2025-04-23 08:54:57CHAPTER TEN
Gasps rippled through the hall as James strode in confidently, his PA by his side. The expensive fabric of his suit gleaned Helen's jaw dropped, her fingers freezing mid-tap. She instinctively clutched Christopher’s arm under the chandeliers, its impeccable fit accentuating his regal posture. Every eye was locked onto him, disbelief spreading across the faces of those who had once looked down on him.
"That can’t be James… It must be one of rich friends who lent him that suit!"
Christopher remained speechless, his face paling as realization dawned. Robert, sitting across from them, stared wide-eyed at James, his mind racing to piece together what was happening.
James walked straight to the front of the hall, his PA pulling out a chair for him. He sat down calmly, scanning the room with a faint smirk. He could see the stunned expressions, the silent questions dancing in their eyes.
"Ladies and gentlemen," the event host finally announced, clearing his throat. "Please welcome Mr. James, the President of JP Enterprises."
A wave of murmurs swept through the hall, disbelief clashing with admiration. The Ray family sat frozen in place, Helen clutching the armrest so tightly her knuckles turned white.
James leaned forward, clasping his hands together. "Shall we begin?" he said, his voice smooth yet firm, carrying the weight of a man who had risen from the ashes.
The meeting commenced, but Helen couldn’t focus. Her mind reeled from the shocking truth James, the man she had humiliated and cast aside, was not just successful; he was now one of the most powerful businessmen in the room.
"How dare you lay your hands on me? Do you know who I am?" Mark roared as the security guards tightened their grip on his arms, dragging him toward the exit of the grand conference hall.
The murmurs in the room grew louder, investors and company representatives whispering among themselves as they watched the Prime Minister's son being forcefully removed. Mark struggled, his face flushed red with anger and embarrassment.
"Sir, please don't make this harder than it has to be. You are not an authorized investor," one of the guards said firmly.
Mark's glare was searing as he turned his head towards James, who stood calmly at the head table, watching the entire scene unfold. "You!" Mark spat. "You planned this, didn’t you? You set me up to be humiliated like this!"
James arched an eyebrow, folding his arms across his chest. "No, Mark. You did this to yourself. You thought you could walk in here, throwing your weight around without proper authorization. This is a professional investment summit, not your playground."
Helen, sitting across the hall, clenched her fists. "How can they do this to Mark? He is a valuable investor!" she whispered furiously to her husband, Christopher, who was too stunned to respond.
Mark twisted in the guards' grip, his voice dripping with venom. "I swear, James, you will regret this. You think you can humiliate me in front of these elites? I will make you pay for this!"
James met his gaze with a calm but firm expression. "Mark, threats won’t change reality. You came here thinking your name alone could buy you a seat at the table. But in business, it's about credibility, not status. And today, you just proved to everyone here that you have none."
The room remained silent as the guards escorted Mark out. His loud protests echoed through the hallway before the grand doors finally shut behind him.
Rita sat in her chair, her heart pounding. She knew Mark was dangerous when scorned. She turned to James, worry evident in her eyes. "James, you know he won’t let this go, right?"
James exhaled slowly, nodding. "I know, Rita. And I'm ready for whatever he plans next."
The hall remained hushed for a moment before the moderator cleared his throat. "Now that the disruption has been handled, let us proceed with the investment discussions. Mr. James, as the President of JP Enterprises, you have the floor."
James stepped forward, commanding the attention of every business mogul in the room. He knew this was just the beginning, but one thing was certain Mark had declared war, and James was ready for battle.

2025-04-23 06:39:15有时候写点日志,可以 记录一点琐碎的事情。
! 也许这就是 这就是 这个blog存在的原因吧。
如何将docsify 变成一个渲染blog的 工具
我用了很多办法,但是关键点还是这个 方法。 无须配置 window.$docsify ={} ```js $: if (blogItem) {
compiledContent = window.__current_docsify_compiler__.compile(blogItem.content); }
```
直接用内容的 功能转换。
但是渲染的时候要注意:
html <article class="markdown-section" id="main"> {@html compiledContent} </article>
内容要加上这个外框,这个问题我调试了一天在知道...原来是少了他,导致缺少很多东西。
如何上传背景图片?
- 一定要点击 封面图区域的空白处, 让 编辑框失去焦点。
- 再 把鼠标放在 虚线封面图区域,就可以ctrl+v 粘贴截图了。
其他使用事项,我想起来再写吧。

2025-04-23 06:07:54Soil water potential refers to the potential energy of water in the soil, which is the driving force for the movement and distribution of water in the soil. It reflects the activity and energy level of soil water, and has a direct impact on plant water absorption and soil water retention capacity. Changes in soil water potential can reflect the effectiveness of soil water, which in turn affects plant growth and the effectiveness of soil nutrients. The following are the specific effects of soil water potential on soil:
Effects on plant water absorption Soil water potential directly affects the water absorption process of plants. Increases in osmotic potential and matrix potential can promote plant water absorption, while increases in gravity potential and pressure potential can hinder plant water absorption. For example, when soil water potential is high, the ability of water to move from high concentration to low concentration is enhanced, which is conducive to plant roots absorbing water.
Effects on soil water distribution Soil texture has a great influence on water permeability and water retention, thereby affecting soil water potential. Clay soils are more likely to form high water potential, while sandy soils are more likely to form low water potential. The amount of rainfall will also affect soil water potential. A lot of rainfall will increase the moisture in the soil, leading to an increase in soil water potential, while a lot of rainfall will reduce soil water potential.
Impact on soil temperature Soil water potential is also related to soil temperature. Soil temperature affects the evaporation and infiltration rate of water in the soil, thereby affecting soil water potential. In addition, the moisture content in the soil will also affect the heat capacity of the soil. Soil with high moisture content has the slowest heating and cooling rates.
Impact on soil fertility There is a close relationship between soil water potential and soil fertility. Appropriate soil water potential is conducive to soil microbial activity, nutrient conversion, and root absorption of water and nutrients. Changes in groundwater levels will also affect soil fertility. When the groundwater level rises, dissolved substances in the groundwater will enter the soil and increase soil fertility; on the contrary, when the groundwater level drops, the nutrients in the soil will decrease with the loss of groundwater.
Impact on soil structure Changes in soil water potential can affect soil structure. For example, the rise and fall of the groundwater level can cause particles in the soil to move and change the soil texture. Clay particles become more sticky under the action of water, and sandy soil may be lost due to water erosion. Therefore, measures need to be taken to strengthen soil conservation, such as covering with plants and building dams to reduce soil loss.
In summary, soil water potential has many effects on soil, including plant water absorption, soil moisture distribution, soil temperature, soil fertility, and soil structure. Understanding and managing soil water potential is of great significance to agricultural production, environmental protection, and ecological balance.

2025-04-23 06:04:20NIP-28
Public Chat
draft
optional
This NIP defines new event kinds for public chat channels, channel messages, and basic client-side moderation.
It reserves five event kinds (40-44) for immediate use:
40 - channel create
41 - channel metadata
42 - channel message
43 - hide message
44 - mute user
Client-centric moderation gives client developers discretion over what types of content they want included in their apps, while imposing no additional requirements on relays.
Kind 40: Create channel
Create a public chat channel.
In the channel creation
content
field, Client SHOULD include basic channel metadata (name
,about
,picture
andrelays
as specified in kind 41).jsonc { "content": "{\"name\": \"Demo Channel\", \"about\": \"A test channel.\", \"picture\": \"https://placekitten.com/200/200\", \"relays\": [\"wss://nos.lol\", \"wss://nostr.mom\"]}", // other fields... }
Kind 41: Set channel metadata
Update a channel's public metadata.
Kind 41 is used to update the metadata without modifying the event id for the channel. Only the most recent kind 41 per
e
tag value MAY be available.Clients SHOULD ignore kind 41s from pubkeys other than the kind 40 pubkey.
Clients SHOULD support basic metadata fields:
name
- string - Channel nameabout
- string - Channel descriptionpicture
- string - URL of channel picturerelays
- array - List of relays to download and broadcast events to
Clients MAY add additional metadata fields.
Clients SHOULD use NIP-10 marked "e" tags to recommend a relay.
It is also possible to set the category name using the "t" tag. This category name can be searched and filtered.
jsonc { "content": "{\"name\": \"Updated Demo Channel\", \"about\": \"Updating a test channel.\", \"picture\": \"https://placekitten.com/201/201\", \"relays\": [\"wss://nos.lol\", \"wss://nostr.mom\"]}", "tags": [ ["e", <channel_create_event_id>, <relay-url>, "root"], ["t", <category_name-1>], ["t", <category_name-2>], ["t", <category_name-3>], ], // other fields... }
Kind 42: Create channel message
Send a text message to a channel.
Clients SHOULD use NIP-10 marked "e" tags to recommend a relay and specify whether it is a reply or root message.
Clients SHOULD append NIP-10 "p" tags to replies.
Root message:
jsonc { "content": <string>, "tags": [["e", <kind_40_event_id>, <relay-url>, "root"]], // other fields... }
Reply to another message:
jsonc { "content": <string>, "tags": [ ["e", <kind_40_event_id>, <relay-url>, "root"], ["e", <kind_42_event_id>, <relay-url>, "reply"], ["p", <pubkey>, <relay-url>], // rest of tags... ], // other fields... }
Kind 43: Hide message
User no longer wants to see a certain message.
The
content
may optionally include metadata such as areason
.Clients SHOULD hide event 42s shown to a given user, if there is an event 43 from that user matching the event 42
id
.Clients MAY hide event 42s for other users other than the user who sent the event 43.
(For example, if three users 'hide' an event giving a reason that includes the word 'pornography', a Nostr client that is an iOS app may choose to hide that message for all iOS clients.)
jsonc { "content": "{\"reason\": \"Dick pic\"}", "tags": [["e", <kind_42_event_id>]], // other fields... }
js function add(a,b){ returun a+b; }
Kind 44: Mute user
User no longer wants to see messages from another user.
The
content
may optionally include metadata such as areason
.Clients SHOULD hide event 42s shown to a given user, if there is an event 44 from that user matching the event 42
pubkey
.Clients MAY hide event 42s for users other than the user who sent the event 44.
jsonc { "content": "{\"reason\": \"Posting dick pics\"}", "tags": [["p", <pubkey>]], // other fields... }
Relay recommendations
Clients SHOULD use the relay URLs of the metadata events.
Clients MAY use any relay URL. For example, if a relay hosting the original kind 40 event for a channel goes offline, clients could instead fetch channel data from a backup relay, or a relay that clients trust more than the original relay.
Motivation
If we're solving censorship-resistant communication for social media, we may as well solve it also for Telegram-style messaging.
We can bring the global conversation out from walled gardens into a true public square open to all.

@ 8d34bd24:414be32b
2025-04-23 03:52:15I started writing a series on the signs of the End Times and how they align with what we are seeing in the world today. There are some major concerns with predicting the end times, so I decided I should insert a short post on “Can we know when the end times are coming?” Like many principles in the Bible, it takes looking at seemingly contradictory verses to reach the truth.
This Generation
Before I get into “Can we know?” I want to address one point that some will bring up against a future Rapture, Tribulation, and Millennium.
Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. (Matthew 24:34) {emphasis mine}
What generation is Jesus talking about. Most Christians that don’t believe in a future Rapture, Tribulation, and Millennium will point to this verse to support their point of view. The important question is, “What is Jesus referring to with the words ‘this generation’?”
Is it referring to the people He was talking to at that time? If so, since that generation died long ago, then Jesus’s predictions must have been fulfilled almost 2 millennia ago. The problem with this interpretation is that nothing resembling these predictions happened during that initial generation. You have to really twist His words to try to support that they were fulfilled. Also, John wrote in Revelation about future fulfillment. By that time, John was the last of the apostles still alive and that whole generation was pretty much gone.
If “this generation” doesn’t refer to the people Jesus was speaking to personally in that moment, then to whom does it refer? The verses immediately preceding talk about the signs that will occur right before the end times. If you take “this generation” to mean the people who saw the signs Jesus predicted, then everything suddenly makes sense. It also parallel’s Paul’s statement of consolation to those who thought they had been left behind,**
But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) {emphasis mine}
Some believers thought things were happening in their lifetime, but Paul gave them comfort that no believer would miss the end times rapture.
No One Knows
Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left. (Matthew 24:34-41) {emphasis mine}
This verse very explicitly says that no one, not even angels or Jesus, knows the exact day or hour of His coming.
So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, “Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority; but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.” (Acts 1:6-8)
In this verse Jesus again says that they cannot know the time of His return, but based on context, He is explaining that this generation needs to focus on sharing the Gospel with world and not primarily on the kingdom. Is this Jesus’s way of telling them that they would not be alive to see His return, but they would be responsible for “sharing the Gospel even to the remotest part of the earth?”
Therefore we do know that predicting the exact date of His return is a fool’s errand and should not be attempted, but does this mean we can’t know when it is fast approaching?
We Should Know
There is an opposing passage, though.
The Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and testing Jesus, they asked Him to show them a sign from heaven. But He replied to them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times? An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and a sign will not be given it, except the sign of Jonah.” And He left them and went away. (Matthew 16:1-4) {emphasis mine}
In this passage, Jesus reprimands the Pharisees and Sadducees because, although they can rightly read the signs of the weather, they were unable to know and understand the prophecies of His first coming. Especially as the religious leaders, they should’ve been able to determine that Jesus’s coming was imminent and that He was fulfilling the prophetic Scriptures.
In Luke, when Jesus is discussing His second coming with His disciples, He tells this parable:
Then He told them a parable: “Behold the fig tree and all the trees; as soon as they put forth leaves, you see it and know for yourselves that summer is now near. So you also, when you see these things happening, recognize that the kingdom of God is near. (Luke 21:29-31) {emphasis mine}
Jesus would not have given this parable if there were not signs of His coming that we can recognize.
We are expected to know the Scriptures and to study them looking for the signs of His second coming. We can’t know the hour or the day, but we can know that the time is fast approaching. We shouldn’t set dates, but we should search anxiously for the signs of His coming. We shouldn’t be like the scoffers that question His literal fulfillment of His promises:
Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.” For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water, through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:3-9) {emphasis mine}
One thing is certain, we are closer to Jesus’s second coming than we have ever been and must be ready as we see the day approaching.
May the God of heaven give you a desire and urgency to share the Gospel with all those around you and to grow your faith, knowledge, and relationship with Him, so you can finish the race well, with no regrets. May the knowledge that Jesus could be coming soon give you an eternal perspective on life, so you put more of your time into things of eternal consequence and don’t get overwhelmed with things of the world which are here today and then are gone.
Trust Jesus.
FYI, I hope to write several more articles on the end times (signs of the times, the rapture, the millennium, and the judgement), but I might be a bit slow rolling them out because I want to make sure they are accurate and well supported by Scripture. You can see my previous posts on the end times on the end times tab at trustjesus.substack.com. I also frequently will list upcoming posts.

ຫຼາຍຄົນພົບຄວາມຫຍຸ້ງຍາກໃນການເຂົ້າໃຈ Bitcoin ເພາະວ່າພວກເຂົາຍັງບໍ່ເຂົ້າໃຈບັນຫາພື້ນຖານຂອງລະບົບເງິນທີ່ມີຢູ່ຂອງພວກເຮົາ. ລະບົບນີ້, ທີ່ມັກຖືກຮັບຮູ້ວ່າມີຄວາມໝັ້ນຄົງ, ມີຂໍ້ບົກພ່ອງໃນການອອກແບບທີ່ມີມາແຕ່ດັ້ງເດີມ ເຊິ່ງສົ່ງຜົນຕໍ່ຄວາມບໍ່ສະເໝີພາບທາງເສດຖະກິດ ແລະ ການເຊື່ອມເສຍຂອງຄວາມຮັ່ງມີສຳລັບພົນລະເມືອງທົ່ວໄປ. ການເຂົ້າໃຈບັນຫາເຫຼົ່ານີ້ແມ່ນກຸນແຈສຳຄັນເພື່ອເຂົ້າໃຈທ່າແຮງຂອງວິທີແກ້ໄຂທີ່ Bitcoin ສະເໜີ.
ບົດບາດຂອງກະຊວງການຄັງສະຫະລັດ ແລະ ທະນາຄານກາງ
ລະບົບເງິນຕາປັດຈຸບັນໃນສະຫະລັດອາເມລິກາປະກອບມີການເຊື່ອມໂຍງທີ່ຊັບຊ້ອນລະຫວ່າງກະຊວງການຄັງສະຫະລັດ ແລະ ທະນາຄານກາງ. ກະຊວງການຄັງສະຫະລັດເຮັດໜ້າທີ່ເປັນບັນຊີທະນາຄານຂອງປະເທດ, ເກັບອາກອນ ແລະ ສະໜັບສະໜູນລາຍຈ່າຍຂອງລັດຖະບານເຊັ່ນ: ທະຫານ, ໂຄງລ່າງພື້ນຖານ ແລະ ໂຄງການສັງຄົມ. ເຖິງຢ່າງໃດກໍຕາມ, ລັດຖະບານມັກໃຊ້ຈ່າຍຫຼາຍກວ່າທີ່ເກັບໄດ້, ເຊິ່ງເຮັດໃຫ້ຕ້ອງໄດ້ຢືມເງິນ. ການຢືມນີ້ແມ່ນເຮັດໂດຍການຂາຍພັນທະບັດລັດຖະບານ, ຊຶ່ງມັນຄືໃບ IOU ທີ່ສັນຍາວ່າຈະຈ່າຍຄືນຈຳນວນທີ່ຢືມພ້ອມດອກເບ້ຍ. ພັນທະບັດເຫຼົ່ານີ້ມັກຖືກຊື້ໂດຍທະນາຄານໃຫຍ່, ລັດຖະບານຕ່າງປະເທດ, ແລະ ທີ່ສຳຄັນ, ທະນາຄານກາງ.
ວິທີການສ້າງເງິນ (ຈາກອາກາດ)
ນີ້ແມ່ນບ່ອນທີ່ເກີດການສ້າງເງິນ "ຈາກອາກາດ". ເມື່ອທະນາຄານກາງຊື້ພັນທະບັດເຫຼົ່ານີ້, ມັນບໍ່ໄດ້ໃຊ້ເງິນທີ່ມີຢູ່ແລ້ວ; ມັນສ້າງເງິນໃໝ່ດ້ວຍວິທີການດິຈິຕອນໂດຍພຽງແຕ່ປ້ອນຕົວເລກເຂົ້າໃນຄອມພິວເຕີ. ເງິນໃໝ່ນີ້ຖືກເພີ່ມເຂົ້າໃນປະລິມານເງິນລວມ. ຍິ່ງສ້າງເງິນຫຼາຍຂຶ້ນ ແລະ ເພີ່ມເຂົ້າໄປ, ມູນຄ່າຂອງເງິນທີ່ມີຢູ່ແລ້ວກໍຍິ່ງຫຼຸດລົງ. ຂະບວນການນີ້ຄືສິ່ງທີ່ພວກເຮົາເອີ້ນວ່າເງິນເຟີ້. ເນື່ອງຈາກກະຊວງການຄັງຢືມຢ່າງຕໍ່ເນື່ອງ ແລະ ທະນາຄານກາງສາມາດພິມໄດ້ຢ່າງຕໍ່ເນື່ອງ, ສິ່ງນີ້ຖືກສະເໜີວ່າເປັນວົງຈອນທີ່ບໍ່ມີທີ່ສິ້ນສຸດ.
ການໃຫ້ກູ້ຢືມສະຫງວນບາງສ່ວນໂດຍທະນາຄານ
ເພີ່ມເຂົ້າໃນບັນຫານີ້ຄືການປະຕິບັດຂອງການໃຫ້ກູ້ຢືມສະຫງວນບາງສ່ວນໂດຍທະນາຄານ. ເມື່ອທ່ານຝາກເງິນເຂົ້າທະນາຄານ, ທະນາຄານຖືກຮຽກຮ້ອງໃຫ້ເກັບຮັກສາພຽງແຕ່ສ່ວນໜຶ່ງຂອງເງິນຝາກນັ້ນໄວ້ເປັນເງິນສະຫງວນ (ຕົວຢ່າງ, 10%). ສ່ວນທີ່ເຫຼືອ (90%) ສາມາດຖືກປ່ອຍກູ້. ເມື່ອຜູ້ກູ້ຢືມໃຊ້ຈ່າຍເງິນນັ້ນ, ມັນມັກຖືກຝາກເຂົ້າອີກທະນາຄານ, ເຊິ່ງຈາກນັ້ນກໍຈະເຮັດຊ້ຳຂະບວນການໃຫ້ກູ້ຢືມສ່ວນໜຶ່ງຂອງເງິນຝາກ. ວົງຈອນນີ້ເຮັດໃຫ້ເພີ່ມຈຳນວນເງິນທີ່ໝູນວຽນຢູ່ໃນລະບົບໂດຍອີງໃສ່ເງິນຝາກເບື້ອງຕົ້ນ, ເຊິ່ງສ້າງເງິນຜ່ານໜີ້ສິນ. ລະບົບນີ້ໂດຍທຳມະຊາດແລ້ວບອບບາງ; ຖ້າມີຫຼາຍຄົນພະຍາຍາມຖອນເງິນຝາກຂອງເຂົາເຈົ້າພ້ອມກັນ (ການແລ່ນທະນາຄານ), ທະນາຄານກໍຈະລົ້ມເພາະວ່າມັນບໍ່ໄດ້ເກັບຮັກສາເງິນທັງໝົດໄວ້. ເງິນໃນທະນາຄານບໍ່ປອດໄພຄືກັບທີ່ເຊື່ອກັນທົ່ວໄປ ແລະ ສາມາດຖືກແຊ່ແຂງໃນຊ່ວງວິກິດການ ຫຼື ສູນເສຍຖ້າທະນາຄານລົ້ມລະລາຍ (ຍົກເວັ້ນໄດ້ຮັບການຊ່ວຍເຫຼືອ).
ຜົນກະທົບ Cantillon: ໃຜໄດ້ຮັບຜົນປະໂຫຍດກ່ອນ
ເງິນທີ່ຖືກສ້າງຂຶ້ນໃໝ່ບໍ່ໄດ້ກະຈາຍຢ່າງເທົ່າທຽມກັນ. "ຜົນກະທົບ Cantillon", ບ່ອນທີ່ຜູ້ທີ່ຢູ່ໃກ້ກັບແຫຼ່ງສ້າງເງິນໄດ້ຮັບຜົນປະໂຫຍດກ່ອນ. ນີ້ລວມເຖິງລັດຖະບານເອງ (ສະໜັບສະໜູນລາຍຈ່າຍ), ທະນາຄານໃຫຍ່ ແລະ Wall Street (ໄດ້ຮັບທຶນໃນອັດຕາດອກເບ້ຍຕ່ຳສຳລັບການກູ້ຢືມ ແລະ ການລົງທຶນ), ແລະ ບໍລິສັດໃຫຍ່ (ເຂົ້າເຖິງເງິນກູ້ທີ່ຖືກກວ່າສຳລັບການລົງທຶນ). ບຸກຄົນເຫຼົ່ານີ້ໄດ້ຊື້ຊັບສິນ ຫຼື ລົງທຶນກ່ອນທີ່ຜົນກະທົບຂອງເງິນເຟີ້ຈະເຮັດໃຫ້ລາຄາສູງຂຶ້ນ, ເຊິ່ງເຮັດໃຫ້ພວກເຂົາມີຂໍ້ໄດ້ປຽບ.
ຜົນກະທົບຕໍ່ຄົນທົ່ວໄປ
ສຳລັບຄົນທົ່ວໄປ, ຜົນກະທົບຂອງປະລິມານເງິນທີ່ເພີ່ມຂຶ້ນນີ້ແມ່ນການເພີ່ມຂຶ້ນຂອງລາຄາສິນຄ້າ ແລະ ການບໍລິການ - ນ້ຳມັນ, ຄ່າເຊົ່າ, ການດູແລສຸຂະພາບ, ອາຫານ, ແລະ ອື່ນໆ. ເນື່ອງຈາກຄ່າແຮງງານໂດຍທົ່ວໄປບໍ່ທັນກັບອັດຕາເງິນເຟີ້ນີ້, ອຳນາດການຊື້ຂອງປະຊາຊົນຈະຫຼຸດລົງເມື່ອເວລາຜ່ານໄປ. ມັນຄືກັບການແລ່ນໄວຂຶ້ນພຽງເພື່ອຢູ່ໃນບ່ອນເກົ່າ.
Bitcoin: ທາງເລືອກເງິນທີ່ໝັ້ນຄົງ
ຄວາມຂາດແຄນ: ບໍ່ຄືກັບເງິນຕາ fiat, Bitcoin ມີຂີດຈຳກັດສູງສຸດໃນປະລິມານຂອງມັນ. ຈະມີພຽງ 21 ລ້ານ Bitcoin ເທົ່ານັ້ນຖືກສ້າງຂຶ້ນ, ຂີດຈຳກັດນີ້ຝັງຢູ່ໃນໂຄດຂອງມັນ ແລະ ບໍ່ສາມາດປ່ຽນແປງໄດ້. ການສະໜອງທີ່ຈຳກັດນີ້ເຮັດໃຫ້ Bitcoin ເປັນເງິນຫຼຸດລາຄາ; ເມື່ອຄວາມຕ້ອງການເພີ່ມຂຶ້ນ, ມູນຄ່າຂອງມັນມີແນວໂນ້ມທີ່ຈະເພີ່ມຂຶ້ນເພາະວ່າປະລິມານການສະໜອງບໍ່ສາມາດຂະຫຍາຍຕົວ.
ຄວາມທົນທານ: Bitcoin ຢູ່ໃນ blockchain, ເຊິ່ງເປັນປຶ້ມບັນຊີສາທາລະນະທີ່ແບ່ງປັນກັນຂອງທຸກການເຮັດທຸລະກຳທີ່ແທບຈະເປັນໄປບໍ່ໄດ້ທີ່ຈະລຶບ ຫຼື ປ່ຽນແປງ. ປຶ້ມບັນຊີນີ້ຖືກກະຈາຍໄປທົ່ວພັນຄອມພິວເຕີ (nodes) ທົ່ວໂລກ. ແມ້ແຕ່ຖ້າອິນເຕີເນັດລົ້ມ, ເຄືອຂ່າຍສາມາດຢູ່ຕໍ່ໄປໄດ້ຜ່ານວິທີການອື່ນເຊັ່ນ: ດາວທຽມ ຫຼື ຄື້ນວິທະຍຸ. ມັນບໍ່ໄດ້ຮັບຜົນກະທົບຈາກການທຳລາຍທາງກາຍະພາບຂອງເງິນສົດ ຫຼື ການແຮັກຖານຂໍ້ມູນແບບລວມສູນ.
ການພົກພາ: Bitcoin ສາມາດຖືກສົ່ງໄປໃນທຸກບ່ອນໃນໂລກໄດ້ທັນທີ, 24/7, ດ້ວຍການເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ອິນເຕີເນັດ, ໂດຍບໍ່ຈຳເປັນຕ້ອງມີທະນາຄານ ຫຼື ການອະນຸຍາດຈາກພາກສ່ວນທີສາມ. ທ່ານສາມາດເກັບຮັກສາ Bitcoin ຂອງທ່ານໄດ້ດ້ວຍຕົນເອງໃນອຸປະກອນທີ່ເອີ້ນວ່າກະເປົາເຢັນ, ແລະ ຕາບໃດທີ່ທ່ານຮູ້ວະລີກະແຈລັບຂອງທ່ານ, ທ່ານສາມາດເຂົ້າເຖິງເງິນຂອງທ່ານຈາກກະເປົາທີ່ເຂົ້າກັນໄດ້, ເຖິງແມ່ນວ່າອຸປະກອນຈະສູນຫາຍ. ສິ່ງນີ້ສະດວກສະບາຍກວ່າ ແລະ ມີຄວາມສ່ຽງໜ້ອຍກວ່າການພົກພາເງິນສົດຈຳນວນຫຼາຍ ຫຼື ການນຳທາງການໂອນເງິນສາກົນທີ່ຊັບຊ້ອນ.
ການແບ່ງຍ່ອຍ: Bitcoin ສາມາດແບ່ງຍ່ອຍໄດ້ສູງ. ໜຶ່ງ Bitcoin ສາມາດແບ່ງເປັນ 100 ລ້ານໜ່ວຍຍ່ອຍທີ່ເອີ້ນວ່າ Satoshis, ເຊິ່ງອະນຸຍາດໃຫ້ສົ່ງ ຫຼື ຮັບຈຳນວນນ້ອຍໄດ້.
ຄວາມສາມາດໃນການທົດແທນກັນ: ໜຶ່ງ Bitcoin ທຽບເທົ່າກັບໜຶ່ງ Bitcoin ໃນມູນຄ່າ, ໂດຍທົ່ວໄປ. ໃນຂະນະທີ່ເງິນໂດລາແບບດັ້ງເດີມອາດສາມາດຖືກຕິດຕາມ, ແຊ່ແຂງ, ຫຼື ຍຶດໄດ້, ໂດຍສະເພາະໃນຮູບແບບດິຈິຕອນ ຫຼື ຖ້າຖືກພິຈາລະນາວ່າໜ້າສົງໄສ, ແຕ່ລະໜ່ວຍຂອງ Bitcoin ໂດຍທົ່ວໄປຖືກປະຕິບັດຢ່າງເທົ່າທຽມກັນ.
ການພິສູດຢັ້ງຢືນ: ທຸກການເຮັດທຸລະກຳ Bitcoin ຖືກບັນທຶກໄວ້ໃນ blockchain, ເຊິ່ງທຸກຄົນສາມາດເບິ່ງ ແລະ ພິສູດຢັ້ງຢືນ. ຂະບວນການພິສູດຢັ້ງຢືນທີ່ກະຈາຍນີ້, ດຳເນີນໂດຍເຄືອຂ່າຍ, ໝາຍຄວາມວ່າທ່ານບໍ່ຈຳເປັນຕ້ອງເຊື່ອຖືທະນາຄານ ຫຼື ສະຖາບັນໃດໜຶ່ງແບບມືດບອດເພື່ອຢືນຢັນຄວາມຖືກຕ້ອງຂອງເງິນຂອງທ່ານ.
ການຕ້ານການກວດກາ: ເນື່ອງຈາກບໍ່ມີລັດຖະບານ, ບໍລິສັດ, ຫຼື ບຸກຄົນໃດຄວບຄຸມເຄືອຂ່າຍ Bitcoin, ບໍ່ມີໃຜສາມາດຂັດຂວາງທ່ານຈາກການສົ່ງ ຫຼື ຮັບ Bitcoin, ແຊ່ແຂງເງິນຂອງທ່ານ, ຫຼື ຍຶດມັນ. ມັນເປັນລະບົບທີ່ບໍ່ຕ້ອງຂໍອະນຸຍາດ, ເຊິ່ງໃຫ້ຜູ້ໃຊ້ຄວບຄຸມເຕັມທີ່ຕໍ່ເງິນຂອງເຂົາເຈົ້າ.
ການກະຈາຍອຳນາດ: Bitcoin ຖືກຮັກສາໂດຍເຄືອຂ່າຍກະຈາຍຂອງບັນດາຜູ້ຂຸດທີ່ໃຊ້ພະລັງງານການຄິດໄລ່ເພື່ອຢັ້ງຢືນການເຮັດທຸລະກຳຜ່ານ "proof of work". ລະບົບທີ່ກະຈາຍນີ້ຮັບປະກັນວ່າບໍ່ມີຈຸດໃດຈຸດໜຶ່ງທີ່ຈະລົ້ມເຫຼວ ຫຼື ຄວບຄຸມ. ທ່ານບໍ່ໄດ້ເພິ່ງພາຂະບວນການທີ່ບໍ່ໂປ່ງໃສຂອງທະນາຄານກາງ; ລະບົບທັງໝົດໂປ່ງໃສຢູ່ໃນ blockchain. ສິ່ງນີ້ເຮັດໃຫ້ບຸກຄົນມີອຳນາດທີ່ຈະເປັນທະນາຄານຂອງຕົນເອງແທ້ ແລະ ຮັບຜິດຊອບຕໍ່ການເງິນຂອງເຂົາເຈົ້າ.

2025-04-23 01:57:57🔧 Infrastructure Overview
- Hardware: Raspberry Pi 5 with PCIe NVMe HAT and 2TB NVMe SSD
- Filesystem: ZFS with separate datasets for each service
- Networking: Docker bridge networks for service segmentation
- Privacy: Tor and I2P routing for anonymous communication
- Public Access: Cloudflare Tunnel to securely expose LNbits
📊 Architecture Diagram
🛠️ Setup Steps
1. Prepare the System
- Install Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit)
- Set up ZFS on the NVMe disk
- Create a ZFS dataset for each service (e.g.,
bitcoin
,lnd
,rtl
,lnbits
,tor-data
) - Install Docker and Docker Compose
2. Create Shared Docker Network and Privacy Layers
Create a shared Docker bridge network:
bash docker network create \ --driver=bridge \ --subnet=192.168.100.0/24 \ bitcoin-net
Note: Connect
bitcoind
,lnd
,rtl
, internallnbits
,tor
, andi2p
to thisbitcoin-net
network.Tor
- Run Tor in a container
- Configure it to expose LND's gRPC and REST ports via hidden services:
HiddenServicePort 10009 192.168.100.31:10009 HiddenServicePort 8080 192.168.100.31:8080
- Set correct permissions:
bash sudo chown -R 102:102 /zfs/datasets/tor-data
I2P
- Run I2P in a container with SAM and SOCKS proxies
- Update
bitcoin.conf
:i2psam=192.168.100.20:7656 i2pacceptincoming=1
3. Set Up Bitcoin Core
- Create a
bitcoin.conf
with Tor/I2P/proxy settings and ZMQ enabled - Sync the blockchain in a container using its ZFS dataset
4. Set Up LND
- Configure
lnd.conf
to connect tobitcoind
and use Tor: ```ini [Bitcoind] bitcoind.rpchost=bitcoin:8332 bitcoind.rpcuser=bitcoin bitcoind.rpcpass=very-hard-password bitcoind.zmqpubrawblock=tcp://bitcoin:28332 bitcoind.zmqpubrawtx=tcp://bitcoin:28333
[Application Options] externalip=xxxxxxxx.onion
`` - Don’t expose gRPC or REST ports publicly - Mount the ZFS dataset at
/root/.lnd` - Optionally enable Watchtower5. Set Up RTL
- Mount
RTL-Config.json
and data volumes - Expose RTL's web interface locally:
```yaml
ports:
- "3000:3000" ```
6. Set Up Internal LNbits
- Connect the LNbits container to
bitcoin-net
- Mount the data directory and LND cert/macaroons (read-only)
- Expose the LNbits UI on the local network:
```yaml
ports:
- "5000:5000" ```
- In the web UI, configure the funding source to point to the LND REST
.onion
address and paste the hex macaroon - Create and fund a wallet, and copy its Admin Key for external use
7. Set Up External LNbits + Cloudflare Tunnel
- Run another LNbits container on a separate Docker network
- Access the internal LNbits via the host IP and port 5000
- Use the Admin Key from the internal wallet to configure funding
- In the Cloudflare Zero Trust dashboard:
- Create a tunnel
- Select Docker, copy the
--token
command - Add to Docker Compose:
yaml command: tunnel --no-autoupdate run --token eyJ...your_token...
