WhatsApp 旨在通过将帐户绑定到蜂窝网络上的有效 SIM 卡来验证您是否_真正拥有_该电话号码。在实践中，WhatsApp 通常会通过短信或自动语音通话向该号码发送 6 位数代码。但是，在某些地区，如中国（WhatsApp 被防火长城阻止），用户观察到仅仅接收短信或电话是不够的——您还需要在验证 404panda.com 期间在该 SIM 卡上启用蜂窝数据。在中国，WhatsApp 的国际短信经常失败（当地运营商可能会过滤或丢弃这些消息），因此 WhatsApp 似乎需要有效的_数据包数据协议 （PDP） 上下文 （即移动数据会话）作为登录握手的一部分。启用数据漫游可确保手机完全连接到运营商的数据网络，从而大大增加获取代码或完成注册 404panda.com 的机会。事实上，WhatsApp 的帮助中心明确表示您必须在设备中拥有 SIM 卡并启用短信或通话服务 ——注册 faq.whatsapp.com 不支持 VoIP、固定电话或“虚拟”号码。这意味着 WhatsApp 需要一个具有有效蜂窝连接的_真实手机号码 。

为什么需要移动数据？ 一个可能的原因是 WhatsApp 使用_基于运营商的验证_方法，而不仅仅是 SMS 代码。WhatsApp 的文档证实，在某些地区，它可以 “与您的电话运营商合作，验证您的设备信息是否与您注册的电话号码相匹配”， 因此您可以在没有 SMSfaq.whatsapp.com 的情况下进行验证。换句话说，WhatsApp 可以查询移动网络（通过数据通道）以检查“这款手机实际上是否使用带有数字 Y 的 SIM X？这种 SIM 卡探测使用移动数据平面（建立 PDP 上下文）来确认 SIM 卡的合法性。如果您的手机没有蜂窝数据会话，则此检查可能会失败——如果 WhatsApp 无法确定 SIM 卡是否存在，这似乎是_故意阻止注册 _。在中国的案例中，即使你使用 Wi-Fi 和 VPN 来访问 WhatsApp 的服务器（这是必要的，因为 WhatsApp 是被审查的），该应用程序仍然希望从蜂窝网络获得额外的保证。在实践中，中国的旅行者发现， 开启数据漫游，然后重试验证（通常在 VPN 处于活动状态的情况下） 可以让 WhatsApp 代码通过，注册 404panda.com 成功。这表明 WhatsApp 可能故意要求提供 PDP 上下文作为安全措施——以防止攻击者注册一个在_设备上并不真正活跃_的号码。这实际上是一种阻止使用欺骗性或虚拟号码并确保输入代码的人实际拥有实体 SIM 卡的方法。

How WhatsApp Performs Carrier-Based SIM Verification

除了标准的 SMS/语音 OTP 路由外，WhatsApp 还开发了其他机制来使用运营商网络来验证您的设备/号码：

• 运营商集成（数据平面“SIM 检查”） – 如前所述，WhatsApp 可以通过与移动运营商 faq.whatsapp.com 通信来自动验证您的手机。这可能涉及应用程序通过蜂窝移动数据向运营商授权的端点发出网络请求。运营商会根据正在注册的号码检查设备的订阅者信息（IMSI、电话号码），如果它们匹配，则返回验证。这发生在受支持区域的幕后。结果是无需用户输入任何代码即可无缝登录，并在 WhatsApp 中收到 “已验证” 确认，表明该号码已通过运营商 faq.whatsapp.com 安全验证。这种方法本质上确认了 SIM 卡的所有权——只有在网络上激活了该 SIM 卡的人才能通过检查。（如果手机仅使用 Wi-Fi，或者 SIM 卡没有数据计划/漫游，则无法进行此验证 - 这解释了为什么缺乏移动数据会使该过程停滞。

• “Flash Call”验证（语音通话 OTP） – WhatsApp 在 Androidtimesofindia.indiatimes.com 上引入了 Flash Calls 作为替代自动验证。在这种方法中，WhatsApp 不是发送短信，而是向您的号码拨打一个非常短的来电 ，并使用电话的通话记录来确认该号码。呼叫立即挂断 – 您无需接听。WhatsApp 只需要看到来自特定号码（由 WhatsApp 控制的号码）的电话是否到达设备。如果 WhatsApp 应用程序有权读取通话记录，它可以检测到此“快速通话”并自动验证帐户 timesofindia.indiatimes.comtimesofindia.indiatimes.com。这同样取决于运营商的语音网络和 SIM 卡的存在（没有 SIM 卡的攻击者无法接听该电话）。Flash 通话可以更快地登录并消除手动输入 SMS 代码，同时仍确保设备是具有目标电话号码的设备。（注意：由于 iOS 对通话记录访问 timesofindia.indiatimes.com） 的限制，Flash 通话仅在 Android 上提供。

• 存储的验证码 – 在某些情况下，WhatsApp 还可以使用以前存储的验证信息来自动确认身份。例如，如果您之前在同一设备上验证了 WhatsApp，它可能会保存一个唯一的令牌（或使用 iCloud/Google Drive 备份）以跳过重新发送 OTPfaq.whatsapp.comfaq.whatsapp.com。如果您选择加入（因为都是 Meta），Facebook/Instagram 甚至可以与 WhatsApp 共享验证令牌，以自动将您登录到同一设备 faq.whatsapp.com。这些方法本身并不是运营商检查，但它们是使重新登录安全和无缝的附加机制。

总之，WhatsApp 不仅仅是发送短信并信任阅读它的人。通过利用运营商 API 和设备的数据/语音通道，它增加了第二层保证： 该号码在已建立网络存在的设备上处于活动状态 。如果未检测到此类存在（例如，没有 PDP 上下文，或使用不在移动网络上的号码），WhatsApp 可能会拒绝注册。这减少了欺诈者使用断开连接或虚拟号码的机会，并有助于确保_注册者实际拥有 SIM 卡 _。

Telegram’s Login and Identity Model

相比之下，Telegram 采用更灵活（但不太依赖 SIM 卡）的帐户验证方法。与 WhatsApp 一样，Telegram 帐户锚定到电话号码，但 **该号码的所有权仅通过代码确认，无需额外的运营商探测。当您登录 Telegram 时，您输入您的电话号码，Telegram 会向您发送一个一次性代码——默认情况下，它会首先尝试通过 Telegram 本身传递此代码 （到您已经登录的任何其他 Telegram 应用程序），如果您没有其他活动会话，它会回退到短信或自动呼叫 telegram.org。关键区别在于 Telegram 仅信任代码作为身份证明。 不要求设备位于同一蜂窝网络上，甚至不要求 SIM 卡位于设备中 。例如，您可以通过在手机上接收 SMS 代码来登录 Telegram Desktop 或 Web（如果您有现有会话，甚至可以在没有 SMS），登录后，该设备在您的帐户上完全处于活动状态。

多设备设计：Telegram 是基于云的，支持多个活动会话。您所有的常规（非“秘密”）聊天都存储在 Telegram 的服务器上（在服务器上加密，但默认情况下不是端到端加密 ），这意味着任何登录的新设备都可以立即同步整个聊天记录。您可以同时在手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑等上保持登录状态。这种便利是一把双刃剑，以确保安全：如果攻击者获得了您的 Telegram 登录代码，他们可以_将新设备添加到您的帐户中，而不会将您踢出 _。您将收到新设备登录的通知，您可以在设置中查看活动会话，但攻击者现在可以并行完全访问您的帐户 ，根本不需要您的 SIM 卡 。从本质上讲，Telegram 将 SMS/OTP 视为足够的证据——一旦输入，该服务就会为新设备颁发会话令牌，并且不会在此之后不断与运营商“核对”。除了初始代码交换之外，没有内置机制将您的身份与物理 SIM 卡绑定。

安全影响： 这种灵活的模型意味着拥有验证码 = 拥有帐户 （没有额外的保护）。如果有人拦截了您的 Telegram 代码（例如通过 SIM 交换或对 SMS 的 SS7 攻击），他们可以以您的身份登录。正如一位安全专家直截了当地指出的那样：如果您尚未启用 Telegram 的两步验证密码，那么_是的 - 在 Telegram 上输入您的号码并窃取 SMS 代码的攻击者 **“可以使用它来登录 [您的] 帐户，假装他们是 [您]。*security.stackexchange.comsecurity.stackexchange.com 一旦进入，攻击者就可以访问您的所有云聊天、群组和联系人，因为 Telegram 会将数据同步到他们的设备。重要的是，您现有的 Telegram 会话也保持活动状态——这意味着攻击者可以在您不立即意识到的情况下悄悄地阅读您的消息（甚至以您的身份发送消息）。Telegram 确实会发送“新设备登录”的应用内警报，但用户可能会忽略这一点，特别是如果他们在更换 SIM 卡期间丢失了 SMS 服务。与 WhatsApp 不同，Telegram 不会在添加新会话时自动注销以前的会话 ——这种并发很方便（您可以使用多个设备），但它也可以实现更隐蔽的劫持。简而言之，Telegram 的理念是与_设备无关的云访问 ，这让用户有责任通过双因素身份验证等个人预防措施来保护他们的帐户。Telegram 确实提供了可选的两步验证功能（除了代码之外还有帐户密码）——强烈建议启用它。 启用此功能后，即使攻击者获得了您的 SMS 代码，他们也无法在不知道您设置的密码的情况下登录。但默认情况下，如果您尚未设置辅助密码，则该帐户仅受 OTP 代码方法 security.stackexchange.com 保护。

另一个比较点是，Telegram 甚至开始允许用户在没有 SIM 卡的情况下创建帐户（使用基于区块链的匿名“数字”）。这增加了匿名性，但显然意味着 Telegram 身份完全脱离了特定于设备的验证——它纯粹是“你知道的东西”（代码或 QR 登录），而不是“你拥有的东西”。虽然对于重视电信系统隐私的用户来说很方便，但它强调 Telegram 的模型优先考虑可访问性和灵活性 ，而不是严格的 SIM 卡所有权执行。

Security Trade-offs and Impersonation Resistance

WhatsApp 更严格的验证和单一设备范式使其可以说更能抵抗基于 SIM 卡的冒充或劫持 （尽管并非万无一失）。由于 WhatsApp 传统上只允许每个号码注册一台移动设备，因此成功的攻击者会立即将受害者从帐户中踢出——这实际上是一项_安全功能 _，因为它会通知受害者出现问题（他们会看到 WhatsApp 突然要求在他们的手机上重新验证）。相比之下，Telegram 受害者可能根本不会注意到入侵者，因为他们自己的会话不会中断，而攻击者会悄悄地窥探。WhatsApp 还使用与设备身份密钥绑定的端到端加密，因此当新的设备/帐户实例开始向您的联系人发送消息时，WhatsApp 会 security.stackexchange.com 向这些联系人广播安全代码更改 。理论上，您的联系人可能会收到“您的安全码已更改”的提醒——这表明您有一部新手机或其他人接管了您的帐户。（Telegram 的云聊天没有等效的功能，因为默认情况下加密不是端到端的;没有每个设备的密钥来警告更改。秘密聊天是特定于设备的 E2EE，但如果攻击者劫持了您的号码，他们可以简单地阅读您的非秘密聊天或冒充您开始新的秘密聊天。

此外，WhatsApp 不会将您的聊天记录存储在任何中央服务器上（只有您可以在客户端备份它）。因此，如果攻击者通过 SIM 卡交换劫持了您的 WhatsApp 帐户，他们将无法从 WhatsApp 服务器下载您过去的对话 ——如果他们也以某种方式拥有您的云帐户凭据，充其量他们可能会恢复 iCloud/Google Drive 备份。通常，WhatsApp 上的 SIM 卡交换器只能获得在以后的新聊天中冒充您的能力，而不是 security.stackexchange.com 阅读您的旧消息。相比之下，Telegram 劫持者可以立即访问_多年的消息 _（因为服务器会将数据同步到他们的设备），除非这些聊天是在秘密聊天中。这使得 Telegram 在成功的 SIM 交换攻击中可能更具破坏性。

另一方面，Telegram 自由的多设备系统意味着更容易在备用设备上恢复或使用您的帐户（您不依赖一部手机）。WhatsApp 一直在通过自己的多设备测试版（最多允许 4 个链接的配套设备）来缩小差距，但即使在那里，WhatsApp 也要求您通过扫描_主手机_的二维码或输入代码然后在手机上确认来链接新设备——即现有的受信任设备必须批准新设备。Telegram 不需要这样的批准——“登录代码” 是唯一需要的凭证（同样，除非你设置了密码）。这种差异解释了_安全性的权衡 _：WhatsApp 的方法更保守一些，但增加了安全性，而 Telegram 的方法更方便，但依赖于用户保持警惕 。Telegram 明确宣传其应用内发送的登录代码比 SMS 更安全（因为它们无法通过电信网络拦截）telegram.org – 这是真的，但这前提是您仍然有现有的登录设备来接收该代码。如果对手接管了您的电话号码，而您没有启用 2FA，Telegram 会很乐意向拥有该号码的人发送 SMS 代码（甚至向该号码的语音信箱发送语音电话），并且不会在运营商级别执行任何二次检查。在现实世界中，攻击者确实利用了这一点：曾有活动人士通过 SIM 卡交换或语音邮件拦截登录代码劫持 Telegram 帐户的案例，因为一旦他们获得代码，Telegram 服务器就会授予完全访问权限。 Telegram 团队自己的指导是，担心此类攻击的用户_必须_启用两步验证以保护帐户，同时承认默认的仅代码方法不足以应对 security.stackexchange.com 确定的攻击者。

底线：WhatsApp 对实时蜂窝网络连接的要求（尤其是在中国这样的地方尤其明显，这成为一个障碍）及其运营商辅助验证机制可能会使_远程攻击者更难_伪造您的号码所有权。攻击者通常需要物理 SIM 卡（或成功将 SIM 卡交换到他们的设备） 并能够在其上建立服务以接管 WhatsApp——即便如此，您的联系人也可能会收到设备更换的加密警告，并且您的旧会话/消息 security.stackexchange.comsecurity.stackexchange.com 保持安全.Telegram 在设计上牺牲了这种严格性，以支持用户的便利性：您只需使用代码即可从任何地方、任何设备上登录。权衡是，欺骗系统向他们提供登录代码的攻击者可以做同样的事情——除非你添加了额外的锁（如 2FA 密码）或注意到新的登录信息，否则 Telegram 会将它们视为您的另一台授权设备。总而言之，WhatsApp 与运营商网络的更深入集成及其有限的设备模型确实提供了更强大的保护，以防止基于 SIM 卡的冒充或会话劫持 ，而 Telegram 的灵活性要求用户采取额外的安全措施 （如启用两步验证和监控活动会话）以实现相当的弹性水平。如果使用得当，这两个系统都是安全的，但 WhatsApp 的默认设置更符合_确保消息真正来自合法的 SIM/手机所有者 _，而不仅仅是获得 SMS 代码的人。

来源： 官方 WhatsApp 和 Telegram 常见问题解答、安全分析和社区报告用于比较这些机制。值得注意的是，WhatsApp 的帮助中心确认了基于运营商的验证以及带有数据/短信 faq.whatsapp.comfaq.whatsapp.com 的有效 SIM 卡的要求。中国用户指南指出了为 WhatsApp 登录 404panda.com 启用数据漫游的必要性。WhatsApp 的新 flash-call 功能被记录为通过未接来电 timesofindia.indiatimes.com 进行自动 SIM 身份验证。相比之下，Telegram 的常见问题解答和安全讨论强调，默认情况下，通过应用程序或 SMS 发送的登录代码是 security.stackexchange.com 的唯一身份验证器 telegram.org。Stack Exchange 上的安全专家强调，如果没有 Telegram 的可选 2FA，拦截代码就足以劫持帐户 security.stackexchange.comsecurity.stackexchange.com。同时，WhatsApp 的端到端加密基础设施将通知联系人身份密钥更改，并且不会在 SIM 卡交换场景中 security.stackexchange.com security.stackexchange.com 暴露过去的聊天记录，这凸显了每个应用程序在维护身份验证和身份完整性方面的不同之处。

Cryptocurrencies are digital currencies that have gained significant attention in recent times. Cryptocurrency mining, also known as mining, involves computers equipped with specialized software and hardware solving problems to validate cryptocurrency transfer transactions and, in return, being rewarded with newly generated cryptocurrency. If you have a powerful computer and an internet connection, you can easily engage in mining. Anyone interested in cryptocurrency mining needs to have computers with robust processors.

Transfers between wallets are possible, and transactions can be added to the transaction pool on numerous blockchains without the need for confirmation. Later, transactions are combined to form a block. These blocks are verified from the perspective of the systems connected to the network and, upon confirmation, are added to the blockchain.

To earn money through mining, you need to invest a significant amount of time. Earnings can vary depending on the type of mining, the value of the cryptocurrency, and the unit of measurement. Considerable budget investment is required for the system. Price increases in computer components lead to an increase in investment. However, it's possible to turn your investment into profit in a short period.

