War is rarely (or if ever) the will of the people. Throughout history, wars have been orchestrated by political and economic elites, while the media plays a key role in shaping public opinion. World War I is a clear example of how propaganda was used to glorify war, silence dissent, and demonize the enemy. Today, we see similar tactics being used in the Ukrainian War. The media spreads one-sided narratives, censors alternative views, and manipulates public sentiment. This article argues that **wars are decided from the top**, and media is used to justify them. --- ## How the Media Glorified and Propagated WW1 ### The Media Sold War as an Adventure Before WW1, newspapers and propaganda made war seem noble and exciting. Young men were encouraged to enlist for honor and glory. Posters displayed slogans like *“Your Country Needs You”*, making war look like a duty rather than a tragedy. ### Demonization of the Enemy Governments and media portrayed Germans as "barbaric Huns," spreading exaggerated stories like the "Rape of Belgium," where German soldiers were accused of horrific war crimes—many later proven false. Today, Russia is painted as purely evil, while NATO’s role and Ukraine’s internal conflicts are ignored. ### Social Pressure & Nationalism Anyone who opposed WW1 was labeled a traitor. Conscientious objectors were shamed, jailed, or even executed. The same happens today—if you question support for Ukraine, you are called "pro-Russian" or "anti-European." In the U.S., opposing war is falsely linked to supporting Trump or extremism. ### Fabricated Stories During WW1, fake reports of German soldiers killing babies were widely spread. In Ukraine, reports of massacres and war crimes often circulate without verification, while Ukrainian war crimes receive little coverage. --- ## How the Media Promotes War Today: The Case of Ukraine ### One-Sided Narratives The media presents Ukraine as a heroic struggle against an evil invader, ignoring the 2014 coup, the Donbas conflict, and NATO expansion. By simplifying the issue, people are discouraged from questioning the full story. ### Censorship and Suppression of Dissent During WW1, anti-war activists were jailed. Today, journalists and commentators questioning NATO’s role face censorship, deplatforming, or cancellation. ### Selective Coverage Media highlights civilian deaths in Ukraine but ignores similar suffering in Yemen, Syria, or Palestine. Coverage depends on political interests, not humanitarian concern. ### Glorification of War Efforts Ukrainian soldiers—even extremist groups—are painted as heroes. Meanwhile, peace negotiations and diplomatic efforts receive little attention. --- ## War is a Top-Down Decision, Not the Will of the People ### People Don’t Want Wars If given a choice, most people would reject war. Examples: - **Before WW1:** Many workers and socialists opposed war, but governments ignored them. - **Vietnam War:** Protests grew, but the war continued. - **Iraq War (2003):** Millions protested, yet the invasion went ahead. ### Small Elites Decide War Wars benefit arms manufacturers, politicians, and corporate interests—not ordinary people. Public opposition is often ignored or crushed. ### Manipulation Through Fear Governments use fear to justify war: *“If we don’t act now, it will be too late.”* This tactic was used in WW1, the Iraq War, and is used today in Ukraine. --- ## Violence vs. War: A Manufactured Conflict ### Violence Happens, But War is Manufactured Conflicts and disputes are natural, but large-scale war is **deliberately planned** using propaganda and logistical preparation. ### War Requires Justification If war were natural, why does it need **massive media campaigns** to convince people to fight? Just like in WW1, today’s wars rely on media narratives to gain support. --- ## The Crimea Referendum: A Case of Ignored Democracy ### Crimea’s 2014 Referendum - Over **90% of Crimeans voted to join Russia** in 2014. - Western governments called it "illegitimate," while similar referendums (like in Kosovo) were accepted. ### The Contradiction in Democracy - If democracy is sacred, why ignore a **clear vote** in Crimea? - Other examples: Brexit was resisted, Catalonia’s referendum was shut down, and peace referendums were dismissed when they didn’t fit political interests. - **Democracy is used as a tool when convenient.** --- ## VII. The Libertarian Case Against War ### The Non-Aggression Principle (NAP) Libertarianism is fundamentally opposed to war because it violates the **Non-Aggression Principle (NAP)**—the idea that no person or institution has the right to initiate force against another. War, by its very nature, is the **ultimate violation of the NAP**, as it involves mass killing, destruction, and theft under the guise of national interest. ### War is State Aggression - Governments wage wars, not individuals. No private citizen would naturally start a conflict with another country. - The state **forces people to fund wars through taxation**, violating their economic freedom. - **Conscription**, used in many wars, is nothing more than **state-sponsored slavery**, forcing individuals to fight and die for political goals they may not support. ### War Creates Bigger Government - War expands state power, **eroding civil liberties** (e.g., WW1's Espionage Act, the Patriot Act after 9/11). - The **military-industrial complex** grows richer while taxpayers foot the bill. - **Emergency powers granted during wars rarely get repealed** after conflicts end, leaving citizens with fewer freedoms. ### Peaceful Trade vs. War - Libertarians advocate for **free trade** as a means of cooperation. Countries that trade are **less likely to go to war**. - Wars **destroy wealth and infrastructure**, while peaceful trade **increases prosperity** for all. - Many wars have been fought **not for defense, but for economic interests**, such as securing **oil, resources, or geopolitical power**. ### Who Benefits from War? - **Not the people**, who suffer death, destruction, and economic hardship. - **Not small businesses or workers**, who bear the burden of inflation and taxes to fund wars. - **Not individual liberty**, as war leads to **greater state control and surveillance**. - **Only the elites**, including **defense contractors, politicians, and bankers**, who profit from war and use it to consolidate power. ## Conclusion: The Media’s Role in War is Crucial Wars don’t happen naturally—they are **carefully planned and sold to the public** using propaganda, fear, and nationalism. - **WW1 and Ukraine prove that media is key to war-making.** - **The media silences peace efforts and glorifies conflict.** - **If people truly had a choice, most wars would never happen.** To resist this, we must **recognize how we are manipulated** and reject the forced narratives that push us toward war.

