2025-05-10 19:15:50ð§ Quote(s) of the week:
'Bitcoin is a high-IQ, low-time-preference asset in a world addicted to DoorDash, dopamine, and debt. Holding Bitcoin requires patience, conviction, and the ability to not panic when CNBC tells you itâs dead for the 47th time. That rules out, oh, I donât know - 95% of the population? This isnât some egalitarian revolution. This is a cognitive filter disguised as a monetary network. The rich, the strategic, the elite - those who understand volatility as an opportunity - will stack the hardest asset on Earth while the masses beg for interest rate cuts and $600 stimmies to buy groceries they can't afford.
It's not a level playing field. It's a time-preference war, and Bitcoin is the scoreboard. And every cycle, we watch it happen again. The media ridicules it, the politicians fear it, and the smart money buys more. While fiat punishes savers and rewards financial nihilism, Bitcoin inverts the whole structure. Itâs a vault for those who can delay gratification, think generationally, and understand that true wealth is preserved rather than printed. The game isnât rigged. Itâs just calibrated for adults.' - Adam Livingston
'Bitcoin is an extremely simple thesis. If you think governments will stop debasing and debanking: number go down. If you think they wonât stop debasing and debanking: number go up'- Alex Gladstein

In fact, 2024 saw a 1% year-over-year increase, setting an all-time high in gold output (World Gold Council). So why do so many still believe the outdated narrative that gold is becoming harder to find? The truth is: gold is effectively unlimited in supplyâwe just get better at digging it up.

On the 2nd of May:
âĄïļ Regarding the whole OP_Return debate.
Grok: ++Key Points: ++ * The OP_RETURN debate in Bitcoin centers on whether its blockchain should store data beyond financial transactions, with ongoing controversy. * It began in 2010 with concerns about blockchain bloat, intensified in 2014 with the "OP_Return Wars," and continues today. * Research suggests the debate reflects a balance between Bitcoin's monetary purpose and potential for broader applications like Dapps. * Compromises, like setting a 40-byte limit in 2014, aimed to address concerns but didn't fully resolve tensions, influencing platforms like Ethereum.
++Background++ OP_RETURN is a Bitcoin script opcode allowing small data storage in transactions, useful for timestamping or Dapps, but raising concerns about blockchain bloat.
++Historical Context++
The debate started in 2010 with the BitDNS proposal, where Satoshi Nakamoto worried about scalability, leading to Namecoin. It peaked in 2014 with Counterparty's use, leading to a 40-byte limit compromise, later adjusted to 83 bytes by 2016.
++Recent Developments++ By 2018-2019, high OP_RETURN usage (20% of transactions) sparked fee debates, but usage has since declined, though data remains, with recent 2023 controversies over size limits.
If you are interested in Bitcoin, then you should check out the following video.
Great video from @GrassFedBitcoin explaining the current OP_RETURN situation. The choice isnât between bloating the UTXO set or increasing OP_RETURN, itâs whether we normalize spam or we reject it. Is Bitcoin for data storage or financial transactions? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15biQH1H140 Every Bitcoiner needs to see this! Vires in Numeris.
A great counterargument by Seth for Privacy:

Personally, I tend to agree with Seth.
To sum it up:
If you are running a node, you should switch from Core to Knots immediately. It's very straightforward, and you don't need to redo the initial block download.
If you arent running a node you are a leech and need to get your shit together.
âĄïļTether CEO defends skipping MiCA, calling EU stablecoin rules âvery dangerous.â Ardoino: âThe European Central Bank is more interested in pushing the digital euro to control people and how they spend their money.â
On the 3rd of May:
âĄïļArizona Governor Katie Hobbs has vetoed the stateâs Strategic Bitcoin Reserve legislation after it was passed by the House and Senate. She states: âArizonansâ retirement funds are not the place for the state to try untested investments like virtual currency.â
Apparently, the Arizona State Retirement System already holds 53,097 shares of MSTR. You canât make this shit up.
âĄïļVitalik Buterin: 'One of the best things about Bitcoin is how simple it is. This simplicity has lots of benefits. Let's bring those benefits to Ethereum.' Almost like Bitcoin is eh......(checks notes)......better tech. Just use Bitcoin, dumbfuck! 'It's only taken a decade, but Ethereum's creator is having an inkling that he never should have created Ethereum, which destroyed billions of precious capital and instead focused on Bitcoin.' - Vijay Boyapati

Oh, and remember, the EU can't ban what it has no control over: hold your own private keys.

@ c066aac5:6a41a034
2025-05-10 14:55:46This is an article I wrote which originally appeared in the Pamphleteer, a publication run by a friend in Nashville. It has been edited from the published version, which I will link here for everyone to go check out the website and subscribe.
Step back fifty years in time with me if you will. A simpler time. You wake up in the house you could afford on a single income. Instead of blinding yourself with the light of your cell phone first thing in the morning, you wake up to make breakfast and coffee, your mind unencumbered by the stimulus of a thousand notifications. You canât doom scroll (nor can you conceptualize what that even means).
You breathe in the moment, smelling your coffee with a deliberate, meditative inhaleâĶ As this brief moment of Nirvana passes, you decide to pick up the newspaper. You turn to page nine and see that Andy Kaufman, a comedian/performance artist youâve seen on Taxi and Saturday Night Live, has declared himself âThe Inter-Gender Wrestling Champion of the World.â
You are tempted to think this may be a joke, but suddenly you remember that you stepped back in time from the 21st century. Youâre a modern person with evolved values. You ask yourself: is this an elaborate bit from Andy Kaufman, or was he simply ahead of his time? After all, youâre from the modern world where Imane Khelif is celebrated for his stunning and brave foray into womenâs boxing (and where strangely, most news sources seem to deny that heâs a man).
All of a sudden, you abandon the bigotry of the past and invite Kaufman to come back with you to our present-day society. As you return to social media, endless notifications, a world full of stimulus, you ponder if Andyâs wrestling foray will be accepted for the beautiful thing that it is, rather than taken, without scrutiny, as a joke.
Exiting my narrative device now to speak to you directly: in the not-too-distant past, Andy Kaufman stepped into the ring and goaded women to wrestle with him. Back then, it was a bit. If such an act were to be replicated today, it would likely be celebrated and defended.
Inter-Gender sports pioneering aside, Kaufman's antics made Tennessee history; wrestling legend Jerry Lawler of Memphis went into the ring with Kaufman to relieve a female contestant and treated him to a Tennessee takedown.
Jerry invited the comedian to bring his act to Memphis. Leading up to the match, Kaufman relentlessly mocked his Southern audience, with jokes flexing his intelligence as "someone from Hollywood" and teaching Tennesseans how to use soap. After challenging a few women to wrestle, he was met with a famous Jerry Lawler Pilediver. This led to a staged feud between the two of them. The pair even reached the Letterman Show, with Kaufman in a neck brace.
As far as I know, Kaufman never identified as a woman. I donât think he (or others from this period) could have fathomed the trans-sports drama occurring now. That said, there is something to be learned from his elaborate inter-gender wrestling bit: weâre watching the absurd unfold on the public stage. We should refuse to be gaslit and adopt Andyâs terminology and call this what it is: inter-gender sports. Whenever a biological man competes against a woman in any sporting event, we should all insist on letting everyone know that it is officially an inter-gender competition.
Maybe this modern dilemma could be solved if everyone surrounding these events treated the whole thing for what it was: an elaborate joke. Imagine if we treated it like WWE. The whole audience already knows itâs rigged anyway. Such rules of engagement would leave true biological womenâs sports alone; it would keep their pride intact and be an assurance of physical protection.
That's the end of my original article. Just for fun, I wanted to add a response comment from my sister-in-law. She read the article and shared her thoughts with me, so I figured why not include them here.
I honestly believe mixed sports should be something that is encouraged more in our societyânot because we should ignore biological differences and risks, especially in high-impact sports, but because normalizing this collaboration despite our different skill sets can strengthen womenâs inclusivity not only as athletes, but in society as a whole. When I played mixed doubles in tennis and joined coed volleyball teams, I was pushed to improve and often held my own, even when the guys hit harder. And there are many sports like shooting, equestrian, archery, ect... that have nothing to do with âphysical strengthâ. Training alongside men, whether in tennis, boxing, or volleyball, never has diminished my abilityâit sharpened it, and that kind of mutual growth reflects a deeper value of inclusivity and respect that extends far beyond the sport. Thats my take! :)

2025-05-10 09:50:45Information ohne Reflexion ist geistiger Flugsand. \ Ernst Reinhardt
Der lateinische Ausdruck ÂŦQuo vadisÂŧ als Frage nach einer Entwicklung oder Ausrichtung hat biblische Wurzeln. Er wird aber auch in unserer Alltagssprache verwendet, laut Duden meist als Ausdruck von Besorgnis oder Skepsis im Sinne von: ÂŦWohin wird das fÞhren?Âŧ
Der Sinn und Zweck von so mancher politischen Entscheidung erschlieÃt sich heutzutage nicht mehr so leicht, und viele Trends kÃķnnen uns Sorge bereiten. Das sind einerseits sehr konkrete Themen wie die zunehmende Militarisierung und die geschichtsvergessene Kriegstreiberei in Europa, deren Feindbildpflege aktuell beim Gedenken an das Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs beschÃĪmende Formen annimmt.
Auch das hohe Gut der Schweizer NeutralitÃĪt scheint immer mehr in Gefahr. Die schleichende Bewegung der Eidgenossenschaft in Richtung NATO und damit weg von einer Vermittlerposition erhÃĪlt auch durch den neuen Verteidigungsminister Anschub. Martin Pfister mÃķchte eine stÃĪrkere Einbindung in die europÃĪische Verteidigungsarchitektur, verwechselt bei der Argumentation jedoch Ursache und Wirkung.
Das Thema Gesundheit ist als Zugpferd fÞr GeschÃĪfte und Kontrolle offenbar schon zuverlÃĪssig etabliert. Die hauptsÃĪchlich privat finanzierte Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) ist dabei durch ein Netzwerk von sogenannten ÂŦCollaborating CentresÂŧ sogar so weit in nationale Einrichtungen eingedrungen, dass man sich fragen kann, ob diese nicht von Genf aus gesteuert werden.
Das Schweizer Bundesamt fÞr Gesundheit (BAG) Þbernimmt in dieser Funktion ebenso von der WHO definierte Aufgaben und Pflichten wie das deutsche Robert Koch-Institut (RKI). Gegen die Covid-ÂŦImpfungÂŧ fÞr Schwangere, die das BAG empfiehlt, obwohl es fehlende wissenschaftliche Belege fÞr deren Schutzwirkung einrÃĪumt, formiert sich im Tessin gerade Widerstand.
Unter dem Stichwort ÂŦGesundheitssicherheitÂŧ werden uns die Bestrebungen verkauft, essenzielle Dienste mit einer biometrischen digitalen ID zu verknÞpfen. Das dient dem Profit mit unseren Daten und fÞhrt im Ergebnis zum Verlust unserer demokratischen Freiheiten. Die deutsche elektronische Patientenakte (ePA) ist ein Element mit solchem Potenzial. Die Schweizer BÞrger haben gerade ein Referendum gegen das revidierte E-ID-Gesetz erzwungen. In Thailand ist seit Anfang Mai fÞr die Einreise eine ÂŦDigital Arrival CardÂŧ notwendig, die mit ihrer GesundheitserklÃĪrung einen Impfpass ÂŦdurch die HintertÞrÂŧ befÞrchten lÃĪsst.
Der massive Blackout auf der iberischen Halbinsel hat vermehrt Fragen dazu aufgeworfen, wohin uns Klimawandel-Hysterie und ÂŦgrÞneÂŧ Energiepolitik fÞhren werden. Meine Kollegin Wiltrud Schwetje ist dem nachgegangen und hat in mehreren BeitrÃĪgen darÞber berichtet. Wenig Þberraschend fÞhren interessante Spuren mal wieder zu internationalen GroÃbanken, Globalisten und zur EU-Kommission.
Zunehmend bedenklich ist aber ganz allgemein auch die manifestierte Spaltung unserer Gesellschaften. Angesichts der tiefen und sorgsam gepflegten GrÃĪben fÃĪllt es inzwischen schwer, eine zukunftsfÃĪhige Perspektive zu erkennen. Umso begrÞÃenswerter sind Initiativen wie die KÃķlner Veranstaltungsreihe ÂŦNeue Visionen fÞr die ZukunftÂŧ. Diese mÃķchte die Diskussionskultur reanimieren und dazu beitragen, dass Menschen wieder ohne Angst und ergebnisoffen Þber kontroverse Themen der Zeit sprechen.
Quo vadis â Wohin gehen wir also? Die Suche nach Orientierung in diesem vermeintlichen Chaos fÞhrt auch zur Reflexion Þber den eigenen Lebensweg. Das ist positiv insofern, als wir daraus Kraft schÃķpfen kÃķnnen. Ob derweil der neue Papst, dessen ÂŦVorgÃĪngerÂŧ Petrus unsere Ausgangsfrage durch die christliche Legende zugeschrieben wird, dabei eine Rolle spielt, muss jede/r selbst wissen. Mir persÃķnlich ist allein schon ein FÞhrungsanspruch wie der des Petrusprimats der rÃķmisch-katholischen Kirche eher suspekt.

For generations before generative text, writers have used the em dash to hop between thoughts, emotions, and ideas. Dickens shaped his morality tales with it, Woolfâs stream-of-consciousness flowed through it, Kerouac let it drive his jazz-like prose. Today, Sally Rooney threads it through her quiet truths of the heart.
But this beloved punctuation mark has become a casualty of the algorithmic age. The em dash has been so widely adopted by AI-generated text that even when used by human hands, it begs the question: was this actually written or apathetically prompted?
The battle for the soul of writing is in full swing. And the human fightback starts here. With a new punctuation mark that serves as a symbol of real pondering, genuine daydreaming, and true editorial wordsmithery. Inspired by Descartesâ belief that thinking makes us human, the am dash is a small but powerful testament that the words youâve painstakingly and poetically pulled together are unequivocally, certifiably, and delightfully your own.
Let's reclain writig from AIâoneam dash at time.

2025-05-10 05:11:27Consider the following two charts from A History of Clojure which detail the introduction and retention of new code by release for both Clojure and for Scala.
While this doesn't necessarily translate to library stability, it's reasonable to assume that the attitude of the Clojure maintainers will seep into the community. And that assumption is true.
Consider a typical Javascript program. What is it comprised of? Objects, objects, and more objects. Members of those objects must be either introspected or divined. Worse, it's normal to monkeypatch those objects, so the object members may (or may not) change over time.
Now, consider a typical Clojure program. What is it comprised of? Namespaces. Those namespaces contain functions and data. Functions may be dynamically generated (via macros), but it is extremely rare to "monkeypatch" a namespace. If you want to know what functions are available in a namespace, you can simply read the source file.

2025-05-08 05:25:48Safe 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!

2025-05-10 00:57:52Recentemente, o podcast Scicast apresentou um episÃģdio sobre aposentadoria, descrevendo os diferentes sistemas e sua histÃģria. Acho que, embora tenha sido um episÃģdio interessante, foi muito injusto com o sistema de financiamento privado, que, afinal de contas, para um podcast voltado para a ciÊncia (e que mencionou vÃĄrias vezes que o sistema de repartiçÃĢo era matematicamente inviÃĄvel), achei que alguns pontos precisavam ser esclarecidos.
NÃĢo estou dizendo que o sistema chileno ÃĐ perfeito, nÃĢo ÃĐ, mas ele tinha potencial para melhorar e a classe polÃtica sÃģ o tornou cada vez pior.
Por exemplo, Otto von Bismarck sabia que tornaria a populaçÃĢo idosa (os poucos que atingiram a idade de aposentadoria) dependente do Estado, e foi isso que fez com que Franco adotasse o sistema na Espanha, onde hoje ÃĐ preciso aumentar os impostos para manter artificialmente o sistema de repartiçÃĢo.
A rentabilidade ÃĐ baixa no sistema chileno, porque hÃĄ lacunas (meses sem pagar) e porque vocÊ sÃģ contribui com 10%. Ou seja, se seu salÃĄrio for 100, mas vocÊ contribuir com 10 em janeiro e mais nenhum mÊs. No final da sua vida profissional (45 anos) vocÊ terÃĄ 450 mais os rendimentos 1350, e esse total dividido pela expectativa de vida que estÃĄ cada vez mais alta: 20 anos (24 meses) dÃĄ um salÃĄrio de 56,25. Muito baixo, porque para o cÃĄlculo o salÃĄrio era 100. Ainda mais baixo se a inflaçÃĢo for levada em conta. Mas o fato de haver meses sem contribuiçÃĩes nÃĢo ÃĐ levado em conta.
Deve-se considerar na rentabilidade que, em mÃĐdia, para cada 1 peso contribuÃdo, sÃĢo obtidos 3 pesos.SegÚn cÃĄlculos de comissÃĩes
VÃĄrias comissÃĩes foram criadas para estudar como melhorar o sistema no Chile, e todas concluem a mesma coisa:
1- contribuir com 10% ÃĐ muito baixo em comparaçÃĢo com outros sistemas
2- nÃĢo se deve tolerar lacunas (a idade de aposentadoria nÃĢo deve ser a idade natural, mas os anos de contribuiçÃĢo)
3- deve haver ajustes para cada aumento na expectativa de vida.
Esses trÊs pontos acima nÃĢo sÃĢo tocados pelos polÃticos, porque sÃĢo impopulares e eles vivem para a prÃģxima eleiçÃĢo. Assim, eles preferem buscar outras formas, como o PGU (o salÃĄrio bÃĄsico universal que vocÊ jÃĄ mencionou no podcast), que matematicamente jÃĄ foi calculado como inviÃĄvel no longo prazo.
Considere que 10% ÃĐ baixo, mas ainda assim o Chile estÃĄ muito bem classificado e poderia melhorar se os polÃticos tivessem a coragem de assumir os resultados das comissÃĩes que eles mesmos solicitaram.
https://www.65ymas.com/economia/pensiones/10-paises-con-mejores-sistemas-pensiones_22627_102.html
Foi mencionada a complexidade dos investimentos, o que ÃĐ um mito, pois hÃĄ fundos em que as contribuiçÃĩes sÃĢo feitas de acordo com a idade do trabalhador (Fundo A para jovens, mais rentÃĄvel, mas mais arriscado, e Fundo E, menos rentÃĄvel, mas tambÃĐm menos arriscado). Na crise, as pessoas que perderam muito dinheiro foram porque estavam em um fundo que nÃĢo correspondia à sua idade. Se vocÊ for jovem, poderÃĄ recuperar os retornos em um fundo de risco. Mas se for idoso na ÃĐpoca da crise e nÃĢo estiver em um fundo estÃĄvel, jÃĄ terÃĄ perdido sem poder se recuperar antes dos 65 anos.
AlÃĐm disso, nÃĢo se considera que hÃĄ tambÃĐm um fundo voluntÃĄrio adicional para o qual cada pessoa pode contribuir (APV), que tem benefÃcios como contribuiçÃĩes anuais do Estado para recompensar aqueles que contribuem para ele, e que tambÃĐm paga retornos.
Por outro lado, foi possÃvel retirar dinheiro dos fundos individuais durante a crise pandÊmica, algo que seria impossÃvel em um fundo de repartiçÃĢo em que cada unidade monetÃĄria depositada por um trabalhador ativo ÃĐ gasta ao mesmo tempo por um aposentado.
O modelo de repartiçÃĢo militar no Chile exige 20 anos de contribuiçÃĩes sem intervalos, qualquer intervalo e a pensÃĢo ÃĐ de US$ 0, algo que nÃĢo acontece no sistema civil (e nÃĢo poderia acontecer porque o dinheiro lÃĄ ÃĐ seu).
O sistema de capitalizaçÃĢo individual no Chile permite que os trabalhadores possuam ativos de investimento, ativos de empresas que ajudaram o paÃs a se desenvolver, algo que os polÃticos que querem derrubar o sistema parecem nÃĢo entender.
E quanto à inflaçÃĢo? Investir em ativos que geram renda ÃĐ Ãštil tanto para mitigar a inflaçÃĢo quanto para ser proprietÃĄrio, e esse Último aspecto serÃĄ relevante quando a automaçÃĢo chegar. Em vez de manter um registro artificial de quanto um robÃī produz, ÃĐ mais transparente lucrar com os dividendos produzidos pela empresa em questÃĢo.
O sistema nÃģrdico foi mencionado (que, afinal de contas, ÃĐ praticamente o Único sistema europeu que nÃĢo estÃĄ à beira do colapso). Vale a pena considerar que o dinheiro que a Noruega ganha com o petrÃģleo vai para um fundo de investimento semelhante ao que temos individualmente no Chile, e a partir dele ÃĐ paga grande parte do estado de bem-estar social norueguÊs. Mas isso ÃĐ algo que parece muito distante, com a classe polÃtica latino-americana mais inclinada a desperdiÃ§ÃĄ-lo em bobagens populistas.
O modelo de distribuiçÃĢo ÃĐ piramidal, embora possa parecer uma narrativa perigosa, ÃĐ bom que as pessoas o vejam dessa forma (se um cidadÃĢo tirasse dinheiro dos jovens para dar aos idosos, provavelmente acabaria preso por um esquema ponzi), e a taxa de natalidade cada vez menor ÃĐ um problema que o Estado nÃĢo pode resolver, por mais totalitÃĄrio que seja (estÃmulos fiscais e monetÃĄrios etc. foram tentados com resultados ruins e mÃopes).
AlÃĐm disso, por mais demonizado que seja na narrativa, o sistema chileno ÃĐ um sistema misto com um pilar de solidariedade para aqueles que nÃĢo contribuÃram bem.
Na Argentina, passou-se da capitalizaçÃĢo individual para o sistema de repartiçÃĢo, e o dinheiro foi usado pelos polÃticos quando nÃĢo podiam pagar a conta de um Estado cada vez maior e corrupto, deixando os aposentados à mercÊ das migalhas dadas pelos polÃticos em cada campanha eleitoral. VocÊ nÃĢo confia no mercado, eu nÃĢo confio no Estado.

2025-05-09 23:53:41Existem seres do tipo "troll" no folclore PortuguÊs conhecidos como Trasgos, semelhantes a gnomos e duendes. Na interpretaçÃĢo da Vanessa Fidalgo, duende e trasgo seriam sinÃģnimos e ela descreve-os como sendo "refilÃĩes, rebeldes, de pequena estatura, nariz arrebatado, tez rugosa, e o povo chama-lhes trasgos ou maruxinhos, que ÃĐ como quem diz, duendes!"
Escondem-se nas florestas rurais e sÃĢo famosos por pregar partidas aos viajantes, especialmente aos pastores de ovelhas. Essas criaturas anÃĢs podem aparecer nas lareiras e tornar-se bastante invasivas. Mesmo que alguÃĐm se mude de casa, os Trasgos seguem-nos atÃĐ ao novo lar. Existem rituais que, alegadamente, conseguem expulsar os Trasgos de uma casa.
A natureza jovial e traquina destes seres estÃĄ relacionada com um FadÃĄrio Galego, em que se acreditava que eles eram resultado de crianças que morriam novas, em que a alma ficava presa a uma casa ou a um local agrÃcola relacionado com a famÃlia.
No folclore leonÊs, sÃĢo chamados de Trasgos. No folclore castelhano e aragonÊs, sÃĢo conhecidos como Martinitos.
Nas AstÚrias, o trasgo ÃĐ conhecido por nomes diferentes, dependendo da localizaçÃĢo. Ele ÃĐ conhecido como Trasno, CornÃn ou Xuan Dos CamÃos nas AstÚrias ocidentais. Ele ÃĐ conhecido como GorretÃn Colorau ou aquele com o "gorro encarnado" (ambos significando "pequeno chapÃĐu vermelho"), nas AstÚrias orientais.
Na mitologia Celta, sÃĢo conhecidos por "Far Darrig" que significa "homem vermelho".
Algumas interpretaçÃĩes sugerem que encarna a natureza caprichosa do destino, lembrando os humanos da imprevisibilidade da jornada da vida. Outras vÊem-no como uma representaçÃĢo dos aspectos selvagens e indomÃĄveis do mundo natural, existindo nas margens da compreensÃĢo humana.

2025-05-09 23:51:07Outro indÃcio de que as relaçÃĩes entre Celtas e IbÃĐros nÃĢo foi unilateral ÃĐ a existÊncia em solo IrlandÊs da planta Erica mackaiana, conhecida como Urze Galego ou Asturiano
Esta ÃĐ uma espÃĐcie de urze encontrada exclusivamente nas costas da Galiza, Irlanda, AstÚrias e CantÃĄbria. Estas plantas estÃĢo sempre localizadas a menos de 10 km das margens, na proximidade de povoaçÃĩes costeiras da Idade do Ferro.
NÃĢo sÃĢo nativas da Irlanda. HÃĄ indÃcios que sugerem que muitas espÃĐcies da fauna hiberno-lusitana chegaram à Irlanda devido a uma intensa actividade comercial exclusivamente marÃtima. Por exemplo, a Erica erigena, originalmente nativa da GÃĄlia e da HispÃĒnia, ÃĐ teoricamente considerada como tendo sido transplantada para solo irlandÊs atravÃĐs do comÃĐrcio de vinho galaico.
Os indÃcios de contrabando de E. mackiana incluem o facto de serem encontradas apenas em portos que levam a rotas interiores e em baÃas isoladas. O local com a maior concentraçÃĢo desta espÃĐcie ÃĐ o PÃĒntano de Roundstone, situado entre duas enseadas isoladas, atravessado por uma antiga estrada de Connemara, uma ÃĄrea com uma longa histÃģria de contrabando. Em Kerry, hÃĄ uma estrada conhecida como Trilho dos Contrabandistas, que foi a principal ÃĄrea de distribuiçÃĢo desta espÃĐcie.

2025-05-10 15:38:09Disclaimer: I used Grammarly AI to correct my poor English to look polished. **
Preface: The motivation behind this note stems from a personal curiosity sparked by a few interactions with someone I know. After watching a YouTube video by Salvaveritate on Narcissistic Personality Disorder, I realized that what I was observing wasnât purely NPD-it seemed to be intertwined with something else. I wanted to better understand this personâs thought process and what might be driving their behavior. At the end of this note, Iâve included the references I consulted to explore this phenomenon further.
Weâve all encountered that person who walks into a room like they own it-dismissing every idea but their own and expecting the world to revolve around them. Thereâs confidence, and then thereâs a level of self-importance so exaggerated it becomes something darker. That, in a nutshell, is megalomania.
Though itâs no longer a formal psychological diagnosis (now categorized under narcissistic personality disorder), the term âmegalomaniaâ still resonates when we describe someone with delusional beliefs about their power, brilliance, or importance. Itâs not just arrogance-itâs a complete departure from reality, where self-worth is inflated to cartoonish proportions.
The Many Faces of Megalomania
Megalomaniacs arenât always easy to spot at first. They can be charismatic, persuasive, and even inspiring-until you begin to notice the patterns. Here are some of the archetypes you might recognize:
-
The Political Power Player: From infamous historical figures to the neighborhood HOA president who rules like a tyrant, these individuals believe only they can save the day.
-
The Corporate Climber: Ambition isnât the issue here-itâs the willingness to trample anyone in their path. These folks take credit for others' work and treat colleagues like pawns.
-
The Self-Proclaimed Guru: Think of that person who reads one book and suddenly thinks theyâve unlocked the secrets of the universe. They believe they alone hold the truth and must share it with the âless enlightened.â
-
The Everyday Ego: Perhaps the most common. They're the friend who always turns the conversation back to themselves or the family member who demands special treatment at every gathering.
Warning Signs to Watch For
If you suspect someone in your orbit might be leaning into megalomaniac territory, here are some red flags:
- They crave admiration but rarely offer it in return.
- Criticism-even the gentle kind - triggers rage or defensiveness.
- They exaggerate achievements or name-drop to elevate their image.
- Rules are for everyone else - they believe theyâre exempt.
- People are merely tools to further their personal agenda.
Often, the charm and confidence they exude can blind you to these signs until you're in too deep. Many learn this lesson through tough workplace dynamics, toxic relationships, or manipulative friendships.
How to Protect Yourself
If you're dealing with a megalomaniac, remember: youâre not powerless. Strategies that actually help include:
- Don't feed the ego - Respectful neutrality works better than flattery.
- Set firm boundaries - Be clear about what is and isnât acceptable.
- Keep records - Especially in professional settings, documentation is crucial.
- Know when to walk away - Some relationships or environments canât be fixed.
- Seek support - Therapy can equip you with the tools to cope and recover.
Trying to âchangeâ a megalomaniac rarely works-focus instead on preserving your own mental health and emotional well-being.
A Look Through History-and the Mirror
From Hitler and Stalinâs destructive delusions of grandeur to modern business figures like Elizabeth Holmes, history is packed with cautionary tales of unchecked ego. Even pop culture gives us glimpses: Tony Montana in Scarface, Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada. These characters arenât just dramatic-theyâre psychological case studies in what happens when ego eclipses empathy.
But letâs be honest-none of us are immune to moments of inflated self-worth. The difference lies in self-awareness. True confidence coexists with humility. It laughs at karaoke fails and learns from criticism. Megalomania, by contrast, builds walls around insecurity and calls it a fortress.
Have you ever dealt with someone whose ego became their identity? Or maybe caught yourself slipping into that territory? Letâs unpack it together-your insights could help someone else recognize the signs early.

