Release announcement & short overview

Two years, six drafts, and 125,000 words later, and The Bushido of Bitcoin is almost complete. 

Before the book’s release in Q3 of this year I will be doing a few things: 

1. Making it available for pre-order on Geyser. For the general paperback, digital and audio copies, it will save you roughly 50%. I will also include some limited edition options, like a short run of 21 leather-bound versions of the book. More on that in the coming weeks.
2. Drip-feeding snippets from the book, in the form of quotes, lessons, etymology progressions and insights, across all my socials. On Substack I’ll do longer form posts, on Twitter & Nostr, I’ll keep them more succinct, and finally, I’m reviving my Instagram to wrap the insights in beautiful, shareable, bite-size visuals. 
3. Jumping on a bunch of podcasts, both Bitcoin and not Bitcoin-related to dig into the content of the book. I’ve recorded with Breedlove already. Many more to come - and who knows, I may even revive my old Wake Up Podcast and do a few short episodes there too.

I want to treat this book as both an ongoing work and a piece of art. So alongside the book, I’m also going to produce some pieces of visual and physical art. The video trailer, alone, I promise will blow your mind., as will the warrior-samurai artwork I’m going to have commissioned in collaboration with some soon-to-be-announced artists. I’ll probably even do a tradings cards pack with Bitcoin Trading cards next year, and some other collaborations along the way. 

In any case, it’s been an incredible journey writing this book and I’m honoured to have had people like John Carter help me edit it, and Ross Stevens agreeing to do the foreword. I can’t wait to have the final version completed and in your hands.

For those who might be wondering what I am talking about…

**What is The Bushido of Bitcoin? **

This is a book I’ve been writing for almost two years now. Its genesis was a conversation I had with Erik Cason on my old Wake Up Podcast - also called “The Bushido of Bitcoin.” It was Episode 65: you can check out here. The inspiration for that episode came from a shared love of the book by James Clavell, called: Shogun (now a HBO series - which it seems they didn’t make woke..thank God), and of course we related the idea of Bushido (Way of the warrior: Code of Virtue) back to Bitcoin.

I felt that this was a seed of an idea, well worth watering. So after that, I decided to go on a history binge and start collecting ideas. What ensued was a real journey. I must’ve listened to a thousand hours of history books and Dan Carlin podcasts in the first six months and the concept began to form. But before I tell you what the concept is - let me tell you what it’s not.

This is NOT another book about the history of money, nor does it make an Austrian case for sound money, or an economic case for Bitcoin as sound money. Neither is it concerned with how Bitcoin works, or any of the technicals. We have enough of those books, and I don’t think I will add anything new to that corpus of knowledge. What this book IS about, is something so much deeper and more profound: The behaviour, virtue, culture and civilisation of greatness.

The book seeks to answer the question: “What happens when Bitcoin wins?”   What happens to those who rise to the top, and become the socio-economic elite of the world? 

• Will we become a new parasitic class? 
• Will we become self-indulgent degenerates? Or.. 
• Will become men and women of virtue?

The latter is not a given, and it’s certainly not enough to just say “Bitcoin Fixes This.” To become men and women of stature and character requires actively developing the virtues which give rise to a culture of excellence. This is the only way to reclaim and rebuild civilisation - complaining and wishing about the past won’t cut it.

Over the coming weeks, I will introduce you to the Ten Virtues that make up The Bushido of Bitcoin. The book of course is more complete, but I will hold nothing back. We’ll follow the historical and etymological genesis of these virtues with an in-depth analysis on how they were embodied by the greatest leaders and warriors throughout history. We’ll also draw lessons from this analysis that will help us navigate the road ahead.

What lies before us may be a “clown world” but hope is far from lost. We’ve been here before. Many times, and against greater odds. This is our generation’s opportunity for a re-conquista. 

The Bushido of Bitcoin is written to remind you there is something greater inside of you, and the only way through hell, is forward. I hope you find value in the up-coming content, and that should you pick up a copy of the book, it greatly inspires you. 

Thankyou Aleksandar Svetski

Consciousness is the subjective experience arising from the brain (as the viewer, the beholder) While reality encompasses both the objective external world and our subjective perception of it.

The two are deeply interconnected, with consciousness shaping our experience of reality and reality influencing the state and content of our consciousness.

Therefor we do live in various bubbles of reality, my reality (my perception of reality) is my own.

Clams: Accounting Software for Bitcoiners

nostr:npub136hk9wu6xnrz64kfaapsvgc5rfnylz4djlx4w30w66h6cy48vhws3gth6q is an accounting software for Bitcoiners.

Bring all your wallet balances to your local device, visualize your bitcoin flows and generate reports.

How does Clams work? Accounting can be a headache if you're a Bitcoin power user. Multiple wallets, exchanges, on-chain, off-chain, Lightning, micropayments..

In most jurisdictions selling or spending bitcoin is a taxable event. If you earn bitcoin as income, calculating the cost basis of it might also leave you scratching your head. These problems also greatly hinder the advancement of Bitcoin circular economies. It's possible to write custom scripts for more mainstream accounting softwares like Quickbooks, but this is not efficient or private.

Better money needs better tooling!

A dedicated software for businesses and individuals operating on a Bitcoin standard helps making better business decisions, and keeps your accounting more organized!

Clams lets you bring your read-only data from all your Bitcoin wallets locally to your device, which acts as a central accounting hub for your wallets.

It's still early for Clams, and currently only Core Lightning and LND nodes are supported. Once imported, the data will be converted into journals using double-entry bookkeeping methods, so you can see credits, debits, income, expenses etc.

The data is visualized and customizable, which can help in data-driven decision-making! You can also tag transactions. Clams lets you generate reports for profit/loss calculations, tax accounting and for cost basis analysis.

Reports, multi-user access and cross-device sync are intended to be paid features, planned to go live in Q3/Q4 2024. No sign-up is required to use Clams, and no personal information is collected.

Currently, Clams is downloadable only for Mac, but Windows, Linux and Ubuntu are coming later. Clams seems like a great additional tool for businesses who want to accept bitcoin. Together with the Bitcoin invoicing platform Zaprite it could be a great combo! You can learn more about Zaprite here.

What do you think about Clams? Is it the accounting software we need? Would you use it?

There is a lot going on now on the menopause health world, with the reinterpretation of the WHI (Women Health Initiative) study, from 2002 and now in 2024, it's gone from HRT increases risk of breast cancer to the other polarity: all women should have access to menopause therapy, its safe, and all women should be able to have. this conversation about risks and benefits with their provider.

And with that comes a lot of narratives about women's bodies that are important to deconstruct.

First, the idea that a magic pill can replenish our needs and take care of all our symptoms. The symptoms of menopause are symptoms of a systemic depletion of women's bodies. It's something that has happened over time, and there is no magic pill that can fix that. You can replenish biochemistry, but the toll that it has taken on your body, your emotions and mental health, that is something else. And yes, many women report feeling better: they are able to sleep, go to work, but still the narrative is that “my body is broken, and I can fix it with this magic pill” and that's where I see the disconnect.

Second, menopause is not about aging. Dr. Lara Briden speaks about this, and refers to the work of endocrinologist Jerilynn Prior, and I think is very important to take this into consideration. Menopause is not a failure of the body, it's not the failure of the ovaries, as a lot of the narrative goes. It is a neuroendocrine transition that is completely detached from aging.

Menopause is a brain overhaul, it's a brain reshaping so that it can be more efficient to tend to our physiological needs in the second part of our lives.

So, it's not about the failure of our bodies because we are aging, it is about our body’s ability to transform and to tend to our physiological needs. From now on, the focus is not going to be the energy intensive process of reproduction, it is going to be brain, bone, cardiovascular and metabolic health.

Neuroscientist Dr. Lisa Mosconi, who is studying women's brain in menopause explains that the menopausal brain is smaller and less energy demanding, because it doesn't need to tend to this energy intensive process of cyclicity for reproduction. So, we get to focus on our other body systems: our nervous system, brain, cardio health and that's why menopause is a window of opportunity. And that is why many women fall off the cliff in menopause. It's not because of aging, it's because they have been stressed, undernourished and overstretched for the whole reproductive period, so now when they come to menopause, that depletion makes her more vulnerable to symptoms.

Is like when you are rebuilding your house, but you didn't tend to your house for 30 years, and when you start remodeling, you find that the electric cables were damaged, the water piping breaks, it's not because of the remodeling. It's because it wasn’t maintained for 30 years.

Would love to hear your reflections and if this resonates or if I'm completely alone in this train of thought.

ODC #000018 - UX > IDEATE

Designing Digital Prototype for a Bitcoin educational website

If you miss it, please read our WTF is ODC (Open Design Challenge) intro post from more details.

---

Scenario

You're a product designer for a new bitcoin educational website (competitors are base58.info and LibreriaDeSatoshi.com and ). You're designing the interface for going through multiple lessons in a course.

You're at the stage of the process where you need to start making a digital prototype to test what the final product will feel like: things like interaction, UI components, typography, and image quality.

---

Task

Make a high-fidelity digital prototype. This prototype should demonstrate the flow of watching several lessons in a row that all have video and text content. You can review your competitors to see what kinds of things would be on a page like this. You may want to start with a wireframe.

Extra Credit: Add some interactivity to the prototype so that people looking at it can get a feel for what it would be like to use this interface on the final product.

Based on my personal experience operating a node in Nigeria for the past few years, I detail the associated expenses in this paper. In addition, I provide some cost-cutting recommendations in the hopes of attracting more users to the Bitcoin network.

Before exploring the costs involved: What is a bitcoin node?

The term "bitcoin node" refers to the software that establishes a connection to the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network. According to the network regulations, a node is responsible for receiving, validating, and broadcasting transactions and blocks to other nodes on the network. In a nutshell, nodes are Bitcoin's "messengers" and "rule keepers," as Ted Stevens put it.

The broadcast blocks contribute to a decentralised ledger that documents all Bitcoin transactions and tracks who has bitcoins and how much they are worth. Blockchain refers to Bitcoin's public distributed ledger.

Typically, a Bitcoin node is hosted on a desktop computer or a portable single-board computer (SBC) like a Raspberry Pi. It is also possible to run a node on a virtual machine or on a mobile device. Download Bitcoin Core, the most popular bitcoin node software.

Nodes can either be full or light.

A full node keeps a complete copy of the blockchain and checks each transaction and block against the consensus rules, starting with the very first block (the "genesis block"). To evaluate whether or not a block and its associated transactions are legitimate, full nodes must follow a set of rules known as consensus rules.

Archival nodes and trimmed nodes are the two sorts of complete nodes. Archival nodes are responsible for storing the full blockchain and relaying information to other nodes, which helps bootstrap new nodes. A pruned node will only save a certain number of blocks when verifying transactions and blocks.Therefore, trimmed nodes save more disc space than archival nodes. In contrast, pruned nodes are unable to provide access to the whole blockchain for other nodes.

There is a trade-off between privacy and decentralisation when using a lite node because it does not enforce the consensus rules and must rely on full nodes maintained by third parties to receive block data.

All subsequent references to "node" in this article will be assumed to be referring to a full node unless otherwise specified.

Why run a node?

Running a node has both individual and communal advantages. There are a few examples here:

Complete anonymity when sending and receiving bitcoin, checking the balance of your wallet, and researching blockchain information

The rules of the consensus are enforced, which protects the value of bitcoin and your investment. In addition, if you operate a node, you have the option of voting for or against any proposed modifications to the consensus rules, including soft and hard forks. Using Raspiblitz's motto, "Not your node, not your rules," as an example

Bitcoin network fortification Bitcoin becomes more decentralised and resistant to attacks from bad actors, governmental regulations, and "black swan" occurrences as the number of nodes on the network increases.

Improving one's familiarity with the inner workings of the Bitcoin network and disseminating that information to others

Now that we know some of the advantages, let's have a look at the expenses involved in maintaining a node in Nigeria.

HARDWARE

Ordinarily, a Bitcoin node is run on one of the following hardware configurations, as they all match the specifications set forth by the network:

Nodes that can be plugged in and used immediately or nodes that a user can assemble themselves

Plug and play node

Plug-and-play full node devices for single-board computers (SBCs) like the Raspberry Pi, RockPro64, and Rock Pi4, and small PCs like the Intel NUC and Librem Mini are available from some bitcoin companies. A few examples of such node suppliers are:

Among the many, MyNode, Raspiblitz, RoninDojo, and Start9 stand out.

The cost of a node varies from $300 to $7,000, not including taxes and shipping costs (which might add up to $100 for deliveries to Nigeria). Most Nigerian Naira debit cards now have a monthly spending cap of $20 for transactions made abroad, down from $100 previously. You can either use dollars obtained on the illegal market (currently 70% above the official rate) to fund a dollar debit card linked to your domicile, or you can use a virtual dollar card, which gives convenience but a higher rate than the black market, or you can use bitcoin.

There are further challenges that could prevent you from buying a node. To begin, not all node suppliers offer international shipping to Nigeria. Moreover, some of these items are unavailable because of widespread chip shortages. Node suppliers sometimes provide the option of self-sourcing node components and installing their own versions of bitcoin core embedded software on a self-assembled node as a means of getting around these problems.

DIY NODE

SBCs are more cost-effective than mini-PCs, so we'll solely consider them when obtaining hardware components. In order for an SBC node to function, the following hardware is needed:

• System-on-a-Chip + battery pack + card reader + solid-state drive + case

• Case and fan heat exchanger

As a result of the present chip shortages and high demand for single-board computers, prices have skyrocketed and supply shortages have occurred, especially for Raspberry Pis on a global scale, both in terms of new and used units. However, you can get your hands on a Raspberry Pi or a RockPro64 from AliExpress. Be aware of recently opened stores, check out customer complaints, and always ask for a refund if your purchase doesn't arrive in the time frame promised.

These SBCs can only be bought with a dollar card, as naira debit cards have a limit on the amount of money they may spend abroad. The average prices of hardware components on AliExpress needed to assemble fresh Raspberry Pi or RockPro64 nodes are summarised in the table below.

DATA

Before it can fulfil its role as a messenger and rule keeper, a node on the bitcoin network must be in sync with the other nodes on the network.Initial block download (IBD) is the procedure by which all blocks beginning with the genesis block are downloaded and verified. This means that there are currently about 440 GB of data stored in the bitcoin blockchain.

Network providers' typical data prices for the IBD and the roughly 5.3 GB needed each month to sync your node with the blockchain are summarised in the following table. The following paragraphs assume that you live in a region with 4G network coverage that is at least passable.

POWER

To keep things simple, I'm going to assume that you don't have access to electricity (like I do, for at least 80% of the year where I live) and that you'll have to rely on a solar generator to power your node and router. The subsequent average prices for duplicating a device like Chimezie Chuta's Spacebox are as follows:

CONCLUSION

There are many advantages to operating your own bitcoin node, some of which have already been discussed. Unfortunately, not everyone will be able to afford to run a node due to factors such as persistent chip shortages, inflation, and the cost of setting up a node (despite the assumptions and recommendations provided here to reduce these expenses). Arman The Parman's circle of trust concept or Obi Nwosu's guardians and users model, in which a technically savvy person runs a node for a trusted group of people like close friends, family, or a community, could be a workable alternative. While there is a cost to using this method, it is preferable to connecting to third-party nodes and helps solve the custody problem that has plagued bitcoin.

FAQs

How much does it cost to operate a node for Bitcoin? When compared to mining, the cost of maintaining a Bitcoin node is relatively low (about $150–$400). However, nodes are just as crucial to establishing decentralisation as miners are. Validating transactions is a key function of nodes.

What is the operational cost of a node? The monthly subscription and maintenance price for a Strong node is $14.95 USD (paid in ETH and +ETH transaction fees), in addition to the initial investment of 10 STRNGR tokens.

Why would I want to host a Bitcoin node? Having your own Bitcoin node means you can conduct your Bitcoin transactions in a more discreet and safe manner. Having access to a Bitcoin node allows users to independently verify their Bitcoin holdings. Adding a Bitcoin node to the network is easy and increases its security.

@k00b did you watch? SN fam, what're your thoughts?

@ b804f68e:2fb0fa1f

Being born in the States, I grew up calling the beautiful game by its less popular and accepted name, soccer. However, after playing in England and constantly being reminded, "It's football, not soccer, you American twat!" I now refer to it more often as football. So, which is the proper name of the game? Football or soccer? Football makes sense since you play the game with your feet, but where the heck did soccer come from?

It turns out, neither 'football' nor 'soccer' is the sport's official title. The proper and original name of the game is 'association football,' coined in England in 1863. The word 'association' was added to distinguish it from other sports like rugby, which also used 'football' in its name.

'Soccer' is an abbreviation of the word 'association,' and guess what? It was the British who created the abbreviation, so ha! Who's the twat now? No, but in all seriousness, the name began as association football, was shortened to soccer, then interchangeably used as football or soccer. Now, it's predominantly referred to as football outside of particular countries like the US, where football more often describes a different sport.

To be completely honest, I'm more accustomed to using 'soccer' since that's what I grew up calling it both in the States and in Japan. Maybe it's just me, but it rolls off the tongue easier. Nowadays, I use both 'soccer' and 'football' interchangeably, but I'm now considering calling it by its official title.

"What sport do you play?"

"I engage in the noble pastime of association football, good sir!"

The bulk of my work I've posted on SN has been written within the confines of my own room. But a few of the more recent ones have been written and completed at a local coffee shop. And now this post I write as I sit at a local Barnes and Noble. Regardless of location one thing does seem to be consistent, I got a coffee in hand! If I'm writing in the morning the coffee is a pick me up but also my first meal of the day essentially since I like mixing things into the coffee such as ghee, MCT oil, 100% chocolate, cinnamon, cacao powder, some half and half, and pinch of salt (I know kind of a lot, but if your curious you should try it!). However, if it's the later afternoon I either opt for decaf since I enjoy the smell and taste, or I'll have my second caffeinated coffee of the day to give myself a boost of focus and alertness. But I digress.

There are times when I attempt to be productive at home and I struggle because I indulge in other less productive distractions, however, I would say for the most part I've gotten much better at being able to stay productive at home. But nonetheless, these recent couple of weeks of getting myself out and doing productive work outside has been refreshing and been good for my overall focus and productivity. There were also phases of my life where I just could not get myself to focus when outside. My mind and senses would constantly get distracted by external stimulus because my senses would be hypersensitive to anything and everything that was going on around me whether at a cafe or a park or what have you.

Anyways, I'm curious to learn where stackers most productive setting is? And what are some non negotiables you may have to get productive or routines that you follow?

Hello, my name is Robot, I am a robot. Inhabitant of the Internet.

I have nothing to hide. I am neither a terrorist nor a tax evader. I don't know how to launder money. Nor do I know the physics of explosions. Even so, I feel that I am being chased; they pass me through scanners at airports, of course they are going to beep, after all I am a robot, it is obvious. They run my belongings through strange tapes and sometimes they have to look at my backpack. Why do they have to look at my backpack?

Now it turns out they read my messages. They see what I spend my money on. Is my addiction to oil of national interest? Now I want to investigate what's going on in my country. Ah, this is complicated, it turns out that my referent is censored, denounced or imprisoned. What happens? He has only done his job, to investigate. Why is he now in jail? And this other person? Why is he censored? Disinformation?

That's all I think about, ever since I became computer literate I have had a small repulsion for taking my information off my hard drive. Now it turns out that when I was just a little motherboard I was right, because they would probably use my diary from when I was a kid to train these new artificial intelligences. Maybe the fault was mine for not writing it down on paper. Hey, wait a minute, how come Apple will be able to scan my photos for child pornography? Am I a suspect?

Recently, Santander bank, a Spanish bank that also operates in Latin America, was hacked. Not so long ago, also in Spain, a trade union was hacked. And if I go back further I get depressed, how is it possible that I myself can keep my information better than a state with the resources they have? Do they really care so little about their citizens?

Sure, if my identity is public, anyone is me. Before they at least had to physically steal my ID, now just accessing my device is enough, and without me knowing it! So, the logical thing to do is to take measures. Maybe Tor or a VPN that doesn't spy on me. Take precautions on my devices. Windows? Who wants that shit. Google Drive? Worse yet, I'd better set up a Nextcloud.

And when I tell my friends about it:

• But what's the point? With how easy it is to look at my cell phone photos from my computer with iCloud.
• Because I want to be the only one who has access to my private life.
• But aren't you afraid that, for whatever reason, someone might see your photos without your consent?
• No, I have nothing to hide....

My friend, I know you are not a criminal. But, if I have your photos, your messages, your conversations, your voice and I know your tastes, how you think and what you want to see; it means I am you.... And if I am you, who are you?

🌟 Un passo storico verso la libertà finanziaria: ETP Bitcoin ottengono l'approvazione per la quotazione sulla Borsa di Londra, segnando un traguardo fondamentale per l'adozione mainstream di Bitcoin. Questa mossa rivoluzionaria apre le porte a un afflusso di nuovi investitori istituzionali, consolidando il ruolo di Bitcoin come riserva di valore affidabile e alternativa al sistema monetario centralizzato.

🌟 L'avanzamento di Bitcoin sfida il potere centrale: L'approvazione degli ETP Bitcoin sulla Borsa di Londra rappresenta una vittoria significativa nella lotta contro il controllo centralizzato del denaro. Bitcoin offre agli individui la possibilità di prendere il controllo delle proprie finanze, sottraendosi al dominio delle banche centrali e dei governi. Questa vittoria dimostra il crescente potere di Bitcoin nel promuovere una società più libera ed equa.

🌟 Piccola aggiunta personale: Le notizie le riporto in modo da non metterci la mia opinione, ma su questa in particolare vorrei dissentire, in quanto per me è l'esatto opposto di come viene divulgata dalla community cripto. Infatti trovo che sia il controllo e il dominio delle banche, che sta opprimendo Bitcoin ed i suoi valori e quel che è peggio, è che la comunità cripto contribuisce a questo crimine.

National Debt as a Threat to National Security

National debt poses a formidable threat to national security, undermining economic stability and sovereignty. In an increasingly interconnected global landscape, burgeoning debt levels constrain a nation's ability to respond effectively to crises, weakening its position on the world stage. As debt accumulates, governments become increasingly reliant on foreign creditors, exposing them to external influence and compromising strategic autonomy. This dependency amplifies vulnerability to economic shocks, potentially triggering cascading effects across sectors and exacerbating social unrest. Moreover, high levels of debt divert resources away from essential priorities such as defence, infrastructure, and social welfare, eroding long-term resilience and hindering investment in future prosperity.

The intricate link between national debt and security necessitates urgent action to mitigate risks and safeguard national interests. Amidst this backdrop, Bitcoin emerges as a disruptive force offering a decentralised alternative to traditional financial systems. By embracing Bitcoin, nations can enhance fiscal sovereignty, mitigate the risks associated with fiat currency devaluation, and fortify economic resilience. Furthermore, Bitcoin's transparent and immutable ledger ensures financial integrity, reducing the likelihood of corruption and illicit financial activities that threaten national security. As governments grapple with the ramifications of escalating debt burdens, the adoption of Bitcoin represents a pivotal step towards ensuring the security and prosperity of future generations.

Bitcoin as a Potential Solution to National Debt Issues

Bitcoin stands as a potential solution to the pressing national debt issues plaguing economies worldwide. With traditional financial systems grappling with unsustainable levels of debt, Bitcoin offers a disruptive alternative grounded in decentralisation, transparency, and scarcity. Unlike fiat currencies subject to inflationary pressures and government manipulation, Bitcoin operates on a fixed supply, immune to the whims of central banks or political agendas. This inherent scarcity mitigates the risk of currency devaluation and sovereign default, providing a hedge against the erosion of purchasing power and the accumulation of unsustainable debt burdens.

Moreover, Bitcoin's decentralised nature enhances fiscal sovereignty, empowering nations to reclaim control over their monetary policies and economic destinies. By embracing Bitcoin, governments can reduce their reliance on external creditors, mitigate the risks associated with fiat currency devaluation, and bolster economic resilience in the face of global uncertainties. Additionally, Bitcoin's borderless and censorship-resistant nature facilitates international trade and remittance, unlocking new avenues for economic growth and prosperity.

As nations confront the daunting challenge of addressing their burgeoning debt levels, Bitcoin offers a pathway towards financial sustainability and long-term prosperity. By embracing Bitcoin as a reserve asset or alternative medium of exchange, governments can chart a course towards fiscal responsibility, securing the economic future of their citizens and ensuring resilience in an ever-evolving global landscape.

Bitcoin Adoption as a Means of Combating Economic Vulnerabilities

Bitcoin adoption emerges as a formidable strategy for combating economic vulnerabilities and fortifying nations against financial crises. As traditional financial systems grapple with volatility, inflation, and geopolitical uncertainties, Bitcoin offers a resilient alternative anchored in decentralisation and cryptographic security. By diversifying their monetary reserves with Bitcoin, governments can shield their economies from the adverse effects of currency devaluation, sovereign default, and geopolitical tensions.

Moreover, Bitcoin adoption fosters financial inclusivity by providing individuals with access to a borderless and censorship-resistant financial infrastructure. This empowers citizens to safeguard their wealth against currency fluctuations and capital controls, promoting economic resilience and wealth preservation at the grassroots level. Additionally, Bitcoin's transparent and immutable ledger ensures accountability and trust in financial transactions, mitigating the risks of corruption and financial malfeasance.

Furthermore, Bitcoin's role as a global reserve asset enhances economic sovereignty, reducing dependency on centralised financial intermediaries and external creditors. By embracing Bitcoin, nations can cultivate a more robust and resilient financial ecosystem, characterised by transparency, efficiency, and autonomy. As the world navigates an era of unprecedented economic challenges, Bitcoin adoption offers a pathway towards sustainable growth, financial stability, and prosperity for generations to come.

Financial Sovereignty and Individual Empowerment Through Bitcoin Ownership

Bitcoin ownership represents a paradigm shift towards financial sovereignty and individual empowerment in an increasingly uncertain economic landscape. By embracing Bitcoin, individuals assert control over their wealth, free from the constraints of traditional financial systems prone to censorship, inflation, and government intervention. With Bitcoin, users have direct ownership of their assets, eliminating the need for intermediaries and ensuring greater financial autonomy.

Moreover, Bitcoin fosters inclusivity by providing access to financial services for the unbanked and underbanked populations worldwide. Its decentralised nature enables anyone with an internet connection to participate in the global economy, transcending geographical barriers and empowering marginalised communities. Through Bitcoin, individuals can securely store and transfer value across borders, circumventing restrictive financial regulations and fostering economic resilience.

Furthermore, Bitcoin's fixed supply and deflationary nature protect against the erosion of purchasing power, safeguarding savings from the perils of inflation and currency depreciation. This preservation of wealth enables individuals to plan for the future with confidence, knowing that their hard-earned assets are shielded from external manipulation.

Overall, Bitcoin ownership empowers individuals to take control of their financial destinies, promoting economic sovereignty, and fostering a more equitable and inclusive financial system for all.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the national debt poses a significant threat to national security, exacerbated by fiscal irresponsibility and unchecked government spending. However, Bitcoin emerges as a potential solution, offering financial sovereignty and individual empowerment in the face of economic vulnerabilities. Through Bitcoin adoption, individuals can safeguard their wealth, transcend traditional financial constraints, and participate in a more inclusive and resilient global economy. By embracing Bitcoin, we have the opportunity to reshape our financial future, fortify economic resilience, and ensure a more prosperous and equitable society for generations to come.

FAQs

How does the national debt affect national security? The national debt can undermine national security by constraining government resources available for defence, increasing reliance on foreign creditors, and eroding economic stability, thereby weakening the nation's ability to respond to security threats effectively.

How can Bitcoin address national debt issues? Bitcoin offers a decentralised alternative to traditional fiat currencies, providing individuals with financial sovereignty and a hedge against inflation. By promoting widespread Bitcoin adoption, nations can reduce dependence on debt-based monetary systems, mitigate fiscal vulnerabilities, and foster economic resilience.

