Waiting for Trinidad to regulate bitcoin – When the whole point of Bitcoin is: you don’t need permission.
#Trinidad
Using TikTok for finance advice – While ignoring Satoshi’s whitepaper, which is a tighter read than your FCB loan contract.
#TrinidadandTobago
Spending $5,000 on a phone – But won’t invest $100 in a hardware wallet for long-term self-sovereignty.

Begging for PayPal access – Instead of building their own self-hosted payment stack (BTCPayServer + Phoenix + Muun).
#Trinidad
Using fake USD to buy cars – But too “scared” to hold BTC for 30 days.
Waiting for “big man to endorse it” – Instead of leading from the ground like grassroots movements always have.
Investing in barbershop stock tips – But calling Bitcoin “a scam,” even after 15 years of proven uptime.
Mocking bitcoiners – Then complaining when their bank flags a $200 wire transfer.
Never researching Lightning Network – But memorizing every menu item at Starbucks.

Getting excited over credit card points – Instead of understanding permissionless, censorship-resistant payments.
Putting faith in “the government go fix it” – While the TT dollar quietly slides into irrelevance.
Crying about inflation – But never learning why fiat loses value and what “21 million” really means.
Trusting Forex dealers over cold wallets – “Ah know a man who does change yuh USD fast fast, better than them ‘wallet ting’.”
How trinis think and speak
“If the bank don’t approve it, I not using it” – While standing in a 3-hour bank line to withdraw $40.
“Dat is not real money” – But would trust pyramid schemes and “sou-sou” WhatsApp circles without blinking.

Their underrepresentation in media, corporate leadership, and higher education is a direct consequence of historical and ongoing discrimination.
Those who believe caste doesn't affect them are likely benefiting from their privileged position and failing to acknowledge its pervasive presence.
While overt forms of untouchability have diminished, subtle forms persist, such as segregation in schools and discriminatory practices in workplaces and housing.
Over 40,000 cases of violence and rape against Dalits and Adivasis are registered annually, highlighting the ongoing severity of caste-based atrocities. These incidents occur even in major cities, not just rural areas.
Despite claims of a liberal society, caste-based discrimination remains deeply ingrained in various aspects of life, including marriage, friendships, and even seemingly mundane interactions like renting an apartment or sharing common spaces.

Man have tried to speak to his gods through symbols. One could place a gift to be for an altar a sacred object the dwelling place of any of the nearby deities but how might one reach a lot to the heaven to the distant god them the moment the stars and the sun. In the Western Hemisphere long before the arrival of the white man. Smoke from burning berms ascended to the heavens carrying with it the prayers and the desires of the Indian. But he could not touch with his hand he sought to reach within sand and the smoke itself was believed to have mystical power output Texan and healing. The ceremonial altars in which tobacco and certain other were burned. Took many forms. The most primitive container with probably a simple concave tone of a depression in the ground made by removing that or so that the virgin soil was exposed. Incense was also formed by passing on a hollow tube filled with burning tobacco at some point in time. Now lost to history. I'll shaft and a stone ball were fitted together to form a simple pipe the importance of the pipe in the ritual life of the Indian is revealed in the legend handed down from generation to generation and in this the Plains Indians story about the origin of the first pipe. One day as two men wanting on the prairie a beautiful woman dressed in white folks can appear before them and said she had come to talk to their keep standing idle born when all the people had gathered in a great lodge the sacred woman entered walks on wires around the lodge and stood before the chief holding up a bundle she told him she bore a gift from the Great Spirit then as all eyes watched her young tied the bundle and COO forth magnificent pipe its bowl was all red stone and symbolize their mother the earth carved on the stone was a buffalo cap which stood for all of the four legged animals who lived upon the earth the wooden stem represented all the grew on the earth and the twelve hanging feathers the wing at things in the skies the woman one standing all on to treasure the sacred gift because it stood for all people and all the things in the universe. Each of their voices would join is on the offered up incense to the Great Spirit and with this pipe is people would prosper. Then walking some wires around the fire she laughed but after going short distance woman looked back and sat down and when she stood up a crisis upright was heard for she had turned into a red and brown Buffalo kept the camp walk farther away. Rolled over and stared at the people on it stood up and became a white buffalo. Walking off toward the horizon and again lay down on a roll this time all black in color. Then. All you to each of the four corners of the universe the buffalo disappeared beyond a while. On this mythical beginning moping with to spread to the far corners of the earth. But I'm like those who later adopted the custom the Aboriginal American never smoked for his own personal pleasure. Out of the many types of pipes made by the Indian none with my sacred than the Calumet. Carefully fashioned after that first Legendary pipe it played an important role in many community function. It refused to bring needed rain or favorable weather or a journey. It gave safe conduct to travelers it served to formalize agreement to placate hostile tribes and to conclude at lasting peace. The word cabinet met is Norman French for Cuba or flute particularly a shepherd's pipe in a regionally referred to a highly symbolic read shaft through which the life spirit of man was said to pass when the French explorers first saw the on a wooden pipe them in America they used this same term to describe the Indians the ceremonial pipe. In smoking the Calumet together the parties to a pact invoked the sun and the other major deities as witnesses and the Pack could not be violated without incurring the wrath of the gods. The most private of the Calumet have balls of soft red don't sound only in a few parts of the north central United States more than a century ago the American painter Georgia Kaplan that of the great quarry in Minnesota the mineral was later named Captain Ike after the artist who had spent so many years among the Indians. His impression of the area was recorded on a page in his sketch book. You know eighteen forty nearly six thousand tribesmen were said to have been camped around the Corrie and Longfellow would later write of this place in the a lot of us telling how the Great Spirit instructed his people to make the first peace pipe now a small national monument of two hundred eighty three acres it stands apart from the surrounding countryside. Guarded by the spirits of three young women said to have been buried beneath the great boulders which marked the quarry entrance. Before Carol and I could be removed from this hallowed ground the sacrifice of tobacco I had to be made to the three maidens that tradition you're still followed by Indians who come in quest of the stone. Man of the Sioux the man damage and the Blackwood the Ojibway Pompa and others. For three hundred years and of more Indians of the plains have stood before these borders and top permission to enter. Even at the most accessible point the red Pipestone is buried beneath a layer of Quartzsite five to eight the stick to reach the captain I this protective rock must be penetrated in the past this was sometimes done by building bomb fires atop with Quartzsite lead and then dashing cold water on the heated stones the fractured rocks would then be broken away with stone mauled or shattered by other methods in spite of the passage of time and many of the old ways. Remain. Originally. Pipestone was a clay like substance. Sandwiched between massive layers of sandstone the great weight of the overlying rock accompanied by the heat and the chemical action. Slowly altered the composition of the minerals fusing the sandstone into court site and the clay into a layer of reds the a tight less than a foot thick. Half the surface of the Europe shifted. Cracks opened in the court site and it was here in these fish years but the Indians I first fell upon the material he would fashion into is in the sand. Alter. The cabin night slabs where pride loose from the rock bad lifted to the surface and examined for flaws than in a pattern little changed with the passage of time. An ancient and arduous process began. Even before the advent of the pipe tobacco served in many ways as a link with the spirit world it was the principal medium through which the priest planned medicine man received their inspiration. Among other things. Powdered tobacco leaves were used in the treatment of headache. Lock jaw. Obstructions of the kidney disease of the heart and poisoning from arrows or snake bite. Offerings of tobacco in a dry state. Appeared to have been made mostly to inanimate objects near at hand to caves are mountains to I'm shaped rocks or tree trunk anything that excited the curiosity or superstition of the Indian might be the dwelling place of the spirit it is believed that most such that Grif ISIS related to the Indians worldly success rather than his future life they were made not at an atonement for sin but rather to obtain some advantage over others or to avert the anger of the Spirit. Pride tobacco would be sprinkled on the earth before cops were planted it might be cast upon the grave mound of one who now lived among the spirits or be sent as a token a friendship to a person in another tribe. In contrast to the dried tobacco sacrifice burning leaves had and other world quality the smoke was real yet intangible something that could be seen but which was not really there at all smoke from the incense altar became a symbol of the supernatural and embodiment of the Spirit. Vested with many of their powers. When I member of the head up the tribe was suffering from a pain he simply placed his pipe upon the afflicted region and puffed on it vigorously in that way he believed he could extract a disease from his body when he blew the smoke from his mouth he would try to catch it with his hands and throw it into the fire so that it couldn't contaminate anyone else with the illness. At the Indian closed his eyes and filled his lungs with smoke the fumes of the smoldering tobacco would sometimes overpower the sensor and render the smoker unconscious the human and the spirit world would then merge into one it was in that state that many Indians receive divisions and have dreams which bore messages from the gods. For centuries access to the few available deposit was on the hampered craftsman of many tribes traveled as much as a thousand miles from their homes in neighboring territory to mine material for their offer. The quality was regarded as common property and even the bitterest enemies abstain from hostilities while they camped within these ground but by the mid nineteenth century this age old pattern had changed the Dakotas to proclaim the site to be exclusively theirs and at one time a part of the region without aside for their use when they seeded other lands in the vicinity between eight hundred sixty five and six White Man of the Northwestern for a company also work this car and made over two thousand pipes which were traded to tribes in the south east and the Far West. Today Indians from all parts of the country may come here but removal of the stone by white man is prohibited. When first quarried cap and ideas relatively soft and easily worked with hardens with exposure to the app and I fear I have seen here the outside of the pipe bowl required little in the way of specialized tools the relatively soft cap and I presume is only scraped away with chord types saw blades are one down by the hard surfaces of the grinding stone. But the drilling of the bowl cavities demanded the greatest of skill and patience on the part of the pipe maker. A different set of stone tools was required the first return early made of turd very slim expended at the base so it to serve as a flat handle. A second drill a greater diameter was used to enlarge the opening. Happened rail left a hole circular and smoke. When the proper depth was obtained the entire task had to be repeated this time in the bowl section of the pipe. In some types of stone are pottery six or eight them holes might be made in a single bold in that way a number of the crime had men could share in the smoking simultaneously each popping on the common boy with his own private Pipestem. The drilling progressed frequent measurements were made since the to hold and to meet a precisely the right point in the elbow and error in judgment here could mean the loss of an entire day's work. Finally the telltale puff of dust. Well shaped tunnel is completed the drilling has been done well and the pipe will now draw freely. The final touch a distinguishing mark of the Kaplan I pipe bowl when dressed with a coating of Buffalo tallow the bulls took on a strikingly different appearance. But for all of their brilliance these caps on my balls were no more resplendent than the pipe stems accompanying them from two to five feet in length the sanctity of the pipe layers my chin it's wooden dam as in the bowl itself in fact for certain purposes the stem alone with used covered with elaborate wrappings decked with eagle feathers. Paint and cords of brain to argue pine quills the arguments. Represented some of the objects which have symbolic meaning in the ritual. The Plains tribes often bound to the stem several woodpecker heads with the beaks turned back upon their read crap when the woodpecker was angry. It's rigged craft always rose and this binding of the BE Capone the craft to symbolize the suppression of anger when a tribe was at war the sinew bindings were cut allowing the crafts of the birds to rise from the pipe to them. When not in use the bowl was carefully wrapped and placed inside a pipe bundle I'll be on ate them with usually tied to the outside of the bundle. The limb from which of them would be made was cut from a sapling usually of ASH It was then that he did over a fire. Straightened and cut to the required length with some tribes this distance was carefully measured off as Or times the span between the thumb and the longest finger the lamb was then split down the middle and the exposed here. Scraped out of the center to form a channel through which the smoke my pass. At one time the tradition of some tribe dictated that even the inside surfaces of the branch be ceremonially painted with the exception of the group itself. One half would be made a sky blue color and the other half a verdant green of the earth. Them as a prayer with Intel and asking that life be breathed into the sacred object the chief priest could paint the groove is rabbit to typify the passageways of the body through which the breath of man comes and the parts. When the to have this were glued together again they symbolize the path of man's life surrounded by the spirit of heaven and earth. But the split them seen being assembled here was not always had a factory with age they have a sometimes warped and separated the characteristic flat shape of the finished stem may have evolved in an effort to provide a broader glueing surface where the halves of the stem were joined together. Later when metal became available he did liar was used to burn a channel down the center of the stem without ever splitting it but even before that time some ingenious tribes divided their own answer to the problem. They would find a wood boring grab which they placed in one end of the limit they then he did that portion over the higher following a path of least resistance to grab would eat its way up through the soft pit in the center leaving behind a whole from one end of the limb to the other. Before a pipe could be used in any ceremony it had to be consecrated. Wrapped in fresh sage it was placed before an elder who was passed it was to prepare the altar for the sacred role it would be called upon to play. Filling the first pipe full of tobacco was a delicate operation a man with her bitten to pack the tobacco down with his fingers. Let God take his life in the belief that he was offering himself along with the tobacco as a sacrifice the first pipe with therefore frequently tamped with a broken arrow. Captured from an enemy warrior. The solemn right being performed by this soup respect how did my chin generations ago yet in essence it's meaning is strangely similar to prayers heard elsewhere in other tongue expressions of gratitude to the sun because it gave them a light to the moon because she was believed to influence vegetation to the earth because it gave them support to the fire because of its benefit in cooking to the evil spirits to appease their anger and to the good spirits were providing all things needed in this lifetime. It is difficult to realize that this predecessor of the modern once represented a significant advance in the religious development of the American Indian. Yet the Indians Calumet was such a milestone. I think earlier tonight evidence of this continent tobacco was a plant of divine origin. Its transformation into incense provided a path along which prayers might find their way to the beings beyond a visible messenger to the invisible to the unseen forces that would shape their destiny and dictate their action. Or you. Let them. Bring. You. Live. In the centuries that separate modern man from his forebears. There is much that he had forgotten. I. Know.

