The Bushido of Bitcoin
Svetski
@SvetskiWrites
"🚨WATCH THIS. SOUND ON🔉
2yrs, 7 drafts & 125,000 words later, The Bushido of Bitcoin is finally available for pre-order.
Writing this book has been a journey, and the process literally transformed my understanding of the world.
This is NOT another history of money or economic justification for Bitcoin. Been there, done that.
This is a book about virtue, excellence, culture and behaviour, which asks the harder questions:
What becomes of those who rise to the top, in the new socio-economic paradigm?
Will they become:
--> A new kind of parasite?
--> Another bunch of degenerate?
Or
--> Men & women of virtue.
It’s not enough to just say “Bitcoin Fixes This.”
We must do something about it."

T-Mobile Deutsche Telekom are running Bitcoin nodes, Lightning nodes and will start mining #bitcoin
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE.
Speaking at BTC Prague, Dirk Röder, head of Web3 infrastructure and solutions at Deutsche Telekom, said:
“Since 2023, we are running a Bitcoin node, and we are running Bitcoin Lightning nodes as well [...] I like to let you in on a little secret we will engage in digital monetary photosynthesis soon.”
Former Cointelegraph contributor Joseph Hall asked Röder if he could elaborate on the meaning of “digital monetary photosynthesis,” and "So is T-Mobile mining Bitcoin?!"
“We will.”

