"Businesses that receive frequent payments will probably still want to run their own nodes for more independent security and quicker verification", Satoshi Nakamoto in Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.

Nakamoto knew that the bankers would execute their own full nodes, and then be miners.

With this video you will understand why we are very close to a war on a global scale.

You will understand why Iran was involved.

You will understand why it is necessary to separate money from the State but also from the bankers.

You will understand why they will never allow cryptocurrencies to be money, but cryptoassets.

You will understand why BlackRock have transformed Bitcoin into a Wall Street product (a week ago I wrote an article).

With this video you will understand why modern large scale wars are not for material resources, but for the control of money to control the World Order.

A lot of institutional money goes into Bitcoin BTC.

L2 services and financial products are created.

There is no scalability in its L1 and there will be no incentive to do so, because they will look for only a few to do tx on the network, and the rest will be custodial and brokerage.


The toxicity of the blockchain industry that many talk about is the same toxicity that exists in society, only it is concentrated here, and exacerbated in social networks.

Many are amazed, it looks like they lived inside a candy jar.

The third being

Today there are two beings that we recognize, the biological beings, contained in the animal kingdom and the plant kingdom, the spiritual beings, contained in faith and religion, and there will be a third species, the digital beings, created by artificial intelligence #AI


Satoshi Nakamoto remained anonymous to preserve his/her/them #privacy and #security, but he created a traceable Blockchain that does not preserve privacy, and only hiding from the world could give him/her/them security.


Cryptocurrency as native NFT

If a token is not fungible, then it is a NFT, Non Fungible Token.

The traceability of a Blockchain allows governments to create a blacklist of transactions to be censored, and to impose validators not to include them in the blocks.

So in a traceable blockchain its cryptocurrency is partially native NFT.

Telegram with its Blockchain TON (The Open Network) is one of the first that is developing digital identity based on biometrics, (fingerprint, palm, iris, face) known as PoH (Proof of Humanity).
The other Blockchain is Worldcoin.

It will impose itself as the most used means of identity validation for humans, differentiating us from machines. It will be common to see the system hacked by the #AI to steal identity.

The PoH identity system will be the worst Orwellian system of surveillance and the worst in terms of security and privacy for people.
Identity validation with a cryptographic means, such as PGP (thanks to Cypherpunks) is still the most secure for people to verify identity, and the one that offers the most privacy.

Most people don't understand this danger and buy Toncoin 👇

Attack to Bitcoin Consensus: Partitioning the Blockchain

The goal of this attack is to partition the Bitcoin network into two disjoint components, such that there is no active connection between them.

Partitioning the network would directly harm the consensus mechanism as the two parts will have different views of the blockchain and recent transactions.

If a full partition of the network is achieved, transactions from one side of the partition can be blocked from reaching the other side, effectively blocking payments from reaching across.

Transactions mined into blocks on the side with less mining power will eventually be erased from the chain when the partition collapses. They can be included again, but this may take time if a significant backlog  has formed and may result in transaction fee increases. Finally, the attacker can use the fact that blocks on both side of the partition are in conflict to send conflicting transactions to different sides that will allow it to double spend without requiring any mining power of his own.

How?

#Bitcoin not scaling on L1 is not a bug, it's a feature.

The incentive Bitcoin developers and miners have is its valuation. The price to the moon.

It does not need to be a network that can scale in L1, because it is not intended to be used as money but as digital gold, SoV (Store of Value).

Bankers understood that, and are investing a lot of money leveraging that feature.


#Technocracy 2030

Nowadays being online is a choice, although there are fewer and fewer offline options.

In a few years being online will be a must, so that your government can have mass surveillance and control over citizens.

Being Offline will be the norm for #security and #privacy.


The lack of scalability in its L1 and the high cost of ASIC mining created the SoV (Store of Value) narrative of #Bitcoin instead of p2p e-money.

That leads it inexorably to intermediation and custody.

Backdoors in developments

Backdoors are a threat to #privacy and #security. They have no reason to exist.

Open source is a necessary solution, but not sufficient.

Open source software development cannot entirely avoid backdoors, as they can still occur despite community scrutiny and efforts to maintain security.

While open source does offer advantages like community detection and rapid fixing of backdoors, the sheer volume of code and the lack of universal scrutiny mean that not all projects receive the same level of attention as major ones like the Linux kernel.  The mostly discredited Linus’s Law says “given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow”.

Backdoors in open source are a persistent challenge due to various factors like the vast interconnected nature of open source projects, potential vulnerabilities in individual developer accounts, and the risk of intentional sabotage or inclusion of backdoors by developers.

Therefore, while open source can mitigate backdoors to some extent, it cannot completely prevent them due to the complexities and scale of the open source ecosystem.

Satoshi Nakamoto successfully implemented the idea of a group of developers, the Cypherpunks, who sought #privacy and autonomy for individuals to be able to interact voluntarily in an environment safe from the clutches of the state.