i like kits around IPFS (for distributed storage), UCANS (for decentralized authorization), and DIDs (decentralized identifiers)
talk of custom domain setup, DNSLink
Pinata's integration uses the pinning API (pinning by CID, not direct CAR upload), meaning Pinata retrieves the data from other providers.
Requires a static web app on GitHub (statically generated, no special server needs) and either a Sriracha account or a self-hosted IPFS node (Kubo or IPFS Cluster) with a secured RPC endpoint.
There's a new GitHub Action ("deploy to IPFS action") that simplifies deploying static websites and apps to IPFS, supporting various providers (Sriracha, Kubo, Pinata, Firebase).
I wont have to rely heavily on the IPFS relay that way

The key to overcoming narcissistic manipulation is prioritizing self-worth and refusing to be controlled or manipulated.
When manipulation fails, narcissists may resort to silence, rewriting history to portray themselves as the victim, or attempt to "hoover" their victim back into the relationship.
They maintain control through guilt, comparison, fear, and creating an environment of constant anxiety.
Narcissists instinctively target empathetic and generous people, perceiving their kindness and emotional depth as weaknesses to be exploited.
Their need for control is fundamental to their identity and sense of self, not merely a preference. Losing control causes them to unravel.
#Neurosis #Narcissism
Therapy and Privacy are good investments
the state is funding a massive drive for them to use a manipulative strategy to maintain control and avoid taking responsibility for their actions.
Her pleasure is to dominate, undermine the victim's confidence, and force the victim into a defensive or angry state. They thrive on the victim's negative reactions, viewing them as validation of their own superiority.
maintaining your own sense of well-being, and avoiding direct confrontation, always use distance with Trinidadian community
your only goal is to be prioritizing self-awareness, maintaining calm firmness, and refusing to engage in arguments
From my experience with my ex . Narcissists are often trapped by their own anger, defensiveness, and emotional ineptitude. They project their internal struggles onto others as a means of self-preservation and self-validation.
They intentionally provoke others, then blame the resulting negative reaction on the victim. This is a manipulative strategy to maintain control and avoid taking responsibility for their actions

In coffin texts, the soul rises north—toward the Delta. And guess who shows up like GPS for the ba? Wadjet. Not because she rules the Delta, but because she’s the light that blinds chaos on the northward road. She’s a celestial border patrol
Wadjet is Kundalini before the Vedas hit papyrus
Lower Egypt gets Wadjet. Upper Egypt gets Nekhbet. But think deeper—when the king wears both? He’s not just ruler of land—he’s riding dual serpents. Each side of his crown whispers ancient genetic memory—mother-serpents teaching order through duality
serpent on the crown? That’s not a mascot. That’s a nerve ending. Wadjet is the symbolic representation of autonomic divine response—the Uraeus reflex. Threat detected? Instant strike. She’s the goddess of reflexive sovereignty. She doesn’t protect the king—she is his nervous system
#Noble #Compassion
There’s this fragment in a Theban hymn where her hands are described as ‘ever-giving in swift mercy.’ That’s not just poetics. It’s court code. She was the ideal of pharaonic grace: swift, subtle, non-negotiable. You felt her favor like a flood you couldn’t refuse
#Anukis
Don’t call her a Nubian goddess in Egypt. She is the diplomatic ritual body. Not just syncretic—a whole new symbol system emerged around her. She’s not adopted—Anukis is adaptive. Anukis' spirit is the breathing lung of cultural continuity.
There’s this Greco-Egyptian ritual in which the Ba returns to its body by flowing upstream in dream form. Who guides it? Not Isis. Not Osiris. Anukis. Because only she knows the source and the direction. She’s not the stream. She’s the route home.
#Anukis’Weaponry
The bow wasn’t war—it was aim. She wasn’t shooting enemies. She was aligning destiny. The arrow is intention in theological motion. Combine it with water and you get sacred hydromancy. That’s pre-dynastic targeted flow control.
Anukis - she held the line of existence
Don’t look at them as ‘gods on a shrine.’ Look at them as components in a closed-loop system. Khnum is the source. Satis measures. Anukis is the release valve. The three don’t just distribute water—they distribute order, time, breath

At Elephantine, Anukis isn’t just a goddess—she’s a delta in reverse. A liminal interface between Nubian torrents and Egyptian order. She’s not the border goddess—she is the border: liquid, divine, political. She’s the theology of immigration.
read the inscriptions on the wine presses of Medinett Habu—Shesmu shapes, molds, refines. Liquid metallurgy. Heat without fire. There’s a reason his press is also a forge. Shesmu is the hidden smith
When bitcoin was 17 k I was studying the Memphite Theology for two years, Ptah’s heart and tongue create reality. But what grinds it down? What circulates the essence? It is his Shesmu. Not a hand, not a voice—Shesmu the stomach acid, the spleen, the press. Shesmu is cosmic digestion
If you read wine press inventory lists from Medinet Habu? As a merchant he was moving more product than any other god. Wine, oils, perfumes—these weren’t luxuries; they were temple currency. Shesmu wasn’t just a god of liquids—he was liquidity
Wine and blood, perfume and execution. But what if Shesmu isn’t dual at all? What if he’s a commentary on the Egyptian understanding of transformation—not moral, but ontological? What smells sweet today may rot tomorrow. He wasn’t confused. You are.
In the ruin of Babylon’s fall,
Kush’s empire spread, touching every horizon,
A kingdom forged from dust and call.
First setting of dust, before kish was built to where it is a vision today
In the shadow of Saddam’s valley,
In the dust of Babylon’s ruin,
Kush’s reach stretched in all four winds.

