The neon thrum of Roppongi streets hummed like a thousand electric guitars tuned to chaos—blade runners and briefcases, club kids and salarymen, all washed in the spill of red lanterns and LED strobes. I stumbled down the alley where the Bitcoin meetup was said to be, a strange little blip in the city’s endless digital heart. Inside, the air was thick with cigarette smoke and the crackle of ideation. A dive bar turned temple to the future, where revolutionaries sipped cheap beer and whispered dreams of decentralization. No suits here—just hackers in hoodies, expats with wild eyes, and a few lost souls looking for the edge of the map. “Do you even understand what this is?” a voice asked as I slid onto a cracked leather stool. He had a laptop open, the screen glowing like an altar. A white paper in one tab, a mining program running in another. A makeshift setup powered by caffeine and belief. I mumbled something vague about "digital money" and got a sharp laugh in return. “It’s not money, man—it’s freedom,” he said, taking a drag from a cigarette that seemed to burn faster with his every word. “No borders, no banks, no middlemen. Just the chain and the work and the truth.” The bartender, indifferent to our philosophizing, poured drinks with the precision of an algorithm. Behind him, a poster for a long-gone punk band clung to the wall like a relic from an analog age. Conversations swirled like smoke rings. One guy swore he’d just bought a thousand BTC for the price of lunch. Another was trying to barter to buy a burrito. Another was lamenting the cost of GPUs skyrocketing, “but it’s worth it, man—this is the future.” Someone in the corner was typing furiously, mumbling something about the Silk Road. I asked about Satoshi. “Who?” someone quipped, half-smirking. “No one. Everyone. The ghost in the machine.” And that’s what it felt like—a gathering of ghosts, of dreamers untethered from the weight of the past, spinning something entirely new out of bits and bytes. Dreamers fixated on an unseen future that may never come to pass. The energy in the room wasn’t just optimism—it was defiance. Hours blurred. Ideas ran faster than the beer. Someone handed me held up a flash drive, “just a few wallets, this will set me up forever.” I asked more questions. I ate mediocre nachos. I wondered aloud if this was all a simulation. By the time I spilled back into the night, Tokyo’s endless hum had softened to a lullaby, and the last train was long gone. I walked home, mind buzzing with blockchains and possibilities, wondering if the world would ever catch up to what I’d seen that night in Roppongi. And maybe it wouldn’t, not for years. But I knew one thing for certain: the future was already here—it just smelled like cigarettes and spilled beer. *Stay humble.

I saw the plebs, humble and defiant, tethered to screens in the blue light of dawn, eyes bloodshot, hearts blazing, fingers tapping keys, whispering truths to themselves: “21 million and not one more.” O you plebs of digital dreams, you fire-walkers with stacks of sats, tin cans for wallets, trading steel for sovereignty, bread for belief, as the world laughs from their granite towers. They called you fools! Hoarders of nothing, dreamers of orange suns, cartographers of a new financial frontier— “Where will your coins take you?” they sneered. But you held your breath through the chaos, the mountains of volatility, the typhoons of FUD— your hands forged in steel, unshaking, unbreakable. I see you in basements, in rented rooms, in coffee shops, whispering, shouting: “Not your keys, not your coin!” I see your spreadsheets scrawled in chicken scratch, your hardware wallets buried under mattresses, your mantras muttered: “Stay humble. Stack sats. Stay free.” Plebs! O divine misfits of the digital age, who have glimpsed the lie in the fiat dream, who laughed when they printed trillions of promises and called it “economics.” You who dared ask: What is money? You who saw value in blocks, time-stamped like gospel, immutable as stone tablets, a cathedral of ones and zeroes— sacred, incorruptible, unowned. O plebs! You who endure ridicule and rise again, who find beauty in scarcity and strength in decentralization, who say “We are early!” and “We are here!” barefoot prophets planting orange flags on digital plains. Hail to you! The unpaid evangelists of freedom, the poets of monetary revolution, the miners who light the path forward, the hodlers who refuse to kneel, who believe when others doubt, who build when others mock. Pleb, you are the heartbeat of the chain. A link unbroken, unbowed, unfettered. You are the howl in the dark— “We will not be slaves!” You are the signal in the noise, the orange light in the storm, the proof of work in a world of empty words. And when they ask you why— why you stared at this black monolith for years, why you stacked while they spent, why you chose Bitcoin— Tell them you chose freedom. Tell them you chose truth. Tell them you chose the only thing that cannot be printed, censored, or stolen. O pleb, when the dust settles, and the towers crumble under their own weight, they will know you were right. And you will have the last laugh, not for glory, not for spite, but for every silent dreamer who dared to believe. Stay humble. Stack sats. The revolution is you.

### The Revolution Is Already Underway The financial crisis of 2008 shattered global trust in a way no one saw coming. It exposed the fragile façade of traditional finance and left millions searching for answers—or alternatives. As banks and governments scrambled to restore the status quo, pulling familiar levers and reprinting the old scripts, a quiet revolution emerged. It wasn’t born in the halls of power but in the shadows of dorm rooms, coffee shops, and dingy apartments, carried forward by dreamers armed with code and an idea. For centuries, the system has favored the house. Feudal kings may be gone, but their legacy remains—monarchs replaced by suited gatekeepers whose games of value enrich a select few while casting long shadows over the rest. Yet now, for the first time in history, the little guy holds tools capable of rewriting the rules. All it took was an idea—revolutionary, ungovernable—amplified by the unstoppable force of network effects. Like the echoes of serfdom, the distractions of modern life keep people boxed in. Soap opera politics. Clickbait controversies. Talking points designed not to unite, but to divide. Friendships fracture over manufactured outrage, while those in charge sit above it all, quietly smiling. But in the shadows of all this noise, something remarkable was happening. The little guy wasn’t asleep. He was coding. He was building. He was imagining something better. What Napster and BitTorrent did to music—disrupting, decentralizing, unbundling—would inevitably come for money. The age-old rules of scarcity and value were suddenly ripe for reinvention. Peer-to-peer value transfer? No intermediaries? It sounded absurd. Until Bitcoin emerged. ### A Whisper Turned to Roar It began with obscure experiments: Bit Gold, early digital tokens, and playful forays into creating “digital scarcity” (a pet rock for the internet age). Intriguing ideas, yes, but incomplete. Then, in 2009, Bitcoin arrived—a mysterious white paper signed only by Satoshi Nakamoto. Was it a Ponzi scheme? A CIA experiment? A joke? Fifteen years later, Bitcoin has outlasted every critic’s imagination, eclipsing $100,000 in value. It didn’t happen overnight. Bitcoin didn’t explode onto the scene—it clicked, block by block, transaction by transaction. First, it was dismissed as nerd money, confined to anonymous forums and dusty hard drives. Then, as the world lurched through more crises and more headlines, Bitcoin became something else: a quiet hedge, a freedom machine, a digital gold rush. What started with hoodie-wearing coders became impossible to ignore. Today, Bitcoin sits in trust funds overseen by BlackRock and pension managers, quietly reshaping the global financial conversation. But the skeptics remain. “It’s used by criminals!” they say. “It has no intrinsic value.” Yet these arguments ring hollow. Any currency—gold nuggets, paper dollars, glass beads—can be exploited by bad actors. Criminals have always “criminaled.” To highlight the exceptions is to miss the point: Bitcoin’s fixed supply and decentralized nature make it unlike anything the world has ever seen. Meanwhile, Bitcoin miners—a global, tireless army—chip away at its finite supply of 21 million coins, while governments and institutions feverishly stake their claims. Some laugh. Others hedge. But ignoring Bitcoin at this point is a bet against history itself. ### The Loudest Doubts Are the Most Familiar We’ve heard this song before. Computers would never belong in the home. Amazon would never survive selling books online. Facebook was a fad for college kids. The iPhone—a $700 phone—was doomed to fail. Here we are again, with pearl-clutching skeptics and suits, raising their voices in the same sing-song chorus: Bitcoin is a scam, a pyramid scheme, a bubble. Yet Bitcoin keeps climbing up and to the right. “But it’s too late,” some say. Unless you are Satoshi Nakamoto, surely you’ve missed the boat. Every zero Bitcoin adds—$100, $1,000, $10,000—feels like a barrier. But history has a way of shifting perspective. Those same voices will echo again at $500,000 and beyond. ### The Digital Frontier We’ve watched industries fall to the digital wave: music, media, entertainment, retail. Why not money? If you believe the future will be more digital, not less, Bitcoin’s runway remains vast. Right now, its infrastructure isn’t fully built. It’s like the internet in 1993: clunky, obscure, still finding its way. Before email. Before browsers. Before smartphones put untold power in our pockets. Bitcoin is a glimpse of what’s coming. It’s the West before the railroads. The map before the cities. And if history is a guide, freedom and value will find their way to those bold enough to stake their claim. ### The Shift Already Happening Meanwhile, the world prints trillions, inflating away the value of savings and wages. Two pizzas once cost 10,000 Bitcoin. Today? Bitcoin buys cars, houses, islands. “But you can’t buy anything with it,” they say, ignoring tools like the Lightning Network, growing merchant adoption, and platforms where Bitcoin moves frictionlessly. Try buying groceries with your stock portfolio. You can’t. But you can sell it, just as you can Bitcoin. If this sounds like a manifesto, it is. If it sounds like financial advice, it’s not. It’s a moment in time—a snapshot of something big enough to shake the very foundations of value. Will Bitcoin collapse to zero? Will it soar to unimaginable heights? I don’t know. But I do know this: history favors those who think critically, who adapt, and who aren’t afraid to explore what’s next. You may laugh today, but you won’t be laughing when Bitcoin’s future becomes your reality. So do your research. Think for yourself. The revolution is here, and it’s only just beginning. Stay stacking. Stay foolish. **Oyl Miller** *If this resonated with you, please share far and wide.

## Amber 3.0.3 - Fix racing condition when using bunkers - Better pin entry screen - Add a close application config in the ui - Separate the service notification in a group - Always return a hex key for the get_public_key method Download it with [zap.store]( https://zap.store/download), [Obtainium]( https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium), [f-droid]( https://f-droid.org/packages/com.greenart7c3.nostrsigner) or download it directly in the [releases page]( https://github.com/greenart7c3/Amber/releases/tag/v3.0.3) If you like my work consider making a [donation]( https://greenart7c3.com) ## Verifying the release In order to verify the release, you'll need to have `gpg` or `gpg2` installed on your system. Once you've obtained a copy (and hopefully verified that as well), you'll first need to import the keys that have signed this release if you haven't done so already: ``` bash gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys 44F0AAEB77F373747E3D5444885822EED3A26A6D ``` Once you have his PGP key you can verify the release (assuming `manifest-v3.0.3.txt` and `manifest-v3.0.3.txt.sig` are in the current directory) with: ``` bash gpg --verify manifest-v3.0.3.txt.sig manifest-v3.0.3.txt ``` You should see the following if the verification was successful: ``` bash gpg: Signature made Fri 13 Sep 2024 08:06:52 AM -03 gpg: using RSA key 44F0AAEB77F373747E3D5444885822EED3A26A6D gpg: Good signature from "greenart7c3 <greenart7c3@proton.me>" ``` That will verify the signature on the main manifest page which ensures integrity and authenticity of the binaries you've downloaded locally. Next, depending on your operating system you should then re-calculate the sha256 sum of the binary, and compare that with the following hashes: ``` bash cat manifest-v3.0.3.txt ``` One can use the `shasum -a 256 <file name here>` tool in order to re-compute the `sha256` hash of the target binary for your operating system. The produced hash should be compared with the hashes listed above and they should match exactly.

**Table Of Content** - A New Dawn in Energy and Digital Asset Collaboration - The DEC: A Nexus for Constructive Dialogue - Support from the Corridors of Power - Harnessing the Power of Innovation for a Sustainable Future - Conclusion - FAQ In today's rapidly evolving digital age, the synergy between energy and digital asset mining, especially Bitcoin, is becoming increasingly significant. Enter the Digital Energy Council (DEC), a pioneering organization that has taken the bold step to bridge this gap. **A New Dawn in Energy and Digital Asset Collaboration** The DEC has made its grand entrance as the first member association with a laser focus on the crossroads of energy security and digital asset mining. Their mission? To lead the charge in crafting policies that not only promote responsible energy practices but also bolster the resilience of our energy grids. This is all with the aim of ensuring the United States remains at the forefront of this revolution, safeguarding national security. Tom Mapes, the Founder and President of the Digital Energy Council, highlighted a crucial point. While most discussions around digital assets have revolved around financial services, the potential collaboration between digital asset mining and the energy sector has been somewhat overshadowed. Yet, this collaboration is vital, especially at this crucial juncture of energy transformation. **The DEC: A Nexus for Constructive Dialogue** Envisioning itself as a central hub, the DEC aims to foster meaningful conversations among its members, policymakers, and regulators. One of its primary goals is to clear the air on various misconceptions surrounding digital asset mining, U.S. energy security, and the modernization of our energy grids. Moreover, the DEC is not just about discussions and policies. They're action-oriented. Their initiatives are geared towards spurring economic growth in often-neglected communities, including those in rural areas. How? By creating lucrative job opportunities in markets that haven't traditionally been associated with such roles. **Support from the Corridors of Power** The DEC's efforts haven't gone unnoticed. U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski, who led the first-ever hearing on the implications of digital asset mining for energy supply back in 2018, is among the first to join hands with the DEC. She emphasized how this burgeoning industry has expanded its footprint across the U.S. over the past five years, bringing fresh opportunities to states like Alaska. Echoing her sentiments, U.S. Senator from Wyoming, Cynthia Lummis, stated that crypto asset mining is poised to play a pivotal role in the financial future of the next generation of Americans. She believes that innovative mining technologies can tap into underutilized energy sources, creating jobs in rural America and generating wealth. **Harnessing the Power of Innovation for a Sustainable Future** The fusion of energy and digital asset mining is not just about economic growth or technological advancement. At its core, it's about sustainability. As the world grapples with the challenges of climate change and energy conservation, the role of organizations like the Digital Energy Council becomes even more paramount. The DEC recognizes the potential of digital asset mining, especially in the realm of Bitcoin, to revolutionize the way we think about energy consumption. By tapping into innovative mining technologies, we can harness underutilized energy sources, reduce wastage, and pave the way for a more sustainable future. Furthermore, the emphasis on rural America is not just about job creation. It's about ensuring that every corner of the nation benefits from this synergy, ensuring a balanced and inclusive growth trajectory. As we move forward, the collaboration between sectors, as championed by the DEC, will be instrumental in shaping a future that's not only prosperous but also sustainable. **Conclusion** The Digital Energy Council is more than just an organization. It's a movement. A movement that seeks to harmonize responsible energy practices with the world of digital asset mining. As we stand on the cusp of a new era, the DEC's efforts promise a brighter future, one where the nation's growth, security, and prosperity are at the heart of every initiative. **FAQs** **What is the Digital Energy Council (DEC)?** The DEC is the first member association focused on the intersection of energy security and digital asset mining. **What is the primary mission of the DEC?** The DEC aims to spearhead policies that promote responsible energy practices, enhance grid resilience, and ensure the competitive edge and national security of the United States. **Why is the synergy between energy and digital asset mining important?** This synergy is crucial for fostering responsible energy practices, bolstering energy infrastructure, and supporting energy sustainability and efficiency. **How does the DEC plan to dispel misconceptions around digital asset mining?** The DEC envisions itself as a hub for facilitating productive discourse among its members, policymakers, and regulators, focusing on themes like U.S. energy security, sustainability, and grid modernization. **That's all for today** **If you want more, be sure to follow us on:** **NOSTR: croxroad@getalby.com** **X: [@croxroadnews](https://x.com/croxroadnewsco)** **Instagram: [@croxroadnews.co](https://www.instagram.com/croxroadnews.co/)** **Youtube: [@croxroadnews](https://www.youtube.com/@croxroadnews)** **Store: https://croxroad.store** **Subscribe to CROX ROAD Bitcoin Only Daily Newsletter** **https://www.croxroad.co/subscribe** *DISCLAIMER: None of this is financial advice.

I wanted to share real quick something my daughter did that we were very impressed by. We were at an interactive kids' event. Our daughter was one of the younger kids at it, but there were a couple of younger ones. Towards the end of the event, she won some extra prizes. They were just a bunch of cheap little trinkets, but it was obvious that the other kids were jealous. I don't think she even noticed, and we certainly didn't say anything, but she immediately wanted to share her winnings with all the other kids. She walked all over the space looking for everyone, even kids who didn't know she had gotten the extra prizes, and gave a little bit to everyone. That certainly didn't come from either of her parents. Her instinctive generosity is all her. Are there any virtues you've observed in your kids that didn't obviously come from either parent? originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/813744

Welcome, friend. I hope this place becomes a space to pause, breathe, and reflect in the midst of the chaos of life and faith. If you’re here, there’s a good chance you’ve felt the weight of doubt in your belief, the kind that sits heavy on your heart, whispers in your mind, and makes you wonder if you’d truly be accepted if people knew your questions, especially when everything around you insists that belief without doubt is the only acceptable way to be. I get it. I’ve been there too. I’ve faced a lot of pressure: the pressure to get everything right, the shame that follows any hint of sin, and the isolation that comes with feeling like I’m not quite enough for God’s love—whether it was because of the mistakes I’ve made or the doubts that linger in my heart. It’s tough to be part of a faith tradition that values certainty above all else when you’re in the middle of a spiritual crisis or a season of question. For many of us, the church can sometimes feel like a place where doubt isn’t welcomed, where questions are viewed as weaknesses, or worse, a ticket to hell. But here’s what I’ve learned in the decade I stepped away from my church and my beliefs: **doubt doesn’t mean we’re failing at faith. It means we’re seeking something deeper.** ### Understanding the Pressure to Be Certain For many of us who were raised in conservative Christian settings, there’s often an unspoken (and sometimes spoken) expectation: doubt is not okay. The message we receive is that to be a "good Christian" means you must have unwavering faith, an unshakable belief that everything in the Bible is true, and absolute certainty in your relationship with God. You’re supposed to have all the answers, be sure of your salvation, and confidently declare your faith in the face of any challenge. But what happens when you don't have all the answers? When you question parts of scripture or the ways the church has interpreted it? When you wonder how a loving God can allow suffering, or how science and faith can co-exist? When you wonder if you're truly loved by God, or if your struggles disqualify you from His grace? There’s a lot of weight in these questions, and for a long time, I felt alone in them. After all, isn’t doubt something that should be avoided? Shouldn’t we be strong enough to push through and just believe? The church certainly didn't seem to be the place to clear this all up in my mind! ### The Reality of Doubt: You’re Not Alone The truth is, doubt is a natural part of the human experience. A study published in the Journal of Psychology and Theology found that 70% of individuals experience some level of doubt at various points in their spiritual journey. **Doubt doesn’t make you a bad Christian or a failure at faith—it makes you human.** The Bible is filled with examples of doubt. One of the most famous stories comes from Thomas, often referred to as "Doubting Thomas." After Jesus’ resurrection, when the other disciples saw Him alive and well, Thomas couldn’t believe it until he saw Jesus for himself and touched His wounds. When he finally encountered the risen Christ, Jesus didn’t rebuke him for doubting—He met him in the doubt. Jesus said, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe” (John 20:27, NIV). But Jesus doesn’t shame Thomas. No. He invites him to experience the truth, to see it for himself, and to believe in his own time and way. **Doubt is not a sin. It’s part of the journey of faith. Just like Thomas, we can bring our doubts to Jesus, and He will meet us in that place.** ### Acknowledging Doubt: A Step Toward Deeper Faith Sometimes we think that the right way to navigate doubt is to push it down, pretend it doesn’t exist, or cover it up with surface-level answers. We’re told that questioning our faith is a sign of weakness or a lack of commitment. But what if the opposite is true? *What if acknowledging our doubt could be the very thing that leads us to a deeper, more authentic faith?* In the book of Psalms, many of the writers express their doubts and frustrations with God. Take Psalm 73, for example. The psalmist, Asaph, begins by questioning the fairness of life: “Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked” (Psalm 73:1-3, NIV). Asaph openly doubts God’s goodness, and he questions why it seems like those who do wrong are thriving. But instead of running from his questions, he brings them before God, and by the end of the psalm, he expresses renewed trust in God's faithfulness (Psalm 73:23-26). Through this process of doubting and questioning, Asaph’s faith is refined, and he ultimately comes to a deeper understanding of God's justice and presence. When we acknowledge the doubt, we don’t weaken our faith; we make space for it to grow. True faith isn’t the absence of doubt—it’s the trust to keep going even when we don’t have all the answers. **What the Bible Says About Doubt** James 1:6-8 is one of the passages that many people turn to when discussing doubt in the context of faith. It says: > "But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do" (James 1:6-8, NIV). In these verses, James is addressing the process of asking God for wisdom. The context is not about the kind of doubt that questions God’s existence or love, but about a specific type of doubt: a lack of commitment or double-mindedness when it comes to asking for something from God. James is highlighting the importance of trust and consistency in prayer and faith. Now, this is where it gets tricky. It seems as though James is saying that any form of doubt disqualifies you from receiving God's wisdom, but what he’s actually pointing out is something deeper. The doubt James describes here is not the kind of doubt where you're struggling with your faith and trying to work through your questions. It’s a doubt that stems from being double-minded or divided in your loyalty—someone who isn’t fully committed to trusting in God's goodness and His ability to provide answers. In other words, James is addressing those who are unable to decide whether they trust God enough to act in faith, or whether they will rely on their own understanding. This isn’t about wrestling with questions of faith, but about refusing to fully trust God and expecting Him to give you what you ask for without truly believing He will. The warning here is that divided loyalty in your faith—being uncertain whether to trust God or rely on your own solutions—leads to instability in your life. ### How Does This Relate to Us Today? If we look at this in light of our own lives, the point James is making is incredibly relevant. It’s okay to have questions, to wrestle with doubt, and to not always have complete clarity. But if your doubt leads you to question God’s ability, goodness, or willingness to act, then you're not fully trusting in Him. If you approach God in prayer with a heart that says, “I don’t think He’ll really answer this, but I’ll ask anyway,” that’s the kind of wavering that James warns against. Faith requires a kind of consistency in belief: that God is good, He is listening, and He has the power to answer—even when you don’t understand how or when. What James seems to be saying is that doubt becomes problematic when it leads us to reject God’s goodness or power. It's not the occasional, fleeting doubt about one’s salvation or understanding of scripture that disqualifies us from receiving from God, but rather a refusal to commit fully to trusting God in our times of need.How Does This Relate to Us Today?

Doubt doesn’t make you a bad Christian or unworthy of God’s love. You don’t need to hide your questions. Instead of feeling guilty, recognize that doubt is part of your spiritual journey, and it’s okay to ask questions. When we’re honest about our doubts, we give God space to meet us where we are. **Engage with Scripture Honestly** \ Sometimes, we shy away from certain parts of the Bible because they challenge us or don’t make sense. But the Bible is full of complexity, contradictions, and depth—and that’s okay. Approach Scripture with curiosity and openness. It’s not about finding all the answers right away, but about engaging with the text and allowing it to speak to you in different seasons of your life. **Surround Yourself with a Supportive Community** \ Find people who are willing to walk with you through your doubts. If you’re struggling with questions, it can be incredibly helpful to talk with someone who has navigated similar struggles. Surround yourself with people who are willing to explore faith openly and who won’t judge you for questioning. **Embrace the Mystery of Faith** \ Faith is never about having all the answers. There will always be aspects of God’s character and His ways that remain mysterious to us. But instead of trying to solve every mystery, learn to embrace the mystery. Faith is trusting in the unknown, and sometimes the questions themselves are a beautiful part of the journey. **Remember That Jesus Loves You—Doubt and All** \ Above all else, remember that Jesus loves you deeply, no matter where you are in your faith journey. He isn’t looking for perfection; He’s looking for honesty. Just as He met Thomas in his doubt, He will meet you too. There is no shame in your questions—only an invitation to deeper trust and intimacy with God. Navigating doubt in a faith tradition that values certainty is hard. But remember, you’re not alone in your struggle. Doubt isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s an invitation to deepen your faith. Just as God met Thomas and the psalmist in their doubt, He will meet you where you are. Faith isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about trusting God with our questions. So, friend, don’t be afraid of your doubts. They don’t disqualify you from God’s love or His plans for your life. They are simply part of the beautiful, messy, and deeply human journey of faith. Take it one step at a time, and know that, like me, you are loved by God no matter where you are on your spiritual path. #blog #christian #christianity #spirituality

“Donna Donna” เดิมเป็นเพลงภาษาเยดิช (Yiddish) ชื่อ “Dos Kelbl” (The Calf) ประพันธ์ขึ้นในปี 1940 โดย Sholom Secunda (ผู้แต่งทำนอง) และ Aaron Zeitlin (ผู้แต่งเนื้อร้อง) สำหรับการแสดงละครเพลงชาวยิวในยุคนั้นซึ่งเป็นช่วงเวลาที่ทหารนาซีเร่งขยายอิทธิพลในยุโรป และชาวยิวในหลายพื้นที่เริ่มถูกจับกุมและส่งไปยังค่ายกักกัน แม้ว่าเพลงนี้จะไม่ได้เขียนขึ้นในภาษา ฮิบรู (Hebrew) แต่เดิมเป็นภาษา เยดิช (Yiddish) ซึ่งเป็นภาษาที่ใช้ในหมู่ชาวยิวแถบยุโรปตะวันออก อย่างไรก็ตาม การเชื่อมโยงเพลงกับความทุกข์ของชาวยิวในยุคนั้นมีเหตุผล เพราะเนื้อหาเพลงสอดคล้องกับสภาพแวดล้อมทางสังคมที่ผู้แต่งเผชิญในช่วงสงคราม เพลงนี้กลายเป็นสัญลักษณ์ของการต่อสู้เพื่อเสรีภาพในหลายยุคสมัย ไม่เพียงแต่สะท้อนชะตากรรมของชาวยิวในสงครามโลกครั้งที่ 2 แต่ยังแสดงให้เห็นถึงเสียงเรียกร้องเพื่อความเป็นอิสระและการไม่ยอมจำนนต่อความอยุติธรรมในระดับสากล ในปี 1956 นักแต่งเพลงชาวอเมริกัน Arthur Kevess และ Teddi Schwartz ได้แปลเพลงนี้เป็นภาษาอังกฤษและตั้งชื่อว่า “Donna Donna” โดยใช้ความหมายเดิมเป็นพื้นฐาน แต่มีการปรับเปลี่ยนเล็กน้อยในเรื่องของภาษา ตัวอย่างบางส่วนของการแปลครับ ภาษาเยดิช (Yiddish): ‎אַ פֿויגל האָט אַ פֿליגלען, אַ קאַלב דאַרף גיין צו שלאַכט.

