2025-06-05 10:00:43Starting January 1, 2026, the United Kingdom will impose some of the world’s most stringent reporting requirements on cryptocurrency firms.
All platforms operating in or serving UK customers-domestic and foreign alike-must collect and disclose extensive personal and transactional data for every user, including individuals, companies, trusts, and charities.
This regulatory drive marks the UK’s formal adoption of the OECD’s Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), a global initiative designed to bring crypto oversight in line with traditional banking and to curb tax evasion in the rapidly expanding digital asset sector.
What Will Be Reported?
Crypto firms must gather and submit the following for each transaction:
- User’s full legal name, home address, and taxpayer identification number
- Detailed data on every trade or transfer: type of cryptocurrency, amount, and nature of the transaction
- Identifying information for corporate, trust, and charitable clients
The obligation extends to all digital asset activities, including crypto-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat trades, and applies to both UK residents and non-residents using UK-based platforms. The first annual reports covering 2026 activity are due by May 31, 2027.
Enforcement and Penalties
Non-compliance will carry stiff financial penalties, with fines of up to £300 per user account for inaccurate or missing data-a potentially enormous liability for large exchanges. The UK government has urged crypto firms to begin collecting this information immediately to ensure operational readiness.
Regulatory Context and Market Impact
This move is part of a broader UK strategy to position itself as a global fintech hub while clamping down on fraud and illicit finance. UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves has championed these measures, stating, “Britain is open for business – but closed to fraud, abuse, and instability”. The regulatory expansion comes amid a surge in crypto adoption: the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority reported that 12% of UK adults owned crypto in 2024, up from just 4% in 2021.
Enormous Risks for Consumers: Lessons from the Coinbase Data Breach
While the new framework aims to enhance transparency and protect consumers, it also dramatically increases the volume of sensitive personal data held by crypto firms-raising the stakes for cybersecurity.
The risks are underscored by the recent high-profile breach at Coinbase, one of the world’s largest exchanges.
In May 2025, Coinbase disclosed that cybercriminals, aided by bribed offshore contractors, accessed and exfiltrated customer data including names, addresses, government IDs, and partial bank details.
The attackers then used this information for sophisticated phishing campaigns, successfully deceiving some customers into surrendering account credentials and funds.
“While private encryption keys remained secure, sufficient customer information was exposed to enable sophisticated phishing attacks by criminals posing as Coinbase personnel.”
Coinbase now faces up to $400 million in compensation costs and has pledged to reimburse affected users, but the incident highlights the systemic vulnerability created when large troves of personal data are centralized-even if passwords and private keys are not directly compromised. The breach also triggered a notable drop in Coinbase’s share price and prompted a $20 million bounty for information leading to the attackers’ capture.
The Bottom Line
The UK’s forthcoming crypto reporting regime represents a landmark in financial regulation, promising greater transparency and tax compliance. However, as the Coinbase episode demonstrates, the aggregation of sensitive user data at scale poses a significant cybersecurity risk.
As regulators push for more oversight, the challenge will be ensuring that consumer protection does not become a double-edged sword-exposing users to new threats even as it seeks to shield them from old ones.

2025-06-05 08:51:39Global Metrics
Here are the top stats from the last period:
- Total Bitcoin-accepting merchants: 15,306 → 16,284
- Recently verified (1y): 7,540 → 7,803 (the rest of our dataset is slowly rotting; help us before it's too late!)
- Avg. days since last verification: 398 → 405 (more mappers, please)
- Merchants boosted: 22 (for a total of 4,325 days, someone is feeling generous)
- Comments posted: 34
Find current stats over at the 👉 BTC Map Dashboard.
Merchant Adoption
Steak n’ Shake
The US 🇺🇸 is a massive country, yet its BTC Map footprint has been lagging relative to other countries ... that is until now!
In what came as a nice surprise to our Shadowy Supertaggers 🫠, the Steak ’n Shake chain began accepting Bitcoin payments across hundreds of its locations nationwide (with some international locations too).
According to CoinDesk, the rollout has been smooth, with users reporting seamless transactions powered by Speed.
This marks a significant step towards broader Bitcoin adoption in the US. Now to drop the capital gains tax on cheesburgers!
SPAR Switzerland
In other chain/franchise adoption news, the first SPAR supermarket in Switzerland 🇨🇭 to begin accepting Bitcoin was this one in Zug. It was quickly followed by this one in Rossrüti and this one in Kreuzlingen, in what is believed to be part of a wider roll-out plan within the country powered by DFX's Open CryptoPay.
That said, we believe the OG SPAR crown goes to SPAR City in Arnhem Bitcoin City!
New Features
Merchant Comments in the Web App
Web App users are now on par with Android users in that they can both see and make comments on merchants.
This is powered by our tweaked API that enables anyone to make a comment as long as they pass the satswall fee of 500 sats. This helps keep spam manageable and ensure quality comments.
And just in case you were wondering what the number count was on the merchant pins - yep, they're comments!
Here is an 👉 Example merchant page with comments.
Merchant Page Design Tweaks
To support the now trio of actions (Verify, Boost & Comment) on the merchant page, we've re-jigged the design a little to make things a little clearer.
What do you think?
Technical
Codebase Refactoring
Thanks to Hannes’s contributions, we’ve made progress in cleaning-up the Web App's codebase and completing long overdue maintenance. Whilst often thankless tasks, these caretaking activities help immensely with long-term maintainability enabling us to confidently build new features.
Auth System Upgrades
The old auth system was held together with duct tape and prayers, and we’re working on a more robust authentication system to support future public API access. Updates include:
- Password hashing
- Bearer token support
- Improved security practices
More enhancements are in progress and we'll update you in the next blog post.
Better API Documentation
Instead of relying on tribal knowledge, we're finally getting around to writing actual docs (with the help/hindrance of LLMs). The "move fast, break everything" era is over; now we move slightly slower and break slightly less. Progress!
Database Improvements
We use SQLite, which works well but it requires careful handling in async Rust environments. So now we're untangling this mess to avoid accidental blocking queries (and the ensuing dumpster fires).
Backup System Enhancements
BTC Map data comes in three layers of fragility:
- Merchants (backed up by OS - the big boys handle this)
- Non-OSM stuff (areas, users, etc. - currently stored on a napkin)
- External systems (Lightning node, submission tickets - pray to Satoshi)
We're now forcing two core members to backup everything, because redundancy is good.

2025-06-05 08:46:54Être « de gauche » ?
Essai pour une (re)définition transversale des concepts « gauche » et « droite »
Introduction
Il y a toujours deux niveaux. Le premier est celui sur lequel on s’appuie quand on se dit « de gauche » : c’est le niveau du discours, des bonnes intentions, des objectifs ou des revendications bien rationnelles, des belles valeurs, des symboles, des vérités chéries, etc. Puis il y a l’autre niveau, moins conscient, voire inconscient, qui fait que l’on va finir par réagir d’une certaine manière, parfois, souvent, en contradiction avec le premier niveau. Ce n’est pas, par exemple, parce qu’on n’aime pas la jalousie ou le pouvoir qu’on ne va pas se sentir jalouses ou qu’on ne va pas, parfois, prendre du plaisir dans certaines dynamiques de pouvoir. Combien de fois nous sommes-nous retrouvées frustrées de voir à quel point la réalité de nos actions se déroule en totale contradiction avec nos intentions ? Et ce, dans tous les domaines de la vie : intime, amoureuse, amicale, professionnelle, militante, etc. C’est-à-dire que nous pouvons être très « de gauche » au niveau des intentions, mais réactionnaires, voire fascistes, au niveau des pratiques. C’est donc ce deuxième niveau, dominé non pas par la raison, les concepts, les manifestes ou les bonnes intentions, mais par le monde inconscient, ses flux et ses mécanismes, auquel nous allons nous intéresser, car c’est bien là que la question se joue. Nous proposons donc un ensemble de prismes (Δ), sans aucune prétention totalisante, pour contribuer à une (ré)définition collective des concepts de gauche et de droite.
1er prisme Δ
Sensibilités et compétences
S e n s i b i l i t é :
propriété / aptitude d’une matière, d’un organe, d’un corps à réagir aux stimuli externes ou internes.
Le mot sensibilité vient de sens. Les sens captent. On peut réagir seulement aux stimuli/informations que l’on capte – inutile de forcer un aveugle à voir, un sourd à entendre. Les yeux captent la lumière, les tympans captent des ondes/vibrations. Or, il ne suffit pas d’avoir de bons yeux et de bonnes oreilles pour capter, par exemple, l’injustice dans notre entourage. Il nous faut quelque chose de plus. Quelque chose d’autre que nos sens physiologiques est à l’œuvre dans nos esprits lorsqu’on capte une injustice. Comme s’il y avait un autre type de sens. Si les sens physiologiques captent les informations physiques (lumière, vibration, température, distance, etc.), cet autre type de sens capte les informations sociales (quelle est ma place dans la meute, quand est-ce mon tour de manger, quel territoire m’est attribué ? etc.). Si, pour les sens physiologiques, des récepteurs chimiques et des terminaisons nerveuses sont à l’œuvre, pour cet autre type de sens, il s’agit plutôt de programmes, de « logiciels », un peu comme les applications de nos téléphones portables ou de nos ordinateurs. Il y a donc des « logiciels » qui nous permettent de capter les injustices, les violences, les oppressions, les signes de souffrance, de maladie, de dépression, de névrose ou de psychose, etc. Inutile de forcer un aveugle à voir, inutile de forcer quelqu’un qui n’aurait pas les bons logiciels à capter une injustice, une violence, une oppression. Il ne s’agit donc pas de vouloir ou de décider de capter ces situations ou ces phénomènes sociaux, il s’agit d’avoir, de cultiver les « bons logiciels ». Voilà donc ce à quoi nous nous référons quand on parle de sensibilités. Être de gauche donc, selon ce prisme, n’est pas tellement une décision, un vouloir ou une sorte d’identité autoproclamée que l’on pourrait rajouter facilement dans nos CV, afficher sur nos réseaux sociaux ou sur nos applis de rencontre, montrer avec nos t-shirts du Che Guevara, avec nos chants anarchistes ou nos quelques actions, non, non, non. Être de gauche = être sensible. Multi-sensible, pluri-sensible. Mais sensible à quoi ? À une diversité de phénomènes concernant le mental, le social et l’environnemental – et spécialement à leur intrication. Être de gauche implique donc avoir cultivé dans nos esprits une multiplicité de sensibilités : des sensibilités psychologiques, sociologiques, anthropologiques, écologiques… De ce point de vue, être de gauche n’est pas un discours, une mode, une décision, une envie, c’est du travail ! Car cette multiplicité de sensibilités, nous ne la cultivons pas par défaut socialement, culturellement – la société industrielle, capitaliste qui nous a façonnés, n’a surtout pas besoin d’esprits pluri-sensibles. Nous sommes obligés donc, si nous voulons cultiver ces sensibilités, de nager à contre-courant, de lutter contre le cadrage et la parcellisation propres à nos sociétés modernes, consistant à produire de petits soldats, de petits robots, de petites machines spécialisées, chacune dans son champ spécifique, et ce pour servir à qui ? Surtout pas à nous-mêmes, que ce soit individuellement ou collectivement. Nous voyons bien que ce n’est pas une mince affaire d’« être de gauche ». Quelque part, personne n’est de gauche, puisque personne n’est en mesure, prenant en compte la façon dont notre culture produit des sujets, d’avoir tout cet éventail de sensibilités. Pour mieux nuancer la question, nous sommes obligés de laisser de côté les lunettes de l’être, car elles nous contraignent à aborder le sujet de façon binaire : être ou ne pas être, soit tu es de gauche, soit tu ne l’es pas. On voit très bien que nous pouvons être sensibles par rapport à un sujet, à une situation ou à un domaine spécifique et, en même temps, très insensibles par rapport à d’autres sujets, situations ou domaines. Oui, cela veut dire que nous sommes de gauche et aussi, en même temps, de droite (insensibles) selon les endroits que l’on observe en nous, dans diverses situations et contextes. Il ne suffit pas d’« être marxistes » ou d’« être anarchistes » pour ne pas devenir des grands ou des petits tyrans, des grands ou des petits colons, des sexistes, des racistes, des oppresseurs des minorités, des validistes, des violents, des agresseurs, que ce soit au niveau collectif ou sur un niveau plus personnel, plus intime. De droite et de gauche, en même temps ? Quelle idée ! C’est que « être de gauche » est une expression trop rigide. Il convient donc d’analyser la question en termes de devenir : si l’être est un état donné, une pierre, le devenir représente toujours le mouvement, le fleuve et ses tourbillons. Nous serions très prétentieux, très arrogants ou très naïfs, si nous disions que nous sommes de gauche. En revanche, nous pouvons dire sans aucune prétention que nous sommes dans un devenir de gauche, dans la mesure où l’on cultive les sensibilités diverses. Nous avons dit qu’être de gauche veut dire être multi-sensible ; que nous ne pouvons pas vraiment être de gauche, car malgré le fait que l’on soit sensibles à certains sujets ou situations, nous sommes forcément insensibles par rapport à d’autres sujets et à d’autres situations, car victimes de l’industrie et de son culte des œillères ; que nous sommes en même temps de gauche et de droite, selon les endroits que l’on observe en nous dans une situation donnée, dans un contexte donné ; que le prisme du devenir est plus adapté que les lunettes de l’être, et qu’au lieu de dire « je suis de gauche », il est plus précis de dire « je suis dans un devenir ‘de gauche’ ».
Compétences ?
Nous avons, jusqu’à maintenant, abordé la question de la gauche en ce qui concerne les sensibilités, c’est-à-dire la captation des signes ou des informations concernant le mental, le social et l’environnemental. Mais suffit-il d’être sensible, même multi-sensible ? Combien de fois avons-nous capté des injustices, des conflits et toutes sortes de problèmes par rapport auxquels nous n’avons rien pu faire ? Nous pouvons être très sensibles et en même temps nous sentir très impuissants. Il y a donc deux choses qui seraient précieuses pour la gauche selon ce prisme : la captation et l’action, les sensibilités et les pratiques. Pour faire ou pratiquer, il faut pouvoir faire, être capable, compétent. Faire un bon discours, gérer un conflit, établir des relations de façon saine, produire autrement, consommer autrement, gérer la propriété autrement, apprendre à prendre soin et à nous soigner, apprendre à soutenir des personnes, déconstruire nos vieux logiciels, expérimenter et trouver les modes d’organisation les plus adaptés, articuler les différents terrains d’action politique (macro, micro et infra-personnel), devenir souples et ouverts au monde, à l’altérité, etc. Tout cela requiert à la fois des sensibilités et des compétences très concrètes, précisément celles que la société néglige, que notre culture ne cultive pas. Dans la gauche au sens traditionnel, y compris ladite « extrême gauche » ou « gauche radicale », prenons-nous au sérieux cette question ? Sommes-nous en train de cultiver cette multiplicité de sensibilités et de compétences ?
Et la droite, c’est quoi ?
Nous avions jusqu’à maintenant utilisé ce prisme pour définir la gauche comme sensible, comme multi-sensible. Comment faire alors sens de la droite ? Est-ce l’insensibilité qui la définit ? Les personnes plus à droite sont-elles insensibles ? Nous avions défini la sensibilité comme une sorte de logiciel nous permettant de capter et de réagir à un stimulus, à une information, à une situation donnée. L’acte raciste, classiste, sexiste, n’est-il pas nécessairement la conséquence d’un type de sensibilité, selon notre définition ? Sensibilité par rapport à l’« invasion » de la part des étrangers, au « grand remplacement », aux « déviances » sexuelles ou de genre, à l’« hystérie » des femmes, à l’« insolence » des travailleurs, etc. Nous pourrions dire que la droite est aussi sensible, et même multi-sensible ! Ce constat fait-il effondrer notre propos ? Ou est-ce qu’il y aurait des « bonnes » et des « mauvaises » sensibilités ? Les sensibilités, expliquent-elles vraiment le clivage gauche-droite ? Nous considérons qu’au contraire, notre propos tient très bien. Pour nous, la droite s’explique en termes d’insensibilité et aussi en termes de sensibilité. D’abord d’insensibilité, car la droite est insensible à une diversité de phénomènes, à un ensemble d’injustices, de violences et d’oppressions, et en même temps, elle se définit par un ensemble de sensibilités que nous pourrions qualifier d’inadaptées. Il y aurait donc des sensibilités adaptées et des sensibilités inadaptées selon la situation, selon le contexte. Mais adaptées ou inadaptées selon quels critères, selon quelle science ou quelle philosophie ? Qualifier une sensibilité, un logiciel d’inadapté, n’est-il pas trancher de façon complètement arbitraire dans l’amoralité du cosmos ? Ce problème philosophique n’est pas facile à résoudre sans invoquer une justice divine, un évangile religieux ou un évangile militant. Or, il y a une chose, pour nous la seule, qui tranche la question malgré nous, en dépit de nous, au-delà de nous, en deçà de nous, autour de nous, à travers nous. C’est la vie elle-même, ou plus précisément l’écologie. Tout système « vivant », y compris les rapports sociaux, obéit à des « principes » écologiques : si on ne boit pas assez d’eau, on finit par mourir ; si nous refoulons des émotions, des pulsions vitales, nous serons condamnés à être névrosés, malades ; si nous colonisons un peuple et si, lorsque ce peuple se défend, nous le réprimons violemment, une partie de ce peuple cherchera à se défendre d’une façon plus violente, et si notre réponse à une telle « radicalisation » est de fusiller ou de bombarder les « radicaux », les « terroristes », alors au lieu de diminuer la « menace terroriste » qui nous fait peur, nous sommes en train de la nourrir, le paradoxe étant que c’est nous, avec le premier acte de colonisation, qui l’avons provoquée. Ces trois exemples représentent des réalités, des déterminations écologiques qui n’ont rien à voir avec nos croyances, nos valeurs, nos idéologies, nos symboles. Nous pouvons identifier de mieux en mieux quand un écosystème comme une forêt est perturbé, troublé, malade ou menacé de mort. C’est l’interrelation de fonctions en équilibre(s) qui fait forêt. Tout ce qui perturbe, trouble ou menace ces équilibres est considéré comme toxique, comme nocif, comme maladif. Cela semble évident pour la forêt, or nous devons souligner que l’esprit humain ainsi que les sociétés humaines obéissent aux mêmes types de déterminations écologiques. Ces déterminations sont elles-mêmes déterminées par la singularité de chaque écosystème : il y a des forêts qui ont moins besoin d’eau, de chaleur et de lumière que d’autres, c’est d’ailleurs ce qui différencie la forêt de la jungle. Et il y a aussi des déterminations qui s’appliquent dans toute forêt, dans toute jungle : si les bactéries qui captent l’azote de l’air (N≡N – non assimilable) et qui le fixent dans le sol sous forme d’ammoniac, nitrites et nitrates (·NH3, ·NO2, ·NO3 - assimilables) disparaissent, alors n’importe quelle forêt ou jungle serait condamnée à une mort subite/rapide, car ces bactéries représentent la source d’azote pour la quasi-totalité des êtres vivants, l’azote faisant partie essentielle de l’ADN, leur absence serait fatale – pas d’azote assimilable, pas de vie. Nous considérons que ce sont ces déterminations, générales et singulières, dans chaque registre écologique et dans leur intrication – mental, social et environnemental – qui détermineront les sensibilités adaptées ou inadaptées dans un moment, une situation, un contexte, un territoire donné. Nous pouvons dire alors que les sensibilités de la gauche, ce sont des sensibilités seulement par rapport aux / concernant les trois registres écologiques dans leur intrication, tandis que la droite est précisément insensible aux rapports écologiques, à l’écologie dans ce sens large, et sensible ou hyper-sensible par rapport à ce qui fait inconsciemment peur, à ce qui menace leurs territoires existentiels, et plus précisément leurs points d’accrochage (deuxième Δ), autour desquels ces territoires ont été constitués / formés.
Gauche = sensibilités et compétences qui œuvrent dans le sens écologique – Écosophique : articulation transversale de trois registres écologiques – mental, social et environnemental.
Droite = sensibilités et compétences qui œuvrent dans un sens non-écologique, anti-écologique, écocide.

2025-06-05 08:02:20For years American bitcoin miners have argued for more efficient and free energy markets. It benefits everyone if our energy infrastructure is as efficient and robust as possible. Unfortunately, broken incentives have led to increased regulation throughout the sector, incentivizing less efficient energy sources such as solar and wind at the detriment of more efficient alternatives.
The result has been less reliable energy infrastructure for all Americans and increased energy costs across the board. This naturally has a direct impact on bitcoin miners: increased energy costs make them less competitive globally.
Bitcoin mining represents a global energy market that does not require permission to participate. Anyone can plug a mining computer into power and internet to get paid the current dynamic market price for their work in bitcoin. Using cellphone or satellite internet, these mines can be located anywhere in the world, sourcing the cheapest power available.
Absent of regulation, bitcoin mining naturally incentivizes the build out of highly efficient and robust energy infrastructure. Unfortunately that world does not exist and burdensome regulations remain the biggest threat for US based mining businesses. Jurisdictional arbitrage gives miners the option of moving to a friendlier country but that naturally comes with its own costs.
Enter AI. With the rapid development and release of AI tools comes the requirement of running massive datacenters for their models. Major tech companies are scrambling to secure machines, rack space, and cheap energy to run full suites of AI enabled tools and services. The most valuable and powerful tech companies in America have stumbled into an accidental alliance with bitcoin miners: THE NEED FOR CHEAP AND RELIABLE ENERGY.

2025-06-05 07:01:35Vice President JD Vance spoke to a packed crowd at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference in Las Vegas.
He said that the Biden era of digital assets crackdown is over, and the Trump administration is all in on Bitcoin, stablecoins and blockchain.
In an inspiring speech on May 28, JD Vance said:
“This isn’t a gathering of people—it’s a movement. And I’m proud to stand with you today.”
The annual Bitcoin Conference, one of the biggest events in the Bitcoin world, drew thousands of investors, industry leaders and policymakers.
Vance’s speech was the main event and made it clear that digital assets are now a priority for the White House.
JD Vance at Bitcoin 2025 — CNBC
Vance outlined three main goals for the administration’s digital asset policy:
- End anti-digital-asset regulations
- Pass stablecoin legislation through the GENIUS Act
- Create clear and friendly rules for the Bitcoin industry
He blamed past regulations for holding back innovation and said that era is over.
“Under the guise of ‘consumer protection,’ Gary Gensler attacked every attempt to democratize finance,” Vance said. “That ends now.”
Gensler stepped down in January and Trump has since appointed Paul Atkins to lead the agency with a more Bitcoin-friendly approach.
“Maybe the most important thing that we did for this community, we reject regulators and we fired Gary Gensler,” Vance added. “And we’re going to fire everybody like him.”
Much of Vance’s speech at Bitcoin 2025 focused on stablecoins – digital assets tied to the U.S. dollar. He called them a tool to grow the economy, not a threat.
“Let me be emphatic—this administration does not think that stablecoins threaten the integrity of the United States dollar. Quite the opposite. We view them as a force multiplier of our economic might,” he said.
The GENIUS Act, recently passed in the House, would regulate stablecoins by setting reserve requirements and transparency.
According to Vance, it would bring stablecoin activity back to the U.S. while protecting consumers.
JD Vance said millions of Americans already own bitcoin and that number will double soon.
“I believe it’s 50 million Americans own bitcoin, and I believe that’s going to be 100 million before too long,” he said.
He also talked about his personal history with Bitcoin.
“The first time I’d ever enter politics, back in 2022 … one of the frustrations I had with the crypto community … was [being] one of the only people running for office who actually owned bitcoin,” he said.
“and I still own a fair amount of bitcoin today.”
He celebrated bitcoin’s recent price surge and thanked companies like Coinbase for organizing the conference.
He thanked Bitcoin advocates like David Bailey and the Winklevoss twins for their support during the 2024 Trump campaign.
One of the best lines of the speech was when JD Vance declared an end to what the Bitcoin community has called “Operation Chokepoint 2.0”.
It’s a term used to describe what many saw as government efforts to cut off Bitcoin companies from banking services.
“Operation Chokepoint 2.0 is dead, and it’s not coming back under the Trump administration,” he said.
He framed the battle over Bitcoin adoption as not just about finance but also about civil liberties.
“Crypto is a hedge—against bad policymaking, against inflation, and against discrimination,” he said.
He referenced Canadian truckers and “debanking” incidents in the U.S. as examples of how digital assets can protect from government and corporate overreach.
The Vice President warned that regulatory clarity is needed now, or else, the $3 trillion digital asset industry will move overseas.
“If we fail to create regulatory clarity now, we risk chasing this $3 trillion industry offshore in search of a friendlier jurisdiction,” he said. “President Trump is going to fight to make sure that does not happen.”
He ended with a call to action for the Bitcoin community to stay involved in politics.
“If you don’t get involved in politics, politics will ignore you,” he said. “Let’s not wake up 10 years from now in a poorer, weaker country because we made bad decisions today.”
Vance’s speech at Bitcoin 2025 was a big moment of alignment between the United States government and the Bitcoin industry.
With new laws, friendlier regulators and the White House on board, it’s clear that Bitcoin is now on the national agenda.
As he said: “Crypto finally has a champion and an ally in the White House.”

