💭 There are some interesting noises about Bitcoin coming from the most unlikely of sources. The Czech central bank says that Bitcoin “should not be lumped together with other crypto assets.” “We central bankers should study it,” says the Bank’s governor. Meanwhile, other central banks are just as keen to distance themselves from Bitcoin. A divide about Bitcoin is opening up in the central banking world!

With the price of Bitcoin having gone significantly up over the past few months (I wrote this about a month ago to post on Stacker News), I imagine interest in acquiring it has gone up as well. As such, I'm here to share with you every method I use to stack sats so that we can all HODL more. While the majority of my experience in regards to phone apps is on Android, some of the apps mentioned may work on iPhone as well (I just got an iOS based device and intend to discover methods on there as well with time) so links provided will be the Play Store or my referral links. Some of the referral messages have included Apple App Store links by default so I've left them in.     Bitcoin Education:   First and foremost, I think that anyone seeking to acquire BTC should learn about it. From how it works, to how to acquire and then store it. As such, this first category I'm covering is for BTC education resources that also reward you with satoshis for your learning progress.   Yzer: Probably my favorite app in this category as it covers more than the others mentioned in greater depth. While the other apps do cover some aspects of the history of money, economics, and investing/finance, this one really delves into it to offer the most robust education of the bunch. I didn't even know about Austrian economics until going through the lessons provided here, and it boasts the most lessons of this category as well. Each section is divided into chapters containing a few lessons and an end-of-chapter quiz, and you have a chance of earning a few satoshis upon completion of a lesson or quiz. Use my referral code to earn an extra 50 sats upon reaching level 2: KAB4ZKD https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.wizzer.academy&pcampaignid=web_share   Simple Bitcoin: This app can be breezed through in regards to the lessons offered, allowing you to complete the learning aspect of it pretty quickly. Instead of rewarding sats outright for completion of lessons, this app rewards you with tickets you can spend to spin a wheel to earn small amounts of sats. Where this app shines is that while Yzer stops rewards when all lessons are completed, Simple Bitcoin has a news section where articles from outside sources are summarized, and reading them earns you more tickets. There is a limit to how many articles/day you can read unless you pay for premium, however, which also increases the reward amounts feature on the prize wheel. https://simplebitcoin.page.link/ozJaD6uCaUyscYWy6   Jippi: The newest of the bunch in this category, Jippi is still in its earlier stages of development and thus is the least robust. This one works a little differently as, for the time being, you need to complete all available lessons to earn a lump sum reward of 200 sats. Unlike the other educational apps, this one offers audio lessons to listen to for completion alongside the usual texts to read. While still in development, they plan to release a feature called "Tribe Clash" which they describe as "Pokemon Go for Bitcoin". https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jippiApp.jippi.prod&pcampaignid=web_share     Buying Bitcoin: So now you know about Bitcoin, but how can you buy some? While there are many crypto exchanges that offer BTC, this bitcoin-only service offers a more robust experience in regards to BTC and the purchase of it.   Swan: While Swan allows you to buy BTC outright or via recurring buy (DCA), it has some additional interesting features and offerings as well. Their learn section allows you to further educate yourself on various aspects of bitcoin and perspectives on it, and they even offer a Bitcoin IRA (either Traditional or Roth) for those interested in such a service. The caveat to the IRA is that you'll be entrusting them with your BTC instead of having full custody and responsibility of it yourself. Use my referral link and get $10 of BTC: https://www.swanbitcoin.com/MF_MOON     Cash-Back: The next category I'll be covering is cash-back options, be they via spending with a certain card or using apps/extensions to earn sats on your purchases. Because if you're going to spend money anyways, why not try to get some of that money back in sats for your stack?   Satsback: This browser extension works pretty similar to other cash-back extensions if you've ever tried them: if you're on a site which the extension offers cash-back on, a pop-up to activate it will appear. Make sure to have adblockers and (possibly) your VPN disabled before activating to ensure you get your reward (I suggest you do this for any similar extensions mentioned below as well). https://satsback.com/register/k524KP0olqLX19Ov   Fold Debit Card: Fold has several options that allow you to earn sats, one of which is the option to buy gift cards to popular retailers like Amazon, Google Play, Home Depot, Bass Pro Shop, AirBnB and more and earn sats back on the purchase. You can earn even more sats back by paying for these gift cards with their debit card, which needs to be pre-loaded to use, but using another card will still earn you sats, albeit at a lower rate. If you do have their debit card and opt for their premium service, Fold+, you can also earn 1.5% back on all purchases made with said card. Fold+ even offers you cash back on paying bills with the account and routing numbers they provide, though you need to hit certain spending thresholds in the prior month to be eligible for this feature. The app also offers a daily spin to earn small amounts of sats, with higher amounts including a whole Bitcoin locked behind the premium membership. Depending on your average spending and bills, this could be worth it though. https://use.foldapp.com/r/3RHW4FUJ   CoinMiles: CoinMiles is like SatsBack in the sense that it lets you earn cash-back in bitcoin via online retailers within their app (similar to Lolli below) with the added feature of cash-back in sats on the purchase of gift cards as well, similar to Fold. Using my referral code will earn us both 5000 sats. https://coinmiles.onelink.me/90Pp/96f2tati   Gemini Credit Card: Crypto exchange Gemini offers a credit card that offers some pretty nice rewards for using it, which has become my go-to method of spending at this point. Allowing you to choose from every crypto asset they offer for your cash-back rewards, you can earn in more than just Bitcoin with this card. The rewards rates are as follows: 4% back on gas at the pump and EV charging, 3% back on dining, 2% back on groceries, and 1% back on everything else. They also have "Merchant Reward Offers" in which they offer a higher rate in cash back on top of the default rate for the category the merchant falls under, I've gotten a total of 8% back at a local brewery using this as it automatically applies if you use the card at said locations. Rewards are issued and credited to your Gemini accounts instantly upon making said purchase. The one issue I take with the exchange is that without lightning integration, BTC withdrawal fees can get steep. As a result, I opt to earn in another asset with lower withdrawal fees and swap said asset for BTC via an external swapping service. If you choose to purchase assets directly via the exchange as well, using my referral link can earn you referral rewards that scale with how much crypto you purchase with them: https://www.gemini.com/share/wwm6w8a3e   Lolli: Boasting both an app and a browser extension, Lolli offers not only cash-back similar to SatsBack, but also card boosts, which reward you for paying with a linked credit or debit card in stores they offer. Simply activate the boost before paying with your linked card to earn cash-back in sats, or when shopping online, activate cash back via a pop-up from the browser extension or clicking the retailer within the app to be directed to their site. Similar to Fold, the app features a daily way to earn small amounts of sats. https://lolli.com/share/T2r2NYSr7A   Bitcoin Company Rewards: Another app that allows you to buy gift cards and earn sats back on the purchase, this one has the standout option of offering Visa gift cards within the US to earn a small amount of sats back on, among many other card offerings. Use my referral code to earn 1000 sats to start. Referral Code: O30WN3 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tbtc_app&pcampaignid=web_share     Social Media: These next two are, in my opinion, the future of social media, and you can earn on them too!   Stacker News: Reddit meets Hacker News on this site, which encourages quality content through the implementation of the lightning network and satoshis. You don't have to be signed up to browse and read content on here, but you should be, and you should use my referral link to do so! https://stacker.news/r/MF_MOON   Nostr: This one can be a little tougher to describe, but I'll do my best. Nostr is a social media platform that operates on an open-source protocol that supports of variety of applications or "clients" utilizing a unique public and private key pair. Connections can be maintained across clients, which are often made to emulate the more well-known social media services out there. It can be daunting to get into at first, and requires some involvement as there are no built-in algorithms (though devs are starting to provide ways to implement some for discoverability) but it boasts a great community. Users can "zap" each other sats for content they like, and it's integrated with a number of other services at this point including Fountain and Wavlake (see below). Feel free to follow me on there: https://njump.me/nprofile1qqsglhkx0ey8pdac9ne4w9m4tzglpv2tkl8tvuyc9dzgyrgj07lk42ccwtvy9     Music & Podcasts: Want to earn sats for offering up your ears while doing other things? With these apps, you can enjoy your favorite podcasts and discover new music to earn sats as you listen.   Wavlake: While this app allows you to listen to promoted songs to earn a few sats each day, it also offers you the ability to earn sats on your own music and podcasts that you upload to the service. If people listen to your content via the service and like it, they can send you sats, along with feedback and other comments. There is a flat fee of 10% of all earnings for creators, but it's another way to get your content some exposure and possible earn some sats along the way! https://wavlake.com/     Cloud Mining: The next section I'll be covering is a bit of a dicey topic as some consider it to be scam. While I agree that paying for cloud mining is absolutely a scam, the services I'll be mentioning here offer free options that offer low earnings but only require a daily check in that I do all at once. While I can't tell you how to spend your money, I HIGHLY suggest you avoid spending any money on higher mining rates and spend that money on BTC directly instead.   Bitcoin Mining (Crypto Miner): This one offers you 2 free "mining contracts": 1 that you can claim every 8 hours, and another that serves as a daily check-in reward for checking in consistently, as rewards increase the longer your check-in streak is. Claiming contracts involves simply tapping the corresponding claim button, so I usually claim the 8 hour contract 2 times a day and the daily one when I go to make the 2nd 8 hour claim. Your free earning rate can be increased by watching ads for a temporary boost if you so desire as well. You can get an extra 10% in earnings using my referral link. https://cloudminecrypto.com/?invite_code=R0yMgkOEmEajYvD6 or download the app and add my invite code R0yMgkOEmEajYvD6 directly.   Bitcoin Mining: This one is pretty similar to the previous one, but the free 8 hour mining option can only be activated once per day even if it's finished, unlike the other one. Similar to the prior app, you can watch ads to boost mining rate if you so desire. A nice feature of this one is that it integrates popular lighting wallets including Speed, ZBD and Muun for more seamless withdrawals. My invitation code:5UHLF Appstore: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6503180820 Google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bitcoin.minning.com   Ember: While this started off as a regular mining app on which you check in once a day, they've changed their model up a bit recently: you now earn "bonus sats" which must be gambled in games, and the sats earned from said games are then withdrawable. Essentially, you have to convert your earnings via a gambling game of some sort to make them eligible for withdrawal, with the risk of losing them along the way. However, this one earns the most in this category by far, especially if you have a network of friends to mine with as this affords you increased earning rates. Referral Code: MNGCC33WRON https://emberfund.onelink.me/ljTI/l4g18zii?mining_referrer_id=MNGCC33WRON   Games: Here we have games that offer BTC as rewards for paying in small amounts. While they won't earn you a ton, they're nice little time-killers to earn you sats on the side.   ZBD: While technically a lightning wallet, the following app are powered by ZBD wallet, so you'll want to install this to claim your earnings from them. ZBD offers a variety of ways to earn should you choose to dabble in them, from completing surveys to watching videos to trying out games that allow you to earn from play time. The options I personally opt for are their daily poll and playing the next game listed below, as it allows you to earn without a "time-gated" mechanic: if you build up your game to a certain point and will allow you to earn more rapidly than any others I've tried. But see what games they offer and if you find them fun, go for it! Referral Code: PEXE52 https://zbd.link/hcHi/invite?af_sub1=PEXE52   Bitcoin Miner: Being an idle game, this one has a slow start but with a little dedication, can become one of the quickest and most consistent earners in this category. The daily withdrawal limit is unfortunately 330 sats, but when you're maxed out in the current state of the game, you can earn this within 3.5 resets, each of which takes me under minutes to max out with the right strategy and which can be done once every 30 minutes. A one-time purchase of $11.99 will remove all ads, which in my opinion is worth it as you can earn $10/mo in BTC with this game. Using my referral code will net you some of the premium in-game currency to get you started off nicely. Referral Code: 8H44HB Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fumbgames.bitcoinminor&pcampaignid=web_share Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bitcoin-miner-idle-tycoon/id1413770650   THNDR Games: THNDR is a developer that offers a few different games you can play to earn tickets in timed drawings to earn sats, and with your tickets across their games pooling up in a single grand total for the prize drawing when the time comes. I personally find their game "Bitcoin Bay" (a bubble popping game) to be the one that strikes the best balance of fun and earning potential, so its the only one I keep on my phone (I don't want to be playing games on my phone much in my day as it is) but it's really a matter of personal preference which game of theirs you want to play. A nice feature here is that they integrate with lightning wallets including ZBD, Speed, and Strike among others. https://bitcoinbay.thndr.games/r/tdhP   Bling: Bling is a developer that makes a number of "match" games a la Candy Crush that allow you to earn in BTC and some of which offer earnings in other crytpo assets as well. I personally play their game "Sweet Bitcoin" as I find it to be the most visually appealing, but they all appear to earn at the same rate in my experience. The on caveat to these games is that it has an "energy" system similar to Candy Crush which allows you to play a limited number of games as a time-gating mechanism until you "recharge" plays. For this reason, if this is your preferred type of game, you may want to download more than one of their offerings to be able to earn more in less time. Their games offer withdrawals that integrate CoinBase, Lightning options ZBD and Strike, and PayPal (but only in USD for this option). https://bln.gg/1NC-CQX-JDK   Earn While You Browse: This last one is an extension on your browser that allows you to earn sats as you browse the web. Slice: This browser extension adds small ads to sies you visit as you browse, paying you for the respective views. They also offer the option to change your new tab page & default browser for additional earnings, as well as a desktop app to display ads in the bottom right of your screen for even more opportunities to earn. The only downside to this is that your VPN must be turned off, and earnings are made in "slices" which must then be converted to sats. https://addslice.com/?crew=FjVuNqgg     And there you have it folks, every single method I use to accumulate sats/BTC all in one quick read for your convenience. Given that I've recently also joined the iOS eco-system, I intend to explore that side of earning apps as well, so let me know if any of you want me to share what I find after I spend some time with it, or if you recommend any apps I should check out. I also have methods of earning other coins in passive or semi-passive ways that I then convert into BTC and am happy to share if interest is expressed, or even ways I earn USD in such ways. Feel free to follow me on Nostr (link mentioned above) and to share the ways you earn sats on the side that I may have missed. Stay humble and keep stacking!

