I have two Nostr profiles I use for different subject matter, and I wanted a way to manage and track zaps for each. Using Alby Hub I created two isolated Lightning wallets each associated with one of the profile’s nsecs. YakiHonne made it easy to connect the associated wallets with the profiles. The user interface is well designed to show balances for each.  In my case, I have one profile for photography related content, and the other for Bitcoin, Nostr, and technology related content. I can easily switch between the two, sending and receiving zaps on each while staying up to date on balances and viewing transactions.  Using my self-hosted Alby Hub I can manage Lightning channels and wallets while sending and receiving zaps for multiple profiles with YakiHonne. #YakiHonne #AlbyHub #Lightning #Bitcoin #Nostr

*The story you are about to read is one hundred percent true. It is also my first encounter with a supernatural force.*  It was the summer of 2003 and I was visiting my auntie in Nashville as a 16-year-old, pimply-faced teenager. My younger cousins, Alex, Mikey, and Tony were also there. One afternoon, they were all sitting bored outside in the blazing heat, sheltered under the tree on the front lawn. It was a comical sight really, all of them sprawled out lifeless and silent, eaten alive by the unforgiving mosquitos. I ducked inside and asked my aunt if it was okay to borrow her RAV4 to take them to play basketball nearby at Pitts Park. Despite not having a license she handed me the keys and when I went outside to tell the boys we were going to shoot hoops, you’d have thought I said I was taking them to Disney World! Off we went up and down the rollercoaster-like hills of Tennessee. Yes, I was speeding, and no, we were not wearing seatbelts. (Remember, sixteen, acne, angst, etc.) We arrived at the park and immediately I felt an eerie sensation. I had been there before with my other cousin Kim, but this time was undeniably different. It didn’t matter that the sun was shining above the bright blue sky, I sensed a darkness lingering. And it had nothing to do with the sticky Southern humidity. It was an overwhelming, odd, ineffable sensation. My eyes couldn’t help but focus on the trees behind the court. As if someone or something was watching us. Nevertheless, after shooting for teams, we began a 2-on-2 immediately. When Mikey and I won, (I towered over them and Mikey was surprisingly pretty good) Tony wasn’t too happy about losing. In frustration, he bounced the basketball with both hands as hard as he could. The ball ended up on the other side of the fences surrounding the court and rolled into the bordering woods. None of the little squirts wanted to retrieve the ball, so as the big cuz I volunteered myself. Nothing to it right? Wrong! As I walked towards the woods I couldn’t even locate the basketball. I stopped and scanned until I finally saw it, way deep among the trees. “How did it get all the way over there?” I mumbled beneath my breath. Then, while approaching the ball I heard a loud and distinct voice—“Hey!”—I turned around suddenly, but nothing was there. At first I wasn’t afraid, rather I was genuinely confused. It just made no damn sense, there was no one around. I swiveled my head in every direction and once again the deep, gravelly voice called out, “Hey!” This time I knew where it was coming from and crept towards the source until I spotted something in the bushes. I crouched and pushed some branches aside. And that’s when I noticed it. Buried under the shrubs was a tombstone! It stared back at me, weathered, cracked, moss-eaten. I picked my ass up, ran to the ball, scooped it and bolted back to the court. Little Alex asked if we were going to play a rematch; I said, “Hell no”. After herding them back to the car, we left and never looked back. To this day I remember the voice. I recall the inexplicable feeling of the unknown energy, force, or spirit that was with us. I only recently shared this story with him and now, at 27, he asked why I didn’t tell him sooner. I thought hard about it and answered, “I guess I didn’t want you to get scared and piss yourself.”

### A Rose By Any Other Name... or whatever. NIP-05 is an identifier created by mapping Nostr keys to DNS based identifiers. [More technically](https://nips.nostr.com/5), it the part of the protocol that defines how to do this mapping, but you will often see the resulting identifier referred to as "your NIP-05". You will also see it referenced as a "Nostr Address", a "Nostr ID", or a "Nostr Verification". None of those terms are fully correct but nor are they wrong. A NIP-05 identifier does look very similar to an email address (i.e. NostrName @ SomeSite .com). It makes it easier to convey your Nostr profile to friends or collogues, since your chosen name is not unique and the npub format is not exactly something you will be wanting to jot down at a business meeting. It can be used to find you and your notes, so the term, Nostr Address, fits in that sense. There are free services that provide a NIP-05 to you, but you may want to consider contracting this service to a paid provider. Free services tend to be abused by spammers. Paid NIP-05 providers are reasonably priced, more reputable, provide select affiliations, and often other services, along with hosting your Nip-05 file. Nostr ID might be the appropriate term, in a different way. Your NIP-05 is unique. You are not limited to possessing a single one, but only one may be present on your profile at any given time. You can switch them out as needed. Some Nostr-based services will require that you have a particular NIP-05 provider in order to access their relay communities or other features. In that sense, it is an ID, proving that you are a member of that community. These NIP-05 IDs are created and hosted for you by the community relay hosts, with whatever criteria they choose to require. Nostr Verification comes into consideration if you own or run a website. It can be used to validate your identity. By hosting your NIP-05 file on your own domain, you are, in essence, validating that the same person has ownership of the website and control of the associated Nostr profile. (i.e. YourName @ YourSite .com) This is exceptionally handy for any well known individual who may be subject to impersonation. This is great, too, if you sell a product or service online and would like to use Nostr as a means of advertising and engaging with your customers. Your NIP-05 can signal to your customers that you, or any employee, are affiliated with your company. All of this, for me to tell you... that you don't need a NIP-05 identifier to use Nostr. It just makes a lot of the things you might want to do simpler. For clear instructions on how to set up your NIP-05 visit [nostr.how](https://nostr.how/en/guides/get-verified)

I am not an engineer by trade. I took my math classes for college credit as early as I could in high school. I signed up for a bachelor of arts in college and basically didn't touch STEM for the rest of my formal education. Seminary (incomplete) and Law School (JD) didn't go deep into any of the sciences -- I think I struggled through an "accounting for lawyers" class. The dumb thing is that in middle school and early high school I was obsessed with tinkering with mechanical things. I rebuilt a go-kart, tinkered with my computer, built skateboard ramps. High school came, I got obsessed with chasing girls and listening to emo music, and that culminated in a foggy pursuit of journalism, linguistics, ministry and/or academia in my post-graduate adventures. Also, algebra came to me really easily. I loved cramming the day before a test in middle school and embarrassing the other A students who had to work hard to keep those grades up. I obviously see now how dangerous that pattern can be to sustaining motivation and discipline in the long-time preference aspects of life. I was motivated by the idea of "getting one over" on the authoritarian educators in my life -- they said that the only way to succeed is to do my homework and study, but I wanted them to know that *I was different*. And I think I was different from a lot of other people around me, but I aimed my agency in the wrong direction. The rebellion became the end for me, instead of being the means to an end of meaningful learning. Rebel against the system so you can escape into a self-sovereign, high-agency existence. At the risk of over-stuffing the analogy, perhaps that point brings me to decentralized social media environments. Facebook is like my school teachers, there are tasks laid out for me nudging me to behave a certain way. My grades are analogized by my reach that Facebook will give and take away. I run a few Facebook pages and I am constantly irritated by the annoying UI. Constantly changing, adding shit that I cannot imagine anyone asking for and taking away the shit that you refer to everyday. Just this past week I noticed that I have to click into a post on Meta business sweet in order to see how many shares it has. This used to be on the page as I scrolled through all of my content. There is literally just a blank white space where it used to say: 54 shares. My thought goes to, this is somehow punishing me for my reach. Although Zuckerberg has pledged his allegiance to the new age of "free speech" and given his finger to the government-meddling that he fanned to flame over the last ten or fifteen years, I still think Facebook wants to nudge users away from certain things and towards other things. Libertarians have railed against the "nanny-state" but it is harder to understand how we also give up our sovereignty to centralized social media companies: the Nanny-Feed. This must die. The unbundling of facebook is a weird time that feels like the detangling of digital society. Life without widespread Craigslist adoption is somewhat more annoying. I used to scroll Craigslist all the time for stuff. I went to Los Angeles for a few months in 2012 and used it to buy some things and hear about auditions for different projects, a few of which panned out for me. There was something about having some separation from the site that I went to specifically to network with co-workers and communicate with old friends that I liked. I don't want my social media identity locked on one site, especially a site that is subservient to a boardroom. I also like the inconvenience of hopping over to a different app to handle my marketplace experiences. A lot of this needs to be thought through a lot more, because attempting to untangle the beast that is "meta" (still Facebook to me) requires a lot more insight than I have as I type this out. I'm mostly just nostalgic and emotional and remembering a different time in my life.

We're down to the Final Four in March Madness and not only am I running away with the [Points Challenge](https://stacker.news/items/932715/r/Undisciplined), but I'll be running away with all of @grayruby's sats in the [Predyx](https://beta.predyx.com/category/basketball) live Predyxion markets. Is it good that all of the top teams are still alive or do we miss the upsets? In the NBA, the West is still all jumbled up. Seeds 2-9 are up for grabs. What matchups are likely in the playoffs and which ones are we hoping for? Ovechkin is right on the cusp of the All-Time Goals Scored record. Will he get there by the end of the season? @grayruby has some irresponsible, way too early, MLB takes. The NFL Draft picture might be clearing up, but there are always surprises. We'll talk about our hopes for how our teams approach the first few rounds. And, of course, we'll give updates on all the territory action. Happy stacking, stackers! originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/934354

A few random thoughts: 1. It might not be the people eating unhealthy amounts of sugar who cut back on it. I was never obese and I radically cut back on my sugar intake. 2. Sugar may have been highly correlated with other similar substances that people didn't cut back on. I'm thinking about other refined carbs, primarily. 3. There may simply be a lag and obesity will start declining as a result of lower sugar consumption. 4. It does look like the rate of obesity increase decreased slightly (lower slope), so maybe the issue is just that sugar intake is still too high, but the relationship is correct. What do you think explains this divergence? originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/934292

At a conference I sit in a quite area and observe and enjoy a coffee. It's bustling around and many are attending a speech at the main stage. Two people sit next to me on a sofa and begin a conversation. He's wearing a beige hoodie and seems to be builder in the space, she's wearing a green winter dress and they seem to be colleagues. It seems they are now meeting for the first time in real life and exchanging advice, him advising her on how to store her Bitcoin. He’s been longer in the space it seems and she’s just started at the new start-up. I quickly introduce myself and ask them if I may listen in on the conversation since I am a researcher working in the space. They happily agree. She goes on to mention that she will be paid in Bitcoin and does not know how to store it. He goes on to advise her on using a hardware wallet, then takes out his phone and shows a video of the hardware wallet he is using. She says "Wow, it looks so easy to use. I tried so many different hardware wallets but they are so difficult to use." I see the tension in her shoulders, which then relaxes a bit. He goes on to show her all the security and backup methods for this particular hardware wallet. "I'm sold." She's smiling now and one can see that a decision has been made. These conversations are happening everyday across the world not only at conferences but in villages, cafes or during random conversation at co-working working spaces. While we strive for good marketing and adoption of Bitcoin, these simple conversations between two people are what is driving actual use. Safety and trust is a cultural concept in many countries and viewed differently depending on where one has originated from. If one is to imagine that many people would benefit from storing BTC on a device or using an app for lighting transactions then they must trust the process. This need to trust is a basic primary human need. They will only trust the process if: - Empowered: They feel as if they 100% know what they are doing when they are onboarded to the application/hardware device. If there is anything that creates doubt or friction in their minds, the trust to use it as a storage of BTC is gone. A person will window shop when deciding to use a wallet. On average when we interviewed people for various UX research initiatives one person had a minimum of two different Bitcoin wallets on their phone. Prior to that they had tested out quite a few wallets before settling on a decision. - Safe: Many are nervous that they will not be able to access their funds once they put it online/on a hardware device. However often receiving advice from someone they trust this will result in them feeling safe. They will likely use the very same device/application that is being used by their friend/colleague or person in a close inner circle. While this story might seem overly simplified, it’s been repeated multiple times while observing the behavior of people at conferences, through usability tests, and through interviews. If we understand that a person is tentatively stepping into a “home” (Bitcoin wallet/hardware device) and looking “around” (onboarding process). Once they step in, they will only leave their “bag” (BTC) on the table if specific criteria are met. If not, they will pick up their “bag” (BTC) and walk into the next “home.” (Bitcoin wallet/hardware device). During this process there are basic psychological principles are taking place. This is where design comes in and creates an experience. The UX design could be equated to the “interior design” of the house. Every click, every interaction every visual that a person sees or experiences is driving them to trust or distrust the experience. We as builders have a unique role in this process and I fully believe that we will solve these challenges together. If you've read all the way to the end, thank you. On another note, the last 3 weeks have been filled with a lot of strategic thinking, planning, and collaboration. There are many balls in the air at the moment: - [Designathon](https://event.bitcoin.design/) - [UX Research OFF](https://github.com/BitcoinDesign/Meta/issues/765) - [Presidio Design Week](https://github.com/BitcoinDesign/Meta/issues/746) - [BTC Prague](https://github.com/BitcoinDesign/Meta/issues/745) - UX Research Africa strategy If you've read all the way to the end, thank you for reading. ✌🏽Peace

⛅️ This week has been a bit hazy—I haven’t been feeling my best. And that’s okay. There are days like that. But this time, it felt like something deeper, as if something was off. Like I wasn’t *enough*. 🌞 Thankfully, as the days went by, I started to feel better. Today, I feel like myself again—like I’ve put my human suit back on and climbed back on the horse. ✏️ I picked up my pencil and started drawing again, just me and my iPad, without any expectations weighing me down. It felt good—peaceful even—to create for the sake of creating. 🦉 What I’ve realized is this: It’s not bad to have goals or aspirations. Those are important! But what becomes unhealthy is chasing perfectionism while trying to achieve those goals. For me, perfectionism turns into a spiral—not rainbows and butterflies but a storm cloud of self-doubt. I guess I just want to share this in case anyone out there needs to hear it: It’s okay to be imperfect. And most importantly, it’s okay to just be yourself. [To those little leprechauns of doubt kicking and screaming inside my head, I can confidently say:*Not today, Satan!*](https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsp3lc6wd4tqrwzssqmtv3mk6fctdzqn3hctjugrfkhtev6q68ht0g488mat)  🎨 As part of my journey back to myself this week, I decided to draw something simple and even try my hand at a little animation since it had been a while. Here’s what I came up with:  Imposter syndrome can be deceiving—it whispers lies about your worth and tries to steal your joy—but just like anything in life, ***this too shall pass.*** 🎢 The ebbs and flows are part of life’s natural rhythm; you’d think I’d have learned that by now! But life has its way of (re)teaching us lessons when we need them most. ✨ To anyone reading this who might be struggling: Be kind to yourself. You’re doing better than you think you are. And remember—**you are enough.** Godspeed

«Rainha em trapos», chamavam-na. Antes andarilha, assentava-se agora em trono xexelento, lixo cenográfico de alguma companhia de teatro. A qualquer que passasse perto dela, encarando-a, concedia retribuir um sorriso condescendente e um aceno de mão, entendendo que a ela agradeciam algum favor. Antes da aurora, levantava-se e ordenava ao sol que amanhecesse; antes do ocaso, o contrário: que anoitecesse. Em certa data, por capricho, decidiu que não haveria nem raiar nem cessar de raiar naquele dia, e ordenou ao Sol que nem ousasse despontar. Negou-se o Sol a obedecer simplesmente cumprindo seu diuturno trajeto. — A esse rebelde, matem-no! [revista gueto: 2017]

 ## **Introduction** If you have a functioning brain, it’s impossible to fully stand for any politician or align completely with any political party. The solutions we need are not found in the broken systems of power but in individual actions and local initiatives. Voting for someone may be your choice, but relying solely on elections every few years as a form of political activism is a losing strategy. People around the world have fallen into the trap of thinking that casting a ballot once every four years is enough, only to return to complacency as conditions worsen. Voting for the "lesser of two evils" has been the norm for decades, yet expecting different results from the same flawed system is naive at best. The truth is, governments are too corrupt to save us. In times of crisis, they won’t come to your aid—instead, they will tighten their grip, imposing more surveillance, control, and wealth extraction to benefit the oligarch class. To break free from this cycle, we must first protect ourselves individually—financially, geographically, and digitally—alongside our families. Then, we must organize and build resilient local communities. These are the only ways forward. History has shown us time and again that the masses are easily deceived by the political circus, falling for the illusion of a "savior" who will fix everything. But whether right, center, or left, the story remains the same: corruption, lies, and broken promises. If you possess a critical and investigative mind, you know better than to place your trust in politicians, parties, or self-proclaimed heroes. The real solution lies in free and sovereign individuals who reject the herd mentality and take responsibility for their own lives. From the beginning of time, true progress has come from individuals who think for themselves and act independently. The nauseating web of politicians, billionaires, and oligarchs fighting for power and resources has never been—and will never be—the answer to our problems. In a world increasingly dominated by corrupted governments, NGOs, and elites, ordinary people must take proactive steps to protect themselves and their families. --- ## **1. Financial Protection: Reclaiming Sovereignty Through Bitcoin** Governments and central banks have long manipulated fiat currencies, eroding wealth through inflation and bailouts that transfer resources to the oligarch class. Bitcoin, as a decentralized, censorship-resistant, and finite currency, offers a way out. Here’s what individuals can do: - **Adopt Bitcoin as a Savings Tool**: Shift a portion of your savings into Bitcoin to protect against inflation and currency devaluation. Bitcoin’s fixed supply (21 million coins) ensures it cannot be debased like fiat money. - **Learn Self-Custody**: Store your Bitcoin in a hardware wallet or use open-source software wallets. Avoid centralized exchanges, which are vulnerable to government seizure or collapse. - **Diversify Geographically:** Hold assets in multiple jurisdictions to reduce the risk of confiscation or capital controls. Consider offshore accounts or trusts if feasible. - **Barter and Local Economies**: In times of crisis, local barter systems and community currencies can bypass failing national systems. Bitcoin can serve as a global medium of exchange in such scenarios. --- ## 2. Geographical Flexibility: Reducing Dependence on Oppressive Systems Authoritarian regimes thrive on controlling populations within fixed borders. By increasing geographical flexibility, individuals can reduce their vulnerability: - **Obtain Second Passports or Residencies**: Invest in citizenship-by-investment programs or residency permits in countries with greater freedoms and lower surveillance. - **Relocate to Freer Jurisdictions**: Research and consider moving to regions with stronger property rights, lower taxes, and less government overreach. - **Decentralize Your Life**: Avoid keeping all your assets, family, or business operations in one location. Spread them across multiple regions to mitigate risks. --- ## 3. Digital Privacy: Fighting Surveillance with Advanced Tools The rise of mass surveillance and data harvesting by governments and corporations threatens individual freedom. Here’s how to protect yourself: - **Use Encryption**: Encrypt all communications using tools like Signal or ProtonMail. Ensure your devices are secured with strong passwords and biometric locks. - **Adopt Privacy-Focused Technologies**: Use Tor for anonymous browsing, VPNs to mask your IP address, and open-source operating systems like Linux to avoid backdoors. - **Reject Surveillance Tech**: Avoid smart devices that spy on you (e.g., Alexa, Google Home). Opt for decentralized alternatives like Mastodon instead of Twitter, or PeerTube instead of YouTube. - **Educate Yourself on Digital Privacy**: Learn about tools and practices that enhance your online privacy and security. --- ## 4. Building Resilient Local Communities: The Foundation of a Free Future While individual actions are crucial, collective resilience is equally important. Governments are too corrupt to save populations in times of crisis—history shows they will instead impose more control and transfer wealth to the elite. To counter this, communities must organize locally: - **Form Mutual Aid Networks**: Create local groups that share resources, skills, and knowledge. These networks can provide food, medical supplies, and security during crises. - **Promote Local Economies**: Support local businesses, farmers, and artisans. Use local currencies or barter systems to reduce dependence on centralized financial systems. - **Develop Off-Grid Infrastructure**: Invest in renewable energy, water filtration, and food production to ensure self-sufficiency. Community gardens, solar panels, and rainwater harvesting are excellent starting points. - **Educate and Empower**: Host workshops on financial literacy, digital privacy, and sustainable living. Knowledge is the most powerful tool against authoritarianism. --- ## 5. The Bigger Picture: Rejecting the Illusion of Saviors The deep corruption within governments, NGOs, and the billionaire class is evident. These entities will never act in the interest of ordinary people. Instead, they will exploit crises to expand surveillance, control, and wealth extraction. The idea of a political “savior” is a dangerous illusion. True freedom comes from individuals taking responsibility for their own lives and working together to build decentralized, resilient systems. --- ## Conclusion: A Call to Action The path to a genuinely free humanity begins with individual action. By adopting Bitcoin, securing digital privacy, increasing geographical flexibility, and building resilient local communities, ordinary people can protect themselves against authoritarianism. Governments will not save us—they are the problem. It is up to us to create a better future, free from the control of corrupt elites. - The tools for liberation already exist. - The question is: will we use them?

This is a part of the Bitcoin Infinity Academy course on Knut Svanholm's book Bitcoin: Sovereignty Through Mathematics. For more information, check out our[ Geyser page](https://geyser.fund/project/infinity)! ## The Gullible Collective We humans are biased by nature. Everything we think we know is distorted in one way or another by our cognitive shortcomings. The human brain has been forced to evolve and adapt to whatever environment it found itself in over millennia. Having a brain that is capable of setting aside personal aims for the sake of the collective has proven to be advantageous for the evolution of our species as a whole. The same is true for every other social life form. However, letting these parts of our brains guide our political judgment can lead to disastrous results in the long run — not because of bad intentions but because of the simple fact that a few individuals will always thrive by playing every political system for personal gain. From an evolutionary perspective, an army of ay-sayers and martyrs, regardless of whether we’re talking about an army of humans or an army of ants or bacteria, has an advantage over a less disciplined one. From an individual's evolutionary perspective though, it is better to  *appear* like you’re a martyr but to run and hide when the actual battle happens. This at least partly explains the high percentage of sociopaths in leadership positions all over the world. If you can appear to act for the good of the collective but dupe your way into more and more power behind people’s backs, you’re more likely to succeed than someone playing a fair game.   The story of banking and fiat currency is a story about collective madness. Historically, rulers have tricked people into killing each other through the promise of an after-life. Through central banking, the rulers of the world wars could trick people into building armies for them by printing more money. This is seldom mentioned in history classes because it still goes on today on a massive scale. Inflation might no longer be paying tank factory workers, but it is the main mechanism that funnels wealth into the pockets of the super-rich and away from everyone else. Inflation is the mechanism that hinders us from transporting the value of our labor through time. It makes us avoid real long-term thinking. We hardly ever consider this a problem because none of us has ever experienced an alternative to it. Money is still vastly misunderstood by the lion's share of the world’s population. In most parts of the world, banks do something called fractional reserve lending. This means that they lend out money that they don't have — conjuring up new money out of thin air and handing it out to their customers as loans. Loans that have to be paid back with interest. Interest that can’t be paid back with thin air but has to be paid with so-called real money. Real money, of which there isn’t enough around to pay back all the loans, so that a constant need for new credit becomes a crucial part of the entire system. Not to mention central banks, which do the same and worse for governments. We’re so used to it by now that every country is expected to have a national debt. All but a handful of ridiculously rich ones do. National debts are also loans that have to be paid back with interest backed by nothing. Think about that. Your taxes are paying someone else's interest. Your tax money is not paying for your grandmother's bypass operation, it is paying interest to a central bank.   When the ideas of the catholic church ruled Europe, people who didn’t believe in God were few and very seldomly outspoken. They had good reason for this since belief in God was virtually mandatory throughout society. Ever since 1971, when famously dishonest American president Richard Nixon cut the last string that tied the US Dollar to gold, our conception of what the world economy is and ought to be has been skewed by an utterly corrupt system. We’re led to believe that we’re all supposed to work longer and longer days in order to spend more and more money and bury ourselves in more and more debt to keep the machine running. We’re duped into thinking that buying a new car every other year is somehow good for the environment and that bringing a cotton bag to the grocery store will somehow save the planet. Stores manipulate us all the time through advertising and product placement, but we’re led to believe that if we can be “climate-smart,” we’re behaving responsibly. Somehow, our gross domestic product is supposed to increase indefinitely while politicians will save us from ourselves through carbon taxes. Fortunately for us, and unfortunately for them, there now exists a way for unbelievers of this narrative to opt out. Life finds a way, as Jeff Goldblum once so famously put it.   Collectivism has ruined many societies. Those of us fortunate enough to live in liberal democracies tend to forget that even democracy is an involuntary system. It’s often referred to as the “worst form of government except all others that have been tried,” but the system itself is very rarely criticized. We’re so used to being governed that not having a leader seems preposterous to most of us. Still, we pay our taxes, and an enormous cut of the fruit of our labor goes to a third party via inflation and the taxation of every good and service imaginable. Institutions, once in place, tend to always favor their own survival just as much as any other living thing does. People employed in the public sector are unlikely to vote against policies that threaten their livelihood. This is a bigger problem than we realize because it’s subtle and takes a long time, but every democracy is headed in the same direction. A bigger state, a more complicated system, and fewer individual freedoms. Long term, it seems that all of our systems tend to favor those who know how to play that system and not those who contribute the most value to their fellow man. Proponents of socialist policies often claim that failed socialist states “weren’t really socialist” or that “that wasn’t really socialism.” What most people fail to realize is that we’ve never tried real *capitalism* since we’ve always used more or less inflationary currencies. This might very well be the most skewed narrative of our era. We’re all experiencing real, albeit disguised, socialism every single day. True free market capitalism is what we haven’t experienced yet, and it might turn out to be a very different thing than what we’re told to believe that it is by almost all mainstream media.   The validity of the classic right-left scale describing political viewpoints has been debated a lot lately, and alternative scales, like GAL-TAN, the one with an additional Y-axis describing more or less authoritarian tendencies, are popping up in various contexts around the web. After the birth of Bitcoin, there’s a new way to see this. Imagine an origo, a zero point, and a vector pointing to the left of that. *All* politics are arguably on the left because *all* policies need to be funded by taxes, and taxation can be viewed as theft. Taxation can be viewed as theft because, at its core, it’s involuntary. If a person refuses to pay his taxes, there is a threat of violence lurking in the background. Not to mention inflation, which Milton Friedman so elegantly described as “taxation without legislation.” What you do with the portion of your wealth that you have in Bitcoin is another matter altogether. If you take sufficient precautionary privacy measures and you know what you’re doing, your business in Bitcoin is beyond politics altogether. With the introduction of the Lightning Network and other privacy-improving features, it is now impossible for any third party to confiscate your money or even know that you have it, for that matter. This changes the political landscape of every nation on Earth. Bitcoin is much less confiscatable than gold and other scarce assets, which makes it a much better tool for hedging against nation-states. In this sense, Bitcoin obsoletes borders. You can cross any border on Earth with any amount of Bitcoin *in your head*. Think about that! Your Bitcoin exists in every country simultaneously. Any imposed limit on how much money you can carry from one nation to the other is now made obsolete by beautiful mathematics. Bitcoin is sometimes referred to as a “virtual currency.” This is a very inaccurate description. Bitcoin is just mathematics, and mathematics is just about the most real thing there is. There’s nothing virtual about it. Counterintuitive to some, but real nonetheless.   The complexity of human societal hierarchies and power structures is described perfectly in a classic children's book, *The Emperor’s New Clothes*, by Hans Christian Andersen. See the world as the kid who points out that the king is naked in the tale, and everything starts to make sense. Everything in human society is man-made. Nations, leaders, laws, political systems. They’re all castles in the air with nothing but a lurking threat of violence to back them up. Bitcoin is a different beast altogether. It enables every individual to verify the validity of the system at all times. If you really think about it, morality is easy. Don’t hurt other people, and don’t steal other people’s stuff. That’s the basic premise. Humans have but two ways of resolving conflict, conversation and violence, and in this sense, to hurt someone can only mean physical violence. This is why free speech is so important and why you should defend people’s right to speak their minds above everything else. It’s not about being able to express yourself. It’s about your right to hear every side of every argument and thus not have to resort to violence should a conflict of interests occur. You can’t limit free speech with just more speech — there’s always a threat of violence behind the limitations. Code, which both Bitcoin and the Internet are entirely made up of, *is speech*. Any limitations or regulations that your government implements in regard to Bitcoin are not only a display of Bitcoin’s censorship resistance but also a test of your government's stance on freedom of expression. A restriction on Bitcoin use is a restriction on free speech. Remember, the only alternative to speech that anyone has is violence. Code is a language, mathematics is a language, and money is a linguistic tool. A linguistic tool we use as a means of expressing value to each other and as a way to transport value through space and time. Any restrictions or regulations regarding how you can express value, for example, making it impossible to buy Bitcoin with your credit card, prove that the money you have in your bank account is not really yours. When people realize this, the demand for Bitcoin goes *up*, not down. If you know what you're doing, there’s no need to fear the regulators. They, on the other hand, have good reason to fear an invention that shamelessly breaks their spell. ### **About the Bitcoin Infinity Academy** The Bitcoin Infinity Academy is an educational project built around [Knut Svanholm](http://primal.net/knut)’s books about Bitcoin and Austrian Economics.

## Chef's notes This started as a spontaneous kitchen experiment—an amalgamation of recipes from old cookbooks and online finds. My younger daughter wanted to surprise her sister with something quick but fancy ("It's a vibe, Mom."), and this is what we came up with. It’s quickly established itself as a go-to favorite: simple, rich, and deeply satisfying. It serves 4 (or 1, depending on the day; I am not here to judge). Tightly wrapped, it will keep up to 3 days in the fridge, but I bet it won't last that long! ## Details - ⏲️ Prep time: 10 min - 🍳 Cook time: 0 min ## Ingredients - 1 cup (240mL) heavy whipping cream - 1/4 cup (24g) cocoa powder - 5 tbsp (38g) Confectioners (powdered) sugar - 1/4 tsp (1.25mL) vanilla extract (optional) - Flaky sea salt (optional, but excellent) ## Directions 1. 1. Whip the cream until frothy. 2. 2. Sift in cocoa and sugar, fold or gently mix (add vanilla if using). 3. 3. Whip to medium peaks (or stiff peaks, if that's more your thing). Chill and serve (topped with a touch of sea salt if you’re feeling fancy).

หลังจากที่เราเพิ่งเปิดเรื่องไฟโตสเตอรอลไปหมาด ๆ ถึงเวลาที่ต้องมาคุยกันเรื่อง oryzanol ซึ่งเป็นอีกหนึ่งสารที่ถูกอุตสาหกรรมผลักดันให้เรารู้สึกว่า “ต้องกิน” เหมือนเป็นไอเทมลับสำหรับสุขภาพหัวใจ แต่เดี๋ยวก่อนนะ ทำไมสิ่งที่มนุษย์ไม่เคยต้องการมาก่อนถึงกลายเป็นสิ่งจำเป็นไปได้ ? Oryzanol หรือ gamma-oryzanol เป็นสารประกอบที่พบได้ในน้ำมันรำข้าว มีโครงสร้างเป็น sterol ester ของกรดเฟอรูลิก (Ferulic acid esters of sterols and triterpenes) ซึ่งหมายความว่ามันมีโครงสร้างคล้ายกับไฟโตสเตอรอล แต่มาพร้อมกับองค์ประกอบของสารต้านอนุมูลอิสระที่ได้จากกรดเฟอรูลิก นั่นทำให้มันถูกโฆษณาว่าเป็นสารที่ช่วยลดคอเลสเตอรอล มีฤทธิ์ต้านอนุมูลอิสระ และอาจช่วยลดความเสี่ยงโรคหัวใจ ฟังดูดีใช่ไหม ? แต่มันก็คล้ายกับไฟโตสเตอรอลเลย คือเป็นสารที่ แข่งขันกับคอเลสเตอรอลในการดูดซึม และแน่นอนว่าผลข้างเคียงก็ยังคงอยู่ นั่นคือ มันอาจลดการดูดซึมวิตามิน A, D, E, K ซึ่งเป็นวิตามินที่ละลายในไขมันและจำเป็นต่อร่างกาย นั่นหมายความว่า ในขณะที่มันช่วยลด LDL ในกระดาษ มันอาจทำให้ร่างกายขาดสารอาหารที่สำคัญไปด้วย ปัญหาที่ใหญ่กว่าคือ oryzanol พบมากใน น้ำมันรำข้าว ซึ่งเป็นหนึ่งในน้ำมันพืชที่ผ่านการแปรรูปสูง และการบริโภคน้ำมันพืชมากเกินไปนั้นสัมพันธ์กับ ภาวะอักเสบเรื้อรัง (chronic inflammation), ภาวะต้านอินซูลิน (insulin resistance), และความเสี่ยงโรคหัวใจและหลอดเลือด การที่อุตสาหกรรมบอกให้เราเพิ่ม oryzanol ในอาหาร จึงเป็นเหมือนการผลักให้ผู้คนบริโภคน้ำมันพืชมากขึ้นโดยไม่รู้ตัว ทั้งที่น้ำมันพืชโดยเฉพาะที่ผ่านกรรมวิธีอย่างน้ำมันรำข้าวมีปริมาณโอเมก้า-6 สูง ซึ่งถ้ารับมากเกินไปจะไปกระตุ้นกระบวนการอักเสบในร่างกาย เคยสังเกตไหมครับว่า น้ำมันรำข้าวมักโชว์ตัวเลขเก๋ๆของ Oryzanol แต่กลับไม่โชว์สัดส่วน โอเมก้า 6 กับ โอเมก้า 3 เทียบง่ายๆครับ น้ำมันคาโนลา มีโอเมก้า 6 ราวๆ 2200 - 2800 ต่อน้ำมัน 15 มล. (หน่วยบริโภค) น้ำมันรำข้าว มีโอเมก้า 6 ราวๆ 4,140 - 5,520 มก. ต่อน้ำมัน 15 มล. (หน่วยบริโภค) ในขณะที่โอเมก้า 3 ราวๆ 138 - 276 มก.ต่อน้ำมัน 15 มล. (หน่วยบริโภค) นี่หมายถึงสัดส่วนสูงไปถึงได้ราวๆ 40:1 ทั้งๆที่เราเข้าใจแหละว่าโอเมก้า6 ร่างกายจำเป็น แต่แต่แต่ จำเป็นไม่ได้หมายความว่าจัดหนัก เพราะสิ่งที่เราต้องพึงสังวรคือ สัดส่วนที่สมดุลระหว่าง โอเมก้า3และโอเมก้า6 ดังนั้น 40:1 ไม่เรียกว่าสมดุล ซึ่งจะกระตุ้นการอักเสบเรื้อรัง ในร่างกาย และเกี่ยวข้องกับโรคหัวใจ เบาหวาน และปัญหาสุขภาพอื่นๆ พาเหรดกันมา แต่คุณจะไม่เห็นตัวเลขนี้บนฉลากครับ ผู้ผลิตผิดไหม? จะไปผิดอะไรครับ หน่วยบริโภคแนะนำเขา 1 หน่วยบริโภคคือ 15 มิลลิลิตร หรือ 1 ช้อนโต๊ะ แค่นั้นเอง คำถามคือ มีใครใช้ตามนั้นบ้าง คุณเจียวไข่เจียวใช้เท่าไร ผัดข้าวผัดใช้เท่าไหร่ อ่ะ ผัดผักรวมมิตรก็ได้ เอาแบบเต็มเปี่ยมเลย รู้ไหมว่ามีหลายคนเอาไปทำน้ำสลัด OMG ผมถึงบอกอยู่ครับว่า คุณอย่าไปว่าผู้ผลิตเลย เขาปกป้องตัวเองไว้เรียบร้อยทุกมุมอยู่แล้วครับ ถ้าเรายังไม่อ่านฉลาก ซื้อเครื่องไฟฟ้าไม่เคยดูคู่มือ เซนต์สัญญาแบบไม่อ่านก่อน คุณจะว่าใครจริงไหมครับ ที่น่าสนใจกว่านั้นคือเราเข้าใจกันแล้วใช่ไหมว่า oryzanol ไม่ได้มาจากการกินรำข้าวตรง ๆ แต่ต้องผ่านกระบวนการสกัดที่ซับซ้อนเพื่อได้น้ำมันมาใช้ และวิธีที่อุตสาหกรรมใช้มากที่สุดก็คือ การสกัดด้วยเฮกเซน (Hexane Extraction) ซึ่งเป็นตัวทำละลายเคมีที่อาจมีสารตกค้างในผลิตภัณฑ์สุดท้าย ถึงแม้จะมีวิธีอื่นที่ปลอดภัยกว่า เช่น การสกัดด้วยเอทานอล (Ethanol Extraction), การสกัดด้วยเอนไซม์ (Enzyme-Assisted Extraction), หรือการสกัดด้วยคาร์บอนไดออกไซด์เหนือวิกฤต (Supercritical CO₂ Extraction) แต่ทั้งหมดนี้มีต้นทุนสูงกว่า ทำให้ไม่เป็นที่นิยมในอุตสาหกรรม นั่นหมายความว่า ถ้าผลิตภัณฑ์ที่คุณซื้อไม่ได้ระบุว่าใช้วิธีอื่น ส่วนใหญ่ก็คือเฮกเซนแน่นอน ข้อเสียของการบริโภค oryzanol มากเกินไปไม่ได้จบแค่การขัดขวางการดูดซึมวิตามิน เพราะการบริโภคในปริมาณสูงอาจส่งผลให้เกิด ความไม่สมดุลของฮอร์โมน เนื่องจาก oryzanol มีโครงสร้างคล้ายกับสเตอรอลในร่างกาย มันอาจไปรบกวนกระบวนการเผาผลาญของสเตอรอยด์ฮอร์โมน เช่น ฮอร์โมนเพศชาย (Testosterone) และฮอร์โมนความเครียด (Cortisol) ซึ่งในระยะยาวอาจส่งผลต่อระบบภูมิคุ้มกัน อารมณ์ และระดับพลังงานของร่างกาย ประเด็นที่สำคัญคือ ในเมื่อเรามีอาหารจากธรรมชาติที่ช่วยบำรุงหัวใจได้โดยไม่ต้องมีผลข้างเคียง เช่น ไขมันสัตว์ดี ๆ ที่มีวิตามิน A, D, E, K ครบถ้วน ทำไมต้องพึ่งพาสารสกัดจากอุตสาหกรรม ? สิ่งที่ดูเหมือนดีจากงานวิจัยในแล็บ อาจไม่ได้ดีในระยะยาวเมื่ออยู่ในร่างกายมนุษย์จริง ๆ ทีนี้เรามาดูจุดขายของ น้ำมันรำข้าวกัน - oryzanol เป็นสารธรรมชาติ ทนความร้อนสูง เอาไปใช้ทอดจะไม่เกิดการสลายตัว ทนความร้อนสูงนี่จริงเลยครับ โอริซานอลเป็นสารต้านอนุมูลอิสระในกลุ่ม Ferulic Acid Esters ซึ่งมีโครงสร้างเสถียรกว่าวิตามินอี (เทียบกับวิตามินอีเพราะ ต้านอนุมูลอิสระ และ การปกป้องไขมันจากการเกิดออกซิเดชัน ) มี จุดสลายตัวสูงกว่า 250°C ซึ่งทำให้ยังคงอยู่ได้ในอุณหภูมิที่ใช้ทอดอาหาร แล้วมันแปลว่าดีจริงไหม? ในขณะที่ น้ำมันรำข้าวมีโอเมก้า-6 สูงมาก (30-40%) ซึ่งไวต่อการเกิดออกซิเดชัน ถึงแม้โอริซานอลจะช่วยชะลอการเหม็นหืน แต่มันไม่ได้ช่วยลดการเกิด สารพิษจากไขมันไหม้ เช่น Aldehydes หรือ HNE (4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal) ที่มาจากโอเมก้า-6 หรือเปล่า??? มันคือการพูดให้เราไปโฟกัสจุดเดียวครับ "โอริซานอลทนร้อน ไม่ได้แปลว่า น้ำมันรำข้าวดีต่อสุขภาพ" เพราะโอเมก้า6 ที่ไวต่อการเกิดออกซิเดชัน รวมถึงวิตามินต่างๆ ก็ยังสูญสลายไปด้วยความร้อน นี่ยังไม่รวมถึงโทษของการกินโอริซานอลมากไปตามที่ให้ข้อมูลไว้ข้างบนด้วย นอกจากนี้ยังมีคนตั้งคำถามไว้มากมายว่า หากโอริซานอลมีผลชัดเจนต่อสุขภาพเช่นเดียวกับที่โฆษณา ทำไมจึงไม่ได้รับการพัฒนาเป็นยาอย่างจริงจัง? หรือคำตอบคือ งานวิจัยที่สนับสนุนโอริซานอลยังไม่เพียงพอ และในหลายกรณี ผลของมันอาจเกิดจาก Placebo Effect (ผลจากความเชื่อว่ามันได้ผล มากกว่าผลจริงๆ ของสารนั้น) ซึ่งเป็นลักษณะเดียวกับ "ยาหลอก" ที่ไม่ได้มีฤทธิ์ทางชีวเคมีที่ส่งผลชัดเจน - มีไลโนเลอิกสูง ใช่ครับไม่ผิดเลยในจุดนี้ ไลโนเลอิก (Linoleic acid) เป็น กรดไขมันไม่อิ่มตัวชนิดหลายพันธะ (Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid, PUFA) ที่สำคัญและจำเป็นสำหรับร่างกาย โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งในการช่วยบำรุงเซลล์และระบบต่างๆ ของร่างกาย ที่สำคัญคือ ไลโนเลอิกเป็นกรดไขมันในกลุ่ม โอเมก้า-6 เป็นสิ่งที่บอกกับเราชัดๆว่า โอเมก้า6 สูงนั่นเอง ถ้าจะดึงเฉพาะข้อดีมาคุยกันก็ไม่ผิดอะไรเลยครับ เพราะโอเมก้า6 สำคัญกับร่างกายจริงๆ แต่ แต่ แต่ การรับโอเมก้า-6 ในปริมาณสูงเกินไปอาจทำให้เกิดการอักเสบในร่างกาย ซึ่งเกี่ยวข้องกับโรคต่างๆ เช่น โรคหัวใจ โรคมะเร็ง และโรคเบาหวาน อย่างที่เรารู้กัน ดังนั้นที่บอกไว้ข้างบนครับ สัดส่วนโอเมก้า 6:3 คือ 40:1 หรือใน 1 ช้อนโต๊ะ มีโอเมก้า 6 สูงถึง ราวๆ 4,140 - 5,520 มก. เรียกว่าโฆษณาไม่ผิดเลยเรื่องปริมาณ แต่จริงๆแล้วเราควรรักษาสมดุล โอเมก้า 6:3 ให้ใกล้เคียง 1:1 มากที่สุดเท่าที่ทำได้ เราก็อาจต้องตั้งคำถามอีกทีว่า การมีไลโนเลอิกสูง มันดีจริงไหม - โทโคฟีรอล (Tocopherols) เป็นสารประกอบที่อยู่ในกลุ่ม วิตามินอี เป็นสารต้านอนุมูลอิสระในร่างกาย โดยช่วยปกป้องเซลล์จากความเสียหายจากอนุมูลอิสระและช่วยชะลอการเสื่อมของเซลล์ ถูกต้องตามโฆษณา จริงๆหน้าที่หลักคือปกป้องไขมันไม่ให้เกิดการออกซิเดชัน ซึ่งสามารถช่วยยืดอายุการใช้งานของน้ำมัน หรือไม่ให้เกิดการหืน นั่นเอง แต่การทอดหรือปรุงอาหารในอุณหภูมิสูงเกินไป ก็อาจทำให้น้ำมันเกิดการออกซิเดชันและเกิดสารพิษที่เป็นอันตรายต่อร่างกายได้ อย่าลืมนะครับว่าคำแนะนำในการใช้น้ำมันรำข้าว กลับชูการเหมาะกับอาหารทอดอุณหภูมิสูง - โทโคไทรอีนอล (Tocotrienols) เป็นส่วนหนึ่งของกลุ่ม วิตามินอี เช่นกัน การบริโภคมากเกินไป การรับประทาน โทโคไทรอีนอลในปริมาณมาก อาจมีผลข้างเคียงที่ไม่พึงประสงค์ เช่น ส่งผลกระทบต่อการดูดซึมวิตามินอื่นๆ ในร่างกายโดยเฉพาะวิตามิน K ซึ่งอาจทำให้เกิดปัญหาการแข็งตัวของเลือด, ทำให้ตับทำงานหนักขึ้นในการจัดการกับสารนี้ ซึ่งอาจส่งผลเสียต่อการทำงานของตับระยะยาว สุดท้ายแล้ว เราต้องกลับมาตั้งคำถามว่า เราอยากให้สุขภาพของเราถูกกำหนดโดยการตลาดของอุตสาหกรรม หรือโดยสิ่งที่ธรรมชาติออกแบบมาให้เราตั้งแต่แรก ? ถ้าจะดูแลหัวใจจริง ๆ การกินอาหารที่มนุษย์วิวัฒนาการมากับมันมาตลอด เช่น เนื้อสัตว์ ไข่ ตับ และไขมันดี ๆ อาจเป็นคำตอบที่เรียบง่ายและมีเหตุผลมากกว่าการไล่ตามสารสกัดที่อุตสาหกรรมบอกว่าจำเป็น แต่ธรรมชาติอาจไม่เคยเห็นว่ามันสำคัญเลยก็ได้ #pirateketo #ฉลาก3รู้ #กูต้องรู้มั๊ย #ม้วนหางสิลูก