## 🧠Quote(s) of the week: Bitcoin adoption: 1. Slow enough to confuse nearly everyone. 2. Fast enough to change your life if you can just stay focused for 4 years. Do you notice the higher your intellect grows (thanks to Bitcoin) the more unsocial you become, In real life. Or it's just me? 'First companies will add Bitcoin to their balance sheets. Then states will buy for their treasuries. And finally, sovereigns will hold it as a strategic asset. A natural progression that is already underway.' - James Lavish ## 🧡Bitcoin news🧡 After last week's dip, I want to share the following quote and picture. Just to keep you sharp & focused. SAIFEDEAN AMMOUS: "If you think in years, dips are opportunities—not problems. Zoom out."

I couldn't agree more with Peter Schiff: "Bitcoin is digital gold, which is better than analog gold. So let's create a Bitcoin reserve...", "But what's the rationale for an XRP reserve? Why the hell would we need that?" Trump pumped and dumped a meme coin on the eve of his presidency. Of course, he wants shitcoins, XRP, SOL, and ADA, in the strategic reserve. This is basically all of our journeys from Bitcoin to shitcoins, back to Bitcoin, but on a national scale. Even Brian Armstrong, CEO of the biggest shitcoin casino in the world, Coinbase, thinks the Reserve should be Bitcoin only. Luke Broyles: 'My prediction: 1) Trump makes crypto reserve. 2) Reserve pumps all assets. 3) Retail and some companies get burnt in said pump. 4) Public outcry to crypto reserve along with other critiques of the Trump administration. 5) Crypto reserve is dumped in the next bear market. Massive downwards narrative catalyst. Back to no Bitcoin. 6) The government figures out the importance of Bitcoin PoW and goes BTC only soon afterward. 7) Other nations follow suit over years' Seems legit.

'This loss is primarily attributed to the sharp increase in interest rates initiated by the ECB since the summer of 2022 to combat high inflation. This led to higher interest expenses for the Bundesbank, as it had to pay more on deposits held by commercial banks. In 2023, the Bundesbank offset a loss of €21.6 billion by fully releasing its provision for general risk and drawing from other reserves. However, by the end of 2024, only €0.7 billion in reserves remained available, insufficient to cover the year's losses.

The recipe for the downfall of a relationship is quite simple: marry someone with whom you have nothing in common. The exotic tends to be attractive, but how many times, in a fine restaurant, has a customer discreetly spat into a napkin what they had just chewed because the eye-catching appearance betrayed them with an unbearable taste? At the end of a hard day or a week of good results, we simply want to recline in a chair and celebrate in our own way what we have overcome. In the high phase of life, when the days are ripe for harvest, this desire will manifest with even greater intensity. And when your prosperity extends into the shade, and the days grow longer due to idleness, what will the two of you have to talk about? Will your mentalities align? Or will this person nestle on your shoulder and pour out a history of degeneration, drinking, parties, and casual relationships, because that is their only life experience? I do not speak only in the professional sense, but of progress as a whole: when you have overcome your flaws, will you want to share your life with someone who nurtures theirs and takes their own ego as a lover? Some are lucky to meet during the journey—a great privilege. But in general, the busy ones find each other after the work is done, and it is natural for both to want to enjoy in this peaceful phase what their efforts have granted them. At that moment, being beside someone whose travels or experiences are fresh and well-earned as rewards for their own sacrifices contrasts with sharing life with someone who has already been through it countless times, with the merit of a parasite. Opportunists and freeloaders exist on both sides. Do not take by the hand someone who is merely waiting for a winner at the finish line. It is easy to appear clean and unscarred when one has not run even a kilometer. Do not be unfair to your lifelong efforts; find someone who represents you in determination, ethics, and principles, and you will multiply your fruits here on Earth. Also, remember that old piece of advice: "be what you seek to have," so that your future demands are not those of a hypocrite. Thank you for reading, my friend! If this message resonated with you, consider leaving your "🥃" as a token of appreciation. A toast to our family!