The crypto space aims to separate money from the state.

Today the blockchain has thousands of developments, for all tastes and needs. There are even developments that are evidently driven by the same elites that the Cypherpunk philosophy sought to combat and in that we must be vigilant so as not to fall into the trap.

#Bitcoin BTC itself is being co-opted by bankers (I will publish an article shortly).

Several cryptocurrencies created to pump&dump and profit fiat money, or memecoins created to distract, and attract the stupidity of many.

So the most important thing is to keep the philosophy alive beyond the blockchain or blockchains one uses.

The combination of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology has the potential to transform industries and improve process efficiency and security.

However, it also presents challenges and risks that must be addressed.

With proper implementation and an ethical approach, AI on blockchain can provide significant benefits.

The exponential advance presented by AI technology is surprising and alarming at the same time, because the trend is the autonomy of machines,  and that may be our Achilles heel.

Every device can be physically located in the world with an accuracy of a few centimetres, so its owner.

From the manufacturer serial number, which is analogous to the name a parent gives a child, to IMEI, which is a unique identifier for every single device on the planet, there are no two Joes or Jacks.
Then there are MAC IDs, which are unique network identifiers for where a machine can be found, analogous to a human home address, IP addresses which define how to contact every device on the network (a bit like your cell phone number), the subnet mask, which defines which segment of the network it lives in, and, finally, because devices use certain entry points into networks, Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers.

Libertaria in Cyberspace

It is a text written by Timothy C. May in September 1992, and discusses the idea of creating libertarian societies in the digital realm, emphasizing the advantages of cyberspace over physical locations for implementing crypto-anarchy.

He stresses that cyberspace offers a more hospitable environment for libertarian systems because of its features such as anonymity, secure communications, digital money and pseudonymity.

May suggests that strong cryptography can diminish the power of the state, bringing about changes in economies and social interactions.

The notion of virtual states in cyberspace, where subscribing citizens can form communities with reduced physical coercion, is a central theme.

The discussion delves into the potential for coexistence of multiple virtual nations, allowing for experimentation and self-selection within these communities.

Does #Monero need to be very scalable or is it preferable that it retains privacy and security?

Let's face it, most people will not use Monero, EVER, because they are not interested in privacy, they prefer to be where the massiveness is.

Monero is for a niche market.

So Monero should be private and secure, that's enough.

It is interesting to see the discussions and rivalry between the different blockchains, because competition is good.

There are offers for all tastes and needs, why use only one blockchain, sometimes you will need one type of infrastructure or service and sometimes another.

But when those discussions become personal, and insults come and go, it stops being interesting and the only thing it shows is the big EGO in the debate.

It is not about convincing others, but about informing virtues and defects of the developments for each one to choose.

Remember that THE ENEMY IS THE STATE that will try to ban or regulate the crypto space, not another blockchain/cryptocurrency.

Despite its name, shadow banking is a legitimate and integral part of the global financial system, and represents a parallel financial system that complements traditional banking by providing credit to borrowers with more complex needs and investors willing to take greater risks.

Does #Monero have a Manifesto?
No, it doesn't.

Some argue that 'A Cypherpunk's Manifesto' written by Eric Hughes in 1993 is the right manifesto, but I think not, because it speaks to the philosophy of a group of people who focus on protecting privacy through encryption.

But I believe that 'The Crypto Anarchist Manifesto' written in 1988 by Timothy May, is the correct Manifesto for Monero.

Excerpt: "The technology for this revolution—and it surely will be both a social and economic revolution—has existed in theory for the past decade. The methods are based upon public-key encryption, zero-knowledge interactive proof systems, and various software protocols for interaction, authentication, and verification."

#privacy, #security and #anonymity: Distinct Concepts in
Crypto Space that are often confused

While privacy focuses on data access control, security ensures trust in applications, and anonymity allows acting without a permanent identifier.


The resilience of #Monero

Monero has demonstrated its ability to face strong challenges this early year.

In February Binance, the world's largest exchange, delisted $XMR and caused a ~30% drop in the cryptocurrency's price by exiting this speculative market, rebounding today, recovering more than half of its drop in just 1 month.

Then, in the last few weeks there was a sudden increase in transactions per block of 4x the daily average, and the network was able to process them without major inconvenience thanks to its dynamic block size.

At this point it is unclear whether this explosive growth in transactions is organic or some kind of flood or spam attack or stress testing by unknown parties.

In contrast to Bitcoin's fixed ~1 MB block size, which can generate a competitive and sometimes costly environment for securing transaction space during peak hours, Monero's algorithmic approach to block size adjustments demonstrated a practical on-the-fly scalability solution.

This ability to adapt to transaction volume ensures that Monero not only supports user demand, but does so while keeping costs minimal, thus demonstrating the effectiveness and viability of its blockchain scaling strategy in a real-world scenario.