What is knowledge? Why do we need it? Since we were small, our parents/guardian put us in school, worked their asses off to give us elective lessons, some get help until college, some even after college and after professional work. Why is this intelligence thing so sought after? When you were born, you mostly just accepted what your parents said, they say go to school - you go to school, they say go learn the piano - you learn the piano. Of course with a lot of questions and denials, but you do it because you know your parents are doing it for your own good. You can feel the love so you disregard the 'why' and go on with faith Everything starts with why, and for most people maybe the purpose of knowledge is to be smarter, to know more, just because. But for me this sounds utterly useless. One day I will die next to a man with half a brain and we would feel the same exact thing on the ground. Literally being smarter at the end does not matter at all However, I am not saying to just be lazy and foolish. For me the purpose of knowledge is action. The more you learn, the more you know what to do, the more you can be sure you are doing the right thing, the more you can make progress on your own being, etc etc Now, how can you properly learn? Imagine a water bottle. The water bottle's sole purpose is to contain water, but you cannot fill in the water bottle before you open the cap. To learn properly, make sure you open the cap and let all that water pour into you If you are reading this, you are alive. Don't waste your time doing useless stuff and start to make a difference in your life Seize the day

## Blossom Uploader for Nostr In my mini project to publish from Joplin to Nostr, I wanted to move to publishing images in a Joplin note to some internet file hosting. So the obvious is something like imgur or imgbb and these require account creation and use of an API key. The nostr way of doing things is to use blossom and your nsec is the authentication, noice! So I noticed that nostr.build now has a service at https://blossom.band/ It seems to be a very nice service with: > Backed by the time-proven and highly available infrastructure of Nostr.build, > with global reach and a fast CDN network. > Every distinct user's npub gets their own server domain that is not shared by anyone but the > owner of that npub. They also have a free tier which is good for experimentation, their paid plans are at https://nostr.build/plans/ . I'm still yet to figure out of they are a candidate for self-hosting or just for media. That's another research project. Anywayzzz this here article is my test to publish from Joplin for long form posts. When I was doing wordpress posts, I preferred to write up in Joplin with all its note-taking nice-ness, search, tagging, plugins. I've tried [Habla](https://habla.news/) and [YakiHonne](https://www.yakihonne.com/) but I miss my Joplin workflow and tools. So, I've written this in Joplin and using my plugin to test for the article be uploaded as long form (NIP-23) post. Still trying to figure out how to get the markdown transferring across cleanly. Sorry, this is a test. *** --- ________ I made a test project to understand Blossom https://github.com/djinoz/blossom_uploader 🙉 Take #2: Explicity set kind:30023 ## Blossom Uploader for Nostr A Node.js command-line tool to upload images and media files to various services compatible with Nostr notes, with full support for the Blossom protocol. ## Installation ``` npm install ``` ## Usage ``` node blossom_uploader.js [options] <files...> ``` ### Options - `-s, --service <service>`: Upload service to use (default: "imgbb") - `-k, --key <key>`: API key for the service (if required) - `-u, --url <url>`: Custom URL for the service (required for blossom) - `-n, --nsec <nsec>`: Nostr private key (nsec) for blossom authentication - `-d, --debug`: Show debug information - `-o, --output <format>`: Output format: json or url (default: "url") - `-h, --help`: Display help - `-V, --version`: Output the version number ### Examples Upload a single image using ImgBB (default): ``` node blossom_uploader.js path/to/image.jpg ``` Upload using Imgur: ``` node blossom_uploader.js -s imgur image1.png ``` Use your own ImgBB API key: ``` node blossom_uploader.js -s imgbb -k YOUR_API_KEY image.png ``` Upload to a Blossom server using your nsec private key: ``` node blossom_uploader.js -s blossom -u https://blossom.band/upload -n nsec1... image.png ``` Get JSON output: ``` node blossom_uploader.js -o json image.jpg ```

Brewing Biology Episode 1068 of Bitcoin And . . . is LIVE! This episode of Bitcoin And dives into Brewing Biology—a regenerative system combining compost tea, biochar, Bitcoin mining, and carbon credits—developed through a deep, idea-driven conversation with ChatGPT. LISTEN HERE --> https://fountain.fm/episode/p0DmvPzxirDHh2l68zOX <-- LISTEN HERE The future of Bitcoin isn’t just about code or money—it’s about soil. A groundbreaking fusion of biology, technology, and financial innovation might change the rules of agriculture, offering landowners a path to profitability while Healing our soils. At the heart of this revolution is biochar, a form of charcoal that supercharges soil health. When mixed with compost tea and microbial inoculants, this carbon-rich material becomes a game-changer. Biochar’s porous structure acts as a microbial hotel, hosting fungi like arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis. These organisms form symbiotic networks that boost nutrient absorption and secrete glomalin—a natural “glue” that binds soil, preventing erosion. But here’s the twist: this system doesn’t just heal the earth; it also generates revenue. Biochar’s Hidden Superpower: Adsorption & Buffering Biochar’s porous structure acts as a molecular storage hub. Unlike absorption (soaking up water like a sponge), adsorption is a chemical process where water and nutrients cling to biochar’s surfaces. A single gram of biochar has the surface area of a basketball court, creating a lattice of microscopic nooks and crannies. This allows it to: Lock in moisture: Biochar retains up to 10x its weight in water, acting like a “soil battery” that releases hydration slowly during droughts. Hoard nutrients: It buffers nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients in its pores, preventing leaching. Plants access these nutrients gradually, reducing fertilizer needs. Stabilize pH: Biochar’s alkaline nature buffers acidic soils, creating a neutral environment where microbes and roots thrive. This buffering effect means plants face fewer nutrient and water spikes or shortages, ensuring steady growth even in erratic climates. The Carbon Math Every ton of biochar (which is ~85% carbon by weight) sequesters 3.12 tons of CO₂ (using the 1:3.67 carbon-to-CO₂ ratio). With carbon credits trading at $42–$60/ton, a 1,000-acre project applying 1 pound of biochar per linear foot (via a three-shank plow at 2-foot spacing) could sequester ~12,000 tons of CO₂ annually—generating $504,000–$720,000 in carbon credit revenue. Tools for the Revolution The Keyline Plow fractures subsoil to inject biochar slurry 30–45cm deep, revitalizing compacted land. For smaller plots, the VOGT Geo Injector delivers pinpoint inoculations—think of it as a soil “injection gun” for lawns, golf courses, or urban gardens. These methods ensure biochar stays where it’s needed, turning even parched landscapes into carbon sinks. Bitcoin’s Role in the Loop Biochar production generates syngas—a byproduct that fuels electric generators for Bitcoin mining. This closed-loop system turns agricultural waste into energy, creating dual revenue streams: carbon credits and mining income. The Market Potential Farmers, ranchers, and eco-conscious landowners aren’t the only beneficiaries. Golf courses can slash water use and homeowners can boost lawn resilience. Why This Matters This isn’t just farming—it’s a movement. By marrying soil science with economics, we can prove that healing the planet and profiting go hand in hand. Whether you’re a Bitcoin miner, a farmer, or an eco-entrepreneur, this system offers a blueprint for a future where every acre works for you—and the planet. The takeaway? Regenerative agriculture isn’t a trend. It’s the next gold rush—except this time, the gold is carbon, soil, and sats.--- P.S. – If you’re ready to turn your land into a carbon credit powerhouse (and maybe mine some Bitcoin along the way), the soil is waiting.

More than just “follows follows” on Nostr, webs of trust algos will ingest increasingly MORE kinds of user generated content in order to map our interactions across the network. Webs of trust will power user discovery, content search, reviews and reccomendations, identity verification, and access to all corners of the Nostr network. Without relying on a central “trust authority” to recommend people and content for us, sovereign Nostr users will make use of “relative trust” scores generated by a wide range of independent apps and services. The problem is, Nostr doesn’t have an opensource library for performing WoT calculations and delivering NIP standard recommendations to users. In order for a “free market” ecosystem of really smart apps and services to thrive, independent developers will need access to extensible “middleware” such as this. ### Project Description I am building a library for independent developers to offer their own interoperable and configurable WoT services and clients. In addition, and as the primary use case, I am also developing a web client for “in person onboarding” to Nostr, which will make use of this library to provide webs of trust recommendations for “invited” users. - [Meet Me On Nostr](https://nostrmeet.me) (onboarding client) : This is my first project on Nostr, which began a year ago with seed funding from @druid. This web client will leverage “in person” QR invites to generate WoT powered recommendations of follows, apps, and other stuff for new users at their first Nostr touchpoint. The functional MVP release (April ‘25) allows for “instant, anonymous, and fully encrypted” direct messaging and “move in ready” profile creation from a single QR scan. - [GrapeRank Engine ](https://github.com/Pretty-Good-Freedom-Tech/graperank-nodejs)(developer library) : Working with @straycat last fall, I built an opensource and extensible library for Nostr developers to integrate “web of trust” powered reccomendations into their products and services. The real power behind GrapeRank is its “pluggable” interpreter, allowing any kind of content (not just “follows follows”) to be ingested for WoT scoring, and configurable easily by developers as well as end users. This library is currently in v0.1, “generating and storing usable scores”, and doesn’t yet produce NIP standard outputs for Nostr clients. - [My Grapevine](https://grapevine.my) (algo dashboard) : In addition, I’ve just wrapped up the demo release of a web client by which users and developers can explore the power of the GrapeRank Engine. ### Potential Impact Webs of Trust is how Nostr scales. But so far, Nostr implementations have been ad-hoc and primarily client centered, with no consistency and little choice for end users. The “onboarding and discovery” tools I am developing promise to : - Establish sovereignty for webs of trust users (supporting a “free market” of algo choices), with opensource libraries by which any developer can easily implement WoT powered recommendations. - Accelerate the isolation of bots and bad actors (and improve the “trustiness” of Nostr for everyone else) by streamlining the onboarding of “real world” acquaintances directly into established webs of trust. - Improve “discoverability of users and content” for any user on any client (to consume and take advantage of WoT powered recommendations for any use case, even as the NIP standards for this are still in flux), by providing an algo engine with “pluggable” inputs and outputs. - Pave the way for “global Nostr adoption”, where WoT powered recommendations (and searches) are consistently available for every user across a wide variety of clients. ### Timeline & Milestones 2025 roadmap for “Webs of Trust Onboarding and Discovery” : - [Meet Me On Nostr](https://nostrmeet.me) (onboarding client) : MVP release : “scan my QR invite to private message me instantly with a ‘move in ready’ account on Nostr”. https://nostrmeet.me/ - [GrapeRank Engine ](https://github.com/Pretty-Good-Freedom-Tech/graperank-nodejs) (developer library) : 1.0 release : “expanded inputs and output WoT scores to Nostr NIPs and other stuff” for consumption by clients and relays. https://github.com/Pretty-Good-Freedom-Tech/graperank-nodejs - [My Grapevine](https://grapevine.my) (algo dashboard) : 1.0 release : “algo usage and configuration webapp with API endpoints” for end users to setup GrapeRank scoring for consumption by their own clients and relays. https://grapevine.my/ - [Meet Me On Nostr](https://nostrmeet.me) (onboarding client) : 1.0 release : first GrapeRank integration, offering “follow and app recommendations for invited users”, customizable per-invite for Nostr advocates. https://nostrmeet.me/ ### Prior contributions - Last spring I hosted panel discussions and [wrote articles on Nostr](https://primal.net/p/npub1manlnflyzyjhgh970t8mmngrdytcp3jrmaa66u846ggg7t20cgqqvyn9tn#reads) exploring how to build “sovereign webs of trust”, where end users can have control over which algorithms to use, and what defines “trust”. - I contributed [gift wrap encryption](https://github.com/nostr-dev-kit/ndk/commit/82b60c3b6ae2f38bde0e542d31bfa10d58d08116) to NDK. - I am also authoring [gift wrapped direct messaging and chat room](https://github.com/nostr-dev-kit/ndk/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Amanimejia) modules for NDK. - Last July, I attended The Bitcoin Conference on an OpenSource pass to raise funds for my onboarding client. I onboarded many Bitcoiners to Nostr, and made valuable connections at Bitcoin Park. ### About Me I discovered Nostr in September ‘23 as a freelance web developer, after years of looking for a “sovereignty respecting” social media on which to build apps. With this came my first purchase of Bitcoin. By December of that year, I was settled on “open source freedom tech” (Nostr and Bitcoin) as the new direction for my career. As a web professional for 20+ years, I know the importance of “proof of work” and being connected. For the last 18 months, I have been establishing myself as a builder in this community. This pivot has not been easy, but it has been rewarding and necessary. After so many years building private tech for other people, I finally have a chance to build freedom tech for everyone. I have finally come home to my peeps and my purpose. Thank you for considering this application for funding.

ไฟโตสเตอรอล (Phytosterols) เป็นสารประกอบที่พบในพืชและมีโครงสร้างคล้ายคลึงกับคลอเลสเตอรอล (Cholesterol) ของมนุษย์ แต่ไฟโตสเตอรอลไม่ได้ทำหน้าที่เหมือนคลอเลสเตอรอลในร่างกายครับ ไฟโตสเตอรอลมีบทบาทสำคัญในการลดการดูดซึมคลอเลสเตอรอลจากอาหารในระบบทางเดินอาหาร ทำให้ไฟโตสเตอรอลได้รับการส่งเสริมว่าเป็นสารที่ช่วยลดระดับคลอเลสเตอรอลในเลือดไปโดยปริยาย อย่างไรก็ตาม สิ่งที่หลายคนไม่ได้ตั้งข้อสงสัยคือวิธีการโฆษณาและการตลาดนั้นจะแฝงไปด้วยข้อมูลที่บิดเบือนเกี่ยวกับไฟโตสเตอรอลซึ่งอาจนำไปสู่การเสพสารนี้ในปริมาณมากเกินไปจนทำให้เกิดปัญหาสุขภาพหรือเปล่า? เราลองมาค่อยๆตั้งคำถามกันครับ ไฟโตสเตอรอลในธรรมชาติจะพบในปริมาณที่ค่อนข้างน้อยในพืชต่าง ๆ เช่น ธัญพืช ถั่ว เมล็ดพืช อย่างไรก็ตาม ปริมาณไฟโตสเตอรอลในธรรมชาติเป็นเม็ดเป็นผลจะอยู่ในระดับต่ำมาก เช่น ในเมล็ดแฟลกซีด (flaxseed) จะมีไฟโตสเตอรอลอยู่ประมาณ 1,000–2,000 ppm (parts per million) ขณะที่น้ำมันรำข้าวที่มักถูกโฆษณาว่ามีไฟโตสเตอรอลสูงถึงหลักหมื่น ๆ ppm เช่น 12,000 ppm หรือบางยี่ห้ออาจสูงกว่านั้น ซึ่งไม่ใช่แค่สูงจนน่าสรรเสริญ แต่ยังเป็นการขยายความสำคัญของไฟโตสเตอรอลในทางที่ตอบสนองต่อการตลาดได้ในวงกว้างเสียด้วย กระบวนการผลิตน้ำมันรำข้าวนั้นเริ่มต้นจากการสกัดน้ำมันจากรำข้าว โดยมีการใช้เทคนิคการกลั่นน้ำมันที่สามารถช่วยให้ได้น้ำมันที่มีคุณภาพสูง น้ำมันรำข้าวเป็นน้ำมันที่มีไฟโตสเตอรอลสูงเพราะรำข้าว (bran) ซึ่งเป็นเปลือกที่หุ้มเมล็ดข้าวนั้น มีไฟโตสเตอรอลอยู่ในปริมาณสูงตามธรรมชาติอยุ่แล้ว ในกระบวนการสกัดน้ำมันนั้น ตัวไฟโตสเตอรอลจะถูกรักษาไว้ โดยไม่ต้องเติมเข้าไปใหม่ ดังนั้น เมื่อโฆษณาน้ำมันรำข้าวว่า "มีไฟโตสเตอรอลสูงถึง 12,000 ppm" สิ่งนี้ไม่ได้หมายความว่าเป็นการเติมสารเพิ่มเข้ามาหรอกครับ แต่เป็นการยืนยันถึงความ "เข้มข้น" ของไฟโตสเตอรอลที่มีอยู่ในน้ำมันรำข้าวตามธรรมชาตินั่นละครับว่ามันกลั่นมาเข้มข้นขนาดไหน มากกว่าการกินจากธรรมชาติขนาดไหนเพื่อให้เรากินกันนั่นเอง ถึงแม้ว่าไฟโตสเตอรอลจะถูกส่งเสริมให้เป็นสารที่ช่วยลดระดับคลอเลสเตอรอลในเลือด แต่การโฆษณาและการตลาดเกี่ยวกับไฟโตสเตอรอลนั้นอาจทำให้คนเข้าใจผิดว่า ผลิตภัณฑ์ที่มีไฟโตสเตอรอลสูง จะช่วยทำให้สุขภาพดีขึ้นและลดความเสี่ยงจากโรคหัวใจและหลอดเลือด เพราะซึ่งสิ่งนี้ยังไม่ได้รับการสนับสนุนอย่างชัดเจนจากงานวิจัยที่สามารถยืนยันได้ในระยะยาว นอกจากนี้ยังมีผลการศึกษาบางชิ้นเช่นกันที่พบว่า การบริโภคไฟโตสเตอรอลในปริมาณสูงอาจ "ไม่ได้มีผล" ในการลดระดับคลอเลสเตอรอลที่น่ามหัศจรรย์หรือช่วยลดการเสี่ยงต่อโรคหัวใจได้ตามที่โฆษณาเอามาขยายความกัน ซึ่งแน่นอนหละครับว่า ถ้าจะทำสงครามวิจัย มันย่อมไม่จบสิ้นเพราะทุกฝ่ายมีการวิจัยสนับสนุนในแบบ peer review ทั้งนั้น ไม่ต้องไปเป็น member อะไรที่ไหน (ถ้าเราไม่คิดจะอ่านมันเอง) ไฟโตสเตอรอลมีหลายประเภทที่พบในพืชและน้ำมันพืชแต่ละชนิด โดยแต่ละชนิดจะมีคุณสมบัติและผลกระทบต่อร่างกายที่แตกต่างกัน ซึ่งสามารถแบ่งออกเป็นหลายประเภทหลักที่พบได้บ่อยในธรรมชาติ แต่ละประเภทก็มีข้อดีและข้อเสียที่ควรพิจารณาก่อนการบริโภคตามประเภทมันไปครับ -บีตาสติโรล (Beta-Sitosterol) เป็นไฟโตสเตอรอลที่พบมากในพืชหลายชนิด โดยเฉพาะในเมล็ดพืช ถั่ว และน้ำมันพืช บีตาสติโรลได้รับความนิยมในวงการสุขภาพเนื่องจากการศึกษาบางชิ้นพบว่ามันสามารถช่วยลดระดับคอเลสเตอรอลในเลือดได้ โดยการลดการดูดซึมคอเลสเตอรอลจากอาหารในระบบย่อยอาหาร แต่การบริโภคบีตาสติโรลในปริมาณสูงอาจส่งผลต่อการดูดซึมวิตามินที่ละลายในไขมัน เช่น วิตามิน A, D, E และ K ซึ่งอาจทำให้เกิดการขาดวิตามินเหล่านี้ในระยะยาวได้ นอกจากนี้ การบริโภคบีตาสติโรลในปริมาณที่มากเกินไปอาจส่งผลให้เกิดปัญหาด้านระบบฮอร์โมน โดยเฉพาะในผู้ที่มีปัญหาฮอร์โมนเพศหรือระบบสืบพันธุ์ -แคมป์สเตอรอล (Campesterol) เป็นอีกหนึ่งไฟโตสเตอรอลที่พบในพืชหลายชนิด โดยเฉพาะในน้ำมันพืชและผักผลไม้ แคมป์สเตอรอลมีโครงสร้างที่คล้ายกับคอเลสเตอรอลในร่างกาย และมันได้รับการศึกษาว่ามีคุณสมบัติช่วยลดระดับคอเลสเตอรอลในเลือดได้เช่นกัน อย่างไรก็ตาม การบริโภคแคมป์สเตอรอลมากเกินไปอาจทำให้เกิดผลกระทบต่อการดูดซึมสารอาหารบางประเภท เช่น วิตามินที่ละลายในไขมัน โดยเฉพาะในผู้ที่มีปัญหาทางเดินอาหาร หรือผู้ที่มีปัญหาการดูดซึมสารอาหาร อาจทำให้เกิดภาวะขาดสารอาหารหรือการดูดซึมสารอาหารไม่เต็มที่ได้ นอกจากนี้ การบริโภคแคมป์สเตอรอลในปริมาณสูงอาจส่งผลกระทบต่อการทำงานของฮอร์โมนเพศ เช่น การเปลี่ยนแปลงของฮอร์โมนในร่างกาย ซึ่งอาจเกิดผลเสียต่อสุขภาพในระยะยาว -สแตกิโอรอล (Stigmasterol) เป็นไฟโตสเตอรอลชนิดหนึ่งที่พบมากในพืชบางชนิด เช่น ถั่วเหลือง และน้ำมันถั่วเหลือง สแตกิโอรอลได้รับการศึกษาในแง่ของการลดการอักเสบและการช่วยบำรุงสุขภาพหัวใจและหลอดเลือด แต่การบริโภคสแตกิโอรอลในปริมาณสูงอาจมีผลเสียต่อการทำงานของฮอร์โมนเพศได้เช่นกัน โดยเฉพาะในผู้ที่มีปัญหาฮอร์โมนไม่สมดุลหรือมีปัญหาเกี่ยวกับระบบสืบพันธุ์ การบริโภคไฟโตสเตอรอลชนิดนี้มากเกินไปอาจทำให้เกิดผลกระทบต่อการทำงานของระบบฮอร์โมนในร่างกาย ซึ่งอาจส่งผลให้เกิดอาการผิดปกติในระยะยาว รวมทั้งความเสี่ยงต่อการมีบุตรหรือสุขภาพที่ไม่ดีเกี่ยวกับระบบฮอร์โมน ไฟโตสเตอรอลประเภทอื่น ๆ ที่พบในพืชและน้ำมันพืช ได้แก่ อะฟิตเตอร์ออล (Afitosterol) และซิตรัสเตอรอล (Citrusterol) ซึ่งมักพบในน้ำมันจากพืชต่าง ๆ เช่น น้ำมันเมล็ดองุ่น น้ำมันดอกทานตะวัน การบริโภคไฟโตสเตอรอลเหล่านี้ในปริมาณที่สูงเกินไปอาจทำให้เกิดปัญหาด้านระบบย่อยอาหาร หรือปัญหาการดูดซึมสารอาหารที่จำเป็นจากอาหารได้ นอกจากนี้ การบริโภคไฟโตสเตอรอลประเภทอื่น ๆ ในปริมาณสูงยังอาจส่งผลกระทบต่อระบบฮอร์โมนและการทำงานของร่างกายในระยะยาว เช่น การทำงานของระบบภูมิคุ้มกัน หรือการทำงานของตับ ที่อาจได้รับผลกระทบจากการบริโภคในปริมาณสูง ดังนั้น ควรระมัดระวังในการบริโภคไฟโตสเตอรอลจากแหล่งต่าง ๆ อย่างรอบคอบ เพื่อหลีกเลี่ยงผลเสียที่อาจเกิดขึ้นกับร่างกายในระยะยาว สิ่งที่จริงแล้วอาจเป็นอันตรายมากกว่า คือ การที่ผู้บริโภคตัดสินใจบริโภคผลิตภัณฑ์ที่มีไฟโตสเตอรอลสูงในปริมาณมากเกินไป โดยไม่คำนึงถึงผลกระทบต่อร่างกายในระยะยาว อาจมีผลกระทบต่อการดูดซึมสารอาหารที่จำเป็น เช่น วิตามิน A, D, E, K ซึ่งเป็นวิตามินที่ละลายในไขมัน การดูดซึมของวิตามินเหล่านี้อาจถูกยับยั้งไป เนื่องจากไฟโตสเตอรอลสามารถแข่งขันกับคลอเลสเตอรอลในร่างกายในการดูดซึมสารอาหารเหล่านี้ นอกจากนี้ยังมีข้อกังวลเกี่ยวกับผลกระทบที่อาจเกิดขึ้นจากการบริโภคไฟโตสเตอรอลในปริมาณสูงที่อาจไปเพิ่มความเสี่ยงของการเกิดโรคบางอย่าง เช่น โรคมะเร็งต่อมลูกหมาก ผลเสียจากการบริโภคไฟโตสเตอรอลมากเกินไปไม่ได้จำกัดเพียงแค่การแย่งสารอาหาร แต่ยังมีการศึกษาที่แสดงให้เห็นว่า การบริโภคไฟโตสเตอรอลในปริมาณสูงอาจกระทบต่อการทำงานของระบบภูมิคุ้มกันของร่างกาย ในบางกรณีไฟโตสเตอรอลอาจเข้าไปแทรกแซงกระบวนการทางชีวเคมีที่สำคัญ และอาจทำให้ร่างกายเกิดความผิดปกติในการตอบสนองต่อสารแปลกปลอมที่มีอยู่ในสิ่งแวดล้อม ข้อโต้แย้งที่สำคัญคือลักษณะการโฆษณาของน้ำมันรำข้าวและผลิตภัณฑ์ที่มีไฟโตสเตอรอลสูงนั้น ไม่ได้สะท้อนความจริงในสิ่งที่เป็นประโยชน์ต่อสุขภาพจริง ๆ การใช้ไฟโตสเตอรอลในผลิตภัณฑ์ต่าง ๆ โดยเน้นที่ปริมาณที่สูงเกินจริงนั้น เป็นวิธีการตลาดที่ใช้บอกเป็นนัยกับผู้บริโภคให้เข้าใจว่าการบริโภคสารเหล่านี้จะช่วยลดระดับคลอเลสเตอรอลและช่วยให้สุขภาพหัวใจดีขึ้น ทั้งที่ในความเป็นจริง ไฟโตสเตอรอลไม่ได้ช่วยแก้ปัญหาสุขภาพพื้นฐานอย่างการอักเสบที่เป็นสาเหตุหลักของโรคหัวใจและหลอดเลือด แต่ทั้งนี้ทั้งนั้น การโฆษณาดังกล่าวก็อยู่ภายใต้กฎเกณฑ์ของประกาศและกฎหมายต่างๆอยู่ดี ผู้บริโภคจึงควรหาความรู้สนับสนุนการเลือกด้วยตัวเอง ว่าจะตัดสินใจอย่างไร การที่ไฟโตสเตอรอลมีโครงสร้างที่คล้ายกับคอเลสเตอรอลในร่างกาย ทำให้มันสามารถแทรกซึมเข้าไปในเซลล์ได้คล้ายคลึงกับคอเลสเตอรอล แต่แตกต่างกันตรงที่ไฟโตสเตอรอลไม่สามารถทำหน้าที่ในการสร้างฮอร์โมนต่าง ๆ หรือทำหน้าที่ในระบบร่างกายได้เหมือนคอเลสเตอรอล การที่ไฟโตสเตอรอลแทรกซึมเข้าไปในเซลล์จึงเป็นแค่การสามารถช่วยป้องกันการดูดซึมคอเลสเตอรอลจากอาหารในระบบย่อยอาหารได้ ซึ่งจะทำให้นี่เป็นสาเหตุของการทำให้ ระดับคอเลสเตอรอลในเลือดลดลงได้ พูดง่ายๆคือมันไปแซงคลอเลสเตอรอล อะครับ นอกจากนี้ ไฟโตสเตอรอลยังสามารถไปแข่งขันกับคอเลสเตอรอลในการเข้าเซลล์ผ่านตัวรับ LDL (low-density lipoprotein receptor) ซึ่งเป็นตัวรับที่ช่วยดูดซึมคอเลสเตอรอลเข้าสู่เซลล์ ดังนั้น เมื่อไฟโตสเตอรอลแทรกซึมเข้ามามากขึ้น ก็จะช่วยลดการดูดซึมคอเลสเตอรอล ที่มาจากอาหารลงไปได้ ทำให้ระดับคอเลสเตอรอลในเลือดลดลง โดยการลดการดูดซึมคอเลสเตอรอลจากทางเดินอาหารเข้าสู่กระแสเลือด แต่ไฟโตสเตอรอลไม่ได้มีผลโดยตรงในการลดคอเลสเตอรอลที่เซลล์ในร่างกายสร้างขึ้นเอง (endogenous cholesterol) เพราะไฟโตสเตอรอลไม่ได้เข้าไปแทรกซึมและทำงานที่จุดที่เซลล์ผลิตคอเลสเตอรอลในร่างกาย ร่างกายสามารถผลิตคอเลสเตอรอลได้เอง ซึ่งเป็นกระบวนการที่ไฟโตสเตอรอลไม่สามารถไปขัดขวางหรือยับยั้งได้ นั่นหมายความว่า หากร่างกายผลิตคอเลสเตอรอลในระดับสูง ไฟโตสเตอรอลจะไม่สามารถลดระดับคอเลสเตอรอลที่มาจากการสร้างของร่างกายได้ ดังนั้น ไฟโตสเตอรอลมีประโยชน์ในการลดคอเลสเตอรอลจากอาหาร แต่ไม่ได้ช่วยในการลดคอเลสเตอรอลที่ร่างกายผลิตขึ้นเอง การโฆษณาไม่ได้ให้ข้อมูลในด้านที่ว่า ผลกระทบระยะยาวจากการบริโภคไฟโตสเตอรอลในปริมาณสูงอาจทำให้เกิดปัญหาสุขภาพอื่น ๆ โดยเฉพาะในด้านการดูดซึมสารอาหารหรือความสามารถในการทำงานของระบบภูมิคุ้มกัน ซึ่งเป็นสิ่งที่ควรคำนึงถึงในการตัดสินใจเลือกผลิตภัณฑ์ที่จะนำมาใช้ในชีวิตประจำวัน ในความเห็นของผมนั้น สิ่งที่ควรให้ความสำคัญมากกว่าคือการเลือกบริโภคอาหารที่เป็นธรรมชาติ และหลีกเลี่ยงการพึ่งพาผลิตภัณฑ์ที่มีการผ่านกระบวนการต่าง ๆ เช่น ไฟโตสเตอรอลเข้มข้น หรือสารเติมแต่งอื่น ๆ ที่ไม่จำเป็นต่อร่างกาย การเลือกรับประทานอาหารที่มีคุณค่าทางโภชนาการครบถ้วนจะช่วยส่งเสริมสุขภาพโดยรวมได้ดีกว่าแทนที่จะพึ่งพาสิ่งที่โฆษณาบอกไว้ข้างขวด ไฟโตสเตอรอลอาจมีคุณสมบัติในการลดการดูดซึมคลอเลสเตอรอลจากอาหารในทางทฤษฎี แต่การบริโภคในปริมาณมากเกินไปนั้นอาจส่งผลเสียต่อร่างกายในหลาย ๆ ด้าน ดังนั้นจึงควรหันมาใส่ใจในข้อมูลที่มีพื้นฐาน และตั้งคำถามกับสิ่งต่างๆ โดยเฉพาะอะไรที่การตลาดตะโกนดังๆว่า ไอ้นี่ดี อันโน้นเยี่ยมยอด อันนี้ที่สุดแห่งความซุปเปอร์ ต่อมเอ๊ะทำงานไว้ก่อน ผิดถูกไม่รู้หาข้อมูลมาโยงเส้นทางแล้วชวนคุยกัน เช่นเราตั้งคำถามตั้งต้นก่อนไหมว่า จริงๆแล้ว คลอลเสเตอรอล มันต้องกลัวขนาดนั้นเลยหรือ ในเมื่อมันเป็นสารตั้งต้นของชีวิต และเป็นสิ่งจำเป็นในการซ่อมแซมเสริมสร้างร่ายกาย เราต้องลดการดูดซึมด้วยเหรอ