💾 Backup Strategy
- Bitcoin Core: hourly ZFS snapshots, retained for 6 hours
- Other Services: hourly snapshots with remote
.tar.gz
backups - Retention: 7d hourly, 30d daily, 12mo weekly, monthly forever
- Back up ZFS snapshots to avoid inconsistencies
🔐 Security Isolation Benefits
This architecture isolates services by scope and function:
- Internal traffic stays on
bitcoin-net
- Sensitive APIs (gRPC, REST) are reachable only via Tor
- Public access is controlled by Cloudflare Tunnel
Extra Security: Host the public LNbits on a separate machine (e.g., hardened VPS) with strict firewall rules:
- Allow only Cloudflare egress
- Allow ingress from your local IP
- Allow outbound access to internal LNbits (port 5000)
Use WireGuard VPN to secure the connection between external and internal LNbits:
- Ensures encrypted communication
- Restricts access to authenticated VPN peers
- Keeps the internal interface isolated from the public internet
✅ Final Notes
- Internal services communicate over
bitcoin-net
- LND interfaces are accessed via Tor only
- LNbits and RTL UIs are locally accessible
- Cloudflare Tunnel secures external access to LNbits
Monitor system health using
monit
,watchtower
, or Prometheus.Create all configuration files manually (
bitcoin.conf
,lnd.conf
,RTL-Config.json
), and keep credentials secure. Test every component locally before exposing it externally.⚡

2025-04-23 01:04:54ช่วงหลัง ๆ มานี้ ถ้าใครเดินผ่านชั้นนมในซูเปอร์ฯ แล้วสะดุดตากับกล่องสีเรียบ ๆ สไตล์สแกนดิเนเวียนที่เขียนคำว่า "OATLY!" ตัวใหญ่ ๆ ไม่ต้องแปลกใจ เพราะนี่คือเครื่องดื่มที่กำลังพยายามจะทำให้ทุกบ้านเชื่อว่า "ดื่มข้าวโอ๊ตแทนนมวัวคือสิ่งที่ดีต่อสุขภาพ ต่อโลก และต่อเด็ก ๆ"
Oatly ไม่ได้มาเล่น ๆ เป็นดาวรุ่งของวงการ plant-based dairy ทางเลือก ด้วยการตลาดที่เฉียบคมและอารมณ์ขันแบบขบถ เพราะบริษัทนี้เขาวางโพสิชั่นของตัวเองว่าเป็นนักสู้เพื่อสิ่งแวดล้อม ต่อต้านโลกร้อน และเป็นทางเลือกที่รักสัตว์รักโลกจนพืชยังปรบมือให้ แต่เบื้องหลังที่ดูคลีน ๆ กลับซ่อนกลยุทธ์ทางการตลาดที่แสบสันไม่เบา โดยเฉพาะการรณรงค์ในโรงเรียน และเทคนิคในการ “ซ่อนความหวาน” ได้อย่างแนบเนียนจนน้ำตาลยังงง
หวานแบบซ่อนรูปสูตรลับที่ไม่อยู่ในช่อง Sugar โอ๊ตมิลค์ของ Oatly มีคาร์บต่ำจริงตามฉลาก แต่ที่หลายคนไม่รู้คือ Oatly ใช้ เอนไซม์ย่อยแป้งจากข้าวโอ๊ต ให้กลายเป็นน้ำตาลมอลโทส ซึ่งมีรสหวานพอ ๆ กับน้ำตาลทราย แต่ไม่ต้องแสดงในช่อง Total Sugar บนฉลากโภชนาการ เพราะมันเกิดขึ้น "ตามธรรมชาติจากกระบวนการ" ซึ่งตรงตามเกณฑ์ FDA เป๊ะ
ความเจ้าเล่ห์ของระบบนี้คือ มอลโตสที่เกิดจากการย่อยแป้งด้วยเอนไซม์ ไม่ต้องนับเป็น “น้ำตาล” ในช่อง Sugar ของฉลากโภชนาการ เพราะมันถือเป็น “naturally occurring sugar” หรือ “น้ำตาลที่เกิดขึ้นเองตามธรรมชาติ” พูดง่ายๆ คือ หวานเหมือนโค้ก แต่ไม่ต้องบอกว่าใส่น้ำตาลเลยแม้แต่นิดเดียว! ในขณะที่เด็กๆ ดื่มแล้วบอกว่า “อร่อยมาก!” ผู้ใหญ่ก็เห็นฉลากแล้วบอกว่า “น้ำตาลแค่นิดเดียวเอง ดีจัง”… ความเข้าใจผิดแบบสองชั้นนี้คือการตลาดที่ชาญฉลาดแต่แฝงความไม่โปร่งใส
และเมื่อคุณไปอ่านงานวิจัยจะเจอว่า น้ำตาลมอลโตสที่ได้จากโอ๊ตผ่านกระบวนการย่อยแบบนี้ มีค่าดัชนีน้ำตาลสูงถึง 105-110 ซึ่งสูงกว่าโค้กเสียอีก (Coke อยู่ประมาณ 63) ส่งผลให้ระดับน้ำตาลในเลือดพุ่งอย่างรวดเร็ว และถ้าใครมีภาวะดื้อต่ออินซูลินหรืออยู่ในขอบเขต prediabetes ก็ยิ่งน่ากังวลเข้าไปใหญ่ พูดง่าย ๆ คือ Oatly หวาน แต่ไม่ต้องบอกว่าใส่น้ำตาล คนทั่วไปเลยเข้าใจผิดว่า “อ้าว มันไม่หวานนี่นา”
บางโรงเรียนในอังกฤษและสวีเดนเริ่มตั้งคำถามว่า การเปลี่ยนนมวัวที่อุดมไปด้วยไขมันดี โปรตีนสมบูรณ์ และแคลเซียม เข้าสู่ร่างกายเด็กๆ ให้กลายเป็น “นมโอ๊ตหวานแบบซ่อนรูป” แบบนี้ มันคือความยั่งยืนจริงๆ หรือเป็นเพียงการใช้ภาพรักษ์โลกบังหน้า แล้วขายคาร์บอย่างแนบเนียน โดยเฉพาะ The Telegraph ได้เผยแพร่บทความชื่อ “The truth about the great oat milk 'con'” ซึ่งกล่าวถึงการที่หน่วยงานกำกับดูแลโฆษณาในสหราชอาณาจักร (Advertising Standards Authority - ASA) สั่งห้ามโฆษณาบางรายการของบริษัท Oatly เนื่องจากพบว่ามีการให้ข้อมูลที่ทำให้ผู้บริโภคเข้าใจผิดเกี่ยวกับประโยชน์ต่อสิ่งแวดล้อมของการเปลี่ยนจากนมวัวเป็นนมจากพืช รวมถึง ภาพลักษณ์ “plant-based ดีต่อโลก” ถูกใช้เป็น เครื่องมือโฆษณาเชิงอารมณ์ โดยลดคุณค่าของนมวัวแท้ ๆ และสิ่งที่น่าตลกร้ายก็คือ…บริษัท Oatly เคยออกมาโจมตีอุตสาหกรรมนมวัวว่า “ไม่โปร่งใส” ขณะเดียวกันพวกเขาเองกลับโดนฟ้องร้องเรื่องการใช้โฆษณาเกินจริง และพยายามซุกซ่อนกระบวนการผลิตที่ทำให้เกิดน้ำตาลแบบ “ซ่อนในตาราง” เสียเอง
ไม่แปลกที่หลายคนในแวดวงโภชนาการแซวว่า "Oatmilk is the new Coke" เพราะมันหวานแบบไม่รู้ตัว ดื่มเพลินเหมือนน้ำอัดลม แต่สื่อสารราวกับเป็นน้ำเต้าหู้สายโยคะ โอเคเรื่องพวกนี้เอาจริงๆเคยคุยกันแล้วในรายการ ลองไปดูย้อนได้ครับ
แต่นั่นยังไม่เท่ากับสิ่งนี้ครับ “Normalize It!”: รณรงค์เข้ารร.แบบซอฟต์พาวเวอร์ ถ้าคิดว่าแค่ขายในซูเปอร์คือจุดหมาย ขอบอกว่า Oatly เล่นเกมไกลกว่านั้น เพราะเขาเปิดแคมเปญชื่อ “Normalize it!” ในหลายประเทศในยุโรป เช่น เยอรมนี สวีเดน และเนเธอร์แลนด์ โดยรณรงค์ให้ เครื่องดื่มจากพืชถูกบรรจุเป็นส่วนหนึ่งของ "โครงการนมโรงเรียน" ที่มีอยู่เดิมในระบบรัฐ ซึ่งแต่เดิมให้เฉพาะนมวัวเท่านั้น
ในโฆษณาแคมเปญนี้ มีการเล่นภาพเด็ก ๆ ที่แอบเอาโอ๊ตมิลค์ใส่กล่องนมโรงเรียน พร้อมประโยคชวนสะอึกว่า “เด็กควรต้องทำเองเหรอ?” (เหมือนจะบอกว่ารัฐควรรับหน้าที่แทน) ดูความแสบได้ที่นี่ https://youtu.be/D3d_GfGVq_I?si=3pi6VKnlJC2SDleW
มันฟังดูดีใช่ไหม...แต่ประเด็นคือ ใครเป็นคนได้ประโยชน์? คำตอบคือ บริษัทที่ขายโอ๊ตมิลค์นั่นแหละ
เพราะหากสำเร็จ โรงเรียนจำนวนมากในยุโรปจะต้องซื้อผลิตภัณฑ์จากพืชแทนหรือควบคู่กับนมวัว ทำให้บริษัทที่ขายเครื่องดื่มพืชกลายเป็นผู้ได้สัมปทานทางอ้อมในชื่อ “ความยั่งยืน”
Lobby แบบ “รักษ์โลก” แต่ก็ไม่ลืมรักษาผลประโยชน์ แคมเปญนี้ไม่ได้แค่โฆษณาเล่น ๆ แต่ยังมีการล็อบบี้ทางนโยบายในระดับสหภาพยุโรป (EU) โดยผลักดันให้เครื่องดื่มจากพืชที่มีการเสริมแคลเซียมได้รับการยอมรับเท่าเทียมกับนมวัว Oatly จึงไม่ได้แค่เป็นแบรนด์ข้าวโอ๊ตอีกต่อไป แต่กลายเป็น "นักกิจกรรม" ที่มีเป้าหมายใหญ่คือการเข้าไปอยู่ในระบบอาหารภาครัฐ โดยเฉพาะสำหรับเด็ก ๆ
ปัญหาคือไม่ใช่แค่ “พืช” แต่คือ “วิธีการสื่อสาร” ไม่มีใครเถียงว่าเด็กควรมีทางเลือกในอาหาร แต่เมื่อ “ข้อมูล” ที่ใช้สร้างภาพลักษณ์ผลิตภัณฑ์ถูกเรียบเรียงให้ดูดีเกินจริง โดยเฉพาะเมื่อซ่อนความหวานไว้ในกลไกทางเคมี และรณรงค์ให้เข้าสู่ระบบโรงเรียน มันก็กลายเป็นประเด็นที่เราควรถามว่า “เรากำลังให้เด็กกินอะไร เพราะอะไร และใครได้ประโยชน์จากสิ่งนั้น?” เครื่องดื่มจากพืชไม่ใช่ปีศาจ และนมวัวก็ไม่ใช่เทวดา แต่สิ่งที่น่ากลัวคือกลยุทธ์ที่หลอกให้คนเชื่อว่าทางเลือกหนึ่ง “ดีกว่า” โดยไม่ให้ข้อมูลครบถ้วน หรือยิ่งแย่กว่านั้นถ้าเป็นการตัดริดรอนสิทธิ์ในการเลือก
วันหนึ่งถ้าเด็ก ๆ ทุกคนได้ดื่มโอ๊ตมิลค์ที่หวานแต่ไม่เรียกว่าน้ำตาล เพราะใครบางคนบอกว่า “ดีต่อสุขภาพ” เราควรถามว่า “สุขภาพของใคร?” และ “ใครนิยามว่าอะไรคือดี?” เพราะบางครั้ง โลกที่ดูยั่งยืน อาจมีรากฐานมาจากการตลาดที่ยืนนาน
เรื่องนี้ไม่ได้เกี่ยวกับการเกลียดพืช หรือรังเกียจข้าวโอ๊ต หรือนมโอ้ต แต่มันเกี่ยวกับ ความจริงที่ถูกแต่งหน้าให้ดูดีเกินจริง ในนามของสุขภาพและสิ่งแวดล้อม ซึ่งอาจกลายเป็นการเปลี่ยนเด็กๆ ให้คุ้นชินกับเครื่องดื่มหวานแบบไม่รู้ตัว ในขณะที่เราเคยพยายามลดโค้กจากโรงเรียนไปเมื่อสิบปีก่อน
อย่าลืมว่า ไม่ใช่แค่น้ำตาลที่ต้องดู แต่ต้องดูว่ามันมาจากไหน ถูกสร้างขึ้นอย่างไร และร่างกายตอบสนองอย่างไร
สำคัญที่สุดคือ เรามีสิทธิ์ในการเลือกไหม ในอนาคต

2025-04-22 23:35:05For Secure Inheritance Planning and Offline Signing
The setup described ensures that any 2 out of 3 participants (hardware wallets) must sign a transaction before it can be broadcast, offering robust protection against theft, accidental loss, or mismanagement of funds.
1. Preparation: Tools and Requirements
Hardware Required
- 3× COLDCARD Mk4 hardware wallets (or newer)
- 3× MicroSD cards (one per COLDCARD)
- MicroSD card reader (for your computer)
- Optional: USB data blocker (for safe COLDCARD connection)
Software Required
- Sparrow Wallet: Version 1.7.1 or later
Download: https://sparrowwallet.com/ - COLDCARD Firmware: Version 5.1.2 or later
Update guide: https://coldcard.com/docs/upgrade
Other Essentials
- Durable paper or steel backup tools for seed phrases
- Secure physical storage for backups and devices
- Optional: encrypted external storage for Sparrow wallet backups
Security Tip:
Always verify software signatures before installation. Keep your COLDCARDs air-gapped (no USB data transfer) whenever possible.
2. Initializing Each COLDCARD Wallet
- Power on each COLDCARD and choose “New Wallet”.
- Write down the 24-word seed phrase (DO NOT photograph or store digitally).
- Confirm the seed and choose a strong PIN code (both prefix and suffix).
- (Optional) Enable BIP39 Passphrase for additional entropy.
- Save an encrypted backup to the MicroSD card:
Go to Advanced > Danger Zone > Backup. - Repeat steps 1–5 for all three COLDCARDs.
Best Practice:
Store each seed phrase securely and in separate physical locations. Test wallet recovery before storing real funds.
3. Exporting XPUBs from COLDCARD
Each hardware wallet must export its extended public key (XPUB) for multisig setup:
- Insert MicroSD card into a COLDCARD.
- Navigate to:
Settings > Multisig Wallets > Export XPUB. - Select the appropriate derivation path. Recommended:
- Native SegWit:
m/84'/0'/0'
(bc1 addresses) - Alternatively: Nested SegWit
m/49'/0'/0'
(starts with 3) - Save the XPUB file to the MicroSD card.
- Insert MicroSD into your computer and transfer XPUB files to Sparrow Wallet.
- Repeat for the remaining COLDCARDs.
4. Creating the 2-of-3 Multisig Wallet in Sparrow
- Launch Sparrow Wallet.
- Click File > New Wallet and name your wallet.
- In the Keystore tab, choose Multisig.
- Select 2-of-3 as your multisig policy.
- For each cosigner:
- Choose Add cosigner > Import XPUB from file.
- Load XPUBs exported from each COLDCARD.
- Once all 3 cosigners are added, confirm the configuration.
- Click Apply, then Create Wallet.
- Sparrow will display a receive address. Fund the wallet using this.
Tip:
You can export the multisig policy (wallet descriptor) as a backup and share it among cosigners.
5. Saving and Verifying the Wallet Configuration
- After creating the wallet, click Wallet > Export > Export Wallet File (.json).
- Save this file securely and distribute to all participants.
- Verify that the addresses match on each COLDCARD using the wallet descriptor file (optional but recommended).
6. Creating and Exporting a PSBT (Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction)
- In Sparrow, click Send, fill out recipient details, and click Create Transaction.
- Click Finalize > Save PSBT to MicroSD card.
- The file will be saved as a
.psbt
file.
Note: No funds are moved until 2 signatures are added and the transaction is broadcast.
7. Signing the PSBT with COLDCARD (Offline)
- Insert the MicroSD with the PSBT into COLDCARD.
- From the main menu:
Ready To Sign > Select PSBT File. - Verify transaction details and approve.
- COLDCARD will create a signed version of the PSBT (
signed.psbt
). - Repeat the signing process with a second COLDCARD (different signer).
8. Finalizing and Broadcasting the Transaction
- Load the signed PSBT files back into Sparrow.
- Sparrow will detect two valid signatures.
- Click Finalize Transaction > Broadcast.
- Your Bitcoin transaction will be sent to the network.
9. Inheritance Planning with Multisig
Multisig is ideal for inheritance scenarios:
Example Inheritance Setup
- Signer 1: Yourself (active user)
- Signer 2: Trusted family member or executor
- Signer 3: Lawyer, notary, or secure backup
Only 2 signatures are needed. If one party loses access or passes away, the other two can recover the funds.
Best Practices for Inheritance
- Store each seed phrase in separate, tamper-proof, waterproof containers.
- Record clear instructions for heirs (without compromising seed security).
- Periodically test recovery with cosigners.
- Consider time-locked wallets or third-party escrow if needed.
Security Tips and Warnings
- Never store seed phrases digitally or online.
- Always verify addresses and signatures on the COLDCARD screen.
- Use Sparrow only on secure, malware-free computers.
- Physically secure your COLDCARDs from unauthorized access.
- Practice recovery procedures before storing real value.
Consider
A 2-of-3 multisignature wallet using COLDCARD and Sparrow Wallet offers a highly secure, flexible, and transparent Bitcoin custody model. Whether for inheritance planning or high-security storage, it mitigates risks associated with single points of failure while maintaining usability and privacy.
By following this guide, Bitcoin users can significantly increase the resilience of their holdings while enabling thoughtful succession strategies.

2025-04-22 22:48:30What is pfSense?
pfSense is a free, open-source firewall and router software distribution based on FreeBSD. It includes a web-based GUI and supports advanced features like:
- Stateful packet inspection (SPI)
- Virtual Private Network (VPN) support (OpenVPN, WireGuard, IPSec)
- Dynamic and static routing
- Traffic shaping and QoS
- Load balancing and failover
- VLANs and captive portals
- Intrusion Detection/Prevention (Snort, Suricata)
- DNS, DHCP, and more
Use Cases
- Home networks with multiple devices
- Small to medium businesses
- Remote work VPN gateway
- IoT segmentation
- Homelab firewalls
- Wi-Fi network segmentation
2. Essential Hardware Components
When building a pfSense router, you must match your hardware to your use case. The system needs at least two network interfaces—one for WAN, one for LAN.

2025-04-22 21:32:40The Domain Name System (DNS) is a foundational component of the internet. It translates human-readable domain names into IP addresses, enabling the functionality of websites, email, and services. However, traditional DNS is inherently insecure—queries are typically sent in plaintext, making them vulnerable to interception, spoofing, and censorship.
DNSCrypt is a protocol designed to authenticate communications between a DNS client and a DNS resolver. By encrypting DNS traffic and validating the source of responses, it thwarts man-in-the-middle attacks and DNS poisoning. Despite its security advantages, widespread adoption remains limited due to usability and deployment complexity.
This idea introduces an affordable, lightweight DNSCrypt proxy server capable of providing secure DNS resolution in both home and enterprise environments. Our goal is to democratize secure DNS through low-cost infrastructure and transparent architecture.
2. Background
2.1 Traditional DNS Vulnerabilities
- Lack of Encryption: DNS queries are typically unencrypted (UDP port 53), exposing user activity.
- Spoofing and Cache Poisoning: Attackers can forge DNS responses to redirect users to malicious websites.
- Censorship: Governments and ISPs can block or alter DNS responses to control access.
2.2 Introduction to DNSCrypt
DNSCrypt mitigates these problems by: - Encrypting DNS queries using X25519 + XSalsa20-Poly1305 or X25519 + ChaCha20-Poly1305 - Authenticating resolvers via public key infrastructure (PKI) - Supporting relay servers and anonymized DNS, enhancing metadata protection
2.3 Current Landscape
DNSCrypt proxies are available in commercial routers and services (e.g., Cloudflare DNS over HTTPS), but full control remains in the hands of centralized entities. Additionally, hardware requirements and setup complexity can be barriers to entry.
3. System Architecture
3.1 Overview
Our system is designed around the following components: - Client Devices: Use DNSCrypt-enabled stub resolvers (e.g., dnscrypt-proxy) - DNSCrypt Proxy Server: Accepts DNSCrypt queries, decrypts and validates them, then forwards to recursive resolvers (e.g., Unbound) - Recursive Resolver (Optional): Provides DNS resolution without reliance on upstream services - Relay Support: Adds anonymization via DNSCrypt relays
3.2 Protocols and Technologies
- DNSCrypt v2: Core encrypted DNS protocol
- X25519 Key Exchange: Lightweight elliptic curve cryptography
- Poly1305 AEAD Encryption: Fast and secure authenticated encryption
- UDP/TCP Fallback: Supports both transport protocols to bypass filtering
- DoH Fallback: Optional integration with DNS over HTTPS
3.3 Hardware Configuration
- Platform: Raspberry Pi 4B or x86 mini-PC (e.g., Lenovo M710q)
- Cost: Under $75 total (device + SD card or SSD)
- Operating System: Debian 12 or Ubuntu Server 24.04
- Memory Footprint: <100MB RAM idle
- Power Consumption: ~3-5W idle
4. Design Considerations
4.1 Affordability
- Hardware Sourcing: Use refurbished or SBCs to cut costs
- Software Stack: Entirely open source (dnscrypt-proxy, Unbound)
- No Licensing Fees: FOSS-friendly deployment for communities
4.2 Security
- Ephemeral Key Pairs: New keypairs every session prevent replay attacks
- Public Key Verification: Resolver keys are pre-published and verified
- No Logging: DNSCrypt proxies are configured to avoid retaining user metadata
- Anonymization Support: With relay chaining for metadata privacy
4.3 Maintainability
- Containerization (Optional): Docker-compatible setup for simple updates
- Remote Management: Secure shell access with fail2ban and SSH keys
- Auto-Updating Scripts: Systemd timers to refresh certificates and relay lists
5. Implementation
5.1 Installation Steps
- Install OS and dependencies:
bash sudo apt update && sudo apt install dnscrypt-proxy unbound
- Configure
dnscrypt-proxy.toml
: - Define listening port, relay list, and trusted resolvers
- Enable Anonymized DNS, fallback to DoH
- Configure Unbound (optional):
- Run as recursive backend
- Firewall hardening:
- Allow only DNSCrypt port (default: 443 or 5353)
- Block all inbound traffic except SSH (optional via Tailscale)
5.2 Challenges
- Relay Performance Variability: Some relays introduce latency; solution: geo-filtering
- Certificate Refresh: Mitigated with daily cron jobs
- IP Rate-Limiting: Mitigated with DNS load balancing
6. Evaluation
6.1 Performance Benchmarks
- Query Resolution Time (mean):
- Local resolver: 12–18ms
- Upstream via DoH: 25–35ms
- Concurrent Users Supported: 100+ without degradation
- Memory Usage: ~60MB (dnscrypt-proxy + Unbound)
- CPU Load: <5% idle on ARM Cortex-A72
6.2 Security Audits
- Verified with dnsleaktest.com and
tcpdump
- No plaintext DNS observed over interface
- Verified resolver keys via DNSCrypt community registry
7. Use Cases
7.1 Personal/Home Use
- Secure DNS for all home devices via router or Pi-hole integration
7.2 Educational Institutions
- Provide students with censorship-free DNS in oppressive environments
7.3 Community Mesh Networks
- Integrate DNSCrypt into decentralized networks (e.g., Nostr over Mesh)
7.4 Business VPNs
- Secure internal DNS without relying on third-party resolvers
8. Consider
This idea has presented a practical, affordable approach to deploying a secure DNSCrypt proxy server. By leveraging open-source tools, minimalist hardware, and careful design choices, it is possible to democratize access to encrypted DNS. Our implementation meets the growing need for privacy-preserving infrastructure without introducing prohibitive costs.
We demonstrated that even modest devices can sustain dozens of encrypted DNS sessions concurrently while maintaining low latency. Beyond privacy, this system empowers individuals and communities to control their own DNS without corporate intermediaries.
9. Future Work
- Relay Discovery Automation: Dynamic quality-of-service scoring for relays
- Web GUI for Management: Simplified frontend for non-technical users
- IPv6 and Tor Integration: Expanding availability and censorship resistance
- Federated Resolver Registry: Trust-minimized alternative to current resolver key lists

2025-04-22 21:09:52The trade war between Trump and the rest of the world has kicked of in earnest with Trump's unveiling of sweeping tariffs on so called "Liberation Day". The entire world was essentially put on notice that there is a new sheriff in town and things will be done different from now on.
The is the sentiment that won Trump the election so it is no wonder that Trump would follow through on changing how the world relates to America. President Trump hit the entire world with reciprocal tariffs and some places where people don't live which I find hilarious
I wonder who was in charge of making this tariff list because they need fired to be honest. Screams incompetence but that for another day. Will Bitcoin benefit from the trade war?
Bitcoin will benefit because the world now believes that the United States can not be trusted to honor its word or commitments. Why would any country want to to business with a country that says one thing and does another. Trump has upended the very economic order that the US created in the first place! Is this a smart idea? Only time will tell to be honest.
The worst thing Trump did was created doubt and uncertainty for the bond market. The bond market is the main engine of economic power for the US government. Having the world buy your bonds gives the United States unparalleled economic power to flex all around the world. The US might have military bases all over the world and uses it to conduct foreign policy but its the economic power of the US that gives it the influence that it has right now.
All that comes into question now. When you shit on your friends and buddy up with your adversaries it not a good look and allies will respond accordingly. Why piss off Canada and Mexico? What policy objective is that accomplishing? Picking fights with Europe? Not smart politics. I get wanting allies to pick up the slack on their end or have better trade relations but there is the right way to do it and a wrong way to do it. Trump undoubtedly goes about it the wrong way.
Has he not heard the saying 'You catch more flies with honey than vinegar?" When you are cordial with people and they like you its a lot easier to get people to do things for you or see things from you perspective versus talking shit and bullying them into submission.
Most countries are not going to tolerate this type of political brinkmanship and will decide that they need to take their money elsewhere. You can expect for them to withdraw their money from the stock market and the bond market over the next 12-24 months. Guess what happens after that? Bond yields go through the roof and the stock market takes a shit! You can kiss your 401k goodbye! You'd have to be suicidal to have your money in the stock market right now.
In this scenario which is mostly likely to occur, Bitcoin goes to the moon because governments are going to be looking for a neutral reserve asset that can't be manipulated like US bonds. Bitcoin is the perfect solution to their problem. Once one major government or central bank puts Bitcoin on the balance sheet its game over for the dollar and the bonds. We might be closer to the end game than we think, and that is scary to think about. "Sometimes there are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen." ~ Lenin
Crazy to quote a communist but he isn't wrong about history. We are living through a life alter paradigm shift. It is scary and exhilarating all at the same time. What a time to be alive ladies and gentlemen! Buckle up! Its going to get interesting!

2025-04-22 18:56:38"It might make sense just to get some in case it catches on. If enough people think the same way, that becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Once it gets bootstrapped, there are so many applications if you could effortlessly pay a few cents to a website as easily as dropping coins in a vending machine." --Satoshi Nakamoto The Cryptography Mailing List--January 17, 2009
Forgot to add the good part about micropayments. While I don't think Bitcoin is practical for smaller micropayments right now, it will eventually be as storage and bandwidth costs continue to fall. If Bitcoin catches on on a big scale, it may already be the case by that time. Another way they can become more practical is if I implement client-only mode and the number of network nodes consolidates into a smaller number of professional server farms. Whatever size micropayments you need will eventually be practical. I think in 5 or 10 years, the bandwidth and storage will seem trivial. --Satoshi Nakamoto Bitcoin Talk-- August 5, 2010
I very be coded some HTML buttons using Claude and uploaded it to https://github.com/GhostZaps/ It's just a button that links to zapper.fun.
I signed up for Substack to build an email address, but learned adding different payment options to Substack is against their terms and services. Since I write about nostr, these terms seem as silly as someone saying Craig Wright is Satoshi. It's easy to build an audience on Substack however, or so I thought. Why is it easier to build an audience on Subtack though? Because Substack is a platform that markets to writers. Anyone with a ~~pen~~ ~~keyboard~~ smartphone and an email can create an account with Substack. There's just one problem: You are an Internet serf, working the land for your Internet landlord--The Duke of Substack.
Then I saw that Shawn posted about Substack's UX.
I should have grabbed my reading glasses before pushing the post button, but it occurred to me that I could use Ghost to do this and there is probably a way to hack it to accept bitcoin payments over the lightning network and host it yourself. So I spun my noddle, doodled some plans...And then it hit me. Ghost allows for markdown and HTML. I learned HTML and CSS with free-code camp, but ain't nobody got time to type CSS so I vibe-coded a button that ~~baits~~ sends the clicker to my zapper.fun page. This can be used on any blog that allows you to paste html into it so I added it to my Ghost blog self-hosted on a Start 9. The blog is on TOR at http://p66dxywd2xpyyrdfxwilqcxmchmfw2ixmn2vm74q3atf22du7qmkihyd.onion/, but most people around me have been conditioned to fear the dark web so I used the cloudflared to host my newsletter on the clear net at https://marc26z.com/
Integrating Nostr Into My Self-Hosted Ghost Newsletter
I would venture to say I am more technical than the average person and I know HTML, but my CSS is fuzzy. I also know how to print("Hello world!") in python, but I an NPC beyond the basics. Nevertheless, I found that I know enough to make a button. I can't code well enough to create my own nostr long-form client and create plugins for ghost that send lightning payments to lighting channel, but I know enough about nostr to know that I don't need to. That's why nostr is so F@#%-ing cool! It's all connected. ** - One button takes you to zapper.fun where you can zap anywhere between 1 and ,000,000 sats.** - Another button sends you to a zap planner pre-set to send 5,000 sats to the author per month using nostr. - Yet another button sends you to a zap planner preset to send 2,500 sats per month.
The possibilities are endless. I entered a link that takes the clicker to my Shopstr Merch Store. The point is to write as self-sovereign as possible. I might need to change my lightning address when stuff breaks every now and then, but I like the idea of busking for sats by writing on the Internet using the Value 4 Value model. I dislike ads, but I also want people to buy stuff from people I do business with because I want to promote using bitcoin as peer-to-peer electronic cash, not NGU porn. I'm not prude. I enjoy looking at the price displayed on my BlockClock micro every now and then, but I am not an NGU porn addict.
This line made this pattern, that line made this pattern. All that Bolinger Bart Simpson bullshit has nothing to with bitcoin, a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. It is the musings of a population trapped in the fiat mind-set. Bitcoin is permissionless so I realized I was bieng a hipocryte by using a permissioned payment system becaue it was easier than writing a little vibe code. I don't need permission to write for sats. I don't need to give my bank account number to Substack. I don't need to pay a 10$ vig to publish on a a platform which is not designed for stacking sats. I can write on Ghost and integrate clients that already exist in the multi-nostr-verse.
Nostr Payment Buttons
The buttons can be fouund at https://github.com/Marc26z/GhostZapButton
You can use them yourself. Just replace my npub with your npub or add any other link you want. It doesn't technically need to be a nostr link. It can be anything. I have a link to another Ghost article with other buttons that lead down different sat pledging amounts. It's early. Everyone who spends bitcoin is on nostr and nostr is small, but growing community. I want to be part of this community. I want to find other writers on nostr and stay away from Substack.
Here's what it looks like on Ghost: https://marc26z.com/zaps-on-ghost/

2025-04-22 18:15:42Proof Of Concept
In a world where decentralization often hinges on the strength of its weakest node, the idea of federation—applied not to content moderation or identity, but strictly to communication protocols—opens up intriguing possibilities. In this model, Nostr relays do not operate in total isolation, nor do they function in a single cohesive mesh. Instead, they form selective, encrypted alliances, communicating through secure tunnels while preserving autonomy.
💡 The Core Idea
Relays remain sovereign, but may establish peer-to-peer encrypted channels with other trusted relays using Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) to generate shared secrets. These secrets are then used to encrypt communication tunnels—facilitating a federated communication layer.
Each relay is free to choose: - Whom it speaks to - How often - What types of events are relayed through the tunnel
But never must it rely on a central coordinator.
🔁 Schnorr for Authentication
While ECDH can create the secure tunnel, Schnorr signatures (already a part of Nostr’s pubkey-based design) can be used to authenticate the origin of the data inside. This keeps the integrity of messages intact even when traveling over shared or hostile networks.
Use case: - Relay A and Relay B establish an ECDH-based shared key. - All communication is tunnel-encrypted with this shared key. - Inside the tunnel, every message still carries a Schnorr signature, proving its source.
This separation of transport-level encryption from message-level authenticity provides an elegant layering of security.
🌐 Practical Benefits
- Obfuscation: Encrypted tunnels reduce visibility into relay-to-relay traffic patterns.
- Privacy: Federation over encrypted channels shields metadata and protects against surveillance.
- Resilience: Relays can route around censorship by tunneling through less obvious peers.
- Synergy: Specific relay clusters can form ephemeral or long-term alliances—say, art relays or academic relays—without disclosing their full graph to the world.
🧩 Optional Enhancements
- Noise Protocol Framework to standardize encrypted relay tunnels.
- Tor Hidden Services or I2P for transport obfuscation.
- Relay Reputation Systems to gauge trust before federation.
- Dynamic Federation Negotiation: using NIP-like proposals over encrypted handshakes to initiate or terminate communication agreements.
🌱 Case In Point
This is not about governing content, users, or identities—this is about strengthening how relays talk. By embracing federated communication via ECDH and Schnorr-secured tunnels, Nostr relays could evolve into a resilient underground of trust-minimized, pseudonymous routers that defy surveillance while amplifying decentralization.
federated communication via ECDH and Schnorr-authenticated encrypted tunnels between Nostr relays:
markdown NIP-xyz: Federated Encrypted Relay Communication Status: Draft Type: Relay Created: 2025-04-22
Summary
This NIP proposes a method for encrypted, authenticated communication between Nostr relays using ECDH-based tunnels for transport encryption and Schnorr signatures for payload integrity. This federation model allows relays to communicate securely while maintaining full autonomy, enhancing privacy, censorship resistance, and interoperability.
Motivation
Nostr’s decentralized architecture relies heavily on relays, which currently operate in isolated or broadcast modes. There is no standard for secure, peer-to-peer communication between relays themselves, outside of client interactions.
Introducing encrypted tunnels between relays offers:
- Privacy: Reduces metadata leakage across public or adversarial networks.
- Resilience: Allows relays to forward events and metadata through trusted peers when direct access is blocked or filtered.
- Autonomy: Federation is opt-in and purely communicational—no centralized authority or directory is involved.
- Extensibility: Enables experimental protocols or content-specific subnets without altering the global Nostr model.
Specification
1. Key Exchange via ECDH
Each relay maintains: - A persistent relay keypair:
relay_pubkey
,relay_privkey
- Optionally: rotating session keys for forward secrecyWhen two relays (A and B) wish to establish communication: - They exchange their public keys (
relay_pubkey_A
andrelay_pubkey_B
) - Both calculate a shared secret using ECDH oversecp256k1
:plaintext shared_secret = SHA256(ECDH(relay_privkey_A, relay_pubkey_B))
This
shared_secret
is used to derive an encryption key for an authenticated symmetric cipher, such as AES-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305.
2. Encrypted Tunnel Establishment
Once the shared secret is derived: - All messages between relays are sent through an encrypted tunnel - Transport can be TCP, WebSocket, or HTTP/3 over QUIC, optionally via Tor or I2P
A RelayHello message is exchanged encrypted, optionally containing:
json { "type": "relay_hello", "relay_name": "nostr.relay.example", "features": ["forwarding", "dedup", "metadata"], "timestamp": 1684000000, "sig": "<Schnorr-signed payload>" }
The
sig
is a Schnorr signature from therelay_pubkey
, verifying the message content.
3. Event Forwarding
Relays may forward selected event types across tunnels, such as: - Kind 1 (Text Note) - Kind 3 (Contacts) - Kind 5 (Deletion Notices) - Custom kinds (with mutual agreement)
All forwarded events MUST retain original client-level signatures. Relay-to-relay metadata (like timestamps, relay hints, or scores) may be added in a separate metadata envelope.
4. Access Control and Policies
Each relay maintains a federation list, including: - Public key of the peer relay - Features enabled - Rate limits and quotas - Last active session or rotation timestamp
Relays MAY: - Deny tunnel requests - Rotate keys periodically - Restrict communication to a whitelist - Use Proof-of-Work or tokens for DoS protection
5. Optional Features
- Forward Secrecy: ephemeral key pairs with HKDF for short sessions
- Relay Reputation: signed relay trust scores (future NIP)
- Message Compression: gzip or zstd on tunnel payloads
- Encrypted Gossip: tunnel-specific metadata routing
Compatibility
This NIP is backward-compatible. Relays that do not implement it will simply not participate in tunnel-based communication.
No changes are required from Nostr clients.
Reference Implementation (Proposed)
nostr-tunnel-relay
: Rust-based relay that supports federated encrypted tunnelsnostr-relay-link
: CLI tool to establish and monitor tunnels- Example configs for federation policies in JSON or TOML
Rationale
- ECDH ensures only the two relays involved can decrypt tunnel data
- Schnorr signatures authenticate content without duplicating identity schemes
- Federation is scoped only to communication, preserving Nostr’s core simplicity
Security Considerations
- Relay pubkeys must be carefully verified to prevent MITM
- Session expiration and key rotation should be configurable
- Replay protection and nonce management are required for AEAD ciphers
- Metadata leakage minimized by default obfuscation or Tor-based transport

2025-04-22 17:26:44A monthly newsletter by The 256 Foundation
April 2025
Introduction:
Welcome to the fourth newsletter produced by The 256 Foundation! March was an action-packed month with events ranging from the announcement of TSMC investing in US fabs to four solo block finds. Dive in to catch up on the latest news, mining industry developments, progress updates on grant projects, Actionable Advice on updating a Futurebit Apollo I to the latest firmware, and the current state of the Bitcoin network.

News:
March 3, Ashigaru releases v1.1.1. Notable because this fork of Samourai Wallet serves as the remaining choice of mobile Bitcoin wallet capable of making peer to peer collaborative transactions. Not the Whirlpool transactions that Samourai Wallet was well-known for but the Stowaway and StonewallX2 p2p CoinJoin transactions. The persistence of Samourai’s tools still working despite the full force of the State coming down on the developers is a testament to the power of open-source code.
March 3, Stronghold completes cleanup of decommissioned coal plant using Bitcoin miners. Stronghold’s initiative counters the narrative that Bitcoin mining is wasteful by removing 150,000 tons of coal waste, part of a broader effort that cleared 240,000 tons in Q2 2024 alone. Waste coal piles in Pennsylvania, like the one in Russellton, have scarred landscapes, making this reclamation a significant step for local ecosystems. The project aligns with growing efforts in the region, as The Nature Conservancy also leads restoration projects in Pennsylvania to revive forests and waters. Stronghold’s dual-use model—powering Bitcoin miners and supplying the grid—shows how Bitcoin mining can support environmental goals while remaining economically viable.
March 3, five TSMC semiconductor fabs coming to Arizona. TSMC’s $100 billion investment in Arizona reflects a strategic push to bolster U.S. semiconductor production amid global supply chain vulnerabilities and geopolitical tensions, particularly with West Taiwan’s claims over Taiwan. TSMC’s existing $65 billion investment in Phoenix, now totaling $165 billion, aims to create 40,000 construction jobs and tens of thousands of high-tech roles over the next decade. This could relieve bottlenecks in ASIC chip supply if Bitcoin mining chip designers can get access to the limited foundry space. If that is the case, this could help alleviate some centralization concerns as it relates to a majority of Bitcoin mining chips coming from Taiwan and West Taiwan.
March 10, Block #887212 solved by a Bitaxe Ultra with ~491Gh/s. Not only did the Bitaxe satisfy the network difficulty, which was 112.15T, but obliterated it with a whopping 719.9T difficulty. This Block marked the second one solved by a Bitaxe and an increasing number of solo block finds overall as more individuals choose to play the Bitcoin lottery with their hashrate.
March 12, Pirate Bay co-founder, Carl Lundström, killed in plane crash. The Pirate Bay, launched in 2003, revolutionized online file-sharing by popularizing BitTorrent technology, enabling millions to access music, movies, and software, often in defiance of legal systems, which led to Lundström’s 2009 conviction for copyright infringement. The timing of his death coincides with ongoing global debates over digital ownership and intellectual property, often echoing many of the same themes in open-source technology, underscoring the enduring impact of The Pirate Bay’s challenge to traditional media distribution models.
March 18, Samourai Wallet status conference update. This was a short meeting in which the dates for the remaining pre-trial hearings was discussed.
- May 9, Opening Motion. - June 6, prosecution response to the opening motion. - June 20, defense replies to the prosecution response. - July 15, prosecution provides expert disclosure - August 8, defense provides expert disclosure - Tdev is able to remain home during the remaining pre-trial hearings so that he doesn’t have to incur the expenses traveling back and forth between Europe and the US
Despite seemingly positive shifts in crypto-related policies from the Trump administration, all signs point to the prosecution still moving full steam ahead in this case. The defense teams need to be prepared and they could use all the financial help they can get. If you feel compelled to support the legal defense fund, please do so here. If the DOJ wins this case, all Bitcoiners lose.
March 18, DEMAND POOL launches, transitioning out of stealth mode and making room for applicants to join the private waiting list to be one of the Founding Miners.
Key features of DEMAND Pool include: • Build your own blocks • SLICE payment system & new mempool algorithm • No more empty blocks • End-to-end encryption for protection • Efficient data transfer, less wasted hashrate • Lower costs on CPU, bandwidth, & time
DEMAND Pool implements Stratum v2 so that miners can generate their own block templates, entering the arena of pools trying to decentralize mining such as OCEAN with their alternative to Stratum v2 called DATUM. A benefit of the Stratum v2 protocol over Stratum v1 is that data sent between the miner and the pool is now encrypted whereas before it was sent in clear-text, the encryption helps with network level privacy so that for example, your Internet Service Provider cannot read what is in the data being passed back and forth. Although, unless there is a proxy between your miner and the pool then the ISP may be able to determine that you are sending data to a mining pool, they just wouldn’t be able to tell what’s in that data. Overall, decentralization has become a buzz word lately and while it is a step in the right direction that more pools are enabling miners to decide which transactions are included in the block templates they work on, the pools remain a centralized force that ultimately can reject templates based on a number of reasons.
March 20, Bitaxe makes the cover of Bitcoin Magazine’s The Mining Issue, solidifying the Bitaxe as a pop-culture icon. Even those who disregard the significance of the Bitaxe project must recognize that the project’s popularity is an indication that something big is developing here.
[IMG-002] Bitcoin Magazine, The Mining Issue
March 21, self-hosted solo miner solves block #888737 with a Futurebit Apollo, making this the third solo block find for Futurebit. The first Futurebit Apollo block find may have been a fluke, the second a coincidence, but the third is an indication of a pattern forming here. More hashrate is being controlled by individuals who are constructing their own blocks and this trend will accelerate as time goes on and deploying these devices becomes easier and less expensive. This was the second solo block found in March.
March 21, US Treasury Department lifts sanctions on Tornado Cash. This is a positive sign coming from the US Treasury, however the charges against the Tornado Cash developer, Roman Storm, still stand and his legal defense team is still fighting an uphill battle. Even though the US Treasury removed Tornado Cash from the OFAC list, the department is attempting to stop a Texas court from granting a motion that would ensure the Treasury can’t put Tornado Cash back on the OFAC list. Meanwhile, the other Tornado Cash developer, Alex Pertsev, is fighting his appeal battle in the Dutch courts.
March 22, Self-hosted Public Pool user mines Block #888989. This was the first block mined with the Public Pool software, which is open-source and available for anyone to host themselves, in this case hosted on the user’s Umbrel. If you read the January issue of The 256 Foundation newsletter, there are detailed instructions for hosting your own instance of Public Pool on a Raspberry Pi. Easier solutions exist and accomplish the same thing such as Umbrel and Start9. This was the third solo block mined in March.
March 26, DeFi Education Fund publishes coalition letter urging congress to correct the DOJ’s dangerous misinterpretation of money transmission laws. In their own words: “First seen in Aug 2023 via the criminal indictment of @rstormsf, the DOJ’s novel legal theory expands criminal liability to software developers, ignoring longstanding FinCEN guidance and threatening the entire U.S. blockchain & digital asset ecosystem”. Many familiar organizations in the industry signed the letter, such as Coinbase, Kraken, A16z Crypto, and Ledger. Sadly, no Bitcoin companies signed the letter, highlighting the reckless ignorance prevalent among the “toxic Bitcoin maximalists” who often pride themselves on their narrow focus; a focus which is proving to be more of a blind spot limiting their ability to recognize a clear and present threat. The full letter text can be found here.
March 28, Heatbit reveals the black Heatbit, an elegant space heater that mines Bitcoin. Heat re-use applications such as Bitcoin mining space heaters are one of many examples where energy spent on generating heat can also earn the user sats. Other popular solutions include heating hot tubs, hotels, drive ways, and more. The innovations in this area will continue to be unlocked as open-source solutions like the ones being developed at The 256 Foundation are released and innovators gain more control over their applications.
