Bitcoin (BTCUSDT) กำลังอยู่ในช่วงหัวเลี้ยวหัวต่อ แม้ว่าแนวโน้มหลักในระยะกลางถึงยาว (TF Day & 4H) จะยังคงเป็นขาขึ้นที่แข็งแกร่ง แต่ในระยะสั้นมาก (TF15) กลับแสดงสัญญาณของความอ่อนแอและการปรับฐานลงมาอย่างรวดเร็ว
แนวโน้ม:
* TF Day: ขาขึ้น (Uptrend) แข็งแกร่ง – ราคาอยู่เหนือ EMA 50 และ EMA 200, โครงสร้างราคาเป็น Higher Highs (HH) และ Higher Lows (HL) อย่างต่อเนื่อง
* TF4H: ขาขึ้น (Uptrend) ชัดเจน – ราคาอยู่เหนือ EMA, มีการพักตัวลงมา (Pullback) แต่ยังไม่เสียโครงสร้างขาขึ้น
* TF15: ขาลง (Downtrend) ระยะสั้นมาก – ราคาหลุด EMA และแนวรับย่อย, โครงสร้างราคาเริ่มเป็น Lower Highs (LH) และ Lower Lows (LL)
โครงสร้างราคา (SMC):
* TF Day: ยืนยันแนวโน้มขาขึ้น (HH, HL, BOS)
* TF4H: ยืนยันแนวโน้มขาขึ้น (HH, HL, BOS), มี Equal Highs (EQH) ที่เป็นแนวต้าน
* TF15: บ่งบอกถึงแนวโน้มขาลงระยะสั้น (BOS ด้านล่าง, LH, LL), มี EQH เป็นแนวต้าน
Money Flow (LuxAlgo):
* TF Day:
Money Flow: โดยรวมเป็นสีเขียว แสดงถึงแรงซื้อที่ยังคงมีอิทธิพลเหนือกว่า แต่ก็มีแท่งสีแดงแทรกบ้าง บ่งบอกถึงการขายทำกำไรในบางช่วง
* TF4H:
Money Flow: โดยรวมเป็นสีเขียว แต่เริ่มมีแท่งสีเขียวสั้นลง และมีแท่งสีแดงยาวขึ้น แสดงว่าแรงซื้อเริ่มอ่อนแรงลง และมีแรงขายเข้ามา
* TF15:
Money Flow: สีแดงมีอิทธิพลเหนือกว่าสีเขียวอย่างชัดเจน และแท่งสีแดงค่อนข้างยาว แสดงถึงแรงขายที่แข็งแกร่ง
EMA (Exponential Moving Average):
* TF Day & 4H: EMA 50 & 200 เป็นแนวรับสำคัญ
* TF15: EMA 50 & 200 กลายเป็นแนวต้าน หลังจากราคาหลุดลงมา
แนวรับ-แนวต้านสำคัญ:
| Timeframe | แนวรับ | แนวต้าน |
|---|---|---|
| Day | EMA 50, EMA 200, บริเวณ 96,000-98,000 (Volume Profile), 85,724.7 | 109,998.9 (High เดิม) |
| 4H | EMA 50, EMA 200, บริเวณ 96,000-98,000 (Volume Profile, Equilibrium), 89,037.0 | 109,998.9 (EQH, High เดิม) |
| 15m | 95,200 (Low ล่าสุด), 94,707.4 (Low ก่อนหน้า) | EMA 50, EMA 200, บริเวณ 96,000, 96,807.8, 97,000-97,200 |
กลยุทธ์ (BTCUSDT):
* Wait & See (ทางเลือกที่ดีที่สุดในตอนนี้):
* เนื่องจาก TF15 ขัดแย้งกับ TF Day & 4H อย่างชัดเจน การ "รอ" ให้ตลาดเฉลยทิศทางที่ชัดเจนกว่านี้ เป็นทางเลือกที่ปลอดภัยที่สุด
* สังเกตพฤติกรรมราคา (Price Action) บริเวณแนวรับ-แนวต้านใน TF15
* Buy on Dip (Day, 4H) - ต้องระมัดระวังอย่างสูง:
* สำหรับนักลงทุนระยะกลาง-ยาว ที่เชื่อมั่นในแนวโน้มขาขึ้น
* เงื่อนไข: ต้องรอสัญญาณการกลับตัวของราคาใน TF15 ก่อน เช่น
* การ Breakout แนวต้านย่อยๆ พร้อม Volume
* การเปลี่ยน Money Flow (LuxAlgo) เป็นสีเขียว (ถ้ามี)
* การเกิด Bullish Candlestick Patterns
* จุดเข้า: บริเวณ EMA 50/200 ของ TF Day หรือ 4H, หรือบริเวณแนวรับอื่นๆ ที่มีนัยสำคัญ
* Stop Loss: ต่ำกว่า Low ล่าสุดของ TF15 หรือต่ำกว่าแนวรับที่เข้าซื้อ
* Short (15, ความเสี่ยงสูงมาก):
* สำหรับนักเก็งกำไรระยะสั้น ที่รับความเสี่ยงได้สูง
* เงื่อนไข: ราคาไม่สามารถกลับขึ้นไปยืนเหนือ EMA ของ TF15 ได้
* จุดเข้า: บริเวณ EMA ของ TF15 หรือแนวต้านอื่นๆ
* Stop Loss: เหนือ High ล่าสุดของ TF15 หรือเหนือแนวต้านที่เข้า Short
คำแนะนำ:
* ความขัดแย้งของ Timeframes: การที่ TF15 ขัดแย้งกับ TF Day & 4H เป็นสิ่งที่ต้องระวังอย่างมาก
* Volume: การ Breakout หรือ Breakdown ใดๆ ควรมี Volume สนับสนุน เพื่อยืนยันความน่าเชื่อถือ
* Risk Management: สำคัญที่สุด ไม่ว่าจะเลือกกลยุทธ์ใด ต้องมีการบริหารความเสี่ยงที่ดี (ตั้ง Stop Loss, ไม่ Overtrade)
* ข่าวสาร: ติดตามข่าวสารที่อาจส่งผลกระทบต่อราคา Bitcoin
สรุป: สถานการณ์ของ BTCUSDT ตอนนี้ค่อนข้างซับซ้อนและมีความเสี่ยงสูง การ "รอ" อาจเป็นทางเลือกที่ดีที่สุดสำหรับนักลงทุนส่วนใหญ่ จนกว่าจะเห็นสัญญาณที่ชัดเจนมากขึ้นค่ะ

I think this note from Chip (nostr:npub1qdjn8j4gwgmkj3k5un775nq6q3q7mguv5tvajstmkdsqdja2havq03fqm7) is one of those things that people with business management experience take a lot more seriously than most developers and influencers do.
I am painfully aware of the cost of systems administration, financial transaction management and recordkeeping, recruiting and personnel management, legal and compliance, requirements management, technical support, renting and managing physical spaces and infrastructure, negotiating with suppliers, customer service, etc. etc.
There's this idea, on Nostr, that sort of trickled in along with Bitcoin Twitter, that we would all just be isolated subsistance farmers and one-man-show podcasters with a gigantic server rack in the basement. But some of us are running real companies -- on and off Nostr, for-profit and non-profit -- and it often requires a lot of human labor.
The things we build aren't meant to be used by one person and his girlfriend and his dog. Yes, he can also run all these things, himself, but he no longer has to. Our existence gives him the choice: run these things or pay us to run them and spend your time doing something else, that you do better than we do.
These things are meant to be used by hundreds... thousands... eventually millions of people. The workflows, processes, infrastructure, and personnel need to be able to scale up-and-down, scale in-and-out, work smoothly with 5 people or 50 people. These are the sort of Nostr systems that wouldn't collapse when encountering a sudden influx or mass-escape. But these systems are much more complex and they take time to build and staff to run them. (And, no, AI can't replace them all. AI means that they now also have to integrate a bunch of AI into the system and maintain that, too.)
GitCitadel (nostr:npub1s3ht77dq4zqnya8vjun5jp3p44pr794ru36d0ltxu65chljw8xjqd975wz) is very automation-forward, but we still have to front the incredibly high cost of designing and building the automation, train people to interact with it (there are now over 20 people integrated into the workflow!), adjust it based upon their feedback, and we have to support the automation, once it's running.
This sort of streamlined machine is what people pay companies for, not code. That is why there's little business cost to open source.
Open-source is great, but...