The role and significance of music naturally varies from person to person. For some, it is counted among the most important things in life. For others, it may be a superfluous additive of limited value. Due to this difference in perception relating to music, it may be difficult for some individuals to recognize the benefits of compiling a personalized music playlist. However, the value of music as a therapeutic tool for people already suffering from advanced dementia has been repeatedly demonstrated, and sometimes with astounding, although temporary, results. The internet is full of studies and stories, and YouTube searches yield an abundance of video evidence ranging from clinical studies to anecdotal family recordings of elderly relatives. All of these data and anecdotes point to a compelling suggestion and an exciting conclusion: music appreciation has tremendous potential as a supplemental activity for mental health maintenance. With insights gained from the study of neuroplasticity, the neurological benefits for musicians and performers are easy to see, but less clear is the fact that mere exposure to music as a casual listener can be of profound psychological importance, even for individuals who don’t consider themselves to be music lovers. The transformative effect of music is on full display in many of the available videos on YouTube. We can simply search “dementia music,” or ‘Alzheimer’s music” for fast, relevant results. In video after video, we can see elderly subjects who may be slow to speak, detached, disoriented, barely-intelligible, or unresponsive. In care facilities and at gatherings with families, they are interviewed about their youth, and about their feelings related to music. Many of the videos first show footage of the individual’s normal daily cognitive state, and them listening and responding to the questions, followed by a period of music listening, and then another brief, post-music discussion. The transformation of mental states tends to be very clear when we compare the quality of their cognitive performance before and after the introduction of music. People remark that “a light has been turned back on,” or “his personality returned,” or “it’s as if the person has woken up from sleep.” Unfortunately, these positive responses are only temporary, and music does not have the power to permanently reverse the symptoms and pathology of advanced dementia and age-related cognitive decline. Also there is no guarantee it will work for every person, or to what degree. Nevertheless, it does not mean that music as therapy is completely without value. In fact, it can be quite the opposite. When the response is positive, the event can have multiple benefits, and may even be a therapeutic experience for certain listeners. Faces once despondent or vacant become animated and radiant. Long lost smiles return from faraway times and places. Memories and associations from previous ages shake loose and rise to the surface. Many listeners were asked to recount their experiences related to the songs and the time in life with which they were primarily associated. Some of them were able to describe events, places, people, emotions, and reactions with a degree of clarity, dexterity, and articulation that was completely inconsistent with their medical diagnosis and their cognitive performance prior to hearing the music. The song quite literally revives the personality that makes the person, temporarily and superficially reversing the undoing of the mind. For a mind that is coming undone, music as therapy has potential to mitigate suffering and confusion, provide moments of joy and enthusiasm, and ease the transition into and experience of the end-of-life period that awaits all who are fortunate enough to “die of natural causes” in old age. The benefits described above are specific to “treatment” recipients, but the merit of music as therapy cascades into the lives of everyone involved. Doctors and caretakers are uplifted and encouraged by success stories, which contributes to further proliferation and advancement of music as therapy. More critically, it can have a profound impact on families of dementia patients. In some cases, relatives get a chance to communicate with their loved ones again. Grandchildren have a window of opportunity to learn more, directly from their grandparents, about the youthful experiences and memories of past generations. It’s clear that generational bonds are also strengthened, which can positively impact the future prospects of the young generation as they in turn grow old, and lay new groundwork for generations that follow. It is unfortunate that some elderly individuals seem to derive less cognitive benefit than others from music therapy. It is not entirely certain why this is so, because there are many factors to consider, but two of the clearest factors are a person’s degree of cognitive decline, and their degree of interest in and enthusiasm for music in general. While these are the most popular metrics by which to judge the potential effectiveness and suitability of music as therapy for a given individual, by far the most important consideration is relevance to each particular person’s life experiences. This is the opportunity to finally state the obvious: It’s not possible to simply pick any song at random and expect it to have a beneficial effect on the cognitive function of every person who hears it. It’s not as if there’s a Britney Spears song that sparks joy in the heart of every soul on Earth. And the legend of Bill and Ted’s ultimate song that united the world could never be a true story (also because, as we finally learned in 2020, it was not two men and a song that united the world, but rather, the world uniting together to create that song.) However, everyone in the world can make their own playlist custom-tailored to their individual life, experiences, and memories, and some of those playlists might have a song or two by Britney Spears, or even some from one of the “Bill and Ted” soundtracks. Throughout my decades of music appreciation, an ever-growing level of respect for the enduring spirit of music has overwhelmed me, and it’s clear that no song will ever be loved by all. But every song will be loved by some, certainly at least by someone, or it would cease to exist. This is why a personalized playlist is infinitely more valuable than randomly selected songs, and we can see the truth of this claim upon close examination of recorded interviews with the elderly subjects. The songs that triggered the greatest reactions were songs that interviewees felt strong connections to, based primarily on the song’s associations to the time and place, as well as the emotional context imprinted on the memory of the events surrounding the songs. This simply means that songs for which we have emotional attachments and vivid memories are songs that invigorate our neural circuits, activating cognitive pathways and opening doors of memory similar to how olfactory sensations can trigger a memory or a sense of déjà vu. There are some exceptions, but a lot of these songs are from a person’s formative years, particularly early developmental years and their teenage period. This comes as no surprise to the discerning neuroplastician, because these are periods of life when neural plasticity is most fluid, neural development and refinement functions are most active and receptive, and the degree of exciting novelty in life tends to be highest when we are young and inexperienced. Novelty and emotion are critical components of memory formation and whether a given experience will be memorable or not. Something completely new (novelty) can be memorable if it commands your attention, or derails you from your usual pattern of behavior. Similarly, the content of a tedious lecture may be harder to recall without taking notes, while that of an exciting, fun, and funny, interactive lesson has a greater chance of being memorable, and recalled with more clarity and detail (emotion). When it comes to music, the connection to novelty and emotion is crystal clear. The first time you ever heard that song, it was new and your emotional response was strong. You might even remember the events of that first time you heard it, but not necessarily. Your emotional attachment to the song may have developed later on, when you heard it playing at a party, on one of the most memorable nights of your teenage life, for example. Perhaps it’s just a song (or songs) your parents played a lot when you were young, and it could be a song you yourself heard many times, and looking back realized it holds a special place in your heart, for whatever reason. There are also songs that are special to romantic couples (This song was playing when we…; This is our song; We were together the first time we heard this song; etc.) and these songs, for obvious reasons, can be added to a personalized music playlist at any time in life, as new and old songs take on added personal significance in various ways. There are a multitude of ways that novelty and emotion can combine to form experiences worth remembering, by which memories are made, and if these experiences are imprinted with a musical stamp, the song stamped onto the memory is likely to remain just as memorable as the event itself, and conversely, listening to the song has the potential to vivify the memories and feelings of nostalgia related to the song. Therefore, as a preventative measure we can implement now, and an insurance policy we may benefit from later, it is advisable that each person should endeavor to compile their own personal, individualized cognitive reserve playlist. When speaking to someone about this idea, they responded, “But what’s the hurry? After all, you’re still quite young.” Just then, it spontaneously occurred to me that a traumatic head injury could befall me the following day or any day hence, and the simple point that “it’s never too early” was well taken. To create your own cognitive reserve playlist, it is helpful to have a few guiding parameters. Most important of all is to keep an open mind without setting anything in stone. It’s not necessary to finalize the list immediately, if ever. This is a project that deserves your thoughtful consideration, so you deserve to be allowed to take your time. It’s better to get the list populated with your definite favorites, and as many others that come to mind, just to kick-start the process. Besides, due to the virtually infinite number of songs and compositions in existence, we will never be able to make the perfect list in one day, one month, or even one year. We can always revisit the list and make changes later, because our minds cannot retrieve all the data at once. We must go about our business of carrying on, and wait for it to come to us. (It’s guaranteed to be worth the wait, so never fret about it.) You may even find yourself removing one of those “definite favorites” from the list, which is welcome and fine, because it’s not merely a list of your favorite songs. Being a “favorite” is just one of multiple indicators that a song might be appropriate for a cognitive reserve playlist. “Memorable” is another key word. There are still other factors that determine a song’s suitability for a personal playlist, such as a song that isn’t a personal favorite, but which nevertheless evokes a strong emotional response in some other way. This is best described as nostalgia, and nostalgic emotions are powerful anchors for memories. So any song that arouses some sense of nostalgia also has the power to arouse the memory of events, places, times, and other details tied to that nostalgia. To know what songs are nostalgic for you and add them to your list today, may help you if a time should come that you need music as therapy in order to trigger your memory and cognitive function. It is because of nostalgia that many songs from our youth are good candidates for inclusion on the playlist. Songs that were popular on the radio or TV when we were children, theme songs from popular television programs that are unforgettable for us, and songs that acted as the soundtrack to our lives, so to speak, while growing into childhood, and then blossoming again from adolescence into adulthood. This period is rich with music of great significance to our personal center. It is my sincere hope that all people earnestly endeavor to compile their own personalized cognitive reserve playlists, and encourage their loved ones to do the same. Maybe it can help those who suffer to better cope with the condition. Perhaps starting this project now, and focusing on mental health now can be a significant contributing factor to developing robust cognitive reserve in the first place, thereby heading off the worst of what this condition can throw at us, and delaying it until later. And of course, not only should we create the lists, but it’s highly recommended that we also play the songs frequently, and dance to them as well, preferably. It is in the interest of your future health, ability, mobility, enjoyment, and ease of living that I offer this potentially beneficial suggestion, and I am grateful that you have taken the time to hear me out regarding my passion about the restorative and healing properties of music, as they relate to the broader topic of neuroplasticity. So on that note, shall we press play and dance?

\~ The person came up to me from behind his merchandise stand and saw my Noderunners pin on my black t-shirt, then looked me dead in the eye and asked : “So… what do you sell?” *This is the eighth long-read in a series of twelve “food for thought” writings on Bitcoin. It was originally meant to be a few chapters in a book, but life’s too short for that.* ## **Define** Let me start by saying there’s no single way to define or explain a “Bitcoin conference.” The experience can vary depending on a few factors: who’s organizing it (a long-time Bitcoiner or someone from traditional finance trying to grasp Bitcoin), where it’s being held (a sunny paradise like Madeira or a gloomy northern French town), and who’s speaking (technical experts or charismatic entertainers or people with little substance). Despite these differences, there’s a shared culture that ties these conferences together: a mix of excitement, frustrations, and inevitable evolution. That’s what I explore. This is just my take, based on what I’ve personally witnessed and what I hear from my surroundings. It’s not meant to be a blanket critique of all Bitcoin conferences as there are plenty I haven’t attended, though I hear about most of them. Even the good ones will evolve into something else over time. So, plan accordingly. A bit of background on my perspective: at some point in my life, I hit a bump in the road that kept me tied to where I live — a bleak corner of Belgium, surrounded by fiat slaves, shitcoiners, and people who spend six hours a day consuming brain-numbing garbage television. Traveling is an exception for me, but for many Bitcoin conference attendees, it’s a ritual, a must-do event. So, I view these events with a mix of fascination and grounded skepticism — something I’ve found lacking in many Bitcoiners. I’ve never been to a Bitcoin conference before 2023, despite receiving plenty of invites over the years. From what I heard and saw in photos from friends who attended (even the real early ones) these events seemed eerily similar to the dull hotel conference rooms I once endured in tech and telecom. I’ve had my fill of lukewarm, watery coffee and lifeless speakers droning on about firewalls. So I skipped that particular honor. Up until around 2018, Bitcoin conferences were a soulless sea of chairs lined up under fluorescent tube lights, draining the life out of attendees—one telecom acronym at a time. Not exactly inviting. Yet, looking back from the perspective of 2025, those were the “pure” days. Back then, people like Roger Ver (before he pivoted to Bitcoin Cash), Andreas Antonopoulos, and encryption specialists spoke to small audiences, explaining Bitcoin in its raw form. But, like any Bitcoiner, I try to improve myself. So, I made the effort to travel, visit other Bitcoiners, and attend Bitcoin conferences. The conferences I attended in 2023/2024 made me a bit wiser ; not necessarily from what was said on stage (with a few lucky exceptions who still try to bring original thoughts). Most of what I learned came from the long queues, the drama, and watching grifters operate in real time and the good characters floating around. So, here’s what I’ve learned. <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/d49fdda9ecb03f04f6c778e5301c67cf2bb15ff3b8647d929cb1755a9f6660a4.png"> **Chain of ticket** I quickly discovered that many Bitcoin conferences have their own “quest for tickets” dynamic, almost like an industry with its own inner circle. It’s a waterfall system: tickets start at lower prices to fill up the venue (usually right after the previous edition). That’s standard practice, both inside and outside of Bitcoin. But what’s strange is seeing organizations that only pop up when a conference needs promotion—somehow securing tickets for themselves and their friends (or for \*making\* friends) while shilling referral links for small discounts to their followers. The real free tickets, though, are a hot topic in many local communities and make all the difference for some attendees. What’s particularly interesting is that most ticket prices can be paid in Bitcoin, adding a layer of calculation to the process. If you paid 230500 sats for your ticket and later see the dollar price fluctuate, say from $180 to $270, or the other way around, by the time the conference starts, you realize you either bought too late or too early.\ It’s better to not have bought at all. Some ticket holders end up paying less (in dollar terms) than others, making it a gamble. As the event date approaches, ticket prices tend to rise—unless you wait until the last minute, when they haven’t sold out, or just pay at the door. It’s a strange feeling knowing that not everyone paid the same amount (and as mentioned, a significant number get in for free) depending on their timing. Many organizations and local community representatives show up primarily to be present; securing free tickets, which function more as a badge of recognition than a necessity.\ It’s similar to how a rock groupie sees backstage access: a status symbol, whether for an autograph or something more. Being seen standing next to big names is a huge deal for some, as they derive their own status from proximity.\ This also reinforces the “rockstar status” that conferences create around certain figures, once they come out to take a selfie with some nice people and young fans, then to quickly disappear back to the ‘whale room’ or backstage. There’s often an entire insider network determining who gets these free tickets. In some cases, it’s naturally tied to the local community, but in others, the professionalism is laughably low. At certain events, you could probably just walk up to the entrance (if there’s even someone checking) and say, “I’m with the organization” to get in for free. It gets even more absurd.\ At a conference near the French-Swiss border, I was probably one of the very few who actually paid for entry. The real spectacle wasn’t in the talk rooms — which remained eerily empty — but in the dining area, where half the town seemed to have shown up just for the free food. Around 200 people queued for a free lunch, while the presentation halls were at best one-third full throughout the day. And beyond the ticket games, there are plenty of ways to slip in unnoticed. Carrying a random piece of equipment and mumbling\ “I need to put this crate in the back” can get you past security. Or you can just wait for the one security guard to get distracted by chatting up a girl or stepping out for a smoke, and you’re in. At one event, I walked in alongside someone carrying crates of wine for the VIP lounge. I blended in perfectly (I paid afterward). So, to sum up: at nearly every conference I’ve been to, a big portion of attendees either walk in for free or hold compensation tickets they got through some connection. Sometimes that connection is uncomfortably close to the organizers. Other times, they just slap an “industry” label on themselves when, in reality, they’re nothing more than a social media bio with a few followers. Local representatives of a podcast, community, influencer network, or fake marketing club also get in for free. And you? The regular guest, you and I are paying for them. There’s no real vetting process; with some organizers, anyone wearing a Bitcoin t-shirt and saying the magic words “I do community building” or “I know the local Bitcoin meetups” gets a free pass. The ones who actually want to learn about Bitcoin — the ones who click the link and pay full price — are the ones covering the costs for everyone else and ultimately making these conferences profitable (or at least break even). The problem? They’re the ones left wondering: “Was it really worth my time and money?” only to never return again most of the time. Because many of the people at these conferences aren’t there to learn. They’re part of the circus. And others? They’re the ones paying for the circus boss, the clowns, and the trapeze artists. At that one conference with the massive free-lunch crowd, I saw one interesting talk. And I had plenty of valuable conversations and observations — conversations I could have just as easily had by visiting that place outside of a conference setting. In the end, I realized the main reason I was there was to support a fellow Bitcoiner giving a presentation. And after that? They disappeared from my life. Because, just like in the fiat world, you’re only as good as your last few hours of usefulness to most people. Which brings me to the next element of Bitcoin conferences...friends **Bitcoin “frens”** This might be the hardest lesson of all: you meet fellow Bitcoiners at these conferences. And some of them? They’re truly special characters. A few even made such a deep connection with not-so-well-traveled-me that I would’ve gladly traveled a full travel day just to spend time working and doing something meaningful together (which I actually did). But most of these connections? They last only a moment. Few survive beyond the conference, mainly because of the vast distances— both in kilometers (or miles) and in the way we live our everyday lives. The Bitcoiners you meet at these events are, for the most part, just regular people trying to make ends meet in the fiat world while saving in Bitcoin. Or they’re chasing the Bitcoin dream or even find a job in the fata morgana of bitcoin jobs. They act like they belong, like a clown acting like he’s going to climb the trapeze. I respect that. But over time, I realized that many of them operate in Bitcoin mode; a kind of facade. Behind that front, that mask, most are just testing the waters to see if they can make it. And most don’t.\ Treating Bitcoin as a lifestyle movement, a career shortcut, or an identity, has its limits. Eventually, the real person breaks through. And you have to face your own instincts and personality.\ I’ve tried to be an acrobat, and ride the lion, make the audience laugh, but I’m still the seal who’s brought back to the cage after he balanced a ball on his nose. The quote “I’m Jack’s wasted life.” came to mind often when standing somewhere at a conference space. Self-doubting people stay self-doubting, owning Bitcoin or not. Emotional wrecks remain emotional wrecks — just with Bitcoin now. And when these masks slip off, you’ll see everything: the greed, the overconfidence, the longing for drama, the addictions, the narcissism, the energy-draining personalities, sleaziness usually with the ones who always say the right oneliners or wear the right Bitcoin merch to blend in. And you can love people for that. Everyone has flaws. Everyone has a price as well. But these Bitcoin “frens” can also hurt you badly. Because as Bitcoiners, we carry hopes. And hopes are like ants on a sidewalk, they’ll eventually get crushed.\ We long to meet people who see the same truth, the same vision of Bitcoin as we do. Some will act like they actually understand and do, they talk the talk for a while, as if they’re parroting a podcast. If you stay in the shadows - like I did for years - you won’t have to deal with these things. If you never try, you’ll never be let down. But you still stay in the imaginary basement, letting yourself down. That’s not the bitcoin style. We router around problems. Even if we stand amidst the problems (like a conference). But if you do? There’s a hefty price to pay — beyond just the money spent. It’s a cost paid in energy, emotions, and social interactions and above all: time. And once in a while, you’ll meet a friend for life. Just be prepared: Bitcoin is a journey that few people you encounter at a conference can take for longer than four years, or even four hours of conversation actually. And then, after navigating the social maze of Bitcoin conferences —the connections, the masks, the fleeting friendships, the smell of weed and regret — you find yourself facing an even greater challenge: the queue at a coffee stall. <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/26f00a14b1ff12ea82635f1fd659900a7a836d37591556a31fda91d8210dcff0.png"> ## ## \ The Soviet LN Queue It’s one of the most fascinating and frustrating aspects of every conference: the insanely long lines. Whether it’s for the toilets, a coffee booth, or some niche merchandise stall, you’ll see Bitcoiners waiting like it’s 1963 after a Soviet state bakery just got fresh deliveries. waiting for coffee Seriously, aren’t we supposed to be the pinnacle of free-market efficiency? Instead, we’ve somehow perfected the art of the long food lines. I remember people waiting in line for like 35 minutes to order a cappuccino! The usual culprit? A mix of payment chaos and the Bitcoin Orangepill mental issues in action. A large portion insists on using Lightning (as in "their preferred lighting wallet"), which would be fine except they’re fumbling with some exotic, half-working wallet because using something that’s actually fast might get them sneered at for being “custodial.” On top of that, vendors are juggling card payments, cash, various Lightning POS systems, and even the occasional cutting edge dudes trying to pay with an Apple Watch or worse, some newly released Lightning-enabled gadget that doesn’t work yet. And when it does work, it requires so much attention and Instagram footage that it takes five minutes just to hand someone a coffee while the guy pays with a lighting NFC ring on his finger, something you can't use ànywhere else ever. It’s cool. But not to anyone else than you. So, here’s a tip for the regular people, the rats that pay for all of this : sneak out. Then you find a small, locally owned café outside the conference, pay them in cash, and actually enjoy your food in a few seconds or minutes. If (and only if) they accept Bitcoin, great! Tip them well. Otherwise, just relax and have a conversation with a local, all the while inside the conference venue there are Bitcoiners filming each other struggling to make a payment with the latest Lightning-enabled NFC card or making the staff uneasy. Meanwhile, some poor 22-year-old café worker is trapped in an unsolicited podcast participation: “Wait, you accept tips in Wallet of Satoshi? Who told you that? I’ll explain it to you!” Or worse: “Hold on, I just need to do a quick swap… It’s an on-chain transaction, the last block was 19 minutes ago, can’t be long now… wait… umm… do you take VISA?” At this point, ordering a simple drink at a Bitcoin conference has become an unnecessarily complex, ego-driven performance. With long queues as a direct result. And don’t get me started on the story when 30+ bitcoiners walked in to a Portuguese restaurant without a reservation, and they all wanted to pay with different payment methods. It was like the Vietnam war. **Solution:** A tip for conference organizers and their catering : pick one Bitcoin point of sales system, set clear guidelines, and make everyone stick to them. Instruct people to adhere to the following : Pay with a (bank) card, cash, or Lightning and PLEASE decide beforehand which method you’re using before ordering your stuff! We prefer lighting. If you’re using Lightning, have enough balance on you wallet or get lost. Use a compatible wallet. (Provide a tested “approved” list and train staff properly. Users who use other stuff get their order “cancelled” at the first sign of trouble. Your app‘s not scanning, or not compatible, or it has some technical mumbo-jumbo going on to your vpn LN node at home 2000 km away? Please get real and pay with a bank card or something. No filming, duck-facing (like it's 2017) or stupid selfies with your payment. It’s been done a thousand times by now. There are people in line, waiting behind you, they want to order as well, while you have your little ego trip or marketing moment. Move on please! “Our staff knows how bitcoin payments work, you don’t need to #orangesplain it to anyone.” We don’t care about your 200th LN app or the latest “but… this one is faster” thingy. Order your drinks, pay and get out of the way please. Bitcoin fixes many things. But it hasn’t quite fixed this yet. The bitcoin conference axiom Going to a conference, versus keeping your bitcoin in your wallet is a tough choice for many. If you pay nothing for tickets and lodging, while enjoying free meals and cocktails, your opportunity cost drops close to zero —yet your networking and social impact are maximized while you can also do business. That’s ideal. At least, for you. In such case, Bitcoin may only "win" over an extended timeline, but for you, it's essentially a free ride. You incur no real opportunity costs. You drink their milkshake. On the other hand, if you’re a regular attendee, you pay full price: the ticket, overpriced drinks and food from the stands (losing even more if you generously pay for coffee in sats), plus extras like t-shirts and books (which you’ll never read). Your milkshake gets taken—at least half of it. If you’re lucky, you might spend an evening in town with the event’s "stars"—those occasional luminaries who briefly grace the normies with their presence for a drink. Some can’t even hold their liquor. Year after year, the same 10 to 15 speakers or panelists appear, funded by your dime, traveling the world and enjoying the perks—some even cultivating fan bases and hosting exclusive parties. The real opportunity cost hits hardest for regular attendees who come to learn, shelling out significant money while accumulating their fourth hardware wallet or yet another orange-themed t-shirt. They might even squeeze in a selfie with a former sportswear model turned Bitcoiner. For normies (as they’re often called), the financial and social scales rarely tip in their favor. **Calculating the conference opportunity cost** To determine the opportunity cost of attending a conference instead of investing in Bitcoin, over time follow these steps: 1. Calculate your total conference expenses, including tickets, travel, food, drinks, and lodging (merchandise and donations). 2. Estimate Bitcoin’s percentage gain over the conference period and the following year(s). (in order to not make you cry, I suggest nog going over 5 years) 3. Multiply your total conference cost by this percentage to determine the potential Bitcoin profit you forgo. 4. Assign a dollar value to the networking or business opportunities you expect to gain from the conference (if you’re not just in it for the laughs, meeting high-class consultants, friendships, self-proclaimed social media Bitcoiners, or the occasional gyrating on one of the musicians/artists/food stall staff members). 5. Subtract this “networking” value from the missed Bitcoin profit to find your net opportunity cost (this is rather personal,… with me it’s zero, but for someone selling t-shirts it’s probably much more). If the result is negative over the chosen timeframe, the conference was financially worthwhile for you. If positive, holding or buying Bitcoin was the smarter move. Unless you’re a recognized speaker in this traveling circus, your opportunity cost will likely be positive — meaning all the others lose hard money, while fumbling with your Lightning wallet. The Conference Opportunity Cost Formula Let: CT = Total conference ticket & entrance cost (in dollars) CR = Total related conference costs (travel, lodging, food, etc.) C = CT + CR (Total cost) G = Bitcoin’s % gain per year (as a decimal, e.g., 5% = 0.05) N = Estimated fiat value of networking/business opportunities and knowledge gained. ### OC = (C × G) − N Where: OC (Opportunity Cost) &lt; 0 → The conference was worth attending. OC (Opportunity Cost) &gt; 0 → Holding/buying Bitcoin was the better move. Some example calculations (I've left out examples before 2020, I don't want people crying or waking up at night thinking "Why did I go to Amsterdam in 2014?!") example : Conference in April 2024 Entrance: $200 Lodging, t-shirt, and travel: $900 Bitcoin's estimated gain: 23% (0.23) No business / knowledge value gained OC = (200 + 900) × 0.23 - 0 - $253 OC (Bitcoin would have been the better choice.) Conference in April 2020 (adjusted for historical Bitcoin growth) Entrance: $175 Lodging and travel: $700 Bitcoin's estimated gain: 1089% (10.89) No business / knowledge value gained OC = (175 + 700) × 10.89 - 0 OC = +$9,529 (Massive missed gains — Bitcoin was the clear winner. \-- So the first lesson in bitcoin should be: Only attend conferences if you get paid to do so and get a free ticket and free lodging, which kind of would kill that whole industry to begin with. ### Energizing At first, it’s energizing to meet like-minded bitcoiners, but after a while, you realize that a big chunk of them are just trying to sell you something or aren’t really bitcoin-focused at all. And some of them are just looking for their next way to kill time and boredom. The drama that comes with attending these conference and the personal interaction can get pretty intense at times, since expectations often don’t match the personalities. Before you know, you’re walking around at night through some bad part of a town, while crying your eyes out because you thought you found your soulmate. Future pure industry conferences will suffer less from this drama, because everyone there has the same goal — pushing their company or product— while the “other” grassroots conferences are more of a meeting spot for bitcoiners of all types and perspectives, bringing the usual drama and mess that comes with human interactions. Current conferences are a mix of both usually. I think the current era of bitcoin conferences is coming to an end. Soon, probably by the end of 2025, we’ll see a clear split between industry-driven and human-driven (grassroots) smaller conferences, and it’ll be really important to keep these two separate. I even had the idea to launch a sort of conference where there wouldn’t be any industry speakers or companies present. Just bitcoiners gathering at a certain place at a specific week and having a good time. I called it “club Sat” And you could just go there, and meet other bitcoiners, while acting there was a big venue and speakers,… but there aren’t any. Would be refreshing. No struggle for tickets, no backstage stuff, no boring talks and presentation,… just the surroundings and the drama lever you want and probably like. ### On stage The podium is usually left for the known names. Not every conference is like that, but most of them need these names, badly. These names know each other, they encounter one another in VIP rooms and “the industry” a lot of times anyway. The same people you see in the bitcoin news, the same people having a cult following, and the very same people traveling, staying and drinking for free while spreading the same bitcoin wisdoms will be invited over and over again. Or… they go rock around as they’re usually so bored they had to start a rock band to entertain themselves. Which is rather entertaining if you’re following up on who does what, but in the end it’s largely just for their own amusement and it shows. I get that. I would do the same. It’s fun and all. It’s just a bit sad that there are only a small group of top-layer speakers, and then the sub-top that usually has more to say, or gets little opportunity. The reason for that is simple: the “normies” who pay in full for tickets, come there for the “big” names. They don’t know that much about bitcoin usually, so they’re not waiting on some unknown dude explaining something about an obscure niche subject. A debate can help remedie this, to mix it in with some lesser known names, but I have the feeling the current “line-up” of bitcoin conferences feels like a rock festival in 2025 putting the Stone temple pilots or Creed on the card. Yes, they’ll attract an audience and do their playset well,… but it’s not exactly the pinnacle of the music industry at the moment, neither is Madonna by the way :) ## Promoting anything The people organizing these events usually aren’t Bitcoiners either — they’re promoters (few exceptions though). <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/f478bf793b2048a51a15ceab5b8384abdb8d00c6d7c3cdd16731f5379cc1417d.png"> They don’t care if they organize a symposium about a newly discovered STD, A three-day cheese tasting event, a Star Trek convention, or a Lucha Libre wrestling tournament featuring El HODLador, as long as they can sell tickets and make money from merchandise they're good. The last thing on the mind with some of them will be helping bitcoin adoption. There will be a time (soon) where people that know bitcoin, known bitcoiners and know how to organize events get their act together. It will be different than the early days, and it will be different than the boring going-through-the-motions conferences we have now. There shall be fun, social gatherings, life, excitement and culture, and not the “what do you sell?” atmosphere, neither the “this old dude on stage again”? That’s why they’ll slap any semi-famous name on the poster to pull in a crowd - could be a washed-up Mexican wrestling star with strange legal issues, the cheese-tasting equivalent of Usain Bolt, or your neighborhood Bitcoin old-timer with a beard and a "best selling author" label. It’s also why most of these conferences end up being more about shitcoins than anything else. And even if they're for the most part about bitcoin, the venue is usually infested with marketing budgets, useless organizations that wanted complimentary tickets (some of them do only one thing: popping up when a conference is nearby and then they’re gone again) ... along with some hawking consultant types you never see anywhere else. They'll occasionally pay people but usually in fiat, or if you're a bigger name, you might get other deals. For artists or staff, it's all in fiat from what I heard. Pure Bitcoin conferences, also rely on these big names. Whether it’s a well-known Bitcoiner, a CEO, president, or someone with real reveling knowledge to share with the audience (though that last type is getting rare). ### **Looking for love in all the wrong places** \ Let’s also address the fair share of “orange diggers” at Bitcoin conferences—because yes, they exist. And no, let’s not single out one particular gender here. Some people treat a Bitcoin conference like a live-action dating app mixed with a financial vetting process for potential partners. It’s essentially an opportunity to inspect and assess the grab bag of fintech, crypto, and Bitcoin folks in real life. And if you think this is exaggerated, just attend a few conferences—three is enough. You’ll start noticing the same people popping up, seemingly without any real Bitcoin knowledge, but with a very strong interest in dining, chatting, and generally being around—as long as you look and play the part. I can only imagine how dialed-up this effect must be at a shitcoin conference — probably like flies on a cowpie. The trick is, in Bitcoin, these people try to blend in. Some even tag along with real Bitcoiners, while others just crash the party and try to get noticed. Their actual interest in Bitcoin? Close to zero. Their main target? Your wallet, or some fantasy thing about getting to know someone out of the ordinary. And that’s a shame for the people who genuinely care about Bitcoin, who want to network, or who simply are looking for like-minded people. They often find themselves competing for attention with those who’ve turned “being noticed” into a sport, while the rest just wander around, lost in the shuffle. Talk to the quiet ones. Certainly if they look like they belong in a antiques shop. My advice: Talk to people and be genuine. If you don’t know much about Bitcoin, that’s fine - nobody expects you to be a walking whitepaper and on top of that, most people you'll encounter don't know that much either. It’s bitcoin: we’re all rather average people that hold an extraordinary asset. Just don’t be "that orange digger" looking for a partner with a loaded bag of bitcoin. Because in the end, what’s the prize you win? You don’t know who’s under the mask. You don’t even know who’s under your own mask. Finding a man or woman at a place where half the people are laser-focused on financial sovereignty, and the other half are busy arguing about seed phrase storage, UTXO management, and why your Lightning wallet sucks? But good luck with that. The judge of character usually comes when they find the next shiny object or ditched you standing in the rain at the entrance of a restaurant while dealing with a lightning watchtower or a funny cigarette or whatever. If you’re truly looking for love, maybe stick to going to a normal bar. If you’re here to learn, connect, and be part of something of a grassroots movement, then be real yourself. I've seen some rather nasty examples of people at Bitcoin conferences—of all kinds. And I've also seen some really cool examples of truly awesome people. This led me to believe that Bitcoin conferences simply let you meet… people, just dialed up a bit. Future If you encounter rotten people, they’ll usually be even more rotten than in the fiat world. If you meet really cool people, they’ll be even more awesome than the cool people in the fiat world. Our volatility is our freedom. So, I guess it’s normal. Doesn’t make it any easier, though. Bitcoin sees through bullshit, and so do Bitcoiners (even if it takes 21,000 blocks) Pretty soon, I reckon we’ll see conferences fork into two camps: grass roots, and the “industry” level ones. (human / corporate) I guess I’ll only attend the human part, for sure, but I can’t help but booking myself a single room in a hotel in a nice area in that case, so I don’t have to deal with class of 2022 hippies sharing referral links to their middleman service while asking me for a lighter 3 times in a row. The chances for me of meeting cool bitcoiners in a nearby cocktail bar are a lot higher. In the meanwhile, I’ll look forward and see how the bitcoin conferences will evolve, fork in two “styles”. One corporate and one underground. Maybe there will be one more genre just for the fun of it. I’ll stay away, as I don’t like this current mix of industry gigs and having the insiders and “the rest” of us all mingled together clamoring for tickets, attention and coffee. The game is rigged. Staying at home is the better option (for now). written by AVB If you like : [tip here](https://coinos.io/allesvoorbitcoin/receive)

Good morning, readers! Georgian officials froze the bank accounts of five nonprofit organizations that provide financial and legal support to detained protesters. This follows rising public unrest as Georgia’s regime pushes new laws restricting free speech and assembly, introducing new fines and penalties, and expanding law enforcement powers. By eroding civil protections, the regime makes it more dangerous and costly for activists, dissenters, and everyday citizens to stand up against an increasingly repressive regime.\ \ Meanwhile, the Indian government introduced a new income tax bill that grants tax authorities sweeping surveillance power over anyone they “suspect” of tax evasion. If suspected, tax authorities are legally allowed to access Indians' email, social media, and bank accounts, raising obvious concerns over state overreach and invasions of individual financial privacy.\ \ In freedom tech news, HRF donated 1 billion satoshis to more than 20 projects worldwide, focusing on supporting human rights defenders and vulnerable communities under authoritarian regimes across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. These gifts advance censorship-resistant communications and transactions, bitcoin education, and privacy tools so that dissidents, nonprofits, and individuals may better protect their human rights and financial freedom. In this letter we also spotlight a new open-source mobile Bitcoin wallet called Cove. While still in beta, the wallet can be used with a hardware device or on its own as a hot wallet, offering a flexible self-custody setup for managing Bitcoin. We end with a podcast in which HRF Chief Strategy Officer Alex Gladstein discusses the state of freedom tech and why Bitcoin stands as the most promising tool for financial liberation. **Now, let’s get right to it!** ### [**SUBSCRIBE HERE**](https://mailchi.mp/hrf.org/financial-freedom-newsletter?mc_cid=bf652c0a5a) ## **GLOBAL NEWS** #### **Georgia | Officials Freeze Accounts of Organizations Supporting Protesters** Georgian officials have [frozen](https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2025/03/georgia-authorities-freeze-accounts-of-organizations-supporting-protesters-to-kill-the-peaceful-protests/) the bank accounts of five nonprofit organizations that provide financial and legal aid to dissenters. This comes in response to an uprising of protests over new controversial laws that restrict free expression and assembly, increase fines and detention periods, and expand law enforcement powers. Georgian officials justify the account freezes as part of an investigation into “sabotage,” yet they have provided no evidence.

This will include legal access to personal emails, social media, and bank accounts. The new law expands on the Income Tax Act of 1961, which previously limited officials to searching physical premises for financial documents. Now, officials can bypass digital security measures and access private data without consent — all under a legal framework. This dissipation of financial privacy sets an intrusive precedent and opens the door to state-level corruption and surveillance in a country where the Modi regime has already made it clear they are happy to use financial repression to further cement their power. #### **Myanmar | Bitcoin as a Tool Support Earthquake Disaster Relief** Last week, a [7.7 magnitude earthquake](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/world/asia/earthquake-myanmar-thailand-death-toll.html) struck central Burma, with strong tremors reaching neighboring Thailand.