March 29, miner with 2.5Ph/s solves Block #889975 with Solo CK Pool, marking the fourth solo block found in the month of March. This was the first solo block found on CK Pool’s European server. This was a good way to finish the month on a strong note for small-scale miners.
Free & Open Mining Industry Developments:
The development will not stop until Bitcoin mining is free and open. Innovators didn’t let off the gas in March, here are eleven note-worthy events:
0) @BTC_Grid demonstrates heating a new residential build with Bitcoin miners. This custom build features 6,000 square feet of radiant floors, 1,500 sqft of snow melting slab, 2 heated pools, all powered by Bitcoin miners and fully automated. Innovations and efficient systems like this will become more common as Bitcoin mining hardware and firmware solutions become open-source
1) @DrydeGab shares The Ocho, a Bitaxe Nerd Octaxe open-source Bitcoin miner featuring 8x BM1370 ASICs that performs at 9-10Th/s consuming ~180W. The Ocho runs on it’s own custom AxeOS. Currently out of stock but generally available for purchase in the IX Tech store.
[IMG-003] The Nerd OCTAXE Ocho by @DrydeGab
2) @incognitojohn23 demonstrates building a Bitaxe from scratch with no prior experience, proving that anyone can access this technology with a little determination and the right community. @incognitojohn23 has also uploaded several videos documenting his progress and lessons along the way. Every builder has their first day, don’t hold back if you feel compelled to jump in and get started.
3) @HodlRev demonstrating how he combines Bitcoin mining with maple syrup production. In fact, @HodlRev has integrated Bitcoin mining into several aspects of his homestead. Be sure to follow his content for an endless stream of resourceful ideas. Once open-source Bitcoin mining firmware and hardware solutions become widely available, innovators like @HodlRev will have more control over every parameter of these unique applications.
4) ATL Bitlab announces their first hackathon, running June 7 through July 6. Promoted as “A global hackathon focused on all things bitcoin mining”. If you are interested in joining the hackathon, there is a Google form you can fill out here. It will be interesting to see what innovations come from this effort.
5) @100AcresRanch builds touchscreen dashboard for Bitaxe and Loki Boards. With this, you can control up to 10 mining devices with the ability to instantly switch any of the presets without going into the mining device UI.
[IMG-004] Decentral Command Dashboard by @100AcresRanch
6) @IxTechCrypto reveals HAXE, the newest member of the Nerdaxe miner family. HAXE is a 6 ASIC miner performing at ~7.4 Th/s at ~118W. Upon looking at the IX Tech store, it seems as though the HAXE has not hit shelves yet but keep an eye out for announcements soon.
7) Solo Satoshi reveals the NerdQaxe++, the latest marvel in the world of open-source Bitcoin mining solutions. This device is equipped with four ASIC chips from the Antminer S21 Pro and boasts an efficiency rating of 15.8 J/Th. At the advertised power consumption of 76 Watts, that would produce nearly 5 Th/s. Currently out of stock at the Solo Satoshi store and the IX Tech store but in stock and available at the PlebSource store.
8) @TheSoloMiningCo shares a bolt-on voltage regulator heatsink for the Bitaxe, this is a helpful modification when overclocking your miner and helps dissipate heat away from the voltage regulator. Many innovators are discovering ways to get every bit of efficiency they can from their hardware and sharing their ideas with the wider community for anyone to adopt.
9) @boerst adds historical data to stratum.work, a public website that monitors mining pool activity through calling for the work templates being generated for the pool’s respective miners. By parsing the information available in the work templates, a number of interesting observations can be made like which pools are merely proxies for larger pools, timing analysis of when templates are sent out, and now historical data on what the state of each pool’s templates were at a given block height. The work Boerst is doing with this website provides a great tool for gaining insights into mining centralization.
10) Braiins open-sources the BCB100 Control Board, designed to work with Antminers, this control board project has two parts: the hardware and the software. For the hardware part, open files include the Bill Of Materials, schematics, Gerbers, and CAD files. For the software part, open files include the board-level OpenWrt-based firmware with the full configuration file and the Nix environment for reproducible builds. The mining firmware binaries for bosminer and boser (same as the official Braiins OS releases) are also available to download and use to compile the image for the control board, however the Braiins OS firmware itself is not included in this open-source bundle. Braiins chose the GPLv3 open-source license for the software and the CERN-OHL-S open-source license for the hardware. This is a great gesture by Braiins and helps validate the efforts of The 256 Foundation to make Bitcoin mining free and open. The Braiins GitHub repositories where all this information can be found are accessible here and here. The 256 Foundation has plans to develop a Mujina firmware that can be flashed onto the BCB100 helping target Antminer machines.
Grant Project Updates:
In March, The 256 Foundation formalized agreements with the lead developers who were selected for each project. These agreements clearly defined the scope of each project, identified the deliverables, set a timeline, and agreement on compensation was made. Below are the outlines for each project, the compensation is not made public for privacy and security reasons.
Ember One:
@skot9000 instigator of the Bitaxe and all around legend for being the first mover in open-source Bitcoin mining solutions is the lead engineer for the Ember One project. This was the first fully funded grant from The 256 Foundation and commenced in November 2024 with a six month duration. The deliverable is a validated design for a ~100W miner with a standardized form factor (128mm x 128mm), USB-C data connection, 12-24v input voltage, with plans for several versions – each with a different ASIC chip. The First Ember One features the Bitmain BM1362 ASIC, next on the list will be an Ember One with the Intel BZM2 ASIC, then an Auradine ASIC version, and eventually a Block ASIC version. Learn more at: https://emberone.org/
Mujina Mining Firmware:

Libre Board:
@Schnitzel, heat re-use maximalist who turned his home's hot water accessories into Bitcoin-powered sats generators and during the day has built a successful business with a background in product management, is the lead engineer on the Libre Board project; the control board for the Ember One complete mining system. Start date is April 5, 2025 and the deliverables after six months will be a mining control board based on the Raspberry Pi Compute Module I/O Board with at least the following connections:
• USB hub integration (maybe 10 ports?) • Support for fan connections • NVME expansion • Two 100-pin connectors for the compute module • Ethernet port • HDMI port • Raspberrypi 40-pin header for sensors, switches, & relays etc. • MIPI port for touchscreen • Accepts 12-24 VDC input power voltage.
The initial release of Libre Board is being built in such a way that it supports long-term goals like alternative compute modules such as ARM, x86, and RISC-V. Learn more at: https://libreboard.org/
Hydra Pool:
@jungly, distributed systems PhD and the lead developer behind P2Pool v2 and formerly for Braidpool, now takes the reigns as lead developer for Hydra Pool, the stratum server package that will run on the Ember One mining system. Start date for this project was on April 5, 2025 and the duration lasts for six months. Deliverables include:
• Talks to bitcoind and provides stratum work to users and stores received shares • Scalable and robust database support to save received shares • Run share accounting on the stored shares • Implement payment mechanisms to pay out miners based on the share accounting • Provide two operation modes: Solo mining and PPLNS or Tides based payout mechanism, with payouts from coinbase only. (All other payout mechanism are out of scope of this initial release for now but there will be more). • Rolling upgrades: Tools and scripts to upgrade server with zero downtime. • Dashboard: Pool stats view only dashboard with support to filter miner payout addresses. • Documentation: Setup and other help pages, as required.
The initial release of Hydra Pool is being built in such a way that it supports long-term goals like alternative payout models such as echash, communicating with other Hydra Pool instances, local store of shares for Ember One, and a user-friendly interface that puts controls at the user's fingertips, and supports the ability for upstream pool proxying.

Block Watcher:
Initially scoped to be a Bitcoin mining insights application built to run on the Ember One mining system using the self-hosted node for blockchain data. However, The 256 Foundation has decided to pause Block Watcher development for a number of reasons. Primarily because the other four projects were more central to the foundation’s mission and given the early stages of the Foundation with the current support level, it made more sense to deploy capital where it counts most.
Actionable Advice:
This month’s Actionable Advice column explains the process for upgrading the Futurebit Apollo I OS to the newer Apollo II OS and replacing the SSD. The Futurebit Apollo is a small mining device with an integrated Bitcoin node designed as a plug-and-play solution for people interested in mining Bitcoin without all the noise and heat of the larger industrial-grade miners. The Apollo I can hash between 2 – 4 Th/s and will consume roughly 125 – 200 Watts. The Apollo II can hash between 8 – 10 Th/s and will consume roughly 280 – 400 Watts. The motivation behind upgrading from the Apollo I OS to the Apollo II OS is the ability to run a stratum server internally so that the mining part of the device can ask the node part of the device for mining work, thus enabling users to solo mine in a self-hosted fashion. In fact, this is exactly what The 256 Foundation did during the Telehash fundraising event where Block #881423 was solo mined, at one point there was more than 1 Eh/s of hashrate pointed to that Apollo.
[IMG-005] Futurebit Apollo I with new NVME SSD
You can find the complete flashing instructions on the Futurebit website here. You will need a separate computer to complete the flashing procedure. The flashing procedure will erase all data on the microSD card so back it up if you have anything valuable saved on there.
First navigate to the Futurebit GitHub Releases page at: https://github.com/jstefanop/apolloapi-v2/releases
Once there, you will see two OS images available for download, along with two links to alternative hosting options for those two images. If you are upgrading an Apollo I, you need to figure out which new OS image is right for your device, the MCU 1 image or the MCU 2 image. There are detailed instructions on figuring this out available here. There are multiple ways to determine if you need the MCU 1 or MCU 2 image. If the second to last digit in your Futurebit Apollo I is between 4 – 8 then you have an MCU 1; or if your batch number is 1 – 3 then you have an MCU 1; or if the circuit board has a 40-pin connector running perpendicular to the microSD card slot then you have an MCU 1. Otherwise, you have an MCU 2.
For example, this is what the MCU 1 circuit board will look like:
[IMG-006] Futurebit MCU1 example
Once you figure out which OS image you need, go ahead and download it. The SHA256 hash values for the OS Image files are presented in the GitHub repo. If you’re running Linux on your computer, you can change directory to your Download folder and run the following command to check the SHA256 hash value of the file you downloaded and compare that to the SHA256 hash values on GitHub.
[IMG-007] Verifying Futurebit OS Image Hash Value
With the hash value confirmed, you can use a program like Balena Etcher to flash your microSD card. First remove the microSD card from the Apollo circuit board by pushing it inward, it should make a small click and then spring outward so that you can grab it and remove it from the slot.
Connect the microSD card to your computer with the appropriate adapter.
Open Balena Etcher and click on the “Flash From File” button to define the file path to where you have the OS image saved:
[IMG-008] Balena Etcher user interface
Then click on the “Select Target” button to define the drive which you will be flashing. Select the microSD card and be sure not to select any other drive on your computer by mistake:
[IMG-009] Balena Etcher user interface
Then click on the “Flash” button and Balena Etcher will take care of formatting the microSD card, decompressing the OS image file, and flashing it to the microSD card.
[IMG-010] Balena Etcher user interface.
The flashing process can take some time so be patient. The Balena Etcher interface will allow you to monitor the progress.
[IMG-011] Balena Etcher user interface.
Once the flashing process is completed successfully, you will receive a notice in the balena Etcher interface that looks like this:
[IMG-012] Balena Etcher user interface.
You can remove the microSD card from your computer now and install it back into the Futurebit Apollo. If you have an adequately sized SSD then your block chain data should be safe as that is where it resides, not on the microSD card. If you have a 1TB SSD then this would be a good time to consider upgrading to a 2TB SSD instead. There are lots of options but you want to get an NVME style one like this:
[IMG-013] 1TB vs. 2TB NVME SSD
Simply loosen the screw holding the SSD in place and then remove the old SSD by pulling it out of the socket. Then insert the new one and put the screw back in place.
Once the SSD and microSD are back in place, you can connect Ethernet and the power supply, then apply power to your Apollo.
You will be able to access your Apollo through a web browser on your computer. You will need to figure out the local IP address of your Apollo device so log into your router and check the DHCP leases section. Your router should be accessible from your local network by typing an IP address into your web browser like 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1 or maybe your router manufacturer uses a different default. You should be able to do an internet search for your specific router and figure it out quickly if you don’t already know. If that fails, you can download and run a program like Angry IP Scanner.
Give the Apollo some time to run through a few preliminary and automatic configurations, you should be able to see the Apollo on your local network within 10 minutes of powering it on.
Once you figure out the IP address for your Apollo, type it into your web browser and this is the first screen you should be greeted with:
[IMG-014] Futurebit welcome screen
Click on the button that says “Start setup process”. The next you will see should look like this:
[IMG-015] Futurebit mining selection screen
You have the option here to select solo mining or pooled mining. If you have installed a new SSD card then you should select pooled mining because you will not be able to solo mine until the entire Bitcoin blockchain is downloaded.
Your Apollo will automatically start downloading the Bitcoin blockchain in the background and in the mean-time you can start mining with a pool of your choice like Solo CK Pool or Public Pool or others.
Be forewarned that the Initial Blockchain Download (“IBD”) takes a long time. At the time of this writing, it took 18 days to download the entire blockchain using a Starlink internet connection, which was probably throttled at some points in the process because of the roughly 680 GB of data that it takes.
In February 2022, the IBD on this exact same device took 2 days with a cable internet connection. Maybe the Starlink was a bit of a bottleneck but most likely the extended length of the download can be attributed to all those JPEGS on the blockchain.
Otherwise, if you already have the full blockchain on your SSD then you should be able to start solo mining right away by selecting the solo mining option.
After making your selection, the Apollo will automatically run through some configurations and you should have the option to set a password somewhere in there along the way. Then you should see this page:
[IMG-016] Futurebit setup completion page
Click on the “Start mining” button. Then you should be brought to your dashboard like this:
[IMG-017] Futurebit dashboard
You can monitor your hashrate, temperatures, and more from the dashboard. You can check on the status of your Bitcoin node by clicking on the three-circle looking icon that says “node” on the left-hand side menu.
[IMG-018] Futurebit node page
If you need to update the mining pool, click on the “settings” option at the bottom of the left-hand side menu. There you will see a drop down menu for selecting a pool to use, you can select the “setup custom pool” option to insert the appropriate stratum URL and then your worker name.
Once your IBD is finished, you can start solo mining by toggling on the solo mode at the bottom of the settings page. You will have a chance to update the Bitcoin address you want to mine to. Then click on “save & restart”.
[IMG-019] Futurebit mining pool settings
Then once your system comes back up, you will see a banner at the top of the dashboard page with the IP address you can use to point any other miners you have, like Bitaxes, to your own self-hosted solo mining pool!
[IMG-020] Futurebit solo mining dashboard
Now just sit back and enjoy watching your best shares roll in until you get one higher than the network difficulty and you mine that solo block.
State of the Network:
Hashrate on the 14-day MA according to mempool.space increased from ~793 Eh/s to ~829 Eh/s in March, marking ~4.5% growth for the month.
[IMG-021] 2025 hashrate/difficulty chart from mempool.space
Difficulty was 110.57T at it’s lowest in March and 113.76T at it’s highest, which is a 2.8% increase for the month. All together for 2025 up until the end of March, difficulty has gone up ~3.6%.
According to the Hashrate Index, more efficient miners like the <19 J/Th models are fetching $17.29 per terahash, models between 19J/Th – 25J/Th are selling for $11.05 per terahash, and models >25J/Th are selling for $3.20 per terahash. Overall, prices seem to have dropped slightly over the month of March. You can expect to pay roughly $4,000 for a new-gen miner with 230+ Th/s.
[IMG-022] Miner Prices from Luxor’s Hashrate Index
Hashvalue is closed out in March at ~56,000 sats/Ph per day, relatively flat from Frebruary, according to Braiins Insights. Hashprice is $46.00/Ph per day, down from $47.00/Ph per day in February.
[IMG-023] Hashprice/Hashvalue from Braiins Insights
The next halving will occur at block height 1,050,000 which should be in roughly 1,071 days or in other words ~156,850 blocks from time of publishing this newsletter.

2025-04-22 17:09:47“It isn’t obvious that the world had to work this way. But somehow the universe smiles on encryption.”
hzrd149 & Gigi take a stroll along the shore of cryptographic identities.
This dialogue explores how cryptographic signatures fundamentally shift power dynamics in social networks, moving control from servers to key holders. We discuss the concept of "setting data free" through cryptographic verification, the evolving role of relays in the ecosystem, and the challenges of building trust in decentralized systems. We examine the tension between convenience and decentralization, particularly around features like private data and data synchronization. What are the philosophical foundations of building truly decentralized social networks? And how can small architectural decisions have profound implications for user autonomy and data sovereignty?

@ d1667293:388e7004
2025-04-22 16:52:15In my book “Bitcoindollar The Dawn of American Hegemony in the Digital Era,” I challenge the prevailing narrative that de-dollarization is a distant or hypothetical threat. Rather, I present a body of evidence suggesting that we are already living in a world where de-dollarization is unfolding—not through bombastic proclamations or sudden abandonment of the dollar in trade—but through a quieter, more telling trend: the steady escape of emerging powers like China, Russia, India, and much of the Global South from US Treasuries as the global reserve asset.
Structural, Not Cyclical: The Causes Behind the Exodus
This transformation is not cyclical or temporary; it is structural. The root causes run deep and stem from decades of US foreign and monetary policy—specifically, the aggressive military posturing that has defined American global engagement, the weaponization of dollar-based financial systems, and the overuse of sanctions as instruments of coercion rather than diplomacy. The result has been a widespread erosion of trust in the US as a neutral monetary steward. Increasingly, large economies and trading blocs—such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), BRICS, and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)—are seeking alternatives. They are diversifying their reserves, entering bilateral currency agreements, stockpiling gold, and in some cases, launching central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
The message is clear: the era of unquestioned dollar supremacy is over.
The Treasury Dilemma: Who Will Fund America’s Debt?
This structural shift raises a daunting question for American policymakers: who will buy US Treasuries in the future? For decades, the demand for Treasuries rested on the premise of dollar dominance. Global trade surpluses—especially from oil-exporting nations under the Petrodollar system—were recycled into US debt markets. This “exorbitant privilege” allowed the US to run persistent deficits, finance wars, and project power without facing the immediate fiscal consequences most nations would. But that privilege is now in peril.
The Bitcoindollar System: A Strategic Response
In my book, I argue that the United States still has one viable path forward—a path that does not require relinquishing its leadership role, but rather reimagining it for the digital era. I call this new paradigm the Bitcoindollar system. It is an evolutionary successor to the Petrodollar framework, and it hinges on embracing bitcoin as the global store of value and dollar denominated stablecoins to maintain the US dollar’s relevance in a multipolar world. Under the Bitcoindollar system, global capital flows are incentivized to enter dollar-denominated stablecoins such as USDC and USDT. These stablecoins can then be recycled into short-term US debt instruments like Treasury bills, creating a digital-era version of the Petrodollar recycling mechanism. At the heart of this system lies Bitcoin—not as a threat to the dollar, but as a global decentralized and uncensorable Store of Value (SOV) that drives capital into the broader dollar-denominated ecosystem. As Bitcoin grows in adoption and price, it draws global attention and capital toward stablecoins, which in turn creates natural demand for dollar-based instruments such as Treasuries. This system offers the United States a first-mover advantage. No other nation has the credibility, capital markets depth, or global network effects to replicate it—if, and only if, the dollar’s digital rails are perceived as trustworthy and politically neutral. Herein lies the great conundrum: trust cannot be mandated. It must be earned, particularly in a geopolitical climate where the United States continues to alienate both allies and adversaries alike.
Trump’s Paradox: Economic Nationalism vs Monetary Hegemony
The current Trump administration, despite its rhetoric on economic nationalism, continues along a path that exacerbates this alienation. By doubling down on tariffs, aggressive posturing toward China, and unconditional support for Israel’s supremacist regional ambitions, it perpetuates the same policies that catalyzed de-dollarization in the first place. Tariffs, in this context, are a distraction. The US trade deficit is not primarily the result of unfair trade practices by other countries—it is largely the result of the dollar's role as the global reserve currency. To sustain global demand for dollars, the US has had to export dollars—and therefore run trade deficits. The dollar’s dominance enabled vast capital inflows and supported America’s imperial military architecture, but this model is fundamentally incompatible with dreams of reshoring industry, reducing deficits, and limiting foreign entanglements. Furthermore, these policies undermine any future attempt to establish dollar stablecoins as trusted global instruments. Why would a nation park its savings in a dollar-based asset, however digitized, if it fears arbitrary sanctions or seizure at the stroke of a keyboard? Despite his aggressive posturing, Trump, like Zelensky and the EU before him, has no cards to play to force China or Russia to the table.
A Fork in the Road: Choose Multipolar Collaboration or Decline
Absent a disastrous military escalation—which will not prevent the fall of American unipolar hegemony—the US is left with ONLY ONE path forward: a deliberate, peaceful shift from military and imperial posturing toward a more collaborative, multipolar engagement with the world. This means treating allies, adversaries, and vassal states alike with respect and inclusion in a reimagined dollar-based system—one that is digital, decentralized, and incentivized by global participation. The Bitcoindollar system can serve as the financial infrastructure of this new era, but it demands that the United States rehabilitate its image as a trustworthy party. For the Trump administration to succeed in securing America’s future financial relevance, it must course-correct immediately. This includes ending the influence of the neo-conservative and Zionist hardliners who perpetuate conflict and distrust for their own interest, and embracing a vision of digital dollar diplomacy that builds bridges instead of burning them.
In conclusion, the Bitcoindollar is not just a financial mechanism—it is a strategic opportunity for the United States to retain leadership in the emerging multipolar order. The alternative is clear: a continued slide into irrelevance, fiscal instability, and geopolitical isolation or a mutually assured destruction through war.
The time to act boldly for President Trump is now.

2025-04-22 16:04:06A story of art and inspiration
This image was generated by AI
That is...
I am artificial. I was created by two other humans (hi mum and dad 👋)
I am intelligent. I can perceive the world, experience it, learn to understand cause & effect, and make decisions.
To go perhaps deeper, cells, DNA and life itself are artifices of the fabric of reality.
I sat, in a pub in Bristol, a place where I rarely frequent. I sat with one housemate, who I rarely spent time with. I met his friends that day, only once, never we met again.
I got chatting with a lady there. I had some paper and pencils with me. My intention, for a couple of weeks, was to come up with a symbol to represent Deep Sea Frequencies, at that time still known as Psychedelic Jelly. We were a new collaboration.
She and I got chatting about art. About symbolic representation of concepts, feelings, ideas. We chatted about flow, about how there are different types of flow, different elemental conditions of flow. I doodled some shapes, and we noticed how fire, water and air all look similar due to their fluid natures. So we considered how to differentiate, distinguish them from one another.
I doodled some more, and we came up with swooshes, curls, crests and bubbles. These seemed to be distinguishing enough such that they were no longer reminiscent of fire or air. I doodled fire and air too, just in case, just to check.
Then we chatted about symmetry types, reflective, axes, rotational. About geometry, geometric containers. We both enjoy triangles and hexagons. (It's always hexagons!)
I doodled some more shapes and put them in hexagonal shapes. Then I tried bending them into triangular forms instead, and overlaid two triangles.
Each triangle looked like a triskelion. Perfect.
Overlaid, they looked just like the flow of water, coming up, spiralling down.
The logo was born in this moment, in this serendipitous meeting, in this unlikely chat with a total stranger. We met for the first time that day, and I'm not sure if we ever met again. This interaction was, is, precious, and it led to a particular creation that is now a core part of my life and is a highlight for many people around the UK and the world, as we put on events and released musicians' music.
This is inspiration. This is expression. This is flow, through the fluid nature of the cosmos.
This is what you miss out on when you talk into your AI LLM black hole prompt.
This is what you steal from when you demand your AI LLM to generate you something according to your whim.
Art and expression is the very foundation of human community. Join in! Try new things! Learn from each other! Bring us all closer together by interacting and creating through shared ideas, shared visions, shared wisdom!
After that, I drew it up cleanly, geometrically.
I photographed it like scanning it, carefully aligning the camera because I didn't have a scanner.
I redrew it more than twice.
I digitised it, colourised it, split it into two layers so I could apply colour & lighting effects to it.
I painstakingly traced the photograph into a vector format, to enlarge it and use it for various media.
I even more painstakingly (do we have a more extreme adverb??) divided all the vector shapes into new objects so that the layers became "real". And cleaned up the vector nodes, shaping them to my imagination.
The vector form is used all over our record label & events branding.
And then I imported the vector form into Blender, a 3D rendering application, free and open source.
I learnt Blender, day by day developing my understanding and my skills. Day by day my GPU crashing on raytracing and cutting the laptop's power out!
And finally, I learnt to make some simple renders that look like being underwater, like surreal glassy objects floating in the deep. I even learnt to animate it, although I haven't released that into the wild.
I imagined all of this stuff, and then I spent months over years developing my skills in my spare time in order to bring these imaginations to life.
You can do the same.
You have to sacrifice things.
Sacrifice your time.
Sacrifice your energy.
Sacrifice your distractions and enter yourself into the learning process and the creative process.
To you, amazing lady who helped me draw this symbol from the fabric of the Realm of Forms, thank you! I'm sorry that I don't recall your name, although actually I think I do remember but I would be embarrassed if I tagged the wrong person. Please reach out if you recognise this story! It was about 7, maybe 8 years ago, in the painted pub in St. Werburgh's.

2025-04-22 15:57:28Africa has long grappled with the “resource curse,” a paradox where nations rich in natural resources face economic stagnation, political instability, and reliance on foreign powers. The reason isn’t hard to pinpoint. For centuries, foreign entities have extracted immense wealth from African soil such as gold, oil, cobalt, and more, leaving behind weak institutions, crippling debt, and minimal infrastructure. Instead of fueling local growth and uplifting communities, Africa’s resources have powered the industrial and digital revolutions of others.
Now, this extractive pattern is resurfacing in new ways. Recent headlines paint a clear picture:
-
Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos plan to invest $537 million in Africa to mine rare metals.
-
A ‘terrifying’ crackdown on mining companies in Africa’s coup belt.
-
Blackwater founder and Trump ally strikes mineral security deal with Congo.
-
Biden’s last dash to Africa highlights the power of minerals.
As the world scrambles to secure minerals vital for green energy and artificial intelligence, Africa stands at a crossroads. It can remain a supplier of cheap raw materials or seize this moment to shape its economic destiny.
1. Diversifying Beyond Minerals
The global race for Africa’s resources centers on critical minerals like cobalt in the Congo, rare earths in Zambia, and nickel in Tanzania. Superpowers are jostling for control, but leaning too heavily on mineral exports is fraught with risks. Prices fluctuate wildly, extraction demands massive capital, profits often vanish overseas, and overreliance can fuel political instability by deepening inequality and sparking conflicts over resource control.
To truly escape the boom-and-bust cycles of commodity markets, countries must find alternative ways to monetize their natural advantages, particularly in areas that the rest of the world tends to overlook.
One promising avenue is to tap into the continent’s vast renewable energy sources such as hydro, solar, and geothermal, and convert them into something transformative: Bitcoin.
Bitcoin mining involves validating transactions and securing the Bitcoin network in exchange for new bitcoins and fees. At its heart, it’s an energy market. Wherever there’s surplus or stranded energy, mining can thrive. Africa’s renewable energy potential is enormous and largely untapped. Rather than waiting for foreign companies to swoop in, African governments could monetize their energy directly by mining Bitcoin themselves.
2. Bitcoin Mining for Monetary Independence
Many African nations are burdened by debt, much of it in foreign currencies like the U.S. dollar. Servicing these loans drains public funds and forces governments to prioritize external creditors over local needs.
Bitcoin mining offers a way to build reserves in a neutral, censorship-resistant asset. Unlike foreign aid or currencies, Bitcoin isn’t tied to political strings or inflationary policies of other nations. It’s a step toward financial self-reliance.
In the long run, Bitcoin’s scarcity could drive its value higher, helping countries reduce their reliance on dollar-dominated systems. Looking further ahead, African nations that participate meaningfully in the Bitcoin economy may also gain influence over blockspace, the limited space where Bitcoin transactions are recorded.
3. Stabilizing Energy Grids with Mining
In much of Africa, electricity is costly, unreliable, or nonexistent. Yet, the problem often stems from underused infrastructure. Power producers struggle to recover costs due to inconsistent demand, and grids falter when supply and demand don’t align.
Bitcoin mining can act as an economic “shock absorber” for energy providers. It creates a flexible buyer that adjusts to grid demands, soaking up excess power or scaling back when needed. By placing miners near energy sources, especially in remote areas, utilities can earn steady revenue to fund broader electrification.
Take Gridless in rural Kenya. By mining Bitcoin off-grid with small hydro units, they’ve stabilized local power, supported rural internet access, and lowered costs for nearby residents. This model works. To make a more meaningful impact, however, it needs national-scale adoption supported by clear government strategy.
4. Foreign Miners Are Already Here
The shift is already happening. In Ethiopia, foreign Bitcoin mining firms are signing deals to tap the country’s hydroelectric surplus. Similar moves are underway across the continent. This isn’t a distant possibility; it is already happening.
Miners chase the cheapest energy, and Africa boasts some of the world’s most affordable renewables. Mining will happen with or without local policies. The critical question is whether the benefits will stay in Africa or flow abroad, repeating history’s mistakes.
Foreign companies bring expertise and capital, but if they dominate, African nations risk becoming mere hosts to another extractive industry. Governments must act swiftly by launching national Bitcoin mining initiatives, forging public-private partnerships, and securing ownership of infrastructure to keep the value local.
Conclusion
Africa is at a turning point. The world craves its minerals, its energy, and increasingly, its role in shaping the future. But African nations can’t afford to sit on the sidelines. The next revolution must be led, not endured.
Bitcoin mining is not a silver bullet. It is a tool that, if used wisely, could help transform energy into economic power, build digital infrastructure, and break the cycle of debt and dependence.
Bitcoin miners are already arriving. The real question is whether African nations will take the lead and ensure that this industry builds lasting value at home, rather than repeating the patterns of the past.

beyourownbank #virtualbank
1. Virtual Banking ในประเทศไทย: ความเคลื่อนไหวล่าสุด
Virtual Bank คืออะไร?
Virtual Bank หรือธนาคารพาณิชย์ไร้สาขา เป็นสถาบันการเงินรูปแบบใหม่ที่ให้บริการผ่านช่องทางดิจิทัลเป็นหลัก โดยไม่มีสาขา เครื่องถอนเงินสดอัตโนมัติ (ATM) หรือเครื่องฝากเงินสดอัตโนมัติ (CDM) เป็นของตนเอง แต่ยังสามารถให้บริการทางการเงินได้อย่างครบวงจร
ลูกค้าสามารถทำธุรกรรมต่างๆ เช่น การเปิดบัญชี ฝาก-ถอนเงิน โอนเงิน ชำระเงิน ขอสินเชื่อ และลงทุนผ่านแอปพลิเคชันหรือเว็บไซต์ได้ตลอด 24 ชั่วโมง
ประโยชน์ที่คาดว่าจะได้รับ
- เพิ่มการเข้าถึงบริการทางการเงิน สำหรับประชาชนกลุ่มที่ยังเข้าไม่ถึงธนาคารแบบดั้งเดิม
- ส่งเสริมนวัตกรรมทางการเงิน และการแข่งขันในระบบธนาคาร
- ลดต้นทุนการดำเนินงาน และค่าธรรมเนียมสำหรับผู้ใช้บริการ
ทำไมธนาคารแห่งประเทศไทยจึงเปิดรับ Virtual Bank?
ธนาคารแห่งประเทศไทย (ธปท.) เปิดรับการจัดตั้ง Virtual Bank เพื่อส่งเสริมให้ผู้ที่มีความเชี่ยวชาญด้านการใช้เทคโนโลยี บริการดิจิทัล และข้อมูล เข้ามาช่วยพัฒนาบริการทางการเงินรูปแบบใหม่ที่ตอบโจทย์ลูกค้าได้ดียิ่งขึ้น ช่วยเพิ่มการเข้าถึงบริการทางการเงิน และช่วยกระตุ้นการแข่งขันในระบบสถาบันการเงิน
การอนุญาตให้จัดตั้ง Virtual Bank จะเปิดทางให้ผู้เล่นรายใหม่ที่เชี่ยวชาญด้านเทคโนโลยีใช้ประโยชน์จากข้อมูลอย่างเต็มที่ เพื่อเพิ่มการเข้าถึงสินเชื่อ โดยเฉพาะสำหรับ SMEs ที่เข้าไม่ถึงแหล่งเงินทุน
กลุ่มทุนที่ได้รับสิทธิ์มีใครบ้าง?
ธปท. ได้พิจารณาคุณสมบัติ ศักยภาพ และความสามารถที่จะประกอบธุรกิจ Virtual Bank เสร็จเรียบร้อยแล้ว หลังจากที่ได้สัมภาษณ์กลุ่มที่ยื่นขอใบอนุญาตทั้ง 5 ราย จึงได้คัดเลือก 3 ราย ประกอบด้วย
- ธนาคารกรุงไทย ร่วมกับกลุ่มพันธมิตร Gulf, AIS และ PTT Group
- กลุ่มบริษัทเอสซีบี เอกซ์ (SCBX) ร่วมกับ KakaoBank จากเกาหลีใต้ และพันธมิตร WeBank จากจีน
- บริษัท แอสเซนด์ มันนี่ จำกัด ของกลุ่ม ซีพี
ทั้ง 3 กลุ่มทุนนี้มีความพร้อมทั้งด้านบุคลากร เทคโนโลยี และโครงสร้างพื้นฐาน เพื่อให้บริการ Virtual Bank อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ
เหตุผลในการคัดเลือก: ธปท. ระบุว่าการอนุมัติใบอนุญาตในรอบแรกให้เพียง 3 ราย เพื่อประเมินประสิทธิภาพและความเสี่ยงก่อนที่จะพิจารณาเปิดให้รายอื่นในอนาคต
คาดว่า Virtual Bank จะเริ่มให้บริการได้จริงภายในปี 2569

2. Virtual Banking ≠ Digital Banking
เปรียบเทียบ Digital Bank ปัจจุบัน vs. Virtual Bank
หลายๆ คนคงเคยได้ยินคำว่า Digital Banking หรือ Digital Bank ซึ่งหมายถึงการทำธุรกรรมทางการเงินผ่านช่องทางดิจิทัลเช่น แอปพลิเคชันมือถือหรือเว็บไซต์ แต่เมื่อพูดถึง Virtual Banking นั้น มันไม่ใช่แค่การทำธุรกรรมผ่านแอปสวยๆ อีกต่อไป เราจะมาดูกันว่า Virtual Bank มีความแตกต่างจาก Digital Bank อย่างไรบ้าง:
1. Digital Bank
- รูปแบบการให้บริการ: ใช้เทคโนโลยีดิจิทัลในการให้บริการทางการเงิน เช่น เปิดบัญชี ฝาก-ถอน โอนเงิน ชำระค่าบริการต่างๆ ผ่านแอปพลิเคชันของธนาคารที่มีอยู่ในปัจจุบัน
- สาขา: แม้ว่าไม่มีสาขาที่ให้บริการเต็มรูปแบบ แต่บางธนาคารยังคงมีสาขาเป็นตัวช่วยในการให้บริการต่างๆ เช่น การเปิดบัญชีใหม่ หรือการให้คำปรึกษา
- ระบบการให้บริการ: บริการที่มีอยู่เป็นการปรับปรุงจากระบบเดิมให้เหมาะสมกับการใช้งานในยุคดิจิทัล
2. Virtual Bank
- รูปแบบการให้บริการ: เป็นธนาคารที่ไม่มีสาขาหรือเครื่อง ATM และให้บริการทั้งหมดผ่านช่องทางดิจิทัล ไม่ว่าจะเป็นแอปพลิเคชันหรือเว็บไซต์ที่ทำงานเต็มรูปแบบ ซึ่งรวมถึงการวิเคราะห์ข้อมูลลูกค้าผ่าน AI เพื่อให้สินเชื่ออย่างแม่นยำ
- การเปิดบัญชี: กระบวนการเปิดบัญชีหรือขอสินเชื่อเป็นแบบดิจิทัลทั้งหมด และสามารถทำได้ทันทีผ่านแอปพลิเคชัน
- เป้าหมาย: Virtual Banking ไม่ได้เป็นแค่การย้ายบริการจากหน้าสาขามาอยู่บนออนไลน์ แต่คือการสร้างระบบการเงินที่ช่วยให้เข้าถึงบริการทางการเงินได้ง่ายขึ้นสำหรับกลุ่มคนที่ไม่สามารถเข้าถึงธนาคารดั้งเดิม
🔍 ความแตกต่างหลักระหว่าง Virtual Banking และ Digital Banking
| | | | |---|---|---| |หัวข้อ|Virtual Banking|Digital Banking| |สถานะองค์กร|เป็น ธนาคารพาณิชย์ที่ไม่มีสาขาเลย (branchless bank) ที่ก่อตั้งขึ้นใหม่|เป็น ธนาคารเดิม ที่ใช้เทคโนโลยีดิจิทัลในการให้บริการ| |โครงสร้างต้นทุน|ต่ำกว่า เพราะไม่ต้องลงทุนในสาขาและพนักงานหน้าสาขา|ยังมีต้นทุนโครงสร้างสาขาและระบบเดิม (legacy systems)| |แนวคิดเริ่มต้น|ออกแบบมาเพื่อลดความเหลื่อมล้ำในการเข้าถึงการเงิน (financial inclusion)|พัฒนาเพื่อเพิ่มความสะดวกของลูกค้าปัจจุบัน| |กลุ่มเป้าหมายหลัก|กลุ่ม underserved เช่น ผู้ไม่มีบัญชีธนาคาร, ฟรีแลนซ์, แรงงานนอกระบบ ฯลฯ|ลูกค้าธนาคารทั่วไปที่ใช้บริการอยู่แล้ว| |การดำเนินงาน|ดำเนินการ ทุกอย่างแบบออนไลน์ 100% ตั้งแต่เปิดบัญชี ยืนยันตัวตน ไปจนถึงการให้สินเชื่อ|ส่วนใหญ่ยังผสมผสานกับระบบออฟไลน์ เช่น การยืนยันตัวตนที่สาขา| |ระบบหลังบ้าน (Core)|สร้างขึ้นใหม่ บน cloud-native, agile และ automation-ready|มักมีระบบเดิมที่ซับซ้อน ทำให้เปลี่ยนแปลงได้ช้ากว่า| |ความยืดหยุ่นทางเทคโนโลยี|สูง (เพราะเริ่มจากศูนย์)|จำกัดกว่า (เพราะผูกกับระบบเดิม)|
🎯 สรุปสั้น ๆ
- Digital Bank = ธนาคารเดิมที่ "เปลี่ยนแปลง" ตัวเองด้วยดิจิทัล
- Virtual Bank = ธนาคารใหม่ที่ "เกิดมาเพื่อดิจิทัลตั้งแต่ต้น"
ถ้าจะเปรียบเทียบแบบง่าย ๆ:
Digital Banking เหมือนรถเก่าที่เอาไปติดตั้งระบบไฮบริด Virtual Banking เหมือนรถไฟฟ้าใหม่ที่สร้างมาเพื่อเป็น EV ตั้งแต่ต้น
ตัวอย่าง Virtual Bank ในต่างประเทศที่ประสบความสำเร็จ:
- KakaoBank (เกาหลีใต้) – ไม่มีสาขาเลย แต่กลายเป็นธนาคารที่มีลูกค้ามากที่สุดในเกาหลี
- WeBank (จีน) – ของกลุ่ม Tencent ดำเนินงานทุกอย่างผ่าน WeChat
- Revolut, Monzo, Starling Bank (UK) – สร้างใหม่หมดและทำทุกอย่างผ่านแอป
🎯 จากมุมมอง Gen Z / Alpha: UX ที่ “ไม่รู้สึกถึงความต่าง”
📱 พฤติกรรมดิจิทัลของคนรุ่นใหม่
- โตมากับ K Plus, SCB Easy, Krungthai Next, TrueMoney, Line BK ฯลฯ
- ใช้ digital wallet, QR, promptpay, BNPL จนเป็นเรื่องปกติ
- มองทุกบริการทางการเงินผ่าน “mobile-first” อยู่แล้ว
Virtual Bank ≠ “อะไรที่แปลกใหม่” แต่คือ “แค่แอปธนาคารอีกอัน” ถ้ามันไม่ต่างในประสบการณ์ผู้ใช้
ดังนั้น…
ถ้า Virtual Bank ใหม่ ยังเปิดบัญชีแบบ eKYC ธรรมดา ยังโอนเงินแบบแอปทั่วไป ยังมี UX แบบ list-based menu เหมือน mobile banking เดิม มันจะไม่มี “ความว้าว” หรือ “sense of new experience” สำหรับคนรุ่นนี้เลย
Virtual Bank คืออะไรที่ “มากกว่าแค่มีแอปสวย”
การพูดถึง Virtual Bank หลายคนอาจนึกถึงแค่ “แอปพลิเคชันที่ใช้งานง่าย” หรือ “UI ที่สวยงาม” ซึ่งไม่ผิด แต่ความจริงแล้ว Virtual Bank คือการออกแบบระบบการเงินใหม่ ที่มีความแตกต่างจากธนาคารทั่วไป โดยเฉพาะในด้าน การเข้าถึง และ การให้บริการที่เป็นส่วนตัว มากกว่า:
- การเข้าถึง (Access): Virtual Banking มีเป้าหมายในการเพิ่มการเข้าถึงบริการทางการเงินให้แก่กลุ่มคนที่ไม่สามารถเข้าถึงธนาคารทั่วไป เช่น กลุ่มคนที่อาศัยในพื้นที่ห่างไกล, คนที่ไม่มีเอกสารหรือประวัติการเงินที่สามารถเปิดบัญชีธนาคารได้
- การใช้ข้อมูลลูกค้า: ระบบของ Virtual Bank จะสามารถใช้ข้อมูลจากการทำธุรกรรมหรือพฤติกรรมการใช้งานเพื่อให้การอนุมัติสินเชื่อได้อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ แม่นยำ และรวดเร็ว
- ความสะดวกและประหยัด: ไม่มีค่าใช้จ่ายในการตั้งสาขาหรือเครื่อง ATM ทำให้สามารถนำเสนอบริการที่มีค่าธรรมเนียมต่ำและสามารถให้บริการแก่กลุ่มลูกค้าที่ต้องการสินเชื่อในจำนวนเล็กน้อย
เป้าหมายเชิงระบบ: เพิ่มการเข้าถึง (Inclusion) ไม่ใช่แค่พัฒนา UI
เมื่อพูดถึง การเข้าถึง (Inclusion) การที่ธนาคารเปิดให้บริการ Virtual Bank เป็นการมองเห็นความสำคัญของการขยายขอบเขตการให้บริการทางการเงินไปยังกลุ่มคนที่ไม่เคยได้มีโอกาสเข้าถึงมาก่อน:
- เพิ่มการเข้าถึงทางการเงิน: โดยการใช้เทคโนโลยีดิจิทัลให้บริการที่สามารถเข้าถึงได้จากทุกที่ และการใช้ข้อมูลทางเทคโนโลยีเพื่อประเมินความเสี่ยงการให้สินเชื่อได้แม่นยำขึ้น
- กลุ่มเป้าหมาย: กลุ่มลูกค้าใหม่ๆ ที่ไม่เคยมีบัญชีธนาคารมาก่อน และกลุ่มลูกค้าที่ไม่สามารถเข้าถึงบริการจากธนาคารทั่วไปได้ เช่น คนในพื้นที่ห่างไกล
- ไม่ใช่แค่การพัฒนา UI: การพัฒนา UI ที่ดีขึ้นและสวยงามนั้นเป็นส่วนหนึ่งของ Virtual Banking แต่เป้าหมายหลักคือการสร้างระบบการเงินที่สามารถเพิ่มโอกาสในการเข้าถึงบริการการเงินได้จริงๆ โดยไม่ต้องอาศัยการมีสาขาหรือระบบที่เป็นภาระทางกายภาพ
3. ใครได้ประโยชน์จาก Virtual Bank จริง ๆ?
