*Im Augenblick wird mit größter Intensität, großer Umsicht* *\
das deutsche Volk belogen.* *\
Olaf Scholz im FAZ-[Interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3KI1GmdoVc\&t=649s)*  
**Online-Wahlen stärken die Demokratie, sind sicher, und 61 Prozent der Wahlberechtigten** sprechen sich für deren Einführung in Deutschland aus. Das zumindest behauptet eine aktuelle Umfrage, die auch über die Agentur *Reuters* Verbreitung in den Medien [gefunden](https://archive.is/dnZbY) hat. Demnach würden außerdem 45 Prozent der Nichtwähler bei der Bundestagswahl ihre Stimme abgeben, wenn sie dies zum Beispiel von Ihrem PC, Tablet oder Smartphone aus machen könnten.
**Die telefonische Umfrage unter gut 1000 wahlberechtigten Personen** sei repräsentativ, [behauptet](https://www.bitkom.org/Presse/Presseinformation/Knapp-Haelfte-Nichtwaehler-wuerde-online-waehlen) der Auftraggeber – der Digitalverband Bitkom. Dieser präsentiert sich als eingetragener Verein mit einer beeindruckenden Liste von [Mitgliedern](https://www.bitkom.org/Bitkom/Mitgliedschaft/Mitgliederliste), die Software und IT-Dienstleistungen anbieten. Erklärtes Vereinsziel ist es, «Deutschland zu einem führenden Digitalstandort zu machen und die digitale Transformation der deutschen Wirtschaft und Verwaltung voranzutreiben».
**Durchgeführt hat die Befragung die Bitkom Servicegesellschaft mbH,** also alles in der Familie. Die gleiche Erhebung hatte der Verband übrigens 2021 schon einmal durchgeführt. Damals sprachen sich angeblich sogar 63 Prozent für ein derartiges [«Demokratie-Update»](https://www.experten.de/id/4922407/online-wahlen-als-update-des-demokratischen-systems/) aus – die Tendenz ist demgemäß fallend. Dennoch orakelt mancher, der Gang zur Wahlurne gelte bereits als veraltet.
**Die spanische Privat-Uni mit Globalisten-Touch, IE University, berichtete** Ende letzten Jahres in ihrer Studie «European Tech Insights», 67 Prozent der Europäer [befürchteten](https://www.ie.edu/university/news-events/news/67-europeans-fear-ai-manipulation-elections-according-ie-university-research/), dass Hacker Wahlergebnisse verfälschen könnten. Mehr als 30 Prozent der Befragten glaubten, dass künstliche Intelligenz (KI) bereits Wahlentscheidungen beeinflusst habe. Trotzdem würden angeblich 34 Prozent der unter 35-Jährigen einer KI-gesteuerten App vertrauen, um in ihrem Namen für politische Kandidaten zu stimmen.
**Wie dauerhaft wird wohl das Ergebnis der kommenden Bundestagswahl sein?** Diese Frage stellt sich angesichts der aktuellen Entwicklung der Migrations-Debatte und der (vorübergehend) bröckelnden «Brandmauer» gegen die AfD. Das «Zustrombegrenzungsgesetz» der Union hat das Parlament heute Nachmittag überraschenderweise [abgelehnt](https://www.bundestag.de/dokumente/textarchiv/2025/kw05-de-zustrombegrenzungsgesetz-1042038). Dennoch muss man wohl kein ausgesprochener Pessimist sein, um zu befürchten, dass die Entscheidungen der Bürger von den selbsternannten Verteidigern der Demokratie künftig vielleicht nicht respektiert werden, weil sie nicht gefallen.
**Bundesweit wird jetzt zu «Brandmauer-Demos» aufgerufen,** die CDU gerät unter Druck und es wird von Übergriffen auf Parteibüros und Drohungen gegen Mitarbeiter [berichtet](https://www.epochtimes.de/politik/deutschland/brandmauer-proteste-cdu-zentrale-geraeumt-kundgebungen-in-46-staedten-a5023745.html). Sicherheitsbehörden warnen vor Eskalationen, die Polizei sei «für ein mögliches erhöhtes Aufkommen von Straftaten gegenüber Politikern und gegen Parteigebäude sensibilisiert».
