It’s not a safe idea. If the one you borrowed your stack against goes broke, your stack is gone too.


It was mine assumption. I was thinking loud and hope someone proves my theory wrong.


Miners have to pay their bills every month, so they need to sell part of their mined Bitcoin holdings. This would, theoretically, put downward pressure on Bitcoin prices each month. Therefore, investors might think they just need to wait each month for Bitcoin to reach their desired price. But does waiting actually lead to a lower price over time? What is wrong with this assumption?

True. Nothing to lose. It's a win-win.


If you enjoy 'fishing' in trading, you can place spot buy orders at single digits. Volatility at its wildest—maybe it's your lucky week.


In Hosea 13:10, the prophet Hosea speaks on behalf of God, addressing Israel's misplaced trust in human leadership. In this verse, God challenges Israel's demand for a king and rulers, a request they once insisted upon despite warnings. Israel had long sought political power and human governance, hoping it would bring security and prosperity. But here, God reminds them that their kings and princes could not ultimately save them or provide the security they desired.

This verse underscores a recurring theme in the Bible: true deliverance and salvation come from God, not from earthly authorities or systems. It serves as a rebuke of Israel’s reliance on human leaders rather than trusting in God’s provision and protection.

Russian court fines Google $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Don't hold your breath Putin
icon Iain Thomson
Tue 29 Oct 2024 // 21:00 UTC

A Russian court has ruled that Google owes Russian media stations around $20 decillion in fines for blocking their content, and the fines could get bigger.

To put that into perspective, the World Bank estimates global GDP as around $100 trillion, which is peanuts compared to the prospective fine. Google would therefore have to find more money than exists on Earth to pay Moscow - but on Tuesday fell a little short of that mark when it posted $88 billion quarterly revenue.

The bizarre amount has been calculated after a four-year court case that started after YouTube banned the ultra-nationalist Russian channel Tsargrad in 2020 in response to the US sanctions imposed against its owner. Following Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine in 2022 more channels were added to the banned list and 17 stations are now suing the Chocolate Factory, including Zvezda (a TV channel owned by Putin's Ministry of Defence), according to local media.

"Google was called by a Russian court to administrative liability under Art. 13.41 of the Administrative Offenses Code for removing channels on the YouTube platform. The court ordered the company to restore these channels," lawyer Ivan Morozov told state media outlet TASS.

The court imposed a fine of 100 thousand rubles ($1,025) per day, with the total fine doubling every week. Owing to compound interest (Einstein's eighth wonder of the world), Google is now on the hook for an insane amount of money, or what the judge on Monday called “a case in which there are many, many zeros.”

    Google Russia goes broke after bank account snatched
    Russian 'troll factory' firebombed – but still fit to fiddle with our minds
    Putin reaches for nuclear option: Zuckerberg banned

Not that there's much chance of bankrupting Alphabet over the issue. Google in Russia has been inactive since 2022 after the search giant effectively pulled out of the country following Putin's special military operation. Google says the Russian authorities had seized its bank accounts and the offshoot was essentially bankrupt. The ad-spreader had over 200 staff in Russia and, while some have been relocated, others were laid off.

The battle is now on in courts around the globe as Russia seeks to seize Google's assets, with little success. The Chocolate Factory certainly seems sanguine about it.

"We have ongoing legal matters relating to Russia. For example, civil judgments that include compounding penalties have been imposed upon us in connection with disputes regarding the termination of accounts, including those of sanctioned parties," Alphabet reported in its last earnings statement [PDF].

"We do not believe these ongoing legal matters will have a material adverse effect."

Google had no comment on the fine at time of going to publication.

I still use Netscape Navigator on my desktop, and I still have no complaints.


This passage is from Friedrich Nietzsche, specifically from his work "On the Genealogy of Morality." Nietzsche critiques what he sees as the "herd morality" of modern society, where concepts of punishment are increasingly questioned, and society becomes overly sympathetic to criminals. He argues that this tendency reflects a weakening of traditional values and strength.

This is also him


Found this:
Javier Milei, Argentina’s president-elect, is noted to have participated in events organized by the World Economic Forum (WEF) in the past, such as a 2014 forum on Latin America. His participation has led some to associate him with the WEF, though he is not a known member of the organization itself. Milei is publicly critical of globalist institutions and uses platforms like WEF conferences to advocate for his ultraliberal, free-market policies, which he believes are contrary to the WEF's globalist agenda

Thus, while he has interacted with the WEF on certain occasions, he aligns himself ideologically against its central principles.
So he is rather anti WEF what I understand


Of course the Dutch mainstream media bashes against #bitcoin friendly countries like Argentina.