The recent $1.4 billion Extended Fund Facility (EFF) agreement between the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and El Salvador marks a significant turning point in the nation's economic and monetary policy. The IMF’s $1.4 billion “lifeline” is a sly Trojan horse, gutting El Salvador’s sovereignty and kneecapping its 2021 Bitcoin law— which represented a bold step toward monetary freedom and economic self-determination— all to prop up the same economic mess it pretends to fix. Brilliant, right? **The IMF’s Colonialist Agenda: A Historical Precedent** In 2021, El Salvador made history by adopting Bitcoin as legal tender, positioning itself at the forefront of financial innovation and offering its citizens an alternative to the U.S. dollar. This move was a bold step toward monetary independence and as a pathway toward individual financial sovereignty by reducing remittance costs for Salvadorans and bypassing the predatory international banking system. By making Bitcoin legal tender, El Salvador was taking steps to free itself from financial colonialism. The IMF’s response to El Salvador’s Bitcoin law was predictably hostile from day one. The institution repeatedly warned of the “risks” associated with Bitcoin, framing it as a threat to financial stability rather than a tool for economic empowerment. Hypocrisy drips from every word—the IMF’s own debt traps and inflationary schemes have fueled the chaos it now “rescues” El Salvador from. The Bretton Woods institution has long been the enforcer of the global financial elite, ensuring that nations remain shackled to the U.S. dollar-dominated system. Through predatory loans and stringent conditions, the IMF perpetuates economic subjugation. Now, facing pressure from these same institutions, El Salvador finds itself caught in the classic IMF trap: accepting loans with strings attached that further cement dependency. This aid package isn't a solution to El Salvador's problems; it's leverage to force compliance with the global banking cartel's agenda. Under the IMF agreement, El Salvador has been compelled to amend its Bitcoin law, revoking Bitcoin's status as legal tender and making its acceptance by businesses voluntary. Additionally, tax obligations must now be settled exclusively in U.S. dollars. This gut-wrenching retreat from its bold Bitcoin rebellion represents a diabolical masterpiece of oppression—stripping citizens of financial freedom and forcing them to forever bow before the fiat gods. **Why the IMF Must Destroy Bitcoin’s Medium of Exchange Use Case ** To understand why the IMF is so determined to undermine Bitcoin’s role as a medium of exchange in El Salvador, it’s important to revisit the fundamental nature of money. The widely cited “three functions” of money—medium of exchange, store of value, and unit of account—are often misunderstood. These are not rigid definitions, but empirical observations of how money functions in practice. Money is, first and foremost, the generally accepted medium of exchange. The other functions tend to follow, but they are not exclusive to money. For example, gold can serve as a store of value but is no longer a commonly accepted medium of exchange, and other commodities can also act as units of account, but neither is money unless it is widely accepted as a medium of exchange. Bitcoin’s rise as a store of value (akin to “digital gold”) is not as threatening to the fiat system as its potential to function as a widely accepted medium of exchange. A strong store of value can exist within a system that is still dominated by fiat currencies. If Bitcoin were to become a dominant medium of exchange, it would directly challenge the monopoly of central banks and the control that institutions like the IMF exert over global financial systems. That is why the IMF’s primary goal in El Salvador is not necessarily to stop Bitcoin’s adoption altogether but rather to strip Bitcoin of its medium of exchange function, thus effectively relegating Bitcoin to a speculative asset or store of value. Furthermore, this Bitcoin experiment was the first real-world test of Bitcoin as a medium of exchange at the nation-state level. If it had succeeded, other countries—especially those in the Global South struggling with inflation, currency devaluation, and IMF-imposed austerity—might have followed suit. The IMF couldn't afford to let that happen. By neutralizing Bitcoin's role as money, it ensures that alternative financial systems do not gain traction outside the fiat-based global order. In other words, as long as Bitcoin can't be used freely as a medium of exchange, it cannot fulfill its role as money, and the fiat gods' grip on the global monetary system remains unchallenged—at least for now. **The $1.4 Billion Faustian Bargain** El Salvador’s decision to seek IMF funding is a reflection of the immense pressure it faces from global financial markets and institutions. The country’s high debt levels and weak external buffers are, in large part, a consequence of its integration into a global financial system that prioritizes short-term capital flows over long-term economic stability. By accepting the IMF’s terms, El Salvador has effectively traded its sovereignty for temporary financial relief. What is even more surprising is that El Salvador had an alternative to this Faustian bargain: the issuance of Bitcoin bonds. While initially proposed as a way to finance Bitcoin City and geothermal Bitcoin mining infrastructure, the volcano bonds the country could have raised the $1.4 billion needed without sacrificing its monetary sovereignty. This represents a missed opportunity for El Salvador to bolster its financial independence, attract global capital, and solidify its position as a pioneer in the adoption of decentralized money. Instead of falling back into the IMF’s debt trap—complete with austerity measures, restrictions on Bitcoin use, and financial surveillance—El Salvador could have embraced a Bitcoin-native financial strategy that aligned with its long-term vision of economic independence. So why didn't El Salvador go through with the Bitcoin bond issuance? I don't know, but if I were to speculate, I would say the answer likely lies in political and institutional inertia, coupled with external pressures from the IMF and its allied institutions, or worse. If El Salvador had raised capital through Bitcoin bonds, it would have sent shockwaves through the financial world, proving that a nation-state could operate independently of the IMF. **The Long-Term Consequences for El Salvador** While the IMF’s program may provide short-term relief, its long-term consequences are likely to be detrimental to the Salvadoran people. The emphasis on fiscal consolidation and debt reduction will inevitably lead to cuts in public spending, particularly in areas such as social services and infrastructure. These measures will disproportionately affect the most vulnerable segments of society, exacerbating inequality and undermining the country’s social fabric. Moreover, the IMF’s focus on “strengthening governance and transparency” is a thinly veiled attempt to impose external control over El Salvador’s domestic policies. The requirement to enhance Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) frameworks, while ostensibly aimed at combating illicit activities, will likely be used to surveil and restrict the financial activities of ordinary citizens. This represents a gross violation of individual rights and a further erosion of economic freedom. **Conclusion** The IMF's $1.4 billion arrangement with El Salvador represents not economic salvation but a calculated reassertion of control. By forcing El Salvador to retreat from its Bitcoin initiative, the IMF is protecting the very system that has kept developing nations financially subjugated for decades. For Salvadorans, this means their bold experiment in monetary sovereignty has been curtailed, not by market forces or technological limitations, but by the deliberate intervention of the guardians of the old financial order. Those who believe in true financial freedom must recognize this for what it is: not assistance, but suppression; not aid, but control. The battle for monetary sovereignty continues, and despite this setback, Bitcoin's promise of financial liberation remains as vital as ever—not just for El Salvador, but for all those seeking escape from the oppressive machinery of central banking

