branch of the republican form of government: legislative, executive, and judicial. The influence of the lawyers is enormous, for good or for evil. <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/c393f669a3c9aa7dda63b49217016703eac9e26096eb512803a07fe7b8f999c1.png"> The lawyer has the supreme power of direction in the general exercise, commencement, and conduct of litigated or other legal matters. It lies with him to suggest and to direct. There is no arbiter over him but his conscience. The duty of a lawyer is threefold: to the state, as an officer and citizen; to the court, as an officer and adviser; and to his client, as a fiduciary. The crude sentiments of the people must be filtered through the lawyers, first as politicians, then as legislators, and afterwards as lawyers and judges. Since lawyers are in charge of every government branch as ‘elected officials’ in representation of the people, education about morality and their duties and responsibilities is fundamental since in their hands lies the monopoly of violence held by the government. Without contingent arrangements with lawyers, their power would become oppressive and tyrannical. ## **THE PROBLEM** > “Permit me to issue and control the currency of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.” Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812) 1. Money was placed above rightness, truth, and justice. The incentive structure is inverted, and it's detrimental. Society is morally bankrupt above and below. Institutions are no better than the individuals who compose them. 2. Common law was replaced by commercial code (encryption). Adding complexity, inefficiencies, costs, and capacity to trick and twist the law. The incentive structure is broken. Cheating pays more than playing clean; we have more lawyers but less justice. 3. The lawyer is not educated about the spirit of the profession, his duty, and the form of government he’s supposed to protect. The interest of the client is put above the interest of the court and the nation. Jurisprudence is taught instead of elementary law. INSTITUTIONS CANNOT BE BETTER THAN THE MEMBERS OF WHICH THEY ARE COMPOSED. THE GOVERNMENT IS NO DIFFERENT. The combined acts of a body of lawyers, oft repeated, like an army of worms, silently and secretly gnawing at the foundation of a great and magnificent structure, will gradually but surely cause it to give way and tumble into ruins. It is perhaps not going too far to assert that the lawyers, as a class, are largely answerable for the minimum of respect and obedience that the public has for the law. ### 1. Money was placed above rightness, truth, and justice. Commercialism and materialism have placed money above everything else, including the human. This has completely demoralized society in every aspect, from government and justice to education, architecture, medicine, nutrition, and so on. This has a common denominator: the quality of the currency. As the quality of the currency evaporates, so does the values of the people. But money and currency are inanimate and dead objects; the real actors are the humans trading and using that money. The ‘fiat money’ we use these days is a result of codified law, a legal fiction for money, a commercial contract paper to exchange goods and services, and a creature of the codified public and private law. This fiat currency has enabled its possessors to buy, or secure, political and social positions, which should be attained only by real merit, refinement, and learning. Today judicial systems do not provide justice, newspapers and mainstream media do not provide the truth, today banks do not protect your money, today medical treatment does not cure you, etc. Profit is placed above everything else. > It was evident that materialism completely controlled the economic structure, the ultimate goal of which was for the individual to become part of a system that provided him with economic security at the expense of his soul, mind, and body. > > Manly P. Hall, 1988 Society was morally bankrupted by materialistic ideologies and human institutions that are no better than the individuals who compose them. No judicial action can be put in motion without the sanction of some lawyer. The lawyer appears everywhere and in all stages of business transactions but also in family and other private and delicate matters as the trusted advisor and friend of his client. There is a moral corruption, equally as bad in its results upon the judges, the bar, and the community. ### 2. The incentive structure is inverted, and it's detrimental. Moral relativism justifies every wrongdoing since ‘there’s no objective difference between right and wrong.’ How can you have justice if you can justify every wrongdoing and there’s no moral compass? But if being a member of a club or friends with the judge gives you an edge, how can you have excellence, meritocracy, and justice? The incentive is to short-cup your way, to cheat, to manipulate the game and law to your advantage to get economic stability. If you want to have justice and great institutions, you need to educate their members in a high level of morality, ethics, and purpose… The commercial code replaced common law. The difference between a common-law lawyer and the practitioner under the Code is the difference between a surgeon and a butcher. Codification has produced more material to aid dishonest clients than the common law supplied. The lawyers as a body are morally worse than their professional ancestors. The lawyers of the past believed the constitution was adaptable; those of the present regard it as elastic. Laws have accumulated really fast, creating inextricable confusion and doubt. Making justice was turned into a thing of doubt and change. Instead of seeking the truth, the courts and the bar are engaged in the pursuit of technicality and form. A precedent can be found on any side of any subject that anyone chooses to espouse. The ratio of lawyers has multiplied four times since the law was codified and its complexity increased. The code was adopted in New York in 1848. Argentina's Commercial Code was first adopted by the Province of Buenos Aires in 1859 and later as the national code in 1862. In 1850 there was 1 lawyer per 1000 citizens in the United States. Now there is 1 in 256. The excessive number of lawyers is detrimental, both to the community and the morale of the profession. It creates, encourages, and continues illegal, unfounded, and fraudulent practices, demands, and litigations, because necessarily many of the lawyers depend not upon professional knowledge and accomplishments but upon sharpness and cunning. In the effort to sustain themselves, much unnecessary and unfounded litigation is inaugurated, and many disgraceful practices are engendered. Let anyone consider the effect of the forty or fifty thousand legal agents spending their lives distorting and prostituting the forms of justice, misapplying and perverting its principles, and undermining the constitution and laws, and they can make a fairly accurate calculation as to the longevity of the system of government under which they exist and thrive. Cunning and trickery have replaced real knowledge and ethics. The modern code lawyer knows little of elementary law, but he carries, as a soldier would a knapsack, a memory filled with sections of codes and adjudicated cases. Sheltered in the grip of his office, the lawyer can always, insidiously and secretly, deflect the course of justice and defraud the law. It is difficult to detect him; he is representing another’s interest and is not responsible for his client’s morals or frauds. To say nothing of the extra cost and expenses, the manifold delays and intricacies of legal procedure, the attempt to simplify has been to muddle, confound, and destroy—to produce a race of pygmy lawyers, chattering and quarreling over the meaning of words in the Code. The ones who benefit from codification are the same ones who benefit from fiat currencies and central banks. They have used the same strategy in both cases: create a problem, manipulate public opinion and make them demand the ‘solution’ they have already prepared—codification of law, central banks, etc. Time has shown that the public was manipulated and that the solutions that was sold to them only increased the size of the problem they were ‘trying’ to fix. Picture the lawyers training themselves in a school of dishonesty, trickery, and chicanery, diverting and stopping the machinery of the law, prostituting the forms of justice for gain, selling their knowledge, ability, experience, and such talent as they may possess to the client who pays most for the service, and resorting to every device of cunning and deceit to gain their end! Do such lawyers exist? Do such practices prevail? Unfortunately, yes. In the first rank of the profession can be found many lawyers whose services are sought only to enable guilty men to escape punishment; only to open a door for others to avoid the consequences of the civil law and of their contracts; only to defeat and evade the legislative will and public policy; only to show their clients how to cheat, defraud, vilify, and defame without penalty or damage. His profession consists of thwarting the law instead of enforcing it. The modern idea of a great lawyer is one who can most successfully manipulate the law and the facts. The public no longer calls them “great” but “successful” lawyers. Not a great jurist or profound student, but a successful practitioner. The more desperate the case he wins, the greater his reputation. It is the common belief, inside and outside of the profession, that the most brilliant and learned of the lawyers are employed to defeat or strangle justice. In this view, every lawyer might be regarded as an intellectual prostitute whose mind, time, experience, knowledge, and influence can be hired and occupied by any stranger who desires to comply with his terms as to fees. There is nothing secret or underhand about this part of the lawyer’s business. It has the approval of the people everywhere. In fact, the community looks with perfect complacency and composure upon a transaction in which the leading lawyer sells his talent, his knowledge, his time, and his influence to the most corrupt or infamous individual in the land. The lawyer is deliberately made an instrument to thwart the law and justice—and he knows it. He uses the machinery of the law to accomplish results contrary to justice, truth, and right. When the laws can be easily thwarted, the moral sense of the whole community is deadened. The incentive for justice was inverted and destroyed. ### 3. The lawyer is not educated about the spirit of the profession. The lawyer’s power arises from the necessity of political organization; he is the official and authorized agent that puts in motion the machinery of the law. In the commencement of suits, the lawyer has need, therefore, of honesty, learning, prudence, and patriotism. It rests with him to preserve the purity of the legal system; to separate the chaff of fraud, exaggeration, and doubt from the wheat of fact and truth. The government exists for the people, not the people for the government. American governments were organized by the people to provide the people a peaceful way of resolving conflicts and trading peacefully, providing justice and the protection of private property and equality under the law. The public is taxed for the general expenses of the courts, among other things. Here’s the secret, -the cornerstone- of all legislation. The goal is to have an easy and understandable set of rules that everyone can understand: to make as few laws as possible; for, in all normal and sound conditions of society, that country is best governed which is least governed. But codification has done the opposite: add complexity and create thousands of codified laws. Here’s the secret, -the cornerstone- of all legislation. The legislator should, therefore, be a man who understands the origin and nature of society- familiar with past and existing laws and history- with such practical and discriminating judgment as enables him to comprehend the wants and necessities of his fellow men. Still, none of the formal oaths defines the duties of the lawyer. Everything is now left to the moral perception of the lawyer. THE LOYALTY TO ITS CLIENT (THE HAND THAT FEEDS HIS MOUTH) IS PLACED ABOVE THE ALLIANCE TO THE STATE (THE HAND THAT FEEDS THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM). It is not the exception, but the rule, for the lawyer to surrender his whole mental, intellectual, and physical power to his client’s cause. ## REMEDY To produce lawyers who can perform their duties, they should be taught to cultivate a moral sense; the nature and object of law; the nature and duties of citizenship; the nature and duties of a legislator; but above and beyond everything else, they should be taught the real mission of the lawyer - which includes professional ethics. These fundamental requisites to the making of a full lawyer are almost entirely overlooked in all of the courses of education followed in law offices, law schools, and academies or colleges. Lawyers are made up to be mere instruments for their clients, without any attention being paid to their duties to the State. The fact is extraordinary, nay, incredible. But it is true. The curriculum of legal study is based upon codification. O means the sentiment of codification., pervades and influences all legal education. If the moral sense of the community, which is another name for public opinion, should be maintained to the highest possible degree, an educated Bar, and a free, pure and intelligent Press, are the factors which can do much to accomplish all these results. But this conscience, which should guide the lawyer, comes from training and education. Trained in the knowledge of human nature, when he enters the field of jurisprudence and politics, his acts and opinions should be of the greatest value to the people. I would build up a race of pure lawyers, as far removed from commercialism as possible. The country needs such a class more than ever.

