What if it's not as complicated as it seems? even the randomness of a block in bitcoin the longest chain and will be the most reliable for mankind. accidents are not random. you remember the past like everyone else... but you don't know the future, the future is the evolutionary development.

and then we came to the conclusion that the algorithm on which bitcoin works has a bug.
that makes it possible to create something new.
Then I can assume that in the future we will have to change the bitcoin algorithm to a more advanced one.
there is a solution and the creation of this algorithm will remove the possibility of creating an alternative branch)

Let's say I caught a block and didn't send it to the network. and purely by chance I caught a second one. I sent the first one to the network and kept the second one and continued mining in this chain.
which chain will be the most real? I continued to mine one block per year, until the complexity decreases and recalculation takes place.
This already says that I was able to practically stop time, and restart the mechanism.

Hi. why does bitcoin have a vulnerability in time? why is the algorithm not perfect?
why the number of nons that miners are looking for is limited in size? these parameters can expose bitcoin to a huge fork. what i mean. a small miner can mine bitcoin for example have 1-10% of the network from 4-40 exasheh of the entire network.
and when a block is found, not to send it to the network, and hold the solution of a new block for a while, and the new solved hash should be used to find a new block. for example, to find a block and leave the ready answer for 10 seconds and start looking for a new block, say, mine for the future. and after finding the first one to send then the second, with a difference of 9 seconds. and it does not contradict the rules. but you can go longer and divide miners to search each non separately. that is, 1 miner looking for this number in the range from 0-1000 second from 1001-2000 third 2001-3000 and so on it's a matter of luck)
Of course the solution is to shift the time in the algorithm. it will remove this glitch or bug, or whatever it is called ...

For those who have heard the term and are unfamiliar with it, the layman's definition is short-term and long-term thinking. Many bitcoiners like to think they have a low time preference. In other words, they are patient. In practice, and even on Stacker.news, I've noticed more time preference signals from bitcoiners than we'd like to admit. Here are some examples.
Price / fiat exchange rate.
Government adoption or defeat
Mass adoption.
All of them are essentially related to high time preference. I'll talk about each of them. I'm curious what you all think, though.
Bitcoin to fiat exchange rate
This is probably the most obvious example of high time preference in bitcoins. New bitcoiners tend to fall into the trap of price obsession. When the price of bitcoin reaches unprecedented highs, everyone is interested and asks me about bitcoin. When the price falls and you can stack more satellites, nobody cares. Sure, the price still matters, but the idea that you're going to get rich trading bitcoins matters a lot. To quote Sayfedin, it's a "fiat mind." Bitcoin is a great savings vehicle, but right now it is still in its infancy compared to gold and even fiat. Adjust your time preference, bitcoiners.
Acceptance or defeat of government.
All empires fall. I have noticed one paradox. Most fiat people can't imagine a world in which the U.S. government doesn't control the world. Even a brief glance at history points to the folly of such thinking. In the early 1980s, most Americans could not imagine the fall of the USSR. In 1989, it was over. Bitcoiners, on the other hand, often dream feverishly that the U.S. and fiat world will collapse in the next year or two. It may or may not happen in the next 25 to 100 years. There are even people who think we should hasten the fall of these empires with violence. Again, this is very important and stupid.
Then you have people who are obsessed with politics and making politicians "support" bitcoin. If bitcoin requires the support of politicians, we are doomed. IMO bitcoin will eventually make the existing political system obsolete. As the bitcoin network grows, political support will happen organically. Focus on helping your fellow plebeians. Ignore these clowns who are trying to control us.
Mass Acceptance.
I hear people say over and over again how bitcoin has been around for so long and why hasn't it been accepted by the masses? This is a huge example of high time preference. The reality is that those who could have easily adopted bitcoin do not currently see the need. For those who need it most, adoption is not yet a simple and easy matter. We'll get there, but we're not there yet. It will take time. Those of us who live in relatively free and prosperous countries should use bitcoin as much as possible, helping to test tools and supporting the development of better tools.
Conclusion
Bitcoin is a tool of civilization. It is a revolutionary idea and technology. Of course, I want to see a massive proliferation of bitcoins in my lifetime. I want the state of war to end. I want open-source money to spread around the world. These things will happen. If they don't happen in the next 5 years, that doesn't mean bitcoin has failed. Because people who value freedom and sovereignty focus on becoming free. Freedom and sovereignty require responsibility, and if you are not working on becoming free and sovereign, you will not be ready when the current system collapses. We need to adjust our temporal preferences. We need to focus on long-term growth and bitcoin health for the sake of humanity.