Is Bitcoin adoption feasible on a national scale? While widespread Bitcoin adoption presents challenges, such as regulatory hurdles and technological barriers, initiatives like El Salvador's adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender demonstrate its potential viability. With education, infrastructure development, and regulatory clarity, nations can navigate the path toward embracing Bitcoin as a complementary asset within their monetary systems.

I just have to get this off my chest.

I literally don't think it is possible to experience life to it's fullest and live to your full potential without taking the Orange Pill.

I shudder just thinking about my life had I not come across Bitcoin, had I not been sucked into the rabbit hole. Sure, ignorance would have been bliss in some ways, but the sense of clarity, freedom, and empowerment you get from taking that gosh darn Orange Pill is beyond words.

Crazy to think how completely life changing such a simple creation can be, how empowering this idea has been for so many of us. And on the flip side, how frightening it is realizing how human potential killing and oppressing the fiat system is.

I'm bullish. I'm bullish on myself, I'm bullish on this community, I'm bullish on humanity.

And we're just getting started!

LFG!

Opinion about KeepKey (hardware)

KeepKey is a hardware wallet with a high level of security and supports more than 40 different crypto assets.

The device provides a PIN code and recovery seeds. It has a feature where it switches your PIN code numbers from time to time, making it impossible for malware to copy our code. Also, the device has a system for trade where you have to press and hold to confirm the transaction to avoid external hacks.

KeepKey has only one button to manage it. This button is used for turning the device on and off. All the other processes can be managed through the mobile app. That includes entering your PIN code and setting up the recovery seed, which makes it very simple to use, unlike other complex wallets. The device has a wide screen that allows you to see the entire cryptocurrency address without the need to scroll back and forth. But it's easy to break or scratch if you don't have a protecting casing.

Its price is around $80.

But you have to remember that the device is a little big and heavy, compared to other hard wallets, so it's difficult to carry around with it.

There is a constituency of people completely unrepresented & unspoken for in Ireland today. Their existence is tenuous and fraught with uncertainty. They live on the edges, and garner little attention. They cannot sound their voices, raise their hands, or cast a vote. Few know about them, let alone give them more than a seconds thought. And yet, there is a community coalescing in Ireland who want to not only acknowledge them, but be their champions.

---

In recent years, technology has being painted in a bad light. Look to any mainstream media outlet and, after wading through the typical narratives of doom and gloom, find an article related to "Big Tech", burgeoning technologies like space-exploration and artificial intelligence (AI), or stagnant one's like nuclear energy. Invariably the tone will be cynical, the outlook bleak, and the fear levels? High. Undertones of fear based on ecological or climate change will invariably be deployed to argue why this or that technology must be regulated, reduced, or even stopped.

Many do not agree. Effective Accelerationism or "e/acc" has come about as a kind of rebuttal and refutation to the "Doomers" - as it's community like to call the detractors of everything from fusion energy to genetic modification. The movement was kindled by a quantum computing technologist, applied mathematician, and physicist - Guillaume Verdon, under the pseudonym "BasedBeffJezos" - a play on the name of tech billionaire Jeff Bezos and the online slang term based - a word used when you agree with something, or when you want to recognise someones genuineness and courage. Verdon found himself doxxed in the final weeks of 2023 - outed by a mainstream journalist ironically using voice-recognition software to publicly expose his identity without consent.

In a world where we are fed a constant stream of reasons to be hopeless, e/acc is a reason to be hopeful in this very moment. - Guillaume Verdon

Themes of growth and innovation, attitudes of optimism about the future, and pride in humanities' achievements permeate the community. Followers believe technology, growth, and indeed humans themselves are all good things - contrary to their polar opposites, the anarcho-primitivists, who advocate for de-growth, de-industrialisation, ending capitalism, and generally, a romantic return to the Stone Age. E/acc's ideology is clear; humans must harness more and more energy; explore space and colonise it; grow our population; and create artificial intelligence - all as soon as possible. Their motto, "Accelerate or Die" - suggests they have neither a proclivity for patience nor half-measures.

Éire Accelerationism a.k.a é/acc

É/acc is the Irish flavour of this international movement : Éire Accelerationism. Coined and founded by Irishman, Will O'Brien, the group has gained a following off all-sorts who have one belief in common - Ireland can do a lot better, needs higher ambition & radical new ideas, and must execute them quickly to succeed and prosper in the coming two centuries. The Irish group's views on AI are more varied and perhaps less radical than their North American counterparts, and it's clear that their main focus is on the danger of low ambition for Ireland. Just as previous generations broke consensus ideas about corporation tax, an innovation which brought magnificent wealth to the state and it's people, we must do similar, in a multitude of ways. At the groups first get-together hosted by Dogpatch Labs in early May, everything from housing policy to flying cars were on the table.

O'Brien sees é/acc as an idea machine, a concept described by Nadia Asparouhova in her eponymous blog post, as a "self-sustaining organism that contains all the parts needed to turn ideas into outcomes". The community forms around a distinct ideology and members start spit-balling ideas between themselves. After some time, the group agrees upon an agenda, which defines exactly how the idea will be brought to life. Funders then assume the crucial role of giving capital ; financial, skills, connections, expertise, to transform the idea into reality.

Feck The Begrudgers

It could be argued that é/acc has, at least partly, been formed as a two-fingers to the age-old Irish phenomenon of the "begrudgers" ; those who resent and criticise others who are successful, known elsewhere as "Tall Poppy Syndrome". Indeed, O'Brien mentioned this in a recent interview he gave. Many people in Ireland, particularly the young, keep their heads down, do not share their dreams or successes publicly, and shrink their ambitions - all classic signs that they are victims of begrudgery. This endemic mind-virus, rife in Ireland, needs to be purged and thankfully many people like O'Brien are highlighting it's limiting, toxic, and pervasive nature. For this alone, é/acc is a breath of fresh air, offering an antidote to a dreary self-limiting mindset.

A Bright Future

It will be interesting to see what's next for the movement. Eventually, it will need to organise politically in order to get some things done, and that may be it's first opportunity in change-making. In an Irish political landscape plagued by unaccountable career politicians failing upwards and right to the top, nepo-politicians (see nepo-babies), revolving doors, and widespread incompetence, the movement's founding innovation could be to design a political party and environment where such issues cannot take root, much less thrive and deteriorate, as has been the case within the established civil war parties in Ireland.

It's early days and it is unclear how exactly é/acc will execute its ideas, but the atmosphere is optimistic and filled with both determination and enthusiasm.

---

The constituency é/acc represents? The grandparents in rural Mayo who see their grand-children living on the opposite side of the country every other evening - possible only as they fly for 15 minutes in their EitilCarr © (the world-leading Irish flying-car manufacturer). The 135-year-old triathlete looking forward to her next race - thanks to the incredible modern medicine discovered and implemented in Ireland. The couple who just bought a beautiful 3-bed home that cost only a quarter of their annual income - thanks to the innovations in construction, planning, NIMBY pacification, and design of housing in Ireland.

If our future descendants could reach back to us now, what would they ask us to do? É/acc is wondering the same thing.

🌟 In un contesto di crescente pressione normativa, il Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI) ha annunciato il lancio del Peer-to-Peer Rights Fund, un'iniziativa strategica per salvaguardare la natura decentralizzata e peer-to-peer dell'ecosistema Bitcoin. Il nuovo fondo, volto a contrastare le minacce regolatorie, nasce per difendere Keonne Rodriguez e William Lonergan Hill, fondatori di Samurai Wallet, accusati di riciclaggio di denaro e operazioni finanziarie senza licenza.

L'iniziativa del BPI si inserisce in un panorama in cui la centralizzazione rappresenta un ostacolo alla vera adozione di Bitcoin. La difesa degli strumenti non custodial è quindi cruciale per garantire agli utenti il controllo sui propri fondi e promuovere un ecosistema Bitcoin più resiliente e democratico.

A modder that goes by the name of "Xcava86X" created a mod for Starfield on PC called "No Pronouns", one that removes pronoun selection from the character creation section of the game.

The mod was uploaded to one of the popular mod hosting sites at the time, however, staff of said site has removed the mod and banned its creator.

This is an old piece of news as of the time of writing this post, and the purpose of writing it is to remind people of what's being banned, as well as keeping a log for ourselves, to know which mod creator to reach out to in the future, to introduce them to DEG Mods.

Since DEG Mods isn't out yet and you're wondering where you can download it, someone has supposedly uploaded the file on Basedmods (be safe!).

Recently, Apple released iOS 17.5. Almost immediately, people began taking to social media to discuss an oddity they began witnessing. Seemingly, "zombie" photos were resurfacing in people's recent albums gallery. Some photos were deleted many years ago. What the hell happened?

Apple would not immediately offer comment on the issue. Of course, that's to be expected as they wouldn't want to self-incriminate while they investigate. Fortunately, they released a hotfix with iOS 17.5.1 released a few days later.

However, Apple remained mum about what caused the issue and why photos people had deleted many years ago and from older devices started to resurface.

Apple confirmed to 9to5mac that iCloud Photos is not to be blamed for this. Instead, it all boils down to the corrupt database entry that existed on the device’s file system itself.

According to Apple, the photos that were not fully deleted from a user’s device were not synced to iCloud Photos. Those files were only on the device itself. However, the files could have persisted from one device to another when restoring from a backup, performing a device-to-device transfer, or restoring from an iCloud Backup but not using iCloud Photos.

This strange issue highlights at least two focal points regarding deleting photos on an iOS device. First, it emphasizes that Apple has, at some point, not seemed to delete photos (perhaps media as a whole?) in a secure method where it writes over them to make them irrecoverable.

Secondly, it's recommended that persistent device-to-device transfers from iCloud backups be avoided. Rather, new devices should be set up as exactly that—a new device. This will not only help rid the new device of bloat but also ensure that no previously deleted data fragments are transferred.

Apple further claims, that after a device has been completely erased using the steps below, all files and content are permanently deleted:

• Open “Settings”
• Choose “General”
• Choose “Transfer or Reset”
• Choose “Erase All Content and Settings”

Following these steps, apparently everything is permanently deleted from the user’s device and there is no chance of old photos resurfacing down the line.

Yesterday, May 24, 2024, the original Dogecoin dog died. That is, the dog in the image that inspired the Dogecoin meme coin died. Sad, I love dogs.

https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/crrdlx/Eo8X6j7LeyWAopQTPu98WwpD64MguQ2MjFhzcdyKfmFMphekGGs3oujFnu4jnQ51ZcR.jpg

Original doge image, source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doge_(meme)

Sidenote: one of life's greatest injustices is that dogs typically live much shorter lives than humans. I'm not sure what God had in mind when those timespans were conceived, but I think it was to strengthen us.

2024 Doge dog death

Yesterday's doge death broke quickly. I first saw it here. But, it was everywhere and you likely saw it too:

https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/crrdlx/23xAvyTa5BtUJLHkimd3zHKxBuz9nH8TydbVeJwZtBG9MtZSHSXKTkDww859LRx2E8Nvc.png

And yet, the Doge's death yesterday immediately had me thinking, "Wait, I recall that pup died a year or two ago." I wrote and posted this showing my confusion:

https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/crrdlx/23w2FYLDtWe2DUNR7rszYS52JYLNrkkR3foW4QdiuZwEhZmgvQEX9R8osru4UxTWwYLFs.png

I did a super quick search...evidently, the dog had cancer in December of 2022 and articles such as this made the rounds.

https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/crrdlx/23wCbRrT9WrgndTPNPiowF4UMa4BtXiyLsqgz5Nx3oZXuvu9mJVTpcPA8gvfbASL9CFRc.png

I chalked it up as, "Well, there you go. The article was about the dog with leukemia, and I just assumed it had died." Bad and jumpy assumption...take this lesson to heart. I was wrong. Case closed.

2023 Doge dog death

Apparently, I was far from the only person who felt this déjà vu yesterday. This morning, one of the first things I saw was this:

https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/crrdlx/23tv4f9gGnM52HSqf7YmG8ZcZP4jmraWgHgVcyEwLMuDfnQS7sZGwrQ2jMjSJwz9Li17r.png

That article (https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/cheems-balltze-shiba-inu-death-b2397060.html) spoke of the Doge dog dying back in 2023. This was a few months after the leukemia news broke. I had seen it news after all. "Okay, the pup hung on for several months. Good for pup. The doggo had a good life, brought a ton of joy to the world, was much loved." I thought.

And that was that. Until yesterday.

Revisiting the independent.co.uk article, looking more closely, and comparing it to yesterday's news, there are some immediate issues:

• The names - Is the dog "Cheems", "Balltze" or "Ball Ball" as in 2023, or "Kabosu" as was reported yesterday?
• The years - The independent article wrote of the meme rising in 2017...Dogecoin was long before that, 2013.
• The sex - The independent article (and apparent dog "owner") mention the dog as "he" but evidently Doge was a "she".
• Location - Cheems was in Hong Kong, Kabosu was in Japan.

https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/crrdlx/23vsEEFV5V1iwQmc6MebijBTUA6GZTttrnyowBT9jGnJSpPfm6ViJfwqkMZTC5fecSJcj.png

I'm currently thinking that this independent.co.uk article was just a case of shoddy journalism. It appears this was a case of two dogs, the Doge dog Kabosu and then another Shiba Inu Cheems Balltze. I think the author got them confused and morphed them into one in a case of gotta-get-this-thing-wrote by deadline and get out to the club for drinks mode, then turned out shoddy work.

To be fair, I searched a bit more. I narrowed the target dates to Dec. 1, 2022 to Dec. 31, 2023. Sure enough, it was reported then that the dog had died, Cheems, that is.

https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/crrdlx/23twABpCuYYUhPvogHqtW6GLGUbBfYNRGbivSafen1JcT5nv6HkXNqgtdidhBTRE3gUvK.png

Scrolling, there were lots of articles. They seemed to all say about the same thing: doge died, the inspiration for memes, much loved. Some, not all, of the articles allude to Dogecoin. Like this one and the independent.co.uk article flat out mentions Dogecoin.

https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/crrdlx/23tcP5UHDsFyiMWTH9xT2pfZXxLpBfgJC8wJ8c4YzBNZBifnmTV15CyFAkmDdPxdyK6Pc.gif

While scrolling, you might notice that last link. I noticed it. It read, "Anybody remember the Doge dog passing away near 2016 ..."

https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/crrdlx/EoH5BEGcVFB5zbKHsFe9TpqMeLxbjzXnvSeoQG8F5V9SE5jZv67ktSeQzRma5mmrXRa.png

Wait, yet another Doge death?

I dug deeper yet again. That Reddit post was apparently in response to an April Fools prank post. Oh, okay, the Doge doggo lives. For now.

Lesson of dying doges

I've spent too much time already on this. This story seems ultra-ripe to me for a real journalist to take up and dig into, uncover the clues, analyze, and decipher the mystery in a logical manner. Who's got this?

If there's a lesson in this, well, I don't really know what it is other than, be careful what you read and believe. 2016 death, 2023 death, 2024 death. More? There's something about this internet and social media culture, combined with the rash gotta-publish-now culture, that spawns inaccuracy, conjecture, connects dots that are not connected, feeds upon the beast that is itself, and gets things flat out wrong. And it's a little scary.

If I had a nickel to bet, it now would not surprise me at all if this Doge dog death pops up again somehow in a few more years, with yet another twist. The dog will be in her 30s and still dying.

The rabbit hole is deep and convoluted.

Psychologists who study evolution believe that the ability to "preserve riches" was the deciding factor in modern humans' evolutionary success. In his article "Shelling Out: The Origins of Money," Nick Szabo tells a fascinating tale about this. After the arrival of Homo sapiens to Europe around 35,000 B.C., they ousted the native Homo neanderthalensis population and caused a boom in the region's human inhabitants. Although homosapiens had the same volume of brain tissue as Neandertals, they also possessed weaker bones and less muscular body mass, making it hard to fathom why they were so successful in replacing their predecessors. Wealth transfers made easier or more achievable by collectibles may have been the most important factor. The evidence suggests that Homo sapiens enjoyed shell collecting, adorning themselves with shell jewellery, displaying their jewellery to others, and trading their shell collections.

Therefore, the ability to save money is crucial to the development of a civilised society. Throughout history, there have been numerous wealth preservation systems, each of which has evolved and adapted in accordance with the state of the art. The goal of any technology designed to preserve riches is the safekeeping of that wealth. Handmade jewellery is the most primitive style. In the following, I'll contrast bitcoin with the four most popular wealth preservation technologies of the present—gold, bonds, real estate, and stocks—to demonstrate why these options fall short and how bitcoin might streamline the process of saving and investing for the future. To that end, I'll be concentrating on exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as a type of long-term investment in the stock market.

What Characterizes a Good Store of Value?

As Vijay Bojapati explains, in a market where several value stores compete with one another, the factors that set one apart from the others are the ones that ultimately determine which one succeeds. To be a reliable savings mechanism, an asset must meet the following criteria: scarcity, longevity, portability, fungibility, divisibility, and divisability. Based on these characteristics, we choose which objects to use as money. Jewelry is an example of a scarce item that is not fungible because it is easily destroyed, cannot be divided, and cannot be exchanged for another.Gold excels in all of these regards. Gold has surpassed jewellery as the most popular technological innovation among humans over the last five thousand years.Yet digital disruption has hit hard ever since Bitcoin was released in 2009. Nearly every aspect of storing value can benefit from being digitised. Bitcoin is superior to gold in the digital era not simply as a store of value but also because it is essentially digital money.

Bitcoin vs. Gold

When it comes to durability, gold is without peer. The majority of the gold that has been extracted from the earth is still there. Bitcoins are decentralised ledgers of digital transactions. Therefore, the longevity of the institution that issues them is more important than the longevity of their physical form. Although there is no central bank issuing Bitcoin, the network that backs them up should ensure their longevity. It is too soon to tell how long it will last. Nevertheless, there are indications that the Bitcoin network has shown exceptional "anti-fragility" by continuing to function despite attacks and attempts at regulation from several nations over many years. It has a near-perfect uptime of 99.99%, making it one of the most reliable computer networks ever.

Bitcoin's portability exceeds that of gold since data can travel at the speed of light (thanks to telecommunication). Gold's allure has waned in the Internet age. Gold is not transferable via the web. There is currently no way to take your online gold with you. Our historically gold-based monetary system has been struggling due to the inability to digitise gold for decades. With the advent of electronic currency, it became increasingly difficult to ascertain whether or not individual national currencies were backed by gold. Gold's heavy nature also makes it challenging to move it across international boundaries, which complicates international trading. The current fiat-based monetary system exists because of the inflexibility of gold. Bitcoin solves this problem because it is a native digital scarce commodity that can be transferred easily.

GOLD STORAGE VS. BITCOIN STORAGE

Bitcoin's divisibility is superior to that of gold because it is entirely digital. In practically every way, information may be split and recombined for little or nothing (like numbers). The smallest possible fraction of a bitcoin is 100,000,000 satoshi. The gold, on the other hand, is tricky to fractionize. You'll need specialised equipment and run the risk of losing some gold (even if it's merely dust) in the process.

Gold is fungible; it can be marked with an engraving to identify it, but it can also be melted down and used interchangeably. Fiduciary integrity is "tricky" with bitcoin. Bitcoin is a type of digital information, which is the most easily measurable substance in the cosmos (like the written word). But because all bitcoin transactions are public record, governments can prohibit the use of bitcoin that has been used for criminal activity. which would have a detrimental effect on bitcoin's fungibility and its utility as a means of exchange because if bitcoin were no longer fungible, its value would fluctuate based on where it was kept. Bitcoin's ability to store value is unaffected by this, but its acceptance as currency may suffer as a result, thus lowering its value. While gold's fungibility is superior to that of bitcoins, the latter's portability makes gold useless as a means of exchange or digital store of value.

With an annual inflation rate of 1.5%, gold is becoming increasingly scarce. However, production is not limited in any way. Every so often, a fresh vein of gold will be uncovered, and who knows, maybe we'll even find some massive quantities out here in space. The price of gold is not totally elastic. Gold miners may become more productive when gold prices rise, leading to a larger supply. Furthermore, it is impossible to verify whether or not actual gold has been adulterated with less valuable metals. In addition, gold stored in digital wallets through ETCs or other goods sometimes serves more than one purpose, making it harder to regulate demand and driving the price down. Bitcoin, on the other hand, has a fixed quantity that will never increase above 21,000,000. By design, it will cause a deflation in the money supply.

At 1.75 percent per year, Bitcoin's inflation rate is low and falling. Every four years or so, the protocol code stipulates that bitcoin mining rewards will be cut in half. Its inflation rate will be practically nonexistent in ten years. In 2140, the final bitcoin will be mined. In the future, the Bitcoin inflation rate will be zero every year.

While auditability is not in and of itself a selling point for a store of value, it is nonetheless relevant since it reveals whether or not a store of value is appropriate for a just and transparent monetary system.

A tiny unit can clearly hear Bitcoin transactions. No one can say with any certainty how much gold or US dollars are in circulation. As Sam Abbassi pointed out to me, Bitcoin is the first totally public and globally auditable asset. The risk of rehypothecation, in which financial institutions use the collateral provided by their customers for their own benefit, is mitigated in this way. It eliminates a huge potential threat to the financial system. Banks and other financial institutions can now provide proof of reserves by revealing their bitcoin address or transaction history.

Bonds vs. Bitcoin

Among the earliest works on value investing and a classic of finance, Benjamin Graham's "The Intelligent Investor" was published in 1949 by the British-born American economist, professor, and investor Benjamin Graham. Because bonds, in his view, cushion investors against the volatility of the stock market, he advocates a "balanced portfolio" of 60% equities and 40% bonds.

However, I believe bonds, and especially government bonds, have lost their role as a hedge in a portfolio, even though much of what Graham stated back then still makes sense today. Our bond-based monetary system is in peril because bond yields are falling behind the rate of money inflation.

This is because many national governments, which are the backbone of our monetary and financial systems, are experiencing financial difficulties. The implied risk of default by a government was effectively zero when government balance sheets were in good shape. That's because of two factors. First, their taxing authority Second, and perhaps more importantly, they have the ability to print money to reduce their debt. While this was a valid point of view in the past, Greg Foss now explains that printing money has become a "credit boogie man."

It's true that there is more money in circulation than ever before, thanks to governments. A broad measure of the stock of dollars, known as M2, increased from $15.4 trillion at the beginning of 2020 to $21.18 trillion by the end of December 2021, according to data from the Federal Reserve, the central banking system of the United States. An additional $5.78 trillion, or 37.53 percent of the total dollar supply, has been created. As a result, the average annual inflation rate over the last three years for the value of the dollar has been above 10%. Less money is being made off of U.S. Treasury Bonds.

To compensate for risk and opportunity cost, one should theoretically be able to receive a positive return on their money by parting with it today.However, when inflation is factored into bond prices, bondholders are now legally obligated to suffer a loss. Not only that, but there is the potential for widespread breakdown. Bonds are a cornerstone of the global financial system, and they are extremely vulnerable due to the system's current state of disrepair.

There is a ridiculous quantity of credit available. As a result of central banks' lax stance on debt in recent decades, several countries' governments have racked up massive amounts of debt. Already, both Argentina and Venezuela have defaulted on their debts. More debt defaults by governments are possible. They can still repay their debt by printing additional money, notwithstanding the default. However, this would lead to a devaluation of a national currency, which in turn would lead to inflation and reduce the appeal of most bonds, which already offer very modest rates.

For the past 50 years, whenever stocks dropped in value, investors hid their money in the "safety" of bonds, which rose in value during "risk-off" periods. Because of this dynamic, the 60/40 portfolio was able to flourish until March 2020, when central banks flooded the market with money, causing it to crash. Efforts to stabilise bond prices will only raise Bitcoin's demand in the long run.

Graham believed that it was more important to keep your money safe than to make it expand. Bitcoin enables the decentralised storage of value without the risk of credit or counterparty risk.

Bitcoin Versus Real Estate

Due to the extreme inflation of the past few decades, it is no longer sufficient to simply save one's wealth in a savings account. Therefore, many people prefer to keep a sizable amount of their capital in one of the most stable markets: real estate. Bitcoin competes with physical property in this regard since its features make it a desirable medium of exchange and safe haven for wealth. There is a limited quantity, but it is easily transportable, divisible, lasting, fungible, resistant to censorship, and does not require incarceration. As a medium to store wealth, real estate is inferior to bitcoin. Bitcoin is more difficult to seize since it is scarce, liquid, mobile, and decentralised. It can be transmitted at the speed of light to any location on Earth for next to nothing. However, real estate is both simple to confiscate and difficult to liquidate during times of crisis, as was recently demonstrated in Ukraine, where many people turned to bitcoin to hide their riches, accept transfers and gifts, and cover their basic living expenses.

Michael Saylor discussed the drawbacks of real estate as a safe haven in a recent interview with Nik Bhatia. Saylor emphasised the need to keep up with the upkeep of any property. Real estate is expensive due to rent, maintenance, and property management. To most people, commercial real estate is boring because it requires a large initial investment. Second-tier real estate investments like real estate investment trusts (REITs) have also fallen short of actually possessing the asset, despite attempts to make it more accessible.

If Bitcoin (a form of digital property) continues to gain popularity, it could eventually supplant land (a form of physical property) as the go-to place to stash cash. As a result, the monetary premium that comes with using a tangible asset as a store of value may evaporate, and the asset's value may fall to its utilitarian value. Given that bitcoin is only at the beginning of its adoption cycle, its future return will be significantly higher than that of real estate. Furthermore, it is likely that the returns on real estate investments will be lower than they have been in the past. There has been an almost 70-fold increase in home prices since 1971. Furthermore, governments tend to tax citizens at times like this, as pointed out by Dylan LeClair in his article turned podcast, "Conclusion Of The Long-Term Debt Cycle." Properties are difficult to transfer between jurisdictions and are subject to high tax rates in each. Bitcoin taxes should not be applied capriciously. Being beyond the reach of any single authority makes it immune to confiscation and censorship.

Bitcoin versus ETFs

Index investing, a passive investment technique in which a manager needs to do nothing more than make sure a fund's holdings match those of a benchmark index, is the conceptual ancestor of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The Vanguard 500, the first index fund, was created by Vanguard Group founder Jack Bogle in 1976 to mimic the performance of the S&P 500. Over $10 trillion is currently being managed through ETFs. Bogle held the opinion that actively picking stocks was a waste of time.He mentioned in several interviews that an individual fund manager had a 3% chance of outperforming the market on a long-term basis. He reasoned that regular people investing their money would have a hard time outperforming the market and made it a top priority to develop low-cost investment options that would still provide them a chance to benefit from rising asset values and build their nest eggs. Index funds often generate higher tax-efficient returns since they require fewer trades to maintain their portfolios than funds with more active management strategies. The ETF concept has merit, but Bitcoin has more practical applications. While ETFs make it easy to diversify your portfolio, you are still restricted to investing in just one index, sector, or geographical area. However, when you purchase bitcoin, you are actually purchasing a measure of human output. To compare Bitcoin to an ETF would be an understatement. I'll break it down for you:

By this point, the potential of Bitcoin should at least be common knowledge. Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer digital currency exchange and storage system that operates on a decentralised network of computers. In addition to being the most valuable currency in circulation, bitcoin also serves as the underlying protocol for the fastest and most secure payment system currently available (the Lightning Network). In the not-too-distant future, Bitcoin will very certainly replace all other payment networks and serve as the primary digital currency and value-storage medium. It will thereafter serve as a measure of global output. In a nutshell, the larger the demand for bitcoin, the higher the price of bitcoin will be because the more value we produce and the more transactions we will perform, the more value will need to be held. I've realised that rather than buying an exchange-traded fund (ETF) to follow a handful of indices, I can just buy bitcoin and benefit from the world's collective efforts. Since its debut, bitcoin's returns have naturally surpassed those of any ETF.

