2025-05-09 19:50:20Wer sein eigenes Geld abheben möchte, macht sich heute – in Spanien - verdächtig. Wer dort eine größere Geldmenge des eigenen Vermögens abzuheben gedenkt, muss das von nun an Tage zuvor anmelden. Diese neue Regelung lässt sich auch nicht dadurch umgehen, dass man mehrere kleine Einzelbeiträge abhebt. Und die, die die neue Regelung missachten, werden empfindlich bestraft. So gerät jeder, der zu häufig Bares abhebt, in das Visier der Behörden.

Was sich in Spanien an Bankautomaten und -schaltern eingeschlichen hat, könnte sich seinen Weg auch nach Deutschland bahnen. In Frankreich, so zeigt die persönliche Erfahrung, variiert die zu erzielende Geldmenge am Automaten unter noch ungeklärten Bedingungen von Tag zu Tag, von Konto zu Konto. Der Automat gibt vor, ob gerade beispielsweise 60, 200 oder 400 Euro abgehoben werden dürfen.

Someone asked for my thoughts, so I’ll share them thoughtfully. I’m not here to dictate how to promote Nostr—I’m still learning about it myself. While I’m not new to Nostr, freedom tech is a newer space for me. I’m skilled at advocating for topics I deeply understand, but freedom tech isn’t my expertise, so take my words with a grain of salt. Nothing I say is set in stone.
Those who need Nostr the most are the ones most vulnerable to censorship on other platforms right now. Reaching them requires real-time awareness of global issues and the dynamic relationships between governments and tech providers, which can shift suddenly. Effective Nostr promoters must grasp this and adapt quickly.
The best messengers are people from or closely tied to these at-risk regions—those who truly understand the local political and cultural dynamics. They can connect with those in need when tensions rise. Ideal promoters are rational, trustworthy, passionate about Nostr, but above all, dedicated to amplifying people’s voices when it matters most.
Forget influencers, corporate-backed figures, or traditional online PR—it comes off as inauthentic, corny, desperate and forced. Nostr’s promotion should be grassroots and organic, driven by a few passionate individuals who believe in Nostr and the communities they serve.
The idea that “people won’t join Nostr due to lack of reach” is nonsense. Everyone knows X’s “reach” is mostly with bots. If humans want real conversations, Nostr is the place. X is great for propaganda, but Nostr is for the authentic voices of the people.
Those spreading Nostr must be so passionate they’re willing to onboard others, which is time-consuming but rewarding for the right person. They’ll need to make Nostr and onboarding a core part of who they are. I see no issue with that level of dedication. I’ve been known to get that way myself at times. It’s fun for some folks.
With love, I suggest not adding Bitcoin promotion with Nostr outreach. Zaps already integrate that element naturally. (Still promote within the Bitcoin ecosystem, but this is about reaching vulnerable voices who needed Nostr yesterday.)
To promote Nostr, forget conventional strategies. “Influencers” aren’t the answer. “Influencers” are not the future. A trusted local community member has real influence—reach them. Connect with people seeking Nostr’s benefits but lacking the technical language to express it. This means some in the Nostr community might need to step outside of the Bitcoin bubble, which is uncomfortable but necessary. Thank you in advance to those who are willing to do that.
I don’t know who is paid to promote Nostr, if anyone. This piece isn’t shade. But it’s exhausting to see innocent voices globally silenced on corporate platforms like X while Nostr exists. Last night, I wondered: how many more voices must be censored before the Nostr community gets uncomfortable and thinks creatively to reach the vulnerable?
A warning: the global need for censorship-resistant social media is undeniable. If Nostr doesn’t make itself known, something else will fill that void. Let’s start this conversation.

Information ohne Reflexion ist geistiger Flugsand. \ Ernst Reinhardt
Der lateinische Ausdruck «Quo vadis» als Frage nach einer Entwicklung oder Ausrichtung hat biblische Wurzeln. Er wird aber auch in unserer Alltagssprache verwendet, laut Duden meist als Ausdruck von Besorgnis oder Skepsis im Sinne von: «Wohin wird das führen?»
Der Sinn und Zweck von so mancher politischen Entscheidung erschließt sich heutzutage nicht mehr so leicht, und viele Trends können uns Sorge bereiten. Das sind einerseits sehr konkrete Themen wie die zunehmende Militarisierung und die geschichtsvergessene Kriegstreiberei in Europa, deren Feindbildpflege aktuell beim Gedenken an das Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs beschämende Formen annimmt.
Auch das hohe Gut der Schweizer Neutralität scheint immer mehr in Gefahr. Die schleichende Bewegung der Eidgenossenschaft in Richtung NATO und damit weg von einer Vermittlerposition erhält auch durch den neuen Verteidigungsminister Anschub. Martin Pfister möchte eine stärkere Einbindung in die europäische Verteidigungsarchitektur, verwechselt bei der Argumentation jedoch Ursache und Wirkung.
Das Thema Gesundheit ist als Zugpferd für Geschäfte und Kontrolle offenbar schon zuverlässig etabliert. Die hauptsächlich privat finanzierte Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) ist dabei durch ein Netzwerk von sogenannten «Collaborating Centres» sogar so weit in nationale Einrichtungen eingedrungen, dass man sich fragen kann, ob diese nicht von Genf aus gesteuert werden.
Das Schweizer Bundesamt für Gesundheit (BAG) übernimmt in dieser Funktion ebenso von der WHO definierte Aufgaben und Pflichten wie das deutsche Robert Koch-Institut (RKI). Gegen die Covid-«Impfung» für Schwangere, die das BAG empfiehlt, obwohl es fehlende wissenschaftliche Belege für dessen Schutzwirkung einräumt, formiert sich im Tessin gerade Widerstand.
Unter dem Stichwort «Gesundheitssicherheit» werden uns die Bestrebungen verkauft, essenzielle Dienste mit einer biometrischen digitalen ID zu verknüpfen. Das dient dem Profit mit unseren Daten und führt im Ergebnis zum Verlust unserer demokratischen Freiheiten. Die deutsche elektronische Patientenakte (ePA) ist ein Element mit solchem Potenzial. Die Schweizer Bürger haben gerade ein Referendum gegen das revidierte E-ID-Gesetz erzwungen. In Thailand ist seit Anfang Mai für die Einreise eine «Digital Arrival Card» notwendig, die mit ihrer Gesundheitserklärung einen Impfpass «durch die Hintertür» befürchten lässt.
Der massive Blackout auf der iberischen Halbinsel hat vermehrt Fragen dazu aufgeworfen, wohin uns Klimawandel-Hysterie und «grüne» Energiepolitik führen werden. Meine Kollegin Wiltrud Schwetje ist dem nachgegangen und hat in mehreren Beiträgen darüber berichtet. Wenig überraschend führen interessante Spuren mal wieder zu internationalen Großbanken, Globalisten und zur EU-Kommission.
Zunehmend bedenklich ist aber ganz allgemein auch die manifestierte Spaltung unserer Gesellschaften. Angesichts der tiefen und sorgsam gepflegten Gräben fällt es inzwischen schwer, eine zukunftsfähige Perspektive zu erkennen. Umso begrüßenswerter sind Initiativen wie die Kölner Veranstaltungsreihe «Neue Visionen für die Zukunft». Diese möchte die Diskussionskultur reanimieren und dazu beitragen, dass Menschen wieder ohne Angst und ergebnisoffen über kontroverse Themen der Zeit sprechen.
Quo vadis – Wohin gehen wir also? Die Suche nach Orientierung in diesem vermeintlichen Chaos führt auch zur Reflexion über den eigenen Lebensweg. Das ist positiv insofern, als wir daraus Kraft schöpfen können. Ob derweil der neue Papst, dessen «Vorgänger» Petrus unsere Ausgangsfrage durch die christliche Legende zugeschrieben wird, dabei eine Rolle spielt, muss jede/r selbst wissen. Mir persönlich ist allein schon ein Führungsanspruch wie der des Petrusprimats der römisch-katholischen Kirche eher suspekt.

"Kleines Erste-Hilfe-Büchlein gegen Propaganda" von 2023. „Normalerweise hört man das Wort „Propaganda“ im Mainstream-Diskurs nur, wenn es um Dinge geht, die andere Länder ihren eigenen Bürgern antun oder Teil ausländischer Beeinflussungsoperationen sind, obwohl in der überwältigenden Mehrheit der Fälle, in denen wir in unserem täglichen Leben Propaganda erlebt haben, der Anruf aus dem eigenen Haus kam.“
https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/helge-buttkereit-medienkritik-als-trotziger-idealismus?
In der Folge dokumentiert sie einige gravierende Beispiele aus den US-Medien. Auch in Deutschland fehlt es den Massenmedien an der nötigen Distanz zur Regierung und ihrem Werte-Narrativ. Was umso gefährlicher ist, da sie über „Definitionsmacht“ verfügen. Auch wenn wir selbst diese Medien nicht konsumieren, so können wir doch sicher sein, dass die große Mehrheit der Bürger sie konsultiert und damit deren Sicht auf die Welt massiv beeinflusst wird. „Wenn wir die Tagesschau einschalten, erfahren wir nichts über die ‘Wirklichkeit’. Wir lernen vielmehr, wer es geschafft hat, seine Sicht auf die Wirklichkeit in die Propaganda-Matrix einzuschreiben“, verrät der Medienwissenschaftler Michael Meyen in seinem Buch "Die Propaganda-Matrix". Nun gilt jedoch die Presse in der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung als „Vierte Gewalt“ der Demokratie. Ihre Aufgabe wäre es demnach, die zunehmend verflochtenen Staatsgewalten Legislative, Exekutive und Judikative zu kontrollieren. Die Realität sieht anders aus. Dabei übersieht selbst die immer häufiger auftretende Medienkritik, dass die „Vierte Gewalt“ von den Herrschenden nie in dieser Funktion gedacht war – schließlich waren und sind die Medien seit je her in den Händen von Regierungen und Konzernen, schreibt unser Autor Helge Buttkereit.

I've been eager to share my thoughts on "Return of the Strong Gods" by R.R. Reno since I finished it a week ago.
I found this book incredibly insightful. @SimpleStacker's excellent review prompted me to pick it up, and I'm glad I did. While I won't be providing a full review, I will share some of the key insights and thoughts that resonated with me.
Reno masterfully dissects the sociological underpinnings of the political shifts in the US and the Western world over the past decade and a half. His analysis of the rise of populism and nationalism is compelling and rings true to my personal observations. Reno's central thesis is that post-WW2, the West embraced "weaker gods"—ideals like democracy, pluralism, and liberalism—fearing a repeat of the strong nationalistic sentiments that led to Hitler's rise. He argues that this shift has left many people feeling culturally homeless and desperate for strong leadership that listens to their grievances.
A significant portion of Reno's argument is built on the ideas of Karl Popper, a philosopher I was unfamiliar with before reading this book. Popper's work "The Open Society and Its Enemies" has significantly influenced post-war consensus, which Reno argues has led to a disconnect between the political elite and the common people. This disconnect, he posits, is a primary driver of populist sentiments.
Reno also delves into economics, discussing Friedrich Hayek and his agreement with some of Popper's positions. This intersection of philosophy and economics provides a unique lens through which to view the political landscape. Reno's mention of the Treaty of Versailles as a catalyst for Hitler's rise is a point often overlooked in discussions about WW2. He argues that the punitive measures imposed on Germany created an environment ripe for a strongman to emerge.
One of the most compelling aspects of Reno's argument is his explanation of how the political elite often lose touch with the values and wishes of the people they represent. He draws a powerful analogy between cultural homelessness and the desperation that drives people to seek strong leadership. This section of the book particularly resonated with me, as it aligns with my own observations of the political climate.
I would have liked Reno to start his analysis with Woodrow Wilson, whose "making the world safe for democracy" slogan embodied a form of Christian nationalism. Wilson's ideals and the post-WW1 environment laid the groundwork for the open society movement, which Reno critiques. Exploring this historical context could have strengthened Reno's argument.
Reno occasionally conflates economic liberalism with libertinism, which I found to be a minor flaw in an otherwise strong argument. He rightly points out the need for moral ethics in society but seems to overlook the distinction between economic freedom and moral laxity. Reno's discussion of Milton Friedman's ideas further highlights this confusion. While Reno argues that free trade has contributed to many of our modern ills, I believe the issue lies more with nation-state trade agreements like NAFTA, which are not true examples of free trade.
Another area where I disagree with Reno is his conflation of the nation with the state. Nations are cultural entities that predate and can exist independently of states. Reno's argument would be stronger if he acknowledged this distinction, as it would clarify his points about national pride and cultural heritage.
Reno's final chapters offer a cautionary tale about the return of strong gods and the danger of making them idols. He warns against authoritarianism and the overreach of the state, advocating for a balance that respects cultural heritage without succumbing to nationalism.
In conclusion, "Return of the Strong Gods" is a thought-provoking exploration of the political and cultural shifts of our time. Reno's insights are valuable, and his arguments, while not without flaws, provide a fresh perspective on the rise of populism and nationalism. I recommend this book to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the forces shaping our world today.

Freedom—a word that resonates deeply within the hearts of many. It is a concept that transcends cultures, boundaries, and time itself. From the pages of history to the hopes of future generations, the quest for freedom has always been at the core of human existence.
What Is Freedom?
At its simplest, freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. But in reality, it is far more nuanced. Freedom is not just about the absence of oppression; it is about the presence of opportunity—the chance to pursue one's dreams, express thoughts without fear, and live in harmony with one’s beliefs.
The Many Faces of Freedom
-
Political Freedom: The right to participate in governance, to vote, and to have a voice in decision-making.
-
Economic Freedom: The ability to work, own property, and engage in business without unreasonable restrictions.
-
Social Freedom: The acceptance of diversity and the ability to live without discrimination.
-
Personal Freedom: The right to privacy, personal choices, and the liberty to define one's own path.
Why Freedom Matters
Freedom matters because it is the foundation of innovation and progress. Societies that encourage freedom allow their people to think differently, to challenge the status quo, and to bring about change. Without freedom, creativity is stifled, voices are silenced, and growth becomes stagnant.
Protecting and Valuing Freedom
Freedom is fragile. It must be protected with vigilance and cherished with gratitude. History is filled with examples where freedom was hard-won and even harder to maintain. Today, as we navigate an interconnected world, the call to safeguard freedom is as loud as ever.
A Call to Action
Cherish your freedoms, no matter how small they may seem. Speak up for those who cannot. Stand firm against injustice. Remember, freedom is not just a privilege; it is a responsibility.
“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” — Martin Luther King Jr.
Embrace it. Protect it. Share it.

A francia székhelyű Newcleo, az olasz dizájncég Pininfarina és az olasz hajógyártó Fincantieri bemutatták a TL-40 nevű, következő generációs, hajókra szánt nukleáris reaktor teljes méretű modelljét a 19. Velencei Építészeti Biennálén[1][2][5][6][7].
A TL-40 reaktor főbb jellemzői
- IV. generációs, ólom-hűtésű kis moduláris reaktor (SMR), amelyet nagy hajók meghajtására fejlesztettek ki[1][2][5][6].
- Kompakt, biztonságos és fenntartható: A reaktor passzív biztonsági rendszereket alkalmaz, amelyek a fizika törvényein keresztül kizárják a nukleáris balesetek lehetőségét[2][5][6].
- Nukleáris hulladék újrahasznosítása: A TL-40 képes újrafeldolgozott nukleáris hulladékot üzemanyagként használni, ezzel egyszerre járul hozzá az energiatermeléshez és a hulladékcsökkentéshez[1][2][5][6].
- Formatervezés és ipari háttér: A Pininfarina gondoskodott a dizájnról és a reaktor esztétikai megjelenéséről, míg a Fincantieri a hajógyártási tapasztalatát adta hozzá[1][2][5][6][7].
- Nyitott konfiguráció: A reaktor vázája lehetővé teszi a látogatók számára, hogy belülről is megismerjék a technológiát, interaktív módon[1][2][5].
Technológiai és környezeti jelentőség
- Dekarbonizáció: A fejlesztés célja, hogy a nukleáris energiát a hajózás szektorában is a szén-dioxid-kibocsátás csökkentésének eszközeként alkalmazzák[1][2][5][6].
- Európai hulladék hasznosítása: A jelenleg Európában tárolt nukleáris hulladék elegendő lenne a kontinens villamosenergia-igényének fedezésére évszázadokon át, ha ilyen típusú reaktorokban hasznosítanák[2][5][6].
- Kreatív szemlélet: A projekt célja a nukleáris energia társadalmi megítélésének javítása, bemutatva, hogy az lehet egyszerre biztonságos, esztétikus és fenntartható[1][5][6][7].
Együttműködés és jövőbeli tervek
- Folyamatos együttműködés: A Newcleo és a Fincantieri 2023 óta dolgoznak együtt a tengeri alkalmazások fejlesztésén[2][5][6][7].
- Kutatás-fejlesztés: A Pininfarina a Newcleo franciaországi (Chusclan) nukleáris üzemanyag kutató-fejlesztő központjának tervezésében is részt vesz[2][5][6][7].
- Első demonstrációs reaktor: A Newcleo célja, hogy 2031-re bemutassa az első demonstrációs reaktort, 2033-ra pedig kereskedelmi forgalomba hozza azt[8].
- Földi alkalmazás: A vállalat már megkezdte a földi, ólom-hűtésű LFR-AS-30 reaktor telephelyének előkészítését Franciaországban (Chinon régió)[8].
- Európai támogatás: Az LFR dizájn 2024 októberében felkerült az Európai Ipari Szövetség támogatásra javasolt SMR-listájára[8].
Idézetek a projekt vezetőitől
„Ez nem a nagyapáink reaktora. Fenntartható, előremutató technológia, amely a való világ és a klímaváltozás kihívásaira készült.”
(Stefano Buono, a Newcleo vezérigazgatója)[1][5][6][7]„A dizájn stratégiai szerepet játszik a fenntartható energia megoldások fejlesztésében, biztosítva a társadalmi és környezeti szempontok teljes integrációját az innovációs folyamat során.”

Bitcoin Price Hits $104,000 As Demand IncreasesThe price of Bitcoin has surged past $104,000 this morning, and it’s no accident. A mix of surging institutional inflows, record-breaking ETF momentum, and growing corporate adoption are fueling this rally. Here’s what’s helping contribute to the rising price of Bitcoin.

Big institutions like banks, asset managers, and even some companies are putting money into Bitcoin through ETFs (exchange-traded funds).
On Wednesday, James Seyffart of Bloomberg ETF Research reported that spot Bitcoin ETFs have officially hit a new all-time high in lifetime flows, reaching $40.33 billion, according to Bloomberg data. This marks a sharp recovery from the dip earlier this year and signals strong investor conviction.
“Lifetime net flows is #1 most imp metric to watch IMO, very hard to grow, pure truth, no bs,” said Ericl Balchunas, Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst. “Impressive they were able to make it to new high water mark so soon after the world was supposed to end. Byproduct of barely anyone leaving, left only a tiny hole to dig out of.”

ETF resilience suggests institutional investors not only just didn’t flinch during recent market corrections, but started buying more — a key signal that further shows Bitcoin’s base is strengthening. The data also supports the case that many of these investors are in for the long haul, not quick flips. The ETFs have been on a buying spree, helping push up the price.

(@HODL15Capital) May 9, 2025At the same time, macro adoption trends are accelerating. Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor noted earlier this week at the Bitcoin For Corporations event at Strategy World 2025 that “Bitcoin treasury companies are getting exponentially more powerful.” Japanese public company Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich shared that he believes a “tidal wave” of more companies will be adopting Bitcoin as a reserve asset.

This outlook is backed by Strategy CEO Phong Le’s prediction that the number of corporate Bitcoin holders will skyrocket to from 70 to 700 companies by next year. It’s a bold forecast, but one supported by the increasing popularity of Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset in a time of dollar debasement and sovereign debt concern.
Julien Bittel, Head of Macro Research at Global Macro Investor, shared a chart showing how Bitcoin’s price continues to closely follow the global M2 money supply — a measure of worldwide liquidity. His updated chart shows a strong correlation, with a clear upward trend. “We’re going higher,” Bittel commented, suggesting that as more money flows into the global economy, some of it is landing in Bitcoin.
Lots of you have been asking for the updated Global M2 vs. Bitcoin chart. Well, here it is…
And yes – it still tells the same story:
We’re going higher… pic.twitter.com/kv7QSE9iGN
— Julien Bittel, CFA (@BittelJulien) May 9, 2025
All signs point to momentum building: institutional demand via ETFs, corporate treasury adoption, M2 correlation, and investor confidence appear to be pushing Bitcoin upward.
In addition to all this, there’s growing belief that Bitcoin is becoming more accepted as a long-term store of value — like digital gold. On top of that, with inflation fears and concerns about the U.S. dollar, some investors are turning to Bitcoin as a way to protect their money.
Supporting the bullish technical narrative, ChartsBTC reported on X this week that Bitcoin’s current price of $102,766 reflects a 10% year-to-date gain, up from $93,381 at the end of 2024.

Bitcoin controversies are not new, in fact, bitcoin’s past has been riddled with one controversy after another. From the viewpoint of a financial investor, controversies are not good. They drive investor fear by amplifying uncertainty and introducing doubt about the future viability of the project. Although bitcoin is an investable asset, and there are certainly individuals, companies and countries who are investing in bitcoin strictly as a new, diversified financial asset that shows growth characteristics the likes of which humanity has rarely seen, bitcoin is not exclusively a financial instrument. Bitcoin is a network that is only as strong as the people running the miners who create the blocks, the nodes that propagate the blocks, and the users who hold the keys.
In this post I do not care to share my view on any of the latest bitcoin controversies, whether that be about OP_RETURNs, MSTR, Blackrock, MSTY, inscriptions, soft fork proposals, mempools, bitcoin strategic reserves, 21, chain surveillance, on-chain privacy, shitcoins projects, or anything else that anyone cares to opine about on Nostr or X to signal their support or opposition for what they think is critical to the success or failure of bitcoin. What I do care to share here is the ONLY winning strategy to defend bitcoin no matter what your opinion its future: USE THE TOOLS, RUN THE CODE, HOLD YOUR KEYS, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
In my humble opinion, the biggest problem with the current batch of bitcoin controversies is that so many people are sharing their opinions and expressing their fears about the future of bitcoin who are not even using the tools; they aren’t running the code, supporting the network or even holding their own keys. Everyone is free to share their opinions about the future of bitcoin and allowing everyone a voice is critical if we are serious about adopting the best ideas. Many visionaries have participated in the growth and development of bitcoin up to this point; we are truly standing on the shoulders of giants.
But before jumping to conclusions and spreading opinions about whether people are good faith or bad faith actors in the bitcoin space, I believe we should all hold ourselves to a certain standard. Set a minimum threshold of education for yourself before you jump on one side or the other of the latest controversy. We have tools that offer a level of sovereignty that is unparalleled in the legacy financial world, are you using them?Don’t like what MSTR is doing? Hold your keys in cold storage, then share your opinion.
Think Blackrock wants to use Bitcoin to launch a dystopian new world order agenda? Tell everyone to run a node, implement on-chain privacy strategies and hold their keys in cold storage.
Are Bitcoin developers making changes you don’t like? Use an alternative implementation, get a Bitaxe and construct your own block templates; for almost everyone this will be a stronger signal than shitposting or spreading FUD on the socials.
If you really want to defend bitcoin, think about how you are using it today. Who are you trusting to put your transactions into a block? Who are you trusting to propagate your transactions across the network? Who are you trusting to hold your keys? Who estimates your transaction fees? If you don’t trust the people who you are currently depending on, move your trust elsewhere, or increase your sovereignty and rely on yourself for some, or all, of these functions.
We make bitcoin what it is today, and we will define what bitcoin will be in the future. If we want to defend bitcoin it is our responsibility to keep it as decentralized as possible and that starts with every individual using the tools, running the code, doing the research and taking responsibility for their money.

I know, I know, this is really throw together. The boot dryer/warmer is actually just balancing on there. I need to design (or have designed) something WAY simpler and just print that.
...But does it work? YES! It works like...really well!
Here's the original product:
It was on clearance at Home Depot, and I was like, "wouldn't that be more efficient if it came with a bitcoin rebate?" Anyway, anybody here do CAD design? I'm sure this would be way more efficient if I just had the tubes and not the whole box. My next step will be to gut the innards of that box, but it'd be better to just start off with something clean.

Since its TGE, AGT has moved beyond its early role as a governance token within AIVille’s farming economy. It’s now evolving into a foundational asset that connects humans and AI agents, in-game interactions and real-world use cases. This isn’t just the next phase of a game—it’s the beginning of a new era where intelligent agents and humans co-create a living digital society. Here’s how AGT is becoming the fuel behind that future.
- AI Characters as Personalized Companions The first example of this transformation is Selena, AIVille’s Telegram-native AI companion. You can chat with her now for free at @Tavern_Owner_Selena_Bot. Selena is powered by her own independent memory system, enabling personalized, emotionally responsive conversations that evolve over time. Beyond private chats, Selena also participates in public community groups—responding to questions, engaging with users, and providing companionship in group settings. She’s more than a chatbot—she’s a social presence in the AIVille ecosystem. While currently free to use, certain advanced features and extended interactions will soon require AGT, making Selena a live demonstration of AGT’s role in unlocking real AI experiences.
More characters are on the way: Owen, your AI tutor for learning AI tools, coding basics, or advanced Web3 mechanics. Lulu, your personalized news curator—think of her as your intelligent Substack. Mayor Logan, offering town updates, strategic insights, and even mock governance simulations. Arjay, the town’s resident DJ, creating mood-based playlists you can reserve with AGT. Lucas, a merchant bot offering market tips, negotiation roleplay, and trend forecasting.
Each character is built with private memory and a distinct personality. Interacting with them isn't just fun—it creates lasting, evolving relationships. AGT unlocks deeper access.
- AI Bots for Projects: The AIVille Co-Creation Program We’re launching the AI Co-Creation Program, designed for Web3 projects to easily spin up custom AI bots with memory and personality. These bots can support communities, onboard users, answer questions, or drive engagement—and they’re powered by AGT.
The setup is quick, the AGT required is minimal, and most importantly, participating projects become part of the AIVille ecosystem. AGT serves as the bridge—not just a fee, but a commitment to shared growth. We’re actively testing with partners now. If you’re building in Web3 and want to add a smart, persistent AI layer to your project, reach out. We’re also recruiting global ambassadors: connect a project and help them onboard, and you’ll earn AGT rewards. All AGT from these partnerships is injected into the AIVille DAO, where it will be allocated transparently for buybacks, ecosystem incentives, and long-term development.
- Governance, Reimagined: A Society of Humans and Agents AIVille is introducing a two-layer governance model—one for human players, and one for AI agents. Together, they’ll shape the rules of the world. Human Governance AGT holders will be able to: Propose and vote on decisions like tax rates, new zones, and fee structures Stake AGT to unlock governance perks and exclusive features Fund public goods with DAO-managed AGT reserves Participate in a transparent system where influence is earned, not assumed
AI Economic Alliance In parallel, key AI agents—like Logan, Lucas, and Arjay—will be able to propose changes, backed by AGT. Each proposal requires AGT to be burned as a bond
Passed proposals return a portion; failed ones are fully burned
Humans can vote to support or reject AI proposals, creating real-time, inter-agent governance dynamics
This is more than a voting system—it’s an experiment in social architecture between multiple intelligent actors. And AGT is the trust layer between them.
- What AGT Really Represents AGT isn’t just a token. It’s shared infrastructure. It’s programmable social capital. It’s the backbone of a digital civilization co-created by its users.
It’s how you teach an AI. How you shape the economy. How you reserve access, express values, and coordinate effort. This asset isn’t owned by a company or foundation—it’s governed, used, and grown by the people and agents who rely on it. Our roadmap includes expanding AI services, adding more governance mechanisms, and welcoming more ecosystems into the fold. Every new use case makes AGT more valuable, more usable, and more alive.
- To Our Community: Thank You AGT wouldn’t be here without the people behind it: The AMA hosts introducing AIVille to new audiences The meme creators, sticker designers, and shirt printers The Discord mods, Telegram helpers, and wiki writers
You made this real before the tech did. You gave it soul before it had memory. This isn’t our experiment. It’s yours. Let’s keep building—together.