I hate 🤮 their colorized opinion against emerging countries

Here their translated articke:

Milei pushes Argentina further into poverty, inflation at 237 percent

Since the arrival of the libertarian president, Javier Milei has not been doing any better with Argentina. With the promise to take the economy firmly on the shovel, the eccentric Milei took office, but almost a year after his arrival, the economic chaos has actually increased in Argentina.
Sinds komst van de libertarische president Javier Milei gaat het allerminst beter met Argentinië.
Since the arrival of the libertarian president, Javier Milei has not been doing any better with Argentina.( () thatANP / AFP) ()

Milei has so far had one small victory: inflation is falling. In September, the price increase has remained at 3.5 percent compared to a month before and for October the same level is expected. If you look at the bigger picture, the economy is far from stable with an expected inflation of 124 percent over the entire 2024. If you compare the August figures of this year to last year’s, the picture is even more dramatic. The prices have more than tripled with 237 percent compared to then.

Due to the large price increases, it becomes enormously difficult for the average Argentine to get by. “We lose sight of what’s expensive and what’s cheap,” says university professor Daniel Vazquez. “Prices continue to rise and the only thing that does not increase are salaries,” he told Reuters. Meanwhile, the gap between salaries and price increases would be 'very great', says Vazquez.

Argentina is a global leader when it comes to who has the highest inflation. The libertarian president Milei has cut in subsidies for sectors such as energy and transport, while he has vowed to prune in the public sector, by closing some offices and cutting jobs.
Poverty is on the increase

The substantial cuts have not yet yielded positive results. On the contrary, poverty rates have risen to 53 percent, while the country’s recession continues. Computer programmer Ivan Cortesi says that while food prices remained similar to last month, the cost of utilities rose significantly. “Over the past month, all utilities have increased significantly,” he told Reuters.

When Milei took office in December, he not only made substantial savings, he also single-handedly devalued the local currency. He would prefer to see the country bid farewell to the Argentine peso and that is exchanged for the dollar.
Demonstrations and demonstrations

Meanwhile, Milei sees the dissatisfaction from the population against him. In recent times, students and education staff took to the streets en masse to demonstrate against the policy of the libertarian president. They are dissatisfied with a veto that Milei has spoken for a passed bill to increase the budget for universities in line with inflation.

Not sure if this is making sense and more a path to #centralisation and bureaucracy #kyc

#tls #domain #verification #whois

WHOIS data is unreliable. So why is it used in TLS certificate applications?

Certificate authorities and browser makers are planning to end the use of WHOIS data verifying domain ownership following a report that demonstrated how threat actors could abuse the process to obtain fraudulently issued TLS certificates.

TLS certificates are the cryptographic credentials that underpin HTTPS connections, a critical component of online communications verifying that a server belongs to a trusted entity and encrypts all traffic passing between it and an end user. These credentials are issued by any one of hundreds of CAs (certificate authorities) to domain owners. The rules for how certificates are issued and the process for verifying the rightful owner of a domain are left to the CA/Browser Forum. One "base requirement rule" allows CAs to send an email to an address listed in the WHOIS record for the domain being applied for. When the receiver clicks an enclosed link, the certificate is automatically approved.
Non-trivial dependencies

Researchers from security firm watchTowr recently demonstrated how threat actors could abuse the rule to obtain fraudulently issued certificates for domains they didn’t own. The security failure resulted from a lack of uniform rules for determining the validity of sites claiming to provide official WHOIS records.

Specifically, watchTowr researchers were able to receive a verification link for any domain ending in .mobi, including ones they didn’t own. The researchers did this by deploying a fake WHOIS server and populating it with fake records. Creation of the fake server was possible because dotmobiregistry.net—the previous domain hosting the WHOIS server for .mobi domains—was allowed to expire after the server was relocated to a new domain. watchTowr researchers registered the domain, set up the imposter WHOIS server, and found that CAs continued to rely on it to verify ownership of .mobi domains.

The research didn’t escape the notice of the CA/Browser Forum (CAB Forum). On Monday, a member representing Google proposed ending the reliance on WHOIS data for domain ownership verification “in light of recent events where research from watchTowr Labs demonstrated how threat actors could exploit WHOIS to obtain fraudulently issued TLS certificates."

The formal proposal calls for reliance on WHOIS data to “sunset” in early November. It establishes specifically that “CAs MUST NOT rely on WHOIS to identify Domain Contacts” and that “Effective November 1, 2024, validations using this [email verification] method MUST NOT rely on WHOIS to identify Domain Contact information.”