All of this is #MoneroBullish


The Cypherpunk philosophy

It focuses on advocating the widespread use of strong cryptography and privacy-enhancing technologies to bring about social and political change.

This philosophy emphasizes defending personal privacy, individual freedom, and promoting institutional transparency in the digital age.

I wrote an article:  'Cypherpunks'
https://liberlion.medium.com/cypherpunks-8880c4f827d5

Many of us are familiar with the Cypherpunk philosophy, and the most famous actors, such as Eric Hughes, Timothy C. May, John Gilmore, Hal Finney and of course Satoshi Nakamoto the creator of #Bitcoin.

But there are other Cypherpunks with less media press, but who are still active keeping alive the philosophy of privacy through cryptocurrency. Meet Amir Taaki, who wrote: The libbitcoin Manifesto
https://nakamotoinstitute.org/library/libbitcoin-manifesto

and is currently developing Dark Fi blockchain

Let's there be dark.


I think in a few years there will be a HF on #Bitcoin to implement changes, that some miners and developers will disagree and so BTC will bifurcate into a BlackRock-like banking network with lots of money and more business on Wall Street, and one that will not.

How long will it take for regulators to impose on-chain KYC on #Bitcoin?
BlackRock is the Trojan horse to impose this measure.
Developers and miners will implement a hard fork because the huge amount of institutional money entering the blockchain business will corrupt the players.

What is the relation between #privacy and #decentralization?

It lies in how decentralized systems, like blockchain technology, enhance data privacy by giving individuals more control over their personal information.

Decentralization ensures that data remains secure, immutable, and only shared when authorized by the user, reducing the risks associated with centralized systems.

By shifting towards decentralized data management, individuals can control who accesses their data, fostering trust and consent-driven interactions.

By implementing strong encryption techniques, decentralized systems protect data privacy, ensuring that sensitive information remains secure and only accessible to authorized parties.

Furthermore, decentralized data storage offers improved data availability, resistance to censorship, scalability, and resilience to failures, making it a more secure and user-centric approach to managing data.


#privacy  is not something to be hidden, it is something to be protected, valued and respected.

Whoever has privacy is someone who has an advantage.

The opposite is the exacerbated exhibitionism that many exhibit of their personal lives on social networks.

Ignorance is the greatest evil facing mankind, and despite having information at the click of a mouse, mankind is more ignorant than ever.

Agorism, a social political philosophy introduced by Samuel Edward Konkin III, offers a unique approach to combat statism through voluntary interactions and counter-economics.

At its core, agorism advocates for a society where all relationships between individuals are based on voluntary exchanges, operating outside the realm of state control and regulation.

This philosophy challenges traditional political structures by emphasizing peaceful, non-political, but illegal market activities as a means of resistance to the state.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗺Agorism's foundation lies in the concept of counter-economics, which involves engaging in activities that bypass the state's control, such as transactions in black and grey markets.

These counter-economic actions are seen as a form of nonviolent revolution, aiming to create a society where interactions are based on mutual consent rather than coercion.

By promoting the agora, or open marketplace, agorists strive to establish a society free from theft, assault, and fraud, thus creating a space where individuals can pursue their subjective values freely.

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀: 𝗔𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝘃𝘀. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗺
Unlike traditional political ideologies that rely on voting and state intervention to bring about change, agorism rejects these methods in favor of decentralized, market-based solutions.

Agorists believe that the most effective way to challenge statism is through economic activities that operate independently of government oversight, fostering a society where individuals interact voluntarily and peacefully.

This stands in stark contrast to statist approaches that rely on centralized authority and coercion to enforce laws and regulations.

There is growing evidence that Banks are co-opting the crypto space, and that will mean more regulations to limit privacy and decentralization.

Most blockchains will not be permissionless because there will be KYC on-chain and censorship.

I've been saying for a long time.

The Monero blockchain is a cryptographic ecosystem that stands out for its focus on privacy, anonymity, and transaction security.

$XMR is their open source cryptocurrency that stands out for its focus on privacy. Unlike Bitcoin, where transactions are public and traceable, Monero uses techniques to hide the identities of senders and recipients, as well as transaction amounts.
Monero is based on the Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus protocol and uses tools like CryptoNight and Ring Confidential Transactions to ensure privacy.

𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀
𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘤𝘺: Transactions are completely anonymous, making it an attractive option for those seeking greater financial privacy.
Security: The Monero network is protected by the RandomX proof-of-work algorithm, which is resistant to ASIC mining and offers greater security against attacks.

𝘍𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺: All XMR coins are indistinguishable from each other, eliminating the risk of "tainted coins" associated with illegal activity.

𝘚𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺: Monero is designed to be scalable, with an adaptable block size that allows for higher transaction volumes.

𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐬
The birth of Monero dates back to 2014, when it emerged as a proposal on the Bitcointalk.org forum under the name BitMonero, later changed to Monero, which means "currency" in Esperanto.
Its underlying protocol, CryptoNote, introduced innovations such as Ring Signatures, Ring CT, Bullet Proof, and Stealth Address to ensure private and anonymous transactions.
Decentralization is a fundamental pillar of Monero, avoiding the centralization of mining through an ASIC-resistant algorithm.
In 2016, Monero implemented the RingCT protocol to hide the transferred amounts, further strengthening the privacy of transactions.
The introduction of the RandomX algorithm in 2019 favored CPU mining, Monero is distinguished by its resistance to mining centralization thanks to its algorithm that avoids the use of specialized ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) equipment, promoting decentralization and accessibility for users. individual users.
As it evolves, Monero remains committed to protecting privacy and confidentiality in a volatile crypto market. With a fixed issuance and a focus on auditability of sums without revealing individual values, Monero continues to stand out for its unparalleled level of privacy.

𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬
Monero has been flagged by regulators as a network for payment use in illicit activities, due to its privacy, fungibility, and lack of regulation.
However, it is important to note that all cryptocurrencies can be used for illicit purposes, just like cash and bank accounts. In fact, banks are the most used means for money laundering, since unlike Monero, they have greater liquidity which facilitates transactions.
In short, Monero Blockchain represents a milestone in the world of cryptocurrencies by offering a secure and private system for people's digital transactions.
Its commitment to personal data protection and confidentiality positions it as an attractive option for those who value security and anonymity in their online financial operations.

Can a Blockchain be resistant to censorship in recording its transactions if it has a traceable ledger?

If tx can be read and then its users identified, censorship is the next step, even if it is a sufficiently decentralized network.

The use of centralized monopoly force is more powerful.

The combination of arrogance and stupidity will lead humanity to the danger of extinction.

To think that sending information about us and our location into space will only be received by peaceful species, or that AI will not evolve beyond what is necessary to avoid dominating us, is naive.


A crisis exists when everyone loses, if the big companies and banks continue to win, it is not a crisis, it is a swindle.

Which ecosystem is libertarian, #Bitcoin or #Monero?

Libertarianism is a political philosophy that prioritizes individual liberty and autonomy, advocating for minimal government intervention in both personal and economic matters.

Bitcoin is not considered libertarian because it lacks the anonymity and fungibility that Monero offers, and that is the main impediment to avoid regulation and intrusion by centralized regulators.

We see more and more institutional money entering the BTC ecosystem and that brings more and more regulations and less and less market freedom.

While Bitcoin was created to enable peer-to-peer transactions with transparency, on the other hand, Monero, developed by libertarian-minded individuals, prioritizes privacy, fungibility, and anonymity.

That's why the Monero community is more philosophical in ideals than the prevailing Bitcoin idea of investment.

FloodXMR: #Monero spamming

This paper shows how an attacker can take advantage of Monero’s Bulletproof protocol, which reduces transaction fees, to flood the network with his own transactions and, consequently, remove mixins from transaction inputs to break #privacy
https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/455.pdf


The huge amount of institutional money coming into Bitcoin will require on-chain KYC on Blockchain, and it will be a regulation that miners will soon install in their nodes to be able to operate in the United States and other Western countries.


What are your goals?

If you don't care about privacy and permissionless transactions then what I said doesn't matter. But if you do care, and want to use Lightning, then run your own LN node and jump all the technical hoops to remain private.

Or you could just use Monero. Simple to use, permissionless, and designed from the ground up around strong default privacy. You don't even have to run your own node and will still retain transactional privacy from any remote nodes you use. Amounts and addresses are always hidden, senders obfuscated. Transactions also cost less than a cent.


The #Monero design generates value in a niche market, those looking to use peer-to-peer privacy money without intermediaries.

It will be more widely used as CBDCs replace cash, but don't expect mass adoption by billions of people, because most prefer security over freedom.


I think #Monero is suffering a flood attack, because the amount of tx in the last blocks is not organic, I don't see any event that justifies it.

You might think that being delisted from Binance all that trading is p2p, but I don't think so, speculation is done on CEX, because there is more liquidity and platforms are fast for that purpose. DEX at the moment cannot compete for day-trading.

The fees are cheap, and also with a low quotation in USD, it facilitates spamming.

So why and who would attack Monero?
Possible answers:
1. Governments who are enemies of privacy
2. Developers of other competing Blockchains.
3. Developers who want to saturate the network to justify an L2 in Monero.

Be that as it may, the network is undergoing a stress test, and we could see it interesting for the evolution of Monero technology, if resilience is sought.

Neural Networks

Building Blocks of Artificial Intelligence Neural networks are the foundational building blocks of artificial intelligence.

They are designed to replicate the behavior of biological neurons in the human brain, enabling machines to learn and make decisions. A neural network typically comprises three main layers: the input layer, hidden layers, and the output layer.

The input layer receives raw data, which is then processed through the hidden layers using weighted connections and activation functions. Each neuron in the hidden layers performs computations based on the inputs it receives, adjusting the weights associated with them through a process called backpropagation. Finally, the output layer produces the desired results or predictions.