Having a high processing power can make it more challenging to cool the computers. Taking this into account, you need to adjust your budget. Additionally, an increase in the number of computers makes monitoring and maintenance more difficult. You must have sufficient knowledge about hardware. Otherwise, there is a risk of your money going to waste. As mining progresses, your investment may need to increase. In the event of malfunctions and decreased performance, replacements are necessary.

How to Earn with Bitcoin Mining? With mining, you can earn cryptocurrency without having to work too hard. Bitcoin is obtained from units called blocks. To complete a block, there is a reward of 12.5 BTC. You can calculate this based on the current value of Bitcoin.

When Bitcoin was first introduced in 2009, mining rewarded 50 BTC. We can say that this number is halved every four years. So, in 2012, it became 25 BTC, in 2015, 12.5 BTC, and as of 2020, it was 6.25 BTC.

How much profit can be made from Bitcoin mining? Earning from cryptocurrencies is not limited to cryptocurrency exchanges. As mentioned earlier, you can also earn through mining. The income and expenses of Bitcoin mining can vary depending on the type of mining performed. Therefore, individuals interested in mining need to make a good plan.

The income can vary depending on the chosen mining method and the price and unit of the cryptocurrency. Making a profit takes time. After purchasing the hardware, you need to wait for it to amortize its cost and recover the fees paid for cloud mining.

Recent price stagnation has led to a decrease in on-chain transaction activity for Bitcoin. This has negatively affected miners' earnings. According to recent data, 231,437 transactions have been processed. This is noted as the lowest number of transactions since May 24th. We can see a 40% drop from the peak of 382,408 transactions in July.

What is the Return on Ethereum Mining? Ethereum is one of the most widely mined cryptocurrencies in the cryptocurrency market. Ethereum miners can earn an average of around $1,121 per year. When you factor in expenses for electricity, other hardware, and various items, it may not be possible to make a significant profit in the first year. However, if you view this as an investment, you can expect to make substantial gains in subsequent periods.

Having powerful hardware increases earnings and enables efficient mining. Just as with all investments, the risk-reward ratio should be calculated carefully for mining

CHAPTER TWENTY ONE

“Yes, thank you,” he repeated, eyes sharp. “Because in your rejection, I found purpose. In your insults, I found strength. And now, here I stand not as a man shaped by wealth but as a man forged in fire.”

The room went silent. A solemn kind of reverence now filled the air.

“I will not seek revenge,” James continued. “That’s not the legacy I want. But I will hold people accountable. And this… is just the beginning.”

Helen trembled in her seat. Mark felt sweat roll down his back. Even Susan and Robert felt the sting of those words.

“JP Enterprises,” James said, lifting his glass in a toast, “was built on vision, perseverance, and truth. And under my leadership, it will rise higher than ever before. For those willing to build, I welcome you. For those still plotting destruction…”

He let his words hang in the air, cold and final.

“…you won’t last long.”

The crowd erupted into an ovation once again, this time standing as they clapped.

Mrs. JP hugged her son once more. Mr. JP’s proud expression never faltered.

As the celebration continued, Helen slowly rose and left the hall in silence, not from shame but from a new, burning bitterness. Mark followed shortly behind her, furious whispers passing between them.

Tracy stayed seated, her face pale, her hands unmoving. She couldn’t stop replaying James’s words in her mind.

And James? He turned to the side of the stage and saw Rita standing there, tears glistening in her eyes, pride glowing on her face. She had seen the fall. Now she was witnessing the rise.

The moment was thick with silence. All eyes in the grand ballroom turned toward the center of the unfolding drama like magnets drawn to chaos. Cameras flashed. Murmurs rippled like waves through the crowd. Mr. JP, still standing on the stage beside his wife and son, narrowed his gaze.

The young lady, her face stained with tears and regret, dropped to her knees before James, her voice shaking but loud enough for everyone to hear.

“I’m sorry!” she cried. “Please forgive me… I… I was bribed! I was paid to come here and create a scene to disgrace you, to ruin your name”

James raised a brow, his face calm as stone.

The lady’s hand trembled as she pointed directly at two guests sitting stiffly in the second row. “It was them… Mark and Helen! They paid me. They told me to pretend I was your sister… I didn’t know it would go this far. I was desperate, and they offered me money!”

Gasps exploded in the room. Faces turned to Mark and Helen like a spotlight shifting focus. The weight of public scrutiny came crashing down.

“Lies!” Helen sprang up from her seat, her voice shrill and cracking. “She’s making it up! This is ridiculous! Why would I stoop so low?”

Mark stood next to her, adjusting his blazer as sweat gathered on his brow. “We’ve never seen this woman in our lives! She’s obviously been put up to this to frame us!”

James stepped forward, every inch the man now known as the true heir of JP Enterprises. “You both seem very quick to deny,” he said coolly, his gaze fixed like iron. “Are you implying this entire company, this crowd, and my family are foolish enough to believe a random accusation without evidence?”

“I’m saying this is staged,” Helen snapped, but her voice lacked its usual bite.

Before James could speak again, his uncle Charles walked toward the stage with a tablet in hand. “That’s interesting, because we already have transactional proof of your payments to her. Digital receipts. Surveillance footage. Voice recordings.” He held the tablet high. “Would you like me to play the part where you told her to make sure she cries in front of the cameras?”

The ballroom went utterly still.

Helen took a step back, her face paling. Mark's jaw clenched. “This… this can’t be real…”

“Oh, it’s very real,” James replied, his tone low and calm. “You thought you were playing chess while I was playing checkers. But I already saw the board long before you made your first move.”

Reporters surged forward, microphones extended, camera flashes dancing like strobe lights.

“Is this true, Mr. Mark? Ms. Helen?” “Were you behind the attempted defamation?” “Do you have any statement to make regarding the scandal?”

Helen was trembling now, her poise cracking under pressure. “You set us up!” she screamed. “You and your entire perfect little company, this is all a setup!”

“You did that yourself,” James said, his voice steady. “You tried to ruin me twice. Once in silence. Once in public. But the truth always finds light.”

Mr. JP raised his hand for silence. “I want them arrested,” he said firmly, turning to the uniformed security now entering the hall. “For defamation, for conspiracy, and for fraud.”

Helen turned to Mark. “Do something!”

Mark shook his head. “We’re finished…”

As the two were taken away by security, the entire room burst into conversations. Guests who had once smiled at Helen and Mark now recoiled. Their masks were gone. The truth was unveiled.

James turned to the young lady who was still kneeling. “You may go,” he said simply. “Justice isn’t yours to carry, it belongs to the law now.”

She nodded, tears falling anew, and left without a word.

Mrs. JP walked to her son’s side, taking his hand. “You’ve done well, James. Not just as a leader but as a man.”

Mr. JP smiled too, pride replacing the sternness in his eyes. “You’ve proven to this company and to this city that truth and integrity still win.”

James gave a slow nod, then stepped to the podium as the crowd turned toward him, waiting, hoping.

“I didn’t build JP Enterprises,” he said. “My father did. And many of you helped. But I will carry it forward. And I will protect it not just from failure, but from corruption.”

The ballroom quieted as James stepped down from the podium. The echoes of the applause still lingered like the gentle aftertaste of a vintage wine. People parted as he walked no longer the man whispered about in shadows, but the man now held in reverence. His walk was steady, composed. Every step was weighted with the dignity of a man who had not only reclaimed his name but risen far above the ones who tried to bury it.

Behind him, Helen and Mark were escorted out under the bright, unforgiving lights of press cameras and the judgment of a hundred curious eyes. There were no more veils to hide behind. No more pretense. Their downfall was no longer a quiet, whispered hope it was reality.

Outside the hall, as the night air kissed the courtyard, James stood with his mother, father, and Uncle Charles. Sandra and Rita joined them, both proud, both silent for a moment until Mrs. JP broke the silence.

The cryptocurrency landscape, once dominated by wild price swings and volatile tokens like Bitcoin and Ethereum, is witnessing a quiet but seismic shift. Stablecoins cryptocurrencies pegged to traditional assets like the U.S. dollar are increasingly taking center stage. While not as flashy as their high-flying cousins, stablecoins are proving to be the most functional and widely adopted segment of the crypto universe. Simply put: stablecoins are eating crypto.

What are stablecoins?

Stablecoins are digital assets designed to maintain a stable value relative to a fiat currency or commodity. The most popular stablecoins, such as Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), and DAI, are typically pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar. Their stability makes them ideal for transactions, trading, and storing value, especially in the notoriously volatile crypto markets.

There are three main types of stablecoins:

• Fiat-collateralized: Backed by reserves of fiat currencies held in bank accounts.
• Crypto-collateralized: Backed by other cryptocurrencies, usually overcollateralized to handle volatility.
• Algorithmic: Maintain their peg through supply-and-demand algorithms without actual reserves (e.g., the failed TerraUSD).

The rise in utility

What started as a tool for traders to hedge volatility has become the backbone of decentralized finance (DeFi), cross-border remittances, and even some central bank strategies. Stablecoins now play multiple roles:

• Medium of exchange: Unlike Bitcoin, which is rarely used in daily transactions due to its fluctuating price, stablecoins are ideal for payments.
• Liquidity providers: In DeFi, stablecoins serve as the base currency for lending, borrowing, and yield farming.
• Trading pairs: A large percentage of crypto trading volume is denominated in stablecoins, not in Bitcoin or fiat.

Growing market share

As of mid-2025, stablecoins represent a multi-hundred-billion-dollar market. Tether remains the largest by market cap, followed by USDC. Their total volume now rivals or in some days, exceeds that of Bitcoin and Ethereum. According to data from multiple crypto analytics platforms, stablecoins accounted for more than 70% of on-chain transaction volume in early 2025, highlighting their dominance in practical use cases.

Central banks and regulation

Stablecoins are also reshaping conversations around monetary sovereignty. Central banks are watching closely, with some developing their own Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) to compete. Meanwhile, regulators are scrambling to craft frameworks to oversee stablecoin issuers, particularly around reserve transparency and systemic risk.

The U.S. and EU are working toward legislation requiring stablecoin issuers to hold audited 1:1 reserves and submit to regular oversight, essentially treating them like narrow banks. The goal: harness the efficiency of stablecoins without compromising financial stability.

Why stablecoins are winning

1. Trust and predictability: In crypto, stability is a feature, not a bug. Traders and users prefer assets they can rely on for everyday transactions.
2. Interoperability: Stablecoins are blockchain-agnostic and can be used across multiple networks like Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon.
3. Programmability: They bring the efficiency of smart contracts to money itself, enabling automated, low-cost transactions.
4. Global access: Stablecoins offer dollar exposure to users in countries with unstable local currencies, providing financial inclusion with just a smartphone.

The ironic future

Ironically, the original vision of cryptocurrencies decentralized, uncensorable money has been somewhat sidelined by stablecoins, which often rely on centralized issuers and custodians. The dream of Bitcoin as digital cash is being fulfilled not by Bitcoin itself, but by stablecoins. That paradox lies at the heart of stablecoins’ quiet conquest.

Conclusion

Stablecoins may not grab headlines like Bitcoin bull runs or Ethereum upgrades, but their steady, practical growth is transforming crypto from a speculative playground into a functional financial ecosystem. As regulation crystallizes and usage continues to rise, stablecoins are not just part of the crypto industry they're becoming its foundation. And in doing so, they're slowly but surely eating the rest of crypto alive.

ยังมีเรื่องราวของน้ำตาล และ เซลล์ มาคุยกันต่อนะครับ เพราะยังมีคนสงสัยอยู่ว่า เอ้ย ตกลงต้องห่วงการ Spike&Staylong ของอินซุลินอยู่หรือเปล่า แล้วถ้าเราไม่ spike&staylong ก็คือกินคาร์บเบาๆตลอดวันได้เลยใช่ไหมก็มันไม่ spike&staylong แล้วนี่ โอเคครับ เรามาเปิดผับกันอีกครั้ง

คราวก่อนนั้นเราคุยกันเรื่อง ผับน้ำตาลกันไปแล้วนะครับว่า เมื่ออินซูลิน spike สูง และค้างนาน เหมือนเปิดผับแล้ววัยรุ่นแห่กันเข้ามาเที่ยว จนพีอาร์เมาจัด

เผื่อใครจำไม่ได้ ย้อนให้นิดๆครับ ว่าให้ลองนึกภาพว่าเฮียเปิดผับอยู่ดี ๆ ลูกค้าหลั่งไหลเข้ามารัว ๆ เหมือนมีโปรเบียร์ 1 แถม 10 ตอนสามทุ่ม ทุกโต๊ะสั่งข้าวเหนียวหมูปิ้งพร้อมเบียร์น้ำแข็งเต็มโต๊ะ นักเที่ยวก็ยังแห่เข้าผับแบบไม่มีพัก อินซูลินซึ่งเป็นเหมือน “พีอาร์” ที่ต้องจัดการรับแขก (หรือรับน้ำตาลเข้าสู่เซลล์) ก็เลยต้องทำงานหนักแบบ non-stop

อินซูลินเป็นฮอร์โมนสำคัญที่ช่วยเอาน้ำตาลในเลือดเข้าไปเก็บในเซลล์ ถ้า spike ทีเดียวสูงมาก เซลล์ก็รีบดูดน้ำตาลเข้าไปเต็มที่จนเกินพิกัด เหมือนผับที่แน่นจนปิดประตูไม่ลง

ถ้าเหตุการณ์แบบนี้เกิดขึ้นบ่อย ๆ ร่างกายจะเริ่มรู้สึกว่า “ทำไมอินซูลินถึงต้องออกมาบ่อยขนาดนี้วะ?” ระบบก็เริ่มปิดรับแขก เซลล์เริ่มไม่อยากตอบสนอง เพราะมันเหนื่อย มันชิน และมันก็เริ่ม “ดื้ออินซูลิน”

ผลที่ตามมาเมื่อ spike สูงและค้าง สิ่งที่ตามมา... คือความปั่นป่วนในร่างกายอย่างต่อเนื่อง น้ำตาลลอยค้างในเลือด ไปจับกับโปรตีนจนกลายเป็นเจ้า AGEs ตัวร้าย ไขมันก็ถูกสร้างมากขึ้น ล้นเข้าไปสะสมในตับ ในพุง ในซอกที่ร่างกายไม่รู้จะเก็บไว้ตรงไหนแล้ว สมองก็เบลอ ใจวูบ ง่วงงุน... เหมือนเข้าเวรประชุมยาวแบบไม่มีกาแฟ ฮอร์โมนที่เคยเป็นทีมงานสามัคคี ก็เริ่มทะเลาะกันเอง อินซูลินงอน leptin งง ghrelin งวย

แล้วถ้าเราไม่ spike แต่กินคาร์บจุ๋มจิ๋มทั้งวันล่ะ? พอรู้ว่าการเปิดผับแจกคาร์บแบบจัดหนักไม่ดี หลายคนก็ปรับกลยุทธ์ใหม่ มาแนวสายสุขุมว่า “งั้นเปิดผับแบบเนิบ ๆ ก็แล้วกัน… ไม่จัดปาร์ตี้ใหญ่ แต่มีแขกแวะเข้ามาทั้งวัน” ฟังดูดีใช่ไหม? แต่เอาเข้าจริง มันเหนื่อยไม่แพ้กันเลย

ลองนึกภาพว่าประเทศไม่มีเคอร์ฟิว เฮียเปิดผับที่มีลูกค้าเดินเข้าออกไม่หยุด ไม่ได้มากันเป็นฝูงแบบรอบโปรโมชั่น แต่มาเรื่อย ๆ แบบชั่วโมงละโต๊ะ สองโต๊ะ พีอาร์ อินซูลิน ก็เลยต้องยืนต้อนรับแขกตลอดเวลา ไม่มีเวลานั่งพัก ไม่มีช่วงเปลี่ยนกะ ไม่มีเวลาปิดไฟเก็บโต๊ะ คือทำงานต่อเนื่องยาว ๆ ตั้งแต่ 8 โมงเช้า ยัน 8 โมงเช้า สุดท้าย ผับก็เปิดไฟยันสว่าง อินซูลินก็กลายเป็นพนักงานกะดึกตลอดชีพ และเมื่อไม่มีเวลา “พักผับ” ระบบหลังบ้านก็ไม่เคยได้ฟื้นฟูเลย

ภาพรวมของการกินจุ๋มจิ๋มทั้งวันแบบนี้นั้น - เผาผลาญไขมันไม่ออกเลย เพราะอินซูลินทำหน้าที่เหมือนไฟบนเวที ถ้ายังเปิดไฟอยู่ “เครื่องดูดไขมันหลังร้าน” มันก็ไม่ทำงาน - แม่บ้านทำความสะอาดก็เข้าไม่ได้ เพราะแขกเดินเข้าเดินออกตลอด ระบบกำจัดที่ควรจะได้ล้างของเสียในเซลล์ ก็เลยโดนขัดจังหวะตลอด - พนักงานเหนื่อยสะสมจากงานไม่มีหยุด ทำให้เกิดความเครียดสะสมในร่างกาย ฮอร์โมนรวน อารมณ์ก็แปรปรวนง่ายขึ้น หิวเก่งขึ้น ทั้งที่เพิ่งกินไป

