The Fed Leaves Fed Funds Rate at 4.5% as Economic Storm Clouds Gather

by Ryan McMaken

The Fed is now hemmed in by a rising risk of stagflation. It doesn’t know where the economy is headed, or is unwilling to take a position. At this point, “hope for the best” is Fed policy.

@ 1c19eb1a:e22fb0bc

If you haven't noticed already, #Nostr is a little different from what most people are used to. One of the ways this is felt most acutely is with media hosting. Users are accustomed to uploading their images and videos directly through the app they are posting from. Many Nostr apps provide that same experience nowadays, but it wasn't always the case.

Just a couple years ago, users had to find somewhere to host their media separately, and then copy and paste the URL into their note whenever they wanted to share their cat pictures. One of the first, if not the first, media hosting services specifically intended for Nostr was nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7, which will be the service we are reviewing today.

Like our previous review of Amber, Nostr.Build is a service for users to pair with other Nostr apps. You won't generally use nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 by itself. Rather, you'll use it to host that incredible shot you want to post to #Olas, or to host screenshots for your long-form tutorial about setting up Nostr Wallet Connect that you'll be posting from #Habla.news, or for hosting a hilarious video of your cat falling asleep to nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u's voice and taking a tumble off of his favorite perch that you want to share on #Damus. However, there are some features within Nostr.Build that you may want to check out quite apart from using it with any other Nostr app.

Overall Impression

Score: 4.8 / 5

I have been impressed by Nostr.Build for some time now, but they have pulled out all the stops in their latest update, increasing their maximum file size for free accounts to 100MB, integrating the #Blossom protocol, adding the ability to share directly to Nostr from within your dashboard, and more integrations with other Nostr apps than ever before. Nostr.Build is simply a pleasure to use, whether through their web interface, or through another Nostr app that integrates with them.

With the ability to easily organize your media, view statistics, browse the media gallery of free uploads, metadata removal for increased privacy, and AI image generation, Nostr.Build is not simply a media hosting service, it is a full-fledged media management platform. Its robust features keep it well ahead of other Nostr-focused media hosting options available, and a particularly strong option for those using Blossom and wanting redundancy and reliable uptime for their media.

As much as I enjoy using the web interface, though, where Nostr.Build really shines is their integrations with other Nostr apps. These integrations allow users to have the same experience they are accustomed to from centralized social platforms of uploading their media from within the same app they are using to share it. No copy/pasting a URL from one app to another. In fact, many users may not realize they have been using Nostr.Build in their client of choice, simply because it is the default option for media hosting for many Nostr apps.

This has the added benefit to client developers that they can provide this experience to their users without having to run media hosting infrastructure on top of trying to build their app. The separation of relays, clients, and media hosting between different entities, while keeping a similar experience to centralized platforms where a single company controls all three, is critical to Nostr adoption.

Features

Nostr.Build has a plethora of features beyond simply hosting your media. Let's take a look!

AI Image Generation

Do you need a quick title image for a long-form article? How about inspiration for a logo or art piece? Nostr.Build's AI Studio has you covered.

They have provided a few different models based on the plan you purchase, beginning with the Professional plan, which includes SDXL-Lightning and Stable Diffusion 1. Upgrading to the Creator plan will give you access to all Pro Stable Diffusion models and unlimited use of the Flux.1 model, which is the same core model used for Grok2 images.

I personally have a Professional account, so I haven't had a chance to try out Flux.1, but I have used Stable Diffusion extensively for creating character art for #NostrHeroes characters, such as these:

Nothing too spectacular when compared with some of the newer models out there, and there is no image-to-image support (yet), but more than adequate for casual image generation needs. Moreover, it is far more than what one would expect from a simple media-hosting service.

Admittedly, I am also no expert at coaxing AI models to produce anything remarkable so your results may vary. Either way, image generation is a welcome tool to have available without needing to go to an outside service unless you require something very specific.

Upload Limits

The maximum file size limits on Nostr.Build have been getting progressively larger, even for their free service. As I recall, it was a mere 21MB limit per file just a few months ago, which is fine for image files, but is quickly exceeded with videos. Then they increased their limits to 50MB per file, and as of recent updates it has been increased once more to a whopping 100MB per file... for free! This is more than adequate for most uses.

However, free users' images, GIFs, and videos are automatically viewable via Nostr.Build's free media gallery. This is something to particularly bear in mind when uploading images you intend to share via direct message. Though your DMs are encrypted, the images uploaded to Nostr.Build are not, and if you don't have a paid account, they will be viewable to the all paid users in the free media gallery. If you want to upload images that will not be viewable unless you actively share them, you must have a paid account.

Paid accounts have no file size limit, but they do have a total storage limit. I could not find anything about total storage limits for free accounts, but Professional tier will give you 25GB, Creator 50GB, and Advanced 250GB. Uploads to paid accounts are not visible in the free media gallery, so only those you give the link to will be able to access your content.

Media Types

Many file types are supported by Nostr.Built, even for free users, including:

• Image: .jpg, .png, .gif
• Video: .mov, mp4
• Audio: mp3, .wav

Upgrading to the Professional plan will add .pdf and .svg to the list of permitted file types, and upgrading to Creator or above will add .zip files, as well.

I believe other common file types are also supported, but these are the only ones specifically mentioned on the site.

Free Media Gallery

The free media gallery is an interesting little feature that Nostr.Build has available to paid accounts. Free users can get a preview, such as the one below, but only paid users can browse through the millions of uploads made by free users.

Apart from being amusing to browse through the things people have been uploading, I am unsure of how useful this particular feature is. No indication is given as to who uploaded the media, and it is limited compared to media feeds in other Nostr apps in two important ways. First, it only shows media uploaded to Nostr.Build, while other media-focused Nostr apps, such as Slidestr, Lumina, or even Primal will show media posted by all Nostr users. Second, Nostr.Build's gallery doesn't show all uploads to Nostr.Build, but only uploads from those without a paid account, further limiting the scope of whose uploads are seen.

Paid users have the advantage of being able to upload media that is not viewable to anyone unless they intentionally share the link somewhere. Free users, on the other hand, must be aware that their uploads are viewable by any paid users, whether they shared the link anywhere or not.

One incident I had while testing out another app required me to reach out to Nostr.Build support to request deletion of an image. It had some of my personal information in it, and had been uploaded to Nostr.Build and sent to me via DM. The sender assumed that since it was being sent via DM, no one else would be able to see the image, but because he was not a paid user of Nostr.Build, the image was included in the Free Media Gallery for any paid user to see. Not ideal, but the folks at Nostr.Build were quick to get it deleted for me.

In short, I have mixed feelings about this particular feature.

Blossom

Blossom is a media storage and retrieval protocol built for Nostr, but usable with any application that needs to access media via the web, and Nostr.Build has recently added support for Blossom uploads via their Blossom server: blossom.band

I will likely be adding a Nostrversity article going over Blossom in detail in the near future, but here's the basics of what it makes possible:

First, easy integration for media uploading from your favorite Nostr apps. Amethyst, Coracle, Primal and others have added Blossom upload support, so you just have to hop into your settings and add Nostr.Build's Blossom server address to start using it as your media host. No need to go to a separate app to upload your media and copy/paste the URL into your Nostr note!

Second, your media in Blossom is content addressable. This means it is named based on a hash of its actual data. Because of this, you can verify that the media has not been altered or replaced by your media host. If the hash doesn't match the data, it won't be loaded by the Nostr client, so you never have to worry about the image in your note being replaced by a different image by your media host.

Finally, because your media is addressable by its content, you can save the same media to multiple hosts, and if one of them goes down, Nostr apps can fetch your media from other hosts, just like they can do with your notes by fetching them from different relays if one relay you write to is down. This makes your images and videos much harder to censor, since you would need to be banned by multiple Blossom servers for your media to no longer be accessible.

If you would like to upload media to more than one Blossom server at the same time, your options are currently to use Primal and ensure that your settings have "Enable media mirrors" toggled on, or to use Bouquet. Hopefully we will see this option added to more Nostr apps in the near future.

Metadata Stripping

For files uploaded via Nostr.Build's dashboard, location metadata is removed upon upload. This is to protect user privacy, since this data could be used to reveal your home address if it is left attached to images posted publicly on Nostr.

When uploading via Blossom, media containing location metadata will be rejected. The user will be required to remove the metadata before they can upload the media.

No KYC and No Ads Policy

The only form of identification needed to use Nostr.Build is your Nostr identity. Every upload is tied to your npub, but no name, date of birth, email, or other identifying information is required. This is made possible because Nostr.Build only accepts Bitcoin as payment for their accounts, and no KYC is required to make Bitcoin transactions via Lightning.

Additionally, Nostr.Build is philosophically opposed to targeted advertising, so they have a policy that they will never use ads on their hosting service.

Client Integrations

Even before Blossom, Nostr.Build had many Nostr clients that used it as the default media hosting service, allowing users to upload directly within the app. This has only expanded now that Nostr.Build has added Blossom.

A very non-exhaustive list of clients that integrate with Nostr.Build is listed on their site, and includes Damus, Amethyst, Nostrudel, Snort, Iris, Coracle, Flycat, and Yakihonne. Additional apps that support Nostr.Build via Blossom include Primal and Flotilla. Some of these integrations support both Blossom and NIP-96 options for uploading media, such as Amethyst, while others only support one or the other.

I would not be surprised to see more and more Nostr apps move to integrating Blossom and phasing out NIP-96 support. Either way, though, Nostr.Build currently supports both, and is therefore an excellent hosting option if you want to use it with a wide range of Nostr apps.

Media Statistics

For those with a paid account, Nostr.Build provides information about how often each of your uploads has been requested and viewed within a given time period.

This can be valuable information for content creators, so they can determine what content is resonating with their audience, and what times of day their posts get the most views.

This information can currently be viewed for a maximum period of three months prior to the current date, and as short a period as just the past hour.

Can My Grandma Use It?

Score: 4.7 / 5

Nostr.Build is incredibly easy to use if you have a paid account, or if you are a free user uploading to Nostr.Build through a client that integrates with them by default. Previous frictions encountered by free users trying to upload large files should now be few and far between, thanks to the generous 100MB size limit.

Where things may be a bit more involved is when users are trying to set up media hosting on Nostr apps that don't use Nostr.Build by default. Exactly where in the settings the user must go to set this up, and whether to use the Blossom or NIP-96 address may not be immediately apparent, and requires an understanding of the difference that the user may not possess. This is not the fault of Nostr.Built, though, and I have not taken it into consideration in the scoring. Each individual Nostr app's settings should be as easy to understand as possible.

Another point of friction may come from free users who want to upload directly through the Nostr.Build site, instead of via another Nostr app. This used to be possible without logging in, but in an effort to ensure the service was used for Nostr, and not for general media hosting, Nostr.Build added the requirement to log in.

Thankfully, there are plenty of login options, including npub and password, browser extension (NIP-07), and even via a one-time-code sent to you via Nostr DM. However, if you don't have a paid account already, logging in will prompt you to upgrade. It seems that uploading directly via the website has been removed for free users entirely. You can only upload via another Nostr app if you don't have a paid account. This may lead to confusion for users who don't want to pay for an account, since it isn't made apparent anywhere that uploading through the website isn't an option for them.

Additionally, I would like to see the addresses for the Blossom server and for NIP-96 uploads (unless they are being phased out) added to the main page somewhere. Even selecting the "Blossom" page from the site navigation doesn't make clear what needs to be done to utilize the service. Something as simple as, "To use Nostr.Build with your favorite Blossom compatible Nostr apps, just add https://blossom.band as your media host in the app settings," would be enough to point users in the right direction.

For those who do have paid accounts, the dashboard is easy to navigate and organize your media.

By default, all uploads are added to the Main Folder. Users can leave them there, or they can easily create new folders and drag and drop media to organize it.

Every image has a copy/paste clipboard icon for ready access to copy the media URL for inclusion into a Nostr note.

Additionally, Nostr.Build allows users to share their uploaded media to Nostr directly from the dashboard. Bear in mind, though, this is published to a set of popular relays, without taking into account the user's preferred write relays.

The section just below the user's profile information gives an at-a-glance view of important information, such as how much of the user's allotted storage has been used, how many AI Studio credits are available, how many days are left before their paid account must be renewed, and how many files from three major categories — GIFs, images, and videos — have been uploaded.

Uploading directly to the dashboard is also incredibly easy. You can simply drag and drop files into the upload pane, or browse for them. If you have a URL for the media you want to upload, you can even paste it to import from another website or Blossom server.

Anything I could think of that I might want to do in the interface was intuitive to find, well labeled, or had common and easily identified icons.

How do UI look?

Score: 4.7 / 5

I would describe Nostr.Build's UI as clean and utilitarian, which is what one would expect from a media hosting service. Nothing too flashy. Just what you need and nothing you don't.

We certainly like our purple color-schemes on Nostr, and Nostr.Build leans into that with white text on shades of purple backgrounds, along with occasional color-popping accents. If a Nostr client had made the same color choices, I might be a bit more critical, but it works in an app that users won't be spending a ton of time in, except while managing their media, or using the AI Studio to generate some images.

UI elements such as buttons, active folder indicators, and icons all maintain an attractive, and simple design, with rounded corners wherever appropriate. Nothing looks too busy or overbearing, and the spacing between image previews in the folder view is just right.

Font remains consistent throughout the interface, with no jarring changes, and bold text, in white or another contrasting color, is used appropriately to draw attention, while subdued text is rendered in a light purple to blend more with the background, while remaining readable.

As such, the UI is attractive, without being particularly breathtaking. Nothing to complain about, but also nothing to write home about.

Log In Options

Score: 4.8 / 5

As mentioned previously, Nostr.Build provides three ways a user can log in.

The first should be very familiar for any Nostr user who frequents web clients, and that is by use of a browser extension (NIP-07), such as Alby, Nos2x, or Gooti. Note, this will also work if you are on Android and using KeyChat's browser, which has a NIP-07 signer built in.

Next is the legacy login method for Nostr.Build that they have used since the service first launched, which is via npub and password. This should serve to remind you that even though Nostr.Build supports Nostr login, and can post your images to Nostr for you, it's really just a centralized media hosting service. Just like you wouldn't use only one Nostr relay, you should not use just one media host. Mirror your media to other Blossom servers.

Most intriguing, and one I had not seen used before, is the option to use your npub and have a one-time-code sent to you via Nostr DM. I tested this method out and it worked flawlessly. It is unfortunately using the old NIP-04 DM spec, though, so any clients that have deprecated these DMs will not work for receiving the code. We're in a strange place with Nostr DMs currently, with some clients deprecating NIP-04 DMs in favor of NIP-17, others that still only support NIP-04, and a few that support both. If you don't see the DM in your client of choice, hop over to Primal and check your DMs there in the "other" tab.

Since Nostr.Build is supporting Nostr login, I would like to see them add remote signer (NIP-46) login alongside browser extension login to round out the options expected from a Nostr web app.

Feature Set

Score: 4.8 / 5

The features provided by Nostr.Build all work as expected and provide a lot of value to the user. With only one exception, all of the features make sense for a media hosting and management service to provide, and they are adding more features all the time.

Users not only get a reliable hosting service, with excellent uptime for their media, but they get integrations with most Nostr clients I can think of, Blossom protocol support, media organization and statistics, posting media to Nostr from within the dashboard, metadata stripping for enhanced privacy, a wide range of supported file types, and an AI image generation studio! What's more, there are additional features already on the roadmap, including traditional and AI image editing, additional plan options, expandable storage, and video transcoding for optimized playback. Nostr.Build is just getting started and they already offer more than most media hosting services out there, intended for Nostr or otherwise.

The one feature I am still not sold on is the "Free Media Gallery." The name is misleading. The gallery itself is not free. You must have a paid account to access more than a preview of it. Rather, it displays media uploaded by free users, regardless of whether they uploaded that media to send via DM, or uploaded it but decided not to share it out, or uploaded it to post it only within a private group on Flotilla, or uploaded it and only sent the note with the image link to a private relay.

Moreover, if I want to see media that has been shared on Nostr, there are plenty of ways I can do so that I can be confident only include media users intended to be publicly viewable. This feature from Nostr.Build, if it is kept at all, should have some way of ensuring the gallery only includes images that were shared on public relays.

Pricing

Score: 5 / 5

The pricing structure for Nostr.Build is exceptionally reasonable when compared with other services.

The Professional plan, which is their lowest paid tier, is just 69,000 sats a year. At current price, that translates to around $70 for the year, and Nostr.Build has been known to lower their pricing as Bitcoin goes up. Users can also get a 10% or 20% discount if they buy 2 or 3 years at a time, compensating for the fact that Bitcoin tends to go up year over year.

For that cost, users get 25GB of storage, unlimited file size for uploads within that storage cap, and access to all of Nostr.Build's features mentioned in this review, with the exception of their highest end AI models and storage of certain file types.

If I were to set up my own VPS to host a Blossom server with comparable storage, I would be paying around $14 a month before the cost of the domain, and it would be anything but plug and play. Even then, all I would have is storage. I would be missing out on all of the other features Nostr.Build has out of the box for less than half the price.

The Creator plan is close to double the cost at 120,000 sats, or about $120, a year. However, you aren't just getting double the storage space at 50GB; you are also getting double the AI credits, access to the higher tier AI models, S3 backup for all of your media, and your own Creator page you can share out with your media available for others to browse in one location.

The Advanced plan doesn't add a lot of extra features for more than double the price of the Creator plan, but it MASSIVELY increases your storage limit by 5x to a total of 250GB. Comparable storage space on a VPS to run your own Blossom server would be about $100 a month and Nostr.Build is offering it for about $250 (250,000 sats) for a whole year! If you really need to host that much media, it's hard to beat this price. The plan also comes with a Nostr.Build NIP-05 address, if you need one.

Now, the argument can be made, "But it's priced in sats, and that means in four years I will have spent many times that dollar amount on their service, possibly making it more expensive than other services priced in fiat." While that is true, it also doesn't take opportunity cost into account. Every dollar you spend on something other than Bitcoin is a missed opportunity to have bought Bitcoin with it. There's not really any difference between spending $70 in fiat to buy a hosting plan vs spending 69,000 sats, because you could have used that same $70 to buy Bitcoin instead, so you are losing out on that increase in purchasing power either way.

Not to mention, you can just buy the sats with your fiat and send it to Nostr.Build, so you would effectively be buying your plan with fiat, and they would be receiving sats.

I think Satellite.earth is still technically less expensive at just $0.05 per GB per month, which comes to $15 a year for the same 25GB of Nostr.Build's professional plan. However, all you get is media hosting. You miss out on all of the other features provided by Nostr.Build. And if you are uploading files of 100MB or less... Well, free with Nostr.Build is still cheaper than $0.5 per GB.

Wrap Up

All of the above comes together to make Nostr.Build a versatile and full-featured media hosting and management service at an affordable price point for their paid accounts, but with no need to pay at all if you just want a place to upload photos, GIFs, memes, and even some videos, so long as the file size stays under 100MB. Whether you want to use Nostr.Build as your primary media host, or as just one redundancy in your Blossom set up, they have you covered and I encourage you to check them out!

For the next review, I would like to go with another client, this time for the web, and the two options I am debating between are Coracle.social and Jumble.social. Let me know in the comments which you would like to see!

Google három fejlett atomerőmű-fejlesztését finanszírozza

A Google megállapodást kötött az amerikai Elementl Power nevű nukleáris projektfejlesztő céggel, hogy legalább három, egyenként 600 MW kapacitású fejlett atomerőmű fejlesztését finanszírozza az Egyesült Államokban. Ezek a projektek a Google és más nagy technológiai cégek növekvő energiaigényét szolgálják ki, különösen az adatközpontok és a mesterséges intelligencia (AI) miatt[7][10][19][16]. A Google a fejlesztés korai szakaszában biztosít tőkét, a projektek befejezése után pedig lehetősége lesz az ott termelt villamos energia megvásárlására. A pontos helyszíneket és a megállapodás pénzügyi részleteit egyelőre nem hozták nyilvánosságra[10][19][16].

A Google célja, hogy működését 24/7, azaz folyamatosan elérhető, szén-dioxid-mentes energiával lássa el, és ezzel hozzájáruljon az elektromos hálózatok stabilitásához is[10][19][6]. Az Elementl Power technológia-semleges, vagyis még nem döntötték el, milyen típusú reaktort használnak, hanem a fejlesztésben legelőrébb járó technológiát választják majd a kivitelezés idején[10][19][16].

Big Tech és az atomenergia: trendek

A Google mellett más nagy technológiai cégek, például a Microsoft, az Amazon és az Oracle is elkötelezettek az atomenergia mellett, hogy adatközpontjaik számára megbízható, alacsony szén-dioxid-kibocsátású áramot biztosítsanak[15][11][20]. A Google például a Kairos Power nevű céggel is együttműködik kis moduláris reaktorok (SMR) fejlesztésében, amelyek első példányai 2030 körül állhatnak üzembe[1][2][3][17][8]. Az SMR-ek előnye, hogy gyorsabban és olcsóbban telepíthetők, mint a hagyományos nagy atomerőművek, és rugalmasabban illeszthetők az energiaigényekhez[2][3][1].

Pallas kutatóreaktor Hollandiában

Hollandiában befejezték az új Pallas kutatóreaktor alapozását és munkagödrét, ami jelentős mérföldkő a projektben. A reaktor az orvosi radioizotópok előállításában játszik majd kulcsszerepet, több millió beteg ellátását biztosítva világszerte, főként daganatos és szív-érrendszeri betegségek diagnosztikájában és terápiájában. A Pallas reaktor a jelenlegi, 1961 óta működő High-Flux Reactort (HFR) fogja felváltani[forrás: eredeti szöveg].

Finn SMR fejlesztés: demonstrációs üzem

A finn Steady Energy vállalat nem-nukleáris demonstrációs üzemet épít a helsinki Salmisaari B széntüzelésű erőmű helyén, hogy bemutassa LDR-50 típusú kis moduláris reaktorának (SMR) alkalmasságát távhőtermelésre. A projekt célja, hogy a fosszilis energiahordozókat alacsony kibocsátású technológiával váltsa fel a városi távhőrendszerekben[forrás: eredeti szöveg].

Urán és nukleáris üzemanyag: amerikai fejlesztések

Az amerikai Uranium Energy Corp (UEC) és a Radiant Industries megállapodást kötött amerikai eredetű urán szállításáról, hogy támogassák a Radiant Kaleidos mikroraktorok elterjedését. Ezek a mikroraktorok 1 MW teljesítményűek, szállíthatók, és 2028-tól kezdődhet a kereskedelmi alkalmazásuk[forrás: eredeti szöveg].

A Global Laser Enrichment (GLE) Észak-Karolinában megkezdte a harmadik generációs, lézeralapú Silex urándúsítási technológia demonstrációs tesztjeit. Ez a technológia nagyobb hatékonyságot, alacsonyabb költségeket és rugalmasabb üzemanyaggyártást ígér a jövő atomerőművei számára. A GLE célja, hogy 2028-tól kereskedelmi üzembe helyezze az új dúsítóüzemet Kentuckyban[forrás: eredeti szöveg].

Egyéb hírek röviden

• Az Egyesült Államokban befejezték az ITER szupra­vezető mágnesének utolsó moduljának tesztelését, amely kulcsfontosságú a franciaországi fúziós kísérleti reaktorban.
• Ausztráliában a nukleáris energia bevezetését szorgalmazza egy lobbicsoport, bár jelenleg törvény tiltja az atomerőművek építését.
• Csehországban, a Dukovany atomerőmű bővítésével kapcsolatos szerződéseket írtak alá dél-koreai cégekkel, egy francia bírósági tiltás ellenére.
• 2025 júniusában Zágrábban rendezik meg a European Nuclear Young Generation Forumot, amely a fiatal nukleáris szakemberek legnagyobb európai találkozója lesz[forrás: eredeti szöveg].

Why Your Manufacturing Engineers Shouldn’t Build Your Next‑Gen Product (and How an External NPD Team Supercharges Both)

1  |  Two Very Different Missions

Most electronics companies lump “engineering” into one budget line. In reality there are two distinct jobs:

| Mission | Core Question | Success Metric | |---------|---------------|----------------| | Manufacturing & Sales Support | How do we keep shipping and lower COGS? | Uptime, yield, cost‑down, ECO turnaround | | New‑Product Development | What will customers demand 18‑36 months from now? | Time‑to‑market, feature velocity, first‑pass success |

Trying to solve both with the same staff is like asking your pit‑crew to design an entirely new race‑car while the current one is circling the track.

---

2  |  Why Your In‑House Team Excels at Sustaining Work

• Process‑driven mindset – KPIs center on takt time and scrap, not innovation cycles.
• Deep tribal knowledge of legacy designs, test fixtures, and compliance filings.
• Close link to Ops & Sales – Daily stand‑ups about line stoppages and customer RMAs.

That focus is exactly why the factory runs smoothly — but it penalizes exploratory work. Every minute spent chasing down a bleeding‑edge SoC or new RF stack is a minute the line risks slipping.

---

3  |  What New‑Product Development Really Demands

• State‑of‑the‑art parts libraries (and the supply‑chain foresight to qualify alternates).
• Architectural runway — designs built for firmware updatability, security, and field diagnostics.
• Fast‑loop prototyping — EVT to DVT in weeks, not half‑years.
• Cross‑disciplinary toolchain — from FPGA simulation to Yocto‑based Linux builds to OTA pipelines.

These skills dull quickly when they aren’t used daily; maintaining them internally is expensive downtime for a sustaining group.

---

4  |  The Outside‑NPD Model: Division of Labor That Works

| Stage | Your Internal Team | Our External NPD Team | |-------|-------------------|-----------------------| | Concept | Product vision, market intel | Technology scouting, architecture options | | Design | DFx feedback & factory constraints | Schematics, layouts, firmware, driver stacks | | Validation | Factory test jig specs | EVT/DVT, pre‑compliance, safety margins | | Transfer | Process FMEAs, operator training | Full doc set, source, BoM, bring‑up guides |

Result: No bandwidth tug‑of‑war — each team stays in its lane and both lanes move faster.

---

5  |  Seven Tangible Benefits You’ll Feel in Year 1

1. 14‑30 % faster NPD schedules via parallel tasking.
2. Zero factory interruptions — sustaining KPIs stay green.
3. Up‑to‑date technology choices yielding longer market life and lower future BOM risk.
4. Process upgrades your ops team can re‑use (automated CI for firmware, digital‑thread BoM).
5. Cleaner IP chain of custody — everything delivered in version‑controlled repos with SPDX manifests.
6. Predictable budgeting — fixed‑price or milestone schedules instead of overtime creep.
7. On‑demand specialist depth (wireless certs, OS driver authors, safety assessors) without hiring.

---

6  |  Hand‑Off That Sticks

We shut the project down only after:

• Source, binaries, Gerbers, test plans, and regulatory artifacts are in your repo.
• Your sustaining engineers complete hands‑on bring‑up alongside ours.
• A 30‑60‑day shadow‑support window is booked.

That means the next ECO lands on your familiar desk, not ours — unless you want it to.

---

7  |  A Quick Example

When ACME Corp’s internal team tried to modernize their decade‑old IoT gateway, the factory choked on late‑night proto builds. We took the NPD load, delivered a Linux‑plus‑Modbus driver stack in 16 weeks, and handed it back with a test‑rig script that ACME’s own sustaining crew still runs today — zero line downtime, product launched six months early.

---

8  |  Ready to Split the Load?

If your manufacturing engineers are drowning in ECOs and your roadmap is slipping, let’s talk. We’ll map out an NPD sprint plan that leaves your factory gurus doing what they do best — keeping product flowing — while we build the future version you’ll hand back to them, fully documented.

@ 7b20d99d:d2a541a9

Bitcoin is a powerful tool for sending aid quickly, directly, and without intermediaries, especially in countries where banking systems are corrupt or inefficient. It allows for supporting noble causes without relying on slow or centralized NGOs. But where there is generosity, there are also abuses.

In the Bitcoin world, some have learned to exploit the anonymity and speed of transactions to create fake emotional stories and steal funds from well-meaning individuals. These scams damage trust and slow down the adoption of Bitcoin in humanitarian efforts.

In this series, I'll show you:

How to spot dubious projects,

What practices can alert you,

And most importantly, how to continue supporting real causes safely.

Alert 1: Lack of transparency

A serious charity project, whether Bitcoin-based or not, must be accountable.

In the Bitcoin ecosystem, where everything relies on peer-to-peer trust, transparency is even more crucial.

Here are the classic signs of a lack of transparency:

1. No concrete evidence of action on the ground.

   A project that asks you for money but doesn't show any photos, videos, or reports is suspicious. Even with limited resources, a legitimate project can show:

Before/after images of an action (e.g., food distribution, healthcare, clothing)

Receipts or proof of purchase (blurred if necessary for privacy)

Testimonies from beneficiaries, even short ones

1. No regular posting or tracking.

If a project has raised funds but doesn't publish any updates on the progress, distribution, or results achieved, this is a red flag. A genuine project maintains a connection with its donors, even after the fundraising process.

1. Bitcoin address without tracking.

Providing a Bitcoin address without providing a link to a Geyser, BTCPay, or donation tracking page is an easy way to hide donation flows. Serious projects use public tools to make donations visible to everyone.

1. Refusal to answer questions.

An honest project accepts questions from donors:

• Where do the funds go?
• Why this amount?
• Who is responsible?

If there is constant vagueness, or worse, aggression when you ask these questions: that's a red flag.

Recommendation :

Before donating, look for evidence. Ask simple questions. And above all, compare several projects: you'll quickly see who's doing real work, and who's showing nothing.

---

In Bitcoin charity projects, emotion is often the scammer's favorite tool. They know: if you're moved, you give quickly. Especially when there's an emergency. Unfortunately, they often have no real reason behind their requests.

Here's how these emotional manipulations work:

1. Dramatic stories without proof.

   A sick child, an injured animal, a starving family... these stories touch the heart. But often, the images are taken from Google or old TikTok/Facebook accounts. There's no proof that the person requesting sats is actually involved.

2. The manufactured emergency.

Scammers use phrases like:

"URGENT! He only has two days to live!"

"We need 100,000 sats before midnight, or else..."

This kind of urgency is often fabricated to push you to act without thinking or checking.

1. No trace of previous activity.

Often, these accounts have never discussed charity before. They suddenly appear, launch an emotional campaign, receive donations... then disappear or change their name.

1. Reusing stories from other projects.

Some copy real stories from real projects and adapt them with new BTC addresses. They rely on virality and credulity. Sometimes, they even imitate the style of a legitimate project.

How to protect yourself?

Reverse image search: You can use Google Images or Yandex to check if the photo is circulating elsewhere.

Research the account's history: was it posting content before the campaign? Does it seem committed to Bitcoin or a cause?

Refrain from reacting too quickly: if a story upsets you, that's exactly what the scammer wants. Take a break, do some research.

Key points:

A real project doesn't need to manipulate your emotions to gain your support. It shares its impact, its concrete actions, and is open to scrutiny. Never let your sats speak before your brain.

---

---

Check the project's public presence and reputation

In the decentralized world of Bitcoin, there are no guarantees or official certifiers. What replaces institutions is reputation: what others say about you, what you publish, and how you act over time.

Before donating to a charitable project in Bitcoin, it is essential to verify the public presence and traceability of the project or individual. This can prevent you from being scammed by opportunistic or malicious accounts.

Here are the good reflexes to have:

---

1. Cross-platform search

A legitimate project leaves its mark on multiple channels:

Nostr: posts, zaps, interactions, community relays

Twitter/X: regular posts, comments, retweets

Telegram, YouTube, Instagram: visual content and community comments

Even if it's small, a real project has at least one public space where it shares its activities, answers questions, and builds relationships with its supporters.

Alert: An account that appears out of nowhere with 3 posts in 2 days and an urgent donation request is suspicious.

---

1. Seeking credible public support

A great sign is when other well-known users in the Bitcoin community (or on Nostr) endorse or support the project:

They share the campaign;

They respond to posts with enthusiasm or testimonials;

They contribute sats themselves;

You can send them a DM to ask, "Are you familiar with this project? Are they serious?"

---

1. View account history

Does this account have:

• Have you already run other campaigns in the past?
• Demonstrated concrete results?
• A long-standing audience?

Scams often have an empty history, or one that has been deliberately deleted.

If the account was recently created, it's an orange flag. It's not always a scam, but it's a good sign.

---

1. Beware of names that are too generic

Accounts like “Bitcoin_Charity,” “BTC_Hope4Africa,” or “SatoshiMissionHelp” that use generic, faceless names with no personal history or evidence of involvement are often lures to suck up your generosity.

---

In an open world like Nostr, trust must be earned, not granted automatically. Before you zap or send sats: check the footprints. A real project doesn't hide. It wants to be seen, recognized, supported... and verified.

---

---

Prefer traceable and public donations

One of the great advantages of Bitcoin is that every transaction is recorded on the blockchain. Yet, many BTC charitable projects fail to leverage this transparency potential… sometimes out of ignorance, sometimes intentionally.

If you want to give securely, you should prioritize tools and methods that allow clear tracking of your money.

---

1. Favors transparent platforms (Geyser, Zaprite, BTCPay, etc.)

These platforms allow:

• Track how much has been raised in real time
• Have a public address or QR code that everyone can see
• Sometimes even see who donated (if the donor makes it public)

And most importantly: the funds go directly into the creator's wallet, without an intermediary

Example: Geyser.fund shows how many sats have been raised, how many are left to reach, and sometimes even the expenses incurred.

---

1. Avoid isolated static addresses

When someone just gives you a Bitcoin address without any context or tools around it, you can't know:

• If others have already donated
• What's the status of the fundraising?
• What will happen with the funds received?

Even worse, an address can be reused for multiple different campaigns. No tracking, no limits.

Reminder: A scammer can also show a QR code with an emotional caption, collect in bulk, and then erase all traces.

---

1. Request a dedicated campaign address

A serious project can:

• Generate a unique address for each campaign or donor (via a wallet or BTCPay store)
• Or show you a link to a Bitcoin explorer to track inflows in real time

This allows you to verify that: - Your donation has been received - Funds are not being diverted for other purposes - And that other people are also contributing (proof of credibility)

---

1. Check expenses if possible

More and more projects are publishing:

• Captures of receipts or transfers
• Monthly reports
• Distribution videos

This allows donors to see how funds are being used, even in rural areas or without stable internet.

---

If a project doesn't want you to track donations, ask yourself why. In the Bitcoin ecosystem, transparency is a weapon against abuse. Use it, and encourage others to do the same.

---

Want to help? Great. But in the Bitcoin ecosystem, giving indiscriminately is like throwing your sats into a bottomless pit. Here's a clear list of best practices to avoid scams and support good causes with confidence and intelligence.

---

1. Never give under pressure

A real project:

• Don't rush.
• Don't create an artificial sense of urgency.
• Don't demand anything.

Golden rule: if you are pressured to skip "quickly" or "now or everything is ruined", it is suspicious.

---

1. Use reputable platforms

Before sending sats:

Check if the project is on Geyser.fund, Zaprite, BTCPayServer, or Tallycoin.

These platforms provide transparency, monitoring and protection.

If the project refuses to appear there "without valid reason", ask yourself questions.

---

1. Always check the source

Ask yourself these questions:

• Who is leading this campaign?
• How long has this person been active in the community?
• Does their history hold a consistent profile?
• Are they well-known on Nostr, X, Telegram, or elsewhere?

A reliable project has nothing to hide. It is findable, traceable, and responsive.

---

1. Don't rely on images or videos alone

A photo of a crying child or a dish being offered proves nothing. What you want to know:

• Did they take this photo?
• What's the connection to the campaign?
• Do they show several stages (preparation, distribution, follow-up)?

Scammers love beautiful stolen images, but never show the actual work.

---

1. Request a follow-up report or evidence

A serious project can easily provide you with:

• A link to a dedicated Bitcoin address
• A video or photo with a personalized message
• A receipt or proof of purchase

If they refuse or get offended by you for asking? Run away.

---

1. Share only verified projects

You are also responsible for what you share. By sharing a project without verifying:

• You're putting your credibility on the line.
• You risk causing others to lose sats.

Do your own research, even if you trust the person who sent you the link.

---

1. Start small

You can test a project with a small amount and observe:

• How they communicate after receiving it

• If they thank you

• If they keep you informed

It's a simple way to filter out the good guys from the opportunists.

---

In a free ecosystem like Bitcoin, there's no customer service, no refunds, no "cancel" button. Your only security is your vigilance. Give, but give wisely.

---

How to intelligently support genuine causes

Supporting charitable projects with Bitcoin doesn't have to be risky. On the contrary, it can be a powerful tool for spreading the values ​​of Bitcoin while genuinely helping people.

But for your help to have a real impact, it's not enough to just switch off and disappear. You have to be intelligently involved.

Here's how to become a helpful, strategic, and caring donor.

---

1. Be part of the project, not just the donation

The best donors are not those who give the most, but those who:

• ask questions,
• suggest ideas,
• share campaigns,
• encourage the founder,
• inform others.

In Bitcoin, we talk about community, not customers. Be an agent of change, not just a transaction number.

1. Favors projects with a long-term vision

A serious project speaks to you:

• education,
• sustainability,
• independence,
• integration of Bitcoin into local life.

He doesn't just give away rice or clothes. He wants to make people more autonomous, freer, and more connected to the decentralized economy.

Support projects that build, not just those that distribute.

1. Diversify your support

You can :

• Skip small projects regularly
• Support a campaign with a fixed monthly budget
• Offer your skills: design, writing, video, networking

Participate in a DAO or a coordinated donations collective

Bitcoin support isn't just about money. Your time and talent are also valuable.

1. Educate while you help

When you participate in a project, take the opportunity to:

• Explain to others how Bitcoin works
• Demonstrate the benefits of transparency through blockchain
• Raising awareness in your circle of the freedom offered by direct support in BTC

Education is the ultimate weapon against addiction and scams.

1. Create or join a reliable initiative

You can :

• Create your own small campaign with Geyser.fund or Zaprite
• Join a collective like Hope With Bitcoin or other communities on Nostr
• Offer to document an existing campaign

This is how sustainable projects are born: not with large anonymous donations, but with small, well-supported flames.

Donating Bitcoin is more than just a transfer. It's an affirmation of values. It's a statement:

“I choose to support causes without going through banks, without permission, without borders, with transparency and freedom.”

But for it to work, you need:

• Stay vigilant

• Demand clarity

• Foster human connections
• Build trust

Bitcoin is a tool of sovereignty. It deserves honest projects. It's up to us to protect them.

Together, let's discover Hope With Bitcoin: The project whose mission is to share smiles and hope with those in need, while raising awareness for Bitcoin adoption.

Introduction: The Challenge of Bitcoin-Secured Loans

Bitcoin holders often face a dilemma: they need liquidity but don't want to sell their assets, potentially missing out on future gains or triggering taxable events. Bitcoin-secured loans offer a solution, allowing users to borrow cash (like digital dollars) using their Bitcoin as collateral. However, the current landscape is fraught with challenges. Many existing solutions require users to trust centralized entities or involve complex mechanisms like wrapping Bitcoin, exposing them to significant risks:

• Custodial Risk: Handing over your Bitcoin to a third party means trusting they won't lose it, misuse it, or become insolvent. Billions have been lost this way.
• Smart Contract Risk: Platforms built on chains like Ethereum rely on complex smart contracts, which can contain bugs or vulnerabilities exploitable by hackers.
• Oracle Risk: Loan systems need reliable price feeds (oracles) to manage collateral. Centralized or manipulatable oracles can lead to unfair liquidations.
• Privacy Risk: Loan details and transactions are often publicly visible on the blockchain.
• Complexity and Cost: Existing processes can be slow, require extensive documentation, and involve high fees.

There's a clear need for a better way – one that is simple, reliable, and minimizes trust. This is where the Lava Loans Protocol comes in.

What is Lava Loans?

In simple terms, Lava Loans provides a way to borrow digital dollars using your native Bitcoin as collateral, directly from your own vault. It's designed to be:

• Simple & Fast: Get a loan in seconds with minimal questions asked.
• Low-Cost & Flexible: Offers competitive rates, dynamic fee structures, and allows borrowing any amount.
• Reliable & Trust-Minimized: Leverages Bitcoin's own capabilities to reduce reliance on intermediaries and enhance security.

How Lava Loans Addresses the Risks

Lava tackles the common pitfalls of crypto loans head-on:

• Eliminating Custodial Risk: Instead of transferring your Bitcoin to a custodian or wrapping it, Lava uses native Bitcoin locked directly on the Bitcoin network within a special type of contract. This prevents rehypothecation and loss through hacks or confiscation.
• Minimizing Smart Contract Risk: Lava utilizes Bitcoin smart contracts, also known as Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs). These are designed to be less complex and more secure than many general-purpose smart contracts, with outcomes pre-defined and formally verified.
• Reducing Oracle Risk: Users choose their own off-chain, blinded oracles (called Sibyls) for price data, with enhanced redundancy to ensure reliability. Off-chain attestations avoid high fees and miner manipulation risks associated with on-chain oracles. Blinded oracles provide price data without knowing the specific contract they influence, preventing targeted attacks.
• Enhancing Privacy: Because DLCs operate differently from typical public smart contracts, the details of the loan contract are not broadcast publicly on the Bitcoin blockchain.
• Trustless Initiation & Repayment: Atomic swaps ensure that collateral only moves to the contract once the loan is received, and collateral is automatically returned upon verified repayment.