The speech that I could not deliver because German police burst into our Berlin venue to disband our Palestine Congress (1930s style). Judge for yourselves the kind of society Germany is becoming when its police bans the following words:
Friends,
Congratulations, and heartfelt thanks, for being here, despite the threats, despite the ironclad police outside this venue, despite the panoply of the German press, despite the German state, despite the German political system that demonises you for being here.
“Why a Palestinian Congress, Mr Varoufakis?”, a German journalist asked me recently? Because, as Hanan Asrawi once said: “We cannot rely on the silenced to tell us about their suffering.”
Today, Asrawi’s reason has grown depressingly stronger: Because we cannot rely on the silenced who are also massacred and starved to tell us about the massacres and the starvation.
But there is another reason too: Because a proud, a decent people, the people of Germany, are led down a perilous road to a heartless society by being made to associate themselves with another genocide carried out in their name, with their complicity.
I am neither Jewish nor Palestinian. But I am incredibly proud to be here amongst Jews and Palestinians – to blend my voice for Peace and Universal Human Rights with Jewish Voices for Peace and Universal Human Rights – with Palestinian Voices for Peace and Universal Human Rights. Being together, here, today, is proof that Coexistence is Not Only Possible – but that it is here! Already.
“Why not a Jewish Congress, Mr Varoufakis?”, the same German journalist asked me, imagining that he was being smart. I welcomed his question.
For if a single Jew is threatened, anywhere, just because she or he is Jewish, I shall wear the star of David on my lapel and offer my solidarity - whatever the cost, whatever it takes.
So, let’s be clear: If Jews were under attack, anywhere in the world, I would be the first to canvass for a Jewish Congress in which to register our solidarity.
Similarly, when Palestinians are massacred because they are Palestinians – under a dogma that to be dead they must have been Hamas – I shall wear my keffiyeh and offer my solidarity whatever the cost, whatever it takes.
Universal Human Rights are either universal or they mean nothing.
With this in mind, I answered the German journalist’s question with a few of my own:
· Are 2 million Israeli Jews, who were thrown out of their homes and into an open air prison 80 years ago, still being kept in that open air prison, without access to the outside world, with minimal food and water, no chance of a normal life, of travelling anywhere, and bombed periodically for 80 years? No.
· Are Israeli Jews being starved intentionally by an army of occupation, their children writhing on the floor, screaming from hunger? No.
· Are there thousands of Jewish injured children no surviving parents crawling through the rubble of what used to be their homes? No.
· Are Israeli Jews being bombed by the world’s most sophisticated planes and bombs today? No.
· Are Israeli Jews experiencing complete ecocide of what little land they can still call their own, not one tree left under which to seek shade or whose fruit to taste? No.
· Are Israeli Jewish children killed by snipers today at the orders of a member-state of the UN? No.
· Are Israeli Jews driven out of their homes by armed gangs today? No.
· Is Israel fighting for its existence today? No.
If the answer to any of these questions was yes, I would be participating in a Jewish Solidarity Congress today.
Friends,
Today, we would have loved to have a decent, democratic, mutually-respectful debate on how to bring Peace and Universal Human Rights for everyone, Jews and Palestinians, Bedouins and Christians, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea with people who think differently to us.
Sadly, the whole of the German political system has decided not to allow this. In a joint statement including not just the CDU-CSU or the FDP but also the SPD, the Greens and, remarkably, two leaders of Die Linke, joined forces to ensure that such a civilised debate, in which we may disagree agreeably, never takes place in Germany.
I say to them: You want to silence us. To ban us. To demonise us. To accuse us. You, therefore, leave us with no choice but to meet your accusations with our accusations. You chose this. Not us.
· You accuse us of anti-Semitic hatred
o We accuse you of being the antisemite’s best friend by equating the right of Israel to commit war crimes with the right of Israeli Jews to defend themselves.
· You accuse us of supporting terrorism
o We accuse you of equating legitimate resistance to an Apartheid State with atrocities against civilians which I have always and will always condemn, whomever commits them – Palestinians, Jewish Settlers, my own family, whomever.
o We accuse you of not recognising the duty of the people of Gaza to tear down the Wall of the open prison they have been encased in for 80 years – and of equating this act of tearing down the Wall of Shame – which is no more defensible than the Berlin Wall was – with acts of terror.
· You accuse us of trivialising Hamas’ October 7th terror
o We accuse you of trivialising the 80 years of Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and the erection of an ironclad Apartheid system across Israel-Palestine.
o We accuse you of trivialising Netanyahu’s long-term support of Hamas as a means of destroying the 2-State Solution that you claim to favour.
o We accuse you of trivialising the unprecedented terror unleashed by the Israeli army on the people of Gaza, W. Bank and E. Jerusalem.
· You accuse the organisers of today’s Congress that we are, and I quote, “not interested in talking about possibilities for peaceful coexistence in the Middle East against the background of the war in Gaza”. Are you serious? Have you lost your mind?
o We accuse you of supporting a German state that is, after the United States, the largest supplier of the weapons that the Netanyahu government uses to massacre Palestinians as part of a Grand Plan to make a 2-State solution, and peaceful coexistence between Jews and Palestinians, impossible.
o We accuse you of never answering the pertinent question that every German must answer: How much Palestinian blood must flow before your, justified, guilt over the Holocaust is washed away?
So, let’ s be clear: We are here, in Berlin, with our Palestinian Congress because, unlike the German political system and the German media, we condemn genocide and war crimes regardless of who is perpetrating them. Because we oppose Apartheid in the land of Israel-Palestine no matter who has the upper hand – just as we opposed Apartheid in the American South or in South Africa. Because we stand for universal human rights, freedom and equality among Jews, Palestinians, Bedouins and Christians in the Ancient Land of Palestine.
And so that we are even clearer on the questions, legitimate and malignant, that we must always be ready to answer:
Do I condemn Hamas’ atrocities?
I condemn every single atrocity, whomever is the perpetrator or the victim. What I do notcondemn is armed resistance to an Apartheid system designed as part of a slow-burning, but inexorable, ethnic cleansing program. Put differently, I condemn every attack on civilians while, at the same time, I celebrate anyone who risks their life to TEAR DOWN THE WALL.
Is Israel not engaged in a war for its very existence?
No, it is not. Israel is a nuclear-armed state with perhaps the most technologically advanced army in the world and the panoply of the US military machine having its back. There is no symmetry with Hamas, a group which can cause serious damage to Israelis but which has no capacity whatsoever to defeat Israel’s military, or even to prevent Israel from continuing to implement the slow genocide of Palestinians under the system of Apartheid that has been erected with long-standing US and EU support.
Are Israelis not justified to fear that Hamas wants to exterminate them?
Of course they are! Jews have suffered a Holocaust that was preceded with pogroms and a deep-seated antisemitism permeating Europe and the Americas for centuries. It is only natural that Israelis live in fear of a new pogrom if the Israeli army folds. However, by imposing Apartheid on their neighbours, by treating them like sub-humans, the Israeli state is stoking the fires of antisemitism, is strengthening Palestinians and Israelis who just want to annihilate each other and, in the end, contributes to the awful insecurity consuming Jews in Israel and the Diaspora. Apartheid against the Palestinians is the Israelis’ worst self-defence.
What about antisemitism?
It is always a clear and present danger. And it must be eradicated, especially amongst the ranks of the Global Left and the Palestinians fighting for Palestinian civil liberties –around the world.
Why don’t Palestinians pursue their objectives by peaceful means?
They did. The PLO recognised Israel and renounced armed struggle. And what did they get for it? Absolute humiliation and systematic ethnic cleansing. That is what nurtured Hamas and elevated it the eyes of many Palestinians as the only alternative to a slow genocide under Israel’s Apartheid.
What should be done now? What might bring Peace to Israel-Palestine?
· An immediate ceasefire.
· The release of all hostages: Hamas’ and the thousands held by Israel.
· A Peace Process, under the UN, supported by a commitment by the International Community to end Apartheid and to safeguard Equal Civil Liberties for All.
· As for what must replace Apartheid, it is up to Israelis and Palestinians to decide between the 2-state solution and the solution of a Single Federal Secular State.
Friends,
We are here because vengeance is a lazy form of grief.
We are here to promote not vengeance but Peace and Coexistence across Israel-Palestine.
We are here to tell German democrats, including our former comrades of Die Linke, that they have covered themselves in shame long enough – that two wrongs do not one right make – that allowing Israel to get away with war crimes is not going to ameliorate the legacy of Germany’s crimes against the Jewish People.
Beyond today’s Congress, we have a duty, in Germany, to change the conversation. We have a duty to persuade the vast majority of decent Germans out there that universal human rights is what matters. That Never Again means Never Again. For anyone, Jew, Palestinian, Ukrainian, Russian, Yemeni, Sudanese, Rwandan – for everyone, everywhere.
In this context, I am pleased to announce that DiEM25’s German political party MERA25 will be on the ballot paper in the European Parliament election this coming June – seeking the vote of German humanists who crave a Member of European Parliament representing Germany and calling out the EU’s complicity in genocide – a complicity that is Europe’s greatest gift to the antisemites in Europe and beyond.
I salute you all and suggest we never forget that none of us are free if one of us is in chains.