เปิดผับแบบคึกคักจัดเต็มทีเดียว แล้วปิดยาว หรือ เปิดทั้งวันแบบไม่มีช่วงปิด สุดท้ายพังทั้งคู่

ทีนี้เราน่าจะพอเห็นภาพร่างคร่าวๆ ของการบริหารการจัดการน้ำตาลในตัวเราได้แล้วนะครับ ว่าจะไดเอทไหนก็ตาม การบริหารการจัดการฮอร์โมนส์ คือสิ่งสำคัญไม่แพ้เรื่องอื่นๆ แม้จะไม่ใช่เรื่องสำคัญที่สุดในสายตาใครก็ตาม

นี่เป็นเพียงจุดเริ่มต้นการเรียนรู้เล็กๆ ซึ่งเส้นทางสายที่เรียกว่า ร่างกาย มันยังไปไกลอีกลิบลับเลยครับ ไม่ว่าจะจังหวัดคอติซอล จังหวัดพฤกษเคมี จังหวัดพลังงาน จังหวัดสารอาหาร แถมลักษณะร่างกายแต่ละคน ก็เปรียบเหมือนรถต่างยี่ห้อ ต่างน้ำมันขับเคลื่อน ต่างซีซี หรือแม้ว่าจะเหมือนกัน ก็ยังต่างปี ต่างไมล์การขับขี่

Streams are the key to nostr

Loading events from a nostr relay is probably the most inconsistent way of loading data I've had to work with, and that's only loading from a single relay. the problem gets exponentially more complicated once you try to load events from multiple relays

Unlike HTTP nostr does not have a simple flow with timeouts built in. events are sent back one at a time and can fail at any point or have massive (10s) gaps between them

The key is to use streams. something that starts, emits any number of results, then maybe errors or completes. luckily it just so happens that JavaScript / TypeScript has a great observable stream library called RxJS

What is an observable

An Observable in RxJS is stream a of data that are initialized lazily, which means the stream is inactive and not running until something subscribes to it

```ts let stream = new Observable((observer) => { observer.next(1) observer.next(2) observer.next(3) observer.complete() })

// The stream method isn't run until its subscribed to stream.subscribe(v => console.log(v)) ```

This is super powerful and perfect for nostr because it means we don't need to manage the life-cycle of the stream. it will run when something subscribes to it and stop when unsubscribed.

Its helpful to think of this as "pulling" data. once we have created an observable we can request the data from it at any point in the future.

Pulling data from relays

We can use the lazy nature of observables to only start fetching events from a nostr relay when we need them

For example we can create an observable that will load kind 1 events from the damus relay and stream them back as they are returned from the relay

```typescript let req = new Observable((observer) => { // Create a new websocket connection when the observable is start let ws = new WebSocket('wss://relay.damus.io')

ws.onopen = () => { // Start a REQ ws.send(JSON.stringify(['REQ', 'test', {kinds: [1], limit: 20}])) }

ws.onmessage = (event) => { let message = JSON.parse(event.data) // Get the event from the message and pass it along to the subscribers if(message[0] === 'EVENT') observer.next(message[1]) }

// Cleanup subscription return () => { ws.send(JSON.stringify(['CLOSE', 'test'])) ws.close() } }) ```

But creating the observable wont do anything. we need to subscribe to it to get any events.

ts let sub = req.subscribe(event => { console.log('we got an event' event) })

Cool now we are pulling events from a relay. once we are done we can stop listening to it by unsubscribing from it

ts sub.unsubscribe()

This will call the cleanup method on the observable, which in turn closes the connection to the relay.

Hopefully you can see how this work, we don't have any open, connect, or disconnect methods. we simply subscribe to a stream of events and it handles all the messy logic of connecting to a relay

Composing and chaining observables

I've shown you how we can create a simple stream of events from a relay, but what if we want to pull from two relays?

Easy, lets make the previous example into a function that takes a relay URL

```ts function getNoteFromRelay(relay: string){ return new Observable((observer) => { let ws = new WebSocket(relay)

// ...rest of the observable...

}) } ```

Then we can "merge" two of these observables into a single observable using the merge method from RxJS

The merge method will create a single observable that subscribes to both upstream observables and sends all the events back. Think of it as pulling events from both relays at once

```ts import { merge } from 'rxjs'

const notes = merge( getNoteFromRelay('wss://relay.damus.io'), getNoteFromRelay('wss://nos.lol') )

// Subscribe to the observable to start getting data from it const sub = notes.subscribe(event => { console.log(event) })

// later unsubscribe setTimeout(() => { sub.unsubscribe() }, 10_000) ```

But now we have a problem, because we are pulling events from two relays we are getting duplicate events. to solve this we can use the .pipe method and the distinct operator from RxJS to modify our single observable to only return one version of each event

The .pipe method will create a chain of observables that will each subscribe to the previous one and modify the returned values in some way