**Der Vorwand** **[«unzulässiger Einflussnahme»](https://transition-news.org/die-minister-faeser-und-wissing-sorgen-sich-um-unzulassige-einflussnahme-auf)** **auf Politik und Wahlen** wird als Argument schon seit einiger Zeit aufgebaut. Der Manipulation schuldig befunden wird neben Putin und Trump auch Elon Musk, was lustigerweise ausgerechnet Bill Gates gerade noch einmal bekräftigt und als [«völlig irre»](https://transition-news.org/bill-gates-nennt-musks-einmischung-in-eu-politik-vollig-irre) bezeichnet hat. Man stelle sich die Diskussionen um die Gültigkeit von Wahlergebnissen vor, wenn es Online-Verfahren zur Stimmabgabe gäbe. In der Schweiz wird [«E-Voting»](https://www.ch.ch/de/abstimmungen-und-wahlen/e-voting/) seit einigen Jahren getestet, aber wohl bisher mit wenig Erfolg.
**Die politische Brandstiftung der letzten Jahre zahlt sich immer mehr aus.** Anstatt dringende Probleme der Menschen zu lösen – zu denen auch in Deutschland die [weit verbreitete Armut](https://transition-news.org/ein-funftel-der-bevolkerung-in-deutschland-ist-von-armut-oder-sozialer) zählt –, hat die Politik konsequent polarisiert und sich auf Ausgrenzung und Verhöhnung großer Teile der Bevölkerung konzentriert. Basierend auf Ideologie und Lügen werden abweichende Stimmen unterdrückt und kriminalisiert, nicht nur und nicht erst in diesem Augenblick. Die nächsten Wochen dürften ausgesprochen spannend werden.

BYD Cars Philippines and ACMobility, the Philippine distributor of BYD vehicles, have pledged to donate $100 to Super Typhoon Carina's victims for every BYD Sealion 6 DM-i sold from July 25, 2024 until December 31, 2024.
This campaign is part of both companies' broader efforts to the affected communities and reflects their dedication to social responsibility. In fact, ACMobility was one of the first to mobilize disaster response efforts by distributing relief goods to over 100 families in Dela Paz, Pasig City, on July 26. Employees and volunteers from ACMobility, BYD Cars Philippines, and its affiliate agencies participated in the cause.
“On behalf of BYD, I would like to express my sympathy to the people affected by Typhoon Carina. We, together with ACMobility, wish to extend BYD's support to Filipinos who suffered from this unfortunate disaster,” said BYD Asia Pacific Auto Sales Division General Manager Liu Xueliang.
The [BYD Sealion 6 DM-i](https://bydcarsphilippines.com/vehicles/byd-sealion6-dmi) is an all-electric compact SUV that runs on BYD's proprietary Super DM-i Technology—generating power well beyond the typical electric vehicle. It generates 217 horsepower and 325 Newton meters of torque, enabling it to go from zero to a hundred in just over eight seconds.
Furthermore, the vehicle runs on Blade Battery, allowing it to drive up to 105 kilometers in Pure EV Mode and 1,100 km in Extended Range Mode. It empowers drivers to travel without range anxiety. Attendees of ACMobility and BYD Cars Philippines' relief drive even used the Sealion 6 DM-i's Blade Battery to charge devices on-site.
The Sealion 6 DM-i starts at ₱1,548,000. With every unit sold, BYD and ACMotors donate $100 to Typhoon Carina's victims until the end of 2024.
"Guided by our company value of malasakit, we remain committed to going above and beyond in serving our communities during these trying times," BYD Cars Philippines Managing Director Bob Palanca shared.
Super Typhoon Carina—internationally known as Gaemi—brought widespread devastation across the Philippines. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) stated that Carina, on top of the southwest monsoon, affected over 1.3 million Filipinos.

Penis size is a topic that many people feel curious or insecure about. It’s important to approach this subject with an understanding of the wide range of normal sizes and the various options available for those who may be interested in enlargement procedures. For some, the use of sex toys or dildos may be a practical solution to enhance sexual experiences, while others may look into enlargement procedures. Here’s a brief overview of what you should know about average penis size and the options available for enlargement.