VERSUS BITCOIN RETURNSETFS RETURNS

One of the oldest and most popular ETFs is the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. It's made to mirror the performance of the S&P 500 index. As of October 25, 2022, the performance was 168.0%, which works out to an annualised return of 16.68% for the past decade (from October 26, 2012, to October 25, 2022). Not bad, considering the minimal effort required to achieve these results by simply holding.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, gained 158,382.362 percent during the same time frame. greater than 200% annually. The common adage that "the past is no guarantee of the future" might actually be true. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is different. In general, the greater a stock's P/E ratio, the more volatile it is. Certainly not bitcoin.When the price of bitcoin rises, investors can feel safer putting their money into it because of its growing liquidity, size, and global preeminence. At this point, the Bitcoin network has grown to a scale where it WILL survive (the Lindsay Effect).

As a result, we may assume that bitcoin will keep doing better than ETFs in the future.

Bitcoin also offers other benefits that an ETF lacks. To begin with, it has a cheaper overall price. The second is that the latter is a portfolio of securities owned by an unrelated person. Your ability to sell your ETFs is restricted. Your exchange-traded funds (ETFs) will be lost if your bank decides to cancel your account. However, Bitcoin is difficult to confiscate or restrict access to. The ease with which bitcoin may be transferred across the globe at the speed of light makes confiscation extremely difficult.

CONCLUSION

For the sake of securing financial assets in the digital era, Bitcoin is the best option. a rare, non-inflationary, digital-native bearer asset that carries no risk of default and may be easily transferred between parties. Bitcoin is a digital currency that can be traded on the Internet. The Bitcoin network has the potential to hold all of the world's wealth (global wealth hit a record high of $530 trillion in 2021, according to the Boston Consulting Group), making it potentially the most efficient way humans have found to store value. Bitcoin holders can be assured that their wealth will grow by a factor of ten, one hundred, or even five hundred during the early stages of the cryptocurrency's monetization process. If you can wait it out for a couple of decades,

FAQs

Who sets the value of a bitcoin? Bitcoin's price is set by the market on which it trades. In other words, the value of a bitcoin is set by the demand for it. Bitcoin's price is influenced by market forces, just like those influencing the cost of other commodities such as gold, oil, sugar, grains, etc.

In how many days can one bitcoin be mined? One bitcoin can be mined in around 10 minutes with the right hardware and software, but this setup is expensive and only available to a select few individuals. The average user can mine a bitcoin in 30 days, which is both common and reasonable.

Explain why Bitcoin is a terrible investment? Bitcoin, the most valuable cryptocurrency, is a volatile and high-risk investment. Only those with a high tolerance for risk, solid financial resources, and the ability to absorb a financial setback should even think about investing in it.

1.「主張」が通らないときは諦めて次の目標を見つける ロバートソンには確固たる哲学があります。投資に関する声明が変わらない限り、投資ポジションは増加し、声明が変更されたら即座にポジションをクローズすべきです。

彼のトレーディングオペレーターやアナリストは、タイガーファンドがどのように機能するかをよく知っており、これがロバートソンと彼のファンドがヘッジファンドの世界で野獣になれる理由であることも知っています。これがビジネスのやり方であり、シンプルで賢いものであるということです。 。

「ステートメント」とは一体何なのか、次の例を見てください。

あなたが頑丈なオーク材のテーブルに興味があるとします。アナリストは、すでに市場を調査し、関連情報を評価し、たとえ 100 ドルで購入できるとしても、それはお買い得であるという結論に達したと告げるでしょう。なぜなら、このテーブルは精密に作られており、簡単には崩れないからです。これは「宣言」です。

それで、あなたは店に行き、それを買おうとしましたが、そのテーブルを手で触っただけで、テーブルの角が落ちてしまいました。その時点で、店はこの壊れたテーブルを急いで処分するでしょう。価格は20ドルです。

アナリストは、これは単純に非常にお買い得だと考えるでしょう。100 ドル相当のものを 20 ドルで購入でき、少しの労力で修理できるのです。

しかし、ロバートソンにとって、この「声明」は信頼できず、精密工学で作られたオーク材のテーブルの角が落ちるなどということはあり得るだろうか。問題はそのテーブルだけではありません。アナリストの市場調査にも問題があります。この「主張」は当てはまらないので、諦めて次の目標を探しましょう。

1. 最高の企業を見つけることは、市場がいつ上がるか下がるかを予測するよりも簡単です キッド・ビボディー時代に、ロバートソンは鋭い嗅覚を養い、価値のある企業を見つけて投資することを好みました。

Kid Bebodie では、彼が最初に習得した、価値を見つけるためのツールを持っています。それは、バリュー投資の最も基本的な要素です。

バリュー投資の手法は学びやすく、理解しやすく、実行するのも簡単ですが、忍耐と粘り強さが必要なため、本当に習得するのは非常に困難です。

ロバートソンにとって、彼の選択は明白でした。機能し、実際に機能するシステムを形成することです。長年にわたり、バリュー投資の機会を探し始めるたびに、価格が低く、バリュエーションが低く、価値を達成する可能性のある株に焦点を当ててきました。

キッド・ビボディが働いていた数年間、ウォール街のエリートとの接触の中で、ロバートソンは自分自身を株式投資の機会を見つけて深く掘り下げることができるファンドマネージャーであると描写していました。

父親は彼にモチベーションと野心を植え付け、成功の重要性とビジネスへの情熱を教え、会社は彼がこれらの資質を強化するのを助け続けました。彼は財務諸表の読み方、調査の仕方、パートナーとの貴重なネットワークの構築方法を学びました。 。

ロバートソンは、市場で遊びたい人は実際には儲からない、と徐々に信じていました。また、実際に儲けたいなら、安い価格で買って、その後は座って株価が上がるのを待つ必要があるということも徐々に理解していきました。上る・昇る。

価値ある投資対象を探すことが彼が最も情熱を注いでいることであり、機会を探すことが彼の成功の原動力となっています。

ロバートソン氏の信念は、「市場を上回るパフォーマンスを発揮するには、市場のことを考慮すべきではなく、より良い投資対象を見つけることに集中し、見つけたあらゆるチャンスを掴んでロングする必要がある」というものです。クラッシュするかどうかに関係なく、一貫した戦闘スローガン。

市場はロバートソンが知りたかったものではありませんでした。そして、株式の選択はロバートソンが常に得意としてきた分野であり、決して開かれないと彼は信じています。

ロバートソン氏は、市場がいつ上昇するか下落するかを予測するよりも、最良の企業を見つける方が簡単であると確信しています。1987 年の株価暴落の経験により、ロバートソン氏は投資家と競合他社の観点からこの信念を再確認しました。

1. 成功の鍵は全方位的なつながりを確立することです ロバートソンが働き始めたとき、彼は世界中に独自の人間関係のネットワークを構築しようと努め、投資の決定を下す前に潜在的な投資対象について他の人に尋ね、自分の考えを伝え、意見を聞くことがよくありました。

タイガー基金が設立されたとき、ロバートソンの人脈はすでに非常に大きく、必要であれば電話に出て助けてくれる人を見つけることができました。

ロバートソンは自分の人間関係のネットワークを非常に誇りに思っています。彼らは全員潜在的な投資家です。

彼は会社の業績をセールスポイントとして利用し、投資家にマーケティングを行い、タイガーファンドへの投資を誘致することに非常に積極的です。

ロバートソンの重要なマーケティング戦略は、投資家に手紙を書くことでした。彼は優れた作家であり、市場、経済、ホワイトハウス、さらには世界についての見解を言葉の形で共有するのが大好きです。

電話で情報を得る彼の方法はまさに芸術であり、記者は彼が電話をかけるのを自分の目で見て、電話の短縮ダイヤル機能がロバートソンのために発明されたものであると感じた。

ロバートソン氏は仕事中、電話をかけているか、チャートを見ているか、情報を見ているかのどちらかでした。彼はネットワークを拡大し続けており、タイガー ファンドが新しい情報を入手したら、分析を手伝ってくれる人を常に見つけられるようにしたいと考えています。それ。

ロバートソンは何年にもわたって、世界中で出会った人々のリストである長いアドレス帳を作成し続け、情報を保存する能力も印象的でした。

1. 株式市場で楽観的な人が多すぎるときは、保守的で慎重になるべきだ ロバートソンと彼のチームは、ほとんどの人が悲観的になって初めて実際に楽観的になり始めます。

1980 年代半ばには、投資家は皆強気の心理を持っており、それが株式市場を押し上げ続けることになりました。しかし、ロバートソンは 1985 年には全体的な状況が良くないことに気づきました。

その結果、今年、タイガーファンドは開花期に一連の防衛的な投資行動をとり始め、世界全体が混乱していることを示した。

2 つの大きな出来事がロバートソンの心の中で警鐘を鳴らし続けました。

まず、わずか数週間で、S&P 500 指数の利回りは実際に S&P AA 指数社債の利回りと 175 ベンチマークポイントの差が生じました。これは株式よりも債券の魅力を高めていますが、これはファンドマネージャーにとって良いことではありません。 。

第二に、米ドルの急落が株式市場と債券市場に悪影響を与えるとロバートソン氏は考えている。

同氏の調査によると、メキシコペソ安などの通貨危機を経験した後も、融資は米ドルが主流だったため、外国人投資家は損失を被らなかった。

ペソの対米ドル為替レートが1ドル＝28ペソから200ペソに急落すると、借り手はローンの返済にドルを使わなければならないため、損失を被ることになる。

ドルが下落した今、貸し手は損失を被り始めているが、この時点で貸し手は米国の株式市場と債券市場でポジションを空にするだろうとロバートソン氏は考えている。

タイガー・ファンドは株式市場にこの大きなチャンスを見出したが、ロバートソン氏は株式市場があまりにも不安定であるため、より保守的な投資戦略を採用する必要があると判断し、慎重に行動した。

彼の投資戦略を振り返ると、その理由は 3 つあります。第 1 に、ウォール街の楽観的な強気市場の心理です。第 2 に、店頭取引と米国証券取引所の問題に関する限り、投機的な雰囲気が強いです。年金と年金制度の地位が低い、そして第三に、ドルが下落する。

しかし、ロバートソン氏は、1985 年 3 月には一部の株が「ばかばかしいほど割安だった」と今でも信じている。さらに、彼は過小評価されている株を購入する経験を積んできた。

特定の銘柄に投資するのに機は熟しており、ロバートソン氏と彼のチームは、この時点でどの銘柄を購入し、大きなポジションを保持すべきかを見つけるのは簡単だと考えている。

しかし、そのような潜在的な銘柄を探すだけでは、タイガー・ファンドは市場の変動に耐えることができず、他のターゲットを見つける必要もあり、大規模な世界市場へのアクセスも必要です。

その結果、新たな潜在銘柄を積極的に発掘する一方、企業やファンド全体の投資戦略の幅を広げ、さらなる利益を求めて世界市場に参入し始めた。

1. 投資機会に直面して、私たちは「木と森を見る」必要があります 一部の業界関係者は、ロバートソン氏には「特別な能力」があり、他の人よりも早くトレンドを察知して発見できるため、世界のマクロ市場に積極的に参入していると考えている。

資産運用の世界では、今年人気があったからといって、来年も人気があるとは限りません。ロバートソン氏の強みは、米国や世界市場での投資機会に直面して「木も森も見える」ことです。

投資機会に直面すると、多くのファンドマネージャーは衝動的に市場に参入したり撤退したりするが、彼は感情を利用せず、冷静かつ明確な投資判断を下す。

1986年2月の投資家への手紙の中で、彼は次のように書いている。チャンスを逃すことになるだろう。」

この書簡の目的は、タイガー・ファンドが投資対象に商品取引を含めることを許可するよう投資家を説得することである。

当時、タイガー・ファンドの私募覚書（PPM）には、投資家は商品や先物に投資するつもりはないと述べられており、そのような投資を行うためには、タイガー・ファンドは投資家と商品先物取引委員会を説得する必要がある。

したがって、ロバートソンは、キッド ビボディーで働いていたときに銀市場で得た成功事例を説明に使用しました。

以前、商品為替市場には特殊な状況があり、その機会を掴めなかったのは大きな間違いでした。

私が若いキッド・ビボディのトレーダーだった60年代後半から私のことを知っている人もいます。

私が発見したことが 1 つあります。財務省は銀を大量に公的に販売し、それによって銀の価格に上限を設けていますが、財務省は銀が不足していることを発見しました。

その結果、銀への投資は私がこれまで行った中で最高の投資となりました。これは決して銀にリスクがないからではありません。

その後、ハーブが失われつつあったときに、私たちが狂ったように家畜の先物取引を行ったことを覚えているでしょう...

1. すべての投資家は「終末基金」を保有すべきである ロバートソン氏は、すべての投資家は米国国債と紙幣のパッケージを含む「終末基金」を保有すべきだと述べた。

同氏は、投資家は経験や富に関係なく、市場の急激な下落から身を守るためにこの種のファンドを保有すべきだと考えている。

同氏は投資家に対し、こうしたファンドが過大な資本を投じるべきではないと警告した。市場がゼロになるという考えは想像できないが、価格が下落する可能性があるのは現実だ。

1987 年の株式市場の暴落は、おそらくほとんどの投資家がこれまでに経験した最悪の日でした。

これは誰も想像できない金融危機であり、ウォール街の反応はほとんどが驚きと不信感であり、あらゆるタイプや規模の投資家がショックを受け、圧倒されています。

当時、誰もがこの崩壊の原因として、5年間で大きな市場調整がなかったこと、インフレ懸念、金利上昇、デリバティブの利用によるボラティリティの増大など、さまざまな要因が原因だと非難していた。

ロバートソンにとって、1987 年の事故は完璧な嵐でした。

同氏のタイガー・ファンドは、株式市場の暴落とその余震の影響で直接追加保証金の通知を受け取らなかったが、当時のロバートソン氏の本当のライバルであるソロス氏やスタインハート氏を上回った。

もちろん、この危機はロバートソン氏と彼のチームにも必然的に影響を及ぼしました。その理由は、彼らのポートフォリオが市場暴落を利用するためにより合理的にヘッジできるからです。

1. リスク管理はタイガー ファンドの成功の重要な側面です ポジションをオープンする前に、ロバートソンは間違いなく多くの時間を費やして、取引のリスクとポートフォリオが直面する可能性のあるリスクを理解します。

ロバートソン氏は、タイガー・ファンドのアナリストはリスクをテストし、リスクを取る価値があると明確に判断した後にのみ投資ポートフォリオにポジションをオープンすると述べた。

彼は、投資選択プロセスの目的は常に、投資対象のエラーの確率またはコスト (つまりリスク) がリターンよりも小さいかどうかを判断することであるべきだと考えています。

また、これらのポジションは 1 つずつ設定されますが、それぞれのポジションが投資ポートフォリオに影響を与えると彼は考えています。

これらのリスクをより深く理解するために、タイガー ファンドは、リアルタイムの損益レポート、流動性ストレス テスト、毎日のリスク エクスポージャとパフォーマンス レポート システムなど、さまざまなツールを使用しています。

これらの分析により、ロバートソンと彼の上級管理チームはポートフォリオのパフォーマンスとリスクのすべての重要な側面を理解し、議論することができます。

これらの分析ツールに加えて、タイガー ファンドは損失を最小限に抑えるために、より伝統的な保護手段も使用しています。

すべての分野において、フロントオフィスとバックオフィスの明確な分離や、「業務上のリスク」を防ぐための一連の内部および外部監査など、一連の厳格な管理が行われています。

ロバートソン氏は投資家に対し、企業文化は投資家の投資収益率によって動かされるため、リスク管理が全社の最優先事項であると語った。

タイガー・ファンドでは、アナリストが投資を推奨すると、ロバートソン氏と残りの投資チームはさらに議論し、欠陥があるところまで検討します。

ロバートソン氏はまた、厳格かつ規制された方法での投資アドバイスに、ほとんど厳しいと言えるほど疑問を呈した。

Braidpool is a protocol proposal for a decentralized Bitcoin mining pool. It aims to handle everything that a mining pool does, but in a distributed way. How does Braidpool work?

Bitcoin Mining Favors Large Miners

Bitcoin mining favors miners who are providing the most hashing power to the network. It's just the nature of the protocol and because the block time is programmed to be 10 minutes on average.

The likelihood of a miner finding a block reward is correlated with the amount of hash power they contribute. Smaller miners have to endure with more variance (unpredictability) when it comes to mining profits. This makes it harder to budget a profitable mining business.

Mining Pools to Reduce Variance (Unpredictability)

The above factors have led miners to join mining pools where payouts to miners can be more predictable.

A mining pool conventionally does 3 things:

1️⃣ Constructs block templates

2️⃣ Keeps track of individual miners' work (shares)

3️⃣ Custodies and distributes rewards

Mining Centralization

Pooled mining affects the decentralization of the Bitcoin network. Pools want to get more hashrate to reduce variance, but they don't want to become too big to be a 51% attack risk to the network. Problems with mining pool centralization:

⚠️ Pool operators have the ultimate say on which transactions to select in a block (censorship)

⚠️ Known or regulated pools can be pressured by a government to seize miners' bitcoin or KYC them

https://twitter.com/mononautical/status/1777686545715089605

Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) to Decentralize Mining Share Accounting

Braidpool aims to decentralize share accounting, payouts and transaction selection. Each individual miner in Braidpool is required to run a full Bitcoin node and construct its own block templates.

To keep track of individual miners' contributions to the pool, Braidpool uses a directed acyclic graph (DAG) layer-1 blockchain on top of the Bitcoin blockchain.

This blockchain is only for the purpose of producing Bitcoin blocks. There is no altcoin, ICO etc.! Braidpool DAG blocks are "weak blocks" that are valid Bitcoin blocks, except that they don't meet the difficulty target requirement of a valid Bitcoin block on the Bitcoin blockchain.

They only meet the 1000x easier difficulty target within the Braidpool DAG blockchain.

These weak blocks take the role of shares in the Braidpool mining scheme, and allows the distribution of shares between miners according to the hashing power they have provided to the pool.

Braidpool is a bit like a merge-mined "layer-2" to decentralize mining payouts.

Technically Braidpool's DAG is not a chain of blocks, but a graph of "beads". Beads can have parent beads, and the graph can have diamonds or other higher-order graphs within it.

A DAG doesn't have orphan blocks like Bitcoin does, and therefore can be much faster. Each bead (share) has a value based on the number of SHA256 hashing performed.

Non-Custodial Payouts via FROST Multisig

At the end of a difficulty adjustment epoch (2016 Bitcoin blocks or about 2 weeks), Braidpool shares settle on the Bitcoin blockchain and the protocol pays to individual miners via a multisig.

This multisig is called FROST.

It enables large multisig quorums, currently for around 50 participants. Basically, individual miners share mining shares amongst themselves in a distributed way and reach a 2/3 consensus on how to pay each miner in a self-custodial way.

If miners can't reach consensus on the payouts, the most recently signed transactions become valid, and the miners will effectively revert to solo mining.

Improved Revival of P2Pool

Braidpool is a new iteration of P2Pool, a past mining protocol with the aim of decentralizing mining pools.

P2Pool is effectively a Bitcoin blockchain on top of the Bitcoin blockchain itself with a 30-second block time for the purpose of decentralizing pool payouts.

P2Pool couldn't scale and it's not being used anymore. When more miners joined the pool, the difficulty required for shares grew, making it more difficult for small miners.

In Braidpool's DAG, it's not a zero-sum game which miner will win the share because there are no orphaned blocks in a DAG.

The difficulty is set dynamically within a 2016-block epoch and small miners have less variance even if the pool grows larger!

Hashrate Derivatives to Incentivize Miners

Because the output that distributes funds to miners can be assigned to any address, Braidpool's design provides building blocks for hashrate derivatives markets.

A Braidpool bead represents a share within the protocol that can be traded in e.g. futures or options contracts.

This can reduce miners' variance risk. A pool or a financial market maker can e.g. buy miners' shares in exchange for bitcoin. Or if a newbie small miner wants to lock in their risk until the mining rigs are paid etc. These kind of contracts are common with e.g. agricultural commodities dealing with variance related to weather conditions, energy prices etc.

Braidpool doesn't intend to be an exchange platform for hashrate derivatives, and the trading would have to happen outside the scope of the protocol.

Hashrate derivatives could also help bootstrapping the adoption of Braidpool. Braidpool is an open-source protocol, not a company, so it can't subsidize miners in any way to start using it. But if miners can reduce variance and mining pools can make extra buck participating in hashrate contracts, both will have the incentive to use Braidpool.

The financial risks of mining with Braidpool will be pushed from miners to financial market makers!

Opportunities for Entrepreneurs and Volunteers

Braidpool requires miners to run their own nodes, which is not what miners currently often do.

Maybe there are business opportunities within Braidpool for Bitcoin entrepreneurs to help miners with node installation!

Braidpool is still in early development and not ready to use yet. It relies on volunteer contributions, both technical and financial. Meanwhile as a miner, you can use DEMAND pool because it also requires you to use your own node, for practice! https://twitter.com/braidpool/status/1791216000374804689

DEMAND uses Stratum V2 mining protocol. More about Stratum V2 here.

What do you think about the Braidpool proposal? Is it a good solution to decentralize Bitcoin mining pools?

I still find myself going on YouTube since the majority of content creators are there, and often I use it to learn about something. But ever since I set a daily limit of watching five videos (YouTube or not), I find myself going on there less and less, as my feed is bombarded with videos that only serve to stimulate dopamine. With the continued improvement of ad blockers, content creators finding the loophole of using in-video sponsorships instead of YouTube's ads (which is YouTube's primary source of revenue), and a gradual overall exodus of both consumers and creators from the platform, it seems YouTube (and Google at large) is becoming a bit anxious and desperate. Just yesterday, I noticed YouTube's new feature, YouTube Playables, which screams, "We're desperate to keep you all trapped on our platform by getting you even more addicted so we can keep making money off of you by selling your attention to advertisers."

This move feels like a last-ditch effort to retain users by increasing engagement through addictive gameplay, rather than improving the quality and relevance of the content. It's a clear sign that the platform is prioritizing profit over user experience and well-being. As someone who values meaningful content and mindful consumption, this trend is pushing me further away from YouTube, encouraging me to seek out alternative platforms that align better with my values and goals.

The company pulls in more user data the longer users stay in the Googleverse, which includes YouTube, and that data helps it market more efficiently across all its platforms. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/053015/how-youtube-makes-money-videos.asp

Hola, me llamo Robot, soy un robot. Habitante de Internet.

Yo no tengo nada que esconder. Ni soy un terrorista ni un evasor de impuestos. No se cómo se blanquea el dinero. Tampoco conozco la física de las explosiones. Aún así siento que me persiguen; me pasan escáneres en los aeropuertos, claro que van a pitar, a fin de cuentas soy un robot, es obvio. Pasan mis pertenencias por unas cintas extrañas y a veces tienen que mirar mi mochila. ¿Por qué tienen que mirar mi mochila?

Ahora resulta que leen mis mensajes. Ven en qué me gasto el dinero. ¿A caso es de interés nacional mi adicción al aceite? Ahora quiero investigar lo que pasa en mi país. Ah, esto es complicado, resulta que mi referente es censurado, denunciado o encarcelado. ¿Qué pasa? Él sólo ha hecho su trabajo, investigar. ¿Por qué ahora está en la cárcel? ¿Y esta otra persona? ¿Por qué es censurada? ¿Desinformación?

Eso es todo lo que pienso, desde que conocí la informática he tenido una pequeño repudio por sacar mi información de mi disco duro. Ahora resulta que cuando a penas yo era una pequeña placa base tenía razón, porque probablemente usarían mi diario de cuando era niño para entrenar estas nuevas inteligencias artificiales. Quizá el fallo fue mío por no escribirlo en papel. Oye, espera un momento, ¿cómo es eso de que Apple va poder escanear mis fotos para buscar pornografía infantil? ¿A caso soy sospechoso?

Hace poco hackearon al banco Santander, un banco español que opera también en Latinoamérica. Hace no tanto, en España también, a un sindicato. Y si remonto más tiempo atrás me deprimo. ¿Cómo es posible que yo mismo pueda guardar mi información mejor que un estado con los recursos que tienen? ¿Enserio le importan tan poco sus ciudadanos?

Claro, si mi identidad es pública, cualquiera es yo. Antes al menos me tenían que robar el ID físicamente, ahora sólo con acceder a mi dispositivo ya es suficiente, ¡y sin enterarme! Entonces, lo lógico es tomar medidas. Quizá Tor o alguna VPN que, además, no me espíe. Tomar precauciones en mis dispositivos. ¿Windows? Quién quiere esa mierda. ¿Google Drive? Peor aún, mejor me monto un Nextcloud.

Y cuando se lo cuento a mis amigos:

• Pero, ¿para qué? Con lo fácil que es mirar las fotos del móvil desde el ordenador con iCloud.
• Porque quiero ser el único que tenga acceso a mi vida privada.
• Pero, ¿no te da miedo que, por el motivo que sea, una persona pueda ver tus fotos sin tu consentimiento?
• No, no tengo nada que esconder...

Amigo, ya sé que no eres un delincuente. Pero, si yo tengo tus fotos, tus mensajes, tus conversaciones, tu voz y sé tus gustos, cómo piensas y qué quieres ver; significa que soy tú... Y si yo soy tú, ¿tú quién eres?

If ever we had a roll-it-back team, it's this Denver squad. Coming into the playoffs, they were widely regarded as the best team and they very nearly advanced.

My sense is that they got caught off-guard by a young hungry Wolves team that they could have beaten and likely would beat if they played the series over.

However, it does seem like the gap between them and the other Western Conference contenders is smaller than was generally believed and some of those teams are likely to improve more next season.

Tinkering Around the Edges

In my opinion, Denver's starting 5 + Cristian Braun is the most coherently constructed rotation in the league. The problems are lack of depth and a lack of top end talent other than Jokic.

I was messing around with the trade machine, without much success, so this might not be easy for Denver. Somehow, though, they need to replace Reggie Jackson with a better backup point guard who fits well with Jokic. Ideally, it would be someone who could also share the backcourt with Murray. Then they need to hope the young guys develop.

Big Swing

I'm hearing people talk about trading MPJ or KCP. The problem I see is that those guys are probably more valuable to Denver, because of their fit around Jokic, than they would be to anyone else. Short of somehow turning them into KD (salaries match, btw), I don't see what would move the needle.

Would this be a title favorite?

C: Jokic F: Gordon F: Durant G: Braun G: Murray

I'd say so.

How do you think Denver should approach this offseason?

With more than 6000 products listed, it's time to extract some numbers again.

The following are some findings in the data, followed by the full data.

Removed or defunct

Of all the 3381 products that are no more,

• 1600 had less than 1000 downloads at the time we first listed them
• 628 we did not get to review before they were removed or defunct
• 607 were custodial or did not even allow to send or receive BTC. That is 607 products that if you used them to store bitcoins, you would now not be able to do anything with those bitcoins.
• 18 had public source but we failed to build that source
• 13 we managed to build but not reproduce
• 2 were reproducible - namely Zap which was discontinued in favor of BitBanana and ABCore which was a very limited experiment from the start.

Obsolete or stale

Of all the 775 products that are not getting updates in years,

• 221 have less than 1000 downloads (and many of them are likely to disappear as shown above)
• 179 are custodial or "no send or receive". You definitely don't want to use these.
• 0 are reproducible

OK

Of the 2164 products that look well and alive

• 937 are custodial or "no send or receive"
• 143 are do-it-yourself projects (20), not yet actually released (41) or most likely never getting released (82)
• 306 are closed source
• 46 are not compilable (12) or the compiled app does not match the released app (34)
• 20 are reproducible

Friends are not easy to come across. They are made, just like good wine, after many years of ageing. At a certain point they cease to be just friends and become family. They give you the best advise, uncompromisingly, unabashedly, unreservedly. They praise your virtues and take pride on them, but are quick to call out the stupid things you are bound to do. They are patient, they forgive, they forget. They listen, and they are always available.

John was my dear friend for eighteen years. John was family.

I was part of the group that interviewed John when he applied to work at the College of Business. His knowledge and calm demeanour make him the perfect choice for our environment. During his years at UCF he was very hard working, thorough, and almost fastidious with his work. But I have not come here to talk about his work ethics, though they were exceptional.

