Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.

If two parties have some sort of dealings, then each has a memory of their interaction. Each party can speak about their own memory of this; how could anyone prevent it? One could pass laws against it, but the freedom of speech, even more than privacy, is fundamental to an open society; we seek not to restrict any speech at all. If many parties speak together in the same forum, each can speak to all the others and aggregate together knowledge about individuals and other parties. The power of electronic communications has enabled such group speech, and it will not go away merely because we might want it to.

Since we desire privacy, we must ensure that each party to a transaction have knowledge only of that which is directly necessary for that transaction. Since any information can be spoken of, we must ensure that we reveal as little as possible. In most cases personal identity is not salient. When I purchase a magazine at a store and hand cash to the clerk, there is no need to know who I am. When I ask my electronic mail provider to send and receive messages, my provider need not know to whom I am speaking or what I am saying or what others are saying to me; my provider only need know how to get the message there and how much I owe them in fees. When my identity is revealed by the underlying mechanism of the transaction, I have no privacy. I cannot here selectively reveal myself; I must always reveal myself.

Therefore, privacy in an open society requires anonymous transaction systems. Until now, cash has been the primary such system. An anonymous transaction system is not a secret transaction system. An anonymous system empowers individuals to reveal their identity when desired and only when desired; this is the essence of privacy.

Privacy in an open society also requires cryptography. If I say something, I want it heard only by those for whom I intend it. If the content of my speech is available to the world, I have no privacy. To encrypt is to indicate the desire for privacy, and to encrypt with weak cryptography is to indicate not too much desire for privacy. Furthermore, to reveal one's identity with assurance when the default is anonymity requires the cryptographic signature.

We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy out of their beneficence. It is to their advantage to speak of us, and we should expect that they will speak. To try to prevent their speech is to fight against the realities of information. Information does not just want to be free, it longs to be free. Information expands to fill the available storage space. Information is Rumor's younger, stronger cousin; Information is fleeter of foot, has more eyes, knows more, and understands less than Rumor.

We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. We must come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place. People have been defending their own privacy for centuries with whispers, darkness, envelopes, closed doors, secret handshakes, and couriers. The technologies of the past did not allow for strong privacy, but electronic technologies do.

We the Cypherpunks are dedicated to building anonymous systems. We are defending our privacy with cryptography, with anonymous mail forwarding systems, with digital signatures, and with electronic money.

Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless we all do, we're going to write it. We publish our code so that our fellow Cypherpunks may practice and play with it. Our code is free for all to use, worldwide. We don't much care if you don't approve of the software we write. We know that software can't be destroyed and that a widely dispersed system can't be shut down.

Cypherpunks deplore regulations on cryptography, for encryption is fundamentally a private act. The act of encryption, in fact, removes information from the public realm. Even laws against cryptography reach only so far as a nation's border and the arm of its violence. Cryptography will ineluctably spread over the whole globe, and with it the anonymous transactions systems that it makes possible.

For privacy to be widespread it must be part of a social contract. People must come and together deploy these systems for the common good. Privacy only extends so far as the cooperation of one's fellows in society. We the Cypherpunks seek your questions and your concerns and hope we may engage you so that we do not deceive ourselves. We will not, however, be moved out of our course because some may disagree with our goals.

The Cypherpunks are actively engaged in making the networks safer for privacy. Let us proceed together apace.

Onward.

There are some people out there, very terrible people, who are operating a disgusting propaganda campaign trying to convince people that I’m not zapping.

This is fake news. Everyone knows I’m a very generous zapper. Some are saying the most prolific zapper. They are.

Don’t believe the fake news media as they attempt to tarnish my reputation.

Whenever politicians clutch pearls or attempt to brow beat bitcoiners about money laundering it is important to remind them that the US government is the biggest money launderer on the planet.

The Treasury issues debt out of thin air, the money gets handed to the Department of Defense and they overpay defense contractors 900x for commonplace nuts and bolts, among other things. This leads to obscene profits for the war industry and they shave off a small chunk of those profits to ensure the politicians that will vote for bigger defense budgets stay in power. Rinse and repeat.