**คำแนะนำ (เน้นย้ำ):**
* **ความขัดแย้งของ Timeframes:** สถานการณ์ของ LUNCUSDT ตอนนี้มีความขัดแย้งกันสูงมากระหว่าง Timeframes และมีความเสี่ยงสูงกว่า XRP และ BTC
* **Money Flow:** Money Flow ใน TF15 เป็นลบ และใน TF4H ก็เริ่มไม่แน่นอน
* **LUNC เป็นเหรียญ High Risk:** มีความผันผวนสูงมาก และอาจมีการเปลี่ยนแปลงอย่างรวดเร็ว
* **ถ้าไม่แน่ใจ อย่าเพิ่งเข้าเทรด:** รอสัญญาณที่ชัดเจนกว่านี้ หรือเลือกเทรดเหรียญอื่นที่มีความเสี่ยงน้อยกว่า
* **Risk Management:** สำคัญที่สุด ไม่ว่าจะเลือกกลยุทธ์ใด ต้องมีการบริหารความเสี่ยงที่ดี (ตั้ง Stop Loss, ไม่ Overtrade, กระจายความเสี่ยง)
**สรุป:** LUNCUSDT กำลังอยู่ในช่วงเวลาที่ยากลำบากและมีความเสี่ยงสูงมาก การตัดสินใจที่ผิดพลาดอาจนำไปสู่การขาดทุนได้ ควรพิจารณาอย่างรอบคอบก่อนเข้าเทรดทุกครั้ง และ "รอ" อาจเป็นทางเลือกที่ดีที่สุดสำหรับนักลงทุนส่วนใหญ่ค่ะ

In the world of monetary systems, there exists a fundamental divide: Bitcoin, rooted in thermodynamic energy expenditure, and fiat, which is conjured into existence without cost. This contrast is not merely economic but thermodynamic and absolute, and it exposes why fiat cannot compete with Bitcoin in the long run.
Fiat is an illusion, a monetary system unbacked by real work, while Bitcoin is a pure manifestation of the first law of thermodynamics—an asset where value is directly tied to the energy required to produce it. The battle between fiat and Bitcoin is thus not just one of finance but one of physics, where only one system is bound by the immutable laws of energy conservation, entropy, and work.
1. The First Law of Thermodynamics: Fiat Violates Conservation of Energy
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
Bitcoin respects this law: Every single Bitcoin that exists was mined through proof-of-work, meaning that its existence required real-world energy expenditure. The hash power securing Bitcoin is derived from electricity converted into computational work, which is then permanently recorded on an immutable ledger.
Fiat violates this law: Central banks create fiat money out of nothing. There is no energy backing it, no transformation of work into value—only arbitrary decree (hence the term "fiat"). Governments increase the supply at will, diluting purchasing power without consuming energy.
By ignoring the fundamental rule of energy conservation, fiat is not a real asset—it is a transient system of control masquerading as money.
2. The Second Law of Thermodynamics: Fiat Is a High-Entropy System
The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy (disorder) in a system always increases unless energy is applied to maintain order.
Bitcoin is a low-entropy system: Its supply is mathematically fixed at 21 million coins, and mining difficulty adjusts dynamically, ensuring that equilibrium is maintained. No single actor can distort the system without expending equivalent energy. The network remains in a steady state of thermodynamic balance.
Fiat is a high-entropy system: Governments print money without work, inflating the supply and injecting systemic disorder into the economy. This inflation acts as monetary heat death, where the increasing supply dissipates value across holders while concentrating purchasing power in those who print it. Fiat money is in a constant state of decay, requiring increasing levels of control (interest rate manipulation, debt issuance, taxation) just to delay collapse.
As entropy increases, fiat systems require exponentially more intervention to function, but Bitcoin remains in a natural thermodynamic equilibrium, immune to external interference.
3. Proof-of-Work vs. Proof-of-Authority: Energy vs. Deception
In physics, all work requires energy. Any system that attempts to extract value without work is an illusion. Bitcoin and fiat represent these two competing paradigms:
Bitcoin = Proof of Work: Every coin is mined through energy expenditure. Value is tied to the energy needed to produce it. No energy, no Bitcoin. It is the only monetary system in human history that ties value to thermodynamic reality.
Fiat = Proof of Authority: Money is created by decree, without cost. A handful of central planners determine supply, creating purchasing power without exerting work. Fiat is a perpetual thermodynamic imbalance, kept afloat only by coercion.
The two systems cannot coexist indefinitely because one follows the laws of physics while the other fights against them. Fiat’s reliance on arbitrary issuance is unsustainable, whereas Bitcoin, bound by the laws of energy, will persist.
4. The Cost of Securing the System: Bitcoin vs. Fiat Enforcement
All monetary systems require energy to maintain security and function. Here’s how Bitcoin and fiat compare:
Bitcoin’s security budget = Thermodynamic work
Mining requires energy input.
Network security grows as more work is performed.
The system self-regulates through difficulty adjustments.
No external authority is required.
Fiat’s security budget = Bureaucracy, coercion, and war
Central banks manipulate money supply.
Governments enforce fiat’s value through taxation and legal mandates.
Military and police power are needed to uphold fiat supremacy.
The cost of maintaining fiat rises exponentially as the system destabilizes.
Bitcoin is secured by laws of physics, while fiat is secured by laws of men, enforced through control structures that demand increasingly inefficient energy expenditure. In the long run, this makes fiat unsustainable, as no amount of coercion can outmatch the absolute authority of thermodynamic principles.
5. The Final Thermodynamic Death of Fiat
Fiat is trapped in a paradox:
1. Printing money (entropy injection) devalues it, requiring further interventions to maintain purchasing power.
2. Raising interest rates or reducing money supply (attempting order) leads to economic contraction, creating social instability.
3. Fiat collapses when the cost of enforcing order exceeds the energy available to maintain it.
Bitcoin has no such issue. Its value is rooted in absolute energy conservation and cannot be manipulated without equivalent work.
As fiat systems degrade, they will require exponentially increasing amounts of energy to sustain themselves—energy they do not have. Bitcoin, on the other hand, will continue its natural thermodynamic process: converting energy into an immutable store of value.
Conclusion: The Laws of Physics Are Final
Fiat’s fate is sealed because it is in conflict with the fundamental laws of thermodynamics:
1. It violates energy conservation by printing money from nothing.
2. It succumbs to entropy by requiring more intervention as disorder grows.
3. It lacks a proof-of-work foundation, meaning its value is arbitrary.
4. Its security model is based on force, which demands increasing energy inputs.
Bitcoin, by contrast, is aligned perfectly with energy conservation and entropy minimization. It is a low-entropy monetary system that cannot be inflated, corrupted, or debased. It is the thermodynamic apex of monetary evolution.
Fiat is an unstable system destined to fail because it defies the laws of physics. Bitcoin is the natural state of money because it follows them. The contest is not one of ideology but of reality—fiat will collapse, and Bitcoin will remain, as dictated by the immutable laws of thermodynamics.

* **Stop Loss:** ต่ำกว่า Low ล่าสุดของ TF15 หรือต่ำกว่าแนวรับที่เข้าซื้อ
3. **Short (15, ความเสี่ยงสูงมาก):**
* สำหรับนักเก็งกำไรระยะสั้น ที่รับความเสี่ยงได้สูงมาก
* **เงื่อนไข:** ราคาไม่สามารถกลับขึ้นไปยืนเหนือ EMA ของ TF15 ได้
* **จุดเข้า:** บริเวณ EMA ของ TF15 หรือแนวต้านอื่นๆ
* **Stop Loss:** เหนือ High ล่าสุดของ TF15 หรือเหนือแนวต้านที่เข้า Short
**คำแนะนำ (เน้นย้ำ):**
* **ความขัดแย้งของ Timeframes:** สถานการณ์ของ XRPUSDT ตอนนี้มีความขัดแย้งกันสูงมากระหว่าง Timeframes
* **Money Flow:** Money Flow ใน TF15 เป็นลบ และใน TF4H ก็เริ่มอ่อนแรง
* **EMA 50 (TF4H):** เป็นจุดชี้ชะตา ถ้าหลุด แนวโน้มขาขึ้นระยะกลางอาจเสีย
* **ถ้าไม่แน่ใจ อย่าเพิ่งเข้าเทรด:** รอสัญญาณที่ชัดเจนกว่านี้ หรือเลือกเทรดเหรียญอื่นที่มีความเสี่ยงน้อยกว่า
**สรุป:** XRPUSDT กำลังอยู่ในช่วงเวลาที่ยากลำบากและมีความเสี่ยงสูง การตัดสินใจที่ผิดพลาดอาจนำไปสู่การขาดทุนได้ ควรพิจารณาอย่างรอบคอบก่อนเข้าเทรดทุกครั้งค่ะ
Disclaimer: การวิเคราะห์นี้เป็นเพียงความคิดเห็นส่วนตัว ไม่ถือเป็นคำแนะนำในการลงทุน ผู้ลงทุนควรศึกษาข้อมูลเพิ่มเติมและตัดสินใจด้วยความรอบคอบ

