Biochar in the soil attracts microbes who take up permanent residence in the "coral reef" the biochar provides. Those microbes then attract mycorrhizal fungi to the reef. The mycorrhizal fungi are also attached to plant roots connecting diverse populations to each other, allowing transportation of molecular resources (water, cations, anions etc).
The char surface area attracts positively charged ions like
K+
Ca2+
Mg2+
NH4+
Na+
H+
Al3+
Fe2+
Fe3+
Mn2+
Cu2+
Zn2+
Many of these are transferred to plant roots by mycorrhizal fungi in exchange for photosynthetic products (sugars). Mycorrhizal fungi are connected to both plant roots and biochar. Char adsorbs these cations so, it stands to reason that under periods of minimal need by plants for these cations (stress, low or no sunlight etc.), mycorrhizal fungi could deposit the cations to the char surfaces. The char would be acting as a "bank" for the cations and the deposition would be of low energy cost.
Once the plant starts exuding photosynthetic products again, signaling a need for these cations, the fungi can start "stripping" the cations off of the char surface for immediate exchange of the cations for the sugars. This would be a high energy transaction because the fungi would have to expend energy to strip the cations off of the char surface, in effect, an "interest rate".
The char might act as a reservoir of cations that were mined by the fungi while the sugar flow from the roots was active. It's a bank.

Here’s a revised timeline of macro-level events from *The Mandibles: A Family, 2029–2047* by Lionel Shriver, reimagined in a world where Bitcoin is adopted as a widely accepted form of money, altering the original narrative’s assumptions about currency collapse and economic control. In Shriver’s original story, the failure of Bitcoin is assumed amid the dominance of the bancor and the dollar’s collapse. Here, Bitcoin’s success reshapes the economic and societal trajectory, decentralizing power and challenging state-driven outcomes.
### Part One: 2029–2032
- **2029 (Early Year)**\
The United States faces economic strain as the dollar weakens against global shifts. However, Bitcoin, having gained traction emerges as a viable alternative. Unlike the original timeline, the bancor—a supranational currency backed by a coalition of nations—struggles to gain footing as Bitcoin’s decentralized adoption grows among individuals and businesses worldwide, undermining both the dollar and the bancor.
- **2029 (Mid-Year: The Great Renunciation)**\
Treasury bonds lose value, and the government bans Bitcoin, labeling it a threat to sovereignty (mirroring the original bancor ban). However, a Bitcoin ban proves unenforceable—its decentralized nature thwarts confiscation efforts, unlike gold in the original story. Hyperinflation hits the dollar as the U.S. prints money, but Bitcoin’s fixed supply shields adopters from currency devaluation, creating a dual-economy split: dollar users suffer, while Bitcoin users thrive.
- **2029 (Late Year)**\
Dollar-based inflation soars, emptying stores of goods priced in fiat currency. Meanwhile, Bitcoin transactions flourish in underground and online markets, stabilizing trade for those plugged into the bitcoin ecosystem. Traditional supply chains falter, but peer-to-peer Bitcoin networks enable local and international exchange, reducing scarcity for early adopters. The government’s gold confiscation fails to bolster the dollar, as Bitcoin’s rise renders gold less relevant.
- **2030–2031**\
Crime spikes in dollar-dependent urban areas, but Bitcoin-friendly regions see less chaos, as digital wallets and smart contracts facilitate secure trade. The U.S. government doubles down on surveillance to crack down on bitcoin use. A cultural divide deepens: centralized authority weakens in Bitcoin-adopting communities, while dollar zones descend into lawlessness.
- **2032**\
By this point, Bitcoin is de facto legal tender in parts of the U.S. and globally, especially in tech-savvy or libertarian-leaning regions. The federal government’s grip slips as tax collection in dollars plummets—Bitcoin’s traceability is low, and citizens evade fiat-based levies. Rural and urban Bitcoin hubs emerge, while the dollar economy remains fractured.
### Time Jump: 2032–2047
- Over 15 years, Bitcoin solidifies as a global reserve currency, eroding centralized control. The U.S. government adapts, grudgingly integrating bitcoin into policy, though regional autonomy grows as Bitcoin empowers local economies.
