2025-05-28 16:37:36ðĪ Generation X: Between Invisibility and Structural Disillusionment\ Generation X, born between 1965 and 1980, has been largely sidelined in generational discourse. Unlike the baby boomers âsymbols of stability and prosperityâ or millennials and Gen Z âconstant fixtures in the media and cultural spotlightâ Gen X has been the least mentioned, the least studied, and often not even recognized by its own members as a distinct generation.
Today, they are in midlife âa period that, according to the "U-shaped curve of happiness" theory, is one of the most emotionally and psychologically difficult stages: deteriorating health, professional stagnation, and the dual burden of caring for both parents and children. But their condition is not just a matter of age âit's the result of specific economic and political history.
Structurally, Generation X reached its critical stage of financial consolidation during the global economic crisis of 2008 âa moment that halted income growth and severely limited access to housing, investment opportunities, and saving capacity. Compared to other generations, their economic mobility was minimal, marked by wage stagnation and unstable labor conditions. Even in terms of wealth accumulation and home ownership, many Gen Xers show weaker indicators than early-born millennials at the same stage of adulthood.
At the same time, many countries âespecially in Latin America and parts of Europeâ experienced the rise of alternative models to free-market systems: socialist proposals promising redistribution, social justice, and equality. In practice, however, these models led to state dependency, excessive intervention, economic rigidity, and a loss of productive dynamism. The consequences were clear: rising poverty, institutional decay, inflation, plummeting investment, increasing corruption within state structures, and a severe weakening of the productive apparatus.
For a generation raised on the values of individual effort, self-reliance, and social mobility, this ideological shift resulted in a double disillusionment âfirst with a free-market system that never delivered the promised rewards, and then with a redistributive model that failed to solve structural problems and, in many cases, made them worse.
While younger generations now embrace proposals like universal basic income, nationalization, or permanent subsidies as fresh solutions, many in Gen X see them not as innovation, but as a repetition of mistakes already lived: economic stagnation, institutional fragility, sustained poverty, and expanding clientelist networks.
The story of Generation X is marked by having been the turning point between two collapsed models: a liberalism that never fulfilled its promises and a socialism that imposed dependency, corruption, and systematic impoverishment.

@ 005bc4de:ef11e1a2
2025-05-28 16:24:41Two days ago I put this out: https://peakd.com/hive-124838/@crrdlx/hostr-snaps-9i13ooa7ufp
Post: https://peakd.com/hive-124838/@crrdlx/hostr-snaps-9i13ooa7ufp
One of the comments said it "...looks like some sort of game as well." That was enough to tickle my curiosity and get me thinking. The round tomatoes and how they nestled into the grooves of the tiles reminded me of Chinese checkers. The grid brought Hex to mind (the game John Nash played) and I wondered if a square-grid version might be viable. A little searching revealed Hex is a "Connection game" and there are several. The one called Tak seemed really interesting and simple. I like interesting and I really like simple.
So, a square grid connection game wouldn't be new, however, you can't play Tak with tomatoes. Tak requires stacking "stones" or standing them on edge, that would be very, very tricky with tomatoes.
I looked around and happened to have some dried corn kernels and dry beans. I drew out a 5 x 5 grid of dots, lined up five corn kernels on one side in a "home row" and 5 beans on the other. We used to play a game where two sides of Army men met after a series of moves. In that game, we rolled dice to have a "combat" and see who would win the little battle. I wanted something like that in my game, some type of combat or conquest, somehow. So, I started messing around, moving kernels and beans, and totally just set out to make this game up on the fly. This is what I got...
Rules
The objective, like Hex or Tak, is to connect one side (your home row) to your opponent's side. The connection to the other side can be a straight line, or it CAN include a diagonal road. Any of the roads below would be a win for team bean (B).
- One side makes a move by sliding one corn/bean one spot forward.
- Then, take turns making moves.
- Movement can only be one spot forward/back or sideways (NSEW). You cannot move diagonally.
- Opponents CAN occupy, or "squat", on the same spot at once. If so, the spot is being "co-squatted" (they're like two people standing in the same sidewalk tile at the same time).
- However, while opponents occupy the same spot, a "combat" might ensue. A corn/bean can "attack" by moving yet another adjoining corn or bean onto the co-squatted spot. A conquest is made by outnumbering a spot 2-to-1. For instance, if a spot is being occupied by both a bean and corn, and then a second corn moves in, the two corns conquer the one bean. The bean is immediately removed. The bean player then places that conquered bean into any empty spot on his or her home row. That placement constitutes the bean player's turn. So, after the bean is placed on the home row, the corn player makes the next move.
- Play continues until someone completes a road from their home row across to their opponent's home row. (Again, a diagonal road is okay for the win.)
- The losing player got Succotashed.
Game name
As to the name, initially I wanted a tomato-ish name. But, I was using corn and beans. So, I'm naming this game "Succotash" after the corn, bean, and vegetable recipe. I considered calling it the "Texas Caviar Game" because it has tomatoes in it, but playing Succotash just sounds better. Plus, putting tomatoes in succotash sounds yummy.
Simple
A big goal here was to keep it simple. To that end, all that's needed is (a) a paper with a 5 x 5 grid drawn on it, and, (b) 5 pieces of something and 5 pieces of something else. Obviously I used corn kernels and beans, but it could easily be shells/legos, pennies/paperclips, nuts/stones, or whatever.
Initially, I had a "storehouse" of extra corn kernels and storehouse of extra beans (seen in the images). My thinking was that they would replace the corn or beans that get conquered by opponents. Upon playing the game, it was apparent that a storehouse is totally unnecessary. Once captured, the same corn/bean can just be the one that's placed back onto the home row. Five of each is fine.
Also, I'm sure the grid could easily be expanded to whatever size you wish. I played an opponent with the 5 x 5 grid, and that seemed a good size for a five minute or so game.
Why not sit down face-to-face with someone for a minute and give Succotash a try? If you do, I'd love to hear how it went.

2025-05-28 15:01:42Jack Dorseyâs company is bringing bitcoin payments to the retail market through the Lightning Network.
Block â the firm led by Dorsey that owns Square and Bitkey â has officially announced the integration of bitcoin payments into the Square platform, with a full rollout planned for 2026 for all eligible merchants.
Today: weâre accepting bitcoin payments at @TheBitcoinConf
Soon: you can accept bitcoin payments wherever you areDetails here: https://t.co/ko2S9hFpih pic.twitter.com/IYlYV6XM2S
â Square (@Square) May 27, 2025
At the Bitcoin Conference 2025 in Las Vegas, attendees had the chance to preview satoshi payments via Square at BTC Inc.âs merchandise store.
The technology relies on the Lightning Network, the second-layer infrastructure enabling instant, low-cost bitcoin transactions. This approach will allow merchants to accept satoshi payments through their existing Square hardware.
The implementation plan includes an initial launch in the second half of 2025, pending necessary regulatory approvals. The initiative represents a key pillar in the companyâs strategy to make bitcoin more accessible for everyday transactions.
Miles Suter, Bitcoin Product Lead at Block, stated:
âBlock has long been a champion of bitcoin, focused on making it more accessible and usable in our everyday lives. Rolling out a native bitcoin experience to millions of sellers brings us one step closer to that goal. When a coffee shop or retail store can accept bitcoin through Square, small businesses get paid faster, and get to keep more of their revenue.â
The announcement follows Dorseyâs statement last month confirming that Block was working to integrate BTC as a payment option for both Bitkey and Square.
Alongside the announcement, Block also revealed that Bitkey will introduce new privacy and security features in May, including a legacy recovery option available to all users.

2025-05-28 15:01:40Blockâs hardware wallet sparks debate between security and borderline compromises.
The debate ignited after Jack Dorsey publicly supported the superiority of âseedlessâ wallets over traditional solutions on X.
seedless is safer https://t.co/MvjmFcQE8k
â jack (@jack) May 27, 2025
The Twitter co-founder and Block CEO sustained this by promoting Bitkey, a company that completely eliminates seed phrases, aiming to simplify the user experience and improve security through different recovery options.
The Bitkey model
Bitkey represents a different solution compared to the traditional approach to bitcoin custody. Instead of relying on a single seed phrase, the system implements a 2-of-3 multisig scheme that distributes security across three distinct keys:
- Hardware key: protected by biometric fingerprint on the physical device;
- Mobile key: stored in the smartphone app;
- Server key: managed by Blockâs servers.
Any transaction requires two of the three signatures, eliminating the single point of failure represented by traditional seed phrases, the company claims. In its official documents, Bitkey explains how this approach, according to the company, offers three different recovery paths: phone loss, hardware loss, or loss of both through âTrusted Contacts,â pre-set trusted people who can help the user regain wallet access without being able to see the balance or control the private keys.
The seed phrase criticism
For the Bitkey team, the seed phrase paradoxically represents the weakest link in the Bitcoin security chain. While private keys are âexceptionally secureâ within the hardware â âdesigned for security, isolated from networks, physically reinforcedâ â the seed phrase is âplain text, readable, physically vulnerable,â the company states.
Bitkey developers argue that the industry has âoffloaded the most complex part of the security model onto individuals least equipped to handle it.â
System limits and dependencies
However, Bitkeyâs simplicity comes at a price. The system introduces a dependency on Block for optimal multisig functionality. Although users always maintain the ability to move funds using the two keys in their possession, recovery procedures and many advanced features require collaboration from the companyâs servers.
This architecture presents limitations in terms of flexibility: users cannot use Bitkey with other mobile applications, cannot import the wallet into alternative solutions, and do not have direct access to seed phrases for traditional backup operations.
One of the most frequent criticisms concerns the absence of a screen on the hardware device. Unlike traditional hardware wallets that allow direct verification of destination addresses and transaction amounts on the device display, Bitkey forces users to rely exclusively on the mobile app for these details. This design choice introduces what critics define as a âblind signing riskâ: if the mobile app were compromised by malware, users could unknowingly authorize altered transactions without the possibility of independent verification.
Community criticism
Dorseyâs post sparked contrasting reactions in the community. The most orthodox bitcoiners mainly contest two aspects:
- third-party dependency: despite Bitkey maintaining the âself-custodyâ label, the need to rely on Blockâs servers for many operations contradicts the autonomy principles that many bitcoiners consider fundamental;
- loss of technical control: the inability to directly manage the seed phrase or use the device in customized multisig configurations limits the userâs technical sovereignty.
Some users have criticized Blockâs hardware wallet. User bamskki highlighted how âthe lack of a screen forces users to rely on the app for transaction details. Unlike traditional hardware wallets with screens, Bitkey users cannot verify transactions independently. Users must trust the app as the source of truth.â
Even more critical was user nakadai_mon, who ironized about Dorseyâs strategy writing: âIt would be a shame if I influenced you to abandon the seed and locked you into my ecosystem so I can surveil you, sell and share your personal data with government authorities and deny you service.â
Dorsey responded directly to both criticisms. To bamskki he replied:
it's a start, not our end. we will iterate the product like everything else.
â jack (@jack) May 28, 2025
More articulated was his response to nakadai_mon:
we are working on much of the privacy aspects (launching soon). and you don't have to use our 3rd key. that's where some of the restrictions come in. working to figure out how to allow folks to create their own trusted 3rd party as well. but all of this is designed to get peopleâĶ
â jack (@jack) May 28, 2025
However, privacy concerns are not unfounded. Bitkeyâs own documentation clarifies that âbecause we maintain this key, we are able to identify transaction data on the blockchain related to your Bitkeyâ and that âthis information is collected when you transfer bitcoin to or from your Bitkey.â
Additionally, Block declares using automated decision-making systems, without direct staff involvement, to manage some activities that have legal effects on users. Among these, the application of sanctions restrictions: the system is programmed to automatically prevent the purchase and use of Bitkey by people or countries subject to international sanctions. Finally, the privacy policy specifies that usersâ personal data can be shared with law enforcement, government agencies, officials, or authorized third parties in the presence of a warrant, court order, or other legal obligation. Block reserves the right to disclose this information whenever it deems necessary to comply with regulations, legal proceedings, or government requests.
Hardware security and compromises
From a hardware security perspective, Bitkey implements advanced protections including unique device identifiers, secure boot, and anti-tamper technologies. In case the device were compromised, an attacker would still need to access a second key to steal funds.
According to Dorseyâs statements, Bitkey represents an attempt to make self-custody accessible to a broader audience. The companyâs roadmap promises improvements in terms of privacy, security, and usability.

2025-05-28 14:55:40âDieser Beitrag wurde mit dem Pareto-Client geschrieben.â
Wo bleibt die Rettung?
Wenn man bei einem Notfall auf den Rettungswagen wartet, dann fÞhlen sich Minuten wie Stunden an. Die Nerven sind bis zum Anschlag gespannt, alle Sinne sind geschÃĪrft.
Die Natur hat das so eingerichtet, damit man aufmerksam und  gut geschÞtzt ist vor weiteren Verletzungen.
Bei Trauma ist das auch so, nur dass dieser Zustand gefÞhlt ein halbes Leben andauert. Das klingt brutal, ist aber in etwa so. Da ein menschlicher KÃķrper das nicht gut aushalten kann, sendet er dem Gehirn die Information: â Bitte mach etwas zur Entlastung, ich kann mit dem Dauerstress nicht gut umgehen. Ich habe stÃĪndig das GefÞhl, dass etwas Schlimmes passiert und ich mich verteidigen muss.â Das Gehirn Þberlegt sich dann eine LÃķsung, um auch selber endlich wieder Ruhe zu haben. In der Regel wird der traumatische Inhalt verdrÃĪngt, vergessen, abgewandelt, abgeschwÃĪcht oder als Schwarz-WeiÃ-Film wieder gegeben, also ohne GefÞhl (re)prÃĪsentiert. Man kann dann von den traumatischen Erlebnissen erzÃĪhlen, ohne ein einziges GefÞhl zu haben. Das wirkt souverÃĪn, als habe man das Trauma verarbeitet, das Gegenteil ist der Fall. Manche Menschen reden sogar Þber GefÞhle, empfinden diese aber nicht. GefÞhle werden imitiert oder inszeniert. Wenn man selber fÞhlen kann, spÞrt man diesen feinen Unterschied als ZuhÃķrer sofort. Jedenfalls ist alles das Traumafolge bzw. die LÃķsung, die uns das Gehirn nach Trauma anbietet. Entweder ist der ganze Inhalt samt Emotion weg, oder der Inhalt ist noch da, aber die Emotion dazu fehlt. Es gibt Menschen, die so tief traumatisiert sind, dass sie eine ganz andere Geschichte von sich selbst erzÃĪhlen, als die, die eigentlich stattgefunden hat. Ich weiÃ, dass das gruselig klingt. Aber das ist eine RealitÃĪt. Und es ist vermutlich gut so. Die Natur macht alles, um ein Menschenleben zu retten, und wenn es um den Preis des psychologischen Vergessens ist. Manche Erinnerungen sind offensichtlich nicht mit dem Leben vereinbar, deswegen werden sie fÞr immer abgespalten. Mittlerweile habe ich persÃķnlich viel Respekt vor Menschen, die sich an nichts mehr âerinnernâ kÃķnnen, da ich gelernt habe, dass sie am schlimmsten traumatisiert sind. Diese Einstellung hatte ich nicht immer.
Jedenfalls verhÃĪlt es sich nach meiner Beobachtung und auch nach meinen eigenen Erfahrungen so, dass man sich ganz oft erst dann vollstÃĪndig UND in Farbe an traumatische Erlebnisse erinnert, wenn die Zeit dafÞr reif ist. Man kÃķnnte auch sagen, wenn die Seele bereit ist, die verlorenen Seelenanteile wieder zuzulassen. Sie sind nie weg, denn eine unsichtbare Schnur verbindet uns immer mit dem, was passiert ist. Also, wenn dieser Moment, in dem Du Deine Seelenanteile wieder begrÞÃen darfst, kommt, dann ist das wie ein riesiges Geschenk, auch wenn sich das zu Beginn nicht so anfÞhlt. Es fÞhlt sich dann eher so an, wie wenn man auf den Rettungswagen wartet, aber es ist definitiv ein Geschenk, genau wie eine Geburt ein Geschenk ist. Und eine Geburt ist ja auch nicht immer leicht.
Also, je mehr GefÞhl beim Erinnern von traumatischen Inhalten spÞrbar ist, desto besser kann Traumabearbeitung gelingen. (HeiÃe den Schmerz willkommen, wenn er in Dein Leben kommt.) Ich persÃķnlich hatte lange Wehen, bevor mein Trauma dann schlagartig aktiviert wurde. Das war, bildlich gesprochen, eine Hausgeburt, die ich allein vollbracht habe, weil der Rettungswagen dermaÃen VerspÃĪtung hatte. Aber das Kind hat sich dennoch gut entwickelt. Ich habe zuvor lange von meinem Trauma ânurâ geredet. Ich habe rationalisiert, wie man in der Fachsprache sagt. Mir war meine frÞhe Verletzung bewusst, aber ich hatte kein GefÞhl zu dem, was ich erlebt hatte. Als das GefÞhl da war, verstand ich, dass es sinnvoll war, es solange nicht gefÞhlt haben zu kÃķnnen, denn es war ein ÞberwÃĪltigender Schmerz. Die Natur macht instinktiv ein gutes Timing fÞr die Wiederkehr des GefÞhls. Sie sucht sich eine Zeit im Leben aus, wo man einen guten Stand hat, stabil ist, eine Umgebung hat, die einen zumindest fÞr eine Weile halten und auffangen kann. Denn die Natur mÃķchte schlieÃlich, dass man auch die Wiederkehr des GefÞhls Þberlebt.
Genauso schmerzhaft wie der Verlust des GefÞhls war, genauso schmerzhaft ist seine Wiederkehr.
Der Schmerz ist quasi der Erste und der Letzte. Er macht das Licht aus, und spÃĪter macht er das Licht oder den Farbfilm wieder an. Der Schmerz ist viel besser als sein Ruf.
Ich erzÃĪhle hier lediglich meine Erfahrungen und Beobachtungen, auch wenn ich allgemein formuliere. Das kann sich bei anderen Menschen auch anders verhalten. Aber ich finde den Erfahrungsaustausch Þber dieses Thema wichtig, WEIL es unterschiedlich sein kann und jeder auf einem anderen Level von Traumabearbeitung steht. Ein Problem bei Traumabearbeitung ist, dass jeder ein anderes Trauma erlebt hat, dass jeder einen anderen NÃĪhrboden hatte, auf den das Trauma fiel, und dass es verschiedene Stadien gibt, bis es dann endlich und hoffentlich soweit ist, dass das Trauma wieder vollstÃĪndig in die eigene Psyche integriert werden kann und man wieder âganzâ bzw. âneu und etwas andersâ ist. Und meine Erfahrung ist, dass man auf das Tempo dieses Prozesses leider keinen Einfluss hat, auch wenn es hierzu, wie ich finde, viele falsche Verkehrsdurchsagen gibt. Die Natur ist da verschlossen wie eine Auster, sie lÃĪsst sich nicht ins Handwerk pfuschen. Als ich das verstand, hat sich mein Wunsch, Menschen zu helfen, schlagartig verÃĪndert. Ich verstand, dass ICH das nicht machen kann, dass die Natur das selber macht. Und das ist eine gute Nachricht, denn die Natur kann das am besten und ist ein super zuverlÃĪssiger Partner.
Wir brauchen keinen Rettungswagen. Der Schmerz ist die Rettung.
Das Thema âTraumaâ birgt so viel positiven Erkenntnisgewinn Þber das Wunder des Lebens.
Aber zurÞck zum Thema. Wenn man, so wie ich, ein halbes Leben in einem Schwarz-WeiÃ-Film verbracht hat, dann die Hausgeburt ohne Rettungswagen durchgestanden hat und das Kind irgendwann anfÃĪngt, neugierige Fragen zu stellen, dann ist man im Zugzwang. In dieser Situation bin ich heute. Deswegen schreibe ich. Mein neues ICH fragt mich immer Ãķfter, warum ich so viele Dinge tue, die ich eigentlich gar nicht mehr tun will. Kinder fragen einen auch manchmal ganz unverblÞmt, ob man den Hansi denn lieb hat oder ob man gerne im BÞro arbeitet. Wenn man den Hansi nicht lieb hat und nicht gerne im BÞro arbeitet, dann muss man schlucken und eine kindgerechte Antwort formulieren. Genauso wenig wie Kinder als kompetenter 20-jÃĪhriger auf die Welt kommen, genau so wenig ist man nach geglÞckter Traumabearbeitung âgeheiltâ. Es wird nichts schlagartig besser. Das ist auch so eine falsche Verkehrsdurchsage. Man lebt ja noch im alten Leben, was nun Schritt fÞr Schritt verÃĪndert werden darf. ABER man ist glÞckliche Mutter. Mutter sein, ist nicht immer leicht, habe ich mir sagen lassen. MÞtter lieben ihre Kinder. Im Idealfall machen sie sich keine Gedanken darÞber, was aus ihrem Kind mal werden soll. Sie vertrauen einfach darauf, DASS aus ihrem Kind ein glÞcklicher Mensch wird und buttern deshalb so viel Liebe in das Kind hinein, wie in den wenigen Jahren, die das Kind ein Kind ist, mÃķglich ist. So ÃĪhnlich geht es mir heute auch. Ich bin stolz auf mein neues ICH und lobe es, so oft ich kann. Jede Mutter lobt ihre Butter. Das ist wichtig, denn das Leben bietet stÃĪndig Herausforderungen, an denen man bekanntlich wachsen darf. Ich gehe jeden Tag mit meinem âKindâ spazieren, und wir sehen viel. Wir sehen andere Menschen mit Trauma, wir hÃķren zu, welches Trauma der andere erlebt hat und auf welchem Level er ist. Wir hÃķren das GefÞhl heraus, welches mitschwingt. Wir sehen Menschen in ihrem Schwarz-WeiÃ-Film. Und wir sehen Menschen, die scheinbar mit jeder Situation souverÃĪn umgehen kÃķnnen. Am meisten interessieren âunsâ zur Zeit solche Menschen, die ehrlich zugeben, dass sie Wehen haben, dass der Schmerz sich in immer kÞrzeren AbstÃĪnden meldet. (Die verlorenen Seelenanteile ziehen an der unsichtbaren Schnur.) Mit diesen Leuten kann ich im Moment am besten. Das hÃķrt sich komisch an. Aber ich will damit zum Ausdruck bringen, dass ich mit diesen Menschen mittlerweile am meisten resoniere. Sie sprechen meine Sprache. Sie empfinden GefÞhle, und sprechen Þber diese. Das ist fÞr mich die schÃķnste Sprache.
Wer in diesen Tagen wahrhaftig Schmerz empfindet, und nicht nur als Lippenbekenntnis, sondern echten Þblen Schmerz Þber die enttÃĪuschte Liebe oder Þber die VerhÃĪltnisse in dieser Welt, der ist mir sympathisch, der ist mir nah. Denn ich weiÃ, dass so ein fÞhlender Mensch auch bald eine Niederkunft erleben wird, die ihn verÃĪndert, die ihn anders auf diese Welt schauen lÃĪsst.
Der Schmerz bringt uns die Verwandlung. Der Schmerz bringt die verlorenen Seelenanteile zurÞck. Der Schmerz ist der HÞter des Lebens. Der Schmerz bringt Dir Deine volle SensibilitÃĪt fÞr andere Menschen zurÞck. Alles, was Du bei Dir nicht fÞhlen kannst, kannst Du bei anderen nicht fÞhlen. Der Schmerz beendet das. Er macht das Licht an und gibt dem Film wieder Farbe.
HeiÃe den Schmerz willkommen, wenn er in Dein Leben kommt. Tu das, nicht etwa weil Du gern leidest, nein tu das, weil Du Dich liebst, weil Du bewusst darauf achten mÃķchtest, was Dir wirklich gut tut und Freude macht. Ein Mensch oder ein Job, der Dir Schmerz bereitet, den gilt es loszulassen. Und wenn Du Schmerz im Gesicht Deines GegenÞbers siehst, dann frage Dich ehrlich, was Dein Anteil daran ist, dass der andere leidet. Wir sind nicht fÞr jedes Leid auf dieser Welt verantwortlich, das mÃķchte ich hier auch betonen. Und die Schuld-Nummer zieht bei mir schon lange nicht mehr. Aber ich nehme immer besser wahr, wenn mein eigenes Verhalten nicht angemessen, nicht authentisch ist, von Þberholten Glaubensmustern geprÃĪgt ist. Ich kann das erkennen und korrigieren. Ich kann das heute selber erkennen, weil der Schmerz mich das gelehrt hat, mich geÃķffnet hat. Der Schmerz lehrt uns ganz viel. Der Schmerz ist der HÞter des Lebens. Er trifft einen hart, macht aber weich.
HeiÃe den Schmerz willkommen, denn er ist die Rettung. Â

2025-05-28 11:18:23Liebe Anwender,\ \ diesmal beginnen die Neuigkeiten schon beim Titel und der Anrede. Unsere Worte bestimmen unser Denken, und daher war die Korrektur wichtiger als sie zunÃĪchst erscheint, denn bei Pareto gibt es die klassische Trennung zwischen Autor und Leser nicht mehr. Cocreation heiÃt unser Konzept, jeder kann publizieren, kommentieren, honorieren und distribuieren. Mag das bei Blogtexten derzeit noch nicht selbstverstÃĪndlich sein, so ist das bei Bildern lÃĪngst die Norm.Â
âEin Bild sagt mehr als tausend Worteâ beschreibt die Wirkung visueller Kommunikation. Deshalb haben wir nach dem Blogtext nun mit Bildern eine neue Content-Kategorie eingefÞhrt. NatÞrlich auch hier mit den bekannten Funktionen der Interaktion wie like, repost und zap. Es gibt derzeit eine Gliederung in 4 Feeds, Gefolgt (fÞr Nostr-User verfÞgbar), Memes und Kunst (gefiltert nach entsprechenden Tags) und Pareto fÞr alles andere.
Jeder Nostr-User hat die MÃķglichkeit eigene Bilder hochzuladen, zu taggen, sowie mit einem Titel und Untertext zu versehen. âEveryone is a creatorâ war noch nie leichter, probiert es einfach aus! Noch kein Nostr-Profil und trotzdem interessiert? Kein Problem, bitte Informationen zu originellen Bildquellen oder Interesse an Mitwirkung per Mail senden an pictures@pareto.spaceÂ
Leicht ist es auch die Pareto-Inhalte zu erhalten und konsumieren, man braucht weder einen Account noch spezielle Apps. Jeder hat bereits die entsprechenden Voraussetzungen, hier ein paar Beispiele.\ \ Newsletter per Mail (Die Friedenstaube)\ hier abonnieren\ \ In Telegram lesen -> hier unsere KanÃĪle\ https://t.me/pareto_artikel \ https://t.me/friedenstaube_artikel \ \ Als Feed in einem Feed-Reader \ https://pareto.space/atom/feed.xml \ https://pareto.space/atom/de_feed.xml \ https://pareto.space/atom/en_feed.xml

2025-05-28 11:01:39Nostr is an open communication protocol that can be used to send messages across a distributed set of relays in a censorship resistant and robust way.
If you missed my nostr introduction post you can find it here. My nostr account can be found here.
We are nearly at the point that if something interesting is posted on a centralized social platform it will usually be posted by someone to nostr.
We are nearly at the point that if something interesting is posted exclusively to nostr it is cross posted by someone to various centralized social platforms.
We are nearly at the point that you can recommend a cross platform app that users can install and easily onboard without additional guides or resources.
As companies continue to build walls around their centralized platforms nostr posts will be the easiest to cross reference and verify - as companies continue to censor their users nostr is the best censorship resistant alternative - gradually then suddenly nostr will become the standard. ðŦĄ

2025-05-28 11:01:37Contribute to keep No Bullshit Bitcoin news going.
- The latest firmware updates for COLDCARD devices introduce two major features: COLDCARD Co-sign (CCC) and Key Teleport between two COLDCARD Q devices using QR codes and/or NFC with a website.
What's new
- COLDCARD Co-Sign: When CCC is enabled, a second seed called the Spending Policy Key (Key C) is added to the device. This seed works with the device's Main Seed and one or more additional XPUBs (Backup Keys) to form 2-of-N multisig wallets.
- The spending policy functions like a hardware security module (HSM), enforcing rules such as magnitude and velocity limits, address whitelisting, and 2FA authentication to protect funds while maintaining flexibility and control, and is enforced each time the Spending Policy Key is used for signing.
- When spending conditions are met, the COLDCARD signs the partially signed bitcoin transaction (PSBT) with the Main Seed and Spending Policy Key for fund access. Once configured, the Spending Policy Key is required to view or change the policy, and violations are denied without explanation.
"You can override the spending policy at any time by signing with either a Backup Key and the Main Seed or two Backup Keys, depending on the number of keys (N) in the multisig."
-
A step-by-step guide for setting up CCC is available here.
-
Key Teleport for Q devices allows users to securely transfer sensitive data such as seed phrases (words, xprv), secure notes and passwords, and PSBTs for multisig. It uses QR codes or NFC, along with a helper website, to ensure reliable transmission, keeping your sensitive data protected throughout the process.
- For more technical details, see the protocol spec.
"After you sign a multisig PSBT, you have option to âKey Teleportâ the PSBT file to any one of the other signers in the wallet. We already have a shared pubkey with them, so the process is simple and does not require any action on their part in advance. Plus, starting in this firmware release, COLDCARD can finalize multisig transactions, so the last signer can publish the signed transaction via PushTX (NFC tap) to get it on the blockchain directly."
- Multisig transactions are finalized when sufficiently signed. It streamlines the use of PushTX with multisig wallets.
- Signing artifacts re-export to various media. Users are now provided with the capability to export signing products, like transactions or PSBTs, to alternative media rather than the original source. For example, if a PSBT is received through a QR code, it can be signed and saved onto an SD card if needed.
- Multisig export files are signed now. Public keys are encoded as P2PKH address for all multisg signature exports. Learn more about it here.
- NFC export usability upgrade: NFC keeps exporting until CANCEL/X is pressed.
- Added Bitcoin Safe option to Export Wallet.
- 10% performance improvement in USB upload speed for large files.
- Q: Always choose the biggest possible display size for QR.
Fixes
- Do not allow change Main PIN to same value already used as Trick PIN, even if Trick PIN is hidden.
- Fix stuck progress bar under
Receiving...
after a USB communications failure. - Showing derivation path in Address Explorer for root key (m) showed double slash (//).
- Can restore developer backup with custom password other than 12 words format.
- Virtual Disk auto mode ignores already signed PSBTs (with â-signedâ in file name).
- Virtual Disk auto mode stuck on âReadingâĶâ screen sometimes.
- Finalization of foreign inputs from partial signatures. Thanks Christian Uebber!
- Temporary seed from COLDCARD backup failed to load stored multisig wallets.
Destroy Seed
also removes all Trick PINs from SE2.Lock Down Seed
requires pressing confirm key (4) to execute.- Q only: Only BBQr is allowed to export Coldcard, Core, and pretty descriptor.

2025-05-28 04:34:08Ascolta bene! It is more dignified to thirst alone in the desert than to share wine with someone who has no thirst for conquest.
On the silent path to success, itâs not the declared enemies who slow the march, but rather the friends. Not the noble or loyal ones, but the failuresâthose who carry a dull glint in their eyes, chronic laziness in their spirit, and the eternal excuse of bad luck in their pockets. Friendship, when poorly chosen, becomes a polished anchor, tied to your ankle with ropes named camaraderie.
Nothing weighs heavier on the journey than having to endure the failed and envious around you. It is a kind of emotional parasitism that begins with empathy and ends in stagnation. Those who live among the weak will crawl. Those who keep company with miserable friends, instead of striving to prosper, learn to curse wealthânot out of ethics, but out of envy. Mediocrity, my friend, is contagious. And it does not take root suddenly, but like a silent epidemic.
Ambitionâthat fire that burns in the bones of great menâwill always seem like arrogance to the ears of the failed. Those who have never built anything, except arguments to justify their paralysis, will never understand the fury of someone born to conquer. And so, with smiles, they spit venom: âCalm down,â they say, âbe content,â they advise. Hypocrites. What they call humility is nothing more than resignation to their own defeat.
To walk alone, with hunger and honor, is worth more than feasting at lavish tables at the cost of your own sweat, surrounded by parasites who toast your downfall with glasses full of praise. No one prospers where the conversation is filled with complaints, criticism, and envy. What does not build up, corrodes.
The rust of the weak is invisible at firstâa bitter joke here, a veiled critique there. And before you know it, the structure is already rotten. Of the friendship, only the weight remains. Of the relationship, only exhaustion. The true enemy of success is the company of those who have failed and wish for you the same fate. These tragic figuresâalways tired, always victimsâare masters of collective self-sabotage.
Feel no remorse in abandoning those who build nothing and consume everything. And in that abandonment, you become freer, stronger, and unbreakable.
Thank you for reading, my friend!
If this message resonated with you, consider leaving your "ðĨ" as a token of appreciation.
A toast to our family!

2025-05-28 01:11:43In this second installment of The Android Elite Setup tutorial series, we will cover installing the nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8 on your #Android device and browsing for apps you may be interested in trying out.
Since the #Zapstore is a direct competitor to the Google Play Store, you're not going to be able to find and install it from there like you may be used to with other apps. Instead, you will need to install it directly from the developer's GitHub page. This is not a complicated process, but it is outside the normal flow of searching on the Play Store, tapping install, and you're done.
Installation
From any web browser on your Android phone, navigate to the Zapstore GitHub Releases page and the most recent version will be listed at the top of the page. The .apk file for you to download and install will be listed in the "Assets."
Tap the .apk to download it, and you should get a notification when the download has completed, with a prompt to open the file.
You will likely be presented with a prompt warning you that your phone currently isn't allowed to install applications from "unknown sources." Anywhere other than the Play Store is considered an "unknown source" by default. However, you can manually allow installation from unknown sources in the settings, which the prompt gives you the option to do.
In the settings page that opens, toggle it to allow installation from this source, and you should be prompted to install the application. If you aren't, simply go to your web browser's downloads and tap on the .apk file again, or go into your file browser app and you should find the .apk in your Downloads folder.
If the application doesn't open automatically after install, you will find it in your app drawer.
Home Page
Right at the top of the home page in the Zapstore is the search bar. You can use it to find a specific app you know is available in the Zapstore.
There are quite a lot of open source apps available, and more being added all the time. Most are added by the Zapstore developer, nostr:npub1wf4pufsucer5va8g9p0rj5dnhvfeh6d8w0g6eayaep5dhps6rsgs43dgh9, but some are added by the app developers themselves, especially Nostr apps. All of the applications we will be installing through the Zapstore have been added by their developers and are cryptographically signed, so you know that what you download is what the developer actually released.
The next section is for app discovery. There are curated app collections to peruse for ideas about what you may want to install. As you can see, all of the other apps we will be installing are listed in nostr:npub1wf4pufsucer5va8g9p0rj5dnhvfeh6d8w0g6eayaep5dhps6rsgs43dgh9's "Nostr" collection.
In future releases of the Zapstore, users will be able to create their own app collections.
The last section of the home page is a chronological list of the latest releases. This includes both new apps added to the Zapstore and recently updated apps. The list of recent releases on its own can be a great resource for discovering apps you may not have heard of before.
Installed Apps
The next page of the app, accessed by the icon in the bottom-center of the screen that looks like a clock with an arrow circling it, shows all apps you have installed that are available in the Zapstore. It's also where you will find apps you have previously installed that are ready to be updated. This page is pretty sparse on my test profile, since I only have the Zapstore itself installed, so here is a look at it on my main profile:
The "Disabled Apps" at the top are usually applications that were installed via the Play Store or some other means, but are also available in the Zapstore. You may be surprised to see that some of the apps you already have installed on your device are also available on the Zapstore. However, to manage their updates though the Zapstore, you would need to uninstall the app and reinstall it from the Zapstore instead. I only recommend doing this for applications that are added to the Zapstore by their developers, or you may encounter a significant delay between a new update being released for the app and when that update is available on the Zapstore.
Tap on one of your apps in the list to see whether the app is added by the developer, or by the Zapstore. This takes you to the application's page, and you may see a warning at the top if the app was not installed through the Zapstore.
Scroll down the page a bit and you will see who signed the release that is available on the Zapstore.
In the case of Primal, even though the developer is on Nostr, they are not signing their own releases to the Zapstore yet. This means there will likely be a delay between Primal releasing an update and that update being available on the Zapstore.
Settings
The last page of the app is the settings page, found by tapping the cog at the bottom right.
Here you can send the Zapstore developer feedback directly (if you are logged in), connect a Lightning wallet using Nostr Wallet Connect, delete your local cache, and view some system information.
We will be adding a connection to our nostr:npub1h2qfjpnxau9k7ja9qkf50043xfpfy8j5v60xsqryef64y44puwnq28w8ch wallet in part 5 of this tutorial series.
For the time being, we are all set with the Zapstore and ready for the next stage of our journey.