 I was reminded of this comic this morning. Very relevant to this day. The losers suddenly fear the government. Or rather the current administration. Those that used to fear the government falsely believe they can wield it to do "good". This is an illusion. Like the Ring of Power it has no master. The only winner is the state. It grows more powerful. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/903795

# Spoiler Alert Please do not read this post if you have not read The Three Body Problem or The Dark Forest by Liu Cixin and ever intend to. ## Now that you've been warned... I just finally finished The Dark Forest, the middle book of the three body trilogy. Boy howdy!!! How cool were those last 50 pages!? So, there's much to discuss for bitcoiners concerning the parallel between the dark forest and the byzantine generals' dilemma, but, for now, can we just talk about the ultra-brief mention of lasers in that chaotic part after the destruction of Starship Earth? If I got it right, in that era, the general population possesses en masse handgun style lasers. These lasers are powerful enough for self defense, but individually, not powerful enough to take down a spaceship trying to launch. HOWEVER, and this is the cool part, all together they CAN take down a spaceship because...you know, how lasers work and stuff. They compound their energy together or something like that. Correct me here science nerds.  _{like this, but with lasers, right?} What an interesting, but basically-just-mentioned-in-passing idea! I feel like the implications of this could have been fleshed out a whole lot more, although I can see how it was just a creative idea he came up with to serve a totally different story. Anyway, it reminded me of bitcoin...but violent. I've long had an idea in the back of my head for a fantasy story in which the magic system is decentralized, but Cixin Liu came up with a really great sci-fi equivalent here. I wonder if some creative storyteller might want to jump on a similar idea? ...and yeah, I know, a WAY bigger discussion could be had about how the dark forest and the byzantine generals' dilemma are similar and the implication that a bitcoiny response could shed light in the dark forest. I just think this whole laser thing is more of a cool parallel right now. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/903753

This piece is the first in a series that will focus on things I think are a priority if your focus is similar to mine: building a strong family and safeguarding their future. --- Choosing the ideal place to raise a family is one of the most significant decisions you will ever make. For simplicity sake I will break down my thought process into key factors: strong property rights, the ability to grow your own food, access to fresh water, the freedom to own and train with guns, and a dependable community. **A Jurisdiction with Strong Property Rights** Strong property rights are essential and allow you to build on a solid foundation that is less likely to break underneath you. Regions with a history of limited government and clear legal protections for landowners are ideal. Personally I think the US is the single best option globally, but within the US there is a wide difference between which state you choose. Choose carefully and thoughtfully, think long term. Obviously if you are not American this is not a realistic option for you, there are other solid options available especially if your family has mobility. I understand many do not have this capability to easily move, consider that your first priority, making movement and jurisdiction choice possible in the first place. **Abundant Access to Fresh Water** Water is life. I cannot overstate the importance of living somewhere with reliable, clean, and abundant freshwater. Some regions face water scarcity or heavy regulations on usage, so prioritizing a place where water is plentiful and your rights to it are protected is critical. Ideally you should have well access so you are not tied to municipal water supplies. In times of crisis or chaos well water cannot be easily shutoff or disrupted. If you live in an area that is drought prone, you are one drought away from societal chaos. Not enough people appreciate this simple fact. **Grow Your Own Food** A location with fertile soil, a favorable climate, and enough space for a small homestead or at the very least a garden is key. In stable times, a small homestead provides good food and important education for your family. In times of chaos your family being able to grow and raise healthy food provides a level of self sufficiency that many others will lack. Look for areas with minimal restrictions, good weather, and a culture that supports local farming. **Guns** The ability to defend your family is fundamental. A location where you can legally and easily own guns is a must. Look for places with a strong gun culture and a political history of protecting those rights. Owning one or two guns is not enough and without proper training they will be a liability rather than a benefit. Get comfortable and proficient. Never stop improving your skills. If the time comes that you must use a gun to defend your family, the skills must be instinct. Practice. Practice. Practice. **A Strong Community You Can Depend On** No one thrives alone. A ride or die community that rallies together in tough times is invaluable. Seek out a place where people know their neighbors, share similar values, and are quick to lend a hand. Lead by example and become a good neighbor, people will naturally respond in kind. Small towns are ideal, if possible, but living outside of a major city can be a solid balance in terms of work opportunities and family security. --- Let me know if you found this helpful. My plan is to break down how I think about these five key subjects in future posts.

Olá, pessoal! Hoje quero compartilhar um momento muito especial: minha primeira consulta como aromaterapeuta! Sempre sonhei em usar meus conhecimentos para ajudar as pessoas, e finalmente tive a oportunidade de colocar isso em prática. Tudo começou de forma espontânea, em uma conversa com uma amiga. Ela mencionou que estava buscando um tratamento para remover um olho de peixe, e logo me veio à mente o óleo essencial de melaleuca. No entanto, hesitei um pouco, achando que talvez fosse uma opção cara. Então, sugeri um tratamento convencional de farmácia, o Verrux. Por curiosidade, resolvi pesquisar os valores e me surpreendi: um medicamento que antes era acessível agora custava quase R$ 100! Foi nesse momento que minha paixão pela aromaterapia falou mais alto. Revirei meus livros e materiais de estudo e confirmei que o óleo essencial de melaleuca era uma alternativa segura, eficaz e muito mais acessível. Além de ser uma opção natural, o tratamento aromaterapêutico tem menos efeitos colaterais e respeita o equilíbrio do corpo. Esse primeiro atendimento reforçou minha vontade de ajudar mais pessoas com o poder dos óleos essenciais! Estou ansiosa pelos resultados e feliz por poder oferecer soluções naturais para o bem-estar. Se você tem dúvidas ou quer saber mais sobre como a aromaterapia pode ajudar no seu dia a dia, me mande uma mensagem!