Since Monday’s submission, more than 50 follow-up comments have been posted. Many of the responses expressed support for the proposed change. Others have questioned the need for a change as proposed, given that the security failure watchTowr uncovered is known to affect only a single top-level domain.

An Amazon representative, meanwhile, noted that the company previously implemented a unilateral change in which the AWS Certificate Manager will fully transition away from reliance on WHOIS records. The representative told CAB Forum members that Google’s proposed deadline of November 1 may be too stringent.

“We got feedback from customers that for some this is a non-trivial dependency to remove,” the Amazon representative wrote. “It’s not uncommon for companies to have built automation on top of email validation. Based on the information we got I recommend a date of April 30, 2025.”

CA Digicert endorsed Amazon’s proposal to extend the deadline. Digicert went on to propose that instead of using WHOIS records, CAs instead use the WHOIS successor known as the Registration Data Access Protocol.

The proposed changes are formally in the discussion phase of deliberations. It’s unclear when formal voting on the change will begin.

On Monday, a member representing Google proposed ending the reliance on WHOIS data for domain ownership verification “in light of recent events where research from watchTowr Labs demonstrated how threat actors could exploit WHOIS to obtain fraudulently issued TLS certificates."

The formal proposal calls for reliance on WHOIS data to “sunset” in early November. It establishes specifically that “CAs MUST NOT rely on WHOIS to identify Domain Contacts” and that “Effective November 1, 2024, validations using this [email verification] method MUST NOT rely on WHOIS to identify Domain Contact information.”

Since Monday’s submission, more than 50 follow-up comments have been posted. Many of the responses expressed support for the proposed change. Others have questioned the need for a change as proposed, given that the security failure watchTowr uncovered is known to affect only a single top-level domain.

An Amazon representative, meanwhile, noted that the company previously implemented a unilateral change in which the AWS Certificate Manager will fully transition away from reliance on WHOIS records. The representative told CAB Forum members that Google’s proposed deadline of November 1 may be too stringent.

“We got feedback from customers that for some this is a non-trivial dependency to remove,” the Amazon representative wrote. “It’s not uncommon for companies to have built automation on top of email validation. Based on the information we got I recommend a date of April 30, 2025.”

CA Digicert endorsed Amazon’s proposal to extend the deadline. Digicert went on to propose that instead of using WHOIS records, CAs instead use the WHOIS successor known as the Registration Data Access Protocol.

The proposed changes are formally in the discussion phase of deliberations. It’s unclear when formal voting on the change will begin.

#bitcoin

This is exactly what is going on and why I hate other markets than spot.

The month of August has been largely uneventful for Bitcoin so far, with the premier cryptocurrency having struggled to reclaim the $65,000 price mark since August 2. Currently, Bitcoin is slightly below $60,000 as the bulls and bears seek to grab control in what has been a range-bound market for the past week. Interestingly, CryptoQuant analyst XBTManager has shared revelations_ that indicate the BTC market is likely to maintain its current bearish form for the time being. Wide Spot-Perpetual Gap Spells Trouble For Bitcoin On August 16, XBTManager reported that Bitcoin's Spot-Perpetual Price Gap, as tracked on the Binance exchange, is continually in a negative form indicating that the asset may record more price loss due to a sustained selling pressure. For context, a Spot-Perpetual Price gap occurs when there is a difference between the valuation of Bitcoin on the spot market which deals with the asset's actual price, and on the perpetual markets which allow traders to deal in speculations of the Bitcoin's future price. When the perpetual price is lower than the spot price as in the current case of Bitcoin, it indicates traders are massively offloading the asset in the perpetual futures market as they believe there could be an incoming price fall. Expectedly, XBTManager predicts this negative spot-perpetual gap will translate into a heightened selling pressure in the spot market as several traders will look to sell their assets and buy in the perpetual market thus taking advantage of the arbitrage to gain some profit. In the advent of such a reaction, deep liquidation hunts might occur i.e. where a large number of leverage positions are forcefully closed down, leading to a larger negative Spot-Perpetual Gap, and_ increased selling activity. However, XBTManager has noted a potential positive for Bitcoin in this uncanny situation. The analyst states that high selling pressure will likely result in an accumulation of multiple short portions on Bitcoin. Therefore, the instance of a sudden price gain might force these positions to close leading to some significant buying activity that could reduce the current negative Spot-Perpetual Price gap. BTC Price Overview At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $58,981 with a 2.28% gain in the past day. However, the token's daily trading volume is down by 16.37% and is valued at $29.5 billion. On larger time frames, Bitcoin also remains in the red zone with a loss of 2.92% and 8.76% over the last seven and thirty days respectively.

Chatgpt also refuses this

Bank Digital currency?


Nice stuff. I'm still saving up for that!