2025-05-28 13:53:46These days it can feel like the whole world is out of control. Government officials lie and break the law. People are selfish, act emotionally rather than logically, and push ideologies that are illogical and contrary to reality. Society is divided into groups and people are judged, not for their own character, but based on which group they are placed into. There are wars and rumors of wars. There are worries of pandemics and economic disasters. Depression, psychosis, and despair is rampant even among the youngest among us.
Hope For Believers
As much as things seem to be out of control, they are not out of Godâs control. This is what the Bible predicted. No matter how bad things get in the world, those who have put their faith in Jesus, do not need to feel despair.
Why are you in despair, O my soul?\ And why have you become disturbed within me?\ Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him\ For the help of His presence.\ O my God, my soul is in despair within me;\ Therefore I remember You from the land of the Jordan\ And the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar. (Psalm 42:5-6)
When we start to feel despair overcoming us, we need to remember what God has done and what He has promised. We need to praise God for what He has done, what He has promised, and what He will bring to completion. Things may be hard now, but God is still in control, and we know how the story will end. God triumphs. Good is rewarded. Evil is destroyed. We can stand on the foundation of hope because we know the ending. Even though things may be out of our personal control, they are always under Godâs control.
The more fiercely the storm rages, the more we need to rest in Jesus and the more we need to put our hope in Him.
O love the Lord, all you His godly ones!\ The Lord preserves the faithful\ And fully recompenses the proud doer.\ **Be strong and let your heart take courage,\ All you who hope in the Lord. (Psalm 31:23-24) {emphasis mine}
We can take courage because God always acts for our long term good. Every hardship we experience here on earth will be recognized as a blessing that grew our faith and prepared us for heaven and Godâs presence in eternity.
For I know the plans that I have for you,â declares the Lord, âplans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11)
Even the worst things that happen to us, due to the sins of others, have a good purpose in our lives. God is working good through us. Our hope isnât an empty hope. It isnât a âI really hope this happens.â It is a âI can hope in the guaranteed promises of God.â
For we do not want you to be unaware, brethren, of our affliction which came to us in Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life; indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead; who delivered us from so great a peril of death, and will deliver us, He on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet deliver us, (2 Corinthians 1:8-10) {emphasis mine}
We may experience situations so bad that they seem hopeless, but with God, nothing is hopeless. The God who raises the dead can raise us out of any situation. The God who spoke the universe into existence can deliver us by a word.
The God of the Bible knows all and loves us completely. He looks at our situation through the lens of eternity. What seems best in the moment is not necessarily what is best for our eternity. Many times He delivers us through hardship rather than out of it. We just need to trust Him and put our hope in Him because He is good.
In the same way God, desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. (Hebrews 6:17-20) {emphasis mine}
Read that statement again. âThis hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast.â Are you trusting Jesus as the âanchor of your soul?â Is your hope just a wish or is it a âsure and steadfastâ hope based on the promises of God that you know will 100% come true?
And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. (Romans 5:3-5)
Isnât it ironic that we need hope to persevere through tribulations, but that persevering through tribulation gives us character and hope? Our faith, trust, and hope grow through hardship. When things are easy, we almost always fall back on trusting in our own power rather than relying on Godâs power. If we have put our faith in Jesus, there is no situation in which we should lose hope.
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13)
Is your joy and peace based on your circumstances or have you learned to have hope in God so you can experience joy and peace even in the trials?
Many people equate joy and happiness, but I think there is a key distinction. Happiness is a pleasant feeling that comes from pleasant circumstances. Joy is a similar feeling to happiness, but it comes from knowing God and His love. It is not tied to circumstances. When we have truly put our hope in God we can still have joy in and despite the most horrific circumstances.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, (1 Peter 1:3-4) {emphasis mine}
Just as Jesus told the Samaritan woman at the well that He provides living water that wells up inside, so that she need never thirst, in the same way believers have a living hope that wells up in times of need. Our hope is in the Creator of the universe and Savior of the world. No problem is too big for Him. No situation is a surprise to Him. No enemy is too powerful for Him. All of our problems are already solved. We just havenât necessarily seen the solution yet.
My soul, wait in silence for God only,\ For my hope is from Him.\ He only is my rock and my salvation,\ My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.\ On God my salvation and my glory rest;\ The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God. (Psalm 62:5-7)
Despair For Unbelievers
Although believers never have reason to despair, the same is not true for those who have rejected the Savior, Jesus Christ. In these perilous times, they have a real reason for dread and despair.
Moreover, the Lord will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth; and there you shall serve other gods, wood and stone, which you or your fathers have not known. Among those nations you shall find no rest, and there will be no resting place for the sole of your foot; but there the Lord will give you a trembling heart, failing of eyes, and despair of soul. So your life shall hang in doubt before you; and you will be in dread night and day, and shall have no assurance of your life. (Deuteronomy 64-66)
Those who reject the atoning sacrifice of Jesus do not get His protection. They do not get His help. They cannot rest in hope in Him.
Of course, the good news is that they can chose to turn their hearts to Him, confess their sins, and trust in Him up until their moment of death. Sadly many will continue to put off faith until it is too late. Many will choose evil over good and license over submission until God gives them over to their lusts.
And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them. (Romans 1:28-32)
If any of you have not yet put your trust in Jesus as Savior and Lord, do not wait. Turn away from evil. Submit to the will of Jesus. Trust Him to take away your sins and cover you with His righteousness.
If any of you know people who are in despair, share the gospel with them. Tell them about the greatness of God. Show them the hope that is within you.
Can Believers Despair?
Are there believers who despair? Yes. Should believers ever despair? Definitely not!
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves; we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. (2 Corinthians 4:7-10)
Jesus is always with believers in all situations guiding and protecting us. Those difficult situations that happen are for our good, even when we canât see how it could be for good.
Job had more reasons to despair than almost anyone, yet he trusted in God. He didnât know why he was being put through such loss, but his loss increased his faith in God and was a great example to people throughout history. I also love this cry of his heart.
âOh that my words were written!\ Oh that they were inscribed in a book!â (Job 19:23)
He may or may not have seen even the partial fulfillment of this cry, but His words are written in the book of Job, in the Holy Scriptures read by Jews and Christians throughout the world and throughout history. Jobâs first response to loss was an example to us all. After losing all ten children and all of his wealth, this was his response.
Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head, and he fell to the ground and worshiped. (Job 1:20)
Yes, it is true that he had moments of despair where he cursed his birth, but he then returned to God in faith and hope. After a brief rebuke from God, Job submitted to Godâs will.
âBehold, I am insignificant; what can I reply to You?\ I lay my hand on my mouth.\ Once I have spoken, and I will not answer;\ Even twice, and I will add nothing more.â (Job 40:4-5)
After his second rebuke from God, he fully submitted.
Then Job answered the Lord and said,
âI know that You can do all things,\ And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.\ âWho is this that hides counsel without knowledge?â\ *Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand,\ Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.\ âHear, now, and I will speak;\ I will ask You, and You instruct me*.â\ I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear;\ But now my eye sees You;\ Therefore I retract,\ And I repent in dust and ashes**.â (Job 42:1-6) {emphasis mine}
Job admitted that he did not understand what God was doing, but that God was right; God was good; and God was Lord. Job was able to have hope knowing that God was in control and working for good.
In the case of Job, he was later blessed with more kids, more wealth, and more respect than he had in the beginning. We wonât all see our blessings here on earth, but all believers will receive blessings from their trials.
May our glorious Savior and God fill you with faith and hope in God, His goodness, His power, and His plan. May we all submit to His good will even when we do not understand and even when every part of our earthly body is crying, âstop!â May God fill you with knowledge of Him, faith in Him, and hope in Him.
Trust Jesus

2025-05-28 12:00:23Sylvi the seahorse
In the coral haven of Azure Bay, a seahorse named Sylvi danced with the tides. Her tail curled around a swaying frond as she watched fish dart by. One dawn, a lost pearl rolled into her nook. Sylvi, curious, nudged it along the reef, meeting crabs and eels who shared tales of the deep. By dusk, she found its oyster home. The pearl gleamed thanks, and Sylvi twirled home, her heart light as foam.

2025-05-28 00:59:49Your identity is important to you, right? While impersonation can be seen in some senses as a form of flattery, we all would prefer to be the only person capable of representing ourselves online, unless we intentionally delegate that privilege to someone else and maintain the ability to revoke it.
Amber does all of that for you in the context of #Nostr. It minimizes the possibility of your private key being compromized by acting as the only app with access to it, while all other Nostr apps send requests to Amber when they need something signed. This even allows you to give someone temporary authority to post as you without giving them your private key, and you retain the authority to revoke their permissions at any time.
nostr:npub1w4uswmv6lu9yel005l3qgheysmr7tk9uvwluddznju3nuxalevvs2d0jr5 has provided Android users with an incredibly powerful tool in Amber, and he continues to improve its functionality and ease of use. Indeed, there is not currently a comparative app available for iOS users. For the time being, this superpower is exclusive to Android.
Installation
Open up the Zapstore app that you installed in the previous stage of this tutorial series.
Very likely, Amber will be listed in the app collection section of the home page. If it is not, just search for "Amber" in the search bar.
Opening the app's page in the Zapstore shows that the release is signed by the developer. You can also see who has added this app to one of their collections and who has supported this app with sats by zapping the release.
Tap "Install" and you will be prompted to confirm you are sure you want to install Amber.
Helpfully, you are informed that several other users follow this developer on Nostr. If you have been on Nostr a while, you will likely recognize these gentlemen as other Nostr developers, one of them being the original creator of the protocol.
You can choose to never have Zapstore ask for confirmation again with apps developed by nostr:npub1w4uswmv6lu9yel005l3qgheysmr7tk9uvwluddznju3nuxalevvs2d0jr5, and since we have another of his apps to install later in this tutorial series, I recommend you toggle this on. Then tap on "Trust greenart7c3 and install app."
Just like when you installed the Zapstore from their GitHub, you will be prompted to allow the Zapstore to install apps, since Android considers it an "unknown source."
Once you toggle this on and use the back button to get back to the Zapstore, Amber will begin downloading and then present a prompt to install the app. Once installed, you will see a prompt that installation was a success and you can now open the app.
From here, how you proceed will depend on whether you need to set up a new Nostr identity or use Amber with an existing private key you already have set up. The next section will cover setting up a new Nostr identity with Amber. Skip to the section titled "Existing Nostrich" if you already have an nsec that you would like to use with Amber.
New Nostrich
Upon opening the application, you will be presented with the option to use an existing private key or create a new Nostr account. Nostr doesn't really have "accounts" in the traditional sense of the term. Accounts are a relic of permissioned systems. What you have on Nostr are keys, but Amber uses the "account" term because it is a more familiar concept, though it is technically inaccurate.
Choose "Create a new Nostr account" and you will be presented with a screen telling you that your Nostr account is ready. Yes, it was really that easy. No email, no real name, no date of birth, and no annoying capcha. Just "Create a new account" and you're done.
The app presents you with your public key. This is like an address that can be used to find your posts on Nostr. It is 100% unique to you, and no one else can post a note that lists this npub as the author, because they won't have the corresponding private key. You don't need to remember your npub, though. You'll be able to readily copy it from any Nostr app you use whenever you need it.
You will also be prompted to add a nickname. This is just for use within Amber, since you can set up multiple profiles within the app. You can use anything you want here, as it is just so you can tell which profile is which when switching between them in Amber.
Once you've set your nickname, tap on "Continue."
The next screen will ask you what Amber's default signing policy should be.
The default is to approve basic actions, referring to things that are common for Nostr clients to request a signature for, like following another user, liking a post, making a new post, or replying. If you are more concerned about what Amber might be signing for on your behalf, you can tell it to require manual approval for each app.
Once you've made your decision, tap "Finish." You will also be able to change this selection in the app settings at any time.
With this setup out of the way, you are now presented with the main "Applications" page of the app.
At the top, you have a notification encouraging you to create a backup. Let's get that taken care of now by tapping on the notification and skipping down to the heading titled "Backing Up Your Identity" in this tutorial.
Existing Nostrich
Upon opening the application, you will be presented with the option to use your private key or create a new Nostr account. Choose the former.
The next screen will require you to paste your private key.
You will need to obtain this from whatever Nostr app you used to create your profile, or any other Nostr app that you pasted your nsec into in the past. Typically you can find it in the app settings and there will be a section mentioning your keys where you can copy your nsec. For instance, in Primal go to Settings > Keys > Copy private key, and on Amethyst open the side panel by tapping on your profile picture in the top-left, then Backup Keys > Copy my secret key.
After pasting your nsec into Amber, tap "Next."
Amber will give you a couple options for a default signing policy. The default is to approve basic actions, referring to things that are common for Nostr clients to request a signature for, like following another user, liking a post, making a new post, or replying. If you are more concerned about what Amber might be signing for on your behalf, you can tell it to require manual approval for each app.
Once you've made your decision, tap "Finish." You will also be able to change this selection in the app settings at any time.
With this setup out of the way, you are now presented with the main "Applications" page of the app. You have nothing here yet, since you haven't used Amber to log into any Nostr apps, but this will be where all of the apps you have connected with Amber will be listed, in the order of the most recently used at the top.
Before we go and use Amber to log into an app, though, let's make sure we've created a backup of our private key. You pasted your nsec into Amber, so you could just save that somewhere safe, but Amber gives you a few other options as well. To find them, you'll need to tap the cog icon at the bottom of the screen to access the settings, then select "Backup Keys."
Backing Up Your Identity
You'll notice that Amber has a few different options for backing up your private key that it can generate.
First, it can give you seed words, just like a Bitcoin seed. If you choose that option, you'll be presented with 12 words you can record somewhere safe. To recover your Nostr private key, you just have to type those words into a compatible application, such as Amber.
The next option is to just copy the secret/private key in its standard form as an "nsec." This is the least secure way to store it, but is also the most convenient, since it is simple to paste into another signer application. If you want to be able to log in on a desktop web app, the browser extension Nostr signers won't necessarily support entering your 12 word seed phrase, but they absolutely will support pasting in your nsec.
You can also display a QR code of your private key. This can be scanned by Amber signer on another device for easily transferring your private key to other devices you want to use it on. Say you have an Android tablet in addition to your phone, for instance. Just make sure you only use this function where you can be certain that no one will be able to get a photograph of that QR code. Once someone else has your nsec, there is no way to recover it. You have to start all over on Nostr. Not a big deal at this point in your journey if you just created a Nostr account, but if you have been using Nostr for a while and have built up a decent amount of reputation, it could be much more costly to start over again.
The next options are a bit more secure, because they require a password that will be used to encrypt your private key. This has some distinct advantages, and a couple disadvantages to be aware of. Using a password to encrypt your private key will give you what is called an ncryptsec, and if this is leaked somehow, whoever has it will not necessarily have access to post as you on Nostr, the way they would if your nsec had been leaked. At least, not so long as they don't also have your password. This means you can store your ncryptsec in multiple locations without much fear that it will be compromised, so long as the password you used to encrypt it was a strong and unique one, and it isn't stored in the same location. Some Nostr apps support an ncryptsec for login directly, meaning that you have the option to paste in your ncryptsec and then just log in with the password you used to encrypt it from there on out. However, now you will need to keep track of both your ncryptsec and your password, storing both of them safely and separately. Additionally, most Nostr clients and signer applications do not support using an ncryptsec, so you will need to convert it back to a standard nsec (or copy the nsec from Amber) to use those apps.
The QR option using an ncryptsec is actually quite useful, though, and I would go this route when trying to set up Amber on additional devices, since anyone possibly getting a picture of the QR code is still not going to be able to do anything with it, unless they also get the password you used to encrypt it.
All of the above options will require you to enter the PIN you set up for your device, or biometric authentication, just as an additional precaution before displaying your private key to you.
As for what "store it in a safe place" looks like, I highly recommend a self-hosted password manager, such as Vaultwarden+Bitwarden or KeePass. If you really want to get wild, you can store it on a hardware signing device, or on a steel seed plate.
Additional Settings
Amber has some additional settings you may want to take advantage of. First off, if you don't want just anyone who has access to your phone to be able to approve signing requests, you can go into the Security settings add a PIN or enable biometrics for signing requests. If you enable the PIN, it will be separate from the PIN you use to access your phone, so you can let someone else use your phone, like your child who is always begging to play a mobile game you have installed, without worrying that they might have access to your Nostr key to post on Amethyst.
Amber also has some relay settings. First are the "Active relays" which are used for signing requests sent to Amber remotely from Nostr web apps. This is what enables you to use Amber on your phone to log into Nostr applications on your desktop web browser, such as Jumble.social, Coracle.social, or Nostrudel.ninja, eliminating your need to use any other application to store your nsec whatsoever. You can leave this relay as the default, or you can add other relays you want to use for signing requests. Just be aware, not all relays will accept the notes that are used for Nostr signing requests, so make sure that the relay you want to use does so. In fact, Amber will make sure of this for you when you type in the relay address.
The next type of relays that you can configure in Amber are the "Default profile relays." These are used for reading your profile information. If you already had a Nostr identity that you imported to Amber, you probably noticed it loaded your profile picture and display name, setting the latter as your nickname in Amber. These relays are where Amber got that information from. The defaults are relay.nostr.band and purplepag.es. The reason for this is because they are aggregators that look for Nostr profiles that have been saved to other relays on the network and pull them in. Therefore, no matter what other relay you may save your profile to, Amber will likely be able to find it on one of those two relays as well. If you have a relay you know you will be saving your Nostr profiles to, you may want to add it to this list.
You can also set up Amber to be paired with Orbot for signing over Tor using relays that are only accessible via the Tor network. That is an advanced feature, though, and well beyond the scope of this tutorial.
Finally, you can update the default signing policy. Maybe after using Amber for a while, you've decided that the choice you made before was too strict or too lenient. You can change it to suit your needs.
Zapstore Login
Now that you are all set up with Amber, let's get you signed into your first Nostr app by going back to the Zapstore.
From the app's home screen, tap on the user icon in the upper left of the screen. This will open a side panel with not much on it except the option to "sign in." Go ahead and tap on it.
You will be presented with the option to either sign in with Amber, or to paste your npub. However, if you do the latter, you will only have read access, meaning you cannot zap any of the app releases. There are other features planned for the Zapstore that may also require you to be signed in with write access, so go ahead and choose to log in with Amber.
Your phone should automatically switch to Amber to approve the sign-in request.
You can choose to only approve basic actions for Zapstore, require it to manually approve every time, or you can tell it that you "fully trust this application." Only choose the latter option with apps you have used for a while and they have never asked you to sign for anything suspicious. For the time being, I suggest you use the "Approve basic actions" option and tap "Grant Permissions."
Your phone will switch back to the Zapstore and will show that you are now signed in. Congratulations! From here on out, logging into most Nostr applications will be as easy as tapping on "Log in with Amber" and approving the request.
If you set up a new profile, it will just show a truncated version of your npub rather than the nickname you set up earlier. That's fine. You'll have an opportunity to update your Nostr profile in the next tutorial in this series and ensure that it is spread far and wide in the network, so the Zapstore will easily find it.
That concludes the tutorial for Amber. While we have not covered using Amber to log into Nostr web apps, that is outside the scope of this series, and I will cover it in an upcoming tutorial regarding using Amber's remote signer options in detail.
Since you're already hanging out in the Zapstore, you may as well stick around, because we will be using it right out the gate in the next part of this series: Amethyst Installation and Setup. (Coming Soon)

2025-05-27 22:47:43Retail Isn't Coming Back
(and they might be gone for good)
Written by nostr:nprofile1qqs2fxfx3z6yns4a6mafcwdgsrtluf747h37nl2vglt9mqj93r7kvrcwm69jy
It's been just a matter of days since Bitcoin has broken a new all-time high in US dollars and yet, things are extremely quiet on the ground level... Your friends aren't texting to find out if now is a good time to buy, the normies at work haven't brought it up to you, and Coinbase isn't even in the top 100 overall apps in the Google Play App Store. As of now, it sits at #164.
In fact, according to Google search trends, worldwide interest in Bitcoin is lower today while setting new all-time highs above $110,000 than it was at the pits of the 2022 bear market when FTX was blowing up and Bitcoin crashed to below $16,000.
the mempool also paints a quiet picture. Itâs mostly empty. Just a few blocksâ worth of transactions waiting to confirm, most paying 1â4 sats/vB. In fact, over the last 144 blocks (about 24 hours), the average fee per transaction has hovered below 1,500 sats, roughly $1.50.
This is far from the behavior found on-chain during previous all-time highs. It reflects an underutilized network predominantly being used by its original power users. Meanwhile, the hash rate climbs relentlessly, month after month, setting record after record. Miners are expending more energy than ever, but fee pressure is nowhere to be found.
ðĩïļââïļ Is Retail In The Room with Us Now?
The typical signs of retail investor enthusiasm, such as increased Google searches, higher Coinbase app downloads, and a congested mempool all remain subdued. This raises the question: Is the current rally predominantly driven by institutional investors, with retail participation lagging behind?
Since the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024, these financial instruments have accumulated nearly 1.21 million bitcoin, with total assets under management exceeding $132 billion (or, 5.75%+ of 21M total BTC). Initially, retail investors were the primary contributors to these inflows, accounting for approximately 80% of the total assets under management as of October 2024. However, more recent trends indicate a shift, with institutional investors, including hedge funds and asset managers, increasing their stakes in Bitcoin ETFs.
Institutional exposure more than doubled from Q3 to Q4 of 2024 according to SEC 13-F filings, whereas assets under management for all non-institutional ETF holders grew by 62%. While retail is responsible for approximately 73.7% of AUM in the ETFs, a small number of institutions represent more than a 26% of the ETF inflows as of the end of 2024.
ðĨī PTSD - Portfolio Trauma & Speculative Disillusionment
For many retail investors, the scars from the 2021â2022 crypto cycle run deep. They bought into the hype near Bitcoin's previous all-time high of $69,000, only to watch their investments plummet to $15,000. The collapse of major platforms like Terra, Celsius, and FTX didn't just erase wealthâit shattered trust.
This collective trauma has left many retail investors wary. They've seen the cycle before: rapid gains followed by devastating losses. The excitement that once drew them into the market has been replaced by caution and skepticism. Even as Bitcoin reaches new heights, the enthusiasm that characterized previous bull runs is noticeably absent.
By all measurable metrics, retail investors appear increasingly reluctant to step outside the comfort of traditional financial rails to gain Bitcoin exposure. In response to past losses and a heightened desire for security, many are now turning to regulated investment vehicles like spot Bitcoin ETFs, offered by institutions such as BlackRock and Fidelity. These products provide a familiar, low-friction on-ramp by eliminating the need for self-custody, avoiding the risks of phishing and exchange hacks, and sidestepping the complexities of managing wallets or navigating volatile crypto platforms. This behavioral shift helps explain why weâre not seeing a surge in mempool congestion, on-chain activity, or crypto exchange downloads. Retail isnât gone per se... they are however predominantly choosing to interact with Bitcoin from a "safe" distance, inside the walled garden of TradFi.
ð§ââïļ Pay No Attention to the Custodian Behind the Curtain
Retail might look like it's back, but it isn't. Not really. They've been rerouted. Herded away from the open network and into the controlled comfort of traditional finance, where Bitcoin is boxed up, regulated, and sold as a familiar financial product.
Spot ETFs from firms like BlackRock offer the illusion of exposure without any of the responsibility or freedom that comes with actually owning Bitcoin. There are no private keys, no ability to withdraw, no direct access to the asset. Most of the Bitcoin that backs those shares sits in Coinbase Custody, inaccessible from the investorâs point of view. Retail can watch the price move, but they can't move a single sat.
They can't send it to family. They can't use Lightning. They can't participate in a fork or vote with their coins. Their holdings are locked inside a financial product, subject to tax surveillance and government oversight, with none of the borderless, censorship-resistant qualities that make Bitcoin what it is.
This isnât Bitcoin as a tool for sovereignty. Itâs Bitcoin as a stock proxy, tucked neatly into retirement accounts and brokerage dashboards. Retail hasn't returned to Bitcoin. They've returned to a synthetic version of it. One that looks clean, feels safe, and doesnât ask them to think too hard.
The crowd is back, but not on the chain. They've returned to price, not protocol.
ðMissing: Retail. Last Seen 2021.
If this bull run feels quieter than the last one, itâs because it is. Retail investors, once the lifeblood of Bitcoin mania, are largely absent from the on-chain activity. Their presence isnât being felt where it used to be.
The reasons are stacking up. Regulatory pressure has increased globally, with new tax reporting rules, stricter KYC requirements, and fewer accessible exchanges making direct participation more frustrating than exciting. At the same time, the opportunity cost has shifted. T-bills are yielding 5 percent, and the stock market is deep in an AI-driven rally that feels new and full of upside. Compared to that, Bitcoinâs core narratives like digital gold or inflation protection no longer feel urgent or unique.
Institutions are now leading through ETFs and futures, smoothing out volatility and removing many of the sudden moves that once drew in retail traders. On-chain user experience still falls behind modern apps, Lightning remains niche, and energy concerns continue to shape public perception. More importantly, the cost of everyday life has gone up. Rent is up. Groceries are expensive. People are stretched thin. Student loans have resumed and homeownership is out of reach for many.
Until those conditions shift, retail is unlikely to return in any meaningful way. It is not that they have given up on Bitcoin. They are simply trying to keep up with everything else.
The chart below illustrates that the number of active Bitcoin addresses has declined by approximately 42% since its peak in 2021.
ð§ē What Pulls Them Back In?
Retail hasnât disappeared. Itâs just not on-chain. Theyâre watching the charts, buying the proxies, and dipping into Bitcoin exposure through familiar vehicles like ETFs and high-beta stocks. MSTR, MSTY, SQ, MARA, and RIOT have become stand-ins for the real thing. For many, that feels close enough. They havenât sworn off Bitcoin entirely, but they also havenât found a reason to return to the protocol itself. Price alone isnât doing it. If Bitcoin is going to recapture retail attention on-chain, it needs more than speculation. It needs to be usable, intuitive, and culturally relevant. Until then, the crowd will stay inside the walled garden, content with price exposure. The question now is what pulls them back into the open network.
ð ïļ Make it Frictionless, or Forget it
Retail wonât return until exploring Bitcoin feels rewarding, not risky. Right now, engaging directly with the network still feels technical, intimidating, and easy to get wrong. The average person doesnât want to learn about seed phrases, fee markets, or signing messages. They just want it to work, and ideally in one tap.
Self-custody, while powerful, still comes with a learning curve that scares most users off. One typo can lose everything. One phishing link can wipe a lifeâs savings. When compared to the ease of buying a Bitcoin ETF inside a brokerage app, it becomes obvious why most people choose comfort over control.
Lightning wallets have improved, but mainstream usability is still far off. Many users struggle with basic concepts like payment channels and inbound liquidity. App store reviews often reflect confusion and frustration. More importantly, Lightning still raises serious questions in a high-fee environment. Opening or closing a channel can become expensive when the base layer gets congested. This undermines Lightningâs value as a low-cost, instant settlement layer. If fees are unpredictable, it becomes harder to trust that Lightning will be there when users actually need it.
Apps like Nostr are beginning to pave the way with native Lightning features like zaps, where users can send sats as tips or signals within a social feed. Itâs the kind of simple, purpose-driven interaction that could eventually normalize Lightning in everyday use. But for now, it remains niche, with limited reach beyond early adopters and Bitcoin-native circles. The pieces are falling into place, but mainstream readiness is still a long way off.
To pull retail back in, Bitcoin has to compete on usability, not just principle. That means seedless recovery. Wallets that back up automatically. Tap-to-pay Lightning. Default privacy. Smarter fee estimation. The average user should not have to study Bitcoin to use it, just like they donât need to understand TCP/IP to send an email.
Until the experience becomes effortless, Bitcoin on-chain will remain the domain of power users and diehards. Everyone else will keep choosing exposure over participation, because for now, the friction outweighs the freedom.
ðĨ Give Them a Reason to Care Again
Speculation brought retail in. Survival might bring them back. But between those extremes, there needs to be a reason to engage that feels meaningful in everyday life. For most people, Bitcoin still doesnât offer that. Itâs not woven into anything they do. Itâs not a tool they reach for. Itâs just a number in a tickerâor now, in an ETF.
The core narratives that once drove adoption have lost their urgency. âDigital goldâ sounds more like a sales pitch than a breakthrough. âInflation hedgeâ didnât hold up during inflation. âOpt out of the banking systemâ is hard to relate to when your paycheck hits a checking account and your bills are on autopay. These messages worked when people were curious or scared. But in a world focused on AI, passive income, and stable yields, Bitcoin feels like a cold, hard asset with no warm story.
Retail doesnât just need new slogans. They need a new reason. A killer app. A cultural hook. Something that connects the protocol to their daily life. That could come from anywhereâremittances, peer-to-peer media, AI payments, creator tools, censorship resistance, even gaming. Weâre starting to see glimpses. Nostrâs Lightning zaps, for example, show how sats could flow through social interactions. It's lightweight, casual, and fits into habits people already have. But even that is still early and relatively isolated from the mainstream.
Of course, itâs possible that price alone brings them back. A violent move toward $200,000 or higher could generate headlines, social buzz, and another wave of opportunistic buying. But even in that scenario, most people still won't touch the protocol. Theyâll chase exposure, not interaction. Theyâll buy tickers, not UTXOs.
Retail will come back when Bitcoin stops being an idea they watch and starts being a tool they use. Until then, attention might spike, but engagement will remain shallow.
ð Bitcoin Needs a Homebase
Bitcoin is everywhere, but it feels like itâs nowhere. There's no single place where the culture lives. No town square. No digital front porch where holders, builders, speculators, artists, and newcomers all cross paths. And that absence is being felt.
In past cycles, Twitter served as a kind of home for Bitcoin discussion. But now the conversation is fractured. Memes, developer talk, Lightning experiments, and exchange drama are scattered across Telegram groups, Nostr relays, GitHub repos, Reddit threads, and gated newsletters. Thereâs no central venue that brings it all together. What once felt like a movement now feels more like a loose network of subcultures.
This isnât just a cultural gap. Itâs a usability gap. Without a shared space or interface, discovering Bitcoin's tools, communities, or use cases becomes a fragmented and overwhelming experience. For newcomers especially, it turns exploration into a scavenger hunt. Thereâs no hub where someone can casually browse peer-to-peer markets, tip someone over Lightning, try a game, test a wallet, or ask basic questions without feeling out of place.
Importantly, this homebase shouldnât be a corporate platform or single point of failure. It should reflect the values of the network itselfâopen, decentralized, secure, and resistant to censorship. A sovereign space, not another walled garden. Something that anyone can plug into, build on top of, or access freely without needing permission or credentials. Not a headquarters, but a commons.
Bitcoin doesnât need a leader, but it could use a center of gravity. A place where its many threads can be visible, accessible, and in conversation with each other. Until it feels like something you can step into, most people wonât feel like theyâre truly part of it.
ð§ĩ Final Thoughts
Retail didnât disappear. It checked out. After wild volatility, failed platforms, and busted narratives, most people aren't rushing back into the Bitcoin Network as we know it. Theyâve opted for safety. For simplicity. For familiar rails like ETFs, proxy stocks, and apps that feel intuitive and risk-free.
Bitcoin, meanwhile, has matured in price but not necessarily in presence. The protocol is stronger than ever, but the culture feels scattered. The use cases feel theoretical. The experience still feels fragile. And for most, that's just not enough.
Maybe retail comes back with the next crisis. Maybe it takes a breakout product. Or maybe it doesnât happen for years. No one knows what the catalyst will be, or if there even has to be one. But whatâs clear is that Bitcoinâs next chapter wonât be won by price alone. It will be shaped by the tools we build, the stories we tell, and the places we create for people to show up.
One thing I know for sure: if retail returns, it wonât be for long unless weâve built something that gives them a real reason to stay.

Version 1.3 of Bitcoin Safe introduces a redesigned interactive chart, quick receive feature, updated icons, a mempool preview window, support for Child Pays For Parent (CPFP) and testnet4, preconfigured testnet demo wallets, as well as various bug fixes and improvements.
-
Upcoming updates for Bitcoin Safe include Compact Block Filters.
"Compact Block Filters increase the network privacy dramatically, since you're not asking an electrum server to give you your transactions. They are a little slower than electrum servers. For a savings wallet like Bitcoin Safe this should be OK," writes the project's developer Andreas Griffin.
- Learn more about the current and upcoming features of Bitcoin Safe wallet here.
What's new in v1.3
- Redesign of Chart, Quick Receive, Icons, and Mempool Preview (by @design-rrr).
- Interactive chart. Clicking on it now jumps to transaction, and selected transactions are now highlighted.
- Speed up transactions with Child Pays For Parent (CPFP).
- BDK 1.2 (upgraded from 0.32).
- Testnet4 support.
- Preconfigured Testnet demo wallets.

Bitcoin Well Integrates Nostr BTC Purchases via DMsBitcoin Well Inc. (TSXV: BTCW; OTCQB: BCNWF) has launched an integration with Nostr, allowing US customers to buy bitcoin directly through direct messages on the decentralized social protocol, according to a press release sent to Bitcoin Magazine.
Users can link their Nostr identifier (npub) to their Bitcoin Well account and purchase bitcoin by sending specific commands via direct message. The transactions draw from the userâs Cash Balance and send the purchased bitcoin to their existing Lightning Wallet for security.
Nostr is a decentralized social media protocol which is censorship resistant and runs on a network of relays, rather than centralized servers. This means that the users have full control over their message servers. It also adds a layer of protection for the customerâs privacy.
The integration simplifies the process of buying bitcoin by allowing users to make purchases directly through a social platform they already use. As a censorship-resistant protocol, Nostr ensures Bitcoin Well and its customers have full control, avoiding restrictions and potential censorship.
âThis is a great achievement for our team!â said founder and CEO of Bitcoin Well Adam OâBrien. âWe are deeply committed to make buying bitcoin directly to self custody better than using a custodial exchange. This is a huge step in the right direction. We are meeting bitcoiners where they are and allowing them to buy bitcoin safely.â
Users can link their npub to their Bitcoin Well account to enable bitcoin purchases via direct message. Commands like /buy $21.00 or /stack 69000 sats initiate a transaction, which is confirmed by sending /confirm. The purchase uses funds from the userâs Bitcoin Well Cash Balance, and bitcoin is delivered over the Lightning Network to a pre-registered wallet address.

2025-05-27 18:20:42VocÊ trabalha 5 meses do ano somente para pagar impostos. Ou seja, 42% da sua renda serve para bancar serviços pÚblicos de pÃĐssima qualidade. Mesmo que vocÊ tivesse a liberdade de usar esses 42% da sua renda para contratar serviços privados de qualidade (saÚde, segurança e ensino), ainda assim vocÊ seria um escravo porque vocÊ recebe dinheiro em troca do seu trabalho, e o dinheiro perde cerca de 10% do valor a cada ano. Em outras palavras todo seu dinheiro que sobra depois de comprar comida, vestuÃĄrio e moradia perde 100% do valor a cada 10 anos. Isso acontece porque o Estado imprime dinheiro do nada e joga na economia de propÃģsito para gerar INFLAÃÃO e manter todos nÃģs escravizados. VocÊ pode deixar seu dinheiro investido em qualquer aplicaçÃĢo que imaginar e ainda assim nunca terÃĄ uma rentabilidade superior a inflaçÃĢo real. No final, acaba perdendo tudo do mesmo jeito. Caso vocÊ se ache esperto por investir o que sobra da sua renda em bens durÃĄveis como imÃģveis ou veÃculos, sabia que esses bens tambÃĐm nÃĢo sÃĢo seus, porque se deixar de pagar os impostos desses bens (iptu, itr, ipva) vocÊ tambÃĐm perde tudo. AlÃĐm disso, o custo de manutençÃĢo desses bens deve ser levado em consideraçÃĢo na conta das novas dÃvidas que vocÊ assumiu. No caso dos imÃģveis urbanos ÃĐ impossÃvel alugÃĄ-lo por mais de 0,38% do seu valor mensalmente. Em outras palavras, a cada ano vocÊ recebe menos de 5% do que investiu, tem que pagar o custo de manutençÃĢo, mais impostos e a valorizaçÃĢo do bem nunca serÃĄ superior a inflaçÃĢo real, tambÃĐm fazendo vocÊ perder quase tudo em cerca de 15 anos. A situaçÃĢo ÃĐ ainda pior com os imÃģveis rurais e veÃculos, basta fazer as contas. Caso o dinheiro que vocÊ receba em troca do seu trabalho seja suficiente apenas para comprar comida, vestuÃĄrio e moradia, vocÊ jÃĄ sabe que ÃĐ um escravo nÃĐ?âĶ Precisamos entender que a escravidÃĢo nÃĢo acabou, apenas foi democratizada. Hoje a escravidÃĢo ÃĐ financeira, nÃģs somos os castiços e os donos do dinheiro sÃĢo o senhorio. Os donos do dinheiro sÃĢo os Globalistas e os Estados seus fantoches. O esquema ÃĐ simples: fazer todo mundo trabalhar em troca de algo que perde 100% do valor a cada 10 anos, ou seja o dinheiro. Se vocÊ pudesse trabalhar em troca de algo que aumentasse de valor acima da inflaçÃĢo real a cada 10 anos vocÊ finalmente conquistaria sua liberdade financeira e deixaria de ser escravo. Pois bem, isso jÃĄ ÃĐ possÃvel, e nÃĢo se trata de ouro ou imÃģveis e sim sobre o Bitcoin, que sobe de valor mais de 100% a cada 10 anos, com a vantagem de ser inconfiscÃĄvel e de fÃĄcil transferÊncia para seus herdeiros quando vocÊ morrer, atravÃĐs de uma simples transaçÃĢo LockTime feita em vida. Portanto, mesmo que vocÊ nÃĢo tenha dinheiro para comprar Bitcoin, passar a aceitar Bitcoin em troca de seus produtos e serviços ÃĐ a Única forma de se libertar da escravidÃĢo financeira. A carta de alforria financeira proporcionada pelo Bitcoin nÃĢo ÃĐ imediata, pois a velocidade da sua libertaçÃĢo depende do quanto vocÊ estÃĄ disposto a aprender sobre o assunto. Eu estou aqui para te ajudar, caso queira. No futuro o Bitcoin estarÃĄ tÃĢo presente na sua vida quanto o pix e o cartÃĢo de crÃĐdito, vocÊ querendo ou nÃĢo. Assim como o cartÃĢo de crÃĐdito foi a evoluçÃĢo do cheque pÃģs-datado e o pix a evoluçÃĢo do cartÃĢo, o Bitcoin e outras criptomoedas serÃĢo a evoluçÃĢo de todos esses meios de pagamento. O que te ofereço ÃĐ a oportunidade de aboliçÃĢo da sua escravatura antes dos demais escravos acordarem para a realidade, afinal a histÃģria sempre se repete: desde o ano de 1300 a.c. a escravidÃĢo era defendida pelos prÃģprios escravos, que mais cedo ou mais tarde, foram libertados por MoisÃĐs em Êxodo 11 da BÃblia Sagrada e hoje o povo de israel se tornou a naçÃĢo mais rica do mundo. A mesma histÃģria se repetiu na Roma Antiga: com o pÃĢo e circo. Da mesma forma todo esse impÃĐrio escravocrata ruiu porque mais cedo ou mais tarde os escravos se revoltam, bastam as coisas piorarem bastante. O atual regime de escravidÃĢo teve inÃcio com a queda do padrÃĢo-ouro para impressÃĢo do dinheiro no ano de 1944. A escravidÃĢo apenas ficou mais sofisticada, pois em vez de pagar os escravos com cerveja como no Egito Antigo ou com pÃĢo e circo como na Roma Antiga, passou-se a pagar os escravos com dinheiro sem lastro, ou seja dinheiro inventado, criado do nada, sem qualquer representaçÃĢo com a riqueza real da economia. Mesmo sendo a escravidÃĢo atual mais sofisticada, que deixou de ser fÃsica para ser financeira, o que torna a mentira mais bem contada, mais cedo ou mais tarde os escravos modernos irÃĢo acordar, basta as coisas piorarem mais ou perceberem que todos os bens e serviços do mundo nÃĢo representam nem 1% de todo o dinheiro que impresso sem lastro. Em outras palavras, se os donos de todo o dinheiro do mundo resolvessem utilizÃĄ-lo para comprar tudo o que existe à venda, o preço do quilo do cafÃĐ subiria para R$ 297.306,00 e o preço mÃĐdio dos imÃģveis subiria para um nÚmero tÃĢo grande que sequer caberia nesta folha de papel. Hoje, o dinheiro nÃĢo vale nada, seus donos sabem disso e optam por entregar o dinheiro aos poucos para os escravos em troca do seu trabalho, para manter o atual regime o mÃĄximo de tempo possÃvel. Mesmo assim, o atual regime de escravidÃĢo financeira estÃĄ com os dias contados e depende de vocÊ se posicionar antes do efeito manada. Nunca ÃĐ tarde para entrar no Bitcoin, mesmo ele tendo uma quantidade de emissÃĢo limitada, seu valor subirÃĄ infinitamente. A menor unidade do Bitcoin ÃĐ o satoshi, cuja abreviaçÃĢo ÃĐ sats. Diferente do centavo, cada sat vale um centÃĐsimo milionÃĐsimo de bitcoin. Hoje (25/05/25), cada unidade de Bitcoin equivale a setecentos mil reais. Logo, cada R$ 0,01 equivale à 0,007 sats. Lembrando que o centavo ÃĐ um real dividido por cem e o sat ÃĐ um bitcoin dividido por cem milhÃĩes, por isso ainda nÃĢo existe a paridade entre 1 centavo de real e 1 sat. Essa paridade serÃĄ alcançada quando um Bitcoin passar a valer um milhÃĢo de reais. Com a velocidade que nosso dinheiro estÃĄ perdendo valor isso nÃĢo irÃĄ demorar muito. Utilizando dados econÃīmicos avançados, prevejo que cada unidade de Bitcoin passarÃĄ a valer hum milhÃĢo de reais atÃĐ o ano de 2029, assim equiparando 1 sat para cada R$ 0,01. Nesse momento, certamente muitos empresÃĄrios, comerciantes e profissionais liberais passarÃĢo a aceitar o Bitcoin como forma de pagamento pelos seus produtos e serviços, assim como o cheque foi substituÃdo pelo cartÃĢo de crÃĐdito e o cartÃĢo pelo pix. Sabendo disso, vocÊ pode entrar na onda de transiçÃĢo no futuro junto com a manada e perder essa alta valorizaçÃĢo, ou passar a aceitar Bitcoin agora pelos seus produtos e serviços, assinando assim, a prÃģpria carta de alforria da sua escravidÃĢo financeira. à importante dizer que os prÃģprios globalistas e governos estÃĢo trocando dinheiro por Bitcoin como nunca na histÃģria e mesmo que eles adquiram todos os bitcoins disponÃveis, ainda assim nÃĢo serÃĄ mais possÃvel manter seu regime de escravidÃĢo financeira funcionando porque a emissÃĢo de Bitcoin ÃĐ limitada, sendo impossÃvel criar Bitcoin sem lastro, como ÃĐ feito com o dinheiro hoje. Com o presente artigo, te ofereço a oportunidade de conquistar seus primeiros sats agora, de forma segura e independente, sem precisar de corretoras, bancos, intermediÃĄrios ou terceiros, basta vocÊ querer pois toda a informaçÃĢo necessÃĄria estÃĄ disponÃvel na internet gratuitamente. Se ainda assim vocÊ quiser continuar sendo escravo financeiro, depois nÃĢo adiantar se arrepender quando as janelas de oportunidade se fecharem, o Drex for implantado, papel moeda restringido e sua vida piorar bastante. Importante mencionar que a Lei Brasileira ainda permite a movimentaçÃĢo de atÃĐ R$ 30.000,00 em Bitcoin por mÊs sem a necessidade de declaraçÃĢo à Receita Federal e que esse direito pode deixar de existir a qualquer momento, e que quando o Drex for implantado vocÊ perderÃĄ diversos outros direitos, dentre ele a liberdade de gastar seu dinheiro como quiser e o sigilo. Ofereço ainda, a oportunidade de vocÊ baixar uma carteira de Bitcoin gratuita e segura no seu aparelho de celular que funciona de forma semelhante a um banco digital como Nubank e Pagseguro por exemplo, para poder começar à receber Bitcoin pelos seus produtos e serviços agora, de forma fÃĄcil e gratuita. Utilizando o qrcode abaixo vocÊ ainda ganha alguns sats de graça, promoçÃĢo vÃĄlida atÃĐ o dia 29/05/25 e patrocinada pela Corretora Blink de El Salvador, onde o Bitcoin jÃĄ ÃĐ moeda oficial do paÃs, basta acessar o link e instalar o aplicativo: https://get.blink.sv/btcvale
Aviso: disponibilizei o link da carteira de Bitcoin da Corretora Blink apenas como exemplo de como ÃĐ fÃĄcil aceitar Bitcoin como forma de pagamento pelos seus produtos e serviços. NÃĢo recomento depender de qualquer corretora para guardar seus valores em Bitcoin. A melhor forma de fazer isso ÃĐ mantendo dois computadores ou notebook em casa, um conectado à internet com memÃģria em disco disponÃvel de 1 terabyte ou mais para armazenar e visualizar suas transaçÃĩes e outro computador ou notebook desconectado da internet para armazenar suas senhas e chaves privadas para assinar as transaçÃĩes via pendrive. Somente assim vocÊ estarÃĄ 100% livre e seguro. Importante ainda fazer backup em vÃĄrios CDs com criptografia do seu computador ou notebook que assina as transaçÃĩes, assim tambÃĐm ficando 100% livre e seguro para restaurar sua carteira em qualquer outro computador caso necessÃĄrio. Todas as instruçÃĩes de como fazer isso jÃĄ estÃĢo disponÃveis gratuitamente na internet. Caso deseje contratar uma consultoria pessoal que inclui aulas particulares por vÃdeo conferÊncia, onde vocÊ aprenderÃĄ:
â Tudo o que precisa saber sobre Bitcoin e demais criptomoedas; â Sistema operacional Linux; â Como instalar sua carteira de Bitcoin em dois computadores para assinaturas air gapped; â Se manter 100% livre e seguro. â Com carga horÃĄria à combinar conforme sua disponibilidade.
O custo do investimento pelo meu serviço individual para esse tipo de consultoria ÃĐ de 204.000 sats (R$ 1.543,46 na cotaçÃĢo atual) valor vÃĄlido atÃĐ 31/07/25, interessados entrar em contato por aqui ou atravÃĐs da Matrix: @davipinheiro:matrix.org https://davipinheiro.com/voce-e-escravo-e-nem-sabe-eu-vou-te-provar-agora/

