I think lightning and nostr proved a very important concept that may have gone overlooked.

Using completely open protocols and freedom incentives, you all donated over 3.5m sats to me with one ask. This is actually a serious amount of money. No VCs, no boards, no strings. And we are still very small.

I hope this signals to other developers to take a chance and build on these protocols. The community highly values this kind of work.

I am extremely humbled by the outpouring of support, it did make me a bit emotional if I'm being honest. It's highly motivating to keep building, and it basically proves that nostr and lightning is definitely gonna make it.

Thank you all again so much 🥺🥺🫂🫂🙏🙏

Good morning, remember to try to stay humble.  I see too many people getting FOMO. Use no leverage; stay the course of humbly stacking.


🚨 IBIT options begin trading.

We can see today and in the coming days another big milestone, if we have record volumes as we did with spot ETFs.

High bullish interest at this point.

In the 1930s and 1940s, during the Nazi regime in Germany, Jews and homosexuals had to hide their identities to avoid persecution and even death at the hands of the Nazis. Today, in 2024, the German police chief has recommended that Jews and homosexuals hide their identities again to avoid being targeted by Arabs.

All models are wrong, but some are useful and we need to respect them.

The company also began using the term "BTC Yield" as a performance indicator, to reflect the growth of Bitcoin reserves in relation to each share issued.

Saylor’s playbook has already spread and several companies have become passive buyers of BTC via excess cash flow.

⌛ Block 870857: Important News of the Week

https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/870857/


In November 2021, American police surrounded a lakeside mansion in Georgia.

In the basement, they found a safe.

Inside, there was $661,000 in cash, gold bars, and a jar of Cheetos.

The jar held 51,680.32 Bitcoins.

https://image.nostr.build/45151a6a5c0369b24bb8e290a6e152c2111acb4d375fe598b373344db69650df.jpg

To understand how this fortune ended up there, we need to know James "Loaded" Zhong – the owner of the mansion.

A classic nerd, he loved exploring obscure forums online.

In 2009, one post in particular caught his attention.

Eight years later, James would become one of the biggest #Bitcoin whales.

https://image.nostr.build/2ad0499e57f9a4af12ae1f7d253451344cacda91ef89414e4adf390d946ac5ab.jpg
https://image.nostr.build/e28daaffe36c60cec9a83ada8ffe9e765e4db5c3abd4a6227cac7f54c64c8f45.jpg

Curious, Zhong mined a few thousand #BTC at home, just to see what would happen.

He had just entered college with near-perfect entrance exam scores.

Like any 18- or 19-year-old, he spent a good portion of his #BTC on parties.

Alcohol, psychedelics, and other harder stuff.

https://image.nostr.build/1baea3f0a71ae719cdd53185a28d3ee63013a3b9ad7db2cda63efc55a914e9e5.jpg

Ironically, James's addiction made him even richer.

For convenience, he started buying his powder from a site called Silk Road, the largest Bitcoin marketplace of the time.

Then, one day, when he went to withdraw #BTC from the site, our protagonist encountered something unexpected...

https://image.nostr.build/6d59ded79d5caf77e4105cea2042517a757f77ebe6888876914578f00138b55c.jpg

The site was incredibly slow.

Impatient, James started clicking the "withdraw" button furiously 😤

When he checked his wallet, he was stunned to see he had received DOUBLE the balance he actually had to withdraw 😮

He blinked, checked again. And voilà.

He had just found the real-life "Klapaucius."

https://video.nostr.build/41bf4a0864d5cf827aab35bca54633b30e27a8711ede85efacfbad0f6c46b041.mp4

Silk Road had a flaw that allowed users to exploit a second function while the program was performing another task.

In this case, "double-spending bitcoin."

In the following days, Zhonginho lived the happiest time of his life ☺

He drained about 8% of the site's reserves 😱

https://image.nostr.build/74b25e705503a565b1bc3b314e8547786be306c3c938e84bdd39fdf68e7e8255.jpg

He then reported the bug to the Silk Road owner and, as a reward, received some extra coins.