Great effort but could you please comment this opinion:
"Flare isn’t the Nostr solution you think it is"
https://simplifiedprivacy.com/flare/
Flare.pub is supposed to be a decentralized video app for Nostr
It is unclear how Flare prevents Flare itself from deleting your videos, as Nostr’s protocol doesn’t store videos, the relays store messages. Even worse than Nostr’s regular images being on 1 random server with government DNS, Flare centralizes that to a single entity. And even worse than that, Flare has chosen Amazon AWS with Google 3rd party JavaScript on his main website. It’s unclear what the purpose of Flare is, if it’s not to defy Big Tech companies.
There are a few approaches one could take instead. One approach is federation, where users self-host websites. This is how our website works with Nostr signing integration for video comments. This is also how Peertube works. Our website vid.simplifiedprivacy.com is basically Peertube but with Nostr subscriptions/comments.

Europe is home to the
✅highest number of #Bitcoin & #Ethereum nodes
✅largest absolute number & relative share of on-chain activity
✅the most comprehensive crypto-regulation globally (MiCA)
✅two thirds of global industry jobs
✅50% of venture funded crypto projects globally
✅favorable tax regimes
✅tied with the US, the largest share of blockchain developers (29% each)
✅strong values of digital/data sovereignty and decentralization
For once, Europe actually has the chance to lead a major innovation and revive its declining economy. We should better seize this chance!

“Computer technology is on the verge of providing the ability for individuals and groups to communicate and interact with each other in a totally anonymous manner. Two persons may exchange messages, conduct business, and negotiate electronic contracts without ever knowing the True Name, or legal identity, of the other. Interactions over networks will be untraceable, via extensive re-routing of encrypted packets and tamper-proof boxes which implement cryptographic protocols with nearly perfect assurance against any tampering. Reputations will be of central importance, far more important in dealings than even the credit ratings of today. These developments will alter completely the nature of government regulation, the ability to tax and control economic interactions, the ability to keep information secret, and will even alter the nature of trust and reputation.”

Neue Studie zeigt: Bitcoin verbraucht 56x weniger Strom als traditionelles Finanzwesen! - Blocktrainer
https://www.blocktrainer.de/studie-bitcoin-finanzwesen-vergleich/
Am 11.06.22
Der libanesisch-stämmige und mittlerweile in Frankreich lebende Wissenschaftler Michel Khazzaka nahm sich dies zum Anlass, um den Energieverbrauch des Bitcoin-Netzwerks mit möglichst akkuraten wissenschaftlichen Methoden zu untersuchen und mit dem globalen Fiat-Finanzsystem zu vergleichen. Khazzaka selbst arbeitet seit mehr als 17 Jahren als Informatik-Ingenieur und leitete verschiedene Arbeitsgruppen im Bereich des Zahlungs- und Interbankenverkehrs. Er war außerdem als Dozent an verschiedenen Universitäten auf fünf Kontinenten aktiv.
In seinem 27-seitigen Paper Bitcoin: Cryptopayments Energy Efficiency stellt er auf einem wissenschaftlichen Ansatz und auf „Physik, Informatik und Ökonomie basierend“ dar, dass das Bitcoin-Netzwerk 56-mal weniger Energie verbraucht, als das klassische Bankensystem und dabei sogar doppelt bis fünffach so energieeffizient ist.
...
„Bei seiner derzeitigen Kapazität kann Bitcoin PoW 412-mal mehr Energie pro Transaktion verbrauchen als das elektronische System und dabei die gleiche Arbeit 413 Mal schneller erledigen, mit einer durchschnittlichen Blockbestätigungszeit von 418,44 Sekunden (~7 Minuten/Block). Bei einer Blockrate von 10 Minuten ist Bitcoin PoW immerhin noch 288-mal schneller.
Daraus können wir schließen, dass die PoW Basis-Ebene von Bitcoin heute ηBitcoin ≈ 1,2-mal energieeffizienter ist als das elektronische System auf der Transaktionsebene.“
– Michel Khazzaka
...
Bitcoin-Lightning-Transaktion im Durchschnitt 345.000-mal schneller ist als das klassische System und 14-mal schneller als eine Instant-Payment-Transaktionen„, heißt es in der Studie. Dies führt in Anbetracht der anderen Faktoren zu einer Effizienzsteigerung im Millionenbereich.
Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass Lightning auf der Ebene einer einzelnen Transaktion Bitcoin 194 Milionen Mal energieeffizienter macht als eine klassische Zahlung und bis zu 1 Million Mal energieeffizienter als eine Instant Payment Transaktion. Wir können beobachten, dass das klassische System überoptimiert ist, um weniger Energie pro Transaktion zu verbrauchen und um Billionen von Transaktionen pro Jahr in relativ langsamer Geschwindigkeit zwischen 2 und 7 Tagen abzuschließen. Diese Überoptimierung und Spezialisierung führt dazu, dass das System fragmentiert und anfällig ist und weniger in der Lage ist, die heutigen Anforderungen an Sofortzahlungen zu erfüllen. Bitcoin hingegen hat ein höheres Leistungsverhältnis und ist dank des PoW-Baselayers seiner Blockchain in der Lage, mit dem Lightning Network sehr effizient zu skalieren.“