การเกิดขึ้นของ Virtual Banking ทำให้ผู้คนที่ไม่เคยเข้าถึงบริการทางการเงินแบบเดิมสามารถมีโอกาสในการเปิดบัญชีและเข้าถึงสินเชื่อได้มากขึ้น โดยไม่จำเป็นต้องพึ่งพาธนาคารที่มีสาขาหรือเครื่อง ATM ในพื้นที่ใกล้เคียง
วิเคราะห์กลุ่มผู้ใช้ที่ได้ประโยชน์
1. กลุ่ม “นอกระบบธนาคารเดิม” / คนที่ไม่มีบัญชีธนาคาร / อาชีพอิสระ / พ่อค้าแม่ค้า
คนที่ไม่มีเครดิต ไม่มีสลิปเงินเดือน ไม่มีเวลาหรือความรู้ในการเปิดบัญชีแบบปกติ ผู้ที่มี "รายได้จริง" แต่ “ไม่มีหลักฐาน” แบบที่แบงก์ต้องการ
- กลุ่มนี้ มักจะเป็นคนที่มีรายได้ไม่คงที่ หรือบางครั้งไม่มีเอกสารการเงินที่สามารถใช้เปิดบัญชีในธนาคารทั่วไปได้
- ตัวอย่าง: คนขายของออนไลน์ที่ไม่มีบัญชีธนาคาร หรือคนทำงานอิสระที่ไม่มีการรายงานรายได้ที่ชัดเจน
- ประโยชน์:
- เปิดบัญชีง่าย ผ่านช่องทางดิจิทัลโดยไม่ต้องไปสาขา
- สามารถรับและโอนเงินได้สะดวกโดยไม่ต้องพึ่งพาเงินสด
- เข้าถึง สินเชื่อขนาดเล็ก ได้ง่ายขึ้นเพื่อหมุนเวียนเงินทุนในการทำธุรกิจ
- การอนุมัติสินเชื่อสามารถใช้ ข้อมูลพฤติกรรม การใช้จ่ายแทนการใช้ข้อมูลเครดิตแบบดั้งเดิม
2. คนรายได้น้อย / First Jobbers
กลุ่มที่ยังไม่มีเครดิตดีพอจะใช้บัตรเครดิต หรือกู้ธนาคารแบบเดิม
- กลุ่มนี้ คือคนที่เพิ่งเริ่มต้นทำงาน หรือมีรายได้ที่ต่ำกว่าเกณฑ์ปกติ ไม่สามารถเปิดบัญชีธนาคารได้ง่าย
- ตัวอย่าง: ผู้ที่เพิ่งจบการศึกษาและเริ่มทำงาน หรือคนที่มีอาชีพเสริมที่ไม่ค่อยมีรายได้ที่แน่นอน
- ประโยชน์:
- สามารถเปิดบัญชีและเริ่มใช้บริการทางการเงินได้ง่ายขึ้น
- การอนุมัติสินเชื่อ จะใช้ข้อมูลพฤติกรรมการใช้จ่ายจากการซื้อสินค้าหรือจ่ายค่าสาธารณูปโภคแทนเครดิตสกอร์
- ทำให้คนเหล่านี้สามารถเข้าถึง สินเชื่อขนาดเล็ก และเงินทุนหมุนเวียนในช่วงแรกๆ ของชีวิตการทำงานได้
3. Gen X / Baby Boomer ที่อยู่ไกลจากสาขา
- กลุ่มนี้ คือผู้ที่อาจจะไม่มีความสะดวกในการเดินทางไปที่ธนาคารหรืออาศัยอยู่ในพื้นที่ห่างไกล
- ตัวอย่าง: ผู้สูงอายุที่ไม่สะดวกเดินทางไปธนาคาร หรือคนที่อาศัยในชุมชนห่างไกลที่ไม่มีธนาคารอยู่ใกล้ๆ
- ประโยชน์:
- สามารถ ทำธุรกรรมออนไลน์ ได้สะดวก ไม่ต้องเสียเวลาหรือค่าใช้จ่ายในการเดินทางไปยังสาขาธนาคาร
- การเปิดบัญชีง่าย: ไม่มีการเดินทางไปที่ธนาคารหรือการยื่นเอกสารที่ซับซ้อน
- สามารถ ขอสินเชื่อ สำหรับค่าใช้จ่ายส่วนบุคคลหรือการซ่อมแซมบ้านได้โดยไม่ต้องพึ่งการเงินนอกระบบ
🧠 สรุปให้เลย:
| | | | |---|---|---| |กลุ่มผู้ใช้|จะได้ประโยชน์จาก Virtual Bank?|ทำไม| |คนไม่มีบัญชีธนาคาร|✅ สูงมาก|เปิดบัญชีง่าย, เข้าถึงสินเชื่อ| |คนรายได้น้อย / อาชีพอิสระ|✅ สูง|วัดเครดิตจาก data ไม่ใช่เอกสาร| |วัยเริ่มต้นทำงาน|✅ สูง|มี product แบบ flexible, gamified| |Gen X / Boomer เมืองใหญ่|❌ ไม่ต่างมาก|ใช้ mobile banking เดิมได้อยู่แล้ว| |Gen X / Boomer ต่างจังหวัด|✅ บ้าง|ถ้ามี UX ที่เข้าใจง่าย + ไม่มีสาขา|
ประโยชน์ที่เห็นชัดเจน:
1. สินเชื่อขนาดเล็ก
- Virtual Bank สามารถให้สินเชื่อในวงเงินที่ต่ำ (micro loans) ซึ่งจะตอบโจทย์สำหรับผู้ที่มีความจำเป็นใช้เงินในทันที โดยไม่ต้องรอการอนุมัติสินเชื่อจากธนาคารที่มีขั้นตอนซับซ้อน
- การอนุมัติสินเชื่อจะเป็นไปตามข้อมูลพฤติกรรมการใช้จ่ายหรือบันทึกการเงินในแอปพลิเคชัน เพื่อให้เข้าถึงกลุ่มผู้ใช้ที่มีประวัติการเงินไม่สมบูรณ์
2. เปิดบัญชีง่าย
- Virtual Bank ช่วยให้ทุกคนสามารถเปิดบัญชีได้ง่ายๆ ผ่านแอปพลิเคชันมือถือ โดยไม่ต้องไปที่ธนาคารหรือทำตามขั้นตอนที่ยุ่งยาก
- เปิดโอกาสให้คนที่ไม่มีบัญชีธนาคาร หรือไม่สามารถเดินทางไปที่ธนาคารสามารถใช้บริการการเงินได้ทันที
3. ใช้ข้อมูลพฤติกรรมวิเคราะห์เครดิต
- การให้สินเชื่อและการประเมินความเสี่ยงทางการเงินไม่จำเป็นต้องพึ่งข้อมูลเครดิตแบบเดิมๆ (Credit score) อีกต่อไป
- แทนที่ด้วย ข้อมูลพฤติกรรม การใช้จ่าย เช่น รายจ่ายประจำ, การชำระเงินบิลต่างๆ ซึ่งสามารถใช้ในการวิเคราะห์ความสามารถในการชำระหนี้และการอนุมัติสินเชื่อ
โอกาส: ลดการพึ่งพาเงินกู้นอกระบบ
การเปิดตัว Virtual Bank ไม่เพียงแต่ช่วยให้คนเข้าถึงบริการทางการเงินได้ง่ายขึ้น แต่ยังเป็นทางเลือกที่ช่วยลดการพึ่งพา เงินกู้นอกระบบ สำหรับกลุ่มคนที่ไม่สามารถเข้าถึงธนาคารได้ ด้วยระบบสินเชื่อขนาดเล็กและการอนุมัติที่รวดเร็ว การใช้ข้อมูลพฤติกรรมการใช้จ่ายเป็นอีกหนึ่งเครื่องมือที่ช่วยให้การอนุมัติสินเชื่อทำได้อย่างยุติธรรมและไม่จำเป็นต้องพึ่งระบบการเงินดั้งเดิมที่เข้าถึงยาก
4. ในอีกด้านหนึ่ง… Virtual Bank ก็ยังอยู่ในโครงสร้างเดิม
💬 จริงหรือที่ Virtual Bank จะ "Disrupt" ระบบเดิม?
ในแง่ทฤษฎี — Virtual Banking ควรจะเป็น เครื่องมือสำหรับ disruption (พลิกโฉมระบบเดิม) แต่ในบริบทของไทย — มันกลับกลายเป็นเพียง "extension" ของทุนเดิม
เพราะอะไร?
- ผู้เล่นที่ได้รับสิทธิ์ล้วนเป็นกลุ่มทุนใหญ่:
- กรุงไทย → ธนาคารรัฐ + PTT Group + Gulf + AIS → กลุ่มทุนผูกขาดพลังงาน + โทรคม
- SCBX → กลุ่มแบงก์ใหญ่อันดับต้น ๆ ของไทย + KakaoBank (พันธมิตรเชิงกลยุทธ์)
- Ascend Money → กลุ่ม CP → บรรษัทเอกชนที่ใหญ่ที่สุดในประเทศ
- ธปท. เองก็เล่นเกมแบบ “ค่อย ๆ เปิด”:
- อนุญาตแค่ 3 เจ้าในรอบแรก
- คัดเฉพาะกลุ่มที่มี “ความพร้อมสูง” → หมายถึงกลุ่มทุนเดิมที่มีทรัพยากรมหาศาล
- ใช้เวลาประเมินเป็นปี กว่าจะเปิดจริงก็คือปี 2569 → เวลาให้กลุ่มทุนเดิมปรับตัวได้อีกเพียบ
- ขาดผู้เล่นสาย tech-first ที่แท้จริง:
- ไม่มี startup fintech แท้ ๆ ได้เข้ารอบ
- ไม่มี operator แบบ lean ๆ ที่เริ่มจาก user-centric model จริง ๆ เหมือน Monzo หรือ Revolut
🧠 สรุป: ในบริบทไทย Virtual Bank = “Digital Arm ของทุนเดิม”
- ไม่ใช่ Disruption
- ไม่ใช่ Democratization
- แต่คือ การ Consolidation ของกลุ่มทุนเดิมที่ปรับตัวสู่โลกดิจิทัล
"Virtual Banking แบบไทย ๆ = แบงก์ที่ไม่มีสาขา แต่ยังมีอิทธิพลเก่าอยู่ครบ"
แม้ว่าการเปิดตัว Virtual Bank จะสร้างความหวังในการเข้าถึงบริการการเงินให้กับผู้คนที่ไม่เคยได้รับโอกาสจากระบบธนาคารแบบดั้งเดิม แต่ในอีกด้านหนึ่งเราก็ต้องไม่มองข้ามข้อเท็จจริงที่ว่า Virtual Bank ยังอยู่ในกรอบการทำงานของระบบการเงินที่มีอำนาจควบคุมอยู่แล้ว
“Virtual Banking = Inclusion-driven Business, not Charity”
พูดง่าย ๆ: “เข้าถึงได้ง่ายขึ้น แต่ไม่ได้หมายความว่าจะฟรี หรือหวังดีล้วน ๆ”
✅ เข้าถึงกลุ่มที่เคยถูกมองข้าม
- คนกลุ่มใหญ่ของประเทศ เช่น แรงงานนอกระบบ, ชุมชนชนบท, ผู้ค้ารายย่อย
- ไม่เคยเข้าแบงก์ → ไม่เคยเป็นลูกค้า → ยังไม่มีรายได้จากเขา → ยังไม่มี "เครดิต"
- Virtual Banking ทำให้ “เข้าถึง” = กลายเป็นกลุ่มลูกค้าใหม่ ที่ไม่เคยสร้างรายได้ให้มาก่อน
และเมื่อเข้าถึงแล้ว ก็สามารถ monetize ผ่านสินเชื่อ, ดอกเบี้ย, ค่าธรรมเนียม ฯลฯ ซึ่งแน่นอน…มันคือการ “เปลี่ยน asset ที่ธนาคารแตะไม่ถึง → ให้เป็น yield generating unit”
กลุ่มทุนเก่าเป็นผู้ควบคุม ไม่ใช่ Startup ใหม่ที่จะ disrupt
การเปิดตัว Virtual Bank ในประเทศไทย ไม่ได้หมายความว่าเราจะเห็นการเปลี่ยนแปลงครั้งใหญ่ในโครงสร้างของธนาคารหรือระบบการเงินของประเทศ เพราะ กลุ่มทุนเก่า คือผู้ที่ได้รับสิทธิ์ในการดำเนินการธนาคารดิจิทัล และในหลายกรณีก็เป็น ธนาคารใหญ่ หรือ กลุ่มเทคโนโลยีที่มีอิทธิพล (เช่น ธนาคารพาณิชย์, กลุ่มเทคโนโลยีและโทรคมนาคม) ที่ถือหุ้นในบริษัทที่เปิดให้บริการ Virtual Banking
- ตัวอย่าง: ธนาคารใหญ่ที่มีบทบาทในการอนุมัติสินเชื่อและทำธุรกรรมดิจิทัล หรือกลุ่ม Telco ที่มีฐานลูกค้าจำนวนมหาศาล (เช่น AIS, True) และสามารถนำเสนอบริการธนาคารได้
- คำถาม: ถ้าเป็นเช่นนี้ ความแตกต่างระหว่าง Virtual Bank กับ Digital Bank ที่มีแอปพลิเคชันใช้งานอยู่แล้วจะต่างกันมากไหม? หรือจริงๆ แล้วการเปิดตัว Virtual Bank จะกลายเป็นเพียงการ เพิ่มช่องทางการเข้าถึง บริการจากกลุ่มทุนเก่าที่มีอยู่แล้ว
การวิเคราะห์เชิงเศรษฐกิจ: สร้าง "หนี้ใหม่" จากกลุ่มที่ไม่เคยเป็นหนี้
ในด้านเศรษฐกิจของ Virtual Bank เราอาจจะต้องพิจารณาถึงผลกระทบในระยะยาวที่เกิดจากการ สร้างหนี้ใหม่ ให้กับกลุ่มคนที่ไม่เคยเป็นหนี้มาก่อน:
- กลุ่มเป้าหมายหลัก ของ Virtual Banking คือคนที่ไม่เคยมีบัญชีธนาคาร หรืออาชีพที่มีรายได้ไม่แน่นอน ซึ่งโดยทั่วไปแล้วกลุ่มคนเหล่านี้มักจะขาดแคลนแหล่งเงินทุนและมีประวัติการเงินที่ไม่สมบูรณ์
- การอนุมัติ สินเชื่อขนาดเล็ก ที่มักจะใช้พฤติกรรมการใช้จ่ายในการประเมินเครดิตแทนการใช้ข้อมูลแบบดั้งเดิม (เช่นเครดิตสกอร์) อาจทำให้กลุ่มคนเหล่านี้สามารถเข้าถึงเงินกู้ได้ง่ายขึ้น
- คำถามสำคัญ: เมื่อกลุ่มคนที่ไม่เคยเป็นหนี้มาก่อนสามารถเข้าถึงสินเชื่อได้ง่ายขึ้น จะเกิดผลกระทบต่อเศรษฐกิจในระยะยาวหรือไม่? เพราะการเข้าถึงสินเชื่อที่ไม่รัดกุมอาจจะทำให้ผู้ใช้บริการมีภาระหนี้สินเพิ่มขึ้นได้
ความเสี่ยง:
- เพิ่มหนี้สิน: หากไม่มีการควบคุมหรือการประเมินที่ดีเพียงพอ การเข้าถึงสินเชื่ออาจทำให้บางกลุ่มคนมีหนี้สินที่ไม่สามารถชำระได้ ซึ่งอาจสร้างปัญหาด้านเศรษฐกิจในอนาคต
- หนี้เสีย: การขยายตัวของหนี้ในกลุ่มคนที่ไม่มีการศึกษาทางการเงินที่ดีอาจนำไปสู่ หนี้เสีย (Non-performing Loans, NPLs) ซึ่งจะส่งผลต่อความมั่นคงของระบบการเงินโดยรวม
เป็นการขยายอำนาจของระบบเครดิต ไม่ได้ลดมัน
การที่ Virtual Bank เข้ามาแทนที่ระบบธนาคารแบบดั้งเดิมไม่ได้หมายความว่าเราจะเห็นการ ลดอำนาจของระบบเครดิต หรือการกระจายอำนาจการเงินอย่างแท้จริง
- แม้ว่าบริการต่างๆ ของ Virtual Bank จะมุ่งหวังในการเพิ่มการเข้าถึงบริการทางการเงิน แต่สิ่งที่เกิดขึ้นจริงคือการขยายขอบเขตของ ระบบเครดิต ไปยังกลุ่มคนที่ไม่เคยเป็นหนี้มาก่อน
- การขยายระบบเครดิต นี้ยังคงเป็นการพึ่งพา อำนาจของกลุ่มทุนใหญ่ ที่เป็นผู้ควบคุมระบบการเงิน ผ่านการอนุมัติสินเชื่อที่ทำให้กลุ่มคนเหล่านี้ยังคงต้องอยู่ภายใต้การควบคุมทางการเงินในระยะยาว
คำถาม: ในระยะยาว Virtual Bank จะทำให้เกิดการกระจายอำนาจทางการเงินที่แท้จริง หรือจะเป็นแค่การขยายอำนาจของกลุ่มทุนใหญ่ผ่านช่องทางใหม่ๆ เท่านั้น?
เรื่องนี้ไม่ใหม่ แต่เปลี่ยน “รูปแบบของการกู้”
มันคือการ “ขยายขอบเขตของ fractional reserve ให้ไกลกว่าเดิม” เข้าถึงกลุ่มคนที่เคยกู้ไม่ได้ → แต่ตอนนี้กู้ได้ → แล้วก็สร้างหนี้ใหม่เพิ่มในระบบ
🤯 สรุปแบบแรง ๆ แต่ตรงประเด็น:
Virtual Banking ไม่ได้มา “Disrupt ระบบเดิม” แต่มา “ขยายรัศมีของระบบเดิมให้ลึกขึ้นกว่าเดิม” โดยเฉพาะในกลุ่มที่ยังไม่มีหนี้ → แล้วเปลี่ยนเขาให้มีหนี้ (ในระบบ)
🔁 กลยุทธ์ “เพื่อสังคม” หรือ “เพื่อ margin”?
คำตอบที่อาจเจ็บแต่จริงคือ:
“Virtual Banking = Inclusion ที่ทำให้เกิดรายได้แบบ scalable” และถ้าทำดี มัน win-win (คนเข้าถึงบริการ → กลุ่มทุนได้รายได้) แต่ถ้าทำไม่ดี มันคือ micro-debt bubble ที่รอวันปะทุ
Bitcoiner ควรมองเรื่องนี้ยังไง?
ถ้ามองแบบ hard-money view:
- มันคือการขยายเครดิตที่ไม่ได้ back ด้วย savings จริง ๆ → เสี่ยงเงินเฟ้อ
- การใช้ big data มาประเมินเครดิต → เพิ่ม efficiency ของ credit system แต่ก็เพิ่ม dependency บนระบบ centralized
แต่ถ้ามองแบบ practical:
- มันลด pain ของคนที่ต้องพึ่ง loan shark ที่คิดดอกเบี้ยรายวัน 20%
- ถ้ามีการกำกับดี → อาจเป็น gateway ให้คนเข้ามาสู่ระบบเศรษฐกิจ formal ได้
- แต่ถ้ามองในเชิง "โอกาส" สำหรับคนทั่วไปและ SMEs → ยังพอมีแง่ดีอยู่ เช่น:
- สินเชื่อที่ไม่ต้องใช้หลักทรัพย์
- การเข้าถึงบริการสำหรับแรงงานนอกระบบ
- การแข่งขันด้านดอกเบี้ยและค่าธรรมเนียม
5. มุมมองของ Bitcoiner: นี่ไม่ใช่ Virtual Bank ที่แท้จริง
ในมุมมองของ Bitcoiner (ผู้ที่สนับสนุนการใช้ Bitcoin และ Lightning Network), Virtual Banking ที่เกิดขึ้นในโลกนี้ยังคงไม่ใช่สิ่งที่พวกเขาเรียกว่า "Virtual Bank ที่แท้จริง" เนื่องจากระบบการเงินดิจิทัลที่มีอยู่ในปัจจุบันยังคงถูกควบคุมโดยกลุ่มทุนใหญ่และระบบธนาคารที่มีการสร้างเงินใหม่ (เช่น การปล่อยสินเชื่อและดอกเบี้ย) รวมทั้งยังต้องผ่านกระบวนการอนุมัติจากบุคคลที่สาม
Bitcoin และ Lightning Network คือคำตอบที่พวกเขามองว่าเป็น "Virtual Banking" ที่แท้จริง ซึ่งไม่ต้องมีธนาคารเป็นตัวกลางและไม่ต้องผ่านการควบคุมใดๆ
“Virtual Banking ที่แท้จริง คือ Bitcoin & Lightning — ธนาคารของปัจเจก ที่ไม่มีใครปิดได้” Bank ที่ไม่ต้องขออนุญาตใคร, ไม่ต้องมีเงื่อนไข KYC, ไม่สร้างหนี้ ไม่ inflate supply
💥 เปรียบเทียบแบบชัด ๆ
| | | | |---|---|---| |ด้าน|Virtual Bank (แบบกลุ่มทุน)|Bitcoin / Lightning Network| |การควบคุม|Centralized (กลุ่มทุน, ธปท.)|Decentralized (Node-run)| |การเปิดบัญชี|ต้องผ่าน KYC / eKYC|แค่สร้าง keypair ก็ใช้ได้| |การสร้างเงิน|ปล่อยกู้ → Credit expansion|Fixed supply (21M BTC)| |ความเป็นเจ้าของ|เป็นลูกค้าของธนาคาร|เป็นเจ้าของเงินของตัวเองจริง ๆ| |ความเป็นส่วนตัว|ข้อมูลถูกรวบรวม|ไม่ผูกข้อมูลส่วนบุคคล (pseudonymous)| |ความมั่นคง|ขึ้นกับนโยบายและเสถียรภาพของธนาคาร|ขึ้นกับ global consensus และ cryptography| |ความเร็ว/ค่าธรรมเนียม|เร็วกว่าเดิม แต่ยังอยู่ในกรอบระบบ|Lightning = near instant + ถูกมาก|
Bitcoin และ Lightning Network: Virtual Banking แบบไม่ต้องมีธนาคาร
- Bitcoin เป็นเงินดิจิทัลที่ไม่มีตัวกลาง ไม่มีการออกหรือสร้างเงินใหม่ และ ไม่มีดอกเบี้ย ซึ่งทำให้มันแตกต่างจากระบบธนาคารที่มีการสร้างเงินจากสินเชื่อ
- Lightning Network เป็นโครงข่ายการชำระเงินที่สามารถทำการโอน Bitcoin ได้อย่างรวดเร็วและประหยัดค่าใช้จ่าย โดยไม่ต้องพึ่งพาธนาคารหรือผู้ให้บริการทางการเงินใดๆ
ทำไม Bitcoin และ Lightning Network ถึงเป็น "Virtual Bank" ที่แท้จริง?
- ไม่มีการสร้างเงินใหม่: ไม่มีการขยายวงเงินผ่านการปล่อยสินเชื่อ ทำให้ไม่เกิดการเพิ่มหนี้ในระบบ
- ไม่มีดอกเบี้ย: ธุรกรรม Bitcoin ไม่ได้ขึ้นอยู่กับการเก็บดอกเบี้ยจากผู้ยืม
- ไม่มีการอนุมัติจากบุคคลที่สาม: ทุกการทำธุรกรรมสามารถเกิดขึ้นได้โดยไม่ต้องขออนุญาตจากธนาคารหรือรัฐบาล
Sovereign Individual = เป็นเจ้าของเงิน 100% ไม่ต้องขอใคร
หลักการสำคัญที่ Bitcoiners มักพูดถึงคือแนวคิดของ Sovereign Individual หรือ "บุคคลที่มีอำนาจในตัวเอง" ซึ่งหมายความว่า เจ้าของเงินเป็นผู้ควบคุมเงินของตนเอง โดยไม่ต้องพึ่งพาระบบการเงินของธนาคารหรือองค์กรการเงินใดๆ
- การเป็น Sovereign Individual คือการไม่ต้องให้ใครมีอำนาจในการควบคุมหรืออนุมัติการใช้เงินของตัวเอง
- เงินที่ใช้เป็น Bitcoin หรือ Lightning Network จะเป็น เงินที่สามารถเก็บและใช้งานได้โดยตรง โดยไม่ต้องพึ่งพาธนาคารใดๆ
- ผู้ใช้สามารถ โอนเงิน หรือ ชำระเงิน ได้อย่างอิสระจากทุกที่ในโลก โดยไม่ต้องขออนุญาตจากธนาคารหรือรัฐบาล
เปรียบเทียบโดยสรุปให้อีกที
| | | | |---|---|---| |ด้าน|Virtual Bank (ธนาคารดิจิทัล)|Bitcoin & Lightning Network| |การควบคุม|ควบคุมโดยกลุ่มทุนเก่าหรือธนาคารที่มีการควบคุมระบบการเงิน|ควบคุมโดยชุมชนและผู้ใช้ทุกคน ไม่ขึ้นกับการควบคุมจากบุคคลที่สาม| |การสร้างเงิน|ธนาคารสร้างเงินใหม่ผ่านการปล่อยสินเชื่อและการเก็บดอกเบี้ย|Bitcoin ไม่มีการสร้างเงินใหม่ และไม่มีการขยายหนี้| |เสรีภาพ|การทำธุรกรรมยังคงต้องผ่านตัวกลาง เช่น ธนาคารหรือผู้ให้บริการ|ไม่มีตัวกลาง การโอนเงินทำได้ทันทีและไม่มีข้อจำกัด| |ความเป็นเจ้าของ|เงินอยู่ภายใต้การควบคุมของธนาคาร ผู้ใช้ต้องขออนุญาตจากธนาคารในการเข้าถึงเงิน|ผู้ใช้เป็นเจ้าของเงิน 100% และสามารถทำธุรกรรมได้โดยไม่ต้องขออนุญาตจากใคร|
สรุป
สำหรับ Bitcoiner, การเห็น Virtual Banking ในรูปแบบปัจจุบันยังคงไม่ใช่การปฏิวัติทางการเงินที่แท้จริง เพราะระบบที่ใช้ยังคงอยู่ภายใต้การควบคุมจากธนาคารและกลุ่มทุนเก่า ในขณะที่ Bitcoin และ Lightning Network ยังคงเป็นแนวทางที่เป็น "Virtual Bank ที่แท้จริง" โดยไม่ต้องพึ่งพาผู้ให้บริการทางการเงินใดๆ และให้ความเสรีภาพในการควบคุมและใช้งานเงินของแต่ละบุคคลอย่างเต็มที่
Bitcoin ไม่เพียงแต่เป็นสื่อกลางในการแลกเปลี่ยน แต่ยังเป็นเครื่องมือในการสร้าง Sovereign Individual ซึ่งสามารถควบคุมเงินและการทำธุรกรรมได้อย่างอิสระจากระบบการเงินที่มีอยู่ในปัจจุบัน
6. Virtual Bank หรือ Virtual Control?
🧠 TL;DR แบบสาย Bitcoiner:
Virtual Bank = inclusion under control Bitcoin = inclusion without permission
เมื่อเราพูดถึง Virtual Banking ในไทย หรือแม้แต่ในหลายประเทศที่กำลังเปิดตัวบริการธนาคารดิจิทัลใหม่ๆ หนึ่งในคำถามสำคัญที่ต้องพิจารณาคือ มันเป็นการสร้างการเข้าถึง (Inclusion) ที่แท้จริงหรือเป็นเพียงการขยายการควบคุมทางการเงินในรูปแบบใหม่? มันอาจเป็นสิ่งที่ดูเหมือนจะเป็นประโยชน์กับประชาชน แต่ในความเป็นจริงแล้วมันอาจจะไม่ได้เป็นการเปลี่ยนแปลงที่แท้จริง
ถ้ามองในแง่ลึก: มันคือ Inclusion ที่ยังอยู่ในโครงสร้างเดิม
คำว่า Financial Inclusion หรือการเข้าถึงบริการทางการเงินสำหรับคนที่ไม่เคยมีบัญชีธนาคารหรือการเข้าถึงสินเชื่อในระบบการเงินดั้งเดิม อาจเป็นหนึ่งในจุดเด่นของ Virtual Bank ที่ถูกโปรโมทให้เห็นจากหลายๆ แคมเปญ
แต่ถ้ามองในมุมลึกๆ จริงๆ แล้ว Virtual Bank อาจจะไม่ได้ช่วย "เปิดโลกใหม่" ให้กับผู้คนที่ไม่มีบัญชีธนาคารเท่านั้น แต่มันยังคงทำงานใน กรอบของระบบการเงินเดิม ที่ถูกควบคุมโดยกลุ่มทุนใหญ่และมีการใช้ข้อมูลพฤติกรรมผู้ใช้ในการประเมินความเสี่ยงในการปล่อยสินเชื่อ ซึ่งในที่สุดแล้วก็ยังคงวนอยู่ในวงจรของระบบเครดิตที่ถูกควบคุมจากองค์กรการเงินเดิม
- การเข้าถึงที่ยังจำกัด: แม้ว่า Virtual Bank จะเปิดโอกาสให้คนที่ไม่มีบัญชีธนาคารสามารถเปิดบัญชีได้ง่ายขึ้น แต่การได้รับสินเชื่อหรือบริการอื่นๆ ก็ยังคงต้องผ่านการอนุมัติจากระบบที่มี ตัวกลาง และ การควบคุม
- ข้อมูลพฤติกรรมผู้ใช้: การใช้ข้อมูลพฤติกรรมผู้ใช้ในการอนุมัติสินเชื่อก็ไม่ได้หมายความว่าจะเปิดโอกาสให้ทุกคนได้รับสินเชื่ออย่างเท่าเทียมกัน โดยเฉพาะกลุ่มที่มีประวัติการเงินไม่สมบูรณ์
ถ้าระบบไม่เปิดเสรีจริง → มันไม่ใช่ “Bank ของประชาชน”
ในมุมมองของ Sovereign Individual หรือผู้ที่ต้องการเสรีภาพทางการเงิน การเข้าถึงบริการของ Virtual Bank ยังคงเป็นการพึ่งพิงจากระบบการเงินที่มีอำนาจควบคุม
- หาก Virtual Bank ไม่สามารถเปิดเสรีในการทำธุรกรรมได้อย่างเต็มที่ หรือยังคงอยู่ภายใต้การควบคุมจาก กลุ่มทุน หรือ ระบบธนาคารเดิม, การมีบัญชีธนาคารในระบบดิจิทัลก็จะไม่ได้สร้างความเปลี่ยนแปลงที่แท้จริงในแง่ของเสรีภาพทางการเงิน
- คำถาม: ถ้าเราไม่สามารถทำธุรกรรมได้อย่างเต็มที่โดยไม่ผ่านตัวกลางหรือการอนุมัติจากใครเลย มันจะเป็น “Bank ของประชาชน” หรือเป็นการ ควบคุมทางการเงิน ในรูปแบบใหม่?
กลุ่มทุนอาจช่วยคนจนได้… แต่ก็คือการสร้างตลาดใหม่ให้กับสินเชื่อ
ถึงแม้ว่า Virtual Bank อาจจะช่วยให้ผู้คนที่ไม่เคยเข้าถึงบริการทางการเงินสามารถเปิดบัญชีได้ง่ายขึ้น หรือได้รับสินเชื่อที่ไม่ต้องพึ่งพาผู้ให้บริการแบบดั้งเดิม, แต่การ ขยายสินเชื่อ ให้กับกลุ่มคนที่มีความเสี่ยงสูง ก็หมายความว่า กลุ่มทุน ยังคงสร้าง ตลาดใหม่ ที่อาจจะมี ความเสี่ยงสูง ที่จะเกิดเป็น หนี้เสีย หรือเป็น หนี้ในระบบ ซึ่งกลุ่มทุนเหล่านี้สามารถเก็บดอกเบี้ยได้จากการปล่อยสินเชื่อ
- การสร้างตลาดใหม่: กลุ่มทุนอาจจะได้ผลประโยชน์จากการเข้าถึงกลุ่มคนที่ไม่เคยมีประวัติการเงิน หรือกลุ่มคนที่มีความเสี่ยงสูง ซึ่งจะเป็นตลาดใหม่ในการปล่อยสินเชื่อที่มีอัตราดอกเบี้ยสูง
- การเสี่ยงหนี้: สำหรับกลุ่มคนที่ยังไม่เคยเป็นหนี้มาก่อน การเข้าถึงสินเชื่อที่ง่ายขึ้นก็อาจจะทำให้เกิดภาระหนี้ที่มากขึ้น ซึ่งส่งผลกระทบต่อสุขภาพการเงินในระยะยาว
สรุป
การที่ Virtual Bank ดูเหมือนจะเปิดโอกาสให้ผู้คนเข้าถึงบริการทางการเงินได้มากขึ้น อาจจะเป็นการเปิดตลาดใหม่ให้กับกลุ่มทุน แต่ยังคงไม่สามารถทำให้เกิดการ เปิดเสรีทางการเงิน อย่างแท้จริง เพราะการควบคุมและการอนุมัติสินเชื่อยังคงอยู่ภายใต้ระบบที่มีอำนาจจากกลุ่มทุนเก่าและไม่ได้ปลดปล่อยเสรีภาพทางการเงินให้กับผู้ใช้ได้อย่างเต็มที่
- Virtual Bank อาจเป็นการช่วยเพิ่มการเข้าถึงบริการทางการเงินสำหรับผู้คนที่เคยถูกระบบดั้งเดิมกีดกัน แต่การขยายตลาดสินเชื่อและการควบคุมข้อมูลยังคงเป็นกลไกที่สามารถสร้างผลประโยชน์ให้กับกลุ่มทุนได้
ในที่สุดแล้ว, Virtual Banking อาจไม่ได้เป็นการ "Bank ของประชาชน" ที่แท้จริง หากระบบยังคงไม่เปิดเสรี และยังอยู่ในโครงสร้างเดิมของการควบคุมทางการเงินที่มาจากกลุ่มทุนใหญ่
🌍 Sovereign Individual: จากธนาคาร → เป็นธนาคารเอง
Bitcoin + Lightning =
“จากการขอใช้ระบบของคนอื่น → เป็นเจ้าของระบบเอง” ไม่ใช่แค่ "Bankless" แต่คือ "Become-your-own-bank"
คุณ run node เองได้ คุณเปิดช่องทาง liquidity เองได้ คุณเก็บเงินเอง ไม่ต้องฝากไว้กับธนาคารใด ๆ คุณจ่ายเงินข้ามโลกภายใน 1 วินาที แบบไม่มีใครอนุมัติ
7. สรุป: Fiat Virtual Bank VS. Bitcoin Virtual Bank
ในที่สุดแล้ว เราจะเห็นว่า Virtual Bank ที่เกิดขึ้นในระบบการเงินของรัฐ และ Bitcoin เป็นสิ่งที่แตกต่างกันอย่างชัดเจน ทั้งในด้านของ ฟังก์ชัน และ วิสัยทัศน์ การเข้าถึงการเงินดิจิทัลทั้งสองรูปแบบนี้ต่างมีผลกระทบที่แตกต่างกันต่อ เสรีภาพทางการเงิน และ ความยั่งยืนของระบบการเงิน ทั่วโลก
ฝั่งหนึ่งคือ "Digital Convenience" ที่ดีขึ้นภายใต้ระบบเดิม
Virtual Bank ภายใต้การควบคุมของรัฐหรือกลุ่มทุนใหญ่ (ธนาคารพาณิชย์, เทเลคอม, หรือเทคโนโลยี) มักจะมุ่งเน้นไปที่ การเพิ่มความสะดวกสบาย ให้กับผู้ใช้ในระบบการเงินเดิม ซึ่งอาจทำให้การเปิดบัญชี, การโอนเงิน, หรือการเข้าถึงสินเชื่อทำได้ง่ายขึ้น
- Digital Convenience: ในทางเทคนิค, การที่ธนาคารเปิดบริการดิจิทัลทำให้การใช้งานสะดวกสบายมากขึ้น ไม่ต้องไปที่สาขาธนาคาร, สามารถทำธุรกรรมได้ทุกที่ผ่านแอปพลิเคชัน
- ระบบเดิม: แต่ในทางกลับกัน, การที่ระบบนี้ยังคงทำงานอยู่ภายใต้ระบบการเงินเดิม เช่น การปล่อยสินเชื่อ, การเก็บดอกเบี้ย, การใช้ข้อมูลพฤติกรรมในการประเมินเครดิต ก็หมายความว่า การควบคุมทางการเงิน ยังอยู่ในมือของกลุ่มทุนและธนาคารเดิม
ระบบนี้ทำให้ผู้ใช้มี ความสะดวกสบาย ในการเข้าถึงบริการ แต่ ไม่ได้สร้างเสรีภาพทางการเงินที่แท้จริง เพราะยังคงต้องพึ่งพาธนาคารและระบบเครดิตที่ควบคุมโดยองค์กรภายนอก
อีกฝั่งคือ "Financial Sovereignty" ที่แท้จริง
ในทางตรงกันข้าม, Bitcoin และ Lightning Network เสนอแนวทางที่ แตกต่างไปอย่างสิ้นเชิง โดยมุ่งเน้นไปที่ ความเป็นอิสระทางการเงิน หรือ Sovereign Individual ซึ่งไม่ต้องพึ่งพาธนาคาร หรือระบบเครดิตที่มีกฎเกณฑ์ซับซ้อน
- Financial Sovereignty: การใช้ Bitcoin ช่วยให้ผู้ใช้สามารถ ควบคุมเงินของตัวเอง ได้เต็มที่ โดยไม่ต้องผ่านตัวกลางหรือการอนุมัติจากธนาคาร
- ไม่มีการสร้างหนี้: ไม่มีการปล่อยสินเชื่อหรือการเก็บดอกเบี้ย ทำให้ไม่เกิดภาระหนี้และการควบคุมทางการเงินจากธนาคาร
การใช้ Bitcoin จึงไม่ใช่แค่การทำธุรกรรมทางการเงิน แต่ยังเป็นการ สร้างเสรีภาพทางการเงิน ซึ่งผู้ใช้สามารถทำธุรกรรมได้จากทุกที่ทุกเวลา โดยไม่ต้องพึ่งพาผู้ให้บริการทางการเงินใดๆ
คำถามสุดท้ายที่ควรถาม:
❝เราต้องการธนาคารที่เข้าถึงง่ายขึ้น… หรือโลกที่ไม่ต้องพึ่งธนาคารเลย?❞
นี่คือคำถามสำคัญที่เราต้องถามตัวเองเมื่อเรามองถึงอนาคตของการเงินดิจิทัล
- ถ้าเราต้องการธนาคารที่เข้าถึงง่ายขึ้น: ระบบ Virtual Banking ที่เปิดให้บริการในปัจจุบันจะตอบโจทย์ได้ เพราะมันช่วยให้ผู้คนสามารถเข้าถึงบริการทางการเงินได้ง่ายขึ้นโดยไม่ต้องไปที่สาขาธนาคาร
- ถ้าเราต้องการเสรีภาพทางการเงิน: Bitcoin และ Lightning Network จะเป็นทางเลือกที่ดีที่สุด เพราะมันให้ ความเป็นเจ้าของเงิน และ เสรีภาพทางการเงิน แก่ผู้ใช้ ไม่ต้องพึ่งพาผู้ให้บริการทางการเงินหรือระบบการเงินเดิมที่มีการควบคุม
ในที่สุดแล้ว คำถามนี้ขึ้นอยู่กับว่าเรา ต้องการอำนาจในการควบคุมทางการเงิน และ เสรีภาพในการจัดการเงินของตัวเอง หรือไม่ และว่า ระบบการเงินปัจจุบัน ตอบโจทย์ความต้องการของเรามากแค่ไหน
สรุป
- Fiat Virtual Bank มุ่งเน้นไปที่การสร้างความสะดวกในการทำธุรกรรมภายในกรอบของระบบการเงินเดิม และยังคง ควบคุม โดยกลุ่มทุนหรือธนาคาร
- Bitcoin & Lightning Network เสนอ เสรีภาพทางการเงิน ที่แท้จริง โดยให้ผู้ใช้ ควบคุมเงินของตัวเอง และทำธุรกรรมโดยไม่ต้องพึ่งพาธนาคารหรือตัวกลาง
สุดท้ายแล้ว, คำถามที่เราต้องถามตัวเองคือ: เราต้องการโลกที่เราไม่ต้องพึ่งธนาคารเลย หรือโลกที่เรามีการเข้าถึงบริการทางการเงินที่สะดวกขึ้นจากธนาคาร?