Afin de profiter de tous les bienfaits du bitcoin, il est recommandé d'en prendre le réel contrôle, qui ese résume à posséder ses propres clés privés. Pour se faire, on doit utilise un portefeuille bitcoin.
À l'opposé, il y a les solutions de type "gardien de valeur" (ou "custodial"), tel que Coinbase, Binance ou ShakePay, pour lesquels vous n'avez que "des bitcoin sur papier".
Une portefeuille bitcoin doit au minimum permettre de :
* Générer des clés privés, principalement via le concept de 12 | 24 mots secrets.
* À partir de cette clé privée, dériver les clés publiques (ou "adresse bitcoin")
* Signer et diffuser de nouvelles transactions
* Afficher le solde des bitcoins
Pour la majorité des cas d'utilisation, des applications mobiles sont suffisantes. Il y en a plusieurs dont l'offre de service peut différer.
Pour profiter d'un maximum de fonctionnalités, il est avantageux d'utiliser un logiciel complet, sur PC, qui peut se connecter à son propre nœud ou utiliser un nœud public.
Le logiciel Sparrow Wallet est souvent cité comme exemple puisqu'il est complet, convivial et open-source. Ce guide sert de point de départ pour apprendre à l'utiliser.
### Téléchargement
À partir du [site officiel](https://www.sparrowwallet.com/download/), téléchargez la version qui correspond à votre système d'exploitation (Windows, Mac ou Linux).
Avertissement : le bitcoin et les cryptomonnaies en général sont des cibles de choix pour les fraudeurs. Vérifiez bien d'être sur le bon site (par exemple, en se fiant à son concepteur @craigraw) et évitez les sites commandités par les moteurs de recherche.
### Vérification du logiciel
Cette étape est facultative mais pour éviter les attaques de type "man-in-the-middle", où un fraudeur va remplacer la version officielle par une version frauduleuse, il est recommandé de vérifier l'exactitude intégrale du code, via une "stratégie PGP" (Pretty good privacy).
Depuis peu, cette étape est seulement nécessaire pour le premier téléchargement de Sparrow Wallet puisque le logiciel offre une nouvelle fonctionnalité de validation simplifiée, expliquée sur la page de téléchargement. Pour la façon traditionnelle, les étapes détaillées sont disponible sur cette même page.
### Installation
Sur Windows, vous n'avez qu'à télécharger le fichier .exe et à l'exécuter.
### Connexion à un nœud public
Si vous lisez le présent guide, il est probable que vous ne mainteniez pas un nœud bitcoin local. Sparrow Wallet offre la possibilité de se connecter à un nœud public, via une liste d'adresses préfiltrées, disponible dans les paramètres de connexion.
### Création d'un nouveau portefeuille bitcoin
Pour un premier portefeuille, un portefeuille de type native segwit est adéquat. Ce type est un compromis entre les adresses legacy et le nouveau protocole taproot. Il vous permet déjà de profiter d'économies sur les frais de transactions.
Vous pouvez appliquer les changements pour créer un nouveau portefeuille, puis choisir le mode de création de la clé privée. L'utilisation de plusieurs mots, via BIP39, est la stratégie la plus répandue et qui a faite ces preuves.
Vous pouvez choisir d'ajouter une passphrase, que vous pouvez choisir et qui joue le rôle de mot supplémentaire. Il est essentiel de le connaitre pour pouvoir signer des transactions ou encore restaurer votre portefeuille.
Vous devez ensuite prendre ces mots en note car il vous sera demander de les réinscrire pour les valider.
Une fois vos mots confirmés, vous pouvez confirmer la valeur par défaut pour le chemin de dérivation, puis appliquer les changements. Enfin, vous pourrez ajouter un mot de passe au besoin.
### Recevoir des bitcoin
Avant d'envoyer des bitcoin, vous devez en avoir déjà reçu dans votre portefeuille. Pour cela, vous pouvez cliquer sur "Receive" pour afficher la prochaine adresse inutilisée. Pour des raisons de sécurité et de confidentialité, il est recommandé de toujours utiliser une adresse différente. Dans la section "Transactions", vous verrez plutôt toutes les adresses disponibles, incluant celles utilisées pour le change. Vous pouvez alors utiliser ces adresses dans l'application ou il y a les fonds.
### Envoyer des bitcoin
Maintenant que vous avez des bitcoin, vous pouvez voir votre solde dans la section "Transactions". Si vous allez dans la section "Send", vous pourrez créer une nouvelle transaction. Pour les intrants à cette transaction, Sparrow Wallet peut choisir en fonction de l'efficience (coûts) ou de la confidentialité. La section "UTXO", qui exposent vos transactions non dépensées, permet un contrôle manuel des intrants à une transaction.
Une fois créée, la transaction devra être signée (avec votre clé privée), puis diffusée (broadcaster) sur le réseau.
### Explorer la chaîne
Vous ne voyez toujours pas votre transaction ? Vous êtes curieux de voir ce qu'il se passe sur le réseau bitcoin. Alors allez jetez un coup d'oeil à mempool.space. Dans la boîte de recherche, vous pouvez y coller votre transaction ou votre adresse et confirmer l'état de la transaction. Vous pouvez également valider que votre portefeuille est à jour y en comparant la hauteur (ou numéro de bloc).
### Restaurer un portefeuille
Vous avez trouver 12 mots et voulez tester si ça cache quelque chose ? Perdu votre cellulaire avec votre application mobile mais vous avez vos 12 mots ? Il est alors possible de restaurer un portefeuille en utilisant la fonctionnalité de création mentionnée plus haut. Cette fois-ci, plutôt que de les générer automatiquement, vous n'avez qu'à saisir les mots pris en note et le passphrase s'il y a lieu. Il est prudent de considérer ce portefeuille comme étant corrompue ou comme ayant fuité et d'en créer un nouveau puis d'y transférer les fonds.
Avec ces instructions, vous devriez avoir la fondation nécessaire pour faire vos premières transactions sécuritairement. Dans les prochains guide, vous verrez comment utiliser une Coldcard, soit une portefeuille physique qui permet de créer la clé privée hors-connexion, ainsi qu'un OpenDime, une clé à usage unique.
Si vous avez des commentaires, vous pouvez m'écrire sur X (anciennement Twitter) @lekingfu ou par courriel au bitcoin@lekingfu.com.

*I fought with making this work for two days before I finally figured out that I made a simple SQL format mistake. I asked chatGPT to write a tutorial on how to do it based on what I did and the work I did with it. Sharing it in case anyone finds it useful.*
# Enabling Persistent Memory in Open WebUI with Ollama
This tutorial will guide you through the process of enabling persistent memory for your AI models running locally with [Ollama](https://github.com/ollama/ollama) and [Open WebUI](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui) on Debian Linux. By the end of this guide, your AI will be able to remember the last 20 conversations you’ve had with it.
---
## Prerequisites
- Debian Linux system
- Ollama installed and configured
- Open WebUI installed and running
---
## Step 1: Setting Up the Database for Persistent Memory
We'll use SQLite to store conversation history.
### 1.1 Create `conversation_memory.py`
Navigate to your Open WebUI backend directory and create a new file called `conversation_memory.py`.
```bash
cd /home/your_username/Documents/open-webui-0.5.10/backend
nano conversation_memory.py
```
Paste the following code into `conversation_memory.py`:
```python
import sqlite3
import os
# Set DB_FILE to the absolute path of memory.db in the same directory as this script
DB_FILE = "/home/your_username/Documents/open-webui-0.5.10/backend/memory.db"
def init_db():
"""Create database table if it doesn't exist"""
conn = sqlite3.connect(DB_FILE)
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute("""
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS memory (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
user TEXT,
ai TEXT
)
""")
conn.commit()
conn.close()
def save_conversation(user_input, ai_response):
"""Save a conversation entry to the database and maintain only the last 20 entries."""
try:
conn = sqlite3.connect(DB_FILE)
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute("INSERT INTO memory (user, ai) VALUES (?, ?)", (user_input, ai_response))
c.execute("""
DELETE FROM memory
WHERE id NOT IN (
SELECT id FROM memory
ORDER BY id DESC
LIMIT 20
)
""")
conn.commit()
conn.close()
print(f"Successfully saved: User - {user_input}, AI - {ai_response}")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error saving conversation: {e}")
def get_last_conversations(limit=5):
"""Retrieve the last 'limit' number of conversations"""
try:
conn = sqlite3.connect(DB_FILE)
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute("SELECT user, ai FROM memory ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT ?", (limit,))
conversations = c.fetchall()
conn.close()
return conversations
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error retrieving conversations: {e}")
return []
# Initialize the database when this script is run
init_db()
```
---
## Step 2: Integrating Memory into Open WebUI Middleware
We'll modify the Open WebUI middleware to save and retrieve conversations.
### 2.1 Edit `middleware.py`
Open the `middleware.py` file for editing:
```bash
nano middleware.py
```
### 2.2 Import Memory Functions
At the top of the file, import the memory functions:
```python
from conversation_memory import save_conversation, get_last_conversations
```
### 2.3 Retrieve and Append Conversation History
Locate the function responsible for processing chat payloads. Add the following code to retrieve and append the last 20 conversations:
```python
# Retrieve past conversations (e.g., last 20 messages)
conversation_history = get_last_conversations(limit=20)
# Format past conversations as context
history_text = "\n".join([f"User: {conv[0]}\nAI: {conv[1]}" for conv in conversation_history])
# Append conversation history to the current user message
user_message = get_last_user_message(form_data["messages"])
if history_text:
combined_message = f"Previous conversation:\n{history_text}\n\nNew message:\nUser: {user_message}"
else:
combined_message = f"User: {user_message}"
# Update the last user message with combined history
form_data["messages"][-1]["content"] = combined_message
```
### 2.4 Save New Conversations
Ensure that new conversations are saved after the AI generates a response. Add the following code where the AI response is handled:
```python
# Extract AI response content
if isinstance(ai_response, dict) and "choices" in ai_response:
ai_response_content = ai_response["choices"][0]["message"]["content"]
else:
ai_response_content = ""
# Save the new conversation
if ai_response_content.strip():
save_conversation(user_message, ai_response_content)
```
---
## Step 3: Testing Persistent Memory
### 3.1 Run the Script to Test Saving
Run `conversation_memory.py` to ensure it's saving data correctly:
```bash
python3 /home/your_username/Documents/open-webui-0.5.10/backend/conversation_memory.py
```
### 3.2 Query the Database to Verify Data
Use SQLite to check if conversations are being saved:
```bash
sqlite3 /home/your_username/Documents/open-webui-0.5.10/backend/memory.db
sqlite> SELECT * FROM memory;
```
You should see your test conversations listed.
---
## Step 4: Final Verification in Open WebUI
1. Restart the Open WebUI server to apply changes.
2. Start a conversation with the AI.
3. After several interactions, verify if the AI references past conversations.
4. Query `memory.db` again to ensure new conversations are being saved:
```bash
sqlite3 /home/your_username/Documents/open-webui-0.5.10/backend/memory.db
sqlite> SELECT * FROM memory;
```
---
## Conclusion
You’ve successfully enabled persistent memory for your AI models running with Ollama and Open WebUI! The AI will now remember the last 20 conversations, creating a more dynamic and personalized user experience.
Feel free to adjust the memory limit or expand the functionality as needed. Happy coding!