The Magic Ingredients: DLCs and Sibyls Oracles

Two core technologies make Lava Loans unique:

1. Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs): Think of a DLC as a pre-programmed Bitcoin transaction agreed upon by the borrower and lender. Before the loan starts, they define all possible outcomes (e.g., repayment, liquidation at a specific price, expiry) and create encrypted signatures for each. The Bitcoin collateral is locked in a multisig output controlled by these pre-signed transactions. Only the conditions agreed upon (verified by oracle signatures) can unlock the funds according to the pre-defined rules. This offers:

   • Security: Formally verified, pre-defined outcomes minimize bug risk.
   • Privacy: Contract details remain off-chain.
   • Scalability: Minimal on-chain footprint as execution logic is off-chain.
   • Customization: Users can choose their own oracles and LTV thresholds.

2. Sibyls Oracles: These are the independent price feed providers for Lava. Key characteristics include:

   • Off-Chain: Attestations happen off-chain, avoiding blockchain fees and manipulation.
   • User-Chosen: Borrowers select the oracles they trust for each loan.
   • Blinded: Oracles provide signed price data without knowing the specific DLC it applies to, enhancing security.
   • Redundant: Multiple oracles can be configured to provide fallback price feeds, reducing the risk of oracle failure.

System Overview

Here's a high-level look at the components involved in the Lava Loans ecosystem:

[ Borrower ] --(locks Bitcoin)--> [ DLC Contract (Bitcoin) ] [ Lender ] --(sends stablecoins)--> [ Alt-Chain Contract (Solana) ] [ Oracles ] --(provides price)--> [ DLC Contract (Bitcoin) ] [ Borrower ] --(repays loan)--> [ Alt-Chain Contract (Solana) ] [ Lender ] --(claims collateral)--> [ DLC Contract (Bitcoin) ]

The Lava Loan Lifecycle

A loan progresses through several states:

• Initialized: A trustless atomic swap occurs. The borrower locks Bitcoin collateral into the DLC on the Bitcoin network, and the lender locks the loan capital (e.g., digital dollars on a network like Solana using HTLCs) which the borrower then claims.
• Active: The collateral is secured in the DLC, and the borrower has the loan capital. The Lava Protocol monitors the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio using price data from the chosen Sibyls oracles, with customizable LTV thresholds for greater flexibility.
• Terminated: The loan concludes in one of several ways:
  • Repaid: The borrower repays the loan capital plus interest on the loan asset network, with dynamic fees adjusting based on network conditions. Upon verification, the DLC automatically releases the Bitcoin collateral back to the borrower.
  • Liquidated: If the Bitcoin price drops and the LTV reaches a pre-determined threshold (now more flexible to avoid premature liquidations), the DLC automatically releases the collateral to the lender.
  • Expired: If the loan term ends before repayment, the DLC releases an amount equivalent to the principal plus interest to the lender, and the remaining collateral is returned to the borrower.
  • Fail-safe: In rare cases of unresponsive oracles, redundant Sibyls oracles and built-in mechanisms ensure collateral is not permanently lost.

Loan Process Sequence

The following diagram illustrates the typical sequence of events in a Lava Loan:

1. Borrower --> DLC: Create loan contract with collateral 2. Lender --> Alt-Chain: Fund loan with stablecoins 3. Borrower --> Alt-Chain: Receive and use stablecoins 4. (If repayment) 4a. Borrower --> Alt-Chain: Repay loan 4b. Lender --> Alt-Chain: Confirm repayment 4c. Borrower --> DLC: Claim collateral 5. (If liquidation) 5a. Oracle --> DLC: Provide price attestation 5b. Lender --> DLC: Claim collateral 6. (If expiry) 6a. Borrower/Lender --> DLC: Split collateral

Lava Loans vs. Other Bitcoin Lending Platforms: A Quick Comparison

How does Lava stack up against typical DeFi lending protocols and other Bitcoin lending platforms like Unchained, Strike, and Coinbase?

| Feature | Lava Loans (Bitcoin) | Typical Ethereum DeFi | Unchained | Strike | Coinbase | | :------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------- | | Collateral | Native Bitcoin | Often Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) or other assets | Native Bitcoin | Native Bitcoin | Native Bitcoin | | Contract Type | Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs) - Pre-agreed, Private | Smart Contracts - Public, Complex, Run on EVM | 2/3 Multisig Vaults | Custodial Contracts | Custodial Contracts | | Security | Aims for higher security via simpler, pre-set DLCs | Can be complex, potential for bugs/exploits | Secure via multisig, but relies on key holders | Custodial, less transparent | Custodial, less transparent | | Privacy | Higher privacy (contract details off-chain) | Lower privacy (contract interactions often public) | Moderate privacy (multisig details on-chain) | Lower privacy (custodial model) | Lower privacy (custodial model) | | Oracles | User-chosen, Off-chain, Blinded (Sibyls) | Often On-chain, potentially manipulatable | Not applicable (manual monitoring) | Centralized oracles | Centralized oracles | | Trust | Designed to minimize trust in intermediaries | Often requires trust in custodians, bridges, or protocols | Moderate trust (key holders could collude) | Higher trust (custodial, opaque practices) | Higher trust (custodial, opaque practices) | | Rehypothecation | No rehypothecation, verifiable on-chain via DLCs | Possible, depends on protocol | No rehypothecation, secured by multisig | Opaque, likely rehypothecated | Opaque, likely rehypothecated | | Interest Rates | Competitive, typically lower due to non-custodial model | Varies, often 5-10% for wBTC loans | 11-14% for non-rehypothecated loans | 12-13% (implies rehypothecation) | ~5-6% (implies rehypothecation) |

Lava leverages Bitcoin’s native capabilities and a specific oracle design to prioritize security, privacy, and trust minimization. Unlike Unchained, which uses a 2/3 multisig where two key holders could potentially collude, Lava’s DLCs ensure cryptographic proof of non-rehypothecation, verifiable on-chain in real time. Strike and Coinbase, being custodial, lack transparency about rehypothecation practices, with market rates suggesting they rehypothecate collateral. The v3 protocol introduces dynamic fee adjustments and more flexible LTV thresholds, reducing premature liquidations and optimizing costs based on network conditions.

Conclusion

Lava Loans presents a compelling option for those seeking liquidity against their Bitcoin holdings without sacrificing security or control. By utilizing Discreet Log Contracts, a user-centric, blinded oracle system (Sibyls) with enhanced redundancy, and new features like dynamic fees and flexible LTV thresholds, Lava provides a simple, reliable, and trust-minimized borrowing experience. These advancements directly address the major pain points found in many existing centralized and decentralized lending platforms.

Just an observation that makes me chuckle.

Money has always been more than a medium of exchange. It reflects what societies value, how they organize trust, and what they choose to remember. This article explores the idea that money functions as a form of collective memory, and how Bitcoin may be restoring this role in a new way.

The Asante Example

In the Asante Empire, which flourished in West Africa during the 18th and 19th centuries, gold dust served as the primary medium of exchange. To measure it, traders used ornate spoons made of brass. These spoons were often carved with birds, animals, or abstract symbols. They were not currency themselves, but tools used to handle gold dust accurately.

Importantly, these spoons also carried meaning. Symbols and proverbs embedded in the spoons conveyed lessons about honesty, community, and continuity. For example, the Sankofa bird, shown turning its head backward to retrieve an egg from its back, represented the proverb, “It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.” This was a reminder to learn from the past.

The spoons reflect an understanding that money and its instruments are not just practical tools. They are cultural artifacts that store shared values. In the Asante context, even measurement was ritualized and tied to ethics and memory.

Money as a Cultural Medium

This connection between money and cultural meaning is not unique to the Asante Empire. Modern fiat currencies also carry symbols, phrases, and designs that reflect national identity and political values.

The U.S. dollar includes Latin phrases and national symbols meant to convey stability and purpose. The British pound features royal iconography, reinforcing the idea of continuity and sovereignty. When the euro was introduced, it deliberately avoided specific national references. Itsdesign used bridges and windowsto suggest openness and cooperation across the continent.

These design choices show that societies still embed meaning into their money. Even in a digital or fiat context, money is used to transmit a story about who we are, where authority lies, and what we value.

The Fragility of Fiat Memory

While fiat money carries cultural symbols, the narratives behind those symbols can be fragile.

In 2021, the central bank of the Philippines removed democratic leaders from its banknotes,triggering public criticism. In the United States, attempts to replace Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman on the $20 billfaced repeated delays. These examples show how political control over money includes control over what stories are told and remembered.

Unlike objects passed down through generations, fiat memory can be edited or erased. In this sense, it is vulnerable. The meaning encoded in fiat systems can shift depending on who holds power.

Bitcoin as a New Form of Memory

Bitcoin is described as digital money. But it also introduces a different model of how societies can record value and preserve meaning.

The Bitcoin network launched in 2009 with a small message embedded in its first block: “Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.” This was a reference to a newspaper headline that day and a clear sign of protest against financial bailouts, centralized monetary policy, and forever wars.

This moment marked the beginning of a system where memory is stored differently. Instead of relying on governments or institutions, Bitcoin stores its history on a public ledger maintained by a decentralized network of participants. Its memory is not symbolic or political; it is structural. Every transaction, every block, is preserved through time-stamped computation and consensus.

No single authority can change it. The rules are clear and publicly auditable. In this way, Bitcoin offers a version of money where memory is both neutral and resilient.

Cultural Expression and Community Values

Even though Bitcoin lacks the traditional symbols found on banknotes, it has developed its own culture. Phrases like “Don’t trust, verify” or “Stay humble, stack sats” are shared widely in the Bitcoin community. These ideas reflect a focus on self-responsibility, verification, and long-term thinking.

These proverbs can be compared to the carved messages on the Asante spoons. While the contexts are very different, the underlying idea is similar: a community using language and symbols to reinforce its shared values.

Bitcoin also has a well established and growing art scene. Bitcoin conferences often feature dedicated sections for art inspired by the protocol and its culture. Statues of Satoshi Nakamoto have been installed in cities like Budapest, Lugano, and Fornelli. These physical works reflect the desire to link Bitcoin’s abstract values to something tangible.

Looking Back to Look Forward

The Asante example helps us see that money has long been tied to memory and meaning. Their spoons were practical tools but also cultural anchors. Bitcoin, while new and digital, may be playing a similar role.

Instead of relying on political symbols or national myths, Bitcoin uses code, transparency, and global consensus to create trust. In doing so, it offers a way to preserve economic memory that does not depend on power or politics.

It’s still early to know what kind of legacy Bitcoin will leave. But if it succeeds, it may not just change how money works. It may also change how civilizations remember.

Good morning, readers!

This week, we bring reports from Bangladesh, where the interim government instructed the central bank to halt the printing of old banknotes featuring Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding president of Bangladesh. This has induced a currency shortage, as new notes have yet to be issued to replace the discontinued ones. As a result, Bangladeshis find themselves holding worthless currency, facing increased costs, and feeling frustrated over such poor currency management. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, citizens are fleeing to gold as the local rupiah currency crashes to record lows amid increasing financial controls from the government.

In open-source news, LNbits, a Bitcoin and Lightning wallet management software, emerged from beta with its v1.0.0 release. LNbits works like a control panel on top of a Bitcoin wallet, letting users divide funds into separate accounts and use different features and functionalities. It is a handy tool for educators, civil society organizations, and communities who want to use Bitcoin for real-world transactions without needing advanced technical skills. We also spotlight a new tool called following .space that allows users to curate and share premade follow packs for nostr. The result is a more straightforward onboarding process for new users interested in censorship-resistant social media and the ability to curate feeds to better suit their interests.

We end with an interview with HRF Chief Strategy Officer Alex Gladstein, who explores his thinking behind the relationship between Bitcoin and human rights as we enter an age of increased corporate and nation-state adoption. He highlights the paradox where Bitcoin, a tool for individual financial freedom, is being adopted by institutions around the world, many of which regularly seek greater control over financial activity. We also include a new report from Bitcoin developer and past HRF grantee, b10c, who documents the current state of Bitcoin mining centralization and the threat it poses to decentralization and censorship resistance.

Now, let’s jump right in!

GLOBAL NEWS

Bangladesh | Currency Shortage as Central Bank Halts Printing of Banknotes

A state-induced cash crunch is paralyzing Bangladesh after the interim government, led by Muhammad Yunus, ordered the central bank to discontinue old banknotes featuring Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding president of Bangladesh. New cash is expected to be printed in phases beginning in May. But Bangladeshis report they are currently stuck with old and unusable currency, as the national mint has yet to issue replacement currency and lacks the capacity to print more than three notes at a time. Meanwhile, public ATMs continue to dispense old and worn-out banknotes, with merchants reluctantly accepting them and banks refusing to exchange them. Through all this, the central bank of Bangladesh sits on nearly 15,000 crore taka ($1.28 billion) worth of old notes in vaults, but the interim government has refused to release them, deepening public frustration.

Nigeria | Regulates Bitcoin as a Security

Nigerian lawmakers are moving to regulate digital assets as securities by passing the Investment and Securities Act (ISA) 2025. Rather than embrace it as a tool for financial freedom, the law places Bitcoin under the purview of the Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Companies must now register with the Nigerian SEC, implement more strict data-collection processes (to harvest personal information), and navigate a legal framework not designed for a borderless and permissionless technology like Bitcoin. The law further grants the SEC access to data from telecom and Internet providers to investigate “illegal market activity” — a provision that could easily be abused to surveil or intimidate Bitcoin users and developers. Nigeria routinely uses regulations to stifle the presence of open-source money, raising compliance hurdles, imposing taxes, and punishing digital asset companies. It’s not unreasonable to suspect this new classification could provide the state with a means to suppress the free adoption and innovation of Bitcoin.

Indonesia | Gold Rush Amid Economic Uncertainty

As the rupiah currency falls to record lows, Indonesians are flocking to gold in a rush to protect their savings. But gold isn’t the only safe haven. With 74% of Indonesia’s population unbanked or underbanked, digital tools like Bitcoin offer a more accessible alternative, especially when nearly 70% of Indonesians have Internet access. The Indonesian government is also tightening capital controls. A new policy forces exporters to keep all foreign currency earnings inside the country for a full year to trap dollars in the financial system. HRF grantee Bitcoin Indonesia is responding by helping people in the region (especially in nearby states like Burma) build financial resilience through meetups, workshops, and training focused on Bitcoin custody, privacy, and adoption. In an area where financial services remain out of reach for millions, learning how to save and transact permissionlessly is paramount.

Kenya | Introduces Legal Framework for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs)

Kenya’s government introduced a comprehensive legal framework to regulate Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) through its newly proposed 2025 VASP Bill. The legislation outlines strict licensing requirements for digital asset exchanges, wallet providers, brokers, and other digital asset firms. It functionally bars individuals from operating independently (think: open-source freedom tech builders) by mandating local incorporation, compliance with cybersecurity standards, and approval from financial regulators. This appears to be an attempt to formalize and better control the rapidly growing digital asset space. It could stifle grassroots innovation and limit access to financial tools that have become vital for activists and citizens seeking privacy and autonomy as economic policies and high inflation drive unrest.

El Salvador | Attorney General’s Office Preparing Arrest Warrants for Independent Journalists

El Faro, one of El Salvador’s most prominent investigative news outlets, shared reliable information that the Salvadoran Attorney General’s Office is preparing arrest warrants against three of its journalists. The warning came from El Faro director Carlos Dada, who suggests that the charges may include “apology for crimes” and “illicit association.” The alleged charges allegedly stem from El Faro’s latest reporting: a three-part video interview with former leaders of the 18th Street Revolucionarios gang that sheds light on Bukele’s “years-long relationship” with Salvadoran gangs. El Faro editor-in-chief Óscar Martínez said that any arrests or home raids following this news would be “for having done journalism.” With El Salvador’s shrinking civic space, this potential action against independent media would further restrict Salvadorans’ ability to access independent information and hold officials accountable.

BITCOIN AND FREEDOM TECH NEWS

LNbits | Emerges from Beta with v1.0.0 Release

LNbits, an open-source software tool that lets people create and manage Bitcoin Lightning wallets securely for themselves and for others, officially launched version 1.0.0, marking its transition out of beta and into a more stable release for public use. It works like a control panel sitting on top of a Bitcoin wallet, letting users divide funds into separate accounts and use different features and functionalities. LNbits is especially useful for educators, small businesses, and community organizers who want to use and manage Bitcoin for payments and savings. HRF is pleased to see this Bitcoin Development Fund (BDF) grantee strengthen the tools available to activists to achieve financial freedom in the face of censorship, surveillance, or inflation.

SeedSigner | Self-Custody Tool for Chinese Bitcoiners Facing Local Corruption

Chinese Bitcoin users are turning to SeedSigner, an open-source and fully customizable Bitcoin hardware wallet, as a more private way to protect their savings from law enforcement corruption. While many assume the primary threat to Bitcoin in China comes from top-down management and enforcement from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), new reports suggest greater concern over the police, who regularly monitor mail, detect hardware wallet purchases, and fabricate charges to extort Chinese users’ Bitcoin. SeedSigner solves this by allowing users to assemble a secure signing device from generic, inexpensive parts, avoiding the risk of shipping a branded wallet that might flag them as a target. When privacy violations begin at the local level, SeedSigner can help citizens safeguard their financial freedom by making secure self-custody discreet, accessible, and affordable.

Following .space | Create and Share Follow Packs on Nostr

Following.space is a new tool for nostr that solves one of the protocol’s biggest pain points: finding people worth following in the absence of an algorithm. Created by developer and HRF grantee Calle, the tool lets anyone build and share curated “follow packs” — pre-made lists of nostr users that can be easily distributed across the web. The lists are customizable and can be made based on shared interests, communities, organizations, regions, and more. This makes onboarding new users easier and allows users to curate their feeds to suit their interests. The result is a simple but powerful tool that helps nostr scale more organically by encouraging natural discovery. Enabling free expression and connections without reliance on centralized platforms strengthens human rights and financial freedom in repressive environments. Try it here.

256 Foundation | Releases Ember One Source Code

The 256 Foundation, an open-source Bitcoin mining initiative, released the source code of its new Ember One Bitcoin mining hashboard to the public. A Bitcoin hashboard is a device with multiple chips for performing Bitcoin mining computations. The open-source Ember One only consumes 100 Watts of total power and is modular by design, allowing user customization and the ability to mine discreetly even under autocratic regimes. This is important because it gives individuals a way to access and earn Bitcoin without drawing the attention of officials. For dissidents, mining at home means gaining more control over how they earn, spend, and store their money, all without relying on centralized systems at the whims of dictators.

Btrust and Africa Free Routing | Announce Partnership to Advance African Bitcoin Development

Btrust, a nonprofit advancing Bitcoin development in Africa, awarded a grant to Africa Free Routing, a program within African Bitcoiners, to support five Bitcoin Lightning-focused developer boot camps across the continent in 2025. These bootcamps aim to onboard non-Bitcoin developers into the Bitcoin ecosystem, offering hands-on training, mentorship, and opportunities to contribute to open-source projects. This work strengthens the foundations of freedom tech in Africa, providing tools that allow people to resist financial repression under tyranny. Learn more about the partnership here.

Presidio Bitcoin | Hosting First Hackathon

Presidio Bitcoin, the Bay Area’s first dedicated freedom tech co-working and events space, just announced its first-ever hackathon, which will take place from May 16-17, 2025. This 24-hour hackathon in San Francisco brings together developers and technologists to build and collaborate at the frontier of Bitcoin, AI, and open-source technology. In addition to the hackathon, Presidio is launching a new program offering free three-month access to its workspace for Bitcoin open-source contributors. This is a valuable opportunity to connect with fellow developers, startup founders, and freedom tech advocates in the area. HRF is proud to sponsor this hackathon and is looking forward to how the outcomes might help create better freedom tools for dissidents worldwide. Learn more about the event here.

Bitcoin Nation State Adoption Paradox - Interview with Alex Gladstein

In a recent episode of the Bitcoin Fundamentals podcast, hosted by Preston Pysh, Alex Gladstein, HRF’s chief strategy officer, discusses the complexities of Bitcoin’s new era of adoption. He highlights the paradox where Bitcoin, a tool for individual financial freedom, is being adopted by governments, which some believe to be potentially compromising to its core principles. He emphasizes that while governments may adopt it for strategic or economic reasons, in doing so, they expose their populations to a technology that will ultimately weaken state control over money and advance individual liberty and human rights. Watch the full interview here.

Bitcoin Mining Centralization by b10c

In this report, Bitcoin developer and past HRF grantee b10c documents the growing trend of centralization in Bitcoin mining pools. It shows that over 95% of blocks are now mined by just six Bitcoin mining pools, with Foundry and AntPool controlling roughly 60–70% of the hashrate (the computing power dedicated to the Bitcoin network). This marks a rise in mining pool centralization in recent years. While this hasn’t harmed Bitcoin’s censorship resistance yet, it reduces the number of block template producers. This concentration of template producers poses a potential risk to Bitcoin’s neutrality, which is essential for ensuring access to uncensorable money and protecting human rights in autocratic regimes. HRF has happily supported both Hashpool and Public Pool with recent grants to support smaller, independent pools that help preserve Bitcoin's decentralization. Read the full report here.

Bitcoin operates through a decentralized system that relies on a process called mining to validate transactions and secure the network. However, Bitcoin mining requires a large amount of energy, which raises concerns about its environmental impact. Although there are solutions to make this process more sustainable, energy consumption remains a topic of debate among both critics and advocates of the technology.

How does Bitcoin mining work?

Bitcoin mining is the process by which new blocks are added to the blockchain (or timechain) and new coins are created. This process uses a mechanism called proof-of-work, where specialized computers (miners) compete to solve complex mathematical problems. To do this, they consume a huge amount of electricity, as the equipment must operate continuously to keep the network secure and decentralized.

• Energy consumption and environmental impact

The main criticism of Bitcoin mining is its high electricity consumption. Currently, it is estimated that the Bitcoin network consumes as much energy as some entire countries. This raises environmental concerns, as much of the world's electricity is still generated from fossil fuels, which emit polluting gases.

The environmental impacts of Bitcoin mining include:

01 - Carbon Emissions: If the electricity used for mining comes from polluting sources, the process contributes to increased CO₂ emissions, intensifying global warming.

02 - Excessive Use of Natural Resources: Large-scale mining can strain local power grids and increase demand for electricity, leading to higher fossil fuel consumption in some regions.

03 - Electronic Waste Production: Mining equipment has a relatively short lifespan, which leads to the generation of large amounts of electronic waste.

• Alternatives and sustainable solutions

Despite these concerns, Bitcoin mining is becoming increasingly efficient and sustainable. Many mining operations already use renewable energy sources such as hydroelectric, solar, and wind, significantly reducing their ecological footprint. Some solutions include:

01 - Use of Renewable Energy: Miners are relocating to regions with excess renewable energy production, taking advantage of resources that would otherwise be wasted.

02 - Recycling Heat Generated by Mining: Some companies are using the heat produced by mining equipment to warm buildings and infrastructure, making more efficient use of the energy.

03 - Technological Innovations: The development of new chips and more efficient equipment reduces the energy consumption of mining without compromising network security.

In summary, the environmental impact of Bitcoin mining is a controversial issue, but solutions to make the process more sustainable are rapidly evolving. While energy consumption remains high, the shift toward renewable energy sources and new technologies could make Bitcoin a more efficient and environmentally friendly system. Thus, the issue is not merely the amount of electricity consumed, but the origin of that energy and the innovations making mining increasingly sustainable.

Thank you very much for reading this far. I hope everything is well with you, and sending a big hug from your favorite Bitcoiner maximalist from Madeira. Long live freedom!

This is the 2nd article I've written regarding my thoughts around the nostr health and fitness ecosystem and how something like NIP101h could play a part in enabling an ecosystem of highly specialized apps benefiting from nostr inherent interoperability. I've posted the last article on Wikistr and have continued experimenting with the NIP in a couple of clients. Recently I've been focused on extending the NIP to include calories and workout intensity.

Caloric Data

Let's talk about calories for a minute. Seems simple, right? You burn some, you consume some. But as I started implementing kind 1357 for caloric data, I quickly realized this was too simplistic.

The reality is tracking calories burned through a 10K run is fundamentally different from logging the calories in your morning avocado toast. Different contexts, different metadata, different user flows. Trying to cram both into one kind felt like forcing a square peg through a round hole.

So I split them: - Kind 1357: Calories expended (your run, your workout, even just existing) - Kind 2357: Calories consumed (your meals, snacks, that beer you "forgot" to log)

This wasn't just a technical decision. It reflects how people actually think about and track their health. Nobody mentally lumps "I burned 350 calories on my run" with "I ate a 650 calorie lunch" as the same type of data point. They're related but distinct.

Workout Intensity

Speaking of workouts, RUNSTR has been sending workout data for a while now, but workout intensity (kind 1356) is something I've been particularly excited about.

Why? Because intensity is the secret sauce that makes fitness data meaningful. Two people can run the same distance, but one might be casually jogging while catching up on podcasts, and another might be doing high-intensity intervals that leave them gasping for air.

Same distance, totally different physiological impacts.

Intensity gives context to duration. It turns "I worked out for 45 minutes" into a meaningful metric about how hard you pushed. And this isn't just for the fitness obsessed—it's essential for things like heart rate zone training, progressive overload, and recovery monitoring.

The Bigger Vision: Why I'm Building This

I'm not building NIP-101h because I think the world needs another fitness standard. God knows there are plenty already. I'm building it because I believe health data belongs to people, not platforms.

Right now, your Apple Health data lives in Apple's ecosystem. Your Fitbit data lives in Fitbit's walled garden. Your Strava data? Yep, siloed there too. These companies have built incredible products, but they've also created digital gulags.

Nostr gives us a chance to flip the script. What if your health data lived on the internet rather than the platform? What if you could: - Track your runs in RUNSTR - Encrypt sensitive data - Store data in relays or blossom servers - Use the data across an open ecosystem of interoperable apps

...all without asking permission from some corporate overlord?

That's pretty much the vision. I've also spun up HealthNote Relay to support some of the new NIPs and Kinds while I continue to flesh out NIP-101h.

The Power of Specialization

One thing I've realized is that the real magic happens when we get specific. A diabetes management app needs different data structures than a strength training app. But they both benefit from a common language for the overlap.

So I'm intentionally designing the NIP-101h series as a collection of highly specialized kinds rather than a monolithic standard. This lets developers pick and choose exactly what they need, while still ensuring interoperability where it matters.

Take our calorie example—by splitting into two kinds, we allow for specialized nutrition tracking apps that might never care about workout calories, while still ensuring they can talk to fitness apps when needed.

What's Coming Next

I've got a growing list of kinds I want to tackle: - Sleep data (duration, quality, phases) - Strength training specifics (sets, reps, weight) - Hydration tracking - Mental health metrics

But I'm equally excited to see what others build. Maybe someone will create specialized kinds for pregnancy tracking, or chronic illness management, or physical therapy progress.

That's the beauty of this approach—I don't need to anticipate every use case. The framework lets the community evolve it organically.

Join the Health Data Revolution

If you're a developer interested in health and fitness on Nostr, I'd love to hear from you. What kinds would help your use case? What are you building? What am I missing?

And if you're just a Nostr user who cares about your health data, check out RUNSTR (Alpha) or Npub.health (super alpha) to see what we're building.

You can find information the specification here NIP 101h.

See you in volume three, where I'll dig into NIP101h format details and share what I've learned from the early experiments.

Lets Go!

There are so many projects in the bitcoin space that deserve praise but I just wanna shout out Cashu.me. Its a browser based cashu (eCash / Lighting) wallet. It can be very handy when you need a wallet but don't wanna download yet another app. I hadn't used it in a very long time and decided to try it out again the other day. Its really well done.

As with other Cashu wallets you need to select a mint and backup your key phrase but it is very simple the get started.

If you wanna learn more about Cashu check out Cashu.space

Two other good wallets that support Cashu.

เฮียไม่แน่ใจว่าโลกยุคนี้มันเปลี่ยนไป หรือแค่เล่ห์กลมันแนบเนียนขึ้น แต่ที่แน่ ๆ คือ “อาหารไม่ใช่อาหารอีกต่อไป” มันกลายเป็นสินค้าในพอร์ตการลงทุน มันกลายเป็นเครื่องมือสร้างภาพลักษณ์ และในบางมุมที่คนไม่อยากมอง...มันคือเครื่องมือควบคุมมวลชน

ทุกอย่างเริ่มจากแนวคิดที่ดูดี “เราต้องผลิตอาหารให้พอเลี้ยงคน 8,000 ล้านคน” จากนั้นบริษัทเทคโนโลยีเริ่มกระโดดเข้ามา แทนที่จะให้เกษตรกรปลูกผักเลี้ยงวัว เรากลับได้เห็นบริษัทวิเคราะห์ดีเอ็นเอของจุลินทรีย์ แล้วขายโปรตีนจากถังหมัก แทนที่จะสนับสนุนอาหารพื้นบ้าน กลับอัดเงินให้สตาร์ทอัพทำเบอร์เกอร์ที่ไม่มีเนื้อจริงแม้แต่เส้นใยเดียว

เบื้องหลังมันมี “ทุน” และทุนเหล่านี้ไม่ใช่แค่ผู้ผลิตอาหาร แต่พ่วงไปถึงบริษัทยา บริษัทวัคซีน บริษัทเทคโนโลยี บางเจ้ามีทั้งบริษัทยา + ธุรกิจฟาร์มแมลง + บริษัทลงทุนในบริษัทวิจัยพันธุกรรม แปลว่า...คนที่ขายยาให้เฮียเวลาเฮียป่วย อาจเป็นคนเดียวกับที่ขาย "อาหารที่ทำให้เฮียป่วย" ตั้งแต่แรก ตลกร้ายไหมหล่ะ หึหึหึ

เคยมีใครสังเกตไหม ว่าองค์การระดับโลกบางองค์กรที่ส่งเสริม "เนื้อทางเลือก" และ "อาหารยั่งยืน" ได้รับเงินบริจาคหรืออยู่ภายใต้บอร์ดของบริษัทผลิตอาหารอุตสาหกรรมเจ้าใหญ่ไหมนะ แล้วคำว่า “วิทยาศาสตร์รองรับ” ที่ติดบนฉลากสวย ๆ เฮียไม่รู้หรอกว่าใครเป็นคนตีความ แต่ที่รู้แน่ ๆ คือ บทวิจัยจำนวนไม่น้อย มาจากทุนวิจัยที่สนับสนุนโดยอุตสาหกรรมอาหารเอง ดั่งเช่นที่เราเรียนรู้กันมาจากประวัติศาสตร์แล้ว

มีคนเคยพูดไว้ว่า “เราควบคุมคนด้วยอาหารง่ายกว่าด้วยอาวุธ” และเฮียเริ่มเชื่อขึ้นเรื่อย ๆ เพราะถ้าบริษัทใดบริษัทหนึ่ง ควบคุมได้ทั้งอาหาร ยา ข้อมูลสุขภาพ และการวิจัย นั่นหมายความว่า เขาไม่ได้ขายของให้เฮีย แต่เขากำหนดว่าเฮียควร “อยากกินอะไร” และ “รู้สึกผิดกับอะไร”

เหมือนที่ให้ลองจินตนาการเล่น ๆ เมื่อวาน สมมติเฮียไปร้านข้าวมันไก่ปากซอยแบบดั้งเดิม สั่งไก่ต้มไม่เอาข้าวมากิน แล้วแอปสุขภาพขึ้นข้อความเตือนว่า “ไขมันสูง ส่งผลต่อคะแนนสุขภาพคุณ” แต่ถ้าเฮียสั่งข้าวกล่องสำเร็จรูปอัจฉริยะจากโปรตีนที่หมักจากจุลินทรีย์ GMO ระบบจะบอกว่า “คุณกำลังช่วยลดโลกร้อน” แล้วเพิ่มคะแนนสุขภาพให้เราไปเป็นส่วนลดครั้งต่อไป

ใครนิยามคำว่า “ดี” ให้เฮีย?

เบื้องหลังอาหารจึงไม่ใช่แค่โรงงาน แต่มันคือโครงข่ายที่พัวพันตั้งแต่ห้องแล็บ ห้องบอร์ด ไปจนถึงห้องครัวในบ้านเรา แล้วถ้าเราไม่ตั้งคำถาม เฮียกลัวว่าเราจะไม่ได้กินในสิ่งที่ร่างกายต้องการ แต่กินในสิ่งที่ “ระบบ” ต้องการให้เรากิน

ขอบคุณล่วงหน้าที่มองว่าสิ่งนี้คือการ แพนิคไปเอง ขอให้มีสุขสวัสดิ์

Decentralized social media platforms like Yakinhonne is gaining popularity as alternatives to traditional networks like Facebook and Twitter. But here’s the big question: Can you actually make money from them?

Unlike traditional social media with the likes of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp etc. Yakihonne runs on blockchain tech, meaning:

✅ You own your content (no shadow banning or sudden account bans).
✅ No creepy ads tracking your every move.
✅ Real monetization no waiting for a partner program approval.

Therefore the short answer? Yes! But it’s different from how monetization works on mainstream platforms. Let’s break it down in simple terms.

1. How Decentralized Social Media Works Unlike Facebook or Instagram (which are owned by corporations), decentralized platforms run on blockchain or peer to peer networks. This means:
   ✅ No central control (no Zuckerberg making the rules).
   ✅ Users own their data (no creepy ads tracking you).
   ✅ More freedom (fewer bans and censorship).

But since these platforms don’t rely on ads, how do creators and users earn money?

2. Ways to earn on Yakinhonne Decentralized Social Media Platform.

A. Rewards & Tipping ✅ Users can tip you in crypto SAT (Satoshi, which is a native of Bitcoin) for great content.

✅ Earn tokens for engagement (likes, shares, etc.).

Example: Post a viral thread on Yakinhonne and followers might send you $SAT Tokens as appreciation.

B. Paid Subscriptions & Exclusive Content

✅ Platforms like Yakinhonne allow paid memberships.
✅ Offer premium posts (Flash news or post), private chats, or early access to supporters.

Example: A writer post a paid article making it stand out, attracting more engagement which in returns earns more SAT.

C. Decentralized Ads (But Better)

✅Instead of intrusive ads, users opt-in to promotions.
✅ Creators get paid directly for promoting products (no middleman).

Example: A tech reviewer gets paid in crypto for sharing a decentralized VPN service.

D. Affiliate Marketing & Sponsorships

@ 90c656ff:9383fd4e

Bitcoin is known for its strong volatility, with price swings that can occur over short periods of time. This characteristic attracts both investors seeking high returns and deters those who prefer more stable assets. Bitcoin's price volatility has a significant impact on the market, influencing investment strategies, adoption, and even public perception of the digital currency.

What Causes Bitcoin's Price Volatility?

Bitcoin’s volatility is due to several factors that affect its supply and demand. Among the main reasons are:

01 - Limited supply and halving: Bitcoin has a maximum supply of 21 million units, creating scarcity. Additionally, the halving-an event that reduces the issuance of new bitcoins every four years-can drive up prices due to the reduced supply.

02 - Market speculation: Many investors buy and sell Bitcoin in pursuit of quick profits, causing large price fluctuations. Speculative movements, often driven by news and social media, can trigger abrupt changes in price.

03 - Economic events and regulation: Government decisions-such as bans or favorable regulations-directly impact the price. Statements from central banks or influential figures in the financial sector can also trigger strong market reactions.

04 - Liquidity and trading volume: The Bitcoin market is still small compared to traditional assets like gold or stocks. This means that large buy or sell orders can cause significant price swings.

• Impact on Investors and “Investors”

Bitcoin’s price volatility affects different types of investors in different ways:

01 - Short-term traders: Day traders attempt to profit from price swings. However, this strategy carries high risks and can lead to significant losses for those without market experience.

02 - Long-term investors (HODLers): Those who invest with a long-term perspective typically ignore daily price changes and focus on Bitcoin's potential appreciation over the years. Despite temporary dips, many believe the price will continue to rise due to scarcity and increasing adoption.

03 - Companies and institutions: Companies investing in Bitcoin as a store of value-like MicroStrategy and Tesla, must manage the risks of volatility. Some adopt strategies to minimize direct exposure to large fluctuations.

• How to deal with volatility

Despite the challenges, there are strategic ways to manage Bitcoin’s volatility:

01 - Portfolio diversification: Instead of investing all capital in Bitcoin, many investors diversify to reduce the impact of price fluctuations.

02 - Recurring investment: Strategies like dollar-cost averaging (recurring, fractional purchases) help smooth out volatility effects, reducing the risk of buying during a temporary high.

03 - Secure storage: Rather than leaving Bitcoin on exchanges—which can be vulnerable to hacks and market manipulation—self-custody in secure wallets protects long-term investments.

In summary, Bitcoin's volatility is one of its defining traits and influences both investor behavior and broader adoption. While it offers opportunities for large profits, it also carries considerable risk, requiring well-defined strategies to minimize losses. As Bitcoin matures and more institutional investors enter the market, volatility may decrease, making it even more attractive as a store of value.

