Recentemente, o podcast Scicast apresentou um episódio sobre aposentadoria, descrevendo os diferentes sistemas e sua história. Acho que, embora tenha sido um episódio interessante, foi muito injusto com o sistema de financiamento privado, que, afinal de contas, para um podcast voltado para a ciência (e que mencionou várias vezes que o sistema de repartição era matematicamente inviável), achei que alguns pontos precisavam ser esclarecidos.

Não estou dizendo que o sistema chileno é perfeito, não é, mas ele tinha potencial para melhorar e a classe política só o tornou cada vez pior.

Por exemplo, Otto von Bismarck sabia que tornaria a população idosa (os poucos que atingiram a idade de aposentadoria) dependente do Estado, e foi isso que fez com que Franco adotasse o sistema na Espanha, onde hoje é preciso aumentar os impostos para manter artificialmente o sistema de repartição.

A rentabilidade é baixa no sistema chileno, porque há lacunas (meses sem pagar) e porque você só contribui com 10%. Ou seja, se seu salário for 100, mas você contribuir com 10 em janeiro e mais nenhum mês. No final da sua vida profissional (45 anos) você terá 450 mais os rendimentos 1350, e esse total dividido pela expectativa de vida que está cada vez mais alta: 20 anos (24 meses) dá um salário de 56,25. Muito baixo, porque para o cálculo o salário era 100. Ainda mais baixo se a inflação for levada em conta. Mas o fato de haver meses sem contribuições não é levado em conta.

Deve-se considerar na rentabilidade que, em média, para cada 1 peso contribuído, são obtidos 3 pesos.Según cálculos de comissões

Várias comissões foram criadas para estudar como melhorar o sistema no Chile, e todas concluem a mesma coisa:

1- contribuir com 10% é muito baixo em comparação com outros sistemas

2- não se deve tolerar lacunas (a idade de aposentadoria não deve ser a idade natural, mas os anos de contribuição)

3- deve haver ajustes para cada aumento na expectativa de vida.

Esses três pontos acima não são tocados pelos políticos, porque são impopulares e eles vivem para a próxima eleição. Assim, eles preferem buscar outras formas, como o PGU (o salário básico universal que você já mencionou no podcast), que matematicamente já foi calculado como inviável no longo prazo.

Considere que 10% é baixo, mas ainda assim o Chile está muito bem classificado e poderia melhorar se os políticos tivessem a coragem de assumir os resultados das comissões que eles mesmos solicitaram.

https://www.65ymas.com/economia/pensiones/10-paises-con-mejores-sistemas-pensiones_22627_102.html

Foi mencionada a complexidade dos investimentos, o que é um mito, pois há fundos em que as contribuições são feitas de acordo com a idade do trabalhador (Fundo A para jovens, mais rentável, mas mais arriscado, e Fundo E, menos rentável, mas também menos arriscado). Na crise, as pessoas que perderam muito dinheiro foram porque estavam em um fundo que não correspondia à sua idade. Se você for jovem, poderá recuperar os retornos em um fundo de risco. Mas se for idoso na época da crise e não estiver em um fundo estável, já terá perdido sem poder se recuperar antes dos 65 anos.

Além disso, não se considera que há também um fundo voluntário adicional para o qual cada pessoa pode contribuir (APV), que tem benefícios como contribuições anuais do Estado para recompensar aqueles que contribuem para ele, e que também paga retornos.

Por outro lado, foi possível retirar dinheiro dos fundos individuais durante a crise pandêmica, algo que seria impossível em um fundo de repartição em que cada unidade monetária depositada por um trabalhador ativo é gasta ao mesmo tempo por um aposentado.

O modelo de repartição militar no Chile exige 20 anos de contribuições sem intervalos, qualquer intervalo e a pensão é de US$ 0, algo que não acontece no sistema civil (e não poderia acontecer porque o dinheiro lá é seu).

O sistema de capitalização individual no Chile permite que os trabalhadores possuam ativos de investimento, ativos de empresas que ajudaram o país a se desenvolver, algo que os políticos que querem derrubar o sistema parecem não entender.

E quanto à inflação? Investir em ativos que geram renda é útil tanto para mitigar a inflação quanto para ser proprietário, e esse último aspecto será relevante quando a automação chegar. Em vez de manter um registro artificial de quanto um robô produz, é mais transparente lucrar com os dividendos produzidos pela empresa em questão.

O sistema nórdico foi mencionado (que, afinal de contas, é praticamente o único sistema europeu que não está à beira do colapso). Vale a pena considerar que o dinheiro que a Noruega ganha com o petróleo vai para um fundo de investimento semelhante ao que temos individualmente no Chile, e a partir dele é paga grande parte do estado de bem-estar social norueguês. Mas isso é algo que parece muito distante, com a classe política latino-americana mais inclinada a desperdiçá-lo em bobagens populistas.

O modelo de distribuição é piramidal, embora possa parecer uma narrativa perigosa, é bom que as pessoas o vejam dessa forma (se um cidadão tirasse dinheiro dos jovens para dar aos idosos, provavelmente acabaria preso por um esquema ponzi), e a taxa de natalidade cada vez menor é um problema que o Estado não pode resolver, por mais totalitário que seja (estímulos fiscais e monetários etc. foram tentados com resultados ruins e míopes).

Além disso, por mais demonizado que seja na narrativa, o sistema chileno é um sistema misto com um pilar de solidariedade para aqueles que não contribuíram bem.

Na Argentina, passou-se da capitalização individual para o sistema de repartição, e o dinheiro foi usado pelos políticos quando não podiam pagar a conta de um Estado cada vez maior e corrupto, deixando os aposentados à mercê das migalhas dadas pelos políticos em cada campanha eleitoral. Você não confia no mercado, eu não confio no Estado.

Existem seres do tipo "troll" no folclore Português conhecidos como Trasgos, semelhantes a gnomos e duendes. Na interpretação da Vanessa Fidalgo, duende e trasgo seriam sinónimos e ela descreve-os como sendo "refilões, rebeldes, de pequena estatura, nariz arrebatado, tez rugosa, e o povo chama-lhes trasgos ou maruxinhos, que é como quem diz, duendes!"