2025-05-09 23:49:24Aisling ÃĐ um gÃĐnero literÃĄrio que se tornou popular na Irlanda nos sÃĐculos XVII e XVIII depois do tumulto da Guerra Williamita, misturando elementos de folclore, nacionalismo e romantismo. Ela encapsulava um anseio por identidade e liberdade, utilizando a figura da mulher bela como um poderoso sÃmbolo de esperança e aspiraçÃĢo.
Mas a histÃģria da Aisling nÃĢo começa aà e uma das suas origens ÃĐ o conto muito confuso de Caer Ibormeith, tambÃĐm conhecida por Coerabar Boeth.
(https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/ba3b4b1d1c5cc2707f71924368a7adcded1829921c86e022f1cb8117eadff0d3/files/1746834499215-YAKIHONNES3.jpg)
Ela era filha de Etal Anbuail, um rei FeÃĐrico dos Tuatha DÃĐ Danann "povos da deusa Danu"; uma filidh - um nome que mais tarde foi atribuido aos poetas da Irlanda com proezas profÃĐticas, uma vez que Ibormeith era a deusa das profecias, de certa forma semelhante a um "bardo", como se diz em PortuguÊs. A cada Samhain, 31 de Outubro, quando o Mundo dos Vivos se aproximava do Mundo dos Mortos, ela transformava-se num cisne, atÃĐ ao Samhain seguinte em que regressava à sua forma humana. Numa das versÃĩes desse conto, Ibormeith, apÃģs consulta ou por iniciativa prÃģpria, apaixona-se por Ãengus. Numa noite, ela aparece nos sonhos dele tocando a mais bela melodia e quando ele acorda sabe que estÃĄ apaixonado mas nÃĢo sabia quem era aquela bela mulher nem onde a poderia encontrar. Ele fica completamente down bad e cada dia que passa sÃģ pensa em voltar sonhar com ela outra vez, e ela todas as noites volta a aparecer-lhe no Mundos dos Sonhos. Um dia, Ãengus perde o apetite e adoece. Um mÃĐdico foi chamado. Ele adivinhou a causa da doença de Ãengus e disse a BÃģann, mÃĢe de Ãengus, para encontrar a jovem dos sonhos dele. BÃģann procurou durante um ano, mas sem sucesso. EntÃĢo, eles pediram ajuda ao seu pai, o Dagdha, que tambÃĐm procurou um ano mas sem sucesso. EntÃĢo foi pedido ao seu irmÃĢo Bodb que encontrasse um lugar com a descriçÃĢo segundo os sonhos. Mas o pai dela, Etal, nÃĢo permitia que qualquer um ficasse com a mÃĢo da sua filha e entÃĢo revelou que para a conquistar teria que esperar pelo Loch BÃĐl Dragain que significa "Lago da Boca do DragÃĢo" para a encontrar na manhÃĢ do Samhain e a chamasse pelo nome. Nesse dia havia 150 cisnes* nesse lago, carregando correntes de prata e Ãengus começou a panicar por nÃĢo encontrar a sua Ibormeith, mas foi entÃĢo que reparou num cisne mais bonito que os outros, com correntes de ouro e prata, e quando disse o seu nome ela revelou a sua forma humana e perguntou-lhe porque demorou tanto tempo.
Depois disse transformaram-se em cisnes e cantaram uma mÚsica tÃĢo bela que os humanos dormiram durante 3 dias e Ãengus ficou conhecido como deus do amor e da juventude.
*Na mitologia irlandesa, o nÚmero 150 refere-se frequentemente aos Cinquenta Guerreiros dos Tuatha DÃĐ Danann e a figura dos cisnes ÃĐ frequente e tambÃĐm utilizada nas obras de Hans Christian Andersen e Tchaikovsky. Outras versÃĩes do conto nÃĢo dizem cisnes, dizem aves, ou a histÃģria acontece de maneira ligeiramente diferente - quem conta um conto acrescenta um ponto.![image]

2025-05-09 23:40:27O culto de Sol Invictus (Sol Invicto, ou "Sol NÃĢo Vencido") foi oficialmente instituÃdo como religiÃĢo estatal do ImpÃĐrio Romano pelo imperador Aureliano em 274 d.C., marcando um momento relevante na histÃģria religiosa romana. Este culto, que celebrava o Sol como divindade suprema e invencÃvel, estabeleceu celebraçÃĩes anuais a 25 de Dezembro, uma data estrategicamente escolhida pela sua proximidade com o solstÃcio de Inverno no calendÃĄrio juliano. Contudo, o culto de Sol Invictus nÃĢo surgiu isoladamente; tratava-se, na verdade, de uma reformulaçÃĢo e revitalizaçÃĢo de prÃĄticas religiosas romanas muito mais antigas que veneravam Sol, a personificaçÃĢo deificada do Sol, uma figura presente na religiÃĢo romana desde os tempos da RepÚblica.
Antes da oficializaçÃĢo por Aureliano, o culto ao Sol jÃĄ era praticado em Roma sob diversas formas. Na mitologia romana, Sol era frequentemente associado a deuses solares de outras culturas, como o grego HÃĐlios e, mais tarde, o persa Mitra, cujo culto (o mitraÃsmo) alcançou grande popularidade entre os soldados romanos nos sÃĐculos II e III d.C. O mitraÃsmo, com os seus rituais iniciÃĄticos e Ênfase no Sol como sÃmbolo de renovaçÃĢo e vitÃģria, influenciou profundamente a iconografia e os conceitos do culto de Sol Invictus. A decisÃĢo de Aureliano de promover Sol Invictus como divindade unificadora do ImpÃĐrio nÃĢo foi apenas religiosa, mas tambÃĐm polÃtica: numa era de crises internas e externas, o culto ao Sol servia como sÃmbolo de estabilidade, poder e unidade, sobretudo apÃģs a vitÃģria de Aureliano contra a rainha ZenÃģbia do Reino de Palmira, cuja derrota foi atribuÃda à protecçÃĢo divina do Sol.
Um dos festivais mais significativos associados ao culto era o Dies Natalis Solis Invicti ("AniversÃĄrio do Sol Invicto"), celebrado no solstÃcio de Inverno, por volta de 21 de Dezembro, quando o dia começava a prolongar-se novamente, simbolizando a vitÃģria do Sol sobre a escuridÃĢo. Este festival, profundamente enraizado no ciclo natural e astronÃģmico, celebrava o renascimento do Sol e a sua força invencÃvel. A proximidade temporal entre o Dies Natalis e a data de 25 de Dezembro, oficialmente adoptada para Sol Invictus, facilitou a sobreposiçÃĢo de significados e prÃĄticas religiosas. A ascensÃĢo do Cristianismo no ImpÃĐrio Romano, particularmente apÃģs a conversÃĢo do imperador Constantino no inÃcio do sÃĐculo IV, conduziu a uma complexa interacçÃĢo entre os cultos pagÃĢos e a nova religiÃĢo. à amplamente reconhecido pelos historiadores que o Cristianismo, ao estabelecer-se como religiÃĢo dominante, absorveu e adaptou elementos de festivais pagÃĢos para facilitar a conversÃĢo das populaçÃĩes e consolidar a sua influÊncia. A escolha do 25 de Dezembro como data do nascimento de Jesus Cristo, que nÃĢo tem fundamento nos textos bÃblicos canÃģnicos, ÃĐ um exemplo evidente deste sincretismo. A data coincidia convenientemente com as celebraçÃĩes de Sol Invictus e outros festivais pagÃĢos, como a SaturnÃĄlia, um perÃodo de festividades em honra do deus Saturno que ocorria em meados de Dezembro. O simbolismo do Sol, associado à luz, renovaçÃĢo e vitÃģria sobre as trevas, era facilmente adaptÃĄvel à narrativa cristÃĢ. Jesus, frequentemente descrito como a "Luz do Mundo" nos evangelhos (JoÃĢo 8:12), foi associado ao simbolismo solar, e a sua ressurreiçÃĢo passou a ser celebrada como uma vitÃģria sobre a morte, semelhante ao retorno triunfal do Sol no solstÃcio. A iconografia cristÃĢ tambÃĐm reflectiu esta influÊncia: imagens de Cristo com uma aurÃĐola, reminiscentes dos raios solares, ecoavam representaçÃĩes de Sol Invictus e HÃĐlios. AlÃĐm disso, o mitraÃsmo, com os seus rituais de renovaçÃĢo e Ênfase num salvador divino, apresentava paralelos com o Cristianismo, o que poderÃĄ ter facilitado a transiçÃĢo de fiÃĐis de um culto para o outro.
Importa notar que a adopçÃĢo do 25 de Dezembro como o Natal cristÃĢo nÃĢo foi imediata. Registos histÃģricos sugerem que a data sÃģ foi formalmente estabelecida no sÃĐculo IV, durante o reinado de Constantino e sob a influÊncia da Igreja de Roma. O Papa JÚlio I, por volta de 350 d.C., ÃĐ frequentemente creditado por oficializar a celebraçÃĢo do nascimento de Cristo nesta data. Esta escolha foi estratÃĐgica, pois permitiu que o Cristianismo se sobrepusesse aos festivais pagÃĢos, reinterpretando as suas tradiçÃĩes num contexto cristÃĢo. Paralelamente, na SibÃĐria, os cultos xamÃĒnicos envolvendo o cogumelo Amanita muscaria tambÃĐm se relacionam com o solstÃcio de Inverno. Povos como os Evenki e os Chukchi utilizavam este cogumelo alucinogÃĐnio em rituais para enfrentar o rigoroso Inverno, induzindo visÃĩes de renas voadoras e trenÃģs, que alguns estudiosos associam à origem das lendas do Pai Natal. A Amanita muscaria, com o seu pÃleo vermelho e branco, crescia sob pinheiros, que se tornaram sÃmbolos das ÃĄrvores de Natal. Os xamÃĢs siberianos distribuÃam estes cogumelos secos como "presentes" durante o solstÃcio, muitas vezes entrando nas casas pela chaminÃĐ devido à neve, um costume que ecoa na figura do Pai Natal. Assim, tanto o culto de Sol Invictus como os rituais siberianos da Amanita muscaria convergem no simbolismo do solstÃcio de Inverno, influenciando, de formas distintas, as tradiçÃĩes natalÃcias cristÃĢs.
A escolha de 25 de Dezembro facilitou a integraçÃĢo de tradiçÃĩes pagÃĢs, como a SaturnÃĄlia e os cultos solares, numa narrativa cristÃĢ, com Jesus como a "Luz do Mundo".
Assim, o culto de Sol Invictus e as suas raÃzes no culto romano a Sol desempenharam um papel crucial na formaçÃĢo das celebraçÃĩes cristÃĢs do Natal. A amalgamaçÃĢo de elementos pagÃĢos e cristÃĢos reflecte a capacidade do Cristianismo de se adaptar à s culturas locais, transformando sÃmbolos e rituais profundamente enraizados em novas expressÃĩes de fÃĐ. Este processo de sincretismo nÃĢo sÃģ garantiu a sobrevivÊncia do Cristianismo num mundo religiosamente diverso, como tambÃĐm moldou a forma como o Natal ÃĐ celebrado atÃĐ hoje, com ecos das antigas tradiçÃĩes solares ainda presentes na sua simbologia de luz e renovaçÃĢo.

2025-05-09 23:10:14I. Historical Foundations of U.S. Monetary Architecture
The early monetary system of the United States was built atop inherited commodity money conventions from Europeâs maritime economies. Silver and gold coinsâprimarily Spanish pieces of eight, Dutch guilders, and other foreign specieâformed the basis of colonial commerce. These units were already integrated into international trade and piracy networks and functioned with natural compatibility across England, France, Spain, and Denmark. Lacking a centralized mint or formal currency, the U.S. adopted these forms de facto.
As security risks and the practical constraints of physical coinage mounted, banks emerged to warehouse specie and issue redeemable certificates. These certificates evolved into fiduciary mediaâclaims on specie not actually in hand. Banks observed over time that substantial portions of reserves remained unclaimed for years. This enabled fractional reserve banking: issuing more claims than reserves held, so long as redemption demand stayed low. The practice was inherently unstable, prone to panics and bank runs, prompting eventual centralization through the formation of the Federal Reserve in 1913.
Following the Civil War and unstable reinstatements of gold convertibility, the U.S. sought global monetary stability. After World War II, the Bretton Woods system formalized the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency. The dollar was nominally backed by gold, but most international dollars were held offshore and recycled into U.S. Treasuries. The Nixon Shock of 1971 eliminated the gold peg, converting the dollar into pure fiat. Yet offshore dollar demand remained, sustained by oil trade mandates and the unique role of Treasuries as global reserve assets.
II. The Structure of Fiduciary Media and Treasury Demand
Under this system, foreign trade surpluses with the U.S. generate excess dollars. These surplus dollars are parked in U.S. Treasuries, thereby recycling trade imbalances into U.S. fiscal liquidity. While technically loans to the U.S. government, these purchases act like interest-only transfersâgovernments receive yield, and the U.S. receives spendable liquidity without principal repayment due in the short term. Debt is perpetually rolled over, rarely extinguished.
This creates an illusion of global subsidy: U.S. deficits are financed via foreign capital inflows that, in practice, function more like financial tribute systems than conventional debt markets. The underlying assetâU.S. Treasury debtâfunctions as the base reserve asset of the dollar system, replacing gold in post-Bretton Woods monetary logic.
III. Emergence of Tether and the Parastatal Dollar
Tether (USDT), as a private issuer of dollar-denominated tokens, mimics key central bank behaviors while operating outside the regulatory perimeter. It mints tokens allegedly backed 1:1 by U.S. dollars or dollar-denominated securities (mostly Treasuries). These tokens circulate globally, often in jurisdictions with limited banking access, and increasingly serve as synthetic dollar substitutes.
If USDT gains dominance as the preferred medium of exchangeâdue to technological advantages, speed, programmability, or accessâit displaces Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) not through devaluation, but through functional obsolescence. Greshamâs Law inverts: good money (more liquid, programmable, globally transferable USDT) displaces bad (FRNs) even if both maintain a nominal 1:1 parity.
Over time, this preference translates to a systemic demand shift. Actors increasingly use Tether instead of FRNs, especially in global commerce, digital marketplaces, or decentralized finance. Tether tokens effectively become shadow base money.
IV. Interaction with Commercial Banking and Redemption Mechanics
Under traditional fractional reserve systems, commercial banks issue loans denominated in U.S. dollars, expanding the money supply. When borrowers repay loans, this destroys the created dollars and contracts monetary elasticity. If borrowers repay in USDT instead of FRNs:
- Banks receive a non-Fed liability (USDT).
- USDT is not recognized as reserve-eligible within the Federal Reserve System.
- Banks must either redeem USDT for FRNs, or demand par-value conversion from Tether to settle reserve requirements and balance their books.
This places redemption pressure on Tether and threatens its 1:1 peg under stress. If redemption latency, friction, or cost arises, USDTâs equivalence to FRNs is compromised. Conversely, if banks are permitted or compelled to hold USDT as reserve or regulatory capital, Tether becomes a de facto reserve issuer.
In this scenario, banks may begin demanding loans in USDT, mirroring borrower behavior. For this to occur sustainably, banks must secure Tether liquidity. This creates two options: - Purchase USDT from Tether or on the secondary market, collateralized by existing fiat. - Borrow USDT directly from Tether, using bank-issued debt as collateral.
The latter mirrors Federal Reserve discount window operations. Tether becomes a lender of first resort, providing monetary elasticity to the banking system by creating new tokens against promissory assetsâexactly how central banks function.
V. Structural Consequences: Parallel Central Banking
If Tether begins lending to commercial banks, issuing tokens backed by bank notes or collateralized debt obligations: - Tether controls the expansion of broad money through credit issuance. - Its balance sheet mimics a central bank, with Treasuries and bank debt as assets and tokens as liabilities. - It intermediates between sovereign debt and global liquidity demand, replacing the Federal Reserveâs open market operations with its own issuance-redemption cycles.
Simultaneously, if Tether purchases U.S. Treasuries with FRNs received through token issuance, it: - Supplies the Treasury with new liquidity (via bond purchases). - Collects yield on government debt. - Issues a parallel form of U.S. dollars that never require redemptionâan interest-only loan to the U.S. government from a non-sovereign entity.
In this context, Tether performs monetary functions of both a central bank and a sovereign wealth fund, without political accountability or regulatory transparency.
VI. Endgame: Institutional Inversion and Fed Redundancy
This paradigm represents an institutional inversion:
- The Federal Reserve becomes a legacy issuer.
- Tether becomes the operational base money provider in both retail and interbank contexts.
- Treasuries remain the foundational reserve asset, but access to them is mediated by a private intermediary.
- The dollar persists, but its issuer changes. The State becomes a fiscal agent of a decentralized financial ecosystem, not its monetary sovereign.
Unless the Federal Reserve reasserts controlâeither by absorbing Tether, outlawing its instruments, or integrating its tokens into the reserve frameworkâit risks becoming irrelevant in the daily function of money.
Tether, in this configuration, is no longer a derivative of the dollarâit is the dollar, just one level removed from sovereign control. The future of monetary sovereignty under such a regime is post-national and platform-mediated.

2025-05-07 06:16:30Hereâs Sean Voisen writing about how programming is a feeling:
For those of us who enjoy programming, there is a deep satisfaction that comes from solving problems through well-written code, a kind of ineffable joy found in the elegant expression of a system through our favorite syntax. It is akin to the same satisfaction a craftsperson might find at the end of the day after toiling away on well-made piece of furniture, the culmination of small dopamine hits that come from sweating the details on something and getting them just right. Maybe nobody will notice those details, but it doesnât matter. We care, we notice, we get joy from the aesthetics of the craft.
This got me thinking about the idea of satisfaction in craft. Where does it come from?

2025-05-09 22:54:43The global financial system is creaking under its own weight. The IMF is urging banks to shore up capital, cut risk, and brace for impact. Basel III is their answer, a last-ditch effort to reinforce a brittle foundation.
But behind the scenes, a quieter revolution is under way.
Bitcoin, the worldâs first stateless digital asset, is no longer on the sidelines. Itâs entering the Basel conversation: not by invitation, but by inevitability.
Basel III: The Systemâs Self-Diagnosis
Basel III is more than a technical rulebook. Itâs a confession: an admission that the global banking system is vulnerable. Created in the aftermath of 2008, it calls for: âĒ Stronger capital reserves: So banks can survive losses. âĒ Lower leverage: To reduce the domino effect of overexposure. âĒ Liquidity buffers: To weather short-term shocks without collapsing.
But hereâs the kicker: these rules are hostile to anything outside the fiat system. Bitcoin gets hit with a punitive 1,250% risk weight. That means for every $1 of exposure, banks must hold $1 in capital. The message from regulators? âYou can hold Bitcoin, but youâll pay for it.â
Yet that fear: based framing misses a bigger truth: Bitcoin doesnât just survive in this environment. It thrives in it.
Bitcoin: A Parallel System, Built on Hard Rules
Where Basel III imposes âfiat disciplineâ from the top down, Bitcoin enforces it from the bottom up: with code, math, and transparency.
Bitcoin is not just a hedge. Itâs a structural antidote to systemic fragility.
Volatility: A Strategic Asset
Yes, Bitcoin is volatile. But in a system that devalues fiat on a schedule, volatility is simply the cost of freedom. Under Basel III, banks are expected to build capital buffers during economic expansions.
What asset allows you to build those buffers faster than Bitcoin in a bull market?
When the cycle turns, those reserves act as shock absorbers: converting volatility into resilience. Itâs anti-fragility in motion.
Liquidity: Real, Deep, and Global
Bitcoin settled over $19 trillion in transactions in 2024. Thatâs not hypothetical liquidity. itâs real, measurable flow. Unlike traditional high-quality liquid assets (HQLAs), Bitcoin is: âĒ Available 24/7 âĒ Borderless âĒ Not dependent on central banks
By traditional definitions, Bitcoin is rapidly qualifying for HQLA status. Even if regulators arenât ready to admit it.
Diversification: Breaking the Fiat Dependency
Basel III is designed to pull banks back into the fiat matrix. But Bitcoin offers an escape hatch. Strategic Bitcoin reserves are not about speculation, theyâre insurance. For family offices, institutions, and sovereign funds, Bitcoin is the lifeboat when the fiat ship starts taking on water.
Regulatory Realignment: The System Reacts
The Basel Committeeâs new rules on crypto exposures went live in January 2025. Around the world, regulators are scrambling to define their stance. Every new restriction placed on Bitcoin only strengthens its legitimacy, as more institutions ask: Why so much resistance, if itâs not a threat?
Bitcoin doesnât need permission. Itâs already being adopted by over 150 public companies, forward-looking states, and a new class of self-sovereign individuals.
Conclusion: The Real Question
This isnât just about Bitcoin fitting into Basel III.
The real question is: How long can Basel III remain relevant in a world where Bitcoin exists?
Bitcoin is not the risk. Itâs the reality check. And it might just be the strongest capital buffer the system has ever seen.
Gradually then suddenly.

2025-05-09 18:33:06I've been eager to share my thoughts on "Return of the Strong Gods" by R.R. Reno since I finished it a week ago.
I found this book incredibly insightful. @SimpleStacker's excellent review prompted me to pick it up, and I'm glad I did. While I won't be providing a full review, I will share some of the key insights and thoughts that resonated with me.
Reno masterfully dissects the sociological underpinnings of the political shifts in the US and the Western world over the past decade and a half. His analysis of the rise of populism and nationalism is compelling and rings true to my personal observations. Reno's central thesis is that post-WW2, the West embraced "weaker gods"âideals like democracy, pluralism, and liberalismâfearing a repeat of the strong nationalistic sentiments that led to Hitler's rise. He argues that this shift has left many people feeling culturally homeless and desperate for strong leadership that listens to their grievances.
A significant portion of Reno's argument is built on the ideas of Karl Popper, a philosopher I was unfamiliar with before reading this book. Popper's work "The Open Society and Its Enemies" has significantly influenced post-war consensus, which Reno argues has led to a disconnect between the political elite and the common people. This disconnect, he posits, is a primary driver of populist sentiments.
Reno also delves into economics, discussing Friedrich Hayek and his agreement with some of Popper's positions. This intersection of philosophy and economics provides a unique lens through which to view the political landscape. Reno's mention of the Treaty of Versailles as a catalyst for Hitler's rise is a point often overlooked in discussions about WW2. He argues that the punitive measures imposed on Germany created an environment ripe for a strongman to emerge.
One of the most compelling aspects of Reno's argument is his explanation of how the political elite often lose touch with the values and wishes of the people they represent. He draws a powerful analogy between cultural homelessness and the desperation that drives people to seek strong leadership. This section of the book particularly resonated with me, as it aligns with my own observations of the political climate.
I would have liked Reno to start his analysis with Woodrow Wilson, whose "making the world safe for democracy" slogan embodied a form of Christian nationalism. Wilson's ideals and the post-WW1 environment laid the groundwork for the open society movement, which Reno critiques. Exploring this historical context could have strengthened Reno's argument.
Reno occasionally conflates economic liberalism with libertinism, which I found to be a minor flaw in an otherwise strong argument. He rightly points out the need for moral ethics in society but seems to overlook the distinction between economic freedom and moral laxity. Reno's discussion of Milton Friedman's ideas further highlights this confusion. While Reno argues that free trade has contributed to many of our modern ills, I believe the issue lies more with nation-state trade agreements like NAFTA, which are not true examples of free trade.
Another area where I disagree with Reno is his conflation of the nation with the state. Nations are cultural entities that predate and can exist independently of states. Reno's argument would be stronger if he acknowledged this distinction, as it would clarify his points about national pride and cultural heritage.
Reno's final chapters offer a cautionary tale about the return of strong gods and the danger of making them idols. He warns against authoritarianism and the overreach of the state, advocating for a balance that respects cultural heritage without succumbing to nationalism.
In conclusion, "Return of the Strong Gods" is a thought-provoking exploration of the political and cultural shifts of our time. Reno's insights are valuable, and his arguments, while not without flaws, provide a fresh perspective on the rise of populism and nationalism. I recommend this book to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the forces shaping our world today.