งาน Bitcoin++ ประจำปี 2025 ที่จัดขึ้นที่เมืองออสติน รัฐเท็กซัส เป็นการรวมตัวของนักพัฒนา Bitcoin ที่เจาะลึกในประเด็นทางเทคนิค โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งเรื่อง Mempool, Transaction Relay และ Mining Pools หัวข้อเหล่านี้ถูกเน้นย้ำว่าเป็นหัวข้อที่น่าสนใจและเป็นที่ถกเถียงกัน เป้าหมายหลักของงานคือเพื่อให้เหล่านักพัฒนาและผู้สร้างสรรค์ได้แบ่งปันสิ่งที่พวกเขากำลังทำอยู่ เรียนรู้เกี่ยวกับความท้าทายในการนำ Transaction เข้าสู่ Block และการปรับปรุง Bitcoin รวมถึงส่งเสริมการเติบโตของชุมชน Open-Source

งานในปีนี้เป็นครั้งแรกที่มุ่งเน้นไปที่ Mempool และ Transaction Relay โดยเฉพาะ ซึ่งเกี่ยวข้องโดยตรงกับการสร้าง Block Mempool ถูกมองว่าเป็นพื้นที่ส่วนรวม (commons) และเป็นตลาดประมูลที่เสรีและเปิดกว้างที่สุดแห่งหนึ่งของโลก ที่ซึ่งใครก็ตามที่เป็นเจ้าของ Bitcoin สามารถเสนอราคา (ค่าธรรมเนียม) และใครก็ตามที่ขุด Bitcoin ก็สามารถยอมรับราคานั้นและนำ Transaction เข้า Block ได้ แม้ว่ากระบวนการนี้จะมีความท้าทายและบางครั้งก็เป็นที่ถกเถียงกัน แต่ Bitcoin ยังคงทำงานเป็นระบบแบบอนาธิปไตย (anarchic system) ที่การพัฒนาเกิดขึ้นในลักษณะกระจายศูนย์

ประเด็นร้อน: OP_RETURN และการถกเถียงเรื่อง Data Carrier

หนึ่งในประเด็นหลักที่ถูกกล่าวถึงและมีการจัดดีเบตแบบ Oxford-style คือเรื่องขีดจำกัดของ Data Carrier ใน OP_RETURN โดยเฉพาะการถกเถียงเรื่องการปลดขีดจำกัดค่าเริ่มต้นใน Bitcoin Core การถกเถียงนี้สะท้อนให้เห็นถึงความตึงเครียดระหว่างกลุ่มที่เรียกว่า "Monetary Maximalists" ซึ่งต้องการให้ Bitcoin เป็นเงินที่ดีที่สุด กับกลุ่ม "Platform Maximalists" ที่ต้องการให้ Bitcoin สามารถทำสิ่งต่างๆ ที่ไม่เกี่ยวข้องกับเงินได้มากขึ้น เช่น การออก Token บน Bitcoin

ฝ่ายที่สนับสนุนการปลดขีดจำกัดแย้งว่ามันเป็นปัญหาทางเทคนิคที่ไม่มีวิธีที่มีหลักการในการป้องกันอย่างแท้จริงในระดับ Consensus การพยายามใช้ Filter ใน Mempool เพื่อป้องกันนั้นไม่สามารถทำได้อย่างสมบูรณ์ และผู้ใช้สามารถหาวิธีหลีกเลี่ยงได้ การปลดขีดจำกัดอาจช่วยลดการสร้าง UTXO ที่ใช้ไม่ได้ (unspendable UTXOs) ซึ่งเป็นสิ่งที่แย่กว่า OP_RETURN และจะช่วยประหยัดเวลาของนักพัฒนาจากการโต้เถียงในเรื่องเล็กๆ น้อยๆ

ขณะที่ฝ่ายคัดค้านการปลดขีดจำกัดยืนยันว่า Filter ใน Mempool ทำงานได้ผลในการยับยั้งการใช้ OP_RETURN สำหรับข้อมูลที่ไม่ใช่ทางการเงิน และการปลดขีดจำกัดจะเป็นการทำลาย Filter ที่มีอยู่ พวกเขาแย้งว่า Bitcoin ถูกออกแบบมาให้เป็นระบบการเงิน ไม่ใช่ฐานข้อมูลสำหรับเก็บข้อมูลตามอำเภอใจ การอนุญาตให้เก็บข้อมูลที่ไม่ใช่ทางการเงินจำนวนมากจะทำให้ Transaction ของผู้ใช้ทั่วไปมีค่าใช้จ่ายสูงขึ้น และเป็นการ "ขาย Bitcoin ให้กับผู้ที่เสนอราคาสูงสุด" ซึ่งอาจนำไปสู่การบ่อนทำลายโดยผู้ที่ควบคุมระบบการเงินแบบเก่า พวกเขายืนยันว่า Bitcoin ควรเน้นการเป็นเงิน และการเปลี่ยนแปลงที่ไม่จำเป็นซึ่งทำลาย Filter ที่ทำงานอยู่จะทำให้ความไว้วางใจใน Bitcoin Core ลดลง นอกจากนี้ยังมีการพูดถึงทางเลือกในการใช้ Filter ในระดับ Node เช่นที่ implement ใน Bitcoin Knots

ความรวมศูนย์ในการขุดและการกระจายศูนย์

ปัญหาความรวมศูนย์ใน Mining Pool เป็นอีกหัวข้อที่มีการหารืออย่างกว้างขวาง โดยเฉพาะเรื่องความหลากหลายของ Block Template เครื่องมืออย่าง stratum.work ถูกสร้างขึ้นมาเพื่อช่วยให้ผู้สังเกตการณ์สามารถเปรียบเทียบ Block Template จาก Pool ต่างๆ ได้ ข้อมูลแสดงให้เห็นว่า Antpool และ Pool ที่เป็น "เพื่อน" (Antpool and friends) รวมถึง Foundry มีส่วนแบ่ง Hash Rate รวมกันค่อนข้างสูง ซึ่งทำให้เกิดความกังวลเกี่ยวกับความรวมศูนย์ ปัญหาดังกล่าวถูกมองว่าเป็นปัญหาเชิงเศรษฐศาสตร์และแรงจูงใจ มากกว่าปัญหาทางเทคนิคล้วนๆ

ทางออกในการกระจายศูนย์การขุดและการสร้าง Block Template ถูกนำเสนอ โดยเฉพาะโปรโตคอล Datam ที่พัฒนาโดย Ocean Mining Datam ถูกออกแบบมาเพื่อการขุดแบบกระจายศูนย์โดยเฉพาะ โดย กำหนดให้ Miner ต้องรัน Node ของตัวเองเพื่อสร้าง Block Template ซึ่งแตกต่างจาก Stratum V2 ที่ยังคงมีการใช้งานแบบรวมศูนย์อยู่ Datam Gateway ทำหน้าที่เป็นตัวเชื่อมระหว่าง Miner กับ Pool โดยใช้ Stratum V1 แต่ Miner เป็นผู้สร้าง Block Template เอง โปรโตคอล Datam นั้นเรียบง่าย ใช้ภาษา C เพื่อให้มีขนาดเล็กและมีประสิทธิภาพสูง สามารถทำงานบน Raspberry Pi ได้ และมีการเข้ารหัสระหว่าง Pool กับ Gateway การสร้าง Datam ขึ้นมาใหม่จากศูนย์เป็นเพราะไม่มีโปรโตคอลหรือซอฟต์แวร์ Pool เดิมที่ตอบโจทย์การกระจายศูนย์ได้อย่างสมบูรณ์

การแก้ไข Bug ใน Consensus (Consensus Cleanup)

มีการนำเสนอ BIP 54 หรือ Great Consensus Cleanup ซึ่งเป็นข้อเสนอ Soft Fork เพื่อแก้ไข Bug เล็กน้อยในกฎ Consensus ของ Bitcoin จุดประสงค์ไม่ใช่การเปลี่ยนแปลงคุณค่าหลักของ Bitcoin แต่เป็นการแก้ไข Bug ที่สามารถทำได้ผ่าน Soft Fork Bug เหล่านี้รวมถึงปัญหาที่อาจนำไปสู่การมี Transaction ID (TXID) ของ Coinbase ซ้ำกันในอนาคตสำหรับ Block ที่เกิดขึ้นก่อน BIP 34 การแก้ไขใน BIP 54 เกี่ยวข้องกับการใช้ Time Locking และการกำหนดค่า End Sequence ใน Coinbase Transaction เพื่อป้องกันปัญหานี้ ข้อเสนอนี้ถูกพัฒนาขึ้นโดย Antoine Riard และมีการหารืออย่างละเอียด

ความปลอดภัยทางควอนตัมในอนาคต

ประเด็นเรื่องความปลอดภัยทางควอนตัมของ Bitcoin ก็ถูกหยิบยกขึ้นมาพูดคุย แม้จะดูเป็นปัญหาที่ไกลตัว แต่ก็เป็นสิ่งสำคัญที่จะต้องมีแผนรองรับ BIP 360 ถูกนำเสนอเป็นข้อเสนอ Soft Fork ทางเลือก (Opt-in soft fork) เพื่อเพิ่มความปลอดภัยทางควอนตัมให้กับ Bitcoin ปัญหาหลักคือผู้ใช้จะต้องเปิดเผย Public Key และ Signature เมื่อใช้จ่าย Transaction และคอมพิวเตอร์ควอนตัมอาจสามารถคำนวณ Private Key จาก Public Key ได้ BIP 360 เสนอให้เพิ่มข้อมูล Public Key และ Signature ที่ผ่านการป้องกันควอนตัมเข้าไปใน Transaction โดยรองรับ Taproot อย่างไรก็ตาม Multisig บางประเภท เช่น P2SH หรือ P2WSH อาจให้การป้องกันได้ดีกว่า เนื่องจากผู้โจมตีจะต้องหา Private Key หลายตัว ในขณะที่ Key Path Spend ของ Taproot อาจไม่ช่วยป้องกันปัญหานี้ BIP 360 ยังกำหนดให้มี Public Key ที่ป้องกันควอนตัมเพียงตัวเดียวเพื่อหลีกเลี่ยงความกำกวมของที่อยู่ Taproot

นวัตกรรมและกรณีใช้งานอื่นๆ

นอกจากนี้ยังมีการกล่าวถึงโครงการอื่นๆ ที่น่าสนใจ เช่น Maple AI ที่มุ่งมั่นสร้าง AI ที่ไม่ใช่แบบรวมศูนย์ และ Open Secret ซึ่งเป็น Framework สำหรับนักพัฒนาในการให้ผู้ใช้สามารถ Self-Custody ข้อมูลของตนเองได้ แนวคิดนี้คล้ายกับการ Self-Custody Bitcoin ใน Wallet โดยมองว่าการถือข้อมูลผู้ใช้เป็นภาระความเสี่ยงสำหรับนักพัฒนา

มีการพูดถึงแนวโน้มที่ผู้เล่นในระบบการเงินแบบเก่าอย่าง Visa และ Stripe กำลังพยายามเข้าสู่พื้นที่ Digital Currency โดยอาจใช้การ Tokenize Credit Card รวมถึงบทบาทที่อาจเกิดขึ้นของ AI Agents ซึ่งอาจเริ่มใช้ Bitcoin หรือ Lightning Network ในการชำระเงินในอนาคต มีการคาดการณ์ว่า AI Agents อาจทำธุรกรรมผ่าน Lightning Network ได้ในระดับที่สูงกว่าการใช้งานของมนุษย์อย่างรวดเร็ว โดยมีการพัฒนาโปรโตคอลอย่าง X402 และ Fusats เพื่อรองรับการชำระเงินสำหรับ Agents โดยเปิดโอกาสให้ Agents เลือกใช้สกุลเงินดิจิทัลที่ดีที่สุดในตลาดเสรี

สุดท้าย งาน Bitcoin++ เน้นย้ำถึงความสำคัญของการประชุมและการรวมตัวกันของนักพัฒนาเพื่อหารือ ประสานงาน และแบ่งปันไอเดีย โดยเฉพาะในประเด็นที่ต้องอาศัยความร่วมมือและการแก้ปัญหาที่ซับซ้อน

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

"Have you seen the news?" Sandra’s voice crackled through the phone, her tone urgent and unsettled.

James, seated in his office at JP Enterprises, furrowed his brows. He hadn’t turned on the television yet. "No. What happened?"

"You need to check the headlines immediately. It’s everywhere. They’ve dragged your name through the mud!"

Without another word, James reached for the remote and turned on the large flat-screen mounted on his office wall. The screen lit up with a news report, the broadcaster’s voice sharp and sensational.

“Shocking footage surfaces: JP Enterprises’ President humiliates his only sister in broad daylight!”

Photos of James and Evelyn outside the company played in a dramatic sequence him confronting her, her being escorted out, and his seemingly cold expression. The captions twisted the story:

“Heartless Billionaire?” “President throws out helpless sister for asking money” “The shameful side of JP Enterprises’ leader exposed!”

James leaned back in his chair, eyes narrowing as he watched.

"This is calculated," he muttered under his breath. "Scripted. Twisted."

He turned off the screen and called Sandra back. "I want Tracy's devices checked. Every message, every image. And I want a full trace on the origin of this story. Media outlets don’t run this kind of narrative without a source."

"You think Tracy’s behind it?" Sandra asked, her voice low.

"She took the pictures, I’m sure of it. But she’s not working alone," James replied, voice steely. "This is too well-planned for one person. They’re trying to frame me, twist reality, and attack my image. And I’ll make sure every single one of them is exposed."

Meanwhile, at a discreet location, Mark, Helen, and Tracy gathered to watch the fire they had ignited. Tracy grinned as she scrolled through social media posts and reactions.

"It’s gone viral," she said gleefully. "Everyone thinks that woman’s your sister. It’s everywhere on blogs, gossip pages, even official news networks. The damage is done."

Mark chuckled darkly. "This will shatter his reputation. Let’s see how he enjoys being publicly hated."

Helen, sipping her wine with a satisfied look, added, "It’s only the beginning. Let’s push this narrative harder. We’ll make sure the board at JP Enterprises starts questioning his character."

But little did they know James had already activated his private investigative team. Every file, every message, every trail was being traced.

Back at JP Enterprises, James stood by the window of his office, watching the skyline, his hands in his pockets.

"They want a war?" he said to himself quietly. "Then I’ll give them one. But on my own terms."

His phone buzzed. A message from his chief of cyber-security read:

“We’ve located the media contact. Payment traced to a dummy account linked to Helen Ray.”

James stared at the screen, his jaw tightening.

The day of the much-anticipated 16th Anniversary of JP Enterprises finally arrived, cloaked in glamour, prestige, and tension. The event venue, a grand luxury hall draped in velvet and golden decor, radiated elegance and opulence. Bright lights illuminated the red carpet, and camera flashes sparked like lightning as influential business magnates, city officials, and esteemed guests from far and wide began to pour in.

Among the prominent guests were Helen Ray, Mark, Tracy, and other members of the Ray family. Dressed in designer gowns and tailored suits, they mingled with high society, laughing and sipping champagne, their polished facades hiding the scheme they had carefully orchestrated for the night.

The hall buzzed with anticipation for the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. JP, the founders of the JP Empire. Meanwhile, in a secluded corner of the hall, Helen leaned towards Mark, whispering with a smirk, “She’s on her way. Get ready for the show.”

The “she” Helen referred to was Evelyn, the same woman they had bribed to once again impersonate James’s sister and stir public humiliation. This time, it wouldn’t just be a few photos, they wanted a scandal of epic proportions, a scene so chaotic and public that it would crumble James’s standing in the business world for good.

As guests chatted and live music flowed through the air, James entered the hall in a pristine black tuxedo, exuding power and poise. He walked beside his uncle Charles and his loyal staff, warmly greeting dignitaries and longtime associates. His presence commanded attention, but murmurs soon rippled through the crowd.

Whispers filled the air like wind in dry grass:

"That’s the man from the headline, isn’t he?" "They say he threw his own sister out for asking for help." "Such cruelty… and yet here he is, smiling like a saint."

As James navigated through the crowd with measured grace, Helen sauntered over, her heels clicking on the marble floor, her expression dripping with sarcasm.

“Well, well, if it isn’t our gallant President,” she began, feigning admiration. “I must say, you clean up well for someone who was just exposed in the most shameful news of the year.”

James turned to her with a calm but unreadable gaze. “Helen,” he greeted curtly.

She chuckled. “You really should be more careful with family matters. The public has a long memory, you know.”

Before James could reply, a loud voice broke through the soft music. “James! James! You left me with nothing!”

All heads turned toward the entrance, where Evelyn stumbled in, her appearance carefully staged to look disheveled and distraught. She weaved through the crowd, screaming and sobbing uncontrollably, clutching at the air as security hesitated to intervene.

“Please! I’m your sister! I just needed a little help!” she cried dramatically. “How could you do this to your own blood?!”

Gasps echoed through the grand hall.

Guests froze in place, their judgmental stares directed at James. Cameraman didn’t hesitate to raise their lenses. Phones were pulled out. A social media storm was already brewing in real time.

James stood still, eyes narrowed. He didn’t move, didn’t speak.

Tracy, standing beside Helen, discreetly snapped more photos, already typing up the next round of false headlines to feed into the media engine.

Helen smirked at the chaos and whispered, “This is it. The downfall begins.”

But James wasn’t shaken.

With quiet authority, he raised his hand, and two personal bodyguards appeared from the sidelines. He looked Evelyn square in the eye, then said, loud enough for the nearest guests to hear, “Escort this woman outside. She is not my sister. And she has no place here.”

Evelyn’s cries turned more dramatic, but it was clear to the more discerning eyes in the room that something about her act was off. Her appearance was too deliberate, her performance too exaggerated.

As security led her away, some guests began to murmur with skepticism.

“Wait… that woman doesn’t even resemble him.” “Isn’t it strange she showed up right after that story went viral?” “Could this be a setup?”

Sachzwangfreie, gesichert systemkritische Investigativ-Journalisten der unabhängigen, für Ausgewogenheit bekannten Mainstream-Medien, haben in jahrelanger Recherche den Rechtsruck Deutschlands beobachtet und nun in einem rund 5000 Seiten starken Gutachten dem Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz zugespielt. Möglicherweise ist Erfahrung in der Veröffentlichung der Tagebücher eines verkannten Künstlers hierbei sehr hilfreich gewesen.

Nach sorgfältiger Überprüfung des Inland-Geheimdienstes konnte festgestellt werden, dass dem 3. Reich zugeschriebenes Gedankengut fortbesteht und dadurch die Unseredemokratie nachhaltig vergiftet ist. Bei der Beurteilung waren die Erkenntnisse der Gauck-Behörde von unschätzbarem Wert.

Ein Magazin, einst bekannt dafür, der Politik scharf auf die Finger zu schauen, und das auch die vorgenannten Tagebücher veröffentlicht hat (das war vor der Zeit, als ein ausgewachsener amerikanischer Voll-Philanthrop mit seiner Großzügigkeit die laufenden Strom- und Heizkosten des Verlagsgebäudes bezahlt hat), scheint hier seine Schreib-Fachkräfte zur Verfügung gestellt zu haben. Das könnte erklären, warum einige Details der nicht zu hinterfragenden Schrift an die Öffentlichkeit gelangt sind.

Schon im Grundgesetz kommt der durch das NS-Regime verbrannte Begriff „Volk“ zwölf Mal vor. So lebt die Ideologie, dass es ein deutsches Volk gibt, auch im Grundgesetz weiter. Vermutlich wurde durch Bestechung und Intrigen der Artikel 116 Absatz 1 hineingeschmuggelt, der besagt, wer Deutscher im Sinne des Grundgesetzes ist. Das fordert zwangsläufig eine dringend notwendige Prüfung, ob nicht das Grundgesetz selbst verfassungswidrig ist.

Mit Gründung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland wurde auch weiterhin im Straßenverkehr am Rechtsverkehr festgehalten, obwohl die Autoindustrie mit Beibehaltung des Lenkrades auf der linken Seite ein klares Zeichen gegen rechts gesetzt hat.

Der Ausbau des deutschen Autobahnnetzes wurde im 3. Reich stark vorangetrieben. Er diente vor allem dazu, eine schnelle Truppenbewegung zu ermöglichen. Schließlich sollte nach Goebbels, vor allem bekannt durch seine Rede im Sportpalast in Berlin, bestmögliche Kriegstüchtigkeit hergestellt werden. Die Waffenproduktion der Hermann-Göring-Werke, heute Rheinmetall, ließen die Hochöfen bereits dauerglühen.

Nach dem 2. Weltenbrand wurde der Ausbau des deutschen Autobahnnetzes weiter vorangetrieben. Statt sie zu entschärfen, wurden extreme Rechtskurven durch Leitplanken gesichert. Weniger scharfe Rechtskurven wurden in einer Liste als Verdachtsfall erfasst und werden seitdem intensiv beobachtet, die Unfallhäufigkeit wird ständig gemessen.

Ein weiteres Indiz für rechtes Gedankengut ist die Tatsache, dass eine bekannte Autofirma ihre Produkte auch in der Bundesrepublik nicht in Bürgerwagen umbenannt hat. So wurde in der Wirtschaftswunderzeit mit einem verfassungswidrigen Kraftfahrzeug mit 37 PS wild in der Gegend herumgefahren und durch Auslandsreisen, gerne an den Gardasee, der Begriff Volk in die ganze Welt getragen. Den Höhepunkt des Gipfels erreichte die Verfassungswidrigkeit jedoch dadurch, dass ein Werk in Brasilien den Bürgerwagen produzierte und so den gesamten amerikanischen Kontinent mit hässlichem Gedankengut verseuchte.

Deutsche Unternehmen, die aus Überzeugung Schrauben und Muttern mit Rechtsgewinde herstellen, können nur überzeugte Rechtsextremisten sein. Alles, was rechts ist oder rechts herum geht, muss zum Schutze von Unseredemokratie verfolgt und verboten werden. Auch die Buchhaltung der Unternehmen gehört reformiert, denn schließlich gibt es mit Soll und Haben eine linke und, staatsgefährdend, auch eine rechte Seite, auf der die Einnahmen und Ausgaben erfasst werden.

In großen Städten wurden nach der bedingungslosen Kapitulation der Wehrmacht Straßen und Plätze, die nach den „Größen“ des 3. Reichs benannt wurden, wieder umbenannt. Es wurde dabei versäumt, Parks in größeren Städten, die sich Volksgarten nennen, in Bürgergarten umzubenennen.

Auch wurde versäumt, ideologisch vergiftete Tischsitten zu reformieren. So liegt das Messer neben dem Teller weiterhin rechts. Die Absicht liegt sozusagen auf der Hand, denn das ist eine eindeutige Aufforderung zu Messergewalt, zumal die meisten Menschen Rechtshänder sind.

An der Schreibweise von links nach rechts wurde weiter festgehalten. Ein weiteres Anzeichen dafür, wie das Volk durch alltägliche Verrichtungen zu einer rechten Gesinnung durch dunkle Kräfte hingeleitet werden soll. Die Schreibweise „kursiv“ wurde nicht verboten, obwohl sie extrem rechts ist.

Offensichtlich wird auch die Indoktrination des Volkes, wenn vom für die Linken diskriminierenden Rechtsstaat die Rede ist. Menschen, die ein gesundes Rechtsverständnis haben, sind ideologisch vergiftet.

Die Auflösung von Familienstrukturen, einst die kleinste tragende Zelle der Gesellschaft, muss dringend umgesetzt werden, da verschworene Gruppen, die im Ernstfall wie Pech und Schwefel zusammenhalten, den Staat delegitimieren. Sie könnten zum Beispiel einen Familienausflug planen, von dem der Staat nichts weiß.

Ein Ehepaar, das nicht mehr zeitgemäß in einem Doppelbett schläft, ist höchstverdächtig. Der Ehepartner, der in einem Ehebett auf der rechten Seite sehr nah an der Bettkante schläft, schläft rechtsextrem. Wenn er ein Gitter am Bett hat, damit er nicht aus dem Bett fällt, schläft er sogar extrem gesichert rechts.

Der Verfassungsschutz muss dringend prüfen, ob nicht das gesamte deutsche Volk verboten werden sollte, denn es ist eindeutig so, dass das Volk völkisch ist und das darf in einer Unseredemokratie keinen Platz haben.

Mit Übergabe des Gutachtens an den Verfassungsschutz sieht dieser es als Geheimsache an, sodass er es aus Gründen des Staatswohls nicht denjenigen gegenüber zugänglich gemacht werden kann, die es betrifft, nämlich das völkische Volk.

Jenes Volk, das dank einer übermenschlichen Autoren-Anstrengung im wirtschaftlichen Bereich immer mehr den nicht mehr vorhandenen Pfennig und die nicht mehr vorhandene Mark umdrehen muss.

Als Volks-Sparmöglichkeiten gibt es jedoch noch:

·         Im Outlet-Store Markenartikel 2. Wahl

·         Auf dem Markt Spargel 2. Wahl

·         Und jetzt auch einen Bundeskanzler 2. Wahl

Warum hat das undankbare deutsche Volk, das die Unseredemokratie nicht genug zu schätzen weiß, immer noch etwas zu meckern?

Wer jetzt behauptet, dass dieser Text absurd ist, der möge sich in der Realität umsehen. Da finden die wirklichen Absurditäten statt. Das hier ist nur Schwurbelei von jemandem, der die Welt nicht mehr versteht.

สัปดาห์นี้ถือว่าเป็นเบรคคั่นพักผ่อนแก้เครียดนิดหน่อยแล้วกันครับ เรามาเล่าย้อนอดีตกันนิดหน่อย เหมือนสตาร์วอส์ที่ฉายภาค 4-5-6 แล้วย้อนไป 1-2-3 ฮาๆๆๆ

เคยได้ยินคำว่า Nuremberg Trials ไหมครับ ย้อนความนิดนึงว่า Nuremberg (Nürnberg อ่านว่า เนือร์นแบร์ก) คือชื่อเมืองในเยอรมนีที่เคยเป็นเวทีพิจารณาคดีประวัติศาสตร์หลังสงครามโลกครั้งที่ 2

“Nuremberg Trials” คือการไต่สวนผู้มีส่วนเกี่ยวข้องกับ อาชญากรรมสงครามของนาซีเยอรมัน หลังสงครามโลกครั้งที่ 2 ในปี 1945–46 พันธมิตรผู้ชนะสงครามได้จับตัวผู้นำนาซี นักการเมือง หมอ นักวิทยาศาสตร์ มาขึ้นศาล ข้อหาของพวกเขาไม่ได้แค่ฆ่าคน แต่รวมถึงการละเมิดศีลธรรมมนุษย์ขั้นพื้นฐาน อย่างการทดลองทางการแพทย์กับนักโทษ โดยไม่มีการขอความยินยอม

จากการไต่สวนนี้ จึงเกิดหลักจริยธรรมที่ชื่อว่า “Nuremberg Code” ซึ่งกลายเป็นรากฐานของการทดลองทางการแพทย์ยุคใหม่ หัวใจของโค้ดนี้คือคำว่า “Informed Consent” แปลว่า ถ้าจะทำอะไรกับร่างกายใคร ต้องได้รับความยินยอมจากเขาอย่างเต็มใจ และมีข้อมูลครบถ้วน นี่แหละ คือบทเรียนจากบาดแผลของสงครามโลก

แต่แล้ว...ในปี 2020 โลกก็เข้าสู่ยุคที่ใครบางคนบอกว่า “ต้องเชื่อผู้เชี่ยวชาญ” ใครกังวล = คนไม่รักสังคม ใครถามเยอะ = คนต่อต้านวิทยาศาสตร์ การยินยอมโดยสมัครใจ เริ่มกลายเป็นแค่คำเชิงสัญลักษณ์

ในช่วงหลังนี้เราอาจจะได้ยินข่าวหรือทฤษฎีในอินเตอร์เนทเกี่ยวกับคำว่า Nuremberg 2.0 กันนะครับ เพราะเริ่มผุดขึ้นตามกระทู้เงียบ ๆ คลิปใต้ดิน และเวทีเสวนาแปลก ๆ ที่ไม่มีใครอยากอ้างชื่อบนเวที TED Talk ซึ่ง กลุ่มที่ใช้คำนี้มักจะหมายถึงความต้องการให้มีการ “ไต่สวน” หรือ “เอาผิด” กับนักการเมือง นักวิทยาศาสตร์ แพทย์ หรือองค์กรที่เกี่ยวข้องกับ การออกคำสั่ง การบังคับ การเซ็นเซอร์ข้อมูลที่ขัดแย้งกับแนวทางรัฐ การเผยแพร่ข้อมูลโดยไม่โปร่งใส พวกเขามองว่า นโยบายเหล่านั้นละเมิดสิทธิเสรีภาพของประชาชนในระดับที่เปรียบได้กับ “อาชญากรรมต่อมนุษยชาติ” จึงเสนอแนวคิด “Nuremberg 2.0”

พวกเขาไม่ได้เรียกร้องแค่ความโปร่งใส แต่เขาอยากเห็นการทบทวน ว่าใครกันแน่ที่ละเมิดหลักจริยธรรมที่โลกเคยตกลงกันไว้เมื่อ 80 ปีก่อน

Nuremberg คือการไต่สวนคนที่ใช้อำนาจรัฐฆ่าคนอย่างจงใจ Nuremberg 2.0 คือคำเตือนว่า “การใช้ความกลัวครอบงำเสรีภาพ” อาจไม่ต่างกันนัก

ทีนี้เคยสงสัยไหม แล้วมันเกี่ยวอะไรกับอาหาร?

เพราะจากวิกฤตโรคระบาด เราเริ่มเห็น “วิทยาศาสตร์แบบผูกขาด” คุมเกมส์ บริษัทเทคโนโลยีเริ่มเข้ามาทำอาหาร ชื่อใหม่ของเนื้อสเต๊กกลายเป็น “โปรตีนทางเลือก” อาหารจากแล็บกลายเป็น “ทางรอดของโลก” สารเคมีอัดลงไปแทนเนื้อจริง ๆ แต่มีฉลากติดว่า "รักษ์โลก ปลอดภัย ยั่งยืน"

แต่ถ้ามองให้ลึกลงไปอีกนิด บางกลุ่มคนกลับเริ่มเห็นอะไรบางอย่างที่ขนลุกกว่า เพราะมันคือ “ระบบควบคุมสุขภาพ” ที่อาศัย “ความกลัว” เป็นหัวเชื้อ และ “วิทยาศาสตร์แบบผูกขาด” เป็นกลไก

จากนั้น…ทุกอย่างก็จะถูกเสิร์ฟอย่างสวยงามในรูปแบบ "นวัตกรรมเพื่ออนาคต" ไม่ว่าจะเป็นอาหารเสริมชนิดใหม่ เนื้อสัตว์ปลูกในแล็บ หรืออาหารที่ไม่ต้องเคี้ยว

ลองคิดเล่น ๆครับ ถ้าสารอาหารถูกควบคุมได้ เหมือนที่เราเคยถูกบังคับกับบางอย่างได้ล่ะ? วันหนึ่ง เราอาจถูกขอให้ "กิน" ในสิ่งที่ระบบสุขภาพอนาคตเขาบอกว่าดี แล้วถ้าเฮียบอกว่าไม่อยากกิน...เขาอาจไม่ห้าม แต่ App สุขภาพจะเตือนว่า “คุณมีพฤติกรรมเสี่ยงต่อโลกใบนี้” แต้มเครดิตจะสุขภาพจะลดลงและส่วนลดข้าวกล่องเนื้อจากจุลินทรีย์จะไม่เข้าบัญชีเฮียอีกเลย

ใช่…มันไม่เหมือนการบังคับ แต่มันคือการสร้าง “ระบบทางเดียว” ที่ทำให้คนที่อยากเดินออกนอกแถว เหมือนเดินลงเหว

Nuremberg 2.0 จึงไม่ใช่แค่เรื่องของอดีตหรือโรคระบาด แต่มันเป็นกระจกที่สะท้อนว่า “ถ้าเราไม่เรียนรู้จากประวัติศาสตร์ เราอาจกินซ้ำรอยมันเข้าไปในมื้อเย็น”

อนาคตของอาหารอาจไม่ได้อยู่ในจาน แต่อยู่ในนโยบาย อยู่ในบริษัทที่ผลิตโปรตีนจากอากาศ อยู่ในทุนที่ซื้อนักวิทยาศาสตร์ไว้ทั้งวงการ และถ้าเราหลับตาอีกครั้ง หลายคนก็กลัวว่า...บทไต่สวน Nuremberg รอบใหม่ อาจไม่สามารถเกิดขึ้นอีกต่อไป เพราะคราวนี้ คนร้ายจะไม่ได้ถือปืน แต่อาจถือใบรับรองโภชนาการระดับโลกในมือแทน

Bitcoin has been gaining increasing acceptance as a means of payment, evolving from being just a digital investment asset to becoming a viable alternative to traditional currencies. Today, many companies around the world already accept Bitcoin, providing consumers with greater financial freedom and reducing reliance on traditional banking intermediaries.

• Global companies that accept Bitcoin

Over the years, several well-known companies have begun accepting Bitcoin, recognizing its benefits such as security, transparency, and low transaction fees. Among the most prominent are:

01 - Microsoft: The tech giant allows users to add funds to their Microsoft accounts using Bitcoin. This enables the purchase of digital content such as games, apps, and software available in the Microsoft Store. 02 - Overstock: One of the largest online retailers that accepts Bitcoin for the purchase of furniture, electronics, and home goods. Overstock was an early adopter, signaling a strong commitment to financial innovation. 03 - AT&T: The U.S. telecommunications company was the first in its industry to accept Bitcoin payments, giving customers the option to pay their bills with cryptocurrency through BitPay. 04 - Twitch: While Twitch does not natively support Bitcoin donations or payments, many streamers use third-party services like NOWPayments, Streamlabs (with Coinbase integration), or Plisio to accept crypto tips and donations. This opens a path for Bitcoin support through external platforms, especially within the content creator community. 05 - Namecheap: A leading domain registrar and web hosting provider that accepts Bitcoin for domain registration and hosting services, showcasing Bitcoin’s usefulness in the digital economy.

• Small businesses and local commerce

Beyond large corporations, a growing number of small businesses and local merchants are embracing Bitcoin, particularly in cities that are becoming hubs for digital innovation.

01 - Restaurants and cafés: In cities like Lisbon, London, and New York, several cafés and eateries accept Bitcoin as payment, attracting tech-savvy customers. 02 - Hotels and tourism: Certain hotel chains and travel platforms now accept Bitcoin, simplifying bookings and removing the need for currency exchange for international travelers. 03 - Online stores: Many small e-commerce businesses offer Bitcoin as a payment option or even operate exclusively using cryptocurrency, benefiting from borderless, fast transactions.

• Advantages for businesses and consumers

The growing acceptance of Bitcoin is largely driven by its advantages:

01 - Lower transaction fees: Businesses can reduce costs associated with credit card fees and payment processors. 02 - No intermediaries: Direct peer-to-peer payments cut down on bureaucracy and reduce fraud risks. 03 - Global access: Bitcoin allows for cross-border payments without the need for currency exchange, ideal for international transactions.

In summary, the adoption of Bitcoin as a means of payment continues to expand, with companies of all sizes recognizing its strategic value. From large enterprises to independent creators and local shops, Bitcoin is gradually becoming a more practical and accepted financial tool. While challenges such as volatility and regulatory uncertainty remain, the broader trend points toward a future where paying with Bitcoin could be a common part of everyday life.

Thank you very much for reading this far. I hope everything is well with you, and sending a big hug from your favorite Bitcoiner maximalist from Madeira. Long live freedom!

Bitcoin was created to offer a secure and decentralized alternative to traditional money, enabling financial transactions without the need for intermediaries. DeFi, on the other hand, emerged as an expansion of this concept, proposing decentralized financial services such as lending, exchanges, and yield generation. However, despite its promises of innovation, DeFi carries numerous risks, making it a dangerous bet for those who value the security of their Bitcoin.

What is DeFi?

DeFi refers to a set of financial applications that operate without the intermediation of banks or traditional institutions. These platforms use smart contracts to automate transactions, allowing anyone to access financial services without relying on third parties. In theory, DeFi promises greater financial freedom, but in practice it is full of risks, scams, and technical vulnerabilities that can compromise users' funds.

• The risks of DeFi for Bitcoin holders

Bitcoin is the most secure digital currency in the world, protected by a decentralized and censorship-resistant network. Unlike DeFi, which is still in an experimental phase and has already suffered numerous attacks, Bitcoin remains solid and reliable. When someone places Bitcoin in DeFi platforms, they give up the security of direct custody and trust weaker systems.

The main risks include:

01 - Hackers and code flaws: Smart contracts are written by programmers and may contain bugs that allow massive thefts. Over the years, billions of dollars have been lost due to vulnerabilities in DeFi platforms. 02 - Liquidation risks: Many DeFi applications operate on collateralization systems, where users lock Bitcoin to obtain loans. If the market becomes volatile, those Bitcoins can be liquidated at lower-than-expected prices, causing irreversible losses. 03 - Scams and rug pulls: DeFi is full of shady projects where creators vanish with users’ funds. Without regulation and without guarantees, those who deposit Bitcoin in these platforms may never recover their funds.

• Keeping Bitcoin safe is the best choice

Bitcoin was created to be self-custodied, meaning each user should have direct control over their funds without relying on third parties. By sending Bitcoin to DeFi platforms, that security is lost and the asset is exposed to unnecessary risks. The best way to protect Bitcoin is to store it in a secure wallet, preferably offline (cold storage), avoiding any exposure to smart contracts or vulnerable systems.

In summary, DeFi may seem innovative, but the risks far outweigh the potential benefits—especially for those who value Bitcoin's security. Instead of risking losing funds on insecure platforms, the wisest choice is to keep Bitcoin safely stored, ensuring its long-term preservation. While Bitcoin continues to be the best digital store of value in the world, DeFi remains an unstable and dangerous environment where few win and many end up losing.

May 7th - Asuncion, Paraguay

We made trhe 11th meetup of our community. This time, we reached an ATH of atendees, almost 150 people. This time, we were talking about bitcoin for begginers and for the main event I made a presentation a about Robosats, encouraging people to take orders, buy bitcoin and most of it, make your life better.

The motto this time was: this is not about being a trader. It's about happiness.

Bitcoin can help you find new ways to explore the best version of yourself because right now people are looking anti-inflation methods for not lose money. In every meetup, we're encouraging our new members to embrace and adopt bitcoin for their products/services.

Most of them are skeptics (at first) when I say that Lightning Network is cheaper as f**k. I show them the fee paid, their eyes...it's the aha moment for them.

I'm happy and bullish af.

Bitcoin has revolutionized the way people conduct financial transactions worldwide. As a decentralized digital currency, it offers new opportunities for e-commerce payments and international money transfers. Its speed, security, and low costs make it an efficient alternative to traditional methods by eliminating intermediaries and facilitating global transactions.

Bitcoin in e-commerce

E-commerce has grown exponentially, and Bitcoin has emerged as an innovative solution for online payments. Large retailers and small businesses are starting to accept Bitcoin as a form of payment, offering benefits to both merchants and consumers.

• Advantages of Bitcoin for e-commerce:

01 - Low transaction fees: Unlike credit cards and payment platforms that charge high fees, Bitcoin transactions generally have lower costs. This benefits merchants, who can reduce expenses and offer more competitive prices to customers. 02 - Elimination of chargebacks: In traditional systems, chargebacks (forced refunds by banks or card operators) are a concern for merchants. Since Bitcoin transactions are irreversible, merchants avoid fraud and disputes. 03 - Global access: Anyone with internet access can pay with Bitcoin, regardless of their location. This allows businesses to expand their market internationally without relying on banks or local payment systems. 04 - Privacy and security: Bitcoin transactions protect user identity, offering greater privacy compared to credit card payments or bank transfers. Additionally, since there’s no need to share personal data, the risk of information theft is reduced.

• Challenges of using Bitcoin in e-commerce:

01 - Volatility: Bitcoin’s price can fluctuate rapidly, making it difficult to set fixed prices for products and services. However, some merchants use payment processors that instantly convert Bitcoin into fiat currency, minimizing this risk. 02 - Limited adoption: Despite its growth, Bitcoin acceptance is not yet universal. Many stores and popular platforms have not adopted it, which can make daily purchases difficult. 03 - Confirmation time: Although Bitcoin is faster than traditional bank transfers, confirmation times may vary depending on the network fee paid. Some solutions, such as the Lightning Network, are being developed to enable instant payments.

Bitcoin in money remittances

Sending money abroad has long been a bureaucratic, costly, and time-consuming process. Traditional services like banks and money transfer companies charge high fees and can take days to complete a transaction. Bitcoin, on the other hand, offers an efficient alternative for global remittances, allowing anyone to send and receive money quickly and affordably.

• Benefits of Bitcoin for remittances:

01 - Reduced costs: While banks and companies like Western Union charge high fees for international transfers, Bitcoin allows money to be sent with minimal costs, regardless of the amount or destination. 02 - Transaction speed: International bank transfers can take several days to complete, especially in countries with limited financial infrastructure. With Bitcoin, money can be sent anywhere in the world within minutes or hours. 03 - Global accessibility: In regions where the banking system is restricted or inefficient, Bitcoin enables people to receive money without depending on banks. This is particularly useful in developing countries where international remittances are an essential source of income. 04 - Independence from intermediaries: Bitcoin operates in a decentralized manner, with no need for banks or transfer companies. This means people can send money directly to friends and family without intermediaries.

• Challenges of Bitcoin remittances:

01 - Conversion to local currency: Although Bitcoin can be received instantly, many people still need to convert it into local currency for everyday use. This may involve additional costs and depend on the availability of exchange services. 02 - Adoption and knowledge: Not everyone understands how Bitcoin works, which can hinder its widespread adoption for remittances. However, growing financial education on the subject can help overcome this barrier. 03 - Regulations and restrictions: Some governments impose restrictions on Bitcoin usage, making remittances more complicated. The evolution of regulations may affect ease of use in certain countries.

In summary, Bitcoin is transforming e-commerce and money remittances around the world. Its ability to eliminate intermediaries, reduce costs, and provide fast and secure payments makes it a viable alternative to traditional financial systems.

In e-commerce, it benefits both merchants and consumers by lowering fees and enhancing privacy. In the remittance sector, it facilitates money transfers to any part of the world, especially for those living in countries with inefficient banking systems.

Despite the challenges, Bitcoin adoption continues to grow, driven by innovative solutions and recognition of its potential as a global payment method. As more businesses and individuals embrace this technology, its presence in e-commerce and international remittances will become increasingly relevant.

Digital wallets are important tools for storing and managing Bitcoin. They allow people to keep their private keys, access their funds, and make transactions in a practical and secure way. However, with several types of wallets available and the risks of incorrect use, it is essential to understand their features and follow good security practices.

What is a digital wallet?

A digital wallet is a software or device that stores the private and public keys linked to Bitcoin. Simply put, it doesn’t “store” Bitcoin itself but provides secure access to the network to verify and sign transactions.

Private keys work like a secret password that allows spending Bitcoins, while public keys are like account numbers that can be shared to receive payments. Keeping the private key secure is very important, as whoever has access to it controls the funds.

• Types of Digital Wallets

There are different types of digital wallets, each with specific features that meet various needs, whether for daily use or long-term storage.

• Hot Wallets

Wallets connected to the internet, designed for frequent use. Examples: Mobile apps, desktop wallets, online wallets.

Advantages:

01 - Accessible and easy to use 02 - Ideal for daily and quick transactions

Disadvantages:

01 - More exposed to cyberattacks such as phishing or hacking

• Cold Wallets

Wallets that keep private keys offline, increasing security. Examples: Hardware wallets, paper wallets, dedicated USB devices.

Advantages:

01 - High protection against hackers since they are not online 02 - Ideal for large amounts of Bitcoin or long-term storage

Disadvantages:

01 - Less practical for daily use 02 - Can be physically damaged or lost if not handled carefully

• Hardware Wallets

Physical devices, like Ledger or Trezor, that store private keys offline.

Advantages:

01 - Easy-to-use and secure interface 02 - Resistant to viruses and online attacks

Disadvantages:

01 - Higher initial cost 02 - Require care to avoid physical damage

• Paper Wallets

Involve printing or writing down private and public keys on a piece of paper.

Advantages:

01 - Completely offline and immune to digital attacks 02 - Simple and low-cost

Disadvantages:

01 - Vulnerable to physical damage such as water, fire, or loss 02 - Difficult to recover if lost

• Security in Digital Wallets

Protecting a digital wallet is essential to safeguard your Bitcoins from loss or theft.