2025-06-05 06:29:45Just calling it Open is not enough - Herausforderungen öffentlicher Bildungsinfrastrukturen und wie Nostr helfen könnte
Ich möchte gerne mit euch teilen, an welchen Konzepten ich arbeite, um die öffentliche Bildungsinfrastruktur mit Hilfe von Nostr zugänglicher und offener zu gestalten. Ich arbeite im Bereich öffentlicher Bildungsinfrastrukturen, besonders im Feld von Open Educational Resources (#OER). OER sind offen lizenzierte Bildungsmaterialien, die mit einer offenen Lizenz, meist einer Creative Commons Lizenz, versehen sind (CC-0, CC-BY, CC-BY-SA). Durch die klare und offene Lizenzierung ist es leicht möglich, die Lernmaterialien auf die individuellen Bedarfe anzupassen, sie zu verbessern und sie erneut zu veröffentlichen.
Seit vielen Jahren wird einerseits die Entwicklung freier Bildungsmaterialien gefördert, andererseits werden Plattformen, insbesondere Repositorien gefördert, die diese Materialien verfügbar machen sollen. Denn irgendwo müssen diese Materialien zur Verfügung gestellt werden, damit sie auch gefunden werden können.
Das klappt allerdings nur so mittelgut.
Herausforderungen
Nach vielen Jahren Förderung kann die einfache Frage: "Wo kann ich denn mein OER-Material bereitstellen" nicht einfach beantwortet werden. Es gibt Services, bei denen ich mein OER hochladen kann, jedoch bleibt es dann eingeschlossen in dieser Plattform und wird nicht auf anderen Plattformen auffindbar. Außerdem sind diese Services häufig an bestimmte Bildungskontexte gebunden oder geben Content erst nach einer Qualitätsprüfung frei. Dies führt dazu, dass ein einfaches und gleichzeitig öffentliches Teilen nicht möglich ist.
Diese und weitere Herausforderungen haben ihren Ursprung darin, dass Service und Infrastruktur in der Architektur öffentlichen Bildungsarchitektur ungünstig vermischt werden. Als Infrastruktur verstehe ich hier die Bereitstellung einer öffentlichen und offen zugänglichen Bildungsinfrastruktur, auf der Daten ausgetauscht, also bereitgestellt und konsumiert werden können. Jedoch existiert eine solche Infrstruktur momentan nicht unabhängig von den Services, die auf ihr betrieben werden. Infrastrukturbetreiber sind momentan gleichzeitig immer Servicebetreiber. Da sie aber die Hand darüber haben wollen, was genau in ihrem Service passiert (verständlich), schränken sie den Zugang zu ihrer Infrastruktur mit ein, was dazu führt, dass sie Lock-In Mechanismen großer Medienplattformen in der kleinen öffentlichen Bildungsinfrastruktur replizieren.
Es ist in etwas so, als würde jeder Autobauer auch gleichzeitig die Straßen für seine Fahrzeuge bauen. Aber halt nur für seine Autos.
Anhand einiger beispielhafter Services, die bestehende Plattformen auf ihren Infrastrukturen anbieten, möchte ich die Herausforderungen aufzeigen, die ich im aktuellen Architekturkonzept sehe:
- Upload von Bildungsmaterial
- Kuration: Zusammenstellung von Listen, Annotation mit Metadaten
- Crawling, Indexierung und Suche
- Plattfformübergreifende Kollaboration in Communities -> Beispiel: Qualitätssicherung (was auch immer das genau bedeutet)
- KI- Services -> Beispiel: KI generierte Metadaten für BiIdungsmaterial
Material Upload
Der Service "Material-Upload" oder das Mitteilen eines Links zu einem Bildungsmaterial wird von verschiedenen OER-Pattformen bereitgestellt (wirlernenonline.de, oersi.org, mundo.schule).
Dies bedeutet konkret: Wenn ich bei einer der Plattformen Content hochlade, verbleibt der Content in der Regel auch dort und wird nicht mit den anderen Plattformen geteilt. Das Resultat für die User: Entweder muss ich mich überall anmelden und dort mein Material hochladen (führt zu Duplikaten) oder damit leben, dass eben nur die Nutzer:innen der jeweiligen Plattform meinen Content finden können.
Der "Open Educational Resource Search Index" (OERSI) geht diese Herausforderung an, indem die Metadaten zu den Bildungsmaterialien verschiedener Plattformen in einem Index bereitgestellt werden. Dieser Index ist wiederum öffentlich zugänglich, sodass Plattformen darüber auch Metadaten anderer Plattformen konsumieren können. Das ist schon sehr gut. Jedoch funktioniert das nur für Plattformen, die der OERSI indexiert und für alle anderen nicht. Der OERSI ist auf den Hochschulbereich fokussiert, d.h. andere Bildungskontexte werden hier ausgeschlossen. Der Ansatz für jeden Bildungsbereich einen passenden "OERSI" daneben zustellen skaliert und schlecht und es bleibt die Herausforderung bestehen, dass für jede Quelle, die indexiert werden soll, ein entsprechender Importer/Crawler geschrieben werden muss.
Dieser Ansatz (Pull-Ansatz) rennt den Materialien hinterher.
Es gibt jedoch noch mehr Einschränkungen: Die Plattformen haben sich jeweils auf spezifische Bildungskontexte spezialisiert. D.h. auf die Fragen: Wo kann ich denn mein OER bereitstellen, muss immer erst die Gegenfrage: "Für welchen Bildungsbereich denn?" beantwortet werden. Wenn dieser außerhalb des allgemeinbildendenden Bereichs oder außerhalb der Hochschule liegt, geschweige denn außerhalb des institutionellen Bildungsrahmens, wird es schon sehr, sehr dünn. Kurzum:
- Es ist nicht einfach möglich OER bereitzustellen, sodass es auch auf verschiedenen Plattformen gefunden werden kann.
Kuration
Unter Kuration verstehe ich hier die Zusammenstellung von Content in Listen oder Sammlungs ähnlicher Form sowie die Annotation dieser Sammlungen oder des Contents mit Metadaten.
Einige Plattformen bieten die Möglichkeit an, Content in Listen einzuordnen. Diese Listen sind jedoch nicht portabel. Die Liste, die ich auf Plattform A erstelle, lässt sich nicht auf Plattform B importieren. Das wäre aber schön, denn so könnten die Listen leichter auf anderen Plattformen erweitert oder sogar kollaborativ gestaltet werden, andererseits werden Lock-In-Effekte zu vermieden.
Bei der Annotation mit Metadaten treten verschiedene zentralisierende Faktoren auf. In der momentanen Praxis werden die Metadaten meist zum Zeitpunkt der Contentbereitstellung festgelegt. Meist durch eine Person oder Redaktion, bisweilen mit Unterstützung von KI-Services, die bei der Metadateneingabe unterstützen. Wie aber zusätzliche eigene Metadaten ergänzen? Wie mitteilen, dass dieses Material nicht nur für Biologie, sondern auch für Sport in Thema XY super einsetzbar wäre? Die momentanen Ansätze können diese Anforderung nicht erfüllen. Sie nutzen die Kompetenz und das Potential ihrer User nicht.
- Es gibt keine interoperablen Sammlungen
- Metadaten-Annotation ist zentralisiert
- User können keine eigenen Metadaten hinzufügen
Crawling, Indexierung und Suche
Da die Nutzer:innen nicht viele verschiedene Plattformen und Webseiten besuchen wollen, um dort nach passendem Content zu suchen, crawlen die "großen" OER-Aggregatoren diese, um die Metadaten des Contents zu indexieren. Über verschiedene Schnittstellen oder gerne auch mal über das rohe HTML. Letztere Crawler sind sehr aufwändig zu schreiben, fehleranfällig und gehen bei Design-Anpassungen der Webseite schnell kaputt, erstere sind etwas stabiler, solange sich die Schnittstelle nicht ändert. Durch den Einsatz des Allgemeinen Metadatenprofils für Bildungsressourcen (AMB) hat sich die Situation etwas verbessert. Einige Plattformen bieten jetzt eine Sitemap an, die Links zu Bildungsmaterial enthalten, die wiederum eingebettet
script
-tags vom Typapplication/ld+json
enthalten, sodass die Metadaten von dort importiert werden können.Beispiel: e-teaching.org bietet hier eine Sitemap für ihre OER an: https://e-teaching.org/oer-sitemap.xml und auf den jeweiligen Seiten findet sich ein entsprechendes script-Tag.
Das ist schon viel besser, aber da geht noch mehr:
Zunächst ist dieser Ansatz nur für Plattformen und Akteure praktikabel, die über IT-Ressourcen verfügen, um entsprechende Funktionalitäten bei sich einbauen zu können. Lehrende können dies nicht einfach auf ihrem privaten Blog oder ähnliches umsetzen. Zum anderen besteht immer noch ein Discovery Problem. Ich muss nach wie vor wissen, wo ich suchen muss. Ich muss die Sitemaps kennen, sonst finde ich nichts. Statt eines Ansatzes, bei dem Akteure eigenständig mitteilen können, dass sie neuen Content haben (Push-Ansatz), verfolgen wir derzeit einen Ansatz, bei dem jede Plattform für sich Content im Pull-Verfahren akquiriert. Dies führt an vielen Stellen zu Doppelarbeiten, ist ineffizient (mehrere Personen bauen genau die gleichen Crawler, aber halt immer für ihre Plattform) und schliesst vor allem kleine Akteure aus (lohnt es sich einen Crawler zu programmieren, wenn die Webseite "nur" 50 Materialien bereitstellt?).
Anstatt erschlossene Daten zu teilen, arbeiten die Plattformen für sich oder stellen es höchstens wieder hinter eigenen (offenen oder geschlossenen) Schnittstellen bereit. Das ist wohl nicht das, was wir uns unter einer offenen und kollaborativen Gemeinschaft vorstellen, oder?
Bei der Suche stehen wir vor ähnlichen Herausforderungen, wie bereits oben geschildert. Obwohl verschiedene OER-Aggregatoren in Form von Repositorien oder Referatorien bereits viele der "kleineren" Plattformen indexieren und somit eine übergreifende Suche anbieten, ist es nicht möglich, diese Aggregatoren gemeinsam zu durchsuchen. Dies führt im Endeffekt dazu, dass die User wieder verschiedene Plattformen ansteuern müssen, wenn sie den gesamten OER-Fundus durchsuchen wollen.
- An vielen Stellen wird Content doppelt erschlossen, aber immer für die eigene Plattform
- Es gibt keinen geteilten Datenraum, in den Akteure Content "pushen" können
- Es gibt keine plattformübergreifenden Suchmöglichkeiten
Plattformübergreifende Kollaboration
Das wäre schön, oder? Mir ist schleierhaft, wie #OEP (Open Educational Practices, genaue Definition durch die Community steht noch aus) ohne funktionieren soll. Aber es gibt meines Wissens nach nicht mal Ansätze, wie das technisch umgesetzt werden soll (oder doch? let me hear).
Ein Szenario für solche plattformübergreifende Kollaboration könnte Qualitätssicherung sein. Gesetzt, dass sich zwei Plattformen / Communities auf etwas verständigt haben, dass sie als "Qualität" bezeichnen, wie aber dieses Gütesiegel nun an den Content bringen?
Plattform A: Na, dann kommt doch alle zu uns. Hier können wir das machen und dann hängt auch ein schönes Badge an den Materialien.
Plattform B: Ja, aber dann hängt es ja nicht an unseren Materialien. Außerdem wollen/müssen wir bei uns arbeiten, weil welche Existenzberechtigung hat denn meine Plattform noch, wenn wir alles bei dir machen?
- Obwohl nun #OEP in aller Munde sind, gibt es keine technischen Ansätze, wie (plattformübergreifende) Kollaboration technisch abgebildet werden kann
KI-Services
Was ist heute schon komplett ohne das Thema KI zu erwähnen? Mindestens für den nächsten Förderantrag muss auch irgendetwas mit KI gemacht werden...
Verschiedene Projekte erarbeiten hilfreiche und beeindruckende KI-Services. Beispielsweise, um die Annotation von Content mit Metadaten zu erleichtern, Metadaten automatisch hinzuzufügen, Content zu bestimmten Themen zu finden oder (halb-)automatisch zu Sammlungen hinzuzufügen. Aber (vielleicht habt ihr es schon erraten): Funktioniert halt nur auf der eigenen Plattform. Vermutlich, weil die Services nah am plattformeigenen Datenmodell entwickelt werden. Und da die Daten dieses Silo nicht verlassen, passt das schon. Das führt dazu, dass an mehreren Stellen die gleichen Services doppelt entwickelt werden.
- KI-Services funktionieren oft nur auf der Plattform für die sie entwickelt werden
Zusammenfassung der Probleme
Wir machen übrigens vieles schon sehr gut (Einsatz des AMB, Offene Bidungsmaterialien, wir haben eine großartige Community) und jetzt müssen wir halt weiter gehen.
(Die OER-Metadatengruppe, die das Allgemeine Metadatenprofil für Bildungsressourcen (AMB) entwickelt hat, bekommt für ihre Arbeit keine direkte Förderung. Gleichzeitig ist sie eine zentrale Anlaufstelle für alle, die mit Metadaten in offenen Bildungsinfrastukturen hantieren und das Metadatenprofil ist eines der wenigen Applikationsprofile, das öffentlich einsehbar, gut dokumentiert ist und Validierungsmöglichkeiten bietet.)
Betrachten wir die gesamten Plattformen und die beschriebenen Herausforderungen aus der Vogelperspektive, so lassen sich drei ineinander verschränkte Kernbestandteile unterscheiden, die helfen, die beschriebenen Probleme besser zu verstehen:
- User
- Service
- Daten
User: Auf (fast) allen Plattformen agieren User. Sie laden Material hoch, annotieren mit Metadaten, sind in einer Community, suchen Content usw. Egal, ob sie sich einloggen können/müssen, irgendetwas bieten wir unseren Usern an, damit sie daraus hoffentlich Mehrwerte ziehen
Service: Das ist dieses irgendetwas. Die "Webseite", die Oberfläche, das, wo der User klicken und etwas tun kann. Es ist das, was den Daten oft eine "visuelle" Form gibt. Der Service ist der Mittler, das Interface zwischen User und Daten. Mithilfe des Services lassen sich Daten erzeugen, verändern oder entfernen (Es gibt natürlich auch viele nicht-visuelle Services, die Interaktion mit Daten ermöglichen, aber für die meisten normalen Menschen, gibt es irgendwo was zu klicken).
Daten: Die Informationen in strukturierter maschinenlesbarer Form, die dem User in gerenderter Form durch einen Service Mehrwerte bieten können. Ungerenderte Daten können wir schwieirg erfassen (wir sind ja nicht Neo). Das können entweder die Metadaten zu Bildungmaterialien sein, die Materialien selbst, Profilinformationen, Materialsammlungen o.ä.
Meines Erachtens nach haben viele der oben beschriebenen Herausforderungen ihren Ursprung darin, dass die drei Kernbestandteile User, Service, Daten ungünstig miteinander verbunden wurden. Was kein Vorwurf sein soll, denn das ist genau die Art und Weise, wie die letzten Jahre (Jahrzehnte?) Plattformen immer gebaut wurden:
- User, Service und Daten werden in einer Plattform gebündelt
Das heisst durch meinen Service agieren die User mit den Daten und ich kann sicherstellen, dass in meiner kleinen Welt alles gut miteinander funktioniert. Sinnvoll, wenn ich Microsoft, Facebook, X oder ähnliches bin, weil mein Geschäftsmodell genau darin liegt: User einschließen (lock-in), ihnen die Hohheit über ihren Content nehmen (oder kannst du deine Facebook Posts zu X migrieren?) und nach Möglichkeit nicht wieder rauslassen.
Aber unsere Projekte sind öffentlich. Das sind nicht die Mechanismen, die wir replizieren sollten. Also was nun?
Bildungsinfrasstrukturen auf Basis des Nostr-Protokolls
Nostr
Eine pseudonyme Person mit dem Namen "fiatjaf" hat 2019 ein Konzept für ein Social Media Protokoll "Nostr - Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted By Relays" wie folgt beschrieben:
It does not rely on any trusted central server, hence it is resilient, it is based on cryptographic keys and signatures, so it is tamperproof, it does not rely on P2P techniques, therefore it works.
Fiatjaf, 2019
Die Kernbestandsteile des Protokolls bestehen aus:
- JSON -> Datenformat
- SHA256 & Schnorr -> Kryptographie
- Websocket -> Datenaustausch
Und funktionieren tut es so:
User besitzen ein "Schlüsselpaar": einen privaten Schlüssel (den behälst du für dich, nur für dich) und einen öffentlichen Schlüssel, den kannst du herumzeigen, das ist deine öffentliche Identität. Damit sagst du anderen Usern: Hier schau mal, das bin ich. Die beiden Schlüssel hängen dabei auf eine "magische" (kryptografische) Weise zusammen: Der öffentliche Schlüssel lässt sich aus dem privaten Schlüssel generieren, jedoch nicht andersherum. D.h. falls du deinen öffentlichen Schlüssel verlierst: Kein Problem, der lässt sich immer wieder herstellen. Wenn du deinen privaten Schlüssel verlierst: Pech gehabt, es ist faktisch unmöglich, diesen wieder herzustellen.
Die Schlüsselmagie geht jedoch noch weiter: Du kannst mit deinem privaten Schlüssel "Nachrichten" signieren, also wie unterschreiben. Diese Unterschrift, die du mit Hilfe des privaten Schlüssels erstellst, hat eine magische Eigenschaft: Jeder kann mithilfe der Signatur und deinem öffentlichen* Schlüssel nachprüfen, dass nur die Person, die auch den privaten Schlüssel zu diesem öffentlichen Schlüssel besitzt, diese Nachricht unterschrieben haben kann. Magisch, richtig? Verstehst du nicht komplett? Nicht schlimm, du benutzt es bereits vermutlich, ohne dass du es merkst. Das ist keine fancy neue Technologie, sondern gut abgehangen und breit im Einsatz.
Merke: User besitzen ein Schlüsselpaar und können damit Nachrichten signieren.
Dann gibt es noch die Services. Services funktionieren im Grunde wie bereits oben beschrieben. Durch sie interagieren die User mit Daten. Aber bei Nostr ist es ein kleines bisschen anders als sonst, denn: Die Daten "leben" nicht in den Services. Aber wo dann?
Wenn ein User einen Datensatz erstellt, verändert oder entfernen möchte, wird dieses "Event" (so nennen wir das bei Nostr) mit deinem privaten Schlüssel signiert (damit ist für alle klar, nur du kannst das gemacht haben) und dann mehrere "Relays" gesendet. Das sind die Orte, wo die Daten gehalten werden. Wenn ein User sich in einen Service einloggt, dann holt sich der Service die Daten, die er braucht von diesen Relays. User, Service und Daten sind also entkoppelt. Der User könnte zu einem anderen Service wechseln und sich dieseleben Daten von den Relays holen. Keine Lock-In Möglichkeiten.
Merke: User, Service und Daten sind entkoppelt.
Zuletzt gibt es noch die Relays. Relays sind Orte. Es sind die Orte, zu denen die Events, also die Daten der User, ihre Interaktionen, gesendet und von denen sie angefragt werden. Sie sind sowas wie das Backend von Nostr, allerdings tun sie nicht viel mehr als das: Events annehmen, Events verteilen. Je nach Konfiguration dürfen nur bestimmte User auf ein Relay schreiben oder davon lesen.
Das Protokoll ist von seinem Grunddesign auf Offenheit und Interoperabilität ausgelegt. Keine Registrierung ist nötig, sondern nur Schlüsselpaare. Durch kryptografische Verfahren kann dennoch die Authentizitität eines Events sichergestellt werden, da nur die Inhaberin des jeweiligen Schlüsselpaares dieses Event so erstellen konnte. Die Relays sorgen dafür die Daten an die gewünschten Stellen zu bringen und da wir mehr als nur eines benutzen, haben wir eine gewisse Ausfallsicherheit. Da die Daten nur aus signierten JSON-Schnipseln bestehen, können wir sie leicht an einen anderen Ort kopieren, im Falle eines Ausfalls. Durch die Signaturen ist wiederum sichergestellt, dass zwischendurch keine Veränderungen an den Daten vorgenommen wurden.
Beispiel: Ein Nostr Event
Hier ein kleiner technischer Exkurs, der beschreibt, wie Nostr Events strukturiert sind. Falls dich die technischen Details nicht so interessieren, überspringe diesen Abschnitt ruhig.
Jedes Nostr Event besitzt die gleiche Grundstruktur mit den Attributen:
id
: Der Hash des Eventspubkey
: Der Pubkey des Urhebers des Eventscreated_at
: Der Zeitstempel des Eventskind
: Der Typ des Eventstags
: Zusätzliche Metadaten für das Event können in diesem Array hinterlegt werdencontent
: Der textuelle Inhalt eines Eventssig
: Die Signatur des Events, um die Integrität der Daten zu überprüfen
json { "id": <32-bytes lowercase hex-encoded sha256 of the serialized event data>, "pubkey": <32-bytes lowercase hex-encoded public key of the event creator>, "created_at": <unix timestamp in seconds>, "kind": <integer between 0 and 65535>, "tags": [ [<arbitrary string>...], // ... ], "content": <arbitrary string>, "sig": <64-bytes lowercase hex of the signature of the sha256 hash of the serialized event data, which is the same as the "id" field> }
Die verwendeten Eventtypen sowie die existierenden Spezifikationen lassen sich unter https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/ einsehen.
Wichtig ist auch: Du kannst einfach anfangen, Anwendungen zu entwickeln. Die Relays werden alle Events akzeptieren, die dem o.g. Schema folgen. Du musst also niemanden um Erlaubnis fragen oder warten, bis deine Spezifikation akzeptiert und hinzugefügt wurde.
You can just build things.
Exkurs: Nostr für Binärdaten - Blossom
Ja, aber... das ist doch nur für textbasierte Daten geeignet? Was ist denn mit den Binärdaten (Bilder, Videos, PDFs, etc)
Diese Daten sind oft recht groß und es wurde sich auf das Best-Practice geeignet, diese Daten nicht auf Relays abzulegen, sondern einen besser geeigneten Publikationsmechanismus für diese Datentypen zu finden. Der Ansatz wird als "Blossom - Blobs stored simply on mediaservers" bezeichnet und ist recht unkompliziert.
Blossom Server (nichts anderes als simple Medienserver) nutzen Nostr Schlüsselpaare zur Verwaltung Identitäten und zum Signieren von Events. Die Blobs werden über ihren sha256 Hash identifiziert. Blossom definiert einige standardisierte Endpunkte, die beschreiben wie Medien hochgeladen werden können, wie sie konsumiert werden können usw.
Die Details, wie Authorisierung und die jeweiligen Endpunkte funktionieren, werden in der genannten Spezifikation beschrieben.
Nostr 🤝 Öffentliche Bildungsinfrastrukturen
Wie könnten Herausforderungen gelöst werden, wenn wir Nostr als Basis für die öffentliche Bildungsinfrastruktur einsetzen?
Material-Upload
- Es ist nicht einfach möglich OER bereitzustellen, sodass es auch auf verschiedenen Plattformen gefunden werden kann.
Mit Nostr als Basis-Infrastruktur würden die Metadaten und die Binärdaten nicht an den Service gekoppelt sein, von dem aus sie bereitgestellt wurden. Binärdaten können auf sogenannten Blossom-Servern gehostet werden. Metadaten, Kommentare und weitere textbasierte Daten werden über die Relay-Infrastruktur verteilt. Da Daten und Service entkoppelt sind, können die OER Materialien von verschiedenen Anwendungen aus konsumiert werden.
Kuration
- Es gibt keine interoperablen Sammlungen
- Metadaten-Annotation ist zentralisiert
- User können keine eigenen Metadaten hinzufügen
Sammlungen sind per se interoperabel. Auf Protokollebene ist definiert, wie Listen funktionieren. Die Annotation mit Metadaten ist an keiner Stelle zentralisiert. Das Versprechen der RDF-Community "Anyone can say anything about any topic" wird hier verwirklicht. Ich muss mir ja nicht alles anhören. Vielleicht konsumiere ich nur Metadaten-Events bestimmter Redaktionen oder User. Vielleicht nur diejenigen mit einer Nähe zu meinem sozialen Graphen. Jedenfalls gibt es die Möglichkeit für alle User entsprechende Metadaten bereit zu stellen.
Crawling, Indexierung und Suche * An vielen Stellen wird Content doppelt erschlossen, aber immer für die eigene Plattform * Es gibt keinen geteilten Datenraum, in den Akteure Content "pushen" können * Es gibt keine plattformübergreifenden Suchmöglichkeiten
Keine Doppelerschließungen mehr. Wenn ein User im Netzwerk ein Metadatenevent veröffentlicht hat, ist es für alle konsumierbar. Der Datenraum ist per se geteilt. Plattformübergreifende Suche wird durch die Kombination aus Relays und NIPs ermöglicht. In den NIPs können spezielle Query-Formate für die jeweiligen NIPs definiert werden. Relays können anzeigen, welche NIPs sie untersützten. Eine plattformübergreifende Suche ist im Nostr eine relay-übergreifende Suche.
Plattformübergreifende Kollaboration
- Obwohl nun #OEP in aller Munde sind, gibt es keine technischen Ansätze, wie (plattformübergreifende) Kollaboration technisch abgebildet werden kann
Nostr ist der technische Ansatz.
KI-Services
- KI-Services funktionieren oft nur auf der Plattform für die sie entwickelt werden
Es gibt im Nostr das Konzept der Data Vending Machines (s. auch data-vending-machines.org). Statt also einfach nur eine API zu bauen (was auch schon sehr schön ist, wenn sie offen zugänglich ist), könnten diese Services auch als Akteure im Nostr Netzwerk fungieren und Jobs annehmen und ausführen. Die Art der Jobs kann in einer Spezifikation beschrieben werden, sodass die Funktionsweise für alle interessierten Teilnehmer im Netzwerk einfach nachzuvollziehen ist.
Die Services könnten sogar monetarisiert werden, sodass sich hier auch Möglichkeiten böten, Geschäftsmodelle zu entwickeln.
Fazit
Die Open Education Community ist großartig. Es sind einzigartige und unglaublich engagierte Menschen, die sich dem hehren Ziel "Zugängliche Bildung für Alle" -> "Offene Bildung" verschrieben haben. Wir verwenden Creative Commons Lizenzen -> Commons -> Gemeingüter. Es ist okay, dass viele Projekte von Sponsoren und Förderungen abhängig sind. Was wir machen, ist im Sinne eines Gemeingutes: Öffentliche Bildung für alle. Also zahlen wir als Gemeinschaft alle dafür.
Was nicht okay ist: Dass das, wofür wir alle gezahlt haben, nach kurzer Zeit nicht mehr auffindbar ist. Dass es eingeschlossen wird. In öffentlich finanzierten Datensilos. Es muss für alle auch langfristig verfügbar sein. Sonst ist es nicht zugänglich, nicht offen. Dann ist das O in OER nur ein Label und Marketing, um für eine ABM-Maßnahme 3 Jahre Geld zu bekommen. Denn nichts anderes ist Content-Entwicklung, wenn der Content nach drei Jahren weggeschmissen wird.
Und dasselbe gilt für OEP. Offene Lernpraktiken, sind auch nur eine Phrase, wenn wir die passende technische Infrastruktur nicht mitdenken, die wirkliche Offenheit und Kollaboration und damit die Umsetzung offener Lernpraktiken ermöglicht.
Und wenn wir uns jetzt nicht Gedanken darüber machen, die Infrastruktur für offenes Lernen anzupassen, dann werden wir vermutlich in einigen Jahren sehen können, was bei politischen Umorientierungen noch davon übrig bleiben wird. Wenn die Fördertöpfe komplett gestrichen werden, was bleibt dann übrig von dem investierten Geld?
Wir brauchen Lösungen, die engagierte Communities weiter betreiben können und denen kein Kopf abgeschlagen werden kann, ohne dass wir zwei neue daneben setzen könnten.
Wir müssen uns jetzt Gedanken darüber machen.
Wie offen will öffentliche Bildungsinfrastruktur sein?

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

2025-06-05 06:36:49加密货币的现象学主权:制造“主权合法性的地平线”
1. 合法性地平线的概念界定
“合法性地平线”概念源于现象学的意向性结构与福柯的治理技术相结合,用以描述主权合法性如何被“看见”与“经验”。胡塞尔的现象学认为,每一种意识经验都带有一个“地平线”,即对象在主体意识中的出现总是伴随背景期待和可能性范围plato.stanford.edu。“地平线”代表了对象被给予时隐含的上下文——例如看到一张桌子时,我们预期换个角度仍看到桌子的不同侧面plato.stanford.edu。类似地,“主权合法性的地平线”指的是人们对某种权力或治理结构之合法性的背景期待:什么使它被感知为正当?这种正当性在经验中如何显现?
福柯的权力-知识视角进一步丰富了这一概念。他指出现代权力不仅通过法律和强制,而且通过生产知识、 discourse和治理术来发挥作用,使个体自觉内化某种规范en.wikipedia.org。福柯的“治理性”(governmentality)指一套组织实践、心态和技术,用以塑造被治理者的行为,从而使社会可被治理en.wikipedia.orgen.wikipedia.org。这意味着权力通过塑造认知与行为来制造“真理”,进而让自身的正当性看起来自然而然en.wikipedia.org。因此,当我们讨论Crypto系统的主权合法性时,必须考察其如何通过技术和符号手段塑造用户对合法性的直观感受。
在Crypto领域,代码即法律(“code is law”)的理念体现了这种通过技术制造合法性感知的努力:区块链系统将权力关系直接编码进协议,以数学“真理”取代引入暴力的主权命令medium.com。通过共识算法、智能合约和链上治理,Crypto系统创造了一种可经验的秩序感:网络规则透明公开、对所有参与者一视同仁地适用,因而让人感到这套秩序“自洽”且有正当性。这种经验结构就是“合法性地平线”——用户在与Crypto系统互动时,感知到一种内在的规则正当性背景。例如,去中心化网络的界面设计、视觉符号(币标、NFT艺术等)、参与仪式(节点投票、提案讨论)都成为现象学意义上的“提示”,引导参与者将该系统视为某种主权实体的化身,其合法性在体验中被建构和感受。
简言之,合法性地平线指的是Crypto系统通过代码规则与治理技术,营造出一种主权正当性的感知视域,使得参与者“看到”并“感觉到”该系统的权力是合理的、可信的。这一概念融合了胡塞尔的意向性地平线(对象在经验中的意义背景)plato.stanford.edu和福柯的治理技术(权力通过知识和技术使自身合法化)en.wikipedia.org。在这个视域中,主权合法性不再仅仅是一套法律文本或国家权威的声明,而是被嵌入在Crypto网络的日常体验和符号实践中,成为参与者主观生活世界的一部分。
2. 不同Crypto系统的主权合法性建构之比较
各类加密货币系统在构建主权合法性的路径上存在显著差异。这些差异体现于叙事策略、政治参与形式以及它们对待国家既有权力结构的姿态。下面将比较比特币、以太坊、“矿币”(如门罗币Monero、比特币现金BCH)、meme币(如DOGE狗狗币)与“国家代理币”(如波场TRON、币安币BNB)如何各自制造和投射其合法性地平线:
-
比特币(Bitcoin):比特币通过“去中心化的货币”叙事建立其合法性视域。作为第一个区块链币种,它宣称无需任何中央权威即可运作,bitcoin.org其P2P网络由所有节点集体维护交易和发行规则bitcoin.org。这种无中心的特性及公开透明的设计(开源代码、总量恒定等)构成了比特币合法性地平线的核心:用户在使用比特币时体验到的是一种“不依赖国家背书而自洽”的金融秩序。从政治参与看,比特币的治理相当克制——共识规则变化需要全网多数接受,但普通用户主要通过运行节点、舆论参与来影响决策。比特币对国家权威的姿态是疏离甚至对抗的:它诞生于对央行和法币的不信任,其“自我主权”理念强调个人掌控资产、抵御通胀和审查bitcoin.org。因此,比特币的合法性来源于一种技术乌托邦叙事:因为有密码学和算力保障的“真实”共识,它试图成为无需暴力强制也能令人信服的主权货币替代品。
-
以太坊(Ethereum):以太坊以“世界计算机”和去中心化应用平台的叙事建立合法性。其焦点在于提供一个信任中立的基础设施,让任何人可在其上部署智能合约和自治组织。以太坊的合法性地平线体现在社区共治和持续进化上:开发者和持币者通过Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIP)等机制参与协议升级,体现出某种“公民参与”式的治理。相较比特币的保守,以太坊更强调通过技术治理(例如近期的权益证明合并)来提升网络,从而使参与者体验到一种“宪政”氛围——规则可以被有序改进但需达成广泛共识。以太坊对国家的姿态较为务实中立:一方面核心开发者强调去信任和抗审查,另一方面也出现与企业、政府合作的探索(例如企业以太联盟EEA)。总的来说,以太坊试图通过自身的治理结构赢得合法性认同,即“代码之治”也能产生稳定可信的规则秩序,让用户相信以太坊作为基础设施是正当且持久的。
-
“矿币”类(门罗币Monero、比特币现金BCH 等):这些由PoW挖矿支撑的独立链试图通过差异化理念建立合法性。_门罗币(XMR)_的核心叙事是“金融隐私即人权”。它以强匿名技术(环签名、隐匿地址)确保交易无法追踪,从而保护用户免受监控。这种隐私至上的设计塑造出一种道义合法性:拥护者视门罗为对抗强权窥视的“地下主权货币”,满足了对__“不受政府控制的私密数字现金”的需求coinstats.app。许多用户将门罗视为一种金融自由运动,认为其价值不仅在技术,更在于实践了个人隐私和去国家化的理想coinstats.app。这种合法性地平线带有浓厚的他者伦理色彩:门罗以他者(用户个人)的绝对隐私权利为出发点来挑战国家的透明化权力。*比特币现金(BCH)*则以“点对点电子现金”的愿景自我合法化。由于不满比特币在扩容问题上的治理,BCH社区通过硬分叉另立门户,主张更大的区块以实现高吞吐量交易,从而真正落实日常支付之用。BCH的合法性叙事建立在对中本聪原旨的捍卫和对“小区块高费用”比特币路线的反抗上:支持者声称BCH才继承了比特币作为普惠数字现金**的正统。在政治参与方面,BCH社区更激进直接,以分叉手段投票,以技术手段执行“人民意志”。对国家权威,BCH与BTC类似,倾向于忽视或平行存在,通过先构建民间采用(一些发展中国家商户接受BCH支付等)来潜移默化获取合法性认同,而非寻求政府背书。
-
Meme币(以DOGE为代表):狗狗币以戏谑和社区文化打造出独特的合法性视域。其诞生本是一场对严肃金融的调侃:柴犬形象和戏谑语调淡化了传统权力符号。但正是这种去权威化的平易近人风格,使DOGE形成了强大的草根认同感。狗狗币的叙事不是宏大叙事,而是“互联网亚文化的胜利”——它暗含一种对正规金融和精英主义的反抗,但方式是幽默和慈善(例如社区募资赞助体育队、奥运选手等事件)。DOGE缺乏严格的链上治理,其开发也长期停滞,但这反而强化了一种“自发秩序”的体验:社区共识主要通过社交媒体和名人带动形成,而非正式投票。Elon Musk等人的参与更赋予其某种“民意代理”的色彩——仿佛大众情绪经由名人之口成为DOGE价值的背书。对于国家等宏大他者,狗狗币采取的是玩笑般的态度:既不直接抗衡也无意合规寻求承认,而是通过病毒式传播让自己成为社群现象。它的合法性地平线建立在“人气即公理”的感受上:参与DOGE的人因为欢乐、互助和社区精神而相信它的价值——这是一种全新的主权幻象,好似**“人民的笑声”**本身成了权威。在严肃制度看来这也许缺乏传统合法性,但在参与者体验中,DOGE营造出一个轻松却凝聚的共同体,这本身构成了对主权合法性的另类想象。
-
“国家代理币”(TRON波场、Binance Coin币安币):这类由企业或创始人强力主导的Crypto系统,其合法性建构路径与上述去中心化理想截然不同。它们更像是在模仿和代理国家主权,通过与现有权力结构的合作与对接来赢得合法性认同。*波场(TRON)*由孙宇晨主导,采取高度市场化和中心化的运营方式,同时积极寻求监管和政府的正面互动。波场网络上的稳定币(如USDT)发行量巨大,是除以太坊外最大的稳定币结算链之一(截至2024年Tron链上流通的USDT价值接近600亿美元,仅次于以太坊上的750亿coindesk.com)。这种庞大的稳定币流通使波场实质上成为国际美元稳定币清算网络的一部分,仿佛承担了“影子央行”功能。此外,波场积极配合监管:2024年成立“T3打击金融犯罪部门”,联合区块链分析公司和稳定币发行方,已在全球范围内冻结了1亿美元涉嫌非法的USDT资产coindesk.com。通过这一链上冻结和执法机制,波场表现出类国家警务的功能,向用户和政府传达出“我们维护法治”的信号。波场团队甚至直接介入国家政治:创始人孙宇晨曾出任格林纳达驻WTO大使(2021-2023),并成功推动多米尼克国将TRON系列加密货币(包括TRX, BTT, JST等)作为法定货币授权流通,用于公共缴费和税收commonwealthchamber.com。这一系列举措构筑了波场的合法性地平线:通过与小国政府合作、模拟国家职能(发行法币、执法冻结)以及高调与各国政要互动,波场试图让公众相信:尽管它不是“真正的”主权国家,但它是缺位主权的代理者,一个值得信赖的准国家金融体系。
*币安币(BNB)*则依托全球最大加密交易所币安的影响力来建构合法性。BNB链由币安主导,其治理采用验证者联盟模式,实际控制力集中。这种结构下,币安选择通过拥抱监管和强调合规性来让BNB生态显得“安全可靠”。例如,币安推动发行的稳定币BUSD曾是完全持牌的合规稳定币,由纽约金融服务署批准发行binance.com(直至2023年监管介入暂停增发)。BNB链也展现出准主权的治理能力:虽然标榜去中心化,但在2022年一次恶性攻击后,币安团队协调验证者冻结了黑客地址,随后通过链上治理决定如何处置被盗资产cointelegraph.com。事实证明币安有能力在必要时单方面暂停网络、冻结资金,这类似于国家在紧急状态下冻结账户或央行干预金融市场的权力。此外,币安在各国积极寻求合法牌照,建立合规部门,雇佣前政府官员作为顾问,体现了对主权法规的尊重和对接。这一切塑造出BNB的合法性视域:用户在其中感受到的是一个由企业主导但受法律框架认可的体系——币安扮演着某种超国家的经济体角色,试图将加密世界与传统国家体系桥接。因此,在BNB的地平线上,主权合法性表现为一种混合体:既强调自身作为独立生态系统的技术权威,又通过拥抱监管来暗示其行为获得现实合法性的许可。
3. TRON与BNB的主权合法性地平线建构机制
着重分析波场(TRON)和币安链(BNB)这两个“国家代理币”案例,可以更清晰地看到Crypto系统如何通过具体机制制造合法性认知的地平线,将“主权缺位”转化为“主权代理”。
首先,稳定币结算网络是两者的重要抓手。波场凭借极低手续费和高吞吐性能,承载了巨额的USDT稳定币交易coindesk.com。这意味着大量用户(尤其在亚非等新兴市场)通过波场网络完成美元价值的跨境转移。客观上,波场在充当部分国际清算体系的功能。这一点被波场团队策略性地用于合法性建构:他们高调宣布TRON成为多米尼克的“国家区块链”,不仅在法律上获准其代币为法币commonwealthchamber.com,还协助该国发行了多米尼克币(DMC)等基于波场的国家代币。这种深度绑定国家的行为,使波场在用户心中产生一种“准官方”的印象——仿佛波场网络是有主权意志背书的。相比之下,币安的BNB链在稳定币方面则通过BUSD的合规性树立公信力:BUSD在美国持牌发行binance.com时,币安广泛宣传其“安全、有监管保障”的属性。这向大众传递的信息是:BNB生态内的价值尺度(稳定币)是受到传统金融法规保护的,从而增加对其使用的信任。这种“法币锚定”的经验缩小了Crypto系统与法定主权体系的心理距离,让用户觉得BNB网络内的资产更“像正规钱”。
其次,链上冻结机制与监管代理凸显了这两大系统主动承担“执法”功能,以换取合法性认同。波场的T3部门联合第三方在全球范围冻结非法资金coindesk.com,表明波场并非一个无法无天的“暗网”,而是愿意扮演金融警察角色。这一机制在体验层面制造出清晰信号:波场网络上的犯罪行为会被惩戒,资产可以按规矩被冻结返还,网络秩序得到维护——这些过去只有主权国家才能做到的事,如今一个链上组织也做到了。对于政府而言,这无疑提升了对波场的信任,因为它显示出配合监管的姿态。BNB链在应对黑客攻击时展现的冻结账户和回滚交易能力cointelegraph.com则进一步强化了这一点。虽然此举在加密社区中引发去中心化受损的争议,但从合法性认知角度看,却让普通用户感到一种熟悉的安全感——正如银行被盗时央行和警方会介入,BNB链遭黑客时币安团队亦有权力干预救济。这种可经验的治理结构(例如用户听闻某黑客被冻结资产、某诈骗犯在波场上资金被冻结)直接让用户将波场和BNB视作“负责任的治理者”。福柯意义上,这是加密网络运用现代治理技术赢得权力合法性的体现:通过主动监管自身生态,塑造良好秩序的知识和话语,让自身权威显得必要且正当en.wikipedia.org。
再者,政治人物互动与象征资本也是TRON与BNB制造合法性地平线的重要策略。孙宇晨以其公共身份为波场攒足了象征资本:他以国家大使身份出席国际组织,在推特上自称“H.E.”(His Excellency)彰显外交头衔,将个人品牌与主权象征绑定。这种行为虽然饱受争议,但在现象学层面为波场用户提供了一个感知框架:波场的领导者被视为主流政治圈的一员,从而仿佛赋予波场网络以某种“准国家”的光环。同样地,币安创始人赵长鹏(CZ)频繁出现在各国监管机构会议、国际论坛和媒体访谈中,努力将自己塑造成负责任的行业领袖形象。币安还聘请前政府高官为顾问,在多个国家建立合规团队。这一系列举措在用户经验中累积出一种印象:BNB和币安并非游离于法律之外的野蛮生长,而是积极融入主流规则之中。用户在参与BNB链生态时,会感到一种“安心”——仿佛背后有成熟企业和甚至某种政府级别的信誉作支撑。这其实正对应于列维纳斯所强调的伦理关系:他者(政府、社会)对于一个主体的合法性至关重要。Crypto系统通过与他者(政治权威)的互动,赢得了来自他者的承认,从而在伦理意义上缓解了“无主权背书”带来的焦虑。在列维纳斯看来,他者性的承认带来伦理上的正当medium.com。波场和BNB通过争取他者的承认,部分地填补了纯技术自我封闭体系的伦理赤字——用户不再只是面对冰冷代码,也看到这些系统在现实他者(政府、名人)那里获得了回应和责任承担。
总体而言,TRON与BNB走的是一条“以他者成就自我”的主权建构之路:它们没有国家那样的传统合法性来源,便通过模仿国家职能(发行法币、监管执法)和寻求国家认同(法律地位、外交合作)来主动制造一个合法性知觉的“地平线”。在这个地平线上,用户仿佛站在一个新型主权的领域边界:向内看,是自成一体、规则透明的区块链秩序;向外看,又与既有主权世界接轨,被赋予熟悉的合法性象征。主权的空位因此被这些Crypto系统以代理人身份占据,并在经验中呈现出一种强烈的主权氛围。
4. 去国家化还是再国家化?——主权合法性的变迁
通过上述分析,我们看到主权合法性正在从传统国家转移到“可经验的治理结构”和“自洽的合法性感知”上来。在某些Crypto系统中,合法性不再仰赖国家授予,而是源于网络自身运行所生成的认同感和秩序感。这种转变本身带有辩证的两面:一方面,去中心化技术削弱了地理国家对合法性的垄断;但另一方面,这些技术社群往往重新制造出一种更强烈的主权意象,仿佛回归了主权逻辑的另一种形式(即“再国家化”)。
从福柯的观点看,这体现了一种权力编碼方式的更替。国家的主权在本质上是一套权力关系的编碼,靠暴力和法律被维系medium.com。“合法性”传统上来自于**“统治的习俗化”:人民接受国家是因为历史、法律和强制使其看似当然。然而Crypto开创了另一个路径:它通过“真理化”权力关系来赢得合法性。诚如福柯所言,现代国家以“权威而非真理”铸成法律;而区块链则尝试以“真理(共识不可篡改)”来让秩序合法medium.com。medium.com有学者借鉴福柯的生权力概念指出,加密系统通过把权力关系字面地编入代码,创造了一种全新的社会、经济乃至政治力量medium.com。这种力量一方面作为对抗国家装置的反权力出现,另一方面又提供了新型的治理方案和法律形式medium.com。换言之,在Crypto中“代码之治”取代了“暴力之治”,共识机制取代枪炮成为背后支撑规则的力量medium.com。它以数学和协议的不可违背性打造出一种“不可侵犯的真理体系”**来承载法律,从而宣称自己具有正当性medium.com。这种正当性被参与者以切身经验感知到:每一笔交易的确定性、每一次投票的公开透明,都在累积对系统公正性的信任。当足够多的人认同“链上的结果即合法”,那么代码本身就获得了权威。
然而,这是否意味着国家主权失去了角色?事实上,我们在TRON、BNB案例中看到,相当多Crypto系统依然寻求模拟乃至重塑主权。可以说,Crypto并非单纯地消解主权,而是在重写主权。许多区块链网络内部形成的治理结构,本质上是某种微观政治共同体,它们需要获得“合法性资本”以维系内部秩序vitalik.eth.limo。维塔利克·布特林强调,合法性是一种关键的稀缺资源,是区块链运作的基石vitalik.eth.limo。当社区认定某种共识改变是合法的,它就会被接受;反之则可能分叉或叛离vitalik.eth.limo。这表明即使没有国家,社群本身会生成新的合法性来源。这种合法性或许来自道德感召(如门罗的隐私伦理),或来自技术信念(如比特币的算法公正),或来自领袖魅力和政治交易(如TRON/BNB)。无论来源如何,其共同点是:经由参与者的体验和共识,这些Crypto系统内部涌现出一种共同承认的权威。
可以将其理解为**“自洽的合法性感知”:Crypto系统通过一套自足的规则和象征,使参与者产生对其正当性的直觉认知。这种正当性未必需要外在支持,正如列维纳斯所言,“他者的面容”赋予我们伦理上的责任和正当约束;在去中心化网络中,“他者”即社区共识本身**。每个节点、每个用户既是他者也是自身主权的一部分:当他们彼此认可网络规则的正当性时,就构成了一种内在伦理契约。比特币社区不需要某国政府认可其发行的币合法,但社区内部对21百万上限、对工作量证明的认同本身就是合法性的来源。同理,以太坊社区在DAO事件后选择回滚分叉,是基于成员对“恢复社会正义”的共识来定义何为合法结果,而非听命于外部权威vitalik.eth.limo。
因此,我们正见证某种主权概念的奇异转变:主权合法性从地理国家转移到分布式网络,从肉身暴力转移到算法规则,从他律转移到某种新形式的自律(但这种自律又是一群人的共同他律)。这可以被视为一种去国家化的主权(de-nationalized sovereignty)。它在表面上削弱了民族国家的统治,但在实践中,加密网络内部往往塑造出更强烈的“主权”氛围:有旗帜(符号和Logo)、有宪章(白皮书和协议)、有公民(持币人)、有政府(开发团队/节点联盟)和法院(共识投票机制)。甚至,Crypto主权者还创造出了自己的暴力替代物:矿工的算力竞争、验证者的斥资押注,都扮演着捍卫秩序的功能——虽然不以流血形式出现,却也要求付出资源和冒险来维护规则。
值得注意的是,这种新型主权氛围也潜藏风险:列维纳斯提醒我们,真正的伦理在于对他者的无条件责任。如果一种新的“主权”缺乏对真正他者(如社会上最弱者、圈外人)的关切,而只顾自身体系的自洽,那么它可能蜕变为封闭的“总体性”,失去伦理高度。换言之,自洽的合法性必须警惕变成一种自我循环的独断。如果Crypto系统只是在复制国家主权的仪式而缺乏对他者的敏感,那么它带来的可能不是真正超越国家的政治解放,反而可能是技术掩饰下的旧权力延续。
5. 结语:新的政治现象的生成?
通过对加密货币“制造主权合法性的地平线”的探讨,我们进入了一个复杂而耐人寻味的哲学反思:我们是否正在见证一种全新的政治现象生成?Crypto所引发的,究竟是对“统治”、“合法性”与“国家”这些根本范畴的改写,还是对其模拟与延展?
一方面,区块链技术的出现无疑挑战了传统政治哲学。昔日主权离不开疆域与暴力,如今无形的代码与共识竟能使数亿资金流转、有社区誓死捍卫其决策。权力不再完全垄断于政府机构;合法性不再完全依赖霍布斯式的臣民契约或韦伯式的科层理性,而在很大程度上取决于技术架构能否令参与者信服。如果说政治现象的生成需要公共领域中主体间的互动,那么Crypto提供了一个前所未有的新场域:匿名的个体通过算法秩序关联在一起,形成了某种准政治共同体。从现象学角度看,我们的经验世界里第一次出现了**“数字此在”**(digital Dasein)彼此互动生成秩序的景象——没有警察和军队,但有哈希和共识;没有政府颁布法律,但有协议自动执行;没有法袍加身的法官,但有遍布全球的节点见证和仲裁。这究竟是对政治的扬弃,还是另一种形式的政治?或许我们正站在理解政治的新地平线上。
另一方面,我们也需清醒地看到,新事物背后潜藏旧问题。Crypto的很多实践是在重新定义合法性来源,但仍然绕不开人类社会固有的权力张力。链上治理也好、社区共识也罢,无法免俗地出现寡头影响、话语控制、少数服从多数等经典政治难题。甚至,一些Crypto系统以去中心之名行中心集权之实,只不过权力披上了技术的外衣。因而,我们应当辩证地看待Crypto的“再主权化”倾向:它可能预示着政治形态从民族国家向网络共同体的演变,但未必根本消除了不公和压迫。正如福柯分析的,那些看似超越国家的新权力网络,也许只是在以更微妙的方式治理我们en.wikipedia.org。
对于哲学而言,Crypto提供了一个试金石。它迫使我们重新审视“统治”究竟意味着什么:当没有了可见的统治者,规则本身成为统治,我们还如何定义服从与自由?它也促使我们反思“合法性”的本质:究竟是源自暴力威慑、传统习俗,抑或如卢梭所愿是公共意志?在区块链上,公共意志表现为共识算法下的“多数同意”,但这与理想的人民主权是否相符,仍有待商榷。最后,“国家”的概念或将被重构:也许未来的“国家”不再局限于地理和民族,而可能是一群共享某种链上身份和价值观的人所组成的数字邦联。“网络主权”或者“算法城邦”不再是科幻小说的描绘,而是现实政治经济中的活跃力量。
我们正在迈入一个灰色地带:传统政治哲学的范畴在此与数字现实交织,出现模糊和变形。Crypto既非纯粹技术现象,也非单一经济事物,而更像是一次跨领域的实验,带有人类对秩序与自由的双重渴望。或许再过若干年,我们回看今日,会发现Crypto确实开启了一场关于主权合法性的深刻变革;也或许,我们会发现它只是在旧逻辑中循环。但无论如何,当下这一幕——代码、伦理、权力交织下的合法性地平线之生成——值得我们以最审慎又开放的心态去观察、去理论化。这不仅关乎Crypto本身的命运,更关系到21世纪人类如何重新定义自身共同生活的基本准则。我们也许正在书写“统治-合法性-国家”三位一体的新篇章,其走向仍未定型,而思想的追问与参与将是塑造这一走向的重要力量。