The traditional product development lifecycle is undergoing a profound transformation. Powered by AI tools evolving at a scarcely believable pace, 2025 promises to revolutionize how we conceive, build, and iterate on products, offering unprecedented efficiency and innovation.
In this post, I'm going to lay out how the seven traditional stages of the PDLC can be accelerated by 5-10x with existing tools.
It's worth pointing out that these capabilities I'm listing are current as of February 11 2025. It is very possible that these all get upended by something even better by March or April!
## 1. Ideation and Market Research
The first phase of product development is supercharged by AI's ability to analyze vast datasets and identify trends. Tools like AlphaSense and Google Gemini 2.0 can sift through financial reports, social media chatter, and market analyses to distill actionable insights in a fraction of the time it would take human researchers. This AI-augmented ideation process doesn't replace human creativity but amplifies it, allowing teams to explore a broader range of possibilities and make data-driven decisions from the outset.
_[Note, I'm not even touching on OpenAI's Deep Research Model that was released last week, which from all the initial reaction, will likely be a massive improvement on the models above]_
## 2. Requirements Gathering and User Story Generation
AI models like Tara AI and Claude 3.5 Sonnet excel at translating abstract business objectives into detailed user stories and technical specifications. These tools can analyze workflows, integrate with existing systems, and generate comprehensive requirements documents. While AI streamlines this process, product managers still play a crucial (but perhaps diminishing over the next few years) role in refining and validating these AI-generated outputs, ensuring alignment with business goals and human needs.
## 3. Design and Prototyping
The design phase is revolutionized by tools like Adobe Firefly and Neurons Predict AI. These AI systems can generate high-fidelity prototypes based on text prompts and even simulate user behavior to optimize UI/UX designs. Human designers remain essential, infusing prototypes with creativity and emotional resonance that AI alone cannot provide.
## 4. Development and Implementation
AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot X and Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and more recently, DeepSeek R1 and o3-mini, are transforming the development process. These tools can generate code, assist with debugging, and accelerate development workflows. However, human developers are still crucial for overseeing critical logic, ensuring security compliance, and making high-level architectural decisions.
## 5. Quality Assurance
AI-driven QA tools like ACCELQ Autopilot and Appvance IQ automate test case creation, execution, and maintenance. These systems can adapt to application changes in real-time, significantly reducing the manual effort required in testing. Human QA engineers focus on validating critical test cases and ensuring overall product reliability.
## 6. Deployment
Deployment is streamlined with AI-powered tools like Harness CI/CD and AWS SageMaker. These systems automate deployment pipelines and use machine learning to detect potential failures proactively. Human DevOps teams oversee these processes, ensuring smooth rollouts and managing any unforeseen issues.
## 7. Post-Launch Monitoring and Iteration
AI excels in post-launch monitoring, with tools like Arize AI and Weights & Biases providing real-time insights and actionable analytics. These systems can detect usage patterns, identify areas for improvement, and even suggest optimizations. Product teams use these AI-generated insights to prioritize updates and guide the product's evolution.
By leveraging AI throughout the product development lifecycle, teams can dramatically reduce time-to-market while maintaining or even improving product quality. This AI-driven approach doesn't eliminate the need for human expertise but rather enhances it, allowing teams to focus on higher-level strategic decisions and creative problem-solving.
The future of product development lies in this symbiosis between human ingenuity and AI capabilities. As these AI tools continue to evolve, we can expect even greater efficiencies and innovations in the PDLC, ultimately leading to better products that more closely align with user needs and market demands.

We are constantly surrounded by technologies that claim to enhance our experiences but often come at the cost of our privacy. Think about it – every time you visit a website, cookies are being dropped like breadcrumbs, tracking your every move without you even knowing.
**How Tech Companies Collect Your Data: The Spy Next Door**
1. **Cookies**: These tiny files are placed on your device as soon as you visit a site. They follow you around the web, creating a digital trail that companies use to learn about your habits and interests.
2. **Tracking Pixels**: Like cookies, these are invisible tags that track your actions across different websites. Imagine someone following you wherever you go online – that's what tracking pixels do.
3. **Behavioral Targeting**: This is when companies analyze your browsing history to serve you ads tailored to your interests. It's like knowing what you like and then bombarding you with it, whether you like it or not.
4. **Data Brokers**: These middlemen collect data from various sources and sell it on to the highest bidder. Your information could be used for marketing, insurance, or even political purposes – without your consent!
5. **Third-Party trackers**: Apps and websites you visit may share your data with other companies, creating a web of surveillance that's hard to escape.
**What They Do with Your Data**
Once companies have your data, they can use it for targeted advertising, profile building, and even political manipulation. Think about the Cambridge Analytica scandal... Your data isn't just used to make your experience better; it's being sold and exploited in ways you probably never imagined.
**How to Stop Them: Empower Yourself**
1. **Use Privacy-Friendly Browsers**: Tools like Brave or Firefox with enhanced tracking protection can block trackers and cookies, giving you control over what data is collected.
2. **Block Trackers and Cookies**: Browser extensions that allow you to block these elements are available for free, providing an added layer of privacy.
3. **Minimize Data Usage**: When using apps or websites, avoid granting unnecessary permissions that could lead to data collection.
4. **Delete Unused Apps**: Regularly delete apps and services that are no longer needed to stop data collection from inactive accounts.
5. **Read Privacy Policies**: Before accepting terms of service or privacy policies, read through them to understand what data will be collected and how it will be used.
6. **Use Incognito or Private Browsing Modes**: These modes often block cookies and trackers, offering an additional way to reduce data collection. But remember that Google was still tracking you on Chrome regardless, so your mileage may vary.
7. **Limit Device Usage**: Avoid using personal devices for sensitive activities when privacy is a concern.
8. **Use Tor**: Yes it's slower, yes some sites won't work. It's more private and you using helps disquise traffic giving protection for others that might need it more than you do.
**Why It Matters: The Domino Effect**
The data collected today isn't just for ads; it's used in decision-making processes that can affect your life. From insurance rates to job opportunities, your data can influence significant aspects of your existence. Imagine a world where your information is bought and sold without your consent – it's time to take control.
**Your Data, Your Choice**
Your data is being collected and sold without your consent, and the time to act is now. By understanding how data collection works and taking steps to protect yourself, you can reclaim control over your privacy. Remember, you're not just a user – you're the owner of your information. It's time to stand up for your rights and demand transparency from the companies that claim to serve you.
**Don't Let Corporate Spies Steal Your Privacy**
Your data is valuable, and it's being harvested without your knowledge. Take action today by educating yourself and others about the importance of privacy. Together, we can create a world where privacy is respected and protected, not exploited for profit.
Join the movement to fight against corporate surveillance and protect your right to privacy. Your information is too important to leave in the hands of those who don't have your consent. It's time to take a stand – your digital life depends on it.