Bitcoin Mythen
Die Anzahl von Bitcoins ist unbegrenzt
Nein, es ist seit dem Start von Bitcoin in 2009 eine maximale Menge von unter 21 Millionen Bitcoin fest vorgegeben (s. unten). Es gab nie weniger oder mehr, das ist dann eine von vielen Fehlinformationen Mangels Recherche und Verständnis von Bitcoin oder auch Propaganda.
Mining / Wegfall der Block-Subvention
Mit jedem Halvening (ca. alle 4 Jahre bzw. 210.000 Blöcke wird die Blockbelohnung halbiert. Aktuell gibt es noch 6,25 Bitcoin für die erfolgreiche Block-Generierung. Das ist eine der sehr erfolgreichen Spieltheorie-Anreize bei Bitcoin. Eine weitere sind Gebühren die für jede Bitcoin-Transaktion anfallen.
Mit Abnahme der Mining Subvention werden diese Transaktionsgebühren die Profitabilität regulieren und das Netzwerk weiter schützen. Das Bitcoin-Design und Protokoll hat das alles bereits seit seiner Entstehung in 2008/2009 antizipiert.
Nochmal Energieverbrauch
Bitcoin ist das bereits das absolut effizienteste Finanz- und Transaktionssystem, dass es je gab.
"Zum Zeitpunkt der Erstellung dieses Artikels verbraucht das Bitcoin-Netzwerk insgesamt schätzungsweise 113,89 TWh/Jahr. Um diese Zahl zu kontextualisieren, sind hier ein paar Vergleiche:
- Die weltweite jährliche Energieversorgung beträgt ~166.071 TWh/Jahr, 1.458,2x so viel wie das Bitcoin-Netzwerk
- Die [globale jährliche Stromerzeugung] (IEA - International Energy Agency - IEA) beträgt ~26.730 TWh/Jahr, 234,7x so viel wie das Bitcoin-Netzwerk
- Die Menge an Strom, die bei der Übertragung und Verteilung jedes Jahr verloren geht, beträgt ~2.205 TWh/Jahr, 19,4x so viel wie das Bitcoin-Netzwerk (basierend auf Schätzungen der Weltbank und der IEA)
- Der Energie-Fußabdruck von ständig eingeschalteten elektrischen Geräten in amerikanischen Haushalten beträgt ~1.375 TWh/Jahr, 12,1x so viel wie das Bitcoin-Netzwerk"

Es gibt nicht genug Bitcoin für alle Menschen auf der Welt
"Es wird maximal 21 Millionen bitcoin geben. Jeder bitcoin kann in 100 Millionen Satoshis geteilt werden. Das bedeutet, dass es einen Gesamtvorrat von 2,1 Quadrillionen Satoshis (das sind 2.100.000.000.000.000.000) geben wird. Bei einer Weltbevölkerung von 8 Milliarden (aufgerundet) entspricht das 262.500 Sats für jede Person auf dem Planeten. Genug für alle, meinst du nicht auch?"
https://bitcoiner.guide/qna/de/myths/
Miner werden das Minen aufgeben wenn die Block-Subvention fällt
"... die allgemeine Erwartung ist, dass wenn die Block-Subvention sinkt, die Gebühren steigen werden und die Miner weiterhin für ihre Arbeit bei der Verarbeitung von Transaktionen und der Sicherung des Netzwerks entschädigt werden. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt wird die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass es eine allgemein akzeptierte Skalierungslösung wie Lightning gibt, viel größer sein. Selbst wenn einige Miner mit dem Mining aufhören würden, würde das Netzwerk dank der “Schwierigkeitsanpassung” immer noch einwandfrei funktionieren und Blöcke würden immer noch im Durchschnitt alle 10 Minuten produziert werden. Die Profitabilität reguliert sich von selbst."

El Salvador Has Thousands More Bitcoins Than Previously Known
March 15, 2024
El Salvador has moved over 5,000 BTC into a cold wallet, nearly doubling its known stash of the digital asset.
The country's President, Nayib Bukele, referred to the new setup as "our first #Bitcoin piggy bank" and stored the cold wallet in a physical vault within the national territory.
This revelation shows that El Salvador has been holding more bitcoins than previously believed, with public trackers placing its trove at less than 3,000 BTC.
The majority of the bitcoin held in the cold wallet came from Bitfinex, according to Arkham Intelligence.

The Stress Of Self Custody - The Bitcoin Manual
https://thebitcoinmanual.com/articles/stress-self-custody/
Those who think Bitcoin is worth nothing likely own none, and dismissing something when you haven’t experienced it is rather lazy.
How can you have a qualified opinion on something you’ve never tried?
How do you know it is a poor store of value, slow, or cumbersome to use if you’ve never performed a transaction?
How do you know it’s worth nothing if you’ve never exchanged value for it or purchased something with it?
It sounds like you are writing cheques with nothing backing them; I guess that’s just the fiat mindset, right?
...
Unbothered. Moisturised. Happy. In My Lane. Focused on not stuffing up my chance at generational wealth
It’s fun and games speculating on Bitcoin using an exchange and relying on a custodian to handle the asset on your behalf, but that’s not Bitcoin. You don’t own anything; you only have a promise to withdraw Bitcoin in the future, a future that is uncertain—ask FTX users.