This isn’t confined to the war industry either. It happens across the spectrum. Another example is Operation Warp Speed, which was an example of the Federal government directly funding and obscenely overpaying for a COVID vaccine that poisoned people.

What we’re witnessing is the largest “looting of the treasury” in human history. Politicians and the corporate interests that back them are robbing the American people blind. Taking their money directly via taxes, indirectly via inflation and at the same time running up the biggest government debt bill the world has ever seen.

The politicians who enable this and then clutch pearls about bitcoin’s potential to enable money laundering are the scum of the Earth.

We are all being robbed in broad daylight and the thieves are making you out to be the criminal. Truly diabolical

The government is not your friend. It exist to strip you of your wealth and your freedom.

Release time!

In our biggest update yet, we've completely redesigned the home screen, added a nostr-based profile setup walkthrough, and have finished our initial fedimint integrations by adding a federation discovery & recommendations!

https://m.primal.net/HqfS.jpg

Most lightning wallets these days are what we call "invoice-oriented." We want to go back to the basics to solve what people are really trying to do: paying a person. We've added a new wallet creation flow to make the wallet about you!

https://m.primal.net/HqfT.jpg

The new version of Mutiny now allows you to create a new nostr profile, or import a nostr private key from an existing profile. From there, you can now DM other mutiny & nostr users to send or request money directly from the app. No more copy / pasting invoices!

https://m.primal.net/HqfV.jpg

To double down on social, we've redesigned our home screen to put people first. We now include a row of recent profiles for quick access. We also now have tabs on the home screen for looking at your payment activity, your friend's zap activity on nostr, and your payment requests.

Next up, better fedimint support!

Mutiny has had beta support for the fedimint protocol for a couple of months now. Instead of opening a lightning channel on your first receive, with a minimum of 100k sats, you can get started on a fedimint with just a few sats.

This new update adds a way to discover available fedimints to join. Naturally, the discovery process is powered by an open protocol built on nostr. You can see who recommends a federation, and add it with one click.

https://m.primal.net/HqfW.png

You'll automatically receive funds to that fedimint, as long as the amount is smaller than 200,000 sats, and you'll automatically spend out of that fedimint, with a fallback to your regular lightning balance. You can also swap from fedimint to your lightning balance at any time.

Coming up shortly after this release, we'll be adding federated lightning addresses that lock incoming payments to your key, which you may redeem at any point by coming back online. We'll be rolling this out to Mutiny+ users first, stay tuned!

Let us know what you think! We're excited about this new direction and need feedback to help us continue driving forward.

We got some questions about the gossip/outbox model, so I’ll clarify Primal’s position.

We like the outbox model. We think it will help nostr scale and become more censorship resistant. Primal will roll out support for the outbox model in several steps. We recently upgraded all Primal clients to manage relays per NIP-65. We are currently in the process of upgrading our clients to leave relay hints on all published events to make sure that outbox clients work well with the content published by our clients. Next we will randomize the default list of relays for new users to help spread content out. The final step will be to implement reading content directly from relays, which will be used in conjunction with our caching service.

Imho, the winning approach involves using the outbox model together with caching nodes, giving us the best of both worlds. I described this approach a year ago when we launched the preview of Primal:

The incumbent power structure hates bitcoin and that makes me happy.

They've lost the first string of battles, but will now try to frame bitcoin a particular way to ensure most people don't harness its true power; censorship resistance and verifiability.

"The Ten31 team, however, found many reasons for optimism this week in Austin, where our team participated in and led presentations at the PlebLab Startup Day and the SXSW Bitcoin Takeover at the Bitcoin Commons. The events were the latest reminder of how vibrant and robust the bitcoin ecosystem is, and it’s increasingly undeniable that the pace of development is accelerating across a variety of verticals from privacy software to payments technology to mining infrastructure. These technologies are all promising from an investment perspective, but more importantly, they will form a key pillar in preserving the liberties that we believe the vast majority of Americans regard as non-negotiable, and the founders behind them are not slowing down.

✨ Multinuteral payments – Pay a single Lightning invoice from Ecash balances on multiple Cashu mints.

We use Lightning multi-path payments (MPP) to achieve atomicity.

This has wild implications for UX and privacy and is a significant breakthrough for Cashu.