Escondem-se nas florestas rurais e são famosos por pregar partidas aos viajantes, especialmente aos pastores de ovelhas. Essas criaturas anãs podem aparecer nas lareiras e tornar-se bastante invasivas. Mesmo que alguém se mude de casa, os Trasgos seguem-nos até ao novo lar. Existem rituais que, alegadamente, conseguem expulsar os Trasgos de uma casa.

A natureza jovial e traquina destes seres está relacionada com um Fadário Galego, em que se acreditava que eles eram resultado de crianças que morriam novas, em que a alma ficava presa a uma casa ou a um local agrícola relacionado com a família.

No folclore leonês, são chamados de Trasgos. No folclore castelhano e aragonês, são conhecidos como Martinitos.

Nas Astúrias, o trasgo é conhecido por nomes diferentes, dependendo da localização. Ele é conhecido como Trasno, Cornín ou Xuan Dos Camíos nas Astúrias ocidentais. Ele é conhecido como Gorretín Colorau ou aquele com o "gorro encarnado" (ambos significando "pequeno chapéu vermelho"), nas Astúrias orientais.

Na mitologia Celta, são conhecidos por "Far Darrig" que significa "homem vermelho".

Algumas interpretações sugerem que encarna a natureza caprichosa do destino, lembrando os humanos da imprevisibilidade da jornada da vida. Outras vêem-no como uma representação dos aspectos selvagens e indomáveis do mundo natural, existindo nas margens da compreensão humana.

Outro indício de que as relações entre Celtas e Ibéros não foi unilateral é a existência em solo Irlandês da planta Erica mackaiana, conhecida como Urze Galego ou Asturiano

Esta é uma espécie de urze encontrada exclusivamente nas costas da Galiza, Irlanda, Astúrias e Cantábria. Estas plantas estão sempre localizadas a menos de 10 km das margens, na proximidade de povoações costeiras da Idade do Ferro.

Não são nativas da Irlanda. Há indícios que sugerem que muitas espécies da fauna hiberno-lusitana chegaram à Irlanda devido a uma intensa actividade comercial exclusivamente marítima. Por exemplo, a Erica erigena, originalmente nativa da Gália e da Hispânia, é teoricamente considerada como tendo sido transplantada para solo irlandês através do comércio de vinho galaico.

Os indícios de contrabando de E. mackiana incluem o facto de serem encontradas apenas em portos que levam a rotas interiores e em baías isoladas. O local com a maior concentração desta espécie é o Pântano de Roundstone, situado entre duas enseadas isoladas, atravessado por uma antiga estrada de Connemara, uma área com uma longa história de contrabando. Em Kerry, há uma estrada conhecida como Trilho dos Contrabandistas, que foi a principal área de distribuição desta espécie.

Aisling é um género literário que se tornou popular na Irlanda nos séculos XVII e XVIII depois do tumulto da Guerra Williamita, misturando elementos de folclore, nacionalismo e romantismo. Ela encapsulava um anseio por identidade e liberdade, utilizando a figura da mulher bela como um poderoso símbolo de esperança e aspiração.

Mas a história da Aisling não começa aí e uma das suas origens é o conto muito confuso de Caer Ibormeith, também conhecida por Coerabar Boeth.

(https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/ba3b4b1d1c5cc2707f71924368a7adcded1829921c86e022f1cb8117eadff0d3/files/1746834499215-YAKIHONNES3.jpg)

Ela era filha de Etal Anbuail, um rei Feérico dos Tuatha Dé Danann "povos da deusa Danu"; uma filidh - um nome que mais tarde foi atribuido aos poetas da Irlanda com proezas proféticas, uma vez que Ibormeith era a deusa das profecias, de certa forma semelhante a um "bardo", como se diz em Português. A cada Samhain, 31 de Outubro, quando o Mundo dos Vivos se aproximava do Mundo dos Mortos, ela transformava-se num cisne, até ao Samhain seguinte em que regressava à sua forma humana. Numa das versões desse conto, Ibormeith, após consulta ou por iniciativa própria, apaixona-se por Óengus. Numa noite, ela aparece nos sonhos dele tocando a mais bela melodia e quando ele acorda sabe que está apaixonado mas não sabia quem era aquela bela mulher nem onde a poderia encontrar. Ele fica completamente down bad e cada dia que passa só pensa em voltar sonhar com ela outra vez, e ela todas as noites volta a aparecer-lhe no Mundos dos Sonhos. Um dia, Óengus perde o apetite e adoece. Um médico foi chamado. Ele adivinhou a causa da doença de Óengus e disse a Bóann, mãe de Óengus, para encontrar a jovem dos sonhos dele. Bóann procurou durante um ano, mas sem sucesso. Então, eles pediram ajuda ao seu pai, o Dagdha, que também procurou um ano mas sem sucesso. Então foi pedido ao seu irmão Bodb que encontrasse um lugar com a descrição segundo os sonhos. Mas o pai dela, Etal, não permitia que qualquer um ficasse com a mão da sua filha e então revelou que para a conquistar teria que esperar pelo Loch Bél Dragain que significa "Lago da Boca do Dragão" para a encontrar na manhã do Samhain e a chamasse pelo nome. Nesse dia havia 150 cisnes* nesse lago, carregando correntes de prata e Óengus começou a panicar por não encontrar a sua Ibormeith, mas foi então que reparou num cisne mais bonito que os outros, com correntes de ouro e prata, e quando disse o seu nome ela revelou a sua forma humana e perguntou-lhe porque demorou tanto tempo.

Depois disse transformaram-se em cisnes e cantaram uma música tão bela que os humanos dormiram durante 3 dias e Óengus ficou conhecido como deus do amor e da juventude.

*Na mitologia irlandesa, o número 150 refere-se frequentemente aos Cinquenta Guerreiros dos Tuatha Dé Danann e a figura dos cisnes é frequente e também utilizada nas obras de Hans Christian Andersen e Tchaikovsky. Outras versões do conto não dizem cisnes, dizem aves, ou a história acontece de maneira ligeiramente diferente - quem conta um conto acrescenta um ponto.![image]

O culto de Sol Invictus (Sol Invicto, ou "Sol Não Vencido") foi oficialmente instituído como religião estatal do Império Romano pelo imperador Aureliano em 274 d.C., marcando um momento relevante na história religiosa romana. Este culto, que celebrava o Sol como divindade suprema e invencível, estabeleceu celebrações anuais a 25 de Dezembro, uma data estrategicamente escolhida pela sua proximidade com o solstício de Inverno no calendário juliano. Contudo, o culto de Sol Invictus não surgiu isoladamente; tratava-se, na verdade, de uma reformulação e revitalização de práticas religiosas romanas muito mais antigas que veneravam Sol, a personificação deificada do Sol, uma figura presente na religião romana desde os tempos da República.