Da mesma forma todo esse impÃĐrio escravocrata ruiu porque mais cedo ou mais tarde os escravos se revoltam, bastam as coisas piorarem bastante. O atual regime de escravidÃĢo teve inÃcio com a queda do padrÃĢo-ouro para impressÃĢo do dinheiro no ano de 1944. A escravidÃĢo apenas ficou mais sofisticada, pois em vez de pagar os escravos com cerveja como no Egito Antigo ou com pÃĢo e circo como na Roma Antiga, passou-se a pagar os escravos com dinheiro sem lastro, ou seja dinheiro inventado, criado do nada, sem qualquer representaçÃĢo com a riqueza real da economia. Mesmo sendo a escravidÃĢo atual mais sofisticada, que deixou de ser fÃsica para ser financeira, o que torna a mentira mais bem contada, mais cedo ou mais tarde os escravos modernos irÃĢo acordar, basta as coisas piorarem mais ou perceberem que todos os bens e serviços do mundo nÃĢo representam nem 1% de todo o dinheiro que impresso sem lastro. Em outras palavras, se os donos de todo o dinheiro do mundo resolvessem utilizÃĄ-lo para comprar tudo o que existe à venda, o preço do quilo do cafÃĐ subiria para R$ 297.306,00 e o preço mÃĐdio dos imÃģveis subiria para um nÚmero tÃĢo grande que sequer caberia nesta folha de papel. Hoje, o dinheiro nÃĢo vale nada, seus donos sabem disso e optam por entregar o dinheiro aos poucos para os escravos em troca do seu trabalho, para manter o atual regime o mÃĄximo de tempo possÃvel. Mesmo assim, o atual regime de escravidÃĢo financeira estÃĄ com os dias contados e depende de vocÊ se posicionar antes do efeito manada. Nunca ÃĐ tarde para entrar no Bitcoin, mesmo ele tendo uma quantidade de emissÃĢo limitada, seu valor subirÃĄ infinitamente. A menor unidade do Bitcoin ÃĐ o satoshi, cuja abreviaçÃĢo ÃĐ sats. Diferente do centavo, cada sat vale um centÃĐsimo milionÃĐsimo de bitcoin. Hoje (25/05/25), cada unidade de Bitcoin equivale a setecentos mil reais. Logo, cada R$ 0,01 equivale à 0,007 sats. Lembrando que o centavo ÃĐ um real dividido por cem e o sat ÃĐ um bitcoin dividido por cem milhÃĩes, por isso ainda nÃĢo existe a paridade entre 1 centavo de real e 1 sat. Essa paridade serÃĄ alcançada quando um Bitcoin passar a valer um milhÃĢo de reais. Com a velocidade que nosso dinheiro estÃĄ perdendo valor isso nÃĢo irÃĄ demorar muito. Utilizando dados econÃīmicos avançados, prevejo que cada unidade de Bitcoin passarÃĄ a valer hum milhÃĢo de reais atÃĐ o ano de 2029, assim equiparando 1 sat para cada R$ 0,01. Nesse momento, certamente muitos empresÃĄrios, comerciantes e profissionais liberais passarÃĢo a aceitar o Bitcoin como forma de pagamento pelos seus produtos e serviços, assim como o cheque foi substituÃdo pelo cartÃĢo de crÃĐdito e o cartÃĢo pelo pix. Sabendo disso, vocÊ pode entrar na onda de transiçÃĢo no futuro junto com a manada e perder essa alta valorizaçÃĢo, ou passar a aceitar Bitcoin agora pelos seus produtos e serviços, assinando assim, a prÃģpria carta de alforria da sua escravidÃĢo financeira. à importante dizer que os prÃģprios globalistas e governos estÃĢo trocando dinheiro por Bitcoin como nunca na histÃģria e mesmo que eles adquiram todos os bitcoins disponÃveis, ainda assim nÃĢo serÃĄ mais possÃvel manter seu regime de escravidÃĢo financeira funcionando porque a emissÃĢo de Bitcoin ÃĐ limitada, sendo impossÃvel criar Bitcoin sem lastro, como ÃĐ feito com o dinheiro hoje. Com o presente artigo, te ofereço a oportunidade de conquistar seus primeiros sats agora, de forma segura e independente, sem precisar de corretoras, bancos, intermediÃĄrios ou terceiros, basta vocÊ querer pois toda a informaçÃĢo necessÃĄria estÃĄ disponÃvel na internet gratuitamente. Se ainda assim vocÊ quiser continuar sendo escravo financeiro, depois nÃĢo adiantar se arrepender quando as janelas de oportunidade se fecharem, o Drex for implantado, papel moeda restringido e sua vida piorar bastante. Importante mencionar que a Lei Brasileira ainda permite a movimentaçÃĢo de atÃĐ R$ 30.000,00 em Bitcoin por mÊs sem a necessidade de declaraçÃĢo à Receita Federal e que esse direito pode deixar de existir a qualquer momento, e que quando o Drex for implantado vocÊ perderÃĄ diversos outros direitos, dentre ele a liberdade de gastar seu dinheiro como quiser e o sigilo. Ofereço ainda, a oportunidade de vocÊ baixar uma carteira de Bitcoin gratuita e segura no seu aparelho de celular que funciona de forma semelhante a um banco digital como Nubank e Pagseguro por exemplo, para poder começar à receber Bitcoin pelos seus produtos e serviços agora, de forma fÃĄcil e gratuita. Utilizando o qrcode abaixo vocÊ ainda ganha alguns sats de graça, promoçÃĢo vÃĄlida atÃĐ o dia 29/05/25 e patrocinada pela Corretora Blink de El Salvador, onde o Bitcoin jÃĄ ÃĐ moeda oficial do paÃs, basta acessar o link e instalar o aplicativo: https://get.blink.sv/btcvale
Aviso: disponibilizei o link da carteira de Bitcoin da Corretora Blink apenas como exemplo de como ÃĐ fÃĄcil aceitar Bitcoin como forma de pagamento pelos seus produtos e serviços. NÃĢo recomento depender de qualquer corretora para guardar seus valores em Bitcoin. A melhor forma de fazer isso ÃĐ mantendo dois computadores ou notebook em casa, um conectado à internet com memÃģria em disco disponÃvel de 1 terabyte ou mais para armazenar e visualizar suas transaçÃĩes e outro computador ou notebook desconectado da internet para armazenar suas senhas e chaves privadas para assinar as transaçÃĩes via pendrive. Somente assim vocÊ estarÃĄ 100% livre e seguro. Importante ainda fazer backup em vÃĄrios CDs com criptografia do seu computador ou notebook que assina as transaçÃĩes, assim tambÃĐm ficando 100% livre e seguro para restaurar sua carteira em qualquer outro computador caso necessÃĄrio.

2025-05-28 10:30:32Deutschland ist eines der wenigen LÃĪnder mit einer gesetzlich verankerten ausnahmslosen Schulbesuchspflicht. Mit den SchulschlieÃungen in der Corona-Zeit wurde das Gesetz jedoch faktisch plÃķtzlich auÃer Kraft gesetzt. Alle mussten zu Hause lernen. Als die Schulen danach wieder offen waren, wurden die Kinder mit Maskenpflicht, Tests und Impfdruck gequÃĪlt. Nicht selten traten bei den SchÞlern Krankheiten und psychische StÃķrungen auf. Nicht wenige Eltern suchten im GesprÃĪch mit dem Lehrerkollegium nach LÃķsungen fÞr ihre Kinder. In den meisten FÃĪllen war das nicht mÃķglich. Die Lehrer waren auf die neue Ideologie und die Durchsetzung der MaÃnahmen eingeschworen und hatten Angst. Einige Eltern haben ihre Kinder dann in eigener Verantwortung aus der Schule genommen und zu Hause selbst unterrichtet. An manchen Orten fanden sich Gemeinschaften, wo die Kinder in Gruppen lernten. WÃĪhrend viele Lerngemeinschaften nicht mehr existieren, hat die Familie von Katharina den Unterricht fÞr ihre drei Kinder in Eigenregie etabliert. Inzwischen haben sie dafÞr sogar âden Segenâ von Familiengericht und Jugendamt.
Katharina und Johannes leben mit ihren drei Wunschkindern Aurelius (15), Benjamin (14) und Friedrich (10) in einem Vorort von Leipzig. Die Familie wohnte frÞher in der Stadt. In der Corona-Zeit haben sie sich mit dem Physiotherapie- & Seminarzentrum Curasanus eine Existenz auf dem Land aufgebaut und begehen diesen Sommer ihr 20-jÃĪhriges Praxis-JubilÃĪum. Katharina hat ihre Arbeit als Physiotherapeutin weitgehend aufgegeben, um sich als Mama und Lernbegleiterin ihren Kindern widmen zu kÃķnnen. Daneben bietet sie VortrÃĪge und Workshops an, Þbernimmt einen groÃen Teil der Praxis-Organisation und ist Manager, Rezeptionistin und Vertriebler der eigenen Firma. Wir besuchten einen ihrer Lachyoga-Kurse. Dabei erlebten wir ihr Zusammenspiel mit den drei Kindern. AnschlieÃend stellten wir Katharina unsere Fragen zum Freilernen.
Im unmittelbaren Umfeld wird die Familie bestaunt und geachtet. Sie haben sich bewusst fÞr das Freilernen entschieden. Die Kinder wurden ohne Test nicht mehr in die Schule gelassen. Auch andere ZwangsmaÃnahmen wie die Maske wollten die Eltern den Kindern ersparen. Besonders Benjamin hatte traumatische Erlebnisse. Seine Lehrerin schmiss mit dem SchlÞssel nach den SchÞlern und wandte andere schwarze PÃĪdagogik an. Er ging stÃĪndig mit Bauchschmerzen ins Bett. Ein weiterer Punkt ist die Masernimpfung. Die Kinder kÃķnnten zwar zur Schule gehen, aber die Eltern werden mit rechtlichen MaÃnahmen und Zwangszahlungen belegt. Da Katharina in ihrer Praxis viele Erkrankungen als Folge der Masernimpfung beobachten konnte, lehnt sie die Pflichtimpfung ab. Die Eltern haben kein Vertrauen mehr in die staatliche Schulerziehung mit all dem Zwang und den Erpressungen. Als die Familie den Entschluss gefasst hatte, die Kinder nicht mehr in die Schule zu schicken, haben sie ihre Praxis vorÞbergehend geschlossen, ihr Haus verkauft und sind auf Reisen gegangen. Die beiden groÃen Kinder wurden von der Schule abgemeldet. Nach der RÞckkehr haben sie dann mit einem neuen Leben auf dem Land begonnen.
Lernen ohne Schule: Wie geht das?
âWissen ist Macht und eine Holschuldâ, sagt uns Katharina. Das ist ihr Motto und motiviert auch die Kinder. Mit dem Unterricht zu Hause macht die Familie ihre eigene Studie und zeigt, dass Lernen auch anders geht als in der Schule. Die Eltern kÃķnnen viel besser auf jedes einzelne Kind eingehen. Johannes arbeitete frÞher als StraÃenbauer. Er unterstÞtzt die Jungs vor allem in Mathematik, Geometrie und Physik sowie bei handwerklichen Fertigkeiten. Katharinas StÃĪrken liegen in Deutsch, Sprachen und Organisation. Unter den Patienten ihrer Praxis gibt es Lehrer, die ihnen helfen. Weitere UnterstÞtzung kommt von Freunden und Bekannten. Bei bestimmten Projekten treffen sie auf andere Freilernerkinder. âDas Netzwerk wird immer grÃķÃer, es wird immer schÃķner und interessanterâ, sagt Katharina. Man geht mit vielen anderen einen gemeinsamen Weg, verlÃĪsst dabei eingetretene Pfade und erkundet neue Themenfelder wie Mediengestaltung, freie Energie, Elektrotherapie, meditatives und Improvisations-Zeichnen. âIch sprudele vor Ideen. Sie kommen in mein Feld, und dann mache ich was drausâ, sagt Katharina. Die Jungs sind in Wurzen im Ringelnatz-Literaturkreis. Dort schreiben sie Drehbuchgeschichten und haben einen Film produziert. Sie suchen sich Projekte oder kreieren neue, wie mit dem Planetarium Eilenburg. Diese Zusammenarbeit hat sich sehr gut entwickelt. Dort lernen 4- bis 15-JÃĪhrige zusammen. Die drei Jungs spielen Klavier. Erdkunde und Geschichte erleben die Kinder auch dadurch, dass die Familie HauptstÃĪdte oder die bosnischen Pyramiden selbst erkundet. Dabei erweist es sich als Vorteil, nicht auf die Ferienzeiten angewiesen zu sein.
Als Physiotherapeutin ist Katharina bewusst, dass man neue Lernstrategien entwickeln muss. Die Kinder lernen unterschiedlich. Jedes Kind hat seinen eigenen Charakter. Aurelius benÃķtigt eher eine 1:1-Betreuung. Darauf kann Katharina viel individueller eingehen als die staatliche Schule. Es ist aber auch aufwendiger und anstrengender. Besonderen Wert legt sie darauf, dass rechte und linke GehirnhÃĪlfte gleichmÃĪÃig beansprucht werden. Lernphasen werden immer wieder mit Entspannungs- oder Bewegungsphasen kombiniert. Sie weiÃ, dass den Kindern zuerst die Grundlagen des Lesens, Rechnens und Schreibens vermittelt werden mÞssen. Dann sind sie in der Lage, sich alles Weitere selbst anzueignen â UnterstÞtzung vorausgesetzt. âBesonders das Schreiben mit der eigenen Hand ist wichtig fÞr die Vernetzung der beiden GehirnhÃĪlftenâ, sagt Katharina. DafÞr nehmen sich die Eltern Zeit. Die Kinder fÞhren Tagebuch. AuÃerdem halten es die Eltern fÞr wichtig, den Kindern Werte und Tugenden wie Dankbarkeit, VerlÃĪsslichkeit, Beharrlichkeit, Aufrichtigkeit, Ehrlichkeit und die zehn Gebote zu vermitteln. Katharina und Johannes sind beide religiÃķs begleitet aufgewachsen. Heute sehen sie die Kirche als Institution kritisch. Angebunden an die SchÃķpfung und im Gottvertrauen erschaffen und schÃķpfen sie Leben und Lebensraum aus eigener Kraft â so erklÃĪrt es uns Katharina.
Ein weiteres Thema sind die Funktionen des KÃķrpers und wie sich die Kinder gesund erhalten kÃķnnen. Vieles lernen sie dabei in der Physiotherapiepraxis. Die Familie hat das Privileg, in ihrem eigenen Biorhythmus leben zu kÃķnnen. âDas macht sehr viel aus â wir sind alle gesundâ, sagt Katharina. Der Lern- und Arbeitstag beginnt nicht vor 9 Uhr und hat eine eigene Struktur. Im Tagesablauf sind feste Verantwortlichkeiten integriert. So wechseln sich die Kinder aller drei Tage mit Tischdecken, Staubsaugen und GeschirrspÞler ab. Das hilft ihnen, sich selbst zu organisieren. Das geht nicht immer reibungslos vonstatten. Wenn das Lernpensum beizeiten abgearbeitet wurde, helfen die Kinder im Haushalt oder Garten oder gehen ihrem Bewegungsdrang auf andere Weise nach. Die Eltern sind am Abend noch lÃĪnger aktiv, denn die Praxis erfordert noch die eine oder andere bÞrokratische Pflicht. Die Familie ist sehr naturverbunden. Sie gehen viel in den Wald und in den Garten. Sie bauen selbst GemÞse und Obst an. Dabei kÃķnnen die Kinder zum Beispiel Erfahrungen mit Permakultur und natÞrlicher DÞngung sammeln. Die Familie achtet auf die ErnÃĪhrung, schlieÃlich ist Katharina seit fast 25 Jahren ErnÃĪhrungsberaterin. Was sie nicht selbst anbauen, wird beim Bauern des Vertrauens eingekauft. Die Jungs kÃķnnen selbst kochen und backen. Die SchÃĪdlichkeit von Zucker ist den Kindern schon bewusst geworden, ohne gÃĪnzlich auf Schokolade verzichten zu mÞssen. Medikamente gibt es im Haushalt nicht. Sie kennen sich sehr gut mit den Heilmitteln aus der Natur aus und kÃķnnen so ihre SelbstheilungskrÃĪfte aktivieren. Sie haben keinen Hausarzt. NatÞrlich hat keines der Kinder ein Handy. Bisher haben sie noch kein Verlangen danach. Die Eltern halten es fÞr wichtig, dass die Kinder erst sicher bei Selbstorganisation und Tagesstruktur sind, bevor sie ein Handy bekommen. Katharina weist darauf hin, dass beispielsweise WhatsApp erst ab 16 Jahren zugelassen ist, und fragt sich, ob das andere Eltern wissen.
Gesetze auf AugenhÃķhe auslegen
Den BehÃķrden blieben die Freilerner nicht verborgen. Sie wurden aktiv und schalteten das Familiengericht ein. Die Familie hatte keinen Anwalt und keine Rechtsschutzversicherung. Katharina erzÃĪhlt uns, dass sie schlieÃlich auf âHilfe von obenâ gehofft habe. Irgendwer hat sie anscheinend erhÃķrt, denn sie bekamen âeinen Engelâ als Verfahrensbeistand. Die BehÃķrden waren sehr zugÃĪnglich. In den GesprÃĪchen gab man zu, mit der Schulsituation ebenfalls nicht zufrieden zu sein. âWir wollen so wie ihr, dass sich etwas verÃĪndert. Wir sind an Eurer Seite.â Die GesprÃĪche mit dem Jugendamt und der Richterin vom Familiengericht Grimma waren immer auf AugenhÃķhe. SchlieÃlich legte man der Familie keine Steine in den Weg. Damit kann Katharina ihr Konzept nach auÃen leben und andere inspirieren. Ihre Schlussfolgerung: Eltern mÞssen sich ihrer StÃĪrken bewusst werden und aus ihrer Angst herauskommen. Das Konzept muss aber zur Familie passen, denn jede Familie ist anders.
Die Basis fÞr freies Lernen ist das Vertrauen der Eltern in ihre Kinder. Denn Kinder sind von Natur aus wissbegierig und wollen lernen. Katharina hat viel von Bertrand Stern und von Riccardo Leppe gelernt. Beiden wurde von ihren Eltern das Lernen ohne Schulbesuch ermÃķglicht. Mit Bertrand Stern hat Katharina Kontakt. Er wird im November am BuÃ- und Bettag eine kleine Fortbildung im Therapie- und Seminarzentrum geben. FÞr den Vorabend ist ein Vortrag geplant. Katharina zitiert Riccardo Leppe: âEs ÃĪndert sich nur was, wenn man es selbst tut.â Er sei sich sicher, dass der Fortschritt beim Freilernen inzwischen so weit ist, dass âdie Paste nicht wieder zurÞck in die Tube gehtâ.
Der Ãbergang zur Berufsausbildung
Die ersten Freilernerkinder kommen jetzt in das Alter, in dem sie eine Berufsausbildung beginnen kÃķnnen. Aurelius und Benjamin, die beiden âGroÃenâ, machen seit Anfang des Jahres schon erste Praktika bei ortsansÃĪssigen Handwerksbetrieben. Beide Seiten sind sehr zufrieden. Durch die Praktika, die lÃĪnger dauern als im schulischen Lehrplan vorgesehen, kÃķnnen sich die Kinder ausprobieren. Katharina findet es interessant miterleben zu dÞrfen, wie auf ihre Kinder reagiert wird. Bringen sie etwas mit, das die anderen nicht haben? Denken sie anders mit? Benjamin bekam schon ein Angebot, in einem Metallbau-Betrieb stundenweise mitzuarbeiten. In den Betrieben weià man, dass die AbschlÞsse der staatlichen Schulen grÃķÃtenteils das Papier nicht wert sind, auf dem sie stehen. Viele verlassen die Schule und kÃķnnen kaum lesen und schreiben, von Selbstorganisation ganz zu schweigen. Ein Freilerner kann eine staatliche Externen-PrÞfung ablegen, um einen Haupt- oder Realschulabschluss zu erwerben. Katharina: âFÞr eine Ausbildung bei einem privaten Unternehmer braucht man das nicht, allein der Unternehmer entscheidet Þber die Aufnahme des Auszubildendenâ. AuÃerdem stehen den jungen Leuten Privatschulen oder der zweite Bildungsweg zur VerfÞgung. Wenn man einen praktischen Beruf ergreift, ist es immer noch mÃķglich, sich bis zur Hochschulreife weiterzubilden. Nach mehrjÃĪhrigen TÃĪtigkeiten kann man bei den Kammern von Industrie, Handel und Handwerk (IHK und HWK) eine AbschlussprÞfung ablegen, mit der man zum Studium zugelassen werden kann. Oder man geht gleich den Weg in die SelbststÃĪndigkeit.
Frei lernen weitergedacht
WÃĪhrend der Coronazeit haben sich in Sachsen und speziell um Leipzig herum kleine Freilernergruppen gefunden. Die Gruppen werden aktuell zusammengefÞhrt, um zum Beispiel gemeinsam den Mathematikunterricht zu gestalten. Besonders um Dresden herum ist die Szene noch stÃĪrker ausgeprÃĪgt. AuÃerdem gibt es seit mehr als 20 Jahren den Bundesverband NatÞrlich Lernen (BVNL). Er bietet Beratung und zentrale Veranstaltungen an.
Der Wunsch nach dem freien Lernen ohne Schulzwang ist groÃ. Doch die meisten Eltern wollen ihre Kinder dafÞr irgendwo abgeben und nicht selbst unterrichten. Katharinas grÃķÃter Wunsch ist es, drei bis fÞnf Elternpaare zu finden, die sich in die Betreuung und Unterrichtung ihrer Kinder teilen. Das grÃķÃte Hindernis dafÞr sieht sie in den Eltern selbst. Durch ungelÃķste transgenerative Konflikte und unverarbeitete Familientraumata kommen sie noch nicht in ihre eigene Kraft fÞr ein selbstbestimmtes Leben. Viele wagen es noch nicht, ihre ErwerbstÃĪtigkeit zugunsten der Kinder einzuschrÃĪnken. Katharina sieht es als groÃe Aufgabe fÞr sich und ihre Familie, mit dem Freilernen das Gemeinschaftsbewusstsein und gute KonfliktlÃķsungsstrategien zu entwickeln. Sie denkt dabei bereits an ihre Enkel. Aber sie weià auch, dass die Eltern ein sehr hohes Maà an Eigeninitiative, Motivation und Selbstdisziplin aufbringen mÞssen. Sie wÞrde Eltern, die sich das noch nicht zutrauen, als Traumabegleiterin zur VerfÞgung stehen, fÞr einen angemessenen Energieausgleich. Diese gegenseitige UnterstÞtzung kÃĪme Kindern und Eltern zugute. Ebenso hÃĪlt sie die Idee der Mehrgenerationenerziehung fÞr wichtig. Dabei profitieren nicht nur die Kinder. Die Erfahrungen der ÃĪlteren Menschen gehen nicht verloren, sondern werden an die jÞngeren Generationen weitergegeben und machen sie resilienter. Das hilft den Eltern, ihrer Erwerbsarbeit nachzugehen und Familientraumata zu bewÃĪltigen.
Katharina ist eine starke Frau und sprÞht nur so vor Energie. Selbst als wir nach 21 Uhr das Therapiezentrum verlassen, sind ihr die Anstrengungen des Tages nicht anzumerken. Sie wird nicht mÞde beim Sprechen. FÞr Fragen zum Thema Freilernen kann man sich an sie wenden.

2025-05-27 16:48:45Quando adolescente eu acreditava na coerÊncia da teoria de "amor lÃquido" do polonÊs, sociÃģlogo, Zygmunt Bauman, apresentada no livro "Amor LÃquido: Sobre a Fragilidade dos Laços Humanos", qual no meu amadurecimento em estudos, sejam eles no meio acadÊmico ou fora, percebo como uma das formas mais rasas de explicar as mudanças e transformaçÃĩes dos padrÃĩes de relaçÃĩes sÃģcio-afetivas dos humanos. A seguir colocar-me-ei na minha juventude nÃĢo tanto recente, direi entÃĢo que nÃģs, se adolescentes e conservadores, ou mesmo jovens adultos mais conservadores, costumamos levar como dogma uma Ãģptica decadentista generalizada de todos os avanços de eras dos homens, universalizamos por nos ser comum a indistinçÃĢo entre humanidade e humanidades, ou mesmo "humanity" e "humankind" ("humanidade" como espÃĐcime e "humanidade" como um universal), compreendemos toda "essas" como "essa" e indistinguimos as sociedades para com os homens, ou seja, a incapacidade de definir os seres dentro de suas respectivas singularidades e especificidades nos leva ao decadentismo generalista (a crença de que de forma geral, e universal, a "civilizaçÃĢo universal" decai moralmente, ÃĐticamente, materialmente e espiritualmente), que aparente à nÃģs determinadas mudanças nas relaçÃĩes humanas quanto ao carÃĄter sÃģcio-afetivo, por falta de profundidade e critÃĐrios ainda sobre questÃĩes alinhadas aos mÃĐtodos e coerÊncias, ou incoerÊncias, lÃģgicas, nÃģs se jovens e conservadores somos levados ao engodo de concordar com a teoria do amor lÃquido de Bauman, que devo cÃĄ explicar de antemÃĢo: trata ela, a teoria, o padrÃĢo de "amor" dos tempos presentes como frÃĄgil, de prazo (curto e mÃĐdio) e diferente em grau comparativamente ao amor comum das eras passadas.
Aos jovens mais progressistas opera uma compreensÃĢo dialÃĐtica sobre as eras dos homens nos seu tempo presente, na qual ao tempo que o ser progride ele tambÃĐm regride simultaneamente, ou seja, a medida que aparecem contradiçÃĩes advindas de transformaçÃĩes materiais da realidade humana o ser supera essas contradiçÃĩes e progride em meio as transformaçÃĩes, ainda fazendo parte da lÃģgica dessa indissociavelmente, assim constantemente progredindo e regredindo, havendo para esses dois vetores de distinçÃĢo: o primeiro ÃĐ o que releva questÃĩes espirituais como ao carÃĄter do pensamento "new age", o segundo ignora essas questÃĩes por negar a existÊncia da alma, seguem ao materialismo. Cedem em crer na teoria baumaninana como dogma, pois nÃĢo encontram outros meios para explicar as transformaçÃĩes da sociedade na esfera sÃģcio-afetiva sem que haja confrontamento direto com determinadas premissas assim pertinemente presentes, ou por nÃĢo conciliarem com anÃĄlises relativamente superiores, como a de Anthony Giddens sobre a "relaçÃĢo pura" em "A TransformaçÃĢo da Intimidade" e de François de Singly apresentada em "Sociologie du Couple".

HÃĄ um problema quando uma teoria deixa de assim ser para vir a tornar-se mais um elemento desconexo da ciÊncia, agora dentro da cultura pop, se assim podemos dizer, ou da cultura de massa, ou se preferirem mesmo "anticultura", esse problema ÃĐ a sua deformizaçÃĢo teÃģrica, tornando-se essa rasa para sua palatabilidade massiva, somada a incapacidade de partes da sociedade civil em compreender as falhas daquilo que jÃĄ foi massificado. Tive surpresa ao entender que muitos outros compartilham da mesma opiniÃĢo, a exemplo, possuo um amigo na faculdade, marxista, que ao falarmos sobre nossos projetos de pesquisa, citou ele o projeto de um de nossos colegas, no qual esse referido um de nossos colegas faria seu projeto com base na teoria do amor lÃquido de Bauman, entÃĢo alà demos risada disso, ora, para nÃģs a teoria baumaniana ÃĐ furada, passamos a falar sobre Bauman e o motivo pelo qual nÃĢo gostÃĄvamos, lÃĄ fiquei atÃĐ surpreso em saber que mais gente alÃĐm de mim nÃĢo gostava da teoria de Bauman, pois ao que eu via na internet era rede de enaltecimentos à figura e à sua teoria, tal como fosse uma revelaçÃĢo partindo de alguma divindade da Idade do Bronze. Pouco tempo depois tive em aula de teoria polÃtica uma citaçÃĢo de Bauman partindo do professor que ministrava a disciplina, no entanto, ao citar o nome de Bauman o mesmo fez uma feiçÃĢo na qual aparentava segurar risada, provavelmente ele tambÃĐm nÃĢo levava Bauman à sÃĐrio. NÃĢo devo negar que todas as vezes que vejo o sociÃģlogo sendo citado em alguma nota no X, no Instagram ou qualquer outra rede social, tal como fosse um referencial teÃģrico bom, sinto uma vergonha alheia pois alà tenho uma impressÃĢo de que a pessoa nÃĢo leu Bauman e usa o referencial teÃģrico como um fato jÃĄ assim provado e comprovado.
HÃĄ pontos positivos na teoria baumaniana, como a capacidade de perceber o problema e correlacionÃĄ-lo à modernidade, assim como sucitar a influÊncia do que hÃĄ de material no fenÃīmeno, porÃĐm os erros sÃĢo pertinentes: o primeiro problema ÃĐ de categoria. NÃĢo hÃĄ, por parte de Bauman noçÃĢo alguma entre as dissociaçÃĩes dos amores, nÃĢo hÃĄ atençÃĢo sobre o amor como estrutura ou ele como um sentimento, todo ele ÃĐ compreendido uniformemente como "amor", partindo do pressuposto que todas as relaçÃĩes, todas elas, sÃĢo firmadas com base no amor. Essa crença tem uma origem: Hegel. Nos Escritos TeolÃģgicos Hegel partia da crença que o amor ligava os seres relacionalmente como uma força de superaçÃĢo e alienaçÃĢo, mas hÃĄ de compreendermos que esse Friedrich Hegel ÃĐ o jovem ainda pouco maduro em suas ideias e seu sistema de pensamento, mais a frente, em "Fenomenologia do EspÃrito e na Filosofia do Direito", Hegel compreende a institucionalidade do direito no amor e a institucionalizaçÃĢo dessa força, assim aproxima-se da realidade a respeito da inserçÃĢo do amor nas esferas prÃĄticas do humano, porÃĐm essa ideia, apesar de imperfeita, pois ao que sabemos nÃĢo ÃĐ o amor que consolida a relaçÃĢo, mas sim a Verdade (AlÃĐtheia), conforme apontado por Heidegger em "Ser e Tempo", essa ideia do amor como a fundamento das relaçÃĩes humanas influenciou, e atÃĐ hoje influencia, qualquer anÃĄlise sobre as relaçÃĩes humanas fora da esfera materialista, fora dessa pois, melhormente explicado em exemplo, os marxistas (em exemplo), assim como Marx, consideram como base primordial das relaçÃĩes as condiçÃĩes materiais.
Por certo, nÃĢo ÃĐ de todo amor a base para a solidificaçÃĢo, ora, erram aqueles que creem que somente essa força, assim apontada por Hegel, constituiam todos os relacionamentos formais como pilares fundamentais, pois em prÃĄtica as famÃlias eram atÃĐ a fiduciarizaçÃĢo dessas, por mais paradoxal que seja, compreendidas melhor como instituiçÃĩes orgÃĒnicas de carÃĄter legal do que conluios de afetividades. A famÃlia outrora tinha consigo aparelhos de hierarquia bem estabelicidos, quais prezavam pela ordem interna e externa, que acima dessa instituiçÃĢo estava somente a Igreja (outra instituiçÃĢo), com sua fiduciarizaçÃĢo [da famÃlia] apÃģs o movimento tomado pelos Estados nacionais em aplicaçÃĢo do casamento civil mudou-se a lÃģgica das partes que a compÃĩe, findou-se o princÃpio da subsidiariedade (nÃĢo intervençÃĢo de determinadas instituiçÃĩes nas decisÃĩes quais podem ser exercidas em resuluçÃĩes de problemas nas competÊncias de quaisquer instituiçÃĩes), foi-se entÃĢo, contudo, tambÃĐm a autoridade, e nisso revela-se um outro problema nÃĢo apontado na teoria de Bauman: qual o padrÃĢo do amor "sÃģlido"? Pois, ora, sociedades tradicionais nÃĢo abdicavam do relevar dos amores para tornar seus filhos em ativos nas prÃĄticas de trocas (dÃĄdivas)? à notÃģrio que esse padrÃĢo se dissocia do padrÃĢo de sentimento apontado por Bauman, encontramos esse fato em estudo nos trabalhos "Ensaio Sobre a DÃĄdiva", do Marcel Mauss, e "As Estruturas Elementares do Parentesco", do Claude Levi-Strauss, quais expÃĩem que nas sociedades "sÃģlidas", tradicionais, relevava-se mais questÃĩes institucionais que as sentimentais para a formaçÃĢo de laços (teoria da aliança). Muitas das relaçÃĩes passadas nÃĢo eram baseadas no amor, nÃĢo significando assim que as de hoje, em oposiçÃĢo, sejam, mas que permanecem-se semelhantes em base, diferentemente em grau e forma.

Ora, ainda existem casamentos motivados pela polÃtica, pelo status, pelo prestÃgio, pelos bens, pelo poder, pela influÊncia familiar e assim sucetivamente, tal como no passado, ocorre que essa prÃĄtica tornou-se oculta, nÃĢo mais explÃcita e aparente, devo dizer ainda que em partes, pois prepondera em nosso tempo uma epidemia de adultÃĐrios, fornicaçÃĩes, prÃĄticas lascivas e demais prÃĄticas libertinosas explicitamente, em contraposiçÃĢo à s prÃĄticas ocultas em vergonhas de sociedades sem declÃnio moral e espiritual, o que nos leva a questionar o mÃĐtodo comparativo em dicotomia temporal "presente x passado" aplicado por Bauman, no qual segue-se da seguinte forma:
TransformaçÃĢo Passado = *sÃģlido* | Presente = *lÃquido* Categorias PadrÃĢo de amor: tradicional (*sÃģlido*) moderno (*lÃquido*) *SÃģlido* = estÃĄvel, prazo (mÃĐdio-grande), profundo, determinado. *LÃquido* = instÃĄvel, prazo (curto-mÃĐdio), raso, indeterminado.
O que penso ÃĐ: Zygmunt Bauman buscou uma explicaçÃĢo material e laical para desviar ao fato de que hÃĄ uma notÃģria correlaçÃĢo entre espiritualizaçÃĢo da sociedade, se voltada à Verdade, com a estabilidade das instituiçÃĩes, o que ÃĐ jÃĄ reduzido à moral religiosa, somente, nÃĢo à mÃstica, como por pensadores da linha de Tocqueville, ou em abordagens tambÃĐm mais laical (positivista) porÃĐm ainda relevantes, como Ãmile Durkheim em "As Formas Elementares da Vida Religiosa" e Max Weber em "A Ãtica Protestante e o EspÃrito do Capitalismo", contrapondo uma abordage mais voltada, de fato, a espiritualidade, como Christopher Dawnson, que defende essa teoria em "ReligiÃĢo e o Surgimento da Cultura Ocidental", e Eric Voegelin, principalmente nas obras "A Nova CiÊncia da PolÃtica" e "Ordem e HistÃģria".
Encerrrando, minha cosmovisÃĢo ÃĐ a catÃģlica, o sistema de crença e religiÃĢo qual sigo ÃĐ do Deus que se fez homem por amor aos seus filhos, nÃĢo posso negar ou mesmo omitir o fato de que, por trÃĄs de toda a minha crÃtica estÃĢo meus pensamentos e minhas convicçÃĩes alinhadas à quilo que mais tenho amor em toda minha vida: a Verdade, e a Verdade ÃĐ Deus, pois Cristo ÃĐ a Verdade, o Caminho e a Vida, ninguÃĐm vai ao Pai se nÃĢo por Ele, e pois bem, seria incoerÊncia de minha parte nÃĢo relevar o fato de crença como um dos motivos pelos quais eu rejeito a teoria do amor lÃquido de Zygmunt Bauman, pois os amores sÃĢo todos eles praticados por formas, existem por diferentes formas e assim sÃĢo desde sua tradicionalidade atÃĐ o predomÃnio das distorçÃĩes de declÃnio espiritual das eras presentes (e tambÃĐm antigas prÃĐ-Era Axial), estÃĢo esses preservados pelo alinhamento à verdade, assim sÃĢo indistorcÃveis, imutÃĄveis, ou seja, amor ÃĐ amor, nÃĢo releva-se o falso amor como um, simplesmente nÃĢo o ÃĐ, assim o interesse, a sanha por bens, o egoÃsmo e a egolatria ("cupiditas", para Santo Agostinho de Hipona, em oposiçÃĢo ao que o santo e filÃģsofo trata por "caritas") nÃĢo sÃĢo formas do amor, sÃĢo autoenganos, nÃĢo bons, se nÃĢo sÃĢo bons logo nÃĢo sÃĢo de Deus, ora, se Deus ÃĐ amor, se ele nos ama, determino como amor (e suas formas) o que estÃĄ de acordo com a Verdade. Aprofundando, a Teologia do Corpo, do Papa SÃĢo JoÃĢo Paulo II, rejeita a "liquidez" apresentada por Bauman, pois o amor ÃĐ, em suma, sacrÃficio, parte da entrega total de si ao prÃģximo, e se nÃĢo hÃĄ logo nÃĢo ÃĐ amor. A Teologia do Corpo rejeita nÃĢo os fundamentos de mentira no "lÃquido", mas tambÃĐm no "sÃģlido", pois a tradicionalidade nÃĢo ÃĐ sinÃīnimo de bom e pleno acordo com o amor que Deus pede de nÃģs, nÃĢo sÃĢo as coerçÃĩes, as violÊncias, as imposiçÃĩes e demais vontades em oposiçÃĢo à s de Deus que determinam os amores -- fatos em oposiçÃĢo ao ideÃĄrio romanticizado. Claro, nem todas as coerçÃĩes sÃĢo por si invÃĄlidas do amor, ou mesmo as escolhas em trocas racionalizadas, a exemplo do autruÃsmo em vista da chance da famÃlia ter Êxito e sucesso, ou seja, pelo bem dos prÃģximos haver a necessidade de submissÃĢo a, em exemplo, um casamento forjado, ou algo do gÊnero, reconhece-se o amor no ato se feito por bem da famÃlia, porÃĐm o amor incutido, nesse caso, explicita o carÃĄter sacrificial, no qual uma vontade e um amor genuinamente potencial em prazeres e alegrias sÃĢo anulados, ou seja, mesmo nesse modelo tradicional na "solidez" hÃĄ possibilidade do amor, nÃĢo nas formas romanticizadas em critÃĐrios, como "estabilidade" e "durabilidade", mas no carÃĄter do sacrÃficio exercido. Conforme nos ensina SÃĢo TomÃĄs de Aquino, o amor nÃĢo ÃĐ uma "força", tal como ensina Hegel, mas sim uma virtude teologal conforme postas na "Suma TeolÃģgica" (II-II Q. 26-28), nÃĢo devemos reduzir o amor e os amores em anÃĄlises simplÃģrias (nÃĢo simples) de falsa complexidade extraÃdas em mÃĐtodos questionÃĄveis e pouco competentes à real diensÃĢo de crise espiritual das eras, por esse motivo nÃĢo concordo com a teoria do amor lÃquido de Zygmunt Bauman.