## O que são os juros? Os juros são um reflexo da **preferência temporal dos indivíduos**: o valor que damos ao consumo no presente em comparação ao consumo no futuro. Em termos práticos, se alguém te pede dinheiro emprestado hoje e promete devolver só daqui a um ano, faz sentido você querer algo em troca por ter que esperar e postergar o consumo — esse “algo a mais” é o juro. Nas palavras da Escola Austríaca, os juros **não são um fenômeno artificial ou técnico**, mas sim um fato da realidade humana: **tempo tem valor**. E como o tempo passa para todos, a preferência temporal é um traço universal. Logo, juros sempre existirão — e isso independe de moeda, bancos ou qualquer arranjo institucional. ## Juros e poupança Num mercado genuinamente livre, os juros emergem da relação entre dois grupos: 1. **Poupadores**, que abrem mão do consumo presente para acumular bens que serão utilizados no futuro. 2. **Investidores**, que tomam emprestados esses recursos para realizar projetos que renderão frutos adiante. Quando há **muita poupança**, a taxa de juros tende a cair, pois há mais capital disponível para investimentos. Quando há **pouca poupança**, os juros sobem, pois o capital é escasso. Simples assim. É uma **dinâmica voluntária**, descentralizada e natural — e, portanto, intolerável para os engenheiros sociais e planejadores centrais. ## Como sabotar tudo O problema começa quando uma entidade com poder coercitivo — **como um banco central**, como o **Federal Reserve (FED)** — resolve **interferir nesse processo natural**. Em vez de permitir que os juros sejam determinados pelas preferências temporais das pessoas, o FED **manipula a taxa básica de juros da economia**, criando a ilusão de que há mais poupança do que realmente existe. Como ele faz isso? Simples: **imprimindo dinheiro do nada** e injetando esse capital nos mercados financeiros por meio da compra de títulos, operações com bancos e linhas de crédito. Essa expansão monetária distorce os sinais econômicos: os juros caem artificialmente, mesmo sem um aumento real na poupança. O crédito se torna barato — mas ilusoriamente. ## O efeito prático dessa mentira monetária Empresas e investidores, enganados por esses juros baixos, começam a empreender projetos de longo prazo como se houvesse **capital real disponível** para sustentá-los. Shoppings, fábricas, startups, construções, tudo parece viável. A sensação é de prosperidade: mais empregos, salários, consumo e lucros. Mas há um detalhe crucial: **a preferência temporal da população não mudou**. As pessoas continuam consumindo no presente — e **não há bens de capital suficientes** para suprir os dois desejos ao mesmo tempo: o consumo presente e os investimentos de longo prazo. Com o tempo, a realidade bate à porta: os preços dos bens de capital sobem, os custos dos projetos disparam, os empréstimos se tornam mais caros e muitos empreendimentos tornam-se inviáveis. Então vem a quebradeira: demissões, falências e recessão. Todo o “crescimento” anterior se revela uma miragem inflacionária. ## Ciclos econômicos: uma criação do Estado Esse processo de **boom artificial seguido de colapso inevitável** é o que Mises e Hayek explicaram como o **Ciclo Econômico Austríaco**. Não é um “erro do mercado”. É o resultado direto da **distorção dos sinais econômicos provocada pela manipulação dos juros**. E o culpado tem nome: o banco central — neste caso, o **FED**. O FED não é um árbitro neutro. Ele é um **planejador central disfarçado de autoridade monetária**. Seu objetivo real é manter o sistema financeiro vivo à base de impressora. Ele socializa prejuízos, distorce o cálculo econômico e destrói o processo de alocação racional de capital. Tudo isso enquanto afirma estar “estabilizando a economia”. **A consequência disso?** Inflação, endividamento, má alocação de recursos e, acima de tudo, **roubo institucionalizado da poupança das pessoas comuns**. O juro baixo artificial é um imposto oculto. É uma forma disfarçada de pilhagem, uma transferência silenciosa de riqueza dos poupadores — que trabalharam e se abstiveram do consumo — para os primeiros recebedores do novo dinheiro, como bancos e governos. Essa manipulação é um confisco disfarçado, que destrói capital real e sabota o esforço honesto de quem poupa. ## O caminho da correção Para que os juros cumpram sua função genuína — sinalizar a escassez ou abundância de capital — é preciso **eliminar a interferência coercitiva** dos bancos centrais. Em um mercado verdadeiramente livre, sem manipulação monetária, **os juros seriam determinados pela poupança real, e não por burocratas em Washington.** Isso exige o fim do monopólio estatal sobre a moeda. Exige a destruição da base legal que sustenta o cartel bancário. E exige uma transição para formas de dinheiro que **não podem ser inflacionadas por decreto**, como o ouro ou — melhor ainda — o **Bitcoin**. ## Para finalizar Os juros não são uma variável a ser “ajustada” por tecnocratas com PhDs. Eles são a expressão natural das escolhas humanas diante do tempo. **Qualquer tentativa de manipular essa realidade só pode gerar desequilíbrios, crises e sofrimento econômico.** Enquanto o FED existir, ciclos econômicos serão inevitáveis. Não por causa do mercado — mas **porque um punhado de burocratas acredita que sabe mais do que milhões de pessoas agindo voluntariamente.** Liberdade monetária é a única solução. E a destruição do banco central é apenas o começo.

 **Arceus** was born from nothing, not even chaos.  Arceus soon made **Dialga**, **Palkia**, and then **Giratina**. Dialga created time, Palkia created space, and Giratina created anti-matter. And thus, the Universe was born. Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina began battling and as a result were banished to their individual realms by Arceus. Arceus then created **Groudon**, **Kyogre**, and **Rayquaza**. Groudon formed the huge celestial bodies known as planets, and the trio chose one to inhabit with life. Arceus created the sun, then shot off across the universe to create all the many stars.  But he had learnt from experience, so he tasked Rayquaza as the peace-keeper.  The trio set to work, with Groudon raising land violently, creating volcanoes and mountains; Kyogre, creating the seas, where the land was not, and Rayquaza making an atmosphere full of 'air'. Sure enough, Kyogre's waters started to corrode Groudon's land, and this angered him. The two battled, but Rayquaza broke it up, and sent Groudon deep underground, while Kyogre was sent deep into the oceans, before returning out into the ozone layer. Soon, Arceus returned, and it tried to make life, but failed miserably. So it created **Regigigas**. Regigigas moved the continents with its bare hands, piecing them together like a puzzle.  When the final chunk of land was put into place, the world sprung to life, with grass and trees sprouting everywhere. Finally, the world was ready for life. Arceus sent Regigigas into a coma until it was needed once more. It then created thousands of Pokémon to inhabit the world. These Pokémon belonged to one of five races. **Celebi** &nbsp;  **Jirachi** &nbsp;  **Mew** &nbsp;  **Manaphy** &nbsp;  or **Victini** &nbsp;  It also created **Latios** and **Latias**, its personal agents, whom it sent flying through the universe in search of a species with great intelligence to live in harmony with its creations, before leaving once more to regain energy. &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  After much searching, Latias found an intelligent alien species known as **Deoxys**. They were bacterial but advanced. They chose a few of them and brought them back to their world. &nbsp;&nbsp; For a while, things were fine, and the Deoxys and natives lived together in harmony. Until the Deoxys discovered they could 'infect' the natives and use their bodies. Suddenly, they were all infecting a host, and then war broke out. The Mew, Jirachi, Manaphy, Celebi, and Victini battled their infected brethren to set them free, while the Deoxys sought total dominance. The war raged on for many centuries, until there were but a handful left of each species. Arceus returned and destroyed the last of the Deoxys, but the damage was done. The population of the world was little more than 20. The Celebi retreated to the forests, hiding amongst the trees and in time. The Manaphy retreated to the sea, the Jirachi fell asleep, only waking up every so often, and the Victini hid in far-off lands. This left only the Mew. During the war, **three Mew had hidden under lakes** in search of enlightenment. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Leaving only a handful of Mew left to roam. They were alone. The war had left the land in ruins; some places were battle-scarred beyond repair. Instead of lush grass, there were harsh deserts. This angered Groudon, sending him into a rage. Volcanoes spurted and spewed lava everywhere. One day, a Mew was floating along when a sudden flow of lava approached it. Thinking quickly, Mew unleashed energy inside it that even Arceus didn't know about. It morphed the lava into a form and gave it LIFE. The first **Heatran** was created. &nbsp; Arceus sensed this and had an idea. Gathering all the able Mew, it channeled immense power through them, using their life-giving abilities to create more living creatures. These were crude and unfinished, prototypes of what was to come. **Aerodactyl** filled the sky, while **Lileep**, **Cranidos**, and **Shieldon** roamed the land.  **Anorith**, **Omanyte**, and **Kabuto** populated the seas. &nbsp;&nbsp; Arceus also bestowed upon most of these beings the power to 'evolve' into more powerful creatures if the correct environment was met. Finally, Latias returned once more. They had been far more thorough in their searching than before. However, Arceus had told them to stop, but guilt kept them going. They were determined to complete their job. They brought humans from another planet. Basic but intelligent beings who definitely lacked the ability to infect anything. The humans settled in quickly, initially living relatively separately from the animals. But Arceus wasn't convinced; he felt the need to test them. First, Arceus created **Articuno**, who he ordered to send the planet into an Ice Age. &nbsp;&nbsp; Articuno froze the planet, killing many creatures, but giving birth to new ones like **Mamoswine**. &nbsp;&nbsp; To Arceus' pleasure, the humans adapted, creating structures out of ice and snow. The severe drop in temperature awoke Regigigas, who rose high above the land and saw what was happening. The humans instantly fell in love with Regigigas, worshipping the titan and creating **statues of it from ice**. Touched by this, Regigigas found one of the statues and **breathed life into it** before returning to sleep. &nbsp;&nbsp; However, this scared the humans, and they locked it away in a cave. Realizing that the Ice Age did not affect the humans, Arceus created another bird, **Moltres**, and ordered it to send the world into a drought. The ice melted, and the water evaporated as the temperature rose higher and higher. &nbsp;&nbsp; While the humans continued to adapt, using the skills they had learned with the ice and applying them to rock, the creatures weren't as lucky. The Mamoswine and other creatures that adapted to the cold died off, but new ones such as huge insects like **Yanmega** became common. &nbsp;&nbsp; Once again, the drought awoke Regigigas, who once again saw a **statue of himself**. Thinking the humans would have learned from last time, Regigigas gave it life. But rumors of the living statue had been passed down and exaggerated since last time, and once again, the scared humans locked away this second 'Regi'. &nbsp;&nbsp; When the drought finally wore off, Arceus began the third and final test. He created one more legendary bird, **Zapdos**. Zapdos created powerful electrical storms all across the land. &nbsp;&nbsp; The storms killed off the last of the prototype creatures, leaving only the humans and the few pets they brought from their home land. One extremely intelligent man managed to harness the power of electricity, creating the first electronic device. Of course, Regigigas awoke one final time. He discovered that the humans were far more evolved than expected, able to harness metals and electricity, albeit at a somewhat primitive level. More out of tradition than anything else, Regigigas created the **third Regi out of steel**. The humans were no longer scared of this Regi, but they sealed it away with the other two nonetheless, knowing that one day someone powerful enough would tame them. &nbsp;&nbsp; Arceus was baffled. The humans had passed all three tests of harsh weather. Zapdos calmed the storms, and the world became peaceful once again. Arceus herded the Mew together for a second time. Having learned the strengths and weaknesses of his prototype beings, Arceus was ready to go farther. Siphoning its huge power through the small pink beings, Arceus filled the world with hundreds of species of creatures that would become known as 'Pokémon'. They were more diverse than it had ever imagined, filling the skies, land, and sea. The life energies even reacted with the sun rays and moonlight, creating **Ho-oh** and **Lugia** respectively. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Some radiated out of the planet's moon, creating a population of **Clefairy**, as well as **Cresselia** on the light side and **Darkrai** on the dark side of the moon. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Lugia befriended the three elemental birds, and they followed him like a leader. Meanwhile, humans started to get closer to these new creatures, using them as slaves, weapons, or pets. The term 'Pokémon' arose from strange travelers and stuck. The first **Pokéballs** were created from **Apricorns**, and the bond between human and Pokémon was complete. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ho-oh took residence at the top of the Bell Tower. It was jealous of Lugia's trio of birds and wanted one of its own. One day, three Kimono girls entered its tower with a **Jolteon**, **Flareon**, and **Vaporeon**. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ho-oh burnt down the tower with its Sacred Fire. Most escaped, but the three Pokémon were trapped and perished in the flames. Ho-oh soon resurrected them as **Entei**, **Raikou**, and **Suicune**. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Humans continued to evolve and take over the land, and Pokémon continued to work alongside and for them for many, many years. ## **That is the story of the Pokémon World.**