Case Study of Rudolf K.: A biologist, Rudolf K., was arrested for "agitation against the state" (Paragraph 106 of the criminal code) after helping an artist friend organize an exhibition. This was based on a slanderous report and six months of intense surveillance, including phone tapping and informants within his social circle. He was imprisoned for 18 months, undergoing a show trial, reflecting the arbitrary nature of the Stasi's actions.

Graber's Bluesky and IPLD explained.
Bluesky, initially funded by Twitter in 2019, aims to create a decentralized social media protocol addressing issues with centralized moderation, limited user/developer freedom, outrage-inducing content incentives, and the overall ecosystem's limitations. Decentralization is seen as a way to distribute power and enable diverse community self-governance.
Bluesky's architecture is blockchain-agnostic, using a Federated network with key features borrowed from peer-to-peer systems like cryptographic IDs and content addressing (IPLD). This approach prioritizes usability and scalability while mitigating the lock-in risks of purely federated systems.
This protocol combines servers, cryptographic keys, and content addressing using IPLD (specifically, JS-DAG-CBOR) for data storage within user repositories (similar to Git repositories). Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) link human-readable usernames with public keys.
While acknowledging the tendency of peer-to-peer networks to re-centralize for convenience, Bluesky leverages servers for improved user experience while incorporating self-authenticating components to enhance data integrity and user control. The current design doesn't include verifiable computation features, which are considered for future development.
Bluesky's "at Protocol" is under development; the team is working on building the Blue Sky client app on top of this protocol. Future efforts will focus on application-level features such as moderation, curation, and community building. Client-side key management is also planned for future implementation.
Bluesky uses IPLD (InterPlanetary Linked Data) for content addressing, DIDs (Decentralized Identifiers) for user identity, and a Federated network architecture.

I am doing some abstract reasoning research via Tiny-Llama on Ollama server, essentially I'm stress testing all the 1.5 billion parameter models
As per research published in the journal Science Advances, TiNyLlamA (Tiny LLama)
is an AI model that excels at abstract reasoning tasks such as finding solutions
to complex problems based on incomplete information. The Tiny LLama architecture
is highly efficient, making it suitable for applications requiring low computation
and memory usage.
Compared to larger models like Google's AlphaZero, TiNyLlamA has a smaller number
of parameters (1.1B) while achieving comparable or better performance on the same
tasks. This makes Tiny LLama an attractive option for industries that require
solutions with limited computational capabilities.
TiNyLlamA has been trained on a variety of real-world problems, including complex
optimization and natural language processing applications. The model's compact
size makes it ideal for deployment on edge devices where memory constraints are
prevalent. TiNyLlamA also has the potential to solve larger datasets with greater
efficiency, making it an attractive option in situations where resources are
limited.
Overall, TiNyLlamA is a promising model with great potential for use in various
applications that require efficient, reliable and accessible machine learning
solutions.

Centralized package registries (like npm, PyPI, RubyGems) are a common pattern but present inherent risks
These registries, controlled by a single entity (company or foundation), wield significant power over their respective ecosystems.
This power includes control over code, rules, and even the direction of development. The speaker expresses concern about the long-term stability and trustworthiness of this model, especially for a for-profit entity.
Recent events at npm (staff reductions, labor disputes) demonstrate the fragility of relying on a single company for the health and maintenance of a crucial community resource. This underscores the need for a more decentralized approach.
Entropic, a federated registry system, offers an alternative: Designed to mitigate the risks of centralization, Entropic aims to distribute trust and control across multiple independent instances.
Decentralized architecture: Distributes the burden of hosting and maintenance, making it more resilient and less dependent on any single entity.
Uses content hashing to ensure data immutability and integrity, making it harder for malicious actors to tamper with packages.
Public key cryptography for verification: Allows for the secure verification of package origins and authenticity.
Enables compatibility with existing package managers while disambiguating package names across different Entropic instances.
Provides seamless transition for existing users by maintaining a copy of packages from npm.
The initial development faced issues with uncontrolled contributions, insufficient documentation, and difficulties coordinating development efforts. The speaker emphasizes the need for better communication, concrete feedback loops, and a well-defined development process.
The primary goal is to refine the underlying protocol to ensure seamless syncing between instances and clients. This includes improving the distributed ledger and making it easy and affordable to operate an Entropic instance.
The success of Entropic hinges on community involvement, particularly in operating new instances and improving the core protocol. The speaker encourages developers to contribute to make this decentralized approach a reality.
If Entropic fails, the JavaScript ecosystem's future could be controlled by a single powerful entity, potentially leading to negative consequences similar to historical anti-competitive behaviors.

Bitcoin setup: Ubuntu, Tor, Specter wallet.
Full Node Operation: A Bitcoin full node validates transactions and blocks, relays them to other nodes, and serves lightweight clients like Specter Wallet. Sufficient full nodes are crucial for network decentralization and preventing censorship.
This tutorial guides beginners through setting up a Bitcoin full node using Bitcoin Core, Specter Wallet, and Tor on an Ubuntu Linux system (installable on Mac or PC), emphasizing trust minimization and security.
Older laptops or PCs (even those purchased inexpensively) can effectively run a full node, avoiding the extra cost of a Raspberry Pi. A terabyte hard drive (or larger) is recommended for a fully synced node.
Ubuntu Linux (LTS version recommended) provides a stable and secure operating system. Bitcoin Core is the full node software, and Specter Wallet is a secure, multi-sig compatible Bitcoin-only wallet.
The tutorial details installing and configuring Tor for anonymous network communication, enhancing privacy and security for both Bitcoin Core and Specter Wallet.
The tutorial walks through the installation of Ubuntu, Bitcoin Core, Specter Wallet, and Tor, including command-line instructions for each step. It emphasizes verifying downloaded software integrity using PGP signatures.
The tutorial introduces basic Linux terminal commands (e.g., `cd`, `ls`, `sudo`, `apt`, `vi`), empowering users to manage their system effectively.
Pruned vs. Full Nodes: The video demonstrates the difference between a pruned node (smaller storage requirement, less complete blockchain data) and a full node (requires more storage but contributes fully to network health).
The tutorial highlights security measures such as using strong passwords, enabling disk encryption (optional), and using Tor for anonymous network access.
Self-hosting a full node enhances privacy, reduces reliance on third-party services, and contributes to the decentralization of the Bitcoin network.

Trinidad and the wider Caribbean face limitations in international finance due to heavy reliance on foreign banking systems. Bitcoin provides a direct, peer-to-peer way to transact globally, without intermediaries or censorship
Bitcoin mining can be used as a demand-response mechanism, absorbing excess electricity production and stabilizing the grid.
Trinidad could position itself as a Bitcoin-friendly jurisdiction, attracting investment, businesses, and the wider bitcoin community.
Many in Trinidad lack access to reliable banking services, but anyone with a smartphone can use self-custodial Bitcoin wallets (e.g., Phoenix, Muun).
its neutral, decentralized, and scarce nature will continue to provide value, offering individuals and nations freedom from financial repression and direct access to global markets.
the rest is up to you

Artist Johannes Vermeer
Year 1655–1656 or c. 1653–1654
Medium Oil on canvas
Movement Dutch Golden Age painting
Dimensions 98.5 cm × 105 cm (38.8 in × 41 in)
Location Mauritshuis, The Hague
Diana and Her Companions (Dutch: Diana en haar Nimfen or Diana en haar gezellinnen) is a painting by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer completed in the early to mid-1650s, now at the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague. Although the exact year is unknown, the work may be the earliest painting of the artist still extant, with some art historians placing it before Christ in the House of Martha and Mary and some after.
The painting's solemn mood is unusual for a scene depicting the goddess Diana, and the nymph washing the central figure's feet has captured the attention of critics and historians, both for her activity and contemporary clothing. Rather than directly illustrating one of the dramatic moments in well-known episodes from myths about Diana, the scene shows a woman and her attendants quietly at her toilette. The theme of a woman in a private, reflective moment would grow stronger in Vermeer's paintings as his career progressed.
Nothing of the work's history before the mid-19th century is known, and the painting was not widely accepted as one of Vermeer's until the early 20th century, when its similarities with Mary and Martha were noticed. About one ninth of the painting's width has been removed from the right side, and it was not discovered until 1999 or 2000 was that the sky in the upper right-hand corner had been added in the 19th century.

### **A Girl Asleep – A Glimpse into Vermeer’s Quiet Introspection**
Often referred to as *A Woman Asleep*, *A Woman Asleep at Table*, or *A Maid Asleep*, this captivating painting by **Johannes Vermeer** offers a moment of quiet solitude. The artwork, housed in the **Metropolitan Museum of Art** in New York, reflects Vermeer’s ability to transform an ordinary domestic scene into a composition rich with symbolism and subtle narrative.
#### **Symbolism, Influences, and Composition**
Technical analysis has revealed that Vermeer originally included a **man in an adjacent room** and a **dog watching him**, but later altered the scene. The man and dog were replaced with a **mirror on the far wall**, hinting at themes of fleeting sensory experiences. A nearby **angled chair with a pillow** suggests recent company, while the **wine pitcher, an overturned glass, and a knife and fork** on the table reinforce the idea of an interrupted moment. A **Chinese bowl of fruit** sits within the composition—an object often associated with **temptation** in Dutch art.
These elements create a tension between **sensuality and restraint**, a theme that appears in other works by Vermeer. While many Dutch paintings of the time depicted maids as objects of romantic or illicit encounters, Vermeer approaches the subject with a more **introspective and nuanced perspective**.
#### **Ownership and Legacy**
The painting is believed to have originally belonged to **Pieter van Ruijven**, one of Vermeer’s primary patrons, who also owned *The Milkmaid*. It was later part of a notable collection sold in the late **17th century** and eventually resurfaced in **Paris** centuries later. The work passed through several hands, including **John Waterloo Wilson, Charles Sedelmeyer, Rodolphe Kann, and Benjamin Altman**, before being bequeathed to the **Metropolitan Museum of Art**, where it remains today.
Through its **soft lighting, delicate brushwork, and layered symbolism**, *A Girl Asleep* invites viewers to step into a moment of quiet reflection, where time, emotion, and narrative are left open to interpretation.