https://media.nostrgram.co/i/f2/media_f297e7963d246.jpg Billionaire Branson's space company Virgin Orbit has declared bankruptcy!
And you might ask: how could a billionaire owned company go bankrupt, because if it is his "brainchild" or "his dream", he can sponsor its operation for several more lifetimes, but we are seeing news of bankruptcy!!!
To understand such processes we need to realize that the likes of Branson, Musk and others, are in reality nothing, they are just "pounds" with the option of media managers. Their job is to PR projects of the international oligarchy and be the embodiment of the "American dream" for suckers.
The international oligarchy temporarily signs over some of its companies to such people, in order to keep a low profile and give media effect to its business. That is why Branson, as soon as he was told to close Virgin Orbit, did it without remorse, he does not care about space and new technologies, he is just a high-paid actor, not a billionaire.

According to the company, about 1 exahash per second (EH/s) or about 8,000 bitcoin miners with integrated circuits are now connected to the network, and another 8,000 miners will be delivered shortly.
According to the company's press release on the Nautilus energization, Terawulf will receive a flat electricity rate of about $0.02 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for the next five years.
The Nautilus facility is considered a milestone because it is the first bitcoin mining facility of its kind to receive 24/7 carbon-free power from Pennsylvania's 2.5 GW Susquehanna nuclear power plant.
Seven days ago, Mawson Infrastructure Group launched a mining company in Pennsylvania, after exiting Australia. In addition to the 50-MW Nautilus facility, Terawulf announced that it is expanding operations at its Lake Mariner facility in New York. This move will increase Lake Mariner's capacity from 60 MW to 110 MW.
Right before our eyes, the ultimate centralization of mining is happening in the US, which has already captured the lion's share of the world's hashrate. And the problem here is not only that the main mining pools are located in one country. A couple of years ago, the lion's share of mining pools was in China. The problem is exactly that there are no pools at all in the US.
Everybody used to worry about infestation of Chinese pools in bitcoin network, but most of Chinese pools were joined by miners from any part of the world, and there was only one purely Chinese pool. All the others were open to miners from any country. Now in the U.S. there is a mega concentration of miners in individual companies, without the ability to connect to their pools of third-party players.
Moreover, such collusion of large energy companies and nuclear power plants, belonging by a strange coincidence to the investment division of Goldman Sachs bank, raises suspicion that the most active in the cryptosphere bank wants to concentrate in its hands almost all bitcoin mining on the planet.
Thus, for example the CSO (Chief Strategy Officer) of the largest atomic miner in the USA was Kerri Langlais (https://investors.terawulf.com/governance/board-of-directors/person-details/default.aspx?ItemId=d5a6c25e-851c-4f78-b262-89d8fce4f070) and the company easily attracted the funding for the purchase of those 8000 miners. Again, by a strange coincidence, the previous 10 years Kerri had worked where would you think? You'd never guess: the Investment Banking Division at Goldman Sachs.
What's interesting is that the second centralized mining company that announced (https://news.bitcoin.com/mawson-infrastructure-group-launches-bitcoin-mining-operation-in-pennsylvania-exits-australia/) the use of nuclear power for bitcoin mining, Mawson Infrastructure Group, coincidentally has in its shareholders (https://www.wallstreetzen.com/stocks/us/nasdaq/migi/ownership) another great American bank noticed in interest in bitcoin projects, Morgan Stanley.
All in all, the genius decentralized Bitcoin project invented by Satoshi Nakamoto is becoming increasingly centralized, both in terms of owners of large wallets and bitcoin amounts, and in terms of capturing mining capacity. These worthy people with a strong interest in the asset, the world's big banks, are the shareholders of the Fed. And it is these people who forbid us (picking our nose) to own cryptocurrency.

Chinese social network TikTok will add a number of features aimed at limiting the time that children and teens can spend on the social network
For example, each account belonging to a user under the age of 18 will automatically have a screen time limit of 60 minutes per day. When the limit is reached, teens will be prompted to enter a password to continue using the social network. Users under the age of 13 will also be limited to 60 minutes. They can get an additional 30 minutes to watch videos if their parents or guardians set or enter a password.
How long have you been sitting there?...shooting a lot of video?