Below are important practices to improve security:

• Private Key Protection

01 - Never share your private key with anyone 02 - Keep backup copies of the private key or recovery phrase in safe places

• Use of Recovery Phrases

The seed phrase is a sequence of 12 to 24 words that helps recover funds if the wallet is lost.

01 - Store the seed phrase offline and avoid taking pictures or saving it on internet-connected devices

• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

01 - Whenever possible, enable 2FA to protect accounts linked to online wallets or exchanges 02 - This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second code to log in

• Updates and Maintenance

Keep the wallet software up to date to ensure protection against vulnerabilities

01 - Use only wallets from trustworthy and reputable developers

• Choosing the Right Wallet According to Need

01 - For frequent transactions, choose hot wallets but keep only small amounts 02 - For large amounts, use cold wallets like hardware or paper wallets, which are more secure

Risks and How to Avoid Them

• Hacker Attacks

Risk: Unauthorized access to hot wallets connected to the internet Prevention: Use cold wallets for storing large amounts and avoid clicking on suspicious links

• Loss of Access

Risk: Loss of private keys or the recovery phrase, making funds unrecoverable Prevention: Regularly make backups and store information in secure places

• Social Engineering and Phishing

Risk: Hackers trick people into giving up their private keys or personal information Prevention: Be suspicious of messages or websites that request your private keys. Never share sensitive data

• Physical Failures

Risk: Damage to devices or loss of paper wallets Prevention: Store backups in locations resistant to water, fire, and other threats

In summary, digital wallets are essential for the security and use of Bitcoin. Choosing the right wallet and following good security practices are key steps to protecting your assets.

Hot wallets offer convenience for daily use, while cold wallets provide strong security for long-term storage. Regardless of the type you choose, taking care of your private keys and recovery phrase is fundamental to ensure your Bitcoin remains under your control.

By understanding the types of wallets and implementing appropriate security measures, users can safely and efficiently take advantage of Bitcoin, maximizing the benefits of this digital revolution.

背景与研究范围

Backpack 是由多名前 FTX 和 Alameda 员工在 FTX 崩盘后创立的一家加密交易平台，与 Amber Group（一家大型加密金融服务商）和已倒闭的交易所 FTX 之间可能存在多重隐秘关联。本研究超越公开新闻，从团队延续、资金路径、合规架构、基础设施复用和链上迹象等角度，推理分析三者之间的联系。下文将分别讨论：团队与股权延续性、法币出金（稳定币清算）架构、Amber Group 的支持角色、Circle/Equals Money 等第三方的关联，以及“交叉代币解锁”机制的可能性，并给出关键证据与信息缺口。

团队与股权上的延续性

首先，在团队方面，Backpack 由多名 FTX/Alameda 前成员创立。据报道，Backpack 的联合创始人包括前 Alameda Research 早期员工 Armani Ferrante，以及 FTX 前总法律顾问 Can Suncoinspeaker.com；另一位联合创始人 Tristan Yver 也曾任职于 FTX/Alamedanftgators.com。据 CoinSpeaker 披露，Backpack 40名员工中至少有5人是 FTX 前员工coinspeaker.com。这表明 Backpack 在团队传承上与 FTX 存在明显延续。一方面，创始团队直接来自原 FTX 帝国的核心人员；另一方面，他们将过往在大型交易所积累的经验带入了 Backpack。

其次，在股权投资方面也有延续痕迹。早在2022年9月，Backpack 背后的公司 Coral 即获得了由 FTX Ventures 领投的2000万美元种子轮融资，用于开发 Backpack xNFT 钱包等产品nftgators.com。然而由于2022年11月FTX暴雷，这笔来自 FTX 的投资资金大部分被冻结损失nftgators.com。在经历了资金困难的“蟑螂生存模式”后，Backpack 团队于2023-2024年重新融资，成功在2024年2月完成1700万美元的 A 轮融资nftgators.com。值得注意的是，此轮融资的投资阵容中出现了 Amber Group 的身影nftgators.com。Amber Group 与 Placeholder、Hashed、Wintermute 等知名机构共同参与了该轮融资coinspeaker.com。这意味着 Amber 已经成为 Backpack 股东之一，在股权上建立了联系。此外，Jump Crypto 和 Delphi Digital 等与 FTX时代关系密切的机构也参与了投资nftgators.com。综上， Backpack 的股东和团队构成反映出明显的历史延续：既有原FTX系资本（FTX Ventures）和人员直接过渡，也有 Amber Group 等行业巨头在FTX倒台后入场接棒投资，为 Backpack 提供资金和资源支持。

法币出金架构与 USDC 清算渠道

FTX 时代的稳定币清算： 为了解 Backpack 是否继承了 FTX 的 USDC 清算架构，需要回顾 FTX 过往的法币出入金体系。FTX 在运营高峰时期，以其流畅的出入金和稳定币兑换闻名。用户可以将 USDC 等稳定币充值到 FTX 并直接视同美元资产使用，提取时又能以银行电汇方式取出美元，过程中几乎无汇兑损耗。这背后可能依赖于 FTX 与 Circle 等机构的直接清算合作，以及自有银行网络的支持。例如，Circle 提供的企业账户服务可以让像FTX这样的平台在后台实现USDC与美元的1:1兑换与清算circle.com。事实上，FTX 曾是 USDC 的主要场景之一，大量用户通过将美元换成 USDC 再转入FTX进行交易，从而绕过昂贵的跨境汇款费用。FTX 很可能建立了高效的稳定币兑换通道——例如通过 Silvergate 银行网络或与稳定币发行方直接交割——来实现低成本、快速的法币⇄USDC 转换。这套“USDC 清算架构”是FTX业务成功的重要基础之一。

Backpack 的出金方案： Backpack 作为新兴交易所，近期正式推出了类似的法币⇄稳定币出入金功能，并号称实现了“0费率”的美元/USDC转换panewslab.com。根据官方公告，从2025年5月起，Backpack Exchange 用户可以通过电汇方式充值和提取美元，且美元与USDC的兑换不收取任何手续费panewslab.com。这与FTX当年提供的低成本稳定币出入金体验如出一辙，表明 Backpack 很可能在复用或重建一种高效的清算架构。

与FTX相比，Backpack 并未公开具体采用了何种技术/金融渠道来实现0手续费。但通过社区测试和代码线索，可以推测其架构与FTX思路相似：首先， Backpack 将美元法币与USDC稳定币视为等价资产开放存取，用户电汇美元到账后在平台得到USDC或美元余额，提币时可用USDC直接提走或兑换成美元汇出。其次， Backpack 可能通过与稳定币发行方Circle的合作，或通过场外流动性方，将用户的USDC和法币进行实时对冲清算。Circle提供的API允许合规企业账户方便地将USDC兑换为美元存入银行账户circle.com；Backpack 很可能利用了这一渠道，在后台完成USDC的兑换，再通过银行网络把美元汇给用户。虽然Backpack官方未明言使用Circle，但其USDC通道开放的举措本身就体现了Circle所倡导的稳定币跨境支付应用场景circle.com。因此，从设计上看，Backpack 的法币出入金体系是对FTX模式的一种延续和致敬，即充分利用稳定币作为清算中介，实现跨境汇款的低成本与高效率。

银行网络与 Equals Money： 更有意思的是，有社区用户实测 Backpack 的美元提现，发现汇款发起方显示为“Equals Money PLC”btcxiaolinzi.top。Equals Money 是英国一家持有FCA牌照的电子货币机构(EMI)，为企业提供银行转账和外汇服务btcxiaolinzi.top。测试者推断，Backpack 可能在 Equals Money 开立了企业账户，用于代替传统银行向用户汇出美元btcxiaolinzi.top。这一细节揭示了Backpack出金架构的实现路径：Backpack 很可能将待提现的USDC通过某种方式兑换成法币并存入其在Equals Money的账户，由后者完成跨境电汇至用户收款银行。由于Equals Money本质上连接着欧洲和国际支付网络，Backpack借助它可以避开美国传统银行的限制，为全球用户（包括无法直接与美国持牌银行打交道的用户）提供出金服务。这一点在FTX时代并未被广泛报道，但符合FTX/Alameda团队擅长搭建复杂金融通道的作风。由此推断， Backpack 确实在承袭FTX时期的清算理念：利用多层金融机构合作（如稳定币发行方、电子货币机构等），构筑高效的全球资金出入网络。在表面0手续费的背后，可能是由Backpack或其合作方（如做市商）承担了兑换成本，以吸引用户panewslab.com。目前这一体系已进入公开测试及运营阶段，随着更多支付方式（ACH、SEPA）的推出，Backpack正逐步完善其全球法币出入金矩阵panewslab.com。

Amber Group 的潜在支持角色

作为Backpack的重要战略投资方，Amber Group 在该体系中可能扮演多重支持角色。首先是资金层面： Amber参与了Backpack的A轮融资nftgators.com并获得股权，这意味着Amber对Backpack的发展具有直接利益。在FTX倒闭后，Amber选择投资由FTX前团队创立的新交易所，体现出其对这支团队能力和商业模式的认可。Amber本身是知名的加密市场做市和金融服务公司，管理着庞大的资产并具备深厚的流动性提供能力dailycoin.com。因此可以合理推测，Amber除了资本投入，还可能作为做市商为Backpack的交易提供充足的流动性支持，确保用户在Backpack上交易时有良好的市场深度和稳定的价格。这种隐性支持符合许多交易所背后有大做市商“站台”的行业惯例。尤其Backpack定位要提供低成本的稳定币兑换和跨链流动性，Amber在稳定币交易市场的经验和库存或可帮助其维持汇率稳定。

其次是技术与基础设施支持： Amber Group 多年来构建了自己的交易系统（包括托管、风控和前端应用，如之前面向零售的 WhaleFin 应用）。尽管目前未有公开信息表明Backpack直接复用了Amber的技术，但不排除Amber在底层架构上提供咨询或授权支持的可能。例如，Amber深耕多链资产管理和清算，其内部API或合规方案可能对Backpack搭建跨法币/加密的基础设施有所启发。双方如果有合作，极有可能保持低调以避免监管敏感。还有一种支持形式是隐性投资或子基金合作： Amber可能通过旗下基金或关联投资工具，持有Backpack相关业务的权益而不公开身份。然而截至目前，我们尚未发现明确证据证明Amber有这种“隐形”持股行为——Amber作为领投方之一出现于公开融资名单，说明其支持主要还是以正式股权投资和业务协作的方式进行coinspeaker.com。

第三是合规与网络资源： Amber在全球（尤其亚洲）拥有广泛的业务网络和合规资源。Backpack注册在阿联酋迪拜，并计划拓展美国、日本、欧洲等市场learn.backpack.exchangelearn.backpack.exchange。Amber总部位于亚洲（最初在香港，新加坡等地开展业务），对东亚和东南亚市场非常了解。Amber的联合创始人团队中有合规专家，曾帮助公司获取多地牌照。Backpack的联合创始人之一（Can Sun）本身是前FTX法务，这保证了内部合规经验，但Amber的外部资源也可能提供协助。例如，Amber在香港与监管机构打交道的经验，或许有助于Backpack寻求香港或东南亚牌照；Amber在银行业和支付领域的关系网络，也可能帮助Backpack连接银行通道（如引荐像Equals Money这样的机构）。虽然这方面多属于推测，但考虑到Amber投资后通常会积极赋能被投企业，Backpack有理由从Amber处获得合规咨询、市场拓展等方面的帮助。

总的来看，Amber Group 对 Backpack 的支持可能是**“润物细无声”**式的：既体现在台前的融资与做市合作，也体现在幕后的资源共享和经验输出。这种支持帮助Backpack在短时间内补齐了从交易技术到法币通道的诸多要素，使其有能力低成本快速上线类似FTX当年的核心功能（如稳定币快速出入金）。然而，由于双方都未公开详述合作细节，我们对Amber介入的深度仍缺乏直接证据，只能从结果倒推其可能性。

Circle、Equals Money 等第三方的关联

在Backpack、FTX与Amber的关系网络中，Circle和Equals Money等第三方机构扮演了关键“节点”，它们的出现为三者合作提供了基础设施支撑：

• Circle（USDC发行方）： Circle公司本身与FTX及Backpack都有千丝万缕的业务联系。FTX在世时是USDC重要的使用方，帮助USDC拓展了交易所场景；FTX垮台后，Backpack继续扛起“稳定币交易所”的大旗，大量采用USDC作为美元计价和清算工具panewslab.com。虽然我们没有公开材料直接指出Backpack已与Circle签署合作协议，但Backpack推出USD/USDC通道的举措实际是在推动USDC的使用，这与Circle致力于扩大USDC应用的战略不谋而合circle.com。Circle近年来打造跨境支付网络，与多家交易平台和金融机构合作提供法币-稳定币转换服务circle.com。因此，有理由相信Backpack在后台利用了Circle的流动性或API来实现用户提币时的USDC兑换和赎回。比如，当用户在Backpack提取美元，Backpack可能将等额USDC通过Circle赎回成美元，Circle则将该美元汇入Backpack的银行账户进行出金。这种模式其实正是Circle提供给企业客户的“稳定币托管清算”服务之一circle.com。换言之，Circle充当了Backpack法币出金链条中的关键一环，尽管普通用户感知不到它的存在。反过来看Amber，作为全球领先的做市商，也大量使用USDC进行交易和结算，Amber与Circle之间亦可能有直接合作关系（如参与Circle的伙伴计划等）。可以说，Circle及其USDC网络构成了FTX时代和Backpack时代连接传统金融和加密世界的桥梁：FTX和Backpack都踩在这座桥上快速发展，而Amber作为市场参与者，同样频繁走这座桥，为自身和伙伴创造价值。

• Equals Money（英国电子货币机构）： 前文提及，Equals Money PLC 在Backpack的出金过程中显现出来btcxiaolinzi.top。这家公司提供面向企业的银行即服务(BaaS)，允许像Backpack这样的客户通过其平台发起全球付款。Equals Money的出现意味着Backpack选择了一条灵活的合规路径来实现银行转账功能：相比直接开设传统银行账户，使用EMI能更快获取支付能力且准入门槛较低。FTX时期并未传出使用EMI的消息，因为当时FTX可直接依赖自己的银行关系网（例如通过位于美国、欧洲的自有账户）来处理汇款。然而在后FTX时代，许多加密公司（包括Amber）都在寻找新的银行替代方案，EMI因此受到青睐。具体联系： 根据实测，Backpack用户提现美元到Wise时，Wise收到的汇款来自Equals Moneybtcxiaolinzi.top。Wise作为跨境汇款平台，其收款机制对资金来源要求严格，但Equals Money持有FCA牌照，属于受监管机构，Wise接收来自Equals的资金被视为合规btcxiaolinzi.top。由此推断，Backpack通过Equals的企业账户，将兑换好的美元直接打给用户填入的收款账号（包括Wise提供的虚拟账号）。这表明Backpack和Equals Money之间有直接业务往来，Equals是Backpack法币出金服务链条上的合作伙伴。值得一提的是，Amber Group 此前在欧洲也曾探索电子货币牌照或合作渠道的可能，尽管无法确认Amber是否也使用Equals，但不排除Amber为Backpack牵线搭桥、推荐了Equals这类服务商的可能性。

综合来看， Circle和Equals Money分别代表了稳定币清算层和法币支付层的基础设施，与Backpack/FTX/Amber的联系体现为：Circle提供“链上到链下”的美元流动性支持，Equals提供“链下”最后一公里的银行网络接口。三者之所以都选择/使用这些渠道，是因为它们共享了对加密法币融合效率的追求。对于FTX和Backpack而言，这些渠道是业务方案的一部分；对于Amber而言，这些渠道是服务布局和投资的一环（Amber支持的交易所采用了这些方案，也间接符合Amber推动行业基础设施完善的利益）。

“交叉代币解锁”机制与链上协作迹象

“交叉代币解锁”是指Amber、Backpack（或其关联项目）之间通过持有彼此发行的代币，并利用协议合作、解锁计划或链上交易，实现协同利益的一种机制。鉴于Backpack尚处于发展初期，我们需要探讨哪些代币或资产可能涉及双方的互动：

• Backpack 平台代币的潜在发行： 根据Backpack社区的信息，平台计划通过交易积分空投方式向活跃用户发放代币资格btcxiaolinzi.top。这暗示Backpack未来会推出自己的平台代币。若真如此，早期投资方（包括Amber Group）很可能在代币经济中占有一席之地，例如通过投资协议获得一定比例的平台代币配额。在代币正式解锁流通时，Amber等机构投资者将持有相应份额。这就产生了潜在的“交叉代币”联系：Amber持有Backpack的代币，并可在协议允许的时间窗口解锁出售或利用。这种关系一方面绑定了Amber与Backpack的长期利益，另一方面也为Amber提供了在二级市场获利或支持Backpack代币市值的机会。如果Backpack设计代币经济时有锁仓解锁期，那么Amber的代币解锁时间和数量将受到协议约束。从链上数据看，未来可以观察这些大额代币解锁地址是否与Amber的钱包存在关联，以验证Amber对Backpack代币的处置行为。当前，由于Backpack代币尚未发行，我们只能提出这一推测性机制，等待后续链上数据来印证。

• Amber 持仓代币与Backpack业务的协同： 反之，Amber Group 或其子基金本身持有众多加密资产，是否有与Backpack生态互动的情况？例如，Amber可能持有某些与Backpack生态有关的项目代币（如Solana链上资产，Backpack钱包支持的特定NFT/代币等）。一个案例是Backpack团队曾在Solana上发行受欢迎的 xNFT系列“Mαd Lads”NFTlearn.backpack.exchange。Amber或其投资部门是否参与了该NFT的投资或持有尚无公开资料，但不排除Amber透过场内交易购买一些以支持Backpack生态热度。再者，如果Amber在其他项目上持有代币，而Backpack平台上线这些资产交易，Amber可能通过链上转账将流动性注入Backpack，从而实现双方受益——Amber获得流动性做市收益，Backpack获得交易量和资产丰富度。这可以视作一种链上协作。例如Amber持有大量某种代币X，在Backpack上新上线代币X交易对时，Amber账户向Backpack的热钱包充值代币X提供初始流动性。这样的行为在链上会呈现Amber已知地址向Backpack地址的大额转账。如果将来这些数据出现，将成为印证双方链上合作的直接证据。目前，此类链上轨迹还未有公开披露，我们只能假设其存在的可能性。

• FTX 遗留资产与Backpack 的关联： 另一个值得一提的链上观察维度是FTX/Alameda遗留资产的动向。FTX倒闭后，其相关钱包曾多次异动。Backpack团队作为前员工，有可能知晓某些地址或资产的情况。但由于破产清算在法庭监管下进行，直接将FTX遗留资产转给新项目不太现实。不过，不排除某些前Alameda投资的项目代币后来为Backpack团队所用。例如，Alameda早期投资的项目若代币解锁，Backpack团队个人可能持有部分并用于新平台的流动性。这种间接关联较难确认，但链上仍可寻找蛛丝马迹，比如监测前Alameda标识的钱包与Backpack相关地址之间的交易。如果有频繁互动，可能暗示Backpack获取了Alameda旧有资产的支持。至今未见显著证据，推测空间大于实证。

小结： “交叉代币解锁”机制目前更多停留在理论推演层面。我们确认了Backpack未来存在发行平台代币的规划btcxiaolinzi.top；也确认Amber作为投资方大概率会获得并持有该代币份额。但具体的锁仓解锁安排、双方是否会通过特殊协议（如做市激励、流动性挖矿等）进行合作，还有待官方披露或链上数据验证。链上分析工具可以在未来帮助捕捉Amber地址与Backpack生态代币/NFT的交互，从而揭示深层协作。如果发现Amber旗下地址在Backpack代币解锁后立即大量转入交易所，可能意味着Amber选择变现；反之，若锁定期内就有灰度交易发生，甚至可能存在双方提前约定的场外交换。这些都是值得持续监测的方向，但就目前信息来看，尚无定论。

\ 图：FTX、Amber Group 与 Backpack 三者关系示意图。红色/橙色线表示团队和股权延续（FTX前员工和投资延续到Backpack，Amber参与投资并可能提供流动性）；蓝色线表示Backpack法币出金所依赖的稳定币清算和银行通道（通过USDC及Equals Money实现）；灰色虚线表示FTX和Amber分别与USDC发行方Circle在业务上的联系。这些关系共同构成了Backpack在FTX余荫和Amber支持下快速搭建全球业务的基础。

关键证据与信息缺口

通过上述分析，我们梳理了已知的信息链条，并挖掘了若干可能的隐秘关联，同时也识别出需要进一步调查的信息空白：

• 明确的证据链： 我们找到了多项公开资料证明Backpack与FTX/Amber的联系：包括创始团队来自FTX/Alamedacoinspeaker.com、FTX Ventures 曾投资Backpack母公司nftgators.com、Amber Group 参与了Backpack的融资coinspeaker.com、多名FTX旧部现在Backpack任职coinspeaker.com等。这些形成了人员和资金延续的直接证据。另外，通过用户分享和代码库，我们确认Backpack法币出金使用了Equals Money通道btcxiaolinzi.top并提供了0手续费的USD/USDC转换panewslab.com——这证明了Backpack确实建立了类似FTX当年的稳定币清算架构，只是技术实现上借助了新的合作方(Equals Money)。这些证据支撑了本文的大部分推论基础。

• 合理的推测与佐证： 有些关联尚无官方公告证明，但基于行业惯例和现有线索推测合理，并有部分侧面佐证。例如，Amber 为Backpack提供做市流动性支援一事，没有直接新闻来源，但考虑到Amber投资交易所的动机和能力，此推断具有高概率可靠性。再如，Backpack疑似使用Circle的USDC清算服务，虽无明示，但从其业务模式和Circle的产品定位来看circle.com，这一幕后合作应该存在。同样地，Amber可能通过非公开方式向Backpack输出技术/合规支持，也是基于双方利益绑定关系而做出的推断。这些推测目前缺乏直接证据，只能算作可能性假设，需要后续留意更多细节披露。

• 信息缺口与待验证点： 首先，关于Backpack具体的清算路径，我们仍不清楚它如何在链上/链下转换巨额USDC为法币。虽然Equals Money出现在汇款端btcxiaolinzi.top，但在那之前USDC的结算或许涉及Circle或其他做市商（如Amber）——这部分交易发生在后台，需更多技术信息或链上监控来捕捉。其次，Amber与Backpack之间除股权外是否存在合同约定的业务合作（如Amber成为指定做市商、提供信贷支持等）目前尚未公开，属于信息真空。第三，Backpack未来的代币发行和分配细节未知，Amber等投资方将如何参与、解锁周期如何，将直接影响“交叉代币”协作的发生与否，需等官方白皮书出台。第四，更多链上证据的挖掘：由于没有公开的钱包标签，很难直接将某条链上交易指认属于Amber或Backpack。但如果未来Backpack发行代币或大型交易上线，链上必然会出现相关资金流，我们可以通过已知Amber常用地址（如果有披露）来交叉比对，看其是否与Backpack生态有交互。这是一块需要进一步研究的领域，可能借助区块链分析工具和交易图谱来补全证据。最后，还有监管和法律结构的信息：例如Backpack在不同司法管辖区的注册实体与银行账号详情，FTX遗产处理过程中是否对Backpack团队有约束，这些在公开资料中都尚无答案。

结论

综合全篇分析，Backpack、Amber Group 与已倒闭的FTX之间确实存在千丝万缕的延续和关联。Backpack可以被视作FTX精神和技术路线的“继承者”之一——由FTX旧将创建，在FTX垮台造成的市场空白中迅速崛起coinspeaker.com。Amber Group 则扮演了重要的扶持者角色，通过投资和可能的资源注入，参与了Backpack的重建过程coinspeaker.com。在具体业务层面，Backpack延续了FTX时代的创新，如高效的稳定币清算和全球化业务布局，但为了适应新的环境，它也采用了新的工具（如Equals Money的出金渠道）和更严格的合规措施（迪拜等地的牌照）coinspeaker.com。这一切背后，隐现着Amber等老牌加密公司的身影支持，以及Circle等基础设施提供商的支撑。

当然，隐秘关联并不意味着不正当行为，上述关系很多是基于正常的商业合作和延续，只是未明言于公众。例如，前FTX团队利用自己的经验和人脉创建新平台，本身无可厚非；Amber投资新交易所也是市场行为。从推理和现有证据看，并没有直接迹象显示三者存在违法的秘密勾连。然而，对于研究者和行业观察者而言，了解这些联系有助于洞察加密行业格局的演变：FTX的倒下并未让其积累的人才和思想消失，反而通过创业和投资，以新的形式（Backpack）继续影响市场；Amber等老牌玩家则通过战略投资，将自己的版图延伸到新兴平台，以保持竞争力。

未来展望： 随着Backpack进一步发展，我们预计会有更多信息浮出水面来验证或修正上述假设。例如，Backpack若推出平台代币，其投资人持仓和解锁情况将记录在链，从而揭示Amber等的参与细节；再比如，Backpack进入美国市场时需要公开其合作银行或支付伙伴，届时我们可能印证Circle等在其中的角色。如果出现新的合作公告或监管披露文件，也能帮助我们更清晰地绘制三者关系网。目前的信息不对称使我们只能尽力拼凑一幅关联图景，并针对关键环节提供已知证据支持。仍存在的一些信息缺口需要持续跟进调查。总之，Backpack、Amber Group 与FTX的故事折射出加密行业的新旧交替与传承。在FTX的余烬上，新火花正在由熟悉旧世界的人点燃，而这些火花能否照亮一个更加合规稳健的未来，还有待时间检验。 nftgators.comcoinspeaker.com

Backpack 平台 USDC 出金渠道深度研究报告

背景简介

Backpack 是近年来崛起的加密交易与钱包平台，由前 FTX/Alameda 团队成员创立coindesk.comfinsmes.com。2024 年初 Backpack 曾宣布与 Banxa 合作提供法币出入金服务，支持130多个国家用户使用信用卡/银行渠道买卖加密资产learn.backpack.exchange。2025 年 5 月，Backpack 官方更是推出“0 手续费”的 USD⇄USDC 出金通道，允许用户通过电汇将 USDC 1:1 无损兑换为美元并提取到银行账户lianpr.combinance.com。本报告将详细分析 Backpack 当前的出金方式及其合作渠道、低成本运营的原因、Backpack 与支付机构 Equals Money 的关系，并探讨如果搭建类似的加密金融服务，应如何与 USDC 发行方 Circle 建立合作。

Backpack 的 USDC 出金方式与合作渠道

USD⇄USDC 零手续费通道 – Backpack Exchange 已面向全球用户开放美元与 USDC 间的法币转换，并永久免除任何手续费23btc.com。用户完成 KYC 验证后，可以通过 电汇（Wire Transfer） 将美元直接充值到 Backpack 平台获取等值 USDC，或将持有的 USDC 提现兑换为美元电汇至本人银行账户binance.com。据官方介绍，该通道具备“三大核心优势”：一是零摩擦转换，实现美元与 USDC 间的无缝1:1兑换；二是即时到账，宣称电汇入金/提现可秒级处理；三是全球覆盖，后续将支持 ACH、SEPA 等本地清算网络23btc.com。

合作金融机构 – 为实现合规的法币收付，Backpack 并非自行持有银行牌照，而是借助第三方持牌机构的通道来托管用户的法币资金assets.ctfassets.net。有迹象表明 Backpack 使用了英国的电子货币机构 Equals Money 作为其出入金通道之一：在其开源代码中，Backpack 将“EqualsMoney”集成为一个区块链/支付网络类型github.com。这意味着 Backpack 平台可以通过 Equals Money 提供的多币种账户和支付网络，来代收用户的银行转账并代付提现资金。除了英国渠道，Backpack 集团在全球多地布有实体，以拓展支付能力。例如，用户实测的电汇显示汇款方为 “Trek Labs Australia Pty Ltd”（Backpack 在澳大利亚的子公司）medium.com。这家公司作为汇款主体将等值美元汇出到用户银行账户。除澳洲外，Backpack 背后的 Trek Labs 集团还在迪拜设有 Trek Labs Ltd FZE，在立陶宛设有 Trek Labs UAB，在美国设有 Trek Labs, Inc.medium.com。这种全球子公司布局使 Backpack 能借助各地区的合作银行或支付机构完成跨境资金结算，覆盖包括欧美、亚太在内的广阔用户群。

出金流程 – 用户在 Backpack 平台发起 USDC 提现时，平台会通过上述合作渠道将用户的 USDC 兑换为等额法币，并由托管金融机构从其法币池中汇出资金。比如，当用户提取 1,000 USDC 到香港银行账户，Backpack 将该 USDC 转换为 1,000 美元，由合作机构通过 SWIFT 电汇发送。用户可在 Backpack 后台实时查询电汇状态medium.com。实际测试显示，从提现到款项到账香港银行大约耗时36小时（约1.5个工作日）medium.com。汇款时收款行信息需要用户自行提供并添加到平台，如收款行名称、地址、SWIFT代码等medium.com。Backpack 平台本身要求用户的银行账户姓名与平台注册姓名一致，以确保合规。assets.ctfassets.netassets.ctfassets.net

低成本出金的架构与原因

Backpack 能提供零手续费的稳定币出金服务，得益于其结算架构设计和合规路径上的优势，使其运营成本得以控制在极低水平：

• Stablecoin 即时清算：Backpack 利用 USDC 稳定币作为桥梁，实现用户资金在链上和银行账户之间的快速清算。由于 USDC 与美元1:1锚定，兑换过程中没有汇率损耗或价差成本lianpr.com。平台内美元和 USDC 的余额转换也是按面值对等，不收取点差，这实现了资金的“零摩擦”兑换23btc.com。相比传统银行汇款需要经过多级代理和 Forex 转换，Stablecoin 的使用大幅降低了兑换费用和时间延迟。

• 第三方牌照通道：Backpack 选择通过持牌支付机构（如 Equals Money 等）来承载法币收付功能，而非自行作为汇款人展开业务。这种策略绕开了平台直接获取银行牌照或支付牌照的高成本投入，转而借用第三方机构的现有牌照和账户网络。例如，Equals Money作为英国受监管的电子货币机构，拥有多币种账户和全球汇款能力。Backpack 通过 API 接入该机构后，相当于获取了一套现成的银行基础设施，可以以较低费用发送SWIFT、电汇等github.com。第三方机构通常按照交易量收取较小的服务费，Backpack 可以在当前发展阶段予以补贴，从而对用户“免手续费”。这种“牌照即服务”的模式使 Backpack 将合规成本外包，自己专注于用户和交易环节。

• 合规及监管路径：Backpack 利用多个辖区的子公司布局，根据各地监管环境选择最优的出金路径。例如，在欧洲可能通过立陶宛子公司对接 EU 区的支付网络，在亚洲通过澳大利亚子公司汇出 SWIFT。medium.com这种灵活性使他们能规避单一地区监管限制，选择成本最低、效率最高的清算通道完成提现。此外，多实体运营也有助于分散风险，符合各地反洗钱要求，为零手续费策略提供合规保障。

• 资金结算与收益：尽管对用户宣称0手续费，Backpack 可能通过其他方式覆盖成本。例如，用户的法币资金在汇出前可能短暂存放于合作机构的池中，这些资金量若较大，可产生利息收益，用于弥补转账费用coindesk.com。另外，Backpack 平台的主要收入来自交易手续费和利息产品等，高频交易活动带来的收入能够补贴出金通道的成本，从整体上实现盈亏平衡。

值得注意的是，“0 手续费”指的是 Backpack 平台本身不向用户收取出金手续费，但并不意味着整个过程完全免费。银行端的固定费用仍可能存在。例如，有用户反馈，通过 Backpack 将 USDC 提现到香港 ZA Bank 账户时，Backpack 未收取费用，但 ZA Bank 会收取一次性 20 美元的入账费用twitter.com。类似地，美国银行接收国际电汇通常也会有每笔 15\~30 美元不等的手续费。这些费用属于收款行或中间行收费，并非 Backpack 或其合作方收取。即便如此，相比传统OTC中介或其他交易所的出金方案，Backpack 的整体成本依然极低——没有额外的汇兑损耗，仅需承担银行常规入账费，大额提现尤为划算。一位资深用户将 Backpack 提现称为“目前最优、最简单的合规出金路径”，反馈资金1天左右即到账，流程非常顺畅x.com。可见，Backpack 通过精心搭建的结算架构，实现了高效低成本的出金服务，在合规前提下大大降低了用户将数字资产变现的门槛。

Backpack 与 Equals Money 的关系考察

Equals Money 背景 – Equals Money 是英国上市金融科技公司 Equals Group PLC 旗下的支付业务品牌，提供多币种电子账户、国际汇款和企业外汇兑换等服务。该公司前身为 FairFX，持有英国金融行为监管局（FCA）颁发的电子货币机构牌照，主营为企业客户提供全球支付解决方案fxcintel.com。简单来说，Equals Money 扮演的是受监管的“非银行支付平台”角色，可为合作伙伴提供银行账户托管和跨境支付通道。对于缺乏自有牌照的加密公司而言，与这类机构合作能快速获得法币收付能力。

业务合作关系 – 目前公开信息并未有 Backpack 与 Equals Money 签署官方战略合作的公告，但从技术集成和业务逻辑上看，两者存在密切的业务往来。Backpack 在代码库中增添了对 “EqualsMoney” 的支持选项github.com表明其系统已经对接了 Equals 提供的支付 API。在用户充值/提现时，Backpack 系统可以将指令通过该接口发送给 Equals，由后者执行实际的银行转账操作（如从对应的用户托管账户划款）。换言之，Equals Money可能充当了 Backpack 用户法币资金的托管方和结算代理。还有用户实测提到，从 Backpack 提现美元时，资金是由 “Trek Labs Australia Pty Ltd” 汇出medium.com。结合上下文，推测 Trek Labs Australia 这家 Backpack 子公司可能在 Equals Money或类似机构开设了运营账户，用于统一汇出用户提现款项。这个细节侧面印证了 Backpack 利用第三方支付平台进行法币结算：汇款主体虽然名义上是 Backpack 关联公司，但实际的支付通道和银行接口由 Equals Money 等持牌机构提供支持。

人员和投资交集 – 在股权和团队层面，暂未发现 Backpack 与 Equals Money 有直接的交叉。Backpack 的融资由加密领域的风投基金主导（Placeholder、Hashed、Amber Group 等）finsmes.com，并无公开提及来自 Equals 集团的投资。管理团队方面，Backpack 由前加密交易所从业者主导，而 Equals Money 属于传统金融支付行业，公司高管以金融背景为主，目前没有明显的人事重合记录。此外，Equals Group PLC 在2024年底宣布将被嵌入式金融公司 Railsr 收购thisweekinfintech.com（该交易有待监管批准），这属于其自身战略调整，与 Backpack 无直接关联。总体来看，Backpack 与 Equals Money 更可能是一种商业合作关系：Backpack 作为客户接入 Equals Money 的支付服务，以使用其许可和网络；双方在产权和团队上保持独立。此类合作在金融科技领域较为常见，属于优势互补：加密平台获取法币通道，支付机构拓展客户和资金流量。

合作的意义 – 通过与 Equals Money 等机构合作，Backpack 实现了快速合规地打通法币出入口，在竞争激烈的交易所市场上形成差异化优势。用户能够享受到类似银行级别的出金体验（直接电汇到账）且几乎零成本x.com，这极大增强了 Backpack 平台的吸引力和资金留存率。对 Equals Money 而言，服务 Backpack 这样高增长的加密客户，也为其带来了可观的跨境支付业务量和创新合作机遇。在严格遵守反洗钱和监管要求的前提下，这种加密与传统金融的合作模式，展现了融合创新的前景。

搭建类似业务与 Circle 合作的要点

假如希望搭建与 Backpack 类似的稳定币出入金架构，与 USDC 发行方 Circle 建立合作是关键一步。Circle 提供针对企业的账户服务和 API接口，使合作方能够方便地在应用中集成 USDC 与法币的转换和支付功能circle.comcircle.com。以下是与 Circle 合作时需要关注的主要要点：

• 主体资格
  需要有合法注册的公司实体，并处于 Circle 支持的地区（如北美、欧洲等）。Circle 暂不向个人用户开放其直接铸币/赎回服务，仅面向机构客户。
• 业务规模要求
  主要针对大体量、批量使用 USDC 的公司，例如交易所、托管机构、数字钱包平台或银行等。若业务量较小，Circle 会建议通过第三方交易所获取 USDC。

• KYC 合规审查
  对申请企业进行严格的背景尽调，包括高管和受益人身份验证、注册信息、经营范围、反洗钱和制裁风险评估等。需提供公司注册证书、人员身份证明、合规方案等，审核时间通常为数天至数周。

• 账户功能
  审核通过后可开立 Circle 账户，支持将银行资金充值并自动兑换为 USDC，或将 USDC 赎回为法币并电汇到指定银行账户；涵盖链上转账、ACH 和电汇等多种渠道。

• API 接入
  提供完整的 REST API 和 SDK，支持自动化发起电汇兑换、铸造/销毁 USDC、提现等操作，合作方只需专注前端体验，后端支付和结算由 Circle 处理。

• 费用结构
  对符合条件的合作伙伴铸造/赎回 USDC 不收手续费；法币转账需承担银行或中间行手续费。支持免费 ACH 通道，国际电汇按银行标准收费。

• 合规责任
  Circle 对企业客户履行 KYC/AML 义务，但合作方若面向终端用户提供服务，也需自行做用户审核与交易监控，并在高金额转账时传输用户身份信息（Travel Rule）。

合作流程：实际操作中，搭建团队需要先在 Circle 官网提交企业账户申请，提供相关资料并通过合规审核circle.com。拿到账户后，可登录 Circle 提供的业务后台或通过 API Sandbox 进行测试集成，熟悉 USDC 钱包、法币钱包的操作。一旦准备就绪，即可将功能推向生产环境，为用户开通 USDC 与法币的双向兑换。值得注意的是，企业应根据所服务用户区域，获取必要的当地监管许可或豁免。例如在美国需要遵守联邦和州级货币转移许可证要求，在欧盟则可能利用立陶宛等国的数字资产服务牌照。这与 Backpack 多地布局子公司的做法类似，都是为了符合法规开展业务。

成功案例：除了 Backpack，业内已有多家知名机构通过与 Circle 合作开展稳定币支付业务。例如 Binance 与 Circle 达成战略合作，使其平台更广泛支持 USDCfortune.com；支付公司 Stripe 也集成了 Circle API，在其产品中新增了稳定币收付功能stables.money。这些案例表明，通过 Circle 提供的基础设施，加密公司可以较为迅速地搭建起合规、高效的法币⇄稳定币出入金体系，触达全球80多个国家的用户circle.com。因此，对于希望复制 Backpack 模式的新创团队而言，提早布局与 Circle 等发行方的合作，并搭建完善的合规架构，将是取得监管认可和市场竞争优势的关键。

结论

Backpack 平台通过巧妙融合稳定币技术和传统金融渠道，打造出了低成本、高效率的USD⇄USDC出金方案。在无需用户承担手续费的情况下，依托 Equals Money 等支付伙伴和自身全球子公司网络，实现了合规的美元电汇快速到账23btc.commedium.com。这一模式的成功在于对结算架构的创新设计和对监管资源的充分利用：既发挥了 USDC 稳定币实时、低成本的优势，又借力持牌金融机构解决了法币合规问题。这为行业树立了一个范例。

对于有意搭建类似业务的团队，与 Circle 建立合作无疑是重要的一环。Circle 提供了成熟的 USDC 基础设施，只要申请企业拥有足够的资质和规模，通过严格的 KYC 审核后即可获得稳定币铸造和法币结算的能力circle.comcircle.com。在此基础上，新业务还需结合自身情况选择适当的支付合作方和注册管辖地，搭建自己的合规“护城河”。只有技术与合规并重，才能如同 Backpack 一样，在保证低成本出金的同时，赢得监管许可和用户信赖。

01 - How it works: P2P platforms connect buyers and sellers directly, allowing them to negotiate specific terms. 02 - Tips: Check the seller's reputation and use platforms that offer escrow services or transaction guarantees.

Security is crucial when handling Bitcoin. Proper storage protects your funds against loss, hacking, and unauthorized access.

• Digital Wallets:

01 - Definition: A digital wallet is software or a physical device that stores the private keys needed to access your Bitcoin.

Types of Wallets:

01 - Hot wallets: Connected to the internet; suitable for frequent use but more vulnerable to attacks (e.g., mobile apps and web wallets). 02 - Cold wallets: Keep Bitcoin offline; more secure for storing large amounts (e.g., hardware wallets and paper wallets).

• Hardware Wallets:

01 - How they work: Physical devices like Ledger or Trezor store your private keys offline. 02 - Advantages: High security against digital attacks and easy to transport.

• Paper Wallets:

01 - How they work: Involve printing or writing down your private keys on a piece of paper. 02 - Precautions: Store in a safe place, protected from moisture, fire, and unauthorized access.

• Backup and Recovery:

01 - Best practice: Regularly back up your wallet and store your recovery phrase (seed phrase) in a secure location. 02 - Warning: Never share your recovery phrase or private key with anyone.

Using Bitcoin goes beyond investment. It can be used for daily transactions, purchases, and transferring value efficiently.

