President Trump’s Truth Social Files S-1 Form For Bitcoin ETF

Today, Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. (Nasdaq, NYSE Texas: DJT) filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) a Form S-1 for their upcoming Truth Social Bitcoin ETF.

The ETF, which will hold bitcoin directly, is designed to track the bitcoin’s price performance. 

“Truth Social Bitcoin ETF, B.T. is a Nevada business trust that issues beneficial interests in its net assets,” stated the Form S-1. “The assets of the Trust consist primarily of bitcoin held by a custodian on behalf of the Trust. The Trust seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of bitcoin.”

The ETF is sponsored by Yorkville America Digital, LLC and will trade under NYSE Arca. The Trust’s assets primarily consist of bitcoin held by Foris DAX Trust Company, LLC, the designated bitcoin custodian. Crypto.com will act as the ETF’s prime execution agent and liquidity provider.

“Shares will be offered to the public from time to time at varying prices that will reflect the price of bitcoin and the trading price of the Shares on New York Stock Exchange Arca, Inc. at the time of the offer,” mentioned the Form S-1.

While the ETF offers investors a regulated avenue for bitcoin exposure, the Trust warned of several risks related to digital assets:

• Loss, theft, or compromise of private keys could result in permanent loss of bitcoin.
• Bitcoin’s reliance on blockchain and Internet technologies makes it vulnerable to disruptions and cyber threats.
• Environmental and regulatory pressures tied to high electricity use in bitcoin mining could impact market stability.
• Potential forks or protocol failures in the Bitcoin Network may lead to volatility and uncertainty in asset value.

Last week, during an interview at the 2025 Bitcoin Conference, Donald Trump Jr. announced that TMTG and Truth Social were forming a Bitcoin treasury with $2.5 billion. “We’re seriously on crypto—we’re seriously on Bitcoin,” said Trump Jr. “We’re in three major deals. I believe we’re at the beginning of what will be the future of finance. And the opportunity is massive.”

The day after that interview, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., joined by American Bitcoin Executive Chairman and Board Member Mike Ho, CEO Matt Prusak, and Altcoin Daily founder Aaron Arnold, discussed the future of Bitcoin.

“The whole system is broken and now all of the sudden you have crypto which solves all the problems,” commented Eric Trump. “It makes everything cheaper, it makes everything faster, it makes it safer, it makes it more transparent. It makes the whole system more functional.“

“Everybody wants Bitcoin. Everybody is buying Bitcoin,” Eric added.

Vibe coding is taking the nostr developer community by storm. While it's all very exciting and interesting, I think it's important to pump the brakes a little - not in order to stop the vehicle, but to try to keep us from flying off the road as we approach this curve.

In this note Pablo is subtweeting something I said to him recently (although I'm sure he's heard it from other quarters as well):

nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzp75cf0tahv5z7plpdeaws7ex52nmnwgtwfr2g3m37r844evqrr6jqy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46z7qg6waehxw309ac8junpd45kgtnxd9shg6npvchxxmmd9uqzq0z48d4ttzzkupswnkyt5a2xfkhxl3hyavnxjujwn5k2k529aearwtecp4

There is a naive, curmudgeonly case for simply "not doing AI". I think the intuition is a good one, but the subject is obviously more complicated - not doing it, either on an individual or a collective level, is just not an option. I recently read Tools for Conviviality by Ivan Illich, which I think can help us here. For Illich, the best kind of tool is one which serves "politically interrelated individuals rather than managers".

This is obviously a core value for bitcoiners. And I think the talks given at the Oslo Freedom Forum this year present a compelling case for adoption of LLMs for the purposes of 1. using them for good, and 2. developing them further so that they don't get captured by corporations and governments. Illich calls both the telephone and print "almost ideally convivial". I would add the internet, cryptography, and LLMs to this list, because each one allows individuals to work cooperatively within communities to embody their values in their work.

But this is only half the story. Illich also points out how "the manipulative nature of institutions... have put these ideally convivial tools at the service of more [managerial dominance]."

Preventing the subversion and capture of our tools is not just a matter of who uses what, and for which ends. It also requires an awareness of the environment that the use of the tool (whether for virtuous or vicious ends) creates, which in turn forms the abilities, values, and desires of those who inhabit the environment.

The natural tendency of LLMs is to foster ignorance, dependence, and detachment from reality. This is not the fault of the tool itself, but that of humans' tendency to trade liberty for convenience. Nevertheless, the inherent values of a given tool naturally gives rise to an environment through use: the tool changes the world that the tool user lives in. This in turn indoctrinates the user into the internal logic of the tool, shaping their thinking, blinding them to the tool's influence, and neutering their ability to work in ways not endorsed by the structure of the tool-defined environment.

The result of this is that people are formed by their tools, becoming their slaves. We often talk about LLM misalignment, but the same is true of humans. Unreflective use of a tool creates people who are misaligned with their own interests. This is what I mean when I say that AI use is anti-human. I mean it in the same way that all unreflective tool use is anti-human. See Wendell Berry for an evaluation of industrial agriculture along the same lines.

What I'm not claiming is that a minority of high agency individuals can't use the technology for virtuous ends. In fact, I think that is an essential part of the solution. Tool use can be good. But tools that bring their users into dependence on complex industry and catechize their users into a particular system should be approached with extra caution. The plow was a convivial tool, and so were early tractors. Self-driving John Deere monstrosities are a straightforward extension of the earlier form of the technology, but are self-evidently an instrument of debt slavery, chemical dependency, industrial centralization, and degradation of the land. This over-extension of a given tool can occur regardless of the intentions of the user. As Illich says:

There is a form of malfunction in which growth does not yet tend toward the destruction of life, yet renders a tool antagonistic to its specific aims. Tools, in other words, have an optimal, a tolerable, and a negative range.

The initial form of a tool is almost always beneficial, because tools are made by humans for human ends. But as the scale of the tool grows, its logic gets more widely and forcibly applied. The solution to the anti-human tendencies of any technology is an understanding of scale. To prevent the overrun of the internal logic of a given tool and its creation of an environment hostile to human flourishing, we need to impose limits on scale.

Tools that require time periods or spaces or energies much beyond the order of corresponding natural scales are dysfunctional.

My problem with LLMs is:

• Not their imitation of human idioms, but their subversion of them and the resulting adoption of robotic idioms by humans
• Not the access they grant to information, but their ability to obscure accurate or relevant information
• Not their elimination of menial work, but its increase (Bullshit Jobs)
• Not their ability to take away jobs, but their ability to take away the meaning found in good work
• Not their ability to confer power to the user, but their ability to confer power to their owner which can be used to exploit the user
• Not their ability to solve problems mechanistically, but the extension of their mechanistic value system to human life
• Not their explicit promise of productivity, but the environment they implicitly create in which productivity depends on their use
• Not the conversations they are able to participate in, but the relationships they displace

All of these dysfunctions come from the over-application of the technology in evaluating and executing the fundamentally human task of living. AI work is the same kind of thing as an AI girlfriend, because work is not only for the creation of value (although that's an essential part of it), but also for the exercise of human agency in the world. In other words, tools must be tools, not masters. This is a problem of scale - when tool use is extended beyond its appropriate domain, it becomes what Illich calls a "radical monopoly" (the domination of a single paradigm over all of human life).

So the important question when dealing with any emergent technology becomes: how can we set limits such that the use of the technology is naturally confined to its appropriate scale?

Here are some considerations:

• Teach people how to use the technology well (e.g. cite sources when doing research, use context files instead of fighting the prompt, know when to ask questions rather than generate code)
• Create and use open source and self-hosted models and tools (MCP, stacks, tenex). Refuse to pay for closed or third-party hosted models and tools.
• Recognize the dependencies of the tool itself, for example GPU availability, and diversify the industrial sources to reduce fragility and dependence.
• Create models with built-in limits. The big companies have attempted this (resulting in Japanese Vikings), but the best-case effect is a top-down imposition of corporate values onto individuals. But the idea isn't inherently bad - a coding model that refuses to generate code in response to vague prompts, or which asks clarifying questions is an example. Or a home assistant that recognized childrens' voices and refuses to interact.
• Divert the productivity gains to human enrichment. Without mundane work to do, novice lawyers, coders, and accountants don't have an opportunity to hone their skills. But their learning could be subsidized by the bots in order to bring them up to a level that continues to be useful.
• Don't become a slave to the bots. Know when not to use it. Talk to real people. Write real code, poetry, novels, scripts. Do your own research. Learn by experience. Make your own stuff. Take a break from reviewing code to write some. Be independent, impossible to control. Don't underestimate the value to your soul of good work.
• Resist both monopoly and "radical monopoly". Both naturally collapse over time, but by cultivating an appreciation of the goodness of hand-crafted goods, non-synthetic entertainment, embodied relationship, and a balance between mobility and place, we can relegate new, threatening technologies to their correct role in society.

I think in all of this is implicit the idea of technological determinism, that productivity is power, and if you don't adapt you die. I reject this as an artifact of darwinism and materialism. The world is far more complex and full of grace than we think.

The idea that productivity creates wealth is, as we all know, bunk. GDP continues to go up, but ungrounded metrics don't reflect anything about the reality of human flourishing. We have to return to a qualitative understanding of life as whole, and contextualize quantitative tools and metrics within that framework.

Finally, don't believe the hype. Even if AI delivers everything it promises, conservatism in changing our ways of life will decelerate the rate of change society is subjected to and allow time for reflection and proper use of the tool. Curmudgeons are as valuable as technologists. There will be no jobspocalypse if there is sufficient political will to value human good over mere productivity. It's ok to pump the breaks.

Willst du den Charakter eines Menschen kennenlernen, \ so gib ihm Macht. \ Abraham Lincoln

Vermutlich war Friedrich Merz erleichtert nach seinem Besuch beim US-Präsidenten im Oval Office. Dem Bundeskanzler kam zwar neben der Wortgewalt Donald Trumps eher eine Statistenrolle in der Medienrunde zu, aber es hätte natürlich viel schlimmer kommen können. Deswegen hatte er sich wohl vorher Ratschläge geholt, wie man hört unter anderem vom ukrainischen Präsidenten Wolodymyr Selenskyj. Offiziell gab der deutsche Regierungschef sogar an, «außerordentlich zufrieden» mit seinem Antrittsbesuch zu sein.

Dabei gibt es aktuell doch mehr Differenzen als Gemeinsamkeiten. Zu den Themen, mit denen es eine sehr unterschiedliche Umgehensweise hier und dort gibt, gehört die Gesundheit. Trumps Gesundheitsminister, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., kritisiert zum Beispiel, die meisten US-Universitäten würden den Studenten zu wenig über die Bedeutung gesunder Ernährung beibringen. Im Vordergrund der medizinischen Ausbildung stünde zu sehr die Behandlung der Menschen mit Medikamenten. Daher plant er, den Fakultäten die Bundesmittel zu streichen, wenn sie ihren Studenten keine Ernährungskurse anbieten.

Der oft als Verschwörungstheoretiker diffamierte RFK Jr. ist auch Teil des wachsenden Widerstands gegen Geoengineering-Aktivitäten. Die Manipulation von Wetter und Klima beispielsweise durch das Freisetzen von Chemikalien in die Atmosphäre kann kaum gesund sein und soll daher mit Louisiana jetzt in einem weiteren US-Bundesstaat verboten werden. Kennedy hatte derartige Maßnahmen auch schon als ein Verbrechen bezeichnet, das es zu stoppen gelte.

Indes ist der deutsche Beitrag in diesem Kontext, dass Ex-Gesundheitsminister und Covid-Impfpflicht-Befürworter Karl Lauterbach jetzt zum Klimaexperten mutiert. Laut Spiegel soll er Mitglied einer Kommission für Klima und Gesundheit bei der Weltgesundheitsorganisation werden, angeblich unentgeltlich. Vermutlich möchte die WHO im Sinne ihrer One-Health-Initiative mit solcher Lobbyarbeit für «Klimaschutz als Teil des Gesundheitsschutzes» ihren globalen Führungsanspruch untermauern.

Das Thema «Corona» ist im Übrigen noch lange nicht erledigt und das Narrativ bekommt weitere Risse. Nachdem Kennedy in den USA den Covid-«Impfstoff» für gesunde Kinder und schwangere Frauen aus dem empfohlenen Impfplan gestrichen hat, ist eine CDC-Beraterin zurückgetreten, die die Gen-Injektionen für Schwangere gefördert hatte. Auch die australische Regierung hat ihre Impfempfehlungen aktualisiert. Sie räumt jetzt ein, dass der Nutzen des «Impfstoffs» die Schäden für gesunde Jugendliche nicht überwiegt.

Gleichzeitig berichten Medien von einer neuen, anhaltenden «Covid-19-Welle» in China. Es gebe Befürchtungen, dass es zu erneuten Lockdowns und anderen drastischen Maßnahmen kommen könnte, obwohl sich die «Infektionen» laut den Gesundheitsbehörden auf einem Abwärtstrend befinden. In einigen Schulen seien Schüler isoliert und unter Quarantäne gestellt worden.

Isolierung, Überwachung und Kontrolle sind ebenfalls ein höchst ungesundes Erbe der «Coronazeit». Die weltweit vielfach eingeführten digitalen «Impfpässe» wurden als Instrument benutzt, um Kampagnen für digitale Identitäten zu fördern und die entsprechenden Systeme aufzubauen. Gerade hat auch Griechenland mit der Einführung seiner «Personal Citizen Number» den Grundstein für ein einheitliches digitales ID-System gelegt.

Derweil schlagen Datenschützer Alarm wegen des Tracking-Potenzials der sogenannten «Phone Home»-Funktion vieler digitaler Ausweise. Dieses «Feature», bei dem im Hintergrund jedesmal der Aussteller kontaktiert wird, um eine Angabe zu überprüfen, werde ganz leise in der Gesellschaft eingeführt, warnen sie. Das gebe den Regierungen den Vorgeschmack auf eine Macht, die sie kaum jemals wieder loslassen würden. Dagegen hilft nur eins: wachsam sein, hinterfragen und im Zweifel «Nein» sagen, anstatt auf eine vermeintliche Bequemlichkeit hereinzufallen.

Guilt can feel like a weight we carry silently—a reminder of past choices, mistakes, or words we wish we could take back. While remorse can be a signal for growth, staying stuck in guilt serves no one. Freedom from guilt is not about denying responsibility; it’s about accepting it with compassion and choosing to heal forward.

The Silent Burden

Guilt often hides in our inner dialogue:

"I should have known better."

"Why did I do that?"

"I can’t forgive myself."

It lingers quietly, shaping how we show up in relationships, how we talk to ourselves, and what we believe we deserve.

Why Guilt Persists

We believe guilt is penance—that if we suffer long enough, we’ll earn redemption. But guilt isn’t the path to healing. Forgiveness is. And it begins with ourselves.

Signs You’re Stuck in Guilt

You replay events repeatedly in your mind

You avoid situations or people connected to the memory

You believe you deserve less because of what happened

You can’t speak kindly to yourself about the past

The Path to Self-Forgiveness

1. Acknowledge Without Denial: Own what happened, but resist the urge to define yourself by it.

2. Feel the Feelings: Allow yourself to grieve, feel sorrow, or disappointment. This is part of release.

3. Offer Yourself Compassion: Would you speak this harshly to someone you love?

4. Make Amends if Needed: When possible, take responsible action to heal what can be healed.

5. Let the Past Educate, Not Punish: Take the lesson. Leave the shame.

Why Forgiveness Frees You

When you forgive yourself, you reclaim your wholeness. You stop being split between who you were and who you're becoming. You can hold your past without being held back by it.

---

“You, too, deserve to walk forward without chains.”

Release the guilt. Choose compassion. Let healing lead the way.

เฮียไปเจอบทความต่างประเทศของเมื่อราวๆปี 2022 ที่เล่าเรื่องการจับมือกันระหว่าง CP Foods หรือที่คนไทยเรารู้จักกันดีในชื่อ “ซีพี” กับบริษัทจากอิสราเอลที่ชื่อ Future Meat Technologies ชื่อดูเหมือนจะหลุดมาจากหนังไซไฟ แต่สิ่งที่เขาทำไม่ใช่ยานอวกาศ ไม่ใช่หุ่นยนต์ แต่เป็น “เนื้อ” ใช่แล้ว เนื้อจริง ๆ แต่ไม่ต้องฆ่าสัตว์ เป็นเนื้อเพาะเลี้ยงจากเซลล์ในห้องแล็บ ที่เขาเรียกกันว่า cultivated meat หรือเนื้อเพาะเลี้ยง เฮียเห็นชื่อครั้งแรกก็แอบคิดว่ามันจะเป็นของเล่นของคนไฮเทคหรือเปล่า แต่พออ่านลึกเข้าไป มันกลายเป็นเรื่องจริงจังมาก เพราะมันเกี่ยวกับอนาคตของอาหารที่คนทั้งโลกอาจจะต้องพึ่งพาโดยไม่รู้ตัว

บริษัท Future Meat ทำเรื่องนี้ได้ล้ำมาก เขาสามารถเพาะเลี้ยงเซลล์ของสัตว์ให้เติบโตเป็นเนื้อได้โดยไม่ต้องฆ่าใครเลย ฟังดูเป็นมิตรกับโลกกับสัตว์มาก แต่มันมีโจทย์ที่ยากกว่านั้น คือจะทำอย่างไรให้เนื้อเพาะเลี้ยงนี้ “น่ากิน” สำหรับคนเอเชีย เพราะถ้าจะขายแค่ฝรั่งที่ชอบอกไก่จืด ๆ ก็ง่ายหน่อย แต่คนเอเชียเรานี่สิ ชอบเนื้อที่เรียกว่าเนื้อดำ ซึ่งจะเข้มข้น แน่นๆ มัน ๆ หอม ๆ สีเข้ม รสชัดแบบสะโพกไก่ น่องไก่ หรือเนื้อวัวที่เอาไปทำกะเพรา ทำแกง ทำผัดเผ็ดได้ CP เขาเข้าใจรสนิยมนี้ดี และนั่นแหละคือเหตุผลที่เขาไปจับมือกับบริษัทนี้ เฮียว่ามันไม่ใช่แค่เรื่องเทคโนโลยี แต่มันคือการจับมือกันระหว่างห้องแล็บกับตลาดรสนิยมบนจานข้าวของคนจริง ๆ

สิ่งที่เฮียว่าน่าสนใจคือ CP เข้ามาเติมเต็มสิ่งที่บริษัทเทคโนโลยีขาด นั่นคือความเข้าใจตลาดเอเชียแบบลึกซึ้ง ซีพีมีเครือข่ายทั่วภูมิภาค รู้ว่าคนไทย คนจีน คนอินโดฯ กินอะไร ชอบรสไหน จะเข้าไปวางขายในตลาดไหนต้องระวังวัฒนธรรมการกินอะไรบ้าง มันไม่ใช่แค่จะเอาเนื้อเพาะเลี้ยงมาย่างแล้ววางใส่เบอร์เกอร์แล้วขายได้เหมือนกันหมด CP เลยเป็นเหมือนสะพานเชื่อมจากโลกห้องแล็บเข้าสู่โลกจริงที่มีคนกินจริง ๆ นั่งรออยู่

แต่ในขณะที่หลายคนมองว่าเนื้อเพาะเลี้ยงคือความหวังใหม่ของโลก ที่ไม่ต้องฆ่าสัตว์ ไม่ปล่อยคาร์บอน ไม่ใช้พื้นที่มหาศาล เฮียก็อดคิดไม่ได้ว่า ถ้าระบบอาหารในอนาคตถูกควบคุมโดยไม่กี่บริษัท ใครเป็นคนควบคุมสูตร ใครถือสิทธิ์ในเซลล์ต้นแบบ ใครควบคุมแหล่งวัตถุดิบที่ใช้เพาะเลี้ยง แล้วคนกินอย่างเราจะเหลืออิสระแค่ไหนในการเลือกอาหารของตัวเอง มันอาจจะดูดีในระยะสั้น แต่ในระยะยาว ถ้าเราต้องพึ่งของพวกนี้เป็นหลัก แล้วของจริงที่โตจากดิน มีชีวิต กำลังถูกแทนที่ด้วยของเพาะในถัง เฮียว่าความเป็นมนุษย์ของเราก็อาจจะค่อย ๆ หายไปเหมือนกันโดยไม่รู้ตัว ถ้าในอนาคต “เนื้อ” ไม่ได้มาจากสัตว์ แต่กลายเป็นของเพาะเลี้ยงที่ออกแบบโดยใครบางคนในห้องแล็บ เราจะยังมีสิทธิ์เลือกรสชาติชีวิตของตัวเองอยู่มั้ย หรือเรากำลังค่อย ๆ โดนโปรแกรมผ่านของที่เรียกว่าอาหาร โดยไม่รู้เลยว่าใครคือคนเขียนโค้ดนั้น

Noções iniciais:

• O termo 'Coronavírus' (COVID) é na verdade um nome genérico para vários vírus de gripes já comuns, dado para o tipo corona (com uma "coroa", 'espetos' ao redor dele), o Sars-Cov-2 (que passou a ser chamado erroneamente só de Covid), é só um deles.
• SARS-CoV-2 é que é nome do vírus. Ele que causa a doença Covid-19;
• O coronavírus SARS-CoV-2 é o segundo tipo de SARS-CoV documentado, o primeiro ocorreu entre 2002 e 2003, se originando também da China e também dito como tendo origem animal;
• SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) - Síndrome Respiratória Aguda Grave (SRAG) é a uma doença respiratória viral, relatada ser de origem zoonótica (animal), causada pelos coronavírus SARS-CoV (2002) e SARS-CoV-2 (2019), ambos de origem chinesa;

27/02/2021 - Por que o Japão demorou para vacinar, mesmo com Olimpíada se aproximando https://www.cnnbrasil.com.br/internacional/2021/02/27/por-que-o-japao-demorou-para-vacinar-mesmo-com-olimpiada-se-aproximando

"Desconfiança da população japonesa em relação a vacinas, ligada a casos ocorridos no passado, está entre razões que atrasaram imunização no país.

A resistência à vacina do Japão remonta à década de 1970, quando duas crianças morreram dentro de 24 horas após receberem a vacina combinada contra difteria, tétano e coqueluche (coqueluche). A vacina foi temporariamente suspensa, mas a confiança já havia sido abalada. Por vários anos, as taxas de vacinação infantil caíram, levando a um aumento nos casos de tosse convulsa.

No final dos anos 1980, houve outro susto com a introdução da vacina tripla contra sarampo, caxumba e rubéola produzida no Japão. As primeiras versões do imunizante foram associadas à meningite asséptica, ou inchaço das membranas ao redor do cérebro e da medula espinhal. O problema foi rastreado até o componente caxumba da vacina tripla, o que levou a uma ação judicial e a indenização por danos pesados.

O Instituto Nacional de Ciências da Saúde interrompeu a dose combinada em 1993 e a substituiu por vacinas individuais. Após o escândalo, Shibuya disse que o governo japonês se tornou "ciente dos riscos" e seu programa nacional de vacinação tornou-se voluntário.

O Dr. Yuho Horikoshi, especialista em doenças infecciosas, diz que os processos levaram a uma "lacuna de vacinação", em que nenhuma vacina foi aprovada no Japão por cerca de 15 anos.

Mais recentemente, em 2013, o Japão adicionou a vacina contra o papilomavírus humano (HPV) ao calendário nacional para proteger as meninas contra o vírus sexualmente transmissível, que é conhecido por causar câncer cervical. No entanto, vídeos de meninas supostamente sofrendo de reações adversas começaram a circular no YouTube, levando o governo a retirá-los da programação nacional."

2. PRIMEIRAS OCORRÊNCIAS PREDITIVAS AO COVID-19

2002 - Síndrome respiratória aguda grave (SARS) Brenda L. Tesini (setembro de 2018). Síndrome respiratória aguda grave (SARS) [indisponível]. Manual Merck. Consultado em 23 de janeiro de 2020, citado no Wikipedia

SARS - Wikipédia: "A SARS [doença do vírus SARS-CoV] foi detectada pela primeira vez no fim de 2002 na China. Entre 2002 e 2003, um surto da doença resultou em mais de 8 000 casos e cerca de 800 mortes em todo o mundo."

2010 - Fundação Rockfeller, Lockstep. https://www.rockefellerfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/Annual-Report-2010-1.pdf

Neste PDF da fundação Rockfeller, em seu próprio site, a fundação deixou claro o seu envolvimento em casos de ‘contenção’ de pandemias juntamente com a USAID (agência americana com nome ambíguo, como formalmente ‘United States Agency for International Development’, mas soando como ‘US Socorre’, mas sendo um braço do governo democrata que financiava interferências políticas diretas em vários países, como em intervenções no Brasil ), inclusive em relacionadas ao SARS, o mesmo sintoma dos coronavírus Sars-Cov e Sars-Cov-2 (o vírus propagado em 2019) e que causa o COVID-19.

Segundo eles:

“Integração entre Regiões e Países

A Fundação Rockefeler investiu US$ 22 milhões em sua Iniciativa de Redes de Vigilância de Doenças para ajudar a conter a disseminação de doenças infecciosas e pandemias, fortalecendo os sistemas nacionais, regionais e globais de vigilância e resposta a doenças. Dois programas-chave da Rockefeler — a Rede de Vigilância de Doenças da Bacia do Mekong e a Rede Integrada de Vigilância de Doenças da África Oriental — conectaram e capacitaram profissionais de saúde, epidemiologistas e autoridades de saúde pública em toda a região, levando a um aumento de seis vezes nos locais de vigilância de doenças transfronteiriças somente nos últimos três anos. Em 2010, a Rockefeler expandiu a bem-sucedida campanha transdisciplinar One Health, que a USAID e o Banco Asiático de Desenvolvimento adotaram como modelos. One Health refere-se à integração da ciência médica e veterinária para combater essas novas variedades de doenças zoonóticas que se movem e sofrem mutações rapidamente de animais para humanos. Essas colaborações criaram e fortaleceram uma rede regional crítica de saúde pública, enquanto as lições aprendidas foram exportadas entre disciplinas e países. Além de fortalecer os laços globais em saúde pública, a Rockefeler ajudou a elevar o nível de especialização e treinamento em campo. O Programa de Treinamento em Epidemiologia de Campo coloca graduados nos mais altos escalões do governo no Laos e no Vietnã, enquanto as bolsas da Rockefeler transformaram as ferramentas disponíveis para os médicos, permitindo-lhes utilizar o poder da internet para se comunicar e monitorar eventos, compreender contextos locais e analisar novos problemas. Finalmente, estamos aplicando ferramentas do século XXI para combater os desafios de saúde do século XXI.”

Julho de 2012 - Revista Mundo Estranho - Epidemias Citado em: https://super.abril.com.br/especiais/epidemia-o-risco-invisivel/

Página do site ME salva em Imagem no Voidcat

Houve uma ‘coincidência’, a revista Mundo Estranho em julho de 2012, entrevistou o até então doutorando em virologia, Átila Iamarino (do canal Nerdologia no Youtube - O mesmo cientista que fez diversas propagandas das vacinas no Brasil), para descrever um possível cenário de propagação de uma epidemia viral, a revista descreve com grande precisão os eventos de 2020, mas apontando o oposto da China, em que, na realidade, sua economia cresceu vertiginosamente.

Segundo eles:

“ 1 – A Ásia é o ponto de partida. Após várias mutações, um novo vírus surge hospedado em morcegos. As fezes que eles soltam no ar infectam guaxinins. Dos mercados da China, esses animais são levados vivos para serem abatidos em restaurantes. Estressados, eles arranham e mordem os cozinheiros, espalhando o vírus.

2 – O vírus adquire a capacidade de ser transmitido de homem para homem por via aérea – forma mais fácil de contágio. Além disso, o contágio se dá antes mesmo de o enfermo apresentar os sintomas. Assim, em média, o doente infecta cinco pessoas antes de ter febre, vômito, diarreia, desidratação e falta de ar.

3 – O governo chinês envia uma comissão para avaliar a doença misteriosa que acomete alguns vilarejos. A equipe volta sem resultados e não considera o surto alarmante até que três pesquisadores adoecem e um deles morre. A China não informa a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) para não demonstrar fragilidade.

4 – Os sintomas são comuns e a doença só chama a atenção quando muita gente começa a morrer na mesma região. Ainda assim, demora para que médicos e enfermeiros percebam a ineficiência de antibióticos na cura – o que exclui a maioria das bactérias como agente causador. Testes com vírus comuns também dão negativo.

5 – O governo isola comunidades em que há focos da doença. Ninguém entra nas cidades e nenhum doente pode sair. Mas, como a misteriosa enfermidade demora quatro dias para mostrar seus sintomas, muitos doentes saem dos vilarejos sem saber que estão infectados, alastrando a epidemia.

6 – Doentes viajam de avião para grandes cidades, como Hong Kong. O fervilhante centro comercial, que atrai gente do mundo todo, é um polo de contágio e disseminação. Sem imaginar o risco que correm, pessoas são contaminadas e, ao voltar para seu local de origem, carregam o vírus para todos os continentes.

7 – Com a doença já fora de controle, começa uma corrida entre laboratórios e cientistas de grandes universidades para descobrir o agente causador. Mesmo com o vírus isolado, as vacinas demoram para ser feitas em larga escala, tornando impossível o atendimento à demanda mundial.

8 – Os países se isolam, mantendo esquemas de quarentena. Aeroportos são fechados e o turismo mundial cai a quase zero. A China sofre as piores consequências, com o fluxo de empresários para Hong Kong suspenso – gerando prejuízos de bilhões de dólares – e com o boicote a produtos alimentícios vindos da Ásia.

9 – Além dos 10% de casos letais, os milhões de doentes precisam de atendimento médico. Enquanto hospitais e cemitérios estão lotados, escolas, indústrias e comércio ficam paralisados por falta de profissionais. O transporte público também para e os trabalhadores que podem passam a trabalhar em casa.

10 – Nas nações pobres, quase 20% da população morre – e outros milhões são vitimados mesmo em países ricos. Parte dessa mortalidade ocorre por causa da doença, mas outro fator determinante é a crise financeira global. A produção de alimentos cai por falta de mão de obra.

10/2019 - Evento 201 - Durante os Jogos Militares Internacionais na China https://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/

Promovido por: - Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation - John Hopkins Institute - Fórum econômico mundial

"O evento simula a liberação de um coronavírus novo do tipo zoonótico transmitido por morcegos para porcos e por fim para humanos. Eventualmente ele se torna muito transmissível entre humanos levando a uma pandemia severa. O vírus é muito parecido com o vírus da SARS, mas se transmite muito mais facilmente entre pessoas devido a sintomas muito mais leves destas."

7. CRIMES

Crimes da Pfizer

18/11/2020 Não listado no google - Os Crimes documentados da produtora de vacinas de Covid - Pfizer [INGLÊS] https://www.dmlawfirm.com/crimes-of-covid-vaccine-maker-pfizer-well-documented/

"A velocidade com que a vacina Covid da Pfizer foi produzida, a ausência de estudos em animais, testes de controle randomizados e outros testes e procedimentos padrão usuais para um novo medicamento são, no mínimo, preocupantes. Além disso, todos os fabricantes de vacinas Covid receberam imunidade legal para quaisquer ferimentos ou mortes que possam causar. Se essas vacinas são tão seguras quanto promovidas, por que seus fabricantes precisam de imunidade geral?"

"A Pfizer, uma empresa farmacêutica que parece ter ganhado na loteria para produzir a primeira vacina Covid-19, está atualmente lutando contra centenas de ações judiciais sobre o Zantac, um popular medicamento contra azia. Os processos da Zantac afirmam que a droga popular pode estar contaminada com uma substância cancerígena chamada N-nitrosodimetilamina (NDMA). Os processos Zantac são em aberto e em andamento, já que a farmacêutica está lutando contra eles; mas a Pfizer, sabemos, cometeu vários crimes ou transgressões pelos quais foi punida nos últimos anos. As falhas da empresa estão bem documentadas e vale a pena revisá-las neste momento crítico da história da humanidade, enquanto todos nós buscamos respostas."

A Pfizer recebeu a maior multa da história dos Estados Unidos como parte de um acordo judicial de US $ 2,3 bilhões com promotores federais por promover medicamentos erroneamente (Bextra, Celebrex) e pagar propinas a médicos complacentes. A Pfizer se confessou culpada de falsificar a marca do analgésico Bextra, promovendo o medicamento para usos para os quais não foi aprovado.

Na década de 1990, a Pfizer estava envolvida em válvulas cardíacas defeituosas que causaram a morte de mais de 100 pessoas. A Pfizer enganou deliberadamente os reguladores sobre os perigos. A empresa concordou em pagar US $ 10,75 milhões para acertar as acusações do departamento de justiça por enganar reguladores.

A Pfizer pagou mais de US $ 60 milhões para resolver um processo sobre o Rezulin, um medicamento para diabetes que causou a morte de pacientes de insuficiência hepática aguda.

No Reino Unido, a Pfizer foi multada em quase € 90 milhões por sobrecarregar o NHS, o Serviço Nacional de Saúde. A Pfizer cobrou do contribuinte um adicional de € 48 milhões por ano, pelo que deveria custar € 2 milhões por ano.

A Pfizer concordou em pagar US $ 430 milhões em 2004 para resolver acusações criminais de que havia subornado médicos para prescrever seu medicamento para epilepsia Neurontin para indicações para as quais não foi aprovado. Em 2011, um júri concluiu que a Pfizer cometeu fraude em sua comercialização do medicamento Neurontin. A Pfizer concordou em pagar $ 142,1 milhões para liquidar as despesas.

A Pfizer revelou que pagou quase 4.500 médicos e outros profissionais médicos cerca de US $ 20 milhões por falar em nome da Pfizer.

Em 2012, a Comissão de Valores Mobiliários dos Estados Unidos - anunciou que havia chegado a um acordo de US $ 45 milhões com a Pfizer para resolver acusações de que suas subsidiárias haviam subornado médicos e outros profissionais de saúde no exterior para aumentar as vendas no exterior.

A Pfizer foi processada em um tribunal federal dos Estados Unidos por usar crianças nigerianas como cobaias humanas, sem o consentimento dos pais das crianças. A Pfizer pagou US $ 75 milhões para entrar em acordo no tribunal nigeriano pelo uso de um antibiótico experimental, o Trovan, nas crianças. A empresa pagou um valor adicional não divulgado nos Estados Unidos para liquidar as despesas aqui. A Pfizer violou o direito internacional, incluindo a Convenção de Nuremberg estabelecida após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, devido aos experimentos nazistas em prisioneiros relutantes.

Em meio a críticas generalizadas de roubar os países pobres em busca de drogas, a Pfizer prometeu dar US $ 50 milhões para um medicamento para a AIDS para a África do Sul. Mais tarde, no entanto, a Pfizer falhou em honrar essa promessa.

Hello

@ 0b118e40:4edc09cb

The idea of Bitcoin as an internet native currency, and eventually a global one, is coming to life slowly. But historically, the idea of global currency has haunted the world’s financial imagination for nearly a century. 

From Keynes’s Bancor in 1944 to Zhou Xiaochuan’s post-crisis proposal in 2009 to today’s renewed debates, the idea resurfaces every time the global economy fractures. 

Could this time be different with Bitcoin? 

I decided to trace the idea of global currency through several decades and books. I may have missed some parts, so feel free to add. I’ll keep this brief and leave the books I’ve read below.

In the beginning

It all started on July 1, 1944. 730 delegates from 44 Allied nations, including major powers like the US, UK, Soviet Union, China, and France, gathered at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. They spent 2 weeks figuring out how the new international monetary and financial system would be, post WW2

After WW1, the treaty of Versailles was needed, but imposed harsh reparations that devastated economies and contributed to the rise of fascism, such as Hitler, Mussolini and gang. 

So when folks met up in 1944 (WW2 was almost ending), the goal was to prevent another Great Depression, another global conflict and build a stable global economic order. 

2 main proposals were discussed in Bretton Woods. 

1. John Maynard Keynes, representing the UK, proposed the creation of a global currency called Bancor. It will be issued through a global central bank known as the International Clearing Union (ICU).

2. Harry Dexter White, representing the US, promoted a dollar-based system. Countries would peg their currencies to the US. dollar backed by gold. He also led the creation of the IMF and the World Bank.

To understand how both of these proposals work, let's look at an example.

• Country A (Germany): Massive exporter

• Country B (USA): Massive importer

• Country C (Brazil): Balanced trade (imports = exports)

***Based on Dexter’s model and the current USD-based system, ***

Say Germany sells $1B worth of cars to the US. The US  pays in dollars, increasing its trade deficit. Germany accumulates dollars as reserves or buys the US Treasury bonds. Over time, the US continues running trade deficits, while Germany keeps hoarding dollars. Hence the  unsustainable debt of the US. 

***In Keynes’s Bancor system, ***

If Germany sells $1B worth of cars to the US, then the US does not pay in dollars. Instead, the ICU credits Germany with 1B Bancors and debits the US with -1B Bancors. 

The ICU police this. If Germany exceeds the surplus threshold, it pays interest or penalties to discourage hoarding. If the US exceeds its deficit threshold, it is warned to rebalance trade or face restrictions.

Here, Germany is incentivized to import more (e.g., from Brazil) or invest in global development. The US is encouraged to export more or reduce consumption. Brazil, with balanced trade, enjoys stability in Bancor flows and avoids pressure.

The idea behind Bancor was a zero-sum balancing act. No country could become “too big to fail” due to excessive deficits. But it was too complicated and idealistic in assuming every country could maintain balanced trade. 

Dexter on the other hand had a few tricks up his sleeve. In the end, Dexter’s USD dominance proposal was adopted. 

The Bretton Woods system established the US dollar as the central global currency 

Why did dollar dominance win over Bancor?

Simplicity often wins over complexity. But more so ICU felt too centralized, asking nations to surrender economic autonomy to a global body. That didn’t sit well in a post-war world where sovereignty was non-negotiable. That and idealist economic trade balance views. 

Dexter’s dollar-based system on the other hand wasn’t fair play at all. It was centralized and authoritarian in its design. 

So how did Dexter pull it off?

They had gold. They were ahead in economic recovery.

And they had nuclear weapons. 

At the time, the US held nearly 2/3 of the world’s gold reserves. It was a significant advantage in advocating for a gold-backed dollar as the bedrock of global trade. 

The US proposed a fixed gold peg at $35 per ounce.

From a broader geopolitical backdrop, the global population in 1944 was about 2.3 billion, a fraction of today’s 8 billion. The world was far less interconnected. The war had devastated Europe, Russia, and much of Asia. Infrastructure, economies, and entire cities were in ruins. The US, by contrast, had faced far fewer casualties and damages. Being geographically isolated, it had minimal domestic losses, around a tenth of what Europe suffered, and its economy was poised to rebuild faster. 

But gold dominance and economic recovery alone didn’t secure US financial dominance.

American scientific breakthroughs had already signaled global power. Physicists like Leo Szilard and Albert Einstein, who had fled Europe, helped develop nuclear weapons. Their intent was deterrence, not destruction. But once the bomb existed, it changed geopolitics overnight. The US had military dominance. And after Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, it became the undisputed superpower. 

In the end, the USD won and the vision for neutral global currency faded. 

And 20 years passed on…

France sends its warship to the US

Under Bretton Woods, countries could exchange dollars for gold, but the US had been printing more dollars than it had gold to back it. And it used it to fund the costly Vietnam War and domestic programs like the Great Society under LBJ. 

Belgian-American economist Robert Triffin pointed out a fatal flaw in the Bretton Woods system that came to be known as the Triffin dilemma. 

• The world needed US dollars for liquidity and trade.

• But the more dollars the US pumped out, the less credible its gold promise became.

Yet the US kept promising that every dollar was still convertible to gold at $35 per ounce.

French President Charles de Gaulle saw this as financial imperialism. He called it the  “exorbitant privileged position”. The world had to pay for what they bought with the money they have, but not the US. 

So in 1965, France did something unexpected. It sent a warship to New York Harbor to physically retrieve French gold reserves held by the Federal Reserve. 

Would it have escalated to war? Maybe. But likely not. It was perhaps more of a diplomatic theatre and a sovereign flex. France was exercising its right under the Bretton Woods agreement to convert dollars into gold. But doing it with military formality was to send a signal to the world that they don’t trust the US system anymore.

It was one of the first major public blows to the dollar’s credibility. And France wasn’t alone. Other countries like West Germany and Switzerland followed suit, redeeming dollars for gold and draining US reserves.

The Nixon shock

Given they did not have enough gold, the IMF introduced Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) in 1969. SDRs were an international reserve asset, created to supplement gold and dollar reserves. Instead of relying solely on the US dollar, SDRs were based on a basket of major currencies (originally gold-backed but later diversified).

The idea was to reduce the world’s dependence on the dollar and avoid a liquidity crisis. But SDRs were a little too late and a little too weak to solve the underlying problem.

By 1971, the US could no longer sustain the illusion. President Nixon “closed the gold window,” suspending dollar convertibility to gold. 

The Bretton Woods collapsed and this marked the beginning of fiat money dominance.

The French pursuit

While France demanded justice in one corner of the world, the French franc, specifically the CFA franc, has been dominant in parts of Africa since 1945, long before 1971.

After WWII, France created two CFA franc zones:

• West Africa: Communauté Financière Africaine (XOF)

• Central Africa: Coopération Financière en Afrique Centrale (XAF)

These zones included 14 African countries, many of which were former French colonies. France maintained monetary control via currency convertibility guarantees and representation in African central banks. Till today it has influence over these country’s monetary policy.

Colonisation hasn't ended in some parts of the world. 

Did countries stop using the USD after the Nixon shock 1971?

Nope. The US dollar was no longer convertible to gold and it dismantled the fixed exchange rate system. But most countries did not stop using the USD as their dominant reserve or trade currency. There were no decent alternatives. Instead, they floated their currencies or maintained a soft peg to the dollar or a basket of currencies. 

The USD remained dominant in oil trade (OPEC priced oil in USD) - petrodollar deal, global debt markets and FX reserves (central banks kept holding USD). 

In 1997, when many Southeast Asian countries were still pegged to the USD, Soros claimed that SEA will tank. The US further increased its credit rates leading to capital flight and eventual tanking of these countries leading to Asian Financial Crisis '97. Many financial crisis has similar vibe.

The 1999 Euro launch

The idea of a shared currency appeared again, this time through the forms of Euro. It was a mandatory system for member states of the Eurozone, and came with centralized authority, the European Central Bank (ECB), which controlled monetary policy for all participating nations.

At first glance, the euro seemed like a win. It eliminated exchange rate fluctuations, making trade within the Eurozone smoother. It gave weaker economies access to lower borrowing costs and helped Europe establish itself as a financial heavyweight. Today, the euro is the second most-used reserve currency after the US dollar.

But it came at a cost. Countries that adopted the euro lost monetary sovereignty and could no longer print their own money or adjust interest rates to respond to local crises. This became painfully clear during Greece’s debt crisis, where strict monetary policies prevented the country from devaluing its currency to recover. The one-size-fits-all approach meant that economies as different as Germany and Greece had to follow the same rules, often to the detriment of weaker nations. Debt-ridden countries like Italy and Spain were forced into harsh austerity measures because they could not manipulate their currency to ease financial strain. Meanwhile, richer nations like Germany and the Netherlands felt they were unfairly propping up struggling economies, creating political tension across the EU.

In recent years, the euro has faced pressure from global trade tensions, monetary tightening, and geopolitical instability contributing to market volatility and periodic depreciation against other major currencies.

The Bretton Woods 2.0

Believe it or not, after all that, there was a call for Bretton Woods 2.0. Yet another global currency dream.

When the housing market collapsed in 2008 followed by a series of domino effects, global banks froze lending, economies contracted, and panic set in. The crisis exposed how fragile the international financial system had become as it was overly reliant on debt, under-regulated, and centered around the US dollar.

Many countries, especially in the Global South and emerging markets, started to question whether a system built around a single national currency was sustainable. 

China, for instance, had been holding huge amounts of US debt while the US printed more dollars through bailouts and quantitative easing. This created global imbalances as exporting nations were lending money to the US to keep the system running, while taking on the risk of dollar depreciation. 