When bitcoin stopped being used as money and mainstream developers started talking about using credit cards instead of actually using bitcoins, I thought the way forward might be BCH.
Now BCH developers have made a lot of mistakes and BTC has won the popularity war, but I'm still worried about lightning. All along, all I wanted was decentralized, reliable, non-inflationary money. However, lightning is becoming very centralized. It seems to be living up to all the worst expectations of BCH/decentralized money advocates.
For example, now to use lightning on nostr, you basically have to use a custodial wallet to get a lightning address (one of those email format addresses for your LN wallet). Yes, you can use your own nostr, but no one normal will do that. I want decentralized money for everyone. I don't want everyone to be censored except for a few geeks running their own nodes.
My real concern now is, can I really support lightning in the future if it leads to that level of centralized control? Can I really promote this technology if it drives everyone into custodial purses? Or is there any hope for true decentralization without people running their own nodes? ......
Honestly, I'm not tied to any particular technology. I just want to really have free money for everyone - so people can avoid fiat money. To do that, we need to have easy-to-use wallets, free of censorship and centralized control, and we need vendors to accept them directly so that we are not subject to bottlenecks in the form of exchanges just to spend our money. money.
Who here is really willing to answer this post honestly and think about the future of our monetary freedom? Do we need a different solution? Could it be something like a different 2L on bitcoin based on zk evidence? Honestly, I don't care what it is, but we can't get stuck on technology that is subject to censorship and bottlenecks. We have to preserve and expand the freedom that Bitcoin originally envisioned and gave us.

Gary Gensler, chairman of the SEC, just confirmed that Bitcoin is different in his eyes. You have bitcoin on one side and cryptocurrencies on the other. If you're a bitcoiner, this won't surprise you, because we've all been saying for a long time that bitcoin !=crypto.
But for those who haven't figured out why Bitcoin, it's always interesting to hear someone from the SEC state this truth: Bitcoin ! = Crypto.
The implications of what Gary Gensler just said are significant because it means that future SEC attacks on the cryptocurrency industry will not target Bitcoin. Bitcoin cannot be attacked by the SEC. Gary Gensler knows this and is talking about it.
Obviously, since the price of bitcoin on the spot market is determined by human psychology and emotion, you can still see the price of bitcoin drop with every announcement of an attack on the cryptocurrency industry by the SEC or another U.S. authority.
But in the long run, this confirms that Bitcoin isn't going anywhere and that Bitcoin is something you should turn to if you really want to protect the fruits of your labor.
In addition to this statement by Gary Gensler, you should also be aware of another important fact. Many institutions are waiting for more clarity on what the SEC plans to do regarding bitcoins. If the SEC confirms Gary Gensler's words, it means that the CFTC will probably take over the potential regulation of Bitcoin.
Once that is clearly established, you can expect a massive influx of capital from institutions into Bitcoin.
As an individual, this is not something that should worry you too much, in my opinion. Indeed, Bitcoin exists to give you back power over the fruits of your labor in a censorship-resistant way, protecting you from inflation.
Bitcoin ownership is a right, and you don't need government permission to do so.
The sooner you realize this, the better it will be for you, because you can save up in bitcoins and then little by little do things to live in bitcoins. There's still a long way to go, but the goal is clear: Hyper Bitcoinization of the world.
Time is on Bitcoin's side. And no one can stop the bitcoin revolution as long as people keep supporting it.