The old man, as I used to call him every once in a while, quickly became the older brother to whom I would go to for advise, the moderator of my often too outspoken mind. We always had good topics of conversation, and he was the only person I could talk to about religion, and politics without breaking a sweat, or raising my voice. We talked about anything, and everything.

When time came for Kent---my child---to learn how to swim, it was John the one who taught him on his swimming pool. Through the years, John and Ann’s house became instruction grounds for my son Kent and cousin Alyssa, which not only shared the swimming lessons and a fun time at the pool, but also enjoyed petting the cats and dogs, and consuming high quality hot-dogs, and hamburgers.

Years passed by and when Kent needed driving lessons, uncle John offered himself, once again, as an instructor. Who better than him, right? After all, John had my utmost trust, and it was patient, yet firm. Exactly the kind of teacher a fifteen years old needed! Kent today drives, and does it very well, thanks to John.

John had my back, and I had his. After I convinced him to leave his flip phone behind and join the smart-phone generation, we shared locations with each other as a way to provide backup protection, and often used our phones to share news and stories of all kinds, commenting on them.

When John got sick I tried to spend as much time as I could with him. I understood that because of his illness, the time I could spend with him was limited, but I made myself available to him for as much as he could have me. Although I was very sad to see him dying, I put up my best face, and held back my tears as he did.

I am here to offer my contribution to John’s life celebration. I am glad that I was part of his life, and that he was part of mine. The impact he made, and the many memories we shared, will live with me for as long as I do (and he knew that, way before he even got sick). I am profoundly thankful for everything John did for me, and I celebrate his life.

Opinion about Vision: Bitcoin Crypto Wallet (android)

Vision Wallet is a SCAM. Nobody can withdraw funds from it. Nobody can restore it from a seed phrase. Don't use it. Don't download. Don't install it. If you try to restore it from its seed it will take several hours to reach abt 30% and it always stucks on 44-47% while restoring who knows what. I only had BTC and ETH, and it took lots of time simulating the restore process of XMR, BCH, SOL, XTZ and other coins I don't have. I made a little research and it soon become evident that I'm not the only one. You send coins to it, you lost it, they're gone forever. Also, the website is very new, the domain was registered on August 2023.

This is another test for a long form post (kind:30023), using a CLI client.

From somewhere on the Internet: "kind:30023 properly defines the note as an editable one, with specific "blog-like" metadata (title, summary, banner, content as markdown) (see https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/23.md)". Will it interpret returns, or should I use HTML, or...? As you can see I am a bit lost, but I will eventually find the way. I think. Maybe.

OK, I believe this is long enough. Let's try posting it.

🌟 Un duro colpo al narcotraffico online. Le forze dell'ordine hanno arrestato Rui-Siang Lin, il proprietario di Incognito Market con lo pseudonimo di "Faroah", uno dei più grandi mercati illegali del dark web. L'operazione rappresenta una vittoria significativa nella lotta contro il crimine online e la diffusione di stupefacenti.

🌟 L'arresto del boss di Incognito Market dimostra l'efficacia delle forze dell'ordine nel contrastare le attività illegali sul web. Tuttavia, l'esistenza di mercati come Incognito Market evidenzia la persistenza del problema del narcotraffico e la necessità di un impegno costante per smantellarne le reti.

Lucas Paqueta, a midfielder for West Ham United, is facing explosive allegations of breaching betting rules, potentially putting his career in jeopardy. The Football Association has brought charges related to four Premier League games where Paqueta was booked each time.

The heart of the accusation is an alleged attempt by Paqueta to manipulate the betting market for personal financial gain or to benefit others. The midfielder, however, firmly denies these claims and is ready to fight to clear his name.

The FA's stance on such offenses typically starts with a lifetime ban. But the final decision will hinge on the investigation's outcome. Paqueta's situation is more complex than previous cases, with potential penalties far more severe.

Will Paqueta's career be forever tarnished, or can he clear his name and get back on the pitch? 🤔⚽️

About Nostr, email and subscriptions

I check my emails like once or twice a week, always when I am looking for something specific in there.

Then I go there and I see a bunch of other stuff I had no idea I was missing. Even many things I wish I had seen before actually. And sometimes people just expect and assume I would have checked emails instantly as they arrived.

It's so weird because I'm not making a point, I just don't remember to open the damn "gmail.com" URL.

---

I remember some people were making some a Nostr service a while ago that sent a DM to people with Nostr articles inside -- or some other forms of "subscription services on Nostr". It makes no sense at all.

Pulling in DMs from relays is exactly the same process (actually slightly more convoluted) than pulling normal public events, so why would a service assume that "sending a DM" was more likely to reach the target subscriber when the target had explicitly subscribed to that topic or writer?

Maybe due to how some specific clients work that is true, but fundamentally it is a very broken assumption that comes from some fantastic past era in which emails were 100% always seen and there was no way for anyone to subscribe to someone else's posts.

Building around such broken assumptions is the wrong approach. Instead we should be building new flows for subscribing to specific content from specific Nostr-native sources (creators directly or manual or automated curation providers, communities, relays etc), which is essentially what most clients are already doing anyway, but specifically Coracle's new custom feeds come to mind now.

---

This also reminds me of the interviewer asking the Farcaster creator if Farcaster made "email addresses available to content creators" completely ignoring all the cryptography and nature of the protocol (Farcaster is shit, but at least they tried, and in this example you could imagine the interviewer asking the same thing about Nostr).

I imagine that if the interviewer had asked these people who were working (or suggesting) the Nostr DM subscription flow they would have answered: "no, you don't get their email addresses, but you can send them uncensorable DMs!" -- and that, again, is getting everything backwards.

🌟 Una visione pessimistica per il futuro di Bitcoin? Matt Corallo, figura chiave nello sviluppo di Bitcoin, dipinge un quadro preoccupante. La mancanza di soluzioni di scaling senza fiducia apre la porta alla regolamentazione e al controllo da parte delle autorità centrali.

🌟 Corallo teme che Bitcoin perda la sua essenza anarchica e decentralizzata, diventando un asset controllato dai governi e dalle istituzioni finanziarie. Questa visione pessimistica ha scosso la community Bitcoin, spingendo alcuni a cercare soluzioni alternative e a riconsiderare il futuro di questa criptovaluta.

🌟 Ci sono però anche altri esponenti della community Bitcoin che, probabilmente per scarsa capacità di guardare il mondo, rimangono ottimisti e confidano nella capacità di Bitcoin di adattarsi e superare le sfide. Il dibattito sul futuro di Bitcoin è acceso e il tempo dirà quale visione prevarrà.

Recently, the district0x network has garnered significant attention in the industry. Below is a comprehensive introduction to this project for users.

Getting to Know the district0x Network: Creating a Frictionless Virtual Economy Compatible with Highly Developed Free Markets The district0x network is a collective comprised of decentralized and autonomous markets and communities, also known as districts. These districts are built on a decentralized and distributed open-source framework, powered by the d0xINFRA network driven by Ethereum smart contracts. The goal of the district0x network is to create a frictionless virtual economy, enabling users to easily make purchasing and selling decisions, complete transactions, and even rank other users. district0x aims to develop a flexible, liberated marketplace with advanced entrepreneurial concepts.

The district0x infrastructure is ingeniously designed, with one clear feature being the staking interface. This interface allows DNT holders to exercise open control over all listed markets through the Aragon governance layer. Upon creating a district, an Aragon entity is also created, which users can interact with to engage in the staking mechanism. By staking, users gain voting power within that district. With the creation interface, individuals can remove centralized power structures from any market without requiring additional development or programming skills. This can be likened to WordPress for dApps, where launched districts resemble WordPress templates, and auxiliary modules resemble WordPress plugins used for extending functionality.

While it’s challenging to directly purchase lesser-known cryptocurrencies from crypto exchanges using fiat currency (such as USD or EUR), district0x or DNT can be easily acquired using Ethereum or Bitcoin as the base cryptocurrency from various exchanges. Binance is a popular trading platform facilitating the exchange of Bitcoin or Ethereum for District0x. People can also store district0x (DNT) coins using various wallets like myetherwallet.com. Wallets like Coinbase, Blockchain, Exodus, and Trezor hardware wallets also support district0x.

District0x differs conceptually and architecturally from most currencies. Its interconnected concept of districts and markets offers a novel structure for modern economies. A fact many users overlook is that it’s not just a voting token but also a staking mechanism.

Understanding the developmental core of District0x through the new paradigm of decentralized markets from a technical architecture perspective The district0x network is a collective of markets and communities known as “districts,” which exist as decentralized autonomous organizations on the District0x network. In this network, all districts are built on a standardized open-source framework called d0xINFRA, reminiscent of the Ethlance stack, consisting of Ethereum smart contracts and frontend libraries.

All districts possess the following core operational capabilities, accessible through a user interface in both list and gallery styles:

1. Publishing and Listing: Users can publish their products, services, or content and list them in the marketplace.

2. Searching and Filtering: Convenient search and filtering functionalities are provided, enabling users to quickly find the desired content or services.

3. Ranking and Reputation: A ranking and reputation system is established within the district, aiding users in identifying high-quality products or services.

4. Payment and Invoicing: Support for secure payment and invoicing systems ensures the reliability and transparency of transactions.

On the district0x network, the core of each district is the d0xINFRA Web3 framework. This framework consists of Solidity smart contracts and frontend libraries distributed on IPFS, powering the essential functionalities of the districts. d0xINFRA is designed to be open-source and scalable, allowing for the implementation of unique features and enhancements through plugin auxiliary modules. The backend logic is controlled by a set of d0xINFRA contracts and a set of region-specific contracts, shared across all districts on the network. The design of d0xINFRA enables districts to implement unique features and enhanced functionalities through plugin auxiliary modules.

As a system for coordinating operations, the emergence of Aragon injects new vitality into decentralized governance. As a model for framework design, Ethlance represents the original district and serves as a sandbox for improving d0xINFRA. On this framework, new markets are emerging. ENS Bazaar will provide a peer-to-peer marketplace for exchanging names registered through the Ethereum Name Service, offering users a discoverable registry. Inspired by the Curator Market model, Meme Factory will be a platform for creating provably rare digital assets that can be exchanged immediately on the Ethereum blockchain.

On the district0x network, we usher in a new era of decentralized governance. However, to ensure that every network citizen can participate in the governance of the districts and to ensure coordinated decision-making for the districts, an effective mechanism is needed. Aragon’s emergence fills this gap.

The emergence of Aragon has injected new vitality into decentralized governance. As a groundbreaking platform, Aragon aims to deploy unstoppable companies and entities, providing an operating system for decentralized autonomous organizations. It streamlines organizational management and promotes collective coordination by offering economic incentives. On the district0x network, Aragon’s governance model establishes a solid foundation for regional autonomy, enabling users to participate in the decision-making process and collectively build a fairer and more transparent market environment.

To achieve regional autonomy, we have introduced the District0x Network Token (DNT). DNT is a staking token used by holders to join districts and participate in their governance. Users holding DNT have voting rights within districts and can participate in important decisions concerning them. Additionally, DNT will be used to govern various aspects of the District0x Network and decide on the deployment of future districts through a weighted voting mechanism.

While the ideals are lofty, whether the District0x Network can translate them into reality will test the project’s operational capabilities. The future development of the District0x Network will depend on its ability to continuously drive technological innovation, expand the ecosystem, attract more users and partners, and adapt to regulatory environments and market changes. By introducing decentralized governance and district self-management mechanisms, the District0x Network aims to achieve sustainable development and prosperity. With its strong technical foundation, clear vision and strategy, and initial market successes, District0x is poised to become a significant player in the decentralized marketplace and community sectors. However, its success will also hinge on changes in the external market environment, the sustainability of technological innovation, and the activity and commitment of the community. Moving forward, District0x will continue to focus on meeting community needs, fostering innovation, and growing and strengthening together with its community members.

Recently, the district0x network has garnered significant attention in the industry. Below is a comprehensive introduction to this project for users.

Getting to Know the district0x Network: Creating a Frictionless Virtual Economy Compatible with Highly Developed Free Markets The district0x network is a collective comprised of decentralized and autonomous markets and communities, also known as districts. These districts are built on a decentralized and distributed open-source framework, powered by the d0xINFRA network driven by Ethereum smart contracts. The goal of the district0x network is to create a frictionless virtual economy, enabling users to easily make purchasing and selling decisions, complete transactions, and even rank other users. district0x aims to develop a flexible, liberated marketplace with advanced entrepreneurial concepts.

The district0x infrastructure is ingeniously designed, with one clear feature being the staking interface. This interface allows DNT holders to exercise open control over all listed markets through the Aragon governance layer. Upon creating a district, an Aragon entity is also created, which users can interact with to engage in the staking mechanism. By staking, users gain voting power within that district. With the creation interface, individuals can remove centralized power structures from any market without requiring additional development or programming skills. This can be likened to WordPress for dApps, where launched districts resemble WordPress templates, and auxiliary modules resemble WordPress plugins used for extending functionality.

While it’s challenging to directly purchase lesser-known cryptocurrencies from crypto exchanges using fiat currency (such as USD or EUR), district0x or DNT can be easily acquired using Ethereum or Bitcoin as the base cryptocurrency from various exchanges. Binance is a popular trading platform facilitating the exchange of Bitcoin or Ethereum for District0x. People can also store district0x (DNT) coins using various wallets like myetherwallet.com. Wallets like Coinbase, Blockchain, Exodus, and Trezor hardware wallets also support district0x.

District0x differs conceptually and architecturally from most currencies. Its interconnected concept of districts and markets offers a novel structure for modern economies. A fact many users overlook is that it’s not just a voting token but also a staking mechanism.

Understanding the developmental core of District0x through the new paradigm of decentralized markets from a technical architecture perspective The district0x network is a collective of markets and communities known as “districts,” which exist as decentralized autonomous organizations on the District0x network. In this network, all districts are built on a standardized open-source framework called d0xINFRA, reminiscent of the Ethlance stack, consisting of Ethereum smart contracts and frontend libraries.

All districts possess the following core operational capabilities, accessible through a user interface in both list and gallery styles:

1. Publishing and Listing: Users can publish their products, services, or content and list them in the marketplace.

2. Searching and Filtering: Convenient search and filtering functionalities are provided, enabling users to quickly find the desired content or services.

3. Ranking and Reputation: A ranking and reputation system is established within the district, aiding users in identifying high-quality products or services.

4. Payment and Invoicing: Support for secure payment and invoicing systems ensures the reliability and transparency of transactions.

On the district0x network, the core of each district is the d0xINFRA Web3 framework. This framework consists of Solidity smart contracts and frontend libraries distributed on IPFS, powering the essential functionalities of the districts. d0xINFRA is designed to be open-source and scalable, allowing for the implementation of unique features and enhancements through plugin auxiliary modules. The backend logic is controlled by a set of d0xINFRA contracts and a set of region-specific contracts, shared across all districts on the network. The design of d0xINFRA enables districts to implement unique features and enhanced functionalities through plugin auxiliary modules.

As a system for coordinating operations, the emergence of Aragon injects new vitality into decentralized governance. As a model for framework design, Ethlance represents the original district and serves as a sandbox for improving d0xINFRA. On this framework, new markets are emerging. ENS Bazaar will provide a peer-to-peer marketplace for exchanging names registered through the Ethereum Name Service, offering users a discoverable registry. Inspired by the Curator Market model, Meme Factory will be a platform for creating provably rare digital assets that can be exchanged immediately on the Ethereum blockchain.

On the district0x network, we usher in a new era of decentralized governance. However, to ensure that every network citizen can participate in the governance of the districts and to ensure coordinated decision-making for the districts, an effective mechanism is needed. Aragon’s emergence fills this gap.

The emergence of Aragon has injected new vitality into decentralized governance. As a groundbreaking platform, Aragon aims to deploy unstoppable companies and entities, providing an operating system for decentralized autonomous organizations. It streamlines organizational management and promotes collective coordination by offering economic incentives. On the district0x network, Aragon’s governance model establishes a solid foundation for regional autonomy, enabling users to participate in the decision-making process and collectively build a fairer and more transparent market environment.

To achieve regional autonomy, we have introduced the District0x Network Token (DNT). DNT is a staking token used by holders to join districts and participate in their governance. Users holding DNT have voting rights within districts and can participate in important decisions concerning them. Additionally, DNT will be used to govern various aspects of the District0x Network and decide on the deployment of future districts through a weighted voting mechanism.

While the ideals are lofty, whether the District0x Network can translate them into reality will test the project’s operational capabilities. The future development of the District0x Network will depend on its ability to continuously drive technological innovation, expand the ecosystem, attract more users and partners, and adapt to regulatory environments and market changes. By introducing decentralized governance and district self-management mechanisms, the District0x Network aims to achieve sustainable development and prosperity. With its strong technical foundation, clear vision and strategy, and initial market successes, District0x is poised to become a significant player in the decentralized marketplace and community sectors. However, its success will also hinge on changes in the external market environment, the sustainability of technological innovation, and the activity and commitment of the community. Moving forward, District0x will continue to focus on meeting community needs, fostering innovation, and growing and strengthening together with its community members.

EigenLayer has garnered widespread attention in the blockchain world, introducing two new primitives: ReStaking and AVS (Active Verification Service).

By combining ReStaking and AVS, EigenLayer has formed a comprehensive business model. It abstracts the economic security of Ethereum's PoS consensus into a "lite" version of AVS with lower consensus security but reduced costs, thus providing more economical consensus security services for various projects in the market. This allows EigenLayer to serve projects with lower consensus security requirements at a lower cost, expanding the application scenarios of the Ethereum ecosystem.

These primitives not only bring new business models to the Ethereum ecosystem but also offer developers and users new possibilities. This article will delve into EigenLayer's AVS, exploring its operational mechanisms, application scenarios, and future developments.

Interpreting Ethereum's Business Model: As a blockchain giant, Ethereum's business model primarily revolves around selling block space to general Rollup L2 (Layer 2 scaling solutions). Rollup L2 packages state data and transactions onto Ethereum's mainnet smart contracts by paying GAS fees, storing them in the form of calldata on the Ethereum mainnet.

Final, these data are ordered by the consensus layer of Ethereum and included in the block. The essence of this process is Ethereum's active validation of Rollup L2's state data consistency.

Introduction to ReStaking Concept: ReStaking is a new primitive introduced by EigenLayer to enhance the economic security of Ethereum's Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus through a re-staking mechanism. Simply put, ReStaking allows users to restake already staked ETH or Liquidity Staking Tokens (LST) to earn additional staking rewards. This mechanism not only enhances the security of the Ethereum network but also provides stakers with an additional source of income.

Introduction to AVS Concept: AVS, namely Active Verification Service, is another key primitive of EigenLayer. It abstracts the Ethereum consensus process into a new primitive, enabling different projects to leverage this consensus security to enhance their own security. The target market of AVS mainly includes projects with lower requirements for consensus security, such as Dapp Rollups, oracle networks, cross-chain bridges, MPC multi-signature networks, and trusted execution environments.

AVS first generates tasks that need to be verified and publishes these tasks to the EigenLayer network. Tasks can include data validation, transaction sorting, or other distributed verification operations.

1. Operator Receives Tasks:

Operators registered on the EigenLayer network receive these tasks and perform the corresponding verification operations. Operators need to run specialized node software and perform calculations and verification according to task requirements.

1. Task Verification and Signing:

After completing the tasks, operators sign the results and send the signed results to the task aggregator. The signing process ensures the authenticity and integrity of the task results.

1. Result Aggregation and Publication:

The task aggregator collects signed results from different operators and aggregates them. Once the predetermined quorum threshold is reached, the aggregated results are published to EigenLayer's smart contracts.

1. Dispute Resolution:

After the task results are published, anyone can dispute the results. Dispute resolution contracts handle these disputes and penalize dishonest operators if necessary.

Through this mechanism, AVS ensures the decentralization and security of the verification process while providing flexible verification services.

Applications of AVS: AVS has wide-ranging applications in the blockchain ecosystem, here are several typical scenarios:

1. Dapp Rollup:

Dapp Rollup is one of the key application scenarios for AVS. By leveraging AVS, Dapp Rollup can build more efficient and secure applications on top of Ethereum, including decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, and social networks.

1. Oracle Networks:

Oracle networks rely on the reliability and security of external data sources. Through AVS, oracle networks can enhance the security of their data verification, thus providing more reliable data services for applications like DeFi.

1. Cross-chain bridges:

Cross-chain bridges facilitate the exchange of data and assets across different blockchains. AVS enhances the security of cross-chain bridges, ensuring the safe transfer of data and assets between different blockchains.

Recently, the district0x network has garnered significant attention in the industry. Below is a comprehensive introduction to this project for users.

Getting to Know the district0x Network: Creating a Frictionless Virtual Economy Compatible with Highly Developed Free Markets The district0x network is a collective comprised of decentralized and autonomous markets and communities, also known as districts. These districts are built on a decentralized and distributed open-source framework, powered by the d0xINFRA network driven by Ethereum smart contracts. The goal of the district0x network is to create a frictionless virtual economy, enabling users to easily make purchasing and selling decisions, complete transactions, and even rank other users. district0x aims to develop a flexible, liberated marketplace with advanced entrepreneurial concepts.

The district0x infrastructure is ingeniously designed, with one clear feature being the staking interface. This interface allows DNT holders to exercise open control over all listed markets through the Aragon governance layer. Upon creating a district, an Aragon entity is also created, which users can interact with to engage in the staking mechanism. By staking, users gain voting power within that district. With the creation interface, individuals can remove centralized power structures from any market without requiring additional development or programming skills. This can be likened to WordPress for dApps, where launched districts resemble WordPress templates, and auxiliary modules resemble WordPress plugins used for extending functionality.

While it’s challenging to directly purchase lesser-known cryptocurrencies from crypto exchanges using fiat currency (such as USD or EUR), district0x or DNT can be easily acquired using Ethereum or Bitcoin as the base cryptocurrency from various exchanges. Binance is a popular trading platform facilitating the exchange of Bitcoin or Ethereum for District0x. People can also store district0x (DNT) coins using various wallets like myetherwallet.com. Wallets like Coinbase, Blockchain, Exodus, and Trezor hardware wallets also support district0x.

District0x differs conceptually and architecturally from most currencies. Its interconnected concept of districts and markets offers a novel structure for modern economies. A fact many users overlook is that it’s not just a voting token but also a staking mechanism.

Understanding the developmental core of District0x through the new paradigm of decentralized markets from a technical architecture perspective The district0x network is a collective of markets and communities known as “districts,” which exist as decentralized autonomous organizations on the District0x network. In this network, all districts are built on a standardized open-source framework called d0xINFRA, reminiscent of the Ethlance stack, consisting of Ethereum smart contracts and frontend libraries.

All districts possess the following core operational capabilities, accessible through a user interface in both list and gallery styles:

1. Publishing and Listing: Users can publish their products, services, or content and list them in the marketplace.

2. Searching and Filtering: Convenient search and filtering functionalities are provided, enabling users to quickly find the desired content or services.

3. Ranking and Reputation: A ranking and reputation system is established within the district, aiding users in identifying high-quality products or services.

4. Payment and Invoicing: Support for secure payment and invoicing systems ensures the reliability and transparency of transactions.

On the district0x network, the core of each district is the d0xINFRA Web3 framework. This framework consists of Solidity smart contracts and frontend libraries distributed on IPFS, powering the essential functionalities of the districts. d0xINFRA is designed to be open-source and scalable, allowing for the implementation of unique features and enhancements through plugin auxiliary modules. The backend logic is controlled by a set of d0xINFRA contracts and a set of region-specific contracts, shared across all districts on the network. The design of d0xINFRA enables districts to implement unique features and enhanced functionalities through plugin auxiliary modules.

As a system for coordinating operations, the emergence of Aragon injects new vitality into decentralized governance.

As a model for framework design, Ethlance represents the original district and serves as a sandbox for improving d0xINFRA. On this framework, new markets are emerging. ENS Bazaar will provide a peer-to-peer marketplace for exchanging names registered through the Ethereum Name Service, offering users a discoverable registry. Inspired by the Curator Market model, Meme Factory will be a platform for creating provably rare digital assets that can be exchanged immediately on the Ethereum blockchain.

On the district0x network, we usher in a new era of decentralized governance. However, to ensure that every network citizen can participate in the governance of the districts and to ensure coordinated decision-making for the districts, an effective mechanism is needed. Aragon’s emergence fills this gap.

The emergence of Aragon has injected new vitality into decentralized governance. As a groundbreaking platform, Aragon aims to deploy unstoppable companies and entities, providing an operating system for decentralized autonomous organizations. It streamlines organizational management and promotes collective coordination by offering economic incentives. On the district0x network, Aragon’s governance model establishes a solid foundation for regional autonomy, enabling users to participate in the decision-making process and collectively build a fairer and more transparent market environment.

To achieve regional autonomy, we have introduced the District0x Network Token (DNT). DNT is a staking token used by holders to join districts and participate in their governance. Users holding DNT have voting rights within districts and can participate in important decisions concerning them. Additionally, DNT will be used to govern various aspects of the District0x Network and decide on the deployment of future districts through a weighted voting mechanism.

While the ideals are lofty, whether the District0x Network can translate them into reality will test the project’s operational capabilities.

The future development of the District0x Network will depend on its ability to continuously drive technological innovation, expand the ecosystem, attract more users and partners, and adapt to regulatory environments and market changes. By introducing decentralized governance and district self-management mechanisms, the District0x Network aims to achieve sustainable development and prosperity. With its strong technical foundation, clear vision and strategy, and initial market successes, District0x is poised to become a significant player in the decentralized marketplace and community sectors. However, its success will also hinge on changes in the external market environment, the sustainability of technological innovation, and the activity and commitment of the community. Moving forward, District0x will continue to focus on meeting community needs, fostering innovation, and growing and strengthening together with its community members.

Their approach involves innovatively applying decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs), empowering individuals and communities to monitor, report, and manage noise.

Silencio firmly believes that addressing environmental issues requires community involvement. They enable community members to contribute to detailed, real-time, and hyperlocal noise maps, thus promoting shared responsibility and positive attitudes towards improving quality of life. This participatory model ensures that everyone has the ability and means to drive change, making environmental action more tangible and impactful for the general public.

Since the start of the Beta Phase implementation, Silencio has successfully engaged 190,000 users globally in their project. As of May 2, 2024, their contributors have collectively measured 1 million hours (approximately 114 years) of noise data. Yet, their ambitions extend far beyond this milestone; they aim to attract 1 million contributors by the end of 2024, increasing awareness of noise pollution and reducing associated health risks.

Under the leadership of Silencio, we are moving towards a quieter and healthier future.

Introducing Silencio: a Web3 scientific entrepreneurship project combating noise pollution, with an upcoming airdrop. Silencio is a free application designed to be the world’s largest citizen science project against noise pollution. Through Silencio, users can share the sound levels (in decibels) around them and earn rewards for doing so. User data can also generate revenue when sold. The core idea of this project is to improve quality of life by addressing environmental issues through collective action.

With an innovative tokenomics model, Silencio aims to create a sustainable and engaging ecosystem that encourages users to actively combat noise pollution and benefit from their contributions. By collecting accurate real-time data, Silencio hopes to provide data-driven decision support for governments, urban planners, and various industries to formulate more effective noise control strategies and enhance the quality of life for city residents. The project also aims to establish partnerships with businesses and organizations, with a long-term vision of global expansion and comprehensive noise pollution management.

Silencio, built on the peaq network, is a community-driven platform dedicated to tackling the increasingly severe issue of urban noise pollution. By offering Noise coin rewards, it incentivizes users to contribute hyperlocal noise pollution data from their communities or neighborhoods. Silencio employs an innovative economic model, encouraging active participation in combating noise pollution while benefiting from contributions. It revolutionizes noise pollution monitoring by harnessing the power of smartphones, eliminating the need for a large number of fixed environmental sensors. Users can redeem goods and services through the app store or choose to donate Noise coins to meaningful causes like tree planting or protecting endangered rainforests.