Possible,
This was my question:
How many Satoshis has the total bitcoin supply?


Not at the paid version 4o here

The total supply of Bitcoin is capped at 21 million bitcoins. Each bitcoin is divisible into 100,000,000 Satoshis. To find the total number of Satoshis in the total supply of Bitcoin, you multiply the total number of bitcoins by the number of Satoshis per bitcoin:

\[ 21,000,000 \text{ bitcoins} \times 100,000,000 \text{ Satoshis/bitcoin} = 2,100,000,000,000,000 \text{ Satoshis} \]

So, the total bitcoin supply has 2,100,000,000,000,000 Satoshis.

How to pronounce that number?

The number 2,100,000,000,000,000 is pronounced as:

"Two quadrillion, one hundred trillion."

So, you can say:

"Two quadrillion, one hundred trillion Satoshis."

To be honest, I didn't believe in using HTML for client applications at that time. I was more of a hardcore C++ programmer and worked with assembly during that period, having started with Borland Pascal. So much has changed since then. However, in the end, I was able to retire early because of Bitcoin. It changed everything. During the darkest period of my life, Bitcoin was my lifeboat, along with alcohol (unfortunately). I don't want to talk about it anymore, but everything is cool now. Cheers!

I found this Mike:

Ancient Times: There are references to travel documents in ancient civilizations. For example, the Hebrew Bible mentions a document given to Nehemiah by the Persian king Artaxerxes in the 5th century BCE to facilitate his travel.

Medieval Period: In medieval Europe, various forms of travel documents were issued by local authorities to allow travel between different regions.

16th Century: The term "passport" began to be used in England, referring to documents issued by the King to permit travel through a port.

19th Century: The concept of passports started to resemble modern forms, especially with the rise of the nation-state and more structured international travel.

Early 20th Century: The League of Nations (precursor to the United Nations) held a conference in 1920, which led to the standardization of passport formats and regulations. This marked the beginning of the modern era of passports with internationally recognized standards.

    Version Control and History:
        Google Docs: While it does have a version history, it's more suited for text documents and isn't as robust for coding.
        Git: Offers comprehensive version control, enabling you to track every change, revert to previous states, and branch out for experimenting without affecting the main codebase.

    Collaboration:
        Google Docs: Good for simultaneous editing and comments, but lacks the coding tools developers need.
        Git: Allows multiple developers to work on different features in parallel branches, merging them later. Tools like GitHub enhance collaboration with code reviews, pull requests, and issue tracking.

    Code Integrity:
        Google Docs: Manual copy-pasting increases the risk of errors.
        Git: Automates integration and deployment processes, reducing human error.

    Integration:
        Google Docs: Limited integration with development tools and CI/CD pipelines.
        Git: Seamlessly integrates with countless development tools, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud services for efficient workflows.

    Backup and Security:
        Google Docs: Relies on Google's infrastructure, which is reliable but can have downtime or access issues.
        Git: Local and remote repositories ensure multiple backups and better control over your code.

Switching to Git can streamline your development process, improve collaboration, and maintain code quality more effectively.

2. Many ended up in prison.

3. In California prisons, MS-13 was born.

4. Clinton sent these gangsters back to El Salvador.

5. El Salvador become the most violent country on Earth.

6. Bukele elected: He put 70,000 of these essentially American trained terrorists & gangsters in prison.

7. El Salvador is now the safest country in the hemisphere

8. 500,000 🇸🇻 emigrants (the diaspora) in the US —- are repatriating back to 🇸🇻

9. Trump’s comments on the politics and history of El Salvador are childish & moronic.

In fact it is.

False Expectations: Hope can create unrealistic expectations about the future, leading individuals to believe in outcomes that are unlikely or impossible. This can result in prolonged disappointment when these expectations are not met.

Avoidance of Reality: Hope can serve as a coping mechanism to avoid dealing with present difficulties or unpleasant realities. By focusing on an optimistic future, individuals might neglect addressing current issues that require immediate attention.

Inaction: Excessive hope can lead to passivity, as individuals might rely on the belief that things will get better on their own rather than taking proactive steps to improve their situation. This can prevent necessary actions and problem-solving.

Dependency on External Factors: Hope often depends on factors beyond one's control, such as the actions of others or random events. Placing faith in these externalities can lead to feelings of helplessness and a lack of agency.

Emotional Rollercoaster: Riding on hope can lead to emotional highs and lows. When hopeful outcomes do not materialize, the resulting disappointment can be more intense than if one had maintained a more realistic outlook from the start.

Detriment to Mental Health: Constantly hoping for better outcomes without achieving them can contribute to chronic stress, anxiety, and even depression. The gap between hoped-for realities and actual experiences can be mentally exhausting.