Most Cashu wallets have multiple small ecash balances across mints to minimize the custodial risk.

Paying a large LN invoice, however, was a pain. Amounts larger than any of your ecash balances required a multi-mint swap first (swap ecash across mints via LN).

Not anymore!

Instead of one big LN payment, wallets could send multiple small ones from a dozen different mints all running their own LN node.

Either all payments succeed, or all fail. The mints don't communicate with each other. Receiver doesn't notice anything.

Imagine the beauty of this.

This eliminates the need for inter-mint coin control almost entirely. Wallets could show the user one unified balance across all mints and handle it all hidden away from the user.

You simply scan an invoice and an orchestra of Ecash mints and Lightning nodes begin their play.

This is yet another cool example of how ecash can significantly improve the safety and security of custodial Lightning wallets.

The deep integration of Cashu with Lightning makes this possible. And we have more ideas.

This has been the thesis all along. Bitcoin will inevitably obsolete all other money and the road to total fiat irrelevance is paved by the dead bodies of all the weak currencies. The weakest currencies lie at the beginning of the road and the relatively strong ones will be keeled over toward the end of the road. At the end of the road is a throne and bitcoin is headed on a b-line toward to claim its crown.

An excerpt from nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy's  Marty's Bent that you should take a look at:

"These are two of the most bullish charts I have ever seen. They highlight that bitcoin is not merely competing with its base money competition, but it is already out-competing Fedwire. Let's take a look at the charts.

https://m.primal.net/HeVH.png

Here we have a chart of the trailing 12-month payment volumes on bitcoin and Fedwire. In 2023, Fedwire averaged ~530,000 payments per day and the trailing 12-month volume was 193,316,782 payments. Bitcoin almost doubled that volume with 367,044,946 payments over 2023. Matthew's calculations take change outputs out of the equation. When you spend bitcoin you make two transactions if you don't spend the full UTXO; one transaction goes to the person you are transacting with and another goes to a change address associated with your wallet. The change address address transaction isn't really an economic transaction, so it is taken out of the dataset. This chart would make bitcoin look more dominant than it already is if those transactions were included.

https://m.primal.net/HeVJ.jpg

Here's the chart of the 12-month trailing transfer value of Fedwire and bitcoin with the Fedwire supremacy ratio overlaid on a log scale. As you may imagine, at the current moment, the amount of value that Fedwire transfers and settles far exceeds the amount of value settled by the bitcoin network. Last year Fedwire transferred $1.083 quadrillion while bitcoin settled $1.36 trillion. Put another way, Fedwire moved almost 1,000 times more value in 2023. A wide gap to fill!"


Bitcoin seems to be scaling just fine at the protocol level. Especially when you compare it to its true competitors; other base monies and the rails they settle through.

Bitcoin is already settling ~2x the amount of transactions that Fedwire settles.

https://tftc.io/bitcoin-fedwire-comparison/


I have so much more respect for engineering solutions that can exist within current limitations. Push the boundaries before opening them up, and I think we still have PLENTY of maximizing to do within current limitations.


As the fees go up, ppl realize that bitcoin base layer is only for wire-transfer-like economical transactions. Plebs will be priced out.

The bitcoin hardware wallet business is still going to grow for a few years, then only going to shrink

It will be a nice high security niche

Security is the # 1 feature, not losing your coins is the most important thing, grandma UX focus is high time preference distraction, global south base layer will be silly.

There is also a huge opportunity for bitcoin backed eCash affordable hardware as these are bearer tokens.

Stop designing for today.


There's a lot of debate about whether or not bitcoin is currently scaling appropriately and I think many are missing the forest for the trees. Particularly when you benchmark bitcoin's success to Fedwire, which is the correct apples to apples comparison.

Matthew Meźinskis and I recorded this morning and Matthew presented these two charts and I think they may be the most bullish bitcoin charts I've seen in years.

Bitcoin's trailing 12-month transaction volume and value compared to Fedwire.

https://m.primal.net/HeJc.png
https://m.primal.net/HeJd.png

When you factor in batched transactions, bitcoin is already facilitating almost 2x the amount of transactions that Fedwire is on a trailing 12-month basis.