## What is the Average Penis Size?
Studies consistently show that the average erect penis size is around 5 to 6 inches in length, and the average flaccid size is about 3 to 4 inches. It’s crucial to recognize that penis size varies among individuals, and there is a broad spectrum of what is considered normal. Factors like body type, genetics, and age can all influence size. Most men’s sizes fall within this range, and concerns about size often arise from misconceptions rather than actual medical issues.
## Penis Enlargment as an Alternative
For those interested in [penis enlargement](https://pinkbunny.ph/blog/penis-enlargement-in-the-philippines-should-you-do-it/), there are a few options available. These include surgical procedures, non-surgical devices, and sometimes even the use of [sex toys](https://pinkbunny.ph/) to create a fuller feeling or enhance size temporarily. Here’s a closer look at the most common methods:
### Surgical Procedures
One of the most well-known surgical options is penile lengthening surgery, where a surgeon cuts the suspensory ligament that supports the penis, allowing it to hang lower. While the procedure can result in a modest increase in length, it carries risks such as infection, scarring, and potential issues with erectile function. Always consult with a qualified healthcare provider before considering surgery.
### Non-Surgical Options
Devices like penis pumps or penile traction devices are often used to temporarily increase size. A penis pump creates a vacuum that draws blood into the penis, temporarily making it appear larger. Traction devices apply gentle pressure to the penis over time, which can result in gradual lengthening. Both of these methods can offer temporary improvements, but they require consistent use and do not guarantee long-lasting results.
### Sex Toys and Dildos
For those looking for a more immediate solution, dildos and other sex toys can offer a way to enhance sexual pleasure without altering physical size. These toys come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and materials, allowing individuals and couples to explore different sensations. Find a [dildo for sale](https://pinkbunny.ph/product-category/sex-toys/dildos/) that can provide added size during intercourse, and using sex toys can also help individuals become more comfortable with their bodies, leading to better self-esteem and sexual confidence.
### Penis Enlargement Pills or Supplements
Many products on the market claim to increase penis size, but the effectiveness of these pills is largely unproven. Medical experts often caution against using such supplements, as they can have unwanted side effects and are not regulated.

Since the addition of cowboy credits on SN some have talked about how this is a mistake. CoinOS just [announced an attack](https://stacker.news/items/870821) that exposed users accounts to compromise. I think the argument is to use cowboy credits on SN instead of these custodial wallets like Minibits or CoinOS because of the frequency of small transactions. That indeed is no doubt putting stress on these services. But, is this a reason to not use them.
I would actually like to hear from the devs on this one. I am using both of these services mostly to give them feedback, help they work out issues, and use the tools. I also use sovereign wallets and my own nodes. Is my use of these hosted NWC providers hurting these apps and their devs. My gut says no. My gut and experience tells me that there are certain issues an app/service is not aware of until actual real usage pressure is applied. Now, if too much pressure is applied to soon that can be very disruptive to the devs and their project.
Would love to hear from devs both working on Minibits and CoinOS on this but also any devs that do relevant work. I've worked in the field of hosted apps and web sites from over twenty years now. Scaling is not easy or cheap. IMO the Lightning network and eCash need to be stress tested. Not saying this as a slight but if the users of SN can take down a service it has a long way to go before bitcoin adoption even approaches 5%.
What am I missing? I'm sure I'm missing some things.

To stay competitive, many companies are outsourcing key administrative and management functions in manufacturing. This approach helps businesses better manage deliverables, reduce costs, utilize advanced technology, and navigate changing labor dynamics.
## What is Outsource Manufacturing?
[Outsourcing manufacturing](https://optibpo.com/blog/a-guide-to-outsource-manufacturing/) involves delegating not only production but also important administrative and management tasks to external providers, rather than handling everything in-house. These tasks often include non-core activities such as supply chain management, procurement, quality assurance, and compliance.
By partnering with specialized manufacturers, often in regions with lower labor and operational costs, companies can take advantage of their expertise and efficiency. The process typically begins with selecting a trusted manufacturer, negotiating contracts, and overseeing production to ensure quality and timely delivery.