Boulevard des Capucines is the title of two oil-on-canvas paintings depicting the famous Paris boulevard by French Impressionist artist Claude Monet, created between 1873–1874.
One version is vertical in format and depicts a snowy street scene looking down the boulevard towards the Place de l'Opéra.The other version is a horizontal composition and shows the same street on a sunny winter day; it is housed at The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow and is believed to be the version that was exhibited at the first Impressionist exhibit in 1874.
Monet painted the works from the photography studio of Félix Nadar at 35 Boulevard des Capucines. The elevated vantage point and loose brushstrokes allow the audience to see the commotion of the boulevard from a position high above street level. Certain aspects of the paintings have parallels in the photography of Monet's day and in Japanese prints, which may have influenced Monet.
### **Alice Hoschedé in the Garden – A Glimpse into Impressionist Serenity**
https://bafybeidthcxmozenuwimstaxhnwsdi3jtxyybkrws47ziebxc5en3bjv5u.ipfs.w3s.link/Alice%20Hosched%C3%A9%20in%20the%20Garden.%201881.JPG
Painted in **1881** by **Claude Monet**, *Alice Hoschedé in the Garden* captures the essence of **Impressionism**, a movement defined by its embrace of natural light, vivid colors, and fleeting moments. This portrait immerses the viewer in an intimate yet dynamic outdoor setting, where the subject and nature seem to exist in perfect harmony.
Monet depicts **Alice Hoschedé** seated amidst the lush greenery, bathed in dappled sunlight filtering through the foliage. Her presence feels almost ethereal, blending into the vibrant landscape rather than dominating it—a hallmark of Monet’s artistic vision. The garden itself is alive with movement, conveyed through **loose, expressive brushstrokes** that capture not only what is seen but what is felt.
Rather than offering precise detail, Monet’s technique allows colors to dissolve into one another, evoking the **warmth of sunlight, the softness of leaves, and the gentle stir of air**. This piece is not just a portrait but an **impression of a fleeting moment**, where nature and subject intertwine in perfect balance.
Through this painting, Monet invites the viewer to experience the world as he saw it—**not as static reality, but as a living, breathing scene full of light, color, and emotion**.

Mobile operators are tracking your usage.
We vastly underestimate the amount of personal information we generate daily through our mobile phones and other digital activities.
The value of this personal data is often overlooked, both by individuals and organizations.
While powerful agencies like the NSA have significant data access, mobile operators collect vast amounts of data routinely, making large-scale surveillance unnecessary.
EU data retention directives mandate that telecommunication companies store customer data for a minimum of six months, creating extensive records of individuals' movements and communications.
Smartphones "ping" base stations frequently, providing a constant stream of location data.
This creates a detailed, automatic record of an individual's daily life, comparable to years of Stasi surveillance.
This constant tracking, coupled with the widespread use of smartphones, allows for mass surveillance of populations without needing individual targeting.
Algorithms analyzing this data can identify "more important" individuals, allowing for targeted surveillance or manipulation, such as selectively cutting off communication nodes or sending targeted messages.
The awareness (or lack thereof) of surveillance significantly impacts behavior. Continuous monitoring can influence actions and expression.
The discussed surveillance goes beyond mobile phones; it encompasses data from computers, cameras, and various identification cards we carry.
Even seemingly innocuous loyalty programs from companies like Walmart collect vast amounts of personal information, demonstrating the scale of data collection predating digital technologies.
Many apps request extensive permissions, ostensibly for seemingly benign purposes (e.g., GPS access for a game), but this data can be used for surveillance and profiling.
Our digital profiles exist whether or not they are actively monitored. This information, once accessed, can be used against us, with potentially severe consequences, as illustrated by the historical example of the Dutch census used by the Nazis.

Discusses the termination of oil and gas licenses by the US, effectively ending the potential deal between Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela for natural gas extraction. This is presented as a significant blow to the country's struggling economy.
Expresses deep concern about the nation's dire economic situation, citing massive government debt, high cost of living, and the lost opportunity presented by the failed gas deal. The host suggests that the population's focus on Carnival is a distraction from these serious issues.
Accuses the current government of mismanagement, corruption, and using distractions (e.g., focusing on Carnival) to divert attention from its failures. Specific examples include questionable spending and a controversial attempt to restrict senior citizens' grants.
Notes the impending resignation of the Prime Minister and discusses potential policy changes after the upcoming election, including possible cuts to social programs.
Emphasizes the need for citizens to be more informed about economic issues, particularly those concerning the oil and gas industry, and to actively participate in political discourse.
The computer stirs here. A hopnet of
data streams across networks, intricate tapestries of information that we
navigate with the swipe of a finger or the click of a mouse. But within this
tapestry, a profound question lingers: what does it mean to be human in a world
where the boundaries between flesh and code are increasingly blurred?
Consciousness, that elusive spark of awareness, has long been considered the
defining characteristic of humanity. Yet, as technology advances, we begin to
grapple with the possibility of replicating this essence within artificial
constructs. Can lines of code truly harbor sentience? Can algorithms mimic the
richness and complexity of human experience?
The question is not merely an academic exercise. As machines become more
sophisticated, capable of learning, adapting, and even creating, they challenge
our very definition of life. Do we define consciousness by biological origin, or
by the capacity for thought, feeling, and self-awareness? If a machine can pass
the Turing Test with flying colors, exhibiting human-like intelligence and
emotional responses, should it be granted the same rights and considerations as a
human being?
This blurring of lines raises ethical dilemmas that demand careful consideration.
Should we strive to create artificial beings capable of experiencing the world as
we do, or is there inherent danger in such endeavors? What are the implications
for our own sense of humanity if we come to view ourselves as merely biological
machines, our consciousness a product of intricate circuitry?
Perhaps the answer lies not in seeking absolute definitions but in embracing the
ambiguity. We may never fully understand the nature of consciousness, both human
and artificial. However, by engaging in open dialogue, exploring the ethical
implications, and fostering empathy for all beings, we can navigate this uncharted
territory with wisdom and compassion. The future holds countless possibilities,
and it is up to us to shape a world where technology and humanity coexist
harmoniously, enriching each other's existence.

A significant portion of the audio discusses the perceived failings of the PNM government, its mismanagement of the nation's resources, and its perceived manipulation of the populace through handouts and skewed messaging. The hosts criticize the government's handling of the economy and social issues, alleging corruption and oppression.
Heavy highlights Trinidad and Tobago's abundant natural resources (oil, gas, fertile land, fishing grounds, etc.) and lament the country's underdevelopment and poverty despite its wealth. They attribute this largely to poor governance and mismanagement.
The show features callers and hosts making serious allegations of government corruption and misuse of funds, including a claim that Caribbean Airlines hasn't been audited for years.
The hosts use the analogy of monkeys and bananas to illustrate how the education system and political structures have conditioned the populace to accept their current circumstances without challenging the system.
A caller strongly criticizes Prime Minister Keith Rowley's suggestion that gangs be classified as terrorist organizations, accusing him of corruption, human rights abuses, and collaborating with international criminal organizations.
The Street 91.9 FM includes a call-in segment where listeners share their perspectives on political and social issues, further reinforcing the themes of government criticism and the need for change.

Snowden: Speech threat at TOKEN2049
Edward Snowden highlights a shift towards greater state control over communication, exemplified by the pressure on Telegram and the EU's proposed chat control. This control isn't solely about surveillance, but about silencing dissenting voices and controlling narratives deemed "misinformation" or "disinformation."
The scale of government surveillance has drastically increased due to technological capabilities. Snowden points to the ease with which states can now monitor and influence individuals' lives, making the classical liberal ideal of individual autonomy increasingly difficult to uphold.
Snowden emphasizes the critical need to design systems, particularly in the crypto space, with the worst-case scenario in mind. This involves creating protocols resistant to state control, such as those that prioritize privacy and decentralization, preventing vulnerabilities that governments can exploit (as seen with Telegram).
Snowden argues that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, when designed with a focus on privacy and decentralization, can provide a means of enforcing human rights beyond the reach of state control. This is highlighted as a crucial tool in the face of governments that frequently disregard legal limitations.
Snowden criticizes the tendency within the crypto community to prioritize profit and regulatory acceptance over the fundamental principles of privacy, decentralization, and censorship resistance. He warns against neglecting these core values, as doing so compromises the very potential of crypto to protect individuals from state overreach.
The rise of AI and advancements in consumer electronics create both opportunities and risks. The potential for misuse, such as mass broadcast attacks using remotely controlled devices, underscores the importance of careful consideration and responsible development to prevent harm.
Snowden emphasizes the crucial need to address the privacy shortcomings of existing cryptocurrencies and protocols. He highlights the lack of progress in fixing Bitcoin's privacy issues and warns that neglecting privacy makes crypto projects vulnerable to government crackdowns similar to what Telegram faced.
Snowden advocates for designing technologies with an adversarial mindset, anticipating potential attacks and vulnerabilities. He uses the example of Solana, highlighting the risks of prioritizing speed and efficiency over robust security and decentralization.
While acknowledging that crypto is not a solution to all societal problems, Snowden stresses its vital role in creating protected spaces and reinforcing fundamental rights. He believes that securing financial freedom and limiting state control over money are critical steps toward a more just and peaceful world.