#### **¿Qué es un Jaque Mate?** **Jaque mate** es la jugada decisiva que termina la partida. Ocurre cuando el rey está bajo amenaza directa (en _jaque_) y no existe ningún movimiento legal que lo salve: ni capturar la pieza atacante, ni interponer una defensa, ni huir a una casilla segura. A diferencia de otras piezas, el rey **nunca puede ser capturado** - su caída sería el fin del juego. Por eso, cuando no hay escape posible, la partida concluye inmediatamente. No es necesario "comerlo", pues su destino ya está sellado. **¿Cómo se llega al mate?** Requiere: 1. **Amenaza inminente**: Una o más piezas atacando al rey enemigo.  2. **Bloqueo total**: Todas las casillas de escape controladas por el rival.  3. **Sin defensa posible**: Ninguna pieza puede interceptar el ataque.  > Ejemplo básico: El _Mate del Pasillo_ (con torre o dama en la última fila, donde el rey no puede escapar por estar bloqueado por sus propias piezas). --- #### **1. El primer mandamiento ajedrecístico: Buscar el mate** En una partida, todo movimiento debería comenzar con una pregunta esencial: _¿Existe un jaque mate en esta posición?_ Tanto para uno mismo como para el rival. Si no lo hay, la partida se desarrolla en torno a la ventaja material o el control posicional. Pero este orden no es arbitrario: **un descuido táctico puede arruinar una posición dominante, mientras que un mate pasado por alto significa la derrota inmediata**. Un ejemplo clásico es el _Mate del Pastor_ (1.e4 e5 2.Ac4 Cc6 3.Dh5 Cf6?? 4.Dxf7#).  Las blancas ganan porque las negras, al enfocarse únicamente en el desarrollo, ignoraron la amenaza mortal. ➡ **Reflexión**: _En la estrategia, como en la vida, lo urgente (sobrevivir) precede a lo importante (triunfar)._ --- #### **2. Filosofía del tablero: Cuando las ventajas no bastan** Un rey solitario puede escapar eternamente si el rival no sabe dar mate. De igual forma, en la existencia humana, las ventajas - ya sean talento, recursos o oportunidades - carecen de valor si no se materializan en acciones decisivas. - _¿De qué sirve dominar el centro del tablero si no se sabe convertir esa ventaja en un ataque?_ - _¿De qué sirven los privilegios si no se usan para construir algo significativo?_ El ajedrez, al igual que la vida, no premia la acumulación, sino la ejecución. --- #### **3. El instinto de supervivencia: Entre el ataque y la resistencia** El miedo a la derrota desencadena reacciones viscerales: ataques desesperados, defensas obsesivas o incluso abandonos prematuros. Pero estas respuestas también revelan verdades profundas sobre la naturaleza humana: - **Supervivencia no siempre significa violencia**: Un rey acorralado puede refugiarse tras sus piezas, como un estratega que elige la paciencia sobre la confrontación. ¿Es cobardía o sabiduría? - **El peligro del ego**: La arrogancia (_"debo ganar rápido"_) conduce a errores irreparables. La humildad (_"resistiré hasta que el rival se equivoque"_) puede convertir una derrota anunciada en una salvación. ➡ **Reflexión**: _El tablero no miente. Cada jugada expone los instintos más profundos del jugador: miedo, ambición o templanza._ *********************** ## Recursos en linea - Jaque mate - Chess.com https://www.chess.com/es/terms/jaque-mate-ajedrez - Los 10 mates más rápidos que existen - Chess.com https://www.chess.com/es/article/view/jaques-mates-rapidos-ajedrez - Aprendiendo a realizar jaque mates básicos - Lichess.org https://lichess.org/study/iQ5KuZ0y/g87kp3nS - Ejercicios Mate en 1 - Lichess.org https://lichess.org/study/buY7UIv2/wze0wPRL - Patrones de mates - Lichess.org https://lichess.org/study/HqgY3Z1I/Sv4QhDIb - Ejercicios Mate en 5 - Lichess.org https://lichess.org/study/VQEv9Cxr ********************* #article #chess #ajedrez #elsalvador #ajedrezelsalvador #somachess

So, this is the way I see things... Bitcoin’s rise is not merely a technological revolution—it serves as a masterclass in game theory unfolding in real time. At its core, game theory examines how individuals make decisions when outcomes rely on the choices of others. Bitcoin adoption adheres to this model precisely. Imagine a global network where each new participant increases the value and security of the system. Early adopters take a risk, hoping others will follow. The incentive to join grows stronger as more people opt in—whether out of curiosity, conviction, or FOMO. No one wants to be last to the party, especially if that party rewrites financial history. Here’s how the game theory of adoption plays out: - 🧠 **First movers take risks but gain the most**—they enter when the price is low and the potential is high. - 👀 **Everyone watches everyone else**—people, companies, and countries are scanning the field for the next move. - **The network effect kicks in**—the more players are in the game, the more valuable and secure the system becomes. - ⏳ **Waiting can cost you**—as adoption grows, the price of entry rises, making hesitation expensive. - **No one wants to be left behind**—especially in a global economy battling inflation and instability. Game theory tells us that smart players make decisions that bring them the most goodies. As Bitcoin gets more popular, it’s like a party that’s really heating up, and you don’t want to be the one left outside! In this thrilling game, the early bird doesn’t just get the worm—it lands a juicy opportunity in a brand-new way to spend money. So don’t dawdle; now’s the time to jump in and grab your piece of this financial fiesta!

Throughout my inquiry into the science of meditation, I often ponder why meditation is not a part of our cultural norm. It is so ancient and beneficial, yet it is a lost art. Sure, it is still alive in regions such as India and Eastern Asia, yet even those cultures have become so engulfed by western culture that the dedicated practice of this art seems lost to the wayside. I began to think that the reason western philosophical tradition became more popular than eastern traditions was because one was easily transcribed into heritable texts. All ancient cultures explored philosophical questions, attempting to unravel the mystery of reality. We all know of Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle, who wrote their ideas down into books that sparked a long lineage of philosophers and writings. The tradition of writing down the attempted understandings of reality contrasts with the East in some ways. The opening chapter in the Dao De Jing, the introductory book of Daoism written by Laozi (老子, laozi) in ancient China, states (老子, 1994): ``` The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao The name that can be named is not the eternal name The nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth The named is the mother of myriad things Thus, constantly without desire, one observes its essence Constantly with desire, one observes its manifestations These two emerge together but differ in name The unity is said to be the mystery Mystery of mysteries, the door to all wonders ``` Daoism involves mindfulness practices such as meditation and Qi Gong that cultivated a sense of understanding of reality through these practices. It is a philosophy that claims the understanding of reality, not through analytical thinking but meditation. Therefore, the wisdom achieved is not easily described in words, hence the poetic and cryptic nature of the Dao De Jing. In the East, the ideas are not easily transcribable, contrary to the West, indicating why modern society is dominated by western thought and not meditative practices because communities learn from our ancestors' writings. Westerners, in my mind, took a different route in understanding reality, or so I thought. My ideas changed when I read two fascinating books: The Immortality Key by Brain C. Muraresku and In the Dark Places of Wisdom by Peter Kingsley. These books argue that the ancient ancestors of the West sought wisdom through the same means as the ancestors of the East, and we have just forgotten. A defining trait of western thought is the use of logic to deduce the nature of reality. Before the time of Plato, there was an ancient Greek philosopher known as Parmenides. He is known as the discoverer of logic. In my mind, logic is not something discovered. Yet, the title given to Parmenides speaks volumes to his contributions to the foundations of Greek philosophy and culture. Contrary to the philosophers who followed him, he did not write a book of ideas. Instead, he wrote a poem. A cryptic one, nonetheless providing a distinct similarity between Parmenides and Laozi. The cryptic nature of his poetry has led to much scrutiny by scholars. They seek to understand his ideas from an analytical point of view and fail to do so—a method of analysis expected from classicists. However, Peter Kingsley takes a perspective that is far more conducive to the poem's true intention. In his book, Kingsley describes Parmenides as an Iatromantis, a prophetic healer of sorts with ties to Apollo who practiced incubation (Kingsley, 1999). Incubation is where an individual would lay down (as if a corpse) in a cave for extended periods until they had a sort of dream where their body descended into the underworld then came back. This experience could be used as a form of healing (Apollo was also the god of medicine) and granted wisdom derived from the gods. The insight could be philosophical and applied to the creations of laws (Kingsley, 1999). Incubation was not only associated with Parmenides either but also with Pythagoras (Kingsley, 1999). Surprising is the stark similarities between meditation of the East and incubation of the West. It seems that culturally significant individuals from the ancient world, regardless of geographical location, used the same method to achieve great wisdom. Incubation may not have been the only means by which the ancient Greeks sought to achieve the wisdom of the gods. In the book The Immortality Key, Muraresku argues that during the Eleusinian Mysteries, the ancient Greeks consumed a beer spiked with psychedelic chemicals possibly derived from ergot (Muraresku, 2020). The experience was a means of going into the underworld, dying before dying, and coming back with greater wisdom and immortality (Muraresku, 2020). Muraresku further argues that this tradition continued into the Christian age with wine and holy communion. In double-blind studies, psychedelics induce incredible life-changing spiritual experiences (Griffiths et al., 2006). Both meditation and psychedelics seem to deactivate certain brain areas within the Default Mode Network (Farb et al., 2007; Palhano-Fontes et al., 2015; Scheibner et al., 2017; Speth et al., 2016). It is easy to draw a plausible connection of psychedelics as biotechnology capable of inducing, if not temporarily, the experience achieved by meditation and incubation. This experience, which reaches an altered form of consciousness, grants a spiritual understanding of great insight. At least, the Greeks and Romans likely thought so. In The Immortality Key, I learned that the Greeks had two words for the English "know." There is a Greek word that describes a more reflective, analytical, and logical form of knowing. Then there is "gnosis," which describes a more intuitive and experiential state of knowing (Muraresku, 2020). Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, their knowledge lies within the former, whereas Parmenides and Pythagoras were in the later "gnosis" camp. I suppose this dichotomy could be voiced in the difference between "knowledge" and "wisdom" in English. Ironically, we derived our word "know" from" gnosis." In this context, do we truly know much of anything? When it comes to archeology, nothing is certain. I cannot claim that these researchers are correct. Nonetheless, it is common knowledge that many cultures across the ancient world used meditation and psychedelics for various spiritual and ceremonial purposes. It existed in China, Japan, India, the Toltec people of southern Mexico, the Amazon, and other places. Why would the foundational cultures of the western world be any different? I remember learning that scholars point to the crusades as a pivotal moment that leads to the development of the Renaissance in Europe. The reason was that Europeans had lost connection to the writings of ancient Greek and Roman society during the last age. It wasn't until the Europeans invaded the Middle East, andacquired the texts from the great libraries there that a massive boom in cultural prosperity and development began. Perhaps we are due for another remembering. References Farb, N. A. S., Segal, Z. v., Mayberg, H., Bean, J., Mckeon, D., Fatima, Z., & Anderson, A. K. (2007).