Pretty much spot on. In the next 5 years we will see the first gen fully game-on, and because of bitcoin's strengths it will sink roots into every culture into the world, after this initial stage the real battle with the establishment will start.
The establishment thinks that they will make surveillance money ubiquitous. Unlike your regular bitcoiner, I know that this is not just about the bitcoin network, or even LN, but about the struggle to control the flow of information on the internet. This is why we here at Indra Labs believe that it is critical that we lay the foundations of a fully privacy protecting internet layer on top of the old, transparent, centrally monitored one.
Come to that, when you think about it, the internet itself is only just now coming into its final stages as 3rd generation. The internet became available in the late 70s and goes hand in hand with ethernet, unix, email, and these types of technology. There simply was not any way for us to move forward to a p2p, privacy protecting internet without Bitcoin first.
The only way to achieve security in a p2p network system is to have a reputation system, and fundamentally, a monetary system with very little way to corrupt it is the only possible basis of an effective reputation system. Reputation rises to have a tangible value in the post Bitcoin world. We are seeing the beginning of this now with the Zaps on Nostr. Money itself was first discovered as a means to define who had the power, and the power was based on the ability to make stuff happen, which is a lot easier when people can be paid to work for you. It's inconceivable that feudal monarchies could have risen without paying their soldiers.
And that's also why, although of course we are most focused here at Indra on our little baby, we totally see how Nostr is part of this. A lot of people don't realise that social media is now in its ~30th year or 1.5 generations point, it really started with BBS systems, which also became the first conduit for p2p information sharing over the internet, the onramp and offramp for it. Nostr is the best candidate for the first protocol for social networking. Prior to this, they were platforms, and forward-seeing folk have been trying to make this happen for a long time - but, again, without a fully secure reputational system to back it up, any such network will eventually be overrun by spammers and manipulators of various stripes.
Money was the final frontier for the internet's development when Bitcoin arose. We are now busy paving the roads into this new frontier in order to receive the traffic that will come as the benefits become visible to the wider population.
The reason why it takes such a long time to come to fruition is that the establishment does not have a benefit from adopting it, only the lower tiers of society. The establishment is just now starting to really perceive that their power is being fundamentally destroyed, and like all things, especially amongst the lame brained rentseekers that make up most of the establishment, they only realise the threat when they are far beyond being able to really do anything about it.
I'm sure that there will be more insights that come as this idea percolates in the community. I'm also quite sure that while right now our little pet project is nowhere, just like Nostr, in a year or two it's gonna be hot. Not just because it is more robust and complete than its predecessor anonymisation networks, but because it also is very likely going to be the very first protocol that is so tightly integrated with LN and Bitcoin.
Having said all that, I also foresee that the next 5 years is going to be pretty rough for us all. World War 3 has basically started, and all the stuff we are doing is very much interfering with the plumbing of the grand plans of the plutocrats to wipe out most of the population and attempt to push their plans to automate their power, at the same time, I don't think it's as dark as some writers have projected. First of all, the distribution of the assets that enable this kind of doom are not broad. There is still substantial parts of the planet without internet, not counting Starlink. But even there, you can see that the emergence of a globe spanning internet is kinda like a marker of the end of the development phase of the internet as a technology. For a not unreasonable amount of money, there is no place above ground on this planet that can't have internet.