Antes da oficialização por Aureliano, o culto ao Sol já era praticado em Roma sob diversas formas. Na mitologia romana, Sol era frequentemente associado a deuses solares de outras culturas, como o grego Hélios e, mais tarde, o persa Mitra, cujo culto (o mitraísmo) alcançou grande popularidade entre os soldados romanos nos séculos II e III d.C. O mitraísmo, com os seus rituais iniciáticos e ênfase no Sol como símbolo de renovação e vitória, influenciou profundamente a iconografia e os conceitos do culto de Sol Invictus. A decisão de Aureliano de promover Sol Invictus como divindade unificadora do Império não foi apenas religiosa, mas também política: numa era de crises internas e externas, o culto ao Sol servia como símbolo de estabilidade, poder e unidade, sobretudo após a vitória de Aureliano contra a rainha Zenóbia do Reino de Palmira, cuja derrota foi atribuída à protecção divina do Sol.

Um dos festivais mais significativos associados ao culto era o Dies Natalis Solis Invicti ("Aniversário do Sol Invicto"), celebrado no solstício de Inverno, por volta de 21 de Dezembro, quando o dia começava a prolongar-se novamente, simbolizando a vitória do Sol sobre a escuridão. Este festival, profundamente enraizado no ciclo natural e astronómico, celebrava o renascimento do Sol e a sua força invencível. A proximidade temporal entre o Dies Natalis e a data de 25 de Dezembro, oficialmente adoptada para Sol Invictus, facilitou a sobreposição de significados e práticas religiosas. A ascensão do Cristianismo no Império Romano, particularmente após a conversão do imperador Constantino no início do século IV, conduziu a uma complexa interacção entre os cultos pagãos e a nova religião. É amplamente reconhecido pelos historiadores que o Cristianismo, ao estabelecer-se como religião dominante, absorveu e adaptou elementos de festivais pagãos para facilitar a conversão das populações e consolidar a sua influência. A escolha do 25 de Dezembro como data do nascimento de Jesus Cristo, que não tem fundamento nos textos bíblicos canónicos, é um exemplo evidente deste sincretismo. A data coincidia convenientemente com as celebrações de Sol Invictus e outros festivais pagãos, como a Saturnália, um período de festividades em honra do deus Saturno que ocorria em meados de Dezembro. O simbolismo do Sol, associado à luz, renovação e vitória sobre as trevas, era facilmente adaptável à narrativa cristã. Jesus, frequentemente descrito como a "Luz do Mundo" nos evangelhos (João 8:12), foi associado ao simbolismo solar, e a sua ressurreição passou a ser celebrada como uma vitória sobre a morte, semelhante ao retorno triunfal do Sol no solstício. A iconografia cristã também reflectiu esta influência: imagens de Cristo com uma auréola, reminiscentes dos raios solares, ecoavam representações de Sol Invictus e Hélios. Além disso, o mitraísmo, com os seus rituais de renovação e ênfase num salvador divino, apresentava paralelos com o Cristianismo, o que poderá ter facilitado a transição de fiéis de um culto para o outro.

Importa notar que a adopção do 25 de Dezembro como o Natal cristão não foi imediata. Registos históricos sugerem que a data só foi formalmente estabelecida no século IV, durante o reinado de Constantino e sob a influência da Igreja de Roma. O Papa Júlio I, por volta de 350 d.C., é frequentemente creditado por oficializar a celebração do nascimento de Cristo nesta data. Esta escolha foi estratégica, pois permitiu que o Cristianismo se sobrepusesse aos festivais pagãos, reinterpretando as suas tradições num contexto cristão. Paralelamente, na Sibéria, os cultos xamânicos envolvendo o cogumelo Amanita muscaria também se relacionam com o solstício de Inverno. Povos como os Evenki e os Chukchi utilizavam este cogumelo alucinogénio em rituais para enfrentar o rigoroso Inverno, induzindo visões de renas voadoras e trenós, que alguns estudiosos associam à origem das lendas do Pai Natal. A Amanita muscaria, com o seu píleo vermelho e branco, crescia sob pinheiros, que se tornaram símbolos das árvores de Natal. Os xamãs siberianos distribuíam estes cogumelos secos como "presentes" durante o solstício, muitas vezes entrando nas casas pela chaminé devido à neve, um costume que ecoa na figura do Pai Natal. Assim, tanto o culto de Sol Invictus como os rituais siberianos da Amanita muscaria convergem no simbolismo do solstício de Inverno, influenciando, de formas distintas, as tradições natalícias cristãs.

A escolha de 25 de Dezembro facilitou a integração de tradições pagãs, como a Saturnália e os cultos solares, numa narrativa cristã, com Jesus como a "Luz do Mundo".

Assim, o culto de Sol Invictus e as suas raízes no culto romano a Sol desempenharam um papel crucial na formação das celebrações cristãs do Natal. A amalgamação de elementos pagãos e cristãos reflecte a capacidade do Cristianismo de se adaptar às culturas locais, transformando símbolos e rituais profundamente enraizados em novas expressões de fé. Este processo de sincretismo não só garantiu a sobrevivência do Cristianismo num mundo religiosamente diverso, como também moldou a forma como o Natal é celebrado até hoje, com ecos das antigas tradições solares ainda presentes na sua simbologia de luz e renovação.

I. Historical Foundations of U.S. Monetary Architecture

The early monetary system of the United States was built atop inherited commodity money conventions from Europe’s maritime economies. Silver and gold coins—primarily Spanish pieces of eight, Dutch guilders, and other foreign specie—formed the basis of colonial commerce. These units were already integrated into international trade and piracy networks and functioned with natural compatibility across England, France, Spain, and Denmark. Lacking a centralized mint or formal currency, the U.S. adopted these forms de facto.