He sent 40,000 BTC to one address and 10,000 to another, where they remained for almost a decade.

James Zhong, at 22 years old, was now one of the largest Bitcoin holders on the planet 👑

https://image.nostr.build/7f3ca2f46249678381b116f15c30712f16788d3ca091348c45696860a8743e5d.png

What would you do if you had 50k #BTC stashed away? 🤔💭

James chose to make waves online.

I bet many of you would do the same.

He pretended to be an "asset manager" on Bitcointalk and built a legendary persona, one that would go down in history.

His name there was "LOADED" 🔫

https://image.nostr.build/a94c109d4c3f9c1f744b9a7ca749b5996a7c176dba54ddf89285597550e72494.jpg

The theft happened in 2012.

Zhong's coins were worth $1 million. He entered college "with life sorted."

But #BTC went from $10 to $1000 between 2012 and 2014 📈

By the time he graduated at 24, his coins were worth over $30 million.

He bought a house, a car – and started funding the party for his "friends."

https://image.nostr.build/64cadf157e8608dc23f21ee2841f860f943813f4e113e0f231f0f89f8c58ae9a.jpg

Up until then, he had only spent the BTC he earned from mining.

If he had kept it that way, he probably would have never been caught.

But, intoxicated by euphoria, he made a mistake…

... and planted the seed of his downfall during his 3rd bull cycle in 2017.

https://image.nostr.build/b17b5d0b8a6bd9ae503dcb1582ca510b01bc49233d98bd075a116e57f0b816d7.jpg

At the height of the #Bitcoin "civil war," LOADED got carried away on Bitcointalk.

He challenged Roger Ver to a $20M bet, #BTC vs. BCash.

To prove his seriousness, he signed a message with the key to a wallet containing $44M in BTC.

But then, "on-chain rats" entered the scene...

https://image.nostr.build/f76ff1cbaeafce17e9a3f1fd6e7b856e11e1f8690a39cfceb6d189a40308e312.jpg

... and soon they linked the wallet to the infamous address 1DkyBEK...

... widely known for its connection to the Silk Road drain, years prior.

🫥 After this revelation, LOADED disappeared from the forum and never posted again.

He knew he had made a huge mistake.

And it seemed he already anticipated the worst.

https://image.nostr.build/8ae4d7b630710ff9c231e35cfcff20ef6c9fc3b5f3f6301676ecec930dd6e81f.jpg

The 2017 bull run arrived, and James switched to "heir" mode.

The #BTC he had mined at $10 were now worth $10,000.

He bought several Lambos, rented yachts, traveled the world, and invested nearly $10M in real estate.

The flaunting didn't go unnoticed.

Then, on a fateful night in 2019...

https://image.nostr.build/6c4230d160bfecff98b3adafddbb377003a092abaab9986cede85d55af362c1e.jpg

James' house was robbed.

They took $400K in cash.

The broken windows shook our Bitcoin mogul.

He called the police, and a case was opened.

The investigation went nowhere.

The thief was never caught.

But the case caught the attention of the IRS...

https://image.nostr.build/a3d44757c4bd296f54365a3fb5d0caec46346cf6cfd998a286678412b65ee729.jpg

After all, who keeps $400K in cash at home?!

They requested browsing records from Jaminho's ISP 👀

Mapped his wallets.

And eventually, they uncovered the connection first mentioned on Bitcointalk years earlier:

between LOADED wallets... and the original hacker from Silk Road 🫢

https://image.nostr.build/c462160a40ff447499bf9767a0ec04ded11bc1c6b5408003a5a56fae13681606.jpg

James never sold any of the BTC stolen from Silk Road.

The site’s owner even thanked him for reporting the bug.

He would have remained free if it weren't for that message and that bet in 2017.