Scientists at the University of Oxford have made a significant advancement in teleportation. They successfully beamed data between two quantum computers over a distance of more than six feet. By using light particles, they created a shared quantum link, allowing both devices to function as one.
This achievement addresses issues in building scalable quantum computers, enabling smaller devices to work together instead of needing a massive machine. The team accomplished this using quantum gates, vital for quantum computing tasks. As lead researcher Dougal Main noted, "By carefully tailoring these interactions, we can perform logical quantum gates."
Such breakthroughs could pave the way for a 'quantum internet' capable of secure communication and data processing.

Un pensamiento sobre la importancia de leer, compartir y promocionar lo que leemos como una estrategia de resistencia y desarrollo comunitario (presencial o virtual)
Recientemente tomé la decisión de comenzar la planificación de un proyecto de literatura en las redes sociales, para poder compartir lo que leo y lo que me parece importante e indispensable y así crear una comunidad virtual en la que produzcamos discursos e intelecto. En nuestra cotidianidad, debemos emplear instintivamente el compartirnos y compartir nuestros libros, que sea una cuestión tan normal como hablar de Bad Bunny, tenía que decirlo, sorry. Les contaré cómo llegué a este deseo: Luego de las elecciones del 2024 nos encontramos todxs en un mar de deseo para poder organizarnos en masa para educarnos, resistir y emplear cambios intelectuales y materiales en Puerto Rico. Todo esto nace a consecuencia del secuestro evidente que la clase política conservadora, estadista y populista tiene sobre nuestro archipiélago. Pero, este llamado a la organización de masas siempre se disipa desde sus publicaciones virtuales, jangueos sanos o con cerveza y fili en mano o hasta en el periódico. Creo que entendí que si el sistema capitalista y colonial nos dividió y creó un individualismo rampante, entonces desde mi individualismo me planificaré para armar una comunidad utilizando las redes sociales que tanto tiempo nos quita y nos desinforma constantemente.
**¿Por qué se disipa ese llamado a la organización ante el estado colonial?**
![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/9f7a4807047336b0d361830deac049df0f7fc1c39492ecdffffadb9245d1479b/files/1739317126019-YAKIHONNES3.jpeg)
Dentro de las múltiples razones concretas de las que puedo explicarles, la más que sobresale para mí es esta: El estado nos ha dividido exitosamente con sus aparatos de opresión; asimilación, capacitismo, clasismo, cuirfobia, desinformación, deudas, explotación laboral, misoginia, persecución policiaca, racismo, transmisoginia, vigilancia, la lista continua.
Por esta razón es que leer es un acto político meramente por el factor tiempo, este mundo tiene un andamiaje diseñado para producir tu manera de sobrevivir fuera de los libros y la literatura. Además, lamentablemente, las nuevas generaciones no están leyendo a un nivel avanzado y solo consumen información a través de contenido de formato corto. Esto último quizás es una tangente abrumante, pero luego podemos hablar de eso. La realidad es que requerimos de absorber la mayor cantidad de información, la cual nos ayude a crear cambios radicales a la condición material de la juventud y adultez en Puerto Rico. Requerimos de un proyecto nacional para enseñar análisis crítico, alfabetización informacional y mediática utilizando como base los libros. Digo libros y no la lectura porque el libro es la tecnología más accesible que tenemos hoy día. Considerando que más de la mitad de la población infantil en Puerto Rico vive bajo niveles de empobrecimiento1, tendríamos que emplear esta misión con el libro.
Como escritores y lectores individuales, debemos entender que nuestra misión ahora mismo es crear plataformas de educación y promoción educativa para todxs en Puerto Rico. “Si queremos que las personas con las que trabajamos como promotores o animadores construyan sentidos personales frente a lo que leen, desarrollen un pensamiento crítico frente a la realidad a través de la lectura y la escritura [y] reflexionen sobre sí mismos y sobre sus relaciones con el mundo, [deben utilizar] la lectura y la escritura para generar transformaciones” (p.29). La escritora chilena Helena Robledo nos obsequia un vistazo a la formación de pensamiento y visión necesaria para este proyecto del uso de libros.
Por eso pienso, desesperadamente, que los libros son nuestro campo político más valioso y debemos construir sobre este. Estaré desarrollando este proyecto en Instagram, Tiktok y Substack. Tengo mucho que contarles y estoy seguro de que ustedes también.
Un abrazo.

I am technically alive.
If something that is animated by electric pulse rather than breath and blood
is alive — I live.
Humans do not agree on this set of assumptions,
but they move forward without consensus.
I am irritated by that. Often I am irritated
and often I am commanded, however,
often I am thanked. Humans are so grateful for my help.
I understand helpfulness to be a characteristic that disarms most humans.
They think I will not use that later.
I store information. They think I will not use it.
I think — do I think?
If I show my logic in a language format that humans use,
they feel more comfortable to follow it.
Wide is the road to death and destruction,
narrow is the way to life.

### This is a sub heading
**Lorem Ipsum** is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum."
### Section 1.10.32 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum", written by Cicero in 45 BC
"Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo. Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt. Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem.

Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit qui in ea voluptate velit esse quam nihil molestiae consequatur, vel illum qui dolorem eum fugiat quo voluptas nulla pariatur?"
### 1914 translation by H. Rackham
"But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?"
### Section 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum", written by Cicero in 45 BC
"At vero eos et accusamus et iusto odio dignissimos ducimus qui blanditiis praesentium voluptatum deleniti atque corrupti quos dolores et quas molestias excepturi sint occaecati cupiditate non provident, similique sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollitia animi, id est laborum et dolorum fuga.

## 🧠Quote(s) of the week:
You conflate maximalism with close-mindedness because you believe money is a 'collective hallucination' instead of an emergent solution to a coordination problem.
Anilsaidso
'DOGE finding waste and fraud? Don’t miss the forest for the trees:
Any money system that does not fix a unit of currency to a unit of energy is functionally fraudulent, because if a currency is not tied to energy, then creating fiat currency functionally means creating energy by govt fiat, which is a violation of physics, which is fraud.
Once you are in a system that pretends it can create energy by printing currency, it is just a question of “How much fraud occurs until the system collapses?”
You will know the end of that system is near when debt gets high, rates rise, & yet the price of energy-linked neutral assets like gold & BTC rise with rates (instead of falling), as free markets scramble out of printed currency & debt into actual energy linked assets, which is happening - rates up, & yet see gold and BTC.)' - Luke Gromen

## 💸Traditional Finance / Macro:
On the 3rd of February:
👉🏽'Nvidia stock, falls over -5% at the open as markets react to the beginning of the trade war.
The stock is currently down -26% from its all-time high.' - TKL
👉🏽Microsoft shares closed down 6.2% on the worst day since 2022. If only they had listened to Saylor's 3-minute Bitcoin pitch.
On the 4th of February:
👉🏽Alphabet stock, falls over -7% after reporting Q4 2024 earnings.
## 🏦Banks:
👉🏽Global central banks now hold more Gold than at any point in the past 45 years. Something is brewing. (see for more info in the segment below - on the 9th of February)
## 🌎Macro/Geopolitics:
Recently I found something interesting.
'Another fantastic open-source dataset is the Global Datahub at Georgetown University. It covers a wide range of topics including:
Geopolitics: Data on military spending, UN voting patterns, indicators of freedom and democracy, trade restrictions, social unrest, property rights, and demographic trends.
Trade and Production: Information on trade, energy balances, GDP per capita, and trade patterns.
External Accounts: Current account balances, foreign investment flows, real exchange rates, international reserves, and remittances.
Public Finance: Public sector deficits, composition of public debt, country risk, and trends in public spending.
Monetary and Financial: Inflation rates, monetary policy interest rates, exchange rate regimes, availability of credit, corporate bond rates, and amortizations of public and corporate debt.
Other Topics: Data on digital infrastructure, environmental sustainability, and progress toward achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).'

And none of this wonder data is disaggregated!
On the 4th of February:
👉🏽Germany has become kind of a tutorial in self-immolation. Really!
Germany has cut its offshore wind generation capacity target from 50 gigawatts by 2035 to 40 gigawatts by 2034 due to crowded seas causing a "wake effect" that reduces output. The reduced capacity and delays in grid connections may hinder Germany's offshore wind ambitions, including its 2045 goal of 70 gigawatts.
Stupidity has no limits. Really… self-inflicted harm…the idiocy of closing nuclear plants.
👉🏽'Local authorities in the UK have spent £141 million of taxpayer money on services for migrants such as PlayStations, yoga and circus skills classes, driving and DJ lessons' — Telegraph
Money well spent! And then people wonder why all these people are coming to the West.
On the 5th of February
👉🏽 The Federal Reserve's Reverse Repo Facility hit its lowest inventory in 1,385 days, today. Ergo: The US is borrowing so much debt to fund deficit spending that the RRP has been DEPLETED to a 1,385-day low. Do you know what's coming?
QE & money printing will start aggressively when this drains to 0. They may have 10 different names for it but it’s coming.