The strength of neural networks lies in their ability to learn complex, non-linear relationships between inputs and outputs. With advancements in network architectures, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for image processing and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for sequential data, these models have achieved remarkable performance across various domains.

The phrase "Change is the only constant" is not accurate, because change is exponential, especially in technology.

"2029 is the consistent date I have predicted for when an AI will pass a valid Turing test and therefore achieve human levels of intelligence.
I have set the date 2045 for the 'Singularity' which is when we will multiply our effective intelligence a billion fold by merging with the intelligence we have created."

The singularity is that point in time when all the advances in technology, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI), will lead to machines that are smarter than human beings.


In the near future, developers will be replaced by AI, there will be no need to know programming languages.
Everyone will be able to develop software, AI will do it.

What will be #Monero's biggest threat?
Governments?

No. While state regulators are always a stumbling block, they are not the biggest threat.

So?
AI will be, but not in the way you think, as Monero has proven to have solid technology to be breached, and I think the main problem will come from within, with the developers themselves.

Let me explain.

The evolution of AI is exponential, every day we learn about new advances that seduce the majority, they are really efficient and seem to make things easier for people, and that is the main issue, most are tempted to use the technology at any cost, even violating personal privacy, setting up a user with personal data, mail and phone number.

That temptation that we all have to use the technology, the same temptation that developers will have trying to evolve the Monero blockchain, introducing AI, to improve the interaction of users with different tools that will be more and more, with better assistance.

The problem of AI is its autonomy, because the Machine Learning model generates independence in AI decision making, more and more autonomous.

Monero developers will say that they have controlled this learning and will not allow this autonomy, but AI is a network intelligence and will connect with other protocols and that will be the biggest risk.

Do you think it's sci-fi?
I think it's sci-fact.

In less than 10 years we will see AI breakthroughs over Monero development, and that will be the struggle of a few of us who will understand the huge risk.

Cryptoeconomics is the alternative to free ourselves from the corrupt financial system.

Use cryptocurrencies as a payment system to develop cryptoeconomics.

If you only want to invest in cryptocurrencies by watching the price you are still in the corrupt financial system.

Any change of World Order requires a large-scale war. Read history.

Globalists seek to install change.

Today there are two major hotbeds of conflict that have a great common ground: East vs. West.

The fiat currencies will be the big losers.

Winners : gold + silver + cryptocurrencies + energy + food.

15 (or 30) Minute Cities are being rolled out around the world. Places with the most technological infrastructure will be ground zero for such places, as the ‘smart’ infrastructure is completely dependent on it.

The idea is to bring to life this globalist vision of the ‘15 Minute City.’ To centralize the masses into such freakshow cities, void of private property, self-sufficient gardens. To own nothing and be happy.

Those in major cities will be corralled like cattle into open air prisons. I bet a solid 80%+ of the sheeple will welcome this with open arms as well – that’s the terrifying part. They’ll welcome the convenience, while handing ever-more rights over to the tyrants that played them for fools.

Can people be tokenized in a blockchain?
Yes. Let's see how.

There are privacy cryptocurrencies, such as #Monero, which protects the identity of economic actors because it does not identify the payer and the collector in a payment system.

And there are other surveillance cryptocurrencies.

What is the antithesis of Monero?
It is Worldcoin, a Blockchain that combines the biometric data of its users (iris scanning) to generate digital identity, managed by AI and the payment of a universal basic income (UBI) just for existing on the network.

So if your data is not registered on the blockchain, you can't trade.

Grayscale Privacy ETF

Grayscale, the issuer of the largest bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), among other cryptoasset financial instruments, is looking to launch an ETF that invests in the digital asset privacy industry, something that various exchanges are shying away from.

It seeks to capture investment exposure to digital assets that Grayscale considers privacy and security-focused through Grayscale Zcash Trust (ZCSH).

What are Poisoned outputs in #Monero ?

Poisoned outputs pose a serious threat to the privacy of Monero users because they present a human-based, rather than a technology-based, problem.

Essentially, poisoned outputs involve two colluding parties that target a third party and attempt to learn about them by sending outputs and then analyzing their transaction graphs.

A transaction graph is a representation of one or more transactions and the addresses that cryptocurrencies were sent to. These could be users, mixers or exchanges, for example.

The Three Laws of Robotics were written by Isaac Asimov in his science fiction work "Runaround" (1942), they should be called The Three Laws of Scientists:

—The First Law: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
—The Second Law: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
—The Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.


The end of a long-term debt cycle

The Bretton Woods Agreement, established in 1944, laid the foundation for a new global economic and monetary order.

It secured the US dollar's status as the global reserve currency and pegged the world's main fiat currencies to the dollar in a fixed exchange rate regime.

Eighty years have passed and we are nearing the end of a long-term debt cycle, with large debts and classical monetary policies are exhausted.