2025-05-27 16:19:06Star Wars is often viewed as a myth of rebellion, freedom, and resistance to tyranny. The iconographyâscrappy rebels, totalitarian stormtroopers, lone smugglersâsuggests a deep anti-authoritarian ethos. Yet, beneath the surface, the narrative arc of Star Wars consistently affirms the necessity, even sanctity, of central authority. This blog entry introduces the question: Is Star Wars fundamentally a celebration of statism?
Rebellion as Restoration, Not Revolution
The Rebel Allianceâs mission is not to dismantle centralized power, but to restore the Galactic Republicâa bureaucratic, centrally governed institution. Characters like Mon Mothma and Bail Organa are high-ranking senators, not populist revolutionaries. The goal is to remove the corrupt Empire and reinstall a previous central authority, presumed to be just.
- Rebels are loyalists to a prior state structure.
- Power is not questioned, only who wields it.
Jedi as Centralized Moral Elites
The Jedi, often idealized as protectors of peace, are unelected, extra-legal enforcers of moral and military order. Their authority stems from esoteric metaphysical abilities rather than democratic legitimacy.
- They answer only to their internal Council.
- They are deployed by the Senate, but act independently of civil law.
- Their collapse is depicted as tragic not because they were unaccountable, but because they were betrayed.
This positions them as a theocratic elite, not spiritual anarchists.
Chaos and the Frontier: The Case of the Cantina
The Mos Eisley cantina, often viewed as a symbol of frontier freedom, reveals something darker. It is: - Lawless - Violent - Culturally fragmented
Conflict resolution occurs through murder, not mediation. Obi-Wan slices off a limb; Han shoots firstâboth without legal consequence. There is no evidence of property rights, dispute resolution, or voluntary order.
This is not libertarian pluralismâitâs moral entropy. The message: without centralized governance, barbarism reigns.
The Mythic Arc: Restoration of the Just State
Every trilogy in the saga returns to a single theme: the fall and redemption of legitimate authority.
- Prequels: Republic collapses into tyranny.
- Originals: Rebels fight to restore legitimate order.
- Sequels: Weak governance leads to resurgence of authoritarianism; heroes must reestablish moral centralism.
The story is not anti-stateâitâs anti-bad state. The solution is never decentralization; itâs the return of the right ruler or order.
Conclusion: The Hidden Statism of a Rebel Myth
Star Wars wears the costume of rebellion, but tells the story of centralized salvation. It: - Validates elite moral authority (Jedi) - Romanticizes restoration of fallen governments (Republic) - Portrays decentralized zones as corrupt and savage (outer rim worlds)
It is not an anarchist parable, nor a libertarian fable. It is a statist mythology, clothed in the spectacle of rebellion. Its core message is not that power should be abolished, but that power belongs to the virtuous few.
Question to Consider:
If the Star Wars universe consistently affirms the need for centralized moral and political authority, should we continue to see it as a myth of freedom? Or is it time to recognize it as a narrative of benevolent empire? -

2025-05-28 05:54:01** Introduction: The Neon Pulse of Las Vegas
**Itâs 2:30 AM on a Tuesday. The Strip hums with laughter, clinking glasses, and the occasional Elvis impersonator. A group of friends stumbles out of a nightclub, squinting under the glow of a Las Vegas billboard that screams, âHungry? $5 Pancakes â 1 Block Right!â Ten minutes later, theyâre drowning their late-night cravings in syrup.This isnât luckâitâs Las Vegas billboards doing what they do best: working while the rest of the world sleeps.

- Text Overload: âGrand Opening! 50% Off! Open 24/7! Call Now!â â Too much!
- Bland Designs: Gray text on a gray background? Yawn.
- Ignoring Locals: Tourists are 70% of viewers, but locals matter too. A gymâs billboard said, âTired of Tourists? Work Out in Peace.â Memberships spiked.Fix It:
- Use 7 words max.
- Bold colors (red, yellow, neon pink).
- Add a clear call to action: âTurn Right Now!â or âScan for Free Parking.â- âDo I need a permit? What if my ad gets rejected?â
Answer:
Yep, permits are a thing. The city bans: - Flashing Lights Near Residences: No strobes in suburban areas.
- Certain Content: No swear words, adult themes, or political fights.
How to Avoid Rejection:
- Work with local Outdoor Advertising companiesâthey know the rules.
- Submit designs early. One pizza jointâs ad was flagged for a pepperoni slice deemed âtoo suggestive.â They swapped it to a cheese pullâĶ and it got approved.Conclusion: Let Your Business Shine All Night Long
At 5 AM, as the sun peeks over the desert, the Las Vegas billboards keep glowing. Theyâve sold midnight pancakes, inspired shotgun weddings, and even talked someone out of a questionable tattoo (âWait! Our Parlorâs Better â Next Exitâ).These arenât just adsâtheyâre part of Vegasâ heartbeat. So whether youâre slinging sushi, massages, or monster truck rides, remember: In a city that never sleeps, your billboard shouldnât either.
Ready to Light Up the Night?
Find Las Vegas billboards near you today. And if you spot one that says, âFree High-Fives for Readers of This Article,â honk twice. Itâs probably yours. -

2025-05-27 13:19:53I. Introduction: Money as a Function of Efficiency and Preference
Money is not defined by law, but by power over productivity. In any open economy, the most economically efficient actorsâthose who control the most valuable goods, services, and knowledgeâultimately dictate the medium of exchange. Their preferences signal to the broader market what form of money is required to access the highest-value goods, from durable commodities to intangibles like intellectual property and skilled labor.
Whatever money these actors prefer becomes the de facto unit of account and store of value, regardless of its legal status. This emergent behavior is natural and reflects a hierarchy of monetary utility.
II. Classical Greshamâs Law: A Product of Market Distortion
Greshamâs Law, famously stated as:
"Bad money drives out good"
is only valid under coercive monetary conditions, specifically: - Legal tender laws that force the acceptance of inferior money at par with superior money. - Fixed exchange rates imposed by decree, not market valuation. - Governments or central banks backing elastic fiduciary media with promises of redemption. - Institutional structures that mandate debt and tax payments in the favored currency.
Under these conditions, superior money (hard money) is hoarded, while inferior money (soft, elastic, inflationary) circulates. This is not an expression of free market behaviorâit is the result of suppressed price discovery and legal coercion.
Greshamâs Law, therefore, is not a natural law of money, but a law of distortion under forced parity and artificial elasticity.
III. The Collapse of Coercion: Inversion of Greshamâs Law
When coercive structures weaken or are bypassedâthrough technological exit, jurisdictional arbitrage, monetary breakdown, or political disintegrationâGreshamâs Law inverts:
Good money drives out bad.
This occurs because: - Market actors regain the freedom to select money based on utility, scarcity, and credibility. - Legal parity collapses, exposing the true economic hierarchy of monetary forms. - Trustless systems (e.g., Bitcoin) or superior digital instruments (e.g., stablecoins) offer better settlement, security, and durability. - Elastic fiduciary media become undesirable as counterparty risk and inflation rise.
The inversion marks a return to monetary natural selectionânot a breakdown of Greshamâs Law, but the collapse of its preconditions.
IV. Elasticity and Control
Elastic fiduciary media (like fiat currency) are not intrinsically evil. They are tools of state finance and debt management, enabling rapid expansion of credit and liquidity. However, when their issuance is unconstrained, and legal tender laws force their use, they become weapons of economic coercion.
Banks issue credit unconstrained by real savings, and governments enforce the use of inflated media through taxation and courts. This distorts capital allocation, devalues productive labor, and ultimately hollows out monetary confidence.
V. Monetary Reversion: The Return of Hard Money
When the coercion endsâwhether gradually or suddenlyâthe monetary system reverts. The preferences of the productive and wealthy reassert themselves:
- Superior money is not just savedâit begins to circulate.
- Weaker currencies are rejected not just for savings, but for daily exchange.
- The hoarded form becomes the traded form, and Greshamâs Law inverts completely.
Bitcoin, gold, and even highly credible stable instruments begin to function as true money, not just stores of value. The natural monetary order returns, and the State becomes a late participant, not the originator of monetary reality.
VI. Conclusion
Greshamâs Law operates only under distortion. Its inversion is not an anomalyâit is a signal of the collapse of coercion. The monetary system then reorganizes around productive preference, technological efficiency, and economic sovereignty.
The most efficient market will always dictate the form of hard money. The State can delay this reckoning through legal force, but it cannot prevent it indefinitely. Once free choice returns, bad money dies, and good money lives again.

2025-05-28 04:02:47For those who still don't truly understand Bitcoin, it means you still don't understand what money is, who creates it, and why humans need money.
It's a scam that the education system doesn't teach this important subject, while we spend almost our entire lives trying to earn money. Therefore, I recommend following the money and studying Bitcoin seriously.
Why Bitcoin Matters
Saving is the greatest discovery in human history
Before humans learned to save, we were just animals living day to day. Saving is what makes humans different from other animals â the ability to think about the future and store for later.
Saving created civilization itself
Without saving, there would be no cities, no science, no art. Everything we call "progress" comes from the ability to save.
Money is the greatest creation in human history
It is the tool that has allowed human civilization to advance to this day. Money is the best tool humans use for saving.
Bitcoin is the best money ever created
It is the most perfect money humans have ever created. No one can control, manipulate, destroy it, and it is truly limited like time in life.
Bitcoin is like a black hole
That will absorb all value from the damaged financial system. It will draw stability and value to itself. Everything of value will flow into Bitcoin eventually.
Bitcoin is like Buddhism discovering truth
It helps understand the root problems of the current financial system and the emergence of many problems in society, just like Buddha who understood all suffering and the causes of suffering.
Bitcoin is freedom
Money is power, money controls human behavior. When we have money that preserves value and cannot be controlled, we will have intellectual freedom, freedom of expression, and the power to choose.
The debt that humanity has created today would take another thousand years to pay off completely
There is no way out and it's heading toward serious collapse. Bitcoin is the light that will help prevent humanity from entering another dark age.
Bitcoin cannot steal your time
It cannot be created from nothing. Every Bitcoin requires real energy and time to create.
Bitcoin is insurance that protects against mismanagement
It helps protect against currency debasement, economic depression, and failed policies. Bitcoin will protect your value.
Bitcoin is going to absorb the world's value
Eventually, Bitcoin will become the store of value for the entire world. It will absorb wealth from all assets, all prices, and all investments.
Exit The Matrix
We live in a financial Matrix. Every day we wake up and go to work, thinking we're building a future for ourselves. But in reality, we're just giving energy to a system that extracts value from us every second. Bitcoin is the red pill â it will open your eyes to see the truth of the financial world. Central banks are the architects of this Matrix â they create money from nothing, and we have to work hard to get it.
The education system has deceived us greatly. They teach us to work for money, but never teach us what money is. We spend 12-16 years in school, then spend our entire lives earning money, but never know what it is, who creates it, and why it has value. This is the biggest scam in human history.
We are taught to be slaves of the system, but not taught to understand the system.
The Bitcoin standard will end war
When you can't print money for war anymore, war becomes too expensive.
We are entering the Bitcoin Renaissance era
An era of financial and intellectual revival. Bitcoin is creating a new class of humans. People who understand and hold Bitcoin will become a new class with true freedom.
The Path to Financial Truth
Follow the money trail and you will see the truth: - Who controls money printing? - Why do prices keep getting higher? - Why are the poor getting poorer and the rich getting richer?
All the answers lie in understanding money and Bitcoin.
Studying Bitcoin is not just about investment â it's about understanding the future of currency and human society.
Don't just work for money. Understand money. Study Bitcoin.
If you don't understand money, you will be a slave to the system forever. If you understand Bitcoin, you will gain freedom.

2025-05-27 14:31:02This was not planned, but last evening I realized that I should at least test the Sony A900 and Minolta gear that I had, which was bought for real estate photography around a decade ago.
Look at everything out here!
Our two white kittens are almost identical, but they come from two different mothers, Charcoal and Tiger!
I sometimes wonder if they have realized that they look the same, they tend to stick together most of the day.
I know you're there!
This ended up being perfect scenes for the 20/2.8 wide open!
Outside the gate
Several of our cats have been digging a hole outside, sniffing for something, we have no idea what that is all about...
Playing around
They often stay in the slot for the gate, I guess its a little less hot there.
Happy cat?
This sort of scene is perfect for the Beercan, Minolta 70-210/4, its a legendary piece of optics for sure. One of the reasons I got into the system back then.
Scouting
They spent some time hunting each others in the "jungle" of course!
Hunting mode!
They were moving too rapidly for any gear really, so the slow AF was not a real hindrance.
I look good, yes?
Sometimes when I process images of them the fur gets messy and kinda dirty looking, but this went the opposite way!
It was a good day in the garden, and a very useful test.
That's it for today!

@ 43baaf0c:d193e34c
2025-05-27 14:08:02During the incredible Bitcoin Filmfest, I attended a community session where a discussion emerged about zapping and why I believe zaps are important. The person leading the Nostr session who is also developing an app thatâs partially connected to Nostr mentioned they wouldnât be implementing the zap mechanism directly. This sparked a brief but meaningful debate, which is why Iâd like to share my perspective as an artist and content creator on why zaps truly matter.
Let me start by saying that I see everything from the perspective of an artist and creator, not so much from a developerâs point of view. In 2023, I started using Nostr after spending a few years exploring the world of âshitcoinsâ and NFTs, beginning in 2018. Even though I became a Bitcoin maximalist around 2023, those earlier years taught me an important lesson: it is possible to earn money with my art.
Whether you love or hate them, NFTs opened my eyes to the idea that I could finally take my art to the next level. Before that, for over 15 years, I ran a travel stock video content company called @traveltelly. You can read the full story about my journey in travel and content here: https://yakihonne.com/article/traveltelly@primal.net/vZc1c8aXrc-3hniN6IMdK
When I truly understood what Bitcoin meant to me, I left all other coins behind. Some would call that becoming a Bitcoin maximalist.
The first time I used Nostr, I discovered the magic of zapping. It amazed me that someone who appreciates your art or content could reward youânot just with a like, but with real value: Bitcoin, the hardest money on earth. Zaps are small amounts of Bitcoin sent as a sign of support or appreciation. (Each Bitcoin is divisible into 100 million units called Satoshis, or Sats for shortâmaking a Satoshi the smallest unit of Bitcoin recorded on the blockchain.)
The Energy of Zaps
If youâre building an app on Nostrâor even just connecting to itâbut choose not to include zaps, why should artists and content creators share their work there? Why would they leave platforms like Instagram or Facebook, which already benefit from massive network effects?
Yes, the ability to own your own data is one of Nostrâs greatest strengths. That alone is a powerful reason to embrace the protocol. No one can ban you. You control your content. And the ability to post once and have it appear across multiple Nostr clients is an amazing feature.
But for creators, energy matters. Engagement isnât just about numbersâitâs about value. Zaps create a feedback loop powered by real appreciation and real value, in the form of Bitcoin. Theyâre a signal that your content matters. And that energy is what makes creating on Nostr so special.
But beyond those key elements, I also look at this from a commercial perspective. The truth is, we still canât pay for groceries with kisses :)âwe still need money as a medium of exchange. Being financially rewarded for sharing your content gives creators a real incentive to keep creating and sharing. Thatâs where zaps come inâthey add economic value to engagement.
A Protocol for Emerging Artists and Creators
I believe Nostr offers a great starting point for emerging artists and content creators. If youâre just beginning and donât already have a large following on traditional social media platforms, Nostr provides a space where your work can be appreciated and directly supported with Bitcoin, even by a small but engaged community.
On the other hand, creators who already have a big audience and steady income on platforms like Instagram or YouTube may not feel the urgency to switch. This is similar to how wealthier countries are often slower to understand or adopt Bitcoinâbecause they donât need it yet. In contrast, people in unbanked regions or countries facing high inflation are more motivated to learn how money really works.
In the same way, emerging creatorsâthose still finding their audience and looking for sustainable ways to growâare often more open to exploring new ecosystems like Nostr, where innovation and financial empowerment go hand in hand.
The same goes for Nostr. After using it for the past two years, I can honestly say: without Nostr, I wouldnât be the artist I am today.
Nostr motivates me to create and share every single day. A like is nice but receiving a zap, even just 21 sats, is something entirely different. Once you truly understand that someone is willing to pay you for what you share, itâs no longer about the amount. Itâs about the magic behind it. That simple gesture creates a powerful, positive energy that keeps you going.
Even with Nostrâs still relatively small user base, Iâve already been able to create projects that simply wouldnât have been possible elsewhere.
Zaps do more than just rewardâthey inspire. They encourage you to keep building your community. That inspiration often leads to new projects. Sometimes, the people who zap you become directly involved in your work, or even ask you to create something specifically for them.
Thatâs the real value of zaps: not just micro-payments, but micro-connections sparks that lead to creativity, collaboration, and growth.
Proof of Work (PoW)
Over the past two years, Iâve experienced firsthand how small zaps can evolve into full art projects and even lead to real sales. Here are two examples that started with zaps and turned into something much bigger:
Halving 2024 Artwork
When I started the Halving 2024 project, I invited people on Nostr to be part of it. 70 people zapped me 2,100 sats each, and in return, I included their Npubs in the final artwork. That piece was later auctioned and sold to Jurjen de Vries for 225,128 Sats.
Magic Internet Money
For the Magic Internet Money artwork, I again invited people to zap 2,100 sats to be included. Fifty people participated, and their contributions became part of the final art frame. The completed piece was eventually sold to Filip for 480,000 sats.
These examples show the power of zaps: a simple, small act of appreciation can turn into larger engagement, deeper connection, and even the sale of original art. Zaps arenât just tipsâtheyâre a form of collaboration and support that fuel creative energy.
I hope this article gives developers a glimpse into the perspective of an artist using Nostr. Of course, this is just one artistâs view, and it doesnât claim to speak for everyone. But I felt it was important to share my Proof of Work and perspective.
For me, Zaps matter.
Thank you to all the developers who are building these amazing apps on Nostr. Your work empowers artists like me to share, grow, and be supported through the value-for-value model.

2025-05-27 11:27:26Since its creation, Bitcoin has been a revolutionary asset, challenging the traditional financial system and proposing a new form of decentralized money. However, its future remains uncertain and the subject of intense debate. Among the possible outcomes, two extreme scenarios stand out: hyperbitcoinization-where Bitcoin becomes the dominant currency in the global economyâand obsolescence, where the network loses relevance and is replaced by other solutions.
- Hyperbitcoinization: The World Adopts Bitcoin as a Monetary Standard
01 - Loss of trust in fiat currencies: Due to excessive money printing by central banks, many economies face rampant inflation. Bitcoin, with its fixed supply of 21 million units, emerges as a more trustworthy alternative.
02 - Growing adoption by companies and governments: Some countries have already begun integrating Bitcoin into their economies, accepting it for payments and as a store of value. If this trend continues, Bitcoinâs legitimacy as a global currency will grow.
03 - Ease of global transactions: Bitcoin enables fast and low-cost international transfers, removing the need for financial intermediaries and reducing operational costs.
04 - Technological advancements: Scalability improvements, such as the Lightning Network, can make Bitcoin more efficient for daily use, encouraging mass adoption.
If hyperbitcoinization becomes reality, the world may witness a radical shift in the financial systemâwith greater decentralization, censorship resistance, and an economy based on sound, predictable money.
- Obsolescence: Bitcoin Loses Relevance and Is Replaced
01 - Restrictive government regulations: If major economic powers enforce strict regulations on Bitcoin, adoption could slow, reducing its utility.
02 - Technological shortcomings or lack of innovation: Despite its security and decentralization, Bitcoin may struggle to scale effectively. If superior solutions emerge and gain acceptance, Bitcoin could lose its leading position.
03 - Competition from faster, more user-friendly alternatives: Other forms of digital money may surpass Bitcoin in scalability and usability, potentially leading to a decline in Bitcoin adoption.
04 - Decreasing miner incentives: As new Bitcoin issuance halves every four years, miners will rely increasingly on transaction fees. If those fees are insufficient to sustain network security, long-term viability could be at risk.
In summary, Bitcoinâs future could unfold along multiple paths, depending on factors like innovation, global adoption, and resilience to external challenges. Hyperbitcoinization would represent an economic revolutionâushering in a decentralized, inflation-resistant monetary system. Yet, obsolescence remains a risk if the network fails to adapt to future demands. Regardless of the outcome, Bitcoin has already made its mark on financial history, paving the way for a new era of digital money and economic freedom.
Thank you very much for reading this far. I hope everything is well with you, and sending a big hug from your favorite Bitcoiner maximalist from Madeira. Long live freedom!

2025-05-27 12:58:56Introduction
Public companies that hold Bitcoin on behalf of investors (often issuing securities backed by those Bitcoin holdings) have faced growing pressure to demonstrate proof of reserves â evidence that they genuinely hold the cryptocurrency they claim. One approach is to publish the companyâs Bitcoin wallet addresses so that anyone can verify the balances on the blockchain. This practice gained momentum after high-profile crypto collapses (e.g. FTX in 2022) eroded trust, leading major exchanges and fund issuers like Binance, Kraken, OKX, and Bitwise to publicize wallet addresses as proof of assets ïŋž. The goal is transparency and reassurance for investors. However, making wallet addresses public comes with significant security and privacy risks. This report examines those risks â from cybersecurity threats and blockchain tracing to regulatory and reputational implications â and weighs them against the transparency benefits of on-chain proof of reserves.
Proof of Reserves via Public Wallet Addresses
In the cryptocurrency ethos of âdonât trust â verify,â on-chain proof of reserves is seen as a powerful tool. By disclosing wallet addresses (or cryptographic attestations of balances), a company lets investors and analysts independently verify that the Bitcoin reserves exist on-chain. For example, some firms have dashboards showing their addresses and balances in real time ïŋž. In theory, this transparency builds trust by proving assets are not being misreported or misused. Shareholders gain confidence that the companyâs Bitcoin holdings are intact, potentially preventing fraud or mismanagement.
Yet this approach essentially sacrifices the pseudonymity of blockchain transactions. Publishing a wallet address ties a large, known institution to specific on-chain funds. While Bitcoin addresses are public by design, most companies treat their specific addresses as sensitive information. Public proof-of-reserve disclosures break that anonymity, raising several concerns as detailed below.
Cybersecurity Threats from Visible Wallet Balances
Revealing a wallet address with a large balance can make a company a prime target for hackers and cybercriminals. Knowing exactly where significant reserves are held gives attackers a clear blueprint. As Bitcoin advocate (and MicroStrategy Executive Chairman) Michael Saylor warned in 2025, âpublicly known wallet addresses become prime targets for malicious actors. Knowing where significant reserves are held provides hackers with a clear target, potentially increasing the risk of sophisticated attacksâ ïŋž. In other words, publishing the address increases the attack surface â attackers might intensify phishing campaigns, malware deployment, or insider bribery aimed at obtaining the keys or access to those wallets.
Even if the wallets are secured in cold storage, a public address advertisement may encourage attempts to penetrate the organizationâs security. Custodians and partners could also be targeted. Saylor noted that this exposure isnât just risky for the company holding the Bitcoin; it can indirectly put their custodial providers and related exchanges at risk as well ïŋž. For instance, if a third-party custodian manages the wallets, hackers might attempt to breach that custodian knowing the reward (the companyâs Bitcoin) is great.
Companies themselves have acknowledged these dangers. Grayscale Investments, which runs the large Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), pointedly refused to publish its wallet addresses in late 2022, citing âsecurity concernsâ and complex custody arrangements that have âkept our investorsâ assets safe for yearsâ ïŋž. Grayscale implied that revealing on-chain addresses could undermine those security measures, and it chose not to âcircumvent complex security arrangementsâ just to appease public demand ïŋž. This highlights a key point: corporate treasury security protocols often assume wallet details remain confidential. Publicizing them could invalidate certain assumptions (for example, if an address was meant to be operationally secret, it can no longer serve that role once exposed).
Additionally, a publicly known trove of cryptocurrency might invite physical security threats. While not a purely âcyberâ issue, if criminals know a particular company or facility controls a wallet with, say, thousands of Bitcoin, it could lead to threats against personnel (extortion or coercion to obtain keys). This is a less common scenario for large institutions (which typically have robust physical security), but smaller companies or key individuals could face elevated personal risk by being associated with huge visible crypto reserves.
In summary, cybersecurity experts consider public proof-of-reserve addresses a double-edged sword: transparency comes at the cost of advertising exactly where a fortune is held. As Saylor bluntly put it, âthe conventional way of issuing proof of reserves today is actually insecureâĶ This method undermines the security of the issuer, the custodian, the exchanges and the investors. This is not a good ideaâ ïŋž ïŋž. From a pure security standpoint, broadcasting your wallets is akin to drawing a bullseye on them.
Privacy Risks: Address Clustering and Blockchain Tracing
Blockchain data is public, so publishing addresses opens the door to unwanted analytics and loss of privacy for the business. Even without knowing the private keys, analysts can scrutinize every transaction in and out of those addresses. This enables address clustering â linking together addresses that interact â and other forms of blockchain forensics that can reveal sensitive information about the companyâs activities.
One immediate risk is that observers can track the companyâs transaction patterns. For example, if the company moves Bitcoin from its reserve address to an exchange or to another address, that move is visible in real time. Competitors, investors, or even attackers could deduce strategic information: perhaps the company is planning to sell (if coins go to an exchange wallet) or is reallocating funds. A known institutionâs on-chain movements can thus âreveal strategic movements or holdingsâ, eroding the companyâs operational privacy ïŋž. In a volatile market, advance knowledge of a large buy or sell by a major player could even be exploited by others (front-running the market, etc.).
Publishing one or a few static addresses also violates a basic privacy principle of Bitcoin: address reuse. Best practice in Bitcoin is to use a fresh address for each transaction to avoid linking them ïŋž ïŋž. If a company continuously uses the same âproof of reserveâ address, all counterparties sending funds to or receiving funds from that address become visible. Observers could map out the companyâs business relationships or vendors by analyzing counterparties. A Reddit user commenting on an ETF that published a single address noted that âreusing a single address for this makes me question their risk managementâĶ There are much better and more privacy-preserving ways to prove reservesâĶ without throwing everything in a single public addressâ ïŋž. In other words, a naive implementation of proof-of-reserve (one big address) maximizes privacy leakage.
Even if multiple addresses are used, if they are all disclosed, one can perform clustering analysis to find connections. This happened in the Grayscale case: although Grayscale would not confirm any addresses, community analysts traced and identified 432 addresses likely belonging to GBTCâs custodial holdings by following on-chain traces from known intermediary accounts ïŋž. They managed to attribute roughly 317,705 BTC (about half of GBTCâs holdings) to those addresses ïŋž. This demonstrates that even partial information can enable clustering â and if the company directly published addresses, the task becomes even easier to map the entirety of its on-chain asset base.
Another threat vector is âdustingâ attacks, which become more feasible when an address is publicly known. In a dusting attack, an adversary sends a tiny amount of cryptocurrency (dust) to a target address. The dust itself is harmless, but if the target address ever spends that dust together with other funds, it can cryptographically link the target address to other addresses in the same wallet. Blockchain security researchers note that âwith UTXO-based assets, an attacker could distribute dust to an address to reveal the ownerâs other addresses by tracking the dustâs movementâĶ If the owner unknowingly combines this dust with their funds in a transaction, the attacker canâĶ link multiple addresses to a single ownerâ, compromising privacy ïŋž. A company that publishes a list of reserve addresses could be systematically dusted by malicious actors attempting to map out all addresses under the companyâs control. This could unmask cold wallet addresses that the company never intended to publicize, further eroding its privacy and security.
Investor confidentiality is another subtle concern. If the business model involves individual investor accounts or contributions (for instance, a trust where investors can deposit or withdraw Bitcoin), public addresses might expose those movements. An outside observer might not know which investor corresponds to a transaction, but unusual inflows/outflows could signal actions by big clients. In extreme cases, if an investorâs own wallet is known (say a large investor announces their involvement), one might link that to transactions in the companyâs reserve addresses. This could inadvertently reveal an investorâs activities or holdings, breaching expectations of confidentiality. Even absent direct identification, some investors might simply be uncomfortable with their transactions being part of a publicly traceable ledger tied to the company.
In summary, publishing reserve addresses facilitates blockchain tracing that can pierce the veil of business privacy. It hands analysts the keys to observe how funds move, potentially exposing operational strategies, counterparties, and internal processes. As one industry publication noted, linking a large known institution to specific addresses can compromise privacy and reveal more than intended ïŋž. Companies must consider whether they are ready for that level of transparency into their every on-chain move.
Regulatory and Compliance Implications
From a regulatory perspective, wallet address disclosure lies in uncharted territory, but it raises several flags. First and foremost is the issue of incomplete information: A wallet address only shows assets, not the companyâs liabilities or other obligations. Regulators worry that touting on-chain holdings could give a false sense of security. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has cautioned investors to ânot place too much confidence in the mere fact a company says itâs got a proof-of-reservesâ, noting that such reports âlack sufficient informationâ for stakeholders to ascertain if liabilities can be met ïŋž. In other words, a public company might show a big Bitcoin address balance, but if it has debts or customer liabilities of equal or greater value, the proof-of-reserve alone is ânot necessarily an indicator that the company is in a good financial positionâ ïŋž.
This regulatory stance implies that address disclosure, if done, must be paired with proper context. A public company would likely need to clarify in its financial statements or investor communications that on-chain reserves are unencumbered (not pledged as loan collateral, not already sold forward, etc.) and that total liabilities are accounted for. Otherwise, thereâs a risk of misleading investors, which could have legal consequences. For example, if investors interpret the on-chain balance as proof of solvency but the company actually had leveraged those bitcoins for loans, lawsuits or regulatory enforcement could follow for misrepresentation.
Thereâs also a compliance burden associated with revealing addresses. Once an address is known to be the companyâs, that company effectively must monitor all transactions related to it. If someone sends funds to that address (even without permission), the company might receive tainted coins (from hacked sources or sanctioned entities). This could trigger anti-money laundering (AML) red flags. Normally, compliance teams can ignore random deposits to unknown wallets, but they cannot ignore something sent into their publicly identified corporate wallet. Even a tiny dust amount sent from a blacklisted address could complicate compliance â for instance, the company would need to prove it has no relation to the sender and perhaps even avoid moving those tainted outputs. Being in the open increases such exposure. Threat actors might even exploit this by âpoisoningâ a companyâs address with unwanted transactions, just to create regulatory headaches or reputational smears.
Another consideration is that custodial agreements and internal risk controls might forbid public disclosure of addresses. Many public companies use third-party custodians for their Bitcoin (for example, Coinbase Custody, BitGo, etc.). These custodians often treat wallet details as confidential for security. Grayscale noted that its Bitcoin are custodied on Coinbase and implied that revealing on-chain info would interfere with security arrangements ïŋž ïŋž. Itâs possible that some custodians would object to their clients broadcasting addresses, or might require additional assurances. A company going against such advice might be seen as negligent if something went wrong.
Regulators have so far not mandated on-chain proofs for public companies â in fact, recent laws have exempted public companies from proof-of-reserve mandates on the assumption they are already subject to rigorous SEC reporting. For example, a Texas bill in 2023 required crypto exchanges and custodians to provide quarterly proof-of-reserves to the state, but it âspecifically carved out public reporting companiesâ since they already file audited financials with the SEC ïŋž. The rationale was that between SEC filings and audits, public companies have oversight that private crypto firms lack ïŋž. However, this also highlights a gap: even audited financials might not verify 100% of crypto assets (auditors often sample balances). Some observers noted that standard audits âmay not ever include the 100% custodial asset testing contemplated by proof of reservesâ, especially since quarterly SEC filings (10-Q) are often not audited ïŋž. This puts public companies in a nuanced position â they are trusted to use traditional audits and internal controls, but the onus is on them if they choose to add extra transparency like on-chain proofs.
Finally, securities regulators focus on fair disclosure and accuracy. If a company publicly posts addresses, those essentially become investor disclosures subject to anti-fraud rules. The firm must keep them up to date and accurate. Any mistake (such as publishing a wrong address or failing to mention that some coins are locked up or lent out) could attract regulatory scrutiny for being misleading. In contrast, a formal audit or certification from a third-party comes with standards and disclaimers that are better understood by regulators. A self-published wallet list is an unprecedented form of disclosure that regulators havenât fully vetted â meaning the company bears the risk if something is misinterpreted.
In summary, wallet address disclosure as proof-of-reserve must be handled very carefully to avoid regulatory pitfalls. The SEC and others have warned that on-chain assets alone donât tell the whole story ïŋž. Public companies would need to integrate such proofs with their official reporting in a responsible way â otherwise they risk confusion or even regulatory backlash for giving a false sense of security.
Reputational and Operational Risks
While transparency is meant to enhance reputation, in practice public wallet disclosures can create new reputational vulnerabilities. Once an address is public, a companyâs every on-chain action is under the microscope of the crypto community and media. Any anomaly or perceived misstep can snowball into public relations problems.
One vivid example occurred with Crypto.com in late 2022. After the exchange published its cold wallet addresses to prove reserves (a move prompted by the FTX collapse), on-chain analysts quickly noticed a âsuspicious transfer of 320,000 ETHâ â about 82% of Crypto.comâs Ether reserves â moving from their cold wallet to another exchange (Gate.io) ïŋž ïŋž. This large, unexpected transfer sparked immediate panic and FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) on social media. Observers speculated that Crypto.com might be insolvent or was manipulating snapshots of reserves by borrowing funds. The CEO had to publicly respond, admitting it was an operational error â the ETH was supposed to go to a new cold storage address but ended up at a whitelisted external address by mistake ïŋž. The funds were eventually returned, but not before reputational damage was done: the incident made headlines about mishandled funds and rattled user confidence ïŋž ïŋž. This case illustrates how full public visibility can turn an internal slip-up into a highly public crisis. If the addresses had not been public, the mistake might have been quietly corrected; with on-chain transparency, there was nowhere to hide and no way to control the narrative before the public drew worst-case conclusions.
Even routine operations can be misinterpreted. Blockchain data lacks context â analysts may jump to conclusions that hurt a companyâs reputation even if nothing is actually wrong. For instance, Binance (the worldâs largest crypto exchange) encountered scrutiny when on-chain observers noted that one of its reserve wallets (labeled âBinance 8â) contained far more assets than it should have. This wallet was meant to hold collateral for Binanceâs issued tokens, but held an excess balance, suggesting possible commingling of customer funds with collateral ïŋž ïŋž. Bloomberg and others reported a ~$12.7 billion discrepancy visible on-chain ïŋž. Binance had to acknowledge the issue as a âclerical errorâ and quickly separate the funds, all under the glare of public attention ïŋž ïŋž. While Binance maintained that user assets were fully backed and the mistake was purely operational, the episode raised public concern over Binanceâs practices, feeding a narrative that even the largest exchange had internal control lapses. The key point is that public proof-of-reserves made the lapse obvious to everyone, forcing a reactive explanation. The reputational hit (even if temporary) was an operational risk of being so transparent.
Additionally, strategic confidentiality is lost. If a company holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset decides to make a major move (say, reallocating to a different wallet, or using some Bitcoin for a strategic investment or loan), doing so with known addresses broadcasts that strategy. Competitors or market analysts can infer things like âCompany X is moving 10% of its BTC â why? Are they selling? Hedging? Using it as collateral?â This can erode any competitive advantage of keeping financial strategies discreet. It might even affect the companyâs stock price if investors interpret moves negatively. For example, if a blockchain analysis shows the companyâs reserves dropping, shareholders might fear the company sold Bitcoin (perhaps due to financial distress), even if the reality is benign (like moving funds to a new custodian). The company would be forced into continuous public explanation of on-chain actions to prevent misunderstanding.
Thereâs also a risk of exposing business partnerships. Suppose the company uses certain exchanges or OTC desks to rebalance its holdings â transactions with those service providers will be visible and could link the company to them. If one of those partners has issues (say a hacked exchange or a sanctioned entity inadvertently), the company could be reputationally contaminated by association through the blockchain trail.
Finally, not all publicity is good publicity in the crypto world. A public proof-of-reserve might invite armchair auditors to scrutinize and criticize every aspect of the companyâs crypto management. Minor issues could be blown out of proportion. On the flip side, if a company chooses not to publish addresses, it could face reputational risk from a different angle: skeptics might question why it isnât being transparent. (Indeed, Grayscaleâs refusal to disclose wallet addresses led to social media chatter about whether they truly held all the Bitcoin they claimed, contributing to investor nervousness and a steep discount on GBTC shares ïŋž.) Thus, companies are in a delicate spot: share too much and every move invites scrutiny; share too little and you breed distrust.
Balancing Transparency Benefits vs. Risks
The central question is whether the benefit of proving reserve holdings to investors outweighs these security and privacy risks. Itâs a classic risk-reward calculation, and opinions in the industry are divided.
On the side of transparency, many argue that the credibility and trust gained by proof-of-reserves is invaluable. Advocates note that Bitcoin was designed for open verification â âon-chain auditability and permissionless transparencyâ are core features ïŋž. By embracing this, companies demonstrate they are good stewards of a âtrustlessâ asset. In fact, some believe public companies have a duty to be extra transparent. A recent Nasdaq report contended that âwhen a publicly traded company holds Bitcoin but offers no visibility into how that Bitcoin is held or verified, it exposes itself to multiple levels of risk: legal, reputational, operational, and strategicâ, undermining trust ïŋž. In that view, opacity is riskier in the long run â a lack of proof could weaken investor confidence or invite regulatory suspicion. Shareholders and analysts may actually penalize a company that refuses to provide verifiable proof of its crypto assets ïŋž.
Transparency done right can also differentiate a firm as a leader in governance. Publishing reserve data (whether via addresses or through third-party attestations) can be seen as a commitment to high standards. For example, Metaplanet, an investment firm, publicly discloses its BTC reserve addresses and even provides a live dashboard for anyone to verify balances ïŋž. This proactive openness signals confidence and has been touted as an industry best practice in some quarters. By proving its reserves, a company can potentially avoid the fate of those that lost public trust (as happened with opaque crypto firms in 2022). Itâs also a means to preempt false rumors â if data is out in the open, misinformation has less room to grow.
However, the pro-transparency camp increasingly acknowledges that there are smarter ways to achieve trust without courting all the risks. One compromise is using cryptographic proofs or audits instead of plain address dumps. For instance, exchanges like Kraken have implemented Merkle tree proof-of-reserves: an independent auditor verifies all customer balances on-chain and provides a cryptographic report, and customers can individually verify their account is included without the exchange revealing every address publicly. This method proves solvency to those who need to know without handing over a complete roadmap to attackers. Another emerging solution is zero-knowledge proofs, where a company can prove knowledge or ownership of certain assets without revealing the addresses or amounts to the public. These technologies are still maturing, but they aim to deliver the best of both worlds: transparency and privacy.
On the side of caution, many experts believe the risks of full public disclosure outweigh the incremental gain in transparency, especially for regulated public companies. Michael Saylor encapsulates this viewpoint: he calls on-chain proof-of-reserve âa bad ideaâ for institutions, arguing that it âoffers one-way transparencyâ (assets only) and âleaves organizations open to cyberattacksâ ïŋž. He stresses that no serious security expert would advise a Fortune 500 company to list all its wallet addresses, as it essentially compromises corporate security over time ïŋž. Saylor and others also point out the pointlessness of an assets-only proof: unless you also prove liabilities, showing off reserves might even be dangerous because it could lull investors into a false sense of security ïŋž.
Regulators and traditional auditors echo this: proof-of-reserves, while a useful tool, âis not enough by itselfâ to guarantee financial health ïŋž. They advocate for holistic transparency â audits that consider internal controls, liabilities, and legal obligations, not just a snapshot of a blockchain address ïŋž ïŋž. From this perspective, a public company can satisfy transparency demands through rigorous third-party audits and disclosures rather than raw on-chain data. Indeed, public companies are legally bound to extensive reporting; adding public crypto addresses on top may be seen as redundant and risky.
There is also an implicit cost-benefit analysis: A successful attack resulting from over-sharing could be catastrophic (loss of funds, legal liability, reputational ruin), whereas the benefit of public proof is somewhat intangible (improved investor sentiment, which might be achieved via other assurance methods anyway). Given that trade-off, many firms err on the side of caution. As evidence, few if any U.S.-listed companies that hold Bitcoin have published their wallet addresses. Instead, they reference independent custodians and audits for assurance. Even crypto-native companies have pulled back on full transparency after realizing the downsides â for example, some auditing firms halted issuing proof-of-reserves reports due to concerns about how they were interpreted and the liability involved ïŋž ïŋž.
Industry best practices are still evolving. A prudent approach gaining favor is to prove reserves without leaking sensitive details. This can involve disclosing total balances and having an auditor or blockchain oracle confirm the assets exist, but without listing every address publicly. Companies are also encouraged to disclose encumbrances (whether any of the reserves are collateralized or lent out) in tandem, to address the liabilities issue ïŋž. By doing so, they aim to achieve transparency and maintain security.
In evaluating whether to publish wallet addresses, a company must ask: Will this level of openness meaningfully increase stakeholder trust, or would a more controlled disclosure achieve the same goal with less risk? For many public companies, the answer has been to avoid public addresses. The risks â from attracting hackers to revealing strategic moves â tend to outweigh the marginal transparency benefit in their judgment. The collapse of unregulated exchanges has certainly proven the value of reserve verification, but public companies operate in a different context with audits and legal accountability. Thus, the optimal solution may be a middle ground: proving reserves through vetted processes (auditor attestations, cryptographic proofs) that satisfy investor needs without blatantly exposing the companyâs financial backend to the world.
Conclusion
Publishing Bitcoin wallet addresses as proof of reserves is a bold transparency measure â one that speaks to cryptoâs ideals of open verification â but it comes with a laundry list of security considerations. Public companies weighing this approach must contend with the heightened cybersecurity threat of advertising their treasure troves to hackers, the loss of privacy and confidentiality as on-chain sleuths dissect their every transaction, and potential regulatory complications if such disclosures are misunderstood or incomplete. Real-world incidents illustrate the downsides: firms that revealed addresses have seen how quickly online communities flag (and sometimes misinterpret) their blockchain moves, causing reputational turbulence and forcing rapid damage control ïŋž ïŋž.
On the other hand, proving reserves to investors is important â it can prevent fraud and bolster trust. The question is how to achieve it without incurring unacceptable risk. Many experts and industry leaders lean towards the view that simply publishing wallet addresses is too risky a method, especially for public companies with much to lose ïŋž ïŋž. The risks often do outweigh the direct benefits in such cases. Transparency remains crucial, but it can be provided in safer ways â through regular audits, cryptographic proofs that donât expose all wallet details, and comprehensive disclosures that include liabilities and controls.
In conclusion, while on-chain proof of reserves via public addresses offers a tantalizing level of openness, it must be approached with extreme caution. For most public companies, the smart strategy is to balance transparency with security: verify and show investors that assets exist and are sufficient, but do so in a controlled manner that doesnât compromise the very assets youâre trying to protect. As the industry matures, we can expect more refined proof-of-reserve practices that satisfy the demand for honesty and solvency verification without unduly endangering the enterprise. Until then, companies will continue to tread carefully, mindful that transparency is only truly valuable when it doesnât come at the price of security and trust.