### Wander — *19:27* It’s been a long, rough day.<br /> The fresh air feels good,<br /> but my mind is still trapped,<br /> stuck in that office,<br /> its fluorescent lighting,<br /> archaic and noisy,<br /> still buzzes behind my eyes.<br /> Closing that sale was grueling—<br /> the customer’s incessant demands—<br /> they still press against my skull.<br /> My patience feels razor-thin,<br /> the weight of the day settling on my shoulders. On my way to the apartment,<br /> I catch a glimpse of the setting sun.<br /> Its warm hues contrast my somber demeanor.<br /> I check my phone again,<br /> scrolling through my messages.<br /> ...<br /> Nothing new…<br /> I haven’t heard from her in hours—<br /> only left on “read.” I let out a sigh.<br /> My body feels heavy.<br /> This day has just dragged on forever. Walking up to the apartment door,<br /> I fumble a bit with my keys,<br /> the metal clinks,<br /> I struggle to find the right one.<br /> Upon entering the dimly lit apartment,<br /> I see her sitting on the sofa,<br /> dressed as if she’s getting ready to leave. Ugh, I don’t feel like going anywhere tonight… She looks up from her phone,<br /> our eyes locking.<br /> “You didn’t let Me know you were on your way,” her tone sharp. A hint of disappointment in her eyes—<br /> subtle, but pointed.<br /> A silent judgment.<br /> A reminder of my failure—<br /> of a broken word of honor. But my pride,<br /> like a protective big brother,<br /> overshadows the regret gnawing at me,<br /> feeding my mind with justifications. She didn’t respond earlier—<br /> to my messages.<br /> Not a single word.<br /> And now, all of a sudden,<br /> communication matters?<br /> My eyebrows furrow.<br /> My hands clench. “I told you I’d be late today, didn’t I?” I finally answer,<br /> trying to keep my voice steady.<br /> Her nonchalant expression shifts,<br /> becoming more annoyed. “And that has nothing to do with your promise to let Me know when you’re leaving,”<br /> she fires back,<br /> arms folded across her chest. Her voice cuts through the air.<br /> “Now go get cleaned up. I’m hungry and we have a little bit of shopping to do.” I subtly bite at my lip.<br /> A dull pain.<br /> A distraction.<br /> Anything to manage the tension. Taking a seat on the sunken foyer’s edge,<br /> I slowly remove my shoes,<br /> lingering in defiance. Today has been so stressful…<br /> Doesn’t she see that I’m exhausted?<br /> Maybe I don’t want to go back out.<br /> Does she even consider how I feel?<br /> Maybe she’d know if she just asked. “Hey! Are you listening?” She snaps,<br /> impatience saturating her tone.<br /> “What’s wrong?” I remain seated,<br /> and turn my head toward her,<br /> meeting her gaze—<br /> a fierce expression now on her face. A heavy sigh escapes me.<br /> Honestly, I don’t want to tell her no.<br /> But the thought of getting back out…<br /> It feels unbearable. “I’m just so tired,” I finally admitted,<br /> shoulders slumping. She seems unconvinced. “There’s more to it than that,” she posits,<br /> her eyes piercing through my defenses.<br /> “What is it? Tell me what’s going on.” I turn my head away.<br /> Shame tightens around me,<br /> suffocating, silencing.<br /> From the hurt I feel—<br /> over some ignored messages.<br /> Just a few simple messages…<br /> It seems juvenile.<br /> But it’s amplified by her disregard for my situation.<br /> It stings, and I can’t find the words to express it.<br /> Nor would I if I could. … At some point, she moved.<br /> I didn’t hear her.<br /> I didn’t see her.<br /> But I feel her now—<br /> towering over me.<br /> Close.<br /> Her presence,<br /> it’s tangible,<br /> like a weight bearing down on me. Looking up at her,<br /> our angry expressions collide,<br /> the air thickens with unspoken tension.<br /> I notice my heart beating faster—<br /> Not only from the conflict,<br /> but from her aura… There’s a shift in her energy.<br /> A quiet intensity brewing beyond her expression.<br /> Have I pushed her too far with my silence..? --- ### Veil — *19:38* With a swift motion,<br /> she lunges forward,<br /> pushing me to my back.<br /> Her weight settles on my stomach,<br /> pinning me to the floor. My breath catches.<br /> Her scent—something floral..?<br /> Jasmine…<br /> It melds with her natural aroma,<br /> igniting my senses. The softness of her skin,<br /> the pressure of her body above me;<br /> they contrast sharply,<br /> a blend of elegance and power. "W-what are you doing!?" I exclaim, the surprise evident in my voice. Her response is immediate.<br /> "I won't tolerate you moping or acting out tonight, boy. Now tell Me what's wrong," she demands,<br /> her voice sharp as a knife. I'm stunned.<br /> A fire burns in my chest—<br /> is it anger?<br /> Or something else?<br /> Embarrassment settles in,<br /> uninvited, heating my face,<br /> her eyes piercing into me. "I already told you, I-I'm just tired. There's no need for this!" I plead,<br /> muscles tensing as I try to push her off. "Stop pushing!" she commands. I resist,<br /> frustration spilling over.<br /> "Get off!" Attempting to restrain me,<br /> she grabs my wrists.<br /> But I'm stronger,<br /> easily breaking her grip.<br /> I interlock our hands,<br /> pushing back,<br /> trying to lift her. "I said stop!" she asserts,<br /> her voice firm,<br /> unyielding. I continue to push,<br /> arms fully extended. But she suddenly shifts.<br /> Her weight crashes forward,<br /> pinning my arms above my head.<br /> I can’t push from this angle. As she holds me down,<br /> something mingles with the fluster—<br /> an unexpected exhilaration... Her body hovers above mine,<br /> our faces inches apart.<br /> I'm trapped,<br /> her hair falling around us like a curtain.<br /> A predaceous look glimmers in her eyes—<br /> she leans in closer,<br /> jawline tightening,<br /> eyes slowly narrowing,<br /> asserting her dominance.<br /> I can't resist inhaling Her scent,<br /> it’s so distracting—<br /> intoxicating. With every labored breath,<br /> the warmth of Her body presses down on me.<br /> Now sitting on my chest,<br /> Her weight feels heavier,<br /> oddly comforting. Her gaze pursues me.<br /> I look away,<br /> desperate to hide. My heart is racing.<br /> It's overwhelming—<br /> Her scent, <br /> Her pressure,<br /> the gleam in Her eyes.<br /> I struggle to focus. Somehow, without me noticing,<br /> our hands are no longer intertwined…<br /> Instead, She holds my wrists—<br /> tightly against the ground. Lost between defiance and surrender,<br /> my body is betraying me,<br /> not from fear,<br /> but from curiosity.<br /> Or is it a mixture? A shiver travels down my spine,<br /> my body relaxes,<br /> how did we get here..? The desire to resist is fading,<br /> yielding to the magnetic pull of Her presence—<br /> losing myself in Her orbit. Aware of my waning resistance,<br /> a smug grin flashes across Her lips—<br /> so captivating.<br /> I’m melting. "Good boy." She whispers into my ear. Her words surround me like a warm embrace,<br /> and Her smile—<br /> the most precious sight in the world—<br /> puts butterflies in my stomach,<br /> a lightness in my head.<br /> The frustration of the prior moment,<br /> seems somehow… <br /> distant. Still holding my wrists,<br /> She looks down at me,<br /> taking in the moment—<br /> savoring it. "Who is your Queen?" She finally asks,<br /> Her voice gentle and sweet. I feel a storm within,<br /> emotions crashing like a tsunami.<br /> Pulling me back to the present—<br /> regret, devotion, shame—<br /> all colliding together.<br /> How She hurt me.<br /> How I failed Her.<br /> I try to look away.<br /> A hint of defiance persisting... "Answer me." She demands,<br /> Her soft tone hardening.<br /> "Who is your Queen?" I pause,<br /> Her gaze weighing more than Her body.<br /> My heart pounds,<br /> and for a moment,<br /> I'm lost in the depths of Her eyes,<br /> searching for an escape—<br /> an escape that isn’t there... The silence stretches,<br /> heavy and expectant.<br /> My throat tightens,<br /> heart pounding—<br /> betraying me..?<br /> Or leading the way? With a resigned breath,<br /> I whisper, "You are..." She immediately follows up,<br /> "And who do you obey?"<br /> Her tone still harsh. My eyes plead to Her fierce gaze,<br /> swallowed in shame.<br /> Begging to avoid the obvious answer,<br /> because of my guilt—<br /> because of my broken promise.<br /> but Her stare is unrelenting,<br /> and I divert my eyes once more. "Look at me," She commands sharply,<br /> "Who do you obey?" My eyes instinctively comply,<br /> Her grin now replaced by a stern expression. With no other option,<br /> I mutter my surrender, "...You."<br /> The word slips out,<br /> a quiet truth that echoes in between us,<br /> heavy with contrition,<br /> but liberating. "Now answer properly," She demands,<br /> "Who do you obey?" "I obey You, my Queen."<br /> The words spill effortlessly from my lips,<br /> weightless and freeing. "That's right." She proudly replies. She releases my wrists and sits up,<br /> a triumphant smile gracing Her lips.<br /> Those enchanting lips…<br /> That beautiful smile… With my arms free,<br /> I feel a mix of relief and lingering tension,<br /> my heart still racing from the struggle. A whirlwind of emotions continue to swell—<br /> shame, regret, adoration—<br /> neglect and dismissal—<br /> longing—<br /> disappointment… And the sight of Her beauty aches—<br /> yet, despite my surrender,<br /> something in Her eyes tells me… She’s just getting started. --- ### Stricken — *19:46* The sun has set.<br /> Its remaining beams peering through the glass door,<br /> filling the room with an orange hue. Her silhouette is framed by the fading light—<br /> imposing, inescapable.<br /> She looms over me,<br /> Her shadow stretching,<br /> covering,<br /> consuming. I lie underneath Her—<br /> underneath Her shadow—<br /> between breath and reverence,<br /> desperately searching,<br /> looking for the right words,<br /> but only stare. I feel trapped.<br /> Not by Her,<br /> but by my own self—<br /> the walls I put up.<br /> Unable to express my regret.<br /> For how I failed Her.<br /> For my own hurt feelings… When suddenly,<br /> and surprisingly,<br /> She slaps me.<br /> Her palm releases a sharp crack,<br /> a sound that echoes in the stillness.<br /> The impact burns on my left cheek,<br /> forcing me to wince,<br /> the world tilts for a heartbeat,<br /> returning me to the moment. Slightly disoriented,<br /> my hands cover my face,<br /> instinctively guarding. "Put your hands down." She orders,<br /> Her voice firm.<br /> I hesitate—<br /> caught between instinct and obedience.<br /> Tension coils in my chest. She takes my hand,<br /> tucks it to my side,<br /> and pins it with Her thigh. I don't resist. She does the same with my other hand,<br /> leaving me unguarded—<br /> vulnerable. Her grip is tight—<br /> constraining.<br /> My senses feel heightened.<br /> The warmth of Her skin—<br /> so smooth against my own—<br /> presses against me.<br /> Deceptively soothing.<br /> A paradox of wrath and comfort,<br /> leading me deeper into the moment. I watch Her draw back Her hand,<br /> preparing another slap.<br /> a stoic look etched across Her face.<br /> My breath catches,<br /> the air is thick with unspoken words.