This Week I immersed myself in Bitcoin from multiple angles-technical, societal and personal. The journey included a marathon 32-hours of listening to [Rabbit Hole Recap (RHR)](https://fountain.fm/show/VDaMppQRUBZioj2XkaLn), an essential resource for Bitcoin insights. It's worth noting that I started from the begining and plan to make my way through the whole catalogue. Marty and Matt's timestamps, along with contributions from their guests, served as my roadmap. Using Fountain to stream, I also streamed sats-a small but extraordinary feature that allows users to stacks sats while compensating cretors directly through fractional donations. ## Revisiting Speculative Attack by Pierre Rochard (2014) Now that [*Speculative Attack Season 2*](https://nakamotoinstitute.org/mempool/speculative-attack-season-2/) *(which I've not read yet)* has been released. I took the time to read Pierre Rochards influential essay, [*Speculative Attack*](https://nakamotoinstitute.org/mempool/speculative-attack/) and reflected on its timeless insights. Rochard argues that Bitcoin adoption isn't dependent on technological advancements or consumer preferences, but on economic realities. As fiat currencies weaken, Bitcoin won't enter the mainstream by persuasion but by necessity. Critics continue to underestimate Bitcoin's inevitability due to their fiat biases and lack of financial insight. This year alone, mainstream media has been compelled to discuss Bitcoin-notably to Trump's endorsement of 'crypto.' Despite their attempts to shape narratives to suit their ideal visions, they've had no choice but to engage with Bitcoin's growing influence.\ \ As Parker aptly puts it 'Gradually, The Suddenly' ## Wassabi Wallet and the Privacy Imperative An RHR interview (from early in the catalogue) with guest Adam Ficsor, CTO and Co-founder of Wassabi Wallet, sparked a deeper consideration of my digital footprint. Like many, I've spent years online neglecting privacy in favour of convenience. The discussion on CoinJoins reminded me of the importance of prioritising privacy, not just romanticising it. Improving operational security (opsec) is now a personal focus. Resources like Jameson's *Cypherpunk Cogitations* and the Bitcoin Optech newsletter offer valuable guidance. While I've exercised caution, I recognise a need to address my laziness with opsec and take meaningful steps to protect my privacy. Time will reveal the results of these efforts. ## Caribbean Slavery amd Centralised Platforms While exploring historical systems of control, I delved into the brutal realities of [New World slavery in the British Caribbean](https://aeon.co/ideas/how-did-slaveholders-in-the-caribbean-maintain-control). Enslaved elites, like drivers, were granted limited privileges to maintain order, creating divisions within the community. This divide-and-rule strategy highlights the fragility of oppressive frameworks, which began to crumble with events like the Hatian Revolution and humanitarian activism. Interestingly, similar dynamics are visible with centralised plaforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Verified accounts (the "blue checks") act as mordern day 'elites' with perceived freedoms. However, their autonomy is limited by the platforms centralised authority. Challenging the rules risks censorship and cancellation, proving their freedom is an illusion subject to the will of their overseers. Enhancing the argument further for protocols like Nostr to help people win back their freedoms.

I'm working with autistic teens and adults, and I still have the knee jerk temptation of orange pilling them. They do not have the ability to run a node. The central banking cartels and downstream effects of a control economy are so outside of their purview, that bringing it up would be ridiculous. But. I am here to help them gain independence. Sovereignty is a ladder and regardless of where someone is on the ladder, it would be my job to guide them into more of it. Not everyone can run a node, some people have intellectual disabilities, physical limitations and higher priorities. Funnily enough I think it would be easier than one might assume to run a node, I have a client who could do it and have a semblance of what it means. The client has the ability to work, and when he sees trump on the screen, he knows he's the president, and he knows politicians are liars. I have a few other clients that don't have the ability to work or take care of themselves at all. Running a node is plugging something into the wall, making sure the light is on, and attaching your wallet to it. I aint talkin about a lightning node btw I'm talking about core. It boggles my mind on what people find so insurmountable about running bitcoin core. I think it might just be people projecting their own bias or inserting their own objections the thing. Start9 and Umbrel can be set up by a loved one, an assistant or nurse can make sure the thing continues being on and that the internet bill is paid. Is it harder managing the persons Bank of America account or is it harder attaching a wallet to your node and leaving the thing on? Would be cool if I took one of these guys to a bitcoin meetup with a node in a phone and had them teach fools how to conduct a peer to peer transaction. Could even get real fancy, and have them send a freak some e-cash. When I was at bitcoin Miami an OG pulled me to the side and explained what a peer to peer transaction was using hand signals...... So here we are at another conclusion, Sovereignty is a ladder that every last human being on the planet should attempt to climb and regardless of the rung you find yourself in, don't let others pontificate about how you "can't" because its probably just them being retarded. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/810401

Japanese follows. 日本語はあとで。 This article is for the 14th day of [Nostr Advent Calendar 2024](https://adventar.org/calendars/10004) (relay blogging). The article for the 13th day was "[Open Sats 申請編](https://zenn.dev/konemono/articles/cb39fb7f302551)" (Applying for Open Sats) by mono-san. The article for the 14th day will be "[Nostrはじめました。](https://bewith.bz/?p=121)" (I started Nostr) by bro-san. # Thinking of Thingstr I've come up with an idea for Other Staff that I think is interesting (at least, for me), so I'm going to write about it. I actually wanted to show you the implementation and brag about it, but it's not solid enough to be implemented yet. The key idea is just “add a reaction to the WikiData ID”. ## WikiData There is a service called [WikiData](https://www.wikidata.org/). It is a knowledge base that provides structured data. You may be wondering what it is, but the important thing to understand here is that WikiData assigns identifiers to a fairly wide range of “objects” and “things”. So, if you can react to this, you can think of various applications just by thinking of it for a moment, right? For example, the anime series “There are too many losing heroines!” is assigned the ID `Q123819103`. The corresponding page is https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q123819103 . (NOTE: The canonical URI for entities on Wikidata is http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q1142841. This is in accordance with Semantic Web conventions, and is not https, but http. Also, this URI does not necessarily match the actual address of the correspnding web page. Just an identifier. In most cases, it will redirect). ## What can wd do? For example, what about a website that records your anime viewing history? You can record what you want to watch with 👀, what you've already watched with ✅, and your favorites with ☆. You can also express your “likes” for production companies, staff, voice actors, etc. In this way, you can see what a particular user likes. This could be a movie, a book, a comic, an author, music, an idol group, a place, or food (Someone likes pork cutlet `Q1142841`). The fact that you can record everything in the same framework is what makes it interesting. ## What form of event should it be recorded as? There is probably room for discussion about how to record this information in a concrete way. The simplest way would be to use NIP-25's "Reactions to a website" kind:17 (a.k.a. Makibishi). How about something like this? ```json [ ["i", "wd:Q123819103", "http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q123819103"], ] ``` Since NIP-73 has External Content IDs, it would be good if we could include WikiData here so that we could write `wd:Q123819103`. Actually, `isbn:` and other identifiers have already been defined, so it is possible to use the current NIP range to describe books (however, the authors do not have IDs. If we use WikiData as an ID, we can also describe reactions related to the author). Of course, it is not a matter of choosing one or the other, and it is also fine to add the ISBN tag at the same time as the WikiData tag for books. ## Search for recorded reactions So far, this is all very simple, but it would be inconvenient if we didn't include tags to mark subsets of reactions (for example, only those related to anime) so that we can query them together. When we try to create a site that is specialized for a certain purpose, we need to be able to extract the reactions that are necessary. On Wikidata, the predicate `wdt:P31` (instance of) is used to group together concepts that represent the same thing. For example, how about including this in the `l` tag? "There are too many losing heroines!" is a "Japanese television anime series (`Q63952888`)", so: ```json [ ["i", "wd:Q1142841", "http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q1142841"], ["l", "wdt:P31 wd:Q63952888"] ] ``` UPDATE(2024-12-15): rnurachue-san suggested that `#l` or `#L` might be better for labeling (the first version used `#a`). I think that's a good idea, so I've updated the article. nostr:nevent1qgswamu0rsela0kwhj87p24ueapxdp04vzz7ar0pp6lfyq923t3l02cqyr9786635s60ra0f973nwv2sln2l74lqx4twdlgxfz2jgevpvsgtc9zwn6d However, when you think about creating an anime website, you may want to query both TV anime and anime films. This makes things more complicated. "Japanese TV anime series (`Q63952888`)" is a subclass (subclass of; `wdt:P279`) of "Anime series (`Q117467261`)", which is in turn a subclass of "Anime (`Q1107`)". However, if you were to embed this hierarchy in each reaction, it would waste a lot of space. The following query will get all the superclasses of "Japanese TV anime series (`Q63952888`)", but there are 54 of them. https://query.wikidata.org/#%23%20Subclass%20hierarchy%20traversal%20for%20Q63952888%0ASELECT%20%3Fitem%20%3FitemLabel%20%3Fsuperclass%20%3FsuperclassLabel%0AWHERE%20%7B%0A%20%20%23%20Starting%20class%0A%20%20wd%3AQ63952888%20wdt%3AP279%2a%20%3Fsuperclass%20.%0A%20%20BIND%28wd%3AQ63952888%20AS%20%3Fitem%29%0A%20%20SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%20bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22%5BAUTO_LANGUAGE%5D%2Cen%22.%20%7D%0A%7D%0AORDER%20BY%20%3Fsuperclass%0A So, I think it should be okay for practical purposes to embed `P31`s of the reaction target. In other words, if you search for "anime series `Q63952888`" and "anime movie `Q20650540`", that should be enough. Fortunately, the conditions for single-character tags work with OR, so you can query multiple tags at once. we'll have to try it to see how well it works in practice, though. ## Discussion: Which kind should I use? So far we have considered using kind:17, but we have not yet decided whether it is a good idea to mix Thingstr events with reactions to web pages. Also, there may be a debate over whether to record regular events or addressable events, depending on the purpose of use. For example, if you want to record the transition of viewing results and impressions on an anime viewing site, you should use regular events, and if you want to maintain the viewing status, you should use addressable events. What do you think? ## Other ideas If we can react to Nodes on [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/) using the same framework, we might be able to create something like [Swarm](https://swarmapp.com/). Since the views you want to see will differ depending on the purpose, it would be good to create various sites while having a consistent way of recording. Wouldn't that be the most Nostr-like thing? ## Summary I discussed how to use WikiData and OpenStreetMap as an ID infrastructure and realize various check-in and review services with a unified data model by using them on Nostr. Please let us know if you have any feedback. Or why not try implementing it? ---- この記事は [Nostr Advent Calendar 2024](https://adventar.org/calendars/10004) の14日目の記事です。13日目の記事はmonoさんによる「[Open Sats 申請編](https://zenn.dev/konemono/articles/cb39fb7f302551)」でした。15日目の記事はbroさんによる「[Nostrはじめました。](https://bewith.bz/?p=121)」です。 # Thingstrについて考えた 面白そうな（と勝手に思ってる） Other Staff のアイディアを思いついたので、書いてみます。 本当は実装を持ってきて自慢したかったのですが、まだふわっとしていて実装に落ちていません。 コアになるアイディアは「WikiData の ID に対して、Reactionをつける」これだけです。 ## WikiData [WikiData](https://www.wikidata.org/) というサービスがあります。構造化データを提供する知識ベースです。 なにそれ？という感じですが、ここで大事なのはWikiDataはかなり広範な「もの」「こと」に識別子(Identifier)を付与している、ということです。 だから、これにリアクションできれば、ぱっと思いつくだけでもいろいろな応用ができそうじゃないですか。 例えば、アニメシリーズ「負けヒロインが多すぎる！」には `Q123819103` というIDが振られています。これに対応するページとして https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q123819103 があります。 （ただし、WikiData のエンティティに対する canonical な URI は http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q1142841 であることには注意が必要です。セマンティックウェブの作法で https ではなく http になっています。そして、このURIは必ずしもWebページのアドレス一致しません。大抵の場合はリダイレクトされます）。 ## なにができるの たとえば、アニメの視聴記録サイトはどうでしょう。👀は見たい作品、✅は視聴済み、☆はお気に入り、みたいに記録していく。制作会社、スタッフ、声優、...に対してLikeを表明したりできそうです。そうすると、あるユーザが何にLikeしているかわかります。 これが映画でもいいし、書籍、漫画、作家でもいいし、音楽でもいいし、アイドルグループでもいいし、場所でもいいし、食べ物でもいい（とんかつ `Q1142841` が好き、とか）。全部同じ枠組みで記録できるのが面白そうなところです。 ## どういうNostrイベントで記録する？ 具体的な記録の仕方には議論の余地があるでしょう。一番単純なのは、NIP-25の "Reactions to a website" kind:17 (Makibishi) を使う方法でしょうか。こんなのはどうでしょう。 ```json [ ["i", "wd:Q123819103", "http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q123819103"], ] ``` NIP-73にExternal Content IDsがあるので、ここにWikiDataを入れられるようにして `wd:Q123819103` と書けるとよさそうです。実は `isbn:` などはすでに定義されているので、書籍に関しては現行のNIPの範囲でもうまいことできます（ただ、著者にはIDが振られていません。WikiDataをIDに使うと著者に関するリアクションも記述できます）。もちろん、どちらか一方を選ぶというものでもなくて、書籍にはWikiDataのタグと当時にISBNのタグを付与しておいてもいいと思います。 ## 記録されたリアクションを検索する ここまではシンプルでよいのですが、リアクションの部分集合（たとえばアニメに関連するものだけ、とか）をまとめてクエリできるように、目印となるタグを入れておかないと不便です。ある目的に特化したサイトを作ろうとしたとき、必要になるリアクションが抽出できるようにしておかないといけません。 WikiData では `wdt:P31` (instance of) という述語で、ある概念が何を表しているかをグルーピングしてくれています。例えばこれを`l`タグとかに含めておくのはどうでしょうか。 負けヒロインが多すぎる！は「日本のテレビアニメシリーズ(`Q63952888`)」なので、 ```json [ ["i", "wd:Q1142841", "http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q1142841"], ["l", "wdt:P31 wd:Q63952888"] ] ``` みたいな感じで付与します。 UPDATE(2024-12-15): rnurachueさんからラベル付けには `#l` または `#L` のほうがよいかもという提案をいただきました。最初のバージョンでは `#a` を使用していました。そのとおりだと思ったので更新しました。 nostr:nevent1qgswamu0rsela0kwhj87p24ueapxdp04vzz7ar0pp6lfyq923t3l02cqyr9786635s60ra0f973nwv2sln2l74lqx4twdlgxfz2jgevpvsgtc9zwn6d ただ、アニメサイトを作ることを考えると、テレビアニメも劇場版アニメも両方クエリしたいこともありそうですよね。そうなると話が複雑になってきます。 「日本のテレビアニメシリーズ(`Q63952888`)」は「アニメシリーズ(`Q117467261`)」のサブクラス(subclass of; `wdt:P279`)で、それがさらに「アニメ(`Q1107`)」 のサブクラスになっています。ただ、この階層をいちいちリアクションに埋め込むのと大変なことになります。以下のようなクエリで「日本のテレビアニメシリーズ(`Q63952888`)」のすべての上位クラスが取れるのですが、54件もあります。 https://query.wikidata.org/#%23%20Subclass%20hierarchy%20traversal%20for%20Q63952888%0ASELECT%20%3Fitem%20%3FitemLabel%20%3Fsuperclass%20%3FsuperclassLabel%0AWHERE%20%7B%0A%20%20%23%20Starting%20class%0A%20%20wd%3AQ63952888%20wdt%3AP279%2a%20%3Fsuperclass%20.%0A%20%20BIND%28wd%3AQ63952888%20AS%20%3Fitem%29%0A%20%20SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%20bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22%5BAUTO_LANGUAGE%5D%2Cen%22.%20%7D%0A%7D%0AORDER%20BY%20%3Fsuperclass%0A なので、リアクション対象の`P31`を埋め込む、くらいで実用上は問題ないような気がします。つまり、検索するときに 「アニメシリーズ `Q63952888`」と「アニメ映画 `Q20650540`」を対象にすれば、十分では、ということです。幸い、一文字タグの条件はORで効くので、複数を並べて一度にクエリできます。実際にどのくらいうまく行くかはやってみないとわからないですが。 ## 議論: どの kind を使うべきか？ 一旦 kind 17 を使うことを考えてきましたが、Thingstr のイベントが Web ページに対するリアクションと混ざるのが良いことなのか、いまいち判断がついていません。 また、用途によって regular event で記録するべきか、それとも addressable event で記録すべきか、という議論もありそうです。 アニメ視聴サイトを例にあげるなら、視聴実績とか感想の変遷を記録したいならば regular event でしょうし、視聴の状態を保持したいならば addressable とするのがよさそうです。 どう思いますか？ ## 他のアイディア これと同じ枠組みで [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/) の Node に対してリアクションできるようにすれば [Swarm](https://swarmapp.com/) のようなものも実現できるかもしれません。 用途ごとに見たいビューは違うだろうから、一貫した記録の仕方を持ちつつ、色々なサイトを作ったらいいんじゃないでしょうか。それって最高にNostrっぽくないですか？ ## まとめ WikiDataやOpenStreetMapをID基盤として活用し、Nostr上でreactすることで、様々なチェックインサービス、レビューサービスを統一的なデータモデルで実現する方法について議論しました。フィードバックがあったら教えてください。むしろ実装してみてください。

На центральной площади Кургана установили цифровую проекцию говорящей головы Владимира Ленина, что вызвало неоднозначную реакцию в обществе. Инициатива, заявленная как способ почтения истории, стала поводом для оживленной дискуссии о приемлемости такого формата в современной городской среде. Проекция, выполненная с применением современных технологий, транслирует реалистичное изображение Ленина, которое, по задумке авторов, должно напоминать жителям об исторических событиях и фигурах прошлого. Однако, не все курганцы разделяют этот подход. Противники проекта выражают опасения, что такое изображение может восприниматься как попытка политической пропаганды и возрождения идеологий прошлого, которые многие считают неприемлемыми. Они также отмечают, что центральная площадь должна быть пространством для современного искусства и культурных событий, а не памятником прошлому. Сторонники проекта считают, что проекция является инновационным способом сохранения исторической памяти, который несет образовательный посыл и помогает молодым поколениям узнать больше о прошлом страны. Они подчеркивают, что это всего лишь цифровая проекция, а не настоящий памятник, и что такое решение соответствует современным тенденциям в городском дизайне. В настоящее время в городе проводятся общественные слушания, где каждый житель может высказать свое мнение по поводу проекта. Власти города, в свою очередь, заявили, что готовы прислушаться к мнению курганцев и внести коррективы в проект при необходимости. Установка проекции говорящей головы Ленина в Кургане стала катализатором дискуссии о балансе между уважением к истории и современным культурным ценностям. Дальнейшая судьба проекта будет зависеть от результатов общественного обсуждения. Мы продолжим следить за развитием ситуации и сообщать вам о дальнейших новостях.

Сегодня мы стали свидетелями открытия, которого Курган ждал десятилетия – культурно-исторического комплекса «Курганская крепость». Это не просто реконструкция старинных укреплений, а уникальный проект, объединивший прошлое и будущее, создавшее пространство для образования, развлечений и погружения в историю нашего края. Идея воссоздания крепости, существовавшей в XVII-XVIII веках, витала в воздухе давно, но только сейчас, благодаря современным технологиям и подходу к культурному наследию, она воплотилась в жизнь во всем своем великолепии. Комплекс расположен на историческом месте, где некогда возвышались деревянные стены и башни, и занимает внушительную территорию. Главной особенностью крепости является то, что на территории комплекса действуют иммерсивные театры, где разыгрываются сцены из жизни первых поселенцев, проходят ремесленные мастер-классы, где можно не только увидеть, но и попробовать себя в роли кузнеца, ткача или гончара. Виртуальная и дополненная реальность позволяют увидеть крепость в ее первозданном виде, “прогуляться” по улицам 17 века, стать свидетелем исторических событий, недоступных ранее. Специальные AR-приложения оживляют экспонаты, рассказывают истории людей, живших в то время. Кстати, комплекс построен с использованием современных экологически чистых материалов. Солнечные панели обеспечивают его электроснабжение, а система сбора дождевой воды – полив зеленых насаждений. “Зеленая” концепция - один из приоритетов проекта, позволяющий сохранить уникальную флору региона и минимизировать воздействие на окружающую среду. Научно-исследовательский центр: На базе комплекса функционирует современный научно-исследовательский центр, изучающий историю региона, археологические находки и культурное наследие. Это позволяет не только углубить знания о прошлом, но и обеспечить сохранность артефактов для будущих поколений. Отметим, «Курганская крепость» – это не только место для туристов, но и площадка для проведения фестивалей, концертов, выставок и других культурных мероприятий. Комплекс стал новым центром притяжения для горожан и гостей города, способствуя развитию творческого потенциала региона. В рамках комплекса также работают образовательные центры для детей и взрослых, где в интерактивной форме преподаются история, краеведение, ремесла. Уникальные методики обучения позволяют “прикоснуться к прошлому” в прямом смысле этого слова и пробудить интерес к изучению истории. «Курганская крепость» – это не просто историческая реконструкция, это проект будущего, демонстрирующий, как можно эффективно использовать современные технологии для сохранения и популяризации культурного наследия. Это инвестиция в наше будущее, в нашу идентичность, в понимание того, откуда мы пришли и куда идем. Мы будем следить за развитием комплекса и рассказывать вам о новых открытиях и событиях.