## **How I’m Training Around An Elbow Injury** My right elbow is a mess. I hurt it wrestling with a friend on a wooden deck. It's easy to avoid injuries in wrestling...if you only wrestle on the mat. I guess I don't like it easy. To take it a step further, I made it much worse by doing straight arm ring exercises. C'mon Jordan! Straight arm ring exercises while your elbow already hurts...pure buffoonery. Alas, here I am. I could sit out from jiujitsu, but instead, I’m adjusting how I train so I don’t lose progress. Injuries are part of the game, but how you adapt defines your progress. Most people see injuries as setbacks. But they're actually opportunities to refine your game. These opportunities force you to find ways to keep improving even when things aren’t perfect. Things don't need to be perfect if you have some **G.R.I.T.** Let's break this approach down. --- ## G – Grapple (Smart) *Don't stop training. Modify it. Drill with a dummy, watch tape, or do technique you can handle. Buy a brace if need be. Stay in the game.* There's nothing worse than forgetting everything you worked hard to learn. So don't let it happen. Keep rolling. Do what you can without pain. Buy a brace if you think it will help. I wear [Anaconda's Elbow Brace](https://anacondafightwear.co/products/anaconda-elbow-brace) when I roll to make sure my elbow stays safe and pain-free. I stop if I experience pain and don't allow myself to go 100%. Ignore your ego and give your body the pain-free work that it needs. On days when it's fatigued, I drill with my dummy and watch instructionals so I can improve my technique. Don't sit around. Grapple. But do it smart. --- ## R – Restore Movement *Move the injured part pain-free to get blood flowing. Restore function over time.* If you sit around and don't move your injured body part, it will heal slower. Healing requires the nutrients that blood brings. And blood won't bring as much of the goods if it's not recruited. Rehab your injury to give it the blood boost it needs. I diagnosed myself with Olecranon (Elbow) Bursitis. I've been doing exercises recommended [here](https://youtu.be/71ISxtSxgds) to help it heal faster. I only do the exercises that are pain-free for me right now. And I'm moving on to more difficult ones as my elbow condition improves. Waiting for an injury to heal is a slow, frustrating process. Be patient and stay consistent with your rehab. --- ## I – Integrate Strength *Once pain-free, begin light strengthening. Train around the injury, not through it.* Instagram recently sniped me with an ad for something called [The Torque Bar](https://thetibbarguy.com/products/the-torque-bar). The benefits from using it are endless: - It's a single tool that targets forearms, wrists, elbows, biceps, triceps, and shoulders. - It has a thick knurled handle that enhances grip strength and forearm activation. - It improves rotational strength (supination/pronation) for sports. - It helps with tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, wrist tendinitis, and rotator cuff issues. - It strengthens stabilizing muscles to reduce joint hyperextension and strain risks. So of course I had to buy it. A couple weeks of these [torque bar exercises](https://youtu.be/tUDgqpFcJ9k) and I'm hooked. It's strengthening my neglected arm muscles and my elbow without any pain. It's a key piece of my routine going forward and I highly recommend it for others. The best part is that it doesn't agitate my injury and it's helping me get stronger. That's the goal here. --- ## T – Thrive with Nutrition & Sleep *Eat clean to recover faster. Sleep well. Don’t waste healing energy on processed junk.* This is the number one lever to pull in your healing journey. And also a great way to live. ### Eat Clean I eat healthy foods like ground beef, wild caught salmon, fruit, and more whole foods 80% of the time. The days I eat clean are the days my elbow feels it best. The other 20% of the time – when I eat some processed, junk food – my elbow aches. It makes me feel like I'm back at square one. The consequences of junk food are astounding. I've put the 80/20 rule on hold and changed it to 95/5 to help this injury heal faster. ### Sleep Well My sleep has been horrible. My daughter was born 3 weeks ago and she's been fussy. I'm getting 3-6hrs of sleep a night. It's definitely not helping my elbow. Sleep is the most important piece of the human equation. Bad sleep can result in - Low energy levels - Increased risk of injury - Poor eating habits - Lack of productivity It sets the tone for each day. If you take anything away from this, let it be that you need to optimize for sleep. If you're in a situation like me, control what you can control. I have more control over my food than my sleep so that's why I'm being more disciplined with it. Once my sleep improves, I expect everything to be firing on all cylinders. --- ## The Bottom Line Injuries are opportunities to refine your game. But you need to have some **G.R.I.T.** to do it. - **G – Grapple (Smart)**:
 Don’t stop training. Change it. Drill with a dummy, watch tape, or do technique you can handle. Stay in the game. - **R – Restore Movement**:
 Move the injured part pain-free to get blood flowing. Restore function over time. - **I – Integrate Strength**: 
Once pain-free, begin light strengthening. Train around the injury, not through it. - **T – Thrive with Nutrition & Sleep**:
 Eat clean to recover faster. Sleep well. Don’t waste healing energy on processed junk. Do the above and you'll be back better than before. --- Injured and not sure what you *can* still train? Send me a message – happy to help however I can. *Original post is [here](https://www.jordanlaster.com/how-to-keep-progressing-on-the-mats-while-injured/)* *You can find more of my work on [Ghost](https://www.jordanlaster.com/) and [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAJ8Q1orv_rAeXLYm9PAf1Q)*

 Here we are again with our monthly [Magnificent Seven](https://stacker.news/AGORA#the-magnificent-seven---of-all-times), the summary giving you a hit of what you missed in the ~AGORA territory. This month, new ideas came to us to trying increase engagement within the marketplace. Thanks to all for sharing your ideas and needs. **Auctions OPEN!** First of all, @AGORA made a comprehensive [research](https://stacker.news/items/931997/r/AG) analyzing all the various types of auctions and discovering which one could be the most suitable for stackers. Published a [guide](https://stacker.news/items/933171/r/AG) that help define a first experimental auction for [Satoshi Nakamoto 50th ₿DAY Commemorative Poster](https://stacker.news/items/933454/r/AG). **Build your own Shopfront** Second, we discovered that AGORA could enable _shopfronts_ to simply showcase and link external products, one per comment. This allows, for example, @SN to have its own to showcase and collect all the past and future editions of the SNZ weekly zine, check it out [here](https://stacker.news/items/928207/r/AG). Isn't that fantastic? We found a new use case, just leveraging current functionalities! We might try to highlight the details with a how-to guide soon. Now let's check our top performing post Ads! - - - ### Top-Performing Ads This month, the most engaging ones are: * `01` [[SELL] SNZ serialized inaugural issue, 3k sats (shipping to US)](https://stacker.news/items/931308/r/AG) by @plebpoet congrats on launching this great initiative!

In today’s fast-paced, hyper-connected world, investing is no longer a solo sport. The rise of social investing has transformed the way people trade, learn, and grow their wealth. Whether you're a seasoned trader or just getting started, chances are you've already encountered [social investors](https://nvstly.com)—on Twitter, Discord, Reddit, or even in group chats. But who exactly are they? And why is NVSTly the go-to platform for this new wave of investors? Let’s break it down. ## What is a Social Investor? A social investor is someone who engages in trading or investing with a strong focus on community, transparency, and collaboration. They're not just buying and selling behind closed doors. They're: - **Sharing trades and strategies in real time** - **Following top traders to learn from their wins (and losses)** - **Collaborating with others in [Discord servers](https://nvstly.com/go/discord), Telegram groups, and social media threads** - **Using data-driven insights from the crowd to sharpen their own edge** Social investors believe that trading is better together—and they’re not wrong. ## What Do Social Investors Do? Social investors operate at the intersection of finance and social media. Here's what their day-to-day might look like: ### ✅ Share Trades Publicly They log and post their trades for the community to see—building trust, accountability, and transparency. ### ✅ Follow Traders They Trust They find top-performing traders or those with a style that resonates, then follow their moves to learn, mirror, or improve their own game. ### ✅ Collaborate & Discuss Social investors thrive on conversation—sharing opinions, chart analysis, market sentiment, and more. ### ✅ Track Performance Over Time Many use dashboards to measure their win rates, gain/loss ratios, and trade history to keep improving. ## So… How Does Social Investing Actually Work? At its core, social investing works like this: 1. **Connect with the Community** Whether it’s a Discord server, app, or forum—start engaging. 2. **Log & Share Trades** Share your trade ideas, entries/exits, or even link your brokerage to auto-share your trades in real-time. 3. **Follow & Learn from Others** Use leaderboards, performance stats, and trade insights to follow [top traders](https://nvstly.com/ranks) or promising new ones. 4. **Analyze and Improve** Get real-time feedback, stats, and charts to refine your strategy and grow your edge. That’s where NVSTly comes in. ## Why NVSTly is the Best Platform for Social Investors NVSTly wasn’t just built for social investors—it was built by them.

When it comes to the Nostr Web of Trust, several NIPs have been proposed, but the one that seemed to gather the most traction was [Trusted Assertion](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1534) by [Vitor Pamplona](https://npub.world/npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z). The idea is to have `kind:30382` represent *assertions* made about an *entity*, which could be a *pubkey*, for example. The NIP also specifies a tag called `rank`, which can be used to build some basic WoT primitives. Example event: ``` { "kind": 30382, "tags": [ ["d", "e88a6...50411"], ["rank", "89"], ["zap_amt_sent", "1000000"], ], "content": "", //... } ``` However, we quickly realized that this NIP was too limiting for what we wanted to accomplish: *real-time, personalized ranking*. To illustrate our different approaches, we will show how to replicate our [Verify Reputation](https://vertexlab.io/docs/nips/verify-reputation-dvm/) with trusted assertions. ## Verify Reputation [Verify Reputation](https://vertexlab.io/content/docs/nips/verify-reputation-dvm.md) returns: - the rank, follow count and followers count of the given `target` - its top followers by rank. All ranks are personalized to the given `source`. This “batteries included” solution helps users avoid impersonation and fraud with a single request, no matter what application they are using, be it a kind:1 client, chat app, wallet, marketplace, or more. !\[\](https://vertexlab.io/images/verify_reputation_example.png) To get the same result with trusted assertions, you would have to - Get all contact lists that contain the `target` (as a `p` tag) - Build the target’s `follower` list from those event authors - Get the trusted assertions for the target and each of the followers - Sort them by the rank provided by the trusted assertions This operation is computationally expensive, especially on mobile devices. It is clear that if the user is willing to verify and process a large number of events (potentially +100k), he can compute some (rudimentary) ranking directly on the device, without the need to trust a third party. **More generally, trusted assertions are very hard to use when one doesn’t know the pubkeys of the people he’s looking for.** **This goes fundamentally against our approach of Web of Trust, as a powerful mechanism for discovery.** --- Are you looking to add Web of Trust capabilities to your app or project?