## 5 Types of Outsource Manufacturing Services
Outsourcing specific tasks can streamline your operations and reduce costs. Here’s an overview of the key outsourcing services for manufacturing:
### Contract Management
Managing contracts with manufacturers and suppliers can be complex and time-consuming. By outsourcing this function, you allow experts to handle negotiations, oversee agreements, and ensure smooth operations, reducing legal risks and freeing you to focus on other vital business areas.
### Supplier Management
Supplier management includes finding and vetting suppliers based on quality, pricing, and reliability. By building a dedicated team through optiBPO in the Philippines, you can streamline this process. The team will handle negotiations and ensure that suppliers meet your standards, giving you full control without the administrative burden.
### Logistics Coordination
From transportation to warehousing, logistics coordination involves many moving parts. Outsourcing this function to a skilled team, like one from optiBPO, allows you to optimize the logistics process, choosing the best transportation methods and balancing cost, speed, and reliability. This ensures efficient and timely product deliveries.
### Quality Assurance Coordination
Consistently maintaining high product quality is essential for customer satisfaction and brand reputation. Outsourcing quality assurance lets a team of professionals handle inspections, compliance checks, and data analysis to reduce defects, enhance product reliability, and maintain high standards.
### Inventory Management
Managing inventory levels, ordering, and stock maintenance can be overwhelming. By outsourcing these administrative tasks, your external team can monitor inventory, forecast demand, and coordinate with suppliers to ensure stock is always replenished on time. Services from optiBPO can streamline this process and keep operations running smoothly.
## In Conclusion
By outsourcing these crucial functions, your business can gain access to expertise, improve efficiency, and reduce costs—ultimately allowing you to focus on what matters most: growing your business.

1:1 The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham:
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers.
3 Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez was the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram.
4 Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon.
5 Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse.
6 Jesse was the father of David the king.
David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah.
7 Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa.
8 Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah.
9 Uzziah was the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah.
10 Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, and Amon the father of Josiah.
11 Josiah became the father of Jeconiah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.
12 After the deportation to Babylon: Jeconiah became the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel.
13 Zerubbabel was the father of Abihud, Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor.
14 Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud.
15 Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob.
16 Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen generations.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly.
20 But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
22 Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet:
23 “BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL,” which translated means, “GOD WITH US.”
24 And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife,
25 but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.**1:1** The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham:\
**2** Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers.\
3 Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez was the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram.\

5 Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse.\
6 Jesse was the father of David the king.\
David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah.\
7 Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa.\
8 Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah.\
9 Uzziah was the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah.\
10 Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, and Amon the father of Josiah.\
11 Josiah became the father of Jeconiah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.\
**12** After the deportation to Babylon: Jeconiah became the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel.\
13 Zerubbabel was the father of Abihud, Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor.\
14 Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud.\
15 Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob.\
16 Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah.\
**17** So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen generations.\
**18** Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.\
19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly.\
20 But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.\
21 She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”\
22 Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet:\
23 “BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL,” which translated means, “GOD WITH US.”\
24 And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took *Mary* as his wife,\
25 but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.

Here are today's picks using my proprietary betting strategy at [Freebitcoin](https://freebitco.in/?r=51325722). For details about what Risk Balanced Odds Arbitrage is and why it works see https://stacker.news/items/342765/r/Undisciplined.
For a hypothetical 1k-ish wager on each match, distribute your sats as follows:
| Outcome 1 | Outcome 2 | Outcome 3 | Bet 1 | Bet 2 | Bet 3 |
|--------------|-------------|--------------|-------|-------|-------|
| Napoli| Udinese| Draw | 688| 125| 222|
| Inter Milan| Fiorentina| Draw | 667| 133| 217|
| Empoli| AC Milan| Draw | 200| 571| 250|
| Como| Juventus| Draw | 279| 464| 286|
| Sevilla| Barcelona| Draw | 174| 630| 222|
| Real Sociedad| Espanyol| Draw | 660| 133| 238|
| Real Madrid| Atletico Madrid| Draw | 565| 211| 263|
| RB Leipzig| FC St Pauli| Draw | 652| 154| 217|
| FC Bayern| Werder| Draw | 875| 53| 100|
| Dortmund| VfB Stuttgart| Draw | 458| 313| 263|
| Man City| Newcastle| Draw | 588| 213| 222|
| Leicester| Arsenal| Draw | 100| 750| 167|
| Everton| Liverpool| Draw | 125| 688| 200|
| Brighton| Chelsea| Draw | 323| 421| 267|
Overall, I'm holding steady at about a 2.5% return with this approach.