Written by **Acea Spades**, Caffeinated Tech Officer @ Conduit BTC https://primal.net/AceaSpades nostr:npub1xzrkzsrnr83vn7h0udq6tnapwpswy5equlrtkn3nu0e0anlmzynqne0qap Editing and feedback by **Eric FJ**, Caffeinated Operating Officer @ Conduit BTC https://primal.net/EricFJ nostr:npub10xvczstpwsljy7gqd2cselvrh5e6mlerep09m8gff87avru0ryqsg2g437 NIP-15 enables a new architectural paradigm in e-commerce. Every piece of data is distributed across a network of relays, adding resiliency and redundancy. Every piece of sensitive data is encrypted in-transit and at-rest, accessible only to Customer and Merchant. Communications and e-commerce activities use an inbox/outbox model across relays. This gives both the Customer and Merchant freedom to choose the digital environment for their shared activities. This also introduces a host of fun and exciting new issues, such as stale data, relay mismatches, unreachable Customers/Merchants, disappearing messages, and this pesky direct message checkout system. Platforms like Wordpress, Shopify, and Etsy have democratized the space of e-commerce, made it easy to onboard as a Merchant, and smooth to transact as a Customer. But these systems require centralized servers, siloed data stores, unclear third-party visibility, and possess no protocol-level mechanism for connection with a larger network. NIP-15: Nostr Marketplaces enables Merchants and Customers to transact directly using the Nostr protocol. It enables a resilient, decentralized presence of Products, and a way to purchase them. It adds privacy and encryption to all correspondence, automatically. Both parties gain the amazing features of Nostr, out-of-the-box. However, the current implementation of the protocol has much to be desired. Our team at Conduit BTC is focusing our efforts on resolving the shortcomings of the current system. Our mission is to push Nostr E-Commerce forward and help it evolve into a top-quality online retail experience for all. But to get there, we've got to do some housekeeping. Let's start with the checkout problem... ----------- # Checkout: A Problem The current state of Nostr E-Commerce is, to put it lightly, lacking in real-world viability. If I want to purchase a Product, my Nostr client sends a direct message to the Merchant. When they see the message appear, the Merchant generates an invoice, sends it back, waits for payment, then performs the fulfillment steps that their unique businesses requires. While that might look good on paper, there's some unfortunate implications for both the Merchant and Customer experience. Let's explore some negatives. NIP-15 uses direct messages to exchange Checkout events between Customer and Merchant. Any Nostr client that doesn't handle NIP-15 events will display the order in good ol' JSON: ``` { "id": "ord_cust_1234567890abcdef", "type": 0, "name": "Jane Smith", "address": "123 Mountain View Dr, Boulder, CO 80302", "message": "Looking forward to using these boots on my upcoming hike!", "contact": { "nostr": "7f3b5f21c9880ce33043478436487435878934578934589345893458934", "phone": "+1 303-555-0123", "email": "jane.smith@email.com" }, "items": [ { "product_id": "boot_model_789xyz", "quantity": 1 } ], "shipping_id": "zone_us_rocky_mountain" } ``` Imagine parsing through that every time you get an order. Most clients won't separate these ugly JSON orders from human-speak messages. These orders will be side-by-side with all other conversations, spamming your inbox. Since the order message needs the Merchant to receive it, generate an invoice by-hand, then send the invoice back, the Bitcoin-based price might fluctuate. This could mean lowering the transaction value for the Merchant or increasing expected cost for the Customer. There's also a higher chance of invoice expiration for Merchants with a smaller risk window against Bitcoin's volatile price. While Lightning payment processors (Strike, BTCPay Server, etc) send webhooks when funds are received, typical commerce systems don't have a way to communicate with Nostr relays. Product details on-relay aren't auto-updated with current stock, leading Customers placing orders for out-of-stock items. And, the Merchant has to manually send shipment details in a direct message to the Customer; another manual step in the checkout flow. Long story short, it's simply not functional for a Merchant to complete the entire series of checkout steps as-described by NIP-15, at-scale for real-world e-commerce, by hand. To summarize the challenges we must overcome: - **Merchant experience friction**: Manual steps require time per order multiplied by their unique business operation's requirements. - **Spammed inbox**: Non-relevant JSON messages fill the Merchant's inbox. - **Fulfillment delays**: Checkout flow is delayed until several manual steps are completed by both parties. - **Price fluctuations**: Time between order placed and invoice paid leads to possible price fluctuation, impacting Merchant or Customer expectations - **Invoice expirations**: Time between invoice generation and payment increases chance of expiration - **In-Stock Mismatches**: Relays may have incorrect inventory stock, leading to failed orders and customer inconvenience. With these points considered, a "real-world" checkout process requires automation. Coordination between inventory, payments, fulfillment, and Customer communication, should take place by an automatic process. To that effect, we at Conduit BTC propose a solution. We call it the *Nostr Commerce Coordinator*. # The Case for Coordinators An NCC (Nostr Commerce Coordinator) is a server-based Nostr bot that: - Is under control of, and represents, the Merchant on Nostr - Subscribes to a relay pool - Posts and queries NIP-15 events - Coordinates the NIP-15 Checkout process on behalf of a Merchant: - *Inventory Management:* verify, increment, and decrement product stock, create and update Stalls and Products on relays via signed events - *Payment Processing:* generate Lightning invoices, send invoice to customer, respond to payment events via webhook - *Fulfillment Services:* create shipments, notify fulfillment partners Handles Checkout-related communications with the Customer Notifies the Merchant when certain things occur Collect sales-relates metrics for Merchant visibility To summarize the benefits of an NCC: - Automated, frictionless checkout flow - Direct integration with Merchant's existing e-commerce stack: inventory management, payment processing, and shipping service - Separation of Checkout-related direct messages (containing ugly JSON) from actual human readable direct messages - General separation-of-concerns between Merchant's social graph and e-commerce activities - Ability to implement additional commerce features, such as metrics collection, financial statements, subscriptions, and much more yet-to-be explored possibilities # Where do I put my private key? There's one violation of Nostr pleb sensibility that, at first glance, might seem required for the NCC equation to work: putting a Merchant account's private key in the hands of a cloud-based server. Obviously, we don't want our private keys stored on a cloud-based server. To overcome this, there's the option to use an nsec Bunker (with supported clients). Using an Nsec bunker would more-safely store our private keys, granting both sign-and-decrypt access to the server. It's a great solution. However, we'll explain a couple of reasons why using the Merchant account with an Nsec bunker for checkout fulfillment may not be right for most use cases: - All checkout messages would spam the Merchant account with non-social direct messages. For popular Merchants, this will increase friction for both fulfilling orders and engaging with Customers. This can be resolved by clients enabling NIP-15 message sorting, but it's likely that most clients will still display an inbox filled with socially-irrelevant messages. - Both business and social activities would be strongly coupled. Stalls, Products, and Orders are managed by the same keypair that the Merchant's social graph is tied to. A leaked key has the potential to bring the entire business operation to a halt, social presence included. There is, however, an alternative to using the Merchant account for checkout resolution. And, it works great with nsecBunkers, too. We're now going to explore the use of a *utility keypair*, a Nostr account generated specifically for assisting the primary account holder in any number of tasks. We'll explore utility keypairs in greater detail through a paradigm we call **Merchant Delegation**. # Merchant Delegation In the Merchant Delegation paradigm, a different Nostr keypair effectively controls all commerce-related events on behalf of the Merchant. The delegated account creates every Stall and Product, receives all Checkout events, and handles checkout-related communication with the Customer. The Merchant signs a Merchant Delegate Token, which is placed in a tag on every event signed by the delegate account. Clients parse the tag, verify the signature is valid, and cause non-checkout events to target the Delegator automatically. As an extra layer of validation, a NIP-05 identifier may be included. When an identifier is present, clients will verify its validity, and reject delegation if the Npub is not properly identified. This provides the ability to invalidate the delegation, if need be. When coupled with an NCC, the Merchant Delegation paradigm really begins to shine. For the mindful Merchant who doesn't want to use their main account for checkout activities, Merchant Delegation is the answer. For wary Merchants who want to keep their private keys off-cloud, an NCC can use a utility keypair and act on behalf of the Merchant through Merchant Delegation. For the rest of this article, we will refer to this utility keypair as the *NCC Account*, while calling the Merchant's primary Nostr account the *Merchant Root Account*. When an order is placed, the NCC automatically fetches the incoming message, decrypts it, parses the order, generates an invoice, and sends it to the Customer. A Customer can place an order, then receive an invoice in seconds. Once paid, the payment processor's webhook notifies the NCC. The NCC decrements stock in the inventory management system, posts a Product Update event across the relay pool, then forwards the paid order to the fulfillment service. NCCs can optionally keep a copy of every event they've handled. This enables local persistence and immediate access to important events without requiring re-retrieval from relays. A locally-kept reconstruction of the entire e-commerce activity graph. This can be useful for keeping order history, assisting Customer support, generating sales reports and financial records, etc. All the while, the Merchant's Root Account remains free to engage solely in social graph activities (ie. posting short-form / long-form content creation and engagement, non-checkout communications with Customers, etc), without the checkout-related events spamming their inbox. In this way, the NCC becomes the bridge between the Nostr protocol and the Merchant's e-commerce systems. The Merchant freed from manual checkout management, and gain a piece of extendable software that can meet many of their needs as a Nostr-based business. # NIP-15 Amendment - Merchant Delegate Tag Spec In order to separate the social graph from checkout activities, an amendment to the NIP-15 spec has been proposed: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1648. To use Merchant Delegation Tags: - Clients MUST treat events with a `merchant-delegation` tag in the following manner: - Validate the `delegation token` signature - If `retarget_while<` and/or `retarget_while>` is present in the conditions query string, only perform event re-targeting within the given time window - If `nip_05_identifier` is present in the conditions query string, only perform re-targeting if the Npub of the event's creator is verifiable as-per the NIP-05 spec - Clients SHOULD display a relevant visual indicator that a Stall and/or Product's Checkout process is handled by a Merchant Delegate. Merchant Delegation tags are described as follows: ```json [ "merchant-delegation", <pubkey of the delegator>, <conditions query string>, <delegation token: 64-byte Schnorr signature of the sha256 hash of the delegation string> ] ``` The merchant-delegation token should be a 64-byte Schnorr signature of the sha256 hash of the following string: `nostr:delegation:<pubkey of publisher (delegatee)>:\<conditions query string>` To keep this article concise, we have omitted most of the proposal details. **The above may be deprecated.** See the [link to the PR](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1648) to read the complete and up-to-date spec. # Merchant Delegate NCC Tags In-Action On a NIP-15 enabled clients that adhere to this spec, the experience would be as follows: --- **UX:** A Product for sale, in a Stall, by Merchant (Root Account) **Nostr:** Kind 30017 (Set Stall) and 30018 (Set Product) events signed by the NCC Account, with a "merchant-delegation" tag pointing to the Merchant Root Account. --- **UX:** Select this Product for purchase, fill in the appropriate details on a Checkout Form, then click "Buy Now". **Nostr:** Client creates a direct message addressed to the NCC Account. NCC server generates a Lightning invoice for this order, and sends it back immediately as a direct message addressed to the Customer --- **UX:** Customer receives a Lightning Invoice from NCC Account, then pays the invoice. **Lightning + Nostr:** NCC receives a webhook message from its Payment Processor, indicating payment was received. NCC sends a direct message to the Customer indicating Order Confirmation. Any time there are shipping updates from the Shipping Service, NCC will send additional direct messages to the Customer; in the case of digital goods, the order will be fulfilled as-appropriate for the business use case. --- **UX:** From the same Product's details page, the Customer will see the Product is sold by the Merchant Root Account, with a visual indicator stating the Checkout process is managed by NCC. Customer clicks Follow. Customer zaps the Merchant 100 sats. Customer sends a direct message to the Merchant to thank them for the excellent service. **Nostr:** Product and Stall are both created by the NCC Account, Follow, Zap, and Direct Message events all target the Merchant Root Account. --- # Additional Features ## Private Key Watchman As an additional feature of an NCC, we get "for free" a server can match on-relay events with locally-stored events to detect unauthorized events signed with its private key. The underlying issue corresponding to the leak could then be investigated. A rare instance, but a powerful tool for account safety. If an unauthorized event were discovered, the NCC can respond in a number of ways, chosen by the Merchant, which may include: - **"Purge and replace"**: Send NIP-09 Event Deletion Requests to every relay in the pool for every existing Stall and Product. Generate a new keypair, recreate the Stalls and Products, then propagate them to all relays. Notify the Merchant that a purge took place. - **"Purge, then notify"**: Perform a full purge, then notify Merchant. Useful in scenarios where the running server may have become compromised. - **"Notify, then purge"**: Notify the Merchant. Unless cancelled within a set amount of time, perform a purge. - **"Just notify"**: Notify the Merchant that one or more events were signed with the NCC secret key outside of the NCC server. Useful if the Merchant chooses to use the NCC's utility keypair in other clients. Following a purge, the Merchant (or NCC automatically) would then generate a new keypair / NCC Account, then republish all Stalls and Products. Commerce would continue uninterrupted with an uncompromised Merchant social graph. Through Merchant Delegate tags, clients would still properly route Customer interactions through to the proper systems. *There's a lot of conversation happening at Conduit BTC about this particular feature, and how we can "watch the watchman" by providing additional layers of security to the server itself. This is an ongoing discussion, and we'd love for you to be a part of it. Visit the Discussions tab on on [C3: The Conduit Commerce Coordinator Repo](https://github.com/Conduit-BTC/conduit-commerce-coordinator ), and let's chat about it.* ## Stall and Product Management Stall and Product Management could be handled from a web UI served by the NCC, instead of solely within the external Inventory Management service. *Note: if the "leaked key protection" guard was in place, it would actually be necessary to either use the web UI to manage products, or temporarily disable the guard, to prevent NCC from becoming angry and initiating (or threatening) a purge. Yikes.* ## Subscriptions In the future, the NIP-15 spec can be updated to include a Subscription event type, indicating that the Customer would like to repeat the same order one or more times. The NCC can automatically send the subscribing Customer their next order's payment notice. Accepting the notice (via direct message response, following a URL, etc.) generates an invoice on-the-spot. ## Direct Messaging A direct message client could be placed into the web UI, for passing Checkout-related messages to the Customer, instead of using the Merchant Root account and splitting order-specific conversation into two threads. # Drawbacks If the NCC were taken offline, then Customer's order messages would accumulate without automatic resolution. However, like an escalator conveniently becoming stairs when not functioning properly, Customer orders continue to accumulate on-relay, awaiting the deployment of another NCC, or manual resolution. As long as the NCC Account's private key is safely stored away, it can be loaded into another NCC or Nostr client at any time. A *serious* drawback to the current NIP-15 spec is using NIP-04 Encrypted Direct Messages for checkout events. Luckily, we've already opened a PR to improve that: https://github.com/amunrarara/nips/blob/patch-1/15.md # Conclusion Without a system capable of automating the process between a Customer's intent to purchase and a Merchant's acceptance, e-commerce on Nostr will not grow beyond small sales plagued with high-friction manual checkout steps. This proposal contains the groundwork for a new type of Nostr bot. A Nostr bot whose core function is handling NIP-15 checkout events automatically on behalf of a Merchant. We've included many implementation possibilities, which the community may explore, innovate, and perfect. To recap, concepts introduced in this article were: - Nostr Commerce Coordinators - Utility keypair accounts - Merchant Delegation This is an ongoing conversation, and we'd love to have your feedback and participation in making Nostr E-Commerce an incredible experience for all. We hope that this new software and NIP proposal will improve the experience for all of us on Nostr. Join us on this adventure into a new frontier in decentralized online e-commerce. --- Conduit BTC has begun development on the first Nostr Commerce Coordinator, which we call **C3: The Conduit Commerce Coordinator.** This is, of course, an open-source project - as everything we do will be.

Bitcoin is a medium of exchange, store of value, and unit of account. The unit of account piece really throws people through a loop. Freaks say, but its too volatile, mimicking the financial advisors of yesteryear, not acknowledging the evident decay of their trusty accounting method, the method that dilutes your reality with the notion of inflation vs deflation. We live in a deflationary world, its only inflationary if your accounting metric sucks. If your not using bitcoin as a method to view prices, your method of viewing prices has been skewed, and skewed on purpose. What's really interesting is how, our unit of measurement is exactly backwards. The fiat way of viewing finances is 180 degrees away from the reality of sound money price deflation that bitcoin brings. And at this point I would say that it is unstoppable. if your stacking bitcoin but pricing it in dollars and making dollar type moves, your stack will diminish due to your own inability to adapt. You'll give in to leverage schemes and strange loans, your attitude towards risk and gain will be off kilter. In a lot of cases people will fail to realize that they've already won, and now they just need to pull a satoshi, leave their life stacking to go on and do other things. We've been conditioned to be on a hamster wheel where we need to constantly think about growing our money at all cost and no matter how much we stack it will never be enough. I find bitcoin to be the exact opposite, where at some point, you might have stacked too much, you might find yourself with wealth so large that it breaks your mind, it might enlarge your ego, destroy your family. This sounds suspiciously like absolute power corrupts absolutely, which is something that I've become a bit more awry of, but to a certain extent......how much is enough anon? At what point does the ring of power consume you. In conclusion "God Candle Approacheth" staying humble and stacking sats, while accounting for your stack in dollars, will give those freaks a rush of exhilaration unlike any they've likely had before. They will be awash in fortunes gained through the lazy doubt of haters, they will be vindicated and in most cases the fortune that they earned will be just and because they followed truth and because they had discipline and foresight and sugar and spice, and everything nice. The acceleration from lower middle class to top 1% will be a whiplash strong enough to sway the humbleness of most men. In conclusion again (and hopefully this is the last one) Use bitcoin as a unit of account. You likely have already won the game. Stay humble and brace for impact on the moon. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/809878

I created PictureRoom to share my photography work and offer insights into my editing process. I've always been drawn to watching other photographers edit their work (such as Kyle McDougall’s YouTube channel) as there's always something new to learn and incorporate into my own craft. It's important to never assume you have it "all figured out." Remaining open to learning keeps our skills fresh and evolving.  I published a video on my YouTube channel where I demonstrate how I edit my photographs using a preset I've developed. This preset has become the foundation for most of my recent work, and I'm excited to share it with others. In the video, I delve into some nuanced editing techniques that I believe many will find interesting. Please note that this preset isn't a one-size-fits-all solution.  You'll need to adjust it for each individual photograph, tweaking elements such as exposure, blacks, whites, highlights, shadows, temperature, and tint. However, it should get you most of the way there. As I explain in my YouTube video, this preset works well with both Leica and Fujifilm files. I'm offering this preset on a donation basis. If you find it valuable, I greatly appreciate any support you can provide for my efforts. Your generosity helps me continue creating and sharing resources like this. Of course, you can always send some sats here as well if you'd like. You can download the preset here and try it for yourself: https://czerwinskiphoto.gumroad.com/l/lightroom-preset-1 Feel free to check out the video for a detailed walkthrough, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about using the preset: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52pOCphNSTc Like and Subscribe as well to the YouTube channel, or find me on nostr. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/809797

I would like to start by saying that I do believe that Nostr will become the generalistic social network of the future (at least one of the clients). This post is just a perspective of why perhaps that might not even matter in the end. Every cultural change starts in a tribalistic way. People that agree with each other regularly interacting, exchanging ideas, etc. Socialism, LGBT, ecological groups, etc, it's all organized tribes. People regularly interacting with each other with similar ideas. Going to events, workshops, bars, dinners, etc, etc. They then create change in the world by integrating with the power networks, as we've seen in history. It's all top down and there's usually lot of cultural weight. For example, the Bolsheviks had to use a lot of cultural projects to legitimize their power after the 1917 Russian Revolution. The point is it's always a minority changing culture. Gramsci, the idea of Cultural Hegemony. It never fails. The most organized minority tribe always changes the culture. > In [Marxist philosophy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxist_philosophy), **cultural hegemony** is the [dominance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominance_hierarchy) of a culturally diverse society by the [ruling class](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruling_class) who shape the culture of that society—the [beliefs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belief) and [explanations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explanation), [perceptions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perception), [values](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_system), and [mores](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mores)—so that the [worldview](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worldview) of the ruling class becomes the accepted cultural [norm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norm_\(sociology\)).[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_hegemony#cite_note-1) As the universal [dominant ideology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominant_ideology), the ruling-class worldview misrepresents the social, political, and economic *status quo* as natural, inevitable, and perpetual social conditions that benefit every social class, rather than as artificial [social constructs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_constructionism) that benefit only the ruling class.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_hegemony#cite_note-TheColumbia-2)[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_hegemony#cite_note-3) > > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_hegemony This is obviously sick, because it's all authoritarian and culture should never be top down. Real culture should always be free, bottom-up. (More universalist in that sense). So in that sense it makes sense that Nostr and Bitcoin are connected and that there's a kind of tribe forming around it too. And in that sense the real point is; **It doesn't really matter how many people are on Nostr,** what truly matters is how engaged and connected to each other they are. Is there engagement? Yes. Then it will work. This is currently more of a tribe than a generalistic social network. It just happens to be the best technical social network (because it's uncensorable). And not just that, **our tribe is the most diverse tribe. The most diverse tribe always wins** because it is by definition the tribe with the most universalistic philosophy, the most open, the most open to innovation, and thus the most universalistic. The most universalistic philosophy always wins. A great example is Reddit and how that creates the intelectual culture of our world, wrongly, distorted and censored as we know. Nostr might become or power something like that. The homebase of the most powerful and organized tribe in the world.

"Mathematics is the language in which God has written the universe..." --Nicholas Copernicus # Bitcion Is Poetry I fell in love with word-smithing in the eleventh grade after reading Shakespeare's sonnets because Iambic pentameter is the edge effect where the languages of mathematics and English meet. I thought this was the coolest thing in the world. This inspired me to write my own Sonnets. I even gave one to my hopeless crush. She wasn't as impressed, but in retrospect, poetry was my first love. I had some flings with fiction, and a few blogs, and in 2014 fell in love with a younger, sexier form of mathematical poetry--Bitcoin: A Peer-To-Peer Electronic Cash System. She taught me what Copernicus observed so long ago. Mathematics is the language of the universe. When I first read it, I did not understand most of the math. I had no idea what a "digital signature" was. I never had the word hash without the words corned beef in front of it, but I believed **fractional reserve banking and bailouts helped the rich get richer and the poor get poorer**. My limited background knowledge from messing around with Napster and BitTorrent in my younger years gave me enough background knowledge to understand that Satoshi's white paper was an important historical document. He wrote in plain English, math, and C+ explaining Bitcoin in three languages like the Rosetta Stone. "To implement a distributed timestamp server on a Peer-To-Peer basis we will need to use a proof-of-work system similar to Adam Back's Hashcash, rather than newspaper or Usenet posts." --Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin: A Peer To Peer Electronic Cash System  ## Proof Of Poetry Adam Back discovered hashcash. Satoshi cited this in the White paper. Despite its name, hashcash was not a "cryptocurrency." Hashcash is more like a digital stamp. Stamps have a cost, of course, and so does hashcash. We can't hand a piece of paper with a portrait of some dude wearing a wig to a computer, of course. We must pay for electronic stamps with the only fungible currency computers can use, electricity. This makes electricity the de facto currency for computers. Therefore, you must pay for the hashcash stamp with electricity. As anyone who has been shocked by their electricity bill in the summer knows, electricity has a real cost. The beauty of hash cash is you wouldn't notice a difference in your electric bill if you sent a dozen emails a month, but if you spammed the whole World Wide Web with a chain letter, your electric bill will drain your bank account. Hashcash is a stamp you pay for with computational power, which requires your computer to work. That work can only be paid for with electricity. Proof Of Work is a little different on hashcash than bitcoin because it uses SHA1 and bitcoin uses SHA256, but here's an example of how it works from hashcash.org: When you type this into the command line: `echo -n 0:030626:adam@cypherspace.org:6470e06d773e05a8 | sha1` The computer will show you this answer: `00000000c70db7389f241b8f441fcf068aead3f0` See those C00l-looking zeros in the front? Satoshi called them “zero bits.” Whenever someone sends a bitcoin transaction, it goes to the mempool. This is like Purgatory for bitcoin transactions. A bitcoin doesn't get its wings right away like when a bell rings on It's A Wonderful Life. It needs to be confirmed like a Catholic. If it's not confirmed, it does not reach heaven. Transactions don't have an actual afterlife in the clouds, These transactions are trying to get into the precious, scarce block space of the bitcoin timechain. Miners include different transactions in a block template and add a nonce, a number used once...I'm gonna stop myself here before readers die of boredom. It's just math. If you're interested in seeing this math in action play around with [this website](https://xorbin.com/). You can type whatever you want. The math works on all [ASCII](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII) characters because each letter or symbol represents a number. If we hash the code from hashcash.org above using the SHA1 calculator it gives us this result.  If we add a question mark to this text, we get this result.  We see a different 40-character combination. This is the math used to verify data in cybersecurity, and bitcoin is no different. To change the math requires changing every single one of these transactions since January 3rd, 2009. How horrifying would your electric bill need to be to accomplish this? I don't know, but It's not likely to happen since honest miners are rewarded with fees, These fees are like tribute transactions must pay to get out of purgatory, Some transactions pay more, and some try to pay less. The miners are incentivized to let the more expensive transactions to go through the pearly white gates of the bitcoin time chain. Adam Back's email is not a transaction, but those leading zero bits are the backbone of the bitcoin time chain. If you hash my full legal name with SHA1, we get this result `02c53da577460a2e8eead6e85da88199c64eb1bd`. If we hash it with SHA256, I see two zero bits. `0024f0a28bf81851ed8490c4e87173f8790bd9d8ea9423442114d25ad7137f51` Pretty cool, right? These zerobits are also found in the bitcoin timechain. Look at the blocks 87402 through 874039: https://mempool.marc26z.com/block/0000000000000000000252449e143c01d95b535c7f7a5aa0c321d689ee3bfcb7 https://mempool.marc26z.com/block/000000000000000000020ce9cb6d4ad0363aa3992f40739e794a749cfbeea74d https://mempool.marc26z.com/block/0000000000000000000055c358a666b6188349787741e4d51a0f1d3c60e5f8ae https://mempool.marc26z.com/block/00000000000000000000f17afb5f4bcab00c75dea27659c9b596878763c83533 https://mempool.marc26z.com/block/00000000000000000000c09a854ef63d9b99594997d3f0b8fa7229944b8ea3cb Notice how each line a from an instance of mempool that I run from a [Start9](https://store.start9.com/) server has zerobits in the front. This is because bitcoin uses the same mathematical poetry that Adam Back Discovered in 1997. It's elegant, has a pattern, dare I say rhythm, and looks like a mathematical sonnet.  Look at those last two lines. Like zerobits repeated in the bitcoin timechain, the words So long are repeated at the beginning of lines 13 and 14. Bitcoin looks like poetry because bitcoin is poetry. ### The Difficulty Adjustment Is Poetic Justice Whenever a miner produces a hash with the required amount of zerobits to send the transactions from the mempool purgatory to the place where the chosen math spirits hang out in the p2p distributed networking cloud, one more block is added to the timing chain. It is called a "chain" because the transactions are also hashed with the block header from the previous block. This verifies that each transaction is valid and easily verifiable with a single calculation which means it can be validated on cheap computers like Raspberry Pi's, but to be honest, you're better off with a better computer if you don't like pulling your hair out. The problem is money has an infinite demand. This is why the axiom, "You can never be too rich or too skinny" exists. Everybody loves money and is incentivized to get as much of it as they can as early as they can. This begs the question, how did Satoshi make sure Bitcoin is for everybody and not just the OG Cypherpunk nerds? He discovered the difficulty of adjustment. At this point, most people have heard the story about Lazzlo buying two pizzas for 10,000 whole Bitcoin. It is often touted as the worst investment in history by the mainstream media, but journalists focus on the sensational and miss the subtleties of this story since they are experts in journalism, but not so well-versed in cryptography, a branch of mathematics that no one is taught in high school and only the nerdiest of nerds tend to learn it in college. The lesser-known part of the story is Lazzlo was also the first person to mine Bitcoin using ASIC chips. ASICs were used well by IT professionals well before bitcoin was discovered, but Lazzlo learned he could mine bitcoin much faster with these specialized chips than with a laptop. As the first person to figure this out, he must have had an extremely unfair advantage, so why couldn't he just mine all 21 Bitcoin in a matter of months? He was limited by the Difficulty Adjustment. Here is how it works:- Every hour we can expect 6 blocks- Every Day we can expect 24x6 blocks or 144 blocks- Every week, we can expect 1008 blocks- Every two weeks, we can expect 2016 blocks. At the end of 2016 blocks, if blocks are mined faster than this, the math problem miners try to solve becomes more difficult to slow them back down to ten minutes. When Lazzlo ramped up his bitcoin production, he could only have an unfair advantage for 2016 blocks. Let's say he mined 90% of the block within the first week.  Good for him, but now his ASICS mining slows down because the blocks become much more difficult to mine. His fancy miner essentially must find more zerobits. It's a little more complex than this, but that's the non-boring gist of the story. Without Satoshi's discovery of the difficulty adjustment, the Cypherpunks like Lazzlo would have mined all 21 million bitcoin before the first 210,000 blocks. The difficulty adjustment makes the distribution fair because the block subsidy limits how much Bitcoin can be created every ten minutes and that amount is cut in half every 4 years. "Total circulation will be 21,000,000 coins. It'll be distributed to network nodes when they make blocks, with the amount cut in half every 4 years. First 4 years: 10,500,000 coins next 4 years: 5,250,000 coins next 4 years: 2,625,000 coins next 4 years: 1,312,500 coins etc... When that runs out, the system can support transaction fees if needed. It's based on open market competition, and there will probably always be nodes willing to process transactions for free." -Satoshi Nakamoto This is poetic justice. ### The Lindy Effect of Poetry The OG version of the introduction to The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative To Central Banking by [Saifedean Ammous](/tmp/.mount_JoplinlaXpDb/resources/app.asar/npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak), was written by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Taleb has since abandoned bitcoin and Michael Saylor re-wrote the Introduction, but Nassim still has a great concept called the [Lindy Effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect). The basic premise accordion to Wikipedia is, "The longer a period something has survived to exist or be used in the present, the longer its remaining life expectancy." This is often used by Bitcoiners as a steel-man argument against shitcoins. The argument goes, Bitcoin has been around the longest, so it is more likely to outlast the shitcoins. I don't disagree with that statement, but bitcoin is poetry and poetry has an even more pronounced Lindy Effect. Shakespeare died in 1616, yet his work survives over four centuries later. Those sonnets I fell in love with are older than the United States of America. Many of his clever phrases like "dead as a doornail" are part of the English vernacular. The English language would be much different if not for Shakespeare. ) Bitcoin is almost 16 years old, but about every ten minutes, a new line of bitcoin poetry is written in the form of a bitcoin block. No one knows for sure, and I do not have a crystal ball, but it would not surprise me if nerds like me admire the poetry of bitcoin at block 21,000,000. This is every Bitcoiner's favorite number, but the 21 millionth block will be produced about 400 years from the Genesis Block. We, the ride-or-die bitcoin freaks, are optimistic.  We believe bitcoin will exist 400 years from now in the same way Shakespeare's Sonnets survive. Bitcoin lingo is already slipping into the wider English Vernacular. A decade ago, nobody but grumpy gold bugs and geeky bitcoiners used the term "fiat." Fiat is now part of everyday parlance.  The mainstream media has reported that Bitcoin has died at least 477 times according to [99Bitcoins](https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-obituaries/). We, the people running bitcoin, disagree. We do not believe bitcoin will die anytime soon. We think it will last generations to come. We expect it to be around hundreds of years from now like Shakesphere's sonnets, maybe even thousands of years from now like the Rosetta Stone. That's why it has captured the imaginations of so many nerds. We are currently in an age where most people think of bitcoin as an investment, but bitcoin is not an investment like a stock or bond. Bitcoin is an investment like a masterpiece. It is more in the category of a Mona Lisa. Imagine if you had a page of Romeo and Juliet that was hand written by William Shakespeare. Best of all, you could verify that it was written by Shakespeare every ten minutes. How much would that be worth now that Shakespeare has been pushing daisies for over 400 years? What if you could send that page written by Shakespeare to anyone in the world in ten minutes? Do you think anyone would be interested in one of those pages? Bitcoin is a poem being written as we speak. This poem, written in math and translated into C++ code, was written by Satoshi Nakamoto. It is 94.26% finished. Current estimates project this poem will be finished on March 1, 2, 2138* You can buy about ten tiny pieces of this poem for about a penny.  Sure, you could have bought 100 small pieces of this poem for a penny 7 years ago, but we are still early in the scheme of things. "**It** **might** make sense just to **get** **some** **in** **case** **it** **catches** **on**. If enough people think the same way, that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy." -- Satoshi Nakamoto *[According to Clark Moody's Dashboard as of block [874,733](https://mempool.marc26z.com/block/000000000000000000019b4fe6949b13bfbb5327b73248805d64166cdc51f683)](https://bitcoin.clarkmoody.com/dashboard/) [Marc](https://primal.net/marc) [874,778](https://mempool.marc26z.com/block/00000000000000000001d0f8ca0a99484ed318a50de675ec89b9aa754b9e7468) [🧡Support🧡](https://marc26z.com/support-my-work/)