<br /> Yet, strangely,<br /> my heartbeat steadies,<br /> my body relaxes,<br /> ready to absorb Her frustrations. Her hand lands forcefully,<br /> slamming into my left cheek once again,<br /> the sting tight and harsh.<br /> I wince again,<br /> losing focus,<br /> struggling to meet Her gaze. "Apologize to me." She commands harshly. Before I can orient myself,<br /> before I can respond,<br /> She slaps me again.<br /> And again.<br /> And again.<br /> And again.<br /> Each strike lands like a thunderbolt—<br /> a wrecking ball to the walls I’ve built. A fiery pulse ignites my face,<br /> blending with a deviant thrill—<br /> something coursing through me,<br /> blurring agony and bliss.<br /> My eyes form tears.<br /> I fight desperately to hold them back. "I said apologize!" She hisses,<br /> Her tone as sharp as Her slaps.<br /> I look up at Her,<br /> trying to focus,<br /> and catch Her expression—<br /> impassive, demanding,<br /> yet with a soft glimmer in Her eyes—<br /> so gorgeous... A warmth radiates from Her,<br /> it blends with the heat from my cheek,<br /> amplifying Her pull,<br /> leaving me breathless,<br /> utterly subject to Her will. "I… I'm sorry…" I whimper,<br /> the words barely escaping my lips,<br /> laced with a mixture of shame and exhilaration. "For what?" She asks,<br /> Her lips curl,<br /> a blend of annoyance and...<br /> something, something—<br /> primal. I try to take another deep breath,<br /> it's difficult with Her weight pressing down.<br /> My pride aches as much as my face.<br /> I barely maintain composure,<br /> my eyes unable to escape Her gaze. She strikes again,<br /> forcefully,<br /> without warning.<br /> My head snaps to the side,<br /> leaving an imprint on my soul itself.<br /> The barriers I’ve placed—<br /> their remnants—<br /> are completely shattered,<br /> freeing the truth. "For disobeying You!" I nearly cry.<br /> The admission tastes bittersweet on my tongue.<br /> It feels like a release,<br /> the confession washing over me,<br /> leaving me breathless and exposed. She lets out an amused laugh.<br /> The smile She was fighting back breaks through,<br /> a satisfied grin that lights up Her face.<br /> My heart to skips a beat. But She's not finished yet. --- ### Purge — *19:52* "And how exactly did you disobey me?" She asks,<br /> already knowing the answer. She's going to make me own it…<br /> The buzzing on my cheek—<br /> a subtle reminder to comply. "For not letting You know when I left." I meekly respond. "And..?" She questions,<br /> not satisfied with the previous answer. "And for not getting ready when you asked…" I amend,<br /> my voice barely above a whisper. "And..?" She continues,<br /> Her tone becoming impatient. But I'm at a loss—<br /> unsure.<br /> What is She seeking?<br /> My mind races,<br /> desperately searching,<br /> looking for the right words. … But none come.<br /> Panic sets in,<br /> gnawing, deep—<br /> am I failing Her again?<br /> Was I being too much?<br /> Too needy?<br /> I can’t explain this ache in my chest… She looks down at me,<br /> Her expression softening. "For not telling me what's bothering you." She says,<br /> guiding me to the answer. "I'm your Queen, and I deserve for you to be honest with Me about everything—“ She continues,<br /> Her voice carrying a tenderness,<br /> cutting through the tension. “you should feel safe enough to tell Me anything…" My body is still,<br /> yet it feels as if it’s trembling fiercely.<br /> I can only stare. “You don’t have to hide anymore...”<br /> She continues,<br /> “You’re safe now…” My heart feels cracked open.<br /> Lying beneath Her,<br /> restrained and exposed—<br /> and now with Her words… Her voice hangs in the air,<br /> slicing through the chaos.<br /> She's reached into my heart,<br /> through the walls and the barriers,<br /> amidst the insecurities and doubts—<br /> the fear and pain—<br /> touching the essence that is truly me,<br /> with nothing standing in Her way. I look up at Her angelic face,<br /> into Her divine eyes,<br /> and with no more hesitation,<br /> I express what seemed impossible before. "I felt… hurt, like You were ignoring me…" the confession falls out clumsily.<br /> “Like… like I wasn’t worth the attention…” my chest tightens more as I speak,<br /> each word breathing life into the hurt I tried to bury.<br /> "Even after such a hard day..." I see the look on Her face change,<br /> Her gentle expression slipping away,<br /> revealing a raw vulnerability.<br /> Silence fills the space between us. "And..." I continue,<br /> "And it’s stupid, I know… I’m sorry for being too much, I-I couldn’t help it…" my voice breaking,<br /> “I just… needed You, so much… and you didn’t even message me back… I felt invisible…”<br /> I take a moment to regain my composure. "Like, I know I was supposed to let You know that I was on my way, but... I... I was just so angry... I'm sorry… and it just seems so childish now…" I finish through tears.<br /> The last piece of me lain bare. Her hand slowly reaches down,<br /> caressing my cheek.<br /> Her fingers trace across my skin,<br /> gentle, light—<br /> a stark contrast from the slaps earlier.<br /> The tears linger,<br /> a reminder of all I’ve kept from Her.<br /> Her palm cups my cheek,<br /> softer than I’ve ever known,<br /> and I see in Her eyes,<br /> Her own tension,<br /> a glimmer of regret... “I…” Her voice trembles.<br /> She catches Herself,<br /> maintaining control. But there’s something else—<br /> an unease.<br /> "I didn’t realize… I should have known.” She continues.<br /> “You needed me and I wasn’t there for you, was I?" She looks down,<br /> Her gaze escapes my eyes,<br /> and for a moment,<br /> I see the disappointment in them—<br /> the disappointment in Herself, too.<br /> Her divine presence alters,<br /> revealing a more human beauty… I nod,<br /> feeling the weight of my admission. Her eyes meet with mine again,<br /> shimmering with unshed tears.<br /> She simply stares,<br /> taking it in for a brief moment,<br /> the words settling between us,<br /> forming a bridge that connects our spirits. "I'm so sorry, My sweet boy." She says,<br /> trying to hold a steady demeanor.<br /> "I had no idea you needed Me so much today… I was interrupted after reading your message and never followed up. Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you… that I let you down… you’re not… you’re not ‘too much.’" With both arms,<br /> She reaches around my head,<br /> and gives me a powerful embrace.<br /> The hug is so tight that I can barely breathe.<br /> She begins saying something else,<br /> but it sounds muffled,<br /> I can't make it out. And yet, it doesn't matter.<br /> Her words—<br /> Her acknowledgment...<br /> the tension inside me begins to unravel. And, despite Her increasing pressure on top of me,<br /> it’s as if the weight of the world has been lifted from my chest,<br /> replaced by a serene joy that blossoms within—<br /> from knowing that She cares,<br /> that She was able to reach out and guide me to the honesty of my confession,<br /> creating a space where we could see each other authentically.<br /> Her arms tighten around me,<br /> I melt into Her embrace.<br /> My heart pounds.<br /> But not frantically—<br /> it’s steady now,<br /> slow, calming,<br /> like a gentle wave.<br /> Her breath against my neck,<br /> warm and soothing,<br /> Her embrace,<br /> feels like a sanctuary,<br /> where my heart can rest and heal. Everything fades,<br /> only the sound of Her heartbeat,<br /> it intertwines with mine,<br /> forming a profound connection.<br /> I dare not move,<br /> I dare not disturb this moment,<br /> not for air,<br /> not for life itself—<br /> this closeness is all I crave,<br /> and I would die for it. … Then,<br /> just like that,<br /> the moment fades.<br /> Her arms loosen,<br /> the weight of Her touch lifts,<br /> leaving an emptiness. My body feels light,<br /> but my heart is heavy—<br /> full. I need a moment,<br /> in this space,<br /> in the silence,<br /> to gather the pieces of myself—<br /> the pieces She’s helped reveal. --- ### Bound — *20:04* She releases Her grip on me,<br /> returning Herself to a seated position.<br /> I inhale sharply,<br /> much-needed air filling my lungs.<br /> She lets out an adorable chuckle at the sight. My vision clears,<br /> drawn to Her beautiful smile. "So, will you forgive Me, sweet boy?" She asks, wiping a few tears from Her own eyes. "Of course, my Queen." I respond almost reflexively.<br /> "Will You forgive me?" She leans down,<br /> Her lips pressing lightly on my forehead.<br /> "I already have, My sweet boy," She smiles. The warmth of Her kiss lingers,<br /> sending a shiver down my spine. She stands up,<br /> relieving the pressure on my chest.<br /> My lungs seize the opportunity,<br /> pulling in air.<br /> But the relief is fleeting— Her foot crashes down,<br /> pressing me back into the ground.<br /> Her weight returns—<br /> focused,<br /> steady,<br /> absolute.<br /> I’m breathless again—<br /> by the force She exerts,<br /> and the sight of Her over me. She stands poised,<br /> effortless.<br /> A Queen assessing Her property.<br /> The look in Her eyes sharpens again,<br /> though this time,<br /> amusement dances behind them. She shifts Her weight slightly,<br /> a small, deliberate adjustment.<br /> The pressure deepens,<br /> spreading through my chest—<br /> slow, rolling,<br /> a silent warning. "And don't you ever give me a reason to do this to you again, do you understand me, boy?" She asks,<br /> the weight increasing,<br /> firm and steady.<br /> My body strains beneath Her foot,<br /> not quite pain,<br /> something heavy,<br /> something consuming,<br /> part of me craving more… "Yes, my Queen." the words escape,<br /> slipping through shallow breaths.<br /> I wince,<br /> but the feeling is not unwelcome—<br /> it feels grounding,<br /> reassuring. She presses a little more.<br /> A test..?<br /> I instinctively tense,<br /> but don’t resist.<br /> Our clothing dulls the sensation,<br /> but amplifies something deeper—<br /> the certainty of Her control,<br /> the reality of Her dominance. "I need you to be open and honest with your feelings, got it?" She continues,<br /> Her tone firm,<br /> and yet warm,<br /> welcoming. "Of course, my Queen." I vow instantly,<br /> the words feeling like both a promise and a plea. "Good boy." She adds with a satisfied grin spreading across Her face,<br /> lighting up Her features.<br /> "Now, get yourself cleaned up, I'm hungry and we have some shopping to do." She lingers for a moment.<br /> Then with a slow, deliberate motion,<br /> She finally lifts Her foot from my chest.<br /> The absence is sudden.<br /> The liberation…<br /> unnatural.<br /> Wrong. My chest rises sharply,<br /> filling with air once again,<br /> the breath She has granted me. Above me,<br /> She smiles,<br /> admiring Her handiwork.<br /> There’s a sense of satisfaction in Her expression,<br /> a silent acknowledgment of our shared moment. "Yes, my Queen. Thank You, my Queen." I say to Her with a smile,<br /> my heart swelling with gratitude. But there’s something else…<br /> I hesitate.<br /> The words are there,<br /> on the tip of my tongue.<br /> Will She welcome them..?<br /> Acknowledge them..?< She watches me closely,<br /> aware,<br /> waiting,<br /> Her eyes softening,<br /> enough to make my heart stutter.<br /> But I can’t hold them in any longer— … "…I love You," I add,<br /> the words spilling out of me.