2025-06-05 05:55:45TRX 与 Crypto 政治代理模型:从哈耶克到稳定币主权
Crypto 即政治:从“罪”与“犯”的隐喻谈主权分化
“加密货币即政治”并非危言耸听。在社会分类中,“违法”与“犯罪”是两个层次的概念:前者意味着契约或规则的违背,而后者则是在权力结构下对自由行动者的政治性压制。换言之,有些行为本身并无“原罪”,却因触犯统治者利益被贴上“犯罪”的标签。这正如法学中对自然犯(mala in se,如偷盗谋杀等天生有害的行为)和法定犯(mala prohibita,因立法禁令才成为犯罪的行为)的区分。当代货币体系中,国家对货币发行与流通的垄断,造就了主权货币与“非法货币”的二元对立。奥地利学派经济学家哈耶克早在《货币的非国家化》中就预言:如果允许私人发行货币与法币公开竞争,最终能保持购买力稳定的货币将胜出finance.sina.cn。哈耶克认为政府垄断发行的不稳定货币终将让位于更稳定的竞争货币finance.sina.cn——这一观点在加密时代愈发具有隐喻意义。
如今的 Crypto 网络即是主权的实验场。各国监管者对稳定币、链上资金流动和法币通道的管控,构成了对加密行动者的“违法/犯罪”判定。例如,使用未授权稳定币进行跨境转账、绕过资本管制,并不违反当事人之间的契约,却往往被视作违法甚或犯罪行为——原因无他,只因这挑战了既有的金融主权架构。现象学视角提醒我们,应透过现象看本质:当执法者将自由交易行为定性为“犯罪”,正是传统主权对新兴数字主权的压制。Crypto世界中,“合法”与“非法”的界线并非由道德决定,而是由谁掌握规则决定。这为理解 Crypto 生态内各阵营的主权分化提供了理论框架:哪个网络掌握了自主的规则制定权,哪个网络就赢得了主权话语权。
稳定币主权与 TRX:黑灰资金的草根网络
稳定币是当前加密领域主权争夺的核心工具。最典型者莫过于 USDT 等美元锚定币——它们由私人公司发行,却承载着超主权货币的野心。尤其在 Tron(波场)网络 上,USDT 展现出惊人的统治力。2025年4月,波场上的 USDT 流通量突破700亿美元,占全球 USDT 总发行量近一半finance.sina.com.cn。截至今年5月,波场TRON上流通的 USDT 数量已反超以太坊,成为全球最大的稳定币发行与结算网络coindesk.comcoindesk.com。这种格局绝非偶然——波场独特的资源冻结机制(用户可冻结TRX获取带宽/能量从而基本免费交易)降低了交易门槛,使得小额高频的资金流动极为廉价。这使 TRX 链天然成为草根资金的“结算主链”,承接了大量主流金融体系之外的资金需求。
更值得关注的是波场上的黑市/灰色地带资金流动。低费率、高效率和对审查相对宽松的特性,吸引了大量游走于监管边缘的资本选择TRX链作为避风港。据区块链分析公司 TRM Labs 报告,2024年全球非法加密交易中有超过一半发生在 Tron 网络上,金额高达260亿美元dlnews.comdlnews.com。这些非法活动包括与受制裁实体相关的转账、诈骗黑客资金洗白以及暗网交易等dlnews.com。不法分子之所以青睐波场,正是看中了其稳定币通道和低交易成本等优势dlnews.com。北韩黑客在2024年盗取的8亿美元加密资产,大部分在数小时内经由波场链上的USDT迅速转移dlnews.com。联合国的分析同样指出,波场网络上的 USDT 已成为东亚地区欺诈和洗钱者的“首选”工具dlnews.com。由此可见,波场实际上扮演着**“无照金融公路”的角色:那些被传统金融体系拒之门外、没有正规交易所资格的人,可以通过波场上的USDT完成跨境汇兑和大额交易。这种自下而上的草根主权**,在波场网络上得到了前所未有的市场化体现。
当然,“草根主权”的另一面是高风险和争议。Tether公司虽偶有配合监管冻结特定链上地址,但波场整体上对资金流向的管束远不如银行体系。这使其成为地下资金的温床,也令波场背负“黑钱温床”的骂名。然而,换个角度看,这正验证了那句箴言:革命者在暴政者眼中即是罪犯。波场承载的灰色资金,恰恰反映了主流权力视角下的“犯罪”,但对于使用这些渠道的普通人来说,这可能只是追寻金融自由和机会的务实选择。
孙宇晨的政治人格:主权代理人的崛起
如果说波场TRON成为“无声多数”的金融主权载体,那么其创始人孙宇晨则高调地扮演起了加密世界的政治代理人。一直以来,加密圈华人创业者往往秉持“闷声发财、远离政治”的生存哲学,然孙宇晨选择了截然不同的道路:主动以政治为剧本,塑造个人和项目的话语权。
首先,他直接介入了美国的政治舆论场。2024年底以来,孙宇晨高调参与前总统川普推出的加密项目:斥资数千万美元认购“Trump系列”代币,成为该项目最大公开投资人之一reuters.com。2025年5月,孙宇晨作为头号持币者出席了川普在弗吉尼亚高尔夫俱乐部举办的私宴,与川普同台亮相reuters.com。他不仅以约1.85亿美元等值的钱包额度夺得饭局“竞标”第一名,还受邀成为川普家族加密平台 World Liberty Financial 的顾问reuters.com。这场引发争议的晚宴上,孙宇晨西装革履出镜,高调宣示其政治立场。巧合的是,就在饭局前后,美国证券交易委员会(SEC)突然宣布暂停此前对孙宇晨提起的证券欺诈诉讼,理由是“基于公共利益”reuters.com。这一戏剧性转折不禁令人生疑:孙宇晨深谙政治筹码运作之道,懂得借助美国权力更迭的契机为自己谋得一张“豁免令”。他在X平台(推特)上感慨对邀请心怀感激reuters.com——无形中传达出与未来政治盟友结盟的信号。
其次,孙宇晨积极布局中立主权地区,塑造自身的国际政治身份。他早在2019年即移居新加坡,将波场基金会设立于此,以避开中国大陆的监管高压。更令人瞩目的是,2021年底孙宇晨受聘出任加勒比海国家格林纳达驻世贸组织代表,正式踏入外交圈aljazeera.comaljazeera.com。身为一名加密创业者,却摇身一变成为“孙大使”,这在币圈乃至政坛都属破天荒之举。孙宇晨对媒体直言,加密行业发展到了需要主权国家和国际组织正视其潜力的阶段,他将致力于让区块链获得更多国家的认可aljazeera.com。他特别提到加勒比国家具有成为“下一个新加坡”的潜力:“加勒比国家离美国很近,但又不在美国,这非常关键。在美国境内你会陷入严苛监管和税收,而在加勒比,你可以避开这些桎梏。”aljazeera.com。这番话道出了孙宇晨战略的精髓——借助小国中立地带实现进可攻退可守的布局:既贴近美国这样的核心市场获取影响力,又保持独立主权豁免于其监管范围。
再次,孙宇晨还在国际舆论和文化象征上进行政治表态:例如高调竞拍知名艺术品、与名人互动、甚至不避讳与政治敏感人物(如特朗普阵营)同台。reuters.com川普在活动上直言“拜登政府迫害了加密创新者,我们要把他们带回美国”,孙宇晨的出现无疑为这一论调背书。在国内外社交媒体上,他乐于以“搞事者”形象示人,时而炮轰监管不公,时而与监管机构周旋谈判。从购买巴菲特午餐到押注川普NFT,从宣布波场成为多米尼加共和国官方公链到在洪都拉斯建立加密公司,他一再突破华人企业家避讳政治的传统藩篱,塑造出一个敢于同各国势力斡旋的主权代言人形象。市场也给予了正向反馈:在2023-2025这一轮震荡周期中,TRX价格和生态韧性远超许多竞争对手;波场不仅未被监管风暴击沉,反而因其政治押注而收获新增用户和资金青睐(USDT市值占比的提升即是一例finance.sina.com.cn)。孙宇晨个人也凭借外交官身份游走于各国高层,增强了项目背书的公信力。
与孙宇晨类似,币安创始人赵长鹏(CZ)也体现了“Crypto政治代理人”的影子。作为另一位华人加密巨头,CZ深知监管博弈的重要:币安从中国出发,几经辗转注册地于马耳他、开曼等地,近年来又与迪拜、阿布扎比等中东监管方建立良好关系。尽管币安在美国也受到诉讼挑战,但CZ本人频繁出席各国峰会、主动配合调查、游说政策制定者,其全球公关布局使 BNB 等币安生态资产始终享有一定溢价。可以说,孙宇晨和CZ代表的“华人币”之所以在风雨飘摇的市场中幸存并趋强,正是因为他们扮演了超越技术层面的政治角色:当绝大多数项目埋头编码或躲避监管时,他们选择直面政治、影响政治。
技术乌托邦的失语:ETH、SOL、XRP、ADA 的失速
将波场TRX和币安BNB的经历与其他主流链对照,更能突显“政治代理机制”的缺失所带来的代价。以太坊(ETH)、Solana(SOL)、瑞波(XRP)、Cardano(ADA)等项目,各有辉煌的技术远景或社区共识,却在本轮周期里不同程度陷入了失语和失速状态,一个重要原因正是缺乏有效的政治代理。
-
以太坊:作为智能合约的开创者,以太坊一直醉心于技术迭代和去中心化理想。然而,面对现实世界的监管压力,以太坊社区显得相对被动甚至天真。2021年后,美国制裁“Tornado Cash”等事件使以太坊网络一度出现矿工/验证者自我审查(OFAC合规)的现象,凸显出去中心化网络在政治压力下的脆弱。以太坊基金会和维塔利克等核心人物选择回避直接介入政治角力,试图以技术中立自守。但结果是,在稳定币领域,以太坊逐渐让出优势:USDT更多地流向了“不问来路”的波场,而USDC这种受美国监管严格的稳定币虽然依赖以太坊,却因为监管风险屡屡遭遇增发受限、黑名单冻结等情况。这使得以太坊在**“金融主权承载”**方面的话语权削弱。没有政治代理人替以太坊发声,其技术优势难以转化为对抗监管的筹码。相反,我们看到SEC在近期诉讼中对ETH网开一面(未将ETH列为证券),某种程度上是因其高度依赖美国企业(如Coinbase、Circle)的合规运营——这并非政治胜利,而更像被纳入现有规则体系的被动选择。
-
Solana、Cardano:这两条后起之秀公链,一个以极致性能著称,一个以学术范严谨著称。然而,他们在制度博弈上都缺乏存在感。2023年,美国SEC在对币安、Coinbase等交易所的诉讼中,点名将 SOL、ADA 等列为未经注册的证券,导致相关代币价格暴跌、机构退避cointelegraph.com。SOL和ADA团队自身并无强有力的政治资源予以反击:Solana团队更多精力放在修复网络停机和拓展应用上,对监管定性只能听天由命;Cardano的查尔斯·霍斯金森虽活跃社交媒体,但更多是科普技术和理念,对抗监管的实际影响力有限。当监管大棒挥下,这些专注技术的项目只能被动接受市场信心滑坡的现实。简言之,缺少政治代理等于缺少话语权——无论技术多优,没有人在权力场为你据理力争,你的话语权就只能拱手让人。
-
瑞波 XRP:作为对比,XRP的境遇更具讽刺意味。瑞波公司早早意识到监管的重要性,选择在美国走法律途径与SEC对簿公堂,试图以司法胜利换取地位合法。cointelegraph.com2023年中,瑞波在诉讼中部分胜诉,法院认定XRP本身不是证券,这看似是政治博弈的成果。然而,诉讼旷日持久耗费了瑞波数年的黄金发展期。期间XRP市场份额和舆论热度大不如前,新兴稳定币和跨境支付方案已趁虚而入。可以说,瑞波是少数走上前台直接对抗美国监管的项目,但孤军奋战终究力量有限:没有更广泛政治联盟支撑,胜利也难掩失地之痛。相比之下,孙宇晨选择的并非司法缠斗,而是迂回结盟,这种灵活的政治手腕或许更为有效。
归根结底,ETH、SOL、ADA 等在本轮周期的失速,提醒我们技术乌托邦需要现实政治护航。那些沉迷于宏大技术愿景却忽视政治策略的项目,往往在监管和资本博弈中败下阵来。反观TRX和BNB,一方面技术上并无颠覆性创新(波场VM几乎就是以太坊的变体,BNB Chain 也高度模仿以太架构),但却凭借政治上的主动赢得了市场认可——市值和生态逆势增长就是明证。
结论:主权表达的市场化工具
“从哈耶克到稳定币主权”,我们见证的是货币形态和政治形态的双重演进。哈耶克式的货币竞争思想在加密时代照进现实:私人发行的数字货币在与法定货币争夺稳定性和信任,而这一过程本质上就是主权的竞争与表达。加密货币从来都不仅是冷冰冰的技术产品,更是不断演化的主权表达的市场化工具。每一条公链、每一个代币,都在尝试承载某种主权意志:要么是传统国家主权的延伸(例如各国央行数字货币CBDC),要么是新兴数字共同体的自治主权,要么像USDT/波场这样,成为无国籍资本的影子主权。
TRX 的兴起充分说明,加密项目要取得长足发展,技术功能固然重要,但更关键的是充当“底层政治协调物”的能力。波场并没有因为VM设计优雅而胜出,而是因为它契合了特定政治经济环境下的市场需求:在强监管与资本外流并存的亚洲新兴市场,在美欧银行体系排斥的一角,波场提供了一个去中心化的政治避难所,让资本在不同主权之间自由穿行。aljazeera.com波场作为稳定币和博彩应用的主要载体,被贴上了“不受待见”的标签,但这正是另一种形式的民意表达。市场选择波场,并赋予TRX正溢价,正是对其他缺乏政治承载力项目的集体投票。
“Crypto 即政治”并非说技术不重要,而是强调技术的成败取决于其所嵌入的政治坐标。当ETH坚持代码法则时,TRX已经学会了在代码之上玩转权力棋局;当SOL醉心于极限TPS时,BNB已将自己融入全球离岸金融版图。展望未来,加密世界的竞争将更加赤裸地表现为主权影响力的竞争。谁能更好地平衡各方主权、充当不同利益的代理人,谁就能在市场中取得优势。这或许是加密运动发展至今给我们的最大的启示:去中心化的终点,并非消弭政治,而是重构政治。加密货币让更多人有机会参与主权的创造和表达,而TRX等“政治积极型”项目的案例则证明了,在市场的维度上,政治选择和市场选择早已融为一体。

2025-06-05 08:02:07A new investment vehicle combines exposure to Bitcoin with downside protection based on the price of gold.
On May 29, Cantor Fitzgerald Asset Management announced the launch of an investment product that merges direct exposure to Bitcoin with a bearish hedge linked to gold.
According to the financial institution, the new fund offers a solution for investors seeking to benefit from the growth potential of the leading cryptocurrency while maintaining a safety net tied to the precious metal.
Fund features
The fund is structured with a five-year term and no cap on potential upside, allowing investors to fully capture Bitcoin’s growth. The “1-to-1” protection mechanism means that any losses on Bitcoin would be offset by corresponding gains from gold.
Brandon Lutnick, Chairman of Cantor and son of former CEO Howard Lutnick (now Commerce Secretary in the Trump administration), called the product “a truly revolutionary investment vehicle” that helps investors access Bitcoin’s potential while providing downside protection. “There are still people on the Earth that are still scared of Bitcoin, and we want to bring them into this ecosystem,” Lutnick added.
The fund marks Cantor Fitzgerald’s first BTC-focused investment product. The firm, with 79 years of history and $14.8 billion in assets under management, is making its first significant move into the Bitcoin market.
The announcement follows the closing of its first round of financing agreements with Maple Finance and FalconX. Through its “Bitcoin Financing Business” division, Cantor plans to initially make up to $2 billion in financing available to institutional clients.

2025-06-05 05:45:02TRX 资源冻结式 Staking 与用户结构演化:对价格发现机制的影响分析
引言
TRX(波场币)作为波场 TRON 区块链的原生代币,因其独特的“冻结换资源”式 staking 模型而呈现出不同于传统公链的用户结构演变轨迹。这种机制在不同发展阶段吸引了截然不同类型的用户,从早期高度集中的机构持有者,到中期大量利用资源冻结套利的灰色产业,再到近期随着合规压力下资产向零散用户转移所形成的更广泛持有群体。本文将深入分析这一用户结构的演变历程,以及这种变化如何潜在影响 TRX 的市场价格发现机制。我们将按照时间脉络探讨以下问题:
-
初期设计:波场最初的 staking 模型如何偏向“对公场景”(如交易所间结算、机构资源调配),导致早期 TRX 资金和投票权集中度极高?
-
灰产利用:灰色产业(电信诈骗、网络赌博、地下钱庄等)如何利用 TRX “冻结换能量”机制降低 USDT 等稳定币转账成本,在波场上形成中期稳定的使用者群体?
-
用户下沉:随着各大交易所面临日益严格的合规压力,这些灰产地址如何将资金转移给“无交易所”通道的散户和小型平台账户,导致 TRX 使用权和持仓逐步向更广泛的普通用户渗透?
-
价格发现影响:这种持币结构的变化是否可能引导“零售价格发现”,即当大量散户持有 TRX 时,是否会对价格走势产生聚合影响(类似 GameStop 股票或 meme 币的散户抱团现象)?
-
链上数据演化:若数据支持,我们将呈现 TRX 持仓结构在链上的历史演变情况(如交易所热钱包占比、已知灰产地址占比、散户地址占比等),借助 Nansen、Lookonchain、Arkham、Dune 等分析工具的公开数据来说明上述趋势。
接下来,将从背景入手介绍波场 TRX 的 staking 机制设计及其早期影响,然后依据链上数据和行为证据分阶段分析用户结构转变,结合博弈论视角讨论价格发现机制,最后给出结论和展望。
背景:TRX 资源冻结型 Staking 模型与早期集中化
波场 TRON 于 2018 年主网上线,采用 委托权益证明(DPoS) 共识机制,其核心是 资源冻结(质押)换取网络资源和权益 的模式cryptorank.io。用户可以冻结一定数量的 TRX 以获取 带宽(用于普通交易)和 能量(用于智能合约操作)的配额,从而用资源抵扣交易手续费cryptorank.io。此外,冻结 TRX 还能获得 Tron Power(投票权),用于参与超级代表(Super Representatives,SR)节点的选举,从而分享出块奖励和投票奖励。这一机制本质上鼓励大量持币并长期冻结,以换取低成本交易和治理权。
TRX 早期的经济设计和应用场景明显偏向**“大户”和“机构”。首先,TRX 在 2017 年 ICO 分发时就有相当集中度——总发行1000亿枚中,约40%面向公开发售,15%私募,35%由项目方保留cryptorank.io。项目方(波场基金会)及早期投资人一开始就掌握了近一半的代币供应量。其次,在 DPoS 模式下,持币多者在投票治理中掌握更大权力,早期27个超级代表节点的投票由少数巨鲸地址主导。波场联合创始人、前 CTO 陈志强曾直言:“TRON 的代币分布是中心化的,超级代表是中心化的”cointelegraph.com;前27个超级代表节点拥有超过1.7亿票数,其中大部分受波场官方控制,普通散户的投票几乎无法左右结果cointelegraph.com。这意味着网络治理和出块权高度集中在项目方和早期大户手中**,staking 机制对中小持币者参与并不友好。这种局面导致 TRX 在生态早期呈现出明显的寡头格局。
更重要的是,波场团队有意将 TRX 打造成 高吞吐低成本的链上结算网络,这吸引了交易所和机构用户的青睐。2019年,创始人孙宇晨敏锐地抓住 交易所间稳定币跨链转账 的需求:由于以太坊网络手续费高、速度慢,交易所间结算 USDT 等稳定币成本很高,而波场上的 TRC20-USDT 转账费用极低、确认快theblockbeats.info。孙宇晨当即采取激进补贴策略,动用波场超级节点的挖矿收益,投入数亿元人民币补贴 TRC20-USDT 的充提手续费,在各大交易所间推广波场作为USDT转账的介质theblockbeats.info。据报道,当时通过波场网络充提 USDT 的用户可以享受相当于16%\~30%的收益(手续费返还优惠),极大刺激了交易所采用波场网络theblockbeats.info。这一系列措施使 TRC20版 USDT 的流通量和交易量在短时间内飙升,波场迅速取代以太坊成为 USDT 最主要的发行和转移平台。交易所和场外结算机构成为 TRX 生态的核心参与者:他们大量持有并冻结 TRX 来获取能量用于大额稳定币转账,或者直接利用波场网络进行跨所清算。这奠定了 TRX 早期资金和使用的高度机构化、集中化特征:头部交易所和项目方持仓占比极高,散户持有比例相对很低。
图:2024年初 TRX 持币分布的集中度。数据显示前10大地址合计持有约31.6%的供应量,前500大地址合计持有约85.5%的供应cryptorank.io。这印证了波场生态早期的持币高度集中在少数机构和巨鲸手中。
综上,波场 TRX 通过独特的冻结换资源机制,将手续费成本内化为持币收益,迎合了交易所、支付清算等对公场景对廉价高速链上转账的需求。在2018-2019年间,这一定位成功吸引了大量机构资金,但也造成了代币分布和治理权的高度集中。这是 TRX 用户结构演化的起点:以机构和巨鲸为主体的集中式持仓格局。
链上数据与行为层分析
随着波场网络逐步发展,TRX 的用户结构并未一成不变。链上数据和使用者行为表明,TRX 的持有者构成经历了从集中到扩散的动态演化,大致可划分为以下阶段:
初期阶段:机构主导的集中持仓
在主网上线后的早期(2018\~2019年),TRX 的持仓和使用主要集中在交易所、基金会等少数主体。从链上持币分布看,2019年时 TRX 前5个地址持有全网一半以上代币供应量,前10名地址接近60%(包括波场基金会及创始团队地址、少数大交易所的钱包等)cryptorank.io。即便到2025年中,集中度仍然较高——据统计前10大持币者仍合计拥有约25%的供应ccn.com,其中最大的单一地址占比超过8%ccn.com(推测为波场基金会或主要交易所冷钱包)。可见在初期,头部持有者在供应中占据主导。这种格局的形成,一方面源自前述代币分发和 DPoS 机制让项目方及早期投资人持有巨量筹码;另一方面,交易所为提供波场网络USDT充提现也大量囤积并冻结 TRX 获取带宽/能量,从而自身成为持币大户。
链上行为数据显示,交易所地址在 TRX 交易活动中占相当权重。大量 TRX 被冻结在交易所热/冷钱包用于日常为用户支付交易费用或资源租借。例如,币安在2019年直接成为波场超级代表节点之一,拥有全网超过一半以上的超级代表选票,当时就反映出交易所对 TRX 生态的深度介入coinmarketcap.comcointelegraph.com。总的来说,初期阶段 TRX 的用例主要是交易所间结算的媒介和赚取投票收益的质押资产,对应的用户主要是大宗资金持有者(交易所、基金会、早期投资人)。普通散户在这一阶段对 TRX 的参与度有限,无论持仓量还是交易笔数占比都很低。价格发现也主要由这些“大玩家”驱动——他们有能力通过场外交易或协议控制市场供给,从而较大程度上主导 TRX 的价格走向。
中期阶段:灰产经济的稳定使用者崛起
2019年至2021年后,随着波场网络的稳定运行和 USDT 等稳定币在波场上的广泛流通,一个意想不到的用户群体开始在 TRX 生态中扮演重要角色:灰产经济体。这里所指的灰产包括电信网络诈骗、网络赌博平台、地下钱庄洗钱团伙等非法或游走在法律灰色地带的组织。这些团体发现,波场的**“冻结 TRX 换能量”机制非常适合他们大规模、频繁地转移资金:通过持有并冻结一定量的 TRX,他们可以几乎免费地在波场链上无限次转账 USDT** 等代币linqihuishou.com。相比在以太坊等公链上高昂的 Gas 费用,波场提供的这种低成本转账渠道对灰产资金具有巨大吸引力。
联合国毒品和犯罪办公室(UNODC)的一份报告指出,在东南亚地区从事洗钱和诈骗的犯罪团伙偏好使用波场链上的 USDT 作为转移资产的工具dlnews.com。报告称,仅在截至2022年9月的一年间,就有逾170亿美元等值的 USDT 涉及非法交易所、地下洗钱等活动dlnews.comdlnews.com。波场因其匿名性强、转账快且成本近乎为零,成为这些团伙的“首选”网络dlnews.com。另一份调查也揭示,使用波场 USDT 的网络赌博和洗钱架构俨然形成了一个平行的地下银行系统protos.com。不法分子往往在国内收取现金,通过OTC渠道换成波场 USDT,在链上层层划转,最后在境外兑换回法币完成洗钱3e97756f-e20a-4497-8bc2-57f45e005c8a.baidu.scalaris-eci.com。
灰产大规模涌入波场带来了 TRX 生态的中期用户结构转变:虽然这些团伙的主要目的是利用 USDT 等稳定币,但为了降低成本他们必须持有一定数量的 TRX 来支付手续费或获取能量。这就意味着一批新的持币群体——灰产地址——开始稳定持有和使用 TRX。链上可以观察到许多可疑地址经常冻结大量 TRX,然后进行频繁的 USDT 转账操作。这些地址往往关联着诈骗资金、黑钱,通过分析工具已被标记为高风险。在波场交易笔数中,这些灰产相关地址的交易占有相当比例,它们维系着庞大的跨境资金流。dlnews.comprotos.com
值得注意的是,灰产用户的TRX持有行为具有“两面性”:一方面,他们持有 TRX 完全是出于工具用途,对 TRX 价格本身并不敏感,往往在完成资金转移后就会解冻并抛售 TRX(换回稳定币或法币)。因此,灰产用户的存在为 TRX 提供了持续的基础交易需求,但同时他们也可能对价格形成抛压。另一方面,由于这部分需求庞大且相对稳定(例如地下钱庄每天都有大额 USDT 要汇出),某种程度上托起了 TRX 的链上活跃度,甚至提高了网络的基础价值支撑。到2024年,波场上 USDT 的流通量已经超过以太坊,占到 USDT 总供应的一半以上cointelegraph.com;波场每日处理的稳定币转账金额高达数百亿美元,全球所有稳定币交易量中近30%通过波场网络完成coindesk.comcoindesk.com。在这些惊人的数字背后,灰产资金不可小觑。
综上,中期阶段 TRX 用户结构从单纯的机构主导,演变为**“机构+灰产”双重主导**格局。灰产经济成为 TRX 生态中隐形但重要的参与者,为 TRX 提供了源源不断的交易量和实用需求。然而,这种需求带有很强的功利性,在正常市场中往往难以转化为对 TRX 价格的主动支撑。
转型阶段:合规压力与持币群体下沉
进入2023-2024年,全球监管环境对加密行业(尤其是交易所)日趋严格,大型中心化交易所纷纷加强了 KYC/AML(反洗钱) 审查。这对利用交易所渠道“进出”资金的灰产团伙造成了沉重打击:大量涉嫌非法的地址被交易所列入黑名单冻结,稳定币发行方 Tether 也开始配合执法,冻结了部分波场网络上的可疑 USDT 账户cointelegraph.comcointelegraph.com。
图:由波场、Tether 与 TRM Labs 于2024年8月成立的“T3”金融犯罪联合行动小组,自成立以来已冻结超过1.26亿美元涉案 USDTcointelegraph.com。其中近一半涉及洗钱,另有相当比例涉及投资诈骗cointelegraph.com。这一行动反映出监管合规压力下,波场网络上大额非法资金池正受到打击。面对这种压力,灰产资金的流转模式开始转变。
随着“大额、集中”的灰产资金在主流交易所难以脱身,这些团伙被迫改变策略,更加依赖非交易所渠道来“出清”资金。他们开始将大宗资金拆分,通过场外交易(OTC)网络或小型换汇平台,转移给众多零散的个人地址。例如,一个诈骗团伙可能将上百万 USDT 分拆成上千笔小额转账,分别发给成百上千个个人钱包;这些个人再通过点对点方式把 USDT 换成现金。在中国等地破获的地下钱庄案件中,就发现犯罪团伙通过海量的个人数字钱包收款,以规避大额交易监控3e97756f-e20a-4497-8bc2-57f45e005c8a.baidu.scalaris-eci.com。波场网络的低费率使得**“大拆小”式的分散转账成为可能且经济**。
这一过程中,TRX 的使用者结构出现了**“下沉”**。原先主要由灰产团伙自己持有的 TRX(用于支付手续费或冻结换能量),现在逐步分散到大量普通用户手中。很多此前从未直接接触过波场的散户,因为参与OTC交易或接受灰产资金而开始持有少量 TRX。例如,一些东南亚地区的务工人员通过地下渠道汇款,在接收USDT时被要求使用波场网络的钱包,这意味着他们需要持有一点 TRX 来支付手续费。同样地,一些小型境外换汇商为了承接灰产的出金业务,也开始积累 TRX 以便快速完成批量转账。
链上数据支持了这种“去中心化”的趋势:CryptoQuant 的研究指出,截至2024年7月,波场网络上小额持有者(“散户”)的数量已经超过5260万,占据 USDT 转账笔数的28%左右newsdirect.com。也就是说,有数千万计的普通用户活跃在波场上进行小额交易。波场官方数据显示,到2025年初,总用户账户数已突破3亿,日活跃地址超过100万,每日小额稳定币交易数百万笔coindesk.comnewsdirect.com。这些数字表明,TRX 与波场网络的使用已深入到广泛的民间层面,不再只是大户的专属。
从持币结构看,虽然大户依然握有大量筹码,但相比早期,中小地址合计持有的比例有所上升。前文提到截至2025年5月前10名地址占供应约25%,而在更早时期这一数字一度超过30%cryptorank.ioccn.com。顶级持有者占比的下降意味着更多代币分散到了小持仓地址中。当然,大部分散户并非因为投资目的囤积 TRX,他们往往只持有满足转账所需的少量(比如几十个甚至几个 TRX用于手续费)。然而,当数以千万计的用户都持有哪怕少量 TRX 时,其总量也不可忽视。此外,一些原本为灰产服务的小平台、小型交易商,随着合规压力增加也可能选择转型,通过合法途径运营,这些玩家持有的 TRX 由“暗”转“明”,进一步增加了公开市场上的流通筹码。
**这一阶段的核心转变在于:TRX 的持有者基础变得空前广泛。**从链上身份看,除了交易所和已知灰产地址,普通散户地址在网络活动和持仓中的占比显著提高newsdirect.com。TRX 不再仅仅是机构间的结算工具或黑市的洗钱桥梁,它开始进入寻常用户的钱包,成为跨境汇款、支付和个人转账的一种选择。在非洲、中东等通货不稳定地区,波场 USDT 甚至被用作日常价值存储手段,TRX 则提供了必要的基础设施dlnews.com。这种下沉为 TRX 的市场生态带来了新的变量:当持币者从少数改为众多,价格发现的参与者结构也相应改变。
博弈模型讨论:散户崛起能否引导价格发现?
随着 TRX 持有和使用群体愈发多元化,一个关键问题浮出水面:如此广泛的散户参与,是否会改变 TRX 的价格发现机制,乃至引发类似 GameStop 或 meme 币那样的“散户聚合”行情? 从博弈论和市场微观结构角度,我们可以进行以下分析。
1. 定价权由大转小的再分配:在传统金融和早期加密市场中,少数大玩家(做市商、鲸鱼、机构)往往通过信息优势和资金优势主导价格。然而,当持仓分散到众多散户后,市场定价权力开始更平均地分配。如果散户群体足够活跃,他们的集体交易行为(买入或卖出)可以对价格产生显著影响。尤其在社交媒体发达的时代,散户可以通过舆论形成某种“共识预期”。例如,若大批散户相信“波场用户遍地开花将推高 TRX 价值”,他们可能趋于买入持有,从而真的推高价格——这类似于一种自证预期的动态。散户数量庞大且分散,单个看似微不足道,但**“乌合之众”在同步行动时可产生和巨鲸相媲美的资金量**。GameStop 股票之所以在2021年出现爆炸性逼空行情,就是因为数百万散户在网络论坛上形成合力,对抗华尔街空头。如果 TRX 的散户持有者也形成共同的看涨信念,可能出现交易行为的正反馈,推动价格快速上涨。
2. 网络效应与认知偏差:波场网络广泛的用户基础本身就会带来网络效应。每增加一位用户,TRX 的实用价值和潜在需求就略有提高。当数千万用户都在使用某个网络时,会产生一种“这么多人用,币价应该有支撑”的认知偏差。散户往往受“用户规模=价值”直觉影响而追涨。coindesk.comnewsdirect.com中的数据(每日超百万活跃地址、全球稳定币流通近三成经波场)可能被解读为 TRX 的基本面支撑,从而增强散户的持有信心。这种对基本面的再认知有别于灰产用户时期——灰产虽使用波场但不会宣扬其价值,而普通用户的使用反而可能转化为对 TRX 的口碑传播和正面情绪。由此,一个正向循环可能形成:用户基础扩大 → 市场认可度提高 → 新投资者涌入 → 价格上升 → 吸引更多用户。
3. 大户与散户的博弈:当然,散户行情能否持续,还取决于大户(早期鲸鱼、机构)的行为反应。一种可能情景是类似meme股/币:当散户推高价格时,大户出于逐利反而顺势助涨,甚至刻意制造舆论迎合散户,以便自己高位出货。如果 TRX 出现快速拉升,早期持有巨量筹码的老玩家可能选择逢高抛售套现,给上涨造成阻力。这一点在博弈上体现为:散户试图通过一致行动改变定价,但理性的大利润持有者会反向博弈,利用散户情绪行情实现盈利。TRX 目前前几大地址仍掌握巨额筹码,他们的抛压能力依旧很强。如果没有新的强力资金接盘,大户的出货可能使散户难以持续控盘。GameStop等案例中,散户成功逼空的前提之一是大户被困住无法立即抛售(空头被迫买入、公司高管锁仓等)。而在TRX市场,波场基金会、交易所等钱包并无锁定约束,完全可以利用流动性高点出售。因此,散户要引导价格发现,必须面对大户博弈的反作用力。
4. 市场情绪和触发事件:散户聚合行为往往需要一个导火索或叙事。GameStop有“对抗华尔街”的叙事,Dogecoin等meme币有马斯克等名人站台或者社区狂欢。TRX 虽有庞大用户,但缺乏类似的戏剧性话题来凝聚炒作热情。Justin Sun 虽然善于营销(如天价拍巴菲特午餐等),但这些年 TRX 价格相对稳健,没有出现过山车式暴涨暴跌,说明市场对其噱头相对理性。如果未来出现某个事件——例如波场生态中诞生一个现象级应用、或哪位投资大佬高调支持 TRX ——这可能点燃散户的想象力,触发一波情绪行情。在博弈模型上,这类似于公共知识的形成:散户需要确信“大家都会买”,而导火索事件恰恰提供了这样的公共信号。如果信号足够强烈,散户预期可协调,形成簇拥买入的纳什均衡。反之,在缺乏信号的平静环境中,散户各自为战,价格更多反映基本面与存量大户操作,不易自发聚合。
5. 零售价格发现的迹象:目前观察,TRX 市场已经显现出一些零售主导的特征。例如,2023-2024年熊市中,TRX 价格相对抗跌且波动率较低,或许与大量散户被动持币(用于手续费而非投机)有关——这部分需求相对刚性,不会因市场恐慌而大量抛售,反而稳定了价格。另一方面,在牛市来临时,这批散户是否会转为主动买入、推高价格,还有待验证。截至2025年年中,TRX 的市场走势总体平稳,CCN 分析指数给其势能评分仅34(满分100),显示动能偏弱ccn.com。这说明尚未出现 meme 式狂热,散户更多是被动参与者。但随着波场版稳定币生态的进一步扩张以及监管环境变化,不排除散户的角色从“被动用币者”转变为“主动投资者”。如果那一刻到来,TRX 的价格发现模式可能从当前偏基本面/机构驱动,转向更加依赖大众情绪和网络舆情。
综上,在博弈论视角下,TRX 用户结构的演变确实为零售价格发现创造了条件:更分散的持仓、更广泛的市场参与,使价格形成过程潜在地更具民主化色彩。然而,能否出现类似 GameStop 或 meme 币的极端行情,还取决于散户共识凝聚程度以及大户的策略反应。目前迹象表明 TRX 市场仍处于相对均衡状态,散户广布带来的更多是流动性提升和韧性增强,而非泡沫炒作。当然,市场结构一旦改变,其影响往往非线性——未来某个时点,不可忽视数以千万计散户的力量可能展现。
结论
TRX 代币由于其资源冻结式 staking 模式,在过去数年间经历了独特的用户结构演化:
-
早期,波场刻意迎合高频结算等对公场景,导致 TRX 持币和治理高度集中于项目方、交易所等少数机构账户,散户影响微乎其微。价格发现主要由这些大主体决定,市场呈现中心化特征。
-
中期,随着波场成为稳定币(尤其 USDT)的重要转移网络,各类灰色产业大量涌入利用“冻结换能量”降低转账成本。灰产地址成为 TRX 生态中不可忽视的稳定使用者群体,带来了巨大的链上交易量和实际需求。但这部分用户对 TRX 价格并无投机兴趣,其行为在提高网络实用性的同时,也给市场抛压埋下隐患。
-
近期,全球合规打击使得灰产资金从大交易所撤出,被迫通过无数散户和小型渠道分散流动。由此,TRX 的使用权和持有量开始向更广泛的人群下沉,数以千万计的普通用户卷入波场网络的使用。TRX 的持币结构正变得相对分散,散户在链上交易和持仓中的占比明显上升。
-
对价格发现的影响,可以概括为“基础盘扩大,定价权下放”。更广泛的用户基础意味着 TRX 价格受到的力量更加多元:除了少数大户博弈,还受到千千万万小持有者情绪和行为的影响。散户群体有可能在某些条件下形成合力影响价格(例如共同的看涨预期或外部刺激事件),这为 TRX 带来了出现零售驱动行情的可能性。然而,目前 TRX 市场尚未经历真正的散户抱团狂热,其价格依然相对平稳,说明机构和基本面因素仍占主导。
-
链上持仓结构演变总体符合上述趋势:从交易所/基金会占主导,逐步过渡到多元参与者并存。尽管确切的链上占比数据仍在完善(可借助 Nansen、Dune 等进一步分析交易所热钱包持仓、标记的诈骗地址持仓、非风险地址的小额持仓等),现有资料表明前十大地址持仓比例已从超过30%降至约25%,而小额地址数以亿计增长,对网络活动贡献巨大cryptorank.ionewsdirect.com。
综合而言,TRX 的资源冻结 staking 模式在不经意间促成了一条特殊的发展路径:从精英走向草根。这种用户结构的下沉为 TRX 带来了使用面的繁荣,同时也打开了价格发现的新篇章。未来,如果散户力量能够被某种契机调动,TRX 不排除出现类似meme行情的可能;即便没有极端事件,更多元的持仓结构也意味着价格将更真实地反映广泛市场的供需和预期。对于波场生态来说,如何平衡好“大户—灰产—散户”三类持币者的利益,将是决定 TRX 市值能走多远、走多稳的关键。波场的故事,正在从幕后走向台前,从少数走向大众,这或许正是去中心化精神的一种体现。