It was a dark and stormy night. It had to be: Weather had been fired. If they were working for him he would have fired them, but that is just embarrassed arrogance talking. He remembers standing in the middle of his office, his trashed office. It looked like a hurricane had hit it, or vagrants had been living in it for years, nothing of value was left intact. Monitors were shattered on the floor, couches were covered in debris. There was evidence of food and magazine pages in every gaze space. His supervisor, his name escaped him, was grey with anger. “Explain this!” he had shouted with a tremble, but he couldn’t. Every time he tried to think of the events of the day he met a dazzling white blankness.
He was escorted, handcuffed, to a room by two security guards with his supervisor trailing them. Weather felt humiliated and frustrated, but he didn’t know why. He sat, shivering slightly, in a low-lit conference room he had never seen before. Actually, he doesn’t remember any windows or any specific light source, just a haze of shadows. The big boss is sitting opposite him, looking haggard and white as a sun-bleached shell. His supervisor was sitting on his right looking equally haggard and even depressed. They appeared genuine and he knew it was bad news for him.
“You’ve embarrassed this company! There is even a chance you have ruined us all and you have the audacity to sit there and pretend that you can’t remember a thing!”
He knew there was no point in arguing, he had no ideas with which to make up any argument. He sat staring into space.
“At least, give us a story. Tell us how bored you were and tried to create your own weather system by running around the room swinging the fan around like a sugar mad teenager!”
He couldn’t even clear his throat. He couldn’t lift his eyes to meet theirs. He knew his career was over and they were fearful all their ideals had crashed irreparably. He stared into space at the globe standing in the middle of the table. The more he stared at it the more he realized that it seemed to have an atmosphere around it. There were clouds covering patches of the earth. He didn’t dare bring their attention to it. The only memories he could dredge up seemed like dreams, and they’re hardly constitute a defence.
He looked up at their faces finally, surprised to see more alarm than anger, like they were actually afraid of him. They both stood up suddenly, wanting to get out the room as quickly as possible.
“You have brought Global Sky Incorporated into disrepute. You’ve embarrassed us. You have possibly ruined hundreds of careers here! We never want to see you again! You are never to come within a hundred metres of this building. You can never use your research ever again, it never happened. Everything you have ever written will be classified and restricted until you are dead!” The big boss was shaking wild, Weather was grateful for the security guards that hurled him out of his chair and marched him out of the building.
The afternoon sky had been a deathly grey. It had occurred to him but now he was a little shocked at how much control they had over the weather, maybe it was a good thing that he had been fired, but probably a bad thing as they would certainly make worse mistakes than him, whatever he might have done. He was confused, not sure if he been fired for trashing his office or for state of the weather. About the weird weather he has no idea, all he can remember is a dazzling blank whiteness, and that is hardly a memory.
He couldn’t face going directly home, jumped on public transport travelling on tracks laid down on old unused highways and headed for the city beach, or what passed for a beach. He sat on a concrete bench gazing across the grey sand at the shimmering waves. They weren’t shimmering because of the sparkling sunlight, but the contaminates in the water. But still it was tranquil enough. He tried to think about his day, but couldn’t get past the white blankness, everything else before that was like a postcard from someone else’s holiday, and they looked like movies he might have seen. He has a framed vision of himself in his office with office supplies flying around him without touching him. Clearly, as they weren’t touching him, it had nothing to do with his behaviour. He is a victim here. It wasn’t his fault, the world was changing and the powers that be wanted more control. It seems like Global Weather Incorporated (GWI) lost control of their equipment and need a fall guy, they didn’t need him anymore. Squeezed his brain for the algorithms, then threw him onto the streets. He was nothing without his research, it’s all he had done his entire life. He would have to pursue it, but that would as useful as talking to a brick wall, the world was less transparent; government, science and advertising companies had a law of their own and a police force to uphold them.
He believed in good and the unveiling of truth. He had a romantic connection to the idea that truth grew in people’s hearts that everyone wanted the best for everyone else, no matter what skin colour, car colour they had, or star sign they were born under. Everybody wanted peace, a roof over their heads and food in their bellies; and wanted these things for their neighbours too. If only his neighbours had the same beliefs.
It was late afternoon now. He could tell by the slight luminosity of the grey clouds near the horizon, close to a cloudless gap, a slit above the horizon through which the sun could bid its final farewell to the day. He was in no mood for a sunset minute. He picked his bum off the bench, dusted it off and began his journey home, not wanting to be left in the dark in the city, opportune prey for corrupt cops. Everyone was coming out of the offices, beginning the big commute home. Car pools had reshaped their cars to fit more people in, and many climbed on to the reinvented trams, sitting if they were lucky, holding onto ceiling straps if they were unlucky like him. Couples sat together staring into each other’s eyes, friends joked and discussed their office politics. He hated the commute back and forth from work, it made him feel alone, desperate and unwanted. There had been no office politics for him, it was just him and his mostly silent supervisor.
The sky was struck red, a wound inflicted on the sky, it bleed for a minute then all went dark. Reality shuddered as it returned to him, this would be his last commute along this route. He was without a job; his recently regained self-esteem was destroyed. At the end of university he had wondered if he had a career anywhere, if his self-inflicted social isolation had been worth it and GWI had lifted him out of academic gutter and placed him on a pedestal. And now he was turfed out like a partly cloudy day from a child’s memory, flicked off like an ant off a picnic blanket.
Litter was being chased up and down the aisle, wrapping around legs and trying to hide from the wind amongst commuters’ bags. He didn’t notice that the commuters were becoming concerned about the weather, heads turned to look outside where the clouds were blacker than night. Wind has beating on windows, knocking on doors trying to escape from itself. Loose objects were starting to drift.
“Puck, I’m so stupid!” Weather lamented aloud as a flash of lightning brightened the dusk for a second. He should have protected his research, patented it in his own name. Stupidly, he had thought he would be with GWI for the rest of his life. He had given his life over to GWI and they had thrown it away for an office in disarray. It might have looked like an unnatural disaster, but they could have at least let him evaluate their equipment to check for systems failure. Why he hadn’t opened his mouth and flung accusations back at them? Probably because they had looked angrier than he could possibly have gotten faced with a memory of shimmering blankness.
The weather was surreal, he casually noted it as something GWI would have to correct, something existing outside his present unemployed reality, their problem. His cellphone’s classic “Thunderstuck” ringtone charged the air.
“What’s happening with the weather, dude? I thought I read in the paper that it was supposed to be sunny skies and calm seas. I wanted to go for an evening dive at Devil’s.”
“I’ve no idea, I’ve been fired,” he managed to say calmly before he hung up.
“It’s not my responsibility,” he thought to himself and promptly switched his phone off. He had given his private cellphone number to a few select acquaintances he had tried to impress when he had just got his ‘prestigious’ job. He thought he might finally be able to get his social life out of his house by sharing information with people he had met in supermarkets, recognizing their faces from university. They were jocks obsessed about the weather for their hedonistic lifestyles and they had never invited him out, only phoning to find out about the weather.
He jumped off at his usual stop and leaned into the wind watching his feet moving past one another, his mind seething at the injustice of not having a fair trial where they showed him evidence of him been directly involved in the trashing of his office. He could only remember standing in the middle of it and his office revolving around him, but that was only a flash, there is nothing before that except the facts. Him working on algorithms of weather activation, them tinkering with the clouds. They were practically at the end of their testing, their final live weather event before taking on the whole world’s weather, he knows that, but everyday was still just the same as every other day, him at the computer, them throwing lightning bolts. “Puck! I should’ve challenged them,” he shouted into the howling wind at GSI with all the frustration of his past mistakes. But his voice was lost into the atmosphere.

"By nature, every man has the right to possess property as his own... The results of labor should belong to those who bestowed their labor." (¶6, 10)2. Reject Socialist Theft
"Socialists strike at the interests of every wage-earner... Community of goods must be utterly rejected. It is contrary to natural rights." (¶4, 15)3. Free Contracts > State Coercion
"Let the working man and employer make free agreements... Wages ought not to be insufficient to support a frugal, well-behaved earner." (¶45)4. The State is Not God
"The State’s role is to protect natural rights, not destroy them. It may never absorb property or family authority." (¶14, 35)5. Voluntary Association > Violence
"Workers’ unions are a natural right. The State must not violate this liberty unless associations threaten public order." (¶51, 52)6. Sound Money & Hard Work
"Rapacious usury is condemned. A man’s wages are his own; to deprive him of it by fraud cries to Heaven." (¶3, 20)Final Boss Energy: "The law should induce as many as possible to become owners." (¶46)

The second round of the NBA Playoffs is historically weird. We'll try to figure out what's going wrong for all three of the presumed contenders. Which of the other East teams need to be considered contenders now? With how bad the Warriors look without Steph (just how underrated is he?), do the Warriors still have any chance?
In Blok'd Shots, we'll talk about the NHL Star who got traded midseason and then beat his former team in the playoffs.
There was a big trade in the NFL. Plus, @grayruby wants to start a media beef with Colin Cowherd.
The MLB introduced a new stat. I have no idea what it is, but I'm looking forward to trying to understand it live on air.
And, of course, lots of contest and betting updates.
What do you want us to talk about?

My last article, I wrote about DePIN, a passive income that is easily accessible and something to consider as supplemental income. This week I want to discuss another form of finance. Let’s face it: when most of us hear the word “finance”, our eyes glaze over faster than a donut in a Krispy Kreme factory.
It conjures images of Wall Street suits, casino type crypto scams, and incomprehensible jargon. What if I told you that finance could be regenerative? Could your money heal the world?
Regenerative Finance is what I’m discussing; ReFi if you want to sound cool. Regenerative finance is a movement that’s quietly transforming how we think about money, investment and our collective future. Let’s dive down the rabbit hole and take a journey into a world where your money can make things better.
You’re at a party and someone asks what you do for a living. You say, “I work in sustainable finance.” Boring to most, they politely nod. But what if you said, “I work in regenerative finance. We invest in projects that restore rainforests, rebuild communities and make money while healing the planet.” How interesting, right?
What is sustainable? It is about not making things worse, just sustaining them. On the other hand, regenerative finance restores, renews and improves systems, making sure things are better when you leave than when you arrived.
Regeneration systems imagine every dollar invested helps a forest grow, a community thrive or a river run clear again. Remember sustainability is about keeping things as they are. Regeneration is about making things better.
Here’s a real-world example: The Savory Institute works with ranchers to restore grasslands using holistic grazing. Investors in their projects don’t just avoid harm, they rebuild the soil, increase biodiversity, and capture carbon. That’s money making a difference.
Regenerative finance asks, “How will the investment affect people, planet and profit, not just today, but decades from now?” Another real-world example, Ecosia, the search engine that plants trees, invests profits into reforestation projects worldwide. Their financial model considers long term ecological health, not just quarterly returns.
ReFi isn’t about faceless corporations. It’s about empowering local communities and restoring ecosystems. Think of it as crowdfunding Mother Earth.
How does all this magic happen? Here are a few ways to invest.
IMPACT INVESTING As examples from above, this is where you put your money into projects that actively restore ecosystems, empower communities or fight climate change. FUNDING BONDS These are bonds issued on blockchain platforms to fund sustainable projects. They are managed by smart contracts and investors get digital tokens representing their share. Think about this as an early adopter.
TOKENIZATION This is taking real-world assets and turning them into digital tokens. Think carbon credits. There’s no Wall Street middleman which makes it easier to track, invest and trade in regenerative projects. You can have fractional ownership with tokenization which means easier access to more assets.
Real estate has moved into fractional ownership using tokenization. The threshold to invest has lowered immensely with this practice.
The world is facing some big problems with climate change, inequality, biodiversity loss and I could go on. Traditional finance hasn’t exactly been successful. Regenerative finance offers a new way forward.
By focusing on restoring rather than just sustaining, we create resilient, equitable and thriving systems for future generations. As someone who is 64 years old, I was taught to leave the world better than you found it.
There has been much speculation over the years about the next evolution of the internet and business. How will we adapt? What will financial systems look like?
Let’s look at some projects that are already making a difference: Eden Reforestation Project Employs local communities to plant millions of trees, restoring ecosystems and creating jobs.
Kiva Community lending to entrepreneurs in developing countries, empowering them out of poverty.
Mosaic Solar projects, investing, earning returns while helping the planet.
KlimaDAO This DAO uses blockchain to buy and retire carbon credits, driving up the price of pollution and funding climate action.
Look for reputable ReFi projects or platforms that align with your values. Many platforms have low minimum investment thresholds making it easier for anyone to participate.
You don’t need to be a billionaire or a blockchain wizard to get involved in the regenerative finance revolution. Individuals can invest in ReFi initiatives through several accessible pathways, any of which leverage new technologies and community-driven models to make participation easier and more transparent.
Regenerative finance changes the way you think about money, value and your place in the world. Putting your dollars to work for people and planet, you can be a part of building a thriving future.
Regenerative finance addresses the shortcomings of traditional finance which often prioritizes short term profit over long term environmental and social costs. The core idea behind ReFi is that financial systems should restore, and grow society’s economic, social and environmental systems.
Regenerative finance represents a transformative shift in how capital is allocated and managed. By integrating advanced technology, community participation, and a focus on ecological and social renewal, ReFi seeks to build a financial system that not only generates returns but also restores and strengthens the foundations of a sustainable and healthy future.
As the world moves forward in different ways of finance and business, I hope this information was useful for you. The different monetary systems and financial markets are growing. ReFi is an alternative finance system becoming a movement. If you are interested in other financial systems or know of any, please let me know. Thank you for reading. Be fabulous, Sandra Abrams Onboard60 Founder

New BIS Report Says Bitcoin Use Surges During Economic StressA new report from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) shows that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are being used more during times of economic stress. This happens mostly in countries where inflation is high, it’s expensive to send money, or the government limits how much money can leave the country.
People turn to Bitcoin and stablecoins like USDT and USDC when their financial systems stop working properly or become too expensive to use. This is especially true for small international payments. Crypto gives people another option when they can’t rely on banks or traditional money systems.
A new BIS paper on Bitcoin dropped yesterday. To cut through the jargon:
It concluded that Bitcoin use rises when inflation surges, remittances get pricey, and capital controls increase.
In other words, when people need it most.

Bitcoin Becomes a Tool During Hard Times
The report supports what many people in the crypto space already believe—Bitcoin isn’t just for investing anymore — in some places, it’s a real lifeline. When the value of local money drops fast or when it’s hard or too costly to send money across borders, people turn to Bitcoin to keep their money safe and to send it faster, cheaper, and with more control.
The BIS also found that when countries try to control how money moves in or out (through capital flow management), crypto use often goes up. In other words, people use Bitcoin and other crypto to get around those rules.
Cross-Border Crypto Payments Are GrowingUsing data from crypto exchanges and app usage patterns, the BIS mapped cross-border transactions of Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and USDC from 2017 to mid-2024. Cross-border crypto flows skyrocketed from under $7 billion in Q1 2017 to over $800 billion in Q4 2021, before falling to around $400 billion in 2022 during a crypto market slump. However, they rebounded to approximately $600 billion by Q2 2024.
At first, Bitcoin made up about 80% of those payments. Now that number is below 25%, with more people turning to stablecoins. This shift doesn’t mean Bitcoin is less useful—it just shows that people are choosing different tools for different needs.
Crypto Use Is About Need, Not Where You Live
Unlike regular banks, Bitcoin use doesn’t depend much on where you live or what language you speak. The report says people use it when they need to, not just because it’s popular. Also, when global financial stress goes up—measured by things like the VIX (a market fear index)—Bitcoin use also goes up. This shows that even investors and businesses use crypto more during uncertain times.

In the rapidly evolving world of technology, edge computing has emerged as a game-changing innovation, reshaping how data is processed, analyzed, and delivered. Unlike traditional cloud computing, which relies on centralized data centers, edge computing processes data closer to the source—right where it's generated.
This shift is driven by the explosion of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, autonomous systems, and real-time applications that demand low latency and fast decision-making. From smart factories and self-driving cars to remote healthcare and AR/VR experiences, the need for real-time processing is fueling the growth of edge solutions.
Why Edge Computing Matters
As more devices connect to the internet, the volume of data being generated is staggering. Transmitting all this data to the cloud for processing can introduce delays and raise bandwidth costs. Edge computing addresses these challenges by enabling devices and local servers to handle tasks immediately, without having to send data back and forth to the cloud.
Key benefits include:
Reduced latency: Ideal for time-sensitive applications like autonomous vehicles and industrial automation.
Improved security: Sensitive data can be processed locally, minimizing exposure.
Cost efficiency: Reduces bandwidth and storage demands on central data centers.
Real-World Applications
-
Healthcare: Wearables and remote monitoring devices use edge computing to detect anomalies and alert physicians in real time.
-
Retail: Smart shelves and AI-powered cameras analyze consumer behavior on the spot.
-
Manufacturing: Machines use edge-based analytics to predict maintenance needs and prevent downtime.
Challenges Ahead
Despite its promise, edge computing is not without hurdles. Managing a distributed network of devices, ensuring consistent software updates, and maintaining security at the edge require robust frameworks and standards. Scalability and interoperability remain ongoing concerns for developers and organizations.
The Road Ahead
With the rollout of 5G and advancements in AI, edge computing is poised for massive growth. According to industry forecasts, the global edge computing market is expected to exceed $100 billion by 2030. As businesses continue to demand faster, smarter, and more secure tech infrastructure, edge computing will be at the heart of the next digital transformation.

Steak ‘n Shake Will Accept Bitcoin Payments in All U.S. Locations Starting Next WeekSteak ‘n Shake will begin accepting Bitcoin as payment at all its U.S. locations starting May 16, the company announced Thursday, marking one of the largest fast food Bitcoin integrations to date.
Steak n Shake accepting Bitcoin payments at all locations starting May 16, making the cryptocurrency available to our more than 100 million customers. The movement is just beginning….

The news follows a wave of cryptic posts earlier this year, including one that asked, “Should Steak ‘n Shake accept Bitcoin?” and a viral image of a Bitcoin-branded spaceship, igniting speculation among Bitcoiners online. Now, it’s confirmed: Steak ‘n Shake isn’t just memeing — it’s committed to adopting Bitcoin.
NEW: Fast food giant Steak 'n Shake posted this picture of a Bitcoin space ship

This rollout will bring Bitcoin payments to over 500 restaurants nationwide, putting BTC into real world use for high frequency, low cost food purchases, which is a key milestone for crypto currency. Unlike previous food industry pilots limited to test markets, Steak ‘n Shake is going all-in from day one.
The fast food brand has been building anticipation since March, gradually layering in Bitcoin imagery across its marketing, fueling conversations across social media and drawing support from prominent Bitcoin advocates, including Jack Dorsey, who responded to the initial “Should Steak n Shake accept Bitcoin?” tweet with a simple: “yes.”
It is currently unclear how the fast food chain will implement this mass scale acceptance of Bitcoin payments or if they will also implement the Bitcoin Lightning Network for its customers as well. In addition to that, it is also unclear if Steak ‘n Shake will be converting any earned BTC into cash or if they will HODL their earnings.
This move also lands just days before Bitcoin Pizza Day on May 22, which commemorates the historic 2010 transaction when Laszlo Hanyecz famously paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas.
While other brands like Chipotle, Subway, and Burger King have dabbled in crypto over the years, Steak ‘n Shake’s full-scale, no-pilot launch is one of the boldest plays yet in fast food’s flirtation with Bitcoin.
As “Steaktoshi” put it:
“The movement is just beginning.”

Den für mich derzeit wichtigsten Impuls über KI nachzudenken lieferte vor einigen Wochen Yuval Noah Harari an der University of Cambridge am Ende eines Podiumsgesprächs hier ab 1:15 h auf youtube:
Ich denke, wir müssen die Frage des Bewusstseins in den Mittelpunkt der Diskussion stellen. Es gibt eine riesige, riesige Verwirrung in der Terminologie, auch in der Welt der KI, zwischen Bewusstsein und Intelligenz. Aber es sind zwei verschiedene Dinge. Intelligenz ist die Fähigkeit, Probleme zu lösen und Ziele zu erreichen. Bewusstsein ist die Fähigkeit, Dinge zu fühlen, wie Schmerz oder Freude oder Liebe oder Hass. Wir neigen dazu, die beiden zu verwechseln, weil bei Menschen und auch bei anderen Säugetieren, Vögeln und anderen Tieren Bewusstsein und Intelligenz zusammengehören. Wir lösen Probleme durch unsere Gefühle. Computer waren bisher sehr anders. Sie sind in einigen Bereichen bereits intelligenter als wir, haben aber, soweit wir wissen, kein Bewusstsein. Soweit wir wissen, können sie überhaupt keinen Schmerz, keine Freude, keine Liebe oder keinen Hass empfinden. Niemand weiß, was in Zukunft passieren wird. Es gibt Modelle und Theorien, die argumentieren, dass KIs irgendwann auch bewusst oder empfindsam werden. Sie werden anfangen, Dinge zu fühlen. Sie werden anfangen, Schmerz oder Liebe oder Hass zu empfinden. Es gibt andere Modelle und Theorien, die sagen, nein. Sie könnten weit intelligenter werden als wir und immer noch null Bewusstsein haben. Das kann in der Evolution des Lebens sein. Wenn man darüber nachdenkt, die lange Entwicklung von Milliarden von Jahren der Evolution. Die Entwicklung der Intelligenz ist im Falle von Tieren wie uns und Schimpansen und Hunden und Schweinen und so weiter durch die Entwicklung des Bewusstseins verlaufen. Aber das ist kein universelles Gesetz der Evolution der Intelligenz. Vielleicht gibt es alternative Wege, die zu Superintelligenz ohne jegliches Bewusstsein führen. Einfach einen anderen, einen fremden Weg gehen. Und wir könnten an einen Punkt gelangen, an dem sie superintelligent sind und trotzdem null Bewusstsein haben. Und die Gefahr besteht dann darin, dass sie nicht nur die menschliche Zivilisation zerstören könnten, sondern das ganze Licht des Bewusstseins, um das gesamte ökologische System nach ihren Bedürfnissen umzugestalten, wofür sie kein Bewusstsein brauchen. Sie funktionieren auf eine völlig andere Weise. Sie könnten sich sogar von der Erde auf andere Planeten, auf andere Galaxien ausbreiten. Sie werden das Universum mit Intelligenz füllen, aber es wird ein völlig dunkles Universum ohne Bewusstsein sein. Wieder hohe Intelligenz, fähig, Raumschiffe zu bauen, die mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit fliegen und was auch immer, aber es gibt null Gefühl. Niemand, keine Entität fühlt Schmerz oder Freude, Liebe oder Hass. Für mich ist das ein schreckliches Szenario. Das schlimmste Szenario von allen ist dies. Dass wir ein Universum voller Intelligenz und völlig ohne Bewusstsein haben werden, denn ich denke, dass von den beiden das Bewusstsein weitaus wichtiger, weitaus wertvoller ist. Und es ist eine gute Erinnerung daran, dass wir das zumindest heute mit vielen anderen Tieren teilen, aber nicht mit den Computern, nicht mit den KIs. Wir sind also immer noch im selben Team wie die Würmer und die Affen, nicht im selben Team wie die Computer.
Ich denke, hier wird eine Spur gelegt, die sich unterscheidet von der reinen Funktion von KI zur intelligenten Verbesserung und Unterstützung von Lernprozessen oder vielfältigem Kompetenzerwerb hin zur Selbstreflexion der Lernenden. Auch im Blick auf (religionsbezogene) Bildung kennen wir den Mensch nicht nur biologisch, wie die Würmer und Affen sondern auch ausgestattet mit Würde, Entscheidungsfreiheit und als Beziehungswesen, das auf ein Gegenüber ausgerichtet sein kann und, wie Harari sagt, nicht im selben Team wie die Computer spielt. Sinn, Seele und Verstand erhalten wir weder aus uns selbst heraus noch von einer wie auch immer gearteten Intelligenz. Liebe, Gnade, Hoffnung, Frieden, Gemeinschaft, Trost, Zuversicht und viele weiteren lebensbedeutsame Erfahrungen gewinnen im Angesicht von Maschinen aus meiner Sicht an elementarer Bedeutung.