The newly installed FBI Director Kash Patel was sworn in on a Bhagavad Gita (Hindu holy book) NOT a Christian Bible! Guys, its happening! Christian Nationalism is here. We predicted that Trump would introduce a government ruled by Christians for Christians persecuting people of other faiths. Its just a matter of weeks until we are in full blown Handmaids Tale!

I've been very hopeful that the proposal to replace the IRS, and all of the taxes it collects, with a combination of sales taxes and tariffs, will go through, but just this morning some of the secondary effects of such a change occurred to me. Now, I'm even more hopeful that this happens. # The Obvious Benefits My initial reasons for excitement were the obvious ones: consumption based taxes have better incentives than production based taxes (I know tax incidence muddies the waters, but this is still true) and consumption taxes are more avoidable than the slew of individual and corporate taxes currently in place. # Financial Privacy One second order benefit occurred to me immediately: Without taxes on income/payroll/inheritance/capital gains/etc. the state loses most of its rational for its rampant invasions of our financial privacy. Since most businesses are already subjected to the invasion of their financial privacy (through state and local sales taxes), this is a huge net positive. Not only is this better for its own sake, but all of the monitoring that goes into current financial surveillance is costly. Getting all of those transactions costs out of our financial system will be a huge positive. # No More Benefits Tied to Employment This is what hit me this morning. The reason Americans get so many benefits through their employers is because they're tax exempted. Having our healthcare tied to our employer, and largely decided by them, is a huge distortion in the health care market and it radically reduces competition. Without preferential tax treatment, we would just be paid out that money in our salaries and make our own health care choices. As such, expect the current medical-industrial complex to fight this tax reform tooth and nail. The other element of this that I realized is that retirement accounts will lose the tax penalty, come withdrawal time (obviously depending on which type you have). That'll be a huge boon for many of us, and make up for the impending collapse of Social Security. # What Else? I haven't spent much more time thinking through other implications. What other effects will there be if the current tax regime is replaced with sales taxes and tariffs. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/899802

# Loops have been the overarching theme in the last two months of my work. You see, my book project is incredibly exciting, and whenever I have a large project like this—_a beast_—I have a tendency to become somewhat obsessive, (subconsciously) dedicating every waking hour to feeding it. I forced myself to step away from it for a bit, working on other projects while letting the book slumber in the back of my head. When I picked the project back up again, I could feel the different pieces it consists of had clicked into place. It always surprises me to see how taking time _away from a project_ can contribute to seeing things more clearly _on the project_. ## A new website for NoGood During this brief hiatus I found myself digging deeper into the indie & open web. I read articles by people who have been active proponents of an open web—as opposed to the walled gardens we’ve gotten accustomed to tracking us whichever way we surf—and I discovered the concept of tending to a ‘digital garden’. I saw a side of the web I was less exposed to before that aligned perfectly with my values. As a result, I overhauled the NoGood website. This new version of the website is simple, effective, and static: there is no tracking whatsoever, and it makes no requests to external resources. It only uses system fonts, serves optimised images, and because of that it’s blazing fast. I built it using _11ty_, and you can read more about it [in last month’s blogpost](https://nogood.studio/posts/update/new-website/). Within weeks, NoGood got featured on [DeadSimpleSites](http://deadsimplesites.com), a gallery full of similar websites, which is a welcome bit of recognition.  ## Rewarding dialogues The book’s sections ([_Work_, _Process_, _Context_, _Items_](https://nogood.studio/posts/book/announcement)) are set. The _Context_ section is meant to—well, do what it says on the tin: paint a picture of the context in which my own work was created and construct conversations between my work and that which came before it. To do so, I’ll carve out space for articles—published under the _Creative Commons_ or share-alike license—that inspired me along the way. I’ll illustrate each article myself, in black and white. I’ve asked a few people for their permission to publish their articles and have received positive responses from [Cory Doctorow](https://craphound.com/), Jack Dorsey, [Lyn Alden](https://www.lynalden.com/) and [DerGigi](https://dergigi.com/), for which I’m incredibly grateful. Just the ability to have dialogues with these people whose work I’ve admired is a rewarding outcome of me pursuing this project, feeding back into my desire to create a great publication. In order to do right by the _Creative Commons_ license, I’ll make the _Context_ section available on the NoGood website, too. I may even turn it into a printable zine—more on that later. ## Editing and designing the NoGood book I primarily work on the book from my studio space, which I share with two other creatives, [Timo](http://timokuilder.com) and [Daniël](http://daniel.pizza). Daniël designs and builds open-source software for [Ghost](http://ghost.org), writes, and publishes a literary magazine called [_TRANSCRIPT_](http://transcriptmag.store). We share similar values, he knows a thing or two about the open web, and it made perfect sense for us to work together. I’ve hired him to act as an editor for the book, and he now edits my writing (in fact, he edited this update, too!). We’ve had some dialogues about the articles I’m including as well as others I could add, too, and we’ll continue our conversations throughout the design process. Commissioning him to take on this work has been a relief. It freed up precious headspace, and I’ve started designing the first spreads of the book. Some sections already are very clear, while others still need time to crystallise. Fortunately, clarity comes as a result of chipping away at the work ahead, so I keep at it with renewed energy—updates will now follow more regularly.   ## Crowdfunding & production I have a complete picture of the production costs of the book and I’ve ironed out the logistics. I know which printer will be printing it, and my budget estimates were correct. The current number of [pre-orders](https://geyser.fund/project/nogoodartbook) (53) covers roughly 70% of the production costs, which means I can safely produce the NoGood book—it’s going to print this summer! 200 copies will roll off the press, and I’m really looking forward to it. Thank you for reading. More soon, Thomas. --- #### Previous updates [The NoGood art book announcement](https://stacker.news/items/736947) [Update 01 – Humble beginnings](https://stacker.news/items/744898) [Update 02 – Throwback](https://stacker.news/items/762791) #### Pre-order a book The NoGood art book is available [as a pre-order on Geyser](https://geyser.fund/project/nogoodartbook). originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/899798

Every Sunday, my brother Alex and I would catch the scent of pie creeping from the oven as we chased Ronnie and Ellis around my grandma’s house. We were good at keeping traditions. Though we eventually outgrew the days of stampeding through Grandma’s living room, her house remained our gathering place. The four of us—Alex, Ronnie, Ellis, and I—would settle on the back porch, the aroma of freshly baked pie still wafting through the air. We’d trade stories about our first crushes, our first kisses, and our dreams for the future, laughing in the warmth of a home that felt eternal. Alex was the first to leave for college. He never really came back. Four years away, then a big-time job across the country. Ronnie and Ellis—the twins—left a few years later. They never truly returned, either. Not the same, at least. A cruel trick of biology had been lurking in the depths of their genes, lying in wait for the right moment to surface. In college, Ronnie was consumed by schizophrenia, while Ellis battled years of depression. They came back home, but they weren’t the same boys I had grown up with. The ones I had once sprinted through hallways with, laughing until our sides hurt, were lost to something none of us could chase down or outrun. By the time I graduated, the scent of pie had vanished forever. My grandmother’s grave was my last stop before I, too, left town. I never went back. People leave in different ways. Some move to another city or another country. Some lose themselves to illness, slipping through our fingers even as they sit beside us. Some find their final resting place. All dearly departed. What makes their departure so bittersweet is the time we once had with them—the memories we carry, the laughter that still echoes in the corners of our hearts. That’s life. That’s what makes it worth it.