I still haven't precisely identified where the threshold is, but it might be worth skipping any of these with a "time weight multiplier" lower than 90.
----------
A note of caution about Freebitcoin: they recorded the wrong outcome for last week's Bills vs Ravens game and as of yet have not corrected it. I recall one other instance of something similar happening, so proceed with caution.
This RBOA strategy is largely immune from that problem, but be aware of it when just betting on one outcome.

Having been on #Nostr for the past two weeks or so full time, I have been appreciating the protocol more and more.
I am still learning how it functions and how it all comes together. I am willing to learn more about it the ins and outs of it.
I just wanted to shout all the hardworking DEVS and their Apps, Clients and desktop clients. Keep up the amazing work and keep up the amazing engagement.

## Der neue Pareto-Client
Unter der Adresse <https://pareto.space/read> lässt sich der neue Pareto-Client aufrufen.
Durch Klicken auf **Anmelden** (rechts oben) kann mit einem vorhandenen Nostr-Konto angemeldet werden oder ein neues Konto erstellt werden.
Sofern schon ein Nostr-Konto vorhanden ist, kann nach Klick auf **Log in** einfach z. B. mittels Browser Extension angemeldet werden.
Nach dem Anmelden wird das Profilbild rechts oben angezeigt und ggf. eine Kategorie mit den Artikeln der Autoren, denen man folgt.
Nach Umschalten vom Leser- in den Autoren-Modus (Schalter oben, rechts neben Logo) werden die bereits veröffentlichten Artikel angezeigt.
Sollte der Schalter nicht angezeigt werden, bitte bei uns mit dem npub melden, damit wir ihn in die Liste der Pareto-Autoren aufnehmen können.
Eine zweite Kategorie zeigt die bestehenden Entwürfe.
Unter dem Punkt Bilder links lassen sich Bilder hochladen, die in Artikeln verwendet werden sollen.
Sollte noch kein Medien-Server (Blossom oder NIP-96) konfiguriert sein, wird angeboten, den Standard-Server des Pareto-Projektes zu nutzen.
Nachdem der Server konfiguriert wird, werden alle hochgeladenen Bilder angezeigt.
Weitere Bilder lassen sich über den Knopf **Bilder hochladen** hinzufügen.
Nach Auswahl des Punktes **Schreiben** wird der leere Pareto-Editor angezeigt.
Neben dem Titel sollte auch die Zusammenfassung aufgefüllt werden, da diese beim Teilen des Artikels (Telegram, Social Media, ...) neben dem Titel und dem Bild des Artikels angezeigt werden.
Das Bild kann durch Klicken auf den grauen Rahmen rechts oben gewählt werden.
Nach Doppelklick auf das gewünschte Bild wird es rechts neben Titel und Zusammenfassung angezeigt.
Neue Elemente können im Text durch Klicken auf das Plus-Symbol hinzugefügt werden.
Neben Überschriften lassen sich so auch Zitate, Aufzählungen, Programm-Code, Tabellen und Bilder einfügen.
Nachdem ein Bild-Element eingefügt wurde, kann es entweder mit einem Link auf ein Bild bestückt werden oder - durch Klicken auf "Select file" ein bereits hochgeladenes auswählen.
Durch Klicken auf die kleine Sprechblase rechts oben in einem Bild lässt sich eine Bildunterschrift hinzufügen.
### Markdown
Neben dem Hinzufügen von Elementen über das Plus-Symbol kann natürlich auch direkt [Markdown-Auszeichnung](https://www.ionos.de/digitalguide/websites/web-entwicklung/markdown/) eingegeben werden.
Es gibt im Netz diverse Anleitungen für Markdown. Allerdings gibt es im Kontext von Nostr die Einschränkung, dass keine HTML-Elemente in Artikeln enthalten sein dürfen.
Durch Tippen eines Doppelkreuzes, gefolgt von einem Leerzeichen, lässt sich beispielsweise eine Überschrift einfügen
### Besonderheiten
Der Pareto-Client stellt Links unterschiedlich dar, je nachdem, ob sie innerhalb eines Absatzes oder allein erscheinen.