Four weeks after Adopting Bitcoin wrapped up, I find myself back in Buenos Aires. While one of the main reasons for staying is avoiding the dreary Berlin winter, the other, much stronger reason, is the people. Anyone who knows me knows I’m a beach person through and through—dreaming of one day living in a house by the ocean. Argentina, with its economic quirks and geographical realities, isn’t exactly the ideal spot for that dream. Yet, here I am again, drawn not by the landscapes but by something far more meaningful: its people. When I first wrote about my experience at Labitconf, I mentioned "LaCrypta" a local Bitcoin community that captured my heart. For those unfamiliar, the name might sound like it’s tied to crypto, but it’s not—it simply means “The Crypt.” And when you visit their physical space in the heart of Buenos Aires, the name suddenly makes perfect sense. La Crypta isn’t just a community; it’s the beating heart of Bitcoin culture here. It’s a group of passionate people dedicated to development, education, and sharing knowledge about Bitcoin and the Nostr ecosystem. Their mission goes far beyond tech—it’s about empowerment, collaboration, and creating a space where ideas flourish. Before I arrived in Buenos Aires, I had already worked with some of the La Crypta crew remotely. From the very start, they were more than helpful—honestly, they saved me more times than I can count. Organizing, finding suppliers, translating, navigating cultural nuances—things that would’ve been impossible as a foreigner were made smooth thanks to their constant support. Even when cultural differences came into play, they did their best to accommodate my eager German punctuality. Sure, we had a couple of missed calls here and there (they’re South American, after all!), but we found a rhythm, and I learned to relax and embrace their way of doing things. I’ll never forget walking into the physical space for the first time. The house itself is a marvel—a 100-year-old gem tucked into the bustling city, its walls whispering history. Interestingly, it was originally built by Germans (I could tell right away), and every corner is rich with quirks and stories. Newcomers are given a guided tour, learning about the house’s past and its idiosyncrasies, which they’re then responsible for passing on to the next wave of visitors. It’s a brilliant tradition, one that fosters a sense of connection to the place. The charm of La Crypta’s space is undeniable—a century-old house surrounded by modern skyscrapers, standing out like a time capsule in the middle of the city. Of course, not everyone loves it. The neighbors occasionally complain about the raucous parties, even calling the police. But, as I’ve learned, in Argentina, there’s always a workaround for things like that. The real magic, though, isn’t in the house—it’s in the people. After weeks of working together remotely, meeting them in person for the first time was something special. There’s nothing quite like hugging the people you’ve shared so much time, effort, and anticipation with, knowing how deeply they care. They welcomed me with open arms, not just as a collaborator but as a friend. From day one, they’ve been my mental and emotional support system, offering far more than help with logistics. Their generosity, warmth, and genuine care reminded me that some of the most valuable things in life aren’t tied to money—they’re tied to human connection. We bonded in so many ways, but nothing quite tops their initiation ritual: mate. For the uninitiated, mate is a traditional South American drink with a very specific etiquette. You don’t say “thank you” unless you’re done, you don’t stir the straw, and, naturally, I did everything wrong at first. But despite their teasing, I genuinely fell in love with mate, even if they still can’t believe me! ## A home away from home As I write this, just 10 days before Christmas, I’m missing my family and friends back home in Berlin. On quiet Saturday mornings like this, I wish I could just jump on a plane and hug them, feel the warmth of familiarity. But even in these moments of longing, I find comfort here. The people of La Crypta have become a surrogate family, filling my heart with their kindness and making the distance feel a little less heavy. This experience has been life-changing. No matter where I go from here, I’ll carry a piece of La Crypta and Buenos Aires with me. For anyone who ever has the chance to visit, I urge you to experience this for yourself. The people, the place, the culture—it’s something that can’t be explained, only felt. It’s not just a community; it’s a family. And for that, I’ll forever be grateful.

## L’oggetto misterioso Nostr, che in realtà è **N.O.S.T.R.**, il cui acronimo significa **N**otes and **O**ther **S**tuff **T**ransmitted by **R**elay, è un protocollo di comunicazione nato da pochissimi anni, che promette decentralizzazione e incensurabilità. La maggior parte degli utenti internet non conosce il significato di queste due promesse, per motivi che non verranno analizzati qui (DYOR), ma **decentralizzazione e incensurabilità sono tanto importanti quanto la libertà che ne consegue**. Decidere di usare il protocollo Nostr è senz’altro facoltativo e dovrebbe essere preso in considerazione per una migliore conoscenza del web. Quanto meno giudicare Nostr inutile a prescindere è un errore. ## Incensurabilità  Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relay è già l'essenza: **l’identità e i dati non risiedono in uno specifico server centralizzato**, ma su tanti piccoli serverini, i relay, che trasmettono le note (i post) scritte da un autore/un’autrice. Questo è ciò che accade anche con i social media tradizionali, salvo il fatto che **tutte le piattaforme come ~~facebook~~ o ~~twitter~~ possono decidere di cancellare l’identità digitale di un utente, eliminandolo dai propri server**. ### **Su Nostr NO**. Il singolo runner del relay può certamente decidere di bannare una determinata identità digitale, perché magari pubblica contenuti non graditi. Questi stessi contenuti, però, resteranno visibili su altri relay e quindi fruibili per i relativi follower. Infine, si può installare il proprio relay e a quel punto solo un idiota si bannerebbe da solo. ## Tue le chiavi, tua l’identità  I primi abitanti di questo piccolo universo hanno deciso di auto-definirsi *Nostriches*. I/le Nostriches devono solo **creare una coppia di chiavi, privata e pubblica**. La chiave pubblica, **npub**, è l’identità digitale dell’utente. Dice effettivamente chi sei e aiuta gli altri utenti a trovarti. La chiave privata, o **nsec, è la prova crittografica dell’identità digitale** e questo è già un bel salto di paradigma rispetto al più diffuso sistema costituito dalla combinazione username/password. Non esistono due chiavi private uguali, quella generata per ogni singolo utente è unica ed è da quella (solo da quella e nessun’altra) che poi viene derivata la chiave privata. **Il protocollo Nostr permette, quindi, di essere i proprietari della propria identità digitale**. Ed è bene ribadire questo concetto:** l’identità digitale è solo dell'utente, non è delle aziende che gestiscono il social media di turno**. Lo stesso principio si applica ai dati e ai contenuti pubblicati, che appartengono ai legittimi autori e non alle piattaforme. ## Già… le piattaforme Ma quindi, come funziona Nostr? Semplice. Ci sono moltissimi client, che permettono di fare login con la chiave privata, creare un profilo completo di foto, biografia e link ai siti web, nonché di postare le note e trasmetterle ai relay cui si è deciso di farlo. Alcuni relay offrono il servizio gratuitamente, altri a pagamento e – con l’esperienza – si troverà il setup con cui iniziare. **La nsec permette di fare login ad ogni client indistintamente**, senza costringere gli utenti a creare la combo username/password per ogni servizio. *Non so se è abbastanza chiaro...* ## Web-Of-Trust Identità digitale e possesso dei propri contenuti sono alla base di un sogno, nato decenni fa con il web2.0 e naufragato con esso nella palude del business dei dati personali. Non me ne frega un cazzo del gombloddismoh e di cosa fanno le multinazio(a)nali dei dati personali di ogni utente, o di come questi vengano utilizzati per addestrare modelli di linguaggio avanzati. **Ciò che, a mio avviso, è rivoluzionario, è la realizzazione del sogno sogno**. Il salto di paradigma è proprio il WoT, il **Web-Of-Trust: essere certi che chiunque abbia la possibilità di diffondere qualsiasi tipo di messaggio, che ne sia realmente l’autore e quindi se ne assuma la responsabilità e che chiunque altro possa decidere se fruirne o meno**. Ciò implica anche la libertà di usare parole che sui social media tradizionali verrebbero censurate. Significa essere “giudicati” dai propri pari, liberi individui che decideranno se quel contenuto vale la pena di essere letto oppure no. Comporta, per i lettori, **la libertà scegliere autonomamente cosa o chi seguire a seconda dei contenuti e non che un capriccioso algoritmo deciderà per loro cosa è meglio leggere o cosa no**. *Non so se è abbastanza chiaro…* ## Client e ZAP ⚡️  Le opportunità che offre il protocollo Nostr sono molteplici. Con l’unica accortezza di **custodire in maniera responsabile la nsec**, con un unico “account” si può postare su client simil-twitter, blog post, link-in-bio tipo Link Tree, eventi come su Eventbride, raccogliere immagini tipo Pinterest, creare form come Google-form, ma senza avere una username e una password per ognuno degli account, senza fornire la propria email a cani e porci (che non è comunque igienico) e senza rischiare di gestire decine di password o – peggio – usarne una unica per tutti. Infine, se ciò non fosse già abbastanza, **ecco l’incentivo economico**: grazie all’integrazione del protocollo Lightning Network, ogni client Nostr permette di **monetizzare con i contenuti pubblicati**; gli utenti decidono di premiare alcuni post tramite Zap, micro pagamenti anche di frazioni di centesimi, fino ai macro pagamenti. ## Perché Nostr  Per chiunque abbia qualcosa da dire, frivolezze o concetti profondi, Nostr è quello che a Napoli in maniera geniale viene definito il ***fattoapposta!*** Essere protagonisti in prima persona delle proprie esperienze social-web, provare l’ebbrezza di essere gli unici proprietari dell’identità digitale e dei contenuti prodotti nonché monetizzarli per merito e non per algoritmo, è **una scossa che vale davvero la pena di provare**. Attualmente Nostr potrebbe apparire come una piccola bolla, uno spazio abitato da strani esseri che parlano di cose aliene come libertà finanziaria, incensurabilità e decentralizzazione. Ma si può usare il tempo concesso da un’adozione prematura per conoscere il protocollo e capirlo. Si potrà sempre tornare ad abitare il Web2.0, uno spazio dove le idee vengono censurate o dove gli utenti che si dichiarano progressisti ed inklusivi se ne vanno perché in disaccordo con l’esito di un’elezione regolare e demograttika --- Risorse per approfondire: i) https://nostr-resources.com/ ii) https://nostr.net/ iii) https://nostr.how/en/nostr-projects iv) https://nostrapps.com/

 Christmas season hasn't actually started, yet, in Roman #Catholic Germany. We're in Advent until the evening of the 24th of December, at which point Christmas begins (with the Nativity, at Vespers), and continues on for 40 days until Mariä Lichtmess (Presentation of Christ in the temple) on February 2nd.  It's 40 days because that's how long the post-partum isolation is, before women were allowed back into the temple (after a ritual cleansing).  That is the day when we put away all of the Christmas decorations and bless the candles, for the next year. (Hence, the British name "Candlemas".) It used to also be when household staff would get paid their cash wages and could change employer. And it is the day precisely in the middle of winter.  Between Christmas Eve and Candlemas are many celebrations, concluding with the Twelfth Night called Epiphany or Theophany. This is the day some Orthodox celebrate Christ's baptism, so traditions rotate around blessing of waters.  The Monday after Epiphany was the start of the farming season, in England, so that Sunday all of the ploughs were blessed, but the practice has largely died out.  Our local tradition is for the altar servers to dress as the wise men and go door-to-door, carrying their star and looking for the Baby Jesus, who is rumored to be lying in a manger.  They collect cash gifts and chocolates, along the way, and leave the generous their powerful blessing, written over the door. The famous 20 * C + M + B * 25 blessing means "Christus mansionem benedicat" (Christ, bless this house), or "Caspar, Melchior, Balthasar" (the names of the three kings), depending upon who you ask. They offer the cash to the Baby Jesus (once they find him in the church's Nativity scene), but eat the sweets, themselves. It is one of the biggest donation-collections in the world, called the "Sternsinger" (star singers). The money goes from the German children, to help children elsewhere, and they collect around €45 million in cash and coins, every year.  As an interesting aside: The American "groundhog day", derives from one of the old farmers' sayings about Candlemas, brought over by the Pennsylvania Dutch. It says, that if the badger comes out of his hole and sees his shadow, then it'll remain cold for 4 more weeks. When they moved to the USA, they didn't have any badgers around, so they switched to groundhogs, as they also hibernate in winter.

This week's practical 3d print is a simple catch all tray.  ## Catch all tray As for most of the useful prints I show you in this series I printed it a long time ago and can't find the link to the design file. I am pretty sure it's from [Thingiverse](https://thingiverse.com) though. ### What it does It perfectly serves as a central place for the things I commonly need when I go out. So I don't need to search for them. What I like about the design is, that it catches all things from my pockets i.e. key, lighter, earpods, slide wallet and more when I come home. But not the dust and dirt. It falls throught the holes in tray. #3dprint #3ddruck #3dprinting

O título deste texto dá-nos uma pergunta retórica, isto é, uma interrogação com uma resposta evidente. Para que não restem dúvidas a resposta evidente seria, um enfático e inequívoco sim. Sim, o mal existe. Contudo, nos dias que correm muitas pessoas aparentam duvidar da existência do mal. Creio que em verdade não será tanto uma dúvida sincera, porque de facto ninguém consegue sustentar uma visão de mundo sem ter alguma ideia do que é o mal. Penso que será mais uma tentativa de fazer apologética do mal, disfarçada de uma certa ingenuidade. O que quero dizer é que as pessoas que apregoam que o mal não existe sabem perfeitamente que existe, no entanto é conveniente negá-lo para que daí não decorra um julgamento sincero das suas atitudes. A definição objetiva destas coisas pode ser-nos difícil porque implica que nos vejamos de uma forma mais clara e honesta quando usamos de uma medida objetiva. Ao desviarmos a atenção destes factos, tentamos de alguma forma justificar a nossa corrupção moral. Dizemos adágios populares como: “cada cabeça sua sentença”; isto para esconder um facto incontornável que é a universalidade do mal. Significa isto que o mal quando nasce é para todos, assim como o bem. Não é lógico nem racional defender que a pedofilia é um mal na nossa cultura mas que nas outras culturas não é assim tão mau. Se é um mal é-o naturalmente para a humanidade. Por outro lado defender que as leis morais são exclusivas para um determinado grupo de humanos é concorrer para a ideia de casta social ou diferença na essência do humano. Um outro esquema que nos leva a considerar que o mal é relativo é o facto de ignorarmos de onde provém a definição de mal. É porventura frequente que imbuídos do espírito da democracia ocidental julguemos que a possível definição de mal vem da convenção social, ou seja, daquilo que a maior parte das pessoas acredita ser o mal. Contudo, facilmente percebemos que não é assim, que a definição de mal não provém de convenção social mas que depende de condições preternaturais. Há uma intemporalidade no mal que não depende da época ou da convenção social. Penso que a analogia com a física pode ajudar-nos a perceber melhor estas realidades. Não há uma lei da gravidade diferente para a pessoa A e para a pessoa B, a lei é exatamente a mesma no entanto os corpos movem-se a diferentes velocidades e altitudes portanto sentem-na de formas diferentes. No ramo da psicologia vejo infelizmente um problema sério que se pretende com a excessiva utilização da linguagem terapêutica para falar sobre o mal. É muitíssimo frequente ver uma tentativa de patologizar todos os males. Não negando que o distúrbio psíquico pode estar presente na pessoa que comete um mal, inclusive um mal grave, isso não significa que em muitos casos não haja um assentimento consciente e deliberado da pessoa àquela atitude. Esta linguagem terapêutica levam-nos por vezes a romantizar o mal, e a procurar narrativas que o tornam numa novela sentimental onde a pessoa é sempre rotulada como uma vítima das circunstâncias contextuais, basta vermos o exemplo do marxismo que assim a determina. Nesta ideologia a pessoa comete crimes porque é pobre e foi vetada a uma exclusão social, como se não fosse possível à pessoa pobre seguir um caminho de retidão moral. O filme Joker ilustra bem este aspeto novelesco da romantização do mal. Neste filme a personagem principal, um psicopata degenerado, é retratado como um doente mental que procura fazer “justiça” assassinando inocentes e destruindo património. Devido à pueril noção de agência, responsabilidade individual, e livre arbítrio o mal é quase tratado como uma caminho único, como se a personagem estivesse predestinada aquele mal. > *Joaquin Phoenix - Joker 2019* São muitos os esquemas á nossa volta que além de dissimularem o mal, tentando indicar a sua inexistência, o promovem como sendo um bem. São muitas as mensagens contraditórias que promovem o exercício da vontade humana como um imperativo moral. São também frequentes as apologias à tolerância e empatia para com o mal. Contudo, isto é absurdidade. Como teremos ordem e paz sem combater os males? Como teremos espaço para a virtude quando tudo estiver tomado pelo mal ? Precisamos de filtrar este ruido para perceber de forma mais objetiva qual é a verdadeira face do mal.

What is it about travel that makes us so addicted to it? Chasing the high of the next view, the next location. Is travel always the same as travel? I think certainly not. Is travel valuable? Then what about it provides the value. Because it's different when someone from the same country goes to that attraction, vs when you come from the other side of earth to see it. What do you gain? Up until now travel for me has been stillness with nature, and even within the more social trips like SEC-03 I appreciate the ability to be alone and stare at the waves for hours on end. As I'm doing while typing this. Travel changes over time, as it changes you. It's not about seeing more rockfaces anymore, it's about seeing the details in just one of them. The subtle hints to a far and violent past that formed these layers of rock, now exposed for us to be seen and appreciated. If only we did that more and not just running to so many of these places without appreciating them. Destroying the exact thing we want to see in the process. I really hope mass tourism will come to an end along with the 'social' media that created it. I ended up at a beautiful beach the other day, it came with a freaking waterfall and I saw at least a dozen people only taking basically a photoshoot of themselves or their (girl)friends for 15-30 minutes straight. It doesn't really annoy me but it just makes me wonder, do they actually notice their surroundings and are they actually enjoying the places they go to? I just hope their minds work different from mine and that they actually are enjoying themselves by doing that. As far as mass-tourism goes I wouldn't mind if we replace it with mass-wandering, to places not on the top 10's, not filled with chic hotels and resorts. Just the places that welcome you but won't live to serve you, that is what travel is to me. I've been taking less pictures over time, the ones I take are mostly because I appreciate the composition, especially after watching the same view for over an hour, and suddenly spotting a new detail that I hadn't noticed before. Anyway, I don't even know where I'm going with this, I just felt the need to write down these thoughts...

*This is a random post to try out Reads on Nostr.* For years, I had been waiting for the moment when stability hits my life: a stable place to live, a stable occupation or project, a stable headspace, for that matter. But it never came. And I realize now that it never will. Since childhood my life has been a constant change of domicile, education facilities, etc. I was bron in one place, raised in another, changed 3 kindergartens and 4 schools. Then another move to study in a big city, a move abroad, a comeback and now again... It seems that the average change-stability cycle lasts around 2 years. It seems that the average change-stability cycle lasts around 2 years. It's no wonder that I start feeling stale and bored when life becomes routine, repetitive: my nature rejects it. For a long time, I thought this constant change was a *bug* and I longed stability, especially seeing many people become extremely successful by doing the same thing year after year. That it's a *feature* is a recent revelation. Or, to be precise, it's both a bug and a feature, a two-sided coin like everything in this life. Need to quit a job? Move to another city? Start a company or shut one down? Hire or fire someone? Conceive another child? These life-altering decisoins don't come easy to many people. As a matter of fact, some are totally paralized in life because they're afraid to make a change. But not me. Change is in my blood. The fact that the future is unknown is exciting to me, not scary. And so far, it's worked well. Sure, impulsive decisions often cause unintended consequences and mistakes, but this is exactly how I learn, this is my *modus operandi*. I don't read instructions — I act. > Wow, this guy likes talking about himself! The post is not about me. I just feel that there are many more people with a similar mindset, cultivated this way for various reasons, but even more people whose lives are too stagnant. So I want to say to them: just go for it. The worst and most extreme thing that can happen to you is death. But even that is not so bad: life-long inaction means you're already walking dead, and that is much worse.

Nostr is changing fast, and that's a good thing. I made a "Nostr Wiki" a bit over a year ago (https://nostrwiki.vercel.app), but recently I've realized that a fair amount of the content is already outdated. Stuff has been happening and changing so quickly that a good deal of editing/omission is needed. That's actually a good thing. Means nostr is growing/maturing/evolving. Nothing worse than a project becoming stagnant. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/808964

Reflections on my 26th Time Paddling Out December 2024, North Shore of Oahu Kingdom of Hawai'i I'm watching the waves. Mother Nature is in charge and can change her mind seemingly on a whim. Surfing is a game of patience, slowly learning the sport while building endurance. I just paddled out for the 26th time since starting to surf in 2020, when I moved to Oahu for three months and lived on the North Shore for most of that time. What have I learned? I often think entrepreneurship is like surfing. Staying in the game, making the choice to be there and stay relevant and show your worth. Staying up, doing what it takes. Strength. Having fun, being profitable and marketing what you do to inspire others. Since then, I’ve lived on Oahu for 2-3 months a year most years, coming up on ten months total now. Besides surfing Chuns Reef, Malaekahana, Waikiki Beach, Publics and Baby Queens, I’ve been planning my coworking and coliving around the world at locations where there are beginner surf breaks. Nosara and Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, Freights Bay, Barbados, La Jolla Shores, San Diego and Ponto, Encinitas/Leucadia/Carlsbad. Kedungu, Bali. Canary Islands. Biarritz. More place around Waikiki, Freddys on a small day and even my sister’s pool. It's lifestyle. After this 26th time out surfing, I sense real progress. There’s often months between each surfing session, and even so, the skills accumulate. Now I get up on every run, and stay on the board. It’s fun. My photographer says I'm doing something that not many can do. His words are a Wow 🤩 a wake o wonder and add to the adrenaline rush. If I were to really continue with my surf workouts, and move to a place where it’s easy to surf any time the conditions are good, I could get really good. Single-minded purpose is needed. Surfing, like entrepreneurship, is a sport where what you put in is what you get out. By the way, I’m writing this from a picnic table in the Ehukai / Pipeline beach parking lot, and the Vans Pipe Masters competition is on. The women paddled out earlier to today, where four heats of surfing happened. There 20 women competing in this year’s contest, and 40 men. Surfing stats have come a long way in recent years. Can VC funding stats for women also see such progress? I say yes, as our product goes next level. I cover the building in public of MyLibrarian in other blogs, so you see. In short, I’ve done the work. Our product has thousands of users in beta, we've applied for a provisional patent and we're looking to clear $1M in revenue in 2025. Surfing our way to success and better book recommendations, freedom to read for all. Curiously, I have not surfed in my home city of San Francisco, or its environs. Too cold? Can I adapt? I'm home now, for good. On Playa Hermosa near Ste Teresa CR, I paddled out with Del Soul surf company and the instructor said to me, You are very lucky, you are a woman who surfs. You will always be healthy if you surf. Healthy, in body, mind and spirit. Healthy is wealthy. That’s a worthy goal. I think I’ll keep going.—MEZ Read more at https://www.michellezaffino.com/why-surfing-makes-me-a-better-entrepreneur/

**Table Of Content** - The Birth of Tokenized Bitcoin - How Does Tokenized Bitcoin Work? - The Advantages of tBTC Over Traditional Bitcoin - Expanding the Utility of Bitcoin - The Future of Tokenized Bitcoin - Conclusion - FAQ In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency, Bitcoin remains the gold standard. However, its traditional form has faced challenges, especially when it comes to transaction speeds and adaptability. Enter the tokenized version of Bitcoin on Solana, a solution that promises to address these issues. But what exactly is this new tokenized Bitcoin, and why is it causing such a stir in the crypto community? Let's dive in. **The Birth of Tokenized Bitcoin** Bitcoin, with its unmatched popularity, has always been at the forefront of the cryptocurrency industry. Yet, its primary blockchain has been criticized for being slow in adopting new features, making smaller transactions both time-consuming and expensive. To address these challenges, the Threshold Network introduced the first tokenized version of Bitcoin, known as tBTC, on the Solana blockchain. This innovation aims to bridge the gap between Bitcoin's value and its transactional limitations. **How Does Tokenized Bitcoin Work?** The concept might sound complex, but it's rooted in simplicity. Imagine you have a physical gold bar but find it cumbersome to use in daily transactions. Instead, you get a certificate (or token) representing that gold bar, which you can easily trade or use. Similarly, when someone mints tBTC on Solana, they send their Bitcoin to be "wrapped". This wrapping process involves a decentralized review where the crypto is held in a special wallet. This wallet's authenticity is validated by a majority of people operating nodes on the Threshold Network. Once validated, you receive tBTC equivalent to the Bitcoin you wrapped, which can be used seamlessly on the Solana blockchain. **The Advantages of tBTC Over Traditional Bitcoin** Traditional Bitcoin has its limitations, especially when it comes to smart contracts. Even with advancements like the Lightning Network, these limitations persist. tBTC, on the other hand, offers a more flexible approach. It acts as a proof of ownership, allowing users to prove they possess a certain amount of Bitcoin. Moreover, if they ever wish to revert to their original Bitcoin, they can easily trade their tBTC to claim it back. This process ensures security, as a significant majority of validators must approve the transaction, minimizing the risk of malicious intent. **Expanding the Utility of Bitcoin** One of the most exciting aspects of tBTC is its potential to revolutionize how Bitcoin is used. Traditional Bitcoin holders, if they wished to take a loan against their holdings, had to rely on centralized platforms, which came with their own set of risks. With tBTC, however, they can leverage their Bitcoin on the Solana blockchain, bypassing the limitations of the traditional Bitcoin network. This means they can take out loans, earn yields, and even use their Bitcoin in decentralized exchanges, offering a level of flexibility previously unheard of. **The Future of Tokenized Bitcoin** Tokenized Bitcoin, especially tBTC on Solana, is a groundbreaking advancement, but it's just the beginning of a broader trend. Other major blockchains, such as Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon, have also integrated this concept, showcasing the growing appeal and versatility of tokenized Bitcoin. This widespread adoption underscores the crypto community's belief in its potential, making Bitcoin more adaptable and enhancing its interoperability across different platforms. Moreover, the rising trust in tokenized Bitcoin suggests a promising trajectory for the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector. As tokenized assets become more mainstream, platforms like Solana stand to benefit immensely, heralding a new era for the entire DeFi ecosystem. The embrace of tokenized Bitcoin is not just a win for Bitcoin itself but a testament to the evolving dynamics of the crypto world. **Conclusion** The introduction of tBTC on Solana is more than just a technological advancement; it's a testament to the crypto community's relentless pursuit of innovation.