Was haben wir damals gelacht, als jede „Miss“ ihren Wunsch nach Weltfrieden artikulierte, um ihre Chancen, zur Welt Schönsten gekürt zu werden, zu erhöhen. Was wird heute gewünscht? Solidarität? Zusammenhalt gegen den Feind? Stärke? Ich weiß es nicht.&#x20; [https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/alle-waffen-still-gestanden/s-pmO0oieSdzK?](https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/alle-waffen-still-gestanden/s-pmO0oieSdzK?color=ffd400) Ich weiß nur, dass sich Intellektuelle, Künstler, Bürger durch alle Schichten wegen zunehmender Kriegsrhetorik, Aufrüstungspläne und Rekrutierungsideen große Sorgen um unser friedliches Zusammenleben machen. So lebt auch unsere lose Reihe „friedensnoten“ wieder auf. Hören Sie heute „Alle Waffen stillgestanden!“ des Liederpoeten Yann Song King. Der inspirierte den Philosphen- und Radialfeldforscher Uli Fischer zu einem Text den Ulrich Allroggen für uns eingelesen hat.

Mux, die Hauptfigur im Film „Muxmäuschenstill“ von 2004, leidet an Rechthaberitis. Das geht so weit, dass er quasi als Verschmelzung von Denunziant, Kläger, Richter und Henker in Eigenregie Leute bestraft, die Gesetze oder Regeln verletzen - egal ob jemand zu schnell fährt, in der U-Bahn ohne Fahrschein fährt, Graffiti sprüht oder Ladendiebstahl begeht. Mux geht mit seiner Sichtweise zwar gesetzeskonform, aber er hat kein Mandat für seine Übergriffe, sagte kürzlich sinngemäß der Drehbuchautor Jan Henrik Stahlberg in einem Interview. Diese Blockwart-Mentalität verbindet man automatisch mit dem Dritten Reich, doch ihre Wurzeln liegen tiefer. In ihr steckt zugleich eine Sehnsucht nach Einigkeit wie sie Stahlberg auch in der bürgerlichen Bewegung der Romantik erkennt.&#x20; [https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/corona-schicksale-ein-buch-von-eugen-zentner?](https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/corona-schicksale-ein-buch-von-eugen-zentner?color=ffd400) Die Kehrseite dieses Harmoniestrebens ist eine Aversion gegen Differenzen, gegen abweichendes Verhalten und der Drang, dagegen vorzugehen. Nicht umsonst attestiert man den Deutschen eine starke Neigung zur Prozesshanselei. Im Alltag der meisten Leute hielten sich deren Auswüchse noch in Grenzen. Dann kam Corona. Während der sogenannten Pandemie wurde Mux zum Standard-Typus, zur Monika Mustermann des Mainstream. Die Folgen durften viele von uns am eigenen Leib erfahren. Eugen Zentner erinnert daran anhand von 15 exemplarischen Kurzgeschichten in seinem Buch „Corona-Schicksale“, das im März erschienen ist:\ [www.masselverlag.de/Programm/Corona-Schicksale/](https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.masselverlag.de%2FProgramm%2FCorona-Schicksale%2F\&token=c8d9a4-1-1744109568525 "https://www.masselverlag.de/Programm/Corona-Schicksale/") Unser Autor Jonny Rieder hat das Buch gelesen.

Wie praktisch, das Smartphone, das ohnehin in der Hand liegt, etwas gegen den Scanner neigen: Bezahlung erfolgt! Die Bewusstheit aber, was mit dem Zurückdrängen des Bargeldes an Freiheitsverlusten einhergehen, steckt wahrlich in den Kinderschuhen. Muss zuerst ein Stromausfall die Bezahlungen verunmöglichen? Müssen wir erst auf ein Creditsystem warten, das uns den Kauf von unliebsamen Produkten verweigert um zu verstehen, dass Bargeld ein großes Stück Freiheit bedeutet? [https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/verbraucherzentrale-dokumentiert-bargeldablehnung-von-norbert-haring?](https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/verbraucherzentrale-dokumentiert-bargeldablehnung-von-norbert-haring?color=ffd400) Es sind nicht nur die alten Menschen, die am Bargeld hängen, weil ihnen das Digitale fremd ist. Immer noch etwa die Hälfte aller Geschäfte werden bar abgewickelt. Und jetzt erhalten die Verteidiger des Bargeldes unverhofft Unterstützung: die Verbraucherzentrale, denn Euro Banknoten und Münzen sind gemäß § 14 1 Satz 2 des Gesetzes über die Deutsche Bundesbank gesetzliches Zahlungsmittel. Das bedeutet, dass die Banknoten und Scheine prinzipiell von jedermann zur Begleichung von Geldforderungen akzeptiert werden müssen. Häufig aber wird in Restaurants und Cafés beispielsweise kein Bargeld mehr annehmen. Deshalb ruft die Verbraucherzentrale seit kurzem dazu auf, Bargeldablehnungen mit einem eigens dafür eingerichteten Formular zu melden. Hören Sie hierzu Norbert Härings Text „Verbraucherzentrale dokumentiert Bargeldablehnung“, der zunächst auf seinem Blog erschienen war. [norberthaering.de/bargeld-widersta…entrale-bargeld/](https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnorberthaering.de%2Fbargeld-widerstand%2Fverbraucherzentrale-bargeld%2F\&token=f753a1-1-1744109220179 "https://norberthaering.de/bargeld-widerstand/verbraucherzentrale-bargeld/") Sprecher: Karsten Troyke Bild: Radio München [www.radiomuenchen.net/​](https://gate.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.radiomuenchen.net%2F%E2%80%8B\&token=3864ce-1-1744109220180 "http://www.radiomuenchen.net/​")\ @[radiomuenchen](https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen)\ [www.facebook.com/radiomuenchen](https://gate.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fradiomuenchen\&token=1c7149-1-1744109220180 "http://www.facebook.com/radiomuenchen")\ [www.instagram.com/radio\_muenchen/](https://gate.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fradio_muenchen%2F\&token=fa8d83-1-1744109220180 "http://www.instagram.com/radio_muenchen/")\ [twitter.com/RadioMuenchen](https://gate.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FRadioMuenchen\&token=fe51d2-1-1744109220180 "http://twitter.com/RadioMuenchen") Radio München ist eine gemeinnützige Unternehmung.\ Wir freuen uns, wenn Sie unsere Arbeit unterstützen.

النهاردة هنتكلم عن طريقة استثمار مختلفة: إزاي تستثمر في الدهب جوه مصر. فيه طريقتين: يا إما تشتري الدهب من محلات الصاغة يا إما تستثمر أونلاين (زي صندوق AZG). أنا بفضل الطريقة الأونلاين عشان سهلة والحد الأدنى للاستثمار أقل بكتير، بس فيه عمولة سنوية. هشرح مميزات وعيوب كل طريقة بالتفصيل. --- ## الدهب الحقيقي ### المميزات - استثمار في أصل حقيقي تقدر تلمسه - مش محتاج أوراق ولا كارت بنك عشان تشتري ### العيوب - محتاج مكان آمن تخزنه فيه (بيتك أو خزنة في البنك) - الحد الأدنى للاستثمار عالي (جرام أو ربع جرام) - ممكن تشتري دهب مغشوش لو مشتريتش من مكان موثوق فيه --- ## الدهب الإلكتروني ### المميزات - سهل وسريع في الشرا والبيع - الورق المطلوب بسيط (صورة البطاقة بس) - تقدر تستثمر بفلوس قليلة ### العيوب - العمولات السنوية عالية شوية --- ## المنصات للشرا أونلاين، أنا عارف بس منصة AZG سواء عن طريق AZinvest أو من خلال برامج التداول زي ثاندر. بنصح باستخدام AZinvest عشان أسهل وكل الإجراءات بتتم أونلاين، أما منصة ثاندر فمحتاجة توقع ورق وبتاخد وقت أطول. ## منصة AZinvest ده تطبيق تابع لشركة أزموت (اللي مالكة صندوق الدهب وصناديق استثمارية تانية). الخطوات سهلة: 1. تنزل التطبيق 2. تسجل باستخدام صورة البطاقة 3. توقع العقد أونلاين 4. تحط فلوس عن طريق التحويل البنكي (إنستاباي) أو كارت البنك المشكلة الوحيدة هي عمولة السحب (2 جنيه لبنك مصر، وأكتر للبنوك التانية). ممكن تتجنب العمولة دي لو سجلت من خلال منصة تانية زي ثاندر. ويمكن شئ تاني و هو مواعيد الشراء و البيع و هي من كل اثنين لخميس لو عملت امر البيع قبل 12 الظهر هيبقي بنفس اليوم ولكن لو بعد يبقي تاني يوم (+ يوم او يومين عمل لو سحب لحسابك البنكي) بس دا كله يعتبر متوقع و طبيعي بس هي لو حاطط في بالك هتبقي بسرعة و ملحوظة مهمة لما تيجي تبيع حصص في كل مرة هيخصموا عمولة الصندوق 4.9% فا حاول لو هتخرج خالص بيع كلة مرة واحدة و العمولة بتقل كل سنة لحد التالتة او الرابعة بتبقي من غير عمولة --- ## ادعمني (اختياري) * USDT (TRC20): `TKQ3Uwkq21ntiua2Zh9Hu376fdMdnRGWN6` --- شوف الكومنتات لو فيه أي تعديل أو بوستات جديدة.

Tensions over global trade policy are once again in the spotlight. China’s newly announced 34% retaliatory tariff—and the U.S. response threatening a 50% hike—signal an escalating standoff with global implications. This sharp exchange is more than just diplomacy; it highlights how tariffs, subsidies, and trade barriers are being used as instruments of economic pressure.  The ripple effects are clear. From semiconductors to clean energy, businesses are reassessing supply chains, creators are facing funding hurdles, and innovation is being shaped by forces far beyond individual control. In this unstable landscape, new models are quietly taking shape. The fusion of artificial intelligence (AI) and decentralized finance (DeFi) is offering individuals and teams a different kind of toolkit—one built around autonomy, resilience, and global collaboration. **The Role of Decentralization: A Financial Foundation Against Policy Volatility** Though it may no longer dominate headlines, DeFi has not faded. Instead, it has been evolving in the background—building solid infrastructure for cross-border payments, digital asset governance, and creator-centric economic models. As traditional financial systems grow increasingly entangled with political and regulatory challenges, DeFi’s promises of borderless, low-barrier, and verifiable value exchange are regaining attention. The Create-to-Earn model, for instance, enables users around the world to collaborate and transact directly. Smart contracts on-chain ensure fair distribution of revenue and ownership—without the need to rely on centralized intermediaries or platforms. Consider an AI artist who uploads their work to a decentralized platform and transacts with overseas users, free from the constraints of legacy payment systems or account bans. This peer-to-peer system breathes liquidity into the creator economy. Cooker.club are exploring this direction—building creative and incentive networks rooted in DeFi logic to offer a more sustainable and resilient infrastructure for digital creators. **Strategic Significance: A Hedge for Digital Creators** As global trade frictions intensify and regulatory barriers rise, digital creators, AI teams, and independent developers are seeking a more neutral, self-sustaining model for their work. The convergence of AI and DeFi is not only a technical solution—it points toward a governance philosophy. Through transparency in algorithms, rules, and on-chain data, such systems break free from the limits of traditional platforms and offer a foundation for adaptive, global collaboration. Built on distributed architecture, these networks resist centralized control and remain operational in environments of high regulatory pressure—making them increasingly relevant as mechanisms of digital resilience. **Conclusion** In a world trending toward fragmentation, the value of open and resilient networks grows stronger. The emerging intersection of AI and DeFi is becoming a vital infrastructure for connecting people, value, and opportunity beyond borders. For creators and builders alike, we may not be able to eliminate global uncertainty—but we can respond structurally: with open protocols, intelligent incentives, and transparent collaboration. This is the vision that Cooker.club is exploring—and we look forward to shaping this future together with a wider community of pioneers.