In the dynamic and often unpredictable world of cryptocurrency, the opinions and predictions of financial pundits like Jim Cramer, the host of CNBC's "Mad Money," can significantly sway market sentiments and investor behavior. Cramer, known for his incisive and sometimes controversial market insights, has recently turned his attention to Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency. His latest comments suggest a bearish outlook on Bitcoin, which has sparked intense discussions and speculations within the crypto community. This development is particularly noteworthy given Cramer's influence and the weight his opinions often carry in financial circles. His views on Bitcoin are not just idle chatter; they have the potential to shape market trends and influence investment strategies. **Table of Contents** - Cramer's Changing Stance on Bitcoin - Historical Perspective - The "Reverse Cramer Effect" - Market Reactions and Speculations - Analyzing Past Trends - The Role of Bitcoin ETFs - Implications for Investors - Navigating Market Sentiments - The Future of Bitcoin - Conclusion - FAQs **Cramer's Changing Stance on Bitcoin** **Historical Perspective** Jim Cramer's relationship with Bitcoin has been a rollercoaster of changing opinions and stances. Initially skeptical, Cramer warmed up to Bitcoin, acknowledging its potential as an investment asset. However, his recent bearish comments mark a significant shift from his earlier views. This change is intriguing, as it comes at a time when Bitcoin has been showing signs of recovery and gaining mainstream acceptance. Cramer's influence in the financial world means that his opinions are closely monitored and can lead to tangible market reactions. His latest stance, suggesting that Bitcoin is "topping out," has therefore raised eyebrows and led to debates about the future direction of the cryptocurrency. **The "Reverse Cramer Effect"** The phenomenon known as the "reverse Cramer effect" has become a topic of interest among investors and market analysts. This effect, where the market tends to move in the opposite direction of Cramer's advice, has been observed on multiple occasions. For example, after Cramer advised investors to sell Bitcoin in April 2023, the cryptocurrency's price surged, defying his predictions. This pattern has led some investors to view Cramer's predictions as a contrarian indicator. The consistency of this effect raises questions about market psychology and the influence of prominent financial figures on investor behavior. It also underscores the complexity and unpredictability of the cryptocurrency market, where sentiment can often drive price movements more than fundamentals. **Market Reactions and Speculations** **Analyzing Past Trends** The market's reaction to Cramer's comments is not just a matter of idle speculation; it has real implications for investors and traders. The "reverse Cramer effect" has been noted not just in the case of Bitcoin but also in other financial markets. This phenomenon suggests a deeper, perhaps psychological, aspect of market behavior where investors might be inclined to react contrarily to prominent predictions. The recent bearish stance by Cramer on Bitcoin thus becomes a focal point for market watchers. If history is any guide, this could very well be an inadvertent signal for a bullish phase for Bitcoin. **The Role of Bitcoin ETFs** The potential approval of Bitcoin ETFs by the SEC is a significant development in the cryptocurrency world. These ETFs would provide a more accessible and regulated avenue for investing in Bitcoin, potentially attracting a new class of investors. The approval of these ETFs could be a game-changer for Bitcoin's price, as it would represent a major step towards mainstream acceptance and institutional investment. The timing of Cramer's comments in the context of these developments adds an interesting dimension to market speculations. If the SEC does approve Bitcoin ETFs, and the "reverse Cramer effect" holds true, we could witness a substantial bull run in Bitcoin's price. **Implications for Investors** **Navigating Market Sentiments** For investors, the "reverse Cramer effect" and the potential approval of Bitcoin ETFs present a complex scenario. While it's tempting to base investment decisions on the predictions of market experts, the unpredictable nature of cryptocurrencies requires a more nuanced approach. Investors need to consider a range of factors, including market trends, technological developments, regulatory changes, and broader economic indicators. The case of Jim Cramer's shifting stance on Bitcoin highlights the importance of not relying solely on expert opinions but also conducting independent research and analysis. **The Future of Bitcoin** The future of Bitcoin, as suggested by the recent developments and Cramer's comments, appears to be at a potential turning point. While the possibility of a bull market looms, it's important to remember the inherent volatility and risks associated with cryptocurrencies. The market's response to Cramer's comments, coupled with the potential regulatory advancements like Bitcoin ETFs, could indeed set the stage for significant price movements. However, investors should remain cautious and diversified in their approach, keeping in mind that the cryptocurrency market is still maturing and subject to rapid changes. **Conclusion** Jim Cramer's recent bearish comments on Bitcoin have stirred up a wave of discussions and speculations about the future of this leading cryptocurrency. While his track record suggests the possibility of an upcoming bull market, the volatile and unpredictable nature of the crypto world warrants a cautious approach. Investors should weigh Cramer's opinions alongside other market indicators and conduct thorough research before making investment decisions. As the cryptocurrency landscape continues to evolve, staying informed, adaptable, and prudent remains crucial for navigating the market's ebbs and flows. **FAQs** **Who is Jim Cramer?** Jim Cramer is a well-known financial expert and the host of CNBC's "Mad Money." He is recognized for his bold market predictions and has a significant influence in the financial world. **What is the "Reverse Cramer Effect"?** The "Reverse Cramer Effect" refers to a phenomenon where the market tends to move in the opposite direction of Jim Cramer's predictions. This has been observed particularly in the cryptocurrency market with Bitcoin. **Why are Jim Cramer's comments on Bitcoin important?** Cramer's comments are closely followed by investors and can influence market trends. His recent bearish stance on Bitcoin has sparked discussions and speculations about a potential bull market due to the "Reverse Cramer Effect." **What impact could Bitcoin ETFs have on the market?** The approval of Bitcoin ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) by the SEC could significantly boost Bitcoin's price by providing a regulated and accessible investment avenue, potentially attracting more mainstream and institutional investors. **Should investors base their decisions solely on Jim Cramer's predictions?** While Cramer's opinions are influential, investors are advised to conduct their own research and consider a range of factors before making investment decisions, due to the unpredictable nature of the cryptocurrency market. **That's all for today** **If you want more, be sure to follow us on:** **NOSTR: croxroad@getalby.com** **X: [@croxroadnewsco](https://x.com/croxroadnewsco)** **Instagram: [@croxroadnews.co/](https://www.instagram.com/croxroadnews.co/)** **Youtube: [@thebitcoinlibertarian](https://www.youtube.com/@thebitcoinlibertarian)** **Store: https://croxroad.store** **Subscribe to CROX ROAD Bitcoin Only Daily Newsletter** **https://www.croxroad.co/subscribe** **Get Orange Pill App And Connect With Bitcoiners In Your Area.

Vi recentemente um post onde a pessoa diz que aquele final do filme O Doutrinador (2019) não faz sentido porque mesmo se explodir o Palácio dos Três Poderes, não acaba a corrupção no Brasil. Olha a mentalidade desse pessoal! São analfabetos mesmo. Progressistas são pessoas que não sabem ler e não conseguem interpretar nada, não possuem essa capacidade de interpretar o que está lendo porque o final de Doutrinador não tem a ver com isso, tem a ver com a relação entre Herói e a sua Cidade. Nas histórias em quadrinhos sempre existe uma ligação entre a cidade e o Super-Herói, é por isso que Gotham City acaba criando o Batman, isso é mostrado em The Batman e em Batman: Cavaleiro das Trevas, quando aquele garoto no final, diz para o Batman não fugir, porque ele queria ver o Batman de novo. E o Comissário Gordon diz que o "Batman é o que a cidade de Gotham precisa." Em Batman: Cavaleiro das Trevas Ressurge você vê justamente a cidade de Gotham sendo tomada pela corrupção e pela ideologia do Bane. A Cidade vai definhando em imoralidade e o Bruce olha da prisão naquele poço a cidade sendo destruída e decide que o Batman precisa voltar porque se Gotham for destruída, o Batman é destruído junto e é por isso que ele consegue sair daquele poço e voltar para salvar Gotham. Isso também é mostrado em Demolidor. Na série Demolidor o Matt Murdock sempre está falando que ele precisa defender a cidade Cozinha do Inferno; que o Fisk não vai dominar a cidade e fazer o que ele quer. Inclusive na terceira temporada isso fica mais evidente na luta final na mansão do Fisk, onde Matt fala para ele que agora a cidade toda vai saber o que ele fez; a cidade vai ver o mal que ele é para Hell's Kitchen, porque a gente sabe que o Fisk fez de tudo para a imagem do Demolidor entrar e descrédito perante os cidadãos, então o que acontece no final ali do Doutrinador não significa que ele está acabando com a corrupção quando explode o Congresso, ele está praticamente interrompendo o ciclo do sistema, ele está colocando uma falha na engrenagem do sistema. Quando você ouve o nome "Brasília" você pensa na corrupção dos políticos, onde a farra acontece, onde os políticos moram, onde eles desviam dinheiro arrecadado dos impostos que vai tudo para Brasília, então quando você ouve falarem de Brasília, você sempre pensa que o pessoal que mora lá, mora junto com tudo de podre que acontece no Brasil. Então quando ele explode tudo ali, ele está basicamente destruindo o mecanismo que suja Brasília. Ele está fazendo isso naquela cidade. Porque o símbolo da cidade é justamente esse, a farsa de que naquele lugar o povo será ouvido e a justiça será feita. Ele está destruindo a ideologia de que o Estado nos protege, nos dá segurança, saúde e educação. Porque na verdade o Estado só existe para privilegiar os políticos, funcionários públicos de auto escalão, suas famílias e amigos. Enquanto que o povo sofre para sustentar a elite política. O protagonista Miguel entendeu isso quando a filha dele morreu na fila do SUS.

EMA 50 crossing with EMA 200 indicates short-term trend uncertainty. * **Indicator Signals:** * **Trend Strength:** Buy/Sell signals occur, but the cloud is not yet clear, indicating that the trend strength is not yet prominent. * **Money Flow:** There is an alternating inflow and outflow of funds, reflecting short-term uncertainty. * **Buyside & Sellside Liquidity:** This indicator helps identify support and resistance levels in short TFs to consider entry and exit points. * **Chart Pattern:** Consider Chart Patterns in the 15-minute TF, such as Triangle or Flag patterns, to find possible price patterns. * **Day Trade Strategy:** * **Strategy:** Focus on trading in a Sideway range, using support and resistance levels identified by Buyside & Sellside Liquidity and signals from Trend Strength to make decisions. * **SMC Setup:** Look for SMC Setups in the 15-minute TF, such as Order Blocks or Fair Value Gaps around support and resistance areas, to find short-term trend trading opportunities. * **Things to watch out for:** High volatility in the 15-minute TF may cause false signals. Appropriate Stop Loss should be used and risk should be managed strictly. **2. 4-Hour Timeframe (TF 4H)**  * **Trend:** In the 4-hour TF, the BTC price is trending upwards. EMA 50 is above EMA 200, indicating a medium-term uptrend. * **Indicator Signals:** * **Trend Strength:** A Green Cloud and Buy Signal occur, indicating a strong uptrend. * **Money Flow:** Funds continue to flow in, supporting the uptrend. * **Buyside & Sellside Liquidity:** This indicator helps identify important support and resistance levels in the 4-hour TF for medium-term trading planning. * **Chart Pattern:** Consider Chart Patterns in the 4-hour TF, such as Cup and Handle or Ascending Triangle patterns, to confirm the uptrend. * **Day Trade / Swing Trade Strategy:** * **Strategy:** Focus on trading along the uptrend, using EMA 50 and support and resistance levels from Buyside & Sellside Liquidity as reference points for entering trades. * **SMC Setup:** Look for SMC Setups in the 4-hour TF, such as Break of Structure (BOS) or Change of Character (CHOCH), to find trading opportunities along the uptrend. * **Things to watch out for:** Price consolidation in an uptrend may cause short-term pullbacks. Strong support levels should be considered, and Stop Loss should be set to prevent risk. **3. Daily Timeframe (TF Day)**  * **Trend:** In the Daily TF, the BTC price is still in a long-term uptrend. EMA 50 is clearly above EMA 200. * **Indicator Signals:** * **Trend Strength:** A Large Green Cloud and Continuous Buy Signal occur, indicating a very strong long-term uptrend. * **Money Flow:** Funds are flowing in continuously and strongly, supporting the long-term uptrend. * **Buyside & Sellside Liquidity:** This indicator helps identify important support and resistance levels in the Daily TF for long-term investment planning. * **Chart Pattern:** Consider Chart Patterns in the Daily TF, such as Bullish Flag or Wedge patterns, to confirm the long-term uptrend. * **Day Trade / Swing Trade / Long-Term Investment Strategy:** * **Strategy:** Focus on long-term investment along the uptrend, considering buying opportunities when the price pulls back to important support levels in the Daily TF. * **SMC Setup:** Look for SMC Setups in the Daily TF, such as Institutional Order Flow, to confirm the long-term uptrend. * **Things to watch out for:** Risks from external factors that may affect the cryptocurrency market in the long term. Market news and situations should be closely monitored, and investment risk should be diversified. **Summary** From analyzing BTC in 3 Timeframes with indicators and Chart Patterns, it is found that BTC still has an uptrend in the medium and long term. However, in the short term, the 15-minute TF is still volatile and uncertain. Appropriate trading strategies will vary depending on the timeframe and individual trading goals. Risk should be considered and capital should be managed appropriately. **Additional Recommendations** * **Further Study:** Further study on SMC, ICT, and Trend Strength Indicator should be done to understand the working principles and apply them effectively in trading. * **Experiment on Demo Account:** Experiment with various strategies on a Demo account before using them in real trading to test understanding and improve strategies to suit oneself. * **Follow News:** Follow cryptocurrency market news and situations regularly to inform trading and investment decisions. **Disclaimer:** This analysis is for informational purposes only and represents a personal opinion. It is not financial advice. Investing in cryptocurrencies involves significant risk. Investors should conduct their own research and exercise due diligence before making any investment decisions.