Argentina's financial landscape is taking a significant turn with the adoption of Bitcoin for rental payments, an innovative move reflecting the country's openness to digital currencies. This pioneering transaction not only serves as a testament to Argentina's adaptability in the face of economic fluctuations but also marks a pivotal shift towards a more inclusive financial system. Amidst the backdrop of inflationary pressures and currency devaluation, cryptocurrencies offer a semblance of stability and reliability, enticing Argentinians to look towards digital solutions for everyday transactions. The use of Bitcoin in real estate transactions symbolizes a broader acceptance of digital currencies, challenging traditional banking paradigms and showcasing the potential for a digital economy. This event is not just a milestone for Argentina but also a beacon for countries worldwide grappling with similar economic challenges, demonstrating the viability of cryptocurrencies as a medium of exchange. By embracing Bitcoin for such a critical aspect of daily life—rental payments—Argentina is setting a precedent, illustrating the practical applications of digital currencies beyond speculative investments. This movement towards digital currency adoption is fostering a new era of financial inclusivity, where access to banking and financial services is no longer hindered by traditional barriers, offering a glimmer of hope for a more democratized financial future. **Table of Contents** - The Historic Bitcoin Rental Transaction - Impact on Real Estate and Financial Transactions - Challenges and Opportunities Ahead - The Future of Cryptocurrencies in Argentina - Conclusion - FAQs **The Historic Bitcoin Rental Transaction** The transaction facilitated by Fiwind marks a watershed moment for Argentina, showcasing the tangible application of Bitcoin in the real estate market. This isn't merely about the novelty of using digital currency for rent but a reflection of a deeper shift towards digital transformation in financial dealings. The choice of Bitcoin, equivalent to 100 USDT, for this transaction, underscores the growing confidence in cryptocurrencies as a stable and viable alternative to fiat currencies, even in the face of their notorious volatility. This event highlights the synergies between blockchain technology and real estate transactions, pointing towards a future where such digital transactions could become the norm rather than the exception. The role of Fiwind in this transaction is emblematic of the critical role fintech companies are playing in bridging the gap between traditional financial services and the emerging digital economy. Through this pioneering payment, Argentina is not just experimenting with new technology but also laying the groundwork for a financial ecosystem that is more adaptable, secure, and inclusive. The successful execution of this rental payment using Bitcoin paves the way for further innovation in the sector, encouraging other players in the real estate market to explore the benefits of cryptocurrency transactions. This could lead to a ripple effect, where the acceptance and use of digital currencies become widespread, transforming the way financial transactions are conducted across the board. **Impact on Real Estate and Financial Transactions** The introduction of Bitcoin payments in the real estate sector is not just a one-off event but a sign of the evolving landscape of financial transactions in Argentina and globally. This development has the potential to catalyze a significant shift in how transactions are conducted, moving away from traditional, cumbersome processes to more streamlined, digital-first approaches. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies for real estate transactions extend beyond the immediate convenience and security—they represent a fundamental change in the perception and utilization of digital currencies in substantial financial dealings. The blockchain technology underlying Bitcoin transactions offers unparalleled transparency and security, mitigating many of the risks associated with traditional real estate transactions, such as fraud and delays in payment processing. Moreover, this shift towards digital currencies can greatly enhance the accessibility of real estate markets, removing barriers for international investors and simplifying cross-border transactions. As Argentina explores the full potential of cryptocurrencies in real estate, it sets a precedent for other sectors to follow suit, potentially revolutionizing payment and investment models across the economy. This could lead to greater efficiency, reduced costs, and a more inclusive market, where anyone with access to digital currencies can participate without the need for traditional banking infrastructure. The impact of this development could extend far beyond the real estate sector, influencing how businesses and individuals alike think about and engage with the financial system. **Challenges and Opportunities Ahead** While the adoption of Bitcoin for rental payments in Argentina opens up new avenues for the use of digital currencies, it also brings to light several challenges that need to be addressed. Regulatory uncertainty remains one of the biggest hurdles, as governments and financial institutions grapple with how to integrate cryptocurrencies within existing legal and financial frameworks. The volatile nature of digital currencies adds another layer of complexity, raising questions about valuation, taxation, and consumer protection. Despite these challenges, the opportunities presented by the broader adoption of cryptocurrencies are immense. They offer the potential for a more efficient and transparent financial system, reduced transaction costs, and increased access to financial services for underserved populations. Moreover, the adoption of digital currencies can spur innovation in financial technologies, encouraging the development of new tools and services that enhance the security and efficiency of transactions. As Argentina navigates these challenges and opportunities, it can serve as a valuable case study for other countries considering the role of digital currencies in their economies. By addressing regulatory and volatility concerns, Argentina can pave the way for a more stable and inclusive financial ecosystem, where cryptocurrencies play a significant role in everyday transactions. This journey towards cryptocurrency adoption is not without its obstacles, but the potential benefits for economic inclusivity, efficiency, and innovation make it a venture worth pursuing. **The Future of Cryptocurrencies in Argentina** The successful rental payment in Bitcoin is more than a novelty; it's a harbinger of the potential future role of digital currencies in Argentina's economy. As the country continues to explore the possibilities of cryptocurrencies, we can expect to see an expansion in their use across various sectors, from retail to services and beyond. This could dramatically transform the payment landscape, making digital currencies a common feature of everyday transactions. The implications of such a shift are profound, offering the possibility of a more inclusive financial system that transcends the limitations of traditional banking. However, the journey towards widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies is contingent on several factors, including technological advancements, regulatory clarity, and societal acceptance. As Argentina navigates these factors, it could emerge as a leader in the adoption of digital currencies, setting a benchmark for other nations. The potential for cryptocurrencies to improve efficiency, reduce transaction costs, and enhance financial inclusion is significant, suggesting a bright future for their role in Argentina's economy. This evolution towards a digital-first financial landscape represents a significant leap forward, promising a more accessible, secure, and efficient way of conducting transactions for all Argentinians. **Conclusion** The integration of Bitcoin into Argentina's rental market is a significant milestone, highlighting the growing acceptance and potential of cryptocurrencies to redefine traditional financial systems. This development is not just about the adoption of a new payment method but reflects a broader shift towards digital innovation and economic reform. As Argentina continues to embrace cryptocurrencies, it contributes to the global conversation on the future of finance, demonstrating the practical benefits and challenges of digital currencies. The journey of cryptocurrencies from niche investment to mainstream payment option is fraught with hurdles, but the opportunities they present for economic reform and innovation are unparalleled. As we reflect on Argentina's experience, it's clear that the role of cryptocurrencies in the global financial system is only set to grow, promising a future where digital transactions are the norm, offering greater accessibility, security, and efficiency. The adoption of Bitcoin for rentals in Argentina is just the beginning, paving the way for a future where cryptocurrencies play a central role in our financial lives, transforming how we think about and engage with money. **FAQs** **What is the significance of Argentina embracing Bitcoin for rentals?** Argentina's adoption of Bitcoin for rentals marks a milestone in the country's financial landscape, highlighting its progressive approach to digital currencies. **How was the historic Bitcoin rental transaction in Argentina facilitated?** The transaction was made possible by Fiwind and involved a rental payment in Bitcoin, equivalent to 100 USDT. **What impact does this development have on real estate and financial transactions in Argentina?** It opens new avenues for faster, more secure, and accessible payment methods in real estate, potentially transforming financial transactions across various sectors. **What challenges and opportunities are associated with cryptocurrency adoption in Argentina?** Challenges include regulatory issues and cryptocurrency volatility, while opportunities include a more efficient and inclusive financial system. **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.