Or, thinking about it, maybe it was just a matter of time before he got caught 🤔

https://image.nostr.build/99651d8a88d2c51b2a34f92168fa73bde21e6c2be764d84becf37cfda921bf4c.jpg

Social deprivation was Zhong's Achilles heel.

Fortune had made him forget Rule No. 1 of Fight Club.

CNBC has a good document. on.

He received undercover agents, showed them suitcases of money he used to impress girls, and opened a laptop with 1,500 #BTC

https://image.nostr.build/c76618131edb2403d943ec489158c6da5083ed293a045c3b5bf619bc9d75ff6d.png

James lived a movie-worthy life from 21 to 33 🎞

Imagine watching #Bitcoin soar from $5 to $50K 🚀😱

A 10,000x increase in value.

And unlike some Faria Limers out there, this guy had no fear of "not being sufficiently allocated."

He was LOADED.

https://image.nostr.build/9f57ee1b965023b4bcb5d97c94dd7535b2dd9076106de80dae3659abaa6c8ce7.png

This is the story of one of the biggest WHALES in Bitcoin history:

James "Loaded" Zhong 🐳

James was convicted last year for money laundering at the age of 33.

He was arrested in Alabama in July 2023.

https://image.nostr.build/bb78519356fe3fb80174c7105b9a8cc16c8e875c5240251f630c8c52ab68be47.png

And that's how we ended up at the mansion siege in Georgia on 11/9/21.

The second-largest seizure in the history of the U.S. Department of Justice:

$661.9K in cash
51,680.32 #Bitcoin
Millions in real estate
Millions in precious metals

Everyone has that friend who invested in #bitcoin early and became a bon vivant...

... but imagine being friends with LOADED?!

They say he handed out paper wallets of #BTC at night to everyone. Paid for trips. VIP access.

In the end, none of his friends were seen at the trial.

Stay humble & stack sats, may end up being the greatest advice I ever received.

The Brazilian government’s deficit has already surpassed R$100 billion, and state-owned companies are facing record losses. Brazil is likely heading for another hyperinflation, and perhaps even a currency swap. It looks like we’re heading toward Brazil’s 8th currency…

U.S. tax regulations: 70,000 pages.

The biggest increases occurred in the 1930s and 1970s, coinciding with the end of the gold standard.

Notice that the more the currency loses value and becomes detached from reality, the higher the taxes and bureaucracy become.

A true theft of the century!

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called Vladimir Putin to ask for an end, or at least a reduction, in Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities. Today, just one day later, Putin responded to the German request by launching 120 missiles and 90 drones against power and heating plants in major Ukrainian cities.

As a content creator, I believe the adoption of Nostr will happen naturally, as social media platforms are already doing the marketing for it. Many of my content pieces are being banned, and my channel isn’t growing anymore. After testing Nostr with a few profiles, I realized there are no barriers to entry. If the audience likes your content, you’ll be very well monetized. I reached 1 million sats in just one month with some of my profiles. This is an impressive amount, especially considering you’re being paid in the BEST MONEY in history. In one month, I basically became a millionaire.

RKJ opposed the vaccine and advocated for a "strategic reserve" of Bitcoin to replace gold at Fort Knox. Truly a solid stance.

Since the 1990s, American life expectancy has fallen behind that of the average European, and newer generations now face an even worse outlook, with a life expectancy lower than that of their parents. This is due to factors like the opioid epidemic, rising mental health issues, and the systematic contamination of food and water.

It would be great if RKJ could eliminate mandatory fluoride in water, tackle the opioid industry's subsidies, and remove incentives for unhealthy foods, especially those targeting children.

Story time:

6 years ago my mother in law was left penniless in a surprise divorce at age 67.

My father in law (piece of shit) had left her with nothing and planned to dump her on social security.

She was working as a pre school teacher making $14 an hour.

We had to move fast.

Father in law literally shotgun divorced her.

Showed up at the doorstep with a notary and manipulated an emotionally fragile woman into a binding legal agreement.

I was pissed.