The distinct operator takes a method that returns a unique identifier and filters out any duplicate values

```ts import { merge, distinct } from 'rxjs'

const notes = merge( getNoteFromRelay('wss://relay.damus.io'), getNoteFromRelay('wss://nos.lol') ).pipe( // filter out events we have seen before based on the event id distinct(event => event.id) ) ```

Now we have an observable that when subscribed to will connect to two relays and return a stream of events without duplicates...

As you can see things can start getting complicated fast. but its also very powerful because we aren't managing any life-cycle code, we just subscribe and unsubscribe from an observable

Taking it to an extreme

Hopefully at this point you can see how powerful this is, we can think of almost any data loading pattern as a series of observables that pull data from upstream observables and stream it back to the original subscriber.

Here is a quick sketch of what it could look like to load user profiles. each node is an observable that "pulls" data from its child node ending with the "connect websocket" or "load from database" nodes which do the work of making a relay connection

Conclusion

All this might seem pretty simple and straight forward, but its been a long six month of learning for me. I've had to completely rethink how data and nostr events should be handled in a client and how to avoid screwing up and shooting myself in the foot with these powerful tools.

If you want to give RxJS a try I would encourage you to checkout the nostr sdk I've been building called applesauce

Its uses RxJS for pretty much everything and has the simplest and most flexible relay connection API I've seen so far (mainly no life-cycle management)

Let's start with some important foundational thinking - based on natural law. Money should be separate from the State - if not history shows that governments and human greed will always take over and manipulate the system in their favour and the expense of their populations. For extensive references, read The Sovereign Individual and The Creature from Jeckyll Island.

• The Separation of State and Money is the most important thing you can listen to this week. Thanks to Allen Farrington - his paper is here for those who prefer to read. Wake up, folks!

• The American Forefathers knew this when the wrote the American Constitution. Thomas Jefferson said: “If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency first by inflation then by deflation the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered... I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.” Mark Moss explains it well here. Charlie Robinsons take here.

The situation in Canada exemplifies the issues

Governments have have long used "international economic sanctions" against other nations to enforce their positions. Now in Canada, and soon in your country too, they are applying such sanctions their own citizens - disconnecting them from the financial system and removing their ability to use their own life savings as they wish. Canadians spoke with their money - in one week they raised more money in support of the truckers for peaceful protest than were raised in support of all Canadian political parties in the election of last year - only to have it confiscated and blocked by those politicians.

Bitcoin has always been a narrative revolution disguised as code. White paper, cypherpunk lore, pizza‑day legends - every block is a paragraph in the world’s most relentless epic. But code alone rarely converts the skeptic; it’s the camp‑fire myth that slips past the prefrontal cortex and shakes hands with the limbic system. People don’t adopt protocols first - they fall in love with protagonists.

Early adopters heard the white‑paper hymn, but most folks need characters first: a pizza‑day dreamer; a mother in a small country, crushed by the cost of remittance; a Warsaw street vendor swapping złoty for sats. When their arcs land, the brain releases a neurochemical OP_RETURN which says, “I belong in this plot.” That’s the sly roundabout orange pill: conviction smuggled inside catharsis.

That’s why, from 22–25 May in Warsaw’s Kinoteka, the Bitcoin Film Fest is loading its reels with rebellion. Each documentary, drama, and animated rabbit‑hole is a stealth wallet, zipping conviction straight into the feels of anyone still clasped within the cold claw of fiat. You come for the plot, you leave checking block heights.

Die zwei mächtigsten Krieger sind Geduld und Zeit. \ Leo Tolstoi

Zum Wohle unserer Gesundheit, unserer Leistungsfähigkeit und letztlich unseres Glücks ist es wichtig, die eigene Energie bewusst zu pflegen. Das gilt umso mehr für an gesellschaftlichen Themen interessierte, selbstbewusste und kritisch denkende Menschen. Denn für deren Wahrnehmung und Wohlbefinden waren und sind die rasanten, krisen- und propagandagefüllten letzten Jahre in Absurdistan eine harte Probe.

Nur wer regelmäßig Kraft tankt und Wege findet, mit den Herausforderungen umzugehen, kann eine solche Tortur überstehen, emotionale Erschöpfung vermeiden und trotz allem zufrieden sein. Dazu müssen wir erkunden, was uns Energie gibt und was sie uns raubt. Durch Selbstreflexion und Achtsamkeit finden wir sicher Dinge, die uns erfreuen und inspirieren, und andere, die uns eher stressen und belasten.

Die eigene Energie ist eng mit unserer körperlichen und mentalen Gesundheit verbunden. Methoden zur Förderung der körperlichen Gesundheit sind gut bekannt: eine ausgewogene Ernährung, regelmäßige Bewegung sowie ausreichend Schlaf und Erholung. Bei der nicht minder wichtigen emotionalen Balance wird es schon etwas komplizierter. Stress abzubauen, die eigenen Grenzen zu kennen oder solche zum Schutz zu setzen sowie die Konzentration auf Positives und Sinnvolles wären Ansätze.

Der emotionale ist auch der Bereich, über den «Energie-Räuber» bevorzugt attackieren. Das sind zum Beispiel Dinge wie Überforderung, Perfektionismus oder mangelhafte Kommunikation. Social Media gehören ganz sicher auch dazu. Sie stehlen uns nicht nur Zeit, sondern sind höchst manipulativ und erhöhen laut einer aktuellen Studie das Risiko für psychische Probleme wie Angstzustände und Depressionen.

Geben wir negativen oder gar bösen Menschen keine Macht über uns. Das Dauerfeuer der letzten Jahre mit Krisen, Konflikten und Gefahren sollte man zwar kennen, darf sich aber davon nicht runterziehen lassen. Das Ziel derartiger konzertierter Aktionen ist vor allem, unsere innere Stabilität zu zerstören, denn dann sind wir leichter zu steuern. Aber Geduld: Selbst vermeintliche «Sonnenköniginnen» wie EU-Kommissionspräsidentin von der Leyen fallen, wenn die Zeit reif ist.

Es ist wichtig, dass wir unsere ganz eigenen Bedürfnisse und Werte erkennen. Unsere Energiequellen müssen wir identifizieren und aktiv nutzen. Dazu gehören soziale Kontakte genauso wie zum Beispiel Hobbys und Leidenschaften. Umgeben wir uns mit Sinnhaftigkeit und lassen wir uns nicht die Energie rauben!

Mein Wahlspruch ist schon lange: «Was die Menschen wirklich bewegt, ist die Kultur.» Jetzt im Frühjahr beginnt hier in Andalusien die Zeit der «Ferias», jener traditionellen Volksfeste, die vor Lebensfreude sprudeln. Konzentrieren wir uns auf die schönen Dinge und auf unsere eigenen Talente – soziale Verbundenheit wird helfen, unsere innere Kraft zu stärken und zu bewahren.

Bitcoin has always been rooted in freedom and resistance to authority. I get that many of you are conflicted about the US Government stacking but by design we cannot stop anyone from using bitcoin. Many have asked me for my thoughts on the matter, so let’s rip it.

Concern

One of the most glaring issues with the strategic bitcoin reserve is its foundation, built on stolen bitcoin. For those of us who value private property this is an obvious betrayal of our core principles. Rather than proof of work, the bitcoin that seeds this reserve has been taken by force. The US Government should return the bitcoin stolen from Bitfinex and the Silk Road.

Using stolen bitcoin for the reserve creates a perverse incentive. If governments see bitcoin as a valuable asset, they will ramp up efforts to confiscate more bitcoin. The precedent is a major concern, and I stand strongly against it, but it should be also noted that governments were already seizing coin before the reserve so this is not really a change in policy.

Ideally all seized bitcoin should be burned, by law. This would align incentives properly and make it less likely for the government to actively increase coin seizures. Due to the truly scarce properties of bitcoin, all burned bitcoin helps existing holders through increased purchasing power regardless. This change would be unlikely but those of us in policy circles should push for it regardless. It would be best case scenario for American bitcoiners and would create a strong foundation for the next century of American leadership.

Optimism

The entire point of bitcoin is that we can spend or save it without permission. That said, it is a massive benefit to not have one of the strongest governments in human history actively trying to ruin our lives.

Since the beginning, bitcoiners have faced horrible regulatory trends. KYC, surveillance, and legal cases have made using bitcoin and building bitcoin businesses incredibly difficult. It is incredibly important to note that over the past year that trend has reversed for the first time in a decade. A strategic bitcoin reserve is a key driver of this shift. By holding bitcoin, the strongest government in the world has signaled that it is not just a fringe technology but rather truly valuable, legitimate, and worth stacking.

This alignment of incentives changes everything. The US Government stacking proves bitcoin’s worth. The resulting purchasing power appreciation helps all of us who are holding coin and as bitcoin succeeds our government receives direct benefit. A beautiful positive feedback loop.

Realism

We are trending in the right direction. A strategic bitcoin reserve is a sign that the state sees bitcoin as an asset worth embracing rather than destroying. That said, there is a lot of work left to be done. We cannot be lulled into complacency, the time to push forward is now, and we cannot take our foot off the gas. We have a seat at the table for the first time ever. Let's make it worth it.

We must protect the right to free usage of bitcoin and other digital technologies. Freedom in the digital age must be taken and defended, through both technical and political avenues. Multiple privacy focused developers are facing long jail sentences for building tools that protect our freedom. These cases are not just legal battles. They are attacks on the soul of bitcoin. We need to rally behind them, fight for their freedom, and ensure the ethos of bitcoin survives this new era of government interest. The strategic reserve is a step in the right direction, but it is up to us to hold the line and shape the future.

Recently we have seen a wave of high profile X accounts hacked. These attacks have exposed the fragility of the status quo security model used by modern social media platforms like X. Many users have asked if nostr fixes this, so lets dive in. How do these types of attacks translate into the world of nostr apps? For clarity, I will use X’s security model as representative of most big tech social platforms and compare it to nostr.

The Status Quo

On X, you never have full control of your account. Ultimately to use it requires permission from the company. They can suspend your account or limit your distribution. Theoretically they can even post from your account at will. An X account is tied to an email and password. Users can also opt into two factor authentication, which adds an extra layer of protection, a login code generated by an app. In theory, this setup works well, but it places a heavy burden on users. You need to create a strong, unique password and safeguard it. You also need to ensure your email account and phone number remain secure, as attackers can exploit these to reset your credentials and take over your account. Even if you do everything responsibly, there is another weak link in X infrastructure itself. The platform’s infrastructure allows accounts to be reset through its backend. This could happen maliciously by an employee or through an external attacker who compromises X’s backend. When an account is compromised, the legitimate user often gets locked out, unable to post or regain control without contacting X’s support team. That process can be slow, frustrating, and sometimes fruitless if support denies the request or cannot verify your identity. Often times support will require users to provide identification info in order to regain access, which represents a privacy risk. The centralized nature of X means you are ultimately at the mercy of the company’s systems and staff.

Nostr Requires Responsibility

Nostr flips this model radically. Users do not need permission from a company to access their account, they can generate as many accounts as they want, and cannot be easily censored. The key tradeoff here is that users have to take complete responsibility for their security. Instead of relying on a username, password, and corporate servers, nostr uses a private key as the sole credential for your account. Users generate this key and it is their responsibility to keep it safe. As long as you have your key, you can post. If someone else gets it, they can post too. It is that simple. This design has strong implications. Unlike X, there is no backend reset option. If your key is compromised or lost, there is no customer support to call. In a compromise scenario, both you and the attacker can post from the account simultaneously. Neither can lock the other out, since nostr relays simply accept whatever is signed with a valid key.

The benefit? No reliance on proprietary corporate infrastructure.. The negative? Security rests entirely on how well you protect your key.

Future Nostr Security Improvements

For many users, nostr’s standard security model, storing a private key on a phone with an encrypted cloud backup, will likely be sufficient. It is simple and reasonably secure. That said, nostr’s strength lies in its flexibility as an open protocol. Users will be able to choose between a range of security models, balancing convenience and protection based on need.

One promising option is a web of trust model for key rotation. Imagine pre-selecting a group of trusted friends. If your account is compromised, these people could collectively sign an event announcing the compromise to the network and designate a new key as your legitimate one. Apps could handle this process seamlessly in the background, notifying followers of the switch without much user interaction. This could become a popular choice for average users, but it is not without tradeoffs. It requires trust in your chosen web of trust, which might not suit power users or large organizations. It also has the issue that some apps may not recognize the key rotation properly and followers might get confused about which account is “real.”

For those needing higher security, there is the option of multisig using FROST (Flexible Round-Optimized Schnorr Threshold). In this setup, multiple keys must sign off on every action, including posting and updating a profile. A hacker with just one key could not do anything. This is likely overkill for most users due to complexity and inconvenience, but it could be a game changer for large organizations, companies, and governments. Imagine the White House nostr account requiring signatures from multiple people before a post goes live, that would be much more secure than the status quo big tech model.

Another option are hardware signers, similar to bitcoin hardware wallets. Private keys are kept on secure, offline devices, separate from the internet connected phone or computer you use to broadcast events. This drastically reduces the risk of remote hacks, as private keys never touches the internet. It can be used in combination with multisig setups for extra protection. This setup is much less convenient and probably overkill for most but could be ideal for governments, companies, or other high profile accounts.

---

Nostr’s security model is not perfect but is robust and versatile. Ultimately users are in control and security is their responsibility. Apps will give users multiple options to choose from and users will choose what best fits their need.

In much of the world, it is incredibly difficult to access U.S. dollars. Local currencies are often poorly managed and riddled with corruption. Billions of people demand a more reliable alternative. While the dollar has its own issues of corruption and mismanagement, it is widely regarded as superior to the fiat currencies it competes with globally. As a result, Tether has found massive success providing low cost, low friction access to dollars. Tether claims 400 million total users, is on track to add 200 million more this year, processes 8.1 million transactions daily, and facilitates $29 billion in daily transfers. Furthermore, their estimates suggest nearly 40% of users rely on it as a savings tool rather than just a transactional currency.

Tether’s rise has made the company a financial juggernaut. Last year alone, Tether raked in over $13 billion in profit, with a lean team of less than 100 employees. Their business model is elegantly simple: hold U.S. Treasuries and collect the interest. With over $113 billion in Treasuries, Tether has turned a straightforward concept into a profit machine.

Tether’s success has resulted in many competitors eager to claim a piece of the pie. This has triggered a massive venture capital grift cycle in USD tokens, with countless projects vying to dethrone Tether. Due to Tether’s entrenched network effect, these challengers face an uphill battle with little realistic chance of success. Most educated participants in the space likely recognize this reality but seem content to perpetuate the grift, hoping to cash out by dumping their equity positions on unsuspecting buyers before they realize the reality of the situation.

Historically, Tether’s greatest vulnerability has been U.S. government intervention. For over a decade, the company operated offshore with few allies in the U.S. establishment, making it a major target for regulatory action. That dynamic has shifted recently and Tether has seized the opportunity. By actively courting U.S. government support, Tether has fortified their position. This strategic move will likely cement their status as the dominant USD token for years to come.

While undeniably a great tool for the millions of users that rely on it, Tether is not without flaws. As a centralized, trusted third party, it holds the power to freeze or seize funds at its discretion. Corporate mismanagement or deliberate malpractice could also lead to massive losses at scale. In their goal of mitigating regulatory risk, Tether has deepened ties with law enforcement, mirroring some of the concerns of potential central bank digital currencies. In practice, Tether operates as a corporate CBDC alternative, collaborating with authorities to surveil and seize funds. The company proudly touts partnerships with leading surveillance firms and its own data reveals cooperation in over 1,000 law enforcement cases, with more than $2.5 billion in funds frozen.

---

The global demand for Tether is undeniable and the company’s profitability reflects its unrivaled success. Tether is owned and operated by bitcoiners and will likely continue to push forward strategic goals that help the movement as a whole. Recent efforts to mitigate the threat of U.S. government enforcement will likely solidify their network effect and stifle meaningful adoption of rival USD tokens or CBDCs. Yet, for all their achievements, Tether is simply a worse form of money than bitcoin. Tether requires trust in a centralized entity, while bitcoin can be saved or spent without permission. Furthermore, Tether is tied to the value of the US Dollar which is designed to lose purchasing power over time, while bitcoin, as a truly scarce asset, is designed to increase in purchasing power with adoption. As people awaken to the risks of Tether’s control, and the benefits bitcoin provides, bitcoin adoption will likely surpass it.

The rental population in Spain has grown from about 5 million in 2005 to around 10 million in 2025. During that same period, Spain's total population has increased by 6 million people, from 43 to 49 million. In other words, the entire population growth over the past 20 years has essentially gone straight into the rental market.

This demographic growth is not due to natural increase, Spain has one of the lowest fertility rates in the world. Instead, population growth is driven by a positive migratory balance, which has been the main factor behind the rise in rental demand.

This increased demand for rentals has pushed up rental prices, which have significantly outpaced the growth in property sale prices. That didn’t happen during the Great Financial Crisis. The growth in both demand and prices is allowing rental profitability to remain at the high end of the curve—around 5% net.

This situation explains the rise in housing squatting, from 2,000 cases in 2010 to 16,000 in 2024. Since the immigrant population is the main driver of this surge in rental demand, it is more vulnerable to squatting, as they often have no alternative housing when they are unable to pay.