As security risks and the practical constraints of physical coinage mounted, banks emerged to warehouse specie and issue redeemable certificates. These certificates evolved into fiduciary media—claims on specie not actually in hand. Banks observed over time that substantial portions of reserves remained unclaimed for years. This enabled fractional reserve banking: issuing more claims than reserves held, so long as redemption demand stayed low. The practice was inherently unstable, prone to panics and bank runs, prompting eventual centralization through the formation of the Federal Reserve in 1913.

Following the Civil War and unstable reinstatements of gold convertibility, the U.S. sought global monetary stability. After World War II, the Bretton Woods system formalized the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency. The dollar was nominally backed by gold, but most international dollars were held offshore and recycled into U.S. Treasuries. The Nixon Shock of 1971 eliminated the gold peg, converting the dollar into pure fiat. Yet offshore dollar demand remained, sustained by oil trade mandates and the unique role of Treasuries as global reserve assets.

II. The Structure of Fiduciary Media and Treasury Demand

Under this system, foreign trade surpluses with the U.S. generate excess dollars. These surplus dollars are parked in U.S. Treasuries, thereby recycling trade imbalances into U.S. fiscal liquidity. While technically loans to the U.S. government, these purchases act like interest-only transfers—governments receive yield, and the U.S. receives spendable liquidity without principal repayment due in the short term. Debt is perpetually rolled over, rarely extinguished.

This creates an illusion of global subsidy: U.S. deficits are financed via foreign capital inflows that, in practice, function more like financial tribute systems than conventional debt markets. The underlying asset—U.S. Treasury debt—functions as the base reserve asset of the dollar system, replacing gold in post-Bretton Woods monetary logic.

III. Emergence of Tether and the Parastatal Dollar

Tether (USDT), as a private issuer of dollar-denominated tokens, mimics key central bank behaviors while operating outside the regulatory perimeter. It mints tokens allegedly backed 1:1 by U.S. dollars or dollar-denominated securities (mostly Treasuries). These tokens circulate globally, often in jurisdictions with limited banking access, and increasingly serve as synthetic dollar substitutes.

If USDT gains dominance as the preferred medium of exchange—due to technological advantages, speed, programmability, or access—it displaces Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) not through devaluation, but through functional obsolescence. Gresham’s Law inverts: good money (more liquid, programmable, globally transferable USDT) displaces bad (FRNs) even if both maintain a nominal 1:1 parity.

Over time, this preference translates to a systemic demand shift. Actors increasingly use Tether instead of FRNs, especially in global commerce, digital marketplaces, or decentralized finance. Tether tokens effectively become shadow base money.

IV. Interaction with Commercial Banking and Redemption Mechanics

Under traditional fractional reserve systems, commercial banks issue loans denominated in U.S. dollars, expanding the money supply. When borrowers repay loans, this destroys the created dollars and contracts monetary elasticity. If borrowers repay in USDT instead of FRNs:

• Banks receive a non-Fed liability (USDT).
• USDT is not recognized as reserve-eligible within the Federal Reserve System.
• Banks must either redeem USDT for FRNs, or demand par-value conversion from Tether to settle reserve requirements and balance their books.

This places redemption pressure on Tether and threatens its 1:1 peg under stress. If redemption latency, friction, or cost arises, USDT’s equivalence to FRNs is compromised. Conversely, if banks are permitted or compelled to hold USDT as reserve or regulatory capital, Tether becomes a de facto reserve issuer.

In this scenario, banks may begin demanding loans in USDT, mirroring borrower behavior. For this to occur sustainably, banks must secure Tether liquidity. This creates two options: - Purchase USDT from Tether or on the secondary market, collateralized by existing fiat. - Borrow USDT directly from Tether, using bank-issued debt as collateral.

The latter mirrors Federal Reserve discount window operations. Tether becomes a lender of first resort, providing monetary elasticity to the banking system by creating new tokens against promissory assets—exactly how central banks function.

V. Structural Consequences: Parallel Central Banking

If Tether begins lending to commercial banks, issuing tokens backed by bank notes or collateralized debt obligations: - Tether controls the expansion of broad money through credit issuance. - Its balance sheet mimics a central bank, with Treasuries and bank debt as assets and tokens as liabilities. - It intermediates between sovereign debt and global liquidity demand, replacing the Federal Reserve’s open market operations with its own issuance-redemption cycles.

Simultaneously, if Tether purchases U.S. Treasuries with FRNs received through token issuance, it: - Supplies the Treasury with new liquidity (via bond purchases). - Collects yield on government debt. - Issues a parallel form of U.S. dollars that never require redemption—an interest-only loan to the U.S. government from a non-sovereign entity.

In this context, Tether performs monetary functions of both a central bank and a sovereign wealth fund, without political accountability or regulatory transparency.

VI. Endgame: Institutional Inversion and Fed Redundancy

This paradigm represents an institutional inversion:

• The Federal Reserve becomes a legacy issuer.
• Tether becomes the operational base money provider in both retail and interbank contexts.
• Treasuries remain the foundational reserve asset, but access to them is mediated by a private intermediary.
• The dollar persists, but its issuer changes. The State becomes a fiscal agent of a decentralized financial ecosystem, not its monetary sovereign.

Unless the Federal Reserve reasserts control—either by absorbing Tether, outlawing its instruments, or integrating its tokens into the reserve framework—it risks becoming irrelevant in the daily function of money.

Tether, in this configuration, is no longer a derivative of the dollar—it is the dollar, just one level removed from sovereign control. The future of monetary sovereignty under such a regime is post-national and platform-mediated.

The global financial system is creaking under its own weight. The IMF is urging banks to shore up capital, cut risk, and brace for impact. Basel III is their answer, a last-ditch effort to reinforce a brittle foundation.

But behind the scenes, a quieter revolution is under way.

Bitcoin, the world’s first stateless digital asset, is no longer on the sidelines. It’s entering the Basel conversation: not by invitation, but by inevitability.

Basel III: The System’s Self-Diagnosis

Basel III is more than a technical rulebook. It’s a confession: an admission that the global banking system is vulnerable. Created in the aftermath of 2008, it calls for: • Stronger capital reserves: So banks can survive losses. • Lower leverage: To reduce the domino effect of overexposure. • Liquidity buffers: To weather short-term shocks without collapsing.

But here’s the kicker: these rules are hostile to anything outside the fiat system. Bitcoin gets hit with a punitive 1,250% risk weight. That means for every $1 of exposure, banks must hold $1 in capital. The message from regulators? “You can hold Bitcoin, but you’ll pay for it.”