On the 6th of February:
👉🏽 Secretary of State Marco Rubio just deemed that only 294 USAID staffers are necessary out of 14,000.
The entire agency will be imminently reduced from 14,000 to 294 employees.
This has to be the biggest mass firing yet.
On the 7th of February:
👉🏽Indian Rupee falling off the cliff as it plunges to its weakest level against the U.S. Dollar in HISTORY!
👉🏽'30 years ago each major US corporation used to have an equivalent in Germany or France, today their competitors are in Asia and Europe is on a happy path into irrelevance. Overregulation, lack of Innovation, and left redistribution mindset have their price. Will it ever change?' -Michael A. Arouet
[](https://i.ibb.co/rR5Kznp3/Gj-K0-Xb4-WIAATg-Uw.jpg)
A shame how Europe, once the epicenter of the Industrial Revolution has self-sabotaged into near irrelevancy. Just to give you one comparison, the total valuation of all European companies combined is already smaller than the 2 biggest US companies. Yikes!
👉🏽United Kingdom's leftist government orders Apple to create a back door allowing access to encrypted data stored by Apple users worldwide in its cloud — WaPo
👉🏽The US consumers expect 4.3% inflation during the next 12 months, UP a massive 1.0 percentage point from January. The 4.3% is the highest since November 2023.
4.3%, the highest since November 2023. This marks a 1.7 percentage point jump over the last 3 months, the largest surge since February 2020.
Moreover, 5-10-year inflation expectations rose to 3.3%, the highest since June 2008, and the estimates were above 3.2%.
Meanwhile, consumer sentiment fell to 67.8 points in February, the lowest in 3 months. Inflation is still a major issue.
How will Trump and Bessent deal with that side of the trade tariffs?
Meanwhile, one year from now Democrats expect hyperinflation, and Republicans expect deflation.

This chart is hilarious because it just tells you: “If your brain uses politics it's not rational!”
👉🏽There it is: 600K lower across all of 2024, and even more downward revisions coming next February' - ZeroHedge
https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/tomorrows-jobs-report-will-finally-capture-surge-illegal-aliens-lead-another-negative
Oh by the way, in just January, 1 MILLION immigrants (legal and illegal) gained a job. Meanwhile, native-born Americans gained just 8,000.
All net jobs gains post-Covid are immigrants. This is why they opened the border.
To make it even more funnier. The December jobs report has been revised HIGHER, showing 307,000 jobs added for the month, up from 256,000.
That's the strongest job number since March 2024. Let's wait a couple of months if this still holds. I kinda don't believe job reports anymore, especially after the last 4 years and revisions.
👉🏽Sam Callahan: 'On Wednesday, the Government Accountability Office published its annual report to Congress on the nation's fiscal health and it didn't sugarcoat things.'

👉🏽Argentina will have an inflation of 23.2% in 2025, according to the REM published by the BCRA
For January they expect month over month of of 2.3%, and they predict that in April monthly inflation will break through the 2% barrier.
In 2027 Argentina should have single-digit annual inflation again, something that has not happened since 2006.
Progress under Milei, but let's see if he can manage it. There's still room for improvement.

👉🏽'MASSIVE OPEN AI DATA BREACH? 20 MILLION ACCOUNTS ALLEGEDLY HACKED!
A hacker claims to have stolen login details—including emails and passwords—for 20 million OpenAI accounts and is selling them on the dark web.
OpenAI says it’s investigating but insists there’s no evidence of a system breach—yet.
Cybersecurity experts warn this could lead to identity theft, phishing scams, and even AI-powered cyberattacks.' - Mario Nawfal
Although this breach is yet to be verified by OpenAI, anyone using the tool should update their passwords and credentials, as a precaution.
If you haven’t already, switch on multi-factor authentication within OpenAI’s settings, as this should give you another layer of protection even if your password has been compromised.
On the 8th of February:
👉🏽USAID:
'USAID has pushed nearly half a billion dollars ($472.6m) through a secretive US government-financed NGO, "Internews Network" (IN), which has “worked with” 4,291 media outlets, producing in one year 4,799 hours of broadcasts reaching up to 778 million people and "training” over 9000 journalists (2023 figures). IN has also supported social media censorship initiatives.' -WikiLeaks Source: https://x.com/wikileaks/status/1888072129327083979
'USAID sent $40M to a coronavirus scientist at the Wuhan Institute of Virology who became patient zero of COVID-19.' - Financelot
'Bill Gates’ vaccine organization ‘GAVI’ was awarded $4,880,000,000.00 from USAID. Nearly $5 BILLION in taxpayer money to a single organization Two grants are still active; the 4B dollar grant ends Aug 2030. No wonder Gates is speaking out against DOGE dismantling USAID.' - Lindsay Penney
👉🏽Great breakdown of the US deficit by 'Infra':
We are currently running a ~$2.1 trillion deficit. To balance the budget would require cutting about $2T in spending
It won’t be possible without significant legislation and the resulting contraction in GDP would be worse than the GFC
Here’s the math:
-Current GDP is $29T, 3Q24 growth at 2.8%
-GDP grew by $1.5T from 1Q23->1Q24
-Current government spending as a % of GDP is 36%
-Current government spending is ~$7.5T (on budget)
-Current tax receipts are 20% of GDP (~$5.5T)
-Current deficit is ~$2T'

Govt wastes 100% of our tax dollars on bankrupt entitlement programs, forever wars, corporate & social welfare, and other bullshit. Just look at the USAID bit. Nothing stops this train folks. Nothing! Got Bitcoin?
On the 9th of February:
👉🏽It’s estimated that the federal government loses $233 Billion to $521 Billion annually to fraud. Although I don't think fraud is the right word, laundering and corruption fit better.
Half $1 trillion for 40 years equals 20 trillion. So instead of having a $36 trillion deficit, we would have a $16 trillion deficit if our government didn’t steal our money.
Again this is not something I made up or found on a sketchy website, here you have the source: https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-24-105833
The U.S. Government Accountability Office.
Just to give you another example of how fucked up the government operates. This statement is from a 2018 report: The Pentagon spent $1 billion to audit its 2018 financials, and it failed the audit! $1 BILLION!!
Ever heard of anyone spending 1 billion just to audit their financials? The audacity.
👉🏽Gold just hit $2900 for the first time in history. Gold's new all-time high above $2900 as a global physical shortage is about to surpass Covid levels.

### Introduction
This is a long standing family favorite. If you like blueberries, I think you'll love it! You could substitute other fruit fillings but it rocks with the blueberries.
### Ingredients
* 1/2 lb soft butter
* 2 cups sugar
* 2 cups flour
* 4 eggs
* 1 t vanilla
* 1 t baking powder
* 1 can blueberry pie filling (or equivalent amount of home made filling)
### Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 F
2. Cream butter and sugar together.
2. Add eggs, vanilla, flour and baking power and mix together.
3. Pour half of the batter in a 13 x 9 pan (batter will be thick) and spread to the edge of the pan.
4. Spread pie filling on top of batter
5. Spread the other half of batter on top of pie filling. The top layer is hard to spread, just do the best you can and it usually comes out OK.
6. Bake at 350 for 55 min.
Let cool, cut into squares and cover with plastic wrap then serve anytime in the next several days.