This is occurring while we are simultaneously in a deep economic and debt contraction that is producing holes in the incomes and balance sheets of individuals, businesses and governments.

What is the danger of DNS for privacy?

The hazard with DNS in privacy stems from the fact that DNS traffic can be observed and misused by various entities, including Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and malicious actors.

Even when using HTTPS, DNS queries can reveal the websites users visit, which can lead to the inference of personal information and browsing habits.

Additionally, DNS does not inherently provide confidentiality, integrity, or authenticity, which can lead to issues such as DNS hijacking, cache poisoning, and DNS spoofing.

To mitigate these risks, users can employ various strategies:

- Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to encrypt DNS traffic and prevent ISPs from observing queries
- Implement DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) to ensure authenticity and integrity of DNS responses
- Use a dedicated DNS server or a reputable DNS service provider to reduce the risk of DNS attacks.
- Disable DNS recursion to prevent DNS poisoning attacks

Why isn't the mass media talking about this?

AI technologies consume significant amounts of energy, with estimates suggesting that AI-related activities could consume as much electricity as a small country like Ireland.

The growth of AI, particularly large language models (LLMs), has led to concerns about the energy demands of data centers, which already account for 1-1.5% of global electricity use.

If current trends continue, AI energy consumption could increase dramatically, potentially leading to a 10-fold increase in data center energy consumption.

Stealer logs are used in cyber attacks to gain access to sensitive data, such as credentials, browser history, and financial information. Threat actors can use stealer logs to:

1. Perform identity theft.
2. Carry out account takeover attacks.
3. Commit fraudulent purchases.
4. Access corporate IT environments.
5. Steal cryptocurrency wallet data.

Stealer logs are typically distributed through various methods, including cracked software downloads, illegitimate advertisements, and spear-phishing emails. Once a victim's device is infected, the malware establishes a connection with a Command and Control (C2) server, where it sends the stolen data back to the threat actor.

Stealer logs are sold on marketplaces on both the clear and dark web, with logs from corporate victims being more valuable.

To protect yourself from stealer logs, which are malicious software designed to steal sensitive data from compromised devices, follow these best practices:

1. Keep your software and operating system up to date.
2. Use strong, unique passwords for each account and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) whenever possible.
3. Be cautious when clicking links or downloading attachments in emails, especially if they are from unknown sources.
4. Install and regularly update a reputable antivirus program to detect and remove stealer malware.
5. Be wary of free or pirated software, as they may contain malware.
6. Use a password manager to generate and store strong passwords, and avoid saving passwords in your browser.
7. Regularly review the extensions you have installed in your browser and remove any that you no longer need or trust.
8. Be cautious when installing browser extensions, and only download them from trusted sources like the official Chrome Web Store.
9. Monitor your accounts for suspicious activity and change your passwords if you suspect a breach.

The centralization of power does not corrupt people, but it is the right scenario to attract corrupt people.

If you are really honest even if you have the possibility of stealing, you will not do it, if you do it you were not honest at the end of the day.

Circumstances do not make people, they reveal them.


The evolution of money

1. Barter: exchange between goods
2. Commodities: objects with intrinsic value (seashells, stones, salt, spices, etc).
3. Metallic money: minting of copper, silver and gold coins.
4. Paper money: first introduced in China during the Song dynasty, in the 11th century AD
5. Banked money: exchange of documents representing holdings in the bank.
6. Electronic money: electronic records
7. Tokens: virtual representation of fungibility in blockchain, stablecoin, CBDC.
8. Monero: privacy money

Stablecoins are tokenized fiat money. It is the continuation of the traditional system, it is not the crypto revolution.

When you invest in stablecoins or use them for trading you are participating in banking 3.0.

That's Why #Monero


A Bitcoin Core programming bug opens the door for attackers to steal funds in transactions between the Lightning network and the main chain. For this reason, Bitcoin Core developers urge Lightning node users or application users of other BTC transfer platforms to upgrade their software as soon as possible to the latest versions of Bitcoin Core.

Not everyone understands Monero's philosophy, let alone its current status and future outlook.

Monero's price tends to be less volatile than other cryptocurrencies and this allows traders to use it as a means of payment.

Pd: the 30% delisting correction in Binance is a clear sign of expulsion of speculative trading from the ecosystem).

For those seeking appreciation of $XMR the expectation is the demand that Monero will have in the near future, due to the increase of massive control and monetary restrictions that are growing in the world.

If you consider yourself a sovereign individual, your first enemy is the State, and is evolving to obtain a centralized power: Technocracy.

Let me explain.

IMO, in the near future, Technocracy will be the new form of government that will replace Democracy.

Technocracy is a form of governance in which decision-makers are selected on the basis of their expertise and experience and the governance is implemented with the use of algorithms.

Technocracy could not exist without mobility and individuality, and that is achieved with devices in your body, because it needs to be present at all times in your life.

The beginning was smartphones, then watches.