Crypto
1. Curiosity
With a new generation comes new technologies. From a human point of view, everyone seeks their own happiness, although selfishness is what allows us as a species to optimize the limited time we have.
There are other types of humans, whom I call "scammers and charlatans" who pursue self-interest, but at the cost of other people's limited time, but indirectly thanks to them we reach convergence.
You probably entered this world of cryptocurrencies because of Xcoin or Ycoin (or some of the more than 20 thousand tokens that exist today), it was not by chance... It was marketing.
2. Skepticism
You probably heard from friends or social networks about someone who lost a lot of money playing with these tokens in the exchange houses' casino. Or maybe you thought it was silly and fashionable, that it wouldn't last more than a couple of months before disappearing. As a logical thinker, you gave up the idea of even trying.
3. Initiation
One day, you hear about a word that has echoed in your mind; either because you come from a country with many resources but bad administrators, or because you simply know someone who talks about the topic: "Inflation". You tell yourself "If I keep my money in the bank, all my savings can disappear in less than a decade" and you decide to enter the stock market. You lasted a while there, but you realized that it's not for you, you have to study and invest a lot of time that you could use for something more productive or doing something you like.
Your YouTube channel or your wall on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or Tiktok is full of people who claim to have the key to a better world:
“Invest your money here with this new technology, we're going to the moon." "The next money of the world." "Everyone will use it." "It's decentralized." "Blockchain." "The next Bitcoin"...
You got it.
You decide to take a look and are surprised by how easy it is. Congratulations, now you're one of the many like me.
4. Speculation
At this stage, you are already what they call a "trader." You spend some of your time reviewing articles, listening to podcasts, or watching videos about the latest tokens that have hit the market. You compulsively check your phone, watching as the prices of the tokens you bought move with volatility.
It's at this point that you have probably read Tweets from a "Bitcoin maxi," calling the token you bought a "shitcoin" and confidently saying that it doesn't solve any problem that a centralized database can't solve, that what you believe is going to revolutionize the industry is just a fallacy, a mirage. Ignoring the comment or responding with a "Bitcoin Maxis are orthodox," among other derogatory comments you may find.
You live in your bubble, and you're happy there (or so you think) until the next step.
5. First gains or losses
From here there is a fork in the road. If you made gains from your investments, where everything is beautiful and rosy; all those green bars, where you believe everything will continue to rise to infinity… You'll think you're a genius. You'll continue to gamble your money until bad news introduce itself at your doorstep.
The Xcoin in which you had invested part of your portfolio starts to fall, and it falls quickly. You start to wonder whether to sell it now or wait for it to go up a bit more... You spend five hours, and it falls even further. Congratulations, you lost 90% of the money you invested. The reason? Xcoin was controlled by a group of people who decided to take all the money and leave the token without liquidity or apparent use.
If you're in the gains group, you'll repeat speculation until you enter the losers' group, if not, you'll take one more step.
6. Denial
This can't be happening. The money you invested, the time... 90% of it just disappeared, just like that. You try to find someone to blame. You go on Twitter or YouTube and demand that your money be returned. No one listens to you, and you see many others doing the same thing, all of whom are ignored. There's no response from the creator or creators of Xcoin.
In the end, it was all your fault, and you accept that you lost your money. You played a stupid game... and won a stupid prize.
7. Disinterest
Once you've reached this point, there's no turning back. There's no shitcoin that attracts you, nor does Bitcoin. For many, this is a moment of total cyber nihilism (speaking of Bitcoin and "crypto"). Depending on how much you've lost in one of these new generation casinos, you are more or less resilient to even be interested in this technology.
8. Disgust
Many people stay at this point. They are not open to any idea that has to do with "magic internet money"; Everything seems like a scam, a fraud. It's a shame that because of a few scoundrels and charlatans, opportunities are taken away from people who are desperately seeking a way out of the current monetary system.
If you live in a privileged country, where you can afford to lose a couple of thousand dollars, have a tantrum for a few days, and then forget about it... You're lucky.
Many people even put their life savings at stake, in order to play the lottery and try to make quick money. Those people, as we saw with the infamous TerraUSD and Luna; FTX Fiasco, etc… Not only lose their money but also their sanity.
What's next?
There is a way out, if you're optimistic about the future. Living with your mistakes is the easiest thing to do; learning from them and moving on is what will lead you to find the right answer.
Being a millionaire isn't bad, but even being a millionaire without a purpose will leave you exposed and unprotected against the existentialist thoughts that this life has for you.
Bitcoin
You probably first heard of it during the waves of Bitcoiners back in 2012-2015. Or maybe on social media, but you decided not to pay attention because you didn't understand what you were reading or hearing.
Curiosity and skepticism were also part of this journey. If this journey crossed paths with your journey into the world of "Crypto," you may be even more closed off to taking the time to understand Bitcoin and what it represents.
9. Learning
This was and still is one of the most interesting steps for me, mainly because in theory, you never stop learning things within the whole ecosystem of a global protocol. The technology surrounding Bitcoin is always evolving.
From the moment you make your first purchase on a centralized exchange, you begin a fairly arduous research process (if you're a good investor) to know what you are buying. It is at this point that you realize that Bitcoin is more than just a way to invest for the future; it is a way to exit the current system. You came for the returns on your investment and stayed for something that is many levels above: global wealth redistribution.
10. Evangelization
When you know something very important, you want to tell everyone. Many will think you're foolish, while others will simply ignore what you say; but there will always be someone who understands what you're saying or at least tries to understand it. Those people will go through a process similar to yours, or perhaps they will skip all the weeds that is "Crypto" altogether, thanks to you.
Thanks to you, there will be many people who won't have to go through the pain of losing their money and time in these casinos. Give yourself a pat on the back, because in this last step, you are helping to build a better world.
In conclusion I created this writing not as a manual, but rather as a journal of my own experiences. I hope that in some way, it inspires you to do something that helps expand the horizons and hopes of many others.
21 million is a very interesting number.