01 - Global, borderless transactions: Anyone with internet access can send and receive Bitcoin without needing a bank or government authorization.
02 - Limited and predictable supply: Unlike fiat currencies that can be inflated by central banks, Bitcoin has a fixed cap of 21 million units, making it a scarce and reliable asset.
03 - Security and transparency: The Bitcoin blockchain or timechain publicly records all transactions, ensuring a secure and auditable system.
04 - Censorship resistance: No government or institution can block Bitcoin transactions, enabling a freer and more accessible digital economy.
With these characteristics, Bitcoin is already transforming various economic sectors and driving new forms of commerce and investment.
- Bitcoin in digital commerce and the global economy
01 - E-commerce: Businesses and consumers can use Bitcoin for fast international transactions without exorbitant fees.
02 - International remittances: Workers sending money to their home countries can avoid high fees and long delays by using Bitcoin.
03 - Emerging economies: In countries with unstable currencies and unreliable banking systems, Bitcoin serves as a secure and decentralized alternative for storing wealth and conducting daily transactions.
Additionally, Bitcoin is being adopted by companies and even governments as a store of value, reinforcing its role as a foundation for the digital economy of the future.
- Challenges and adapting to the new economy
01 - Price volatility: Bitcoinâs fluctuating value can make it difficult to use as a daily medium of exchange.
02 - Regulations and governmental resistance: Some countries attempt to restrict or regulate Bitcoin to maintain control over the traditional financial system.
03 - Education and adoption: Many people still lack the knowledge to use Bitcoin safely and effectively.
In summary, Bitcoin is transforming the way the world interacts with money, offering a decentralized and transparent alternative for digital economies. As more individuals and businesses adopt Bitcoin for payments, savings, and global commerce, its impact becomes increasingly clear. Despite the challenges, Bitcoin continues to solidify its place as the foundation of a new economic paradigmâwhere financial freedom and technological innovation go hand in hand.
Thank you very much for reading this far. I hope everything is well with you, and sending a big hug from your favorite Bitcoiner maximalist from Madeira. Long live freedom!

2025-05-28 17:01:48What is KYC/AML?
- The acronym stands for Know Your Customer / Anti Money Laundering.
- In practice it stands for the surveillance measures companies are often compelled to take against their customers by financial regulators.
- Methods differ but often include: Passport Scans, Driver License Uploads, Social Security Numbers, Home Address, Phone Number, Face Scans.
- Bitcoin companies will also store all withdrawal and deposit addresses which can then be used to track bitcoin transactions on the bitcoin block chain.
- This data is then stored and shared. Regulations often require companies to hold this information for a set number of years but in practice users should assume this data will be held indefinitely. Data is often stored insecurely, which results in frequent hacks and leaks. Â
- KYC/AML data collection puts all honest users at risk of theft, extortion, and persecution while being ineffective at stopping crime. Criminals often use counterfeit, bought, or stolen credentials to get around the requirements. Criminals can buy "verified" accounts for as little as $200. Furthermore, billions of people are excluded from financial services as a result of KYC/AML requirements.
During the early days of bitcoin most services did not require this sensitive user data, but as adoption increased so did the surveillance measures. At this point, most large bitcoin companies are collecting and storing massive lists of bitcoiners, our sensitive personal information, and our transaction history.
Lists of Bitcoiners
KYC/AML policies are a direct attack on bitcoiners. Lists of bitcoiners and our transaction history will inevitably be used against us.
Once you are on a list with your bitcoin transaction history that record will always exist. Generally speaking, tracking bitcoin is based on probability analysis of ownership change. Surveillance firms use various heuristics to determine if you are sending bitcoin to yourself or if ownership is actually changing hands. Â You can obtain better privacy going forward by using collaborative transactions such as coinjoin to break this probability analysis.
Fortunately, you can buy bitcoin without providing intimate personal information. Tools such as peach, hodlhodl, robosats, azteco and bisq help; mining is also a solid option: anyone can plug a miner into power and internet and earn bitcoin by mining privately.
You can also earn bitcoin by providing goods and/or services that can be purchased with bitcoin. Long term, circular economies will mitigate this threat: most people will not buy bitcoin - they will earn bitcoin - most people will not sell bitcoin - they will spend bitcoin.
There is no such thing as KYC or No KYC bitcoin, there are bitcoiners on lists and those that are not on lists.

@ b7274d28:c99628cb
2025-05-27 07:07:33A few months ago, a nostrich was switching from iOS to Android and asked for suggestions for #Nostr apps to try out. nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 offered the following as his response:
nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzq0mhp4ja8fmy48zuk5p6uy37vtk8tx9dqdwcxm32sy8nsaa8gkeyqydhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgunsd3jkyuewvdhk6tcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszythwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn99uqzpwwts6n28eyvjpcwvu5akkwu85eg92dpvgw7cgmpe4czdadqvnv984rl0z
Yes. #Android users are fortunate to have some powerful Nostr apps and tools at our disposal that simply have no comparison over on the iOS side. However, a tool is only as good as the knowledge of the user, who must have an understanding of how best to wield it for maximum effect. This fact was immediately evidenced by replies to Derek asking, "What is the use case for Citrine?" and "This is the first time I'm hearing about Citrine and Pokey. Can you give me links for those?"
Well, consider this tutorial your Nostr starter-kit for Android. We'll go over installing and setting up Amber, Amethyst, Citrine, and Pokey, and as a bonus we'll be throwing in the Zapstore and Coinos to boot. We will assume no previous experience with any of the above, so if you already know all about one or more of these apps, you can feel free to skip that tutorial.
So many apps...
You may be wondering, "Why do I need so many apps to use Nostr?" That's perfectly valid, and the honest answer is, you don't. You can absolutely just install a Nostr client from the Play Store, have it generate your Nostr identity for you, and stick with the default relays already set up in that app. You don't even need to connect a wallet, if you don't want to. However, you won't experience all that Nostr has to offer if that is as far as you go, any more than you would experience all that Italian cuisine has to offer if you only ever try spaghetti.
Nostr is not just one app that does one thing, like Facebook, Twitter, or TikTok. It is an entire ecosystem of applications that are all built on top of a protocol that allows them to be interoperable. This set of tools will help you make the most out of that interoperability, which you will never get from any of the big-tech social platforms. It will provide a solid foundation for you to build upon as you explore more and more of what Nostr has to offer.
So what do these apps do?
Fundamental to everything you do on Nostr is the need to cryptographically sign with your private key. If you aren't sure what that means, just imagine that you had to enter your password every time you hit the "like" button on Facebook, or every time you commented on the latest dank meme. That would get old really fast, right? That's effectively what Nostr requires, but on steroids.
To keep this from being something you manually have to do every 5 seconds when you post a note, react to someone else's note, or add a comment, Nostr apps can store your private key and use it to sign behind the scenes for you. This is very convenient, but it means you are trusting that app to not do anything with your private key that you don't want it to. You are also trusting it to not leak your private key, because anyone who gets their hands on it will be able to post as you, see your private messages, and effectively be you on Nostr. The more apps you give your private key to, the greater your risk that it will eventually be compromised.
Enter #Amber, an application that will store your private key in only one app, and all other compatible Nostr apps can communicate with it to request a signature, without giving any of those other apps access to your private key.
Most Nostr apps for Android now support logging in and signing with Amber, and you can even use it to log into apps on other devices, such as some of the web apps you use on your PC. It's an incredible tool given to us by nostr:npub1w4uswmv6lu9yel005l3qgheysmr7tk9uvwluddznju3nuxalevvs2d0jr5, and only available for Android users. Those on iPhone are incredibly jealous that they don't have anything comparable, yet.
Speaking of nostr:npub1w4uswmv6lu9yel005l3qgheysmr7tk9uvwluddznju3nuxalevvs2d0jr5, the next app is also one of his making.
All Nostr data is stored on relays, which are very simple servers that Nostr apps read notes from and write notes to. In most forms of social media, it can be a pain to get your own data out to keep a backup. That's not the case on Nostr. Anyone can run their own relay, either for the sake of backing up their personal notes, or for others to post their notes to, as well.
Since Nostr notes take up very little space, you can actually run a relay on your phone. I have been on Nostr for almost 2 and a half years, and I have 25,000+ notes of various kinds on my relay, and a backup of that full database is just 24MB on my phone's storage.
Having that backup can save your bacon if you try out a new Nostr client and it doesn't find your existing follow list for some reason, so it writes a new one and you suddenly lose all of the people you were following. Just pop into your #Citrine relay, confirm it still has your correct follow list or import it from a recent backup, then have Citrine restore it. Done.
Additionally, there are things you may want to only save to a relay you control, such as draft messages that you aren't ready to post publicly, or eCash tokens, which can actually be saved to Nostr relays now. Citrine can also be used with Amber for signing into certain Nostr applications that use a relay to communicate with Amber.
If you are really adventurous, you can also expose Citrine over Tor to be used as an outbox relay, or used for peer-to-peer private messaging, but that is far more involved than the scope of this tutorial series.
You can't get far in Nostr without a solid and reliable client to interact with. #Amethyst is the client we will be using for this tutorial because there simply isn't another Android client that comes close, so far. Moreover, it can be a great client for new users to get started on, and yet it has a ton of features for power-users to take advantage of as well.
There are plenty of other good clients to check out over time, such as Coracle, YakiHonne, Voyage, Olas, Flotilla and others, but I keep coming back to Amethyst, and by the time you finish this tutorial, I think you'll see why. nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z and others who have contributed to Amethyst have really built something special in this client, and it just keeps improving with every update that's shipped.
Most social media apps have some form of push notifications, and some Nostr apps do, too. Where the issue comes in is that Nostr apps are all interoperable. If you have more than one application, you're going to have both of them notifying you. Nostr users are known for having five or more Nostr apps that they use regularly. If all of them had notifications turned on, it would be a nightmare. So maybe you limit it to only one of your Nostr apps having notifications turned on, but then you are pretty well locked-in to opening that particular app when you tap on the notification.
Pokey, by nostr:npub1v3tgrwwsv7c6xckyhm5dmluc05jxd4yeqhpxew87chn0kua0tjzqc6yvjh, solves this issue, allowing you to turn notifications off for all of your Nostr apps, and have Pokey handle them all for you. Then, when you tap on a Pokey notification, you can choose which Nostr app to open it in.
Pokey also gives you control over the types of things you want to be notified about. Maybe you don't care about reactions, and you just want to know about zaps, comments, and direct messages. Pokey has you covered. It even supports multiple accounts, so you can get notifications for all the npubs you control.
One of the most unique and incredibly fun aspects of Nostr is the ability to send and receive #zaps. Instead of merely giving someone a ðïļ when you like something they said, you can actually send them real value in the form of sats, small portions of a Bitcoin. There is nothing quite like the experience of receiving your first zap and realizing that someone valued what you said enough to send you a small amount (and sometimes not so small) of #Bitcoin, the best money mankind has ever known.
To be able to have that experience, though, you are going to need a wallet that can send and receive zaps, and preferably one that is easy to connect to Nostr applications. My current preference for that is Alby Hub, but not everyone wants to deal with all that comes along with running a #Lightning node. That being the case, I have opted to use nostr:npub1h2qfjpnxau9k7ja9qkf50043xfpfy8j5v60xsqryef64y44puwnq28w8ch for this tutorial, because they offer one of the easiest wallets to set up, and it connects to most Nostr apps by just copy/pasting a connection string from the settings in the wallet into the settings in your Nostr app of choice.
Additionally, even though #Coinos is a custodial wallet, you can have it automatically transfer any #sats over a specified threshold to a separate wallet, allowing you to mitigate the custodial risk without needing to keep an eye on your balance and make the transfer manually.
Most of us on Android are used to getting all of our mobile apps from one souce: the Google Play Store. That's not possible for this tutorial series. Only one of the apps mentioned above is available in Google's permissioned playground. However, on Android we have the advantage of being able to install whatever we want on our device, just by popping into our settings and flipping a toggle. Indeed, thumbing our noses at big-tech is at the heart of the Nostr ethos, so why would we make ourselves beholden to Google for installing Nostr apps?
The nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8 is an alternative app store made by nostr:npub1wf4pufsucer5va8g9p0rj5dnhvfeh6d8w0g6eayaep5dhps6rsgs43dgh9 as a resource for all sorts of open-source apps, but especially Nostr apps. What is more, you can log in with Amber, connect a wallet like Coinos, and support the developers of your favorite Nostr apps directly within the #Zapstore by zapping their app releases.
One of the biggest features of the Zapstore is the fact that developers can cryptographically sign their app releases using their Nostr keys, so you know that the app you are downloading is the one they actually released and hasn't been altered in any way. The Zapstore will warn you and won't let you install the app if the signature is invalid.
Getting Started
Since the Zapstore will be the source we use for installing most of the other apps mentioned, we will start with installing the Zapstore.
We will then use the Zapstore to install Amber and set it up with our Nostr account, either by creating a new private key, or by importing one we already have. We'll also use it to log into the Zapstore.
Next, we will install Amethyst from the Zapstore and log into it via Amber.
After this, we will install Citrine from the Zapstore and add it as a local relay on Amethyst.
Because we want to be able to send and receive zaps, we will set up a wallet with CoinOS and connect it to Amethyst and the Zapstore using Nostr Wallet Connect.
Finally, we will install Pokey using the Zapstore, log into it using Amber, and set up the notifications we want to receive.
By the time you are done with this series, you will have a great head-start on your Nostr journey compared to muddling through it all on your own. Moreover, you will have developed a familiarity with how things generally work on Nostr that can be applied to other apps you try out in the future.

2025-05-28 17:01:48The former seems to have found solid product market fit. Expect significant volume, adoption, and usage going forward.
The latter's future remains to be seen. Dependence on Tor, which has had massive reliability issues, and lack of strong privacy guarantees put it at risk.

The Basics
- Lightning is a protocol that enables cheap and fast native bitcoin transactions.
- At the core of the protocol is the ability for bitcoin users to create a payment channel with another user.
- These payment channels enable users to make many bitcoin transactions between each other with only two on-chain bitcoin transactions: the channel open transaction and the channel close transaction.
- Essentially lightning is a protocol for interoperable batched bitcoin transactions.
- It is expected that on chain bitcoin transaction fees will increase with adoption and the ability to easily batch transactions will save users significant money.
- As these lightning transactions are processed, liquidity flows from one side of a channel to the other side, on chain transactions are signed by both parties but not broadcasted to update this balance.
- Lightning is designed to be trust minimized, either party in a payment channel can close the channel at any time and their bitcoin will be settled on chain without trusting the other party.
There is no 'Lightning Network'
- Many people refer to the aggregate of all lightning channels as 'The Lightning Network' but this is a false premise.
- There are many lightning channels between many different users and funds can flow across interconnected channels as long as there is a route through peers.
- If a lightning transaction requires multiple hops it will flow through multiple interconnected channels, adjusting the balance of all channels along the route, and paying lightning transaction fees that are set by each node on the route.
Example: You have a channel with Bob. Bob has a channel with Charlie. You can pay Charlie through your channel with Bob and Bob's channel with User C.
- As a result, it is not guaranteed that every lightning user can pay every other lightning user, they must have a route of interconnected channels between sender and receiver.
Lightning in Practice
- Lightning has already found product market fit and usage as an interconnected payment protocol between large professional custodians.
- They are able to easily manage channels and liquidity between each other without trust using this interoperable protocol.
- Lightning payments between large custodians are fast and easy. End users do not have to run their own node or manage their channels and liquidity. These payments rarely fail due to professional management of custodial nodes.
- The tradeoff is one inherent to custodians and other trusted third parties. Custodial wallets can steal funds and compromise user privacy.
Sovereign Lightning
- Trusted third parties are security holes.
- Users must run their own node and manage their own channels in order to use lightning without trusting a third party. This remains the single largest friction point for sovereign lightning usage: the mental burden of actively running a lightning node and associated liquidity management.
- Bitcoin development prioritizes node accessibility so cost to self host your own node is low but if a node is run at home or office, Tor or a VPN is recommended to mask your IP address: otherwise it is visible to the entire network and represents a privacy risk.
- This privacy risk is heightened due to the potential for certain governments to go after sovereign lightning users and compel them to shutdown their nodes. If their IP Address is exposed they are easier to target.
- Fortunately the tools to run and manage nodes continue to get easier but it is important to understand that this will always be a friction point when compared to custodial services.
The Potential Fracture of Lightning
- Any lightning user can choose which users are allowed to open channels with them.
- One potential is that professional custodians only peer with other professional custodians.
- We already see nodes like those run by CashApp only have channels open with other regulated counterparties. This could be due to performance goals, liability reduction, or regulatory pressure.
- Fortunately some of their peers are connected to non-regulated parties so payments to and from sovereign lightning users are still successfully processed by CashApp but this may not always be the case going forward.
Summary
- Many people refer to the aggregate of all lightning channels as 'The Lightning Network' but this is a false premise. There is no singular 'Lightning Network' but rather many payment channels between distinct peers, some connected with each other and some not.
- Lightning as an interoperable payment protocol between professional custodians seems to have found solid product market fit. Expect significant volume, adoption, and usage going forward.
- Lightning as a robust sovereign payment protocol has yet to be battle tested. Heavy reliance on Tor, which has had massive reliability issues, the friction of active liquidity management, significant on chain fee burden for small amounts, interactivity constraints on mobile, and lack of strong privacy guarantees put it at risk.
If you have never used lightning before, use this guide to get started on your phone.

2025-05-25 20:26:43So firstly you should find an emulator for whatever you want to play on. There are many for desktop and mobile devices. Checkhere for a list of all the available consoles and their various emulators.
Next what game do you want to play? This is the like the homepage for a shit ton of roms.
Some of the more popular roms are there and other various list like Sony Nintendo
After narrowing down your selection you will end up on myrient i assume this is just some dope person hosting all these so if you get some use out of it, think of donating they even take corn, but other shitcoins too (but thats not the focus here)
Once you download the Rom of the game you want, you will get a compressed (zip) folder, unzip it and within it will be the rom, most systems will identify your emulator and use it open the game. If not, launch the emulator and within it should be an option to open a file, open the file in the unzipped folder.
Enjoy So you want to Mod?
So every Mod, is a mod for a specific game [ex. Pokemon Blue, Pokemon FireRed, Super Mario Bros.] so it requires you to get the Rom for that base game, the mod itself, and a tool to patch it.
There is an online tool to easily patch the mod to the ROM. IMPORTANT, this will not change any naming, Id recommend having a folder with the base game roms, and a folder for the mods, and lastly a folder for the newly modded roms. Make sure to name or just save the game in modded roms folder after the patch.
Below are a few resource to find various Pokemon Rom mods(sometimes called hacks)
Personally, Pokemon Unbound is considered the best most polished hack. it runs on Pokemon Fire Red.
Pokemon Emerald Rouge is a cool take on the popular Rougelite genre. This runs on base game Pokemon Emerald

@ 491afeba:8b64834e
2025-05-27 23:57:01Quando adolescente eu acreditava na coerÊncia da teoria de "amor lÃquido" do polonÊs, sociÃģlogo, Zygmunt Bauman, apresentada no livro "Amor LÃquido: Sobre a Fragilidade dos Laços Humanos", qual no meu amadurecimento em estudos, sejam eles no meio acadÊmico ou fora, percebo como uma das formas mais rasas de explicar as mudanças e transformaçÃĩes dos padrÃĩes de relaçÃĩes sÃģcio-afetivas dos humanos. A seguir colocar-me-ei na minha juventude nÃĢo tanto recente, direi entÃĢo que nÃģs, se adolescentes e conservadores, ou mesmo jovens adultos mais conservadores, costumamos levar como dogma uma Ãģptica decadentista generalizada de todos os avanços de eras dos homens, universalizamos por nos ser comum a indistinçÃĢo entre humanidade e humanidades, ou mesmo "humanity" e "humankind" ("humanidade" como espÃĐcime e "humanidade" como um universal), compreendemos toda "essas" como "essa" e indistinguimos as sociedades para com os homens, ou seja, a incapacidade de definir os seres dentro de suas respectivas singularidades e especificidades nos leva ao decadentismo generalista (a crença de que de forma geral, e universal, a "civilizaçÃĢo universal" decai moralmente, ÃĐticamente, materialmente e espiritualmente), que aparente à nÃģs determinadas mudanças nas relaçÃĩes humanas quanto ao carÃĄter sÃģcio-afetivo, por falta de profundidade e critÃĐrios ainda sobre questÃĩes alinhadas aos mÃĐtodos e coerÊncias, ou incoerÊncias, lÃģgicas, nÃģs se jovens e conservadores somos levados ao engodo de concordar com a teoria do amor lÃquido de Bauman, que devo cÃĄ explicar de antemÃĢo: trata ela, a teoria, o padrÃĢo de "amor" dos tempos presentes como frÃĄgil, de prazo (curto e mÃĐdio) e diferente em grau comparativamente ao amor comum das eras passadas.
Aos jovens mais progressistas opera uma compreensÃĢo dialÃĐtica sobre as eras dos homens nos seu tempo presente, na qual ao tempo que o ser progride ele tambÃĐm regride simultaneamente, ou seja, a medida que aparecem contradiçÃĩes advindas de transformaçÃĩes materiais da realidade humana o ser supera essas contradiçÃĩes e progride em meio as transformaçÃĩes, ainda fazendo parte da lÃģgica dessa indissociavelmente, assim constantemente progredindo e regredindo, havendo para esses dois vetores de distinçÃĢo: o primeiro ÃĐ o que releva questÃĩes espirituais como ao carÃĄter do pensamento "new age", o segundo ignora essas questÃĩes por negar a existÊncia da alma, seguem ao materialismo. Cedem em crer na teoria baumaninana como dogma, pois nÃĢo encontram outros meios para explicar as transformaçÃĩes da sociedade na esfera sÃģcio-afetiva sem que haja confrontamento direto com determinadas premissas assim pertinemente presentes, ou por nÃĢo conciliarem com anÃĄlises relativamente superiores, como a de Anthony Giddens sobre a "relaçÃĢo pura" em "A TransformaçÃĢo da Intimidade" e de François de Singly apresentada em "Sociologie du Couple".
https://i.pinimg.com/736x/6f/b4/9e/6fb49eda2c8cf6dc837a0abfc7e108e6.jpg
HÃĄ um problema quando uma teoria deixa de assim ser para vir a tornar-se mais um elemento desconexo da ciÊncia, agora dentro da cultura pop, se assim podemos dizer, ou da cultura de massa, ou se preferirem mesmo "anticultura", esse problema ÃĐ a sua deformizaçÃĢo teÃģrica, tornando-se essa rasa para sua palatabilidade massiva, somada a incapacidade de partes da sociedade civil em compreender as falhas daquilo que jÃĄ foi massificado. Tive surpresa ao entender que muitos outros compartilham da mesma opiniÃĢo, a exemplo, possuo um amigo na faculdade, marxista, que ao falarmos sobre nossos projetos de pesquisa, citou ele o projeto de um de nossos colegas, no qual esse referido um de nossos colegas faria seu projeto com base na teoria do amor lÃquido de Bauman, entÃĢo alà demos risada disso, ora, para nÃģs a teoria baumaniana ÃĐ furada, passamos a falar sobre Bauman e o motivo pelo qual nÃĢo gostÃĄvamos, lÃĄ fiquei atÃĐ surpreso em saber que mais gente alÃĐm de mim nÃĢo gostava da teoria de Bauman, pois ao que eu via na internet era rede de enaltecimentos à figura e à sua teoria, tal como fosse uma revelaçÃĢo partindo de alguma divindade da Idade do Bronze. Pouco tempo depois tive em aula de teoria polÃtica uma citaçÃĢo de Bauman partindo do professor que ministrava a disciplina, no entanto, ao citar o nome de Bauman o mesmo fez uma feiçÃĢo na qual aparentava segurar risada, provavelmente ele tambÃĐm nÃĢo levava Bauman à sÃĐrio. NÃĢo devo negar que todas as vezes que vejo o sociÃģlogo sendo citado em alguma nota no X, no Instagram ou qualquer outra rede social, tal como fosse um referencial teÃģrico bom, sinto uma vergonha alheia pois alà tenho uma impressÃĢo de que a pessoa nÃĢo leu Bauman e usa o referencial teÃģrico como um fato jÃĄ assim provado e comprovado.
HÃĄ pontos positivos na teoria baumaniana, como a capacidade de perceber o problema e correlacionÃĄ-lo à modernidade, assim como sucitar a influÊncia do que hÃĄ de material no fenÃīmeno, porÃĐm os erros sÃĢo pertinentes: o primeiro problema ÃĐ de categoria. NÃĢo hÃĄ, por parte de Bauman noçÃĢo alguma entre as dissociaçÃĩes dos amores, nÃĢo hÃĄ atençÃĢo sobre o amor como estrutura ou ele como um sentimento, todo ele ÃĐ compreendido uniformemente como "amor", partindo do pressuposto que todas as relaçÃĩes, todas elas, sÃĢo firmadas com base no amor. Essa crença tem uma origem: Hegel. Nos Escritos TeolÃģgicos Hegel partia da crença que o amor ligava os seres relacionalmente como uma força de superaçÃĢo e alienaçÃĢo, mas hÃĄ de compreendermos que esse Friedrich Hegel ÃĐ o jovem ainda pouco maduro em suas ideias e seu sistema de pensamento, mais a frente, em "Fenomenologia do EspÃrito e na Filosofia do Direito", Hegel compreende a institucionalidade do direito no amor e a institucionalizaçÃĢo dessa força, assim aproxima-se da realidade a respeito da inserçÃĢo do amor nas esferas prÃĄticas do humano, porÃĐm essa ideia, apesar de imperfeita, pois ao que sabemos nÃĢo ÃĐ o amor que consolida a relaçÃĢo, mas sim a Verdade (AlÃĐtheia), conforme apontado por Heidegger em "Ser e Tempo", essa ideia do amor como a fundamento das relaçÃĩes humanas influenciou, e atÃĐ hoje influencia, qualquer anÃĄlise sobre as relaçÃĩes humanas fora da esfera materialista, fora dessa pois, melhormente explicado em exemplo, os marxistas (em exemplo), assim como Marx, consideram como base primordial das relaçÃĩes as condiçÃĩes materiais.
Por certo, nÃĢo ÃĐ de todo amor a base para a solidificaçÃĢo, ora, erram aqueles que creem que somente essa força, assim apontada por Hegel, constituiam todos os relacionamentos formais como pilares fundamentais, pois em prÃĄtica as famÃlias eram atÃĐ a fiduciarizaçÃĢo dessas, por mais paradoxal que seja, compreendidas melhor como instituiçÃĩes orgÃĒnicas de carÃĄter legal do que conluios de afetividades. A famÃlia outrora tinha consigo aparelhos de hierarquia bem estabelicidos, quais prezavam pela ordem interna e externa, que acima dessa instituiçÃĢo estava somente a Igreja (outra instituiçÃĢo), com sua fiduciarizaçÃĢo [da famÃlia] apÃģs o movimento tomado pelos Estados nacionais em aplicaçÃĢo do casamento civil mudou-se a lÃģgica das partes que a compÃĩe, findou-se o princÃpio da subsidiariedade (nÃĢo intervençÃĢo de determinadas instituiçÃĩes nas decisÃĩes quais podem ser exercidas em resuluçÃĩes de problemas nas competÊncias de quaisquer instituiçÃĩes), foi-se entÃĢo, contudo, tambÃĐm a autoridade, e nisso revela-se um outro problema nÃĢo apontado na teoria de Bauman: qual o padrÃĢo do amor "sÃģlido"? Pois, ora, sociedades tradicionais nÃĢo abdicavam do relevar dos amores para tornar seus filhos em ativos nas prÃĄticas de trocas (dÃĄdivas)? à notÃģrio que esse padrÃĢo se dissocia do padrÃĢo de sentimento apontado por Bauman, encontramos esse fato em estudo nos trabalhos "Ensaio Sobre a DÃĄdiva", do Marcel Mauss, e "As Estruturas Elementares do Parentesco", do Claude Levi-Strauss, quais expÃĩem que nas sociedades "sÃģlidas", tradicionais, relevava-se mais questÃĩes institucionais que as sentimentais para a formaçÃĢo de laços (teoria da aliança). Muitas das relaçÃĩes passadas nÃĢo eram baseadas no amor, nÃĢo significando assim que as de hoje, em oposiçÃĢo, sejam, mas que permanecem-se semelhantes em base, diferentemente em grau e forma.

Ora, ainda existem casamentos motivados pela polÃtica, pelo status, pelo prestÃgio, pelos bens, pelo poder, pela influÊncia familiar e assim sucetivamente, tal como no passado, ocorre que essa prÃĄtica tornou-se oculta, nÃĢo mais explÃcita e aparente, devo dizer ainda que em partes, pois prepondera em nosso tempo uma epidemia de adultÃĐrios, fornicaçÃĩes, prÃĄticas lascivas e demais prÃĄticas libertinosas explicitamente, em contraposiçÃĢo à s prÃĄticas ocultas em vergonhas de sociedades sem declÃnio moral e espiritual, o que nos leva a questionar o mÃĐtodo comparativo em dicotomia temporal "presente x passado" aplicado por Bauman, no qual segue-se da seguinte forma:
TransformaçÃĢo Passado = *sÃģlido* | Presente = *lÃquido* Categorias PadrÃĢo de amor: tradicional (*sÃģlido*) moderno (*lÃquido*) *SÃģlido* = estÃĄvel, prazo (mÃĐdio-grande), profundo, determinado. *LÃquido* = instÃĄvel, prazo (curto-mÃĐdio), raso, indeterminado.
O que penso ÃĐ: Zygmunt Bauman buscou uma explicaçÃĢo material e laical para desviar ao fato de que hÃĄ uma notÃģria correlaçÃĢo entre espiritualizaçÃĢo da sociedade, se voltada à Verdade, com a estabilidade das instituiçÃĩes, o que ÃĐ jÃĄ reduzido à moral religiosa, somente, nÃĢo à mÃstica, como por pensadores da linha de Tocqueville, ou em abordagens tambÃĐm mais laical (positivista) porÃĐm ainda relevantes, como Ãmile Durkheim em "As Formas Elementares da Vida Religiosa" e Max Weber em "A Ãtica Protestante e o EspÃrito do Capitalismo", contrapondo uma abordage mais voltada, de fato, a espiritualidade, como Christopher Dawnson, que defende essa teoria em "ReligiÃĢo e o Surgimento da Cultura Ocidental", e Eric Voegelin, principalmente nas obras "A Nova CiÊncia da PolÃtica" e "Ordem e HistÃģria".
Encerrando, minha cosmovisÃĢo ÃĐ a catÃģlica, o sistema de crença e religiÃĢo qual sigo ÃĐ do Deus que se fez homem por amor aos seus filhos, nÃĢo posso negar ou mesmo omitir o fato de que, por trÃĄs de toda a minha crÃtica estÃĢo meus pensamentos e minhas convicçÃĩes alinhadas à quilo que mais tenho amor em toda minha vida: a Verdade, e a Verdade ÃĐ Deus, pois Cristo ÃĐ a Verdade, o Caminho e a Vida, ninguÃĐm vai ao Pai se nÃĢo por Ele, e pois bem, seria incoerÊncia de minha parte nÃĢo relevar o fato de crença como um dos motivos pelos quais eu rejeito a teoria do amor lÃquido de Zygmunt Bauman, pois os amores sÃĢo todos eles praticados por formas, existem por diferentes formas e assim sÃĢo desde sua tradicionalidade atÃĐ o predomÃnio das distorçÃĩes de declÃnio espiritual das eras presentes (e tambÃĐm antigas prÃĐ-Era Axial), estÃĢo esses preservados pelo alinhamento à verdade, assim sÃĢo indistorcÃveis, imutÃĄveis, ou seja, amor ÃĐ amor, nÃĢo releva-se o falso amor como um, simplesmente nÃĢo o ÃĐ, assim o interesse, a sanha por bens, o egoÃsmo e a egolatria ("cupiditas", para Santo Agostinho de Hipona, em oposiçÃĢo ao que o santo e filÃģsofo trata por "caritas") nÃĢo sÃĢo formas do amor, sÃĢo autoenganos, nÃĢo bons, se nÃĢo sÃĢo bons logo nÃĢo sÃĢo de Deus, ora, se Deus ÃĐ amor, se ele nos ama, determino como amor (e suas formas) o que estÃĄ de acordo com a Verdade. Aprofundando, a Teologia do Corpo, do Papa SÃĢo JoÃĢo Paulo II, rejeita a "liquidez" apresentada por Bauman, pois o amor ÃĐ, em suma, sacrÃficio, parte da entrega total de si ao prÃģximo, e se nÃĢo hÃĄ logo nÃĢo ÃĐ amor. A Teologia do Corpo rejeita nÃĢo os fundamentos de mentira no "lÃquido", mas tambÃĐm no "sÃģlido", pois a tradicionalidade nÃĢo ÃĐ sinÃīnimo de bom e pleno acordo com o amor que Deus pede de nÃģs, nÃĢo sÃĢo as coerçÃĩes, as violÊncias, as imposiçÃĩes e demais vontades em oposiçÃĢo à s de Deus que determinam os amores -- fatos em oposiçÃĢo ao ideÃĄrio romanticizado. Claro, nem todas as coerçÃĩes sÃĢo por si invÃĄlidas do amor, ou mesmo as escolhas em trocas racionalizadas, a exemplo do autruÃsmo em vista da chance da famÃlia ter Êxito e sucesso, ou seja, pelo bem dos prÃģximos haver a necessidade de submissÃĢo a, em exemplo, um casamento forjado, ou algo do gÊnero, reconhece-se o amor no ato se feito por bem da famÃlia, porÃĐm o amor incutido, nesse caso, explicita o carÃĄter sacrificial, no qual uma vontade e um amor genuinamente potencial em prazeres e alegrias sÃĢo anulados, ou seja, mesmo nesse modelo tradicional na "solidez" hÃĄ possibilidade do amor, nÃĢo nas formas romanticizadas em critÃĐrios, como "estabilidade" e "durabilidade", mas no carÃĄter do sacrÃficio exercido. Conforme nos ensina SÃĢo TomÃĄs de Aquino, o amor nÃĢo ÃĐ uma "força", tal como ensina Hegel, mas sim uma virtude teologal conforme na "Suma TeolÃģgica" (II-II Q. 26-28), nÃĢo devemos reduzir o amor e os amores em anÃĄlises simplÃģrias (nÃĢo simples) de falsa complexidade extraÃdas em mÃĐtodos questionÃĄveis e pouco competentes à real diensÃĢo de crise espiritual das eras, por esse motivo nÃĢo concordo com a teoria do amor lÃquido de Zygmunt Bauman.