• Transactions:

01 - How to send Bitcoin: Enter the recipient’s address, the amount to send, and confirm the transaction from your wallet. 02 - Fees: Transaction fees go to miners and may vary based on network demand.

• Purchasing Goods and Services:

01 - Merchants that accept Bitcoin: Many businesses, both physical and online, now accept Bitcoin. Look for the Bitcoin logo or consult updated lists of accepting merchants. 02 - How to pay: Scan the seller’s QR code and send the payment directly from your wallet.

International Transfers: Bitcoin enables fast global transfers, often with lower fees than banks or conventional remittance services.

Bill Payments: In some countries, it's already possible to pay for services and even taxes with Bitcoin, depending on local infrastructure.

• Tips for Using Bitcoin Safely:

01 - Choose trusted wallets and services: Only use well-known, reputable wallets and exchanges. 02 - Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): Activate 2FA to protect your accounts on exchanges and online services. 03 - Don’t leave funds on exchanges: After buying Bitcoin on an exchange, transfer your funds to a wallet you control to reduce the risk of loss from hacks. 04 - Educate yourself: Understanding the basics of Bitcoin and digital security is key to avoiding mistakes and fraud.

In summary, buying, storing, and using Bitcoin might seem complex at first, but it becomes simple and accessible with time. By following best security practices and learning the basics, anyone can benefit from this innovative technology.

Bitcoin is not just a financial option; it’s a powerful tool that supports economic freedom and access to a global economy. With the right knowledge, you can integrate Bitcoin into your life securely and effectively.

Thank you very much for reading this far. I hope everything is well with you, and sending a big hug from your favorite Bitcoiner maximalist from Madeira. Long live freedom!

A detailed breakdown of the recent debate around Bitcoin Core’s proposed policy change to OP_RETURN — and why it’s less dramatic than some fear.

---

TL;DR

Removing the 80-byte OP_RETURN limit is a mempool policy cleanup, not a consensus rule change. It reduces UTXO bloat, improves relay consistency, and doesn’t affect Bitcoin’s monetary properties or block size limits.

---

What Is OP_RETURN?

OP_RETURN is a Bitcoin script opcode introduced in 2014 (Bitcoin Core 0.9.0) to allow small amounts of arbitrary data to be embedded in transactions. Crucially, it creates provably unspendable outputs, preventing UTXO set pollution.

A default policy limit of 80 bytes was added to discourage non-payment data usage while still allowing basic use cases (e.g., hashes, commitments).

---

Why Was OP_RETURN Added? (Bitcoin Core 0.9, March 2014)

When OP_RETURN was introduced, it wasn’t to promote on-chain data — it was a harm-reduction tool:

“This change is not an endorsement of storing data in the blockchain... [It] creates a provably-prunable output, to avoid data storage schemes... storing arbitrary data... bloating Bitcoin’s UTXO database.” — Bitcoin Core 0.9 Release Notes

Before that, users embedded data in fake outputs, bloating the UTXO set and degrading node performance.

OP_RETURN made those outputs prunable and cleaner, though it imposed an 80-byte policy cap — not a consensus rule.

---

What’s Actually Changing?

Bitcoin Core PR #32359 proposes:

• Removing the 80-byte policy limit on OP_RETURN data
• Removing the -datacarrier and -datacarriersize configuration options
• Default behavior will now relay (and mine) larger OP_RETURNs

⚠️ This is not a consensus change. Blocks stay limited to \~4MB. No rules about block validity are altered.

---

Why It’s Not a Big Deal

• ✅ Consensus stays the same: No risk of chain splits
• ✅ Block size stays capped (\~4MB)
• ✅ You can still run Bitcoin Knots if you prefer stricter policies
• ✅ Transaction size limit (\~100KB) remains for DoS protection

Bottom line: This is a configuration tweak to improve consistency between nodes and miners.

---

Common Uses of OP_RETURN

• Timestamping
• Cross-chain anchoring (e.g., merge-mined sidechains)
• Asset issuance (e.g., Omni/Tether)
• Notarization and commitments
• Metadata for protocols like Citrea

📝 In contrast, Ordinal inscriptions use witness data; Stamps use fake outputs — not OP_RETURN.

---

Arguments For Removing the Limit

1. The limit is ineffective — easily bypassed via witness/multisig/fake outputs
2. Cleaner data paths — prevents UTXO bloat from “Stamp”-style tricks
3. Reflects mining reality — miners already include these transactions
4. Improves relay/mempool consistency
5. Avoids centralization risks — removes miner advantages from custom policies
6. Enables metaprotocols — safely embed structured metadata without abusing Bitcoin’s core design

---

Arguments Against Removing the Limit

1. Risk of encouraging non-monetary use
2. Fears of "spam" or NFT-like inscriptions
3. Concerns over governance process
4. Perceived erosion of Bitcoin’s monetary purity

🧠 Note: The 80-byte cap was policy, not consensus. Removing it doesn’t allow anything that wasn’t already valid on-chain.

---

Policy vs. Consensus

• Policy rules affect relay and mempool behavior
• Consensus rules affect what blocks are considered valid

Large OP_RETURNs are already valid. The inconsistency is that many nodes don’t relay them, while miners do include them. This change aligns relay with mining, improving propagation and fee estimation.

---

Bitcoin Knots: A Protest Client

Bitcoin Knots (maintained by Luke Dashjr) retains the old 80-byte policy. After the PR surfaced, some users switched to Knots as a protest.

According to Matthew R. Kratter, Bitcoin Knots briefly surpassed Core 29.0 in node count during early 2025 — but this spike appears to have been driven more by timing mismatches between release cycles and a coordinated protest campaign, rather than a durable shift in user adoption. In fact, most Bitcoin nodes today still run older versions of Core. As of May 2025, Core 28.1.0 alone accounts for over 21% of nodes, while Core 29.0.0 sits below 6%, and Knots 20250305 trails at just over 6% — suggesting that the majority of the network remains on pre-29 Core versions rather than switching to Knots en masse.

---

Broader Implications

• 🛠️ Highlights tensions between devs, miners, and users over governance
• 🧭 Shows how non-consensus rules can impact perceived neutrality
• 🧪 Sparks renewed focus on tooling (e.g., ASMap, better banlists, relay filtering)
• 🔐 Reaffirms user sovereignty through client diversity

---

Final Thoughts

Removing the OP_RETURN limit aligns Bitcoin Core’s policy with reality — what’s already getting mined — while cleaning up harmful workarounds.

It won’t break Bitcoin.

But it does surface deeper tensions about Bitcoin’s purpose, evolution, and who ultimately decides what gets built and accepted.

@ 80a6a657:536a97e2

The dawn of Bitcoin ushered in a transformative mission: empowering individuals and dismantling centralized power structures that erode personal freedoms. As the world’s first decentralized currency, Bitcoin offers an alternative financial system—one that transcends borders, government control, and corporate interests.

But this mission isn’t just about money. It’s about freedom. It’s about self-sovereignty. And most importantly, it’s a rallying cry for vigilance in an ongoing struggle for the liberation of humanity from systemic oppression. Who better to lead this critical mission than those who have already dedicated their lives to serving and protecting freedom: Veterans.

Freedom: A Lifelong Fight Freedom is neither freely given nor guaranteed—it is earned and fiercely preserved. Veterans understand this intimately. They have endured sacrifice, hardship, and battle in their service to protect the liberties we often take for granted. And today, freedom faces threats from a new frontier: financial manipulation, surveillance, and the centralization of power.

Governments across the globe continue to devalue currencies through inflation, tighten financial surveillance by controlling banking systems, and stifle individual autonomy. These issues underscore the need for a sound financial alternative, one that aligns with the ideals veterans have sworn to uphold. The solution? Bitcoin.

Bitcoin represents the antithesis of centralized control. It is censorship-resistant, immune to monetary debasement, and built upon a trustless, transparent system. It is not merely a currency; it is a tool for human liberation.

Vigilance in Bitcoin Adoption While Bitcoin adoption grows, the journey is far from complete. The powerful status quo—central banks, governments, and financial elites—does not take threats to its systems lightly. These entities work tirelessly to misinform, regulate, and marginalize Bitcoin. This makes sustained vigilance in promoting Bitcoin adoption not just important, but essential.

The failure to remain vigilant could see Bitcoin’s potential diminished through undue regulation, controlled implementation (such as CBDCs—Central Bank Digital Currencies), or a failure to educate people about its benefits. Complacency would mean ceding victory to oppressive systems the world over.

This is why Bitcoin adoption isn’t solely a technological phenomenon—it is an ideological mission. To resist control, to safeguard freedom, and to empower individuals to thrive under self-sovereignty requires the active participation of people across all sectors of society.

Why Veterans Are Uniquely Positioned to Lead Veterans are inherently equipped to lead the charge in the fight for Bitcoin adoption and the broader battle for freedom. Their unique skillsets, shaped by discipline, adaptability, and leadership under pressure, are perfectly suited to this challenge. Here’s why veterans play a pivotal role in this movement: 1. Leadership and Vision: Veterans are natural leaders. They can galvanize communities toward a vision of financial independence, self-sovereignty, and empowerment through Bitcoin. Their experience coordinating efforts—whether on the battlefield or in humanitarian missions—allows them to efficiently communicate the importance of Bitcoin adoption. 2. Commitment to Freedom: The fight for Bitcoin adoption is deeply aligned with the ethos of service members: defending freedom at all costs. Veterans understand that true freedom cannot persist without vigilance, sacrifice, and a commitment to challenging oppressive systems. 3. Trust and Credibility: The military often fosters a level of trust and camaraderie among people. Veterans, therefore, have the clout to introduce Bitcoin to communities that may otherwise view it with skepticism. Their credibility as protectors of freedom gives them an edge in delivering Bitcoin’s message of liberation. 4. Adaptability in Uncertain Environments: Just as they’ve thrived in complex and chaotic environments, veterans are poised to navigate the evolving financial landscape. Bitcoin is still maturing and faces regulatory challenges, technological hurdles, and cultural misunderstandings. Veterans excel at adapting to change and finding solutions in challenging circumstances. 5. Mission-Driven Mindset: Every mission has an objective, and every objective demands clear focus. Veterans approach tasks methodically and with a commitment to success—the same mindset required to bridge the gap between Bitcoin skepticism and widespread adoption.

The Call to Action Veterans, the mission isn’t over. Humanity stands at a crossroads, and freedom is at stake. Bitcoin is not just a disruptive technology; it’s the torchbearer of liberty in a world increasingly dominated by centralized control. It’s time to take the skills, discipline, and passion forged in your service and channel them into this new fight: the fight for financial freedom and independence from a centralized system that has dominated the lives of billions of people for far too long.

Educate yourself about Bitcoin. Learn its nuances, its strengths, and its use cases. Share this knowledge with your communities, help dismantle misconceptions, and shine a light on the real promise of self-sovereignty. Become an anchor of leadership in this decentralized revolution.

For civilians: do not underestimate the importance of this mission. Every individual who adopts Bitcoin drives us one step closer to a world where personal freedom and economic empowerment are accessible to all. Join arms with veterans, thought leaders, and Bitcoin adopters to ensure the torch of liberty burns brightly.

Closing Thoughts Bitcoin is more than a financial revolution—it’s a movement for freedom. Veterans have long stood on the frontline for this cause, and today, they have an opportunity to champion it in a new way. With vigilance, resolve, and determination, humanity can achieve greater levels of freedom. But, as with all efforts to secure liberty, we must remain constantly committed to the mission. Remember: freedom demands eternal vigilance. So does Bitcoin.

Will you answer the call? Together, we can reshape the future as champions of sovereignty and bring the world closer to the ideals we all deserve.

Three New U.S. State-Level Bitcoin Bills Signed Into Law

This week, three U.S. states have enacted bitcoin-related bills into law.

On Tuesday, New Hampshire became the first state to sign into law a bill that would allow for the creation of a strategic bitcoin reserve (SBR).

On Wednesday, Arizona enacted its second bill related to bitcoin, blockchain, and digital assets.

Also on Wednesday, Oregon’s governor signed a bill into law that updates the state’s commercial code to have it recognize digital assets such as bitcoin as collateral.

New Hampshire Can Now Establish An SBR

On Tuesday, New Hampshire signed HB302 into law, making it the first state in U.S. history with the legal footing to create an SBR.

New Hampshire is once again First in the Nation!

Just signed a new law allowing our state to invest in cryptocurrency and precious metals. pic.twitter.com/ua9bawZKbM

— Governor Kelly Ayotte (@KellyAyotte) May 6, 2025

The new law enables the state treasurer to invest in digital assets that have a market cap of over $500 billion. (Bitcoin is the only digital asset that currently meets this criteria.)

While the law doesn’t specifically call for the creation of an SBR, it does enable the state’s treasurer to create one.

This historic law was enacted thanks in part to the efforts of Rep. Keith Ammon, the primary sponsor for this bitcoin-related bill as well as others currently working their way through New Hampshire’s state legislature.

The enactment of this new law came on the heels of Arizona almost enacting a similar bill into law.

Arizona Governor Vetoes One Bitcoin Bill But Signs Another

On May 2, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed SB1025, which would have enabled the state treasurer and retirement system to invest 10% of their available funds into virtual currencies.

The text in the bill stated that the bill may be cited as the “Arizona Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act” and it stipulated that the term virtual currency refers to “a digital representation of value that functions as a medium of exchange, a unit of account and a store of value other than a representation of the United States dollar or a foreign currency.”

Many were quick to highlight that Governor Hobbs’ vetoing of this bill was a political misstep.

This will age poorly @katiehobbs pic.twitter.com/JOX7iaKhNV

— Jameson Lopp (@lopp) May 3, 2025

The message may have reached Governor Hobbs, as, yesterday, she signed HB2749, a bill that also establishes a state-level digital assets reserve, into law.

HB2749 amends existing state statutes on unclaimed financial property to enable the state to claim bitcoin or other digital assets that have been “abandoned” or “unclaimed” after three years.

As per this new law, Arizona will consider digital assets abandoned or unclaimed when the owner of the digital assets has not electronically accessed a digital assets account, conducted transactions in a digital assets account, and/or acted on any related account held by the same owner.

The unclaimed bitcoin and other digital assets that the state collects can be moved into a reserve.

This is the second bitcoin-related bill Governor Hobbs signed in recent weeks.

She also signed HB2342 into law on April 18.

This new law stipulates that counties may not prohibit individuals from lawfully accessing or using computational power or from running a blockchain node in a residence.

New Oregon Law Recognizes Bitcoin As Collateral

Yesterday, Oregon’s Governor Tina Kotek signed SB167 into law.

The new law updates Oregon’s Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) to incorporate digital assets.

The new law amends Article 9 of the UCC, allowing digital assets such as bitcoin to be used as collateral for mortgage payments, for example.

It also introduces Article 12 to the UCC, which serves to establish a legal framework for “controllable electronic records,” which include cryptocurrencies and tokenized records.

The new law sets the groundwork for bitcoin and other digital assets to be used within traditional financial products in Oregon.

Picking Up The Pace

Before this week, only three other bitcoin-related bills had been enacted into law.

These include the following:

• Utah’s HB0230, which was signed by Utah’s governor on March 12 and which established definitions and a regulatory framework for digital assets
• Kentucky’s HB701, which was signed by Kentucky’s governor on March 24 and which provided definitions and protections for individuals and businesses engaging with digital assets
• Arizona’s HB2342, which I discussed earlier in this piece

If the activity we saw this week is any indication of what is to come, we may see much more proposed Bitcoin legislation codified into law in the coming weeks and months.

@ bbb5dda0:f09e2747

I've been neglecting my weekly updates a bit. I haven't really gotten to them lately because i've been insanely busy frying my brains at #SovEng. And after that i haven't been keeping my weekly notes properly. WHICH I'm planning to pick back up now!

This week/ the last couple weeks I've been doing some general planning around @tollGate's appearances on various conferences around Europe! First on the list will be Pizza Day in Prague! And from there I'll be cruising straight to @Oslo Freedom Forum! For TollGate that also means getting us set up with some T-Shirts and Stickers, though not super hard to do, it's the first time I'm doing any 'marketing' like this so I did test my own patience by properly cropping and ordering the designs. So far the stickers came out well Look at our first officially baptized TollGate! :)

TollGate Installer

As we're installing versions of TollGateOS on routers quite often now I figured it'd be a good idea to streamline the experience a bit by building a TollGate Installer. I've been vibecoding it mostly, and one of the things I discovered is how easy it is to make it replicate the style of another app. To stick with the theme I told it to mirror the style of our TollGate Captive portal site and it did it perfectly!

Anyway, still a lot of manual engineering is required but at least I can outsource the stuff i'm bad at. What I did improve was the GitHub workflows we use for building and publishing the OS. We publish our releases to Blossom + Nostr (NIP-94). I then use those messages in the installer to get the download links.

👀 But which version!?

I quickly ran into the issue that I didn't know which binary to install on the router i hooked up to my computer. I connect the router via lan, then I scan the network and ssh into the router, get some basic info, like the device name. BUT, the format of that device name wouldn't match any of the names we'd use in our release.

For example: the router name would be glinet,mt3000 while our release was called gl-mt3000. The difference may seem subtle but I can't match them. So after some discussion with the others I went on and revamped our OS pipeline to properly follow the OpenWRT naming of boards/devices. The pipeline is now much more extensible, making it easier for us to add support for more hardware!

What's next?

We're aiming for a v0.0.2 release of TollGate OS by friday, incorporating some of the feedback we've gotten from our test users! Hang on tight guys! 🙏 I'm hoping to finish an earlier version of the installer in the upcoming week as well.

Arizona Becomes Second State to Establish Strategic Bitcoin Reserve

Arizona has made history by becoming the second state in the U.S. to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. On Thursday, Governor Katie Hobbs signed House Bill 2749 into law, officially launching the Arizona Bitcoin & Digital Assets Reserve, a pioneering move that channels profits from unclaimed property into Bitcoin and other top-tier digital assets.

JUST IN: Arizona enacts new law to establish a Strategic #Bitcoin Reserve. pic.twitter.com/QiljmKTtDx

— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) May 8, 2025

The bill outlines several key features:

• Redirection of unclaimed-property profits toward Bitcoin and other digital assets

• Use of interest, staking rewards, and airdrops from abandoned property to fund strategic acquisitions

• Strong diversification rules, ensuring Bitcoin supplements — but doesn’t dominate — Arizona’s investment portfolio

• Mandated U.S.-regulated custody for the assets

• Clear implementation steps that allow the state to begin purchasing digital assets and “stacking sats”

• Native Bitcoin redemption, which means lost Bitcoin can be returned in BTC rather than U.S. dollars

The law positions Arizona alongside New Hampshire in transforming idle state assets into potentially appreciating stores of value. By putting otherwise unused funds to work, the state is taking a strategic, forward-looking approach to safeguard its treasury without raising taxes or using the general fund.

“Arizona just showed the country how to turn forgotten assets into a fortress against inflation,” said Dennis Porter, CEO and Co-Founder of the Satoshi Action Fund, a key advocate for the bill. “With HB 2749, lawmakers converted dormant dollars into digital gold — without touching the taxpayer’s pocket. It’s a win for fiscal responsibility and for every Arizonan who believes in sound money.”

Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase also played a role by offering expert testimony that helped propel the bill through legislative hurdles, according to Satoshi Action Fund. Their involvement gave lawmakers a clearer understanding of the financial and technological implications of Bitcoin-based reserves.

— Dennis Porter (@Dennis_Porter_) May 8, 2025

Representative Jeff Weninger (R-Chandler), the bill’s sponsor, was credited with tirelessly shepherding the legislation from its early draft stages through multiple committee hearings, stakeholder meetings, and floor votes, ultimately securing bipartisan support and ensuring its successful passage into law.

“Digital assets aren’t the future—they’re the present,” said Weninger. “This law ensures Arizona doesn’t leave value sitting on the table and puts us in a position to lead the country in how we secure, manage, and ultimately benefit from abandoned digital currency. We’ve built a structure that protects property rights, respects ownership, and gives the state tools to account for a new category of value in the economy. It’s exactly the kind of policy we should be leading on—modern, precise, and built with an understanding of where technology and finance are heading.”

The Satoshi Action Fund, which helped draft and advocate for HB 2749, has become a leading voice in Bitcoin policy. To date, the organization has contributed to the passage of eight pro-Bitcoin laws and inspired more than 20 additional legislative efforts across the country.

"Was ist da drin?", fragte wohl jedes unverdorbene Kind, bevor eine Flüssigkeit in den Muskel seines Arms gespritzt würde. Aber wir sind alle keine unverdorbenen Kinder mehr. Wissen, das haben die anderen, die Gebildeteren, die Wissenschaftler, die Ärzte. Nachfragen würde Autoritäten untergraben und Unglauben demonstrieren. Und drum fällt kaum jemandem auf, dass wir bis heute keine sauberen Inhaltsangaben über die sogenannten Corona-Spritzen erhalten haben, geschweige denn wissen, was der Inhalt in unseren Körpern genau anrichten kann.

Auf die Suche nach Aufklärung hat sich von Beginn dieser sogenannten Pandemie der Verein Mediziner und Wissenschaftler für Gesundheit, Frieden und Demokratie gemacht. Jetzt gibt es ein erstes Labor, das die bekannten, relevanten Impfstoffbestandteile nachweisen will. Darüber unterhält sich unsere Redakteurin Eva Schmidt mit dem Molekularbiologen Prof. Klaus Steger von der Universität Gießen und engagiert bei inmodia, dem Institut für molekularbiologische Diagnostik. Zunächst wollte sie wissen, welche Bestandteile eigentlich bekannt sind, die in Millionen von Menschen gespritzt wurden.

I remember the first gathering of Nostr devs two years ago in Costa Rica. We were all psyched because Nostr appeared to solve the problem of self-sovereign online identity and decentralized publishing. The protocol seemed well-suited for textual content, but it wasn't really designed to handle binary files, like images or video.

The Problem

When I publish a note that contains an image link, the note itself is resilient thanks to Nostr, but if the hosting service disappears or takes my image down, my note will be broken forever. We need a way to publish binary data without relying on a single hosting provider.

We were discussing how there really was no reliable solution to this problem even outside of Nostr. Peer-to-peer attempts like IPFS simply didn't work; they were hopelessly slow and unreliable in practice. Torrents worked for popular files like movies, but couldn't be relied on for general file hosting.

Awesome Blossom

A year later, I attended the Sovereign Engineering demo day in Madeira, organized by Pablo and Gigi. Many projects were presented over a three hour demo session that day, but one really stood out for me.

Introduced by hzrd149 and Stu Bowman, Blossom blew my mind because it showed how we can solve complex problems easily by simply relying on the fact that Nostr exists. Having an open user directory, with the corresponding social graph and web of trust is an incredible building block.

Since we can easily look up any user on Nostr and read their profile metadata, we can just get them to simply tell us where their files are stored. This, combined with hash-based addressing (borrowed from IPFS), is all we need to solve our problem.

How Blossom Works

The Blossom protocol (Blobs Stored Simply on Mediaservers) is formally defined in a series of BUDs (Blossom Upgrade Documents). Yes, Blossom is the most well-branded protocol in the history of protocols. Feel free to refer to the spec for details, but I will provide a high level explanation here.

The main idea behind Blossom can be summarized in three points:

1. Users specify which media server(s) they use via their public Blossom settings published on Nostr;
2. All files are uniquely addressable via hashes;
3. If an app fails to load a file from the original URL, it simply goes to get it from the server(s) specified in the user's Blossom settings.

Just like Nostr itself, the Blossom protocol is dead-simple and it works!

Let's use this image as an example:

If you look at the URL for this image, you will notice that it looks like this:

blossom.primal.net/c1aa63f983a44185d039092912bfb7f33adcf63ed3cae371ebe6905da5f688d0.jpg

All Blossom URLs follow this format:

[server]/[file-hash].[extension]

The file hash is important because it uniquely identifies the file in question. Apps can use it to verify that the file they received is exactly the file they requested. It also gives us the ability to reliably get the same file from a different server.

Nostr users declare which media server(s) they use by publishing their Blossom settings. If I store my files on Server A, and they get removed, I can simply upload them to Server B, update my public Blossom settings, and all Blossom-capable apps will be able to find them at the new location. All my existing notes will continue to display media content without any issues.

Blossom Mirroring

Let's face it, re-uploading files to another server after they got removed from the original server is not the best user experience. Most people wouldn't have the backups of all the files, and/or the desire to do this work.

This is where Blossom's mirroring feature comes handy. In addition to the primary media server, a Blossom user can set one one or more mirror servers. Under this setup, every time a file is uploaded to the primary server the Nostr app issues a mirror request to the primary server, directing it to copy the file to all the specified mirrors. This way there is always a copy of all content on multiple servers and in case the primary becomes unavailable, Blossom-capable apps will automatically start loading from the mirror.

Mirrors are really easy to setup (you can do it in two clicks in Primal) and this arrangement ensures robust media handling without any central points of failure. Note that you can use professional media hosting services side by side with self-hosted backup servers that anyone can run at home.

Using Blossom Within Primal

Blossom is natively integrated into the entire Primal stack and enabled by default. If you are using Primal 2.2 or later, you don't need to do anything to enable Blossom, all your media uploads are blossoming already.

To enhance user privacy, all Primal apps use the "/media" endpoint per BUD-05, which strips all metadata from uploaded files before they are saved and optionally mirrored to other Blossom servers, per user settings. You can use any Blossom server as your primary media server in Primal, as well as setup any number of mirrors:

## Conclusion

For such a simple protocol, Blossom gives us three major benefits:

1. Verifiable authenticity. All Nostr notes are always signed by the note author. With Blossom, the signed note includes a unique hash for each referenced media file, making it impossible to falsify.
2. File hosting redundancy. Having multiple live copies of referenced media files (via Blossom mirroring) greatly increases the resiliency of media content published on Nostr.
3. Censorship resistance. Blossom enables us to seamlessly switch media hosting providers in case of censorship.

Thanks for reading; and enjoy! 🌸

Sculpting Scarcity: Artist Maxfield Mellenbruch Brings Rare Steak Worth Millions To Bitcoin 2025 

Maxfield Mellenbruch — an American sculptor, designer, and the creator of the iconic Kialara series — returns to the bitcoin stage with Rare, a platinum and gemstone-encrusted sculpture appraised at over $2 million. Mellenbruch first gained recognition in 2014 for crafting cold-storage Bitcoin wallets that blurred the line between high design and cryptographic function, earning a cult following among early adopters and collectors alike. His work explores themes of security, value, and permanence in the digital age.

Now, with Rare, he unveils his most ambitious piece to date. On view exclusively in the Deep Vault VIP exhibition during Bitcoin Conference 2025 in Las Vegas, Rare stands as the centerpiece of this year’s art auction and is expected to become the highest-selling artwork priced in bitcoin in the conference’s history.

Mellenbruch will also appear as a featured speaker on the Genesis Stage in a panel titled “From Cave Art to Code: Redefining Value in a World of Absolute Scarcity” alongside Vijay Boyapati and Jesse Myers, moderated by Erin Redwing of Inscribing Vegas. The conversation takes place on May 29, 2025, from 3:10–3:40 PM, just hours before the auction for Rare concludes on Scarce.City.

In advance of the artwork’s unveiling and auction at Bitcoin 2025, I spoke with Max about the ideas behind Rare and the evolving role of art in a Bitcoin-denominated world.

Rare is a jeweled sculpture of extraordinary commitment — over 12,000 gemstones, a 2.56-pound platinum cast, and a design that blends anatomical familiarity, extreme material excess, and almost satirical details like its leather case mimicking butcher paper.  What compelled you to make this piece, and how long did it take to conceive, source, and execute such a technically and financially ambitious work?

The whole thing took about a year—casting the platinum, setting over 12,000 stones by hand, pulling together the right people. From the start, Rare was a stretch: technically, financially, creatively. 

The idea had been building for a while—driven by a growing interest in what’s real, what endures, and what nourishes. I started cutting out processed food and paying closer attention to what I was putting in my body. That naturally led me to steak—simple, unprocessed, nutrient-dense. For a couple years, it was at the center of my diet. And the more I leaned into it, the more I noticed how controversial it had become. The narrative around red meat reminded me of how Bitcoin was treated in its early days—dismissed, attacked, misunderstood. But to me, both represented something honest and resilient. Rare came out of that overlap. Not as a dietary message or anything like that, but as a reaction to the way value gets distorted—and the instinct to come back to something elemental.

I already knew I had to make it. But seeing people’s reactions—from my jeweler’s excitement to someone at the casting house laughing in disbelief—helped confirm it. Rare isn’t just about excess. It’s about curiosity—about taking one idea as far as it can go and seeing if it still holds up.

Writer Jesse Myers suggests that humans are biologically wired to seek out scarce assets — a primal instinct that Bitcoin taps into. How did this idea inform your vision for Rare?

We’ve always chased what’s hard to get. That instinct hasn’t changed—just the objects have. Bitcoin taps into it. So does gold. So do gems. With Rare, I wanted to hit that same nerve—only through something physical. Platinum, diamonds, rubies—materials that carry weight, both literally and symbolically. They’re beautiful, elemental, forged over time. We respond to them without needing to be told why.

The title Rare does more than describe it. It’s a word people see all the time, but once they’ve seen this piece, it sticks differently. It rewires the word. Hijacks it a little. And the next time they see a steak—or hear the word rare—this might be the first thing that comes to mind. That’s part of the fun.

And yeah, part of this was about pushing the ceiling higher. If Rare works, it lifts everything that came before it. I think about that—how to keep things moving forward, not just for me, but for the collectors who’ve believed in my work from the start. It’s not about hype—it’s about making something that holds.

Your sculpture joins a lineage of high-stakes artworks that provoke intense responses — Fabergé eggs as imperial excess, Damien Hirst’s diamond skull as a meditation on wealth and mortality, Manzoni’s Artist’s Shit as market provocation. In the era of Bitcoin as a decentralized store of value, how does Rare challenge our inherited instincts around luxury, permanence, and what it means for something to be truly “valuable”?

I wanted to create something that felt impossible at first glance—a diamond-and-ruby steak. It’s absurd, sure. But that’s the point. We’re surrounded by noise, and attention has become its own kind of currency. I wanted to cut through it—not just to shock, but to say something about what we value. About what lasts. Like the works you mentioned, Rare plays with extravagance not just to impress—but to provoke.

I’ve spent the last decade creating physical Bitcoin wallets—art that held both currency and trust. I kept my head down, focused on craft, and over time, that turned into a real collector base. Rare isn’t a departure—it’s the next step. Just louder. Still speaking the same language: weight, precision, permanence.

I feel like I’ve earned the right to go there.

With Rare appraised at over $2 million and debuting at a Bitcoin event, the piece sits at the edge of cultural whiplash — a confrontation with both material opulence and Bitcoin’s trajectory. Do you see it as a kind of “future shock” — especially as figures like Michael Saylor suggest Bitcoin could reach $13 million per bitcoin? Even among Bitcoiners, how prepared do you think people are to emotionally process that scale of value?

I’m not even sure what “future shock” means anymore. Maybe it’s not about being surprised by the future—but realizing you’re already behind. A lot of people missed Bitcoin early on, and now they’re watching it run. So yeah, $13 million a coin sounds wild—but maybe what’s wilder is having none.

Things are moving fast—tech, money, culture—and it’s hard to keep up. People are overwhelmed. That’s where something like Rare fits in. It’s physical. You can see it, feel it. In a world where most value is invisible, that matters. Bitcoin’s different—it’s digital, but it still forces you to rethink what’s real. Same with long-term plays like ETFs. They’re all just different ways of asking: where do I put my value?

Most people probably aren’t ready. But no one really is. We’re all trying to figure it out while the ground keeps shifting.

Your earlier works, like the Kialara Labyrinth edition in 2015, helped give Bitcoin one of its first tangible forms — blending design, function, and cryptographic symbolism into a physical object. With Rare, you’ve moved from secure vessel to cultural artifact. How does this evolution mirror Bitcoin’s own transformation — from a niche cypherpunk experiment to a globally recognized store of value and institutional or corporate treasury asset?

In the early days, Bitcoin felt invisible. I wanted to give it a physical form—something fun and engaging people could actually hold. The Kialara series did that. It helped Bitcoin feel real when it was still mostly abstract.

But now Bitcoin is mainstream—ETFs, corporate treasuries, global headlines. It doesn’t need the same kind of validation. It doesn’t need me in the same way. So my role has shifted. With Rare, I’m contributing to the culture around it.

At a time when food, value, and meaning are all in flux… I wanted to create something that holds that tension. I’m not trying to make a nutritional statement, but I get the same feeling from beef and the carnivore movement now that I got from Bitcoin a decade ago—disruptive, controversial, misunderstood. Rare felt like the right place to explore that.

As Bitcoin blurs lines between money, ideology, and art, what do you see as the artist’s role in making sense of this shift — especially when the work itself, like Rare, sits at the intersection of extreme material value and symbolic power?

I’m not sure if the artist’s role is to make sense of the shift—or if the shift happens because the artist shows up. Sometimes we reflect the world. Sometimes we bend it. And today, what counts as an artist is wide open. Satoshi didn’t make traditional art, but he reshaped how we see trust, time, and value. That feels like art to me.

With Rare, I took some of the Earth’s most enduring materials and shaped them into something instinctual—something tied to appetite, ritual, and survival. No electronics. No moving parts. Raw elements from deep underground, shaped into a form we all recognize but rarely stop to consider. A cut of meat, frozen in time. It doesn’t try to e

Safe Bits & Self Custody Tips

The journey of onboarding a user and create a bitcoin multiSig setup begins far before opening a desktop like Bitcoin Safe (BS) or any other similar application. Bitcoin Safe seems designed for families and people that want to start exploring and learning about multiSig setup. The need for such application and use of it could go much further, defining best practices for private organizations that aim to custody bitcoin in a private and anonymous way, following and enjoy the values and standards bitcoin has been built for.

Intro

Organizations and small private groups like families, family offices and solopreneurs operating on a bitcoin standard will have the need to keep track of transactions and categorize them to keep the books in order. A part of our efforts will be spent ensuring accessibility standards are in place for everyone to use Bitcoin Safe with comfort and safety.

We aim with this project to bring together the three Designathon ideas below: - Bitcoin Safe: improve its overall design and usability. - No User Left Behind: improve Bitcoin Safe accessibility. - Self-custody guidelines for organizations: How Bitcoin Safe can be used by private organization following best self-custody practices.

We are already halfway of the first week, and here below the progress made so far.

Designing an icon Set for Bitcoin Safe

One of the noticeable things when using BS is the inconsistency of the icons, not just in colors and shapes, but also the way are used. The desktop app try to have a clean design that incorporate with all OS (Win, macOS, Linux) and for this reason it's hard to define when a system default icon need to be used or if a custom one can be applied instead. The use of QT Ui framework for python apps help to respond to these questions. It also incorporates and brig up dome default settings that aren't easily overwritten.

Here below you can see the current version of BS:

Defining a more strict color palette for Bitcoin Safe was the first thing!

How much the icons affect accessibility? How they can help users to reach the right functionality? I took the challenge and, with PenPot.app, redesigned the icons based on the grid defined in the https://bitcoinicons.com/ and proposing the implementation of it to have a cleaner and more consistent look'n feel, at least for the icons now.

What's next

I personally look forward to seeing these icons implemented soon in Bitcoin Safe interface. In the meantime, we'll focus on delivering an accessibility audit and evaluate options to see how BS could be used by private organizations aiming to become financially sovereign with self-custody or more complex bitcoin multiSig setups.

One of the greatest innovations BS is bringing to us is the ability to sync the multiSig wallets, including PBST, Categories and labels, through the nostr decentralized protocol, making current key custodial services somehow obsolete. Second-coolest feature that this nostr implementation brings is the ability to have a build-in private chat that connect and enable the various signers of a multiSig to communicate and sign transactions remotely. Where have you seen something like this before?

Categories UX and redesign is also considered in this project. We'll try to understand how to better serve this functionality to you, the user, really soon.

Stay tuned!

เมื่อวานนี้เรารู้เรื่อง Meat Free Monday ของท่านเซอร์พอลกันแล้ว วันนี้เรามาต่อเนื่องกับแสงสีกันอีกนิดครับ

Anne Hathaway กับ The EVERY Company จากเจ้าหญิง The Princess Diaries สู่ราชินีโปรตีนไร้ไก่ ในยุคที่ความเปลี่ยนแปลงไม่เคาะประตู แต่มาถีบประตูบ้านเข้าใส่เลย บรรดาเซเล็บฮอลลีวูดก็ไม่ได้อยู่เฉยๆ แค่ใส่กระโปรงขึ้นพรมแดงหรือไปเล่นหนังรางวัลเท่านั้น แต่บางคน เช่น Anne Hathaway ก้าวเข้ามาอยู่เบื้องหลังระบบอาหารโลกในรูปแบบที่เงียบ…แต่เขย่าพื้นโลกได้เหมือนกัน

ใช่จ้ะ... Anne Hathaway คนเดียวกับที่เฮียเคยเห็นใน The Devil Wears Prada หรือเจ้าหญิง Mia ใน Princess Diaries ได้ลงทุนแบบเอาจริงกับบริษัทเทคโนโลยีอาหารสุดล้ำที่ชื่อว่า The EVERY Company ซึ่งพัฒนาโปรตีนจากไข่ที่ไม่ใช้ไก่ ไม่ต้องมีฟาร์ม ไม่ต้องฟัก และไม่ต้องฟูมฟักศีลธรรมให้สั่นไหวด้วยการฆ่าสัตว์เลยแม้แต่นิดเดียว

ทบทวนกันจากสัปดาห์ที่แล้วครับ The EVERY Company เดิมชื่อ Clara Foods ก่อตั้งในกลางยุค 2010s ณ ใจกลางซิลิคอนวัลเลย์ แหล่งรวมจินตนาการและเงิน VC ที่ไม่รู้จะเอาไปลงกับอะไรดี บริษัทนี้ไม่ได้เลี้ยงไก่ ไม่ได้ใช้ถาดไข่ แต่ใช้ “Precision Fermentation” ซึ่งก็คือการเอา DNA ที่เป็นรหัสของไข่ขาว (Ovalbumin) ไปใส่ในจุลินทรีย์สายพันธุ์เฉพาะ แล้วเลี้ยงด้วยน้ำตาลในถังหมัก สุดท้ายมันก็ผลิตโปรตีนออกมาที่มีโครงสร้าง “เหมือนของจริงเป๊ะ”

มันคือการทำไข่จาก “ยีสต์” ไม่ใช่จาก “แม่ไก่”

การลงทุนของ Anne ครั้งนี้ ถือเป็น B2B investment ครั้งแรกในชีวิต และดูจะไม่ใช่แค่ลงทุนแบบเซ็นเช็คเฉยๆ แล้วไปจิบไวน์ที่คานส์นะ เพราะเธอให้สัมภาษณ์ว่า

“It’s clear that our food system needs a change. EVERY is one part of a beautiful future.” (มันชัดเจนว่าระบบอาหารเราต้องเปลี่ยนแปลง EVERY คือส่วนหนึ่งของอนาคตที่งดงามนั้น)

แม้ไม่มีการเปิดเผยจำนวนเงินหรือสัดส่วนหุ้นอย่างเป็นทางการ แต่สื่ออุตสาหกรรมอาหารอย่าง Food Navigator USA ก็ชี้ว่า เธอเป็นอีกแรงที่ช่วยดันชื่อเสียงของบริษัทให้ “กลายเป็นไวรัล” ในหมู่นักลงทุน และอาจเปิดประตูสู่การยอมรับของตลาดผู้บริโภคได้ในวงกว้าง

The EVERY Company ไม่ได้หวังจะแค่ขาย “ไข่” ในซูเปอร์มาร์เก็ตแบบธรรมดาๆ แต่เริ่ม “แทรกซึม” จากเบื้องหลังในอุตสาหกรรมอาหารอย่างแยบยล จะเปลี่ยนระบบอาหารโดยใช้แนวทาง “B2B only” คือผลิตขายให้เชฟ ร้านอาหาร และโรงงานเท่านั้น (ยังไม่วางจำหน่ายปลีกทั่วไป เพราะบางตัวอย่าง EVERY Egg ยังรอรับรอง GRAS จาก FDA)

เคยมีการร่วมงานกับเชฟมิชลิน Dominique Crenn จากร้าน Atelier Crenn ในนครซานฟรานซิสโก ซึ่งเธอยืนยันว่า EVERY Egg เป็นตัวเปลี่ยนเกม ที่ทำให้เธอสามารถสร้างเมนูใหม่ที่ “ไร้สัตว์” ได้โดยไม่เสียความสร้างสรรค์หรือรสชาติ

แม้ Anne จะไม่มีตำแหน่งในบอร์ดบริหาร แต่การที่เธอลงทุนใน The EVERY Company ทำให้หลายองค์กรจับตามอง และส่งผลต่อภาพลักษณ์ของ “โปรตีนสังเคราะห์จากจุลินทรีย์” ให้ดูหรู ดูสะอาด และเหมาะกับสายสุขภาพ-มังสวิรัติ ทั้งที่จริงๆ แล้ว มันคือ “ผลิตภัณฑ์โรงงานที่ผ่านกระบวนการขั้นสูงมาก”

The EVERY Company ยังได้รับเงินลงทุนจากกลุ่มใหญ่อย่าง Temasek (กองทุนจากสิงคโปร์) และ Prosperity7 Ventures ที่เป็นแขนของ Saudi Aramco ซึ่งก็เป็นอีกประเด็นน่าคิด…ว่าพลังทุนที่อยู่เบื้องหลัง “ไข่ไม่ใช้ไก่” นี้ มาจากหลายทิศหลายทาง ทั้ง Silicon Valley, ตะวันออกกลาง และ Hollywood

การที่ Anne Hathaway ลงทุนใน EVERY ไม่ใช่เรื่องผิด แต่เป็นหมุดหมายที่น่าสนใจในยุคที่ “อาหาร” ไม่ใช่แค่เรื่องอิ่มท้อง แต่กลายเป็นการเมือง วิทยาศาสตร์ เศรษฐกิจ และการสร้างภาพลักษณ์ของคนดังในคราวเดียวกัน

ไข่ที่ไม่มีไก่ โปรตีนที่ไม่มีฟาร์ม…ดูเหมือนจะสวยงาม แต่ถ้าเรามองให้ลึก บางครั้งอาหารก็อาจไม่ใช่เรื่อง “ของกิน” อย่างเดียวอีกต่อไป

เรื่องบางเรื่อง คนในบางสังคม คนในบางกลุ่มเท่านั้น ที่จะมีโอกาสเลือกก่อน กี่ครั้งต่อกี่ครั้ง ก็แบบนี้ครับ #pirateketo #กูต้องรู้มั๊ย #ม้วนหางสิลูก #siamstr

Bitcoin has emerged as a new economic tool in developing economies. These nations often face challenges such as high inflation, fragile banking systems, and limited access to financial services. With its unique characteristics—decentralization, censorship resistance, and limited supply—Bitcoin offers an alternative solution to protect wealth, facilitate international transactions, and promote financial inclusion.