The unemployment rate is currently low, however, if it were to rise (as it did during the Great Financial Crisis and other periods in the past), squatting would likely increase significantly, representing the main risk to the current real estate market in Spain.

One of the most common criticisms leveled against nostr is the perceived lack of assurance when it comes to data storage. Critics argue that without a centralized authority guaranteeing that all data is preserved, important information will be lost. They also claim that running a relay will become prohibitively expensive. While there is truth to these concerns, they miss the mark. The genius of nostr lies in its flexibility, resilience, and the way it harnesses human incentives to ensure data availability in practice.

A nostr relay is simply a server that holds cryptographically verifiable signed data and makes it available to others. Relays are simple, flexible, open, and require no permission to run. Critics are right that operating a relay attempting to store all nostr data will be costly. What they miss is that most will not run all encompassing archive relays. Nostr does not rely on massive archive relays. Instead, anyone can run a relay and choose to store whatever subset of data they want. This keeps costs low and operations flexible, making relay operation accessible to all sorts of individuals and entities with varying use cases.

Critics are correct that there is no ironclad guarantee that every piece of data will always be available. Unlike bitcoin where data permanence is baked into the system at a steep cost, nostr does not promise that every random note or meme will be preserved forever. That said, in practice, any data perceived as valuable by someone will likely be stored and distributed by multiple entities. If something matters to someone, they will keep a signed copy.

Nostr is the Streisand Effect in protocol form. The Streisand effect is when an attempt to suppress information backfires, causing it to spread even further. With nostr, anyone can broadcast signed data, anyone can store it, and anyone can distribute it. Try to censor something important? Good luck. The moment it catches attention, it will be stored on relays across the globe, copied, and shared by those who find it worth keeping. Data deemed important will be replicated across servers by individuals acting in their own interest.

Nostr’s distributed nature ensures that the system does not rely on a single point of failure or a corporate overlord. Instead, it leans on the collective will of its users. The result is a network where costs stay manageable, participation is open to all, and valuable verifiable data is stored and distributed forever.

Today we’re launching Buzzbot Express: a clean, targeted way to drive engagement and reward your audience with sats.

Here’s how it works:

1. Tag @buzzbot express [amount] (e.g., @buzzbot express 5000)

2. Pay the invoice sent to your DMs

3. After 12 hours, one random liker and one random commenter each win **50% of the sats **(6% fee)

Since launching Buzzbot, we’ve seen a wide range of creative use cases. But the clearest path to long-term value may lie in branded content and decentralized promotion.

From plebs promoting value-for-value concerts to podcasters pushing new episodes, Buzzbot Express gives creators and brands a tool to generate real energy around a post.

Paying for engagement might feel off-brand to some, but if you’re promoting a product, a song, or an event, Buzzbot Express offers a clean, transparent way to generate real momentum.

The invention of Zaps opened the fifth dimension of social media. They are not just another feature added to the stack. They are an exponential amplifier that transforms attention into economic energy.

At Buzzbot, we believe this new creator economy can and should include advertisers.

The days of brands paying millions to ad firms, hiring Hollywood talent, and forcing campaigns into feeds are fading. That model made sense on centralized, algorithmic platforms, but it doesn’t belong on Nostr.

Instead, brands can spend that same money directly with creators who align with their values. Or better yet, they can reward audiences for engaging honestly.

That’s where Buzzbot comes in.

Buzzbot Express is a small step toward this future. Try it out — and let us know what you think.

Pay attention.

In the year 2023, a man known as RTD. HAMZA AL-MUSTAPHA. In a TV show revealed the secret behind the mining of californium in west African country, Nigeria. He also revealed that the mining of californium is also the reason while a particular (borno) state in Nigeria 🇳🇬 experience hight rate of terrorism!.

There are several research that quote that californium does not exist naturally on earth but can be made in the laboratory with the bombarding of curium with helium ions. Now from this context, it shows that there are two elements responsible for californium, which are curium and helium ions. But before i dive in deeper, there are some key words that will convince and prove the existence of californium in Nigeria.

• californium.
• curium.
• helium ions.
• mining.
• Earth crust.
• temperature.
• bombarding.

Californium: this is a chemical element of atomic number 98, a radioactive metal of the actinide series, first produced by bombarding of curium with helium ions. This means that californium is a product of curium and helium after the bombarding process.

Curium: this is a synthetic, radioactive, metallic element with the atomic number of 96. There are many ways and places where curium can be found apart from being produced in the laboratory. But in this contexts, I will focus on environmental samples and nuclear waste ways of finding curium. _ environment sample: trace amounts of Curium can be found in environmental samples such as soil or water, near
nuclear facilities or after nuclear accidents. _ nuclear waste: curium is a component of nuclear waste, particularly in spent nuclear fuel. This means that we can find curium in our environment not only on laboratory.

Helium: helium is a chemical element with the atomic number of 2, it is colorless, tasteless, odorless and non toxic, inert monatomic gas. There are ways and places you can get helium but I want to focus on the radioactive decay method of getting helium. _radioactive decay: in this method, helium is produced through the radioactive decay of uranium and thorium in the Earth crust.

Mining: Mining is the process of extracting valuable materials from the beneath the Earth crust, including minerals, metals, and fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas. It involves various techniques, from digging tunnels for underground mining to excavating open-pit mines. The goal is to locate and extract economically viable deposits of these resources for use in manufacturing, energy production, and other applications.

Temperature: thus is the hotness or coldness of something, which is specifically related to the average kinetic energy of an object's particle. Since particles are in constant motion, they possess kinetic energy, and temperature reflects the energy associated with this particle movement. The temperature beneath the Earth is very high causing this elements (curium and helium) to bombard and form californium 😃.

Bombarding: direct a stream of high-speed particles at (a substance) or element.

Since there are the presence of curium and helium ions beneath the Earth crust, the high temperature beneath there will bombard them both forming californium as the end product, which attracts miners to come do there mining activities and discover californium. 😀

Final, there are atoms of truth in what RTD. AL-MUSTAPHA said about CALIFORNIUM in Nigeria 🇳🇬.

How could the Dallas Mavericks possibly have gotten the first pick in this draft? League corruption? Mischievous basketball gods? Simulation theory? Dumb stupid luck? Whatever the reason, it's very interesting.

We'll probably be done with the 2nd round, by the time we record, which means round 2 recap and conference finals previews. It's definitely not the matchups anyone expected. What are the implications for our brackets?

The NFL released the season schedules and @grayruby's rightly excited for his 49ers upcoming season.

The parity situation worsens in the MLB, as the Dodgers' pitchers are ravaged by injury. Also, @grayruby and I are going head-to-head in fantasy baseball this week. Who will prevail?

On this week's Blok'd Shots, @grayruby will dance on the Leafs' grave and celebrate their well-deserved misfortune. Hell hath no fury like a scorned Leafs fan. Also, the NHL bracket is coming down to me and @Jer. Will knowing anything about hockey be enough to get Jer the victory?

And, as always, whatever the stackers want us to cover.

I soar all over the world, but one of the places I visit often is this little tiny square opening. I land softly on the platform and peer in through the hole. There’s a man inside; he seems to enjoy when I come by. His eyes light up and he gives me crumbs of bread to eat. The bread is tasty and fulfilling; it satisfies my hunger during my flights to other destinations. I wonder what it’s like to be man.

Man does strange things. I can’t fully understand. For example, this man is confined in a tiny box. He sits on what looks like a deformed tree, and in front of him is a tiny rectangular box. Everything man has is so boxy; it’s unnatural to me. When I fly from place to place, I don’t see any boxes; rather, I see a wiggly world. Endless shape, no two things look the same, but to man, it’s like he wants everything to be the same. Man usually is looking at other thin boxes; these are slim and have marks on them. He appears to stare for a long time at them, and then he sets them down and picks up another to stare at. In his box, he has long, narrow boxes. They hold small boxes bundled together with slim boxes. It gives me a headache seeing so many boxes. Once I observed man outside in the wiggly world, and when he left his big box, he went into another smaller box that moved! I was so interested I followed his moving box. You wouldn’t guess where he went to! Another box, but this one was a big one with subsections of smaller boxes. Could you believe they even have big boxes for water! What a headache man is.

The game man plays is interesting; it seems to be about boxes and how to put wiggly things in them. The wiggly is too elusive; one can’t box it up. Even if you surround the wiggly in a box, it will continue to wiggle. Like a tree confined to a planter box, its roots will spread beyond their confinement. Man is like this but believes the box will contain him, shameful.

I used to think I thrived on chaos. Podcasts blaring, TV on in the background, notifications pinging—it was my norm. But last year, I hit a wall. I was irritable, foggy, and couldn’t focus. I didn’t realize how much the constant noise was frying my brain until I tried something radical: silence.

The Experiment One weekend, I turned everything off. No music, no screens, no chatter. At first, it was weird—almost suffocating. My mind raced, looking for something to latch onto. But after a few hours, I settled in. I sat with a cup of tea, just listening to the hum of the fridge. It was the first time in months I’d actually heard my own thoughts

What Silence Gave Me That quiet weekend was a reset. I started noticing things I’d ignored—like how tense I’d been or how I’d been avoiding tough decisions. Silence didn’t just calm me; it forced me to face myself. I kept it up, carving out 30 minutes a day with no sound. It’s become my sanity-saver. When life gets loud, those quiet moments keep me grounded. Turns out, my brain needed the break. All that noise was overloading me, leaving no room to process anything. Silence let me recharge and think clearly again. It’s not about being a hermit—it’s about giving myself space to breathe.

In the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrencies, the potential interplay between artificial intelligence and digital assets has captured significant attention. Cointelegraph recently reported on the concept of AI, particularly in the form of ChatGPT, contributing to the potential rise of Bitcoin, potentially reaching a value of $100K in 2024. This development offers a glimpse into the role of AI in shaping the direction of cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin.

AI’s Role in Shaping Bitcoin’s Future: ChatGPT, an advanced language model powered by artificial intelligence, has been seen as a potential assistant in driving Bitcoin’s value upwards. The underlying premise is rooted in AI’s capacity to influence market analysis, comprehend and design trading strategies, and anticipate potential trends in the cryptocurrency sector. By leveraging vast amounts of data and analyzing complex patterns, ChatGPT could provide insights that impact investment decisions and market.

AI-Powered Market Analysis and Prediction One of the key ways AI, represented by ChatGPT, can aid Bitcoin’s value appreciation is through advanced market analysis and prediction. By assimilating and processing large datasets encompassing historical price movements, trading volumes, market sentiment, and external factors, AI can potentially forecast potential price changes with a higher degree of accuracy. This analytical capability could equip investors with valuable insights regarding optimal entry and exit points, thus potentially contributing to Bitcoin’s upward trajectory. Furthermore, AI’s predictive abilities extend to discerning macroeconomic and geopolitical developments that could impact Bitcoin’s value, enabling proactive decision-making in response to dynamic market conditions. This foresight could instill confidence among investors and potentially drive greater adoption and investment in Bitcoin, which contributed to its ascent $100K mark.

Influencing Trading Strategies AI-driven trading strategies have gained prominence in financial markets, and their potential impact on Bitcoin’s valuation is noteworthy.

Developer SHIFT UP has announced that their latest titled, Stellar Blade, that was released on PS5 on the 2024, will release on PC via Steam and EGS on the 11th of June 2025.

The game will be priced at $60, and $80 for the edition of the game that includes the 'Twin Expansion Pack', which includes the NieR: Automata DLC and the Goddess of Victory: Nikke DLC, and a key to redeem a Stellar Blade costume in the developer's previous Free-to-Play title Goddess of Victory: Nikke.

The trailer released to announce said release date also showcases the changes the made for the game and highlight PC specific enhancements, support, and options.

It's worth noting, in terms of negative news that tagged along with this, that the game will have Denuvo running, which there are evidence that decreases a game's performance, and may prevent you from playing the game offline. The game will also have an optional PSN account login, and because of this, the game is not available for purchase in around 130 countries. There's also an exclusive outfit locked behind a PSN-to-Steam account linking.

Baustelle HERZ

Können wir nicht einfach glücklich sein? Nein.

Eine traumatisierte Gesellschaft kann nicht EINFACH glücklich sein, weil die Herzen verletzt sind.

„Ja, aber es gibt doch auch noch andere Probleme als Trauma“, kritisieren einige.

„Ich habe schließlich eine Familie und einen anstrengenden Job“, erklären andere.

„Für mich ist das eine abstrakte Diskussion, ein Luxusproblem“, geben manche zu bedenken.

„Eigentlich möchte ich mich mit dem Thema gar nicht beschäftigen“, sagen wenige, denken aber viele.

„Ich beschäftige mich lieber mit positiven Dingen“, ist die diplomatische Variante der Vermeidung dieses Themas.

Niemand redet gerne über Trauma, bis es an die eigene Tür klopft. Und dann ist guter Rat teuer. Dann würde man gerne reden, aber die anderen wollen immer noch nicht.

Niemand redet gerne über Trauma.

„Was heißt denn Anklopfen?“ Mit Anklopfen meine ich die Situationen, die jeder kennt. Gemeint sind ganz normale Lebenskrisen, die es mehrmals in jedem Leben gibt.

„Ist denn eine Lebenskrise gleichzusetzten mit einem Trauma?“ Nein, aber durch eine starke Lebenskrise kann ein altes Trauma wieder hochgespült werden, und das fühlt sich dann original so an, wie das Trauma, das man z.B. als Kind oder später im Leben erlebt hat.

Und das passiert in einer traumatisierten Gesellschaft ständig, nur nennen die Leute es nicht so. Niemand sagt: „Er oder sie hat ein aktiviertes Trauma.“

Hierzu habe ich eine Anekdote. Vor ein paar Monaten zog in das Nachbarhaus bei mir auf der Straße ein junger Mann ein. Das Haus war frisch renoviert worden. Es zogen zeitgleich mehrere junge Leute jeweils in eine Wohnung dieses Hauses ein. Die Stimmung im Haus war gut, weil alles neu und geschmackvoll gestaltet worden war und die Mieter gut zusammen passten. Dann merkten die Mieter und Nachbarn, dass es einem jungen Mann nicht gut ging. Er saß den ganzen Tag in der Wohnung, konnte sich zu nichts aufraffen. Er schaffte es nicht, sich Lebensmittel einzukaufen. Ein Freund kam regelmäßig vorbei und brachte ihm Essen. Eine ältere Nachbarin fragte nach einigen Monaten diesen Freund, was dem jungen Mann denn fehle, ob er eine Krankheit habe oder was denn los sei. Der Freund lachte und sagte nur einen Satz: „Er stirbt.“

Die Nachbarin erzählte mir das und schaute mich fragend an. Ich übersetzte ihr den Satz und meinte: „Er hat vermutlich Liebeskummer.“ Aber was ich wirklich dachte, war, dass er ein aktiviertes Trauma hatte, nur sagte ich das nicht zur Nachbarin. Nach mittlerweile zwei Jahren kommt der Freund immer noch regelmäßig und bringt dem jungen Mann Essen. Er kauft für ihn ein und kümmert sich um ihn.

Manche Menschen leiden sehr lange unter Verlusten, Zurückweisungen, Niederlagen, Verletzungen. Andere kommen nie auf die nächste Stufe, obwohl sie sich unaufhörlich anstrengen. Wieder andere haben alles und sind dennoch unzufrieden und in permanenter Angriffshaltung. All diese Phänomene dauern oft lange, manchmal sogar ein Leben lang. Meines Erachtens sind das aktivierte Traumen bzw. Traumen, die gut verschlossen dennoch im Unterbewusstsein gegen die eigene Person arbeiten.

Trauma hat viele Gesichter.

Es kommt bei den unmöglichsten Gelegenheiten zum Vorschein. Und oft erkennen wir es nicht als das, was es ist. Wir suchen den Grund im Außen, den es ja meist auch gibt. Nur ist der Grund nicht der Grund, sondern nur der Auslöser.

Auch ich bin einmal „gestorben“. Dieser Zustand dauerte über drei Jahre an. Deshalb klingelte es bei mir auch sofort im Ohr als die Nachbarin sagte, der Freund habe gesagt: „Er stirbt.“

Sprache ist wunderbar.

Wer beides schon mal erlebt hat, eine normale Trennung und eine schwere Trennung, einen normalen Arbeitsplatzwechsel oder einen dramatischen Jobverlust, ein geplatztes Geschäft oder einen geplatzten Lebenstraum, das Ende einer Freundschaft oder eine Kränkung, über die man noch nach 35 Jahren so berichtet, als ob es gestern gewesen wäre, der kennt den Unterschied in der Intensität der Gefühle. Manche Menschen erzählen immer wieder eine Geschichte, obwohl man sie schon kennt und auch sein Mitgefühl dazu ausgedrückt hat. Manche Menschen reden gar nicht mehr über eine bestimmte Sache, bis einem irgendwann von Dritten gesagt wird, dass man ihn oder sie besser nicht auf das Thema XYZ ansprechen sollte.

All das sind aktivierte Traumen, die noch weh tun, noch nicht verarbeitet sind. Es sind Dinge, die jedem von uns passieren können. Jeder erlebt im Leben partnerschaftliche Trennungen, geplatzte Geschäfte und Kränkungen am laufenden Meter, aber es „trifft“ einen nicht immer gleich. Und es trifft nicht nur die Sensiblen, sondern es trifft jeden, wenn der Punkt, an dem es trifft, wund ist. Der wunde Punkt macht jeden sensibel. Auch robuste Naturen haben einen wunden Punkt. Und wenn der getroffen wird, dann werden auch die härtesten Menschen butterweich. In einer traumatisierten Gesellschaft wird jeder so oft  „getroffen“, wie es braucht, bis er sich dem Thema widmet. Wir alle haben diese frühen oder späten Traumen erlebt, die früher oder später erneut durch Krisen aktiviert werden. Und dann „sterben“ wir, zumindest gefühlt.

Denn Trauma ist immer existenziell.

Und aktiviertes Trauma ist bitte nicht zu verwechseln mit Depression. Es ist ein aktiviertes Trauma, das sich im Unterschied zur Depression sehr wach, lebendig und vor allem schmerzvoll anfühlt. Es fühlt sich an wie „damals“. Das versteht man, in der Situation steckend, komischerweise sofort, denn wir haben ein Schmerzgedächtnis. Wir können Düfte oder Musik ja auch sofort zuordnen, wenn sie uns an etwas erinnern. Mit Schmerz ist es ähnlich. Aber es fällt so schwer, darüber zu reden, weil es keiner versteht und weil es dafür meines Erachtens in unserer Sprache keine Worte gibt. Man versteht das erst, wenn man es selbst erlebt hat. Und dann reichen zwei Worte.

Die Baustelle HERZ versteht man erst, wenn man selbst ein aktiviertes Trauma erlebt, durchlebt hat, wenn man einmal „gestorben“ ist.