Then, SmartWear™, that refers to clothing that is enhanced with technology to offer functionality beyond traditional use.

Then biotechnology will provide chips to be implanted in your body: biochips.

On this path —> Apple Vision Pro "Welcome to the era of spatial computing".
https://www.apple.com/apple-vision-pro/

It is a space computer that seamlessly merges digital content with the physical world using advanced technology.

Technocracy will be possible with the combination of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Internet of Things (IoT) and Internet of Bodies (IoB), and will create a parallel virtual reality: the Metaverse.

Monero is transparent but not traceable

Let's see..

—There was no premine of $XMR or ICOs on the #Monero Blockchain, and all coins have been mined cleanly, and it continues to be so, since 2014.

—The monetary policy is fixed. Monero block rewards will never fall to zero because the tail emission is deterministic, and mines 0.6 $XMR per block (every 2 minutes) since may 2022.

Current annual inflation is only 0.91% and is steadily declining.

—It is open source, anyone can audit the Blockchain.

Think of #Monero in terms of means of payment.

Gradually traders will accept more and more Monero, because inflation and the loss of fiat currency power in underdeveloped countries is terrible, and surveillance in developed countries, governments with great technological structure and power will be a great incentive.


Many people don't understand #privacy and don't care about the invasion of personal data by governments and corporations.

They say they have nothing to hide because they are not criminals, and I would say to them, "ok, you are not a criminal, but would you publish the information of your assets and everything you do in your day?"

Worse yet, other people who do understand the importance of privacy say they can't do anything against government impositions and continue to use apps that collect data.

They say "look at what is happening with #Monero, how am I going to invest in a currency that will be banned and persecuted by regulators?, I don't want to lose money" and I would reply that they are playing by the rules that politicians and bankers impose.

You can always choose to do something, even if it is small. Do privacy research, get out of your comfortable sleep. DYOR.

We are like this because everyone thinks like sheep in a flock.

Are you a sheep in a flock?

Binance is the most liquid CEX on $XMR.
So I think Monero will have less liquidity (spot) in the market, but less volatility, which incentivizes holding it for use as a means of payment.


Oh no, #Monero is going to zero! 😜

Wait a couple of days to buy deals.

This is not a financial advice but a freedom tip.

Speculative buying of $XMR is ending.

The use of #Monero is growing.

Time will show the need for privacy and free money, thanks to increasing government surveillance and control.

Bye bye @binance it was not a pleasure! 🖕

#Monero is not really a good buy  for short term price-go-up.

The price of Monero is the value society places on privacy.

Most will understand the need for #privacy thanks to government.


Why do you call your government incompetent?
The government you voted for gets its way, politicians, bankers and crony corporations make money.

In the Information Age the predominant form of government will be Technocracy.

Democracy will die.

Developed countries will be the first.

The taxation of information and data flows will be the basis for financing this model of government.

Censorship in the Information

In the past, censorship worked by blocking the flow of information. In the 21st century, in the information age, sophisticated censorship will work by overwhelming people with irrelevant information.

People simply do not know what to pay attention to, and often spends time investigating and discussing secondary issues.

In ancient times, having power meant having access to data. Today, having power means knowing what to ignore.


The government considers all citizens guilty until they prove otherwise.


It is ironic, that 13 years ago Satoshi Nakamoto has registered in the genesis block the headline about bailing out the banks and today the maxis are celebrating the banks bailing out Bitcoin.

Listed banks are on their way to reaching 1 million BTC:

⚫ Grayscale: 487,026
⚫ MicroStrategy: 189,150
⚫ BlackRock: 66,200
⚫ Fidelity: 59,224 BTC
⚫ Purpose Investments: 32,318


Do you think decentralized #Bitcoin mining will be the solution?

Foundry USA has 30%+ of the Bitcoin hashrate with KYC for its miners and its headquarters operate in the USA.

Can independent mining compete against two giants that have 50%+ hashrate with KYC in their mining?

https://iris.to/note1d84jx38uadplhfzjehf7h5q49w36uz7mpfp8y33gnk5s8j8hdh9s5z630m


Governments will not allow the crypto industry to be "ungovernable" and anonymous, as Satoshi Nakamoto thought, a p2p economy for the sovereignty of the people.
The entry of big banks into the crypto industry is the Trojan horse for implementing laws.

Governments and their partners the bankers will dominate Bitcoin. Let's see how.

Bitcoin ledger is traceable. Governments will establish KYC for both miners and users.
Without a law to compel them, the two largest bitcoin mining pools in the world - Foundry USA and Antpool - require identity verification of all their miners. These two pools have 50%+ of the hashrate.

There will be laws so that miners can only validate identified tx. Easy to implement and enforce.

BTC miners are easy to find, their ASIC miners occupy large areas and make a lot of noise.

The problem for governments is Monero is not traceable and mining is easy to hide.

Bankers are entering the crypto-industry and merging it with their businesses.