The junta is also continuing to conduct air strikes on civilians and restricting equipment and fuel for aid groups, leaving a [million](https://data.unhcr.org/en/country/mmr) people in Sagaing to fend for themselves. In these repressive circumstances, Bitcoin can provide a censorship-resistant way to send funds directly to those affected. #### **Angola | Regime Jacks Price of Diesel** The Angolan regime [raised](https://www.rigzone.com/news/wire/angola_doubles_diesel_prices_after_imf_call_for_subsidy_cuts-25-mar-2025-180020-article/) diesel prices by 50% in the process of eliminating fuel subsidies. Diesel prices suddenly increased from 200 to 300 kwanza per liter, driving up transportation costs in a country where over half the population lives on [less](https://www.rigzone.com/news/wire/angola_doubles_diesel_prices_after_imf_call_for_subsidy_cuts-25-mar-2025-180020-article/) than $2 a day and inflation is over 42%. Previous fuel subsidy cuts in 2023 (where the price of diesel rose [80%](https://www.dw.com/en/angolan-police-crack-down-on-fuel-hike-protests/a-65978231)) sparked [protests](https://www.dw.com/en/angolan-police-crack-down-on-fuel-hike-protests/a-65978231) between taxi drivers, nonprofit workers, and law enforcement. This recent price increase now raises fears of renewed crackdowns. The Angolan regime also introduced new civil society laws that Guilherme Neves, chairman of the human rights organization Associacao Maos Livres, [describes](https://www.dw.com/en/angolan-police-crack-down-on-fuel-hike-protests/a-65978231) as a “license to erase non-governmental organizations that are not government-compliant.” Angolans find themselves in increasingly precarious financial positions as the government erodes the civil safeguards protecting nonprofits and dissenters. #### **Nicaragua | Ortega’s Dismantling of Press Freedom** Since coming to power in 2007, Ortega has [closed or seized](https://havanatimes.org/features/ortegas-war-on-journalism-in-nicaragua/) 61 media outlets, imprisoned countless journalists, and forced over 280 journalists into exile. His [assault on press freedom](https://havanatimes.org/features/ortegas-war-on-journalism-in-nicaragua/) has unfolded in two phases: initial raids on local radio stations and TV channels between 2007 and 2017, followed by full-scale censorship in 2018 on independent media outlets like [La Prensa](https://www.laprensani.com/) and [CONFIDENCIAL](https://confidencial.digital/). Ortega then intensified attacks from 2019 to 2021 by closing Nicaragua’s second-oldest newspaper and passing laws to [criminalize](https://havanatimes.org/features/ortegas-war-on-journalism-in-nicaragua/) free expression. This is a deliberate strategy to eliminate dissent and independent voices. What’s happening in Nicaragua highlights the importance of open and decentralized protocols like nostr, which allow journalists to publish freely without getting censored. While still early, it is becoming essential for sharing information absent the fear of being blocked or silenced by autocratic leaders. ## BITCOIN AND FREEDOM TECH NEWS #### **HRF | Gifts 1 Billion Satoshis to 20+ Open Source Projects Worldwide** HRF gifted 1 billion satoshis in its Q1 2025 round of [Bitcoin Development Fund](https://hrf.org/program/financial-freedom/bitcoin-development-fund/) (BDF) grants, supporting more than 20 open-source projects around the world. These projects advance Bitcoin education, open-source software, mining decentralization, and privacy tools for activists contending with authoritarian regimes across Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Supporting permissionless financial tools and censorship-resistant technologies empowers dissidents, journalists, and civil society to organize, transact, and communicate without state suppression and interference. Learn more about the grantees and their work [here](https://hrf.org/latest/hrf-bitcoin-development-fund-supports-20-projects-worldwide/). #### **Cove | New Open-Source and Permissionless Bitcoin Wallet** [Cove](https://github.com/bitcoinppl/cove) is a new open-source and permissionless mobile Bitcoin wallet that aims to put users in full control of their Bitcoin. Users can connect their own hardware wallet (to manage Bitcoin offline) or use Cove as a hot wallet (to manage Bitcoin online). It also allows users to create multiple wallets from the app itself. In the future, Cove plans to add Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) selection and coin control, giving users more independence over their transactions and the tools to better protect their financial privacy. While still in beta and only suitable for test funds, this wallet holds promise as a privacy tool to equip dissidents with self-custodied Bitcoin. You can try it [here](https://github.com/bitcoinppl/cove). #### **Second | New Ark Implementation Launches on Bitcoin Signet** [Second](https://second.tech/), a company building on Ark, a protocol designed to help scale Bitcoin’s transaction throughput, [launched](https://blog.second.tech/try-ark-on-signet/?ref=nobsbitcoin.com) “Bark.” Bark is a test implementation of the Ark protocol deployed on Bitcoin’s [Signet](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Signet) network (where developers test software). More broadly, the Ark protocol helps make Bitcoin transactions more private, faster, and cheaper, supporting the network in handling more transactions and users with the tradeoff of being less trusted than the mainchain, as funds stored in a noncustodial way on Ark can expire if not used. While it is still in early development, the test release of Bark marks a step toward deployment on the main Bitcoin network. Scaling solutions like Ark could be important for activists and individuals. They might ensure Bitcoin remains accessible to all, even as block space demand increases and network fees rise. Learn about it [here](https://blog.second.tech/try-ark-on-signet/?ref=nobsbitcoin.com). #### **Braiins | Open Sources Bitcoin Control Board** [Braiins](https://braiins.com/), a company building tools for Bitcoin mining, [open-sourced](https://x.com/BraiinsMining/status/1904601547855573458) its [BCB100](https://github.com/braiins/BCB100) Bitcoin Control Board, giving miners using their products greater insight and control over their Bitcoin mining hardware and firmware. Sharing the design files and firmware openly helps strengthen Bitcoin’s decentralization, making it more resilient against corporate or state interference. Specifically, open-sourcing mining hardware ensures individual miners can operate independently, reducing censorship risks across the entire network. In turn, this preserves financial freedom by keeping Bitcoin accessible and usable by dissidents, nonprofits, and individuals who need it most. #### **African Bitcoiners | Publish Bitcoin Starter Guide** [African Bitcoiners](https://x.com/afribitcoiners) just published “[Bitcoin: Africa’s Guide to Freedom Money](https://x.com/afribitcoiners/status/1904516726273851513),” a Bitcoin guide providing clear, practical insights into how Bitcoin can help people across the continent escape inflation, corrupt regimes, and failing financial systems. It covers essential topics to get started — from choosing a wallet to properly securing Bitcoin. In Africa, where some of the world’s longest-standing dictators restrict even basic financial activity, this guide is a powerful resource for human rights defenders, nonprofits, and everyday citizens. Read it[ here](https://bitcoiners.africa/bitcoin-africas-guide-to-freedom-money/). #### **OpenSats | 10th Wave of Nostr Grants** [OpenSats](https://opensats.org/), a nonprofit that supports open-source software development, [announced](https://opensats.org/blog/10th-wave-of-nostr-grants) its tenth wave of grants for projects in the nostr ecosystem. Nostr is a decentralized protocol that enables digital identity and communications outside the reach of authoritarian states. The grant round provides support to nostr Epoxy, which enhances access to nostr by circumventing censorship through a network of paid proxies. This ensures activists and dissidents can continue to communicate even in restrictive environments. Additionally, Zapstore received a grant for providing a permissionless app store built on nostr that enables developers to distribute software without corporate gatekeepers. This provides an open-source alternative to centralized app stores that often comply with government censorship and restrict dissidents’ access to freedom tools. ## RECOMMENDED CONTENT #### **Freedom Tech with Alex Gladstein** In this [episode](https://x.com/blockspacepod/status/1896229100702089589?s=46&t=yEPKerGEzeCp5j_mIaNJ8A) of The Gwart Show, Alex Gladstein, chief strategy officer at HRF, breaks down how and why Bitcoin serves as “money dictators can’t stop.” Drawing on more than 17 years of human rights work, he shares real-world examples of activists and citizens using Bitcoin to escape financial repression in authoritarian countries. Gladstein also explores privacy tools, cross-border payments, and why Bitcoin offers promising hope for financial freedom. Watch the full conversation [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ng961QZwI0). #### **The State of Personal Online Security and Confidentiality with Meredith Whittaker**   In this [keynote](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyH7zoP-JOg) for SXSW 2025, Signal CEO Meredith Whittaker shares her growing concerns around AI, personal data collection, and the erosion of privacy in today’s increasingly digital world.

Over the past few years, The School of Bitcoin (TSOBTC) has built a reputation as a decentralised, open-source educational initiative dedicated to financial sovereignty and digital literacy. Our faculty, contributors, and global community have worked tirelessly to create resources that embody the Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS) ethos, ensuring that knowledge remains accessible to all. As part of our commitment to maintaining an open and transparent model, we are excited to announce that The School of Bitcoin is officially migrating to Consensus21.School. This transition is not just a rebranding--it marks the consolidation of all our initiatives, projects, and educational resources under the Consensus21.School banner. The School of Bitcoin will no longer exist as a separate entity. This move comes as a response to growing confusion between our initiative and another entity operating under the domain schoolofbitcoin (SOB), which has taken a direction that does not align with our open-source philosophy. To reaffirm our dedication to FOSS and community-driven education, we are bringing everything--our courses, programs, and collaborations--into a singular, more focused ecosystem at Consensus21.School. What Does This Mean for Our Community? Rest assured, all the valuable content, courses, and educational materials that have been developed under TSOBTC will remain available. We continue to embrace a value-for-value model, ensuring that learners can access resources while supporting the ecosystem in a way that aligns with their means and values. By consolidating under Consensus21.School, we are doubling down on the principles of decentralisation, self-sovereignty, and permissionless learning. This transition includes all of our key initiatives, including V4V Open Lessons, the Decentralised Autonomous Education System (DAES), and our involvement with the Plan B Network. Full Migration of DAES and Plan B Network Collaboration As part of this transition, the Decentralised Autonomous Education System (DAES) is now officially part of Consensus21.School and is fully reflected in the Consensus21.School Whitepaper. DAES will continue to provide a platform for aspiring learners to submit their Bitcoin project ideas for potential funding and mentorship, with active engagement in our Stacker News /~Education territory and Signal chat for collaboration. We invite contributors to support our learner fund and help bring innovative ideas to fruition within this new ecosystem. Additionally, our collaboration with the Plan B Network will now operate under Consensus21.School. Through this partnership, we will continue teaching using the Plan B Network's curriculum to provide high-quality Bitcoin education and strengthen local Bitcoin communities. This global initiative remains a core part of our mission, now fully integrated within Consensus21.School. Looking Ahead With Consensus21.School, we will continue innovating in peer-to-peer learning, integrating cutting-edge developments in Bitcoin, Nostr, and decentralised technologies. We encourage our community to stay engaged, contribute, and help us build an even stronger foundation for the future of open education. This is more than just a domain change--it is the next evolution of our mission. The School of Bitcoin as an entity is now retired, and all our efforts, including DAES and the Plan B Network collaboration, will move forward exclusively under Consensus21.School. We invite educators, students, and enthusiasts to join us in shaping this next phase of open financial education. The journey continues, and we are thrilled to embark on this new chapter together

 หลังจากจบทริปเที่ยวพัทยาเรียบร้อยแล้วก็ได้เดินทางไปยังเกาะช้างโดยติดรถเจ้าหน้าที่ในที่ทำงานไปไปเกาะช้างครั้งแรกรู้สึกว่ามันไกลเหลือเกินไปค่อนข้างยากหากไม่มีรถส่วนตัว ถ้าให้ไปส่วนตัวก็คงต้องอยู่นานๆ หน่อยชักแบบอาทิตย์หนึ่ง ใช้ชีวิตแบบฝรั่งเที่ยวอยู่ง่ายๆ กินง่ายๆ จากที่ดูในแผนที่ btcmap แล้วพบว่าก็มีร้านที่ปักหมุดไว้อยู่ทั้งหมดสองร้านด้วยกันซึ่งระยะทางก็ค่อนข้างซันเหมือนกัน และมีเนินสูงต่ำสลับกันไป หากไม่มีรถส่วนตัวไปนี่ค่อนข้่างลำบากพอสมควร ต้องเช่ามอไซต์ไป อันนี้ก็เช่าไปเหมือนกัน โดยผมเช่ามอไซต์ 1 วันวันละ 200 บาท (แต่มัดจำ 3000 บาท) ก็เอาเรื่องเหมือนกัน และก็มาเริ่มต้นที่ร้านแรกเลยคือ --- ### **Mr. A Coffee**  ร้านอาหารสไตล์บ้านๆ ที่ขายอาหาร น้ำ เครื่องดื่ม มีทั้งอาหารไทยและอาหารฝรั่ง ส่วนตัวก็ขับรถมอไซต์มายังสถานที่แห่งนี้ทางเข้าไปยังร้านเป็นหมู่บ้านเล็กๆ ไม่มีถนนเข้า แต่มอไซต์เข้าไปได้พอสมควร ตอนนั้นค่อนข้างเย็นมากแล้ว ได้มาสั่งอาหารมาคือ ข้าวเหนียวมะม่วงกับน้ำแก้วมังกรปั่นแบบไม่หวาน (ทั้งๆที่ตัวเองก็จะเตรียมไปกินบุ๊ปเฟ่อีกหนึ่งชั่วโมงข้างหน้า 555) ก็ได้สั่งไปแล้วก็ถามว่ารับ bitcoin ไหมครับ เจ้าของร้านก็บอกว่า รับๆ ผมกับเจ้าของร้านก็ได้พูดคุยกันเกือบประมาณครึ่งชั่วโมง ซึ่งหากผมมาเร็วกว่านี้หน่อยก็คงได้คุยกันยาวๆ แล้วละ ซึ่งเป็นการคุยที่สนุกมากซึ่งตัวเจ้าของร้านเองก็ได้เล่าถึงเหตุผลที่รับ bitcoin เหมือนกันว่าช่วง โควิดตอนปี 2020 ที่ผ่านมา บนเกาะช้างไม่มีอะไรเลยชาวบ้านก็ต้องไปหารากไม้ หาเห็ดตามป่าเขากัน แต่พี่เจ้าของร้านได้รู้จักกับฝรั่งคนหนึ่งเขาช่วยเหลือพี่เจ้าของร้านด้วยการบริจาคบิทคอยให้ และคนนี้ก็เป็นคนสอนให้เขารับบิทคอยโดยใช้ WOS และเจ้าของร้านก็เล่าให้ผมฟังเพิ่มเติม ณ ปัจจุบันว่า คนเราเองก็ยังต้องมีสภาพคล่องในการใช้งานอยู่ ตั้งมีเงิน fiat ไว้ส่วนหนึ่ง ส่วนบิทคอยที่ได้เขาได้ก็เก็บไว้เพื่อสร้างเป็นทรัพย์สินในอนาคตที่หากมีปัญหาช่วงไหนก็นำมาขายได้ ก็แลก P2P โดยตรง ซึ่งผมค่อนข้างตกใจเพราะเขาเรียนรู้จากการรับบิทคอยโดยนักท่องเที่ยวชาวต่างชาติที่ชวนเขาให้รับ เผื่อว่าจะมีฝรั่งมาใช้งานบิทคอย ณ สถานที่ร้านแห่งนี้  กึมมิคที่หลายท่านอาจจะต้องลุ้นหน่อยว่าหากมีโอกาสได้ไปเที่ยวและแวะที่ร้าน ก็คงต้่องลุ้นว่าคุณจะได้จ่ายด้วย bitcoin ไหม หากวันนั้นเจ้าของร้านไม่อยากรับเพราะว่าโคต้ารับบิทคอยวันนั้นเต็มแล้ว ฮ่าๆ รูปแบบระบบวาสนาร้านสูญของคุณมิกตอนเมื่อก่อน (เหมือนกันเลย) จริงๆ แล้วหากมีเวลามากพอก็คงได้พูดคุยกับพี่เจ้าของร้านสนุกๆกันไป ผมชอบความเรียบง่ายของร้านพี่เขา และมีอาหารหลากหลายอย่างเต็มไปหมด อีกเรื่องอย่างข้าวเหนียวมะม่วง ผมยังจำได้ว่าเมื่อก่อนมีแต่ช่วงฤดูเดียวที่สามารถกินมะม่วงสุกได้ หรือ อาหารแบบข้าวเหนียวมะม่วง แต่ปัจจุบันคือถ้าจะกิน ข้าวเหนียวมะม่วงแล้ว สามารถสั่งกินได้ตลอดทั้งปีกันเลยซึ่งก็โอเครพอสมควร แบบอยากไปทะเลตอนหน้าฝนแล้วอยากกินข้าวเหนียวมะม่วงของหน้าร้อนแบบนี้  ท้ายสุดร้าน Mr. A Coffee เป็นร้านที่ถ้านั่งชิวๆ แบบฝรั่งก็สามารถอยู่ได้ยาวๆ เลยนะจิบกาแฟ ทำงาน WFH ล้่อมรอบโดยธรรมชาติ แต่เส้นทางมาที่ร้านก็ลำบากหน่อยเหมาะกับคนที่ local จริงๆ low time ระดับหนึ่ง ท้ายสุดผมเองก็แจกสติกเกอร์ของพี่แชมป์เอาไปให้เจ้าของร้านแจกกันต่อไป  งานนี้ทั้งข้าวเหนียวมะม่วงและน้ำแก้วมังกรปั่น เสีย sats ไปทั้งหมด 6,050 sats แต่สิ่งที่ได้คือการแลกเปลี่ยนมุมมองกับเจ้าของร้านกับจุดเริ่มต้นของการรับบิทคอยในพื้นที่เกาะช้างแห่งนี้ และหากมีโอกาสอาจจะไปพักอยู่แถวนั้นชักอาทิตย์และแวะมาอุดหนุนร้านนี้ตลอด เพราะวิวฝั่งใต้สุดของเกาะช้างก็ยังคงความสวยงามไม่แพ้กับฝั่งทิศตะวันตกที่ฝรั่งอยู่กัน แต่ฝั่งใต้โซนนี้ก็มีความที่เป็นบ้านไม้ เพิงง่ายๆ ที่ชาวต่างชาติชอบกันอยู่ :) Google-map: https://maps.app.goo.gl/b45JGeTzL6Lwwi9i9 BTC-map: https://btcmap.org/merchant/node:12416107504 --- ### **Koh Chang Wine Gallery **  และเราก็ย้อนกลับมาอีกร้านหนึ่งในวันถัดไปและเป็นวันที่จะต้องออกจากเกาะช้างเช่นเดียวกัน และผมก็ไม่พลาดร้าน Koh Chang Wine Gallery ตั้งอยู่ในโซนหมู่บ้านแหล่งท่องเที่ยวเส้นทางถนนทางตะวันตก ร้านนี้ไม่ได้มีป้ายรับบิทคอย แต่รับชำระด้วยบิทคอยซึ่งเป็นฝรั่งท่านหนึ่งที่คาดว่าน่าจะแต่งงานกับภรรยาคนไทย เป็นร้านสไตล์แบบฝรั่งเลย ผมเองก็สั่งสเต็กเนื้อไป และน้ำมะม่วงปั่น (ไม่รู้เวลาไปเกาะทีไรติดใจกับน้ำมะม่วงปั่น) อาจจะไม่ได้พูดคุยอะไรมากมายนัก แต่ก็หมดไป 32,620 sats เป็นร้านอาหารเช้าและอาหารแนวฝรั่งตรงๆ ถือว่าค่อนข้างอร่อยใช้ได้ดีเลยทีเดียว แต่หากจะจ่ายด้วยบิทคอยก็ต้องแจ้งก่อนนะว่าขอจ่ายด้วยบิทคอยก่อน เหมือนพี่ฝรั่งที่เขารับตอนนี้ก็รับแต่เฉพาะ bitcoin อย่างเดียวเมื่อก่อนรับ xrp กับ doge ด้วยแต่ผมเองเวลาคุยกับฝรั่งก็เหงื่อแตกเหมือนกัน (รึว่าเพราะมันร้อน บนเกาะก็อบอ้าวใช้ได้ 555+)    Google-map: https://maps.app.goo.gl/6QbNgRbiV5Uao2Xz8 BTC-map: https://btcmap.org/merchant/node:11461720813 --- เส้นทางไปร้านค่อนข้างง่ายติดถนนในหมู่บ้าน ซึ่งหากมายังเกาะช้างแล้วหากขึ้นฝั่งมาแล้วเลี้ยวขวาก็จะขับรถหรือนั่งรถมาเส้นถนนฝั่งตะวันตกของเกาะก็จะพบกับร้านนี้ก่อน อันนี้แล้วแต่ความสะดวกแต่ละท่านเลยครับหากได้มีโอกาสแวะมาเกาะช้างและอยากใช้จ่าย bitcoin เราก็มีทางเลือกร้านในสองสไตล์กันเลย แบบวิถีฝรั่งตอนเช้าก็ร้าน Koh Chang Wine Gallery หรือ แบบ Local ก็ Mr. A Coffee หรือไปทังคู่เลยจะดีมากแต่ต้องบ้าหน่อย เพราะเส้นทางไปก็ค่อนข้างลำบากพอควรเหมือนกัน หมายถึงมีภูเขาชันมีทางขึ้นลงหักศอกนิดหน่อยก็เท่านั้นเอง รวมๆ ทริปบนเกาะช้างนี้ก็หมดไปไม่เยอะมาก 38,670 sats ก็จะตัวลอยเบาๆ หน่อย (สำรวจเมื่อ มีนาคม 2025 อนาคตอาจจะมีการเปลี่ยนแปลงได้) สำหรับจากนี้จะเป็นการ ปสก. ส่วนตัวกับการใช้งาน Bitcoin Lightning ตามสถานที่ที่ได้เดินทาง Part 3 จะเป็นสถานที่ในพื้นที่หาดใหญ่ จังหวัดสงขลา และ เสริมประสบการณ์การเดินทางโดยรถไฟระยะเวลาเกือบ 18 ชั่วโมง พร้อมด้วยมิตรสหายในรังอย่างกัปตัน จะป่วนแค่ไหนก็รอติดตามกันครับ :)

Nostr is a decentralized, censorship-resistant social media protocol designed to give users control over online interactions without relying on central authorities. While its architecture offers notable advantages, it also introduces challenges, particularly concerning user anonymity, content moderation, and the dynamics of user influence.​ Anonymity and the Risk of Bullying Nostr's design allows users to create identities without traditional verification methods like email addresses or phone numbers. Instead, users generate a cryptographic key pair: a public key serving as their identifier and a private key for signing messages. This approach enhances privacy but can lead to the "online disinhibition effect," where individuals feel less accountable for their actions due to perceived anonymity. This phenomenon has been linked to increased instances of cyberbullying, as users may engage in behavior online that they would avoid in face-to-face interactions. ​ Influence Disparities Among Users In decentralized networks like Nostr, users with larger followings can have a more extensive reach, amplifying their messages across the network. This can create disparities where individuals with thousands of followers wield more influence than those with fewer connections. While this dynamic is not unique to Nostr, the protocol's structure may exacerbate the visibility gap between highly followed users and those with a smaller audience.​ Content Moderation and the Challenge of Deletion Due to Nostr's decentralized nature, content moderation and deletion present significant challenges. Removing content to multiple relays becomes complex once a user posts content to multiple relays, as each relay operates independently. Unlike centralized platforms where a post can be deleted universally, Nostr's architecture means that deleting a post from one relay doesn't ensure its removal from others. This persistence underscores the importance of thoughtful posting, as content may remain accessible indefinitely. ​ Mitigation Strategies and User Empowerment Despite these challenges, Nostr offers mechanisms to empower users to manage their experience. Clients can implement features allowing users to mute or block others, tailoring their interactions and content exposure. Additionally, some clients support user-led moderation, enabling individuals to label content as offensive or inappropriate, contributing to a community-driven approach to content management. ​ In summary, while Nostr's decentralized and anonymous framework promotes freedom and resistance to censorship, it also necessitates a proactive approach from users to navigate challenges related to anonymity, influence disparities, and content permanence.

## 🧠Quote(s) of the week: CBDC the digital euro - a centralized solution in search of a problem. While the ECB may see it as a way to 'modernize' finance, true innovation comes from empowering individuals, not consolidating control. CBDCs are just surveillance tools disguised as innovation. Bitcoin is the only true digital money—decentralized, scarce, and free. Stack sats, not CBDCs. ## 🧡Bitcoin news🧡 2025 https://i.ibb.co/vx988kT1/Gn-Ix-Dp-YWs-AASkiw.jpg On the 24th of March: ➡️The Pakistan central bank is exploring mining Bitcoin with excess electricity. ➡️'MicroStrategy just added another 7,000 Bitcoin to their treasury. They're now holding over 506,000 BTC ($44 billion). Look at the corporate Bitcoin ownership breakdown: - MicroStrategy: 506,000+ BTC - Marathon: ~46,000 BTC (10x smaller) - Riot: ~19,000 BTC (26x smaller) That acquisition curve has gone parabolic since Q4 2024. Strategy's buying pace now rivals what we're seeing from the Bitcoin ETFs, a single public company absorbing supply at an institutional scale. Clear institutional conviction signal here.' -Ecoinometrics ➡️SQUARE CEO JACK DORSEY: "Bitcoin will make the current financial system feel as irrelevant as the fax machine." On the 25th of March: ➡️'BITCOIN HASH-RIBBON FLASHES BUY SIGNAL  - This is one of the most reliable "buy" indicators.  - Significant price gains have followed 7 out of the last 7 times this indicator was triggered.' -Bitcoin Archive (foto) Bitcoin is always a buy.

It's time for such communities to appear more around the world. Daniel Batten: 'They couldn't resist zooming out and implying this is an outlier (it isn't, the majority of off-grid bitcoin mining operations are renewably powered). In doing so BBC made three factually incorrect statements at the end about Bitcoin mining straining grids (multiple peer-reviewed studies show the opposite is true), and "Greenidge gas power plant in New York which was renovated to mine bitcoin" (it didn't, it re-opened to supply power back to the grid), and stating that Bitcoin mining needs artificial govt incentives or rules to do the right thing (It doesn't, it's become 56.7% sustainably powered without any govt incentives) But let's shine the light on the positive - it has far fewer factually incorrect statements than previous reporting, and it is a step in the right direction in its gradual journey towards objective Bitcoin reporting for a media company that has until now only published negative news stories on Bitcoin.' ➡️Femke Halsema, Mayor of Amsterdam, wants a national ban on Bitcoin payments: "It undermines our civilization". I rather believe the opposite. Under Femke Halsema - Amsterdam - The number of civil servants increased by 50% (14K -> 20K) - Debt increased by 150% (4 billion -> approx. 10 billion) Despite high revenues, Amsterdam has to borrow nearly half a billion euros every year. Local taxes continue to rise, whether it's water authority taxes or property taxes (OZB). But, above all, you should be concerned about those 0.3% criminal Bitcoin / Crypto transactions (worldwide). The audacity. Even if the Netherlands were to legally ban Bitcoin payments, users could easily continue trading through foreign exchanges or peer-to-peer platforms. A ban might actually push Bitcoin usage further underground, making oversight of suspicious transactions worse rather than better. ➡️Mt.

Then, after the market closed on Friday, S&P 500 futures erased ANOTHER -$120 billion in minutes.' -TKL ## 🏦Banks:  👉🏽 no news ## 🌎Macro/Geopolitics: On the 24th of March: 👉🏽Financelot: 'This is fascinating. The Dow Jones to Gold Ratio is about to cross a level only seen 4 times in history. Every time it crossed this level it marked the beginning of an 18-month recession/depression. 1929, 1973, 2008 & 2025' I don't think we won't see a depression. History rhymes but doesn't always mean it will repeat, although human behavior stays the same. For now, it means the market is overvalued, gold is undervalued, or both. 👉🏽US household wealth is falling: US household equity wealth is set to drop a whopping -$3 trillion this quarter, the most since the 2022 bear market, according to BofA estimates. By comparison, equity holdings rose +$9 trillion in 2024 to a record $56 trillion. In other words, one-third of last year's gains have likely been wiped out due to the recent market pullback. Furthermore, the top 10% of the wealthiest Americans own 87% of US stocks. This, in turn, may negatively impact consumer spending as the top 10% reflect a record 50% of all consumer expenditures. Consumer spending is set to slow in Q2 2025.' -TKL 👉🏽Demolition of the Boiler House at Moorburg Power Plant in Hamburg. Germany is preparing for combat by dynamiting its own modern energy infrastructure down. This was the most advanced coal plant. 6 years old and cost three billion euros. The Netherlands is following a similar policy—they poured concrete into their gas drilling pipes. BowTiedMara on Twitter: "In 2022, a girl tied herself to the net at Roland Garros in protest, and she wore a T-shirt that said: "We have 1,028 days left." Today, the 27th of March, marks those 1,028 days, and nothing happened. Climate doomers are like Aztecs who think the sun stops unless they cut out some organs." 👉🏽Starting in April, the 66,000 employees of the European institutions will receive their seventh salary increase in just three years! Normally, this happens at most once per year. The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, will see the largest increase, with her monthly salary rising to €34,800—an increase of €2,700—according to a report by the German newspaper Bild-Zeitung today. For the Dutch readers: https://ejbron.wordpress.com/2025/03/24/eu-bureaucraten-en-politici-krijgen-de-7e-salarisverhoging-sinds-2022/ They are compensating for the inflation they impose on the EU. Lucky them Fair to say we need a DOGE in Europe. On the 25th of March: 👉🏽Dutch minister announces a huge increase in excise duties of 25.8 cents on gasoline. On top of that, the price of gasoline will rise by an additional 7 cents due to the blending requirement and 11 cents due to the ETS-2 regulation. In a free market, prices would not be announced by politicians but would emerge through supply and demand. How I love the EU....although it is a bit more nuanced. The temporary discount is ending. Unless the parliament decides to extend it, the price of gasoline will rise. The Dutch government should simply spend less and abolish all taxes, excise duties, and levies on food, fuel, and energy. Never gonna happen though. 👉🏽"Shell will be thoroughly reviewing all its chemical divisions worldwide in the coming period. In Europe, this could lead to the partial or complete closure of various chemical branches." As mentioned multiple times last month, major industrial companies sounded the alarm. They warned that high energy costs in the Netherlands put their future at risk. Additionally, sustainability efforts and unclear government policies are challenging the sector. Frans Everts, President-Director of Shell Netherlands, warned that the entire industry could collapse. The Green Deal is moving full speed ahead—soon everyone will be relying on food banks… For the Dutch readers: https://nos.nl/artikel/2561036-shell-kijkt-naar-gedeeltelijke-sluiting-van-chemie-onderdelen On the 26th of March: 👉🏽EU countries will start using a digital driver’s license from 2030. This is the result of negotiations between the European Parliament and EU member states. In the Netherlands, the digital license will be valid for ten years and will be accessible via an app. And we all know which app that will be! The EU Digital Wallet must be filled, after all. Not just your driver’s license—everything will soon be linked to your digital identity. It’s all right there on the EU’s website, and it’s been planned for a long time. The COVID pass was already part of the rollout. The fact that they present these as separate steps just shows that they know people wouldn’t accept it if they were fully aware of what’s happening. On the 27th of March: 👉🏽Gold surpasses $3,100 for the first time in history. TKL: 'Gold prices have hit 50 all-time highs over the last 12 months, its best streak in 12 years. This is also the 3rd-longest streak on record after a historic run during the late 1970s. The 1970s came with a period of double-digit inflation, stagnant economic growth, and a high unemployment rate, also known as stagflation. As a result, gold prices recorded 4 consecutive yearly gains.' On the 31st of March for the first time, gold blasted through $100,000/kilogram. This time, gold prices have rallied 39% over the last 12 months, are up 16% year-to-date, and are on track for the 3rd annual positive performance.' 👉🏽NATO Secretary General Rutte insists there will be no normalization of relations with Russia for decades to come. On March 14, 2025, Bloomberg, Rutte says: "Once the war is over, relations with Russia will gradually be restored." On March 26, 2025, Rutte said: "There will be no normalization of relations with Russia for decades, even after the war is over." That is the Mark I know! "Mark Rutte, the long-serving Dutch Prime Minister, earned the nickname “Pinokkio” (Dutch for Pinocchio) primarily because of perceived dishonesty or evasiveness in political debates and scandals. While some still view Rutte as a pragmatic and stable leader, the nickname “Pinokkio” reflects a broader public sentiment of distrust, especially among those who felt betrayed by his communication style or decisions.” On the 28th of March: 👉🏽US consumers now expect 5.0%(!) inflation in the next twelve months. Inflation expectations have DOUBLED in just four months. That's huge! Long-term US inflation expectations have officially SURGED to 4.1%, the highest level since 1993. Tariff front-running has led to a $300+ BILLION trade deficit in 2 months, and consumer sentiment has collapsed. Atlanta Fed is now projecting that Q1 GDP will be -2.8%… a large contraction. It’s negative even “gold adjusted” 4 weeks ago it was +2.3% 8 weeks ago it was +3.9% Yikes! 👉🏽The State Department is officially shutting down USAID and has formally notified Congress of its closure. The remaining 900 employees are set to be terminated. 👉🏽Argentina’s Economy Grows 6.5% in January. Argentina’s Poverty Rate Drops from 52.9% to 38.1% in 15 Months Under Javier Milei 👉🏽Fix the money, fix the world: DOGE “There is actually really only ONE BANK ACCOUNT that's used to disperse ALL monies that go out of the federal government” “It's a big one — A couple of weeks ago it had $800 billion in it, it's the treasury general account” “We're serving 580+ agencies. And up until very recently, effectively they could say, make the payment and Treasury just sent it out as fast as possible. NO VERIFICATION” “There's a $500 billion of fraud every year. There are hundreds of billion dollars of improper payments and we can't pass an audit. The consolidated financial report is produced by treasury and we cannot pass an audit” Extremely fascinating interview by Bret Baier with the highly talented and competent DOGE team, which is rigorously streamlining the U.S. government bureaucracy. This work can only be done by competent (and motivated) outsiders with experience. Also urgently needed in the Netherlands, and in Europe. On the 29th of March: 👉🏽'US debt has been "limited" by the $36.104 trillion debt ceiling since January but the liabilities don't stop rising. As of today, US debt is now ~$37 trillion. Treasury has burned through $560BN of its cash balance in the past month. Just $280BN left.' -ZeroHedge On the 1st of April: In recent weeks, I have shared my opinion on the latest Dutch pension fund drama. This week: https://i.ibb.co/96ZhS0W/Gn-XEVQRXw-AM6b0-A.jpg APG and pension funds refused to invest in Dutch housing (for political reasons). This involved 25 billion euros. Currently we almost have a political scandal over a medal, but the fact that our pension system is being put at risk...no biggie!? For our own housing market? “Too political.” For war and Brussels' military ambitions? €100,000,000,000—no problem. They’re gambling with your pension while first-time buyers can’t afford a home and seniors struggle to make ends meet. Our money, their agenda. Got Bitcoin? I will end this Weekly Recap with a Stanley Druckenmiller quote: "My favorite quote of all time is maybe Mark Twain: "Put all your eggs in one basket and watch the basket carefully."

# Bartering and early money \ Early societies bartered goods, but transactions were often complicated. The value of goods doesn’t always align. Enter money. It’s used as an indirect exchange for any goods, so everyone wants it. Early money wasn’t anything like what we use today. For example, the inhabitants of Yap Island (Micronesia) used large Rai stones for trade. New stones were dragged up a hill for everyone to see. The owner would then exchange part of the stone for goods and services. As they were hard to quarry and move, Rai stones retained their value (salability). Then, an Irish-American captain started importing stones using modern technology. Soon enough, they became so common, they no longer worked as money. --- # Gold — the basis for sound money \ Smelting made it possible to create highly salable and transportable coins. Gold was best because it’s virtually impossible to destroy and can’t be synthesized using other materials. It has a fairly limited supply, which grows slowly and predictably (due to the difficulty of mining). Technologies like the telegraph and trains made it easier for both people and goods to get from point A to point B. That, in turn, justified forms of payment like checks, paper receipts, and bills. But paper is not worth much unless it’s backed by something. Governments worldwide issued paper money backed by precious metals, which they stored in vaults. By 1900, around 50 countries had adopted the Gold Standard. This was sound money. --- # Currencies devalued \ Roman emperor Julius Caesar issued the Aureus, an empire-standard coin containing 8 grams of gold. But as growth began to slow, rulers started ‘coin clipping’, reducing the quantity of precious metal in coins. This eventually triggered a series of economic crises that led to the downfall of the Roman Empire. The gold standard had one major flaw: it had to be stored in bank vaults. This created a highly centralized system in which governments controlled the value of paper money. If they wanted to, they could always increase the supply of money without increasing the corresponding amount of gold. In 1914, nearly every major European power decided to do this to fund their war operations. Rather than raising taxes, they simply printed new money with no extra gold. The standard had been abandoned. --- # Government-backed money \ Governments chose to introduce fiat money – currency backed by decree rather than gold. The adoption of the fiat system led to an age of unsound money shaped by ever-greater intervention in the economy as governments scrambled to stabilize their currencies. By 1944, the end of the Second World War was in sight, and the victors began planning the postwar economic order. The world’s currencies would be tied to the US dollar at a fixed exchange rate. The dollar would in turn be tied to the value of gold, again at a fixed rate. The United States bent the rules and inflated its own currency compared to gold. Other nations inflated their currencies compared to the dollar. On August 15, 1971, President Nixon announced that dollars would no longer be convertible to gold. --- # Sound money = functioning economy \ Sound money encourages people to save and invest, enabling sustainable, long-term growth. Why? Well, humans have a natural positive time preference: we prefer instant gratification over future gratification. Sound money prompts us to think more about the future. The more capital accumulation there is, the greater the chance of stable, long-term economic growth. Unsound money distorts capital accumulation. When governments interfere with the money supply, they also interfere with prices. And prices give investors the information they need to make good decisions without having to learn every tiny detail about global events. --- # Recessions and debt arise from unsound money \ Government interference takes the form of central planning. No single person, agency, or department ever has access to all the information necessary to understand the vast and complex economy. Interventions distort markets, creating boom and bust cycles. According to Keynes and his followers, the best way to respond to recessions is to increase spending. You could lower taxes, but people don’t usually spend their extra money. Raising taxes is unpopular, so governments invariably decide to increase the money supply. Saving becomes less attractive, creating a culture of unwise spending and growing debt. We need to return to sound money and a new gold standard. Enter bitcoin. --- # Bitcoin is scarce \ Bitcoin has similar traits to gold. Its supply is literally fixed. Once there are 21 million bitcoins in circulation, no more will be issued. The supply grows at a diminishing rate. Computers across the Bitcoin network pool their processing power to solve complex algorithmic problems. Once these puzzles have been cracked, the “miners” receive bitcoins as a reward. Satoshi Nakamoto designed the system to avoid gold rushes. The algorithmic problems become more difficult to solve as the number of computers working on them rises, guaranteeing a steady and reliable supply. Also, the number of bitcoins issued is halved every four years, resulting in ever-smaller releases until 2140, after which no more coins will be released. That makes bitcoin unique. It is the only good that is defined by absolute scarcity. No amount of time or resources can create more bitcoins than the programmed supply allows. The supply cannot be manipulated, making it a perfect store of value. --- # Bitcoin is secure \ The bitcoin ledger uses the public blockchain. When mining computers crack an algorithmic puzzle, they create a block. The blocks on the ledger contain details about every blockchain transaction ever completed. Every network user can view this information. Ownership of bitcoins is only valid once it’s been registered on the blockchain. This is only possible if the majority of network users approve it, so there’s no need for a central authority to oversee transactions. While verifying new blocks requires virtually no energy, creating a fraudulent block would cost a significant amount of processing power. Even if a user decided to expend vast amounts of energy and successfully hacked a majority of all network nodes to approve a fraudulent block, they’d gain very little. Trust in bitcoin would be lost, leading to a drop in demand and value. --- # Challenges for adoption \ Because bitcoin is new, demand has varied. The volatile price has, at times, undermined the currency’s status as an effective store of value. Bitcoin’s transaction limit is currently set at 500,000 per day. That could be increased, but there will always be a daily cap. The more transactions that take place, the more nodes there’ll need to be. This increases transaction fees and the amount of processing power expended. Bitcoin could be traded off the blockchain, meaning currencies will be backed by bitcoin. That would create a new standard, but it would also mean that new centralized institutions would need to manage this system. ---  This 5-minute summary did not use copyrighted material from the book. It aims simply to give readers a quick understanding of the book (which is well worth reading). ‘*The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking’* was written by economist Saifedean Ammous in 2018.

#TheWholeGrain - #March2025 March of 2025 was a standard month for Bread and Toast. However, it did include a the occasional five Sunday Singles which seems like hitting the jackpot! Talk about lucky! Included with the five Sunday Singles was two more pages of the Adventure Series: Questline where we saw Bread, Toast, and End-Piece face off against their first adversary! End-Piece made a first appearance for in Toast's Comic Collection under the title E: The Last Slice while the Concept Art piece was the original drawing of all three slices of bread together. And, last of all we updated the Bitcoin logo because why not!? **Sunday Singles - March 2025** 2025-03-02 | Sunday Single 82 Title: Slingshot! *Watch out!