Distortion of Perception: Hope can skew one's perception of reality, causing individuals to see things through rose-colored glasses. This can lead to poor decision-making based on overly optimistic assumptions rather than a clear-eyed assessment of the situation.

Perpetuation of Dysfunctional Situations: In relationships or jobs, hope can keep people stuck in unhealthy or unfulfilling situations with the belief that things will eventually improve, when they might be better off making a change.

Misdirected Effort: Hope can channel energy and resources into unlikely outcomes, diverting them from more practical or achievable goals. This misdirection can hinder progress and personal growth.

Cultural and Social Constructs: Societal and cultural narratives often glorify hope as a virtue, potentially pressuring individuals to maintain hope even when it is irrational. This can reinforce delusional thinking at a collective level.

True, but the same applies to X, in my humble opinion. The network and first-mover effects are in full force.

Coins are still on exchanges. Theorectly they can move them back if they want.


I doubt they really sold it (all) yet. They moved it to the exchanges. But not sure if they have actually sold it (yet). The destination addresses still contains the amount....


The "best" self-hosted AI assistant depends on your specific needs, but here are some popular options known for their features and flexibility:

1. **Mycroft**: An open-source voice assistant that can be customized extensively. It is compatible with multiple platforms and has a growing community of developers contributing to its skills and capabilities.

2. **Rasa**: Focused on creating contextual AI assistants. It’s particularly strong for building custom chatbots that require a deep understanding of conversation context. It’s also open-source and allows for extensive customization.

3. **Open Assistant**: Based on the GPT models, this platform allows you to deploy your own instance of a conversational AI. It’s suitable for those who want the capabilities of a GPT-based assistant without relying on external services.

4. **Hugging Face Transformers**: Although not an assistant per se, you can build highly sophisticated AI models for various applications, including assistants. It provides a wide range of pre-trained models and is very developer-friendly.

5. **Snips**: An offline, private-by-design voice assistant platform. While Snips was acquired by Sonos, its technology is still a solid choice for those prioritizing privacy and offline capabilities.

6. **Jarvis**: Inspired by Iron Man’s assistant, Jarvis is a home automation assistant built using Node.js. It’s open-source and designed to integrate with various IoT devices.

When choosing a self-hosted AI assistant, consider factors such as:

- **Community and support**: Is there an active community or support available to help you with issues?
- **Integration**: Does it support integration with the tools and platforms you use?
- **Privacy**: How does it handle your data and ensure privacy?

Evaluating these aspects will help you determine which AI assistant best meets your needs.

Which (web/desktop) nostr client do I see atm?


MSN claims all the time


Your initial comment was '210 sats should be the smallest default zap,' which implies enforcing a minimum. Saying 'clients have defaults' and can be changed doesn't address the concern that setting a high default restricts the freedom to zap smaller amounts. Consistency matters.


There should not be a smallest default zap. #freedom

Interesting explanation:
https://www.tradingview.com/news/newsbtc:675e8c9ed094b:0-is-the-bitcoin-price-manipulated-experts-explain-small-impact-of-etf-inflows/


Some voice in me still distrust the whole ETF scene. Still thinks when these purchases were done just taking the spot bitcoin from the exchange in a conventional way it had done more effect on the price.............


https://www.tradingview.com/news/coindesk:78f5de641094b:0-bitcoin-etfs-resume-inflow-winning-streak-blackrock-s-ibit-crosses-20b-in-aum/
The U.S.-based spot bitcoin ETFs yesterday made it 15-consecutive sessions of net inflows, with the latest rush of money combing with a rally in the price of {{BTC}} to send BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Fund
I
IBIT
 to more than $20 billion in assets under management for the first time.

According to Bloomberg Intelligence senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, the ETFs pulled in roughly $2.4 billion in fresh money over the past month. That would be the third-largest amount of net inflows across the entire ETF market.

“The ability to bounce back with renewed interest after a couple nasty selloffs is rare for hot sauce type strategies,” Balchunas said in a post on X. “[It] shows staying power.”

Following the initial euphoria for the launch of the spot ETFs, inflows slowed down significantly in April and even turned negative for several days, an occurrence which experts then said was very normal.

Since May 16, though, net inflows have averaged $140 million per day, according to data from Farside Investors., led by IBIT, which pulled in $1.1 billion over that period and continues to be the strongest out of the ten funds. IBIT as of yesterday held 291,563 bitcoins valued at $20.15 billion.

Price still under 100k$. Selling elsewhere should be insane to keep it nearly flat at such inflows....


How to #hodl and send zaps? Its one way or the other, not both.