In a world filled with uncertainty, confusion, and competing worldviews, it is easy to feel lost. Society bombards us with messages about identity, morality, and purpose that often shift with cultural trends. However, for those who turn to the Bible, a firm foundation for understanding life’s complexities can be found. Through Scripture, we gain clarity about the nature of the world, our purpose within it, and the ultimate hope that transcends its troubles. ***A World in Chaos—But Not Without Order*** The world can often feel like a place of chaos and suffering. Wars rage, injustices abound, and personal struggles weigh heavily on the human heart. But when we view the world through the lens of the Bible, we see that disorder is not without explanation. The Bible teaches that sin entered the world through human rebellion against God (Genesis 3). This act brought brokenness into every aspect of creation, distorting relationships, corrupting institutions, and introducing pain and death. Yet, even in the midst of chaos, there remains divine order. God’s sovereignty ensures that history moves according to His plan. Proverbs 19:21 reminds us, “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” What appears as randomness or injustice to the human eye is under the guiding hand of a righteous and sovereign Creator. **Truth in a World of Relativism** One of the greatest struggles in modern society is the battle over truth. The world preaches relativism—"your truth is your truth"—yet this leads to confusion and moral decay. The Bible, however, provides an unchanging standard. Jesus declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). This claim affirms objective truth and establishes that truth is found in a person—Jesus Christ. When we navigate life through the wisdom of the Bible, we are not left to the whims of popular opinion. Instead, we are anchored in eternal principles. God’s Word defines right and wrong, illuminates the path to salvation, and offers guidance for every area of life (Psalm 119:105). **Finding Purpose and Identity** Modern culture pushes the idea that we must create our own purpose and define our own identity. However, this pursuit often leads to emptiness. The Bible tells us that we are not random accidents but intentionally created by God in His image (Genesis 1:27). Our purpose is not self-made but God-given: to glorify Him and enjoy a relationship with Him (Isaiah 43:7). Rather than seeking fulfillment in fleeting successes, personal achievements, or societal approval, the Bible calls us to find meaning in serving God and others. Ecclesiastes 12:13 sums it up: “Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind.” **Hope in the Midst of Suffering** Without the Bible, suffering can seem meaningless. Pain, loss, and hardship often raise questions about God’s goodness. However, Scripture reveals that suffering is not wasted. Romans 8:28 assures believers that “in all things God works for the good of those who love Him.” Trials refine our faith, draw us closer to God, and remind us that our true home is not in this broken world but in the eternal kingdom of God. Moreover, Jesus Himself suffered on our behalf, taking upon Himself the punishment for sin so that we might have eternal life (Isaiah 53:5). Because of His resurrection, we have the assurance of victory over sin and death. This hope transforms how we endure hardships, knowing that every trial has a purpose and that ultimate restoration is coming (Revelation 21:4). **A Call to Live Differently** Understanding the world through the lens of the Bible is not just about gaining knowledge—it’s about transformation. Romans 12:2 instructs us: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” When we see life through God’s truth, we are called to live in a way that reflects His character—loving our neighbors, standing firm in righteousness, and sharing the Gospel with those in darkness. The world will continue to shift, and confusion will persist for those seeking answers outside God’s Word. But for those who turn to the Bible, there is clarity, purpose, and unshakable hope. By aligning our lives with God’s truth, we can make sense of this world and confidently walk the path He has laid before us.