Der Stress der Selbstverwaltung – Das Bitcoin-Handbuch
https://thebitcoinmanual.com/articles/stress-self-custody/
Diejenigen, die denken, Bitcoin sei nichts wert, besitzen wahrscheinlich keine, und etwas abzutun, wenn man es noch nicht erlebt hat, ist ziemlich faul.
Wie kann man eine qualifizierte Meinung zu etwas haben, das man noch nie ausprobiert hat?
Woher wissen Sie, dass es sich um einen schlechten Wertaufbewahrungsmittel handelt, langsam oder umständlich zu verwenden ist, wenn Sie noch nie eine Transaktion durchgeführt haben?
Woher wissen Sie, dass es nichts wert ist, wenn Sie nie etwas dafür eingetauscht oder etwas damit gekauft haben?
Es hört sich so an, als würden Sie Schecks ausstellen, die nicht gedeckt sind. Ich schätze, das ist einfach die Fiat-Denkweise, oder?
...
Unbeschwert. Schwitzend. Glücklich. Auf meinem Weg. Ich habe mich darauf konzentriert, meine Chance auf Generationenreichtum nicht zu verspielen.
Es macht Spaß, mit Hilfe einer Börse auf Bitcoin zu spekulieren und sich darauf zu verlassen, dass eine Depotbank den Vermögenswert in Ihrem Namen verwaltet, aber das ist kein Bitcoin.
Du besitzt nichts; Sie haben nur das Versprechen, Bitcoin in der Zukunft abzuheben, eine Zukunft, die ungewiss ist – fragen Sie FTX-Benutzer.

It has become increasingly evident that our financial system has started undermine our constitutionally guaranteed freedoms and rights . Payment giants like PayPal, Mastercard, and Visa sometimes block the ability to donate money . Individuals, companies, and associations lose bank accounts — or struggle to open new ones. In bank offices, people nowadays risk undergoing something resembling being cross-examined. The regulations are becoming so cumbersome that their mere presence risks tarnishing the banks’ reputation.

JPM is responsible for acquiring the necessary bitcoin ...
is all you need to know ...
"“…from at least 2008 through 2016, JPM, through numerous traders on its precious metals and Treasuries trading desks, including the heads of both desks, placed hundreds of thousands of orders to buy or sell certain gold, silver, platinum, palladium, Treasury note, and Treasury bond futures contracts with the intent to cancel those orders prior to execution. Through these spoof orders, the traders intentionally sent false signals of supply or demand designed to deceive market participants into executing against other orders they wanted filled. According to the order, in many instances, JPM traders acted with the intent to manipulate market prices and ultimately did cause artificial prices.”

"DAS IST SCHLECHT GEALTERT!"
Vor ziemlich genau 6 Jahren hat das World Economic Forum #WEF in einem Artikel prognostiziert, dass #Bitcoin im Jahr 2020 mehr Energie verbrauchen wird, als die gesamte Welt zu dieser Zeit 😂!
Der geschätzte weltweite Energieverbrauch im Jahr 2017 lag bei rund 14.000 Mtoe, was in etwa 163.000 TWh entspricht.
Der geschätzte Energieverbrauch von #BTC im Jahr 2020 lag bei rund 75 TWh.
→ Das #WEF hat sich also um knapp 99,954% verschätzt 😅😄.

The World Economic Forum wasn’t simply the brainchild of Klaus Schwab, but was actually born out of a CIA-funded Harvard program headed by Henry Kissinger
"My research indicates that the World Economic Forum is not a European creation. In reality, it is instead an operation which emanates from the public policy grandees of the Kennedy, Johnson and Nixonian eras of American politics; all of whom had ties to the Council on Foreign Relations and the associated “Round Table” Movement, with a supporting role played by the Central Intelligence Agency."