2025-04-22 14:27:15The motivation behind my newly published book Bitcoindollar the Dawn of American Hegemony in the Digital Era was simple: to answer some of the most pressing and overlooked questions about the future of money. My analysis starts by viewing Bitcoin not in isolation, but as a paradigm shift in the evolution of money—a foundational institution that underpins both economic and societal relationships, from individuals to nations.
Rethinking the Monetary Landscape
To understand Bitcoin's potential, we need to explore the landscape it seeks to disrupt:
-
The dominance of nation-states.
-
The role of the US fiat dollar as the global reserve currency.
-
US debt as the reserve liability (pardon "asset") underpinning the fiat system.
-
The influence of the banking cartel and the distorted incentives built into the fiat monetary structure—especially in the last 55 years, since the US elegantly defaulted on its promise to convert paper dollars into gold in 1971.
Bitcoin is a direct response to these imbalances, but its adoption will depend on how and who drives the transition.
Two Paths of Bitcoin Adoption: Bottom-Up vs. Top-Down
Bitcoin’s journey can take two distinct paths:
1. Bottom-Up Adoption
This is driven by grassroots use of Bitcoin as a currency, particularly in developing nations, often alongside dollar-denominated stablecoins like USDt.
2. Top-Down Adoption
This path sees Bitcoin increasingly used as a store of value (SOV) and financial asset, especially in developed economies. It is driven by institutions, wealth managers, and financial innovation.
It's clear that top-down adoption correlates with faster price appreciation, whereas bottom-up adoption is slower, more organic—and potentially more resilient in the long run.
Why the Top-Down Path Matters
A critical but often uncomfortable truth is: elites don’t give up power easily. The fiat system is held tightly by those benefiting most from its continuation.
Pareto’s Law teaches us that no historical revolution was purely bottom-up. Real change happens when a new elite emerges to replace the old one—carrying the masses along.
The advantages of top-down adoption:
-
Speeds up the revolution.
-
Allows coexistence between Bitcoin and fiat for a transitional period, avoiding violent disruption.
-
Strengthens new power structures around Bitcoin as it becomes a more established SOV.
-
Enables the U.S. to reinvent the dollar’s role through dollar-backed stablecoins and their recycling into US TBills, maintaining global dollar demand even post-Petrodollar.
A Warning for the United States
In my book, I argue that the #Bitcoindollar system gives the U.S. a first-mover advantage—but only if it changes course.
The U.S. must shift from a militaristic, imperialist approach to a cooperative, multipolar model that welcomes both allies and adversaries into this new system.
Unfortunately, the Trump administration appears headed in the opposite direction, risking this historic opportunity. I explore this further in an upcoming article expanding on my book’s conclusions.
Store of Value vs. Currency: Which Comes First?
Some critics lament that Bitcoin isn’t widely used as a currency yet. But ask yourself:
What is the world’s most urgent need in today’s monetary environment?
A medium of exchange? Or a store of value to protect savings from corrupt governments and inflation?
We already have more or less efficient payment systems. But we lack a sound store of value with key properties such as decentralization, censorship resistance and hard coded scarcity. That’s why the market is adopting Bitcoin primarily as a SOV.
Gresham’s Law gives us the formula:
Save the hard money (Bitcoin, gold), spend the USDt, USDC, and fiat.
Looking Ahead: From Store of Value to Currency
This doesn’t mean #bitcoin won’t be used as a currency eventually. Once it’s widely adopted as a store of value—perhaps within the next 10–20 years—its volatility will decrease, more people will price goods in bitcoin, and acceptance for payments will grow.
We will get there. Just not through the path many imagined at the beginning.
Call It What It Is: A Revolutionary Monetary Transition
Rather than a disruptive revolution, think of this as a revolutionary monetary transition—a new system growing alongside the old, until one inevitably replaces the other.

2025-04-22 13:26:12Cashu é Ecash para Bitcoin
Cashu é um sistema ecash Chaumian gratuito e de código aberto criado para Bitcoin. Cashu oferece privacidade quase perfeita para usuários de aplicativos Bitcoin de custódia. Ninguém precisa saber quem você é, quanto dinheiro você tem e com quem você faz transações.
O que é Cashu?
Cashu é um novo protocolo ecash para aplicativos de custódia Bitcoin que está totalmente integrado à rede Lightning. Um sistema Ecash consiste em duas partes, a carteira mint e a carteira ecash. Transações Ecash não rastreáveis, instantâneas e sem taxas. Cashu é construído para Bitcoin. As carteiras usam o nó Lightning da casa da moeda para fazer ou receber pagamentos em Bitcoin em troca de ecash. Uma casa da moeda Cashu não sabe quem você é, qual é o seu saldo ou com quem você está negociando.Os usuários de uma casa da moeda podem trocar ecash de forma privada, sem que ninguém saiba quem são as partes envolvidas. Os pagamentos em Bitcoin são executados sem que ninguém possa censurar usuários específicos.
A postagem de David Wagner em 1996 na lista de discussão Cypherpunk é a base da criptografia Cashu. Wagner descreve um sistema ecash usando troca de chave cega Diffie-Hellman em vez de RSA, na qual a implementação original de David Chaum foi baseada.
https://cypherpunks.venona.com/date/1996/03/msg01848.html
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecash
Como isso começou.
https://void.cat/d/2HJKtTEfuDxmDfh3uH9ZoS.webp https://void.cat/d/XyyHFSQYa5vEswzzt6MMq7.webp
Como vão as coisas.
https://void.cat/d/WUrKzsFDnsvUQdFKZChLeS.webp
Como funciona A Carteira Cashu é através de um esquema criptográfico chamado assinaturas cegas, descrito pela primeira vez pelo cypherpunk e criptógrafo David Chaum. Pense assim:você produz uma mensagem secreta e a envolve em um envelope feito de papel carbono que você envia para a casa da moeda. https://void.cat/d/SbEEHCiGFUHWvk4qGv9xCb.webp
A casa da moeda não pode ver o que está dentro do envelope. Ele assina do lado de fora dizendo "qualquer que seja esse segredo, vale 420 Satoshis”e o envia de volta para você. Como o envelope é realmente criptografado, somente você pode abri-lo e ver sua mensagem secreta (agora assinada por carbono). https://void.cat/d/Pakyb6ztW9B7L5ubAQ74eL.webp
Este segredo assinado é na verdade o seu token Ecash e vale Satoshis.
Você pode enviar e receber esses tokens para qualquer outra pessoa como quiser, seja com um mensageiro, via e-mail ou um pombo. A casa da moeda não sabe nada disso.
A anatomia de um token Cashu. https://void.cat/d/JzvxreMoCitmYe2FthAsei.webp
Um breve passo a passo de uma carteira cashu deixará tudo isso bem claro.
Comece abrindo
https://nutstash.app/
Pressione " WALLET " https://void.cat/d/VeCANsaxkkq9YtoPRS26ZK.webp https://void.cat/d/CTmK9GcPGn3i2gHCVXcL5r.webp https://void.cat/d/UWjyjGLS6MzyZvt6zkuUgG.webp https://void.cat/d/HzNtKanCSAJatrMa9yTKwF.webp
Pressione "+ ADD ".
Agora a carteira cashu está aberta… https://void.cat/d/GAYSrNxHEEhctoW37bFPjJ.webp
O próximo passo é deposite alguns sats com a Casa da moeda.
Pra depositar Pressione o botão "MINT". https://void.cat/d/LC5WEDKAzzZoHXxrKZDiWu.webp
Digite a quantidade de sats a ser depositado na carteira cashu depois Pressione " REQUEST MINT ". https://void.cat/d/Pr6foBWBBCq73i8WggbLGG.webp
Você Pode copiar a fatura ou ler o qrcode , no meu caso usei a carteira LNbits pra pagar a fatura de 10 sats , você tem 10 minutos pra pagar fatura. https://void.cat/d/BQerpEtW2H9ANaoW8truJE.webp https://void.cat/d/8PGFBRW64zavDnQJfYQh9C.webp

O eCash pode ser útil em diversas situações, oferecendo várias vantagens. Uma das principais vantagens do uso de tokens eCash é a privacidade que oferece. Como as transações usando eCash são quase impossíveis de rastrear, isso pode ser útil para quem deseja manter sua atividade financeira privada. O eCash pode ser especialmente útil para Pagamento de serviços em áreas rurais , pode ser difícil acessar serviços financeiros tradicionais, como bancos ou caixas eletrônicos. O uso de tokens eCash pode permitir que as pessoas paguem por serviços como transporte , serviços de saúde ou eletricidade sem a necessidade de viajar para áreas urbanas. No entanto, é importante lembrar que o uso do eCash ainda apresenta riscos e desafios. Como o eCash cashubtc ainda é bem novo , pode haver falhas de segurança ou outras vulnerabilidades que ainda não foram identificadas use com cautela poucos Sats.
Obrigado por ler, e espero que você dedique alguns minutos para experimentar o eCash e ver do que se trata melhor.

@ a39d19ec:3d88f61e
2025-04-22 12:44:42Die Debatte um Migration, Grenzsicherung und Abschiebungen wird in Deutschland meist emotional geführt. Wer fordert, dass illegale Einwanderer abgeschoben werden, sieht sich nicht selten dem Vorwurf des Rassismus ausgesetzt. Doch dieser Vorwurf ist nicht nur sachlich unbegründet, sondern verkehrt die Realität ins Gegenteil: Tatsächlich sind es gerade diejenigen, die hinter jeder Forderung nach Rechtssicherheit eine rassistische Motivation vermuten, die selbst in erster Linie nach Hautfarbe, Herkunft oder Nationalität urteilen.
Das Recht steht über Emotionen
Deutschland ist ein Rechtsstaat. Das bedeutet, dass Regeln nicht nach Bauchgefühl oder politischer Stimmungslage ausgelegt werden können, sondern auf klaren gesetzlichen Grundlagen beruhen müssen. Einer dieser Grundsätze ist in Artikel 16a des Grundgesetzes verankert. Dort heißt es:
„Auf Absatz 1 [Asylrecht] kann sich nicht berufen, wer aus einem Mitgliedstaat der Europäischen Gemeinschaften oder aus einem anderen Drittstaat einreist, in dem die Anwendung des Abkommens über die Rechtsstellung der Flüchtlinge und der Europäischen Menschenrechtskonvention sichergestellt ist.“
Das bedeutet, dass jeder, der über sichere Drittstaaten nach Deutschland einreist, keinen Anspruch auf Asyl hat. Wer dennoch bleibt, hält sich illegal im Land auf und unterliegt den geltenden Regelungen zur Rückführung. Die Forderung nach Abschiebungen ist daher nichts anderes als die Forderung nach der Einhaltung von Recht und Gesetz.
Die Umkehrung des Rassismusbegriffs
Wer einerseits behauptet, dass das deutsche Asyl- und Aufenthaltsrecht strikt durchgesetzt werden soll, und andererseits nicht nach Herkunft oder Hautfarbe unterscheidet, handelt wertneutral. Diejenigen jedoch, die in einer solchen Forderung nach Rechtsstaatlichkeit einen rassistischen Unterton sehen, projizieren ihre eigenen Denkmuster auf andere: Sie unterstellen, dass die Debatte ausschließlich entlang ethnischer, rassistischer oder nationaler Kriterien geführt wird – und genau das ist eine rassistische Denkweise.
Jemand, der illegale Einwanderung kritisiert, tut dies nicht, weil ihn die Herkunft der Menschen interessiert, sondern weil er den Rechtsstaat respektiert. Hingegen erkennt jemand, der hinter dieser Kritik Rassismus wittert, offenbar in erster Linie die „Rasse“ oder Herkunft der betreffenden Personen und reduziert sie darauf.
Finanzielle Belastung statt ideologischer Debatte
Neben der rechtlichen gibt es auch eine ökonomische Komponente. Der deutsche Wohlfahrtsstaat basiert auf einem Solidarprinzip: Die Bürger zahlen in das System ein, um sich gegenseitig in schwierigen Zeiten zu unterstützen. Dieser Wohlstand wurde über Generationen hinweg von denjenigen erarbeitet, die hier seit langem leben. Die Priorität liegt daher darauf, die vorhandenen Mittel zuerst unter denjenigen zu verteilen, die durch Steuern, Sozialabgaben und Arbeit zum Erhalt dieses Systems beitragen – nicht unter denen, die sich durch illegale Einreise und fehlende wirtschaftliche Eigenleistung in das System begeben.
Das ist keine ideologische Frage, sondern eine rein wirtschaftliche Abwägung. Ein Sozialsystem kann nur dann nachhaltig funktionieren, wenn es nicht unbegrenzt belastet wird. Würde Deutschland keine klaren Regeln zur Einwanderung und Abschiebung haben, würde dies unweigerlich zur Überlastung des Sozialstaates führen – mit negativen Konsequenzen für alle.
Sozialpatriotismus
Ein weiterer wichtiger Aspekt ist der Schutz der Arbeitsleistung jener Generationen, die Deutschland nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg mühsam wieder aufgebaut haben. Während oft betont wird, dass die Deutschen moralisch kein Erbe aus der Zeit vor 1945 beanspruchen dürfen – außer der Verantwortung für den Holocaust –, ist es umso bedeutsamer, das neue Erbe nach 1945 zu respektieren, das auf Fleiß, Disziplin und harter Arbeit beruht. Der Wiederaufbau war eine kollektive Leistung deutscher Menschen, deren Früchte nicht bedenkenlos verteilt werden dürfen, sondern vorrangig denjenigen zugutekommen sollten, die dieses Fundament mitgeschaffen oder es über Generationen mitgetragen haben.
Rechtstaatlichkeit ist nicht verhandelbar
Wer sich für eine konsequente Abschiebepraxis ausspricht, tut dies nicht aus rassistischen Motiven, sondern aus Respekt vor der Rechtsstaatlichkeit und den wirtschaftlichen Grundlagen des Landes. Der Vorwurf des Rassismus in diesem Kontext ist daher nicht nur falsch, sondern entlarvt eine selektive Wahrnehmung nach rassistischen Merkmalen bei denjenigen, die ihn erheben.

2025-04-22 12:25:50One of the greatest threats facing liberty lovers around the world today is the rise of the biomedical security state—the militarization of healthcare. COVID-19 was merely a compliance test, and sadly, most failed it dismally. But pay attention: “pandemic response,” war-gamed at elite gatherings like Davos, is steadily morphing into official health policy through backdoor mechanisms—diabolical agreements like the WHO Pandemic Treaty, which effectively transfers sovereign pandemic authority to Bill Gates via the WHO; the rollout of digital IDs; and the global push for central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
This biomedical Leviathan requires all three pillars to be firmly in place before it can unleash a never-ending cycle of pandemics. The goal? To normalize draconian measures like those witnessed in 2020, thereby dismantling not only national sovereignty but, more dangerously, individual sovereignty. A digital ID won't merely confirm your identity—it will track your vaccination status, movements, and even your sentiments, all to determine what privileges you're allowed. Meanwhile, the CBDC will act not just as a means of transaction but as an enforcement mechanism—particularly for dissenters. This is why having an alternative like Bitcoin is not just relevant, but essential.
Vaccines are a cornerstone of this architecture—not only as instruments of control but also as tools for "redesigning" humanity. Welcome to the realm of transhumanism. The merger of man and machine through brain-computer interfaces and artificial intelligence is no longer science fiction; it's a stated goal. In this context, vaccines are not merely preventative medicine but potentially covert instruments of eugenics. This could explain the near-religious devotion to these pharmaceutical products—despite their increasingly controversial outcomes and questionable safety record—especially when mandates enter the equation.
The first piece of property any individual owns upon birth is their body. And yet, this sacred ownership is violated at birth when governments mandate certain injections—often administered without informed parental consent. I've often wondered: Why, despite mounting evidence to the contrary, is vaccine efficacy treated as “settled science”? Why is it taboo to question vaccines or hold their manufacturers accountable for harm, even as we’re expected to believe—without scrutiny—that they are “safe and effective”? We’re told our refusal to comply endangers everyone else who took a product supposedly designed to protect them. Strange, isn’t it? If it’s so effective, why must everyone take it simultaneously?
If you're wondering where this seemingly off-the-cuff rant is headed, here's the point: when the state mandates vaccines, it violates your property rights over your own body. It’s a direct claim of ownership over you, dressed up in moral language like “we're all in this together.” You're guilt-tripped into compliance under the pretense of saving “grandma.” But the truth is, if your rights can be suspended for the collective, they were never yours to begin with.
The biomedical security state will manufacture a permanent state of emergency under the guise of “pandemic preparedness.” You’ll be expected—required, even—to inject yourself with the latest mRNA-based bioweapon, all in the name of public health. Some will die. Others will become incapacitated—zombies or vegetables. The altar of compliance will be merciless towards those that bow before it.
Public health agencies like the CDC, WHO, and NIH are on track to become as powerful as central banks. In fact, they may soon act as arms of monetary policy enforcement. Don’t believe it? Look into what was happening in the repo markets in September 2019—just months before the global shutdown. While you're at it, investigate how many elderly pensioners quietly dropped dead like flies between 2021 and 2023, either from the virus or the vaccine. I’ll let the numbers speak for themselves.
These agencies are becoming the new face of the war machine. Vaccines will be marketed as shields against biological threats—“benevolent” weapons to protect us from invisible enemies. And if history is any guide, the next “9/11-style” event will be biological in nature.
The lunatics running the asylum will seize any such crisis to strip away more of your freedoms while simultaneously redesigning the global economy—consolidating even more power in their hands. For a blueprint of this ambition, look no further than Klaus Schwab’s COVID-19: The Great Reset.
The only antidote is a decentralized parallel system of medicine—one that stands entirely outside the Big Pharma cartel. This will require not only a network of courageous healthcare providers but also a new generation of researchers willing to ask uncomfortable questions and challenge sacred cows in the pursuit of truth. Add independent scientific journals to the mix, and we can finally dismantle the machinery that suppresses unprofitable—but potentially life-saving—treatments.
In my view, none of this is viable at scale without decentralized money. Enter Bitcoin. It’s not a panacea, but it’s a crucial tool for realigning incentives. Bitcoin renders CBDCs dead on arrival and undermines the foundation of any future social credit system—where vaccine compliance will be its crown jewel.
The biomedical state is not coming—it’s already here, creeping into every corner of our lives. It will be the scepter of a new technocratic tyranny. So beware the white coats who worship the state. They are not here to heal—they are here to rule.
A more polished series of articles on this topic is forthcoming. Stay tuned.

2025-04-22 08:40:25In the twilight of forgotten eras, where the whispers of the past wove through the air like a ghostly melody, two shadowy figures emerged beneath an ageless sky. She was Eve, not the emblem of gardens, but the Mitochondrial Eve—her essence pulsing within the very mitochondria that spark life in each human heartbeat. He stood before her as Adam, not forged from soil, but the Y-Chromosome Adam—guardian of a singular lineage, his heritage dancing through the veins of sons alone.
Their encounter was not one of flesh and blood, but a meeting of symbols, sparked by the insatiable curiosity of humanity, prowling through the labyrinth of DNA, seeking to uncover the tales of their primordial roots.
In the ethereal glimmer of a timeless pool, two figures stood, their outlines rippling like whispered secrets. They were neither lovers nor allies, nor of the same age, yet their names danced together in every headline and wisdom-filled book.
Today, however, was different—they had gathered at the brink of the infinite to unravel the threads of their intertwined destinies.
As the twilight draped its ethereal cloak over the meadow, Eve let her fingers dance through the glimmering starlight, weaving dreams from its luminous threads.
“You know,” she mused, her voice a whisper carried by the evening breeze, “they often ponder why fate kept us apart. Why our paths never crossed beneath the same sun.”Adam’s lips curled into a wry smile, his eyes reflecting the cosmos above.
“Perhaps they seek a narrative that is neat and orderly, a story with perfect symmetry,” he replied, the gentle rustle of leaves echoing his words.Eve shook her head softly, her gaze fixed on the swirling constellations.
“Ah, but nature, dear Adam,” she countered with a glimmer of mischief, “is a master of chaos. It delights in the untamed, the beautiful mess of existence.”In the grand tapestry of time, two figures emerged from the mists of ancient Africa:
Mitochondrial Eve, a woman of vibrant spirit, who roamed the earth around 150,000 to 200,000 years ago, and
Y-Chromosome Adam, a man of strength and wisdom, appearing some 60,000 to 100,000 years later.Though separated by a chasm of tens of thousands of years, they were not the sole beings of their era, yet in the intricate web of life, they were the most recent ancestors, bearers of unbroken trails of maternal and paternal lines, from which all humanity flows.
Their stories intertwine, echoing through generations, whispers of a time long past.
In a hushed tone, Eve shared the tale of her lineage, weaving a rich tapestry of time.
“Behold my daughters,” she said, her eyes gleaming with pride. “From them sprang another generation, and those daughters too have borne daughters.This precious thread of life, my mitochondrial DNA, weaves through the tapestry, handed down solely by women.
With each passing age, while many lines faded into shadows—some in mere moments, others enduring for centuries—mine flowed on, a river of continuity and strength.
My legacy, a steadfast whisper across generations, defied the silence of so many others.”In a dimly lit room, Adam pondered the weight of generations past.
“And what of mine?” he inquired, his voice tinged with a mix of curiosity and melancholy.He shook his head slowly, as if unraveling a forgotten tale.
“The Y-chromosome, it weaves a delicate thread through the tapestry of life.
Passed from fathers to sons, a fleeting whisper of legacy, vanishing if a man begets no heirs.Like branches of a grand oak, countless lines have been severed by the cruel hands of war, the relentless march of disease, and the silent grasp of chance.
Mine is not the sole survivor in this timeless struggle, but it is the one that defied extinction—standing resilient against the bottleneck of time, thriving into the present day, a testament to tenacity and fate.”Their inheritance patterns are straightforward but ruthless.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is stable and abundant, making it a powerful marker for tracing maternal lineage.
It mutates slowly, preserving a clear path backward.In contrast, the Y-chromosome, despite its utility in tracing paternal lines, is subject to greater volatility: smaller effective population sizes, male-specific extinction events, and the disproportionate reproductive success of a few males—all contribute to a narrower, more chaotic record.
In a dimly lit chamber nestled among ancient trees, Eve’s voice resonated with the wisdom of ages.
“The numbers are not our destiny,” she declared, her finger tracing a pattern in the soil.
“They are mere echoes of survival, tales of those who dared to pass their legacy—a lineage of children begetting children, weaving a tapestry of existence.”Adam stood by, thoughtful as a storm brewing on a distant horizon.
“Indeed, lineages dissolve like whispers in the wind,” he mused, his gaze fixed on the moonlight filtering through the leaves.
“Some genetic threads endure not from superiority, but sheer fortune. Bottlenecks of fate, the whims of founders, the swirling dance of genetic drift—these unseen forces hold the key to who emerges amidst the chaos of time.”Together, they pondered the intricate dance of life, where luck and survival intertwined, crafting the very fabric of their world.
Eve paused, her voice a whisper woven with time.
“And so it is,” she mused, “the humans trace their lineage back to me, painting me as the primordial bloom of existence.Yet, shadows linger—my cousins, neighbors, even rivals shared this space, vibrant as I, yet their stories faded like whispers in the wind.
They bore no daughters to carry forth their tales, only their echoes lingered, lost in the tapestry of forgotten history…”
In the shadow of an ancient, pulsing tree that mirrored their very essence, Adam mused aloud,
“I came along far down the line, but not right at the start.
I am but one among countless men, and in the end, only my Y-line remained, a solitary thread in the tapestry of time.
Your lineage, however, stretches across continents, vibrant and thriving.”They stood quietly, lost in the vast glow of humanity’s fractal branches, each flicker representing a birth, a connection, a glimmer of possibility.
“Isn’t it amusing?” Adam chuckled, breaking the reverie.
“They pair us as if we were a couple, forever intertwined.”Eve’s laughter echoed like sweet music.
“Merely symbols, nothing deeper. We are called ancestors, yet we are merely the fortunate survivors of an exquisite genetic lottery.”Adam continued,
“And yet, the very essence of your spark resides in every human’s mitochondria, while half of them carry my signature in their Y chromosome.”Eve’s voice was soft as she spoke, weaving a tapestry of understanding.
“Ah, but dear friend, ancestry is far more than mere lineage.
It’s like tracing the delicate threads of a grand tapestry, where some strands are visible, yet countless others lie hidden in the shadows of time.Each soul walking upon this earth is a descendant of a multitude of individuals from ages long past.
Their names may fade like whispers in the wind, and their unique genes become mere echoes of history.
Yet, amidst this beautiful chaos, the patterns of our heritage forever linger, binding us in an unseen embrace of shared existence.”As Adam stood beneath the shimmering canopy of stars, he pondered aloud,
“Maybe the tale isn’t solely ours. It’s about the delicate yet unwavering dance of life itself.”Eve, her eyes reflecting the celestial lights, agreed with a subtle nod.
“Indeed, for no single thread can unveil the entirety of the narrative.
One must gaze upon the grand tapestry woven through time.”They dimmed away, not with finality, but like starlight traversing the vastness of the cosmos—whispers that remind us history bends and weaves, a spider’s web of fate, woven with threads of fortune, affection, and heartache, where beams of hope dance through the dark.
Within each of us, they linger still, a harmonious symphony resonating with the voices of billions, echoing through time.

2025-04-22 08:35:52Hello reader,
I can say from personal experience that crowdfunding has truly changed my life. I found people who believed in my dream of using Bitcoin as money. Every single one of my videos was made possible through crowdfunding. And I’m not alone. I know several Bitcoiners who have raised funds this way, from Africa to Korea to Haiti.
https://images.forbesindia.com/media/images/2022/Jul/img_190501_runwithbitcoin_bg.jpg
Crowdfunding is deeply rooted in the traditional financial world. From raising money for life-saving surgeries to helping someone open a local coffee shop, platforms like GoFundMe, Kickstarter, and Indiegogo have become essential tools for many. But behind all the heartwarming stories and viral campaigns, there’s a side of crowdfunding that doesn’t get talked about enough. Traditional platforms are far from perfect.
They are centralized, which means there’s always someone in control. These platforms can freeze campaigns, delay payouts, or take a significant cut of the money. And often, the people who need funding the most, those without access to strong banking systems or large social media followings are the ones who get left out.
Here are some of the problems I’ve noticed with these platforms:
Problem 1: Inequality in Who Gets Funded
A recent article in The Guardian pointed out something that’s hard to ignore. Crowdfunding often benefits people who already have influence. After the Los Angeles wildfires in January 2025, celebrities like Mandy Moore were able to raise funds quickly. At the same time, everyday people who lost their homes struggled to get noticed.
https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/f8398505e58ec3c04685aab06e94048e5d7b6a0c/0_127_4800_2880/master/4800.jpg?width=1300&dpr=1&s=none&crop=none
Angor (https://angor.io/) changes that by removing the need for a central platform to choose which projects get featured or promoted. Anyone can share their project. People can find them on Angor Hub (https://hub.angor.io/), which is a public directory built on the Nostr protocol. Instead of relying on popularity, projects are highlighted based on transparency and engagement.
Problem 2: Platform Dependence and Middlemen
Here’s something people don’t often realize. When you raise funds online, the platform usually has control. It holds the money, decides when to release it, and can freeze everything without warning. This happened during the trucker protests in Canada in 2022. Tens of millions of dollars were raised, but platforms like GoFundMe and GiveSendGo froze the donations. The funds never reached the people they were meant for. Supporters were left confused, and the recipients had no way to access what had been raised for them.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2d/Convoi_de_la_libert%C3%A9_%C3%A0_Ottawa_01.jpg/800px-Convoi_de_la_libert%C3%A9_%C3%A0_Ottawa_01.jpg
Angor avoids all of this. It does not hold the funds, does not require approval processes, and only the project creator has control over the campaign. Contributions go directly from supporters to the people building the project, using Bitcoin. It is a peer-to-peer system that works without any gatekeepers. Angor never touches the money. It simply provides the tools people need to raise funds and build, while staying fully in control.
Problem 3: Global Access
Another major issue is that these platforms often exclude people based on where they live. If you're in a region with limited banking access or outside the supported list of countries, you’re likely shut out. In 2023, a woman named Samar in Gaza tried to raise funds for food and medical supplies during a crisis. A friend abroad set up a campaign to help, but the platform froze it due to "location-related concerns." The funds were locked, and the support never arrived in time.
https://images.gofundme.com/EMFtPWSLs3P9SewkzwZ4FtaBQSA=/720x405/https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/78478731_1709065237698709_r.jpeg
Angor removes these barriers by using Bitcoin, which works globally without needing banks or approvals. Anyone, anywhere, can raise and receive support directly.
Problem 4: Lack of Transparency
Post-funding transparency is often lacking. Backers rarely get consistent updates, making it difficult to track a project's progress or hold anyone accountable.
In 2015, the Zano drone project on Kickstarter raised over £2.3 million from more than 12,000 backers. It promised a compact, smart drone for aerial photography. But as time went on, updates became rare and vague. Backers had little insight into the project’s struggles, and eventually, it was canceled. The company shut down, and most backers never received their product or a refund.
https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/976/cpsprodpb/2A0A/production/_86626701_ff861eeb-ce94-43b7-9a43-b30b5adbd7ab.jpg
Angor takes a different approach. Project updates are shared through Nostr, a decentralized and tamper-proof communication protocol. This allows backers to follow progress in real time, with no corporate filters and no blackout periods. Everyone stays in the loop, from start to finish.
Problem 5: Fraud and Accountability
Scams are a growing problem in the crowdfunding world. People can launch fake campaigns, collect donations, and vanish — leaving supporters with empty promises and no way to recover their money. One well-known example was the "Homeless Vet GoFundMe scam" in the U.S.
https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2018/09/720/405/1536549443584.jpg
A couple and a homeless man raised over $400,000 by telling a heartwarming story that later turned out to be completely fake. The money was spent on luxury items, and it took a legal investigation to uncover the truth. By the time it was resolved, most of the funds were gone.
This kind of fraud is hard to stop on traditional platforms, because once the funds are transferred, there’s no built-in structure to verify how they’re used.
On Angor, projects are funded in stages, with each step tied to a specific milestone. Bitcoin is held in a shared wallet that only unlocks funds when both the backer and the creator agree that the milestone is complete. If something feels off, backers can choose to stop and recover unspent funds.
This structure discourages scammers from even trying. It adds friction for bad actors, while still giving honest creators the freedom to build trust, deliver value, and raise support transparently. It can’t get any better than this
So, does Angor matter?
For me, it really does. I’m genuinely excited to have my project listed on Angorhub. In a world shaped by AI, open source and transparency light the way forward. Let the work shine on its own.
Have you tried Angor yet? Thanks for tuning in. Catch you next week. Ciao!

2025-04-22 08:12:27ความทรงจำเรานั้นเชื่อได้แน่หรือ ?
"เพราะจิตเราเกิดดับทุกเสี้ยววินาที ทุกความทรงจำจึงสร้างขึ้นมาใหม่เสมอ ดังนั้นมันก็ไม่เหมือนต้นฉบับเป็นธรรมดา แต่ยังคงเค้าโครงเดิมอยู่ ความเปลี่ยนแปลงจึงเป็นนิรันดร์ค่ะ" - Lina Engword
เรามักจะคิดว่าความทรงจำของเราคือการบันทึกเหตุการณ์ในอดีตไว้อย่างแม่นยำ เหมือนการดูวิดีโอ 📼 หรือเปิดไฟล์คอมพิวเตอร์ 💾 แต่ในความเป็นจริงแล้ว แนวคิดนี้อาจไม่ใช่ภาพที่สมบูรณ์ บทความที่เรานำมาวิเคราะห์นี้ได้นำเสนอข้อคิดที่น่าสนใจเกี่ยวกับธรรมชาติของความทรงจำมนุษย์ ความน่าเชื่อถือของมัน และเชื่อมโยงไปถึงความจำเป็นในการฝึกฝนจิตตามหลักพุทธศาสนาเพื่อเข้าถึงความจริงที่เที่ยงแท้ 🧘♀️🔍
ความทรงจำไม่ใช่การบันทึก แต่เป็นการสร้างใหม่ 🏗️🧩
ประเด็นสำคัญที่บทความชี้ให้เห็นคือ ความทรงจำของมนุษย์ไม่ได้ทำงานเหมือนการ "บันทึก" เหตุการณ์ไว้ตายตัว 📼❌ แต่เปรียบเสมือน "ชิ้นส่วนของโค้ด" 💻 ที่จะถูก "สร้างขึ้นใหม่" 🏗️ ทุกครั้งที่เราพยายามระลึกถึง นั่นหมายความว่า ทุกครั้งที่เราดึงความทรงจำเก่าๆ กลับมา มันไม่ใช่การเปิดไฟล์เดิมซ้ำๆ แต่เป็นการประกอบชิ้นส่วนเหล่านั้นขึ้นมาใหม่ในห้วงเวลานั้นๆ กระบวนการนี้เองที่เปิดโอกาสให้เกิดการ "เติมเต็ม" ✨ หรือ "แก้ไข" ✏️ ข้อมูลในความทรงจำอยู่เสมอ ทำให้ความทรงจำที่เราเพิ่งนึกถึงอาจไม่เหมือนกับความทรงจำครั้งก่อนหน้าเสียทีเดียว 🔄
การปรุงแต่งด้วยเหตุผลและความคุ้นเคย 🤔➕🏠
สิ่งที่น่าสนใจอย่างยิ่งคือ ในกระบวนการ "สร้างใหม่" หรือ "ประกอบ" ความทรงจำขึ้นมานี้ มนุษย์มักจะเติม "เหตุผล"💡 หรือใส่สิ่งที่ตนเอง "คุ้นเคย" 🏠 ลงไปในเรื่องราวที่ระลึกได้เสมอ แม้ว่าสิ่งเหล่านั้นอาจจะไม่ได้เกิดขึ้นจริงหรือไม่เกี่ยวข้องโดยตรงกับเหตุการณ์นั้นๆ ก็ตาม ยกตัวอย่างเช่น เมื่อเราเล่าเรื่องในอดีต เรามักจะอธิบายว่าทำไมเราถึงทำสิ่งนั้น หรือทำไมเหตุการณ์นี้ถึงเกิดขึ้น โดยใส่เหตุผลที่เราคิดว่าสมเหตุสมผลในปัจจุบันลงไป สิ่งนี้ทำให้เรื่องราวในความทรงจำของเราดูมีความเชื่อมโยงและฟังดู "จริง" ✅ มากขึ้นในสายตาของเราเอง
เมื่อเราใส่เหตุผลหรือรายละเอียดที่คุ้นเคยลงไปในความทรงจำบ่อยครั้งเข้า มันก็จะยิ่งทำให้เรา "เชื่อ" 👍 โดยสนิทใจว่าสิ่งที่เราระลึกได้นั้นคือความจริงทั้งหมด ทั้งที่ความเป็นจริงของเหตุการณ์ดั้งเดิมอาจแตกต่างออกไป 🤥 นี่คือสาเหตุว่าทำไมคนสองคนจึงอาจมีความทรงจำเกี่ยวกับเหตุการณ์เดียวกันที่แตกต่างกันอย่างสิ้นเชิง ซึ่งปรากฏการณ์นี้สามารถอธิบายได้ดีด้วยตัวอย่างคลาสสิกในภาพยนตร์เรื่อง "ราโชมอน" (Rashomon) 🎬 ที่นำเสนอเหตุการณ์เดียวผ่านมุมมองและความทรงจำของตัวละครที่ขัดแย้งกันอย่างสิ้นเชิง แต่ทุกคนต่างเชื่อในสิ่งที่ตนเองจำได้ว่าเป็นความจริง 🤔❓
เครื่องมือและกระบวนการช่วยตรวจสอบความจริง 📱📹📝🔍
จากข้อจำกัดโดยธรรมชาติของความทรงจำนี้เอง ทำให้เห็นว่าเราไม่สามารถพึ่งพาสิ่งที่ 'จำได้' เพียงอย่างเดียวได้หากต้องการเข้าถึงความจริงที่เที่ยงแท้ เราจึงจำเป็นต้องมี 'กระบวนการตรวจสอบ' 🤔🔍 มาช่วยยืนยันหรือแก้ไขข้อมูลในความทรงจำ
ในยุคปัจจุบัน เรามีเครื่องมือภายนอกมากมายที่ช่วยในกระบวนการนี้ เช่น กล้องจากสมาร์ทโฟน 📱 หรือกล้องวงจรปิด 📹 ที่บันทึกเหตุการณ์ต่างๆ ไว้ได้อย่างเป็นกลาง ทำให้เรามี 'หลักฐาน' 📄 ที่เป็นรูปธรรมไว้อ้างอิงเพื่อเปรียบเทียบกับความทรงจำส่วนตัว ซึ่งบ่อยครั้งสิ่งที่กล้องเห็นนั้น 'ตรงกับความจริง' ✅ ในมุมมองที่ปราศจากอคติมากกว่าสิ่งที่ใจเราจำได้ การจดบันทึกด้วยเสียง 🎤 หรือการจดบันทึกเป็นลายลักษณ์อักษร 📝 ในทันที ก็เป็นอีกวิธีหนึ่งที่ช่วย 'ตรึง' ข้อมูลเบื้องต้นไว้ได้ระดับหนึ่งเช่นกัน ✍️
นอกจากเครื่องมือภายนอกแล้ว 'กระบวนการตรวจสอบเชิงจิตวิทยา' 🤔🧠 ที่เป็นระบบ ก็สามารถช่วยให้มนุษย์ค้นพบความจริงได้เช่นกัน ไม่ว่าจะเป็นกระบวนการซักถามในเชิงนิติวิทยาศาสตร์ 👮♀️ หรือแม้กระทั่งการฝึกฝนจิตเพื่อให้สามารถสังเกตการณ์ทำงานของตนเองได้อย่างละเอียดลึกซึ้ง ซึ่งนำเราไปสู่แนวคิดตามหลักพุทธศาสนา...