Data source: https://stats.nostr.band/ NIPs --- **[nip99 e-commerce use case extension](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1784)** nostr:npub1gmmrkec8een5jelrxq5rz260nqzpnj45yzznpaerqv0yma3s86gqpfe2h0 is proposing nip99 e-commerce use case extension. This pull request simply adds a link to the specification we are developing and have consensus on, allowing other developers who want to implement NIP-99 for e-commerce to discover how the major developers are approaching it. In this way, we ensure that NIP-99 remains lightweight and allows for broad use cases while also providing guidance for the e-commerce use case that is currently prevalent. **[add "global" relay lists](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1786)** nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 is proposing "global" relay lists that streamlines the b/c process by standardizing it across multiple apps and also by allowing these lists to be shared, so when the relays that were hardcoded (and that were, at the time of the hardcoding, known to be such public squares) get shut down then clients can automatically or manually switch to new ones. **[[NIP 53 Addendum] - Add Interactive Rooms, Meetings, and Live Presence.](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1789)** nostr:npub18pudjhdhhp2v8gxnkttt00um729nv93tuepjda2jrwn3eua5tf5s80a699 is proposing that add Interactive Rooms and Meetings, and Live presence to NIP-53. Kind 30312 (Interactive Rooms), Kind 30313 (Meetings), Kind 10312 (Room Presence). These Kinds would apply to interactive audio/video platforms such as Hivetalk version 2.0 (not public yet) and Nostr Nests. **[NIP-5E: Censorship Resistant Live Streams](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1790)** [v0l](https://github.com/v0l) is proposing a way to distribute live video streams via Nostr. "Live Video" in this context implies segmented video streams like HLS or DASH. Each segment of the stream is a NIP-94 event which describes where the file can be found and its hash. **[Add birth field to NIP-24 for birth date representation](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1793)** nostr:npub12egp0pvh2f0fp6sk5nt6ncehqzkz8zsma8dl8agf8p3f98v6resqku4w26 is proposing a PR that introduces the birth field to NIP-24, allowing users to specify their birth date. The goal is to enable applications to celebrate users' birthdays and allow other users to notice and join in the celebration, enhancing social interactions.Defined the format as [day, month, year (optional)]. The year is optional to accommodate users who prefer not to disclose their age. **[NIP-05: add dynamic server recommendation](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1794)** nostr:npub1q3sle0kvfsehgsuexttt3ugjd8xdklxfwwkh559wxckmzddywnws6cd26p is proposing NIP-05 services who let people sign up for a NIP-05 name are recommended to make the names unique case insensitive. **[Add delegation to nip 46](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1795)** [Staab](https://github.com/staab) is proposing PR that adds a delegation command to NIP 46, which allows applications that are already authorized to create new sessions with limited permissions. My use case for this is sharing a read-only session with push- or email- notification servers, which can only sign kind 22242 events on behalf of the user, in order to get access to auth-gated relays. **[Add notifiers nip](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1796)** [Staab](https://github.com/staab) updates NIP: XXX - Push Notifiation with the following differences: It uses parameterized replaceable events, which allows for multiple subscriptions to exist at the same time；It uses NIP 44 encryption rather than NIP 04；It uses filters rather than ad-hoc targets；It uses delegated authentication in order to gain access to gated relays；It uses a different mechanism for pausing notifications and auto-expiring pauses. **[NIP-22: Format should follow scope](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1797)** nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z is proposing This adds some flexibility in formatting styles for NIP-22. Since this NIP is always used inside a scope (another NIP), formatting rules SHOULD be defined by that NIP. Examples: If the Comment is replying to a markdown-based NIP, it should allow markdown. If the Comment is replying to an asciidoc-based NIP, it should allow asciidoc. **[NIP-34!: use NIP-22 thread style for patch and status events](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1799)** nostr:npub15qydau2hjma6ngxkl2cyar74wzyjshvl65za5k5rl69264ar2exs5cyejr created this as part of reviewing #1744. For the status event, references to merged patch events are done using the q tag even though the they are not included in content. This is because NIP-22 only supports the use of e reference for the parent event id. **[NIP90: Add Ping/Pong to DVMs](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1808)** [believethehype](https://github.com/believethehype) introduces kind 7007 (ping) to send a small request to a dvm to check if it is alive. The DVM replies with a kind 7000 feedback event and status pong, and optional information in content. This allows clients to test if a dvm is alive without sending an actual job request to the dvm.