Heute kann ich an Äußerungen, die jemand macht, gut ablesen, ob jemand seine Baustelle HERZ bereits kennen gelernt hat oder nicht. Menschen, die das selbst noch nicht kennen gelernt haben, haben oft aufmunternde Sprüche wie „Das wird schon wieder. Jetzt lass den Kopf mal nicht hängen.“ Das hilft einem dann in etwa so, wie wenn man in einer Depression gesagt bekommt: „Nun lach doch mal.“ Man weiß dann sofort, welchen Erfahrungshintergrund das Gegenüber hat. Das ist keine Wertung, nur eine Feststellung. Unsere Kultur hat hier einfach wichtiges Wissen verloren. Ich persönlich weiß nicht, wie es ist, ein Kind auf die Welt zu bringen oder ein Kind zu verlieren. Ich weiß vieles nicht und habe vermutlich auch schon wenig hilfreiche Kommentare abgegeben, weil ich es nicht besser wusste. Aber ich weiß, wie sich ein aktiviertes Trauma anfühlt. Und das ist ein wertvolles Wissen, was ich gern teilen möchte. Man schaut mit diesem erfahrenen Wissen (kein Bücher-Wissen) viel  differenzierter auf das Leid anderer Menschen. Es gibt so viele Sorten von Trauma und deswegen auch Sorten von aktiviertem Trauma. Manchmal denkt man sich nichts dabei und sagt etwas, und schon hat man beim anderen einen Punkt getroffen, der dadurch nun schmerzt. Wenn man Glück hat, dann dauert der Schmerz nur kurz an. Wenn man Pech hat, ist die Freundschaft zu Ende. Ich habe das selbst schon erlebt. Mal war ich es, die den Rückzug angetreten hat. Mal war es der andere. Hinter diesen Phänomenen steckt nichtverarbeitetes Trauma. Die Bildungslücke bezüglich Trauma in unserer Gesellschaft ist (gewollt) riesig.

Wir sind eine traumatisierte Gesellschaft, die nicht weiß, dass sie eine traumatisierte Gesellschaft ist.

Viele Menschen haben unverarbeitetes Trauma im Gepäck. Wir haben selbst nach Jahren der Therapie und Selbstreflektion immer noch unverarbeitete Anteile eines Traumas im Gepäck, das wir glaubten, bearbeitet zu haben. Mir ist das bewusst geworden, je besser ich mein eigenes Trauma kennen und lieben gelernt habe.

Eigentlich wollte ich heute kurz etwas über den gesunden Umgang mit Gefühlen schreiben. Beim Schreiben habe ich aber gemerkt, dass ich erstmal etwas über das Haus erzählen muss, bevor ich über die Gäste, die Gefühle, rede. Ich bin das Haus, das durch Verstand und Gefühle belebt wird. Und hinter dem Haus gibt es noch ein ganzes Universum, auf das ich heute nicht eingehen möchte.

Gefühle und Fühlen sind zentral wichtig, wenn man Trauma bearbeiten möchte.

Trauma wird solange aktiviert, bis es bearbeitet wurde.

In einer traumatisierten Gesellschaft wird 24/7 Trauma aktiviert. Und das ist gut so. Die Evolution schläft nicht. Die Evolution schenkt uns Schmerz, damit wir ihr Aufmerksamkeit schenken.

Das Leben liebt uns, und wiederkehrender Schmerz ist wie die Schlummerfunktion am Wecker, die möchte, dass wir aufwachen.

In unserer traumatisierten Gesellschaft klingelt momentan nicht nur der Wecker. Alles, was tönen kann, gibt Signal. Mir kommt es in dieser Zeit manchmal vor, wie wenn sich   gleichzeitig  , das Kinder-Sinfonieorchester mit sämtlichen Instrumenten einstimmt, jemand mit dem Handy telefoniert, das Fenster zur Hauptstraße offen steht, der Bus anfährt, der Auspuff röhrt, jemand hupt, das Martinshorn aufheult, die Drehorgel spielt, das Pausenzeichen in der Schule ertönt, es an der Tür klingelt und die Kirchenorgel aus allen Pfeifen flötet und brummt.  

Aktiviertes Trauma macht ordentlich Krach individuell und erst recht gesellschaftlich gesehen. Und je lauter es ist, desto dringender möchte es bearbeitet werden.

Die Baustelle HERZ zu bearbeiten, lohnt sich. Und Fühlen bringt die Verwandlung.

Push it! Push it! Push it!

That chant still echoes in my bones, not just from the gym, but from the inside out. I remember watching a bodybuilder once — the weight trembling above him, his muscles bulging and giving out, the spotters swooping in to catch the bar just in time. “Train to failure,” they said. “That’s how you grow.”

And it makes sense, doesn’t it? If you’re being chased by a wild beast, you run until your body gives out. That’s how we’re wired — to survive first and foremost, not necessarily to thrive.

But what if the house we’re building isn’t under threat from wolves? What if we’ve got stone-moving machines and time to breathe? What if we’re not being chased anymore… but we still act like we are?

See, survival patterns are sneaky. They wear masks. They show up in workouts and work days. They dress up in ambition, caffeine, and “just one more thing before I stop.”

I’ve never been a bodybuilder — my brother was — but I’ve tried that route in my own work life. Lift to failure. Push it. Every other day, I’d be nursing another injury to body and mind.

I wasn’t getting stronger. I was just breaking myself in cycles. Push, break, recover, repeat.

I see the same thing with brains. Push it. Adderall. More coffee. Keep going. Hit the wall. And then—collapse.

That’s not strengthening. That’s surviving pretending to be “powerful.”

What happens to the rest of your system when your brain is sucking up all the energy just to stay on task? You stop digesting. You stop feeling the sun on your skin. You stop enjoying your kids’ laughter. Everything feels like something to push through.

That isn’t thriving.

Thriving feels different. It’s alive, yes — there’s activation. But it’s not strained. When we’re in thriving mode, we’re with our energy, not yanking it out by the roots and forcing it to regrow. The muscles — or the mind — are engaged, fluid, expressive. Alive.

It’s a fine line. You can take the same exact action and fill it with stress.

I’ve done it. I’ve turned a perfectly normal task into a survival sprint. It feels ridiculous in hindsight — like, why did I make this email reply into a mountain climb?

Because my primitive brain still whispers, “If you don’t do this perfectly and fast, you’ll die.” Not literally. But the threat feels real. The imagined judgment, the self-criticism, the fear of not being enough — they’re imaginary lions in the tall grass of modern life.

I’ve used this system on myself. I’ve strained my nervous system like fingernails scraping rock to avoid a fall that was never coming.

That’s what we’re supposed to do, right? We bring survival force into every aspect. Into parenting. Into projects. Into relationships.

And we wonder why we’re tired all the time. Not sleepy tired — soul tired. That kind of tired that feels like you ran for your life… but all you did was sit at your desk.

Here’s what I know now: if you’re not actually in danger, you can stop living like you are.

You don’t have to push everything to the edge. You don’t have to prove your strength through strain. Strength can be alive in you — not torn, not depleted, but awake and sustaining.

And when we live from there, the recovery feels different, too. We’re not collapsing. We’re restoring.

We’re not dropping all the pieces and then forcing ourselves to pick them up… again! Instead, we’re crafting a thriving life from the pieces we find, fashion, and consciously put in place.

There’s a wisdom to building your foundation around thriving — not just surviving. And thriving starts with recognizing: it’s not life or death to get through your inbox. Your self-worth isn’t measured by how busy and depleted you are.

Look around. Are you stacking more and more iron to prove something? Or are you listening to the quiet whisper that says, “Yes, move… but don’t hurt yourself doing it.”

And in a life that tells you to push until you fail, choosing to rest and relish — choosing to feel alive rather than just alive-enough — might just be the truest strength there is.

Useful Concepts for Thriving in This Story

• Primitive Brain\ The primitive brain keeps us on high alert even when we’re safe — it’s time to question whether the lion is real.

• Unrushed\ Being unrushed is a radical shift from survival tempo to the rhythm of true aliveness.

• Savvy\ Savvy invites us to work with our energy wisely, not destructively — to choose thriving over proving.

• Vitality\ Vitality flows when we stop draining ourselves for performance and start living from inner strength.

• Inspired Action\ Inspired action arises from presence and aliveness, not adrenaline and depletion.

@ 8f69ac99:4f92f5fd

Há algo quase reconfortante na previsibilidade com que certos colunistas abordam Bitcoin: a cada oportunidade, repetem os mesmos chavões, reciclados com indignação moralista e embrulhados numa embalagem de falsa autoridade. O artigo publicado na Visão, com o título dramático "De criança prodígio a adolescente problemático", encaixa-se perfeitamente nesse molde.

Trata-se de uma peça de opinião que mistura factos irrelevantes com interpretações enviesadas, estatísticas sem contexto e um medo mal disfarçado de perder o monopólio da narrativa económica. A autora, Sofia Santos Machado, opta por colar em Bitcoin os desastres do chamado “mundo cripto” como se fossem parte do mesmo fenómeno — ignorando, por conveniência ou ignorância, que Bitcoin não é altcoins, não é NFTs, não é esquemas de yield exótico, e não é fintech vestida de blockchain.

Esta resposta centra-se exclusivamente em Bitcoin — um protocolo monetário aberto, incorruptível e resistente à censura, que já está a servir como salvaguarda de valor em regiões onde o sistema financeiro convencional falhou. Não me interessa defender pirâmides, tokens inflacionários ou aventuras bancárias mal calculadas.

Criticar Bitcoin é legítimo — mas fazê-lo sem saber do que se fala é apenas desinformação.

A Histeria da Água — Falar Sem Saber

O artigo abre com uma pérola alarmista sobre o consumo de água:

“Uma única transacção de bitcoin consome seis milhões de vezes mais água do que um pagamento com cartão.”

Seis. Milhões. De vezes. Resta saber se a autora escreveu isto com cara séria ou a rir-se enquanto bebia água engarrafada dos Alpes Suíços.

Fontes? Metodologia? Contexto? Estou a brincar — isto é a Visão, onde os números são decoração e os factos opcionais.

Claro que comparar transacções na camada base de Bitcoin com pagamentos "instantâneos" da rede Visa é tão rigoroso como comparar um Boeing 747 com um avião de papel porque um voa mais longe. Um artigo sério teria falado em batching, na Lightning Network, ou no facto de que Bitcoin nem sequer compete com a Visa nesse nível, nem em nenhum. Mas isso exigiria, imagine-se, investigação.

Pior ainda, não há qualquer menção ao consumo de água na extracção de ouro, nos data centers bancários, ou no treino de modelos de inteligência artificial. Pelos vistos, só Bitcoin tem de obedecer aos mandamentos ecológicos da Visão. O resto? Santa ignorância selectiva.

Criminosos e o Fantasma do Satoshi

Eis o clássico: “Bitcoin é usado por criminosos”. Um cliché bafiento tirado do baú de 2013, agora reapresentado como se fosse escândalo fresco.

Na realidade, Bitcoin é pseudónimo, não anónimo. Todas as transacções ficam gravadas num livro público — não é propriamente o esconderijo ideal para lavar dinheiro, a menos que sejas fã de disfarces em néon.

E os dados? Claríssimos. Segundo a Chainalysis e a Europol, a actividade ilícita com Bitcoin tem vindo a diminuir. Enquanto isso, os bancos — esses bastiões de confiança — continuam a ser apanhados a lavar biliões para cartéis e cleptocratas. Mas disso a Visão não fala. Devia estragar a narrativa.

O verdadeiro crime aqui é a preguiça intelectual tão profunda que quase merece uma moldura. A Visão tem um editor?

O Espantalho Energético

Como uma criança que acabou de aprender uma palavra nova, a Visão repete “consumo energético” como se fosse um pecado original. Bitcoin usa electricidade — escândalo!

Mas vejamos: o Proof-of-Work não é um defeito. É a razão pela qual Bitcoin é seguro. Não há “desperdício” — há uso, e muitas vezes com energia excedente, renovável, ou que de outro modo seria desperdiçada. É por isso que os mineiros se instalam junto a barragens remotas, queima de gás (flaring), ou parques eólicos no meio do nada — não porque odeiam o planeta, mas porque os incentivos económicos funcionam. Escrevi sobre isso aqui.

O que a Visão convenientemente ignora é que Bitcoin está a ajudar a integrar mais energia renovável nas redes, funcionando como carga flexível. Mas nuance? Trabalho de casa? Esquece lá isso.

Para uma explicação mais séria, podiam ter ouvido o podcast A Seita Bitcoin com o Daniel Batten. Mas para quê investigar?

Cripto = Bitcoin = Fraude?

Aqui chegamos ao buraco negro intelectual: enfiar tudo no mesmo saco. FTX colapsou? Culpa de Bitcoin. Um banqueiro jogou com altcoins? Culpa de Bitcoin. Scam de NFT? Deve ter sido o Satoshi.

Vamos esclarecer: Bitcoin não é “cripto”. Bitcoin é descentralizado, sem líderes, transparente. Não teve pré-mineração, não tem CEO, não promete lucros. O que o rodeia? Tokens centralizados, esquemas Ponzi, pirâmides e vaporware — precisamente o oposto do que Bitcoin representa.

Se um executivo bancário perde o dinheiro dos clientes em Dogecoins, isso é um problema dele. Bitcoin não lhe prometeu nada. Foi a ganância.

E convenhamos: os bancos tradicionais também colapsam. E não precisam de satoshis para isso. Bastam dívidas mal geridas, contabilidade criativa e uma fé cega no sistema.

Culpar Bitcoin por falcatruas “cripto” é como culpar o TCP/IP ou SMTP por emails de phishing. É preguiçoso, desonesto e diz-nos mais sobre a autora do que sobre a tecnologia.

Promessas Por Cumprir? Só Se Não Estiveres a Ver

A "jornalista" da Visão lamenta que “após 15 anos, os riscos são reais mas as promessas por cumprir”. Que promessas? Dinheiro grátis? Cafés pagos com QR codes mágicos?

Bitcoin nunca prometeu fazer cappuccinos mais rápidos. Prometeu soberania monetária, resistência à censura e um sistema previsível. E tem cumprido — diariamente, para milhões. E para o cappuccino, há sempre a Lightning Network.

Pergunta aos venezuelanos, nigerianos, peruanos ou argentinos se Bitcoin falhou. Para muitos, é a única forma de escapar à hiperinflação, ao confisco estatal e à decadência financeira.

Bitcoin não é uma app. É infra-estrutura. É uma nova camada base para o dinheiro global. Não se vê — mas protege, impõe regras e não obedece a caprichos de banqueiros centrais.

E isso assusta. Especialmente quem nunca viveu fora da bolha do euro.

Conclusão: A Visão a Gritar Contra o Progresso

No fim, o artigo da Visão é um festival de clichés, dados errados e ressentimento. Não é só enganador. É desonesto. Culpa a tecnologia pelos erros dos homens. Rejeita o futuro em nome do conforto passado.

Bitcoin não é uma varinha mágica. Mas é a fundação de uma nova liberdade financeira. Uma ferramenta para proteger valor, resistir a abusos e escapar ao controlo constante de quem acha que sabe o que é melhor para ti.

Portanto, fica aqui o desafio, Sofia: se queres criticar Bitcoin, primeiro percebe o que é. Lê o white paper. Estuda. Faz perguntas difíceis.

Caso contrário, és só mais um cão a ladrar para a trovoada — muito barulho, zero impacto.

Introduction

Bitcoin and torrents are two technologies that have reshaped how people share information and resources in the digital age. Both are built on decentralized principles and challenge traditional systems—torrents in the realm of file sharing, and Bitcoin in the world of finance. However, while torrents have seen a decline in popularity with the rise of streaming platforms like Netflix and HBO, many wonder whether Bitcoin will follow a similar trajectory or continue to grow as a widely adopted technology. This article explores the similarities between the two technologies, the resilience of torrents against attempts to shut them down, the reasons for their declining popularity, and why Bitcoin is likely to avoid a similar fate.

Similarities Between Torrents and Bitcoin

Torrents and Bitcoin share several key characteristics that make them unique and resilient:

1. Decentralization:\ Torrents rely on peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, where users share files directly with each other without depending on a central server. Similarly, Bitcoin operates on a blockchain—a decentralized network of nodes that maintain and validate transactions. This lack of a central authority makes both technologies difficult to control or shut down.

2. Censorship Resistance:\ Both systems are designed to withstand attempts at restriction. Torrents continue to function even when specific sites like The Pirate Bay are blocked, as the network relies on thousands of users worldwide. Bitcoin is also resistant to government bans, as transactions are processed by a global network of miners.

3. Anonymity and Pseudonymity:\ Torrents allow users to share files without revealing their identities, especially when using VPNs. Bitcoin, while pseudonymous (transactions are public but not directly tied to real-world identities), offers a similar level of privacy, attracting users seeking financial freedom.

4. Open Source:\ Both technologies are open-source, enabling developers to improve and adapt them. This fosters innovation and makes the systems more resilient to attacks.

Why Torrents Cannot Be Stopped

Torrents have persisted despite numerous attempts to curb them due to their decentralized nature. Governments and organizations have shut down sites like The Pirate Bay and Kickass Torrents, but new platforms quickly emerge. The key reasons for their resilience include:

• P2P Architecture:\ Torrents do not rely on a single server. Every user downloading or sharing a file becomes part of the network, making it impossible to completely dismantle.

• Global Distribution:\ Millions of users worldwide sustain torrent networks. Even if one country imposes strict regulations, others continue to support the system.

• Adaptability:\ The torrent community quickly adapts to challenges, using VPNs, proxy servers, or the dark web to bypass restrictions.

Despite this resilience, the popularity of torrents has significantly declined in recent years, particularly among younger users.

The Decline of Torrents: Why They Lost Popularity

In the early 2000s, torrents were the primary way to access movies, music, and software. They were easy to use, free, and offered a vast array of content. However, the rise of streaming platforms like Netflix, HBO, Disney+, and Spotify has changed how people consume media. The main reasons for the decline of torrents include:

1. Convenience:\ Streaming platforms provide instant access to high-quality content without the need for downloading or specialized software. Torrents, in contrast, require technical knowledge and are often slower.

2. Legality and Safety:\ Using torrents carries risks such as viruses, malware, and legal consequences. Streaming services offer a safe and legal alternative.

3. Marketing and Accessibility:\ Platforms like Netflix invest billions in original content and marketing, attracting younger users who prefer easy access over free but risky downloads.

4. Social Shifts:\ Younger generations, raised with access to subscription services, are often unfamiliar with torrents or view them as outdated. Studies from 2023 indicate that only a small percentage of people under 25 regularly use torrents.

Despite this decline, torrents have not disappeared entirely. They are still used in regions with limited access to streaming services or by users who value free access to niche content.

Why Bitcoin Will Not Share the Fate of Torrents

Despite the similarities, Bitcoin has unique characteristics that make it more likely to achieve mainstream adoption rather than being overshadowed by alternatives. Here are the key reasons:

1. Financial Revolution:\ Bitcoin addresses problems that lack direct alternatives. It enables transactions without intermediaries, which is particularly valuable in countries with unstable currencies or limited banking access. Unlike torrents, which were replaced by more convenient streaming platforms, traditional financial systems still have flaws that Bitcoin addresses.

2. Institutional Adoption:\ Major companies like Tesla, PayPal, and Square accept Bitcoin or invest in it. Financial institutions, including JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, are developing cryptocurrency-related products. This institutional acceptance boosts Bitcoin’s credibility and legitimacy, something torrents never achieved.

3. Limited Supply:\ Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins makes it attractive as a store of value, similar to gold. This characteristic distinguishes it from other technologies and gives it potential for long-term growth.

4. Technological Advancements:\ The Bitcoin network evolves through improvements like the Lightning Network, which makes transactions faster and cheaper. These innovations make it competitive with traditional payment systems, whereas torrents failed to adapt to streaming technologies.

5. Global Financial Integration:\ Unlike torrents, which remained in the niche of file sharing, Bitcoin has the potential to integrate into the global financial system. Countries like El Salvador have already recognized it as legal tender, and others may follow suit.

6. Cultural and Economic Significance:\ Bitcoin is perceived not only as a technology but also as a movement for financial independence and decentralization. This ideology attracts young people and tech enthusiasts, making it more resilient to the social shifts that affected torrents.

Conclusion

Torrents and Bitcoin share common roots as decentralized technologies that challenge the status quo. However, while torrents lost popularity due to the rise of more convenient and legal alternatives, Bitcoin has the potential to avoid this fate. Its ability to address real financial problems, institutional adoption, and technological advancements make it a likely candidate for mainstream use in the future. While torrents remained a niche technology, Bitcoin is emerging as a global force that could transform how the world perceives money.

There is an element called carifornium. Over years, there are informations that californium does not exist naturally on earth but can only be produced in the laboratory. But a man from Africa said otherwise and we will find out what the man said.