2025-06-05 03:09:02The Algorithmic Pursuit of Connection: A Five-Book Journey into the Self
As a researcher, hitting my thirties and the winding down of a significant project prompted a crucial re-evaluation of life's latter half. While I'd successfully applied probabilistic control theory to one-on-one interactions, the complexities of group dynamics remained a persistent challenge. My recent dive into five diverse books on human relationships inadvertently became a profound journey of self-discovery, fundamentally reshaping my perspective on social connections.
Neil Strauss: A Mirror Reflecting the Self's Evolution
Neil Strauss's The Truth resonated deepest among my recent reads. The author's battle with sex addiction uncomfortably mirrored my own past struggles: the fragile self-esteem stemming from rejection, the hubris born of early successes, and the tendency to view women as mere objects of manipulation. It felt eerily prescient, a glimpse into a potential future.
Yet, I found myself arriving at Strauss's ultimate conclusion – the paramount importance of self-preparation and community – far sooner than he did. This acceleration wasn't accidental; it was the result of intense focus on individual experiences, meticulously replayed and analyzed in my mind. The book, therefore, served less as a revelation and more as a powerful validation of my own journey of introspection and root-cause analysis.
Quantifying Connection: The Promise and Limits of Mathematical Models
Hannah Fry's The Mathematics of Love offered a kindred spirit in its attempt to quantify human relationships. While I appreciate the mathematical lens, Fry's models primarily concern dyadic relationships (N=2), relying on relatively simple systems of two-variable ordinary differential equations. For me, these are akin to linear models, sufficient only up to a certain point. Beyond N=4, the dependencies become exponentially complex.
My own pursuit extends to understanding and optimizing group dynamics within complex systems. This involves multi-variable problems (N $\ge$ 3) and the application of network theory, a far more sophisticated approach. Human collectives, after all, are systems of nodes and edges, where information propagates in predictable ways. My focus is on deriving optimal behavioral controls within these intricate frameworks.
Conversely, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus initially struck me as bordering on conspiracy theory. However, its latter half proved unexpectedly useful. Its clear enumeration of male and female desires, and its articulation of common points of conflict, presented a practical template for communication styles. In a systemic view, this serves as a rudimentary, yet functional, interface design for complex social interactions.
A Dispassionate Critique of Relationship Dogma
My drive for efficiency and systematic understanding led to a rather blunt assessment of certain relationship classics. The New Science of Adult Attachment felt disorganized and frustratingly anecdotal. Lacking a coherent theoretical framework, it burdened the reader with deciphering meaning from a jumble of examples. Its inefficiency was, frankly, its most irksome flaw.
Similarly, Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People struck me as closer to pseudoscience than social science. Its plethora of specific anecdotes obscured any underlying principle. Given my deep engagement with social engineering – a discipline that systematically and practically analyzes human interaction – Carnegie's work appeared largely irrelevant and inefficient. From my perspective, which views humans as objective systems to be analyzed with mathematical rigor, such unstructured approaches hold little value.
The Unveiling of a Core Principle: Humans as Systems
This intensive reading period solidified my most crucial insight: humans, at their core, are systems. This understanding allows for a dispassionate, methodical approach to human collectives, mitigating unnecessary emotional friction.
This revelation has sharply refined my future learning trajectory. I'm now prioritizing foundational theories like graph theory and network theory over anecdotal accounts of human behavior. By mastering these theoretical underpinnings, I aim to precisely model complex human interactions as systems of nodes and edges, enabling the derivation of optimal behavioral controls within communities.
My choice of the term "target for capture" for individuals stems from a personal aversion to perceived equality in certain human interactions, a mechanism to avoid cognitive dissonance. This rational approach, I believe, is key to cultivating secure attachment styles – relationships demonstrably sustainable in the long term. My philosophy is to strategically approach the initial engagement, then transition to a stable, enduring connection. It's a calculated, dispassionate method for achieving desired relational outcomes.
Ultimately, this period of reading wasn't just about acquiring knowledge; it was a profound journey of self-discovery, clarifying my personal frameworks for navigating life's complexities and forging meaningful, yet strategically managed, connections.

2025-06-05 03:02:03The Russian banking giant introduces financial instruments linked to Bitcoin for qualified investors.
Russia’s largest commercial banking institution, Sber, has made its entry into the Bitcoin space by unveiling a bond product tied to the asset.
Sber has officially launched its structured financial instrument that mirrors the price performance of Bitcoin alongside fluctuations in the dollar-ruble exchange rate. The product is already available to qualified investors through the over-the-counter (OTC) market, with plans to list it on the Moscow Exchange in the near future.
Formerly known as Sberbank, the institution stated in a May 30 announcement that the listing would provide transparency, liquidity, and convenience for a wide range of professional investors. This structured approach will allow investors to benefit both from Bitcoin’s appreciation in dollars and from the strengthening of the US dollar against the Russian ruble, the bank suggests.
The lender also announced plans to expand its crypto offering through the SberInvestments platform, introducing exchange-traded products that provide exposure to digital assets. The first product will be a Bitcoin futures instrument, scheduled for listing on June 4, coinciding with its official launch by the Moscow Exchange.
Sber’s initiative follows the authorization granted by Russia’s Central Bank on May 28, which permitted financial institutions to offer specific crypto-related financial instruments to accredited investors. However, the direct offering of cryptocurrencies remains prohibited.
Meanwhile, T-Bank (formerly Tinkoff Bank) launched an investment product linked to Bitcoin’s price, branding it a “smart asset” issued through Russia’s state-backed tokenization platform Atomyze.
According to the Russian Central Bank’s report for the first quarter of 2025, Russian residents hold approximately 827 billion rubles ($9.2 billion) in cryptocurrencies on centralized exchanges. Inflows into Russian crypto platforms surged by 51%, reaching 7.3 trillion rubles ($81.5 billion) over the same period.

2025-06-05 02:59:12Bitcoin Miners Pivot to Power AI Boom, Offering a Lifeline to America’s Data-Center Crunch
A fresh Morgan Stanley analysis warns that U.S. data-center demand will balloon to ≈65 GW between 2025 and 2028—about 45 GW more than the grid can currently supply. One solution the bank singles out: repurposing the oversized, transformer-fed campuses originally built for Bitcoin mining. (investopedia.com)
Several public miners are already moving. Riot Platforms has begun buying extra land near its Corsicana, TX complex and hired a veteran data-center executive to head a “high-performance compute” division aimed squarely at AI customers. (riotplatforms.com, coindesk.com) Bitfarms, meanwhile, is marketing North-American sites to hyperscalers after hiring consultants to evaluate GPU-ready retrofits. (reuters.com)
Industry analysts say the pivot is existential. April 2024’s fourth halving chopped block rewards to 3.125 BTC, shrinking miner revenue just as network difficulty hit record highs. By leasing idle megawatts—or fully converting halls—operators lock in dollar-denominated cash-flows while retaining the option to resume mining if margins rebound.
“Miners spent the last cycle amassing land, switchgear and transformers. AI is about to pay them for it.” —Greg Miller, Citizens JMP (research note quoted in multiple sector briefings)
Why it matters
- Grid relief: Every gigawatt shifted from speculative hashing to AI compute eases ERCOT’s peak-load stress and shortens transmission-upgrade timelines. (datacenterdynamics.com)
- Cap-ex savings for cloud firms: Retrofitting a mining hall is months faster—and currently 30-40 % cheaper—than green-field construction, analysts estimate. (govtech.com)
- Dual-revenue model: Miners keep upside to future BTC price spikes while monetizing power capacity today.
The roadblocks

2025-06-05 02:42:04ย้อนกลับไปเมื่อไม่กี่ปีที่ผ่านมา… มีบริษัทหน้าใหม่จากสหรัฐอเมริกาที่ชื่อไม่คุ้นหู แต่เสียงเงียบๆ ของมันดังไปถึงหูนักลงทุนรายใหญ่ระดับโลก ชื่อของมันคือ Motif FoodWorks
มันไม่ได้มาพร้อมคำสัญญาว่าจะเลี้ยงวัวด้วยดนตรีบำบัด แต่มาพร้อม “ความทะเยอทะยานทางวิทยาศาสตร์” ที่จะเปลี่ยนวิธีที่โลกกินไปตลอดกาล ไม่ใช่ด้วยรสมือคุณยาย แต่ด้วยสารเคมี วิศวกรรมชีวภาพ และเงินลงทุนที่แทบมองไม่เห็นก้นถุง
Motif FoodWorks ก่อตั้งในปี 2019 ในฐานะบริษัทลูกของ Ginkgo Bioworks ซึ่งเป็นบริษัทไบโอเทคชื่อดังจากบอสตัน วิสัยทัศน์ของ Motif คือการ “ออกแบบอาหารใหม่จากศูนย์” โดยไม่ต้องพึ่งพิงวัตถุดิบจากสัตว์เลย พวกเขาใช้เครื่องมือระดับห้องแล็บสร้างส่วนผสมใหม่ๆ เช่น… HEMAMI™ สารรส “อูมามิ” ที่ผลิตจากยีสต์ที่ถูกดัดแปลงพันธุกรรมให้สร้างโมเลกุล heme (แบบเดียวกับในเลือดสัตว์) APPETEX™ โปรตีนจากพืชที่ถูก “ทำให้เด้ง” เหมือนเนื้อสัตว์ ด้วยเทคนิคทางชีววิทยาโมเลกุล
มันคือการพยายามตอบคำถามว่า “จะทำอย่างไรให้ของที่ไม่ใช่เนื้อ…มีรสชาติเหมือนเนื้อ?”
เงินลงทุนรอบ Series A ของ Motif ทะลุ 200 ล้านดอลลาร์ภายในเวลาไม่กี่ปี ลงทุนโดยกองทุนสายเทคโนโลยีและ VC รายใหญ่ รวมถึงบริษัทผลิตอาหารรายใหญ่ระดับโลกที่เฮียคุ้นชื่อ แต่ที่น่าสนใจว่า ลูกค้ารายใหญ่ของ Motif กลับไม่ใช่ผู้บริโภคโดยตรง แต่เป็น บริษัทผลิตอาหาร “ทางเลือก” รายอื่นๆ ที่ต้องการสารปรุงแต่งใหม่ๆ เพื่อให้ผลิตภัณฑ์ให้ดูน่ากินขึ้น
ถ้า Impossible Foods คือร้านอาหาร Motif FoodWorks คือโรงงานผลิต “เครื่องปรุง” ที่จะทำให้ร้านอื่นๆ ทำอาหารเลียนแบบเนื้อได้อร่อยขึ้น มันคือ “เคมีแห่งความอร่อย” ที่ขายเป็น B2B ไม่ใช่ B2C ฟังดูแล้วเหมือนจะดีกับโลกไม่ต้องฆ่าสัตว์แต่ยังได้รสเนื้อ แต่คำถามคือ…
“ถ้าเราสร้างรสชาติที่เหมือนเนื้อจากยีสต์ดัดแปลงพันธุกรรม แล้วให้คนกินมันคือความก้าวหน้าทางวิทยาศาสตร์ หรือการทดลองที่ไม่มี IRB?”
Motif FoodWorks ใช้เทคโนโลยีเดียวกับหลายบริษัทในสาย Bioengineered Food เช่น CRISPR, precision fermentation, synthetic biology โดยเฉพาะ HEMAMI™ ที่หลายคนในวงการตั้งคำถามเรื่องความปลอดภัยระยะยาว และผลกระทบต่อ gut microbiome แม้จะผ่านการรับรอง GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) จาก FDA แต่ “ความปลอดภัย” กับ “ความเหมาะสม” มันเป็นคนละเรื่อง
การเปลี่ยนเนื้อให้เป็นสารสกัดการออกแบบรสชาติด้วยโมเลกุลมันคือแนวคิดเดียวกับที่ Ultra-Processed Food ใช้ในการสร้างน้ำอัดลมที่มี “กลิ่นมะนาว” โดยไม่มีมะนาวเลยแม้แต่นิด
Motif จึงไม่ต่างอะไรกับการ “รีแบรนด์ของให้ดูไฮเทค” หรืออีกนัยหนึ่งคือการเอาวิทยาศาสตร์ไปสร้างรสชาติ เพื่อให้ “ของที่ไม่ใช่” ดูเหมือน “ของที่ใช่”
และสิ่งนี้อาจเป็นอาวุธที่ทำให้มนุษย์ยิ่งห่างจาก real food แบบไม่รู้ตัว
การเกิดขึ้นของ Motif ไม่ใช่ความบังเอิญแต่มันคือชิ้นส่วนหนึ่งในเกมของ Big Food ที่กำลังพยายามออกแบบ “อาหารแห่งอนาคต” ไม่ใช่เพื่อสุขภาพ แต่เพื่อ ต้นทุน ความควบคุม และการขยายสิทธิ์ในทรัพย์สินทางปัญญา เพราะเมื่ออาหารถูกออกแบบด้วยสูตรที่จดสิทธิบัตร บริษัทจะสามารถเก็บค่าลิขสิทธิ์ได้ เหมือนที่ Microsoft เก็บเงินจากทุกเครื่องคอมพิวเตอร์ที่ลง Windows
แต่นั่นก็ไม่ใช่เรื่องแปลกใหม่อะไร เพราะเราก็ทำความรู้จัก future food มาด้วยกันพอสมควรแล้ว ประเด็นของ Motif นั้นมันทำให้เรารู้ว่า ในฝูงของนักล่า เขาไม่ได้แบ่งชิ้นเนื้อกันครับ การเป็นจ่าฝูงของนักล่า มันห้ำหั่นกันแบบเจ้าหมาป่ากันในแบบที่ สมันเหยื่อแบบพวกเรา รอวันโดนขย้ำเท่านั้น แล้วจะมาเล่าให้พรุ่งนี้ครับ
สำหรับวันนี้ ถ้าอยากเห็นสิ่งที่ Motif ทำไว้สามารถดูได้คลิปนี้ https://youtu.be/zZeRIVK6dDI?si=PYliM0v-9kj_sRE4 #pirateketo #กูต้องรู้มั๊ย #ม้วนหางสิลูก #siamstr

2025-06-05 02:01:32@matt_odell don't you even dare not ask about nostr!
— Kukks (Andrew Camilleri) (@MrKukks) May 18, 2021
Nostr first hit my radar spring 2021: created by fellow bitcoiner and friend, fiatjaf, and released to the world as free open source software. I was fortunate to be able to host a conversation with him on Citadel Dispatch in those early days, capturing that moment in history forever. Since then, the protocol has seen explosive viral organic growth as individuals around the world have contributed their time and energy to build out the protocol and the surrounding ecosystem due to the clear need for better communication tools.
nostr is to twitter as bitcoin is to paypal
As an intro to nostr, let us start with a metaphor:
twitter is paypal - a centralized platform plagued by censorship but has the benefit of established network effects
nostr is bitcoin - an open protocol that is censorship resistant and robust but requires an organic adoption phase
Nostr is an open communication protocol that can be used to send messages across a distributed set of relays in a censorship resistant and robust way.
- Anyone can run a relay.
- Anyone can interact with the protocol.
- Relays can choose which messages they want to relay.
- Users are identified by a simple public private key pair that they can generate themselves.Nostr is often compared to twitter since there are nostr clients that emulate twitter functionality and user interface but that is merely one application of the protocol. Nostr is so much more than a mere twitter competitor. Nostr clients and relays can transmit a wide variety of data and clients can choose how to display that information to users. The result is a revolution in communication with implications that are difficult for any of us to truly comprehend.
Similar to bitcoin, nostr is an open and permissionless protocol. No person, company, or government controls it. Anyone can iterate and build on top of nostr without permission. Together, bitcoin and nostr are incredibly complementary freedom tech tools: censorship resistant, permissionless, robust, and interoperable - money and speech protected by code and incentives, not laws.
As censorship throughout the world continues to escalate, freedom tech provides hope for individuals around the world who refuse to accept the status quo. This movement will succeed on the shoulders of those who choose to stand up and contribute. We will build our own path. A brighter path.

@ d9a329af:bef580d7
2025-06-04 23:38:53Shabbat Shalom, y'all.
At the time of writing and releasing this, it happened to be a Lunar Shabbat, which is actually Torah (much to the chagrin of those who practice Shabbat on a Saturday or Sunday exclusively). The Shabbat is always on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th days of a Hebrew Calendar month, which almost nobody follows anymore. I started doing this a few months ago, and it's made me see the Torah for what it really is.
To the topic at hand, though. A lot of people on Nostr don't seem to understand the historical narrative of the book of Revelation, which saddens me, as we're in the end times Ekklesia (Assembly) era of Laodecia.
Deception of Bible Translations
First off, the reason why most people trust their pastors and/or read differently to what I do in Nazaritic circles is because of translations of the Scriptures that are evil, wretched and Catholic. The best way to combat this is to make some recommendations of which versions you'll want to use that aren't Catholic-infested.
These are the ONLY recommended versions to read. Anythine else is bupkus, evil and garbage, and will teach you futrism or preterism, both of which are Jesuit-penned deceptions.
The recommended versions are as follows: - KJV 1611 (KJV1611) - 1560/1590 Geneva (GNV) - American King James 1901 (AKJV) - J.P. Green Sr.'s King James Version (KJ3) - Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
These are versions I've read, and determined are evil, wretched and garbage: - New International Version (NIV) [Fun fact: The publisher of the NIV, Zondervan, has a sister publisher that is behind the Satanic Bible's publishing] - New Living Translation (NLT) - English Standard Version (ESV) - ISR The Scriptures 2009 Third Edition with Minor Revisions [2016] (ISR2009) - New American Standard Bible (NASB) - New King James Version (NKJV)
What is the Laodecia Era for the Ekklesia?
As a refresher, this time sees people saying they're rich in truth and that they have need of nothing, but this shows that they're wretched, miserable, naked and wicked. Why is this? The need of nothing points to not needing another explanation other than the false futuristic viewpoint, whereas being rich is connected to already knowing the truth about the historical fulfillment of Revelation, which many people don't know at all. I seriously grieve their loss, for they know not what they do.
I'm also new into this viewpoint, and most of what I'll be talking about is proven by historicist prophet David Nikao Wilcoxson on YouTube and Facebook (I don't use Facebook). This single Nostr article, I pray, is the starting point for understanding why I call out what I call out, and the patterns I see pointing to the Roman Catholic Church (the Tares) and the Jesuit Order (the current rulers of our world, the Earth Beast of Rev. 13) being the harlots that will be plucked out before Messiah's return.
The 70th Week of Daniel
Let us start first with the 70th Week of Daniel, which futurists believe is pointed towards a 7 year period where a one-man antichrist makes a peace deal for Israel.
This was proven to be untrue, as this is a deception that many people have fallen for, thus obeying the Pope (the Mark of the Beast on the right hand). What Daniel was talking about was not the end times, but rather, two-fold. The first is that he was asking about when Yevah would free the Jews from slavery (since they were in the Babylonian Beast Kingdom at this time). The second is when Messiah would come in the flesh and start a 7 year period from 27-34 AD, which is the final 7 year period of this 490 year cycle. King Artaxerxes I would go ahead and call for the rebuilding of Jerusalem in 476 BC (as is seen in Ezra), which would be the first 7 weeks (the first 7 Shemita [Shabbat year] cycles). Afterwords, we would see another 62 weeks (this period is a slient period), and then another period of 1 week. This week points to Messiah's ministry and death.
3 1/2 years into this 70th week (in 31 AD) is when Messiah would be nailed to the cross on March 13 of 31 AD (I'm still debating if the cross is a symbol of Tammuz or not). This was Passover in the Hebrew calendar year of 3790. He was 33 years of age when he was nailed, and then rose again 3 days later (on the 16th of Nisan in 3790). That Passover fell on a Monday (when the Romans were using the 8-day calendar instead of the 7-day calendar we've essentially been forced to use).
To prove the above, Wilcoxson had produced a series of videos regarding the 70th Week of Daniel (that being the 70th Week of Daniel Decoded series), which I would recommend you watch. You'll also want to find an audiobook version of Seventy Weeks: The Historical Alternative produced by Tearing Down Idols. These are the two pieces of proof I have to show this. Speaking of Wilcoxson, he had already produced books on these matters, as understanding the hostorical narrative of the Scriptures is the key to making war with the Roman Catholic Church and the Jesuit Order, especially now that we're in Laodecia.
The Olivet Discourse
The second part of this trifecta has to do with the Olivet Discourse of Matthew 23, which points to the destruction of Jarusalem by Rome for Israel's unfaithfulness to Yevah's instructions. Now, there are connections to parables that basically talk about the Yewish (Yew as in Yewtree worship) leaders (particulaly the Pharisees and Saducees) practicing the Tradition of the Elders (which are the Babylonian Talmud and the Egyptian Kabbalah of today), and for not understanding that this was Messiah, they were destroyed for their iniquities. I don't care to research the futurist narrative on this, as I know it is full of twisted words and word salad sorcery.
Wilcoxson proves what I've said in the Olivet Discourse Decoded series of videos, so that's where I'll point you to when you have an open heart, open eyes and open ears. Many futurists won't, because they are exactly what Messiah described in the Ekklesia era of Laodecia.
Revelation and Its Prophecies
Finally, there's Revelation (what used to be called Apocalypse). When looking into this book, you realize that it's really a 4-layered war manual for how to fight this war against the Roman Catholic leadership and the Jesuit Order. This also shows how you can harvest souls (the harvest points to a mass exodus of Roman Catholicism membership). This I will go in depth on, and will even have passages to back this up.
Layer 1: The Roman Beast Kingdom
The first layer of this 4-layered manual shows the phases of the Roman Empire, which never really disappeared. Rev. 12 described the Roman Empire, which was used to wipe out the early Ekklesia (the woman), murdering millions of Nazarites. The Seals point to the incline (for the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse) and decline of the Roman Empire (the other three Seals), while the Trumpets point to the official Roman Empire's downfall. This would be split into 10 separate kingdoms in Europe, which would be countered by the creation of Christianity, which is really any of the 44k+ forks of Roman Catholicism. This was done to destroy the Ekklesia, as the Roman Catholic Church is the Tare field that Messiah had talked about in the parable of the Wheat and the Tares.
Staying in this layer, the Sea Beast is the next phase. This is the 1,260-year reign of the Pope (538-1798), as he was the one who plucked out 3 kingdoms who didn't bow to his authority (the Heruli, the Huns and the Ostrigoths). Keep in mind that this started after the removal of the restrainer in 476 (pointing to the removal of the final Western Roman Emperor), and healed the deadly head wound (pointing to the Pope rising to power out of a sea of people). During this reign, he took the title of Pontifex Maximus, as he had civic and ecclesiastical power over everyone. This would be the healing of the deadly head wound, as shown earlier in this beast. He would pretend to be the leader of the Ekklesia, thus sitting in the Temple of Yevah, though he's the son of perdition, as he proclaims to be Yevah, forgive sins and provide salvation through works alone, which is blasephemous to begin with. The persecution of the Nazarites also prove them to be anti-Moshiach (Messiah). They also have the title of Vicar of Christ, which in the Latin is Vicarus Filii Dei, which is equal to 666 when calculated using a form of gematria I have no idea about. He would ultimately be removed from power by the Earth Beast in 1798, after he basically limited the power of the Jesuit Superior General and his minions. As stated before, the Mark of the Beast is reverence (forehead) and obeisance (right hand) to the Pope.
Finally, the Earth Beast of Revelation 13 points to the Jesuit Superior Geneal rising out of the earth (which is the land) of the Antichrist Beast Pope, the Vatican. These two horns pretend to serve Messiah (lamb) but are really Lucifarians (the dragon), serving Lucifer. The Black Pope, as the Jesuit Superior General is called, used his power to gether the world under him. That's why he uses Washington D.C. (the District of the Roman goddess, Columbia), his war machine (Military Indurstial Complex), to overthrow leaders who won't bow to his authority and those who won't set up a Rothschild central bank; much less obey the Khazars, who he also controls (I happened to be a partial German Khazar who escaped the grasp of the Black Pope as best as I know thus far).
Layer 2: The Ekklesia Eras
Now comes the eras of the Ekklesia. There are seven of them, though I've already explained the era of Laodecia. How about I give a quick explanation of the first six eras, like so?
Ephesus would spread the gospel in the Roman Empire, with their love growing cold when Messiah didn't return.
Smyrna had 10 years of persecutions from 303-312, which is what the 5th seal points to.
Pergamos would fall away (2 Thess. 2) from the Scriptures when compromising with Rome (Mark of the Beast as I had explained)
Thyatira means ruled by a woman. This means, the Roman Catholic Church would do this, as the Popes sought to eliminate the two witnesses, which are the Nazarites and the printed Scriptures (the little book or Rev. 10). This was why they killed the Nazarites and bured the printed Scriptures ruthlessly enough, that they were classified as "dead" in 1514. The Popes would hold great feasts to celebrate the removal of the two witnesses after they got all of Christendom under their control.
Sardis means escaping one, which points to Messiah calling them dead after 3 1/2 years from the Pope's classification of the death of the two witnesses. Luther's 95 Thesis sparked the Protestant Reformation, which would lead to the resurrection of the two witnesses (the Nazarites and the printed Scriptures).
Philidelphia had nothing bad that Messiah said about them... at all. They led worldwide missions, and also led Bible Societies to spread the word and/or the gospel to save millions of people from the clutches of the Jesuit Superior General (and the Roman Catholic Church as a whole).
As a refresher for Laodecia (the era we're in right now), the Nazarites here believe that they are rich in truth, and that we have need of nothing. This is false, as we are in dire need of something, which is an alternative explanation that's not the false futuristic or preteristic explanations of the book of Revelation. We are blinded by the Jesuits, as they have decieved us (we let them do this, by the way) with false prophecy explanations among other deceptions.
Layer 3: Seals, Trumpets and Bowls
The Seals, Trumpets and Bowls are the judgements against the Roman Beast Kingdom. To keep things short, every single Seal was fulfilled, 6 of the Trumpets were fulfilled, and 5 of the Bowls were fulfilled. We're in the 6th Bowl, waiting for a global economic collapse and WW III. Once these occur, then do we go into the 7th Bowl judgement against the Roman Catholic Church and the Jesuit Order (the New World Order).
One quick thing I'll mention is that when I talk about the two witnesses here, one of them is the little book of Rev. 10. This points to the printed Bible, which was brought back to life thanks to the printing press. Martin Luther would measure the temple and find that the Papal Church is the apostate harlot. Rev. 14 points to the Bowls and the harvest. This harvest points to millions coming out of the Roman Catholic Church, though there are 1.3 billion Catholics... and we have a long way to go in getting them out of her, My people.
Remember when I talked about the Khazars earlier in this article? They are the Kings of the East that Yeshua pointed to in the 6th Bowl. The Ottoman Empire is the Euphrates River here, and it's dried up in 1922, only with Turkey remaining. Gog is already dead, as that's Lord Rothschild. Magog points to the Kings of the East. 2 of the 3 spirits have already been fulfilled (these are World Wars I and II).
Now, let me quickly point out the fact we're in the kingdom of Iron and Clay. The Iron points to the Roman Bishops, and the Clay is Islam. However, furutists will tell me I'm an idiot, and that the Iron and Clay mixture is transhumanism. This was proven to be false, as the 5th Trumpet was the rise of the Clay (Islam). The Catholics, however, wrote the Qur'an and proped up Mohhamed as their prophet. ISIS and Al Qaeda are controlled by the Jesuit Order, which is why they do what they do as terrorists... for they are Wahhabi Muslims (in other words, Mizrahi Khazars who are also Jesuits, claiming to be Arabs, when they're not).
Islam is designed to prevent Arabs from having a relationship with Messiah, which makes me really sad. Muslims will be used to kill Christians and Jews in WW III and force us into the New World Order, which will backfire on the Jesuits and Roman Bishops.
Layer 4: The Harlot Church
Rev 17:10 talks about 7 forms of government. Five had fallen by the time Revelation was written, the 6th (the Roman Emperors) fell in 476, and the 7th lead for a short space until 538.
The 8th head is the Pope, who rose to power out of the Roman Empire. Look up what the priests in the Catholic Church wear, and what they use. Does that sound familiar when you read Revelation? If it does, that's exactly the description of the Sea Beast, and how his priests dress and do their rituals.
Then comes the Black Pope. He empowers and enriches the kings of the earth, as they were used by Lucifer to carry out the Bowl judgements, and will carry out the New World Order, caugins themselves and the Roman Cathoic Church to be judged big time. This we are waiting for.
Conclusion
Hopefully this long read helps you see where I'm coming from, and I pray it helps you to start testing the scriptures against what I've said, and what Wilcoxson had said. If it is proven in your heart that you were fooled, you're on the right path in my opnion. I may be wrong, but this is where I stand.