ทำไมพุทธศาสนาจึงสอนไม่ให้เชื่อแม้เป็นความคิดตัวเอง? 🙏🧠❌
จากธรรมชาติของความทรงจำและกระบวนการปรุงแต่งของจิตใจที่อธิบายมานี้เอง ทำให้เราเห็นความเชื่อมโยงกับหลักคำสอนในพุทธศาสนา 🙏 ที่เน้นย้ำให้เรา "ไม่เชื่อแม้แต่ความคิดตัวเอง" 🧠❌ อย่างปราศจากการพิจารณา เพราะความคิด อารมณ์ ความทรงจำ หรือแม้แต่ความรู้สึกมั่นใจอย่างแรงกล้าที่เรามีนั้น อาจถูกสร้างขึ้นหรือปรุงแต่งโดยกลไกของจิตใจที่ไม่ได้สะท้อนความจริงทั้งหมด 🤥
พุทธศาสนาชี้ให้เห็นว่า การจะเข้าถึงความจริงที่แท้จริงได้นั้น 🔍 จำเป็นต้องมีกระบวนการตรวจสอบภายในจิตใจ เปรียบเสมือนการสร้าง "อัลกอริทึม" 🤖 เพื่อตรวจทานว่าสิ่งที่เราคิดหรือจำได้นั้นเป็นความจริงหรือไม่ ✅❌ การจะทำเช่นนี้ได้ ไม่ใช่เรื่องง่าย และต้องอาศัยการฝึกฝนจิตอย่าง "สมาธิอย่างมาก" 🧘♂️🧘♀️ เพื่อให้จิตมีความตั้งมั่น เป็นระบบ และสามารถ "เห็นการดำเนินไปของจิตได้อย่างเป็นระบบ" 👀🔬 เห็นว่าจิตปรุงแต่งความทรงจำอย่างไร เห็นว่าเหตุผลที่เราใส่เข้าไปนั้นจริงหรือไม่ เป็นเพียงการตีความ หรือเป็นเพียงสิ่งที่ใจเราอยากให้เป็น
บทความยังกล่าวเสริมว่า ความทรงจำที่ "สด" ✨ หรือใกล้เคียงกับเวลาที่เกิดเหตุการณ์นั้นมักจะมีความน่าเชื่อถือมากกว่า 👍 แม้จะดู "ดิบๆ" หรือไม่ผ่านการปรุงแต่งมากนัก ซึ่งสอดคล้องกับแนวคิดที่ว่ายิ่งระยะเวลาผ่านไปนานเท่าไหร่ ⏳ ยิ่งมีการเรียกคืนความทรงจำนั้นๆ บ่อยครั้ง ความทรงจำก็ยิ่งมีโอกาสถูกแก้ไข เติมเต็ม หรือปรุงแต่งด้วยเหตุผลและความคุ้นเคยมากขึ้นเท่านั้น 🔄✏️
"ใดๆในโลกนั้นคือสมมุติ ความคิดความทรงจำ ก็เป็นสมมุติเพียง แต่เราต้องรู้จักใช้สมมุติให้เป็นประโยชน์ และรู้จักใช้มันให้เป็นเพื่อดำรงอยู่บนโลก"
สรุป ✨🧠🔍
โดยสรุปแล้ว บทความนี้เตือนใจเราว่า ความทรงจำของเราไม่ใช่กล้องวิดีโอที่บันทึกทุกอย่างไว้แม่นยำ 📼❌ แต่เป็นกระบวนการสร้างสรรค์ที่ซับซ้อนซึ่งมีแนวโน้มที่จะถูกปรุงแต่งด้วยเหตุผล ความคุ้นเคย และการตีความของเราเอง 🏗️🤔🏠 ความมั่นใจที่เรามีต่อสิ่งที่จำได้นั้น ไม่ได้เป็นหลักประกันว่าเป็นความจริงเสมอไป 👍🤥
การตระหนักถึงธรรมชาติข้อนี้ของจิต และการใช้เครื่องมือภายนอก 📱📹📝 รวมถึงการฝึกฝนจิตให้สามารถสังเกตการณ์ทำงานของมันได้อย่างละเอียดรอบคอบตามหลักพุทธศาสนา 🙏🧘♀️ จึงเป็นกุญแจสำคัญที่จะช่วยให้เราสามารถแยกแยะระหว่าง "ความจริง" ✅ กับ "สิ่งที่จิตปรุงแต่งขึ้น" 🤥 ได้มากขึ้น และช่วยให้เราเข้าใกล้ความเข้าใจในธรรมชาติของสรรพสิ่งได้อย่างเที่ยงตรง ไม่หลงติดอยู่ในวังวนของความทรงจำและความคิดที่อาจบิดเบือนไปจากความเป็นจริง 🔄

Use a tea bag to hold the spices. I like to fill it and drape it on the side of the pan so the flavors get in, and then toss it before serving. Easier than picking rosemary out of your teeth later.

2025-04-22 07:54:51“คณิตศาสตร์” กุญแจเวทมนตร์ นักพนัน และ นักลงทุน ในนครเฮรันเทล นามกระฉ่อนเลื่องลือในหมู่นักเสี่ยงโชค เมื่อเอ่ยถึง “การพนัน” ภาพที่ชาวเมืองมักนึกถึงคือ “ยาจกข้างถนน”
มิใช่เรื่องแปลกประหลาดอันใด เพราะเป็นที่ร่ำลือกันว่า จ้าวแห่งหอคอยรัตติกาล ผู้คุมบ่อนพนัน มักร่ายเวทมนตร์สร้างเกมให้ตนเองได้เปรียบ เพื่อดูดกลืนเงินทองของผู้มาเยือน ดังนั้น การที่สามัญชนจะพิชิตเกมในระยะยาว จึงเป็นดั่งเงามายาที่จับต้องมิได้ กระนั้น ยังมีตำนานกล่าวขานถึงผู้กล้า ที่สามารถสร้างชื่อจาก “เกมพนัน” เช่น เวเนสซา รุสโซ นักเวทย์มนตร์ผู้ใช้กฎหมายแห่งแดนไกล ใช้เวลายาวนานถึงหกปี ร่ายเวทย์สะสมทรัพย์สินกว่าร้อยล้านเหรียญทอง จากการเล่นเกมไพ่ศักดิ์สิทธิ์ “โป๊กเกอร์” หรือแม้แต่ เอ็ดเวิร์ด โอ. ทอร์ป จอมปราชญ์ผู้สร้างกำไรถึงสามแสนหกหมื่นเหรียญทอง ภายในเจ็ดราตรี จากการเล่นเกมไพ่มนตรา “แบล็กแจ็ก” ด้วยเงินทุนตั้งต้นเพียงสามแสนสามหมื่นเหรียญทอง คิดเป็นอัตราเวทย์ตอบแทนร้อยสิบส่วน! เหล่าจอมยุทธ์เหล่านี้ มิได้อาศัยเพียงโชคช่วยชั่วครั้งชั่วคราวแล้วเลือนหาย แต่พวกเขากลับสามารถร่ายเวทย์สร้างผลตอบแทนระยะยาว จนเรียกได้ว่า ใช้ “หอคอยรัตติกาล” เป็นแหล่งเสบียงเลี้ยงชีพ โดยกุญแจเวทย์ที่บุคคลเหล่านี้ใช้ ก็คือ “คณิตศาสตร์” เหตุใด “คณิตศาสตร์” จึงช่วยให้ผู้คนเอาชนะ “การพนัน” ได้? และนอกจาก “การพนัน” แล้ว “คณิตศาสตร์” ยังสามารถประยุกต์ใช้กับสิ่งใดได้อีก? นักเล่าเรื่องแห่งเฮรันเทล จักไขปริศนาให้ฟัง เบื้องต้น ขอให้ท่านลองพิจารณาตนเอง ว่าเคยประสบพบพานเหตุการณ์เหล่านี้หรือไม่: * ตั้งมั่นว่า จักเสี่ยงโชคให้ได้กำไรเพียงเล็กน้อย แล้วจักหยุดพัก * แต่หากพลาดท่าเสียที จักจำกัดการสูญเสียให้เท่าทุนเดิมที่ตั้งไว้ * ครั้นเมื่อเวทมนตร์เข้าข้าง ได้กำไรมาแล้ว กลับโลภโมโทสัน อยากได้เพิ่มอีกนิด จึงร่ายเวทย์ต่อ * ทว่ากำไรเริ่มร่อยหรอ จนเหลือเพียงทุนเดิม สุดท้ายทุนที่ตั้งไว้คราแรกก็มลายสิ้น * จำต้องหาเงินทองมาลงเพิ่ม หวังทวงทุนคืน และพบว่าต้องสูญเสียเงินก้อนนั้นไปในห้วงเวลาต่อมา ลำดับเหตุการณ์ดังกล่าว เรียกได้ว่าเป็น “วงจรอุบาทว์” สำหรับนักพนันมากมายในเฮรันเทล ปริศนาที่ตามมาก็คือ เหตุใด “วงจรอุบาทว์” นี้จึงเกิดขึ้นซ้ำแล้วซ้ำเล่า? ส่วนหนึ่ง ย่อมเป็นเพราะอารมณ์อันแปรปรวนในการเสี่ยงโชคของแต่ละคน แต่อีกส่วนที่สำคัญยิ่งกว่า ต้องกล่าวว่าเป็นผลจาก “กลไกต้องสาป” ของจ้าวแห่งหอคอยรัตติกาล ซึ่งต้องกล่าวว่า เหล่าเจ้าของหอคอยรัตติกาลนั้น จักใช้หลักการทำนองเดียวกับ “สมาคมพ่อค้าผู้พิทักษ์” คือจักเก็บเงินทองจากชนจำนวนมาก เพื่อนำมาจ่ายให้กับชนเพียงหยิบมือ เพื่อล่อลวงให้ชนทั้งหลายเสี่ยงโชคต่อไป หรือทำให้เหล่านักพนันหวังว่า จักเป็นผู้โชคดีเฉกเช่นพวกเขาบ้าง แม้จะมีผู้โชคดีที่สามารถได้กำไรในเบื้องต้น แต่ในบั้นปลายก็จักพ่ายแพ้อยู่ดี ซึ่งเป็นไปตาม “กฎแห่งจำนวนมหาศาล” เพราะจ้าวแห่งหอคอยรัตติกาลนั้น ได้คำนวณและออกแบบระบบเกมที่ตนเองได้เปรียบในระยะยาวแล้ว จากตำนานนี้ ย่อมประจักษ์ชัดว่า แม้การพนันจักเป็นเรื่องของดวงชะตา แต่ก็ถูกรังสรรค์ขึ้นจากการคำนวณทางคณิตศาสตร์ ดังนั้น หากปรารถนาจะหาหนทางเอาชนะจ้าวแห่งหอคอยรัตติกาล ก็จำต้องเข้าใจ “คณิตศาสตร์” เสียก่อน ทีนี้ จงเงี่ยหูฟัง แล้วท่านจักได้ยินข้าไขปริศนา: ๑. ปริศนาแห่ง “กำไรคาดหวัง” สำหรับการแสวงหา “เกมเสี่ยงทาย” ที่ควรค่าแก่การเล่น หรือการเสี่ยง สิ่งแรกที่นักพนันพึงกระทำคือ “การประเมินกำไรคาดหวัง” หรือ “เวทคำนวณอนาคต” “กำไรคาดหวัง” ถูกคิดค้นโดย คริสเตียน ฮอยเกนส์ นักปราชญ์เวทย์ชาวดัตช์ เพื่อประเมินว่าเกมพนันแบบใดควรค่าแก่การเล่น ซึ่งมิใช่เพียงแค่การประเมินโอกาสแห่งชัยชนะเท่านั้น แต่ต้องคิดรวมขนาดของเงินเดิมพันไปด้วย โดยสูตรเวทย์คือ: กำไรคาดหวัง = (เงินที่ได้ x โอกาสชนะ) + (เงินที่เสีย x โอกาสแพ้) ดังนั้น หากปรารถนาจะสะสม “ทองคำมายา” ในระยะยาว จงเลือกเกมที่มี “กำไรคาดหวัง” เป็นบวก แต่หากพลาดพลั้งเข้าไปเล่นเกมที่ “กำไรคาดหวัง” เป็นลบ และบังเอิญว่าโชคชะตาเล่นตลกให้ได้เงินทองมาครอง พึงละทิ้งเกมนั้นเสียโดยพลัน เพราะท้ายที่สุดหากยังคงเล่นต่อไป ผู้อับโชคผู้นั้นก็คือตัวท่านเอง อย่างไรก็ตาม โดยธรรมดาแล้ว “กำไรคาดหวัง” ของเกมพนันที่มีเจ้ามือมักจักติดลบ จึงเป็นเรื่องยากยิ่งที่จะเอาชนะได้ เฉกเช่นตัวอย่างที่เราเห็น คือเกมในบ่อนพนัน หรือแม้แต่ “สลากกินแบ่งรัฐบาล” ก็ล้วนเป็นเกมที่มี “กำไรคาดหวัง” ติดลบทั้งสิ้น นอกจาก “กำไรคาดหวัง” จักถูกใช้กับการพนันได้แล้ว หลักเวทย์ “คณิตศาสตร์” ก็ยังสามารถประยุกต์ใช้กับการลงทุนได้ไม่แตกต่างกัน ตัวอย่างเช่น หากท่านเก็บสถิติข้อมูลการลงทุนของตนเอง แล้วพบว่ามีเพียงสามสิบส่วนร้อยเท่านั้น ที่ท่านซื้อ “ศิลาแห่งโชค” แล้วสร้างผลตอบแทนเป็นบวก แต่ท่านยังคงปรารถนาความสำเร็จในการลงทุน ก็จงจำกัดการขาดทุนแต่ละคราให้น้อยเข้าไว้ เช่น -๕% และปล่อยให้มีกำไรในแต่ละคราที่ลงทุน เช่น อย่างน้อย ๒๐% ซึ่งจากการใช้กลยุทธ์นี้ ท่านจักมี “กำไรคาดหวัง” = (๒๐% x ๐.๓) + (-๕% x ๐.๗) = ๒.๕% จักเห็นได้ว่า แม้ท่านจักมีจำนวนคราที่ขาดทุนบ่อยครั้ง แต่ก็ยังสามารถสร้างกำไรได้ หากคราที่กำไรนั้น สามารถทำเงินทองเป็นจำนวนมากได้ ๒. ปริศนาแห่ง “การบริหารหน้าตัก” หรือ “การบริหารเงินทุน” แม้ว่าท่านจักรับรู้ “กำไรคาดหวัง” แล้ว แต่หากท่านเผชิญหน้ากับการขาดทุนต่อเนื่องกัน ท่านก็อาจหมดเนื้อหมดตัวก่อนถึงคราที่จะกอบโกยเงินทองจากคราที่กำไร วิธีคลายปมปริศนานี้ก็คือ การมิลงเงินทองทั้งหมดของท่านในการลงทุนเพียงคราเดียว ซึ่งนอกจากการกระจายความเสี่ยงในการลงทุนหลาย “ศิลาแห่งโชค” หรือหลาย “เกมเสี่ยงทาย” แล้ว ท่านอาจกำหนดขนาดของการลงทุนแต่ละคราให้มิมากเกินไป แบบง่าย ๆ เช่น มิเกิน ๑๐% ของเงินลงทุนทั้งหมด หรือท่านอาจคำนวณขนาดของการลงทุนแต่ละคราด้วยสูตรทางคณิตศาสตร์ เช่น สูตร “การขาดทุนสูงสุดที่ท่านรับได้ (Value at Risk)” หรือ สูตร “ขนาดเดิมพันที่เหมาะสม (Kelly Formula)” ๓. ปริศนาแห่ง “อคติ” ในวงการพนัน มักมีอคติหนึ่งที่บังเกิดบ่อยครั้งกับผู้คน คือ “Gambler's Fallacy” หรือ “ความเชื่อผิด ๆ แห่งนักพนัน” ว่าหากเหตุการณ์หนึ่งบังเกิดบ่อยครั้งกว่าปรกติในช่วงเวลาหนึ่ง ๆ เหตุการณ์นั้นจักบังเกิดบ่อยครั้งน้อยลงในอนาคต ทั้ง ๆ ที่เหตุการณ์เหล่านั้นเป็นอิสระจากกันในทางสถิติ ยกตัวอย่างเช่น หากโยนเหรียญมนตราออกหัวไปแล้วสามครา ในคราที่สี่ หลายคนอาจคิดว่าโอกาสออกก้อยมากกว่าหัว แม้ว่าการโยนเหรียญแต่ละคราจะมิได้ส่งผลอันใดต่อกันเลย (จะโยนกี่ครา โอกาสหัวหรือก้อย ก็คือ ๕๐:๕๐ อยู่ยั่งยืน) หรือแม้กระทั่ง “สลากกินแบ่งรัฐบาล” มีหลายคนที่ซื้อเลขซ้ำกัน เพื่อหวังว่าจะถูกในงวดต่อ ๆ ไป ในวงการการลงทุน ก็มีลักษณะที่คล้ายคลึงกัน เช่น หาก “ศิลาแห่งโชค A” ราคาตกต่ำลงมาห้าครา บางคนอาจคิดว่าในคราที่หก ราคาของมันจักต้องเด้งขึ้นมา ซึ่งในความเป็นจริง หาได้เป็นเช่นนั้นเสมอไป จักเห็นได้ว่า แท้จริงแล้ว ไม่ว่าจักเป็น “เกมเสี่ยงทายแห่งโชคชะตา” หรือ “การผจญภัยในตลาดทุน” หากท่านมีความเข้าใจ และนำ “คณิตศาสตร์” เข้ามาเป็นรากฐาน มันก็อาจนำพาตัวท่านเอง ไปสู่จุดที่ได้เปรียบในเกมนั้น ได้เฉกเช่นกัน.. สูตรเวทย์มนตร์ที่ปรากฏในตำนาน: * กำไรคาดหวัง = (เงินที่ได้ x โอกาสชนะ) + (เงินที่เสีย x โอกาสแพ้) คำเตือนจากนักเล่าเรื่องแห่งเฮรันเทล: "พึงระลึกไว้เสมอว่า โชคชะตาเป็นสิ่งที่คาดเดาได้ยาก แม้เวทมนตร์คณิตศาสตร์จักช่วยนำทาง แต่ท้ายที่สุดแล้ว ความสำเร็จยังคงขึ้นอยู่กับการตัดสินใจและสติปัญญาของท่านเอง"
หวังว่าตำนานบทนี้จักเป็นประโยชน์แก่ท่านนะคะ

2025-04-22 07:47:07In 1997, an IBM supercomputer beat the sport’s greatest mind. Deep Blue II became the first machine to defeat a chess world champion — Garry Kasparov. Humans would never win at chess again.
But if computers have been better than us for so long, why do we still play chess? Don’t we always play to win?
Well, even though we’re unlikely to record a victory over the machines, chess has become more popular than ever. According to a June 2023 PBS feature, subscriptions to chess clubs have soared and earlier this year chess.com servers overloaded due to a the highest number of active users ever.
This is not just a fad based on The Queen’s Gambit (a 2020 Netflix adaptation). Over 100m people have registered on chess.com since then, and books, YouTube channels and other content is flourishing. A Grandmaster recently visited the city in Spain where I live, and thousands of people came to watch her play.
Here’s my theory behind the recent revival of chess. The answer to why we still play is what’s behind the game of chess — strategy and spatial recognition.
It’s a system of training ourselves to appreciate cause and consequence, to improve our decision making. The best players train against computers, knowing they can’t win, but they can learn.
The same is true with today’s writing landscape. Professionals are panicking that machines will produce most of the content we’ll read from now on. Writing will change — that’s true. AI can write faster and more (grammatically) accurately.
But what’s behind writing? 🧠 Patterns of structured thought 🗣️ Sound rhetoric 🖊️ The creativity of language 📚 The beauty of stories.
Writing is a skill that we still need to train.
If we don’t, how will we know what makes our words effective? How will we communicate? How will we make sense of our past?
We can use AI to help, but the words it processes belong to us.
Just as we have recognised the importance of the concepts behind chess, we must do the same for the process of writing.

2025-04-22 07:28:03Kaiser: Es fehlt an Geld, nun gut, so schaff es denn,
Mephisto: Ich schaffe, was ihr wollt, und schaffe mehr;
Zwar ist es leicht, doch ist das Leichte schwer;
Es liegt schon da, doch um es zu erlangen, das ist die Kunst.
(Goethe: Faust II)
Liebe Abonnenten,
die meisten Medien sind nach wie vor damit beschäftigt, wie sie Trump am eindrücklichsten Wahnsinn unterstellen können. Sie vergessen dabei, worum es eigentlich geht: Ein Drittel aller amerikanischen Staatsschulden müssen dieses Jahr refinanziert werden. Sonst ist das mächtigste Land der Welt demnächst Pleite. Dafür müssen die Doppel-Defizite ausgeglichen, oder zumindest gesenkt werden. Und vor allem müssen die Zinsen runter. Die amerikanische Zentralbank wird den Wünschen der Regierung bald nachkommen, sprich die Zinsen senken und über ein neues Quantitative-Easing-Programm die Geldmenge erhöhen. Ein paar Jahre später werden die Effekte im Alltag über Inflation sichtbar.
Die Wahrscheinlichkeit ist hoch, dass wir bald Zeuge eines raffinierten Geld-Recycling-Programms werden. Wir treffen dabei auf einen alten Bekannten, den Stablecoin-Anbieter Tether. Der Essay ist keine leichte Kost, aber wer dabei bleibt, gelangt tief in die wundersame Welt der Geldvermehrung.
Mitte März wagt Paolo Ardoino den Schritt. Der Tether-CEO fliegt von der Hauptstadt El Salvadors nach New York. Es ist die erste Reise in die USA des erst 41-Jährigen seit Jahren. Zu hoch war bisher das Risiko gewesen, dort von den Behörden festgenommen zu werden. Vier Jahre zuvor war das Milliarden-Unternehmen, das er leitet, noch einmal davon gekommen: 2021 war Tether von der amerikanischen Börsenaufsicht mit einer Strafe von 41 Millionen US-Dollar belegt wegen ungenauer Angaben zu seinen Reserven. Man hatte sich schließlich auf einen Vergleich in Höhe von 18 Millionen Dollar geeinigt. Ein Witz, hatten Kritiker des Unternehmens entgegnet. Schließlich, so die Vorwürfe, ging es um Milliarden-Betrug. Seitdem hatten die Tether-Bosse die Vereinigten Staaten aus Vorsicht gemieden. Man war mal in Hongkong, auf den Bahamas und den Bermuda-Inseln, bis man sich Anfang des Jahres offiziell im Bitcoin-freundlichen El Salvador niedergelassen hatte. Doch mit der neuen US-Administration ist alles anders.
Nach New York geladen hat die Firma Cantor Fitzgerald. Thema des Gesprächs: Die Schaffung eines exklusiven Stablecoins für den amerikanischen Markt. Cantor Fitzgerald ist nicht irgendeine Bank oder Unternehmen. Das 1945 gegründete Investmenthaus ist einer von 24 Primärhändlern, die von der Federal Reserve Bank of New York autorisiert sind, US-Staatsanleihen zu handeln. Damit spielen sie eine zentrale Rolle im Finanzsystem der USA, da sie die Liquidität und Effizienz des Marktes für Staatsanleihen sicherstellen, dem wichtigsten und liquidisten Markt der Welt.
Langjähriger CEO von Cantor Fitzgerald war Howard Lutnick, ein Milliardär und seit Jahren enger Vertrauter der Trump-Familie. Da Lutnick mittlerweile US-Handelsminister ist, dürfte Ardoino nicht nur das Ok von ganz oben bekommen haben, in die Vereinigten Staaten einreisen zu dürfen. Man wird ihm wohl auch einen roten Teppich ausgerollt haben. Der Grund:
Die USA haben aktuell ein Problem mit ihrer Verschuldung. (BlingBling hat das in den Essays Die nächsten 90 Tage und Der Mar-a-Largo-Accord beschrieben). Rund ein Drittel des gesamten Schuldenbergs der USA müssen dieses Jahr refinanziert werden. Dafür müssen die Zinsen runter. Deswegen will Trump unbedingt das Handelsdefizit ausgleichen. Deswegen wird über die Neubewertung der Goldreserven nachgedacht. Und deswegen wird vermutlich bald eine neue Liquiditätswelle die Kurse von Bitcoin und Co auf neue Höchststände treiben. Denn bisher haben Staaten in solchen Phasen immer auf Geldentwertung gesetzt, um sich aus der Schuldenfalle zu befreien. Anders als Privatpersonen und viele kleinere Staaten können die USA immerhin die Währung selbst drucken, in der sie verschuldet sind. Die amerikanische Staatsverschuldung ist das Endgame. Und im Endgame spielt Tether mittlerweile eine ziemlich wichtige Rolle. Der Stablecoin-Anbieter hält mit 113 Milliarden aktuell mehr US-Staatsanleihen als Deutschland. Tendenz steigend: Ende 2024 war Tether mit 31 Milliarden der siebtgrößte Käufer von amerikanischen Staatsschulden.
Wie kann ein obskures Unternehmen, mit nicht einmal 100 Mitarbeitern, im vergangenen Jahr 13 Milliarden Dollar Gewinn machen, und zu einem der wichtigsten Kunden des amerikanischen Staats werden?

2025-04-22 06:57:36Es fühlt sich wie ein Staatsstreich an. Vielleicht ist es auch einer. Ein abgewählter Bundestag genehmigt mittels Grundgesetzänderung die größte Staatsverschuldung in der Geschichte Deutschlands mit der unvorstellbaren Summe von 1000 Milliarden Euro, also eine Billion.
https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/vom-schuldenstaatsstreich-zur-finanzdiktatur-von-rob-kenius?\ Jedem muss klar sein, wohin diese Gelder aus den Taschen der Steuerzahler wandern und wer, wenn in Rüstung, Militärhilfen, Konzern-Subventionen investiert wird, die Leidtragenden sind: Kinder, Rentner, kleine Firmen und Betriebe, sozial Schwache, Kranke, Arbeitslose, Obdachlose.

2025-04-22 06:43:30It is noteworthy to mention that Bill Gates, a distinguished co-founder of Microsoft and a philanthropist with extensive impact on global health and education initiatives, serves as a limited partner in various investment vehicles associated with Village Global. However, it is critical to delineate the nuances of this relationship, as Gates' status as a limited partner does not confer upon him any authoritative control or decision-making power regarding the operational protocols or strategic direction of SimpleX Chat.
The development team behind SimpleX Chat has made a concerted effort to clarify that Village Global's involvement is strictly financial in nature, devoid of any operational oversight or influence over the management and technical development of the project.
Privacy Without Compromise
SimpleX Chat aims to provide a messenger that is both convenient and private, addressing the perceived trade-off between these two qualities in existing solutions. They define privacy as protecting not only message content but also metadata like connection details and user identities.
In contrast to a multitude of contemporary messaging applications, SimpleX Chat distinctly emphasizes the safeguarding of metadata privacy as a foundational component of its architecture.
The development team articulates a compelling argument regarding the intrinsic value of communication relationships, suggesting that the identification of interlocutors constitutes sensitive data that may be weaponized against users in various contexts—an issue that current market leaders in the domain have failed to remedy with sufficient rigor.
Consequently, the developers are actively engaged in initiatives to bolster the obfuscation of users’ IP addresses, thereby enhancing the overall security framework against potential surveillance and data exploitation threats.
A Radical Architectural Shift
The architecture underpinning SimpleX Chat diverges notably from conventional paradigms associated with user account management.
Specifically, it eschews the creation and maintenance of user profiles in the traditional sense, thereby negating the repository of personally identifiable information on centralized servers. Instead, all pertinent data transactions pertinent to user interactions are localized, existing solely on the end-user's devices.
This paradigm shift engenders a formidable barrier to data accessibility, effectively neutralizing the potential for data disclosure to law enforcement agencies, irrespective of judicial mandates such as court warrants.
Furthermore, in their adherence to statutory obligations, SimpleX Chat's design ethos proactively prioritizes the minimization of data collection, establishing a privacy-centric framework that aptly aligns with contemporary concerns regarding data sovereignty and user anonymity.
Functionality Grounded in Security
The SimpleX Chat application exemplifies a multi-device compatibility framework, strategically prioritizing stringent security protocols over user convenience.
This methodology distinctly contrasts with that of various competitors who may opt for convenience-focused functionalities that inadvertently jeopardize user data integrity and confidentiality.
The current technical architecture facilitates seamless profile transfers across devices, while also enabling a desktop terminal interface that remains operationally tethered to the mobile device.
Such an arrangement underscores SimpleX Chat's commitment to balancing usability with robust security measures, effectively mitigating potential vulnerabilities in cross-platform interactions.
Transient Messaging and Signal Protocol Reimagined
SimpleX Chat integrates the functionality of transient messaging, which serves primarily as a user convenience element rather than representing a robust security mechanism.
The developers have explicitly articulated that they are unable to ensure the irreversible deletion of messages from the recipient's device, thereby highlighting potential vulnerabilities associated with data retention and privacy concerns in digital communications.
The development team arrived at a strategic decision to forgo the utilization of the existing Signal codebase, primarily attributed to its inherent complexity and the prospective risks associated with the coupling dynamics that could emerge between the Signal protocol and its corresponding system architecture.
As a result, they opted to engineer the Signal protocol anew, commencing from foundational coding principles.
This approach not only enables them to exert comprehensive control over the implementation but also significantly facilitates the seamless integration of advanced cryptographic frameworks, specifically post-quantum key agreement methodologies, which are imperative in future-proofing cryptographic communications against the advent of quantum computing threats.
UX Development and the Road Ahead
The UI is still under development. The developers acknowledge some usability challenges, especially for users unfamiliar with the concept of profile-based messaging without traditional accounts.
They are actively working on improving UX based on user feedback.
A Decentralized Economic Model
SimpleX Chat is poised to introduce an innovative commercial framework predicated on the integration of a decentralized accounting mechanism, characterized by the utilization of distributed ledger technology, which underpins cryptocurrency transactions, coupled with a system reminiscent of traditional gift card paradigms.
This commercial model is strategically designed to provide economic incentives to both infrastructure operators, who maintain the necessary backbone for the network's operations, and software vendors, who contribute essential applications and services—all while preserving the fundamental decentralized architecture inherent to blockchain systems.
This careful balance is crucial for fostering a sustainable ecosystem that rewards participants without compromising the network's core principles of transparency and egalitarian access.

2025-04-22 05:38:24The Quiet Hold (2020)
As 2020 dawned, Jonathan kept his Bitcoin purchase a secret. He didn’t tell his parents, or his coworkers—not even his best friend, Sam. He wasn’t in it for hype. He believed in the tech.
Then came March 2020. The pandemic hit. Markets crashed. Panic spread.
Bitcoin dropped below $4,000.
Jonathan’s hands trembled as he stared at the red numbers on his screen. But instead of selling, he doubled down. He scraped together another $1,000 and bought the dip.
Weeks turned into months. People lost jobs, businesses closed, and the economy floundered. But Bitcoin began recovering—slowly at first, then with growing momentum By December, it hit $29,000.
Jonathan’s half Bitcoin? Worth over $14,000.
He smiled for the first time in weeks.

2025-04-22 05:30:03CHAPTER NINE
"I hope you all see that I keep my promises," Mark announced confidently, raising his glass as the Ray family members murmured among themselves. "Another gift for the family, and all I ask in return is Rita’s hand. It’s a simple trade, isn’t it?"
It was the Ray family fun weekend, and Mark had once again positioned himself as their savior. He had been invited, and as expected, he made sure to make his presence known. The Ray family wasn’t happy that the new president had canceled the investment plans, which were against their initial arrangements. They had pinned their hopes on Mark, and once again, he didn’t disappoint.
At the end of the evening, Mark handed over another generous gift of cash, sealing his influence within the family. "You all know what needs to be done," he continued, flashing a smug smile. "Rita divorces James, and I’ll continue to help the family business thrive."
The murmurs grew louder. The push for divorce within the Ray family gained momentum, and James could feel the weight of humiliation pressing down on him once again. Yet, amidst the pressure and manipulation, Rita remained firm.
"I’m not divorcing James," she declared, her voice unwavering despite the glares she received from her own family. "Not now, not ever."
A heavy silence fell over the room, but James knew this was far from over.
"You! Throw him out!" Mark barked, pointing a commanding finger at James as he entered the gathering. The Ray family fun night was in full swing, and Mark, feeling emboldened by the power he had secured within the family, was eager to humiliate James once and for all.
The private guard, a broad-shouldered man dressed in a sleek black uniform, stepped forward. But as soon as his gaze met James’s, his stern expression softened. He hesitated, his posture shifting from aggression to submission. Then, to the shock of everyone present, he bent slightly at the waist and uttered a quiet but firm apology.
"I’m sorry, sir. I cannot do that," the guard said, his voice steady yet respectful.
Mark’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What? Are you insane? I said, throw him out!” he roared, his face twisting in fury.
The guard, still standing between Mark and James, clenched his fists at his sides. “I work part-time at JP Company. I know who this man is. I cannot lay a hand on him.”
A murmur rippled through the room. Helen, Christopher, and the rest of the Ray family exchanged puzzled glances. Why would a mere security guard refuse an order so boldly? What did he mean by knowing James?
Mark’s frustration boiled over. He took a threatening step forward. “Then you’re fired! Get out!” he spat, his voice thick with rage.
The guard stood his ground, his eyes flicking briefly to James, who remained calm, his expression unreadable. With a respectful nod to James, the guard turned on his heel and exited, his departure leaving an unsettling silence in his wake.
Helen, unable to contain her curiosity, leaned toward Christopher. “What just happened? Why would he refuse Mark’s order? What does he know about James that we don’t?”
Christopher shook his head, his brow furrowed in confusion. “I have no idea. But that was not just any ordinary security guard. He spoke as if James was someone important.”
Susan, who had been quietly observing the scene, finally spoke. “Could it be that James has some hidden power we don’t know about?”
Helen scoffed. “Ridiculous! That beggar? He’s nothing but a burden!” But despite her words, an uneasy feeling settled in her stomach.
Mark, still seething, turned his glare to James. “Enjoy this moment, you wretch. Soon, you’ll have nowhere left to run.” He stormed out, leaving a tense and confused silence behind.
James remained where he was, his calm demeanor never wavering. He had stood his ground without even speaking a word, and yet, the Ray family’s perception of him was beginning to shift. There were too many unanswered questions. Why did a security guard from JP Company recognize him? Why did he refuse to act against him? And most importantly who was James, really?.
"We can't let this business week slip through our fingers," Helen muttered anxiously, pacing back and forth in the living room. "Christopher, Robert, one of you must represent Ray Enterprises. We need to secure more investments."
Christopher sighed, rubbing his temples. "Helen, we are aware of how important this meeting is. But are you sure you should attend with me? You know these investors expect to meet actual executives."
"I have every right to be there," Helen snapped. "The future of this family business is at stake! If you won't do it, I'll step in to make sure we don't lose more ground."
Meanwhile, across the city, James stepped into the most luxurious boutique, scanning the racks of high-end suits. The store clerk eyed him skeptically, unimpressed by his simple attire. "Sir, are you sure you’re in the right place?" the clerk asked with a forced smile.
James smirked. "Yes. Get me the best suit you have."
After a long selection process, he emerged wearing a custom-tailored suit worth a fortune, making even the store owner widen his eyes in disbelief. James checked his reflection in the mirror, adjusting his cuffs. "Perfect," he murmured.
The day of the business meeting arrived, and the grand hall was filled with top executives, investors, and company representatives from across the city. The chatter in the hall buzzed with anticipation as they awaited the arrival of JP Enterprises' new president.
Helen sat rigidly beside Christopher, her fingers tapping nervously on the table. "I wonder who JP Enterprises will send. Their investments have been making waves lately," she whispered.
Before Christopher could respond, a hush fell over the crowd. The doors swung open, and the awaited president stepped in, his presence commanding immediate attention.

"ทองไม่ใช่แค่ Safe Haven แต่ตอนนี้คือทางหนี" นักลงทุนเริ่มขยับพอร์ตหนีจากตลาดหุ้น เข้าทองและคริปโต → ระวังแรงกระเพื่อมรอบดึก (โดยเฉพาะจากฝั่งสหรัฐฯ)

2025-04-22 02:53:41Unlike traditional online databases, Nostr relays do not gather mass amounts of information like giant, corporate owned servers. Nor do they function like the smaller, yet segregated servers that many other social protocols have been designed to incorporate. Information on the Nostr network is spread across thousands of relays, and organized in multiple ways. These relays are run by individuals, organizations & companies alike. They vary in size, capacity, content, user numbers, and geographical location. While most Nostr notes (and other stuff) are spread across multiple relays, this also makes the searching for specific things a little different than "googling" a term. Looking for different things, like searching for a person vs a specific term, is best achieved by using different tools. Decentralization of the data also means decentralization of the ways that we engage with it. None of this is difficult, its just different.
People Search:
Searching for person on Nostr is super simple, and you have multiple approaches that you can use. Many clients offer profile search directly within their interface. You can search by name, NIP-05 identifier, and npub or any of its various formats. When searching by name, it is good practice to visit the user's profile and verify that it is the account that you are looking for to avoid being duped by a scammer or copycat.
If your preferred client offers precision relay controls, you can connect to a relay that specializes in indexing user profiles for better results. These relays host the pertinent information housed in your nprofile, which makes it possible for users to find each other's notes.
If your favorite Nostr client doesn't have an in-app search feature, or you are simply not finding satisfactory results, tools like npub.world offer powerful, independent profile searches. Utilizing AI and indexing similar to Pagerank to sift out scammers, spammers, and bots, you are sure to find the npub you are seeking. These services may be incorporated within some clients that leverage the interoperability of Nostr.
Note Search:
For when you want to look up something that you have already seen, there are a ton of note search tools that all offer different functionality. Some allow to search by author and time frame, others search by event ID (which also goes by many names, i.e. note ID, Nostr link, naddr, nevent). All of these search tools vary in performance, based on whatever criteria they use to search, along with what relays they are able to access. Its up to you to decide which will work best for your purposes.
A couple of my favorite examples:
https://nosey.vercel.app/
https://advancednostrsearch.vercel.app/
Term Search:
Term search is best achieved within a client that allows for fine-grained relay controls. Connecting to a general search relay will open up wider swathes of the network for searching than your usual read/write relays can enable. These search relays will use various methods, like crawling and indexing, to gather as much data as possible that may apply to your search. Returns are sometimes a wild list of results that may include profile bios, note content, lists, and other types of events. Oddly enough, search quickly becomes discovery and you may find interesting and unexpected things, in addition to the information you were looking to find.
Relay Search:
All this talk about specialized relays for searching but where do you find them? Relay search tools exist just for that. In addition to the many curated lists of suggested relays, like this, you can also use relay search to find the relays you want to try. Results about a relay may include location, uptime, user numbers and more.
https://nostr.watch/ is an author favorite.
Paid Search Services:
Nostr clients built on a traditional business structure may include upgraded search options as part of their paid services. If your favorite client offers a subscription services, consider upgrading to support their business while enhancing your own experience.
Dude, Where's My Note?:
Sometimes things will get lost, a relay will go down, or your client just can't find it. For times like this, there are tools to search by event ID across the network to figure out where your note are being stored. These tools also come in handy for verifying redundancy or trying to reign in your reach:

@ 1c19eb1a:e22fb0bc
2025-04-22 01:36:33After my first major review of Primal on Android, we're going to go a very different direction for this next review. Primal is your standard "Twitter clone" type of kind 1 note client, now branching into long-form. They also have a team of developers working on making it one of the best clients to fill that use-case. By contrast, this review will not be focusing on any client at all. Not even an "other stuff" client.