I showed up a few hours later with a series of financial plans.

And with tears still streaming down her face in the kitchen of her tiny apartment, she picked one.

I gave her 3 options.

1. Aggressive
2. Extremely aggressive
3. Dave Ramsey rice and beans

She chose number 3.

Over the next 4 years she rode her bike to work everyday. Watered down her lemonade. Spent nothing on herself. Walked dogs for extra income. Took weekend shifts at the preschool. Showed up early. Stayed late and against all odds was able to save 12k a year on a salary of only 27k.

I set up a couple retirement accounts for her and whenever she would scratch $1,000 together she would give it to me and I would smash buy GBTC or MSTR.

My mother in law has never invested a day in her life and I didn’t want the news or some boomer friend to freak her out, so my wife and I just tell her she’s invested in “the market” 😂

When Bitcoin (the market) is doing good, we tell her and when it’s not we just… don’t tell her lol

So she’s effectively shielded from the emotional volatility of hodling. Which makes her a very good hodler.

Fast forward to today.

I helped her retire from the preschool. She is now living with us and helping look after her grandchildren.

She went from being near suicidal. My wife and I were legitimately concerned about her mental health. To a happy healthy and vibrant grandmother.

And as of yesterday she crossed 500k in retirement accounts.

I expect she’ll be a millionaire soon.

She can now comfortably retire with dignity.

This is not something that would have been possible without Bitcoin.

As cool as it is to see people like @saylor make billions of dollars these are the stories I live for.

The average person fixing their life with bitcoin.

It’s so fucking beautiful man.

Life’s good.

Jack Teixeira, a former member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, was sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty in March to leaking classified documents about the conflict in Ukraine. The information was shared in a Discord chat room and included U.S. intelligence updates and military plans that affected national security and strategic alliances. Teixeira, 22, held a high-level security clearance and worked on cyber defense systems.

During the trial, Assistant District Attorney Jared Dolan recommended a sentence of 16 and a half years, saying the severity of the sentence would serve as an example to other military personnel. In his defense, Teixeira's attorneys argued that he did not intend to harm the United States, but rather to share his interest in world events with friends. They described him as a socially isolated individual with no criminal record and suggested that an 11-year sentence would be sufficient. Teixeira apologized in court, taking full responsibility for his actions.

GROUND ZERO: LONDON 🇬🇧

The headline in block 0 has a different wording than the version published online.

The phrasing matches the print edition, which was only available in England and Brussels on that day.

Either Satoshi was there, or someone sent him a photo (leaving a trace).

https://image.nostr.build/48ffc23b736d3e2dc7328be8d5b37e94a9f66d762eeb447d1df54e23104dd961.jpg

THE BELGIAN CONNECTION 🇧🇪

The 2nd citation in the whitepaper from 2008 didn’t exist online—it was only in print. It was given to attendees at a 1999 conference in Haasrode, Belgium.

This paper is from Benelux universities. It was even presented in 1999 at Stanford, but with a different reference list than the one replicated in the whitepaper (citations 3, 4, and 5).

https://image.nostr.build/c8a07fd34f2d87028561cd5754558c67a4de51592c69877a62b2a87d0f11b8a0.jpg

HAL WAS RUNNING 🏃♂

Hal Finney is a frequent suspect, but his family has strongly denied it.

On the morning of Saturday, 4/18/09, he was running a half marathon while Satoshi was exchanging emails (more than one, with questions and answers) with developer Mike Hearn.

THE LOS ANGELES IP 📍

Satoshi was in L.A. a week after the genesis block.

He always used Tor to hide his IP when online.

But in the beginning, Bitcoin didn’t have addresses. To send/receive, one’s IP was exposed. And on 1/10/09, Hal published a log showing Satoshi's IP.

https://image.nostr.build/a2a30b45d3cfd0d1052ece8d27ad0c8793f67c33d1480084491f8e719e5d06ba.png

THE FINAL CITATION 📜

The paper’s bibliography is outdated and brief.