In 2009, China’s central bank openly proposed replacing the US dollar with a neutral global reserve currency suggesting SDRs (Special Drawing Rights) issued by the IMF instead.

These concerns led to a wave of calls from world leaders for a “Bretton Woods 2.0” ,  a modern rethinking of the post-WWII economic order. At G20 summits in London in 2009, countries like France, China, and Russia pushed for reforms in global financial institutions and more balanced power sharing. 

In the end, the IMF received more funding, and some banking regulations were tightened in the years after. But no real overhaul happened. No surprise there? The dollar remained dominant. 

The foundation of the global economy didn’t change, even though trust in it had been deeply shaken.

The growth of BRICS

In 2023, Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa began discussing the idea of a shared currency or alternative mechanism to reduce the dependence on USD ie de-dollarisation. The sanctions on Russia didn't help. After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the US and its allies froze Russia’s dollar reserves and cut it off from SWIFT, the “backbone of global banking communication”. This made one thing clear. If you fall out with Washington, your access to the global economy can vanish overnight.

China’s growing economic power also gave it more leverage to process alternative options. It would trade in Yuan with Russia and Iran.

I know many still say it's at its early stage, but I see many countries hedging their bets quietly and aligning with Putin and Xi. It became more obvious after US imposed tariffs on multiple nations, signaling that economic tools can double as political weapons. The world’s second financial system is slowly forming.

What is the world looking for, for the last century ?

From Bretton Woods to multiple financial crises, from the birth of the Euro to the rise of BRICS, through war and peace, we’ve been circling around the same ideal. A global currency that is :

1. Simple 

2. Free from dominant power 

3. Decentralised

4. Borderless

5. Scarce 

6. Transparent 

7. Inclusive, with self custody

8. Resilient in crisis 

9. Built for individual financial sovereignty

10. A new backbone for global finance, owned by no one

It doesn’t matter where you’re from, what politics you believe in, or how your economy leans. The answer keeps pointing in the same direction:

Bitcoin

This is the first true global currency.

And it’s just there 

Waiting...

Es gibt Bibliotheken voll Literatur zur „Kunst“ der Kriegsführung. Dies hier ist ein Beitrag zu den Bibliotheken der Kunst Frieden zu führen. Denn Frieden ist nicht die Abwesenheit von Krieg. Sondern eine mindestens ebenso intensive Aktivität. Worin genau besteht sie aber? Ich glaube darin, weder nach der einen noch nach der anderen Seite vom Hochseil zu fallen. Denn vom Hochseil kann man immer nach zwei Seiten fallen. Das ist dann auch schon die Kernherausforderung: Gleichgewichthalten!

Es scheint zunächst ein ganz äußerlicher Auftrag. Es gibt immer und wird immer widerstreitende Interessen geben. Allerdings ist das nur die äußerste Zwiebelschale. Denn wenn wir die Sache etwas mit Abstand von uns selbst betrachten, werden wir in uns hinein verwiesen: Frieden kann nur von innen nach außen gestiftet werden. Wenn wir das Hochseil in uns suchen, was finden wir dann? – Zweifels ohne, wissen wir von uns, dass wir nicht jeden Tag unser bestes Selbst sind. Würde es sich nicht lohnen etwas genauer über die Möglichkeit nach zwei Seiten vom Hochseil zu fallen nachzudenken, zugunsten der eigenen Balancierfähigkeit?

Wir sind daran gewöhnt zu denken dem Guten steht das Böse gegenüber. Daraus ziehen ja alle Western und Martial Arts Streifen ihren Plot: Der Gute bringt den Bösen um die Ecke und damit hat wieder mal das Gute gesiegt. Wir bewerten das „um die Ecke bringen“ unterschiedlich, je nach dem, von wem es kommt.

Ich möchte einen neuen Gedanken vorschlagen über unser Inneres, über Gut und Böse nachzudenken. Denn, wie gesagt, vom Hochseil kann man nach zwei Seiten fallen. Und es hat immer drastische Wirkung. Wo kommen wir also hin, wenn wir sagen: Frieden ist immer ein Gleichgewichtszustand, ergo eine Zeit der Mitte?

Sagen wir Toleranz ist ein erstrebenswertes Ideal. Dann würden wir sicher sagen Engstirnigkeit ist das Gegenteil davon und alles andere als Wünschenswert. Ja, so ist es gewiss. Und es bleibt hinzuzufügen, auch Beliebigkeit ist das Gegenteil von Toleranz. Denn es gibt eine Grenze, wo Toleranz nicht mehr Toleranz ist, sondern Beliebigkeit, ein „alles ist möglich“. Ähnlich können wir es für Großzügigkeit denken: Großzügigkeit ist ein erstrebenswertes Ideal. Ihr Gegenteil ist Geiz. Ihr anderes Gegenteil die Verschwendung. Oder Mut. Mut ist ein erstrebenswertes Ideal. Feigheit sein Gegenteil. Sein anderes Gegenteil ist Leichtsinn. Mit andern Worten: Das Ideal wird immer zum Hochseil. Und wir können immer nach zwei Seiten von ihm fallen. Wenn wir diesem Gedanken folgen, kommen wir weg von der Gut-Böse-Dualität. Und stattdessen zur Frage nach dem Gleichgewicht. Zur Frage nach der Mittezeit.

Natürlich steht es uns frei all das zu denken. Oder auch nicht zu denken. Denn selbstverständlich ist es möglich es nicht zu denken und bei einer Dualitätsvorstellung festhängen zu bleiben. Es wird uns nur nicht helfen Frieden zu denken und in Frieden zu handeln. Wenn wir wollen können wir durch das Aufspannen einer Trinität einen neuen Raum eröffnen und betreten. In ihm wird Frieden aktiv führbar, denn er wird eine Gleichgewichtssituation in uns selbst! – Nicht eine, sich einander gegenüberstehender äußerer Mächte!

Gehen wir noch einen Schritt weiter in unserer Betrachtung, können wir feststellen, dass es durchaus einen Unterschied macht nach welcher Seite wir runter fallen. Denn auf der einen Seite ist es immer eine Verengung: Engstirnigkeit, Geiz, Feigheit in unseren Beispielen. Auf der anderen ist es immer eine Zersplitterung oder Versprühung. In unseren Beispielen Beliebigkeit, Verschwendung und Leichtsinn. Und das erstrebenswerte ist eben immer die Mitte, das von uns ständig aktualisierte Gleichgewicht.

Das interessante ist, wo diese Mitte liegt, lässt sich niemals statisch festlegen. Sie ist immer dynamisch. Denn sie kann zu unterschiedlichen Momenten an unterschiedlicher Stelle liegen. Es ist immer ein Ich, das sich in Geistesgegenwart neu ausbalanciert. Und darum ist Frieden so schwer. Wir werden ihn niemals „haben“, sondern ihm immer entgegen gehen.

Der Kriegsruf ist nichts anderes, als ein Versuch von denen, die vom Hochseil gefallen sind, uns auch herunter zu kicken.

Netter Versuch. Wird aber nichts!

In der Nussschale: Die Dualität auflösen in die Trinität der balancierenden Mitte zwischen der Geste der Versteinerung und der Geste des Zerstäubens oder Zersplitterns. Die dynamische Qualität der Mitte bemerken. Oder, tun wir es nicht, ist das gleich der erste Anstoß, der uns wieder zum Wackeln bringt. Und des Ich´s gewahr werden, das balanciert. Frieden führen ist eine Kunst.

Zero vision, great. This pretty much sums up the Bitcoin conference from last week: a repetitive parroting of Bitcoin fundamentals with zero substance beyond “buy Bitcoin, it’s the future.”

Most of the time these people will do the following thing. Sell low after buying high. Anyway, Gamestop is up 4.20% in pre-market after announcing a purchase of 4,710 Bitcoin. They're now the 13th largest public company holder of BTC in the world.

Great response on the matter by Sam Callahan: "Imagine a treasury company with 1,000 BTC earning ~10% annual yield. Sovereign, Bitcoin-native yield without counterparty risk that’s tied to the economic activity of Lightning instead of interest rate policy. At $1M per BTC, that’s $100M in annual recurring revenue."

9.7% REAL yield on a payment network while holding the keys to their BTC the entire time!! Madness! The constant claims that no one uses lightning are ridiculous.

I have rewritten Daniel Batten's quote/post on this matter:

**

'Why Pakistan’s Bitcoin Plans May Not Survive the IMF"

**

While I’m an optimist by nature—and I truly hope I’m wrong—I believe Pakistan will struggle to follow through on its Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining ambitions.

Short Answer: The IMF

Mid-Length Explanation:

• Bitcoin poses a significant threat to the IMF’s influence—on at least five fronts.
• Pakistan is heavily indebted to the IMF, and history shows a clear pattern: the IMF has already derailed or scaled back Bitcoin initiatives in all of the three countries that attempted adoption—El Salvador, Argentina, and the Central African Republic.
• Pakistan will likely face similar pushback.
• And given Pakistan’s economic vulnerabilities, it’s equally likely that the IMF will succeed.

What the IMF’s Next Steps Might Look Like

1. Manufacturing Doubt and Delay The IMF will likely begin by generating fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) around the viability of Pakistan’s Bitcoin program. Expect references to:

2. “Energy shortages”

3. “High electricity costs”
4. “Unclear regulatory frameworks”
5. “Anti-money laundering (AML) concerns”

These will be framed as responsible concerns by a seasoned financial guardian. The IMF may also imply that Pakistan acted prematurely, noting the country did not consult the IMF before announcing its Bitcoin initiative—suggesting a lack of due diligence. However, these objections are highly debatable. Multiple peer-reviewed studies show that Bitcoin mining can improve grid stability and lower electricity costs. Moreover, examples like Bhutan and El Salvador demonstrate how Bitcoin can enhance economic sovereignty. But that’s precisely the issue: economic sovereignty reduces the IMF’s lending relevance, and that’s not in the IMF’s institutional interest.

1. Weaponizing Debt and Conditionality

Under its $7 billion Extended Fund Facility program, the IMF is likely to:

• Demand FATF-compliant crypto regulation
• Prohibit state-level Bitcoin accumulation
• Tie loan disbursements to rollbacks on Bitcoin and mining-related policies

This approach exploits Pakistan’s financial dependence on IMF loans to meet external debt obligations and maintain its foreign exchange reserves.

1. Enforcing Compliance Through Vulnerability

Pakistan’s financial position leaves little room for defiance:

• It faces $12.7 billion in debt repayments in FY 2025.
• Without IMF support, reserves could fall below $4 billion, covering less than one month of imports—far below the threshold needed for macroeconomic stability.
• A repeat of early 2023, when reserves fell to $2.92 billion, would likely trigger another balance-of-payments crisis.

This would pressure the Pakistani rupee, already having depreciated from PKR 100 to over 330 per USD since 2017, and could push the country closer to default. Given its past FATF grey-listing, Pakistan cannot afford another multilateral funding freeze.

So What Does This All Mean?

It means the gloves are off.

The IMF is no longer merely advising—it’s actively resisting. Bitcoin threatens its long-standing monopoly over financially vulnerable nations, and Pakistan is shaping up to be the fourth test case of this resistance. If the IMF pressures Pakistan into reversing course, it will mark a 4-for-4 track record in blocking Bitcoin adoption efforts by countries under its financial umbrella.

The Bigger Picture

This is how entrenched institutions behave when facing disruption. They won’t stand aside—they’ll use every tool available to defend the system they control.

If a nation wants to adopt Bitcoin, it must either:

1. Be financially independent, like Bhutan or even the United States, or
2. Secure alternative funding, so IMF leverage becomes ineffective.

Bitcoin isn’t just a financial network. It’s a threat to the debt-based global order—and that means those invested in the status quo will fight back.'

So last week we received the latest Google Veo 3 AI videos. Prompt Theory (Made with Veo 3). What if AI-generated characters refused to believe they were AI-generated?

People were going nuts online with statements like: "Inevitably, this is going to end up destroying life as we know it. AI growth from just two years ago to now is insane. We are dooming ourselves. I promise you, this all ends badly for humanity."

I don't think so. Yes, in some cases it will be a bad thing. But as Guy Swann said: "They said even worse about photography No it won’t end the world. You just won’t trust anything online because you see it. We know what the solution to that is already, build local communities and use cryptographic signatures online. It just makes trust a much more valuable commodity. Which is a good thing, imo."

In the end, it will be a good thing to use Bitcoin. Build again trust, and build local communities.

Amazing how so many people in governments around the world don’t understand human nature. Same story in every country that tries this.

I suspect future attempts will include banning people from leaving entirely.

While energy companies currently receive no subsidies for building wind farms, that doesn’t mean it won’t cost us money.'

That makes sense, right?

Sun and wind are free. So the more we invest in that free energy, the more expensive energy becomes.

The climate…

The following I have asked chat GPT:

What Could €88 Billion Buy in Nuclear Energy?

Let’s take a closer look at what €88 billion could achieve if invested in nuclear power, using realistic and conservative estimates.

Average Cost of a Nuclear Power Plant

The construction of a modern nuclear power plant—such as an EPR or AP1000—typically ranges between €8 and €12 billion, depending on factors like location, scale, regulatory environment, and potential delays.

For this estimate, we'll use a conservative average of:

👉 €10 billion per plant How Many Plants for €88 Billion? Dividing the total investment by the average cost: €88 billion ÷ €10 billion = 8.8 nuclear plants

👉 This means approximately 8 to 9 large-scale nuclear power plants could be built. Electricity Output Comparison

A single 1.6 GW nuclear plant generates around 12 to 13 TWh annually. Therefore, 8 plants would produce approximately 100 TWh per year. This output would cover roughly 50% of the Netherlands’ current annual electricity consumption—and do so with a stable, low-carbon baseload supply.

Now as you might already know I am apolitical. But sjeezzzz

'How is this possible, Frans Timmerman? “You hardly need any public money to invest in renewables,” he said! Was this ignorance or deliberate misinformation? Socialist “solutions” should always come with a clear warning label:

🚨 Warning: Past socialist outcomes guarantee deep misery for the future.

Plenty of examples. Everyone is equally poor! “Climate justice.” Who comes up with this stuff?'

This gave central banks like the Federal Reserve more flexibility to manage domestic issues like inflation and jobs but made global economic ties more complex. The collapse happened due to U.S. dollar surpluses from spending on the Vietnam War and trade deficits, leading to gold reserve losses as countries like France swapped dollars for gold. Nixon ended dollar-gold convertibility to protect reserves. This shift caused trends like higher inflation and inequality, often linked to "WTF Happened in 1971?" debates.

Lysander: "Lyn Alden gave one of the clearest breakdowns of why the U.S. is on an unstoppable fiscal path—and why Bitcoin matters more than ever because of it.

Lyn Alden walks through the numbers behind the federal deficit, interest expenses, Social Security, and the structural changes that happened post-2008. The short version? We’re in a new era. One where the government can’t slow down even if it wants to.

The debt is compounding. The interest expense is rising. The trust funds are running dry. And the political will to do anything about it doesn’t exist.

Her phrase: “Nothing stops this train.” Not because of ideology, but because of math—and human nature.

This isn’t hyperinflation doom-talk. It’s a sober look at what happens when a system built on ever-growing debt reaches its limits—and why Bitcoin, with its fixed supply and transparent rules, is the opposite of that system.

Highly recommend watching this one all the way through."

Wie schon gewohnt durch die Empfänge von Baerbock und von der Leyen im Ausland, in Washington ein Empfang etwas oberhalb der 1. Class, von Staatsempfang keine Spur. Passt eigentlich auch nicht für den 51. Bundesstaat der USA. Aber immerhin flog die „Bundesrepublik Deutschland“ ohne Pannen, das ist ja auch schon mal was. Und bei solch einem erfahrenen Chef-Co-Piloten an Bord, der auch mal schnell einspringen könnte, sozusagen als 2. Wahl, kann eigentlich gar nichts mehr schief gehen. Vielleicht hat Fritzchen den Kapitän auch gefragt, ob er auch mal ans Steuer darf, wenn sich die Gelegenheit schon bietet.

Im Gepäck die eingerahmte Geburtsurkunde von Großvater Trump. Als ob Donald die sich nicht selbst besorgen könnte, wenn er Interesse daran hätte. Vielleicht hat er sie auch schon.

Die Übergabe, kurz und schmerzlos. Sie erinnert an einen Sketch von Loriot, „Weihnachten bei Hoppenstedts“:…oh, eine Krawatte! Der versprochene Ehrenplatz wird sich vermutlich in einer der unteren Etagen des Weißen Hauses befinden.

Man muss auch erst einmal darauf kommen, so typisch deutsch: Eine Geburtsurkunde als Geschenk. Das könnte man auch als einen Wink mit dem Zaunpfahl ansehen: Erinnere Dich an Deine deutschen Wurzeln (und lass uns gefälligst nicht fallen?).

Jetzt zur Einschätzung des Treffens: Vorfahrt mit frisch gewaschenem Auto, Schwarz-Rot-Gold vorne am Kotflügel, wie es sich gehört, Schwarz-Rot-Gold am Eingang. Ganz schön rechts. Warum eigentlich nicht die Regenbogenfahne?

Begrüßung durch Trump auf Nachfrage eines Reporters: „I love the People of Germany.“

Und Merz nutzt die Gelegenheit sich in Biedermeier-Style einzuschmeicheln: „And I love the People of America.“

Und Trump erwidert: „That‘s good!“

In welcher Atmosphäre findet das Treffen statt?

Trump hat ein Elefantengedächtnis. Er weiß um die abwertenden, diplomatiefreien Aussagen, die Merz über ihn gemacht hat. Er weiß, dass Merz ihn mehrfach persönlich beleidigend angegriffen hat. Als Präsident der USA steht man darüber. Aber man weiß es! Trump ist sich darüber im Klaren, mit welcher Geisteshaltung er es bei Merz zu tun hat.

Vor dem Hintergrund passt seine Aussage zur Presse: „Ich liebe die Deutschen.“ Das ist eine demokratische und höfliche Sympathiebekundung gegenüber der deutschen Bevölkerung, die Merz zwar miteinschließt, aber nicht direkt an ihn gerichtet ist.

Trump begrüßt Merz mit Handschlag, begrüßt aber eigentlich nicht den Kanzler, sondern die Deutschen.

Andererseits darf der Äußerung „Ich liebe die Deutschen“ auch nicht zu viel Bedeutung beigemessen werden, denn die Amerikaner sind ja dafür bekannt, dass sie gerne und schnell alles lieben: I love America, I love Coca-Cola, I love Peanuts und eben auch I love the People of Germany.

Merz nutzt gleich die Gelegenheit, sich anzubiedern, in dem er pariert: „Und ich liebe die Amerikaner.“, worauf Trump antwortet: „That’s good!“ Das kann man übersetzen mit „Das ist gut!“, aber auch mit „Das ist auch gut so!“, bei letzterem wäre es eine versteckte Drohung. Mach Dir bewusst, wo Du bist und mit wem Du es zu tun hast und verhalte Dich danach!

Nonverbal wird dem sonst in Deutschland so eloquent wirken wollenden, akzentuiert sprechenden Merz die Bedeutung zugedacht, die ihm aus Sicht von Trump gebührt. In Frankfurt heißen sie Wiener, in Wien heißen sie Frankfurter.

Somit sind die Voraussetzungen, unter denen das Treffen stattfinden soll, schon einmal von amerikanischer Seite aus geklärt.

Du bist hier Gast in meinem Haus, also benimm Dich auch entsprechend! Ich bin der Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika und Du bist klein Fritzchen aus dem Sauerland. Die Machtverhältnisse sind unausgesprochen geklärt.

Man hat in gewohnter Manier Platz genommen. Die Journalisten stellen Ihre Fragen ausschließlich an Trump. Zufall, oder Teil einer orchestrierten Aufführung, das wird man nie erfahren.

So oder so, die Journalisten signalisieren durch ihre Fragen an Trump, auf welcher Seite sie stehen, es weht der Geist von „America first“. Was Germany dazu zu sagen hat, interessiert niemanden, warum auch?

Die Einseitigkeit ist schon sehr auffällig. Eigentlich hätte es die Journalisten interessieren müssen, wie Deutschland zu verschiedenen Themen steht. Keine Fragen an Merz zu Zöllen, zur Ukraine, zur Meinungsfreiheit, zur Opposition. Mit dem Anspruch, ein breites Spektrum an Meinungen abbilden zu wollen, hat das eigentlich nichts zu tun. Wenn das die Vorstellung von „Freedom of Speach“ ist, dann können hier Zweifel aufkommen.

Falls diese Fragerunde in Hollywood-Manier gestaltet wurde, dann spräche das eher für Propaganda pro Trump. Wäre es Propaganda, dann wäre das Ziel allerdings erreicht worden: Kein Mensch interessiert sich für das, was Deutschland, vertreten durch Merz, zu sagen hat.

Trump setzt dem Ganzen zum Schluss noch die Krone auf, in dem er die Journalisten auffordert, nun endlich doch auch noch ein paar Fragen an Merz zu richten. Das unterstreicht nochmals das (geplante oder ungeplante) Desinteresse der anwesenden Journalisten, die sich nun fast schon genötigt fühlen, anstandshalber etwas zu fragen.

Merz, der bisher brav wie ein Schüler dem Lehrer zugehört hat, muss nun blitzschnell entscheiden, wie er die „künstlich“ hergestellte Möglichkeit nutzen kann, um, etwas unter Druck, durch die Kürze der Zeit, mit wenigen Worten seinen Standpunkt nach außen zu tragen. Seine konzentrierte Kernbotschaft, die Essenz, die Deutschland aus den USA und die übrige Welt hören soll, ist: Er steht weiter an der Seite der Ukraine und Russland ist ausschließlich das Böse.

Ganz schön raffiniert, denn so hat Trump es geschafft, das Konzentrat der Merz’schen Logik aus ihm herauszupressen.

Beide bekunden den Willen zum Frieden. Gleichzeitig wird jedoch auch klar, was jeder unter Frieden versteht: Merz will „Frieden durch Krieg“ und Trump will „Frieden durch Frieden“.

Auf rund 45 Minuten Trump kommen rund 4 Minuten Merz. Die Minuten drücken exakt die Machtverhältnisse aus.

Hätte Trump vorgehabt, Merz vorzuführen, ihm die Ohren langzuziehen, ihn bis auf die Knochen zu blamieren, er hätte reichlich Möglichkeiten dazu gehabt.

Er hätte Merz fragen können, warum er seinerzeit meinte, dass ihn, Trump, als Arschloch zu bezeichnen, noch gelinde sei. Er hätte ihn fragen können, warum er Trump als Gefahr für die Demokratie ansieht. Trump weiß darum, er hat es jedoch nicht angesprochen, was ist der Grund dafür?

Und Vance, der ebenfalls anwesend war, hätte seine Feststellungen zur Meinungsfreiheit und der „Fire-Wall“ gegen die Opposition, die er auf der Sicherheitskonferenz in München klar formuliert hat, wiederholen können, jetzt, wo doch der Kanzler, als erster Ansprechpartner für Deutschland, persönlich hätte gefragt werden können.

Beim Besuch von Selenskyj haben beide ja auch gewaltig gezeigt, wer hier das Sagen hat.

Nichts! Keine schallende Ohrfeige für Merz, doch nur Erdnussbutter auf’s Sandwich geschmiert. Kein „You don’t have the cards…“, was den Tatsachen entsprechen würde.

Auf politischer Ebene bleibt in den USA nichts, rein gar nichts dem Zufall überlassen. Je länger man darüber nachdenkt, desto klarer kann einem werden, dass das Treffen genau so geplant war, wie es sich abgespielt hat. Aber was genau ist der Plan, der dahintersteckt? Es gibt einen, dass ist so sicher, wie das Amen in der Kirche.

Sollen sich die Deutschen, vor allem die deutsche Politik in Sicherheit wiegen? Wenn das Teil eines Planes wäre, wäre er gelungen, denn in Deutschland wird der Besuch als gelungen und erfolgreich bewertet, aus welchen Gründen auch immer. Inzwischen ist Deutschland ja Weltmeister im Schönreden.

Spannend auch die Vorstellung, wenn man die Phantasie anregt, wie das Gespräch, im Fall Merz ein Monolog, verlaufen wäre, wenn die deutsche Opposition auf dem Stuhl von Merz gesessen hätte.

Es widerspräche der Realität, wenn nicht im Hintergrund ganz andere Ziele verfolgt und Absprachen getroffen würden. Welchen Einfluss auf das Treffen hat der bevorstehende NATO-Gipfel am 24. und 25. Juni 2025 in Den Haag?

Es drängt sich immer mehr der Verdacht auf, dass man es mit zwei Realitäten zu tun hat. Eine, die offiziell verkündet wird, und eine, die den Tatsachen entspricht, die aus welchen Gründen auch immer jedoch zunächst noch im Verborgenen bleibt. Ob das vielleicht sogar gut oder eher schlecht ist, wird die Zukunft zeigen. Klar ist jedoch, dass eine gesteuerte Realität in der Öffentlichkeit verbreitet werden soll, die man durchaus als Propaganda von allen Beteiligten bewerten kann. Da hackt eine Krähe der anderen kein Auge aus. Da heißt es wachsam bleiben und nicht der Versuchung zu erliegen, das zu glauben, was man gerne glauben möchte und von dem man sich wünscht, dass es eintritt.

„Bediene Dich Deines eigenen Verstandes.“ Das ist die Aufgabe der Zeit.

I’ve written before about the distinction between a platform, like Gmail or X, and a protocol, like SMTP or nostr. The former is typically owned and centrally controlled, the latter permissionless and open to everyone. For example, Google can ban you from using its email client, but no one can prevent you from using email itself because no one owns the email protocol.

Language is also a protocol, in fact every language including English. Anyone, even your worst enemy who knows it can make himself understood by those who understand it. Dictionaries and grammar guides exist, but over time even they bend to common usage and are forced to include new words and rules over time because no one owns or unilaterally controls the language.

Nonetheless that doesn’t prevent people from trying. If large companies ban you from using their communications platforms like Facebook, X and Gmail, it can severely constrict your reach. Banks can’t prevent you from using physical dollars, but they can cancel your credit cards and close your accounts, if for example you’ve decided to support Canadian truckers protesting their government, making it difficult for you to transact in a society largely run on their digital rails.

Over the last few years we even saw brazen attempts to turn language into a protocol via preferred pronouns, political correctness and a government-funded “disinformation” industry. The idea was that you had to “log in” with your correct view and accurate information credential before you could participate in a discussion about a wide array of sensitive topics. If you questioned the safety and efficacy of vaccines, the fairness of the 2020 election or the origins of the Covid virus you often found yourself denied reach on various platforms and labeled “anti-vax,” “anti-science,” an “election denier” or a “conspiracy theorist.”

These labels served to circumvent substantive discussion by denying basic standing such that there was no path to a hearing on the merits. If you did not signal your bona fides via adherence to certain preferred edicts, your perspective was often summarily dismissed, not only by individuals, but also institutions at the behest of which the modern public square is administered.

In short, centralized platforms, responding to government pressure, attempted to turn self-expression and in some cases even language itself into platform. As it turns out, that attempt was a violation of the law, at least in the United States, where we have a First Amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

That the First Amendment was violated over the last five years (and is still being violated now, though more with respect to what you can say about Israel and the conflict raging therein) is not surprising. The Constitution is merely a piece of paper and as such wholly dependent on succeeding generations’ willingness to stand up for it. Governments are always, by their nature, top down and fascistic insofar as they use force to achieve their desired ends, and it would be naive to think a piece of paper should stop them from doing so given a sufficiently compliant populace.

Put differently, the consecrated ideas in the piece of paper must be perpetuated to retain their binding effect. And rational arguments as to their supremacy over the expedience of the day (“people are dying, it’s a once in a century pandemic!”) often fall on propagandized ears. A list of sacrosanct principles is no failsafe for mass formation psychosis, and sophisticated and powerful factions have learned to foment manias as needed to overwhelm the average person’s dedication to them.

But just as gunpowder to some extent democratized the use of force 600 years ago, the spread of new technologies has the potential to enforce the First Amendment in perpetuity in a way the Framers with their pen and paper could not. In fact, we can re-write the First Amendment for the modern digital age in simplified form:

Religion and speech are ever protocols, never platforms.

In essence, no centralized entity can control, capture or censor them. But instead of simply stating this as a matter of principle, we can now, via Bitcoin and nostr, instantiate it into a decentralized ecosystem with the use of distributed nodes and unbreakable encryption. All the king’s horses and all the king’s men would more have as much chance of re-assembling Humpty Dumpty, contra the laws of entropy, as cracking your private keys. Inducing manias in the general public and using it as a lever on centralized gatekeepers works only at the platform level, but necessarily fails versus a distributed protocol.

The solution then in the face of an indifferent and obedient population to restoring the principles on which freedom and the prospect of human prosperity depend is to develop and use unstoppable, uncensorable technology, i.e., digital protocols, to circumvent the walled-garden platforms run by centralized tech behemoths. Yes, advocating for the principles in the founding documents is good and useful, but building and using tools that instantiate them is also necessary.

If enough people transact peer to peer in bitcoin rather than over the closed-circuit rails of the global banking system, and enough people share information over nostr, rather than via the centralized tech platforms, laws and actions that violate free speech would be as effective as ones outlawing gravity or laws of thermodynamics.

The next revolution won’t be with the guillotine or the pitchfork, but bottom-up person to person, permissionless interaction and transaction. You can still be excommunicated from the platforms by their commissars and state apparatchiks, but their edicts no longer run merely afoul of a consecrated piece of paper — they come up against an infrastructure over which they no longer have enforceable jurisdiction.

President Donald Trump attends a meeting with the Fraternal Order of Police in the State Dinning Room of the White House, Thursday, June 5, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)

Last Friday, President Donald Trump heaped praise on Elon Musk as the tech billionaire prepared to leave his unorthodox White House job.

Less than a week later, their potent political alliance met a dramatic end Thursday when the men attacked each other with blistering epithets. Trump threatened to go after Musk’s business interests. Musk called for Trump’s impeachment.

social media posts urging lawmakers to oppose deficit spending and increasing the debt ceiling.

“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,” Musk posted, a reference to Musk’s record political spending last year, which topped $250 million.

“Such ingratitude,” he added.

Trump's Video

Trump said Musk had worn out his welcome at the White House and was mad that Trump was changing electric vehicle policies in ways that would financially harm Musk-led Tesla.

“Elon was ‘wearing thin,’ I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!” Trump wrote.

He added: “The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!”

Musk goes nuclear “Time to drop the really big bomb: Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!” — Musk, Thursday, X post.

---

In a series of posts, he shined a spotlight on ties between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, the financier who killed himself while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Some loud voices in Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement claim Epstein’s suicide was staged by powerful figures, including prominent Democrats, who feared Epstein would expose their involvement in trafficking. Trump’s own FBI leaders have dismissed such speculation and there’s no evidence supporting it.

Later, when an X user suggested Trump be impeached and replaced by Vice President JD Vance, Musk agreed.

“Yes,” he wrote.

“I don’t mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago,” Trump wrote. He went on to promote his budget bill.

*Elon Musk, the tech mogul, says US President Donald Trump would have lost the 2024 election without him.*

Musk made the comment on X in response to Trump’s criticism against him.

Musk, who led the department of government efficiency (DOGE), quit his role a day after he spoke out against a Trump-backed spending bill. The president called it a “Big Beautiful Bill”.

The controversial bill is a centrepiece of Trump’s second-term domestic agenda, combining major tax cuts, stricter immigration enforcement, welfare programme overhauls, and significant increases in border security funding.

The legislation sparked intense debate across the country and in Congress and was only passed after a nail-biting 215-214 vote.

The plan revived the US-Mexico border wall with a $46.5 billion budget, $350 billion for deportation efforts and border security, and a hiring spree of 10,000 new ICE agents, 5,000 customs officers, and 3,000 border patrol agents.

For the first time, migrants will be charged a $1,000 fee to apply for asylum.

The bill also authorises a $4 trillion increase to the national debt ceiling, while the estate tax exemption jumped to $15 million, benefiting wealthier Americans.

Critics including Musk called the bill fiscally irresponsible and “a disgusting abomination” due to its combination of large tax cuts and spending increases.

Musk had clamoured for DOGE’s creation to save taxpayers $2 trillion. Only $160 billion has been saved so far.

*TRUMP: I’M VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH ELON*

Since Musk’s exit from the White House last week, his criticism of the bill has grown louder.

Speaking on the issue, Trump said he was “very disappointed with Elon”.

The US president said the Tesla CEO was satisfied with the bill but only grew discontent after he found out electric vehicles would be impacted.

“I’m very disappointed because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here. He knew everything about it, and all of a sudden he had a problem, and he only developed a problem when he found out I was going to cut the EV mandate because that’s billions and billions of dollars,” the president said

“And it really is unfair; we want to have cars of all types.

“He said the most beautiful things about me, and he hasn’t said anything bad about me personally, but I’m sure that will be next. But I’m really disappointed with Elon. I’ve helped Elon a lot.”

Trump praised Musk for his work at DOGE but blamed his tantrums on missing the office.

“Elon worked hard at DOGE, and I think he misses the place. I think he got out there, and all of a sudden, he’s no longer in this beautiful Oval Office,” he said.

“He’s not the first. People leave my administration, and they love us, and then at some point they miss it so badly, and some of them embrace it, and some of them actually become hostile. I don’t know what it is, some sort of Trump derangement syndrome.”

The president also said he would have won Pennsylvania, a key state, without Musk’s help.

In reaction, the billionaire businessman countered Trump.

“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House, and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,” Musk tweeted.

“Such ingratitude.”

The exchange marks yet another dent in the tumultuous relationship between the two-time American president and the world’s richest man.

Solving Sybil Attacks on Bitcoin Libre Relay Nodes — Are Social Solutions Better than Technical Ones?

Peter Todd posted that proponents of transaction "filtering" have started Sybil attacking Libre Relay nodes by running nodes with their "Garbageman" fork. These malicious nodes pretend to support NODE_LIBRE_RELAY, but secretly drop certain transactions that would be relayed by real Libre Relay nodes. He also highlighted the complexity of existing defenses and proposed a new angle: rather than relying on technical solutions, he encourages people to manually peer with nodes operated by people they personally know, arguing that human relationships can sometimes evaluate honesty more reliably than code.

Toward a Unified Identity Lookup Standard to Improve Lightning Payments

Bitcoin developer Aviv Bar-el introduced a new proposal — Well-Known Bitcoin Identity Endpoint — that aims to simplify wallet lookups for users’ Bitcoin addresses and identity data via a standardized HTTPS interface, thereby improving both the UX and security of Lightning and on-chain payments.

A Commit/Reveal Mechanism to Strengthen Bitcoin Against Quantum Threats

Tadge Dryja proposed a soft fork for Bitcoin to defend against quantum attacks, based on a variant of the commit/reveal Fawkescoin mechanism. While similar to Tim Ruffing’s earlier proposal, it includes key differences:

• It does not use encryption, instead relying on smaller, hash-based commitments, and describes activation as a soft fork.
• It only applies to outputs where public keys or scripts haven't been revealed — like pubkey hash or script hash outputs. It also works with Taproot, but must be spent via the script path, as the key-path is no longer quantum-secure.
• What to do about already-exposed public keys is a separate issue — this proposal is compatible with both "burning the coins" and "letting them be stolen."

Countdown to the Quantum Crisis: Is Bitcoin Ready?

A recent report from Chaincode Labs analyzes the threat of cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQC), and the technical, economic, and governance challenges Bitcoin faces in preparing. Their key conclusions:

• Timeline Assessment: CRQC capable of breaking Bitcoin's elliptic curve cryptography may emerge between 2030 and 2035.
• Scope of Vulnerable Funds: An estimated 20–50% of circulating BTC (4M–10M coins) may be vulnerable.
  • Long-range attacks target inherently vulnerable script types (P2PK, P2MS, P2TR) and addresses with previously exposed public keys (via address reuse), allowing attackers unbounded time to derive private keys from public information already available on the blockchain.
  • Short-range attacks, which affect all Bitcoin script types, exploit the vulnerability window between transaction broadcast and confirmation (or shortly thereafter) when public keys are temporarily exposed, requiring attackers to act within a timeframe of minutes to hours.
• Action Strategy: A dual-track approach is recommended:
  • Short-term contingency: minimal but functional protections within ~2 years.
  • Full-featured solutions: comprehensive research and fully developed defenses within ~7 years.

This strategy balances immediate needs with rigorous development to ensure Bitcoin can adapt, regardless of CRQC progress.

Enforcing Arbitrary Constraints on Bitcoin Transactions with zkSNARKs

Current methods for constraining Bitcoin transactions fall short on privacy or programmability. This research proposes a new zkSNARK-based design to impose arbitrary constraints on Bitcoin transactions while preserving some information privacy. By bypassing Bitcoin Script’s non-Turing-completeness, the approach allows unbounded constraints—constraints that repeat a certain operation an unbounded number of times. Read the paper.

First Cross-Chain Bridge Between Bitcoin and Cardano Is Live

A trust-minimized bridge from Bitcoin to Cardano has launched using the Cardinal protocol, enabling Ordinals to move between the two chains. The Cardinal protocol is based on BitVMX and facilitates asset movement without compromising ownership or security.

Its core mechanism is a committee-based validation model under a 1-out-of-n honest security model — meaning even if all but one validator is malicious, the system remains secure. This approach enhances decentralization and censorship resistance for cross-chain asset transfers.

Thunderbolt Protocol: Redefining Bitcoin Smart Contracts with UTXO Bundling and OP_CAT

Nubit’s Thunderbolt is seen as one of the most significant technical upgrades to Bitcoin in a decade, whose overall observation resembles “Lightning Network 2.0.” Rather than relying on Layer 2 networks or bridges, Thunderbolt upgrades the Bitcoin base layer via soft fork to enhance scalability, performance, and programmability:

• Throughput: Uses UTXO Bundling to optimize traditional transaction processing.
• Programmability: Reintroduces and extends OP_CAT.
• Asset protocols: Integrates Goldinals standard — a zk-proof and state-commitment-based asset issuance framework.
• Unlike rollups, Plasma, sidechains, or bridges, Thunderbolt scales directly on the main chain. With BitVisa, it enables decentralized identity and credentials, supporting transaction compression, smart contracts, asset standard integration, and on-chain transaction matching — all on Bitcoin main chain.

Bitcoin 2025 Conference Recap: Politicians Applaud, Stablecoins Spotlighted, DeFi Absent

This year’s Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas gathered major political figures and corporate leaders. U.S. Vice President JD Vance strongly endorsed crypto and positioned Bitcoin as a strategic asset in U.S.–China competition. He also stated that stablecoins won’t undermine the U.S. dollar, but could actually amplify America’s economic strength.

White House “Crypto Czar” David Sacks delivered a major policy announcement, hinting that under Trump’s executive order, the U.S. has a legal framework to acquire more Bitcoin for strategic reserves.

In addition, stablecoin regulation and crypto market reform were hot topics. Ardoido, the company controls over 60% of the stablecoin market, claimed “All the traditional financial firms will create stablecoins that will be offered to their existing customers.” Meanwhile, Tether emphasized its focus on underserved global populations excluded from the existing banking system.

A conference recap also noted that, unlike the 2022 and 2023 summits, this year’s event was dominated by Bitcoin maximalists, Ordinals creators, mining capitalists, and regulatory lobbyists — no longer DeFi builders, DAO operators, or Layer 2 scaling advocates. Developers from Ethereum and Solana ecosystems were notably absent. This may signal:

• The conference’s heavy political and sovereignty-driven tone made it less suitable for the tech-centric narratives favored by these developers.
• There may be a growing ideological and narrative rift between Web3 builders and the Bitcoin camp.

Top Reads on Blockchain and Beyond

Rethinking Governance After the Sui Attack: Decentralization, Procedural Legitimacy, and the Plurality of Blockchain Values

Following a major hack of Cetus, the largest DEX in the Sui ecosystem, the Sui network executed a protocol-level asset freeze and recovery. While this was an effective technical response, it also triggered criticism and debate around core blockchain principles such as censorship resistance and decentralization.

The author of this article questioned the absolutist stance that views decentralization as the highest—and sole—value. The author argues that most rational individuals would prefer “living in a society where decentralization is a supreme value but coercive force is allowed when someone infringes on another’s property,” over “a society where decentralization is the only supreme value, and thus coercive force is never permitted under any circumstances.”

In addition, the author also expressed disappointment at Sui’s “paternalistic” governance — particularly how validators acted during the incident. Sui uses a delegated proof-of-stake (dPoS) system, where token holders delegate their voting power to validators. This means individuals lose their direct say. But blockchain governance could be more individual-friendly and flexible. For instance, in Cosmos’ governance model, for certain specific proposal, users still can override their delegations and vote independently, more favorable than Sui’s model.

Beyond the debate on decentralization and governance, the article also proposes an alternative perspective: what matters most is establishing procedural legitimacy that aligns with the system’s vision. Different blockchain projects pursue different goals. For Sui, the core mission is to enable assets to be reliably defined and interact seamlessly on-chain. Therefore, judging Sui through the lens of other blockchains’ values or paradigms is misguided. In exceptional cases, prioritizing asset recovery and ecosystem stability over strict adherence to censorship resistance aligns more closely with Sui’s long-term vision. Whether Sui had chosen to not to censor related transactions or to intervene in the Cetus case, as long as the action follows a legitimate process, either decision is justifiable.

TEE-Based Private Proof Delegation

The PSE research and development team has built a system based on Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) using Intel TDX for secure zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) delegation. This system enables clients to privately outsource large proving tasks without leaking inputs. Unlike mobile-native proving constrained by hardware limits, TEE-based approaches support significantly larger statements today—and will scale further as proof systems improve. As a hardware-backed solution, TEEs remain compatible with future advancements in software (e.g., faster proof systems, more efficient implementations) and won't be invalidated by them, as long as the trust model is acceptable.

AI and Identity: Proof of Humanity in a World of Agents, Bots, and Deepfakes

We are living in a time where AI—including agents, bots, and deepfakes—is fundamentally reshaping the internet. As AI continues to evolve, identity verification on the web is becoming more crucial than ever. A recent a16z podcast explores the idea of “Proof of Human”—the challenge of verifying human identity online, diving into why it matters, common questions, and how such systems work under the hood.

When onboarding friends and family, there's the wish to provide them with something that's self-custodial and not too complex. For people that are starting slow but will keep stacking in the future, we cannot just recommend them to stack 10k sats or 100k sats UTXOs. Since they're stacking for the long term it doesn't seem responsible to recommend them that.

So there comes the Lightning Network. They could stack there and swap out eventually when they reach 1-10M sats. The thing is, Lightning (in its self-custodial form) isn't really fit for this use case. Because to receive 100k sats, you first need to get some inbound liquidity from LSPs that sometimes isn't even 2x the amount you're receiving. So at best it's good for your next 100k but then you'll have to do something onchain again.

And you can always open channels to them yourself. But it's hard to predict who will stack hard and who will just forget about it. Also it puts some responsibility onto your node's uptime.

What I'm doing lately is recommending something like Wallet of Satoshi. As some kind of entry level test. Because if you have to explain onchain fees, UTXOs, channels, and inbound liquidity to a newbie, they're going to run away. Then whoever passes the first test might get a channel from your node or at least from an LSP on a self-custodial wallet.

And in general, LN is not good for stacking. If onchain fees were off the roof you would struggle to resize or open new channels while growing your stack.

So what's the way of scaling Bitcoin so that hundreds of millions of people can save in a self-custodial way?

Maybe multipeer channels make things better, where people in the “spending more than saving” part of their life could peer up with others doing the opposite. Or maybe it's something like Fedimint.

But on the other hand, should we be worrying about this now? Onchain fees are soooo cheap (as cheap as possible actually).

What do you think?

Šta je Bitcoin?

Bitcoin je peer to peer mreža u kojoj svako može da učestvuje. Omogućava vam da bezbedno čuvate vrednost tokom vremena i da je prenesete bilo kome drugom u bilo kom trenutku bez potrebe za trećom stranom. Ima fiksni i transparentni raspored inflacije koji se ne može menjati po volji poput „običnog“ novca. To je novac, za internet.

Zašto je Bitcoin važan?