2025-06-05 06:01:31Bitmain’s new device raises the bar for energy efficiency.
During the World Digital Mining Summit, Bitmain introduced its latest bitcoin mining device: the Antminer S23 Hydro. The new miner promises an energy efficiency of 9.5 joules per terahash (J/TH), setting new industry standards.
ANTMINER S23 Hyd. Newly Launched at WDMS 2025!
580T 9.5J/T
Sales Start from May 28th, 9:00AM (EST)
Shipping from Q1, 2026 pic.twitter.com/Kg3VJTt7Rg— BITMAIN (@BITMAINtech) May 27, 2025
According to Bitmain’s presentation, the Antminer S23 Hydro delivers up to 580 TH/s with a power consumption of 5,510 watts.
Scheduled for release in early 2026, the Antminer S23 Hydro marks a major leap forward compared to the first ASIC devices dedicated to mining. To put it in perspective, the first specialized miners launched in 2013 consumed around 1,200 J/TH. Bitmain’s latest device therefore represents a more than 99% improvement in efficiency.
Hashprice and economic challenges
In recent months, the hashprice — the metric measuring mining profitability — has remained relatively low, dropping below $39 per petahash per second during the year. As of now, the hashprice stands at around $55 per petahash per second, according to data from Hashrate Index.
This scenario has pushed several companies in the sector to rethink their expansion strategies. Instead of increasing hashing capacity, many are choosing to upgrade their existing fleets, focusing on efficiency rather than sheer scale.
The introduction of the Antminer S23 Hydro could catalyze a transformation within the mining ecosystem. The gradual replacement of outdated devices with more efficient technology could lead to a significant reduction in the Bitcoin network’s overall energy consumption.

2025-06-04 23:21:10Abstract. A purely digital version of a constitutional republic allows individuals worldwide to protect and exchange their private property without the need for state intervention or banks. Cryptography, proof of work, and difficulty adjustment provide part of the solution, but the main benefits come from the division of power and a worldwide network of nodes. Bitcoin solves the problem of trusting legislators and judges that can corrupt the law by letting anyone in the world be a judge and make sure the rules of the constitution are being followed. As long as there are honest nodes somewhere, the integrity of the network will be maintained; there’s no chance of buying or shutting down the judges. The requirements to be part of this republic are minimal: an internet connection, the capacity to keep a secret, and a device to make transactions.
Republic vs democracy
Numerous books elucidate the history and evolution of money, enabling a broader understanding of this ancient technology than ever before, including why Bitcoin is the ideal money. Bitcoin is revolutionary because it provides a new way of protecting and exchanging private property without the need of governments or banks, and I will make the case for why it is also the perfect constitutional republic.
A constitutional republic is a system of government in which the people hold sovereign power over the government and elect representatives who exercise that power. The sovereignty is held by the people, and the laws are written in the constitution to limit the actions of the elected officials running the government.
In contrast to a pure democracy, where a ‘collective’ community wields the sovereign power of the government to rule, and with a 51% agreement they can modify the constitution and slave the other 49%.
Some people still have the view that the Bitcoin protocol is like a democracy and miners are some kind of voters and if they have 51% of the hashing power they can change the rules of the network. But if the blocksize wars (2015-2017) taught us something is that this is not the case. Bitcoin is like a republic that needs total consensus from the nodes to change its constitution.
The only article I found making this case for Bitcoin was: The Republic of Bitcoin by Adam Ierymenko published on July 18, 2014. https://medium.com/@adamierymenko/the-republic-of-bitcoin-624f7639b2a5
Here’s my highlight from it:
I would argue that Bitcoin is a de-facto and unofficial republic, not a pure democracy* and not completely decentralized. The largest miners, most active members of the various Bitcoin forums, and the maintainers of the main Bitcoin code tree constitute a set of representative governors that can wield tremendous power over the network. Yet this power is checked by Bitcoin’s overall user base. *
Why do democracies fail?
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of Government. It can exist only until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess out of the public treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the results that Democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy, always to be followed by a Dictatorship. (Written by Professor Alexander Fraser Tytler, nearly two centuries ago while our thirteen original states were still colonies of Great Britain. At the time he was writing of the decline and fall of the Athenian Republic over two thousands years before).
Did I say “republic”? By God, yes, I said “republic”! Long live the glorious Republic of the United States of America. Damn democracy. It is a fraudulent term used, often by ignorant persons but no less often by intellectual fakers, to describe an infamous mixture of socialism, miscegenation, graft, confiscation of property and denial of personal rights to individuals whose virtuous principles make them offensive. (Westbrook Pegler: New York Journal American, January 25th and 26th, 1951, under the titles- Upholds Republic of U.S Against Phony Democracy, Democracy in the U.S. Branded Meaningless)
The fall of great Republics follows a pattern, and the root cause is the abandoning of the original rules upon which the republic was founded to adopt a democracy. Once democracy is adopted, it gradually adopts socialism, dictatorships, and communism until it collapses under its own weight. This cycle takes many generations.
Unfortunately, we have abandoned our Republican forms of government by gradually modifying our constitution and by adopting unconstitutional central banks and fiat currencies: a legal fiction of money, a.k.a fake money designed to lose value over time.
It’s our responsibility to understand how our government’s have failed us, why and what we can do about it. This is an ancient problem but we have before our eyes a window of opportunity to be part of history, thanks to Bitcoin. Because **where our republics failed Bitcoin is winning! **
"The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." said Plato in The Republic more than two and a half millennia ago and this is exactly where we are now. We can complain on the internet and point our fingers outside or we can take personal responsibility and do something about it.
From a young age we we are taught to be proud of our democratic systems and the equality it brings, but even the most enlightened and genius men of the past warned us of how dangerous this system of government is: "Dictatorship naturally arises out of democracy*, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and oppression comes from that source." Plato, The Republic. “Democracy is when the indigent and not the men of property are the rulers” Aristotele . *
In the last century our constitutions were modified and our republican governments were replaced by mob rule democracies. This system was used to turn the government into tax farm corporations for and by their creditors: the international banks. This parasitic group extracts economic value without providing equal compensation for our labor the same way it did before the colonies won their independence. Our republics were returned to their colonial status thanks to democratic governments. While the system works for a few, it is failing for the majority.
Before Bitcoin, we had to play within this system to improve our economic situation; a complete opt-out was not possible. The minimum interaction with the public infrastructure and banks comes with contractual liabilities, obligations, and hidden costs. These hidden costs range from artificial inflation to fees, colonial taxes, time delays, banking holidays, increasing bureaucracy, and the need to obtain permissions, approvals, and licenses.
In republics like the United States of America (1788) and Argentina (1853), our constitutions were explicitly written to avoid all of these evils. With some differences in their foundational laws and distribution of central and regional authorities but with the same goals; escape the colonial tax farm and unfair rules, protecting the individual rights such as: freedom over commerce, private property and equality under the law.
The American Revolution
The revolutionary war was fought to free the American colonies from the rule of the British monarchy, their oppressive and restrictive laws, colonial taxes and corrupt monetary system. The Constitutional Republic form of government was chosen to self govern the new Nation.
Other’s colonies like Argentina, ruled by the Spanish monarchy in this case, followed this same path and chose the same form of government to reclaim the power to be self-governed and protect economic freedom, because they understood there’s no human rights if you cannot freely enjoy the fruits of your labour and protect individual property.
The American colonies declared their independence from the tyrannical British monarchy in 1776 because they were done with the abuses of power, the intervention in commerce, the taxation without representation, their unfair monetary system of the Bank Of England, and the deprivation of trial by jury.
They wrote the document and declared their autonomy as independent states:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed—that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Declaration of Independence July 4, 1776
The founding fathers were brave and smart; they pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor, believing that Providence wanted men to be free. Many of them lost their lives to give us the best form of government known by men: a constitutional republic.
Autocracy declares the divine right of kings; its superiority cannot be questioned; its powers are arbitrarily or unjustly administered. Democracy is the “direct” rule of the people and has been repeatedly tried without success. Our constitutional fathers, familiar with the strength and weakness of both autocracy and democracy, with fixed principles definitely in mind, defined a representative republican form of government. They made a very marked distinction between a republic and a democracy and said repeatedly and emphatically they had funded a republic.
Training manual War Department Washington D.C,1928.
Under this form of government the constitution is the supreme law of the land. This document established the principles upon which the nation is funded and provides a structure of government to ensure and protect these principles. It defines its roles and responsibilities in order to protect individual’s rights and justice, dividing the power into: executive, legislative and judiciary bodies to prevent the centralization and abuses of power.
Under a constitutional Republic no men rule over other men, we are all equal under the law. The main goals of these constitutional republics is to ensure that no single person or group can hold absolute power over the rest of the population. Our ancestors inherit this form of government, but it takes vigilance and responsibility to maintain it.
2. The problem: Democracy, central banks and fiat currencies
Unfortunately, all of these protections given by our constitutions were lost or heavily degraded, especially private property because of popular democracy, central banks and fiat currencies, all of them contrary to the original principles of our republican governments.
Our constitutional republics were replaced by mob rule democracies during the first third of the XX century, inverting the role of the government from being a ‘protector of rights’ to a ‘violator of rights’ pushing for socialist, communist, and tyrannical laws. The government transitioned from safeguarding individual liberties to imposing the "will of the majority" and **substituting rights with privileges and licenses. **
*Central banks and income taxes are parasitic communist devices specifically designed to extract wealth from the majority and to prevent economic freedom. *
What was needed was alternative rails to commerce freely adapted to the times we are living in: completely digital and protected with military-grade cryptography, to trade without the need to go through archaic and corrupt financial institutions or governments. Bitcoin is a system of government that prioritizes minimal governance. The system is secure as long as participants are using the original protocol or participating in the original constitution and not weak and insecure copies.
From being a government controlled by people that do not ask for permission to a government that controls the people who have to ask for permission. This was, of course, thanks to the many wars, panics, and artificial chaos generated by those willing to expand their already enormous power: international bankers. This group is actively working to push tyranny on a global scale through mass surveillance, digital IDs, and a cashless society. Democracies are facilitating this agenda. Plato said in The Republic that "Tyranny naturally arises out of democracy”.
The strength of the Republic comes from its constitution, this document is worthless if legislators and citizens do not enforce and follow the original principles, letting new laws invalidate the original ones.
In less than two generations since the Argentine Republic adopted the libertarian constitution of 1853 it became one of the wealthiest nations in the world surpassing many Western European countries like Italy, Spain and Portugal.
Juan Bautista Alberdi (1810-1884) was a lawyer, politician, economist and the intellectual author of the Argentine Constitution of 1853. The main goals of this constitution were:
-
Abolish slavery
-
Protect private property rights
-
Provide equality under the law (no licences or nobility titles)
-
Get rid of colonial taxes
-
Free the markets from state intervention
“Simple taxpayers or colonists, for three centuries, we are to this day the work of this antecedent, which has more power than our written constitutions. After being machines of the Spanish taxman, we have become machines of the national taxman: that is the difference. After being colonists of Spain, we have become colonists of our national governments: always fiscal states, always servile revenue machines, which never arrive, because misery and backwardness can never yield anything” (...)
But in economics, more than in any other field, it is nothing to enshrine the principle; what matters most, what is most difficult, is to put it into practice. A regime is not annihilated by a decree, even if it is constitutional, but by the slow action of a new one, whose creation costs the same time it took to form the bad one, and many times more, because to destroy and forget is another previous work.
The modern regime is in our hearts, but the colonial one is in our habits, which are usually more powerful than the abstract desire for the best.
That is precisely why the Argentine Constitution has made its economic system the faction that distinguishes it and places it above all the republican constitutions of South America.
Indeed, all the economic liberties of the Constitution may be annulled and reduced to gilded disappointments, by merely leaving standing a large part of our old economic laws, and enacting new ones which, instead of being in conformity with the new principles, are in conformity with our old rent-seeking and fiscal habits, ordinarily stronger than our principles.
Outside the Constitution there does not exist, nor can there be, nor should there be, any law that in any way is not regulatory of the private and public principles, rights and guarantees that the Constitution establishes as the fundamental basis of all law in the Republic.
There is, therefore, a stumbling block to which the beautiful system of the Argentine Constitution may succumb, if it is not taken into account by the legislator who must regulate the execution of the new system in its relations with the production of national wealth.
Up to this point, the worst enemy of the country's wealth has been the wealth of the tax collector. We owe to the old colonial regime the legacy of this fundamental error of its Spanish economy. ***We are countries of fiscal complexion, peoples organized to produce real incomes. ***
I repeat that I speak of economic liberty; and as much as of my country of all South America on this point, - It matters, above all, to keep always in view the danger of annulling each and every economic liberty in the Constitution by laws regulating its exercise.
In republics like the United States of America and Argentina, the constitutional systems were designed to promote fairness, accountability, and the protection of individual rights by dividing power among multiple branches of government (legislative, executive, and judicial) and levels of governance (federal, state, and municipal).
This division of powers establishes a balance between centralization and decentralization to ensure that no single entity can hold absolute power over the rest of the population.
Benjamin Franklin told us, "We have given you a republic—if you can keep it." History is proof that we haven’t kept it; in fact, we have replaced it with democracy, the worst form of government. Such blame primarily falls on the shoulders of the "elected officials," who are typically lawyers acting as legislators and judges. However, 'We The People' also bear responsibility for our lack of vigilance. “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance” said Thomas Jefferson, the principal author of the Declaration of Independence and the third president of the United States of America from 1801 to 1809.
“If you do not take interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools,” said Socrates more than two thousands years ago. And "The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." said Plato in The Republic.
**The time lawyers start manipulating the laws, ignoring the constitutional principles, the spirit of the constitution is abandoned, and all the evils reappear: infiltration, inflation, and corruption. **
Unfortunately, we have abandoned our republican forms of government by gradually modifying our constitution and by adopting parasitic central banks. Money was replaced by worthless currency, and common law was replaced by codified law, increasing bureaucracy, state intervention, costs, and the opposite of justice.
In the U.S., these events happened between 1913, when the Federal Reserve was created, and 1933, when the gold standard, common law, and the republican form of government were totally abandoned.
By 1913 Argentina was the 4th wealthiest nation on earth, and it owed its success to its libertarian constitution that guaranteed economic freedom. Unfortunately Argentina stopped using gold in 1929, the central bank was installed in 1935, and the constitution was heavily modified in 1949, introducing universal suffrage and adopting socialism. This was the beginning of the end of the “Argentine Republic”.
We have freedom written down in our constitutions but we are again living under a colonial system in economic terms because of **central banks, fiat currencies and taxes. **
Routine and hereditary ignorance in economic matters are the cause of this transmigration of the colonial system into the republican system. Inherited customs, beliefs and concerns are more powerful than written laws and accepted opinions. Juan Bautista Alberdi.
The sixth president of the United States, John Quincy Adams (1825-1829), warned: "The central bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the principles and form of our Constitution." And also “There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt."
**3. The reaction: debt slavery **
Since our liberators won their freedoms with the sword, we lost them by contracting fraudulent debt publicly and privately. The tool used to enslave our nations: central banks and fiat currencies.
This institution have the monopoly over the national fiat currency that they print to buy government debt. This system was possible thanks to codified law and the widespread ignorance of the public on monetary and banking issues. The problem with traditional currencies is that they are subject to inflation, regulations and we have to trust those in control of them. Since fiat currencies are a creation of the state they are subject to their authority and arbitrary changes. It’s a contract and when we use them we fall under the government’s jurisdiction: this comes with ‘privileges’ and tax liabilities.
Private companies that manage these currencies and process payments such as banks can arbitrarily freeze, confiscate and steal our money at every moment without any real evidence of a crime. They can do this to bail out banks who give risky loans that cannot be repaid. This creates a cycle of currency debasement, increasing cost of living, economic stagnation, demoralization of the markets, market distortions and many other evils. This has us in a loop of: more inflation, more taxes, less savings, more crisis. And there’s no remedy ‘inside’ the system.
This currency that central banks print is not based on substance (gold, silver, or other commodities) but on faith over the government credit. A faith that is crumbling. This currency is not real money; in fact, it is the opposite: debt.
Every unit of currency represents a government debt obligation, which must be repaid to the central bank that holds the corresponding asset: government bonds. If the government has the ability to create bonds, it could also create currency without the need to borrow from the central bank. But the reality is that international bankers control the government, and they want the government to be in debt.
Those with control of the currency printer can buy any legislator, any university, any business, or any influential media channel to manipulate the mechanism of democracy and to use the government as a mask to advance their agenda of expanding their monopolistic and parasitic power. They can get legal immunity, modify the laws to their advantage, and control the education and the information we get.
We are led to believe the system is “broken” and it needs to be fixed, when the reality is that this monetary system that took over our governments is designed to enslave us and our future generations with hopeless debts. This parasitic system sucks the wealth of nations with inflation, deflation, and taxation while they don't give us equal value. The mechanism is literally engineered to transfer wealth from the citizens to the banks: THIS IS BY DESIGN.
Thomas Jefferson also warned us when he said, "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
By inflating the currency and credit supply, they create an artificial boom in the economy, incentivizing the public to collateralize real wealth and borrow worthless bank promissory notes that these institutions can create out of thin air because of "licenses’ and legal privileges. When the banks consider it time to turn the wheel, they raise interest rates and start deflating the currency and credit supply, triggering liquidations of collateral, business bankruptcies, and economic depression. We are told this process is a natural phenomenon from the “economic cycle,” but the truth is that this process is artificially designed to transfer the wealth from the citizens and businesses to the banks and their corporations.
We have become enslaved to the banks, who control our economic success or downfall due to our adoption of their worthless promissory notes as the primary means of exchange for commerce. They introduced this fake money in our legislation as ‘legal tender’ for all debts, public and private. This currency is not money; it is fake money based on a debt designed to enslave us.
In order to have more currency, we have to pledge real wealth as collateral, risking losing it in a game of chance where the bank controls the odds. This is the real reason why the Great Depression of 1929-1933 happened; this is how the banks stole all the gold and infiltrated every big business board of directors by turning themselves into majority stockholders using a network of private trusts and corporations.
Nations of the world and citizens are being enslaved by the international bankers and their debt-based currencies, lending air and stealing the resources of the nations. **This creates artificial scarcity, misery, and economic stagnation. **
This system creates two types of citizens: those who have to exchange time, energy, and work to obtain currency and are heavily taxed on the process and those who can print it out of thin air or loan against their assets tax-free. This is the root of inequality under the law and the equivalent of reestablishing nobility titles in the form of “banking licenses.”
These contracted debts are mathematically impossible to repay since there’s more debt than currency due to the interest that compound every year. This creates the need to pay the old debts with new emission of debts creating more inflation of the currency while devaluing its purchasing power and increasing the cost of living.
Government deficits only grow while the public services decline and its cost to the public increase in the form of higher taxes and inflation. As the situation gets worse, direct confiscation of wealth happens.. Authority abuses, surveillance and violation of rights from governments are common things, especially during the big debt crisis.
This system created a big debt spiral. When the government “prints currency” it is getting itself deeper in debt issuing bonds that generate interest that grows the size of the debt every year. This death spiral debases the currency faster and faster accelerating all the evils from the economic crisis that cannot be fixed.
This monetary system is what killed our constitutional republics and the root of most of the evils our modern society faces. But not everything is lost; we have reason to be positive, we have hope! We have Bitcoin!
**4. The solution: going back to our roots **
On February 8, 1996, John Perry Barlow published The Declaration of Independence in Cyberspace in response to the increasing government control and surveillance over the internet, which raised concerns about privacy, free speech, and other human rights. He called cyberspace the “new home of the mind,” where the sovereignty of the governments has no jurisdiction.
Now more than ever, mental privacy and freedom of thought are key elements for self-determination.
I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us. You have no moral right to rule us, nor do you possess any methods of enforcement we have true reason to fear. (...) Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. *You have neither solicited nor received ours. We did not invite you. (...) *
The declaration continues saying that many of the problems that governments affirm they need to solve are nonexistent, and if there are problems to solve, the people will fix them by their own means without the government. It says that they were creating a world where everyone is equal in terms of having the same possibility to express their minds and beliefs without the fear of being coerced into silence or conformity. Adding that the only law that all our constituent cultures would generally recognize is the Golden Rule. Inviting freedom lovers and self-determination supporters to bring back the dreams of Jefferson, Washington, Mill, Madison, De Tocqueville, and Brandeis.
*We must declare our virtual selves immune to your sovereignty, even as we continue to consent to your rule over our bodies. We will spread ourselves across the planet so that no one can arrest our thoughts. *
We will create a civilization of the mind in cyberspace. May it be more humane and fair than the world your governments have made before.
Satoshi Nakamoto published his white paper on the cyberpunk mailing list on October 31, 2008, twelve years after the publication of this new declaration of independence. He did so during the great financial crisis created by the banks as a revolutionary yet silent act. This list was a place where computer scientists, hackers, and developers from all around the world shared ideas, debated technical issues, and pushed for digital security and anonymity.
The idea was solid but still needed some collaboration and help to make it a reality: the mailing list was the key. As prophesied in the new declaration, a new idea started flowing freely on the internet with the intention of fixing a problem (created by banks) by people’s means without asking for ‘authorities’ permission. A group of individuals started voluntarily working on this new idea because they knew the importance of it and the impact of its promise.
**During these seventeen years, this idea has transformed into a more viable alternative system for those who uphold the principles of human freedom, self-determination, and self-government. **
Bitcoin was designed for individuals who have opted to assume personal responsibility, rather than relying on external powers to enhance their lives. This is a choice for individuals who are courageous, inquisitive, and truth-seekers, fed up with the constant bombardment of falsehoods and manipulation. This is a choice for individuals who have reached the point of no longer accepting lies and manipulation.
We have to recognize the libertarian and Austrian economic spirit of Bitcoin because this was THE SAME SPIRIT UPON WHICH OUR CONSTITUTIONS WERE WRITTEN CENTURIES AGO. I refer mainly to the constitutions of the United States of America (1788) and the Argentine Republic (1853). These are our roots, and we should never forget them if we want to be free and protect our individual freedoms.
First of all, libertarians defend individual freedoms and small governments with limited intervention in people’s lives. The golden rule of “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” or, reversed, “Do not do unto others what you would not want done to yourself,” is **the moral code of the libertarians, as it was the moral code of the Lord Jesus Christ. **
The libertarian philosophy embraces autonomy, entrepreneurship, and voluntary cooperation while it opposes coercion, authoritarianism, and bureaucracy. It encourages a society where individuals are responsible for their actions and decisions while fostering cooperation and mutual respect among them.
The Austrian school of economics shares the same values, opposing central planning, government intervention in the economy, socialism, and communism and advocating for free market systems based on voluntary exchanges and private property.
It also points to the central bank's fiat currency manipulation as the root cause of great financial crises such as the 2008 one, when Satoshi published his white-paper as a way of saying: WE NEED AN ALTERNATIVE TO THIS MADNESS, AND WE NEED TO DO IT BY OUR OWN MEANS BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT WAS PART OF THE PROBLEM, NOT PART OF THE SOLUTION. HE LEFT THIS CLEAR IN THE GENESIS BLOCK.
“The Federal Reserve is an organized cartel of bankers, who are creating inflation, ripping off the public, destroying the savings of the average American”
Murray Rothbard (1926-1995), founder and leading theoretician of anarcho-capitalism.
The Austrian school of economics points to central banks and their fiat currencies as the responsible parties for every type of distortion in the markets leading to recessions and financial crises, opposing both of them and advocating for hard money that governments cannot manipulate, especially gold.
Following the golden rule and the Austrian teachings, Satoshi gave humanity the ideal monetary system ever engineered and with the cyberpunks they made it real.
And Bitcoin is not just money, but also a new form of protecting private property, monetizing energy, distributing governance, connecting individuals worldwide and expanding commerce rails.
Bitcoin is a social network, a perfect republic, by bitcoiners and for bitcoiners. Bitcoin is so far the best REAL option we have to opt out of this rigged game and reclaim our sovereignty and self-respect. Bitcoin is the remedy that cannot be found under the law, and if we did, we have no guarantees it will not be taken away.
The adoption of Bitcoin is voluntary; no one is going to force it upon you with ‘legal tender’ laws or arbitrary regulations. Bitcoin is de facto lawful money that does not require permission or licenses, following the spirit of our original constitutions.
It provides a new way of doing commerce, with a global network of individuals organized around a consensus of rules. Today, commerce operates on a global scale, unencumbered by state intervention, and the boundaries exist only in our imaginations due to the limitless possibilities. Free enterprise is again possible even under the cashless society that banks are actively pushing on us.
Bitcoin is not just honest and hard money; Bitcoin is a set of rules without rulers. Bitcoin is money backed by math and energy that cannot be manipulated. Our property rights are protected by code, computing power, and energy.
Bitcoin is the perfect republic. The division of power of the Bitcoin network replicates those of the Republic, guaranteeing a balance between centralization and decentralization that is capable of providing equality under the code.
Bitcoin is the re-evolution of money, governance, and banking, and it has the potential to replace them all at once or at least force them to adapt and improve their services if they don't want to become obsolete in the next decades.
5. The perfect Republic
The organized power of a Republic is divided in Legislative, executive and judicial systems, in the case of Bitcoin is the protocol, the miners and the nodes. Bitcoin is not only money, but the perfect Republic: a distributed power with no kings, no central banks and no ballot boxes full of lies. It is a network where power is divided, distributed, audited and encrypted.
No bank and no government control Bitcoin. Just math, incentives, cryptography and a worldwide web of individuals who want bitcoin to succeed.
The code is the legislative power
The rules of the protocol are its constitutions: 21 million, halving every 210,000 blocks, difficulty adjustment, blocksize. Instead of being a set of traditional laws it’s a set of modern computer codes. Similar to the written constitutions the Bitcoin protocol established a set of rules that ensure the integrity, fairness and stability of the network.
These rules are written and are visible and audible. You need a total consensus in order to change them, something that is very difficult, almost impossible. There’s no such thing as emergency powers or govern by a majority, decree or executive orders.
The best government is the one who governs the less, and the bitcoin monetary policy can be reduced to this simple geometric regression:
The Bitcoin fixed supply and predictable monetary policy are key rules of the protocol. They incentivice savings and eliminate inflation forever. It also eliminates currency supply manipulation forever, giving clarity to the individuals and facilitating economic planification based on strong principles: certainty and predictability.
This not only preserves and grows the value of the bitcoins but it also serves as a check on the power of governments and central banks that manipulate the money supply for their benefit.
Miners are the executive power
They execute transactions, validate blocks and maintain the network flowing. But they cannot manipulate the code, they execute, they do not govern. The process of mining employs cryptography to secure transactions and prevent fraud, ensuring the system remains trustworthy and reliable for its users.
Miners have skin in the game, they invest in hardware and energy to mine the bitcoins, so they have an incentive to act honestly to get the rewards, cheating is against their interest and if they do their blocks get rejected by the network of nodes and they waste valuable energy.
In fact miners are incentivized to find the cheapest source of energy, usually wasted energy to mine bitcoin. In this process they not only maintain the network alive and secure with the transactions flowing but also monetize energy: they turn energy into bitcoin!
The nodes are the judicial power
They are the guardians of the protocol, they make sure the rules are being followed and if someone is trying to cheat they can invalidate the transaction.
Nodes have a complete copy of the bitcoin transactions history (blockchain) as a publicly-accessible record of all transactions that have ever taken place within the system. Nodes verify that every new transaction is following the rules of the protocol. This feature ensures that the record cannot be altered or hidden, promoting transparency and accountability in its operations.
They act like the supreme court, they don't produce laws, they don't process transactions, but they can say “this is not valid”. **This is the equivalent of having thousands of judges all around the world that nobody can buy or shut down. **
Like citizens can vote in a constitutional republic, users of the Bitcoin network can do it by running nodes. Changes in the protocol require total agreement among nodes to ensure that no single entity or group can modify the rules. This maintains the integrity of the network. This system of governance ensures that decisions are made transparently and with input from all nodes runners.
**Users: Citizens of the Bitcoin Republic a.k.a bitcoiners **
With no central authority or supreme power all bitcoiners are equal under the code. Bitcoin is a global system, it works 24/7, totally accessible for everyone, it cannot be manipulated by bankers or by governments and everyone is free to build a business around Bitcoin.
There’s no need for IDs, licenses or approvals, the network is open to everyone and functions in a permission-less way. Bitcoin is a parallel system and does not depend on the state or banks infrastructures, in fact it serves to ***protect private property and make payments in a more secure, easiest and cheaper way. ***
Bitcoiners can earn, save and spend bitcoin, they are the human part of the network, some of them are behind the nodes and the miners, others contribute to the improvements of the network and some are just ‘regular’ users.
Even do they are not ‘regular’ in any sense, in fact they are sovereign individuals who can control their own wealth in the form of private keys, they do not depend from the state, they can operate with freedom, they don't have to ask for permission in order to convert their value and protect it against the parasites.
**This is real freedom and bitcoiners are the citizens of a worldwide perfect republic funded on cyberspace but not limited to the metaverse. ** The system has been operating without interruption for more than a decade. An idea that in less than two decades became a worldwide giant network with trillions in value. If this is not winning I don't know what it is.
So Bitcoin is working as a libertarian Republic, based on voluntarism, nobody is forced to join the network but if they want they can, enjoying the benefits of: equality under the code (law), accountability, and the protection of individual rights by limiting the power of central authorities and ensuring that the decision-making processes are transparent and accessible to all participants requiring a total consensus to be implemented.
One of the biggest differences with traditional Republics is that you don't have to be lucky to born in its territory, in fact you can live in a communist country and still be part of a global libertarian digital and perfect Republic; where your property rights are respected, where you can save and protect the fruits of your labour in a ultra-secure way with military level cryptography, where you can provide your services or sell your goods to the world; monetizing your work directly without state intervention or unnecessary intermediaries.
Earning freely and keeping the totality of what you earn is proof that the torch of freedom is still on, even with a system that continuously conspires to turn it off.
**5. This time is different **
As republics usually do, Bitcoin had its own civil war. This kind of war is generally between those who want to centralize control and power and those who want to distribute control and power. In the case of the Bitcoin civil war this was no different.
The Block-size war lasted from August 2015 to November 2017 and it was the biggest challenge and the most turbulent moments that bitcoin has faced so far.
The fight was around the following: Bitcoin doesn't scale, we have to do something.
From February 2015 to 2018 the intellectual debate around the Lightning Network developed. But it wasn't until 2019 that started to get traction among users and proved to be a good form of scaling Bitcoin without sacrificing decentralization if you are running a node.
I personally believe that 2020 was a turning point. There was an explosion of companies working on the lighting network and they have been building nonstop since then improving many aspects and lowering the barriers for new users.
From that year Bitcoin had enough time proof and had survived enough difficulties to get the credibility and trust needed to scale to the next level.
6. Conclusión
Bitcoin has no competition and everything else is a distraction. There’s no second best, there’s no such thing as a “crypto currency / blockchain revolution” there is only a Bitcoin re-evolution. **The United States government is bankrupt, on the verge of economic disaster, we are witnessing the death of the dollar and nobody is going to save us but ourselves. **
The solution is here, its adoption is optional, the incentive creates an honest consensus that is almost impossible to destroy thanks to the decentralized network of nodes. The block-size war demonstrated this fact, it was literally the civil war for Bitcoin and proof that where our constitutional republics failed, Bitcoin is succeeding. BUT WE NEED TO STAY VIGILANT. VICTORY IS NOT GUARANTEED.
Nation-States, corporations and individuals can interact in some way with this worldwide distributed perfect republic to enjoy the benefits it provides, but the individual is the one who can gain the most out of it.
Bitcoin is a sovereignty-increasing tool that liberates the individual from the tyrannical forms of government and many of the corporate products that extract its wealth in a parasitic way. **Bitcoin makes legislators, accountants and financial advisors obsolete. But it requires the individual to embody self-determination and responsibility. **
Let’s not repeat the mistakes of the past, we have to embody the spirit of our constitution and put these freedoms into practice, because information and freedom are worthless if they are not applied in the real world. Let’s keep building on the wisdom we inherit from our founding fathers and let’s not forget where we came from.

J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon has long been an outspoken skeptic and critic of bitcoin. He has called Bitcoin a speculative asset, a fraud, a pet rock, and has opined that it will inevitably blow up. A couple of years ago, he was on Capitol Hill saying that if he were the government, he would "close it down". Just within the last month, he was on Fox Business News talking with Maria Bartiromo, proclaiming that the U.S. should be stockpiling bullets and rare earth metals instead of bitcoin. It's pretty clear that Jamie Dimon, who is at the helm of the most powerful and largest bank in the world, does not like bitcoin one bit.
Evidence below:
via Bitcoin Magazine
via me

Despite Dimon's distinguished disdain for Bitcoin, J.P. Morgan cannot deny reality. The CEO of the largest bank in the world is certainly a powerful man, but no one individual, even in the position that Jamie Dimon is in, is more powerful than the market. And the market has spoken very clearly, it is demanding bitcoin. The Bitcoin ETFs have been the most successful ETFs in terms of pace of growth since their launch. They've accumulated tens of billions of dollars in AUM in a very short period of time. Outpacing the previous record set by the gold ETF, GLD.
Whether or not Jamie Dimon himself likes Bitcoin doesn't matter. J.P. Morgan, as the largest bank in the world and a publicly traded company, has a duty to shareholders. And that duty is to increase shareholder value by any ethical and legal means necessary. Earlier today, J.P. Morgan announced plans to offer clients financing against their Bitcoin ETFs, as well as some other benefits, including having their bitcoin holdings recognized in their overall net worth and liquid assets, similar to stocks, cars, and art, which will be massive for bitcoiners looking to get mortgages and other types of loans.