Im Zuge täglicher Enthüllungen tritt nun immer deutlicher der medial-industrielle Komplex der “Corona-Connection” zum Vorschein. Allein die Finanzströme zeigen deutlich: der Anfangsverdacht einer Verschwörung ist sichtbar und nachweisbar.* *** **Sie wollen meine (überwiegend englischen) Artikel auch per Email bekommen?**&#x20; **[Hier](https://pareto.space/u/ashoka@pareto.space#subscribe)** **können Sie sich eintragen für den Newsletter (max. 1-2 x pro Woche).** *** ### “Follow the Money” In Washington hat das große Sesselrücken begonnen: Tausende Wohnungen und Häuser werden gerade auf den Markt geschwemmt, die Suchanfragen nach Offshorebanken und Strafverteidigern explodiert. Die Ratten verlassen das sinkende Schiff, eine alte Nomenklatura fällt, eine neue wird errichtet. So ist Politik. Wie viel davon Inszenierung und wie viel echt ist, werden wir erst später erfahren.

[Die Rede auf der Münchener Sicherheitskonferenz](https://x.com/wikileaks/status/1890177866085855461?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1890177866085855461%7Ctwgr%5Ec7b04670001e6199207c6ed1c3bcf4ac8cf4d6d4%7Ctwcon%5Es1_\&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zerohedge.com%2Fpolitical%2Feruption-bleachbit-wipe-hard-drive-offshore-bank-searches-dc-suggest-deep-state-panic) war eine Zäsur in den transatlantischen Beziehungen. JD Vance hat Europa die Leviten gelesen: Wir glaubten nicht mehr an die Meinungsfreiheit, und damit an die Demokratie; wir griffen in Wahlen ein, deindustrialisierten uns selbst, betrieben ideologische Beeinflussung, Zensur und Manipulation. Eine beeindruckende Rede eines früheren Trump-Verächters (er nannte ihn mal einen Betrüger und überlegte Hillary Clinton zu wählen). Und dann der „Killer-Satz“ an das Establishment: > *„Wenn Sie Angst vor den eigenen Bürgern haben gibt es nichts, was die USA für Sie tun können.“* Ja, Vance hat in vielem Recht, Europa ist ein sektiererischer Bürokratenkontinent, der ideologisch gekapert ist. Doch vielleicht hätte Vance etwas mehr darüber sprechen können, was die USA bereits „für Europa getan haben“, allein in den letzten Jahren: * Der Europäische Debattenraum wurde mit US-Steuergeldern manipuliert, [knapp 500 Mio USD. flossen durch die Kanäle von USAID und Co.](https://www.freischwebende-intelligenz.org/p/unterwanderter-journalismus-der-mediale) * Deindustrialisierung: Danke für die Sprengung von Nordstream, großer Bruder! * Zensur: waren das nicht auch die großen amerikanische Social Media Plattformen, siehe [Twitter-Files?](https://www.freischwebende-intelligenz.org/p/twitter-files) * Ach überhaupt, der ganze Verschwörungskomplex zu Corona, ist nicht die Corona-Connection im Kern ein Konsortium überwiegend amerikanischer Player? NGOs, öffentliche Gesundheitsbehörden, CIA, Überwachungsindustrie, Big Pharma im Verbund mit China. * Wer in den letzten Jahren von “Misinformation und Disinformation” sprach, benutzte exakt das USAID-Wording und derartige Beispiele gibt es viele. *** ANZEIGE: **Sie suchen nach dem einfachsten Weg, Bitcoin zu kaufen und selbst zu verwahren?**\*\*\*\*\*\* *Die* ***[Relai-App](https://relai.app/de/?af_xp=custom\&source_caller=ui\&pid=INFLUENCER\&is_retargeting=true\&af_click_lookback=7d\&shortlink=eo5zpzew\&af_channel=branded_url\&af_inactivity_window=30d\&c=Milosz%20Matuszek)*** *ist Europas erfolgreichste Bitcoin-App.* ***[Hier](https://relai.app/de/?af_xp=custom\&source_caller=ui\&pid=INFLUENCER\&is_retargeting=true\&af_click_lookback=7d\&shortlink=eo5zpzew\&af_channel=branded_url\&af_inactivity_window=30d\&c=Milosz%20Matuszek)*** *kaufen Sie Bitcoin in wenigen Schritten und können auch Sparpläne einrichten.