### Part Two: 2047
- **2047 (Early Year)**\
The U.S. is a hybrid state: Bitcoin is legal tender alongside a diminished dollar. Taxes are lower, collected in BTC, reducing federal overreach. Bitcoin’s adoption has decentralized power nationwide. The bancor has faded, unable to compete with Bitcoin’s grassroots momentum.
- **2047 (Mid-Year)**\
Travel and trade flow freely in Bitcoin zones, with no restrictive checkpoints. The dollar economy lingers in poorer areas, marked by decay, but Bitcoin’s dominance lifts overall prosperity, as its deflationary nature incentivizes saving and investment over consumption. Global supply chains rebound, powered by bitcoin enabled efficiency.
- **2047 (Late Year)**\
The U.S. is a patchwork of semi-autonomous zones, united by Bitcoin’s universal acceptance rather than federal control. Resource scarcity persists due to past disruptions, but economic stability is higher than in Shriver’s original dystopia—Bitcoin’s success prevents the authoritarian slide, fostering a freer, if imperfect, society.
### Key Differences
- **Currency Dynamics**: Bitcoin’s triumph prevents the bancor’s dominance and mitigates hyperinflation’s worst effects, offering a lifeline outside state control.
- **Government Power**: Centralized authority weakens as Bitcoin evades bans and taxation, shifting power to individuals and communities.
- **Societal Outcome**: Instead of a surveillance state, 2047 sees a decentralized, bitcoin driven world—less oppressive, though still stratified between Bitcoin haves and have-nots.
This reimagining assumes Bitcoin overcomes Shriver’s implied skepticism to become a robust, adopted currency by 2029, fundamentally altering the novel’s bleak trajectory.

การที่สหรัฐอเมริกาปรับมูลค่าทองคำในคลัง (re-peg) จะมีผลกระทบที่สำคัญต่อทั้งระบบการเงินโลกและบิทคอยน์ ด้วยเหตุผลต่างๆ ที่อาจเกิดขึ้นดังนี้:
ทองคำในฐานะสินทรัพย์เก็บมูลค่า: หากสหรัฐอเมริกาปรับราคาทองคำจาก 42 ดอลลาร์ต่อออนซ์เป็นราคาปัจจุบันที่สูงถึง 2,953.5 ดอลลาร์ต่อออนซ์ การปรับนี้จะทำให้ทองคำได้รับความนิยมและมีมูลค่าเพิ่มขึ้นอย่างมากในมุมมองของนักลงทุนทั่วโลก ส่งผลให้ทองคำมีบทบาทสำคัญขึ้นในระบบการเงิน อีกทั้งยังเป็นทางเลือกการลงทุนที่น่าสนใจมากขึ้นในฐานะ "safe haven" หรือสินทรัพย์ที่ปลอดภัย.
ผลกระทบต่อตลาดดอลลาร์สหรัฐ: การประเมินมูลค่าทองคำใหม่จะทำให้ค่าเงินดอลลาร์อ่อนค่าลง เนื่องจากทองคำถูกมองว่าเป็นตัวบ่งชี้ความมั่งคั่งและเสถียรภาพทางการเงิน การอ่อนค่าของดอลลาร์อาจส่งผลให้บิทคอยน์เป็นที่น่าสนใจมากขึ้นในฐานะสินทรัพย์ที่ไม่ขึ้นกับเงินดอลลาร์และธนาคารกลางใด ๆ.
การเติบโตของบิทคอยน์: เมื่อระบบการเงินดั้งเดิม (เช่น ดอลลาร์สหรัฐ) เริ่มสั่นคลอนหรือลดความน่าเชื่อถือ บิทคอยน์ซึ่งเป็นสินทรัพย์ดิจิทัลที่ไม่ขึ้นกับรัฐบาลหรือธนาคารกลางก็จะได้รับความสนใจมากขึ้นจากนักลงทุนที่ต้องการหลีกเลี่ยงความเสี่ยงในระบบการเงินแบบดั้งเดิม นอกจากนี้บิทคอยน์ยังถือเป็นสินทรัพย์ที่มีการจำกัดจำนวน (21 ล้าน BTC) ซึ่งถือว่าเป็นการป้องกันภาวะเงินเฟ้อที่มักจะเกิดขึ้นจากการพิมพ์เงินจำนวนมากโดยธนาคารกลาง.