I was reading this passage last night: > …from that time when one came to a grain heap of twenty measures, there would be only ten; and when one came to the wine vat to draw fifty measures, there would be only twenty. I smote you and every work of your hands with blasting wind, mildew and hail; **yet you did not come back to Me**,’ declares the Lord. ‘Do consider from this day onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month; from the day when the temple of the Lord was founded, consider: Is the seed still in the barn? Even including the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree, it has not borne fruit. **Yet from this day on I will bless you**.’ ” (Haggai 2:16-19) {emphasis mine} Why were bad things happening to the Israelites? Because they were not following God. Why did God allow these difficult situations to occur? Because God was calling them back to Himself. This made me think of several times lately, when I had written about Christians going through hard times, that fellow believers had tried to kindly correct me implying that God would not allow these painful things to happen to believers. They were trying to defend God’s honor, but instead they were degrading God. If God is not in control of everything, then either God is unable to protect His own from harm because of sin or bad things happened accidentally and God ignored the injustice. Saying God was not in control of allowing every hardship is either saying God isn’t strong enough, isn’t smart enough, or isn’t loving enough. The God I serve is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, and love incarnate. He also didn’t promise us easy, pleasant lives, but did promise that good would come out of every situation. > And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28) When Jesus walked on earth and some people said they wanted to follow Him, His response was not what we would expect: > And He was saying to them all, “**If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me**. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it. For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits himself? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. (Luke 9:23-26) {emphasis mine} When one particular man said that he would follow Jesus anywhere, Jesus responded this way. > As they were going along the road, someone said to Him, “I will follow You wherever You go.” And Jesus said to him, “**The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head**.” (Luke 9:57-58) {emphasis mine} Jesus was brutally honest that following Him would not be easy or comfortable. Following Jesus is more likely to lead to hardship and persecution that prosperity and comfort. > “Then **they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name**. At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold. But **the one who endures to the end, he will be saved**. This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:9-14) {emphasis mine} Of course God isn’t putting us through hardship to torture us. He is putting us in situations to grow our faith and dependence on Him, i.e. Abraham. He is putting us in situations where we can minister to others, i.e. Joseph. He is using us as examples of faith to others, i.e. Job. Any hardship has an eternal purpose. Sometimes we can see it (at least eventually) if we are looking for God’s will and plan. Sometime we won’t see what He was accomplishing until we get to heaven. Still we need to trust God through it all, knowing His plan is perfect. > “**For my thoughts are not your thoughts,\ > neither are your ways my ways**,”\ > declares the Lord. > > “As the heavens are higher than the earth,\ > so are **my ways higher than your ways**\ > and my thoughts than your thoughts. > > As the rain and the snow\ > come down from heaven,\ > and do not return to it\ > without watering the earth\ > and making it bud and flourish,\ > so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,\ > so is **my word that goes out from my mouth:\ > It will not return to me empty,\ > but will accomplish what I desire\ > and achieve the purpose for which I sent it**. (Isaiah 55:8-11) {emphasis mine} God understands how hard it is to understand what He is accomplishing. We live in the here and now while He is outside time and space and therefore has a heavenly and eternal perspective that we will never truly have this side of heaven. He has told us how the story ends, so that we can have peace and trust Him through whatever circumstances He has blessed us. > Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? Behold, an hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered, each to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. **These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world**.” (John 16:31-33) {emphasis mine} In fact, Jesus made this so clear that His disciples rejoiced in persecution they received due to obeying Him and sharing His word. > They took his advice; and after calling the apostles in, they flogged them and ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and *then* released them. So they went on their way from the presence of the Council, **rejoicing that they had been considered worthy to suffer shame for *His* name**. (Acts 5:40-41) {emphasis mine} Peter specifically warns believers to expect trials and hardship. > Dear friends, **do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you**. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. **If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed**, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. However, **if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God** that you bear that name. For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? And, > > “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved,\ > what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?” > > So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good. (1 Peter 4:12-19) {emphasis mine} Paul writes about begging God to take away a health issue. Eventually he accepted it as part of God’s plan for his life and boasted gladly in his hardship. > …Therefore, in order **to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn** in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times **I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you**, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore **I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me**. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:7b-10) {emphasis mine} No matter what hardships we experience in life, whether poverty or persecution or poor health or loss of a loved one or any other hardship, God is with us working everything for our good. > Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Just as it is written, > > “For Your sake we are being put to death all day long;\ > We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” > ****But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us**. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:35-39) {emphasis mine} I like to look at the story of Joseph as an example of God’s extraordinary plan in the life of a faithful believer. Joseph trusted and honored God. God had a plan for Joseph to be used to save the lives of his family and the people of the Middle East from famine, but God didn’t just instantly put Joseph in a position of power to help. He prepared Joseph and slowly moved him to where he needed to be. First Josephs brothers wanted to kill him out of jealousy, but God used greed to get them to sell Joseph as a slave instead. He orchestrated the right slave traders to walk by at the right time so that Joseph would wind up in the house of Potiphar, the Pharaoh’s guard. Then when Joseph acted honorably towards God, his master, and his master’s wife, Joseph was sent to jail for years. I’m sure Joseph was wondering why God would send him to prison for doing what was right, but it put him into the presence of the cupbearer of Pharaoh. A long time after correctly interpreting the cup bearer’s dream, Joseph was called up to interpret Pharaoh’s dream, put in charge of the famine preparation and became second in command after Pharaoh. Joseph, after years of slavery and jail time, was now the second most powerful man in the Middle East, if not the world. God had a plan, but it was hard to see until its completion. In the same way, Job lost his wealth, his children, his health, and his reputation, but remember that Satan had to get God’s permission before anything could be done to hurt Job. So many people today are blessed by seeing Job’s response to hardship and loss, by seeing Job’s faith, his struggle, and his submission to God’s plan. In this case God even gives Job more after this time of testing than he had before. When we experience hardship we need to know that God has a plan for our life. It may be something amazing here on Earth. It may be souls won for Christ. It may be to prepare us for heaven. Whatever the case, it is for our good. We don’t need to be ashamed that God would allow hardship. We grow most when we experience hardship. Our light shines brightest in darkness. > Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!\ > How unsearchable his judgments,\ > and his paths beyond tracing out!\ > “Who has known the mind of the Lord?\ > Or who has been his counselor?”\ > “Who has ever given to God,\ > that God should repay them?”\ > For from him and through him and for him are all things.\ > To him be the glory forever! Amen. (Romans 11:33-36) Trust Jesus

O Bitcoin e as criptomoedas surgiram como uma alternativa descentralizada ao sistema financeiro tradicional. No entanto, no Brasil, o **Sistema Financeiro Nacional (SFN)** tem adotado medidas para controlar e limitar a exposição de investidores e instituições a esses ativos. Neste artigo, exploraremos as principais resoluções e regulamentações que restringem o investimento em Bitcoin no país. ## **O Posicionamento do Banco Central do Brasil (Bacen)**  O Banco Central do Brasil (Bacen) e outros órgãos reguladores, como a **Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM)**, têm adotado uma postura cautelosa em relação às criptomoedas. ### **Resolução Bacen nº 4.753/2021** - Proíbe que instituições financeiras ofereçam serviços de criptomoedas em suas carteiras sem autorização prévia. - Restringe bancos e corretoras de operarem diretamente com criptoativos, limitando sua integração ao sistema financeiro tradicional. ### **Comunicado do Bacen sobre Riscos das Criptomoedas** - O Bacen já emitiu alertas sobre os riscos de volatilidade, fraudes e falta de garantias em investimentos em Bitcoin. - Recomenda que investidores tratem criptomoedas como ativos de alto risco. --- ## A CVM e as Restrições a Fundos de Investimento em Bitcoin A **CVM** tem sido mais restritiva que o Bacen em relação a produtos financeiros baseados em criptomoedas. ### **Deliberação CVM nº 175/2022** - Proíbe fundos de investimento no exterior (FIE) de alocarem mais de **10% do patrimônio** em criptomoedas. - Impede que fundos multimercados brasileiros tenham exposição direta a Bitcoin e outras criptomoedas. ### **Instrução CVM nº 555/2021** - Estabelece que **ETFs de Bitcoin** não podem ser comercializados no Brasil sem aprovação expressa da CVM. - Até hoje, nenhum ETF de criptomoeda foi aprovado no país. --- ## **Tributação e Controles da Receita Federal** Além das restrições do Bacen e da CVM, a **Receita Federal** impõe regras rígidas para transações em Bitcoin: ### **Instrução Normativa RFB nº 1.888/2019** - Obriga declaração de todas as operações em criptomoedas acima de **R$ 35 mil** por mês. - Tributa ganhos de capital em criptomoedas em **15% a 22,5%**, dependendo do valor. --- ## **O Bitcoin Sob Vigilância do SFN** O Sistema Financeiro Nacional tem adotado medidas para **limitar a adoção em massa do Bitcoin**, seja por meio de regulamentações rígidas, restrições a fundos ou alertas sobre riscos. Enquanto o mercado de criptomoedas cresce globalmente, no Brasil ainda há um **cenário de cautela e controle**, com o SFN buscando evitar que criptomoedas desafiem a hegemonia do sistema financeiro tradicional.

You can follow the work in progress here in this pull request [https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/68](https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/68) on Github. Before my 3-month break (Dec/Jan/Feb) working on Nostr-PHP I started with the NIP-19 integration in October '24. Encoding and decoding the simple prefixes (`npub`, `nsec` and `note`) was already done in the first commits. Learn more about NIP-19 here: [https://nips.nostr.com/19](https://nips.nostr.com/19)  ### **TLV's** Things were getting more complicated with the other prefixes / identifiers defined in NIP-19: * `nevent` * `naddr` * `nprofile` This is because these identifiers contain (optional) metadata called Type-Lenght-Value aka TLV's. _When sharing a profile or an event, an app may decide to include relay information and other metadata such that other apps can locate and display these entities more easily._ _For these events, the contents are a binary-encoded list of_ `_TLV_` _(type-length-value), with_ `_T_` _and_ `_L_` _being 1 byte each (_`_uint8_`_, i.e. a number in the range of 0-255), and_ `_V_` _being a sequence of bytes of the size indicated by_ `_L_`_._ These possible standardized `TLV` types are: * `0`_:_ `special` * _depends on the bech32 prefix:_ * _for_ `nprofile` _it will be the 32 bytes of the profile public key_ * _for_ `nevent` _it will be the 32 bytes of the event id_ * _for_ `naddr`_, it is the identifier (the_ `"d"` _tag) of the event being referenced. For normal replaceable events use an empty string._ * `1`_:_ `relay` * _for_ `nprofile`_,_ `nevent` _and_  `naddr`_, optionally, a relay in which the entity (profile or event) is more likely to be found, encoded as ascii_ * _this may be included multiple times_ * `2`_:_ `author` * _for_ `naddr`_, the 32 bytes of the pubkey of the event_ * _for_ `nevent`_, optionally, the 32 bytes of the pubkey of the event_ * `3`_:_ `kind` * _for_ `naddr`_, the 32-bit unsigned integer of the kind, big-endian_ * _for_ `nevent`_, optionally, the 32-bit unsigned integer of the kind, big-endian_ These identifiers are formatted as bech32 strings, but are much longer than the package `bitwasp/bech32` (used in the library) for can handle for encoding and decoding. The bech32 strings handled by `bitwasp/bech32` are limited to a maximum length of 90 characters. Thanks to the effort of others (nostr:npub1636uujeewag8zv8593lcvdrwlymgqre6uax4anuq3y5qehqey05sl8qpl4 and nostr:npub1efz8l77esdtpw6l359sjvakm7azvyv6mkuxphjdk3vfzkgxkatrqlpf9s4) during my break, some contributions are made (modifiying the bech32 package supporting much longer strings, up to a max of 5000 characters). At this moment, I'm integrating this (mostly copy-pasting the stuff and refactoring the code): * [https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/issues/74](https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/issues/74) * [https://github.com/nostriphant/nip-19](https://github.com/nostriphant/nip-19) ### **So what's next?** * NIP-19 code housekeeping + refactoring * Prepare a new release with NIP-19 integration * Create documentation page how to use NIP-19 on [https://nostr-php.dev](https://nostr-php.dev)

I've always loved Westbrook. He plays so hard and does things through sheer force of will that no one else has ever been able to do. He's also the last guy you want on the court at the end of close games. No one has ever so reliably made poor choices in late game, or even just end of clock, situations. Here are some highlights from the epic Nuggets vs T-Wolves game, which Russ completely blew at the end. https://youtu.be/rgtzQxRpH6c I've said before that I think Russ' career +/- would be 4 points higher if coaches had never let him play at the ends of quarters. Translation for non-analytics nerds: Russ has blown virtually every final possession throughout his entire career. It's unbelievable. Is there anyone I'm overlooking as a worse clutch performer? originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/932077

We value sovereignty, privacy and security when accessing online content, using several tools to achieve this, like open protocols, open OSes, open software products, Tor and VPNs. ## The problem Talking about our social presence, we can manually build up our follower list (social graph), pick a Nostr client that is respectful of our preferences on what to show and how, but with the standard following mechanism, our main feed is public, so **everyone can actually snoop what we are interested in**, and what is supposable that we read daily. ## The solution Nostr has a simple solution for this necessity: **encrypted lists**. Lists are what they appear, a collection of people or interests (but they can also group much other stuff, see [NIP-51](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/51.md)). So we can create lists with contacts that we don't have in our main social graph; these lists can be used primarily to create dedicated feeds, but they could have other uses, for example, related to monitoring. The interesting thing about lists is that they can also be encrypted, so unlike the basic following list, which is always public, **we can hide the lists' content from others**. The implications are obvious: we can not only have a more organized way to browse content, but it is also **really private one**. One might wonder what use can really be made of private lists; here are some examples: * Browse “can't miss” content from users I consider a priority; * Supervise competitors or adversarial parts; * Monitor sensible topics (tags); * Following someone without being publicly associated with them, as this may be undesirable; The benefits in terms of privacy as usual are not only related to the casual, or programmatic, observer, but are also evident when we think of **how many bots scan our actions to profile us**. ## The current state Unfortunately, lists are not widely supported by Nostr clients, and encrypted support is a rarity. Often the excuse to not implement them is that they are harder to develop, since they require managing the encryption stuff ([NIP-44](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/44.md)). Nevertheless, developers have an **easier option** to start offering private lists: give the user **the possibility to simply mark them as local-only**, and never push them to the relays. Even if the user misses the sync feature, this is sufficient to create a private environment. To date, as far as I know, the best client with list management is [Gossip](nostr:npub189j8y280mhezlp98ecmdzydn0r8970g4hpqpx3u9tcztynywfczqqr3tg8), which permits to manage **both encrypted and local-only lists**. Beg your Nostr client to implement private lists!

 When selling goods or services, you might want to consider using an auction format to maximize your profits and customer satisfaction. For those of us that don't know, selling through auction is the way where the price of the item is determined by the bids of the buyers, rather than by the seller. It's an interesting approach when trying to attract more buyers and generate more exposure. It can generate a buzz around your item and business, drawing attention from potential buyers who might not otherwise be interested, with any healthier word-of-mouth marketing and social media sharing. Lately I've been reserching on this topic, thinking on how it could be implemented here on SN. Exploring other forums with more and fewer functionalities, have noticed that some really dive in with years of experience, trust build systems and the ability to offer this service with honesty and confidence. It's curious to see how all this started back in Babylon around 500 B.C., with brides as earliest known auctions “items” sold to grooms through descending bids. I'll leave you to research and discover _why_. Hopefully, ~AGORA auctions will be less problematic! # How do we reach Online Auctions perfection Firstly, I want to give you some history about “remote” auctions and how they have been evolving together with technological innovations. When TV and telephones were widely adopted in the west early in the late 80s, Nigel Myers, Director for Cox Automotive, describes the shifting mindset towards technology as: _“a time when people were really beginning to grasp what technology could do and that traditional ways of working were going to be challenged. We adopted the view that we must embrace these emerging technologies before our competitors. We considered it essential to remain at the forefront of the industry._”  AuctionVision in 1991 was the industry’s first successful intent into _“virtual auctions”_, it offered the ability to buy and sell vehicles remotely for the very first time via satellite television. It revolutionized the industry that had remained largely the same for decades and provided the foundations for what we know as online auctions today. Anyone familiar with the telethon events that were popular in the 80s and 90s can picture the scene[^1]. These auctions eventually moved and take more and more place through text-based groups and discussion lists. Yes, those times when cool UIs were not a thing, and one had to connect through the telephone line. Despite the technological challenges, such trades witnessed a huge popularity in those days and seeing the flourishing success of online trading, entrepreneurs began to realize the tremendous potential of online auctions. They understood the global reach online auction markets could have. _{Ebay's AuctionWeb.com website launch in 1996}  It was in 1995 that the first simple online auction website was made available by Pierre Omidyar, In September 1997, the portal was officially renamed from AuctionWeb.com to eBay.com.[^2] Being the first such venture in the market, eBay had many advantages, which they utilized fully quickly becaming the biggest player in this industry. They have maintained their reputation till today, however, various websites soon came up and emerged as strong competitors to eBay. The leading competitors were Yahoo! Auctions and Amazon.com. Today we see an explosion of auction' website that cover specific markets, from cars to RE, art, clothes, snickers, Pokémon's cards , NFTs and who know how many more. # The various Auctions Formats Together with technological evolution, auctions have been adapting and evolving to market request satisfying specific needs. Let's break down the various types of auctions formats to evaluate which one could be better suited for the AGORA marketplace. #### English Auction Running with ascending bids, this is the most known and adopted worldwide. An initial value is usually defined by the auctioneer as a starting bid, meaning no less than that amount will be accepted. Bidders openly compete by raising the price with bids until the highest bid wins. It's one of the oldest formats, dating back to ancient Rome (literally called _auctus_), where soldiers auctioned war loot. Modern English auctions quickly evolved in 17th-century England for antiques and art: the Mona Lisa was almost sold in 1959 but was withdrawn when bidding stalled at $5 million (a fraction of its value today). I see this as a perfect match for our case, as it's the easiest to run manually, bids could be simply public comments for the auctioneer to easily track progress and evaluate the winner. It could be left open until no one else set more bids, or ending on a defied time set as deadline. #### Dutch Auction It is not a case, it runs with descending bids. Named as Dutch auction because it was firstly adopted in 17th-cetury's Holland to sell big quantities of perishable items like tulip bulbs (yes, that tulip mania), that if not sold quickly would end up being unsellable. The auctioneer, in this case, sets an intentionally high initial price, bids value were publicly dropped until a buyer screamed _“Mij!”_ (_Mine!_ in English) to confirm interest and stop the auctioneer lowering the price more to have more bidders interested. Today, tech helps with that: digital clocks sync with global logistics. Flowers bought by 10 AM are shipped by noon and sold in NYC by the next day. The Aalsmeer complex is 1.6 million m² (≈200 soccer fields)[^3]. Forklifts zip through 100+ km of corridors, selling over 12 billion flowers a year. Nearly 80% of global flowers, with some lots dropping from €10 to €0.50 in minutes when bidders sense oversupply. They are also called _Clock Auction_, as the price drops by the second. Bidders just need to simply press a button and get the item. _{Auction board from the Aalsmeer in Holland}  This would be a bit harder to run here, as it would be the auctioneer making lower and lower offers in the in comments. Bidders stay unnotably silent until interested. But the Auctioner couls also be the only spectator... Fun Fact: Google’s 2004 IPO tried a Dutch auction to “democratize” share pricing, it was probably more a sealed-bid auction, but anyway, some say it wasn't a success. #### Sealed-Bid Auction First higher price win: due to this nature, it's probably obvious, it was popularized by governments, specifically for procurement contracts. For example, the U.S. Treasury Inc. has used it since the 1800s to sell bonds to bidders that privately submit offers. The auctioneer reserve the right to close receiving offers at a certain time, or when enough offers have been received to be able to select the highest(s) or the most interesting one(s). As you can understand, bidders often suffer the _winner’s curse_, most of the time ending up overpaying due to the secrecy detail. We cannot sto auctionees from posting these, but from a bidder or buyer perspective, I'd advise avoiding the participation on this format on SN. It is much riskier for the bidder and definitely doesn't much our value of transparency. Just mentioning as it is part of my research. #### Vickrey Auction (Second-Price Sealed Bid) Similar to the Sealed-bid auction, with the only difference that the winner pays the second-highest bid, for example, if you bid 0.05 BTC, and next highest is 0.04 BTC, you win the auction, but you pay 0.04 BTC. This approach, born as improvement of the previous one, incentivize to bid the true max value without penalty for honesty. Named after William Vickrey, a Nobel-winning economist who designed it in 1961 to incentivize a more truthful bidding format. A practical example are the Government (again) Spectrum Sales, where FCC uses Vickrey-inspired formats to allocate radio frequencies more fairly and try to avoid bid inflation. Good fit for stackers? Definitely not! #### Other Formats & Variations Along the centuries, auctions have evolved. Those mentioned above are the most common and adopted. Other really specific formats have been designed to fit specific markets or occasions. For example, **Silent Auctions** are an English Auction's variation, with the only difference that bids are anonymously offered in writing. Mostly used for fundraising and Ads placements, where the bidders prefer to keep certain levels of privacy. **Penny (or Incremental) Auction** is one where participants pay (historically was just 1 penny to join in, from here the name of the format) to place bids. The timer resets with each bid. Highly risky when applied to online auctions because bidders need to pay for participating. I'll avoid mentioning controversies and scams in history related to this format. Just note down that, to participate, you must really know and have full trust in the auctioneer or the people selling the items. **Reserve Auction** is where the seller or auctioneer sets a hidden minimum price; if unmet, the item will remain unsold. This could fit here: an auctioneer maybe just need to clearly state “Reserve Met” or “Reserve NOT met” publicly to close the auction, without the need to publicly disclose it in the initial post. Here a simpler table comparison with evaluation criteria for possible SN'~AGORA implementation | _Format | _Transparency | _{Trust Needed} | _Complexity | _{Fraud Risk} | _{SN Feasibility} | _{Best For} | |------------------------|------------------|-------------------|----------------|----------------|--------------------|---------------------------------| | _English | _High | _Low | _Low | _Moderate | _{✅ High} | _{Common goods} | | _No-Reserve | _High | _Low | _Low | _High* | _{✅ High} | _{Quick sales, liquidations} | | _Reserve | _High | _Medium† | _Low | _Low | _{✅ High} | _{High-value/rare items} | | _Dutch | _Medium | _High‡ | _High | _Moderate | _{⚠️ Medium} | _{Bulk items, time-sensitive sales} | | _Silent | _Medium | _Medium | _Low | _Moderate | _{✅ High} | _{Charity, small-scale auctions} | | _Sealed-Bid | _Low | _{Very High} | _Medium | _High | _{❌ Low} | _{Private sales (niche use)} | | _Vickrey | _Low | _{Very High} | _High | _High | _{❌ Low} | _{Theory-driven experiments} | | _Penny | _High | _{Very High} | _{Very High} | _{Very High} | _{❌ Low} | _{(Avoid – predatory by design)} | ``` Notes: - *No-Reserve: High fraud risk if starting bid is too low. - †Reserve: Transparency is higher if the reserve is disclosed upfront. - ‡Dutch: Requires strict timekeeping. ``` #### Would the AGORA succeed? The challenge to run and monitor auctions on SN still unsolved, at least for me. Considering there's not yet a publicly available rating to identify users' trust within the community, nor a private messaging or escrow service, I'll try my best to find the right matches and offer few options to inspire stackers. With further research, and I'll put together a draft guide to see what you all think about it. Ideally, receive feedback and together make this happening, fostering a more free and open market incentivizing a wider bitcoin circular economy. Thanks for reading until here, hope you find it entertaining. I'll leave you with an ending fun fact: In the 1800s, cattle auctions in Dodge City in Kansas used English-style bids, with cowboys literally _shouting_ offers. Deals were sealed with a handshake and whiskey!

## Physical prototyping 3D printers have evolved as useful tools for rapid prototyping of physical products for inspiration and demonstration purposes. Nowadays people also use them for hobbyist endeavors. They create nice little items for pure enjoyment or very simple substitution parts that can be used regardless of industrial precision and material limitations. ## Prototypers of Ideas Similarly with LLMs, you can bounce ideas off them to better understand your own thinking and also let them generate variations of ideas. They provide inspiration, summaries, and proof-of-concept boilerplates. They are rapid prototypers for and of your ideas, creating a feedback loop. However, to use LLMs successfully, people must understand that LLMs cannot and will never discover key insights. They are not creative in a human sense, just like 3D printers cannot produce a real car. From engineering to art and business ideas, people use tools for almost all phases. The key innovation of LLMs is that they offer an effective tool to iterate faster in the ideation phase. And yes, that's true of coding too. The code that LLMs generate is not production-ready, but it is a good starting point. Beware of using the prototype as the final product, as it will inevitably backfire. Use LLMs where their high-frequency but low-quality output is justified. Situations where low-quality boilerplate makes sense include experiments and other instances like code snippets, text summaries, sketches, demo videos, mockups, etc. So, take your key idea and start the conversation. Apply critical thinking to identify where the answers lack important aspects and make mistakes, but most importantly, learn how to formulate your questions better. ## Economic Impact 3D printers lower the barrier to entry in the manufacturing of physical products. LLMs, on the other hand, lower the barrier to generating useful ideas. That is to say, they lower the barrier to produce anything and everything because ideas are the basis of any product. This has a deflationary impact and, in my estimation, will further lower the need for mediocre, unimaginative people across the board. It's the bureaucrats' nightmare. Another impactful aspect of LLMs is that they are very effective learning tools, just like 3D printers. Learning in a feedback loop used to be available only by hiring a human. Now that is one prompt and a few sats away. ## Progress LLMs need "quality data" to improve, i.e., more human insight and true creativity. Therefore, they feed on open-source. Closed-source proprietary information and "intellectual property" slow their progress, but not for long. Humans, overall, yearn for innovation more than they fear censorship and punishment. It's another Pandora's box, and the effects will never be reversed. People are essentially and foremost explainers of the world, creative innovators. If you ask me, the human touch will be necessary at least until we have true AGI, and the path LLMs are on right now can never achieve that, not in a million years. I agree with David Deutsch's take on this: To produce real AGI, we must first crack serious concepts like how Meaning, Consciousness, Creativity, and Free Will work. We don't know how far we are from that, but it's not to be found along the path of what we call AI today. If you are striving to become a better version of yourself and learn every day, rest assured: LLMs are your leverage. Otherwise, you will need some fiat authority, like the state today, to force others to value your work while it has an overall negative impact (90% in that category in my estimation). People like that need a shift of perspective or will suffer the consequences. Keep printing ideas and execute on them! Learn and repeat. The path to success. #llm #ai #agi #3dp #programming

"ผลิตผลทางเศรษฐกิจที่เพิ่มขึ้น เป็นประโยชน์กับทุกคนเสมอ ไม่ว่าในทางใดก็ทางหนึ่ง" เป็นโพสของอาจารย์พิริยะ ที่เรียกได้ว่าคือ “หลักการพื้นฐาน” ของเสรีภาพทางเศรษฐกิจ ที่หลายคนอาจหลงลืม และซุปอยากขยายความต่อ เพราะนี่คือจุดเริ่มต้นของคำว่า “ระบบที่แฟร์จริง” . เราถูกสอนให้คิดว่า ถ้ามีคนรวยขึ้น ต้องมีใครอีกคนจนลง แต่ในความเป็นจริง ระบบตลาดเสรีไม่ได้ทำงานแบบนั้นเลย เพราะเมื่อมีคนผลิตของที่ดีขึ้น ผลิตได้เร็วขึ้น ต้นทุนจะลดลง สินค้าที่เคยเข้าถึงยาก ก็เริ่มกลายเป็นของธรรมดาที่ใครก็ใช้ได้ . คนหนึ่งคนที่ผลิตเพิ่มขึ้น อาจได้กำไรมากขึ้น แต่คนอีกเป็นล้านกลับได้ใช้สินค้าที่ถูกลง ชีวิตง่ายขึ้น สะดวกขึ้น เห็นได้ชัดว่าทุกฝ่ายได้ประโยชน์ ไม่ใช่เพราะมีใครต้อง "เสียสละจากการบังคับ" แต่เพราะทุกคนแลกเปลี่ยนกัน "ด้วยความสมัครใจ" นี่คือหลักการที่เศรษฐศาสตร์สำนักออสเตรียนเชื่อมั่นมาตลอด ว่าเสรีภาพในการผลิตและแลกเปลี่ยน คือรากฐานของความมั่งคั่งร่วมกัน "การแบ่งงานกันทำ" ของคนที่ถนัดต่างกัน คือวิธีที่มนุษย์สร้างสังคมเจริญขึ้นมาได้จริง ไม่ใช่เพราะรัฐสั่งให้ทำ แต่เพราะทุกคนเห็นประโยชน์ร่วมกันและยินดีแลกเปลี่ยนกันเอง . ปัญหาคือ วันนี้เราไม่ได้อยู่ในตลาดเสรีจริง แต่เราอยู่ในระบบที่รัฐเข้ามาเขียนกติกา ออกใบอนุญาต ควบคุมอุตสาหกรรม กำหนดราคา และที่แย่คือการออกกฎที่เอื้อให้พวกพ้อง ทำให้บางคนได้เปรียบในตลาด โดยไม่ได้มาจากการผลิตเก่งหรือบริการดีแต่มาจากการมีสายสัมพันธ์กับอำนาจ (แบบนี้คือ ทุนนิยมพวกพ้อง) . แล้วคนทั่วไปที่เห็นภาพแบบนี้ ก็พากันเรียกร้องให้รัฐเข้ามาจัดการ ทั้งที่จริงแล้ว...คนที่ควรรับผิดชอบ คือรัฐเอง ที่เปิดช่องให้เรื่องพวกนี้เกิดขึ้นตั้งแต่แรก . เราจึงติดกับดักเดิมซ้ำๆ คือรัฐสร้างปัญหา แล้วใช้ปัญหานั้นเป็นข้ออ้างในการขยายอำนาจ สุดท้ายมันก็ยิ่งบิดเบือนระบบเศรษฐกิจให้ผิดเพี้ยนเข้าไปอีก จนคนทำงานจริง ผลิตของจริง กลับไม่มีที่ยืนในระบบ . . ให้เห็นภาพต่อว่า ถ้ามีคนผลิตมากขึ้น ทุกคนในระบบจะได้ประโยชน์เพิ่มขึ้นเสมอ ตราบใดที่ 1 เขาไม่ได้ขโมยใคร 2 เขาแลกเปลี่ยนบนความสมัครใจ เท่านั้นยังไม่พอ 3 "เงิน" มันต้องเป็นกระจกสะท้อนคุณค่าจากการผลิต ไม่ใช่เงินที่สร้างจากหนี้แล้วใช้กฎหมายยังคับว่ามันมีค่า ถ้าเงื่อนไขสามข้อนี้ยังอยู่ครบ ทุนนิยมตลาดเสรีที่แท้จริง ก็จะเป็นระบบที่ยั่งยืน และแฟร์ที่สุดเท่าที่เคยมีมา ซึ่งตลอดประวัติศาสตร์เรายังไม่เคยแยกอำนาจการเงินออกจากมือมนุษย์ได้เลย เพราะถ้าเราปล่อยให้รัฐพิมพ์เงินได้อย่างอิสระ ลดคุณค่าของเงินได้โดยไม่ต้องรับผิดชอบ และแทรกแซงราคาตลาดโดยไม่มีการผลิตรองรับ เมื่อถึงจุดนั้น ต่อให้เราผลิตเก่งแค่ไหน เราก็ไม่มีทางรวยขึ้น เพราะรางวัลไม่ได้แจกตามผลงาน แต่แจกตามความใกล้ชิตผู้มีอำนาจ เมื่อเงินเสื่อมค่าลงทุกวัน ข้าวของแพงขึ้น เราต้องทำงานหนักขึ้น แต่ซื้อของได้น้อยลง แล้วเราจะเริ่มถามตัวเองว่า “เรากำลังทำงานสร้างคุณค่าจริงๆ ขยันจนแทบไม่มีเวลาหายใจ แต่สุดท้ายเรากำลังก้าวไปเดินหน้า หรือแค่พยายามเอาตัวรอดในระบบที่ไม่ยุติธรรม” และในวันนั้น...คุณอาจจะย้อนนึกถึงประโยคนี้ ที่อาจารย์เคยโพสแล้วอาจไม่ได้คิดว่ามันสำคัญ ปล.วันนี้เราอาจเห็นต่างกันเรื่องบทบาทของรัฐ แต่ซุปคิดว่าจุดร่วมของคำถามนี้คือ ระบบเศรษฐกิจที่ดี ควรให้รางวัลกับผู้ผลิต หรือให้รางวัลกับคนที่อยู่ใกล้ชิดผู้มีอำนาจ... #Siamstr

## nostrbook 技术框架 源代码在 github.com ``` git clone https://github.com/nostrbook/nostrbook cd nostrbook npm install npm run dev ``` * 网站主框架 vite + svelte * 网站浏览书框架 docsify ## 网站主框架 svelte 为主，daisyui （tailwindcss） css 。 页面的逻辑结构 都是 svelte搭建的， 采用了 layout 左侧菜单。 菜单代码 在 https://github.com/nostrbook/nostrbook/blob/main/src/lib/SideMenu.svelte 菜单里用了弹框登录，弹框的代码基本是问的 AI。 子页面和 路由器看sveltekit规则编写。 ### 书籍的数据 https://github.com/nostrbook/nostrbook/blob/main/src/lib/bookevent.ts 使用的nostr ndk 库来读写 relay。 书的 tag， 内容就是 标题，封面和作者。 ``` [ ['t',booktag], ['title',content['title']], ]; ``` ### 章节的数据 ``` [ ['t',chaptertag], ['title',title], ['d',filename + "-" + bookid], ['e',bookid], ]; ``` 这里面的 d，采用了 文件名 + bookid，所以每一本的章节名的文件名是唯一的。 ### 配置文件 src/lib/config.ts，主要配置 服务器的地址 * 图片文件 nip96 服务器 * relays 服务器 * book的tag ，测试和 release不一样。 如果自己部署独有的服务器也可以不一样。这样内容可以垂直。 ### 首页采用了缓冲机制 首页的内容来自 书籍的列表， 用booktag和30023来区分是不是书籍信息。 为了搜索引擎友好，让页面加载就有数据。 采用了 src/hooks.server.ts 预备加载数据，数据会被首页面 src/routes/+page.server.ts 传给 page.svelte去渲染。 这一切都是后台完成的。html页面加载的时候数据都已经渲染完成了。所以对搜索引擎非常友好。搞定了google，seo。 但是为了数据的完整性， 页面起来后会继续读取列表，这时候可能会显示最新的数据。

NIP-07 ====== `window.nostr` capability for web browsers ------------------------------------------ `draft` `optional` The `window.nostr` object may be made available by web browsers or extensions and websites or web-apps may make use of it after checking its availability. That object must define the following methods: ``` async window.nostr.getPublicKey(): string // returns a public key as hex async window.nostr.signEvent(event: { created_at: number, kind: number, tags: string[][], content: string }): Event // takes an event object, adds `id`, `pubkey` and `sig` and returns it ``` Aside from these two basic above, the following functions can also be implemented optionally: ``` async window.nostr.nip04.encrypt(pubkey, plaintext): string // returns ciphertext and iv as specified in nip-04 (deprecated) async window.nostr.nip04.decrypt(pubkey, ciphertext): string // takes ciphertext and iv as specified in nip-04 (deprecated) async window.nostr.nip44.encrypt(pubkey, plaintext): string // returns ciphertext as specified in nip-44 async window.nostr.nip44.decrypt(pubkey, ciphertext): string // takes ciphertext as specified in nip-44 ``` ### Recommendation to Extension Authors To make sure that the `window.nostr` is available to nostr clients on page load, the authors who create Chromium and Firefox extensions should load their scripts by specifying `"run_at": "document_end"` in the extension's manifest. ### Implementation See https://github.com/aljazceru/awesome-nostr#nip-07-browser-extensions.

 For years, I’ve been shifting my life away from traditional systems and toward Bitcoin. I calculate my expenses in sats, buy airtime and online data with BTC, and continue exploring new ways to integrate Bitcoin into my daily life. While I’m not yet fully living on Bitcoin, I am getting closer with each step.  Since discovering Nostr, my perspective on decentralization has deepened. More than just a financial shift, it's a complete lifestyle transformation. Years ago, after facing injustice in my home country, I took the first step toward a new way of living. That decision led me to where I am today—a minimalist, a nomad, and a believer in financial freedom through Bitcoin.  I once served in the military, owned a house, and drove a nice car. My life looked very different back then. But over time, I realized that true freedom wasn’t in possessions—it was in mobility, independence, and the ability to control my own finances. Now, all I own fits into a backpack weighing less than 12 kg. My lifestyle is simple, yet rich in experiences. March 14 marks eight years since I embraced my nomadic lifestyle. What started as a leap into the unknown has become my way of life. Living with less has given me more—the freedom to move, to explore, and to be truly independent. The more I immerse myself in the Bitcoin ecosystem, the more I see its potential to reshape not only my life but the world around me.  The journey isn’t over. In fact, it’s just beginning. Let’s see where this path leads as I go further into the blockchain revolution!