Attempts to artificially inflate demand for Bitcoin—whether through ordinals for 'crypto' people, ETFs for institutional investors, or Bitcoin Strategic Reserves (BSR) for states—for purposes other than self-sovereign savings and payments, will almost always backfire. The reasons you use to onboard people to Bitcoin can often be the same reasons they eventually decide to leave. While it's true that this process can lead to incremental improvements in user education, it also subjects actual Bitcoin users to considerable volatility, a defining characteristic of the Bitcoin user journey. Simply put, all pro-Bitcoin narratives appear strong when prices are rising and weak when they are falling. So, **what do the Bitcoin users actually know** better than tourists that enable them to outlast the madness of the crowds? https://media.tenor.com/QHPiPY42oR0AAAAC/benbvolliefde-b%26bvolliefde.gif Unlike tourists, Bitcoin users **know** that bitcoin itself is not volatile; rather, it's the valuation expressed in fiat currency that experiences volatility. They **know** that Bitcoin is not something to be blindly trusted but something to be verified. They **know** that nothing out there beats running and using your own node. They **know** that their self-custody setup is solid. They **know** that Lightning works, offering incredible UX advancement in web payments. Additionally, they **know** how Nostr empowers exploration of new frontiers on the web, revealing traditional tech infrastructures for what they truly are. And there is so much more. Yet most importantly, **Bitcoin users know they ARE IN CHARGE** of creating a new world. Individual agency has been reclaimed, and it matters greatly. Anyone who is aware of this shift will embrace it wholeheartedly and will be reluctant to relinquish it, if ever. Bitcoin is not a quest of telling what people should value; it's a journey of **discovering the value of time well spent**—a life worth living. https://i.nostr.build/0TdM9A3rzm6BSElE.png

## The Key Pair What a Nostr key pair has by default: * A unique ID * A name * A description * An ability to sign stuff ## The Relay What a Nostr relay has (or should have) by default: * Permissions, Moderation, AUTH, ... * Pricing & other costs to make the above work (cost per content type, subscriptions, xx publications per xx timeframe, ...) * List of accepted content types * (to add) Guidelines ## The Community Since I need Communities to have all the above mentioned properties too, the simplest solution seems to be to just combine them. And when you already have a key pair and a relay, you just need the third basic Nostr building block to bring them together... ## The Event To create a #communikey, a key pair (The Profile) needs to sign a (kind 30XXX) event that lays out the Community's : 1. Main relay + backup relays 2. Main blossom server + backup servers 3. (optional) Roles for specific npubs (admin, CEO, dictator, customer service, design lead, ...) 4. (optional) Community mint 5. (optional) "Welcome" Publication that serves as an introduction to the community This way: * **any existing npub** can become a Community * Communities are not tied to one relay and have a truly unique ID * Things are waaaaaay easier for relay operators/services to be compatible (relative to existing community proposals) * Running one relay per community works an order of magnitude better, but isn't a requirement ## The Publishers What the Community enjoyers need to chat in one specific #communikey : * Tag the npub in the (kind 9) chat message What they needs to publish anything else in one or multiple #communikeys : * Publish a (kind 32222 - Targeted publication) event that lists the npubs of the targeted Communities * If the event is found on the main relay = The event is accepted This way: * **any existing publication** can be targeted at a Community * Communities can #interop on content and bring their members together in reply sections, etc... * Your publication isn't tied **forever** to a specific relay ## Ncommunity If nprofile = npub + relay hints, for profiles Then ncommunity = npub + relay hints, for communities

In today’s fast-evolving workplaces, effective leadership hinges on more than just authority or charisma. You must unlock the potential of your team. Enter andragogy, a framework for adult learning that can transform how leaders inspire, engage, and empower their people. Initially developed by educator Malcolm Knowles in the 1960s, andragogy shifts the focus from traditional, top-down teaching to a model tailored to the unique needs of adult learners. For leaders, mastering this approach is a superpower that leverages the experience and problem-solving capacity of their teams to drive real results. So, what is andragogy? Unlike pedagogy, which focuses on teaching children through structured, teacher-led methods, andragogy recognizes that adults learn differently. Knowles identified key principles that define this model: adults are self-directed, bring a wealth of experience to the table, are motivated by relevance, prefer problem-centered learning, and thrive when they understand the “why” behind what they’re doing. For leaders, these principles aren’t abstract theories. They’re actionable tools you can leverage to build stronger, more capable teams. The beauty of andragogy lies in its respect for what adults already know. Think about your team: they’re not blank slates waiting for instructions. They’ve got years of experience, insights from past roles, and skills honed through trial and error. Too often, leaders fall into the trap of micromanaging or delivering one-size-fits-all approach that ignores this depth. Andragogy flips the script. Adult learning theory reminds us to tap into that reservoir of expertise and channel it toward solving the real-world challenges our organizations face. Imagine you’re leading a team tasked with improving customer retention. A traditional approach might involve sending out a manual or dictating a step-by-step process. An andragogical approach, however, starts by asking: What do you already know about keeping customers happy? You might facilitate a discussion where team members share stories. Maybe a sales rep recalls a tactic that won back a frustrated client, or a support agent highlights a pattern they’ve noticed in feedback. Suddenly, you’re not just giving orders; you’re curating a collective problem-solving session that respects their expertise and builds buy-in. The result? Solutions grounded in real experience. This approach also aligns with adults’ preference for relevance and practicality. Knowles emphasized that adults learn best when they see immediate value in what they’re doing. As a leader, you can harness this by tying learning to tangible outcomes. Let’s say your team needs to adopt a new software tool. Instead of a generic training session, frame it around a specific problem, like streamlining a workflow that’s been eating up hours. Give them space to experiment with the tool, share what works, and tweak it based on their insights. They’re not just learning; they’re solving something that matters to them, which fuels motivation and ownership. Andragogy’s problem-centered focus is another leadership goldmine. Adults don’t want to memorize facts for the sake of it; they want to tackle issues they’re facing right now. This is where you, as a leader, can shine. By positioning yourself as a facilitator rather than a dictator, you create an environment where your team attacks real challenges collaboratively. Take a stalled project, for instance. Instead of prescribing a fix, gather your team and ask: What’s blocking us, and what have we seen work elsewhere? Let them draw on their past wins and failures to craft a solution. You’re not just solving the problem. You’re building a team that’s confident in its ability to adapt. Ready for a quick win to test this out? Here’s one you can try tomorrow: The Experience Share. Next time you’re in a team meeting, pick a current challenge like a deadline crunch or a client complaint. Allocate 15 minutes for everyone to share one relevant experience they’ve had that could inform the solution. Maybe someone’s navigated a similar deadline before, or another dealt with a picky client. Jot down the ideas, then guide the group to pick one or two to act on. It’s fast, leverages their know-how, and shows you value their input. Watch engagement and results tick up. The andragogy edge isn’t about reinventing leadership; it’s about amplifying what’s already there. By treating your team as capable, self-directed learners with valuable experience, you unlock a level of collaboration and innovation that top-down methods can’t touch. In a world where adaptability is king, this isn’t just a theory. It’s your secret weapon. So, step back, tap into your team’s wisdom, and watch them rise to the occasion. Leadership doesn’t get more super than that.