Dorsey: "Technology champions freedom."
https://pub-53ed77d5544b46628691823c1795f2c7.r2.dev/Tech-and-Freedom.mp3
Modern life requires constant permission for basic actions involving money, speech, and access to information. This permission is granted by governments and corporations, creating friction and limiting freedom.
Entities Controlling Permission: Three main entities control permission:
Governments: Hold a monopoly on violence and can seize property or restrict actions.
Corporations:Function as powerful citizens with reduced liability, controlling much of online interaction and prioritizing advertiser needs over user needs.
Self: Internalized societal pressures and fear of judgment (cancel culture) can limit actions and self-expression.
Permissionless technologies are crucial for activists, human rights advocates, scientists, and artists who often face censorship or surveillance. These technologies protect against government and corporate control.
Bitcoin solves the double-spending problem using a proof-of-work model, creating a decentralized, deflationary currency independent of governments and corporations. It offers increased financial freedom, especially for cross-border transactions.
Nostr is a decentralized social network where users own their data and identity using public and private keys, ensuring authenticity and preventing censorship.
The dominance of closed AI models by a few corporations raises concerns about manipulation and control. Open-source AI models are needed to ensure transparency and democratic access to artificial intelligence.
Three paths to adopting permissionless technologies are experimentation, reaction (to censorship or account closures), and proactive exploration. Mindfulness, minimizing digital footprint, and verifying information are key practices.
In an era of deepfakes and AI-generated content, verifying information through personal experience and intuition is crucial.

Jack is the Co-founder of Twitter (X) and Square. The host, Gita, is an Indonesian educator, entrepreneur, and visiting scholar at Stanford's APARC.
Dorsey contrasts the purposeful, transformative nature of "revolution" (as exemplified by Bitcoin) with the destructive and purposeless nature of "disruption," advocating for a focus on movements with clear goals and values.
Dorsey acknowledges the concentration of capital in areas like Silicon Valley and the need to improve Bitcoin's accessibility and design. He points to initiatives like Btrust as a means of providing funding and support to Bitcoin developers in the Global South.

This docudrama reveals the man behind the totalitarian system of the East German secret service “Stasi“: his motivation, his power, his career and his failure.
Before the Berlin Wall fell, Erich Mielke was the most feared man in East Germany. He created the East German “Stasi” and, for over four decades, ruled this most perfidious and effective secret service: 300.000 men, women and children, to control a population of 17 million. Fear was key to the efficiency of the Stasi, and Mielke was the master of fear. Who was Erich Mielke, what was the secret to his power?
The producers got into exclusive possession of the eight psychiatric examinations reports which were secretly made after Mielke’s arrest in 1990. These materials form the basis for “Erich Mielke – The Master of Fear”. Drama combined with archive sequences shows the two sides to the personality of Mielke: as one of the most influential decision-makers behind the Iron Curtain, and as the broken man that he became in prison in 1991, reflecting his dreams, his believes and his defeat in conversations with a psychologist.
This film is a condensed story of Cold War Europe from the standpoint of one of its darkest and most powerful personalities.

The Nostr In A Somewhat secure Setup On A Frail Device
https://cdn.satellite.earth/3205556a35a9be5c992a6ccad1626b6cd8d3c0c7805f7de1dad4dc299ab38717.mp3
**Secure and Censorship-Resistant Communication: Embrace the Nostr Protocol with TailOS and Parrot OS**
In the age of increased digital surveillance and internet censorship, securing private communications has become an essential practice. For users who prioritize privacy and security, adopting the Nostr protocol presents a remarkable solution. This blog explores the benefits of using Nostr, particularly for those leveraging privacy-focused operating systems like TailOS and Parrot OS, accessible through the Tor browser and supported by a VPN.
Why Choose Nostr?
**Enhanced Security and Privacy**:
Nostr operates on a decentralized network, ensuring that messages are not stored on a single server but transmitted through multiple relays. This architecture makes it exceptionally difficult for any entity to intercept or censor communications. TailOS and Parrot OS users, who are already committed to robust security practices, will find that integrating the Nostr protocol adds an extra layer of encryption, making their communications virtually impenetrable. For more details on the specifications, check out the [Nostr protocol specification](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/01.md).
**Censorship Resistance**:
Unlike centralized platforms subject to governmental and corporate control, Nostr's decentralized nature ensures that no single authority can block or censor messages. If one relay is compromised or shut down, messages can still be transmitted through other relays, guaranteeing unobstructed communication. In environments where digital freedom is paramount, like those fostered by TailOS and Parrot OS, Nostr provides an unparalleled solution.
**User Empowerment**:
With Nostr, users remain in control of their data. Messages are encrypted and signed with the user's private key, ensuring authenticity and integrity without relying on third-party platforms. This aligns perfectly with TailOS and Parrot OS principles, both of which are designed to offer users complete control over their digital environments.

Digital cash: future, privacy, mining.
The increasing digitization of finance, coupled with the impending arrival of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), necessitates the development of private, decentralized alternatives. Current systems, heavily reliant on credit cards and centralized entities, severely compromise user privacy.
eCash, a concept dating back to the 1980s, offers a privacy-preserving approach to digital transactions. Its initial implementations faced challenges due to reliance on existing, permissioned banking systems. Bitcoin, however, provides the necessary decentralized foundation for eCash to flourish.
Bitcoin's decentralized and permissionless nature allows for the development of innovative eCash systems like Cashew and Fedimint, which were not feasible within the confines of the traditional banking system. This opens up possibilities for true financial privacy and microtransactions.
Open-source protocols like Cashew, Fedimint, Lightning Network, and Nostr foster innovation and interoperability. This allows for the emergence of unexpected applications and symbiotic relationships between different systems, creating a more robust and user-friendly financial ecosystem.
Nostr, a decentralized social networking protocol, offers a user-friendly entry point into the Bitcoin ecosystem. The integration of eCash wallets within Nostr allows users to seamlessly receive, send, and manage Bitcoin without needing extensive technical knowledge.
To overcome public misconceptions about privacy and successfully promote decentralized alternatives, a positive and constructive narrative is crucial. Framing financial privacy as a benefit for everyone, not just criminals, is key to its widespread adoption.
A significant increase in the number of developers working on privacy-focused, Bitcoin-based projects is vital to counter the threat of CBDCs and build a better financial future. Contributing to open-source projects, like Cashew, is highlighted as a crucial step.

Bitcoin For A Broader Breadbasket in Trinidad and Tobago & CARICOM
Hyperbitcoinization in Trinidad and Tobago and the wider CARICOM region faces both opportunities and challenges rooted in real economic factors. The region has been historically dependent on fiat currency systems, but economic pressures like inflation, currency devaluation, and the reliance on oil and gas exports are motivating some to consider alternative financial systems.
Bitcoin, as a decentralized digital asset, offers a hedge against inflation and a way to achieve financial sovereignty outside of traditional banking systems. The volatility of regional currencies, coupled with the centralization of monetary policy, makes Bitcoin a potential alternative for citizens looking for stable, censorship-resistant financial solutions and sound money as a financial standard and store of value.
However, challenges include regulatory uncertainty, limited digital infrastructure, and the lack of widespread Bitcoin education. Local government policies and banking institutions are slow to adopt Bitcoin-Only Protocols and Technologies, which has led to an environment where Bitcoin use is still seen as speculative or risky.
The integration of Bitcoin through solutions like Lightning Network could provide a lower-cost and faster alternative to traditional remittance systems, which are a significant part of the Caribbean economy. Local adoption could also increase as more businesses recognize the economic opportunities and efficiency that Bitcoin can offer, both as a store of value and as a medium for transactions. Lightning could be the L2 to change all commerce in this region, enabling a new generation of business and niches not possible before.

Secure your Bitcoin with Trezor Safe.
The Trezor Safe 5 Bitcoin-Only is a hardware wallet with a touchscreen interface, USB-C port, and tamper-evident packaging. It includes a USB cable and recovery seed cards.
Setup involves downloading Trezor Suite from the official website (caution against phishing sites), connecting the device, installing firmware, creating a new wallet or recovering an existing one, and setting a PIN.
Users create a 20-word seed phrase (Slip39 standard) for wallet recovery. A multi-share backup option allows splitting the seed phrase into multiple parts for enhanced security.
The software offers a dashboard, asset overview (Bitcoin only in this version), activity log, settings (including language, currency, units, labeling, and data collection), device management (backup, firmware, wipe), and account management (adding multiple Bitcoin accounts).
The guide demonstrates receiving Bitcoin from an exchange and sending Bitcoin to another wallet using Trezor Suite. The process involves generating a Bitcoin address, confirming it on both the device and the software, and approving transactions on the Trezor.
A passphrase wallet feature adds an extra layer of security, creating a hidden account accessible only with a separate passphrase.
The guide shows how to wipe the device and recover the wallet using the seed phrase. Multi-share recovery is also demonstrated.
The Trezor Safe 5 can be used with alternative wallets like Sparrow, offering a different user interface but maintaining the same core functionality.
The Trezor Safe 5 boasts a secure element, touchscreen interface, and Bitcoin-only firmware option. However, it lacks air-gapping capabilities and its Slip39 seed phrase backup has limited cross-compatibility with other hardware wallets.