## America's Fourth Fourth Turning We can learn much from the Book "The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy" By [William Strauss](https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/107130.William_Strauss) and [Neil Howe](https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/29703.Neil_Howe). The Book looks back throughout history to identify the cyclical patterns that emerge and establishes archetypes that emerges in the generations as they come of age in these different stages of history. There are four phases (turnings) that are outlined in the book: 1. The High 2. The Awakening 3. The Unraveling 4. The Crisis The authors identify that America is due for another fourth turning, and I would argue that we are now in the midst of America's Fourth ever fourth turning. The first three being marked by the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the Great Depression- WWII. Today we have been in an increasingly unstable financial, political, and social environment which share eery similarities to the unraveling period of the prior cycles. I believe that this fourth turning began with the 2008 "Great Financial Crisis" and has been ongoing ever since the fed chose to engage in mass currency devaluation in order to keep the banks solvent. While these actions have delayed the inevitable larger crisis, they will not be able to avoid it. Since 2008 the money supply has grown from roughly $8 Trillion to over $20 Trillion. This massive currency dilution is reflected in increased prices across all sectors but heavily concentrated in scarce desirable assets. As National debt continues to rise and interest expenses balloon, the only way out for the US dollar is massive inflation. The issue with continued inflation is that it leads to massive societal suffering and unrest. At 2% inflation most individuals aren't aware that they are being stolen from, but as inflation rates start to stick above 10% people start to realize what is really going on. History tells us that as currencies enter into hyper-inflation, the societal fabric begins to fall apart. One does not have to be an anthropologist to look around and realize the massive cultural shifts that we have seen since moving to a fiat standard in 1971 and much faster ever since 2008. I find it very profound that at the same time that the global financial system began showing cracks, Satoshi Nakamoto introduced the solution to the world. It feels as though this fourth turning is centered around technological innovation in computing, as well as the collapse of an outdated and corrupt financial system. Bitcoin exists at the perfect intersection of these two by utilizing cryptography to empower people to exit the corrupt system and begin to build a superior one on sound foundation. If the crisis of this great fourth turning is centered around the sovereign debt crisis, than Bitcoin becomes the clear answer. ## Thriving In The Chaos Being Born in 2001 I do not have much memory of a pre-2008 world. Being only 7 years old at the time I did not fully grasp the significance of what was going on, but my life has been impacted by it nonetheless. When the central bank chooses to hold interest rates artificially low, they are effectively driving money into more and more places where it shouldn't actually be. This is usually described as a bubble, which then bursts leaving many financially ruined. Accept for those who the central bank then chooses to bail out by diluting the purchasing power of all the savers. Much of the Millenial and Gen Z generations feel that they will never reach financial security or be able own a home and retire at a reasonable age. Many of them are saddled with large student loans, credit card debt, and car loans. While much of this is due to personal decision making, we exist in a system today that is designed to extract as much value as possible from each citizen. If you were to take out a loan to go to school, get a job, a mortgage, and a car payment, and used a savings account, you would never become financially free. People my age have become increasingly unsatisfied with the way that things are, which is why I am so hopeful for a brighter future. While most aren't quite aware of what the true heart of the issue is, they feel that something is deeply wrong. I believe that Bitcoin will be the catalyst for the masses to wake up and stop funding the current system. Those that lead the way into a new frontier during these fourth turnings come out on the other side in positions of great respect and power. While these next few years will likely difficult, there will be massive opportunity for those who are bold enough to stand for their beliefs and work to propagate them.

<center> (*special to nostr*)<br>by Duncan Cary Palmer<br>13 December 2023</center> <br> ## Though volatile, <br> when properly understood, bitcoin is the protocol that will ultimately absorb and represent *all* the present and future wealth of humanity. Even in the end-game—after the last satoshi has been mined and all bitcoin is in circulation—bitcoin will continuously increase in value as mankind, year upon year, creates and introduces new wealth into the world. While estimates of the annual benefit vary, a bitcoinized world will likely enjoy a minimum of five percent annual deflation, and more likely twelve percent or more. <br> <br> Because of this, you know that **EVERY** transaction that involves your selling or spending bitcoin is a transaction that will ultimately benefit the bitcoin recipient infinitely more than it presently benefits you. <br><br> ## For many reasons, <br> you will of course continue to transact, <br><br> One is necessity; bitcoin will have become the only money that most are willing to accept, all others being evidently inferior. <br><br> You will have to spend bitcoin for goods and services that you may need or want, or else have to barter or work for them. <br><br> If you have been prudent enough to retire on bitcoin, you may occasionally need to exchange it for some lesser currency, knowing full well you are on the losing end of the bargain, though it benefit you *in the moment*. <br><br> ## My point is this: <br> You need never feel *any* remorse for the other party when spending, exchanging, or selling your bitcoin. Even if its apparent momentary value may fluctuate wildly, bitcoin is as sure to rise as tomorrow's Sun. It's now up to the recipient to either ***hodl***, or be on the losing end of the next transaction. #bitcoin #philosophy #economics #worldview #viewpoint

The trajectory of human progress is marked by seismic shifts in wealth, power, and knowledge. Over centuries, these tectonic movements have reshaped the global narrative, transitioning the spear-tip of innovation and dominance from East to West. Today, as global tensions rise and multipolarity challenges the unipolar financial order, it’s worth examining the periods of change and the forces that realigned the axis of human progress through the lens of technological and financial evolution. --- 1. The East’s Preeminence: The Age of Soft Power and Real Assets Period: Antiquity to 15th Century For millennia, wealth and knowledge flowed from East to West. Civilizations like India, China, and the Islamic Caliphates were centers of human progress. These regions excelled in technological innovation, financial stability (e.g., China’s early use of paper currency in the Tang Dynasty), and cultural capital. Financial Dominance: Real assets like spices, textiles, and gold formed the backbone of trade. The Silk Road acted as a decentralized value network, with wealth flowing from resource-rich East Asia to demand-heavy Europe. Knowledge Arbitrage: Eastern empires perfected systems of governance, mathematics, and astronomy. Indian numerals became the foundation of global mathematics, while Chinese engineering inspired innovations in navigation. Yet, despite its dominance, the East’s wealth was tied to a fragile, physical-based trade network, leaving it vulnerable to external shocks. --- 2. The Renaissance and the Maritime Arbitrage of Knowledge Period: 15th–17th Century The fall of Constantinople in 1453 was a geopolitical rug pull, severing Europe’s access to Eastern trade routes. In response, European nations innovated maritime trade routes, circumventing old supply chains. This era saw the financialization of exploration through state-backed joint-stock companies like the Dutch East India Company (VOC), a precursor to modern equity markets. Leverage and Liquidity: The VOC issued the first publicly traded shares, creating a new mechanism for wealth generation: equity capital. Wealth shifted west as Europe commoditized Eastern resources at unprecedented scale. Techno-Geopolitical Advantage: Innovations in shipbuilding, navigation, and weaponry gave European powers a first-mover advantage in global trade, tipping the economic balance. Europe began consolidating wealth and influence, laying the groundwork for the first financial superpowers. --- 3. The Industrial Revolution: Scaling Innovation and Debt Capital Period: 18th–19th Century The Industrial Revolution was the ultimate shift from real to synthetic wealth creation. Britain’s coal-powered factories and mechanized production allowed for the exponential scaling of goods and services, bypassing the labor-intensive economies of the East. Debt as an Asset Class: The Bank of England pioneered modern public finance, using national debt to fund wars and infrastructure. Debt markets became a weapon of geopolitical influence, solidifying Britain’s dominance. Data and Capital Flows: Knowledge transitioned from artisanal secrets to open-source intellectual property. The invention of the telegraph—a precursor to modern networks—centralized information flow in the West. During this period, colonies were repurposed as raw material hubs, while the West monetized finished goods. The East’s economies, trapped in colonial dependency, were stripped of agency. --- 4. The Dollar Standard: The West Consolidates Financial Hegemony Period: 20th Century The world wars were financial accelerants, propelling the U.S. to global supremacy. Post-World War II, the Bretton Woods system tied global currencies to the U.S. dollar, itself pegged to gold. By 1971, the gold standard was abandoned, and fiat-backed dollars became the world’s reserve currency—a geopolitical masterstroke. Petrodollar Diplomacy: The U.S. engineered a system where oil, the lifeblood of modern economies, was traded exclusively in dollars. This created an artificial demand for U.S. currency, reinforcing its global dominance. Technology Arms Race: The Cold War spurred investments in computing, satellites, and the internet. These technologies cemented the West as the epicenter of innovation, while the Eastern bloc stagnated under centralized planning. The East, particularly China and India, entered a period of economic dormancy, while the West built the foundation for the modern financialized economy. --- 5. The Digital Era: The Resurgence of the East and Blockchain’s Decentralization Period: 21st Century As the 20th century ended, cracks in Western hegemony began to appear. The East, particularly China, leveraged its demographic dividend and state-driven capitalism to re-enter the global stage. Simultaneously, blockchain and decentralized finance (DeFi) began eroding trust in centralized financial systems. China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI): A modern Silk Road, the BRI channels liquidity and infrastructure investment into developing nations, countering Western-led institutions like the IMF and World Bank. Bitcoin and DeFi: Bitcoin, as a decentralized reserve asset, challenges fiat’s monopoly on monetary sovereignty. Decentralized systems offer an alternative to SWIFT-based cross-border payments, reducing reliance on Western financial networks. The U.S. and its allies now face a multipolar world where traditional financial instruments are being disrupted by distributed ledger technology and Eastern economic strategies. --- 6. Geopolitical Tensions: A New Cold War of Data and Energy The current geopolitical climate is defined by competition over intangible assets: data, semiconductors, and clean energy technologies. The East and West are locked in a race to dominate artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and blockchain infrastructure. Data Sovereignty: Nations are weaponizing data localization laws and AI to gain competitive edges in surveillance capitalism and defense. Energy Markets: The West’s pivot to green energy and the East’s dominance in rare earth minerals create asymmetric dependencies. The financial spear-tip of human progress is no longer unilateral. The West’s financial systems, underpinned by debt and derivatives, face a fundamental challenge from the East’s state-capitalist model and decentralized digital assets. --- Conclusion: The Dawn of a Decentralized World The historical narrative of human progress has been a pendulum swing between centralized and decentralized systems. While the East dominated through physical assets and trade, the West shifted to financialization and industrial scale. Now, we stand on the precipice of another transformation: a decentralized financial and technological order where power is no longer tied to geography but to networks. The tip of the spear of human progress is no longer a single entity but a fragmented, multi-nodal system. Whether this leads to collaboration or conflict depends on how the world navigates this unprecedented inflection point.

#### Background **The free Alby account is going away** by Jan 3rd 2025. With this users have options to switch to either self hosted Alby Hub or hosted Alby Hub for 21k sats per month (see https://albyhub.com/). Unfortunatelly neither of these options work for me. - I'm currently traveling a lot without a single base home, so I can't just run some server "at home" and I want to be able to use it even when I'm in the midst of moving between locations. - 21k sats/month for Alby Hub is too steep just for using it for Nostr zaps. I'd pay more for the service than what I ever get in zaps. I'm happy to support projects, but the math just doesn't work out. - Running lightning node, etc in VPS is also prohibitively expensive for this usecase, but I may end up eventually doing this for other reasons. Getting VPS strong enough for self hosted node is around $80/month, but there are also options like https://nodana.io/ for $10/month. (Shill me better options if you have) If there is a way to run a selft-custodial solution with these requirements (i.e. no "home" node, cheap for small amount zapping), let me know, otherwise this will do and we'll have to wait for BOLT12 in lnd. ## Tutorial So here's the plan - Get coinos.io account - Connect it with Amethyst via NWC - Install Alby Go to make it easier to use the account on the go Here are the steps to do on your Android phone. iOS will be similar - Get [Amethyst](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitorpamplona.amethyst&hl=en&gl=US) nostr app installed - Go to https://coinos.io/ , register new account and sign in. - On the main screen click on the settings gear icon and get the connection code  - Reveal and copy the connection strings (tap on Copy) - Open Amethyst and hold the lightning icon under any post - Tap the "paste" button (see the screenshot)  - Now click on Save and that's it - Zapping should now work natively in Amethyst and it will use the hosted wallet Optional - One extra thing you can do here is to install Alby Go (https://albygo.com/) and use the same "connection string" to connect it to your coinos.io account. This way you will have a mobile native wallet that's connected to this account (which makes it easier to pay with it, etc) originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/808573

*Das Betriebsklima ist das einzige Klima,* \ *das du selbst bestimmen kannst.* \ *Anonym* **Eine Strategie zur Anpassung an den Klimawandel** hat das deutsche Bundeskabinett diese Woche [beschlossen](https://www.bundesregierung.de/breg-de/aktuelles/klimaanpassungsstrategie-2024-2324828). Da «Wetterextreme wie die immer häufiger auftretenden Hitzewellen und Starkregenereignisse» oft desaströse Auswirkungen auf Mensch und Umwelt hätten, werde eine Anpassung an die Folgen des Klimawandels immer wichtiger. «Klimaanpassungsstrategie» nennt die Regierung das.&#x20; **Für die «Vorsorge vor Klimafolgen» habe man nun erstmals** klare Ziele und messbare Kennzahlen festgelegt. So sei der Erfolg überprüfbar, und das solle zu einer schnelleren Bewältigung der Folgen führen. Dass sich hinter dem Begriff Klimafolgen nicht Folgen des Klimas, sondern wohl «Folgen der globalen Erwärmung» verbergen, erklärt den Interessierten die Wikipedia. Dabei ist das mit der [Erwärmung](https://transition-news.org/studie-ozeane-kuhlen-die-erde-viel-starker-als-gedacht) ja bekanntermaßen so eine Sache. **Die Zunahme schwerer Unwetterereignisse habe gezeigt,** so das Ministerium, wie wichtig eine frühzeitige und effektive Warnung der Bevölkerung sei. Daher solle es eine deutliche Anhebung der Nutzerzahlen der sogenannten Nina-Warn-App geben. **Die** ***ARD*** **spurt wie gewohnt** und setzt die Botschaft zielsicher um. Der Artikel [beginnt](https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/innenpolitik/klima-anpassung-warnapp-100.html) folgendermaßen: > «Die Flut im Ahrtal war ein Schock für das ganze Land. Um künftig besser gegen Extremwetter gewappnet zu sein, hat die Bundesregierung eine neue Strategie zur Klimaanpassung beschlossen. Die Warn-App Nina spielt eine zentrale Rolle. Der Bund will die Menschen in Deutschland besser vor Extremwetter-Ereignissen warnen und dafür die Reichweite der Warn-App Nina deutlich erhöhen.» **Die Kommunen würden bei ihren «Klimaanpassungsmaßnahmen»** vom Zentrum KlimaAnpassung [unterstützt](https://zentrum-klimaanpassung.de/ueber-uns), schreibt das Umweltministerium. Mit dessen Aufbau wurden das Deutsche Institut für Urbanistik gGmbH, welches sich stark für [Smart City-Projekte](https://difu.de/taxonomy/term/2083) engagiert, und die Adelphi Consult GmbH beauftragt. **Adelphi** **[beschreibt](https://adelphi.de/de)** **sich selbst als «Europas führender Think-and-Do-Tank** und eine unabhängige Beratung für Klima, Umwelt und Entwicklung». Sie seien «global vernetzte Strateg\*innen und weltverbessernde Berater\*innen» und als «Vorreiter der sozial-ökologischen Transformation» sei man mit dem Deutschen Nachhaltigkeitspreis ausgezeichnet worden, welcher sich an den Zielen der Agenda 2030 orientiere. **Über die** **[Warn-App](https://www.bbk.bund.de/DE/Warnung-Vorsorge/Warn-App-NINA/warn-app-nina_node.html)** **mit dem niedlichen Namen Nina,** die möglichst jeder auf seinem Smartphone installieren soll, informiert das Bundesamt für Bevölkerungsschutz und Katastrophenhilfe (BBK). Gewarnt wird nicht nur vor Extrem-Wetterereignissen, sondern zum Beispiel auch vor Waffengewalt und Angriffen, Strom- und anderen Versorgungsausfällen oder Krankheitserregern. Wenn man die Kategorie Gefahreninformation wählt, erhält man eine Dosis von ungefähr zwei Benachrichtigungen pro Woche. **Beim BBK erfahren wir auch einiges über die empfohlenen** **[Systemeinstellungen](https://www.bbk.bund.de/DE/Warnung-Vorsorge/Warn-App-NINA/Einstellungen-Android/einstellungen-android_node.html)** für Nina. Der Benutzer möge zum Beispiel den Zugriff auf die Standortdaten «immer zulassen», und zwar mit aktivierter Funktion «genauen Standort verwenden». Die Datennutzung solle unbeschränkt sein, auch im Hintergrund. Außerdem sei die uneingeschränkte Akkunutzung zu aktivieren, der Energiesparmodus auszuschalten und das Stoppen der App-Aktivität bei Nichtnutzung zu unterbinden. **Dass man so dramatische Ereignisse wie damals im Ahrtal auch anders bewerten kann** als Regierungen und Systemmedien, hat meine Kollegin Wiltrud Schwetje anhand der Tragödie im spanischen [Valencia](https://transition-news.org/valencia-zehn-tage-nach-der-katastrophe-warten-viele-menschen-immer-noch-auf) gezeigt. Das Stichwort «Agenda 2030» taucht dabei in einem Kontext auf, der wenig mit Nachhaltigkeitspreisen zu tun hat. *** Dieser Beitrag ist zuerst auf *[Transition News](https://transition-news.org/vorsorge-vor-klimafolgen)* erschienen.

I blew it last week, going 2-3. I shouldn’t have taken the Jets, I knew it was a mistake. I don’t care how right the side looked either, the Jets are cursed. I liked the Rams and Panthers, but didn’t pull the trigger. Too much second guessing and overthinking. Either you have a model and stick to its outputs, or you go on feel, and you trust yourself 100 percent. Don’t question, just act. If you make an error, you can reassess next week, incorporate it into your process. **Dolphins +2.5 at Texans** — I’m sure this is the game the Texans turn it around, but as someone whose otherwise solid Primetime team was derailed by CJ Stroud and the bankrupt passing game, I took the Dolphins and the points. **Chiefs -4 at Browns** — I know the Chiefs are life and death with everyone, but this seems too small. Jameis Winston will turn it over a few times against this defense, and the Chiefs will move up and down the field. **Steelers +5 at Eagles** — The Eagles are good against bad teams, but the Steelers are a rock defensively, and I think they’ll hang. **Lions -2.5 vs Bills** — I had this line at four. The Lions are the better team, even with the banged-up defense. **Packers -2.5 at Seahawks** — The Seahawks have been good of late, but the Packers went toe to toe with the Lions and had a full 10 days off. I think they win and cover.

Через две недели известный музыкант IGR посетит Горноправдинск. Об этом он заявил в своём телеграм-канале. Игорь "IGR" Романов пишет хип-хоп и трэп. В своём жанре у музыканта уже есть имя, и мнения о нём у поклонников хип-хопа сильно различаются — споры вызывают как откровенно провокационные тексты артиста, так и его личная жизнь. Напомним, несколькими месяцами ранее IGR был задержан силовиками как участник несогласованного митинга в Санкт-Петербурге. Музыкант высказал свою радикальную позицию и был задержан за неповиновение сотруднику полиции. "Его музыка заставляет задуматься, но иногда кажется, что он просто провоцирует ради провокации", — делится мнением наша читательница Ольга, которая не уверена, стоит ли идти на концерт. "Я люблю музыку, но некоторые его песни слишком откровенны", — добавляет она. <iframe width="720" height="405" src="https://rutube.ru/play/embed/8479ce8099ed6bc53f49d0145fea2cad" frameBorder="0" allow="clipboard-write; autoplay" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe> "IGR— это голос поколения! Его тексты отражают наши мысли и чувства, даже если они вызывают споры", — считает 17-летний Дмитрий. Он купил билет в первый же день после анонса концерта и намерен приехать на концерт из Новосибирска. Выступление пройдёт в Дворце культуры. Цены на билеты колеблются от 1800 до 8000 рублей.

27 октября 2040 года в Горноправдинске, небольшом, но прогрессивном посёлке Югры, состоялась презентация уникального бренда экологичной одежды. Созданная местной дизайнеркой Верой Ивановной Семёновой, эта линия одежды обещает не только красивую и стильную, но и устойчивую моду, полностью изготавливаемую из переработанных материалов. Уникальность бренда заключается в том, что модели — это исключительно женщины пожилого возраста, что делает данный проект ещё более социально значимым.  ## Устойчивое развитие как основа идеи Горноправдинск давно зарекомендовал себя как местечко, где экология и устойчивое развитие стоят во главе всего. Здесь активно развиваются инициативы по переработке отходов и рациональному использованию природных ресурсов. Презентация нового бренда стала логическим продолжением этих усилий. Одежда из вторсырья не только уменьшает количество отходов, но и снижает воздействие на окружающую среду. По данным исследований, текстильная промышленность является одним из крупнейших источников загрязнения в мире. В этом контексте важно осознавать влияние, которое каждый из нас может оказать на природу, выбирая экологически чистые альтернативы. Согласно информации от независимой экологической организации, производство ткани из вторичных материалов требует в три раза меньше воды, чем традиционные методы. Это выгодно не только для экологии, но и для экономики. Более того, использование вторичных материалов позволяет снижать углеродный след, что критически важно в условиях глобального изменения климата. ## Творение как вдохновение Вера Ивановна Семёнова — не просто дизайнер, но и активист, призывающий к переменам. Её новый бренд стал результатом многолетнего труда и экспериментов. Вера патентует уникальные технологии переработки тканей и создания новых моделей, которые одновременно сочетали в себе стиль и комфорт.  "Я хочу показать, что мода может быть не только красивой, но и умной", - говорит Вера в интервью. Она расставляет акценты на том, что её коллекция будет выходить за рамки стандартного понимания экологии. Модельный ряд включает в себя как повседневную, так и вечернюю одежду. Каждая вещь несёт в себе уникальную историю переработанного материала, а сами ткани отобраны так, чтобы гарантировать долговечность и стиль. ## Открывая новые горизонты для пожилых женщин Эти модели — не просто одежда, это символ изменений. Важным аспектом нового бренда является то, что модели — это женщины пожилого возраста. В нашем обществе часто встречается предвзятое отношение к возрасту, и многие пожилые женщины сталкиваются с трудностями в поисках работы или возможности проявить себя. <iframe width="720" height="405" src="https://rutube.ru/play/embed/9dc5c3fa5acb4ca7157c1d9e6defd1bd" frameBorder="0" allow="clipboard-write; autoplay" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe> Горноправдинск стал первой площадкой, где пожилые женщины, обладая опытом и мудротой, получили возможность стать лицами модной индустрии. Этот шаг отразит новое понимание о красоте и стилю, которое не привязано к возрасту. Публика сможет увидеть, что настоящая красота исходит из внутреннего содержания, а не из стандартных шаблонов. Опросы показали, что большинство людей не воспринимает пожилых женщин как моделей. Но проект Веры Семёновой может стать началом новой эры, в которой возраст будет праздноваться, а не скрываться. Это не только проект по созданию одежды, но и социальная инициатива, ставящая вопрос о равенстве и возможностях для всех. ## Модные тренды и экологическое сознание В рамках презентации были представлены несколько моделей, каждая из которых рассказывала свою историю. Одежда создана из переработанных материалов: старых футболок, джинсов и текстиля, который больше не пригоден для использования в первоначальном виде. Каждая модель была выполнена с учетом последних модных тенденций: яркие цвета, уникальные принты и современные силуэты. Важным аспектом новой коллекции является также то, что для её создания использовались умные технологии, позволяющие минимизировать отходы. Вера указала на то, что каждое изделие было разработано с использованием принципа zero waste, что подразумевает полное отсутствие отходов. Это значительно понижает стоимость конечного продукта и делает его доступным для широкого круга любителей моды.  Эксперты предположили, что такой подход может стать новым стандартом в модной индустрии, потому что он отвечает современным требованиям рынка и эволюционным ожиданиям покупателей. Люди всё больше начинают заботиться о том, каким образом производится одежда, и предпочитают brands, поддерживающие идеалы устойчивого развития.