Leider auch beim Fachmagazin Computertechmik des Heise Verlag haben die Chef-Redakteure mehr Meinung, als fundierte Recherche zum Thema Bitcoin, Crypto und DeFi.
Bitcoin ist nicht Crypto und damit liegt der Autor bei allen drei Punkten s.u. fachlich falsch. Quellen dazu gibt es zahlreich liebe Redaktiion!
Aus Heise c't 27/2023
Standpunkt S.3 Editorial
"Kryptoschmu
Banken kann man nicht trauen, gerade die kleinen Leute werden von ihnen immer wieder übervorteilt. Die Lösung ist – wissen Sie es noch? Genau: Blockchains, Kryptowährungen, "DeFi", das dezentrale Finanzwesen. Unter dem Eindruck der Finanzkrise 2007/2008 war das ein mächtiges Narrativ. Nun liegt es mir fern, Banken menschenfreundliche Motive zu unterstellen, aber die Nonchalance und Hemmungslosigkeit, mit der die Kryptobörse FTX Kundengelder veruntreut hat, sucht ihresgleichen (siehe Seite 41). Und dabei war FTX auch noch bekannt (und in Teilen der Kryptowelt verrufen) dafür, sich für striktere Regulierung einzusetzen. Hauptkonkurrent und aktuelles Schwerstgewicht Binance hat berühmt-berüchtigterweise nicht einmal einen erklärten Firmensitz.
Nun betonen Krypto-Fans oft, dass es sich dabei eben um zentralisierte Börsen handelt, der Witz an Bitcoin & Co. sei ja gerade, dass man damit auch dezentrale Börsen, Handelsunternehmen et cetera konstruieren könne. Das stimmt und solche Plattformen gibt es.
Aber erstens lässt sich über die tatsächliche (De)zentralisierung von Bitcoin, Ethereum und so weiter trefflich streiten.
Zweitens sind auch dezentrale Institutionen so sehr von dramatischen Fehlern geplagt und mit Betrügereien durchsetzt, dass man mit hohem Risiko sein Geld verliert – und ohne Molly Whites web3isgoinggreat.com auch rettungslos den Überblick in all der Täuschung und Inkompetenz verlöre.
Und drittens kommt das Krypto-Universum nicht ohne zentralisierte Institutionen wie FTX, Binance oder Tether aus: Sie stellen den relevanten Zugang für Fiatgeld (also Dollar, Euro etc.) dar. Denn wie sonst sollen die von den Banken malträtierten kleinen Leute an den schönen Kryptosystemen teilhaben? Die Zeiten, als sie sinnvoll Bitcoin oder Ether am heimischen Computer minen konnten, sind lange vorbei.
Dank Implosionen wie der von Terra/Luna, Celsius und zuletzt FTX ist der Lack jedenfalls ab von der Krypto-Welt.
"TradFi", also das herkömmliche Finanzwesen, wirkt dagegen gar nicht mehr so schäbig – und das muss man mit Firmen wie Wirecard erst mal schaffen.
Kleine Leute, die Banken misstrauen, sollten vor jeder Kryptounternehmung jedenfalls schreiend weglaufen.

Cipherchat: A New Era of Private Messaging on the Lightning Network • LightningNetwork+
https://lightningnetwork.plus/posts/488
How Cipherchat Functions
Cipherchat's operation hinges on the innovative use of the Lightning Network. Users connect their Lightning node to the app through Lightning Node Connect (LNC), utilizing a pairing phrase from the Lightning Terminal. This process establishes an end-to-end encrypted connection between the user's node and the web app, facilitated by an LNC Mailbox relay proxy server. The entire architecture of Cipherchat is open-source, encouraging transparency and community involvement. Communication occurs through keysend payments, each carrying a message, ensuring a secure and private exchange of information.

NEW
ZEUS wallet with Embedded LND node !!
--
The ZEUS v0.8.0 open beta is here
https://blog.zeusln.com/zeus-v0-8-0-open-beta/
The new ZEUS introduces an immense amount of new functionality including an embedded node, LSP connectivity, and self-custodial lightning addresses.
Embedded node
First and foremost, the new ZEUS features a new embedded LND node. This means that users no longer have to remotely connect to their own pre-configured lightning node back at home or in the cloud. Users simply hit 'Quick Start' on the intro screen and start syncing the blockchain in mere moments.
This node offers up nearly all the same functionality to users as they would have with a remote node: including lightning + on-chain sending and receiving, and channel management. Only the payment forwarding screens are disabled as mobile nodes are not conducive to routing.

Happy ₿itcoin whitepaper day 👍 📄📄📄
15 years ago today, on October 31, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto published his white paper entitled “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”.
At that time, the pseudonymous Bitcoin inventor shared his thoughts with others for the first time on a mailing list of the so-called cypherpunks.
Our thanks for this epochal gift to humanity go to Satoshi!
For the white paper's fifteenth birthday today,
here are some not (well) known facts for you about this piece of internet and money history.
- The exact date and time of the first publication of the white paper is Friday, October 31, 2008, at 7:10:00 p.m. German time.
- There is an assumption that Satoshi specifically chose the day to post Luther's theses because it symbolized the reformation of the church and Bitcoin for the reformation of the monetary system.
- The initial publication took place on the metzdowd.com mailing list.
- Satoshi only referenced eight other sources in the white paper.
- Ten different people were named in the white paper. Including Adam Back, the current CEO of Blockstream.
- Satoshi wrote the code first and then the white paper. He wanted to make sure that everything really worked and that he could solve all the problems in practice.
- Neither the word “blockchain” nor “wallet” nor “mining” appear in the white paper.
- The limit of almost 21 million BTC is also not mentioned in the white paper.
Here you can get the whitepaper

World's Oldest Central Bank Seeking $7 Billion Bailout After Massive Bond Losses | ZeroHedge
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/worlds-oldest-central-bank-seeking-7-billion-bailout-after-massive-bond-losses
Two weeks ago we reminded the world that thanks to soaring interest rates, which will only keep rising until the Fed figures out what "big-enough" crisis it uses to trigger QEx+1, the staggering losses on global fixed income securities which according to the IIF amount to $307 trillion - as calculated by DB's Jim Reid - have risen to a staggering $107 trillion. And while thanks to such facilities as the BTFP much of the MTM risk has been transferred (if only for the time being) away from commercial banks and to the Fed, the cumulative losses at central banks are now absolutely staggering, starting with the biggest and baddest one of all, where the Fed operating loss is now $111 billion and rising with every day that the Fed pays out more in interest to banks (excess reserves) and money markets (reverse repos) than it collects on its bond portfolio...