I've talked about this recently, but trying to buy a house when most of your liquid net worth is held in bitcoin is a massive pain in the ass. Up until this point, if you wanted to have your bitcoin recognized as part of your net worth and count towards your overall credit profile, you would need to sell some bitcoin, move it to a bank account, and have it sit there for a certain period of time before it was recognized toward your net worth. This is not ideal for bitcoiners who have sufficient cash flows and don't want to sell their bitcoin, pay the capital gains tax, and risk not being able to buy back the amount of sats they were forced to sell just to get a mortgage.
It's not yet clear to me whether or not J.P. Morgan will recognize bitcoin in cold storage toward their clients' net worth and credit profile, or if this is simply for bitcoin ETFs only. However, regardless, this is a step in the right direction and a validation of something that many bitcoiners have been saying for years. Inevitably, everyone will have to bend the knee to bitcoin. Today, it just happened to be the largest bank in the world. I expect more of this to come in the coming months, years, and decades.
Lyn Alden likes to say it in the context of the U.S. national debt and the fiscal crisis, but it also applies to bitcoin adoption and the need for incumbents to orient themselves around the demands of individual bitcoiners; nothing stops this train.
Corporate Bitcoin Treasuries are Changing Market Dynamics
Leon Wankum revealed how corporate Bitcoin treasuries are fundamentally reshaping business dynamics. Companies can now issue equity to fund operations while preserving their Bitcoin holdings, creating a revolutionary capital structure. Leon highlighted MicroStrategy's position, noting they hold enough Bitcoin to cover dividend payments for over 200 years. This model enables companies to reduce founder dilution since they don't need repeated funding rounds when their treasury appreciates.
"Some companies' Bitcoin treasuries are now worth more than all money they've ever raised." - Leon Wankum
Leon shared examples from his own portfolio companies where this strategy has proven transformative. Public companies have discovered an entirely new business model through strategic dilution that actually increases BTC per share. As Leon explained, this approach allows firms to leverage equity markets for operational funding while their Bitcoin treasury compounds in value, creating a positive feedback loop that benefits both shareholders and the company's long-term sustainability.

2025-06-04 22:06:06In dem Video geht es um Dietrich Bonhoeffer, wie er sich zu Dummheit und vorsätzlicher bzw. rationaler Ignoranz geäußert hat. Schon seit einiger Zeit geht bei vielen Seltsames vor: Sie werden mit einem Thema persönlich konfrontiert und postum gibt es genau zu diesem Thema ein Video oder einen Artikel. Das kommt manchmal so vor, wie ein Frage- und Antwort-Spiel innerhalb der Schwarm-Intelligenz. Irgendwie spooky.
Die erschreckende Theorie der Dummheit, die Sie nie hören sollten - Dietrich Bonhoeffer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH-Vs5ILEko
Dem Entdecken, oder besser, dem Auf-einen-Zukommen, ist dieser E-Mail-Schriftverkehr in zeitlichem Zusammenhang vorausgegangen:
Nachfrage zu einem Aufruf durch einen Mitarbeiter zur Blutspende in einem Unternehmen mit über 100 Mitarbeitern über den E-Mail-Verteiler:
Lieber XXXXXXX,
danke zunächst für Dein Engagement.
In meiner näheren Familie gibt es jemanden, der regelmäßig Blut spendet, daher bin ich ein wenig für das Thema sensibilisiert.
Seit Du die E-Mail verschickt hast, gehe ich damit „schwanger“, ob ich ein vielleicht „heißes Eisen“ anfassen soll.
In den angehängten Informationen (des Roten Kreuzes) steht, dass das gespendete Blut auf bestimmte „Verunreinigungen“ durch Vorerkrankungen untersucht wird. Was nicht aufgeführt ist, ist eine Untersuchung, von der ich noch nicht einmal weiß, ob sie überhaupt schon durchgeführt wurde, und wenn ja, zu welchem Ergebnis sie gekommen ist, ob das gespendete Blut auch mit Substanzen der Corona-Gen-Behandlung verunreinigt sein kann. Leider zeigen ja die aktuellen Erkenntnisse, dass das Spike-Protein noch nach Jahren aktiv sein kann. Auch in gespendetem Blut? Die konkrete Frage wäre, ob das Rote Kreuz definitiv ausschließen kann, dass das nicht der Fall ist, damit ein möglicher Schaden nicht die Gefahr läuft, größer zu sein, als der Nutzen.
Soweit ich weiß, hat das Rote Kreuz bis heute keine separaten Blutbanken von „geimpftem“ und „ungeimpftem“ Blut angelegt. Wenn zu 100% ausgeschlossen werden kann, dass keine schädlichen Substanzen der Gen-Behandlung in die Blutkonserve gelangen, wäre das ja natürlich nicht nötig. Ist das so? Wenn ja, wo ist der Nachweis dazu zu finden, wie ist der aktuelle Erkenntnisstand, von wem wurden Studien dazu erarbeitet, wer hat das finanziert?
Mindestens 20% der Bevölkerung, das sind rund 16 Millionen Menschen, haben auf die Gen-Behandlung verzichtet und wollen im Ernstfall kein kontaminiertes Blut empfangen. Wie kann das Rote Kreuz belegbar und glaubhaft nachweisen, dass möglicherweise verunreinigtes Blut nicht doch in die Blutkonserven gelangt, weil sonst die Gefahr besteht, dass im Ernstfall Impfverzichter einen Schaden davontragen könnten?
Ich finde das eine wichtige Frage dem Roten Kreuz gegenüber und vielleicht wäre es auch gut, die möglichen Spender im Vorfeld für dieses heikle Thema zu sensibilisieren. Ich finde es auffällig, dass das Rote Kreuz sich hierzu weder in die eine, noch andere Richtung in den Informationen äußert, obwohl sie uns alle betrifft.
Ich schreibe diese Email aus kollegialen Gründen, aber auch zur Sensibilisierung gegenüber der Verantwortung aller Menschen gegenüber ihren Mitmenschen, die (hoffentlich nie) in die Situation kommen, einmal auf eine Blutspende angewiesen zu sein.
Wenn sich etwas Neues auf meine Nachfrage an Dich ergibt, wäre es klasse, ich würde davon erfahren.
Vielen Dank und viele Grüße
YYYYYYY
(Die Intension war, sich so vorsichtig wie möglich, quasi auf „Samtpfötchen“, an den Kern heranzupirschen. Dass es bereits Erkenntnisse dazu gibt, dass das Blut kontaminiert sein kann, wurde bewusst weggelassen, um keine Angriffsfläche zu bieten, ein „Verschwörungstheoretiker“ zu sein. Wenn die andere Seite auf einen Austausch eingestiegen wäre, wäre eine Quelle zu dieser Aussage vorhanden gewesen.)
Die Antwort:
Hallo YYYYYYY,
danke für die ausführliche Nachricht und dass du dir Gedanken zu dem Thema machst. Ich finde, man sollte Blutspenden als eine persönliche und private Sache betrachten.
Jeder und jede sollte für sich selbst abwägen, ob und unter welchen Bedingungen er oder sie das tun möchte.
Die Fragen, die du gestellt hast, sind echt speziell. Da geht's um medizinische und wissenschaftliche Themen, da kann ich als Privatperson nicht mitreden. Ich denke, dass sich Interessierte bei solchen Themen am besten direkt an medizinische Fachstellen oder das Rote Kreuz vor Ort wenden sollten, um fundierte und belastbare Informationen zu erhalten.
Mir persönlich ist es wichtig, Menschen auf die Möglichkeit der Blutspende aufmerksam zu machen.
Jeder kann das für sich selbst entscheiden und es ist auch okay, wenn man dabei Überzeugungen hat.
Beste Grüße
XXXXXXX
(„Blutspende…eine persönliche und private Sache“, nach dem Corona-Ereignis auch noch?, „…ich als Privatperson“ empfehle anderen etwas, bei dem sie möglicherweise anderen einen Schaden zufügen. Ist das schon grob fahrlässig, nach den Denkanstößen, die gegeben wurden?, „Wenn man dabei Überzeugungen hat.“, interessante Formulierung.)
Darauf die Reaktion:
Hallo XXXXXXX,
danke auch für Deine Antwort.
Wenn so eine im Grundsatz sicher gute Aktion beworben wird, liegt es nach meinem Empfinden auch in der Verantwortung, auf mögliche Folgen hinzuweisen, wenn es das Rote Kreuz schon nicht tut. Vorausgesetzt, man misst ihnen Bedeutung zu. Wenn meine E-Mail keine Veranlassung zu einer Beunruhigung und eigener Recherche angeregt hat, dann kann ich leider mehr nicht tun.
Dass das Rote Kreuz keine Hinweise gibt, liegt wohl daran, dass es Teil des Systems ist. Wer die Augen aufmacht, kann mit wenig Aufwand leider mehr als genug Tatsachenwahrheiten finden, die mit Schäden im Zusammenhang der Gen-Behandlung verursacht wurden und immer noch verursacht werden. Es ist nicht meine Aufgabe, einen Wissensrückstand von 5 Jahren auf den aktuellen Stand zu bringen. Allein die veröffentlichten RKI-Protokolle sollten schon genug Anlass zur Skepsis bieten. Der ÖRR berichtet leider nicht darüber, weil er auch Teil des Systems ist.
Ich will es damit genug sein lassen und hoffe, dass es unter den Kolleginnen und Kollegen noch weitere kritische Geister gibt.
Es geht nicht gegen Dich persönlich, aber ich hoffe, das Angebot wird nicht zahlreich genutzt.
Viele Grüße
YYYYYYY
(Einen halben Gang hochgeschaltet, ein Versuch, XXXXXXX aus der Reserve zu locken.)
Und ein Nachtrag von YYYYYYY:
Lieber XXXXXXX,
wir sind schon einmal unter Missbrauch des Begriffes „Solidarität“ hinter die Fichte geführt worden. Das darf nicht noch einmal passieren!
Nochmals viele Grüße
YYYYYYY
(Keine Reaktion mehr von XXXXXXX)
Und, wie gesagt, daraufhin kam das Video mit Bonhoeffer entgegen. Besser kann man vorsätzliche, rationale Ignoranz in Bezug auf den Schriftwechsel nicht beschreiben.
Hier wird eine jeden angehende allgemeinmedizinische Frage zu einer Frage der persönlichen Überzeugung gemacht. Das kommt doch sehr bekannt vor, oder?
Sehr wahrscheinlich lässt es sich vermuten, dass es sich bei XXXXXXX wohl um einen Corona-Jünger handelt, der die Tatsachen scheut, wie der Teufel das Weihwasser. Bloß nicht nachdenken, bloß nicht in Frage stellen, bloß nicht hellhörig oder gar neugierig werden, bloß nicht auf die Äußerungen eingehen, bloß nicht konkret werden, bloß keine eindeutig formulierte Stellung zu den Aussagen beziehen. „Angriffsfläche“ wäre vorhanden gewesen.
Das vorsichtige Anpirschen war alles andere, als mit-der-Brechstange-herangehen. Und doch setzt sofort automatisch der Teflon-Effekt ein. Selbstschutz.
Die Frage ist, wie soll da die Spaltung überwunden werden, wenn „die andere Seite“ so überhaupt nicht bereit ist, sich mit dem Vorgebrachten auseinanderzusetzen. Noch nicht einmal, wenn man nur die Spitze der Spitze des Eisbergs leise anhaucht.
Diesem Beispiel könnten viele unzählige weitere Beispiele hinzugefügt werden. Jeder hat so etwas schon einmal auf die eine oder andere Weise erlebt.
Das Gefühl lässt sich nicht unterdrücken, dass sich die Menschheit in zwei Lager aufgeteilt hat, und es gibt derzeit keinen Weg, wie man wieder aufeinander zukommen könnte.
Wie zwei Welten aufeinanderprallen, kann man derzeit auch in der Enquete-Kommission im sächsischen Landtag erleben: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6ACmwBUBFM
Aus der Sicht von YYYYYYY ist das kein Grund zur Verzweiflung, jedoch drängt sich der Wunsch auf, dass man mit solchen Menschen wie XXXXXXX nichts mehr anfangen will. Man möchte mit ihnen, so schade es auch ist, am liebsten gar nichts mehr zu tun haben, und wenn doch aus irgendwelchen Gründen, nur noch das Allernotwendigste, so kurz und knapp, wie möglich. Empathie aufzubringen erscheint einem als vergeudete Energie, besser ist es, sich auf die Menschen zu konzentrieren, die wegen fehlender Genbehandlung keine Wesensveränderungen, die mittlerweile leider auch schon bestätigt sind, erlitten haben.
Wie Bonhoeffer richtig sagt, es geht hier nicht um Intelligenz, es geht viel tiefer. Es geht um das Menschsein an sich, und man hat den Eindruck, dass vor allem dies unter dem Einfluss der Spritze sehr stark gelitten hat. Da scheint so eine Abgestumpftheit durch, die einem einen kalten Schauer über den Rücken fahren lässt. Und das ist vielleicht noch gefährlicher, als diejenigen, die wirklich dumm sind. Das ist keine Arroganz oder Überheblichkeit, sondern unschuldig, wahllos von der Natur vergebene Dummheit, die jeden hätte ereilen können, hat es immer schon zu einem großen Teil gegeben. Hier hat man wenigstens noch die Möglichkeit, sich einfühlen zu können und Verständnis aufzubringen. Bei Menschen aber, von denen man weiß, dass sie die kognitiven Fähigkeiten zur Reflektion hätten, sie jedoch aus welchen Gründen auch immer nicht nutzen, oder sie als Verdrängungsmechanismus gerade nutzen, weil sie es können, geht auch eine gewisse Gefahr aus, weil man nie wissen kann, was sie sich sonst noch so ausdenken könnten, wenn sie in die geistige Enge getrieben werden, um ja nicht von Menschen, die den Mut haben, die Wahrheit auszusprechen, in ihrem mühsam aufgebauten Weltbild erschüttert zu werden. „Was nicht sein darf, das nicht sein kann!“, obwohl doch eigentlich die Wahrheit dem Menschen zumutbar ist.
So hat man das Gefühl, man atmet Honig ein und bewegt sich mühsam durch einen zähen Brei vorwärts, der einem bis zu den Oberschenkeln reicht. Jeder Schritt eine Anstrengung.
Und bevor man noch tiefer in dieses Verlustgefühl von Lebensqualität eintaucht (das hat nichts mit Depressionen zu tun, man bekommt einfach nur schlechte Laune), sich immer wieder bewusst machen, dass es da draußen noch eine Menge bei Verstand gebliebener Menschen gibt, die unermüdlich daran arbeiten, dass die Wahrheit weiter so sehr erkraftet, dass sie sich ihren Weg in den sogenannten Mainstream bahnt und die Menschen endlich aufwachen. So schmerzlich das für viele sein mag, es muss sein!
Selbst für einen wenig religiösen Menschen, im Sinne von regelmäßigen Kirchgängen und keinem Kontakt zur Institution Kirche, bekommt der Satz eine ganz besondere Bedeutung:
„Ich schicke euch den Geist der Wahrheit, und der wird euch frei machen!“

2025-06-04 20:33:38Imagina un mundo donde cada peso que gastas es vigilado, registrado y cuestionado. Donde el Estado decide si puedes comprar un café, una manzana o una criptomoneda. No es una distopía de ciencia ficción, es el rumbo que están tomando varios países, mientras otros, como Argentina, dan un giro inesperado hacia la libertad. ¿Quién está ganando esta batalla por el control de tu dinero?
Argentina: "Tus dólares son tuyos" En Argentina, Javier Milei, con su bandera libertaria ondeando, ha dado un paso audaz: desmantelar el control policial sobre el dinero de los ciudadanos. Su lema, "Tus dólares son tuyos", es tan obvio como revolucionario. Después de décadas de corralitos, cepos cambiarios y una inflación que en 2023 alcanzó el 211,4% según el INDEC, Milei apuesta por devolverle al ciudadano el poder sobre su propio capital. Con el país logrando superávit fiscal por primera vez en años (0,2% del PBI en el primer trimestre de 2024), el gobierno ya no necesita espiar cada transacción para exprimir impuestos.
Pero aquí viene lo curioso: encuestas recientes, como una de la consultora Poliarquía, muestran que un 35% de los argentinos aún prefiere que el Estado controle sus finanzas. ¿Masoquismo? ¿Miedo a la libertad? Tal vez sea la costumbre de vivir bajo la lupa. Milei, fiel a su convicción, no solo liberaliza por necesidad económica, sino porque cree que el dinero es tuyo, no del burócrata de turno.
España y el Euro Digital: El ojo que todo lo ve Mientras Argentina afloja las riendas, Europa cabalga en dirección opuesta. En España, el gobierno está reduciendo progresivamente los umbrales para controlar transacciones bancarias. A partir de 2026, cada pago por Bizum —el equivalente ibérico al Pix brasileño— estará bajo escrutinio. Según el Banco de España, en 2024 se realizaron más de 1.200 millones de transacciones por Bizum, moviendo unos 60.000 millones de euros. Ahora, cada una de esas operaciones será un dato más para Hacienda.
Pero no es solo España. La Unión Europea avanza con el Euro Digital, un proyecto que promete ser la pesadilla de cualquier amante de la privacidad. Esta moneda digital, según el Banco Central Europeo, permitirá rastrear cada movimiento, limitar ciertos gastos (¿adiós a compras de cripto o donaciones incómodas?), e incluso programar que el dinero "se oxide". Sí, has leído bien: si no gastas tus euros digitales en un tiempo determinado, podrían perder valor o simplemente desaparecer. Un informe del BCE de 2023 estima que el Euro Digital estará operativo en 2027, y ya hay pruebas piloto en países como Alemania y Francia. ¿Libertad financiera? Más bien un Gran Hermano con esteroides.
Chile: El Estado fisgón y los funcionarios de lujo En Chile, el control monetario también aprieta. El gobierno ha propuesto levantar el secreto bancario, permitiendo que cualquier funcionario del SII pueda husmear en tus cuentas. Además, si haces más de 50 transacciones al mes, el Servicio de Impuestos Internos (SII) pondrá la lupa sobre ti. ¿Y las ferias libres? Esas donde compras tus tomates y zapallos sin complicaciones ahora deberán emitir boletas electrónicas, encareciendo los productos para el ciudadano de a pie. Según la CEPAL, los costos administrativos para pequeños comerciantes podrían aumentar hasta un 15% con estas medidas.
Mientras tanto, el sector público chileno vive en otra galaxia. Funcionarios con sueldos que superan los 5 millones de pesos mensuales (unos 5.500 USD) toman licencias médicas para viajar por el mundo, según denuncias de la Contraloría. Algunos incluso cobran por "turnos" de 17 horas extras diarias o marcan asistencia en dos lugares al mismo tiempo. ¿Y quién paga? Tú, con tus impuestos.
La resistencia: Volver al efectivo o abrazar las cripto Si el Estado quiere controlar cada centavo, ¿qué opciones nos quedan? Una es volver al efectivo, pero no nos engañemos: el dinero fiat, controlado por bancos centrales, pierde valor a largo plazo. En Chile, la inflación acumulada entre 2010 y 2024 fue del 62%, según el INE. Tus billetes de hoy valen menos que los de ayer, y mañana valdrán aún menos.
La otra opción es el mundo cripto, pero no cualquier cripto. Bitcoin, la más conocida, es un titán para almacenar valor, pero para transacciones diarias necesita una segunda capa como Lightning Network, que procesa pagos instantáneos con comisiones ínfimas (menos de 0,01 USD por transacción en 2024). Alternativas como Bitcoin Cash (BCH) o Monero (XMR) ofrecen transacciones rápidas y, en el caso de XMR, un enfoque en la privacidad que hace temblar a los burócratas. Sin embargo, ninguna cripto servirá si los comercios y las personas no las adoptan. En Argentina, por ejemplo, solo el 1,5% de las transacciones minoristas en 2024 usaron criptomonedas, según Chainalysis. La libertad financiera no llega sola: hay que construirla.
El futuro es ahora El dinero es poder, y quien controla el dinero controla tu vida. Mientras Milei en Argentina te devuelve las llaves de tus dólares, en Europa y Chile te atan las manos con leyes, regulaciones y monedas digitales. La pregunta no es si quieres libertad, sino si estás dispuesto a pelear por ella. Usa efectivo, explora cripto, pero sobre todo, no dejes que el Gran Hermano decida por ti. Porque una vez que el Estado mete la mano en tu bolsillo, no la saca nunca.

2025-06-04 20:02:18Bitcoin Magazine
Vegas Comedown, or Was Bitcoin 2025 Too Noisy?“Shitcoin Magazine,” tweeted Bitcoin educator and author Knut Svanholm about the event that BTC Inc, the parent company of Bitcoin Magazine, organized in Las Vegas last week. Dancing cows dashed across my feed. “It’s a political convention now,” I overheard two attendees saying as they exited the Nakamoto stage, heads shaking. Nigel Farage, the inflammatory British politician and leader of Reform UK, was shouting on stage about becoming prime minister. A somewhat calmer personality, Vice President JD Vance spoke about “crypto” and thanked Coinbase.
Word on the (online) street is that Bitcoin 2025 was captured by political and shitcoin-y interests. Our own technical editor, Shinobi, opted out of mass surveillance and bailed for freer pastures at the Oslo Freedom Forum. Erik Cason was uncharacteristically polite (“shitcoin adjacent”), though he was there in person, happily signing the Cryptosovereignty book that Bitcoin Magazine Books published in 2023.
“None of my Bitcoiner friends come here anymore,” said Ben, an entrepreneur who runs a Bitcoin business, on the fence about coming back next year.
Whenever I mention that I work for Bitcoin Magazine, I usually have to field questions about shitcoinery and political shilling (Are you a MAGA dude now?!). Coming to Vegas was inspection time for me — or at least a chance to see what it is that troubles so many people.
With the glamor of the Strip itself and its sensory overload, it’d be easy to be dazzled — plus, it was the first time I had left Fort Europa for the land of the free in years, first time in Vegas, and first time at an American Bitcoin event. It’d be easy for me to simply dismiss the haters by paraphrasing Taylor (“haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate…”).
While sitting down in the whale pass area the Deep, a hipster-looking gentleman started talking to me about how Bitcoin is fundamentally broken and that I should investigate his energy-based shitcoin instead. Waiting for Vance’s speech in the main hall, I was introduced to three young dudes dressed up to perfection and barely out of college, at the conference “to land a job in the industry” — i.e., grifters. A mid-60s technology dude interjected himself into the conversation, bragged about how he worked on tech for Microsoft in the ’90s, and explained how blockchain (not Bitcoin) is the future — only to have us scan the NFC card he had implanted in his left hand. Ugh.
Thus, it wasn’t difficult to see the things all these people online had objected to: Our conference was a party, or “an elaborate Bitcoin extraction scheme,” a “circus, shitcoin fest,” or stablecoin mania. Plus:
— Daniel Prince (@Princey21M) May 30, 2025
They’re not wrong. But honestly, you don’t have to look.
Here’s an underappreciated order to the known universe: To each successful movement or phenomenon, parasites and fraudsters are drawn. It’s why the shitcoin guys are around Bitcoin events and why the politicians are pandering to our cause. Vegas itself is the center of gravity for that sort of thing — gambling, nudity, alcohol, prostitution, and other dopamine-inducing stimulants. I first titled this tak_e_ What Hookers in Vegas Can Teach Us About Politicians at Bitcoin 2025; the simple observation is that fraudsters, grifters, and scammers go to where the value is. Parasites feed off healthy, growing, flourishing organisms.
“Scammers flooding in,” as Tomer Strolight post-conference tweeted, is thus the least surprising thing ever.
We’re succeeding, growing, and becoming if not respectable then at least a household name. The FT and WSJ covering us feel somewhere between “…then they laugh at you“ and “…then they fight you” stages.
Running around meeting people — hardcore Bitcoiners I’ve only ever met online, authors and writers and editors I’ve worked with (they were all in Vegas, since that was the place to be…) — and attending the sum total of three presentations, I felt what Wayne Vaughan of Bitcoin First described:
The Bitcoin Conference 2025 was different and in many ways disappointing.
Good:
The private events were excellent opportunities to reconnect with old friends and meet new people.Bitcoin has grown up. We’re finally legit.
Neutral:
The conference was dominated by politics and…— Wayne Vaughan (@WayneVaughan) May 30, 2025
You can just meet people, just do things.
To make an obvious analogy: The internet is littered with porn, gambling, and cat videos, and it’s the most successful technology in a generation. You don’t have to look; you can just work and provide value instead of wasting away your life talking to shitcoiners or being annoyed at politicians and other fraudsters doing their things.
“Cozying up to any government is a bad idea,” concluded the WSJ piece, citing a “wing” of purist Bitcoin that we all feel. Yes, agreed. But the puritism that its opposite requires condemns us to irrelevancy — belittles and betrays the broader mission.
So yeah: the grifters, the parasites, the politicians, and the financial engineers are here. Good for them. That they’re here is a sign of victory.
Knock me over with a feather, haters.
Come join us for Bitcoin 2026 and see for yourself.

2025-06-04 19:50:29If you'd like to connect with me on XMPP, you're very welcome! I first used it many years ago, and now I've returned to it — and I'm really glad I did.
XMPP is a secure and privacy-friendly way to communicate. It's spam-resistant: messages only go through once you've accepted a contact request. To request a connection, just send me a message.
One of the great things about XMPP is that you have control over encryption. You can choose to use strong encryption like PGP or OMEMO, or even no encryption at all — it's entirely up to you. Your messages aren’t tied to any one company or service.
There are many apps (called clients) you can use with XMPP, and you’re not locked into a single one that monitors or sells your data. XMPP is an open protocol, which means freedom of choice and better privacy.
My XMPP username is: rubenstorm@c0nnect.de
I’ve also been much less active on Facebook, Instagram, and other social media. That’s because I’ve shifted from platforms to protocols — more decentralized, censorship-resistant tools that put users in control. I started exploring these about two years ago and haven’t looked back.
If you’re interested in learning more or want help getting started, feel free to reach out. Just message me using any XMPP client — I’ll be happy to connect!

2025-06-04 21:29:51Since late December, 2024, an evil magic attack targeted me and my family as well as many people occupying governmental positions. The attack was involving the Antichrist that was on an unreachable island found by me telepathically. Sadly the information about the Antichrist reached some Russian Oligarchs Among which many Jews. And somehow he was contacted by them as well as many other Antichrist Allies among which Royal families and he led the magic attack even though magic mixed with AI and computer technologies. The attack consisted in whispering of the devils, of mankind (Antichrist allies) and jinns. Physical harm was attempted too although so weak for any significant effect for me at least. I hesitated on killing the Antichrist because his appearance is a sign of Judgement Day, however, because of acknowledging that the attack would be too intense for ordinary people that don’t know how to know the difference between inner voice or whispering of the devils I have decided to kill him by requesting that he is burned in the core of the earth and by turning any remains into dust spread in space. He didn’t have only a physical presence though he had an incorporated devil. So it took a while to kill the devil that was isolated in iron coffin first so it assumed a smaller figure while trying to escape and finally God guided me to request that the devil is hit with fireballs over and over again. It was confirmed to me that the devil of the Antichrist was completely burned out. And that the next sign would be the creature coming out of the earth, Ad-Daba as well as the smoke covering all the earth, with which there is a great punishment, and that I would be able to fly too (good for me). I hesitated on spreading the news about the Antichrist to avoid fitnah (confusion and trial). Also because he was never freed out of the island before getting burned out. I am mentioning this because it’s important to know that when God’s punishment comes and when the great signs of Judgement Day (among which what’s mentioned above) would appear the returning to God in belief or in repentance won’t be accepted; so my advise is to do it now.

There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death. [He is] your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers.
بَلْ هُمْ فِي شَكٍّ يَلْعَبُونَ
But they are in doubt, amusing themselves.
فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي السَّمَاءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُبِينٍ
Then watch for the Day when the sky will bring a visible smoke.
يَغْشَى النَّاسَ ۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
Covering the people; this is a painful torment.
رَبَّنَا اكْشِفْ عَنَّا الْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ
[They will say], "Our Lord, remove from us the torment; indeed, we are believers."
أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ الذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مُبِينٌ
How will there be for them a reminder [at that time]? And there had come to them a clear Messenger.
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا مُعَلَّمٌ مَجْنُونٌ
Then they turned away from him and said, "[He was] taught [and is] a madman."
إِنَّا كَاشِفُو الْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَائِدُونَ
Indeed, We will remove the torment for a little. Indeed, you [disbelievers] will return [to disbelief].
يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ الْبَطْشَةَ الْكُبْرَىٰ إِنَّا مُنْتَقِمُونَ
The Day We will strike with the greatest assault, indeed, We will take retribution.
6:158 Al-An'aam
هَلْ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَأْتِيَهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ رَبُّكَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ بَعْضُ آيَاتِ رَبِّكَ ۗ يَوْمَ يَأْتِي بَعْضُ آيَاتِ رَبِّكَ لَا يَنْفَعُ نَفْسًا إِيمَانُهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ آمَنَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ أَوْ كَسَبَتْ فِي إِيمَانِهَا خَيْرًا ۗ قُلِ انْتَظِرُوا إِنَّا مُنْتَظِرُونَ
Do they [then] wait for anything except that the angels should come to them or your Lord should come or that there come some of the signs of your Lord? The Day that some of the signs of your Lord will come no soul will benefit from its faith as long as it had not believed before or had earned through its faith some good. Say, "Wait. Indeed, we [also] are waiting."
4:17 An-Nisaa
إِنَّمَا التَّوْبَةُ عَلَى اللَّهِ لِلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ السُّوءَ بِجَهَالَةٍ ثُمَّ يَتُوبُونَ مِنْ قَرِيبٍ فَأُولَٰئِكَ يَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا
The repentance accepted by Allah is only for those who do wrong in ignorance [or carelessness] and then repent soon after. It is those to whom Allah will turn in forgiveness, and Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.
4:18 An-Nisaa
وَلَيْسَتِ التَّوْبَةُ لِلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ السَّيِّئَاتِ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَهُمُ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ إِنِّي تُبْتُ الْآنَ وَلَا الَّذِينَ يَمُوتُونَ وَهُمْ كُفَّارٌ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ أَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا
But repentance is not [accepted] of those who [continue to] do evil deeds up until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "Indeed, I have repented now," or of those who die while they are disbelievers. For them We have prepared a painful punishment.
4:47 An-Nisaa
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ آمِنُوا بِمَا نَزَّلْنَا مُصَدِّقًا لِمَا مَعَكُمْ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ نَطْمِسَ وُجُوهًا فَنَرُدَّهَا عَلَىٰ أَدْبَارِهَا أَوْ نَلْعَنَهُمْ كَمَا لَعَنَّا أَصْحَابَ السَّبْتِ ۚ وَكَانَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ مَفْعُولًا
O you who were given the Scripture, believe in what We have sent down [to Muhammad], confirming that which is with you, before We obliterate faces and turn them toward their backs or curse them as We cursed the sabbath-breakers. And ever is the decree of Allah accomplished.
4:48 An-Nisaa
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَنْ يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ ۚ وَمَنْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدِ افْتَرَىٰ إِثْمًا عَظِيمًا
Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allah has certainly fabricated a tremendous sin.
41:13 Fussilat
فَإِنْ أَعْرَضُوا فَقُلْ أَنْذَرْتُكُمْ صَاعِقَةً مِثْلَ صَاعِقَةِ عَادٍ وَثَمُودَ
But if they turn away, then say, "I have warned you of a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt [that struck] 'Aad and Thamud.
61:13 As-Saff
وَأُخْرَىٰ تُحِبُّونَهَا ۖ نَصْرٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَفَتْحٌ قَرِيبٌ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And [you will obtain] another [favor] that you love - victory from Allah and an imminent conquest; and give good tidings to the believers.

2025-06-04 19:45:11A few days ago I remembered video by Antonio Stappaerts(Artwod) on Youtube. And I thought to myself I want to be really good at drawing hands.\ In the video he explains something that, in my opinion, applies when learning just about anything.
If you've heard of the Dunning-Kruger effect then you know the first part.\ If you haven't, one begins learning something and on top of the first peak thinks oneself to be almost a master. And then one learns a little bit more and realizes how little skill one actually has.
\ Now, what is really interesting is this. He points out that the second slope is made up of many smaller Dunning-Kruger effects. For example the effect will apply when learning: the basic shape of the figure, how to pose the figure, how draw the hands, the hair etc.
So the way to climb the second hill is to understand and practice these smaller skills. And not just once or twice. You want to reach close to the second peak of each of the smaller skills.
And with that in mind I search for a good tutorial about drawing hands and got down to it(for the third time).
Step one was to learn pose and gesture using a grid shape.

Step two. Practice the basic forms for the palm and fingers.\ I got carried away and drew some hands.

Step three. learn the measurements.

Step four. Understand the fingers.

Step five. Learn about the thumb and put it all together. Drawing from reference and imagination.

2025-06-04 19:02:32Bitmain’s new device raises the bar for energy efficiency.
During the World Digital Mining Summit, Bitmain introduced its latest bitcoin mining device: the Antminer S23 Hydro. The new miner promises an energy efficiency of 9.5 joules per terahash (J/TH), setting new industry standards.
ANTMINER S23 Hyd. Newly Launched at WDMS 2025!

Sales Start from May 28th, 9:00AM (EST)
Shipping from Q1, 2026 pic.twitter.com/Kg3VJTt7Rg— BITMAIN (@BITMAINtech) May 27, 2025
According to Bitmain’s presentation, the Antminer S23 Hydro delivers up to 580 TH/s with a power consumption of 5,510 watts.
Scheduled for release in early 2026, the Antminer S23 Hydro marks a major leap forward compared to the first ASIC devices dedicated to mining. To put it in perspective, the first specialized miners launched in 2013 consumed around 1,200 J/TH. Bitmain’s latest device therefore represents a more than 99% improvement in efficiency.
Hashprice and economic challenges
In recent months, the hashprice — the metric measuring mining profitability — has remained relatively low, dropping below $39 per petahash per second during the year. As of now, the hashprice stands at around $55 per petahash per second, according to data from Hashrate Index.
This scenario has pushed several companies in the sector to rethink their expansion strategies. Instead of increasing hashing capacity, many are choosing to upgrade their existing fleets, focusing on efficiency rather than sheer scale.
The introduction of the Antminer S23 Hydro could catalyze a transformation within the mining ecosystem. The gradual replacement of outdated devices with more efficient technology could lead to a significant reduction in the Bitcoin network’s overall energy consumption.

— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) June 3, 2025
Today’s purchase is the first transaction of the secured SEK 60 million that K33 announced it will buy for its Bitcoin treasury strategy.
“We expect Bitcoin to be the best-performing asset in the coming years and will build our balance sheet in Bitcoin moving forward,” said the CEO of K33 Torbjorn Bull Jenssen. “This will give K33 direct exposure to the Bitcoin price and help unlock powerful synergies with our brokerage operation. Our ambition is to build a balance of at least 1000 BTC over time and then scale from there.”
During K33’s Q1 2025 Report & Strategic Outlook presentation. Torbjorn Jenssen mentioned that the “US BTC ETF was the most successful ETF launch in history. Acquiring more capital in just one year than gold did in 20.”
Jenssen also said K33 is working with other Bitcoin treasury companies in the Nordics and hopes to use its treasury as a foundation to offer new services, such as Bitcoin backed lending.
“For K33, Bitcoin is not only a high-conviction asset — it’s also a strategic enabler,” he said. “With a sizable BTC reserve, we will be able to strengthen our financial position while unlocking new revenue streams, product capabilities, and partnerships.”
Bitcoin will be the best performing asset in the coming decade and my goal with K33 is to accumulate as many as possible while unlocking powerful operational synergies with our brokerage operation,” posted Jenssen on X.