Автор: Павел Густой, который дважды поперхнулся молоком, услышав слово «причал». ### Старое железо и новая эпоха Двадцать лет назад набережная Горноправдинска выглядела так, как будто ее проектировал инженер, вдохновленный своей последней опохмелкой. Ржавеющая баржа, служившая причалом, стояла на месте, словно памятник бессмысленности. Жители, подходя к ней, задавались лишь одним вопросом: «А мы точно успеем до корабля, пока она не развалится?»  Но 2040-й год стал годом, когда бабушки, эти легендарные управленцы Горноправдинска, решили: хватит. Видимо, они устали, что даже жители Бобровки шутят про их набережную, называя её «Порт Стыда». ### Экологичный причал и другие чудеса Реформа была громкой, как взрыв сыроварни. Теперь вместо ржавой баржи — современный экологичный причал. Он сделан из переработанного пластика и бетона, настолько крепкого, что даже утиный десант из соседнего водохранилища не смог его повредить.  «Мы думали о будущем, о наших детях и внуках», — заявила одна из бабушек, поглаживая внушительный скипетр в виде бутылки молока. Правда, злые языки утверждают, что пластик для причала собирали в основном в Бобровке, где люди искренне надеялись, что это поможет им самим. ### Набережная — теперь с развлечениями! Но на этом бабушки не остановились. Новый причал стал центром масштабного благоустройства. Что там теперь есть? 1. Большой магазин. Под названием «Молочная правда». Говорят, что если долго смотреть на его логотип, можно разгадать секрет бабушкиных масонов.  2. Зоны отдыха. Здесь все продумано до мелочей: лавочки с подогревом для больных суставов, мусорные урны, которые цитируют Бродского, и фонтаны, работающие исключительно на сыворотке. <iframe width="720" height="405" src="https://rutube.ru/play/embed/8ffd65ab03add06b3a628bca1015653a" frameBorder="0" allow="clipboard-write; autoplay" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe> 3. Промзона. Построенная так, чтобы туристы и не поняли, что смотрят на завод. «Это арт-объект!» — гордо утверждают бабушки. На фасаде предприятия висит баннер с надписью: *"От молока до металла: мы можем всё!"*  ### Критика: куда без неё? Конечно, реформа понравилась не всем. Некоторые горноправдинцы ворчат, что набережная слишком идеальна, что даже коровы боятся здесь пастись. Другие шутят, что вместо прогулочной зоны бабушки могли бы построить парк развлечений для жителей Бобровки, где вместо билетов продавали бы надежду. «Это всё для туристов», — жалуются местные, стоя в очереди за молоком. В ответ бабушки молчат. Они слишком заняты, вероятно, обсуждением нового проекта: ходят слухи о запуске молочного дирижабля. ### Что дальше? Набережная Горноправдинска — это, конечно, не про корабли и причалы. Это символ, дорогие мои. Символ того, что даже в городе, где всем управляют бабушки, возможно обновление. Пусть и с долей черного юмора, пластика и неизменного молочного послевкусия. И всё же, когда смотришь на новый причал, где люди счастливо прогуливаются под солнцем, а где-то вдалеке доносится звук загрузки молока на баржу, понимаешь: Горноправдинск в который раз доказал, что он — город контрастов.

Вчера, 21 ноября, в деревне Бобровка, расположенной в одном из самых живописных уголков нашей страны, случился масштабный пожар, который уничтожил несколько домов и хозяйственных построек. Пожарные службы были оперативно направлены на место происшествия, но, несмотря на все усилия, огонь продолжал бушевать несколько часов. Установить точную причину возгорания оказалось задачей не из лёгких, однако, как стало известно, причиной пожара стала абсолютно невероятная и, на первый взгляд, абсурдная ситуация. <iframe width="720" height="405" src="https://rutube.ru/play/embed/737bcdce510b25b109e833d84486d176" frameBorder="0" allow="clipboard-write; autoplay" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe> В деревне Бобровка местные жители утверждают, что причиной возгорания стал эксперимент с «горячей» новой разработкой – умным термосом, который, по задумке разработчиков, должен был поддерживать идеальную температуру напитков на протяжении суток. Однако, как выяснилось, термос оказался настолько «умным», что, не дождавшись своего «реального» срока эксплуатации, просто взорвался. По словам экспертов, устройство в какой-то момент решило провести «самодиагностику» и не выдержало своей собственной мощности, запустив цепную реакцию, которая привела к возгоранию. Необычный инцидент, разумеется, сразу привлек внимание прессы, а местные жители стали активно обсуждать ситуацию, удивляясь, как такие инновации могут попасть в руки обывателей. «Когда я купила этот термос, мне казалось, что это просто удобный аксессуар для долгих прогулок с чаем. Но чтобы он так рванул, как граната, этого я не ожидала!» – рассказывает местная жительница, потерпевшая от огня. Комментарий потерпевшего: «Я никогда не думала, что мой любимый термос станет причиной такого бедствия. Он был подарком на день рождения, а я так гордилась им! Поставила на подоконник, чтобы чай остыл, и тут – бац! Всё вспыхнуло. Сначала я подумала, что это просто горячий чай, но когда увидела, что термос сам по себе светится, я поняла, что что-то пошло не так. Пожарные приехали быстро, но дом всё равно сгорел. Теперь я, честно говоря, боюсь пить чай в термосах, даже если они обещают быть умными!»  Местные власти заявили, что это происшествие станет поводом для пересмотра стандартов безопасности на рынке бытовых товаров. В ближайшее время планируется провести расследование и наложить запрет на использование «самодиагностирующих» устройств в бытовой сфере.

One of the most rewarding aspects of escorting is the opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives. Beyond physical intimacy, this work often provides emotional connection, companionship, and confidence to those who might otherwise feel isolated or overlooked. --- ### **The Power of Listening** Many clients come to me with more than physical desires—they’re seeking someone to talk to, someone who truly listens without judgment. - **Creating a safe space:** I offer clients a place to express themselves openly, which is often something they can’t find elsewhere. - **Building trust:** Genuine connection comes from empathy and understanding, which I strive to offer in every interaction. --- ### **Boosting Confidence** For some clients, a booking isn’t just about pleasure—it’s about reclaiming a sense of self-worth. - **Empowering moments:** Whether it’s helping someone rediscover their confidence or simply making them feel seen and valued, these experiences leave a lasting impact. - **Celebrating individuality:** I make an effort to recognise and celebrate what makes each client unique. --- ### **Easing Loneliness** Loneliness is a common theme among clients, whether they’re dealing with busy lives, difficult relationships, or personal challenges. - **Providing companionship:** A few hours of connection can bring warmth and comfort to someone’s day. - **Filling a void:** Escorting offers a sense of closeness that many clients may not find elsewhere. --- ### **Breaking Down Barriers** For clients with disabilities, social anxieties, or other challenges, traditional dating can feel inaccessible. Escorting provides a way for them to experience connection without those barriers. - **Creating inclusive experiences:** I tailor my approach to meet each client’s needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and respected. - **Challenging stigmas:** Every client deserves to feel desired and valued, and I’m proud to play a role in making that a reality. --- ### **The Personal Reward** Knowing that I’ve brought happiness, comfort, or confidence to someone’s life is deeply fulfilling. It reminds me that escorting is about so much more than appearances—it’s about human connection and care. --- ### **The Takeaway** Helping others through escorting is one of the most satisfying parts of my work. Whether it’s offering a listening ear, easing loneliness, or boosting confidence, every connection reinforces the importance of compassion and kindness. Tomorrow, I’ll explore how discretion plays a pivotal role in maintaining trust and privacy in this profession. Rebecca x

## К 2040 году Горноправдинск, несмотря на динамичное экономическое развитие, столкнулся с рядом серьёзных демографических проблем. Средний уровень жизни в Горноправдинске за последние несколько лет резко увеличился. Люди стали жить дольше. Но проблема со старением населения, бывшая актуальной ещё двадцать лет назад, осталась — и более того, она набирает обороты. Население города стареет — а значит, трудоспособного населения становится всё меньше. Это вызывает весьма серьёзное беспокойство у властей. — ***У нас есть всё, чтобы молодое поколение выбрало Горноправдинск своим домом*** — новые рабочие места, красивая природа, инфраструктуру мы тоже развиваем. У нас тут много работников сферы IT, но на некоторых производствах не хватает рабочих, а социальный сектор от дефицита кадров страдает особенно сильно. Учителей у нас мало, например. Непопулярная это нынче профессия у молодых. — заявляет Агафья Семёновна, пресс-секретарь городской администрации.  Демографическая ситуация также осложняется низкими показателями рождаемости. Молодые люди, которые остаются в посёлке, зачастую ставят своим приоритетом не планирование семьи, а карьерный рост и саморазвитие. Многие просто не видят большого смысла для себя заводить семью и детей. Но редакция предполагает, что это проблема далеко не только одного Горноправдинска, а общая тенденция на уровне страны.  Ситуация с миграцией также оставляет желать лучшего. Хотя бум экономики Горноправдинска привлекает новых жителей, многие из них — это временные работники из других регионов, которые не имеют намерения осесть на постоянной основе. Кроме того, утечка умов, когда высококвалифицированные специалисты уезжают в поисках лучших карьерных возможностей, продолжает оставаться серьёзной проблемой для местного рынка труда. Говоря о демографии, нельзя не сказать о социальных проблемах. Экономика цветёт, увеличивается качество жизни, а социальное расслоение сохраняется. Например, многим всё ещё трудно получить квалифицированную медицинскую помощь — работники городских поликлиник порой не справляются с потоком пациентов, а за помощью узкоспециализированного специалиста горноправдинцам остаётся обращаться в платную частную клинику, что может быть довольно тяжёлым испытанием для кошелька. Молодые семьи стремятся к лучшим условиям для жизни и воспитания детей, что приводит к оттоку населения в более социально обеспеченные регионы. <iframe width="720" height="405" src="https://rutube.ru/play/embed/e962f0008c276629bc3b63f6a2ef1da4" frameBorder="0" allow="clipboard-write; autoplay" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe> Горноправдинск, пытаясь справиться с демографическими вызовами, нуждается в комплексном подходе к решению проблем. Город нуждается в постоянном обновлении инфраструктуры и социальных инвестициях. Не хватает и поддержки молодых семей — для того, чтобы переосмыслить свои приоритеты, молодым парам нужна уверенность в завтрашнем дне. **А пока город медленно, но верно стареет. Справедливости ради, несколько медленнее, чем раньше.**

Горноправдинск, некогда скромный посёлок с населением в несколько тысяч человек, к 2040 году стал важным экономическим центром Ханты-Мансийского автономного округа. Если бы 20 лет назад местным жителям сказали, что их маленький посёлок станет экономическим чудом — даже самые оптимистичные из них восприняли бы это как шутку. # **Но как всего за пару десятков лет вообще возможна столь удивительная трансформация? ** **Маленькие люди, большая мечта**   Сельское хозяйство стало важной опорой экономики Горноправдинска. Даже как-то смешно вспоминать, что всё начиналось с маленьких частных огородов и большой инициативы местных жителей. Те, кто когда-то возделывал скупую сибирскую землю, устали выращивать разве что картошку и разве что для себя. Жители (преимущественно, кстати, пожилые, те, для кого их огород был чуть ли не главным делом) взялись за свои участки серьёзно — удобряли землю, воспользовались правом заниматься фермерством, а затем смогли и выбить достойную технику для своего дела. Результат себя ждать не заставил: сельскохозяйственная продукция из Горноправдинска завоевала своё место на прилавках магазинов Югры. А уже к 2040 году Горноправдинск стал одним из важнейших центров производства молочных продуктов в регионе — животноводство местные власти сейчас развивают особенно активно. Не забыли и о чистоте производства: Горноправдинск на данный момент занимает одну из лидирующих позиций по внедрению  "зелёных" технологий.  **Привлечение туристов** Не менее значимым стало развитие туристической отрасли. Уникальные природные ландшафты региона привлекли туристов со всей страны. Местные власти активно развивают туристическую инфраструктуру: за последние 4 года на территории города появились 4 гостиницы (одна из них, кстати, и вовсе реализует формат "all-inclusive"!), два туристических маршрута — лыжная тропа, где все желающие смогут налюбоваться зимней красотой Сибири, и речной маршрут вдоль местной реки. "Мы стараемся создать место, куда люди хочется возвращаться", — говорит директор туристической фирмы "ГП".    Горноправдинск стал местом притяжения для самых разных людей — любители спорта теперь могут покататься на лыжах зимой и отправиться на сплав на сапах летом, а для интересующихся культурой молодых людей здесь регулярно проводят творческие фестивали. <iframe width="720" height="405" src="https://rutube.ru/play/embed/2d46d45c4151a53141d625519e265974" frameBorder="0" allow="clipboard-write; autoplay" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe> **Но сколько стоит экономическое чудо?** Но всего этого могло бы и не быть, если бы не усилия по привлечению инвестиций. Власти ввели налоговые льготы, модернизировали транспортное сообщение между городами Югры и впервые за всю историю существования посёлка, кажется, слушали людей и принимали их инициативы — так, через налаживание контактов и вливание финансов в местные предприятия (если обратиться к финансовым отчётам властей, то суммы, выделенные на развитие местных производств и инфраструктуры, впечатляют — они исчисляются миллиардами рублей), получилось преобразить бывший маленьким и серым Горноправдинск в гордость региона.

Давка в маршрутках с вечно уставшими водителями, которые приезжают на остановки не по расписанию, а иногда не приезжают вовсе, была в прошлом неизбежной частью городской жизни. Общественный транспорт остаётся востребованным элементом инфраструктуры: не все могут позволить себе личный транспорт или регулярные поездки на такси. Вам больно видеть ценник в 800 рублей по вечерам в час пик? Редакции тоже.  Сегодня, 17 декабря, городские власти закупили новые транспортные средства: 15 беспилотных электробусов "Стрела" с увеличенной вместительностью. Новенькие "Стрелы" отправятся на маршруты 8, 13 и 42. Помимо повышенной вместительности и внедрения ИИ, новый транспорт также более экологичен. Маршрут в восточную часть города, маршрут №6, оснастят "Стрелами" в следующем году. Подготовкой специализированных колей для них дорожники были заняты последние полтора года, и на востоке работы ещё не завершены до конца. Теперь не нужно ругаться с водителем: обстановку на дороге и в салоне определяет искусственный интеллект. Но редакция напоминает: при нахождении в электробусе будьте взаимовежливы -- уступайте места пожилым людям, инвалидам и беременным женщинам, а при нахождении в автобусе снимайте рюкзаки и объёмные сумки с плеч.

В центре Горноправдинска произошла серьезная коммунальная авария, в результате которой значительная часть города осталась без электричества. По предварительной информации, причиной отключения стало повреждение высоковольтной линии, расположенной на улице Поспелова. Авария произошла в результате сильного ветра и обильных осадков, которые наблюдались в последние дни. В результате падения дерева на линию электропередач произошло .короткое замыкание, что привело к отключению нескольких трансформаторных подстанций. На данный момент специалисты работают над устранением последствий аварии. Восстановительные работы начались сразу после инцидента. В ЮТЭК пообещали, что работы закончат к 4 часам утра. ## Видео происшествия: <iframe width="720" height="405" src="https://rutube.ru/play/embed/adf9e8d0e516af7053c4b5784ed7feaa" frameBorder="0" allow="clipboard-write; autoplay" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe>

Сегодня посёлок Горноправдинск, стал не просто точкой на карте, а настоящим центром молочного вселенной. Ведь именно здесь, в 2040 году, открылся самый крупный молочный комбинат в мире — гигантское предприятие, которое не только удивляет размерами, но и ставит новые стандарты в производстве молочных продуктов. Комбинат, который в народе уже окрестили "Млечным путём", выглядит как космическая станция, под завязку забитая самым современным оборудованием.  Зрелище потрясающее: массивные трубы, сверкающие резервуары и, конечно, в воздухе стойкий запах свежего молока, который теперь станет символом этого региона. Генеральный директор комбината, Зульфия Новобсохова с гордостью демонстрирует всему миру чудо инженерной мысли. На церемонии открытия она, с блеском в глазах и лёгкой улыбкой, рассказала журналистам: <iframe width="720" height="405" src="https://rutube.ru/play/embed/ede8be4ab623e09ab621936fe4a9f7f7" frameBorder="0" allow="clipboard-write; autoplay" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe> — "Мы не просто строили завод, мы строили мечту! Теперь наша продукция сможет достичь каждого уголка планеты, и, надеюсь, в ближайшее время мы поставим молоко даже на Марс. Кто знает, может, с помощью наших новых технологий завтра марсиане будут пить молоко с Горноправдинска!" — шутит она, как всегда, с долей иронии, присущей истинному бизнесмену. Но шутки шутками, а величие нового предприятия впечатляет. Здесь установлены ультрасовременные линии по переработке молока, автоматизированные процессы, и роботы, которые до сих пор поражают своей точностью. Так что в планах — не только массовое производство сыра, йогуртов и творога, но и создание абсолютно новых продуктов с непревзойдённым вкусом и максимальной пользой для здоровья. - "Мы гордимся тем, что создаём будущее, а не просто следуем за ним. Это не просто комбинат, это философия, основанная на идее заботы о природе и человеке", — продолжает Зульфия, когда её спрашивают о возможных экологических последствиях. "Конечно, мы выбрали экологичные материалы, переработку отходов и минимизацию углеродного следа. Даже коровы, которые поставляют нам молоко, проходят строгий контроль по экологическим стандартам. И знаете, они тоже счастливы работать на таком производстве." - "Надеюсь, в будущем, когда люди станут заказывать наше молоко, они смогут выбрать не только его вкус, но и степень 'счастья' коровы. Мы думаем над этим, и это может стать нововведением на рынке!" Не упустим и восхищённых зрителей: среди гостей мероприятия присутствуют известные личности, чиновники и даже любители молочной продукции со всего мира. Многие из них в порыве восторга делают снимки на фоне гигантских установок, поднимаясь на специальные платформы с видом на завод. Кто-то шутит, что теперь Горноправдинск может стать новым "молочным Лас-Вегасом"  Даже критики, известные своим скептицизмом по поводу промышленных гигантов, сдержанно кивают в знак уважения. Слишком уж велико было всё, что они увидели. Подсчёты говорят сами за себя: - Производственная мощность — 100 миллионов литров молока в год. - Тысячи новых рабочих мест. - Планы по выходу на международные рынки и экспорту в космос (по шутке или всерьёз — ещё предстоит выяснить) - Бобровская порода коров бьёт все рекорды по удою в 40 546 кг молока. Горноправдинск уже сегодня становится центром молочной дипломатии и промышленности. Если в ближайшие годы этот комбинат сможет оправдать все возложенные на него надежды, то вполне возможно, что мир начнёт измерять величие не только в мегаваттах энергии, но и в литрах молока.

Горноправдинск, посёлок, заслуженно гордящийся своим экологическим статусом и продвинутыми инициативами, стал центром литературной жизни Югры. В местной библиотеке состоялась яркая презентация книг югорских авторов, событие, ставшее предвестником масштабного проекта по созданию фонда Югорских писателей. В уютном зале библиотеки собрались любители литературы, местные жители и гости посёлка. Центральным событием вечера стала презентация сразу нескольких значимых работ. Среди авторов – как маститые профессионалы, так и талантливые дебютанты.  Главным событием вечера стала презентация книги известного горноправдинского историка, профессора Николая Сергеевича Петрова, "Горноправдинск: хроники устойчивого развития". Книга, написанная с использованием новейших технологий визуализации данных и дополненная интерактивными элементами, рассказывает об истории посёлка, акцентируя внимание на его экологической стратегии и инновационных подходах к развитию. "Мне было важно не только зафиксировать исторические факты, но и показать путь Горноправдинска как образца устойчивого развития, – делится Николай Сергеевич. – Надеюсь, моя книга вдохновит новых поколений на создание ещё более процветающего будущего". Рядом с маститым историком блестяще представили свои работы авторы, работающие в жанре детской литературы. Елизавета Андреевна Кузнецова представила интерактивную книгу "Сказки Югорского леса: ожившая тайга", сочетающую традиционный фольклор с элементами дополненной реальности. Дети могут сканировать страницы и видеть оживающих персонажей сказок на экранах своих планшетов. "Мы стремимся привить детям любовь к своей культуре и природе в интерактивной и занимательной форме, – пояснила Елизавета Андреевна. – Современные технологии позволяют нам сделать это эффективнее и интереснее". <iframe width="720" height="405" src="https://rutube.ru/play/embed/1fd503abf336b1917d3fcdba3fdba5f1" frameBorder="0" allow="clipboard-write; autoplay" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe> Ещё одним ярким участником вечера стал Даниил Владимирович Колосов, автор книги "Югорские мифы в стихах и музыке". Даниил представил не только свою книгу, но и музыкальное сопровождение к ней, используя современные синтезаторы и традиционные югорские инструменты. "Я хотел показать, как традиционная культура может гармонично сочетаться с современным искусством, – поделился Даниил Владимирович. – Музыка помогает лучше понять глубину и красоту югорских мифов". Завершился вечер обсуждением перспектив развития литературы Югры и планов по созданию Фонда Югорских писателей. Участники выразили оптимизм и уверенность в том, что литературное наследие Югры будет и впредь богато и уникально. Презентация в Горноправдинске стала ясным подтверждением этого.

В 2040 году в посёлке Горноправдинск завершилась масштабная реставрация веревочного парка, который стал не только современным развлекательным объектом, но и примером экологической ответственности. В ходе работ были использованы исключительно натуральные материалы, такие как древесина местных пород, а также переработанные пластик и металл. Все конструкции теперь оснащены покрытиями, не вредящими экосистеме.  Важным нововведением стало применение солнечных панелей для питания освещения и системы видеонаблюдения, что позволило значительно снизить углеродный след парка. Кроме того, установлены инновационные системы сбора и очистки дождевой воды, которая используется для полива зелёных насаждений, а также для поддержания гигиеничных условий в туалетах. Для повышения доступности, веревочный парк теперь включает маршруты для людей с ограниченными возможностями: специальные пандусы и адаптированные зоны для отдыха. В парке также появились новые образовательные элементы — интерактивные стенды и экскурсии по экологии, где посетители могут узнать о важности сохранения природы и устойчивого развития. <iframe width="720" height="405" src="https://rutube.ru/play/embed/516619e884a3cef537244d194dd76e65" frameBorder="0" allow="clipboard-write; autoplay" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe> Проект реставрации стал возможен благодаря поддержке местных властей и экологических организаций, а новый парк уже стал местом притяжения для жителей и туристов.

A new breed of entrepreneurs is emerging on social media platforms, especially on LinkedIn—those who want to show (in new terms: coach) other entrepreneurs how to become successful. And even on Nostr I have already discovered the first coaches. Their areas of influence vary from general measures to spiritual-mental attitude change, and even to specializations on a medium or a specific platform. Over the past few weeks, I have looked into several of them and expressed interest in their offerings, always with an open mindset: "Maybe they know something I don't, and I could learn something new." I engaged with generalists, mental attitude changers, and specialists. I went through a few stages that all look the same: 1. They somehow get in touch with you, often subtly lured through indirect means so that they don’t appear to be cold-calling you (which is illegal in many countries). 2. You are invited to a mass event, usually a webinar with general teasers about the offering. 3. Then you are asked to pay to access the valuable information. Here are my thoughts about this business model. They all promise to know some kind of secret formula or have a proven system that you just need to follow to achieve success in 90% of cases (or so). This system has, of course, been tried and tested over the years, they say, and they have made an effort to formalize it—for you. So they can now sell it to you, saving you the trouble of doing the work yourself. The target audience seems to be entrepreneurs in their 20s and 30s, or those who want to become one. While they claim it’s for all age groups, the presentation clearly appeals more to this demographic. It would be difficult to convince someone in their 40s or 50s. No wonder, as all these success coaches I met were under 40 themselves and have no idea how people think when you get older. Now, after reading their social media posts, which are admittedly persuasive in rhetoric, and after being tempted, like I was, to comment on one with "BS, that only works in exceptions," they respond positively, never offended, and in an inviting tone. Or they send you "info material" or some other goodies behind a link where you have to sign up with your email address. Since I use disposable email addresses, I have no problem with that and think, why not? Let’s see what they have to offer. And sometime later, maybe in 2 or 3 weeks, you receive an invitation to a "webinar" at the same address. And that’s where it starts to get unethical. Most of them didn’t indicate in the sign-up for the initial info material that they would also use your email address for other purposes, or that the whole thing is actually set up with that intention. Such information should be placed near the email field according to EU privacy laws. If it’s missing, it’s a violation of GDPR and actually a justiciable issue. But okay, I participated in all the webinars out of curiosity. And they are all structured the same way. First, there’s a one-hour presentation with slides covering general points, followed seamlessly by the introduction of their own product or service. There’s no "advertisement" or "sponsored" label beforehand (red flag number 2). It’s either access to several training videos or an initial consultation session to tailor the coaching to your specific needs. So it all boils down to selling the coach’s own product or service. In the past, this was done directly in the first step. That doesn’t work as well today, so they’ve added 1-2 steps beforehand with bait offers. But at the latest, after or at the end of the webinar, prices are presented. These range from 5,000 to 10,000 Euros. A young or unsuccessful entrepreneur has to invest this amount if they want to receive the formula for financial bliss. Yet, they don’t even know exactly what they would be investing in. They are constantly led to believe that this magical formula works for most people, and in every case during the webinar, a previous successful client is showcased, who is now floating in the clouds of financial happiness thanks to this "secret formula." However, it is also mentioned that this formula must be specifically tailored to your business. Hence the 5-10K euro investment. This means that after at least 2 hurdles of customer attraction, you still don’t know what you will actually receive and specifically, whether it will really work for you. You are essentially buying a pig in a poke. And that is the main problem. It is repeatedly pointed out that the customer also has their obligations, such as doing everything the coach recommends and investing a certain amount of time each week. But nothing is promised with certainty. You only hear the alleged success statistics of X% over and over again. You can’t verify that; you just have to take it on faith. And that’s when you start to gamble internally. "Ah, I’m sure I belong to the 90% (or whatever the success rate is) if I just follow along." You also have to trust that the success example presented in person in the webinar is authentic, meaning that the success of this entrepreneur stems solely from the implementation of the coaching measures and not from other circumstances. I don’t want to accuse anyone of anything, but that’s a bit too much trust for me to invest. I’m more the type who believes "respect and politeness are free, but trust must be earned." I addressed this candidly in the last "client meeting." I pointed out that I had no guarantees, even if I fully participated, that I could expect an increase in my leads/appointments/revenues (whatever they specifically promise). In contrast, their fees are secure and likely paid in advance. I see an imbalance in fairness there. Instead, I proposed a fair commission model. For every lead/appointment/revenue they bring me, I would pay them a certain commission. And if they are indeed as good as they claim, they shouldn’t have a problem with that. I also said it would be more "entrepreneurial" to share both the success and the risk. Because with their model, only one party (namely them) has their ducks in a row while I, as the coached one, am taking a gamble. There are so many other influencing factors beyond my participation. What if my country or my industry is in a recession, for example? Or I could think of many other factors that are out of my control. Well, they vehemently rejected this proposal. No guts. No entrepreneurship on their side with this. I even said, "With your business model, it’s reasonable to suspect that you just want to rip me off and cash in, no matter what happens." That didn’t help either. My father once said something wise. When I was 18 or 19 years old, I wanted to sell building savings insurance, and for that, I was supposed to attend a sales training that costed about 50 euros, which isn’t much. My father immediately said, "Nonsense. You want to make money, not spend it." That stuck with me, and this whole situation reminded me of that. Now, this doesn’t exclude entrepreneurial risk and investments, but it should be more tangible than a pile of promises and hot air. You need to limit the risk and uncertainty as much as possible. A commission model, like the one I proposed, would have been fairer. Let’s grow or fail together, right? But not just one side taking all the risks. I also once worked as a math tutor in an organization with a money-back guarantee. Students who had failed math came to me every day for six weeks in the summer, and I prepared them for their last chance, the retake exam. Our promise was that after these six weeks, you would pass math and move up to the next grade without having to repeat the school year. And if not, you would get your entire course fee back, and both sides would have just wasted time. We only refunded one out of about 30 students, and the one's failure was more due to the immense pressure she received from home. All the others passed the retake exam, and 20% of them even became math whizzes in the following school year, achieving top grades. So, beware of such "business models." Sharing the risk is fairer. And if someone really knows their stuff, they can easily take on a 30-to-1 risk. And if not, and they insist on securing all the money upfront … you know where I’m going with this.