Wir halten uns fÞr erwacht, weil wir das Coronanarrativ durchschaut haben, regierungskritisch unterwegs sind und Russland nicht fÞr den ÃĪrgsten Feind der Demokratie halten? Wir informieren uns in alternativen und unabhÃĪngigen Medien, folgen geistigen FÞhrern und sehen SpiritualitÃĪt als einen Teil unseres Daseins auf der Erde? Vielleicht sind wir mit Meditationstechniken vertraut, machen Yoga oder nehmen bewusstseinserweiternde Substanzen zu uns? Wir denken, andere wÞrden noch schlafen, weil sie das nicht tun? Dann haben wir noch einen weiten Weg vor uns.
Aufwachen â wir tun es jeden Morgen und oft auch wÃĪhrend der Nacht. Der Kopf ist schwer, vielleicht ein wenig verwirrt, wie in einem Nebel. Die Schleier der TrÃĪume hÃĪngen noch an uns. Wir sind noch nicht ganz da und brauchen eine Dusche, einen Kaffee oder frische Luft, um langsam durchzukommen und den Tag zu beginnen. In den seltensten FÃĪllen ist es so, dass wir die Augen aufschlagen und hellwach sind, vollkommen prÃĪsent und klar. So passt die Metapher auf das, was heute auf den Bewusstseinszustand der Menschen angewendet wird.
Was bedeutet es, wach zu sein? Ein waches Bewusstsein zu haben? Was ist Bewusstsein? Eine der groÃen Referenzen fÞr Psychologie und PÃĪdagogik hat einen eher beschrÃĪnkten und materialistisch orientierten Bewusstseinsbegriff. Demnach reiche Bewusstsein nicht Þber das normale Denken hinaus. Bewusstsein habe ein Mensch immer dann, wenn er in der Lage ist, zu bedenken, ob das, was er tut, vernÞnftig ist. Das Bewusstsein sei an das Gehirn gebunden. Ein Bewusstsein ohne AktivitÃĪt von Nervenzellen im menschlichen Gehirn gebe es nicht. Das sei wissenschaftlicher Konsens. Ãber noch etwas ist man sich einig:
Nach Jahrhunderten der BemÞhung von Neurowissenschaftlern, Psychologen und Philosophen bleibt zu der Frage, wie das Gehirn uns denn Bewusstsein verleiht, wie es Empfindungen, GefÞhle und SubjektivitÃĪt entstehen lÃĪsst, nur eine Gewissheit: Wir haben keine Ahnung (1).
Mehr Ahnung haben wir, wenn es darum geht, das menschliche Bewusstsein zu manipulieren. Voraussetzung ist, die zu manipulierende Person in Unkenntnis zu lassen. Es wird ein GefÞhl von Machtlosigkeit in ihr erzeugt und ein System von Belohnung und Strafe aufgebaut, um eine autoritÃĪre Machtstruktur, die kein Feedback und keine Ãnderung ohne Zustimmung oder Anordnung der FÞhrung zulÃĪsst, zu installieren. HierfÞr ist keine Gewaltanwendung erforderlich. FÞr eine mentale Umprogrammierung reicht es, jede Form von Kritik zu unterdrÞcken und Kritiker zu diffamieren, indem man ihnen persÃķnliche Rachemotive oder menschliche SchwÃĪche andichtet (2).
Manipulation mit Angst
Angst ist eines der wirksamsten Mittel, um das Bewusstsein der Menschen zu manipulieren. Wer Angst hat, lÃĪsst sich leicht tÃĪuschen. Das Bewusstsein verengt sich regelrecht. Damit ergibt sich ein nahezu unerschÃķpflicher Fundus von Methoden zur Bewusstseinskontrolle. Welche, das erleben wir tÃĪglich: die Erschaffung einer Unterhaltungsindustrie und die Verbreitung von Filmen, in denen es vor allem um Mord, Verrat, Krankheit und Betrug geht; Medien, die maximale Verwirrung schaffen; giftige Substanzen in Nahrungsmitteln und Wasser; ein knechtendes Finanzsystem; Medikamente, von denen wir mÃķglichst frÞh und mÃķglichst lange abhÃĪngig sind.
Wer das Bewusstsein der Menschen und damit die Welt in den Griff bekommen will, fÃĪngt frÞh an. Er erfindet zum Beispiel Religionen, die sich nach MÃķglichkeit gegenseitig bekÃĪmpfen.
Er erzÃĪhlt Geschichten, in denen die eine HÃĪlfte der Menschheit der anderen per se unterlegen sein soll, erfindet GÃķtter, die die einen privilegieren und die anderen bestrafen, und ein Paradies, das irgendwoanders ist als dort, wo wir gerade sind.
Alles ist darauf ausgerichtet, dass der Mensch sich klein, unwÞrdig, schuldig und vor allem ohnmÃĪchtig fÞhlt. Auf keinen Fall darf er sich seiner angeborenen MÃķglichkeiten bewusstwerden! HierfÞr werden Kinder so frÞh wie mÃķglich von den Eltern getrennt, bekommen in staatlichen Schulen ihre KreativitÃĪt und Eigenmacht aberzogen, werden von technischen GerÃĪten abhÃĪngig gemacht und durch Geschlechterverwirrung davon abgehalten, ihre IdentitÃĪt zu entwickeln. So werden sie darauf vorbereitet, zu guten Soldaten des Systems zu werden und in jeden Krieg zu ziehen, der ihnen als notwendig verkauft wird.
Project Blue Beam
Immer mehr Menschen wissen das. Immer mehr erkennen, was auf der BÞhne des Welttheaters gespielt wird. Doch sind wir deshalb erwacht? Reicht es, alternative Medien zu konsumieren, bewusstseinserweiternde Substanzen zu sich zu nehmen und regelmÃĪÃig zu meditieren, um das eigene Bewusstsein zu entwickeln? Reichen die BÞcher, die Workshops und die charismatischen FÞhrer, die Þberall zu finden sind? Sind wir erwacht, nur weil der Nachbar noch schlÃĪft?
Wie wÞrden wir zum Beispiel reagieren, wenn das Projekt âBlue Beamâ durchgespielt werden wÞrde? NatÞrlich soll es sich hierbei um eine VerschwÃķrungstheorie handeln. Aber nur mal angenommen. Es geht darum, durch das Erschaffen einer allgemeinen Unsicherheit und Hysterie eine neue Weltordnung durchzusetzen.
In einer ersten Etappe sollen kÞnstlich erschaffene Naturkatastrophen dafÞr sorgen, dass die Menschen sÃĪmtliche religiÃķse Fundamente in Frage stellen. In einer zweiten Etappe werden mittels dreidimensionaler Hologramme verschiedene Gottesbilder in den Himmel projiziert mit dem Ziel, eine Einheitsreligion zu proklamieren. In einer dritten Etappe sollen mittels Niederfrequenzen und per Satellit GedankengÃĪnge gezielt beeinflusst werden, und in einem letzten Schritt soll die Menschheit davon Þberzeugt werden, dass in allen groÃen StÃĪdten der Welt eine Invasion AuÃerirdischer nahe bevorsteht.
Jede groÃe Nation soll dazu aufgefordert werden, ihr nukleares Potenzial als Abwehr zu benutzen. Es soll sich jedoch um ein Fake-ManÃķver handeln. Den Nationen, nun ihrer Waffen entledigt, bliebe nur noch die Hoffnung auf einen gÃķttlichen Eingriff. Alle âerwachtenâ Menschen wÞrden von âgutenâ auÃerirdischen KrÃĪften âgerettetâ und entfÞhrt werden â womit der neuen Weltordnung auf Erden nichts mehr im Wege stÞnde. Der Rest der Menschheit wÞrde mittels Þber elektronische GerÃĪte verbreiteter bÃķser Geister in den Wahnsinn und die totale Hoffnungslosigkeit getrieben werden.
Selbstwirksamkeit?
Die Geschichte ist haarstrÃĪubend. Doch wer kÃķnnte beschwÃķren, dass sie technisch nicht mÃķglich wÃĪre? Wer kÃķnnte sich sicher sein, einer False-Flag-Aktion nicht auf den Leim zu gehen? Wer kÃķnnte von sich behaupten, so erwacht, so in seinem Bewusstsein verankert zu sein, dass er sich nicht manipulieren lieÃe, wenn es darauf ankommt? Wer griffe nicht in der Verzweiflung nach einem Heiligenbild, das am Himmel aufsteigt? Wer wÃĪre erhaben Þber jede Art von Mind Control?
So mÃķge der stille werden, der sich rÞhmt, erwacht zu sein. MÃķge er sich den Schlaf aus den Augen reiben und sich an die Arbeit machen. Denn das Erwachen ist nur der allererste Schritt. Dann geht es erst richtig los.
Dann kÃķnnen wir Þben, in die Selbstwirksamkeit zu kommen: das Vertrauen in die eigenen MÃķglichkeiten, Aufgabenanforderungen wirksam zu bewÃĪltigen und auch in Extremsituationen gewÞnschte Handlungen selbst ausfÞhren zu kÃķnnen.
Die Frage ist nicht, wie erwacht wir uns im Vergleich mit anderen fÞhlen, sondern welches Selbst- und Menschenbild wir haben und wie wir von unserer natÞrlichen SchÃķpferkraft Gebrauch machen. Nicht der ist erwacht, der sich von Katastrophenmeldungen einlullen lÃĪsst und sich gemÞtlich in seinen vier WÃĪnden auf den Weltuntergang vorbereitet, sondern der, der sich darauf besinnt, dass Bewusstsein mehr ist als ein paar Synapsen im Gehirn. Er weiÃ, dass er Þber einen freien Willen verfÞgt, der ihn dazu befÃĪhigt, in eine andere Richtung zu gehen.
AuÃen wie innen
Bewusstsein hÃĪngt von keinem spirituellen FÞhrer ab und auch von keinem Gott, der in den Himmel projiziert wird. Bewusstsein ist gÃķttlich. Es ist die FÃĪhigkeit, Dinge wahr-zu-nehmen, ihren Wahrheitsgehalt zu erkennen, die Gabe, aus sich heraus feinfÞhlig zu sein, hellsichtig, verstehend. Im individuellen Bewusstsein sind das Menschliche und das GÃķttliche eins. Nichts steht trennend dazwischen. Niemand muss die Erlaubnis fÞr diesen Erkenntnisprozess geben.
Wer bei Bewusstsein ist, den kann man nicht in ein GedankengefÃĪngnis einsperren oder ihn mit Hierarchien beeindrucken. Er weiÃ, dass das Wesentliche sich im Innen abspielt und dass allein er fÞr das verantwortlich ist, was er erlebt.
Ein hoch entwickeltes Bewusstsein bedeutet, sich von jeder Erwartung zu lÃķsen, dass sich im AuÃen etwas ÃĪndert. Wer sich auf das AuÃen konzentriert, der hat schon verloren. Er drÞckt sich selbst den Stempel der Ohnmacht und des Mangels auf oder befeuert die Kriegsmaschinerie, die alles in die ZerstÃķrung treibt.
Im Inneren gilt es, fÞr Harmonie zu sorgen und sich auf die Frequenzen des SchÃķpferischen einzustellen. So darf sich jeder fragen: Wie sieht es bei mir aus? Bin ich von Menschen umgeben, die mich erniedrigen oder die mich erhÃķhen? Lebe ich das Leben, das ich mir wÞnsche? Bin ich im Mangel oder im Ãberfluss? Bin ich krank oder gesund? Ãngstlich oder vertrauend? Zynisch oder liebevoll? Wie halte ich es? Wie ist meine Stimmung? Wie fÞhle ich mich in dieser Zeit, in dieser Welt? Wage ich es, Nein zu sagen, wenn alle Ja sagen, und Ja, wenn alle Nein sagen?
Wie selbstwirksam bin ich? Wie benutze ich die mir angeborene SchÃķpferkraft? Lasse ich mit mir machen oder mache ich selbst? Welche Menschen und Ereignisse ziehe ich an? Auf welcher Ebene schwingt meine Energie? Mit welchen KrÃĪften stehe ich in Kontakt? Welche Informationen empfange ich? Wie viel IndividualitÃĪt wage ich? Nicht eine IndividualitÃĪt, die andere ausschlieÃt, sondern eine, die alles miteinschlieÃt und von dem Bewusstsein geleitet wird, dass alles eins ist.
FÞhle ich mich getrennt oder verbunden? FÞhle ich, dass ich unteilbar bin: in-dividuum? SpÞre ich, wie ich aus der Kraft dieser Unteilbarkeit heraus unermessliche MÃķglichkeiten habe, mein Leben und damit die Welt zu gestalten? Bin ich wirklich erwacht oder halte ich mich nur fÞr etwas Besseres, um bei der nÃĪchstbesten Gelegenheit genau das zu tun, was ich an anderen kritisiert habe: mein Heil von auÃen zu erwarten?
Angst- oder Christusmatrix?
Was auch kommt in der nÃĪchsten Zeit: Es wird uns Þberraschen. Jede Menge MÃķglichkeiten wird es geben, in denen wir unser Bewusstsein und unsere IndividualitÃĪt auf die Probe stellen kÃķnnen. Auf uns kommt es an! Jeder Mensch, der sich selbst aus der Ohnmacht befreit, befreit auch die Welt ein wenig mehr. Jeder, der sich nicht von schlechten Nachrichten nach unten ziehen lÃĪsst, jeder, der darauf achtet, seine Energie mÃķglichst hoch schwingen zu lassen, jeder, der in sich selbst die LÃķsung sucht, ist ein Segen fÞr diese Zeit, ein Tor fÞr das GÃķttliche auf Erden.
GÃķttlich, so die Bewusstseinstrainerin Sandra Weber, ist alles, was natÞrlich ist, alles, was liebt, was pulsiert, leuchtet und verbunden ist. Wir haben die Wahl, uns per Genmanipulation und kÞnstlicher Intelligenz (KI) immer mehr entmenschlichen zu lassen oder unser multidimensionales Potenzial zu entdecken, unsere FÃĪhigkeit zu Telepathie, Telekinese und Teleportation. Angst- oder Christusmatrix â wofÞr entscheiden wir uns? Lassen wir durch KI die eigene LichtkÃķrperaktivierung unterbrechen oder wÃĪhlen wir die Erhebung und das Vertrauen in unsere GÃķttlichkeit (3)?
Von hier aus kÃķnnen wir die BÞhne Þberblicken. Wir erkennen: Wir mÞssen da nicht mitmachen. Wir mÞssen nicht in das Welttheater einsteigen. Wir mÞssen nicht die Lichtschwerter auspacken und fÞr das Gute kÃĪmpfen. Das Gute kÃĪmpft nicht. Das Gute ist. Was wir tun kÃķnnen, ist, uns von den Altlasten zu befreien, die uns unten halten, innere KÃĪmpfe ein fÞr alle Mal zu befrieden und unsere Schatten ins Licht zu bringen.
Erleuchtung ist, wenn die inneren Schatten aufgelÃķst sind und man alles Þberblicken kann. Er-innern wir uns. Gehen wir nach innen und bauen wir hier unsere Tempel.
Fassen wir den Mut, wir selbst zu sein. Gehen wir in unsere Herzensmitte, werden wir uns der Bewertungen bewusst, mit der wir unsere Welt in Gut und BÃķse einteilen, und nehmen wir einen neutralen Standpunkt ein. So kommen wir aus der DualitÃĪt zurÞck in die PolaritÃĪt, aus einer Welt, in der sich die Dinge gegenseitig vernichten, in eine Welt, in der sie sich ergÃĪnzen und kreativ zusammenwirken.

2025-05-09 17:01:36A francia szÃĐkhelyÅą Newcleo, az olasz dizÃĄjncÃĐg Pininfarina ÃĐs az olasz hajÃģgyÃĄrtÃģ Fincantieri bemutattÃĄk a TL-40 nevÅą, kÃķvetkezÅ generÃĄciÃģs, hajÃģkra szÃĄnt nukleÃĄris reaktor teljes mÃĐretÅą modelljÃĐt a 19. Velencei ÃpÃtÃĐszeti BiennÃĄlÃĐn[1][2][5][6][7].
A TL-40 reaktor fÅbb jellemzÅi
- IV. generÃĄciÃģs, Ãģlom-hÅątÃĐsÅą kis modulÃĄris reaktor (SMR), amelyet nagy hajÃģk meghajtÃĄsÃĄra fejlesztettek ki[1][2][5][6].
- Kompakt, biztonsÃĄgos ÃĐs fenntarthatÃģ: A reaktor passzÃv biztonsÃĄgi rendszereket alkalmaz, amelyek a fizika tÃķrvÃĐnyein keresztÞl kizÃĄrjÃĄk a nukleÃĄris balesetek lehetÅsÃĐgÃĐt[2][5][6].
- NukleÃĄris hulladÃĐk ÚjrahasznosÃtÃĄsa: A TL-40 kÃĐpes Újrafeldolgozott nukleÃĄris hulladÃĐkot ÞzemanyagkÃĐnt hasznÃĄlni, ezzel egyszerre jÃĄrul hozzÃĄ az energiatermelÃĐshez ÃĐs a hulladÃĐkcsÃķkkentÃĐshez[1][2][5][6].
- FormatervezÃĐs ÃĐs ipari hÃĄttÃĐr: A Pininfarina gondoskodott a dizÃĄjnrÃģl ÃĐs a reaktor esztÃĐtikai megjelenÃĐsÃĐrÅl, mÃg a Fincantieri a hajÃģgyÃĄrtÃĄsi tapasztalatÃĄt adta hozzÃĄ[1][2][5][6][7].
- Nyitott konfigurÃĄciÃģ: A reaktor vÃĄzÃĄja lehetÅvÃĐ teszi a lÃĄtogatÃģk szÃĄmÃĄra, hogy belÞlrÅl is megismerjÃĐk a technolÃģgiÃĄt, interaktÃv mÃģdon[1][2][5].
TechnolÃģgiai ÃĐs kÃķrnyezeti jelentÅsÃĐg
- DekarbonizÃĄciÃģ: A fejlesztÃĐs cÃĐlja, hogy a nukleÃĄris energiÃĄt a hajÃģzÃĄs szektorÃĄban is a szÃĐn-dioxid-kibocsÃĄtÃĄs csÃķkkentÃĐsÃĐnek eszkÃķzekÃĐnt alkalmazzÃĄk[1][2][5][6].
- EurÃģpai hulladÃĐk hasznosÃtÃĄsa: A jelenleg EurÃģpÃĄban tÃĄrolt nukleÃĄris hulladÃĐk elegendÅ lenne a kontinens villamosenergia-igÃĐnyÃĐnek fedezÃĐsÃĐre ÃĐvszÃĄzadokon ÃĄt, ha ilyen tÃpusÚ reaktorokban hasznosÃtanÃĄk[2][5][6].
- KreatÃv szemlÃĐlet: A projekt cÃĐlja a nukleÃĄris energia tÃĄrsadalmi megÃtÃĐlÃĐsÃĐnek javÃtÃĄsa, bemutatva, hogy az lehet egyszerre biztonsÃĄgos, esztÃĐtikus ÃĐs fenntarthatÃģ[1][5][6][7].
EgyÞttmÅąkÃķdÃĐs ÃĐs jÃķvÅbeli tervek
- Folyamatos egyÞttmÅąkÃķdÃĐs: A Newcleo ÃĐs a Fincantieri 2023 Ãģta dolgoznak egyÞtt a tengeri alkalmazÃĄsok fejlesztÃĐsÃĐn[2][5][6][7].
- KutatÃĄs-fejlesztÃĐs: A Pininfarina a Newcleo franciaorszÃĄgi (Chusclan) nukleÃĄris Þzemanyag kutatÃģ-fejlesztÅ kÃķzpontjÃĄnak tervezÃĐsÃĐben is rÃĐszt vesz[2][5][6][7].
- ElsÅ demonstrÃĄciÃģs reaktor: A Newcleo cÃĐlja, hogy 2031-re bemutassa az elsÅ demonstrÃĄciÃģs reaktort, 2033-ra pedig kereskedelmi forgalomba hozza azt[8].
- FÃķldi alkalmazÃĄs: A vÃĄllalat mÃĄr megkezdte a fÃķldi, Ãģlom-hÅątÃĐsÅą LFR-AS-30 reaktor telephelyÃĐnek elÅkÃĐszÃtÃĐsÃĐt FranciaorszÃĄgban (Chinon rÃĐgiÃģ)[8].
- EurÃģpai tÃĄmogatÃĄs: Az LFR dizÃĄjn 2024 oktÃģberÃĐben felkerÞlt az EurÃģpai Ipari SzÃķvetsÃĐg tÃĄmogatÃĄsra javasolt SMR-listÃĄjÃĄra[8].
IdÃĐzetek a projekt vezetÅitÅl
âEz nem a nagyapÃĄink reaktora. FenntarthatÃģ, elÅremutatÃģ technolÃģgia, amely a valÃģ vilÃĄg ÃĐs a klÃmavÃĄltozÃĄs kihÃvÃĄsaira kÃĐszÞlt.â
(Stefano Buono, a Newcleo vezÃĐrigazgatÃģja)[1][5][6][7]âA dizÃĄjn stratÃĐgiai szerepet jÃĄtszik a fenntarthatÃģ energia megoldÃĄsok fejlesztÃĐsÃĐben, biztosÃtva a tÃĄrsadalmi ÃĐs kÃķrnyezeti szempontok teljes integrÃĄciÃģjÃĄt az innovÃĄciÃģs folyamat sorÃĄn.â

2025-05-06 06:00:25Album art didnât always exist. In the early 1900s, recorded music was still a novelty, overshadowed by sales of sheet music. Early vinyl records were vastly different from what we think of today: discs were sold individually and could only hold up to four minutes of music per side. Sometimes, only one side of the record was used. One of the most popular records of 1910, for example, was âCome, Josephine, in My Flying Machineâ: it clocked in at two minutes and 39 seconds.
The invention of album art can get lost in the story of technological mastery. But among all the factors that contributed to the rise of recorded music, it stands as one of the few that was wholly driven by creators themselves. Album art â first as marketing material, then as pure creative expression â turned an audio-only medium into a multi-sensory experience.
This is the story of the people who made music visible.

2025-05-09 16:13:34Bitcoin controversies are not new, in fact, bitcoinâs past has been riddled with one controversy after another. From the viewpoint of a financial investor, controversies are not good. They drive investor fear by amplifying uncertainty and introducing doubt about the future viability of the project. Although bitcoin is an investable asset, and there are certainly individuals, companies and countries who are investing in bitcoin strictly as a new, diversified financial asset that shows growth characteristics the likes of which humanity has rarely seen, bitcoin is not exclusively a financial instrument. Bitcoin is a network that is only as strong as the people running the miners who create the blocks, the nodes that propagate the blocks, and the users who hold the keys.
In this post I do not care to share my view on any of the latest bitcoin controversies, whether that be about OP_RETURNs, MSTR, Blackrock, MSTY, inscriptions, soft fork proposals, mempools, bitcoin strategic reserves, 21, chain surveillance, on-chain privacy, shitcoins projects, or anything else that anyone cares to opine about on Nostr or X to signal their support or opposition for what they think is critical to the success or failure of bitcoin. What I do care to share here is the ONLY winning strategy to defend bitcoin no matter what your opinion its future: USE THE TOOLS, RUN THE CODE, HOLD YOUR KEYS, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
In my humble opinion, the biggest problem with the current batch of bitcoin controversies is that so many people are sharing their opinions and expressing their fears about the future of bitcoin who are not even using the tools; they arenât running the code, supporting the network or even holding their own keys. Everyone is free to share their opinions about the future of bitcoin and allowing everyone a voice is critical if we are serious about adopting the best ideas. Many visionaries have participated in the growth and development of bitcoin up to this point; we are truly standing on the shoulders of giants.
But before jumping to conclusions and spreading opinions about whether people are good faith or bad faith actors in the bitcoin space, I believe we should all hold ourselves to a certain standard. Set a minimum threshold of education for yourself before you jump on one side or the other of the latest controversy. We have tools that offer a level of sovereignty that is unparalleled in the legacy financial world, are you using them?Donât like what MSTR is doing? Hold your keys in cold storage, then share your opinion.
Think Blackrock wants to use Bitcoin to launch a dystopian new world order agenda? Tell everyone to run a node, implement on-chain privacy strategies and hold their keys in cold storage.
Are Bitcoin developers making changes you donât like? Use an alternative implementation, get a Bitaxe and construct your own block templates; for almost everyone this will be a stronger signal than shitposting or spreading FUD on the socials.
If you really want to defend bitcoin, think about how you are using it today. Who are you trusting to put your transactions into a block? Who are you trusting to propagate your transactions across the network? Who are you trusting to hold your keys? Who estimates your transaction fees? If you donât trust the people who you are currently depending on, move your trust elsewhere, or increase your sovereignty and rely on yourself for some, or all, of these functions.
We make bitcoin what it is today, and we will define what bitcoin will be in the future. If we want to defend bitcoin it is our responsibility to keep it as decentralized as possible and that starts with every individual using the tools, running the code, doing the research and taking responsibility for their money.

2025-05-10 11:12:09***SatiretÞchtigkeit***
Deutschland hat den Satirikern den Krieg erklÃĪrt, in dem es RealitÃĪten schafft, die die Phantasie der Autoren Þberbieten soll. Dazu hat das neu geschaffene Satireministerium die SatiretÞchtigkeit ganz oben auf die Agenda gesetzt.
***Notlage***
Die Notlage in Deutschland ist in eine Notlage geraten. Das Ausrufen einer Notlage ist Gebot der Stunde, in der die Notlage der Notlage bekÃĪmpft werden kann.
***Grenzsicherung***
Nachdem als eine der ersten Amtshandlungen die deutschen AuÃengrenzen neu vermessen worden sind, hat sich herausgestellt, dass die Grenzen nur gesichert offenbleiben kÃķnnen. Der Bundesgrenzschutz hat ab sofort die Aufgabe Þbernommen, auslÃĪndisches CO2 an der Grenze aufzuhalten.
***Demokratiebeleidigungsparagraph***
Nach intensiver Recherche des Verfassungsschutzes hat sich herausgestellt, dass die Opposition die seinerzeitige Bundesregierung als âDiktaturâ und âtotalitÃĪrâ bezeichnet hat. Das ist Demokratiebeleidigung. Ein neuer Paragraph ist bereits in der Ausarbeitung.
***Einhaltung des Koalitionsvertrags***
Aus gesicherten Quellen ist durchgesickert, dass der erste Bundeskanzler zweiter Wahl nun doch nicht sein Amt wahrnehmen will, weil das so nicht im Koalitionsvertrag steht. SchlieÃlich halte man sich an selbigen und die GlaubwÞrdigkeit dÞrfe unter keinen UmstÃĪnden infrage gestellt werden.
***Bundesamt fÞr Fassungslosigkeit***
Das Bundesamt fÞr Verfassungsschutz soll nach dem Willen der BÞrger in Bundesamt fÞr Fassungslosigkeit umbenannt werden. Es soll ein deutliches Zeichen gesetzt werden, dass BÞrgerbeteiligung in Zukunft ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Politik sein wird.
***BrÞssel â Zentrum Belgiens***
Der Bundeskanzler mit Blackrock-Hintergrund hat als eine seiner ersten Amtshandlungen die Neugestaltung des Finanzmarktes in BrÞssel angeregt. Der Euro soll in den allermeisten EuropÃĪischen Staaten durch den Blackrock-Taler ersetzt werden.
***Salutokratie***
Die WHO hat grÃķÃte Zustimmung bei der EinfÞhrung der Salutokratie erfahren. Die EuropÃĪer jubeln und ziehen zu Tausenden mit der EU-Fahne durch die europÃĪischen HauptstÃĪdte. Auf vielen Plakaten ist der folgende Text zu lesen: Die Pharmaindustrie ist ein wichtiger Wirtschaftszweig. Durch unsere Erkrankungen tragen wir einen wichtigen Teil dazu bei, dass sie zu unserem Wohle weiter forschen und neue Medikamente auf den Markt bringen kann.
***Elektronische Patientenakte***
Nach fÞr die Ãrzte verpflichtender EinfÞhrung der elektronischen Patientenakte konnten letzte LÞcken in der Datenoffenheit beseitigt werden. Eine vollstÃĪndige Transparenz ist jetzt fÞr jedermann gewÃĪhrleistet. Die Krankenkassen jubeln, weil Ferndiagnosen noch effizienter praktiziert werden kÃķnnen.
***Ãbermenschliche Leistungen***
Die neue Wirtschaftsministerin hat ihre eigene Messlatte sehr hoch angelegt. Sie will die Þbermenschlichen Leistungen ihres VorgÃĪngers noch Þbermenschlicher Þbertreffen. Ihre Mitarbeiter arbeiten fieberhaft an einer neuen WortschÃķpfung, die Þber den Begriff Ãbermenschlichkeit hinausgeht. Es ist grÃķÃte Eile geboten, da eine Neuwahl der Regierung schon in den nÃĪchsten Monaten zu erwarten ist.
***Lieferprobleme***
Der brutale Umzug der ehemaligen AuÃen-Dings in die genderunfreundlichen USA verzÃķgert sich, weil ein bekanntes Versandunternehmen die Lieferkette von feministischen Umzugskartons nicht nachweisen kann. AuÃerdem wurde von LagerengpÃĪssen fÞr die bevorstehende Auslieferung mobiler Toiletten nach Afrika berichtet.
***Erwischt***
Der ehemalige Corona-Minister II. wurde auf der RÞckfahrt nach Berlin (1. Klasse, die ist noch pÞnktlich) dabei gesehen, wie er im Bistro-Wagen mit Genuss eine leicht versalzene Bockwurst gegessen hat. Nach Ankunft in Berlin musste der Vorrat an erlesenem, durstlÃķschendem Rotwein aufgefÞllt werden.
***Verkauf aus GewissensgrÞnden***
Der Corona-Minister I. bekannt und berÞhmt geworden durch seine kaufmÃĪnnisch geschickt eingefÃĪdelten Masken-Deals in bedarfsgerechter Anzahl, sucht derzeit nach einem KÃĪufer fÞr seine bescheidene HÞtte in Hamburg, weil er mit dem ErlÃķs den bankkaufmanntechnischen GewinnÞberhang ausgleichen will.
***Drohnennahverkehr***
Das zu verstaatlichende Staatsunternehmen Bahn will spÃĪtestens 2028 den Drohnennahverkehr im Halbstundentakt bundesweit einfÞhren. In einer Pressekonferenz wurde bekannt, dass man mit den Logistikfragen im Umgang mit den angeschlossenen Glasfaserkabeln schon sehr groÃe Fortschritte gemacht habe.
***Merz-Frisur***
Vollhaar-Inhaber in der CDU wollen sich zur UnterstÞtzung und als Zeichen der LoyalitÃĪt eine Merz-Frisur bei einem bekannten Star-Friseur schneiden lassen. Die Wartezeiten betragen derzeit rund 5 Tage. Die Friseur-Innung arbeitet an einem Schnellkurs: Merz-Frisur-tÞchtig in drei Wochen!
***Bestsellerliste***
Die ehemalige Bundesmutti hat weitere Prosa in zwei BÃĪnden angekÞndigt: Die Titel lauten âEinigkeitâ und âRechtâ. Derzeit laufen die Maschinen der papierverarbeitenden Hygieneindustrie auf Hochtouren (gut fÞr die Wirtschaft!), da die Bestellliste schon 1000 Seiten lang ist, die jedoch aufgrund der Gleichbehandlung nicht verÃķffentlicht werden kann.
***Autoindustrie mehrheitlich positiv***
Die UmsÃĪtze der deutschen Autoindustrie sollen angeblich um rund 30% eingebrochen sein. Das bedeutet, dass die Mehrheit, also rund 70% noch vorhanden ist, was fÞr die Wirtschaft allgemein sehr gute Nachrichten sind. AuÃerdem kÃķnnen freie KapazitÃĪten jetzt zur Produktion von Tankfahrzeugen fÞr Panzer genutzt werden.
***Unterbringungsprobleme gelÃķst***
Durch die anhaltende Insolvenzwelle deutscher Unternehmen werden Werkshallen frei, die in kÞrzester Zeit zu weltoffenen UnterkÞnften umgebaut werden. Erfahrungen aus der Plattenbauweise der ehemaligen DDR konnten hier erfolgreich eingesetzt werden.
***PandemiebekÃĪmpfung***
Deutschland ist zepterhaltend in PrÃĪventionsmaÃnahmen fÞr zukÞnftig geplante Pandemien. FederfÞhrend soll das virenverseuchte Bargeld stufenweise abgeschafft werden. Ein neues Panik-Paper sieht bereits seiner gut durchdachten Vollendung entgegen.
***Verband der Schreib-FachkrÃĪfte***
Der in Anlehnung des bekannten Satzes von Peter Scholl-Latour formulierte Satz: -Wer Begriffe wie âKriegstÞchtigkeitâ und âHass und Hetzeâ aus dunklen Zeiten verwendet, wird selbst zur dunklen Zeit-, wurde vom Verband der Schreib-FachkrÃĪfte als umstritten eingeordnet.
***Leitkultur***
Experten fÞr den unfallfreien Verzehr von Bananen haben in einer teleskopierten Studie herausgefunden, dass das Wort Leitkultur aus den Worten Leitkuh und Kultur kÞnstlich in einem franzÃķsischen Labor fÞr Gain-of-Word-Forschung zusammengesetzt wurde. Beweis dafÞr ist das fehlende Ha, das so in der Natur nicht vorkommt. Der Laborsprung konnte so eindeutig nachgewiesen werden.
***Reformvorschlag***
Bisher galt: Alle BÞrgerrechte sind Abwehrrechte gegen den Staat. In einer Ausschusstagung soll jetzt darÞber befunden werden, ob diese Formulierung aus GrÞnden der Delegitimierung des Staates nicht geÃĪndert werden kann. Der Reformvorschlag lautet: In einer angestrebten Unseredemokratie soll die Hoheit Þber die Abwehrrechte der BÞrger beim Staat liegen. In demokratischen Einzelverfahren soll darÞber entschieden werden, wann und in welchem Umfang sie gegen die BÞrger zur Anwendung kommen sollen.

2025-05-06 05:49:01I donât like garlic. Itâs not a dislike for the taste in the moment, so much as an extreme dislike for the way it stays with youâsometimes for daysâafter a particularly garlicky meal.
Interestingly enough, both of my brothers love garlic. They roast it by itself and keep it at the ready so they can have a very strong garlic profile in their cooking. When I prepare a dish, I donât even see garlic on the ingredient list. Iâve cut it out of my life so completely that my brain genuinely skips over it in recipes. While my brothers are looking for ways to sneak garlic into everything they make, Iâm subconsciously avoiding it altogether.
A few years back, when I was digging intensely into how design systems mature, I stumbled on the concept of a design system origin story. There are two extreme origin stories and an infinite number of possibilities between. On one hand you have the grassroots system, where individuals working on digital products are simply trying to solve their own daily problems. Theyâre frustrated with having to go cut and paste elements from past designs or with recreating the same layouts over and over, so they start to work more systematically. On the other hand, you have the top down system, where leadership is directing teams to take a more systematic approach, often forming a small partially dedicated core team to tackle some centralized assets and guidelines for all to follow. The influences in those early days bias a design system in interesting and impactful ways.
Weâve established that there are a few types of bias that are either intentionally or unintentionally embedded into our design systems. Acknowledging this is a great first step. But, whatâs the impact of this? Does it matter?
I believe there are a few impacts design system biases, but thereâs one that stands out. The bias in your design system makes some individuals feel the system is meant for them and others feel itâs not. This is a problem because, a design system cannot live up to itâs expected value until it is broadly in use. If individuals feel your design system is not for them, the wonât use it. And, as you know, it doesnât matter how good your design system is if nobody is using it.

2025-05-09 15:58:44I know, I know, this is really throw together. The boot dryer/warmer is actually just balancing on there. I need to design (or have designed) something WAY simpler and just print that.
...But does it work? YES! It works like...really well!
Here's the original product:
It was on clearance at Home Depot, and I was like, "wouldn't that be more efficient if it came with a bitcoin rebate?" Anyway, anybody here do CAD design? I'm sure this would be way more efficient if I just had the tubes and not the whole box. My next step will be to gut the innards of that box, but it'd be better to just start off with something clean.