German MEP, Christine Anderson: The so-called "pandemic" was a beta test—conducted by unelected globalists—to see how easy it would be to seize totalitarian control, under the pretext of a global "emergency".
"The goal, ultimately, is to transform our free and democratic societies into totalitarian societies. Their goal is to strip each and every one of us of our fundamental rights, of freedom, democracy, the rule of law. They want to get rid of all of this."
"In the entire history of mankind, there has never been a political elite concerned about the well being of regular people, and it isn't any different now... For god's sake, stop complying. Start rebelling. They are out to get you if you do not resist."

Der Tag an dem Hal Finney starb
Am 28. August 2014, also heute vor genau neun Jahren, ging leider eine Bitcoin-Legende von uns.
Harold Thomas „Hal“ Finney II verstarb damals nach schwerer Krankheit und mit ihm ging ein kleines Stück Bitcoin-Geschichte.
...
Hal Finney veröffentlichte im Jahr 2013, wenige Monate vor seinem Tod, bereits eine Art kleine Bitcoin-Biographie mit dem Titel „Bitcoin und ich“ in einem Forum, die seinen Weg mit der neuen Kryptowährung beschrieb. Hier ein interessanter Auszug daraus, der Hals Weg mit Bitcoin gut aus seiner eigenen Perspektive beschreibt:
„Ich dachte, ich schreibe mal über die letzten vier Jahre, die eine ereignisreiche Zeit für Bitcoin und mich waren.
Für diejenigen, die mich nicht kennen, ich bin Hal Finney. Ich habe meine ersten Schritte in der Kryptoindustrie gemacht, als ich an einer frühen Version von PGP arbeitete, in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Phil Zimmermann. Als Phil beschloss, die PGP Corporation zu gründen, war ich einer der ersten, der eingestellt wurde. Ich habe bis zu meiner Pensionierung an PGP gearbeitet. Zur gleichen Zeit engagierte ich mich bei den Cypherpunks. Neben anderen Aktivitäten betrieb ich den ersten kryptografisch basierten anonymen Remailer.
Kommen wir zu Ende 2008 und der Ankündigung von Bitcoin. Ich habe festgestellt, dass kryptografische Graubärte (ich war Mitte 50) dazu neigen, zynisch zu werden. Ich war eher idealistisch; ich habe Kryptowährungen immer geliebt, das Geheimnisvolle und Paradoxe daran.
Als Satoshi Bitcoin auf der Kryptographie-Mailingliste ankündigte, wurde er bestenfalls skeptisch aufgenommen. Kryptographen haben schon zu viele große Pläne von ahnungslosen Laien gesehen. Sie neigen zu einer reflexartigen Reaktion.
Ich war positiver eingestellt. Ich hatte mich schon lange für kryptografische Zahlungssysteme interessiert. Außerdem hatte ich das Glück, sowohl Wei Dai als auch Nick Szabo kennenzulernen und mit ihnen ausgiebig zu korrespondieren, von denen allgemein bekannt ist, dass sie Ideen entwickelt haben, die mit Bitcoin umgesetzt werden. Ich hatte einen Versuch unternommen, meine eigene auf Arbeitsnachweisen basierende Währung namens RPOW zu schaffen. Daher fand ich Bitcoin faszinierend.
Als Satoshi die erste Version der Software ankündigte, schnappte ich sie mir sofort. Ich glaube, ich war die erste Person neben Satoshi, die Bitcoin laufen ließ. Ich habe den Block 70 oder so gemined und ich war der Empfänger der ersten Bitcoin-Transaktion, als Satoshi mir zehn Münzen als Test schickte. In den nächsten Tagen führte ich eine E-Mail-Konversation mit Satoshi, in der ich hauptsächlich Fehler meldete, die er dann beseitigte.
Heute ist die wahre Identität von Satoshi ein Rätsel. Aber damals dachte ich, ich hätte es mit einem jungen Mann japanischer Abstammung zu tun, der sehr intelligent und aufrichtig war. Ich hatte das Glück, im Laufe meines Lebens viele brillante Menschen kennenzulernen, daher erkenne ich die Zeichen.
Nach ein paar Tagen lief Bitcoin ziemlich stabil, also ließ ich es laufen. Das waren noch Zeiten, als die Schwierigkeit 1 war und man Blöcke mit einer CPU finden konnte, nicht einmal mit einer GPU. In den nächsten Tagen habe ich mehrere Blöcke geschürft. Aber ich schaltete es aus, weil mein Computer zu heiß wurde und mich das Lüftergeräusch störte. Im Nachhinein wünschte ich, ich hätte länger durchgehalten, aber andererseits hatte ich außerordentliches Glück, dass ich am Anfang dabei war. Das ist so eine Sache mit dem halb vollen, halb leeren Glas.
Das nächste Mal, dass ich von Bitcoin hörte, war Ende 2010, als ich überrascht feststellte, dass es nicht nur weiterging, sondern dass Bitcoins tatsächlich einen Geldwert hatten. Ich entstaubte mein altes Wallet und war erleichtert, als ich feststellte, dass meine Bitcoins noch darin waren. Als der Preis auf echtes Geld anstieg, transferierte ich die Münzen in eine Offline-Wallet, wo sie hoffentlich für meine Erben etwas wert sein werden.“

BlackRock is buying #Bitcoin, but why isn't the market showing strenght?
The simple reason is that they are acquiring #Bitcoin through miners, exchanges, and governments via OTC (over-the-counter) transactions.