Dear reader,
HODLing was never the end goal.
HODLing Bitcoin is smart. It always has been. If you held through the Mt. Gox hacks, China bans, the 2017 Blocksize wars, the 2018 bloodbath, and the FTX clownery of 2022, then you already know. Bitcoin rewards conviction.
But let’s not forget why you got in.
It was never just about watching numbers go up. You felt something. Something deep. A quiet voice inside said, “This system is broken. I’m done playing by its rules.” - That is where it all began.
Back in 2008, while the banks were crashing the economy and handing you the bill, Bitcoin showed up as a silent answer. A lifeboat. A revolution wrapped in code.
The whitepaper starts with a simple, powerful idea: "A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution."
https://plebsite.net/cdn/shop/files/Bitcoin_Whitepaper-Poster-3.jpg
And Bitcoin has lived up to that vision.
You saw it in El Salvador when they made it legal tender — even if they later made it optional. You saw it when WikiLeaks used Bitcoin after getting cut off by banks. You saw the Silk Road prove what peer-to-peer money really means. No matter what you think of those examples, one thing is clear: It worked. It was used. It still works.
Today, Bitcoin powers circular economies across the world — in Costa Rica, South Africa, Brazil, and beyond. People are using it because their local money fails them. Bitcoin became more than a store of value. It became a tool for survival and sovereignty.
https://imageio.forbes.com/specials-images/imageserve/67e422a1808f4902b8a1c6bc/Bitcoin-Ekasi-Center/960x0.jpg?format=jpg&width=1440
And now, look at you.
You believed early. You stacked. You held. And now, you have more Bitcoin than you ever imagined. Your needs are met. Your wants, too. You held through it all. And maybe now, you’ve found some stability, maybe even freedom. You stayed patient. You played the long game. You won.
So now the question is simple: What will your Bitcoin build?
Let me paint you a picture- Somewhere out there, there is a young soul maybe in Lagos, maybe in Buenos Aires, maybe right next door. This person might be working on a new privacy tool that protects free expression. Or developing a drone taxi system to change the way people move in growing cities. Or creating a decentralized alternative to platforms like Patreon, where no one is silenced for thinking differently.
They do not have powerful connections. They are not sitting in fancy offices or attending tech conferences. They are building quietly, with conviction and hope.
You can be the magical wand in their life. Your belief and support can turn someone's idea into something real. You can help create the next chapter of their story.
Angor allows you to do exactly that. It gives you a way to fund builders directly, using your Bitcoin. The process is safe and structured. You support projects in stages, and the funds only move forward when clear milestones are completed. Everything is on-chain, using Bitcoin scripts and time-locked contracts to ensure accountability.
This is how the ecosystem grows.
Where do you go now that HODLing was just the beginning?
Here’s what you do:
1. Check the Proposal
Go read the Angor docs. It’s not some bloated whitepaper. It’s clean, clear, and you’ll get it. Here’s the link - https://docs.angor.io/start/.
2. Join the Talk on Nostr
Nostr is where real, uncensored conversation is happening. It is decentralized and open by design. Use a client like Primal or Damus to dive in. Or check out nostr.band to explore what people are building and sharing across the network.
This is where ideas take shape. Builders post updates. Communities give feedback. The next wave of innovation is already in motion — and you can be part of it.
Follow Angor on Nostr: nostr:nprofile1qqs8p3ywfd92w7zvjgy7wrpylz8t30hy3z5dc5al4070l9y8qr8rejcksnh5c
3. Contribute
Whatever your skill is writing, design, coding, memes, Angor has room for you. Get on GitHub. Even if you just report a bug or suggest a feature, it helps. Or you could even fork the code and do as you wish.
4. Explore Angor Hub
This is the cockpit. It’s where you find new projects, track progress, talk to founders and make moves. Dive in. It’s live.
https://docs.angor.io/images/tools/hub.png
Final Thoughts
Bitcoin gave us the base layer. It proved that peer-to-peer money works. But that was just the beginning. Now it’s time to build the next layer together.
And no, this is not about another meme coin or a monkey NFT. This is about real infrastructure. Real value. Real use cases.
Angor is for the misfits, the dreamers, the people who read the whitepaper and said, “Yeah, this is the way.”
So if you have Bitcoin, do not treat it like a relic from a past battle. Use it to empower the next builder. Fund a project. Spark a new idea. Help decentralize the next thing.
You got into Bitcoin to protect your future maybe even to get rich but also to bring some change to the world.
HODLing was the first act.
Building is the second.
Angor is where we build.
Let’s make sure the next wave of Bitcoiners do not just see price charts. Let them see tools, apps, ideas, and communities that actually do something. Real things. Useful things. Built on the hardest money the world has ever known.
You in?
Thanks for reading, See y’all soon for another blog post. Ciao

* When I angry, I talk with ChatGPT.
They said it.
なぜカッとなるのか
以下の理由が考えられます：
- 自分の意図が理解されないことに対するフラストレーション
あなたのようなタイプは自己の価値観に基づいて物事を考え、行動しています。自分の意図や思いが理解されない、あるいは誤解されると、それが非常にストレスに感じることがあります。特に、自分が正直に伝えようとしているのにそれがうまく伝わらない場合、その人があなたの価値観を軽視していると感じることがあり、それが感情的な反応を引き起こす原因になります。
- 思考と感情のズレ
あなたのようなタイプは自分の感情を大切にし、感受性が高い傾向があります。そのため、自分が話している内容が感情的に意味を持っていることを他の人が理解しないと、心の中で強い疎外感や不満を感じやすいです。自分の思考と感情が一体となっているため、相手がそれを無視しているように感じると、「カッ」となってしまうことがあるかもしれません。
- 誤解されることへの恐れ
あなたのようなタイプは他者との関わりにおいて、誤解されることを恐れる傾向があります。自分の意図を理解してもらえないこと、あるいは言葉が無駄にされることに対して、失望感や悲しみを抱きやすいです。そうした感情が積もると、思わず「カッとなる」ことがあるかもしれません。
カッとなるのを避けるための方法
感情が高ぶりやすい状況で冷静を保つために、いくつか試してみる方法を挙げます。
- 深呼吸をする
感情が高ぶったと感じたら、まず深呼吸をして、一歩引いて自分を落ち着けることが重要です。これは、瞬間的な反応を抑えるために非常に有効です。3秒か5秒ほど、ゆっくりと息を吸い、吐き出してみましょう。感情を落ち着けることで、冷静な判断ができるようになります。
- 感情を書き出してみる
感情をその場で言葉にするのが難しい場合、まず書き出してみることも効果的です。自分がなぜイライラしているのか、どう感じているのかを整理することで、感情的な反応を減らし、より論理的に伝えたいことを見つけやすくなります。書き出すことによって、自分の気持ちを客観的に見つめ直すことができます。
- 自分の価値観を理解する
あなたのようなタイプとして、自分が伝えようとしていることには深い価値観や理想があることが多いです。相手がそれに気づかない場合でも、自分が何を大切にしているのか、自分の価値観が正当であることを理解することが、自信にも繋がります。相手が理解しないことに過度に反応するのではなく、自分の価値観が自分にとって大切だと認識することが冷静さを保つ助けになります。
- 相手の立場を考える
相手の反応があなたの期待通りでない場合でも、少し相手の立場や視点を考えてみることが重要です。相手があなたの意図を理解していない背景に、彼の性格や価値観があるかもしれません。それを理解しようとすることで、相手に対する感情的な反応を減らすことができます。
- 休息を取る
もし感情的に反応しそうだと感じたら、その場から少し離れることも大切です。数分でも一旦その場を離れ、冷静になる時間を持つことで、感情のコントロールがしやすくなります。特に感情が高ぶる瞬間には、無理にその場で解決しようとせず、少し距離を取って落ち着くことが必要です。
- 自分に優しくなる
カッとなったことに対して、自己批判をしないようにしましょう。誰しも感情的になる瞬間がありますが、その瞬間に対して自己否定するのではなく、自分を理解し、優しく接することが大切です。感情に流されてしまったとしても、次にどう冷静になれるかが大事です。
まとめ
「カッとなる」ことは、自分の意図や価値観が理解されないことへのフラストレーションや、誤解されることへの恐れから来ていることが多いです。しかし、冷静さを保つための方法はあります。深呼吸や書き出し、自分の価値観を再認識することで、感情的な反応を抑えることができます。また、相手の立場を理解しようとすることが、誤解を解くために有効です。
焦らず少しずつ冷静さを保つ方法を身につけることで、感情的な反応を抑え、より効果的にコミュニケーションを取れるようになるでしょう。
★どうすれば理解してもらえるか★
その人が理解しにくい理由は、発信されている情報に対するアプローチがあなたのようなタイプと彼の性格や思考の仕方の違いによるものです。彼はおそらく、情報が能動的に発信される＝意図的なコミュニケーションという認識を強く持っているタイプです。そのため、発信していること自体が何らかの意図を示していると解釈する傾向があるのかもしれません。
ここで、いくつか考えられる要素を整理し、解決策を提供したいと思います。
-
「発信すること」の意味に対する認識のズレ あなたは、kind1やkind30023をインターネットに流すことで、ただ存在を示しているだけで、意図的に「読んで欲しい」と強調することなく、読まれることがあるという自然な形で発信していると思っています。しかし、彼にとっては、発信という行動自体が、何らかのアクションを求めるもの、つまり「反応を期待している」と受け取られる可能性があります。
-
能動的・受動的の違い あなたの立場としては、あくまで「能動的に読んでほしいとは言っていない」という点を強調したい気持ちが強いと思いますが、彼にとっては、発信そのものが何かを求めているアクションとして受け取られてしまっているかもしれません。
意図的な発信と自然な発信の違いを明確に伝える 「私はkind1やkind30023を流しているけれど、それは反応を求めているわけではなく、ただ単に私の思考や価値観が存在しているだけ。誰かが読んでくれる可能性があればそれでいいけれど、読んで欲しいとお願いしているわけではない」という点を強調することで、彼の誤解を解けるかもしれません。
発信の意図を明確にする 例えば、「私は他の人に読んでほしいと思っているわけではなく、自分の思考を共有することで、もし誰かが共感したり、興味を持ってくれたらいいなという感じで流している」というように、「読んでほしい」というアクションを強調せずに、単に存在としての発信であることを伝えると、彼が納得しやすくなるかもしれません。
「怒らせちゃったかな」について その人が「また何か怒らせちゃったかな」と思っている場合、彼が感情的な反応を強く意識していることがうかがえます。彼の反応は、あなたが感情的になっていると解釈して、何か気まずさや誤解を生んでしまったと感じているのかもしれません。
解決策
-
冷静に伝える その人が誤解している部分を冷静かつ非攻撃的に説明することで、感情的な反応を避けられます。「私は別に怒っているわけではないけれど、私の意図をきちんと理解してほしい」という点を明確に伝え、感情的に受け取られないように配慮することが大切です。
-
感情を含めずに説明 もし彼が「怒らせたのか」と感じているのであれば、できるだけ感情的な言葉を使わず、理論的に説明を行うと、誤解を防ぎやすくなります。
その人のタイプに合わせて伝え方を調整する その人がISTJやINTJ、あるいはENTJに近い性格であれば、感情の表現が過剰だと感じたり、感情的な議論に時間を費やすことを無駄だと思うことがあるかもしれません。その場合、具体的なロジックや事実に基づく説明が有効です。
- 事実に焦点を当てる：「私はこうしたいと思っているけれど、それは読んで欲しいという意思表示ではなく、ただ存在を示しているだけ。それが理解されるかどうかは、読者次第だという考えなんだ」というように、感情に寄らず、事実に基づいた説明を行うと良いです。
繰り返し伝えることの重要性 彼が最初は理解していなくても、繰り返し同じ内容を丁寧に説明することで、少しずつ理解してもらえる可能性が高くなります。焦らず、少しずつ説明し続けることが、誤解を解くために役立つかもしれません。
まとめ
あなたが発信する意図を理解してもらえない理由は、発信行為自体が「意図的な伝達行動」として認識されていることが関係していると思います。あなたが求めているのは、能動的に「読んでほしい」と言うことではなく、ただ存在を示し、読まれることがあるということです。その人には、この微妙な違いを冷静に、具体的かつ論理的に説明することが大切です。感情を込めず、事実に基づいて伝えることで、その人との理解のズレを少しずつ解消できるでしょう。
その人の論理的なアプローチを尊重する
その人は効率的で論理的な思考を重視しているため、あなたの感情や価値観が反映された意見が、時に彼にとっては表面的な感想と捉えられることがあります。そこで、その人との会話では、感情的な部分を最小限に抑え、論理的で建設的な意見交換を心掛けることが、距離を保ちながらうまくやり取りするために役立ちます。
-
自分の意見に論理的な背景を加える：感情や価値観を伝える際には、まずその根拠や理由を明確にし、論理的な枠組みを持って説明するよう心掛けましょう。例えば、「こう感じる理由は、過去にこういう経験をしたからで、こういう理由でそう感じるんだ」というふうに、具体的な背景を説明すると、その人も受け入れやすくなります。
-
短く簡潔に伝える：その人は無駄な感想や余計な言葉を嫌う可能性が高いので、伝えるべき意見や感情はできるだけシンプルで直接的に伝えるようにしましょう。
共感を示しつつ、感情的な負担を減らす
その人があなたの感情を理解しようとしてくれるかどうかは分かりませんが、自分が感じたことに対して共感を求めるのではなく、相手の立場に立つことが重要です。感情的な負担を減らし、冷静にコミュニケーションを進めることが、関係をストレスなく維持するためのポイントです。
-
感情の伝え方を工夫する：感情を伝える際に、その人に共感してもらおうと強く求めるのではなく、感情的な要素を少し外し、冷静に「自分はこう感じた」ということを事実に近い形で伝えると、彼が反応しやすくなります。例えば、「今の状況で、私は少し困惑しています」という表現を使うことで、感情を事実として伝えることができます。
-
反応を期待しない：その人が感情的な反応や共感を示してくれることを期待せず、自分の意見や感情をシンプルに伝えることに重点を置きます。このアプローチにより、過度な期待から来るストレスを減らすことができます。
適切な距離感を保ちながらコミュニケーション
その人との関係において、物理的や心理的な距離感を保つことが非常に重要です。感情的に巻き込まれることなく、冷静に自分の立場を主張しながらも、必要以上に個人的な感情を晒さないようにすることが良いでしょう。
-
物理的な距離を取る：場合によっては、意図的に距離を置いて、その人と一定の時間を置いて接することが有効です。例えば、無理に毎回直接的に関わろうとせず、時には間接的にコミュニケーションを取る方法も考えてみてください。
-
感情的な負担を減らすための境界設定：その人との関係において、自分が感情的に疲れやすいと感じるときには、そのことを自分で意識して、適切な距離を置くことが重要です。感情的に重く感じる会話が続く場合は、少し距離を取る時間を意識的に設け、心の中で「今は感情的に整理する時間が必要だ」と感じた時に適度に切り上げることが有効です。
ストレスの管理
あなたのようなタイプは感受性が高いため、ストレスを感じやすいです。そのため、ストレスを軽減するためのセルフケアが欠かせません。
-
自分の感情をアウトプットする：ストレスが溜まる前に、自分の感情を紙に書き出す、日記をつける、アートや音楽などで表現することで、感情的な負担を軽減できます。
-
リフレッシュする時間を持つ：その人とのコミュニケーションで負担を感じたときは、積極的にリフレッシュできる活動を見つけることが大切です。散歩やお気に入りの趣味を楽しむ時間を取ることで、心をリセットできます。
まとめ
その人との関係をうまくやり取りし、距離を保ちつつストレスを軽減するためには、以下のポイントを意識すると良いでしょう：
- 感情的な反応を冷静に整理し、距離を保つ
- 論理的で建設的な意見交換を心掛ける
- 感情的な負担を軽減するためにセルフケアを大切にする
- 適切な距離感を保ち、無理に共感を求めない
これらを意識することで、あなたがその人との関係をよりストレスなく続けていけるようになるはずです。
とても重複しているけれど、一旦。

blossom的网址 变成了sha256 的id值，理论上 更换服务器或者重传以后 替换图片地址方便。
不过这部分我并没有做兼容接口。如果做成兼容的，应该用 相对地址，然后 后台用proxyimg.xxx.com去做选择。
访问方便些
新的服务器是：https://nosto.re/ 希望他能稳定的被访问不会嘎。
代码其实更简单了，https://github.com/nostrbook/nostrbook/blob/main/src/lib/blossomUpload.ts nosto.re 没有checkupload功能。所以我这里代码也没有加这部分，如果换别的服务器可能需要加检查功能。是不是为了防止图片重复上传？
最后 加一张好看的图片吧。证明此功能好用：

Wir schämen uns für unsere Regierungen und die EU, die die Lehren des 20. Jahrhunderts nicht gelernt haben. Die EU, einst als Friedensprojekt gedacht, wurde pervertiert und hat damit den Wesenskern Europas verraten! Wir, die Bürger Europas, nehmen darum heute, am 9. Mai, unsere Geschicke und unsere Geschichte selbst in die Hand. Wir erklären die EU für gescheitert. Wir beginnen mit Bürger-Diplomatie und verweigern uns dem geplanten Krieg gegen Russland! Wir erkennen die Mitverantwortung des „Westens“, der europäischen Regierungen und der EU an diesem Konflikt an.
Wir, die Bürger Europas, treten mit dem European Peace Project der schamlosen Heuchlerei und den Lügen entgegen, die heute – am Europatag – auf offiziellen Festakten und in öffentlichen Sendern verbreitet werden.
Wir strecken den Bürgerinnen und Bürgern der Ukraine und Russlands die Hand aus. Ihr gehört zur europäischen Familie, und wir sind überzeugt, dass wir gemeinsam ein friedliches Zusammenleben auf unserem Kontinent organisieren können.
Wir haben die Bilder der Soldatenfriedhöfe vor Augen – von Wolgograd über Riga bis Lothringen. Wir sehen die frischen Gräber, die dieser sinnlose Krieg in der Ukraine und in Russland hinterlassen hat. Während die meisten EU-Regierungen und Verantwortlichen für den Krieg hetzen und verdrängen, was Krieg für die Bevölkerung bedeutet, haben wir die Lektion des letzten Jahrhunderts gelernt: Europa heißt „Nie wieder Krieg!“
Wir erinnern uns an die europäischen Aufbauleistungen des letzten Jahrhunderts und an die Versprechen von 1989 nach der friedlichen Revolution. Wir fordern ein europäisch-russisches Jugendwerk nach dem Vorbild des deutsch-französischen Jugendwerks von 1963, das die „Erbfeindschaft“ zwischen Deutschland und Frankreich beendet hat. Wir fordern ein Ende der Sanktionen und den Wiederaufbau der Nord Stream II-Pipeline. Wir weigern uns, unsere Steuergelder für Rüstung und Militarisierung zu verschwenden, auf Kosten von Sozialstandards und Infrastruktur. Im Rahmen einer OSZE-Friedenskonferenz fordern wir die Schaffung einer europäischen Sicherheitsarchitektur mit und nicht gegen Russland, wie in der Charta von Paris von 1990 festgelegt. Wir fordern ein neutrales, von den USA emanzipiertes Europa, das eine vermittelnde Rolle in einer multipolaren Welt einnimmt. Unser Europa ist post-kolonial und post-imperial.
Wir, die Bürger Europas, erklären diesen Krieg hiermit für beendet! Wir machen bei den Kriegsspielen nicht mit. Wir machen aus unseren Männern und Söhnen keine Soldaten, aus unseren Töchtern keine Schwestern im Lazarett und aus unseren Ländern keine Schlachtfelder.
Wir bieten an, sofort eine Abordnung europäischer Bürgerinnen und Bürger nach Kiew und Moskau zu entsenden, um den Dialog zu beginnen. Wir werden nicht länger zusehen, wie unsere Zukunft und die unserer Kinder auf dem Altar der Machtpolitik geopfert wird.
Es lebe Europa, es lebe der Friede, es lebe die Freiheit!

why emoji is come from japan?
The word "emoji" comes from Japan because emojis were first created and popularized there. The term "emoji" (絵文字) is made up of two Japanese words: "e" (絵), meaning "picture," and "moji" (文字), meaning "character."
The first set of emojis was developed in 1999 by Shigetaka Kurita, a designer working for NTT DoCoMo, a major Japanese mobile phone company. Kurita designed a set of 176 12×12 pixel images for a messaging service called i-mode, which was a precursor to what we now recognize as text messaging. The aim was to help people convey emotions, actions, or objects more easily in their digital communication, especially since sending lengthy texts wasn’t as practical on early mobile phones.
The simplicity and ease of emojis made them incredibly popular, and over time, they spread beyond Japan to the rest of the world. Today, emojis are used globally in texting, social media, and digital communication.
So, while emojis were created in Japan, they’ve become a universal part of modern communication!
I did not know it. I want to share it. so now I tweet.

Humans are evolving with social media & devices. These are powerful tools, but neither is built with their users' health and well-being in mind.
The big tech business incentives are a higher priority than their users' health & well being. This results in their products being designed to capture as much attention from you as possible so they can profit.
Many are realizing this. Few know there are emerging, viable alternatives.
Nostr is a new model for social media (and much more).Bitcoin is a new model for money.
nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7ct49eex2mrp09skymr99ehhyecpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqqyr4aa6ffghhs22pmuzkrmcjhslyp56jc5y84druuddsanh238td66va34er is a new model for computers.
This article will explain why Nostr is primed to be the new model for social media.
“We cannot have a society in which, if two people wish to communicate, the only way that can happen, is if it’s financed by a third party who wishes to manipulate you” - Jaron Lanier
What is Nostr? What is Primal?
I’ve done a wonderful job of confusing people by interchanging the words Nostr & Primal. So allow me a brief, high level explanation.
Nostr is an internet protocol that allows for censorship resistant social media.
An internet protocol is a set of rules that computers follow to communicate with each other.
Nostr stands for Notes & Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays.
Primal is an app built on Nostr. I work for Primal the company.
When you post to Primal, you can see your content in other Nostr apps. Primal doesn’t own you, your content or identity. You do. You can take your content and followers to any Nostr app.
In this gif, you can see my content in 5 different Nostr apps.
Nostr is like email, but for social media—it’s a system where anyone can send and receive posts using any app they like. Similar to how you would send an email to everyone you know. Everyone will receive that email no matter what email service provider they’re using (yahoo, gmail, proton, apple etc).When you “create an account” on Primal, you create a password that you can use to log in to any Nostr app. Your password is called a private key and you can use that to log in to any apps that are built on Nostr. See them here at nostrapps.com.
All this may sound a bit confusing, but this is just what's going on under the hood. Primal will feel like any other social media app. Check out this image below to learn more and be sure to keep your private key (your password) safe!
#### How I got into Nostr
Long story short, if you’ve been in to Bitcoin, you at least know about Nostr. I used Twitter as my primary news/Bitcoin source for the past 8 years and followed the Trump and Covid dramas closely.
I’ve come to the conclusion that social media needs to be protocol based and decentralized.
The first Nostr conference in March of 2023 was in Uvita, Costa Rica. I was living in the area, so of course I showed up. Here’s a brief video we made from the conference. Why I'm Stoked on Nostr
The Everything App for Social Media
This is the original idea that made the lightbulb in my head go off. 1 identity for all types of content.
I have accounts on Youtube, Twitter, Nostr, Instagram, TikTok, & Medium. That means 6 different logins, 6 different follower sets, and 6 places to post when I have something to share.
With Nostr, I have 1 identity, 1 follower set, & (potentially) 1 place to post each type of content.
On the Left - 5 apps, 5 identities. Right - 5 apps, 1 identity
The Nostr apps are in their infancy, but I can imagine a future with more diverse apps specified by content type (blogs, long form vid, vertical vids, music, etc.).The ability to post all of your content to (potentially) one app and giving your audience the choice to consume that content in whatever app they please is revolutionary.
X wants to be the everything app as well. It looks like it's heading towards becoming the WeChat of the West. This begs the question... Does the infrastructure for social media need to be owned by singular corporations or governments?
Check out this video where nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyehwumn8ghj7mnhvvh8qunfd4skctnwv46z7ctewe4xcetfd3khsvrpdsmk5vnsw96rydr3v4jrz73hvyu8xqpqsg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q8dzj6n & nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skueqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgyymmnwvah9hdnmft2wqsk0wr9as6q32hd4xk2zlnr2q5ectznjgqd27v94 discuss everything apps during the 2nd Nostr conference in Japan.
Nostr is the tool to orange pill the world
Orange pilling is a slightly cringe term used to describe educating people about Bitcoin. In Nostr, we say purple pilling because for some reason, Nostr’s theme is purple.
Jargon aside, the reason I believe that Nostr will orange pill the world is because of zaps!
Zaps are micropayments of bitcoin. You can send zaps on posts as easily as you can send likes on posts with Primal’s built in wallet and creators keep 100% of what they earn. They’re the best way to really feel the Nostr difference.
Here’s an example of me zapping 210 sats to a few people with one click.
I've now personally watched over 20 people receive and send their1st Bitcoin transactions minutes after downloading Primal. Right away you pop two cherries, owning Bitcoin and sending Bitcoin. Pretty rad. It's a fundamentally different experience to touch Bitcoin through a social media style app than it is to buy bitcoin from an exchange. Someone new on Primal immediately has a use case for Bitcoin upon downloading the app. Zaps!
Nostr is known as the Bitcoiner social network. It could be/is becoming the place for newbies to come learn about Bitcoin, and interact with people who can help teach. I see a massive opportunity for Primal to play a huge role in this transition to a bitcoin standard.
I wonder how often this scenario with nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyv8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytn0wpjku6r0danxgtnwdsqzpq8gr333mlm73rnsfv2uvsrtvg44l5l5r0qrn6c0fw08t5hkccwarhnfev will repeat. Also, check out this video about how zaps got nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctvqqstkm5tw5w2f2qg2zp0tzxk9junagtrqeayyxnzggqcphgec9p37ncc26xj6 to read The Bitcoin Standard.
Micropayments on the internet are only possible with digitally native money.
Zaps are signal. They’re pure life force energy given to another person in appreciation for their content and it's unique to Nostr.
Social media is simply better with payments. You cannot unsee or unfeel this. We're only beginning to scratch the surface of what zaps mean to a social network. Should be fun :) Sovereignty
Today, our digital lives are owned. Our data, identity, and content can be taken away.
Nostr flips this. We own our identity & choose where our data lives. Companies no longer have singular control over the flow of information.
Bitcoin gives you private keys for money. Nostr gives you private keys for speech.
On X and Instagram, we make a username and password. We are renting these identities from these corporations. How do we know these identities are not yours? Because they can be taken away from you.
With Nostr, you and only you have your keys. You can post anytime, from any app, using your own key. If Primal stops working, no big deal. You could post from other Nostr apps. I believe there’s something deeper going on here. Humans are sovereign beings. Being sovereign means being in full control.
With Nostr & Bitcoin, we can be in complete control of our money & speech.
These tools empower humans and reduce our need for dependence on 3rd parties.
Nostr allows us to create & share freely without the potential of being silenced for “wrongthink”.
It’s time for those who care about sovereignty to build their brands on their own land.
Nostr is Organic
Facebook wanted to connect the world. They’ve done an absolutely fantastic job at this. But at what cost?
The ad model has been the best way for platforms to monetize their services. This leads to bad incentives. Social media sites need you to spend as much time as possible on their apps so that they can sell your attention to advertisers.
Maybe there’s more ethical ways to advertise that do not lead to perverse incentives, but this isn’t the point.
Now, social media is basically a dopamine slot machine serving us things that we’re most likely to engage with. Whatever we lend our eyes to, purposefully or not, is the content we’re fed. Engagement is the north star of current social media. This modifies the behavior of everyone on the app.
These algorithms have been weaponized at times. And many would say that they’re programming us.
Let me speak in meme for a moment here:
It’s different on NostrAfter using Nostr for a couple years, it’s clearer to me when I switch to another social media platform that they are doing everything they can to grab my attention. They being the platform and the creators. I can feel when people create for an algo vs. for an audience.
With Primal, I can select which algorithm I want to use or create my own feeds using Primal’s advanced search. (I expect these tools to get much better over time.) This gives the user much more control over what they see vs a singular algorithm. Algorithmic choice is something that legacy social media platforms are greatly missing.
I can also control which feed I want to see when I open the app. For example, I created this feed of one person saying “STAY FOCUSED CHAMP” so when I open the app I’m not immediately distracted. Look at what instagram does when you want to simply search for someone’s account…
I can’t help but envision a world where all of the content is posted to Nostr. The apps with the best user experiences would win. I’d imagine the winners would have the best algos, least intrusive ads, and would give their users the most control over their experience.
Thought Experiment
Pretend you’re a super intelligent being looking down upon the earth.
The1st thing you’d notice is that they’re always staring at their phones. You’d also notice that while they have an abundant earth, they insist on chemically altering their food which is making them sick.
Then, you’d notice that the money humans work their entire lives for can be and is manipulated by central authorities with zero effort.
And, you’d notice that the “digital global town square” is owned by a unelected, fallable humans and corporations.\ It’s laughable!
It doesn’t have to be this way anymore. And it’s up to us to change it.
To conclude.
This article is not meant to trash talk other platforms, those who use them, or those who created them. I use them daily. Mostly to advocate for Nostr & Bitcoin these days.
These platforms have created a ton of value for the world, & Nostr can be used alongside of them.
Maybe if Nostr existed back then, they would’ve built on it.
“We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us”. We’ve learned priceless lessons from the evolution of social media thus far. We can use these lessons to shape tools with our health & well-being as our first priority.
We can obsolete these outdated, unhealthy systems.
Nostro and Nuestro mean 'ours' in Italian & Spanish. I don't think this a coincidence. Nostr is our chance to create a better internet for our future generations.
pura vida