Las motivaciones para configurar un segundo router pueden ser: * Como repetidor wifi en una zona apartada de la casa donde no llega de habitual. * Configurar el segundo router con VPN (probándolo, la configuración en el principal funciona pero aplicándola en un segundo router conectado al principal no usa la VPN, intentaré resolverlo). * Usar el segundo para experimentación. * Si se te ocurren más motivos coméntalos. Para empezar, debes desactivar sus funciones de router (como DHCP y NAT) y configurarlo para que simplemente extienda la red de tu router principal. Aquí te explico cómo hacerlo paso a paso: **1. Conectar los Routers Físicamente** * Conecta un cable Ethernet desde un puerto LAN del router principal a un puerto LAN del router OpenWrt. * No uses el puerto WAN del router OpenWrt, ya que no lo necesitarás en esta configuración. **2. Acceder al Router OpenWrt** * Conéctate al router OpenWrt mediante SSH o accede a la interfaz web (LuCI). En mi caso lo intenté por interfaz gráfica y no lo conseguí, así que continúo explicando solo mediante SSH. **3. Desactivar la Interfaz WAN** * Como no usarás la interfaz WAN, puedes desactivarla. * Edita el archivo /etc/config/network: ``` vi /etc/config/network ``` * Comenta o elimina la sección de la interfaz WAN, comentar es añadir un # delante. Por ejemplo: ``` # config interface 'wan' # option proto 'dhcp' # option ifname 'eth1' ``` * Pulsa ESC para asegurar el modo escritura y después para guardar y salir `:wq` + intro. **4. Configurar la Interfaz LAN** * Configura la interfaz LAN para que obtenga una dirección IP del router principal. * Edita el archivo ```/etc/config/network``` y modifica la sección de la interfaz LAN: ``` config interface 'lan' option proto 'static' option ifname 'br-lan' option ipaddr '192.168.1.2' # Dirección IP dentro del rango del router principal option netmask '255.255.255.0' option gateway '192.168.1.1' # IP del router principal option dns '1.1.1.1' # Servidores DNS ``` * Pulsa ESC para asegurar el modo escritura y después para guardar y salir `:wq` + intro. Asegúrate de que: * ```ipaddr``` sea una dirección IP dentro del rango del router principal (por ejemplo, si el router principal usa `192.168.1.x`, elige una IP como `192.168.1.2`). * `gateway` sea la IP del router principal (por ejemplo, `192.168.1.1`). * `dns` sean servidores DNS válidos. **5. Desactivar el Servidor DHCP en OpenWrt** * Como el router principal ya proporciona direcciones IP, debes desactivar el servidor DHCP en OpenWrt. * Edita el archivo /etc/config/dhcp: ``` vi /etc/config/dhcp ``` * Desactiva el servidor DHCP en la sección lan: * Con añadir al final "option ignore '1'" basta. No borres el resto de la sección. ``` config dhcp 'lan' option interface 'lan' option ignore '1' # Desactiva el servidor DHCP ``` * Pulsa ESC para asegurar el modo escritura y después para guardar y salir `:wq` + intro. **6. Configurar el Firewall** Como el router OpenWrt actuará como un AP, no necesita funciones de firewall. * Edita el archivo /etc/config/firewall y desactiva las reglas de firewall: ``` config zone option name 'lan' option input 'ACCEPT' option output 'ACCEPT' option forward 'ACCEPT' option network 'lan' ``` * Pulsa ESC para asegurar el modo escritura y después para guardar y salir `:wq` + intro. **7. Reiniciar el Router OpenWrt** Después de realizar los cambios, reinicia el router OpenWrt para aplicar la configuración: ``` reboot ``` **8. Probar la Configuración** Conecta un dispositivo a la red LAN o Wi-Fi del router OpenWrt y verifica si tiene acceso a Internet. * Prueba la conectividad con: ``` ping 8.8.8.8 ``` Espero que sirva de ayuda. Si tienes cualquier problema descríbemelo para aprender juntos.