Bitcoin treasury holdings are becoming a trend of companies in 2025. Around 217 companies and public entities now hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets.
Last week, during the 2025 Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, the CEO of GameStop Ryan Cohen announced that GameStop purchased 4,710 Bitcoin worth approximately $505 million, marking another major corporate entry into Bitcoin treasury holdings.
In an interview with the CEO of Nakamoto David Bailey, the CEO of GameStop Ryan Cohen stated, “If the thesis is correct then Bitcoin and gold as well can be a hedge against global currency devaluation and systemic risk. Bitcoin has certain unique advantages better than gold.”

2025-06-05 05:26:29合わないひとがいたら「1文字目がEすぎる」って思うけど、もしかしたら1文字目がEなのに、生まれ持った要素(見た目とか、声とか、環境とか)のせいでEを発揮しにくい場合、特有のしんどさがあるのかな。自分はIだから経験して無いけど。でも、IやEが生まれ持った要素によって決まっていったのかもしれないし、どんなにEを発揮しにくい要素があってもそれでもなおEなのかもしれないし、どっちが先とかは分からず、ただ現状が存在するのだった。しかも、これは考察にすぎなくて、実際1対1の人間として触れ合ったら、Eのひとの本質と自分(対話相手)の間に「対人ジェル」みたいなものが挟まると思うし、その1文字目がEのひとをどう思うかは、そのジェル越しの印象でいいんだから、対話する前から考察だけで見限ってはいけない、ということを忘れたくない。
When I meet someone who doesn’t quite click with me, I sometimes think, "They're just too much of an E." But then again, maybe there’s a situation where someone has an E personality but their innate qualities—like their appearance, voice, or even their environment—make it harder for them to fully express that E side. Maybe that creates a certain kind of frustration that I haven’t experienced myself, since I’m an I. It’s possible that someone’s I or E is influenced by these factors, and no matter how difficult it is to show their E, they still might be an E deep down. Who knows which came first—the person’s inherent qualities or the E/I trait? Ultimately, I think it’s just about that person as they are right now.
Also, this is just a theory, because in real-life interactions, I think there’s always something like a "social gel" between the true essence of an E person and me (the one engaging with them). How I perceive someone with an E personality should come through that "gel," and I shouldn’t make any judgments or decisions before actually interacting with them. I don’t want to forget it.

Canadian Company SolarBank Adopts Bitcoin Treasury StrategyToday, SolarBank Corporation (NASDAQ: SUUN), a leader in distributed solar energy, battery storage, and clean energy infrastructure across North America, has announced the integration of Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset into its corporate treasury strategy, following the footsteps of MicroStrategy and SharpLink Gaming.
SolarBank has also applied to open an institutional account with Coinbase Prime (NASDAQ: COIN), enabling secure Bitcoin custody, USDC services, and a self-custodial wallet for its Bitcoin holdings.
JUST IN: North American construction engineering company SolarBank adopts a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
pic.twitter.com/b2xvVARjZZ
— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) June 3, 2025
The company cited several strategic advantages for adopting Bitcoin as a reserve asset:
- Financial Resilience: Bitcoin holdings will serve as a hedge against inflation and currency debasement.
- Clean Energy Off-set: Emissions tied to Bitcoin mining will be counterbalanced by SolarBank’s renewable energy generation.
- Market Appeal: The move targets tech-savvy investors interested in digital assets, DeFi, and blockchain.
- Competitive Differentiation: SolarBank aims to differentiate itself as a first-mover in combining renewable energy with Web3 and DeFi principles.
“As the adoption of Bitcoin continues to grow, SolarBank believes that establishing a Bitcoin treasury strategy taps into a growing sector that is seeing increasing adoption,” commented Dr. Richard Lu. “In a world of ever-increasing energy demand and treasury complexity, SolarBank delivers renewable energy solutions and recurring revenues, now combined with all of the benefits of holding Bitcoin.”
SolarBank further emphasized that its core focus remains on renewable energy development, highlighting several recent achievements:
- A $100 million U.S. solar deal with CIM Group targeting 97 MW of projects.
- A $49.5 million agreement with Qcells to deploy US made solar technology.
- A $41 million partnership with Honeywell to develop landfill-based solar farms.
- A $25 million credit facility from RBC to expand its battery energy storage portfolio.
With over 1 GW of projects in development and partnerships with Fortune 500 companies, SolarBank continues to generate recurring revenues through long-term contracts while accelerating decarbonization efforts.
“The actual timing and value of Bitcoin purchases, under the allocation strategy will be determined by management,” stated the company in the press release. “Purchases will also depend on several factors, including, among others, general market and business conditions, the trading price of Bitcoin and the anticipated cash needs of SolarBank. The allocation strategy may be suspended, discontinued or modified at any time for any reason. As of the date of this press release, no Bitcoin purchases have been made.”

@ d9a329af:bef580d7
2025-06-04 18:09:31This one is rather straightforward today, as I wanted to write something on the software I personally use in my day-to-day musical composition deal, depending on what needs to be done. I want to go a little in depth in this regard, so bear with me on this one.
For the first stop on this libreware-riddled pilgramage, the operating system.
There are two I'll be mentioning: one for beginners, and the one I use on a day-to-day basis (my daily driver).
- Linux Mint
- Fun Fact: This was my longest-running daily driver for a while (over a year or two and some change) before I switched to my current one (based upon Arch, an advanced distro)
- Beginner friendly (based upon Ubuntu, Debian if using LMDE)
- Usually works OOTB when it's set up for music production (with some exceptions on some software)
- Versatile multimedia distribution (gaming, music, art, creative writing, etc.)
- Software is old, but the distro is rock-solid.
Linux Mint... the classic choice for a popular distro aimed at GNU/Linux beginners. It's the most popular of them all, especially when it comes to Snap-free protest distros (Pop_OS! is another one that's Snap-free), and the most popular in general. It's a general-purpose OS aimed at easing beginners into Linux, and the wider FLOSS community (FLOSS is an acronym for Free/Libre Open-Source Software) of software made available using licensed like GPL, MIT, MPL, Apache-2, BSD, WTFPL, and many more of the like.
I would personally recommend the Debian Edition (LMDE) and use the Debian Testing repositories if you want up-to-date software, and not bleeding edge for APT (the package manager in Debian and Ubuntu). It will be much easier to learn how to add software repositories with a couple commands in the terminal that way, and this knowledge will transcend if you decide to move to vanilla Debian. However, if you want the Cinnamon Desktop Environment, Linux Mint is a good choice, as its developers are behind Cinnamon (It has the looks of Windows Vista, which is why it's so familiar for those switching from Windows). However, there isn't too much software in the Mint, Debian and Ubuntu repos, which is a bummer (you can just find community-maintained repos or build software from source if you have the know-how).
- CachyOS
- Fun Fact: It's my current daily driver (if you couldn't tell by now).
- Arch-based distribution focused on content creation (vibe emanation as some Nostriches call it), gaming and other multimedia work
- Optimized repositories depending on the CPU architecture family (I have V3 repos enabled, since I use a CPU that supports V3)
- Bleeding edge of software packaging
- Packages (both official and community maintained) out the wazoo (80k+ packages in the AUR [Arch User Repository], with some AUR packages in binary form thanks to the Chaotic AUR repo)
CachyOS... the gamer's Arch that even beats out the likes of EndeavourOS and Garuda Linux (both Arch-based gaming distros). This is thanks in part to the optimizations made to vanilla Arch (especially the optimized repositories based upon what CPU you have installed) among many other things done to it under the hood. However, while it is fantastic for gaming, the other multimedia performances are quite a sight to behold, especially since anybody worth their salt is using almost exclusively FLOSS to make things easier for yourself to escape the grasp of incompetent fools that we call politicians. Using Linux, FLOSS and GrapheneOS (the only acceptable AOSP ROM) will help you kickstart your journey to privacy, security and proper OPSEC protocols so you don't get sucked into the proprietary software matrix (which I explained in this article).
As a Linux user with almost 5 years of experience, it's hard for me to go back to proprietary stuff. After all, with the advancement in weaponized and centralized AI on the rise, I wanted to seriously get myself out of that (which is why I used almost exclusively FLOSS for the past 4+ years). Enough about that already, let's get into the software required for you to make music... oh wait, I'm talking about myself here. Whoops....
Now that the operating system is out of the way, let's get into the actual software I use to make music:
- Ardour (DAW)
- x42 Plugins (General Purpose Plugin Suite)
- LSP PLugins (General Purpose Plugin Suite)
- Sfizz (SFZ player)
- Dragonfly Reverb (Reverberation Plugin Suite)
- DeBess (Airwindows De-Esser)
- Noise Repellant (Noise Gate)
- Guitarix and GX Plugins (Guitar Pedalboard Simulation)
- Vital (Synth Plugin)
- Surge XT (Synth Plugin) [Unused]
- EQ10Q (No longer usable)
- CALF Plugins (No Longer Usable)
- DSK SF2 (I used this due to ACE Fluid Synth acting like a turd)
- DR-84 (Proprietary Drum Machine Plugin [Winblows])
These are the primary pieces of software that I use to make music on Linux, with the description as shown above. This article would be too long anyway if I were to explain them, so I'll leave that here.

2025-06-04 18:03:00I often hear "bitcoin doesn't interest me, I'm not a finance person."
Ironically, the beauty of sound money is you don't have to be. In the current system you're expected to manage a diversified investment portfolio or pay someone to do it. Bitcoin will make that optional.
— ODELL (@ODELL) September 16, 2018
At first glance bitcoin often appears overwhelming to newcomers. It is incredibly easy to get bogged down in the details of how it works or different ways to use it. Enthusiasts, such as myself, often enjoy going down the deep rabbit hole of the potential of bitcoin, possible pitfalls and theoretical scenarios, power user techniques, and the developer ecosystem. If your first touch point with bitcoin is that type of content then it is only natural to be overwhelmed. While it is important that we have a thriving community of bitcoiners dedicated to these complicated tasks - the true beauty of bitcoin lies in its simplicity. Bitcoin is simply better money. It is the best money we have ever had.
Life is complicated. Life is hard. Life is full of responsibility and surprises. Bitcoin allows us to focus on our lives while relying on a money that is simple. A money that is not controlled by any individual, company, or government. A money that cannot be easily seized or blocked. A money that cannot be devalued at will by a handful of corrupt bureaucrat who live hundreds of miles from us. A money that can be easily saved and should increase in purchasing power over time without having to learn how to "build a diversified stock portfolio" or hire someone to do it for us.
Bitcoin enables all of us to focus on our lives - our friends and family - doing what we love with the short time we have on this earth. Time is scarce. Life is complicated. Bitcoin is the most simple aspect of our complicated lives. If we spend our scarce time working then we should be able to easily save that accrued value for future generations without watching the news or understanding complicated financial markets. Bitcoin makes this possible for anyone.
Yesterday was Mother's Day. Raising a human is complicated. It is hard, it requires immense personal responsibility, it requires critical thinking, but mothers figure it out, because it is worth it. Using and saving bitcoin is simple - simply install an app on your phone. Every mother can do it. Every person can do it.
Life is complicated. Life is beautiful. Bitcoin is simple.

2025-06-04 18:02:285/27/2025, Las Vegas, NV — Sati, a Bitcoin payments app and Lightning infrastructure provider, today announced the launch of its Lightning integration with Xverse, a Bitcoin wallet used by over 1.5 million people worldwide.
Thanks to the integration, Xverse users can now send and receive sats (bitcoin’s smallest denomination) instantly over the Lightning Network with no setup, no app switching, and no custodial risk.
Initially designed in 2017, the Lightning Network has grown to become Bitcoin’s leading layer-2, with a current BTC capacity of over $465M.
Sati is now leveraging this technology to bring the world’s favorite digital currency into the pockets of 3 billion users worldwide, thanks to its powerful API integration with WhatsApp.
“Bitcoin was not meant to be an asset for Wall Street—it was built for peer-to-peer money, borderless and accessible,” said Felipe Servin, Founder and CEO of Sati.
“Integrating Lightning natively into Xverse brings that vision back to life, making Bitcoin usable at scale for billions.”
Thanks to the integration, every Xverse user now gets a Lightning Address instantly.
That means they can receive tips, pay invoices, and use Bitcoin for microtransactions—all without having to manage channels or switch between different apps.
Sati expects USDT on Lightning to be supported as early as Q3 for the Xverse wallet and in July 2025 for users accessing Sati through WhatsApp.
This integration positions Sati’s role as a Lightning infrastructure provider, not just a consumer app.
By leveraging its API-based solution, the company provides plug-and-play backend services to wallets and platforms looking to add Bitcoin payments without compromising on security or UX.
The Xverse launch follows the debut of Parasite Pool, a new mining pool leveraging Sati and Xverse’s tech stack and focused on democratizing Bitcoin mining.
Parasite Pool charges 0% fees and pays out instantly over Lightning, making it ideal for small-scale miners, especially those running ultra-low-power hardware like Bitaxe.
With over 500 users joining Parasite Pool within weeks of launch and an average pool hashrate of 5 PH/s, Parasite Pool is steadily growing its presence in the home mining space.
Thanks to the Lightning integration, Parasite Pool supports the smallest Lightning payouts in the industry (a fraction of a cent), lowering the barrier to entry for anyone interested in mining.
Sati recently closed a $600K pre-seed round backed by Bitcoin-focused investors, including Draper Associates, BitcoinFi, Arcanum, BoostVC, and Ricardo Salinas.
The funding is being used to support global expansion, stablecoin integration, Lightning infrastructure growth, and broader access to Bitcoin in emerging markets.

2025-06-04 17:45:051. Einleitung
Dieser Beitrag bietet eine detaillierte Einführung in Nostr - ein dezentrales Protokoll für soziale Medien, das sich grundlegend von traditionellen und föderierten Plattformen unterscheidet - und erweitert seine Diskussion, um das Potenzial für die Integration von Nostr in die Entwicklung von Bildungsplattformen im Sinne von Open Educational Practices (OEP) zu untersuchen. Nostr ist als leichtgewichtiger, zensurresistenter Mechanismus konzipiert, der in erster Linie auf einer kryptografischen Schlüsselverwaltung und einer Client-zentrierten Architektur basiert, die zusammen eine dezentrale Identitätskontrolle und Autonomie über digitale Inhalte ermöglichen. Im Gegensatz zu konventionellen zentralisierten Modellen, die sich auf servergestützte Kontrolle oder föderierte Systeme wie Mastodon, die Moderation und Identitätsspeicherung zusammenfassen, stützt sich Nostr auf ein Netzwerk von "Relais", die ohne direkte Interkommunikation arbeiten, wobei alle Funktionen der Datenaggregation, des Austauschs von Inhalten zwischen den Räumen und der Benutzerinteraktion an die Client-Anwendungen delegiert werden. Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es daher, einen umfassenden technischen und konzeptionellen Überblick über die Architektur des Protokolls und eine kritische Diskussion seiner Anwendbarkeit im Kontext dezentraler Bildungsplattformen zu geben, die eine offene, nutzergesteuerte Erstellung, Verwaltung und Verteilung von Inhalten fördern und damit den Prinzipien des OEP entsprechen.
2. Hintergrund und Motivation
Die Entwicklung der sozialen Medien in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten war geprägt von zunehmend zentralisierten Plattformen, die sowohl die digitale Identität der Nutzer als auch die von ihnen erstellten Inhalte kontrollieren, was oft zu Zensur, algorithmischer Manipulation und Einzelausfällen führt. Im Gegensatz dazu haben sich dezentralisierte Social-Media-Protokolle wie Nostr als innovative Antwort auf diese Zentralisierungsfallen entwickelt, die offene, kryptografisch sichere und verteilte Architekturen verwenden. Nostr wurde mit dem ausdrücklichen Schwerpunkt konzipiert, den Nutzern die volle Kontrolle über ihre Kontoauthentifizierung und digitale Identität zu geben, was durch die Verwaltung von kryptografischen Schlüsselpaaren analog zu denen in Bitcoin-Wallets erreicht wird. Dieses Modell verbessert nicht nur die zensurresistenten Eigenschaften der Plattform, sondern verändert auch grundlegend die Machtdynamik in traditionellen sozialen Netzwerken, da es die Abhängigkeit von zentralen Behörden minimiert und die Möglichkeiten der Ausbeutung und Überwachung verringert. Im Kontext von Bildungsökosystemen bieten diese Merkmale eine solide Grundlage für die Entwicklung von Plattformen, die transparent, partizipatorisch und widerstandsfähig sind, da sie die gemeinsame Nutzung und kontinuierliche Weiterentwicklung von Bildungsressourcen ohne zentralisierte Kontrolle oder Unternehmenssteuerung unterstützen.
3. Technische Architektur von Nostr
Die Architektur von Nostr basiert in erster Linie auf zwei integralen Komponenten: Clients und Relays. Clients sind die benutzerseitigen Anwendungen, die die Erstellung, Veröffentlichung und Aggregation von Inhalten ermöglichen, während Relays Server sind, die von den Benutzern generierte Nachrichten, so genannte "Events", empfangen, speichern und weiterleiten. Eine der wichtigsten Neuerungen des Nostr-Protokolls ist die radikale Entkopplung der traditionellen Client-Server-Beziehung: Die Relais müssen sich nicht synchronisieren oder miteinander kommunizieren, was bedeutet, dass die Replikation von Inhalten und die Aggregation von Daten zwischen den Räumen vollständig auf der Client-Seite stattfindet. Dies minimiert die zentrale Kontrolle und schafft ein verteiltes, relaisbasiertes System, das von Natur aus resistent gegen Zensur ist, da die Dichte der verfügbaren Relays und die Möglichkeit der Nutzer, sich mit mehreren Relays zu verbinden, sicherstellen, dass die Inhalte auch dann zugänglich bleiben, wenn bestimmte Relays ausfallen oder kompromittiert sind.
In Nostr sind Ereignisse als JSON-Objekte strukturiert, die einem definierten Schema mit verschiedenen "Arten" (NIPs) entsprechen, um spezifische Funktionalitäten und andere zukünftige Erweiterungen zu unterstützen. Jedes Ereignis wird mit dem privaten kryptografischen Schlüssel des Nutzers digital signiert, was die Authentizität und Integrität der Daten garantiert und gleichzeitig eine sichere, pseudonyme Interaktion ermöglicht. Da innerhalb des Protokolls keine zentrale Behörde oder ein einziger Identitätsspeicher existiert, behalten die Nutzer die vollständige Kontrolle über ihre digitalen Identitäten, und wenn der private Schlüssel verloren geht, ist das entsprechende Konto unwiederbringlich. Dieser Ansatz verankert den Grundsatz, dass Identität sowohl dezentralisiert als auch unveränderlich ist, und stärkt die individuelle Kontrolle über persönliche Daten und Inhalte.
Da die Relays unabhängig voneinander von verschiedenen Betreibern verwaltet und nicht von zentralen Diensten koordiniert werden, können die Benutzer mehrere Relays auswählen, um die Bereitstellung und Replikation von Inhalten zu optimieren. Diese architektonische Entscheidung verbessert die Redundanz und Ausfallsicherheit erheblich, bringt aber gleichzeitig technische Herausforderungen in Bezug auf Standardisierung, Moderation und effiziente Kommunikation zwischen den Clients mit sich. Nostr integriert auch Bitcoin-basierte Mikrozahlungen (bekannt als "Zaps"), um finanzielle Anreize für den Betrieb von Relay-Servern zu schaffen und so die Herausforderungen der wirtschaftlichen Nachhaltigkeit in einer dezentralen Infrastruktur zu bewältigen. Die Design-Entscheidungen in Nostr fördern Offenheit und Innovation, indem sie es jeder Person oder Organisation mit ausreichenden technischen Fähigkeiten erlauben, ein Relay zu hosten oder einen Client zu entwickeln, was zu einem lebendigen Ökosystem von verschiedenen Anwendungen und Diensten führt.
4. Identitätsmanagement und Moderation
Im Mittelpunkt des dezentralen Paradigmas von Nostr steht der Ansatz der Identitätsverwaltung, der sich von traditionellen Systemen unterscheidet, bei denen Identitäten als Kontodaten von zentralen Servern verwaltet werden. Bei Nostr verfügt jeder Benutzer über ein einzigartiges kryptografisches Schlüsselpaar, wobei der öffentliche Schlüssel als dauerhafte digitale Kennung und der private Schlüssel als Mittel zum Signieren aller Aktionen und Ereignisse dient. Dieses kryptonative Modell gewährleistet nicht nur robuste Sicherheit und Authentizität, sondern überlässt den Nutzern auch die alleinige Verantwortung für die Verwaltung ihrer Schlüssel - was sowohl die Freiheit als auch das Risiko eines vollständig dezentralen Identitätssystems unterstreicht.Dieses empfindliche Gleichgewicht unterstreicht die Autonomie der Nutzer und steht im Einklang mit dem breiteren Ethos dezentraler sozialer Medien, in denen keine einzelne Instanz die Identität einer Person ohne Zugang zu ihrem privaten Schlüssel außer Kraft setzen oder manipulieren kann.
Die Moderation in Nostr ist aufgrund des dezentralen Kuratierungsmodells noch komplexer. Die Inhalte werden nicht von einer zentralen Behörde moderiert, sondern durch eine Kombination aus relaisspezifischen Richtlinien und clientseitigen Kontrollen, wie z. B. benutzerdefinierte Listen für persönliche Kuratoren oder Sperr-/Stummschaltungsfunktionen. Dieser Ansatz fördert zwar die freie Meinungsäußerung und unterstützt eine Vielzahl von Standpunkten, kann aber auch zu uneinheitlichen Moderationsrichtlinien und fragmentierten Nutzererfahrungen auf verschiedenen Relays und Clients führen, was für die Nutzer eine erhebliche technische und verhaltensbezogene Belastung darstellt, wenn sie ihre digitalen Umgebungen kuratieren wollen.
5. Skalierbarkeit und Widerstandsfähigkeit gegen Zensur
Ein entscheidendes Merkmal des Nostr-Protokolls ist sein hohes Maß an Skalierbarkeit und Zensurresistenz, das durch seine verteilte, relaisbasierte Architektur erreicht wird. Durch die Dezentralisierung der Speicherung und Verbreitung von Inhalten auf zahlreiche unabhängige Relays entschärft Nostr die üblichen Schwachstellen zentralisierter sozialer Plattformen, wie z. B. Single Points of Failure oder das Potenzial für staatliche oder unternehmensgesteuerte Zensur. Mehrere Relays können gleichzeitig arbeiten, wodurch sichergestellt wird, dass die Stabilität des Netzwerks auch dann erhalten bleibt, wenn einige von ihnen vom Netz genommen werden oder behördlichem Druck ausgesetzt sind, und dass Inhalte für Kunden, die mit alternativen Relays verbunden sind, zugänglich bleiben.
Die Skalierbarkeit von Nostr wird dadurch verbessert, dass sich die Nutzenden gleichzeitig mit mehreren Relays verbinden können, was die Replikation von Inhalten über ein globales Netz von Servern ermöglicht, das sich über zahlreiche geografische Regionen und autonome Systeme erstreckt. Dieser Replikationsmechanismus bringt jedoch Herausforderungen mit sich, wie z. B. eine erhöhte Redundanz bei der Speicher- und Bandbreitennutzung, die eine sorgfältige Optimierung und die Entwicklung innovativer clientseitiger Strategien erfordern, um den Datenabruf zu verwalten und den Overhead zu reduzieren, ohne die Verfügbarkeit zu beeinträchtigen. Darüber hinaus trägt die Dezentralisierung der Zuständigkeiten für Kuratierung und Moderation zu einer dynamischen Umgebung bei, in der Inhalte sowohl gegen erzwungene Löschungen resistent als auch an die Bedürfnisse der Nutzer anpassbar sind, wenn auch auf Kosten von Einheitlichkeit und vorhersehbarer Nutzererfahrung.
6. Vergleich mit föderierten und zentralisierten Modellen
Das Aufkommen dezentraler Protokolle wie Nostr steht in scharfem Kontrast zu föderierten Netzwerken wie Mastodon, die das ActivityPub-Protokoll verwenden. Während föderierte Systeme die Kontrolle über unabhängige Instanzen verteilen, verlassen sie sich immer noch auf ein gewisses Maß an Zentralisierung auf der Ebene jeder einzelnen Instanz, von denen jede ihre eigenen Richtlinien bezüglich Moderation, Identitätsüberprüfung und Inhaltszensur durchsetzt. In diesen Systemen ist die Verwaltung zwar auf mehrere Knotenpunkte verteilt, aber es besteht eine Abhängigkeit von Serveradministratoren, die erhebliche Macht über den Inhalt und die Identität der Benutzer haben; dies steht im Gegensatz zu Nostrs vollständig kundenorientiertem Kurations- und Identitätsverwaltungsmodell, das darauf abzielt, jeden einzelnen Kontrollpunkt zu eliminieren.
In zentralisierten Architekturen werden Benutzerdaten und -identitäten auf proprietäre und undurchsichtige Weise verwaltet, wodurch Inhalte den Launen von Unternehmensrichtlinien und externem Druck ausgesetzt werden, was zu Überwachung, gezielter Zensur oder einseitiger algorithmischer Manipulation von Inhalten führen kann. Das Design von Nostr - das auf kryptografischer Authentifizierung, clientseitiger Datenaggregation und dem erlaubnisfreien Betrieb von Relay-Servern beruht - stellt eine radikale Abkehr dar, die das Gleichgewicht der Macht fest in die Hände der einzelnen Nutzer und nicht in die Hände zentraler Behörden legt.
7. Implikationen für Bildungsplattformen
Das Potenzial für die Integration des dezentralen Protokolls von Nostr in Bildungsplattformen bietet eine transformative Gelegenheit zur Unterstützung von Open Educational Practices (OEP). OEP legt den Schwerpunkt auf Inklusion, Autonomie der Lernenden, kollaborative Wissenserstellung und offenen Zugang zu Bildungsressourcen. Herkömmliche Bildungsplattformen sind oft durch zentralisierte Architekturen eingeschränkt, die den Zugang behindern und Innovationen unterdrücken können, da sie auf einzelne administrative Kontrollen und proprietäre Content-Management-Systeme angewiesen sind.
Durch die Nutzung der dezentralen Infrastruktur von Nostr können Bildungsplattformen aufgebaut werden, die es Lehrenden und Lernenden ermöglichen, die volle Kontrolle über ihre digitalen Identitäten und Bildungsinhalte zu behalten, ohne das Risiko von Zensur oder externer Einmischung. In solchen Systemen verwaltet jeder Teilnehmer seine eigene Identität mithilfe von kryptografischen Schlüsseln, wodurch sichergestellt wird, dass Bildungsleistungen, Beiträge und Zeugnisse auf überprüfbare und unveränderliche Weise aufgezeichnet werden. Dies fördert ein Umfeld, in dem die Schaffung und Verbreitung von Wissen wirklich von den Teilnehmern selbst bestimmt wird, frei von den Zwängen, die von zentralen Torwächtern auferlegt werden.
Darüber hinaus bietet die relaisbasierte Architektur von Nostr eine beispiellose Skalierbarkeit und Ausfallsicherheit - Eigenschaften, die für ein Bildungsökosystem, das eine Vielzahl von Nutzern mit unterschiedlichem geografischen und sozioökonomischen Hintergrund unterstützen muss, unerlässlich sind. Bildungsinhalte - von digitalen Lehrbüchern und Multimedia-Vorlesungen bis hin zu interaktiven Diskursen und gemeinschaftlichen Projekten - können gespeichert und über mehrere Relays repliziert werden, um sicherzustellen, dass der Zugang auch bei lokalen Netzwerkausfällen oder Zensurversuchen erhalten bleibt.
Das offene Protokoll von Nostr ist außerdem eine ideale Grundlage für die Entwicklung interoperabler Bildungsplattformen, auf denen Drittentwickler und Bildungseinrichtungen maßgeschneiderte Clients und Anwendungen für pädagogische Zwecke erstellen können. Dieser Ansatz fördert ein vielfältiges Ökosystem von Bildungswerkzeugen und -diensten, die nahtlos zusammenarbeiten, ohne auf eine einzige proprietäre Plattform beschränkt zu sein, und steht damit im Einklang mit dem Ethos des OEP. Pädagogen können digitale Lernumgebungen entwerfen, die die kollaborative Erstellung von Inhalten, Peer-Reviews und Community-gesteuerte Kuration unterstützen und gleichzeitig von der Sicherheit und Transparenz profitieren, die das kryptografische Grundgerüst von Nostr bietet.
Darüber hinaus gewährleistet die inhärente Zensurresistenz von Nostr, dass Bildungsinhalte zugänglich und frei von staatlichen oder unternehmerischen Eingriffen bleiben - ein besonders wichtiger Aspekt für Lernende in Regionen, in denen der Zugang zu Informationen eingeschränkt oder überwacht wird. Diese Widerstandsfähigkeit untermauert nicht nur die demokratische Verbreitung von Wissen, sondern unterstützt auch den Grundsatz eines digitalen Gemeinguts, bei dem Bildungsressourcen kollektiv verwaltet und gemeinsam genutzt werden. In diesem Zusammenhang kann Nostr genutzt werden, um Bildungsplattformen zu entwickeln, die nicht nur robust und integrativ sind, sondern auch auf die Bedürfnisse marginalisierter oder unterrepräsentierter Gemeinschaften abgestimmt sind.
Zusätzlich zu diesen strukturellen Vorteilen kann die finanzielle Nachhaltigkeit dezentraler Bildungsplattformen durch die Integration von auf Kryptowährungen basierenden Anreizmechanismen gestärkt werden - wie die Unterstützung von Nostr für Bitcoin Lightning "Zaps" zeigt. Diese Micropayment-Systeme eröffnen Möglichkeiten für neuartige Finanzierungsmodelle, die Pädagogen und Inhaltsersteller direkt belohnen und so die Abhängigkeit von werbebasierten Einnahmen oder zentralisierten Finanzierungsströmen verringern, die häufig die Integrität der Bildung gefährden. Solche wirtschaftlichen Anreize können auch den Betrieb und die Wartung von Relay-Servern unterstützen und so sicherstellen, dass die dezentrale Infrastruktur belastbar und kontinuierlich für Bildungszwecke verfügbar bleibt.
8. Möglichkeiten für kollaboratives und kultursensibles Lernen
Über die technische Stabilität und Skalierbarkeit hinaus bietet die dezentrale Natur von Nostr bedeutende Möglichkeiten zur Förderung von kollaborativem Lernen und kultursensibler Pädagogik. Dezentralisierte Bildungsplattformen, die auf Nostr aufbauen, können lokale Gemeinschaften in die Lage versetzen, Inhalte zu erstellen und zu kuratieren, die kontextuell relevant und kulturell angemessen sind - ein entscheidender Faktor bei der Förderung von Bildungsgerechtigkeit und Inklusivität. In Umgebungen, in denen Mainstream-Bildungstechnologien als von oben nach unten betrachtet werden und nicht mit lokalen Werten oder pädagogischen Ansätzen übereinstimmen, ermöglicht eine dezentralisierte Infrastruktur die Entwicklung maßgeschneiderter digitaler Lernumgebungen, die lokale Kulturen, Sprachen und Traditionen widerspiegeln.
Dieser gemeinschaftsorientierte Bildungsansatz fördert das Gefühl der Eigenverantwortung bei Lernenden und Lehrenden gleichermaßen und ermutigt zur gemeinschaftlichen Schaffung von Wissen, das unterschiedliche Erkenntnistheorien respektiert. So können Pädagogen beispielsweise dezentrale "Lernräume" einrichten, in denen Open-Source-Lernmaterialien, Werkzeuge für die digitale Kompetenz und innovative Lehrmethoden gemeinsam genutzt und durch partizipatives Engagement kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt werden. In einem solchen Modell verschwimmen die Grenzen zwischen Lernenden und Lehrenden, was einen fließenden Ideenaustausch und die gemeinsame Schaffung von Wissen ermöglicht, die im Mittelpunkt offener Bildungspraktiken stehen.
Darüber hinaus ermöglicht die Flexibilität der Client-zentrierten Architektur von Nostr die Entwicklung von spezialisierten Bildungsclients, die auf die jeweiligen Lernstile und Disziplinen zugeschnitten sind. Diese Clients könnten Funktionen wie erweiterte Such- und Filterfunktionen für Bildungsinhalte, integrierte Anmerkungswerkzeuge für die gemeinsame Bearbeitung von Dokumenten und interoperable Identitätsmanagementsysteme enthalten, die es den Lernenden ermöglichen, ihre Anmeldedaten nahtlos in verschiedene digitale Lernumgebungen zu übertragen. Solche Innovationen würden nicht nur die Rolle der Nutzerautonomie beim digitalen Lernen stärken, sondern auch die Entwicklung von Bildungsnetzwerken fördern, die belastbar und anpassungsfähig sind und auf die sich verändernden pädagogischen Herausforderungen reagieren können.
9. Herausforderungen und Abhilfestrategien
Trotz der vielversprechenden Möglichkeiten ist die Integration von Nostr in Bildungsplattformen nicht unproblematisch. Gerade die Funktionen, die den Nutzern mehr Möglichkeiten bieten - wie selbstverwaltete kryptografische Schlüssel und dezentralisierte Inhaltsmoderation - führen auch Komplexitäten ein, die die Benutzerfreundlichkeit und Zugänglichkeit behindern können, insbesondere für Personen ohne fortgeschrittene technische Kenntnisse. Die Schlüsselverwaltung stellt beispielsweise eine kritische Schwachstelle dar; der Verlust eines privaten Schlüssels führt unwiderruflich zum Verlust der Identität und des Zugriffs auf die eigenen digitalen Beiträge - ein Risiko, das durch solide Bildungsinitiativen und Mechanismen zur Unterstützung der Nutzer angegangen werden muss.
Die technische Kompetenz von Lehrenden und Lernenden ist in diesem Zusammenhang von größter Bedeutung und erfordert die Entwicklung umfassender Einführungsverfahren, benutzerfreundlicher Schnittstellen und Hilfsmittel, die kryptografische Konzepte entmystifizieren und die Interaktion mit dezentralen Netzwerken vereinfachen. Zu diesem Zweck könnte der Einsatz intuitiver Bildungsmodule, interaktiver Tutorials und von der Community geleiteter Schulungen technische Barrieren abbauen und gleichzeitig die Entwicklung digitaler Kompetenzen fördern, die für die Navigation in dezentralen Netzwerken unerlässlich sind. Darüber hinaus muss die Herausforderung einer inkonsistenten Moderation und fragmentierten Nutzererfahrung aufgrund der heterogenen Richtlinien unabhängiger Relais und Clients durch die Einrichtung von Community-Governance-Rahmenwerken und interoperablen Standards angegangen werden, die eine Grundlinie der Qualität und Sicherheit auf der gesamten Plattform gewährleisten.
Strategien zur Bewältigung des mit der Skalierbarkeit verbundenen Overheads - wie etwa die redundante Replikation von Beiträgen über eine übermäßige Anzahl von Relays - sollten sich auf die Implementierung clientseitiger Optimierungstechniken konzentrieren, die die Ineffizienz von Bandbreite und Speicherplatz verringern, ohne die Belastbarkeit und Zugänglichkeit des Netzwerks zu beeinträchtigen. Kontinuierliche Forschung und iterative Verfeinerung werden notwendig sein, um ein Gleichgewicht zwischen den Vorteilen der Dezentralisierung und der ihr innewohnenden betrieblichen Komplexität zu finden und sicherzustellen, dass auf Nostr basierende Bildungsplattformen sowohl robust als auch benutzerfreundlich bleiben können.
10. Zukünftige Richtungen und Forschungsmöglichkeiten
Die Einbindung von Nostr in Bildungsplattformen stellt ein fruchtbares Gebiet für Forschung und Entwicklung dar, das zahlreiche Möglichkeiten zur Erkundung bietet. Zukünftige Arbeiten könnten das Design interoperabler Bildungsrahmenwerke erforschen, die die dezentrale Architektur von Nostr mit aufkommenden Technologien wie künstlicher Intelligenz, Blockchain-basiertem Credentialing und fortschrittlichen kryptographischen Techniken integrieren, um die Sicherheit, Zugänglichkeit und Authentizität in digitalen Lernumgebungen weiter zu verbessern. Die Erforschung gemeinschaftsbasierter Governance-Modelle ist ebenfalls gerechtfertigt, da dezentrale Plattformen Mechanismen für die kollektive Entscheidungsfindung und Konfliktlösung erfordern, die mit den Grundsätzen einer offenen, partizipativen Bildung vereinbar sind.
Ein möglicher Weg ist die Entwicklung modularer, quelloffener Bildungs-Clients, die sich nahtlos mit verschiedenen Relais verbinden lassen und den Lehrkräften leistungsstarke Tools zur Kuratierung und Moderation von Inhalten bieten. Diese Clients könnten anpassbare Dashboards, Module für die Zusammenarbeit in Echtzeit und integrierte Unterstützung für Mikrozahlungen oder Anreizstrukturen bieten, um sicherzustellen, dass Bildungsinhalte sowohl dynamisch als auch finanziell nachhaltig bleiben. Darüber hinaus könnte die Einrichtung digitaler Identitätsrahmen, die auf den kryptografischen Prinzipien von Nostr aufbauen, zu innovativen Modellen für die Überprüfung akademischer Zeugnisse, die Verfolgung des Lernfortschritts und die Erleichterung der plattformübergreifenden Anerkennung von Bildungsleistungen führen, und das alles ohne die Aufsicht zentralisierter Registrierungsbehörden.
Die Schnittstelle zwischen digitaler Kompetenz und ethischer digitaler Bürgerschaft ist ein weiteres vielversprechendes Forschungsgebiet. In dem Maße, in dem Pädagogen dezentrale Bildungstechnologien in die Lehrpläne integrieren, wird es zwingend notwendig, Lehrmethoden zu entwickeln, die nicht nur technische Kenntnisse, sondern auch die kritischen und moralischen Fähigkeiten vermitteln, die für die Arbeit in einem dezentralen digitalen Ökosystem erforderlich sind. Solche pädagogischen Strategien sollten Schulungen zum Schlüsselmanagement, zur Verifizierung digitaler Identitäten und zum Verständnis der Kompromisse umfassen, die mit dezentralisierten und zentralisierten Technologiemodellen einhergehen, um den Schülern eine ausgewogene Perspektive auf digitale Rechte, Verantwortlichkeiten und Möglichkeiten zu vermitteln.
Die Zusammenarbeit zwischen akademischen Institutionen, Open-Source-Gemeinschaften und Innovatoren dezentraler Technologien wird entscheidend sein, um diese Forschungsagenden voranzutreiben und die Entwicklung von Bildungslabors und Pilotprojekten zu fördern, die die praktischen Auswirkungen und Vorteile dezentraler Bildungsplattformen auf der Grundlage von Nostr erforschen. Solche Initiativen könnten als lebende Laboratorien zum Testen neuer Werkzeuge, Methoden und Governance-Strategien dienen, mit dem Ziel, das Gleichgewicht zwischen dem Versprechen der Dezentralisierung und ihren praktischen Herausforderungen schrittweise zu verfeinern.
11. Schlußfolgerung
Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass Nostr eine bahnbrechende Entwicklung in der Architektur sozialer Medien darstellt, die die Beziehung zwischen Nutzern, Inhalten und Netzwerkinfrastruktur durch ein dezentralisiertes, kryptographisch gesichertes und klientenzentriertes Modell neu definiert. Das relaisbasierte Design, die dezentrale Identitätsverwaltung und die offene Architektur bieten erhebliche Vorteile gegenüber herkömmlichen zentralisierten und föderierten Systemen in Bezug auf Zensurresistenz, Skalierbarkeit und Benutzerautonomie. Diese technischen Innovationen haben weitreichende Auswirkungen auf die Entwicklung von Bildungsplattformen, die den Grundsätzen der Open Educational Practices entsprechen. Durch die Unterstützung von nutzergesteuerten Identitäten, stabiler Replikation von Inhalten und gemeinschaftsgesteuerter Verwaltung bietet Nostr eine Infrastruktur für dezentrale Bildungsökosysteme, die Inklusion, Zusammenarbeit und kontinuierliche Innovation fördern.
Der Einsatz von Nostr in Bildungskontexten verspricht, Lernende und Lehrende in die Lage zu versetzen, Bildungsinhalte frei von zentralisierten Einschränkungen und externer Zensur zu erstellen, zu teilen und gemeinschaftlich weiterzuentwickeln. Gleichzeitig erfordern die Herausforderungen, die mit der technischen Komplexität, der Schlüsselverwaltung und der inkonsistenten Moderation verbunden sind, kontinuierliche Forschung und die Entwicklung unterstützender Werkzeuge. Wenn diese Probleme durch gezielte Maßnahmen wie benutzerfreundliche Schnittstellen, umfassende Programme für digitale Kompetenz und gemeinschaftsbasierte Governance-Modelle angegangen werden, können die Beteiligten das volle Potenzial von Nostr nutzen, um dezentrale, offene und partizipative Bildungsplattformen zu schaffen, die den Geist von Open Educational Practices wirklich verkörpern.
Letztendlich stellt die Integration von Nostr in dezentralisierte Bildungsplattformen nicht nur eine technische Entwicklung dar, sondern auch einen gesellschaftspolitischen Wandel hin zu größerer Dezentralisierung, Ermächtigung der Nutzer und digitaler Souveränität. Diese Ausrichtung an den Werten des OEP definiert nicht nur die Verbreitung und den Konsum von Bildungsinhalten neu, sondern ist auch Katalysator für breitere Diskussionen über digitale Rechte, Inklusion und ethische Teilhabe an der digitalen Allmende. Das Potenzial solcher Plattformen, kontextrelevante, zensurresistente und kollaborativ kuratierte Bildungsressourcen bereitzustellen, ist ein entscheidender Schritt, um die Zukunft der digitalen Bildung neu zu gestalten.
Fazit
Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass die innovative Architektur von Nostr, die auf einer kryptografischen Schlüsselverwaltung und dezentralen Relay-Netzwerken basiert, den Grundstein für eine neue Generation von Bildungsplattformen legt, die die Einschränkungen zentralisierter Systeme überwinden können. Ihre Fähigkeit, belastbare, sichere und nutzerzentrierte digitale Umgebungen bereitzustellen, steht in perfektem Einklang mit den Grundsätzen offener Bildungspraktiken und bietet Lehrenden und Lernenden eine noch nie dagewesene Kontrolle über ihre digitalen Interaktionen und Inhalte. Kontinuierliche Forschung, interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit und gezielte Bildungsinitiativen werden unerlässlich sein, um dieses Potenzial voll auszuschöpfen und sicherzustellen, dass die Vorteile der Dezentralisierung allen Mitgliedern der Bildungsgemeinschaft zugänglich sind.
Durch den strategischen Einsatz von Nostr-basierten Bildungsplattformen kann die Zukunft des Lernens als ein Bereich neu konzipiert werden, in dem offener Zugang, Autonomie der Lernenden und gemeinschaftsgesteuerte Wissensbildung nicht nur möglich, sondern unvermeidlich sind - eine Zukunft, in der dezentrale Infrastrukturen eine gerechtere, transparentere und partizipativere digitale Bildungslandschaft ermöglichen.
Dieser Beitrag hat daher eine ausführliche Einführung in die technischen und konzeptionellen Grundlagen von Nostr gegeben, die Mechanismen beschrieben, mit denen Nostr Dezentralisierung und Zensurresistenz erreicht, und seine bedeutenden Auswirkungen auf die Zukunft von Bildungsplattformen im Rahmen von Open Educational Practices untersucht. Die Synergie zwischen dem dezentralen Paradigma von Nostr und dem demokratischen, inklusiven Ethos von OEP birgt ein transformatives Versprechen für die Neugestaltung der digitalen Bildung in einer Weise, die Offenheit, Sicherheit und lebenslanges Lernen für eine globale Gemeinschaft fördert.
Indem sie aufkommende dezentralisierte Protokolle wie Nostr als grundlegende Infrastrukturkomponenten von Bildungsplattformen nutzen, können Stakeholder eine ganzheitliche digitale Transformation vorantreiben, die Technologie, Pädagogik und Ethik vereint und ein Paradigma einführt, in dem Bildungsgerechtigkeit und digitale Selbstbestimmung keine Wünsche, sondern realisierte Prinzipien unserer vernetzten Gesellschaft sind.