Горноправдинск, известный своим чистым воздухом и выдающимся качеством молочной продукции, в 2040 году стал символом экологической устойчивости и продовольственной безопасности в России. В преддверии Нового года мы решили исследовать, насколько этот живописный посёлок готов к празднованию главного события зимы. Подготовка к торжествам включает в себя не только организационные аспекты, но и атмосферу, которую создают местные жители. Как собирается отмечать Новый год экологически чистый и инновационный Горноправдинск? **Экологическая Программа и Устойчивое Развитие** С начала 2030-х годов Горноправдинск стал флагманом экологических инициатив в регионе. Местные власти и инициативные группы активно внедряли программы по утилизации отходов, экономии ресурсов и восстановлению природных экосистем. В медицинских учреждениях и образовательных учреждениях проводятся занятия по экологии для детей, направленные на формирование любви к природе и заботы о чистоте окружающей среды.  **Реализация Экологических Инициатив** К 2040 году в Горноправдинске действуют специальные площадки для раздельного сбора отходов, а переработка мусора достигла 80%. В связи с праздником планируется установка дополнительных ёмкостей для сбора упаковки от новогодних товаров и подарков. Такие меры помогают не только сократить количество отходов, но и формируют осознанное отношение местных жителей к потреблению. Кроме того, горноправдинцы активно устраивают акции по посадке деревьев. В преддверии Нового года в рамках проекта «Ёлка вместо ёлки» планируется высадка саженцев хвойных деревьев в окрестных лесах. Эта акция не только украсит природу, но и станет ясно обозначенным шагом к более устойчивому образу жизни. **Подготовка Городских Улиц к Празднику** Не менее важной частью подготовки к празднованию является украшение Горноправдинска. Улица за улицей преображаются под натиском новогодних огней, гирлянд и ярких декораций. В этом году власти уделили особое внимание использованию экологически чистых материалов. Везде, где это возможно, используются светящиеся элементы на солнечных батареях.  **Разработка Новогодней Тематики** Каждая улица имеет своё уникальное оформление. В центре посёлка планируется установка большой ёлки, украшенной только перерабатываемыми игрушками и гирляндами. В рамках новогодней кампании будут проведены конкурсы на лучшее оформление жилых домов. Местные жители уже активно начали обсуждать идеи и искать средства на украшение своих участков, что добавляет атмосферы совместного празднования. Помимо визуального оформления, каждую неделю в преддверии праздника проводятся мастер-классы по изготовлению экологически чистых новогодних игрушек. Это становится популярным среди детей и усиливает общественное единство в целом. **Культурные Мероприятия и Социальные Акции** Воспитание чувства сообщества и активное вовлечение жителей в культурные мероприятия – важная часть новогодней подготовки Горноправдинска. В этом году запланирован ряд акций, направленных на объединение всех слоёв населения.  **Новогодние Ярмарки и Концерты** Появление ярмарок и концертов отмечает новый этап в социальном взаимодействии. Местные фермеры выставят свою продукцию на новогодние ярмарки, где каждый сможет попробовать и приобрести экологически чистые продукты. Параллельно с ярмаркой будут организованы музыкальные выступления местных гармонистов и ансамблей. Это станет отличной возможностью для отдыха и веселья для жителей и гостей посёлка. В этом году особое внимание уделяется инклюзивности мероприятий. На праздники будут приглашены жители с ограниченными возможностями, для которых организуют специальные зоны и программы. **Образовательные Программы** Культурные мероприятия будут охватывать не только развлекательный аспект, но и образовательный. Специальные мастер-классы по экологии и устойчивому развитию будут проведены для желающих. Это даёт возможность не только узнать о новогодних традициях, но и понять, как сохранить природу в повседневной жизни.  **Поддержка Местного Производителя** Как лидер молочной продукции в регионе, Горноправдинск придаёт особое значение поддержанию местного производства. В этом году новогодние праздники также будут направлены на обеспечение спроса на местные товары и поддержку фермеров. **Продуктовые Лавки с Местными Продуктами** На ярмарках и специализированных магазинах можно будет приобрести свежемолочную продукцию, сезонные овощи и фрукты, а также продукты, произведенные с минимальным воздействием на окружающую среду. Это позволит жителям избежать покупки импортных товаров, способствуя развитию местной экономики и снижению углеродного следа. Кроме того, организаторы праздника планируют запустить проект «Семейные коробки с экологическими продуктами», которые будут включать в себя новогодние наборы местных продуктов, что станет отличным подарком для близких. <iframe width="720" height="405" src="https://rutube.ru/play/embed/a6abbad1a0205036c5e03c6ddb2f7982" frameBorder="0" allow="clipboard-write; autoplay" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe> **Готовность К Новогодним Праздникам** В преддверии Нового года, оценив масштабы подготовки, можно с уверенностью сказать, что Горноправдинск готов справиться с любыми вызовами. Готовность к празднику выражается не только в организационных аспектах, но и в отношении местных жителей. **Обсуждение Потребностей Сообщества** Местная администрация активно принимает во внимание мнение жителей. Были проведены опросы о планируемых мероприятиях и необходимом финансировании. Таким образом, все желания и предпочтения людей учтены, что добавляет комфорта в предстоящие праздники. **Профессиональная Подготовка** Члены местной администрации, вместе с волонтёрами, уже начали разрабатывать сценарии праздничных мероприятий и заниматься логистикой. Это позволит предотвратить затруднения на праздниках и обеспечить бесперебойный поток организации событий. **Горноправдинск – Место, Где Природа Встречает Праздник** Горноправдинск, как один из самых экологически чистых посёлков региона, готов к встрече Нового года 2040 года с радостью и надеждой. Благодаря усилиям местных жителей, администрации и компаний, жизнь в посёлке становится более гармоничной и устойчивой. Принципы экологии позволяют сохранять природу и при этом радоваться празднику. Новый год в Горноправдинске станет не только украшением зимы, но и символом единства сообщества, заботы о природе и стремления к устойчивому развитию. В этом году каждая ёлка, каждый огонёк и каждая усмешка будут напоминать о том, что праздники – это не только потрать деньги на подарки, но и проявление любви к окружающему миру. Благодаря уникальной культуре и традициям, праздник пройдёт замечательно, и жители сможет получить радость и тепло от общения друг с другом, что является главным в преддверии Нового года

O recente vídeo do "Cor do Dinheiro", do Camilo Lourenço, na rubrica "Pé de Meia" é um exemplo claro de como a desinformação e uma compreensão superficial continuam a prejudicar as discussões públicas sobre Bitcoin. Os convidados, Francisco Louro e Antonio Mello Campello, regurgitaram argumentos ultrapassados e falaciosos com uma confiança que faria Dunning e Kruger sentirem orgulho. Desde descartar Bitcoin como mera especulação até confundi-lo com moedas _meme_ e actividades criminosas, as suas alegações destacam não apenas a ignorância, mas também a sua recusa em compreender objectivamente esta tecnologia revolucionária. Este artigo visa desmontar algumas das suas afirmações, expondo as suas perspectivas superficiais enquanto apresenta Bitcoin como a inovação transformadora que realmente é. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/qgN3ikDmBwk?si=g4GV2TFtf99-xD-b" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> --- Nem vou comentar a historia da blockchain, ja escrevi sobre isso num outro artigo que podem encontrar [aqui](https://njump.me/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzprmf4jvmjmmuft2chxxv8rl96dwwqtdwltnazcyu097w8d8e9a0aqy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xzmny9uqqsefsx5enscenvvjkjnlm). **Bitcoin: É Apenas Especulação?** Antonio Mello Campello começa com o argumento ultrapassado de que Bitcoin é puramente especulativo, desprovido de "valor real". Este argumento é risível, considerando a adopção de Bitcoin por nações como El Salvador e empresas como a MicroStrategy. Se Bitcoin fosse apenas especulativo, por que entidades bilionárias e governos o integrariam nas suas estratégias financeiras? A sua ignorância torna-se ainda mais evidente na incapacidade de compreender que todas as tecnologias revolucionárias enfrentam cepticismo inicial. A internet já foi vista como uma curiosidade de nicho que desapareceria como o fax, e aqui estamos, usando-a para espalhar opiniões mal informadas sobre Bitcoin. A incapacidade do convidado, e devo dizer do apresentador também, de reconhecer este paralelo revela a sua falta de perspectiva histórica e tecnológica. --- **O Valor de Bitcoin: O Mito do Valor Intrínsecos** “Bitcoin não tem valor intrínseco porque não gera dividendos ou retornos,” afirmam. Por esta lógica, o ouro, que também não gera dividendos, deve ser igualmente sem valor. A verdade é que o valor de Bitcoin reside nas suas propriedades: escassez, descentralização e segurança. Com um limite de fornecimento de 21 milhões e um registo inviolável, Bitcoin oferece um nível de transparência e fiabilidade incomparável a qualquer moeda fiduciária. A afirmação também ignora o uso de Bitcoin como protecção contra a inflação e instabilidade económica. Ao contrário do euro, que o Banco Central Europeu inflacionou até à exaustão, Bitcoin oferece previsibilidade e independência face a políticas monetárias irresponsáveis. A compreensão superficial dos apresentadores demonstra a sua incapacidade de valorizar como as propriedades únicas de Bitcoin desafiam o _status quo_ dominado pelas moedas fiduciárias. --- **Confundir Bitcoin com Memecoins** Equiparar o Bitcoin ao Dogecoin não é apenas ignorância; é absolutamente ridículo. Enquanto a Dogecoin prospera em _memes_ e tweets de Musk, Bitcoin é um sistema monetário robusto construído com mais de uma década de descentralização, segurança e adopção global. Esta equivalência falsa mina qualquer credibilidade que os participantes do vídeo poderiam esperar manter. Dogecoin carece da escassez, segurança e descentralização que tornam Bitcoin revolucionário. Comparar os dois é como comparar um carro de luxo a um carrinho de pedais infantil. Um é projectado para utilidade no mundo real; o outro é uma brincadeira passageira. --- **Volatilidade: Uma Característica, Não Um Problema** Outra crítica ultrapassada: a volatilidade de Bitcoin. Sim, o preço da bitcoin oscila, mas o mesmo aconteceu com as acções e mesmo o ouro nos seus primeiros dias. A volatilidade é uma fase natural de uma classe de activos emergente. Apesar disso, a bitcoin tem proporcionado retornos de longo prazo incomparáveis, recompensando aqueles que compreendem o seu potencial e permanecem pacientes. A ironia é gritante: enquanto desconsideram Bitcoin pela sua volatilidade, falham em mencionar a lenta erosão de valor do euro ou os _crashes_ periódicos dos mercados de acções. A volatilidade de Bitcoin é o preço da inovação, e, à medida que a adopção cresce, a estabilidade seguir-lhe-á. A incapacidade dos participantes de reconhecer esta dinâmica demonstra o seu pensamento de curto prazo e a falta de visão do panorama maior. --- **A Narrativa do Crime: Um Argumento Preguiçoso** Afirmar que Bitcoin é principalmente usado para actividades criminosas, ou teóricos da conspiração, é talvez o argumento mais preguiçoso de todos. Dados mostram consistentemente que transacções ilícitas representam menos de 1% do uso total de bitcoin. Enquanto isso, o dinheiro em espécie, cash, continua a ser a ferramenta preferida dos criminosos em todo o mundo. Devemos banir euros e dólares também? Ironicamente, a transparência de Bitcoin torna-se uma péssima escolha para criminosos. Ferramentas de análise de blockchain tornaram-se inestimáveis para as autoridades, permitindo-lhes rastrear e capturar infractores. A incapacidade dos participantes de reconhecer este facto reflecte ignorância deliberada ou preguiça intelectual — ou talvez ambos. --- **Aplicações Práticas: Reduzindo a Desigualdade Financeira** “Bitcoin não tem casos de uso no mundo real,” dizem eles, ignorando os milhões que dependem dele para remessas, inclusão financeira e protecção contra hiperinflação. Iniciativas como a Praia Bitcoin no Brasil e o Bitcoin Ekasi na África do Sul, entre muitos outros, mostram como Bitcoin capacita comunidades ignoradas pelos sistemas financeiros tradicionais. Ao permitir transacções baratas, rápidas e sem fronteiras, Bitcoin resolve problemas reais para pessoas reais. Descartar esses casos de uso como triviais não é apenas ignorância, mas também um exemplo gritante de privilégio financeiro. A incapacidade dos comentadores de reconhecer isso destaca o quão desconectados estão dos desafios enfrentados por aqueles fora de suas bolhas confortáveis. --- **Bitcoin vs. Activos Tradicionais: Uma Falsa Dicotomia** Os convidados argumentam que activos tradicionais, como acções e imobiliário, são investimentos superiores. Isto perde totalmente o ponto. Bitcoin não é (apenas?) um investimento; é um novo paradigma monetário. A sua portabilidade, divisibilidade e resistência à censura fazem dele um activo único, complementar aos investimentos tradicionais. Imobiliário, ou terreno, podem ser confiscados, ou sujeitos a depreciação por factores ambientais ou sociais, e acções estão sujeitas a má gestão corporativa. Bitcoin, em contrapartida, é inalienável e opera independentemente de erros humanos. A incapacidade dos participantes de compreender esta diferença fundamental fala muito sobre a sua compreensão limitada do potencial transformador de Bitcoin. --- **O Limite de Fornecimento: Um "_Gimmick_" que Redefine o Dinheiro** Descrever o limite de fornecimento de 21 milhões de bitcoin como um "truque" é tanto desinformado quanto risível. A escassez sempre impulsionou o valor, como visto com o ouro, ou [autocolantes do CR7](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10484975/First-Panini-card-young-Cristiano-Ronaldo-Sporting-Lisbon-sells-60-000.html). O fornecimento fixo de Bitcoin garante que ele não pode ser desvalorizado por políticas monetárias arbitrárias — uma característica, não uma falha. Enquanto bancos centrais inundam economias com moeda fiduciária, erodindo o poder de compra das pessoas, a previsibilidade de Bitcoin oferece um porto seguro. A rejeição desta característica crítica pelos participantes revela uma falta de literacia económica e uma recusa em compreender os princípios fundamentais de Bitcoin. --- **Independência dos Bancos Centrais: A Proposta de Bitcoin** A noção de que a falta de apoio dos bancos centrais enfraquece Bitcoin é ridícula. Bancos centrais, com o seu histórico de políticas inflacionárias e crises financeiras, estão longe de serem exemplos de confiabilidade. A independência de Bitcoin protege-o de manipulações e garante a sua integridade. Essa é, alias, a grande proposta de valor de Bitcoin, inscrita no bloco genesis! O argumento dos participantes reflecte um apego profundo a sistemas tradicionais que repetidamente falharam mas, do qual provavelmente beneficiam. A transparência, previsibilidade e descentralização de Bitcoin fazem deste activo uma alternativa superior, expondo as suas críticas como infundadas. --- **Conclusão: Ignorância Não é Argumento** O programa falha redondamente a premissa inicial com que o Camilo Lourenço abre o video. Reduzir a ignorância sobre Bitcoin. Os participantes do vídeo demonstraram uma falta chocante de compreensão sobre o assunto, repetindo argumentos ultrapassados e comparações falaciosas sem se darem ao trabalho de debater criticamente com o tema. O seu descarte de Bitcoin como especulativo, volátil e criminoso ignora evidências esmagadoras da sua utilidade, resiliência e potencial transformador. Bitcoin representa uma mudança de paradigma em como pensamos sobre dinheiro, valor e inclusão financeira. É hora de os críticos irem além de argumentos superficiais e reaccionários e inteirarem-se com Bitcoin pelos seus méritos. Até lá, as suas críticas não passam de ecos de ignorância perante a inovação e alvo de chacota na comunidade. Admiro bastante o Camilo Lourenço e o seu trabalho mas, desta vez, não esteve bem. Não só não houve contraditório como os convidados não entregaram aquilo que foi prometido no inicio do video.

В этом году Горноправдинск, преобразившийся за последние десятилетия из скромного посёлка в крупный научно-технологический центр, стал площадкой для масштабной научной конференции по развитию высоких технологий. Событие, привлекшее учёных со всего региона, проходило в недавно отреставрированном “Сибирском Куполе”.  Конференция, проходившая в течение трёх дней, сосредоточилась на четырёх основных направлениях: интегрированные системы энергообеспечения, устойчивое сельское хозяйство будущего, развитие искусственного интеллекта в городской среде и новые технологии в экологии. Участники активно обсуждали перспективы использования возобновляемых источников энергии, разработку устойчивых агротехнологий, адаптацию ИИ для управления городским транспортом и обеспечения безопасности, а также новейшие методы биотехнологий для очистки окружающей среды. <iframe width="720" height="405" src="https://rutube.ru/play/embed/fbb4b54bc9f913d4da04358c84dda6dc" frameBorder="0" allow="clipboard-write; autoplay" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe> Одним из самых обсуждаемых докладов стал выступление доктора физико-математических наук Елены Петровой, руководителя проекта “Сибирская энергетическая система”. Она представила новую концепцию энергообеспечения города, основанную на использовании геотермальной энергии и солнечных батарей высокой эффективности.  Также в конференции приняли участие ведущие учёные из разных университетов мира. Особое внимание привлекло выступление профессора Анатолия Евстигнеева, исследователя в области искусственного интеллекта. Он разработал новые алгоритмы обработки данных, способные оптимизировать управление городской инфраструктурой. <iframe width="720" height="405" src="https://rutube.ru/play/embed/396e998524cee93f20eb6c030b8d8de3" frameBorder="0" allow="clipboard-write; autoplay" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe> Кроме докладов, в рамках конференции проходили практические сессии, демонстрационные залы новых технологий, а также круглые столы, посвящённые взаимодействию научного сообщества и бизнеса.

В 2040 году посёлок Горноправдинск пережил настоящий экологический апокалипсис. На этот раз причина катастрофы была не в погодных условиях, а в самой сути человеческой цивилизации — в канализации. Местные власти были вынуждены объявить чрезвычайное положение после того, как порыв в центральной канализационной системе стал причиной затопления улиц, домов и, судя по всему, репутации городского водоканала.  По словам экспертов, прорыв произошёл в самый неожиданный момент — во время празднования «Дня чистоты», мероприятия, которое на протяжении десятилетий служило флагманом экологических инициатив посёлка. По случаю праздника были даже установлены новые трубопроводы, что, как оказалось, не только не решило проблему, но и создало дополнительные угрозы. <iframe width="720" height="405" src="https://rutube.ru/play/embed/236b7d4e7f700019f59b243b764995f0" frameBorder="0" allow="clipboard-write; autoplay" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe> Комментарий местного жителя: «Я думал, это всё шутки! Наш посёлок всегда гордился своей старинной системой водоснабжения, а теперь у нас просто… старинная система затопления. Вроде и воняет, и ничего не сделаешь — канализация теперь не просто инфраструктура, а часть интерьера». Ситуация осложнялась тем, что этот прорыв стал лишь частью более широкого тренда. За последние несколько лет, из-за стремительного увеличения населения и устаревших инженерных систем, подобные происшествия стали регулярными. Пострадали как жители, так и бизнесы. Особенно не повезло владельцам кафе и магазинов в центре города, которые вскоре начали предлагать новые виды услуг, такие как «канализационные экскурсии» и «фитнес в бурлящих водах», рассчитывая на поток туристов. Пока жители Горноправдинска спасают свои дома и ищут способы пережить новый тренд, один остаётся неоспоримым — канализация больше не просто забота коммунальных служб. Она стала тем, чем мы с вами живём и, увы, часто и за что платим.

A alimentação desempenha um papel crucial na prevenção de diversas doenças, incluindo o câncer. Estudos científicos demonstram que uma dieta equilibrada e rica em alimentos naturais pode reduzir significativamente o risco de desenvolvimento de tumores e auxiliar na recuperação de pacientes que enfrentam essa doença. #### Como a Alimentação Atua na Prevenção do Câncer 1. **Antioxidantes**: Alimentos ricos em antioxidantes, como frutas vermelhas (morango, mirtilo, amora) e vegetais verde-escuros (brócolis, espinafre, couve), ajudam a neutralizar os radicais livres, que são moléculas instáveis associadas ao desenvolvimento do câncer. 2. **Fibras**: A ingestão adequada de fibras, presentes em cereais integrais, leguminosas, frutas e verduras, promove a saúde do trato gastrointestinal e reduz o risco de câncer de cólon e reto. 3. **Fitonutrientes**: Compostos encontrados em alimentos de origem vegetal, como carotenoides, flavonoides e sulforafano, possuem propriedades anticancerígenas. Exemplos incluem cenoura, tomate e alho. 4. **Inflamação Reduzida**: Dietas anti-inflamatórias, com alimentos como azeite de oliva extra virgem, peixes ricos em ômega-3 (salmão, sardinha) e castanhas, ajudam a diminuir processos inflamatórios crônicos que podem levar ao surgimento do câncer. #### Alimentos que Podem Auxiliar no Combate ao Câncer 1. **Cúrcuma**: Contém curcumina, um potente anti-inflamatório e antioxidante, capaz de inibir o crescimento de células cancerígenas em estudos laboratoriais. 2. **Chá Verde**: Rico em catequinas, compostos antioxidantes que podem retardar ou impedir o crescimento de tumores. 3. **Frutas Cítricas**: Laranja, limão e toranja são fontes de vitamina C e outros antioxidantes que fortalecem o sistema imunológico. 4. **Vegetais Crucíferos**: Brócolis, couve-flor, couve de Bruxelas e repolho possuem sulforafano, que pode ajudar a eliminar substâncias cancerígenas do organismo. #### Hábitos Alimentares para Prevenção 1. **Evitar Alimentos Processados**: Embutidos, enlatados e produtos ricos em conservantes e aditivos químicos estão associados ao aumento do risco de vários tipos de câncer. 2. **Moderação no Consumo de Carnes Vermelhas**: O excesso pode aumentar o risco de câncer colorretal. Prefira fontes de proteínas magras como peixes e aves. 3. **Hidratação Adequada**: Beber água suficiente ajuda a eliminar toxinas e manter o organismo equilibrado. 4. **Priorizar Orgânicos**: Sempre que possível, opte por alimentos orgânicos para evitar a exposição a pesticidas, que podem ter efeitos cancerígenos. #### Alimentação no Tratamento do Câncer** Embora não exista uma "cura alimentar" para o câncer, a nutrição adequada pode ser uma aliada no tratamento, melhorando a resposta imunológica e reduzindo os efeitos colaterais das terapias. Consultar um nutricionista especializado é essencial para adaptar a dieta às necessidades individuais do paciente. Investir em uma alimentação rica, variada e balanceada é uma estratégia poderosa para prevenir o câncer e melhorar a qualidade de vida. Pequenas mudanças nos hábitos alimentares podem ter um impacto significativo na saúde a longo prazo, promovendo bem-estar e longevidade.