Yet that fear: based framing misses a bigger truth: Bitcoin doesn’t just survive in this environment. It thrives in it.

Bitcoin: A Parallel System, Built on Hard Rules

Where Basel III imposes “fiat discipline” from the top down, Bitcoin enforces it from the bottom up: with code, math, and transparency.

Bitcoin is not just a hedge. It’s a structural antidote to systemic fragility.

Volatility: A Strategic Asset

Yes, Bitcoin is volatile. But in a system that devalues fiat on a schedule, volatility is simply the cost of freedom. Under Basel III, banks are expected to build capital buffers during economic expansions.

What asset allows you to build those buffers faster than Bitcoin in a bull market?

When the cycle turns, those reserves act as shock absorbers: converting volatility into resilience. It’s anti-fragility in motion.

Liquidity: Real, Deep, and Global

Bitcoin settled over $19 trillion in transactions in 2024. That’s not hypothetical liquidity. it’s real, measurable flow. Unlike traditional high-quality liquid assets (HQLAs), Bitcoin is: • Available 24/7 • Borderless • Not dependent on central banks

By traditional definitions, Bitcoin is rapidly qualifying for HQLA status. Even if regulators aren’t ready to admit it.

Diversification: Breaking the Fiat Dependency

Basel III is designed to pull banks back into the fiat matrix. But Bitcoin offers an escape hatch. Strategic Bitcoin reserves are not about speculation, they’re insurance. For family offices, institutions, and sovereign funds, Bitcoin is the lifeboat when the fiat ship starts taking on water.

Regulatory Realignment: The System Reacts

The Basel Committee’s new rules on crypto exposures went live in January 2025. Around the world, regulators are scrambling to define their stance. Every new restriction placed on Bitcoin only strengthens its legitimacy, as more institutions ask: Why so much resistance, if it’s not a threat?

Bitcoin doesn’t need permission. It’s already being adopted by over 150 public companies, forward-looking states, and a new class of self-sovereign individuals.

Conclusion: The Real Question

This isn’t just about Bitcoin fitting into Basel III.

The real question is: How long can Basel III remain relevant in a world where Bitcoin exists?

Bitcoin is not the risk. It’s the reality check. And it might just be the strongest capital buffer the system has ever seen.

Gradually then suddenly.

I've been eager to share my thoughts on "Return of the Strong Gods" by R.R. Reno since I finished it a week ago.

I found this book incredibly insightful. @SimpleStacker's excellent review prompted me to pick it up, and I'm glad I did. While I won't be providing a full review, I will share some of the key insights and thoughts that resonated with me.

Reno masterfully dissects the sociological underpinnings of the political shifts in the US and the Western world over the past decade and a half. His analysis of the rise of populism and nationalism is compelling and rings true to my personal observations. Reno's central thesis is that post-WW2, the West embraced "weaker gods"—ideals like democracy, pluralism, and liberalism—fearing a repeat of the strong nationalistic sentiments that led to Hitler's rise. He argues that this shift has left many people feeling culturally homeless and desperate for strong leadership that listens to their grievances.

A significant portion of Reno's argument is built on the ideas of Karl Popper, a philosopher I was unfamiliar with before reading this book. Popper's work "The Open Society and Its Enemies" has significantly influenced post-war consensus, which Reno argues has led to a disconnect between the political elite and the common people. This disconnect, he posits, is a primary driver of populist sentiments.

Reno also delves into economics, discussing Friedrich Hayek and his agreement with some of Popper's positions. This intersection of philosophy and economics provides a unique lens through which to view the political landscape. Reno's mention of the Treaty of Versailles as a catalyst for Hitler's rise is a point often overlooked in discussions about WW2. He argues that the punitive measures imposed on Germany created an environment ripe for a strongman to emerge.

One of the most compelling aspects of Reno's argument is his explanation of how the political elite often lose touch with the values and wishes of the people they represent. He draws a powerful analogy between cultural homelessness and the desperation that drives people to seek strong leadership. This section of the book particularly resonated with me, as it aligns with my own observations of the political climate.

I would have liked Reno to start his analysis with Woodrow Wilson, whose "making the world safe for democracy" slogan embodied a form of Christian nationalism. Wilson's ideals and the post-WW1 environment laid the groundwork for the open society movement, which Reno critiques. Exploring this historical context could have strengthened Reno's argument.

Reno occasionally conflates economic liberalism with libertinism, which I found to be a minor flaw in an otherwise strong argument. He rightly points out the need for moral ethics in society but seems to overlook the distinction between economic freedom and moral laxity. Reno's discussion of Milton Friedman's ideas further highlights this confusion. While Reno argues that free trade has contributed to many of our modern ills, I believe the issue lies more with nation-state trade agreements like NAFTA, which are not true examples of free trade.

Another area where I disagree with Reno is his conflation of the nation with the state. Nations are cultural entities that predate and can exist independently of states. Reno's argument would be stronger if he acknowledged this distinction, as it would clarify his points about national pride and cultural heritage.

Reno's final chapters offer a cautionary tale about the return of strong gods and the danger of making them idols. He warns against authoritarianism and the overreach of the state, advocating for a balance that respects cultural heritage without succumbing to nationalism.

In conclusion, "Return of the Strong Gods" is a thought-provoking exploration of the political and cultural shifts of our time. Reno's insights are valuable, and his arguments, while not without flaws, provide a fresh perspective on the rise of populism and nationalism. I recommend this book to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the forces shaping our world today.

A francia székhelyű Newcleo, az olasz dizájncég Pininfarina és az olasz hajógyártó Fincantieri bemutatták a TL-40 nevű, következő generációs, hajókra szánt nukleáris reaktor teljes méretű modelljét a 19. Velencei Építészeti Biennálén[1][2][5][6][7].