**Sometime in the not-too-distant future...** *alert – low voltage – P Node 5* Pippin looked up from the McMaster-Carr catalogue to the blinking line of text. A double-click opened the Grafana page for Perimeter Node 5. The solar panel voltage graph showed a stable 18V, then a jagged drop to 10V. Weird, that panel is less than a year old, and it’s a clear, sunny, wind-less day. He reached to the wall and poked the button labelled “Patrol 3”, and listened for the noise of the Hawk 2A fixed-wing patrol drone leaving it’s nest. *whirrrrr-zip!* Off it went. It should be over the node in about 6 minutes. He opened the live feed on the second monitor and went back to the catalogue. Here we are, 49045K12. That should get the water system in the greenhouse working again. Back on the computer he opened his AirZap page, selected McMaster-Carr from the list of vendors, and entered the part number on the item list. 148sats with next week’s regular delivery, or 400sats special delivery tomorrow. He clicked the “Regular Delivery” button, then “Confirm Zap”. The HF radio on the network rack hummed for a moment then shrieked a burst of noise. The Nostr event with the order details and Lightning payment was on it’s way to McMaster-Carr’s relay. Luckily the part is small and light enough for drone delivery. Pippin’s private grid on Glass Lake is well outside Fed-PS’s ground delivery area, and even if it wasn’t, there are no government roads here. Being a non-citizen and outside a metro-state was a pain and could be expensive. It was better than paying a 95% tax rate though... *alert – low voltage – P Node 5* The node! His eyes snapped to the second monitor just in time for the flyover, and he could see right away that the solar panel was at an odd angle. Yay, a field repair out in the cold. He tossed the tool kit and electrical repair kit on the hovertrike rack while his thermos filled with coffee. Giving the freeze-frame from the Hawk 2A a second look, he grumbled and grabbed the mechanical kit, adding it to the pile. After a third look and an eye roll he dragged a spare solar panel over to the trailer, then slapped the “Hitch” button. *Clear! Clear! Clear! zzz-thunk!* The electromagnets sucked the trailer and trike together, the pin dropping in as soon as it cleared. Pippin silently prayed thanks to God for small conveniences that eased life’s suffering and slurped a sip off the top of the thermos. And coffee. Thank you Father for the coffee trees in the greenhouse. ... The cutline running the border of Pippin’s property is technically straight and certainly looks it from above, but driving it, even on a hovertrike, is a bouncy, curvy, slow-going affair. Watching immediately ahead instead of appropriately further meant a surprise when the node entered his field of vision. The trailer slid sideways as the trike stopped immediately on its legs. After a sigh and a sip, Pippin powered off the pads and dismounted. Yup, the solar panel is definitely twisted sideways. And bent. And...scratched? Short gouges scraped through the 2 columns of cells closest to the bent edge. There were no fallen trees nearby, so that wasn’t the cause... *snap!* He reached for his laser and got nothing but air. It was in the shop on the charger. Of course it would be; cue a subconscious eye roll. When his brain finally caught up with his eyes he registered the source: 2 meters tall, all black, and capable of mowing him down without a second thought. Thankfully the bull moose was, as most are, completely disinterested in everything but the willow tree he was in the middle of dismembering for lunch. Nonchalance was a benefit of having no natural predators. The ceramic dust on the points of one antler solved the solar panel mystery though; the panel was at the perfect hight for him to have scrapped the side of it as he walked by. He probably didn’t even notice as they’re constantly dragging them through the brush and trees. ... *warning – P Node 5 offline* He hadn’t bothered to mute the alerts while he replaced the broken panel and twisted mounting hardware. Last time he did he forgot to unmute them and went 2 days without noticing. Better to be mildly annoyed for a short time then to go without system or security alerts. He closed the junction box and moved his gaze to the status screen. *powering on...* *self check...* *all tests pass...* *connecting to network...* *no signal, switching to failover network...* He mashed the reboot button before it could complete. If he let it connect to the backup ZuckLink satellite network he’d be paying non-citizen usage fees by the megabyte. It was probably just a hiccup anyways, the point-to-point terrestrial link would probably connect fine on the next try. *no signal, switching to failover network...* This time he hit the power switch. The moose hadn’t damaged the antenna and he’d double-checked the alignment while he had the ladder out. Why wasn’t it connecting? He picked up the network scanner, walked to the other side of the node, and pointed it in the general direction of Node 6. No signal. Surely Node 6 didn’t go down on his way here. Now it was either drive all the way there to check it, or let Node 5 connect via satellite and check remotely. *no signal, switching to failover network...* He could practically feel the sats streaming out of his wallet. Ugh, here we go... *failover network unavailble, no signal...* What? There’s no way the satellite link was down too, unless the whole network stack was borked. Huffing and grumbling back to the trike, he plugged the network scanner into it’s com system and selected the satellite interface. *no signal* “Hey Bullwinkle, you wouldn’t happen to be running around with an all-spectrum jammer would you?” Hearing nothing, he looked up and around for the moose. He had been working his way down the edge of the line where the young willows were while Pippin had been working on repairs. Now he was gone. If the moose had joined the rimwalker raiders and started carrying signal jammers, he should be out of range now. He chuckled at the thought of some off-grid wildman trying to train a moose to carry equipment. *no signal, switching to failover network...* *failover network unavailable, no signal...* Maybe it was the network stack. But that wouldn’t explain being unable to connect through the trike. Maybe he should just unhitch the trailer and go check Node 6. While highly unlikely, there could be a ZuckLink outage in his cell and an issue with the link to the next node at the same time. The only way to know would be to check in-person. As he looked up from the status screen his peripheral caught motion on the treeline. “Hey Bullwinkle, is that you?” Antler points protruded from behind a tree, unmoving. A bit too still, actually. “Bullwinkle?” Those weren’t antler points. That was an antenna array. *no signal* **Notes & Appendix** The various technical and other odd bits I used in this story are all either real things or will be very soon. If this was a movie or TV show the visual elements would make some of the nerdier references either to get (i.e. most people would know a drone if they saw one, but saying “fixed-wing patrol drone” doesn’t necessarily draw a mental image for everyone), but in an effort to not constantly interrupt the flow for explanations I’ve moved those here.