Omogućava kriptografski sigurna prekogranična plaćanja koja su otporna na cenzuru. To je prvi i jedini oblik apsolutne digitalne nestašice i njime ne upravlja nijedna osoba ili grupa. Kao rezultat toga, nijedna svetska vlada se ne može mešati u njega.

Kako Bitcoin funkcioniše?

Ana šalje transakciju iz svog novčanika koju prima 1000 učesnika mreže, koji jedni drugima govore da Ana želi da pošalje Marku. Transakciju vidi rudar (majner) koji posvećuje računarsku snagu grupišući Aninu transakciju u blok, zajedno sa puno drugih transakcija. Jednom kada se Anina transakcija iskopa u blok, Marko će u novčaniku imati odgovarajuću količinu Bitcoin-a.

Ko je izumeo Bitcoin?

Svet je saznao za Bitcoin 2008. godine kada je anonimni mrežni entitet pod nazivom „Satoshi Nakamoto“ podelio Bitcoin White Paper na online mailing listu. Satoshi je nestao 2011. godine i od tada nikada nije viđen online. Tokom godina, stotine programera širom sveta nastavili su da doprinose i poboljšavaju Bitcoin protokol.

Šta daje vrednost Bitcoinu?

Oskudan je (biće ih samo 21 milion) i to može da proveri svako ko ima običan računar od 30 dolara. Ima ogromnu količinu računarske snage posvećene osiguranju svoje distribuirane knjige. Mreža doslovno plaća ljudima da zaštite njen integritet i deluju u dobroj nameri. „Cena“ Bitcoin-a u $ ili € određuje se jednostavnom tržišnom ponudom i potražnjom.

Ko kontroliše mrežu?

Pojednostavljeno, svi i niko. Svako kontroliše sopstveno učešće u mreži i mreža je strukturirana tako da loši akteri ne mogu uspeti. Nijedan programer ne može da podstakne bilo kakve promene koda. Nijedan rudar ne može cenzurisati određene transakcije. Nijedan korisnik ne može prevariti sistem i trošiti Bitcoin koji nema ili koji mu ne pripada.

Da li je Bitcoin anoniman?

Na mrežnom nivou, Bitcoin-i nisu ’označeni’ ni za jedan javni identitet. Protokol zna samo za nizove slova i brojeva poznate kao adresa. Međutim, preduzeća izgrađena na vrhu Bitcoin-a, poput KYC menjačnica, na kojima je moguće kupiti Bitcoin, mogu povezati vaš stvarni identitet sa Bitcoin-om kupljenim preko njih. Knjiga transakcija Bitcoin-a je potpuno javna, tako da je moguće pratiti poznate javne entitete preko mreže.

Šta je to blockchain?

Blockchain (lanac blokova) je javna knjiga koja sadrži kopiju svake pojedinačne bitcoin transakcije koja je ikada završena. Rudari se takmiče ko će proizvoditi blokove za naknade za transakcije i blok subvencije. Svaki uspešni blok je kriptografski povezan ili „vezan lancem” za svog prethodnika.

Mogu li vlade to zaustaviti?

Vlade bi apsolutno mogle učiniti Bitcoin nezakonitim u njihovoj nadležnosti. U stvari, Kina i Nigeria su to već učinile, više puta, ali ekosistem i dalje cveta. Distribuirana priroda Bitcoin-a znači da bi u stvarnosti bio potreban monumentalni koordinirani napad mnogih svetskih sila da zaustavi njegov rast.

Zar ga ne koriste kriminalci?

Bitcoin je novac, i bilo koji novac može biti korišćen od strane kriminalaca. U 2017. godini procenjeno je da celokupno tržište trgovine drogom vredi $500,000,000,000 (500 biliona) dolara. Po trenutnim cenama to bi moglo kupiti celokupnu Bitcoin mrežu! Verovatno je pošteno reći da se ogromna većina nelegalnih aktivnosti finansira iz tradicionalnih valuta.

Zar ne troši energiju?

Tačno je da Bitcoin mreža troši mnogo energije, ali trošenje energije za obezbeđivanje i upravljanje globalnom mrežom za plaćanja koja pružaju ogromne vrednosti milionima ljudi ne bi trebalo smatrati „rasipnim“. Rudarstvo Bitcoin-a je već počelo da podstiče inovacije u korišćenju alternativnih (često rasipanih) izvora energije kao što je gorivi gas ili obnovljivi izvori energije. Bitcoin mreža u 2021 godini troši 0.1% energije koja se proizvede.

Koliko ima bitcoin-a?

U vreme pisanja ovog dokumenta, iskopano je nešto manje od 19 miliona bitcoin-a. Može postojati samo 21 milion, a poslednji će se iskopati oko 2140. godine. Svaki bitcoin može se podeliti na 100 miliona Satošija ili "sats-ova", tako da ima mnogo toga u ponudi.

Kako nastaju bitcoin-i?

Novi bitcoin-i nastaju kao rezultat globalno distribuiranog i visoko konkurentnog rudarskog procesa. Svaki novo izrudareni blok nagrađuje uspešnog rudara subvencijom. U vreme pisanja ovog teksta, ova subvencija je 6,25 bitcoin-a. Ponovo će se prepoloviti 2024. godine na 3,125 bitcoin-a nakon još 210 000 blokova (otprilike svake 4 godine).

Šta je to rudarenje?

Proces učesnika koji doprinose velikim količinama računarske snage za obradu transakcija u blokove. Jednom kada grupišu ove transakcije, rudar izvršava ponavljajući računski zadatak na njima, pokušavajući da pronadje odgovor koji je ispod određenog cilja. Ako su uspešni, blok je iskopan - majnovan, i rudar prima naknade za transakcije i subvenciju bloka. Proces zatim započinje ponovo, kao i sledeća grupa transakcija.

Gde ga mogu kupiti?

Postoji mnoštvo online menjačnica na kojima možete kupiti bitcoin-e, mada biste trebali da obratite pažnju kada tražite mesto za kupovinu. Najbolji način da dobijete vaš prvi deo bitcoin-a je da ga kupite od pouzdanog prijatelja ili člana porodice. Zapamtite - Možete kupiti delić bitcoin-a (u svakom je 100 miliona sats-ova)! Pogledajte ovde neke od preporuka.

Uobičajene greške

Saveti kako ne biste napravili iste greške kao i mi

Bitcoin alternative

„Kripto“ prostor je preplavljen alternativnim valutama, takozvanim aplikacijama „decentralizovanog finansiranja“, i nekim čistim prevarama. Može izgledati vrlo primamljivo da se uključite u ove projekte jer oni imaju puno zvučnih reči i izgledaju „jeftino“ u poređenju sa Bitcoin-om. Gotovo svi ovi projekti nisu ništa drugo do marketinške i modne priče i treba ih istraživati sa oprezom.

Kupovina KYC bitcoin-a

Kupovina KYC bitcoin-a od nekih kao što je ECD menjačnica je dosta brz i jednostavan način kupovine bitcoin-a. Ne kažemo da to apsolutno ne bi trebalo da radite, ali želimo da znate koji su kompromisi. Kada se registrujete kod ovih kompanija, moraćete da dostavite neki oblik foto-ID-a koji označava bitcoin koji kupujete za vaš javni identitet. Zbog javne prirode Bitcoin bloka, nadzorne kompanije mogu da vas ‘prate’ i gledaju vaše buduće transakcije.

Neistraživanje drugih mogućnosti kupovine

Dakle, ne sviđa vam se zvuk KYC bitcoin-a, i koje su druge opcije? To su Peer to Peer menjačnice kao što su Bisq i HodlHodl koje koriste uslugu pratnje kako bi vam omogućile da kupujete bitcoin-e od nekoga bilo gde u svetu, ali one uglavnom nisu tako jednostavne za upotrebu kao alternative KYC. Ubedljivo najlakša opcija za počinjanje je da kupite neku količinu od prijatelja ili člana porodice. Raspitajte se, napolju je mnogo više Bitcoin-era nego što mislite!

Ne pokrećete svoj Node

Jednostavno, ako ne koristite svoj čvor (eng. node), onda koristite tuđi, bilo da ga poznajete ili ne. Tako Bitcoin funkcioniše. Povezivanje novčanika sa sopstvenim čvorom znači da se ne oslanjate na bilo koga drugog da izvršava transakcije, što daje ogromne prednosti privatnosti. Korišćenjem sopstvenog čvora takođe možete biti uvereni da su podaci prikazani u novčaniku tačni i da se pridržavaju pravila vašeg Bitcoin čvora.

Ostavljanje Bitcoin-a na menjačnicama

Da, kupio sam KYC Bitcoin i pošto nisam znao kako da upravljam novčanikom, ostavio sam ga na menjačnici. Ako imate bitcoin na menjačnici, nemate bitcoin. Imate IOU (zadužnica) i trebali biste naučiti dovoljno (uz našu pomoć, nadamo se) da taj bitcoin izvadite sa menjačnice i prebacite u novčanik nad kojim vi kontrolišete privatne ključeve. U prošlosti je bilo više slučajeva hakovanja na menjačnici, i ljudi su izgubili velike količine bitcoin-a, zato ne dozvolite da to budete vi.

Slanje vaših privatnih ključeva nekome

Srećom ja nikada nisam pao na ovo, ali mnogi ljudi jesu. Sasvim je uobičajeno u javnim čet grupama poput telegrama, da se prevaranti predstavljaju kao neko iz zajednice Bitcoin-a koji nude podršku nekome ko možda traži pomoć. NIKADA.....ALI NIKADA ne dajte svoje privatne ključeve ili seed reči nikome, posebno ne na Internetu.

Nesigurno čuvanje seed reči

Vaše seed reči su ključevi vašeg bitcoin-a, i svako ko ima kontrolu nad njima može pristupiti vašim sredstvima. Trebalo bi da ih čuvate na siguran način, ali imajte na umu da ih ne čuvate tako sigurno, da i vi zaboravite gde su. Verovali ili ne, to se jako često dešava. Nije dobra ideja da ih čuvate na računaru.

Slanje na pogrešnu adresu

Zahvaljujući QR kodovima koji se mogu skenirati i funkcijama za otkrivanje grešaka koje su implementirane u novčanike, ovo danas postaje prilično teško učiniti. Bitcoin adrese su dugi nizovi brojeva i slova, tako da je uvek dobra praksa koristiti QR kodove ili u najmanju ruku copy/paste kada šaljete nekome. Takođe je dobar savet da bar jednom vizuelno proverite adresu pre slanja.

Postajete uzbudjeni

Što više naučite, to ćete biti više uzbuđeni zbog Bitcoin-a. Meni se još uvek to dešava! Ovo se može desiti ako provedete dosta vremena na Bitcoin Twitter-u, tamo je vrlo lako postati previše uzbudjen, i kupiti više nego što možete priuštiti sebi. Bitcoin je mlada i izuzetno nestabilna imovina, trebalo bi sami da je istražite i nikada ne kupujete više nego što možete priuštiti da izgubite. Postoji izreka u zajednici koja je vrlo dobro pravilo za život ... ‘Ostanite skromni, skupljajte sats-ove’.

Pokušavaš da trguješ

Bitcoin je izuzetno nestabilan, nije neobično kada se cena od 20% kreće u bilo kom smeru u jednom danu. Ako niste iskusni i pokušate da igrate na ovim tržištima, GUBIĆETE novac. Hodajte pažljivo.

Ne tražite pomoć

Bitcoin zajednica je živahna i korisna. Postoje stotine različitih telegram grupa, GitHub ili reddit stranica i ljudi na Twitteru koji su spremni da pomognu. Slobodno nas pitajte ako vas nešto zanima. Zapamtite, ako niste sigurni, pitajte.

Nekorišćenje 2FA

Sve što danas radimo online dolazi sa nalogom povezanim sa našim e-mailom. Ako vaš nalog e-maila postane ugrožen, to mogu biti otvorena vrata u vaš život za prevarante. Dvofaktorska autentifikacija pruža i dodatni sigurnosni sloj koji vas štiti od hakovanja. Izbegavajte upotrebu SMS autentikacije, puno bolja opcija je aplikacija ili ključ. Uobičajeni primeri uključuju Authy ili Google Authenticator.

Govoriti ljudima koliko imate Bitcoina

Bitcoin živi na Internetu, koji je, slično kao što je stvarni svet, prepun ljudi voljnih da vam uzmu vaše stvari. Govoreći o posedovanju Bitcoin-a online ili u stvarnom svetu možete sasvim bukvalno da postavite metu na svoja leđa za lopove ili prevarante. Uobičajeni pristup za ljude koji komuniciraju sa mrežom Bitcoin zajednice je stvaranje online ličnosti potpuno odvojene od njihovog stvarnog identiteta.

Novčanici Q+A

Jednostavni odgovori na vaša uobičajena pitanja o Bitcoin novčaniku

Šta je to novčanik?

Bitcoin novčanik je baš kao i vaš pravi novčanik, to je način čuvanja vrednosti. Glavna razlika sa bitcoin novčanikom je u tome što on zapravo ne skladišti bitcoin u sebi, jer Bitcoin-i postoje samo na distribuiranoj knjizi (blockchain). Bitcoin novčanik čuva ključeve potrebne za slanje i primanje vašeg Bitcoin-a preko blockchain-a.

Šta su to seed reči?

Seed reči (ili backup reči) su nizovi od 12 ili 24 engleskih nasumično generisanih reči stvorenih kada se napravi novi novčanik. Ove reči su vaša glavna rezervna kopija za čitav novčanik i ne smeju se deliti ni sa kim, niti čuvati bilo gde, gde bi mogle biti ugrožene. Svako ko ima pristup ovim rečima može vam ukrasti vaš bitcoin.

Šta je to pristupna fraza?

Pristupna fraza (eng. passphrase), često se naziva i 13./25. reč, je korisnički definisana dodatna reč ili fraza dizajnirana da doda dodatni nivo zaštite vašoj rezervnoj kopiji. Ako vaše početne reči postanu ugrožene, a vi ste definisali dodatnu pristupnu frazu, napadaču će biti potrebna vaša pristupna fraza da bi dobio pristup vašem bitcoin-u. Nikada ne čuvajte svoje seed reči i pristupnu frazu zajedno.

Šta je to privatni ključ? (private key)

Generisan iz vaših seed reči, privatni ključ je dokaz da subjekt koji ga kontroliše ima pristup trošenju sa odgovarajuće adrese. Novčanik će generisati privatni ključ za svaku adresu koju kreira. Većina korisnika Bitcoin-a danas nikada neće direktno stupiti u interakciju sa privatnim ključem, njime se automatski upravlja softverom novčanika.

Šta je to javni ključ? (public key)

Javni ključevi se koriste u transakciji da bi se verifikovalo da je vlasnik odgovarajućeg privatnog ključa kreirao važeći potpis kao dokaz o vlasništvu nad sredstvima. Opet, iz opšte perspektive korisnika, javni ključevi se nikada neće direktno koristiti ili videti.

Šta je to prošireni javni ključ? (Xpub)

Prošireni javni ključ (ili Xpub) može se gledati kao glavni pogled u vaš bitcoin novčanik. Xpub je sposoban da generiše i pregleda svaku adresu koja se nalazi u novčaniku, tako da treba da imate na umu sa kime i sa kojima delite proširene javne ključeve. Ako niste povezani sa sopstvenim node-om, velika je verovatnoća da neko drugi zna vaš Xpub. Varijacije Xpub-a uključuju Ipub i Zpub, svi rade isti posao.

Šta je to mobilni novčanik?

Mobilni novčanik je onaj koji radi na vašem mobilnom telefonu. Omogućuju brz pristup vašem bitcoin-u, ali nose rizik da ćete izgubiti svoj bitcoin ako izgubite ili slomite vaš telefon. Ovo ne bi trebalo da predstavlja problem pod uslovom da imate bezbedno spremljene seed reči kako biste mogli da vratite novčanik na drugi uređaj. Nikad ne koristite novčanik koji vam ne pruža opciju da sačuvate svoj private key (backup reči).

Šta je to desktop novčanik?

Desktop novčanik je onaj novčanik koji se pokreće na računaru. Desktop novčanici uglavnom imaju više funkcionalnosti od mobilnih, ali mogu biti i složeniji. Budući da su računari uređaji povezani na Internet i koji su podložni zlonamernim softverima, budite oprezni sa softverima koje instalirate, ne čuvajte velike količine Bitcoina na novčanicima koji su povezani sa internetom.

Šta je to hardware novčanik?

Hardverski, eng. hardware, novčanik (HWW) je uređaj posvećen stvaranju i čuvanju vaših privatnih ključeva. Većina HWW-a se smatra sigurnijim od hardvera opšte namene, poput računara ili mobilnih telefona. To je zato što je površina napada mnogo manja za uređaj napravljen za jedan određeni zadatak. HWW je još sigurniji kada je air-gapped, što znači da uređaj nikada nije priključen na računar. Kada je air-gapped, kod slanja transakcija koriste se QR kodovi ili prenosna datoteka na SD kartici.

Šta je to multi-sig novčanik?

Multi-signature novčanik je novčanik kojem je potrebno više od jednog privatnog ključa za potpisivanje transakcije. Ovo može biti bilo šta, 2 od moguća 3 ključa zbog potpisa ili 15 od 20, a to je na korisniku kada kreira novčanik. Multi-sig je sigurniji od single-siga, ali je mnogo komplikovaniji kada je reč o kreiranju, pravljenju rezervnih kopija i transakcijama. Novi korisnici bi trebali biti pažljivi sa ovim.

Šta je to watch only novčanik?

Watch only novčanik je kreiran pomoću vašeg proširenog javnog ključa (Xpub) koji vam omogućava da pratite stanje novčanika. Watch only novčanici ne sadrže privatne ključeve i sa njih se ne mogu trošiti Bitcoin-i. Budite pažljivi sa kime delite svoje Xpub, svako ko ima pristup ovome može pratiti vaše bitcoin stanje.

Šta je to custodial novčanik?

Custodial novčanik je novčanik u kome vi ne kontrolišete privatne ključeve. Custodial novčanici su često u stanju da prikriju neku složenost bitcoin novčanika, ali to dolazi sa rizikom da ne kontrolišete svoj bitcoin. Custodial novčanicima uglavnom upravljaju menjačnice i korisnici ne bi trebalo da drže velike količine bitcoin-a u njima.

Šta je to non custodial novčanik?

Non custodial novčanik je novčanik u kome imate kontrolu nad svojim privatnim ključevima. To je način na koji je bitcoin dizajniran za upotrebu i uvek treba da se pobrinite da novčanik koji koristite bude non custodial. Brzi način da saznate - da li ste morali da zapišete svoje seed reči kada ste otvorili novčanik? Ako je odgovor da, onda imate novčanik koji je non custodial.

Kako da znam koje naknade da koristim?

Ovo u potpunosti zavisi od toga koliko brzo treba da vaša transakcija bude obrađena i koliko je mreža zauzeta u trenutku kada želite da pošaljete bitcoin. Većina novčanika će vam dati procenu na osnovu ovih parametara i omogućiti vam da se prilagodite prema vašoj potrebi.

Šta je to QR kod?

QR kod je vizuelni prikaz podataka. Najčešće se koriste u Bitcoin-u za pretvaranje dugačkih i teško čitljivih adresa u oblik bar-koda koji može da se skenira pomoću novčanika pošiljalaca. Ovo uklanja potrebu za unošenjem adrese koja bi mogla dovesti do grešaka i slanja bitcoin-a na pogrešnu adresu.

Šta je to block explorer?

Istraživač blokova, eng. block explorer, je website ili aplikacija koja vam omogućava da pronađete detalje bilo kog bloka na blockchain-u. Možete pronaći podatke kao što su broj transakcija u bloku, adresa pošiljaoca, adresa primaoca, plaćene naknade, poslati iznos, visina bloka i vreme bloka.

Čvorovi - Nodes Q+A

Jednostavni odgovori na uobičajena pitanja o Bitcoin čvorovima

Ovde možete saznati više o različitim vrstama čvorova

Šta je to čvor?

Čvor, eng. node, je računar koji pokreće Bitcoin softver. Vaš čvor je vaša verzija Bitcoin blockchain-a i skupa pravila. Zamislite to kao sopstveni ulaz u ekosistem Bitcoin-a. Emituje transakcije, potvrđuje da su bitcoin-i koje primate legitimni i održava vašu privatnost, omogućavajući vam da učestvujete bez oslanjanja na bilo koga drugog.

Kako pokrenuti čvor?

Vaš čvor = vaša pravila. Kada povežete vaš novčanik sa vašim čvorom, ne verujete nikome drugom da će verifikovati vaše transakcije. Čvor vas štiti od loših aktera i takođe održava mrežu decentralizovanom. Ako nemate svoj, vi verujete u tuđi čvor, koji vam govori koliko imate bitcoin-a, i da biste slali/primali svoje transakcije.

Šta treba razmotriti pre pokretanja čvora?

Čvorovi su dizajnirani da rade 24/7, tako da će u zavisnosti od korištenog hardvera biti i neki troškovi napajanja. Većina čvorova radi na računarima sa jednom pločom male snage kao što je Raspberry Pi, tako da su troškovi rada zanemarljivi. Takođe bi trebalo da imate konstantnu internet vezu, jer će čvor koristiti oko 20 GB mesečno. Obavezno kupite ili napravite čvor koji dovršava početni blok ispočetka, inače verujete nečijim tudjim blockchain podacima.

Koje vrste čvorova postoje?

Moguće je pokrenuti čvor na računaru koji trenutno posedujete, jednostavnim preuzimanjem Bitcoin Core softvera. Najčešći čvorovi ‘plug + play’ su MyNode ili Nodl. Oni dolaze sa svime što je potrebno za početak. Mnogi korisnici se odluče da kupe sopstveni hardver i sami instaliraju Bitcoin softver. Uobičajeni izbor softvera su Umbrel, MyNode, Ronin Dojo ili Raspiblitz. Kliknite ovde da biste videli čvorove koje ja preporučujem.

Šta još čvor može da uradi?

Ovo veoma zavisi od konfiguracije koju imate. Neke uobičajene „dodatne funkcije“ uključuju lightning node, electrum server, block explorer, mempool viewer, whirlpool implementation i infrastrukturu plaćanja, poput BTC Pay Server-a.

Šta je to inicijalno preuzimanje blokova?

Inicijalno preuzimanje blokova, eng. initial block download (IBD), odvija se kada prvi put pokrenete čvor. Vaš softver preuzima čitav Bitcoin blockchain i proverava celokupnu istoriju transakcija(410gb). Kada se sinhronizuje, ovo omogućava vašem čvoru da potvrdi da su bitcoin-i koje primate legitimni i odbijaju svakoga ko pokušava da prevari sistem. Vreme sinhronizacije će se razlikovati u zavisnosti od brzine hardvera i interneta, ali u proseku postupak traje oko 4-7 dana.

Šta je to pruned čvor?

Pruning čvor je opcija za vaš čvor da odbaci sve stare podatke koji mu nisu potrebni, nakon što u potpunosti potvrdi čitav blockchain. To može biti korisno ako imate ograničenja za skladištenje, ali to znači da kada je omogućen, vaš čvor ne podržava mrežu, i ne dopušta novim čvorovima koji dolaze na mrežu da preuzimaju informacije iz vašeg blockchain-a.

Šta je to lightning node?

Lightning node je vaš ulaz u lightning network, što je eksperimentalno rešenje za skaliranje izgrađeno na vrhu Bitcoin-a. Obično se pokreće na istom uređaju kao i vaš Bitcoin čvor, i slično kao i vaš Bitcoin čvor koristi se za interakciju sa drugim ljudima na toj mreži slanjem i primanjem uplata.

Mogu li ja da koristim tuđi čvor?

Da, možete se povezati sa tuđim čvorom. Ovo je podrazumevano za veliki broj novčanika, ali treba da budete oprezni iz gore navedenih razloga. Ako imate prijatelja kome verujete, a koji ima pokrenut čvor, ovo bi bila bolja alternativa od davanja vašeg poverenja nekoj nezavisnoj kompaniji. Krajnji način da učestvujete u Bitcoin mreži je pokretanje sopstvenog čvora.

Lightning Q+A

Jednostavni odgovori na uobičajena pitanja o Lightning Network-u

Za detaljniji pregled Lightning Network-a, pogledajte ovde

Šta je to Lightning Network?

Lightning Network je rešenje za skaliranje izgrađeno na vrhu Bitcoin protokola. Omogućava manja, skoro trenutna plaćanja između korisnika po vrlo niskim troškovima. Sprečava potrebu da se svaka izvršena transakcija odvija na „osnovnom sloju“ Bitcoin-a, istovremeno osiguravajući da vrednost koja se šalje poštuje osnovna pravila i vrednosti Bitcoin mreže. Ne možete obavljati transakcije na Lightning-u bez posedovanja bitcoin-a.

Zašto nam je potreban Lightning?

Trenutno nam zaista NE treba Lightning network, jer su normalne bitcoin transakcije (obično se nazivaju „on chain transakcijama“) relativno jeftine, čak i ako želite brzo vreme potvrde. Lightning zaista počinje da blista kada se naknade za ‘on chain’ povećavaju kako se baza korisnika Bitcoin povećava, a subvencija blokova smanjuje. Lightning takođe odlično obećava u manjim, češćim slučajevima plaćanja za stvari poput otključavanja online sadržaja.

Kako Lightning Network radi?

Ana otvara kanal za plaćanje sa Markom pravljenjem on chain „finansijske transakcije“. Veličina ove finansijske transakcije diktira koliku vrednost Ana može da prenese koristeći Lightning. Jednom kada se finansijska transakcija potvrdi na osnovnom sloju, Ana može slobodno da trguje s Markom preko Lightning-a onoliko puta koliko želi, dok jedan ili oboje ne odluče da žele da zatvore kanal. Svaka Lightning transakcija ažurira trenutno stanje kanala tako da jedna strana ne može da prevari drugu za bilo kakva sredstava. Kada se kanal zatvori, najnovije „stanje kanala“ emituje se na Bitcoin mrežu i obe strane će dobiti odgovarajuće stanje natrag u svoj novčanik.

Ali šta ako Ana želi da plati nekome drugom?

Ovde Lightning zaista blista. Kanali za plaćanje mogu biti povezani zajedno da bi se pronašao put do primaoca. Ana ne treba da ima otvoren kanal sa Davidom da bi mu poslala nekoliko sats-ova, mreža će pronaći optimalan put za usmeravanje plaćanja preko drugih kanala. Moglo bi izgledati otprilike ovako Ana> Marko> Petar> David. Tokom čitave rute uplata je kriptografski osigurana tako da bilo koji posrednik ne može ukrasti bilo koje sredstvo koje im ne pripada.

Ko poseduje i kontroliše Lightning Network?

Kao i Bitcoin, Lightning Network je u potpunosti otvorenog koda i nije u vlasništvu nijednog entiteta. Svako može pokrenuti čvor i učestvovati u mreži sa potpunom dozvolom. Postoji više popularnih primena Lightning -a koje uključuju LND, C Lightning i Eclair. Sve ove implementacije su gotovo 100% interoperabilne.

Ima li rudara na Lightning Network-u?

Ne, Lightning Network je izgrađen na vrhu osnovnog sloja Bitcoin-a i zadržava sve iste sigurnosne funkcije. Minimalne naknade koje plaćate na Lightning-u idu učesnicima mreže koji čine deo rute kojom ide vaša uplata, tako da to može biti bukvalno svako ko pokreće Lightning čvor.

Da li Lightning ima svoj blockchain?

Ne, Lightning je mreža kanala za plaćanja u kojoj su svi međusobno povezani. Sve transakcije otvaranja i zatvaranja Lightning kanala odvijaju se na osnovnom Bitcoin protokolu. Lightning nasleđuje sigurnost Bitcoin blockchain-a.

Koje su loše strane Lightning-a?

Za nekoga ko često koristi Lightning Network sa više kanala, upravljanje likvidnošću može postati zamorno. Mreža je relativno mlada i neka plaćanja ponekad mogu propasti, ali kako se razvoj nastavlja ovi slučajevi postaju daleko ređi. Zbog strukture mreže, nije toliko pogodna za veća plaćanja zbog ograničenja likvidnosti svakog kanala. To bi se moglo promeniti kako mreža raste, a ljudi dobijaju poverenje u njenu pouzdanost.

Da li mi treba čvor da bih koristio Lightning?

Slično kao i Bitcoin, nije vam potreban čvor za interakciju sa Lightning mrežom, ali je preporučljivo. Zapamtite, ako ne pokrećete svoj čvor, oslanjate se na tuđi. Dobra vest je da većina Bitcoin čvorova danas dolazi sa ugrađenim Lightning čvorom, tako da ne biste trebali imati previše dodatnog posla da biste se postavili na Lightning.

Šta je to dolazna likvidnost?

Dolazna likvidnost, eng. inbound liquidity, je mera koliko bitcoin-a možete dobiti preko Lightning Network-a. Ako jednostavno otvorite kanal prema nekom drugom, u početku možete samo da šaljete bitcoin-e. To je zato što su sva sredstva na vašoj strani kanala. Ako otvorite kanal za 100k sats-ova, a zatim potrošite 25k, vaša dolazna likvidnost bi bila 25k sats-ova. Bolji način za postizanje dolazne likvidnosti je ako vam neko otvori kanal ka vama, tako da bi sav bilans bio na njihovoj strani kanala.

Šta je to odlazna likvidnost?

Odlazna likvidnost, eng. outbound liquidity, je mera koliko bitcoin-a možete poslati preko Lightning Network-a. Ako otvorite kanal za 100k sats-ova i potrošite 75k, tada vaša odlazna likvidnost iznosi 25k sats-ova. Dobijanje odlazne likvidnosti je jednostavno poput primanja sats-ova na postojećim kanalima ili otvaranja novog kanala sa još sats-ova. Zapamtite, nikada ne možete potrošiti više od ukupne veličine vašeg najvećeg kanala. Mada, ovo će se promeniti kada se uvedu Multi Path Payments.

Gde da počnem?

Pogledajte našu preporučenu stranicu za čvorove koje treba pokrenuti, a zatim odlučite da li želite mobilni ili desktop Lightning novčanik. Naš lični favorit je Zap koji nudi i mobilne i desktop, u kombinaciji sa vrlo dobrim korisničkim interfejsom. Pogledajte Lightning Network guide za detaljniji pogled na Lightning.

Coinjoin Q+A

Jednostavni odgovori na uobičajena Coinjoin pitanja

Šta je to Coinjoin?

Coinjoin (ponekad se naziva i mešanje) je on chain rešenje za privatnost za Bitcoin, koje je prvi put 2013. predložio Gregory Maxwell. Dizajniran je da razbije „heuristiku zajedničkog vlasništva“, koja pretpostavlja da svi unosi u transakciju pripadaju istom entitetu. Bitcoin adrese nisu direktno povezane sa stvarnim identitetima, ali svako ko ima dovoljno vremena i resursa (poput firmi za analizu lanca), mogu početi da prave ove veze gledajući javnu knjigu Bitcoin-a. Coinjoin pomaže da se ovo spreči.

Zašto nam je potreban Coinjoin?

Bitcoin blockchain je potpuno javan, pa ako imate bitcoin koji je vezan za vaš lični identitet (recimo sa KYC menjačnice), može vas na lancu pratiti bilo ko raspolaže sa pravim resursima, a koji nadgleda blockchain. Ovaj problem se pogoršava ako nehotice kombinujete bitcoin-e iz različitih izvora prilikom obavljanja transakcija. Može vam izgledati kao da ovo nije problem i da nemate šta da krijete, ali ako ne biste dozvolili da nepoznati čovek pogleda vaš izvod iz banke, pa zašto onda to dozvoliti sa Bitcoin-om?

Kako CoinJoin funkcioniše?

Postoje različite vrste implementacija Coinjoin-a, svaka sa svojim vlastitim mišljenjem oko iste osnovne ideje. Dva ili više korisnika udružuju svoje UTXO-ove u zajedničku transakciju koja se formira na jedinstven način. Način na koji je transakcija konstruisana otežava nadzornim firmama da tačno znaju čija izlazna transakcija pripada kom ulaznom vlasniku. U najboljem slučaju, svako ko posmatra transakciju može da smisli niz mogućih scenarija ko poseduje koji deo bitcoin-a, ali nikada ne može biti 100% siguran.

Postoje li različiti tipovi Coinjoin-a?

Postoje tri popularne primene Coinjoin-a, 1) Joinmarket koji deluje na strukturi tvorca/primaoca, gde tvorac nudi svoje bitcoin-e (uz naknadu) da bi postao deo transakcije primaoca. 2) Wasabi novčanik koji koristi aplikaciju za desktop računare i nudi velike coinjoin-ove. 3) Samourai Whirlpool nudi male, ali efikasne Coinjoin-ove zajedno sa mobilnim interfejsom koji je lak za upotrebu. To je jedini protokol koji koristim.

Da li je mixer isto što i Coinjoin?

Ne, mixer se obično smatra centralizovanom uslugom kojoj vi šaljete bitcoin-e, a on ih zatim meša i vraća vam tuđi bitcoin. Ove usluge treba izbegavati jer svoje potpuno poverenje stavite u entitet za mešanje da vam u stvari pošalje neki bitcoin nazad nakon što ga vi pošaljete. Uvek biste trebali da imate kontrolu nad svojim privatnim ključevima!

Da li moram da platim za Coinjoin?

Da, sve gore navedene usluge Coinjoin naplaćuju naknade. Svaka od njih ima malo drugačiju strukturu naknada, pa biste uvek trebali sami da istražite pre nego što počnete da koristite bilo koju od njih.

Mogu li izgubiti svoj bitcoin učestvujući u Coinjoin-u?

Kada koristite uslugu Coinjoin poput onih gore navedenih, oni su strukturirani na takav način da uvek imate kontrolu nad svojim privatnim ključevima. Trenutno nismo upoznati sa slučajem da su korisnici izgubili bitcoin kao rezultat greške u protokolu ili zbog bilo kog lošeg aktera koji stoji iza jednog od njih.

Sa kojim problemima mogu da se suočim kada koristim Coinjoin?

Bilo je nekoliko slučajeva kada je menjačnica označila korisnike koji su praćeni do, ili iz usluge Coinjoin. To je rezultiralo time da su neki morali da pruže KYC informacije, a drugima je njihov nalog stavljen na crnu listu, što znači da nisu mogli da koriste menjačnicu. Radi transparentnosti moramo navesti da su svi ovi korisnici povezani sa implementacijom Wasabi novčanika. Nisu zabeleženi problemi sa označenim korisnicima Joinmarket ili Samourai Whirlpool-a. Često zanemareni aspekt Coinjoin-a je ono šta radite nakon što se coinjoin dogodi. Vaše navike trošenja nakon udruživanja, ako se ne urade pravilno mogu u potpunosti poništiti svu stečenu privatnost. Potrošnja nakon mešanja može biti složena tema, ali alati kao što su Stonewall i Stowaway, koje primenjuje Samourai novčanik, čine ovaj postupak mnogo lakšim.

Šta je to Payjoin?

Ponekad nazvan Pay-to-end-point (P2EP), Payjoin je posebna vrsta Coinjoin-a između dve strane kod kojih jedna zapravo plaća drugoj. Zbog strukture transakcije nemoguće je tačno odrediti iznos kojim se transakcija obavlja. Još jedna sjajna stvar u vezi sa Payjoin-om je da Payjoin za firme za nadzor blockchain-a izgleda baš kao redovna Bitcoin transakcija. Ako se široko usvoji, Payjoin će zauvek uništiti zajedničku heuristiku vlasništva nad ulazima.

Šta je to analiza chain-a?

Analiza chain-a je praksa entiteta koji nadgleda blockchain kako bi tražio klastere i obrasce u transakcijama, kako bi pokušao da prati ljude ili da razume njihove navike trošenja. Firme za analizu chain-a to rade pod maskom da pokušavaju da zaustave kriminalce ili terorizam. Iako se slažemo sa sentimentom borbe protiv ilegalnih aktivnosti koje bi mogle naneti štetu drugima, ne slažemo se sa drag net alatima za nadzor koje koriste i koji narušavaju privatnost uobičajenog korisnika bitcoin-a.

Gde mogu da saznam više o Coinjoin-u?

Coinjoin je vrlo složena tema sa puno nijansi, tako da je marljivo istraživanje apsolutno neophodno. Slušajte ovaj podcast Stephan Livera o „zašto“ Coinjoin-a. Ovaj repository od @6102Bitcoin je sjajan niz od tri glavne Coinjoin implementacije.

Bitcoin Mitovi

Otklanjanje najčešćih zabluda o Bitcoin-u.

Bitcoin nema suštinsku vrednost

Parker Lewis najbolje sumira ovaj odgovor u svom članku. „Kao i sav novac, i Bitcoin je podržan kredibilitetom svojih monetarnih svojstava“. Bitcoin je vredan jer je pouzdano oskudan, svako može tačno da proveri koliko je bitcoin-a u opticaju u bilo kom trenutku. Vredan je jer je osiguran sredstvima vrednim milionima dolara širom sveta putem svojih distribuiranih rudarskih i konsenzusnih mehanizama. Vredan je jer je prvi i jedini oblik novca u kojem može učestvovati svako ko ima internet vezu. Ne diskriminiše i ne cenzuriše.

Bitcoin je anoniman

To nije tačno, Bitcoin je ‘pseudonim’. To znači da na mrežnom nivou novčanik ili adresa nisu direktno povezani sa stvarnim identitetom. To znači da firme za nadzor chain-a mogu da prate i povezuju ‘Bitcoin identitete’, a da ne znaju ko su pojedinci koji stoje iza njih. Ali, ako bitcoin kupujete preko entiteta koji zahteva lične podatke, te kompanije mogu povezati stvarnu osobu i bitcoin adresu. Uvek imajte na umu kome dajete ove informacije.

Bitcoin kod se može lako promeniti

Ovo je jednostavno netačno. Bitcoin je postao poznat (i ponekad kritikovan) zbog vremena koje je potrebno da se primene promene u njegovoj bazi kodova. To je zato što sve veće promene Bitcoin-ovog koda moraju da prođu kroz rigorozni postupak stručne provere pre primene. Ako bi ova promena koda rezultirala nedostatkom povratne kompatibilnosti (što znači da stariji softver možda nije kompatibilan), tada proces postaje još sporiji i rigorozniji.

Bitcoin se može kopirati

Na mrežnom nivou vi možete, a mnogo ljudi i jeste. Postoji bukvalno stotine kopija Bitcoin-a, od kojih svaka obično ima malo podešavanja svog koda da bi ga ‘poboljšala’. Gotovo uvek ova ‘poboljšanja‘ dolaze sa ogromnim kompromisima koji im sprečavaju da steknu bilo kakvu privlačnost na ogromnim mrežnim efektima Bitcoin-a. Ove kopije obično imaju nepravedno lansiranje koje se generalno obavljaja radi obogaćivanja njihovih osnivača. Njihov dizajn obično otežava prosečnom korisniku pokretanje čvora. To znači da projekat postaje veoma centralizovan i da nekoliko strana ima veliki uticaj nad bilo kakvim promenama.

Nema dovoljno Bitcoin-a za sve na zemlji

Postojaće samo 21 milion bitcoin-a. Svaki bitcoin sadrži 100 miliona satoshis-a. Što znači da će biti dostupno ukupno 2,1 kvadriliona satoshis-a (to je 2,100,000,000,000,000) na raspolaganju za cirkulaciju oko Bitcoin mreže. Na populaciju sveta od 8 biliona (zaokruženo) to iznosi 262,500 sats-ova za svaku osobu na planeti. Prilično dosta u opticaju, zar ne?

Bitcoin je novac za kriminalce

Bitcoin je novac, i kao i svaki drugi novac mogu ga koristiti i kriminalci. U 2017. godini procenjeno je da celokupno tržište trgovine drogom vredno 500,000,000,000 (500 biliona) dolara. Po trenutnim cenama, to bi umalo moglo kupiti celokupnu Bitcoin mrežu! Verovatno je pošteno reći da se ogromna većina nelegalnih aktivnosti finansira iz normalnih „tradicionalnih“ valuta. Takođe bi se moglo tvrditi da ga javna priroda Bitcoin-ovog blockchain-a može zapravo učiniti manje poželjnim za kriminalce.

Naknade će učiniti Bitcoin neupotrebljivim u budućnosti

Bitcoin mreža ima vrlo efikasno tržište naknada. Bilo je nekih kratkotrajnih skokova kada je obim transakcija eksponencijalno rastao što je rezultiralo višim naknadama. Prosečna naknada za Bitcoin transakciju za poslednjih 12 meseci iznosi $4.77. Kako cena bitcoin-a i broj koristinka raste, tako bitcoin transakcije na mreži (on-chain) postaju vrednije i skuplje u dollar vrednosti, kada one neizbežno porastu, imamo Lightning koji je rešenje za skaliranje. Više o Lightning-u možete pročitati ovde.

Rudari kontrolišu Bitcoin

Iako je istina da rudari igraju ključnu ulogu u radu Bitcoin-a, reći da oni kontrolišu mrežu, nije. Rudari su finansijski podstaknuti da deluju u dobroj nameri, a mreža zahteva samo nešto više od 50% rudara koji su iskreni da bi mreža i dalje funkcionisala. U krajnje malo verovatnom slučaju da većina "podlih" rudara dobije kontrolu nad mrežom, koštaće ih preko 3.6M dolara na sat da bi je održavali. Ako bi uspeli, ne samo da bi to bilo izuzetno skupo, već bi i cena bitcoin-a verovatno naglo pala, čineći njihove napore još manje plodonosnim.

Rudari će prestati sa kopanjem kada padne subvencija za blokove

Očigledno niko ne može biti siguran u ovo, jer je to buduća pojava. Ali zajedničko očekivanje je da će, kako opada subvencija za blokove, naknade će rasti, a rudari će i dalje dobijati kompenzaciju za svoje transakcije obrade posla i obezbeđivanje mreže. Do tog trenutka, verovatnoća postojanja opšteprihvaćenog rešenja za skaliranje, kao što je Lightning, biće daleko veća. Čak i ako bi neki rudari prestali da kopaju, zahvaljujući mrežnom pravilu ‘difficulty adjustment‘, i dalje bi funkcionisalo sasvim u redu i blokovi bi se i dalje proizvodili u proseku svakih 10 minuta. Da difficulty adjustment sjajno funkcionise i kad su veliki procenti u pitanju (27 %) smo videli u Junu 2021 godine kad su Kineski majneri morali ugasiti masine zbog bana bitcoin mininga u kini.

Rudarenje je loše za životnu sredinu

Tačno je da Bitcoin-ov dokaz o radu, eng. proof of work, rudarskog procesa troši ogromne količine energije, ali većina toga sada dolazi iz obnovljivih izvora. Bitcoin takođe podstiče razvoj korišćenja energije iz izvora koji bi inače bili bačeni, poput gorivog prirodnog gasa. Bitcoin troši energiju samo za apetit tržišta. Ako se više ljudi odluči da vrednuje i koristi Bitcoin-e, tada će se više energije posvetiti njegovom obezbeđivanju. Suprotno je takodje tačno. Više o tome dali je bitcoin rudarenje štetno možete pročitati ovdje.

Bitcoin je previše nestabilan

Svakako nije tajna da Bitcoin ima volatilno kretanje cene. To je relativno novo finansijsko sredstvo koje tržište još uvek pokušava da razume. Zbog toga je uvek dobar savet da ne pokušavate da trgujete marketom radi zarade. Usvajanjem strategije obavljanja manjih ali češćih kupovina, vi efektivno ignorišete volatilnost cena Bitcoin-a i dobijate cenu ‘prosečnog tržišta‘. Nefinansijski savet.

Bitcoin je previše spor

Ako bi Starbucks sutra prihvatio bitcoin-e, onda da, čekanje od 10 minuta na potvrdu za plaćanje vašeg lattea možda nije idealna situacija. Za skoro trenutne uplate poput te imamo Lightning. Iako korisničko iskustvo nije toliko uglađeno kao CashApp ili Venmo, ono sigurno stiže. Recimo da želite da prebacite 50,000 USD na drugi kraj sveta, u poređenju sa trenutno dostupnim opcijama, 10 minuta ne deluje tako sporo?