Instead, we will be reviewing a very useful tool created and maintained by nostr:npub1w4uswmv6lu9yel005l3qgheysmr7tk9uvwluddznju3nuxalevvs2d0jr5 called #Amber. For those unfamiliar with Amber, it is an #Android application dedicated to managing your signing keys, and allowing you to log into various #Nostr applications without having to paste in your private key, better known as your #nsec. It is not recommended to paste your nsec into various applications because they each represent another means by which it could be compromised, and anyone who has your nsec can post as you. On Nostr, your #npub is your identity, and your signature using your private key is considered absolute proof that any given note, reaction, follow update, or profile change was authorized by the rightful owner of that identity.
It happens less often these days, but early on, when the only way to try out a new client was by inputting your nsec, users had their nsec compromised from time to time, or they would suspect that their key may have been compromised. When this occurs, there is no way to recover your account, or set a new private key, deprecating the previous one. The only thing you can do is start over from scratch, letting everyone know that your key has been compromised and to follow you on your new npub.
If you use Amber to log into other Nostr apps, you significantly reduce the likelihood that your private key will be compromised, because only one application has access to it, and all other applications reach out to Amber to sign any events. This isn't quite as secure as storing your private key on a separate device that isn't connected to the internet whatsoever, like many of us have grown accustomed to with securing our #Bitcoin, but then again, an online persona isn't nearly as important to secure for most of us as our entire life savings.
Amber is the first application of its kind for managing your Nostr keys on a mobile device. nostr:npub1w4uswmv6lu9yel005l3qgheysmr7tk9uvwluddznju3nuxalevvs2d0jr5 didn't merely develop the application, but literally created the specification for accomplishing external signing on Android which can be found in NIP-55. Unfortunately, Amber is only available for Android. A signer application for iOS is in the works from nostr:npub1yaul8k059377u9lsu67de7y637w4jtgeuwcmh5n7788l6xnlnrgs3tvjmf, but is not ready for use at this time. There is also a new mobile signer app for Android and iOS called Nowser, but I have not yet had a chance to try this app out. From a cursory look at the Android version, it is indeed in the very early stages of development and cannot be compared with Amber.
This review of Amber is current as of version 3.2.5.
Overall Impression
Score: 4.7 / 5 (Updated 4/21/2025)
I cannot speak highly enough about Amber as a tool that every Nostr user on Android should start using if they are not already. When the day comes that we have more options for well-developed signer apps on mobile, my opinion may very well change, but until then Amber is what we have available to us. Even so, it is an incredibly well thought-out and reliable tool for securing your nsec.
Despite being the only well-established Android signer available for Android, Amber can be compared with other external signing methods available on other platforms. Even with more competition in this arena, though, Amber still holds up incredibly well. If you are signing into web applications on a desktop, I still would recommend using a browser extension like #Alby or #Nos2x, as the experience is usually faster, more seamless, and far more web apps support this signing method (NIP-07) than currently support the two methods employed by Amber. Nevertheless that gap is definitely narrowing.
A running list I created of applications that support login and signing with Amber can be found here: Nostr Clients with External Signer Support
I have run into relatively few bugs in my extensive use of Amber for all of my mobile signing needs. Occasionally the application crashes when trying to send it a signing request from a couple of applications, but I would not be surprised if this is no fault of Amber at all, and rather the fault of those specific apps, since it works flawlessly with the vast majority of apps that support either NIP-55 or NIP-46 login.
I also believe that mobile is the ideal platform to use for this type of application. First, because most people use Nostr clients on their phone more than on a desktop. There are, of course, exceptions to that, but in general we spend more time on our phones when interacting online. New users are also more likely to be introduced to Nostr by a friend having them download a Nostr client on their phone than on a PC, and that can be a prime opportunity to introduce the new user to protecting their private key. Finally, I agree with the following assessment from nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn.
nostr:nevent1qqsw0r6gzn05xg67h5q2xkplwsuzedjxw9lf7ntrxjl8ajm350fcyugprfmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68yurvv438xtnrdaksyg9hyaxj3clfswlhyrd5kjsj5v04clhjvgeq6pwztmysfzdvn93gev7awu9v
The one downside to Amber is that it will be quite foreign for new users. That is partially unavoidable with Nostr, since folks are not accustomed to public/private key cryptography in general, let alone using a private key to log into websites or social media apps. However, the initial signup process is a bit cumbersome if Amber is being used as the means of initially generating a key pair. I think some of this could be foregone at start-up in favor of streamlining onboarding, and then encourage the user to back-up their private key at a later time.
Features
Amber has some features that may surprise you, outside of just storing your private key and signing requests from your favorite Nostr clients. It is a full key management application, supporting multiple accounts, various backup methods, and even the ability to authorize other users to access a Nostr profile you control.
Android Signing
This is the signing method where Amber really shines in both speed and ease of use. Any Android application that supports this standard, and even some progressive web-apps that can be installed to your Android's home-screen, can very quickly and seamlessly connect with Amber to authorize anything that you need signed with your nsec. All you have to do is select "Login with Amber" in clients like #Amethyst or #0xChat and the app will reach out to Amber for all signing requests from there on out. If you had previously signed into the app with your nsec, you will first need to log out, then choose the option to use Amber when you log back in.
This is a massive deal, because everything you do on Nostr requires a signature from your private key. Log in? Needs a signature. Post a "GM" note? Needs a signature. Follow someone who zapped your note? Needs a signature. Zap them back? You guessed it; needs a signature. When you paste your private key into an application, it will automatically sign a lot of these actions without you ever being asked for approval, but you will quickly realize just how many things the client is doing on your behalf when Amber is asking you to approve them each time.
Now, this can also get quite annoying after a while. I recommend using the setting that allows Amber to automatically sign for basic functions, which will cut down on some of the authorization spam. Once you have been asked to authorize the same type of action a few times, you can also toggle the option to automatically authorize that action in the future. Don't worry, though, you have full control to require Amber to ask you for permission again if you want to be alerted each time, and this toggle is specific to each application, so it's not a blanket approval for all Nostr clients you connect with.
This method of signing is just as fast as signing via browser extension on web clients, which users may be more accustomed to. Everything is happening locally on the device, so it can be very snappy and secure.
Nostr Connect/Bunker Signing
This next method of signing has a bit of a delay, because it is using a Nostr relay to send encrypted information back and forth between the app the user is interacting with and Amber to obtain signatures remotely. It isn't a significant delay most of the time, but it is just enough to be noticeable.
Also, unlike the previous signing method that would automatically switch to Amber as the active application when a signing request is sent, this method only sends you a notification that you must be watching for. This can lead to situations where you are wondering why something isn't working in a client you signed into remotely, because it is waiting on you to authorize the action and you didn't notice the notification from Amber. As you use the application, you get used to the need to check for such authorization requests from time to time, or when something isn't working as expected.
By default, Amber will use relay.nsec.app to communicate with whichever Nostr app you are connecting to. You can set a different relay for this purpose, if you like, though not just any relay will support the event kinds that Amber uses for remote signing. You can even run your own relay just for your own signing purposes. In fact, the creator of Amber has a relay application you can run on your phone, called Citrine, that can be used for signing with any web app you are using locally on your phone. This is definitely more of an advanced option, but it is there for you if you want it. For most users, sticking with relay.nsec.app will be just fine, especially since the contents of the events sent back and forth for signing are all encrypted.
Something many users may not realize is that this remote signing feature allows for issuing signing permissions to team members. For instance, if anyone ever joined me in writing reviews, I could issue them a connection string from Amber, and limit their permissions to just posting long-form draft events. Anything else they tried to do would require my explicit approval each time. Moreover, I could revoke those permissions if I ever felt they were being abused, without the need to start over with a whole new npub. Of course, this requires that your phone is online whenever a team member is trying to sign using the connection string you issued, and it requires you pay attention to your notifications so you can approve or reject requests you have not set to auto-approve. However, this is probably only useful for small teams, and larger businesses will want to find a more robust solution for managing access to their npub, such as Keycast from nostr:npub1zuuajd7u3sx8xu92yav9jwxpr839cs0kc3q6t56vd5u9q033xmhsk6c2uc.
The method for establishing a connection between Amber and a Nostr app for remote signing can vary for each app. Most, at minimum, will support obtaining a connection string from Amber that starts with "bunker://" and pasting it in at the time of login. Then you just need to approve the connection request from Amber and the client will log you in and send any subsequent signing requests to Amber using the same connection string.
Some clients will also offer the option to scan a QR code to connect the client to Amber. This is quite convenient, but just remember that this also means the client is setting which relay will be used for communication between the two. Clients with this option will also have a connection string you can copy and paste into Amber to achieve the same purpose. For instance, you may need this option if you are trying to connect to an app on your phone and therefore can't scan the QR code using Amber on the same phone.
Multiple Accounts
Amber does not lock you into using it with only a single set of keys. You can add all of your Nostr "accounts" to Amber and use it for signing events for each independently. Of course, Nostr doesn't actually have "accounts" in the traditional sense. Your identity is simply your key-pair, and Amber stores and accesses each private key as needed.
When first signing in using native Android signing as described above, Amber will default to whichever account was most recently selected, but you can switch to the account that is needed before approving the request. After initial login, Amber will automatically detect the account that the signing request is for.
Key Backup & Restore
Amber allows multiple ways to back up your private key. As most users would expect, you can get your standard nsec and copy/paste it to a password manager, but you can also obtain your private key as a list of mnemonic seed words, an encrypted version of your key called an ncryptsec, or even a QR code of your nsec or ncryptsec.
Additionally, in order to gain access to this information, Amber requires you to enter your device's PIN or use biometric authentication. This isn't cold-storage level protection for your private key by any means, especially since your phone is an internet connected device and does not store your key within a secure element, but it is about as secure as you can ask for while having your key accessible for signing Nostr events.
Tor Support
While Amber does not have Tor support within the app itself, it does support connecting to Tor through Orbot. This would be used with remote signing so that Amber would not connect directly over clearnet to the relay used for communication with the Nostr app requesting the signature. Instead, Amber would connect through Tor, so the relay would not see your IP address. This means you can utilize the remote signing option without compromising your anonymity.
Additional Security
Amber allows the user the option to require either biometric or PIN authentication before approving signing requests. This can provide that extra bit of assurance that no one will be able to sign events using your private key if they happen to gain access to your phone. The PIN you set in Amber is also independent from the PIN to unlock your device, allowing for separation of access.
Can My Grandma Use It?
Score: 4.6 / 5 (Updated 4/21/2025)
At the end of the day, Amber is a tool for those who have some concept of the importance of protecting their private key by not pasting it into every Nostr client that comes along. This concept in itself is not terribly approachable to an average person. They are used to just plugging their password into every service they use, and even worse, they usually have the same password for everything so they can more readily remember it. The idea that they should never enter their "Nostr password" into any Nostr application would never occur to them unless someone first explained how cryptography works related to public/private key pairs.
That said, I think there can be some improvements made to how users are introduced to these concepts, and that a signer application like Amber might be ideal for the job. Considering Amber as a new user's first touch-point with Nostr, I think it holds up well, but could be somewhat streamlined.
Upon opening the app, the user is prompted to either use their existing private key or "Create a new Nostr account." This is straightforward enough. "Account" is not a technically correct term with Nostr, but it is a term that new users would be familiar with and understand the basic concept.
The next screen announces that the account is ready, and presents the user with their public key, explaining that it is "a sort of username" that will allow others to find them on Nostr. While it is good to explain this to the user, it is unnecessary information at this point. This screen also prompts the user to set a nickname and set a password to encrypt their private key. Since the backup options also allow the user to set this password, I think this step could be pushed to a later time. This screen would better serve the new user if it simply prompted them to set a nickname and short bio that could be saved to a few default relays.
Of course, Amber is currently prompting for a password to be set up-front because the next screen requires the new user to download a "backup kit" in order to continue. While I do believe it is a good idea to encourage the creation of a backup, it is not crucial to do so immediately upon creation of a new npub that has nothing at stake if the private key is lost. This is something the UI could remind the user to do at a later time, reducing the friction of profile creation, and expediting getting them into the action.
Outside of these minor onboarding friction points, I think Amber does a great job of explaining to the user the purpose of each of its features, all within the app and without any need to reference external documentation. As long as the user understands the basic concept that their private key is being stored by Amber in order to sign requests from other Nostr apps, so they don't have to be given the private key, Amber is very good about explaining the rest without getting too far into the technical weeds.
The most glaring usability issue with Amber is that it isn't available in the Play Store. Average users expect to be able to find applications they can trust in their mobile device's default app store. There is a valid argument to be made that they are incorrect in this assumption, but that doesn't change the fact that this is the assumption most people make. They believe that applications in the Play Store are "safe" and that anything they can't install through the Play Store is suspect. The prompts that the Android operating system requires the user to approve when installing "unknown apps" certainly doesn't help with this impression.
Now, I absolutely love the Zapstore from nostr:npub1wf4pufsucer5va8g9p0rj5dnhvfeh6d8w0g6eayaep5dhps6rsgs43dgh9, but it doesn't do much to alleviate this issue. Users will still need to be convinced that it is safe to install the Zapstore from the GitHub repo, and then install Amber from there. Furthermore, this adds yet another step to the onboarding process.
Instead of:
- Install Amber
- Set up your keys
- Install the client you want to use
- Log in with Amber
The process becomes:
- Go to the Zapstore GitHub and download the latest version from the releases page.
- Install the APK you downloaded, allowing any prompt to install unknown apps.
- Open Zapstore and install Amber, allowing any prompt to install unknown apps again.
- Open Amber and set up your keys.
- Install the client you want to use
- Log in with Amber
An application as important as Amber for protecting users' private keys should be as readily available to the new user as possible. New users are the ones most prone to making mistakes that could compromise their private keys. Amber should be available to them in the Play Store.
UPDATE: As of version 3.2.8 released on 4/21/2025, the onboarding flow for Amber has been greatly improved! Now, when selecting to set up a new "account" the user is informed on the very next screen, "Your Nostr account is ready!" and given their public key/npub. The only field the user must fill in is their "nickname"/display name and hit "Continue."
From there the user is asked if they want Amber to automatically approve basic actions, or manually approve each app, and then they are shown a new Applications screen, with a prompt to create a backup of their account. This prompt persists until the user has done so.
As you can see, the user is also encouraged to find applications that can be used with Amber with links to nostrapps.com and the Zapstore.
Thanks to these updates, Amber is now the smoothest and most user-friendly onboarding experience I have seen for Nostr to date. Sure, it doesn't have anything for setting up a profile picture or lightning address, but that is better done in a client like Amethyst or YakiHonne, anyway. Just tap "create," type in a handle to call yourself, and you're done!
How do UI Look?
Score: 4.5 / 5
Amber's UI can be described as clean but utilitarian. But then, Amber is a tool, so this is somewhat expected. It is not an app you will be spending a lot of time in, so the UI just needs to be serviceable. I would say it accomplishes this and then some. UI elements are generally easy to understand what they do, and page headings fill in the gaps where that is not the case.
I am not the biggest fan of the color-scheme, particularly in light-mode, but it is not bad in dark-mode at all, and Amber follows whatever theme you have set for your device in that respect. Additionally, the color choice does make sense given the application's name.
It must also be taken into consideration that Amber is almost entirely the product of a single developer's work. He has done a great job producing an app that is not only useful, but pleasant to interact with. The same cannot be said for most utility apps I have previously used, with interfaces that clearly made good design the lowest priority. While Amber's UI may not be the most beautiful Nostr app I have seen, design was clearly not an afterthought, either, and it is appreciated.
Relay Management
Score: 4.9 / 5
Even though Amber is not a Nostr client, where users can browse notes from their favorite npubs, it still relies heavily on relays for some of its features. Primarily, it uses relays for communicating with other Nostr apps for remote signing requests. However, it also uses relays to fetch profile data, so that each private key you add to Amber will automatically load your chosen username and profile picture.
In the relay settings, users can choose which relays are being used to fetch profile data, and which relays will be used by default when creating new remote signing connection strings.
The user can also see which relays are currently connected to Amber and even look at the information that has been passed back and forth on each of those active relays. This information about actively connected relays is not only available within the application, but also in the notification that Amber has to keep in your device's notification tray in order to continue to operate in the background while you are using other apps.
Optionality is the name of the game when it comes to how Amber handles relay selection. The user can just stick with the default signing relay, use their own relay as the default, or even use a different relay for each Nostr application that they connect to for remote signing. Amber gives the user an incredible amount of flexibility in this regard.
In addition to all of this, because not all relays accept the event types needed for remote signing, when you add a relay address to Amber, it automatically tests that relay to see if it will work. This alone can be a massive time saver, so users aren't trying to use relays that don't support remote signing and wondering why they can't log into noStrudel with the connection string they got from Amber.
The only way I could see relay management being improved would be some means of giving the user relay recommendations, in case they want to use a relay other than relay.nsec.app, but they aren't sure which other relays will accept remote signing events. That said, most users who want to use a different relay for signing remote events will likely be using their own, in which case recommendations aren't needed.
Current Users' Questions
The AskNostr hashtag can be a good indication of the pain points that other users are currently having with any Nostr application. Here are some of the most common questions submitted about Amber in the last two months.
nostr:nevent1qqsfrdr68fafgcvl8dgnhm9hxpsjxuks78afxhu8yewhtyf3d7mkg9gpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgq3qkgh77xxt7hhtt4u528hecnx69rhagla8jj3tclgyf9wvkxa6dc0sxp0e6m
This is a good example of Amber working correctly, but the app the user is trying to log into not working. In my experience with #Olas in particular, it sometimes allows remote signer login, and sometimes doesn't. Amber will receive the signing request and I will approve it, but Olas remains on the login screen.
If Amber is receiving the signing requests, and you are approving them, the fault is likely with the application you are trying to log into.
That's it. That's all the repeated questions I could find. Oh, there were a few one-off questions where relay.nsec.app wouldn't connect, or where the user's out-of-date web browser was the issue. Outside of that, though, there were no common questions about how to use Amber, and that is a testament to Amber's ease of use all on its own.
Wrap Up
If you are on Android and you are not already using Amber to protect your nsec, please do yourself a favor and get it installed. It's not at all complicated to set up, and it will make trying out all the latest Nostr clients a safe and pleasant experience.
If you are a client developer and you have not added support for NIP-55 or NIP-46, do your users the courtesy of respecting the sanctity of their private keys. Even developers who have no intention of compromising their users' keys can inadvertently do so. Make that eventuality impossible by adding support for NIP-55 and NIP-46 signing.
Finally, I apologize for the extended time it took me to get this review finished. The time I have available is scarce, Nostr is distracting, and nostr:npub1w4uswmv6lu9yel005l3qgheysmr7tk9uvwluddznju3nuxalevvs2d0jr5 kept improving Amber even as I was putting it through its paces over the last two months. Keep shipping, my friend! You have made one of the most useful tools we have seen for Nostr to date!
Now... What should I review next?

2025-04-22 01:29:16"There are two pillars in Costa Rica, education and coffee." A tourist guide I met told me this, and during the trip I discovered the strong link between coffee and the locals.
In fact, coffee runs very deeply in the Ticos' culture. So deep that the summer vacations from school (November to January) coincide with the coffee collection season. Children had to help their parents with the coffee. Coffee was a family business.
Monteverde, in the region of Puentarenas, is one of those places where coffee ha always been a corner stone of the society. Here, My gf and I went to visit a coffee plantation and discovered how coffee is made.
Monteverde
Monteverde is a well-known turistic location in the central part of Costa Rica. Many people reach this beautiful place to visit the famous Cloud Rainforest, acres and acres of pristine forest, with many different kind of animals and plants living in it.
However, other than tourism is coffee that pushes the economy of this place. The hills around the town are covered with coffee plantations and there are tours than try to explain how coffee is made.
Coffee Tours
While we were in Monteverde, we joined one of these tours. We decided to give credit to a smaller plantation instead of the super turistic ones. A more rustic and family-owned business, El Pueblo Coffee Tour. We were not disappointed. We had the show all to ourselves, a super-prepared guide and all the time to make questions and enjoy with no rush.
The Plant of Coffee
Since Costa Rica is a quite small country, to compete on the market producers decided to bet on quality instead of quantity. That's why, the only type produced here is the Arabica.
Before the coffee bean, the plant produces a nice white flower, similar to the jasmine.
After a while, the coffee beans appear.
As soon as they turn red, they are ready to be collected.
Interesting fact: between the coffee plants many fruit trees like mangos or bananos can be found. In fact, those plants help keep the soil fertile and healthy, thus leading to a higher coffee quality!
Coffee Harvesting
Coffee is still harvested by hand. Beans do not get mature at the same time, so manual labor is needed. Laborer use a very simple tool to collect coffee, one which allow them to have both hands free.
Workers do not get paid by hours, but by the number of cajuelas that they can fill. A cajuela is a standard box, which contains around 13kg of beans. It's divided into quarters, so that the worker can get paid for the quarter, too.
Each cajuela is paid around 3.50$.
Coffee Drying
In the farm we visited, drying was perfomed naturally, through the heat of the sun. There are three ways in which the bean is left to dry: lavado, miel and naturàl.
- Lavado: The beans are peeled and washed to remove the jelly.
- Miel: The jelly on the beans is maintained to give it more sweet flavour.
- Naturàl: The bean is left to dry with its peel on, to give it a more fruity taste.
Back in the days, to peel the beans for the lavado and the miel variety, the pìlon was used. The bean is very hard, thus this tool does not damage it.
However, today the peeling procedure is done using a machine.
Coffee Roasting
The last step in the production of coffee is roasting. Coffee is put inside a sort of hoven, and is left there at high temperature according to the level of roasting that is needed. The more roasting, the less caffeine there is and the more bitter the coffee. Usually you have light, medium and dark roast.
Coffee Tasting
In the end, we also had a coffee tasting. We tried different roasting and different varieties.
Our guide explained us the best way to taste coffee and helped us defining the different flavours that we perceived. He also taught us the best way to prepare it: infusion time, water temperature, coffe makers and so on.
My favorite one was the dark one, while my gf enjoyed the light roast more. Of course, we bought some packs of these varieties!
Thanks for tuning in!
I hope you enjoyed this brief overview of the Costa Rican coffee.

2025-04-22 01:16:17ก่อนที่จะมูฟออนจากเทคนิคการสร้าง เรามาดูเรื่องสำคัญครับ
วันที่ไม่มีวัว แต่มีเวย์โปรตีน – เบื้องหลังเทคโนโลยีที่เปลี่ยนถังหมักให้กลายเป็นเต้านมวัว เคยมีคำถามไหมว่า “เวย์โปรตีน” ที่กินตอนออกกำลังกาย หรือโยเกิร์ตถ้วยโปรดที่ซื้อมาจากร้านใกล้บ้าน มันยังมาจากนมวัวอยู่ไหม? ถ้าคำตอบคือ “ไม่” แล้วมันมาจากไหน?
ยินดีต้อนรับสู่โลกของ Perfect Day บริษัทที่บอกว่า "เราสร้างเวย์โปรตีนได้ โดยไม่ต้องใช้วัวเลยแม้แต่นิดเดียว” ฟังดูเหมือนมายากล แต่นี่คือวิทยาศาสตร์ขั้นสูงที่ผูกสูตรไว้กับ DNA, จุลินทรีย์ และการหมักอย่างแยบยล
ขั้นตอนที่ 1: หารหัสโปรตีนจากแม่วัว เริ่มต้นจากคำถามง่าย ๆ ว่า “โปรตีนเวย์ที่อยู่ในน้ำนมวัว คืออะไร?” คำตอบคือ เบต้า-แลคโตโกลบูลิน (Beta-lactoglobulin) ซึ่งเป็นโปรตีนหลักในเวย์ประมาณ 50-55% โดยในธรรมชาติ วัวจะสร้างโปรตีนนี้จาก รหัสพันธุกรรมใน DNA ของมัน Perfect Day จึงไปค้นหา ลำดับเบส (DNA sequence) ของโปรตีนนี้จากฐานข้อมูลวิทยาศาสตร์ชื่อ UniProt (Universal Protein Resource) ซึ่งเก็บรหัสโปรตีนของสิ่งมีชีวิตแทบทุกชนิดไว้ครบถ้วน ได้รหัสมาแล้ว ก็เตรียมเข้าสู่ภารกิจ “หลอกจุลินทรีย์ให้สร้างโปรตีนแทนวัว”
ขั้นตอนที่ 2: สร้างแผ่นดีเอ็นเอสังเคราะห์ รหัส DNA ที่ได้จาก UniProt จะถูกนำไปสร้างเป็น DNA สังเคราะห์ โดยนักชีววิทยาจะออกแบบให้เหมาะสมกับการทำงานในเซลล์ของจุลินทรีย์ ไม่ใช่เซลล์วัว จะเรียกว่านี่คือ “การดัดแปลงบทละครชีวิตของวัว แล้วส่งให้จุลินทรีย์เล่นแทน” ก็ไม่ผิด DNA ที่ออกแบบนี้ มักจะมาพร้อมกับเครื่องมือบางอย่าง เช่น ตัวกระตุ้นการทำงานของยีน (promoter) หรือ ตัวตัดต่อยีน ที่จะทำให้จุลินทรีย์ยอมรับและใช้มันได้อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ
ขั้นตอนที่ 3: ปลอมตัวแทรกเข้าไปในจุลินทรีย์ จุลินทรีย์ที่ Perfect Day ใช้คือกลุ่มที่เรียกว่า Microflora ซึ่งอาจเป็นยีสต์, เชื้อรา, หรือแบคทีเรียชนิดที่เลี้ยงง่าย แต่มันจะไม่ยอมรับ DNA แปลกปลอมง่าย ๆ ดังนั้นต้องมี “เทคนิคหลอกล่อ” นิดหน่อย เขาจะทำให้ DNA ของจุลินทรีย์ เสียหายตรงจุดหนึ่ง แล้วแอบแนบ DNA ปลอม (ที่มีรหัสโปรตีนของวัว) เข้าไปซ่อมแซมจุดนั้นพอดีเป๊ะ แบบ “จิ๊กซอว์พอดีช่อง” แล้วจุลินทรีย์ก็จะเผลอรับ DNA แปลกปลอมนี้เข้าร่าง เมื่อติดตั้งสำเร็จ มันจะเริ่มแปลรหัสและ “ผลิตโปรตีนเวย์” ออกมาเหมือนกับแม่วัวตัวจริงไม่มีผิด
ขั้นตอนที่ 4: เลี้ยงจุลินทรีย์ในถังหมัก ตอนนี้จุลินทรีย์กลายเป็น “แม่วัวในร่างเซลล์เดียว” แล้ว Perfect Day ก็แค่เลี้ยงมันใน ถังหมักชีวภาพ (fermentor) ที่ควบคุมอุณหภูมิ ค่าความเป็นกรดด่าง อากาศ และใส่น้ำตาลลงไปเป็นอาหาร จุลินทรีย์จะกินน้ำตาลแล้วเปลี่ยนเป็น เวย์โปรตีน ปล่อยออกมานอกเซลล์ จากนั้นก็เก็บเอาน้ำที่มีโปรตีนนี้ ไปผ่านกระบวนการกรอง แยก แปรรูป และทำให้แห้ง เป็นผงเวย์โปรตีน พร้อมใช้ในอาหารหรือเครื่องดื่มต่าง ๆ
ขั้นตอนที่ 5: ตรวจสอบความเหมือนจริง ก่อนนำเวย์โปรตีนที่ได้ไปใช้งาน บริษัทต้อง ตรวจสอบระดับโมเลกุล ว่าโปรตีนที่ได้เหมือนกับของวัวจริง ๆ ไหม? สิ่งที่ต้องดูคือ โครงสร้างโปรตีน: ใช้เทคนิค mass spectrometry ตรวจความแม่นยำระดับกรดอะมิโน พฤติกรรมทางชีวเคมี เช่น ความสามารถในการจับกับน้ำ การเกิดฟอง หรือการละลาย ความปลอดภัย ตรวจหาสารปนเปื้อน สารก่อภูมิแพ้ หรือสารที่ไม่ได้ตั้งใจให้มี Perfect Day เคลมว่าทั้งหมดนี้ปลอดภัย และได้รับการรับรองจาก FDA ว่าเป็น GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe)
แล้วเราควรรู้สึกยังไง? นี่คือ “นมที่ไม่มีวัว” แต่มีเวย์โปรตีนครบสูตร ทำให้โยเกิร์ต ไอศกรีม และแม้กระทั่งกาแฟลาเต้ที่ไม่มีนมวัว แต่ยังมีฟองนมหนานุ่ม กลายเป็นจริงได้แบบไม่ต้องพึ่งวัวเลยแม้แต่นิดเดียว แต่คำถามที่ลึกกว่านั้นคือ... เรายังได้กินอาหารจากธรรมชาติอยู่หรือเปล่า? หรือกำลังอยู่ในยุคที่ “ชีวิต” ถูกตัดออกจากอาหาร โดยสิ้นเชิง? เทคโนโลยีนี้อาจช่วยโลกในมุมของ ESG แต่สำหรับบางคน มันคือ ทางแยกของความจริงกับของจำลอง คำว่า “Perfect” จึงอาจขึ้นอยู่กับว่า… สมบูรณ์แบบในสายตาใคร?
แล้วคำถามที่ล่องลอยอยู่เสมอคือ เมื่อทางเลือกกลายเป็นทางหลัก แล้วเราจะเหลือทางไหนอีกบ้าง หรือจะเป็น...ทางตัน? #pirateketo #กูต้องรู้มั๊ย #ม้วนหางสิลูก

jsonc { "id": "<usual hash>", "pubkey": "<sender-pubkey>", "created_at": "<current-time>", "kind": 15, "tags": [ ["p", "<receiver-1-pubkey>", "<relay-url>"], ["p", "<receiver-2-pubkey>", "<relay-url>"], ["e", "<kind-14-id>", "<relay-url>", "reply"], // if this is a reply ["subject", "<conversation-title>"], ["file-type", "<file-mime-type>"], ["encryption-algorithm", "<encryption-algorithm>"], ["decryption-key", "<decryption-key>"], ["decryption-nonce", "<decryption-nonce>"], ["x", "<the SHA-256 hexencoded string of the file>"], // rest of tags... ], "content": "<file-url>" }
Kind 15 is used for sending encrypted file event messages:

s MUST never be signed.Chat Rooms
The set of
pubkey
+p
tags defines a chat room. If a newp
tag is added or a current one is removed, a new room is created with a clean message history.Clients SHOULD render messages of the same room in a continuous thread.
An optional
subject
tag defines the current name/topic of the conversation. Any member can change the topic by simply submitting a newsubject
to an existingpubkey
+p
-tags room. There is no need to sendsubject
in every message. The newestsubject
in the thread is the subject of the conversation.Encrypting
Following NIP-59, the unsigned
kind:14
&kind:15
chat messages must be sealed (kind:13
) and then gift-wrapped (kind:1059
) to each receiver and the sender individually.jsonc { "id": "<usual hash>", "pubkey": randomPublicKey, "created_at": randomTimeUpTo2DaysInThePast(), "kind": 1059, // gift wrap "tags": [ ["p", receiverPublicKey, "<relay-url>"] // receiver ], "content": nip44Encrypt( { "id": "<usual hash>", "pubkey": senderPublicKey, "created_at": randomTimeUpTo2DaysInThePast(), "kind": 13, // seal "tags": [], // no tags "content": nip44Encrypt(unsignedKind14, senderPrivateKey, receiverPublicKey), "sig": "<signed by senderPrivateKey>" }, randomPrivateKey, receiverPublicKey ), "sig": "<signed by randomPrivateKey>" }
The encryption algorithm MUST use the latest version of NIP-44.
Clients MUST verify if pubkey of the
kind:13
is the same pubkey on thekind:14
, otherwise any sender can impersonate others by simply changing the pubkey onkind:14
.Clients SHOULD randomize
created_at
in up to two days in the past in both the seal and the gift wrap to make sure grouping bycreated_at
doesn't reveal any metadata.The gift wrap's
p
-tag can be the receiver's main pubkey or an alias key created to receive DMs without exposing the receiver's identity.Clients CAN offer disappearing messages by setting an
expiration
tag in the gift wrap of each receiver or by not generating a gift wrap to the sender's public keyPublishing
Kind
10050
indicates the user's preferred relays to receive DMs. The event MUST include a list ofrelay
tags with relay URIs.jsonc { "kind": 10050, "tags": [ ["relay", "wss://inbox.nostr.wine"], ["relay", "wss://myrelay.nostr1.com"], ], "content": "", // other fields... }
Clients SHOULD publish kind
14
events to the10050
-listed relays. If that is not found that indicates the user is not ready to receive messages under this NIP and clients shouldn't try.Relays
It's advisable that relays do not serve
kind:1059
to clients other than the ones tagged in them.It's advisable that users choose relays that conform to these practices.
Clients SHOULD guide users to keep
kind:10050
lists small (1-3 relays) and SHOULD spread it to as many relays as viable.Benefits & Limitations
This NIP offers the following privacy and security features:
- No Metadata Leak: Participant identities, each message's real date and time, event kinds, and other event tags are all hidden from the public. Senders and receivers cannot be linked with public information alone.
- No Public Group Identifiers: There is no public central queue, channel or otherwise converging identifier to correlate or count all messages in the same group.
- No Moderation: There are no group admins: no invitations or bans.
- No Shared Secrets: No secret must be known to all members that can leak or be mistakenly shared
- Fully Recoverable: Messages can be fully recoverable by any client with the user's private key
- Optional Forward Secrecy: Users and clients can opt-in for "disappearing messages".
- Uses Public Relays: Messages can flow through public relays without loss of privacy. Private relays can increase privacy further, but they are not required.
- Cold Storage: Users can unilaterally opt-in to sharing their messages with a separate key that is exclusive for DM backup and recovery.
The main limitation of this approach is having to send a separate encrypted event to each receiver. Group chats with more than 100 participants should find a more suitable messaging scheme.
Implementation
Clients implementing this NIP should by default only connect to the set of relays found in their
kind:10050
list. From that they should be able to load all messages both sent and received as well as get new live updates, making it for a very simple and lightweight implementation that should be fast.When sending a message to anyone, clients must then connect to the relays in the receiver's
kind:10050
and send the events there but can disconnect right after unless more messages are expected to be sent (e.g. the chat tab is still selected). Clients should also send a copy of their outgoing messages to their ownkind:10050
relay set.Examples
This example sends the message

@ 401014b3:59d5476b
2025-04-22 00:23:24About Me
I come to Nostr with extensive experience in the digital landscape. As a blockchain native since 2017, I've witnessed the evolution of decentralized technologies firsthand. Most of my professional career has been spent working within big tech companies, giving me a unique perspective on both centralized and decentralized systems.
My social media journey began on Twitter in 2007, where I've maintained a presence for over 17 years. I've also explored other decentralized social platforms including BlueSky, Farcaster, and Lens Protocol. As a Bitcoin maximalist, I was particularly intrigued by Nostr's compatibility with the Lightning Network, which initially drew me to the platform.
The Onboarding Challenge
The Nostr onboarding experience presents a significant hurdle for newcomers. Despite my technical background in blockchain technologies, I found the initial setup process more complicated than expected. Understanding public/private key cryptography just to join a social network creates a steeper learning curve than necessary.
BlueSky and Farcaster have demonstrated that it's possible to maintain decentralized principles while providing a more streamlined onboarding experience. Their approaches show that user-friendly design and decentralization aren't mutually exclusive concepts.
Relay Management: Room for Improvement
The concept of relays represents one of Nostr's most distinctive features, though it can be confusing for newcomers. While many clients come pre-configured with default relays, users eventually encounter situations where content or connections seem inconsistent.
When someone I've interacted with doesn't appear in my feed or doesn't respond, I'm often left wondering if we're simply on different relays. This uncertainty creates friction that doesn't exist on other platforms where connectivity is handled behind the scenes.
The relay system introduces a layer of complexity that, while important to Nostr's architecture, could benefit from better abstraction in the user experience. When using BlueSky or Farcaster, I don't need to think about the underlying infrastructure, something Nostr could learn from while maintaining its decentralized principles.
The Zap Economy: Growing Pains
The Lightning-powered zap system shows tremendous potential, but I've observed some concerning economic patterns. Longer-term Nostr users have expressed frustration about continuously sending zaps while seeing limited growth in the overall ecosystem.
Interestingly, there appears to be a connection between this liquidity issue and community growth dynamics. Some established users who voice concerns about bearing the financial burden of the zapping economy are simultaneously less welcoming to newer accounts, rarely following, engaging with, or zapping newcomers.
This creates a challenging environment for new users, who face a cold reception and have little incentive to load their Lightning wallets or participate in the zap economy. Why bring fresh liquidity to a platform where established users rarely engage with your content? This dynamic has limited the expansion of the ecosystem, with the same sats often circulating among established users rather than growing with new participants.
Client Diversity: Strength and Challenge
Nostr's multiple client options offer users choice, which is valuable. However, the implementation of NIPs (Nostr Implementation Possibilities) varies across clients, creating inconsistent experiences. Features that work seamlessly in one client might be implemented differently in another.
This extends to fundamental aspects like search functionality, thread navigation, and notification systems, all of which can differ significantly between clients. For users accustomed to consistent experiences, this fragmentation creates a learning curve with each new client they try.
Lightning Integration: Varying Experiences
The Lightning Network integration varies in quality and user experience across Nostr clients. While the functionality is generally present, the implementation quality, feature set, and ease of use differ depending on which client you choose.
This inconsistency means users may need to experiment with several clients to find one that provides the Lightning experience they're looking for, rather than having a consistent experience across the ecosystem.
Finding Balance
Nostr appears to be navigating the challenge of balancing technical innovation with user experience. While its cryptographic foundation and decentralized architecture are impressive technical achievements, these same strengths sometimes come at the cost of accessibility.
Despite my technical background and interest in decentralized technologies, I find myself using BlueSky and Farcaster more frequently for daily social interactions, while checking Nostr less often. For Nostr to achieve its potential for broader adoption, addressing these user experience considerations while maintaining its core principles will be essential.
The platform has tremendous potential with improvements to user experience, community dynamics, and economic sustainability, Nostr could evolve from a fascinating technical experiment into a truly compelling alternative to mainstream social media.