2025-05-06 01:37:28I 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:
- Users specify which media server(s) they use via their public Blossom settings published on Nostr;
- All files are uniquely addressable via hashes;
- 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:
- 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.
- File hosting redundancy. Having multiple live copies of referenced media files (via Blossom mirroring) greatly increases the resiliency of media content published on Nostr.
- Censorship resistance. Blossom enables us to seamlessly switch media hosting providers in case of censorship.
Thanks for reading; and enjoy! ðļ

2025-05-05 05:15:02Crabtree's Framework for Evaluating Human-Centered Research
Picture this: You've spent three weeks conducting qualitative research for a finance app redesign. You carefully recruited 12 participants, conducted in-depth interviews, and identified patterns around financial anxiety and decision paralysis. You're excited to present your findings when the inevitable happens:
"But are these results statistically significant?"
"Just 12 people? How can we make decisions that affect thousands of users based on conversations with just 12 people?"
As UX professionals, we regularly face stakeholders who evaluate our qualitative research using criteria designed for quantitative methods... This misalignment undermines the unique value qualitative research brings to product development.

2025-05-09 13:56:57Someone asked for my thoughts, so Iâll share them thoughtfully. Iâm not here to dictate how to promote NostrâIâm still learning about it myself. While Iâm not new to Nostr, freedom tech is a newer space for me. Iâm skilled at advocating for topics I deeply understand, but freedom tech isnât my expertise, so take my words with a grain of salt. Nothing I say is set in stone.
Those who need Nostr the most are the ones most vulnerable to censorship on other platforms right now. Reaching them requires real-time awareness of global issues and the dynamic relationships between governments and tech providers, which can shift suddenly. Effective Nostr promoters must grasp this and adapt quickly.
The best messengers are people from or closely tied to these at-risk regionsâthose who truly understand the local political and cultural dynamics. They can connect with those in need when tensions rise. Ideal promoters are rational, trustworthy, passionate about Nostr, but above all, dedicated to amplifying peopleâs voices when it matters most.
Forget influencers, corporate-backed figures, or traditional online PRâit comes off as inauthentic, corny, desperate and forced. Nostrâs promotion should be grassroots and organic, driven by a few passionate individuals who believe in Nostr and the communities they serve.
The idea that âpeople wonât join Nostr due to lack of reachâ is nonsense. Everyone knows Xâs âreachâ is mostly with bots. If humans want real conversations, Nostr is the place. X is great for propaganda, but Nostr is for the authentic voices of the people.
Those spreading Nostr must be so passionate theyâre willing to onboard others, which is time-consuming but rewarding for the right person. Theyâll need to make Nostr and onboarding a core part of who they are. I see no issue with that level of dedication. Iâve been known to get that way myself at times. Itâs fun for some folks.
With love, I suggest not adding Bitcoin promotion with Nostr outreach. Zaps already integrate that element naturally. (Still promote within the Bitcoin ecosystem, but this is about reaching vulnerable voices who needed Nostr yesterday.)
To promote Nostr, forget conventional strategies. âInfluencersâ arenât the answer. âInfluencersâ are not the future. A trusted local community member has real influenceâreach them. Connect with people seeking Nostrâs benefits but lacking the technical language to express it. This means some in the Nostr community might need to step outside of the Bitcoin bubble, which is uncomfortable but necessary. Thank you in advance to those who are willing to do that.
I donât know who is paid to promote Nostr, if anyone. This piece isnât shade. But itâs exhausting to see innocent voices globally silenced on corporate platforms like X while Nostr exists. Last night, I wondered: how many more voices must be censored before the Nostr community gets uncomfortable and thinks creatively to reach the vulnerable?
A warning: the global need for censorship-resistant social media is undeniable. If Nostr doesnât make itself known, something else will fill that void. Letâs start this conversation.

2025-05-10 10:38:56Description: Just as Bitcoin enabled sovereignty over money, a decentralized shipping protocol would enable sovereignty over trade. An LN/Bisq inspired shipping protocol could create an unstoppable free market.
Bitcoin gave us monetary sovereignty, freeing us from central bank manipulation, inflation, and censorship. But there's a missing link in our freedom journey: the physical world of goods.
The Problem: Even with Bitcoin, global trade remains at the mercy of: - Arbitrary tariffs and import restrictions - Political censorship of goods - Privacy invasion of shipping information - Centralized shipping carriers
The Vision: A decentralized shipping protocol with these properties:
- "Onion-routed" packages: Each carrier only knows the previous and next hop
- Bitcoin-secured multi-sig escrow: Funds locked until package delivery confirmed
- Incentive alignment: Carriers set their own fees based on risk assessment
- Privacy tiers: Options for inspected vs. sealed packages with appropriate pricing
- End-to-end sovereignty: Sender and receiver maintain control, intermediate carriers just fulfill their role
How it could work:
- Sender creates shipping request with package details and destination
- Protocol finds optimal route through independent carriers
- Each hop secured by multi-sig deposits larger than package value
- Carriers only see next hop, not ultimate destination
- Reputation systems and economic incentives maintain integrity
This creates a free market where any individual can participate as a carrier, earning Bitcoin for facilitating trade. Just like Lightning Network nodes, anyone can open "channels" with trusted partners.
Impact: This would enable true free market principles globally, making artificial trade barriers obsolete and empowering individuals to engage in voluntary exchange regardless of geographic or political boundaries.
There are a lot of challenges. But the first question is if this is a real problem and if its worth solving it.
What components would need development first? How would you solve the physical handoff challenges?

2025-05-02 20:05:22Du bist recht appetitlich oben anzuschauen, \ doch unten hin die Bestie macht mir Grauen. \ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Wie wenig bekÃķmmlich sogenannte ÂŦUltra-Processed FoodsÂŧ wie Fertiggerichte, abgepackte Snacks oder Softdrinks sind, hat kÞrzlich eine neue Studie untersucht. Derweil kann Fleisch auch wegen des Einsatzes antimikrobieller Mittel in der Massentierhaltung ein Problem darstellen. Internationale BemÞhungen, diesen Gebrauch zu reduzieren, um die Antibiotikaresistenz bei Menschen einzudÃĪmmen, sind nun mÃķglicherweise gefÃĪhrdet.
Leider ist Politik oft mindestens genauso unappetitlich und ungesund wie diverse Lebensmittel. Die ÂŦCorona-ZeitÂŧ und ihre Auswirkungen sind ein beredtes Beispiel. Der ThÞringer Landtag diskutiert gerade den Entwurf eines ÂŦCoronamaÃnahmen-UnrechtsbereinigungsgesetzesÂŧ und das kanadische Gesundheitsministerium versucht, tausende EntschÃĪdigungsantrÃĪge wegen Impfnebenwirkungen mit dem Budget von 75 Millionen Dollar unter einen Hut zu bekommen. In den USA soll die Zulassung von Covid-ÂŦImpfstoffenÂŧ Þberdacht werden, wÃĪhrend man sich mit China um die Herkunft des Virus streitet.
Wo Corona-Verbrecher von Medien und Justiz gedeckt werden, verfolgt man AufklÃĪrer und Aufdecker mit aller HÃĪrte. Der Anwalt und MitbegrÞnder des Corona-Ausschusses Reiner Fuellmich, der seit Oktober 2023 in Untersuchungshaft sitzt, wurde letzte Woche zu drei Jahren und neun Monaten verurteilt â wegen Veruntreuung. Am Mittwoch teilte der von vielen Impfschadensprozessen bekannte Anwalt Tobias Ulbrich mit, dass er vom Staatsschutz verfolgt wird und sich daher kÞnftig nicht mehr Ãķffentlich ÃĪuÃern werde.
Von der kommenden deutschen Bundesregierung aus WÃĪhlerbetrÞgern, Transatlantikern, Corona-Hardlinern und Russenhassern kann unmÃķglich eine Verbesserung erwartet werden. Nina Warken beispielsweise, die das Ressort Gesundheit Þbernehmen soll, diffamierte MaÃnahmenkritiker als ÂŦCoronaleugnerÂŧ und forderte eine Impfpflicht, da die wundersamen Injektionen angeblich ÂŦnachweislich helfenÂŧ. Laut dem designierten AuÃenminister Johann Wadephul wird Russland ÂŦfÞr uns immer der FeindÂŧ bleiben. Deswegen will er die Ukraine ÂŦnicht verlieren lassenÂŧ und sieht die BevÃķlkerung hinter sich, solange nicht deutsche Soldaten dort sterben kÃķnnten.
Eine wichtige Personalie ist auch die des kÞnftigen Regierungssprechers. Wenngleich Hebestreit an Arroganz schwer zu Þberbieten sein wird, dÞrfte sich die Art der Kommunikation mit Stefan Kornelius in der Sache kaum ÃĪndern. Der Politikchef der SÞddeutschen Zeitung ÂŦprÃĪgte den Meinungsjournalismus der SZÂŧ und schrieb ÂŦin dieser Rolle auch fÞr die Titel der TamediaÂŧ. Allerdings ist, anders als noch vor zehn Jahren, die Einbindung von Journalisten in Thinktanks wie die Deutsche Atlantische Gesellschaft (DAG) ja heute eher eine Empfehlung als ein Problem.
Ungesund ist definitiv auch die totale Digitalisierung, nicht nur im Gesundheitswesen. Lauterbachs Abschiedsgeschenk, die ÂŦabgesicherteÂŧ elektronische Patientenakte (ePA) ist vÃķllig Þberraschenderweise direkt nach dem Bundesstart erneut gehackt worden. Norbert HÃĪring kommentiert angesichts der Datenlecks, wer die ePA nicht abwÃĪhle, kÃķnne seine Gesundheitsdaten ebensogut auf Facebook posten.
Dass die staatlichen Kontrolleure so wenig auf freie Software und dezentrale LÃķsungen setzen, verdeutlicht die eigentlichen Intentionen hinter der Digitalisierungswut. Um Sicherheit und SouverÃĪnitÃĪt geht es ihnen jedenfalls nicht â sonst gÃĪbe es zum Beispiel mehr UnterstÞtzung fÞr Bitcoin und fÞr Initiativen wie die der Spar-SupermÃĪrkte in der Schweiz.

2025-04-25 20:06:24Die Wahrheit verletzt tiefer als jede Beleidigung. \ Marquis de Sade
Sagen Sie niemals ÂŦTerroristin B.Âŧ, ÂŦSchwachkopf H.Âŧ, ÂŦkorrupter Drecksack S.Âŧ oder ÂŦMeinungsfreiheitshasserin F.Âŧ und verkneifen Sie sich Memes, denn so etwas kÃķnnte Ihnen als Beleidigung oder Verleumdung ausgelegt werden und rechtliche Konsequenzen haben. Auch mit einer Frau M.-A. S.-Z. ist in dieser Beziehung nicht zu spaÃen, sie gehÃķrt zu den Top-Anzeigenstellern.
ÂŦPolitikerbeleidigungÂŧ als Straftatbestand wurde 2021 im Kampf gegen ÂŦRechtsextremismus und HasskriminalitÃĪtÂŧ in Deutschland eingefÞhrt, damals noch unter der Regierung Merkel. Im Gesetz nicht festgehalten ist die Unterscheidung zwischen schlechter Hetze und guter Hetze â trotzdem ist das gÃĪngige Praxis, wie der Titel fast schon nahelegt.
So dÞrfen Sie als Politikerin heute den Tesla als ÂŦNazi-AutoÂŧ bezeichnen und dies ausdrÞcklich auf den FirmengrÞnder Elon Musk und dessen ÂŦrechtsextreme PositionenÂŧ beziehen, welche Sie nicht einmal belegen mÞssen. [1] Vielleicht ernten Sie Proteste, jedoch vorrangig wegen der ÂŦgut bezahlten, unbefristeten ArbeitsplÃĪtzeÂŧ in Brandenburg. Ihren Tweet hat die Berliner Senatorin Cansel Kiziltepe inzwischen offenbar dennoch gelÃķscht.
Dass es um die Meinungs- und Pressefreiheit in der Bundesrepublik nicht mehr allzu gut bestellt ist, befÞrchtet man inzwischen auch schon im Ausland. Der Fall des Journalisten David Bendels, der kÞrzlich wegen eines Faeser-Memes zu sieben Monaten Haft auf BewÃĪhrung verurteilt wurde, fÞhrte in diversen Medien zu EmpÃķrung. Die Welt versteckte ihre Kritik mit dem Titel ÂŦEin Urteil wie aus einer DiktaturÂŧ hinter einer Bezahlschranke.
UnschÃķne, heutzutage vielleicht strafbare Kommentare wÞrden mir auch zu einigen anderen Themen und Akteuren einfallen. Ein Kandidat wÃĪre der deutsche Bundesgesundheitsminister (ja, er ist es tatsÃĪchlich immer noch). WÃĪhrend sich in den USA auf dem Gebiet etwas bewegt und zum Beispiel Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will, dass die GesundheitsbehÃķrde (CDC) keine Covid-Impfungen fÞr Kinder mehr empfiehlt, mÃķchte Karl Lauterbach vor allem das Corona-LÞgengebÃĪude vor dem Einsturz bewahren.
ÂŦIch habe nie geglaubt, dass die Impfungen nebenwirkungsfrei sindÂŧ, sagte Lauterbach jÞngst der ZDF-Journalistin Sarah Tacke. Das steht in krassem Widerspruch zu seiner frÞher verbreiteten Behauptung, die Gen-Injektionen hÃĪtten keine Nebenwirkungen. Damit entlarvt er sich selbst als LÞgner. Die Bezeichnung ist absolut berechtigt, dieser Mann dÞrfte keinerlei politische Verantwortung tragen und das Verhalten verlangt nach einer rechtlichen ÃberprÞfung. Leider ist ja die Justiz anderweitig beschÃĪftigt und hat auÃerdem selbst keine weiÃe Weste.
Obendrein kÃĪmpfte der Herr Minister fÞr eine allgemeine Impfpflicht. Er beschwor dabei das SchlieÃen einer ÂŦImpflÞckeÂŧ, wie es die Weltgesundheitsorganisation â die ÂŦwegen TrumpÂŧ in finanziellen Schwierigkeiten steckt â bis heute tut. Die WHO lÃĪsst aktuell ihre ÂŦEuropÃĪische ImpfwocheÂŧ propagieren, bei der interessanterweise von Covid nicht mehr groà die Rede ist.
Einen ÂŦKlima-LeugnerÂŧ wÞrden manche wohl Nir Shaviv nennen, das ist ja nicht strafbar. Der Astrophysiker weist nÃĪmlich die Behauptung von einer Klimakrise zurÞck. GemÃĪà seiner Forschung ist mindestens die HÃĪlfte der ErderwÃĪrmung nicht auf menschliche Emissionen, sondern auf VerÃĪnderungen im Sonnenverhalten zurÞckzufÞhren.
Das passt vielleicht auch den ÂŦKlima-HysterikernÂŧ der britischen Regierung ins Konzept, die gerade Experimente zur Verdunkelung der Sonne angekÞndigt haben. Produzenten von Kunstfleisch oder Betreiber von Insektenfarmen wÞrden dagegen vermutlich die Geschichte vom fatalen CO2 bevorzugen. Ihnen wÞrde es besser passen, wenn der verantwortungsvolle ErdenbÞrger sein Verhalten grÞndlich ÃĪndern mÞsste.
In unserer vÃķllig verkehrten Welt, in der praktisch jede Verlautbarung auÃerhalb der abgesegneten Narrative potenziell strafbar sein kann, gehÃķrt fast schon Mut dazu, Dinge offen anzusprechen. Im ÂŦbesten Deutschland aller ZeitenÂŧ glaubten letztes Jahr nur noch 40 Prozent der Menschen, ihre Meinung frei ÃĪuÃern zu kÃķnnen. Das ist ein Armutszeugnis, und es sieht nicht gerade nach Besserung aus. Umso wichtiger ist es, dagegen anzugehen.

2025-05-10 07:40:00When connecting to multiple relays in the Nostr protocol, users may encounter several challenges that can affect their overall experience. Here are some of the key issues:
Challenges of Connecting to Multiple Relays
-
Performance Issues: The lightweight design of Nostr relays can lead to performance bottlenecks, especially when many users are connected simultaneously. This can result in slow message delivery or even failures in posting messages if the relays are overwhelmed[1][2][32].
-
Reliability and Connectivity: Users may experience connectivity problems with certain relays, which can lead to inconsistent access to messages or delays in communication. If a relay goes offline or has connectivity issues, it can disrupt the flow of information, making it difficult for users to send or receive messages reliably[3][4][18].
-
Data Synchronization: As users connect to multiple relays, ensuring that data is synchronized across these relays can be challenging. Inconsistent data states may arise if different relays store messages differently or if there are delays in message propagation. This can lead to confusion about which messages have been sent or received[7][41].
-
Configuration Complexity: Managing connections to multiple relays requires a certain level of technical knowledge. Users need to configure their clients properly to connect to various relays, which can be daunting for those less familiar with the technology. Misconfigurations can lead to connection failures or suboptimal performance[4][21].
-
Spam and Quality Control: With the open nature of Nostr, some relays may be more susceptible to spam or low-quality content. Users connecting to multiple relays might encounter a higher volume of irrelevant or unwanted messages, which can detract from the overall user experience[6][32].
-
Security Concerns: When using multiple relays, users must be cautious about the security of their connections. Not all relays may implement the same level of security, and connecting to less secure relays could expose users to risks such as data interception or unauthorized access to their messages[26][27].
In summary, while connecting to multiple relays in Nostr offers benefits such as redundancy and improved access to information, users must navigate various challenges related to performance, reliability, configuration, and security. Addressing these issues is crucial for a smooth and effective experience on the Nostr network.

2025-05-09 09:20:28My last article, I wrote about DePIN, a passive income that is easily accessible and something to consider as supplemental income. This week I want to discuss another form of finance. Letâs face it: when most of us hear the word âfinanceâ, our eyes glaze over faster than a donut in a Krispy Kreme factory.
It conjures images of Wall Street suits, casino type crypto scams, and incomprehensible jargon. What if I told you that finance could be regenerative? Could your money heal the world?
Regenerative Finance is what Iâm discussing; ReFi if you want to sound cool. Regenerative finance is a movement thatâs quietly transforming how we think about money, investment and our collective future. Letâs dive down the rabbit hole and take a journey into a world where your money can make things better.
Youâre at a party and someone asks what you do for a living. You say, âI work in sustainable finance.â Boring to most, they politely nod. But what if you said, âI work in regenerative finance. We invest in projects that restore rainforests, rebuild communities and make money while healing the planet.â How interesting, right?
What is sustainable? It is about not making things worse, just sustaining them. On the other hand, regenerative finance restores, renews and improves systems, making sure things are better when you leave than when you arrived.
Regeneration systems imagine every dollar invested helps a forest grow, a community thrive or a river run clear again. Remember sustainability is about keeping things as they are. Regeneration is about making things better.
Hereâs a real-world example: The Savory Institute works with ranchers to restore grasslands using holistic grazing. Investors in their projects donât just avoid harm, they rebuild the soil, increase biodiversity, and capture carbon. Thatâs money making a difference.
Regenerative finance asks, âHow will the investment affect people, planet and profit, not just today, but decades from now?â Another real-world example, Ecosia, the search engine that plants trees, invests profits into reforestation projects worldwide. Their financial model considers long term ecological health, not just quarterly returns.
ReFi isnât about faceless corporations. Itâs about empowering local communities and restoring ecosystems. Think of it as crowdfunding Mother Earth.
How does all this magic happen? Here are a few ways to invest.
IMPACT INVESTING As examples from above, this is where you put your money into projects that actively restore ecosystems, empower communities or fight climate change. FUNDING BONDS These are bonds issued on blockchain platforms to fund sustainable projects. They are managed by smart contracts and investors get digital tokens representing their share. Think about this as an early adopter.
TOKENIZATION This is taking real-world assets and turning them into digital tokens. Think carbon credits. Thereâs no Wall Street middleman which makes it easier to track, invest and trade in regenerative projects. You can have fractional ownership with tokenization which means easier access to more assets.
Real estate has moved into fractional ownership using tokenization. The threshold to invest has lowered immensely with this practice.
The world is facing some big problems with climate change, inequality, biodiversity loss and I could go on. Traditional finance hasnât exactly been successful. Regenerative finance offers a new way forward.
By focusing on restoring rather than just sustaining, we create resilient, equitable and thriving systems for future generations. As someone who is 64 years old, I was taught to leave the world better than you found it.
There has been much speculation over the years about the next evolution of the internet and business. How will we adapt? What will financial systems look like?
Letâs look at some projects that are already making a difference: Eden Reforestation Project Employs local communities to plant millions of trees, restoring ecosystems and creating jobs.
Kiva Community lending to entrepreneurs in developing countries, empowering them out of poverty.
Mosaic Solar projects, investing, earning returns while helping the planet.
KlimaDAO This DAO uses blockchain to buy and retire carbon credits, driving up the price of pollution and funding climate action.
Look for reputable ReFi projects or platforms that align with your values. Many platforms have low minimum investment thresholds making it easier for anyone to participate.
You donât need to be a billionaire or a blockchain wizard to get involved in the regenerative finance revolution. Individuals can invest in ReFi initiatives through several accessible pathways, any of which leverage new technologies and community-driven models to make participation easier and more transparent.
Regenerative finance changes the way you think about money, value and your place in the world. Putting your dollars to work for people and planet, you can be a part of building a thriving future.
Regenerative finance addresses the shortcomings of traditional finance which often prioritizes short term profit over long term environmental and social costs. The core idea behind ReFi is that financial systems should restore, and grow societyâs economic, social and environmental systems.
Regenerative finance represents a transformative shift in how capital is allocated and managed. By integrating advanced technology, community participation, and a focus on ecological and social renewal, ReFi seeks to build a financial system that not only generates returns but also restores and strengthens the foundations of a sustainable and healthy future.
As the world moves forward in different ways of finance and business, I hope this information was useful for you. The different monetary systems and financial markets are growing. ReFi is an alternative finance system becoming a movement. If you are interested in other financial systems or know of any, please let me know. Thank you for reading. Be fabulous, Sandra Abrams Onboard60 Founder