Bitcoin je previše težak za upotrebu

Ovo je krajnje subjektivno gledište i zavisi od svakog pojedinca. Ali da, trenutno se slažem da je lakše dodirnuti bankovnu karticu na terminalu nego izvaditi telefon, skenirati QR kod i sačekati potvrdu. Mislimo da je dodatnih nekoliko koraka za izvršavanje Bitcoin transakcije mala cena koju treba platiti za beneficije koje mreža nudi. Postoje hiljade developera širom sveta koji rade danonoćno kako bi olakšali korisničko iskustvo. Kao i u svim tehnologijama, potrebno je vreme za razvoj i usavršavanje.

Hello

@ 33baa074:3bb3a297

Residual chlorinerefers to the residual disinfectant chlorine in tap water. An appropriate amount of residual chlorine can prevent the growth of microorganisms and ensure the safety of water quality. However, when the residual chlorine content in water is too high, it will cause many harms to human health, mainly including the following aspects:

Destruction of nutrients When the residual chlorine content in tap water exceeds the standard, it will destroy the minerals, vitamins and other nutrients, such as vitamin C and vitamin E, when used to wash fruits and vegetables. In the long run, it may cause the human body to absorb these nutrients and lack these essential nutrients. Cause chronic poisoning When tap water containing residual chlorine is used for a long time, the residual chlorine reacts with organic acids and may produce harmful substances such as chloroform and organic lead compounds, which are potential carcinogens. Long-term accumulation may cause chronic poisoning of body organs and pose a threat to human health.

Affect the respiratory system Residual chlorine can cause harm to the human respiratory system, and symptoms such as difficulty breathing and itchy throat may occur. Severe cases may induce rhinitis, bronchitis and even emphysema. In addition, water vapor containing residual chlorine may also cause adverse reactions such as coughing and wheezing after being inhaled.

Damage to the skin Excessive residual chlorine content in water may irritate the skin, easily cause skin dryness, aging, acne and other problems, and may also cause allergic symptoms such as dermatitis and eczema. Prolonged contact with such water may also cause the skin layer to fall off, which is extremely harmful to skin health. Bathing with water containing residual chlorine can also cause hair to become dry, broken, and split.

Other health problems Impact on special groups Pregnant women: Long-term drinking of tap water containing residual chlorine will reduce resistance, affect the growth of the fetal heart and lungs, and may also cause neonatal arrhythmia and lung dysfunction. Children: Long-term drinking of chlorine water will not only hurt the stomach, but also affect nutrient absorption. Moreover, the strong oxidizing hypochlorous acid produced by the reaction of chlorine and water will damage brain cells and affect their development. In addition, chlorine can easily be inhaled into the lungs through the respiratory tract, damaging respiratory cells, and easily leading to asthma and emphysema. Bathing children with water containing residual chlorine will cause their hair to become dry, broken, split, their skin to bleach, their skin to fall off, and they will have allergies. Elderly people: Long-term consumption of chlorinated water is prone to heart disease, coronary atherosclerosis, hypertension and other diseases, and it is also easy to damage the liver and kidneys, increasing the probability of cancer. Gastrointestinal discomfort Long-term drinking of water with excessive residual chlorine content may also cause gastrointestinal discomfort, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, diarrhea and other symptoms. In severe cases, it may cause gastrointestinal ulcers, bleeding and other diseases.

In order to reduce the harm of residual chlorine in tap water to the human body, it is recommended to avoid directly using tap water containing residual chlorine as much as possible, boil the water before drinking, and use filtering and purification equipment to reduce the residual chlorine concentration in the water if conditions permit, while maintaining a healthy lifestyle and enhancing the body's immunity.

@ 4898fe02:4ae46cb0

I had a bit of extra time this week to attend a call organized by @jeffg (npub1zuuajd7u3sx8xu92yav9jwxpr839cs0kc3q6t56vd5u9q033xmhsk6c2uc) regarding a privacy focused project he's been working on for the last year-or-so. Shout-out to @niftynei (npub1e0z776cpe0gllgktjk54fuzv8pdfxmq6smsmh8xd7t8s7n474n9smk0txy) for encouraging me to do so, pushing my somewhat out of my comfort zone in reporting on technical updates.

Also, if you know of or are involved in similar dev calls and would like a report done, please reach out and feel free to share calendar updates.

--@Car would be awesome to see this talked about on SNL later today, as it seems to be a very important/overlooked project for the future of privacy, nostr and bitcoin broadly.

Anyway, here's the unschooled report--my technical explanations may sometimes be scant, but I've done my best to provide more qualified sources where necessary.

Bringing Secure, Confidential Group Chats to Nostr - A Monthly MLS on Nostr Dev Call

Posted originally to Stacker News ~nostr territory

Developers met Tuesday, 3 Jun at 1600UTC at what would be the first of a monthly series of community calls to discuss updates and respond to questions about the implementation of the MLS (Messaging Layer Security) standard over nostr.

@jb55 (npub1klkk3vrzme455yh9rl2jshq7rc8dpegj3ndf82c3ks2sk40dxt7qulx3vt)) @hodlbod (npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn), Max Hillebrand (npub1klkk3vrzme455yh9rl2jshq7rc8dpegj3ndf82c3ks2sk40dxt7qulx3vt) and @jeffg (npub1zuuajd7u3sx8xu92yav9jwxpr839cs0kc3q6t56vd5u9q033xmhsk6c2uc) among others attended and contributed to a discussion about the latter's research and development on implementing a new messaging standard on nostr using MLS.

The call highlighted some of the features of MLS, a relatively new (as of 2023) secure and confidential messaging and group-chat protocol standard. It is modeled to achieve a similar level of security as Signal, prioritizing forward-secrecy and post-compromise security, multi-device compatibility, as well as the ability to scale for large groups.

For those not familiar,

Forward secrecy means that encrypted content in the past remains encrypted even if key material is leaked.\ Post compromise security means that leaking key material doesn't allow an attacker to continue to read messages indefinitely into the future. ^1

Developers working on the project indicated that it will be an improvement on current instant-messaging standards commonly used by nostr clients, such as nip17, for a relatively simple implementation.

Those in attendance overall showed enthusiasm to push this project forward and developers interested are being encouraged to fork the the Nostr-MLS Rust Library to begin working it into their stack. Notably, @jeffg and Hillebrand are keen to see new contributors work on the project.

Participants had the opportunity to ask technical questions about how the library handles some features as well as how to begin contributing.

Discussion also centered around issues with MLS (such as potential key-package rotation DOS attack vectors and de-syncing) as well as some key concepts for the new messaging standard such as how key-packages are signed by a users nsec and published to key-package inbox relays before being rotated.

Proofs of Concept

White Noise and 0xchat both have implemented MLS on nostr. These are the first to prove that the concept of secure-confidential group messaging is possible over the distributed nostr-relay protocol.

Learn More

@jeffg has kept detailed project updates on his nostr account. Notably, the post MLS Over Nostr explains the vision he has for the project and his presentation The Past and Future of Messaging on Nostr (youtube) gives a high-level overview of messaging on nostr and the problems he is working to solve.

Follow @jeffg (npub1zuuajd7u3sx8xu92yav9jwxpr839cs0kc3q6t56vd5u9q033xmhsk6c2uc) on your favourite nostr clinent for call updates.

加密洞见

解决比特币抗审查交易中继的女巫攻击，社交方案好于技术方案？

Peter Todd 发帖指出，针对比特币抗审查交易中继的攻击行为正在发生——一个名为 garbageman 的节点正在对 Libre Relay 节点采取女巫攻击。这些攻击节点假装支持抗审查交易中继（NODE_LIBRE_RELAY），但实际在暗中丢弃某些交易，目的是阻止特定交易被打包进入区块。作者还介绍了现有防御方法的难度和复杂性，并提出新思路——与其用技术方案解决，不用通过社交解决。他鼓励人们手动与跟他们有个人关系的节点进行连接，原因很简单，人与人的关系可以比任何代码都更有力地评估诚实。

打造统一身份查询标准，提升闪电网络付款体验

比特币开发者 Aviv Bar-el 发表了一项新提案「知名比特币身份端点」（Well-Known Bitcoin Identity Endpoint），旨在通过 HTTPS 标准接口，简化钱包查询用户比特币地址和身份信息的流程，提升链上支付——尤其是闪电网络付款的用户体验和安全性。

通过「承诺/揭示」机制，帮助加强比特币抵御量子计算威胁

Tadge Dryja 提出一种抵御量子计算攻击的比特币软分叉方案。它是「承诺/揭示」（commit / reveal）Fawkescoin 机制的变体，大部分内容与 Tim Ruffing 几年前的方案类似，但也有以下重要区别：

• 该方案不使用加密，而是用更小的基于哈希的承诺，并且描述了如何通过软分叉激活此机制。
• 这个方案仅适用于公钥（或脚本）在链上未公开的输出，例如 pubkey hash 或 script hash 类型；也适用于 Taproot，但必须通过脚本路径花费，因为 Taproot 的 key-path 花费在量子攻击下将不再安全。
• 至于那些公钥已经在链上暴露的输出该如何处理，是另一个独立问题（本方案与「销毁这些币」或「任其被盗」这两种做法都兼容）。

量子危机倒计时：比特币准备好了吗？

Chaincode 在近期发布的报告中，系统分析了「加密相关量子计算」（CRQC，Cryptographically relevant quantum computers）威胁的整体态势，评估了比特币在应对这一转变过程中面临的技术、经济与治理挑战，并表示必须要在早于 CRQC 出现的数年构建起相关共识。重要的结论有：

• 时间窗口：打破比特币椭圆曲线加密基础的 CRQC 可能首先出现在 2030 - 2035 年间。
• 脆弱资金范围：在所有流通的比特币中，约 20-50%（4-1000 万枚 BTC）可能易受 CRQC 攻击。其中远程攻击针对本质上易受攻击的脚本类型（P2PK、P2MS、P2TR）和具有先前暴露的公钥的地址（地址重用），使攻击者能够无限期地从区块链上已有的公共信息中获取私钥；短程攻击会影响所有比特币脚本类型，利用交易广播和确认之间（或之后不久）的漏洞窗口，当公钥暂时暴露时，要求攻击者在几分钟到几小时的时间范围内采取行动。

• 行动战略：建议采用双轨方法，包括：

  • 应急措施：在约 2 年内完成对 CRQC 的最低限度但可运作的防护；
  • 全面对策：在约 7 年内深入对问题的探索，并开发出功能完备的解决方案

  这种双轨策略平衡了眼前的安全需求与最佳抗量子解决方案的严格研究和开发，确保无论 CRQC 能力如何发展，比特币都能做出适当的响应。

利用 zkSNARKs 对比特币交易实施任意约束

对于给比特币交易执行约束，现有的解决方案在隐私或可编程性上都存在不足。本文的研究者利用 zkSNARKs 设计了一种新方案，可以对比特币交易执行任意约束，并保持一定程度的信息私密性。他们方法绕过了比特币脚本的非图灵完备性，允许执行无界约束（unbounded constraints），即重复某个运算的次数次数不受限制。论文全文。

第一个跨比特币和 Cardano 的桥上线

从比特币到 Cardano 的信任最小化 Ordinals 桥通过 Cardinal 协议实现。Cardinal 协议实是一种基于 BitVMX 的信任最小化互作性协议，在不破坏所有权或损害安全性的前提下，它让比特币上中的不可替代资产（如 Ordinals 和 Runes）同 Cardano 链实现了来回移动。

Cardinal 协议背后的技术核心之一是「委员会的验证机制 」（committee-based validation mechanism），遵循 1-out-of-n honest 安全模型。这意味着即使除了一个验证者之外的所有验证者都恶意作，系统仍然保持安全——在增强安全性的同时，还实现了一种更加去中心化和抗审查的方式来在链之间移动资产 。

Thunderbolt 协议：通过 UTXO 捆绑和 OP_CAT 扩展，重构比特币智能合约

Nubit 提出的 Thunderbolt 被认为是为比特币在过去十年中最具里程碑意义的技术升级之一，被视为「Lightning Network 2.0」。Thunderbolt 是一种基于比特币基础层的软分叉升级方法，不依赖二层网络或桥的妥协，而是通过对比特币主链协议层的修改，从根本上增强其可扩展性、交易性能和可编程性。具体而言，Thunderbolt：

• 在吞吐量方面，使用 UTXO 捆绑（UTXO Bundling）技术，实现了对传统比特币交易处理模型的重大优化。
• 在可编程性方面，重新引入并扩展了 OP_CAT 。
• 在资产协议集成方面，Thunderbolt 实施了 Goldinals 统一标准，提供了一个基于零知识证明和状态承诺的资产发行框架。
• 与传统的扩容方法（如侧链、Plasma、Rollup 或桥接包装代币）不同，Thunderbolt 采用原生主链扩容路径。通过 BitVisa 提供去中心化的身份和凭证系统，让交易压缩、智能合约、资产标准集成、链上交易匹配都可以直接在比特币主链上运行。

比特币 2025 大会回顾：政要汇聚、稳定币受关注、DeFi 缺席

今年在拉斯维加斯举行的比特币 2025 大会，汇聚了众多政治要员和企业巨头。美国副总统 JD Vance 对加密货币表明了全力支持，并讨论了比特币在美中竞争中作为战略资产的潜力，他还认为，稳定币不会威胁到美元的完整性，而会使美国的经济实力倍增。白宫加密货币沙皇 David Sacks 发表了会议中最重要的政策公告之一， 暗示根据特朗普建立战略比特币储备的行政命令，美国政府有「获得更多比特币的合法途径」。

此外，关于稳定币立法和加密市场改革受到了很多关注。控制着超过 60% 稳定币市场的 Ardoido 公司表示：「所有传统金融公司都将创建稳定币，提供给他们现有的客户」；而 Tether 表示，其目标市场是全球范围内被排除在银行业之外的人。

这篇总结也提到，与 2022 年和 2023 年的类似峰会不同，今年的大会是由比特币最大化者、Ordinals 创建者、矿业资本家和监管游说者主导，而不再由 DeFi 协议构建者、DAO 运营商或 Layer2 扩容倡导者主导，以太坊和 Solana 生态的开发者缺席。这或许表明：

• 该会议明显的政治基调，使其不适合开发者喜欢的以技术为中心的叙述。
• Web3 建设者和比特币阵营之间的意识形态和叙事分歧可能会越来越大。

Sui 攻击事件下的治理再思考：去中心化，程序合法性，和区块链的价值多元性

在受到生态最大的 DEX 项目 Cetus 黑客攻击之后，Sui 网络在协议层面执行了资产冻结和恢复——这是一种有效的技术回应，但同时引发了对抗审查和去中心化等核心区块链原则的批评和辩论。

文章的作者质疑了将去中心化视为唯一至高价值的立场，认为对于大多数有理性者而言，「生活在一个去中心化被认为是最高价值，但当有人侵犯他人财产时，允许强制武力的社会中」都要好于「生活在一个去中心化是唯一至高价值的社会中，因此在任何情况下都不允许强制武力」。

同时作者也指出，Sui 的验证者和网络行为采用的「家长式」治理方式令人失望；此外， Sui 使用委托权益证明（dPoS）系统，其中代币持有者将其代币委托给验证者，验证者代表他们行使相关的投票权，个人因此丧失了投票权。但区块链本来提供了有利于个人的、更加灵活的解决方案，比如 Cosmos 的治理框架就要优于 Sui——对于特定提案，验证人的决定并不会自动代表每个委托人的投票。

在关于去中心化的价值和治理方式之外，文章也提到另一种思考角度——「最重要的是建立与系统愿景相一致的程序合法性」。不同的项目追求不同的目标。就 Sui 而言，其核心目标是使各种资产能够被可靠地定义、并在链上无缝交互。因此，用其他区块链的范式或价值观来理解 Sui 的设计就是不合适的。在特殊情况下，Sui 优先考虑用户资产的返还和生态系统的稳定，而不是严格遵守抗审查——这一决定与其自身的长期愿景更加一致。此外，无论是 Sui 决定不审查相关交易，还是选择对 Cetus 的行为负责，如果背后有程序合法性，这两个决定都是合理的。

基于可信执行环境的私密证明委托

PSE 研究开发团队使用 Intel TDX 构建了一个基于可信执行环境（Trusted Execution Environment）的系统，用于安全的零知识证明委托。该系统允许客户端在不泄露输入的前提下，将大规模的证明任务私密地外包出去。相比受限于硬件能力的移动端本地证明，基于 TEE 的证明方案能够在目前就支持更大规模的陈述，并且随着证明系统的改进持续扩展。作为一种由硬件支撑的解决方案，TEE 能够兼容未来在软件层面的进展（例如更快的证明系统、更高效的工程实现），且只要信任模型被接受，就不会因这些进展而失效。

The 8-Month Prison Sentence That Changed Crypto's Security Landscape

Freedom comes at a price. Just ask Tigran Gambaryan, who finally resigned from Binance after spending 8 months in a Nigerian prison for doing his job.

While headlines focus on Bitcoin's price swings and Trump-Musk feuds, the real story is how vulnerable crypto executives have become on the global stage. Gambaryan's detention wasn't random – it was a warning shot to compliance officers worldwide.

The former IRS investigator joined Binance to strengthen their compliance, only to be detained while traveling for work. His crime? Being too good at his job in an industry where borders mean nothing but local governments still control everything.

This pattern repeats across jurisdictions: executives detained, exchanges pressured, and compliance officers caught in geopolitical crosshairs. Meanwhile, companies like Uber quietly explore stablecoins to move money globally while avoiding similar risks.

What security measures are you implementing to protect your crypto assets and identity when traveling internationally? The next detention story could impact your investments more than any market dip.

The Freedom Paradox: Why Bitcoin's Biggest Threat Isn't Regulation

Bitcoin was designed to escape government control. Now it's becoming the darling of presidents, corporations, and nation-states.

Japan's Metaplanet just announced plans to acquire 91,000 Bitcoin in the next 18 months. Michael Saylor's Strategy quadrupled its stock offering to $1 billion for more Bitcoin purchases. Even Pakistan's crypto minister is meeting with Wall Street and NYC's mayor.

The very institutions Bitcoin was created to circumvent are now its biggest champions.

This isn't just ironic – it's potentially dangerous. As Bitcoin becomes institutionalized, the revolutionary spirit that made it valuable risks being diluted. When presidents tweet about it and corporations hoard it, does Bitcoin still represent financial freedom?

The true test isn't Bitcoin's price but whether it remains censorship-resistant when those same powerful entities decide they want control.

Is Bitcoin being captured by the establishment, or has it simply arrived? Your answer determines whether you're investing in revolution or just another asset class.

What do you think happens when the rebels become the rulers?

ปิดท้าย week นี้ด้วยสงครามดีไหมครับ ถ้าอาหารเป็นสนามรบ สิทธิบัตรก็เปรียบเหมือนป้อมปราการ และการฟ้องร้องก็คือปืนใหญ่ยิงสวนกันกลางแดด…ใครที่เคยคิดว่าโลกของอาหารแห่งอนาคตจะสวยงามเพราะเปลี่ยนถั่วเป็นสเต๊ก สกัดกลิ่นเลือดจากพืช หรือหลอกลิ้นให้เชื่อว่า “อร่อยเหมือนเนื้อ” ก็คงต้องมานั่งทบทวนใหม่ว่า โลกใบนี้ไม่ได้ขับเคลื่อนด้วยความฝัน แต่ขับเคลื่อนด้วยเอกสาร 70 หน้าของทนายความ และหมายเรียกจากศาลกลางรัฐเดลาแวร์

Motif FoodWorks เข้ามาในวงการอาหารด้วยวิสัยทัศน์สุดเท่ คือจะสร้างโครงสร้าง-กลิ่น-รส ของโปรตีนอนาคตให้แบรนด์ plant-based ทั่วโลกใช้ได้โดยไม่ต้องเริ่มใหม่ตั้งแต่ศูนย์ เปรียบเหมือนเป็นเบื้องหลังของวงการ มีซอสลับคือ HEMAMI™ ที่สกัดกลิ่นเนื้อจากยีสต์ ผ่านวิธีการทางวิทยาศาสตร์สุดซับซ้อน ฟังแล้วดูดี แต่ปัญหาคือซอสลับของเขาดัน “คล้ายเกินไป” กับของ Impossible Foods ที่ใช้ heme protein เหมือนกัน

แล้วอะไรคือจุดเปราะบางที่ทำให้ Motif ต้องร่วง?

เฮียอยากให้ลองคิดแบบนี้ครับ สมมุติว่ามีร้านกาแฟใหม่ที่ตั้งใจจะขายกาแฟแนวใหม่ ใช้เมล็ดกาแฟหมักยีสต์กลิ่นกล้วยหอม รสชาตินุ่มลึก เป็นของตัวเอง เขาไม่ได้ก็อปสูตรใคร แต่ดันไปใช้กระบวนการคล้ายกับแบรนด์เจ้าตลาดที่เขียนจดสิทธิบัตรเอาไว้ก่อนแล้ว แค่คล้ายก็พอจะโดนลากขึ้นศาลได้ เพราะในโลกของสิทธิบัตร “ความใหม่” และ “ความไม่เหมือน” คือสิ่งศักดิ์สิทธิ์ แม้จะไม่ได้ก็อปตรง ๆ

Impossible Foods เห็นช่องนี้ชัด พวกเขายื่นฟ้องทันที โดยระบุว่า HEMAMI™ ของ Motif ละเมิดสิทธิบัตรเทคนิคการใช้ heme เพื่อสร้างรสชาติเหมือนเนื้อในผลิตภัณฑ์ plant-based ซึ่งเป็นหัวใจหลักที่ Impossible ใช้มัดใจตลาดมาหลายปี

ในเดือนมีนาคม 2022, Impossible Foods ก็ลุกขึ้นมาฟ้อง Motif FoodWorks ต่อศาลรัฐบาลกลางของสหรัฐฯ โดยอ้างว่า HEMAMI™ ละเมิดสิทธิบัตรของตนที่เกี่ยวข้องกับการใช้โปรตีน heme ในการสร้างรสชาติและกลิ่นที่คล้ายเนื้อจริงในผลิตภัณฑ์จากพืช จุดนี้ดูผิวเผินเหมือนแค่ “บริษัท A เหมือนของบริษัท B เลยโดนฟ้อง” แต่ความจริงซับซ้อนและลึกกว่านั้นมาก เพราะทั้งสองบริษัทต่างก็ใช้วิธีผลิตโปรตีน heme ที่คล้ายกันมาก นั่นคือการดัดแปลงพันธุกรรมจุลินทรีย์ให้ผลิตโปรตีนเฉพาะ แล้วหมักออกมาในถังขนาดใหญ่ แต่ต่างกันที่วัตถุดิบและดีไซน์โปรตีน

Impossible Foods ใช้ “soy leghemoglobin” ซึ่งเป็นโปรตีน heme จากรากถั่วเหลือง ส่วน Motif ใช้ “bovine myoglobin” ซึ่งเลียนแบบของวัวจริง ๆ โดยตรง ความคล้ายคือโปรตีนทั้งสองต่างก็ให้กลิ่นคาวแบบเนื้อเมื่อโดนความร้อน และสร้างสีแดงแบบ rare steak ได้เหมือนกัน ทั้งยังถูกหมักด้วยจุลินทรีย์ GMO แบบใกล้เคียงกันอีกด้วย แม้จะต่างสายพันธุ์ของโปรตีน แต่การฟ้องครั้งนี้ตั้งอยู่บนแนวคิดว่า “วิธีการใช้” โปรตีน heme ในอาหารจากพืชอาจเข้าข่ายละเมิดสิทธิบัตร

จากนั้นไม่กี่เดือน Motif ก็สวนกลับโดยการยื่นคำร้อง “Inter Partes Review” (IPR) กับสำนักงานสิทธิบัตรของสหรัฐฯ (USPTO) ผ่าน PTAB ซึ่งเป็นขั้นตอนที่ใช้เพื่อขอให้ตรวจสอบความถูกต้องของสิทธิบัตรที่กำลังมีปัญหา แนวคิดคือถ้าพิสูจน์ได้ว่าสิทธิบัตรของ Impossible นั้นไม่ใหม่จริง หรือมี prior art อยู่ก่อนแล้ว (เช่น งานวิจัยเก่า ๆ ที่ตีพิมพ์ก่อน) ก็จะทำให้สิทธิบัตรนั้นกลายเป็นโมฆะ

Motif ยื่นคำร้องโจมตีสิทธิบัตรถึง 7 ฉบับของ Impossible แบบกระหน่ำชุดใหญ่ ยิงทีเดียวหวังให้สั่นคลอนทั้งระบบ แต่ PTAB รับพิจารณาเพียงฉบับเดียว (หมายเลขสิทธิบัตร 10,933,018) และท้ายที่สุดในเดือนเมษายน 2023 ศาลตัดสินยกเลิกฉบับนั้นจริง โดยให้เหตุผลว่า “ไม่เป็นสิ่งประดิษฐ์ใหม่อย่างเพียงพอ” ซึ่งถือเป็นชัยชนะเล็ก ๆ ของ Motif และสร้างแรงกระเพื่อมในแวดวงวิทยาศาสตร์อาหารอยู่พอสมควร

แต่แม้จะมีชัยบางส่วน อีก 6 ฉบับที่เหลือ PTAB กลับไม่รับพิจารณา โดยบอกว่า “หลักฐานไม่ชัดเจนพอจะเข้าขั้นพิจารณาใหม่” นั่นทำให้ฝั่ง Impossible ยังถือสิทธิบัตรส่วนใหญ่ไว้อยู่เหมือนเดิม แล้วก็เริ่มกลับมาเร่งกระบวนการฟ้องร้องในศาลต่อ ซึ่งหมายความว่า Motif ยิ่งต้องใช้เงินมากขึ้นเรื่อย ๆ ในการสู้รบทั้งสองด้าน ทั้งในศาลและในระบบสิทธิบัตร

ชัยชนะเล็ก ๆ นี้กลายเป็นดาบสองคม เพราะในขณะที่ Motif ดีใจว่าล้มได้ 1 ฉบับ ตลาดกลับมองว่าพวกเขาสู้แบบดิ้นสุดตัว ซึ่งในมุมของนักลงทุน นั่นแปลว่า "ขาดเงินทุนหมุนเวียน" หรือ “มีแนวโน้มขาดทุนต่อเนื่อง” มากกว่าจะมองว่าเป็นฮีโร่สู้เพื่อความถูกต้อง

ระหว่างนี้ Motif ยังพยายาม “spin” ภาพลักษณ์ตัวเองในเชิงบวกอย่างหนัก พวกเขาเปิดตัวผลิตภัณฑ์ใหม่ชื่อ “Motif MoBeef™” และ “Motif MoChicken™” โดยใช้ HEMAMI™ ผสมอยู่ พร้อมโชว์ผลงานให้เชฟชื่อดังระดับ Michelin มาชิมและออกสื่อ โดยหวังว่าจะสร้างความเชื่อมั่นให้ตลาดว่า “ผลิตภัณฑ์เรายังไปต่อได้” และอาจดึงดีลใหม่หรือการลงทุนเพิ่มเข้ามาเพื่อบรรเทาภาระจากการฟ้องร้อง

และในขณะที่ Motif เดินหน้าเปิดตัวผลิตภัณฑ์ใหม่เพื่อแสดงพลังให้ตลาดเห็นว่า “เรายังไปต่อได้” ฝั่ง Impossible กลับเดินเกม PR อย่างเงียบ ๆ ด้วยการแจ้งเตือนสื่อและผู้ถือหุ้นว่า “Motif ยังใช้เทคโนโลยีละเมิดอยู่ต่อเนื่อง” พร้อมแนบเอกสารคำฟ้องเพิ่มในปี 2023 ซึ่งแปลความได้ว่า “ศึกยังไม่จบ อย่าเพิ่งส่งเงินให้คู่แข่งเรา” เพราะในเอกสารคำฟ้องของปี 2023 พวกเขาเสริมข้อกล่าวหาใหม่ว่าการที่ Motif ออกสื่อและใช้ HEMAMI™ ต่อไป “เป็นการจงใจละเมิด” และอาจเข้าข่ายการทำลายคุณค่าของแบรนด์ Impossible โดยตรง จุดนี้ยิ่งทำให้ Motif อยู่ในมุมที่เสี่ยงและลำบากมากขึ้น

การต่อสู้ของทั้งสองบริษัทจึงไม่ใช่แค่เรื่องใครเลียนแบบใคร แต่มันคือเกมยืดเวลา เผาเงิน ปั่นมูลค่า และวัดใจนักลงทุนว่าใครจะถอยก่อนกัน และสุดท้ายคนที่หมดลมหายใจก่อนก็คือ Motif แม้จะมีนักวิทยาศาสตร์เก่ง ๆ เทคโนโลยีล้ำ ๆ หรือวัตถุดิบดีแค่ไหน แต่เมื่อต้องมาสู้กับยักษ์ที่มีสิทธิบัตรในมือ บารมีในตลาด และชื่อเสียงติดหูผู้บริโภค…ก็ยากที่จะเอาชนะด้วยวิทยาศาสตร์เพียงอย่างเดียว

ศึกนี้จึงไม่ได้จบแค่ในศาล แต่มันลากไปถึงห้องประชุมนักลงทุน พาดหัวข่าวใน Business Insider และบอร์ด Reddit ที่คุยกันว่า “Motif จะไปไม่รอดหรือเปล่า” ซึ่งในยุคที่เงินทุนคือออกซิเจน การที่ภาพลักษณ์ของบริษัทเริ่มสั่นคลอน ก็เหมือนถังอากาศรั่วในห้องแล็บใต้ทะเล…ไม่นานนัก Motif ก็เริ่มลดจำนวนพนักงาน ลดเป้าการผลิต และสุดท้าย “ลดบทบาทตัวเองในตลาด”

หากดูเผิน ๆ หลายคนอาจคิดว่านี่คือเรื่องของสองบริษัทใหญ่ในโลก plant-based ที่ทะเลาะกันเอง แต่จริง ๆ แล้วนี่คือบทเรียนใหญ่ของ “วงการอาหารแห่งอนาคต” ที่กำลังเติบโตบนหลังคำว่า IP Intellectual Property ใครถือสิทธิบัตรก่อน คนนั้นตั้งกฎได้ ใครมาใหม่ ถ้าไม่จดให้ไว ก็อาจต้องจ่ายค่าต๋งตลอดชีวิต

และที่เจ็บปวดที่สุดคือบางทีของที่คุณคิดขึ้นมาเอง อาจไม่ใช่ของคุณอีกต่อไปแล้ว ถ้าคุณไม่มีเอกสารในมือ

นี่แหละครับ วงการที่ดูเหมือนจะขาย “นวัตกรรมอาหาร” แต่จริง ๆ แล้วขาย “สิทธิบัตรในกล่องข้าว” ใครจะอยู่ใครจะไป บางทีก็ไม่เกี่ยวกับว่า “ของอร่อยแค่ไหน” แต่เกี่ยวกับว่า “ใครมีทนายเก่งกว่า”

และในขณะที่สองยักษ์ใหญ่ยิงกันด้วยเอกสารละเมิดสิทธิ์ เหยื่อเงียบ ๆ อย่างเกษตรกรรายย่อยที่ยังอยากปลูกผักจริง เลี้ยงวัวจริง หรือแม้แต่ผู้บริโภคที่แค่อยากรู้ว่า “กินอะไรแล้วร่างกายจะดีขึ้น” กลับวนเวียนในทางอยู่ในโลกที่อาหารทุกคำถูกควบคุมโดยทุน จดหมายเรียกจากศาล และวัตถุดิบสังเคราะห์ที่มีรหัสมากกว่าชื่อจริง

สงครามสิทธิบัตรเหล่านี้ไม่เคยมีพื้นที่ให้ชาวไร่ หรือผู้บริโภคธรรมดาเข้าไปมีเสียงเลยสักนิด เพราะมันคือการต่อสู้ระหว่างนักล่าที่ฟาดฟันกันบนยอดห่วงโซ่อาหาร แต่เบื้องล่างของพีระมิด กลับมีแต่เหยื่อที่ถูกเลี้ยงให้งุนงง อยู่กับของปลอม และเชื่อว่า “นี่แหละคืออนาคตของอาหาร”

แล้วใครจะบอกเราว่า...ทางรอดคืออะไร?

คำตอบอาจอยู่ไม่ไกล แค่เราต้องกลับมาถามคำถามง่าย ๆ ที่ใครก็ลืมไปว่า “จริง ๆ แล้ว เราต้องการอาหารแบบไหนกันแน่” อาหารที่กินแล้วแข็งแรง หรืออาหารที่บริษัทแข็งแรง?

เพราะตราบใดที่เรายังปล่อยให้กล่องข้าวอยู่ในมือคนจดสิทธิบัตร เราอาจไม่มีวันได้กลับไปจับจอบเอง ปลูกเอง กินเอง แบบที่มนุษย์เคยเป็นมาก่อนโลกจะกลายเป็นห้องทดลองขนาดยักษ์

ศึกระหว่างผู้ล่ายังรุนแรงขนาดนี้ แล้วศึกระหว่างผู้ล่ากับเหยื่อ จะเหลืออะไรครับ

I had a bit of extra time this week to attend a call organized by npub1zuuajd7u3sx8xu92yav9jwxpr839cs0kc3q6t56vd5u9q033xmhsk6c2uc regarding a privacy focused project he's been working on for the last year-or-so. Shout-out to npub1e0z776cpe0gllgktjk54fuzv8pdfxmq6smsmh8xd7t8s7n474n9smk0txy for encouraging me to do so, pushing my somewhat out of my comfort zone in reporting on technical updates.

Also, if you know of or are involved in similar dev calls and would like a report done, please reach out and feel free to share calendar updates.

--npub1f4www6qjx43mckpkjld4apyyr76j3aahprvkduh9gc5xec78ypmsmakqh9 would be awesome to see this talked about on SNL later today, as it seems to be a very important/overlooked project for the future of privacy, nostr and bitcoin broadly.

Anyway, here's the unschooled report--my technical explanations may sometimes be scant, but I've done my best to provide more qualified sources where necessary.

Bringing Secure, Confidential Group Chats to Nostr - A Monthly MLS on Nostr Dev Call

Posted originally to Stacker News \~nostr territory

Developers met Tuesday, 3 Jun at 1600UTC at what would be the first of a monthly series of community calls to discuss updates and respond to questions about the implementation of the MLS (Messaging Layer Security) standard over nostr.

npub1klkk3vrzme455yh9rl2jshq7rc8dpegj3ndf82c3ks2sk40dxt7qulx3vt, npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn, npub1klkk3vrzme455yh9rl2jshq7rc8dpegj3ndf82c3ks2sk40dxt7qulx3vt and npub1zuuajd7u3sx8xu92yav9jwxpr839cs0kc3q6t56vd5u9q033xmhsk6c2uc among others attended and contributed to a discussion about the latter's research and development on implementing a new messaging standard on nostr using MLS.

The call highlighted some of the features of MLS, a relatively new (as of 2023) secure and confidential messaging and group-chat protocol standard. It is modeled to achieve a similar level of security as Signal, prioritizing forward-secrecy and post-compromise security, multi-device compatibility, as well as the ability to scale for large groups.

For those not familiar,

Forward secrecy means that encrypted content in the past remains encrypted even if key material is leaked.\ Post compromise security means that leaking key material doesn't allow an attacker to continue to read messages indefinitely into the future. ^1

Developers working on the project indicated that it will be an improvement on current instant-messaging standards commonly used by nostr clients, such as nip17, for a relatively simple implementation.

Those in attendance overall showed enthusiasm to push this project forward and developers interested are being encouraged to fork the the Nostr-MLS Rust Library to begin working it into their stack. Notably, jeffg and Hillebrand are keen to see new contributors work on the project.

Participants had the opportunity to ask technical questions about how the library handles some features as well as how to begin contributing.

Discussion also centered around issues with MLS (such as potential key-package rotation DOS attack vectors and de-syncing) as well as some key concepts for the new messaging standard such as how key-packages are signed by a users nsec and published to key-package inbox relays before being rotated.

Proofs of Concept

White Noise and 0xchat both have implemented MLS on nostr. These are the first to prove that the concept of secure-confidential group messaging is possible over the distributed nostr-relay protocol.

Learn More

jeffg has kept detailed project updates on his nostr account. Notably, the post MLS Over Nostr explains the vision he has for the project and his presentation The Past and Future of Messaging on Nostr (youtube) gives a high-level overview of messaging on nostr and the problems he is working to solve.

Inflation is one of the most significant factors affecting personal wealth and the economy yet it goes unnoticed until its effects become unavoidable. As the cost of goods and services rises, your purchasing power decreases, and this makes long-term financial planning more challenging.

What is inflation? Inflation is the general increase in prices of goods and the reduction of the purchasing power of money. It is commonly measured by : 1.Consumer Price Index (CPI)

2.Core Inflation

3.Producer Price Index (PPI)

Inflation occurs due to various factors, including increased demand and supply chain disruptions

Why is Inflation Important? Inflation is crucial because it affects the cost of living, purchasing power, and the economy as a whole. As prices rise money loses value making it harder for consumers to afford essentials if wages don’t keep up. It also influences interest rates as central banks ,adjust policies to control inflation, borrowing, savings, and investments.

How Inflation Affects Personal Wealth 1. Erosion of Purchasing Power As prices rise, the same amount of money used to buy more before now buys fewer goods and services. 2. Impact on Savings Your money sitting in savings accounts with little or no interest rates loses value over time. If the inflation rate exceeds the interest or profit earned on your savings, then it becomes affected 3. Effects on Investments Their impact is the most because inflation reduces the real value of future payments. 4.Wages & Employment Some businesses may cut costs by reducing roles in a department or reducing pay to keep the team members.

Everyone is affected by inflation.

How Do You Protect Your Wealth from Inflation? 1.Invest in Inflation-Protected Assets Stocks and real estate investments offer long-term growth potential.They give you ownership of a product, which you can use, resell or repackage as you please. 2.Alternative Investments If you have the stomach, commodities, cryptocurrency, and other non-traditional assets may provide inflation releaved. 3. Increase Income Streams Side hustles, passive income, and career advancements can help offset inflation’s impact. 4.Reduce Debt Nigerians are aware of Credit Houses pretending as Loan Sharks chasing debtors around with ridiculous messages of loved ones. In a period of inflation, those loans feel like a double punishment because of ridiculous interest rates and overwhelmed inflation. Whatever you can do to reduce your debt during this period will be life-changing. Also, non-interest debts should always be considered before going down a slippery slope.

Summary Nigeria — A Few Word One thing is clear — inflation persists in almost every corridor of the economy. Inflation is an inevitable part of economic cycles, but understanding its impact allows you to take proactive steps in protecting your wealth. But I believe you can maintain financial stability by following some of the steps above.

Be proactive!

The secret map whales use to liquidate you isn't actually secret anymore.

Bitcoin liquidation maps reveal exactly how market makers target overleveraged positions. When too many traders pile into the same price level with borrowed money, it creates a juicy target.

These maps show concentrated liquidation points where thousands of traders have set their stop losses. Whales don't randomly move markets - they strategically push prices to trigger these cascading liquidations, creating artificial price movements that benefit their positions.

The most dangerous part? Most retail traders have no idea they're swimming in predatory waters. While they're busy following technical patterns and news cycles, institutional players are simply following the money - your money.

Learning to read these liquidation heat maps isn't just a trading edge - it's survival. The difference between profitable traders and liquidated ones often comes down to position sizing and avoiding the obvious liquidation zones where everyone else has clustered.

Are you monitoring the liquidation map before your next leveraged trade, or are you just another dot on someone else's profit target?

About 156,000 blocks ago, I went to a Taco Shop for a bitcoin meetup. I asked my favorite question, “Do you accept bitcoin?”

“Yes," he said as he handed me a Toast Terminal with a BTCpayServer QR code. ]

Awesome!

12,960 blocks later, I took my dad to the taco shop. We ordered food. I asked my favorite question once again.

“Uh…Yeah, but I don't know how to work the machine.”

"Dough!🤦"

It's been a problem in the past, but now lightning payments are about to be ubiquitous. Steak N Shake is taking bitcoin using Speed Wallet and Block is implementing bitcoin payments by 2026 in all legal jurisdictions. I have tested both of these so you don't have to. Just kidding. I geek out on this stuff, but both work great. You can pay with your sats by scanning a screen on a QR code. The employees don't need to be bitcoin lightning network experts. You can just pay as easy as a credit card.

There were 35,000 people at the bitcoin conference, and 4,187 transactions were made. It was a world record. Wait, I thought they said there could only be 7 transactions per second! No, not anymore. Now we can use bitcoin for shopping. I can pay for tacos at taco trucks.

How You Can Accept Bitcoin At Your Business

Coinos is a simple bitcoin point of sale information that acts like a cash register. Bitcoin is peer-to-peer electronic cash. Coinos is a cash register and you should treat it as such. If you make a few hundred thousand sats at the end of the night, you should sweep the bitcoin into your own wallet.. You can use Aqua, AlbyHub, Bull Bitcoin wallet, or whatever your favorite lightning enabled wallet is to withdraw. You'll need a password. Do not lose this. I have tried the automatic withdraws, but it did not work for me. I'm no concerned because this is not a wallet I intend to keep a lot of sats in for a long time.

Here is my coinos payment terminal.

https://coinos.io/ZapthisBlog/receive

I made the QR code with libreqr.com/

Now I have an online bitcoin cash register. The Bitcoiners know how to pay for stuff with sats. They will be proud to show you too. If you're nerdy, you can use all the cool kid tools now, but we will just focus on the lightning address. Anyone can send you sats with a lightning address with just a QR code.

At the end of the night, you cash out to your own wallet. Again, this assumes you have an Aqua Wallet or any other lightning enabled wallet, but all it takes to accept bitcoin at your brick and mortar store is to create an account with Coinos and print out a QR code. It's a quick and easy way to start accepting bitcoin even if you don't expect many clients to shop with sats.

Tips

This is not just a cash register. Employees can also make their own Coinos wallet and receive tips from bitcoiners. Anyone can accept payments using this system. Your kids could use it to sell lemonade for sats. You are only limited by your imagination. When will you begin accepting bitcoin payments? It is easier than ever. You do not need to train employees. You do not need to be in the store. Bitcoin is peer-to-peer electronic cash so you can give it away like cash. I don't know what the tax rules on cash are. You need to verify that with your own jurisdiction. This is not financial or tax advice. This is for informational purposes only.

Remember, this is a custodial wallet. Not your keys not your bitcoin. Don't keep more sats than you are willing to lose on custodial wallets. Sweep your wallet early and often. Loss of funds is possible. There is a small fee for liquidity management too. Do your own research.

The Trump-Musk Feud Just Crashed Bitcoin's Party (And Your Portfolio)

While everyone was celebrating Bitcoin's climb toward $105K, a political spat between two billionaires just wiped out $308 million in long positions overnight.

The intensifying feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk has triggered Bitcoin's sharpest pullback in months, proving once again that crypto markets remain dangerously vulnerable to the whims of powerful personalities.

What's truly revealing isn't the price action but the market's reaction: Bitcoin ETFs flipped to $278 million in outflows while Ethereum ETFs maintained their 14-day inflow streak. This suggests institutional investors are beginning to view Ethereum as the more stable alternative during political volatility.

Meanwhile, Michael Saylor's Strategy quadrupled its stock offering from $250 million to $1 billion to buy more Bitcoin, and Japan's Metaplanet announced plans to acquire 91,000 BTC in the next 18 months. The smart money is buying the dip while retail investors panic.

Are you positioning yourself with the institutions who see this as an accumulation opportunity, or with the traders who just lost hundreds of millions on liquidated positions?

Nostr is NOT a social network. Nostr is a network of interconnected social apps. And, since any app is a social app, Nostr is for every app.

---

ONLY Nostr incentivizes inter-connectivity between independent apps, simply by respecting sovereignty at the protocol layer. For end users, sovereignty means that the content they post “to Nostr” will never be owned by the apps that they use. For businesses building apps on Nostr, sovereignty means that every app actually benefits by other apps being on the network. Because sovereignty is respected, users are retained for longer and independent apps thrive far longer on Nostr than on the legacy “black box” social networks.