เรื่องมันเริ่มจากมีคนถามว่า ขนมของผมเป็นขนม healthy ใช่ไหมคะ มีคนชื่นชมเยอะเลยจะมาสั่งบ้าง ผมได้แต่ตอบไปว่า ขนมของผมไม่ใช่ขนม healthy มันเป็นแค่ขนมทางเลือก เป็นอีกทางเลือกนึงของคนที่อยากเลือก โดยผมจะให้รายละเอียดวัตถุดิบว่ามีอะไร แล้วสารอาหารเป็นประมาณเท่าไร ให้เขาเลือกเอาเอง ผมเลยไม่เคยตอบเลยว่า คนท้องกินได้ไหม คนป่วยเบาหวานกินได้ไหม และผมมักตอบว่า เจ้าตัวควรจะรู้ได้เองเมื่อทราบวัตถุดิบ ว่าตัวเองกินได้ไหม ผมว่า ผมแม่งโคตรแฟร์ในเรื่องการให้ข้อมูลก่อนซื้อแล้วนะ มันก็เลยเกิดข้อสงสัยว่า เมื่อเราตั้งคำถามกับคำว่า “Healthy” ว่านิยามของมันคือ ดีต่อสุขภาพ หรือ แค่ไม่ทำร้ายสุขภาพ? ในยุคที่โลกเต็มไปด้วยคำศัพท์ใหม่ ๆ เกี่ยวกับสุขภาพ ที่เอามาช่วยในการขายของนั้น บางครั้งคำว่า “healthy” ที่เราได้ยินกันบ่อย ๆ ก็ไม่ค่อยชัดเจนเท่าไรนัก คนส่วนใหญ่เข้าใจว่าคำนี้น่าจะหมายถึง “ดีต่อสุขภาพ” ความหมายของมันอาจจะไม่เป็นเช่นนั้นเสมอไป และการเข้าใจคำว่า “healthy” นั้นสำคัญยิ่งกว่าที่คิด ถ้าจะให้ถามกันตรง ๆ คือ คำว่า “healthy” จริง ๆ ควรจะหมายถึงอะไร? “Healthy” หรือ “Not Harmful”? หลายครั้งที่เราพบคำว่า “healthy” ใช้กับผลิตภัณฑ์ที่ดูเหมือนจะดีต่อสุขภาพ เช่น ขนมสุขภาพ น้ำผลไม้คั้นสด หรืออาหารมังสวิรัติ ซึ่งทุกอย่างนี้อาจจะทำให้เราคิดว่าเป็นอาหารที่ “ดีต่อสุขภาพ” แต่ถ้าลองมองให้ลึกขึ้น คุณอาจจะพบว่า คำว่า “healthy” ที่เราคุ้นเคย อาจหมายถึงเพียงแค่ “ไม่ทำร้ายสุขภาพ” มากกว่าที่จะเป็นสิ่งที่มีประโยชน์จริง ๆ ต่อร่างกายหรือเปล่า? ความแตกต่างระหว่าง “ดีต่อสุขภาพ” กับ “แค่ไม่ทำร้ายสุขภาพ” อาหารที่เรียกว่า “healthy” ในปัจจุบันบางครั้งอาจจะไม่ได้ดีต่อร่างกายมากเท่าที่คิด เพราะอาจมีส่วนผสมที่ปรุงแต่งมากเกินไป เช่น น้ำตาลที่ซ่อนอยู่ในน้ำผลไม้คั้นสดหรือขนมที่ผลิตจากแป้งปริมาณมากเกินไป หรือแม้แต่ผ่านกระบวนการแบบ ultra processed ที่พวกนี้บางครั้งมันอาจจะไม่ทำร้ายร่างกายในระยะสั้นทันทีแต่ในระยะยาวอาจจะสะสมผลเสียต่อสุขภาพได้อยู่ดี แต่ถูก bold บางตัวมาชูความ healthy เสียอย่างนั้น เมื่อเปรียบเทียบกับอาหารที่ “ดีต่อสุขภาพ” อาหารประเภทนี้ควรจะเป็น อาหารจากธรรมชาติที่ไม่ผ่านกระบวนการปรุงแต่งหรือแปรรูปมาก หรือเปล่า? เพราะอาหารเหล่านี้จะให้คุณค่าทางโภชนาการที่ร่างกายต้องการ เช่น โปรตีนคุณภาพสูงจากสัตว์ หรือ ผักผลไม้ที่ปลูกในระบบเกษตรอินทรีย์ ซึ่งมีสารอาหารที่ไม่เพียงแค่ไม่ทำร้ายร่างกาย แต่ยังช่วยเสริมสร้างระบบต่าง ๆ ในร่างกายให้ทำงานได้อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ “Not Harmful” ยังไม่พอ แต่อาหารที่แค่ “ไม่ทำร้ายสุขภาพ” ยังไม่เพียงพอที่จะเรียกว่า “healthy” เพราะอาหารเหล่านี้บางตัวอาจจะมีมุมกลับที่ไม่ได้สร้างผลเสียทันที แต่ก็อาจไม่ได้ให้ประโยชน์อะไรกับร่างกายเท่าที่ควรเป็นเช่นกัน การรับประทานอาหารที่แค่ “ไม่ทำร้ายสุขภาพ“ นั้นในระยะยาวอาจไม่ส่งผลต่อการมีสุขภาพที่แข็งแรงจริง ๆ เพราะแค่ ”ไม่ทำร้าย“ “not harmful” ยังไม่ใช่ “healthy” เพราะมันไม่ได้ดีต่อสุขภาพ แต่มันแค่ “ไม่ร้ายแรงทันที” หรือพูดให้ชัดคือ แค่ไม่ทำร้ายสุขภาพเร็วเกินไปนัก เช่น ขนมที่บอกว่า “ไม่มีน้ำตาล” แต่ยังใช้สารให้ความหวานสังเคราะห์ เครื่องดื่มที่โฆษณาว่า “ลดแคลอรี่” แต่แฝงไปด้วยสารเคมีหรือสารปรุงแต่งที่ร่างกายไม่สามารถย่อยได้ดี ผลิตภัณฑ์ที่บอกว่า “ใช้ได้สำหรับมังสวิรัติ” แต่เต็มไปด้วยแป้งขัดขาวหรือสารกันบูด หรือแม้แต่อาหารสารพัด ins หรือแม้แต่อาหารที่หลอกล่อให้กินเกินความต้องการ ชูตัวนึงแต่เนียนไม่บอกอีกตัวนึง เช่นชูโปรตีน แต่เงียบเรื่องคาร์บสูงมาก แถมบางครั้งมาในความ over claim ดึงสารตัวเล็กๆมาชูภายใต้คำว่า “มี xxxx ดีเพราะช่วยด้าน xxxx” ทั้งที่จะสัมฤทธิ์ผลต้องดื่มเป็นสิบๆแก้ว ซึ่งใช้ไม่ได้จริง “Healthy” ที่แท้จริง อาหารที่ดีต่อสุขภาพ จึงควรเป็นอาหารที่เมื่อกินเข้าไปแล้ว ร่างกายได้รับ สารอาหารที่มีประโยชน์จริง ๆ ที่ช่วยเสริมสร้างและซ่อมแซมระบบต่าง ๆ ในร่างกาย อย่างเต็มที่เช่น • โปรตีนจากแหล่งธรรมชาติ อย่างเนื้อสัตว์ที่เลี้ยงแบบอิสระ หรือไข่ที่มาจากฟาร์มที่เลี้ยงตามธรรมชาติ • ไขมันที่ดีต่อสุขภาพ เช่น ไขมันจากสัตว์ที่เลี้ยงแบบธรรมชาติ ไขมันโอเมก้า 3 ที่มาจากปลา หรือไขมันพืชที่มีสัดส่วนโอเมก้า 6 ไม่มากจนไม่สามารถสมดุล โอเมก้า 3 ได้ทัน • ผักผลไม้สดที่ไม่ผ่านการแปรรูป เพราะยังพอมีไฟเบอร์ วิตามิน และแร่ธาตุที่ร่างกายเอาไปใช้งานได้บ้าง แต่ต้องผ่านการลดระดับของ anti-nutrient หลายครั้งเราเห็นขนม healthy ไม่ว่าจะคลีน วีแกน หรือขนมเคลมความ healthy ต่างๆ คือพอเป็นขนม มันก็จะมีการใช้ “ปริมาณ” บางอย่างให้เรากินมากเกินไป เช่นบางขนมยังเป็นแป้งปริมาณมาก ต่อให้แป้งเทพแป้งสะอาดยังไง ก็กลายเป็นคาร์บย่อยเป็นกลูโคส ต่อให้ย่อยช้าย่อยเร็วก็ย่อยได้หมดอยู่ดี, บางขนมมีปริมาณน้ำตาลมาก ต่อให้ giต่ำแบบมะพร้าว โตนด แต่ปริมาณ ถ้าเกินที่ สธ. มีคำแนะนำ คือ 16กรัมต่อวัน ก็เกมส์อยู่ดี, หรือจะขนมจืดๆแต่ใช้น้ำมันคาโนลา ที่อุดมด้วยโอเมก้า6 หรือ น้ำมันรำข้าวที่มี oryzanol เข้มข้น หรืออย่างสายคีโต ก็ไม่รอด โอเค โดยรวมมันช่วยเรื่องการไม่กระชากอินซุลิน แต่บางอย่างก็ใช่ว่าจะสามารถเรียก healthy ตามความหมาย เช่น ขนมแป้งอัลมอนด์ มันคือ อัลมอนด์ processed ที่ทำให้เรากินอัลมอนด์มากกว่าเม็ดๆไปได้มาก เพราะมันบดย่อยมาละเอียด ทำให้เรากินมากเกินไป, หลายขนมก็ใช้สารให้ความหวาน ต่อให้อินซุลินไม่พุ่ง แต่มันก็มีผลกับจุลินทรีย์ในลำไส้, แม้แต่พวกครีมชีส ตัวมันเองคือดี แต่การเอาปริมาณมากมาทำขนม มันก็กลายเป็น over consume ได้, อย่างที่ชัดมากคือ ขนมปังวีทกลูเตน ที่แป้งปกติกลูเตนราว 10-14% ถ้าวัดแบบโลฟละ 500กรัมเหมือนๆกัน แป้งธรรมดามีกลูเตนราวๆ 30กรัม ส่วนขนมปังวีทกลูเตนมีกลูเตนราวๆ 190กรัม หรือมากกว่าปกติ 633% แต่นั่นละครับ มัน not harmful (yet) ดังนั้นในความคิดเห็นของผม ตามเหตุผลที่เรียบเรียงมา เมื่อขึ้นชื่อว่าขนม มันคืออาหารชนิดนึงที่ผ่านกระบวนการมาก จนกลายเป็น processed food ชนิดนึง มันทำให้เรากินเนยมาก กินน้ำมันมาก กินครีมมาก กินน้ำตาล(ทั้งแท้และสังเคราะห์)มาก กินแป้งและ/หรือถั่วบดมาก กินผลไม้มาก กินโยเกิรตมาก กินช็อคโกแลตมาก(ถึงจะ dark100% ก็เหอะ) เพื่อความอร่อย ขนม เลยไม่ healthy และผมไม่ขอเคลมความ healthy ในสินค้าผม และผมไม่มองว่าขนม healthy ผมมองว่าขนมอร่อย กินเอาอร่อย แล้วไปบาลานซ์ความ healthy องค์รวมเอาในชีวิต ดังนั้น อย่าฝืนกินขนมไม่อร่อยเพียงเพราะเราดันเชื่อว่ามัน healthy หรือ เราอย่าไปซัดโฮกขนมมากๆเพราะเราดันเชื่อว่ามัน healthy เรามองอาหารยังไง ก็มองขนมอย่างนั้น มองวัตถุดิบที่แปรรูปแล้วกินลงไป ขนม ก็จะเป็นอาหารประเภทนึง คุณก็เช่นกัน ควรมองของที่กินเข้าไปทั้งหมดเป็นอาหาร แล้วมองอาหารเป็นวัตถุดิบ แล้วพิจารณาวัตถุดิบ+วิธีทำ ว่ามัน healthy กับตัวคุณแค่ไหน มากกว่า healthy ที่แปะบนห่อหรือในโพสขาย คำว่า “healthy” จริง ๆ แล้วควรจะหมายถึง อาหารที่ไม่ใช่แค่ปลอดภัยจากการทำร้ายสุขภาพ แต่ยังต้องช่วยเสริมสร้างสุขภาพ อย่างแท้จริง อาหารที่ดีต่อสุขภาพควรเป็นอาหารธรรมชาติให้โปรตีนคุณภาพ ไขมันที่มีประโยชน์ ให้คาร์บที่พอเหมาะและมีสารอาหารที่ร่างกายต้องการในการทำงานที่ดีที่สุด ทั้งซ่อมและสร้าง “Healthy = ดีต่อสุขภาพในทางบวก ไม่ใช่แค่ไม่ร้าย” “Not harmful = ไม่ร้าย ยังไม่เห็นผลเสีย แต่ไม่ให้คุณในทางบวกขนาดนั้น” เพราะฉะนั้น มันเลยมีความเกือบจะทับซ่อนกัน ถ้าจะสื่อคำว่า “Healthy” แนะนำให้แปลว่า “อาหารที่ส่งเสริมสุขภาพ ไม่ใช่แค่ไม่ทำร้ายสุขภาพ“ กับดักที่ใหญ่ที่สุด ที่แม้แต่ชาวคีโตเองก็อาจตกหลุมนั้นแบบไม่รู้ตัว นั่นคือ ปริมาณ สำคัญกว่า ประเภท คุณตกหลุมคำว่า อาหาร/ขนม healthy หรือเปล่าหล่ะ คุณเท่านั้นที่ตอบตัวเองได้ จงมองทะลุ food matrix เจริญพวง neo #pirateketo #กูต้องรู้มั๊ย #ม้วนหางสิลูก #ฉลาก3รู้

> Trump is trying to sell a victim narrative and I don't buy it. Trump repeats a troupe that I find hard to swallow. The US is getting ripped off. When he says this, as far as I can tell he's not referring to the people. He's referring the US government getting ripped off by other nations. This is so absurd I'm surprised I don't hear more people push back on it. The US is the most powerful government in the history of the planet. No nation has the firepower or wealth of the US. The US has manipulated the governments and policies of much of the world since WW2. The idea that the US government is getting ripped off is absurd. Trump and I agree that NATO is obsolete. It was created to counter a government that dissolved in the 90s. This should be an example to everyone that governments do not behave like businesses. They do not respond to market forces. They will always seek to increase their power and influence and always resist any efforts to reduce their size and scope. But back to Trump. He says that the US is getting ripped off by the other NATO countries. I would say the US people are in indeed being ripped off by their own government. But the US government is NOT getting ripped off. The US military power in Europe is a massive influence on geopolitics in the region. US military companies benefit massively as well. The US military has bases all over the globe and if you don't think that is a factor in "diplomatic" negotiations you are being naive. The US uses this "defensive" shield to keep the "leaders" of Europe in line. The US isn't being ripped off. This is just a marketing tactic Trump is using to sell downsizing the US military deployments. Trump also loves to point out how other countries are imposing tariffs on the US. We are being ripped off! I mean, he has a point there. But if tariffs aren't a tax as many in his admin like to claim, how exactly are "we" being ripped off? We are being told that Trump's tariff policy isn't a tax and that expecting prices to increase is oversimplifying things. The talk about tariffs is frankly frustrating. On the one hand the left is saying tariffs are a tax and is going to drive up prices. Yet these same people pretend to not understand that corporate tax increases don't have the same effect. The right claims to understand tax policy and often oppose corporate taxes. They will tell you that those taxes just get passed down to consumers in the form of price increases. Now they are pretending to not get this in relation to tariffs. I've read and listened to the pro tariff people and they aren't all dumb. They may be right about tariffs not effecting all products and nations equally. I guess we will find out. But, can we be honest? The US is not getting ripped off. Someone is getting ripped off, but it isn't the US federal government. Its the people of the world. First, the people of the world live under the thumb of the US fiat dollar standard. We in the US complain about 3+% inflation but most people in the world would kill for that level of inflation. Most of the world gets none of supposed benefits from government spending. They only get the debasement of their own currencies. Moving away from economics, the entire globe is affected by the elections in the US. The US is the top dog government and its decisions effect people everywhere. The US deep state has manipulated many elections across the globe and continues to do so. Meanwhile we are told that Russia is manipulating our elections. So who exactly is getting ripped off here? I think the nation (the people) are being subjected to massive mismanagement at best. I can support that argument. Don't get me wrong... I know we in the US are getting ripped off. We are being ruled by people that do not represent us and do not answer to us. The politicians that claim to represent us are being paid and influenced by foreign groups ranging from Israeli political groups, to any number of other groups domestic and foreign. We are getting ripped off, but I firmly believe the people in the US have it better than most of the world. Trump is trying to sell a victim narrative and I don't buy it. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/937482

Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, registered his birthday as April 5, 1975, on his P2P Foundation profile. Many think that he chose this date because on that same day in 1933, the United States government confiscated the gold of the American people. Whether this was on purpose or not, **what happened in this day is very important to understand how do we ended up here.** In 1933, as expressed in Roosevelt’s Executive Orders 6073, 6102, and 6260, the United States first declared bankruptcy. The bankrupt U.S. went into receivership in 1933. America was turned over via receivership and reorganization in favor of its creditors. **These creditors, the International Bankers**, from the beginning stated their intent, which was to plunder, bankrupt, conquer and enslave America and **return it to its colonial status.[1](#footnote-1)** As one of his first acts as President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt declared a “Banking Emergency” **to bail out the Federal Reserve Bank**, which had embezzled this country’s gold supply. **The Congress gave the President dictatorial powers** under the “War Powers Act of 1917” (amended 1933), written, by the way, by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.[2](#footnote-2) **This day marked the official abandonment of the American Constitution, law and real money.** Today, 92 years after this event, most of the people living today have never had any real money or paid for anything using real money; unless they used Bitcoin... There could be no bankruptcy if there was not a **private central bank lending paper currency** to the government at interest, so we must start from 1913, when the Federal Reserve was created: a non-federal private bank with no reserves and the monopoly of issuing debt based paper currency in unlimited amounts and lending it to the government at interest by buying treasury bills. The fact that this currency is lent into existence at interest makes the debt mathematically impossible to be repaid; **it can only be refinanced or defaulted.** Between 1929 and 1933, the Federal Reserve Bank reduced the currency supply by 33%, thereby creating the Great Depression, bankrupting the US government, stealing the Americans’ gold supply, and officially ending the gold standard. Since then the US dollar (money) was replaced with Federal Reserve Notes (debt). This was also the end of the Republican form of government and the beginning of a socialist mob rule democracy (Fascism). > “**Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power**.” — Benito Mussolini  The United States government has been bankrupt since 1933, since it defaulted on its gold bonds. This type of bond existed until **1933, when the U.S. monetary system abandoned the gold standard.** [3](#footnote-3) From this year the government has been totally controlled by the International bankers and used as a tool to spread and maintain their power worldwide. Many people think that the gold standard was abandoned in 1971, but this is not true; in fact, this happened in 1933 when the US dollar was replaced by Federal Reserve Notes that are 100% debt-based fiat paper currency. ## **The year 1933 in the United States marked:** - The end of the Republican form of government and the beginning of American Fascism - The end of the United States dollar and its replacement by Federal Reserve Notes - The abandonment of common law and replacement with military admiralty law - The takeover of the United States government by International bankers - A massive gold theft and the end of the US gold standard - The exchange of rights with privileges and licenses - The United States government bankruptcy The next shameful event in our history which still plagues us to this day was the “War Powers Act of 1933.” **This Act permitted President Roosevelt to make law in the form of Executive Order, bypass Congress and create his socialist state.** We (citizens of this country) were ever after to be considered enemies of the United States who must be licensed to engage in any commercial activity. With the aid of the Federal Reserve (the same people who created the Depression), the President confiscated our gold and silver coin and replaced it with worthless pieces of paper and a debt system that will eventually destroy this great country. **Our land and our labor were pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank, Inc., as collateral for a debt system that could never be paid.**[4](#footnote-4) “Emergency Powers” means any form of military style government, martial law, or martial rule. Martial law and martial rule are not the same. United States Congressional Record March 17, 1993 Vol. #33, page H- 1303, Congressman James Traficant, Jr. (Ohio) addressing the House: > **“Mr. Speaker, we are here now in chapter 11.** Members of Congress are official trustees presiding over the greatest reorganization of any Bankrupt entity in world history, the U.S. Government. We are setting forth, hopefully, a blueprint for our future” > > “There are some who say it is a coroner’s report that will lead to our demise. It is an established fact that **the United States Federal Government has been dissolved by the Emergency Banking Act,** March 9, 1933, 48 Stat. 1, Public Law 89-719; dered by President Roosevelt, being bankrupt and insolvent. H.J.R. 192, 73rd Congress in session June 5, **1933 – Joint Resolution To Suspend The Gold Standard** and Abrogate the Gold Clause dissolved the Sovereign Authority of the United States and the official capacities of all United States Governmental Offices, Officers, and Departments and is further evidence that **the United States Federal Government exists today in name only”** > ****“The receivers of the United States Bankruptcy are the International Bankers, via the United Nations, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund”** > > “All United States Offices, Officials, and Departments are now operating within a **de facto status in name only under Emergency War Powers.** With the **Constitutional Republican form of Government now dissolved**, the receivers of the Bankruptcy have adopted a new form of government for the United States. **This new form of government is known as a Democracy,** being an established Socialist/Communist order under a new governor for America. This act was instituted and established by transferring and/or placing the Office of the Secretary of Treasury to that of the Governor of the International Monetary Fund. Public Law 94-564, page 8, Section H.R. 13955 read in part:” > > “The U.S. Secretary of Treasury receives no compensation for representing the United States.” ## **The American Spirit** The intention of the founding fathers of the United States was to create a constitutional republic to protect natural human rights and escape from the tyrannical English monarchy and its usurious Bank of England's monetary system. They created an honest monetary system based on gold and silver (United State Dollar) and got rid of nobility titles, creating equality under the law. Section 10 of the American Constitution says: > No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Let­ters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; **make anything but gold and silver Coin a tender in payment of debts**; **pass any bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts; or grant any title of nobility.** ### **The United States Dollar (1792-1933)** A dollar is a measure of weight defined by the Coinage Act of 1792 and 1900, which specifies a certain quantity—24.8 grains of gold or 371.25 grains of silver (from 1792 to 1900) when the American dollar was based on **a bimetallic standard.** **The Gold Standard Act of 1900 formally placed the United States on the gold standard, setting the value of one dollar at 25.8 grams of 90% pure gold, which fixed the price of gold at $20.67 per troy ounce**. This standard was totally abandoned in 1933. Gold and silver were such powerful money during the founding of the United States of America that the founding fathers declared that only gold or silver coins could be “money” in America. But since the greedy bankers cannot profit from honest money they cannot print, they replaced the money with paper debt instruments. And by doing this, they have effectively enslaved the American people until today. My definition of modern slavery is working for a currency that someone else can create at no cost or effort. What's worse is that they even demand to be paid back and with interest! ### **Federal Reserve Notes (1913-present)** Federal Reserve Notes are not **real money.** Money that has metallic or other intrinsic value, as distinguished from paper currency, checks, and drafts. **Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) are a legal fiction.** An assumption that something is true even though it may be untrue. [5](#footnote-5) The assumption that they are money, when in fact they are the opposite of money: debt or paper currency. **Paper money**. Paper documents that circu­late as currency; bills drawn by a government **against its own credit**. [6](#footnote-6) Like **Goldsmiths' notes.** Hist. Bankers' cash notes: **promissory notes given by bankers to customers** as acknowledgments of the receipt of mon­ey. • This term derives from the London banking business, which originally was transacted by goldsmiths.[7](#footnote-7) These notes were scientifically designed to bankrupt the government and slave the American people, as Alfred Owen Crozier warned one year before the bill for the creation of the FED was passed through Congress (1912): > If Congress yields and authorizes a private central bank as proposed by the pending bill, the end when **the bubble bursts will be universal ruin and national bankruptcy.** Unfortunately, the bill was passed in 1913, and this private bank started printing a new currency different from the US dollar creating the great depression and effectible bankrupting the government like Alfred warned 20 years before. Alfred also warned: > Thus the way is opened for an unlimited inflation **of corporate paper currency** issued by a mere private corporation with relatively small net assets and no government guarantee, every dollar **supposed to be redeemable in gold**, but with not a single dollar of gold necessarily held in the reserves of such corporation to accomplish such redemption. **Differently from what's commonly believed Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) were never really “backed” by gold**; they were never supposed to be hard currency. Currency backed by re­serves, esp. gold and silver reserves. The United States government defaulted on its gold clauses, calling for payment in gold. This marked the end of the **gold standard.** A monetary system in which currency is convertible into its legal equivalent in gold or gold coin. Since then we have been under a paper standard, where we use fake money as tender for payments. **Paper standard.** A monetary system based en­tirely on paper; a system of currency that is not convertible into gold or other precious metal. People traded their coupons as money or “currency.” **Currency is not money but a money substitute.** Redeemable currency must promise to pay a dollar equivalent in gold or silver money. Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) make no such promises and are not “money.” **A Federal Reserve Note is a debt obligation of the federal United States government, not “money.”** The federal United States government and the U.S. Congress were not and have never been authorized by the Constitution of the United States of America to issue currency of any kind, but only lawful money—gold and silver coin.[8](#footnote-8) A bona fide note can be used in a financial transaction to discharge the debt only because it is an unconditional promise to pay by the issuer to the bearer. Is a Federal Reserve Note a contract note, an unconditional promise to pay? At one time the Federal Reserve issued bona fide contractual notes and certificates, redeemable in gold and silver coin. **Most people never saw or comprehended the contract**. It went largely unread because the Federal Reserve very cunningly hid the contract on the face of the note by **breaking it up into five separate lines of text with a significantly different typeface for each line** and placing the president’s picture right in the middle of it. They even used the old attorney’s ruse of **obscuring the most important text in fine print!** Over time, the terms and conditions of the contract were diluted until eventually they literally became an I.O.U. for *nothing.* **FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE** - THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBT, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE, AND IT IS REDEEMABLE IN LAWFUL MONEY AT THE UNITED STATES TREASURY OR ANY FEDERAL RESERVE BANK. - DATE: SERIES OF 1934 - WILL PAY TO THE BEARER ON DEMAND: ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS - TREASURER OF THE UNITED STATES SIGNATURE - SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY SIGNATURE  Nowadays FRNs say "This note is legal tender for all debts public and private" it tender debt but it does not pay the bearer on demand. It value was stolen by a counterfeiting technique commonly know as inflation. One hundred dollars (SERIES OF 1934) will be 2480 grains of gold, or 159.4 grams, or 5.1249 troy ounces. Today one troy ounce is priced around $3,000 federal reserve notes. 5.1249 X 3,000 = $15,375 actual FRNs. A $100 FRN bill today will buy 0.65% of a real gold $100 dollar certificate. That’s a -99.35% loss of purchasing power in the last 91 years. FRNs savers have been rugged pulled! Gold bugs where the winners... But Bitcoin is even better... Happy birthday Satoshi! April 5 will be forever remembered. Satoshi... The man, the myth, the Legend...