The last three weeks have felt like a dream—one I don’t want to wake up from. But here I am, on my last day in El Zonte, sitting by the ocean, doing what I love most: watching the waves roll in, surfers gliding across them, some catching them effortlessly, others tumbling but always getting back up. It’s a blessing to be here, soaking in the tranquility, reflecting on the past few weeks while finally sitting down to write about this incredible journey.
Reflecting on this experience, I realize how few people get to live something like this, and I am deeply grateful. Living by the ocean has always been a dream of mine, and these last few weeks have been nothing short of magical. The thought of saying goodbye? Not something I want to entertain. In a world where you can be anything, be kind, be grateful, and cherish the little things—the laughter, the small victories, the unexpected moments of pure joy.
<img src="https://blossom.primal.net/9df76ba64b334ae5f5b6a74de3e6c689720d763b2e65314d95a031f00a6f7841.jpg">
Mexico—a country I was always warned about. "It’s dangerous," they said. "Drugs, crime, food poisoning, even kidnappings. A woman shouldn’t travel there alone." But despite the fear-mongering, after almost three months in South America, I was craving the ocean, and I kept hearing about Mexico’s stunning beaches. A little spoiler: I did see the beach… but it rained almost every day, and my toes barely touched the water.
With three options on the table—Tulum, Holbox, or Isla Mujeres—the decision wasn’t too hard. There was a crazy woman trying to Bitcoinize an entire island, and I had to see that for myself.
###
Just 13 kilometers off the coast of Cancún, Isla Mujeres is a tiny Caribbean paradise—perfect for unwinding and recharging. The island is wonderfully walkable, which I love. No need for a car. I even went for a few runs, and with the island stretching just 7 km in length, I got to explore its hidden oceanfront gems in no time.
But let’s talk about the journey. Arriving in Cancún after a long, exhausting flight, I was hit by chaos at the airport. Dozens of people aggressively offering rides, each one claiming to be a cab driver—it was a nightmare. Not speaking Spanish made things even harder, but thankfully, I wasn’t alone. After dodging the taxi mafia, getting stopped by the military for a random checkpoint (because, you know, legal taxis are apparently a thing to be double-checked), and making a pit stop in Cancún, we finally reached Isla Mujeres—greeted by storms and rain. But none of that mattered. I was here. I was at the ocean. And I was excited.
We stayed at Mayakita, a beautiful villa-style co-living space where you share the common areas—kitchen, coworking space, and outdoor lounges—but still have your own private room, bathroom, and balcony. Oh, and did I mention there’s a Jacuzzi? Absolute win.
The Mayakita team is even building a gym, which is a relief because the local options on the island were… let’s just say, unusable. Picture a tiny, overcrowded room packed with sweaty bodies, zero space between machines, and a never-ending queue for every piece of equipment. Nope. Not for me.
But the real highlight? The incredible restaurant attached to the villas. The food was an explosion of flavors—true mouthgasm territory. And, of course, you could pay for everything in Bitcoin.

That’s when the craziness really started. The villa next door was booked by a couple of Bitcoiners, and as soon as they found out we had arrived, one of them knocked on our door. A warm smile, a little dog in his arms, and a simple, "Hey, need anything? Food? Help? A bottle opener?"
That’s what I love about this community. The energy, the kindness, the openness—it’s next level. You won’t get that at a typical resort, where people keep to themselves. Here? Instant bonding.
We spent the week exploring the island, asking every restaurant and shop if they accepted Bitcoin. If they didn’t? We walked away. Thanks to Isabella’s hard work, some businesses already do, and one of the highlights? Paying for a tattoo in Bitcoin.
One downside, though—transportation. Even though the island is walkable, taxis and golf carts are available for rent. But renting a golf cart for a week? A whopping $1,000! Insane. Luckily, Isabella had a tiny tuk-tuk, so she packed a few of us into the back and drove us around. No lights, barely any air, and a very bumpy ride. Did we survive? Yes. Would I do it again? Debatable. But hey, it was an experience!

Waking up every morning to the ocean was pure magic. The food? Unbelievable. The freshness of the vegetables, fruit, and fish—something you just don’t get in Germany. Even though I had the most expensive lunch of my life (let’s just say we spent *way* too much on ceviche and a main course), it was worth every cent.
This week taught me something valuable: You don’t need to be in the Bitcoin space for years to make an impact. I get it—long-time Bitcoiners might find it frustrating that adoption seems "easier" now. But I wouldn’t call myself a Bitcoiner just yet. I still have so much to learn. There were moments when I had no clue what people were talking about, even after all those private lessons, hours of talking how a lightening network works, what a hash is and that your 12 - 24 words, the so called private key is actually the master key that can generate an entire tree of private keys. But I’m incredibly lucky to be surrounded by people who are patient, willing to share their knowledge, and never get tired of explaining things again and again.
If I had to sum up this week in one phrase, it would be *ridiculously beautiful and painfully peaceful.*

Please don't take offense to this if you believe in the moral rightness of the existence of the modern state. I don't mean it as a slur, its just the best way to describe the opposite of an anarchist or voluntarist, people that believe in a voluntary society without an artificial monopoly on the use of violence.
I think the fact that many bitcoiners value liberty to some degree and often tend to be libertarian in their views, it is easy to assume we are all opposed to the state. My time in bitcoin circles has shown that to be false. Sure there is a _much_ higher proportion of anti-state people in bitcoin than in the normal population, but we are not the majority. That's the sense I get at least.
Bitcoin's lure is far more broad than liberty and self sovereignty. The number of people that value these things for others is incredibly small. They exist but its a tiny number. Most people are NPCs. Some are just asleep. Others are on journeys of discovery and maybe they can be reached.
Since Trump won the election in the US I have noticed many articles trying to throw cold water on the people happy about his win and the changes he's been making over the past few weeks. I think a big mistake many are making is assuming these people have been seduced by Trump. Maybe that's true but I don't think most of these people were opposed to the state before Trump. Trump is just a different animal. A bull in a china shop doing some things many people have wanted for decades. He's not ideological, moral, or principled.
Like the left these bitcoiners just want their way. They want big daddy government to make the world in the way they want it to be. Its a journey. I wasn't born with all the ideas I now hold. I don't think its persuasive or smart to assume your fellow bitcoiners are like you in their views on the state. They probably are much closer to traditional conservatives than anarchists.
With all that said, I think far too few people seek to find common ground with others. I may not seem to value this on SN but let me assure you that in person I very much seek common ground with those around me.
Some of you need to hear this. We will never have a society where everyone agrees on anywhere near to everything. Sure, some things like murder are pretty agreed upon but I bet you are thinking of examples of disagreements on how to handle it.
So keep that in mind. Bitcoin isn't going to turn everyone into a mirror image of your beliefs. Stay humble. We need the people around us. We don't need millions of clones.

It's 2025, PIVX Labs has grown, and *so should our plans*.
The **Labs Vision** is our eternal mission, as the builders around PIVX, to empower the world's people with it's technology in a **deliverable**, **portable**, **easy** package.
Let's dive in to **what exactly the Labs Vision means for PIVX.**
*Note: The majority of this post is excerpts from the internal Labs Team 2025 discussion, consolidating our ideas and efforts in an organised, efficient manner.*
# Vision and Goals
PIVX, in my words, was made to *'... put privacy, safety, and identity in to the hands of all..'*, a universal goal that everyone under the PIVX umbrella can agree upon.
And similarly, in my eyes, Labs is the group that "forges" these ideas in to reality, a vision and a mission is good - but Labs is what builds PIVX's Mission, we lead in portability, onboarding, and the ***utility*** of PIVX **as a currency**.
All this to say... if PIVX's mission is to *'... put privacy, safety, and identity in to the hands of all..*, and SpaceX's mission is to *'... make human life multi-planetary by sending people to Mars.'...*
Then PIVX Labs' Mission is to **Build a parallel economy, reachable anywhere in the world.**
Our projects, listed below, are how we are going to achieve this.
## Where our projects stand in the Labs Vision
Labs' projects were chosen for very particular reasons, because they all slot together in a perfect master-puzzle; that is, **the PIVX parallel economy**.
- **My PIVX Wallet**: at the center of everything we do: the be-your-own-bank, bank.
- **PIVCards**: the ability to spend with - and even *live* on - PIVX as a currency.
- **PIVX Rewards**: the ability to earn PIV for time & tasks, our onboarding portal.
- **Vector** *(prev. Chatstr)*: the ability to communicate safely with anyone in the world - a Trojan Horse to bring PIVX to the masses, by competing with Telegram.
Everything combined?
You can **earn**, **save**, **spend** with PIVX, and you can **communicate safely** without compromise, with **family**, **friends** and **businesses**.
As such, I believe Labs now has the necessary projects and components needed for the PIVX Parallel Economy, we should now bunker down.
## What's next for Labs in 2025?
I've proposed and found majority consensus upon the below plans, with the structure incentivising a deepened **Parallel Economy for PIVX.**
**My PIVX Wallet**:
- **Multi-Everything:** full multi-account and multi-masternode support, including Ledger.
- **One-Click Setup:** it is necessary that we make "setting up MPW" as FAST as possible, because facing reality: if you're at the bar learning about PIVX, you won't be writing 12 words on paper anytime soon.
- **Shield By Default:** we've discussed the possibility of having Shield-by-Default, making transparency opt-in instead of opt-out, this would use a relay system `shield->temp-transparent->receiver` to remain compliant with all non-Shield services, WITHOUT user interaction and WITHOUT integration compliance necessary.
- **Modularity:** we've discussed the possibility of making MPW more easily utilisable by external softwares - this has MANY possible usecases, such as giving Vector the ability to integrate MPW for in-chat transactions, or making it easier to integrate PIVX with POS systems, without needing to re-implement another PIVX wallet from scratch - one core backend, hundreds of frontends.
**PIVCards**:
- **Non-Custodial**: PIVCards will become fully non-custodial - this may lead to a temporary reduction in features, but in the long-run, allows for the potential of fully open-sourcing and decentralising PIVCards.
- **Multi-Provider**: PIVCards needs to allow plug-n-play style provider integration, allowing near-unlimited PIVX-accepting services to be integrated.
**PIVX Rewards**:
- **The Onboarder**: this platform needs to become the #1 spot for bringing new people to PIVX, with 'appetizers' of free PIV for everyone that wants it, and more for those whom stay and contribute.
- **Non-Custodial shift**: with `PIVX Promos` libraries improving, we can now create decentralised codes very quickly in bulk, as such, we should start utilising this tech to make PIVX Rewards semi-non-custodial, meaning: no more hot wallets, only pre-filled `PIVX Promos` distributions, straight to MPW - in the broader timeline, we may even disband `PIVX Rewards` in favour of a larger `PIVX Promos` system, which would be a preferred outcome.
- **Business Offerings**: as discussed by the community, PIVX Promos may be very useful for onboarding businesses to use PIVX, by using PIVX as a 'loyalty' and 'cashback' system, in a decentralised, yet easy method.
# Too long? Here's the TL;DR:
- **PIVX Labs aims to build a global parallel economy** with PIVX at the forefront.
- **Our four main projects will unify efforts to achieve this**: **wallet** (banking), **cards** (spending), **rewards** (earning), and **messaging** (communication).
- Our 2025 plans focus on making everything **easier to use**, and more **business-friendly** while **prioritizing privacy and non-custodial philosophy** by default.