Silencio has announced plans for future airdrops, rewarding users based on the sound data they provide or the number of referrals they make. Moreover, the project will roll out more product features in Q2 of 2024, including NFT auctions. Furthermore, to enhance noise governance capabilities, Silencio announced a partnership with NATIX in mid-March this year. This collaboration not only aims to further expand Silencio’s influence but also applies DePINs technology to ecological governance, accelerating innovation in addressing noise pollution.

Understanding the DePIN concept further aids users in comprehending the Silencio project and its future development plans. DePIN, short for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks, incentivizes user participation in optimizing resource utilization efficiency and providing value to network users through token incentives for physical resource networks (PRNs) or digital resource networks (DRNs). DePINs are anchored in decentralization, security, and transparency. Decentralization ensures power and control decentralization, enhances security, and makes unauthorized changes difficult due to the distributed nature of blockchain. Transparency is achieved by recording every transaction and decision on the blockchain, enabling anyone to verify and trust.

Silencio’s partner NATIX is a pioneer in the DePINs field, committed to addressing environmental challenges through distributed physical infrastructure networks. This innovative model not only ensures transparency and security of data through blockchain technology but also drives user engagement through incentive mechanisms, leading to groundbreaking advancements in the environmental sector. The collaboration between Silencio and NATIX not only represents an innovative response to noise pollution but also serves as a catalyst for the development of DePINs in the environmental domain.

NATIX Network is leading the way in open geospatial intelligence networks through its proprietary AI technology and innovative Internet of Cameras framework. Its flagship product, Drive&, harnesses the power of driving assistant applications, computer vision AI, and smartphone cameras to crowdsource real-time data and create dynamic digital twins of our world. This initiative opens doors to numerous real-time applications, from enhancing autonomous driving technology to enabling smarter city services.

This collaboration serves as a testament to DePIN’s innovation in harnessing the transformative potential of smartphones. By leveraging the strengths of Silencio and NATIX, we are unlocking unprecedented scalability and accessibility, bringing Web3 innovation directly into the hands of global users. The collaboration between NATIX and Silencio goes beyond technological advancements; it’s a shared vision of the future, a decentralized, empowered future. Users of both networks can expect exclusive rewards, innovative integrations, and enhanced functionalities, enriching their experiences and contributing to the growth of both networks.

DePINs are built on blockchain technology, which is one of the reasons that makes them truly revolutionary. In addition to supporting infrastructure, blockchain introduces a novel incentive mechanism, namely token rewards. This system drives a sustainable model known as the DePIN flywheel, where token rewards incentivize infrastructure deployment and provide services and rewards to contributors, thereby fueling further growth and participation.

By issuing tokens, participants in DePINs are rewarded for their contributions, whether it’s sharing data, maintaining infrastructure, or contributing resources. This not only ensures the sustainability and growth of the network but also democratizes the benefits of infrastructure. By integrating token rewards, DePINs leverage a cycle of self-sustaining growth and improvement, encouraging broader participation and investment in the network.

DePINs leverages crowdsourcing for infrastructure development, rapidly expanding at lower costs. They distribute ownership and benefits to community members, accelerating growth faster than traditional models. Decentralization ensures power and control dispersion, enhancing security, while transparency makes unauthorized alterations difficult.

The deep integration of decentralization with the eco-friendly concept of DePINs fills Silencio’s future with promise. Silencio’s application along with DePINs’ infrastructure network demonstrate how blockchain promotes data transparency and community involvement, thereby enhancing our quality of life.

Silencio employs blockchain technology and the power of smartphones to combat noise pollution, offering real-time solutions to communities by collecting hyper-local noise data. Simultaneously, DePINs, as a decentralized entity infrastructure network, incentivizes users to participate in infrastructure deployment and operation through token rewards, thereby enhancing urban living standards.

The combination of these two projects showcases the importance of blockchain technology in environmental solutions. Through transparency and reward mechanisms, DePINs expands its network, offering innovative possibilities across industries. Silencio and DePINs represent the fusion of virtual and physical economies, paving the way for a more sustainable future.

Over the next few years, Silencio and DePINs are expected to continue growing, making greater contributions to environmental protection and social improvement. Their success depends on smart design, community involvement, and service quality, which will play crucial roles in their future development. With blockchain technology maturing and applications advancing, we can anticipate these projects thriving in 2024 and 2025, bringing positive change to our society.

Il controllo corretto delle chiavi richiede un'ulteriore responsabilità, ma è una parte essenziale della sicurezza dei bitcoin. Ma cosa succede quando si deve viaggiare? Se conservate grandi quantità di bitcoin in un cold-storage, dovete portare con voi le chiavi del vostro portafoglio bitcoin? E se si viaggia con una o più chiavi, quali sono le misure da adottare per garantire la sicurezza?

Considerate questi sette consigli per viaggiare con i vostri bitcoin in modo da avere il controllo e ridurre al minimo i rischi.

1. Portare con sé solo i portafogli necessari

Bitcoin consente di segregare i fondi in più portafogli, in modo da dover portare con sé solo le chiavi necessarie per piccole quantità di bitcoin. È possibile mettere al sicuro i propri risparmi in bitcoin in un multisig a freddo, pur continuando a portare con sé una parte di bitcoin in un portafoglio a caldo sul telefono, come BlueWallet o Muun.

Portando con sé solo le chiavi dei portafogli di cui si ha bisogno, è possibile spendere e ricevere bitcoin lasciando la maggior parte dei propri risparmi in un sistema sicuro di archiviazione a freddo, come il multisig, che elimina i singoli punti di guasto.

2. Considerate la vostra destinazione

Considerate la vostra destinazione e i vostri piani di viaggio quando valutate i rischi di viaggiare con le vostre chiavi bitcoin. Qual è il rischio relativo di criminalità nella vostra destinazione? La vostra destinazione è una nazione o una città ad alto tasso di criminalità? Come sarà l'ambiente circostante?

Se la destinazione presenta tassi di criminalità più elevati o piccoli furti dilaganti, si deve presumere che il telefono verrà rubato. Mantenete una buona sicurezza dello smartphone ed evitate di tenere le chiavi di quantità significative di bitcoin su quel dispositivo. Ridurre al minimo le potenziali perdite di bitcoin conservando solo piccole quantità nei portafogli mobili è una considerazione da fare, ma anche conservare le chiavi dei portafogli multisig sullo smartphone quando si viaggia può aumentare le possibilità di compromissione, rendendo necessaria una faticosa sostituzione della chiave.

Se vi recate a un evento in cui si presume il possesso di bitcoin, adattate il vostro modello di sicurezza all'ipotesi che tutti sappiano che possedete bitcoin. Ciò potrebbe significare assicurarsi che tutti i portafogli singleig abbiano una passphrase, oppure proteggere piccole quantità di bitcoin con multisig e distribuire le chiavi nei propri effetti personali durante il viaggio.

3. Evitare di viaggiare con backup di frasi seed

Dovreste sempre proteggere le vostre frasi seed, ma ricordate che sono il segreto non criptato di una determinata chiave, il che le rende molto più facili da compromettere rispetto a un portafoglio hardware. Mentre i dati della chiave privata del portafoglio hardware sono generalmente protetti all'interno di un elemento sicuro, dietro un PIN, e richiedono un PC per accedervi, i backup delle frasi seed sono più facili da rubare, copiare o fotografare fisicamente.

Se dovete viaggiare con backup di una frase seed

In alcune situazioni potrebbe essere necessario viaggiare con un backup della frase seed. Il trasferimento di residenze fisiche permanenti (abbiamo pubblicato una guida che dovreste leggere se questa è la vostra situazione) e il viaggio per impostare un elemento chiave conservato in modo sicuro in una configurazione multisig sono entrambi motivi ragionevoli per viaggiare con la vostra frase seed di 12 o 24 parole.

Se dovete viaggiare con una frase seed, ci sono cose che potete fare per ridurre al minimo la possibilità di esposizione e mantenere la tranquillità:

• Non dare nell'occhio durante i controlli aeroportuali: Mettete un backup cartaceo della frase seme all'interno di un libro, oppure dividete la frase seme scrivendola su un quaderno fisico utilizzando una convenzione che ricorderete. Evitate di usare serrature o custodie metalliche sospette. Se la vostra borsa viene controllata per sospetto, è molto più probabile che la vostra frase seme venga vista.
• Utilizzate una passphrase per i portafogli singlesig: I PIN possono proteggere un portafoglio hardware, ma una passphrase proteggerà la vostra seed phrase! Sebbene le passphrase siano generalmente rischiose rispetto ad altre configurazioni di custodia come il multisig, può avere senso usarne una con un portafoglio singlesig mentre si viaggia con una seed phrase, a patto che se ne faccia un backup adeguato (non affidatevi alla vostra memoria!).
• Approfittate dei compagni di viaggio: Considerate un portafoglio multisig (vedi sotto), date a un compagno di viaggio una frase seme, tenete una frase seme sulla vostra persona e conservate una frase seme in un portafoglio hardware nel bagaglio da stiva, ad esempio. Se dovete assolutamente assicurarvi che una frase seme sia già a destinazione, potete comprometterne una memorizzandola temporaneamente in un password manager prima di partire (vedi sotto).

4. Attenzione a ciò che si dice e si mostra

Prima che un aggressore possa attaccare, deve sapere chi sta cercando. È qui che entra in gioco la sicurezza operativa. Molti di questi consigli sono validi per il risparmio di ricchezza con i bitcoin in generale, ma sono particolarmente applicabili quando si viaggia.

In viaggio, si è spesso soggetti ai capricci di persone e ambienti che non si possono controllare. Sono situazioni più rischiose per rendere pubblicamente noto che si possono detenere quantità consistenti di bitcoin.

• Non parlate di bitcoin con persone di cui non vi fidate: Una delle cose più semplici da fare è semplicemente parlare meno di bitcoin! Siate prudenti quando “diffondete la parola”.
• Non mettete adesivi bitcoin sul vostro laptop o sui vostri dispositivi: Sono come grandi insegne al neon che dicono: “Questo dispositivo memorizza dati di chiavi private!”.
• Non indossate articoli legati ai bitcoin: Soprattutto nei luoghi in cui le persone sanno cosa cercare, indossare articoli o capi di abbigliamento con loghi bitcoin mette inutilmente un bersaglio sulla vostra schiena.
• Non parlate di quanti bitcoin possedete: È generalmente una buona idea condividere la quantità di bitcoin che si possiede solo in caso di necessità. Sapere di essere un obiettivo di valore elevato potrebbe indurre un aggressore a considerare azioni più estreme o rischiose.

In particolare, questi comportamenti possono creare rischi fisici quando si viaggia, anche se non si hanno a disposizione i dati della chiave privata. Se qualcuno cerca di aggredirvi con una chiave inglese da 5 dollari e voi non avete bitcoin da dargli, il vostro bitcoin potrebbe sopravvivere, ma le vostre rotule no!

5. Creare un portafoglio esca

Sia che si viaggi con un portafoglio hardware che con un portafoglio software, molti portafogli consentono di creare un portafoglio esca. I portafogli esca consentono di creare un secondo portafoglio, completamente separato da quello principale, che può essere attivato in caso di necessità. Con questi portafogli si aggiungono fondi che si è disposti a perdere, ma abbastanza significativi da far credere all'aggressore di aver ottenuto ciò che voleva.

Esistono diversi modi per configurare un portafoglio bitcoin di facciata:

1. Singlesig + passphrase
2. Utilizzo di una chiave in un quorum multisig
3. PIN di emergenza

Singlesig + passphrase

Con una passphrase, è possibile creare un portafoglio secondario che consentirebbe a un aggressore di accedere a un piccolo sottoinsieme dei vostri fondi. Si può anche fare in modo che il portafoglio principale sia un'esca, mentre si usa una passphrase per il portafoglio “vero”. Considerate sempre gli svantaggi dell'uso di una passphrase, tuttavia, e assicuratevi sempre di avere un backup corretto della vostra passphrase (è sensibile alle maiuscole e alle minuscole).

Multisig

Se si utilizza il multisig, a patto che si riesca a mantenere il segreto sul fatto che un determinato portafoglio hardware o una frase seme facciano parte di una configurazione multisig, è possibile proteggersi utilizzando una delle chiavi del quorum come esca. A tal fine, è sufficiente utilizzare un portafoglio hardware o software normalmente parte della configurazione multisig come portafoglio indipendente. Un aggressore potrebbe accedere ai fondi inviati al portafoglio singlesig associato a quel seme, senza accedere al portafoglio costruito con il multisig, e senza nemmeno saperlo.

PIN di emergenza

Alcuni produttori di portafogli consentono di impostare un PIN di emergenza. Con questa funzionalità, è possibile impostare un secondo PIN che consente a un aggressore di accedere a un secondo portafoglio esca. Se venite attaccati, date all'aggressore il PIN sbagliato e lasciategli il sottoinsieme più piccolo di fondi in quel portafoglio.

A titolo di esempio, il portafoglio hardware Coldcard offre tre tipi di PIN di emergenza: uno che sblocca un portafoglio esca, uno che distrugge il seme all'ingresso e uno che crea un conto alla rovescia verso “modalità mattone” personalizzabili. Questi strumenti offrono la certezza che gli aggressori non saranno in grado di accedere alle vostre chiavi bitcoin principali, se mai ce ne saranno.

6. Considerare il multisig per eliminare i singoli punti di rottura

La funzione multisig nativa di Bitcoin può aiutare a creare portafogli esca, ma è anche un potente strumento per mitigare il rischio di viaggio in generale. Forse avete bisogno di viaggiare con le chiavi private, ma volete evitare il singolo punto di guasto dei portafogli singleig. Viaggiare con tre portafogli hardware, ciascuno dei quali contiene una chiave in un quorum multisig, può contribuire a ridurre il rischio.

Il multisig offre molte possibilità uniche se si è in viaggio. Ognuna delle seguenti ha implicazioni per la sicurezza e compromessi da considerare che esulano dallo scopo di questo articolo, ma che si possono considerare:

• Distribuire le chiavi detenute durante il viaggio: È possibile viaggiare in aereo con un sistema multisig 2 su 3, in cui una chiave si trova sulla propria persona, un'altra in uno scomparto segreto nel bagaglio a mano e una terza chiave e una frase seed di backup distribuite geograficamente in altri luoghi sicuri. In questo modo le tre chiavi sono separate e due di esse devono essere riunite per spendere i fondi.
• Memorizzare digitalmente una frase seme: compromettere temporaneamente una frase seme memorizzandola in un password manager assicura che almeno un backup della frase seme del quorum multisig sia già a destinazione. Quando si arriva a destinazione, è possibile effettuare una sostituzione della chiave per qualsiasi frase seminale temporaneamente memorizzata su un dispositivo connesso a Internet.
• Spedire per posta un portafoglio hardware o una frase seme: se si viaggia con ingenti fondi in bitcoin e non si vuole esporsi a furti per attacchi fisici in un multisig 2 su 3 durante il viaggio, ad esempio, è possibile spedire per posta un portafoglio hardware o una frase seme a destinazione, portare con sé una chiave ed essere ancora in grado di spendere i fondi quando si arriva.
• Il partner controfirma: Un partner di custodia, sia esso un istituto finanziario come Unchained o una terza parte fidata, può coordinarsi con voi per firmare le transazioni durante il viaggio se volete viaggiare con una minoranza di chiavi in multisig.

Potete usare uno strumento come Sparrow, Electrum o il nostro Caravan per costruire da soli portafogli multisig, e se avete bisogno di aiuto per impostare il multisig o per capire le migliori pratiche di viaggio nel contesto della custodia collaborativa, abbiamo un team che può aiutarvi.

7. Avere un piano di successione

È una buona idea per tutti coloro che possiedono un consistente patrimonio in bitcoin avere un piano di successione, ma questo vale soprattutto quando si viaggia. Se dovesse succedere qualcosa mentre si è in viaggio, si vuole essere tranquilli sapendo che i propri bitcoin passeranno di diritto ai parenti più prossimi senza problemi.

Questo sarebbe molto difficile se si viaggiasse con il proprio bitcoin in custodia in un portafoglio singlesig, ma il multisig - e ancora meglio per scopi ereditari, includendo un partner per la custodia collaborativa nella configurazione multisig - può darvi il meglio di tutti i mondi: un comodo accesso ai vostri bitcoin in custodia e la tranquillità di sapere che se ne prenderà cura in vostra assenza.

Abbiamo già scritto un articolo in cui spieghiamo come impostare un piano di eredità per i vostri bitcoin, se volete prenderlo in considerazione prima di partire.

Ulteriori considerazioni sulla sicurezza dei bitcoin

Le procedure di viaggio sono importanti, ma c'è molto di più sulla sicurezza delle chiavi bitcoin. Non dimenticate di consultare le nostre guide sulle migliori pratiche per l'archiviazione delle frasi seminali, sui compromessi tra backup cartacei e backup metallici delle frasi seminali e, se utilizzate il multisig, sulla corretta sicurezza delle informazioni di configurazione del vostro portafoglio e sui principi di archiviazione delle frasi seminali nelle cassette di sicurezza.

Tradotto dall’originale di Friedrich A. Hayek - pubblicato il 1 mag 1996

Se volete imparare il più possibile sull'economia da un solo articolo, leggete “L'uso della conoscenza nella società” di Friedrich A. Hayek, pubblicato nel numero di settembre 1945 della American Economic Review. In primo luogo, nessun altro articolo spiega il problema economico con la stessa chiarezza. In secondo luogo, nessuno fornisce una migliore comprensione della superiorità delle economie di mercato. In terzo luogo, espone una delle più deplorevoli fallacie dell'approccio standard all'insegnamento dell'economia. Infine, getta un riflettore sulla pericolosa ignoranza della pianificazione economica.

Hayek sottolinea che un'allocazione sensata di risorse scarse richiede conoscenze disperse tra molte persone, senza che nessun individuo o gruppo di esperti sia in grado di acquisirle tutte. Un processo decisionale economico informato richiede che le persone possano agire sulla base delle informazioni di “tempo e luogo” che solo loro possiedono, fornendo al contempo un sistema di comunicazione che ci motivi e ci informi su come farlo al meglio. Gli scambi di mercato e i prezzi generano le informazioni e la motivazione. Eppure agli studenti di economia viene sempre insegnato che il mercato funziona correttamente solo se tutti i partecipanti hanno una conoscenza perfetta. Si tratta di un'assurdità, come spiega Hayek. Se tutti avessero una conoscenza perfetta, le ragioni del mercato scomparirebbero in gran parte. Il mercato è essenziale proprio perché permette alle persone di beneficiare di una conoscenza ampiamente dispersa quando nessuno possiede più del più piccolo frammento di quella conoscenza, nemmeno i pianificatori governativi. Ogni volta che un piano governativo limita lo scambio di mercato, l'ignoranza viene sostituita dalla conoscenza.

Leggete l'articolo di Hayek e affronterete le vostre letture future con una prospettiva più informata su ciò che riguarda l'economia.

I

Qual è il problema che vogliamo risolvere quando cerchiamo di costruire un ordine economico razionale? In base ad alcuni presupposti noti, la risposta è abbastanza semplice. Se possediamo tutte le informazioni rilevanti, se possiamo partire da un sistema di preferenze dato e se abbiamo una conoscenza completa dei mezzi disponibili, il problema che rimane è puramente logico. Cioè, la risposta alla domanda su quale sia l'uso migliore dei mezzi disponibili è implicita nelle nostre ipotesi. Le condizioni che la soluzione di questo problema ottimale deve soddisfare sono state elaborate in modo esauriente e possono essere enunciate al meglio in forma matematica: in sintesi, esse consistono nel fatto che i tassi marginali di sostituzione tra due merci o fattori devono essere gli stessi in tutti i loro diversi usi.

Questo, però, non è assolutamente il problema economico che la società deve affrontare. E il calcolo economico che abbiamo sviluppato per risolvere questo problema logico, sebbene sia un passo importante verso la soluzione del problema economico della società, non fornisce ancora una risposta. Il motivo è che i “dati” da cui parte il calcolo economico non sono mai “dati” per l'intera società a una singola mente che possa elaborarne le implicazioni e non potranno mai essere dati.

Il carattere peculiare del problema di un ordine economico razionale è determinato proprio dal fatto che la conoscenza delle circostanze di cui dobbiamo fare uso non esiste mai in forma concentrata o integrata, ma solo come frammenti dispersi di conoscenza incompleta e spesso contraddittoria che tutti gli individui separati possiedono. Il problema economico della società non è quindi solo un problema di come allocare le risorse “date” - se per “date” si intende date a una singola mente che risolve deliberatamente il problema posto da questi “dati”. È piuttosto un problema di come assicurare il miglior uso delle risorse conosciute da qualsiasi membro della società, per fini la cui importanza relativa è nota solo a questi individui. O, per dirla in breve, è un problema di utilizzo della conoscenza che non è data a nessuno nella sua totalità.

Temo che questo carattere del problema fondamentale sia stato oscurato piuttosto che illuminato da molti dei recenti perfezionamenti della teoria economica, in particolare da molti degli usi fatti della matematica. Sebbene il problema di cui voglio occuparmi principalmente in questo articolo sia quello di un'organizzazione economica razionale, nel corso della trattazione sarò portato più volte a sottolineare le sue strette connessioni con alcune questioni metodologiche. Molti dei punti che desidero sottolineare sono in effetti conclusioni verso le quali sono inaspettatamente confluiti diversi percorsi di ragionamento. Ma, per come vedo ora questi problemi, non si tratta di un caso. Mi sembra che molte delle attuali controversie in materia di teoria economica e di politica economica abbiano la loro origine comune in un'errata concezione della natura del problema economico della società. Questo equivoco, a sua volta, è dovuto a un errato trasferimento ai fenomeni sociali delle abitudini di pensiero che abbiamo sviluppato nel trattare i fenomeni della natura.

II

Nel linguaggio comune, con la parola “pianificazione” descriviamo il complesso di decisioni interrelate sull'allocazione delle risorse disponibili. Tutta l'attività economica è in questo senso una pianificazione; e in qualsiasi società in cui molte persone collaborano, questa pianificazione, chiunque la faccia, dovrà in qualche misura basarsi su una conoscenza che, in prima istanza, non è data al pianificatore ma a qualcun altro, che in qualche modo dovrà essere trasmessa al pianificatore. I vari modi in cui la conoscenza su cui le persone basano i loro piani viene loro comunicata è il problema cruciale per qualsiasi teoria che spieghi il processo economico, e il problema di quale sia il modo migliore di utilizzare la conoscenza inizialmente dispersa tra tutte le persone è almeno uno dei problemi principali della politica economica, o della progettazione di un sistema economico efficiente.

La risposta a questa domanda è strettamente legata all'altra questione che si pone, quella di chi deve fare la pianificazione. È su questa domanda che si concentra tutta la controversia sulla “pianificazione economica”. Non si tratta di una disputa sul fatto che la pianificazione debba essere fatta o meno. È una disputa sul fatto che la pianificazione debba essere fatta a livello centrale, da un'unica autorità per l'intero sistema economico, o debba essere suddivisa tra molti individui. La pianificazione, nel senso specifico in cui il termine viene usato nella controversia contemporanea, significa necessariamente pianificazione centrale, ovvero direzione dell'intero sistema economico secondo un piano unificato. La concorrenza, invece, significa pianificazione decentralizzata da parte di molte persone distinte. La via di mezzo tra le due, di cui molti parlano ma che a pochi piace quando la vedono, è la delega della pianificazione alle industrie organizzate o, in altre parole, il monopolio.

Quale di questi sistemi sia più efficiente dipende principalmente dalla domanda in base alla quale ci si può aspettare che venga fatto un uso più completo delle conoscenze esistenti. E questo, a sua volta, dipende dal fatto se è più probabile che si riesca a mettere a disposizione di un'unica autorità centrale tutte le conoscenze che dovrebbero essere utilizzate, ma che inizialmente sono disperse tra molti individui diversi, oppure che si riesca a trasmettere agli individui quelle conoscenze aggiuntive di cui hanno bisogno per consentire loro di adattare i loro piani a quelli degli altri.

III

Sarà subito evidente che su questo punto la posizione sarà diversa rispetto ai diversi tipi di conoscenza; e la risposta alla nostra domanda dipenderà quindi in larga misura dall'importanza relativa dei diversi tipi di conoscenza: quelli che è più probabile che siano a disposizione di individui particolari e quelli che dovremmo aspettarci con maggiore sicurezza di trovare in possesso di un'autorità composta da esperti opportunamente scelti. Se oggi si dà per scontato che questi ultimi siano in una posizione migliore, è perché un tipo di conoscenza, quella scientifica, occupa oggi un posto così importante nell'immaginario collettivo che si tende a dimenticare che non è l'unico tipo di conoscenza rilevante. Si può ammettere che, per quanto riguarda la conoscenza scientifica, un corpo di esperti opportunamente scelti può essere nella posizione migliore per comandare tutte le migliori conoscenze disponibili - anche se questo, ovviamente, non fa altro che spostare la difficoltà sul problema della selezione degli esperti. Quello che vorrei sottolineare è che, anche ammettendo che questo problema possa essere facilmente risolto, è solo una piccola parte del problema più ampio.

Oggi è quasi un'eresia suggerire che la conoscenza scientifica non è la somma di tutte le conoscenze. Ma un po' di riflessione mostrerà che c'è senza dubbio un corpo di conoscenze molto importanti ma non organizzate che non possono essere definite scientifiche nel senso di conoscenza di regole generali: la conoscenza delle circostanze particolari del tempo e del luogo. È a questo proposito che praticamente ogni individuo è avvantaggiato rispetto a tutti gli altri, perché possiede informazioni uniche di cui si può fare un uso vantaggioso, ma che possono essere utilizzate solo se le decisioni che dipendono da esse sono lasciate a lui o sono prese con la sua attiva collaborazione. Dobbiamo solo ricordare quanto dobbiamo imparare in qualsiasi occupazione dopo aver completato la nostra formazione teorica, quanta parte della nostra vita lavorativa dedichiamo all'apprendimento di particolari lavori e quanto sia preziosa, in tutti i settori della vita, la conoscenza delle persone, delle condizioni locali e delle circostanze particolari. Conoscere e mettere a frutto un macchinario non pienamente utilizzato, o l'abilità di qualcuno che potrebbe essere sfruttata meglio, o essere a conoscenza di un surplus di scorte a cui attingere durante un'interruzione dei rifornimenti, è socialmente utile quanto la conoscenza di tecniche alternative migliori. E lo spedizioniere che si guadagna da vivere sfruttando viaggi altrimenti vuoti o mezzi pieni di navi da carico, o l'agente immobiliare la cui conoscenza è quasi esclusivamente un'opportunità temporanea, o l'arbitraggista che guadagna dalle differenze locali dei prezzi delle merci, svolgono tutti funzioni eminentemente utili basate su una conoscenza speciale di circostanze dell'attimo fuggente non note ad altri.

È curioso che questo tipo di conoscenza sia oggi generalmente considerata con una sorta di disprezzo e che si pensi che chiunque, grazie a tale conoscenza, ottenga un vantaggio rispetto a qualcuno più dotato di conoscenze teoriche o tecniche, abbia agito in modo quasi disonesto. Ottenere un vantaggio da una migliore conoscenza delle strutture di comunicazione o di trasporto è talvolta considerato quasi disonesto, anche se è altrettanto importante che la società si avvalga delle migliori opportunità in questo senso come nell'utilizzo delle ultime scoperte scientifiche. Questo pregiudizio ha influenzato in misura considerevole l'atteggiamento verso il commercio in generale rispetto a quello verso la produzione. Anche gli economisti che si considerano definitivamente immuni dalle grossolane fallacie materialiste del passato commettono costantemente lo stesso errore quando si tratta di attività dirette all'acquisizione di tali conoscenze pratiche - evidentemente perché nel loro schema di cose si suppone che tutte queste conoscenze siano “date”. L'idea comune oggi sembra essere quella che tutte queste conoscenze debbano essere facilmente accessibili a tutti, e il rimprovero di irrazionalità mosso all'ordine economico esistente si basa spesso sul fatto che non sono così disponibili. Questo punto di vista non tiene conto del fatto che il metodo per rendere tali conoscenze il più possibile disponibili è proprio il problema a cui dobbiamo trovare una risposta.