A TL-40 reaktor főbb jellemzői

• IV. generációs, ólom-hűtésű kis moduláris reaktor (SMR), amelyet nagy hajók meghajtására fejlesztettek ki[1][2][5][6].
• Kompakt, biztonságos és fenntartható: A reaktor passzív biztonsági rendszereket alkalmaz, amelyek a fizika törvényein keresztül kizárják a nukleáris balesetek lehetőségét[2][5][6].
• Nukleáris hulladék újrahasznosítása: A TL-40 képes újrafeldolgozott nukleáris hulladékot üzemanyagként használni, ezzel egyszerre járul hozzá az energiatermeléshez és a hulladékcsökkentéshez[1][2][5][6].
• Formatervezés és ipari háttér: A Pininfarina gondoskodott a dizájnról és a reaktor esztétikai megjelenéséről, míg a Fincantieri a hajógyártási tapasztalatát adta hozzá[1][2][5][6][7].
• Nyitott konfiguráció: A reaktor vázája lehetővé teszi a látogatók számára, hogy belülről is megismerjék a technológiát, interaktív módon[1][2][5].

Technológiai és környezeti jelentőség

• Dekarbonizáció: A fejlesztés célja, hogy a nukleáris energiát a hajózás szektorában is a szén-dioxid-kibocsátás csökkentésének eszközeként alkalmazzák[1][2][5][6].
• Európai hulladék hasznosítása: A jelenleg Európában tárolt nukleáris hulladék elegendő lenne a kontinens villamosenergia-igényének fedezésére évszázadokon át, ha ilyen típusú reaktorokban hasznosítanák[2][5][6].
• Kreatív szemlélet: A projekt célja a nukleáris energia társadalmi megítélésének javítása, bemutatva, hogy az lehet egyszerre biztonságos, esztétikus és fenntartható[1][5][6][7].

Együttműködés és jövőbeli tervek

• Folyamatos együttműködés: A Newcleo és a Fincantieri 2023 óta dolgoznak együtt a tengeri alkalmazások fejlesztésén[2][5][6][7].
• Kutatás-fejlesztés: A Pininfarina a Newcleo franciaországi (Chusclan) nukleáris üzemanyag kutató-fejlesztő központjának tervezésében is részt vesz[2][5][6][7].
• Első demonstrációs reaktor: A Newcleo célja, hogy 2031-re bemutassa az első demonstrációs reaktort, 2033-ra pedig kereskedelmi forgalomba hozza azt[8].
• Földi alkalmazás: A vállalat már megkezdte a földi, ólom-hűtésű LFR-AS-30 reaktor telephelyének előkészítését Franciaországban (Chinon régió)[8].
• Európai támogatás: Az LFR dizájn 2024 októberében felkerült az Európai Ipari Szövetség támogatásra javasolt SMR-listájára[8].

Idézetek a projekt vezetőitől

„Ez nem a nagyapáink reaktora. Fenntartható, előremutató technológia, amely a való világ és a klímaváltozás kihívásaira készült.”
(Stefano Buono, a Newcleo vezérigazgatója)[1][5][6][7]

„A dizájn stratégiai szerepet játszik a fenntartható energia megoldások fejlesztésében, biztosítva a társadalmi és környezeti szempontok teljes integrációját az innovációs folyamat során.”
(Silvio Angori, a Pininfarina vezérigazgatója)[6][7]

Bitcoin controversies are not new, in fact, bitcoin’s past has been riddled with one controversy after another. From the viewpoint of a financial investor, controversies are not good. They drive investor fear by amplifying uncertainty and introducing doubt about the future viability of the project. Although bitcoin is an investable asset, and there are certainly individuals, companies and countries who are investing in bitcoin strictly as a new, diversified financial asset that shows growth characteristics the likes of which humanity has rarely seen, bitcoin is not exclusively a financial instrument. Bitcoin is a network that is only as strong as the people running the miners who create the blocks, the nodes that propagate the blocks, and the users who hold the keys.

In this post I do not care to share my view on any of the latest bitcoin controversies, whether that be about OP_RETURNs, MSTR, Blackrock, MSTY, inscriptions, soft fork proposals, mempools, bitcoin strategic reserves, 21, chain surveillance, on-chain privacy, shitcoins projects, or anything else that anyone cares to opine about on Nostr or X to signal their support or opposition for what they think is critical to the success or failure of bitcoin. What I do care to share here is the ONLY winning strategy to defend bitcoin no matter what your opinion its future: USE THE TOOLS, RUN THE CODE, HOLD YOUR KEYS, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

In my humble opinion, the biggest problem with the current batch of bitcoin controversies is that so many people are sharing their opinions and expressing their fears about the future of bitcoin who are not even using the tools; they aren’t running the code, supporting the network or even holding their own keys. Everyone is free to share their opinions about the future of bitcoin and allowing everyone a voice is critical if we are serious about adopting the best ideas. Many visionaries have participated in the growth and development of bitcoin up to this point; we are truly standing on the shoulders of giants.
But before jumping to conclusions and spreading opinions about whether people are good faith or bad faith actors in the bitcoin space, I believe we should all hold ourselves to a certain standard. Set a minimum threshold of education for yourself before you jump on one side or the other of the latest controversy. We have tools that offer a level of sovereignty that is unparalleled in the legacy financial world, are you using them?

Don’t like what MSTR is doing? Hold your keys in cold storage, then share your opinion.

Think Blackrock wants to use Bitcoin to launch a dystopian new world order agenda? Tell everyone to run a node, implement on-chain privacy strategies and hold their keys in cold storage.

Are Bitcoin developers making changes you don’t like? Use an alternative implementation, get a Bitaxe and construct your own block templates; for almost everyone this will be a stronger signal than shitposting or spreading FUD on the socials.

If you really want to defend bitcoin, think about how you are using it today. Who are you trusting to put your transactions into a block? Who are you trusting to propagate your transactions across the network? Who are you trusting to hold your keys? Who estimates your transaction fees? If you don’t trust the people who you are currently depending on, move your trust elsewhere, or increase your sovereignty and rely on yourself for some, or all, of these functions.

We make bitcoin what it is today, and we will define what bitcoin will be in the future. If we want to defend bitcoin it is our responsibility to keep it as decentralized as possible and that starts with every individual using the tools, running the code, doing the research and taking responsibility for their money.

I know, I know, this is really throw together. The boot dryer/warmer is actually just balancing on there. I need to design (or have designed) something WAY simpler and just print that.

...But does it work? YES! It works like...really well!

Here's the original product:

It was on clearance at Home Depot, and I was like, "wouldn't that be more efficient if it came with a bitcoin rebate?" Anyway, anybody here do CAD design? I'm sure this would be way more efficient if I just had the tubes and not the whole box. My next step will be to gut the innards of that box, but it'd be better to just start off with something clean.