2025-06-04 17:09:47I know most of you aren't doing this but I hope this is helpful when talking to your friends and family about bitcoin. Specifically if they bring up Orange Man or have real issues with him.
First off we can see that most of the MAGA / Political Bitcoin cheer-leading is exclusively SoV/NGU and not freedom money. Its basically the crypto types. The shitcoiners. The scammers. I get why this will turn off people that don't love the orange man. I recently heard a technical podcaster say he didn't like being associated with bitcoin (though he said crypto and his co-host is a bitcoin only guy...). I'm here to tell you that's dumb.
Why? I know how dumb it is by experience. Back in the day I was a kid listening to Rush Limbaugh and he was destroying the sky is falling claims I was hearing in government schools. I used to come home freaking out about global warming and the destruction of the rain forests. This was in the 90s btw. Looking back on what Limbaugh said, he's been proven largely right. But that isn't my point. My point is that because of this and because of how dumb many of the environmentalists takes were, I ignored many environmental issues. I would turn off people that called themselves environmentalists. This was a mistake. I was ignoring many other problems with how we use resources and used weak reasoning on others. I seeded caring for the environment to the left. I let myself be sidelined by reactionary thinking.
A few years ago I learned about the Permaculture[^1] way of thinking and it kinda blew my mind. A guy named Jack Spirko said something that stuck with me. Everyone should be an environmentalist. At least to the extent that they care about the planet we all share. Of course we all know this but it flipped a switch in my head. I'd allowed myself to be a reactionary on the environment and harm humans do to the air, water, and soil as well as the creatures. I always cared about these things but it too a dude that I aligned with on many topics to snap me out of my programming.
I think a similar thing can happen with Bitcoin. Don't be reactionary. Just because some people you don't align with or like do like a thing... it doesn't mean that thing is bad. They could be representing it incorrectly. Bitcoin, if it truly is money is apolitical. Now, we can get into economics and dive into the deep end about hard money but the fact is that bitcoin shouldn't really be political in the sense of US politics on the ground. If you are just a voter or pleb you should be adopting bitcoin no matter what any politician says. The republicans and democrats are not that different on many topics and the MAGA movement is just pandering. Don't let the Orange Man turn you off from bitcoin. Don't let the number go up people turn you off. There are people living under oppressive regimes all over the globe that can be helped by bitcoin. We may need it in the US. Don't sleep on this because of a clown. Don't be dumb. Its a great way to stay poor and vulnerable.

2025-06-04 17:02:24Will not live in a pod.

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

2025-06-04 13:54:37The last Empire: the Final Days of the Soviet Union
Serhii Plokhy clearly writes from a Ukrainian perspective, but at no point does he allow his bias to interfere with an extensive and compelling documentation, filled with transcripts and official documents from both the Soviet and American sides—documents involving actors who transitioned from the final days of the Soviet Union to the formation of the new Russian Federation.
I discovered this book through a Lex Fridman podcast, where the author gives a review of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, explaining in rich detail the events experienced between both nations. I won’t say that what’s happening in this region is easy to understand, and yet, after reading this book, I have no doubt that all of this was foreseeable.
Here are some things I’ve learned from the book—without giving away spoilers or going too deep:
The United States opposed the disintegration of the Soviet Union until the very last hours
Contrary to popular belief and Reagan’s lofty slogans about the Evil Empire, the advisers of President George H. W. Bush—except for Dick Cheney and his inner circle—were against the dissolution and extinction of the Soviet Union. There were two simple reasons: nuclear power and nationalism.
Over the years, the USSR produced tons of nuclear arsenal, and if the country were to dissolve, advisers on both sides predicted a “nuclear Yugoslavia,” referring to the imminent conflicts in that region. The other reason was strategic: it’s easier to deal with one large country than with many separate republics sharing similar ethnic backgrounds. After reading this book, the Balkan Wars seem even more closely tied to the consequences of the Soviet breakup. You’ll draw your own conclusions when you read it.
The Cold War is in pause mode
In some movie I once heard the phrase, The war doesn’t end until both sides declare it over; while it’s true that Gorbachev resigned on December 25 and made way for the Russian Federation, he never officially ended the geopolitical maneuvers. Meanwhile, George Bush gave a speech declaring that they had “won the Cold War.”
Anyway. Have you read anything similar to this?

SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce Speaks On Privacy And Permissionlessness At PubKeyYesterday, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce sat down for a fireside chat with NYDIG founder Ross Stevens at New York City’s Bitcoin-themed bar PubKey.
The two traversed a number of topics during their discussion, including why it’s important that the world has a permissionless network and asset like Bitcoin as well as why transactional privacy should be a right for U.S. citizens.
Peirce didn’t mince words during the discussion, yet she also spoke with nuance and thoughtfulness as she responded to questions from not only Stevens but from members of the audience during a Q&A session, as well.
On Permissionlessness
Toward the onset of the talk, Peirce highlighted the fact that Bitcoin is a tool for freedom fighters as part of a broader theme of why it’s crucial that permissionless technology like Bitcoin exists.
She said that she often thinks about what it would have been like if someone like Harriet Tubman had had Bitcoin.
Stevens then posed a question about the risk of a situation in which a U.S. president issues an executive order that authorizes the government to confiscate U.S. citizens’ bitcoin, like the way Executive Order 6102 enabled the government to seize U.S. citizens’ gold in 1933.
Peirce admitted that “it’s still possible for an Executive Order like 6102 to happen in the U.S.,” and made the case that it’s up to us to remain vigilant so as not to permit something like this to happen again.
“To protect ourselves from something like Executive Order 6102, we must reaffirm the founding principles of America and hold the government accountable to those principles,” said the commissioner.
Stevens added that some of Bitcoin’s qualities, such as the ability to store one’s seed phrase in one’s mind, make it more resistant to seizure than gold and, therefore, a better freedom-preserving technology. (The topic of owning actual bitcoin, or holding one’s own bitcoin private keys, as a means of embracing the true nature of Bitcoin as a permissionless technology versus having bitcoin exposure via spot bitcoin ETFs or through custodians arose at many points in the discussion.)
Further along in the discussion, Peirce stressed the importance of the U.S. government continuing to view code as speech, a topic that Stevens brought up and has written extensively about.
“It’s important as regulators for us to treat code as speech,” began Peirce.
“Otherwise, developers would have to check their code with the government before publishing it,” she added, before also noting that developers having to do this could stifle and undermine their ability to publish open-source software.
On Privacy
Halfway through the talk, Stevens asked Peirce if Americans should be free to use crypto mixers.
Before directly commenting on the matter, Peirce spoke more broadly to the concept of financial privacy and that it seems to be of little concern to most U.S. citizens.
“It’s remarkable to me how little people care about financial privacy,” said Peirce. “It’s very personal how you spend your money — and we’ve ceded so much privacy.”
Regarding crypto mixers more specifically, Peirce stated that she believes Americans have a right to use such technology.
“There’s supposed to be a presumption of innocence in this country,” she said. “Technologies that allow you to do things on chain but also allow you to preserve privacy are really important.”
At the beginning of the Q&A portion of the event, Thomas Pacchia, the bar’s owner, highlighted the dangers of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) in that it mandates that users turn over significant amounts of personal data to financial institutions and asked what the odds were of one day seeing the act repealed.
Peirce agreed with Pacchia that there is great risk in financial institutions holding so much of their customers’ data but pointed out that the idea of repealing the BSA is a point of deep contention in Washington, D.C.
“Really bad things can happen if a centralized financial institution has a lot of information about you, but it’s such a third rail in D.C. to talk about the Bank Secrecy Act because of the fear that bad actors will rush in,” said Peirce.
Listening Intently
Peirce has stated a number of times, most recently at Bitcoin 2025, that she believes that the U.S. government works for the American people.
It’s clear that this isn’t just hot air or a talking point, as evidenced by how carefully she listens to the questions posed to her and how thoughtful her responses to said questions are.
For example, I asked Commissioner Peirce if there was any chance we might eventually see in-kind redemptions for the spot bitcoin ETFs for retail investors.
While she admitted that it’s “unlikely,” she offered me some space to make my case for why they’re important and concluded the exchange with me by stating that she’d “give it some more thought.”
She responded to Stevens and to each member of the audience who posed a question with the same type of care and consideration, which seemed to be appreciated as she broached topics as sensitive as having the legal right to hold one’s Bitcoin keys and to transact with bitcoin privately.
Peirce also seemed genuinely concerned about making sure that regulators don’t get in the way of Bitcoin and crypto fulfilling their promise as both freedom technology and an alternative to the traditional financial and monetary systems.
“I’m concerned that we’ll stunt growth if we do things the wrong way,” Peirce concluded, eliciting a warm round of applause from the Bitcoin enthusiasts in attendance.

2025-06-04 13:21:20It is hard going through difficult situations. Health problems, family problems, financial problems, feeling alone, feeling stuck in the wrong place, and persecution are all situations that Christians regularly find themselves. The question is “How will we respond to pain?”
Advice for the Suffering
Some Christians pull away from God when it feels like everything is going wrong. They think God doesn’t care or can’t fix things. They resent every minute of pain and accuse God of wrongdoing. Even Job, who fell on his face in worship after losing everything had a moment of weakness.
“Oh that my grief were actually weighed\ And laid in the balances together with my calamity!\ For then it would be heavier than the sand of the seas;\ Therefore my words have been rash.” (Job 6:2-3) {emphasis mine}
After a moment of doubt, he did, however, repent of his rash words, as should we all.
Job should be an example to us all in dealing with pain and difficult situations. This is the verse that inspired this post.
But it is still my consolation,\ And I rejoice in unsparing pain,\ That I have not denied the words of the Holy One. \ (Job 6:10) {emphasis mine}
What an example! “I rejoice in unsparing pain.” When we trust God so much that we can rejoice in unsparing pain, we are trusting God as we should. We are accepting that God is working good in our life and we can trust Him even when nothing makes sense to us.
I also love how he says that his consolation is that “I have not denied the words of the Holy One.” Job is hurting terribly. His heart is broken. He is destitute. He lost 8 children in one day. His friends, that came to console him, have instead accused him of wrongdoing. He doesn’t understand what God is doing and why, but he has “NOT denied the words of the Holy One.” He is still putting his faith in God and his word. He is still submitting to God when he feels mistreated. He is still trusting \ God, even when he doesn’t understand what God is doing and why so many bad things are raining down on him in a torrent. Despite it all, he refuses to deny God. I hope if I am ever put through similar situations, that I can trust God and not deny His goodness.
Advice for friends
The book of Job, in addition to advice to those who are suffering, also gives advice to friends of those who are suffering. (or maybe more accurately, what not to do)
Job’s friends came with the intention to encourage and console Job. Every time Job would confess his thoughts, concerns, and questions, the response by his friends would get harsher and harsher. In the beginning they were gentle corrections, but they quickly escalated to accusing Job of great sins, that they had to know were not true, and blaming Job for every hard thing that had happened to him.
I’ve talked to other Christians who have confessed to being dragged down by other Christians who would tell them that every difficult thing that happened to them was due to their sin or lack of faith. In the case of Job, his difficulties were due to his faithfulness, in order to prove to Satan and all of history that a faithful man would stay faithful to God in good times and in bad.
Can Christians suffer as a consequence of sins and poor decisions? Of course, but there are many times that the faithful suffer. In Scripture, the people who suffered most were frequently the most faithful.
Job’s correction of his friends was accurate.
“For the despairing man there should be kindness from his friend;\ So that he does not forsake the fear of the Almighty.\ My brothers have acted deceitfully like a wadi,\ Like the torrents of wadis which vanish, (Job 6:14-15)
For those who don’t know, a wadi is a streambed that has water running in the wet season, but is bone dry during the dry season. Job accused his friends of being encouraging and helpful when he was prospering, then showing up and providing no encouragement or help when he needed it most. He thought refreshment was coming to visit, and instead what hope he had left was drained from him by his “friends.”
We need to make sure we aren’t one of those who decreases hope and decreases faith in one who is hurting. We need to have mercy when a hurting person works through their confusion and doubts and help lead them back to God instead of driving a wedge between them and God.
May the God of heaven protect us and lead us through the trials of life and may our trials lead us into the arms of our Savior. May God help us to merciful and to help guide the hurting into the Savior’s care.
Trust Jesus

2025-06-04 16:37:07Nukleáris politika és szabályozási fejlemények
A Nemzetközi Atomenergia-ügynökség (IAEA) Kormányzótanácsa 2025. június 9-én kezdi meg szokásos júniusi ülését Bécsben. A főbb napirendi pontok között szerepel a 2024-es éves jelentés, a technikai együttműködési tevékenységek, az iráni ellenőrzés és felügyelet, az ellenőrzések végrehajtása Észak-Koreában és Szíriában, a nukleáris biztonság és védelem Ukrajnában, valamint a nukleáris anyagok átruházása és ellenőrzése az AUKUS-keretében. Az ülésen új tagokat is kijelölnek a Kormányzótanácsba, és előkészítik a 69. rendes közgyűlést[iaea.org].
Jelentős projektek és iparági bővülés
Az amerikai Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) benyújtotta kérelmét az Egyesült Államok Nukleáris Szabályozási Bizottságához egy GE Vernova Hitachi BWRX-300 kis moduláris reaktor (SMR) megépítésére a Clinch River telephelyen, ami jelentős lépés az amerikai fejlett nukleáris technológiák elterjesztésében[world-nuclear-news.org]. Kanadában a hatóság engedélyezte az Ontario Power Generation számára, hogy egy BWRX-300 reaktort építsen a Darlington New Nuclear Project helyszínen, ezzel tovább haladva az észak-amerikai SMR-projektek terén[world-nuclear-news.org].
India nukleáris szabályozója jóváhagyta a négyblokkos Mahi Banswara Rajasthan Atomerőmű telephelyét, Kínában pedig folytatódnak a szerelési munkák a Haiyang 3 egységen. Eközben Belgium és Dánia felülvizsgálják nukleáris politikájukat: Belgium visszavonja a korábbi leállítási döntést, Dánia pedig újragondolja álláspontját[world-nuclear-news.org].
Ellátási lánc, munkaerő és nemzetközi együttműködés
A nukleáris kapacitás várható gyors növekedése miatt egyre nagyobb hangsúly kerül mind a helyi, mind a globális ellátási lánc felkészítésére. A World Nuclear Association legutóbbi konferenciája kiemelte az ellátási lánc „globalizációjának” fontosságát a bővülés támogatásához[world-nuclear-news.org]. A nukleáris munkaerő világszerte növekedni fog, ami új lehetőségeket teremt, nem pedig hiányt. Az iparági szakértők hangsúlyozzák a jelentkezők tapasztalatának javítását és a szektorok közötti készségek hasznosítását a jövőbeni igények kielégítésére[world-nuclear-news.org].
A nemzetközi szabályozói együttműködés is fejlődik, különösen a kis moduláris reaktorok (SMR) tervezési értékelése terén. A brit Nukleáris Szabályozási Hivatal közzétette első jelentését ebben a témában, globális szinten hatékonyabb és összehangoltabb megközelítést célozva[world-nuclear-news.org].
Gazdasági és befektetési trendek
A nukleáris szektorban újra optimizmus tapasztalható, egészséges projektportfóliókkal és növekvő magánbefektetésekkel, különösen a fejlett üzemanyagok, például a HALEU (magas dúsítású urán) terén. A Világbank lehetséges politikai váltása, amely lehetővé tenné nukleáris projektek finanszírozását, jelentős hatással lehet a globális befektetésekre, példát mutatva más hitelezőknek is[ans.org].
Az USA-ban jelentős lépés a Prohibiting Russian Uranium Imports Act életbe lépése, amely megtiltja a feldolgozatlan, alacsony dúsítású orosz urán behozatalát, és 2,72 milliárd dollár szövetségi támogatást szabadít fel a hazai urántermelés fellendítésére. A törvény 2027-ig korlátozott mentességeket engedélyez, 2040-ben pedig lejár[ans.org].
Technológia és innováció
A TerraPower hivatalosan is jelezte a brit hatóságoknak, hogy megkezdi a Natrium nátrium-hűtésű gyorsreaktor általános tervezési engedélyezési folyamatát, ezzel jelezve, hogy a vállalat nemzetközi szinten is be kívánja vezetni ezt a technológiát[world-nuclear-news.org]. Olaszországban új nemzeti bizottság alakult a radioaktív anyagok szállításával kapcsolatos kihívások kezelésére, a megfelelőség és a logisztika egyszerűsítése érdekében[world-nuclear-news.org].
Az Enel, az Ansaldo Energia és a Leonardo megalapította a Nuclitalia céget, hogy tanulmányozza a fejlett nukleáris technológiákat és elemezze a piaci lehetőségeket, ami jól mutatja az európai érdeklődés növekedését a következő generációs nukleáris megoldások iránt[world-nuclear-news.org].
Friss és közelgő események
- Az IAEA Kormányzótanácsának ülése (2025. június 9–13.) számos politikai, biztonsági és védelmi kérdéssel foglalkozik majd[iaea.org].
- Az amerikai Fehér Ház nemrégiben csúcstalálkozót tartott a hazai nukleáris fejlesztésekről, és elindította a legnagyobb szövetségi kezdeményezést az elmúlt ötven évben a hálózati méretű nukleáris reaktorok felgyorsított építésére[ans.org].

Michael Saylor’s Strategy Announces Initial Public Offering of 2,500,000 STRD SharesToday, Strategy (Nasdaq: MSTR; STRK; STRF) has announced that it plans to conduct an initial public offering of 2,500,000 STRD shares of Strategy’s 10.00% Series A Perpetual Stride Preferred Stock.
JUST IN: Michael Saylor's Strategy announces Initial Public Offering of STRD stock to raise more money to buy #Bitcoin
pic.twitter.com/ow29eNaW89
— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) June 2, 2025
“Strategy intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of bitcoin and for working capital,“ stated the company in the announcement.
The STRD Stock will offer non-cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate of 10 percent, paid quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, beginning on September 30, 2025. If dividends are not declared, they will not accumulate, and Strategy says it is not required to make up for missed payments.
Strategy may be able to redeem all outstanding STRD shares if the total number falls below 25 percent of the original issuance or if certain tax events occur. In such cases, holders will receive the liquidation preference of $100 per share plus any declared and unpaid dividends.
The company stated, “if an event that constitutes a “fundamental change” under the certificate of designations governing the STRD Stock occurs, then, holders of the STRD Stock will have the right to require Strategy to repurchase some or all of their shares of STRD Stock at a cash repurchase price equal to the stated amount of the STRD Stock to be repurchased, plus declared and unpaid regular dividends, if any, that will have accrued to, but excluding the fundamental change repurchase date.”

2025-06-04 11:01:29Bitcoin FilmFest (BFF25) returns to Warsaw for its third edition, blending independent cinema—from feature films and commercials to AI-driven experimental visuals—with education and entertainment.
Hundreds of attendees from around the world will gather for three days of screenings, discussions, workshops, and networking at the iconic Kinoteka Cinema (PKiN), the same venue that hosted the festival’s first two editions in March 2023 and April 2024.
This year’s festival, themed “Beyond the Frame,” introduces new dimensions to its program, including an extra day on May 22 to celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day, the first real-world bitcoin transaction, with what promises to be one of Europe’s largest commemorations of this milestone.
BFF25 bridges independent film, culture, and technology, with a bold focus on decentralized storytelling and creative expression. As a community-driven cultural experience with a slightly rebellious spirit, Bitcoin FilmFest goes beyond movies, yet cinema remains at its heart.
Here’s a sneak peek at the lineup, specially curated for movie buffs:
Generative Cinema – A special slot with exclusive shorts and a thematic debate on the intersection of AI and filmmaking. Featured titles include, for example: BREAK FREE, SATOSHI: THE CREATION OF BITCOIN, STRANGE CURRENCIES, and BITCOIN IS THE MYCELIUM OF MONEY, exploring financial independence, traps of the fiat system, and a better future built on sound money.
Upcoming Productions Preview – A bit over an hour-long block of unreleased pilots and works-in-progress. Attendees will get exclusive first looks at projects like FINDING HOME (a travel-meets-personal-journey series), PARALLEL SPACES (a story about alternative communities), and THE LEGEND OF LANDI (a mysterious narrative).
Freedom-Focused Ads & Campaigns – Unique screenings of video commercials, animations, and visual projects, culminating in “The PoWies” (Proof of Work-ies)—the first ever awards show honoring the best Bitcoin-only awareness campaigns.
To get an idea of what might come up at the event, here, you can preview 6 selected ads combined into two 2 videos:
Open Pitch Competition – A chance for filmmakers to present fresh ideas and unfinished projects to an audience of a dedicated jury, movie fans and potential collaborators. This competitive block isn’t just entertaining—it’s a real opportunity for creators to secure funding and partnerships.
Golden Rabbit Awards: A lively gala honoring films from the festival’s Official Selection, with awards in categories like Best Feature, Best Story, Best Short, and Audience Choice.

2025-06-04 10:01:11Durante a década de 1990, houve o aumento da globalização da economia, determinando a adição do fluxo internacional de capitais, de produtos e serviços. Este fenômeno levou a uma interdependência maior entre as economias dos países. Justamente por causa da possibilidade de que um eventual colapso econômico em um país resulte no contágio dos demais. Diante disso, aumentou a preocupação com os riscos incentivando a utilização de sofisticados modelos e estratégias de avaliação de gestão de risco.
Na década, ganharam destaque ainda os graves problemas financeiros enfrentados, entre outros, pelo banco inglês Barings Bank, e pelo fundo de investimento norte-americano Long Term Capital Management.
Outro grande destaque foi a fraude superior a US$ 7 bilhões sofrida pelo banco Société Generale em Janeiro de 2008.
O Barings Bank é um banco inglês que faliu em 1995 em razão de operações financeiras irregulares e mal-sucedidas realizadas pelo seu principal operador de mercado. O rombo da instituição foi superior à US$ 1,3 Bilhão e causado por uma aposta equivocada no desempenho futuro no índice de ações no Japão. Na realidade, o mercado acionário japonês caiu mais de 15% na época, determinando a falência do banco. O Baring Bank foi vendido a um grupo financeiro holandês (ING) pelo valor simbólico de uma libra esterlina.
O Long Term Capital Management era um fundo de investimento de que perdeu em 1998 mais de US$ 4,6 bilhões em operações nos mercados financeiros internacionais. O LTCM foi socorrido pelo Banco Central dos Estados Unidos (Federal Reserve ), que coordenou uma operação de socorro financeiro à instituição. A justificativa do Banco Central para esta decisão era "o receio das possíveis consequências mundiais da falência do fundo de investimento".
O banco francês Société Generale informou, em janeiro de 2008, uma perda de US$ 7,16 bilhões determinadas por fraudes efetuadas por um operador do mercado financeiro. Segundo revelou a instituição, o operador assumiu posições no mercado sem o conhecimento da direção do banco. A instituição teve que recorrer a uma urgente captação de recursos no mercado próxima a US$ 5,0 bilhões.
E finalmente chegamos ao caso mais problemático da era das finanças modernas anterior ao Bitcoin, o caso Lehman Brothers.
O Lehman Brothers era o 4° maior de investimentos dos EUA quando pediu concordata em 15/09/2008 com dívidas que superavam inacreditáveis US$ 600 bilhões.
Não se tinha contas correntes ou talão de cheques do Lehman Brothers. Era um banco especializado em investimentos e complexas operações financeiras. Havia feito pesados investimentos em empréstimos a juros fixos no famigerado mercado subprime, e o crédito imobiliário voltado a pessoas consideradas de forte risco de inadimplência.
Com essa carteira de investimentos que valia bem menos que o estimado e o acúmulo de projetos financeiros, minou a confiança dos investidores na instituição de 158 anos. Suas ações passaram de US$ 80 a menos de US$ 4. Acumulando fracassos nas negociações para levantar fundos; a instituição de cerca de 25 mil funcionários entrou em concordata.
O Federal Reserve resgatou algumas instituições financeiras grandes e tradicionais norte-americanas como a seguradora AIG no meio da crise. O Fed injetou um capital de US$ 182, 3 bilhões no American International Group (AIG).
Foi exatamente essa decisão do Fed em salvar alguns bancos e deixar quebrar outros, que causou insegurança por parte dos clientes. E os clientes ficaram insatisfeitos tanto com os bancos de investimentos quanto com as agências de classificação de risco, como a Standard & Poor's que tinha dado uma nota alta para o Lehman Brothers no mesmo dia em que ele quebrou.
E essa foi uma das razões pelo qual o Bitcoin foi criado. Satoshi Nakamoto entendeu que as pessoas não estavam mais confiando nem no Governo, nem nos Bancos Privados que o Governo federal restagatava quando eles quebravam e isso prejudicou muita gente. Tanto que o “hash” do Genesis Block contém o título do artigo “Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks” (Chanceler à beira de segundo resgate para bancos, em português) da edição britânica do The Times.
Esse texto foi parcialmente editado do texto de ASSAF Neto, CAF (2014).

2025-06-04 15:57:36Perfectionism wears many disguises—high standards, ambition, responsibility—but at its core, it’s a fear of not being enough. It convinces us that worth is earned by flawless performance, constant output, and meeting every expectation. But perfection is a prison, and real freedom begins when we choose progress over pressure.
The Weight of Perfection
Perfectionism doesn't protect us—it paralyzes us. It:
Delays action out of fear of mistakes
Fuels anxiety, self-criticism, and burnout
Makes success feel fleeting, because nothing ever feels "good enough"
Creates a cycle of comparison and shame
Why We Chase Perfect
Many of us were taught that being excellent = being lovable. So we equate flaws with failure. But chasing perfect is like running a race with no finish line—you’re never allowed to rest, celebrate, or simply be.
Signs You’re Caught in the Trap
You procrastinate because you’re afraid to do it “wrong”
You obsess over details at the expense of joy or time
You struggle to feel proud—even when you achieve something
You avoid trying new things unless you’re sure you’ll succeed
Breaking Free from the Illusion
-
Redefine Success: Replace “perfect” with “done is better than perfect.” Focus on growth.
-
Celebrate Small Wins: Let progress be enough. Every step forward counts.
-
Welcome Mistakes: They are proof you’re learning, growing, and showing up.
-
Be Gentle with Yourself: Speak to yourself like someone you love.
-
Let Real Be Enough: Authenticity is far more powerful than polish.
Why It Matters
Perfectionism may look like strength, but vulnerability is where our real power lies. When we let go of needing to be perfect, we finally become free to be real—to take risks, make art, love fully, and live without constant self-editing.
“You don't have to be perfect to be worthy. You just have to be you.”
Choose progress. Show up imperfectly. That’s where freedom lives.