Challenges Faced by Emerging Economies

• Inflation and Currency Devaluation

01 - Many developing countries struggle with unstable monetary policies, leading to the devaluation of their national currencies. 02 - Inflation erodes purchasing power, making it difficult for people to preserve wealth or plan long-term finances.

• Limited Access to the Banking System

01 - In many areas—especially rural regions - a significant portion of the population lacks access to banks or basic financial services. 02 - This restricts the ability to store money safely, obtain credit, and carry out secure transactions.

• Expensive Remittances and International Transactions

01 - Many citizens of developing economies rely on remittances from family members working abroad. 02 - Fees charged by financial intermediaries can be high, reducing the value received by families.

How Bitcoin Benefits Emerging Economies

• Protection Against Inflation

With its supply capped at 21 million units, Bitcoin acts as a deflationary asset, helping individuals shield their wealth from local currency devaluation. In countries like Venezuela and Argentina, where inflation is rampant, Bitcoin is used as a store of value.

• Financial Inclusion

Bitcoin removes the need for financial intermediaries, enabling anyone with internet access to participate in the global economy. Unbanked individuals can use digital wallets to store and transfer value, promoting widespread financial inclusion.

• Simplified International Transactions

Bitcoin enables fast, low-cost value transfers across borders, without relying on banks or remittance companies. This helps workers send money home, ensuring more of their earnings reach their families.

• Censorship Resistance and Government Control

In developing economies with authoritarian regimes or political instability, Bitcoin allows citizens to maintain control over their money without fear of confiscation or unfair restrictions. Its decentralized network prevents any single authority from controlling or manipulating the system.

Real Use Cases in Emerging Economies

• El Salvador

In 2021, El Salvador became the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. The goal was to reduce remittance costs and increase financial inclusion. The initiative also attracted Bitcoin-related investment and tourism, though it has faced criticism and implementation challenges.

• Nigeria

Bitcoin use in Nigeria surged due to inflation and government restrictions on financial transactions. Young entrepreneurs and freelancers use Bitcoin to receive international payments and bypass local banking limitations.

• Venezuela

Amid economic crisis and hyperinflation, Bitcoin became a key tool for protecting wealth and conducting transactions. Many Venezuelan families rely on Bitcoin to purchase essential goods and send or receive money from abroad.

Challenges of Using Bitcoin in Emerging Markets

• Volatility

Bitcoin's high price volatility can make it risky for people relying on it as a store of value. This instability may discourage its use for daily transactions.

• Limited Infrastructure

Bitcoin usage requires internet access and digital devices, which may be lacking in areas with underdeveloped infrastructure.

• Education and Adaptation

Adopting Bitcoin requires a certain level of technical knowledge, and the lack of financial literacy can hinder large-scale adoption. Many people still prefer traditional currencies due to unfamiliarity or distrust of Bitcoin.

The Future of Bitcoin in Emerging Economies

• Infrastructure Development

Projects promoting internet access and digital tools can significantly boost Bitcoin adoption in these regions.

• Stability and Trust

As the market matures, Bitcoin's volatility may decrease, making it more practical as a medium of exchange and store of value.

• Education and Empowerment

Financial education initiatives can help people understand and harness the benefits of Bitcoin, easing its integration into daily life.

In summary, Bitcoin has a transformative role in emerging economies, offering a strong alternative to traditional financial systems. Its ability to hedge against inflation, promote financial inclusion, and facilitate international transactions makes it a crucial tool for millions of people.

While challenges like volatility and infrastructure gaps remain, Bitcoin’s potential to empower individuals in developing nations is clear. As a decentralized digital asset, it represents not only a technological innovation but also a hope for a fairer and more accessible economic future.

Thank you very much for reading this far. I hope everything is well with you, and sending a big hug from your favorite Bitcoiner maximalist from Madeira. Long live freedom!

Regulations play a fundamental role in the evolution of the global financial market, laying the foundation for stability, security, and trust in economic transactions. However, in an increasingly globalized and digital world, regulatory challenges have become more complex—especially with the emergence of disruptive financial innovations such as Bitcoin and decentralized finance (DeFi). The interaction between regulation and the financial market has deep consequences, both positive and negative, shaping the future of the global economy.

The Importance of Regulations in the Financial Market:

01 - Economic Stability: Financial laws and regulations help prevent risky practices such as irresponsible lending and excessive speculation. 02 - Consumer Protection: Regulations ensure that consumers and investors have access to clear and accurate information, preventing fraud and abuse. 03 - Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism: Policies such as Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) ensure that illicit funds do not enter the financial system.

Regulatory Challenges in a Globalized Market:

01 - Market Interconnectivity: The global financial market is highly interconnected, and crises in one country can quickly spread to others. This demands more efficient international coordination among regulators. 02 - Technological Innovation: The rise of disruptive technologies like blockchain or timechain has challenged traditional regulatory models. Many governments are still trying to strike a balance between encouraging innovation and reducing risk. 03 - Compliance Costs: Financial companies face rising costs to meet increasingly strict regulations, which can impact profitability and create barriers for new entrants.

The Impact of Regulation on the Global Financial Market:

• Positive Impacts

01 - Investor Confidence: Clear rules and effective enforcement increase investor trust, promoting financial market growth. 02 - Economic Resilience: Well-designed regulations make the financial system more resistant to economic shocks. 03 - Attraction of Foreign Capital: Jurisdictions with sound regulatory governance attract investments from countries and companies seeking stability.

• Negative Impacts

01 - Excessive Bureaucracy: Overly complex regulations can hinder innovation and economic growth, especially for small businesses. 02 - Capital Flight: Companies may relocate operations to countries with looser laws, harming the economies of more regulated regions. 03 - Ineffectiveness in Global Contexts: National rules don’t always work well in global markets. Lack of international cooperation can create loopholes for bad actors.

The Role of International Institutions:

01 - Global Standards: Organizations work to create international standards, such as the Basel Accords for minimum capital requirements for banks. 02 - Crisis Resolution: International institutions also act as mediators and providers of financial assistance during global crises, as seen during the 2020–2021 pandemic.

Regulation and Innovation: A Necessary Balance

01 - Encouraging Innovation: Regulators should allow emerging technologies to grow, enabling solutions like blockchain or timechain to develop freely. 02 - Risks of No Regulation: Without proper rules, innovative markets may attract fraudulent behavior, undermining public trust.

In summary, regulations are essential to maintaining the integrity and stability of the global financial market. They protect participants, prevent crises, and foster a trustworthy environment. However, globalization and rapid technological change challenge regulators to constantly adapt.

The balance between security and innovation is vital for the future of finance. Effective rules must be flexible enough to keep up with change and strong enough to protect participants. In this way, the global financial market can continue to evolve, promoting sustainable and fair economic prosperity.

Thank you very much for reading this far. I hope everything is well with you, and sending a big hug from your favorite Bitcoiner maximalist from Madeira. Long live freedom!

Marty's Bent

It's been a hell of a week in Austin, Texas. The Texas Energy & Mining Summit was held at Bitcoin Park Austin on Tuesday and yesterday. Around 200 people from across the energy sector and the mining sector convened to discuss the current state of bitcoin mining, how it integrates with energy systems, and where things are going in the near to medium term. Representatives from ERCOT, Halliburton, and some of the largest mining companies in the world were in attendence. Across town, Bitcoin++ is holding their conference on mempools, which is fitting considering there is currently an ongoing debate about mempool policy and whether or not Bitcoin Core should eliminate the data limit on OP_RETURN.

I've had the pleasure of participating in both events. At the Texas Energy & Mining Summit I opened up the two-day event with the opening panel on why Texas is perfectly suited not only for bitcoin mining but for the bitcoin industry in general. Texas is a state that highly values private property rights, low taxes, and free market competition. It's become clear to me over the four years that I've lived in Texas that it is an incredible place to start a bitcoin business. The energy down here (pun intended) is palpable.

I also hosted the ending panel with Nick Gates from Priority Power, Will Cole from Zaprite and Jay Beddict from Foundry about what we have to look forward to through the rest of the year. I think the consensus was pretty clear on the panel, there's never been a more bullish setup for bitcoin historically. The political support we're getting here in the United States, the institutional adoption that we're seeing, and the fervor around protocol level development are all pointing in the right direction. Even though the discussions around protocol development can be contentious at times, it's a signal that people really care about this open source monetary protocol that we're all building on. We all agreed that Bitcoin has never been more de-risked than it is today. That is not to say that there aren't any risk.

We also discussed the problem with mining pool centralization and the FPPS payout scheme and why people need to be paying attention to it. But I think overall, things are looking pretty good right now.

Yesterday I also had the pleasure of running the live desk at Bitcoin++ speaking with many of the developers building out the protocol layer and layers above bitcoin. It's always extremely humbling to sit down and speak with the developers because they are so damn smart. Brilliant people who really care deeply about bitcoin. Even though many of them have very different views about the state of bitcoin and how to build it out moving forward. I view my role on the live desk is simply to try to get everybody's perspective. Not only on the OP_RETURN discussion, but on the future of bitcoin and how the protocol progresses from a technical perspective.

I had many conversations. The first with Average Gary and VNPRC, who are working on hashpools, which are attempting to solve the mining pool centralization and privacy problems that exists by using ecash. Hashpool gives miners the ability to exchange hash shares for ehash tokens. that are immediately liquid and exchangeable for bitcoin over the lightning network. Solving the consistent payout and liquidity problem that miners are always trying to solve. Currently FPPS payout schemes are the way they solve these problems. I'm incredibly optimistic about the hashpools project.

I also had the pleasure of speaking with SuperTestNet and Dusty Daemon, who are both focused on making bitcoin more inherently private at the protocol layer and on the lightning network. I think Dusty's work on splicing is very underappreciated right now and is something that you should all look into. Dusty also explained an idea he has that would make CoinJoin coordination much easier by creating a standardized coordination protocol. I'm going to butcher the explanation here, But I think the general idea is to create a way for people to combine inputs by monitoring the lightning network and looking for individual actors who are looking to rebalance channels and opportunistically set up a collaborative transaction with them. This is something I think everyone should look into and champion because I think it would be incredibly beneficial to on-chain privacy. As Bitcoin scales and gets adopted by millions and billions of people over the next few decades.

I also had the pleasure of speaking with Andrew Poelstra and Boerst about cryptography and block templates. For those of you who are unaware, Andrew Poelstra the Head of Research at Blockstream and on the cutting edge of the cryptography that bitcoin uses and may implement in the future. We had a wide ranging discussion about OP_RETURN, FROST, Musig2, Miniscript, quantum. resistant cryptographic libraries, and how Bitcoin Core actually works as a development project.

I also spoke with Liam Egan from Alpen Labs. He's working on ZK rollups on Bitcoin. Admittedly, this is an area I haven't explored too deeply, so it was awesome to sit down with Liam and get his perspective. Alpen Labs is leveraging BitVM to enable their rollups.

I highly recommend if and when you get the time to check out the YouTube stream of the Live Desk. A lot of very deep, technical conversations, but if you're really interested to learn how bitcoin actually works and some of the ideas that are out there to make it better, this is an incredible piece of content to watch. I'm about to head over for day two of Bitcoin++ to run the Live Desk again. So if you get this email before we go live make sure you subscribe to the YouTube channel and tune in for the day.

One thing I will say. Last night, there was a debate about OP_RETURN and I think it's important to note that despite how vitriolic people may get on Twitter, it's always interesting to see people with diametrically opposed views get together and have civil debates. It's obvious that everyone involved cares deeply about bitcoin. Having these tough conversations in person is very important. Particularly, civil conversations. I certainly think yesterday's debate was civil. Though, I will say I think that as bitcoiners, we should hold ourselves to a higher standard of decorum when debates like this are had.

Tyler Campbell from Unchained mentioned that it is insane that there was such a small group of people attending this particular debate about the future of a two trillion dollar protocol. Bitcoin is approaching $100,000 again as I type and no one in big tech, no one in big finance outside of people looking for bitcoin treasury plays is really paying attention to what's happening at the protocol level. This is simply funny to observe and probably a good thing in the long run. But, Meta, Stripe, Apple, Visa, Mastercard and the Teslas of the world are all asleep at the wheel as we build out the future of money.

The $1 Trillion Basis Trade Time Bomb

The massive basis trade currently looming over financial markets represents a systemic risk that dwarfs previous crises. As James Lavish warned during our conversation, approximately $1 trillion in leveraged positions exist within this trade - ten times larger than those held by Long-Term Capital Management before its 1998 collapse. These trades employ staggering leverage ratios between 20x to 100x just to make minuscule basis point differences profitable. The Brookings Institution, which Lavish describes as a "tacit research arm of the Fed," has published a paper explicitly warning about this trade's dangers.

"The Brookings Institution came out with a solution... instead of printing money this time, the Fed will just take the whole trade off of the hedge funds books. Absolutely, utterly maniacal. The thought of the Fed becoming a hedge fund... it's nuts." - James Lavish

What makes this situation particularly alarming is how an unwind could trigger cascading margin calls throughout interconnected financial markets. As Lavish explained, when positions begin unwinding, prices move dramatically, triggering more margin calls that force more selling. This "powder keg behind the scenes" is being closely monitored by sophisticated investors who understand its destructive potential. Unlike a controlled demolition, this unwinding could quickly become chaotic, potentially forcing unprecedented Fed intervention.

I've been thinking about how Predyx and other lightning based prediction markets might finance their operations, without undermining their core function of eliciting information from people.

The standard approach, of offering less-than-fair odds, guarantees long-run profitability (as long as you have enough customers), but it also creates a friction for participants that reduces the information value of their transactions. So, what are some less frictiony options for generating revenue?

Low hanging fruit

• Close markets in real-time: Rather than prespecifying a closing time for some markets, like sports, it's better to close the market at the moment the outcome is realized. This both prevents post hoc transactions and enables late stage transactions. This should be easily automatable (I say as someone with no idea how to do that), with the right resolution criteria.
• Round off shares: Shares and sats are discrete, so just make sure any necessary rounding is always in the house's favor.
• Set initial probabilities well: Use whatever external information is available to open markets as near to the "right" value as possible.
• Arbitrage: whenever markets are related to each other, make sure to resolve any illogical odds automatically

The point of these four is to avoid giving away free sats. None of them reduce productive use of the market. Keeping markets open up until the outcome is realized will probably greatly increase the number of transactions, since that's usually when the most information is coming in.

Third party support

• Ads are the most obvious form of third party revenue
• Sponsorships are the more interesting one: Allow sponsors to boost a market's visibility. This is similar to advertising, but it also capitalizes on the possibility of a market being of particular interest to someone.
• Charge for market creation: users should be able to create new markets (this will also enhance trade quantity and site traffic), but it should be costly to create a market. If prediction markets really provide higher quality information, then it's reasonable to charge for it.
• Arbitrage: Monitor external odds and whenever a gain can be locked in, place the bets (buy the shares) that guarantee a gain.

Bitcoin stuff

• Routing fees: The volume of sats moving into, out of, and being held in these markets will require a fairly large lightning node. Following some helpful tips to optimize fee revenue will generate some sats for logistical stuff that had to be done anyway.
• Treasury strategy: Take out loans against the revenue generated from all of the above and buy bitcoin: NGU -> repay with a fraction of the bitcoin, NGD -> repay with site revenue.

Bitcoin and Lightning Competitive Advantages

These aren't revenue ideas. They're just a couple of advantages lightning and bitcoin provide over fiat that should allow charging lower spreads than a traditional prediction market or sportsbook.

Traditional betting or prediction platforms are earning depreciating fiat, while a bitcoin based platform earns appreciating bitcoin. Traditional spreads must therefor be larger, in order to pull in the same real return. This also means the users' odds are worse on fiat platforms (again in real terms), even if the listed odds are the same, because their winnings will have depreciated by the time they receive them. Technically, this opens an opportunity to charge even higher spreads, but as mentioned in the intro, that would be bad for the information purposes of the market.

Lightning has much lower transactions costs than fiat transactions. So, even with tighter spreads, a lightning platform can net a better (nominal) return per transaction.

@mega_dreamer, I imagine most of those ideas were already on y'all's radar, and obviously you're already doing some, but I wanted to get them out of my head and onto digital paper. Hopefully, some of this will provide some useful food for thought.

I’ve been really deeply studying end times prophecy today. Trying to see how all of the prophecies from the initial proto-Gospel in Genesis 3 through the last chapter in Revelation is hard to arrange in my head. That being said, after reading the Bible daily for about 40 years and reading through it each year for about 30 years, I am really starting to see so many links between passages through out the Bible. It has made my Bible study enthralling. I wish I had time to spend hours and hours every day studying and writing about what I have learned.

I thought it might be handy to share some hints on how I study the Bible. Hopefully this can help some people, although I do tend to think my subscribers tend to be those who love Bible study and are already in the word. People who don’t love the Bible are unlikely to read my long, scripture laden posts. Still, hopefully this will be useful.

Starting the Habit of Bible Reading

The first and foremost thing we all need is to start the habit of daily Bible reading. You can’t worship a God you don’t know about and you can’t obey a God whose commands you don’t know. Every Christian needs to read the whole Bible. This needs to be a priority.

I used to recommend people just start at the beginning, Genesis, and read straight through to Revelation, but I’ve lately changed my mind. So many people will start in Genesis, enjoy Genesis and Exodus, which are basically just stories about creation, judgment in the global flood, and God’s chosen people. They then get to Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy (the details of the law including the intricate ceremonial law) and they lose momentum in the tedium. I do think every Christian eventually needs to read and know these books, but I think it is OK to skip some or all of them the first time through. They will mean more once you have read the whole Bible. If you are only going to read one, I’d probably read Deuteronomy.

I also know that it can be helpful for some people to mix up their reading. I used to have book marks with daily readings, so I read some Old Testament, some Psalms/Proverbs, some New Testament. There was one other category, but I can’t remember what it was. This way, you get a little of different types of passages. My bookmarks burnt up when my house burnt down and when I went searching online for something similar, I found a few similar reading plans, but not the one I used and really liked. Here are a couple that looked good, but I haven’t used myself. here. here. here. These plans look good, but don’t have the convenient bookmarks. here. here. For those who like reading online or on your phone (which isn’t me), I found this one. It looked nice I’ve just started using it despite the fact I prefer a Bible I can hold, turn the pages of, and write in. It has a chronological Old Testament Passage and a New Testament reading that relates in some way to the Old Testament Passage. It also links to some maps that let you see where the places mentioned in the passages are located and questions to get you to think about what you read. The one downside is it only lets you attach notes if you create a group. I do really like the idea that you can setup a group to read through the Bible and share your comments and thoughts, but I haven’t tried the feature.

Another thing I’ve found very helpful is a chronological Bible. It is handy having things in the order they happened and the different passages that cover an event (such as from each gospel or 1/2 Samuel vs 1/2 Chronicles or Leviticus vs Deuteronomy, etc.) right by each other. It is handy to see what actually comes before what and the way different writers describe the same event, since different authors include different details. I think reading a chronological Bible has helped me see more links between passages and get a better understanding of the Bible as a whole. I am getting close to finishing my second reading through. I don’t know if one chronological Bible is significantly better than another, but this is the one I am reading right now.

Another tactic I have used, when I started getting bogged down reading through the Bible again and again was to study one book of the Bible in depth. It worked best reading one of the shorter books. I’d read through the book repeatedly for a month, usually in 1-3 days. I’d follow the links in my study Bible to related passages or study where some of the words were used in other parts of the Bible. I’d get so I really knew the book well.

One thing that has helped me with my Bible study is writing in my Bible. The first time I wrote, it felt almost sacrilegious, but it helps me to organize my thoughts. I’ll write what I get out of it, how it relates to another passage, etc. I’ll underline or circle key words or sentences. These are then useful when I read through again and may see something different, but it reminds me of my growth and learning. I’ve actually thought I really need to get a new wide margin Bible to have more room for my notes. I can write really small and have an ultrafine point pen, so I can write even smaller than the print. The problem is my eyes aren’t so good and I now have trouble reading my tiny print. I can’t read my own writing without my reading glasses.

Bible reading starts getting really exciting when you get to know the Bible well enough that you start seeing the links between different passages and different books. Suddenly it opens up a whole new level of understanding. It is like an exciting scavenger hunt finding how all of the ideas in the Bible relate to each other and clarify each other in one whole.

Historically I’ve hated writing. The thought of writing a journal or something sounded like torture, but I have truly found organizing my thoughts in an essay, really helps my understanding of the Scriptures in ways that reading and thinking about it never did. Whether anyone reads my writings or not, I’ll continue writing because it is a blessing to me. I have grown immensely in my understanding of the Bible by writing out a reasoned argument for what I believe the Bible is saying. I’ve also done in depth study and realized that I was not completely right in my understanding and had to adjust my understanding of Scripture.

but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence (1 Peter 3:15)

As Christians, we are supposed to be ready to make a defense. Reading, studying, and knowing the Bible is the only true way to be ready. I made a necklace with the first letter in each word in this verse to help me memorize it.

Memorizing God’s word is also well worth the effort. I’ll admit, that I would be terrible for following my own advice in this, except I have a special needs son, who is in Awana, and needs help memorizing 1-5 verses a week. The only way either of us can pull it off is I make a song for each 1-3 verse passage that he has to memorize. We then sing them together until we know them. I debated on whether to share my songs. They are not well done. The version uploaded is my first rough attempt at the song and we usually fine tune them over the week, but I don’t get around to rerecording them. I also have at best an OK voice. Still, I decided to share in case these songs can help someone else with their Bible memorization. Hopefully I am not embarrassing myself too much.

Another thing that has helped me is finding Open Bible’s geocoding site. When reading Bible passages, there are frequent references to places that are unfamiliar, either because they are far away or because the ancient names, rather than modern names, are used. This site allows you to see on a map (satellite & modern country formats) where places are located and how they relate to each other. I’ve especially found this useful with end times prophecy because the Bible describes places with their ancient, not modern names.

In addition to my direct Bible study, I also daily listen to sermons, Christian podcasts, read Christian substack posts, and read Christian commentaries. All help my understanding of the Bible. FYI, the sermons, podcasts, blogs, and commentaries are a risk if you don’t know the Bible and aren’t being like the Bereans who searched “… the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.” (Acts 17:11) There are so many false or erroneous teachers, that you have to be very careful listening to people and never put the opinions of men above the word of God. Of course, it is possible to learn a bunch from Godly teachers. Sadly, even the best Bible teachers seem to have at least one area of error. For example, I love listening to R.C. Sproul’s “Renewing Your Mind” podcast, but his teaching on the first 11 chapters of Genesis are a bit “squishy” (not outright wrong, but not holding firm enough to the Bible) and I’d say his end times teaching is flat out wrong. Everything I’ve heard him teach between Genesis 12 and Jude is amazing and very true to the Bible. This is where he spends almost all of his time teaching, so I can highly recommend his podcast. Without a firm foundation in the Bible, it is not possible to recognize false teaching, especially when taught by someone who is very good in most respects.

I hope this is useful to people to help them get into the habit of regular Bible reading and seeing how exciting Bible study can be.

May God give you a hunger for and understanding of His word. May you fill your heart and mind with the word of God so it overflows and is seen by all around you.

Trust Jesus.

"This is Mineva Bytes. The crypto eidolon! A vtuber who has risen to become a shining star in the crypto world. She's the most followed person on Trenches, eclipsing every single crypto founder/influencer."

Dozens of images flash across the screen, each depicting a golden idol. Her golden amber hair and eyes seem to perfectly capture the color of cryptocurrency. She's wearing her standard cream Kaybug outfit, which gives off a weird futuristic vibe every time she's next to something modern. A close-up of her boob window with 2 metal coins, one for Bitcoin and the other for Cerium tucked into her cleavage makes up her header on Trenches.

"Her fan base, the Gabros, are made up of elite cretins who are eager to get anything she's a part of. Hell, she even got them to pay for cable to support her show. Cable! In 2025! Even a collab announcement between her and Xaphan got millions of views in just a few hours. Her endorsement is a godsend for any crypto project."

Even more images flash through her show moonshot. One is Mineva promoting the Sloth NFT with a picture of a dopey looking sloth next to her. Another is the announcement of the Cache Card during the On-Chain holiday, which boosted pre-order numbers. A picture of her posing like a pin-up model on an American Unlimited debit card, and finally her name and Xaphan's in the middle of a phone silhouette.

"And that's where you come in."

The images are replaced by the words Atoms.AI, made up of clouds with the sun dotting the i. Our company logo, and standing in front of it is my boss. The gray-haired woman in techwear is pointing her claw-like nails at me. She has the kind of intimidating aura you would expect from a Wall Street CEO twice her age. Quite different from when she interviewed me and quite unusual in the crypto scene.

"If you can get her to sign off on us using her IP for an AI Agent. To the moon! That's where we're going."

Another picture of Mineva showing off her toothy smile is plastered on the wall. The bright smile highlights her warm peach skin. The rays of joy emanating from her make my stomach turn. Too much optimism for me, but I couldn't help but stare. I stared a little too long, though, and my boss got suspicious.

"What? Are you a fan of hers?"

I shake my head in disapproval.

"No, I'm not a fan. I am a vtuber fan though. I'm a diehard..."

The boss holds up her hand and cuts me off. Obviously not interested in my words. Her attention is focused on checking financial charts on her phone.

"Where is this going?"

I freeze, not knowing what to do next. Shilling my Oshi isn't the right thing to do right now. I look at the picture of Mineva again. This is a solid plan on paper. Improving a vtuber's connection to her community is great, but. A question pops up in the back of my mind. Would I be okay with talking to an AI instead of my Oshi? If this is in my mind now, imagine what the gabros would think of this announcement? I exhale and bring up a glaring issue that I think the boss is overlooking.

"Um. Do you think fans of Mineva would go for an AI agent?"

She puts down her phone and gives me her full attention.

"Do you hear yourself? What loser wouldn't want to talk to their goddess 24/7?"

"The word is actually Oshi Mam."

The boss's purple eyes send daggers through me. I struggle to catch my breath. The pressure of her aura is overwhelming.

"Look are you not a good capitalist?"

"I am Mam. I love capitalism. However, I'm just trying to point out that - "

"Then enough yapping and Art of the Deal this shit!"

Her voice causes all the coders in the building to straighten up. I give her a salute among the rising tide of keyboard clicks.

"Yes, Ms Elira!"

Dysnomia, the crypto capital. A new city created as a symbolic gesture to decouple the cryptocurrency market from Wall Street. Although it still remained in New York, many founders decided to set up shop there. Turning it into a true crypto paradise. With its neon lights displaying all the new crypto brands on new skyscrapers, it resembles something out of a cyberpunk movie. A helpful tip if you plan to visit: It helps to wear some kind of sunglasses. The neon lights tend to give me a headache.

I am struggling to get my barrings. I just moved here last week after being hired by Atmos.AI. A dream job to help advance fintech, but I didn't think my first big assignment would be this important. I make my way to the meeting place. A small diner next to Airdrop Square. As the name suggests, it's a place in the middle of the city where people go to get NFT coupons for food, clothing or transportation.

Good for promotion, but a lot of complaints arise when the coupons expire too quickly. It's a little after one, so the noon drop has already happened, meaning there's not a lot of people around the diner. No big crowds and a semi-public location equals a perfect place to meet a vtuber. At least that's what the boss said when she picked the location.

The diner itself has an almost retro look in comparison to the surrounding buildings. It is made out of a shipping crate and designed to look like a mobile business. The chrome finish of the diner would be almost blinding if the sun shone directly on it. I quickly make my way inside. I sit down in a booth two booths away from the entrance. It would be unprofessional to have the meeting at the counter. After all, eye contact is important when negotiating big deals like this.

It doesn't take long after my arrival for Mineva to show up. She signals that it's her with a little wave. She's radically different from my expectations. She is[Description is redacted to prevent doxxing. For now, just use the previously mentioned description of Mineva.]

She slides into the booth and places a small object on the table. It is a miniature version of Gabro's mascot. A Parrie dog in a suit holding a pickaxe in front of it. She taps its head, causing its eyes to glow gold.

"What's that?"

"A signal jammer. Just in case you try to livestream this. Oh, and don't bother trying to take a picture."

She pushes up the glasses she is wearing.

"These bad boys block my face from showing up in photos."

We sit in silence. I am stunned by the lengths she would go to hide her identity. It makes sense, but I feel like a signal jammer is a bit much. The silence breaks as the waitress comes to our booth.

"Ready to order?"

"Yes! 6 pieces of thick-cut bacon with steamed mushrooms. One cider. And a slice of apple pie!"

They both look at me. Forcing me to hurry up and place my order.

"Um. Grilled chicken salad with apple juice."

Our food comes out after a short time. The size of the bacon she ordered is massive. Almost five times thicker than an average piece of bacon. Can she really eat six of them? A bright smile appears on her face as she cuts through her food. She basks in pleasure after taking a bite of the bacon.

"Glad some Americana made it to Dysnomia."

She continues to eat. I try to make a dent in my salad. Eating has calmed my nerves a bit. With every bite, I rehearse in my head. What I'm going to say. It has to be clear and concise. Will I be too formal with my tone? I can't be too casual. Should I use crypto-slang? That might be accessible. The thoughts continue until the sound of knuckles tapping on the table breaks my concentration. Mineva looks at me as she drinks her cider.

"So what does Atmos want?"

I take a deep breath, making sure to maintain eye contact.

"We have an amazing opportunity to improve the connection between you and the gabros. An AI agent of you would be a perfect way for the gabros to communicate with you when you're not streaming or shooting Moonshot. A seamless way to deepen their connection with you. No additional app required, by the way. It can all happen on Trenches. Oh! Not to mention the new financial opportunities AI Mineva can help them find! Expert level trades that would make any cretin jealous. Which means more Akasupas and memberships for you!"

I was so distracted by my pitch that I didn't even see Mineva clear her plate. She remains silent for a moment, playing with the piece of pie. Her face darkens when she stops playing with it. She slowly takes a bite of the pie while squinting her eyes. It's obvious that her suspicions are growing. I try to break the uncomfortable atmosphere.

"So what do you think?"

"Do I have any say in what the bot recommends?"

Okay, that's a fair question.

"Of course, you can sign off on trades before they happen!"

"Now, how would that happen? If the bot is made to chat with the gabros when I'm busy? Unless you are saying you can manipulate the suggestions the bot recommends?"

The feeling of déjà vu that hits me with each of her questions is like a knife in my stomach. I screwed up. I didn't think it was a gotcha question.

"W. W-what. No, that's not"

"So answer me, how do I sign off on referrals?"

A final stab completely shuts me down. Why on earth did I say she could do that? She finishes her pie and slides out of the booth.

"You're not going to rug my gabros that easily."

She walks to the entrance, not even turning to look at me. As the doorbell rang, she said her last words.

"And thanks for lunch!"

Then she is gone. It takes a moment for the words to register, but it hits me all at once when the waitress hands me the check.

"$150!!"

The waitress shrugs. I hand her my company card and feel myself slipping off the booth seat. As I drag myself to get my card back, only one thing goes through my mind.

"Ms. Elira is going to kill me."

Bitcoin has emerged as a modern option for storing value, often compared to traditional assets like gold. Its ability to resist inflation, along with features such as scarcity, decentralization, and security, positions it as a promising tool for preserving wealth in times of economic uncertainty.

A store of value is an asset that maintains its purchasing power over time, protecting wealth against devaluation. Historically, assets like gold and real estate have fulfilled this role due to their relative scarcity and constant demand.

However, fiat currencies have proven less efficient as stores of value due to inflation. Governments and central banks frequently increase the money supply, which can reduce the purchasing power of currencies. This is where Bitcoin stands out as an alternative.

Bitcoin: Programmed Scarcity

The main feature that makes Bitcoin a potential store of value is its limited supply. Only 21 million bitcoins will ever be created—a cap embedded in its code. This programmed scarcity contrasts with fiat currencies, which can be printed without limit by governments, leading to inflation.

Bitcoin creation is also controlled by events known as halvings, which cut the reward for mining new blocks in half approximately every four years. This makes Bitcoin increasingly scarce over time, boosting its potential for appreciation.

Bitcoin offers a solution to inflation, as its fixed supply prevents governments or centralized institutions from manipulating its quantity.

01 - Decentralization and Immutability: Operating on a decentralized network, Bitcoin is immune to political decisions or central bank interventions. No authority can alter the protocol to "print" more bitcoins. 02 - Supply Transparency: All transactions and newly created bitcoins are recorded on the blockchain or timechain, ensuring full transparency. 03 - Purchasing Power Protection: With limited supply and growing demand, Bitcoin has shown a tendency to appreciate over time, acting as a hedge against inflation in various economies.

Bitcoin is often called "digital gold" due to its similarities with the precious metal as a store of value:

01 - Scarcity: Gold is limited in nature, while Bitcoin has a programmed maximum supply of 21 million units. 02 - Portability: Bitcoin is easier to transfer and store than gold, being digitally accessible from anywhere in the world. 03 - Divisibility: Each bitcoin can be divided into up to 100 million units called satoshis, allowing transactions of any value. 04 - Security: While gold requires physical storage and is subject to theft, Bitcoin can be stored in secure digital wallets.

These qualities make Bitcoin a more flexible and accessible option for storing value in an increasingly digital world.

Despite its promise, Bitcoin still faces barriers to being widely accepted as a store of value:

01 - Volatility: Bitcoin’s price has historically shown large fluctuations, which can discourage investors seeking stability. However, many believe that as adoption grows, volatility will decrease. 02 - Regulation: Some governments have implemented actions to restrict or regulate Bitcoin use, which can affect its acceptance as a store of value. 03 - Cultural Adaptation: As a new and digital asset, Bitcoin still needs to earn the trust of people who are used to physical forms of value, like gold.

Bitcoin has proven especially useful as a store of value in economies facing financial crises or hyperinflation. Countries like Venezuela, Argentina, and Zimbabwe, which have experienced severe currency devaluation, have seen increased Bitcoin adoption as a way to protect purchasing power.

Moreover, its global accessibility allows people in countries without easy access to traditional financial markets to use Bitcoin as an alternative.

In summary, Bitcoin possesses distinct features that make it a promising candidate as a store of value in an increasingly digital world affected by fiat currency inflation. Its programmed scarcity, resistance to manipulation, and global accessibility offer a modern solution for preserving wealth.

Although challenges such as volatility and regulation remain, Bitcoin has already proven to be an effective tool for protecting assets, particularly in contexts of economic instability. Over time, and with broader adoption, Bitcoin may establish itself as one of the leading store-of-value assets of the 21st century.

Thank you very much for reading this far. I hope everything is well with you, and sending a big hug from your favorite Bitcoiner maximalist from Madeira. Long live freedom!

Bitcoin is widely recognized as the first and most important innovation in the field of digital currencies. Created by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009, it laid the foundation for a decentralized financial system. Since then, thousands of other digital currencies have emerged - often referred to as cryptocurrencies or even "shitcoins" by critics, who highlight their volatility, lack of clear utility, or centralized control. Comparing Bitcoin to other cryptocurrencies is essential to understanding the unique values that Bitcoin represents.

Bitcoin was created as an alternative to the traditional financial system. Its core mission is to provide a decentralized, censorship-resistant currency free from intermediaries like banks or governments.

In contrast, most other cryptocurrencies/shitcoins were created with different goals, ranging from technological experiments to quick-profit schemes. Many of these coins lack the decentralization and security of Bitcoin, and are often managed by centralized teams or organizations - making them more vulnerable to manipulation and security failures.

• Decentralization and Security

Bitcoin: The Bitcoin network is supported by thousands of nodes around the world, ensuring true decentralization. Its consensus algorithm, Proof of Work (PoW), is time-tested and provides high levels of security against attacks. There is no centralized control, meaning no entity can change its fundamental rules.

Other Cryptocurrencies/Shitcoins: Almost all of them sacrifice decentralization in favor of speed or added features. Some use alternative consensus mechanisms like Proof of Stake (PoS), which, while more energy-efficient, are often criticized for promoting centralization and offering lower security. In many cases, centralized development teams can modify the code, issue more coins, or even shut down the project - undermining user trust.

• Supply and Scarcity

Bitcoin: Bitcoin has a limited supply of 21 million units, ensuring its scarcity. This feature, combined with increasing demand, positions Bitcoin as a reliable store of value, often compared to digital gold.

Other Cryptocurrencies/Shitcoins: Many have no clear supply limits, resulting in uncontrolled inflation. Some are intentionally inflationary, which can decrease their value over time. In many cases, coins are pre-mined or distributed unevenly, favoring creators over the community.

• Purpose and Utility

Bitcoin: Bitcoin is, above all, a form of digital money and a store of value. Its network is reliable and straightforward, with a core focus on being a medium of exchange and a hedge against inflation. Its robustness makes it ideal for both transactions and long-term value storage.

Other Cryptocurrencies/Shitcoins: Many shitcoins are presented as solutions for specific use cases like smart contracts, gaming, or decentralized finance (DeFi). Despite bold promises, many fail to provide real utility or to compete with existing centralized solutions. A significant number of projects lack a clear purpose and are abandoned after a period of speculation.

• Volatility and Reputation

Bitcoin: While Bitcoin is volatile, it is widely accepted as the gold standard of digital currencies. Its reputation has been built over more than a decade of reliable operation and proven security.

Other Cryptocurrencies/Shitcoins: Many shitcoins face extreme volatility, often driven by speculation or market manipulation. Lack of transparency and questionable practices by some projects harm the sector's overall image.

• Censorship Resistance

Bitcoin: Thanks to its decentralization and security, Bitcoin is highly resistant to censorship. Anyone with internet access can participate in the network and make transactions.

Other Cryptocurrencies/Shitcoins: Many "shitcoins" depend on centralized structures or identifiable leaders who can be pressured by governments or other actors to censor transactions.

In summary, Bitcoin remains the undisputed leader in the world of digital currencies due to its decentralization, security, and proven scarcity. It is a system built to last, offering financial freedom and protection against inflation.

Meanwhile, many cryptocurrencies or shitcoins fail to meet the same standards of security and trust - often prioritizing speed, extra features, or speculative profits. For investors and users, it is crucial to distinguish between Bitcoin and the many alternative projects, many of which may not stand the test of time.

Bitcoin not only started a financial revolution but continues to be the benchmark by which all other digital currencies are measured.

Thank you very much for reading this far. I hope everything is well with you, and sending a big hug from your favorite Bitcoiner maximalist from Madeira. Long live freedom!

In recent years, Bitcoin has often been compared to gold, earning the nickname “digital gold.” This comparison arises because both forms of value share key characteristics, such as scarcity, durability, and global acceptance. However, Bitcoin also represents a technological innovation that redefines the concept of money and investment, standing out as a modern and efficient alternative to physical gold.

One of the main reasons Bitcoin is compared to gold is its programmed scarcity. While gold is a naturally limited resource whose supply depends on mining, Bitcoin has a maximum cap of 21 million units, defined in its code. This cap protects Bitcoin from inflation, unlike traditional currencies that can be created without limit by central banks.