What is californium? Californium (Cf) is a synthetic radioactive, metallic element with the atomic number 98.

Oxford dictionary defines californium as a chemical element of atomic number 98, a radioactive metal of the actinide series first produced by the bombarding of curium with helium ions. *Take note of the bombarding of curium with helium ions.

According to research, californium is discovered in 1950 and it was named after the university of California and the state of California where the research first took place.

Research also said that californium was produced in the past when several nuclear reactors were in operation 2 billion years ago in Africa.

THERE ARE SOME VITAL PROPERTIES OF CALIFORNIUM. * Radioactive : all isotopes of californium are radioactive. * Actinide : californium belongs to the actinide series, a group of radioactive element with similar properties. * Synthetic : it does not occur naturally and it is produced in the laboratory. * Soft metal : it is soft, silver-white metal. * High melting point : it have a high melting point of about 900°C. * Good neutron source : it is strong neutron emitter, making it useful in various applications.

THERE ARE USES OF CALIFORNIUM

• Neutron Source: Its strong neutron emission makes it valuable as a neutron source in various applications.
• Neutron Activation Analysis: It's used to analyze the composition of materials by bombarding them with neutrons.
• Cancer Therapy: Some isotopes are used in radiation therapy for treating certain cancers.
• Detection Systems: It's used in portable metal detectors, for identifying gold and silver ores, and in detecting oil and water in wells.
• Neutron Radiography: It can be used in neutron radiography to visualize the inside of objects.

Californium also can serve as source of income, 1 gram of californium cost $27 million in market today and it take a thousand grams to make 1 kilogram. You can imagine the figures in monetize form.

About 3-4 years ago, a man by name RTD. HAMZA AL-MUSTAPHA. On a popular radio and TV show claims that californium are being mined and sold-out in Nigeria 🇳🇬.

With critical thinking and understanding, we will find out.

Jumping into the world of cybersecurity can feel like stepping into a hacker movie — full of commands, code, and dark terminals. As someone just starting this journey, I quickly realized there’s one thing I need to learn before anything else: Linux.

Linux vs Kali Linux: What’s the Difference?

At first, I thought all Linux systems were the same. But here’s what I discovered: • Linux (like Ubuntu or Mint) is a general-purpose operating system — great for beginners, developers, and daily use. • Kali Linux is a powerful tool built specifically for penetration testing and digital forensics. It’s packed with tools like Nmap, Wireshark, and Metasploit.

In short: Kali is for pros. Ubuntu is for learning. So, I started with Ubuntu — and trust me, it was the right call.

Why I’m Starting with Ubuntu

Like any “cybersecurity baby,” I knew I couldn’t jump straight into hacking tools without knowing the basics. With Ubuntu, I’m learning: • Terminal commands • File permissions • Networking tools like ping and netstat • How to install and manage software using apt

It’s not always easy, but every small win makes me feel closer to the goal.

Sharing My Journey

To keep myself motivated and connect with others on the same path, I tweeted this:

“Diving into Linux as a cybersecurity beginner — learning the terminal, commands, permissions, and networking basics. Every line I type gets me closer to mastering the tools behind ethical hacking. It’s tough, but I’m loving the grind. #Linux #CyberSecurity #HackerInTraining”

I even added a little networking spirit:

“Follow for follow — let’s grow in this journey together!”

Joining the Right Communities

Cybersecurity is not a solo game. Here are the communities I’ve joined to stay connected and supported: • TryHackMe Official Discord – Real-time help, study groups, and room support. • Beginner Rooms & Paths on TryHackMe – Great for step-by-step learning. • Reddit (r/tryhackme & r/cybersecurity) – Insightful threads and motivation. • Twitter/X and LinkedIn – Using hashtags like #TryHackMe and #100DaysOfHacking to stay inspired.

Final Thoughts

This is just the beginning. I’m learning Linux now so that I can confidently explore Kali Linux, digital forensics, ethical hacking, and everything in between.

If you’re on a similar path — let’s connect, learn, and grow together. The cyber world is waiting.

Liebe Abonnenten,

am Sonntag ging es im Essay „Das AGI-Project” um die geopolitischen Auswirkungen von künstlicher Intelligenz. Die USA und China befinden sich in einem Wettrennen, um die ökonomische und militärische Vorherrschaft. Das folgende Gespräch mit dem Künstler Künstler Snicklink dreht sich die konkreten Auswirkungen von KI auf unser Leben.

Snickling ist bereits zum zweiten Mal bei BlingBling zum Interview. Wer ihn noch nicht kennt, sollte das schnell nachholen. Spätestens seit 2023 ist der KI-Künstler einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit bekannt. Seine Videos sind oft messerscharfe Satire-Kunst, die mittels Collagen und DeepFakes den Irrsinn unserer Zeit auf den Punkt bringen. Hinter Snicklink steckt der Mensch und Berliner Künstler Willy Kramer, der immer wieder auch künstliche Intelligenz und die Zukunft der Menschen zum Thema hat.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThX3b5OSqUg

Willy, ich fand dein letztes Video beeindruckend gerade, weil es mal keine Satire war, sondern einen ernsten Ton hatte. Du sagst darin, dass kreative Arbeit bald vollständig von Künstlicher Intelligenz ersetzt werden könnte. Kannst du das jemandem erklären, der sich wenig mit KI auskennt? Was kommt da auf uns zu und warum?

Das ist eine große Frage. Ich betrachte das aus zwei Perspektiven: einer kreativen und einer gesellschaftlichen. Kreativ gesehen ist KI ein unglaublich mächtiges Werkzeug. Stell dir vor, ich könnte hundert Assistenten engagieren – oder ich nutze KI-Tools, die günstiger, schneller und oft präziser sind. Das ist die praktische Seite. Gesellschaftlich und technologisch geht es um viel mehr als nur Kunst oder einzelne Projekte. KI ist eine Entwicklung, die ich mit der Entdeckung des Feuers oder der Öffnung der Büchse der Pandora vergleiche. Das klingt dramatisch, aber ich übertreibe nicht. Ich beschäftige mich seit zehn Jahren intensiv mit dem Thema. Am Anfang war es spekulativ, und ich hatte kaum Gesprächspartner. Google und ein paar kleinere Firmen fingen gerade an, KI zu erforschen. Ich habe Workshops gegeben, aber viele hielten mich für einen Spinner. Trotzdem war mir klar, wohin das führt.

Vor zehn Jahren habe ich ein Video namens Emphasized Prophecy gemacht: Ein Typ sitzt am Strand, mit einem leeren Schreibtisch und einer kleinen Box, und erstellt per Sprachbefehl eine multimediale Kampagne. Heute, zehn Jahre später, arbeite ich mit einem Setup, das genau das ermöglicht – und noch mehr.

Welche Tools nutzt du konkret? Du bist ja schon tief in der praktischen Anwendung von KI.

Ich bin kein Programmierer, der stundenlang Skripte schreibt, aber ich bin ziemlich involviert. Alles begann so richtig mit dem „ChatGPT-Moment“ vor zweieinhalb Jahren, als plötzlich alle die Möglichkeiten von KI erkannten. Inzwischen nutze ich eine Suite aus etwa 200 verschiedenen Plugins und Services. Früher gab es spezialisierte KI für spezifische Aufgaben, etwa für den Stimmklang oder die „Deutschheit“ einer Stimme. Heute werden die Modelle größer und vielseitiger. Man braucht nur noch ein oder zwei Modelle, die Stimmen, Bilder, Videos und sogar Programmierung abdecken. Bald wird es ein einziges, universelles Modell geben.

Wir befinden uns in einem globalen Wettlauf, vor allem zwischen den USA und China. Jeder will das eine Modell entwickeln, das alle kreativen und administrativen Aufgaben erledigt – ähnlich wie Google damals die Suche revolutionierte.

Welche Benutzeroberfläche oder Tools wie Grok, ChatGPT setzen sich durch?

Jede Plattform hat ihre Stärken. Grok zum Beispiel hat direkten Zugriff auf Social-Media-Daten, was ein Vorteil ist. OpenAI hingegen punktet mit ausgefeilten Denkmodellen. Es ist wie bei einem Basketballteam: Der eine spielt stark in der Verteidigung, der andere wirft präzise Dreier. Für 99 Prozent der Nutzer macht das keinen Unterschied. Ob du mit ChatGPT einen Liebesbrief, einen Finanzamtsbrief oder psychologische Beratung formulierst – die Unterschiede sind marginal. Die Technologie entwickelt sich so rasant, dass wir alle paar Monate völlig neue Möglichkeiten bekommen, die im Alltag direkt nutzbar sind und Dinge ermöglichen, die vorher undenkbar waren.

Du hast erwähnt, dass der nächste Schritt KI-Agenten sein könnten, die untereinander kommunizieren. Kannst du das ausführen?

Stell dir die Digitalisierung wie die Erfindung des Rades vor: Es war ein Fortschritt, aber es waren nur Fahrräder. Jetzt kommt die Dampfmaschine – KI-Agenten sind die nächsten „Fahrzeuge“. Diese Agenten nutzen Sprachbefehle nicht nur, um Antworten zu geben, sondern um komplexe Aufgaben zu lösen: Kampagnen erstellen, Finanzberichte schreiben, Fünfjahrespläne für Patienten basierend auf den besten Forschungspapieren entwickeln. Aktuell braucht man noch Know-how, um die richtigen Anweisungen zu geben. Bald wird das überflüssig, weil KI dein Profil kennt und mit einem einfachen „Go“ alles erledigt – von der Suche nach der nächsten Apotheke bis zur Planung einer Operation.

Heißt das, wir steuern auf eine Überflussgesellschaft zu?

Das ist die Utopie, ja. KI kann eine Welt schaffen, in der es keinen Mangel mehr gibt – alles ist verfügbar, erschwinglich oder sogar kostenlos. Niemand hat mehr materielle oder körperliche Sorgen. Aber das bringt neue Herausforderungen: Wie gehen wir als Menschen damit um? Unsere Gesellschaft definiert Wert über Status, Arbeit, Besitz. Wenn das wegfällt, weil nur noch fünf Prozent der Menschen arbeiten, müssen wir uns neu erfinden. Wir brauchen eine Postleistungsgesellschaft, in der Kreativität, Freundlichkeit oder vielleicht Spiritualität den Ton angeben.

Das klingt nach einem Verteilungsproblem. Muss da nicht massiv umverteilt werden?

Das ganze Interview gibt es hier zu lesen: https://blingbling.substack.com/p/eine-welt-ohne-mangel

Im digitalen Zeitalter wird der Schutz der Privatsphäre immer wichtiger. Unabhängig davon, ob es sich um eine Regierungsbehörde, ein Unternehmen oder eine Einzelperson handelt, besteht für alle das Risiko, abgehört oder verfolgt zu werden. Mobiltelefone, WLAN, GPS und UHF-Geräte (Ultrahochfrequenz) können zu Werkzeugen für Hacker oder Überwachungsgeräte werden. Um diesen Bedrohungen entgegenzuwirken, sind Signalstörsender (wie etwa Tragbare Handyblocker, WLAN-Störsender, GPS-Störsender und UHF-Störsender) zu einem wirksamen Mittel zum Schutz der Privatsphäre geworden. In diesem Artikel werden die verschiedenen Arten von Störsendern erläutert, wie sie funktionieren und wie man sie legal und angemessen einsetzt, um Abhören und Tracking zu verhindern.

---

1. Was ist ein Signalstörsender?

Ein Signalstörsender ist ein elektronisches Gerät, das die Kommunikationssignale eines Zielgeräts durch die Aussendung von Radiowellen einer bestimmten Frequenz stört oder blockiert. Es kann Mobiltelefonanrufe, WLAN-Verbindungen, GPS-Positionierung oder UHF-Signalübertragungen blockieren, um Abhören oder Tracking zu verhindern.

Das Funktionsprinzip eines Störsenders besteht darin, ein Rauschsignal mit hoher Intensität an das Zielfrequenzband zu senden, wodurch es für das empfangende Gerät unmöglich wird, das ursprüngliche Signal richtig zu interpretieren. Beispielsweise blockiert ein Handy-Störsender die Kommunikation zwischen einem Handy und einer Basisstation, sodass mit dem Handy weder Anrufe getätigt noch Textnachrichten empfangen werden können.

---

2. Gängige Arten von Signalstörern

(1) Handy-Störsender

Tragbare störsender für handy werden hauptsächlich verwendet, um GSM-, 3G UMTS-, 4G- und 5G-Signale zu blockieren. Es kann verhindern, dass das Telefon überwacht oder geortet wird und eignet sich für die folgenden Szenarien:

• Abhören verhindern: Verhindern Sie, dass das Mikrofon Ihres Telefons während wichtiger Besprechungen oder privater Gespräche aus der Ferne aktiviert wird.
• Anti-Tracking: Blockieren Sie die GPS- und Mobilfunknetzortung, um die Verfolgung durch Malware oder Hacker zu verhindern.
• Prävention von Prüfungsbetrug: Wird in Schulen oder Prüfungssälen verwendet, um zu verhindern, dass Kandidaten mit Mobiltelefonen schummeln.

(2) WLAN-Störsender

WLAN-Störsender können drahtlose Netzwerksignale in den Frequenzbändern 2,4 GHz und 5 GHz blockieren und eignen sich für:

• Hacking verhindern: Blockieren Sie WLAN-Signale in der Nähe, um Datendiebstahl zu verhindern.
• Smart-Home-Geräte schützen: Verhindern Sie die Fernsteuerung von Smart-Kameras, Lautsprechern und anderen Geräten.
• Militärische oder staatliche vertrauliche Bereiche: Verhindern Sie, dass durch drahtlose Signale vertrauliche Informationen preisgegeben werden.

(3) GPS-Störsender

GPS-Störsender können Satellitenpositionierungssignale blockieren, um die Verfolgung von Fahrzeugen oder Mobiltelefonen zu verhindern. Sie eignen sich für:

• Schützen Sie Ihre Privatsphäre: Verhindern Sie, dass Mitfahrdienste, Essenslieferdienste oder Malware Ihren Aufenthaltsort aufzeichnen.
• Militärische Nutzung: Verhindern, dass Drohnen oder Raketen für ihren Angriff auf GPS-Navigation angewiesen sind.
• Anti-Aufklärung: Verhindern Sie Wirtschaftsspionage oder die Verfolgung von Logistikfahrzeugen durch Wettbewerber.

(4) UHF-Störsender

UHF Jammer (Ultra High Frequency) werden hauptsächlich verwendet, um drahtlose Kommunikation im Frequenzband von 300 MHz bis 3 GHz zu blockieren, wie z. B. Walkie-Talkies, drahtlose Mikrofone, RFID usw. und eignen sich für:

• Verhindern Sie drahtloses Abhören: Blockieren Sie drahtlose Abhörgeräte, die von Spionen verwendet werden.
• RFID-Daten schützen: Verhindern Sie das illegale Scannen von Kreditkarten oder Zugangskarten.
• Anti-Drohnen-Störsender: Blockiert die Fernbedienungssignale von Drohnen, um zu verhindern, dass sie sich sensiblen Bereichen nähern.

---

3. Wie verwendet man Signalstörsender richtig, um die Privatsphäre zu schützen?

Obwohl Störsender das Abhören und Verfolgen wirksam verhindern können, kann eine unsachgemäße Verwendung gegen das Gesetz verstoßen oder die normale Kommunikation beeinträchtigen. Hier sind einige Vorschläge für den legalen und sinnvollen Einsatz von Störsendern:

(1) Verstehen Sie die örtlichen Gesetze

• In vielen Ländern ist die unbefugte Verwendung von Störsendern illegal und kann zu Geldstrafen oder strafrechtlichen Konsequenzen führen.
• Nur zur Verwendung im privaten Bereich oder dort, wo dies gesetzlich zulässig ist, z. B. beim Militär, in der Regierung oder bei der Unternehmenssicherheit.

(2) Wählen Sie den entsprechenden Störbereich

• WLAN Signal Blocker mit geringer Leistung eignen sich für kleine Besprechungsräume oder Fahrzeuge, um die Kommunikation in der Umgebung nicht zu beeinträchtigen.
• In großen Veranstaltungsorten können Störsender mit hoher Leistung eingesetzt werden, dabei ist jedoch Vorsicht geboten, um die öffentliche Kommunikation nicht zu stören.

(3) Kombiniert mit anderen Sicherheitsmaßnahmen

• Störsender sind nur eine vorübergehende Lösung. Für einen langfristigen Schutz der Privatsphäre ist die Verwendung verschlüsselter Kommunikation, VPNs, Abhörgeräte usw. erforderlich.

(4) Regelmäßige Überprüfung der Ausrüstung

• Störsender können aufgrund von Änderungen der Signalstärke unwirksam werden und müssen regelmäßig getestet und angepasst werden.

---

4. Einschränkungen von Störsendern

Obwohl Störsender Signale wirksam blockieren können, unterliegen sie dennoch einigen Einschränkungen:

• Verhindert kein kabelgebundenes Abhören: Störsender wirken nur gegen drahtlose Signale und schützen nicht vor physischen Abhörgeräten (wie versteckten Mikrofonen).
• Kann legitime Kommunikation beeinträchtigen: Störsender blockieren wahllos Signale, was Notrufe oder die normale WLAN-Nutzung beeinträchtigen kann.
• Kann durch Anti-Jamming-Technologie geknackt werden: Einige fortschrittliche Geräte verwenden möglicherweise Frequenzsprungtechnologie (z. B. militärische Kommunikation), die von gewöhnlichen Störsendern nur schwer vollständig blockiert werden kann.

---

5. Alternativen: Sicherere Methoden zum Schutz der Privatsphäre

Wenn der Einsatz von Auto GPS Tracker Störsender eingeschränkt ist, ziehen Sie die folgenden Alternativen in Betracht:

• Verwenden Sie einen Faradayschen Käfig: Eine metallische Abschirmhülle oder ein Raum, der drahtlose Signale vollständig blockiert.
• Flugmodus aktivieren: Durch das Ausschalten der drahtlosen Mobiltelefonkommunikation wird die Fernaktivierung des Mikrofons verhindert.
• Verwenden Sie verschlüsselte Kommunikationstools: z. B. Anwendungen mit End-to-End-Verschlüsselung wie Signal, ProtonMail usw.

---

abschließend

Ein Signalstörsender ist ein leistungsstarkes Tool zum Schutz der Privatsphäre, das das Abhören von Mobiltelefonen, WLAN-Hacking, GPS-Tracking und UHF-Überwachung wirksam verhindern kann. Allerdings ist die Verwendung gesetzlich eingeschränkt und sollte mit Vorsicht verwendet werden. Durch die Kombination von Störsendern mit anderen Sicherheitsmaßnahmen (wie verschlüsselter Kommunikation und physischer Abschirmung) kann die Privatsphäre im Rahmen des gesetzlich Gegebenen weitestgehend vor Verletzungen geschützt werden. Mit der Entwicklung von Technologien zum Abhören von Störsendern könnten diese in Zukunft intelligenter und präziser werden und sich zu einem wichtigen Mittel zum Schutz der Privatsphäre entwickeln.

This article is a repost, migrating from Substack

Uncertainty is the only constant

It goes without saying that uncertainty is a given in business. It could be the weather, pestilence, or some other physical phenomenon that brings different conditions for your business (good or bad). Or it could be uncertainty in the behaviour of consumers, suppliers, workers, or any other person critical to your success. Most of the time, we just don’t know what will happen next.

One of the most important skills in managing a business, then, is making predictions in the face of uncertainty. We have several tools to do so. The first covers methods from the physical sciences, and involves calculating the frequency of events. We need to unpick a concept at the root of uncertainty, probability.

Types of probability

In Human Action, Ludwig von Mises introduces us to two classifications of probability: case and class probability.

Case probability

Case probability is when we know something about some of the factors which determine the outcome, but not others.

This is the kind of probability most often encountered in business. We often know small key parts about several factors that lead to a particular outcome, we might see that oil prices have risen significantly, coupled with a decrease in the exchange rate. These factors help to lead to the outcome of a rising price of fertiliser. But then, there are other factors that lead to this outcome, such as a myriad of decisions by businesspeople all along the supply chain. These, we know absolutely nothing about!

Class probability

Class probability is when we know everything about the particular kind (or class) of event, but we don’t know anything at all about the specific event.

We do encounter class probability in business. But it happens at very specific times (as opposed to just all the time, as with case probability).

Myrtle rust, picture courtesy of NZ Department of Conservation

For example (and sticking to agriculture) we know nothing about an outbreak of Myrtle rust on our farm. But we know, from agricultural science, that the likelihood of an outbreak in our area for a given year is about 13 percent.

So how can we make predictions of these events?

Making predictions

For the latter (class probabilities, like losses caused by Myrtle rust) we can always rely on methods from the physical sciences to calculate frequencies. Then, we know that the physical world has certain constants, so we can say that given a set of conditions (like rainfall) the likelihood of losses from Myrtle rust in future is about 12 percent.

Thinking about the former (case probabilities such as changing consumer preferences, or changes in prices). In these situations we are dealing with the realm of human decisions. So while we can count the number of these events, we cannot use these counts for prediction. The reason is that, in the realm of human decisions, there are no constants. We can’t say that given the world of 2023 prices rose five times, therefore in the world of 2027 prices will rise five times. Even if physical conditions are the same, human decisions will not be.

Luckily, economic science does give us an answer. In dealing with case probabilities we should use our method of understanding (which I wrote about here).

Using this in your business

You can incorporate this knowledge into your business by critically analysing each event for which you need to make a prediction. Is the event dealing with the physical world, for which there are constants? Or is it the realm of human decisions, for which there are no constants? It most likely is a mix of these.

Work backwards and jot down the more granular events which compose the event in question. Then try again to fit each of these into case or class probability.