In terms of value settled on the bitcoin network, it still has a ways to go to reach parity with Fedwire, however the trend has been a consistent and aggressive march toward parity, with the Fedwire value transfer being 22,000,000,000x in 2010 and ~800x as it stands today.

If you dive into the numbers and compare bitcoin to its base money competitors, it is scaling incredibly well.

We testified in front of 27 representatives of US regulators that for us bitcoin it is a #freedomtech tool, that is why we believe that it is important to educate regulators in democracies and protect p2p bitcoin transactions/privacy payment mechanisms and PoW.

We have testified that it has cost activists the risk of kidnapping in EU countries, surviving torture, years of imprisonment or even political murder as a result of abuse of AML/CFT laws and #FATF compliance both domestically in authoritarian states and abroad where any dictator can easily obtain your banking data.

Most of the world is completely unaware that the global monetary system is built on a house of cards, better referred to as a Ponzi scheme.

Discrimination against a single industry like this has never been seen before. Important rip.

A must read. What the government is demanding of #Bitcoin  miners (under the threat of violence) is the most egregious, totalitarian thing I’ve ever seen when it comes to demands of private businesses. The Biden administration must be stopped at all costs.

If you are an operator in the bitcoin mining industry in the US it is imperative that you ignore this survey and tell the EIA, the Department of Energy, and the current administration to fuck off.

Here's what they have in store for you.

https://tftc.io/eia-bitcoin-mining-survey/


Currently diving into this edict from the EIA against bitcoin mining operations in the US. It is extremely Orwellian.

It seems like they are trying to create a hyper-detailed registry of miners in the US down to particular ASICs.

"Under a Bitcoin standard, earning bitcoin today will generally require less work than earning the equivalent amount of bitcoin in the future. Said another way, for the same amount of work you will earn less bitcoin in the future. This will emphasize the opportunity cost of foregoing bitcoin today for the prospect of bitcoin tomorrow (which will be harder to earn). When the objective is to accumulate as much of the 21 million fixed supply as possible, this will become a forcing function on a company's mindset for evaluating investments in growth."

Everyone should listen to this TFTC episode for a nice primer on how #Bitcoin started, and just how much trial, error, and failure preceded it. Understanding how refined the final product was, over decades, just further grounds one’s belief in #Bitcoin as being the perfect money. Also, I am a history dork, so I loved this listen even more. Shout out to nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy  and Aaron for the discussion. https://fountain.fm/episode/wbezWpRMbi69uOcHRnEU


We've released Mutiny version v0.5.7 which includes two notable changes.

Payjoin v1 support has been added. Huge credit to nostr:npub1yevrvtp3xl42sq06usztudhleq8pdfsugw5frgaqg6lvfdewfx9q6zqrkl over the last few months, for the improvements to the PDK library and getting it included into Mutiny! Thanks to Ben Allen too for testing.

https://m.primal.net/HZMq.png

We're really excited about the privacy gains here and for future improvements such as Payjoin v2. This should allow asynchronous payjoins, making it possible for a mobile user to payjoin with another mobile user.

We've also made some underlying changes to how NWC works in Mutiny. We've switched over all new connections to use our new strfry based relay instead of using the Blastr. This should greatly improve performance and speed, in addition to being able to better support consumer apps.

You may continue using your existing NWC connections, but for better reliability, you can delete existing wallet connections to recreate them on the new relay.

In the coming months, we should have a load of new nostr related features as well. Stay tuned!


I am thrilled to share my new essay

"Stranded: How Bitcoin is Saving Wasted Energy and Expanding Financial Freedom in Africa"

I was profoundly moved by what I saw on a recent trip to Kenya and Malawi.

If this essay can show you even 1% of what inspired me, that's a win… here’s an overview:

We begin in Bondo, a small town in Malawi, a country where only 11% of the population has access to electricity.

The nation suffers 6-8 hours of blackouts a day, but the power in Bondo is consistent because of Bitcoin mining.

The town got its first electricity in 2016, and now is expanding its grid, thanks to Bitcoin, which is buying 100% of the electricity that the micro-hydro stations cannot sell, and giving precious capital to the power company so it can expand operations.