This scarcity gives Bitcoin lasting value, similar to gold, as the limited supply helps preserve purchasing power over time. As demand for Bitcoin grows, its reduced availability reinforces its role as a store of value.

Another feature that brings Bitcoin closer to gold is durability. While gold is resistant to corrosion and can be stored for centuries, Bitcoin is a digital asset protected by advanced cryptography and stored on the blockchain. An immutable and decentralized ledger.

Moreover, Bitcoin is far easier to transport than gold. Moving physical gold involves high costs and security risks, making transport particularly difficult for international transactions. Bitcoin, on the other hand, can be sent digitally anywhere in the world in minutes, with low fees and no intermediaries. This technological advantage makes Bitcoin more effective in a globalized and digital world.

Security is another trait that Bitcoin and gold share. Gold is difficult to counterfeit, making it a reliable store of value. Similarly, Bitcoin uses cryptographic protocols that ensure secure transactions and protect against fraud.

In addition, all Bitcoin transactions are recorded on the blockchain, offering a level of transparency that physical gold does not provide. Anyone can review transactions on the network, increasing trust and traceability.

Historically, gold has been used as a hedge against inflation and economic crises. During times of instability, investors turn to gold as a way to preserve their wealth. Bitcoin is emerging as a digital alternative with the same purpose.

In countries with high inflation or political instability, Bitcoin has been used as a safeguard against the devaluation of local currencies. Its decentralized nature prevents governments from directly confiscating or controlling the asset, providing greater financial freedom to users.

Despite its similarities with gold, Bitcoin still faces challenges. Its volatility is much higher, which can cause short-term uncertainty. However, many experts argue that this volatility is typical of new assets and tends to decrease over time as adoption grows and the market matures.

Another challenge is regulation. While gold is globally recognized as a financial asset, Bitcoin still faces resistance from governments and financial institutions, which seek ways to control and regulate it.

In summary, Bitcoin - often called "digital gold" - offers a new form of value that combines the best characteristics of gold with the efficiency and innovation of digital technology. Its programmed scarcity, cryptographic security, portability, and resistance to censorship make it a viable alternative for preserving wealth and conducting transactions in the modern world.

Despite its volatility, Bitcoin is establishing itself as both a store of value and a hedge against economic crises. As such, it represents not just an evolution of the financial system but also a symbol of the shift toward a decentralized and global digital economy.

Bitcoin has emerged as a modern option for storing value, often compared to traditional assets like gold. Its ability to resist inflation, combined with features such as scarcity, decentralization, and security, makes it a promising tool for preserving wealth in times of economic uncertainty.

A store of value is an asset that maintains its purchasing power over time, protecting wealth from devaluation. Historically, assets like gold and real estate have played this role because they are relatively scarce and in constant demand.

However, fiat currencies have proven less effective as stores of value due to inflation. Governments and central banks often increase the money supply, which can reduce the purchasing power of currencies. In this context, Bitcoin stands out as an alternative.

Bitcoin: Programmed Scarcity

The main feature that makes Bitcoin a potential store of value is its limited supply. Only 21 million bitcoins will ever be created, a cap established in its code. This programmed scarcity contrasts with fiat currencies, which can be printed without limits by governments, leading to inflation.

The creation of Bitcoin is also controlled by events known as halvings, which cut the mining reward in half approximately every four years. This makes Bitcoin increasingly scarce over time, boosting its potential for appreciation.

Bitcoin offers a solution to the problem of inflation, as its fixed supply prevents governments or centralized institutions from manipulating its quantity.

01 - Decentralization and Immutability: Operating on a decentralized network, Bitcoin is immune to political decisions or central bank interventions. No authority can change the protocol to "print" more bitcoins. 02 - Transparency of Supply: All transactions and newly created bitcoins are recorded on the blockchain or timechain, ensuring full transparency. 03 - Purchasing Power Protection: With limited supply and growing demand, Bitcoin has shown a tendency to appreciate over time, acting as a hedge against inflation in several economies.

Bitcoin is often called “digital gold” due to its similarities to the precious metal as a store of value:

01 - Portability: Bitcoin is easier to transfer and store than gold, being digitally accessible anywhere in the world. 02 - Divisibility: Each bitcoin can be divided into up to 100 million units called satoshis, allowing for transactions of any value. 03 - Security: While gold requires physical storage and is subject to theft, Bitcoin can be stored in secure digital wallets.

These qualities make Bitcoin a more flexible and accessible option for storing value in an increasingly digital world.

Despite its promise, Bitcoin still faces barriers to being widely accepted as a store of value:

01 - Volatility: Bitcoin's price has historically shown large fluctuations, which can discourage investors seeking safety. However, many believe that as adoption grows, volatility will decrease. 02 - Regulation: Some governments have implemented measures to restrict or regulate Bitcoin use, which may impact its acceptance as a store of value. 03 - Cultural Adaptation: As a new and digital asset, Bitcoin still needs to earn the trust of people accustomed to physical stores of value like gold.

Bitcoin has proven to be a particularly useful store of value in economies facing financial crises or hyperinflation. Countries like Venezuela, Argentina, and Zimbabwe, which experienced sharp currency devaluation, have seen growing adoption of Bitcoin as a way to preserve purchasing power.

Moreover, its global accessibility allows people in countries without easy access to traditional financial markets to use Bitcoin as an alternative.

In summary, Bitcoin has unique characteristics that make it a promising candidate as a store of value in an increasingly digital world affected by fiat currency inflation. Its programmed scarcity, resistance to manipulation, and global accessibility offer a modern solution for preserving wealth.

Although challenges like volatility and regulation still need to be addressed, Bitcoin has already proven to be an effective tool for protecting assets, especially in economically unstable environments. Over time, and with growing adoption, Bitcoin may solidify its place as one of the primary stores of value in the 21st century.

Plus, federal tax credits, state incentives, and net metering programs can lower both the initial and ongoing costs of going solar. Reliability and independence Solar power also provides unmatched reliability and independence, particularly in areas prone to power outages. Coupling your solar panels with a high-capacity battery storage system allows you to maintain power for essential devices during power cuts.

It becomes a critical advantage if you need to keep your computers, internet, and other tools working to stay productive.

Solar energy also frees you from relying on the power grid, which is especially helpful if you live in rural or remote areas where power may be less reliable or more expensive. Additional Tips for a Sustainable Home Office Maximize your home office with these practical ways: Complementary green technologies Consider incorporating complementary green technologies into your home office, such as:

Smart thermostats

Devices like the Nest or Ecobee learn your habits and adjust the temperature to maximize comfort while minimizing energy usage. A smart thermostat regulates heating and cooling based on your schedule, significantly reducing your energy use and costs.

Energy monitors

Tools like the Sense Home Energy Monitor help track energy usage across your home. You can identify energy-draining devices to make better decisions about allocating and conserving power and optimizing your solar system's efficiency.

ผับเปิด... วัยรุ่นต่อแถว ทุกครั้งที่เรากินคาร์บ โดยเฉพาะแป้งหรือของหวาน ร่างกายก็จะแปลงมันเป็นกลูโคส หรือน้ำตาลในกระแสเลือด เจ้ากลูโคสเหล่านี้ก็จะมาต่อแถวเข้า “ผับเซลล์” พอคนเยอะ อินซูลินก็ต้องออกมาทำงานหนัก พาแต่ละคนเข้าไปจัดสรรให้เรียบร้อย ทีนี้ถ้าน้ำตาลมาก และมาพร้อมกัน อินซูลินก็ต้อง “spike” คือพุ่งขึ้นเพื่อจัดการด่วน ซึ่งถ้าร่างกายทำแบบนี้บ่อย ๆ ไม่ดีเลย เพราะมันทำให้ระบบเสื่อม เกิด ภาวะดื้ออินซูลิน นึภภาพพนักงานทำงานกันแบบ ปาร์ตี้คืนวันสงกรานต์ในผับย่าน อาร์ซีเอ หรือข้าวสาร สุดท้ายก็มักนำไปสู่เบาหวาน ความอ้วน และความเสื่อมแบบค่อยเป็นค่อยไป

ACV, ไฟเบอร์ช่วยไหม? ช่วย แต่ไม่ได้ลดน้ำตาล เทคนิคกินผักก่อน กินน้ำส้มสายชู หรือเพิ่มไฟเบอร์สูง ๆ ก่อนคาร์บ มันช่วย ชะลอการดูดซึม ของน้ำตาลจริง ๆ เหมือนกับมีการ์ดหน้าผับมาตรวจบัตรก่อนเข้าทีละคน แถวมันเลยไม่กรูกันเข้าแบบม็อบ แต่มาเรื่อย ๆ ทีละคน ๆ พีอาร์หน้าประตูก็จัดการระบบได้เบาแรงขึ้น

ฟังดูดีใช่ไหม? ใช่... แต่ ไม่ได้แปลว่าวัยรุ่นเหล่านั้นจะไม่เข้าผับ สุดท้าย พวกเขาก็เข้าไปครบเหมือนเดิมอยู่ดี นั่นคือ ร่างกายก็ยังได้รับน้ำตาลเท่าเดิมนั่นแหละ ... แค่เข้าช้าลงเท่านั้น

แล้วมันดีตรงไหนล่ะ ถ้ามันไม่ได้ลดน้ำตาล? มันดีตรงที่ spike จะไม่พุ่งเร็ว พอชะลอได้ อินซูลินก็ไม่ต้องทำงานแบบโหม ซึ่งในระยะสั้น มันช่วยให้ระดับน้ำตาลในเลือดไม่แกว่งจัดเกินไป ดีต่อสมอง ไม่ทำให้ง่วงหลังมื้ออาหาร

แต่ถ้าเรายังเลือกกินอาหารที่แปลงเป็นน้ำตาลเยอะ ๆ อยู่ดี แม้จะกินช้าลง ยังไงน้ำตาลก็สะสม เหมือนวัยรุ่นที่เข้าผับช้าลง แต่จำนวนก็เท่าเดิม เฮียว่าเราควรหันมาถามตัวเองว่า...

การลด spike อินซูลินด้วยไฟเบอร์หรือ ACV เป็นวิธี ช่วยผ่อนแรง ให้ร่างกาย แต่ไม่ใช่การ “ลดปริมาณน้ำตาลที่เข้าสู่ร่างกาย” น้ำตาลยังคงเข้าเท่าเดิม และถ้าทำแบบนี้ทุกวัน ทุกมื้อ ก็เหมือนเปิดผับรับวัยรุ่นทุกคืน ต่อให้เข้าช้า แต่ก็ยังเข้าครบอยู่ดี

พักเรื่องน้ำมันไว้วันนึง พอดีมีคนถามต่อเนื่องมาจาก ACV #pirateketo #กูต้องรู้มั๊ย #ม้วนหางสิลูกแค่ลดการ spike แต่ไม่ได้หายไปไหน เฮียขอเล่าเรื่องผับ... ไม่ใช่ผับที่มีไฟสลัว ๆ เสียงเบสแน่น ๆ หรอกนะ แต่เป็น “ผับร่างกาย” ที่เปิดประตูรับแขกชื่อ “น้ำตาล” เข้าไปทุกวันแบบไม่รู้ตัว

ในโลกของสุขภาพ น้ำตาลก็เหมือนวัยรุ่นที่ชอบเข้าไปในผับหลังมืดค่ำทุกคืน ส่วน อินซูลิน ก็คือพีอาร์หน้าผับ มีหน้าที่เปิดประตูให้เด็กพวกนี้เข้าไปในเซลล์ พอวัยรุ่นแห่มาพร้อมกัน อินซูลินก็ต้องเร่งเปิดประตูรัว ๆ นั่นแหละที่เขาเรียกกันว่า insulin spike

หลายคนรู้ว่า spike บ่อย ๆ ไม่ดี เลยพยายามหาวิธี “ลด spike” บางคนดื่มน้ำส้มสายชูแอปเปิ้ล (ACV) บางคนกินผักใยสูงก่อนอาหาร บางคนจัดซุปใส่ไฟเบอร์แบบคุม ๆ มาเสริม เฮียบอกเลยว่า “ดี” อยู่ครับ... แต่ หลายคนเข้าใจว่า การลด spike เท่ากับการลดน้ำตาล จริง ๆ แล้วน้ำตาลไม่ได้หายไปไหนเลย มันแค่ เดินเข้าช้าลงเท่านั้นเอง

@ 8671a6e5:f88194d1

Users are not employees Continued from (part 1)

Bitcoiners know how a lot of stuff works, so we think everybody knows. That’s a project management assumption that belongs more in the hobby-code project sphere (where it’s even cool to do so). And sure, I enjoy that myself when I’m building a small tool for fun with no one to answer to. But that mindset doesn’t scale when the goal is to make Bitcoin more accessible and structurally sound for new users. Some argue we don’t need new users at all—that Bitcoin is so good, so perfect, that people will eventually come around. Imagine being forced to use bitcoin by economic and monetary circumstances, to realize you hate to work with things like Nunchuk ‘s multisig or a Trezor hardware wallet from 2025.

An impression: Bitcoiners know that opening a Lightning channel comes with an on-chain fee—unless the provider covers it and claws it back through subscriptions or service charges. But the average user doesn’t. So when that fee appears out of nowhere, or gets buried in cryptic devspeak jargon, so they bounce, often left confused, frustrated, and unlikely to return.

That’s not that bad on itself, as long as companies know who their audience is and take care of the way you inform users. You have to “raise” your customers. Not scare them away with a wall of nonsense.

Same goes for onboarding people into Nostr sometimes by the way.

If features like this or natural onboarding hurdles were explained with more than just puzzling error codes or vague on-screen prompts, half the users wouldn’t vanish in the first 10 seconds, confused and frustrated. It’s the same story we’ve seen with PGP: people stumble during the initial key creation, or get lost trying to sign a message with someone’s public key. The tech works; the experience doesn’t. Have trust in what you’ve build underneath!

It’s a barrier for newcomers. Just keep it in mind. Take care of the user. They do like to come on board! Most people do want to come on board. Our goal is to help free them from fiat, not drown them in confusing UX or half-baked tools. Bitcoin's underlying value might be incredible, but that doesn’t matter to someone still trapped in the fiat bubble. They won’t get onboarded through broken apps or confusing flows, just like they’ll use something like SimpleX on Linux.

To make it even worse, some bitcoin organizations and companies don’t seem to grasp the extent of this alienation of the user — because it’s always brushed off as ‘niche’ or just an edge case. It’s all so obvious for them on how to use it. But it adds up. Sites like Highlighter.com (I like their underlying service by the way!) is not working properly with Nos2x (a key handler) on the first try. A user needs to know to reload, re-try, re-load again after selecting the public key, then maybe it works). These are exactly the kind of small annoyances that new users won’t wade through. It’s also not that difficult to tackle it with proper testing.

Users who encounter such thing, certainly when they just wanted to see what the site or service did, just leave. Let someone who just discovered Nostr try logging in there for example, and unless they're unusually determined, they'll get stuck immediately, wondering why pasting their public key and clicking “login” doesn’t lead anywhere. It’s a brick wall; and the creators think it’s a nice landing page.

These things also lead to other frustrations and eventual software cycling through the interested users’ hands.

About a year ago I “onboarded” a friend of mine, and she already tried four wallets since I introduced her to the wonderful world of Bitcoin/LN wallets. First just to get things going she used Wallet of Satoshi, then when the custodial story was getting traction for this user, we moved to Phoenix (which failed due to upfront money). Next, Aqua wallet, which was too cumbersome and had hiccups, and then moving on to Mutiny wallet, which shut down a bit later.

And so we ended up back with Wallet of Satoshi, with Blink being a second choice but having to give a telephone number was too much for the user (yes, you can skip that if you carefully read and put it in test / demo mode or whatever it’s called).

People kept recommending other wallet brands, other names to try, … there are always other names. “Try Muun” “Get Zeus”, “Why don’t you go for CoinOs, just as a web app?” (that last one is actually good) … but it’s always like that … if you talk to ten bitcoiners, then you’ll have heard five different ‘best wallets’ to try, and you’ve had probably get about four referral links from all of these people. (Or some Relai squad member trying to get a few sats out of your genuine interest:)

Real testing is a ghost town

We saw in part 1 that Bitcoin companies do some testing these days—but it lacks specialization. It’s often so superficial that the cracks are visible in the software itself: clumsy onboarding flows, unclear settings, or unexpected fields asking for information users don’t have and don’t know how to get. Much of this stems from the habit of pulling in a handful of “fans” or supporters to try out a beta version.

That’s the wrong way to go (the fiat companies that do this, usually get bad or inconclusive results as well, unless you’re doing it a scale and a very diverse audience).

Most of the people brought in this way have no background in structured testing, let alone in reporting bugs clearly or identifying critical failure points. The feedback you get is vague and surface-level: “I like the colors,” “the buttons feel small,” or “I got an error when I tried to send something.”

But rarely do you hear what caused it, what preceded it, or what device or settings were involved. That kind of insight doesn’t come from random fans trying to get their hands on some products or perks. You’ll have to pay professionals to do it. And even when meaningful feedback does come in, it often ends up on the wrong or overworked hands, forwarded to whichever developer drew the short straw that weekend. There's usually no structured triage, no internal testing culture that treats usability or edge cases as part of the real product. Just a sigh, a shrug, and back to building features that sound cool when they dreamed it up.

I keep hammering this point because this might be the only time you’ll actually read about it. No company—bitcoin or fiat—tries to win users by focusing on boring but critical details like onboarding clarity or robust edge-case handling. They’ll avoid claiming “this just works,” because saying so invites scrutiny and backlash. The only company bold (or arrogant) enough to occasionally say that is Apple—and even they drop the ball more often than they like to admit.

By design

The dream I have, is “Usability by design”. And that dream is close to non-existent in the realm and everyday reality of Bitcoin. From the moment something gets drawn up or is being created, the design and user flow, the easy adoption, should be kept in mind as well as the real implementation factors for the intended purpose (and beyond even). Then you hardly have any discussions like “yeah, but technically the user has to make an input here, so we can’t do otherwise, and it works on my machine”

Users that have to trial and error, are maybe bitcoin-natives, and like that sort of stuff. Other people just want to try something out (wallet, nostr, an exchange, a node, lightning …) and expect it to work smooth. It gives them trust in the system.

These issues all create enormous opportunity for companies that would start to take software delivery quality more serious. But I’m afraid that would cost them two things most Bitcoin companies already lack: time and proper funding.

Many are stuck in a “pump-my-bags” mindset, focused more on hype than durability, while others simply don’t have the resources to invest in thoughtful UX, thorough testing, or long-term support.

The very few companies that do “get it”, and make something that just works, with good leadership and a focus on clear, usable interfaces—often catch flack for it. They’re criticized for making things “too easy,” “too centralized,” or for “lowering the bar,” as if simplicity and accessibility are somehow problems. But in reality, these are the companies pushing the space forward, making it easier for people to use Bitcoin without the constant headache. And newsflash: you can do so with keeping bitcion’s ethos alive I think, even without a company as a middleman. Which raises another problem about funding and hard money, something I’ll write more about in chapter 12 of this series.

Back to the software…. Protonmail’s wallet comes to mind where most bitcoiners I know just scoffed at like “it doesn’t have lightning”, or “why do we need another wallet?”. While they deliver an excellent product that just works.

Exactly. Take the Stack Wallet project, for example. They had the audacity to incorporate Monero, and because of that, they’re shunned by many Bitcoiners — despite offering a solid, open-source, multi-platform wallet that actually works. It’s a perfect example of how Bitcoiners can sometimes reject the very things that could help bring more users into the space, all because they don’t align perfectly with some purist ideology. While on the other hand these same bitcoiners support middlemen multi-level-marketing tactics from questionable companies.

But I guess yelling “oooh shiiiitcoooooin” is the easier answer, instead of making something that works fine. And by the way, if you want, you can fork that wallet and take a bitcoin-only version to market, however, the same people say “Oh, but that’s no my task”. (Yeah, we all know what your “task” is, gluing a sticker on a pole).

Another nice illustration is the kind of reaction you get if you “provoke the beast” by using the really usable, always working, always compatible, fast starting, lightning wallet “Wallet of Satoshi”. If you use that wallet at a bitcoin meetup, you’ll get clever remarks (from people that ar technically right, I mind saying) like: “You know… that’s custodial right?” (this came after I gave a presentation, and some smartass walked in when I ordered a beer from the honesty bar at the local meetup…) “Yeah I know man, but I’m scanning an LNurl here, so I just want it to work fine” (like I have to defend myself to them) “But you’re supporting these custodial thieves, they have already so much power man”, … said the dude that never even lifted a finger at the meetups to help anyone out or get things set up. “So… make something better.” I answered “Yeah, there’s like Zeus and stuff” “Uhuh, I tried it… I never got it to work properly. I just use this WoS today”

They usually get mad. Because they want everyone to follow their lead, and that lead is always the way of most resistance and acting like a normal user-repellent. I know we’re all rat-poison in bitcoin, but not take it too far please.

Other discussions like this always evolve into the “you’re dumb” argument (I like to provoke these types at meetups by scanning a qr and getting a payment through, while they’re fiddling with their whatever it is that runs on a node they need to reboot every few hours or so). calling out the ones who act like they know it all, but don’t have a solid grasp on the fundamentals themselves. We all make mistakes, and that’s where the real growth happens.

The other answer you can give is: “Hey why are you sending me a WhatsApp message man? Why don’t you use a Free BDS and a GNUPGP encrypted message brought to me on a micro-sd card through a sneaker net currier?” And they would be like “eh now, I just send you a WhatsApp message” “Oh you know these are all collecting your meta data right?”…

The double standard among bitcoiners these days regarding usability is incredible.

I know there’s plenty of software trying to be both non-custodial and user-friendly—don’t remind me. My point is: in the Bitcoin world, usability is often treated like a dirty word, something suspicious or even dangerous. But it’s the opposite—we're the hope, and usability is our fire starter, the spark that lights the fuse for real adoption. Without it, we’ll just be another niche tool used by a few, and not the global movement we could be.

Nod to the Node So, I can finally say it like I think it is: 90% of bitcoin software sucks donkey balls when it comes to usability, UX and UI.

A few things I want to mention in that regard, because things move too fast to write it all down in a book to keep up with.

Some examples of bad UX and/or rotten software experiences:

In Sparrow 2.0, commonly praised as as a “good” wallet, lacks of good interface. Try to create a multisig wallet there, and you’ll soon be met with a persistent bug that frustrates users when signing a transaction. The software prompts for a hardware wallet for example, even when a software wallet's seed is loaded, creating a confusing and poorly designed user interface experience. And yes, for bitcoin this is considered a good wallet, as the others are even worse (Nunchuk and Electrum don’t do much better).

Or Blue Wallet, which finally in 2025 fixed a few UI bugs and annoyances, but otherwise has a few really rotten design choices which makes using it not intuitive enough. Users don’t get much further on some aspects without looking anything up in youtube tutorials. And only bitcoiners do that anyway. Users just stop opening the app after a while.

Try to create a multi-sig wallet for example in Blue wallet, then take a random part away from the setup and try to use it with the leftover parts. It works. But you’ll be really pressed to get it done within 40 minutes. (Unless that’s your job and you demo it every so often in a studio).

Bitcoin Core, is also a prime example of bitcoin software, that has a command line interface repelling users like it’s a steaming turd on the street. It has a (let’s say) “spartan” way of working. And yes, I know this piece of software is not meant to be the next Instagram-like user interface for everyday use by the masses, but it’s a far cry from being usable in the really real world. Getting anything done inside that software is a constant battle against clunky commands, and their cryptic error messages. Even getting a private key out for one of your addresses of your own wallet, is hell. bitcoin core’s infamous command line at work

Also puzzling to me is the “success” of Bitcoin Core’s wallet. It’s command line “help” is enough to frustrate even the most willing of new users.

For example (and there are a dozen things like this) , try to get a command like “dumppriv” key (to see the private key from a wallet address) working.

And some more:

Jade wallet’s inability to store BIP39 compatible seed phrases (at the time of testing, beginning of 2024), when the seed contained a double word. Don’t know if they ever fixed it, as I couldn’t get into my Jade wallet v1 anymore after the pin code entry screen froze and was not even coming back after a factory reset.

We have Phoenix (where finding the right URL for downloading it, is already a first hurdle to take by the way:) try to tell the URL by heart to another person, without searching online… I’ll wait.

And Strike app, alongside the much despised Wallet of Satoshi (in my opinion the only people in bitcoin together with the creators of the Minibits.cash creators) that get the importance of a simple to use interface and a good well-thought out inner working.

And when I took a shot at the new Trezor Safe 5 wallet I got some critique because I “tested it like an end user” (yeah, it was my fault… I made the exact same mistakes than the end user that had this wallet and asked me for help, after 30 min. of trying, we figured out that the words were in fact not seed words but some verification method that also created a 20 words SLIP39 seed by default… and we fat fingered the stupid interface design a few times, on which the whole thing had to be restarted after a reset to defaults… Try to explain that to a new user that just wanted to have a wallet and had about 1 hour time…

But I guess people demonstrating such things in a studio don’t mind that. It’s just “what do you sell?” now. If the hardware with the unknown supply chain attack vectors sells well, then everyone is happy… the manufacturer, the marketing team, the podcasts that get sponsorship and the events that can have a budget; the user is really at the very back-end last in line… usually queuing up for coffee with the rest of the liquidity-cows.

Also it had accompanying software that kept hanging though some updating loops, it has a clumsy swipe/touch (and sometimes) hold, then swipe again-interface that no one I tested it with, could get through when creating a new wallet. But of course, it’s always the dumb users’ fault I guess.

The Zeus wallet that claims to be super user friendly and cool, is also something… weird. Where you can’t really set it up, without some very technical guidance. To their advantage: the very first thing you read on their website is “To start using ZEUS you will need to be running your own Bitcoin lightning node.” (they at least mention it, that’s progress) But… there it ends for most users of course. Babysitting a Lightning node is absolutely not something you want to entrust a new user with. Not in order to get a wallet up and running at least :)

Then you get the Linuxsplaining : “Then you’re not the intended user”.

NWC (nostr wallet connect) is some very promising tool, and it has features and way of working I like in theory. But I’ve yet have to see the first smooth implementation that can be understood by normal non-tech people (even the wording of the text fields it completely unclear).

A small example of making your software unusable? Well… do like NWC does and indicate that the user needs to “connect” through this service with : “nostr+walletconnect://”

So when I asked some people what I needed to fill in there, and how I would get these values… they said “it’s a string”. which tells me nothing. And so, the user left

Tip: add real user guidance. When you connect to a service, at least point to WHERE people get explained how to create such a wallet string, or where to get it, from which website or service.

It’s the same as telling someone “hey you have to call a number to reach our catering service” ”Ok, your website says “phone us“ ”yeah, its a number man.. a phone number” ”Ok; but where do I get which phone number I need to call” ”It’s like… a number man, duh you’re so dumb”

So, if there’s no user guidance, the user will leave. After searching for a few minutes I just gave up.

Nostr is also starting to feel like that usability-averse stance is getting traction, although there are promising signs, as they need new users to thrive and seem to realize that all too well. But still… it has it’s moments of user-repelling snags. Nostr relay lists don’t allow you to copy relay addresses, making it a hassle to set up on mobile. No one seems to realize that users want to simply copy these values rather than struggle to recall if it’s “ssw,” “wss,” or “wws://” and type them out manually. And make mistakes eventually.

puzzling for people who don’t have Alby and want to get such code Arrays are not human Then there’s the BIP39 seed system (12 or 24 words representing a key derived via a KDF and mapped through a lookup table). Mathematically, this wordlist is an array—and arrays start at 0. So, word 0 = "abandon". But most humans naturally count from 1, making "abandon" word 1 in their eyes. Both are valid depending on perspective: 0 is technically correct, 1 is intuitive. There’s no clear winner—both versions float around in Bitcoinland. Same mess with compressed vs. uncompressed keys (don’t get me started). So, when I made bip39tool.com I gave users the option: go full math mode with 0 = abandon, or go human mode and start with 1 (the default). Even hardware makers don’t agree. Blockplate starts at 1 = abandon (source), While the widely used master BIP39 list has no number attached (just a raw list), but appears to be starting at 1 because of Githubs’s line numbering (source) while some others use 0 = abandon

As one user (Codebender) excellently put it: ”Array is an offset, not a cardinal number. The first entry is zero away from the beginning of the array, the second entry is one away.”

Sink through the ceiling

Most tools today cater purely to Bitcoiners, built with a 'Bitcoin' mindset that expects non-Bitcoin users to adapt instead of being taken along for the ride.

That works as we’ve seen, but hits an “orange colored glass ceiling” at some point. You can build the next “Lotus notes” and be really happy about Lotus notes enthusiasts and the consultants that got hired to implement and migrate that office note system, and it’s e-mail software at a hefty fee. But you’re still in your own niche bubble, thinking your software owns the world and you can be bothered to look further than your own audience.

The same way people that were into Lotus Notes were very keen on a big player like IBM acquiring the software and brand to build on it some more.

And of course,… Bitcoin is bitcoin, there can’t be a second best, there can’t be a replacement that comes in and swoops up the market share or replaces the functions like Lotus Notes was replaced by Google workspace, Microsoft Exchange or Slack.

I don’t want to make the point that bitcoin will be replaced by a new player (I’m not a shitcoiner). I do however, want to make the point that we’ve become collectively lazy, complacent about usability, to the point that we’re actually the Google, Microsoft and so on… but with the interface of our own underlying “Lotus Notes” or PGP .

If We Don’t Fix UX, Bitcoin Becomes the next PGP

To understand how bad it is, we again need to take a small look at the past. To better understand the now, and to avoid some future mistakes.

Let’s quickly recall some examples from the '90s, like Microsoft’s Clippy, Bob, Vista, and Netscape Navigator 4—failures driven by poor usability, feature creep, or mishaps that eroded trust. Lotus Notes serves as a warning: even widely used platforms can lose their edge if usability and modernization are neglected, leaving room for competitors. Bitcoin doesn’t face competition in the traditional sense, but it does face something worse: the erosion of usability and trust, which threatens the very foundation of hard money we rely on. It’s our only shot at hard money we’re ever going to have. It’s do-or-die.

And that’s our Achilles heel: we stand or die with that trust.

For now, Bitcoin’s trust comes from its decentralized, secure network and its value propositions. But usability has been sidelined for years, largely due to a lack of serious testing. Some companies recently hired 14 new team members: - 4 Software Engineers - 3 R&D Engineers - 2 Data Scientists - 1 Machine Learning Engineer - 1 Talent Acquisition Specialist - 1 Global Controller, 2 Marketeers… No testers.

I’m serious about this: when the broader bitcoin space (from Bitcoin Core to the newest coolest and latest Nostr plugin) don’t take testing more serious, then we’ll end up just being the creators of the software equivalent of a “Bonzi Buddy” or the next “Lotus Notes”.

Because we’ll be catering to the same people that liked the system 10+ years ago, and have no clue why new users don’t flock to it anymore. Then our core value we’re so proud of right now, will be nothing more than a laughing stock because it stands only through trust.

If we don’t take this seriously, Bitcoin’s core value will fade, and we’ll lose trust—not to altcoins, but to our own neglect.

Fiat parasites and our own complacency is our real “competitor”.

When we lose this battle for usability and relevancy, then the math, code and the core of bitcoin would still go on to exist, with more and more users being locked out because the complexity rises. While others would reluctantly try to make efforts to get in. This will impact how you interact with and maintain nodes, as well as manage lightning channels and participate in the P2P economy of the Bitcoin standard. We would become a small island that “gets it”. A curiosum. We’de be the Moloka‘i1 of decentralization. (Make your own ‘Father Damien’ joke here if you like).

You can’t see me

This is happening right now.

The real usability repels new users, with only a few exceptions holding the fort.

It doesn’t bother the store-of-value and pump-my-bags crowd—they're not using Bitcoin anyway and don’t care either way, as long as they make their fiat gains in a quarterly report or at the end of a year. When you onboard a business and teach them self custody, they’re usually set... then forget. You encounter the real issues along the way. There’s little real use, as average people still need a "specialist" to hold their hand.

After a while, Bitcoiners who explain things end up like Lotus Notes consultants, trying to make a buck on a system no one else understands or really cares about.

Usability in the Bitcoin ecosystem is stagnating. The so-called "studio usability" presented by Bitcoin influencers with nice podcasts, who demo new stuff and ignore flaws to stay “positive,” is part of the problem. It's the same with the flood of metal plate seed bearers (as an example) We have about 25 products that aren’t as innovative as they’re made out to be. And it’s all fan-tas-tic and cool on every review. Unless you really test it. (luckily some actually do that)

The real issue is that nobody dares saying: “This hardware wallet sucks” or “This product is too buggy to trust.”

On the flip side of that coin we’ve got the LinuxSplaining crowd—treating lack of usability like a virtue. For them, being one of the ten people on a metaphorical Bitcoin leper colony who can navigate some convoluted tool is a badge of honor. They’ll call it a success even if the other eight billion people can’t—or won’t—bother opening the app, dismissing those users as simply too clueless to matter.

These folks would happily sit beside the 30th Satoshi Nakamoto statue, ignoring the peanuts tossed at their face by passersby. Some will reach 60, sporting stained Star Wars t-shirts, proud to be the only ones who still understand Bitcoin. To them, that’s success — because Bitcoin was always meant to be their obscure triumph and it’s becoming a way of life for them to be that weird uncle that’s into computers and stuff like “crypto”. ’No man, it’s bitcoin, not cryptooh!’

I want bitcoin to open the door to freedom and abundance of ideas and real-life solutions, and not becoming a barbed wire fence around a lepper colony. Even in that grim outpost, you’d still find two Bitcoiners barricaded in their hut without AC, boycotting the òther eight because one tweaked their node settings the wrong way.

Let’s build tools and bridges towards bitcoin, as a "usable bitcoin” (because that’s bitcoin too!) Build tools that invite everyone to the table, not just the converted, the Linuxsplainers and know-it-alls.

Only then will we move onwards, to a thriving, open ecosystem where you’re not feeling like a Lotus Notes consultant that ran away from 1994, but a bitcoiner who’s part of positive changes in the world. ”Fix your bugs, before you try to fix the world.”

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

"I don't get it... How is James still in charge?" Tracy murmured, her brows furrowed as she stared at her screen. She sat in her office, fingers nervously drumming against her desk.

Across from her, Mark stood with arms folded, pacing slowly. "You mean after all that evidence? After the blacklist, the embezzlement records nothing happened?"

Tracy shook her head. "Nothing. I checked again this morning. He’s still listed as President of JP Enterprises. It’s like the files we found didn’t even exist."

Helen, who had been silent until now, hissed through clenched teeth. "This is ridiculous. Are you sure the information got to the right hands?"

"It did," Tracy insisted. "I sent it directly to the Prime Minister's inbox using a confidential channel. I even received a delivery confirmation. Someone higher up must’ve swept it under the rug or maybe James covered his tracks faster than we imagined."

Mark slumped into the chair, clearly defeated. "He’s not just lucky he’s smart. Smarter than we gave him credit for."

For the first time since they began scheming, their confidence had begun to falter. They had dug into James’s past, unearthed the most damning of records, and yet… nothing. He remained untouched. Unshaken.

James continued to lead JP Enterprises with iron resolve, his status not just preserved, but strengthened. Whatever scandal they tried to ignite had fizzled out before it could burn.

The silence from JP's top board members was loud. No statements. No investigations. Not even a whisper of an internal review. To the outside world, James remained the unshakable President who had pulled a crumbling empire back from the edge.

Mark clenched his jaw. "He must have allies who are protecting him."

Helen nodded slowly. "We underestimated him. That was our biggest mistake."

Tracy remained quiet, her eyes still fixed on the screen as if trying to decipher what had gone wrong. She had risked everything, accessed confidential files, and violated protocols, expecting James to crumble.

Instead, he was thriving.

"Have you heard?" Robert leaned over his desk, eyes wide with interest. "JP Enterprises is about to celebrate their sixteenth anniversary. It’s going to be the biggest corporate event of the year."

Christopher looked up from the documents he was reviewing. "I heard. Mr. and Mrs. JP are returning for it. The entire business world is going to be there including us."

Robert nodded. "Every major company in and out of the city has received an invitation. It’s not just a celebration it’s a power show. A way for JP Enterprises to remind everyone who’s at the top."

Indeed, the buzz around the sixteenth anniversary of JP Enterprises was like nothing the city had seen in years. Massive banners were already being hoisted across the city skyline. High-end hotels were fully booked. Fashion designers, chefs, tech specialists, and media crews from around the world were preparing for the grand occasion. It was more than a business event, it was a spectacle.

At the heart of the preparations was James, the young and surprisingly unshakable President of JP Enterprises. Under his leadership, the company had grown in power and reach, and the anniversary was both a celebration of its legacy and a testament to its transformation.

Meanwhile, at Ray Enterprises, tension brewed behind the scenes. Though they were invited, the Ray family carried mixed feelings about attending the event. Memories of humiliation and disbelief still lingered the day James had revealed himself as the President was still fresh in their minds.

"We have no choice but to attend," Helen muttered in frustration during a board meeting. "If we stay away, we’ll seem petty and afraid. But going there means bowing our heads to him again."

Sarah, the secretary, tried to mask her discomfort. "It’s a corporate event, ma’am. It might be best to appear neutral… diplomatic."

Rita, now reinstated as General Manager, remained quiet but observant. She knew better than anyone how unpredictable James could be when it came to public appearances. She had no idea what to expect from him at the anniversary.

Back at JP Enterprises, preparations continued in full force. The guest list included billionaires, global CEOs, high-ranking politicians, and the most influential figures across industries. Red carpets would roll out, cameras would flash, and speeches would echo through the grand hall like music from an orchestra.

The city, already buzzing with excitement, awaited the grand event.

"I can’t believe it," the young woman muttered as she stared at her phone, her hands trembling with excitement. "James… the same James who used to sleep in front of Mr. Kola’s grocery store? He’s the President of JP Enterprises now?"

Her name was Evelyn. Sharp-tongued, impatient, and fueled by bitter memories, she had known James during his hardest days on the streets days when survival meant fighting for leftovers and sleeping on cold sidewalks. To her, his rise wasn’t a success story to be admired. It was a jackpot she felt entitled to.

Storming into the JP Enterprises headquarters during working hours, Evelyn ignored the receptionist's polite inquiries and pushed her way toward the executive wing.

"I want to see James!" she shouted, causing heads to turn in the busy lobby. "I know he’s here. Tell him Evelyn from the street is here!"

Security was alerted immediately, but by then, Evelyn had already reached the waiting area outside the President’s office.

James, who was in a brief meeting with department heads, heard the commotion and stepped out with a composed expression. As soon as his eyes met Evelyn’s, something shifted. He recognized her instantly.

"Evelyn?" he said, frowning slightly. "What are you doing here?"

"Don’t act like you don’t know me, James," she snapped, crossing her arms. "You owe me. We suffered together. I was there when you were nothing. Now you’re swimming in wealth and you think you can forget the people who once mattered!"

James’s expression hardened.

"This is not the place for this kind of talk. You’re disrupting my company’s operations. If you need help, there are proper channels"

"To hell with proper channels!" she yelled. "I came to get what’s mine!"

That was enough. James turned to the nearby security officer. "Escort her out. And make sure she doesn’t return without a valid appointment."

The security guards moved quickly, but Evelyn didn’t go quietly. She shouted all the way to the exit, throwing insults, struggling, and drawing even more attention.

Among those who witnessed the scene was Tracy. At first, she thought it was just a random case of disturbance some unruly visitor trying to make trouble. But as she watched James’s calm yet stern expression, and the woman’s emotional outburst, something clicked in her cunning mind.

This is gold, she thought, quickly pulling out her phone and snapping a series of pictures from the hallway James arguing with a ragged woman, the woman being dragged out, and James watching in silence. What a perfect way to ruin his reputation.

Tracy, ever the opportunist, reviewed the photos and smirked.

This is it… this will shake him up.

Without hesitation, she sent the pictures to Helen and Mark, attaching a voice note.

"I’ve got something you’ll love. A woman, probably James’s sister from the street came begging for money at JP today. He humiliated her. The whole thing happened in front of staff. Check the photos attached. This could ruin him if we spin it well."

Within minutes, Helen replied: “Excellent. This might be the leverage we’ve been waiting for. Keep digging, Tracy. He can’t escape the past forever.”

Mark responded too, bitter laughter echoing in his voice note: “The mighty always fall. This is just the beginning.”

But what none of them knew was that James had already noticed Tracy's growing interest in him her subtle spying, her conveniently timed questions, and now this bold move to document his personal confrontation. He wasn’t going to act just yet… but he was watching.