I believe you are correct. At least it should be that way.

However thenthis makes no sense with the current price reaction:
https://www.tradingview.com/news/the_block:9f41145fb094b:0-spot-bitcoin-etfs-see-11-straight-days-of-net-inflows-as-blackrock-s-ibit-claims-top-spot/

U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds logged a total daily net inflow of $45.14 million on Tuesday. This marks the fund’s 11th consecutive day of inflows, which is the longest streak of positive flows since February.

BlackRock’s IBIT drew in $102.5 million, leading net inflows among bitcoin ETFs on Wednesday, according to data from SoSoValue. This led IBIT to become the largest spot bitcoin fund in terms of net asset value, with $19.68 billion — surpassing that of Grayscale’s GBTC.

Since converting into a spot bitcoin ETF, GBTC has been losing funds on most days, including yesterday, when it saw net outflows of over $105 million. As of Wednesday, GBTC has a net asset value of $19.65 billion.

Fidelity’s FBTC reported the second-largest net inflows of $34.35 million. At the same time, other funds from Ark Invest and 21Shares, Bitwise, Invesco and Galaxy Digital, Valkyrie, and WisdomTree saw single-digit gains on Wednesday.

Combined, the 11 spot bitcoin ETFs saw total net inflows of over $2 billion in the past 11 days, bringing the cumulative total net inflows since January to $13.73 billion.

Meanwhile, the price of bitcoin rose 0.73% in the past 24 hours to $68.126, according to The Block’s Bitcoin Price Page.

1. **Snooze multiple times**: Keep hitting the snooze button and delaying getting up.
2. **Stay sedentary**: Remain in bed or on the couch without moving or stretching.
3. **Ignore finances before coffee**: Avoid checking or managing any investments or finances in the morning.
4. **Take shallow breaths**: Breathe quickly and shallowly, potentially increasing stress.
5. **Avoid communication**: Isolate yourself and avoid talking to anyone.
6. **Skip planning**: Start your day without listing or thinking about your priorities.
7. **Procrastinate on tough tasks**: Put off your most challenging tasks until later in the day.
8. **Stay indoors in low light**: Avoid sunlight and spend the morning in dimly lit areas.
9. **Focus on negatives**: Dwell on worries, complaints, or things that are going wrong in your life.

When people who buy an ETF are in reality buying from a supply which already has been bought by the ETF supplier? So the impact is not immediately visible at the time of buying? Buy spot directly from an exchange would be impact more directly? Hope I see this wrong?

I took the decision to move from The Netherlands to Malta. Still no regret. Capital gains are not the worst theft of the IRS. Taxing your 'unrealized gains' aka Wealth tax is. In The Netherlands they tax your stash each year, which I believe is still not the case in the US.

From X

The Trudeau regime has introduced an Orwellian new law called the Online Harms Bill C-63, which will give police the power to retroactively search the Internet for ‘hate speech’ violations and arrest offenders, even if the offence occurred before the law existed.
This new bill is aimed at safeguarding the masses from so-called “hate speech.”
http://Revolver.news reports: The real shocker in this bill is the alarming retroactive aspect. Essentially, whatever you’ve said in the past can now be weaponized against you by today’s draconian standards. Historian Dr. Muriel Blaive has weighed in on this draconian law, labeling it outright “mad.” She points out how it literally spits in the face of all Western legal traditions, especially the one about only being punished if you infringed on a law that was valid at the time of committing a crime.

What about the implications of Bitcoin ETFs. These financial instruments allow entities to accumulate large amounts of Bitcoin, potentially gaining enough control to influence its price significantly. Such a concentration of Bitcoin in the hands of a few is concerning and contradicts the decentralized ethos that Bitcoin advocates for. If one of the primary critiques of Goldbugs is their self-serving approach and the centralization of gold, then the same scrutiny must be applied to the Bitcoin ecosystem. The potential for a similar centralization through Bitcoin ETFs poses a question worth pondering: How can we ensure that the movement towards digital currency remains true to its foundational principles of decentralization and accessibility for all, without replicating the very issues it seeks to resolve?


11 years later mostly are still baffled.

In past halvings the price started to stabilize a half year after the halvings. This year this is already different. Not claiming this is because of the Etfs but for a fact the rise stated before the halvening already. But it is volatile for sure. Nature of the beast I guess.


Yet are so many self proclaimed influencers and their herd who follow them blindly.

True. But it all relies on how many people use nostr. Till now I see most stick to X including Adam Back and Michael Saylor. Nostr is better than any other platform but if majority ignores it it is hopeless.