2025-05-28 17:01:47Bank run on every crypto bank then bank run on every "real" bank.
â ODELL (@ODELL) December 14, 2022
The four main banks of bitcoin and âcryptoâ are Signature, Prime Trust, Silvergate, and Silicon Valley Bank. Prime Trust does not custody funds themselves but rather maintains deposit accounts at BMO Harris Bank, Cross River, Lexicon Bank, MVB Bank, and Signature Bank. Silvergate and Silicon Valley Bank have already stopped withdrawals. More banks will go down before the chaos stops. None of them have sufficient reserves to meet withdrawals.
Bitcoin gives us all the ability to opt out of a system that has massive layers of counterparty risk built in, years of cheap money and broken incentives have layered risk on top of risk throughout the entire global economy. If you thought the FTX bank run was painful to watch, I have bad news for you: every major bank in the world is fractional reserve. Bitcoin held in self custody is unique in its lack of counterparty risk, as global market chaos unwinds this will become much more obvious.
The rules of bitcoin are extremely hard to change by design. Anyone can access the network directly without a trusted third party by using their own node. Owning more bitcoin does not give you more control over the network with all participants on equal footing.
Bitcoin is:
- money that is not controlled by a company or government
- money that can be spent or saved without permission
- money that is provably scarce and should increase in purchasing power with adoptionBitcoin is money without trust. Whether you are a nation state, corporation, or an individual, you can use bitcoin to spend or save without permission. Social media will accelerate the already deteriorating trust in our institutions and as this trust continues to crumble the value of trust minimized money will become obvious. As adoption increases so should the purchasing power of bitcoin.
A quick note on "stablecoins," such as USDC - it is important to remember that they rely on trusted custodians. They have the same risk as funds held directly in bank accounts with additional counterparty risk on top. The trusted custodians can be pressured by gov, exit scam, or caught up in fraud. Funds can and will be frozen at will. This is a distinctly different trust model than bitcoin, which is a native bearer token that does not rely on any centralized entity or custodian.
Most bitcoin exchanges have exposure to these failing banks. Expect more chaos and confusion as this all unwinds. Withdraw any bitcoin to your own wallet ASAP.

2025-05-28 17:01:47The newly proposed RESTRICT ACT - is being advertised as a TikTok Ban, but is much broader than that, carries a $1M Fine and up to 20 years in prisonïļ! It is unconstitutional and would create massive legal restrictions on the open source movement and free speech throughout the internet.
The Bill was proposed by: Senator Warner, Senator Thune, Senator Baldwin, Senator Fischer, Senator Manchin, Senator Moran, Senator Bennet, Senator Sullivan, Senator Gillibrand, Senator Collins, Senator Heinrich, and Senator Romney. It has broad support across Senators of both parties.
Corrupt politicians will not protect us. They are part of the problem. We must build, support, and learn how to use censorship resistant tools in order to defend our natural rights.
The RESTRICT Act, introduced by Senators Warner and Thune, aims to block or disrupt transactions and financial holdings involving foreign adversaries that pose risks to national security. Although the primary targets of this legislation are companies like Tik-Tok, the language of the bill could potentially be used to block or disrupt cryptocurrency transactions and, in extreme cases, block Americansâ access to open source tools or protocols like Bitcoin.
The Act creates a redundant regime paralleling OFAC without clear justification, it significantly limits the ability for injured parties to challenge actions raising due process concerns, and unlike OFAC it lacks any carve-out for protected speech. COINCENTER ON THE RESTRICT ACT

2025-05-28 17:01:46@matt_odell don't you even dare not ask about nostr!
â Kukks (Andrew Camilleri) (@MrKukks) May 18, 2021
Nostr first hit my radar spring 2021: created by fellow bitcoiner and friend, fiatjaf, and released to the world as free open source software. I was fortunate to be able to host a conversation with him on Citadel Dispatch in those early days, capturing that moment in history forever. Since then, the protocol has seen explosive viral organic growth as individuals around the world have contributed their time and energy to build out the protocol and the surrounding ecosystem due to the clear need for better communication tools.
nostr is to twitter as bitcoin is to paypal
As an intro to nostr, let us start with a metaphor:
twitter is paypal - a centralized platform plagued by censorship but has the benefit of established network effects
nostr is bitcoin - an open protocol that is censorship resistant and robust but requires an organic adoption phase
Nostr is an open communication protocol that can be used to send messages across a distributed set of relays in a censorship resistant and robust way.
â- Anyone can run a relay.
â- Anyone can interact with the protocol.
â- Relays can choose which messages they want to relay.
â- Users are identified by a simple public private key pair that they can generate themselves.Nostr is often compared to twitter since there are nostr clients that emulate twitter functionality and user interface but that is merely one application of the protocol. Nostr is so much more than a mere twitter competitor. Nostr clients and relays can transmit a wide variety of data and clients can choose how to display that information to users. The result is a revolution in communication with implications that are difficult for any of us to truly comprehend.
Similar to bitcoin, nostr is an open and permissionless protocol. No person, company, or government controls it. Anyone can iterate and build on top of nostr without permission. Together, bitcoin and nostr are incredibly complementary freedom tech tools: censorship resistant, permissionless, robust, and interoperable - money and speech protected by code and incentives, not laws.
As censorship throughout the world continues to escalate, freedom tech provides hope for individuals around the world who refuse to accept the status quo. This movement will succeed on the shoulders of those who choose to stand up and contribute. We will build our own path. A brighter path.

2025-05-27 01:01:29For years American bitcoin miners have argued for more efficient and free energy markets. It benefits everyone if our energy infrastructure is as efficient and robust as possible. Unfortunately, broken incentives have led to increased regulation throughout the sector, incentivizing less efficient energy sources such as solar and wind at the detriment of more efficient alternatives.
The result has been less reliable energy infrastructure for all Americans and increased energy costs across the board. This naturally has a direct impact on bitcoin miners: increased energy costs make them less competitive globally.
Bitcoin mining represents a global energy market that does not require permission to participate. Anyone can plug a mining computer into power and internet to get paid the current dynamic market price for their work in bitcoin. Using cellphone or satellite internet, these mines can be located anywhere in the world, sourcing the cheapest power available.
Absent of regulation, bitcoin mining naturally incentivizes the build out of highly efficient and robust energy infrastructure. Unfortunately that world does not exist and burdensome regulations remain the biggest threat for US based mining businesses. Jurisdictional arbitrage gives miners the option of moving to a friendlier country but that naturally comes with its own costs.
Enter AI. With the rapid development and release of AI tools comes the requirement of running massive datacenters for their models. Major tech companies are scrambling to secure machines, rack space, and cheap energy to run full suites of AI enabled tools and services. The most valuable and powerful tech companies in America have stumbled into an accidental alliance with bitcoin miners: THE NEED FOR CHEAP AND RELIABLE ENERGY.
Our government is corrupt. Money talks. These companies will push for energy freedom and it will greatly benefit us all.

- Procena vrednosti

- Broj ljudi koji su prihvatili Bitcoin
- ZakljuÄak
ProÅĄlo je trinaest godina od nastanka Bitcoina i lako je poverovati da je veÄina njegovog rasta iza njega. Deo ovoga je rezultat predrasude koju svi delimo i ÅĄto nas navodi da zamislimo trenutno stanje stvari kao zavrÅĄni stepen njegovog razvoja. Svaki bitcoiner je nekad mislio da je prekasan sa Bitcoin-om. MeÄutim, kada primenjujemo kritiÄko razmiÅĄljanje da bismo procenili gde je Bitcoin u svojoj putanji rasta, otkrivamo da je suprotno u stvari taÄno: joÅĄ uvek je vrlo, vrlo rano.
Postoje dva naÄina da razmiÅĄljate o tome koliko je rano za Bitcoin kao zalihu vrednosti neke imovine:
-
Procena vrednosti kao procenat od njegovog punog potencijala
-
Prihvatanje kao procenat od njegovog punog potencijala (na Äemu je fokus u ovom Älanku).
Procena vrednosti
Prvi i najÄeÅĄÄi naÄin da se proceni koliko je rano za Bitcoin je da se pogleda njegova ukupna vrednost (trenutno oko 900B USD) i uporedi sa njegovim punim potencijalom. Izazov sa ovim je oÄigledno da je puni potencijal Bitcoin-a stvar nagaÄanja. Oni koji duboko razumeju Bitcoin imaju tendenciju da njegov potencijal posmatraju barem kao potencijal zlata (oko 13T USD), ali teoretski viÅĄe poput 200T USD (oko polovine ukupne vrednosti sveta).
Za brzi pregled ovog potencijala od 200T USD, pogledajmo ukupno raspoloÅūivo trÅūiÅĄte Bitcoin-a. Radi jednostavnosti, samo Äemo razmotriti njegovu ulogu zalihe vrednosti i zanemariti njegov potencijal da pojede trÅūiÅĄni udeo od oko 100T USD ukupne vrednosti u razliÄitim svetskim valutama. UzimajuÄi u obzir razliÄite zalihe vrednosne imovine i grubom procenom koliki bi % Bitcoin mogao da uzme od njih, dobili smo ovakav rezultat:
Iako put do 200T USD nije veliko rastezanje, u stvarnoj vrednosti Äini se previÅĄe dobrim da bi bio istinit. Sa obzirom da je bez presedana da zaliha vrednosti neke robe postigne vrednost veÄu od zlata, to jednostavno predstavlja neistraÅūenu teritoriju. Ali Äak i ako se jednostavno pridrÅūavamo targetiranja niÅūe ciljne vrednosti zlata od 13T USD, Bitcoin joÅĄ uvek tendenciju velikog porasta svoje cene u buduÄnosti.
VeÄina Bitcoin-ovih pozitivnih strana opstaje
Svako ko razmiÅĄlja da neÅĄto svog teÅĄko zaraÄenog novca uskladiÅĄti u Bitcoin pita se âda li sam poranio ili zakasnio?â Nepisano je pravilo da se svako oseÄa kao da je zakasnio kad stigne. Brojni su primeri ljudi koji Åūale kako su zakasnili 2011. ili 2013. ili 2016. godine, kada je cena Bitcoin-a bila 5, 100, odnosno 600 USD.
Kao i u bilo kojoj zajednici koja se razvija i raste i u kojoj ima manjka nekretninama, pridoÅĄlice zavide ljudima koji su veÄ obezbedili sebi nekretninu, ne sluteÄi da Äe njima zavideti ljudi koji tek treba da doÄu. Ovaj fenomen je primenjiv i na velikom broju drugih primera. Na primer, zakasneli u Kalifornijskoj zlatnoj groznici bili su razoÄarani kada su doÅĄli, a bogata zlatna polja su veÄ bila iscrpljena, i umesto toga su se naseliti na nekoliko stotina hektara zemljiÅĄta, a koje sada vrede bogatstvo.
U srcu ovog oseÄanja je strah da viÅĄe nema uspona, da viÅĄe nema novca koji se moÅūe zaraditi uzimajuÄi ono ÅĄto je joÅĄ uvek ostalo dostupno. Da li smo dostigli tu taÄku sa Bitcoin-om?
Pa ne. Äini se da je zapravo suprotno. Na osnovu punog potencijalnog opsega procene koji smo utvrdili gore, Äak i u ishodu niskog nivoa (13T USD), velika veÄina bogatstva koje Äe steÄi vlasnici Bitcoin-a, tek treba da se stekne (96%). Da bi parirao proceni zlata, Bitcoin i dalje mora da poraste 26 puta.
A ako se desi vrhunski ishod, punih 99,7% ukupnog stvaranja bogatstva Bitcoin-a ostaje pred nama. To bi znaÄilo da Bitcoin joÅĄ uvek treba da poraste 400 puta, zanemarujuÄi pariranje zlatu.
Stavljanjem trenutne vrednosti Bitcoin-a u perspektivu, postaje jasno da je za Bitcoin joÅĄ uvek vrlo rano.
Iako ova analiza sugeriÅĄe da za Bitcoin-u ostaje od 26x do 400x rasta, korisno je proveriti ovaj zakljuÄak kroz drugo razumno objaÅĄnjenje, a tamo gde je poznat puni potencijalâĶ
Broj ljudi koji su prihvatili Bitcoin
Procene broja vlasnika Bitcoin-a ÅĄirom sveta se veoma razlikuju. To je dovelo do priliÄne koliÄine dvosmislenosti i nesigurnosti u vezi sa stvarnim brojevima i odreÄenog stepena odustajanja i miÅĄljenja da je taj broj jednostavno preteÅĄko precizno proceniti. Iako je teÅĄko utvrditi konaÄan broj, glavni razlog za odstupanje u procenama je nedostatak standardizovanih definicija ÅĄta znaÄi prihvatanje Bitcoin-a.
Istina je da postoje razliÄiti nivoi prihvatanja Bitcoin-a. Podelom na segmente prihvatanja Bitcoin-a lakÅĄe je uvideti ne samo zaÅĄto postoji ÅĄirok opseg procena, veÄ i joÅĄ vaÅūnije, koliko je joÅĄ uvek rano za prihvatanje Bitcoin-a kao preferirane zalihe vrednosti.
U ove svrhe, hajde da podelimo u segmente prihvatanje Bitcoin-a na Äetiri razliÄita ânivoaâ:
1. KeÅūual amateri (prstom u vodi)
2. Alokatori 1% (stopalima u vodi)
3. ZnaÄajni vernici (do pojasa u vodi)
4. Bitcoin maximalisti (u vodi preko glave)
Pre nego ÅĄto poÄnemo, potreban nam je imenilac. Mogli bismo da koristimo globalno stanovniÅĄtvo, ali po mom miÅĄljenju ovo daje loÅĄe rezultate. Ono ÅĄto mi zaista procenjujemo je koji procenat sveta koji poseduje odredjeno bogatstvo za skladiÅĄtenje u Bitcoin-u, je to i uÄinio. Prema podacima sa sajta Statista, 2,2 biliona ljudi na svetu poseduje najmanje 10k USD u neto vrednosti, ÅĄto se Äini kao razumna granica za zalihu koju Åūele da uskladiÅĄte. Äinjenica je da Äe siromaÅĄne zajednice takoÄe koristiti Bitcoin kao zalihu vrednosti i verovatno Äe iz njega izvuÄi veÄu korist kao rezultat marginalnog pristupa tradicionalnoj bankarskoj infrastrukturi kao klijenti banaka sa âniskom vrednoÅĄÄuâ. MeÄutim, u naÅĄe svrhe, jednostavno gledamo koliko je ljudi usvojilo Bitcoin meÄu grupama sa znaÄajnim bogatstvom za skladiÅĄtenje, tako da Äe 2.2 biliona sluÅūiti kao naÅĄa puna potencijalna veliÄina trÅūiÅĄta.
1. KeÅūual amateri
Ovaj segment ljudi koji su prihvatili Bitcoin ukljuÄuje sve one koji imaju bilo koju koliÄinu Bitcoin-a â vaÅĄeg prijatelja sa 20 USD BTC-a negde u nekom novÄaniku ili vaÅĄu tetku koja se ne seÄa svoje Coinbase lozinke iz 2017. Po mom miÅĄljenju, najveÄa zabuna oko broja ljudi koji su prihvatili Bitcoin nastaje zbog poistoveÄivanja âkeÅūual amateraâ sa ljudima koji su u potpunosti prihvatili Bitcoin. Realnost je takva da ljudi ovog segmenta uglavnom samo eksperimentiÅĄu, bilo da bi stekli oseÄaj za ono o Äemu svi priÄaju, ili samo uloÅūu nekoliko dolara u Bitcoin u nadi da Äe moÅūda dobiti dÅūekpot, kao ÅĄto je sluÄaj sa greb-greb nagradnim igrama.
Zbog toga, âkeÅūual amateriâ su razlog dovodjenja u zabludu pravog broja ljudi koji su u potpunosti prihvatili Bitcoin. Njihovo ponaÅĄanje zapravo ne predstavlja prihvatanje u pravom smislu te reÄi i stoga se ne bi trebalo smatrati ljudima koji su u potpunosti prihvatili Bitcoin. Istina je da, kada keÅūual amateri shvate da je Bitcoin najbolja zaliha vrednosti neke imovine u istoriji, neÄe ostati na samo 20 USD u Bitcoin-ima. Umesto toga, oni Äe svoju ÅĄtednju prebaciti u mnogo veÄim iznosima.
Å to se tiÄe odredjivanja veliÄine ovog segmenta, Willy Woo je sastavio razumno iscrpnu i sveobuhvatnu procenu od oko 187 miliona ljudi koji su prihvatili Bitcoin, ÅĄto znaÄi da su oni u najmanju ruku âkeÅūual amateriâ.
KoristeÄi ovaj i naÅĄ puni potencijal od 2,2 biliona ljudi kao imenioca, 8,5% potencijalnih ljudi koji su prihvatili Bitcoin-e dostiglo je nivo âkeÅūual amateraâ. Ovo je priliÄno velik broj i potpuno obmanjuje stvarni obim potpunog prihvatanja, a ÅĄto Äe pokazati sledeÄi segmenti.
2. Alokatori 1%
Za preostale potkategorije, taÄni podaci su manje dostupni. Kao takvi, sve ÅĄto moÅūemo je da smislimo razumne procene putem triangulacije.
Po mom miÅĄljenju, âalokatori 1%â se mogu okarakterisati kao ljudi koji su prihvatili Bitcoin, i koji Åūele da imaju mali, ali ne i zanemarljivi deo u Bitcoin-u. Za naÅĄe svrhu, mislim da je pristojan prag za ovu grupu svako ko ima najmanje 0,1 Bitcoin, i moÅūe se smatrati da imaju malu, ali ne i zanemarljivu poziciju u Bitcoin-u.
GledajuÄi Bitcoin blockchain, postoji oko 3 miliona adresa koje imaju najmanje 0,1 BTC. Pored ovih brojeva na blockchain-u, moramo da uzmemo u obzir i znatan broj ljudi koji imaju ovaj iznos na berzi ili GBTC-u. Kombinovanjem, mislim da je razumno proceniti da je 10 miliona ljudi dostiglo nivo âalokatora 1%â ili veÄi.
Na osnovu ovih brojeva, samo 1â17 âkeÅūual amateraâ dostiglo je nivo prihvatanja âalokatora 1%â, ÅĄto znaÄi da je ovaj nivo prihvatanja Bitcoin-a do danas postigao samo 0,5% penetracije. Ovaj strmi pad je razlog zaÅĄto je doÅĄlo do zablude da veliki broj âkeÅūual amateraâ bude oznaÄeno kao grupa koja je u potpunosti prihvatila Bitcoin.
3. ZnaÄajni vernici
U ovu kategoriju spada svako ko je dostigao nivo razumevanja Bitcoin-a da alokacija od 1% ili Äak 5% viÅĄe ne izgleda dovoljna.
UopÅĄteno govoreÄi, ova grupa se kreÄe u rasponu od 5 â 50%. IÅĄao bih toliko daleko da bih rekao da je veÄina ljudi koji sebe smatraju vernicima u Bitcoin-e, ukljuÄujuÄi veÄinu Bitcoin Twitter-a, negde u ovoj grupi.
Procena veliÄine ove grupe postaje mnogo nejasnija, ali moÅūemo se osloniti na podatke iz blockchain-a da bismo doÅĄli do razumne procene.
Za poÄetak, hajde da utvrdimo da je veÄina ljudi koji su dostigli ovaj nivo verovanja i razumevanja Bitcoin-a, izborila da poseduje najmanje 1 Bitcoin. Pored toga, ovaj nivo ljudi koji su prihvatili Bitcoin je verovatno osigurao svoj Bitcoin u chain-u novÄanika kojim oni upravljaju. GledajuÄi podatke na chain-u, oko 820k adresa ima najmanje 1 Bitcoin. Kao grubu pretpostavku, uzmimo da 500k od toga poseduju ljudi koji su dostigli nivo prihvatanja âznaÄajnog vernikaâ.
Ako potom generiÄki zaokruÅūimo akaunte za ljude koji nisu postigli status wholeÂcoiner-a (eng. osoba koja poseduje barem 1 BTC), ili koji svoja sredstva drÅūe na berzi, dolazimo do grube procene od 2 miliona âznaÄajnih vernikaâ.
4. Bitcoin maximalÂisti
Za naÅĄu svrhu, recimo da ova grupa ukljuÄuje svakoga ko je dovoljno duboko uÅĄao u Bitcoin da je zakljuÄio da bi viÅĄe od 50% njihove neto vrednosti trebalo da bude uskladiÅĄteno u Bitcoin-u.
Procena veliÄine ove grupe je gotovo nemoguÄa, zato Äemo morati da budemo kreativni.
-
Prodaja âBitcoin Standardâ
-
Hajde da konzervativno procenimo da je samo 20% maximalistiÄara kupilo Bitcoin Standard, i da je 50% tih ljudi koji su ga razumeli, postali maksimalisti. Na osnovu knjige Amazon US rank (6,681), onlajn kalkulatori procenjuju da je prodato oko 15k primeraka.
- Hajde da budemo velikoduÅĄni i da zaokruÅūimo taj broj od oko 15k na 50k, uzimajuÄi u obzir meÄunarodnu prodaju i kupovinu izvan Amazona.
Ovo nas dovodi do procene broja od 125k maximalista. Da ne bismo pogreÅĄili, biÄemo oprezni, i udvostruÄimo taj broj i reÄiÄemo da ih ima 250k.
- Kvalitativna triangulacija
Äisto subjektivno, ali Äini mi se da na Twitter-u, primarnom domu za komunikaciju maximalista, postoji moÅūda 10k aktivno angaÅūovanih Bitcoin maximalista. Da budemo vrlo konzervativni, recimo da ovo predstavlja oko 5% maximalista (od ukupno 200k).
Uz to, kao procenu od vrha nadole, Äini se opravdanim da je oko 10% ljudi koji su dostigli 5 â 50% alokacije Bitcoin-a napravilo skok ka maximalizmu.
Sve u svemu, cifra od oko 250k Bitcoin maximalista Äini se konzervativnom, ako ne i velikoduÅĄnom pretpostavkom.
To nas dovodi do 0,01% penetracije.
ZakljuÄak
Kako god gledali brojke, joÅĄ uvek je rano za Bitcoin. PosmatrajuÄi procenu vrednosti Bitcoin-a kao procenat njegovog punog potencijala, vidimo da je trenutna vrednost Bitcoin-a negde izmeÄu 0,2% i 3% njegovog krajnjeg stanja, ÅĄto znaÄi da ostaje 30x do 500x rasta. GledajuÄi napredak prihvatanja Bitcoin-a, vidimo da je trenutna penetracija Bitcoin-a negde izmeÄu 0,01% i 8,5%, u zavisnosti od toga koji prag prihvatanja gledate.
Ako verujete, kao ÅĄto ja verujem, da je Bitcoin na putu da postane dominantna zaliha vrednosti i preferirani novac za ceo svet, na kraju Äe norma biti viÅĄe od 50% posedovanja neto vrednosti u Bitcoin-u. BuduÄi da naÅĄa analiza ovde sugeriÅĄe da samo 0,01% sveta zadovoljava ove standarde, opravdano je zakljuÄiti da 99,99% sveta ostaje da sledi njihov primer.
Sve u svemu, dok svi koji se pojave na Bitcoin-u neizbeÅūno oseÄaju Åūaljenje zbog toga ÅĄto nisu ranije investirali i pitaju se da li su u potpunosti propustili brod, jasno je da veÄina rasta Bitcoin-a ostaje pred nama. Da stavimo ovo u neki kontekst, obzirom da moÅūe postojati samo 21 milion Bitcoin-a, proseÄna osoba na zemlji (od 8 biliona ljudi) imaÄe samo 0,0025 Bitcoin-a. JoÅĄ je toliko rano, da ukupna neto vrednost te proseÄne osobe u Bitcoin-u moÅūe da se kupi za samo 90 USD.
I ako mislite da je kasno, zapravo je veoma rano, zato vam Äestitam i uÅūivajte u skupljanju sats-ova dok su joÅĄ uvek ovako jeftini!

Cake Wallet Introduces PayJoin v2, Increasing Bitcoin Privacy For The MassesCake Wallet, a non-custodial open-source wallet for cryptocurrencies, has officially launched PayJoin v2, becoming the first major mobile wallet to offer Bitcoin silent payments to everyday users.Â
This integration introduces a protocol upgrade that disrupts blockchain surveillance by mixing transaction inputs from both the sender and receiver, undermining the common blockchain surveillance techniques chain analysts typically rely on.Â
JUST LAUNCHED: Cake Wallet v4.28.0 brings Bitcoin Payjoin v2!
âĒ No need for both parties to be online
âĒ No server required
âĒ Just a few taps in your walletIt's that simple
Update Cake Wallet to try it out! pic.twitter.com/IjOccnBYy7
â Cake Wallet (@cakewallet) May 19, 2025
âBitcoin is open and permissionless â but without privacy, itâs a surveillance tool,â said Vikrant Sharma, CEO of Cake Wallet in a recent press release sent to Bitcoin Magazine. âThis upgrade gives everyday users the ability to transact privately, without needing to be online or run a server.â
Cake Walletâs implementation removes the limitation of requiring both parties to be online or run a server to coordinate a transaction. Users can now send or receive Bitcoin through asynchronous, serverless PayJoin transactionsâno Tor, no apps, no advanced configuration.Â
âThis makes Bitcoin privacy accessible to people who arenât developers or hardcore cypherpunks,â said Sharma. âWeâve seen huge progress with Monero privacy tools. Now, Bitcoin users can take a step towards privacy as well, built right into a mainstream wallet.â
This announcement follows closely on the heels of another major privacy upgrade: Cake Wallet recently became one of the first major wallets to support Silent Payments, allowing users to receive Bitcoin without exposing a reusable address.Â

"Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. Â A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world." - Eric Hughes, A Cypherpunk's Manifesto, 1993
Privacy is essential to freedom. Without privacy, individuals are unable to make choices free from surveillance and control. Lack of privacy leads to loss of autonomy. When individuals are constantly monitored it limits our ability to express ourselves and take risks. Any decisions we make can result in negative repercussions from those who surveil us. Without the freedom to make choices, individuals cannot truly be free.
Freedom is essential to acquiring and preserving wealth. When individuals are not free to make choices, restrictions and limitations prevent us from economic opportunities. If we are somehow able to acquire wealth in such an environment, lack of freedom can result in direct asset seizure by governments or other malicious entities. At scale, when freedom is compromised, it leads to widespread economic stagnation and poverty. Protecting freedom is essential to economic prosperity.
The connection between privacy, freedom, and wealth is critical. Without privacy, individuals lose the freedom to make choices free from surveillance and control. While lack of freedom prevents individuals from pursuing economic opportunities and makes wealth preservation nearly impossible. No Privacy? No Freedom. No Freedom? No Wealth.
Rights are not granted. They are taken and defended. Rights are often misunderstood as permission to do something by those holding power. However, if someone can give you something, they can inherently take it from you at will. People throughout history have necessarily fought for basic rights, including privacy and freedom. These rights were not given by those in power, but rather demanded and won through struggle. Even after these rights are won, they must be continually defended to ensure that they are not taken away. Rights are not granted - they are earned through struggle and defended through sacrifice.

- Kako mogu da saznam viÅĄe o Bitcoin-u?
Bitcoin Äini da ÅĄtednja novca bude kul â i praktiÄna â ponovo. Ovaj Älanak objaÅĄnjava kako i zaÅĄto.
Å ta je Bitcoin?
Bitcoin se naziva digitalno zlato, maÅĄina za istinu, blockchain, peer to peer mreÅūa Ävorova, energetski ponor i joÅĄ mnogo toga. Bitcoin je, u stvari, sve ovo. MeÄutim, ova objaÅĄnjenja su Äesto toliko tehniÄka i suvoparna, da bi veÄina ljudi radije gledala kako trava raste. Å to je najvaÅūnije, ova objaÅĄnjenja ne pokazuju kako Bitcoin ima bilo kakve koristi za vas.
iPod nije postao kulturoloÅĄka senzacija jer ga je Apple nazvao âprenosnim digitalnim medijskim ureÄajemâ. Postao je senzacija jer su ga zvali â1,000 pesama u vaÅĄem dÅūepu.â
Ne zanima vas ÅĄta je Bitcoin. Vas zanima ÅĄta on moÅūe da uÄini za vas.
BaÅĄ kao i Internet, vaÅĄ auto, vaÅĄ telefon, kao i mnogi drugi ureÄaji i sistemi koje svakodnevno koristite, vi ne treba da znate ÅĄta je Bitcoin ili kako to funkcioniÅĄe da biste razumeli ÅĄta on moÅūe da uÄini za vas.
Å ta Bitcoin moÅūe da uÄini za vas?
Bitcoin moÅūe da saÄuva vaÅĄ teÅĄko zaraÄeni novac.
Bitcoin je stekao veliku paÅūnju u 2017. i 2018. godini zbog svoje spekulativne upotrebe. Mnogi ljudi su ga kupili nadajuÄi se da Äe se obogatiti. Cena je naglo porasla, a zatim se sruÅĄila. Ovo nije bio prvi put da je Bitcoin uradio to. MeÄutim, niko nikada nije izgubio novac drÅūeÄi bitcoin duÅūe od 3,5 godine â Äak i ako je kupio na apsolutnim vrhovima.
ZaÅĄto Bitcoin konstantno raste? Ljudi poÄinju da shvataju koliko je Bitcoin moÄan, kao naÄin uÅĄtede novca u svetu u kojem je ânovacâ poput dolara, eura i drugih nacionalnih valuta dizajniran da gubi vrednost.
Ovo Äini Bitcoin odliÄnom opcijom za ÅĄtednju novca na nekoliko godina ili viÅĄe. Bitcoin je bolji od ÅĄtednje novca u dolarima, akcijama, nekretninama, pa Äak i u zlatu.
Zato pokuÅĄajte da zaboravite na trenutak na razumevanje blockchaina, digitalne valute, kriptografije, seed fraza, novÄanika, rudarstva i svih ostalih nerazumljivih termina. Za sada, razgovarajmo o tome zaÅĄto ljudi kupuju Bitcoin: razlog je prostiji nego ÅĄto vi mislite.
ZaÅĄto ljudi kupuju Bitcoin?
Naravno, svako ima svoj razlog za kupovinu Bitcoin-a. Jedan od razloga, koji verovatno Äesto Äujete, je taj ÅĄto mu vrednost raste. Ljudi Åūele da se obogate. UskoÄe kao spekulanti, krenu u voÅūnju i najverovatnije ih prodaju ubrzo nakon kupovine.
MeÄutim, Äak i kada cena krene naglo prema gore i strmoglavo padne nazad, mnogi ljudi ostanu i nakon tog pada. Otkud mi to znamo? Broj aktivnih novÄanika dnevno, koji je otprilike sliÄan broju korisnika Bitcoin-a, nastavlja da raste. TakoÄe, nakon svakog balona u istoriji Bitcoin-a, cena se nikada ne vraÄa na svoju cenu pre balona. Uvek ostane malo viÅĄlja. Bitcoin se penje, a svaka masovna spekulativna serija dovodi sve viÅĄe i viÅĄe ljudi.
Broj aktivnih Bitcoin novÄanika neprekidno raste