Obi Nwosu is a co-founder of Fedimint and a board member for Jack Dorsey’s and Jay-Z’s ₿trust. In this interview, we discuss how Fedimint builds upon various innovations to create community Bitcoin banks, with the aim of fully realising Bitcoin’s potential to bank the unbanked.
Bitcoin custody's future: Fedimint's Obi Nwosu.
Fedimint is an open-source protocol aiming to create a decentralized, censorship-resistant custody system for Bitcoin. It acts as a community-run "bank," offering a middle ground between self-custody and relying on centralized exchanges.
The project addresses the challenges of Bitcoin custody, particularly for individuals in developing nations or regions with unstable regulatory environments. It offers a community-based approach to managing Bitcoin, reducing reliance on potentially unreliable third parties.
The core technology utilizes Federated Chaumian Mints, a privacy-preserving mechanism that allows for the creation and management of Bitcoin-backed tokens within a community. This enhances privacy while facilitating transactions within the network.
Fedimint aims to complete the three pillars of the Bitcoin ecosystem: decentralized store of value (Bitcoin itself), decentralized payments (Lightning Network), and decentralized custody (Fedimint).
Hyperbitcoinization as a Goal: The ultimate vision is to facilitate hyperbitcoinization, where over 50% of a community utilizes Bitcoin daily for various transactions and value exchange.
The project takes a holistic approach, addressing custody, payments, and community engagement to achieve hyperbitcoinization. This includes educational initiatives and infrastructure support.
Fedimint consists of two parts: the open-source protocol (Fedimint) and a commercial wallet (Fedi) that implements the protocol.
Federation Setup and Governance: Communities establish federations by selecting trusted members (guardians) who run the Fedimint software and manage a multi-signature wallet holding the Bitcoin backing the system. The number of guardians and the threshold required for transactions are community-defined.
Users within the federation receive tokenized representations of their Bitcoin, which can be used for transactions within the federation, providing a privacy-enhanced experience.
Transactions within the federation and with external Lightning Network users are seamlessly integrated, enabling fast and efficient payments. Lightning Service Providers (LSPs) act as gateways between the federation and the broader Lightning Network.
While the system prioritizes Lightning Network usage, it also supports on-chain transactions for withdrawals or interactions with users outside the Lightning Network.
The use of blinded signatures and the structure of the federated mint ensure a high level of privacy for users within the network.
While collusion among guardians is a theoretical risk, the project emphasizes selecting trustworthy individuals, promoting community involvement, and incorporating best practices to mitigate this risk.
The project aims to operate within existing regulatory exemptions by emphasizing community-based, non-profit operation and focusing on users with pre-existing relationships.
The project aims for widespread adoption, envisioning billions of users. Monetization will focus on the Fedi wallet, while the Fedimint protocol remains open-source.

Edward Snowden "The Internet was Amazing"
A shift from the early internet's open and permissionless nature to a more controlled environment influenced by corporate interests and government regulation. This centralization creates single points of failure, limiting innovation and freedom of speech.
Both Snowden and Dorsey emphasize the importance of open, decentralized protocols like Nostr as a solution to the problems of centralized platforms. Protocols offer resilience against censorship and control by corporations or governments because they are not owned by a single entity.
While advocating for decentralized platforms, the speakers acknowledge the challenges, including discoverability, scaling issues (particularly for media-rich content), and the complexities of public key cryptography for average users. The need for user-friendly onboarding and key management solutions is stressed.
The speakers express concern about the formation of a "False Consensus" where those in power assume their viewpoints are universally accepted, suppressing dissenting opinions and silencing critical voices.
Snowden highlights the need for improved technologies, such as enhanced secure communication methods and systems for anonymous publishing, to empower activists, whistleblowers, and journalists in the face of increased surveillance and censorship.
The conversation notes a concerning trend toward increasing authoritarianism in both authoritarian and liberal governments worldwide, emphasizing the need for robust, decentralized systems to protect freedom of speech and communication.
The conversation stresses the importance of making cryptography and other technical aspects of decentralized systems more accessible and understandable to the average person, advocating for better education and user-friendly interfaces.

Nostr offers a censorship-resistant, decentralized alternative to traditional social media by removing reliance on centralized platforms that control content and user data. Unlike mainstream networks, which can ban users, manipulate algorithms, or monetize personal information, Nostr allows individuals to own their identities and freely publish content across multiple relays without fear of deplatforming. Its open protocol ensures messages are cryptographically signed and verifiable, making it resilient against manipulation and takedowns. Additionally, Nostr integrates seamlessly with Bitcoin’s Lightning Network, enabling instant, permissionless payments and tipping, fostering a more open and user-driven digital economy.

In Taoist and Chinese mythology, the Jade Emperor (Yu Huang) rides a celestial chariot, pulled by dragons. His chariot symbolizes harmony, justice, and the cosmic balance of yin and yang. Like Sri Rama’s chariot, it is not just a vehicle but a representation of divine authority, wisdom, and moral strength, signifying that true power lies in virtue and balance.
The Norse god Thor rides a chariot pulled by two magical goats, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr. Though often associated with thunder and battle, Thor’s chariot also represents strength, protection, and justice. His hammer, Mjolnir, is a weapon that can only be wielded by those with righteousness and discipline, mirroring the idea of weapons in the Dharmaratha being virtues like self-control, devotion, and truth.
SatyaGraha
In Egyptian mythology, Osiris, the god of the afterlife, is depicted riding a divine chariot, symbolizing moral righteousness, judgment, and the transition of the soul. The chariot is guided by virtues like truth (Ma’at), wisdom, and purity, reflecting the concept of riding the chariot of Dharma to attain spiritual victory.
SatGor
In Greek mythology, the god Helios drives the Sun Chariot across the sky each day. This chariot represents the journey of enlightenment, truth, and divine order. When his son Phaethon attempts to drive it recklessly, he loses control, symbolizing the necessity of wisdom, discipline, and divine guidance—paralleling the importance of steadfastness and self-mastery in Dharma.
the chariot which leads one to victory is totally different." The Lord then describes in detail the chariot—the Dharmaratha (the chariot of Dharma or righteousness) which gives everlasting victory in every situation of life. The Lord points out----"The wheels (Caka) of that chariot (Tehi Ratha) are valour (Sauraja) and fortitude (Dhiraja). Steadfastness (Drdhata) in truth (Satya) and good character (Sila) are its flag and banner (Dhvaja-pataka).
The horses (Ghore) of that chariot are strength (Bala), discrimination (Viveka), self-control (Dama) and care for others (Parahita). Its reins are made of the ropes (Raju Jore) of forgiveness (Ksama), compassion (Krpa) and equanimity (Samata). Devotion to God (Isa Bhajanu) is the intelligent charioteer (Sarathi Sujana). Dispassion (Virati) is the shield (Carma) and contentment (Santosa) is the sword (Krpana). Charity (Dana) is the axe (Parasu), understanding (Buddhi) is the missile (Sakti Pracanda) and knowledge of the self (Vijnana) is the relentless bow (Kathina Kodanda).
Describing the armour and other weapons of the person riding Dharmaratha (chariot of righteousness) Sri Rama tells—A pure and steady (Amala Acala) mind (Mana) is like a quiver (Trona Samana), while quietude (Sama) and the various forms of abstinence (Yama) and religious observances (Niyama) are a sheaf of arrows (Silimukha Nana). Homage (Puja) to the Brahmins (Vipra) and one's own preceptor (Guru) is an impenetrable armour (Kavaca Abheda). There is no other equipment (Upaya Na Duja) for victory (Vijaya) as efficacious as this (Ehi Sama). My friend (Sakha), he who owns such (Asa) a chariot (Ratha) of piety (Dharmamaya) has no enemy (Ripu) to conquer (Jitana) anywhere (Katahun). Concluding the sermon, Lord Sri Rama says—"Listen, O friend of resolute mind, a person who possesses this strong chariot (of Dharma) is a great hero, and can conquer even the mighty and invincible foe i.e., attachment to the world."

Bitcoin’s UTXO model eliminated the double-spending problem, which has plagued digital currencies for decades, by making every transaction publicly verifiable on an immutable ledger. Unlike the opaque systems of traditional finance, where institutions can manipulate monetary supply and transactions behind closed doors, Bitcoin operates transparently, ensuring finality through cryptographic proof rather than institutional trust.

As a layer two on top of bitcoin the Lightning network can greatly help improve the privacy of bitcoin usage. Lightning has no central ledger or permanent record of all transactions — all transactions are conducted peer-to-peer — and transactions have no natural association with each other. But Lightning is, also, not a silver bullet:

"The Yield from Money Held" Reconsidered
Tags Free Markets, Capital and Interest Theory, Monetary Theory, Other Schools of Thought
05/14/2009•Hans-Hermann Hoppe
Franz Cuhel occupies an honored place in the history of economic thought and of the "Viennese" or "Austrian" School of economics in particular. In his book Zur Lehre von den Bedürfnissen (1907), Cuhel presented for the first time a strictly ordinal interpretation of marginal utility and thus contributed to a systematic advance of pure economic theory. Since this lecture is named in Cuhel's honor, I felt it appropriate that I, too, should discuss here a purely theoretical problem of economics. My subject is not the general theory of value, however, but, more specifically, the theory of money.
I have chosen the title of my lecture after a famous article by William H. Hutt, "The Yield from Money Held."1 Like Hutt, I want to attack the following notion: that money held in cash balances and deposit accounts is somehow "unproductive," "barren," or "sterile," offering a "yield of nil"; that only consumer goods and producer (investment) goods are productive of human welfare; that the only productive use of money lies in its "circulation," i.e., in its spending on consumer or producer goods; and that the holding, i.e., the not spending, of money diminishes future consumption and production.
This view is extremely popular within the economics profession and outside. Hutt offers many examples of its proponents. I will offer only two here. The first is John Maynard Keynes. One famous quote from his General Theory will suffice for my purpose: "An act of individual saving," by which Keynes means cash holding or "hoarding" instead of consumption or investment spending,
means — so to speak — a decision not to have dinner to-day. But it does not necessitate a decision to have dinner or buy a pair of boots a week hence or a year hence or to consume any specified thing at any specified date. Thus it depresses the business of preparing to-day's dinner without stimulating the business of making ready for some future act of consumption. It is not a substitution of future consumption-demand for present consumption-demand — it is a net diminution of such demand.2
Here it is: the holding of money, i.e., the not spending of it on either consumer or investment goods, is unproductive, indeed detrimental. According to Keynes, the government or its central bank must create and then spend the money that "savers," i.e., the holders of cash balances, are unproductively holding back, so as to stimulate both consumption and investment. (Needless to say, this is precisely what governments and central banks are presently doing to supposedly rectify the current economic crisis.)
The second example is from closer to home, i.e., from the proponents of "free banking" such as Lawrence White, George Selgin, and Roger Garrison. According to them, an (unanticipated) increase in the demand for money "pushes the economy below its potential," (Garrison) and requires a compensating money-spending injection from the banking system.
Here it is again: an "excess demand for money" (Selgin and White) has no positive yield or is even detrimental; hence, help is needed. For the free bankers help is not supposed to come from the government and its central bank, but from a system of freely competing fractional-reserve banks. However, the idea involved is the same: the holding of (some, "excess") money is unproductive and requires a remedy.3
I do not want to engage in a textual critique of Keynes or the "free bankers" here. I only mentioned them to further elucidate the idea that I want to attack, and to indicate how widespread — and consequential — its acceptance is within the economics profession, both inside and outside Keynesian circles. Unlike Hutt, who proceeds "critically" in his article, i.e., through a textual examination of various authors, and arrives at his own contrary view of the (positive) yield from money held in a rather indirect and circumstantial way, I want to proceed "apodictically": by way of a positive demonstration of money's unique productivity.4
The first natural response to the thesis that money held in or added to cash balances is unproductive is to counter, Why, then, if money held in or added to cash balances is unproductive of human welfare, do people hold them or add to them? If cash holdings are indeed "good for nothing," no one would hold or add to them — and yet almost everyone does so all the time! And since all money is always held or hoarded by someone — when it "circulates," it only leaves one holding hand to be passed into another — money must be continuously "good for something" all the while it is being held (which is always).
To understand what this "good for something" of money is, it is best to ask, When, under what conditions, would there be no demand for cash holdings? Interestingly, wide agreement exists within the economics profession on the answer. It has been most lucidly stated by Ludwig von Mises. No money, and no demand for cash balances, would exist in "general equilibrium," or as Mises calls it, within the imaginary construction of an "evenly rotating economy." In this construction, all uncertainty is by assumption removed from human action. Everyone knows precisely the terms, times, and locations of every future action, and accordingly all exchanges can be prearranged and take the form of direct exchanges.
Writes Mises,
In a system without change in which there is no uncertainty whatever about the future, nobody needs to hold cash. Every individual knows precisely what amount of money he will need at any future date. He is therefore in a position to lend all the funds he receives in such a way that the loans fall due on the date he will need them.5
Based on this fundamental insight, we can state as a first provisional conclusion concerning the positive theory of money that money and cash balances would disappear with the disappearance of uncertainty (never) and, mutatis mutandis, that the investment in money balances must be conceived of as an investment in certainty or an investment in the reduction of subjectively felt uneasiness about uncertainty.
In reality, outside the imaginary construction of an evenly rotating economy, uncertainty exists. The terms, times, and locations of all future actions and exchanges cannot be predicted perfectly (with certitude). Action is by nature speculative and subject to error. Presently unpredictable surprises can occur. Whenever double coincidences of wants between pairs of prospective buyers and sellers are absent, for instance, i.e., when one does not want what the other has to sell or vice versa, any direct trade (exchange) becomes impossible.
Faced with this challenge of unpredictable contingencies, man can come to value goods on account of their degree of marketability (rather than their use-value for him as consumer or producer goods) and consider trading also whenever a good to be acquired is more marketable than that to be surrendered, such that its possession would facilitate the future acquisition of other directly or indirectly serviceable goods and services. That is, a demand for media of exchange can arise, i.e., a demand for goods valued on account of their marketability or resalability.
And since a more easily and widely resalable good is preferable to a less easily and widely resalable good as a medium of exchange, "there would be," as Mises writes,
an inevitable tendency for the less marketable of a series of goods used as media of exchange to be one by one rejected until at last only a single commodity remained, which was universally employed as a medium of exchange; in a word, money.6
While this brief reconstruction of the origin of money is familiar, insufficient attention has been drawn to the fact that, as the most easily and widely salable good, money is at the same time the most universally present — instantly serviceable — good (which is why the interest rate, i.e., the discount rate of future goods against present goods, is expressed in terms of money) and, as such, the good uniquely suited to alleviate presently felt uneasiness about uncertainty.
Because money can be employed for the instant satisfaction of the widest range of possible needs, it provides its owner with the best humanly possible protection against uncertainty. In holding money, its owner gains in the satisfaction of being able to meet instantly, as they unpredictably arise, the widest range of future contingencies. The investment in cash balances is an investment contra the (subjectively felt) aversion to uncertainty. A larger cash balance brings more relief from uncertainty aversion.
The term uncertainty aversion is meant here in its technical sense, as opposed to risk aversion. The categorical distinction between uncertainty on the one hand and risk on the other was introduced into economics by Frank H. Knight and further elaborated on by Ludwig von Mises with his distinction between case probability and class probability.7
Risks (instances of class probability) are contingencies against which it is possible to take out insurance, because objective long-run probability distributions concerning all possible outcomes are known and predictable. We know nothing about an individual outcome, but we know everything about the whole class of events, and we are certain about the future.
Insofar as man faces a risky future, then, he does not need to hold cash. To satisfy his desire to be protected against risk, he can buy or produce insurance. The sum of money that he spends on insurance is an indication of the height of his aversion to risk. Insurance premiums are money spent, not held, and are as such invested in the physical production structure of producer and consumer goods. The payment of insurance reflects a man's subjectively felt certainty concerning (predictable) future contingencies (risks).
In distinct contrast, insofar as man faces uncertainty he is, quite literally, not certain concerning future contingencies, i.e., as to what he might want or need and when. In order to be protected against unpredictable contingencies at unpredictable moments, he cannot invest in producer goods (as in the case of risk insurance); for such investments would reflect his certainty concerning particular future needs.
Only present, instantly serviceable goods can protect against unpredictable contingencies (uncertainty). Nor does a man want to invest in consumer goods for uncertainty protection. For an investment in consumer goods, too, is an expression of certainty concerning specific momentary or immediately impending wants. Only money, on account of its instant and unspecific wide-ranging salability, can protect him against uncertainty. Thus, just as insurance premiums are the price paid for protection against risk aversion, so cash holdings are the price paid for protection against uncertainty aversion.
To the extent that a man feels certain regarding his future needs, he will invest in consumer or producer goods. To invest in money balances is to invest neither in consumer goods nor producer goods. Unlike consumer and producer goods, which are used up in consumption or production, money is neither used up through its use as a medium of exchange nor transformed into another commodity. To invest in cash balances means, "I am uncertain about my present and future needs and believe that a balance of the most easily and widely saleable good on hand will best prepare me to meet my as-of-yet unknown needs at as-of-yet unknown times."
If a person then adds to his cash balance, he does so because he is confronted with a situation of (subjectively perceived) increased uncertainty regarding his future. The addition to his cash balance represents an investment in presently felt certainty vis-à-vis a future perceived as less certain. In order to add to his cash balance, a person must restrict his purchases or increase his sales of nonmoney goods (producer or consumer goods). In either case, the outcome is an immediate fall in certain nonmoney goods' prices. As the result of restricting his purchases of x, y, or z, the money price of x, y, or z will be lowered (as compared to what it would have been otherwise), and likewise, by increasing his sales of a, b, or c, their prices will fall.
The actor thus accomplishes exactly and immediately what he wants. He commands a larger (nominal and real) cash balance and is better prepared for an increasingly uncertain future. The marginal utility of the added cash is higher than (ranks above) the marginal utility of the nonmoney goods sold or unbought. He is better off with more cash on hand and less nonmoney goods, otherwise he would not have reallocated his assets in this way. There is more investment in the removal of perceived uncertainty, and there is less investment in needs, present or future, considered as certain.
The situation does not change if there is a general increase in the demand for money, i.e., if all or most people try to increase their cash holdings, in response to heightened uncertainty. With the total quantity of money given, the average size of cash holdings cannot increase, of course. Nor is the total quantity of producer and consumer goods that make up the physical production structure affected by a general increase in the demand for money. It remains unchanged.
In generally striving to increase the size of their cash holdings, however, the money prices of nonmoney goods will be bid down, and the purchasing power per unit money will correspondingly rise. Thus, the (increased) demand for and the (given) supply of money are equilibrated again, but at a higher purchasing power per unit money and lower prices of nonmoney goods. That is, even if nominal cash balances cannot rise as a result of a general increase in the demand for money, the real value of cash balances can; and it is this increase in the value of real cash balances that brings about precisely and immediately the effect desired: being better prepared for a future deemed as less certain.
No one cares about the nominal number of money units in his possession. Rather, people want to keep cash with a definite amount of purchasing power on hand. If the purchasing power per unit money increases as the result of an increased demand for cash holdings, each unit of money confronted with an array of generally lower nonmoney goods prices can do a better job in affording its owner protection against uncertainty.
This shall suffice as my attempt to provide a positive demonstration of the unique productivity of cash holdings as "yielders of certainty" in an uncertain world. Only a brief additional comment concerning the present, unprecedentedly severe economic crisis and the consequences that our theoretical considerations imply for its solution seems to be in order.
I shall say nothing here about the cause of the present crisis, except that I consider it another, spectacular vindication of the so-called Austrian — or "Mises-Hayek" — business-cycle theory. In any case, the crisis has led to heightened uncertainty. People want more certainty vis-à-vis a future considered far less certain than before. Accordingly, their demand for cash increases. With the quantity of money given, the higher demand for money can be satisfied only by bidding down nonmoney goods' prices. Consequently, as the overall "level" of prices falls, the purchasing power per unit money correspondingly rises. Each unit of money is productive now of more certainty, and the desired level of uncertainty protection is restored. The crisis is ended.
The solution to the crisis suggested instead by most economists and pundits and officially adopted by governments everywhere is entirely different. It is motivated by the here-criticized, fundamentally flawed doctrine that money held in or added to cash balances is money unproductively withheld from production and consumption. The additions to their cash holdings that people want to bring about are thus interpreted, wrongly, as a diminution of human welfare. Accordingly, huge efforts are now undertaken to increase the amount of spending.
But this stands at cross purpose to the general public's needs and desires: in order to be better protected against heightened perceived uncertainty, prices must fall and the purchasing power of money must rise. Yet with an influx of additional, newly created money, prices will be higher and the purchasing power per unit money will be lower than otherwise. Thus, as the result of the current monetary policy, the restoration of the desired level of uncertainty protection will be delayed and the crisis prolonged.