At night, demand dwindles, and in remote places like Bondo, there’s no one else to buy the consistent hydro power.

Enter Bitcoin, powered by internet services like Starlink. A datacenter from Gridless now saves the wasted energy and is powering the community forward.

The big realization: virtually all power generation, especially in rural places, wastes energy.

Bitcoin fixes this.

We are told Bitcoin is a waste of energy but the truth is the opposite.

NOT Bitcoin mining is a waste of energy.

And the kicker: Bitcoin miners create heat.

This heat will be used for productive uses.

General heating in cold climates, and in a place like Bondo? Drying tea, fruit, or cocoa.

Profit from mining won’t just be profit - cost, it will be (profit + profit from externality) - cost.

For context: Malawi is a country that just suffered an IMF-led 44% currency devaluation.

Already one of the poorest nations in the world, where most people save in cash, now citizens can only afford 56% of what they could a few months ago. Per the IMF, more devaluation is on the way.

The kwacha is a disastrous wage technology. Once again, enter Bitcoin, a vastly superior savings mechanism.

The first Bitcoin meetup is happening in the Malawi’s capital this month. We are very early with adoption in this region—2020 in El Salvador terms—but this adoption will turn from a trickle into a torrent.

Up north in Kenya, Gridless has geothermal mines, too. I visited one.

It’s a remarkable site: a humming hut on the site of a lake with a Starlink on top, eating all of the electricity that a water pump does not use: perfectly solarpunk.

Kenya is the world’s largest exporter of cut flowers. There are tons of sites like this, generating power for irrigation, all over the country. All of them waste energy.

Geothermal is beautifully consistent, but the demand is not. Bitcoin fixes this.

Gridless operations like these are generally profitable within the first two years. Now there's biomass, where the company has just launched data centers at sugar and sisal processing factories which before couldn't find buyers for excess electricity.

But now Bitcoin is buying.

This sounds great so far…

But for the hundreds of millions of Africans who don’t have internet access, how are they supposed to benefit?

Enter KG, whose company Machankura provides Bitcoin access to people with no internet.

This is done through USSD — a SMS-type protocol.

The user texts a number, then gets a decision tree, and can send, receive, barter, and purchase a variety of things, all without data.

This is a custodial service for now — but KG and team have plan to make SIM cards signing devices and even Lightning touch points so that people can self-custody and be their own bank without the internet.

A true civilizational leap forward.

Critical: there are 700 million women in Africa, but very very few use Bitcoin.

Marcel Lorraine aims to change that.

A Kenyan entrepreneur who has fearlessly helping schools in Kibera, two years ago she launched Bitcoin Dada, a program to educate women and girls about Bitcoin.

Marcel runs classes every week, with several cohorts per year.

The task is huge but she insists on pushing forward.

She argues Bitcoin can give macro freedom for communities and countries, yes, but also micro freedom at home for women who traditionally take a back seat in finance.

Finally: independence from dependence is a key concept

Femi Longe, director of BTrust Builders, is trying to make that happen.

He’s running a program to train African developers and help them contribute to Bitcoin, to take careers in the industry or become contributors to core.

As Jack Dorsey says, if Bitcoin is going to be used around the world, it has to be made around the world.

Femi refuses to accept a future like today, where cars are made in the West and bought by Africans.

The Bitcoin infrastructure needs to be made in Africa.

The way these pieces could fit together is astonishing.

Unlike in the West, where adoption might mean centralized pools and ETFs, in Africa adoption will mean off-grid mining and potentially millions of self-custodying users, powered by SIM cards.

Africans need Bitcoin, yes.

But Bitcoin needs Africa.

That was blazing clear from my visit last month.

At the end of the day, who is going to help bring electricity and high-quality currency — the building blocks of progress — to hundreds of millions of Africans?

Bill Gates? The UN? The World Bank?

No, they won’t.

But Bitcoin might.

When states start ignoring federal energy policy like Texas is ignoring the DHS at the border right now we’re going to see an expansion of human flourishing like we’ve never seen before in human history. The vibe is shifting. We’re going to win.


On my flight home from the Bitcoin Energy & Mining Summit at @bitcoinpark. It was my favorite event of 2023 and this year did not disappoint.