การปรับตัวของประเทศอื่นๆ: หากสหรัฐฯ ปรับมูลค่าทองคำใหม่ ประเทศอื่นๆ อาจจำเป็นต้องปรับเปลี่ยนมูลค่าทองคำของตนเองเพื่อตอบสนองต่อการเปลี่ยนแปลงนี้ และอาจเห็นการเคลื่อนไหวในการสนับสนุนสินทรัพย์ดิจิทัลอย่างบิทคอยน์มากขึ้นเพื่อกระจายความเสี่ยงจากการพึ่งพาระบบการเงินดอลลาร์สหรัฐ.
สรุปได้ว่า หากการปรับมูลค่าทองคำของสหรัฐเป็นจริง การเคลื่อนไหวนี้อาจเป็นตัวกระตุ้นให้บิทคอยน์เติบโตขึ้น เนื่องจากนักลงทุนมองหาทางเลือกที่ปลอดภัยจากความไม่แน่นอนในระบบการเงินดั้งเดิม และเพิ่มการยอมรับในสินทรัพย์ดิจิทัลมากขึ้น.

Existem diversas corretoras onde você pode comprar e vender bitcoins e outras moedas. O ideal é sempre escolher empresas idoneas e com boa fama, para isso, antes de ir comprando bitcoin conheça pessoas que usam estas corretoras, veja os depoimentos destas pessoas sobre esta plataforma, isso é bem básico e serve para qualquer coisa.
Geralmente estas exchanges (corretoras) exigem alguns dados pessoais, ou seja, são fontes de bitcoin por KYC. Para pessoas que querem ter bitcoin sem seus dados registrados é necessário a compra peer-to-peer, que é a compra direta por pessoas sem a uma "instituição financeira" mediando a transação.
Dica número 1 : Nunca deixe seus bitcoins armazenados em corretoras.
Apesar do bitcoin ainda não ter nenhum tipo de regulamentação, as corretoras por serem consideradas "instituições financeiras" são reguladas pelo Sistema Financeiro Nacional, sendo vulneráveis as decisões governamentais.
Além disso, as corretoras por movimentarem grandes quantidades de dinheiro, estão vulneráveis ataques hackears que são frequentementes.
Dica número 2: Sempre deposite seus bitcoins em carteiras
As carteiras são locais de armazenamento seguros e alguns tipos com as cold Wallet não há gestão dos seus fundos por intermediários, logo a responsabilidade pelo seu dinheiro é totalmente sua.
Sempre importante guardar e ter uma boa organização quanto as senhas de acesso, pois uma vez que perde não há nenhuma forma de recuperá-la.
Algo que o economista Fernando Roxo fala no YT que concordo plenamente ,é , que não se deve deixar todos os ovos numa cesta só. O que aplico no universo bitcoin que não se deve colocar todos os seus bitcoin em apenas uma carteira. É muito importante dificultar o máximo para os criminosos roubarem, por isso devem ter várias carteiras.
Dica número 3: Entenda que Bitcoin não é investimento, e sim uma solução econômica.
Não desista do bitcoin , só porque ele ocila de valor. O bitcoin não é um investimento a onde se aplica e você tem um lucro. O bitcoin é uma solução em decorrência da desonestidade dos governos que imprimem moedas sem valor agregado.
Este conhecimento é extremamente importante para que não se iluda com promessa de ficar milionário ou algo do tipo. O bitcoin é uma moeda segura que tem o intuito de proteger o mercado financeiro em decorrência da má fé de estados, e também uma arma contra governos.
Dica número 4 : Ajude a comunidade, comercialize em bitcoin.
Quer você seja consumidor ou produtor, faça com que seus fundos estejam em bitcoin. Apesar de estamos engatinhando no mercado há muitas iniciativas como o Bitrefill, maquininhas e software para movimentações em bitcoin que tem facilitado as transações.
Dica número 5: Conheça os termos técnico sobre este universo.
Fique sempre atualizados com os termos da comunidade com KYC, cold wallet, hot wallet, fiat ...
Assim você poderá seu um "agente" pró bitcoin e ajudar pessoas simples a entrarem neste universo e ter sua auto custódia e estarem imunes aos desgovernos.