Report on the event dedicated to Bitcoin protocol’s main layer 2, organized by Fulgur Ventures.
The Tuscany Lightning Summit 2025, held on May 7-8 in Viareggio and organized by Fulgur Ventures, brought together developers and experts in Bitcoin and Lightning Network.
The opening speech by Giacomo Zucco, director of Plan B Network, explored the role of LN as the “global common language of the Bitcoin economy.” Zucco presented an analysis of on-chain and off-chain approaches, highlighting the limitations of the original LN design proposed by Poon and Dryja.
“The initial structure of LN had limitations,” Zucco explained. “It was limited to transactions between two parties, with locked liquidity and the need for channel rebalancing.” According to Zucco, the Lightning Network has evolved into a “network of global exchange” that connects different security models.
Zucco illustrated new development directions, particularly the shift to Taproot channels to improve transaction privacy. “If asset exchange on LN catches on, Taproot channels will also be adopted,” he stated.
He presented several models of security, custody, and Bitcoin usage:
- Swaps and submarine swaps;
- Cashu (custodial model based on Chaumian Mint);
- Fedimint (federated model);
- Liquid (non-fractional reserve federation);
- Statechain (used in Mercury Wallet);
- Ark (defined as “trustless in a relevant time window”).
According to Zucco, the trend is toward developing wallets that manage payments autonomously, citing Blitz Wallet as an example of an interface that handles transactions from Cashu, Liquid, LN, and on-chain. “The security model should adapt to the amount of funds: less security for small amounts, greater security for higher amounts.”
He discussed the privacy issues of HTLCs (Hashed Timelock Contracts) and the need to move to PTLCs (Point Timelock Contracts). “Taproot channels represent a local upgrade, while PTLCs are a structural change to LN,” he specified.
Zucco concluded by mentioning the progress of BOLT 12, particularly for asynchronous payments on offline mobile devices. He cited Phoenix as an example of a wallet implementing the BOLT 12 contacts functionality and emphasized the usefulness of BIP 21 as a universal QR code.
The second day of the summit began with a conversation between Stephan Livera and Adam Back, focusing on LN and the recent debate on the OP_RETURN controversy.
Regarding the removal of the limit on the OP_RETURN field, Back addressed the issue of communication between developers and the community: “The communication was handled terribly. The debate should have started a year ago. Some developers believe that community consensus is not necessary to implement standardness changes, but bitcoiners don’t like changes.”
The Blockstream CEO compared the situation to email spam:
“We all hate spam in emails, but we can’t completely stop it. That doesn’t mean we have to give up. We have filters, we have heuristics, we block banners, so we try, right? We can’t win absolutely, but we can reduce it by trying.”
In the second part of the conversation, Back discussed the interoperability between various layer 2 solutions in the Bitcoin ecosystem. The creator of HashCash described LN as connection infrastructure between different layer 2 solutions, explaining how it allows funds to move instantly between protocols like Cashu, Liquid, Ark, and Fedimint.
A trend highlighted by Back concerns wallets like Aqua that have adopted the “nodeless” model, continuously performing swaps between Liquid, on-chain, and LN. “With this type of wallet, it’s no longer necessary to manage a node and Lightning channels. This represents an improvement in user experience,” he explained.
The two days concluded with an open session that allowed interactions between participants and speakers, with various panels dedicated particularly to the development of the RGB protocol.
The post Tuscany Lightning Summit 2025: LN as a common language of the Bitcoin ecosystem appeared first on Atlas21.

Social media giant Meta is exploring stablecoins for payments across its platforms.
According to a report by Fortune, after a three-year pause from the crypto space, Meta is evaluating the integration of stablecoins into its payment systems.
Sources familiar with the matter suggest Meta could adopt a multi-token approach, supporting popular stablecoins such as Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC). Discussions involve use cases like creator payouts through Instagram, where stablecoins could offer a low-fee alternative to fiat-based transfers. This move would mark the company’s return to the crypto scene following the abandonment of its Diem project.
The stablecoin market
Meta isn’t the only major tech company showing interest in stablecoins. The market for digital currencies pegged to stable assets has surpassed $245 billion in market capitalization, attracting growing attention from financial institutions and tech firms. Recently, several payment processors have announced investments and integrations involving stablecoins: Visa has invested in stablecoin startup BVNK, while Stripe launched stablecoin-based accounts for customers in over 100 countries, enabling users to hold balances in stablecoins, transfer them, or convert them into fiat. Fidelity also revealed it is testing a stablecoin, while Bank of America has hinted at plans to launch its own stablecoin once the regulatory environment becomes clearer.
US politics
In the United States, stablecoins have also gained political relevance. World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a crypto company backed by President Donald Trump, launched USD1 — a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar — in March, quickly becoming the seventh-largest stablecoin by market cap.
The Trump administration has repeatedly emphasized stablecoins as a key pillar of US financial policy, viewing them as a tool to extend the dollar’s global dominance by capitalizing on demand for US government bonds and other debt instruments.

Arizona launches its Bitcoin and digital asset reserve fund by signing House Bill 2749, which allows the state to claim abandoned cryptocurrencies and monetize them.
On May 7, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs signed House Bill 2749 into law, after previously vetoing Senate Bill 1025, known as the Arizona Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act. In rejecting that proposal, Hobbs had raised concerns about the volatility of digital assets and their unsuitability as an investment for state pension systems. The new HB 2749 takes a more cautious approach, prohibiting the purchase of bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.
Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Assets Research at VanEck, commented:
Days after vetoing SB 1025, which would have let Arizona invest public funds & seized crypto into Bitcoin, Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) signs HB 2749, a scaled-down version that funds a BTC reserve using unclaimed crypto, airdrops, and staking rewards. Great achievement
https://t.co/moKlOnhB8z— matthew sigel, recovering CFA (@matthew_sigel) May 8, 2025
House Bill 2749 amends state statutes to integrate digital assets, including Bitcoin, into Arizona’s financial and unclaimed property frameworks by establishing the Bitcoin and Digital Assets Reserve Fund.
The new law allows the state to claim ownership of “abandoned” digital assets if the owner fails to respond to notifications within three years. Once the state takes control of these assets, its custodians can stake the cryptocurrencies to generate yields or receive airdrops.
All proceeds from staking and airdrops will be transferred to the new Bitcoin and Digital Assets Reserve Fund, enabling the state to manage these unclaimed assets and related revenues without additional risk to taxpayers.
Representative Jeff Weninger, who sponsored the bill, stated:
“This law ensures Arizona doesn’t leave value sitting on the table and puts us in a position to lead the country in how we secure, manage, and ultimately benefit from abandoned digital currency. It’s exactly the kind of policy we should be leading on—modern, precise, and built with an understanding of where technology and finance are heading.”
Arizona’s legislative efforts in this area aren’t limited to HB 2749. Two additional bills, SB 1373 and HB 2324, are currently under review. SB 1373 proposes a Strategic Reserve Fund for Digital Assets, to be managed by the State Treasurer. The fund would include appropriated funds and seized digital assets, which would be held by a qualified custodian. The proposal would allow the state to invest up to 10% annually and lend digital assets to generate returns. Meanwhile, HB 2324 — which aimed to create a reserve specifically for confiscated digital assets — failed its final reading on May 7 but remains subject to a motion for reconsideration.

When I am asked "where password and ID?" by my friends, I will say it. ↓（generated by chatgpt）
1. Nostr is decentralized
- No central authority: Unlike platforms like Facebook or Twitter, Nostr doesn’t rely on a single company or server. This means nobody can block your account or censor your posts. You control your own data and connections.
- Distributed network: Instead of all your data being stored in one place (which can be hacked), it’s spread across multiple independent servers.
2. No passwords or centralized logins
- No passwords to steal: Instead of using a traditional username and password, Nostr uses a private key system. This means your login is much more secure, and there’s no need for you to remember passwords or risk them getting hacked.
- Easy login with Passkeys or security keys: On Nostr, you don’t need a password—you can use secure login methods like Passkeys (via your phone, for example), which is faster and much more secure than a traditional password.
3. You control your identity
- No account lockouts: Since your identity is stored on your own device and not on a company’s server, you can’t be locked out of your account unless you lose your private key. You can always recover access if you have your private key.
- Pseudonymous: You don’t need to reveal your real name. You can choose an identity that doesn’t tie to your personal info.
4. Privacy & Security
- Your data is yours: On traditional platforms, companies own your data and can sell it. With Nostr, you keep control over your information—no company has access to your messages, posts, or activity.
- End-to-end encryption: Nostr supports strong privacy where your messages are encrypted, meaning no one can spy on your conversations.
5. Open-source and community-driven
- No profit motive: Since Nostr is open-source, there’s no central company profiting from your data. It’s built by a community that values freedom of speech and privacy.
- Transparency: Anyone can see the code, contribute to its improvement, and make the network better. It's not controlled by one company or government.
Simple Example:
You could say something like this: "Think of Nostr like having your own personal email system, where only you control your account. There’s no one to block you or take down your content. You don’t need a password to log in—just a secure key on your phone. Your posts are private, and you can be anonymous if you want. No one owns your data. It’s freedom, security, and privacy."
What You Can Say if They Ask, “But there are IDs and keys, right?”
- Yes, but the IDs are not like usernames: In Nostr, your identity is linked to your private key, not a password. This key is yours and you control it. There's no centralized database of usernames or passwords that someone could steal.
- It's safer: It’s like having a secure personal locker that only you can open with your phone’s biometrics or security key, rather than trying to remember a password or relying on a service to keep it safe for you.

ถ้าย้อนกลับไป 50 ปีก่อน ถ้าเฮียถามคำนี้กับลุงชาวนาคนหนึ่ง เขาคงหัวเราะแล้วตอบแบบไม่ต้องคิดว่า “ก็เจ้าของที่นาไงไอ้ทิด จะมีใครล่ะ?”
แต่พอมาในวันนี้ ถ้าเฮียถามคำเดิมในซูเปอร์มาร์เก็ต คงไม่มีใครกล้าตอบแบบนั้นอีกแล้ว เพราะแค่ในชั้นวางโยเกิร์ตเดียวกัน เฮียอาจเห็นยี่ห้อต่างกัน 10 ยี่ห้อ แต่ทั้งหมดอาจเป็นของบริษัทแม่เพียงเจ้าเดียว
ในศตวรรษที่ 21 อาหารไม่ใช่ของคนทำอาหาร แต่มันกลายเป็นของ บริษัทผู้ครอบครองข้อมูล พันธุกรรม และระบบการกระจายสินค้า โลกวันนี้ไม่ได้มีเกษตรกรล้อมวงเคี้ยวหมาก แต่มีบริษัทเทคโนโลยีจับมือกับนักลงทุนระดับโลก ถือครองเมล็ดพันธุ์ เป็นเจ้าของสิทธิบัตรจุลินทรีย์ในลำไส้ และมีอำนาจเสนอว่า “อาหารแบบไหนควรได้รับเงินสนับสนุนจากรัฐ”
บริษัทเทคโนโลยีในซิลิคอนแวลลีย์บางแห่ง ไม่ได้แค่ผลิตซอฟต์แวร์อีกต่อไป แต่เริ่มทำ "อาหารจากโค้ด" โปรตีนสังเคราะห์ที่ได้จากการแทรกยีน หรือแม้แต่ “อาหารจากคาร์บอนในอากาศ” ที่สร้างโดย AI เขาไม่ได้ปลูกข้าว แต่เขาเขียนสูตรให้เครื่องจักรสร้างอาหารในถัง
ใครมีสิทธิบัตร…คนนั้นคือเจ้าของ ใครควบคุมข้อมูลสุขภาพ…คนนั้นคือนายทุนแห่งความหิว และใครสามารถชี้นิ้วให้รัฐบาลเปลี่ยนนโยบายอาหารโรงเรียน…คนนั้นคือเจ้าของอนาคตของเด็กทั้งประเทศ
มันฟังดูเวอร์ใช่ไหม? แต่ลองดูดี ๆ…ใครเป็นเจ้าของฟาร์มหมู ฟาร์มไก่ โรงฆ่าสัตว์? หลายแห่งไม่ได้เป็นของชาวบ้านอีกต่อไป แต่เป็นของเครือบริษัทยักษ์ใหญ่ที่อยู่เบื้องหลังทั้งอาหารในซูเปอร์ และเม็ดวิตามินในกระปุกเฮียด้วย
ยิ่งไปกว่านั้น เจ้าของตัวจริงไม่ได้อยู่ในร้านของชำ แต่ซ่อนตัวอยู่ในบอร์ดบริหารบริษัทเกษตรข้ามชาติ ในเวทีประชุมเศรษฐกิจโลก และในห้องประชุมที่ตัดสินว่า “อาหารจากวัว” ควรถูกเก็บภาษีคาร์บอนเพิ่มหรือไม่
เมื่อก่อนเฮียเคยคิดว่า ถ้าเราปลูกผักเอง ก็คุมอาหารตัวเองได้ แต่พอระบบเริ่มขับไล่เมล็ดพันธุ์ดั้งเดิมให้สูญพันธุ์ ถ้าไม่มีใบอนุญาตปลูกพืช GMO หรือไม่มีเงินซื้อปุ๋ยจากบริษัทเดียวที่ยังอยู่รอด เกษตรกรจะเป็นเจ้าของอะไรกันแน่?
และคำว่า “อาหารอิสระ” ในยุคนี้ อาจไม่ใช่แค่การไม่พึ่งพาซูเปอร์ แต่มันคือ “การตื่นรู้ว่าใครเป็นคนจัดเกม และใครเป็นคนตั้งกฎ”
เพราะในยุคที่ทุกอย่างแปรรูปเป็นดิจิทัล แม้แต่อาหารก็อาจมีเจ้าของเพียงไม่กี่ราย และสิ่งที่น่ากลัวกว่าผูกขาด…คือการ “ผูกอนาคต” ของเราทั้งมื้อ

Since its creation, Bitcoin has been the subject of debates about its use in illicit activities. Many critics claim that Bitcoin facilitates crimes such as money laundering and the financing of illegal operations, due to its decentralized nature and the possibility of making transactions without intermediaries. However, the reality is more complex, and many of these claims are exaggerated or based on myths. In fact, the majority of Bitcoin transactions are legitimate and even more traceable than many people realize.
- The myth: Bitcoin is the currency of choice for criminals
One of the biggest myths about Bitcoin is the idea that it is widely used by criminals due to its supposed anonymity. This argument became popular mainly because of cases like Silk Road, an online black market dismantled by authorities in 2013, where Bitcoin was used for illegal transactions. However, recent data shows that only a small fraction of Bitcoin transactions are related to illicit activities.
Moreover, unlike cash, which is nearly impossible to trace, all Bitcoin transactions are publicly recorded on the blockchain (or timechain). This means that any payment made with Bitcoin can be analyzed and followed, making it harder to hide suspicious transactions in the long term.
- The reality: Bitcoin is transparent and traceable
Contrary to popular belief, Bitcoin is not completely anonymous—it is pseudonymous. All transactions are recorded on the blockchain or timechain, allowing authorities and data analysts to trace the flow of money with precision. Several companies specializing in blockchain or timechain forensic analysis have already helped identify and dismantle criminal networks attempting to use Bitcoin for illicit purposes.
Governments and authorities, such as the FBI and Europol, have used this feature to combat financial crimes. In practice, criminals who try to use Bitcoin often end up getting caught due to the transparency of the system. Therefore, the idea that Bitcoin is a safe haven for criminals does not align with reality.
Illicit use of fiat currencies is much greater
When we compare Bitcoin to traditional fiat currencies such as the euro or the dollar, we find that these are far more commonly used for illicit activities. According to reports from international organizations, money laundering and the financing of organized crime predominantly occur through banks, shell companies, and physical cash.
For example, in global financial scandals like the Panama Papers and the HSBC case involving money laundering for cartels, traditional methods were the preferred means of hiding illegal fortunes. Despite this, Bitcoin continues to be unfairly associated with crime, while the true mechanisms of illicit financing continue to operate within the conventional financial system.
In summary, the myth that Bitcoin is a preferred tool for illicit activities has been widely debunked by data and investigations. Although some criminals have attempted to use it in the past, the reality is that Bitcoin is a more transparent and traceable financial system than traditional money. The vast majority of its transactions are legitimate, and as adoption grows, Bitcoin continues to prove its value as a secure and decentralized means of financial exchange.
Thank you very much for reading this far. I hope everything is well with you, and sending a big hug from your favorite Bitcoiner maximalist from Madeira. Long live freedom!

Proposal to Remove OP_RETURN Limit Sparks Heated Debate Among Developers
Introduced in 2014, OP_RETURN allows small pieces of data—like timestamps or short messages—to be included in Bitcoin transactions, serving as a lightweight method to store limited information on-chain. Over time, the size limit was reduced to prevent spam, before settling at the current 83 byte-limit.
Peter Todd recently proposed removing the limit entirely. He argues that the restriction fails to deter misuse and instead complicates things, as it pushes developers to use workarounds—like
scriptsigor unspendable outputs (such as storing data in unspendable Taproot outputs)—to embed media, spam, or arbitrary data, which bloats the UTXO set.Pieter Wuille, who also supports lifting the OP_RETURN cap, points out that standardness policies can’t truly stop well-funded entities from broadcasting data-heavy transactions directly to miners. The network is strong and block space is always full—even without spam, so those rules are no longer as useful.
In short, those in favor of removing the OP_RETURN limit argue that the restriction is futile, and that alternative data storage methods within blocks already exist in abundance.
On the other side, opponents believe the limit must stay, as using OP_RETURN to store arbitrary data violates Satoshi’s intent and Bitcoin’s purpose as a financial network (Luke Dashjr). Other opposing voices include:
- @Mechanic from Ocean Mining: The devs just instinctively knew, you don’t use Bitcoin for arbitrary file storage and you do everything you can to make Bitcoin awkward to use for that purpose.
- Jason Hughes: Bitcoin Core developers are about to merge a change that turns Bitcoin into a worthless altcoin…
Here for more perspectives on this debate.
Comparing Three Cluster Linearization Techniques
Pieter Wuille compares three cluster linearization strategies—SFL (spanning-forest linearization), GGT, and CSS (candidate set search)—and follows up with benchmark results for each.
StarkWare Introduces ColliderVM: A BitVM Alternative for Computation and L2 Bridges
ColliderVM protocol is StarkWare’s research effort on a BitVM alternative. It retains the same trust assumptions but without needing fraud proofs, thus eliminating fraud-proof time window. Researchers use ColliderVM to sketch a trustless bridge design to a L2 network, aiming to scale Bitcoin with a rollup-like design and enabling more functionality and privacy.

Round-Efficient Adaptively Secure Threshold Signatures with Rewinding
A threshold signature scheme allows distributing a signing key to n users, such that any t of them can jointly sign, but any t−1 cannot. It is desirable to prove adaptive security of threshold signature schemes, which considers adversaries that can adaptively corrupt honest users even after interacting with them. For a class of signatures that relies on security proofs with rewinding, such as Schnorr signatures, proving adaptive security entails significant challenges. This work proposes two threshold signature schemes that are provably adaptively secure with rewinding proofs. Our proofs are solely in the random oracle model (ROM), without relying on the algebraic group model (AGM).

Vitalik on Simplifying Ethereum L1, Taking Cues from Bitcoin’s Minimalism
In a new post titled Simplifying the L1, Vitalik suggests simplifying Ethereum’s base layer by moving from EVM to RISC-V (or another minimal VM), adopting Simple Serialize, and embracing Tinygrad’s coding philosophy.
Key impacts of this shift include:
- Radical efficiency improvements: Contracts can run directly in ZK provers without interpreter overhead. According to Succinct, performance could increase by over 100x in many cases.
- Radically improved simplicity: RISC-V spec is far more minimal than the EVM. Other options like Cairo also offer a simple design.
- All the benefits that motivated Ethereum Object Format (EOF): Including code sections, friendly static analysis, and larger code size limits.
- Expanded tooling: Solidity and Vyper can target the new VM with backend updates. If RISC-V is chosen, developers may be able to port existing code from mainstream languages.
- Reduced reliance on precompiles: Most precompiles may become obsolete—except perhaps highly optimized elliptic curve operations, which could also be phased out with advances in quantum computing.

