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.

@ b8851a06:9b120ba1

The global financial system is creaking under its own weight. The IMF is urging banks to shore up capital, cut risk, and brace for impact. Basel III is their answer, a last-ditch effort to reinforce a brittle foundation.

But behind the scenes, a quieter revolution is under way.

Bitcoin, the world’s first stateless digital asset, is no longer on the sidelines. It’s entering the Basel conversation: not by invitation, but by inevitability.

Basel III: The System’s Self-Diagnosis

Basel III is more than a technical rulebook. It’s a confession: an admission that the global banking system is vulnerable. Created in the aftermath of 2008, it calls for: • Stronger capital reserves: So banks can survive losses. • Lower leverage: To reduce the domino effect of overexposure. • Liquidity buffers: To weather short-term shocks without collapsing.

But here’s the kicker: these rules are hostile to anything outside the fiat system. Bitcoin gets hit with a punitive 1,250% risk weight. That means for every $1 of exposure, banks must hold $1 in capital. The message from regulators? “You can hold Bitcoin, but you’ll pay for it.”

Yet that fear: based framing misses a bigger truth: Bitcoin doesn’t just survive in this environment. It thrives in it.

Bitcoin: A Parallel System, Built on Hard Rules

Where Basel III imposes “fiat discipline” from the top down, Bitcoin enforces it from the bottom up: with code, math, and transparency.

Bitcoin is not just a hedge. It’s a structural antidote to systemic fragility.

Volatility: A Strategic Asset

Yes, Bitcoin is volatile. But in a system that devalues fiat on a schedule, volatility is simply the cost of freedom. Under Basel III, banks are expected to build capital buffers during economic expansions.

What asset allows you to build those buffers faster than Bitcoin in a bull market?

When the cycle turns, those reserves act as shock absorbers: converting volatility into resilience. It’s anti-fragility in motion.

Liquidity: Real, Deep, and Global

Bitcoin settled over $19 trillion in transactions in 2024. That’s not hypothetical liquidity. it’s real, measurable flow. Unlike traditional high-quality liquid assets (HQLAs), Bitcoin is: • Available 24/7 • Borderless • Not dependent on central banks

By traditional definitions, Bitcoin is rapidly qualifying for HQLA status. Even if regulators aren’t ready to admit it.

Diversification: Breaking the Fiat Dependency

Basel III is designed to pull banks back into the fiat matrix. But Bitcoin offers an escape hatch. Strategic Bitcoin reserves are not about speculation, they’re insurance. For family offices, institutions, and sovereign funds, Bitcoin is the lifeboat when the fiat ship starts taking on water.

Regulatory Realignment: The System Reacts

The Basel Committee’s new rules on crypto exposures went live in January 2025. Around the world, regulators are scrambling to define their stance. Every new restriction placed on Bitcoin only strengthens its legitimacy, as more institutions ask: Why so much resistance, if it’s not a threat?

Bitcoin doesn’t need permission. It’s already being adopted by over 150 public companies, forward-looking states, and a new class of self-sovereign individuals.

Conclusion: The Real Question

This isn’t just about Bitcoin fitting into Basel III.

The real question is: How long can Basel III remain relevant in a world where Bitcoin exists?

Bitcoin is not the risk. It’s the reality check. And it might just be the strongest capital buffer the system has ever seen.

Gradually then suddenly.

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.

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.”
(Silvio Angori, a Pininfarina vezérigazgatója)[6][7]

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.

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

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.

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

由nip96模式改成了blossom

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： {.user-img}

\ Heute, am 9. Mai 2025 – genau 80 Jahre nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs, der 60 Millionen Menschen das Leben kostete, darunter 27 Millionen Sowjetbürgern, erheben wir, die Bürgerinnen und Bürger Europas, unsere Stimmen! 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!

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 Nostr

After 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.

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.

https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/public/journals/585/article_252151_cover_en_US.jpg

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.

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

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.

@ 1c19eb1a:e22fb0bc

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!

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].