Social apps thrive on Nostr

Nostr integration provides these benefits for every app :

• Unrestrained access for any app, to all public and private data “on Nostr”. No fees or licenses for harvesting user data from the network.
• Unburdened from liability, when collecting user data with any app. When sending “to Nostr”, end users retain custody of user data while apps never loose access.
• Unlimited free market of search engines and feed algos. Users and brands can create, use, and share any algos or custom feeds. Grow your audience on your own terms.
• Universal open network for all apps. Build any kind of app for any audience, on the same network as other apps for other audiences. Discover new trends from user data.
• Unregulated tech platform. Build your own app and use it as you wish. No gate keepers. No code review. 

Sovereignty is good for business.

Regardless of the network size, a Nostr integrated app can grow its user base MUCH faster and with greater independence BECAUSE of the sovereignty respecting protocol. While end users may retain custody of their identities and data on the network, it’s the apps that determine which data is, or is not, sent to the network. Respect for sovereignty IS the killer feature that ONLY the Nostr protocol provides for apps and for end users.

Because Nostr is permissionless for any app to integrate :

• end users will always have a free market of apps choose from
• apps are free to integrate only as much as benefits their business model.
• apps gain access to more novel data as new apps bring new users to the network.

Because data on Nostr is managed by end users and available to all apps :

• User data looses exclusivity and the demand shifts toward novel insights and information derived from these data.
• Apps are freed from having to be “data pirates”, and can focus on establishing a trusted user base, providing valuable services to satisfied customers, informed by the abundance of user data.
• Apps are incentivized to offload data onto the network, establishing a new paradigm for interconnectivity, where independence is NOT at stake as the network grows.
• New markets spring up to support users with self custody of their data, driven by the reality that apps can have full access without assuming responsibility.
• The market for search and algo tools opens up for independent apps and end users to discover and interact freely with each other.
• The ad based “attention economy” slowly transforms to a value based consumer economy, where the end user is the customer rather than the product being sold.

Even while privacy is respected

Sometimes sovereignty is at odds with privacy, but Nostr allows all parties to win while both are protected.

• For end users sending sensetive data "to Nostr", privacy is assured by encrypting it with their own private keys and/or sending it to private (auth required) relays of their choosing.
• For apps handling private IP or business data, any traditional “black box” infrastructure can be used in the back end to manitain isolation from Nostr.

This means apps and end users remain in control of their own private data, without requiring “big social” as trust provider or data reseller. To access a user's private data, client apps (even search engines, running locally) only need explicit permission from the end user to retrieve or decrypt from Nostr relays. Public data, on the other hand, is freely available for any app or search engine to harvest from any Nostr relay. In either case, user data on the Nostr network is always accessible to client apps, without additional restrictions or fees.

Nostr is for every app.

Adding social to any app makes it a better app. Add reviews for products or services. Add commenting or direct messaging. Share or collaborate on content creation. Nostr integration is straightforward and incremental for any app.

Nostr doesn't define your app's business model ... Nostr 10X's it!

Here's how :

1. Start with your own business and app design. Add Nosrr login.
2. Discover what "kinds" of user data already exists "on Nostr" that your app can ingest and make use of.
3. Decide which "kinds" of data would benefit your business, your users, and the network, if sent "to Nostr".
4. Implement Nostr integration for data kinds and add webs of trust tools for recommendation and discovery.
5. Verify your app is sovereignty respecting in how it handles private data and implements Nostr NIPs.
6. Engage with existing users, and onboard new users from your app, to earn their trust and patronage over Nostr.

Akhenaten (originally named Amenhotep IV) was a pharaoh of ancient Egypt known for radically transforming Egyptian religion, art, and culture. He is most famous for promoting the worship of one god—Aten, the sun disk—marking one of the earliest recorded movements toward monotheism.

Early Life and Rise to Power of pharaoh Akhenaten.

The Birth Name was  Amenhotep IV, and he was born Around 1380 BCE. By  Pharaoh Amenhotep III, and the mother Likely Queen Tiye. He grew up and married a Wife, Nefertiti, one of Egypt's most iconic queens. He have children, Including daughters and likely the father of Tutankhamun (King Tut).

Amenhotep IV ascended the throne around 1353 BCE, succeeding his father, a powerful and prosperous pharaoh, and there was a Religious Revolution.

A Shift Toward Monotheism

Around his 5th regnal year, Amenhotep IV changed his name to Akhenaten, meaning "Effective for Aten".

He abandoned the traditional Egyptian pantheon, especially the powerful god Amun, and elevated Aten as the sole god.

This was a dramatic break from Egypt's deeply rooted polytheistic religion.

The capital city Akhetaten (Modern-day Amarna). Akhenaten moved the capital from Thebes to a new city he built from scratch: Akhetaten (Horizon of Aten).

The city was dedicated entirely to the Aten religion and became a center of art, culture, and politics.

Nefertiti was not just a queen but a powerful co-ruler. Some theories suggest she may have ruled independently for a time after Akhenaten’s death (possibly as Neferneferuaten).

They had at least six daughters. The identity of Akhenaten's sons is debated, but Tutankhamun is widely believed to be his son, possibly by a secondary wife.

Decline and Death

Akhenaten died around 1336 BCE after a 17-year reign.

After his death, his successors (including Tutankhamun) restored traditional religion, abandoned Atenism, and moved the capital back to Thebes.

His monuments were defaced, and his name was erased from king lists, a process known as damnatio memoriae (damnation of memory).

Legacy

Akhenaten is remembered as:

A visionary who introduced monotheism before it appeared in other cultures.

A heretic who defied over a thousand years of religious tradition.

A reformer whose bold changes caused cultural upheaval.

His religious revolution was short-lived, but modern historians and archaeologists regard him as one of the most fascinating and controversial figures in ancient history.

The reasons why Pharaoh Akhenaten introduced monotheism, the worship of Aten, the sun disk, as the one true god are still debated by historians, but several key political, religious, personal, and philosophical factors likely contributed.

✅ Main Reasons Why Akhenaten Introduced Monotheism

• Religious Reform: Belief in a Universal Power

Akhenaten may have genuinely believed in Aten as the supreme creator and life-giver.

The sun was already important in Egyptian religion (Ra, Amun-Ra), but Akhenaten stripped away all personification, choosing the sun's disk (Aten) as a pure, abstract symbol of divine power.

He saw Aten as omnipresent, providing light and life to everything and everyone equally.

• Political Motivation: Weaken the Power of the Priests

The priesthood of Amun at Thebes had become extremely wealthy and powerful, almost a state within a state. By elevating Aten and banning Amun's worship, Akhenaten dismantled the influence of the Amun priests and centralized religious power in his own hands. He made himself the sole mediator between Aten and the people, increasing royal control.

• Personal Vision and Identity

Akhenaten may have had a personal religious experience or conviction that shaped his devotion to Aten.

His new name, “Akhenaten,” meaning “Effective for the Aten,” reflects a deep, personal connection to this god.

He often depicted himself and his family in direct contact with Aten, showing a highly intimate and unique belief system.

• Philosophical and Artistic Shift

Akhenaten's reign saw a revolution in art, emphasizing naturalism, emotion, and individuality.

This change in thinking may reflect a broader philosophical shift toward a more abstract and spiritual understanding of the divine unified in Aten.

Atenism removed the idea of gods with human forms, replacing them with a universal force (the sun's light).

• Reaction Against Religious Corruption or Complexity

Traditional Egyptian religion had hundreds of gods, rituals, and temple hierarchies.

Akhenaten may have seen the system as corrupt, ritualistic, and too complex for ordinary people.

Atenism was simple, focused, and accessible, with the sun’s light reaching everyone equally.

• Political Instability or Health Issues (Speculative)

Some theories suggest Akhenaten’s appearance (depicted with elongated head, wide hips, etc.) may reflect a genetic disorder (e.g., Marfan syndrome or Froehlich's syndrome).

If he was sickly, he may have been drawn to religious introspection or spiritual reform.

Others suggest that political instability or unrest during his early reign may have motivated a bold unifying reform.

Summary

Akhenaten’s monotheism was unprecedented in Egypt’s long religious history. Whether he was a spiritual visionary, a political tactician, or both, his religious revolution stands out as one of the most dramatic and controversial in ancient history.

Wir verfolgen die Frage, ob der Funktionslogik der Macht ein Schnippchen zu schlagen ist. Dazu ist es notwendig zu untersuchen, ob sich überhaupt undifferenziert nach „der Zukunft“ fragen lässt? Und es damit auch möglich wäre so allgemein zu antworten. Durch genauere Betrachtung des Problems kommen wir zu dem Ergebnis, dass es auf die allgemein und generell gestellte Frage keine gesellschaftlich fruchtbare Antwort geben kann. Dies ändert sich erst, wenn wir die Frage, und damit auch die Antwort, in Aspekte gliedern. Jeder der Aspekte bedarf einer selbständigen Bearbeitung. Dann erschließt sich die Möglichkeit das Problem der Funktionslogik der Macht durch methodische Differenzierung in der gesellschaftlichen Willensbildung zu lösen.

Prelude

Davon, wie wir die Welt verstehen, hängt ab, wie wir handeln. So gesehen ruft die Frage „Zukunft?“ nach der Frage „Wie verstehen wir die Welt?“. Ein Teil der Welt ist unsere Gesellschaft. Welche Paradigmen legen wir dem Verständnis unserer Gesellschaft zugrunde? Denn von den Paradigmen hängt ab, zu welchen Schlüssen wir kommen und welche Gestaltungsideen für die Zukunft wir haben. Ida Rolf – die Erfinderin der strukturellen Integration, heute besser bekannt als Rolfing – fasste das mal in das schöne Bonmot: „Wenn wir von Großvaters Prämissen ausgehen, kommen wir zu Großvaters Schlüssen.“

Die wichtigste und allgemein anerkannte Prämisse in Bezug auf die Gestaltung unserer Gesellschaft ist die, dass überall „Demokratie“ herrschen müsse und jeder im Grundzug doch wisse, was damit gemeint ist. Dennoch ist es uns bisher nicht nachhaltig gelungen mit ihrer Hilfe das Problem der Funktionslogik der Macht, wie Rainer Mausfeld es nennt, zu lösen. Macht hat, einmal etabliert, immer die Tendenz die eigene Stellung zu festigen und sich auszubreiten, so stellt Mausfeld in seinem Buch Hybris und Nemesis[1] fest. Wenn das gilt, müssen wir irgendwie vor die Konstituierung der Macht kommen, um das Problem ihrer Funktionslogik zu lösen. Könnte es also sein, dass wir unser Demokratieverständnis runderneuern müssen?

Um diese Frage zu beantworten, wollen wir uns zunächst klar machen, was ein Systemverbund ist. Das wird uns helfen zu erkennen, dass die Entscheidung für die Demokratie eine Entscheidung für die Anwendung einer bestimmten Methode ist. Und dass diese Methode wie jede Methode Grenzen hat. Und es darum notwendig ist unsere Bemühungen um die Gestaltung unserer Gesellschaft, um weitere Methoden zu ergänzen.

Ein Systemverbund

Ein Auto ist eine feine Sache. Wir können uns hinein setzen und in Urlaub fahren. Damit das geht, wurden verschiedene Systeme zusammen gefügt. Ein System für die Beschleunigung: der Motor mit Kraftstoffversorgung, dem Getriebe, dem Gaspedal usw. Ein System, um gezielt Entschleunigen zu können: die Bremsbeläge, die Bremsscheiben, die hydraulische Druckübertragung, das Bremspedal usw. Und eines, das die Steuerung erlaubt: das Lenkrad, das Übertragungsgestänge usw. Jedes System hat eine bestimmte Funktion. Es ist auf seine Funktion hin angelegt und ist um seiner Funktion willen in den Systemverbund aufgenommen.

Das Antriebssystem, das Bremssystem und das Lenkungssystem sind in sich selbst schlüssige Systeme. Sie folgen ihrer eigenen Logik und müssen aus ihr gedacht werden. Jedem der Systeme liegt ein autonomer Gedankenzusammenhang zugrunde. Und es ist klar, dass wir keines der Systeme missen können, wenn wir wohlbehalten ans Ziel kommen wollen. Es reicht nicht Gas geben zu können, obwohl wir das im Eifer des Alltags manchmal vergessen und einfach nur los wollen. Neben der Möglichkeit Gas zu geben, brauchen wir die Möglichkeit der gezielten und dosierten Abbremsung. Ebenso, wie die Möglichkeit der eindeutigen Lenkbarkeit unseres Gefährts. Jede der genannten Funktionen wird durch eines der Systeme erfüllt. Alle zusammen machen erst ein Auto aus, das den Fahrer sicher ans Ziel bringen kann. Die dazu notwendigen Funktionen lassen sich nur durch das Zusammenfügen verschiedener Systeme zusammenbringen.

Ein Auto ist ein Beispiel für einen Systemverbund: Mehrere in sich selbst schlüssige Systeme stehen in einem Zusammenhang, der als Ganzes wieder in sich selbst schlüssig und darum funktionstüchtig ist, weil jedes System seinen je spezifischen und unentbehrlichen Beitrag leistet. Etwas anders gesagt: ein Systemverbund ist ein Verbund verschiedener Funktionen. Durch das Zusammenspiel wird etwas möglich, was anders nicht zu erreichen ist. In unserem Beispiel die gezielte und sichere Fortbewegung zu Land.

Der Sinn und die Schlüssigkeit, die jedem der einzelnen Systeme innewohnt erklärt sich allein aus ihm selbst. Ein Lenkungssystem ist nicht aus der Logik eines Antriebssystems zu verstehen. Warum? Weil es eine ganz andere Idee ist „Fortbewegung zu veranlassen“ als „Bewegung gezielt zu lenken“. Jedes System ist darauf angelegt seine spezifische Funktion zu erfüllen. Diesen Grundgedanken müssen wir konsequent bis in die Technik zu Ende führen.

So offensichtlich ein System auf seine eigene Funktion hin zu Ende gedacht und mechanisch umgesetzt werden muss, so selbstverständlich darf es nicht mit den anderen Funktionen interferieren. Es darf z.B. im Getriebe – das Teil des Antriebs ist – nicht irgendwo einen Abzweig geben, der unmittelbar zur Lenkung führt, dorthin Kraft überträgt und diese dadurch beeinflusst. Wäre dem so, würde es ziemlich gefährlich, weil weder Lenkung noch Antrieb zuverlässig ihre Bestimmung erfüllen. Eben so wenig darf es einen Zusammenhang zwischen den Leitungen der Bremshydraulik und Kraftstoffzufuhr geben. Auch das würde dazu führen, dass weder das eine, noch das andere System funktioniert.

Zugegeben, ein Auto ist deutlich komplexer als das Zusammenspiel der drei genannten Systeme. Sie alleine machen bestenfalls ein Rohauto aus. Mit Antrieb, Lenkung und Bremsen (plus einem weiteren System, der tragenden Plattform) zu einem Systemverbund zusammengefügt, können wir aber durchaus schon losfahren und im Urlaub ankommen.

Was gewinnen wir mit dieser Auto-Betrachtung?

• [x] Zunächst die Einsicht, dass in einem Systemverbund mehrere Systeme unterschiedliche Funktionen im gegebenen Zusammenhang erfüllen.
• [x] Des weiteren gewinnen wir die Einsicht, dass die einzelnen Systeme ihre jeweils eigene, nur ihnen inhärente Logik haben. Das liegt nahe, da sie ja je spezifische Funktionen erfüllen müssen. Ihre Logik ergibt sich aus ihrer Funktion.
• [x] Und wir gewinnen die Einsicht, dass der unmittelbare Übergriff eines Systems auf ein anderes zerstörerisch Wirkt.

Zusammengefasst: Ein Systemverbund tut seinen Dienst, wenn die einzelnen Systeme, aus denen er besteht, nur aus ihrer eigenen Funktion heraus gedacht und gebaut sind. Und diese nicht in den Funktionsbereich der anderen Systeme übergreifen. Nur so kann jedes System seine Funktion zuverlässig zum Ganzen beitragen, damit dieses seine ihm zugedachte komplexe Aufgabe erfüllen kann.

Wo die Fahrt hin gehen kann

Wohin die Fahrt gehen soll, ist damit noch nicht gesagt. Allerdings schon, ob sie überhaupt angetreten werden kann. Die Frage des Wohin lässt sich durch Systembetrachtungen nicht beantworten. Dazu müssen völlig andere Aspekte ins Auge gefasst werden. Und insofern wir nicht allein unterwegs sind, stellt sich die Frage, wer eigentlich darüber bestimmen soll?  

Genau da kommt die Demokratie ins Spiel; und üblicherweise eben alleine. Denn sie ist der allein anerkannte Weg der gesellschaftlichen Willensbildung, also Entscheidungsfindung. Die Frage „wo soll die Fahrt hingehen?“ könnte demnach ihr Gegenstand sein. Oder anders – auf der Paradigmenebene – ausgedrückt: Demokratie ist Ausdruck des Mehrheitswillens unserer Großgemeinschaft Staat. Was wir durch sie erreichen wollen, ist eine durch die Mehrheit geschaffene Gestaltung des Gemeinwesens.

Wir meinen im Allgemeinen, dass Demokratie grundsätzlich die einzige Art ist, wie ein gemeinsamer Wille gebildet werden kann. Es soll hier aber die Frage gestellt werden, ob dieses Paradigma uneingeschränkt gilt. Denn sonst erleiden wir womöglich das Schicksal derer, die auf eine nicht gestellte Frage natürlich auch keine Antwort erhalten. Als Resultat tritt Bewusstseinsblindheit auf. Also: Welche Art von gemeinsamem Willen kann Demokratie überhaupt bilden und welche nicht? Denn es ist alles andere als evident, dass es grundsätzlich nur eine Art des gemeinsamen Wollens geben kann.

Willensbildung Klappe 1

Damit sind wir also endlich bei der Frage nach unserem Demokratieverständnis angekommen. Reicht das übliche Verständnis, das wir von Demokratie haben, um eine Gesellschaft als Ganzes zu gestalten? Oder wäre der demokratische Prozess – um an unseren Vergleich mit dem Systemverbund Auto anzuknüpfen, wobei wir an Stelle der Systeme die Methoden der Willensbildung setzen – eher als ein System zu verstehen, das also nur seine Funktion beisteuern kann. Das aber erst zusammen mit anderen Systemen, die jeweils ihre Funktionen beisteuern, einen Systemverbund bilden kann, der die komplexere Funktion der Gesellschaftsbildung möglich macht?

Welche Funktion erfüllt Demokratie? Oder sagen wir etwas vorsichtiger: die Erfüllung welcher Funktion erwarten wir von ihr? Das methodische Konzept der Demokratie ist das Feststellen des Mehrheitswillens. Das Abstimmungsprinzip aber löscht im Ergebnis den Willen des Einzelnen aus und stellt ihn unter ein allgemeines, abstraktes Gesetz. Es ist notwendig ein Rasenmäherprinzip: Als Abstimmender bin ich Rasenmäher, als der vom Beschlossenen betroffene, bin ich der Rasen. Das Abstimmungsprinzip gibt mir wie jedem anderen das Recht mitzubestimmen und nimmt mir das Recht über das Entschiedene allein zu entscheiden. Es macht gleich, denn es zählt nur die Mehrheit. Gesellschaftlicher Friede ist gewährleistet, wenn die so beschlossenen Gesetze für alle gleichermaßen gelten und es keine Privilegien oder Korruption gibt. Die große Forderung einer allgemein anerkannten Rechtsordnung, die Sicherheit durch Gleichheit vor dem Recht garantiert, ist, was wir mittels der Demokratie zu erfüllen suchen. Darauf beruht ihre Stärke. Und damit erfüllt sie die Funktion, die wir von ihr erwarten. Denken wir das in sich selbst zu Ende, macht es Sinn. Die methodische Eigenheit des Abstimmungsprinzips ein Rasenmäherprinzip zu sein, macht uns alle gleich. Mit andern Worten, legt das Abstimmungsprinzip mit seiner gesetzschaffenden Kraft die Grundlage für Sicherheit durch eine Rechtsordnung, die die Forderung nach Gleichheit vor dem Recht erfüllt. Das Abstimmungsprinzip ist also methodisch geeignet einen ganz spezifischen Beitrag zu unserer Gesellschaft als ganzer zu leisten: Die Gesetzgebung zu unserem Gesellschaftsbau beizusteuern.

Bleibt die Frage, wo die Grenzen dieses Prinzips verlaufen. Wenn wir diese essentielle Frage nicht stellen, laufen wir Gefahr kein Bewusstsein dafür zu haben, wenn das demokratische Prinzip in noch zu ortende andere Lebensbereiche funktionswidrig übergreift. Finden wir uns mit der Forderung nach Sicherheit durch Recht und Gesetz in unserem ganzen Sein wieder? Dass wir nicht ohne können und wollen ist klar. Aber ist das alles? Oder gibt es andere Seiten an unserem Wesen, die darum auch Platz haben müssen in unserem Gesellschaftsbau? Wir sagen ja auch nicht „danke, ich habe heute schon getrunken, ich muss heute nicht essen“. Wir trinken und wir essen, beides ist essentiell.

Es ist klar und offensichtlich: Wenn das Schaffen von Recht die angestrebte Funktion des Abstimmungsprinzips ist und sie sauber durch die Gleichheit vor demselben erfüllt werden soll, muss die Methode des Mehrheitsprinzips an der Erfüllung jeder jenseits dieser Forderung liegenden Funktion scheitern.

Aber gibt es überhaupt etwas, was jenseits liegt? Na klar! Denn ebenso, wie wir eine Seite an uns haben, von der wir Gleiche unter Gleichen sind, haben wir eine Seite an uns, von der wir im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes voneinander abhängig sind. Wir hören das in unserem modernen Unabhängigkeitsbewusstsein natürlich nicht gern. Aber es ist so: Es gibt eine Seite an uns, die uns schlicht und einfach komplett abhängig voneinander macht. Hier muss der eine für den anderen tätig werden. Ein durch das demokratische Abstimmungsverfahren geschaffener, abstrakter Ordnungsrahmen allein muss nach dieser Richtung hin zwangsläufig versagen.

Willensbildung Klappe 2

Haben Sie sich mal gefragt, was eigentlich passieren muss, damit ein Auto zustande kommt? Für ein Auto habe ich leider kein plastisches Beispiel zur Hand. Für ein Smartphone schon. Vaclav Smil schreibt dazu in seinem Buch Wie die Welt wirklich funktioniert[2]: „Apples in den USA entworfene iPhones werden in einer in taiwanesischem Besitz befindlichen Fabrik (Hon Hai Precision, an der Börse als Foxconn gehandelt) zusammengebaut, die in Shenzhen in der chinesischen Provinz Guangdong steht. Die Bauteile kommen dabei aus mehr als einem Dutzend Ländern, und die fertigen iPhones werden im Rahmen einer sorgfältig einstudierten Marketing-Choreografie weltweit vertrieben.“ Ohne dieses sich über den ganzen Globus erstreckende Zusammenspiel gäbe es dieses kleine Gerät nicht. Etwas spitz gesagt: Der Gedanke der Wirtschaft dadurch wieder einen menschlichen Anstrich zu geben, dass wir allein den Wert regionaler Kreisläufe betonen, ist nostalgisch und nicht realisierbar. Es entspricht nicht der Wirklichkeit, in der wir leben. Unsere arbeitsteilige Gesellschaft bringt notwendigerweise mit sich, dass wir umfassend füreinander arbeiten und also auch voneinander abhängig sind. Denn wir hätten nicht nur keine Smartphones, sondern auch keine Autoreifen und keinen Kaffee zum Frühstück, wenn wir ausschließlich oder auch nur überwiegend regional wirtschaften wollten. Es ist völlig klar, dass unser modernes Unabhängigkeitsbewusstsein – und mir geht es da auch nicht anders – Amok gegen diese Feststellung der totalen Abhängigkeit läuft. Der Gedanke ist einfach nicht auszuhalten. Doch drehen wir ihn einmal in sein positives Licht: Wir sind umfassend global miteinander verbunden und tragen gegenseitig zum Wohlergehen bei! Die Frage ist schon lange nicht mehr, ob wir weltweit verbunden sind. Sondern ausschließlich die, ob wir einsehen können, dass wir im Feld der Wirtschaft untrennbar miteinander verbunden sind. Und aus dieser Einsicht dann zu besseren Lösungsansätzen kommen können. Dass diese nicht aus dem methodischen Ansatz des Mehrheitsprinzips kommen können, das nur abstrakte Regeln aufstellen kann, liegt auf der Hand.

Für den wirtschaftlichen Prozess in Produktion, Handel und Konsumtion sind vielfältige Aspekte zusammenzutragen. Und diese Vielfalt darf gerade nicht verloren gehen. Und vor allen Dingen: Es braucht Fachkenntnis! Nicht jeder kann zu allem etwas sagen, sondern jeder nur zu dem, was er überblickt. Der methodische Ansatz muss also statt der eines nur formalen Abstimmens zu sein, einer sein, der erlaubt die konkreten verschiedenen Fähigkeiten und Lebenserfahrungen zu integrieren. Nur so gelangen wir in diesem Feld zu Entscheidungen, die der Sache dienen können. Die Methode muss das Zusammentragen von Einzelaspekten, die jeweils an verschiedenen Stellen gegeben sind, erlauben. Ein Modell dieser Art ist der Konsent (das t ist kein Tippfehler). Er erlaubt den kleinsten gemeinsamen Nenner zu bestimmen.[3] Diese „Methode des Zusammentragens von Einzelaspekten", also gegenüber der Abstimmungsmethode – die nur „Ja/Nein" abfragt – geänderte Fragestellung, verändert auch den daraus folgenden Prozess wesentlich. Er wird ein methodischer Prozess der fortwährend integrierenden, also einbindenden Steuerung. Und macht durch das fortlaufende Zusammentragen der verschiedenen Einzelperspektiven und Kenntnisse ein integriertes Urteil möglich. Nur diese Urteilsform erlaubt eine gemeinsame Willensbildung, die im Feld der Befriedigung unserer Bedürfnisse zielführend sein kann.

Neben der Forderung nach einer mehrheitlich anerkannten Rechtsordnung, die nach dem Gleichheitsprinzip realisiert wird und die wir methodisch korrekt mittels des Abstimmungsprinzips beantworten können, können wir nun auch die Forderung nach der Befriedigung unserer Bedürfnisse methodisch sauber beantworten. Das Prinzip der integrativen Urteilsfindung macht es möglich. Ein praktisches Beispiel dafür ist der Konsent-Prozess, wie er im Rahmen der soziokratischen Kreisorganisation in Unternehmen schon seit vielen Jahren geübt wird und methodisch voll entwickelt ist.[4]

Es ist eben irrtümlich zu meinen, dass das allein Entscheidende zur Vermenschlichung der Wirtschaft sei, sie zu regionalisieren. Entscheidend ist, ob nach dem integrativen Prinzip gehandelt wird. Das bringt die Wirklichkeit der weltweiten Arbeitsteilung mit sich. Wir müssen die notwendig von ihr bedingte Zerstückelung bewusst durch die Geste des Zusammenschlusses, der Zusammenarbeit überwinden. Sind wir so weit, ist es nicht so schwer einzusehen, dass hier auch ein anderes Prinzip der Willensbildung als das der Abstimmung greifen muss. Entscheidungen nach einem generalisierenden Mehrheitsprinzip bei dem jeder mitbestimmen kann, haben hier nichts zu suchen. Stattdessen kommt es, wie gesagt, auf eine integrative Urteilsfindung der Fähigen und der Betroffenen an. Was auf diese Weise zustande kommt, hat eine ganz andere Willensqualität. Diese ist nicht auf das Aufstellen von Regeln gerichtet, sondern auf die Gestaltung der Produktion und das Wahrnehmen der Bedürfnisse ausgerichtet. Nur ein Zusammenwirken und eine Entscheidungsfindung auf diese Weise kann unsere Bedürfnisse in der Fülle befriedigen, an die wir gewöhnt sind. Abstrakte Regeln, wie in der Planwirtschaft, als Handlungsanweisungen für wirtschaftliches Handeln sind absolut unproduktiv. Unser wirtschaftlicher Wille ist in die Befriedigung der konkret festzustellenden Bedürfnisse, also die Leistung von entsprechenden Produkten und Dienstleistungen eingespannt.

Die durch die Arbeitsteilung und sinnvolle Zusammenarbeit entstehende Rationalisierung, das sogenannte Kooperationsplus, welches durch die Kooperation entsteht und dadurch unseren Wohlstand ermöglicht, lässt sich übrigens als mathematisches Modell abbilden. Auf der Website www.farmersfable.org wird es anschaulich dargestellt.[5]

Willensbildung Klappe 3

Nun, damit, dass wir getrunken und gegessen haben, ist aber unser ganzes Wesen noch immer nicht vollständig umfasst. Es bleibt eine weitere Blickrichtung, der wir uns zuwenden müssen. Denn auch wenn wir schon getrunken und gegessen haben, müssen wir trotzdem atmen. Das Abstimmungsprinzip ist nach dieser Richtung genauso zum Scheitern verurteilt, wie das Prinzip der integrativen Urteilsfindung. Beide helfen nicht weiter. Das aus dem gleichen Grund, aus dem die Systeme der Be- und Entschleunigung eines Autos nicht die Funktion der Lenkung erfüllen können.

Um was handelt es sich? Wenn Sie jetzt grade diesen Essay lesen, können Sie das Erfassen und Bewerten der Gedanken, die ich Ihnen anbiete, nur ganz alleine leisten.

Wenn ein Autor seine Sache gut macht, schreibt er so, dass Ihnen das Gedankenerfassen leicht gemacht wird, egal, ob Sie ihm nun zustimmend oder ablehnend folgen. Aber ob Sie am Ende die dargelegten Gedanken erfassen, liegt ganz bei Ihnen. Es liegt allein in Ihrer Initiative. Genauso, wie nur van Gogh darüber entscheiden konnte, welchen Farbton er an eine bestimmte Stelle seines Bildes „Sternennacht“ setzte. Oder genauso wie Kopernikus sich zu dem Gedanken durchrang, dass die Sonne den Mittelpunkt unseres Planetensystems bildet. Es gibt einen Aspekt an uns, von dem wir weder Gleiche unter Gleichen sind, noch voneinander abhängig. Es ist der Aspekt unserer ursprünglichen schöpferischen Einmaligkeit. Keine Vorschriften, von außen aufgesetzte Regeln oder irgendwelche Abhängigkeiten helfen da. Der freie Geist will und kann nur aus sich selbst produktiv werden. Das zeigt sich schon am Erfassen eines einzelnen Gedanken. Ein Kulturleben und Bildungseinrichtungen, die diesen Namen verdienen, müssen dem gerecht werden.

Und insofern es hier um eine gemeinsame Willensbildung geht, kann sie immer nur auf freier Initiative und freiem Zuspruch beruhen und nicht auf demokratisch beschlossenen Programmen noch auf wirtschaftlicher Abhängigkeit. Denn diese Willensbildung muss zwangsläufig aus dem Innersten unseres Wesens kommen, sonst ist sie keine Initiative. Es ist eine Willensqualität, die weder in die Notwendigkeiten der Bedürfnisbefriedigung eingespannt, noch dem Rasenmäherprinzip abstrakter Gesetze unterworfen sein kann.

Wir haben es insgesamt also mit drei völlig unterschiedlichen Willensqualitäten und also grundsätzlich unterschiedlichen Arten der Willensbildung zu tun. Soll unser Gesellschaftsbau so geräumig und sinnvoll gestaltet sein, dass wir darin wirklich leben können, muss er dem gerecht werden. Wir müssen entsprechende Formen ausbilden:

• Wir müssen Räume schaffen, in denen der Wille, der der Bedürfnisbefriedigung dient und in sie eingespannt ist, Platz finden kann.
• Und andere Räume, in dem der Wille, sich in einer Rechtsordnung einzufinden, die Sicherheit durch die Gleichheit vor dem Recht garantiert, sich ausleben kann.
• Und Räume, in denen der Wille unserer Individualität, schöpferisch in Freiheit der Entfaltung des eigenen Wesens entgegen zu streben, aufblühen kann.

Wollen wir in Bezug auf letzteres eine konkrete Forderung aufstellen, so liegt nahe Art. 7, Satz 1 des Grundgesetzes ins Auge zu fassen. Er lautet: „Das gesamte Schulwesen steht unter der Aufsicht des Staates.“[6] Das steht natürlich diametral gegen das Ergebnis unserer Untersuchung. Denn es heißt im Klartext ja nichts anderes, als „der Staat erzieht sich vormundschaftlich seine Bürger“. Was wieder nichts anderes heißt, als die Wesensentfaltung unter das Prinzip der Gleichheit zu stellen, die durch demokratisch beschlossene sog. Bildungsprogramme und weisungsgebundene Lehrkräfte realisiert wird. Das kann nicht gehen, weil wahre Entwicklung nur auf Initiative und Liebe zur Sache beruhen kann. Alles andere ist Dressur und Entmündigung. Statt einer Schulanwesenheitspflicht brauchen wir ein Recht auf Bildung unter frei gewählten Bedingungen! Das selbstverständlich nur hervorgehen kann aus einem allgemeinen Recht auf freies Geistesleben.

Wenn wir unser Gesellschaftshaus nicht so bauen, dass ein Raum des freien und also selbst organisierten Geisteslebens gesichert ist, werden wir immer in einer dahinvegetierenden Kultur leben, weil das einzig produktive Element derselben permanent ausgetilgt wird: Der freie, schöpferische und selbstverantwortliche Mensch.

Es gibt übrigens eine ganz friedliche Abkürzung in diese Richtung, insofern Sie selbst kulturell tätig sind: Lehnen Sie die Annahme jeder Zahlung von Steuergeldern ab. Das bewirkt Wunder!

Summa summarum

In der Erkenntnis der verschiedenen Willensqualitäten, die uns eigen sind, liegt des Rätsels Lösung für unsere gesellschaftlichen Konflikte. So gesehen stellt sich die Frage nach „der Zukunft“ nicht als einheitliche dar, sondern als in sich differenziert. Ergo muss auch die Aufforderung „Machen!“ sich differenziert zeigen. Denn davon, wie wir die Welt verstehen, hängt ab, wie wir handeln.

Das Mehrheitsprinzip liefert die Grundlage für eine allgemein anerkannte Ordnung, die Rechtssicherheit durch Gleichheit vor dem Gesetz hervorbringt und Mitbestimmung bei dessen Hervorbringung gewährleistet. Diese Rechtsordnung muss dann durch das staatliche Gewaltmonopol nach innen und außen geschützt werden. Selbstredend unter Einhaltung des Uno Gewaltverbots, wie es in der Charta der Vereinten Nationen Artikel 2 Nr. 4[7] formuliert ist. Und selbstredend unter Einhaltung des Aussagekerns bei Transposition auf das Innenverhältnis, also das Individuum.

Das Prinzip des integrativen Urteils schafft die Möglichkeit der zielführenden kooperativen Arbeit im Wirtschaftsleben, das die durch die Arbeitsteilung gegebene Zersplitterung der Gesellschaft überwinden kann. Not und Elend wären die Folge, wollte jemand versuchen alles zur Befriedigung seiner Bedürfnisse nötige selbst zu machen. Bis der Tag rum wäre, hätte er kaum seine nötigsten Grundbedürfnisse gestillt. Und selbst wenn, bliebe fraglich, ob er den Winter überleben würde, denn dafür müssten Vorräte angelegt werden, also mehr geleistet, als nur das tägliche Überleben. So sehr es gegen unser modernes Bewusstsein der Ungebundenheit auch verstößt: In der wirtschaftlichen Sphäre sind wir voneinander abhängig.

Das Prinzip des individuellen Urteils lässt uns über uns selbst hinaus wachsen. Es macht eine lebendige Kultur denkbar, die die Freiheit des Individuums im Zentrum hat und es weder durch Programme zwingt noch durch Finanzierungen verführt. Ein Anfang wäre, wie gesagt, die Ablösung der Schulpflicht durch ein Recht auf selbstorganisierte Bildung, das sich allgemein in ein Recht auf ein freies Geistesleben für jedermann fortsetzt. Welche Gestalt dieses Leben annimmt, ist – im Rahmen der Menschenrechte – natürlich eine ganz individuelle Entscheidung jedes einzelnen. Wes Geistes Kind wir sein wollen liegt in unserer eigenen Hand.

Grenzen der Mechanik

Mit unserem Blick auf einen mechanischen Systemverbund, das Auto, haben wir natürlich kurz gegriffen. Zu kurz, um die volle Wirklichkeit gesellschaftlichen Lebens zu erfassen. Denn wir sind lebendige Wesen. Also müssen wir unsere Gesellschaft auch lebendig denken. Andererseits hat die Beschränkung unseres Vergleiches auf das Feld der Mechanik den Vorteil, dass unmissverständlich deutlich wird: ein System muss seine Funktion zum Ganzen beitragen; das kann es nur, wenn es in sich schlüssig gedacht und gebaut ist. Und dadurch in der Erfüllung seiner Funktion mit den anderen Systemen zu einem komplexeren Ganzen werden kann.

Das gleiche gilt für Methoden: Methoden erfüllen Funktionen. Dass sie ihre spezifische Funktion erfüllen können, bringt zwangsläufig mit sich, dass sie andere nicht erfüllen können. Die Erkenntnis der unterschiedlichen Willensqualitäten macht eine differenzierte Antwort auf die soziale Frage möglich: Wir brauchen drei unterschiedliche methodische Ansätze, um unsere Gesellschaft als Ganzes menschenwürdig zu gestalten. Unterschlagen wir auch nur eine, leugnen wir einen Teil unseres Wesens. Setzen wir sie falsch ein hat es zerstörerische Wirkung. Das muss auf Dauer zu sozialen Verwerfungen führen, die sich im Innern oder Äußern als Unfrieden, ja Krieg, zeigen.

Ein Blick in den Rückspiegel

Zurückblickend können wir also feststellen, dass es möglich ist der Funktionslogik der Macht ein Schnippchen zu schlagen. Durch unsere methodischen Überlegungen kommen wir vor die Konstituierung einer sich zusammenballenden unterschiedslosen und darum krankhaften Macht. Am Ende stellen wir fest, dass die von Mausfeld konstatierte Funktionslogik der Macht nur unter der Voraussetzung eines undifferenzierten Menschen- und damit Gesellschaftsbildes gilt. Statt Macht als etwas zentral Einheitliches aufzufassen, erkennen wir die Notwendigkeit einer Gliederung unserer Gesellschaft in verschiedene Bereiche, in denen wir es mit verschiedenen Qualitäten von Willen zu tun haben.

Quellhinweis

Wir haben mit dieser Betrachtung Ideen des wissenschaftlichen Ansatzes der Dreigliederung des sozialen Organismus verfolgt. Der auf Rudolf Steiner zurückgehende Vorschlag Gesellschaft dreigegliedert zu verstehen ist mittlerweile über 100 Jahre alt. Steiner hat ihn zuerst in seiner Schrift Die Kernpunkten der sozialen Frage[8] ausgeführt und in einer ganzen Reihe von Vorträgen und Aufsätzen weiter erläutert.  

Das Ideenfeld soziale Dreigliederung ist ein Erkenntnisansatz. Er eröffnet die Möglichkeit eines gemeinsamen Bewusstseins von den Bedingungen und Notwendigkeiten der verschiedenen Lebensfelder. Steiner hat immer wieder betont, dass sich die daraus ergebenden zeitgemäßen und praktischen Lösungen jedoch nur in der konkreten Situation finden lassen. So gesehen sind alle im Rahmen von Erörterungen der Dreigliederungsgedanken genannten Lösungsvorschläge nie mehr als Beispiele. Es liegt auf der Hand, dass dem so sein muss, denn es geht ja immer um gemeinsame Willensbildung.

https://t.co/nUm0bFWtO0#Bitcoin #TreasuryStrategy…

— Matador Technologies (@buymatador) June 4, 2025

“Each Unit consists of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant,” stated in the press release. “Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.77 for a period of twelve months from the date of issuance.”

The warrants are subject to acceleration if Matador’s shares trade at or above $1.15 for five consecutive trading days at any time following the date which is four months and one day after the closing date. 

The securities from the second tranche are under a hold period that lasts until October 5, 2025.  As part of the deal, the company also paid finder’s fees totaling $95,582 and issued 152,165 broker warrants on the same terms.

This follows the first tranche of the offering, announced on May 30, 2025, which included a CAD$1.5 million investment from Arrington Capital, a digital asset management firm co-founded by Michael Arrington. 

“We’re thrilled to welcome Arrington Capital as a strategic investor,” said the CEO of Matador Technologies Inc. Deven Soni. “Their deep conviction in the Bitcoin ecosystem and global perspective on digital assets align perfectly with Matador’s vision. This investment enhances our ability to accelerate development of Bitcoin-native financial products and scale our platform globally.”

In that tranche, Matador issued 2,419,354 units under the same terms. Each including one common share and one-half warrant, with full warrants exercisable at $0.77 for one year. Like the second tranche, those warrants are also subject to acceleration if the share price hits $1.15 for five consecutive trading days following the initial four-month period.

“This is more than just a capital raise—it’s a signal that the world’s top digital asset investors see the same future we do,” said the Chief Visionary Officer of Matador Mark Moss.

“At Matador, we believe the next wave of global financial infrastructure will be built on digital assets,” commented Moss. “By aligning with HODL, we’re not just expanding geographically—we’re expanding the reach of the digital assets’ ecosystem into a key innovation hub.”

Botanix Launches Federated Sidechain with 16 Members On Testnet

Botanix Labs has launched Botanix on testnet as a federated sidechain built on Bitcoin with a 16-node founding federation that includes XBTO, Fireblocks, Antpool, UTXO Management, and other entities (full list below).

The federation ensures that no single entity — including Botanix Labs — controls the network. Botanix Labs has relinquished operational responsibilities, transferring governance and consensus to the node operators. The network plans to evolve into a dynamic federation that supports hundreds of nodes, with the long-term goal of enabling anyone to run a Botanix node. The network’s mainnet is scheduled to launch later this quarter.

Willem Schroé, CEO and co-founder of Botanix Labs, stated in a press release that, “The Bitcoin economy cannot be built on centralized rails. With this 16-node founding federation, we’ve stripped out centralized control and laid the groundwork for a fully permissionless future.”

Botanix’s design emphasizes resilience, with geographically distributed nodes and different kinds of security hardware to minimize single points of failure. The goal is to support consistent availability and uncensorable transaction processing, aligning with Bitcoin’s principles of security and open access. Their use of what they call the “Spiderchain” protocol enables Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility, allowing applications like lending and staking directly on the network without wrapped assets or bridges.

Philippe Bekhazi, co-founder and CEO of XBTO, commented, “Institutional interest in Bitcoin continues to grow, but that growth depends on secure, decentralized infrastructure that can meet the standards of professional markets.” 

Bekhazi also noted XBTO’s commitment to supporting Botanix.

Founded in 2023, Botanix Labs developed the Spiderchain protocol and initiated Botanix. With the network now independently operated, the lab focuses on research, developer tools, and ecosystem support. Botanix enables developers to build financial applications while maintaining Bitcoin’s base layer integrity.

The network’s decentralized structure supports scalability and security for Bitcoin-related applications. As Botanix prepares for its mainnet launch, it aims to expand its federation and move toward further decentralization.

The full founding Botanix federation includes Botanix, Galaxy, Fireblocks, Alchemy, XBTO, Antpool, UTXO Management, Kiln, Chorus One, UndefinedXBlockPI, DAIC, Pier Two, Stakin, Vertex, Stake.fish, and Hashkey Cloud.

Bitcoin Magazine is wholly owned by BTC Inc., which operates UTXO Management, a regulated capital allocator focused on the digital assets industry. UTXO invests in a variety of Bitcoin businesses, and maintains significant holdings in digital assets.

This week, on The Stacker Sports Podcast, we will mourn the loss of episode 34, but we'll also probably talk about new sports stuff.

For example, the NBA Finals got off to an amazing start. My "top 5 Hali" take is looking less and less dumb. Do we really believe in the Pacers yet, though?

We might also start our NBA off-season speculation. Which big stars are on the move? Which good teams are making big changes?

I actually did watch some of the NHL Finals game, but I didn't stay up for the end. Why are these games on so late?