2025-04-20 19:54:32Es ist vÃķllig unbestritten, dass der Angriff der russischen Armee auf die Ukraine im Februar 2022 strikt zu verurteilen ist. Ebenso unbestritten ist Russland unter Wladimir Putin keine brillante Demokratie. Aus diesen Tatsachen lÃĪsst sich jedoch nicht das finstere Bild des russischen PrÃĪsidenten â und erst recht nicht des Landes â begrÞnden, das uns durchweg vorgesetzt wird und den Kern des aktuellen europÃĪischen Bedrohungs-Szenarios darstellt. Da mÞssen wir schon etwas genauer hinschauen.
Der vorliegende Artikel versucht derweil nicht, den Einsatz von Gewalt oder die Verletzung von Menschenrechten zu rechtfertigen oder zu entschuldigen â ganz im Gegenteil. Dass jedoch der Verdacht des ÂŦPutinverstehersÂŧ sofort latent im Raume steht, verdeutlicht, was beim Thema ÂŦRusslandÂŧ passiert: Meinungsmache und Manipulation.
Angesichts der mentalen Mobilmachung seitens Politik und Medien sowie des Bestrebens, einen bevorstehenden Krieg mit Russland geradezu herbeizureden, ist es notwendig, dieser fatalen Entwicklung entgegenzutreten. Wenn wir uns nur ein wenig von der herrschenden Schwarz-WeiÃ-Malerei freimachen, tauchen automatisch Fragen auf, die Risse im offiziellen Narrativ enthÞllen. Grund genug, nachzuhaken.
Wer sich schon lÃĪnger auch abseits der Staats- und sogenannten Leitmedien informiert, der wird in diesem Artikel vermutlich nicht viel Neues erfahren. Andere kÃķnnten hier ein paar unbekannte oder vergessene Aspekte entdecken. MÃķglicherweise klÃĪrt sich in diesem Kontext die Wahrnehmung der aktuellen (unserer eigenen!) Situation ein wenig.
Manipulation erkennen
Corona-ÂŦPandemieÂŧ, menschengemachter Klimawandel oder auch Ukraine-Krieg: Jede Menge Krisen, und fÞr alle gibt es ein offizielles Narrativ, dessen Hinterfragung unerwÞnscht ist. Nun ist aber ein Narrativ einfach eine ErzÃĪhlung, eine Geschichte (Latein: ÂŦnarratioÂŧ) und kein Tatsachenbericht. Und so wie ein MÃĪrchen soll auch das Narrativ eine Botschaft vermitteln.
Ãber die Methoden der Manipulation ist viel geschrieben worden, sowohl in Bezug auf das Individuum als auch auf die Massen. Sehr wertvolle Tipps dazu, wie man Manipulationen durchschauen kann, gibt ein BÞchlein [1] von Albrecht MÞller, dem Herausgeber der NachDenkSeiten.
Die Sprache selber eignet sich perfekt fÞr die Manipulation. Beispielsweise kann die Wortwahl Bewertungen mitschwingen lassen, regelmÃĪÃiges Wiederholen (gerne auch von verschiedenen Seiten) lÃĪsst Dinge irgendwann ÂŦwahrÂŧ erscheinen, Ãbertreibungen fallen auf und hinterlassen wenigstens eine Spur im GedÃĪchtnis, genauso wie Andeutungen. Belege spielen dabei keine Rolle.
Es gibt auffÃĪllig viele Sprachregelungen, die offenbar irgendwo getroffen und irgendwie koordiniert werden. Oder alle Redenschreiber und alle Medien kopieren sich neuerdings permanent gegenseitig. Welchen Zweck hat es wohl, wenn der Krieg in der Ukraine durchgÃĪngig und quasi wÃķrtlich als ÂŦrussischer Angriffskrieg auf die UkraineÂŧ bezeichnet wird? Obwohl das in der Sache richtig ist, deutet die Art der Verwendung auf gezielte Beeinflussung hin und soll vor allem das Feindbild zementieren.
Sprachregelungen dienen oft der Absicherung einer einseitigen Darstellung. Das Gleiche gilt fÞr das VerkÞrzen von Informationen bis hin zum hartnÃĪckigen Verschweigen ganzer Themenbereiche. Auch hierfÞr gibt es rund um den Ukraine-Konflikt viele gute Beispiele.
Das gewÞnschte Ergebnis solcher Methoden ist eine Schwarz-WeiÃ-Malerei, bei der einer eindeutig als ÂŦder BÃķseÂŧ markiert ist und die anderen automatisch ÂŦdie GutenÂŧ sind. Das ist praktisch und demonstriert gleichzeitig ein weiteres Manipulationswerkzeug: die Verwendung von Doppelstandards. Wenn man es schafft, bei wichtigen Themen regelmÃĪÃig mit zweierlei Maà zu messen, ohne dass das Publikum protestiert, dann hat man freie Bahn.
Experten zu bemÞhen, um bestimmte Sachverhalte zu erlÃĪutern, ist sicher sinnvoll, kann aber ebenso missbraucht werden, schon allein durch die Auswahl der jeweiligen Spezialisten. Seit ÂŦCoronaÂŧ werden viele erfahrene und ehemals hoch angesehene Fachleute wegen der ÂŦfalschen MeinungÂŧ diffamiert und gecancelt. [2] Das ist nicht nur ein brutaler Umgang mit Menschen, sondern auch eine extreme Form, die Ãķffentliche Meinung zu steuern.
Wann immer wir also erkennen (weil wir aufmerksam waren), dass wir bei einem bestimmten Thema manipuliert werden, dann sind zwei logische und notwendige Fragen: Warum? Und was ist denn richtig? In unserem Russland-Kontext haben die Antworten darauf viel mit Geopolitik und Geschichte zu tun.
Ist Russland aggressiv und expansiv?
Angeblich plant Russland, europÃĪische NATO-Staaten anzugreifen, nach dem Motto: ÂŦZuerst die Ukraine, dann den RestÂŧ. In Deutschland weià man dafÞr sogar das Datum: ÂŦWir mÞssen bis 2029 kriegstÞchtig seinÂŧ, versichert Verteidigungsminister Pistorius.
Historisch gesehen ist es allerdings eher umgekehrt: Russland, bzw. die Sowjetunion, ist bereits dreimal von Westeuropa aus militÃĪrisch angegriffen worden. Die FeldzÞge Napoleons, des deutschen Kaiserreichs und Nazi-Deutschlands haben Millionen Menschen das Leben gekostet. Bei dem ausdrÞcklichen Vernichtungskrieg ab 1941 kam es auÃerdem zu BrutalitÃĪten wie der zweieinhalbjÃĪhrigen Belagerung Leningrads (heute St. Petersburg) durch Hitlers Wehrmacht. Deren Ziel, die BevÃķlkerung auszuhungern, wurde erreicht: Þber eine Million tote Zivilisten.
Trotz dieser Erfahrungen stimmte Michail Gorbatschow 1990 der deutschen Wiedervereinigung zu und die Sowjetunion zog ihre Truppen aus Osteuropa zurÞck (vgl. Abb. 1). Der Warschauer Pakt wurde aufgelÃķst, der Kalte Krieg formell beendet. Die Sowjets erhielten damals von fÞhrenden westlichen Politikern die Zusicherung, dass sich die NATO ÂŦkeinen Zentimeter ostwÃĪrtsÂŧ ausdehnen wÞrde, das ist dokumentiert. [3]
Expandiert ist die NATO trotzdem, und zwar bis an Russlands Grenzen (vgl. Abb. 2). Laut dem Politikberater Jeffrey Sachs handelt es sich dabei um ein langfristiges US-Projekt, das von Anfang an die Ukraine und Georgien mit einschloss. Offiziell wurde der Beitritt beiden Staaten 2008 angeboten. In jedem Fall kÃķnnte die massive Ost-Erweiterung seit 1999 aus russischer Sicht nicht nur als Vertrauensbruch, sondern durchaus auch als aggressiv betrachtet werden.
Russland hat den europÃĪischen Staaten mehrfach die Hand ausgestreckt [4] fÞr ein friedliches Zusammenleben und den ÂŦAufbau des europÃĪischen HausesÂŧ. PrÃĪsident Putin sei ÂŦin seiner ersten Amtszeit eine Chance fÞr EuropaÂŧ gewesen, urteilt die Journalistin und langjÃĪhrige Russland-Korrespondentin der ARD, Gabriele Krone-Schmalz. Er habe damals viele positive Signale Richtung Westen gesendet.
Die EuropÃĪer jedoch waren scheinbar an einer Partnerschaft mit dem kontinentalen Nachbarn weniger interessiert als an der mit dem transatlantischen Hegemon. Sie verkennen bis heute, dass eine gedeihliche Zusammenarbeit in Eurasien eine Gefahr fÞr die USA und deren bekundetes Bestreben ist, die ÂŦeinzige WeltmachtÂŧ zu sein â ÂŦFull Spectrum DominanceÂŧ [5] nannte das Pentagon das. Statt einem neuen Kalten Krieg entgegenzuarbeiten, lieÃen sich europÃĪische Staaten selber in vÃķlkerrechtswidrige ÂŦUS-dominierte AngriffskriegeÂŧ [6] verwickeln, wie in Serbien, Afghanistan, dem Irak, Libyen oder Syrien. Diese werden aber selten so benannt.
Speziell den Deutschen stÞnde auÃer einer Portion Realismus auch etwas mehr Dankbarkeit gut zu Gesicht. Das Geschichtsbewusstsein der Mehrheit scheint doch recht selektiv und das Selbstbewusstsein einiger etwas desorientiert zu sein. BekanntermaÃen waren es die Soldaten der sowjetischen Roten Armee, die unter hohen Opfern 1945 Deutschland ÂŦvom Faschismus befreitÂŧ haben. Bei den Gedenkfeiern zu 80 Jahren Kriegsende will jedoch das AuswÃĪrtige Amt â noch unter der Diplomatie-Expertin Baerbock, die sich schon lÃĪnger offiziell im Krieg mit Russland wÃĪhnt, â nun keine Russen sehen: Sie sollen notfalls rausgeschmissen werden.
ÂŦDie Grundsatzfrage lautet: Geht es Russland um einen angemessenen Platz in einer globalen Sicherheitsarchitektur, oder ist Moskau schon seit langem auf einem imperialistischen Trip, der befÞrchten lassen muss, dass die Russen in fÞnf Jahren in Berlin stehen?Âŧ
So bringt Gabriele Krone-Schmalz [7] die eigentliche Frage auf den Punkt, die zur EinschÃĪtzung der Situation letztlich auch jeder fÞr sich beantworten muss.
Was ist los in der Ukraine?
In der internationalen Politik geht es nie um Demokratie oder Menschenrechte, sondern immer um Interessen von Staaten. Diese These stammt von Egon Bahr, einem der Architekten der deutschen Ostpolitik des ÂŦWandels durch AnnÃĪherungÂŧ aus den 1960er und 70er Jahren. Sie trifft auch auf den Ukraine-Konflikt zu, den handfeste geostrategische und wirtschaftliche Interessen beherrschen, obwohl dort angeblich ÂŦunsere DemokratieÂŧ verteidigt wird.
Es ist ein wesentliches Element des Ukraine-Narrativs und Teil der Manipulation, die Vorgeschichte des Krieges wegzulassen â mindestens die vor der russischen ÂŦAnnexionÂŧ der Halbinsel Krim im MÃĪrz 2014, aber oft sogar komplett diejenige vor der Invasion Ende Februar 2022. Das Thema ist komplex, aber einige Aspekte, die fÞr eine Beurteilung nicht unwichtig sind, will ich wenigstens kurz skizzieren. [8]
Das Gebiet der heutigen Ukraine und Russlands â die Þbrigens in der ÂŦKiewer RusÂŧ gemeinsame Wurzeln haben â hat der britische Geostratege Halford Mackinder bereits 1904 als eurasisches ÂŦHeartlandÂŧ bezeichnet, dessen Kontrolle er eine groÃe Bedeutung fÞr die imperiale Strategie GroÃbritanniens zumaÃ. FÞr den ehemaligen Sicherheits- und auÃenpolitischen Berater mehrerer US-amerikanischer PrÃĪsidenten und MitgrÞnder der Trilateralen Kommission, Zbigniew Brzezinski, war die Ukraine nach der AuflÃķsung der Sowjetunion ein wichtiger Spielstein auf dem ÂŦeurasischen SchachbrettÂŧ, wegen seiner NÃĪhe zu Russland, seiner BodenschÃĪtze und seines Zugangs zum Schwarzen Meer.
Die Ukraine ist seit langem ein gespaltenes Land. Historisch zerrissen als Spielball externer Interessen und geprÃĪgt von ethnischen, kulturellen, religiÃķsen und geografischen Unterschieden existiert bis heute, grob gesagt, eine Ost-West-Spaltung, welche die Suche nach einer nationalen IdentitÃĪt stark erschwert.
Insbesondere im Zuge der beiden Weltkriege sowie der Russischen Revolution entstanden tiefe Risse in der BevÃķlkerung. Ukrainer kÃĪmpften gegen Ukrainer, zum Beispiel die einen auf der Seite von Hitlers faschistischer Nazi-Armee und die anderen auf der von Stalins kommunistischer Roter Armee. Die Verbrechen auf beiden Seiten sind nicht vergessen. Dass nach der UnabhÃĪngigkeit 1991 versucht wurde, Figuren wie den radikalen Nationalisten Symon Petljura oder den Faschisten und Nazi-Kollaborateur Stepan Bandera als ÂŦNationalheldenÂŧ zu installieren, verbessert die Sache nicht.
WÃĪhrend die USA und EU-Staaten zunehmend ÂŦauslÃĪndische EinmischungÂŧ (speziell russische) in ÂŦihre DemokratienÂŧ wittern, betreiben sie genau dies seit Jahrzehnten in vielen LÃĪndern der Welt. Die seit den 2000er Jahren bekannten ÂŦFarbrevolutionenÂŧ in Osteuropa werden oft als Methode des Regierungsumsturzes durch von auÃen gesteuerte ÂŦdemokratischeÂŧ VolksaufstÃĪnde beschrieben. Diese Strategie geht auf Analysen zum ÂŦSchwarmverhaltenÂŧ [9] seit den 1960er Jahren zurÞck (Studentenproteste), wo es um die potenzielle Wirksamkeit einer ÂŦrebellischen HysterieÂŧ von Jugendlichen bei postmodernen Staatsstreichen geht. Heute nennt sich dieses gezielte Kanalisieren der Massen zur Beseitigung unkooperativer Regierungen ÂŦSoft-PowerÂŧ.
In der Ukraine gab es mit der ÂŦOrangen RevolutionÂŧ 2004 und dem ÂŦEuromaidanÂŧ 2014 gleich zwei solcher ÂŦAufstÃĪndeÂŧ. Der erste erzwang wegen angeblicher UnregelmÃĪÃigkeiten eine Wiederholung der Wahlen, was mit Wiktor Juschtschenko als neuem PrÃĪsidenten endete. Dieser war ehemaliger Direktor der Nationalbank und BefÞrworter einer AnnÃĪherung an EU und NATO. Seine Frau, die First Lady, ist US-amerikanische ÂŦPhilanthropinÂŧ und war Beamtin im WeiÃen Haus in der Reagan- und der Bush-Administration.
Im Gegensatz zu diesem ersten Event endete der sogenannte Euromaidan unfriedlich und blutig. Die mehrwÃķchigen Proteste gegen PrÃĪsident Wiktor Janukowitsch, in Teilen wegen des nicht unterzeichneten Assoziierungsabkommens mit der EU, wurden zunehmend gewalttÃĪtiger und von Nationalisten und Faschisten des ÂŦRechten SektorsÂŧ dominiert. Sie mÞndeten Ende Februar 2014 auf dem Kiewer UnabhÃĪngigkeitsplatz (Maidan) in einem Massaker durch ScharfschÞtzen. Dass deren Herkunft und die genauen UmstÃĪnde nicht geklÃĪrt wurden, stÃķrte die Medien nur wenig. [10]
Janukowitsch musste fliehen, er trat nicht zurÞck. Vielmehr handelte es sich um einen gewaltsamen, allem Anschein nach vom Westen inszenierten Putsch. Laut Jeffrey Sachs war das kein Geheimnis, auÃer vielleicht fÞr die BÞrger. Die USA unterstÞtzten die Post-Maidan-Regierung nicht nur, sie beeinflussten auch ihre Bildung. Das geht unter anderem aus dem berÞhmten ÂŦFuck the EUÂŧ-Telefonat der US-Chefdiplomatin fÞr die Ukraine, Victoria Nuland, mit Botschafter Geoffrey Pyatt hervor.
Dieser Bruch der demokratischen Verfassung war letztlich der AuslÃķser fÞr die anschlieÃenden Krisen auf der Krim und im Donbass (Ostukraine). Angesichts der ukrainischen Geschichte mussten die nationalistischen Tendenzen und die Beteiligung der rechten Gruppen an dem Umsturz bei der russigsprachigen BevÃķlkerung im Osten ungute GefÞhle auslÃķsen. Es gab Kritik an der Ãbergangsregierung, BefÞrworter einer Abspaltung und auch fÞr einen Anschluss an Russland.
Ebenso konnte Wladimir Putin in dieser Situation durchaus Bedenken wegen des Status der russischen MilitÃĪrbasis fÞr seine Schwarzmeerflotte in Sewastopol auf der Krim haben, fÞr die es einen langfristigen Pachtvertrag mit der Ukraine gab. Was im MÃĪrz 2014 auf der Krim stattfand, sei keine Annexion, sondern eine Abspaltung (Sezession) nach einem Referendum gewesen, also keine gewaltsame Aneignung, urteilte der Rechtswissenschaftler Reinhard Merkel in der FAZ sehr detailliert begrÞndet. Ãbrigens hatte die Krim bereits zu Zeiten der Sowjetunion den Status einer autonomen Republik innerhalb der Ukrainischen SSR.
Anfang April 2014 wurden in der Ostukraine die ÂŦVolksrepublikenÂŧ Donezk und Lugansk ausgerufen. Die Kiewer Ãbergangsregierung ging unter der Bezeichnung ÂŦAnti-Terror-OperationÂŧ (ATO) militÃĪrisch gegen diesen, auch von Russland instrumentalisierten Widerstand vor. ZufÃĪllig war kurz zuvor CIA-Chef John Brennan in Kiew. Die MaÃnahmen gingen unter dem seit Mai neuen ukrainischen PrÃĪsidenten, dem MilliardÃĪr Petro Poroschenko, weiter. Auch Wolodymyr Selenskyj beendete den BÞrgerkrieg nicht, als er 2019 vom PrÃĪsidenten-Schauspieler, der Oligarchen entmachtet, zum PrÃĪsidenten wurde. Er fuhr fort, die eigene BevÃķlkerung zu bombardieren.
Mit dem Einmarsch russischer Truppen in die Ostukraine am 24. Februar 2022 begann die zweite Phase des Krieges. Die Wochen und Monate davor waren intensiv. Im November hatte die Ukraine mit den USA ein Abkommen Þber eine ÂŦstrategische PartnerschaftÂŧ unterzeichnet. Darin sagten die Amerikaner ihre UnterstÞtzung der EU- und NATO-Perspektive der Ukraine sowie quasi fÞr die RÞckeroberung der Krim zu. Dagegen lieà Putin der NATO und den USA im Dezember 2021 einen Vertragsentwurf Þber beiderseitige verbindliche Sicherheitsgarantien zukommen, den die NATO im Januar ablehnte. Im Februar eskalierte laut OSZE die Gewalt im Donbass.
Bereits wenige Wochen nach der Invasion, Ende MÃĪrz 2022, kam es in Istanbul zu Friedensverhandlungen, die fast zu einer LÃķsung gefÞhrt hÃĪtten. Dass der Krieg nicht damals bereits beendet wurde, lag daran, dass der Westen dies nicht wollte. Man war der Meinung, Russland durch die Ukraine in diesem Stellvertreterkrieg auf Dauer militÃĪrisch schwÃĪchen zu kÃķnnen. Angesichts von Hunderttausenden Toten, Verletzten und Traumatisierten, die als Folge seitdem zu beklagen sind, sowie dem Ausmaà der ZerstÃķrung, fehlen einem die Worte.
Hasst der Westen die Russen?
Diese Frage drÃĪngt sich auf, wenn man das oft unertrÃĪglich feindselige Gebaren beobachtet, das beileibe nicht neu ist und vor Doppelmoral trieft. Russland und speziell die Person Wladimir Putins werden regelrecht dÃĪmonisiert, was gleichzeitig scheinbar jede Form von Diplomatie ausschlieÃt.
Russlands militÃĪrische StÃĪrke, seine geografische Lage, sein Rohstoffreichtum oder seine unabhÃĪngige diplomatische Tradition sind sicher StÃķrfaktoren fÞr das US-amerikanische Bestreben, der Boss in einer unipolaren Welt zu sein. Ein womÃķglich funktionierender eurasischer Kontinent, insbesondere gute Beziehungen zwischen Russland und Deutschland, war indes schon vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg eine Sorge des britischen Imperiums.
Ein ÂŦVergehenÂŧ von PrÃĪsident Putin kÃķnnte gewesen sein, dass er die neoliberale Schocktherapie à la IWF und den Ausverkauf des Landes (auch an US-Konzerne) beendete, der unter seinem VorgÃĪnger herrschte. Dabei zeigte er sich als FÞhrungspersÃķnlichkeit und als nicht so formbar wie Jelzin. Diese Aspekte allein sind aber heute vermutlich keine ausreichende ErklÃĪrung fÞr ein derart gepflegtes Feindbild.
Der Historiker und Philosoph Hauke Ritz erweitert den Fokus der Fragestellung zu: ÂŦWarum hasst der Westen die Russen so sehr?Âŧ, was er zum Beispiel mit dem Medienforscher Michael Meyen und mit der Politikwissenschaftlerin Ulrike GuÃĐrot bespricht. Ritz stellt die interessante These [11] auf, dass Russland eine Provokation fÞr den Westen sei, welcher vor allem dessen kulturelles und intellektuelles Potenzial fÞrchte.
Die Russen sind EuropÃĪer aber anders, sagt Ritz. Diese ÂŦFremdheit in der ÃhnlichkeitÂŧ erzeuge vielleicht tiefe AblehnungsgefÞhle. Obwohl Russlands IdentitÃĪt in der europÃĪischen Kultur verwurzelt ist, verbinde es sich immer mit der Opposition in Europa. Als Beispiele nennt er die Kritik an der katholischen Kirche oder die Verbindung mit der Arbeiterbewegung. Christen, aber orthodox; Sozialismus statt Liberalismus. Das mache das Land zum Antagonisten des Westens und zu einer Bedrohung der Machtstrukturen in Europa.
Fazit
SelbstverstÃĪndlich kann man Geschichte, Ereignisse und Entwicklungen immer auf verschiedene Arten lesen. Dieser Artikel, obwohl viel zu lang, konnte nur einige Aspekte der Ukraine-TragÃķdie anreiÃen, die in den offiziellen Darstellungen in der Regel nicht vorkommen. Mindestens dÞrfte damit jedoch klar geworden sein, dass die Russische FÃķderation bzw. Wladimir Putin nicht der alleinige Aggressor in diesem Konflikt ist. Das ist ein Stellvertreterkrieg zwischen USA/NATO (gut) und Russland (bÃķse); die Ukraine (edel) wird dabei schlicht verheizt.
Das ist insofern von Bedeutung, als die gesamte europÃĪische Kriegshysterie auf sorgsam kultivierten Freund-Feind-Bildern beruht. Nur so kann Konfrontation und Eskalation betrieben werden, denn damit werden die wahren HintergrÞnde und Motive verschleiert. Angst und Propaganda sind notwendig, damit die Menschen den Wahnsinn mitmachen. Sie werden belogen, um sie zuerst zu schrÃķpfen und anschlieÃend auf die Schlachtbank zu schicken. Das kann niemand wollen, auÃer den stets gleichen Profiteuren: die RÞstungs-Lobby und die groÃen Investoren, die schon immer an ZerstÃķrung und Wiederaufbau verdient haben.
Apropos Investoren: Zu den Top-Verdienern und somit Hauptinteressenten an einer FortfÞhrung des Krieges zÃĪhlt BlackRock, einer der weltgrÃķÃten VermÃķgensverwalter. Der deutsche Bundeskanzler in spe, Friedrich Merz, der gerne ÂŦTaurusÂŧ-MarschflugkÃķrper an die Ukraine liefern und die Krim-BrÞcke zerstÃķren mÃķchte, war von 2016 bis 2020 Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender von BlackRock in Deutschland. Aber das hat natÞrlich nichts zu sagen, der Mann macht nur seinen Job.
Es ist ein Spiel der KrÃĪfte, es geht um Macht und strategische Kontrolle, um Geheimdienste und die Kontrolle der Ãķffentlichen Meinung, um BodenschÃĪtze, Rohstoffe, Pipelines und MÃĪrkte. Das klingt aber nicht sexy, ÂŦDemokratie und MenschenrechteÂŧ hÃķrt sich besser und einfacher an. Dabei wÃĪre eine fÞr alle Seiten fÃķrderliche Politik auch nicht so kompliziert; das Handwerkszeug dazu nennt sich Diplomatie. Noch einmal Gabriele Krone-Schmalz:
ÂŦFriedliche Politik ist nichts anderes als funktionierender Interessenausgleich. Da gehtâs nicht um Moral.Âŧ
Die Situation in der Ukraine ist sicher komplex, vor allem wegen der inneren Zerrissenheit. Es dÞrfte nicht leicht sein, eine friedliche LÃķsung fÞr das Zusammenleben zu finden, aber die Beteiligten mÞssen es vor allem wollen. Unter den gegebenen UmstÃĪnden kÃķnnte eine sinnvolle Perspektive mit NeutralitÃĪt und fÃķderalen Strukturen zu tun haben.
Allen, die sich bis hierher durch die LektÞre gearbeitet (oder auch einfach nur runtergescrollt) haben, wÞnsche ich frohe Oster-Friedenstage!

2025-04-18 15:53:07Verstand ohne GefÞhl ist unmenschlich; \ GefÞhl ohne Verstand ist Dummheit. \ Egon Bahr
Seit Jahren werden wir darauf getrimmt, dass Fakten eigentlich gefÞhlt seien. Aber nicht alles ist relativ und nicht alles ist nach Belieben interpretierbar. Diese Schokoladenhasen beispielsweise, die an Ostern in unseren Gefilden typisch sind, ÂŦosternÂŧ zwar nicht, sondern sie sitzen in der Regel, trotzdem verwandelt sie das nicht in ÂŦSitzhasenÂŧ.
Nichts soll mehr gelten, auÃer den immer invasiveren Gesetzen. Die eigenen Traditionen und Wurzeln sind potenziell ÂŦpfuiÂŧ, um andere Menschen nicht auszuschlieÃen, aber wir mÃķgen uns toleranterweise an die fremden Symbole und Rituale gewÃķhnen. Dabei ist es mir prinzipiell vÃķllig egal, ob und wann jemand ein Fastenbrechen feiert, am Karsamstag oder jedem anderen Tag oder nie â aber bitte freiwillig.
Und vor allem: Lasst die Finger von den Kindern! In Bern setzten kÞrzlich Demonstranten ein Zeichen gegen die zunehmende Verbreitung woker Ideologie im Bildungssystem und forderten ein Ende der sexuellen Indoktrination von Schulkindern.
Wenn es nicht wegen des heiklen Themas Migration oder wegen des Regenbogens ist, dann wegen des Klimas. Im Rahmen der ÂŦNetto NullÂŧ-Agenda zum Kampf gegen das angeblich teuflische CO2 sollen die Menschen ihre ErnÃĪhrungsgewohnheiten komplett ÃĪndern. Nach dem Willen von Produzenten synthetischer Lebensmittel, wie Bill Gates, sollen wir baldmÃķglichst praktisch auf Fleisch und alle Milchprodukte wie Milch und KÃĪse verzichten. Ein lukratives GeschÃĪftsmodell, das neben der EU aktuell auch von einem britischen Lobby-Konsortium unterstÞtzt wird.
Sollten alle ideologischen Stricke zu reiÃen drohen, ist da immer noch ÂŦder PutinÂŧ. Die Unions-EuropÃĪer offenbaren sich dabei stÃĪndig mehr als Vertreter der RÞstungsindustrie. Allen voran zÞndelt Deutschland an der Kriegslunte, angefÞhrt von einem scheinbar todesmutigen Kanzlerkandidaten Friedrich Merz. Nach dessen erneuter Aussage, ÂŦTaurusÂŧ-MarschflugkÃķrper an Kiew liefern zu wollen, hat Russland eindeutig klargestellt, dass man dies als direkte Kriegsbeteiligung werten wÞrde â ÂŦmit allen sich daraus ergebenden Konsequenzen fÞr DeutschlandÂŧ.
Wohltuend sind Nachrichten Þber AktivitÃĪten, die sich der allgemeinen Kriegstreiberei entgegenstellen oder diese Ãķffentlich hinterfragen. Dazu zÃĪhlt auch ein Kongress kritischer Psychologen und Psychotherapeuten, der letzte Woche in Berlin stattfand. Die vielen VortrÃĪge im Kontext von ÂŦKrieg und FriedenÂŧ deckten ein breites Themenspektrum ab, darunter Friedensarbeit oder die Notwendigkeit einer ÂŦPÃĪdagogik der KriegsuntÞchtigkeitÂŧ.
Der heutige ÂŦstille FreitagÂŧ, an dem Christen des Leidens und Sterbens von Jesus gedenken, ist vielleicht unabhÃĪngig von jeder religiÃķsen oder spirituellen PrÃĪgung eine passende Einladung zur Reflexion. In der Ruhe liegt die Kraft. In diesem Sinne wÞnsche ich Ihnen frohe Ostertage!

2025-05-09 06:21:57Dear reader,
HODLing was never the end goal.
HODLing Bitcoin is smart. It always has been. If you held through the Mt. Gox hacks, China bans, the 2017 Blocksize wars, the 2018 bloodbath, and the FTX clownery of 2022, then you already know. Bitcoin rewards conviction.
But letâs not forget why you got in.
It was never just about watching numbers go up. You felt something. Something deep. A quiet voice inside said, âThis system is broken. Iâm done playing by its rules.â - That is where it all began.
Back in 2008, while the banks were crashing the economy and handing you the bill, Bitcoin showed up as a silent answer. A lifeboat. A revolution wrapped in code.
The whitepaper starts with a simple, powerful idea: "A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution."
https://plebsite.net/cdn/shop/files/Bitcoin_Whitepaper-Poster-3.jpg
And Bitcoin has lived up to that vision.
You saw it in El Salvador when they made it legal tender â even if they later made it optional. You saw it when WikiLeaks used Bitcoin after getting cut off by banks. You saw the Silk Road prove what peer-to-peer money really means. No matter what you think of those examples, one thing is clear: It worked. It was used. It still works.
Today, Bitcoin powers circular economies across the world â in Costa Rica, South Africa, Brazil, and beyond. People are using it because their local money fails them. Bitcoin became more than a store of value. It became a tool for survival and sovereignty.
https://imageio.forbes.com/specials-images/imageserve/67e422a1808f4902b8a1c6bc/Bitcoin-Ekasi-Center/960x0.jpg?format=jpg&width=1440
And now, look at you.
You believed early. You stacked. You held. And now, you have more Bitcoin than you ever imagined. Your needs are met. Your wants, too. You held through it all. And maybe now, youâve found some stability, maybe even freedom. You stayed patient. You played the long game. You won.
So now the question is simple: What will your Bitcoin build?
Let me paint you a picture- Somewhere out there, there is a young soul maybe in Lagos, maybe in Buenos Aires, maybe right next door. This person might be working on a new privacy tool that protects free expression. Or developing a drone taxi system to change the way people move in growing cities. Or creating a decentralized alternative to platforms like Patreon, where no one is silenced for thinking differently.
They do not have powerful connections. They are not sitting in fancy offices or attending tech conferences. They are building quietly, with conviction and hope.
You can be the magical wand in their life. Your belief and support can turn someone's idea into something real. You can help create the next chapter of their story.
Angor allows you to do exactly that. It gives you a way to fund builders directly, using your Bitcoin. The process is safe and structured. You support projects in stages, and the funds only move forward when clear milestones are completed. Everything is on-chain, using Bitcoin scripts and time-locked contracts to ensure accountability.
This is how the ecosystem grows.
Where do you go now that HODLing was just the beginning?
Hereâs what you do:
1. Check the Proposal
Go read the Angor docs. Itâs not some bloated whitepaper. Itâs clean, clear, and youâll get it. Hereâs the link - https://docs.angor.io/start/.
2. Join the Talk on Nostr
Nostr is where real, uncensored conversation is happening. It is decentralized and open by design. Use a client like Primal or Damus to dive in. Or check out nostr.band to explore what people are building and sharing across the network.
This is where ideas take shape. Builders post updates. Communities give feedback. The next wave of innovation is already in motion â and you can be part of it.
Follow Angor on Nostr: nostr:nprofile1qqs8p3ywfd92w7zvjgy7wrpylz8t30hy3z5dc5al4070l9y8qr8rejcksnh5c
3. Contribute
Whatever your skill is writing, design, coding, memes, Angor has room for you. Get on GitHub. Even if you just report a bug or suggest a feature, it helps. Or you could even fork the code and do as you wish.
4. Explore Angor Hub
This is the cockpit. Itâs where you find new projects, track progress, talk to founders and make moves. Dive in. Itâs live.
https://docs.angor.io/images/tools/hub.png
Final Thoughts
Bitcoin gave us the base layer. It proved that peer-to-peer money works. But that was just the beginning. Now itâs time to build the next layer together.
And no, this is not about another meme coin or a monkey NFT. This is about real infrastructure. Real value. Real use cases.
Angor is for the misfits, the dreamers, the people who read the whitepaper and said, âYeah, this is the way.â
So if you have Bitcoin, do not treat it like a relic from a past battle. Use it to empower the next builder. Fund a project. Spark a new idea. Help decentralize the next thing.
You got into Bitcoin to protect your future maybe even to get rich but also to bring some change to the world.
HODLing was the first act.
Building is the second.
Angor is where we build.
Letâs make sure the next wave of Bitcoiners do not just see price charts. Let them see tools, apps, ideas, and communities that actually do something. Real things. Useful things. Built on the hardest money the world has ever known.
You in?
Thanks for reading, See yâall soon for another blog post. Ciao

2025-04-04 18:47:27Zwei mal drei macht vier, \ widewidewitt und drei macht neune, \ ich mach mir die Welt, \ widewide wie sie mir gefÃĪllt. \ Pippi Langstrumpf
Egal, ob Koalitionsverhandlungen oder politischer Alltag: Die Kontroversen zwischen theoretisch verschiedenen Parteien verschwinden, wenn es um den Kampf gegen politische Gegner mit RÞckenwind geht. Wer den Alteingesessenen die PfrÞnde ernsthaft streitig machen kÃķnnte, gegen den werden nicht nur ÂŦBrandmauernÂŧ errichtet, sondern der wird notfalls auch strafrechtlich verfolgt. Doppelstandards sind dabei selbstverstÃĪndlich inklusive.
In Frankreich ist diese Woche Marine Le Pen wegen der Veruntreuung von EU-Geldern von einem Gericht verurteilt worden. Als Teil der Strafe wurde sie fÞr fÞnf Jahre vom passiven Wahlrecht ausgeschlossen. Obwohl das Urteil nicht rechtskrÃĪftig ist â Le Pen kann in Berufung gehen â, haben die Richter das Verbot, bei Wahlen anzutreten, mit sofortiger Wirkung verhÃĪngt. Die Vorsitzende des rechtsnationalen Rassemblement National (RN) galt als aussichtsreiche Kandidatin fÞr die PrÃĪsidentschaftswahl 2027.
Das ist in diesem Jahr bereits der zweite gravierende Fall von Wahlbeeinflussung durch die Justiz in einem EU-Staat. In RumÃĪnien hatte CÄlin Georgescu im November die erste Runde der PrÃĪsidentenwahl Þberraschend gewonnen. Das Ergebnis wurde spÃĪter annulliert, die behauptete ÂŦrussische WahlmanipulationÂŧ konnte jedoch nicht bewiesen werden. Die Kandidatur fÞr die Wahlwiederholung im Mai wurde Georgescu kÞrzlich durch das Verfassungsgericht untersagt.
Die Veruntreuung Ãķffentlicher Gelder muss untersucht und geahndet werden, das steht auÃer Frage. Diese Anforderung darf nicht selektiv angewendet werden. Hingegen mussten wir in der Vergangenheit bei ungleich schwerwiegenderen FÃĪllen von (mutmaÃlichem) Missbrauch ganz andere Vorgehensweisen erleben, etwa im Fall der heutigen EZB-Chefin Christine Lagarde oder im ÂŦPfizergateÂŧ-Skandal um die PrÃĪsidentin der EU-Kommission Ursula von der Leyen.
Wenngleich derartige Angelegenheiten formal auf einer rechtsstaatlichen Grundlage beruhen mÃķgen, so bleibt ein bitterer Beigeschmack. Es stellt sich die Frage, ob und inwieweit die Justiz politisch instrumentalisiert wird. Dies ist umso interessanter, als die Gewaltenteilung einen essenziellen Teil jeder demokratischen Ordnung darstellt, wÃĪhrend die BekÃĪmpfung des politischen Gegners mit juristischen Mitteln gerade bei den am lautesten rufenden Verteidigern ÂŦunserer DemokratieÂŧ populÃĪr zu sein scheint.
Die Delegationen von CDU/CSU und SPD haben bei ihren Verhandlungen Þber eine Regierungskoalition genau solche MaÃnahmen diskutiert. ÂŦIm Namen der Wahrheit und der DemokratieÂŧ mÃķchte man noch hÃĪrter gegen ÂŦDesinformationÂŧ vorgehen und dafÞr zum Beispiel den Digital Services Act der EU erweitern. Auch soll der Tatbestand der Volksverhetzung verschÃĪrft werden â und im Entzug des passiven Wahlrechts mÞnden kÃķnnen. Auf europÃĪischer Ebene wÞrde Friedrich Merz wohl gerne Ungarn das Stimmrecht entziehen.
Der Pegel an Unzufriedenheit und Frustration wÃĪchst in groÃen Teilen der BevÃķlkerung kontinuierlich. Arroganz, Machtmissbrauch und immer abstrusere Ausreden fÞr offensichtlich willkÞrliche MaÃnahmen werden kaum verhindern, dass den etablierten Parteien die UnterstÞtzung entschwindet. In Deutschland sind die Umfrageergebnisse der AfD ein guter Gradmesser dafÞr.