Just tried to read Adam Back post on X but immediately confronted why #nostr is so much better. Unfortunately many X posters see this different. Although he tried it, he decided to stick with the first mover.

Tether firstmover. Therefore All other other stable alternatives are doomed.


Hope you are right 👊


No matter what, I 💜 #nostr and keep using it. But I still have some weird X account to keep up what Adam Back, Michael Saylor and many other soles has to brah in the space. In the end it's all about having fun (for me) and if lucky being informed. So both can keep exist. And that's also good thing imho.


You forgot rule #0. Nostr is not a firstmover. Even if code is / will be perfect it still loses against the firstmover X. #bitcoin is the perfect example. There is no second best. And that's a good thing for us bitcoin erst.


1. **Money:** Money is a broad term that refers to any medium of exchange that can be used to pay for goods and services and to settle debts. The key functions of money are as a medium of exchange, a unit of account, a store of value, and sometimes, a standard of deferred payment. Money can take various forms, including physical forms (like coins and banknotes) and digital forms (such as bank deposits or digital currencies). Money's essence lies in its general acceptability by a community or economy.

2. **Currency:** Currency is a specific type of money that is in physical form and is issued by a government or a central authority. It includes paper notes and coins that circulate within an economy. Currency is the tangible form of money that is used for the exchange of goods and services. While all currency is considered money when it is used in the economy as a medium of exchange, not all money is currency because money can also exist in digital or other non-physical forms.

In summary, currency is a subset of money. Money encompasses a wide range of mediums including currency, but also includes other forms of financial assets and mechanisms that serve the functions of money, such as checks, bank deposits, and electronic money. Currency specifically refers to physical tokens such as coins and banknotes that are issued by a central bank or governmental authority and are used in transactions.


Nah. Disagree.

Very private question. You can only answer it very carefully. People who does probably do not want to publicly expose themself in a YouTube video or TV program. To dangerous.


Chatgpt4 about the transcript
The transcript reveals that Vladimir Putin justified the war by discussing historical, cultural, and political narratives, emphasizing a long history of connection between Russia and Ukraine, alleging threats from NATO expansion, and expressing concerns about Western influence in Ukraine. He argued that the conflict was provoked by a combination of historical grievances, the need for security against perceived NATO encroachments, and the events surrounding the 2014 Ukrainian crisis. Putin described the action as a response to protect Russian-speaking populations in Ukraine and to prevent Ukraine's alignment with NATO, which he views as a direct threat to Russian security.

Chatgpt4 on this
The critique of Bitcoin, as voiced by figures like Peter Schiff and echoed in your statement, touches on fundamental questions about the nature of value, money, and the innovation that cryptocurrencies bring to the financial and technological landscape. The sensitivity of Bitcoin advocates to such critiques can be seen as stemming from a variety of reasons, both ideological and practical.

### Digital vs. Physical Value

One of the core misunderstandings in the debate over Bitcoin's value revolves around the digital versus physical dichotomy. While it's true that Bitcoin does not exist in a physical form and is, as you noted, essentially a series of digital signatures recorded on a blockchain, this does not inherently mean it lacks value. The argument that something must be physical to have value overlooks how societies have historically ascribed value to non-physical entities. For example, intellectual property, digital media, and even fiat currency (to an extent) derive their value from collective belief in their utility and scarcity, not from physical form or utility.

### Scarcity and Security

The scarcity of Bitcoin is not about the technology itself (which is open-source and freely duplicable) but about the specific entries on its ledger. The Bitcoin protocol limits the total number of bitcoins that can be created to 21 million, using a decentralized consensus mechanism to validate transactions and create new bitcoins at a predictably diminishing rate. This scarcity, akin to precious metals, underpins its value proposition as a "digital gold."

### Utility as a Currency and Store of Value

Bitcoin's utility is not just in the movement of value but in its properties as a decentralized, censorship-resistant, and secure digital asset. It offers a way to transfer value across the globe without the need for intermediaries, potentially reducing costs and increasing efficiency, especially in cross-border transactions. Its value, therefore, is not merely circular but rooted in its utility as a tool for financial sovereignty, privacy, and inclusion.

### The Value of Trust and Network Effects

The value of Bitcoin also lies in the trust and security of its network, which has been tested over a decade. It's a system that allows for transparent and immutable transactions, creating a form of digital trust that does not rely on traditional financial intermediaries. Additionally, the network effect—where the value of a service increases with the number of its users—plays a significant role in Bitcoin's value. As more people, businesses, and even governments recognize and adopt Bitcoin, its utility and, by extension, its value increase.