โครงการ “Meat Free Monday” หรือ “จันทร์ไร้เนื้อ” เริ่มต้นในปี 2009 โดยพอล แมคคาร์ทนีย์และลูกสาวสองคนของเขา มีเป้าหมายในการลดการบริโภคเนื้อสัตว์เพื่อสุขภาพของมนุษย์และสุขภาพของโลกอย่างน้อยสัปดาห์ละหนึ่งวัน โดยอ้างถึงเหตุผลด้านสุขภาพและสโครงการ “Meat Free Monday” หรือ “จันทร์ไร้เนื้อ” เริ่มต้นในปี 2009 โดยพอล แมคคาร์ทนีย์และลูกสาวสองคนของเขา มีเป้าหมายในการลดการบริโภคเนื้อสัตว์เพื่อสุขภาพของมนุษย์และสุขภาพของโลกอย่างน้อยสัปดาห์ละหนึ่งวัน โดยอ้างถึงเหตุผลด้านสุขภาพและสิ่งแวดล้อม ​

https://youtu.be/ulVFWJqXNg0?si=eMs-CxtPE1kjljLD เซอร์พอล แมคคาร์ทนีย์ได้ผลิตภาพยนตร์สั้นเรื่อง "One Day a Week" เพื่อส่งเสริมโครงการ MFM โดยเน้นถึงผลกระทบของการบริโภคเนื้อสัตว์ต่อสิ่งแวดล้อมและสุขภาพของมนุษย์ ภาพยนตร์นี้มีการปรากฏตัวของบุคคลที่มีชื่อเสียง เช่น วูดี้ ฮาร์เรลสัน และเอ็มมา สโตน

MFM ได้รับการสนับสนุนจากโรงเรียนมากกว่า 3,000 แห่งในสหราชอาณาจักร รวมถึงหน่วยงานการศึกษาท้องถิ่น เช่น เอดินบะระและทราฟฟอร์ด โดยมีการจัดทำชุดข้อมูลสำหรับโรงเรียนเพื่อส่งเสริมให้นักเรียนมีสุขภาพดีขึ้นและเป็นพลเมืองที่มีความรับผิดชอบต่อโลก แนวคิดนี้ได้รับการสนับสนุนจากองค์กรต่าง ๆ เช่น ProVeg International ซึ่งมีบทบาทในการส่งเสริมอาหารจากพืชในโรงเรียนผ่านโครงการ “School Plates” โดยให้คำปรึกษาเกี่ยวกับเมนูอาหาร คำแนะนำด้านโภชนาการ และการฝึกอบรมการทำอาหารจากพืช ​รวมถึงมีการสนับสนุนจากหน่วยงานท้องถิ่นและองค์กรต่างๆ ทั่วโลก เช่น เมืองเกนต์ในเบลเยียมที่มีการจัดวันพฤหัสบดีปลอดเนื้อสัตว์อย่างเป็นทางการ และเมืองเซาเปาโลในบราซิลที่มีการสนับสนุนจากสมาคมมังสวิรัติของบราซิล

อย่างไรก็ตาม มีข้อกังวลเกี่ยวกับการแทรกแซงขององค์กรเหล่านี้ในระบบการศึกษา โดยเฉพาะในโรงเรียนระดับ K-12 ที่มีการนำเสนออาหารจากพืชในวันจันทร์ โดยอ้างถึงประโยชน์ด้านสุขภาพและสิ่งแวดล้อม ​การดำเนินการดังกล่าวอาจส่งผลต่อการรับรู้ของเด็ก ๆ เกี่ยวกับเนื้อสัตว์ และอาจนำไปสู่การเปลี่ยนแปลงพฤติกรรมการบริโภคในระยะยาว​

นอกจากนี้ ยังมีการวิพากษ์วิจารณ์เกี่ยวกับการใช้คำว่า “Meat Free” ซึ่งอาจสื่อถึงการขาดบางสิ่งบางอย่าง ProVeg UK แนะนำให้หลีกเลี่ยงการใช้คำนี้และใช้คำอื่นที่เน้นถึงความเป็นมิตรกับสิ่งแวดล้อมแทน ​

ในขณะที่การส่งเสริมการบริโภคอาหารจากพืชมีข้อดีในด้านสุขภาพและสิ่งแวดล้อม แต่การดำเนินการที่มีลักษณะเป็นการบังคับหรือแทรกแซงในระบบการศึกษาโดยไม่มีการให้ข้อมูลที่ครบถ้วนและเป็นกลาง อาจนำไปสู่การล้างสมองและการเปลี่ยนแปลงพฤติกรรมการบริโภคโดยไม่รู้ตัว​ ดังนั้น การส่งเสริมการบริโภคอาหารจากพืชควรเป็นไปอย่างโปร่งใส ให้ข้อมูลที่ครบถ้วน และเคารพสิทธิ์ในการเลือกของแต่ละบุคคล โดยเฉพาะในกลุ่มเด็กและเยาวชน

ProVeg UK ได้เสนอให้เปลี่ยนชื่อจาก “Meat-Free Monday” เป็น “Planet-Friendly Days” โดยให้เหตุผลว่าคำว่า “Meat-Free” อาจสื่อถึงการขาดบางสิ่งบางอย่าง และอาจทำให้ผู้บริโภคมองว่าเมนูดังกล่าวไม่น่าสนใจ การใช้คำว่า “Planet-Friendly” ช่วยเน้นถึงความเป็นมิตรกับสิ่งแวดล้อมและส่งเสริมการบริโภคอาหารจากพืชในแง่บวกมากขึ้น

นอกจากนี้ทาง ProVeg UK ดำเนินโครงการ “School Plates” เพื่อช่วยโรงเรียนในการปรับปรุงเมนูอาหารให้มีความยั่งยืนมากขึ้น โดยให้คำปรึกษาเกี่ยวกับเมนูอาหาร คำแนะนำด้านโภชนาการ และการฝึกอบรมการทำอาหารจากพืช นอกจากนี้ยังมีการจัดกิจกรรมเสริม เช่น การแข่งขันออกแบบโปสเตอร์และชั้นเรียนทำอาหารจากพืช เพื่อส่งเสริมการเรียนรู้เกี่ยวกับระบบอาหารและกระตุ้นให้เด็ก ๆ ลองชิมเมนูใหม่ ๆ

ในส่วนของ ProVeg International ก็ยังสนับสนุนโครงการระดับชาติ เช่น “National School Meals Week” ในปี 2020 โดยให้คำแนะนำแก่โรงเรียนในการจัดเมนูอาหารที่ลดการบริโภคเนื้อสัตว์ และเสนอให้ใช้คำที่เน้นถึงรสชาติหรือส่วนผสมหลักของเมนู เลี่ยงการใช้คำว่า “meat-free” หรือ “vegan” ซึ่งอาจมีผลกระทบต่อการเลือกเมนูของผู้บริโภค แล้วยังมีการส่งเสริมการบริโภคอาหารจากพืชผ่านกิจกรรมต่าง ๆ เช่น “Veggie Challenge” ซึ่งเป็นโปรแกรมออนไลน์ฟรีที่สอนการทำอาหารจากพืช พร้อมให้คำแนะนำและสูตรอาหารรายวัน เพื่อช่วยให้ผู้เข้าร่วมสามารถเปลี่ยนแปลงพฤติกรรมการบริโภคได้อย่างยั่งยืน

จากข้อมูลข้างต้น แสดงให้เห็นว่า ProVeg International มีบทบาทในการส่งเสริมการบริโภคอาหารจากพืชผ่านหลายช่องทาง โดยเฉพาะในระบบการศึกษาและโครงการอาหารโรงเรียน เพื่อสนับสนุนการเปลี่ยนแปลงพฤติกรรมการบริโภคในระยะยาว

คำถามคือ ทำไมต้องเริ่มจากโรงเรียน? ก็เพราะเด็กยังไม่รู้จัก “ฟังร่างกายตัวเอง” ยังเชื่อในสิ่งที่ครู พ่อแม่ หรือคนในทีวีบอก ถ้าเด็กถูกสอนว่า “เนื้อวัวทำลายโลก” และ “ไก่ หมู คือปีศาจ” เด็กคนนั้นจะโตมาโดยมอง “ของจริง” เป็นของแปลก และมอง “ของปลอม” เป็นพระเอก

วันนี้ห้ามกินเนื้อ พรุ่งนี้อาจห้ามพูดถึงเนื้อ และวันหนึ่ง...เขาอาจห้ามเราผลิตเนื้อจริงเลยก็ได้

อย่าเข้าใจผิดว่าเฮียต่อต้านผักนะ เฮียชอบผักที่ขึ้นเองตามธรรมชาติ แต่เฮียไม่ชอบ "ผักที่มากับนโยบาย" ไม่ชอบ "จานอาหารที่ถูกกำหนดด้วยวาระซ่อนเร้น"

Meat Free Monday อาจเป็นแค่หนึ่งวันในสัปดาห์ แต่ถ้าเราไม่ตั้งคำถาม มันอาจกลายเป็นชีวิตทั้งชีวิตที่ถูกออกแบบไว้ล่วงหน้า

ที่น่าสนใจอีกอย่างนึงคือ MFM เป็นองค์กรไม่แสวงหาผลกำไรที่ดำเนินการภายใต้การสนับสนุนของ Charities Aid Foundation (หมายเลขทะเบียนการกุศล 268369) อย่างไรก็ตาม "ไม่มีข้อมูลสาธารณะเกี่ยวกับจำนวนเงินทุนหรือแหล่งเงินทุนที่เฉพาะเจาะจงที่สนับสนุนโครงการนี้"

Intro

Maybe you saw an article in Forbes, a news segment about MicroStrategy (MSTR), or you glanced at the bitcoin price chart; whatever the spark, your curiosity led you here. Enough friends and relatives keep asking me about bitcoin that I finally organized my thoughts into a single reference. This is not a comprehensive guide—it assumes you trust me as a heuristic.

Important Terminology

Sat (satoshi) – the smallest unit of bitcoin. One bitcoin (₿) equals 100 000 000 sats.

Getting Started

Where do I buy bitcoin?

I use River because it publishes proof‑of‑reserves, supports the Lightning Network, and pays interest on idle USD balances (currently 3.8 %).

Okay, I bought some bitcoin-now what?

Withdraw it immediately. Centralized exchanges can and do fail. Your next step depends on how much bitcoin you hold.

If at any point you're struggling, please reach out to me.

Less than 0.01 BTC

1. On your phone open Safari (iOS) or Chrome (Android).
2. Paste https://wallet.cashu.me?mint=https://mint.westernbtc.com. Confirm the prompt that asks whether you trust https://mint.westernbtc.com. I run this mint so beginners can skip the gnarly parts.
3. Complete setup.
4. Tap Receive → LIGHTNING → enter amount → COPY.
5. In River choose Send → Send to a Bitcoin wallet, paste the invoice, verify, and send.
6. Return to the wallet; your sats should appear.

More than 0.01 BTC and less than 0.1 BTC

It's time for cold storage. Cold storage means a dedicated signing device not connected to the internet. Think of it like keys to a house. If you have the keys (your cold storage signing device), you can get into your house (the bitcoin). I recommend and use the COLDCARD Q or COLDCARD MK4 from COLDCARD. See this thorough walkthrough.

The creator nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 makes reliable content.

More than 0.1 BTC

The next security upgrade involves something called multisig. It requires the use of multiple devices instead of one. Think of those nuclear launch silos in movies where two keys need to be turned in order to launch the missile. One person can't reach both keys, so you need two people. Like the two keys needing to be turned, we need a certain number of keys (signing devices) to be used.

This offers a number of benefits. Say you have a 2-of-3 multisig setup. You would need two of the three keys to move the bitcoin. If you were to lose one, you could use the two others to move it instead. Many choose to geographically distribute the keys; choosing to keep one at a friend’s house or with a bank.

The previous video I linked covers multisig as well. Again, please reach out to me if you need help.

How Bitcoin Works

I'm going to paint a scene portraying the basics of how bitcoin works. Picture a race that's supposed to take 10 minutes to run start-to-finish, and there's a crowd of people spectating. When the fastest runner crosses the finish line, they're awarded 50 bitcoin. Everyone in the crowd recognizes who won, and writes it down on their own scoreboard. Then, the next race begins.

Now, let's say more racers who've had special training join. They start winning consistently because of it, and now the race only lasts about 9 minutes. There's a special rule everyone in the crowd agreed to, that they can make the race harder to ensure it's around 10 minutes long. So they make the race harder to counteract the faster runners.

With this in mind, let's get to the skepticism you might have.

Skepticism

Someone will hack it

Think of bitcoin as the people in the crowd. If someone tries to cheat and writes on their scoreboard that they have a billion bitcoin, their scoreboard is going to look different than everybody else’s. The other people in the crowd will cross-reference with each other and decide to ignore that person who cheated.

The government will try to stop it

Again, think of the crowd. In reality, the "crowd participants" are scattered all around the world. You might be able to stop many of them, but it would be almost impossible to stop everyone. Imagine people are watching the race on TV, can you find everyone who's spectating? Ironically, attempted bans often increase interest.

It’s not backed by anything.

Think of the runners. The runners are bitcoin miners. They have to expend real energy to participate in the race. The more bitcoin miners, the more secure the network. In summary, it's backed by electricity and work.

Conclusion

There are too many topics to cover in one article. I haven't even touched on the history of money, what money is, scarcity, etc. The best way to learn is to research the topics you're interested in for yourself. It took months of deep diving before I was sold on bitcoin, and I had many touch points before that.

Once you see it though, you can't unsee it.

Let’s start with the obvious: Bitcoin is metal because it’s loud, it’s aggressive, it’s uncompromising. It’s the musical equivalent of a power chord blasted through a wall of amps—a direct challenge to the establishment, to the fiat system, to the sanitized, soulless mainstream. Metal has always been about rebellion, about standing outside the norm and refusing to be tamed. Bitcoin, too, was born in the shadows, dismissed as the currency of outlaws and freaks, and it thrived there, fueled by the energy of those who refused to bow down

But Bitcoin isn’t just any metal. It’s progressive metal. 
Prog metal is the genre that takes metal’s aggression and fuses it with experimentation, complexity, and a relentless drive to push boundaries. It’s not satisfied with three chords and a chorus. Prog metal is about odd time signatures, intricate solos, unexpected detours, and stories that dig into philosophy, psychology, and the human condition. It’s music for those who want more than just noise—they want meaning, depth, and innovation.

That’s Bitcoin. Bitcoin isn’t just a blunt instrument of rebellion; it’s a living, evolving experiment. It’s code that’s open to anyone, a protocol that invites innovation, a system that’s constantly being pushed, prodded, and reimagined by its community.

Like prog metal, Bitcoin is for the thinkers, the tinkerers, the relentless questioners. It’s for those who see the flaws in the mainstream and dare to imagine something radically different. 


Both prog metal and Bitcoin are about freedom — freedom from the tyranny of the predictable, the safe, the centrally controlled. They are countercultures within countercultures, refusing to be boxed in by genre or by law. Both attract those who crave complexity, who aren’t afraid to get lost in the weeds, who want to build something new and beautiful from the chaos. 


If you want to reach the heart of Bitcoin’s counterculture, you don’t do it with bland, safe, mainstream pop. You do it with prog metal—with music that refuses to compromise, that demands your attention, that rewards those who dig deeper. Prog metal is the true voice of Bitcoin’s core: the plebs, the builders, the dreamers who refuse to accept the world as it is. 


Bitcoin is prog metal. It’s technical, it’s rebellious, it’s unafraid to be different. It’s music and money for those who want to break free—not just from the old systems, but from the old ways of thinking. And as the mainstream tries to water down both, the true counterculture survives at the core, pushing boundaries, making noise, and refusing to die.

BTC Your Mind. Let it Beat.... Şela

@ 7e538978:a5987ab6

Across Switzerland, customers at SPAR supermarkets are now able to pay for their groceries using Lightning on Bitcoin — a step towards everyday Bitcoin adoption. This rollout was led by DFX, a Bitcoin services company focused on onboarding businesses and individuals to Bitcoin. Behind the scenes LNbits plays a key role.

## Lightning at the Checkout

SPAR’s approach is simple: at the till, customers can scan a static QR code to pay in Bitcoin using the Lightning Network. Each checkout in each participating store has its own unique LNURL address — a reusable QR code designed for fast, low-friction Lightning payments.

To manage these LNURLs, DFX leverages LNbits. Using the LNbits Pay Links extension, DFX generates LNURLs for each till across the network of participating SPAR locations. The result is a robust, reliable setup that works at scale. Store staff do not interact with LNbits directly — instead, DFX manages the backend, ensuring each till has a dedicated LNURL without operational overhead for SPAR employees.

At SPAR we use static QR codes that meet the LNURL standard. Therefore we use LNbits. Each checkout has its own personal LNURL address which we generate with LNbits.

— Cyrill Thommen, CEO of DFX.Swiss— Cyrill Thommen, CEO of DFX.Swiss

## LNbits in Action

LNbits provided DFX with a modular, open-source solution that allows them to build only what they need, without locking into a rigid platform. For instance, DFX built custom monitoring around payment events using the LNbits API, while keeping full control over wallet infrastructure.

The ability to generate and manage LNURLs through the LNbits API, while layering additional monitoring and business logic on top, made LNbits a practical choice.

DFX’s setup highlights how open source software, Bitcoin and purpose-built tools can underpin enterprise-grade deployments. The system works reliably — without introducing friction for customers or staff.

Bitcoin in the Real World

Switzerland is already one of Europe’s most Bitcoin-friendly environments, with over 1,000 businesses accepting Bitcoin. But SPAR’s implementation is noteworthy for its scale and practicality: everyday purchases, completed with Bitcoin, at a national supermarket chain.

LNbits' flexible architecture, API-first design, and plug-in system make it well suited to precisely this kind of adoption.

As more retailers explore Lightning integration, SPAR’s rollout sets a precedent — showing how modular, open-source tools like LNbits can bring Bitcoin into daily life, seamlessly.

A monthly newsletter by The 256 Foundation

May 2025

Introduction:

Welcome to the fifth newsletter produced by The 256 Foundation! April was a jam-packed month for the Foundation with events ranging from launching three grant projects to the first official Ember One release. The 256 Foundation has been laser focused on our mission to dismantle the proprietary mining empire, signing off on a productive month with the one-finger salute to the incumbent mining cartel.

[IMG-001] Hilarious meme from @CincoDoggos

News:

April 7: the first of a few notable news items that relate to the Samourai Wallet case, the US Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, issued a memorandum titled “Ending Regulation By Prosecution”. The memo makes the DOJ’s position on the matter crystal clear, stating; “Specifically, the Department will no longer target virtual currency exchanges, mixing and tumbling services, and offline wallets for the acts of their end users or unwitting violations of regulations…”. However, despite the clarity from the DOJ, the SDNY (sometimes referred to as the “Sovereign District” for it’s history of acting independently of the DOJ) has yet to budge on dropping the charges against the Samourai Wallet developers. Many are baffled at the SDNY’s continued defiance of the Trump Administration’s directives, especially in light of the recent suspensions and resignations that swept through the SDNY office in the wake of several attorneys refusing to comply with the DOJ’s directive to drop the charges against New York City Mayor, Eric Adams. There is speculation that the missing piece was Trump’s pick to take the helm at the SDNY, Jay Clayton, who was yet to receive his Senate confirmation and didn’t officially start in his new role until April 22. In light of the Blanche Memo, on April 29, the prosecution and defense jointly filed a letter requesting additional time for the prosecution to determine it’s position on the matter and decide if they are going to do the right thing, comply with the DOJ, and drop the charges. Catch up on what’s at stake in this case with an appearance by Diverter on the Unbounded Podcast from April 24, the one-year anniversary of the Samourai Wallet developer’s arrest. This is the most important case facing Bitcoiners as the precedence set in this matter will have ripple effects that touch all areas of the ecosystem. The logic used by SDNY prosecutors argues that non-custodial wallet developers transfer money in the same way a frying pan transfers heat but does not “control” the heat. Essentially saying that facilitating the transfer of funds on behalf of the public by any means constitutes money transmission and thus requires a money transmitter license. All non-custodial wallets (software or hardware), node operators, and even miners would fall neatly into these dangerously generalized and vague definitions. If the SDNY wins this case, all Bitcoiners lose. Make a contribution to the defense fund here.

April 11: solo miner with ~230Th/s solves Block #891952 on Solo CK Pool, bagging 3.11 BTC in the process. This will never not be exciting to see a regular person with a modest amount of hashrate risk it all and reap all the mining reward. The more solo miners there are out there, the more often this should occur.

April 15: B10C publishes new article on mining centralization. The article analyzes the hashrate share of the currently five biggest pools and presents a Mining Centralization Index. The results demonstrate that only six pools are mining more than 95% of the blocks on the Bitcoin Network. The article goes on to explain that during the period between 2019 and 2022, the top two pools had ~35% of the network hashrate and the top six pools had ~75%. By December 2023 those numbers grew to the top two pools having 55% of the network hashrate and the top six having ~90%. Currently, the top six pools are mining ~95% of the blocks.

[IMG-002] Mining Centralization Index by @0xB10C

B10C concludes the article with a solution that is worth highlighting: “More individuals home-mining with small miners help too, however, the home-mining hashrate is currently still negligible compared to the industrial hashrate.”

April 15: As if miner centralization and proprietary hardware weren’t reason enough to focus on open-source mining solutions, leave it to Bitmain to release an S21+ firmware update that blocks connections to OCEAN and Braiins pools. This is the latest known sketchy development from Bitmain following years of shady behavior like Antbleed where miners would phone home, Covert ASIC Boost where miners could use a cryptographic trick to increase efficiency, the infamous Fork Wars, mining empty blocks, and removing the SD card slots. For a mining business to build it’s entire operation on a fragile foundation like the closed and proprietary Bitmain hardware is asking for trouble. Bitcoin miners need to remain flexible and agile and they need to be able to adapt to changes instantly – the sort of freedoms that only open-source Bitcoin mining solutions are bringing to the table.

Free & Open Mining Industry Developments:

The development will not stop until Bitcoin mining is free and open… and then it will get even better. Innovators did not disappoint in April, here are nine note-worthy events:

April 5: 256 Foundation officially launches three more grant projects. These will be covered in detail in the Grant Project Updates section but April 5 was a symbolic day to mark the official start because of the 6102 anniversary. A reminder of the asymmetric advantage freedom tech like Bitcoin empowers individuals with to protect their rights and freedoms, with open-source development being central to those ends.

April 5: Low profile ICE Tower+ for the Bitaxe Gamma 601 introduced by @Pleb_Style featuring four heat pipes, 2 copper shims, and a 60mm Noctua fan resulting in up to 2Th/s. European customers can pick up the complete upgrade kit from the Pleb Style online store for $93.00.

IMG-003] Pleb Style ICE Tower+ upgrade kit

April 8: Solo Satoshi spells out issues with Bitaxe knockoffs, like Lucky Miner, in a detailed article titled The Hidden Cost of Bitaxe Clones. This concept can be confusing for some people initially, Bitaxe is open-source, right? So anyone can do whatever they want… right? Based on the specific open-source license of the Bitaxe hardware, CERN-OHL-S, and the firmware, GPLv3, derivative works are supposed to make the source available. Respecting the license creates a feed back loop where those who benefit from the open-source work of those who came before them contribute back their own modifications and source files to the open-source community so that others can benefit from the new developments. Unfortunately, when the license is disrespected what ends up happening is that manufacturers make undocumented changes to the components in the hardware and firmware which yields unexpected results creating a number of issues like the Bitaxe overheating, not connecting to WiFi, or flat out failure. This issue gets further compounded when the people who purchased the knockoffs go to a community support forum, like OSMU, for help. There, a number of people rack their brains and spend their valuable time trying to replicate the issues only to find out that they cannot replicate the issues since the person who purchased the knockoff has something different than the known Bitaxe model and the distributor who sold the knockoff did not document those changes. The open-source licenses are maintaining the end-users’ freedom to do what they want but if the license is disrespected then that freedom vanishes along with details about whatever was changed. There is a list maintained on the Bitaxe website of legitimate distributors who uphold the open-source licenses, if you want to buy a Bitaxe, use this list to ensure the open-source community is being supported instead of leeched off of.

April 8: The Mempool Open Source Project v3.2.0 launches with a number of highlights including a new UTXO bubble chart, address poisoning detection, and a tx/PSBT preview feature. The GitHub repo can be found here if you want to self-host an instance from your own node or you can access the website here. The Mempool Open Source Project is a great blockchain explorer with a rich feature set and helpful visualization tools.

[IMG-004] Address poisoning example

April 8: @k1ix publishes bitaxe-raw, a firmware for the ESP32S3 found on Bitaxes which enables the user to send and receive raw bytes over USB serial to and from the Bitaxe. This is a helpful tool for research and development and a tool that is being leveraged at The 256 Foundation for helping with the Mujina miner firmware development. The bitaxe-raw GitHub repo can be found here.

April 14: Rev.Hodl compiles many of his homestead-meets-mining adaptations including how he cooks meat sous-vide style, heats his tap water to 150°F, runs a hashing space heater, and how he upgraded his clothes dryer to use Bitcoin miners. If you are interested in seeing some creative and resourceful home mining integrations, look no further. The fact that Rev.Hodl was able to do all this with closed-source proprietary Bitcoin mining hardware makes a very bullish case for the innovations coming down the pike once the hardware and firmware are open-source and people can gain full control over their mining appliances.

April 21: Hashpool explained on The Home Mining Podcast, an innovative Bitcoin mining pool development that trades mining shares for ecash tokens. The pool issues an “ehash” token for every submitted share, the pool uses ecash epochs to approximate the age of those shares in a FIFO order as they accrue value, a rotating key set is used to eventually expire them, and finally the pool publishes verification proofs for each epoch and each solved block. The ehash is provably not inflatable and payouts are similar to the PPLNS model. In addition to the maturity window where ehash tokens are accruing value, there is also a redemption window where the ehash tokens can be traded in to the mint for bitcoin. There is also a bitcoin++ presentation from earlier this year where @vnprc explains the architecture.

April 26: Boerst adds a new page on stratum.work for block template details, you can click on any mining pool and see the extended details and visualization of their current block template. Updates happen in real-time. The page displays all available template data including the OP_RETURN field and if the pool is merge mining, like with RSK, then that will be displayed too. Stratum dot work is a great project that offers helpful mining insights, be sure to book mark it if you haven’t already.

[IMG-005] New stratum.work live template page

April 27: Public Pool patches Nerdminer exploit that made it possible to create the impression that a user’s Nerdminer was hashing many times more than it actually was. This exploit was used by scammers trying to convince people that they had a special firmware for the Nerminer that would make it hash much better. In actuality, Public Pool just wasn’t checking to see if submitted shares were duplicates or not. The scammers would just tweak the Nerdminer firmware so that valid shares were getting submitted five times, creating the impression that the miner was hashing at five times the actual hashrate. Thankfully this has been uncovered by the open-source community and Public Pool quickly addressed it on their end.

Grant Project Updates:

Three grant projects were launched on April 5, Mujina Mining Firmware, Hydra Pool, and Libre Board. Ember One was the first fully funded grant and launched in November 2024 for a six month duration.

Ember One:

@skot9000 is the lead engineer on the Ember One and April 30 marked the conclusion of the first grant cycle after six months of development culminating in a standardized hashboard featuring a ~100W power consumption, 12-24v input voltage range, USB-C data communication, on-board temperature sensors, and a 125mm x 125mm formfactor. There are several Ember One versions on the road map, each with a different kind of ASIC chip but staying true to the standardized features listed above. The first Ember One, the 00 version, was built with the Bitmain BM1362 ASIC chips. The first official release of the Ember One, v3, is available here. v4 is already being worked on and will incorporate a few circuit safety mechanisms that are pretty exciting, like protecting the ASIC chips in the event of a power supply failure. The firmware for the USB adaptor is available here. Initial testing firmware for the Ember One 00 can be found here and full firmware support will be coming soon with Mujina. The Ember One does not have an on-board controller so a separate, USB connected, control board is required. Control board support is coming soon with the Libre Board. There is an in-depth schematic review that was recorded with Skot and Ryan, the lead developer for Mujina, you can see that video here. Timing for starting the second Ember One cycle is to be determined but the next version of the Ember One is planned to have the Intel BZM2 ASICs. Learn more at emberone.org

Mujina Mining Firmware:

@ryankuester is the lead developer for the Mujina firmware project and since the project launched on April 5, he has been working diligently to build this firmware from scratch in Rust. By using the bitaxe-raw firmware mentioned above, over the last month Ryan has been able to use a Bitaxe to simulate an Ember One so that he can start building the necessary interfaces to communicate with the range of sensors, ASICs, work handling, and API requests that will be necessary. For example, using a logic analyzer, this is what the first signs of life look like when communicating with an ASIC chip, the orange trace is a message being sent to the ASIC and the red trace below it is the ASIC responding [IMG-006]. The next step is to see if work can be sent to the ASIC and results returned. The GitHub repo for Mujina is currently set to private until a solid foundation has been built. Learn more at mujina.org

[IMG-006] First signs of life from an ASIC

Libre Board:

@Schnitzel is the lead engineer for the Libre Board project and over the last month has been modifying the Raspberry Pi Compute Module I/O Board open-source design to fit the requirements for this project. For example, removing one of the two HDMI ports, adding the 40-pin header, and adapting the voltage regulator circuit so that it can accept the same 12-24vdc range as the Ember One hashboards. The GitHub repo can be found here, although there isn’t much to look at yet as the designs are still in the works. If you have feature requests, creating an issue in the GitHub repo would be a good place to start. Learn more at libreboard.org

Hydra Pool:

@jungly is the lead developer for Hydra Pool and over the last month he has developed a working early version of Hydra Pool specifically for the upcoming Telehash #2. Forked from CK Pool, this early version has been modified so that the payout goes to the 256 Foundation bitcoin address automatically. This way, users who are supporting the funderaiser with their hashrate do not need to copy/paste in the bitcoin address, they can just use any vanity username they want. Jungly was also able to get a great looking statistics dashboard forked from CKstats and modify it so that the data is populated from the Hydra Pool server instead of website crawling. After the Telehash, the next steps will be setting up deployment scripts for running Hydra Pool on a cloud server, support for storing shares in a database, and adding PPLNS support. The 256 Foundation is only running a publicly accessible server for the Telehash and the long term goals for Hydra Pool are that the users host their own instance. The 256 Foundation has no plans on becoming a mining pool operator. The following Actionable Advice column shows you how you can help test Hydra Pool. The GitHub repo for Hydra Pool can be found here. Learn more at hydrapool.org

Actionable Advice:

The 256 Foundation is looking for testers to help try out Hydra Pool. The current instance is on a hosted bare metal server in Florida and features 64 cores and 128 GB of RAM. One tester in Europe shared that they were only experiencing ~70ms of latency which is good. If you want to help test Hydra Pool out and give any feedback, you can follow the directions below and join The 256 Foundation public forum on Telegram here.

The first step is to configure your miner so that it is pointed to the Hydra Pool server. This can look different depending on your specific miner but generally speaking, from the settings page you can add the following URL:

stratum+tcp://stratum.hydrapool.org:3333

On some miners, you don’t need the “stratum+tcp://” part or the port, “:3333”, in the URL dialog box and there may be separate dialog boxes for the port.

Use any vanity username you want, no need to add a BTC address. The test iteration of Hydra Pool is configured to payout to the 256 Foundation BTC address.

If your miner has a password field, you can just put “x” or “1234”, it doesn’t matter and this field is ignored.

Then save your changes and restart your miner. Here are two examples of what this can look like using a Futurebit Apollo and a Bitaxe:

[IMG-007] Apollo configured to Hydra Pool

[IMG-008] Bitaxe Configured to Hydra Pool

Once you get started, be sure to check stats.hydrapool.org to monitor the solo pool statistics.

[IMG-009] Ember One hashing to Hydra Pool

At the last Telehash there were over 350 entities pointing as much as 1.12Eh/s at the fundraiser at the peak. At the time the block was found there was closer to 800 Ph/s of hashrate. At this next Telehash, The 256 Foundation is looking to beat the previous records across the board. You can find all the Telehash details on the Meetup page here.

State of the Network:

Hashrate on the 14-day MA according to mempool.space increased from ~826 Eh/s to a peak of ~907 Eh/s on April 16 before cooling off and finishing the month at ~841 Eh/s, marking ~1.8% growth for the month.

[IMG-010] 2025 hashrate/difficulty chart from mempool.space

Difficulty was 113.76T at it’s lowest in April and 123.23T at it’s highest, which is a 8.3% increase for the month. But difficulty dropped with Epoch #444 just after the end of the month on May 3 bringing a -3.3% downward adjustment. All together for 2025 up to Epoch #444, difficulty has gone up ~8.5%.

According to the Hashrate Index, ASIC prices have flat-lined over the last month. The 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. You can expect to pay roughly $4,000 for a new-gen miner with 230+ Th/s.

[IMG-011] Miner Prices from Luxor’s Hashrate Index

Hashvalue over the month of April dropped from ~56,000 sats/Ph per day to ~52,000 sats/Ph per day, according to the new and improved Braiins Insights dashboard [IMG-012]. Hashprice started out at $46.00/Ph per day at the beginning of April and climbed to $49.00/Ph per day by the end of the month.

[IMG-012] Hashprice/Hashvalue from Braiins Insights

The next halving will occur at block height 1,050,000 which should be in roughly 1,063 days or in other words ~154,650 blocks from time of publishing this newsletter.

โรงบ่มฯนั้น ประกอบด้วย 👨🏻‍⚕️พี่หมอป๊อบ DietDoctor Thailand ที่เรารู้จักกันดี อาจารย์ของพวกเรา 🏋🏻‍♀️ 🏅พี่หนึ่ง จาก หนึ่งคีโตแด๊ดดี้ มาเป็น Nueng The One ผมอุปโลกให้ก่อนเลยว่า คนไทยคนแรกที่ทำเนื้อหาการกินคีโต เป็นภาษาไทย แบบมีบันทึกสาธารณะให้ตามศึกษา 👨🏻‍⚕️หมอเอก หมออ้วนในดงลดน้ำหนัก กับหลักการใช้ชีวิตแบบ IFF สาย Fasting ที่ย้ำว่าหัวใจอีกห้องของ Fasting คือ Feeding กระดุมเม็ดแรกของการฟาส ที่คนมักลืม 🧘🏻‍♀️ครูบอม เทพโยคะอีกท่านนึงของไทย กับศาสตร์โยคะ Anusara Yoga หนึ่งเดียวในไทย 🧗‍♂️โค้ชแมท สารานุกรมสุขภาพที่มีชีวิต นิ่งแต่คมกริบ ถ้าเป็นเกมส์ก็สาย สไนเปอร์ ยิงน้อยแต่ Head Shot 🧔🏻แอ๊ดหนวด ฉายา Salt Daddy เจ้าแห่งเกลือแร่ ประจำกลุ่ม IF-Mix Fasting Diet Thailand (Keto # Low Carb # Plant Base # High Fat) 👭👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏼👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏼 รวมถึงทีมงาน กัลยาณมิตรสุขภาพ ที่มีความรู้ในด้านสุขภาพและมากประสบการณ์ 🧑🏻‍🍳 ผมและตำรับเอ๋เองก็ยินดีมากๆที่ได้ร่วมทีมสุขภาพนี้กับเขาด้วย

จะเห็นได้ว่า แต่ละท่านในโรงบ่มฯ นั้นหล่อหลอมมาจากความต่างเสียด้วยซ้ำไป ตั้งแต่เริ่มก่อร่างโรงบ่ม เราก็ตั้งไว้แล้วว่า ชีวะ ควรมีความหลากหลาย การวางพื้นฐานสุขภาพควรมาจาก "แต่ละคน" ไม่ใช่ one size fit all บันทึกกิจกรรมโรงบ่มผมมีโพสไว้ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19DUibHrbw/

นั่นเป็นเหตุผลที่ผมเกิดแรงบันดาลใจในการทำเพลง "บ่ม" ขึ้นมาเพื่อเป็น Theme Song ครับ แก่นของเพลงนี้มีไม่กี่อย่างครับ ผมเริ่มคิดจากคำว่า "ความต่าง" เพราะไม่ว่าจะกี่ปีกี่ชาติ วงการสุขภาพ ก็จะมีแนวความคิดประเภท ฉันถูกเธอผิด อยู่ตลอดเวลาเพราะมันเป็นธรรมชาติมนุษย์ครับ มนุษย์เราทุกคนมีอีโก้ การยอมรับในความต่าง การหลอมรวมความต่าง ผมคิดว่ามันเป็นการ "บ่ม" ให้สุกงอมได้

เวลาที่เนื้อหาแบบนี้ ผมก็อดคิดถึงวงที่ผมรักเสมอไม่ได้เลย นั่นคือ เฉลียง แม้ความสามารถจะห่างไกลกันลิบลับ แต่ผมก็อยากทำสไตล์เฉลียงกับเขาบ้างครั้งหนึ่งหรือหลายๆครั้งในชีวิต จึงเลือกแนวเพลงออกมาทาง แจ๊ส สวิง มีเครื่องเป่า คาริเนต เป็นตัวเด่น

ท่อนแรกของเพลงจึงเริ่มด้วย "ต่างทั้งความคิด ต่างทั้งความฝัน ต่างเผ่าต่างพันธุ์ จะต่างกันแค่ไหน หนึ่งเมล็ด จากหลากผล แต่ละคน ก็ปนไป แล้วเพราะเหตุใด ใยต้องไปแค่ทางเดียว" เพื่อปูให้คนฟังเริ่มเปิดรับว่า สิ่งที่ต้องการจะสื่อต่อไปคืออะไร

ส่วนคำย้ำนั้นผมแตกมาจาก คำสอนของพระพุทธเจ้า เกี่ยวกับ "คิดเห็นเป็นไป" ซึ่งจริงๆผมเขียนไว้ในโพสนึงแต่ตอนนั้นยังไม่ได้ทำคอลัมน์ #ตัวหนังสือมีเสียง ขอไม่เขียนซ้ำ อ่านได้ที่นี่ครับ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18tFCFaRLn/ ท่อนที่ว่าจึงเขียนไว้ว่า "บ่มบ่ม... บ่มให้คิด บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้เห็น บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้เป็น บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้ไป ไปเป็น ตัวของตัวเอง" ใช้ความซน สไตล์ rock&roll ผสมแจ๊สนิด ที่เขามักเล่นร้องโต้กับคอรัส นึกถึงยุคทีวีขาวดำ 5555

เนื้อร้องท่อนนี้ เป็นการบอกว่า โรงบ่มคืออะไรทำอะไร เพราะโรงบ่ม เราไม่ได้รักษา เราไม่ได้บังคับไดเอทว่าต้องใช้อะไร เราเปิดตาให้มอง เปิดหูให้ฟัง เปิดปากให้ถาม ถึงธรรมชาติในตัวเรา แล้วบ่มออกไปให้เบ่งบานในเส้นทางของแต่ละคนครับ

แล้วผมก็พยายามอีกครั้งที่จะสื่อถึงการยอมรับความต่าง ให้ติดหูเอาไว้ โดยเฉพาะคำที่ผมพูดบ่อยมากๆ "ชีวะ คือชีวิต" จนมาเป็นท่อน bridge นี้ครับ "อะไรที่ไม่คล้าย นั้นใช่ไม่ดี เพราะชีวะ ก็คือชีวี บ่มให้ดี จะมีความงาม ตามที่ควรเห็น ตามที่ควรเป็น"

เพลงนี้สามารถฟังตัวเต็มได้ทุกแพลทฟอร์มเพลงทั้ง youtube music, spotify, apple music, แผ่นเสียง tiktok ⌨️ แค่ค้นชื่อ "Heretong Teera Siri" ครับ

📀เนื้อเพลง "บ่ม"📀 song by : HereTong Teera Siri ต่างทั้งความคิด ต่างทั้งความฝัน ต่างเผ่าต่างพันธุ์ จะต่างกันแค่ไหน

หนึ่งเมล็ด จากหลากผล แต่ละคน ก็ปนไป แล้วเพราะเหตุใด ใยต้องไปแค่ทางเดียว

บ่มบ่ม... บ่มให้คิด บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้เห็น บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้เป็น บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้ไป ไปเป็น ตัวของตัวเอง

ต่างทั้งลองลิ้ม ต่างทั้งรับรู้ ต่างที่มุมดู ก็ถมไป หนึ่งชีวิต มีความหมาย ที่หลากหลาย ไม่คล้ายกัน แล้วเพราะเหตุใด ใยต้องเป็นเช่นทุกคน

บ่มบ่ม... บ่มให้คิด บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้เห็น บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้เป็น บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้ไป ไปตาม ทางที่เลือกเดิน

เพราะชีวิต คือความหลากหลาย เพราะโลกนี้ ไม่เคยห่างหาย อะไรที่ไม่คล้าย นั้นใช่ไม่ดี เพราะชีวะ ก็คือชีวี บ่มให้ดี จะมีความงาม ตามที่ควรเห็น ตามที่ควรเป็น

บ่มบ่ม... บ่มให้คิด บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้เห็น บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้เป็น บ่มบ่ม...บ่มให้ไป ไปตาม ทางที่เลือกเดิน

เพราะชีวะ ก็คือชีวี บ่มให้ดี จะมีความงาม ตามที่ควรเห็น ตามที่ควรเป็น บ่มให้เธอชื่น บ่มให้เธอชม ชีวิตรื่นรมย์ ได้สมใจ บ่มให้ยั่งยืน