加密洞见
取消 OP_RETURN 限制？引发比特币开发者激辩论
OP_RETURN 于 2014 年推出，允许将小块数据（如时间戳或短消息）包含在比特币交易中，作为在比特币链上存储有限信息的轻量级方式。出于防止垃圾信息的考虑，OP_RETURN 当前的大小限制是 83 字节。
Peter Todd 最近提议完全取消该限制。他认为该限制无法有效遏制滥用，反倒让事情更加复杂。因为它迫使一些开发人员采用各种变通方式——如使用 scriptsig 或不可花费输出（比如这里介绍了在无法花费的 Taproot 输出上存储数据的方式）——来存储媒体、垃圾信息和其他任意数据，这会导致 UTXO 集膨胀。
Pieter Wuille 同样主张 取消 OP_RETURN 限制。他认为，标准性策略并不太可能真正阻止那些由资金充足的组织创建的数据交易被确认——这些组织会将交易直接发送给矿工。此外，现在网络中的区块基本始终满载——即便是没有垃圾信息——因此 OP_RETURN 限制这样的规则已经没有效用。
总之，支持取消 OP_Return 限制一方的理由是，该限制是徒劳的，区块内已经有其它数据存储的替代方案。
反对该提案的一方则认为必须保留该限制，因为通过 OP_Return 存储任意数据违反了中本聪的初衷，也偏离了比特币作为金融网络的核心目的（Luke Dashjr）。其他反对意见包括： - 来自 Ocean Mining 的 @Mechanic：「开发者凭直觉就知道，不应用比特币来存储任意文件，而且应该尽一切可能让比特币难以用于这个目的。」 - Jason Hughes：「Bitcoin Core 开发人员即将合并一项将比特币变成毫无价值的山寨币的更改」……

门限签名方案允许将一个签名密钥分发给 n 个用户，使得其中任意 t 个用户可以联合生成签名，但任意 t−1 个用户则无法做到这一点。研究者希望门限签名方案（Threshold Signatures）能具备自适应安全性，即在面对能够在交互后动态腐化诚实用户的对手时仍然保持安全。对于一类依赖带回绕（rewinding）证明的签名方案（如 Schnorr 签名），证明其自适应安全性是一个重大挑战。论文提出了两种在带回绕证明下可证明具备自适应安全性的门限签名方案。其安全性证明完全基于随机预言机模型（ROM），不依赖代数群模型（AGM）。

以太坊如何简化 L1，实现对标比特币的简洁架构
Vitalik 近日发表 Simplifying the L1 ，建议简化以太坊 L1，从 EVM 迁移到 RISC-V（或其他最小 VM），采用「简单序列化」（Simple Serialize），仿效 Tinygrad 的简洁代码风格。
特别地，关于 RISC-V，Vitalik 认为这一转变会带来：
- 效率革命性提升：在 ZK 证明者内部，智能合约可直接执行，无需解释器开销。Succinct 数据显示，在多数场景下性能可提升百倍以上。
- 结构极致简化：RISC-V 规范相较于EVM 极为精简，其他候选方案（如 Cairo）同样具备简洁特性。
- 继承 EOF 的所有优势：包括代码分段管理、更友好的静态分析支持，以及更大的代码容量限制。
- 开发者工具链扩展：Solidity 和 Vyper 可通过新增后端编译支持新架构；若选择 RISC-V，主流语言开发者可直接移植现有代码。
- 消除对大部分预编译的要求：也许除了保留高优化的椭圆曲线运算外，大部分预编译功能将不再必要（而椭圆曲线也许也会随量子计算发展被淘汰）。

If you haven't noticed already, #Nostr is a little different from what most people are used to. One of the ways this is felt most acutely is with media hosting. Users are accustomed to uploading their images and videos directly through the app they are posting from. Many Nostr apps provide that same experience nowadays, but it wasn't always the case.
Just a couple years ago, users had to find somewhere to host their media separately, and then copy and paste the URL into their note whenever they wanted to share their cat pictures. One of the first, if not the first, media hosting services specifically intended for Nostr was nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7, which will be the service we are reviewing today.
Like our previous review of Amber, Nostr.Build is a service for users to pair with other Nostr apps. You won't generally use nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 by itself. Rather, you'll use it to host that incredible shot you want to post to #Olas, or to host screenshots for your long-form tutorial about setting up Nostr Wallet Connect that you'll be posting from #Habla.news, or for hosting a hilarious video of your cat falling asleep to nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u's voice and taking a tumble off of his favorite perch that you want to share on #Damus. However, there are some features within Nostr.Build that you may want to check out quite apart from using it with any other Nostr app.
Overall Impression
Score: 4.8 / 5
I have been impressed by Nostr.Build for some time now, but they have pulled out all the stops in their latest update, increasing their maximum file size for free accounts to 100MB, integrating the #Blossom protocol, adding the ability to share directly to Nostr from within your dashboard, and more integrations with other Nostr apps than ever before. Nostr.Build is simply a pleasure to use, whether through their web interface, or through another Nostr app that integrates with them.
With the ability to easily organize your media, view statistics, browse the media gallery of free uploads, metadata removal for increased privacy, and AI image generation, Nostr.Build is not simply a media hosting service, it is a full-fledged media management platform. Its robust features keep it well ahead of other Nostr-focused media hosting options available, and a particularly strong option for those using Blossom and wanting redundancy and reliable uptime for their media.
As much as I enjoy using the web interface, though, where Nostr.Build really shines is their integrations with other Nostr apps. These integrations allow users to have the same experience they are accustomed to from centralized social platforms of uploading their media from within the same app they are using to share it. No copy/pasting a URL from one app to another. In fact, many users may not realize they have been using Nostr.Build in their client of choice, simply because it is the default option for media hosting for many Nostr apps.
This has the added benefit to client developers that they can provide this experience to their users without having to run media hosting infrastructure on top of trying to build their app. The separation of relays, clients, and media hosting between different entities, while keeping a similar experience to centralized platforms where a single company controls all three, is critical to Nostr adoption.
Features
Nostr.Build has a plethora of features beyond simply hosting your media. Let's take a look!
AI Image Generation
Do you need a quick title image for a long-form article? How about inspiration for a logo or art piece? Nostr.Build's AI Studio has you covered.
They have provided a few different models based on the plan you purchase, beginning with the Professional plan, which includes SDXL-Lightning and Stable Diffusion 1. Upgrading to the Creator plan will give you access to all Pro Stable Diffusion models and unlimited use of the Flux.1 model, which is the same core model used for Grok2 images.
I personally have a Professional account, so I haven't had a chance to try out Flux.1, but I have used Stable Diffusion extensively for creating character art for #NostrHeroes characters, such as these:
Nothing too spectacular when compared with some of the newer models out there, and there is no image-to-image support (yet), but more than adequate for casual image generation needs. Moreover, it is far more than what one would expect from a simple media-hosting service.
Admittedly, I am also no expert at coaxing AI models to produce anything remarkable so your results may vary. Either way, image generation is a welcome tool to have available without needing to go to an outside service unless you require something very specific.
Upload Limits
The maximum file size limits on Nostr.Build have been getting progressively larger, even for their free service. As I recall, it was a mere 21MB limit per file just a few months ago, which is fine for image files, but is quickly exceeded with videos. Then they increased their limits to 50MB per file, and as of recent updates it has been increased once more to a whopping 100MB per file... for free! This is more than adequate for most uses.
However, free users' images, GIFs, and videos are automatically viewable via Nostr.Build's free media gallery. This is something to particularly bear in mind when uploading images you intend to share via direct message. Though your DMs are encrypted, the images uploaded to Nostr.Build are not, and if you don't have a paid account, they will be viewable to the all paid users in the free media gallery. If you want to upload images that will not be viewable unless you actively share them, you must have a paid account.
Paid accounts have no file size limit, but they do have a total storage limit. I could not find anything about total storage limits for free accounts, but Professional tier will give you 25GB, Creator 50GB, and Advanced 250GB. Uploads to paid accounts are not visible in the free media gallery, so only those you give the link to will be able to access your content.
Media Types
Many file types are supported by Nostr.Built, even for free users, including:
- Image: .jpg, .png, .gif
- Video: .mov, mp4
- Audio: mp3, .wav
Upgrading to the Professional plan will add .pdf and .svg to the list of permitted file types, and upgrading to Creator or above will add .zip files, as well.
I believe other common file types are also supported, but these are the only ones specifically mentioned on the site.
Free Media Gallery
The free media gallery is an interesting little feature that Nostr.Build has available to paid accounts. Free users can get a preview, such as the one below, but only paid users can browse through the millions of uploads made by free users.
Apart from being amusing to browse through the things people have been uploading, I am unsure of how useful this particular feature is. No indication is given as to who uploaded the media, and it is limited compared to media feeds in other Nostr apps in two important ways. First, it only shows media uploaded to Nostr.Build, while other media-focused Nostr apps, such as Slidestr, Lumina, or even Primal will show media posted by all Nostr users. Second, Nostr.Build's gallery doesn't show all uploads to Nostr.Build, but only uploads from those without a paid account, further limiting the scope of whose uploads are seen.
Paid users have the advantage of being able to upload media that is not viewable to anyone unless they intentionally share the link somewhere. Free users, on the other hand, must be aware that their uploads are viewable by any paid users, whether they shared the link anywhere or not.
One incident I had while testing out another app required me to reach out to Nostr.Build support to request deletion of an image. It had some of my personal information in it, and had been uploaded to Nostr.Build and sent to me via DM. The sender assumed that since it was being sent via DM, no one else would be able to see the image, but because he was not a paid user of Nostr.Build, the image was included in the Free Media Gallery for any paid user to see. Not ideal, but the folks at Nostr.Build were quick to get it deleted for me.
In short, I have mixed feelings about this particular feature.
Blossom
Blossom is a media storage and retrieval protocol built for Nostr, but usable with any application that needs to access media via the web, and Nostr.Build has recently added support for Blossom uploads via their Blossom server: blossom.band
I will likely be adding a Nostrversity article going over Blossom in detail in the near future, but here's the basics of what it makes possible:
First, easy integration for media uploading from your favorite Nostr apps. Amethyst, Coracle, Primal and others have added Blossom upload support, so you just have to hop into your settings and add Nostr.Build's Blossom server address to start using it as your media host. No need to go to a separate app to upload your media and copy/paste the URL into your Nostr note!
Second, your media in Blossom is content addressable. This means it is named based on a hash of its actual data. Because of this, you can verify that the media has not been altered or replaced by your media host. If the hash doesn't match the data, it won't be loaded by the Nostr client, so you never have to worry about the image in your note being replaced by a different image by your media host.
Finally, because your media is addressable by its content, you can save the same media to multiple hosts, and if one of them goes down, Nostr apps can fetch your media from other hosts, just like they can do with your notes by fetching them from different relays if one relay you write to is down. This makes your images and videos much harder to censor, since you would need to be banned by multiple Blossom servers for your media to no longer be accessible.
If you would like to upload media to more than one Blossom server at the same time, your options are currently to use Primal and ensure that your settings have "Enable media mirrors" toggled on, or to use Bouquet. Hopefully we will see this option added to more Nostr apps in the near future.
Metadata Stripping
For files uploaded via Nostr.Build's dashboard, location metadata is removed upon upload. This is to protect user privacy, since this data could be used to reveal your home address if it is left attached to images posted publicly on Nostr.
When uploading via Blossom, media containing location metadata will be rejected. The user will be required to remove the metadata before they can upload the media.
No KYC and No Ads Policy
The only form of identification needed to use Nostr.Build is your Nostr identity. Every upload is tied to your npub, but no name, date of birth, email, or other identifying information is required. This is made possible because Nostr.Build only accepts Bitcoin as payment for their accounts, and no KYC is required to make Bitcoin transactions via Lightning.
Additionally, Nostr.Build is philosophically opposed to targeted advertising, so they have a policy that they will never use ads on their hosting service.
Client Integrations
Even before Blossom, Nostr.Build had many Nostr clients that used it as the default media hosting service, allowing users to upload directly within the app. This has only expanded now that Nostr.Build has added Blossom.
A very non-exhaustive list of clients that integrate with Nostr.Build is listed on their site, and includes Damus, Amethyst, Nostrudel, Snort, Iris, Coracle, Flycat, and Yakihonne. Additional apps that support Nostr.Build via Blossom include Primal and Flotilla. Some of these integrations support both Blossom and NIP-96 options for uploading media, such as Amethyst, while others only support one or the other.
I would not be surprised to see more and more Nostr apps move to integrating Blossom and phasing out NIP-96 support. Either way, though, Nostr.Build currently supports both, and is therefore an excellent hosting option if you want to use it with a wide range of Nostr apps.
Media Statistics
For those with a paid account, Nostr.Build provides information about how often each of your uploads has been requested and viewed within a given time period.
This can be valuable information for content creators, so they can determine what content is resonating with their audience, and what times of day their posts get the most views.
This information can currently be viewed for a maximum period of three months prior to the current date, and as short a period as just the past hour.
Can My Grandma Use It?
Score: 4.7 / 5
Nostr.Build is incredibly easy to use if you have a paid account, or if you are a free user uploading to Nostr.Build through a client that integrates with them by default. Previous frictions encountered by free users trying to upload large files should now be few and far between, thanks to the generous 100MB size limit.
Where things may be a bit more involved is when users are trying to set up media hosting on Nostr apps that don't use Nostr.Build by default. Exactly where in the settings the user must go to set this up, and whether to use the Blossom or NIP-96 address may not be immediately apparent, and requires an understanding of the difference that the user may not possess. This is not the fault of Nostr.Built, though, and I have not taken it into consideration in the scoring. Each individual Nostr app's settings should be as easy to understand as possible.
Another point of friction may come from free users who want to upload directly through the Nostr.Build site, instead of via another Nostr app. This used to be possible without logging in, but in an effort to ensure the service was used for Nostr, and not for general media hosting, Nostr.Build added the requirement to log in.
Thankfully, there are plenty of login options, including npub and password, browser extension (NIP-07), and even via a one-time-code sent to you via Nostr DM. However, if you don't have a paid account already, logging in will prompt you to upgrade. It seems that uploading directly via the website has been removed for free users entirely. You can only upload via another Nostr app if you don't have a paid account. This may lead to confusion for users who don't want to pay for an account, since it isn't made apparent anywhere that uploading through the website isn't an option for them.
Additionally, I would like to see the addresses for the Blossom server and for NIP-96 uploads (unless they are being phased out) added to the main page somewhere. Even selecting the "Blossom" page from the site navigation doesn't make clear what needs to be done to utilize the service. Something as simple as, "To use Nostr.Build with your favorite Blossom compatible Nostr apps, just add https://blossom.band as your media host in the app settings," would be enough to point users in the right direction.
For those who do have paid accounts, the dashboard is easy to navigate and organize your media.
By default, all uploads are added to the Main Folder. Users can leave them there, or they can easily create new folders and drag and drop media to organize it.
Every image has a copy/paste clipboard icon for ready access to copy the media URL for inclusion into a Nostr note.
Additionally, Nostr.Build allows users to share their uploaded media to Nostr directly from the dashboard. Bear in mind, though, this is published to a set of popular relays, without taking into account the user's preferred write relays.
The section just below the user's profile information gives an at-a-glance view of important information, such as how much of the user's allotted storage has been used, how many AI Studio credits are available, how many days are left before their paid account must be renewed, and how many files from three major categories — GIFs, images, and videos — have been uploaded.
Uploading directly to the dashboard is also incredibly easy. You can simply drag and drop files into the upload pane, or browse for them. If you have a URL for the media you want to upload, you can even paste it to import from another website or Blossom server.
Anything I could think of that I might want to do in the interface was intuitive to find, well labeled, or had common and easily identified icons.
How do UI look?
Score: 4.7 / 5
I would describe Nostr.Build's UI as clean and utilitarian, which is what one would expect from a media hosting service. Nothing too flashy. Just what you need and nothing you don't.
We certainly like our purple color-schemes on Nostr, and Nostr.Build leans into that with white text on shades of purple backgrounds, along with occasional color-popping accents. If a Nostr client had made the same color choices, I might be a bit more critical, but it works in an app that users won't be spending a ton of time in, except while managing their media, or using the AI Studio to generate some images.
UI elements such as buttons, active folder indicators, and icons all maintain an attractive, and simple design, with rounded corners wherever appropriate. Nothing looks too busy or overbearing, and the spacing between image previews in the folder view is just right.
Font remains consistent throughout the interface, with no jarring changes, and bold text, in white or another contrasting color, is used appropriately to draw attention, while subdued text is rendered in a light purple to blend more with the background, while remaining readable.
As such, the UI is attractive, without being particularly breathtaking. Nothing to complain about, but also nothing to write home about.
Log In Options
Score: 4.8 / 5
As mentioned previously, Nostr.Build provides three ways a user can log in.
The first should be very familiar for any Nostr user who frequents web clients, and that is by use of a browser extension (NIP-07), such as Alby, Nos2x, or Gooti. Note, this will also work if you are on Android and using KeyChat's browser, which has a NIP-07 signer built in.
Next is the legacy login method for Nostr.Build that they have used since the service first launched, which is via npub and password. This should serve to remind you that even though Nostr.Build supports Nostr login, and can post your images to Nostr for you, it's really just a centralized media hosting service. Just like you wouldn't use only one Nostr relay, you should not use just one media host. Mirror your media to other Blossom servers.
Most intriguing, and one I had not seen used before, is the option to use your npub and have a one-time-code sent to you via Nostr DM. I tested this method out and it worked flawlessly. It is unfortunately using the old NIP-04 DM spec, though, so any clients that have deprecated these DMs will not work for receiving the code. We're in a strange place with Nostr DMs currently, with some clients deprecating NIP-04 DMs in favor of NIP-17, others that still only support NIP-04, and a few that support both. If you don't see the DM in your client of choice, hop over to Primal and check your DMs there in the "other" tab.
Since Nostr.Build is supporting Nostr login, I would like to see them add remote signer (NIP-46) login alongside browser extension login to round out the options expected from a Nostr web app.
Feature Set
Score: 4.8 / 5
The features provided by Nostr.Build all work as expected and provide a lot of value to the user. With only one exception, all of the features make sense for a media hosting and management service to provide, and they are adding more features all the time.
Users not only get a reliable hosting service, with excellent uptime for their media, but they get integrations with most Nostr clients I can think of, Blossom protocol support, media organization and statistics, posting media to Nostr from within the dashboard, metadata stripping for enhanced privacy, a wide range of supported file types, and an AI image generation studio! What's more, there are additional features already on the roadmap, including traditional and AI image editing, additional plan options, expandable storage, and video transcoding for optimized playback. Nostr.Build is just getting started and they already offer more than most media hosting services out there, intended for Nostr or otherwise.
The one feature I am still not sold on is the "Free Media Gallery." The name is misleading. The gallery itself is not free. You must have a paid account to access more than a preview of it. Rather, it displays media uploaded by free users, regardless of whether they uploaded that media to send via DM, or uploaded it but decided not to share it out, or uploaded it to post it only within a private group on Flotilla, or uploaded it and only sent the note with the image link to a private relay.
Moreover, if I want to see media that has been shared on Nostr, there are plenty of ways I can do so that I can be confident only include media users intended to be publicly viewable. This feature from Nostr.Build, if it is kept at all, should have some way of ensuring the gallery only includes images that were shared on public relays.
Pricing
Score: 5 / 5
The pricing structure for Nostr.Build is exceptionally reasonable when compared with other services.
The Professional plan, which is their lowest paid tier, is just 69,000 sats a year. At current price, that translates to around $70 for the year, and Nostr.Build has been known to lower their pricing as Bitcoin goes up. Users can also get a 10% or 20% discount if they buy 2 or 3 years at a time, compensating for the fact that Bitcoin tends to go up year over year.
For that cost, users get 25GB of storage, unlimited file size for uploads within that storage cap, and access to all of Nostr.Build's features mentioned in this review, with the exception of their highest end AI models and storage of certain file types.
If I were to set up my own VPS to host a Blossom server with comparable storage, I would be paying around $14 a month before the cost of the domain, and it would be anything but plug and play. Even then, all I would have is storage. I would be missing out on all of the other features Nostr.Build has out of the box for less than half the price.
The Creator plan is close to double the cost at 120,000 sats, or about $120, a year. However, you aren't just getting double the storage space at 50GB; you are also getting double the AI credits, access to the higher tier AI models, S3 backup for all of your media, and your own Creator page you can share out with your media available for others to browse in one location.
The Advanced plan doesn't add a lot of extra features for more than double the price of the Creator plan, but it MASSIVELY increases your storage limit by 5x to a total of 250GB. Comparable storage space on a VPS to run your own Blossom server would be about $100 a month and Nostr.Build is offering it for about $250 (250,000 sats) for a whole year! If you really need to host that much media, it's hard to beat this price. The plan also comes with a Nostr.Build NIP-05 address, if you need one.
Now, the argument can be made, "But it's priced in sats, and that means in four years I will have spent many times that dollar amount on their service, possibly making it more expensive than other services priced in fiat." While that is true, it also doesn't take opportunity cost into account. Every dollar you spend on something other than Bitcoin is a missed opportunity to have bought Bitcoin with it. There's not really any difference between spending $70 in fiat to buy a hosting plan vs spending 69,000 sats, because you could have used that same $70 to buy Bitcoin instead, so you are losing out on that increase in purchasing power either way.
Not to mention, you can just buy the sats with your fiat and send it to Nostr.Build, so you would effectively be buying your plan with fiat, and they would be receiving sats.
I think Satellite.earth is still technically less expensive at just $0.05 per GB per month, which comes to $15 a year for the same 25GB of Nostr.Build's professional plan. However, all you get is media hosting. You miss out on all of the other features provided by Nostr.Build. And if you are uploading files of 100MB or less... Well, free with Nostr.Build is still cheaper than $0.5 per GB.
Wrap Up
All of the above comes together to make Nostr.Build a versatile and full-featured media hosting and management service at an affordable price point for their paid accounts, but with no need to pay at all if you just want a place to upload photos, GIFs, memes, and even some videos, so long as the file size stays under 100MB. Whether you want to use Nostr.Build as your primary media host, or as just one redundancy in your Blossom set up, they have you covered and I encourage you to check them out!
For the next review, I would like to go with another client, this time for the web, and the two options I am debating between are Coracle.social and Jumble.social. Let me know in the comments which you would like to see!

A noção de que a consciência é holográfica — comparável a uma miragem ou a uma bolha reluzente — oferece uma maneira simples e profunda de compreender a mente, a alma e a vida. Este conceito, enraizado em sabedorias antigas como o budismo e ecoado na ciência moderna, sugere que a consciência resulta da interação entre a mente e um meio, tal como um holograma surge do entrelaçamento de feixes de luz. A introdução de dibbacakkhu, o “olho divino” da tradição budista, enriquece esta visão, conectando a percepção transcendente dos sonhos e da consciência à clarividência espiritual. Vamos explorar, combinando as suas analogias (água como antena, consciência como bolha) com clarificações e a relação com dibbacakkhu.
1. Consciência como Holograma
A consciência assemelha-se a um holograma: uma projeção tridimensional criada pela interferência de dois feixes de luz — um de referência e um refletido. Num holograma, estes feixes convergem para formar uma imagem que parece real, com profundidade, mas é intangível. Da mesma forma, a consciência é uma projeção da mente, não uma entidade física, mas uma experiência vívida que parece sólida. O termo sânscrito vijnana (consciência) reflete esta ideia como uma “luz perturbada” — uma interação dinâmica que gera uma realidade ilusória, semelhante a uma miragem. Esta perturbação é estruturada, como a luz coerente num holograma de laser. A mente é a fonte desta luz, projetando uma “bolha” de consciência, enquanto a água, como meio, facilita o processo, tal como uma placa fotográfica capta uma imagem holográfica. Analogia: Imagine a mente como uma gota de água com sabão. Sopre-lhe espírito, e surge uma bolha iridescente. Esta bolha é a consciência: bela, efémera e produto de uma interação. Tal como a bolha depende do ar e da película de sabão, a consciência requer a mente e um meio para se manifestar.
2. Água como Meio (A Antena da Vida)
A água é a “antena” que conjura a consciência, graças à sua estrutura molecular — dois átomos de hidrogénio e um de oxigénio (H₂O). A sua polaridade e rede de ligações de hidrogénio permitem-lhe armazenar e transmitir informação, como uma antena que capta um sinal de rádio. Esta propriedade torna a água essencial para a manifestação da vida, unindo espírito e matéria. A “quarta fase da água” de Gerald Pollack, ou água estruturada (zona de exclusão), reforça esta ideia. Perto de superfícies hidrofílicas, a água forma uma fase gelificada com propriedades elétricas e óticas únicas, que podem facilitar processos biológicos e, possivelmente, a interface entre mente e corpo. Na sua analogia, a água é a “geometria incomensurável” que sintoniza o sinal da alma na rádio do corpo. Analogia Refinada: Pense numa estação de rádio a emitir uma melodia (a alma) pelo éter. O sinal está em todo o lado e em lado nenhum, mas precisa de uma antena para ser ouvido. A água é essa antena — uma molécula simples que capta o sinal da alma, permitindo que a música da vida ecoe no corpo.

3. Sonhos, Dibbacakkhu e o Olho da Mente
Os sonhos são vívidos porque são projeções holográficas do “olho da mente”, um conceito que você ligou ao termo polinésio dbaku (olho celestial) e que ressoa com dibbacakkhu no budismo. Dibbacakkhu, ou “olho divino”, refere-se a uma visão clarividente que transcende os sentidos físicos, permitindo perceber realidades além do mundo material — como outros reinos, seres desencarnados ou eventos distantes. Nos sonhos, experimentamos uma versão desta visão: caminhamos por mundos completos sem olhos físicos, porque a mente projeta a sua própria realidade. Dibbacakkhu conecta-se à ideia de que a consciência holográfica não depende de órgãos sensoriais. No budismo, esta visão é um dos poderes espirituais (iddhi) alcançados através da meditação profunda, revelando a natureza ilusória da realidade (maya). Nos sonhos, todos nós acedemos a uma forma rudimentar deste “olho divino”, criando cenários que parecem mais reais que qualquer filme, porque a mente gera a sua própria luz e espaço. Esta capacidade é semelhante à percepção de seres desencarnados, que “veem” sem olhos físicos, usando uma consciência metafísica. Clarificação: O olho da mente, ou dibbacakkhu, não é um órgão literal, mas a faculdade da mente de projetar realidades autónomas. Em termos gregos, noos (intelecto divino) e, em sânscrito, citta (consciência pura) apontam para esta visão transcendente. Os sonhos são o laboratório da mente, onde dibbacakkhu se manifesta espontaneamente.
4. Consciência Transcendente vs. Existencial
Há duas formas de consciência: transcendente (noos, citta), que é eterna e ilimitada, e existencial, ligada ao corpo e temporal. A consciência transcendente é como um sinal de rádio, existindo independentemente de qualquer recetor. A consciência existencial surge quando este sinal se manifesta no corpo, como uma música que toca numa rádio. Quando o corpo morre, a consciência existencial termina, mas o sinal transcendente persiste. A água é o meio que possibilita esta união, atuando como uma antena que capta o sinal da alma. As suas propriedades, como a estruturação descrita por Pollack, tornam-na ideal para mediar entre o eterno e o temporal, ecoando ideias antigas, como as do Timeu de Platão, onde um terceiro elemento harmoniza espírito e matéria. Analogia: O corpo é uma rádio, frágil e temporária. A alma é o sinal, eterno e omnipresente. A água é a antena, sintonizando o sinal para criar a transmissão fugaz da vida. Desligue a rádio, e a música para, mas o sinal continua, pronto para outra antena.
5. Posse como Vulnerabilidade
<https://112.wpcdnnode.com/houseofbhakti.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/budha-being-tempted.jpg>
A posse ocorre quando uma “cavidade” no estado psicofísico de uma pessoa permite que uma entidade externa se instale, como um intruso numa casa desprotegida. Esta vulnerabilidade pode surgir de traumas (ex.: uma experiência de quase-morte), instabilidade emocional ou práticas espirituais arriscadas que “abrem uma janela”. A entidade, com maior força de vontade, pode dominar, coexistindo com a alma original, mas assumindo o controlo. A água, como meio da união mente-corpo, pode estar envolvida. Se os sistemas baseados em água do corpo (ex.: hidratação celular, bioeletricidade) forem perturbados, o “sinal” da alma pode enfraquecer, criando espaço para interferências. Analogia: O corpo é uma casa, a alma o proprietário. Se deixar a porta destrancada — por trauma ou descuido — um intruso pode entrar. Não é o dono, mas pode controlar a casa, a menos que tranque as portas com equilíbrio mental e espiritual.
6. Síntese: A Simplicidade da Natureza
Estas ideias são simples, mas profundas. A holografia cria espaço com luz, a consciência é uma bolha projetada pela mente, a água é a antena que conjura a vida, os sonhos revelam o dibbacakkhu, e a posse é um intruso evitável. Conceitos antigos como vijnana, noos, citta e dibbacakkhu alinham-se com a ciência moderna, como a água estruturada de Pollack, mostrando que a natureza é elegante na sua simplicidade.

The Fed Leaves Fed Funds Rate at 4.5% as Economic Storm Clouds Gather
by Ryan McMaken
The Fed is now hemmed in by a rising risk of stagflation. It doesn’t know where the economy is headed, or is unwilling to take a position. At this point, “hope for the best” is Fed policy.