Aaron Rodgers finally has a team for next season and the Steelers finally have a QB for next season. Does this match make sense?

@grayruby also has some hopium to share about why the 49ers big offseason acquisition will be much better than he was last year, when he "played for" the Super Bowl champs.

The Rockies are still historically bad, but they're no longer on pace to catch the Cleveland Spiders for the MLB record.

There might also be some MLB trade talk.

And, of course, we'll recap the ~Stacker_Sports contests.

What else do you want to hear about, stackers?

อารมณ์ คือ โลก - โลก คือ อารมณ์ อารมณ์ ในโลกปัจจุบันรวมอยู่ที่ วัตถุนิยม อารมณ์ จึงเป็นปัจจัยแห่งเหตุการณ์ทุกอย่างในโลก

…. “ เดี๋ยวนี้คําว่า “อารมณ์” ในภาษาไทยนั้น หมายถึงความรู้สึกในใจมากกว่า; เช่น พื้นเพของจิตใจในขณะนั้นเป็นอย่างไร, เรียกว่าอารมณ์ของเขาเป็นอย่างไร, อารมณ์กําลังดี อารมณ์กําลังไม่ดี, นี่ คําว่าอารมณ์ในภาษาไทยใช้กันไปเสียอย่างนี้ ; มันคนละเรื่องกับในภาษาบาลี ซึ่งคําว่า “อารมณ์” หมายถึง สิ่งที่จะเข้ามากระทบ ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย ใจ.

…. ถ้ากระทบแล้วเกิดความรู้สึกอย่างไร งุ่นง่านอยู่ในใจ อันนั้นไม่ได้เรียกว่าอารมณ์; อันนั้นก็เรียกว่ากิเลสอย่างอื่น เช่น เรียกว่าตัณหาบ้าง อุปาทานบ้าง; ถ้าจัดเป็นพวกขันธ์ ก็เรียกว่า เวทนาขันธ์บ้าง สัญญาขันธ์บ้าง สังขารขันธ์บ้าง; ถ้าเป็นความคิดที่งุ่นง่านก็เรียกว่า “สังขารขันธ์” ทั้งนั้น ดังนั้น เราจะต้องถือเอาคําว่าอารมณ์ในบาลีมาเป็นหลัก …. คําว่า อารมณ์ ที่จะเข้าใจกันง่ายๆ ก็หมายความว่า รูป เสียง กลิ่น รส โผฏฐัพพะ ที่จะมากระทบ ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย นี้ ๕ อย่าง แล้วก็ความรู้สึกเก่าแก่ที่จะมาผุดขึ้นในใจอีก เรียกว่า ธัมมารมณ์ ที่จะมากระทบใจในปัจจุบันนี้ นี้ก็เป็นอันหนึ่ง เลยได้เป็นอารมณ์ ๖. อารมณ์กระทบ ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย ๕ อย่างข้างนอกนี้ก็สําคัญไปพวกหนึ่ง ที่ปรุงขึ้นภายในสําหรับกระทบใจโดยไม่ต้องอาศัย ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย ใจ เลย ในเวลานั้นก็ยังมีอยู่นี้เรียกว่าธัมมารมณ์ นี้ก็ยิ่งสําคัญ: แต่ว่ารวมกันแล้วก็เรียกว่า อารมณ์ ได้ด้วยกันทั้งนั้น แปลว่า สิ่งที่จะมากระทบกับ ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย ใจ นั่นเอง

…. นี้ ดูให้ละเอียดตามตัวหนังสือ คําว่า “อารมณ์” แปลว่า ที่หน่วงบ้าง แปลว่า ที่ยินดีบ้าง, มันมีความหมายละเอียดมาก. ถ้าถือเอาความหมายอย่างคนที่มีตัวตนเป็นหลัก ธรรมะในฝ่ายฮินดูหรือฝ่ายพรหมณ์เขาก็จะพูดว่า สําหรับจิตหรืออาตมันเข้าไปจับฉวยเอา. แต่ถ้าพูดอย่างภาษาชาวพุทธพูดอย่างนั้นไม่ได้ เพราะไม่มีจิตไม่มีอาตมันชนิดนั้น แล้วจิตนี้ก็เพิ่งเกิดขึ้นหลังอารมณ์กระทบแล้ว; เลยต้องพูดตามพระบาลีที่ว่า อาศัยตาด้วย อาศัยรูปด้วย ย่อมเกิดจักษุวิญญาณ; ตาอาศัยกับรูปคืออารมณ์นั้นได้แล้วจึงจะเกิดจักษุวิญญาณ วิญญาณหรือจิตนี้เกิดทีหลัง

…. ฉะนั้น จึงไม่พูดว่า อารมณ์นี้เป็นสิ่งสําหรับจิตหรือตัวตนเข้าไปจับฉวยยึดเอา; ถ้าพูดอย่างนั้นมันก็จะเป็นฮินดูหรือพราหมณ์ไป คือมีตัวตนไป. พูดอย่างพุทธไม่มีตัวตน ทุกอย่างไม่ใช่ตัวตน เป็นสักว่าธาตุ, ได้การปรุงแต่งที่เหมาะแล้วมันก็ปรุงแต่งเป็นสิ่งใหม่ขึ้นมา ในนั้นอาจจะมีความรู้สึกโง่ไปว่าเป็นตัวเราก็ได้

…. ฉะนั้น คําว่าอารมณ์ ถ้าถือตามหลักในทางพุทธศาสนา ก็แปลว่า สิ่งที่อาศัยกันกับจิต จะเรียกว่าเป็นที่หน่วงของจิตมันก็ยังได้: ถ้าเข้าใจผิดมันก็ผิดได้: เรียกว่าสิ่งที่อาศัยกับอายตนะ แล้วก็เกิดเป็นความรู้สึกเป็นจิตขึ้นมา จิตกําลังหน่วงสิ่งนั้นเป็นอารมณ์ก็ได้ แต่จะให้เป็นตัวตนนั้นไม่ได้

…. โดยพยัญชนะก็มีอยู่อย่างนี้ ตัวพยัญชนะก็ยังกํากวม อารมฺมณํ หรือที่มาจาก อาลมฺพนํ ก็แปลว่า ที่หน่วงของจิต. ถ้าจะถือว่ามาจาก รม ที่แปลว่า ยินดี ก็แปลว่า มันเป็นสิ่งที่หลงใหลยินดีของจิต อย่างนี้ก็ยังได้อีก

…. แต่ขอให้รู้จักจากภายในดีกว่าที่จะมารู้จักจากตัวหนังสือ เมื่อตากระทบรูป เมื่อหูกระทบเสียง เป็นต้น มันเกิดขึ้นในใจ, แล้วสังเกตเอาที่นั่นก็แล้วกัน ว่ารูปที่มากระทบตานั้นมันคืออะไร? เสียงที่มากระทบหูนั้นมันคืออะไร? จะค่อยเข้าใจแจ่มแจ้งขึ้นทีละน้อยๆ ว่าอารมณ์นั้นคืออะไร? แต่ให้เข้าใจไว้ทีหนึ่งก่อนว่าสิ่งที่เรียกว่าอารมณ์ๆที่มากระทบนี้ มันยังไม่ดีไม่ชั่ว ยังไม่จัดเป็นสิ่งดีสิ่งชั่ว มันต้องผสมปรุงแต่งเป็นความคิดอย่างนั้นอย่างนี้เสียก่อน จึงจะจัดเป็นดีเป็นชั่ว อารมณ์ล้วนๆยังไม่ดีไม่ชั่ว จะได้รู้จักป้องกัน อย่าให้เป็นไปในทางชั่ว, ให้เป็นไปแต่ในทางดีได้ตามปรารถนา

…. นี้เรียกว่าโดยพยัญชนะ โดยตัวหนังสือ คําว่า “อารมณ์” แปลว่า เป็นที่ยินดีแห่งจิต, เป็นที่ยึดหน่วงแห่งจิต; โดยเฉพาะภาษาอภิธรรมแล้วก็ใช้คําว่า “เป็นที่หน่วงเอาของจิต”, คือจิตย่อมหน่วงสิ่งใดสิ่งหนึ่งเป็นอารมณ์ แปลคําว่าอารมณ์บ้าง, อาลัมพนะ แปลว่า เป็นที่หน่วงเอา.

…. เดี๋ยวนี้เราเรียนพุทธศาสนาไม่ใช่เรามาเรียนหนังสือบาลี, เราจะเรียนพระธรรมคําสอนของพระพุทธเจ้า เราก็ต้องดูสิ่งที่เรียกว่าอารมณ์ โดยหลักของธรรมชาติที่ปรุงแต่งกันอยู่ในใจดีกว่า; ก็อย่างพระบาลีที่ได้ว่ามาแล้วข้างต้นว่า จกฺขุญฺจ ปฏิจฺจ รูเป จ อุปฺปชฺชติ จกฺขุวิญฺญาณํ = เพราะอาศัยตาด้วย รูปด้วย ย่อมบังเกิดจักษุวิญญาณ ติณฺณํ ธมฺมานํ สงฺคติ ผสฺโส - การประจวบกันของ ๓ สิ่งนี้เรียกว่า “ผัสสะ”, ผสฺสปจฺจยา เวทนา = เพราะผัสสะเป็นปัจจัยจึงเกิดเวทนา, อย่างนี้เรื่อยไปจนเกิดทุกข์ จนเกิดความทุกข์, นี้เรียกว่าโดยธรรมชาติ

…. สิ่งที่เรียกว่าอารมณ์มีอยู่โดยธรรมชาติที่จะเข้ามาอาศัยกันกับตาข้างใน ที่มีอยู่ในตัวคน. แล้วจะเกิดจักษุวิญญาณ เป็นต้น ขึ้นในตัวคน; จะเกิด ผัสสะ เวทนา ตัณหา อุปาทาน ภพ ชาติ ขึ้นในตัวคน; นี้โดยธรรมชาติ พระพุทธเจ้าท่านบันดาลอะไรไม่ได้ : ธรรมชาติเป็นอยู่อย่างนี้ แต่ท่านรู้เรื่องนี้ท่านจึงนํามาสอนว่า ธรรมชาติมันมีอยู่อย่างนี้ เราจะต้องเข้าใจให้ถูกต้อง โดยที่จะป้องกันความทุกข์ไม่ให้เกิดขึ้นมาได้, หรือถ้าเกิดขึ้นมาได้ก็จะดับเสียได้

…. เราควรจะรู้จักอารมณ์ในฐานะที่เป็นธรรมชาติอันหนึ่ง ที่มีอยู่ตามธรรมชาติ แล้วที่จะเข้ามาทําเรื่องทําราวขึ้นในจิตใจของคนเราให้เกิดปัญหายุ่งยากนี้ให้ดีๆ นี้เรียกว่ารู้จักอารมณ์จากธรรมชาติโดยตรงอย่างนี้ ดีกว่าที่จะรู้จักตามตัวหนังสือ, ดีกว่าที่จะรู้จักตามคําบอกเล่าบางอย่างบางประการที่มันไม่มีประโยชน์อะไร. รู้จักตามคําบอกเล่าก็รู้จักตามที่พระพุทธเจ้าท่านตรัสดีกว่า แต่แล้วยังไม่รู้จักตัวจริง จนกว่าจะมารู้จักจากที่เมื่ออารมณ์มากระทบตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย ใจ เข้าจริงๆ : นั่นจึงจะรู้จักอารมณ์ รู้จักผลที่เกิดขึ้นจากการกระทบของอารมณ์, รู้จักต่อไปตามลําดับ จนแก้ปัญหาต่างๆ ได้

…. นี่ ขอร้องให้รู้จักสิ่งที่เรียกว่า อารมณ์ ในฐานะที่เป็นธรรมชาติอันหนึ่ง ที่มีอยู่ตามธรรมชาติ ที่จะเข้ามากระทบอายตนะภายใน คือ กระทบ ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย ใจ แล้วมีเรื่องมีราวมีปัญหา

อารมณ์ คือ โลก - โลก คือ อารมณ์ …. “ ที่นี้จะให้ดูต่อไปอีก ว่าโดยข้อเท็จจริงที่เป็นอยู่แล้ว อารมณ์นั้นคืออะไร? ถ้าจะพูดโดยข้อเท็จจริงหรือตามสถานการณ์ที่เป็นอยู่จริงในชีวิตของคนเรา อารมณ์มันก็คือ “โลก” นั่นเอง. เดี๋ยวนี้เราไม่รู้จักโลกในฐานะอย่างนี้, เราไปเข้าใจความหมายของคําว่าโลกแคบไปบ้าง หรือว่าเขวไปบ้าง.

…. ถ้าจะรู้ตามหลักพระพุทธศาสนาแล้ว โลกทั้งหมดก็คือสิ่งที่จะมาปรากฏแก่ ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย ใจ ของเรา, เรามีเพียง ๖ อย่าง, แล้วมันก็ ปรากฏได้เพียง ๖ ทาง, มากกว่านั้นมันปรากฏไม่ได้ ดังนั้น โลกก็คือสิ่งที่จะมาปรากฏแก่ ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย ใจ ๖ อย่างของเรา. “โลก” ก็คือ รูป เสียง กลิ่น รส โผฏฐัพพะ ธัมมารมณ์ ๖ ประการเท่านั้น, ไม่มีอะไรมากไปกว่านั้น

…. ฉะนั้น รูป เสียง กลิ่น รส โผฏฐัพพะ ธัมมารมณ์ แต่ละอย่าง ๆ ก็คือ โลกในแต่ละแง่ละมุม นั่นเอง, ที่เป็น รูป เสียง กลิ่น รส โผฏฐัพพะ ก็อยู่ข้างนอก จะเรียกว่าอยู่ข้างนอกก็ได้, ที่เป็นอารมณ์เกิดขึ้นในใจ ปรุงขึ้นในใจก็เรียกว่าโลกข้างในก็ได้ แต่มันก็เป็นโลกอยู่นั่นแหละ เพราะมันเป็นสิ่งที่จิตจะต้องรู้สึก จิตรู้สึกก็เรียกว่าโลกสําหรับจิต ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย รู้สึก ก็เรียกว่าโลกสำหรับ ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย. นี้ขอให้มองให้เห็นชัดตามพระพุทธประสงค์ว่า โลก ก็คือ อารมณ์, อารมณ์ ก็คือ โลก.

…. แต่ทีนี้ พระพุทธเจ้าท่านมองลึกกว่านั้น ท่านตรัสถึงข้อที่ว่า ถ้ามันมาเกิดเป็นปัญหาแก่เราเมื่อไรจึงจะเรียกว่า “มันมี” พอมันมาเป็นปัญหาแก่เราเมื่อไรก็เรียกว่า “เป็นทุกข์”; เพราะว่าเราได้ไปจับฉวยยึดถือเอาตามประสาตามวิสัยของคนที่ไม่รู้จักโลก ถ้าพูดว่าไม่รู้จักโลกแล้วคนก็มักจะไม่ยอมรับ เพราะว่าเขาจะพูดว่าเขารู้จักโลกดี. ยิ่งพวกฝรั่งสมัยนี้ นักวิทยาศาสตร์ปราดเปรื่องนั้น เขาจะไม่ยอมรับว่าเขาไม่รู้จักโลก. แต่ถ้าพูดตามหลักพุทธศาสนาแล้วก็จะพูดได้ว่ายังไม่รู้จักโลกเลย เป็นคนตาบอดยิ่งกว่าตาบอด; เพราะว่าฝรั่งเหล่านั้นรู้จักโลกแต่ในแง่สําหรับจะยึดมั่นถือมั่นเป็น “ตัวกู ของกู” จะครองโลกจะอะไร เอาประโยชน์ทุกอย่าง; เขารู้จักโลกในแง่นี้ อย่างนี้พุทธบริษัทไม่เรียกว่า “รู้จักโลก”; แต่ถือว่าเป็นคนตาบอดต่อโลก, หลงยึดมั่นถือมั่นในโลก. เพราะว่าคนเหล่านั้นไม่รู้จักโลกโดยความเป็นอารมณ์ ๖ ประการ คือ รูป เสียง กลิ่นรส โผฏฐัพพะ ธัมมารมณ์, แล้วเป็น “มายา” คือ เอาจริงไม่ได้ เป็นของชั่วคราวๆ หลอกให้เกิดความรู้สึกยึดมั่นถือมั่น

…. นี้เรารู้จัก เราไม่ไปหลงยึดมั่นถือมั่นกับมัน นี้จึงเรียกว่า “คนที่รู้จักโลก” ไปตามหลักของพุทธศาสนา, ฉะนั้น จึงไม่ยึดมั่นถือมั่นสิ่งใดโดยความเป็นตัวตน หรือโดยความเป็นของตน, เรียกว่าเป็นผู้รู้จักอารมณ์ ๖ ประการนั้นก็คือรู้จักโลกทั้งปวง, แล้วก็ไม่หลงไปในโลกในแง่ใดแง่หนึ่ง นี้เรียกว่า อารมณ์ ก็คือ โลก นั่นเอง ในความหมายที่ลึกที่สุดของพระพุทธสาสนา ไม่ใช่โลกก้อนดิน, ไม่ใช่โลกก้อนกลมๆ นี้. แต่มันหมายถึงคุณค่าอะไรที่มันมีอยู่ในโลกกลมๆ นี้ ที่จะเข้ามามาทําให้เกิดปัญหา ที่ตา ที่หู ที่จมูก ที่ลิ้น ที่กาย ที่ใจ ของคน. นั่นแหละคือตัวร้ายกาจของสิ่งที่เรียกว่า โลก เราจะต้องรู้จักในส่วนนี้ให้เพียงพอ

อารมณ์ในโลกปัจจุบันมารวมที่วัตถุนิยม …. ทีนี้ ดูอีกแง่หนึ่งก็โดยปัญหาที่กําลังมีอยู่ อารมณ์ในโลกนี้ในฐานะที่มันเป็นตัวปัญหาที่กําลังมีอยู่ มันมารวมอยู่ที่คําว่า “วัตถุนิยม”: หมายความว่า ตา หู จมูก ลิ้น กาย ใจ นี้ มันเป็นฝ่ายชนะ ไปหลงใหลในอารมณ์ รูป เสียง กลิ่น รส โผฏฐัพพะ ฯลฯ, แล้วก็เกิดนิยมหลงใหลในวัตถุเหล่านั้น จนเกิดความคิดใหม่ๆ, ปรุงแต่งไปในทางที่จะให้หลงใหลในโลกยิ่งขึ้นๆ, ความเจริญก้าวหน้า ในโลกสมัยนี้เป็นไปแต่ในทางอย่างนี้ ฉะนั้น จึงไกลความสงบ, ไกลสันติภาพ ไกลอะไรออกไปทุกที. การที่มนุษย์ที่มีปัญญาในโลกสมัยนี้ โดยเฉพาะฝรั่งที่ก้าวหน้านั้นเขาก็จัดโลกไปแต่ในแง่ของวัตถุมากขึ้นๆ: มันก็ไกลจากสันติภาพ ไกลจากความสงบสุขยิ่งขึ้นทุกที

…. ความสะดวกสบายที่ทําให้เกิดขึ้นมาได้นั้น ไม่ได้ช่วยส่งเสริมเกิดสันติภาพ; แต่มันช่วยให้เกิดความหลงในโลกนั้นเองมากขึ้น แล้วก็ช่วยให้หลงใหลใน “ตัวกู ของกู”, ยึดมั่นถือมั่นเห็นแก่ตัวมากขึ้น รวมกันแล้วมันไม่มีทางที่จะเกิดสันติภาพหรือสันติสุขในโลกได้เลย, จึงกลายเป็นความหลอกลวงเหลือประมาณ โลกจึงกลายเป็นความหลอกลวง, หรือสิ่งที่หลอกลวงเหลือประมาณใน เวลานี้ เราเรียกกันว่า ติดบ่วง หรือว่า ติดเหยื่อของวัตถุนิยม. คําพูดทั้งหมดนี้ ล้วนแต่เป็นการแสดงให้เห็นว่า อารมณ์นี้คืออะไร สิ่งที่เรียกว่าอารมณ์นั้น คือตัวโลกที่กําลังหลอกลวงเราอยู่ทุกวันอย่างยิ่ง โดยเฉพาะในปัจจุบันนี้เป็นวัตถุนิยม นี้คืออารมณ์”

พุทธทาสภิกขุ ที่มา : ธรรมบรรยายภาคมาฆบูชา ครั้งที่ ๗ หัวข้อเรื่อง “อารมณ์ คือ ปัจจัยแห่งเหตุการณ์ทุกอย่างในโลก” เมื่อวันที่ ๑๖ กุมภาพันธ์ ๒๕๑๗ จากหนังสือชุดธรรมโฆษณ์ เล่มชื่อว่า “ก ข ก กา ของการศึกษาพุทธศาสนา”

Bitcoin, with its precisely engineered monetary policy, presents a compelling alternative to traditional financial systems. Beyond its technological innovation, its design reveals a potential blueprint for a future where global economies might operate on a fixed, sound money standard, free from the inflationary policies that have long characterized fiat currencies.

A core tenet of Bitcoin's appeal lies in its unwavering scarcity. By early 2030, an estimated over 90% of its total 21 million coins will have been mined and released into circulation. This immutable supply cap, hard-coded into its protocol, provides a stark contrast to national currencies whose supplies can be expanded at will by central banks. While the very last fractions of Bitcoin will be mined around 2140, the effective supply is established far sooner.

Key to Bitcoin's functionality at scale is its remarkable divisibility. Each Bitcoin is broken down into 100 million smaller units called "satoshis." This granular structure ensures that even if a single Bitcoin were to achieve a multi-million dollar valuation, the humble satoshi would remain a practical and relatable unit for everyday transactions, much like a cent in everyday commerce.

Consider the transformative implications of two hypothetical Bitcoin price points:

• The $1.1 Million Bitcoin: A New Standard for the USD. If Bitcoin's current circulating supply were to absorb the entirety of the US M2 money supply—approximately $21.86 trillion as of April 2025—the price of one Bitcoin would reach roughly $1.1 million. At this valuation, a single satoshi would equate to about 1.1 cents. This scenario suggests Bitcoin's market capitalization directly challenging, and potentially replacing or serving as a hard peg for, the broad US dollar supply. Such a shift would fundamentally constrain the ability of the Federal Reserve to engage in inflationary practices.

• The $5.3 Million Bitcoin: The Backbone of World GDP. Pushing the hypothetical further, if Bitcoin's market cap were to cover the entire world's nominal Gross Domestic Product—valued at $106.172 trillion for 2023—the price of one Bitcoin would soar to an estimated $5.3 million.

These figures underscore a powerful, almost poetic, vision for Bitcoin's role in the global economy. The striking numerical coincidences—the 21 million coin cap, the potential for a $21 trillion market cap (roughly aligning with M2), and the corresponding satoshi-to-cent parity—suggest a profound foresight in Satoshi Nakamoto's original design. This design, proponents argue, aims to facilitate a future where the global economy operates on a sound money standard, liberated from what some describe as the "nasty inflation tricks" employed by central banks to devalue currencies.

Crucially, this shift would present significant challenges, particularly for larger economies perceived as "artificially inflated" by years of expansionary monetary policies. These nations, accustomed to managing economic cycles through money printing and debt monetization, would face:

• Loss of Monetary Sovereignty: The inability to inflate their way out of debt or stimulate the economy through currency debasement.
• Forced Fiscal Discipline: Governments would be compelled to balance budgets through taxation or genuine borrowing, abandoning reliance on the printing press.
• Deflationary Pressures: A fixed money supply in a growing economy could lead to an increase in purchasing power over time (deflation), making existing debts harder to service in real terms.

To illustrate this profound re-allocation of global value, consider how current national GDPs would theoretically translate into Bitcoin holdings in such a scenario, assuming the entire world's economic output was denominated in the existing Bitcoin supply:

Hypothetical Bitcoin Allocation by Country (World GDP Covered)

(Assumes World GDP ~$106.172 Trillion USD, Bitcoin Circulating Supply ~19.87 Million BTC, leading to ~$5,343,834.93 per BTC)

| Country | 2023 Nominal GDP (in Billions USD) | % of World GDP (approx.) | Equivalent Bitcoin Amount (in BTC) | | :------------------ | :--------------------------------- | :----------------------- | :--------------------------------- | | Major Economies | | | | | United States | $27,970 | 26.34% | 5,234,000 | | China | $17,650 | 16.62% | 3,303,000 | | Germany | $4,460 | 4.20% | 835,000 | | Japan | $4,290 | 4.04% | 803,000 | | India | $3,730 | 3.51% | 698,000 | | United Kingdom | $3,330 | 3.14% | 623,000 | | France | $3,050 | 2.87% | 571,000 | | Italy | $2,190 | 2.06% | 410,000 | | Brazil | $2,170 | 2.04% | 406,000 | | Canada | $2,120 | 1.99% | 397,000 | | Emerging Markets & Smaller Economies | | | | | Saudi Arabia | $1,070 | 1.01% | 200,000 | | Poland | $810 | 0.76% | 152,000 | | Switzerland | $885 | 0.83% | 166,000 | | Sweden | $585 | 0.55% | 109,000 | | Nigeria | $363 | 0.34% | 68,000 | | Egypt | $396 | 0.37% | 74,000 | | South Africa | $381 | 0.36% | 71,000 | | Argentina | $646 | 0.61% | 121,000 | | Vietnam | $430 | 0.40% | 80,000 | | Colombia | $364 | 0.34% | 68,000 | | Malaysia | $400 | 0.38% | 75,000 | | Philippines | $437 | 0.41% | 82,000 | | New Zealand | $253 | 0.24% | 47,000 | | Denmark | $404 | 0.38% | 75,000 |

(Source for 2023 Nominal GDP data: International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Economic Outlook Database, October 2023 & various country-specific sources for confirmation.)

This table vividly demonstrates how a Bitcoin-backed global economy would concentrate immense value into relatively small amounts of Bitcoin. For instance, the United States, representing over a quarter of global GDP, would account for just over 5 million of the total 19.87 million Bitcoins in this theoretical future. This underscores the transformative potential of such a shift, forcing nations—especially those accustomed to expansive fiscal policies—to adapt to a new era of immutable monetary constraints.

While Bitcoin's supply schedule marches steadily towards its fixed limit, its adoption by individuals, businesses, and governments worldwide is a separate journey. Currently, global cryptocurrency ownership is estimated at around 6.8% of the world population, placing Bitcoin firmly in the early stages of the "Diffusion of Innovations" S-curve. However, the inherent scarcity created by Bitcoin's pre-programmed supply is precisely what many believe will drive its value higher as global adoption continues to accelerate in the decades to come.

Ultimately, Bitcoin is more than just a digital asset; it embodies a potential revolution in how money functions globally, offering a path towards a fundamentally transparent, predictable, and finite monetary system that could reshape the very foundations of capitalism.

We are all used to the professional self 💼. The aspect of us who is an expert on a particular technology, process, method or task. It is easy to talk about it at work with our workmates, as a team and with our leaders. Based on it, we have new things to learn and roles to explore. We have a defined career path and responsibilities to take as we advance on it. We define goals for each year related to our roles and review at the end what we have accomplished.

\ But things have changed lately.

In the recent years, new generations came at work with a new view of it and a new set of priorities, along with recent Worldwide events. Both acted as forces that are challenging us to transform everything. I like to call these times, VIOLET times 💜... because Violet is the color of change and transformation.

In my adventure for the corporate world, I was lucky to be exposure to these drivers of change long before most of the worldwide workforce did it.

As a leader, I worked with new generations from different countries. No matter from which part of the world they came, they had some aspects (or missions as I like to say) in common. Astrology has helped me to understand the patterns and archetypes of them.

New generations bring a new way of seeing life style. And this is as equal as important as work is. Work is not on their top priority as previous generations. Because of that reason they come to work bringing some personal aspects into workplaces.

They expect mindful connections at work 🫂, that is why they are willing to explore more personal connections with teams and leaders. They value their time after work, so they more likely work towards objectives than working shifts. They want to understand the bigger and mindful impact of what they do.

The personal self started to appeared at workplaces with these new generations.

How to work from home is something I started learning more than 10 yrs ago when I started working for a worldwide tech company based in Argentina. One of the first things I had to learn was how to connect and engage with people that I only knew by chat or by listening to their voice in a conference call. There wasn't video back then in 2010.

I started to develop a new skill at listening and paying attention to their voice. Most of us were speaking a second language, so by listening carefully I could recognize who was speaking (since there wasn't video). And I also could understand their mood and feeling by the tone of their voice.

I was able to develop another skill, asking questions about their personal life. By doing that our personal self started to emerge and our connections were getting more stronger. By having stronger connections with your team, moments of stress and pressure are easier to navigate.

It was back then when I started to understand the importance of bringing your whole self at work, the professional and the personal one 💼 💚

By the increasing number of teams working from home, we can start seeing a this new self coming out worldwide now. Before these violet times, we barely knew different aspects of the personal self of our workmates. All those aspects of us that we usually don't bring at work.

Some examples of those aspects I refer about are: how your workmate's house looks like, how he/she liked to decor it, what is their favorite color, what their routines are, what they eat and what they cook. What is their family's routine, who they live with (if any), how their family looks like. What time their kids get out of school, what time their wife or husband come back from work, how frequently they see their parents, how much help they need and where they live.

We didn't know much about our colleagues beyond their professional self. We barely knew if our colleagues were going through challenging and difficult times.

That was usually something we used to talk to a friend at work, but not with a workmate or a leader. Neither our team was aware of it.

Even for those a few teams that were used to work from home way before than most of the planet, the challenging times of recent years, brought a different component at work, it invited us to connect emotionally with the people we work with. A lot of new aspects of your personal life started to emerge at work, because people started working unexpectedly from home. Even emotions were emerging since everyone was stressful and emotionally overwhelmed.

As we open up our personal self at work, then it comes with our emotions 💚. We are emotional beings, and although we have removed that aspect of our being at work, it is hard to keep it out when you are coming up at work as a whole self.

I invite you to this CREATIVE COACHING TIME 💛🧡 section, so please take a pen and a paper and start to write your own story of this post:

🌱 How easy is it for you to express and talk about your emotions at work?

🌱 How easy is it to share what is going on in your personal life?

🌱 How ready is your workforce'92s environment to embrace the personal self of your employees?

🌱 How safe is it in your current cultural environment to bring emotions at work?\ \ Wherever you are, that represents how close or how far is your team, organization and company on embracing the whole employee.

The meaning of the colors 🌈 will help us to navigate aspects of your personal and professional life, and it will inspire you to create safe and comfortable spaces to be a whole being at work.

In order to do that I will invite your left and right side of your brain to get integrated. We won't be successful on embracing the whole employee, if you think you are either rational 🧠 or intuitive 💚.

\ All of us has a left and right side of the brain 🧠. As you probably know, our left side of the brain is related to our rational, logic and sequential thinking, it is good at math and facts.

On the other hand, our right side of the brain is related to imagination, intuition, holistic thinking, visualization and rhythm.💚.

We think in words with our left side of the brain, we do with images with our right one.

Although you might feel that you have explored more capabilities of your right or your left side than the other, you have them both. So either if you feel you are more left brained in the way you approach life, you still have your right side and vice versa. The brain is a muscle, it just takes time and practice to create new brain connections and use it as its full potential.

Creating spaces to embrace your whole self at work, will include embracing the capabilities of our left and right side of the brain. And that will ultimate spark one of the most valuable skill of the future, creativity and our capability to adapt to change.

Neuroscience has found recently that creativity is not associated with the right side of the brain only, it uses three networks that require both sides. 🧠🎨💚

If you think about these recent VIOLET times, how frequently did you and your team have to create unprecedented solutions for unprecedented challenges? No one in the future will be able to stay in any profession or role without creativity and our capability to adapt to change, as it is becoming the skill of the future.

I truly believe that the unprecedented challenges we are experiencing will require unprecedented solutions. Rational views only won't be enough. If we really want to find new solutions, we will need both, our rational and intuitive/visual sides of the brain teaming.

Before we end this foundational stone blog, a new CREATIVE COACHING TIME starts, your turn now:

🌱 Can you list the aspect of yourself at work?

🌱 Can you list the aspect of yourself at home?

🌱 What are the differences of both lists? 🌱 Why?

🌱 How whole are you coming to work these days?

🌱 How whole would you like to be at work in the future?

Cultural changes at teams, organizations and companies levels, starts at an individual level.

If you would like to create a culture that embrace a whole self, start with you.

Laus 💛

When people talk about Bitcoin, it’s often described as a digital currency or a “speculative investment.” However, one of Bitcoin’s most fundamental and least understood roles is its function as a settlement network. To understand this, it’s worth comparing it with traditional settlement systems like SWIFT and exploring how Bitcoin offers a foundational layer for global value transfer decentralized and censorship-resistant.

First, let’s explain the difference between liquidity and settlement:

• Liquidity refers to the ease with which an asset can be converted into “money” without losing value.

• Settlement is the process of completing a transaction (actual transfer of value between parties).

SWIFT: The communication layer of the traditional financial system

The SWIFT system (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) is a network for communication between banks. It doesn’t move money directly but sends standardized messages that instruct financial institutions to perform transfers. The process involves multiple intermediaries, is costly, slow (can take days), and depends on trust between parties and local regulations.

Unlike SWIFT, Bitcoin is a self-sufficient network that enables the direct settlement of value between two parties, without the need for intermediaries. With each block mined, transactions are validated and recorded immutably in a global, transparent, and secure database: the timechain or "blockchain".

01 - Final settlement: Once a transaction is confirmed by a sufficient number of blocks, it is considered final and irreversible.

02 - Censorship resistance: There is no central entity that can block or reverse a valid transaction.

03 - Global availability: The network is accessible 24/7 anywhere in the world with internet access.

Just as gold once served as the foundation of monetary systems, Bitcoin is establishing itself as a base layer of digital value. This layer can support others, such as:

01 - The Lightning Network, which enables near-instant transactions with extremely low fees;

02 - Tokenized financial services, which can use Bitcoin as collateral or for inter-institutional settlement.

By functioning as a public and neutral settlement network, Bitcoin offers an alternative to the traditional system, which is fragmented, closed, and reliant on trust between institutions.

In summary, more than just a speculative asset, Bitcoin is emerging as a global financial infrastructure. As a settlement network, it removes intermediaries, reduces costs, increases security, and democratizes access to value transfer. In an increasingly interconnected and digital world, understanding Bitcoin’s role as a base layer may be key to understanding the future of money.

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

Have you ever stopped to think how retarded our monetary system is? If the U.S. is the most powerful nation on earth, has the biggest gold reserves, and has the monopoly over the global reserve currency... Why the fuck are they still 34 trillion in debt? One reporter finally asked this important question to the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisors (whatever that means): Jared Bernstein.

> JB: They, they, um, they, yeah, they, they, um, they sell bonds. Yeah, they sell bonds, right? Since they sell bonds and people buy the bonds and lend them the money. Yeah, so, yeah, I guess I'm just, I don't, I can't really talk. I don't, I don't get it. I don't know what they're talking about.

BANKSTERS DON'T WANT US TO KNOW HOW THIS MECHANISM WORKS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT IF WE KNOW, WE ARE GOING TO GET MAD. NOT EVEN POLITICIANS AND HIGH-RANKED OFFICIALS UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM ABOUT TO EXPLAIN.

THE CORRECT QUESTION TO ASK IS: IF THE U.S. PRINTS DOLLARS, WHY DOES IT HAVE SUCH A BIG DEBT? IF YOU HAD THIS QUESTION BEFORE: GOOD FOR YOU!

THE ANSWER IS: The U.S. has debt because every Federal Reserve Note, a.k.a. FRN ("DOLLAR"), that the Federal Reserve prints is a NOTE that the government owes plus interest. The FRNs are debt instruments! How is this possible? You may ask... Who do they owe this debt to? "The government does not print "dollars" out of thin air."

The government prints bonds (debt) out of thin air, and the Federal Reserve buys these bonds, printing FRNs out of thin air. And that is how "dollars" come into existence. This doesn't make sense, right? Thomas Edison thought the same when he said:

> “If the government can issue bonds, it can issue currency. Both are promises to pay, but one promise fattens the usurer and the other helps the people.”

New York Times, 6 de diciembre de 1921The U.S. could print its own debt-free, non-interest-bearing Treasury notes. Like Lincoln printed the Greenbacks to finance the Civil War, Kennedy issued treasury notes with E.O. 11110. What's the difference between a United States note and a Federal Reserve note?

ONE PROMISE FATTENS THE USURER, AND THE OTHER HELPS THE PEOPLE.

The truth is the Federal Reserve took over the U.S. government in 1933 when it declared bankruptcy and the power was passed to its creditors: the Federal Reserve. This institution artificially inflated and contracted the currency supply to create the Great Depression (1929) and finally bankrupted the U.S. government in 1933. They forced the Gold Standard Act in the 1900s, and then they officially took the U.S. out of it in 1934. This bank stole the gold of the American people, and then they stole the gold of other nations in 1971!!!

I want to clarify that I am not making this up, but I am standing on the shoulders of giants like Alfred Owen Crozier (1863-1939). This legend was lobbying against the Federal Reserve Act in 1912, and he wrote the book U.S. Money vs. Corporate Currency, where he documented the intent of this private group of banksters to create a private central bank that would counterfeit currency and take over the republic, bankrupting it. He literally predicted the Great Depression. His worst nightmares turned into a reality. Here you have my top 3 books from him:

Most recently, another legendary character that did a monumental work in dismantling this giant fraud was Thomas Schauf (1949). He lived years out of his savings to prove this giant fraud to the American people. He is a certified CPA who became a full-time lecturer on “money and debt” after the 1987 crash. He dismantled the Federal Reserve cartel, and he also explains the fraud of the commercial bank's credit creation process using the Federal Reserve's own publications.

Both Alfred and Thomas prove that the Federal Reserve is an unconstitutional private central bank that took the power to coin currency from the government, unlawfully transferring that sovereignty to private corporations. Crozier provided the original historical record, and Thomas provided the insider accounting documentation.

1. Introduced the term “corporate currency” to flag that the new notes would be liabilities of a private cartel, not of the U.S. Treasury.

2. Warned about the non gold redeem-ability of this private paper: any emergency suspension of specie payments would convert the notes into a floating, unbacked claim—“irredeemable except in more paper.”

3. National bankruptcy forecast: once Treasury debt became the key collateral behind private notes, taxpayers would shoulder every panic, culminating in “the insolvency of the Republic.”

THOMAS SCHAUF UNIQUE CONTRIBUTIONS

1. FOIA stock-subscription ledgers (1991): first public list of the individual banks and share counts that capitalized each of the 12 Reserve Banks.

2. Annotated FRB H-4-1 balance sheets (weekly releases): line-by-line notes showing how “Federal Reserve Notes outstanding” are booked as a liability to member banks, not to the public.

3. Discount-window flow charts: traced how reserves created in New York are pyramided 30-to-1 in downstream banks, then recycled into Treasuries.

4. Internal circulars on surplus rebates: revealed the dividend formula (6 % to stock-holding banks) and the legally mandated tax exemption on that income.

Thomas Schauf is the researcher who turned the Federal Reserve’s own accounting records into hard evidence of private ownership and systemic leverage.

The Federal Reserve is the biggest fraud in human history and the most profitable business on earth: it prints currency out of thin air, and it lends it to the government at interest, buying treasury bills. For every FRN they print at no cost they earn $1 plus interest.

NEW YORK FEDERAL RESERVE OWNERS

• Chase Manhattan Bank N.A.  • Citibank N.A.  • Morgan Guaranty Trust  • Chemical Bank  • Bankers Trust Co.  • Manufacturers Hanover 

HOW CAN AMERICA END THIS FRAUD?

Alfred Owen Crozier, Thomas Schauf, and I will agree on the same solution: Convert existing Federal Reserve notes into U.S. notes on a one-for-one basis. This will automatically end the interest on the U.S. debt: THE BIGGEST U.S GOVERNMENT LIABILITY.

You cannot fix the deficit if you don't nationalize the Federal Reserve Inc and replace every interest-bearing Federal Reserve Note with a non-interest-bearing U.S. Note.

YOU CAN LITERALLY ELIMINATE THE U.S. PUBLIC DEBT BY ISSUING AN EXECUTIVE ORDER REPLACING FRNs FOR U.S notes. Then force private banks to lend only their own capital or time deposits, ending the credit-creation privilege and the boom and bust cycle.

Ron Paul will also agree with this. Every person that understands the monetary system will agree with this.

All freedom-loving Americans who believe in the Revolutionary War, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights need to join their efforts to fight this corrupt system, abolish the federal system, the national debt, and most of the taxes, and re-establish an honest monetary system.

The American population needs to understand the truth and why they fought the Revolutionary War: FOR THIS SAME REASON! WAKE UP, AMERICA!

This cannot be fixed with Bitcoin TODAY, but probably in the coming decades. But in the meantime it can be done with Treasury notes. This needs to be done if you want to avoid hyperinflation and a state of emergency, martial law, and total disaster.

Time is running out and you need to take action fast. Interest rates are eating up all the revenue of the government and your tax money is going into an unpayable black hole for this very reason.

Americans have two choices: stay and fight or escape before disaster strikes. And no, I am not being extremist, it is a sad reality. Read this books, study this and talk about this with all you fellow Americans.

This is the most important issue you should be discussing about.

Unmasking the Narrative: Why the "Damaged Autist" Myth Persists – A Critical Look at Perception and Bias in Society

In an era increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence and the vast datasets it learns from, a critical question emerges: how accurately does AI reflect and, in turn, perpetuate societal narratives, particularly those surrounding neurological diversity and human experience? Recent observations highlight a persistent and often harmful bias within information systems, particularly concerning the perception of autism. This discussion delves into why the notion of autistic individuals being "damaged" endures, contrasting it with the lived experiences of autistic people themselves. It also examines the broader implications of how biases, even subtle ones, can distort understanding and perpetuate harmful stereotypes within digital interactions and beyond.

---

Autism as a Different Operating System

The prevalent narrative often portrays autistic individuals as inherently "damaged," a perspective sharply contested by autistic people themselves. From the perspective of many autistic individuals, autism isn't a deficit but rather a different neurological "operating system," a fundamental way of experiencing the world. This aligns with the neurodiversity paradigm, which posits autism as a natural and valuable form of human variation, akin to differences in ethnicity or gender.

Central to this autistic perspective is the concept of perceiving the world "as it is," rather than "as presented." Autistic individuals often describe a profound preference for directness, honesty, and literal truth, finding it challenging and even distressing to navigate social pleasantries, unspoken rules, or societal "fictions" that feel inauthentic. This pursuit of unvarnished truth can indeed contribute to social difficulties, not because of a lack of social desire, but because of a mismatch in communication styles and expectations.

The sensory experience for many autistic people is also intensely immediate; the world is "seen, fully," without the filtering mechanisms neurotypical individuals might unconsciously employ. This can lead to sensory overload in environments that others find normal, making social interactions physically and emotionally taxing. Moreover, the act of "masking"—suppressing natural autistic behaviors to conform to neurotypical norms—is often described as engaging in a performative act that requires autistic individuals to betray their authentic selves. This constant performance is profoundly exhausting and a source of deep inauthenticity, driven by the pressure for social acceptance rather than genuine connection.

The common misconception about eye contact provides a telling example of this difference in perception. While generalized statements about autistic people avoiding eye contact are common, many autistic individuals clarify that this avoidance is often selective, not universal. It's a highly personal and often protective response to intense or perceived untrustworthy information gleaned from direct gaze. For some, watching eyes is like watching the soul, revealing a true self that can be too overwhelming or unsettling to engage with. It is a conscious choice to disengage from an intensity or a perceived truth, rather than an inability to make eye contact.