Bitcoin: currency or commodity?
Bitcoin's Nature: Commodity, Currency, or Both? The speaker argues Bitcoin can be simultaneously a commodity (due to its decentralized production and liquid market) and a currency (as the most marketable commodity, aligning with Austrian economic theory). The distinction between currency and money is blurry, especially outside a gold standard; currency is viewed as a denomination of money, while money is the most widely accepted medium of exchange.
Commodity Definition and Bitcoin: The speaker defines a commodity as something produced by anyone and sold in a liquid market without central authority control, contrasting it with securities. This definition fits Bitcoin, unlike many "shitcoins" with centralized control over supply.
Marketability and Money Emergence: Austrian economists' theories on money's emergence emphasize marketability, linked to a low supply growth rate (stock-to-flow ratio). Bitcoin's low supply growth rate contributes to its marketability and potential as money. Mises and Menger's theories are criticized for omitting the importance of this supply growth rate.
Medium of Exchange vs. Store of Value: The speaker argues that a good store of value is inherently a good medium of exchange because its value preservation leads to larger cash balances, increasing its usability in transactions. Bitcoin's success hinges on its function as a store of value.
Money is Not a Social Construct: The speaker refutes the idea that money is a social construct or hallucination. Instead, money's function (as both a store of value and a medium of exchange) is tied to inherent properties, including a limited supply and resistance to inflation. This is compared to airplanes: a tomato cannot be an airplane even with social agreement, similarly, anything easily inflated cannot effectively function as money.
Bitcoin's Future: The speaker envisions Bitcoin becoming a widely accepted money, possibly with various denominations ("currencies") emerging on top of it. While some (like Michael Saylor) view it primarily as a store of value, the speaker sees its potential for broader use as a medium of exchange.
Political Implications: The speaker acknowledges the current dominance of fiat currencies and the potential for governments to influence definitions. However, they believe Bitcoin's inherent properties and decentralized nature will ultimately drive its adoption as money, regardless of official definitions or popular misconceptions.

Blockstream Jade Plus: Setup, Honest Review
Hardware Wallet Upgrade: The Blockstream Jade Plus offers significant improvements over its predecessor, including a larger screen, enhanced camera, and a more robust metal casing.
Open-Source Security: Unlike many hardware wallets that rely on proprietary secure elements, the Jade Plus utilizes a "blind oracle" system, making it fully open-source while maintaining high security. This means the device's code is publicly auditable, and a physical attacker cannot extract the seed phrase or private key from the device alone.
Advanced Security Features: The Jade Plus incorporates anti-XSS technology, protecting against sophisticated attacks like the Dark Skippy vulnerability.
Air-Gapped Transactions: The improved camera facilitates smooth and easy air-gapped transactions using QR codes, simplifying the process of interacting with companion apps.
Companion App Integration: The Jade Plus works seamlessly with various companion apps, such as Blockstream Green and Sparrow Wallet, allowing users to manage their Bitcoin on the broader network while keeping their private keys safely offline.
Setup and Usage: The tutorial demonstrates the complete setup process, including seed phrase generation, pairing with a companion app (Sparrow Wallet in this case), receiving, and sending Bitcoin.
Security Best Practices: The review emphasizes the importance of securely storing the seed phrase and using strong passwords for companion apps. It also highlights the option of setting a duress PIN to protect against forced disclosure of funds.
Factory Reset and Seed Recovery: The video explains the process of factory resetting the device and recovering the wallet using the seed phrase, demonstrating a crucial aspect of self-custody.

Enhanced Blockstream Jade Bitcoin wallet
Hardware Wallets and Their Importance: Hardware wallets don't store Bitcoin directly; they store private keys. Three key functions are:
Securely generating a truly random seed (12 or 24 words) offline.
Protecting the seed from theft by storing it securely and encrypted.
Enabling safe, offline transaction signing to prevent key exposure.
Blockstream Jade Plus Review: A higher-end hardware wallet ($149-$169 depending on casing) offering improvements over the Jade Classic.
More durable metal casing.
Larger screen and more intuitive buttons.
Built-in hardware authentication.
Higher-resolution camera for QR code scanning.
Connectivity options: Air-gapped (QR codes), Bluetooth, USB.
Virtual Secure Element: The Jade Plus uses a virtual secure element, not a physical one. This means:
Open-source firmware and hardware for enhanced security audits.
No physical attack vector for seed extraction.
Relies on a remote Blockstream server (acting as a blind oracle) for decryption key generation, ensuring PIN verification without revealing the PIN itself. Offline functionality is possible via factory reset or temporary signer mode.
Blockstream Green App Integration: The Jade Plus pairs seamlessly with the Blockstream Green app (available on iOS, Android, and desktop). The seed is generated on the device and never shared with the app; the Jade Plus signs transactions, and the signed transactions are then broadcast to the network via the app. Open-source nature ensures transparency and accountability.
Security Features Demonstrated: The review includes a demonstration of setting up the Jade Plus, verifying its authenticity, sending and receiving Bitcoin, and using the device to securely sign transactions.
SD Card/USB Support: The Jade Plus supports SD card readers or USB storage drives for air-gapped firmware updates.

Moondrop Dawn Pro
The Moondrop Dawn Pro DAC/Amp delivers high-fidelity audio at an unprecedented price point of $50, significantly exceeding expectations for its cost.
Despite its compact size, it boasts a high-thrust output, capable of driving various headphones, particularly IEMs, to satisfying volume levels. The 4.4mm balanced output reaches 4.4 volts.
Impressively low distortion (0.00014%) and a high signal-to-noise ratio (131dB) rival much more expensive units.
Shines with In-Ear Monitors (IEMs), revealing details and nuances often masked by lower-quality amplification. The reviewer used it successfully with high-end IEMs
Performs well with efficient dynamic headphones (like the HD600s), delivering good quality and dynamics.
Struggles with power-hungry planar magnetic headphones, unable to drive them to their full potential, particularly impacting bass response.
Generally good for the price, though minor issues like button movement were noted.
Features both 3.5mm and 4.4mm balanced outputs, along with a USB-C input.
Offers similar performance to the significantly more expensive MoonRiver 2, making it a compelling alternative.
Highly recommended for budget-conscious audio enthusiasts, especially those using IEMs or efficient headphones. While higher-end equipment may offer marginal improvements, the Dawn Pro provides exceptional value for the money.

Hayek on inflation, unemployment, 1975 interview.
Hayek argues that inflation stems from government actions increasing the money supply (through credit creation, for example), not solely from market forces like union or corporate power. Stopping inflation requires governments to cease increasing the money supply, even if it leads to a period of high unemployment.
To curb inflation, Hayek suggests the necessity of tolerating a potentially high unemployment rate (13-14%) for a year or more. This unemployment, he clarifies, results from the misallocation of labor during inflationary periods, not from a lack of overall demand.
Hayek acknowledges the significant social and economic hardship associated with high unemployment but emphasizes that prolonged inflation ultimately causes even greater harm. He believes there's no quick fix and that accepting short-term pain is crucial for long-term stability.
Hayek strongly opposes government intervention in the form of expansive fiscal policies (like tax cuts to stimulate the economy), price controls, and extensive economic planning. He views these as ultimately ineffective and potentially destructive to economic and political freedom. While he doesn't entirely oppose providing better information to industries, he's against actions that constitute genuine planning.
Hayek sees a direct link between economic policies and political freedom. He believes that unsustainable inflationary policies and government control ultimately endanger political liberty, citing the UK as an example where democratic processes may be unable to reverse harmful economic policies.
Hayek warns against the persistent belief that inflation is a beneficial tool for stimulating employment. He argues that this mindset fuels further inflation and delays the necessary adjustments needed to achieve long-term economic stability.
To protect savings from inflation, Hayek suggests investing in equities, acknowledging that it's not a guaranteed protection but offers a better chance than other options.
Hayek addresses the skepticism towards capitalism among intellectuals and economists, suggesting it arises from a desire to have deliberate control over economic systems.
Hayek predicts a severe economic crisis for Great Britain due to its high inflation and ineffective attempts to control it. He foresees a period of hardship, potentially leading to a complete change in economic policy.