2025-04-21 23:18:20"ประวัติศาสตร์ก็เฉกเช่นธรรมชาติ — การเกิดและการตายล้วนดำเนินไปอย่างสมดุล" -โยฮัน ฮุยซิงกา3
การเสื่อมถอยของโลกยุคใหม่
พวกเรากำลังอยู่ในช่วงปลายของสิ่งที่เรียกว่า “ยุคใหม่” — ระบบโลกที่ถูกจัดระเบียบผ่านรัฐชาติอันรวมศูนย์ ซึ่งเคยพาเราผ่านยุคอุตสาหกรรม สงครามโลก และการสร้างโครงสร้างทางสังคมที่เข้มแข็งด้วยภาษี สวัสดิการ และระบบราชการ แต่ยุคนี้กำลังเคลื่อนเข้าสู่ฉากสุดท้ายของมันอย่างเงียบงัน โดยไม่มีใครในกระแสหลักพูดถึงอย่างจริงจัง และสิ่งที่กำลังมาแทนที่ก็จะแตกต่างอย่างสิ้นเชิงในเชิงคุณภาพจากโลกที่เราคุ้นเคย
เช่นเดียวกับที่สังคมเกษตรกรรมเคยมาแทนที่สังคมสัตว์-หาของป่า และระบบอุตสาหกรรมเคยมาแทนระบบศักดินา สังคมใหม่ที่กำลังปรากฏขึ้นจะเป็นการเปลี่ยนผ่านครั้งใหญ่ โดยในยุคใหม่นี้ “ประสิทธิภาพ” จะไม่ผูกติดกับ “ขนาด” อีกต่อไป อำนาจแบบรวมศูนย์ของรัฐจะถูกสั่นคลอน และระบบใหม่จะเกิดขึ้นซึ่งเล็กกว่า คล่องตัวกว่า และยากที่รัฐแบบเดิมจะควบคุม
นักประวัติศาสตร์ในอนาคตอาจมองว่าการล่มสลายของสหภาพโซเวียตในปี 1991 หรือการพังทลายของกำแพงเบอร์ลินในปี 1989 คือจุดสิ้นสุดของยุคสมัยนี้ และเปิดฉากสู่สิ่งใหม่ — บ้างเรียกมันว่ายุคหลังสมัยใหม่ บ้างว่าโลกไซเบอร์ หรือสังคมสารสนเทศ ไม่ว่าจะตั้งชื่ออย่างไร สิ่งที่ทุกคนยอมรับคือมันคือ "โลกใบใหม่" ที่แตกต่างอย่างถึงแก่นจากโลกเดิม
ความเข้าใจของมนุษย์ต่อการเปลี่ยนแปลงใหญ่ระดับอารยธรรมมักมาช้า เพราะขาดกรอบความคิดและภาษาที่จะมองเห็นมันได้ในขณะที่มันเกิดขึ้นจริง ยกตัวอย่างเช่น ไม่มีใครในยุคศักดินาคิดว่าตนเองอยู่ใน “ยุคกลาง” จนกระทั่งยุคใหม่เข้ามาเปรียบเทียบ ในทำนองเดียวกัน พวกเราทุกวันนี้ก็อาจไม่รู้ตัวว่าเรากำลังอยู่ในช่วงสิ้นสุดของยุคหนึ่ง และจุดเริ่มต้นของอีกยุคหนึ่ง
ระบบสังคมใดก็ตามมักฝังข้อสันนิษฐานโดยปริยายว่าระบบของตนคือสิ่งสูงสุด เป็นสิ่งที่ไม่มีวันเปลี่ยน และไม่ควรถูกตั้งคำถาม การตั้งคำถามถึงความอยู่รอดของระบบ จึงเป็นเรื่องที่ถูกกีดกันโดยไม่รู้ตัว เพราะยิ่งระบบใกล้ล่มสลายเท่าไร มันก็ยิ่งต้องพยายามปกปิดไม่ให้ใครรับรู้ถึงความเปราะบางของมัน
ตัวอย่างจากประวัติศาสตร์เช่น การล่มสลายของจักรวรรดิโรมันใน ค.ศ. 476 ก็ไม่ได้รับการรับรู้ว่าเป็น “จุดจบ” ในเวลานั้น แม้เมื่อจักรพรรดิองค์สุดท้าย(โรมุลุส เอากุสตุส)ถูกปลด แต่ผู้คนและโครงสร้างเดิมของโรมันก็ยังคงแสร้งทำว่าทุกอย่างดำเนินไปตามปกติ รูปแบบของรัฐบาลเก่ายังคงถูกรักษาไว้ พิธีกรรมในระบบเดิมยังคงจัดขึ้น วุฒิสภายังคงประชุม กงสุลยังได้รับการแต่งตั้ง และระบบราชการก็ยังคงอยู่เกือบครบถ้วน พวกป่าเถื่อนที่เข้ามาปกครองก็ยังแสดงตนว่าให้ความเคารพต่อจักรวรรดิไบแซนไทน์และกฎหมายโรมัน ศาสนาคริสต์ยังคงดำรงเป็นศาสนาประจำรัฐ เครื่องราชสัญลักษณ์ยังถูกใช้ในพิธีสาธารณะ ทั้งหมดนี้เป็นฉากหน้าของการพยายามรักษาภาพความต่อเนื่องในขณะที่แก่นของอำนาจได้เปลี่ยนไปแล้วโดยสิ้นเชิง
ประวัติศาสตร์ช่วงนี้สอนให้เห็นว่า การเปลี่ยนแปลงใหญ่ในระดับอารยธรรมมักถูกซ่อนเร้นอยู่ภายใต้ความเฉื่อยของสังคมที่ไม่ยอมรับความเป็นจริง คนในยุคนั้นไม่ได้รู้สึกว่าโรมล่มสลายไปแล้ว พวกเขาเพียงรู้สึกว่าชีวิตยังดำเนินต่อไปได้ แม้ภายใต้ระเบียบใหม่ที่ซ้อนทับเข้ามาโดยไม่ได้ประกาศตนอย่างเป็นทางการ ความเปลี่ยนแปลงที่แท้จริงจึงไม่ใช่เหตุการณ์ที่เกิดขึ้นในวันใดวันหนึ่ง แต่เป็นกระบวนการค่อยเป็นค่อยไปที่อาศัยแรงเฉื่อยของความเชื่อเก่าว่าสิ่งต่างๆ “ยังเหมือนเดิม”
ผู้เขียนใช้ตัวอย่างนี้เพื่อสะท้อนมาสู่โลกปัจจุบันว่า แม้ตัวอย่างโรมจะดูไกลตัว แต่ก็มีลักษณะใกล้เคียงกับสิ่งที่เรากำลังเผชิญอยู่ ระบบรัฐชาติสมัยใหม่ก็อาจกำลังเข้าสู่ภาวะเสื่อมถอยโดยที่คนส่วนใหญ่ยังไม่รู้ตัวเช่นเดียวกัน หนังสือเล่มนี้จึงไม่ได้ตั้งต้นจากการคาดเดาอนาคตอย่างลอย ๆ หากแต่เสนอว่า เราจะเข้าใจอนาคตได้ดีขึ้น ถ้าเริ่มจากการเรียนรู้กระบวนการเปลี่ยนผ่านในอดีต โดยเฉพาะพลวัตทางการเมืองและตรรกะของอำนาจ
จุดเปลี่ยนของโรมันไม่เพียงแต่แสดงให้เห็นการล่มสลายของรัฐรวมศูนย์ แต่ยังเผยให้เห็นว่าการล่มสลายนั้นสามารถเปิดทางให้กิจกรรมทางเศรษฐกิจในท้องถิ่นเบ่งบานขึ้นได้ ในยุคของเรา แม้สาเหตุจะต่างกัน — โรมล่มเพราะขยายเกินตัว เศรษฐกิจเกษตรกรรมไม่สามารถรองรับภาระรัฐ การเก็บภาษีที่หนักหนาและทหารที่ใช้อำนาจในทางมิชอบ — แต่สิ่งที่คล้ายกันคือ การไม่ยอมรับต่อการเปลี่ยนแปลงที่กำลังก่อตัว
เรายังเห็นการเปรียบเทียบถึงผลกระทบจากโรคระบาดในอดีต เช่น โรคฝีดาษที่ทำให้โรมอ่อนแอลง เช่นเดียวกับความกังวลเรื่องไวรัสกลายพันธุ์ในยุคปัจจุบัน ที่บ่งชี้ถึงความเปราะบางของโครงสร้างสังคม แม้รูปแบบของภัยคุกคามจะต่างกัน แต่สิ่งที่เหมือนกันคือ “ความไม่พร้อมของระบบ” ที่จะรับมือกับความเปลี่ยนแปลงใหญ่
แต่สิ่งสำคัญที่สุดที่ผู้เขียนต้องการชี้ ไม่ใช่แค่สาเหตุของการล่มสลาย แต่คือความจริงที่ว่า ผู้คนในยุคนั้น “ไม่เห็น” ว่าตนเองอยู่ในจุดเปลี่ยน เพราะแรงเฉื่อยทางความคิดและการเมืองทำให้พวกเขายึดมั่นในสิ่งที่เคยรู้จัก โดยไม่รู้เลยว่าโลกได้เคลื่อนเข้าสู่ระยะใหม่แล้ว และเราทุกวันนี้ก็อาจกำลังทำเช่นเดียวกัน
เรากำลังอยู่ในช่วงเวลาที่ไมโครโปรเซสเซอร์ เทคโนโลยีดิจิทัล และโครงสร้างไร้ศูนย์กลางจะเปลี่ยนกฎเกณฑ์ของอำนาจอย่างรุนแรง แต่ผู้คนกลับพยายามตีความสิ่งเหล่านี้ผ่านเลนส์ของโครงสร้างอุตสาหกรรมแบบเดิม ซึ่งอาจทำให้พลาดโอกาสที่จะเข้าใจการเปลี่ยนแปลงที่แท้จริง
ผู้เขียนเตือนว่าแม้บางหนังสือว่าด้วยอนาคตจะเต็มไปด้วยข้อมูล แต่กลับพาเราเข้าใจผิด เพราะยังยึดติดอยู่กับกรอบคิดเดิม เช่น การเชื่อว่ามนุษย์สามารถควบคุมทิศทางประวัติศาสตร์ได้เสมอ ทั้งที่ในความจริงแล้ว ปัจจัยที่ขับเคลื่อนการเปลี่ยนแปลงทางประวัติศาสตร์นั้น มักเป็นเงื่อนไขพื้นฐานที่มนุษย์ควบคุมไม่ได้ และไม่ได้อยู่ในความสนใจของการเมืองกระแสหลัก
มนุษย์มักไม่เปลี่ยนแปลงเพราะ “ต้องการเปลี่ยน” แต่เพราะ “ไม่เปลี่ยนไม่ได้แล้ว” และการเปลี่ยนแปลงเหล่านั้นมักเกิดสวนทางกับความต้องการของคนส่วนใหญ่ที่อยากรักษาสถานะเดิม
ชีวิตที่ขาดวิสัยทัศน์
ความไม่ตระหนักถึงการเปลี่ยนแปลงอันยิ่งใหญ่ที่กำลังก่อตัวขึ้นรอบตัวเรา อาจไม่ได้เกิดจากความไม่รู้ แต่เพราะเราลึกๆ แล้ว “ไม่อยากเห็น” ความเปลี่ยนแปลงนั้นเอง ความต้านทานนี้ไม่ใช่เรื่องใหม่ บรรพบุรุษของเราที่ดำรงชีพด้วยการล่าสัตว์และหาของป่าก็อาจเคยดื้อรั้นไม่ต่างกัน เพียงแต่พวกเขามีข้อแก้ตัวที่ฟังขึ้นมากกว่า เพราะในยุคก่อนประวัติศาสตร์ ไม่มีใครอาจคาดเดาว่า “การปฏิวัติการเกษตร” จะเปลี่ยนโลกไปในระดับใด พวกเขาไม่มีปฏิทิน ไม่มีการบันทึก ไม่มีแบบจำลองใดจากอดีตให้ใช้ทำนายอนาคต แม้แต่แนวคิดเรื่อง “เวลา” ก็ยังไม่มีอยู่ในจิตสำนึก พวกเขาใช้ชีวิตอยู่ใน “ปัจจุบันที่ไม่สิ้นสุด” และเมื่อพูดถึงการคาดการณ์อนาคต พวกเขาก็เป็นเหมือน “คนตาบอด” ที่ยังไม่เคยลิ้มรส “ผลไม้แห่งความรู้” (ตามคำเปรียบในพระคัมภีร์) แต่ต่างจากพวกเขา พวกเราในวันนี้มีเครื่องมือและมุมมองที่ลึกซึ้งกว่า จากองค์ความรู้ของบรรพบุรุษกว่าสี่ห้าร้อยรุ่น วิทยาศาสตร์ คณิตศาสตร์ และอัลกอริธึมของคอมพิวเตอร์ความเร็วสูง ช่วยให้เราทำความเข้าใจระบบที่ซับซ้อนอย่างเศรษฐกิจมนุษย์และพลวัตของสังคมได้ดียิ่งขึ้น แม้ทฤษฎีเศรษฐศาสตร์จะไม่สามารถอธิบายพฤติกรรมมนุษย์ได้แบบสมบูรณ์ แต่ก็ทำให้เราเข้าใจว่า “แรงจูงใจ” คือแรงผลักดันสำคัญ เมื่อผลตอบแทนสูงขึ้น หรือความเสี่ยงต่ำลง พฤติกรรมย่อมเกิดขึ้นถี่ขึ้น และนี่คือหลักการที่แม่นยำอย่างยิ่งในการวิเคราะห์อนาคต
แรงจูงใจนี้เองที่เป็นหัวใจของการพยากรณ์ และการพยากรณ์ที่ดีไม่ได้ขึ้นกับการรู้เหตุการณ์ล่วงหน้าแบบเฉพาะเจาะจง แต่ขึ้นอยู่กับการเข้าใจโครงสร้างของแรงขับเคลื่อน เช่นเดียวกับที่เราอาจไม่รู้ว่าเมื่อไรเสียงฟ้าร้องจะดังขึ้น แต่เมื่อเห็นฟ้าแลบ ก็สามารถคาดหมายได้ว่าจะมีเสียงตามมา เช่นกัน หากเราสามารถเข้าใจ “ตรรกะของความรุนแรง” ที่กำลังเปลี่ยนไปในระดับการเมืองมหภาคได้ เราก็จะมองเห็น “โอกาส” หรือ “ช่องโหว่” ของระเบียบเดิม และใครจะเป็นผู้ฉวยโอกาสเหล่านั้น
การเปลี่ยนแปลงครั้งใหญ่ในอดีต เช่น การปฏิวัติการเกษตร หรือการเข้าสู่ยุคอุตสาหกรรม ล้วนเกิดขึ้นช้าและกินเวลาหลายศตวรรษกว่าจะเผยผลเต็มที่ ในทางตรงกันข้าม การเปลี่ยนผ่านสู่ยุคสารสนเทศกลับเกิดขึ้นรวดเร็วเพียงช่วงชีวิตเดียว
ผู้เขียนวางกรอบเพื่อให้เราเข้าใจว่า การเปลี่ยนแปลงทางการเมืองมหภาคมักมาก่อนการเปลี่ยนแปลงในโครงสร้างของรัฐอย่างเป็นรูปธรรม รายได้ที่ลดลง วิกฤตที่เกิดจากทรัพยากรจำกัด และแรงกดดันจากประชากร ล้วนเป็นผลพลอยได้จากความไม่สามารถของระเบียบเดิมในการรองรับแรงกระแทกของโลกใหม่ และการพูดถึงการเปลี่ยนแปลงจาก “ภายนอกระบบ” มักถูกห้ามหรือมองว่าเป็นเรื่องต้องห้ามในทุกยุคทุกสมัย ยิ่งไปกว่านั้น การเปลี่ยนแปลงในระดับนี้มักก่อให้เกิดแรงปะทะทางวัฒนธรรมระหว่างผู้ที่ยึดมั่นในกรอบศีลธรรมดั้งเดิมกับผู้ที่เปิดรับแนวคิดใหม่ และไม่ใช่เรื่องแปลกที่การเปลี่ยนแปลงเช่นนี้จะไม่เป็นที่นิยม เพราะมันลดคุณค่าของทุนทางปัญญาเดิม ทำให้ระบบเก่าไร้ความหมาย และบีบบังคับให้สังคมต้องเรียนรู้ใหม่เกือบทั้งหมด โดยเฉพาะในกลุ่มคนที่ได้รับผลกระทบโดยตรง
สัญญาณของการเสื่อมถอยมักปรากฏในรูปของคอร์รัปชัน ความไร้ประสิทธิภาพ และการสูญเสียศีลธรรมของผู้มีอำนาจ ซึ่งมักเป็นสัญญาณล่วงหน้าของการเปลี่ยนแปลงที่หลีกเลี่ยงไม่ได้ ยิ่งในยุคที่เทคโนโลยีก้าวหน้าเร็วขึ้น กระบวนการเหล่านี้ก็จะยิ่งเร่งตัว จนทำให้เวลาที่เหลืออยู่สำหรับการปรับตัวลดลงเรื่อย ๆ
"เมื่อมองย้อนกลับไปตลอดหลายศตวรรษ — หรือแม้แต่แค่ในปัจจุบัน — เราจะเห็นได้อย่างชัดเจนว่า มีผู้คนจำนวนมากที่สร้างรายได้(บ่อยครั้งเป็นรายได้จำนวนมาก) จากทักษะในการใช้ความรุนแรงผ่านอาวุธ และกิจกรรมของพวกเขาเหล่านี้มีบทบาทอย่างสำคัญยิ่งในการกำหนดว่าทรัพยากรที่มีอยู่จำกัดในสังคมจะถูกจัดสรรไปในทิศทางใด." --เฟรเดอริก ซี. เลน
แนวคิดของการเมืองมหภาค(megapolitics) เป็นกรอบความคิดที่ทรงพลัง ซึ่งช่วยให้เรามองเห็นกลไกเบื้องหลังเหตุการณ์ที่ดูซับซ้อนหรือลึกลับในประวัติศาสตร์ ไม่ว่าจะเป็นเหตุผลที่บางรัฐบาลเจริญรุ่งเรือง ขณะที่บางแห่งกลับล่มสลาย เหตุใดสงครามจึงอุบัติขึ้น และเหตุใดฝ่ายหนึ่งจึงมีชัย หรือแม้กระทั่งว่าอะไรเป็นตัวแปรที่กำหนดวงจรแห่งความรุ่งเรืองและความตกต่ำทางเศรษฐกิจ ทั้งหมดล้วนสามารถอธิบายได้ผ่านเลนส์ของการเมืองมหภาค ซึ่งเน้นวิเคราะห์ว่า "ต้นทุนและผลตอบแทนของการใช้ความรุนแรง" เปลี่ยนไปอย่างไรในแต่ละบริบทของเวลา หากต้นทุนในการใช้อำนาจบังคับลดต่ำลง เช่น การเข้าถึงอาวุธที่ง่ายขึ้นและราคาถูกลง ก็ทำให้อำนาจเปลี่ยนมือได้ง่ายขึ้นตามไปด้วย หลักการนี้ยังคงใช้ได้ตั้งแต่ยุคโบราณจนถึงโลกยุคไซเบอร์สเปซในปัจจุบัน
ใน Part 2 เราจะมาดูกันว่ามีปัจจัยอะไรบ้างที่อยู่เบื้องหลังการเปลี่ยนแปลงครั้งใหญ่ในประวัติศาสตร์ to be continue....

2025-04-21 19:40:22It has almost been a month since the Bitcoin friendly Trump administration has been in power. The Bitcoin price was riding high days before and after the election with Bitcoin reaching a new all time high of 109k. It sure seem like surely once Trump got into office the price would skyrocket and everyone finally would have lambos and girlfriends.
Sadly for the number go up crowd this didn't happen. There are no lambos to be found and no girlfriends. All we get is some sideways price action and a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (BSR).
If you are in Bitcoin for the right reasons and understand what you hold, this is the perfect time to stack sats before the price goes parabolic. I say this because Bitcoin sure seems to be poised to make a massive run. If you look past the current price of Bitcoin you can see a storm of dollars flowing into Bitcoin from the traditional fiat economy. The signs are there if you start looking for them.
US States Creating Bitcoin Strategic Reserves
Guess how many states are considering creating a state level Bitcoin reserve of their own? Lots. Here is a list of states that are thinking about creating a reserve for their state:
- Alabama
- Arizona
- Florida
- Kansas
- Illinois
- Iowa
- Massachusetts
- Michigan
- Missouri
- Montana
- New Hampshire
- New Jersey
- New Mexico
- North Carolina
- North Dakota
- Ohio
- Pennsylvania
- South Dakota
- Texas
- Utah
- Wisconsin
- Wyoming
Each state is at some varying degree of interest in creating a reserve. Texas and Arizona are by far have made the most progress on making a Bitcoin reserve a reality. Texas is currently holding a public hearing on this at the time of this writing. There is strong political will to create a reserve so I definitely can see them being first movers on this and once Texas makes it a reality the other state will move in short order.
Arizona's strategic reserve bill passed the senate finance committee on a 5-2 which is a big deal in itself but still has a long way to go before it becomes policy. If it passes the Senate it still has to pass the Arizona House of Representatives and signed by Democrat Governor Katie Hobbs, so the odds of this becoming law is slim. Arizona Democrats seem to be anti-Bitcoin in general and any bills coming from Republicans will likely be shoot down or watered down.
Analysts believe that $23 billion could flow into Bitcoin from government reserves which equates to 247k Bitcoin going into government cold storage. I have reservations about governments creating BSR's but if we are going to have them I much rather them be at the state level where it can benefit citizens the most. Especially state pension funds that so many of our firefighters, police and first responders depend on for retirement.
We will probably see a state level BSR created by the end of the year if not sooner. Time will tell.
SAB 121 Repeal
What is SAB 121? SAB 121 or Staff Accounting Bulletin 121 made it problematic for financial institutions to custody digital assets such as Bitcoin for their customers. SAB 121 required institutions to record their holdings as a liability and not an asset.
Naturally banks and other financial institutions didn't see an upside to custody digital assets if it meant taking on liability and having an administration that was hostile to crypto in general. Why take the chance to piss off the government and give them a reason to go after you is probably the reasoning of most bank executives. SAB 121 achieved the goal the Biden administration set out to accomplish, namely stymie Bitcoin adoption by banks and individuals as long as possible.
President Trump swiftly issued a executive order rescinding SAB 121 and with that ushering a new era in the realm of Bitcoin and digital assets in general. Financial institutions now have the ability to explore Bitcoin custody solutions that fit their customer's need without fear of having to record a liability on their books.
As more and more people and business learn about Bitcoin third party custody options are going to be popular. Think about it from a small business owner perspective for a second. They are in the business of selling their widgets for Bitcoin but they don't want to manage the complexity that comes with accounting, taxes etc.. In steps in their local bank that they have been with for years if not decades and starts providing Bitcoin management services. Small business owners would be all over that idea. In the long run I think the repeal of SAB 121 is going to be a bigger deal than states creating Bitcoin strategic reserves.
FASB
Financial Accounting Standards Board or FASB for short has applied fair value accounting rules on Bitcoin and other digital assets. This is a huge deal because it will allow business to realize profit and losses of Bitcoin based on market prices. It also makes it easier for investors who evaluate businesses that hold Bitcoin on their balance sheet. Overall it treats Bitcoin like any other asset that a business would hold.
This accounting rule change will pave the way for more businesses to put Bitcoin on their balance sheet further driving demand for Bitcoin.
Lightning Companies Leading The Way
We all know that L1 Bitcoin can not scale to the entire world and that in order to bring more people into Bitcoin that layer two solutions would have to be built. This has largely been done with the creation of the lightning network which enables seamless peer to peer micropayments in the blink of an eye.
Base layer Bitcoin will certain not be used to buy your daily coffees or gym memberships but lightning will be used for that purpose. Businesses small and large will demand one click on demand solutions to help them accept Bitcoin payments for their businesses. There are plenty of Bitcoin business ready to help business adopt a Bitcoin standard.
Businesses such as Opennode, Zaprite, Voltage, Breez make switching over to a Bitcoin standard easy for businesses to do.
So when you take a step back and really look at the Bitcoin ecosystem it is a lot more mature than most give it credit for and will slowly eat away at fiat currency dominance around the world.
The best thing that you can do is be patient, stack as many sats as you can and educate others about Bitcoin. We all know how fiat currencies end. Our time will come.

2025-04-21 19:36:30When people typically use the analogy of digital gold to describe bitcoin they mean that it is a digital asset that functions in the market in a way very similar to gold. By this they mean it is a store of value, not really a medium of exchange. This framing is not popular with the bitcoin is money crowd because when people use the digital gold framing they typically mean bitcoin isn't money. Its just a store of value. A hedge against inflation. It would never be used as money. It isn't good for buying stuff. Some that say this I'm pretty convinced are simply pushing this idea because of fear of the state. Others seem to really mean it.
The other day I was thinking about this and something occurred to me. I thought I understood gold before I understood bitcoin. I imagine like most people are similar. The truth is reading "The Bitcoin Standard" taught me much more about gold than bitcoin. In fact, I didn't really learn much about bitcoin from the book. I'm not saying its not a great book about bitcoin but rather my ignorance of gold was much greater than I realized. I imagine I'm not alone in that.
I remember thinking about gold after reading it... gold is pretty cool. Its properties are kinda wild. Gold has been used as money far longer than paper money. Its absolutely absurd to compare gold to bitcoin. Bitcoin is so new! But gold has qualities that make it unique among precious metals. These are not all unique properties but these are some of its qualities that make it a good money.
- You cannot create it, you have to find/mine it.
- You cannot destroy it.
- It is fungible.
- Its authenticity can be verified.
- Its supply has a very small increase over time(for now).
- It has been used for thousands of years as both a store of value and medium of exchange.
So why don't we use gold every day to buy goods. A common opinion is that it is because of greedy bankers and central planners but that's not the whole story. The truth is that gold died as a common money largely due to technology. Telecommunications and the speed of communication across great distances is what really supplanted gold as money. Gold was still used to back paper money(notes) but its use as the actual direct medium of exchange is largely dead. Bitcoin was not the first attempt to make digital money nor digital gold, but it has been the most successful by far.
So what am I saying? Bitcoin isn't digital gold but its a good analog. If you could make gold digital is would be great money. Bitcoin is a great store of value for the same reasons gold has been. Bitcoin however can be sent across great distances with ease and at the same time it can be stored for long periods of time at low cost. It is better than gold in both ways. As a store of value and medium of exchange. I can't send an oz of gold across the globe in seconds. I can't validate the authenticity of my gold with a simple computer.
My belief is that people that think bitcoin is only a viable store of value don't really understand bitcoin. Its true that currently under standard economic definitions bitcoin is not a generally accepted medium of exchange but that is only an issue of adoption and understanding. Bitcoin without lightning is still better than any fiat money. The dollar is only digital due to custodial services and trust in third parties. Our biggest problem with bitcoin as a medium of exchange is literally a lack of knowledge. This will be solved over time as people start to hold it to preserve their long term wealth. As fiat money dies and as regimes crack down on humans we will see a rise in desire for a new money. Sadly, I think most people will need to get wrecked before they get it.
My recommendation is to stop fighting over the "digital gold" label but instead agree and focus on the digital aspect. If gold was digital it would not have been supplanted by paper notes.
What do you think?

2025-04-21 19:26:26Quantum computing is not an emergency today — but it is a slow-moving tsunami. The earlier Bitcoin prepares, the smoother the transition will be.
1. Why Quantum Computing Threatens Bitcoin
Bitcoin’s current cryptographic security relies on ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm). While this is secure against classical computers, a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could break it using Shor’s algorithm, which would allow attackers to derive private keys from exposed public keys. This poses a serious threat to user funds and the overall trust in the Bitcoin network.
Even though SHA-256, the hash function used for mining and address creation, is more quantum-resistant, it too would be weakened (though not broken) by quantum algorithms.
2. The Core Problem
Bitcoin’s vulnerability to quantum computing stems from how it handles public keys and signatures.
🔓 Public Key Exposure
Most Bitcoin addresses today (e.g., P2PKH or P2WPKH) are based on a hash of the public key, which keeps the actual public key hidden — until the user spends from that address.
Once a transaction is made, the public key is published on the blockchain, making it permanently visible and linked to the address.
🧠 Why This Matters
If a sufficiently powerful quantum computer becomes available in the future, it could apply Shor’s algorithm to derive the private key from a public key.
This creates a long-term risk:
- Any Bitcoin tied to an address with an exposed public key — even from years ago — could be stolen.
- The threat persists after a transaction, not just while it’s being confirmed.
- The longer those funds sit untouched, the more exposed they become to future quantum threats.
⚠️ Systemic Implication
This isn’t just a theoretical risk — it’s a potential threat to long-term trust in Bitcoin’s security model.
If quantum computers reach the necessary scale, they could: - Undermine confidence in the finality of old transactions - Force large-scale migrations of funds - Trigger panic or loss of trust in the ecosystem
Bitcoin’s current design protects against today’s threats — but revealed public keys create a quantum attack surface that grows with time.
3. Why It’s Hard to Fix
Transitioning Bitcoin to post-quantum cryptography is a complex challenge:
- Consensus required: Changes to signature schemes or address formats require wide agreement across the Bitcoin ecosystem.
- Signature size: Post-quantum signature algorithms could be significantly larger, which affects blockchain size, fees, and performance.
- Wallet migration: Updating wallets and moving funds to new address types must be done securely and at massive scale.
- User experience: Any major cryptographic upgrade must remain simple enough for users to avoid security risks.
4. The Path Forward
The cryptographers worldwide are already working on solutions:
- Post-Quantum Cryptographic Algorithms are being standardized by NIST, including CRYSTALS-Dilithium, Kyber, FALCON, and SPHINCS+.
- Prototypes and experiments are ongoing in testnets and research networks.
- Hybrid signature schemes are being explored to allow backward compatibility.
Governments and institutions like NIST, ENISA, and ISO are laying the foundation for cryptographic migration across industries — and Bitcoin will benefit from this ecosystem.
5. What You could do in short term
- Keep large holdings in cold storage addresses that have never been spent from.
- Avoid reusing addresses to prevent public key exposure.

2025-04-21 19:09:53Such a transformation positions Nostr to compete with established social networking platforms in terms of reach while simultaneously ensuring the preservation of user sovereignty and the integrity of cryptographic trust mechanisms.
The Emergence of Encrypted Relay-to-Relay Federation
In the context of Nostr protocol scalability challenges pertaining to censorship-resistant networking paradigms, Nostr stands as a paradigm-shifting entity, underpinned by robust public-key cryptography and minimal operational assumptions. This feature set has rendered Nostr an emblematic instrument for overcoming systemic censorship, fostering permissionless content dissemination, and upholding user autonomy within digital environments. However, as the demographic footprint of Nostr's user base grows exponentially, coupled with an expanding range of content modalities, the structural integrity of individual relays faces increasing pressure.
Challenges of Isolation and Limited Scalability in Decentralized Networks
The current architecture of Nostr relays is primarily constituted of simple TCP or WebSocket servers that facilitate the publication and reception of events. While aesthetically simple, this design introduces significant performance bottlenecks and discoverability issues. Relays targeting specific regional or topical niches often rely heavily on client-side interactions or third-party directories for information exchange. This operational framework presents inefficiencies when scaled globally, especially in scenarios requiring high throughput and rapid dissemination of information. Furthermore, it does not adequately account for redundancy and availability, especially in low-bandwidth environments or regions facing strict censorship.
Navigating Impediments of Isolation and Constrained Scalability
Current Nostr relay infrastructures mainly involve basic TCP and WebSocket configurations for event publication and reception. While simple, these configurations contribute to performance bottlenecks and a significant discoverability deficit. Relays that serve niche markets often operate under constraints, relying on client-side interactions or third-party directories. These inefficiencies become particularly problematic at a global scale, where high throughput and rapid information distribution are necessary. The absence of mechanisms to enhance redundancy and availability in environments with limited connectivity or under censorship further exacerbates these issues.
Proposal for Encrypted Relay Federation
Encrypted relay federation in decentralized networking can be achieved through a novel Nostr Improvement Proposal (NIP), which introduces a sophisticated gossip-style mesh topology. In this system, relays subscribe to content tags, message types, or public keys from peer nodes, optimizing data flow and relevance.
Central to this architecture is a mutual key handshake protocol using Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) for symmetric encryption over relay keys. This ensures data integrity and confidentiality during transmission. The use of encrypted event bundles, compression, and routing based on relay reputation metrics and content demand analytics enhances throughput and optimizes network resources.
To counter potential abuse and spam, strategies like rate limiting, financially incentivized peering, and token gating are proposed, serving as control mechanisms for network interactions. Additionally, the relay federation model could emulate the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), allowing for dynamic content advertisement and routing updates across the federated mesh, enhancing network resilience.
Advantages of Relay Federation in Data Distribution Architecture
Relay federation introduces a distributed data load management system where relays selectively store pertinent events. This enhances data retrieval efficiency, minimizes congestion, and fosters a censorship-resistant information flow. By decentralizing data storage, relays contribute to a global cache network, ensuring no single relay holds comprehensive access to all network data. This feature helps preserve the integrity of information flow, making it resistant to censorship.
An additional advantage is offline communication capabilities. Even without traditional internet access, events can still be communicated through alternative channels like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct, or LoRa. This ensures local and community-based interactions remain uninterrupted during network downtime.
Furthermore, relay federations may introduce monetization strategies where specialized relays offer access to rare or high-quality data streams, promoting competition and interoperability while providing users with diverse data options.
Some Notable Markers To Nostr Becoming the Internet Layer for Censorship Resistance
Stop for a moment in your day and try to understand what Nostr can do for your communications by observing these markers:

- Encrypted Relay Federation (Experimental) │ ▼
- Relay Mesh Networks (WireGuard + libp2p) │ ▼
- IoT Integration (Meshtastic + ESP32) │ ▼
- Fully Decentralized, Censorship-Resistant Social Layer
The implementation of encrypted federation represents a pivotal technological advancement, establishing a robust framework that challenges the prevailing architecture of fragmented social networking ecosystems and monopolistic centralized cloud services. This innovative approach posits that Nostr could:
- Facilitate a comprehensive, globally accessible decentralized index of information, driven fundamentally by user interactions and a novel microtransaction system (zaps), enabling efficient content valorization and information dissemination.
- Empower the concept of nomadic digital identities, allowing them to seamlessly traverse various relays, devoid of reliance on centralized identity verification systems, promoting user autonomy and privacy.
- Become the quintessential backend infrastructure for decentralized applications, knowledge graphs, and expansive datasets conducive to DVMs.
- Achieve seamless interoperability with established protocols, such as ActivityPub, Matrix, IPFS, and innovative eCash systems that offer incentive mechanisms, fostering an integrated and collaborative ecosystem.
In alignment with decentralization, encrypted relay-to-relay federation marks a significant evolution for the Nostr protocol, transitioning from isolated personal broadcasting stations to an interoperable, adaptive, trustless mesh network of communication nodes.
By implementing this sophisticated architecture, Nostr is positioned to scale efficiently, addressing global needs while preserving free speech, privacy, and individual autonomy in a world marked by surveillance and compartmentalized digital environments.

2025-04-21 17:29:37This foundational philosophy positioned her as the principal architect of the climactic finale of the Reconquista—a protracted campaign that sought to reclaim territories under Muslim dominion. Her decisive participation in military operations against the Emirate of Granada not only consummated centuries of Christian reclamation endeavors but also heralded the advent of a transformative epoch in both Spanish and European identity, intertwining religious zeal with nationalistic aspirations and setting the stage for the emergence of a unified Spanish state that would exert significant influence on European dynamics for centuries to come.

During the era of governance overseen by Muhammad XII, historically identified as Boabdil, the Kingdom of Granada was characterized by a pronounced trajectory of decline, beset by significant internal dissent and acute dynastic rivalry, factors that fundamentally undermined its structural integrity. The political landscape of the emirate was marked by fragmentation, most notably illustrated by the contentious relationship between Boabdil and his uncle, the militarily adept El Zagal, whose formidable martial capabilities further exacerbated the emirate's geopolitical vulnerabilities, thereby impairing its capacity to effectively mobilize resistance against the encroaching coalition of Christian forces. Nevertheless, it is imperative to acknowledge the strategic advantages conferred by Granada’s formidable mountainous terrain, coupled with the robust fortifications of its urban centers. This geographical and structural fortitude, augmented by the fervent determination and resilience of the local populace, collectively contributed to Granada's status as a critical and tenacious stronghold of Islamic governance in the broader Iberian Peninsula during this tumultuous epoch.
The military campaign initiated was precipitated by the audacious territorial annexation of Zahara by the Emirate in the annum 1481—a pivotal juncture that served as a catalytic impetus for the martial engagement orchestrated by the Catholic Monarchs, Isabel I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon.

What subsequently unfolded was an arduous protracted conflict, extending over a decade, characterized by a series of decisive military confrontations—most notably the Battle of Alhama, the skirmishes at Loja and Lucena, the strategic recapture of Zahara, and engagements in Ronda, Málaga, Baza, and Almería. Each of these encounters elucidates the intricate dynamics of military triumph entwined with the perils of adversity. Isabel's role transcended mere symbolic representation; she emerged as an astute logistical architect, meticulously structuring supply chains, provisioning her armies with necessary resources, and advocating for military advancements, including the tactical incorporation of Lombard artillery into the operational theater. Her dual presence—both on the battlefield and within the strategic command—interwove deep-seated piety with formidable power, unifying administrative efficiency with unyielding ambition.
In the face of profound personal adversities, exemplified by the heart-wrenching stillbirth of her progeny amidst the tumultuous electoral campaign, Isabel exhibited a remarkable steadfastness in her quest for triumph. Her strategic leadership catalyzed a transformative evolution in the constructs of monarchical power, ingeniously intertwining the notion of divine right—a historically entrenched justification for sovereign authority—with pragmatic statecraft underpinned by the imperatives of efficacious governance and stringent military discipline. The opposition posed by El Zagal, characterized by his indefatigable efforts and tenacious resistance, elongated the duration of the campaign; however, the indomitable spirit and cohesive resolve of the Catholic Monarchs emerged as an insuperable force, compelling the eventual culmination of their aspirations into a definitive victory.
The capitulation of the Emirate of Granada in the month of January in the year 1492 represents a pivotal moment in the historical continuum of the Iberian Peninsula, transcending the mere conclusion of the protracted series of military engagements known as the Reconquista. This momentous event is emblematic of the intricate process of state-building that led to the establishment of a cohesive Spanish nation-state fundamentally predicated on the precepts of Christian hegemony. Furthermore, it delineates the cusp of an imperial epoch characterized by expansionist ambitions fueled by religious zealotry. The ramifications of this surrender profoundly altered the sociocultural and political framework of the region, precipitating the coerced conversion and expulsion of significant Jewish and Muslim populations—a demographic upheaval that would serve to reinforce the ideological paradigms that underpinned the subsequent institution of the Spanish Inquisition, a systematic apparatus of religious persecution aimed at maintaining ideological conformity and unity under the Catholic Monarchs.

In a broader historical context, the capitulation of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada transpired concurrently with the inaugural expedition undertaken by the navigator Christopher Columbus, both events being facilitated under the auspices of Queen Isabel I of Castile. This significant temporal nexus serves to underscore the confluence of the termination of Islamic hegemony in the Iberian Peninsula with the commencement of European maritime exploration on a grand scale. Such a juxtaposition of religiously motivated conquest and the zealous pursuit of transoceanic exploration precipitated a paradigm shift in the trajectory of global history. It catalyzed the ascendance of the Spanish Empire, thereby marking the nascent stages of European colonial endeavors throughout the Americas.

This epochal transformation not only redefined territorial dominion but also initiated profound socio-economic and cultural repercussions across continents, forever altering the intricate tapestry of human civilization.
Consequently, the cessation of hostilities in Granada should not merely be interpreted as the conclusion of a protracted medieval conflict; rather, it represents a critical juncture that fundamentally reoriented the socio-political landscape of the Old World while concurrently heralding the advent of modernity. The pivotal contributions of Queen Isabel I in this transformative epoch position her as an extraordinarily significant historical figure—an autocrat whose strategic foresight, resilience, and zeal indelibly influenced the trajectory of nations and entire continents across the globe.

@ e97aaffa:2ebd765d
2025-04-21 12:57:16Se este movimento de desglobalização continuar, poderá provocar uma cisão no mundo geopolítico, criar dois grandes blocos económicos, uma nova guerra fria.
Se isso se concretizar, quantos anos vão ser necessários para o S&P500 superar máximos históricos em termos reais, em poder de compra?
Em valores nominais vai ser rápido, o governo dos EUA vai imprimir tanto dinheiro, rapidamente vai superar máximos, mas em termos reais, vai demorar muitos anos.
Até agora, todo o mundo estava a investir nos EUA, mas se os países do bloco oriental, sobretudo a China, deixarem de investir em ações, obrigações e moeda dos EUA, irá provocar uma enorme redução de liquidez e na procura/demanda, não vai ser fácil ultrapassar isso.
Nos US Treasury, o afastamento da China começou em 2014(1° guerra da Ucrânia), mas o movimento acelerou em 2022(2° guerra da Ucrânia).
Os EUA, ao congelar as reservas da Rússia, ao utilizar as reservas como uma arma de guerra, “assustaram” a China e outros países. As sanções à Rússia e como esta fez para contornar as sanções foi um case study para a China.
Como o objetivo da China é recuperar Taiwan, sabe que sofrerá as mesmas represálias que hoje a Rússia sofre, por isso a China tem que se afastar da economia dos EUA.
A China está a trocar US Treasury por outros ativos e por outras geografias, o principal beneficiado foi o ouro, um ativo soberano, que não tem problemas de contraparte.
Este movimento da China foi bem visível no preço do ouro no último ano, uma valorização superior a 42%.
Mas não é só a China que está a apostar no ouro, são diversos, mas sobretudo composta por países do bloco oriental.
Enquanto, Taiwan for a fábrica do mundo nos semicondutores, estarão protegidos pelo guarda-chuva dos EUA. Mas os EUA, estão a construir fábricas próprias, quando forem auto-suficientes, vão descartar o “guarda-chuva”, Taiwan não terá qualquer hipótese sobre o poderio da China.
A China pensa sempre a longo prazo, estão apenas a aguardar, isto poderá estar para muito em breve.
Se isto se confirmar, o S&P500 poderá demorar décadas para recuperar desta crise, em termos de poder de compra.