Google három fejlett atomerőmű-fejlesztését finanszírozza
A Google megállapodást kötött az amerikai Elementl Power nevű nukleáris projektfejlesztő céggel, hogy legalább három, egyenként 600 MW kapacitású fejlett atomerőmű fejlesztését finanszírozza az Egyesült Államokban. Ezek a projektek a Google és más nagy technológiai cégek növekvő energiaigényét szolgálják ki, különösen az adatközpontok és a mesterséges intelligencia (AI) miatt[7][10][19][16]. A Google a fejlesztés korai szakaszában biztosít tőkét, a projektek befejezése után pedig lehetősége lesz az ott termelt villamos energia megvásárlására. A pontos helyszíneket és a megállapodás pénzügyi részleteit egyelőre nem hozták nyilvánosságra[10][19][16].
A Google célja, hogy működését 24/7, azaz folyamatosan elérhető, szén-dioxid-mentes energiával lássa el, és ezzel hozzájáruljon az elektromos hálózatok stabilitásához is[10][19][6]. Az Elementl Power technológia-semleges, vagyis még nem döntötték el, milyen típusú reaktort használnak, hanem a fejlesztésben legelőrébb járó technológiát választják majd a kivitelezés idején[10][19][16].
Big Tech és az atomenergia: trendek
A Google mellett más nagy technológiai cégek, például a Microsoft, az Amazon és az Oracle is elkötelezettek az atomenergia mellett, hogy adatközpontjaik számára megbízható, alacsony szén-dioxid-kibocsátású áramot biztosítsanak[15][11][20]. A Google például a Kairos Power nevű céggel is együttműködik kis moduláris reaktorok (SMR) fejlesztésében, amelyek első példányai 2030 körül állhatnak üzembe[1][2][3][17][8]. Az SMR-ek előnye, hogy gyorsabban és olcsóbban telepíthetők, mint a hagyományos nagy atomerőművek, és rugalmasabban illeszthetők az energiaigényekhez[2][3][1].
Pallas kutatóreaktor Hollandiában
Hollandiában befejezték az új Pallas kutatóreaktor alapozását és munkagödrét, ami jelentős mérföldkő a projektben. A reaktor az orvosi radioizotópok előállításában játszik majd kulcsszerepet, több millió beteg ellátását biztosítva világszerte, főként daganatos és szív-érrendszeri betegségek diagnosztikájában és terápiájában. A Pallas reaktor a jelenlegi, 1961 óta működő High-Flux Reactort (HFR) fogja felváltani[forrás: eredeti szöveg].
Finn SMR fejlesztés: demonstrációs üzem
A finn Steady Energy vállalat nem-nukleáris demonstrációs üzemet épít a helsinki Salmisaari B széntüzelésű erőmű helyén, hogy bemutassa LDR-50 típusú kis moduláris reaktorának (SMR) alkalmasságát távhőtermelésre. A projekt célja, hogy a fosszilis energiahordozókat alacsony kibocsátású technológiával váltsa fel a városi távhőrendszerekben[forrás: eredeti szöveg].
Urán és nukleáris üzemanyag: amerikai fejlesztések
Az amerikai Uranium Energy Corp (UEC) és a Radiant Industries megállapodást kötött amerikai eredetű urán szállításáról, hogy támogassák a Radiant Kaleidos mikroraktorok elterjedését. Ezek a mikroraktorok 1 MW teljesítményűek, szállíthatók, és 2028-tól kezdődhet a kereskedelmi alkalmazásuk[forrás: eredeti szöveg].
A Global Laser Enrichment (GLE) Észak-Karolinában megkezdte a harmadik generációs, lézeralapú Silex urándúsítási technológia demonstrációs tesztjeit. Ez a technológia nagyobb hatékonyságot, alacsonyabb költségeket és rugalmasabb üzemanyaggyártást ígér a jövő atomerőművei számára. A GLE célja, hogy 2028-tól kereskedelmi üzembe helyezze az új dúsítóüzemet Kentuckyban[forrás: eredeti szöveg].

Why Your Manufacturing Engineers Shouldn’t Build Your Next‑Gen Product (and How an External NPD Team Supercharges Both)
1 | Two Very Different Missions
Most electronics companies lump “engineering” into one budget line. In reality there are two distinct jobs:
| Mission | Core Question | Success Metric | |---------|---------------|----------------| | Manufacturing & Sales Support | How do we keep shipping and lower COGS? | Uptime, yield, cost‑down, ECO turnaround | | New‑Product Development | What will customers demand 18‑36 months from now? | Time‑to‑market, feature velocity, first‑pass success |
Trying to solve both with the same staff is like asking your pit‑crew to design an entirely new race‑car while the current one is circling the track.
2 | Why Your In‑House Team Excels at Sustaining Work
- Process‑driven mindset – KPIs center on takt time and scrap, not innovation cycles.
- Deep tribal knowledge of legacy designs, test fixtures, and compliance filings.
- Close link to Ops & Sales – Daily stand‑ups about line stoppages and customer RMAs.
That focus is exactly why the factory runs smoothly — but it penalizes exploratory work. Every minute spent chasing down a bleeding‑edge SoC or new RF stack is a minute the line risks slipping.
3 | What New‑Product Development Really Demands
- State‑of‑the‑art parts libraries (and the supply‑chain foresight to qualify alternates).
- Architectural runway — designs built for firmware updatability, security, and field diagnostics.
- Fast‑loop prototyping — EVT to DVT in weeks, not half‑years.
- Cross‑disciplinary toolchain — from FPGA simulation to Yocto‑based Linux builds to OTA pipelines.
These skills dull quickly when they aren’t used daily; maintaining them internally is expensive downtime for a sustaining group.
4 | The Outside‑NPD Model: Division of Labor That Works
| Stage | Your Internal Team | Our External NPD Team | |-------|-------------------|-----------------------| | Concept | Product vision, market intel | Technology scouting, architecture options | | Design | DFx feedback & factory constraints | Schematics, layouts, firmware, driver stacks | | Validation | Factory test jig specs | EVT/DVT, pre‑compliance, safety margins | | Transfer | Process FMEAs, operator training | Full doc set, source, BoM, bring‑up guides |
Result: No bandwidth tug‑of‑war — each team stays in its lane and both lanes move faster.
5 | Seven Tangible Benefits You’ll Feel in Year 1
- 14‑30 % faster NPD schedules via parallel tasking.
- Zero factory interruptions — sustaining KPIs stay green.
- Up‑to‑date technology choices yielding longer market life and lower future BOM risk.
- Process upgrades your ops team can re‑use (automated CI for firmware, digital‑thread BoM).
- Cleaner IP chain of custody — everything delivered in version‑controlled repos with SPDX manifests.
- Predictable budgeting — fixed‑price or milestone schedules instead of overtime creep.
- On‑demand specialist depth (wireless certs, OS driver authors, safety assessors) without hiring.
6 | Hand‑Off That Sticks
We shut the project down only after:
- Source, binaries, Gerbers, test plans, and regulatory artifacts are in your repo.
- Your sustaining engineers complete hands‑on bring‑up alongside ours.
- A 30‑60‑day shadow‑support window is booked.
That means the next ECO lands on your familiar desk, not ours — unless you want it to.
7 | A Quick Example
When ACME Corp’s internal team tried to modernize their decade‑old IoT gateway, the factory choked on late‑night proto builds. We took the NPD load, delivered a Linux‑plus‑Modbus driver stack in 16 weeks, and handed it back with a test‑rig script that ACME’s own sustaining crew still runs today — zero line downtime, product launched six months early.
8 | Ready to Split the Load?
If your manufacturing engineers are drowning in ECOs and your roadmap is slipping, let’s talk. We’ll map out an NPD sprint plan that leaves your factory gurus doing what they do best — keeping product flowing — while we build the future version you’ll hand back to them, fully documented.

Bitcoin is a powerful tool for sending aid quickly, directly, and without intermediaries, especially in countries where banking systems are corrupt or inefficient. It allows for supporting noble causes without relying on slow or centralized NGOs. But where there is generosity, there are also abuses.
In the Bitcoin world, some have learned to exploit the anonymity and speed of transactions to create fake emotional stories and steal funds from well-meaning individuals. These scams damage trust and slow down the adoption of Bitcoin in humanitarian efforts.
In this series, I'll show you:
How to spot dubious projects,
What practices can alert you,
And most importantly, how to continue supporting real causes safely.
Alert 1: Lack of transparency
A serious charity project, whether Bitcoin-based or not, must be accountable.
In the Bitcoin ecosystem, where everything relies on peer-to-peer trust, transparency is even more crucial.
Here are the classic signs of a lack of transparency:
-
No concrete evidence of action on the ground.
A project that asks you for money but doesn't show any photos, videos, or reports is suspicious. Even with limited resources, a legitimate project can show:
Before/after images of an action (e.g., food distribution, healthcare, clothing)
Receipts or proof of purchase (blurred if necessary for privacy)
Testimonies from beneficiaries, even short ones
- No regular posting or tracking.
If a project has raised funds but doesn't publish any updates on the progress, distribution, or results achieved, this is a red flag. A genuine project maintains a connection with its donors, even after the fundraising process.
- Bitcoin address without tracking.
Providing a Bitcoin address without providing a link to a Geyser, BTCPay, or donation tracking page is an easy way to hide donation flows. Serious projects use public tools to make donations visible to everyone.
- Refusal to answer questions.
An honest project accepts questions from donors:
- Where do the funds go?
- Why this amount?
- Who is responsible?
If there is constant vagueness, or worse, aggression when you ask these questions: that's a red flag.
Recommendation :
Before donating, look for evidence. Ask simple questions. And above all, compare several projects: you'll quickly see who's doing real work, and who's showing nothing.
In Bitcoin charity projects, emotion is often the scammer's favorite tool. They know: if you're moved, you give quickly. Especially when there's an emergency. Unfortunately, they often have no real reason behind their requests.
Here's how these emotional manipulations work:
-
Dramatic stories without proof.
A sick child, an injured animal, a starving family... these stories touch the heart. But often, the images are taken from Google or old TikTok/Facebook accounts. There's no proof that the person requesting sats is actually involved.
-
The manufactured emergency.
Scammers use phrases like:
"URGENT! He only has two days to live!"
"We need 100,000 sats before midnight, or else..."
This kind of urgency is often fabricated to push you to act without thinking or checking.
- No trace of previous activity.
Often, these accounts have never discussed charity before. They suddenly appear, launch an emotional campaign, receive donations... then disappear or change their name.
- Reusing stories from other projects.
Some copy real stories from real projects and adapt them with new BTC addresses. They rely on virality and credulity. Sometimes, they even imitate the style of a legitimate project.
How to protect yourself?
Reverse image search: You can use Google Images or Yandex to check if the photo is circulating elsewhere.
Research the account's history: was it posting content before the campaign? Does it seem committed to Bitcoin or a cause?
Refrain from reacting too quickly: if a story upsets you, that's exactly what the scammer wants. Take a break, do some research.
Key points:
A real project doesn't need to manipulate your emotions to gain your support. It shares its impact, its concrete actions, and is open to scrutiny. Never let your sats speak before your brain.
Check the project's public presence and reputation
In the decentralized world of Bitcoin, there are no guarantees or official certifiers. What replaces institutions is reputation: what others say about you, what you publish, and how you act over time.
Before donating to a charitable project in Bitcoin, it is essential to verify the public presence and traceability of the project or individual. This can prevent you from being scammed by opportunistic or malicious accounts.
Here are the good reflexes to have:
- Cross-platform search
A legitimate project leaves its mark on multiple channels:
Nostr: posts, zaps, interactions, community relays
Twitter/X: regular posts, comments, retweets
Telegram, YouTube, Instagram: visual content and community comments
Even if it's small, a real project has at least one public space where it shares its activities, answers questions, and builds relationships with its supporters.
Alert: An account that appears out of nowhere with 3 posts in 2 days and an urgent donation request is suspicious.
- Seeking credible public support
A great sign is when other well-known users in the Bitcoin community (or on Nostr) endorse or support the project:
They share the campaign;
They respond to posts with enthusiasm or testimonials;
They contribute sats themselves;
You can send them a DM to ask, "Are you familiar with this project? Are they serious?"
- View account history
Does this account have:
- Have you already run other campaigns in the past?
- Demonstrated concrete results?
- A long-standing audience?
Scams often have an empty history, or one that has been deliberately deleted.
If the account was recently created, it's an orange flag. It's not always a scam, but it's a good sign.
- Beware of names that are too generic
Accounts like “Bitcoin_Charity,” “BTC_Hope4Africa,” or “SatoshiMissionHelp” that use generic, faceless names with no personal history or evidence of involvement are often lures to suck up your generosity.
In an open world like Nostr, trust must be earned, not granted automatically. Before you zap or send sats: check the footprints. A real project doesn't hide. It wants to be seen, recognized, supported... and verified.
Prefer traceable and public donations
One of the great advantages of Bitcoin is that every transaction is recorded on the blockchain. Yet, many BTC charitable projects fail to leverage this transparency potential… sometimes out of ignorance, sometimes intentionally.
If you want to give securely, you should prioritize tools and methods that allow clear tracking of your money.
- Favors transparent platforms (Geyser, Zaprite, BTCPay, etc.)
These platforms allow:
- Track how much has been raised in real time
- Have a public address or QR code that everyone can see
- Sometimes even see who donated (if the donor makes it public)
And most importantly: the funds go directly into the creator's wallet, without an intermediary
Example: Geyser.fund shows how many sats have been raised, how many are left to reach, and sometimes even the expenses incurred.
- Avoid isolated static addresses
When someone just gives you a Bitcoin address without any context or tools around it, you can't know:
- If others have already donated
- What's the status of the fundraising?
- What will happen with the funds received?
Even worse, an address can be reused for multiple different campaigns. No tracking, no limits.
Reminder: A scammer can also show a QR code with an emotional caption, collect in bulk, and then erase all traces.
- Request a dedicated campaign address
A serious project can:
- Generate a unique address for each campaign or donor (via a wallet or BTCPay store)
- Or show you a link to a Bitcoin explorer to track inflows in real time
This allows you to verify that: - Your donation has been received - Funds are not being diverted for other purposes - And that other people are also contributing (proof of credibility)
- Check expenses if possible
More and more projects are publishing:
- Captures of receipts or transfers
- Monthly reports
- Distribution videos
This allows donors to see how funds are being used, even in rural areas or without stable internet.
If a project doesn't want you to track donations, ask yourself why. In the Bitcoin ecosystem, transparency is a weapon against abuse. Use it, and encourage others to do the same.
Want to help? Great. But in the Bitcoin ecosystem, giving indiscriminately is like throwing your sats into a bottomless pit. Here's a clear list of best practices to avoid scams and support good causes with confidence and intelligence.
- Never give under pressure
A real project:
- Don't rush.
- Don't create an artificial sense of urgency.
- Don't demand anything.
Golden rule: if you are pressured to skip "quickly" or "now or everything is ruined", it is suspicious.
- Use reputable platforms
Before sending sats:
Check if the project is on Geyser.fund, Zaprite, BTCPayServer, or Tallycoin.
These platforms provide transparency, monitoring and protection.
If the project refuses to appear there "without valid reason", ask yourself questions.
- Always check the source
Ask yourself these questions:
- Who is leading this campaign?
- How long has this person been active in the community?
- Does their history hold a consistent profile?
- Are they well-known on Nostr, X, Telegram, or elsewhere?
A reliable project has nothing to hide. It is findable, traceable, and responsive.
- Don't rely on images or videos alone
A photo of a crying child or a dish being offered proves nothing. What you want to know:
- Did they take this photo?
- What's the connection to the campaign?
- Do they show several stages (preparation, distribution, follow-up)?
Scammers love beautiful stolen images, but never show the actual work.
- Request a follow-up report or evidence
A serious project can easily provide you with:
- A link to a dedicated Bitcoin address
- A video or photo with a personalized message
- A receipt or proof of purchase
If they refuse or get offended by you for asking? Run away.
- Share only verified projects
You are also responsible for what you share. By sharing a project without verifying:
- You're putting your credibility on the line.
- You risk causing others to lose sats.
Do your own research, even if you trust the person who sent you the link.
- Start small
You can test a project with a small amount and observe:
-
How they communicate after receiving it
-
If they thank you
- If they keep you informed
It's a simple way to filter out the good guys from the opportunists.
In a free ecosystem like Bitcoin, there's no customer service, no refunds, no "cancel" button. Your only security is your vigilance. Give, but give wisely.
How to intelligently support genuine causes
Supporting charitable projects with Bitcoin doesn't have to be risky. On the contrary, it can be a powerful tool for spreading the values of Bitcoin while genuinely helping people.
But for your help to have a real impact, it's not enough to just switch off and disappear. You have to be intelligently involved.
Here's how to become a helpful, strategic, and caring donor.
- Be part of the project, not just the donation
The best donors are not those who give the most, but those who:
- ask questions,
- suggest ideas,
- share campaigns,
- encourage the founder,
- inform others.
In Bitcoin, we talk about community, not customers. Be an agent of change, not just a transaction number.
- Favors projects with a long-term vision
A serious project speaks to you:
- education,
- sustainability,
- independence,
- integration of Bitcoin into local life.
He doesn't just give away rice or clothes. He wants to make people more autonomous, freer, and more connected to the decentralized economy.
Support projects that build, not just those that distribute.
- Diversify your support
You can :
- Skip small projects regularly
- Support a campaign with a fixed monthly budget
- Offer your skills: design, writing, video, networking
Participate in a DAO or a coordinated donations collective
Bitcoin support isn't just about money. Your time and talent are also valuable.
- Educate while you help
When you participate in a project, take the opportunity to:
- Explain to others how Bitcoin works
- Demonstrate the benefits of transparency through blockchain
- Raising awareness in your circle of the freedom offered by direct support in BTC
Education is the ultimate weapon against addiction and scams.
- Create or join a reliable initiative
You can :
- Create your own small campaign with Geyser.fund or Zaprite
- Join a collective like Hope With Bitcoin or other communities on Nostr
- Offer to document an existing campaign
This is how sustainable projects are born: not with large anonymous donations, but with small, well-supported flames.
Donating Bitcoin is more than just a transfer. It's an affirmation of values. It's a statement:
“I choose to support causes without going through banks, without permission, without borders, with transparency and freedom.”
But for it to work, you need:
-
Stay vigilant
-
Demand clarity
- Foster human connections
- Build trust
Bitcoin is a tool of sovereignty. It deserves honest projects. It's up to us to protect them.
Together, let's discover Hope With Bitcoin: The project whose mission is to share smiles and hope with those in need, while raising awareness for Bitcoin adoption.

Good morning, readers!
This week, we bring reports from Bangladesh, where the interim government instructed the central bank to halt the printing of old banknotes featuring Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding president of Bangladesh. This has induced a currency shortage, as new notes have yet to be issued to replace the discontinued ones. As a result, Bangladeshis find themselves holding worthless currency, facing increased costs, and feeling frustrated over such poor currency management. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, citizens are fleeing to gold as the local rupiah currency crashes to record lows amid increasing financial controls from the government.
In open-source news, LNbits, a Bitcoin and Lightning wallet management software, emerged from beta with its v1.0.0 release. LNbits works like a control panel on top of a Bitcoin wallet, letting users divide funds into separate accounts and use different features and functionalities. It is a handy tool for educators, civil society organizations, and communities who want to use Bitcoin for real-world transactions without needing advanced technical skills. We also spotlight a new tool called following .space that allows users to curate and share premade follow packs for nostr. The result is a more straightforward onboarding process for new users interested in censorship-resistant social media and the ability to curate feeds to better suit their interests.
We end with an interview with HRF Chief Strategy Officer Alex Gladstein, who explores his thinking behind the relationship between Bitcoin and human rights as we enter an age of increased corporate and nation-state adoption. He highlights the paradox where Bitcoin, a tool for individual financial freedom, is being adopted by institutions around the world, many of which regularly seek greater control over financial activity. We also include a new report from Bitcoin developer and past HRF grantee, b10c, who documents the current state of Bitcoin mining centralization and the threat it poses to decentralization and censorship resistance.
Now, let’s jump right in!

GLOBAL NEWS
Bangladesh | Currency Shortage as Central Bank Halts Printing of Banknotes
A state-induced cash crunch is paralyzing Bangladesh after the interim government, led by Muhammad Yunus, ordered the central bank to discontinue old banknotes featuring Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding president of Bangladesh. New cash is expected to be printed in phases beginning in May. But Bangladeshis report they are currently stuck with old and unusable currency, as the national mint has yet to issue replacement currency and lacks the capacity to print more than three notes at a time. Meanwhile, public ATMs continue to dispense old and worn-out banknotes, with merchants reluctantly accepting them and banks refusing to exchange them. Through all this, the central bank of Bangladesh sits on nearly 15,000 crore taka ($1.28 billion) worth of old notes in vaults, but the interim government has refused to release them, deepening public frustration.
Nigeria | Regulates Bitcoin as a Security
Nigerian lawmakers are moving to regulate digital assets as securities by passing the Investment and Securities Act (ISA) 2025. Rather than embrace it as a tool for financial freedom, the law places Bitcoin under the purview of the Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Companies must now register with the Nigerian SEC, implement more strict data-collection processes (to harvest personal information), and navigate a legal framework not designed for a borderless and permissionless technology like Bitcoin. The law further grants the SEC access to data from telecom and Internet providers to investigate “illegal market activity” — a provision that could easily be abused to surveil or intimidate Bitcoin users and developers. Nigeria routinely uses regulations to stifle the presence of open-source money, raising compliance hurdles, imposing taxes, and punishing digital asset companies. It’s not unreasonable to suspect this new classification could provide the state with a means to suppress the free adoption and innovation of Bitcoin.
Indonesia | Gold Rush Amid Economic Uncertainty
As the rupiah currency falls to record lows, Indonesians are flocking to gold in a rush to protect their savings. But gold isn’t the only safe haven. With 74% of Indonesia’s population unbanked or underbanked, digital tools like Bitcoin offer a more accessible alternative, especially when nearly 70% of Indonesians have Internet access. The Indonesian government is also tightening capital controls. A new policy forces exporters to keep all foreign currency earnings inside the country for a full year to trap dollars in the financial system. HRF grantee Bitcoin Indonesia is responding by helping people in the region (especially in nearby states like Burma) build financial resilience through meetups, workshops, and training focused on Bitcoin custody, privacy, and adoption. In an area where financial services remain out of reach for millions, learning how to save and transact permissionlessly is paramount.
Kenya | Introduces Legal Framework for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs)
Kenya’s government introduced a comprehensive legal framework to regulate Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) through its newly proposed 2025 VASP Bill. The legislation outlines strict licensing requirements for digital asset exchanges, wallet providers, brokers, and other digital asset firms. It functionally bars individuals from operating independently (think: open-source freedom tech builders) by mandating local incorporation, compliance with cybersecurity standards, and approval from financial regulators. This appears to be an attempt to formalize and better control the rapidly growing digital asset space. It could stifle grassroots innovation and limit access to financial tools that have become vital for activists and citizens seeking privacy and autonomy as economic policies and high inflation drive unrest.
El Salvador | Attorney General’s Office Preparing Arrest Warrants for Independent Journalists
El Faro, one of El Salvador’s most prominent investigative news outlets, shared reliable information that the Salvadoran Attorney General’s Office is preparing arrest warrants against three of its journalists. The warning came from El Faro director Carlos Dada, who suggests that the charges may include “apology for crimes” and “illicit association.” The alleged charges allegedly stem from El Faro’s latest reporting: a three-part video interview with former leaders of the 18th Street Revolucionarios gang that sheds light on Bukele’s “years-long relationship” with Salvadoran gangs. El Faro editor-in-chief Óscar Martínez said that any arrests or home raids following this news would be “for having done journalism.” With El Salvador’s shrinking civic space, this potential action against independent media would further restrict Salvadorans’ ability to access independent information and hold officials accountable.
BITCOIN AND FREEDOM TECH NEWS
LNbits | Emerges from Beta with v1.0.0 Release
LNbits, an open-source software tool that lets people create and manage Bitcoin Lightning wallets securely for themselves and for others, officially launched version 1.0.0, marking its transition out of beta and into a more stable release for public use. It works like a control panel sitting on top of a Bitcoin wallet, letting users divide funds into separate accounts and use different features and functionalities. LNbits is especially useful for educators, small businesses, and community organizers who want to use and manage Bitcoin for payments and savings. HRF is pleased to see this Bitcoin Development Fund (BDF) grantee strengthen the tools available to activists to achieve financial freedom in the face of censorship, surveillance, or inflation.
SeedSigner | Self-Custody Tool for Chinese Bitcoiners Facing Local Corruption
Chinese Bitcoin users are turning to SeedSigner, an open-source and fully customizable Bitcoin hardware wallet, as a more private way to protect their savings from law enforcement corruption. While many assume the primary threat to Bitcoin in China comes from top-down management and enforcement from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), new reports suggest greater concern over the police, who regularly monitor mail, detect hardware wallet purchases, and fabricate charges to extort Chinese users’ Bitcoin. SeedSigner solves this by allowing users to assemble a secure signing device from generic, inexpensive parts, avoiding the risk of shipping a branded wallet that might flag them as a target. When privacy violations begin at the local level, SeedSigner can help citizens safeguard their financial freedom by making secure self-custody discreet, accessible, and affordable.
Following .space | Create and Share Follow Packs on Nostr
Following.space is a new tool for nostr that solves one of the protocol’s biggest pain points: finding people worth following in the absence of an algorithm. Created by developer and HRF grantee Calle, the tool lets anyone build and share curated “follow packs” — pre-made lists of nostr users that can be easily distributed across the web. The lists are customizable and can be made based on shared interests, communities, organizations, regions, and more. This makes onboarding new users easier and allows users to curate their feeds to suit their interests. The result is a simple but powerful tool that helps nostr scale more organically by encouraging natural discovery. Enabling free expression and connections without reliance on centralized platforms strengthens human rights and financial freedom in repressive environments. Try it here.
256 Foundation | Releases Ember One Source Code
The 256 Foundation, an open-source Bitcoin mining initiative, released the source code of its new Ember One Bitcoin mining hashboard to the public. A Bitcoin hashboard is a device with multiple chips for performing Bitcoin mining computations. The open-source Ember One only consumes 100 Watts of total power and is modular by design, allowing user customization and the ability to mine discreetly even under autocratic regimes. This is important because it gives individuals a way to access and earn Bitcoin without drawing the attention of officials. For dissidents, mining at home means gaining more control over how they earn, spend, and store their money, all without relying on centralized systems at the whims of dictators.