*Links innerhalb eines Absatzes* werden ganz regulär dargestellt als Link, auf den der Leser klicken kann.
*Alleinstehende Links* (also ohne Text davor oder dahinter) hingegen werden ggf. mit einer Vorschau versehen und nach einmaligem Klick wird der Inhalt eingebettet dargestellt.
Für Links zu **YouTube**, **Odysee**, **Rumble**, **SoundCloud**, **[theplattform.net](https://tube.theplattform.net/)**, und andere können die Inhalte direkt im Artikel konsumiert werden.
Auch alleinstehende Links zu Dateien mit den Endungen .mp4, .mov, .mkv, .avi, .m4v und .webm (Videos) sowie .mp3, .wav, ogg (Audio) und .pdf (PDF-Dokumente) werden eingebettet dargestellt.
> **Tipp:**
>
> Beim Schreiben längerer Artikel empfiehlt es sich, diese zwischendurch immer wieder als Entwurf zu speichern, um Datenverlust zu vermeiden.
Oberhalb des Knopfes zum Speichern von Entwürfen wird immer der aktuelle Status des Artikels angezeigt.
Schlüsselwörter werden einfach durch Komma getrennt. Es ist üblich, diese klein zu schreiben.
Nach dem Speichern wird der Knopf deaktiviert.
Der Entwurf sollte anschließend unter dem Punkt **Artikel** unter **Entwürfe** eingeblendet werden.
Ein Klick auf **Bearbeiten** bringt den Entwurf wieder in den Editor.
Nach Klicken von **Veröffentlichen** kann noch die Liste der Nostr-Relays ausgewählt werden, auf denen der Artikel veröffentlicht werden soll.
Nach dem Veröffentlichen sollte der Status das entspr. anzeigen.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

Mornings are good; they are better than evenings (except for sunset views).\
Your body is recharged.\
The mind should be more at ease.\
Worries should be fewer, and breakfast is the only meal that is "served all day."
Waking up early—very early—was normal (at least for me) a lifetime ago.\
You get more things done,\
it’s quiet and free of distractions.\
So why don’t we just wake up early anymore?
It would be easy to blame responsibilities and being tired for why we can't wake up earlier,\
but that’s an easy way out.\
I believe we stop trying to beat the sun when two things happen to us:\
We lose a ***big motivator*** (being competitive, learning something, getting more done, spiritual time, etc.).\
We fall for ***comfort*** and a life without the demands of growth.\
Each one follows the other, like a dog chasing its tail.
Today marks almost day 30 of waking up really early again. I am happier, healthier, more connected with God, learning new things every day, playing my guitar, and writing more.
Until the next one,
J

เมื่อชุมชนตั้งคำถามถึงการเป็นผู้นำ Ethereum Foundation
ช่วงนี้มีเสียงวิพากษ์วิจารณ์เกี่ยวกับการบริหารงานของ Ethereum Foundation (EF) มากขึ้น โดยเฉพาะเมื่อกลุ่มผู้ถือ Ether บางส่วนสนับสนุนให้ Danny Ryan ขึ้นเป็นผู้นำแทน Aya Miyaguchi ผู้อำนวยการบริหารคนปัจจุบัน การลงคะแนนเสียงแบบไม่เป็นทางการที่จัดโดย Fabrice Cheng ผู้ร่วมก่อตั้ง Quadrata พบว่ากว่า 99.98% ของผู้เข้าร่วมเห็นด้วยกับการเปลี่ยนแปลงครั้งนี้
แม้ว่าผลโหวตดังกล่าว ไม่มีผลทางกฎหมาย และไม่ได้เป็นส่วนหนึ่งของข้อเสนออย่างเป็นทางการของ EF แต่ก็ทำให้เกิดคำถามว่า Ethereum กำลังเผชิญปัญหาภายในหรือไม่? และ Vitalik Buterin จะยังคงนำโครงการต่อไปหรือเปล่า?
Vitalik กำลังถูกบีบให้ออก หรือเป็นเพียงเสียงสะท้อนจากชุมชน?