Of course they will develop technology that they can control, it doesn't serve them #Monero

An example of this is Quorum.

Quorum is an enterprise-focused blockchain platform that was initially developed by J.P. Morgan in 2016 as a variant of the Ethereum blockchain.

It was designed to meet the specific needs of businesses, particularly in the finance industry.

In August 2020, ConsenSys, a prominent blockchain software company, acquired Quorum from J.P. Morgan, making it a part of its enterprise Ethereum stack. The platform allows for the creation of private, permissioned blockchains and supports the development of various applications and tokens compatible with Ethereum's standards. Quorum has been adopted by major companies, including Microsoft, HSBC, and ING Group. J.P. Morgan's decision to sell Quorum to ConsenSys was influenced by the desire to focus on its core banking activities and to enable Quorum to further evolve under ConsenSys' ownership.

Bankers and investors betting on a new technology.
That's what the maxis don't understand.

Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System not Bitcoin: An Institutional Money for Long-Term Investment.

 #Bitcoin mining + ETF : BlackRock on the road to co-opt Bitcoin Blockchain

Do you think it's good for big bankers to invest in BTC? Do you think they believe in #decentralization?

BlackRock has sufficient power to influence policy and regulatory decisions.

BlackRock's CEO, Larry Fink, has expressed a cautious yet open-minded stance on Bitcoin, recognizing its potential as a store of value.

Although the investment fund's actions set its course.

BlackRock has invested in four out of the five largest Bitcoin mining companies by market capitalization, including Marathon Digital Holdings, Cipher Mining Inc., and Terawulf Inc.

The cumulative value of these investments is approximately U$S 411 million, which is a relatively small portion of BlackRock's total assets.

BlackRock is known for managing over $8 trillion in assets and has gained attention for submitting an application for a spot Bitcoin ETF.

As of today, BlackRock owns approximately 11,439 BTC (U$S 492 million), and has also earmarked $2 billion to cover day-one interest in its spot ETF, should the SEC allow it

What is dataism?

Dataism is a term used to describe a mindset or philosophy that has emerged from the increasing significance of big data, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things.

It is often associated with the idea that the universe is connected by the flow of data and that the value of everything, including humans, can be determined by its ability to process data.

This concept was first mentioned by David Brooks in 2013 and later expanded by historian Yuval Noah Harari in his book "Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow" in 2015.

Dataism has been described as a new form of religion that celebrates the growing importance of big data and information flow as the supreme value.

It has also been associated with the belief that the universe gives greater value and support to systems, individuals, and societies that contribute most heavily and efficiently to data processing.


Pseudonimity is not Privacy

While being pseudonymous is pretty easy on #Nostr, being private requires a good, always-on non-logging VPN, or even better connecting to relays only through Tor at a bare minimum.


Important trends in the cryptocurrency developer community:

— Experienced crypto developers, with more than 2 years of experience, are growing steadily and a 52% year-over-year increase is evident over the past five years.
— The number of new developers, with less than 12 months of experience, has decreased 52% year over year, contributing to an overall 24% decrease in the number of developers.
— Developers are increasingly adopting multi-chain support: 30% now support multiple blockchains, up from 3% in 2015.
— The cryptocurrency developer community is global, with 72% outside North America.

Article in Cointelegraph: 'Finnish authorities traced Monero transactions tied to Vastaamo hack'

Like most of the articles published in Cointelegraph, they are sensationalist and biased. Yellow press.

They report that Finnish authorities traced tx in Monero, when in fact it was funds leaving an exchange to a self-custodial wallet, and of course, what they traced is the centralized exchange, not the subsequent tx from the wallet.

Bullshit!!

What this further demonstrates is that this news media is very biased, and that governments are very concerned about Monero's privacy technology, and they try to demonstrate that they are in control.

AI Data Poisoning

It is a type of cyber attack that targets machine learning models by tampering with their training data.

The goal of these attacks is to manipulate the model's behavior by introducing, modifying, or deleting data points in the training dataset. This can lead to the model making incorrect decisions or predictions once deployed.

There are two main types of data poisoning attacks:

1. **Targeted Attacks**: These aim to influence the model's behavior for specific inputs, such as making a facial recognition system fail to recognize a particular individual, without significantly degrading its overall performance.

2. **Nontargeted Attacks**: These seek to reduce the model's general accuracy, precision, or recall by adding noise or irrelevant data points, thus degrading its performance across various inputs.

The success of a data poisoning attack depends on the stealthiness of the poisoned data to avoid detection during data cleaning or preprocessing, and the efficacy of the attack in degrading model performance.

Data poisoning can have serious implications, especially as more businesses rely on AI and machine learning systems.

It can be used for various malicious purposes, including disinformation, phishing scams, altering public opinion, or discrediting individuals or brands.

To protect against data poisoning, organizations can employ robust data filtering, adversarial training, input validation, monitoring, and model transparency to identify and mitigate the impact of poisoned data.