To pokazuje da se ljudi zadrÅūavaju: potraÅūnja za Bitcoin-om se poveÄava. Da je svaki masovni rast cena bio samo balon koji su iscenirali prevaranti koji Åūele brzo da se obogate, cena bi se vratila na nivo pre balona. To se dogodilo sa lalama, ali ne i sa Bitcoin-om.
I zaÅĄto se onda cena Bitcoin-a stalno poveÄava? Sve veÄi broj ljudi Äuva Bitcoin dugoroÄno â oni razumeju ÅĄta Bitcoin moÅūe uÄiniti za njihovu ÅĄtednju.
ZaÅĄto ljudi ÅĄtede svoj novac u Bitcoin-u umesto na ÅĄtednim raÄunima, kuÄama, deonicama ili zlatu? Hajde da pogledajmo sve te metode ÅĄtednje, i zatim da ih uporedimo sa Bitcoin-om.
Da li je vaÅĄ novac siguran u dolarima, kuÄama, akcijama ili zlatu?
Tokom mnogo godina, to su bile pristojne opcije za ÅĄtednju. MeÄutim, sistem koji podrÅūava vrednost svega ovoga je u krizi.
Dolari, Euri, Dinari
Dolari i sve ostale âtradicionalneâ valute koje proizvode vlade, stvorene su da izgube vrednost kroz inflaciju. Banke i tradicionalni monetarni sistem uzrokuju inflaciju stalnim stvaranjem i distribucijom novog novca. Kada AmeriÄke Federalne Rezerve objave ciljanu stopu od 2% inflacije, to znaÄi da Åūele da vaÅĄ novac svake godine izgubi 2% od svoje vrednosti. Äak i sa inflacijom od samo 2%, vaÅĄa ÅĄtednja u dolarima izgubiÄe polovinu vrednosti tokom 40-godiÅĄnjeg radnog veka.
IzveÅĄtena inflacija se danas opasno poveÄava, uprkos rastuÄem âburetu sa barutomâ koji bi mogao da explodira i dovede do masivne hiperinflacije. Å to je viÅĄe valute u opticaju, to je viÅĄe baruta u buretu.
NaÅĄe vlade su ekonomiju napunile valutama da bankarski sistem ne bi propao nakon finansijske krize koja se dogodila 2008. godine. Od tada je veÄina glavnih centralnih banaka postavila vrlo niske kamatne stope, ÅĄto pojedincima i korporacijama omoguÄava dobijanje jeftinijih kredita. To znaÄi da mnogi pojedinci i korporacije podiÅūu ogromne kredite i koriste ih za kupovinu druge imovine poput deonica, umetniÄkih dela i nekretnina. Sve ovo pozajmljivanje znaÄi da stvaramo tone novog novca i stavljamo ga u opticaj.
RaÄuni za podsticaje (stimulus bills) COVID-19 za 2020. godinu unose trilione u sistem. Ovoliko stvaranje valuta na kraju dovodi do inflacije â velikog gubitka u vrednosti valute.
KoliÄina ameriÄkog dolara u opticaju gotovo se udvostruÄila od marta 2020. godine. Izvor
RaÄuni za podsticaje su bez presedana, toliko da je neko izmislio meme da opiÅĄe ovu situaciju.
Resurs koji vlade mogu da naprave u veÄem broju da bi platile svoje raÄune? Ne zvuÄi kao dobro mesto za ÅĄtednju novca.
KuÄe
KuÄe su tokom proÅĄlog veka bile pristojan naÄin ÅĄtednje novca. MeÄutim, pad cena nekretnina 2007. godine doveo je do toga da su mnogi vlasnici kuÄa izgubili svu uÅĄteÄevinu.
Danas su kuÄe gotovo nepristupaÄne za proseÄnog Äoveka. Jedan od naÄina da se ovo izmeri je koliko godiÅĄnjih zarada treba proseÄnom Äoveku da zaradi ekvivalent vrednosti proseÄne kuÄe. Prema CityLab-u, publikaciji Bloomberg-a koja pokriva gradove, porodica moÅūe da priuÅĄtiti odreÄenu kuÄu ako koÅĄta manje od 2,6 godiÅĄnjih prihoda domaÄinstva te porodice.
MeÄutim, prema RZS (RepubliÄki zavod za statistiku) proseÄan prihod porodiÄnog domaÄinstva u Srbiji iznosi oko 570 EUR meseÄno ili otprilike 7.000 EUR godiÅĄnje. NaÅūalost, samo najjeftinija podruÄja van gradova imaju srednje cene kuÄa od oko 2,6 proseÄnih godiÅĄnjih prihoda domaÄinstva. U veÄim gradovima poput Beograda i Novog Sada srednja cena kuÄe je veÄa od 10 proseÄnih godiÅĄnjih prihoda jednog domaÄinstva.
Ako nekako moÅūete sebi da priuÅĄtite kuÄu, ona bi mogla biti pristojna zaliha vrednosti. Dokle god ne doÅūivimo joÅĄ jedan krah i izvrÅĄitelji zaplene ovu imovinu mnogim vlasnicima kuÄa.
Akcije
Berza je u proÅĄlosti takoÄe dobro poslovala. MeÄutim, sporo i stabilno poveÄanje trÅūiÅĄta dogaÄa se u dosadnom, predvidljivom svetu. Svakog dana vidimo sve manje toga. Nakon ubrzanja korona virusa, videli smo smo najbrÅūi pad ameriÄke berze u istoriji od 25% â brÅūi od Velike depresije.
Neki se odluÄuju za ulaganje u obveznice i drugu finansijsku imovinu, ali âprinosiâ za tu imovinu â procenat kamate zaraÄene na imovinu iz godine u godinu â stalno opada. Sve veÄi broj odredjenih imovina ima Äak i negativne prinose, ÅĄto znaÄi da posedovanje te imovine koÅĄta! Ovo je veliki problem za sve koji se oslanjaju na penziju. Plus, s obzirom na to da su akcije denominovane u tradicionalnim valutama poput dolara i evra, inflacija pojede prinos koji investitor dobije.
Najgore od svega je to ÅĄto ti isti ekonomski krahovi koji uzrokuju masovna otpuÅĄtanja i teÅĄko trÅūiÅĄte rada takoÄe znaÄe i nagli pad cena akcija. Äuvanje uÅĄteÄevine u akcijama moÅūe znaÄiti i gubitak ÅĄtednje i gubitak posla zbog recesije. TeÅĄka vremena mogu da vas prisile da svoje akcije prodate po vrlo malim cenama samo da biste platili svoje raÄune.
A to nije baÅĄ siguran naÄin ÅĄtednje novca.
Zlato
Vrednost zlata neprekidno se poveÄavala tokom 5000 godina, obiÄno padajuÄi onda kada berza obeÄava jaÄe prinose.
Evidencija vrednosti zlata je solidna. MeÄutim, zlato nosi i druge rizike. VeÄina ljudi poseduje zlato na papiru. Oni fiziÄki ne poseduju zlato, veÄ ga njihova banka Äuva za njih. Zbog toga je zlato veoma podloÅūno konfiskaciji od strane vlade.
ZaÅĄto bi vlada konfiskovala neÄije zlato, a kamoli u demokratskoj zemlji u âslobodnom svetuâ? Ali to se deÅĄavalo i ranije. 1933. godine IzvrÅĄnom Naredbom 6102, predsednik Roosevelt naredio je svim Amerikancima da prodaju svoje zlato vladi u zamenu za papirne dolare. Vlada je iskoristila pretnju zatvorom za prikupljanje zlata u fiziÄkom obliku. Znali su da se zlato viÅĄe poÅĄtuje kao zaliha vrednosti ÅĄirom sveta od papirnih dolara.
Ako posedujete svoje zlato na nekoj od aplikacija za trgovanje akcijama, moÅūete se kladiti da Äe vam ga drÅūava oduzeti ako joj zatreba. Äak i ako posedujete fiziÄko zlato, onda ga izlaÅūete moguÄnosti kraÄe â od strane kriminalca ili vaÅĄe vlade.
VaÅĄa uÅĄtedjevina nije bezbedna.
Rast cena svih gore navedenih sredstava zavisi od naÅĄeg trenutnog politiÄkog i ekonomskog sistema koji se nastavlja kao i tokom proteklih 100 godina. MeÄutim, danas vidimo ogromne pukotine u ovom sistemu.
Sistem ne funkcioniÅĄe dobro za veÄinu ljudi.
Od 1971. plate veÄine ameriÄkih radnika nisu rasle. S druge strane, bogatstvo koje imaju najbogatiji u druÅĄtvu nalazi se na nivoima koji nisu viÄeni viÅĄe od 80 godina. U meÄuvremenu, ljudi sve manje i manje veruju institucijama poput banaka i vlada.
CBPP Nejednakost Bogatstva Tokom Vremena
Å irom sveta moÅūemo videti dokaze o slamanju sistema kroz politiÄki ekstremizam: izbor Trampa i drugih ekstremistiÄkih desniÄarskih kandidata, Bregzit, pokret Occupy, popularizacija koncepta univerzalnog osnovnog dohotka, povratak pojma âsocijalizamâ nazad u modu. Ljudi na svim delovima politiÄkog i druÅĄtvenog spektra oseÄaju problematiÄna vremena i poseÅūu za sve radikalnijim reÅĄenjima.
Å ta je bolje za ÅĄtednju od dolara, kuÄa i akcija?
Pa kako ljudi mogu da ÅĄtede novac u ovim teÅĄkim vremenima? Ili ne koriste tradicionalne valute, ili kupuju sredstva koja Äe zadrÅūati vrednost u teÅĄkim vremenima.
Bitcoin ima najviÅĄe potencijala da zadrÅūi vrednost kroz politiÄka i ekonomska previranja od bilo koje druge imovine. Na tom putu Äe biti rupa na kojima Äe se ruÅĄiti ili pumpati, meÄutim, njegova svojstva Äine ga takvim da Äe verovatno preÅūiveti previranja kada druga imovina ne bude to mogla.
Å ta Bitcoin Äini drugaÄijim?
Bitcoini su retki.
Proces ârudarenjaâ bitcoin-a, proizvodnju bitcoin-a Äini veoma skupom, a Bitcoin protokol ograniÄava ukupan broj bitcoin-a na 21 milion novÄiÄa. To Äini Bitcoin imunim na nagle poraste ponude. Ovo se veoma razlikuje od tradicionalnih valuta, koje vlade mogu da ÅĄtampaju sve viÅĄe kad god one to poÅūele. Zapamtite, poveÄanje ponude vrÅĄi veliki pritisak na vrednost valute.
Bitcoini nemaju drugu ugovornu stranu.
Bitcoin se takoÄe razlikuje od imovine kao ÅĄto su obveznice, akcije i kuÄe, jer mu nedostaje druga ugovorna strana. Druge ugovorne strane su drugi subjekti ukljuÄeni u vrednost sredstva, koji to sredstvo mogu obezvrediti ili vam ga uzeti. Ako imate hipoteku na svojoj kuÄi, banka je druga ugovorna strana. Kada sledeÄi put doÄe do velikog finansijskog kraha, banka vam moÅūe oduzeti kuÄu. Kompanije su kvazi-ugovorne strane akcijama i obveznicama, jer mogu da poÄnu da donose loÅĄe odluke koje utiÄu na njihovu cenu akcija ili na âneizvrÅĄenjeâ duga (da ga ne vraÄaju vama ili drugim poveriocima). Bitcoin nema ovih problema.
Bitcoin je pristupaÄan.
Svako sa 5 eura i mobilnim telefonom moÅūe da kupi i poseduje mali deo bitcoin-a. VaÅūno je da znate da ne morate da kupite ceo bitcoin. Bitcoin-i su deljivi do 100-milionite jedinice, tako da moÅūete da kupite Bitcoin u vrednosti od samo nekoliko eura. Neuporedivo lakÅĄe nego kupovina kuÄe, zlata ili akcija!
Bitcoin se ne moÅūe konfiskovati.
Banke drÅūe veÄinu vaÅĄih eura, zlata i akcija za vas. VeÄina ljudi u razvijenom svetu veruje bankama, jer veÄina ljudi koji Åūive u danaÅĄnje vreme nikada nije doÅūivela konfiskaciju imovine ili âÅĄiÅĄanjeâ od strane banaka ili vlada. NaÅūalost, postoji presedan za konfiskaciju imovine Äak i u demokratskim zemljama sa snaÅūnom vladavinom prava.
Kada vlada konfiskuje imovinu, ona obiÄno ubedi javnost da Äe je menjati za imovinu jednake vrednosti. U SAD-u 1930-ih, vlada je davala dolare vlasnicima zlata. Vlada je znala da uvek moÅūe da odÅĄtampa joÅĄ viÅĄe dolara, ali da ne moÅūe da napravi viÅĄe zlata. Na Kipru 2012. godine, jedna propala banka je svojim klijentima dala deonice banke da pokrije dolare klijenata koje je banka trebala da ima. I dolari i deonice su strmoglavo opali u odnosu na imovinu koja je uzeta od ovih ljudi.
DoÄi do bitcoin-a koji ljudi poseduju, biÄe mnogo teÅūe jer se bitcoin-i mogu Äuvati u novÄaniku koji ne poseduje neka treÄa strana, a vi moÅūete Äak i da zapamtite privatne kljuÄeve do vaÅĄeg bitcoin-a u glavi.
Bitcoin je za ÅĄtednju.
Bitcoin se polako pokazuje kao najbolja opcija za dugoroÄnu ÅĄtednju novca, posebno s obzirom na danaÅĄnju ekonomsku klimu. Posedovanje Äak i malog dela, je polisa osiguranja koja se isplati ako svet i dalje nastavi da ludi. Cena Bitcoin-a u dolarima moÅūe divlje da varira u roku od godinu ili dve, ali tokom 3+ godine skoro svi vide sliÄne ili viÅĄe cene od trenutka kada su ga kupili. U stvari, doslovno niko nije izgubio novac ÄuvajuÄi Bitcoin duÅūe od 3,5 godine â Äak i ako je kupio BTC na apsolutnim vrhovima trÅūiÅĄta.
Imajte na umu da nakon ove taÄke ti ljudi viÅĄe nikada nisu videli rizik od gubitka. Cena se nikada nije smanjila niÅūe od najviÅĄe cene u prethodnom ciklusu.
Po Äemu se Bitcoin razlikuje od ostalih valuta?
Bitcoin funkcioniÅĄe tako dobro kao naÄin ÅĄtednje zbog svog neobiÄnog dizajna, koji ga Äini drugaÄijim od bilo kog drugog oblika novca koji je postojao pre njega. Bitcoin je digitalna valuta, prvi i verovatno jedini primer valute koja ima ograniÄenu ponudu dok radi na otvorenom, decentralizovanom sistemu. Vlade strogo kontroliÅĄu valute koje danas koristimo, poput dolara i eura, i proizvode ih za finansiranje ratova i dugova. Korisnici Bitcoin-a â poput vas â kontroliÅĄu Bitcoin protokol.
Evo ÅĄta Bitcoin razlikuje od dolara, eura i drugih valuta:
Bitcoin je otvoren sistem.
Svako moÅūe da odluÄi da se pridruÅūi Bitcoin mreÅūi i primeni pravila softverskog protokola, ÅĄto je dovelo do vrlo decentralizovanog sistema u kojem nijedan pojedinac ili entitet ne moÅūe da blokira transakciju, zamrzne sredstva ili da ukrade od druge osobe.DanaÅĄnji savremeni bankarski sistem se uveliko razlikuje. Nekoliko banaka je dobilo poverenje da gotovo sve valute, akcije i druge vredne predmete Äuvaju na âsigurnomâ za svoje klijente. Da biste postali banka, potrebni su vam milioni dolara i neverovatne koliÄine politiÄkog uticaja. Da biste pokrenuli Bitcoin Ävor i postali âsvoja bankaâ, potrebno vam je nekoliko stotina dolara i jedno slobodno popodne.
Tako izgleda Bitcoin Ävor â Node MyNode Ävor vam omoguÄava da postanete svoja banka za samo nekoliko minuta.
Bitcoin ima ograniÄenu ponudu.
Softverski protokol otvorenog koda koji upravlja Bitcoin sistemom ograniÄava broj novih bitcoin-a koji se mogu stvoriti tokom vremena, sa ograniÄenjem od ukupno 21.000.000 bitcoin-a. S druge strane, valute koje danas koristimo imaju neograniÄenu ponudu. Istorija i sadaÅĄnje odluke centralnih banaka govore nam da Äe vlade uvek ÅĄtampati sve viÅĄe i viÅĄe valuta, sve dok valuta ne bude bezvredna. Sve ovo ÅĄtampanje uzrokuje inflaciju, ÅĄto pravi ÅĄtetu obiÄnim radnim ljudima i ÅĄtediÅĄama.
Tradicionalne valute su dizajnirane tako da opadaju vremenom. Svaki put kada centralna banka kaÅūe da cilja odreÄenu stopu inflacije, oni ustvari kaÅūu da Åūele da vaÅĄ novac svake godine izgubi odreÄeni procenat svoje vrednosti.
Bitcoin-ova ograniÄena ponuda znaÄi da je on tako dizajniran da raste vremenom kako se potraÅūnja za njim poveÄava.
Bitcoin putuje oko sveta za nekoliko minuta.
Svako moÅūe da poÅĄalje bitcoin-e za nekoliko minuta ÅĄirom sveta, bez obzira na granice, banke i vlade. Potrebno je manje od minuta da se transakcija pojavi na novÄaniku primaoca i oko 60 minuta da se transakcija u potpunosti âobraÄunaâ, tako da primaoc moÅūe da bude siguran da su primljeni bitcoin-i sada njegovi (6 konfirmacija bloka). Slanje drugih valuta ÅĄirom sveta traje danima ili Äak mesecima ako se ÅĄalju milionski iznosi, a podrazumeva i visoke naknade.
Neke vlade i novinari tvrde da ova sloboda putovanja koju pruÅūa Bitcoin pomaÅūe kriminalcima i teroristima. MeÄutim, transakciju Bitcoin-a je lakÅĄe pratiti nego veÄinu transakcija u dolarima ili eurima.
Bitcoin se moÅūe Äuvati na âUSB-uâ.
Dizajn Bitcoin-a je takav da vam treba samo da Äuvate privatni kljuÄ do svojih âbitcoinâ adresa (poput lozinke do bankovnih raÄuna) da biste pristupili svojim bitcoin-ima odakle god poÅūelite. Ovaj privatni kljuÄ moÅūete da saÄuvate na disku ili na papiru u obliku 12 ili 24 reÄi na engleskom jeziku. Kao rezultat toga, moÅūete da drÅūite Bitcoin-e vredne milione dolara u svojoj ÅĄaci.
Sve ostale valute danas moÅūete ili da strpate u svoj duÅĄek ili da ih poverite banci na Äuvanje. Za veÄinu ljudi koji Åūive u razvijenom svetu, i koji ne osporavaju autoritet i poverenje u banku, ovo deluje sasvim dobro. MeÄutim, oni kojima je potrebno da pobegnu od ugnjetavaÄke vlade ili koji naljute pogreÅĄne ljude, ne mogu verovati bankama. Za njih je sposobnost da nose svoju uÅĄteÄevinu bez potrebe za ogromnim koferom neprocenjiva. Äak i ako ne Åūivite na mestu poput ovog, cena Bitcoin-a se i dalje poveÄava kada ih neko kome oni trebaju kupi.
Kako Bitcoin spaÅĄava svet?
Bitcoin, kao ultimativni naÄin ÅĄtednje, je cakum pakum, ali da li on pomaÅūe u poboljÅĄanju sveta u celini?
Kao ÅĄto Äete poÄeti da shvatate, ulazeÄi sve dublje i u druge sadrÅūaje na ovoj stranici, mnogi temeljni delovi naÅĄeg danaÅĄnjeg monetarnog sistema i ekonomije su duboko slomljeni. MeÄutim, oni koji upravljaju imaju korist od ovakvih sistema, pa se on verovatno neÄe promeniti bez revolucije ili mirnog svrgavanja od strane naroda. Bitcoin predstavlja novi sistem, sa nekoliko glavnih prednosti:
- Bitcoin popravlja novac, koji je milenijumima sluÅūio kao vaÅūan alat za rast i poboljÅĄanje druÅĄtva.
- Bitcoin vraÄa zdrav razum pozajmljivanju, uklanjanjem apsurdnih situacija poput negativnih kamatnih stopa (gde zajmitelj plaÄa da bi se zaduÅūio).
- Bitcoin pokreÄe ulaganja u obnovljive izvore energije i poboljÅĄava energetsku efikasnost u mreÅūi, sluÅūeÄi kao âkrajnji kupacâ za sve vrste energije.
Kako mogu da saznam viÅĄe o Bitcoin-u?

2025-05-28 17:01:45People forget Bear Stearns failed March 2008 - months of denial followed before the public realized how bad the situation was under the surface.
Similar happening now but much larger scale. They did not fix fundamental issues after 2008 - everything is more fragile.
The Fed preemptively bailed out every bank with their BTFP program and First Republic Bank still failed. The second largest bank failure in history.
There will be more failures. There will be more bailouts. Depositors will be "protected" by socializing losses across everyone.
Our President and mainstream financial pundits are currently pretending the banking crisis is over while most banks remain insolvent. There are going to be many more bank failures as this ponzi system unravels.
Unlike 2008, we have the ability to opt out of these broken and corrupt institutions by using bitcoin. Bitcoin held in self custody is unique in its lack of counterparty risk - you do not have to trust a bank or other centralized entity to hold it for you. Bitcoin is also incredibly difficult to change by design since it is not controlled by an individual, company, or government - the supply of dollars will inevitably be inflated to bailout these failing banks but bitcoin supply will remain unchanged. I do not need to convince you that bitcoin provides value - these next few years will convince millions.

â ODELL (@ODELL) December 14, 2022
Good morning.
It looks like PacWest will fail today. It will be both the fifth largest bank failure in US history and the sixth major bank to fail this year. It will likely get purchased by one of the big four banks in a government orchestrated sale. Â
March 8th - Silvergate Bank
March 10th - Silicon Valley Bank
March 12th - Signature Bank
March 19th - Credit Suisse
May 1st - First Republic Bank
May 4th - PacWest Bank?PacWest is the first of many small regional banks that will go under this year. Most will get bought by the big four in gov orchestrated sales. This has been the playbook since 2008. Follow the incentives. Massive consolidation across the banking industry. PacWest gonna be a drop in the bucket compared to what comes next.
First, a hastened government led bank consolidation, then a public/private partnership with the remaining large banks to launch a surveilled and controlled digital currency network. We will be told it is more convenient. We will be told it is safer. We will be told it will prevent future bank runs. All of that is marketing bullshit. The goal is greater control of money. The ability to choose how we spend it and how we save it. If you control the money - you control the people that use it.

2025-05-26 18:28:46Imagine a world where your favorite health and fitness appsâdiet trackers, meditation tools, cardio and strength training platforms, even therapy appsâcan all work together seamlessly. Not because they're owned by the same company, but because they speak a common, open language. That's the future NIP-101h is building on Nostr.
A Modular, Privacy-First Health Data Framework
NIP-101h defines a modular, privacy-first framework for sharing granular health and fitness metrics on the decentralized Nostr protocol. The core idea is simple but powerful: every health metric (weight, steps, calories, mood, and so on) gets its own unique Nostr event kind. Apps can implement only the metrics they care about, and users can choose exactly what to share, with whom, and how.
This modular approach means true interoperability. A meditation app can log mindfulness sessions, a running app can record your daily mileage, and a diet tracker can keep tabs on your nutritionâall using the same underlying standard. Each app remains independent, but your data becomes portable, composable, and, most importantly, under your control.
Why NIP-101h Matters
Interoperability
Today's health and fitness apps are walled gardens. Data is locked away in proprietary formats, making it hard to move, analyze, or combine. NIP-101h breaks down these barriers by providing a common, open standard for health metrics on Nostr. Apps can collaborate, users can migrate, and new services can emergeâwithout permission or lock-in.
User Control & Privacy
Health data is deeply personal. That's why NIP-101h is privacy-first: all metric values are encrypted by default using NIP-44, unless the user explicitly opts out. You decide what's public, what's private, and who gets access. Even if you want to keep everything local, that's supported too.
Extensibility
The world of health and fitness is always evolving. NIP-101h is designed to grow with it. New metrics can be added at any time via the

2025-05-28 17:01:44There must be a limit to how much data is transferred across the bitcoin network in order to keep the ability to run and use your own node accessible. A node is required to interact with the global bitcoin network - if you do not use your own node then you must trust someone else's node. If nodes become inaccessible to run then the network will centralize around the remaining entities that operate them - threatening the censorship resistance at the core of bitcoin's value prop. The bitcoin protocol uses three main mechanisms to keep node operation costs low - a fixed limit on the amount of data in each block, an automatic difficulty adjustment that regulates how many blocks are produced based on current mining hash rate, and a robust dynamic transaction fee market.
Bitcoin transaction fees limit network abuse by making usage expensive. There is a cost to every transaction, set by a dynamic free market based on demand for scarce block space. It is an incredibly robust way to prevent spam without relying on centralized entities that can be corrupted or pressured.
After the 2017 bitcoin fee spike we had six years of relative quiet to build tools that would be robust in a sustained high fee market. Fortunately our tools are significantly better now but many still need improvement. Most of the pain points we see today will be mitigated.
The reality is we were never going to be fully prepared - pressure is needed to show the pain points and provide strong incentives to mitigate them.
It will be incredibly interesting to watch how projects adapt under pressure. Optimistic we see great innovation here.

2025-05-28 17:01:44I often hear "bitcoin doesn't interest me, I'm not a finance person."
Ironically, the beauty of sound money is you don't have to be. In the current system you're expected to manage a diversified investment portfolio or pay someone to do it. Bitcoin will make that optional.
â ODELL (@ODELL) September 16, 2018
At first glance bitcoin often appears overwhelming to newcomers. It is incredibly easy to get bogged down in the details of how it works or different ways to use it. Enthusiasts, such as myself, often enjoy going down the deep rabbit hole of the potential of bitcoin, possible pitfalls and theoretical scenarios, power user techniques, and the developer ecosystem. If your first touch point with bitcoin is that type of content then it is only natural to be overwhelmed. While it is important that we have a thriving community of bitcoiners dedicated to these complicated tasks - the true beauty of bitcoin lies in its simplicity. Bitcoin is simply better money. It is the best money we have ever had.
Life is complicated. Life is hard. Life is full of responsibility and surprises. Bitcoin allows us to focus on our lives while relying on a money that is simple. A money that is not controlled by any individual, company, or government. A money that cannot be easily seized or blocked. A money that cannot be devalued at will by a handful of corrupt bureaucrat who live hundreds of miles from us. A money that can be easily saved and should increase in purchasing power over time without having to learn how to "build a diversified stock portfolio" or hire someone to do it for us.
Bitcoin enables all of us to focus on our lives - our friends and family - doing what we love with the short time we have on this earth. Time is scarce. Life is complicated. Bitcoin is the most simple aspect of our complicated lives. If we spend our scarce time working then we should be able to easily save that accrued value for future generations without watching the news or understanding complicated financial markets. Bitcoin makes this possible for anyone.
Yesterday was Mother's Day. Raising a human is complicated. It is hard, it requires immense personal responsibility, it requires critical thinking, but mothers figure it out, because it is worth it. Using and saving bitcoin is simple - Â simply install an app on your phone. Every mother can do it. Every person can do it.
Life is complicated. Life is beautiful. Bitcoin is simple.

Kako se bliÅūi treÄi mesec izostanka liÄnog dohotka na Fakultetu dramskih umetnosti u Beogradu, a dosadaÅĄnji vidovi podrÅĄke ne mogu da pokriju sve profesore, neophodno je da preduzmemo dalje korake kako ne bi viÅĄe ispaÅĄtali profesori zbog svoje otvorene podrÅĄke studentima u borbi za pravednije druÅĄtvo.
MoÅūda nekad, kad se spolja gleda, deluje kao da se niÅĄta ne deÅĄava na fakultetima ali u naÅĄoj zajednici konstantno vri. Borbu sa studentima oseÄamo kao svoju moralnu i graÄansku duÅūnost, a namera nam je da istrajemo na tom putu ka instuitucionalnoj odgovornosti, slobodi i pravdi.

Why did Elon buy twitter for $44 Billion? What value does he see in it besides the greater influence that undoubtedly comes with controlling one of the largest social platforms in the world? We do not need to speculate - he made his intentions incredibly clear in his first meeting with twitter employees after his takeover - WeChat of the West.
To those that do not appreciate freedom, the value prop is clear - WeChat is incredibly powerful and successful in China.
To those that do appreciate freedom, the concern is clear - WeChat has essentially become required to live in China, has surveillance and censorship integrated at its core, and if you are banned from the app your entire livelihood is at risk. Employment, housing, payments, travel, communication, and more become extremely difficult if WeChat censors determine you have acted out of line.
The blue check is the first step in Elon's plan to bring the chinese social credit score system to the west. Users who verify their identity are rewarded with more reach and better tools than those that do not. Verified users are the main product of Elon's twitter - an extensive database of individuals and complete control of the tools he will slowly get them to rely on - it is easier to monetize cattle than free men.
If you cannot resist the temptation of the blue check in its current form you have already lost - what comes next will be much darker. If you realize the need to resist - freedom tech provides us options.

2025-05-27 20:22:09A posiçÃĢo do libertÃĄrio que rejeita o cristianismo padece de sÃĐrias incoerÊncias lÃģgicas, histÃģricas e filosÃģficas. Ao renegar as bases espirituais e culturais que tornaram possÃvel o prÃģprio ideal libertÃĄrio, tal posiçÃĢo demonstra ser, ao mesmo tempo, autofÃĄgica e irracional. à o caso de alguÃĐm que se gloria dos frutos de uma ÃĄrvore que corta pela raiz.
I. Fundamento histÃģrico: a civilizaçÃĢo da liberdade ÃĐ cristÃĢ
NÃĢo foi o secularismo moderno, nem o paganismo antigo, que ergueram as instituiçÃĩes que protegem a dignidade da pessoa humana e os limites ao poder. Desde os primeiros sÃĐculos, a Igreja resistiu ao culto estatal romano, afirmando a soberania de Deus sobre os CÃĐsares â "Mais importa obedecer a Deus que aos homens" (Atos 5,29).
Foi o cristianismo que:
-
Fundou universidades livres, onde o saber era buscado sob o primado da verdade;
-
Defendeu a lei natural como fundamento do direito â uma doutrina que protege o indivÃduo contra tiranias;
-
Resgatou e aprofundou o conceito de pessoa, dotada de razÃĢo e livre-arbÃtrio, imagem de Deus, e, portanto, inalienavelmente digna e responsÃĄvel.
Em momentos-chave da histÃģria, como nas disputas entre papado e impÃĐrio, nas resistÊncias contra absolutismos, e na fundaçÃĢo do direito internacional por Francisco de Vitoria e a Escola de Salamanca, foi o cristianismo quem freou o poder estatal em nome de princÃpios superiores. A tradiçÃĢo cristÃĢ foi frequentemente o principal obstÃĄculo à tirania, nÃĢo seu aliado.
Negar isso ÃĐ amputar a prÃģpria genealogia da liberdade ocidental.
Uma das chaves do cristianismo para a construçÃĢo dessa civilizaçÃĢo da liberdade foi a exaltaçÃĢo do individualismo. Ao afirmar que o ser humano ÃĐ feito à imagem de Deus e que sua salvaçÃĢo ÃĐ uma escolha pessoal, o cristianismo colocou o indivÃduo no centro da moralidade e da liberdade. Diferente dos gregos, cuja ÃĐtica era voltada para a polis e a cidade-estado, o cristianismo reafirma a suprema importÃĒncia do indivÃduo, com sua capacidade de escolha moral, responsabilidade pessoal e dignidade intrÃnseca. Esse princÃpio, mais do que qualquer outra religiÃĢo, foi o alicerce do desenvolvimento da liberdade individual e da autonomia, valores que sustentam a civilizaçÃĢo ocidental.
A ÃĐtica grega, na melhor das hipÃģteses, descreve a ordem natural â mas nÃĢo consegue justificar por que essa ordem deveria obrigar a vontade humana. Um Logos impessoal nÃĢo tem autoridade moral. Uma ordem cÃģsmica sem um Legislador ÃĐ apenas um dado de fato, nÃĢo uma norma vinculante. A vontade pode rebelar-se contra o telos â e sem um Deus justo, que ordena a natureza à perfeiçÃĢo, nÃĢo hÃĄ razÃĢo Última para nÃĢo o fazer.
A cultura grega teve uma influÊncia indiscutÃvel sobre o desenvolvimento da civilizaçÃĢo ocidental, mas o cristianismo nÃĢo sÃģ absorveu o que havia de bom na cultura grega, como tambÃĐm elevou e completou esses aspectos. O cristianismo, ao afirmar que todos os homens sÃĢo feitos à imagem e semelhança de Deus e tÊm dignidade intrÃnseca, levou a uma noçÃĢo de igualdade moral e liberdade que transcende as limitaçÃĩes da pÃģlis grega.
II. Falsa dicotomia: fÃĐ e liberdade nÃĢo sÃĢo opostas
Com frequÊncia equiparam a religiÃĢo à coerçÃĢo e à obediÊncia cega. Mas isso ÃĐ um equÃvoco: o cristianismo nÃĢo se impÃĩe pela força, mas apela à consciÊncia. O prÃģprio Deus, em sua relaçÃĢo com a criatura racional, respeita sua liberdade. Como ensina a Escritura:
"Se alguÃĐm quiser vir apÃģs mim..." (Mt 16,24);
"Eis que estou à porta e bato. Se alguÃĐm ouvir a minha voz e abrir a porta, entrarei em sua casa e cearei com ele." (Ap 3,20);
"Assim falai, e assim procedei, como devendo ser julgados pela lei da liberdade." (Tiago 2,12).A adesÃĢo à fÃĐ deve ser livre, voluntÃĄria e racional, pois sem liberdade nÃĢo hÃĄ verdadeiro mÃĐrito, nem amor genuÃno. Isso ÃĐ mais compatÃvel com o princÃpio de nÃĢo agressÃĢo do que qualquer utopia secular. Ora, o nÚcleo do evangelho ÃĐ voluntarista: salvaçÃĢo pessoal, conversÃĢo interior, caridade.
NinguÃĐm deve ser forçado, contra sua vontade, a abraçar a fÃĐ, pois o ato de fÃĐ ÃĐ por sua natureza voluntÃĄrio (Dignitatis Humanae; CDC, cÃĒn. 748,2)
Se algum Estado usa da força para impor o cristianismo, afirmar que o cristianismo causou as coerçÃĩes ÃĐ tÃĢo equivocado quanto dizer que a propriedade privada causa o comunismo; ÃĐ uma inversÃĢo da realidade, pois o comunismo surge precisamente da violaçÃĢo da propriedade. Portanto, a fÃĐ forçada ÃĐ invÃĄlida em si mesma, pois viola a natureza do ato de crer, que deve ser livre.
III. Fundamento moral: sem transcendÊncia, o libertarianismo flutua no vÃĄcuo
O libertÃĄrio anticristÃĢo busca defender princÃpios objetivos â como a inviolabilidade do indivÃduo e a ilegitimidade da agressÃĢo â sem um fundamento transcendente que lhes dÊ validade universal. Por que a agressÃĢo ÃĐ errada? Por que alguÃĐm tem direito à vida, à liberdade, à propriedade? Sem uma explicaçÃĢo transcendental, as respostas para tais perguntas se tornam apenas opiniÃĩes ou convençÃĩes, nÃĢo obrigaçÃĩes morais vinculantes. Se a moralidade ÃĐ puramente humana, entÃĢo os direitos podem ser modificados ou ignorados conforme a vontade da sociedade. O conceito de direitos naturais, tÃĢo caro ao libertarianismo, precisa de um solo metafÃsico que justifique sua universalidade e imutabilidade. Caso contrÃĄrio, eles podem ser tratados apenas como acordos utilitÃĄrios temporÃĄrios ou preferÊncias culturais, sem qualquer obrigatoriedade para todos os seres humanos em todas as circunstÃĒncias.
Pensadores libertÃĄrios seculares, como Ayn Rand e Murray Rothbard, tentaram ancorar os direitos naturais na razÃĢo humana ou na natureza do homem. Rand baseia sua ÃĐtica no egoÃsmo racional, enquanto Rothbard apela à lei natural. Embora essas abordagens busquem objetividade, elas carecem de uma resposta definitiva para por que a razÃĢo ou a natureza humana obrigam moralmente todos os indivÃduos. Sem um fundamento transcendente, suas concepçÃĩes permanecem vulnerÃĄveis a interpretaçÃĩes subjetivas ou a cÃĄlculos utilitÃĄrios.
Aqui, o cristianismo oferece uma explicaçÃĢo sÃģlida e transcendental que fundamenta os direitos naturais. A visÃĢo cristÃĢ de que o ser humano foi criado à imagem e semelhança de Deus confere à pessoa uma dignidade intrÃnseca, imutÃĄvel e universal. Essa dignidade nÃĢo depende de fatores externos, como consenso social ou poder polÃtico, mas ÃĐ uma caracterÃstica inerente ao ser humano pela sua criaçÃĢo divina. A partir dessa perspectiva teolÃģgica, torna-se possÃvel afirmar com base sÃģlida que os direitos naturais sÃĢo dados por Deus e, portanto, sÃĢo universais e vinculantes.
O cristianismo tambÃĐm ÃĐ a base de um sistema moral que distingue claramente justiça de legalidade. O Estado pode criar leis, mas isso nÃĢo significa que essas leis sejam justas. A justiça, sob a Ãģtica cristÃĢ, ÃĐ uma expressÃĢo da ordem moral objetiva, algo que transcende as leis humanas e ÃĐ definido pela vontade divina. Por isso, o libertarianismo cristÃĢo vÊ a agressÃĢo como uma violaçÃĢo de uma ordem moral objetiva, e nÃĢo apenas uma violaçÃĢo de uma convençÃĢo social ou de um acordo utilitÃĄrio.
Se a moralidade e os direitos naturais nÃĢo forem fundamentados em um Logos criador e legislador, o que acontece ÃĐ que o conceito de direito natural degenera para algo mais frÃĄgil, como um simples acordo utilitÃĄrio. Nesse cenÃĄrio, os direitos do indivÃduo se tornam algo acordado entre os membros de uma sociedade, em vez de princÃpios imutÃĄveis e universais. Os direitos podem ser negociados, alterados ou ignorados conforme o interesse do momento.
IV. Fundamento cientÃfico: a racionalidade moderna ÃĐ filha da fÃĐ cristÃĢ
A ciÊncia moderna sÃģ foi possÃvel no contexto cultural cristÃĢo. Nenhuma outra civilizaçÃĢo â nem a grega, nem a islÃĒmica, nem a chinesa â produziu o mÃĐtodo cientÃfico como o Ocidente cristÃĢo o fez.
Isso se deve a quatro premissas teolÃģgicas:
-
CriaçÃĢo racional: O mundo ÃĐ ordenado por um Deus racional.
-
DistinçÃĢo entre Criador e criatura: A natureza nÃĢo ÃĐ divina e pode ser estudada sem sacrilÃĐgio.
-
Valor do trabalho e da observaçÃĢo empÃrica, herdado do monaquismo.
-
Autonomia institucional, presente nas universidades medievais.
A doutrina cristÃĢ da CriaçÃĢo ex nihilo ensina que o mundo foi criado por um Deus racional, sÃĄbio e pessoal. Portanto, o cosmos ÃĐ ordenado, possui leis, e pode ser compreendido pela razÃĢo humana â que ÃĐ imagem do Criador. Isso contrasta fortemente com as cosmovisÃĩes panteÃstas ou mitolÃģgicas, onde o mundo ÃĐ cÃclico, arbitrÃĄrio ou habitado por forças caprichosas.
Sem essa fÃĐ no Logos criador, nÃĢo hÃĄ razÃĢo para crer que a natureza tenha uma ordem inteligÃvel universal e constante, que pode ser descoberta por observaçÃĢo e deduçÃĢo. A ciÊncia moderna sÃģ ÃĐ possÃvel porque, antes de investigar a natureza, pressupÃīs-se que ela era investigÃĄvel â e isso foi uma herança direta do pensamento cristÃĢo.
Homens como Bacon, Newton, Kepler e Galileu viam na ciÊncia um modo de glorificar o Criador. O ateÃsmo cientificista ÃĐ, portanto, parasitÃĄrio da teologia cristÃĢ, pois toma seus frutos e rejeita suas raÃzes. A ciÊncia moderna nasceu como filha legÃtima da fÃĐ cristÃĢ. E os que hoje a usam contra sua mÃĢe, ou sÃĢo ingratos, ou ignorantes.
V. O cristianismo como barreira à revoluçÃĢo cultural
O cristianismo ÃĐ a barreira mais sÃģlida contra a infiltraçÃĢo revolucionÃĄria. A chamada "marcha gramsciana", que visa corroer os fundamentos morais da sociedade para subjugar o indivÃduo ao coletivo, encontra sua resistÊncia mais firme nos princÃpios cristÃĢos. A fÃĐ cristÃĢ, ao proclamar a existÊncia de uma verdade objetiva, de uma lei moral imutÃĄvel e de uma dignidade humana que transcende o Estado e o consenso social, imuniza a civilizaçÃĢo contra o relativismo e o igualitarismo nivelador do marxismo cultural.
AlÃĐm disso, o cristianismo ÃĐ uma tradiçÃĢo milenar, profundamente enraizada no cotidiano das pessoas, nÃĢo sendo uma novidade a ser imposta ou implementada, mas uma força presente hÃĄ sÃĐculos, que permeia a estrutura social, moral e cultural da sociedade. Sua presença constante nas comunidades, desde os tempos mais antigos, oferece uma resistÊncia robusta contra qualquer tentativa de subverter a ordem natural e moral estabelecida.
NÃĢo por acaso, tanto Karl Marx quanto Antonio Gramsci identificaram no cristianismo o principal obstÃĄculo à realizaçÃĢo de seus projetos revolucionÃĄrios. Marx chamou a religiÃĢo de "Ãģpio do povo" porque sabia que uma alma ancorada em Deus nÃĢo se submete facilmente ao poder terreno; Gramsci, mais sutil, propÃīs a destruiçÃĢo da cultura cristÃĢ como prÃĐ-condiçÃĢo para o triunfo do socialismo. Sem essa ÃĒncora transcendente, a sociedade torna-se presa fÃĄcil das engenharias sociais que pretendem redefinir arbitrariamente o homem, a famÃlia e a liberdade.
ConclusÃĢo
O libertÃĄrio anticristÃĢo, consciente ou nÃĢo, nega as fundaçÃĩes mesmas do edifÃcio que habita. Ao rejeitar o cristianismo, cava o abismo sob os prÃģprios pÃĐs, privando o ideal libertÃĄrio de sua base moral, cultural e racional. Ele defende a ÃĐtica voluntÃĄria, a liberdade individual e a ordem espontÃĒnea, mas sem o solo metafÃsico e histÃģrico que torna esses princÃpios inteligÃveis e possÃveis. à um erro tentar preservar a liberdade em termos absolutos sem reconhecer as raÃzes cristÃĢs que a sustentam, pois o cristianismo ÃĐ a Única tradiçÃĢo que a legitima e a viabiliza.
Negar o cristianismo ÃĐ racionalmente insustentÃĄvel. A liberdade, como a conhecemos, ÃĐ filha da fÃĐ cristÃĢ, que oferece a base moral e metafÃsica que torna a liberdade tanto desejÃĄvel quanto possÃvel. Mesmo que ateu, o libertÃĄrio que ama a liberdade deveria, no mÃnimo, respeitar â e, idealmente, redescobrir â essas raÃzes cristÃĢs. Pois sem fÃĐ, restam apenas o niilismo e o relativismo, que, eventualmente, desaguam na servidÃĢo.
Como nos ensina a tradiçÃĢo: Ubi fides ibi libertas â onde hÃĄ fÃĐ, hÃĄ liberdade.

2025-05-28 17:01:42For years American bitcoin miners have argued for more efficient and free energy markets. It benefits everyone if our energy infrastructure is as efficient and robust as possible. Unfortunately, broken incentives have led to increased regulation throughout the sector, incentivizing less efficient energy sources such as solar and wind at the detriment of more efficient alternatives.
The result has been less reliable energy infrastructure for all Americans and increased energy costs across the board. This naturally has a direct impact on bitcoin miners: increased energy costs make them less competitive globally.
Bitcoin mining represents a global energy market that does not require permission to participate. Anyone can plug a mining computer into power and internet to get paid the current dynamic market price for their work in bitcoin. Using cellphone or satellite internet, these mines can be located anywhere in the world, sourcing the cheapest power available.
Absent of regulation, bitcoin mining naturally incentivizes the build out of highly efficient and robust energy infrastructure. Unfortunately that world does not exist and burdensome regulations remain the biggest threat for US based mining businesses. Jurisdictional arbitrage gives miners the option of moving to a friendlier country but that naturally comes with its own costs.
Enter AI. With the rapid development and release of AI tools comes the requirement of running massive datacenters for their models. Major tech companies are scrambling to secure machines, rack space, and cheap energy to run full suites of AI enabled tools and services. The most valuable and powerful tech companies in America have stumbled into an accidental alliance with bitcoin miners: THE NEED FOR CHEAP AND RELIABLE ENERGY.
Our government is corrupt. Money talks. These companies will push for energy freedom and it will greatly benefit us all.

2025-05-27 18:08:04Muita gente, hoje em dia, acha que a leitura jÃĄ nÃĢo ÃĐ tÃĢo necessÃĄria quanto foi no passado. O rÃĄdio e a televisÃĢo acabaram assumindo as funçÃĩes que outrora pertenciam à mÃdia impressa, da mesma maneira que a fotografia assumiu as funçÃĩes que outrora pertenciam à pintura e à s artes grÃĄficas. Temos de reconhecer - ÃĐ verdade - que a televisÃĢo cumpre algumas dessas funçÃĩes muito bem; a comunicaçÃĢo visual dos telejornais, por exemplo, tem impacto enorme. A capacidade do rÃĄdio em transmitir informaçÃĩes enquanto estamos ocupados - dirigindo um carro, por exemplo - ÃĐ algo extraordinÃĄrio, alÃĐm de nos poupar muito tempo. No entanto, ÃĐ necessÃĄrio questionar se as comunicaçÃĩes modernas realmente aumentam o conhecimento sobre o mundo à nossa volta.
Talvez hoje saibamos mais sobre o mundo do que no passado. Dado que o conhecimento ÃĐ prÃĐ-requisito para o entendimento, trata-se de algo bom. Mas o conhecimento nÃĢo ÃĐ um prÃĐ-requisito tÃĢo importante ao entendimento quanto normalmente se supÃĩe. NÃĢo precisamos saber tudo sobre determinada coisa para que possamos entendÊ-la. Uma montanha de fatos pode provocar o efeito contrÃĄrio, isto ÃĐ, pode servir de obstÃĄculo ao entendimento. HÃĄ uma sensaçÃĢo, hoje em dia, de que temos acesso a muitos fatos, mas nÃĢo necessariamente ao entendimento desses fatos.
Uma das causas dessa situaçÃĢo ÃĐ que a prÃģpria mÃdia ÃĐ projetada para tornar o pensamento algo desnecessÃĄrio - embora, ÃĐ claro, isso seja apenas mera impressÃĢo. O ato de empacotar ideias e opiniÃĩes intelectuais ÃĐ uma atividade à qual algumas das mentes mais brilhantes se dedicam com grande diligÊncia. O telespectador, o ouvinte, o leitor de revistas - todos eles se defrontam com um amÃĄlgama de elementos complexos, desde discursos retÃģricos minuciosamente planejados atÃĐ dados estatÃsticos cuidadosamente selecionados, cujo objetivo ÃĐ facilitar o ato de "formar a opiniÃĢo" das pessoas com esforço e dificuldade mÃnimos. Por vezes, no entanto, o empacotamento ÃĐ feito de maneira tÃĢo eficiente, tÃĢo condensada, que o telespectador, o ouvinte ou o leitor nÃĢo conseguem formar sua opiniÃĢo. Em vez disso, a opiniÃĢo empacotada ÃĐ introjetada em sua mente mais ou menos como uma gravaçÃĢo ÃĐ inserida no aparelho de som. No momento apropriado, aperta-se o play e a opiniÃĢo ÃĐ "tocada". Eles reproduzem a opiniÃĢo sem terem pensado a respeito.