Someone asked for my thoughts, so I’ll share them thoughtfully. I’m not here to dictate how to promote Nostr—I’m still learning about it myself. While I’m not new to Nostr, freedom tech is a newer space for me. I’m skilled at advocating for topics I deeply understand, but freedom tech isn’t my expertise, so take my words with a grain of salt. Nothing I say is set in stone.

Those who need Nostr the most are the ones most vulnerable to censorship on other platforms right now. Reaching them requires real-time awareness of global issues and the dynamic relationships between governments and tech providers, which can shift suddenly. Effective Nostr promoters must grasp this and adapt quickly.

The best messengers are people from or closely tied to these at-risk regions—those who truly understand the local political and cultural dynamics. They can connect with those in need when tensions rise. Ideal promoters are rational, trustworthy, passionate about Nostr, but above all, dedicated to amplifying people’s voices when it matters most.

Forget influencers, corporate-backed figures, or traditional online PR—it comes off as inauthentic, corny, desperate and forced. Nostr’s promotion should be grassroots and organic, driven by a few passionate individuals who believe in Nostr and the communities they serve.

The idea that “people won’t join Nostr due to lack of reach” is nonsense. Everyone knows X’s “reach” is mostly with bots. If humans want real conversations, Nostr is the place. X is great for propaganda, but Nostr is for the authentic voices of the people.

Those spreading Nostr must be so passionate they’re willing to onboard others, which is time-consuming but rewarding for the right person. They’ll need to make Nostr and onboarding a core part of who they are. I see no issue with that level of dedication. I’ve been known to get that way myself at times. It’s fun for some folks.

With love, I suggest not adding Bitcoin promotion with Nostr outreach. Zaps already integrate that element naturally. (Still promote within the Bitcoin ecosystem, but this is about reaching vulnerable voices who needed Nostr yesterday.)

To promote Nostr, forget conventional strategies. “Influencers” aren’t the answer. “Influencers” are not the future. A trusted local community member has real influence—reach them. Connect with people seeking Nostr’s benefits but lacking the technical language to express it. This means some in the Nostr community might need to step outside of the Bitcoin bubble, which is uncomfortable but necessary. Thank you in advance to those who are willing to do that.

I don’t know who is paid to promote Nostr, if anyone. This piece isn’t shade. But it’s exhausting to see innocent voices globally silenced on corporate platforms like X while Nostr exists. Last night, I wondered: how many more voices must be censored before the Nostr community gets uncomfortable and thinks creatively to reach the vulnerable?

A warning: the global need for censorship-resistant social media is undeniable. If Nostr doesn’t make itself known, something else will fill that void. Let’s start this conversation.

The second round of the NBA Playoffs is historically weird. We'll try to figure out what's going wrong for all three of the presumed contenders. Which of the other East teams need to be considered contenders now? With how bad the Warriors look without Steph (just how underrated is he?), do the Warriors still have any chance?

In Blok'd Shots, we'll talk about the NHL Star who got traded midseason and then beat his former team in the playoffs.

There was a big trade in the NFL. Plus, @grayruby wants to start a media beef with Colin Cowherd.

The MLB introduced a new stat. I have no idea what it is, but I'm looking forward to trying to understand it live on air.

And, of course, lots of contest and betting updates.

What do you want us to talk about?

My last article, I wrote about DePIN, a passive income that is easily accessible and something to consider as supplemental income. This week I want to discuss another form of finance. Let’s face it: when most of us hear the word “finance”, our eyes glaze over faster than a donut in a Krispy Kreme factory.

It conjures images of Wall Street suits, casino type crypto scams, and incomprehensible jargon. What if I told you that finance could be regenerative? Could your money heal the world?

Regenerative Finance is what I’m discussing; ReFi if you want to sound cool. Regenerative finance is a movement that’s quietly transforming how we think about money, investment and our collective future. Let’s dive down the rabbit hole and take a journey into a world where your money can make things better.

You’re at a party and someone asks what you do for a living. You say, “I work in sustainable finance.” Boring to most, they politely nod. But what if you said, “I work in regenerative finance. We invest in projects that restore rainforests, rebuild communities and make money while healing the planet.” How interesting, right?

What is sustainable? It is about not making things worse, just sustaining them. On the other hand, regenerative finance restores, renews and improves systems, making sure things are better when you leave than when you arrived.

Regeneration systems imagine every dollar invested helps a forest grow, a community thrive or a river run clear again. Remember sustainability is about keeping things as they are. Regeneration is about making things better.

Here’s a real-world example: The Savory Institute works with ranchers to restore grasslands using holistic grazing. Investors in their projects don’t just avoid harm, they rebuild the soil, increase biodiversity, and capture carbon. That’s money making a difference.

Regenerative finance asks, “How will the investment affect people, planet and profit, not just today, but decades from now?” Another real-world example, Ecosia, the search engine that plants trees, invests profits into reforestation projects worldwide. Their financial model considers long term ecological health, not just quarterly returns.

ReFi isn’t about faceless corporations. It’s about empowering local communities and restoring ecosystems. Think of it as crowdfunding Mother Earth.

How does all this magic happen? Here are a few ways to invest.

IMPACT INVESTING As examples from above, this is where you put your money into projects that actively restore ecosystems, empower communities or fight climate change. FUNDING BONDS These are bonds issued on blockchain platforms to fund sustainable projects. They are managed by smart contracts and investors get digital tokens representing their share. Think about this as an early adopter.

TOKENIZATION This is taking real-world assets and turning them into digital tokens. Think carbon credits. There’s no Wall Street middleman which makes it easier to track, invest and trade in regenerative projects. You can have fractional ownership with tokenization which means easier access to more assets.

Real estate has moved into fractional ownership using tokenization. The threshold to invest has lowered immensely with this practice.

The world is facing some big problems with climate change, inequality, biodiversity loss and I could go on. Traditional finance hasn’t exactly been successful. Regenerative finance offers a new way forward.

By focusing on restoring rather than just sustaining, we create resilient, equitable and thriving systems for future generations. As someone who is 64 years old, I was taught to leave the world better than you found it.

There has been much speculation over the years about the next evolution of the internet and business. How will we adapt? What will financial systems look like?

Let’s look at some projects that are already making a difference: Eden Reforestation Project Employs local communities to plant millions of trees, restoring ecosystems and creating jobs.