หลังจากกระแสเรียกร้องความเปลี่ยนแปลงเริ่มรุนแรงขึ้น Vitalik Buterin ได้ออกมายืนยันว่า เขายังคง เป็นผู้นำของเครือข่าย และการตัดสินใจสำคัญยังอยู่ในมือของเขา จนกว่าจะมีการจัดตั้งคณะกรรมการที่เหมาะสม พร้อมทั้งออกมาปกป้อง Aya Miyaguchi จากการถูกโจมตีในโลกออนไลน์
แม้ว่าเขาจะยังมีบทบาทสำคัญใน Ethereum แต่บางคนก็เริ่มตั้งข้อสงสัยว่า Vitalik อาจเริ่มหมดไฟกับ Ethereum แล้วหรือไม่? หรือเขากำลังเผชิญกับแรงกดดันจากทั้งภายในและภายนอก?
Vitalik จะขาย ETH และหันหลังให้ Ethereum หรือเปล่า?
แม้ว่า Ethereum Foundation กำลังอยู่ในช่วงของความขัดแย้ง แต่โอกาสที่ Vitalik จะลาออกจาก Ethereum นั้นยังคง ต่ำมาก ด้วยเหตุผลต่อไปนี้:
Ethereum เป็นเครือข่ายกระจายศูนย์ – แม้จะมีความขัดแย้งภายใน แต่โครงการไม่ได้ขึ้นอยู่กับตัวบุคคลเพียงคนเดียว
Vitalik ยังคงมีเป้าหมายสำคัญกับ Ethereum – เขายังคงผลักดัน Ethereum 2.0, Rollups, ZK-Proofs และ DeSci ซึ่งเป็นอนาคตของเครือข่าย
เขาไม่ได้เน้นเก็งกำไรจาก ETH – Vitalik เคยขาย ETH บางส่วนเพื่อระดมทุนพัฒนา Ethereum แต่ไม่เคยมีพฤติกรรมเทขายหนักจนทำให้ตลาดปั่นป่วน
Ethereum สามารถเดินหน้าต่อไปได้แม้ไม่มี Vitalik – คล้ายกับกรณีของ Apple ที่ยังแข็งแกร่งแม้ Steve Jobs ไม่อยู่แล้ว
ดังนั้น แม้ว่าเขาจะลดบทบาทของตัวเองลง แต่โอกาสที่เขาจะขาย ETH ทั้งหมดและตัดขาดจาก Ethereum อย่างสิ้นเชิงยังคงน้อยมาก
ถ้า Vitalik ออกจริง อะไรจะเกิดขึ้น?
หาก Vitalik ตัดสินใจออกจากโครงการ:
ETH อาจเผชิญแรงขายระยะสั้น เนื่องจากตลาดอาจเกิด FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt)
นักพัฒนาและชุมชน Ethereum จะต้องปรับตัว โดยอาจมีการตั้งคณะกรรมการใหม่มาดูแลโครงการแทน
ราคา ETH อาจลดลง 10-20% ในช่วงสั้น แต่ไม่ถึงกับล่มสลาย เนื่องจาก Ethereum มีเครือข่ายนักพัฒนาและระบบนิเวศที่แข็งแกร่ง
Ethereum ต้องการผู้นำ หรือชุมชนที่เข้มแข็ง?
แม้ว่าจะมีความขัดแย้งใน Ethereum Foundation แต่ Vitalik ยังคงมีบทบาทสำคัญและยังไม่ได้แสดงท่าทีว่าจะออกจากโครงการ ขณะที่ชุมชนบางส่วนต้องการเปลี่ยนแปลงโครงสร้างองค์กร
📌 โอกาสที่ Vitalik จะลาออกจาก Ethereum Foundation? → ต่ำ (~10-20%)📌 โอกาสที่เขาจะเทขาย ETH และหันหลังให้ Ethereum อย่างสิ้นเชิง? → ต่ำมาก (~5-10%)📌 โอกาสที่ Ethereum จะล่มสลายถ้า Vitalik ออก? → ต่ำ (~5%)
Ethereum อาจกำลังเผชิญความท้าทาย แต่โครงการนี้ยังคงแข็งแกร่ง และอาจต้องการ ชุมชนที่เข้มแข็งมากกว่าผู้นำเพียงคนเดียว 🚀