2025-04-03 07:42:25Spanien bleibt einer der Vorreiter im europÃĪischen Prozess der totalen Ãberwachung per Digitalisierung. Seit Mittwoch ist dort der digitale Personalausweis verfÞgbar. Dabei handelt es sich um eine Regierungs-App, die auf dem Smartphone installiert werden muss und in den Stores von Google und Apple zu finden ist. Per Dekret von Regierungschef Pedro SÃĄnchez und Zustimmung des Ministerrats ist diese MaÃnahme jetzt in Kraft getreten.
Mit den Þblichen Argumenten der Vereinfachung, des Komforts, der Effizienz und der Sicherheit preist das Innenministerium die ÂŦInnovationÂŧ an. Auch die Beteuerung, dass die digitale Variante parallel zum physischen Ausweis existieren wird und diesen nicht ersetzen soll, fehlt nicht. WÃĪhrend der ersten zwÃķlf Monate wird ÂŦder NeueÂŧ noch nicht fÞr alle AnwendungsfÃĪlle gÞltig sein, ab 2026 aber schon.
Dass die ganze Sache auch ÂŦRisiken und NebenwirkungenÂŧ haben kÃķnnte, wird in den Mainstream-Medien eher selten thematisiert. Bestenfalls wird der Aspekt der Datensicherheit angesprochen, allerdings in der Regel direkt mit dem Regierungsvokabular von den ÂŦmaximalen SicherheitsgarantienÂŧ abgehandelt. Dennoch gibt es einige weitere Aspekte, die BÞrger mit etwas Sinn fÞr PrivatsphÃĪre bedenken sollten.
Um sich die digitale Version des nationalen Ausweises besorgen zu kÃķnnen (eine App mit dem Namen MiDNI), muss man sich vorab online registrieren. Dabei wird die IdentitÃĪt des BÞrgers mit seiner mobilen Telefonnummer verknÞpft. Diese obligatorische fixe Verdrahtung kennen wir von diversen anderen Apps und Diensten. Gleichzeitig ist das die Basis fÞr eine perfekte Lokalisierbarkeit der Person.
FÞr jeden Vorgang der Identifikation in der Praxis wird spÃĪter ÂŦeine Verbindung zu den Servern der Bundespolizei aufgebautÂŧ. Die Daten des Individuums werden ÂŦin EchtzeitÂŧ verifiziert und im Erfolgsfall von der Polizei signiert zurÞckgegeben. Das Ergebnis ist ein QR-Code mit zeitlich begrenzter GÞltigkeit, der an Dritte weitergegeben werden kann.
Bei derartigen Szenarien strÃĪuben sich einem halbwegs kritischen StaatsbÞrger die Nackenhaare. Allein diese minimale Funktionsbeschreibung lÃĪsst die totale Ãberwachung erkennen, die damit ermÃķglicht wird. Jede Benutzung des Ausweises wird kÞnftig registriert, hinterlÃĪsst also Spuren. Und was ist, wenn die Server der Polizei einmal kein grÞnes Licht geben? Das wÃĪre spÃĪtestens dann ein Problem, wenn der digitale doch irgendwann der einzig gÞltige Ausweis ist: Dann haben wir den abschaltbaren BÞrger.
Dieser neue Vorstoà der Regierung von Pedro SÃĄnchez ist ein weiterer Schritt in Richtung der ÂŦtotalen DigitalisierungÂŧ des Landes, wie diese Politik in manchen Medien â nicht einmal kritisch, sondern sehr naiv â genannt wird. Ebenso verharmlosend wird auch erwÃĪhnt, dass sich das spanische Projekt des digitalen Ausweises nahtlos in die Initiativen der EU zu einer digitalen IdentitÃĪt fÞr alle BÞrger sowie des digitalen Euro einreiht.
In Zukunft kÃķnnte der neue Ausweis ÂŦauch in andere staatliche und private digitale Plattformen integriert werdenÂŧ, wie das Medienportal Cope ganz richtig bemerkt. Das ist die Perspektive.

2025-05-10 07:19:47Relays play a crucial role in the Nostr communication protocol, serving as the backbone of its decentralized architecture. Hereâs an overview of their functions and significance:
Functions of Nostr Relays
-
Data Storage and Broadcasting: Relays act as intermediaries that store and distribute messages between users. When a user sends a message, it is transmitted to one or more relays, which then broadcast that message to other connected clients. This decentralized approach ensures that no single entity controls the flow of information, enhancing censorship resistance[1][2][6].
-
Interoperability: Users can connect to multiple relays simultaneously, allowing them to access the same content across different applications. This interoperability means that messages can be shared and retrieved from various clients without being tied to a specific platform, promoting a more flexible user experience[4][11].
-
User Control: Anyone can run their own relay, which empowers users to maintain control over their data and interactions. By operating a personal relay, users can ensure that their messages are stored and accessible without relying on third-party services, thus enhancing privacy and security[3][7][11].
-
Performance and Reliability: The performance of a Nostr client can be influenced by the relays it connects to. If a relay is slow or unreliable, it can affect the overall user experience. Users are encouraged to choose or add multiple relays to improve message delivery speed and reliability[7][8][11].
Types of Relays
-
Public and Private Relays: There are both public and private relays available. Public relays are free to use, while private relays may charge fees. Paid relays often provide better performance and reduced spam, as the cost can deter malicious users from flooding the network with unwanted content[6][7][14].
-
Self-Hosted Relays: For those who want maximum control and privacy, setting up a self-hosted relay is an option. This allows users to manage their own data and ensure that their communications are not subject to external censorship or data loss[4][7].
In summary, relays are essential to the Nostr protocol, facilitating decentralized communication by storing, broadcasting, and managing messages across a network of users. They enhance user autonomy, improve performance, and contribute to the overall resilience of the Nostr ecosystem.

2025-05-09 03:05:22Humans are evolving with social media & devices. These are powerful tools, but neither is built with their users' health and well-being in mind.
The big tech business incentives are a higher priority than their users' health & well being. This results in their products being designed to capture as much attention from you as possible so they can profit.
Many are realizing this. Few know there are emerging, viable alternatives.
Nostr is a new model for social media (and much more).
Bitcoin is a new model for money.
nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7ct49eex2mrp09skymr99ehhyecpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqqyr4aa6ffghhs22pmuzkrmcjhslyp56jc5y84druuddsanh238td66va34er is a new model for computers.
This article will explain why Nostr is primed to be the new model for social media.
âWe cannot have a society in which, if two people wish to communicate, the only way that can happen, is if itâs financed by a third party who wishes to manipulate youâ - Jaron Lanier
What is Nostr? What is Primal?
Iâve done a wonderful job of confusing people by interchanging the words Nostr & Primal. So allow me a brief, high level explanation.
Nostr is an internet protocol that allows for censorship resistant social media.
An internet protocol is a set of rules that computers follow to communicate with each other.
Nostr stands for Notes & Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays.
Primal is an app built on Nostr. I work for Primal the company.
When you post to Primal, you can see your content in other Nostr apps. Primal doesnât own you, your content or identity. You do. You can take your content and followers to any Nostr app.
In this gif, you can see my content in 5 different Nostr apps.
Nostr is like email, but for social mediaâitâs a system where anyone can send and receive posts using any app they like. Similar to how you would send an email to everyone you know. Everyone will receive that email no matter what email service provider theyâre using (yahoo, gmail, proton, apple etc).
When you âcreate an accountâ on Primal, you create a password that you can use to log in to any Nostr app. Your password is called a private key and you can use that to log in to any apps that are built on Nostr. See them here at nostrapps.com.
All this may sound a bit confusing, but this is just what's going on under the hood. Primal will feel like any other social media app. Check out this image below to learn more and be sure to keep your private key (your password) safe!
#### How I got into Nostr
Long story short, if youâve been in to Bitcoin, you at least know about Nostr. I used Twitter as my primary news/Bitcoin source for the past 8 years and followed the Trump and Covid dramas closely.Â
Iâve come to the conclusion that social media needs to be protocol based and decentralized.
The first Nostr conference in March of 2023 was in Uvita, Costa Rica. I was living in the area, so of course I showed up. Hereâs a brief video we made from the conference.
Why I'm Stoked on Nostr
The Everything App for Social Media
This is the original idea that made the lightbulb in my head go off. 1 identity for all types of content.
I have accounts on Youtube, Twitter, Nostr, Instagram, TikTok, & Medium. That means 6 different logins, 6 different follower sets, and 6 places to post when I have something to share.
With Nostr, I have 1 identity, 1 follower set, & (potentially) 1 place to post each type of content.
On the Left - 5 apps, 5 identities. Right - 5 apps, 1 identity
The Nostr apps are in their infancy, but I can imagine a future with more diverse apps specified by content type (blogs, long form vid, vertical vids, music, etc.).
The ability to post all of your content to (potentially) one app and giving your audience the choice to consume that content in whatever app they please is revolutionary.
X wants to be the everything app as well. It looks like it's heading towards becoming the WeChat of the West. This begs the question... Does the infrastructure for social media need to be owned by singular corporations or governments?

Nostr is the tool to orange pill the world
Orange pilling is a slightly cringe term used to describe educating people about Bitcoin. In Nostr, we say purple pilling because for some reason, Nostrâs theme is purple.
Jargon aside, the reason I believe that Nostr will orange pill the world is because of zaps!
Zaps are micropayments of bitcoin. You can send zaps on posts as easily as you can send likes on posts with Primalâs built in wallet and creators keep 100% of what they earn. Theyâre the best way to really feel the Nostr difference.Â
Hereâs an example of me zapping 210 sats to a few people with one click.
I've now personally watched over 20 people receive and send their1st Bitcoin transactions minutes after downloading Primal. Right away you pop two cherries, owning Bitcoin and sending Bitcoin. Pretty rad.Â
It's a fundamentally different experience to touch Bitcoin through a social media style app than it is to buy bitcoin from an exchange. Someone new on Primal immediately has a use case for Bitcoin upon downloading the app. Zaps!
Nostr is known as the Bitcoiner social network. It could be/is becoming the place for newbies to come learn about Bitcoin, and interact with people who can help teach. I see a massive opportunity for Primal to play a huge role in this transition to a bitcoin standard.
I wonder how often this scenario with nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyv8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytn0wpjku6r0danxgtnwdsqzpq8gr333mlm73rnsfv2uvsrtvg44l5l5r0qrn6c0fw08t5hkccwarhnfev will repeat. Also, check out this video about how zaps got nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctvqqstkm5tw5w2f2qg2zp0tzxk9junagtrqeayyxnzggqcphgec9p37ncc26xj6 to read The Bitcoin Standard.
Micropayments on the internet are only possible with digitally native money.
Zaps are signal. Theyâre pure life force energy given to another person in appreciation for their content and it's unique to Nostr.
Social media is simply better with payments. You cannot unsee or unfeel this. We're only beginning to scratch the surface of what zaps mean to a social network. Should be fun :)
Sovereignty
Today, our digital lives are owned. Our data, identity, and content can be taken away.
Nostr flips this. We own our identity & choose where our data lives. Companies no longer have singular control over the flow of information.
Bitcoin gives you private keys for money. Nostr gives you private keys for speech.
On X and Instagram, we make a username and password. We are renting these identities from these corporations. How do we know these identities are not yours? Because they can be taken away from you.
With Nostr, you and only you have your keys. You can post anytime, from any app, using your own key. If Primal stops working, no big deal. You could post from other Nostr apps.
I believe thereâs something deeper going on here. Humans are sovereign beings. Being sovereign means being in full control.Â
With Nostr & Bitcoin, we can be in complete control of our money & speech.Â
These tools empower humans and reduce our need for dependence on 3rd parties.
Nostr allows us to create & share freely without the potential of being silenced for âwrongthinkâ.Â
Itâs time for those who care about sovereignty to build their brands on their own land.
Nostr is Organic
Facebook wanted to connect the world. Theyâve done an absolutely fantastic job at this. But at what cost?Â
The ad model has been the best way for platforms to monetize their services. This leads to bad incentives. Social media sites need you to spend as much time as possible on their apps so that they can sell your attention to advertisers.Â
Maybe thereâs more ethical ways to advertise that do not lead to perverse incentives, but this isnât the point.Â
Now, social media is basically a dopamine slot machine serving us things that weâre most likely to engage with. Whatever we lend our eyes to, purposefully or not, is the content weâre fed. Engagement is the north star of current social media. This modifies the behavior of everyone on the app.Â
These algorithms have been weaponized at times. And many would say that theyâre programming us.
Let me speak in meme for a moment here:
Itâs different on Nostr
After using Nostr for a couple years, itâs clearer to me when I switch to another social media platform that they are doing everything they can to grab my attention. They being the platform and the creators. I can feel when people create for an algo vs. for an audience.Â
With Primal, I can select which algorithm I want to use or create my own feeds using Primalâs advanced search. (I expect these tools to get much better over time.) This gives the user much more control over what they see vs a singular algorithm. Algorithmic choice is something that legacy social media platforms are greatly missing. Â
I can also control which feed I want to see when I open the app. For example, I created this feed of one person saying âSTAY FOCUSED CHAMPâ so when I open the app Iâm not immediately distracted. Look at what instagram does when you want to simply search for someoneâs accountâĶ
I canât help but envision a world where all of the content is posted to Nostr. The apps with the best user experiences would win. Iâd imagine the winners would have the best algos, least intrusive ads, and would give their users the most control over their experience.
Thought Experiment
Pretend youâre a super intelligent being looking down upon the earth.Â
The1st thing youâd notice is that theyâre always staring at their phones. Youâd also notice that while they have an abundant earth, they insist on chemically altering their food which is making them sick.Â
Then, youâd notice that the money humans work their entire lives for can be and is manipulated by central authorities with zero effort.Â
And, youâd notice that the âdigital global town squareâ is owned by a unelected, fallable humans and corporations.\ Itâs laughable!Â
It doesnât have to be this way anymore. And itâs up to us to change it.
To conclude.
This article is not meant to trash talk other platforms, those who use them, or those who created them. I use them daily. Mostly to advocate for Nostr & Bitcoin these days.
These platforms have created a ton of value for the world, & Nostr can be used alongside of them.
Maybe if Nostr existed back then, they wouldâve built on it.Â
âWe shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape usâ. Weâve learned priceless lessons from the evolution of social media thus far. We can use these lessons to shape tools with our health & well-being as our first priority.Â
We can obsolete these outdated, unhealthy systems.Â
Nostro and Nuestro mean 'ours' in Italian & Spanish. I don't think this a coincidence. Nostr is our chance to create a better internet for our future generations.

2025-03-31 21:48:50In seinem Beitrag vom 30. MÃĪrz 2025 fragt Henning Rosenbusch auf Telegram angesichts zunehmender digitaler Kontrolle und staatlicher Allmacht:
âWie soll sich gegen eine solche Tyrannei noch ein Widerstand formieren kÃķnnen, selbst im Untergrund? Sehe ich nicht.â\ (Quelle: t.me/rosenbusch/25228)
Er beschreibt damit ein GefÞhl der Ohnmacht, das viele teilen: Eine Welt, in der Totalitarismus nicht mehr mit Panzern, sondern mit Algorithmen kommt. Wo Zugriff auf Geld, Meinungsfreiheit und Teilhabe vom Wohlverhalten abhÃĪngt. Der BÞrger als kontrollierbare Variable im Code des Staates.\ Die Frage ist berechtigt. Doch die Antwort darauf liegt nicht in alten Widerstandsbildern â sondern in einer neuen RealitÃĪt.
-- Denn es braucht keinen Untergrund mehr. --
Der Widerstand der Zukunft trÃĪgt keinen Tarnanzug. Er ist nicht konspirativ, sondern transparent. Nicht bewaffnet, sondern mathematisch beweisbar. Bitcoin steht nicht am Rand dieser Entwicklung â es ist ihr Fundament. Eine Bastion aus physikalischer RealitÃĪt, spieltheoretischem Schutz und Ãķkonomischer Wahrheit. Es ist nicht unfehlbar, aber unbestechlich. Nicht perfekt, aber immun gegen zentrale WillkÞr.
Hier entsteht kein âdigitales Gegenreichâ, sondern eine dezentrale Renaissance. Keine Revolte aus Wut, sondern eine stille Abkehr: von Zwang zu Freiwilligkeit, von AbhÃĪngigkeit zu Selbstverantwortung. Diese Revolution fÞhrt keine Kriege. Sie braucht keine FÞhrer. Sie ist ein Netzwerk. Jeder Knoten ein Individuum. Jede Entscheidung ein Akt der SelbstermÃĪchtigung.
Weltweit wachsen Freiheits-Zitadellen aus dieser Idee: wirtschaftlich autark, digital souverÃĪn, lokal verankert und global vernetzt. Sie sind keine Utopien im luftleeren Raum, sondern konkrete RealitÃĪten â angetrieben von Energie, Code und dem menschlichen Wunsch nach WÞrde.
Der Globalismus alter PrÃĪgung â zentralistisch, monopolistisch, bevormundend â wird an seiner eigenen Hybris zerbrechen. Seine Werkzeuge der Kontrolle werden ihn nicht retten. Im Gegenteil: Seine Geister werden ihn verfolgen und erlegen.
Und wÃĪhrend die alten MÃĪchte um Erhalt kÃĪmpfen, wÃĪchst eine neue Welt â nicht im Schatten, sondern im Offenen. Nicht auf Gewalt gebaut, sondern auf Mathematik, Physik und Freiheit.
Die Tyrannei sieht keinen Widerstand.\ Weil sie nicht erkennt, dass er lÃĪngst begonnen hat.\ Unwiderruflich. Leise. Ãberall.

2025-05-10 07:06:45Nostr, which stands for "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays," is a decentralized communication protocol designed to facilitate the exchange of messages without relying on centralized servers. This innovative framework allows users to create, broadcast, and receive messages freely, emphasizing user empowerment and censorship resistance.
Key Features of Nostr
-
Decentralization: Unlike traditional social media platforms, Nostr operates on a network of relays, which are servers that anyone can run. This structure eliminates the control that a single entity can exert over the platform, thereby reducing the risk of censorship and enhancing user privacy[1][4][5].
-
Open Protocol: Nostr is not an application itself but a protocol that developers can use to build various applications. This openness allows for a wide range of services, from social media to messaging, all built on the same underlying technology. Users can access multiple applications using a single public/private key pair, making it easier to manage their online identities[2][3][4].
-
Censorship Resistance: One of the primary motivations behind Nostr's creation is to provide a platform where users can communicate without fear of censorship. This is particularly appealing to those disillusioned with traditional social media platforms that often impose restrictions on content[5][10].
-
User Control: Nostr empowers users by allowing them to control their data and interactions. Users can choose which relays to connect to and can run their own relays, ensuring that they are not dependent on any single service provider[4][5][7].
-
Cryptographic Security: The protocol employs public-key cryptography to secure messages and verify identities, similar to how Bitcoin operates. This ensures that messages are authentic and have not been tampered with during transmission[5][10].
Applications and Community
Nostr has gained traction among various communities, particularly within the cryptocurrency space, where figures like Jack Dorsey and Edward Snowden have expressed support for its potential to reshape online communication. The protocol's design allows for a variety of applications, including social media platforms, chat services, and content sharing tools, all of which can interoperate seamlessly[2][3][5].
In summary, Nostr represents a significant shift in how digital communication can be structured, prioritizing decentralization, user autonomy, and resistance to censorship, making it a compelling alternative to conventional social media platforms.

2025-03-31 07:23:05Der Irrsinn ist bei Einzelnen etwas Seltenes â \ aber bei Gruppen, Parteien, VÃķlkern, Zeiten die Regel. \ Friedrich Nietzsche
Erinnern Sie sich an die HorrorkomÃķdie ÂŦScary MovieÂŧ? Nicht, dass ich diese Art Filme besonders erinnerungswÞrdig fÃĪnde, aber einige Szenen daraus sind doch gewissermaÃen Klassiker. Dazu zÃĪhlt eine, die das Verhalten vieler Protagonisten in Horrorfilmen parodiert, wenn sie in Panik flÞchten. Welchen Weg nimmt wohl die Frau in der Situation auf diesem Bild?
Diese Szene kommt mir automatisch in den Sinn, wenn ich aktuelle Entwicklungen in Europa betrachte. Weitreichende Entscheidungen gehen wider jede Logik in die vÃķllig falsche Richtung. Nur ist das hier alles andere als eine KomÃķdie, sondern bitterernst. Dieser Horror ist leider sehr real.
Die EuropÃĪische Union hat sich selbst Þber Jahre konsequent in eine Sackgasse manÃķvriert. Sie hat es versÃĪumt, sich und ihre Politik selbstbewusst und im Einklang mit ihren Wurzeln auf dem eigenen Kontinent zu positionieren. Stattdessen ist sie in blinder Treue den vermeintlichen ÂŦtransatlantischen FreundenÂŧ auf ihrem Konfrontationskurs gen Osten gefolgt.
In den USA haben sich die Vorzeichen allerdings mittlerweile geÃĪndert, und die einst hoch gelobten ÂŦFreunde und PartnerÂŧ erscheinen den europÃĪischen ÂŦFÞhrernÂŧ nicht mehr vertrauenswÞrdig. Das ist spÃĪtestens seit der MÞnchner Sicherheitskonferenz, der Rede von VizeprÃĪsident J. D. Vance und den empÃķrten Reaktionen offensichtlich. GroÃe Teile Europas wirken seitdem wie ein aufgescheuchter Haufen kopfloser HÞhner. Orientierung und Kontrolle sind vÃķllig abhanden gekommen.
Statt jedoch umzukehren oder wenigstens zu bremsen und vielleicht einen Abzweig zu suchen, geben die Crash-Piloten jetzt auf dem Weg durch die Sackgasse erst richtig Gas. Ja sie lÃķsen sogar noch die Sicherheitsgurte und deaktivieren die Airbags. Den vor Angst dauergelÃĪhmten Passagieren fÃĪllt auch nichts Besseres ein und so schlieÃen sie einfach die Augen. Derweil Þbertrumpfen sich die Kommentatoren des Events gegenseitig in sensationslÞsterner ÂŦBerichterstattungÂŧ.
Wie schon die deutsche AuÃenministerin mit hÃķchsten UN-Ambitionen, Annalena Baerbock, proklamiert auch die EuropÃĪische Kommission einen ÂŦFrieden durch StÃĪrkeÂŧ. Zu dem jetzt vorgelegten, selbstzerstÃķrerischen Fahrplan zur Ankurbelung der RÞstungsindustrie, genannt ÂŦWeiÃbuch zur europÃĪischen Verteidigung â Bereitschaft 2030Âŧ, erklÃĪrte die KommissionsprÃĪsidentin, die ÂŦÃra der FriedensdividendeÂŧ sei lÃĪngst vorbei. Soll das heiÃen, Frieden bringt nichts ein? Eine umfassende Zusammenarbeit an dauerhaften europÃĪischen FriedenslÃķsungen steht demnach jedenfalls nicht zur Debatte.
ZusÃĪtzlich brisant ist, dass aktuell ÂŦdie ganze EU von Deutschen regiert wirdÂŧ, wie der EU-Parlamentarier und ehemalige UN-Diplomat Michael von der Schulenburg beobachtet hat. TatsÃĪchlich sitzen neben von der Leyen und Strack-Zimmermann noch einige weitere Deutsche in â vor allem auch in Krisenzeiten â wichtigen Spitzenposten der Union. Vor dem Hintergrund der Kriegstreiberei in Deutschland muss eine solche Dominanz mindestens nachdenklich stimmen.
Ihre ursprÞnglichen Grundwerte wie Demokratie, Freiheit, Frieden und VÃķlkerverstÃĪndigung hat die EU kontinuierlich in leere WorthÞlsen verwandelt. Diese werden dafÞr immer lÃĪcherlicher hochgehalten und beschworen.
Es wird dringend Zeit, dass wir, der SouverÃĪn, diesem erbÃĪrmlichen und gefÃĪhrlichen Trauerspiel ein Ende setzen und die FÃĪden selbst in die Hand nehmen. In diesem Sinne fordert uns auch das ÂŦEuropean Peace ProjectÂŧ auf, am 9. Mai im Rahmen eines Kunstprojekts den Frieden auszurufen. Seien wir dabei!

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 doesnât know where the economy is headed, or is unwilling to take a position. At this point, âhope for the bestâ is Fed policy.

2025-03-23 11:39:41I don't believe in "vibe coding" â it's just the newest Silicon Valley fad trying to give meaning to their latest favorite technology, LLMs. We've seen this pattern before with blockchain, when suddenly Non Fungible Tokens appeared, followed by Web3 startups promising to revolutionize everything from social media to supply chains. VCs couldn't throw money fast enough at anything with "decentralized" (in name only) in the pitch deck. Andreessen Horowitz launched billion-dollar crypto funds, while Y Combinator batches filled with blockchain startups promising to be "Uber for X, but on the blockchain."
The metaverse mania followed, with Meta betting its future on digital worlds where we'd supposedly hang out as legless avatars. Decentralized (in name only) autonomous organizations emerged as the next big thing â supposedly democratic internet communities that ended up being the next scam for quick money.
Then came the inevitable collapse. The FTX implosion in late 2022 revealed fraud, Luna/Terra's death spiral wiped out billions (including my ten thousand dollars), while Celsius and BlockFi froze customer assets before bankruptcy.
By 2023, crypto winter had fully set in. The SEC started aggressive enforcement actions, while users realized that blockchain technology had delivered almost no practical value despite a decade of promises.
Blockchain's promises tapped into fundamental human desires â decentralization resonated with a generation disillusioned by traditional institutions. Evangelists presented a utopian vision of freedom from centralized control. Perhaps most significantly, crypto offered a sense of meaning in an increasingly abstract world, making the clear signs of scams harder to notice.
The technology itself had failed to solve any real-world problems at scale. By 2024, the once-mighty crypto ecosystem had become a cautionary tale. Venture firms quietly scrubbed blockchain references from their websites while founders pivoted to AI and large language models.
Most reading this are likely fellow bitcoiners and nostr users who understand that Bitcoin is blockchain's only valid use case. But I shared that painful history because I believe the AI-hype cycle will follow the same trajectory.
Just like with blockchain, we're now seeing VCs who once couldn't stop talking about "Web3" falling over themselves to fund anything with "AI" in the pitch deck. The buzzwords have simply changed from "decentralized" to "intelligent."
"Vibe coding" is the perfect example â a trendy name for what is essentially just fuzzy instructions to LLMs. Developers who've spent years honing programming skills are now supposed to believe that "vibing" with an AI is somehow a legitimate methodology.
This might be controversial to some, but obvious to others:
Formal, context-free grammar will always remain essential for building precise systems, regardless of how advanced natural language technology becomes
The mathematical precision of programming languages provides a foundation that human language's ambiguity can never replace. Programming requires precision â languages, compilers, and processors operate on explicit instructions, not vibes. What "vibe coding" advocates miss is that beneath every AI-generated snippet lies the same deterministic rules that have always governed computation.
LLMs don't understand code in any meaningful senseâthey've just ingested enormous datasets of human-written code and can predict patterns. When they "work," it's because they've seen similar patterns before, not because they comprehend the underlying logic.
This creates a dangerous dependency. Junior developers "vibing" with LLMs might get working code without understanding the fundamental principles. When something breaks in production, they'll lack the knowledge to fix it.
Even experienced developers can find themselves in treacherous territory when relying too heavily on LLM-generated code. What starts as a productivity boost can transform into a dependency crutch.
The real danger isn't just technical limitations, but the false confidence it instills. Developers begin to believe they understand systems they've merely instructed an AI to generate â fundamentally different from understanding code you've written yourself.
We're already seeing the warning signs: projects cobbled together with LLM-generated code that work initially but become maintenance nightmares when requirements change or edge cases emerge.
The venture capital money is flowing exactly as it did with blockchain. Anthropic raised billions, OpenAI is valued astronomically despite minimal revenue, and countless others are competing to build ever-larger models with vague promises. Every startup now claims to be "AI-powered" regardless of whether it makes sense.
Don't get me wrongâthere's genuine innovation happening in AI research. But "vibe coding" isn't it. It's a marketing term designed to make fuzzy prompting sound revolutionary.
Cursor perfectly embodies this AI hype cycle. It's an AI-enhanced code editor built on VS Code that promises to revolutionize programming by letting you "chat with your codebase." Just like blockchain startups promised to "revolutionize" industries, Cursor promises to transform development by adding LLM capabilities.
Yes, Cursor can be genuinely helpful. It can explain unfamiliar code, suggest completions, and help debug simple issues. After trying it for just an hour, I found the autocomplete to be MAGICAL for simple refactoring and basic functionality.
But the marketing goes far beyond reality. The suggestion that you can simply describe what you want and get production-ready code is dangerously misleading. What you get are approximations with:
- Security vulnerabilities the model doesn't understand
- Edge cases it hasn't considered
- Performance implications it can't reason about
- Dependency conflicts it has no way to foresee
The most concerning aspect is how such tools are marketed to beginners as shortcuts around learning fundamentals. "Why spend years learning to code when you can just tell AI what you want?" This is reminiscent of how crypto was sold as a get-rich-quick scheme requiring no actual understanding.
When you "vibe code" with an AI, you're not eliminating complexityâyou're outsourcing understanding to a black box. This creates developers who can prompt but not program, who can generate but not comprehend.
The real utility of LLMs in development is in augmenting existing workflows:
- Explaining unfamiliar codebases
- Generating boilerplate for well-understood patterns
- Suggesting implementations that a developer evaluates critically
- Assisting with documentation and testing
These uses involve the model as a subordinate assistant to a knowledgeable developer, not as a replacement for expertise. This is where the technology adds valueâas a sophisticated tool in skilled hands.
Cursor is just a better hammer, not a replacement for understanding what you're building. The actual value emerges when used by developers who understand what happens beneath the abstractions. They can recognize when AI suggestions make sense and when they don't because they have the fundamental knowledge to evaluate output critically.
This is precisely where the "vibe coding" narrative falls apart.