Kiva Community lending to entrepreneurs in developing countries, empowering them out of poverty.

Mosaic Solar projects, investing, earning returns while helping the planet.

KlimaDAO This DAO uses blockchain to buy and retire carbon credits, driving up the price of pollution and funding climate action.

Look for reputable ReFi projects or platforms that align with your values. Many platforms have low minimum investment thresholds making it easier for anyone to participate.

You don’t need to be a billionaire or a blockchain wizard to get involved in the regenerative finance revolution. Individuals can invest in ReFi initiatives through several accessible pathways, any of which leverage new technologies and community-driven models to make participation easier and more transparent.

Regenerative finance changes the way you think about money, value and your place in the world. Putting your dollars to work for people and planet, you can be a part of building a thriving future.

Regenerative finance addresses the shortcomings of traditional finance which often prioritizes short term profit over long term environmental and social costs. The core idea behind ReFi is that financial systems should restore, and grow society’s economic, social and environmental systems.

Regenerative finance represents a transformative shift in how capital is allocated and managed. By integrating advanced technology, community participation, and a focus on ecological and social renewal, ReFi seeks to build a financial system that not only generates returns but also restores and strengthens the foundations of a sustainable and healthy future.

As the world moves forward in different ways of finance and business, I hope this information was useful for you. The different monetary systems and financial markets are growing. ReFi is an alternative finance system becoming a movement. If you are interested in other financial systems or know of any, please let me know. Thank you for reading. Be fabulous, Sandra Abrams Onboard60 Founder

Dear reader,

HODLing was never the end goal.

HODLing Bitcoin is smart. It always has been. If you held through the Mt. Gox hacks, China bans, the 2017 Blocksize wars, the 2018 bloodbath, and the FTX clownery of 2022, then you already know. Bitcoin rewards conviction.

But let’s not forget why you got in.

It was never just about watching numbers go up. You felt something. Something deep. A quiet voice inside said, “This system is broken. I’m done playing by its rules.” - That is where it all began.

Back in 2008, while the banks were crashing the economy and handing you the bill, Bitcoin showed up as a silent answer. A lifeboat. A revolution wrapped in code.

The whitepaper starts with a simple, powerful idea: "A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution."

https://plebsite.net/cdn/shop/files/Bitcoin_Whitepaper-Poster-3.jpg

And Bitcoin has lived up to that vision.

You saw it in El Salvador when they made it legal tender — even if they later made it optional. You saw it when WikiLeaks used Bitcoin after getting cut off by banks. You saw the Silk Road prove what peer-to-peer money really means. No matter what you think of those examples, one thing is clear: It worked. It was used. It still works.

Today, Bitcoin powers circular economies across the world — in Costa Rica, South Africa, Brazil, and beyond. People are using it because their local money fails them. Bitcoin became more than a store of value. It became a tool for survival and sovereignty.

https://imageio.forbes.com/specials-images/imageserve/67e422a1808f4902b8a1c6bc/Bitcoin-Ekasi-Center/960x0.jpg?format=jpg&width=1440

And now, look at you.

You believed early. You stacked. You held. And now, you have more Bitcoin than you ever imagined. Your needs are met. Your wants, too. You held through it all. And maybe now, you’ve found some stability, maybe even freedom. You stayed patient. You played the long game. You won.

So now the question is simple: What will your Bitcoin build?

Let me paint you a picture- Somewhere out there, there is a young soul maybe in Lagos, maybe in Buenos Aires, maybe right next door. This person might be working on a new privacy tool that protects free expression. Or developing a drone taxi system to change the way people move in growing cities. Or creating a decentralized alternative to platforms like Patreon, where no one is silenced for thinking differently.

They do not have powerful connections. They are not sitting in fancy offices or attending tech conferences. They are building quietly, with conviction and hope.

You can be the magical wand in their life. Your belief and support can turn someone's idea into something real. You can help create the next chapter of their story.

Angor allows you to do exactly that. It gives you a way to fund builders directly, using your Bitcoin. The process is safe and structured. You support projects in stages, and the funds only move forward when clear milestones are completed. Everything is on-chain, using Bitcoin scripts and time-locked contracts to ensure accountability.

This is how the ecosystem grows.

Where do you go now that HODLing was just the beginning?

Here’s what you do:

1. Check the Proposal

Go read the Angor docs. It’s not some bloated whitepaper. It’s clean, clear, and you’ll get it. Here’s the link - https://docs.angor.io/start/.

2. Join the Talk on Nostr

Nostr is where real, uncensored conversation is happening. It is decentralized and open by design. Use a client like Primal or Damus to dive in. Or check out nostr.band to explore what people are building and sharing across the network.

This is where ideas take shape. Builders post updates. Communities give feedback. The next wave of innovation is already in motion — and you can be part of it.

Follow Angor on Nostr: nostr:nprofile1qqs8p3ywfd92w7zvjgy7wrpylz8t30hy3z5dc5al4070l9y8qr8rejcksnh5c

3. Contribute

Whatever your skill is writing, design, coding, memes, Angor has room for you. Get on GitHub. Even if you just report a bug or suggest a feature, it helps. Or you could even fork the code and do as you wish.

4. Explore Angor Hub

This is the cockpit. It’s where you find new projects, track progress, talk to founders and make moves. Dive in. It’s live.

https://docs.angor.io/images/tools/hub.png

Final Thoughts

Bitcoin gave us the base layer. It proved that peer-to-peer money works. But that was just the beginning. Now it’s time to build the next layer together.

And no, this is not about another meme coin or a monkey NFT. This is about real infrastructure. Real value. Real use cases.

Angor is for the misfits, the dreamers, the people who read the whitepaper and said, “Yeah, this is the way.”

So if you have Bitcoin, do not treat it like a relic from a past battle. Use it to empower the next builder. Fund a project. Spark a new idea. Help decentralize the next thing.

You got into Bitcoin to protect your future maybe even to get rich but also to bring some change to the world.

HODLing was the first act.

Building is the second.

Angor is where we build.

Let’s make sure the next wave of Bitcoiners do not just see price charts. Let them see tools, apps, ideas, and communities that actually do something. Real things. Useful things. Built on the hardest money the world has ever known.

You in?

Thanks for reading, See y’all soon for another blog post. Ciao