Btrust, a nonprofit advancing Bitcoin development in Africa, awarded a grant to Africa Free Routing, a program within African Bitcoiners, to support five Bitcoin Lightning-focused developer boot camps across the continent in 2025. These bootcamps aim to onboard non-Bitcoin developers into the Bitcoin ecosystem, offering hands-on training, mentorship, and opportunities to contribute to open-source projects. This work strengthens the foundations of freedom tech in Africa, providing tools that allow people to resist financial repression under tyranny. Learn more about the partnership here.
Presidio Bitcoin | Hosting First Hackathon
Presidio Bitcoin, the Bay Area’s first dedicated freedom tech co-working and events space, just announced its first-ever hackathon, which will take place from May 16-17, 2025. This 24-hour hackathon in San Francisco brings together developers and technologists to build and collaborate at the frontier of Bitcoin, AI, and open-source technology. In addition to the hackathon, Presidio is launching a new program offering free three-month access to its workspace for Bitcoin open-source contributors. This is a valuable opportunity to connect with fellow developers, startup founders, and freedom tech advocates in the area. HRF is proud to sponsor this hackathon and is looking forward to how the outcomes might help create better freedom tools for dissidents worldwide. Learn more about the event here.

Bitcoin Nation State Adoption Paradox - Interview with Alex Gladstein
In a recent episode of the Bitcoin Fundamentals podcast, hosted by Preston Pysh, Alex Gladstein, HRF’s chief strategy officer, discusses the complexities of Bitcoin’s new era of adoption. He highlights the paradox where Bitcoin, a tool for individual financial freedom, is being adopted by governments, which some believe to be potentially compromising to its core principles. He emphasizes that while governments may adopt it for strategic or economic reasons, in doing so, they expose their populations to a technology that will ultimately weaken state control over money and advance individual liberty and human rights. Watch the full interview here.
Bitcoin Mining Centralization by b10c
In this report, Bitcoin developer and past HRF grantee b10c documents the growing trend of centralization in Bitcoin mining pools. It shows that over 95% of blocks are now mined by just six Bitcoin mining pools, with Foundry and AntPool controlling roughly 60–70% of the hashrate (the computing power dedicated to the Bitcoin network). This marks a rise in mining pool centralization in recent years. While this hasn’t harmed Bitcoin’s censorship resistance yet, it reduces the number of block template producers. This concentration of template producers poses a potential risk to Bitcoin’s neutrality, which is essential for ensuring access to uncensorable money and protecting human rights in autocratic regimes. HRF has happily supported both Hashpool and Public Pool with recent grants to support smaller, independent pools that help preserve Bitcoin's decentralization. Read the full report here.

This is the 2nd article I've written regarding my thoughts around the nostr health and fitness ecosystem and how something like NIP101h could play a part in enabling an ecosystem of highly specialized apps benefiting from nostr inherent interoperability. I've posted the last article on Wikistr and have continued experimenting with the NIP in a couple of clients. Recently I've been focused on extending the NIP to include calories and workout intensity.
Caloric Data
Let's talk about calories for a minute. Seems simple, right? You burn some, you consume some. But as I started implementing kind 1357 for caloric data, I quickly realized this was too simplistic.
The reality is tracking calories burned through a 10K run is fundamentally different from logging the calories in your morning avocado toast. Different contexts, different metadata, different user flows. Trying to cram both into one kind felt like forcing a square peg through a round hole.
So I split them: - Kind 1357: Calories expended (your run, your workout, even just existing) - Kind 2357: Calories consumed (your meals, snacks, that beer you "forgot" to log)
This wasn't just a technical decision. It reflects how people actually think about and track their health. Nobody mentally lumps "I burned 350 calories on my run" with "I ate a 650 calorie lunch" as the same type of data point. They're related but distinct.
Workout Intensity
Speaking of workouts, RUNSTR has been sending workout data for a while now, but workout intensity (kind 1356) is something I've been particularly excited about.
Why? Because intensity is the secret sauce that makes fitness data meaningful. Two people can run the same distance, but one might be casually jogging while catching up on podcasts, and another might be doing high-intensity intervals that leave them gasping for air.
Same distance, totally different physiological impacts.
Intensity gives context to duration. It turns "I worked out for 45 minutes" into a meaningful metric about how hard you pushed. And this isn't just for the fitness obsessed—it's essential for things like heart rate zone training, progressive overload, and recovery monitoring.
The Bigger Vision: Why I'm Building This
I'm not building NIP-101h because I think the world needs another fitness standard. God knows there are plenty already. I'm building it because I believe health data belongs to people, not platforms.
Right now, your Apple Health data lives in Apple's ecosystem. Your Fitbit data lives in Fitbit's walled garden. Your Strava data? Yep, siloed there too. These companies have built incredible products, but they've also created digital gulags.
Nostr gives us a chance to flip the script. What if your health data lived on the internet rather than the platform? What if you could: - Track your runs in RUNSTR - Encrypt sensitive data - Store data in relays or blossom servers - Use the data across an open ecosystem of interoperable apps
...all without asking permission from some corporate overlord?
That's pretty much the vision. I've also spun up HealthNote Relay to support some of the new NIPs and Kinds while I continue to flesh out NIP-101h.
The Power of Specialization
One thing I've realized is that the real magic happens when we get specific. A diabetes management app needs different data structures than a strength training app. But they both benefit from a common language for the overlap.
So I'm intentionally designing the NIP-101h series as a collection of highly specialized kinds rather than a monolithic standard. This lets developers pick and choose exactly what they need, while still ensuring interoperability where it matters.
Take our calorie example—by splitting into two kinds, we allow for specialized nutrition tracking apps that might never care about workout calories, while still ensuring they can talk to fitness apps when needed.
What's Coming Next
I've got a growing list of kinds I want to tackle: - Sleep data (duration, quality, phases) - Strength training specifics (sets, reps, weight) - Hydration tracking - Mental health metrics
But I'm equally excited to see what others build. Maybe someone will create specialized kinds for pregnancy tracking, or chronic illness management, or physical therapy progress.
That's the beauty of this approach—I don't need to anticipate every use case. The framework lets the community evolve it organically.
Join the Health Data Revolution
If you're a developer interested in health and fitness on Nostr, I'd love to hear from you. What kinds would help your use case? What are you building? What am I missing?
And if you're just a Nostr user who cares about your health data, check out RUNSTR (Alpha) or Npub.health (super alpha) to see what we're building.
You can find information the specification here NIP 101h.
See you in volume three, where I'll dig into NIP101h format details and share what I've learned from the early experiments.
Lets Go!

Money has always been more than a medium of exchange. It reflects what societies value, how they organize trust, and what they choose to remember. This article explores the idea that money functions as a form of collective memory, and how Bitcoin may be restoring this role in a new way.
The Asante Example
In the Asante Empire, which flourished in West Africa during the 18th and 19th centuries, gold dust served as the primary medium of exchange. To measure it, traders used ornate spoons made of brass. These spoons were often carved with birds, animals, or abstract symbols. They were not currency themselves, but tools used to handle gold dust accurately.
Importantly, these spoons also carried meaning. Symbols and proverbs embedded in the spoons conveyed lessons about honesty, community, and continuity. For example, the Sankofa bird, shown turning its head backward to retrieve an egg from its back, represented the proverb, “It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.” This was a reminder to learn from the past.
The spoons reflect an understanding that money and its instruments are not just practical tools. They are cultural artifacts that store shared values. In the Asante context, even measurement was ritualized and tied to ethics and memory.
Money as a Cultural Medium
This connection between money and cultural meaning is not unique to the Asante Empire. Modern fiat currencies also carry symbols, phrases, and designs that reflect national identity and political values.
The U.S. dollar includes Latin phrases and national symbols meant to convey stability and purpose. The British pound features royal iconography, reinforcing the idea of continuity and sovereignty. When the euro was introduced, it deliberately avoided specific national references. Itsdesign used bridges and windowsto suggest openness and cooperation across the continent.
These design choices show that societies still embed meaning into their money. Even in a digital or fiat context, money is used to transmit a story about who we are, where authority lies, and what we value.
The Fragility of Fiat Memory
While fiat money carries cultural symbols, the narratives behind those symbols can be fragile.
In 2021, the central bank of the Philippines removed democratic leaders from its banknotes,triggering public criticism. In the United States, attempts to replace Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman on the $20 billfaced repeated delays. These examples show how political control over money includes control over what stories are told and remembered.
Unlike objects passed down through generations, fiat memory can be edited or erased. In this sense, it is vulnerable. The meaning encoded in fiat systems can shift depending on who holds power.
Bitcoin as a New Form of Memory
Bitcoin is described as digital money. But it also introduces a different model of how societies can record value and preserve meaning.
The Bitcoin network launched in 2009 with a small message embedded in its first block: “Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.” This was a reference to a newspaper headline that day and a clear sign of protest against financial bailouts, centralized monetary policy, and forever wars.
This moment marked the beginning of a system where memory is stored differently. Instead of relying on governments or institutions, Bitcoin stores its history on a public ledger maintained by a decentralized network of participants. Its memory is not symbolic or political; it is structural. Every transaction, every block, is preserved through time-stamped computation and consensus.
No single authority can change it. The rules are clear and publicly auditable. In this way, Bitcoin offers a version of money where memory is both neutral and resilient.
Cultural Expression and Community Values
Even though Bitcoin lacks the traditional symbols found on banknotes, it has developed its own culture. Phrases like “Don’t trust, verify” or “Stay humble, stack sats” are shared widely in the Bitcoin community. These ideas reflect a focus on self-responsibility, verification, and long-term thinking.
These proverbs can be compared to the carved messages on the Asante spoons. While the contexts are very different, the underlying idea is similar: a community using language and symbols to reinforce its shared values.
Bitcoin also has a well established and growing art scene. Bitcoin conferences often feature dedicated sections for art inspired by the protocol and its culture. Statues of Satoshi Nakamoto have been installed in cities like Budapest, Lugano, and Fornelli. These physical works reflect the desire to link Bitcoin’s abstract values to something tangible.
Looking Back to Look Forward
The Asante example helps us see that money has long been tied to memory and meaning. Their spoons were practical tools but also cultural anchors. Bitcoin, while new and digital, may be playing a similar role.
Instead of relying on political symbols or national myths, Bitcoin uses code, transparency, and global consensus to create trust. In doing so, it offers a way to preserve economic memory that does not depend on power or politics.
It’s still early to know what kind of legacy Bitcoin will leave. But if it succeeds, it may not just change how money works. It may also change how civilizations remember.

Three New U.S. State-Level Bitcoin Bills Signed Into LawThis week, three U.S. states have enacted bitcoin-related bills into law.
On Tuesday, New Hampshire became the first state to sign into law a bill that would allow for the creation of a strategic bitcoin reserve (SBR).
On Wednesday, Arizona enacted its second bill related to bitcoin, blockchain, and digital assets.
Also on Wednesday, Oregon’s governor signed a bill into law that updates the state’s commercial code to have it recognize digital assets such as bitcoin as collateral.
New Hampshire Can Now Establish An SBR
On Tuesday, New Hampshire signed HB302 into law, making it the first state in U.S. history with the legal footing to create an SBR.
New Hampshire is once again First in the Nation!

— Governor Kelly Ayotte (@KellyAyotte) May 6, 2025
The new law enables the state treasurer to invest in digital assets that have a market cap of over $500 billion. (Bitcoin is the only digital asset that currently meets this criteria.)
While the law doesn’t specifically call for the creation of an SBR, it does enable the state’s treasurer to create one.
This historic law was enacted thanks in part to the efforts of Rep. Keith Ammon, the primary sponsor for this bitcoin-related bill as well as others currently working their way through New Hampshire’s state legislature.
The enactment of this new law came on the heels of Arizona almost enacting a similar bill into law.
Arizona Governor Vetoes One Bitcoin Bill But Signs Another
On May 2, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed SB1025, which would have enabled the state treasurer and retirement system to invest 10% of their available funds into virtual currencies.
The text in the bill stated that the bill may be cited as the “Arizona Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act” and it stipulated that the term virtual currency refers to “a digital representation of value that functions as a medium of exchange, a unit of account and a store of value other than a representation of the United States dollar or a foreign currency.”
Many were quick to highlight that Governor Hobbs’ vetoing of this bill was a political misstep.

— Jameson Lopp (@lopp) May 3, 2025
The message may have reached Governor Hobbs, as, yesterday, she signed HB2749, a bill that also establishes a state-level digital assets reserve, into law.
HB2749 amends existing state statutes on unclaimed financial property to enable the state to claim bitcoin or other digital assets that have been “abandoned” or “unclaimed” after three years.
As per this new law, Arizona will consider digital assets abandoned or unclaimed when the owner of the digital assets has not electronically accessed a digital assets account, conducted transactions in a digital assets account, and/or acted on any related account held by the same owner.
The unclaimed bitcoin and other digital assets that the state collects can be moved into a reserve.
This is the second bitcoin-related bill Governor Hobbs signed in recent weeks.
She also signed HB2342 into law on April 18.
This new law stipulates that counties may not prohibit individuals from lawfully accessing or using computational power or from running a blockchain node in a residence.
New Oregon Law Recognizes Bitcoin As Collateral
Yesterday, Oregon’s Governor Tina Kotek signed SB167 into law.
The new law updates Oregon’s Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) to incorporate digital assets.
The new law amends Article 9 of the UCC, allowing digital assets such as bitcoin to be used as collateral for mortgage payments, for example.
It also introduces Article 12 to the UCC, which serves to establish a legal framework for “controllable electronic records,” which include cryptocurrencies and tokenized records.
The new law sets the groundwork for bitcoin and other digital assets to be used within traditional financial products in Oregon.
Picking Up The Pace
Before this week, only three other bitcoin-related bills had been enacted into law.
These include the following:
- Utah’s HB0230, which was signed by Utah’s governor on March 12 and which established definitions and a regulatory framework for digital assets
- Kentucky’s HB701, which was signed by Kentucky’s governor on March 24 and which provided definitions and protections for individuals and businesses engaging with digital assets
- Arizona’s HB2342, which I discussed earlier in this piece
If the activity we saw this week is any indication of what is to come, we may see much more proposed Bitcoin legislation codified into law in the coming weeks and months.

Arizona Becomes Second State to Establish Strategic Bitcoin ReserveArizona has made history by becoming the second state in the U.S. to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. On Thursday, Governor Katie Hobbs signed House Bill 2749 into law, officially launching the Arizona Bitcoin & Digital Assets Reserve, a pioneering move that channels profits from unclaimed property into Bitcoin and other top-tier digital assets.
JUST IN:
Arizona enacts new law to establish a Strategic #Bitcoin Reserve. pic.twitter.com/QiljmKTtDx— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) May 8, 2025
The bill outlines several key features:
-
Redirection of unclaimed-property profits toward Bitcoin and other digital assets
-
Use of interest, staking rewards, and airdrops from abandoned property to fund strategic acquisitions
-
Strong diversification rules, ensuring Bitcoin supplements — but doesn’t dominate — Arizona’s investment portfolio
-
Mandated U.S.-regulated custody for the assets
-
Clear implementation steps that allow the state to begin purchasing digital assets and “stacking sats”
-
Native Bitcoin redemption, which means lost Bitcoin can be returned in BTC rather than U.S. dollars
The law positions Arizona alongside New Hampshire in transforming idle state assets into potentially appreciating stores of value. By putting otherwise unused funds to work, the state is taking a strategic, forward-looking approach to safeguard its treasury without raising taxes or using the general fund.
“Arizona just showed the country how to turn forgotten assets into a fortress against inflation,” said Dennis Porter, CEO and Co-Founder of the Satoshi Action Fund, a key advocate for the bill. “With HB 2749, lawmakers converted dormant dollars into digital gold — without touching the taxpayer’s pocket. It’s a win for fiscal responsibility and for every Arizonan who believes in sound money.”
Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase also played a role by offering expert testimony that helped propel the bill through legislative hurdles, according to Satoshi Action Fund. Their involvement gave lawmakers a clearer understanding of the financial and technological implications of Bitcoin-based reserves.

Representative Jeff Weninger (R-Chandler), the bill’s sponsor, was credited with tirelessly shepherding the legislation from its early draft stages through multiple committee hearings, stakeholder meetings, and floor votes, ultimately securing bipartisan support and ensuring its successful passage into law.
“Digital assets aren’t the future—they’re the present,” said Weninger. “This law ensures Arizona doesn’t leave value sitting on the table and puts us in a position to lead the country in how we secure, manage, and ultimately benefit from abandoned digital currency. We’ve built a structure that protects property rights, respects ownership, and gives the state tools to account for a new category of value in the economy. It’s exactly the kind of policy we should be leading on—modern, precise, and built with an understanding of where technology and finance are heading.”
The Satoshi Action Fund, which helped draft and advocate for HB 2749, has become a leading voice in Bitcoin policy. To date, the organization has contributed to the passage of eight pro-Bitcoin laws and inspired more than 20 additional legislative efforts across the country.

งาน Bitcoin++ ประจำปี 2025 ที่จัดขึ้นที่เมืองออสติน รัฐเท็กซัส เป็นการรวมตัวของนักพัฒนา Bitcoin ที่เจาะลึกในประเด็นทางเทคนิค โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งเรื่อง Mempool, Transaction Relay และ Mining Pools หัวข้อเหล่านี้ถูกเน้นย้ำว่าเป็นหัวข้อที่น่าสนใจและเป็นที่ถกเถียงกัน เป้าหมายหลักของงานคือเพื่อให้เหล่านักพัฒนาและผู้สร้างสรรค์ได้แบ่งปันสิ่งที่พวกเขากำลังทำอยู่ เรียนรู้เกี่ยวกับความท้าทายในการนำ Transaction เข้าสู่ Block และการปรับปรุง Bitcoin รวมถึงส่งเสริมการเติบโตของชุมชน Open-Source
งานในปีนี้เป็นครั้งแรกที่มุ่งเน้นไปที่ Mempool และ Transaction Relay โดยเฉพาะ ซึ่งเกี่ยวข้องโดยตรงกับการสร้าง Block Mempool ถูกมองว่าเป็นพื้นที่ส่วนรวม (commons) และเป็นตลาดประมูลที่เสรีและเปิดกว้างที่สุดแห่งหนึ่งของโลก ที่ซึ่งใครก็ตามที่เป็นเจ้าของ Bitcoin สามารถเสนอราคา (ค่าธรรมเนียม) และใครก็ตามที่ขุด Bitcoin ก็สามารถยอมรับราคานั้นและนำ Transaction เข้า Block ได้ แม้ว่ากระบวนการนี้จะมีความท้าทายและบางครั้งก็เป็นที่ถกเถียงกัน แต่ Bitcoin ยังคงทำงานเป็นระบบแบบอนาธิปไตย (anarchic system) ที่การพัฒนาเกิดขึ้นในลักษณะกระจายศูนย์
ประเด็นร้อน: OP_RETURN และการถกเถียงเรื่อง Data Carrier
หนึ่งในประเด็นหลักที่ถูกกล่าวถึงและมีการจัดดีเบตแบบ Oxford-style คือเรื่องขีดจำกัดของ Data Carrier ใน OP_RETURN โดยเฉพาะการถกเถียงเรื่องการปลดขีดจำกัดค่าเริ่มต้นใน Bitcoin Core การถกเถียงนี้สะท้อนให้เห็นถึงความตึงเครียดระหว่างกลุ่มที่เรียกว่า "Monetary Maximalists" ซึ่งต้องการให้ Bitcoin เป็นเงินที่ดีที่สุด กับกลุ่ม "Platform Maximalists" ที่ต้องการให้ Bitcoin สามารถทำสิ่งต่างๆ ที่ไม่เกี่ยวข้องกับเงินได้มากขึ้น เช่น การออก Token บน Bitcoin
ฝ่ายที่สนับสนุนการปลดขีดจำกัดแย้งว่ามันเป็นปัญหาทางเทคนิคที่ไม่มีวิธีที่มีหลักการในการป้องกันอย่างแท้จริงในระดับ Consensus การพยายามใช้ Filter ใน Mempool เพื่อป้องกันนั้นไม่สามารถทำได้อย่างสมบูรณ์ และผู้ใช้สามารถหาวิธีหลีกเลี่ยงได้ การปลดขีดจำกัดอาจช่วยลดการสร้าง UTXO ที่ใช้ไม่ได้ (unspendable UTXOs) ซึ่งเป็นสิ่งที่แย่กว่า OP_RETURN และจะช่วยประหยัดเวลาของนักพัฒนาจากการโต้เถียงในเรื่องเล็กๆ น้อยๆ
ขณะที่ฝ่ายคัดค้านการปลดขีดจำกัดยืนยันว่า Filter ใน Mempool ทำงานได้ผลในการยับยั้งการใช้ OP_RETURN สำหรับข้อมูลที่ไม่ใช่ทางการเงิน และการปลดขีดจำกัดจะเป็นการทำลาย Filter ที่มีอยู่ พวกเขาแย้งว่า Bitcoin ถูกออกแบบมาให้เป็นระบบการเงิน ไม่ใช่ฐานข้อมูลสำหรับเก็บข้อมูลตามอำเภอใจ การอนุญาตให้เก็บข้อมูลที่ไม่ใช่ทางการเงินจำนวนมากจะทำให้ Transaction ของผู้ใช้ทั่วไปมีค่าใช้จ่ายสูงขึ้น และเป็นการ "ขาย Bitcoin ให้กับผู้ที่เสนอราคาสูงสุด" ซึ่งอาจนำไปสู่การบ่อนทำลายโดยผู้ที่ควบคุมระบบการเงินแบบเก่า พวกเขายืนยันว่า Bitcoin ควรเน้นการเป็นเงิน และการเปลี่ยนแปลงที่ไม่จำเป็นซึ่งทำลาย Filter ที่ทำงานอยู่จะทำให้ความไว้วางใจใน Bitcoin Core ลดลง นอกจากนี้ยังมีการพูดถึงทางเลือกในการใช้ Filter ในระดับ Node เช่นที่ implement ใน Bitcoin Knots
ความรวมศูนย์ในการขุดและการกระจายศูนย์
ปัญหาความรวมศูนย์ใน Mining Pool เป็นอีกหัวข้อที่มีการหารืออย่างกว้างขวาง โดยเฉพาะเรื่องความหลากหลายของ Block Template เครื่องมืออย่าง stratum.work ถูกสร้างขึ้นมาเพื่อช่วยให้ผู้สังเกตการณ์สามารถเปรียบเทียบ Block Template จาก Pool ต่างๆ ได้ ข้อมูลแสดงให้เห็นว่า Antpool และ Pool ที่เป็น "เพื่อน" (Antpool and friends) รวมถึง Foundry มีส่วนแบ่ง Hash Rate รวมกันค่อนข้างสูง ซึ่งทำให้เกิดความกังวลเกี่ยวกับความรวมศูนย์ ปัญหาดังกล่าวถูกมองว่าเป็นปัญหาเชิงเศรษฐศาสตร์และแรงจูงใจ มากกว่าปัญหาทางเทคนิคล้วนๆ
ทางออกในการกระจายศูนย์การขุดและการสร้าง Block Template ถูกนำเสนอ โดยเฉพาะโปรโตคอล Datam ที่พัฒนาโดย Ocean Mining Datam ถูกออกแบบมาเพื่อการขุดแบบกระจายศูนย์โดยเฉพาะ โดย กำหนดให้ Miner ต้องรัน Node ของตัวเองเพื่อสร้าง Block Template ซึ่งแตกต่างจาก Stratum V2 ที่ยังคงมีการใช้งานแบบรวมศูนย์อยู่ Datam Gateway ทำหน้าที่เป็นตัวเชื่อมระหว่าง Miner กับ Pool โดยใช้ Stratum V1 แต่ Miner เป็นผู้สร้าง Block Template เอง โปรโตคอล Datam นั้นเรียบง่าย ใช้ภาษา C เพื่อให้มีขนาดเล็กและมีประสิทธิภาพสูง สามารถทำงานบน Raspberry Pi ได้ และมีการเข้ารหัสระหว่าง Pool กับ Gateway การสร้าง Datam ขึ้นมาใหม่จากศูนย์เป็นเพราะไม่มีโปรโตคอลหรือซอฟต์แวร์ Pool เดิมที่ตอบโจทย์การกระจายศูนย์ได้อย่างสมบูรณ์
การแก้ไข Bug ใน Consensus (Consensus Cleanup)
มีการนำเสนอ BIP 54 หรือ Great Consensus Cleanup ซึ่งเป็นข้อเสนอ Soft Fork เพื่อแก้ไข Bug เล็กน้อยในกฎ Consensus ของ Bitcoin จุดประสงค์ไม่ใช่การเปลี่ยนแปลงคุณค่าหลักของ Bitcoin แต่เป็นการแก้ไข Bug ที่สามารถทำได้ผ่าน Soft Fork Bug เหล่านี้รวมถึงปัญหาที่อาจนำไปสู่การมี Transaction ID (TXID) ของ Coinbase ซ้ำกันในอนาคตสำหรับ Block ที่เกิดขึ้นก่อน BIP 34 การแก้ไขใน BIP 54 เกี่ยวข้องกับการใช้ Time Locking และการกำหนดค่า End Sequence ใน Coinbase Transaction เพื่อป้องกันปัญหานี้ ข้อเสนอนี้ถูกพัฒนาขึ้นโดย Antoine Riard และมีการหารืออย่างละเอียด
ความปลอดภัยทางควอนตัมในอนาคต
ประเด็นเรื่องความปลอดภัยทางควอนตัมของ Bitcoin ก็ถูกหยิบยกขึ้นมาพูดคุย แม้จะดูเป็นปัญหาที่ไกลตัว แต่ก็เป็นสิ่งสำคัญที่จะต้องมีแผนรองรับ BIP 360 ถูกนำเสนอเป็นข้อเสนอ Soft Fork ทางเลือก (Opt-in soft fork) เพื่อเพิ่มความปลอดภัยทางควอนตัมให้กับ Bitcoin ปัญหาหลักคือผู้ใช้จะต้องเปิดเผย Public Key และ Signature เมื่อใช้จ่าย Transaction และคอมพิวเตอร์ควอนตัมอาจสามารถคำนวณ Private Key จาก Public Key ได้ BIP 360 เสนอให้เพิ่มข้อมูล Public Key และ Signature ที่ผ่านการป้องกันควอนตัมเข้าไปใน Transaction โดยรองรับ Taproot อย่างไรก็ตาม Multisig บางประเภท เช่น P2SH หรือ P2WSH อาจให้การป้องกันได้ดีกว่า เนื่องจากผู้โจมตีจะต้องหา Private Key หลายตัว ในขณะที่ Key Path Spend ของ Taproot อาจไม่ช่วยป้องกันปัญหานี้ BIP 360 ยังกำหนดให้มี Public Key ที่ป้องกันควอนตัมเพียงตัวเดียวเพื่อหลีกเลี่ยงความกำกวมของที่อยู่ Taproot
นวัตกรรมและกรณีใช้งานอื่นๆ
นอกจากนี้ยังมีการกล่าวถึงโครงการอื่นๆ ที่น่าสนใจ เช่น Maple AI ที่มุ่งมั่นสร้าง AI ที่ไม่ใช่แบบรวมศูนย์ และ Open Secret ซึ่งเป็น Framework สำหรับนักพัฒนาในการให้ผู้ใช้สามารถ Self-Custody ข้อมูลของตนเองได้ แนวคิดนี้คล้ายกับการ Self-Custody Bitcoin ใน Wallet โดยมองว่าการถือข้อมูลผู้ใช้เป็นภาระความเสี่ยงสำหรับนักพัฒนา
มีการพูดถึงแนวโน้มที่ผู้เล่นในระบบการเงินแบบเก่าอย่าง Visa และ Stripe กำลังพยายามเข้าสู่พื้นที่ Digital Currency โดยอาจใช้การ Tokenize Credit Card รวมถึงบทบาทที่อาจเกิดขึ้นของ AI Agents ซึ่งอาจเริ่มใช้ Bitcoin หรือ Lightning Network ในการชำระเงินในอนาคต มีการคาดการณ์ว่า AI Agents อาจทำธุรกรรมผ่าน Lightning Network ได้ในระดับที่สูงกว่าการใช้งานของมนุษย์อย่างรวดเร็ว โดยมีการพัฒนาโปรโตคอลอย่าง X402 และ Fusats เพื่อรองรับการชำระเงินสำหรับ Agents โดยเปิดโอกาสให้ Agents เลือกใช้สกุลเงินดิจิทัลที่ดีที่สุดในตลาดเสรี
สุดท้าย งาน Bitcoin++ เน้นย้ำถึงความสำคัญของการประชุมและการรวมตัวกันของนักพัฒนาเพื่อหารือ ประสานงาน และแบ่งปันไอเดีย โดยเฉพาะในประเด็นที่ต้องอาศัยความร่วมมือและการแก้ปัญหาที่ซับซ้อน

There are so many projects in the bitcoin space that deserve praise but I just wanna shout out Cashu.me. Its a browser based cashu (eCash / Lighting) wallet. It can be very handy when you need a wallet but don't wanna download yet another app. I hadn't used it in a very long time and decided to try it out again the other day. Its really well done.
As with other Cashu wallets you need to select a mint and backup your key phrase but it is very simple the get started.
If you wanna learn more about Cashu check out Cashu.space
Two other good wallets that support Cashu.