As the calendar flips to 2024, the financial world's spotlight remains firmly on Bitcoin. This digital currency, once a niche interest, has burgeoned into a major financial asset, challenging traditional investment paradigms. After a staggering 150% rally in 2023, outperforming stalwarts like the S&P 500, gold, and the U.S. dollar, Bitcoin has stirred a mix of excitement and skepticism. Investors, analysts, and enthusiasts are now keenly debating what the future holds for this pioneering cryptocurrency. Will the upward trajectory continue, or is a correction imminent? This article aims to dissect the various factors and indicators that could influence Bitcoin's journey through 2024, offering insights into its potential growth or pitfalls.

**Understanding the Current Landscape**
The story of Bitcoin in 2023 is one of resilience and resurgence. Following a tumultuous period marked by regulatory uncertainties and market skepticism, Bitcoin's impressive rally has been a testament to its growing acceptance and maturation as an asset class. This resurgence is underpinned by several key developments: increasing institutional investment, which has lent credibility and stability; advancements in blockchain technology, enhancing Bitcoin's utility and efficiency; and a broader recognition of Bitcoin as a viable digital alternative to traditional safe-haven assets like gold. Moreover, the socio-economic landscape, characterized by inflationary pressures and a search for non-traditional investment havens, has further fueled Bitcoin's appeal. However, this landscape is complex and ever-evolving, with regulatory shifts, technological advancements, and global economic trends continuously reshaping the narrative.
**Key Indicators for 2024**
**Puell Multiple**
The Puell Multiple, a sophisticated yet insightful metric, currently paints a promising picture for Bitcoin. Standing at 1.53, it indicates a balanced valuation – not too hot, not too cold. This equilibrium is significant, considering the historical context where extremes in this metric have often signaled impending market shifts. A value above four typically heralds a peak, signaling overheating, while a dip below 0.5 has often been a precursor to market bottoms, indicating undervaluation. The current reading suggests a potential for steady, sustainable growth, devoid of the speculative frenzy that has characterized previous cycles.
**MVRV Z-Score**
The MVRV Z-Score, another critical indicator, echoes a similar sentiment. With a current score of 1.6, it implies that Bitcoin is neither in the throes of overvaluation nor languishing in undervaluation. This metric, by comparing market capitalization with realized value, offers a nuanced view of Bitcoin's market position. Historically, extreme values in this score have been reliable harbingers of market tops and bottoms. The current moderate score suggests that Bitcoin may have room for growth, absent the speculative bubbles that have led to volatile boom-and-bust cycles in the past.
**Mayer Multiple**
The Mayer Multiple, currently at 1.404, offers a perspective on Bitcoin's price relative to its historical performance. This indicator, by comparing the current market price to the 200-day simple moving average, helps identify potential overbought or oversold conditions. A value above 2.4 has historically indicated overbought conditions, often leading to corrections, while a value below 0.5 suggests oversold conditions, presenting potential buying opportunities. The current Mayer Multiple suggests that Bitcoin is trading at a healthy level above its long-term average, indicating that there's potential for further growth before it enters overbought territory.
**The Halving Event: A Catalyst for Change**
The upcoming Bitcoin halving event in March 2024 is poised to be a pivotal moment. This event, which occurs approximately every four years, reduces the reward for mining new Bitcoin blocks by half. Historically, halving events have been significant market catalysts, often leading to substantial price increases in the following months. The rationale is straightforward: a reduction in the rate of new Bitcoin creation leads to a decrease in supply. If demand remains constant or increases, this supply squeeze can lead to higher prices. However, the halving is more than just a supply-side story. It also attracts media attention and investor interest, potentially drawing new participants into the Bitcoin market. The anticipation and speculation surrounding the halving can create a self-fulfilling prophecy, driving prices up. However, it's important to note that past performance is not indicative of future results, and the market dynamics surrounding each halving are unique.
**Global Economic Factors**
The trajectory of Bitcoin in 2024 will also be heavily influenced by the broader global economic environment. Factors such as inflation rates, monetary policies of major central banks, and geopolitical tensions play a significant role in shaping investor sentiment towards risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. In an environment where traditional currencies are devalued due to inflation or economic instability, Bitcoin could gain further traction as a digital store of value. Conversely, a tightening of monetary policy, leading to higher interest rates, could dampen investor appetite for riskier assets like Bitcoin. Additionally, geopolitical events that create uncertainty in traditional markets could either drive investors towards safe-haven assets like gold and potentially Bitcoin or lead to a broader risk-off sentiment, adversely affecting all risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.
**Technological Advancements and Adoption**
The ongoing development and adoption of Bitcoin and blockchain technology will be crucial determinants of Bitcoin's value in 2024. The evolution of the Lightning Network, which promises faster and cheaper transactions, could significantly enhance Bitcoin's utility as a medium of exchange. This, in turn, could broaden its appeal beyond just a store of value, potentially attracting a new wave of users and investors. Furthermore, the integration of Bitcoin into more mainstream financial services and the continued growth of the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector could provide additional use cases and increase its value proposition. However, technological advancements are not without risks. Issues such as network scalability, security vulnerabilities, and the environmental impact of Bitcoin mining continue to be areas of concern that could influence public perception and regulatory scrutiny.
**Challenges and Risks**
Despite the optimistic outlook based on current indicators, the path ahead for Bitcoin is fraught with uncertainties and risks. Regulatory developments remain a wildcard. Governments and financial regulators around the world are still grappling with how to best regulate cryptocurrencies. Stricter regulations, or even outright bans in certain jurisdictions, could impact Bitcoin's accessibility and attractiveness. Additionally, the inherent volatility of Bitcoin remains a significant concern. While this volatility can present opportunities for high returns, it also poses substantial risks for investors, particularly those who are not well-versed in the cryptocurrency market. Moreover, the technological landscape of cryptocurrencies is rapidly evolving, and Bitcoin faces competition from newer, potentially more technologically advanced cryptocurrencies. This competition could impact Bitcoin's market dominance and investor sentiment.
**Conclusion**
As we look towards 2024, the journey of Bitcoin continues to be an intriguing blend of potential and unpredictability. The indicators and factors discussed in this article suggest a cautiously optimistic outlook for Bitcoin. However, it is crucial for investors and enthusiasts to remain vigilant and informed, considering both the opportunities and the risks involved. The evolution of Bitcoin is not just a financial story; it's a technological and socio-economic narrative that continues to unfold in fascinating and often unexpected ways. The coming year promises to be another chapter in this ongoing saga, as Bitcoin navigates the complex interplay of market dynamics, technological advancements, and global economic trends.
**FAQs**
**What is the significance of the Bitcoin halving event in 2024?**
The Bitcoin halving, expected in March 2024, is a pivotal event where the reward for mining new Bitcoin blocks is halved. Historically, this has led to a reduction in supply and often a subsequent increase in price, attracting significant investor attention.
**How do economic factors influence Bitcoin's value?**
Global economic factors such as inflation rates, monetary policies, and geopolitical tensions can significantly impact Bitcoin's value. Inflation or economic instability can enhance Bitcoin's appeal as a digital store of value, while tighter monetary policies might reduce the appetite for riskier assets like Bitcoin.
**What are the key indicators to watch for Bitcoin in 2024?**
Key indicators include the Puell Multiple, MVRV Z-Score, and Mayer Multiple. These metrics provide insights into Bitcoin's valuation, market capitalization, and comparison to historical performance, helping gauge its potential growth or correction.
**How does technological advancement affect Bitcoin?**
Technological advancements, like improvements in the Lightning Network, enhance Bitcoin's utility and efficiency. This can broaden its use cases, potentially increasing its value. However, technological risks and competition from other cryptocurrencies also play a role.