2025-05-28 17:01:41Humanity's Natural State Is Chaos
Without order there is chaos. Humans competing with each other for scarce resources naturally leads to conflict until one group achieves significant power and instates a "monopoly on violence."Power Brings Stability
Power has always been the key means to achieve stability in societies. Centralized power can be incredibly effective in addressing issues such as crime, poverty, and social unrest efficiently. Unfortunately this power is often abused and corrupted.Centralized Power Breeds Tyranny
Centralized power often leads to tyrannical rule. When a select few individuals hold control over a society, they tend to become corrupted. Centralized power structures often lack accountability and transparency, and rely too heavily on trust.Distributed Power Cultivates Freedom
New technology that empowers individuals provide us the ability to rebuild societies from the bottom up. Strong individuals that can defend and provide for themselves will help build strong local communities on a similar foundation. The result is power being distributed throughout society rather than held by a select few.In the short term, relying on trust and centralized power is an easy answer to mitigating chaos, but freedom tech tools provide us the ability to build on top of much stronger distributed foundations that provide stability while also cultivating individual freedom.
The solution starts with us. Empower yourself. Empower others. A grassroots freedom tech movement scaling one person at a time.

2025-05-26 15:01:04H100 Group AB, a Swedish publicly listed health technology company, has made the headlines after investing in bitcoin as part of a new financial strategy.
The move has caused a stir in Sweden and beyond, with H100âs stock price rising 40% after the announcement.
The company has bought 4.39 bitcoin for 5 million Norwegian Krone (around $475,000â$492,000).
This is the companyâs first foray into the digital asset space and makes H100 Group the first publicly-listed health tech company in Sweden to hold bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset.
The bitcoin was bought at an average price of 1,138,737 NOK (around $108,000) per coin.
The bitcoin purchase is part of H100 Groupâs new âBitcoin Treasury Strategyâ to diversify its financial assets and strengthen its balance sheet. Instead of holding idle cash, the company decided to invest in what it sees as a long-term asset.
âThis addition to H100âs Bitcoin Treasury Strategy follows an increasing number of tech-oriented growth companies holding bitcoin on their balance sheet,â said CEO Sander Andersen.
âAnd I believe the values of individual sovereignty highly present in the Bitcoin community aligns well with, and will appeal to, the customers and communities we are building the H100 platform for.â
Andersen said they will âbuild and holdâ bitcoin long-term, viewing it as a savings tool, not a short-term trade.
The market reacted fast. On May 22, the companyâs stock went up 39.27%, seeing highs of 1.620 SEK on the Nordic Growth Market.
This helped the company to recover a big part of the losses from the last two months, during which the stock fell 46%.
And now, after the purchase, the firmâs market cap is around $150.46 million.
H100 has said this might not be the only purchase. The company has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to set up a convertible loan facility of up to 10 million SEK with an undisclosed investor.
H100 Groupâs announcement â Source
The funds will be used for general corporate purposes and to potentially increase bitcoin holdings. The loan will have a 3-year term and can be converted into shares at 1.3 SEK per share.
If H100âs stock price is more than 33% above the conversion price for more than 60 days, H100 will have the right to force conversion.
The company also announced today that it has successfully raised 21 million SEK ($2.21 million) through a convertible round led by Blockstream founder and CEO Adam Back.
Despite the Bitcoin pivot, H100 Group has made it clear that the core business remains the same.
They will continue to develop AI-powered automation tools and digital platforms to help healthcare providers deliver better services, especially in the health and longevity space.
Andersen said they are committed to healthy living, and adopting a bitcoin strategy is a smarter financial move that aligns with their values.
H100âs move comes as corporate adoption of bitcoin accelerates globally.
According to BitcoinTreasuries over 109 public companies now list bitcoin on their balance sheets. Among those are companies like Twenty One Capital, Strive and Metaplanet.

2025-05-28 17:01:40Contribute to keep No Bullshit Bitcoin news going.
- The latest firmware updates for COLDCARD devices introduce two major features: COLDCARD Co-sign (CCC) and Key Teleport between two COLDCARD Q devices using QR codes and/or NFC with a website.
What's new
- COLDCARD Co-Sign: When CCC is enabled, a second seed called the Spending Policy Key (Key C) is added to the device. This seed works with the device's Main Seed and one or more additional XPUBs (Backup Keys) to form 2-of-N multisig wallets.
- The spending policy functions like a hardware security module (HSM), enforcing rules such as magnitude and velocity limits, address whitelisting, and 2FA authentication to protect funds while maintaining flexibility and control, and is enforced each time the Spending Policy Key is used for signing.
- When spending conditions are met, the COLDCARD signs the partially signed bitcoin transaction (PSBT) with the Main Seed and Spending Policy Key for fund access. Once configured, the Spending Policy Key is required to view or change the policy, and violations are denied without explanation.
"You can override the spending policy at any time by signing with either a Backup Key and the Main Seed or two Backup Keys, depending on the number of keys (N) in the multisig."
-
A step-by-step guide for setting up CCC is available here.
-
Key Teleport for Q devices allows users to securely transfer sensitive data such as seed phrases (words, xprv), secure notes and passwords, and PSBTs for multisig. It uses QR codes or NFC, along with a helper website, to ensure reliable transmission, keeping your sensitive data protected throughout the process.
- For more technical details, see the protocol spec.
"After you sign a multisig PSBT, you have option to âKey Teleportâ the PSBT file to any one of the other signers in the wallet. We already have a shared pubkey with them, so the process is simple and does not require any action on their part in advance. Plus, starting in this firmware release, COLDCARD can finalize multisig transactions, so the last signer can publish the signed transaction via PushTX (NFC tap) to get it on the blockchain directly."
- Multisig transactions are finalized when sufficiently signed. It streamlines the use of PushTX with multisig wallets.
- Signing artifacts re-export to various media. Users are now provided with the capability to export signing products, like transactions or PSBTs, to alternative media rather than the original source. For example, if a PSBT is received through a QR code, it can be signed and saved onto an SD card if needed.
- Multisig export files are signed now. Public keys are encoded as P2PKH address for all multisg signature exports. Learn more about it here.
- NFC export usability upgrade: NFC keeps exporting until CANCEL/X is pressed.
- Added Bitcoin Safe option to Export Wallet.
- 10% performance improvement in USB upload speed for large files.
- Q: Always choose the biggest possible display size for QR.
Fixes
- Do not allow change Main PIN to same value already used as Trick PIN, even if Trick PIN is hidden.
- Fix stuck progress bar under
Receiving...
after a USB communications failure. - Showing derivation path in Address Explorer for root key (m) showed double slash (//).
- Can restore developer backup with custom password other than 12 words format.
- Virtual Disk auto mode ignores already signed PSBTs (with â-signedâ in file name).
- Virtual Disk auto mode stuck on âReadingâĶâ screen sometimes.
- Finalization of foreign inputs from partial signatures. Thanks Christian Uebber!
- Temporary seed from COLDCARD backup failed to load stored multisig wallets.
Destroy Seed
also removes all Trick PINs from SE2.Lock Down Seed
requires pressing confirm key (4) to execute.- Q only: Only BBQr is allowed to export Coldcard, Core, and pretty descriptor.

- 5 Razloga ZaÅĄto je Novac VaÅūan za Vas, Individualno
- 3 Razloga ZaÅĄto je Novac VaÅūan za DruÅĄtvo u Celini
- ZaÅĄto ljudi mrze novac?
Novac vs trenuci â da li oni treba da budu u sukobu? Kakva je uloga novca?
Novac je nepredvidiva zver modernog druÅĄtva â neki ga veliÄaju sa stalnom Åūeljom da steknu viÅĄe, dok ga drugi demonizuju i kaÅūu da je pohlepa srÅū druÅĄtvenih problema. Tokom mnogih godina svog Åūivota, ja sam Äesto prelazio sa jednog na drugo glediÅĄte, i nauÄio mnogo toga upoznajuÄi druge ljude koji Åūive na oba kraja ovog spektra. Kao i kod mnogih sloÅūenih tema, istina leÅūi negde u sredini.
Novac je vaÅūan zato ÅĄto on moÅūe da pomogne u uklanjanju materijalnih Åūelja i patnji â omoguÄavanjem da preuzmete kontrolu nad svojim Åūivotom i da brinete o voljenima. Novac podiÅūe Åūivotni standard druÅĄtva omoguÄavanjem trgovine, a pritom minimalizuje potrebu za poverenjem.
Na novac moÅūemo gledati kao na naÄin da svoj uloÅūeni trud saÄuvamo u odredjenom obliku, i da ga vremenom prenesemo, tako da moÅūemo da uÅūivamo u plodovima svog rada. Novac kao alat je jedna od najvaÅūnijih stvari za rast civilizacije. Na nesreÄu, mnogi su vremenom zlostavljali novac, ali sa dobrim razlogom: naÄin na koji naÅĄ novac danas funkcioniÅĄe dovodi do duboko podeljenog druÅĄtva â ÅĄto Äu i objasniti.
5 Razloga ZaÅĄto je Novac VaÅūan za Vas, Individualno
Novac je vaÅūan za rast bogatstva, ÅĄto je malo drugaÄije od toga da imamo veliku platu ili jednostavno zaraÄivati velike koliÄine novca. Bogatstvo je otklanjanje Åūelja, kako bi mogli da obratimo viÅĄe paÅūnje na neke korisnije stvari u Åūivotu, od pukog preÅūivljavanja i osnovnih udobnosti.
Bogata osoba je ona koja zaradi viÅĄe novca nego ÅĄto potroÅĄi, i koja ga Äuva â ona Äuva svoj rad tokom vremena. Uporedite ovo sa visoko plaÄenim lekarom koji Åūivi u velikoj vili sa hipotekom i sa Mercedesom na lizing. Iako ova osoba ima visoke prihode, ona takoÄe ima velike rashode u vidu obaveze plaÄanja te hipoteke i lizinga. Te obaveze spreÄavaju ovu osobu da uÅūiva u istinskim blagodetima novca i bogatstva koje one predstavljaju:
1. Sloboda od potrebe za radom
Bez bogatstva, vi morate da radite da biste preÅūiveli. Dostizanjem bogatstva i odredjenom imovinom koja vam donosi novac bez potrebe da vi troÅĄite svoje vreme, vi moÅūete da oslobodite svoj raspored. ViÅĄe ne zavisite od posla koji mrzite, i nemorate da provodite 40 sati nedeljno odvojeni od porodice, samo da biste se pobrinuli za svoje osnovne potrebe. Dobijanje otkaza u padu ekonomije neÄe vas dovesti do finansijske propasti ili neÄeg goreg.
2. Kontrola nad time kako vi troÅĄite svoje vreme
Kada steknete bogatstvo, vi moÅūete da odluÄite kako Åūelite da provodite svoje vreme. Kada se nalazimo u trci pacova i radimo 40+ sati nedeljno, Äesto se naviknemo da novac troÅĄimo onda kada imamo slobodnog vremena. Idemo na lepe veÄere ili idemo na skupe odmore. MeÄutim, sa viÅĄe vremena, a moÅūda Äak i sa manje novca, mi moÅūemo da imamo isto ili viÅĄe uÅūivanja ÅūiveÄi usporenije.
Razmislite o ovome â ukoliko imate samo 1 nedelju slobodno od posla, vi onda morate da kupite onaj mnogo skuplji let u Petak uveÄe koji se vraÄa u sledeÄu Nedelju, kako biste maksimalno iskoristili svoje vreme na nekom egzotiÄnom mestu za odmor. MeÄutim, ukoliko ste u moguÄnosti da izdrÅūavate sebe bez potrebe da mnogo vremena provodite na poslu, vi onda moÅūete u Utorak da krenete jeftinijim letom i vratite se u sledeÄu Sredu. TakoÄe neÄete oseÄati toliki pritisak da se opustite u uÅūivanju tokom vaÅĄe nedelje u inostranstvu â moÅūda Äete Äak moÄi i da ostanete duÅūe i da istraÅūujete viÅĄe, bez plaÄanja skupih turistiÄkih agencija i hotela kako bi organizovali vaÅĄe kraÄe putovanje.
3. Sposobnost da pomaÅūete vaÅĄim prijateljima i porodici
Onda kada novca imate na pretek, moÅūete poboljÅĄati svoje odnose sa prijateljima i porodicom ne samo kroz dodatno slobodno vreme koje provodite sa njima, veÄ i sa samim novcem. Ako je vaÅĄem prijatelju potrebna hitna operacija, vi moÅūete da mu izadjete u susret i pomognete mu da stane na svoje noge. Ukoliko vam je tetka bolesna, vi moÅūete da provedete vreme pored nje, umesto da je pozovete na kratko dok putujete prema kuÄi vraÄajuÄi se nakon celog dana provedenog u kancelariji.
4. Smanjen finansijski stres
Stres je sveobuhvatno i opasno stanje modernog doba, sa kojim gotovo svi mi Åūivimo u nekoj odredjenoj meri. Povezan je sa loÅĄim zdravljem, sa preko 43% svih odraslih koji kaÅūu da pate od odredjenih zdravstvenih problema uzrokovanih stresom. Stres zbog posla pogaÄa 83% zaposlenih.
Pravo bogatstvo â koje znaÄi eliminaciju Åūelja i potreba â moÅūe da ukloni ovaj stres i njegove negativne uticaje na druge delove Åūivota. Ovo bi Äak moglo da ukloni veÄinu stresa u vaÅĄem Åūivotu, uzimajuÄi u obzir da je uzrok stresa broj 1 upravo novac.
5. Bolje moÅūete da pomognete vaÅĄoj zajednici
Mnogi od nas Åūele da volontiraju u svojim zajednicama i pomognu onima koja je pomoÄ preko potrebna, ali nisu u stanju da pronaÄu slobodnog vremena i energije zbog svog posla, porodice i druÅĄtvenih aktivnosti koje nas mentalno i fiziÄki Äine sreÄnima, zdravima i hranjenima. Sa bogatstvom, mi moÅūemo da posvetimo vreme koje nam je potrebno za razumevanje i doprinos drugima â a ne samo da sa vremena na vreme pomognemo slanjem humanitarnog SMS-a.
Novac, koji se pametno koristi, je moÄno sredstvo za poboljÅĄanje vaÅĄeg Åūivota i Åūivota vaÅĄih najmilijih i zajednice. MeÄutim, novac je takoÄe moÄno sredstvo za poboljÅĄanje druÅĄtva u celini â ukoliko je dobro strukturiran.
3 Razloga ZaÅĄto je Novac VaÅūan za DruÅĄtvo u Celini
Novac poboljÅĄava sposobnost ljudi da trguju jedni s drugima, ÅĄto podstiÄe odreÄene specijalizacije. Ako je imanje vaÅĄeg komÅĄije odliÄno za proizvodnju vina, a vaÅĄe je pogodno za Åūito, obojica moÅūete da profitirate trgovinom. Sad oboje imate i hleb i vino, umesto jednog pijanog vlasnika vinograda i jednog proizvodjaÄa Åūita kome je dosadno!
Novac poboljÅĄava druÅĄtvo na nekoliko naÄina:
1. OmoguÄava specijalizaciju
Kao u primeru vlasnika vinograda i proizvodjaÄa Åūita, novac omoguÄava poveÄanu specijalizaciju poboljÅĄavajuÄi sposobnost trgovine. Svaka razmena dobara ima problem sa âsticajima potrebaâ â oba partnera u trgovini moraju da Åūele ono ÅĄto druga osoba ima da bi pristala na trgovinu.
MoÅūemo da mislimo o novcu kao o dobru koje Åūele gotovo svi. Ovo trgovinu Äini mnogo jednostavnijom â da biste stekli odredjeno dobro, sve ÅĄto vam je potrebno je novac, a ne neka sluÄajna stvar koju prodavac tog dobra takoÄe Åūeli u tom trenutku. Vremenom je upotreba novca omoguÄila specijalizaciju, ÅĄto je poveÄalo kvalitet i sloÅūenost roba i usluga.
Zamislite da sami pokuÅĄate da napravite svoj telefon â a bili su potrebni milioni struÄnjaka i specijalizovana oprema da bi proizveli taj ureÄaj. Svi ti struÄnjaci i kompanije plaÄaju jedni drugima u novcu, omoguÄavajuÄi sloÅūenom plesu globalnih proizvoÄaÄa i lanaca snabdevanja da taj telefon isporuÄe na dlan vaÅĄe ruke. Äak i neÅĄto tako jednostavno kao flaÅĄa za vodu ukljuÄuje naftna polja i proizvodne pogone koji su moÅūda hiljadama kilometara od vaÅĄe kuÄe.
Kada ljudi mogu da se specijalizuju, kvalitet robe i usluga moÅūe da se poveÄa.
2. OmoguÄava korisnu trgovinu uz smanjeno poverenje
Mala druÅĄtva mogu mirno i produktivno da posluju bez novca koristeÄi usluge, âdodjem tiâ i uzajamno razumevanje. MeÄutim, kako se druÅĄtva uveÄavaju, svima brzo postaje nemoguÄe da odrÅūavaju liÄne odnose i isti stepen poverenja sa svima ostalima. Sistem trgovine uslugama i meÄusobnog poverenja ne funkcioniÅĄe previÅĄe dobro sa putnikom koji se nalazi na proputovanju kroz grad, i provede samo 15 minuta svog Åūivota u vaÅĄoj prodavnici.
Novac minimizira poverenje potrebno za trgovinu u veÄim druÅĄtvima. Sada viÅĄe ne moram da verujem da Äete mi pomoÄi kasnije kada mi zatreba â mogu samo da prihvatim uplatu od vas i da to koristim da bih sebi pomogao kasnije. Jedan od mojih omiljenih mislilaca, Nick Szabo, ovo naziva âdruÅĄtvena prilagodljivostâ.
3. Smanjuje upotrebu sile
Kada druÅĄtvo teÅūi upotrebi odreÄenog oblika novca za olakÅĄavanje trgovine, moÅūe u velikoj meri da smanji nasilje u tom druÅĄtvu. Kako to moÅūe biti tako? Zar ljudi ne bi i dalje Åūeleli da kradu jedni od drugih ili da se svete?
Ukoliko razmiÅĄljamo van uobiÄajnih okvira, moÅūemo da poÄnemo da razumemo kako novac moÅūe da smanji nasilje. Ako ti i ja Åūivimo u susednim zemljama i Åūelimo neÅĄto ÅĄto druga zemlja ima, imamo dva naÄina da to dobijemo: uzimanjem na silu ili menjanjem neÄeg naÅĄeg za to. Kao ÅĄto je ranije reÄeno, novac znatno olakÅĄava trgovinu â pa Äemo postojanjem zajedniÄkog monetarnog sistema verovatnije radje izvrÅĄiti trgovinu nego napad na zemlju. ZaÅĄto bismo rizikovali svoje Åūivote kad moÅūemo samo mirno da trgujemo jedni sa drugima?
ZaÅĄto ljudi mrze novac?
Pa ako novac ima toliko koristi za nas liÄno i za druÅĄtvo u celini, zaÅĄto toliko ljudi mrzi novac? ZaÅĄto je demonizovan, zajedno sa onima koji ga imaju puno?
Za deo ovoga moÅūe biti okrivljen problem u jednakosti moguÄnosti â to da je nekima teÅūe da izadju iz nemaÅĄtine i postanu bogati. Bez sumnje, neki mali deo potiÄe od ljudi koji jednostavno ne Åūele da se trude ili preduzmu neophodne rizike da bi postali bogati.
MeÄutim, oba ova problema imaju viÅĄe veze sa problemima kako naÅĄ novac danas funkcioniÅĄe, nego sa bilo kojim problemom u samom konceptu novca. NovÄani sistem treba da nagraÄuje ljude koji proizvode vredne stvari i trguju njima sa drugima. Verujem da veÄina ljudi danas misli da novac tako funkcioniÅĄe, i to ne bi smelo da bude daleko od istine.
NaÅĄ trenutni monetarni sistem, na Åūalost, nagraÄuje âfinansijalizacijuâ â pretvarajuÄi sve u imovinu, Äija vrednost moÅūe da se napumpava ili spuÅĄta stvaranjem dobre priÄe i navoÄenjem drugih da veruju u nju. Razuzdani dug pogonjen stalnim omalovaÅūavanjem svih glavnih valuta dodat je ovom blatu finansijalizacije. Sada je isplativije podiÄi ogroman kredit i koristiti ga za brzo okretanje imovine radi zarade nego izgraditi posao koji druÅĄtvu nudi korisne robe i usluge.
Tradicionalni monetarni sistem dodatno nagradjuje predatore, partnere u zloÄinu i neradnike.
Propast naÅĄeg novca razvila se tokom proteklih pola veka, poÄevÅĄi od toga kada su naÅĄe valute postale niÅĄta viÅĄe od parÄeta papira, podrÅūanog sa verom i kreditima naÅĄih vlada. Da biste bolje razumeli ovu promenu, pogledajte moj post o svrsi i istoriji novca.
Ako vam se sviÄa moj rad, molim vas da ga podelite sa svojim prijateljima i porodicom. Cilj mi je da svima pruÅūim pogled u ekonomiju i na to kako ona utiÄe na njihov Åūivot.

Djuri submitted quite some pull requests in the last couple of week while he was implementing a Nostr connect / login on https://satsback.com. The backend of that platform is written in PHP so the Nostr-PHP library is used for several purposes while Djuri also developed quite some new features utilizing the following NIPs:
- NIP-04
- NIP-05
- NIP-17
- NIP-44
Thank you very much Djuri for these contributions. We now can do the basic private stuff with the library.Â

Nostr-PHP documentation
While new NIPs are implemented in the Nostr-PHP library, I'm trying to keep up with the documentation at https://nostr-php.dev. For now, things are still much work in progress and I've added the AI agent Goose using the Claude LLM to bootstrap new documentation pages. Currently I'm working on documentation for
- How to direct messages with NIP-04 and NIP-17
- Encrypted payloads for event content NIP-44
- Fetch profiledata of a given pubkey
- Lookup NIP-05 data of given pubkey
- Using the NIP-19 helper class
CCNS.news
I've moved CCNS to a new domain https://ccns.news and have partly implemented the new NIP-B0 for web bookmarks. When you post a bookmark there, a kind
39701
event is transmitted to some Nostr relays (take a look at this event for example). Optionally you can also publish this content as a note to the network.As you can see at https://ccns.news/l/censorship-resistant-publishing-and-archiving, I've listed some todo's. All this stuff is done with Javascript using the NDK Typescript library (so I'm not using any PHP stuff for this with Nostr-PHP).
Also new: https://ccns.news/global now has a global feed which fetches all the web bookmark events with kind
39701
from several public Nostr relays. I had a rough idea to compare feeds generated with NDK and Nostr-PHP (for both using the same set of relays).Building a njump clone for this Drupal website
You can now use this URL pattern to fetch Nostr events:
https://nostrver.se/e/{event_id|nevent1|note1|addr1}
where you can provide a plain Nostr event ID or NIP-19 encoded identifier.ÂAn example, this URL [nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqmjxss3dld622uu8q25gywum9qtg4w4cv4064jmg20xsac2aam5nqqsqm2lz4ru6wlydzpulgs8m60ylp4vufwsg55whlqgua6a93vp2y4g3uu9lr) fetches the data from one or more relays. This data is then being saved as a (Drupal) node entity (in a database on the server where this website is hosted, which is located in my office fyi). With this saved node, this data is now also available at https://nostrver.se/e/0dabe2a8f9a77c8d1079f440fbd3c9f0d59c4ba08a51d7f811ceeba58b02a255/1 where the (cached) data is server from the database instead. It's just raw data for now, nothing special about it. One of my next steps is to style this in a more prettier interface and I will need to switch the theme of this website to a custom theme. A custom theme where I will be using TailwindCSS v4 and DaisyUI v5.Â
The module which is providing these Nostr features is FOSS and uses the Nostr-PHP library for doing the following:
- Request the event from one or more relays
- Decode the provided NIP-19 identifier
For now this module is way for me to utilize the Nostr-PHP library with Drupal for fetching events. This can be automated so in theory I could index all the Nostr events. But this is not my ambition as it would require quite some hardware resources to accomplish this.Â
I hope I can find the time to build up a new theme first for this website, so I can start styling the data for the fetched events. On this website, there is also a small piece (powered by another module) you can find at https://nostrver.se/nostrides doing things with this NIP-113 around activity events (in my case that's cycling what interests me).What's next
I'm already working on the following stuff:
- Implement a class to setup a persistent connection to a relay for requesting events continuously
- Extend the documentation with the recent added features
Other todo stuff:
- Review NIP-13 proof-of-work PR from Djuri
- Implement a NIP-65 lookup for fetching read and write relays for a given npub issue #91
- Build a proof-of-concept with revolt/event-loop to request events asynchronous with persistent relay connections
- Add comments to https://ccns.news

2025-05-26 12:42:46Zahlreiche Anzeichen deuten darauf hin, dass die Zeit zu Ende geht, in der Europa, vor allem Deutschland, unter den schÞtzenden FlÞgeln des US-Adlers bleiben kann. Die europÃĪischen KÞken sind noch nicht flÞgge, werden aber jetzt aus dem wohligen Nest geworfen und in die Freiheit entlassen. Ãngstlich schlagen sie mit den FlÞgeln, doch das Fliegen will nicht so recht gelingen.
Angstbenommenheit, Inkompetenz und blinder Aktionismus erzeugen so staatsmÃĪnnisch klingende SprÞche wie die, dass Deutschland zur stÃĪrksten Kraft in Europa werden soll. Hieran erkennt man die pubertÃĪre Unreife, weil es kein Bewusstsein dafÞr gibt, was diese Aussage im Ausland unter UmstÃĪnden bewirken kann. Man kann sich vorstellen, dass so etwas vor allem in der BevÃķlkerung des jahrelangen Erzfeindes Frankreich ein ungutes GefÞhl erwecken kÃķnnte.
Ebenso bei den Briten, die mÃķglicherweise ebenfalls nicht vor lauter Begeisterung vollends aus dem HÃĪuschen sein werden.
Die USA und Russland beobachten sehr genau, was in Deutschland vorgeht, wobei die Aussage des zukÞnftigen Ex-Bundeskanzlers in Russland mÃķglicherweise nur ein sÞffisantes LÃĪcheln erzeugt, so, wie wenn ein Yorkshire-Terrier einen Bull-Dog anklÃĪffen wÞrde.
Deutschland scheint nicht den geringsten Schimmer davon zu haben, mit wem es sich anlegt.
Wenn fÞr die Russen der "unschÃķne Besuch" der Deutschen in Russland mit rund 27 Millionen Toten an Bedeutung verloren hÃĪtte, wÞrden die Paraden zum Sieg Þber den Faschismus nicht nach wie vor so groà gefeiert werden. Wenn die deutschen Regierungsverantwortlichen wenigstens Þber emphatische FÃĪhigkeiten verfÞgen wÞrden, wÃĪren sie in der Lage, sich in die Emotionen der russischen Seele einzufÞhlen. Und die SauerlÃĪnder sind wohl eher nicht fÞr ihre warme Herzlichkeit bekannt, sondern eher fÞr ihre Sturheit.
Vorbei die Zeiten, in denen es um den Wandel durch AnnÃĪherung ging, und man den Eindruck hatte, von Politikern mit Charakter- und Herzensbildung geleitet zu werden. Das waren auch alles keine Heiligen, aber man hatte zumindest den Eindruck, sie bemÞhten sich um die Mehrung des Wohles fÞr Deutschland.
Mit den richtigen Leuten an der richtigen Stelle bÃķte die derzeitige VerÃĪnderung der KrÃĪfteverhÃĪltnisse die einmalige Chance, dass Deutschland endlich seiner schon lange fÃĪlligen Aufgabe nachkÃĪme, nÃĪmlich dem geistig gemeinten Spruch âAm deutschen Wesen soll die Welt genesenâ in die lebendige Tat umzusetzen. Es heiÃt nicht: An deutschen Waffen oder an deutscher KriegstÞchtigkeit soll Europa, soll die Welt genesen, sondern am deutschen WESEN!!!
Was macht dieses Wesen, wie es geistig gemeint ist, aus?
Deutschland blickt auf eine lange Geschichte von Denkern und Dichtern zurÞck. Was hat das deutsche Wesen fÞr Komponisten hervorgebracht, welche geistige BlÞtezeit erlebte Deutschland in der Romantik? In der deutschen Kultur wird gut und gerne gedacht, man hat Freude am Nachdenken, am AustÞfteln, am Erfinden. Das eigentliche Kapital der deutschen Kultur ist das DenkvermÃķgen und der Verstand, sofern er sich frei entfalten kann, erst lange danach kommt die Bewertung des wirtschaftlichen Erfolges, der nur die Folge davon ist. Effiziente, hochmoderne Waffen herzustellen, ist eine Verirrung dieses DenkvermÃķgens.
Die geografischen VerhÃĪltnisse lassen sich mit keinem Krieg verÃĪndern. Die USA bleiben da, wo sie sind, Russland im Osten auch, Frankreich im Westen ebenso.
Die USA haben eine vollkommen andere Grenzsituation, als z. B. Russland. Die USA grenzen im Norden an Kanada, im SÞden an Mexico, im Osten und im Westen sind sie durch den Ozean abgegrenzt. Russland ist das flÃĪchengrÃķÃte Land der Erde mit einer Festland- GrenzlÃĪnge von rund 22.000 Kilometern. Das schafft ein komplett anderes, legitimes SchutzbedÞrfnis.
Deutschland liegt sowohl geographisch, als auch wirtschaftlich (noch, mehr oder weniger) im Zentrum Europas. Diese Lage mit den USA im Westen und Russland im Osten drÃĪngt Deutschland schon rein geographisch in die Situation, eigentlich der Vermittler zwischen dem Westen und dem Osten zu sein, statt sich auf eine Seite von beiden zu stellen. Dazu wÞrde ein einvernehmliches, eintrÃĪgliches Auskommen mit beiden Seiten gehÃķren.
Um diese Aufgabe wahrzunehmen, wÃĪre es die klÞgste, derzeit fÞr die agierenden âGeistesgrÃķÃenâ aber leider unmÃķglich zu denkende Entscheidung, die Gelegenheit zu ergreifen, statt kriegstÞchtig werden zu wollen, endlich wirklich friedensfÃĪhig zu werden, in dem, wie gesagt, fÞr die derzeitigen âKapazitÃĪtenâ absurd klingend, Deutschland sofort mit  massiven NeutralitÃĪtsbestrebungen beginnen mÞsste, also vor allem zunÃĪchst einmal raus aus der NATO. Sofortiges Einstellen von Waffenlieferungen und deren Komponenten ins Ausland.
Mit der Schweiz und Ãsterreich gibt es bereits den Ansatz der NeutralitÃĪt im deutschsprachigen Kulturraum, dem Deutschland, wenn es sich anschlÃķsse, einen gewaltigen Auftrieb geben wÞrde. Das wÃĪre zu Ende gedacht, die Umsetzung der derzeit hohlen Phrase: Von deutschem Boden soll nur noch Frieden ausgehen. Frieden durch Krieg herstellen zu wollen, ist paradox. Und Frieden durch NeutralitÃĪt ist auch viel billiger, als AufrÞstung zur Kriegsverhinderung.  Man stelle sich vor, welche Entlastung die Entscheidung fÞr NeutralitÃĪt in den Anrainerstaaten, in ganz Europa und der Welt auslÃķsen wÞrde. Es wÞrde eine immense Entspannung eintreten. Im Idealfall sogar Nachahmer finden. Was wÃĪre das fÞr ein Signal! Was menschlich und wirtschaftlich ins Stocken geraten ist, kÃķnnte wieder ins FlieÃen kommen. Stattdessen soll verhindert werden, dass die Nordstream Pipeline wieder in Betrieb genommen wird. Das ist pathologischer Wirtschafts-Suizid.
Die Skeptiker mÃķgen GrÞnde vorlegen, warum Russland oder sonst wer auf die Idee kommen sollte, ein neutrales Land angreifen zu wollen.
Druck erzeugt Gegendruck! Diesen Druck aufzubauen, liegt vor allem in der immer noch primitiven Veranlagung des Menschen, besonders ausgeprÃĪgt bei MÃĪnnern. Wer hat den âLÃĪngerenâ, und wer ihn nicht hat, der gibt stattdessen mit dem dicksten Auto an. Im Þbertragenen Sinne passiert das genauso in der Politik. Und Krieg ist Politik mit anderen Mitteln. Phallisch anmutende Raketen sind der ÃĪuÃere Ausdruck von vor allem testosterongesteuertem, spÃĪtpubertÃĪrem Imponiergehabe, und das ist dringend zu Þberwinden! Die Entwicklung der Menschheit kÃķnnte so einen groÃen Schritt nach vorne machen.
Man stelle sich vor, welche beruhigende, friedfertige Ausstrahlung vom deutschsprachigen Kulturraum ausgehen wÞrde, wenn diese NeutralitÃĪt gelebt wÞrde.
Derzeit ist es aber eher so, dass z. B. von Scott Ritter, der lange in Deutschland war und das deutsche Wesen kennt, die Aussage kommt, dass er Deutschland in seinem Streben nach Frieden nie wirklich getraut hat, und jetzt hÃĪtte sich bestÃĪtigt, dass er richtig gelegen hat. Die Stationierung einer Brigade in Litauen ist pure Provokation und vollkommen Gaga.
Deutschland ist schon sehr weit auf dem Holzweg vorangeschritten und reitet sich immer tiefer in den Sumpf. Das Dilemma ist, dass weder in den Alt-Parteien, noch in der Opposition ein Bewusstsein dafÞr vorhanden ist, was wirklich zu tun wÃĪre.
Deutschland braucht keine erstarkte Bundeswehr (weil testosterongesteuert), sondern eine Truppe von Menschen, die sich friedensbildenden MaÃnahmen verschrieben hat und diese zum Wohle Deutschlands und den irren ZustÃĪnden in der ganzen Welt unter allen UmstÃĪnden umsetzen will.
Auf die Deutschen, die sagen, âIch allein kann ja sowieso nichts ÃĪndernâ, kann man nicht zÃĪhlen, weil sie sich ihrer Macht gar nicht bewusst sind, wenn sie in der Lage wÃĪren zu erfassen, wie viele genau dasselbe sagen.
Der Impuls muss von denjenigen ausgehen, die sich nicht mehr beweisen mÞssen, was fÞr tolle Hechte sie sind, die nicht mit ihren dicken, doofen Karren und mit ihrem Haus, ihrem Pool und sonst noch was den Frauen beweisen mÞssen, wie potent sie noch sind.
Und auch von den Frauen, die nicht wollen, dass sie sich Sorgen um ihre MÃĪnner, SÃķhne, BrÞder machen wollen, ob sie im besten Fall aus dem Krieg mit amputierten GliedmaÃen, traumatisiert oder gar nicht mehr nach Hause kommen. Inklusive der Omas gegen rechts vor links, die einmal bei einem StÞck Sahnetorte und einem koffeinfreien Kaffee, verlÃĪngert mit heiÃem Wasser (mein Herz!), darÞber nachdenken sollten, ob sie ihre geliebten Enkel wirklich fÞr eine menschenfeindliche, kriegerische Ideologie verheizen lassen wollen.
Das ist ein Appell an die vielen verirrten Seelen an den Schalthebeln: Denkt bitte einmal darÞber nach, ob es wirklich sinnvoll ist, mit rheinmetallischen Waffen abschrecken zu wollen, oder ob es nicht vielleicht menschenwesensgerechter wÃĪre, durch wirklich umsetzbare, an der LebensrealitÃĪt gemessenen friedensbildenden MaÃnahmen den Dampf aus dem Kessel zu nehmen. WÞrdet ihr nÃĪmlich darÞber ernsthaft nachdenken, wÞrde euch ganz schnell klar werden, dass eure Strategie, eure sogenannten FriedensvorschlÃĪge, eure Vorstellungen nicht mit der RealitÃĪt vereinbar sind.

"Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. Â A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world." - Eric Hughes, A Cypherpunk's Manifesto, 1993
Privacy is essential to freedom. Without privacy, individuals are unable to make choices free from surveillance and control. Lack of privacy leads to loss of autonomy. When individuals are constantly monitored it limits our ability to express ourselves and take risks. Any decisions we make can result in negative repercussions from those who surveil us. Without the freedom to make choices, individuals cannot truly be free.
Freedom is essential to acquiring and preserving wealth. When individuals are not free to make choices, restrictions and limitations prevent us from economic opportunities. If we are somehow able to acquire wealth in such an environment, lack of freedom can result in direct asset seizure by governments or other malicious entities. At scale, when freedom is compromised, it leads to widespread economic stagnation and poverty. Protecting freedom is essential to economic prosperity.
The connection between privacy, freedom, and wealth is critical. Without privacy, individuals lose the freedom to make choices free from surveillance and control. While lack of freedom prevents individuals from pursuing economic opportunities and makes wealth preservation nearly impossible. No Privacy? No Freedom. No Freedom? No Wealth.
Rights are not granted. They are taken and defended. Rights are often misunderstood as permission to do something by those holding power. However, if someone can give you something, they can inherently take it from you at will. People throughout history have necessarily fought for basic rights, including privacy and freedom. These rights were not given by those in power, but rather demanded and won through struggle. Even after these rights are won, they must be continually defended to ensure that they are not taken away. Rights are not granted - they are earned through struggle and defended through sacrifice.

- Bitcoin mining centralization in 2025. According to a blog post by b10c, Bitcoin mining was at its most decentralized in May 2017, with another favorable period from 2019 to 2022. However, starting in 2023, mining has become increasingly centralized, particularly due to the influence of large pools like Foundry and the use of proxy pooling by entities such as AntPool.

2025-05-27 13:06:38Because we are not merely addicted to #Narrativium: It is our drive, imbued into our very essence. And it is so much easier to absorb our daily dose from the billions of trickles provided by everyone else as a substitute drug #Gossipium, or temporarily saturate our unquenchable thirst by just giving in to the temptation by the incessable stream of Movies and Series providing #Fictionium than it is to find a properly satisfying Source Of Narrativium (acronymize that ð), let alone create our own Narrativium that might even be worthy of sharing. And yet, there is so much more fulfilment possible by letting one's creativity work instead of merely using a "share" button - which briefly seems to trick the human brain into believing that one has actually participated in providing one's peers with proper Narrativium, possibly as part of an implicit social contract: "I give you all some Narrativium I found, now give me more in return". It is such a trivial action to take, even more effortless than gossiping. But let's be honest, it often just feels hollow. And even when we write something, it is again tempting to just create #Rantium instead of something actually useful.

Originally I merely wanted to post a witty quote from https://wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/Narrativium about Narrativium on Facebook:
"Humans add narrativium to their world. They insist on interpreting the universe as if it's telling a story. This leads them to focus on facts that fit the story, while ignoring those that don't." - T. Pratchett, I. Steward, J. Cohen, The Science of Discworld I
Maybe even subtly allude to how that might explain quite a lot about the everyday insanity that seems to surround us, especially these days.
"We are not Homo sapiens, Wise Man. We are the third chimpanzee. [...] We are Pan narrans, the storytelling ape. [...] if you understand the power of story, and learn to detect abuses of it, you might actually deserve the appellation Homo sapiens." - T. Pratchett, I. Steward, J. Cohen, The Science of Discworld II
Really. I was just going to quote a bit and go on about my day with some meaningless procrastination. Why already bother with housework when I can delay that until tomorrow or the day after and just watch some series in the Arrowverse now? But after ten minutes of a Legends of Tomorrow episode called "Lucha de Apuestas", curiosity got the better of me. What is it with Luchadores and their masks, I mockingly wondered. So I read Wikipedia on it. Lots of culture, history and, most importantly to me, Narrativium. I probably couldn't care less for to guys bumping fists on a stage, I don't really care about watching any sports either. But there's a certain fascination to stories, isn't there? So I felt like sharing about Narrativium, and here we are.

That's it for now, I might keep writing on this. One day. Just as I keep continuing writing everything else I start. Not. Well, motivate me.