Die USA (oder der deep state?) sind scheinbar im Kalten Krieg mit der eigenen Bevölkerung und der Welt: * USAID und NIAID [finanzierten Coronavirusforschung](https://www.freischwebende-intelligenz.org/p/usaid-and-co-die-ersten-kopfe-der) in Wuhan, USAID finanzierte massiv die Bill & Melinda Gates Stiftung, [Impfprogramme](https://www.ivi.int/who-we-are/ivi-the-united-states/) sowie [GAVI](https://www.gavi.org/news/media-room/united-states-endorses-gavi-recommendation-us-116-billion-four-year-commitment), CEPI, Programme für [“reproductive health](https://2017-2020.usaid.gov/sites/default/files/documents/FPRH-factsheet_OCT2020.pdf)” [etc](https://www.mathematica.org/publications/wash-for-life-findings-from-an-evaluation-of-the-partnership-between-the-bill-and-melinda-gates-fdn). Die Liste der “joint ventures” von Gates und USAID ist lang. Und USAID finanzierte den Propagandaapparat. * Früher eichte die CIA Schriftsteller im [Congress for Culture Freedom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congress_for_Cultural_Freedom), heute finanzieren sie Weiterbildungen und Medientrainings für Tausende Journalisten, auch in Europa. Die Presselandschaft wird wie bei [“Operation Mockingbird”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NK1tfkESPVY\&t=20s) einfach weiter unterwandert. * Reuters bekam 9 Mio. vom US-Verteidigungsministerium und eine köstliche Programm-Beschreibung obendrein: [Millionen für social engineering und gesellschaftliche Täuschung,](https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD_FA865018C7886_9700_-NONE-_-NONE-) *[large societal deception](https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD_FA865018C7886_9700_-NONE-_-NONE-)* [(abgekürzt LSD)](https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD_FA865018C7886_9700_-NONE-_-NONE-). Ein Wink mit dem Zaunpfahl auf [“Mission Mind Control”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMH5WgGFxlc), also Bewusstseinsexperimente der CIA, u.a. mit LSD? [](https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe5184a90-1b9c-42c3-95a7-505f87b34cac_900x471.jpeg) - Ein paar Tröpfchen LSD dürfen nicht fehlen (rechts unten) Die Rede vom Verrat an den eigenen Werten in vasallenartigem Gehorsam reiht sich jedenfalls schlecht ein in den noch größeren Verrat der eigenen Werte und eine Form von Hochverrat am Bürger durch amerikanische Behörden. Was genau bleibt also vom Vorwurf von Vance? Ihr habt bei der von uns mitfinanzierten Propagandamaschinerie etwas zu gut mitgemacht. Watch your values! Die Rede von Vance sei Wahlbeeinflussung, eine Einmischung in „unsere Demokratie“, heißt es nun bei hiesigen Nomenklaturapolitikern. Wahlbeeinflussung durch Vance? Eine schöne Nebelkerze. Die größte Wahlbeeinflussung war doch die mit Milliarden USAID-Geld finanzierte ideologische Unterwanderung des europäischen Debattenraums, von Moldawien und der Ukraine bis Deutschland und Frankreich: Internews Network, Trusted News Initiativen, Factchecker, Kampagnen zu „Misinformation/Disinformation“ uvm. Der europäische Debattenraum wurde auf CIA-Narrativebene geeicht. Die Europäer sind konsterniert: Sie haben mitgemacht und werden jetzt von Vance „unter den Bus geworfen“. Sie stehen als die nützlichen Idioten da, die sie waren. Auch eine Form von Gaslighing: Bestrafung für Gehorsam. ### Das Business Modell des Philanthrokapitalismus Der Verrat der Werte, er zieht sich längst durch alle Ebenen von Bürokratie, Politik, Wirtschaft. Was eröffnet auch bessere Geschäftsmöglichkeiten als Gedankenkontrolle, Beeinflussung, autoritäre Einschüchterungsmethoden, durchgeführt von einem korporativen Machtapparat aus Politik, Polizei, Medien, Big Tech und Pharma? Unter denen, die wegen USAID am meisten aufheulen, ist Bill Gates. Zu diesem tauchen, welch Wunder, gerade überall Lobesartikel auf, in US-Sendungen wird er wieder als Gesundheitsexperte herumgereicht, warnt vor Millionen Toten, wenn die Hilfen, die in seine Gesundheitsprogramme von USAID flossen, gestoppt werden. Nur am Rande: Gerade gab es einen Ebolaausbruch in Uganda. [Die WHO lobt den schnellen Impfstart.](https://www.watson.ch/international/gesundheit/825991708-ebola-ausbruch-in-uganda-who-lobt-zuegigen-impfstart) Immer diese Zufälle, *pandamic preparedness* sei Dank, Herr Gates! USAID und Gates sind [ziemlich beste Freunde](https://www.gatesfoundation.org/Ideas/Media-Center/Press-Releases/2010/06/Gates-Foundation-and-USAID-Announce-Innovative-Fund-to-Incentivize-Mobile-Money-Services-in-Haiti): Die weltgrößte Privatstiftung von Eugeniker Gates und eine CIA-Frontorganisation in trauter Verbundenheit. Was soll da anderes rauskommen, als die größte Psyop der Welt? Nein, USAID hat nicht in 1.6 Mrd. Dollar in deutsche Medien gesteckt, wie kürzlich per falschem Screenshot auf X verbreitet wurde. Die EU steckte dafür [132 Mio. Euro in journalistische EU-PR.](https://archive.ph/Ntehp) Doch es blieb genug Geld für die Medien übrig, um den Corona-Scam zu glauben, zu verbreiten – und sich boostern zu lassen. [](https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc4119cc3-7237-44f3-a714-173650a675b6_458x768.png) So wird ein Schuh draus: (Netzfund) Darüber hinaus steckte USAID Milliarden in Gavi und CEPI, die Gatesschen Impfkonsortien mit Sitz in der Schweiz. Sowie in zig andere Programme der Gatesstiftung. Teils floss Geld zurück. Ein Geben und Nehmen. All das wäre für ein James-Bond-Drehbuch zu viel des Guten und Undenkbaren: Wir haben es bei der Corona-Connection mit einer Verschwörung von Geheimdienstkreisen, China und Philanthrokapitalisten zu tun. Deren teils geheimdienstfinanzierten Outlets (GAVI, CEPI), aber auch die WHO genießen in der Schweiz Steuervorteile und Immunität, wie eine Botschaft. Und so wird ein Business-Modell daraus: * Man suche sich ein Tätigkeitsfeld, Anliegen oder ein sonstiges Vorhaben der sozialen Ingenieurskunst aus. Bei Gates: Bevölkerungskontrolle und -reduktion, Impfstoffverkauf. 2010-2020 sollte die Dekade der Impfstoffe werden – und wurde es. Gates Gebaren konnte man [2015 in einer kritischen Untersuchung](https://archive.globalpolicy.org/images/pdfs/GPFEurope/Philanthropic_Power_online.pdf) von “Misereor” und “Brot für die Welt” studieren. * Dann definiere man Strukturen, Mechanismen und Businessmodelle zur Umsetzung. In einer [Studie von USAID, BMGF sowie Rockefeller-Stiftung](https://web.archive.org/web/20210309193849/https://www.usaid.gov/sites/default/files/documents/1864/AI-in-Global-Health_webFinal_508.pdf) zum Einsatz von KI im Gesundheitsbereich liest man es exemplarisch schwarz auf weiß: *“If evidence is promising, define business case – Wenn die Beweise vielversprechend sind, entwickle eine Geschäftsidee.”* [](https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff5d42b19-4f01-4d68-9fde-66d2ad7b71b0_836x222.png) * Es erfolgt ein Investment in die Geschäftsidee. Das nennt sich dann Program-Related Investment, und nicht nur “grant”, wie die [New York Times](https://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/13/business/from-the-gates-foundation-direct-investment-not-just-grants.html?_r=0) früher noch kritisierte. Hier wird der angebliche Altruismus zum systemischen legalen Interessenkonflikt. Katastrophen zahlen sich jetzt aus. * WHO, Partnerorganisationen, News-Netzwerke werden auf die Idee geeicht, das übliche PR-Geschäft. * Dann noch schnell ein Planspiel, in Wuhan ist der USAID-Partner mit der gain of function-Forschung nämlich schon bereit für den Lab-Leak. Investments in Curevac, Biontech & Co. sind bereits getätigt, das politische Feld in Sachen Epidemic Preparedness ohnehin vorgeimpft (und beteiligt, hunderte Millionen gingen von Deutschland an die BMGF und CEPI, Gavi). In dieser Phase hängt der Erfolg der Operation nur noch davon ab, wie gut (und wie lange) man es schafft, das Overton-Fenster in den Medien (also das, was relevant ist) mit immer neuen Propaganda-Erzählungen und Angstbildern vollzuhängen, die sozialen Medien zurechtzustutzen und Kritiker zu dezimieren: Fertig ist der größte kriminelle Coup der Geschichte. Alle Beteiligten gewinnen: Gates vedient an den Impfstoffen, kann das Geld steuerbefreit in der Stiftung für neue Machtgewinnungsfeldzüge einsetzen, die CIA hat ein erfolgreiches Massenhypnose-Experiment durchgeführt und China konnte die Weltwirtschaft hinter sich lassen, intern die Pandemie schnell besiegen und dem Westen seine sehr schnell in Vergessenheit geratenen Bürger- und Menschenrechte vorhalten. Diese Rechte fielen ungefähr so schnell, wie die Menschen in chinesischen Propagandavideos auf der Straße zusammensackten. Nur in China übrigens, nirgendwo anders. *** **Sie wollen meine (überwiegend englischen) Artikel auch per Email bekommen?** **[Hier](https://pareto.space/u/ashoka@pareto.space#subscribe)** **können Sie sich eintragen für den Newsletter (max. 1-2 x pro Woche).** *** Philanthrokapitalismus bedeutet übersetzt, den Anreiz auszuleben, mit Kontrollphantasien, Social Engineering und Technokratie zugleich Geld zu verdienen, Steuern zu sparen, und Macht zu gewinnen. Ein Honeypot für schwerreiche Psychopathen, die munter nach Gutsherrenart an der Bevölkerung herumschrauben wollen. Der Philanthrokapitalismus eines Gates, Soros & Co ist das gefährlichste korporatistische Räuberbaronentum der Neuzeit. Der Staat kann legal für private Machterreichungszwecke ausgenommen werden – zum Schaden der Bürger. Es gab bei Corona viele Profiteure. Und viele Opfer. Über beide werden wir in naher Zukunft noch viel mehr erfahren. Die Welle der Aufarbeitung rollt. Und die Konsequenzen? Ein Bill Gates sollte vielleicht daran denken, nicht erst dann zu flüchten, wenn die Epstein-Files veröffentlicht werden, sondern schon früher. In der amerikanischen Verfassung gibt es nur einen Strafrechtsparagraphen und dieser lautet so: Artikel III, Abschnitt 3 der US-Verfassung: *„Hochverrat gegen die Vereinigten Staaten besteht ausschließlich darin, Krieg gegen sie zu führen oder ihren Feinden Beistand und Unterstützung zu leisten.“* Die Corona-Impfkampagne hat die Gesundheit der Amerikaner, auch der von Soldaten massiv geschadet, wie akut erhöhte Krankenstände und Nebenwirkungsmeldungen zeigten. Damit wurde Feinden der USA (mindestens jede verfeindete Kriegspartei) Beistand geleistet. Eines wissen wir schon jetzt: So in etwa ist der “Source Code” des Bösen programmiert. *** ***You prefer reading me in English?*** *You can find my first uncensorable articles written with our Pareto client via Nostr,* ***[clicking on this link.](https://pareto.space/u/ashoka@pareto.space)*** *Discover other authors at* ***[Pareto.space/read.](https://pareto.space/read)(click on the Pareto button to see our first authors).*** [](https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto%2Cq_auto%3Agood%2Cfl_progressive%3Asteep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc33bfce1-1a89-42ff-a89f-e1fbd7edfac4_2382x1272.png) *** ***Join the marketplace of ideas!** We are building a publishing ecosystem on Nostr for citizen-journalism, starting with a client for blogging and newsletter distribution.

# Bitcoin: The Future of Collateralized Loans _Bitcoin is transforming the financial landscape, not just as a digital currency but arguably as the best form of collateral for unlocking liquidity. At Lendasat, we're pioneering this shift by working towards a trustless, self-custodial lending platform that lets users borrow against their Bitcoin without selling it. Let's explore Bitcoin's unmatched value as collateral and how Lendasat's innovative approach - with Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs) and integrations - make borrowing secure, simple, and practical. Bitcoin unlocks cash access without letting it go._  --- ## Why Bitcoin Stands Out as Collateral ##### Bitcoin's intrinsic properties set it apart from traditional assets like real estate or stocks: 🌐 **Decentralized Control:** No intermediaries, ensuring transparency and independence. 💧 **Ultimate Liquidity:** Bitcoin is one of the most liquid assets in the world, tradable 24/7 without interruption. Unlike traditional markets with public holidays, and weekend downtime, Bitcoin operates continuously, allowing transactions at any time from anywhere. ✅ **Capped Supply:** Only 21 million coins will ever exist, shielding it from dilution/inflation. 🔒 **Robust Security:** Backed by cryptography and a global mining network, Bitcoin is portable, durable, and verifiable. These qualities make Bitcoin an ideal foundation for lending, a vision Lendasat brings to life. Our app leverages Bitcoin's censorship-resistant nature to offer a collateral option that traditional assets can't rival. ## The "Buy, Borrow, Die" Strategy: A Smart Money Move Now Available For Everyone  > For those unfamiliar, the "buy, borrow, die" strategy involves buying assets, borrowing against them for liquidity, and holding until death to pass on the assets with a stepped-up basis, minimizing taxes. Savvy investors and businesses often borrow against their holdings rather than sell them. Why? It's a tax-efficient way to access cash while retaining ownership and future gains. With Bitcoin, this approach is even more compelling: 🏷️ **Tax Advantage:** No capital gains taxes when borrowing instead of selling. 🔒 **Ownership Retention:** Keep your Bitcoin and its potential upside. 📈 **Growth Exposure:** Benefit from Bitcoin's long-term appreciation. Lendasat's motto, **"Get the bread you need without having to part with your corn"** encapsulates this strategy. We empower users to tap into their Bitcoin's value without sacrificing their stake in its future. Bitcoin gives access to practices that were previously reserved to the wealthiest individuals and companies. ℹ️ **Note:** Tax benefits may vary depending on your jurisdiction. Please consult with a tax professional. ## Lendasat's Vision: Seamless Lending Process ##### Lendasat, in its public release, will make Bitcoin-backed loans straightforward and secure. Here's how it works: 1. Secure Your Bitcoin: Lock your BTC in a Discreet Log Contract (DLC), a "smart contract" that eliminates counterparty risk while keeping you in control 2.

Adopting Inversion Thinking, a mental model championed by Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett, can enhance decision-making and problem-solving by focusing on potential pitfalls to avoid. This approach involves considering the opposite of your desired outcome to identify and mitigate risks effectively. --- ## Understanding Inversion Thinking - **Definition:** Inversion Thinking entails approaching problems by asking, "What could cause failure?" rather than solely focusing on achieving success. This perspective helps in uncovering obstacles and errors that might be overlooked when only considering positive outcomes. --- ## Examples in Practice - **Charlie Munger's Approach:** Munger emphasizes solving problems by inverting them. For instance, instead of asking how to be successful, he suggests identifying what actions could lead to failure and then avoiding those actions. [FS.BLOG](https://fs.blog) - **Warren Buffett's Investment Strategy:** Buffett applies inversion by considering what factors could cause an investment to fail, such as poor management or unsustainable business models, and avoids investments with these red flags. --- ## Implementing Inversion Thinking 1. **Define the Problem:** Clearly articulate the challenge or goal you are addressing. 2. **Invert the Problem:** Ask what actions or factors could lead to the opposite of your desired outcome. 3. **Identify Preventative Measures:** Determine strategies to avoid these negative actions or factors. 4. **Apply Insights to Decision-Making:** Use the information gathered to inform your choices, focusing on avoiding identified pitfalls. --- ## Action Step Consider a current goal or project. Apply inversion by asking, "What steps could lead to failure in this endeavor?" List these potential pitfalls and develop strategies to prevent them, thereby increasing the likelihood of success. --- By integrating Inversion Thinking into your decision-making process, you can proactively address potential challenges, leading to more robust and resilient strategies. ---