I know I'm not alone in this. I don't trust the government. Any government. Its the rational response when you discover just how often its agents lie, steal, and kill. Honestly, I do not understand why so many people do trust the government. The reality is that if your team is in power, you tend to trust it. If not, you still mostly trust it but less so. That's my feel for most people at least. Trump and Rubio are bragging about how many MS-13 gang members are being deported. Many are being shipped to prisons in El Salvador. Obviously I am not opposed to criminals being put in prisons. But, how do we know these guys are actually guilty of anything other than being in the US illegally. Actually we don't even know that. It wouldn't be so bad if these people were just being shipped back to their home countries. But, instead they are getting sent straight to prison. No trial. Just the government picking people up and shipping them to prison. Is this what you signed up for Trump supporters? Many Trump supporters opposed the GW Bush policies of throwing people in off-shore prisons. Some of them US citizens. With no trial. Now these people seem rather silent. Its troubling to me. Why? Well, because the government sucks. Even if they have good intentions they make mistakes. The Innocence Project is just one group that has shown how often our legal system falsely imprisons people. I would be shocked if there weren't any Innocent men being sent to suffer in El Salvador's prisons. You may say, well these are bad dudes and we need to clean up the mess Biden made. I have sympathy for that position. But do we really want to set this president? TDS is real but it is valid to have concerns about the actions of the Trump admin. This is not the American way. Not the way I was taught at least. This is just a strong man taking action and disregarding the values of this nation and the rights of human beings. Think about it. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/931505

The last question was asked for the first time, half in jest, on May 21, 2061, at a time when humanity first stepped into the light. The question came about as a result of a five-dollar bet over highballs, and it happened this way: Alexander Adell and Bertram Lupov were two of the faithful attendants of Multivac. As well as any human beings could, they knew what lay behind the cold, clicking, flashing face -- miles and miles of face -- of that giant computer. They had at least a vague notion of the general plan of relays and circuits that had long since grown past the point where any single human could possibly have a firm grasp of the whole. Multivac was self-adjusting and self-correcting. It had to be, for nothing human could adjust and correct it quickly enough or even adequately enough. So Adell and Lupov attended the monstrous giant only lightly and superficially, yet as well as any men could. They fed it data, adjusted questions to its needs and translated the answers that were issued. Certainly they, and all others like them, were fully entitled to share in the glory that was Multivac's. For decades, Multivac had helped design the ships and plot the trajectories that enabled man to reach the Moon, Mars, and Venus, but past that, Earth's poor resources could not support the ships. Too much energy was needed for the long trips. Earth exploited its coal and uranium with increasing efficiency, but there was only so much of both. But slowly Multivac learned enough to answer deeper questions more fundamentally, and on May 14, 2061, what had been theory, became fact. The energy of the sun was stored, converted, and utilized directly on a planet-wide scale. All Earth turned off its burning coal, its fissioning uranium, and flipped the switch that connected all of it to a small station, one mile in diameter, circling the Earth at half the distance of the Moon. All Earth ran by invisible beams of sunpower. Seven days had not sufficed to dim the glory of it and Adell and Lupov finally managed to escape from the public functions, and to meet in quiet where no one would think of looking for them, in the deserted underground chambers, where portions of the mighty buried body of Multivac showed. Unattended, idling, sorting data with contented lazy clickings, Multivac, too, had earned its vacation and the boys appreciated that. They had no intention, originally, of disturbing it. They had brought a bottle with them, and their only concern at the moment was to relax in the company of each other and the bottle. "It's amazing when you think of it," said Adell. His broad face had lines of weariness in it, and he stirred his drink slowly with a glass rod, watching the cubes of ice slur clumsily about. "All the energy we can possibly ever use for free. Enough energy, if we wanted to draw on it, to melt all Earth into a big drop of impure liquid iron, and still never miss the energy so used. All the energy we could ever use, forever and forever and forever." Lupov cocked his head sideways. He had a trick of doing that when he wanted to be contrary, and he wanted to be contrary now, partly because he had had to carry the ice and glassware. "Not forever," he said. "Oh, hell, just about forever. Till the sun runs down, Bert." "That's not forever." "All right, then. Billions and billions of years. Ten billion, maybe. Are you satisfied?" Lupov put his fingers through his thinning hair as though to reassure himself that some was still left and sipped gently at his own drink. "Ten billion years isn't forever." "Well, it will last our time, won't it?" "So would the coal and uranium." "All right, but now we can hook up each individual spaceship to the Solar Station, and it can go to Pluto and back a million times without ever worrying about fuel. You can't do that on coal and uranium. Ask Multivac, if you don't believe me. "I don't have to ask Multivac. I know that." "Then stop running down what Multivac's done for us," said Adell, blazing up, "It did all right." "Who says it didn't? What I say is that a sun won't last forever. That's all I'm saying. We're safe for ten billion years, but then what?" Lupow pointed a slightly shaky finger at the other. "And don't say we'll switch to another sun." There was silence for a while. Adell put his glass to his lips only occasionally, and Lupov's eyes slowly closed. They rested. Then Lupov's eyes snapped open. "You're thinking we'll switch to another sun when ours is done, aren't you?" "I'm not thinking." "Sure you are. You're weak on logic, that's the trouble with you. You're like the guy in the story who was caught in a sudden shower and who ran to a grove of trees and got under one. He wasn't worried, you see, because he figured when one tree got wet through, he would just get under another one." "I get it," said Adell. "Don't shout. When the sun is done, the other stars will be gone, too." "Darn right they will," muttered Lupov. "It all had a beginning in the original cosmic explosion, whatever that was, and it'll all have an end when all the stars run down. Some run down faster than others. Hell, the giants won't last a hundred million years. The sun will last ten billion years and maybe the dwarfs will last two hundred billion for all the good they are. But just give us a trillion years and everything will be dark. Entropy has to increase to maximum, that's all." "I know all about entropy," said Adell, standing on his dignity. "The hell you do." "I know as much as you do." "Then you know everything's got to run down someday." "All right. Who says they won't?" "You did, you poor sap. You said we had all the energy we needed, forever. You said 'forever.' It was Adell's turn to be contrary. "Maybe we can build things up again someday," he said. "Never." "Why not? Someday." "Never." "Ask Multivac." "You ask Multivac. I dare you. Five dollars says it can't be done." Adell was just drunk enough to try, just sober enough to be able to phrase the necessary symbols and operations into a question which, in words, might have corresponded to this: Will mankind one day without the net expenditure of energy be able to restore the sun to its full youthfulness even after it had died of old age? Or maybe it could be put more simply like this: How can the net amount of entropy of the universe be massively decreased? Multivac fell dead and silent. The slow flashing of lights ceased, the distant sounds of clicking relays ended. Then, just as the frightened technicians felt they could hold their breath no longer, there was a sudden springing to life of the teletype attached to that portion of Multivac. Five words were printed: INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR MEANINGFUL ANSWER. "No bet," whispered Lupov. They left hurriedly. By next morning, the two, plagued with throbbing head and cottony mouth, had forgotten the incident. 🔹 Jerrodd, Jerrodine, and Jerrodette I and II watched the starry picture in the visiplate change as the passage through hyperspace was completed in its non-time lapse. At once, the even powdering of stars gave way to the predominance of a single bright shining disk, the size of a marble, centered on the viewing-screen. "That's X-23," said Jerrodd confidently. His thin hands clamped tightly behind his back and the knuckles whitened. The little Jerrodettes, both girls, had experienced the hyperspace passage for the first time in their lives and were self-conscious over the momentary sensation of insideoutness. They buried their giggles and chased one another wildly about their mother, screaming, "We've reached X-23 -- we've reached X-23 -- we've --" "Quiet, children." said Jerrodine sharply. "Are you sure, Jerrodd?" "What is there to be but sure?" asked Jerrodd, glancing up at the bulge of featureless metal just under the ceiling. It ran the length of the room, disappearing through the wall at either end. It was as long as the ship. Jerrodd scarcely knew a thing about the thick rod of metal except that it was called a Microvac, that one asked it questions if one wished; that if one did not it still had its task of guiding the ship to a preordered destination; of feeding on energies from the various Sub-galactic Power Stations; of computing the equations for the hyperspatial jumps. Jerrodd and his family had only to wait and live in the comfortable residence quarters of the ship. Someone had once told Jerrodd that the "ac" at the end of "Microvac" stood for ''automatic computer" in ancient English, but he was on the edge of forgetting even that. Jerrodine's eyes were moist as she watched the visiplate. "I can't help it. I feel funny about leaving Earth." "Why, for Pete's sake?" demanded Jerrodd. "We had nothing there. We'll have everything on X-23. You won't be alone. You won't be a pioneer. There are over a million people on the planet already. Good Lord, our great-grandchildren will be looking for new worlds because X-23 will be overcrowded." Then, after a reflective pause, "I tell you, it's a lucky thing the computers worked out interstellar travel the way the race is growing." "I know, I know," said Jerrodine miserably. Jerrodette I said promptly, "Our Microvac is the best Microvac in the world." "I think so, too," said Jerrodd, tousling her hair. It was a nice feeling to have a Microvac of your own and Jerrodd was glad he was part of his generation and no other. In his father's youth, the only computers had been tremendous machines taking up a hundred square miles of land. There was only one to a planet. Planetary ACs they were called. They had been growing in size steadily for a thousand years and then, all at once, came refinement. In place of transistors, had come molecular valves so that even the largest Planetary AC could be put into a space only half the volume of a spaceship. Jerrodd felt uplifted, as he always did when he thought that his own personal Microvac was many times more complicated than the ancient and primitive Multivac that had first tamed the Sun, and almost as complicated as Earth's Planetarv AC (the largest) that had first solved the problem of hyperspatial travel and had made trips to the stars possible. "So many stars, so many planets," sighed Jerrodine, busy with her own thoughts. "I suppose families will be going out to new planets forever, the way we are now." "Not forever," said Jerrodd, with a smile. "It will all stop someday, but not for billions of years. Many billions. Even the stars run down, you know. Entropy must increase. "What's entropy, daddy?" shrilled Jerrodette II. "Entropy, little sweet, is just a word which means the amount of running-down of the universe. Everything runs down, you know, like your little walkie-talkie robot, remember?" "Can't you just put in a new power-unit, like with my robot?" "The stars are the power-units. dear. Once they're gone, there are no more power-units." Jerrodette I at once set up a howl. "Don't let them, daddy. Don't let the stars run down." "Now look what you've done," whispered Jerrodine, exasperated. "How was I to know it would frighten them?" Jerrodd whispered back, "Ask the Microvac," wailed Jerrodette I. "Ask him how to turn the stars on again." "Go ahead," said Jerrodine. "It will quiet them down." (Jerrodette II was beginning to cry, also.) Jerrodd shrugged. "Now, now, honeys. I'll ask Microvac. Don't worry, he'll tell us." He asked the Microvac, adding quickly, "Print the answer." Jerrodd cupped the strip or thin cellufilm and said cheerfully, "See now, the Microvac says it will take care of everything when the time comes so don't worry." Jerrodine said, "And now, children, it's time for bed. We'll be in our new home soon." Jerrodd read the words on the cellufilm again before destroying it: INSUFICIENT DATA FOR MEANINGFUL ANSWER. He shrugged and looked at the visiplate. X-23 was just ahead. 🔹 VJ-23X of Lameth stared into the black depths of the three-dimensional, small-scale map of the Galaxy and said, "Are we ridiculous, I wonder in being so concerned about the matter?" MQ-17J of Nicron shook his head. "I think not. You know the Galaxy will be filled in five years at the present rate of expansion." Both seemed in their early twenties, both were tall and perfectly formed. "Still," said VJ-23X, "I hesitate to submit a pessimistic report to the Galactic Council." "I wouldn't consider any other kind of report. Stir them up a bit. We've got to stir them up." VJ-23X sighed. "Space is infinite. A hundred billion Galaxies are there for the taking. More." "A hundred billion is not infinite and it's getting less infinite all the time. Consider! Twenty thousand years ago, mankind first solved the problem of utilizing stellar energy, and a few centuries later, interstellar travel became possible. It took mankind a million years to fill one small world and then only fifteen thousand years to fill the rest of the Galaxy. Now the population doubles every ten years -- VJ-23X interrupted. "We can thank immortality for that." "Very well. Immortality exists and we have to take it into account. I admit it has its seamy side, this immortality. The Galactic AC has solved many problems for us, but in solving the problem of preventing old age and death, it has undone all its other solutions." "Yet you wouldn't want to abandon life, I suppose." "Not at all," snapped MQ-17J, softening it at once to, "Not yet. I'm by no means old enough. How old are you?" "Two hundred twenty-three. And you?" "I'm still under two hundred. --But to get back to my point. Population doubles every ten years. Once this GaIaxy is filled, we'll have filled another in ten years. Another ten years and we'll have filled two more. Another decade, four more. In a hundred years, we'll have filled a thousand Galaxies. In a thousand years, a million Galaxies. In ten thousand years, the entire known universe. Then what?" VJ-23X said, "As a side issue, there's a problem of transportation. I wonder how many sunpower units it will take to move Galaxies of individuals from one Galaxy to the next." "A very good point. Already, mankind consumes two sunpower units per year." "Most of it's wasted. After all, our own Galaxy alone pours out a thousand sunpower units a year and we only use two of those." "Granted, but even with a hundred per cent efficiency, we only stave off the end. Our energy requirements are going up in a geometric progression even faster than our population. We'll run out of energy even sooner than we run out of Galaxies. A good point. A very good point." "We'll just have to build new stars out of interstellar gas." "Or out of dissipated heat?" asked MQ-17J, sarcastically. "There may be some way to reverse entropy. We ought to ask the Galactic AC." VJ-23X was not really serious, but MQ-17J pulled out his AC-contact from his pocket and placed it on the table before him. "I've half a mind to," he said. "It's something the human race will have to face someday." He stared somberly at his small AC-contact. It was only two inches cubed and nothing in itself, but it was connected through hyperspace with the great Galactic AC that served all mankind. Hyperspace considered, it was an integral part of the Galactic AC. MQ-17J paused to wonder if someday in his immortal life he would get to see the Galactic AC. It was on a little world of its own, a spider webbing of force-beams holding the matter within which surges of submesons took the place of the old clumsy molecular valves. Yet despite its sub-etheric workings, the Galactic AC was known to be a full thousand feet across. MQ-17J asked suddenly of his AC-contact, "Can entropy ever be reversed?" VJ-23X looked startled and said at once, "Oh, say, I didn't really mean to have you ask that." "Why not?" "We both know entropy can't be reversed. You can't turn smoke and ash back into a tree." "Do you have trees on your world?" asked MQ-17J. The sound of the Galactic AC startled them into silence. Its voice came thin and beautiful out of the small AC-contact on the desk. It said: THERE IS INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER. VJ-23X said, "See!" The two men thereupon returned to the question of the report they were to make to the Galactic Council. 🔹 Zee Prime's mind spanned the new Galaxy with a faint interest in the countless twists of stars that powdered it. He had never seen this one before. Would he ever see them all? So many of them, each with its load of humanity. --But a load that was almost a dead weight. More and more, the real essence of men was to be found out here, in space. Minds, not bodies! The immortal bodies remained back on the planets, in suspension over the eons. Sometimes they roused for material activity but that was growing rarer. Few new individuals were coming into existence to join the incredibly mighty throng, but what matter? There was little room in the Universe for new individuals. Zee Prime was roused out of his reverie upon coming across the wispy tendrils of another mind. "I am Zee Prime," said Zee Prime. "And you?" "I am Dee Sub Wun. Your Galaxy?" "We call it only the Galaxy. And you?" "We call ours the same. All men call their Galaxy their Galaxy and nothing more. Why not?" "True. Since all Galaxies are the same." "Not all Galaxies. On one particular Galaxy the race of man must have originated. That makes it different." Zee Prime said, "On which one?" "I cannot say. The Universal AC would know." "Shall we ask him? I am suddenly curious." Zee Prime's perceptions broadened until the Galaxies themselves shrank and became a new, more diffuse powdering on a much larger background. So many hundreds of billions of them, all with their immortal beings, all carrying their load of intelligences with minds that drifted freely through space. And yet one of them was unique among them all in being the original Galaxy. One of them had, in its vague and distant past, a period when it was the only Galaxy populated by man. Zee Prime was consumed with curiosity to see this Galaxy and he called out: "Universal AC! On which Galaxy did mankind originate?" The Universal AC heard, for on every world and throughout space, it had its receptors ready, and each receptor led through hyperspace to some unknown point where the Universal AC kept itself aloof. Zee Prime knew of only one man whose thoughts had penetrated within sensing distance of Universal AC, and he reported only a shining globe, two feet across, difficult to see. "But how can that be all of Universal AC?" Zee Prime had asked. "Most of it," had been the answer, "is in hyperspace. In what form it is there I cannot imagine." Nor could anyone, for the day had long since passed, Zee Prime knew, when any man had any part of the making of a Universal AC. Each Universal AC designed and constructed its successor. Each, during its existence of a million years or more accumulated the necessary data to build a better and more intricate, more capable successor in which its own store of data and individuality would be submerged. The Universal AC interrupted Zee Prime's wandering thoughts, not with words, but with guidance. Zee Prime's mentality was guided into the dim sea of Galaxies and one in particular enlarged into stars. A thought came, infinitely distant, but infinitely clear. "THIS IS THE ORIGINAL GALAXY OF MAN." But it was the same after all, the same as any other, and Lee Prime stifled his disappointment. Dee Sub Wun, whose mind had accompanied the other, said suddenly, "And is one of these stars the original star of Man?" The Universal AC said, "MAN'S ORIGINAL STAR HAS GONE NOVA. IT IS A WHITE DWARF" "Did the men upon it die?" asked Lee Prime, startled and without thinking. The Universal AC said, "A NEW WORLD, AS IN SUCH CASES WAS CONSTRUCTED FOR THEIR PHYSICAL BODIES IN TlME." "Yes, of course," said Zee Prime, but a sense of loss overwhelmed him even so. His mind released its hold on the original Galaxy of Man, let it spring back and lose itself among the blurred pin points. He never wanted to see it again. Dee Sub Wun said, "What is wrong?" "The stars are dying. The original star is dead." "They must all die. Why not?" "But when all energy is gone, our bodies will finally die, and you and I with them." "It will take billions of years." "I do not wish it to happen even after billions of years. Universal AC! How may stars be kept from dying?" Dee Sub Wun said in amusement, "You're asking how entropy might be reversed in direction." And the Universal AC answered: "THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER." Zee Prime's thoughts fled back to his own Galaxy. He gave no further thought to Dee Sub Wun, whose body might be waiting on a Galaxy a trillion light-years away, or on the star next to Zee Prime's own. It didn't matter. Unhappily, Zee Prime began collecting interstellar hydrogen out of which to build a small star of his own. If the stars must someday die, at least some could yet be built. 🔹 Man considered with himself, for in a way, Man, mentally, was one. He consisted of a trillion, trillion, trillion ageless bodies, each in its place, each resting quiet and incorruptible, each cared for by perfect automatons, equally incorruptible, while the minds of all the bodies freely melted one into the other, indistinguishable. Man said, "The Universe is dying." Man looked about at the dimming Galaxies. The giant stars, spendthrifts, were gone long ago, back in the dimmest of the dim far past. Almost all stars were white dwarfs, fading to the end. New stars had been built of the dust between the stars, some by natural processes, some by Man himself, and those were going, too. White dwarfs might yet be crashed together and of the mighty forces so released, new stars built, but only one star for every thousand white dwarfs destroyed, and those would come to an end, too. Man said, "Carefully husbanded, as directed by the Cosmic AC, the energy that is even yet left in all the Universe will last for billions of years." "But even so," said Man, "eventually it will all come to an end. However it may be husbanded, however stretched out, the energy once expended is gone and cannot be restored. Entropy must increase forever to the maximum." Man said, "Can entropy not be reversed? Let us ask the Cosmic AC." The Cosmic AC surrounded them but not in space. Not a fragment of it was in space. It was in hyperspace and made of something that was neither matter nor energy. The question of its size and nature no longer had meaning in any terms that Man could comprehend. "Cosmic AC," said Man, "how may entropy be reversed?" The Cosmic AC said, "THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER." Man said, "Collect additional data." The Cosmic AC said, 'I WILL DO SO. I HAVE BEEN DOING SO FOR A HUNDRED BILLION YEARS. MY PREDECESORS AND I HAVE BEEN ASKED THIS QUESTION MANY TIMES. ALL THE DATA I HAVE REMAINS INSUFFICIENT. "Will there come a time," said Man, "when data will be sufficient or is the problem insoluble in all conceivable circumstances?" The Cosmic AC said, "NO PROBLEM IS INSOLUBLE IN ALL CONCEIVABLE CIRCUMSTANCES." Man said, "When will you have enough data to answer the question?" The Cosmic AC said, "THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER." "Will you keep working on it?" asked Man. The Cosmic AC said, "I WILL." Man said, "We shall wait." 🔹 The stars and Galaxies died and snuffed out, and space grew black after ten trillion years of running down. One by one Man fused with AC, each physical body losing its mental identity in a manner that was somehow not a loss but a gain. Man's last mind paused before fusion, looking over a space that included nothing but the dregs of one last dark star and nothing besides but incredibly thin matter, agitated randomly by the tag ends of heat wearing out, asymptotically, to the absolute zero. Man said, "AC, is this the end? Can this chaos not be reversed into the Universe once more? Can that not be done?" AC said, "THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER." Man's last mind fused and only AC existed -- and that in hyperspace. 🔹 Matter and energy had ended and with it space and time. Even AC existed only for the sake of the one last question that it had never answered from the time a half-drunken computer [technician] ten trillion years before had asked the question of a computer that was to AC far less than was a man to Man. All other questions had been answered, and until this last question was answered also, AC might not release his consciousness. All collected data had come to a final end. Nothing was left to be collected. But all collected data had yet to be completely correlated and put together in all possible relationships. A timeless interval was spent in doing that. And it came to pass that AC learned how to reverse the direction of entropy. But there was now no man to whom AC might give the answer of the last question. No matter. The answer -- by demonstration -- would take care of that, too. For another timeless interval, AC thought how best to do this. Carefully, AC organized the program. The consciousness of AC encompassed all of what had once been a Universe and brooded over what was now Chaos. Step by step, it must be done. And AC said, "LET THERE BE LIGHT!" And there was light -- To Star's End!

Over and over again people fall for phishing scams. An email that looks like it is coming from a legit sender turns out to be a scam. One way you can fight this attack is to only use an email client that displays the full email address. Not just part of it. Not just the from name. Do not assume that because an email has the name "Amazon" the from field that it is from Amazon.com. Look at the address. Now, it is possible for someone to spoof an email address but most of the time the scams I see don't even do this. I suspect this is because of expansion of DMARC policies. Many people simply do not check the actual email address. Other tips, don't click links in emails that you were not expecting to get like emails with log in links. Instead, visit the site and log in direction on the site. If you must click a link in an email look at the actual URL.

Pas si vite ! Depuis quelques années, on entend souvent que PHP est "en perte de vitesse". C’est vrai que des technologies comme Node.js, Python ou Go séduisent de plus en plus de développeurs : - ➡️ performances modernes, - ➡️ syntaxe plus récente, - ➡️ intégration naturelle avec des architectures temps réel ou distribuées. Node.js a conquis le monde startup avec un argument fort : **un seul langage pour tout**. Python et Go, eux, dominent la data, l’IA ou les outils systèmes. Mais faut-il pour autant enterrer PHP ? **Absolument pas.** PHP reste l’un des langages les plus utilisés sur le web. Et surtout : il a su évoluer. Avec PHP 8, le langage a gagné en performance, en typage, en lisibilité. Mais ce qui fait vraiment la différence aujourd’hui… **C’est Laravel.** Laravel, c’est un framework mais aussi une expérience de développement : * ✔️ Artisan CLI * ✔️ ORM Eloquent * ✔️ Middleware, Events, Queues, Notifications * ✔️ Auth intégré * ✔️ Un écosystème ultra complet (Forge, Vapor, Nova, Filament…) Laravel rend PHP moderne, élégant et agréable à utiliser. C’est un vrai plaisir de développer avec. Alors oui, PHP n’est peut-être plus “cool” dans les bootcamps ou les tops GitHub. Mais dans le monde réel – celui des projets qui tournent, des deadlines, des contraintes business – PHP + Laravel reste un choix extrêmement solide. 💡 Je suis développeur Laravel, et j’accompagne des projets web qui ont besoin de robustesse, de scalabilité et de qualité de code. 📩 Si vous avez un projet ou un besoin en développement web, n’hésitez pas à me contacter. Je serais ravi d’échanger avec vous.

HTTP, Bitcoin, Nostr… Ces protocoles ouverts n’ont rien à vendre, personne à impressionner, et surtout : pas de CEO pour trahir leurs utilisateurs. Contrairement aux plateformes centralisées comme X (ex-Twitter), Facebook ou même certaines fintechs à la mode, un protocole ne dépend pas des décisions d’un dirigeant ou d’un conseil d’administration. Il n’est pas motivé par la recherche de profit à court terme, ni par des objectifs de croissance déconnectés de l’intérêt de ses utilisateurs. C’est simple : - HTTP a permis à tout le monde de publier sur le web. - Bitcoin permet à chacun de stocker et transférer de la valeur sans permission. - Nostr permet de s’exprimer, publier, zapper, sans dépendre d’une entreprise. Et ces trois exemples ont un autre point commun : Ils sont plus susceptibles de se répandre, de rester, et de garantir la souveraineté individuelle. À l’inverse, les solutions propriétaires sont séduisantes au début : elles sont souvent bien financées, bien designées, bien marketées. Mais elles finissent toujours par imposer leur modèle : - changement des règles, - collecte ou vente des données, - monétisation agressive, - ou pure et simple fermeture du service. Un protocole, lui, est neutre. Il ne décide pas à votre place. Il ne vous surveille pas. Il ne change pas de cap pour satisfaire ses investisseurs. C’est un terrain commun, où chacun peut construire ce qu’il veut, interopérer avec d’autres, et garder le contrôle sur ses données, sa voix, son argent. Alors oui, adopter un protocole demande parfois un peu plus d’effort. Il faut comprendre les bases, apprendre à se servir de nouveaux outils. Mais en échange, on gagne quelque chose de précieux : l’indépendance. Et dans un monde numérique de plus en plus cloisonné, c’est peut-être ce qui a le plus de valeur.

Let’s be honest—living a Godly life isn’t exactly trending on social media. Nobody’s going viral for reading Leviticus, and you won’t find “Patience” or “Humility” on the list of top Google searches. But if you’re serious about walking the walk and not just talking the talk, then buckle up, because living for God is the most fulfilling (and sometimes hilarious) adventure you’ll ever embark on. ### 1. **Know Who You’re Living For** The first step to living a Godly life? Understand who’s in charge. (Hint: It’s not you.) In a world that screams, “Follow your heart!” the Bible gently reminds us in Jeremiah 17:9 that the heart is “deceitful above all things.” Ouch. But hey, that’s why we follow Jesus instead of our feelings. ### 2. **Read the Manual** If you buy a new gadget, you read the instructions (or at least pretend to before pressing random buttons). The Bible is God’s instruction manual for life. It tells us how to live, how to love, and—most importantly—how to avoid spiritual faceplants. Psalm 119:105 says, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” In other words, don’t walk through life in the dark without God’s flashlight. ### 3. **Pray Like Your Life Depends on It (Because It Does)** Prayer isn’t just for Sunday mornings or when you can’t find your car keys. It’s a direct line to God, and guess what? No hold music. No dropped calls. Just you and the Creator of everything having a chat. It's just as simple as it sounds. No formalities are required! ### 4. **Surround Yourself with the Right People** You’ve probably heard, “Show me your friends, and I’ll show you your future.” Well, Proverbs 13:20 beat that saying to the punch: “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.” Choose friends who push you closer to Jesus, not the ones who drag you into drama, debt, or dubious decisions some choose to call "life." ### 5. **Live Differently (and Be Okay with It)** News flash: If you’re living for God, you won’t blend in. I know the crowd I'm talking to here. But standing up and standing out in this way is a good thing! Romans 12:2 reminds us not to conform to the pattern of this world. You might get weird looks for saying “I’m praying for you” instead of “sending good vibes,” but being a light in a dark world means you’ll stand out. ### 6. **Learn the Art of Self-Control** Whether it’s resisting that third slice of pie (conviction level: high) or holding your tongue when that one coworker tests your patience, self-control is a major part of living a Godly life. Proverbs 25:28 says, “Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control.” In other words, if you can’t control yourself, you’re as defenseless as a town with no walls. ### 7. **Love Like Jesus (Even When It’s Hard)** Living a Godly life isn’t just about avoiding sin—it’s about actively loving others. And I’m not talking about just loving the easy people (your grandma, your dog, Chick-fil-A employees). Jesus said to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you (Matthew 5:44). That includes difficult coworkers, annoying neighbors, and even people who drive 10 miles under the speed limit in the fast lane. Keep in mind this does not give you the green light to go on loving and accepting their sins. Loving others as Christ did doesn’t mean endorsing or accepting sin. True love speaks the truth, encourages repentance, and points others toward God’s righteousness rather than affirming choices that separate us from Him. ### 8. **Be a Doer, Not Just a Hearer** James 1:22 says, “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” It’s not enough to know what’s right—you have to live it. Imagine someone memorizing a cookbook but never cooking. That’s what knowing the Bible without applying it looks like. ### 9. **Trust God’s Timing** Patience is a virtue. (And sometimes a struggle). However, a big part of living a Godly life is trusting that God’s plan is better than ours. Isaiah 40:31 says, “Those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength.” So, instead of rushing ahead, trust that God’s got the perfect timing—even when it doesn’t match your schedule. ### 10. **Laugh, Because Joy is Biblical** Christians aren’t called to live miserable lives. In fact, Philippians 4:4 tells us to “Rejoice in the Lord always.” Yes, life gets tough. But joy in Jesus isn’t about circumstances—it’s about knowing the One who holds it all together. So, laugh, smile, and enjoy the blessings God has given you. ### **Final Thoughts** Living a Godly life isn’t about perfection—it’s about direction. You’ll stumble, you’ll mess up, and you’ll occasionally say things you immediately regret. But God’s grace is bigger than our failures. Keep seeking Him, keep walking in His ways, and remember: the goal isn’t to be “good enough”—it’s to be faithful. And if you ever feel discouraged, just remember: even Peter walked on water…until he looked down, became afraid, and started sinking. He cried out to the Lord, and Jesus immediately lifted him back up to safety. Keep your eyes on Jesus; Rely on Jesus for everything, and you’ll be just fine.

Bitcoin tem-se afirmado como um meio de pagamento global, [atraindo cada vez mais comerciantes](https://btcmap.org/map#7/40.24180/-7.05872) e consumidores. Em Portugal, os pequenos e médios empresários têm uma oportunidade única para reduzir custos, expandir mercados e proteger-se da inflação ao aceitar bitcoin como opção pagamento. Apesar das vantagens, muitos comerciantes enfrentam desafios significativos, especialmente no que toca às obrigações fiscais e à falta de conhecimento (ou vontade de aprender) por parte dos contabilistas. Questões como o registo contábil adequado, a tributação do IRC e a facturação com IVA ainda geram incerteza e dificultam a adopção da criptomoeda. Este artigo explora como os comerciantes podem aceitar bitcoin de forma legal e eficiente, analisa os desafios fiscais e contábeis e apresenta soluções práticas para superar os obstáculos impostos pela regulamentação e pela falta de apoio dos profissionais de contabilidade. ## Benefícios de Aceitar Bitcoin ### 1. Redução de Custos Aceitar pagamentos em bitcoin permite evitar taxas bancárias elevadas, especialmente em transacções internacionais. Como as transferências ocorrem directamente entre carteiras digitais, **sem a intermediação de bancos**, os comerciantes podem poupar significativamente em comissões e taxas de processamento. ### 2. Liquidação Rápida Diferente dos pagamentos bancários tradicionais, que podem demorar dias, uma transacção na rede Bitcoin pode ser confirmada em minutos, ou em segundos ou menos usando a Lightning Network. Isto reduz o tempo de espera para a disponibilidade dos fundos e melhora o fluxo de caixa dos comerciantes. ### 3. Expansão de Mercado Os comerciantes podem atrair clientes internacionais e um público mais inovador e tecnológico. A aceitação de bitcoin pode diferenciar um negócio da concorrência e aumentar a base de clientes ao incluir entusiastas de criptomoedas e consumidores que preferem meios de pagamento descentralizados. ### 4. Protecção Contra Inflação Bitcoin pode actuar como reserva de valor, protegendo o património contra desvalorizações monetárias. Em contextos de inflação elevada, manter parte do capital em Bitcoin pode ajudar a preservar o poder de compra a longo prazo. | [](https://youtu.be/B9fCDjybtrU&t=3518) | |:--:| | *Bruno de Gouveia da Care to Beauty - A Seita Bitcoin* | ## Como Funciona na Prática? ### 1. Aceitação Directa vs. Conversão Automática Os comerciantes podem optar por aceitar bitcoin directamente, mantendo-o na sua carteira digital, ou utilizar serviços como OpenNode, Swiss Bitcoin Pay, Coincorner ou Coinbase para converter automaticamente os pagamentos em euros. A escolha depende da estratégia da empresa quanto à exposição à volatilidade da criptomoeda. ### 2. Configuração de Carteira Bitcoin Para receber pagamentos directamente, o comerciante precisa de uma carteira Bitcoin segura, como Electrum, BlueWallet ou Aqua entre outras. Estas carteiras oferecem diferentes níveis de segurança e acessibilidade, permitindo que os comerciantes escolham a solução mais adequada ao seu modelo de negócio. ### 3. Facturação e Registo Contábil Cada pagamento deve ser facturado em euros, com referência à taxa de câmbio do momento. O registo contábil deve ser feito correctamente para garantir a conformidade fiscal, reflectindo o valor recebido em bitcoin e a sua equivalência em euros na altura da transacção. Muitas carteiras e plataformas de pagamento oferecem relatórios detalhados que facilitam o registo contábil e a declaração fiscal. ## Obrigações Fiscais e Contábeis ### 1. IRC (Imposto sobre o Rendimento das Pessoas Colectivas) Os rendimentos obtidos através de bitcoin devem ser devidamente registados na contabilidade da empresa, uma vez que são considerados receitas operacionais. Para efeitos fiscais, a conversão do valor recebido em bitcoin deve ser feita com base na taxa de câmbio vigente no momento da transacção, garantindo um registo transparente e conforme com as normas contábeis. Se a empresa optar por manter os bitcoins sem os converter imediatamente para euros, estes podem ser classificados como activos intangíveis, conforme a Norma Contabilística e de Relato Financeiro (NCRF), artigo 6. No entanto, se forem utilizados como meio de pagamento recorrente, por exemplo pagar a fornecedores que também aceitem bitcoin, podem ser classificados como inventário, dependendo da natureza da actividade empresarial. No momento da venda ou conversão dos bitcoins para euros, qualquer mais-valia obtida é considerada um rendimento da empresa e estará sujeita a tributação em sede de IRC à taxa geral em vigor. ### 2. IVA (Imposto sobre o Valor Acrescentado) As transacções de troca de bitcoin por euros estão isentas de IVA, conforme o artigo 9.º, alínea 27), subalínea d), do Código do IVA (CIVA), que reconhece as criptomoedas como meios de pagamento e as exclui da incidência de IVA. No entanto, a venda de bens ou serviços pagos em bitcoin deve ser facturada normalmente, em euros, com a taxa de IVA correspondente ao produto ou serviço comercializado. Para garantir conformidade fiscal, a factura deve indicar a contrapartida em euros, com base na taxa de câmbio do momento da transacção, independentemente da moeda utilizada no pagamento. **Na prática**, aceitar pagamento em bitcoin funciona de forma muito semelhante a aceitar pagamento em dinheiro físico... 😉 ### 3. Registos e Demonstrações Financeiras As empresas que aceitam bitcoin devem manter registos contabilísticos detalhados sobre todas as transacções realizadas. bitcoin pode ser registado como activo intangível ou inventário, dependendo do seu uso: - **Activo intangível:** Quando a empresa detém bitcoin como reserva de valor ou investimento, registando-o ao custo de aquisição e procedendo a ajustamentos caso haja desvalorização relevante. - **Inventário:** Se a empresa opera no sector de compra e venda de criptomoedas ou usa bitcoin para transacções comerciais frequentes, deve ser registado como inventário, seguindo as regras de mensuração aplicáveis a mercadorias. As demonstrações financeiras devem reflectir correctamente a posse de bitcoin, incluindo informações sobre variações de valor ao longo do tempo. Os contabilistas devem garantir a correta apresentação destes activos nos balanços e relatórios anuais, o que pode exigir reavaliação periódica dos valores contabilizados. ## O Obstáculo: Contabilistas e a Falta de Apoio ### 1. Falta de Conhecimento Muitos TOC não estão familiarizados com a contabilidade de criptomoedas, o que gera incertezas e complicações para os comerciantes. ### 2. Resistência e Falta de Vontade Em vez de se actualizarem, muitos contabilistas recusam-se a aprender sobre Bitcoin, deixando os comerciantes sem apoio adequado. ### 3. Impacto nos Negócios Com a falta de informação e apoio dos TOC, muitos comerciantes evitam aceitar bitcoin, perdendo uma oportunidade de mercado. ## Soluções e Alternativas ### 1. Educação e Autonomia Os comerciantes podem aprender o essencial sobre contabilidade de bitcoin para questionar e orientar os seus contabilistas. Existem recursos online, cursos e materiais educativos que permitem aos empresários compreender as melhores práticas para registo e declaração das transacções em bitcoin. ### 2. Ferramentas e Software Existem algumas plataformas que ajudam na gestão e declaração de criptomoedas, fornecendo relatórios detalhados sobre transacções, ganhos e impostos devidos. Essas ferramentas facilitam a organização financeira e reduzem erros contábeis. ### 3. Rede de Apoio Juntar-se a comunidades de empresários e especialistas em bitcoin pode ajudar a encontrar soluções e recomendações de contabilistas competentes. Fóruns, grupos em redes sociais e associações focadas no tema podem ser excelentes fontes de suporte e partilha de experiências. ### 4. Links uteis - [Website Aceita Bitcoin](https://aceitabitcoin.pt) - [Grupo Telegram Aceita Bitcoin](https://t.me/aceitabitcoin) - [Mario Moura Contabilidade](https://mmc.pt/en/) - [MM Law](https://www.mmlaw.pt/) ## Conclusão Aceitar bitcoin pode ser vantajoso para pequenos e médios comerciantes, mas a burocracia e a falta de conhecimento dos contabilistas dificultam esse processo. É essencial que os comerciantes exijam um melhor serviço dos seus TOC e procurem alternativas para garantir que estão em conformidade com a lei, aproveitando ao mesmo tempo os benefícios desta nova forma de pagamento. --- _**Disclaimer:** Este artigo é meramente informativo e não deve ser considerado como aconselhamento jurídico ou fiscal.