## Виртуальная и дополненная реальность  В 1968 году Айвен Сазерленд представил миру то, что принято считать первым налобным дисплеем дополненной реальности, известным как "Дамоклов меч". Это революционное изобретение заложило основу для устройств виртуальной реальности, которыми мы пользуемся сегодня. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eVUgfUvP4uk?si=1_kqwoNUCCviFH7M" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> Название "Дамоклов меч" было выбрано с юмором из-за устрашающего вида устройства и шаткости его установки. Оно символизирует как потенциал, так и риски, связанные с развивающимися технологиями, отражая предвидение Сазерленда о том, как такие устройства могут повлиять на человеческий опыт. На протяжении десятилетий технический прогресс ускорял развитие VR. В 1980-х и 1990-х годах такие компании, как Sega и Nintendo, разработали игровые системы виртуальной реальности, хотя, как правило, с ограниченным успехом. И только в 2010-х годах такие компании, как Oculus и HTC Vive, представили высококачественные VR-гарнитуры, использующие мощную графику и технологию отслеживания движений. ### Современные гарнитуры VR Основным игроком на рынке виртуальной реальности остаётся Meta c продуктами линейки Oculus Quest. К началу 2023 года было продано более 20 миллионов таких гарнитур. В октябре 2023 года вышла новая, третья версия. С момента запуска 10 октября 2023 года Oculus Quest 3 добился заметных успехов в продажах: по оценкам, за первые несколько месяцев было продано не менее 1 миллиона устройств. Эта цифра основана на показателях вовлеченности пользователей в игру смешанной реальности под названием "Первые встречи", в которой было зарегистрировано более миллиона завершений, что свидетельствует о широком распространении гарнитуры. Quest 3 выпускается по цене 499 долларов, что делает ее более дорогой в сравнении с прошлой версией и, вероятно, способствует более медленным темпам продаж. Несмотря на это, первые показатели продаж Quest 3 впечатляют, учитывая разницу в цене и состояние рынка. В начале 2024 года начались продажи Apple Vision Pro, передовой гарнитуры смешанной реальности, сочетающей в себе возможности дополненной реальности (AR) и виртуальной реальности (VR). <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IY4x85zqoJM?si=c1HUjF8mYSld2GBR" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> Он оснащен двумя micro-OLED-дисплеями с общим количеством пикселей более 23 миллионов, что обеспечивает разрешение более 4K для каждого глаза. Такая высокая плотность пикселей направлена на создание потрясающих визуальных впечатлений.  Гарнитура оснащена персонализированной системой Spatial Audio с двумя динамиками, расположенными возле ушей, что позволяет пользователям воспринимать звук как исходящий из окружающей среды. Система адаптирует звук в зависимости от геометрии головы пользователя, обеспечивая эффект погружения. Vision Pro позиционируется как устройство премиум-класса по цене около 3499 долларов, что значительно выше, чем стартовая цена Oculus Quest 3, составляющая 499 долларов. Такая ценовая стратегия нацелена на другой сегмент потребителей, ориентируясь на профессионалов и энтузиастов, а не на обычных пользователей. ### Метаверс В 2021 году слово "метавселенная" вошло в обиход, вызвав оживленную глобальную дискуссию о том, что она собой представляет, существует ли она уже сейчас и кому она будет принадлежать. Но в 2022 году у нас все еще нет общепринятого определения того, что это такое. Это было сатирически описано на технологическом сайте The Verge: > "Возможно, вы читали, что метавселенная заменит интернет. Может быть, мы все должны жить там. Может быть, Facebook (или Epic, или Roblox, или десятки более мелких компаний) пытается захватить его. И, может быть, это как-то связано с NFT?" В январе 2020 года автор и инвестор Мэтью Болл опубликовал наиболее часто встречающееся описание метавселенной: > "обширная сеть постоянных 3D-миров и симуляций, отображаемых в реальном времени, которые [...] могут синхронно переживаться фактически неограниченным числом пользователей, каждый из которых обладает индивидуальным чувством присутствия". Согласно его определению, метавселенная - это продукт или услуга, обладающая семью основными атрибутами, включая постоянство, синхронность и совместимость. Технологический стратег Бен Томпсон утверждает, однако, что это описание на самом деле недалеко от того, чем уже является интернет, только "с 3D-слоем поверх него" ([источник](https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/02/future-of-the-metaverse-vr-ar-and-brain-computer/)). ### Будущее метаверса Pew Research [опросил](https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2022/06/30/the-metaverse-in-2040/) технологических экспертов о Метаверсе к 2040 году. 54% экспертов заявили, что, по их мнению, к 2040 году метавселенная БУДЕТ гораздо более совершенным и по-настоящему полноценным, хорошо функционирующим аспектом повседневной жизни для полумиллиарда или более людей во всем мире. 46% заявили, что, по их мнению, к 2040 году метавселенная НЕ БУДЕТ гораздо более совершенным и по-настоящему полноценным, хорошо функционирующим аспектом повседневной жизни для полумиллиарда или более людей во всем мире.    ## Искусственный интеллект и тотальность гиперперсонализации Задача сейчас [заключается](https://www.forbes.com/councils/forbestechcouncil/2023/12/27/navigating-the-future-the-dynamics-of-hyper-personalization-and-ai-in-customer-experience/) в том, чтобы выйти за рамки персонализации и добиться гиперперсонализации, чтобы выделиться в шуме и обеспечить опыт, который действительно резонирует. Крайне важно признать переход от рассмотрения персонализации как уникального аргумента в пользу ее принятия в качестве фундаментальной деловой необходимости. Рассмотрение клиентского опыта как бизнес-модели, а не только стратегии, является ключевым фактором успеха в этой новой среде. Медиаландшафт перейдет в "алгоритмическую эру", которая будет характеризоваться полностью адресной и магазинной медиасредой. Эта трансформация позволит брендам более эффективно отслеживать поведение потребителей и соответствующим образом адаптировать свои рекламные стратегии. В результате потребители получат более целенаправленную рекламу, соответствующую их интересам и предпочтениям. Персонализация на основе ИИ повышает доходы от Paywall. Так, Business Insider использовал искусственный интеллект для оптимизации своей платной подписки. Редакция создала "умный paywall", которsq решает, какие статьи показывать за плату, а какие бесплатно, исходя из интересов каждого пользователя. Это помогло им увеличить количество платных подписок на 75%. Система анализирует, какие статьи читатель уже прочитал, с какой платформы он зашел на сайт и какие темы его интересуют. И это только один из примеров. Все маркетологи говорят, что гиперсонализация через ИИ &mdash; совершенно неизбежный шаг. Что еще туже затягивает вокруг пользователей пузырь фильтров (filter bubble).  ## Будущее социальных медиа  **Децентрализация и web 3.0** Блокчейн, федиверс, Nostr и другие не очень очевидные на сегодня тренды <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TXsr8zRsObw?si=_4nc8AvLeV_jMMaH" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> Социальные медиа всё менее социальные, даже без учета сгенерированного уже в большом количестве через AI контента    ## Местные и гиперлокальные медиа Местная журналистика может эволюционировать в сторону моделей, ориентированных на сообщество, когда рассказ о событиях ведется с помощью мероприятий или интерактивных платформ, а не традиционных методов освещения событий. Такой подход может способствовать росту вовлеченности и доверия в сообществах, решая проблему упадка местных новостных изданий. Вместо газет люди будут получать доступ к новостям через управляемые искусственным интеллектом чат-боты, курируемые электронные журналы или собрания сообществ, посвященные актуальным темам. Акцент будет сделан на доступности и вовлеченности пользователей, а не на следовании устаревшим форматам. ## Унификация платформ и перенос технологий в облако <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/d0MYIrXtod4?si=EsIiSrIQ3vlrqYTh" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>  **Компания Meta с ее брендами Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram признана в РФ экстремистской*

Когда в экологически чистом городе будущего, Горноправдинске, стартовал первый международный конкурс по вязанию на скорость, никто не ожидал, что это станет не только самым обсуждаемым событием, но и началом большой драмы. Все началось с *Бабкограммы* — уникальной платформы для бабушек-блогеров. Именно там родилась звезда нового времени: 68-летняя Любовь Петровна, известная в соцсетях как *LovingLoops*.  ### *LovingLoops* и искусство продать спицу Любовь Петровна покорила подписчиков своим особым стилем вязания и живым юмором. Она рассказывала о том, как сплести уют из остатков пряжи, и вдохновляла миллионы не только вязать, но и жить в гармонии с природой. Ее видеоролики в духе: *«Как связать шарф для кота за 5 минут»* или *«Джутовые салфетки для сильных и независимых»* буквально взрывали интернет. Вдохновленная успехом, бабушка запустила платный курс: *«Свяжи мечту за месяц»*. Курс обещал научить вязать эко-шедевры, строить бизнес на шарфах и, цитируем, *«делать спицы инструментом личностного роста»*. Продажи пошли не только по Горноправдинску, но и по всему миру — от Токио до Буэнос-Айреса.  ### Когда пряжа — обман Однако эйфория длилась недолго. Оказалось, что курс содержал максимум видео с банальным: *«Давайте теперь провяжем три петли. Молодцы!»* и минимум практических советов. Вскоре в интернете стали появляться гневные комментарии учеников: — *«Заплатила 5000 рублей, чтобы меня учили провязывать лицевые петли? Это я еще в школе умела!»* — *«Обещала показать, как связать носки, а вместо этого три часа рассказывала, какой чай пить за вязанием!»*  Пока подписчики варили носки вместо носков, налоговая Горноправдинска обратила внимание на стремительное финансовое развитие блогера. Выяснилось, что, несмотря на миллионы заработка, Любовь Петровна не платила налоги, мотивируя это своей «эко-философией». Аргумент *«Я не могу загрязнять природу лишними бумажками»* на проверяющих не подействовал. ### Соревнования на спицах и на допросе Когда полицейские пришли к ней на дом, бабушка как раз участвовала в соревновании по вязанию на скорость. Горноправдинские мастерицы боролись за звание самой быстрой вязальщицы, и Любовь Петровна уверенно лидировала, связав плед для детского сада за 15 минут. После задержания судья отметил: — *«Она действительно феноменальна. Жалко, что связала и тут...»* ### Вязание: мода, которая переживет инфоцыган Несмотря на скандал, увлечение вязанием в Горноправдинске и за его пределами только растет. Молодежь активно изучает основы макраме, а местные старушки открывают бесплатные кружки. Спицы стали символом устойчивого потребления и медитации в бешеном ритме мира.  Сейчас Любовь Петровна ожидает суда, а ее фанаты разделились на два лагеря: одни требуют вернуть деньги за курс, другие называют ее *«жертвой системы»*. А тем временем в магазинах закончилась пряжа, а конкурсы по вязанию на скорость становятся новой олимпийской дисциплиной. Ирония времени в том, что Любовь Петровна действительно *связала* людей по всему миру — кто бы мог подумать, что вокруг пары петель можно закрутить такую драму?

I've been following Ryan Holiday's work for a long time, am subscribed to his reading email list and have read most of his books. Thanks to him I've encountered Stoicism and have been trying to incorporate ancient stoic principles into my life. In short, I'm a fan. His recent email newsletter struck a cord as well and I just have to share it. I believe he's so right about it and it concerns everyone of us. Give it a read :-) Everything that follows is Ryan Holiday's work, not mine! --- I manage my finances pretty well. I don’t gamble, I don’t spend recklessly, and I don’t indulge in luxuries I can’t afford.  But I do have an expensive habit. And you probably have it, too.  Anxiety. It’s cost me so much.  A lot of misery, a lot of frustration, countless hours of sleep. It's caused me to miss out on a lot of things that are important to me. It’s not flashy, it’s not thrilling, and it doesn’t even provide the fleeting pleasures that other vices might. And yet, anxiety is a vice. A habit. A relentless one that eats away at your time, your relationships, and your moments of joy. How many family dinners have I ruined by letting my mind wander to what could go wrong? How many minutes of vacations have I missed out on because I was preoccupied, lost in spirals about things that hadn’t happened? How many opportunities have I passed up because I was too caught up in my own fears? How much sleep did I waste, lying awake at night, worrying about what might or might not happen? It doesn’t just steal moments. It adds costs. You leave hours earlier for the airport than you need to, only to sit at the gate. You ruminate on the past or the future at the expense of the project you could be *working* on. You spend weeks dreading news that you know you could have actually been preparing for, instead of just thinking about. What does anxiety really give us in return? Nothing but exhaustion and the tiniest sliver of relief when the thing you feared doesn’t happen. And even that relief is fleeting because another worry is always waiting to take its place. Seneca tells us we suffer more in imagination than in reality. Anxiety turns the hypothetical into the actual. It drags us into a future that doesn’t yet exist and forces us to live out every worst-case scenario in vivid detail. The cost isn’t just mental. It’s physical. It’s emotional. It’s relational. Take a moment to think about what anxiety has stolen from you. The car ride that could have been fun, but you spent stressed because you thought you’d be late. The arguments it got you into, the relationships it strained. The way it hijacks your thoughts, like a runaway train, speeding further and further away from the present moment. And for what? How often does the thing you were worried about actually happen? Sure, occasionally there are issues that come up. Occasionally, you miss the connection or the package arrives late. But far more often, the imagined disaster dissolves into nothing. Meanwhile, the moments anxiety robbed you of are gone forever. The Stoics understood this all too well. Anxiety feeds on itself. It’s like the ouroboros—a snake devouring its own tail. Worry leads to more worry, until the cycle becomes self-sustaining. Marcus Aurelius, in [*Meditations*](https://click.convertkit-mail4.com/75u3g6plgwa8h6vke48s9uw3mdo66sn/3ohphkh7ko880nar/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhlcGFpbnRlZHBvcmNoLmNvbS9wcm9kdWN0cy9tZWRpdGF0aW9ucy1tYXJjdXMtYXVyZWxpdXMtZ3JlZ29yeS1oYXlzLXRyYW5zbGF0aW9uLXByZW1pdW0tbGVhdGhlci1lZGl0aW9uP19wb3M9NCZfc2lkPWZhOGU2ZjAzYSZfc3M9cg==), put it succinctly: “Today I escaped from anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions—not outside.” Work. Your kids. Politics. Flying. These things aren’t the source of your anxiety. *You* are. They’re just places. Just people. Just things happening in the world. We’re the ones getting upset about them. Certainly, the airport isn’t thinking about us!  The good news? If we’re the problem then we can also be the solution.  ​[I carry a small reminder with me](https://click.convertkit-mail4.com/75u3g6plgwa8h6vke48s9uw3mdo66sn/9qhzhnhpeq8803c9/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yZS5kYWlseXN0b2ljLmNvbS9wcm9kdWN0cy9hbnhpZXR5LW1lZGFsbGlvbg==)—a medallion engraved with Epictetus’ phrase, ta eph’hemin, ta ouk eph’hemin (“What is up to us, what is not up to us”). On the back is a quote from Seneca: “He who suffers before it is necessary suffers more than is necessary.” These phrases are anchors. They remind me that anxiety doesn’t change the outcome—it only punishes me before anything has even happened. But even with reminders, breaking free from anxiety is not easy. It traps you in a tunnel where emotions blur your thinking, and every exit seems further away than it really is. You start to feel like a prisoner of your own mind, held hostage by thoughts you can’t control. Yet, there are tools to escape. The Stoics offered timeless strategies: stay in the present moment, detach from the illusion of control, and gain perspective. Epictetus reminds us, “It’s not events that upset us but our opinions about them.” Anxiety thrives on those opinions. Letting go of them can be transformative. Anxiety is expensive—not just in terms of the mental toll, but in the way it costs us our lives. Every minute spent consumed by worry is a minute lost. Maybe we can’t get rid of it entirely, but like our finances, we can be *more efficient.* We can budget. We can eliminate unnecessary expenses and get rid of obvious waste.  Anxiety may never disappear entirely. But with practice, you can begin to discard it, as Marcus did. You can remind yourself that it’s within you, not outside. And slowly, you can reclaim the moments it’s stolen. It’s not easy, but I’m working on it. Every day, I try to get a little better. And I hope you will, too.

Bitcoin is digital money and an asset (store of value). Ethereum, the largest altcoin by market cap, is a blockchain based global virtual computer with a tokenised settlement layer. This allows smart contracts to be run on the EVM (Ethereum Virtual machine). Smart contracts are neither smart, nor contracts. They are simply code which automatically executes given specific conditions. Ethereum is tokenised meaning that you can create financial settlement contracts based on specific agreed conditions. For example, if you order goods from a merchant, a contract can be established whereby the goods are only shipped once payment has been guaranteed by locking it into a smart contract, but that money is only released to the merchant once the goods reach the destination, confirmed electronically by the shipping company. If receipt of goods is not confirmed within a specified amount of time, that money is returned to the customer. So Ethereum is not a financial instrument, it is a type of virtual computer that has money built in to allow real world electronic transactions to occur. So why would you buy the Ethereum monetary token “Ether”? Well purely to enable you to conduct business or build contracts on the Ethereum Virtual Machine. You cannot operate on Ethereum without “Ether”. A side effect of the popularity of the EVM for conducting business is that the “Ether” token has become more valuable over time. Investors who have never used the EVM see the “Ether” token increase in value and so purchase this token purely to benefit from the increasing value of this token. Therefore there is a huge amount of “Ether” sitting unused in wallets accumulating value for its own sake. Now let’s take a slightly hypothetical situation. Let’s say that Amazon gift vouchers used their own currency called “AMZ”, so if you wished to buy somebody an Amazon gift voucher you would be buying Amazons native currency. Now imagine that as Amazon grew as a company the value of that currency increased relative to the USD, EURO or GBP. Speculators would start buying Amazon gift vouchers with no intention of spending them, but simply holding them eventually looking to sell once a certain profit had been reached. We now have an investment market for something unintended. Of course in the real world, Amazon gift vouchers are only available in government national currencies such as USD or GBP, so their is no incentive to buy one unless you are gifting it to a friend or family member. And the recipient will use it within weeks or months to purchase goods from the online retailer, which is its intended purpose. This is the problem with Ethereum and many other altcoins. They were intended to provide financial utility for the underlying functionality of their computer code and blockchain. Not by investors as a speculative asset. Bitcoin is different. It was designed to be a monetary system to replace the shortcomings of government backed national currencies. Since 1971, when the gold standard ended and government (fiat) currencies were no longer backed by any physical asset, those currencies have been eroding in value and are on a path to hyperinflation. The first tremor happened in 2007/8 during the financial crises when almost all banks around the world collapsed due to the enormous amount of unbacked debt. During this time, a pseudo anonymous individual or group who went by the nom de plume “Satoshi Nakamoto” created an alternative currency based on the best attributes of gold and cash, but for the Internet era. As it has become adopted as money around the world, it has become increasingly valuable and has provided increasing utility. Bitcoin has also become a speculative asset invested in by millions of individuals and companies with no intention of spending it as money, instead saving it as a store of value to be realised at some time in the future. Some question whether it should be used this way and valid arguments criticise its use as an asset. This criticism has validity, however gold and cash (money) has always been accumulated as a store of value and most people hold more money than they need if they are able to, as it allows financial freedom. Using Bitcoin as an asset is a natural consequence of Bitcoin the money.

A conversa global sobre Bitcoin entrou numa nova fase, saindo do campo da especulação para o centro das decisões estratégicas. A proposta do Presidente-eleito Donald Trump para criar uma reserva nacional de Bitcoin, a votação iminente dos acionistas da Microsoft sobre Bitcoin como investimento corporativo e a análise da Amazon para usar Bitcoin como activo de reserva mostram como a **teoria dos jogos** está a influenciar decisões reais. No centro destas iniciativas está o conceito de **vantagem do first-mover**. Os primeiros a agir — sejam empresas ou nações — têm a oportunidade de colher benefícios desproporcionais, desde domínio financeiro até influência global. No entanto, essas acções obrigam os concorrentes a reagir, criando um efeito dominó em várias indústrias e fronteiras. Com apenas **~1.206.000 bitcoins restantes para serem minerados**, a corrida começou, e os stakes não poderiam ser mais altos. #### A Reserva de Bitcoin de Trump: Uma Estratégia de Estado-Nação Em julho de 2024, Donald Trump surpreendeu o mundo financeiro ao anunciar planos para estabelecer uma reserva nacional de Bitcoin. Em novembro, mais detalhes foram revelados no projecto de lei proposto pela senadora Cynthia Lummis, “Bitcoin Act of 2024,” que prevê a aquisição de um milhão de bitcoins ao longo de cinco anos, financiada pela realocação de activos do Federal Reserve, evitando aumento da dívida pública. O plano não é apenas uma protecção contra a inflação; é uma jogada geopolítica. Tornando-se a primeira potência a adoptar Bitcoin nesta escala, os EUA buscam consolidar a sua liderança na economia global em transformação. Esta medida obriga outras nações, como China ou Rússia — que já estão a discutir também integrar Bitcoin nas suas economias — a repensarem as suas estratégias. A proposta de Trump introduz uma dinâmica de jogo de soma zero. Se os EUA acumularem uma reserva significativa enquanto outras nações ficam para trás, o país ganha soberania financeira, maior influência global e o poder de moldar o futuro. Contudo, essa acção pode desencadear uma corrida global, com países a competir para garantir o máximo de Bitcoin possível antes que sua oferta finita se esgote. #### A Proposta de Bitcoin da Microsoft: Pressão sobre Gigantes Corporativos Em outubro de 2024, os acionistas da Microsoft receberam uma proposta solicitando que a empresa explorasse Bitcoin como investimento corporativo. Com a votação marcada para 10 de dezembro, a decisão terá um impacto que ultrapassa a própria Microsoft. Uma votação a favor pode desencadear uma reacção em cadeia entre outras gigantes tecnológicas, enquanto uma recusa pode abrir espaço para que empresas como Google ou Apple se posicionem como líderes no sector. _Nota: a votacao foi negativa, apenas 0.55% dos accionistas da Microsoft votaram a favor! Caso para dizer que a Microsoft teve um momento Kodak! #HFSP_ Michael Saylor, presidente executivo da MicroStrategy, tem estado na linha da frente, defendendo a adopção corporativa de Bitcoin, apresentando-o não apenas como um activo financeiro, mas como uma oportunidade transformadora. A administração da Microsoft recomendou a rejeição da proposta, citando processos de investimento já existentes. No entanto, a pressão está a aumentar. O desempenho impressionante de Bitcoin, com ganhos anuais de 131% e um preço recorde acima de $104.000, torna cada vez mais difícil para as empresas ignorarem a oportunidade. Para a Microsoft, os stakes são claros: agir cedo permitiria que a empresa se posicionasse como líder na integração de Bitcoin na estratégia corporativa, pressionando concorrentes como Google, Apple e Meta a fazerem o mesmo ou arriscarem ficar para trás. Uma entrada tardia, por outro lado, pode resultar em custos mais elevados e oportunidades perdidas, à medida que o preço de Bitcoin continua a subir com a crescente procura institucional. #### A Aposta da Amazon em Bitcoin A Amazon, a maior retalhista online do mundo, está agora numa encruzilhada. No dia 8 de dezembro de 2024, a empresa recebeu uma proposta dos accionistas para alocar 5% das suas reservas de $88 mil milhões em Bitcoin. Este movimento acompanha uma tendência crescente de interesse institucional, com fundos negociados em bolsa de Bitcoin a atraírem milhares de milhões de dólares em entradas na última semana. Se a Amazon aprovar a proposta na Assembleia Geral Anual de 2025, o impacto será sísmico. A decisão da empresa enviará um sinal claro ao mercado, validando Bitcoin como um activo de reserva legítimo. Além disso, colocará uma pressão significativa sobre rivais como Walmart, Google e Alibaba para seguirem o exemplo. À medida que mais empresas entram no mercado, a oferta finita de Bitcoin será ainda mais pressionada, elevando seu preço e recompensando aqueles que agiram primeiro. A possível adopção de Bitcoin pela Amazon também reforça a ideia do efeito de sinalização na teoria dos jogos. Ao abraçar Bitcoin, a Amazon demonstraria confiança no futuro do activo, incentivando outros participantes do mercado a fazerem o mesmo. A decisão provavelmente aceleraria um efeito dominó em várias indústrias, dificultando cada vez mais para os concorrentes permanecerem inertes. #### Efeito Dominó As movimentações estratégicas de Trump, Microsoft e Amazon não existem isoladamente — são catalisadores de uma corrida mais ampla. El Salvador e Butão já se posicionaram como adoptantes iniciais, mas a proposta de Trump eleva a adopção de Bitcoin a um novo patamar. Se os EUA agirem de forma decisiva, é provável que aliados e concorrentes façam o mesmo, desencadeando uma corrida por reservas de Bitcoin que poderá assemelhar-se a uma corrida armamentista em intensidade. Como já se começa a ver no Canada, Rússia, Alemanha, etc... O mesmo se aplica às corporações. À medida que líderes como MicroStrategy, Tesla e, potencialmente, Microsoft e Amazon tomam posições, os concorrentes enfrentarão uma pressão crescente para agir ou arriscar a irrelevância. Cada novo participante no mercado reduz a oferta disponível de Bitcoin, criando uma urgência crescente para os retardatários. Os números reforçam a aposta: apenas **~1.206.000 bitcoins** permanecem para serem minerados e apenas cerca de 2.000.000 em exchanges. Com a adopção institucional e nacional a acelerar, a luta por este recurso limitado provavelmente impulsionará ainda mais os preços, transformando Bitcoin de um "activo especulativo" para um imperativo estratégico. #### Conclusão: O Jogo de Bitcoin Está em Curso A dinâmica de adopção de Bitcoin ilustra a teoria dos jogos em acção que podemos observar em tempo real. A vantagem dos pioneiros não é apenas um conceito teórico — é uma vantagem tangível na corrida por Bitcoin, oferecendo recompensas desproporcionais aos primeiros a agir e forçando outros a reagirem. A proposta de Trump para uma reserva nacional de Bitcoin define o palco para uma corrida geopolítica, enquanto gigantes corporativos como Microsoft e Amazon enfrentam decisões que moldarão os seus futuros e pondo pressão nos seus concorrentes. À medida que a oferta de Bitcoin diminui e o seu preço reflecte a crescente procura, a pressão para agir cedo só aumentará. Seja no palco nacional ou corporativo, as decisões tomadas hoje definirão o panorama económico de amanhã. O jogo de Bitcoin está em curso, e os jogadores que compreendem os riscos — e agem estrategicamente — têm o potencial de moldar a próxima era das finanças globais. #bitcoin #gameTheory

Если бы в Горноправдинске вручали премии за самые неожиданные улучшения городской среды, то недавний инцидент с канализацией точно бы попал в финал. Казалось бы, что может быть хуже, чем прорвавшиеся трубы и ручьи, отнюдь не кристально чистой воды, разлившиеся по центральной улице? Но местные коммунальщики доказали, что даже из самого неприятного можно извлечь пользу – и сделали это с такой скоростью, что теперь люди обсуждают не само ЧП, а его последствия. Началось все с того, что старенькая канализационная сеть, напоминающая скорее музейный экспонат, чем рабочую систему, в один момент решила дать городу почувствовать, что такое "вышло из берегов". Потоки... скажем так, содержимого стремительно разлились, угрожая перекрыть не только движение машин, но и спокойствие горожан.  Однако коммунальные службы, обычно славящиеся неторопливостью, удивили всех. Уже через пару часов на месте разгула стихийных нечистот заработала техника, а сотрудники, как один, бросились в бой. Кто-то шутил, что это был их "звездный час", ведь редко когда столько внимания приковано к их работе. "Мы использовали специальный раствор, который нейтрализует запах и разлагает органику," – рассказал начальник службы ЖКХ. Уточнять состав чудо-средства он отказался, но город сразу почувствовал, что воздух стал легче, а настроение – чище. Но на этом коммунальная магия не закончилась. Там, где еще недавно текли не самые приятные потоки, теперь журчат новые декоративные ручьи. Местные власти приняли решение использовать эту зону для благоустройства, и уже через неделю здесь появились ухоженные парковые зоны с лавочками и клумбами.  "Мы решили, что если уж природа так распорядилась, то почему бы не сделать из этого что-то хорошее," – прокомментировал мэр Горноправдинска. Местные жители, еще недавно всерьез обсуждавшие переезд, теперь делают селфи на фоне новенького ландшафтного дизайна и иронизируют: "Где текло, там и журчит". Некоторые даже предложили назвать парк "Река Жизни" – правда, что именно имелось в виду, остается загадкой. Так Горноправдинск доказал, что даже самые неприятные проблемы можно превратить в повод для гордости. Теперь жители шутят: "Рвануло, зато затянуло – и в прямом, и в переносном смысле".