It is becoming very clear that many in the energy sector fully grok bitcoin now and are eager to incorporate mining into their systems.

We’re using AI to create articles based off audio content. Seems a bit weird to attribute it to myself or the original creator. Trying to use “Staff” as a way to signal that it’s an AI produced article.

The goal is to get the people providing signal across the space and other sectors more exposure and to help them with back linking.

Still early days and we’re definitely discussing how to make this clear to people.

It's been a pretty exciting month for TFTC. We've been pushing out more content on the site than we ever have before. This content includes podcasts, news events, philosophy lectures, guides that will enable you to become more sovereign and productive, and much more.

The site is seeing more traffic than ever and we are extremely motivated  to continue leaning into this strategy to distinguish TFTC as a new type  of media company that provides our community with a mixture of content  produced in-house and curated content from many different sources. All in an effort to provide Truth for the Commoner.

Here are the five most read articles on the site this week and a few asks for anyone who is a fan of what we're doing.

We're going to win.

“The ultimate ends of the activities of reasonable beings are never economic. Money is one of the greatest instruments of freedom ever invented by man.”  - FA Hayek, The Road to Serfdom

There are many here that may not have heard about the #Gamestop drama in 2021 (from 1:05 of RHR 286). My take on this was actually very positive. My son is a gamer and was following the drama unfold. He bought some #GME and made a nice profit before the buy button was taken away to protect the suits. We talked through it all at the time and his final conclusion was that he’d probably not buy shares again and just stack sats. He continues to do this today.

I have a strong feeling his mates and generation will one day look at him to understand his secret sauce.

It may take time and a generation or two to get there, but as Marty says - we are winning!

To threaten people with a felony charge for not playing the role of tax collector on behalf of the IRS is one of the most despicable and insulting things that has come out of the US government in recent years.

https://tftc.io/irs-bitcoin-transaction-reporting/


My philosophy is based on the principle of self-ownership. You own your life. To deny this is to imply that another person has a higher claim on your life than you do. No other person, or group of persons, owns your life nor do you own the lives of others.

Latest Ten31 Timestamp
————————————
Legacy markets got some much-needed relief this week as benchmark government bond yields fell precipitously, the Fed maintained its rate-hiking “pause,” and softer updates on some key macro indicators gave investors reason to believe the worldwide central bank tightening cycle may be close to over. However, lost in the shuffle for many in the stonk casino was the latest quarterly report from the Treasury Department’s Borrowing Advisory Committee, which – surprisingly for a government agency – said the quiet part out loud by explicitly calling out declining organic demand for US Treasuries as institutions and nations around the world reckon with charts like the one above. Growing fault lines were apparent overseas too, as the Bank of Japan softened its yield curve control policy for the third time in under a year while the Japanese government passed a $110 billion stimulus bill to *checks notes* fight inflation. Finally, Swiss regulators and lenders met to discuss new capital controls that might be (read: probably will be) necessary to respond to bank runs in the future. It was an especially appropriate week, then, for the 15th anniversary of Satoshi Nakamoto’s publication of the bitcoin whitepaper, a zero-to-one moment for humanity and the foundation of a solution to the pitfalls of fiat currency. We fully expect the excesses and fragilities of late-stage fiat to compound further over the coming decade, but Satoshi’s innovation and the developers and entrepreneurs that continue building on it every day give us confidence that – in the words of Ten31 Managing Partner nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy – we’re going to win.

This seems pretty intellectual.


Jake Chandler in his paper “Defeat Reconsidered” (2013) developed the following counterexample: Outside the door to Sam’s flat is a switch for the light in the staircase. Flipping the switch (ES) typically causes the light to go on (PS): ES is a reason to believe PS. When there is a power cut (DS), ES loses this probative force. Thus, DS is a defeater for ES’s support for PS. It is also part of DS that there is backup power system that is activated (and automatically turns on the lights) when the main system fails. So, just like ES, DS provides a reason to believe PS. But there is an asymmetry: while DS is a defeater for ES’s support for PS, ES is not a defeater for DS’s support for PS (since the position of the switch is irrelevant). In this way, the previous principle (SYM) fails and, consequently, so does the traditional definition of defeater (DEF).