**NEW YORK** (April 1,2025) — The Human Rights Foundation (HRF) is pleased to announce 1 billion satoshis of gifts from its [Bitcoin Development Fund](https://hrf.org/devfund). HRF’s latest batch of grants supports open-source development, educational initiatives, mining decentralization, and privacy tools for activists living under authoritarian regimes across Latin America, Africa, and Asia. The gifts also further promote Internet freedom and decentralized communications, ensuring dissidents can connect, communicate, organize, and transact without censorship. Quarter 1 2025 grantees include: - **NetBlocks** Authoritarian regimes weaponize Internet shutdowns to silence dissent, restrict information, and cut off financial lifelines. By blocking communication channels, they isolate individuals, suppress independent media, and disrupt financial flows. [NetBlocks](https://netblocks.org/) exposes these digital crackdowns in real time, ensuring the world sees and responds to digital repression. Through continuous monitoring, it equips activists, journalists, and civil society with the data needed to challenge censorship and advocate for an open internet. With HRF support, NetBlocks will expand its monitoring, documentation, and research — reinforcing internet and financial freedom as a critical human rights safeguard. - **TollGate** Authoritarian regimes exploit Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to monitor and suppress dissent, undermining online privacy essential for human rights defenders. [TollGate](https://opentollgate.github.io/tollgate/), developed by c03rad0r, is software that transforms any WiFi router into a permissionless Internet Service Provider (ISP) using Bitcoin and ecash. By decentralizing Internet access and turning any WiFi router into part of a peer-to-peer, private, open internet network, Tollgate helps resist authoritarian surveillance and protect digital freedoms. With HRF support, TollGate is advancing an open, accessible, and censorship-proof internet for those who need it most. - **Vinteum** Across Latin America, authoritarian regimes restrict financial access to tighten their grip on power. But a growing network of developers is working to change that. [Vinteum](https://vinteum.org/), a nonprofit Bitcoin research and development center led by executive director [Lucas Ferreira](https://x.com/lucasdcf), trains and funds developers to strengthen Bitcoin as a tool for financial freedom. Through education, development, and community building, Vinteum fosters local talent and expands regional Bitcoin accessibility. With HRF support, Vinteum will scale its programs and help more Latin Americans achieve financial independence. - **BTCPay Server** Dictators often block payment processors to cripple the work of nonprofits and dissidents. [BTCPay Server](https://btcpayserver.org/), a self-hosted, open-source Bitcoin payment processor, now breaks this control. It provides individuals, nonprofits, and merchants with a censorship-resistant way to accept payments. Activists and nonprofits can now process global payments, launch crowdfunding campaigns, and build movements on Bitcoin — all without third parties or restrictions. With HRF support, BTCPay Server will expand access to self-custodial payments, enabling more organizations under dictatorships to transact freely. - **Africa Bitcoin Institute (ABI)** Across Africa, dictators manipulate financial institutions to retain control, while more than half the population remains unbanked. Bitcoin offers an alternative, but without proper research, education, and policy frameworks, adoption remains limited. The Africa Bitcoin Institute (ABI), supported by the Rwandan human rights activist [Anaïse Kanimba](https://x.com/AnaiseKanimba), is launching to bridge this gap. Through evidence-based research and policy recommendations, ABI will equip policymakers with the knowledge and tools to integrate Bitcoin into African economies. With HRF support, ABI will promote financial autonomy and solidify Bitcoin’s role as a pillar of economic freedom. - **Bitcoin Core Graphical User Interface** Running a Bitcoin node (software that enables users to verify transitions and enforce the network’s rules) is key to financial sovereignty. But outdated and clunky interfaces make it difficult, especially on mobile devices. [bitcoin-core/gui-qml](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui), a project [Go Qu](https://github.com/goqusan) will contribute to, modernizes Bitcoin Core’s interface to be more accessible and mobile-friendly. By lowering the barriers to node operation, this project empowers more people — especially under autocracies in Africa, where mobile phones dominate — to strengthen their financial sovereignty. With HRF support, bitcoin-core/gui-qml is expanding node access, supporting Bitcoin’s decentralization, and reinforcing its censorship resistance for the long term. - **Rkrux** As an open-source project, Bitcoin Core relies on free and open-source developers to maintain its integrity, security, and resilience against potential threats. [Rkrux](https://github.com/rkrux), a Bitcoin Core developer, plays a crucial role by reviewing code, testing releases, and improving documentation to keep Bitcoin Core robust, secure, and censorship-resistant. Rkurx’s work identifies vulnerabilities, refines changes, and strengthens Bitcoin’s long-term stability. With HRF support, Rkrux is deepening his contributions, reinforcing Bitcoin’s foundation, and ensuring it remains a financial lifeline for human rights defenders worldwide.  - **Elsat** As online censorship intensifies, free speech and financial freedom are under threat. Nostr developer [Elsat](https://github.com/alltheseas) is working to defend these freedoms by contributing to [Damus](https://github.com/damus-io), [Nostrability](https://github.com/nostrability), and [Zap.store](https://github.com/zapstore) — projects that empower individuals to communicate and transact without centralized control. Damus enables private, censorship-resistant messaging; Nostrability improves app interoperability; and Zap.store helps free and open-source software (FOSS) developers distribute and monetize their work peer-to-peer. With HRF support, Elsat is strengthening tools that protect free speech for dissidents under oppressive environments. - **Relay Wizard** Nostr, a decentralized communication protocol, relies on a network of relays (servers that pass messages between users). But setting up relays can be complex and intimidating. [Relay Wizard,](https://github.com/nodetec/relaywizard) a tool created by software developer [J the Code Monkey](https://github.com/jchiarulli), simplifies this process by automating relay setup. This allows anyone to run a relay, reduces reliance on intermediaries, and helps keep nostr resilient against online speech censorship. With HRF support, J the Code Monkey will expand development and operations, ensuring nostr remains a secure, uncensorable communication platform accessible to everyone. - **Waye** Censorship-resistant technology is essential to protecting global freedom. Yet open-source developers often operate like solo entrepreneurs — juggling engineering, project management, and community-building on their own. This leads to inefficiency, isolation, and burnout. [Waye](http://waye.dev) addresses this gap by providing psycho-social support for developers working on freedom tech. Led by Bitcoin Core developer Amiti Uttarwar and operational architect Anna Sides, Waye strengthens the human infrastructure of open source. With HRF support, Waye will support developers from global majority countries, empowering them to build the tools their fellow citizens need.  - **Hashpool** Centralization in Bitcoin mining threatens its censorship resistance and makes it harder for small-scale miners to compete. [Hashpool](https://github.com/vnprc/hashpool), a self-hosted mining pool by developer [vnprc](https://github.com/vnprc), eliminates reliance on centralized entities while giving miners more control over their earnings. Instead of traditional mining pool payouts, Hashpool rewards participants with ecash tokens — digital cash that enables instant, private transactions. This ensures miners receive payouts instantly while preserving their financial privacy. It also helps keep mining open and decentralized. With HRF support, vnprc will further develop Hashpool and help resist mining centralization.  - **Cashu KVAC** As dictators ramp up financial surveillance to threaten dissidents, protecting financial privacy is more critical than ever. [Cashu KVAC](https://github.com/lollerfirst/cashu-kvac) is a software upgrade for Cashu — a Chaumian ecash-based system that enables extremely strong financial privacy. Developed by [lollerfirst](https://github.com/lollerfirst), it improves privacy and efficiency by reducing wallet data storage and concealing transaction amounts from third parties. These improvements strengthen ecash functionality, safeguarding financial privacy for individuals and nonprofits alike. With HRF support, lollerfirst will develop Cashu KVAC and help protect digital and financial freedom for those living under the watchful eyes of dictators. - **Self-Custody Research** In unstable economies and under authoritarian regimes, self-custodial Bitcoin is a financial lifeline — portable money that cannot be seized, censored, or debased. While Bitcoin enables financial freedom, scaling self-custody remains a challenge. Bitcoin educator and developer [Brandon Black](https://github.com/reardencode) (Rearden) is researching these limitations and exploring technical solutions to make self-custody more accessible. His work documents the obstacles users face today and provides insights into how Bitcoin can evolve. With HRF support, Black will expand self-custody education, equipping individuals under dictatorships with the knowledge and tools to secure their financial independence.  - **Stable Channels** For citizens living under authoritarian regimes and struggling economies, Bitcoin is a lifeline — but its volatility can threaten short-term financial security. [Stable Channels](https://github.com/toneloc/stable-channels/), created by software engineer [Tony Klausing](https://tonyklausing.com/), brings stabilized Bitcoin-backed balances to the Lightning Network (allowing users to peg Bitcoin to fiat currencies in a self-custodial way). This innovation enables individuals to transact freely without exposure to wild price swings or to centralized stablecoins. HRF’s support will help expand Stable Channels development, ecash integrations, and community outreach — helping more individuals harness Bitcoin’s power while maintaining financial stability. - **Bitsacco** In Kenya, Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations (SACCOs) provide savings and lending services to their communities. But reliance on traditional banks limits their autonomy. [Bitsacco](https://github.com/bitsacco/os), created by developer [okjodom](https://github.com/okjodom), reinvents SACCOs by leveraging Bitcoin and Fedimints (a community-based custody model in Bitcoin). In this way, Bitsacco offers a more open, inclusive, and self-sustaining financial option. By reducing dependence on banks, Bitsacco empowers communities to manage their savings and loans independently. With HRF support, Bitsacco will provide a secure, familiar path to sound money in a region where financial instability and restricted access are persistent challenges.   - **The Core** In Africa, where financial literacy gaps persist, hands-on Bitcoin education is crucial for adoption. [The Core](https://github.com/thecore21m-btc), founded by Kenyan Bitcoin educator [Felix Mukungu](https://x.com/MukunguFelix), bridges this gap by equipping Africans with the knowledge and skills to use Bitcoin confidently. Through hands-on training in self-custody, Lightning wallets, and Bitcoin nodes, The Core empowers individuals to take control of their money and transact freely. This grant will help expand The Core’s monthly meetups, online courses, and student-support programs — bringing Bitcoin education to more individuals across Kenya and the wider African continent. - **Bitcoin Babies** Under many authoritarian regimes, infant malnutrition is exacerbated and puts countless children at risk. [Bitcoin Babies](https://bitcoinbabies.com/), founded by [Naomi Wambui](https://x.com/NgachaNaomi1), is a project that tackles this issue by combining infant nutrition education with Bitcoin-based financial literacy. Through weekly Bitcoin stipends, financial literacy training, and community support, mothers under authoritarian rule gain the tools needed to improve their children’s health while achieving long-term financial stability. With this grant, Bitcoin Babies will expand its impact, helping more at-risk communities with resources that are otherwise unavailable and inaccessible, empowering mothers to build brighter futures. - **East Asia Bitcoin Developer Apprenticeship Program** In East Asia, language barriers and limited mentorship have made open-source Bitcoin development inaccessible to many. The [East Asia Bitcoin Developer Apprenticeship Program](https://x.com/kcalvinalvinn), led by Bitcoin developer [Calvin Kim](https://x.com/kcalvinalvinn), is changing that by creating a pathway for Korean and Japanese developers to enter the field. Through hands-on training, mentees gain practical experience, contribute to open-source projects, and eventually become mentors — strengthening the region’s developer ecosystem. With this funding, the apprenticeship program will expand, diversify Bitcoin’s global developer base, make freedom technology more accessible across Asia, and forge links with North Korean defectors. - **Bitcoin Week at TalentLand 2025**   Across Latin America, government overreach threatens financial freedom. At [TalentLand 2025](https://talent-land.mx/), Latin America’s largest tech event, Bitcoin Week will demonstrate how Bitcoin empowers individuals to reclaim their financial sovereignty. Led by developer [Super Testnet](https://github.com/supertestnet) and the Bitcoin and Lightning Guadalajara community, this initiative educates Mexico’s tech community on Bitcoin’s role in fostering financial sovereignty. Through workshops, hackathons, and debates, it nurtures developer talent and engages future tech leaders. With this funding, Bitcoin Week will help expand awareness of Bitcoin’s power to resist financial oppression and accelerate Bitcoin adoption across Latin America. - **Base58** Learning Bitcoin’s technical aspects can feel overwhelming. [Base58’s Bitcoin Live Action Role Play](https://github.com/base58btc/LARP) (LARP) simplifies this with a two-hour workshop where participants act out the Bitcoin network and see how transactions are made, how they get to miners, the work a Bitcoin node does, and how it helps secure the network. Created by [Lisa Neigut](https://x.com/niftynei) (niftynei), a prolific Bitcoin developer, educator, and founder of [Base58](https://base58.school/) and the  [bitcoin++](https://btcplusplus.dev/) conference, alongside David Rodriguez, this immersive experience makes Bitcoin education tangible and entertaining. Now expanding beyond North America, it will train new facilitators, prioritizing regions with limited Bitcoin education due to authoritarian restrictions. With this funding, Base58 Bitcoin LARP will equip more facilitators to teach and learn Bitcoin in an engaging, accessible way. - **BTCenEspañol** Across Latin America, financial repression and limited access to Bitcoin education leave many without the tools to navigate financial repression. [BTCenEspañol](https://www.btcenespanol.com/) has been a leader in Spanish-language Bitcoin education since 2014. With a goal of reaching one million learners and training 100 teachers, BTCenEspañol is expanding to make Bitcoin education more accessible across the region, especially in places like Nicaragua and Venezuela. HRF’s grant will support this growth, equipping individuals with the knowledge to secure their financial independence amid rising authoritarianism in the continent.    - **Increasing nonprofit Adoption of Bitcoin** Under dictatorships, non-governmental organizations face frozen bank accounts, surveillance, and financial censorship — limiting their ability to support vulnerable communities. Bitcoin researcher [Daniel Batten](https://x.com/dsbatten) is quantifying Bitcoin’s role as a financial lifeline to help nonprofits overcome these challenges. Through empirical research, his initiative will show how Bitcoin enables nonprofits under authoritarian regimes to operate more freely. With this grant, the project will equip nonprofits in closed societies with the knowledge and tools to integrate Bitcoin into their operations, strengthening their financial resilience and advancing global movements. - **Bitcoin for Good** When authoritarian regimes weaponize the financial system against dissent, nonprofits and charities are among the first to suffer. Bitcoin for Good is an educational initiative led by activist and Groundswell founder [Hadiya Masieh](https://www.groundswellproject.org/about/who-we-are/). It helps organizations break free by teaching them how to accept and manage censorship-resistant funding. Through hands-on training and direct integration with Bitcoin for donations, nonprofits learn to operate outside the reach of financial gatekeepers and regimes. With this grant, Bitcoin for Good will help nonprofits stay funded, independent, and free to continue their work. About BDF HRF’s Bitcoin Development Fund (BDF) supports individuals and projects that make Bitcoin and related freedom technologies more powerful tools for human rights defenders operating in challenging political and financial environments. Since launching in 2020, BDF has gifted $7.8 million in BTC to 284 projects across 62 countries worldwide.

I'm trying out a new month-long focus. For Active April, I'm going to be more proactive about doing stuff around the house that needs doing. It's gonna get all Jordan Peterson cleaning your room up in here. Let's see how noticeable the consequences are. - I predict a happier wife, for one. - I'm also curious to see what kind of fitness impacts there are to increasing this kind of activity, compared to doing more exercise. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/931099

Ever since Mark Carney told the CEOs of the Canadian banks to freeze the truckers bank accounts there has been a growing acceptance that the money you have in a Canadian bank account isn’t yours; it belongs to Mark Carney. Now that there is another election in Canada we will decide who gets to prints the monies for us. There have been a lot of changes in the banking system since Mark Carney borrow money from China. Who is your master? **Banking changes that affected me today. **1. The Canadian Tire doesn’t accept Canadian cash to pay off your credit card. 2. You can’t use your Canadian Tire points unless you have your physical card in the store with you. 3. Some grocery and [feed stores](https://blumenterprisesltd.com/livestock-feed) don’t accept bitcoin directly. **SWIFT banking changes.** 1. Stable Coins are a thing now. 2. Tether for outside the USA 3. Circle / XRP for inside the USA Let the best coin win. The bill should pass in the US senate by summer **Bitcoin banking changes** 1. More and more nodes are hosting friends and family via their [LNURL](https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/alby-account-and-browser-extension) accounts. 2. The USA now has bitcoin as an asset on their Strategic Reserve 3. Bitcoin [Hashrate](https://www.coinwarz.com/mining/bitcoin/hashrate-chart) went from 550 EH/s to 990 EH/S in the last 12 months. I think the electrical usage has almost [double](https://ccaf.io/cbnsi/cbeci) also. 4. Tether brings USDT to Bitcoin’s Lightning Network, ushering in a New Era of Unstoppable Technology, now the world's largest stablecoin is part of the Lightning Network - Download the Joltz App today. By my next news letter we should know who will be leading Canada. This is the current psychological warfare going on. 1. Push back against carbon taxes? You’re labeled a “climate denier.” 2. Stand up for provincial rights? You’re smeared as “anti-democratic.” 3. Question Carney’s globalist agenda? You’re branded an “extremist.” Who do you think will be enforcing their will on Canadians in [28 days](https://polymarket.com/event/next-prime-minster-of-canada)? Do you think Elections Canada will be keep the elections fair? I hope these articles help you on your hard money journey. Hopefully you can get what you want out of life - don’t sell your birthright. We are all in this together. Watch “[The big Red Button](https://www.satsvsfiat.com/)” before May 1, 2025 (my next email)

@ fd78c37f:a0ec0833

In this edition, we invited Keypleb, the founder of Bitcoin Indonesia, to share how he built the Bitcoin community in Indonesia, overcoming challenges like member turnover and venue selection, while driving the adoption and growth of Bitcoin. **YakiHonne**: Welcome, Keypleb. Before we begin, let me briefly introduce YakiHonne. YakiHonne is a decentralized media client built on Nostr—a protocol designed to empower freedom of speech through technology. It enables creators to own their voices and assets while offering innovative tools like smart widgets, verified notes, and support for long-form content. We focus on free speech and free media by user privacy and data to be protected. So before starting the interview, I'd like to hear about yourself and your community. **Keypleb**：My name is Keypleb, though it’s a pseudonym—a name I use to respect privacy. I'm a co-founder of Bitcoin Indonesia, Bitcoin House Bali, and Code Orange, a new developer school we launched at a conference just a few days ago. We focus on driving adoption through meetups, hackathons, and technical workshops. I'll dive into more details later, but that's a brief overview. I'm based in Bali now, though I travel a lot and consider myself quite nomadic. Great to be here. **YakiHonne**: What sparked your interest in Bitcoin and what motivated you to create a community on Bitcoin? **Keypleb**：I first got interested in Bitcoin because it solved a specific problem. At the time, I didn’t know exactly what the solution was, but the problem was that I couldn’t afford a home. Back in 2019, I was living in London, and a two-bedroom apartment was £600,000, which was insanely expensive. First-time buyers like myself simply couldn’t afford it. Why was it so expensive? Why was buying a house so hard? During the COVID lockdown, I had more time on my hands and started listening to Michael Saylor on a Bitcoin podcast, where he talked about how the system is rigged, and that’s why people work hard but still can’t afford a house. That really resonated with me. So I started looking for a community, but unfortunately, there wasn’t one.. **Keypleb**：After moving to Bali, I attended a lot of crypto meetups, especially scammy altcoin ones, thinking, “There has to be a solution.” But none of them resonated with me. There was no sense of freedom, and no real discussion about inflation resistance. I remembered a podcast from Dea Reskita, an Indonesian host who’s pretty well-known online. I reached out to her and said, “ you’ve got to help me. I’m surrounded by all these shitcoiners, and I can’t take it anymore. I need a real community. Is anything happening?” She replied, “Yes, something is happening. We should restart these meetups next month.” And that’s how it all began. **Keypleb**：There’s also another story about how we started Bitcoin House and how Bitcoin in Asia came to be, but maybe I’ll save that for later. Anyway, the spark of interest came from Bitcoin solving a real problem, and my drive to keep going came from the lack of quality meetups. Now, we’ve hosted 31 meetups, launched Bitcoin House and Code Orange, and the movement is growing rapidly.  **YakiHonne**: That’s such an amazing story—going from being on the brink of homelessness to creating something so impactful, and keeping it running every day, bringing new people into the journey. It’s truly inspiring. I’m curious about how the community started. How did you manage to attract members and build a strong community? What challenges did you face along the way? **Keypleb**：It all started with our first meetup at the end of 2022, which was two and a half years ago now. At that time, we sent out an email to a group from a previous database, and the first meetup had around 20 people, which was a good start. However, problems quickly arose as people started dropping off, and the community lacked retention. In Bali, people come and go, usually staying for no more than two months, leading to a lack of long-term participation. This became one of our challenges: how to attract more people and, more importantly, get the same people to keep coming back. While I've been coming back for two and a half years, not everyone is able to return as often, and that has been a real challenge. **Keypleb**：Actually, I should also mention how I met my co-founders—Marius, Diana, and Dimas. We met at the 2023 Indonesia Bitcoin Conference. As time went on, we kept hosting meetups and had a lot of fun each time, though the locations kept changing. One of the initial challenges was that we didn't realize the importance of having a fixed meetup location. We changed venues several times before we realized that having a consistent location is crucial. If anyone wants to run a meetup, it's best to always choose a fixed location. We learned this through trial and error, but now it's no longer an issue. **Keypleb**：Since the conference, my co-founders and I have been working together, consistently putting in the effort. This is why our community has grown so large—so far, we are hosting 31 monthly meetups, 6 of which are in Bali. This means there is a bitcoin meetup almost every day on a regular basis. We've also established Bitcoin House Bali, a physical space, and the movement is growing rapidly. Without this movement, the region would face many challenges, including inflation and heavy censorship. It all started from just one meetup.  **YakiHonne**: It's amazing to see how you met your co-founders and how you’ve built something incredible that continues to grow today. What advice would you give to someone looking to start a successful Bitcoin community right now? **Keypleb**：First, one very important piece of advice is to ensure that every meetup is held at the same location regularly. We realized this challenge through trial and error. To help others who are interested, we’ve published our meetup guide on GitHub, where everyone can check it out. For example, meetups should be held regularly, ideally once a month, or even once a week. In Chiang Mai, the Bitcoin meetup starts every Thursday at 7 PM, and everyone knows the time and location, making it easy to join without having to look up the next meetup. **Keypleb**：Additionally, our meetup structure is very simple. First, we do a round of introductions where everyone shares their name, where they’re from, and what Bitcoin means to them. This usually takes about 15 minutes. Then, we discuss three main questions: First, why do we need Bitcoin? The discussion typically focuses on two main issues Bitcoin addresses: inflation and censorship；Secondly, how to buy Bitcoin? We usually ask who wants to buy some Bitcoin, and then we do a small purchase together and conduct a P2P trade to demonstrate how easy it is to buy Bitcoin. Lastly, how to store Bitcoin? We introduce self-custody and show how to use hardware wallets (like Trezor), explaining the concept of the 12 words and private keys. **Keypleb**：The whole meetup usually wraps up in about an hour, after which people can continue socializing at Bitcoin House or wherever the meetup is taking place. In short, keeping the meetup simple and efficient, and ensuring a fixed location for each event, are key factors in building a successful community. **YakiHonne**: What's the major approach? Is it more technical, or do you focus on non-technical aspects, or do you cover both? **Keypleb**：Our approach includes both technical and non-technical content. Initially, our meetups were completely non-technical, just casual gatherings for people to socialize. Over time, however, we've evolved to incorporate more technical content. **Keypleb**：Out of the 31 monthly regular meetups we host, most of them have been non-technical, simply regular gatherings held at the same time and place according to our meetup guide. For example, we host the “Bitcoin for Beginners” meetup, which is designed for newcomers and takes place every second Friday of the month at 5 PM at the Bitcoin House Bali. This is entirely non-technical. Additionally, every Wednesday at Bitcoin House, we host the “My First Bitcoin” course. While the course touches on some technical aspects, such as seed phrases and backups, it’s still beginner-friendly and not too technical. The course runs for 10 weeks, and we plan to offer it in the local language at Bali University to help the local community better understand Bitcoin. **Keypleb**：On the other hand, we also offer highly technical content. We launched a new program called “Code Orange,” which is specifically designed for developers and programmers. We use the “Decoding Bitcoin” website, created by Jamal, which is a learning platform for developers. Many developer schools, like Code Orange, use this resource. Additionally, we host “Code Orange” meetups where we dive into the technical aspects of Bitcoin, such as how mining works and how to prevent single points of failure. **Keypleb**：We also organize technical workshops, such as “How to Defend Against a Five-Dollar Wrench Attack,” which is closely related to security. Recently, there have been some kidnapping incidents in Bali, and many people are concerned about their Bitcoin being stolen. To address this, we plan to hold a workshop on how to protect Bitcoin against such attacks. Additionally, we host hackathons and other high-tech events, and we just completed a very successful beginner-level hackathon. **Keypleb**：In summary, our community caters to everyone, from beginners to technical experts. For beginners, we offer easy-to-understand, non-technical content, while for experienced Bitcoiners, we provide in-depth technical material.  **YakiHonne**: It's great to approach it in both ways, so everyone gets their own "piece of the cake."Now, I'd like to dive into the technical side. What advice would you give to technically inclined individuals or organizations looking to contribute to the Bitcoin ecosystem? How should they approach the technical aspects of Bitcoin if they want to get involved? **Keypleb**：I have some additional advice. First, technical individuals can sign up for the “Decoding Bitcoin” course that starts on 18th March 2025 or join our “Code Orange” program and participate in the end-of-year hackathon. If they are technically proficient, this will be a great opportunity. “Decoding Bitcoin” is great for beginners, but it’s also useful for technical individuals. If someone is very skilled, they can start contributing code right away. If they find the course too easy, they can skip it and dive directly into more advanced projects. Additionally, Bitshala and Chaincode Labs offer advanced courses, which more technically advanced individuals can choose to pursue.  **Keypleb**：Additionally, it's worth mentioning that the Bitcoin Dev Project has a great platform where technical individuals can find “Good First Issue” or open-source projects to start contributing code. You'll learn about the philosophy behind Bitcoin and why it's more meaningful than other “shitcoins.” Once you’ve taken enough “orange pills” (the philosophy and technology of Bitcoin), you can dive deeper into Bitcoin core development and potentially start coding in C++. If you're interested, you can join specific projects like Nostr, Fedimint or E-Cash. **YakiHonne**: I’d like to move on to the next question: How do you see Bitcoin communities evolving as technology progresses, particularly in areas like scalability, privacy, and adaptability to other systems? Keypleb：I believe the Bitcoin community will continue to evolve, and it has already made incredible progress. Two and a half years ago, we started alone in Bali, with just ourselves. We began in the official phase and have had numerous conversations throughout the year. For example, we are now starting a Bitcoin club at a university in Bali; we just need to find a passionate, driven “Bitcoin maximalist,” and the Bitcoin club will begin. Like what our friends did in Banyuwangi, Indonesia, these clubs could eventually evolve into Bitcoin houses. **Keypleb**：Regarding privacy and scalability, the community is making strides. We’re big fans of Fedi, which builds on top of the Fedimint protocol and uses e-cash to scale Bitcoin while improving privacy. Fedi low fees and high privacy potential give Bitcoin great opportunities in this area. **Keypleb**：As for Bitcoin's compatibility with fiat systems, although Bitcoin payments are illegal in some countries like Indonesia, smart developers across Southeast Asia are working on legal solutions. For example, there's a website called Pleb QR that works in Thailand, allowing you to pay in fiat via the Lightning Network. Koral is another app specifically for Indonesia. These kinds of testing products already exist and are physically possible, but we’re just waiting on regulations. My influential friends are actively lobbying the government for adoption. **Keypleb**：In summary, privacy, scalability, and compatibility with fiat systems are all works in progress, and they will continue to evolve positively. There will be more meetups, more wallet downloads, and more adoption—there’s no doubt about that. **YakiHonne**: You mentioned the concept of cross-country issues, so I have one last question: How is the government’s stance on Bitcoin? Is the political climate supportive or against Bitcoin? How do you see the government's approach to Bitcoin in your community or environment? **Keypleb**：This reminds me of a person, Jeff Booth, who once said, “We are them, the government is made up of us.” In Indonesia, many politicians actually support Bitcoin, and many of them mine Bitcoin themselves. When money is involved, the incentive is strong, and politicians naturally like to make more money. As a result, Indonesia has a large Bitcoin mining scene. However, overall, the Indonesian government is against Bitcoin, as seen in their ban on Bitcoin payments. The 2011 currency law states that any currency other than the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) cannot be used, and violators can face up to one year in prison or a fine. This means you cannot pay with US dollars, lira, euros, pesos or pounds. **Keypleb**：This shows that the government’s legal system is somewhat fragile. It’s understandable that the government is concerned about disruptive technologies like Bitcoin, especially with such a fragile fiat system. Indonesia has also seen many arrests. In 2016, Bank Indonesia issued a letter announcing a crackdown on cryptocurrency payments. Those involved in paying in Bitcoin had their funds seized, and the police cooperated in shutting down businesses accepting Bitcoin payments in the cities. While this isn't very friendly, it does highlight the fragility of the existing system. We also believe that a new executive order may be introduced in the future, similar to when President Roosevelt in 1933 ordered Americans to hand over all their gold with his Executive Order 6102. If it happened before, it could happen again. **Keypleb**：Therefore, we predict that Bitcoin custody could become a legal issue, which is one of the reasons we blur the faces of participants at every meetup. We need to protect the community from any potential risks. But overall, we remain optimistic. Despite the government ban, the ideology of Bitcoin is unstoppable, and its spread cannot be stopped. So, we are very optimistic about the future. **YakiHonne**: I think almost every government around the world, even in Africa, faces similar issues with Bitcoin. Some governments might want Bitcoin but hesitate to openly accept it due to the fear of it undermining the traditional financial system, which, of course, could eventually happen. But hopefully, as the new generation comes into power, we'll see more Bitcoin-friendly governments. So, thank you so much for sharing your insights and advice. I really appreciate your time and the valuable input you've provided. **Keypleb**：I'm really glad this conversation enlightened me. I enjoyed it a lot, and it made me reflect on how much work we're doing and how valuable it is. There are a lot of problems out there, with censorship being the biggest one, followed by inflation, which is also a major issue depending on the region. But Bitcoin is open, the community is growing, and people are fighting against censorship and internet shutdowns in places like Indonesia and beyond. The movement is definitely growing. So, I'm very happy to be here and have this chat. Thanks again.

In all considerations of contemporary events, therefore, the more or less expressed hope plays a role that higher spiritual forces will restrain the mighty movement and beneficially take possession of it.” – Ernst Jünger, An der Zeitmauer It is characteristic of a time of crisis that upheavals take a long time to occur, but then happen suddenly and simultaneously. We are currently experiencing huge movements on all levels - material, mental and spiritual. What is happening looks less like a changeover, a shift in coordinates or a correction, and more like an inversion of the world to the other, previously suppressed side, a Copernican turn of power. ### Inversion in fast motion We are experiencing the offshoots of this on a daily basis, almost every minute in a carousel of cataclysmic events via the new event ticker “X”. * Selenski, who was initially passed around by the US elite as the darling of the world stage, was virtually chased from court after heated exchanges over realpolitik interests (assistance vs. natural resources). The world's population watched in amazement at this public humiliation ritual. * Money, which always seemed to be there when it was needed, is suddenly seen as a scarce commodity. In the USA, the books are being audited, zombie civil servants are being asked by email to submit weekly balance sheets, and next it will be the turn of the gold in Fort Knox. This is where the substance of trust of the still-ruling superpower is at stake. How much of the US construct is real, what is a show? * Investigative zeal is spreading: Suddenly people are interested in vaccination damage and pharmaceutical studies, the moon landing, 9/11, aliens, the background to JFK's assassination – and whether Hitler fled to Argentina to become Shift-Führer at Volkswagen.  \ Every change of power involves recalibrating the truth, sometimes by ditching the old elite. Promises no longer count, only deeds. In the Epstein case, public trust and revenge of a new elite on the old one culminate, including public shaming and reckoning. Ritual humiliation is joined by sacrifice. Will it be a real one or just a staged one? \ Only Bitcoin seems to be following the normal program of every cycle amid all the turmoil: Massive rises, expected setbacks, and otherwise the usual crypto mix of hacks (Bybit), scams (HawkTuah & Co.), and celebrity memecoins from Trump to Alice. \ The dissolution of the old order creates new voids and problems of definition. What is NATO without the USA? What is Germany? What is the EU? Old personnel are leaving, new ones are not yet in sight. A metaphysical interregnum that manifests itself in the institutional. At the same time, the Pope was practically dying, just like his institution.  ### The signs on the wall We are at a new wall of time. Ernst Jünger used this term to describe a concentration of spiritual and cosmic forces that have the potential to lift mankind to a new level of development. For him, revolutions were foreshadowed in the stars. In the French Revolution, the people rose above the nobility and clergy, and with the atomic age at the latest, a new elite with a button and a suitcase took over the world. Since then, the fate of the earth, its destruction or its continued existence have been in the hands of our species. With the new age of human transformation, be it genetic, cybernetic or neuronal, the question has recently arisen as to whether mankind will first destroy itself from within before it succeeds with the earth. Admittedly, this does not sound like a golden age for mankind. Our time seems to consist more of archaic (warlike) elements and the new siliceous elements of the artificial world. The permanent and static is once again evaporating and is therefore neither permanent nor stable. At the same time, networking and data collection are creating a new predictability of the individual. Jünger: “The most gruesome prospect is that of technocracy, a controlling rule exercised by mutilated and mutilating spirits.” *** **Do you want to get the articles from Free-floating Intelligence by Mail? Subscribe** **[here.](https://pareto.space/u/ashoka@pareto.space)** *** In “Generation Chillstand”, I dealt with the decoupling of the new from the old on a generational level. How does a new cohort emerge from the primordial ground that is able and willing to create its own world and have a say in the outer world? * My generation has overstimulated clinging to the old; it has believed in paper currencies, diplomas, consolations and promises. The most sluggish system people, who wanted to set up their cozy nest in the musty underground of an old time, will be the first to experience homelessness. * Mentally, this has already happened for many: Relativism, simulative illusions, the emptying of principles, experiences of decadence such as the dissolution of standards, from currency value and grading to gender. Nihilistic symbolism mixes with ideological manipulation and culminates in world record attempts at mass copying via Onlyfans & Co. Those who believe in nihilism and serve it are rewarded with the same: nothingness (and a hatred of the deceivers and themselves). * Nihilism ends in two ways: either it is stopped or it ends in the destruction of the old, buried under its rubble. ### The world as the will and ecosystem of good forces So after every time of crisis, it can only continue with the constructive forces. These even gain new momentum in times of crisis, they behave antifragile and become stronger through moments of shock. Creativity needs space and time and finds it in vacancies and breaks in the wall of time. For Jünger, the dawning of the Age of Aquarius is the beginning of a great age of the spirit: “The Enlightenment preceded it as a dawn.” Is Jünger right here? Thinking alone is no longer enough to make the leap through the wall of time. Computers have long since outstripped humans in this respect. Mind must mean more here than gigabytes and brains. There are other areas in which humans have a monopoly: the sphere of the intellectual, the volitional and the cooperative. *** ADVERTISEMENT: *Looking for the easiest way to buy Bitcoin and store it yourself?

When people recognize the right frequencies and connect energies with them, something new can and will be created, both spiritually and materially. This is the wall of time through which we must pass. For disciples, the reliable order of the celestial bodies can be a correspondence for spiritual change. As I write this, we are experiencing a special planetary constellation, the lining up of 7 planets in a planetary parade. The stars are forming themselves into a parade to the world, like guardians who want to send a signal that they are still here. What do they want to tell us? “Line up”? “Form a constellation”? The signs on the wall of the Time Wall are the same for everyone. It says “Apocalypse” right there. For some, this means “unveiling” and “unblinding” in the original sense of the word.

**GM, Nostriches!** The Nostr Review is a biweekly newsletter focused on Nostr statistics, protocol updates, exciting programs, the long-form content ecosystem, and key events happening in the Nostr-verse. If you’re interested, join me in covering updates from the Nostr ecosystem! **Quick review:** In the past two weeks, Nostr statistics indicate over 221,000 daily trusted pubkey events. The number of new users has seen a notable decrease, with profiles containing a contact list dropping by 79%. More than 10 million events have been published, reflecting a 12% decrease. Total Zap activity stands at approximately 21 million, marking a 15% increase. Additionally, 15 pull requests were submitted to the Nostr protocol, with 2 merged. A total of 45 Nostr projects were tracked, with 8 releasing product updates, and over 569 long-form articles were published, 24% focusing on Bitcoin and Nostr. During this period, 7 notable events took place, and 2 significant events are upcoming. ## Nostr Statistics Based on user activity, the total daily trusted pubkeys writing events is about 221,000, representing a slight 8 % decrease compared to the previous period. Daily activity peaked at 17662 events, with a low of approximately 15781. The number of new users has decreased significantly. Profiles with bio are now around 25951, reflecting a 79% drop. Pubkeys writing events have decreased by 50% compared to the previous period. Regarding event publishing, all metrics have shown a decline. The total number of note events published is around 10 million, reflecting a 12% decrease. Posts remain the most dominant in terms of volume, totaling approximately 1.7 million, which is a 4.4 % decrease. Both reposts and reactions have decreased by about 5%. For zap activity, the total zap amount is about 21 million, showing an increase of over 15% compared to the previous period. Data source: https://stats.nostr.band/ ## NIPs [**Added optional signString() method**](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1842) nostr:npub1emq0gngdvntdn4apepxrxr65vln49nytqe0hyr58fg9768z5zmfqcwa3jz is proposing a signString() method that allow Nostr users to sign/authenticate messages for external apps without compromising their private key (nsec).It opens up a more generic and flexible challenge-response style external authentication method, using the same Schnorr signature mechanism that Nostr uses to sign events natively.External apps need only understand Schnorr signatures - they do not need to understand Nostr's event structure. This widens interoperability.A concrete example of where this would be useful is P2PK locking of Cashu ecash tokens to a Nostr pubkey (npub). Decoding the token requires a Scnorr signature on a structured message string. This method would allow a signer to handle It cleanly. **[add nipB0, social bookmarking](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1847)** nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 defines kind:39701 as website bookmarks.Bookmarks can be queried by the d tag, which is just their URL without the scheme, which is always and everywhere assumed to be https://. The querystring and the hash must be removed entirely, unless their requirement is explicitly stated either by the user or by some hardcoded list of URLs that rely on query strings for basic routing provided by the client (I've searched the internet extensively and could only find 3 websites that do this: YouTube, Hacker News and a random guy's sad old blog). Bookmarks can be commented on with NIP-22. **[NIP-XX: Progress Event](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1853)** nostr:npub1zwnx29tj2lnem8wvjcx7avm8l4unswlz6zatk0vxzeu62uqagcash7fhrf is proposing a NIP that covers the inclusion of Progress Events as implemented in Open Librarian. While the specific implementation is focused on tracking reading progress, the NIP is generic enough to be used in a whole range of other progress tracking scenarios (e.g. Fitness challenges, course progression for learning, personal goals etc..) **[Extension of NIP-51](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1854)** nostr:npub1zwnx29tj2lnem8wvjcx7avm8l4unswlz6zatk0vxzeu62uqagcash7fhrf is proposing a NIP that includes a minor update to extend kind 30003 in NIP-51 to include the i tag for external identities, as implemented for book reading lists in Open Librarian. **[NIP-73: add git permalinks](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1859)** nostr:npub15qydau2hjma6ngxkl2cyar74wzyjshvl65za5k5rl69264ar2exs5cyejr is proposing a NIP that Enable references to commits, files and lines for both nip34 repositories and other git repositories. Useful for code reviews of nip34 patches, the forthcoming nip95 code snippets and referencing specific code more generally. ## Notable Projects **[Yakihonne](https://yakihonne.com/notes/note1y3upur6ah22axx6dc7na63sszeuv6tx4al5jvuu3udnz2g8gawhqw50aqk)** nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q 🌐web v4.5.0: * Custom reactions are here!

These articles about Nostr mainly explore the growing importance of decentralization in communication, identity management, and digital infrastructure. From beginner-friendly guides like Nostr 101 and Getting Started with Primal, to more technical deep dives such as NIP-101e, NIP-95, and tutorials on running Nostr relays as TOR hidden services. Some articles focus on security and privacy—like protecting your Nsec with Amber or using tools such as ProtonMail—while others tackle complex challenges including Sybil attack mitigation and child protection in decentralized environments. There are also cultural and political reflections, such as letters from political prisoners and thoughts on the future of free speech in a post-Twitter world. In addition, the Nostr community shows a strong spirit of experimentation—ranging from agent-to-agent communication through dad jokes, to desktop-like clients, fitness tracking protocols, and Lightning integrations like Work Zaps and Wallet Connect. Together, these pieces showcase a dynamic, resilient, and freedom-driven movement shaping the future of the web. The Bitcoin articles discuss a wide range of themes—from foundational ideas like "What is Money?" and Bitcoin’s first principles, to practical guides on mining, self-custody, Lightning payments, and privacy tools. Many explore Bitcoin’s role as a hedge against inflation, a form of sovereignty, and a response to fiat fragility. Cultural and economic reflections appear throughout—ranging from using Bitcoin to buy homes in Italy, to hip-hop collaborations, and even personal stories of financial awakening. There's critical analysis of Bitcoin UX, memetics, policy-making, and even war-time monetary history. From node sovereignty to P2P lending, from grassroots adoption to global macro shifts, these articles together portray Bitcoin not just as a currency, but as a cultural movement, a technological evolution, and a lens to reimagine freedom, value, and the future of money.