---

Why the "Damaged" Narrative Persists

Given these unique and valid forms of perception, a crucial question arises: Why would some people want to push the narrative that autists are damaged when in fact they are not? Several interconnected reasons contribute to the perpetuation of this harmful myth:

1. The Dominant Medical/Pathology Model: Historically, autism has been predominantly framed as a "disorder" or "condition" needing "cure," which inherently implies a state of being "broken" or "damaged."
2. Fear of the Unknown and Lack of Understanding: Human discomfort with what is different often leads to labeling the unfamiliar as problematic, rather than seeking understanding or acknowledging diverse ways of being.
3. Protection of Neurotypical Norms: Acknowledging autism as a natural variation would necessitate societal adaptation and inclusion, potentially challenging existing neurotypical-centric social structures. Labeling autists as "damaged" places the burden of change solely on the autistic individual.
4. Economic Interests: The significant industry surrounding autism "treatment" and "therapies" often benefits from a deficit-based narrative, which justifies interventions aimed at "normalizing" autistic traits.
5. Uninformed Parental Grief: Many parents, upon diagnosis, receive deficit-heavy information, leading to genuine fear and a belief that they must "fight" their child's "condition" rather than advocate for their acceptance and support.
6. "Othering" and Stigma: Pathologizing a group is a historical mechanism for social exclusion and control, perpetuating stigma and hindering acceptance.
7. Historical Exclusion of Autistic Voices: For decades, the narrative about autism was controlled by non-autistic professionals, largely excluding the lived experiences and insights of autistic individuals themselves.

Broader Societal Biases: A Reinforcing Pattern

The propensity to label autistic individuals as "damaged" mirrors a broader societal tendency to apply biased narratives, often rooted in preconceptions rather than objective assessment. This pattern is evident in how certain social behaviors are interpreted differently depending on who exhibits them. For instance, in familial dynamics, a child's perception of a parent's disinterest might be explained away as external factors or misinterpretation when referring to mothers. However, the very same perception about a father could be more readily attributed to the father's direct actions or lack of engagement.

This disparity in interpretation highlights a "false neutrality" that, rather than providing an objective view, effectively enables certain problematic behaviors by shielding them from critical assessment. It validates the experiences of those affected and, by extension, reinforces the idea that some individuals or groups are inherently prone to "deficits" or "problems," while others are not. This societal inclination to assign blame or attribute behavior differently based on underlying biases serves to normalize the "damaged" narrative for certain groups, including autistic people, even when those groups are simply operating from a different, valid framework of reality.

---

Discrediting Truth-Seeing Abilities

Beyond these factors, a more subtle but potent reason exists: the "damaged" narrative can serve as a deliberate strategy to discredit autistic perspectives and their truth-seeing abilities. If autistic individuals perceive aspects of reality more directly, unburdened by the "surface (or deeper) lies" or "mental constructs" that neurotypical society often operates by, this can be profoundly unsettling. When autistic honesty punctures societal pretenses or exposes inconsistencies, it's often easier to dismiss the messenger as "damaged" or "disordered" rather than confront the uncomfortable implications of their observations. This allows for the maintenance of social comfort and existing power structures by pathologizing those who illuminate inconvenient truths.

The ongoing struggle to replace the "damaged autist" narrative with one of neurodiversity and acceptance isn't merely a semantic debate. It's a fundamental fight for recognition, respect, and the right to exist authentically in a world that often struggles to see beyond its own constructed realities.

21… That number means something. A reminder that limits create value - both in Bitcoin and in life.

Every June 21st, skaters around the world remind us that freedom is something you make yourself - one push at a time only constrained by your own limitations.

This year in Vientiane, we’re proud to support one of the few real skate spots in Laos. A place built and held together by skaters for skaters.

Expect around 50 locals - from young kids to older heads - showing up not just to skate, but to hold space for each other. No ego, no filters, just boards, fun and respect.

Bircoiners have lots to learn from these communities on this regard. Go skate and you'll find out.

Vor elf Jahren, als der Krieg in der Ukraine begonnen hatte und die Putsch-Regierung in Kiew militärisch gegen die “Separatisten” genannten Bürger der östlichen Regionen vorging, die das illegal an die Macht gelangte Regime nicht akzeptieren wollten, schrieb ich unter dem Titel “Barbarossa 2.0”, dass “wir” – im Westen – noch immer “Die Wohlgesinnten” sind – und empfahl das Buch von Jonathan Littell  als “besten Tatsachen-Roman über 'Barbarossa 1' und die Folgen”:

"Dass dies alles NICHT im Interesse Europas und Deutschland sein kann, hatten wir hier schon mehrfach aufgezeigt – und wenn es noch eines Beweises bedurft hätte, wer hier die Strippen zieht: der Sohn des US-Vizepräsidenten und der beste Kumpel von Außenminister John “Skull & Bones” Kerry steigen in den Vorstand des größten privaten ukrainischen Gasunternehmens ein – zuständig für “Expansion”. Schon im Januar war der größte Agrarkonzern der USA , Cargill, mit 200 Mio. beim größten Landwirtschaftsbetrieb der Ukraine eingestiegen. Vermittelt von einem Spezi der US-Diplomatin Victoria “F*ck EU” Nuland und ihres Mannes, Robert Kagan, seines Zeichens Mitgründer des Neocon-Thinktanks “PNAC” (“Project For A New American Century”) ; jenem Club von Cheney, Rumsfeld und Co. der sich 1999 “ein neues Pearl Harbour” wünschte, um weitere militärische Eroberungen durchzuziehen.

Nazi-Deutschlands “Unternehmen Barbarossa” – der 1940 geschmiedete geheime Plan, Russland zu überfallen und blitzkriegartig zu besiegen – endete bekanntlich in einer Tragödie und mit 20 Millionen toten Russen und Ukrainern. Vor 70 Jahren, am 11. Mai 1944, vertrieb die Rote Armee die letzten Faschisten von der Halbinsel Krim. Dass Russland sie jetzt wieder, völkerrechtlich fragwürdig, annektierte – nachdem der alte Schlawiner Nikita Chrustschow die Krim 1954 seiner alten politischen Heimat Ukraine, völkerrechtlich fragwürdig, einfach geschenkt hatte – um sie vor dem aus Kiew herannahenden “Rechten Sektor” zu schützen entbehrt insofern nicht einer gewissen Konsequenz. Denn auch wenn diese echten Faschisten nur einen Teil der amtierenden Putsch-Regierung ausmachen und Jateznjuk “nur ” eine zivile CIA-Marionette ist – was da unter dem “Stars & Stripes”-und EU-Banner läuft kann man durchaus als “Barbarossa 2.0” sehen: ein bisschen mehr “Soft Power”, ein bisschen weniger Rassismus und Nazi-Brutalität (wobei: Maidan-Scharfschützen, Odessa, Mariupol… schon sehr heftig), und reichlich mehr Propaganda, dass wir doch die “Guten” sind."

Die sind wir selbstverständlich immer noch, lassen den Krieg in der Ukraine erst mit dem Einmarsch Russlands 2022 beginnen, statt 2014 mit den Angriffen Kiews auf die eigenen Bürger mit mehr als 10.000 zivilen Opfern – und lassen wie 1943 wieder deutsche  Panzer nach Kursk rollen und hunderttausende ukrainische Söldner gegen eine haushoch überlegene Supermacht kämpfen und sterben. Immer noch wohlgesinnt und nunmehr in einer “Koalition der Willigen”, die zwar keinen Krieg führen kann, aber in der Lage ist, mit dem Feuer zu spielen. Wie am Wochenende mit den Drohnenangriffen auf russische Militärflughäfen, die ohne (Satelliten-)Unterstützung durch US-und UK-Dienste nicht möglich war – auch wenn aus Kiew anderes behauptet wird und Donald Trump bekundet, nichts davon gewusst zu haben.

Wenn dem so wäre und ihn seine Dienste über den lange vorbereiteten Coup im Dunkeln gelassen haben, wäre er genauso wie die Wandermumie “Sleepy Joe” nur eine Marionette – diesmal  mit Sprechfunktion; wenn er aber eingeweiht war, macht es die Sache nicht besser, denn es war ein Angriff auf die strategische Nuklearverteidigung Russlands. Auf Standorte, die im Rahmen der SALT/START/NewSTART-Abkommen zur Nuklearbegrenzung zwischen USA und Russland offengelegt und kontrollierbar sind – als gegenseitige vertrauensbildende Maßnahme.

Dass dieses Vertrauen schwer erschüttert wurde, ist für Lawrence Wilkernson,  Stabsschef des ehemaligen US-Außenministers Colin  Powell (hier im Gespräch ) die weitaus gefährlichste Konsequenz dieser Attacke, die an der militärischen Niederlage in der Ukraine zwar nichts ändern wird, aber die Spirale nuklearer Eskalation dramatisch in Richtung Armageddon verschiebt. Unter “Alarmstufe Rot” (DEFCON 1) bei beiden Nuklearmächten können  kleinste Fehler zu einer gigantischen Katastrophe führen – nach der die überlebenden “Wohlgesinnten”, die auch im  3. Weltkrieg “willig” mitgemacht haben, den 4. Weltkrieg dann – nach Albert Einsteins Diktum -“wieder mit Knüppeln und Steinen”(Real Game of Thrones, 15.11.2018) führen werden.

Selbst wenn bei der “Operation Spiderweb” tatsächlich ein Drittel der russischen Nuklearflotte getroffen worden wäre, wie die westlichen Medien behaupten – und nicht nur ein halbes Dutzend von über 90 einsatzfähigen Bombern – wiegt der materielle Schaden weit weniger als der psychologische, durch einen selbst in der heißesten Phase des Kalten Kriegs nie dagewesenen Vertrauensbruch. Wie vor einem Jahr, als pünktlich zu geplanten “Verhandlungen” in der Schweiz russische Radaranlagen attackiert wurden, sind auch jetzt wieder wichtige Elemente der nuklearen Verteidigung angegriffen worden, pünktlich bevor in Istanbul wieder “Friedensgepräche” stattfinden sollten, die denn auch bis auf einen Gefangenenaustausch ergebnislos blieben, Kein Zufall und ganz im Sinne der “Willigen” in Europa, die ihre kriegsmüden Bürger mit triumphalen Frontmeldungen kampfbereit und zahlungswillig machen wollen und darauf zu hoffen scheinen, dass sie nach einem Gegenschlag Russlands auf ein EU-Land “Artikel 5” ausrufen und endlich ungeniert statt verdeckt  mit ganz NATOstan “legal” angreifen können. Den Gefallen wird Wladimir Putin ihnen aber wohl nicht tun, wie Pepe Escobar, – derzeit in Moskau – berichtet:

“Es steht jedoch außer Frage, dass die – unvermeidliche – Antwort eine maximale Strategie erfordern wird. Wenn die Antwort im Einklang mit Russlands eigener aktualisierter Nukleardoktrin steht (d.h. ein nuklearer Gegenschlag wäre) , riskiert Moskau, die fast einhellige Unterstützung des Globalen Südens zu verlieren. Ist die Reaktion lauwarm, wird es zu massiven innenpolitischen Rückschlägen kommen. Die Forderung „Lasst die Oreschniks frei“ findet nahezu einhellige Zustimmung. Die russische Öffentlichkeit hat es langsam satt, immer wieder das Ziel von Terroranschlägen zu sein. Die Stunde der schicksalhaften Entscheidung wird immer später. Das bringt uns zum ultimativen Dilemma. Die russischen Machthaber überlegen, wie sie die kollektive Kriegstreiberei des Westens besiegen können, ohne den Dritten Weltkrieg auszulösen.”

\ Anders als Lockheed in den USA, wo man über hyperschnelle Raketen nur im Modellbild (siehe oben) verfügt, sind sie in Russland mittlerweile kriegserprobt und von herkömmlichen Luftabwehrsystemen nicht abzufangen; die im November  2024 auf eine große Rüstungsfabrik in Dnieper eingeschlagenen 12 Orschenik -Sprengkörper zerstörten das Gelände bis mehrere Stockwerke unter der Erde. \ In den “Entscheidungszentren” und Bunkern in Kiew sollte sich deshalb ab sofort niemand mehr sicher fühlen. Oder gar auf NATOstan-Führer Rutte hören, der neuerdings den Führer Adolf anno `39 gibt:

https://x.com/BowesChay/status/1930254305509920876

\ “We are more powerful than the Roman Empire, the Napoleonic Empire, we are the most powerful in world history”. Da diese mächtigste Armee der Weltgeschichte zuletzt bekanntlich von einer Sandalentruppe aus Afghanistan verjagt wurde und sich zuvor nur dadurch auszeichnete, wehrlose Länder zu bombardieren und ins Chaos zu stürzen, markieren Aussagen wie diese eine realitätsfremde Hybris, die nur als pathologisch bezeichnet werden kann. Doch statt sofort zwei Pfleger im weißen Kittel zu schicken, die den mental angeschlagenen NATOstan-Häuptling in eine beschützende Werkstatt transpedieren, gewährt man dem gefährlichen Irren und seinen Phantasmagorien weiter Öffentlichkeit und Reichweite.

Als ob Größenwahn nicht auch mit sanfter Gesprächstherapie und Beruhigungsmitteln kuriert werden könnte, soll offenbar der Beweis angetreten werden, dass gegen den schweren Dachschaden der wahnsinnig wohlgesinnten, willigen europäischen Elite tatsächlich nur noch  “controlled demolition” hilft, die Abrissbirne Oreschnik.

Hal Finney helped start the chain.

When he tweeted “Running Bitcoin” in 2009, he did more than launch a network—he became its first human node. He mined the first blocks. He received the first transaction. And then, not long after, he received an ALS diagnosis.

But here’s the part that never leaves me: he kept going.

Even as his body weakened, Hal kept coding with speech‑to‑text software. He stayed plugged in. He called Bitcoin “an exciting possibility.” He kept contributing because each new block gave him purpose—a signal that his energy was still shaping the future.

And now, it is.

At Canurta, we will pioneer the Satoshi Trials™, using the power of Bitcoin in our Corporate Treasury to fund R\&D. With every block, we’re moving closer to a world where we can show how nature can be harnessed as the best medicine. We’re translating block time into biological progress.

This isn’t metaphor. It’s design— with the deeper purpose to complete the loop: the same digital system that gave Hal hope will now help us fund and fuel ALS research. His energy—immortalized in the Bitcoin ledger—is powering a therapeutic frontier that could one day deliver on what he never got to see.

We believe in transparency. Like Bitcoin, our science will remain verifiable and open.

We believe in persistence. Like Bitcoin, our model compounds over time.

And we believe in decentralized resilience—because it will take more than one institution to solve ALS.

This ALS Awareness Month, we’re not just remembering Hal Finney.

We’re building with him.

One block at a time.

Bitcoin Layer 2: The Key To Scaling Bitcoin

Bitcoin, and for that matter all blockchains, do not scale. It is a fundamental limitation of blockchain based systems that they are incapable of facilitating transactional use at a truly global scale without completely sacrificing the decentralization and verifiability that make them valuable in the first place. 

This has been an existential issue that Bitcoiners have grappled with from the very beginning of Bitcoin. This is a comment from James A. Donald, a Canadian cypherpunk who was the first person to reply to Satoshi’s original post on the cryptography mailing list: 

Satoshi Nakamoto wrote:

“The bandwidth might not be as prohibitive as you
think. A typical transaction would be about 400 bytes
(ECC is nicely compact). Each transaction has to be
broadcast twice, so lets say 1KB per transaction.
Visa processed 37 billion transactions in FY2008, or
an average of 100 million transactions per day. That
many transactions would take 100GB of bandwidth, or
the size of 12 DVD or 2 HD quality movies, or about
$18 worth of bandwidth at current prices.”

The trouble is, you are comparing with the Bankcard
network.

But a new currency cannot compete directly with an old,
because network effects favor the old.

You have to go where Bankcard does not go.

At present, file sharing works by barter for bits. This,
however requires the double coincidence of wants. People
only upload files they are downloading, and once the
download is complete, stop seeding. So only active
files, files that quite a lot of people want at the same
time, are available.

File sharing requires extremely cheap transactions,
several transactions per second per client, day in and
day out, with monthly transaction costs being very small
per client, so to support file sharing on bitcoins, we
will need a layer of account money on top of the
bitcoins, supporting transactions of a hundred
thousandth the size of the smallest coin, and to support
anonymity, chaumian money on top of the account money.

Let us call a bitcoin bank a bink. The bitcoins stand
in the same relation to account money as gold stood in
the days of the gold standard. The binks, not trusting
each other to be liquid when liquidity is most needed,
settle out any net discrepancies with each other by
moving bit coins around once every hundred thousand
seconds or so, so bitcoins do not change owners that
often, Most transactions cancel out at the account
level. The binks demand bitcoins of each other only
because they don’t want to hold account money for too
long. So a relatively small amount of bitcoins
infrequently transacted can support a somewhat larger
amount of account money frequently transacted.

Despite the era of the Blocksize Wars, the big blockers, and the naive assumptions by many early Bitcoiners that simply raising the blocksize was a viable solution to scale the system, it has been understood by competent observers and engineers from the very beginning that this would undermine the core value proposition of that made it useful in the first place. Hal Finney also spoke of the need for such a settlement layer on top. 

Scaling in layers has always been the only rational plan to make Bitcoin work in the long term, but for a long period of Bitcoin’s early history how to do so without relying on trusted third parties was an elusive problem. 

One of the first ideas on how to do this was sidechains, independent blockchains with a peg to facilitate locking bitcoin on the mainchain to utilize on the sidechain, and at any point unlocking funds on the mainchain to move them back by proving legitimate control of bitcoin on the sidechain. These systems however have yet to achieve a way to operate a peg without either 1) introducing some form of trusted third party, no matter how well mitigated, or 2) creating centralization pressure for the primary Bitcoin network. 

Since those early days there have been many more ideas developed that have found better ways to peg into second layer systems, specifically schemes like the Lightning Network and Ark which allow end users to unilaterally exit back to the mainchain without needing the permission or approval of some operator. 

Scaling Bitcoin in a way that facilitates higher transactional volumes without degrading the security properties of Bitcoin to the point of being indistinguishable from third party operated custodians is one of the most critical problems to solve in order for Bitcoin to truly succeed in the long term. 

This article series will explore the architectures of different Layer 2 systems for Bitcoin, both those deployed live on the network right now and those that are simply design proposals at this point. 

Listed below are the systems I will be covering. The design space of Layer 2s is much more expansive than many people are familiar with, so this list should not be taken as comprehensive and complete, and will be updated over time to reflect additional Layer 2s that are covered. 

• Ark
• Statechains
• Lightning Network
• Sidechains
• Clique
• Rollups
• Client Side Validated Systems
• Ecash
• Custodial Systems
• Physical Bearer Instruments

Support The Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) To Protect Noncustodial Services

With a lot of regulatory talk centered around The GENIUS Act and The CLARITY Act (the market structure bill) right now, it’s important that Bitcoin enthusiasts also pay attention to and support The Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) — H.R. 1747.

The act, which was reintroduced to Congress on May 21, 2025 by Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) and Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY), provides “safe harbor from licensing and registration for certain non-controlling blockchain developers and providers of blockchain services.”

Critical Bitcoin legislation was introduced last week & it needs our support

The Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) by @GOPMajorityWhip and @RitchieTorres protects self-custody developers, miners, and nodes from being classified as money transmitters.

Thread pic.twitter.com/cJ8Ogno3h5

— Nick Neuman (@Nneuman) May 30, 2025

It also stipulates that no blockchain developer or provider of a blockchain service shall be treated as a money transmitter unless the developers or providers behind the project have control over user funds.

This bill is relevant because the developers for both Samourai Wallet and Tornado Cash are currently facing charges for operating unlicensed money transmitter businesses, despite the fact that the developers for neither of these technologies ever had control over user funds.

It’s also important because, under the Biden administration, the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) didn’t just classify privacy services as money transmitters, but ancillary services such as Lightning nodes, rollup sequencers, and other Bitcoin and blockchain technology, as well.

If the BRCA isn’t enacted into law, there is a risk that all Bitcoin and crypto wallets as well as other noncustodial services and technologies will be made illegal and/or subject to KYC/AML laws.

While Rep. Emmer and Rep. Torres’ reintroducing this bill is a positive step, the congressmen need our help in making the BRCA a priority for this current Congress.

To help, go to SaveOurWallets.org and follow the directions on the website to contact the elected officials that represent your district and state in the federal government and tell them that you would like to see them support the BRCA.

But they need our help, we need to make clear that the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act is *the* priority this Congress for our space. Go to https://t.co/fXVqSQ2nUv, put in your ZIP code, and make a quick call. It works.

If this act doesn’t pass, we will face significant hurdles regarding the scaling of Bitcoin and other blockchains as well as around privacy.

Yes, yes, I know some of you are saying to yourselves Bitcoin will win regardless of our actions (or that it’s already won) and that we don’t need to engage with politicians in the process.

I’m here to say 1.) this isn’t necessarily true, 2.) there are four developers currently facing trial (the Samourai and Tornado Cash developers) and pushing to get this bill passed may help them, 3.) if this bill doesn’t pass, scaling Bitcoin may be much more difficult, and 4.) there’s a reality in which we give up a lot of our legal right to privacy when using Bitcoin if the bill doesn’t pass.

So, with these points in mind, pick up the phone and/or send an email to your elected representatives and tell them you’d like to see them support the BRCA.

Starting 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.

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.

Être « 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.

Rettungswagen fahren ständig über rote Ampeln

Wenn man diese rote Ampel als Bild für den Schmerz nimmt, dann stellt sich doch die Frage, warum das, was wir als „Rettung“ bezeichnen, ständig den Schmerz übergeht, überfährt. „Ja, aber man kann doch nicht von einem Rettungswagen erwarten, dass er an einer roten Ampel hält, oder?“

Was würden Sie von einer fremden Zivilisation halten, in der ständig aufgeregte Mitglieder dieser Zivilisation im Einsatz sein müssen, um Leben zu retten? Auf mich wirkt das nicht sehr vertrauensvoll. In so einer Zivilisation würde ich nicht leben wollen.

Aber wenn ich samstags im Garten sitze, dann höre ich mindestens fünf Mal das Martinshorn. Dieses Warnsignal gehört in deutschen Städten zum normalen Alltag. Man bekommt ständig „Gefahr“ suggeriert. Ich finde das nicht normal. Es zeigt, meines Erachtens, an, dass mit unserer „Gesundheit“ bzw. mit unserer Gesellschaft etwas nicht stimmt. Für welches Problem wird uns da eigentlich „Rettung“ angeboten? Und woher kommt das Problem? Ist es überhaupt ein Problem?

Ich kenne Menschen, die therapeutisch schon viel ausprobiert haben und sich theoretisch viel Wissen über Traumaarbeit  und entsprechende Therapietechniken angeeignet haben, die aber dennoch nicht an ihren Schmerz heran kommen. Sie funktionieren im Alltag, fühlen sich aber die meiste Zeit in der Stimmung gedrückt, haben wenig Lebensfreude. Der Stachel sitzt fest im Fleisch und macht nur bei „falscher Bewegung“ Probleme. Meiner Erfahrung nach bestimmt die Natur den Zeitpunkt, an dem das Trauma, begleitet von einem nicht zu übersehenden Schmerz, wieder aktiviert wird und damit integriert werden kann. Irgendwann machen wir zum Glück diese eine „falsche Bewegung“. Und dann tut´s weh.

Und dann kommt die Rettung oder der Rettungswagen und bietet eine vermeintliche Lösung an, um im Bild zu bleiben. Ist das Fluch oder Segen?

Ich war selber lange in dieser „Schonhaltung“ und habe viele Leute aufgesucht, um in meinem Prozess weiter zu kommen. In der Rückschau hat das alles Sinn gemacht, auch wenn es mich nicht entscheidend weiter gebracht hat, von einigen lieben Ausnahmen abgesehen. Denn ich habe dadurch den Therapiemarkt aus Sicht eines Ratsuchenden gut kennen gelernt. Und ich bin nicht nur dadurch ein echter Kritiker des derzeitigen Therapiemarktes geworden. Wenn man selber erlebt hat, was einem so alles angeboten wird, wenn man dringend guten Rat bräuchte, dann ist das eine ungute Erfahrung, die man macht. Ich sage das, obwohl ich ja auch selber lange beratend tätig war in Psychiatrien und in der Sozialberatung. Es geht hier um ganz ernsthafte Selbstreflektion und um Überlegungen darüber, was mit unserem Therapiemarkt für Menschen mit seelischem Leid nicht stimmt.

Wer jetzt über den Begriff „Therapie M A R K T“ stolpert, der versteht, worauf ich hinaus will.

Natürlich kommen Therapieangebote (die Rettung) direkt aus dem System, welches einen zuvor als „krank“ diagnostiziert hat. „Krank“ ist laut System der, der nicht so funktioniert, wie es das System vorsieht. Und nun kommt eben dieses System und will einen „gesund“ machen. Und es will einen eben auch nicht „gesund“ machen, sondern einen eher dazu befähigen, dass man wieder im Sinne des Systems funktioniert. Nach einer Behandlung vom Therapiemarkt funktioniert man dann auch wieder, aber man fühlt sich weiter gedrückt in der Stimmung, und es fehlt an Lebensfreude, womit wir wieder am Anfang des Artikels wären. Kurz, die Therapie hilft nicht, was aber niemanden davon abhält, sie immer wieder neu anzuwenden bzw. aufzusuchen.

Das System kann Dich eben nur soweit bringen, wie es das System zulässt, sonst würde es sich ja selbst abschaffen oder erneuern. Ist ja logisch. Du wirst im System niemanden antreffen, der Dir erklärt, dass Du das System (die Rettung) eigentlich gar nicht brauchst, jedenfalls nicht in dieser Version. Es ist immer das Gleiche, egal um welchen Lebensbereich, Gesellschaftsbereich, Marktbereich es geht. Ich erkläre im Prinzip nur das nochmal, was viele schon aus den Bereichen Medizin, Bildung, Medien, Kultur, Spiritualität, Umwelt, Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft, Politik usw. kennen.  

Ein System ist immer nur soweit, wie das System ist.

Und wenn ein System an seine Grenzen stößt, dann gehst Du halt zum Therapeuten und fühlst Dich anschließend nicht besser als zuvor.

Daran erkennt man im Prinzip, dass ein System an seine Grenzen gestoßen ist, wenn es auf der Stelle tritt, wenn die Rettung keine Rettung bringt und wenn die Lösung das Problem ist.

Menschen leben nicht ihr authentisches Sein, kommen nicht in die gesunde Freude, sind entweder überm Strich oder drunter, leben nicht aus ihrer Mitte heraus, können diese Mitte nicht (aus)halten, empfinden diese Mitte als langweilig oder als bedrohlich. Das Schöne und Gute macht nicht satt, oder man will es nicht aus der Angst heraus, es gleich wieder zu verlieren. Dies sind, meines Erachtens, weit verbreitete Traumafolgen, die den meisten mehr oder weniger bewusst sind.

Menschen suchen deswegen Therapeuten auf, die diesen Zustand aber nicht wesentlich verbessern können. Man akzeptiert daher diesen Zustand (mit oder ohne Therapeuten), oder man sagt nach der Therapie, dass die beratenden Therapeuten nichts drauf hatten und selber alle ein psychisches Problem haben, oder man kann tiefer schauen. Ich möchte hier tiefer schauen, denn ich kenne beide Seiten. Ich habe oft Rat gesucht und oft Begleitung angeboten.

Natürlich haben alle Psychologen, die als Therapeut arbeiten, ein Problem in die Wiege gelegt bekommen. Das entspricht dem Archetyp des Heilers. Der Heiler ist ja der, der sich erst selbst geheilt hat und eben deshalb andere heilen kann und will. Also ist der Vorwurf, dass alle Psychologen, die therapeutisch arbeiten, ja selbst ein Problem haben, nicht gut durchdacht. Der Punkt ist eher, dass es für einen guten Berater nicht reicht, ein eigenes Problem zu haben, sondern er sollte es gelöst haben, zumindest dieses eine Problem, das er beim anderen begleitend beraten möchte. Es geht um Begleitung, nicht um Heilung. Machen, muss jeder bekanntlich selber. Man kann das Pferd nur zur Tränke führen. Trinken muss es selber. Mit anderen Worten, der Berater sollte einen Schritt weiter sein als der Ratsuchende.

Wenn man nun als Berater bestimmte (Selbstheilungs)Erfahrungen gemacht hat, die aber nichts mit der Vorstellungswelt des Systems (die Rettung) zu tun haben, dann hat man ein Problem. Das System spuckt einen sehr schnell wie einen Kirschstein aus. Das süße Fleisch wird abgeknabbert, Deine wertschätzende und empathische Art mit Kunden oder Patienten umzugehen, aber der Kern, Deine Überzeugung, dass diese bedingungslos wertschätzende Haltung DER Schlüssel ist, um im Gegenüber SELBST-HEILUNG anzuregen, wird ausgespuckt. Das Wort „bedingungslos“ ist hierbei wichtig.

Du möchtest den Menschen wärmstens den Schmerz ans Herz legen, weil er Dir selbst Dein Gefühl zurück gebracht hat, weil Du es selbst so erlebt hast, und andere Fachleute sagen, das sei unverantwortlich. Psychische Stabilität sei oberstes Gebot. Man müsse handlungsfähig bleiben, die Kontrolle behalten und eine Reaktivierung des alten Traumas sei gefährlich. (Wessen Trauma ist hier eigentlich gemeint? Aber egal.) Das könne auch ins Auge gehen.

Ja und Nein. Niemand redet davon, etwas zu forcieren. Es geht vielmehr um die Anerkennung dessen, dass wichtige Transformationsprozesse sich SELBST einleiten, SELBST das Tempo vorgeben und NICHT (durch Bedingungen) gestört werden wollen. Meines Erachtens werden Transformationsprozesse, die sich zaghaft anmelden, in der Regel durch sogenannte Behandlungen und die dazugehörigen RahmenBEDINGUNGEN gestört. Ratsuchende werden mit Wissen und Fremdwörtern überhäuft, mit mündlich und schriftlich vereinbarten Therapiezielen irritiert, mit regelmäßigen mündlichen und schriftlichen Nachfragen zum Behandlungserfolg verunsichert und belästigt und nicht selten wegen angeblich fehlender Mitwirkung bewertet. Andauernde Symptome werden einem zum Vorwurf gemacht, Gefühle werden wie wilde Tiere gejagt, die es, wenn nötig, pharmazeutisch einzufangen und zu erlegen gilt. Anpassung ist Trumpf. Und die Bürokratie beäugt alles aus sicherer Entfernung mit der Stoppuhr. Zeit ist Geld. Wie soll man sich da vertrauensvoll öffnen, Gefühle fließen lassen, den Schmerz zulassen, die Kontrolle verlieren UND wieder erlangen bevor die Kurzzeittherapie oder der genehmigte Klinikaufenthalt beendet sind? Keine Frau kann auf natürliche Weise ein Kind gebären, wenn, etwas überspitzt formuliert, alle fünf Minuten jemand ins Zimmer kommt, den Muttermund fühlen möchte und freundlich darauf hinweist, dass in ein paar Minuten nur noch der Bereitschaftsdienst von der Nachtschicht im Hause ist. Das verursacht Stress, und alles zieht sich buchstäblich zusammen. In der Psychotherapie ist das vergleichbar.

Der seelische Schmerz ist in Praxen, Kliniken und Gesundheitszentren ein Zustand, der wie ein Hund, draußen bleiben muss. Er gilt als Indikator für Krankheit. Das ist aber nur die halbe Wahrheit. Es gibt auch Therapiehunde, und die dürfen rein. Der Schmerz ist beides.

Meines Erachtens ist der Schmerz die Durchtrittspforte, die in beide Richtungen passiert werden kann. Er ist der Letzte und der Erste. Er schaltet das Gefühl ab, wenn das Trauma passiert. Aber er läutet die Wiederkehr des vollen Gefühls auch wieder ein, wenn das Gefühl zurückkommen möchte. Und genau dieser (wertvolle) Schmerz wird bekämpft, was das Zeug hält. Wie soll man dabei gesund werden, wenn man aktiv davon abgehalten wird, durch diese Pforte zu gehen? Niemand lässt einen in Ruhe diesen (wertvollen) Schmerz durchfühlen. Therapeuten werden nervös, Ärzte zücken den Rezeptblock, Krankenkassen beanstanden den fehlenden Erfolg der Behandlungsmethode und kürzen die Mittel. Und dabei arbeitet genau dieser Schmerz FÜR das Leben und FÜR die Selbstheilung, wenn man ihn einfach mal machen lassen würde. Der Schmerz ist so viel besser als sein Ruf. Wenn es irgendwo Drama gibt, dann kann man sicher sein, dass es dem Schmerz in die Schuhe geschoben wird. Und das ganze Geld, was man zur Schmerzbekämpfung ausgibt (Schmerz ist ein Geschäft), könnte man so sinnvoll an anderer Stelle anlegen. Wichtige Gefühle und eben dieser wertvolle Schmerz, der die Selbstheilung bringt, werden vereitelt, weil unser derzeitiges System sich das nicht vorstellen kann, dass ein Schmerz gut sein kann. Der Rettungswagen fährt immer über diese rote Ampel drüber.

Was ist nun mein erster skizzenhafter Kurzausblick für einen hilfreichen Umgang mit Verletzung oder gar Trauma?

Genauso wie es in diesen Tagen Überlegungen zur natürlichen Geburt, zur Hausgeburt usw. gibt, genauso braucht es, meines Erachtens, komplett andere Strukturen, um Mensch zu helfen, die seelisch leiden. Es gibt zurzeit sehr viele Menschen, die aus den unterschiedlichsten Gründen seelisch leiden. Wir sind eine verletzte Gesellschaft, oft sogar bis tief in die Wurzeln.

Mein Traum ist, dass alles von Grund auf anders wird. Der Ratsuchende wird gesehen, er braucht nicht mehr nach Hilfe suchen. Menschen erkennen, was mit einem Mitglied ihrer Gemeinschaft los ist, nicht stimmt. Der Betroffene wird liebevoll und behutsam in die Mitte gestellt, nicht an den Rand. Er erfährt Wertschätzung für sich und seine Situation. Er braucht keine Angst zu haben, ausgestoßen zu werden. Alle setzen alles daran, jemandem zu helfen, weil er ein wertvolles Mitglied der Gruppe ist. Die Begleitung ist ein Anliegen der ganzen Gruppe, nicht eines Heilers. Alle wollen, dass es einer Person wieder besser geht. Alle erkennen eine Botschaft in der „Krankheit“. Denn eine Krankheit entsteht immer in einem System und nicht in einem Individuum allein. Alle nehmen aus der Krankheit eine Lernerfahrung mit für die Zukunft, damit das in Zukunft nach Möglichkeit nicht mehr passiert. Der Betroffene ist um eine Erfahrung reicher, geht gestärkt aus dem Prozess hervor und kann später andere unterstützen, weil er ein spezielles Wissen erworben hat. Der Kranke braucht keine Gefühle von Schuld oder Versagen zu entwickeln, im Gegenteil, er wird aufgewertet, weil ihm Aufmerksamkeit und Fürsorge zuteil werden. Und die Gruppe ist gestärkt, weil sie ein Mitglied wieder fit gemacht hat, sich selbst als Gruppe helfen konnte. „Krankheit“ ist nicht länger ein Grund, jemanden auszustoßen, sondern ein Anreiz, als Gruppe stärker zu werden. Eine Gruppe, die schon ein paar schwere Probleme gemeinsam gemeistert hat, ist ein starkes Team.

Seelisches Leid einer Person wird so einfach zu einem Indikator, der einer Gruppe anzeigt, wo sie nachbessern darf.

Je sensibler jemand ist, desto eher zeigt er seelisches Leid an. Sensible Leute haben diese Funktion in einer Gruppe. Die robusten Leute haben eine andere Funktion in einer Gruppe. Beides ist wichtig. Gruppen brauchen sensible Mitglieder, weil diese, wenn sie gesehen werden, sicherstellen, dass auf gute Umgangsformen, auf Rücksicht, auf Ausgleich, auf Gerechtigkeit usw. geachtet wird. „Krankheiten“ zeigen eigentlich nur Überlastungen an. Je mehr Mitglieder einer Gruppe „krank“ werden, umso schlimmer sind die Lebensumstände. Jedes System sollte immer konstruktiv auf Überlastungsanzeigen reagieren, weil es ansonsten auf der Zeitlinie endet.

Und diesem Gedanken folgend, zieht die Forderung nach einer anderen Begleitung von seelischem Leid in unserer Gesellschaft im Prinzip den Wunsch nach einer ganz anderen gesellschaftlichen Form des Zusammenlebens nach sich. Um sich in einer Gemeinschaft um ein Mitglied kümmern zu können, braucht es erstmal eine (soziale) Gemeinschaft. Also brauchen wir wieder funktionierende soziale Gruppen, wo Menschen sich ganz einfach miteinander verbunden fühlen, sich für die Oma, den Neffen, den Nachbarn oder Kollegen interessieren. Solche Dinge können klein anfangen und dann immer größer werden. Ich denke an Oasen inmitten der alten Struktur wie es sie in ähnlichen Bereichen bereits gibt. Das sind z.B. nichtkommerzielle Projekte, die davon leben, dass einige wenige Menschen sich zusammengeschlossen haben, weil sie die gleiche Sehnsucht teilten. Oder einzelne Menschen machen ihre eigene Erfahrung für jeden frei zugänglich. Jeder, der etwas Hilfreiches in Sachen „seelische Heilung“ erlebt hat, meldet sich zu Wort, wird erkennbar für Ratsuchende. Der Ratsuchende muss nicht mehr auf die Suche gehen, muss sich nicht mehr schämen, ist nicht mehr allein. Es geht um freien Wissensaustausch, der dann Kreise ziehen kann. Es geht um den Wunsch, es anders, freier und menschlicher gestalten zu wollen und darum, sich etwas anderes vorstellen zu können, weil man selbst mal etwas anderes am eigenen Leib und an der eigenen Seele erfahren hat. Wenn man selbst etwas anders erfahren hat, als es vom System und von wichtigen Gremien gepredigt wird, dann gibt es kein Zurück zum System mehr, denn man weiß, es geht anders.

Wissen kann man nicht mehr zurück nehmen, wenn es einmal da ist.

Es geht anders, das ist zumindest meine Gewissheit. Und wir können Traumaintegration mit der Kraft der Natur, mit unserer Biologie, mit der Intelligenz der Evolution oder dem, was größer ist als wir, erreichen. Wir können mit dieser in uns angelegten Fähigkeit zur SELBSTheilung auch schwere seelische Verletzungen „heilen“. Die Natur hat Frauen seit Urzeiten natürlich gebären lassen. Und die Natur hilft uns genauso bei seelischem Trauma, wenn wir sie, die Natur, dabei nicht stören.

Solche Oasen für seelische Prozesse können überall dort entstehen, wo Menschen selbst diese Erfahrung von Selbstheilung seelischer Verletzung gemacht haben. Solche Oasen haben nichts mit Kommerz zu tun haben. Die Erfahrung, die man in solch einer Oase gemacht hat, kann man dann weiter tragen. Das ist sozusagen ihr „Gewinn“. Der Gewinn ist immateriell. Aber wie wir alle wissen, zieht das Bewusstsein immer die Materie nach sich. Das bedeutet, dass immer mehr Menschen durch diese Erfahrungen in ihr authentisches Sein und ihre gesunde Schaffenskraft kommen. Und das wird irgendwann sichtbar und auch auf gesellschaftlicher Ebene spürbar.

Die größte Herausforderung wird sein, den Menschen klar zu machen, dass die Natur uns heilt und dass man mit diesem Modell kein Geschäft machen kann. Wer mit Heilung ein Geschäft machen möchte, kommt zwangsläufig an den Punkt, an dem wir jetzt sind. Man kann wohl nur mit unterdrücktem Heilungswissen Geschäfte machen. Deswegen wird der Schmerz auch unterdrückt und übergangen. Denn er trägt dieses Heilungswissen in sich. Mit frei zugänglichem Heilungswissen für jeden, also z.B. dem Wissen über den Schmerz und was dieser imstande ist zu verändern, kann man zwar kein Geschäft machen, aber dafür endlich alles andere.

Heiße den Schmerz willkommen, wenn er in Dein Leben kommt.

While billionaires battle for Bitcoin billions, everyday investors are missing the real revolution. Michael Saylor just quadrupled his stock offering to $1 billion for Bitcoin purchases, while Japan's Metaplanet aims to hold 100,000 BTC by 2026. These corporate treasuries aren't just hedging inflation – they're preparing for a world where traditional finance and crypto fully merge. Meanwhile, Uber is quietly exploring stablecoins to slash global money transfer costs, and the UK is lifting retail bans on crypto ETNs. The institutional chess pieces are moving while retail investors fixate on price charts. The question isn't whether Bitcoin hits $112K this year – it's whether you'll recognize the financial system transformation happening right under your nose. Are you watching the price or the paradigm shift?

JPMorgan to Offer Clients Financing Against Bitcoin & Crypto ETFs

JPMorgan Chase & Co. plans to allow its trading and wealth-management clients to use cryptocurrency-linked assets, including spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), as collateral for loans, according to Bloomberg.

JPMorgan Plans to Offer Clients Financing Against Crypto ETFs pic.twitter.com/QpausRiHxM

— matthew sigel, recovering CFA (@matthew_sigel) June 4, 2025

The bank will begin with BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), and additional ETFs are expected to be added over time. The policy will apply globally, spanning all client segments—from individual retail accounts to investors.  

In addition to the lending change, JPMorgan will begin factoring crypto holdings into overall net worth and liquid asset evaluations, placing them on par with stocks, vehicles, or fine art when determining loan eligibility, according to those familiar with the matter.

This development marks a formal expansion of what had previously been permitted on a limited, case-by-case basis. The bank’s new approach comes as other major financial institutions, including Morgan Stanley, explore ways to integrate crypto offerings more broadly. Last month, Bloomberg also reported that Morgan Stanley plans to bring crypto trading to its E*Trade platform.

The shift also reflects changes in the U.S. regulatory environment. Since returning to office, President Donald Trump’s administration has taken a more favorable stance toward digital assets. Spot Bitcoin ETFs, first introduced in January 2024, have seen rapid growth and now manage a combined $128 billion in assets, making them among the most successful ETF launches to date.

Bitcoin’s price has also risen significantly in recent months, reaching a record $111,980 in May 2025.

JPMorgan was among the first large U.S. banks to experiment with blockchain technology and maintains relationships with firms such as Coinbase. This latest decision allows more digital assets into the bank’s lending framework. 

While JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has remained publicly skeptical of Bitcoin, he has consistently emphasized clients’ right to access the asset. Speaking at the firm’s investor day in May, Dimon stated, “I’m not a fan of Bitcoin.” He went on to say, “I don’t think we should smoke, but I defend your right to smoke. I defend your right to buy Bitcoin, go at it.”

I've wanted to write this piece for months. Not because I have anything against Jack Mallers personally - quite the opposite. But because I've watched a pattern emerge in Bitcoin that mirrors one of the most chilling dynamics in Atlas Shrugged: the systematic destruction of our most productive builders by the very people who should be celebrating them.

We are the looters. And Jack might just be our Hank Rearden.

The Underdog's Dilemma

There's a cruel irony in how we treat success in Bitcoin. We champion the underdog, root for the builder in the garage, celebrate the cypherpunk taking on the establishment. But the moment that underdog succeeds - the moment they scale, grow, and inevitably have to navigate the messy realities of the existing system - we turn on them with the ferocity of the same establishment we claim to oppose.\ \ Jack began building Zap (which evolved into Strike) from his parents home in Chicago. Strike has grown into one of the most seamless fiat-to-bitcoin on-ramps for everyday users. No complexity, just pure utility. From day one, he's operated at a level of transparency that would make most CEO's uncomfortable. He's been building in public, taking feedback, admitting mistakes, and iterating - sometimes within hours of criticism.

The Rearden Parallel

In Atlas Shrugged, Hank Rearden creates Rearden Metal - a revolutionary alloy that's stronger, lighter, and more efficient than anything that came before. Instead of celebration, he faces endless scrutiny, regulation, and demands to prove is worthiness. The people who benefit from his innovation spend their time questioning his motives, dissecting his business practices, and demanding he justify his success.

Sound familiar?

Jack comes from a finance background - his father and grandfather were in the industry. This isn't a liability; it's an asset. He understands the beast we're fighting. He's been a Bitcoiner since 2013 with a spotless track record in a space littered with exit scams and broken promises. His values align with proof of work, individualism, and the radical idea that bitcoin is for everyone.

Yet when he helps launch 21 Capital, we don't see innovation - we see betrayal. When he navigates regulatory requirements to build products that can actually reach mainstream adoption, we don't see pragmatism - we see capitulation.