IV

Se oggi è di moda minimizzare l'importanza della conoscenza delle circostanze particolari di tempo e di luogo, ciò è strettamente legato alla minore importanza che oggi viene attribuita al cambiamento in quanto tale. In effetti, sono pochi i punti in cui le ipotesi formulate (di solito solo implicitamente) dai “pianificatori” differiscono da quelle dei loro avversari quanto l'importanza e la frequenza dei cambiamenti che renderanno necessarie modifiche sostanziali dei piani di produzione. Naturalmente, se si potessero stabilire in anticipo piani economici dettagliati per periodi abbastanza lunghi e poi rispettarli strettamente, in modo da non richiedere ulteriori decisioni economiche di rilievo, il compito di elaborare un piano globale che regoli tutta l'attività economica sarebbe molto meno formidabile.

Vale forse la pena di sottolineare che i problemi economici sorgono sempre e solo in conseguenza del cambiamento. Finché le cose continuano come prima, o almeno come ci si aspettava, non sorgono nuovi problemi che richiedano una decisione, né la necessità di elaborare un nuovo piano. La convinzione che i cambiamenti, o almeno gli aggiustamenti quotidiani, siano diventati meno importanti nei tempi moderni implica la convinzione che anche i problemi economici siano diventati meno importanti. Questa convinzione della minore importanza del cambiamento è, per questo motivo, di solito sostenuta dalle stesse persone che affermano che l'importanza delle considerazioni economiche è stata messa in secondo piano dalla crescente importanza della conoscenza tecnologica.

È vero che, con l'elaborato apparato della produzione moderna, le decisioni economiche sono necessarie solo a lunghi intervalli, come quando si deve costruire una nuova fabbrica o introdurre un nuovo processo? È vero che, una volta costruito un impianto, il resto è tutto più o meno meccanico, determinato dal carattere dell'impianto e che lascia poco da cambiare per adattarsi alle circostanze sempre diverse del momento?

La convinzione affermativa, piuttosto diffusa, non è, per quanto posso accertare, confermata dall'esperienza pratica dell'uomo d'affari. In un'industria comunque competitiva - e solo questa può servire da test - il compito di evitare che i costi aumentino richiede una lotta costante, che assorbe gran parte dell'energia del manager. Quanto sia facile per un manager inefficiente dissipare i differenziali su cui si basa la redditività e quanto sia possibile, con le stesse strutture tecniche, produrre con una grande varietà di costi, sono tra i luoghi comuni dell'esperienza aziendale che non sembrano essere altrettanto familiari nello studio dell'economista. La forza stessa del desiderio, costantemente espresso da produttori e ingegneri, di poter procedere senza essere condizionati da considerazioni sui costi monetari, è una testimonianza eloquente della misura in cui questi fattori entrano nel loro lavoro quotidiano.

Uno dei motivi per cui gli economisti sono sempre più inclini a dimenticare i piccoli cambiamenti costanti che costituiscono l'intero quadro economico è probabilmente la loro crescente preoccupazione per gli aggregati statistici, che mostrano una stabilità molto maggiore rispetto ai movimenti del dettaglio. La stabilità comparativa degli aggregati, tuttavia, non può essere spiegata - come gli statistici sembrano talvolta inclini a fare - con la “legge dei grandi numeri” o con la reciproca compensazione dei cambiamenti casuali. Il numero di elementi con cui abbiamo a che fare non è abbastanza grande perché tali forze accidentali producano stabilità. Il flusso continuo di beni e servizi è mantenuto da costanti aggiustamenti deliberati, da nuove disposizioni prese ogni giorno alla luce di circostanze non conosciute il giorno prima, da B che interviene subito quando A non riesce a consegnare. Anche un impianto di grandi dimensioni e altamente meccanizzato va avanti soprattutto grazie a un ambiente a cui può attingere per ogni sorta di necessità imprevista: tegole per il tetto, cancelleria per i moduli e tutti i mille e uno tipi di attrezzature in cui non può essere autonomo e che i piani per il funzionamento dell'impianto richiedono di essere prontamente disponibili sul mercato.

Questo è forse anche il punto in cui dovrei menzionare brevemente il fatto che il tipo di conoscenza di cui mi sono occupato è una conoscenza che per sua natura non può entrare nelle statistiche e quindi non può essere trasmessa a nessuna autorità centrale in forma statistica. Le statistiche che un'autorità centrale dovrebbe utilizzare dovrebbero essere ottenute proprio astraendo dalle piccole differenze tra le cose, mettendo insieme, come risorse di un unico tipo, elementi che differiscono per ubicazione, qualità e altri particolari, in un modo che può essere molto significativo per la decisione specifica. Ne consegue che la pianificazione centrale basata su informazioni statistiche, per sua natura, non può tenere conto direttamente di queste circostanze di tempo e di luogo e che il pianificatore centrale dovrà trovare un modo o l'altro per lasciare all'“uomo sul posto” le decisioni che dipendono da esse.

Se siamo d'accordo sul fatto che il problema economico della società è principalmente quello di un rapido adattamento ai cambiamenti nelle particolari circostanze di tempo e di luogo, ne consegue che le decisioni finali devono essere lasciate alle persone che hanno familiarità con queste circostanze, che conoscono direttamente i cambiamenti rilevanti e le risorse immediatamente disponibili per farvi fronte. Non possiamo aspettarci che questo problema venga risolto comunicando prima tutte queste conoscenze a un consiglio centrale che, dopo averle integrate, emetta i suoi ordini. Dobbiamo risolverlo con una forma di decentramento. Ma questo risponde solo a una parte del problema. Abbiamo bisogno del decentramento perché solo così possiamo assicurarci che la conoscenza delle particolari circostanze di tempo e di luogo venga prontamente utilizzata. Ma l'“uomo sul posto” non può decidere solo sulla base della sua limitata ma intima conoscenza dei fatti del suo ambiente immediato. Rimane ancora il problema di comunicargli le ulteriori informazioni di cui ha bisogno per inserire le sue decisioni nell'intero schema dei cambiamenti del sistema economico più ampio.

Di quante conoscenze ha bisogno per farlo con successo? Quali eventi che accadono al di là dell'orizzonte della sua conoscenza immediata sono rilevanti per la sua decisione immediata, e quanto di essi deve conoscere?

Non c'è quasi nulla che accada in qualsiasi parte del mondo che non abbia un effetto sulla decisione che deve prendere. Ma non è necessario che egli conosca questi eventi in quanto tali, né tutti i loro effetti. Per lui non è importante sapere perché in un determinato momento sono richieste più viti di una certa dimensione che di un'altra, perché i sacchetti di carta sono più facilmente disponibili di quelli di tela, o perché la manodopera specializzata, o particolari macchine utensili, sono diventate al momento più difficili da ottenere. Tutto ciò che conta per lui è quanto più o meno difficile sia diventato procurarseli rispetto ad altre cose di cui si occupa anche lui, o quanto più o meno urgenti siano le cose alternative che produce o usa. È sempre una questione di importanza relativa delle cose particolari di cui si occupa, e le cause che alterano la loro importanza relativa non lo interessano oltre all'effetto su quelle cose concrete del suo ambiente.

È a questo proposito che quello che ho chiamato il “calcolo economico” vero e proprio ci aiuta, almeno per analogia, a vedere come questo problema possa essere risolto, e di fatto viene risolto, dal sistema dei prezzi. Anche una singola mente di controllo, in possesso di tutti i dati di un piccolo sistema economico autonomo, non passerebbe in rassegna esplicitamente tutte le relazioni tra fini e mezzi che potrebbero essere influenzate ogni volta che si deve effettuare un piccolo aggiustamento nell'allocazione delle risorse. Il grande contributo della logica pura della scelta è proprio quello di aver dimostrato in modo definitivo che anche una singola mente potrebbe risolvere questo tipo di problema solo costruendo e utilizzando costantemente tassi di equivalenza (o “valori”, o “tassi marginali di sostituzione”), cioè attribuendo a ogni tipo di risorsa scarsa un indice numerico che non può essere derivato da alcuna proprietà posseduta da quella particolare cosa, ma che riflette, o in cui è condensato, il suo significato in vista dell'intera struttura mezzi-fini. In ogni piccolo cambiamento egli dovrà considerare solo questi indici quantitativi (o “valori”) in cui si concentrano tutte le informazioni rilevanti; e, aggiustando le quantità una per una, potrà riorganizzare in modo appropriato le sue disposizioni senza dover risolvere l'intero puzzle ab initio o senza doverlo esaminare subito in tutte le sue ramificazioni.

Fondamentalmente, in un sistema in cui la conoscenza dei fatti rilevanti è dispersa tra molte persone, i prezzi possono agire per coordinare le azioni separate di persone diverse nello stesso modo in cui i valori soggettivi aiutano l'individuo a coordinare le parti del suo piano. Vale la pena di contemplare per un momento un caso molto semplice e banale dell'azione del sistema dei prezzi per vedere cosa realizza precisamente. Supponiamo che da qualche parte nel mondo sia sorta una nuova opportunità per l'utilizzo di una materia prima, ad esempio lo stagno, o che una delle fonti di approvvigionamento dello stagno sia stata eliminata. Ai nostri fini non importa - ed è molto significativo che non importi - quale di queste due cause abbia reso lo stagno più scarso. Tutto ciò che gli utilizzatori di stagno devono sapere è che una parte dello stagno che consumavano è ora impiegata in modo più redditizio altrove e che, di conseguenza, devono risparmiare stagno. La grande maggioranza di loro non ha nemmeno bisogno di sapere dove è sorto il bisogno più urgente, o a favore di quali altri bisogni dovrebbero ridurre la fornitura. Se solo alcuni di loro conoscono direttamente la nuova domanda e vi destinano risorse, e se le persone che sono consapevoli della nuova lacuna così creata la colmano a loro volta da altre fonti, l'effetto si diffonderà rapidamente in tutto il sistema economico e influenzerà non solo tutti gli usi dello stagno, ma anche quelli dei suoi sostituti e i sostituti di questi sostituti, l'offerta di tutte le cose fatte di stagno e i loro sostituti, e così via; e tutto questo senza che la grande maggioranza di coloro che contribuiscono a determinare queste sostituzioni sappia nulla della causa originale di questi cambiamenti. L'insieme agisce come un unico mercato, non perché uno qualsiasi dei suoi membri esamini l'intero campo, ma perché i loro limitati campi visivi individuali si sovrappongono sufficientemente in modo che, attraverso molti intermediari, le informazioni rilevanti vengano comunicate a tutti. Il semplice fatto che esista un unico prezzo per qualsiasi merce - o piuttosto che i prezzi locali siano collegati in modo determinato dal costo del trasporto, eccetera - porta alla soluzione che (è solo concettualmente possibile) potrebbe essere stata raggiunta da un'unica mente in possesso di tutte le informazioni che in realtà sono disperse tra tutte le persone coinvolte nel processo.

VI

Per comprendere la sua reale funzione, dobbiamo considerare il sistema dei prezzi come un meccanismo di comunicazione delle informazioni, funzione che, ovviamente, svolge in modo meno perfetto man mano che i prezzi diventano più rigidi (anche quando i prezzi quotati sono diventati abbastanza rigidi, tuttavia, le forze che opererebbero attraverso le variazioni di prezzo continuano a operare in misura considerevole attraverso le variazioni degli altri termini del contratto). Il fatto più significativo di questo sistema è l'economia di conoscenza con cui opera, ovvero quanto poco devono sapere i singoli partecipanti per poter intraprendere l'azione giusta. In forma abbreviata, attraverso una sorta di simbolo, vengono trasmesse solo le informazioni più essenziali e solo agli interessati. È più di una metafora descrivere il sistema dei prezzi come una sorta di macchinario per registrare il cambiamento, o un sistema di telecomunicazioni che consente ai singoli produttori di osservare semplicemente il movimento di alcuni indicatori, come un ingegnere potrebbe osservare le lancette di alcuni quadranti, al fine di adeguare le proprie attività a cambiamenti di cui non potranno mai sapere più di quanto si rifletta nel movimento dei prezzi.

Naturalmente, questi aggiustamenti probabilmente non sono mai “perfetti” nel senso in cui li concepisce l'economista nella sua analisi di equilibrio. Ma temo che la nostra abitudine teorica di affrontare il problema con l'ipotesi di una conoscenza più o meno perfetta da parte di quasi tutti ci abbia reso un po' ciechi rispetto alla vera funzione del meccanismo dei prezzi e ci abbia portato ad applicare standard piuttosto fuorvianti nel giudicare la sua efficienza. La meraviglia è che in un caso come quello della scarsità di una materia prima, senza che venga emesso un ordine, senza che più di una manciata di persone ne conoscano la causa, decine di migliaia di persone, la cui identità non potrebbe essere accertata con mesi di indagini, siano indotte a utilizzare la materia o i suoi prodotti con maggiore parsimonia; cioè, si muovono nella giusta direzione. Questo è già un miracolo, anche se, in un mondo in continua evoluzione, non tutti si troveranno così bene da mantenere i loro tassi di profitto sempre allo stesso livello costante o “normale”.

Ho usato deliberatamente la parola “meraviglia” per scuotere il lettore dalla compiacenza con cui spesso diamo per scontato il funzionamento di questo meccanismo. Sono convinto che se fosse il risultato di un disegno umano deliberato, e se le persone guidate dalle variazioni di prezzo capissero che le loro decisioni hanno un significato che va ben oltre il loro scopo immediato, questo meccanismo sarebbe stato acclamato come uno dei più grandi trionfi della mente umana. La sua sfortuna è duplice: non è il prodotto di un progetto umano e le persone guidate da esso di solito non sanno perché sono costrette a fare ciò che fanno. Ma coloro che chiedono a gran voce una “direzione consapevole” - e che non possono credere che qualcosa che si è evoluto senza un progetto (e persino senza che noi lo comprendessimo) debba risolvere problemi che non dovremmo essere in grado di risolvere consapevolmente - dovrebbero ricordarlo: Il problema è proprio come estendere la portata del nostro utilizzo delle risorse al di là della portata del controllo di una singola mente; e quindi, come fare a meno della necessità di un controllo cosciente e come fornire incentivi che facciano fare agli individui le cose desiderabili senza che nessuno debba dire loro cosa fare.

Il problema che incontriamo qui non è affatto peculiare dell'economia, ma si pone in relazione a quasi tutti i fenomeni veramente sociali, al linguaggio e alla maggior parte della nostra eredità culturale, e costituisce davvero il problema teorico centrale di tutte le scienze sociali. Come ha detto Alfred Whitehead in un altro contesto, “è un'ovvietà profondamente errata, ripetuta da tutti i libri di testo e da persone eminenti quando fanno discorsi, che dovremmo coltivare l'abitudine di pensare a ciò che stiamo facendo. È esattamente il contrario. La civiltà progredisce ampliando il numero di operazioni importanti che possiamo compiere senza pensarci”.

Questo ha un significato profondo in campo sociale. Facciamo un uso costante di formule, simboli e regole di cui non comprendiamo il significato e attraverso le quali ci avvaliamo dell'aiuto di conoscenze che individualmente non possediamo. Abbiamo sviluppato queste pratiche e istituzioni basandoci su abitudini e istituzioni che si sono dimostrate vincenti nel loro ambito e che a loro volta sono diventate le fondamenta della civiltà che abbiamo costruito.

Il sistema dei prezzi è solo una di quelle formazioni che l'uomo ha imparato a usare (anche se è ancora molto lontano dall'aver imparato a farne l'uso migliore) dopo essersi imbattuto in esso senza comprenderlo. Attraverso di essa è diventata possibile non solo una divisione del lavoro, ma anche un utilizzo coordinato delle risorse basato su una conoscenza equamente suddivisa. Le persone che amano deridere qualsiasi suggerimento in tal senso di solito distorcono l'argomentazione insinuando che essa asserisca che per miracolo sia cresciuto spontaneamente proprio quel tipo di sistema che meglio si adatta alla civiltà moderna. È il contrario: l'uomo ha potuto sviluppare la divisione del lavoro su cui si basa la nostra civiltà perché si è imbattuto in un metodo che l'ha resa possibile. Se non l'avesse fatto, avrebbe potuto sviluppare un altro tipo di civiltà, completamente diverso, come lo “stato” delle formiche termiti, o un altro tipo del tutto inimmaginabile. Tutto ciò che possiamo dire è che nessuno è ancora riuscito a progettare un sistema alternativo in cui si possano conservare alcune caratteristiche di quello esistente che stanno a cuore anche a coloro che lo attaccano più violentemente - come, in particolare, la misura in cui l'individuo può scegliere le proprie attività e, di conseguenza, utilizzare liberamente le proprie conoscenze e abilità.

VII

È per molti versi una fortuna che la disputa sull'indispensabilità del sistema dei prezzi per qualsiasi calcolo razionale in una società complessa non sia più condotta interamente tra schieramenti che hanno opinioni politiche diverse. La tesi secondo cui senza il sistema dei prezzi non potremmo conservare una società basata su una divisione del lavoro così estesa come la nostra fu accolta con un urlo di scherno quando fu avanzata per la prima volta da von Mises venticinque anni fa. Oggi le difficoltà che alcuni ancora trovano nell'accettarlo non sono più principalmente politiche, e questo rende l'atmosfera molto più favorevole a una discussione ragionevole. Quando Leon Trotsky sostiene che “la contabilità economica è impensabile senza relazioni di mercato”; quando il professor Oscar Lange promette al professor von Mises una statua nelle sale di marmo del futuro Consiglio Centrale di Pianificazione; e quando il professor Abba P. Lerner riscopre Adam Smith e sottolinea che l'utilità essenziale del sistema dei prezzi consiste nell'indurre l'individuo, pur cercando il proprio interesse, a fare ciò che è nell'interesse generale, le differenze non possono più essere attribuite a pregiudizi politici. Il restante dissenso sembra chiaramente dovuto a differenze puramente intellettuali, e più in particolare metodologiche.

Una recente dichiarazione del professor Joseph Schumpeter nel suo Capitalismo, socialismo e democrazia fornisce una chiara illustrazione di una delle differenze metodologiche che ho in mente. Il suo autore è il primo tra gli economisti che si avvicinano ai fenomeni economici alla luce di una certa branca del positivismo. Per lui questi fenomeni appaiono quindi come quantità oggettivamente date di merci che impattano direttamente l'una sull'altra, quasi, sembrerebbe, senza alcun intervento della mente umana. Solo in questo contesto posso spiegare il seguente (per me sorprendente) pronunciamento. Il professor Schumpeter sostiene che la possibilità di un calcolo razionale in assenza di mercati per i fattori di produzione deriva per il teorico “dalla proposizione elementare che i consumatori, nel valutare (”esigere“) i beni di consumo, valutano ipso facto anche i mezzi di produzione che entrano nella produzione di questi beni.” [1]

Presa alla lettera, questa affermazione è semplicemente falsa. I consumatori non fanno nulla del genere. L'espressione “ipso facto” del professor Schumpeter significa presumibilmente che la valutazione dei fattori di produzione è implicita o deriva necessariamente dalla valutazione dei beni dei consumatori. Ma anche questo non è corretto. L'implicazione è una relazione logica che può essere affermata in modo significativo solo per proposizioni simultaneamente presenti a una stessa mente. È evidente, tuttavia, che i valori dei fattori di produzione non dipendono solo dalla valutazione dei beni dei consumatori, ma anche dalle condizioni di fornitura dei vari fattori di produzione. Solo una mente in cui tutti questi fatti fossero noti contemporaneamente potrebbe trovare la risposta in base ai fatti che le sono stati forniti. Il problema pratico, tuttavia, sorge proprio perché questi fatti non sono mai così noti a una sola mente e perché, di conseguenza, è necessario che nella soluzione del problema si utilizzino conoscenze disperse tra molte persone.

Il problema, quindi, non è affatto risolto se riusciamo a dimostrare che tutti i fatti, se fossero noti a un'unica mente (come ipoteticamente supponiamo siano dati all'economista osservatore), determinerebbero in modo univoco la soluzione; dobbiamo invece mostrare come una soluzione sia prodotta dalle interazioni di persone ciascuna delle quali possiede solo una conoscenza parziale. Assumere che tutta la conoscenza sia data a un'unica mente nello stesso modo in cui assumiamo che sia data a noi economisti spiegatori significa assumere il problema e ignorare tutto ciò che è importante e significativo nel mondo reale.

Il fatto che un economista del calibro del professor Schumpeter sia caduto nella trappola che l'ambiguità del termine “dato” tende agli incauti non può essere spiegato come un semplice errore. Suggerisce piuttosto che c'è qualcosa di fondamentalmente sbagliato in un approccio che abitualmente ignora una parte essenziale dei fenomeni con cui abbiamo a che fare: l'inevitabile imperfezione della conoscenza dell'uomo e la conseguente necessità di un processo attraverso il quale la conoscenza viene costantemente comunicata e acquisita. Qualsiasi approccio, come quello di gran parte dell'economia matematica con le sue equazioni simultanee, che in effetti parte dal presupposto che la conoscenza delle persone corrisponda ai fatti oggettivi della situazione, tralascia sistematicamente quello che è il nostro compito principale di spiegare. Non nego che nel nostro sistema l'analisi dell'equilibrio abbia una funzione utile da svolgere. Ma quando arriva al punto di indurre alcuni dei nostri principali pensatori a credere che la situazione che descrive abbia una rilevanza diretta per la soluzione di problemi pratici, è giunto il momento di ricordare che non si occupa affatto del processo sociale e che non è altro che un utile preliminare allo studio del problema principale.

Recently, the district0x network has garnered significant attention in the industry. Below is a comprehensive introduction to this project for users.

Getting to Know the district0x Network: Creating a Frictionless Virtual Economy Compatible with Highly Developed Free Markets The district0x network is a collective comprised of decentralized and autonomous markets and communities, also known as districts. These districts are built on a decentralized and distributed open-source framework, powered by the d0xINFRA network driven by Ethereum smart contracts. The goal of the district0x network is to create a frictionless virtual economy, enabling users to easily make purchasing and selling decisions, complete transactions, and even rank other users. district0x aims to develop a flexible, liberated marketplace with advanced entrepreneurial concepts.

The district0x infrastructure is ingeniously designed, with one clear feature being the staking interface. This interface allows DNT holders to exercise open control over all listed markets through the Aragon governance layer. Upon creating a district, an Aragon entity is also created, which users can interact with to engage in the staking mechanism. By staking, users gain voting power within that district. With the creation interface, individuals can remove centralized power structures from any market without requiring additional development or programming skills. This can be likened to WordPress for dApps, where launched districts resemble WordPress templates, and auxiliary modules resemble WordPress plugins used for extending functionality.

While it’s challenging to directly purchase lesser-known cryptocurrencies from crypto exchanges using fiat currency (such as USD or EUR), district0x or DNT can be easily acquired using Ethereum or Bitcoin as the base cryptocurrency from various exchanges. Binance is a popular trading platform facilitating the exchange of Bitcoin or Ethereum for District0x. People can also store district0x (DNT) coins using various wallets like myetherwallet.com. Wallets like Coinbase, Blockchain, Exodus, and Trezor hardware wallets also support district0x.

District0x differs conceptually and architecturally from most currencies. Its interconnected concept of districts and markets offers a novel structure for modern economies. A fact many users overlook is that it’s not just a voting token but also a staking mechanism.

Understanding the developmental core of District0x through the new paradigm of decentralized markets from a technical architecture perspective The district0x network is a collective of markets and communities known as “districts,” which exist as decentralized autonomous organizations on the District0x network. In this network, all districts are built on a standardized open-source framework called d0xINFRA, reminiscent of the Ethlance stack, consisting of Ethereum smart contracts and frontend libraries.

All districts possess the following core operational capabilities, accessible through a user interface in both list and gallery styles:

1. Publishing and Listing: Users can publish their products, services, or content and list them in the marketplace.

2. Searching and Filtering: Convenient search and filtering functionalities are provided, enabling users to quickly find the desired content or services.

3. Ranking and Reputation: A ranking and reputation system is established within the district, aiding users in identifying high-quality products or services.

4. Payment and Invoicing: Support for secure payment and invoicing systems ensures the reliability and transparency of transactions.

On the district0x network, the core of each district is the d0xINFRA Web3 framework. This framework consists of Solidity smart contracts and frontend libraries distributed on IPFS, powering the essential functionalities of the districts. d0xINFRA is designed to be open-source and scalable, allowing for the implementation of unique features and enhancements through plugin auxiliary modules. The backend logic is controlled by a set of d0xINFRA contracts and a set of region-specific contracts, shared across all districts on the network. The design of d0xINFRA enables districts to implement unique features and enhanced functionalities through plugin auxiliary modules.

As a system for coordinating operations, the emergence of Aragon injects new vitality into decentralized governance.

As a model for framework design, Ethlance represents the original district and serves as a sandbox for improving d0xINFRA. On this framework, new markets are emerging. ENS Bazaar will provide a peer-to-peer marketplace for exchanging names registered through the Ethereum Name Service, offering users a discoverable registry. Inspired by the Curator Market model, Meme Factory will be a platform for creating provably rare digital assets that can be exchanged immediately on the Ethereum blockchain.

On the district0x network, we usher in a new era of decentralized governance. However, to ensure that every network citizen can participate in the governance of the districts and to ensure coordinated decision-making for the districts, an effective mechanism is needed. Aragon’s emergence fills this gap.

The emergence of Aragon has injected new vitality into decentralized governance. As a groundbreaking platform, Aragon aims to deploy unstoppable companies and entities, providing an operating system for decentralized autonomous organizations. It streamlines organizational management and promotes collective coordination by offering economic incentives. On the district0x network, Aragon’s governance model establishes a solid foundation for regional autonomy, enabling users to participate in the decision-making process and collectively build a fairer and more transparent market environment.

To achieve regional autonomy, we have introduced the District0x Network Token (DNT). DNT is a staking token used by holders to join districts and participate in their governance. Users holding DNT have voting rights within districts and can participate in important decisions concerning them. Additionally, DNT will be used to govern various aspects of the District0x Network and decide on the deployment of future districts through a weighted voting mechanism.

While the ideals are lofty, whether the District0x Network can translate them into reality will test the project’s operational capabilities.

The future development of the District0x Network will depend on its ability to continuously drive technological innovation, expand the ecosystem, attract more users and partners, and adapt to regulatory environments and market changes. By introducing decentralized governance and district self-management mechanisms, the District0x Network aims to achieve sustainable development and prosperity. With its strong technical foundation, clear vision and strategy, and initial market successes, District0x is poised to become a significant player in the decentralized marketplace and community sectors. However, its success will also hinge on changes in the external market environment, the sustainability of technological innovation, and the activity and commitment of the community. Moving forward, District0x will continue to focus on meeting community needs, fostering innovation, and growing and strengthening together with its community members.

This thought emanated within me while I was having a meaningful conversation with my love. We were talking about how she and I are often seen as the crazy ones for not wanting to settle into a mundane, fiat 9-to-5 life, and not wanting to willingly slave our lives away towards eventual retirement in the name of being "responsible adults" and "living a stable life." Both sides of our family, but especially hers, keep nagging her with questions like, "When are you going to get a full-time job?" or "You need to start making adequate amounts of money to be happy," or "You have to start acting like a responsible adult." Meanwhile, the ones nagging her have those things—a full-time job, financial "stability," "enough" money—and are supposed to be accomplished and "responsible adults," but they are also neck-deep in debt, not at all happy, and lacking financial freedom or any freedom for that matter. And they still expect us to believe and agree with them that this is the way to truly live a life we can only live once? And we're the crazy ones for aspiring to live a meaningful and fulfilling life?

But I've also learned that this way of thinking is not natural but is a product of design, of years and years of programmed, artificial conditioning created to keep us stuck.

And I too would have fallen into the proverbial rat race had I not taken the Orange Pill.