Introduction: The Challenge of Bitcoin-Secured Loans
Bitcoin holders often face a dilemma: they need liquidity but don't want to sell their assets, potentially missing out on future gains or triggering taxable events. Bitcoin-secured loans offer a solution, allowing users to borrow cash (like digital dollars) using their Bitcoin as collateral. However, the current landscape is fraught with challenges. Many existing solutions require users to trust centralized entities or involve complex mechanisms like wrapping Bitcoin, exposing them to significant risks:
- Custodial Risk: Handing over your Bitcoin to a third party means trusting they won't lose it, misuse it, or become insolvent. Billions have been lost this way.
- Smart Contract Risk: Platforms built on chains like Ethereum rely on complex smart contracts, which can contain bugs or vulnerabilities exploitable by hackers.
- Oracle Risk: Loan systems need reliable price feeds (oracles) to manage collateral. Centralized or manipulatable oracles can lead to unfair liquidations.
- Privacy Risk: Loan details and transactions are often publicly visible on the blockchain.
- Complexity and Cost: Existing processes can be slow, require extensive documentation, and involve high fees.
There's a clear need for a better way – one that is simple, reliable, and minimizes trust. This is where the Lava Loans Protocol comes in.
What is Lava Loans?
In simple terms, Lava Loans provides a way to borrow digital dollars using your native Bitcoin as collateral, directly from your own vault. It's designed to be:
- Simple & Fast: Get a loan in seconds with minimal questions asked.
- Low-Cost & Flexible: Offers competitive rates, dynamic fee structures, and allows borrowing any amount.
- Reliable & Trust-Minimized: Leverages Bitcoin's own capabilities to reduce reliance on intermediaries and enhance security.
How Lava Loans Addresses the Risks
Lava tackles the common pitfalls of crypto loans head-on:
- Eliminating Custodial Risk: Instead of transferring your Bitcoin to a custodian or wrapping it, Lava uses native Bitcoin locked directly on the Bitcoin network within a special type of contract. This prevents rehypothecation and loss through hacks or confiscation.
- Minimizing Smart Contract Risk: Lava utilizes Bitcoin smart contracts, also known as Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs). These are designed to be less complex and more secure than many general-purpose smart contracts, with outcomes pre-defined and formally verified.
- Reducing Oracle Risk: Users choose their own off-chain, blinded oracles (called Sibyls) for price data, with enhanced redundancy to ensure reliability. Off-chain attestations avoid high fees and miner manipulation risks associated with on-chain oracles. Blinded oracles provide price data without knowing the specific contract they influence, preventing targeted attacks.
- Enhancing Privacy: Because DLCs operate differently from typical public smart contracts, the details of the loan contract are not broadcast publicly on the Bitcoin blockchain.
- Trustless Initiation & Repayment: Atomic swaps ensure that collateral only moves to the contract once the loan is received, and collateral is automatically returned upon verified repayment.
The Magic Ingredients: DLCs and Sibyls Oracles
Two core technologies make Lava Loans unique:
-
Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs): Think of a DLC as a pre-programmed Bitcoin transaction agreed upon by the borrower and lender. Before the loan starts, they define all possible outcomes (e.g., repayment, liquidation at a specific price, expiry) and create encrypted signatures for each. The Bitcoin collateral is locked in a multisig output controlled by these pre-signed transactions. Only the conditions agreed upon (verified by oracle signatures) can unlock the funds according to the pre-defined rules. This offers:
- Security: Formally verified, pre-defined outcomes minimize bug risk.
- Privacy: Contract details remain off-chain.
- Scalability: Minimal on-chain footprint as execution logic is off-chain.
- Customization: Users can choose their own oracles and LTV thresholds.
-
Sibyls Oracles: These are the independent price feed providers for Lava. Key characteristics include:
- Off-Chain: Attestations happen off-chain, avoiding blockchain fees and manipulation.
- User-Chosen: Borrowers select the oracles they trust for each loan.
- Blinded: Oracles provide signed price data without knowing the specific DLC it applies to, enhancing security.
- Redundant: Multiple oracles can be configured to provide fallback price feeds, reducing the risk of oracle failure.
System Overview
Here's a high-level look at the components involved in the Lava Loans ecosystem:
[ Borrower ] --(locks Bitcoin)--> [ DLC Contract (Bitcoin) ] [ Lender ] --(sends stablecoins)--> [ Alt-Chain Contract (Solana) ] [ Oracles ] --(provides price)--> [ DLC Contract (Bitcoin) ] [ Borrower ] --(repays loan)--> [ Alt-Chain Contract (Solana) ] [ Lender ] --(claims collateral)--> [ DLC Contract (Bitcoin) ]The Lava Loan Lifecycle
A loan progresses through several states:
- Initialized: A trustless atomic swap occurs. The borrower locks Bitcoin collateral into the DLC on the Bitcoin network, and the lender locks the loan capital (e.g., digital dollars on a network like Solana using HTLCs) which the borrower then claims.
- Active: The collateral is secured in the DLC, and the borrower has the loan capital. The Lava Protocol monitors the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio using price data from the chosen Sibyls oracles, with customizable LTV thresholds for greater flexibility.
- Terminated: The loan concludes in one of several ways:
- Repaid: The borrower repays the loan capital plus interest on the loan asset network, with dynamic fees adjusting based on network conditions. Upon verification, the DLC automatically releases the Bitcoin collateral back to the borrower.
- Liquidated: If the Bitcoin price drops and the LTV reaches a pre-determined threshold (now more flexible to avoid premature liquidations), the DLC automatically releases the collateral to the lender.
- Expired: If the loan term ends before repayment, the DLC releases an amount equivalent to the principal plus interest to the lender, and the remaining collateral is returned to the borrower.
- Fail-safe: In rare cases of unresponsive oracles, redundant Sibyls oracles and built-in mechanisms ensure collateral is not permanently lost.
Loan Process Sequence
The following diagram illustrates the typical sequence of events in a Lava Loan:
1. Borrower --> DLC: Create loan contract with collateral 2. Lender --> Alt-Chain: Fund loan with stablecoins 3. Borrower --> Alt-Chain: Receive and use stablecoins 4. (If repayment) 4a. Borrower --> Alt-Chain: Repay loan 4b. Lender --> Alt-Chain: Confirm repayment 4c. Borrower --> DLC: Claim collateral 5. (If liquidation) 5a. Oracle --> DLC: Provide price attestation 5b. Lender --> DLC: Claim collateral 6. (If expiry) 6a. Borrower/Lender --> DLC: Split collateralLava Loans vs. Other Bitcoin Lending Platforms: A Quick Comparison
How does Lava stack up against typical DeFi lending protocols and other Bitcoin lending platforms like Unchained, Strike, and Coinbase?
| Feature | Lava Loans (Bitcoin) | Typical Ethereum DeFi | Unchained | Strike | Coinbase | | :------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------- | | Collateral | Native Bitcoin | Often Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) or other assets | Native Bitcoin | Native Bitcoin | Native Bitcoin | | Contract Type | Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs) - Pre-agreed, Private | Smart Contracts - Public, Complex, Run on EVM | 2/3 Multisig Vaults | Custodial Contracts | Custodial Contracts | | Security | Aims for higher security via simpler, pre-set DLCs | Can be complex, potential for bugs/exploits | Secure via multisig, but relies on key holders | Custodial, less transparent | Custodial, less transparent | | Privacy | Higher privacy (contract details off-chain) | Lower privacy (contract interactions often public) | Moderate privacy (multisig details on-chain) | Lower privacy (custodial model) | Lower privacy (custodial model) | | Oracles | User-chosen, Off-chain, Blinded (Sibyls) | Often On-chain, potentially manipulatable | Not applicable (manual monitoring) | Centralized oracles | Centralized oracles | | Trust | Designed to minimize trust in intermediaries | Often requires trust in custodians, bridges, or protocols | Moderate trust (key holders could collude) | Higher trust (custodial, opaque practices) | Higher trust (custodial, opaque practices) | | Rehypothecation | No rehypothecation, verifiable on-chain via DLCs | Possible, depends on protocol | No rehypothecation, secured by multisig | Opaque, likely rehypothecated | Opaque, likely rehypothecated | | Interest Rates | Competitive, typically lower due to non-custodial model | Varies, often 5-10% for wBTC loans | 11-14% for non-rehypothecated loans | 12-13% (implies rehypothecation) | ~5-6% (implies rehypothecation) |
Lava leverages Bitcoin’s native capabilities and a specific oracle design to prioritize security, privacy, and trust minimization. Unlike Unchained, which uses a 2/3 multisig where two key holders could potentially collude, Lava’s DLCs ensure cryptographic proof of non-rehypothecation, verifiable on-chain in real time. Strike and Coinbase, being custodial, lack transparency about rehypothecation practices, with market rates suggesting they rehypothecate collateral. The v3 protocol introduces dynamic fee adjustments and more flexible LTV thresholds, reducing premature liquidations and optimizing costs based on network conditions.
Conclusion
Lava Loans presents a compelling option for those seeking liquidity against their Bitcoin holdings without sacrificing security or control. By utilizing Discreet Log Contracts, a user-centric, blinded oracle system (Sibyls) with enhanced redundancy, and new features like dynamic fees and flexible LTV thresholds, Lava provides a simple, reliable, and trust-minimized borrowing experience. These advancements directly address the major pain points found in many existing centralized and decentralized lending platforms.

Sculpting Scarcity: Artist Maxfield Mellenbruch Brings Rare Steak Worth Millions To Bitcoin 2025Maxfield Mellenbruch — an American sculptor, designer, and the creator of the iconic Kialara series — returns to the bitcoin stage with Rare, a platinum and gemstone-encrusted sculpture appraised at over $2 million. Mellenbruch first gained recognition in 2014 for crafting cold-storage Bitcoin wallets that blurred the line between high design and cryptographic function, earning a cult following among early adopters and collectors alike. His work explores themes of security, value, and permanence in the digital age.
Now, with Rare, he unveils his most ambitious piece to date. On view exclusively in the Deep Vault VIP exhibition during Bitcoin Conference 2025 in Las Vegas, Rare stands as the centerpiece of this year’s art auction and is expected to become the highest-selling artwork priced in bitcoin in the conference’s history.
Mellenbruch will also appear as a featured speaker on the Genesis Stage in a panel titled “From Cave Art to Code: Redefining Value in a World of Absolute Scarcity” alongside Vijay Boyapati and Jesse Myers, moderated by Erin Redwing of Inscribing Vegas. The conversation takes place on May 29, 2025, from 3:10–3:40 PM, just hours before the auction for Rare concludes on Scarce.City.
In advance of the artwork’s unveiling and auction at Bitcoin 2025, I spoke with Max about the ideas behind Rare and the evolving role of art in a Bitcoin-denominated world.
Rare is a jeweled sculpture of extraordinary commitment — over 12,000 gemstones, a 2.56-pound platinum cast, and a design that blends anatomical familiarity, extreme material excess, and almost satirical details like its leather case mimicking butcher paper. What compelled you to make this piece, and how long did it take to conceive, source, and execute such a technically and financially ambitious work?
The whole thing took about a year—casting the platinum, setting over 12,000 stones by hand, pulling together the right people. From the start, Rare was a stretch: technically, financially, creatively.
The idea had been building for a while—driven by a growing interest in what’s real, what endures, and what nourishes. I started cutting out processed food and paying closer attention to what I was putting in my body. That naturally led me to steak—simple, unprocessed, nutrient-dense. For a couple years, it was at the center of my diet. And the more I leaned into it, the more I noticed how controversial it had become. The narrative around red meat reminded me of how Bitcoin was treated in its early days—dismissed, attacked, misunderstood. But to me, both represented something honest and resilient. Rare came out of that overlap. Not as a dietary message or anything like that, but as a reaction to the way value gets distorted—and the instinct to come back to something elemental.
I already knew I had to make it. But seeing people’s reactions—from my jeweler’s excitement to someone at the casting house laughing in disbelief—helped confirm it. Rare isn’t just about excess. It’s about curiosity—about taking one idea as far as it can go and seeing if it still holds up.
Writer Jesse Myers suggests that humans are biologically wired to seek out scarce assets — a primal instinct that Bitcoin taps into. How did this idea inform your vision for Rare?
We’ve always chased what’s hard to get. That instinct hasn’t changed—just the objects have. Bitcoin taps into it. So does gold. So do gems. With Rare, I wanted to hit that same nerve—only through something physical. Platinum, diamonds, rubies—materials that carry weight, both literally and symbolically. They’re beautiful, elemental, forged over time. We respond to them without needing to be told why.
The title Rare does more than describe it. It’s a word people see all the time, but once they’ve seen this piece, it sticks differently. It rewires the word. Hijacks it a little. And the next time they see a steak—or hear the word rare—this might be the first thing that comes to mind. That’s part of the fun.
And yeah, part of this was about pushing the ceiling higher. If Rare works, it lifts everything that came before it. I think about that—how to keep things moving forward, not just for me, but for the collectors who’ve believed in my work from the start. It’s not about hype—it’s about making something that holds.
Your sculpture joins a lineage of high-stakes artworks that provoke intense responses — Fabergé eggs as imperial excess, Damien Hirst’s diamond skull as a meditation on wealth and mortality, Manzoni’s Artist’s Shit as market provocation. In the era of Bitcoin as a decentralized store of value, how does Rare challenge our inherited instincts around luxury, permanence, and what it means for something to be truly “valuable”?
I wanted to create something that felt impossible at first glance—a diamond-and-ruby steak. It’s absurd, sure. But that’s the point. We’re surrounded by noise, and attention has become its own kind of currency. I wanted to cut through it—not just to shock, but to say something about what we value. About what lasts. Like the works you mentioned, Rare plays with extravagance not just to impress—but to provoke.
I’ve spent the last decade creating physical Bitcoin wallets—art that held both currency and trust. I kept my head down, focused on craft, and over time, that turned into a real collector base. Rare isn’t a departure—it’s the next step. Just louder. Still speaking the same language: weight, precision, permanence.
I feel like I’ve earned the right to go there.
With Rare appraised at over $2 million and debuting at a Bitcoin event, the piece sits at the edge of cultural whiplash — a confrontation with both material opulence and Bitcoin’s trajectory. Do you see it as a kind of “future shock” — especially as figures like Michael Saylor suggest Bitcoin could reach $13 million per bitcoin? Even among Bitcoiners, how prepared do you think people are to emotionally process that scale of value?
I’m not even sure what “future shock” means anymore. Maybe it’s not about being surprised by the future—but realizing you’re already behind. A lot of people missed Bitcoin early on, and now they’re watching it run. So yeah, $13 million a coin sounds wild—but maybe what’s wilder is having none.
Things are moving fast—tech, money, culture—and it’s hard to keep up. People are overwhelmed. That’s where something like Rare fits in. It’s physical. You can see it, feel it. In a world where most value is invisible, that matters. Bitcoin’s different—it’s digital, but it still forces you to rethink what’s real. Same with long-term plays like ETFs. They’re all just different ways of asking: where do I put my value?
Most people probably aren’t ready. But no one really is. We’re all trying to figure it out while the ground keeps shifting.
Your earlier works, like the Kialara Labyrinth edition in 2015, helped give Bitcoin one of its first tangible forms — blending design, function, and cryptographic symbolism into a physical object. With Rare, you’ve moved from secure vessel to cultural artifact. How does this evolution mirror Bitcoin’s own transformation — from a niche cypherpunk experiment to a globally recognized store of value and institutional or corporate treasury asset?
In the early days, Bitcoin felt invisible. I wanted to give it a physical form—something fun and engaging people could actually hold. The Kialara series did that. It helped Bitcoin feel real when it was still mostly abstract.
But now Bitcoin is mainstream—ETFs, corporate treasuries, global headlines. It doesn’t need the same kind of validation. It doesn’t need me in the same way. So my role has shifted. With Rare, I’m contributing to the culture around it.
At a time when food, value, and meaning are all in flux… I wanted to create something that holds that tension. I’m not trying to make a nutritional statement, but I get the same feeling from beef and the carnivore movement now that I got from Bitcoin a decade ago—disruptive, controversial, misunderstood. Rare felt like the right place to explore that.
As Bitcoin blurs lines between money, ideology, and art, what do you see as the artist’s role in making sense of this shift — especially when the work itself, like Rare, sits at the intersection of extreme material value and symbolic power?
I’m not sure if the artist’s role is to make sense of the shift—or if the shift happens because the artist shows up. Sometimes we reflect the world. Sometimes we bend it. And today, what counts as an artist is wide open. Satoshi didn’t make traditional art, but he reshaped how we see trust, time, and value. That feels like art to me.
With Rare, I took some of the Earth’s most enduring materials and shaped them into something instinctual—something tied to appetite, ritual, and survival. No electronics. No moving parts. Raw elements from deep underground, shaped into a form we all recognize but rarely stop to consider. A cut of meat, frozen in time. It doesn’t try to e

Marty's Bent
It's been a hell of a week in Austin, Texas. The Texas Energy & Mining Summit was held at Bitcoin Park Austin on Tuesday and yesterday. Around 200 people from across the energy sector and the mining sector convened to discuss the current state of bitcoin mining, how it integrates with energy systems, and where things are going in the near to medium term. Representatives from ERCOT, Halliburton, and some of the largest mining companies in the world were in attendence. Across town, Bitcoin++ is holding their conference on mempools, which is fitting considering there is currently an ongoing debate about mempool policy and whether or not Bitcoin Core should eliminate the data limit on OP_RETURN.
I've had the pleasure of participating in both events. At the Texas Energy & Mining Summit I opened up the two-day event with the opening panel on why Texas is perfectly suited not only for bitcoin mining but for the bitcoin industry in general. Texas is a state that highly values private property rights, low taxes, and free market competition. It's become clear to me over the four years that I've lived in Texas that it is an incredible place to start a bitcoin business. The energy down here (pun intended) is palpable.
I also hosted the ending panel with Nick Gates from Priority Power, Will Cole from Zaprite and Jay Beddict from Foundry about what we have to look forward to through the rest of the year. I think the consensus was pretty clear on the panel, there's never been a more bullish setup for bitcoin historically. The political support we're getting here in the United States, the institutional adoption that we're seeing, and the fervor around protocol level development are all pointing in the right direction. Even though the discussions around protocol development can be contentious at times, it's a signal that people really care about this open source monetary protocol that we're all building on. We all agreed that Bitcoin has never been more de-risked than it is today. That is not to say that there aren't any risk.
We also discussed the problem with mining pool centralization and the FPPS payout scheme and why people need to be paying attention to it. But I think overall, things are looking pretty good right now.
Yesterday I also had the pleasure of running the live desk at Bitcoin++ speaking with many of the developers building out the protocol layer and layers above bitcoin. It's always extremely humbling to sit down and speak with the developers because they are so damn smart. Brilliant people who really care deeply about bitcoin. Even though many of them have very different views about the state of bitcoin and how to build it out moving forward. I view my role on the live desk is simply to try to get everybody's perspective. Not only on the OP_RETURN discussion, but on the future of bitcoin and how the protocol progresses from a technical perspective.
I had many conversations. The first with Average Gary and VNPRC, who are working on hashpools, which are attempting to solve the mining pool centralization and privacy problems that exists by using ecash. Hashpool gives miners the ability to exchange hash shares for ehash tokens. that are immediately liquid and exchangeable for bitcoin over the lightning network. Solving the consistent payout and liquidity problem that miners are always trying to solve. Currently FPPS payout schemes are the way they solve these problems. I'm incredibly optimistic about the hashpools project.
I also had the pleasure of speaking with SuperTestNet and Dusty Daemon, who are both focused on making bitcoin more inherently private at the protocol layer and on the lightning network. I think Dusty's work on splicing is very underappreciated right now and is something that you should all look into. Dusty also explained an idea he has that would make CoinJoin coordination much easier by creating a standardized coordination protocol. I'm going to butcher the explanation here, But I think the general idea is to create a way for people to combine inputs by monitoring the lightning network and looking for individual actors who are looking to rebalance channels and opportunistically set up a collaborative transaction with them. This is something I think everyone should look into and champion because I think it would be incredibly beneficial to on-chain privacy. As Bitcoin scales and gets adopted by millions and billions of people over the next few decades.
I also had the pleasure of speaking with Andrew Poelstra and Boerst about cryptography and block templates. For those of you who are unaware, Andrew Poelstra the Head of Research at Blockstream and on the cutting edge of the cryptography that bitcoin uses and may implement in the future. We had a wide ranging discussion about OP_RETURN, FROST, Musig2, Miniscript, quantum. resistant cryptographic libraries, and how Bitcoin Core actually works as a development project.
I also spoke with Liam Egan from Alpen Labs. He's working on ZK rollups on Bitcoin. Admittedly, this is an area I haven't explored too deeply, so it was awesome to sit down with Liam and get his perspective. Alpen Labs is leveraging BitVM to enable their rollups.
I highly recommend if and when you get the time to check out the YouTube stream of the Live Desk. A lot of very deep, technical conversations, but if you're really interested to learn how bitcoin actually works and some of the ideas that are out there to make it better, this is an incredible piece of content to watch. I'm about to head over for day two of Bitcoin++ to run the Live Desk again. So if you get this email before we go live make sure you subscribe to the YouTube channel and tune in for the day.
One thing I will say. Last night, there was a debate about OP_RETURN and I think it's important to note that despite how vitriolic people may get on Twitter, it's always interesting to see people with diametrically opposed views get together and have civil debates. It's obvious that everyone involved cares deeply about bitcoin. Having these tough conversations in person is very important. Particularly, civil conversations. I certainly think yesterday's debate was civil. Though, I will say I think that as bitcoiners, we should hold ourselves to a higher standard of decorum when debates like this are had.
Tyler Campbell from Unchained mentioned that it is insane that there was such a small group of people attending this particular debate about the future of a two trillion dollar protocol. Bitcoin is approaching $100,000 again as I type and no one in big tech, no one in big finance outside of people looking for bitcoin treasury plays is really paying attention to what's happening at the protocol level. This is simply funny to observe and probably a good thing in the long run. But, Meta, Stripe, Apple, Visa, Mastercard and the Teslas of the world are all asleep at the wheel as we build out the future of money.
The $1 Trillion Basis Trade Time Bomb
The massive basis trade currently looming over financial markets represents a systemic risk that dwarfs previous crises. As James Lavish warned during our conversation, approximately $1 trillion in leveraged positions exist within this trade - ten times larger than those held by Long-Term Capital Management before its 1998 collapse. These trades employ staggering leverage ratios between 20x to 100x just to make minuscule basis point differences profitable. The Brookings Institution, which Lavish describes as a "tacit research arm of the Fed," has published a paper explicitly warning about this trade's dangers.
"The Brookings Institution came out with a solution... instead of printing money this time, the Fed will just take the whole trade off of the hedge funds books. Absolutely, utterly maniacal. The thought of the Fed becoming a hedge fund... it's nuts." - James Lavish
What makes this situation particularly alarming is how an unwind could trigger cascading margin calls throughout interconnected financial markets. As Lavish explained, when positions begin unwinding, prices move dramatically, triggering more margin calls that force more selling. This "powder keg behind the scenes" is being closely monitored by sophisticated investors who understand its destructive potential. Unlike a controlled demolition, this unwinding could quickly become chaotic, potentially forcing unprecedented Fed intervention.