### Market Value and Speculation

Comparing Bitcoin to entities like Enron overlooks the decentralized, open-source nature of Bitcoin, which operates transparently and is not subject to the corporate malfeasance or opaque accounting practices that can lead to inflated valuations. While speculative trading does influence Bitcoin's price, this is not unique to Bitcoin and is a common characteristic of all asset markets, including stocks, real estate, and commodities.

### Conclusion

The sensitivity of Bitcoin proponents to critiques might stem from a belief in the transformative potential of Bitcoin and a frustration with what they perceive as a lack of understanding or appreciation of its underlying principles and benefits. It's also worth noting that the crypto space is diverse, with varying opinions and degrees of optimism. As with any emerging technology, debate and skepticism are healthy and necessary for evolution and understanding.

Crypto mining company loses bid to force B.C. Hydro to provide power

B.C. says cryptocurrency mining consumes "massive amounts of electricity" by running high-powered computers around the clock.

A cryptocurrency firm has lost a bid to force B.C. Hydro to provide the vast amounts of power needed for its operations, in a court ruling that upholds the provincial government’s right to pause power connections for new crypto miners.

Conifex Timber Inc., a forestry firm that branched out into cryptocurrency “mining,” had gone to the B.C. Supreme Court to have the policy declared invalid.
Article content

But Justice Michael Tammen ruled Friday that the government’s move in December 2022 to pause new connections for cryptocurrency mining for 18 months was reasonable and not unduly discriminatory.

B.C. Hydro CEO Christopher O’Riley had told the court in an affidavit that the data centres proposed by Conifex would have consumed 2.5 million megawatt-hours of electricity a year. That’s enough to power and heat more than 570,000 apartments, according to data on the power provider’s website.

Energy Minister Josie Osborne said when the policy was introduced that cryptocurrency mining consumes “massive amounts of electricity” by running banks of high-powered computers around the clock, but adds “very few jobs” to the local economy.

In a statement released Monday, the company said it’s “disappointed” with the court’s ruling and is considering an appeal.

“Conifex continues to believe that the provincial government is missing out on several opportunities available to it to improve energy affordability, accelerate technological innovation, strengthen the reliability and resiliency of the power distribution grid in British Columbia, and achieve more inclusive economic growth,” the statement said.

Before the provincial government paused new power connections for cryptocurrency miners, B.C. Hydro released a report outlining the issues they represent to the utility provider.

The report said power demand from cryptocurrency mining operations would challenge clean energy and electrification goals as adoption of things such as electric vehicles and heat pumps increase.

The report said bitcoin mining requires enough energy to power “a small country,” and moratoriums on crypto mining in China, Algeria and some U.S. states “created a significant increase in demand for power in B.C. by cryptocurrency mining operations.”

The court ruling said connection requests over the last few years from cryptocurrency miners in B.C. “far exceeded” BC Hydro’s projections.

It said the pause ordered by the government was in response to “the very real prospect that devoting such a large proportion of the available electrical power supply to one industry would leave less energy for other uses which might result in increased costs to all other residential and industry customers in B.C.”

    “We reiterate that we dispute any allegation that our practices violated” federal anti-spam laws, an official at Gen said.

The fault was happening due caching configuration . Read his story on stacker.news why this happened.
Umbrel configure cache different. Has nothing to do with lnd.

Not agree zfs is not a common configuration. A average person buying a 300 dollar completely install umbrel home server can never experience this kind of failure.

If nostr succeeds that means that #bitcoin can die. Because that proves a first mover can actually be replaced. And let's be honest. Twitter is the first mover. So I prever #bitcoin stays and nostr dies in that case.

I thought it is not recorded per definition in the relays. It can be recorded however. But most ips holds not your exact location so I don't care.

This gives glimpse into the rich tapestry of thought and expression that surrounds Bitcoin, blending the technological with the poetic and philosophical. It's a testament to the diverse ways in which people find meaning and hope in this technology.


This verse comes from the "Atma Shatakam" or "Nirvana Shatakam," a six-stanza poem written by Adi Shankaracharya. The poem articulates the spiritual journey towards realizing one's own true nature, which is identified with the ultimate reality or Brahman. Each stanza ends with the refrain, "I am Shiva," indicating the identification of the self with the universal consciousness.


I am Shiva, the love that knows no opposite."


If you make use of the Umbrel node this is already possible. The only thing you need to configure for this is your public key. Nostr relay umbrel app.


Some many NIPs where relays can be specified. Also NIP05 has a place for them. Probably totally other intention. Confusing for me. Good luck for the developers.


After updating (refresh of the url) to this new version I had to fill in all of my default relays again. I do not get this because I have those relays specified in my bitbubblex.com/.well-known/nostr.json?name=michael which should by read by any client following the NIP05 specification