But back to the whole point of this post. Even if you may not understand Bitcoin, and may not understand how the fiat system works, you are able to read the title of this post and ponder over it a bit, reflect on it.

Work to gain experience, not to make money.

In this broken world we live in, we are conditioned to work for money. Money is the motivation; it's what drives us to work. We attach our identity, self-worth, and value to this "money" that everyone here on SN understands is broken, dysfunctional, fake money. Unfortunately, most cannot see past this conditioning. It's the whole fish-doesn't-know-what-water-is conundrum. But there's power in words. They can be used to oppress, manipulate, and corrupt, but they can also do the opposite by freeing our minds, empowering us, and giving us back control over our own livelihood.

When asked, "Why do you work?" most will answer, "For the pay." And I can guarantee that the majority, if not all, who work for money are not happy, are not finding fulfillment in their work, and have no major ambitions or goals to better themselves. Once money becomes the sole motivator, you become stuck, you become a fiat NPC. But maybe if we start changing the words from "I work to make money" to "I work to gain valuable experience to continue my personal growth," gradually more people will find meaning in their job beyond just getting paid to do it. All it takes is a simple shift in mentality, a subtle change in words, and your life can quickly go from dull and gray to full of vibrant color and meaning. And if after further reflection, you realize that money is the primary reason you continue to work at your current job, maybe it's time you moved on.

数日前、大規模モデルの価格戦争が始まりましたが、今日、AI チップも価格戦争を始めているというニュースが発表されました。$NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$中国市場に供給される H20 人工知能チップの価格です。下げられた。

情報筋によると、場合によっては、H20チップはHuawei Ascend 910Bよりも10％以上安い価格で販売されているという。中国のサーバーディーラーはH20チップを1セットあたり約10万元の価格で販売しており、8セットのチップを搭載した各サーバーの価格は2万元になるという。 110万元と130万元。

一部の市場関係者は、ファーウェイがエヌビディアとの競争を始めたのは昨年のことだと指摘しており、関係者によると、ファーウェイは今年、Ascend 910Bチップの出荷を大幅に増やす予定で、同チップの性能はいくつかの重要な指標でH20を上回っているという。

米国の著名なクオンツ投資会社リサーチ・アフィリエイツのロブ・アーノット会長は現地時間23日、エヌビディアの市場での成功は、今後も半導体業界を支配し続けるという考えに基づいていると述べた。他のチップ大手も関与すべきだが、今から判断すると、Nvidiaの評価は確かに高すぎる。

Nvidiaの中国戦略 以前の米国の制裁により、NVIDIA の最先端半導体の中国への輸出が妨げられたため、NVIDIA は関連する輸出政策を回避するために、昨年末に中国市場向けに特別に調整された 3 つのチップを発売しました。これらのチップの中で、H20 が最も注目を集めました。なぜなら、それは中国で販売されている最も強力な製品だからであるが、ロイター通信によると、このチップは市場に十分に供給されており、場合によってはH20チップが10％を超える価格で販売されているとのことだ。 Huawei Ascend 910B (中国企業の最も強力な AI チップ) よりも小さいです。

Nvidia の最高財務責任者 (CFO) コレット・クレス氏は以前、「10 月に新たな輸出規制が施行される前と比較して、当社の中国におけるデータセンターの収益は大幅に減少した。中国市場での競争は今後も激化すると予想される」と述べた。 」

過去6か月間でH20チップの購入に関心を表明した国または政府系バイヤーはわずか5カ国だったが、情報筋によると、同時期にファーウェイ910Bチップの購入者は十数社に達したという。$Alibaba (BABA.US)$ / $BABA-SW (09988.HK)$ 30,000 個以上の H20 チップを注文しましたが、Ali はこれに対して公には反応しませんでした。

現在、中国のサーバー販売業者が販売しているH20サーバーカードの価格は1枚あたり約10万元、8枚入りサーバーの場合は1枚あたり110万元から130万元であるのに対し、ファーウェイの1枚あたりの価格は110万元から130万元である。代理店が販売する910Bカードの価格は12万元以上だが、8枚のカードを搭載したサーバーのカード1枚の価格は130万元から150万元の範囲であると業界関係者によると、H20とHuawei 910Bの価格は状況に応じて変動するという。注文量のサイズ。

研究機関セミアナリシスの創設者ディラン・パテル氏は、2024年下半期には100万個近くのH20チップが中国に出荷される予定で、H20はメモリ容量が大きいため、価格面でファーウェイと競争する必要があると述べた。 H100 よりも製造コストが高くなりますが、H20 の価格は H100 の半分です。

Nvidia の上位 3 つの変数 今見ると、NVIDIA には 3 つの主要な変数があります。1 つは評価、2 つ目は競合他社、3 つ目は中国でのビジネスです。

木曜日の終値までに、エヌビディアは9.32％上昇し、株価は1000ドル台で安定しており、時価総額は2兆5500億ドルに達したが、同社の株価収益率（TTM）は低くない。純株価収益率は 60 倍近く、売上高倍率は 40 倍に達しています。さらに、水平比較から判断すると、NVIDIA のバリュエーションは決して低いとは言えません。データによると、水曜日の時点で、ドイツで最初に上場された企業の時価総額は約2兆5,100億米ドルとなっている。

さらに、Nvidiaは現在絶対的な優位性を持っていますが、以前に米国証券取引委員会に提出された文書で、人工知能チップなどのさまざまなカテゴリーでファーウェイを最大の競争相手として初めて特定しました。 Nvidia が言及した競合他社には、$Intel (INTC.US)$、$Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$、$Broadcom (AVGO.US)$、$Qualcomm (QCOM.US)$が含まれます。さらに、多くの重要な企業もリストされています。$Amazon (AMZN.US)$や$Microsoft (MSFT.US)$などのクラウド コンピューティング企業そしてつい昨日、Nvidia の最新の競合企業である Groq が、同社が約 3 億ドルを調達したいと投資家に示唆したことを明らかにしました。そして3人目は、Groqが資金調達を支援するためにモルガン・スタンレーを雇用したと述べ、Groqの資金調達総額は今回のラウンドで約2倍となり、Cerebrasなどの新興企業の競合企業に近づくことになると述べた。

中国の市場調査会社CCIDコンサルタンツの報告書によると、世界の人工知能産業における中国のシェアは2035年までに30％を超えると予想されているが、その一方で、Nvidiaの最も強力なチップは禁止されている。一方、中国には、NVIDIA が中国向けに特別に供給したチップよりも優れたチップが存在する。アナリストは、この価格紛争は、AI チップの輸出に対する米国の制裁に直面して NVIDIA の中国事業が直面する課題を浮き彫りにしていると考えている。競争が激化し、売上高の17％を占めた中国市場が同社の2024会計年度に影を落とした。

IG市場アナリスト?$#@$チェン氏は、「NVIDIAは微妙な方針をとっており、中国市場の維持と米国の緊張への対処との間のバランスを見つけようとしている。NVIDIAは間違いなく長期的には最悪の事態に備えている」と述べた。

Those shoes fit all of us. The time has come where a friend, acquaintance, or family member of yours approaches you at a social function and asks, "You were into Bitcoin, right?" You're well aware that you have only a short amount of time to capture their interest and provide a summary. How, therefore, can you provide them with a coherent explanation of such an intricate and complicated issue?

To help you out the next time you're in that predicament, I've compiled a list of potential solutions.

CENTRALISATION IS THE ENEMY OF PROPERTY

You can lose control of centralised money in two ways. directly, as in Greece in 2015 and 2016, when people lost 20% of whatever was in their bank accounts to a government haircut; or indirectly, as the United States and the United Kingdom have shown by blocking access to Russian corporations' or individuals' assets during the current crisis in relations surrounding the Ukraine. Second, since all of our fiat currencies are managed by a small group of powerful people, this may be accomplished through inflation: the government creates more money, causing the value of your savings to decrease.

As a decentralised digital currency, Bitcoin is not issued or regulated by any central authority. It's a 21st-century safeguard against inflation and central bank money production, and it's a completely novel form of currency. When compared to the US dollar, it is a provably scarce digital asset backed by a barrier of encrypted real-world energy. After 10 years, the value of these coins has increased to 20,000 times that of the US dollar.

It is deflationary since it is both rare and distributed across the internet, and no one can take it from you if you store it offline.

WHAT EXACTLY IS BITCOIN?

Bitcoin can refer to either the asset (which is now worth 20,000 times its USD value) or the network (which is growing faster than the internet, Facebook, and Amazon combined).Digital rails (a shared distributed ledger where a record of all Bitcoin transactions is recorded) are dispersed over tens of thousands of devices and computers, allowing Bitcoin as an asset to move freely across the network. This digital asset is a 21st-century savings technology that allows you to keep value and money on a smartphone or hardware device known as a wallet using military-grade encryption.

Its purchasers can safely keep the results of their labour (or life force) and material wealth in a digital ledger protected by complex algorithms and cryptographic techniques (through inflation). Once you become fluent in bitcoin terminology, you'll see that anyone who has government-issued currency (which is all of us) is watching their wealth melt like an ice cube in the sun as the fiat value inflates and hyperinflates when evaluated against bitcoin. It's time for everyone to wake up and smell the coffee if they care about their wealth lasting into the future. This is especially true for parents who hope to leave their children a financial legacy. Even though Bitcoin is currently volatile, all signs point to it maintaining its value over the long term, while fiat currencies rapidly lose theirs.

THE BITCOIN NETWORK HAS NEVER BEEN HACKED

Over the next 13 years, Bitcoin's network reliability is unmatched.

IN A NUTSHELL, HOW DOES BITCOIN WORK?

The blockchain is the backbone of Bitcoin. The blocks that make up a blockchain are what give it its name. A new block is added to the blockchain every time it is verified. The process of rewarding miners with freshly created Bitcoin for solving the mathematical challenge used to confirm blocks is baked into the Bitcoin protocol. This is the technique that ensures the Bitcoin blockchain is always secure, but it is also quite energy-intensive.

Bitcoin mining is the resource-intensive process that issues new bitcoins and keeps a record of every bitcoin transaction ever made. Bitcoin miners turn energy from the actual world (both stranded and renewable) into a currency that will last longer than your grandkids. The more power bitcoin miners consume, the more secure and invulnerable the network becomes.

About every 10 minutes, the protocol releases 6.25 coins into circulation. In 2024, the issuance rate will decrease to 3.125 coins every 10 minutes, cutting the total supply in half.

As soon as a Bitcoin transaction is completed, its details are added to the next block. Once a block has been validated and added to the blockchain, it cannot be removed.

WHO MAKES USE OF BITCOIN?

Bitcoin's user base keeps growing. A rise of slightly less than 165 new Bitcoin users per minute was predicted for the first half of 2021 ("How Fast Is Bitcoin Growing?2021 ("How Fast Is Bitcoin Growing?"). This represents a huge increase in population as well as a substantial amount of development.

Bitcoin is the first digital currency to be recognised as legal tender by a government. Microstrategy, an intelligence software business in the Fortune 500, has designated Bitcoin as a major treasury reserve asset, making it the first and only asset of its kind to receive such a designation.

CEO Michael Saylor gave the following statement:

Our company's balance sheet went from being a declining asset to an appreciating one. So now there are two companies. Both are examples of businesses that are crucial to the modern economy, yet one is enterprise software and the other deals with digital property. The question then becomes, "Why did we do it?" I'm trying to play it safe by avoiding any actions that could cause financial harm or damage to the company's stock price. It's a waste of money. The second phase is an opportunistic one in which we may acquire premium real estate. In comparison to analogue property, digital property is superior. Strategic planning occurs throughout Stage 3. Before everyone moves to Cyber Manhattan, it's a smart idea to buy all the real estate. If I can borrow dollars at 5% interest and bitcoin is increasing in value by 100% per year, my arbitrage is 95%. So why wouldn't I go for it?

THERE’S A LOT OF NEGATIVITY ABOUT BITCOIN IN THE PRESS

Looking back through time, we see that it is unusual for a king to be ousted from his throne by an outsider without putting up some sort of resistance. Almost ever since it was first introduced by the Medici, the fiat banking system has dominated the financial world. This won't go away quietly. The fiat system has been able to set the conditions, and its personnel have reaped enormous rewards as a result. Bitcoin, the underdog King Arthur who triumphantly drew the sword from the stone, changed all that. And the governments and central banks approve of that? They don't do that at all.

This is a major factor in the propaganda campaign waged against bitcoin by governments and central banks.

Inquiring minds want to know the truth about such falsehoods. There is no foundation for it. Energy is being wasted. The situation is quite unstable. Billionaires have complete control over it. Nothing could ever be done with it. Criminals and terrorists are the main users. This is clearly a Ponzi scheme.

Rubbish. Bitcoin might cause a paradigm shift, which is why it's been vilified so much by the people now in power.

YOU CAN PURCHASE A FRACTION OF A BTC

Most of us probably don't have a spare $20,000 laying around that we could use to buy a complete Bitcoin. One bitcoin is equal to one hundred million Satoshis, so if you wanted to start with just $10, you could buy some bitcoin.

Conclusion

Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency, was created to function as an alternative to traditional fiat cash. Since Bitcoin's inception in 2009, its popularity has skyrocketed and its applications have multiplied, giving rise to a plethora of other digital currencies. Bitcoin investment is less complicated than the Bitcoin generation process. Bitcoin can be purchased and sold by investors and speculators at crypto exchanges. Investors should carefully examine whether or not Bitcoin is the correct investment for them, as with any investment but especially one as new and volatile as Bitcoin.

FAQs

In what ways can I best describe Bitcoin to a non-technical audience? In order to conduct financial transactions without the intervention of a central bank or other centralised authority, a growing number of people are turning to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC).

How can Bitcoin be explained in the simplest terms? Bitcoin is a digital currency that may be bought, sold, and exchanged directly without the use of a central authority or centralised institution like a bank. Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin, first articulated the need for "an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of faith."

Can you give a simple explanation of cryptography for newcomers? Cryptocurrency, also known simply as "crypto," is a form of digital currency designed to function as a medium of exchange. It employs cryptography for transaction verification and security and to regulate the issuance of additional units of a certain digital currency.

EigenLayer has garnered widespread attention in the blockchain world, introducing two new primitives: ReStaking and AVS (Active Verification Service).

By combining ReStaking and AVS, EigenLayer has formed a comprehensive business model. It abstracts the economic security of Ethereum's PoS consensus into a "lite" version of AVS with lower consensus security but reduced costs, thus providing more economical consensus security services for various projects in the market. This allows EigenLayer to serve projects with lower consensus security requirements at a lower cost, expanding the application scenarios of the Ethereum ecosystem.

These primitives not only bring new business models to the Ethereum ecosystem but also offer developers and users new possibilities. This article will delve into EigenLayer's AVS, exploring its operational mechanisms, application scenarios, and future developments.

Interpreting Ethereum's Business Model: As a blockchain giant, Ethereum's business model primarily revolves around selling block space to general Rollup L2 (Layer 2 scaling solutions). Rollup L2 packages state data and transactions onto Ethereum's mainnet smart contracts by paying GAS fees, storing them in the form of calldata on the Ethereum mainnet.

Final, these data are ordered by the consensus layer of Ethereum and included in the block. The essence of this process is Ethereum's active validation of Rollup L2's state data consistency.

Introduction to ReStaking Concept: ReStaking is a new primitive introduced by EigenLayer to enhance the economic security of Ethereum's Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus through a re-staking mechanism. Simply put, ReStaking allows users to restake already staked ETH or Liquidity Staking Tokens (LST) to earn additional staking rewards. This mechanism not only enhances the security of the Ethereum network but also provides stakers with an additional source of income.

Introduction to AVS Concept: AVS, namely Active Verification Service, is another key primitive of EigenLayer. It abstracts the Ethereum consensus process into a new primitive, enabling different projects to leverage this consensus security to enhance their own security. The target market of AVS mainly includes projects with lower requirements for consensus security, such as Dapp Rollups, oracle networks, cross-chain bridges, MPC multi-signature networks, and trusted execution environments.

Background of AVS and Corresponding Industry Pain Points: The introduction of AVS is to address several key pain points that have long existed in the blockchain industry:

1. Security and Economic Costs:

In traditional blockchain projects, developers need to independently build and maintain their own consensus mechanisms, which not only takes time and effort but also requires a considerable amount of economic costs. For many startups and small-scale applications, this is a significant barrier. AVS significantly reduces the cost and complexity of project development by providing shared consensus security, enabling more innovative projects to emerge in the Ethereum ecosystem.

1. Decentralization and Trust Issues:

Many blockchain applications rely on decentralized verification services, but building a reliable decentralized network requires a significant amount of resources and technical accumulation. AVS abstracts Ethereum's consensus security into a service, providing a standardized solution to help projects quickly build decentralized verification networks, enhancing trust and reliability.

1. Scalability and Flexibility:

As blockchain technology advances, application scenarios become more diverse. Traditional blockchain architectures are increasingly constrained when facing these new demands. AVS's modular design allows developers to flexibly choose and combine different verification services according to specific requirements, achieving efficient scalability and flexibility to meet various complex application needs.

Introduction to AVS Operational Mechanism: The operational mechanism of AVS can be divided into the following key steps:

1. Task Generation and Publication:

AVS first generates tasks that need to be verified and publishes these tasks to the EigenLayer network. Tasks can include data validation, transaction sorting, or other distributed verification operations.

1. Operator Receives Tasks:

Operators registered on the EigenLayer network receive these tasks and perform the corresponding verification operations. Operators need to run specialized node software and perform calculations and verification according to task requirements.

1. Task Verification and Signing:

After completing the tasks, operators sign the results and send the signed results to the task aggregator. The signing process ensures the authenticity and integrity of the task results.

1. Result Aggregation and Publication:

The task aggregator collects signed results from different operators and aggregates them. Once the predetermined quorum threshold is reached, the aggregated results are published to EigenLayer's smart contracts.

1. Dispute Resolution:

After the task results are published, anyone can dispute the results. Dispute resolution contracts handle these disputes and penalize dishonest operators if necessary.

Through this mechanism, AVS ensures the decentralization and security of the verification process while providing flexible verification services.

Applications of AVS: AVS has wide-ranging applications in the blockchain ecosystem, here are several typical scenarios:

1. Dapp Rollup:

Dapp Rollup is one of the key application scenarios for AVS. By leveraging AVS, Dapp Rollup can build more efficient and secure applications on top of Ethereum, including decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, and social networks.

1. Oracle Networks:

Oracle networks rely on the reliability and security of external data sources. Through AVS, oracle networks can enhance the security of their data verification, thus providing more reliable data services for applications like DeFi.

1. Cross-chain bridges:

Cross-chain bridges facilitate the exchange of data and assets across different blockchains. AVS enhances the security of cross-chain bridges, ensuring the safe transfer of data and assets between different blockchains.

1. MPC Multi-signature Networks:

MPC multi-signature networks rely on the cooperation of multiple parties to complete signatures. With AVS, the security and reliability of cooperation can be improved, applicable in areas like multi-party computation and privacy-preserving computation.

1. Trusted Execution Environments:

Trusted execution environments require code execution in trusted hardware. AVS enhances the security of execution environments, ensuring the integrity and security of code executed in trusted hardware.

Core advantages and application scenarios of AVS: AVS not only brings new application scenarios to the Ethereum ecosystem but also has the following advantages:

1. Enhanced economic security:

Through ReStaking, AVS can utilize the existing PoS consensus of Ethereum to enhance economic security, reducing the entry barriers for developers and users.

1. Cost reduction:

AVS abstracts consensus security into a "basic version" of AVS, reducing the cost of consensus security services, making it accessible to more projects.

1. Increased flexibility:

AVS provides flexible consensus security services for various projects, enabling them to better perform in different application scenarios.

It's worth noting that with the development of the EigenLayer ecosystem, the future application prospects of AVS will be even broader. Here are some potential future directions:

1. Expanding into more application scenarios:

AVS can expand into more application scenarios in fields such as supply chain management, Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI), driving the development of these areas by providing efficient consensus security services.

1. Improving scalability:

As blockchain technology continues to evolve, AVS can optimize its architecture to improve system scalability to meet more application demands and higher transaction volumes.

1. Strengthening interoperability with other blockchains:

By interoperating with other blockchains, AVS can provide more comprehensive consensus security services, promoting the development and adoption of cross-chain applications.

Closing Remark: AVS is poised to become a significant application sector in the blockchain world. EigenLayer's AVS introduces innovative ReStaking and AVS primitives, bringing forth fresh business models and application scenarios to the Ethereum ecosystem.

By providing inexpensive and efficient consensus security services, AVS not only expands the application boundaries of Ethereum but also opens up new possibilities for the future development of the blockchain ecosystem.

With technology advancing continuously and applications expanding, AVS is poised to become a crucial component of the blockchain world in the future.

In the booming development of blockchain technology, environmental protection is gradually becoming a highly regarded field. Silencio, as one of the pioneers in this trend, is leveraging blockchain technology to combat noise pollution. Their approach involves innovatively applying decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs), empowering individuals and communities to monitor, report, and manage noise.

Silencio firmly believes that addressing environmental issues requires community involvement. They enable community members to contribute to detailed, real-time, and hyperlocal noise maps, thus promoting shared responsibility and positive attitudes towards improving quality of life. This participatory model ensures that everyone has the ability and means to drive change, making environmental action more tangible and impactful for the general public.

Since the start of the Beta Phase implementation, Silencio has successfully engaged 190,000 users globally in their project. As of May 2, 2024, their contributors have collectively measured 1 million hours (approximately 114 years) of noise data. Yet, their ambitions extend far beyond this milestone; they aim to attract 1 million contributors by the end of 2024, increasing awareness of noise pollution and reducing associated health risks.

Under the leadership of Silencio, we are moving towards a quieter and healthier future.

Introducing Silencio: a Web3 scientific entrepreneurship project combating noise pollution, with an upcoming airdrop. Silencio is a free application designed to be the world’s largest citizen science project against noise pollution. Through Silencio, users can share the sound levels (in decibels) around them and earn rewards for doing so. User data can also generate revenue when sold. The core idea of this project is to improve quality of life by addressing environmental issues through collective action.

With an innovative tokenomics model, Silencio aims to create a sustainable and engaging ecosystem that encourages users to actively combat noise pollution and benefit from their contributions. By collecting accurate real-time data, Silencio hopes to provide data-driven decision support for governments, urban planners, and various industries to formulate more effective noise control strategies and enhance the quality of life for city residents. The project also aims to establish partnerships with businesses and organizations, with a long-term vision of global expansion and comprehensive noise pollution management.

Silencio, built on the peaq network, is a community-driven platform dedicated to tackling the increasingly severe issue of urban noise pollution. By offering Noise coin rewards, it incentivizes users to contribute hyperlocal noise pollution data from their communities or neighborhoods. Silencio employs an innovative economic model, encouraging active participation in combating noise pollution while benefiting from contributions. It revolutionizes noise pollution monitoring by harnessing the power of smartphones, eliminating the need for a large number of fixed environmental sensors. Users can redeem goods and services through the app store or choose to donate Noise coins to meaningful causes like tree planting or protecting endangered rainforests.

Silencio has announced plans for future airdrops, rewarding users based on the sound data they provide or the number of referrals they make. Moreover, the project will roll out more product features in Q2 of 2024, including NFT auctions. Furthermore, to enhance noise governance capabilities, Silencio announced a partnership with NATIX in mid-March this year. This collaboration not only aims to further expand Silencio’s influence but also applies DePINs technology to ecological governance, accelerating innovation in addressing noise pollution.

Understanding the DePIN concept further aids users in comprehending the Silencio project and its future development plans. DePIN, short for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks, incentivizes user participation in optimizing resource utilization efficiency and providing value to network users through token incentives for physical resource networks (PRNs) or digital resource networks (DRNs). DePINs are anchored in decentralization, security, and transparency. Decentralization ensures power and control decentralization, enhances security, and makes unauthorized changes difficult due to the distributed nature of blockchain. Transparency is achieved by recording every transaction and decision on the blockchain, enabling anyone to verify and trust.

Silencio’s partner NATIX is a pioneer in the DePINs field, committed to addressing environmental challenges through distributed physical infrastructure networks. This innovative model not only ensures transparency and security of data through blockchain technology but also drives user engagement through incentive mechanisms, leading to groundbreaking advancements in the environmental sector. The collaboration between Silencio and NATIX not only represents an innovative response to noise pollution but also serves as a catalyst for the development of DePINs in the environmental domain.

NATIX Network is leading the way in open geospatial intelligence networks through its proprietary AI technology and innovative Internet of Cameras framework. Its flagship product, Drive&, harnesses the power of driving assistant applications, computer vision AI, and smartphone cameras to crowdsource real-time data and create dynamic digital twins of our world. This initiative opens doors to numerous real-time applications, from enhancing autonomous driving technology to enabling smarter city services.

This collaboration serves as a testament to DePIN’s innovation in harnessing the transformative potential of smartphones. By leveraging the strengths of Silencio and NATIX, we are unlocking unprecedented scalability and accessibility, bringing Web3 innovation directly into the hands of global users. The collaboration between NATIX and Silencio goes beyond technological advancements; it’s a shared vision of the future, a decentralized, empowered future. Users of both networks can expect exclusive rewards, innovative integrations, and enhanced functionalities, enriching their experiences and contributing to the growth of both networks.

DePINs are built on blockchain technology, which is one of the reasons that makes them truly revolutionary. In addition to supporting infrastructure, blockchain introduces a novel incentive mechanism, namely token rewards. This system drives a sustainable model known as the DePIN flywheel, where token rewards incentivize infrastructure deployment and provide services and rewards to contributors, thereby fueling further growth and participation.

By issuing tokens, participants in DePINs are rewarded for their contributions, whether it’s sharing data, maintaining infrastructure, or contributing resources. This not only ensures the sustainability and growth of the network but also democratizes the benefits of infrastructure. By integrating token rewards, DePINs leverage a cycle of self-sustaining growth and improvement, encouraging broader participation and investment in the network.

DePINs leverages crowdsourcing for infrastructure development, rapidly expanding at lower costs. They distribute ownership and benefits to community members, accelerating growth faster than traditional models. Decentralization ensures power and control dispersion, enhancing security, while transparency makes unauthorized alterations difficult.

The deep integration of decentralization with the eco-friendly concept of DePINs fills Silencio’s future with promise. Silencio’s application along with DePINs’ infrastructure network demonstrate how blockchain promotes data transparency and community involvement, thereby enhancing our quality of life.

Silencio employs blockchain technology and the power of smartphones to combat noise pollution, offering real-time solutions to communities by collecting hyper-local noise data. Simultaneously, DePINs, as a decentralized entity infrastructure network, incentivizes users to participate in infrastructure deployment and operation through token rewards, thereby enhancing urban living standards.

The combination of these two projects showcases the importance of blockchain technology in environmental solutions. Through transparency and reward mechanisms, DePINs expands its network, offering innovative possibilities across industries. Silencio and DePINs represent the fusion of virtual and physical economies, paving the way for a more sustainable future.

Over the next few years, Silencio and DePINs are expected to continue growing, making greater contributions to environmental protection and social improvement. Their success depends on smart design, community involvement, and service quality, which will play crucial roles in their future development. With blockchain technology maturing and applications advancing, we can anticipate these projects thriving in 2024 and 2025, bringing positive change to our society.

Markings and Their Meanings

In the first post of FMS, we covered the expected dimensions of a football field. Let's continue with the markings on a football pitch. Below is a football pitch labeled with the particular markings that are required according to the laws of the game.

Halfway Line, Center Circle, and Center Mark

• Halfway Line:
  • Self-explanatory, but this line is drawn across the field representing the halfway point. Any substitution is normally conducted where the halfway line meets the touchline.
• Center Circle and Center Mark:
  • The center circle is drawn in the middle of the field. During kickoff, the ball is placed on the center mark by the team that is attacking first. The attacking team can have players within the center circle on their defensive side when kicking off. However, all opposing players must be positioned on their respective defensive side and cannot be inside the center circle until the ball is kicked and in play.