When each event is broken down into only one category you know which methods of prediction to apply to each event.

For case probabilities, engage a specialist in the area. For class probabilities, engage your own expertise in understanding, and consider hiring an economist to augment your analysis.

Value Creation at the Edge

The conversation around artificial intelligence has largely centered on the technology itself, the capabilities of large language models, the race for more parameters, and the competition between AI companies.

He with the most data / biggest model / biggest platform wins all.

As we're been exploring in recent "Good Stuff" podcasts, the true business model of AI may be much more straightforward. AI is after all a productivity tool with little technical moat, in fact the existence of AI coding and learning tools quickly chop away at this moat even quicker!.\ \ We believe that the it's about transforming traditional human heavy businesses by dramatically reducing operational costs while maintaining or increasing output.

AI is poised to create value not primarily for AI companies themselves, but for businesses that effectively implement AI to transform their operations, particularly small, local businesses that can become extraordinarily efficient through AI adoption.

The Value Shift: From AI Companies to AI-Enabled Traditional Businesses

A central insight from episode 1 of the podcast series, is that the value of AI isn't likely to accrue primarily to companies like OpenAI or other AI technology providers. Instead, the real winners will be traditional service businesses that can leverage AI to transform their operations and cost structures.

"I think we're gonna see this shift to traditional service businesses... that traditionally have pretty fixed low margins because of a dependency on language-heavy workflows that require a lot of humans as the medium of intelligence in the business."

The opportunity here is to use AI to manage the language dependency and shift the moments of intelligence, that currently exist in the heads of our staff, into software that can run 24x7 for fractions of a cost.\ \ The real limiting factor here is less a magic AGI, but instead detailed thinking and process redesign to move humans to the edge of the process. As it turns out if we think through what each person is doing in detail we see the specific decisions, outputs, moments of intelligence are actually quite constrained and can be replicated in LLM's if we break them down to a low enough level of fidelity and take each decisions one step at a time.\ \ The result? Businesses that have traditionally operated with fixed, low margins can potentially achieve "software-style margins" by dramatically reducing their operational expenses.

Transforming Traditional Service Businesses

We have developed three key heuristics for identifying businesses that could benefit most from AI transformation:

1. Language Intensity: Businesses where much of the work involves processing language (reading, writing, communicating). Language in, language out. If you are sat in a chair and typing all day, this could be you.

2. Labor Component: Where we see this language intensity so we find many people performing similar, standardized roles. For examples, if we have four people in the same role this is a big clue we have good process, checklists, role descriptions etc for how the work can be done in order to replicate work across multiple people.

3. Load in the Business: Taking these processes into account, what amount of the operational expense of the business do they represent? Where these language and labor-intensive operations represent a significant portion of the business cost, we can see there will be significant return.

Traditional service businesses that match these criteria—legal firms, accounting practices, consulting agencies, contract engineering, design agencies and others—could see dramatic transformations through AI implementation.

By automating these language-heavy processes, businesses can potentially reduce operational costs by 50-80% while maintaining similar levels of output.

The Power of Small

We believe that small businesses may have an inherent advantage in this transformation. While large enterprises face significant barriers to reducing their workforce (political pressure, media scrutiny, organizational complexity), smaller businesses can adapt more quickly and focus on growth rather than just cost-cutting.

If I'm in a 20,000 person business and I need to remove 10,000 people... that's hard. You can't do this without sending political shock waves in your local community.

If I'm a 10 person business and I need to double my revenue, nobody gives a shit. I can just do it.

For small businesses, AI removes growth constraints. When adding the "21st person" no longer represents a significant capital investment, small businesses can scale much more efficiently:

If the next nominal client that you onboard doesn't actually cause you any more additional pain, if you don't need to hire more people to service that client... you just take off the brakes off from a growth perspective.

This gives small business a unique advantage in capitalizing on AI.

From "Bionic Humans" to "Humans at the Edge"

We currently see this integration to business happening in one of two models:

1. The Bionic Human: Equipping workers with AI tools to make them more productive.

2. Human at the Edge: Redesigning processes to be AI-native, with humans entering the process only when needed (and often facilitated by bitcoin payments).

While many businesses are focused on the first approach and it can certainly see returns, it is still a process constrained by the human input. The real value unlock comes from fundamentally redesigning business processes with AI at the core.

Now we can purchase intelligence in buckets of $0.02 API calls, how would we operate different?

This represents a profound shift in how we think about work and processes. Rather than humans being central to processes with tools supporting them, AI becomes the backbone of operations with humans providing input only at critical junctures.

This is "a complete mental shift" that challenges our fundamental assumptions about how businesses operate. The human becomes "the interface with the real world" for AI systems rather than the primary processor of information and decision-maker.

The Value Trap: Understanding the Competitive Dynamic

So what happens next? Here we have developed the concept of the Value Trap to explain how the competitive landscape will evolve as AI adoption increases..\ \

Initially, early adopters of AI and "Human at the Edge" business processes, will see dramatic benefits.

If your costs have dropped from 90 to 20 this creates an immediate competitive advantage where the early adopter is "now making 80 units of profit versus your 10 units of profit.

They gain massive pricing power in the industry and can compete for growth with an unfair advantage.

Over time, and here we believe this is likely a 5-10 year period although we believe the quicker side, competitive pressures will erode these advantages.\ \ As competitors adopt similar AI strategies, price competition will intensify, and revenues will decline. The business that initially saw its costs drop from 90 to 20 units might see its revenue decline from 100 to 30 units, resulting in similar margins but much lower overall revenue, often destroying the enterprise value of the company at these new revenue / profit levels!

This evolution creates an imperative for businesses to adopt AI early, not just to maintain perpetual advantage, but simply to survive the transition. Worse they're hit with a second challenge of the value trap, how do I keep hold of the value I generate along the way.\ \ If you're reading this on Nostr you may already suspect a way out of this value trap.\ \ If not I would invite you to consider storing the immediate short term returns you pull forwards in something that would be inflation resistant, hard to seize and ideally portable.\ \ We refer to this as a 'The big orange arbitrage".

Implications for Business Owners and Capital Allocators

For business owners, especially those running small to medium-sized enterprises, the message is clear: understand how AI could transform your industry and begin planning your transition now.\ \ This might involve creating an "AI-native twin" of your current business—similar to how Netflix developed streaming alongside its DVD business—to eventually replace your current operations. If you want help please ask, I heavily favor more small businesses in the world and would love to help make this a reality.

For capital allocation, the emerging opportunity we see if in "transformation led private equity". The acquisition of traditional service businesses and applying AI to dramatically reduce operational costs and increase enterprise value.\ \ This approach treats AI not as a product but as a transformation strategy for existing businesses with proven product-market fit.

Transformation led PE is venture style returns without the risk of product market fit.

So the lesson?

The business model of AI isn't all about selling AI technology, adding a RAG chatbot to a new DB or collecting everyone's data.\ \ Consider the humble cash flow business, use AI to transform the operational processes and save into everyone's favorite orange coin.

Introduction

Released in November 2020 by fiatjaf, Nostr is an open, decentralised, censorship-resistant messaging protocol. The protocol is well designed, and many authors have written extensively about the mechanics and use-cases. For the purposes of this article, I will narrow the focus to Nostr as a tool to enable the creation of platform markets. My aim is to give the reader an introduction to platform market pricing and provide concrete steps to price their platform strategically.

What is a Platform Market?

A platform market consists of multiple groups of users who want to interact but can’t do so directly. The platform brings them together to enable interaction, benefiting all users and the platform itself by enabling these interactions and pricing appropriately. Although platform markets have been around forever, the last decade has seen an explosion in their number due to the ubiquity of the internet.

Examples:

·         Google

·         YouTube

·         TV

·         Facebook

·         Twitter (X)

Platform markets have historically earned significant revenue if they design their pricing correctly. This is because platform markets don’t need to produce goods themselves; rather, one or more “sides” of the platform produce goods and services for the other side, with the platform merely enabling the exchange. TikTok is a prime example: it produces nothing except a video hosting service, with users generating all the content for other users. Effectively, the platform has only fixed costs and very low marginal costs.

Therefore, platform markets are far more scalable than traditional one-sided markets, as their primary concern is to attract as many users as possible (who have no marginal cost to the platform). Additionally, platforms often enjoy a captive audience, making it difficult for competitors to entice away users once they are established. This is particularly evident in software and payment platforms.

How Does Nostr Enable the Creation of Platform Markets?

·         Open Protocol: Like the internet, Nostr is an open protocol.

·         Inbuilt Payment Systems: Nostr integrates payment systems such as Bitcoin’s Lightning Network.

·         Existing User Base: It already has a growing user base.

·         Decentralisation: This feature acts as a moat against competitors.

Types of platform enabled by Nostr

As of 2024 we are seeing multiple types of platforms that Nostr has enabled. The first is Nostr relays. A Nostr relay is a simple server that receives and broadcasts user notes (messages) in the Nostr protocol. Users can publish and fetch notes across multiple relays. Nostr relays can be configured by their operator to curate content on specific topics or people. Alternatively, they can be configured with an algorithm as experienced by users of contemporary social media. These can be valuable for users. And potentially, paid relays are a viable business opportunity.

The second platform Nostr enables is the Nostr client. Nostr clients are analogous to internet browser software. Historically, we have seen users be charged to install an internet browser, though this is unlikely to emerge in the market for Nostr clients. As a platform, a Nostr client might be bundled with a relay service (with curation or algorithm).

The third type of platform is Nostr apps. Each app can be designed as a platform if that is valuable for users. We are already seeing Nostr-based alternatives for music and video streaming, looking to compete with apps like YouTube.

We can’t know what the future will hold but the possibilities for designing platforms with Nostr are many. The advantage in designing a platform is that you can create a two sided market.

What is a Two-Sided Market?

All two-sided markets are platform markets, but not all platform markets are two-sided markets. The critical aspect of a two-sided market is that the volume of interactions on the platform depends on both the relative prices charged to each side and the total price charged. This is the case when both sides value more users on the other side, known in literature as an “indirect network externality.”

An example of a one-sided platform market is a clothes retailer, where the volume of sales depends only on the total price, not the relative prices charged to buyers and producers. Conversely, YouTube is a two-sided market where both creators and watchers benefit from more users. Watchers benefit from more variety and quality, while creators benefit from more users and views. YouTube introduces a special category of creators, the advertisers, who benefit monetarily from views because consumers viewing their content are likely to purchase their goods.

The prices paid by YouTube users are not all monetary:

·         Watchers are charged an inconvenience fee in the form of advertisements.

·         Advertisers are charged a monetary fee.

·         Creators are not charged any fees.

Let’s assume the total fees for YouTube add up to $100. Say advertisers are charged $90, watchers face an inconvenience worth $10, and creators still enjoy $0 costs. In this scenario, the total volume of videos watched might be some number like 100,000.

Assume we change the price structure to advertisers being charged $80, watchers paying an inconvenience worth $10, and creators being charged $10 (keeping the total fees at $100). In this new scenario, the likely outcome is that the marginal creator will no longer create videos, and thus, the total volume of videos watched will fall.

Two-Sided Markets that Allow Money Exchange

The key to understanding Nostr’s value lies in its inbuilt payment mechanism—Bitcoin’s Lightning Network protocol. Although this protocol is not part of the Nostr codebase, the existing Nostr clients incorporate it to allow users to pay each other bitcoin with a simple user interface. This means that Nostr as a protocol is ideal for creating platforms where users can exchange monetary value. The mechanics and design choices of the Lightning network further augment Nostr’s value proposition more so than traditional payment systems like credit cards, PayPal, etc.

Key Problem: Chicken and Egg

So far, we have established that platform markets enable at least two groups of users to come together and exchange. The primary problem is that both groups will only use the platform if the other group is already using it, creating a classic chicken and egg scenario. Platforms operate by bringing groups of users together, making users reticent to switch to a new platform because they don’t know if the other users will be there. This gives existing platforms enormous power.

Guy Swann sums this up well in this Nostr note: note1695j0czewtkfwy7h4ne7k2ug706uwc7lendsq50prsfp8vwq8nfszdx4z7.

Competing with Existing Platforms: Divide and Conquer!

To compete with existing platforms, you need to divide and conquer. The original formulation for this strategy is given in both Caillaud and Jullien (2003) and Armstrong (2006). To take advantage of the indirect network externalities identified earlier, the divide and conquer strategy involves subsidising one side of the market to attract a large user base (the "divide" part) and then monetising the other side of the market (the "conquer" part).

Divide: Attract one side of the market by offering lower prices or subsidies. For example, offer free registration to one side. This subsidy is essential to kickstart the network effects, as a larger user base on one side increases the platform’s attractiveness to the other side. This was observed in the early days of YouTube, which was free for both creators and watchers.

Conquer: Once a substantial user base is established on the subsidised side, charge higher fees on the other side of the market. This can be seen in contemporary YouTube, where advertisers (a specific kind of creator) pay fees, and watchers deal with the inconvenience of watching ads (inconvenience is a non-price fee).

Implementing This Strategy in Your Platform:

So who are are you dividing, who are you conquering? Deciding which side to subsidise involves understanding which side offers more benefit to the other side. For example, in nightclubs (Wright, 2004), men and women go to interact. Men are assumed to gain more from each woman’s presence than vice versa, so nightclubs often subsidise women with free entry or drinks to attract men.

First, consider all your user groups. What brings them to your platform, what do they want to gain by interacting with the other user groups.

Think about, and identify, which group confers more value for the other group by being on the platform.

Then, think about how you can subsidise that user group. Free access is common. But Nostr allows seamless payment integration which encourages users to exchange money. A potential model for your platform could be that you charge a fee to both users based on how much value they send to each other. One way to subsidise users in this case is to reduce those fees.

Alternatively, you could pay users to join your platform using Nostr’s integration with the Lightning Network.

Technológiai fejlemények

Az Egyesült Államokban és világszerte jelentős előrelépések történtek a nukleáris technológia területén. A mesterséges intelligencia (AI) egyre nagyobb szerepet kap az atomerőművek működtetésében: például a kaliforniai Diablo Canyon atomerőmű már alkalmaz generatív AI-t a dokumentumkezelés és az üzemeltetési hatékonyság javítására. Az AI segíti az üzemeltetőket a karbantartás előrejelzésében, a biztonság növelésében és a reaktorok élettartamának meghosszabbításában is. Emellett az USA Nukleáris Szabályozó Bizottsága (NRC) is vizsgálja, hogyan gyorsíthatná fel az engedélyezési folyamatokat AI-alapú rendszerekkel, ami jelentősen felgyorsíthatja az új reaktorok telepítését.

A NANO Nuclear Energy jelentős mérföldkövet ért el: megszerezte a KRONOS MMR™ (45 MWth teljesítményű, helyhez kötött mikroreaktor) és a LOKI MMR™ (1–5 MWth teljesítményű, hordozható mikroreaktor) technológiákat, és ezek fejlesztését az USA-ban és Kanadában is előmozdítja. A KRONOS MMR üzemanyag-minősítési módszertanát az NRC már jóváhagyta, ami kulcsfontosságú a kereskedelmi bevezetéshez

Ipari és piaci fejlemények

Az amerikai The Nuclear Company startup 46 millió dolláros tőkebevonással kívánja új, nagy teljesítményű atomerőművek fejlesztését megkezdeni, elsősorban már engedélyezett helyszíneken. A cél, hogy az első flottában összesen 6 gigawatt kapacitást hozzanak létre. Ez a lépés válasz a gyorsan növekvő amerikai áramigényre, amelyet főként az adatközpontok és a mesterséges intelligencia-alkalmazások hajtanak. Ugyanakkor a nukleáris ipar pénzügyi kilátásait bizonytalanság övezi, mivel az amerikai törvényhozás egyes tervezetei a nukleáris energia adókedvezményeinek megszüntetését is kilátásba helyezték, ami a jövőbeni beruházások megtérülését is befolyásolhatja.

Belgiumban a parlament váratlan fordulattal úgy döntött, hogy nem zárják be az atomerőműveket, hanem tíz évvel meghosszabbítják a reaktorok élettartamát, sőt, új reaktorok építését is tervezik. A döntés mögött az energiaválság, az ellátásbiztonság és a geopolitikai feszültségek állnak.

Magyarországon folytatódik a Paks II. projekt előkészítése, és napirenden van kis moduláris reaktorok (SMR) telepítése is, amelyek néhány száz megawattos teljesítményükkel akár ipari zónákat vagy városokat is önállóan elláthatnak.

Pénzügyi és geopolitikai aktualitások

A nukleáris energia geopolitikai jelentősége továbbra is kiemelkedő. Tajvan szombaton leállítja utolsó működő atomerőművi blokkját, ami jelentős LNG-import költségnövekedést eredményez, és komoly vitákat váltott ki a szigetországban. A törvényhozás ugyanakkor már vizsgálja az atomenergia-törvény felülvizsgálatát, amely lehetővé teheti a reaktorok újraindítását – erről akár népszavazás is lehet a közeljövőben.

Az USA és Irán között folytatódnak az atomprogramról szóló tárgyalások. Bár közelednek az álláspontok, az USA új szankciókat vezetett be Irán ellen, mivel Teherán továbbra is magas szintű urándúsítást folytat. Az esetleges megállapodás rövid távon növelheti az iráni kőolajexportot, ami a világpiaci árakra is hatással lehet.