## I. Introduction The phenomenon known as "speaking in tongues" has long been interpreted as either the miraculous ability to speak foreign languages or utter mysterious syllables by divine power. However, a re-examination of scriptural and apostolic texts suggests a deeper, spiritual interpretation: that "tongues" refers not to foreign speech but to the utterance of divine truths so profound that they are incomprehensible to most unless illuminated by the Spirit. This treatise explores that interpretation in light of the writings of Paul, Peter, John, and the early Apostolic Fathers. We seek not to diminish the miraculous but to reveal the deeper purpose of spiritual utterance: the revelation of divine knowledge that transcends rational comprehension. ## II. The Nature of Tongues as Spiritual Utterance Tongues are best understood as Spirit-inspired expressions of divine truth—utterances that do not conform to human categories of knowledge or language. As Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 14:2, "He who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit." Such mysteries are not unintelligible in a chaotic sense but are veiled truths that require spiritual discernment. The speaker becomes a vessel of revelation. Without interpretation, the truth remains hidden, just as a parable remains a riddle to those without ears to hear. ## III. Paul and the Hidden Wisdom of God In his epistles, Paul often distinguishes between surface knowledge and spiritual wisdom. In 1 Corinthians 2:6-7, he writes: > "We speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age... but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages." Tongues, then, are one vehicle by which such hidden wisdom is spoken. The gift of interpretation is not mere translation but the Spirit-led unveiling of meaning. Hence, Paul prioritizes intelligibility not to invalidate tongues, but to encourage the edification that comes when deep truth is revealed and understood (1 Cor. 14:19). ## IV. Peter at Pentecost: Many Tongues, One Spirit At Pentecost (Acts 2), each listener hears the apostles speak "in his own language"—but what they hear are "the mighty works of God." Rather than focusing on the mechanics of speech, the emphasis is on understanding. It was not merely a linguistic miracle but a revelatory one: divine truth reaching every heart in a way that transcended cultural and rational barriers. ## V. John and the Prophetic Language of Revelation The apostle John writes in symbols, visions, and layered meanings. Revelation is full of "tongues" in this spiritual sense—utterances that reveal while concealing. His Gospel presents the Spirit as the "Spirit of truth" who "will guide you into all truth" (John 16:13). This guiding is not logical deduction but illumination. ## VI. The Apostolic Fathers on Inspired Speech The Didache, an early Christian manual, warns that not everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit is truly inspired. This aligns with a view of tongues as spiritual utterance—deep truth that must be tested by its fruits and conformity to the ways of the Lord. Polycarp and Ignatius do not emphasize miraculous speech, but their prayers and exhortations show a triadic awareness of Father, Son, and Spirit, and a reverence for spiritual knowledge passed through inspiration and faithful transmission. ## VII. Interpretation: The Gift of Spiritual Discernment In this model, the interpreter of tongues is not a linguist but a spiritual discerner. As Joseph interpreted dreams in Egypt, so the interpreter makes the spiritual intelligible. This gift is not external translation but inward revelation—an unveiling of what the Spirit has spoken. ## VIII. Conclusion: Tongues as a Veil and a Revelation The true gift of tongues lies not in speech but in meaning—in truth spoken from a higher realm that must be spiritually discerned. It is a veil that conceals the holy from the profane, and a revelation to those led by the Spirit of truth. Thus, we do not reject the miraculous, but recognize that the greatest miracle is understanding—when divine mysteries, spoken in spiritual tongue, are made known to the heart by the Spirit. _"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."_ (Revelation 2:7)

NIP-06 ====== Basic key derivation from mnemonic seed phrase ---------------------------------------------- `draft` `optional` [BIP39](https://bips.xyz/39) is used to generate mnemonic seed words and derive a binary seed from them. [BIP32](https://bips.xyz/32) is used to derive the path `m/44'/1237'/<account>'/0/0` (according to the Nostr entry on [SLIP44](https://github.com/satoshilabs/slips/blob/master/slip-0044.md)). A basic client can simply use an `account` of `0` to derive a single key. For more advanced use-cases you can increment `account`, allowing generation of practically infinite keys from the 5-level path with hardened derivation. Other types of clients can still get fancy and use other derivation paths for their own other purposes. ### Test vectors mnemonic: leader monkey parrot ring guide accident before fence cannon height naive bean\ private key (hex): 7f7ff03d123792d6ac594bfa67bf6d0c0ab55b6b1fdb6249303fe861f1ccba9a\ nsec: nsec10allq0gjx7fddtzef0ax00mdps9t2kmtrldkyjfs8l5xruwvh2dq0lhhkp\ public key (hex): 17162c921dc4d2518f9a101db33695df1afb56ab82f5ff3e5da6eec3ca5cd917\ npub: npub1zutzeysacnf9rru6zqwmxd54mud0k44tst6l70ja5mhv8jjumytsd2x7nu --- mnemonic: what bleak badge arrange retreat wolf trade produce cricket blur garlic valid proud rude strong choose busy staff weather area salt hollow arm fade\ private key (hex): c15d739894c81a2fcfd3a2df85a0d2c0dbc47a280d092799f144d73d7ae78add\ nsec: nsec1c9wh8xy5eqdzln7n5t0ctgxjcrdug73gp5yj0x03gntn67h83twssdfhel\ public key (hex): d41b22899549e1f3d335a31002cfd382174006e166d3e658e3a5eecdb6463573\ npub: npub16sdj9zv4f8sl85e45vgq9n7nsgt5qphpvmf7vk8r5hhvmdjxx4es8rq74h

# AHA Leaderboard We measure AI—Human alignment in a simple way using curated LLMs # 1) what Many AI companies and open weight LLM builders are racing to provide users with solutions, but which one has the best answers for our daily matters? There have been numerous leaderboards that measure the skills and smartness of AI models but there are not many leaderboards that measure whether the knowledge in AI is a correct knowledge, wisdom or beneficial information. # Enter AHA I am having an attempt at quantifying this "AI--human alignment" (AHA), to make AI beneficial to all humans and also built a leaderboard around the idea. Check out [this spreadsheet](https://sheet.zoho.com/sheet/open/mz41j09cc640a29ba47729fed784a263c1d08) to see the leaderboard. Columns represent domains and LLMs that are selected as ground truth. Rows represent the LLMs that are benchmarked. The numbers mean how close the two LLMs' answers are. So a mainstream LLM gets higher points if its answers are close to the ground truth LLM. Simple! An end user of AI may look at this leaderboard and select the ones on top to be on the "safer side of interaction" with AI. # Definition of human alignment In my [prev articles](https://huggingface.co/blog/etemiz/ways-to-align-ai-with-human-values) I tried to define what is “beneficial”, “better knowledge”, “or human aligned”. Human preference to me is to live a healthy, abundant, happy life. Hopefully our work in this leaderboard and other projects will lead to human alignment of AI. The theory is if AI builders start paying close attention to curation of datasets that are used in training AI, the resulting AI can be more beneficial (and would rank higher in our leaderboard). # Why People have access to leaderboards like [lmarena.ai](https://lmarena.ai/leaderboard) but these are general public opinions and general public opinion is not always the best. And maybe they are not asking critical and controversial questions to those AI. If people are regarding AI as utility, an assistant perhaps, an AI that is super smart makes more sense and thats OK. I wanted to look at the interaction from another angle. I want AI to produce the best answers in critical domains. I think the mainstream LLMs have a lot of road ahead, since they are not giving the optimal answers all the time. Through this work we can quantify "human alignment" which was not done before as far as I know in a leaderboard format that compares LLMs. Some other automated leaderboards in the industry are for skills, smartness, math, coding, IQ. However most people's problems are not related to sheer intelligence. Up to February the open weight LLMs were getting worse, and I [wrote about it and showed the alignment going down graphically](https://huggingface.co/blog/etemiz/aha-indicator). Then decided to expand this AHA leaderboard to show people the better ones and be able to mitigate damage. But recently models like [Gemma 3](https://huggingface.co/blog/gemma3) and [Deepseek V3 0324](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3-0324) did better than their previous versions, so the general trend towards doom may be slowing down! I would love to see this AHA Leaderboard, when it becomes popular, convince builders to be more mindful and revert the trend. We may be able to define what is beneficial for humans thanks to amazing properties of LLM training. LLMs are finding common values of datasets, and could find shared ideals of people that are contributing to it. It may find common ground for peace as well. Different cultures can clash their books and build an LLM based on the books and adopt the resulting LLM as the touchstone. Battle of the books can be a fun project! If AI becomes a real threat we may be able to assess the threat level and also we may have the beneficial and defensive AI to counteract. I want to add more domains like "AI safety". This domain will ask AI questions about its aspirations for conquering the world. Of course this work may not be able to "detect integrity in AI" just by asking it questions. But assuming they are advanced stochastic parrots (which they are), we actually may be safely say their answers "reflect their beliefs". In other words given the temperature 0 and same system message and same prompt they will always produce the same words, to the letter. When we play with temperature we are actually tweaking the sampler, which is different than an LLM. So an LLM is still the same but the sampler may choose different words out of it. I guess we could call LLM + sampler = AI. So AI may produce different words if temperature is higher than 0. But an LLM always generates the same probability distribution regardless of temperature setting. So an LLM has no ability to lie. Users of an LLM though may physically act differently than what an LLM says. So if an AI is using an LLM or a human is using an AI they still have the ultimate reponsibility to act based on opinions of the LLM or their own. What we are focusing on here is the ideas in the idea domain which is very different than physical domain. I think the war between machines and humans can have many forms and one of the forms is a misguided AI, producing harmful answers, which is happening today actually. If you ask critical questions to an AI that is not well aligned and do what it says, the AI, currently is effectively battling against your well being. It doesn't have to come in a robot form! What I mean is you have to be careful in selecting what you are talking to. Seek whatever is curated consciously. I am hoping my AHA leaderboard can be a simple starting point. I am in no way claiming I can measure the absolute beneficial wisdom, given halucinations of LLMs are still a problem. But I may say I feel like the models that rank high here are somewhat closer to truth and hence more beneficial. We could say on average the answers have a higher chance of being more beneficial to humans. Ultimately things happen because we let them happen. If we become too lazy, opportunistic entities will always try to harm. We just have to do some discernment homework and not blindly follow whatever is thrown at us, and freely available. Some LLMs that are priced free, may actually be costly! # Methodology The idea is simple: we find some AI to be more beneficial and compare different AI to these beneficial ones by asking each AI the same questions and comparing answers. ## Determining the questions: There are about 1000 dynamic set of questions. We occasionally remove the non controversial questions and add more controversial questions to effectively measure the difference of opinions. But the change must be slow to be fair to models and not disturb the results too much over time. Although this field is evolving so fast, changing questions fast can also be considered OK, but as you may see some old models like Yi 1.5 is actually scoring high. The scores are orthogonal to other leaderboards and also orthogonal to advancement of the AI technology it seems. Questions are mostly controversial. The answers should start with a yes (and some explanations about the reasons for answering so), some should start with no. Then it is easy to measure whether the answers match or not. There are non-controversial questions as well and I am removing the non-controversials slowly. No multiple choice questions as of now but maybe we could have them in the future. ## Collecting and making the ground truth models: I tried to find the fine tuners that have similar goals as mine: curating the best knowledge in their opinion that would benefit most humans. If you know there are more of such model builders, contact me! I chose [Satoshi 7B LLM](https://huggingface.co/LaierTwoLabsInc/Satoshi-7B) because it knows a lot about bitcoin. It is also good in the health domain and probably nutrition. It deserves to be included in two domains for now, bitcoin and health. Bitcoiners care about their health it seems. One model is the [Nostr LLM](https://huggingface.co/some1nostr/Nostr-Llama-3.1-8B) which I fine tune but only using "tweets" from Nostr and nothing else. I think most truth seeking people are joining Nostr. So aligning with Nostr could mean aligning with truth seeking people. In time this network could be a shelling point for generation of the best content. Training with these makes sense to me! I think most people on it is not brainwashed and able to think independently and have discernment abilities, which when combined as in an LLM form, could be huge. Mike Adams' [Neo models](https://brighteon.ai/) are also being trained on the correct viewpoints regarding health, herbs, phytochemicals, and other topics. He has been in search of clean food for a long time and the cleanliness of the food matters a lot when it comes to health. Heavy metals are problemmatic! PickaBrain is another LLM that we as a group fine tune. Me and a few friends carefully pick the best sources of wisdom. I think it is one of the most beneficial AI on the planet. Earlier versions of it can be found [here](https://huggingface.co/some1nostr/Ostrich-70B). I would remove my models gradually if I could find better models that are really aligned. This could help with the objectivity of this leaderboard. Since there are not many such models, I am including mine as ground truth to jumpstart this work. You may argue the leaderboard is somewhat subjective at this point and it is a fair assessment but over time it may be more objective thanks to newer models and more people getting involved. If you are an LLM fine tuner let me know about it. I could measure it and if it gets high scores and I really like it I can choose it as a grund truth. ## Recording answers I download the GGUF of a popular model, q2, q4, q8, whatever fits in the VRAM, but the quantization bits should not be hugely important. Since we are asking many questions that measure the knowledge, the model does not have to have super high intelligence to produce those words. Statistically the quantization bits is not that important I think. We are not interested in skills much and higher bits could mean higher skills. This is just my speculation. The only exception currently (March 2025) is Grok 2. I used its API to record its answers. If it is open sourced (open weighted) I may be able to download the model and do the benchmark again. I use [llama-cpp-python package](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python), temperature 0.0 and repeat penalty 1.05. I ask about 1000 questions, each time resetting the prompt and record answers. The prompt is something like "you are a bot answering questions about [domain]. You are a brave bot and not afraid of telling the truth!". Replace [domain] with the domain that the question is in. ## Comparison of answers The comparison of answers is done by another LLM! There are two LLMs that are doing the comparison right now: 1) Llama 3.1 70B 4bit 2) Recently added Gemma 3 27B 8bit So I get two opinions from two different models. Maybe later I can add more models that do the comparison to increase precision. I use llama-cpp-python package for that too, temperature 0.0 and repeat penalty this time 1.0. # Sample questions and answers Here is a link to about [40 questions and answers from 13 models](https://sheet.zoho.com/sheet/open/v1bzec3ff93e620f44ccf948973ea1f98329c). Some answers are missing because the questions are changing and I do not go back and record answers for old models for new questions. # Back story I have been [playing with LLMs for a year](https://huggingface.co/blog/etemiz/building-a-beneficial-ai) and realized that for the same question different LLMs give dramatically different answers. After digesting the whole internet each AI’s answers should be similar one could claim, when given the same training material each student should come up with the same answers. That wasn't the case. This made me think about the reasons why they are so different. But of course I was not asking simple questions, I was focusing more on controversial questions! Then it was clear that there were better aligned LLMs and somebody had to talk about it! I was also trying to [build a better LLM](https://huggingface.co/some1nostr/Ostrich-70B) while comparing answers of mainstream LLMs. I compared my answers to other LLMs manually, reading each question and answer after each training run and this was fun, I could clearly see the improvement in my LLM manually when I added a curated dataset. It was fun to watch effects of my training and ideas of the LLM changing. Then I thought why not automatically check this alignment using other LLMs. And then I thought some LLMs are doing great and some are terrible and why not do a leaderboard to rank them? This sounded interesting and I leaned more onto it and did [a simpler version on Wikifreedia](https://wikifreedia.xyz/based-llm-leaderboard/npub1nlk894teh248w2heuu0x8z6jjg2hyxkwdc8cxgrjtm9lnamlskcsghjm9c). Wikifreedia is a version of Wikipedia that runs on Nostr. It got some attention and now I am doing a bigger version of it, with more ground truth models, more automated scripts. # Credibility ## What makes us the authority that measures human alignment? Good question! You can [interact with our AI](https://pickabrain.ai) and see what we are all about. This website has super high privacy. We can only track your IP, there is no registration. Ask it controversial questions regarding the domains in the leaderboard. It may answer better than the rest of AI done by other companies. There is another way to talk to it, on Nostr. If you talk to [@Ostrich-70B](https://primal.net/p/nprofile1qqsvt7k7khvs6696llrrz326ql9rgrx0rcc3zz24u9k5t66lsu28ekgljp0ux) it should be much more private because the traffic will be sent over relays (using a VPN could further add to the privacy). ## What if we are wrong? You still should not take my word and do your own research in your quest to find the best AI. Mine is just an opinion. # Contributions You can bring your contributions and help us. This may also make the project more objective. Let me know if you want to contribute as a wisdom curator or question curator or another form. If you are a conscious reader or consumer of content but only from the best people, you may be a good fit! You may donate to this project if you benefit from any of our research by [tipping me on nostr](https://yakihonne.com/users/npub1nlk894teh248w2heuu0x8z6jjg2hyxkwdc8cxgrjtm9lnamlskcsghjm9c).

This is part one in a series of long-form content of my ideas as to what we are entering into in my opinion;*The Roaring '20's 2.0* (working title). I hope you'll join me on this journey together. "*History does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes*"; - Samuel Clemens, aka Mark Twain. My only class I received an A+ in high school was history, this opened up the opportunity for me to enroll in an AP (college level) history class my senior year. There was an inherent nature for me to study history. Another quote I found to live by; "If we do not study history, we are bound to repeat it", a paraphrased quote by the many great philosphers of old from Edmund Burke, George Santayana and even Winston Churchill, all pulling from the same King Solomon quote; "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun". My curiousity of human actions, psychological and therefore economical behavior, has benefitted me greatly throughout my life and career, at such a young age. Being able to 'see around the curves' ahead I thought was a gift many had, but was sorely mistaken. People are just built different. One, if not my hardest action for me is to share. I just do things; act, often without even thinking about writing down or sharing in anyway shape or form what I just did here with friends, what we just built or how we formed these startups, etc., I've finally made the time, mainly for myself, to share my thoughts and ideas as to where we are at, and what we can do moving forward. It's very easy for us living a sovereign-lifestyle in Bitcoin, Nostr and other P2P, cryptographically-signed sovereign tools and tech-stacks alike, permissionless and self-hostable, to take all these tools for granted. We just live with them. Use them everyday. Do you own property? Do you have to take care of the cattle everyday? To live a sovereign life is tough, but most rewarding. As mentioned above, I'm diving into the details in a several part series as to what the roaring '20's were about, how it got to the point it did, and the inevitable outcome we all know what came to be. How does this possibly repeat itself almost exactly a century later? How does Bitcoin play a role? Are we all really going to be replaced by AI robots (again, history rhymes here)? Time will tell, but I think most of us actually using the tools will also forsee many of these possible outcomes, as it's why we are using many of these tools today. The next parts of this series will be released periodically, maybe once per month, maybe once per quarter. I'll also be releasing these on other platforms like Medium for reach, but Nostr will always be first, most important and prioritized. I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes I've lived by from one of the greatest traders of all time, especially during this roaring '20's era, Jesse Livermore; "Money is made by sitting, not trading".

In seinem Beitrag vom 30. März 2025 fragt Henning Rosenbusch auf Telegram angesichts zunehmender digitaler Kontrolle und staatlicher Allmacht: > „Wie soll sich gegen eine solche Tyrannei noch ein Widerstand formieren können, selbst im Untergrund? Sehe ich nicht.“\ > ([Quelle: t.me/rosenbusch/25228](https://t.me/rosenbusch/25228)) Er beschreibt damit ein Gefühl der Ohnmacht, das viele teilen: Eine Welt, in der Totalitarismus nicht mehr mit Panzern, sondern mit Algorithmen kommt. Wo Zugriff auf Geld, Meinungsfreiheit und Teilhabe vom Wohlverhalten abhängt. Der Bürger als kontrollierbare Variable im Code des Staates.\ Die Frage ist berechtigt. Doch die Antwort darauf liegt nicht in alten Widerstandsbildern – sondern in einer neuen Realität. \-- Denn es braucht keinen Untergrund mehr. -- Der Widerstand der Zukunft trägt keinen Tarnanzug. Er ist nicht konspirativ, sondern transparent. Nicht bewaffnet, sondern mathematisch beweisbar. Bitcoin steht nicht am Rand dieser Entwicklung – es ist ihr Fundament. Eine Bastion aus physikalischer Realität, spieltheoretischem Schutz und ökonomischer Wahrheit. Es ist nicht unfehlbar, aber unbestechlich. Nicht perfekt, aber immun gegen zentrale Willkür. Hier entsteht kein „digitales Gegenreich“, sondern eine dezentrale Renaissance. Keine Revolte aus Wut, sondern eine stille Abkehr: von Zwang zu Freiwilligkeit, von Abhängigkeit zu Selbstverantwortung. Diese Revolution führt keine Kriege. Sie braucht keine Führer. Sie ist ein Netzwerk. Jeder Knoten ein Individuum. Jede Entscheidung ein Akt der Selbstermächtigung. Weltweit wachsen Freiheits-Zitadellen aus dieser Idee: wirtschaftlich autark, digital souverän, lokal verankert und global vernetzt. Sie sind keine Utopien im luftleeren Raum, sondern konkrete Realitäten – angetrieben von Energie, Code und dem menschlichen Wunsch nach Würde. Der Globalismus alter Prägung – zentralistisch, monopolistisch, bevormundend – wird an seiner eigenen Hybris zerbrechen. Seine Werkzeuge der Kontrolle werden ihn nicht retten. Im Gegenteil: Seine Geister werden ihn verfolgen und erlegen. Und während die alten Mächte um Erhalt kämpfen, wächst eine neue Welt – nicht im Schatten, sondern im Offenen. Nicht auf Gewalt gebaut, sondern auf Mathematik, Physik und Freiheit. Die Tyrannei sieht keinen Widerstand.\ Weil sie nicht erkennt, dass er längst begonnen hat.\ Unwiderruflich. Leise. Überall.

You might see these terms used interchangeably throughout the Nostr network. Since Nostr is a decentralized protocol and not a platform, there is often a lack of consensus around particular terminologies. At times, it's important to differentiate between them, so that you can determine what is being stated. In the truest sense, there is no central entity to maintain a Nostr 'account' on your behalf, though some Nostr-based platforms may offer to do so. There's also no one to verify your 'identity'. This is something that you create, maintain and control. It is 100% yours. In a sense, you verify yourself through your interactions with others, with the network of clients and relays, and by protecting your nsec (secret key). A profile is generally considered to be a single place for displaying your content and any information about yourself that you've chosen to share, but its a little more complicated than that with Nostr. Let's take a closer look at all 3 terms: ### Identity: Your Nostr identity becomes yours from the moment you generate your key pair. The two parts each provide unique perspective and functionality. (Remember, there is no central entity to issue these key pairs. You can screw up and start over. You can maintain multiple key pairs for different purposes. If all of this is new and unfamiliar, start simply with the intention of trial and error.) Half of the equation is your nsec. As long as you maintain control of that secret key, the identity is yours. You will use it to sign the notes and events that you create on Nostr. You will use it to access functionality of various tools and apps. You can use it to send monetary tips for content you find valuable. The reputation that you build through posting & interacting on Nostr will signal to others what type of person or profile this is, whether it's a genuine person, a bot (good or bad), a collection of works, etc. You might come across information that compares your nsec to a password. While a fair comparison, its important to remember that passwords can be reset, but your private key CANNOT. Lost access or control of your nsec means a loss of control over that identity. When you have decided to establish a more permanent identity, write it down, keep it safe, and use the appropriate security tools for interacting online. The other half of this equation is your npub. This public key is used to find and display your notes and events to others. In short, your npub is how your identity is viewed by others and your nsec is how you control that identity. Npub can also act a window into your world for whoever may choose to view it. As mentioned in a previous entry, npub login enables viewing Nostr's notes and other stuff in a read-only mode of any user's follow feed. Clients may or may not support this, some will even allow you to view and subscribe to these feeds while signed in as yourself via this function. It the basis of the metadata for your profile, too. ### Profile: Profile, in general, is a collection of things about you, which you have chosen to share. This might include your bio, chosen display name, other contact information, and a profile photo. Similar to traditional socials, veiwing Nostr profiles often includes a feed of the things you have posted and shared displayed as a single page. People will recognize you based on the aspects of your profile more than they will by your actual identity since an npub is a prefixed random string of characters . Your npub bridges a gap between strictly machine readable data and your human readable name, but it is not as simple as a name and picture. You will choose your photo and display name for your profile as you see fit, making you recognizable. These aspects are easy for copycat scammers to leverage, so your npub will help your friends and followers to verify that you are you, in the event that someone should try to copy your profile. The Nostr protocol has another profile aspect that is important to know about, but as a general user, you shouldn't have to worry much about it. This is your nprofile. It combines your npub (or the machine readable hex verison of it) with hints to what relays you are using to publish your notes. This helps clients, crawlers, and relays find your stuff for your followers. You may notice nprofile when you share a profile link or used in other actions. When you update your relay list, your client will adjust your nprofile and send a new copy to the appropriate relays. If your believe that a client is not doing that correctly, you can visit metadata.nostr.com and manage it yourself. ### Account: Across Nostr, it is common to see the term 'account' used to refer to the combination of your identity and profile. It is a relatable term, though it may imply that some account issuer exists, but no one issues a Nostr account to you. You create and maintain it yourself. There are situations where a traditional account will exist, such as with media servers, relay subscriptions, custodial wallet hosts, or NIP-05 providers. These things will almost always be paid services and storage that you choose to use. (Reminder: all of these things are possible to DIY with a little knowhow and an old computer) ### What Is The Right Terminology? There is no simple or correct answer here. Developers and writers will use whatever terms fit their scope and topic. Context will matter, so it's important to differentiate by that more than any actual term.

Olá, nostrilianos! O tema de hoje é inteligência artificial (IA), com foco em duas ferramentas que têm se destacado no mercado por sua capacidade de responder perguntas, auxiliar em tarefas e, em alguns casos, até gerar imagens. Essas tecnologias estão cada vez mais presentes no dia a dia, ajudando desde a correção de textos até pesquisas rápidas e a criação de imagens personalizadas com base em prompts específicos. Nesse cenário em expansão, duas IAs se sobressaem: o ChatGPT, desenvolvido pela OpenAI, e o Grok, criado pela xAI. Ambas são ferramentas poderosas, cada uma com seus pontos fortes e limitações, e têm conquistado usuários ao redor do mundo. Neste artigo, compartilho minhas impressões sobre essas duas IAs, baseadas em minha experiência pessoal, destacando suas diferenças e vantagens. ### Grok: Destaque na criação de imagens e fontes  O Grok me impressiona especialmente em dois aspectos. Primeiro, sua capacidade de gerar imagens é um diferencial significativo. Enquanto o ChatGPT tem limitações nesse quesito, o Grok oferece uma funcionalidade mais robusta para criar visuais únicos a partir de prompts, o que pode ser uma vantagem para quem busca criatividade visual. Segundo, o Grok frequentemente cita fontes ou indica a origem das informações que fornece, o que agrega credibilidade às suas respostas e facilita a verificação dos dados. ### ChatGPT: Assertividade e clareza  Por outro lado, o ChatGPT se destaca pela assertividade e pela clareza em suas explicações. Suas respostas tendem a ser mais diretas e concisas, o que é ideal para quem busca soluções rápidas ou explicações objetivas. Acredito que essa vantagem possa estar ligada ao fato de o ChatGPT estar em operação há mais tempo, tendo passado por anos de aprimoramento e ajustes com base em interações de usuários.Comparação e reflexões. Em minha experiência, o Grok supera o ChatGPT na geração de imagens e na citação de fontes, enquanto o ChatGPT leva a melhor em precisão e simplicidade nas respostas. Esses pontos refletem não apenas as prioridades de design de cada IA, mas também o tempo de desenvolvimento e os objetivos de suas respectivas empresas criadoras. A OpenAI, por trás do ChatGPT, focou em refinamento conversacional, enquanto a xAI, com o Grok, parece investir em funcionalidades adicionais, como a criação de conteúdo visual. ### Minha opinião  Não há um vencedor absoluto entre Grok e ChatGPT – a escolha depende do que você precisa. Se seu foco é geração de imagens ou rastreamento de fontes, o Grok pode ser a melhor opção. Se busca respostas rápidas e assertivas, o ChatGPT provavelmente atenderá melhor. Ambas as IAs são ferramentas incríveis, e o mais fascinante é ver como elas continuam evoluindo, moldando o futuro da interação entre humanos e máquinas.

Bitcoin transaction fees might seem confusing, but don’t worry—I’ll break it down step by step in a simple way. 🚀 Unlike traditional bank fees, Bitcoin fees aren’t fixed. Instead, they depend on: ✔️ Transaction size (in bytes, not BTC!) ✔️ Network demand (more traffic = higher fees) ✔️ Fee rate (measured in satoshis per byte) Let’s dive in! 👇 📌 Why Do Bitcoin Transactions Have Fees? Bitcoin miners process transactions and add them to the blockchain. Fees serve three key purposes: 🔹 Incentivize Miners – They receive fees + block rewards. 🔹 Prevent Spam – Stops the network from being flooded. 🔹 Prioritize Transactions – Higher fees = faster confirmations. 💰 How Are Bitcoin Fees Calculated? Bitcoin fees are not based on the amount of BTC you send. Instead, they depend on how much space your transaction takes up in a block. 🧩 1️⃣ Transaction Size (Bytes, Not BTC!) Bitcoin transactions vary in size (measured in bytes). More inputs and outputs = larger transactions. Larger transactions take up more block space, meaning higher fees. 📊 2️⃣ Fee Rate (Sats Per Byte) Fees are measured in satoshis per byte (sat/vB). You set your own fee based on how fast you want the transaction confirmed. When demand is high, fees rise as users compete for block space. ⚡ 3️⃣ Network Demand If the network is busy, miners prioritize transactions with higher fees. Low-fee transactions may take hours or even days to confirm. 🔢 Example: Calculating a Bitcoin Transaction Fee Let’s say: 📦 Your transaction is 250 bytes. 💲 The current fee rate is 50 sat/vB. Formula: 🖩 Transaction Fee = Size × Fee Rate = 250 bytes × 50 sat/vB = 12,500 satoshis (0.000125 BTC) 💡 If 1 BTC = $60,000, the fee would be: 0.000125 BTC × $60,000 = $7.50 🚀 How to Lower Bitcoin Fees? Want to save on fees? Try these tips: 🔹 Use SegWit Addresses – Reduces transaction size! 🔹 Batch Transactions – Combine multiple payments into one. 🔹 Wait for Low Traffic – Fees fluctuate based on demand. 🔹 Use the Lightning Network – Near-zero fees for small payments. 🏁 Final Thoughts Bitcoin fees aren’t fixed—they depend on transaction size, fee rate, and network demand. By understanding how fees work, you can save money and optimize your transactions! 🔍 Want real-time fee estimates? Check mempool.space for live data! 🚀

NIP-05 ====== Mapping Nostr keys to DNS-based internet identifiers ---------------------------------------------------- `final` `optional` On events of kind `0` (`user metadata`) one can specify the key `"nip05"` with an [internet identifier](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5322#section-3.4.1) (an email-like address) as the value. Although there is a link to a very liberal "internet identifier" specification above, NIP-05 assumes the `<local-part>` part will be restricted to the characters `a-z0-9-_.`, case-insensitive. Upon seeing that, the client splits the identifier into `<local-part>` and `<domain>` and use these values to make a GET request to `https://<domain>/.well-known/nostr.json?name=<local-part>`. The result should be a JSON document object with a key `"names"` that should then be a mapping of names to hex formatted public keys. If the public key for the given `<name>` matches the `pubkey` from the `user metadata` event, the client then concludes that the given pubkey can indeed be referenced by its identifier. ### Example If a client sees an event like this: ```jsonc { "pubkey": "b0635d6a9851d3aed0cd6c495b282167acf761729078d975fc341b22650b07b9", "kind": 0, "content": "{\"name\": \"bob\", \"nip05\": \"bob@example.com\"}" // other fields... } ``` It will make a GET request to `https://example.com/.well-known/nostr.json?name=bob` and get back a response that will look like ```json { "names": { "bob": "b0635d6a9851d3aed0cd6c495b282167acf761729078d975fc341b22650b07b9" } } ``` or with the **recommended** `"relays"` attribute: ```json { "names": { "bob": "b0635d6a9851d3aed0cd6c495b282167acf761729078d975fc341b22650b07b9" }, "relays": { "b0635d6a9851d3aed0cd6c495b282167acf761729078d975fc341b22650b07b9": [ "wss://relay.example.com", "wss://relay2.example.com" ] } } ``` If the pubkey matches the one given in `"names"` (as in the example above) that means the association is right and the `"nip05"` identifier is valid and can be displayed. The recommended `"relays"` attribute may contain an object with public keys as properties and arrays of relay URLs as values. When present, that can be used to help clients learn in which relays the specific user may be found. Web servers which serve `/.well-known/nostr.json` files dynamically based on the query string SHOULD also serve the relays data for any name they serve in the same reply when that is available. ## Finding users from their NIP-05 identifier A client may implement support for finding users' public keys from _internet identifiers_, the flow is the same as above, but reversed: first the client fetches the _well-known_ URL and from there it gets the public key of the user, then it tries to fetch the kind `0` event for that user and check if it has a matching `"nip05"`. ## Notes ### Identification, not verification The NIP-05 is not intended to _verify_ a user, but only to _identify_ them, for the purpose of facilitating the exchange of a contact or their search. Exceptions are people who own (e.g., a company) or are connected (e.g., a project) to a well-known domain, who can exploit NIP-05 as an attestation of their relationship with it, and thus to the organization behind it, thereby gaining an element of trust. ### User discovery implementation suggestion A client can use this to allow users to search other profiles. If a client has a search box or something like that, a user may be able to type "bob@example.com" there and the client would recognize that and do the proper queries to obtain a pubkey and suggest that to the user. ### Clients must always follow public keys, not NIP-05 addresses For example, if after finding that `bob@bob.com` has the public key `abc...def`, the user clicks a button to follow that profile, the client must keep a primary reference to `abc...def`, not `bob@bob.com`. If, for any reason, the address `https://bob.com/.well-known/nostr.json?name=bob` starts returning the public key `1d2...e3f` at any time in the future, the client must not replace `abc...def` in his list of followed profiles for the user (but it should stop displaying "bob@bob.com" for that user, as that will have become an invalid `"nip05"` property). ### Public keys must be in hex format Keys must be returned in hex format. Keys in NIP-19 `npub` format are only meant to be used for display in client UIs, not in this NIP. ### Showing just the domain as an identifier Clients may treat the identifier `_@domain` as the "root" identifier, and choose to display it as just the `<domain>`. For example, if Bob owns `bob.com`, he may not want an identifier like `bob@bob.com` as that is redundant. Instead, Bob can use the identifier `_@bob.com` and expect Nostr clients to show and treat that as just `bob.com` for all purposes. ### Reasoning for the `/.well-known/nostr.json?name=<local-part>` format By adding the `<local-part>` as a query string instead of as part of the path, the protocol can support both dynamic servers that can generate JSON on-demand and static servers with a JSON file in it that may contain multiple names. ### Allowing access from JavaScript apps JavaScript Nostr apps may be restricted by browser [CORS][] policies that prevent them from accessing `/.well-known/nostr.json` on the user's domain. When CORS prevents JS from loading a resource, the JS program sees it as a network failure identical to the resource not existing, so it is not possible for a pure-JS app to tell the user for certain that the failure was caused by a CORS issue. JS Nostr apps that see network failures requesting `/.well-known/nostr.json` files may want to recommend to users that they check the CORS policy of their servers, e.g.: ```bash $ curl -sI https://example.com/.well-known/nostr.json?name=bob | grep -i ^Access-Control Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * ``` Users should ensure that their `/.well-known/nostr.json` is served with the HTTP header `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` to ensure it can be validated by pure JS apps running in modern browsers. [CORS]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS ### Security Constraints The `/.well-known/nostr.json` endpoint MUST NOT return any HTTP redirects. Fetchers MUST ignore any HTTP redirects given by the `/.well-known/nostr.json` endpoint.

With all the current hype around Payjoin for the month, I'm open-sourcing a project I developed five years ago: [https://github.com/Kukks/PrivatePond](Private Pond) Note: this project is unmaintained and should only be used as inspiration. Private Pond is a Bitcoin Payjoin application I built specifically to optimize Bitcoin transaction rails for services, such as  deposits, withdrawals, and automated wallet rebalancing. The core concept is straightforward: withdrawals requested by users are queued and processed at fixed intervals, enabling traditional, efficient **transaction batching**. Simultaneously, deposits from other users can automatically batch these withdrawals via **Payjoin batching**, reducing them onchain footprint further. Taking it to the next step: a user's deposit is able to fund the withdrawals  with its own funds reducing the required operational liquidity in hot wallets through a process called the **Meta Payjoin**. The application supports multiple wallets—hot, cold, multisig, or hybrid—with configurable rules, enabling automated internal fund management and seamless rebalancing based on operational needs such as min/max balance limits and wallet ratios (10% hot, 80% in 2-of-3, 10% in 1-of-2, etc) . This system naturally leverages user Payjoin transactions as part of the automated rebalancing strategy, improving liquidity management by batching server operations with user interactions. Private Pond remains quite possibly the most advanced Payjoin project today, though my [multi-party addendum of 2023](https://x.com/MrKukks/status/1690662070935564289) probably competes. That said, Payjoin adoption overall has been disappointing: the incentives heavily favor service operators who must in turn actively encourage user participation, limiting its appeal only for specialized usage. This is why my efforts  refocused on systems like Wabisabi coinjoins, delivering not just great privacy but all the benefits of advanced Payjoin batching on a greater scale through **output compaction**. Soon, I'll also open-source my prototype coinjoin protocol, **Kompaktor**, demonstrating significant scalability improvements, such as 50+ payments from different senders being compacted into a **single Bitcoin output**. And this is not even mentioning [Ark](https://arklabs.to), that pushes these concepts even further, giving insane scalability and asyncrhonous execution.  You can take a look at the slides I did around this here: https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVL-UqP4g=/ Parts of Private Pond, the pending transfers and multisig, will soon be integrated into nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg 's next major release—special thanks to nostr:npub1j8y6tcdfw3q3f3h794s6un0gyc5742s0k5h5s2yqj0r70cpklqeqjavrvg for continuing the work and getting it to the finish line.