2025-03-21 19:41:50Wir werden nicht zulassen, dass technisch manches mÃķglich ist, \ aber der Staat es nicht nutzt. \ Angela Merkel
Die Modalverben zu erklÃĪren, ist im Deutschunterricht manchmal nicht ganz einfach. Nicht alle Fremdsprachen unterscheiden zum Beispiel bei der Frage nach einer MÃķglichkeit gleichermaÃen zwischen ÂŦkÃķnnenÂŧ im Sinne von ÂŦdie Gelegenheit, Kenntnis oder FÃĪhigkeit habenÂŧ und ÂŦdÞrfenÂŧ als ÂŦdie Erlaubnis oder Berechtigung habenÂŧ. Das spanische Wort ÂŦpoderÂŧ etwa steht fÞr beides.
Ebenso ist vielen SchÞlern auf den ersten Blick nicht recht klar, dass das logische Gegenteil von ÂŦmÞssenÂŧ nicht unbedingt ÂŦnicht mÞssenÂŧ ist, sondern vielmehr ÂŦnicht dÞrfenÂŧ. An den Verkehrsschildern lÃĪsst sich so etwas meistens recht gut erklÃĪren: Manchmal muss man abbiegen, aber manchmal darf man eben nicht.
Dieses Beispiel soll ein wenig die Verwirrungstaktik veranschaulichen, die in der Politik gerne verwendet wird, um unpopulÃĪre oder restriktive MaÃnahmen StÞck fÞr StÞck einzufÞhren. Zuerst ist etwas einfach innovativ und bringt viele Vorteile. Vor allem ist es freiwillig, jeder kann selber entscheiden, niemand muss mitmachen. SpÃĪter kann man zunehmend weniger Alternativen wÃĪhlen, weil sie verschwinden, und irgendwann verwandelt sich alles andere in ÂŦnicht dÞrfenÂŧ â die MaÃnahme ist obligatorisch.
Um die Durchsetzung derartiger Initiativen strategisch zu unterstÞtzen und nett zu verpacken, gibt es Lobbyisten, gerne auch NGOs genannt. Dass das ÂŦNGÂŧ am Anfang dieser AbkÞrzung Þbersetzt ÂŦNicht-Regierungs-Âŧ bedeutet, ist ein Anachronismus. Das war vielleicht frÞher einmal so, heute ist eher das Gegenteil gemeint.
In unserer modernen Zeit wird enorm viel Lobbyarbeit fÞr die Digitalisierung praktisch sÃĪmtlicher Lebensbereiche aufgewendet. Was das auf dem Sektor der MobilitÃĪt bedeuten kann, haben wir diese Woche anhand aktueller Entwicklungen in Spanien beleuchtet. BegrÞndet teilweise mit Vorgaben der EuropÃĪischen Union arbeitet man dort fleiÃig an einer ÂŦneuen MobilitÃĪtÂŧ, basierend auf ÂŦintelligenterÂŧ technologischer Infrastruktur. Derartige Anwandlungen wurden auch schon als ÂŦTechnofeudalismusÂŧ angeprangert.
Nationale Zugangspunkte fÞr MobilitÃĪtsdaten im Sinne der EU gibt es nicht nur in allen MitgliedslÃĪndern, sondern auch in der Schweiz und in GroÃbritannien. Das Vereinigte KÃķnigreich beteiligt sich darÞber hinaus an anderen EU-Projekten fÞr digitale Ãberwachungs- und KontrollmaÃnahmen, wie dem biometrischen Identifizierungssystem fÞr ÂŦnachhaltigen Verkehr und TourismusÂŧ.
NatÞrlich marschiert auch Deutschland stracks und euphorisch in Richtung digitaler Zukunft. Ohne vernetzte MobilitÃĪt und einen ÂŦverlÃĪsslichen Zugang zu Daten, einschlieÃlich EchtzeitdatenÂŧ komme man in der Verkehrsplanung und -steuerung nicht aus, erklÃĪrt die Regierung. Der Interessenverband der IT-Dienstleister Bitkom will ÂŦdie digitale Transformation der deutschen Wirtschaft und Verwaltung vorantreibenÂŧ. Dazu bewirbt er unter anderem die Konzepte Smart City, Smart Region und Smart Country und behauptet, deutsche GroÃstÃĪdte ÂŦsetzen bei MobilitÃĪt voll auf DigitalisierungÂŧ.
Es steht zu befÞrchten, dass das umfassende Sammeln, Verarbeiten und Vernetzen von Daten, das angeblich die Menschen unterstÞtzen soll (und theoretisch ja auch kÃķnnte), eher dazu benutzt wird, sie zu kontrollieren und zu manipulieren. Je elektrischer und digitaler unsere Umgebung wird, desto grÃķÃer sind diese MÃķglichkeiten. Im Ergebnis kÃķnnten solche Prozesse den BÞrger nicht nur einschrÃĪnken oder ÞberflÞssig machen, sondern in mancherlei Hinsicht regelrecht abschalten. Eine gesunde Skepsis ist also geboten.

2025-05-08 21:55:46If 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.

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 â GIFs, images, and videos â 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!

2025-03-21 12:08:3119. MÃĪrz 2025
ð 1. SHA-256 is Quantum-Resistant
Bitcoinâs proof-of-work mechanism relies on SHA-256, a hashing algorithm. Even with a powerful quantum computer, SHA-256 remains secure because:
- Quantum computers excel at factoring large numbers (Shorâs Algorithm).
- However, SHA-256 is a one-way function, meaning there's no known quantum algorithm that can efficiently reverse it.
- Groverâs Algorithm (which theoretically speeds up brute force attacks) would still require 2ÂđÂēâļ operations to break SHA-256 â far beyond practical reach.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ð 2. Public Key Vulnerability â But Only If You Reuse Addresses
Bitcoin uses Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) to generate keys.
- A quantum computer could use Shorâs Algorithm to break SECP256K1, the curve Bitcoin uses.
- If you never reuse addresses, it is an additional security element
- ð 1. Bitcoin Addresses Are NOT Public Keys
Many people assume a Bitcoin address is the public keyâthis is wrong.
- When you receive Bitcoin, it is sent to a hashed public key (the Bitcoin address).
- The actual public key is never exposed because it is the Bitcoin Adress who addresses the Public Key which never reveals the creation of a public key by a spend
- Bitcoin uses Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash (P2PKH) or newer methods like Pay-to-Witness-Public-Key-Hash (P2WPKH), which add extra layers of security.
ðĩïļâïļ 2.1 The Public Key Never Appears
- When you send Bitcoin, your wallet creates a digital signature.
- This signature uses the private key to prove ownership.
- The Bitcoin address is revealed and creates the Public Key
- The public key remains hidden inside the Bitcoin script and Merkle tree.
This means: â The public key is never exposed. â Quantum attackers have nothing to target, attacking a Bitcoin Address is a zero value game.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ð 3. Bitcoin Can Upgrade
Even if quantum computers eventually become a real threat:
- Bitcoin developers can upgrade to quantum-safe cryptography (e.g., lattice-based cryptography or post-quantum signatures like Dilithium).
- Bitcoinâs decentralized nature ensures a network-wide soft fork or hard fork could transition to quantum-resistant keys.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
âģ 4. The 10-Minute Block Rule as a Security Feature
- Bitcoinâs network operates on a 10-minute block interval, meaning:Even if an attacker had immense computational power (like a quantum computer), they could only attempt an attack every 10 minutes.Unlike traditional encryption, where a hacker could continuously brute-force keys, Bitcoinâs system resets the challenge with every new block.This limits the window of opportunity for quantum attacks.
ðŊ 5. Quantum Attack Needs to Solve a Block in Real-Time
- A quantum attacker must solve the cryptographic puzzle (Proof of Work) in under 10 minutes.
- The problem? Any slight error changes the hash completely, meaning:If the quantum computer makes a mistake (even 0.0001% probability), the entire attack fails.Quantum decoherence (loss of qubit stability) makes error correction a massive challenge.The computational cost of recovering from an incorrect hash is still incredibly high.
⥠6. Network Resilience â Even if a Block Is Hacked
- Even if a quantum computer somehow solved a block instantly:The network would quickly recognize and reject invalid transactions.Other miners would continue mining under normal cryptographic rules.51% Attack? The attacker would need to consistently beat the entire Bitcoin network, which is not sustainable.
ð 7. The Logarithmic Difficulty Adjustment Neutralizes Threats
- Bitcoin adjusts mining difficulty every 2016 blocks (\~2 weeks).
- If quantum miners appeared and suddenly started solving blocks too quickly, the difficulty would adjust upward, making attacks significantly harder.
- This self-correcting mechanism ensures that even quantum computers wouldn't easily overpower the network.
ðĨ Final Verdict: Quantum Computers Are Too Slow for Bitcoin
â The 10-minute rule limits attack frequency â quantum computers canât keep up.
â Any slight miscalculation ruins the attack, resetting all progress.
â Bitcoinâs difficulty adjustment would react, neutralizing quantum advantages.
Even if quantum computers reach their theoretical potential, Bitcoinâs game theory and design make it incredibly resistant. ð

@ a95c6243:d345522c
2025-03-20 09:59:20Bald werde es verboten, alleine im Auto zu fahren, konnte man dieser Tage in verschiedenen spanischen Medien lesen. Die nationale VerkehrsbehÃķrde (DirecciÃģn General de TrÃĄfico, kurz DGT) werde Alleinfahrern das Leben schwer machen, wurde gemeldet. Konkret erÃķrtere die Generaldirektion geeignete Sanktionen fÞr Personen, die ohne Beifahrer im Privatauto unterwegs seien.
Das Alleinfahren sei zunehmend verpÃķnt und ein MentalitÃĪtswandel notwendig, hieà es. Dieser ÂŦLuxusÂŧ stehe im Widerspruch zu den MaÃnahmen gegen Umweltverschmutzung, die in allen europÃĪischen LÃĪndern gefÃķrdert wÞrden. In Frankreich sei es ÂŦbereits verboten, in der Hauptstadt allein zu fahrenÂŧ, behauptete Noticiastrabajo Huffpost in einer ZwischenÞberschrift. Nur um dann im Text zu konkretisieren, dass die sogenannte ÂŦUmweltspurÂŧ auf der Pariser Ringautobahn gemeint war, die fÞr Busse, Taxis und Fahrgemeinschaften reserviert ist. Ab Mai werden VerstÃķÃe dagegen mit einem BuÃgeld geahndet.
Die DGT jedenfalls wolle bei der Umsetzung derartiger MaÃnahmen nicht hinterherhinken. Diese Medienberichte, inklusive des angeblich bevorstehenden Verbots, beriefen sich auf Aussagen des Generaldirektors der BehÃķrde, Pere Navarro, beim MobilitÃĪtskongress Global Mobility Call im November letzten Jahres, wo es um ÂŦnachhaltige MobilitÃĪtÂŧ ging. Aus diesem Kontext stammt auch Navarros Warnung: ÂŦDie Zukunft des Verkehrs ist geteilt oder es gibt keineÂŧ.
Die ÂŦFaktencheckerÂŧ kamen der Generaldirektion prompt zu Hilfe. Die DGT habe derlei Behauptungen zurÞckgewiesen und klargestellt, dass es keine PlÃĪne gebe, Fahrten mit nur einer Person im Auto zu verbieten oder zu bestrafen. Bei solchen Meldungen handele es sich um Fake News. Teilweise wurde der Vorsitzende der spanischen ÂŦRechtsauÃenÂŧ-Partei Vox, Santiago Abascal, der Urheberschaft bezichtigt, weil er einen entsprechenden Artikel von La Gaceta kommentiert hatte.
Der Beschwichtigungsversuch der Art ÂŦniemand hat die AbsichtÂŧ ist dabei erfahrungsgemÃĪà eher ein Alarmzeichen als eine Beruhigung. Walter Ulbrichts Leugnung einer geplanten Berliner Mauer vom Juni 1961 ist vielen genauso in Erinnerung wie die Fake News-Warnungen des deutschen Bundesgesundheitsministeriums bezÞglich Lockdowns im MÃĪrz 2020 oder diverse ÃuÃerungen zu einer Impfpflicht ab 2020.
Aber Aufregung hin, Dementis her: Die Pressemitteilung der DGT zu dem MobilitÃĪtskongress enthÃĪlt in Wahrheit viel interessantere Informationen als ÂŦnurÂŧ einen Appell an den ÂŦgutenÂŧ BÞrger wegen der BemÞhungen um die LebensqualitÃĪt in GroÃstÃĪdten oder einen mÃķglichen obligatorischen Abschied vom Alleinfahren. Allerdings werden diese Details von Medien und sogenannten Faktencheckern geflissentlich Þbersehen, obwohl sie keineswegs versteckt sind. Die AuskÞnfte sind sehr aufschlussreich, wenn man genauer hinschaut.
Digitalisierung ist der SchlÞssel fÞr Kontrolle
Auf dem Kongress stellte die VerkehrsbehÃķrde ihre Initiativen zur FÃķrderung der ÂŦneuen MobilitÃĪtÂŧ vor, deren PrioritÃĪt Sicherheit und Effizienz sei. Die vier konkreten AnsÃĪtze haben alle mit Digitalisierung, Daten, Ãberwachung und Kontrolle im groÃen Stil zu tun und werden unter dem Euphemismus der ÂŦÃķffentlich-privaten PartnerschaftÂŧ angepriesen. Auch lassen sie die transhumanistische Idee vom unzulÃĪnglichen Menschen erkennen, dessen Fehler durch ÂŦintelligenteÂŧ technologische Infrastruktur kompensiert werden mÞssten.
Die Chefin des Bereichs ÂŦVerkehrsÞberwachungÂŧ erklÃĪrte die Funktion des spanischen National Access Point (NAP), wobei sie betonte, wie wichtig Verkehrs- und Infrastrukturinformationen in Echtzeit seien. Der NAP ist ÂŦeine essenzielle Web-Applikation, die unter EU-Mandat erstellt wurdeÂŧ, kann man auf der Website der DGT nachlesen.
Das Mandat meint Regelungen zu einem einheitlichen europÃĪischen Verkehrsraum, mit denen die Union mindestens seit 2010 den Aufbau einer digitalen Architektur mit offenen Schnittstellen betreibt. Damit begrÞndet man auch ÂŦumfassende Datenbereitstellungspflichten im Bereich multimodaler ReiseinformationenÂŧ. Jeder Mitgliedstaat musste einen NAP, also einen nationalen Zugangspunkt einrichten, der Zugang zu statischen und dynamischen Reise- und Verkehrsdaten verschiedener VerkehrstrÃĪger ermÃķglicht.
Diese Entwicklung ist heute schon weit fortgeschritten, auch und besonders in Spanien. Auf besagtem Kongress erlÃĪuterte die Leiterin des Bereichs ÂŦTelematikÂŧ die Plattform ÂŦDGT 3.0Âŧ. Diese werde als Integrator aller Informationen genutzt, die von den verschiedenen Ãķffentlichen und privaten Systemen, die Teil der MobilitÃĪt sind, bereitgestellt werden.
Es handele sich um eine Vermittlungsplattform zwischen Akteuren wie Fahrzeugherstellern, Anbietern von Navigationsdiensten oder Kommunen und dem Endnutzer, der die Verkehrswege benutzt. Alle seien auf Basis des Internets der Dinge (IOT) anonym verbunden, ÂŦum der vernetzten Gemeinschaft wertvolle Informationen zu liefern oder diese zu nutzenÂŧ.
So sei DGT 3.0 ÂŦein Zugangspunkt fÞr einzigartige, kostenlose und genaue Echtzeitinformationen Þber das Geschehen auf den StraÃen und in den StÃĪdtenÂŧ. Damit lasse sich der Verkehr nachhaltiger und vernetzter gestalten. Beispielsweise wÞrden die Karten des Produktpartners Google dank der DGT-Daten 50 Millionen Mal pro Tag aktualisiert.
Des Weiteren informiert die VerkehrsbehÃķrde Þber ihr SCADA-Projekt. Die AbkÞrzung steht fÞr Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, zu deutsch etwa: Kontrollierte Steuerung und Datenerfassung. Mit SCADA kombiniert man Software und Hardware, um automatisierte Systeme zur Ãberwachung und Steuerung technischer Prozesse zu schaffen. Das SCADA-Projekt der DGT wird von Indra entwickelt, einem spanischen Beratungskonzern aus den Bereichen Sicherheit & MilitÃĪr, Energie, Transport, Telekommunikation und Gesundheitsinformation.
Das SCADA-System der BehÃķrde umfasse auch eine Videostreaming- und Videoaufzeichnungsplattform, die das Hochladen in die Cloud in Echtzeit ermÃķglicht, wie Indra erklÃĪrt. Dabei gehe es um Bilder, die von Ãberwachungskameras an StraÃen aufgenommen wurden, sowie um Videos aus DGT-Hubschraubern und Drohnen. Ziel sei es, ÂŦdie sichere Weitergabe von Videos an Dritte sowie die kontinuierliche Aufzeichnung und Speicherung von Bildern zur mÃķglichen Analyse und spÃĪteren Nutzung zu ermÃķglichenÂŧ.
Letzteres klingt sehr nach biometrischer Erkennung und Auswertung durch kÞnstliche Intelligenz. FÞr eine bessere DatenÞbertragung wird derzeit die Glasfaserverkabelung entlang der LandstraÃen und Autobahnen ausgebaut. Mit der Cloud sind die Amazon Web Services (AWS) gemeint, die spanischen Daten gehen somit direkt zu einem US-amerikanischen ÂŦBig DataÂŧ-Unternehmen.
Das Thema ÂŦautonomes FahrenÂŧ, also Fahren ohne Zutun des Menschen, bildet den Abschluss der Betrachtungen der DGT. Zusammen mit dem Interessenverband der Automobilindustrie ANFAC (AsociaciÃģn EspaÃąola de Fabricantes de AutomÃģviles y Camiones) sprach man auf dem Kongress Þber Strategien und Perspektiven in diesem Bereich. Die Lobbyisten hoffen noch in diesem Jahr 2025 auf einen normativen Rahmen zur erweiterten UnterstÞtzung autonomer Technologien.
Wenn man derartige Informationen im Zusammenhang betrachtet, bekommt man eine Idee davon, warum zunehmend alles elektrisch und digital werden soll. Umwelt- und MobilitÃĪtsprobleme in StÃĪdten, wie Luftverschmutzung, LÃĪrmbelÃĪstigung, Platzmangel oder Staus, sind eine Sache. Mit dem Argument ÂŦemissionslosÂŧ wird jedoch eine Referenz zum CO2 und dem ÂŦmenschengemachten KlimawandelÂŧ hergestellt, die Emotionen triggert. Und damit wird so ziemlich alles verkauft.
Letztlich aber gilt: Je elektrischer und digitaler unsere Umgebung wird und je freigiebiger wir mit unseren Daten jeder Art sind, desto besser werden wir kontrollier-, steuer- und sogar abschaltbar. Irgendwann entscheiden KI-basierte Algorithmen, ob, wann, wie, wohin und mit wem wir uns bewegen dÞrfen. Ãber einen 15-Minuten-Radius geht dann mÃķglicherweise nichts hinaus. Die Projekte auf diesem Weg sind ernst zu nehmen, real und schon weit fortgeschritten.

2025-05-08 19:59:24Google hÃĄrom fejlett atomerÅmÅą-fejlesztÃĐsÃĐt finanszÃrozza
A Google megÃĄllapodÃĄst kÃķtÃķtt az amerikai Elementl Power nevÅą nukleÃĄris projektfejlesztÅ cÃĐggel, hogy legalÃĄbb hÃĄrom, egyenkÃĐnt 600 MW kapacitÃĄsÚ fejlett atomerÅmÅą fejlesztÃĐsÃĐt finanszÃrozza az EgyesÞlt Ãllamokban. Ezek a projektek a Google ÃĐs mÃĄs nagy technolÃģgiai cÃĐgek nÃķvekvÅ energiaigÃĐnyÃĐt szolgÃĄljÃĄk ki, kÞlÃķnÃķsen az adatkÃķzpontok ÃĐs a mestersÃĐges intelligencia (AI) miatt[7][10][19][16].

2025-05-10 03:55:38El insigne mendocino Juan Fernando Segovia falleciÃģ en el dÃa de la festividad de Nuestra SeÃąora de LujÃĄn, fecha significativa no sÃģlo por ser la Patrona rÃoplatense, sino ademÃĄs, anecdÃģticamente, porque cuando conocimos al profesor en tierras mejicanas tlaxcaltecas, escuchando la Santa Misa en la catedral (oficiada por el P. JosÃĐ RamÃģn GarcÃa Gallardo); en un altar lateral coronandolo se encuentra una imÃĄgen de la Virgen muy parecida a la advocaciÃģn, al hacerlo notar al profesor, la contemplÃģ sonriente y con mucha Fe. Este breve hecho significativo, sin duda fundamentÃģ la labor abierta de Juan Fernando Segovia de ser fiel apÃģstol intelectual por los pueblos hispÃĄnicos, pues no sÃģlo vino a compartir su sabidurÃa polÃtica, jurÃdica y moral, ademÃĄs de su genial convivencia con los asistentes en una, sino en las tres ediciones de las Conversaciones de la Ciudad CatÃģlica de Tlaxcala, haciendo notar la sinrazÃģn de la cerrazÃģn propia del nacionalismo (sin importar el apellido que le acompaÃąe). Los CÃrculos Tradicionalistas de toda la Nueva EspaÃąa (cuyos buenos frutos son en gran parte obra de la labor incansable, conferencias presenciales y virtuales, libros y artÃculos de revistas para la conformaciÃģn y formaciÃģn continua de sus miembros), lamenta el vacÃo por la partida del maestro Juan Fernando Segovia.
Que Cristo Rey, a quien fielmente sirviÃģ durante su vida, le dÃĐ el descanso eterno.

2025-03-15 10:56:08Was nÞtzt die schÃķnste Schuldenbremse, wenn der Russe vor der TÞr steht? \ Wir kÃķnnen uns verteidigen lernen oder alle Russisch lernen. \ Jens Spahn
In der Politik ist buchstÃĪblich keine Idee zu riskant, kein Mittel zu schÃĪbig und keine LÞge zu dreist, als dass sie nicht benutzt wÞrden. Aber der Clou ist, dass diese Masche immer noch funktioniert, wenn nicht sogar immer besser. Ist das alles wirklich so schwer zu durchschauen? Mir fehlen langsam die Worte.
Aktuell werden sowohl in der EuropÃĪischen Union als auch in Deutschland riesige Milliardenpakete fÞr die AufrÞstung â also fÞr die RÞstungsindustrie â geschnÞrt. Die EU will 800 Milliarden Euro locker machen, in Deutschland sollen es 500 Milliarden ÂŦSondervermÃķgenÂŧ sein. Verteidigung nennen das unsere ÂŦFÞhrerÂŧ, innerhalb der Union und auch an ÂŦunserer OstflankeÂŧ, der Ukraine.
Das nÃķtige Feindbild konnte inzwischen signifikant erweitert werden. Schuld an allem und zudem gefÃĪhrlich ist nicht mehr nur Putin, sondern jetzt auch Trump. Europa mÞsse sich sowohl gegen Russland als auch gegen die USA schÞtzen und rÞsten, wird uns eingetrichtert.
Und wÃĪhrend durch Diplomatie genau dieser beiden Staaten gerade endlich mal Bewegung in die BemÞhungen um einen Frieden oder wenigstens einen Waffenstillstand in der Ukraine kommt, rasselt man im moralisch Þberlegenen Zeigefinger-Europa so richtig mit dem SÃĪbel.
Begleitet und gestÞtzt wird der ganze Prozess â wie sollte es anders sein â von den ÂŦQualitÃĪtsmedienÂŧ. Dass Russland einen Angriff auf ÂŦEuropaÂŧ plant, weià nicht nur der deutsche Verteidigungsminister (und mit Abstand beliebteste Politiker) Pistorius, sondern dank ihnen auch jedes Kind. Uns bleiben nur noch wenige Jahre. Zum GlÞck bereitet sich die Bundeswehr schon sehr konkret auf einen Krieg vor.
Die FAZ und Corona-Gesundheitsminister Spahn markieren einen traurigen HÃķhepunkt. Hier haben sich ÂŦpolitische und publizistische Verantwortungslosigkeit propagandistisch gegenseitig befruchtetÂŧ, wie es bei den NachDenkSeiten heiÃt. Die Aussage Spahns in dem Interview, ÂŦder Russe steht vor der TÞrÂŧ, ist das eine. Die Zeitung verschÃĪrfte die Sache jedoch, indem sie das Zitat explizit in den Titel Þbernahm, der in einer ersten Version scheinbar zu harmlos war.
Eine groÃe Mehrheit der deutschen BevÃķlkerung findet AufrÞstung und mehr Schulden toll, wie ARD und ZDF sehr passend ermittelt haben wollen. Ãhnliches gelte fÞr eine noch stÃĪrkere militÃĪrische UnterstÞtzung der Ukraine. Etwas skeptischer seien die Befragten bezÞglich der Entsendung von Bundeswehrsoldaten dorthin, aber immerhin etwa fifty-fifty.
Eigentlich ist jedoch die Meinung der Menschen in ÂŦunseren DemokratienÂŧ irrelevant. Sowohl in der EuropÃĪischen Union als auch in Deutschland sind die ÂŦElitenÂŧ offenbar der Ansicht, der SouverÃĪn habe in Fragen von Krieg und Frieden sowie von aberwitzigen astronomischen Schulden kein WÃķrtchen mitzureden. Frau von der Leyen mÃķchte Þber 150 Milliarden aus dem Gesamtpaket unter Verwendung von Artikel 122 des EU-Vertrags ohne das EuropÃĪische Parlament entscheiden â wenn auch nicht vÃķllig kritiklos.
In Deutschland wollen CDU/CSU und SPD zur Aufweichung der ÂŦSchuldenbremseÂŧ mehrere Ãnderungen des Grundgesetzes durch das abgewÃĪhlte Parlament peitschen. Dieser Versuch, mit dem alten Bundestag eine Zweidrittelmehrheit zu erzielen, die im neuen nicht mehr gegeben wÃĪre, ist mindestens verfassungsrechtlich umstritten.
Das ManÃķver scheint aber zu funktionieren. Heute haben die GrÞnen zugestimmt, nachdem Kanzlerkandidat Merz lÃĪppische 100 Milliarden fÞr ÂŦirgendwas mit KlimaÂŧ zugesichert hatte. Die Abstimmung im Plenum soll am kommenden Dienstag erfolgen â nur eine Woche, bevor sich der neu gewÃĪhlte Bundestag konstituieren wird.
Interessant sind die Argumente, die BlackRocker Merz fÞr seine Attacke auf Grundgesetz und Demokratie ins Feld fÞhrt. Abgesehen von der angeblichen Eile, ÂŦunsere VerteidigungsfÃĪhigkeit deutlich zu erhÃķhenÂŧ (ausgelÃķst unter anderem durch ÂŦdie MÞnchner Sicherheitskonferenz und die Ereignisse im WeiÃen HausÂŧ), lieà uns der CDU-Chef wissen, dass Deutschland einfach auf die internationale BÞhne zurÞck mÞsse. Merz schwadronierte gefÃĪhrlich mehrdeutig:
ÂŦDie ganze Welt schaut in diesen Tagen und Wochen auf Deutschland. Wir haben in der EuropÃĪischen Union und auf der Welt eine Aufgabe, die weit Þber die Grenzen unseres eigenen Landes hinausgeht.Âŧ

2025-05-08 19:31:50Bitcoin 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:
-
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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:
-
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.
-
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.
- 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.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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?"
- 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.
- Beware of names that are too generic
Accounts like âBitcoin_Charity,â âBTC_Hope4Africa,â or âSatoshiMissionHelpâ 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 potentialâĶ 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 ââof 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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:
âI choose to support causes without going through banks, without permission, without borders, with transparency and freedom.â
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.