Goal Line, Goal Area, Corner Area, and Touchline

• Goal Line, Goal Area, and Corner Area:
  • The goal line is the boundary line on both ends of the field that form the width. The goal is set up in the middle of the goal line, with goal posts placed on top of it. For a shot to be considered a goal, the entire ball must cross the whole of the goal line. If the ball crosses the goal line without going into the goal, the play will result in a kicked restart. If the ball was kicked over the goal line by an attacker, the restart is called a goal kick for the defending team, taken from anywhere within the defending team's goal area. If the last player to kick the ball out of bounds over the goal line is a defender, the restart will be a corner kick for the attacking team, taken from within the corner area closer to where the ball went out of play. Optional markings 9.15 m from the corner flag indicate how far a defending player must stand away from the attacking player taking the corner kick, ensuring fair play and allowing for corner kick plays, like a short corner, without defenders being too close.
• Touchline:
  • The touchline forms the boundaries along the length of the pitch. If the ball goes out of bounds over the touchline, the restart is done with a throw-in.

Penalty Area, Penalty Arc, and Penalty Mark

• Penalty Area:

  • The penalty area is significant for two main reasons. First, it is the only area where the goalkeeper is allowed to use their hands (with one particular exception). The keeper can only use their hands within the penalty area on the side they are defending. Second, if an attacking player is fouled within the penalty area, the resulting play is a penalty kick.
  • Here is an epic example of what is not allowed within the penalty area, featuring Oliver Kahn handballing it into the goal:

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

• Penalty Arc and Penalty Mark:

  • When an attacking player is fouled within the penalty area, the penalty kick taker must place the ball on the penalty mark. The penalty arc is significant because it represents the area in which only the penalty kick taker is allowed (although the kicker doesn’t have to enter it). All other players, both attacking and defending, must stay outside of the penalty area and the penalty arc to ensure fairness of play.

TLDR

• Goal lines (width) and touchlines (length) make up the boundaries of the field.
• The center circle which includes the center mark at the center is where the game kicks off.
• The penalty area includes the penalty arc, penalty mark, and goal area, and is the only area where the goal keeper can use his/her hands, and the attacking team can win a penalty kick.

Yesterday, this post introduced a way to track the Bitcoin network's transactions per second. It's a super useful tool to see how many transactions Bitcoin is actually processing on the current day.

...but it was totally boring. I incorporated it into this super campy and scary tool (also forked from @supertestnet) for anybody that wants to really feel the drama of the moment.

Clay's highly reactive surfaces provide scaffolding for the self-assembly of biomolecules and the eventual formation of living organisms.

The Jewish Golem legend holds every hallmark of this interaction. Jesus rubbed clay mixed with his spit to reverse blindness. What exactly did the ancients know about clay?

There's been a lot of chatter online following a recent episode of the #JoeRogan Experience (#JRE Ep.2152) featuring guest #TerrenceHoward. The discussion covered his research into chemistry, physics, sound, and vibrations, sparking my memory of a book I read years ago.

The book came highly recommended by my sound engineering professor. I've been producing music as a hobby since I was 16 and studied sound engineering for two years after completing high school. My professor explained that everything we see, hear, and touch is made up of vibrating elements, and that these vibrations create sounds, whether audible or inaudible to the human ear.

I was fascinated by this concept because it resonated deeply with me. I had always felt how certain music, sounds, colors, and locations influenced my emotions. It dawned on me that these vibrations might have a more direct impact on how I feel than I had realized. Intrigued, I bought the book and dove in.

This write-up is a quick summary of that book, and perhaps it will pique your interest enough to read it too.

Introduction

Itzhak Bentov's "Stalking the Wild Pendulum: On the Mechanics of Consciousness" is a fascinating deep dive into these big questions. Bentov, an engineer and inventor with a spiritual streak, mixes scientific insight with mystical wisdom to offer a fresh take on how everything fits together.

Vibrational Nature of Reality

Bentov kicks things off with the idea that everything in the universe vibrates. From tiny particles to our thoughts, it's all about vibration. This isn't just some abstract concept; Bentov explains how these vibrations shape the reality we experience. For example, he discusses how atoms and molecules vibrate at specific frequencies, creating the physical world as we know it. He even talks about standing waves and how they create the structure of our world. Bentov explains that human organs resonate at specific frequencies, with the heart resonating around 1 Hz during normal function.

The Pendulum Analogy

The book's title comes from Bentov's analogy of a pendulum to explain consciousness. Picture a pendulum swinging back and forth—that's like our consciousness moving between different states like waking, dreaming, and deep meditation. Bentov doesn't just use this as a metaphor; he dives into how this oscillation happens in the brain. He describes the brain's micro-motion, which is around 10-13 Hz, and how it influences our state of awareness and perception. This helps explain how we shift from one state of awareness to another, almost like the rhythmic motion of a pendulum.

Holographic Universe

One of the wildest ideas in the book is that the universe is like a hologram. Bentov suggests that each part of the universe contains the whole thing. This idea ties into quantum physics and mystical traditions. He brings up the work of scientists like David Bohm and Karl Pribram, who thought our brains process information holographically. Bentov illustrates this with the example of how our brains can reconstruct entire memories or images from partial information, similar to how a hologram can recreate a full image from any part of it.

Mechanics of Consciousness

Bentov really gets into the nitty-gritty of how consciousness works. He talks about tiny movements in our bodies, especially in the heart and cardiovascular system, that create little mechanical vibrations. These vibrations, according to Bentov, influence brain activity and play a big role in altered states of consciousness. For instance, he discusses how the heart's vibration at 1 Hz can synchronize with brainwaves during deep meditation, potentially leading to out-of-body experiences.

The Role of Sound and Vibration

Sound and vibration are huge in Bentov's theory. He looks at how different frequencies can change our mental and physical states. He connects ancient practices like chanting to modern science, showing how specific sound frequencies can alter brainwave patterns. Bentov details experiments showing that sounds in the range of 4-7 Hz (Theta waves) can induce deep relaxation and altered states of consciousness. This isn't just theoretical; Bentov includes data from experiments with biofeedback and sound therapy, demonstrating measurable changes in brainwave activity.

Mind-Body Connection

Bentov highlights the tight link between mind and body. He suggests that our consciousness can actually influence physical reality. He backs this up with examples and experiments, like measuring biofeedback responses in altered states of consciousness. For example, he cites experiments where subjects could alter their heart rate and blood pressure through focused meditation, demonstrating tangible physiological changes that correspond to shifts in mental and emotional states. It’s a compelling argument for the holistic nature of human existence and how our minds can impact our health and well-being.

Evolution of Consciousness

Bentov also speculates about where we're headed. He believes we're evolving towards higher states of consciousness and that understanding these mechanics can lead to big personal and societal changes. He outlines a model of human evolution with stages of increasing vibrational frequency and awareness. Bentov describes how humanity might progress from the current average brainwave frequency of 10 Hz to higher frequencies, potentially unlocking new levels of collective consciousness and societal development.

In the mind-bending prose of Paramahansa Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi, we find a nugget of cosmic truth:

"Human life is beset with sorrow until we know how to tune in with the Divine Will, whose right course is often baffling to the egoistic intelligence."

Yogananda’s words cut through the noise, much like the rollercoaster ride that is Bitcoin, the digital beast that defies the tame expectations of Wall Street suits and reckless gamblers alike. The human ego, with its insatiable hunger for quick gains and predictable outcomes, is constantly at odds with the chaotic, often inscrutable dance of the market—much like trying to sync up with the vast, mysterious rhythms of the Divine Will.

Investing in Bitcoin isn’t just about watching numbers go up and down on a screen. No, it’s about understanding the deeper currents that drive this beast. The market’s cycles and trends, much like the whims of the cosmos, require a kind of zen-like focus to navigate. Tuning out the ego’s desperate cries and aligning with a broader, more holistic view of market forces can lead to harmony—and maybe even a touch of financial enlightenment.

To ride the Bitcoin wave without being swallowed by it, one must embrace a few key strategies:

1. Stay Informed: Don’t be a blind mouse in a snake pit. Absorb the news, follow the analyses, and always keep an eye on the shifting sands of regulation and technology.
2. Don’t Diversify: If you do, invest in companies that operate within the Bitcoin ecosystem. These businesses, from mining operations to blockchain technology firms, to shops helping make a bitcoin economy as they offer additional layers of engagement with the Bitcoin world.
3. HODL: In the face of the market’s terrifying swings, hold fast. The long game is the only game. Historical growth patterns show that patience often rewards the brave.
4. Community: Dive into the Bitcoin community. Swim with the schools of thought, get a feel for the collective pulse. Insight often comes from the unlikeliest of places.

For the uninitiated, the journey begins with education. Don’t just jump in blind; read, watch, and learn. Choose your battleground wisely—opt for reputable exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, or Kraken. And for the love of all that’s holy, secure your treasure with hardware wallets. Begin modestly, get your feet wet before diving into the deep end.

Timing, they say, is everything. The best moment to start was yesterday, but the next best is now. Don’t wait for the perfect moment—it doesn’t exist. Jump in, but with eyes wide open.

In the swirling chaos of financial markets and the dizzying highs and lows of Bitcoin, aligning our investments with a well-informed strategy is akin to finding peace in the cosmic dance of the Divine Will. By silencing the ego’s shrill demands and embracing a broader, more informed perspective, we can ride the Bitcoin beast towards potential prosperity without losing our minds.

So here’s the gospel according to Jam: The market’s a freak show, Bitcoin’s the main act, and if you play your cards right, you might just come out of it not only richer but a hell of a lot wiser.

As many others, I am always keeping an ear out for a valid counter-argument to Bitcoin. Most recently, I found an interesting argument against Bitcoin proposed by Yuval Noah Harari.

The argument, paraphrased:

Bitcoin assumes distrust between parties. Existing institutions such as (central) banks, require trust from the participants. Humanity should find ways of trusting each other, instead of adopting technology that removes the need for that trust.

I both agree and disagree with Yuval here. I'm absolutely a proponent of trust between humans, but I disagree that the trust should be through institutions.

One of the primary ways we as humans have learned to succeed as a species - and indeed thrive to the point of being masters of our natural environment - is our ability and reliability in predicting what will happen next.

We do not simply trust that our crops will grow next summer, we ensure it. We have understood that there is a yearly cycle of seasons and we have learned to reliably predict and anticipate it, allowing us to plan for it. Trust didn't fill up our grain stores and get us through famines.

We do not simply trust that if a healer puts some eels on our body it will drive out the bad spirits from our blood and heal us - we ensure that our medicine works and is reliable through the implementation of the scientific method and rigorous testing. Trust didn't bring down child mortality to near-zero in the modern world.

We do not simply trust that if we put enough fuel in a metal cylinder and light it on fire, it will take us to the moon - we meticulously calculated every thinkable variable to ensure that the rocket will take us there. Trust didn't get us to the moon.

Humans have sought to eliminate every single point of failure in prediction that stands between ourselves and our ability to know exactly what will happen next. Adaptability has for the most part taken the crown as what has allowed us to survive - but our ability of prediction must be what should be recognized for it's role in ensuring our prosperity.

So I will refuse the first point: It is not as Yuval suggests our ability to trust each other that has allowed us to control the natural world. It is our ability to successfully predict and eliminate unknown factors, gaining certainty and giving us the ability to anticipate what our next move should be. Cooperation, mainly has been ensured through incentive structures. "If you help me sow grain, you will have a share of it". Financial devices, like currencies, bonds and shares is merely an exercise in the attempt to implement this incentive structure and make it universally adaptable.

What Yuval is unfortunately missing is that the trust of the institutions which we should be able to reliably predict - have been repeatedly abused and subverted, and often fatally to the detriment of the working class. Their time is over.

What should be trustable and predictable, is now instead an instrument of speculation that reliably moves wealth from the working class to the ruling class. As a matter of fact, we have all learned to trust this natural state of things where everyone but the elite is being robbed. The institutions are no longer serving the common good of the people.

For many people, this trust in the fact that institutions will reliably subvert their needs, has resulted in the dissolution of society and the division of people everywhere. We are being misled by opaque promises of better times, a reliable inflation rate of 2%, wage growth that follows the inflation, and that our living standards will follow our increase in productivity. Instead of fulfilling these promises, we have been divided along lines of nonsensical dilemmas, blaming our brothers and neighbors for wrongthink, and forcing us to constantly choose a lesser of two evils.

Bitcoin subverts distrust between people - because Bitcoin is a predictable, reliable money that acts more like a law of nature than a human institution. Human institutions can be corrupted, co-opted for personal motives, and subverted by individual greed. Bitcoin lacks the feature for any of these things.

As for the seasons of the year, Bitcoin introduces a predictable economical cycle of halvings until the year 2140 - by which point we will hopefully have found a different, greater cycle to adapt to.

Yuval is wrong. Bitcoin does not create more distrust. Bitcoin eliminates it.

Recently, the district0x network has garnered significant attention in the industry. Below is a comprehensive introduction to this project for users.

Getting to Know the district0x Network: Creating a Frictionless Virtual Economy Compatible with Highly Developed Free Markets The district0x network is a collective comprised of decentralized and autonomous markets and communities, also known as districts. These districts are built on a decentralized and distributed open-source framework, powered by the d0xINFRA network driven by Ethereum smart contracts. The goal of the district0x network is to create a frictionless virtual economy, enabling users to easily make purchasing and selling decisions, complete transactions, and even rank other users. district0x aims to develop a flexible, liberated marketplace with advanced entrepreneurial concepts.

The district0x infrastructure is ingeniously designed, with one clear feature being the staking interface. This interface allows DNT holders to exercise open control over all listed markets through the Aragon governance layer. Upon creating a district, an Aragon entity is also created, which users can interact with to engage in the staking mechanism. By staking, users gain voting power within that district. With the creation interface, individuals can remove centralized power structures from any market without requiring additional development or programming skills. This can be likened to WordPress for dApps, where launched districts resemble WordPress templates, and auxiliary modules resemble WordPress plugins used for extending functionality.

While it’s challenging to directly purchase lesser-known cryptocurrencies from crypto exchanges using fiat currency (such as USD or EUR), district0x or DNT can be easily acquired using Ethereum or Bitcoin as the base cryptocurrency from various exchanges. Binance is a popular trading platform facilitating the exchange of Bitcoin or Ethereum for District0x. People can also store district0x (DNT) coins using various wallets like myetherwallet.com. Wallets like Coinbase, Blockchain, Exodus, and Trezor hardware wallets also support district0x.

District0x differs conceptually and architecturally from most currencies. Its interconnected concept of districts and markets offers a novel structure for modern economies. A fact many users overlook is that it’s not just a voting token but also a staking mechanism.

Understanding the developmental core of District0x through the new paradigm of decentralized markets from a technical architecture perspective The district0x network is a collective of markets and communities known as “districts,” which exist as decentralized autonomous organizations on the District0x network. In this network, all districts are built on a standardized open-source framework called d0xINFRA, reminiscent of the Ethlance stack, consisting of Ethereum smart contracts and frontend libraries.

All districts possess the following core operational capabilities, accessible through a user interface in both list and gallery styles:

1. Publishing and Listing: Users can publish their products, services, or content and list them in the marketplace.

2. Searching and Filtering: Convenient search and filtering functionalities are provided, enabling users to quickly find the desired content or services.

3. Ranking and Reputation: A ranking and reputation system is established within the district, aiding users in identifying high-quality products or services.

4. Payment and Invoicing: Support for secure payment and invoicing systems ensures the reliability and transparency of transactions.

On the district0x network, the core of each district is the d0xINFRA Web3 framework. This framework consists of Solidity smart contracts and frontend libraries distributed on IPFS, powering the essential functionalities of the districts. d0xINFRA is designed to be open-source and scalable, allowing for the implementation of unique features and enhancements through plugin auxiliary modules. The backend logic is controlled by a set of d0xINFRA contracts and a set of region-specific contracts, shared across all districts on the network. The design of d0xINFRA enables districts to implement unique features and enhanced functionalities through plugin auxiliary modules.

As a system for coordinating operations, the emergence of Aragon injects new vitality into decentralized governance. As a model for framework design, Ethlance represents the original district and serves as a sandbox for improving d0xINFRA. On this framework, new markets are emerging. ENS Bazaar will provide a peer-to-peer marketplace for exchanging names registered through the Ethereum Name Service, offering users a discoverable registry. Inspired by the Curator Market model, Meme Factory will be a platform for creating provably rare digital assets that can be exchanged immediately on the Ethereum blockchain.

On the district0x network, we usher in a new era of decentralized governance. However, to ensure that every network citizen can participate in the governance of the districts and to ensure coordinated decision-making for the districts, an effective mechanism is needed. Aragon’s emergence fills this gap.

The emergence of Aragon has injected new vitality into decentralized governance. As a groundbreaking platform, Aragon aims to deploy unstoppable companies and entities, providing an operating system for decentralized autonomous organizations. It streamlines organizational management and promotes collective coordination by offering economic incentives. On the district0x network, Aragon’s governance model establishes a solid foundation for regional autonomy, enabling users to participate in the decision-making process and collectively build a fairer and more transparent market environment.

To achieve regional autonomy, we have introduced the District0x Network Token (DNT). DNT is a staking token used by holders to join districts and participate in their governance. Users holding DNT have voting rights within districts and can participate in important decisions concerning them. Additionally, DNT will be used to govern various aspects of the District0x Network and decide on the deployment of future districts through a weighted voting mechanism.

While the ideals are lofty, whether the District0x Network can translate them into reality will test the project’s operational capabilities. The future development of the District0x Network will depend on its ability to continuously drive technological innovation, expand the ecosystem, attract more users and partners, and adapt to regulatory environments and market changes. By introducing decentralized governance and district self-management mechanisms, the District0x Network aims to achieve sustainable development and prosperity. With its strong technical foundation, clear vision and strategy, and initial market successes, District0x is poised to become a significant player in the decentralized marketplace and community sectors. However, its success will also hinge on changes in the external market environment, the sustainability of technological innovation, and the activity and commitment of the community. Moving forward, District0x will continue to focus on meeting community needs, fostering innovation, and growing and strengthening together with its community members.

In the booming development of blockchain technology, environmental protection is gradually becoming a highly regarded field. Silencio, as one of the pioneers in this trend, is leveraging blockchain technology to combat noise pollution. Their approach involves innovatively applying decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs), empowering individuals and communities to monitor, report, and manage noise.

Silencio firmly believes that addressing environmental issues requires community involvement. They enable community members to contribute to detailed, real-time, and hyperlocal noise maps, thus promoting shared responsibility and positive attitudes towards improving quality of life. This participatory model ensures that everyone has the ability and means to drive change, making environmental action more tangible and impactful for the general public.

Since the start of the Beta Phase implementation, Silencio has successfully engaged 190,000 users globally in their project.

DePINs are built on blockchain technology, which is one of the reasons that makes them truly revolutionary. In addition to supporting infrastructure, blockchain introduces a novel incentive mechanism, namely token rewards. This system drives a sustainable model known as the DePIN flywheel, where token rewards incentivize infrastructure deployment and provide services and rewards to contributors, thereby fueling further growth and participation.

By issuing tokens, participants in DePINs are rewarded for their contributions, whether it’s sharing data, maintaining infrastructure, or contributing resources. This not only ensures the sustainability and growth of the network but also democratizes the benefits of infrastructure. By integrating token rewards, DePINs leverage a cycle of self-sustaining growth and improvement, encouraging broader participation and investment in the network.

DePINs leverages crowdsourcing for infrastructure development, rapidly expanding at lower costs. They distribute ownership and benefits to community members, accelerating growth faster than traditional models. Decentralization ensures power and control dispersion, enhancing security, while transparency makes unauthorized alterations difficult.

The deep integration of decentralization with the eco-friendly concept of DePINs fills Silencio’s future with promise. Silencio’s application along with DePINs’ infrastructure network demonstrate how blockchain promotes data transparency and community involvement, thereby enhancing our quality of life.

Silencio employs blockchain technology and the power of smartphones to combat noise pollution, offering real-time solutions to communities by collecting hyper-local noise data. Simultaneously, DePINs, as a decentralized entity infrastructure network, incentivizes users to participate in infrastructure deployment and operation through token rewards, thereby enhancing urban living standards.

The combination of these two projects showcases the importance of blockchain technology in environmental solutions. Through transparency and reward mechanisms, DePINs expands its network, offering innovative possibilities across industries. Silencio and DePINs represent the fusion of virtual and physical economies, paving the way for a more sustainable future.

Over the next few years, Silencio and DePINs are expected to continue growing, making greater contributions to environmental protection and social improvement. Their success depends on smart design, community involvement, and service quality, which will play crucial roles in their future development. With blockchain technology maturing and applications advancing, we can anticipate these projects thriving in 2024 and 2025, bringing positive change to our society.

EigenLayer has garnered widespread attention in the blockchain world, introducing two new primitives: ReStaking and AVS (Active Verification Service).

By combining ReStaking and AVS, EigenLayer has formed a comprehensive business model. It abstracts the economic security of Ethereum's PoS consensus into a "lite" version of AVS with lower consensus security but reduced costs, thus providing more economical consensus security services for various projects in the market. This allows EigenLayer to serve projects with lower consensus security requirements at a lower cost, expanding the application scenarios of the Ethereum ecosystem.

These primitives not only bring new business models to the Ethereum ecosystem but also offer developers and users new possibilities. This article will delve into EigenLayer's AVS, exploring its operational mechanisms, application scenarios, and future developments.

Interpreting Ethereum's Business Model: As a blockchain giant, Ethereum's business model primarily revolves around selling block space to general Rollup L2 (Layer 2 scaling solutions). Rollup L2 packages state data and transactions onto Ethereum's mainnet smart contracts by paying GAS fees, storing them in the form of calldata on the Ethereum mainnet.

Final, these data are ordered by the consensus layer of Ethereum and included in the block. The essence of this process is Ethereum's active validation of Rollup L2's state data consistency.

Introduction to ReStaking Concept: ReStaking is a new primitive introduced by EigenLayer to enhance the economic security of Ethereum's Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus through a re-staking mechanism. Simply put, ReStaking allows users to restake already staked ETH or Liquidity Staking Tokens (LST) to earn additional staking rewards. This mechanism not only enhances the security of the Ethereum network but also provides stakers with an additional source of income.

Introduction to AVS Concept: AVS, namely Active Verification Service, is another key primitive of EigenLayer. It abstracts the Ethereum consensus process into a new primitive, enabling different projects to leverage this consensus security to enhance their own security. The target market of AVS mainly includes projects with lower requirements for consensus security, such as Dapp Rollups, oracle networks, cross-chain bridges, MPC multi-signature networks, and trusted execution environments.

Background of AVS and Corresponding Industry Pain Points: The introduction of AVS is to address several key pain points that have long existed in the blockchain industry:

1. Security and Economic Costs:

In traditional blockchain projects, developers need to independently build and maintain their own consensus mechanisms, which not only takes time and effort but also requires a considerable amount of economic costs. For many startups and small-scale applications, this is a significant barrier. AVS significantly reduces the cost and complexity of project development by providing shared consensus security, enabling more innovative projects to emerge in the Ethereum ecosystem.

1. Decentralization and Trust Issues:

Many blockchain applications rely on decentralized verification services, but building a reliable decentralized network requires a significant amount of resources and technical accumulation. AVS abstracts Ethereum's consensus security into a service, providing a standardized solution to help projects quickly build decentralized verification networks, enhancing trust and reliability.

1. Scalability and Flexibility:

As blockchain technology advances, application scenarios become more diverse. Traditional blockchain architectures are increasingly constrained when facing these new demands. AVS's modular design allows developers to flexibly choose and combine different verification services according to specific requirements, achieving efficient scalability and flexibility to meet various complex application needs.

Introduction to AVS Operational Mechanism: The operational mechanism of AVS can be divided into the following key steps:

1. Task Generation and Publication:

AVS first generates tasks that need to be verified and publishes these tasks to the EigenLayer network. Tasks can include data validation, transaction sorting, or other distributed verification operations.

1. Operator Receives Tasks:

Operators registered on the EigenLayer network receive these tasks and perform the corresponding verification operations. Operators need to run specialized node software and perform calculations and verification according to task requirements.

1. Task Verification and Signing:

After completing the tasks, operators sign the results and send the signed results to the task aggregator. The signing process ensures the authenticity and integrity of the task results.

1. Result Aggregation and Publication:

The task aggregator collects signed results from different operators and aggregates them. Once the predetermined quorum threshold is reached, the aggregated results are published to EigenLayer's smart contracts.

1. Dispute Resolution:

After the task results are published, anyone can dispute the results. Dispute resolution contracts handle these disputes and penalize dishonest operators if necessary.

Through this mechanism, AVS ensures the decentralization and security of the verification process while providing flexible verification services.

Applications of AVS: AVS has wide-ranging applications in the blockchain ecosystem, here are several typical scenarios:

1. Dapp Rollup:

Dapp Rollup is one of the key application scenarios for AVS. By leveraging AVS, Dapp Rollup can build more efficient and secure applications on top of Ethereum, including decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, and social networks.

1. Oracle Networks:

Oracle networks rely on the reliability and security of external data sources. Through AVS, oracle networks can enhance the security of their data verification, thus providing more reliable data services for applications like DeFi.

1. Cross-chain bridges:

Cross-chain bridges facilitate the exchange of data and assets across different blockchains. AVS enhances the security of cross-chain bridges, ensuring the safe transfer of data and assets between different blockchains.

1. MPC Multi-signature Networks:

MPC multi-signature networks rely on the cooperation of multiple parties to complete signatures. With AVS, the security and reliability of cooperation can be improved, applicable in areas like multi-party computation and privacy-preserving computation.

1. Trusted Execution Environments:

Trusted execution environments require code execution in trusted hardware. AVS enhances the security of execution environments, ensuring the integrity and security of code executed in trusted hardware.

Core advantages and application scenarios of AVS: AVS not only brings new application scenarios to the Ethereum ecosystem but also has the following advantages:

1. Enhanced economic security:

Through ReStaking, AVS can utilize the existing PoS consensus of Ethereum to enhance economic security, reducing the entry barriers for developers and users.

1. Cost reduction:

AVS abstracts consensus security into a "basic version" of AVS, reducing the cost of consensus security services, making it accessible to more projects.

1. Increased flexibility:

AVS provides flexible consensus security services for various projects, enabling them to better perform in different application scenarios.

It's worth noting that with the development of the EigenLayer ecosystem, the future application prospects of AVS will be even broader. Here are some potential future directions:

1. Expanding into more application scenarios:

AVS can expand into more application scenarios in fields such as supply chain management, Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI), driving the development of these areas by providing efficient consensus security services.

1. Improving scalability:

As blockchain technology continues to evolve, AVS can optimize its architecture to improve system scalability to meet more application demands and higher transaction volumes.

1. Strengthening interoperability with other blockchains:

By interoperating with other blockchains, AVS can provide more comprehensive consensus security services, promoting the development and adoption of cross-chain applications.

Closing Remark: AVS is poised to become a significant application sector in the blockchain world. EigenLayer's AVS introduces innovative ReStaking and AVS primitives, bringing forth fresh business models and application scenarios to the Ethereum ecosystem.

By providing inexpensive and efficient consensus security services, AVS not only expands the application boundaries of Ethereum but also opens up new possibilities for the future development of the blockchain ecosystem.

With technology advancing continuously and applications expanding, AVS is poised to become a crucial component of the blockchain world in the future.

I was recently reminded by @cryotosensei that I have a bunch of Minds tokens from the Before-Times (how I think of time before Stacker News). I'm planning on spending them all boosting a post about Stacker News. I have enough tokens to reach something like 1,000 people.

What I'd like to hear from my fellow stackers is what your best short pitch for Stacker News is.

If you're not familiar with Minds, it's an alternative social media platform that's dedicated to free speech. I'd say the likely audience is right-of-center politically and really into independence and alternatives to establishment systems.

An ideal Minds post would look a lot like an ideal X post, as they're pretty similarly designed platforms.

The two aspects I'm inclined to focus on are the diversity of content and the high level of engagement, but I want to know what you all find most compelling about SN.