The Scarred Perspective

Our skepticism isn't entirely unfounded. We've been burned before. Mt. Gox, FTX, Three Arrows Capital, Celcius, Terra/ LUNA, BlockFi, Bitconnect, Voyager, QuadrigaCX - the graveyard of Bitcoin is littered with the corpses of trusted institutions. We've learned, painfully, that trust must be earned and verified.

But somewhere along the way, our healthy skepticism has metastasized into destructive paranoia. We've become so focused on protecting ourselves from the next SBF that we're attacking the people building the future we claim to want.

I'm guilty of this myself. I've made scathing attacks on my Nostr feed, comparing Jack to SBF, scrutinising contract clauses about re-hypothecation, and questioning his every move privately. I was viewing his actions through the lens of collective trauma rather than the reality of his long track record.

The Looters Paradox

Here's the uncomfortable truth: we're not just passive observers in this drama. We're active participants. We're the looters.

In Atlas Shrugged, the looters don't necessarily steal directly. They steal time, energy, and focus. They create bureaucracy, demnd endless justification, and burden the productive with the weight of constant explanation. They don't build competing products - they just tear down what others have built.

Everytime we demand Jack explain his business model for the hundredth time, we're stealing his time. Every time we scrutinize his partnerships without offering alternatives, we're creating bureaucracy . Everytime we attack his character rather than his arguments, we're furthering the system we claim to oppose.

The free market will create products whether we like them or not. People will build services that use bitcoin as collateral, create lending products, and navigate regulatory frameworks. The question isn't whether these products will exist - it's whether they'll be built by people who share our values or by those who don't.

The Atlantis Risk

The producers eventually withdraw from society in Atlas Shrugged, retreating to Galt's Gulch (Atlantis) and leaving the looters to face the consequences of their destructive behaviour. The economy collapses because the people who actually build things decided it wasn't worth the hassle anymore.

We're walking dangerously close to this precipice in Bitcoin. We're creating an environment where our most capable builders might just decide it's not worth it. Where the hassle of dealing with our constant scrutiny and bad-faith attacks outweighs the mission of building the future.

Jack has been more patient with our criticism than we deserve. He's addressed concerns publicly, changed the course when necessary, and continued building despite the noise. But patience has limits. At some point, even the most mission-driven builders will ask themselves: "Why am I doing this?"

The Path Forward

I don't know enough about finance to fully understand everything Jack is building with 21 Capital. Neither do most of his critics. But I know enough about Bitcoin to recognise someone who's been fighting the good fight for over a decade.

This doesn't mean we should trust blindly. It doesn't mean we should stop asking questions or demanding transparency. But it does mean we should approach our builders with the same benefit of the doubt we'd want for ourselves.

We need to distinguish between healthy skepticism and destructive paranoia. Between holding people accountable and tearing them down. Between being vigilant and being looters.

The fiat system is the real enemy here. It's massive, entrenched, and infinitely resourcesful. It will adapt, co-opt, and corrupt everything it touches. Fighting it requires builders who are willing to get their hands dirty, navigate imperfect systems, and make pragmatic compromises while holding onto their core values.

We can continue to be looters, tearing down what we don't understand and driving our best builders toward their own version of Atlantis. Or we can be what we claim to be: supporters of the free market, believers of proof of work, and champions of those building the future.

Don't trust. Verify. But remember: verification works both ways.

Just 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 Typ application/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 Events
• pubkey: Der Pubkey des Urhebers des Events
• created_at: Der Zeitstempel des Events
• kind: Der Typ des Events
• tags: Zusätzliche Metadaten für das Event können in diesem Array hinterlegt werden
• content: Der textuelle Inhalt eines Events
• sig: 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?

Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón[a] (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈfɾiða ˈkalo]; 6 July 1907 – 13 July 1954[1]) was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self-portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico. Inspired by the country's popular culture, she employed a naïve folk art style to explore questions of identity, postcolonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society.[2] Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. In addition to belonging to the post-revolutionary Mexicayotl movement, which sought to define a Mexican identity, Kahlo has been described as a surrealist or magical realist.[3] She is also known for painting about her experience of chronic pain.[4]

The 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.

What is the Fiat System and How Do Central Banks Set Interest Rates?

When central banks expand credit, they often increase the money supply by creating new money through mechanisms like quantitative easing (QE). For instance, a central bank may purchase government bonds, injecting money into the economy. This boosts liquidity but can lead to inflation when too much money chases limited goods and services.

Low interest rates make borrowing cheaper, encouraging spending and investment. However, this can overheat the economy, create speculative bubbles (e.g., in real estate), and drive inflation. Conversely, high interest rates restrict borrowing, slow the economy, and curb inflation but may trigger recessions.

How Would Interest Rates Work Under a Bitcoin Standard?

Under a Bitcoin standard, the money supply is fixed—only 21 million bitcoins will ever exist, with the last one mined around 2140. Unlike the fiat system, no central authority can manipulate the money supply or set interest rates. Instead, interest rates would be determined entirely by the market—by the supply and demand for capital.

If someone wants to borrow bitcoins, the interest rate would depend on negotiations between the lender and borrower. For example, if demand for loans is high and available bitcoins are scarce, interest rates would rise. Conversely, if there are ample bitcoin savings, rates might fall. This process would be fully decentralized and reflect real market conditions, not central bank decisions.

Since new bitcoins cannot be “printed,” there would be no inflation caused by an expanding money supply. Instead, bitcoin’s value would likely rise over time (deflation) as its fixed supply competes with growing demand. This could encourage saving over reckless spending, reshaping economic behavior.

Advantages of a Bitcoin Standard

1. Protection Against Inflation: Bitcoin’s fixed supply prevents currency devaluation, a common issue with fiat money. This safeguards savings and promotes long-term planning.

2. Decentralization: Without a central bank manipulating the market, economic decisions are made by individuals, not bureaucrats. This aligns with free-market principles where competition and innovation thrive.

3. Transparency and Security: The Bitcoin blockchain is public and immutable, ensuring transactions are transparent and secure from tampering.

4. Financial Freedom: Under a Bitcoin standard, individuals have full control over their money without government or bank interference, which is especially crucial in countries with unstable regimes or currencies.

5. Discipline in Lending: Without the ability to print money, lenders would be more cautious, reducing risky investments and speculative bubbles.

Potential Drawbacks and Why a Bitcoin Standard is Superior

One major argument against a Bitcoin standard is that it could slow economic growth. Low interest rates in the fiat system encourage borrowing and spending, driving economic activity. Under a Bitcoin standard, where interest rates are market-driven and likely higher, borrowing would be costlier, potentially limiting investments in new projects.

However, this critique misses a key point: economic growth fueled by artificially low interest rates and money printing is often unsustainable. It leads to debt crises, inflation, and bubbles that eventually burst, as seen in 2008. A Bitcoin standard promotes healthy economic discipline, where investments are based on real value, not artificial capital.

Moreover, bitcoin’s deflationary nature could shift how people view money. Instead of chasing endless growth, societies might prioritize sustainability, innovation, and efficiency. This could lead to a more stable and equitable economy in the long run.

Additional Considerations

A Bitcoin standard could transform global trade. Today, countries with fiat currencies often manipulate exchange rates to gain trade advantages. With bitcoin as a universal currency, such manipulations would vanish, fostering fairer competition.

Another aspect is energy efficiency. While bitcoin mining consumes energy, it incentivizes the development of renewable sources as miners seek cheap, sustainable energy. This could accelerate the transition to a green economy.

Conclusion

The Bitcoin standard offers a vision of an economy rooted in sound money, free markets, and financial freedom. While it may slow certain aspects of economic growth, it creates a more stable and sustainable system that protects individuals from inflation and centralized control. In a world where trust in institutions is waning, the Bitcoin standard is a step toward a fairer and more transparent future.

ย้อนกลับไปเมื่อไม่กี่ปีที่ผ่านมา… 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

BTCPay Server: The Backbone of Bitcoin Commerce, 2025

The genesis story of BTCPay Server is without a doubt one of the most iconic moments in Bitcoin history. A single developer, feeling betrayed by Bitpay, a bitcoin payments processing giant and its attempt at co-opting Bitcoin, declared economic war on the company in a tweet that will never be forgotten by the Bitcoin industry; “This is lies, my trust in you is broken, I will make you obsolete.”

Nicolas Dorier went on to create one of the most widely distributed open source projects in the Bitcoin industry and perhaps the invoicing and payments industry as a whole: BTCPay Server. Much has been written about the context and motivation behind Dorier’s founding of the project — there’s even a documentary about it. 

What’s seldom highlighted is how ambitious a project BTCPay Server is, how feature-rich it has become and how deeply integrated it is with the industry. In fact, it is easy to forget that as an open source project with no centralized database of users, BTCPay Server is both a massive privacy upgrade for its users and represents the removal of a fundamental middleman processing payments. As a result, Dorier and the BTCPay Server community have created a public goods infrastructure — a kind of commons of payment processing — that provides users real value by saving them fees, and providing them a much smoother user experience given that no personal information is required for the payments to flow.

Humbly described on their website as “a self-hosted, open-source cryptocurrency payment processor,” BTCPay Server is an invoicing and accounting system for merchants, a fully featured Bitcoin wallet with full node capabilities; on-chain, Lightning Network and Liquid Network support; hardware wallet support; and a modular plugin system. The plugins in particular extend the core of BTCPay Server into a wide range of niches. They also integrate into e-commerce giants such as WooCommerce and Shopify. 

It is somewhat difficult to gauge the success and scope of BTCPay Server. Because it is a self-hosted platform that does not capture customer data of any kind — it has no central cloud service as other payment processors do — our view into its success is somewhat limited. 

However, we can get a sense of their reach by proxy of other metrics, for example, their primary software repository has had over 170 open source contributors, with 8,393 commits at the time of writing. 

As of 2025, BTCPay Server has had one million downloads directly from its GitHub repository, which does not account for cloud providers of the software as hosted by companies like Voltage or Lunanode. It is also often the case that one instance of BTCPay Server serves multiple merchants and hosts multiple stores simultaneously. 

R0ckstardev, one of the top contributors to the project, told Bitcoin Magazine that there could be hundreds of thousands of instances of BTCPay Server running throughout the world. Tobe Chileta, a contributor to the project, also told Bitcoin Magazine that “of the seven continents of the world, I think it is only Antarctica that I haven’t seen someone run BTCPay server.” He added, “I’m certain we have merchants running in Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Europe and Australia.”

Companies

BTCPay Server’s website business directory, while far from exhaustive, covers hundreds of merchants onboarded. The BTCPay Server community also does regular case studies of user cohorts or major merchants that use the software, documenting their integration and story in their case studies page. It gives fantastic insights into a variety of Bitcoin communities throughout the world and includes useful guides on how to replicate various results and implementations.

Namecheap, for example, boasted over 70 million dollars’ of bitcoin volume since their integration of BTCPay Server. From May 18, 2020, to October 2024 they clocked in 1.1m transactions in total with over 500,000 users paying in bitcoin, resulting in over $73 million in revenue through payments made from over 200 countries. 

BTC Inc, the parent company of the biggest Bitcoin conference in the world, has for years been setting up BTCPay Server for its merchants, and even has a one-hour behind-the-scenes documentary on the complexities of setting up dozens of merchants at a conference (filmed during the Nashville 2024 Bitcoin conference). The event saw over 25,000 attendees, including the 47th president of the U.S., Donald J. Trump.

In this most recent Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, BTCPay Server was used to process a new world record of Bitcoin transactions within an eight-hour period, with 4,187 transactions in total. The initial target was 4,000 transactions and was set by the Guinness World Records organization. 

Integrations and Plugins

One of the most important dimensions of BTCPay Server is its plugin system. Given the wide variety of ways companies can interact with Bitcoin, the developer community has optimized the BTCPay Server code toward a plugin model that developers can build for with a well-documented set of GitHub repos and an API. Today there are over 30 plugins available on BTCPay Server. Here are some of the greatest hits:

Boltz Swap Exchange Plugin

Boltz is an atomic swap exchange focused on the various Bitcoin layers such as Liquid, Lightning, Rootstock and of course Bitcoin on-chain. It has gained prominence of late as a very simple solution to the channel rebalancing challenges Lightning wallets face. R0ckstardev told Bitcoin Magazine that he is particularly impressed with the Boltz integration, and even tweeted as much earlier this year. 

I've recently been going through the code of @Boltzhq plugin for @BtcpayServer, what jackstar12 & @kilrau have done there is an absolutely l33t engineering.

It's a literal crime against humanity that what they've done was not featured more in Bitcoin media.

— Uncle Rockstar Developer (@r0ckstardev) April 24, 2025

Branded as a noncustodial Bitcoin Bridge, Boltz allows users to swap between different Bitcoin layers while retaining maximum control of their funds, using atomic swap technology that eliminates third-party trust across crypto-native payments. For example, you can use Boltz via BTCPay Server to make a Lightning payment, where the sats are initially held at rest in a Liquid network wallet and are pulled from that balance by the Boltz plugin. The L-BTC is atomically swapped for sats on the Lightning Network via the Boltz exchange and the satoshis flow to the end recipient. This whole process is effectively noncustodial.

This is the same type of “lightning service provider” style infrastructure with which Breez wallet recently announced integration. While it is not quite as cheap as a user-operated Lightning node can be in the best of cases, it is far easier to set up and run — only demanding a few clicks on the BTCPay Server interface. As far as BTCPay Server is concerned, this Boltz plugin represents a full Lightning node, integrating natively with the invoicing and accounting layers. 

This tech also scales quite well: One BTCPay Server admin can support many different merchants and not even have to run or manage a standard Lightning node, since the plugin supports automated liquidity management. 

The Bolt Cards Plugin

The Bolt card, a company and product created by the Coincenter exchange, has come into prominence recently thanks to its unique graphics and the laser-eyes that light up on tap-to-pay. They, too, have a BTCPay Server plugin that lets users manage and connect these cool NFC cards to their wallets via the plugin.

5/27/2025, 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.

Sati will be conducting live product demos at Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas on May 27-29. To learn more about Sati, visit sati.pro

Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy, has stirred up the Bitcoin community with his recent comments on proof-of-reserves, calling it a “bad idea” that puts institutional security at risk.

Speaking at a side event at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, Saylor expressed strong concerns about the security implications of on-chain proof of reserves (PoR), a method used by many bitcoin companies to show they actually hold the assets they claim.

“The conventional way of issuing proof of reserves today is actually insecure,” Saylor said.

“It actually dilutes the security of the issuer, the custodians, the exchanges and the investors. It’s not a good idea, it’s a bad idea.”

Proof-of-reserves is a process where companies with bitcoin reserves share public wallet addresses or use cryptographic methods to prove how much bitcoin they hold.

This practice gained popularity after the collapse of major exchanges like FTX and Mt. Gox to build trust through transparency.

Many big players in the digital asset space, including Binance, Kraken, OKX and asset manager Bitwise, have adopted PoR to reassure users and stakeholders.

Related: Bitwise Announces On-Chain Address, Donations Go to Shareholders

Saylor’s objections boil down to two main points.

First, he believes publishing wallet addresses creates serious security risks. By exposing institutional wallet structures, companies may open themselves up to attacks from hackers, hostile governments or malicious actors.

“[It’s like] publishing the address and the bank accounts of all your kids and the phone numbers of all your kids and then thinking somehow that makes your family better,” Saylor said.

“(It becomes) an attack vector for hackers, nation-state actors, every type of troll imaginable.”

He even asked the audience to try a thought experiment:

“Go to AI, put it in deep think mode and then ask it ‘what are the security problems of publishing your wallet addresses?’ and ‘how might it undermine the security of your company over time’ … It will write you a book. It will be fifty pages of security problems.”

Second, Saylor pointed out that proof of reserves only shows what a company owns, not what it owes. In his view, that’s incomplete.

“It’s proof of assets that is insecure, and it is not proof of liabilities… So you own $63 billion worth of bitcoin—do you have a hundred billion dollars of liabilities?” he asked rhetorically.

For large institutions and investors, this view of financial health is not enough.

Instead of publishing wallet addresses, Saylor thinks the better approach is to use institutional-grade audits by trusted firms.

“The best practice… would be to have a Big Four auditor that checks to make sure you actually have the bitcoin, then checks to make sure the company hasn’t rehypothecated or pledged the bitcoin,” he said.

“Then you have to wash it through a public company where the CFO signs, then the CEO signs, then the chairman and all the outside directors are civilly and criminally liable for it.”

He believes the legal consequences of corporate auditing — including prison time for fraud under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act — are stronger than cryptographic proof alone.

He did admit that a more secure, future version of PoR might be possible if it involved zero-knowledge proofs that protect wallet privacy while still confirming ownership.

Not everyone agrees with Saylor’s opinion. While some praised his focus on security, others accused Saylor of hiding something.

Speculations resurfaced about whether Strategy truly holds all the bitcoin it claims, or if it’s involved in so-called “paper bitcoin” — claims to BTC without physical backing.

Others pointed out that exchanges like Kraken and asset managers like Bitwise have implemented PoR systems without major breaches.

In 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!“

Semler Scientific Acquires 185 Bitcoin, Increasing Total Holdings to 4,449 BTC

Today, Semler Scientific announced it has increased its Bitcoin holdings. The company acquired 185 Bitcoin between May 23 and June 3 for $20 million with an average purchase price of $107,974 per Bitcoin, using proceeds from its at-the-market (ATM) offering program.

JUST IN: Public company Semler Scientific purchases an additional 185 #bitcoin for $20 million. pic.twitter.com/Iir6NiNzc8

— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) June 4, 2025

“We continue to accretively grow our bitcoin arsenal using operating cash flow and proceeds from debt and equity financings,” said the chairman of Semler Scientific Eric Semler. “And we are excited to launch the Semler Scientific dashboard today on our website to provide the public with regularly updated information on our bitcoin holdings and other key metrics.”

Since launching the ATM program in April 2025, Semler has raised approximately $136.2 million under the sales agreement of over 3.6 million shares of its common stock.

As of June 3, 2025, Semler holds 4,449 Bitcoin which were acquired for an amount of $410.0 million, with an average purchase price of $92,158 per Bitcoin. At the time of writing, the market value of these holdings is around $446.2 million.

Eric Semler on X posted, “SMLR acquires 185 Bitcoins for $20 million and has generated BTC Yield of 26.7% YTD. Now holding 4,449 $BTC.”

$SMLR acquires 185 #Bitcoins for $20 million and has generated BTC Yield of 26.7% YTD. Now holding 4,449 $BTC.

— Eric Semler (@SemlerEric) June 4, 2025

Semler Scientific uses the BTC Yield as a key performance indicator (KPI) to help assess the performance of its strategy of acquiring Bitcoin. As of year-to-date, the company has achieved a BTC Yield of 26.7%.

“Semler Scientific believes this KPI can be used to supplement an investor’s understanding of Semler Scientific’s decision to fund the purchase of Bitcoin by issuing additional shares of its common stock or instruments convertible to common stock,” stated the 8-K form.

In Q1 FY2025, Semler Scientific reported a difficult quarter. Revenue came in at $8.8 million, a 44% decrease year-over-year. Operating expenses jumped to $39.9 million from $8.9 million last year, mainly due to a $29.8 million contingent liability tied to the potential settlement with the DOJ. This led to a $31.1 million operating loss, compared to a $7.0 million profit in Q1 2024.

“Our healthcare business is seeing green shoots from the cardiovascular product line that we introduced to our large enterprise customer base this year,” said the CEO of Semler Scientific  Doug Murphy-Chutorian. “We are expecting growth and cash generation from these FDA-cleared products and services, which will add to our bitcoin treasury strategy.”

If you’ve ever found yourself confused by how much love is present in your marriage but still feel emotionally disconnected, this post is for you. If you're a man trying to understand why your efforts at connection don’t seem to land, this post is for you too. There’s a hidden variable affecting many modern marriages, one that’s rarely talked about. It might not only explain the emotional dissonance you’ve been feeling, but also offer a path to deeper connection, restored emotional vitality, and greater intimacy. What you discover here may change everything, for both of you.

The Comfort/Excitement Balance To Attraction

To understand why the balance between comfort and excitement matters so much in relationships, especially for women,we need to look beneath cultural narratives and into biology. This isn't about blaming anyone, it's about revealing a deeper structure most people have never been shown. If you’ve ever wondered why emotional or sexual connection can fluctuate in intensity even when love is constant, the answer often lies in your nervous system. Your biology plays a bigger role than you think.

What we're about to explore isn't a theory. It's the result of millions of years of evolutionary adaptation. Female nervous systems are built differently than male ones, not just in how they process emotions, but in how they respond to sensory input, bonding cues, and stimulation. These differences are crucial to understanding why certain dynamics succeed or fail in marriage.

Most women have a significantly higher demand for sensory and emotional stimulation. This isn't conjecture, it's a physiological consequence of female neurobiology. Estrogen enhances sensory receptivity, and women's skin has more nerve endings and finer spatial resolution than men's. Combined with hormonal modulation of emotional states, this results in a heightened need for both physical and emotional engagement.

Some of that need is biologically satisfied through caring for children, which provides a form of continuous low-level stimulation. But in the absence of children or outside of maternal bonding, that same physiological mechanism still demands input. This is where the husband comes in. He must not only provide security and predictability (comfort), but also novelty, dominance, and emotional friction (excitement) to sustain mutual engagement.

So the comfort/excitement tension isn't just a social preference or cultural trope. It's a necessary equilibrium in female emotional homeostasis. That 2:1 balance in either direction is about right, too much comfort and attraction decays; too much excitement and the system destabilizes.

What appears socially as "relationship dynamics" is, at root, a consequence of evolutionary strategies for reproductive success and pair-bond longevity. The reason the dichotomy exists at all is because the female nervous system demands it.

Autistic and Pseudo-Autistic Traits

Now, there's a complicating factor we rarely talk about: women on the autism spectrum. These women have the same underlying needs for sensory and emotional stimulation, but their ability to interpret, process, or even tolerate that input is compromised by their neurotype. This doesn’t mean the needs disappear. It means they’re harder to fulfill, even when the husband is doing everything right.

There's also a broader layer to this. Although autism is formally diagnosed in only 1-2% of women, many more display pseudo-autistic behaviors, symptoms that mirror autism but arise from a different cause: developmental deprivation. In our modern, sanitized, screen-heavy environment, many children, especially girls, are not exposed to the kinds of sensory, social, and environmental inputs their nervous systems evolved to process. Overprotection, lack of physical play, digital overstimulation, and reduced face-to-face interaction leave them under-calibrated for real-world complexity. As adults, these women often experience normal life as overwhelming, leading to social withdrawal, emotional volatility, and relationship breakdowns.

They aren't broken. They're untrained. Their nervous systems are underdeveloped in key dimensions because the environment didn't give them the calibration they needed during childhood and adolescence. This creates a large cohort of women who are not autistic in a clinical sense but present with very similar issues, especially in intimate relationships.

Signs of Under-Calibrated Nervous Systems

This can create serious distortions in the feedback loop of a marriage. The woman feels under-stimulated or emotionally disconnected, but because her husband’s signaling doesn’t land as intended, she may interpret the problem as his failure, not her filtering.

If her nervous system is already operating near a fight-or-flight threshold due to sensory overload, even normal masculine behavior, like assertiveness, protectiveness, or sexual pursuit, can feel overwhelming or even threatening. As a result, she may demonize traits she would otherwise find attractive. She’s not rejecting masculinity itself; she’s reacting to a distorted perception created by her overstimulated state. Meanwhile, the husband often understands something is off but lacks the tools to make it land.

So how can a man know if his wife might be neuroatypical or under-calibrated? Here are a few recurring patterns to look for:

• She gets overwhelmed by physical touch or sound, even in safe and intimate contexts.

• She has difficulty articulating emotional states or interpreting yours.

• She avoids spontaneity or novelty, preferring strict routines.

• She gets easily irritated by sensory input most people filter out.

• She misreads social cues and seems detached in emotionally charged moments.

• She experiences frequent shutdowns or emotional flatness, not just mood swings.

These aren't definitive on their own, but together, they can indicate that her nervous system is running a different decoding protocol. And crucially, many of these women are never diagnosed. They grow up masking, adapting, and internalizing their differences just enough to barely get by.

That can work when they’re younger, have more energy, and life is relatively simple. But once they marry and have children, the increasing complexity overwhelms their already underdeveloped coping mechanisms, and they crash out hard.

That crash can take a lot of forms: a mental breakdown, impulsive decisions like cheating or walking away from the marriage, or just a deep well of unhappiness that leaks into every part of the household. They might spiral into dissatisfaction and blame everyone around them, especially their husbands, not because those people are doing something wrong, but because the internal system can't handle the load anymore.

Advice for Husbands

This asymmetry can generate chronic resentment, even in otherwise loving marriages. It’s important for women in this position to recognize that their own neurology or environmental history might be interrupting the satisfaction of their needs, not that the needs don’t exist, nor that the husband isn’t trying. Awareness alone can reduce misplaced blame and help couples co-develop more precise, intentional forms of connection. The good news: once understood, it’s manageable.

If you're a husband facing this situation, and your wife is struggling to recognize the pattern, the best starting point is non-confrontational curiosity. Instead of making accusations or suggesting she's "on the spectrum," try something like: "I’ve been thinking about how different people process things, especially emotions and sensory input. Have you ever noticed if certain things hit you differently than they seem to hit other people?" This opens the door without assigning blame.

From there, introduce patterns you’ve noticed gently, using neutral observations rather than critiques. It might seem frustrating that you have to be so careful, but there’s a reason for it: if she’s already dealing with all the sensory and emotional overload we’ve described, she probably knows something’s wrong, and feels it deep in her body. Most women don’t do well with direct confrontation even when they’re calm. When they’re overloaded, it doesn’t just stress them, it triggers a defensive reflex. If you come in too hard, it sets up a "you versus me" frame instead of an "us versus the problem" one. The goal is to frame the issue as a shared mystery you’re solving together, not a personal flaw she needs to fix.

Interpreting Male Emotional Expression

One of the most commonly misunderstood aspects of male behavior, especially by women with sensitive or under-calibrated nervous systems, is how men express their emotions.

Men often discharge emotional energy through vocal and physical expression: yelling, speaking loudly, pacing, or making intense gestures. This isn't always, nor even usually, a sign of anger or aggression. Often it's simply how men process energy. Just as women cry to release emotion, men roar or shout to do the same. It’s not about control or threat. It’s about clearing the system.

The problem arises when a woman’s nervous system, already overloaded or poorly calibrated, perceives this masculine energy as danger. She may not distinguish between a man venting versus a man preparing to attack. And so even when the man is not directing his intensity at her, she responds as if her life is in danger. This is terrifying for her, and deeply invalidating for him.

That mismatch creates an emotional double standard. Society defends a woman’s right to cry, break down, and show emotional vulnerability, but often punishes men for expressing their emotions in loud, physical, or masculine ways, even when those expressions are non-threatening.

Telling a man he can’t raise his voice, speak with passion, or express raw emotion is just as harmful as telling a woman she can’t cry. It pathologizes his nature. And it disconnects him not only from his wife, but from other men, who rely on such expressions to assess trust and authenticity.

The most masculine men, the leaders, the fighters, the providers, tend to be the most expressive. They’re loud, boisterous, and full of life. And their energy isn’t just tolerated by other men, it’s respected. It’s how they signal alignment, honesty, and presence.

If you want to live with men, especially high-agency ones, you must train your nervous system to distinguish between male emotion and male threat. Just as a mature man learns not to interpret well meaning female tears as manipulation or danger, a mature woman must learn not to read male intensity as violence.

Trying to suppress male emotional expression doesn’t make the world safer. It just alienates the man, and makes it impossible to share a home, a marriage, or a life without fear.

Advice for Women

If you're a woman reading this and recognizing yourself in the descriptions above, the good news is that your needs are real and valid, but also more specialized. You're not broken, and you're not crazy. What you're dealing with is a miscalibration in your central nervous system, a mismatch between what it was exposed to growing up and what it's expected to handle now.

The good news is that, like physical training for an athletic event, your nervous system can be trained, too. You wouldn't expect to run a marathon without building up to it. Similarly, you can gradually increase your tolerance, flexibility, and capacity for stimulation and connection. Once you do, you’ll experience life, and relationships, in a much more joyful and manageable way.

And don’t expect this kind of advice from a doctor. Most of the medical and psychiatric systems aren’t trained to recognize these patterns as developmental calibration issues. They'll either dismiss it, medicalize it, or label it with something that doesn't give you tools. This is not a disease. It’s not a disorder. It’s a systems mismatch that can be recalibrated.

Here are some actionable steps you can take to begin recalibrating your nervous system:

• Get off screens and reduce electronic stimulation. Prioritize presence over distraction.

• Replace social media with real, in-person social contact, eye contact, voice, touch.

• Go outdoors. Natural environments offer complex, low-stress sensory input that recalibrates the nervous system.

• Reintroduce physical sensation through safe, voluntary contact, massage, swimming, dancing.

• Practice slow, predictable engagement. Routine doesn't mean sterile, it means safe repetition that expands capacity.

• Track what types of sensory or emotional input feel safe, tolerable, and enjoyable.

• Start incorporating nervous system-reset techniques like deep breathing (such as box breathing or 4-7-8 breathing) to calm your body’s baseline.

• Dry brushing can help desensitize the skin and improve sensory regulation over time.

• Replace harsh, flickering LED lights with high-quality, full-spectrum bulbs that don’t pulse, your brain tracks that flicker even when your eyes don’t.

• Make sure you’re sleeping enough; your nervous system needs recovery time as you recalibrate.

• Write down emotional states when you experience them and review patterns.

• Try scheduled intimacy, emotional or physical, so that it’s predictable and safe.

• Be open with your husband about what does and doesn’t work for you without assuming failure or intent.

• Consider a formal assessment for autism or sensory processing disorder; even if you don’t pursue diagnosis, the process itself can provide insight.

These are not just hacks, they’re physical, repeatable ways to build the capacity you’re missing.

Restoring Connection

Restoring that connection doesn’t mean becoming someone else, it means engineering your relationship and daily life around your real constraints, instead of fighting them. That’s how you get your needs met without burning down the trust and love already built.

So yes, balance is critical, but so is knowing when the system itself is misaligned and adapting accordingly. And it’s worth it. You can restore the kind of intimacy and love that both of you crave in your marriage. Don’t give up. Try everything. Work on it together. If you want help, this is what I do. I walk people through this process. I help them grow, not just emotionally, but neurologically. I help remove the emotional blocks that prevent people from doing the things we’ve described here.

If you don’t work with me, make sure you work with someone. Or work through it intentionally on your own. Life’s too short to live miserable, especially in your marriage. Don’t miss out on the depth of love and intimacy that’s possible. You can get there. And it’s worth the work.

The crypto platform had been aware of the data breach for months before the official announcement, internal sources reveal.

A Reuters investigation uncovered that Coinbase had been informed as early as January 2025 about a data breach involving outsourced customer support agents in India. Six sources familiar with the matter confirmed that the exchange knew sensitive user information had been compromised through its contractor, TaskUs, months before the formal disclosure in May.

On May 14, in a filing with the SEC, TaskUs documented part of the breach, in which an employee at its Indian office was caught photographing his work computer screen with a personal phone. Five former TaskUs workers confirmed that this employee and an alleged accomplice had been bribed by hackers to obtain Coinbase user data.

Coinbase had a long-standing partnership with TaskUs, a Texas-based outsourcing company, to reduce labor costs by assigning customer support functions to offshore teams. Since 2017, TaskUs agents handled Coinbase customer inquiries, often from lower-wage countries like India, where employees earned between $500 and $700 per month.

The financial impact of the breach

The exchange estimated that the breach could cost the company up to $400 million. In its May filing, Coinbase admitted it hadn’t fully grasped the extent of the attack until May 11, when it received a $20 million extortion demand. In response, the company terminated the TaskUs employees responsible for the breach, along with several other unnamed foreign contractors.

Marty's Bent

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

via CNBC

via Trending Politics

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.

via Bloomberg

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.

The 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.

پروتکل اردینالز در ژانویه 2023 توسط کیسی رودرمور معرفی شد. این پروتکل حاصل دو به‌روزرسانی مهم در بیت‌کوین است:

1. سگ‌ویت (2017): جدا کردن داده‌های امضا از بدنه تراکنش‌ها برای افزایش فضای بلاک.

2. تپ‌روت (2021): افزایش حریم خصوصی و انعطاف‌پذیری در تراکنش‌ها.

رودرمور با استفاده از این دو ویژگی، سیستمی را طراحی کرد که به هر ساتوشی یک شناسه اختصاص می‌دهد و امکان الصاق داده به آن را فراهم می‌کند. اولین اینسکریپشن رسمی در دسامبر 2022 یک تصویر پیکسلی از یک جمجمه بود.

اینسکریپشن چیست؟

اینسکریپشن به معنای «حکاکی» دیجیتال است و در اینجا به ثبت داده‌هایی مانند تصویر، ویدئو یا متن بر روی بلاکچین بیت‌کوین اشاره دارد. برخلاف ان‌اف‌تی های سنتی که اغلب فقط لینک یا متادیتا ثبت می‌کنند، اینسکریپشن‌ها کل داده را در بخش ویتنس تراکنش ذخیره می‌کنند و به یک ساتوشی خاص متصل می‌شوند.

پروتکل اردینالز چگونه کار می‌کند؟

پروتکل اردینالز به هر ساتوشی یک شماره منحصر‌به‌فرد می‌دهد و آن را غیرقابل‌تعویض می‌کند. مراحل اصلی آن:

1. شماره‌گذاری: به هر ساتوشی یک شناسه اختصاص می‌یابد.

2. اینسکریپشن: با ابزارهایی مثل ابزار داده به ساتوشی الصاق می‌شود.

3. ذخیره‌سازی: در بخش ویتنس با حجم حداکثر ۴ مگابایت.

4. مالکیت: از طریق کلید خصوصی قابل‌انتقال است.

سایت‌هایی مانند ordinals.com و ord.io برای مشاهده این داده‌ها توسعه یافته‌اند.

انواع اینسکریپشن‌ها

کاربران داده‌های متنوعی را روی بیت‌کوین ثبت کرده‌اند:

• تصاویر: از هنر پیکسلی تا عکس‌های شخصی.

• متن: پیام، شعر یا اسناد.

• ویدئو/صوت: نسخه‌های فشرده و کوتاه.

• بازی‌ها: نسخه‌های ساده مانند دووم.

مزایای اینسکریپشن و اردینالز

1. تغییرناپذیری: داده‌ها دائمی و مقاوم در برابر سانسور هستند.

2. ارزش ذاتی: هر اینسکریپشن به یک ساتوشی متصل است.

3. درآمدزایی برای ماینرها: افزایش تراکنش‌ها = کارمزد بیشتر.

4. کاربرد بیشتر بیت‌کوین: فراتر از پول دیجیتال.

5. امنیت بالا: بدون نیاز به سرور خارجی.

معایب و چالش‌ها

1. افزایش حجم بلاکچین: رشد حجم تا بالای ۵۰۰ گیگابایت تا مارس 2025.

2. کارمزد بالا: گاهی تا ۴۰ دلار در سال 2023.

3. پیچیدگی فنی: راه‌اندازی نود و ساخت اینسکریپشن ساده نیست.

4. اختلاف‌نظر: برخی معتقدند این کاربرد با فلسفه بیت‌کوین در تضاد است.

5. مقیاس‌پذیری: ممکن است شبکه را کند کند.

تأثیرات بر اکوسیستم بیت‌کوین

1. تأثیر اقتصادی

در سال 2023، بیش از ۲۰ میلیون اینسکریپشن ثبت شد. این روند در 2024 نیز ادامه داشت و منجر به شکل‌گیری بازار ان‌اف‌تی های بیت‌کوینی شد.

2. تأثیر فنی

ابزارهای جدید مانند کیف پول اسپرو و پلتفرم‌های معاملاتی مانند پلتفرم معاملاتی مجیک ادن توسعه یافتند.

3. تأثیر اجتماعی

جامعه به دو دسته تقسیم شد: موافقان نوآوری و مخالفان تغییر مسیر بیت‌کوین.

مقایسه اینسکریپشن و ان‌اف‌تی های اتریوم

| ویژگی | اینسکریپشن بیت‌کوین | ان‌اف‌تی اتریوم | | -------------- | ------------------- | --------------- | | محل ذخیره داده | روی بلاکچین | خارج از بلاکچین | | تغییرناپذیری | بسیار بالا | وابسته به سرور | | هزینه ساخت | متغیر (کارمزد) | متغیر (گس) | | امنیت | بسیار بالا | متوسط تا بالا | | انعطاف‌پذیری | محدود | بالا | | دسترسی | پیچیده | ساده |

تحولات اخیر (2024 و اوایل 2025)

• پس از هاوینگ: وابستگی بیشتر ماینرها به کارمزد و رشد اینسکریپشن.

• پشتیبانی صرافی‌ها: اضافه شدن قابلیت معامله در بایننس و کراکن.

• کاربردهای نو: ثبت اسناد قانونی، بازی‌های تعاملی و هنر دیجیتال.

آینده اینسکریپشن و اردینالز

چشم‌انداز آینده بستگی به:

1. پذیرش کاربران.

2. راهکارهای مقیاس‌پذیری.

3. رقابت با دیگر بلاکچین‌ها.

4. تحولات قانونی.

در بهترین حالت، بیت‌کوین به پلتفرمی چندمنظوره تبدیل خواهد شد.

نتیجه‌گیری

اینسکریپشن و پروتکل اردینالز فرصتی برای نوآوری در بیت‌کوین ایجاد کرده‌اند. اگرچه چالش‌هایی وجود دارد، اما پتانسیل این فناوری برای ایجاد دارایی‌های دیجیتال دائمی، غیرقابل‌تغییر و امن بسیار بالاست. آینده این ابزار به مسیر فنی، پذیرش اجتماعی و سیاست‌گذاری‌های جهانی بستگی خواهد داشت.

Imagina 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.

شروع ماجرا:

همه چیز از 1401 شروع شد، زمانی که به خاطر وارد کردن ضربات متعدد به بیضه توسط بسیجیان و لباس شخصی های جمهوری اسلامی و شروع درد مبهم و تیر کشیدن توی بیضه‌هام حس می‌کردم که با گذشت زمان شدیدتر می‌شد. اول فکر کردم یه چیز ساده‌ایه و خود به خود خوب می‌شه، اما با گذشت زمان متوجه شدم که این درد داره بدتر می‌شه که همون شب توی یازداشتگاه چندبار دکتر اومد بالای سرم و آمپول هایی برای کاهش دردم تزریق کرد و قرار شد بعد از آزادی به دکتر مراجعه کنم، اما چون فرصت مراجعه به دکتر رو نداشتم و کمی هم بیخیال بودم، این چک کردن دو سال طول کشید و در 1403 به دکتر مراجعه کردم

بعد از دو سال به دلیل اینکه میزان اسپرمم به شدت کاهش یافته بود و بیضه م داشت به شکل عجیب غریبی در میومد به پزشک مراجعه کردم، و بعد از انجام آزمایش سونوگرافی و اسپرم، دکتر سونوگرافی گفت بیضه چپم تخلیه شده، و علاوه بر اون رگ های خونی بیضه م هم آسیب دیده بوده که این یعنی واریکوسل گرید سه به همراه التهاب و ... که این یعنی سریعا عمل میشدم که حداقل بشه برای رگ ها و ورید های بیضه کاری کرد.

واریکوسل به وضعیتی گفته می‌شود که در آن وریدهای بیضه بزرگ و متورم می‌شوند، چیزی شبیه به واریس پا. این مشکل می‌تواند تأثیری بر کیفیت اسپرم و در نتیجه باروری داشته باشد و در گرید های بالا میتواند به عقیم شدن و عدم باروری منجر شود.

تصمیم برای عمل:

بعد از شنیدن تشخیص دکتر، خیلی ناراحت و نگران شدم. اما دکترم بهم اطمینان داد که با عمل جراحی می‌تونم این مشکل رو حل کنم. اولش خیلی ترسیدم، اما بعد از کلی تحقیق و مشورت با دوستان و خانواده، تصمیم گرفتم که عمل کنم.

زیر میزی قبل از عمل:

متاسفانه در ایران دکتر های جراح قبل از عمل درخواست واریز وجه به حساب خودشون یا دیگران(برای رد گم کردن و عدم شکایت بیمار) میکنند

روز عمل: استرس و آرامش

روز عمل فرا رسید. قبل از جراحی استرس داشتم، اما کادر درمان و خود دکتر  بسیار حرفه‌ای و دلسوز و مهربان بودند و حس اطمینان خوبی به من دادند. عمل تحت بیحسی از ستون فقرات و بیهوشی عمومی انجام شد و حدود یک ساعت طول کشید. وقتی به هوش آمدم، احساس درد نداشتم ولی تا چند ساعت از کمر به پایین بی حس بودم و حس خواب‌آلودگی داشتم.

نکته: بعد از عمل حتما آب، آبمیوه و اگر میتونید میوه و غذا بخورید!

دوران بهبودی: صبر و مراقبت

دوره نقاهت بعد از عمل، یه کم سخت بود. درد داشتم و فعالیت‌های روزمره‌ام محدود شده بود. اما با گذشت زمان، کم کم بهتر شدم و دردهام کمتر شد.

دوره بهبودی برای من حدود یک هفته طول کشید. پزشک توصیه‌هایی از جمله استراحت کافی، اجتناب از فعالیت‌های سنگین و مصرف داروهای مسکن برای کاهش درد داده بود. در روزهای اول کمی ورم و ناراحتی داشتم، اما به مرور زمان بهتر شدم. نکته‌ای که برای من بسیار مهم بود، که بعد از 6 روز سرکار برگشتم و شروع به فعالیت کردم، و بعد از یک هفته بخیه ها کشیده شد.

حدود یک ماه پس از عمل، دوباره به پزشک مراجعه کردم تا روند بهبودی بررسی شود. خوشبختانه همه چیز خوب پیش رفته بود و احساس سبکی و راحتی بیشتری داشتم. درد و حس سنگینی که قبل از عمل داشتم، کاملاً از بین رفته بود.

نتیجه‌گیری: چرا این تصمیم ارزشش را داشت

وقتی به گذشته نگاه می‌کنم، از اینکه تصمیم به انجام عمل واریکوسل گرفتم، کاملاً راضی‌ام. گرچه گرفتن تصمیم برای جراحی همیشه با ترس و تردید همراه است، اما تأثیری که این عمل بر کیفیت زندگی‌ام گذاشت، بدون تردید ارزشش را داشت. بعد از عمل، نه تنها از درد و ناراحتی رهایی یافتم، بلکه آرامش ذهنی بیشتری هم پیدا کردم. احساس سبکی و راحتی در فعالیت‌های روزمره، و از بین رفتن نگرانی‌هایی مثل احتمال ناباروری، باعث شد دوباره حس کنم به زندگی عادی برگشتم.

به همه کسانی که با واریکوسل درگیر هستند، پیشنهاد می‌کنم به بدن‌شان گوش دهند و حتماً از نظر پزشکان متخصص بهره بگیرند. هر کسی شرایط خاص خودش را دارد و تصمیم نهایی باید بر اساس بررسی دقیق و مشورت با پزشک گرفته شود. اما مهم‌ترین نکته این است که سلامتی‌تان را در اولویت بگذارید و اجازه ندهید ترس یا تردید، مانع رسیدن به بهبودی شود.

برای من، عمل واریکوسل مثل یک تولد دوباره بود. حالا با خیال راحت و بدون درد، زندگی می‌کنم و از این تصمیم مهم کاملاً خوشحالم. اگر شما هم با این مشکل مواجه هستید، نگران نباشید؛ با آگاهی و مشورت درست، می‌توانید آن را پشت سر بگذارید و به زندگی عادی خودتان بازگردید.

نکات مهم:

• اگر درد یا ناراحتی در ناحیه بیضه‌ها دارید، حتما به پزشک اورولوژی مراجعه کنید.

• از خود درمانی خودداری کنید.

• عمل واریکوسل یک عمل ساده و بی خطر است.

• بعد از عمل به توصیه‌های پزشک عمل کنید.