Prof. MATTIAS DESMET: Die Psychologie des Totalitarismus/The Psychology of Totalitarianism
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1p5ef_LwU4
In seinem Buch The Psychology of Totalitarianism (Die Psychologie des Totalitarismus) dekonstruiert der weltbekannte Professor für klinische Psychologie Mattias Desmet die gesellschaftlichen Bedingungen, die eine kollektive Hypnose ermöglichen. Durch die Analyse der globalen Pandemie identifiziert er das Phänomen der "Massenbildung" und veranschaulicht, wie die Menschheit gewaltsam und unbewusst in eine Realität des technokratischen Totalitarismus geführt wird, die alternative Ansichten aggressiv ausschließt und sich auf ein destruktives Gruppendenken stützt, das unangepasstes Denken als "dissident" verunglimpft.

"This Giant Beast That is the Global Economy" Is Money Bullshit? (TV Episode 2019) - IMDb
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt9617868/
#bitcoin #fiat #money
Kal visits a barter market in Spain to witness a cashless community in action, and has an economic misadventure with Melissa (it's not what you think). Or what about hoarding gold instead of stuffing your mattress with Benjamins? Kal visits a vault filled with the shiny stuff and learns all about how US currency was once backed by the gold standard until the US government declared that a dollar has value "by fiat" -- basically Uncle Sam's version of, "Because I said so." And then there is cryptocurrency. If you are looking for money that doesn't rely on banks or governments, you can go to the internet for a completely decentralized financial system. Kal seeks to understand the borderless world of mined money from the Crypto Castle in San Francisco, a bitcoin mine in Prague, a crypto-coin creator, and an early adapter whose fortune lies buried deep in a public dump in Wales. This episode includes appearances by Rob Riggle.

The Decentralized Energy Future is Coming | T&D World
https://www.tdworld.com/distributed-energy-resources/article/20972186/the-decentralized-energy-future-is-coming
According to Dave Martin, the co-founder and managing director of Power Ledger Co., “Historically, the energy system followed a linear model. Generators generated and consumers consumed. Energy flowed from transmission and distribution networks to hungry customers. Fast forward to today and our energy system is no longer simply linear.”
...
Consumers are no longer just a source of demand that needs to be satisfied but often are a complex combination of supply and demand requirements. Generators are not just distant, heavy, spinning machines providing dispatchable gigawatts, inertia and emissions but they are increasingly the roofs of the homes and businesses that are the basis of demand.
Prosumers — so called because they produce and consume energy — are a new generation source. They are largely non-dispatchable, often community-scaled and connected at distribution voltages.
In an environment where it is increasingly possible and cost-effective for prosumers to efficiently generate and store the bulk of their energy needs themselves and where service industries are emerging to make energy self-sufficiency an achievable reality, DERs are edging us closer to distributed energy systems.
...
The challenge for traditional energy systems now is not technology change; the electricity system has been developing and incorporating new technologies for over a century. The challenge we face today is a cognitive one. Can the industry change the way it sees itself after decades of a relatively consistent operating model?
The value case for blockchain is that they can be utilized to help manage the transition toward emerging distributed markets in a relatively seamless way. Blockchain will support the emergence of dynamic, integrated and distributed energy markets that, when operating in concert, will encourage small-scale, low-cost and zero-carbon distributed energy technologies to take us toward the energy future we need.

... the way to desaster for sure. Nobody is really suppressing NPs they just shoot you ripe to beg for it, pay for it, taking all the liabilities for it.
"As gratitude" they take all of the profit and control and none of the risks.
It is still working this "smart" racketeering with the help of propaganda.
Look up the numbers of total financial support for NE. It is significant higher than for working technologies for a reason ...

... I do not validate the framing that that we are in a "climate crisis" at all.
We have a serious environmental pollution issue on all levels this endangers our ecosystem.
We are in a deep crisis due to a Financial, Petrochemical-Pharmaceutical, Energy and Digital Platform monopoly structures. It is in control by a higly reckless and profitable Mafia. The core instruments are centralisation, oppression, racketeering and FUD to make it work.
The root cause of this all is a gigantic lack of education and culture. Most people are in a high state of self-inflicted immaturity and not only victims of their own deeds.
But we are on the way out of this distopia. This time we hopefully the merits of the cypherpunks and many more and the great human ability to evolve.

... and it is a almost total centralized system leading to all the issues and side effects like being vulnerable, not scaling, not efficient at all and big companies and states are in total control.

You started with a lot of assumptions. If you would like to have an open discussion it would be better to start openly and with substantive topics. What is your point, is it just to rant?