@ a95c6243:d345522c
2025-03-11 10:22:36ÂŦWir brauchen eine digitale Brandmauer gegen den FaschismusÂŧ, schreibt der Chaos Computer Club (CCC) auf seiner Website. Unter diesem Motto prÃĪsentierte er letzte Woche einen Forderungskatalog, mit dem sich 24 Organisationen an die kommende Bundesregierung wenden. Der Koalitionsvertrag mÞsse sich daran messen lassen, verlangen sie.
In den drei Kategorien ÂŦBekenntnis gegen ÃberwachungÂŧ, ÂŦSchutz und Sicherheit fÞr alleÂŧ sowie ÂŦDemokratie im digitalen RaumÂŧ stellen die Unterzeichner, zu denen auch Amnesty International und Das NETTZ gehÃķren, unter anderem die folgenden ÂŦMindestanforderungenÂŧ:
- Verbot biometrischer MassenÞberwachung des Ãķffentlichen Raums sowie der ungezielten biometrischen Auswertung des Internets.
- Anlasslose und massenhafte Vorratsdatenspeicherung wird abgelehnt.
- Automatisierte Datenanalysen der InformationsbestÃĪnde der StrafverfolgungsbehÃķrden sowie jede Form von Predictive Policing oder automatisiertes Profiling von Menschen werden abgelehnt.
- EinfÞhrung eines Rechts auf VerschlÞsselung. Die Bundesregierung soll sich dafÞr einsetzen, die Chatkontrolle auf europÃĪischer Ebene zu verhindern.
- Anonyme und pseudonyme Nutzung des Internets soll geschÞtzt und ermÃķglicht werden.
- BekÃĪmpfung ÂŦprivaten Machtmissbrauchs von Big-Tech-UnternehmenÂŧ durch durchsetzungsstarke, unabhÃĪngige und grundsÃĪtzlich fÃķderale Aufsichtsstrukturen.
- EinfÞhrung eines digitalen Gewaltschutzgesetzes, unter BerÞcksichtigung ÂŦgruppenbezogener digitaler GewaltÂŧ und die FÃķrderung von Beratungsangeboten.
- Ein umfassendes FÃķrderprogramm fÞr digitale Ãķffentliche RÃĪume, die dezentral organisiert und quelloffen programmiert sind, soll aufgelegt werden.
Es sei ein Irrglaube, dass zunehmende Ãberwachung einen Zugewinn an Sicherheit darstelle, ist eines der Argumente der Initiatoren. Sicherheit erfordere auch, dass Menschen anonym und vertraulich kommunizieren kÃķnnen und ihre PrivatsphÃĪre geschÞtzt wird.
Gesunde digitale RÃĪume lebten auch von einem demokratischen Diskurs, lesen wir in dem Papier. Es sei Aufgabe des Staates, Grundrechte zu schÞtzen. Dazu gehÃķre auch, Menschenrechte und demokratische Werte, insbesondere Freiheit, Gleichheit und SolidaritÃĪt zu fÃķrdern sowie den Missbrauch von MaÃnahmen, Befugnissen und Infrastrukturen durch ÂŦdie Feinde der DemokratieÂŧ zu verhindern.
Man ist geneigt zu fragen, wo denn die Autoren ÂŦden FaschismusÂŧ sehen, den es zu bekÃĪmpfen gelte. Die meisten der vorgetragenen Forderungen und Argumente finden sicher breite UnterstÞtzung, denn sie beschreiben offenkundig gÃĪngige, kritikwÞrdige Praxis. Die Aushebelung der PrivatsphÃĪre, der Redefreiheit und anderer Grundrechte im Namen der Sicherheit wird bereits jetzt massiv durch die aktuellen ÂŦdemokratischen InstitutionenÂŧ und ihre ÂŦdurchsetzungsstarken AufsichtsstrukturenÂŧ betrieben.
Ist ÂŦder FaschismusÂŧ also die EU und ihre Mitgliedsstaaten? Nein, die ÂŦfaschistische GefahrÂŧ, gegen die man eine digitale Brandmauer will, kommt nach Ansicht des CCC und seiner Partner aus den Vereinigten Staaten. Private Ãberwachung und Machtkonzentration sind dabei weltweit schon lange RealitÃĪt, jetzt endlich mÞssen sie jedoch bekÃĪmpft werden. In dem Papier heiÃt es:
ÂŦDie willkÞrliche und antidemokratische MachtausÞbung der Tech-Oligarchen um PrÃĪsident Trump erfordert einen Paradigmenwechsel in der deutschen Digitalpolitik. (...) Die aktuellen Geschehnisse in den USA zeigen auf, wie Datensammlungen und -analyse genutzt werden kÃķnnen, um einen Staat handstreichartig zu Þbernehmen, seine Strukturen nachhaltig zu beschÃĪdigen, Widerstand zu unterbinden und marginalisierte Gruppen zu verfolgen.Âŧ
Wer auf der anderen Seite dieser Brandmauer stehen soll, ist also klar. Es sind die gleichen ÂŦFeinde unserer DemokratieÂŧ, die seit Jahren in diese Ecke gedrÃĪngt werden. Es sind die gleichen Andersdenkenden, Regierungskritiker und Friedensforderer, die unter dem groÃzÞgigen Dach des Bundesprogramms ÂŦDemokratie lebenÂŧ einem ÂŦkontinuierlichen Echt- und LangzeitmonitoringÂŧ wegen der Etikettierung ÂŦdigitaler HassÂŧ unterzogen werden.
Dass die 24 Organisationen praktisch auch die BekÃĪmpfung von Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon und anderen fordern, entbehrt nicht der Komik. Diese fallen aber sicher unter das Stichwort ÂŦMachtmissbrauch von Big-Tech-UnternehmenÂŧ. Gleichzeitig verlangen die Lobbyisten implizit zum Beispiel die FÃķrderung des Nostr-Netzwerks, denn hier finden wir dezentral organisierte und quelloffen programmierte digitale RÃĪume par excellence, obendrein zensurresistent. Das wiederum dÞrfte in der Politik weniger gut ankommen.

2025-05-08 15:05:45Good 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, letâs 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 âillegal market activityâ â 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. Itâs 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 isnât the only safe haven. With 74% of Indonesiaâs 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)
Kenyaâs 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 Generalâs Office Preparing Arrest Warrants for Independent Journalists
El Faro, one of El Salvadorâs most prominent investigative news outlets, shared reliable information that the Salvadoran Attorney Generalâs 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 âapology for crimesâ and âillicit association.â The alleged charges allegedly stem from El Faroâs latest reporting: a three-part video interview with former leaders of the 18th Street Revolucionarios gang that sheds light on Bukeleâs âyears-long relationshipâ with Salvadoran gangs. El Faro editor-in-chief Ãscar MartÃnez said that any arrests or home raids following this news would be âfor having done journalism.â With El Salvadorâs shrinking civic space, this potential action against independent media would further restrict Salvadoransâ 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 usersâ 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 protocolâs 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 âfollow packsâ â 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 Areaâs 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, HRFâs chief strategy officer, discusses the complexities of Bitcoinâs 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 60â70% of the hashrate (the computing power dedicated to the Bitcoin network). This marks a rise in mining pool centralization in recent years. While this hasnât harmed Bitcoinâs censorship resistance yet, it reduces the number of block template producers. This concentration of template producers poses a potential risk to Bitcoinâs 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.

2025-05-08 15:00:17This 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 obsessedâit'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 exampleâby 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 approachâI 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!

2025-03-04 09:40:50Die ÂŦElitenÂŧ fÞhren bereits groà angelegte Pilotprojekte fÞr eine Zukunft durch, die sie wollen und wir nicht. Das schreibt der OffGuardian in einem Update zum Thema ÂŦEU-Brieftasche fÞr die digitale IdentitÃĪtÂŧ. Das Portal weist darauf hin, dass die Akteure dabei nicht gerade zimperlich vorgehen und auch keinen Hehl aus ihren Absichten machen. Transition News hat mehrfach darÞber berichtet, zuletzt hier und hier.
Mit der EU Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI-Brieftasche) sei eine einzige von der Regierung herausgegebene App geplant, die Ihre medizinischen Daten, BeschÃĪftigungsdaten, Reisedaten, Bildungsdaten, Impfdaten, Steuerdaten, Finanzdaten sowie (potenziell) Kopien Ihrer Unterschrift, FingerabdrÞcke, Gesichtsscans, Stimmproben und DNA enthÃĪlt. So fasst der OffGuardian die eindrucksvolle Liste mÃķglicher Einsatzbereiche zusammen.
Auch Dokumente wie der Personalausweis oder der FÞhrerschein kÃķnnen dort in elektronischer Form gespeichert werden. Bis 2026 sind alle EU-Mitgliedstaaten dazu verpflichtet, Ihren BÞrgern funktionierende und frei verfÞgbare digitale ÂŦBrieftaschenÂŧ bereitzustellen.
Die Menschen wÞrden diese App nutzen, so das Portal, um Zahlungen vorzunehmen, Kredite zu beantragen, ihre Steuern zu zahlen, ihre Rezepte abzuholen, internationale Grenzen zu Þberschreiten, Unternehmen zu grÞnden, Arzttermine zu buchen, sich um Stellen zu bewerben und sogar digitale VertrÃĪge online zu unterzeichnen.
All diese Daten wÞrden auf ihrem Mobiltelefon gespeichert und mit den Regierungen von neunzehn LÃĪndern (plus der Ukraine) sowie Þber 140 anderen Ãķffentlichen und privaten Partnern ausgetauscht. Von der Deutschen Bank Þber das ukrainische Ministerium fÞr digitalen Fortschritt bis hin zu Samsung Europe. Unternehmen und BehÃķrden wÞrden auf diese Daten im Backend zugreifen, um ÂŦautomatisierte HintergrundprÞfungenÂŧ durchzufÞhren.
Der Bundesverband der Verbraucherzentralen und VerbraucherverbÃĪnde (VZBV) habe Bedenken geÃĪuÃert, dass eine solche App ÂŦRisiken fÞr den Schutz der PrivatsphÃĪre und der DatenÂŧ berge, berichtet das Portal. Die einzige Antwort darauf laute: ÂŦRichtig, genau dafÞr ist sie ja da!Âŧ
Das alles sei keine Hypothese, betont der OffGuardian. Es sei vielmehr ÂŦPotentialÂŧ. Damit ist ein EU-Projekt gemeint, in dessen Rahmen Dutzende Ãķffentliche und private Einrichtungen zusammenarbeiten, ÂŦum eine einheitliche Vision der digitalen IdentitÃĪt fÞr die BÞrger der europÃĪischen LÃĪnder zu definierenÂŧ. Dies ist nur eines der groà angelegten Pilotprojekte, mit denen Prototypen und AnwendungsfÃĪlle fÞr die EUDI-Wallet getestet werden. Es gibt noch mindestens drei weitere.
Den Ball der digitalen ID-Systeme habe die Covid-ÂŦPandemieÂŧ Þber die ÂŦImpfpÃĪsseÂŧ ins Rollen gebracht. Seitdem habe das Thema an Schwung verloren. Je nÃĪher wir aber der vollstÃĪndigen EinfÞhrung der EUid kÃĪmen, desto mehr Propaganda der Art ÂŦWarum wir eine digitale Brieftasche brauchenÂŧ kÃķnnten wir in den Mainstream-Medien erwarten, prognostiziert der OffGuardian. Vielleicht mÞssten wir schon nach dem nÃĪchsten groÃen ÂŦGrundÂŧ, dem nÃĪchsten ÂŦkatastrophalen katalytischen EreignisÂŧ Ausschau halten. Vermutlich gebe es bereits PlÃĪne, warum die Menschen plÃķtzlich eine digitale ID-Brieftasche brauchen wÞrden.
Die Entwicklung geht jedenfalls stetig weiter in genau diese Richtung. Beispielsweise hat Jordanien angekÞndigt, die digitale biometrische ID bei den nÃĪchsten Wahlen zur Verifizierung der WÃĪhler einzufÞhren. Man wolle ÂŦden Papierkrieg beenden und sicherstellen, dass die gesamte Kette bis zu den nÃĪchsten Parlamentswahlen digitalisiert wirdÂŧ, heiÃt es. Absehbar ist, dass dabei einige Wahlberechtigte ÂŦauf der Strecke bleibenÂŧ werden, wie im Fall von Albanien geschehen.
Derweil wÞrden die Briten gerne ihre PrivatsphÃĪre gegen Effizienz eintauschen, behauptet Tony Blair. Der Ex-Premier drÃĪngte kÞrzlich erneut auf digitale IdentitÃĪten und Gesichtserkennung. Blair ist GrÞnder einer Denkfabrik fÞr globalen Wandel, AnhÃĪnger globalistischer Technokratie und ÂŦmoderner InfrastrukturÂŧ.
AbschlieÃend warnt der OffGuardian vor der Illusion, Trump und Musk wÞrden den US-BÞrgern ÂŦdiesen Schlamassel ersparenÂŧ. Das Department of Government Efficiency werde sich auf die digitale IdentitÃĪt stÞrzen. Was kÃķnne schlieÃlich ÂŦeffizienterÂŧ sein als eine einzige App, die fÞr alles verwendet wird? Der Unterschied bestehe nur darin, dass die US-Version vielleicht eher privat als Ãķffentlich sei â sofern es da Þberhaupt noch einen wirklichen Unterschied gebe.

2025-05-08 14:55:34There 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.

2025-05-09 19:50:20Wer sein eigenes Geld abheben mÃķchte, macht sich heute â in Spanien - verdÃĪchtig. Wer dort eine grÃķÃere Geldmenge des eigenen VermÃķgens abzuheben gedenkt, muss das von nun an Tage zuvor anmelden. Diese neue Regelung lÃĪsst sich auch nicht dadurch umgehen, dass man mehrere kleine EinzelbeitrÃĪge abhebt. Und die, die die neue Regelung missachten, werden empfindlich bestraft. So gerÃĪt jeder, der zu hÃĪufig Bares abhebt, in das Visier der BehÃķrden.

Was sich in Spanien an Bankautomaten und -schaltern eingeschlichen hat, kÃķnnte sich seinen Weg auch nach Deutschland bahnen. In Frankreich, so zeigt die persÃķnliche Erfahrung, variiert die zu erzielende Geldmenge am Automaten unter noch ungeklÃĪrten Bedingungen von Tag zu Tag, von Konto zu Konto. Der Automat gibt vor, ob gerade beispielsweise 60, 200 oder 400 Euro abgehoben werden dÞrfen.

2025-03-01 10:39:35StÃĪndige LÞgen und Unterstellungen, permanent falsche FÞrsorge \ kÃķnnen Bausteine von emotionaler Manipulation sein. Mit dem Zweck, \ Macht und Kontrolle Þber eine andere Person auszuÞben. \ Apotheken Umschau
Irgendetwas muss passiert sein: ÂŦGaslightingÂŧ ist gerade Thema in vielen Medien. Heute bin ich nach lÃĪngerer Zeit mal wieder Þber dieses Stichwort gestolpert. Das war in einem Artikel von Norbert HÃĪring Þber Manipulationen des Deutschen Wetterdienstes (DWD). In diesem Fall ging es um eine Pressemitteilung vom Donnerstag zum ÂŦviel zu warmenÂŧ Winter 2024/25.
HÃĪring wirft der BehÃķrde vor, dreist zu lÞgen und Dinge auszulassen, um die Klimaangst wach zu halten. Was der Leser beim DWD nicht erfahre, sei, dass dieser Winter kÃĪlter als die drei vorangegangenen und kÃĪlter als der Durchschnitt der letzten zehn Jahre gewesen sei. Stattdessen werde der falsche Eindruck vermittelt, es wÞrde ungebremst immer wÃĪrmer.
Wem also der zu Ende gehende Winter eher kalt vorgekommen sein sollte, mit dessen Empfinden stimme wohl etwas nicht. Das jedenfalls wolle der DWD uns einreden, so der Wirtschaftsjournalist. Und damit sind wir beim Thema Gaslighting.
Als Gaslighting wird eine Form psychischer Manipulation bezeichnet, mit der die Opfer desorientiert und zutiefst verunsichert werden, indem ihre eigene Wahrnehmung als falsch bezeichnet wird. Der Prozess fÞhrt zu Angst und RealitÃĪtsverzerrung sowie zur ZerstÃķrung des Selbstbewusstseins. Die Bezeichnung kommt von dem britischen TheaterstÞck ÂŦGas LightÂŧ aus dem Jahr 1938, in dem ein Mann mit grausamen Psychotricks seine Frau in den Wahnsinn treibt.
Damit Gaslighting funktioniert, muss das Opfer dem TÃĪter vertrauen. Oft wird solcher Psychoterror daher im privaten oder familiÃĪren Umfeld beschrieben, ebenso wie am Arbeitsplatz. Jedoch eignen sich die Prinzipien auch perfekt zur Manipulation der Massen. Vermeintliche AutoritÃĪten wie Ãrzte und Wissenschaftler, oder ÂŦder fÞrsorgliche StaatÂŧ und Institutionen wie die UNO oder die WHO wollen uns doch nichts BÃķses. Auch Staatsmedien, Faktenchecker und diverse NGOs wurden zu ÂŦvertrauenswÞrdigen QuellenÂŧ erklÃĪrt. Das hat seine Wirkung.
Warum das Thema Gaslighting derzeit scheinbar so populÃĪr ist, vermag ich nicht zu sagen. Es sind aber gerade in den letzten Tagen und Wochen auffÃĪllig viele Artikel dazu erschienen, und zwar nicht nur von Psychologen. Die Frankfurter Rundschau hat gleich mehrere publiziert, und AnwÃĪlte interessieren sich dafÞr offenbar genauso wie Apotheker.
Die Apotheken Umschau machte sogar auf ÂŦMedical GaslightingÂŧ aufmerksam. Davon spreche man, wenn Mediziner Symptome nicht ernst nÃĪhmen oder wenn ein gesundheitliches Problem vom behandelnden Arzt ÂŦschnÃķde heruntergespieltÂŧ oder abgetan wÞrde. Kommt Ihnen das auch irgendwie bekannt vor? Der Begriff sei allerdings irrefÞhrend, da er eine manipulierende Absicht unterstellt, die ÂŦnicht gewÃĪhrleistetÂŧ sei.
Apropos Gaslighting: Die noch amtierende deutsche Bundesregierung meldete heute, es gelte, ÂŦweiter [sic!] gemeinsam daran zu arbeiten, einen gerechten und dauerhaften Frieden fÞr die Ukraine zu erreichenÂŧ. Die Ukraine, wo sich am Montag ÂŦder vÃķlkerrechtswidrige Angriffskrieg zum dritten Mal jÃĪhrteÂŧ, verteidige ihr Land und ÂŦunsere gemeinsamen WerteÂŧ.
Merken Sie etwas? Das DemokratieverstÃĪndnis mag ja tatsÃĪchlich inzwischen in beiden LÃĪndern ÃĪhnlich traurig sein. BezÞglich FriedensbemÞhungen ist meine Wahrnehmung jedoch eine andere. Das muss an meinem GedÃĪchtnis liegen.

2025-05-08 14:35:02Money 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, âIt is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.â 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: âChancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.â 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 âDonât trust, verifyâ or âStay humble, stack satsâ 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 Bitcoinâs 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.
Itâs 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.

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.

2025-02-21 19:32:23Europa â das Ganze ist eine wunderbare Idee, \ aber das war der Kommunismus auch. \ Loriot
ÂŦEuropa hat fertigÂŧ, kÃķnnte man unken, und das wÃĪre nicht einmal sehr verwegen. Mit solch einer EinschÃĪtzung stÞnden wir nicht alleine, denn die Stimmen in diese Richtung mehren sich. Der franzÃķsische PrÃĪsident Emmanuel Macron warnte schon letztes Jahr davor, dass ÂŦunser Europa sterben kÃķnnteÂŧ. Vermutlich hatte er dabei andere Gefahren im Kopf als jetzt der ungarische MinisterprÃĪsident Viktor OrbÃĄn, der ein ÂŦbaldiges Ende der EUÂŧ prognostizierte. Das Ergebnis kÃķnnte allerdings das gleiche sein.
Neben vordergrÞndigen Themenbereichen wie Wirtschaft, Energie und Sicherheit ist das eigentliche Problem jedoch die obskure Mischung aus aufgegebener SouverÃĪnitÃĪt und geschwollener Arroganz, mit der europÃĪische Politiker:innende unterschiedlicher Couleur aufzutreten pflegen. Und das TÞpfelchen auf dem i ist die brÃķckelnde Legitimation politischer Institutionen dadurch, dass die Stimmen groÃer Teile der BevÃķlkerung seit Jahren auf vielfÃĪltige Weise ausgegrenzt werden.
Um ÂŦUnsereDemokratieÂŧ steht es schlecht. Dass seine Mandate immer schwÃĪcher werden, merkt natÞrlich auch unser ÂŦFÞhrungspersonalÂŧ. Entsprechend werden die MaÃnahmen zur GÃĪngelung, Ãberwachung und Manipulation der BÞrger stÃĪndig verzweifelter. Parallel dazu plustern sich in Paris Macron, Scholz und einige andere noch einmal mÃĪchtig in Sachen Verteidigung und ÂŦKriegstÞchtigkeitÂŧ auf.
Momentan gilt es auch, das Ãberschwappen covidiotischer und verschwÃķrungsideologischer AuswÞchse aus den USA nach Europa zu vermeiden. So ein ÂŦMEGAÂŧ (Make Europe Great Again) kÃķnnen wir hier nicht gebrauchen. Aus den Vereinigten Staaten kommen nÃĪmlich furchtbare Nachrichten. Beispielsweise wurde einer der schÃĪrfsten Kritiker der Corona-MaÃnahmen kÞrzlich zum Gesundheitsminister ernannt. Dieser setzt sich jetzt fÞr eine Neubewertung der mRNA-ÂŦImpfstoffeÂŧ ein, was durchaus zu einem Entzug der Zulassungen fÞhren kÃķnnte.
Der europÃĪischen Version von ÂŦVerteidigung der DemokratieÂŧ setzte der US-VizeprÃĪsident J. D. Vance auf der MÞnchner Sicherheitskonferenz sein VerstÃĪndnis entgegen: ÂŦDemokratie stÃĪrken, indem wir unseren BÞrgern erlauben, ihre Meinung zu sagenÂŧ. Das Abschalten von Medien, das Annullieren von Wahlen oder das AusschlieÃen von Menschen vom politischen Prozess schÞtze gar nichts. Vielmehr sei dies der todsichere Weg, die Demokratie zu zerstÃķren.
In der Schweiz kamen seine Worte deutlich besser an als in den meisten europÃĪischen NATO-LÃĪndern. BundesprÃĪsidentin Karin Keller-Sutter lobte die Rede und interpretierte sie als ÂŦPlÃĪdoyer fÞr die direkte DemokratieÂŧ. MÃķglicherweise zeichne sich hier eine auÃenpolitische Kehrtwende in Richtung integraler NeutralitÃĪt ab, meint mein Kollege Daniel Funk. Das wÃĪren doch endlich mal ein paar gute Nachrichten.
Von der einstigen Idee einer europÃĪischen Union mit engeren Beziehungen zwischen den Staaten, um Konflikte zu vermeiden und das Wohlergehen der BÞrger zu verbessern, sind wir meilenweit abgekommen. Der heutige korrupte Verbund unter technokratischer Leitung ÃĪhnelt mehr einem Selbstbedienungsladen mit sehr begrenztem Zugang. Die EU-Wahlen im letzten Sommer haben daran ebenso wenig geÃĪndert, wie die Bundestagswahl am kommenden Sonntag darauf einen Einfluss haben wird.

2025-02-19 09:23:17Die ÂŦmoralische WeltordnungÂŧ â eine Art Astrologie. Friedrich Nietzsche
Das Treffen der BRICS-Staaten beim Gipfel im russischen Kasan war sicher nicht irgendein politisches Event. Gastgeber Wladimir Putin habe ÂŦHof gehaltenÂŧ, sagen die Einen, China und Russland hÃĪtten ihre Vorstellung einer multipolaren Weltordnung zelebriert, schreiben Andere.
In jedem Fall zeigt die Anwesenheit von Þber 30 Delegationen aus der ganzen Welt, dass von einer geostrategischen Isolation Russlands wohl keine Rede sein kann. DarÞber hinaus haben sowohl die Anreise von UN-GeneralsekretÃĪr AntÃģnio Guterres als auch die Meldungen und Dementis bezÞglich der BeitrittsbemÞhungen des NATO-Staats TÞrkei fÞr etwas Aufsehen gesorgt.
Im Spannungsfeld geopolitischer und wirtschaftlicher UmbrÞche zeigt die neue Allianz zunehmendes Selbstbewusstsein. In Sachen gemeinsamer Finanzpolitik schmiedet man interessante PlÃĪne. GrÃķÃere UnabhÃĪngigkeit von der US-dominierten Finanzordnung ist dabei ein wichtiges Ziel.
Beim BRICS-Wirtschaftsforum in Moskau, wenige Tage vor dem Gipfel, zÃĪhlte ein nachhaltiges System fÞr Finanzabrechnungen und Zahlungsdienste zu den vorrangigen Themen. WÃĪhrend dieses Treffens ging der russische Staatsfonds eine Partnerschaft mit dem Rechenzentrumsbetreiber BitRiver ein, um Bitcoin-Mining-Anlagen fÞr die BRICS-LÃĪnder zu errichten.
Die Initiative kÃķnnte ein Schritt sein, Bitcoin und andere KryptowÃĪhrungen als Alternativen zu traditionellen Finanzsystemen zu etablieren. Das Projekt kÃķnnte dazu fÞhren, dass die BRICS-Staaten den globalen Handel in Bitcoin abwickeln. Vor dem Hintergrund der Diskussionen Þber eine ÂŦBRICS-WÃĪhrungÂŧ wÃĪre dies eine Alternative zu dem ursprÞnglich angedachten Korb lokaler WÃĪhrungen und zu goldgedeckten WÃĪhrungen sowie eine mÃķgliche ErgÃĪnzung zum Zahlungssystem BRICS Pay.
Dient der Bitcoin also der Entdollarisierung? Oder droht er inzwischen, zum Gegenstand geopolitischer Machtspielchen zu werden? Angesichts der globalen Vernetzungen ist es oft schwer zu durchschauen, ÂŦwas eine Show ist und was im Hintergrund von anderen Strippenziehern insgeheim gesteuert wirdÂŧ. Sicher kÃķnnen Strukturen wie Bitcoin auch so genutzt werden, dass sie den Herrschenden dienlich sind. Aber die Grundeigenschaft des dezentralisierten, unzensierbaren Peer-to-Peer Zahlungsnetzwerks ist ihm schlieÃlich nicht zu nehmen.
Wenn es nach der EZB oder dem IWF geht, dann scheint statt Instrumentalisierung momentan eher der Kampf gegen KryptowÃĪhrungen angesagt. JÞrgen Schaaf, Senior Manager bei der EuropÃĪischen Zentralbank, hat jedenfalls dazu aufgerufen, Bitcoin ÂŦzu eliminierenÂŧ. Der Internationale WÃĪhrungsfonds forderte El Salvador, das Bitcoin 2021 als gesetzliches Zahlungsmittel eingefÞhrt hat, kÞrzlich zu begrenzenden MaÃnahmen gegen das Kryptogeld auf.
Dass die BRICS-Staaten ein freiheitliches Ansinnen im Kopf haben, wenn sie KryptowÃĪhrungen ins Spiel bringen, darf indes auch bezweifelt werden. Im Abschlussdokument bekennen sich die Gipfel-Teilnehmer ausdrÞcklich zur UN, ihren Programmen und ihrer ÂŦAgenda 2030Âŧ. Ernst Wolff nennt das ÂŦeine BankrotterklÃĪrung korrupter Politiker, die sich dem digital-finanziellen Komplex zu 100 Prozent unterwerfenÂŧ.

2025-02-15 19:05:38Auf der diesjÃĪhrigen MÞnchner Sicherheitskonferenz geht es vor allem um die Ukraine. Protagonisten sind dabei zunÃĪchst die US-Amerikaner. PrÃĪsident Trump schockierte die EuropÃĪer kurz vorher durch ein Telefonat mit seinem Amtskollegen Wladimir Putin, wÃĪhrend VizeprÃĪsident Vance mit seiner Rede Þber Demokratie und Meinungsfreiheit fÞr versteinerte Mienen und EmpÃķrung sorgte.
Die BemÞhungen der EuropÃĪer um einen Frieden in der Ukraine halten sich, gelinde gesagt, in Grenzen. GrÃķÃeres Augenmerk wird auf militÃĪrische UnterstÞtzung, die Pflege von Feindbildern sowie Eskalation gelegt. Der deutsche Bundeskanzler Scholz reagierte auf die angekÞndigten Verhandlungen Þber einen mÃķglichen Frieden fÞr die Ukraine mit der Forderung nach noch hÃķheren ÂŦVerteidigungsausgabenÂŧ. Auch die amtierende AuÃenministerin Baerbock hatte vor der MÞnchner Konferenz klargestellt:
ÂŦFrieden wird es nur durch StÃĪrke geben. (...) Bei Corona haben wir gesehen, zu was Europa fÃĪhig ist. Es braucht erneut Investitionen, die der historischen Wegmarke, vor der wir stehen, angemessen sind.Âŧ
Die RÞstungsindustrie freut sich in jedem Fall Þber weltweit steigende MilitÃĪrausgaben. Die Kriege in der Ukraine und in Gaza tragen zu Rekordeinnahmen bei. Jetzt ÂŦwinkt die Aussicht auf eine jahrelange groÃe NachrÞstung in EuropaÂŧ, auch wenn der Ukraine-Krieg enden sollte, so hÃķrt man aus Finanzkreisen. In der Konsequenz kennt ÂŦdie Aktie des deutschen Vorzeige-RÞstungskonzerns Rheinmetall in ihrem Anstieg offenbar gar keine Grenzen mehrÂŧ. ÂŦSolche FriedensversprechenÂŧ wie das jetzige hÃĪtten in der Vergangenheit zu starken Kursverlusten gefÞhrt.
FÞr manche Leute sind Kriegswaffen und sonstige RÞstungsgÞter Waren wie alle anderen, jedenfalls aus der Perspektive von Investoren oder Managern. Auch in diesem Bereich gibt es Startups und man spricht von Dingen wie innovativen Herangehensweisen, hocheffizienten Produktionsanlagen, skalierbaren Produktionstechniken und geringeren StÞckkosten.
Wir lesen aktuell von Massenproduktion und gesteigerten FertigungskapazitÃĪten fÞr KriegsgerÃĪt. Der Motor solcher Dynamik und solchen Wachstums ist die AufrÞstung, die inzwischen permanent gefordert wird. Parallel wird die BevÃķlkerung verbal eingestimmt und auf KriegstÞchtigkeit getrimmt.
Das RÞstungs- und KI-Startup Helsing verkÞndete kÞrzlich eine ÂŦdezentrale Massenproduktion fÞr den UkrainekriegÂŧ. Mit dieser Expansion positioniere sich das MÞnchner Unternehmen als einer der weltweit fÞhrenden Hersteller von Kampfdrohnen. Der nÃĪchste ÂŦMeilensteinÂŧ steht auch bereits an: Man will eine Satellitenflotte im Weltraum aufbauen, zur Ãberwachung von Gefechtsfeldern und Truppenbewegungen.
Ebenfalls aus MÞnchen stammt das als DefenseTech-Startup bezeichnete Unternehmen ARX Robotics. KÞrzlich habe man in der Region die grÃķÃte europÃĪische ProduktionsstÃĪtte fÞr autonome Verteidigungssysteme erÃķffnet. Damit fahre man die Produktion von MilitÃĪr-Robotern hoch. Diese Expansion diene auch der Lieferung der ÂŦgrÃķÃten Flotte unbemannter Bodensysteme westlicher BauartÂŧ in die Ukraine.
RÞstung boomt und scheint ein Zukunftsmarkt zu sein. Die Hersteller und Vermarkter betonen, mit ihren AktivitÃĪten und Produkten solle die europÃĪische VerteidigungsfÃĪhigkeit erhÃķht werden. Ihre Strategien sollten sogar ÂŦzum Schutz demokratischer Strukturen beitragenÂŧ.