Notably, the 8th citation stands out: a "book X" on probability theory, published in 1957.

Where did Satoshi find this book?

Why cite it, but make no mention of Chaum, Finney, or Szabo?

https://image.nostr.build/2ba10323b3ca09e3f41f50ce18d1b718024bcccb164c17ac4de62e405e877248.jpg

CARIBBEAN HOLIDAY 🏖

Peter Thiel, PayPal magnate, suspects that Satoshi might have been among the 140 attendees at a financial cryptography conference held at the InterIslands Hotel in Anguilla, February 21-24, 2000.

E-gold was one of the event’s sponsors.

https://image.nostr.build/25b33842dcf923f0d6b4ddbd5f4e18478859728fbbc1f185f60ce268c8b5d353.jpg

BRITISH "LOOSE" LANGUAGE 👅

Satoshi heavily used British expressions ("bloody hard," "defenCe," "grEy," "coloUr").
He used the European date format (dd/mm/yyyy).
He frequently referenced the Euro.

In some cases, he seemed to use a grammar checker.

He also put two spaces after periods.

https://image.nostr.build/49714e2ae002c330966dd4d6483ddc5416ab1ecd9db8d2c1b3244614918ea98e.jpg

WEALTHY FRIENDS 🤑

In the latest emails revealed by Martti Malmi, it’s clear that Satoshi had access to resources to fund the development of #BTC.

He claimed it was donations. So, there were people he was talking to about the project. Or it was his own money...

https://image.nostr.build/6221f535e15842337fc8b8b2004d44288867df9e66282fd05a8b29694608db22.png

A PLANNED DEPARTURE 👋

The creator's disappearance may seem abrupt. Satoshi said goodbye as soon as he learned about Gavin A.'s discussions with the CIA.

But his departure was planned and gradual.

Satoshi gradually shut down his hashrate in 4 stages—when the network was already running on its own.

https://image.nostr.build/d323d27d1d484dfcad4bbf8e335a9d92cd648a529bfae151cc93416ede81e1e9.jpg

His self-declared birthday, 4/5/75, has digits that sum to 21 (5 + 4 + 7 + 5).

The date of block #1, 1/9/2009, also sums to 21 (9 + 1 + 2 + 9).

The halving happens every 210,000 blocks.

Until the 21 million #Bitcoin are exhausted, in 2140.

https://video.nostr.build/56871450e9df8847444032d3929bbddef700fc0e3e81348a16bfca9a11647cd8.mp4


Despite the name being by nature a paradox (government efficiency? what?), what can we expect from two CEOs taking on a role that aims to optimize government spending?

DOGE is one of those cases where reality is more impressive than fiction.

“Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.”

CONTEXT:
James 5:4 addresses the unjust treatment of workers by wealthy landowners, warning them that God sees their oppression and will bring justice.

SUMMARY:
The verse condemns the wealthy for withholding wages, emphasizing that God hears the cries of the oppressed and will hold oppressors accountable.

DEVO THOUGHT:
God cares about justice and sees how we treat others. Let’s ensure that our actions reflect fairness, compassion, and integrity in every interaction and relationship.

The National Security Advisor is one of the most important and strategic positions in the White House, with its occupant capable of outlining US actions in international conflicts.

In the 1st photo, we see Jake Sullivan, a Yale-educated lawyer with no military experience, current National Security Advisor to Joe Biden.

In the 2nd photo, we see Mike Waltz, a member of the US Army special forces (Green Berets), with several missions in Iraq, Afghanistan and "secret locations in the Middle East", holder of four Bronze Stars for bravery, chosen to be Donald Trump's National Security Advisor.

🚨 USA 🇺🇸 : Broadcaster “CNN” is about to fire some of its top names in a round of layoffs according to the “Daily Mail” newspaper.

The action may be linked to the drop in audience. In 2016, the broadcaster had an average of 13.3 million viewers during prime time. Today, it only has around 800,000.


In the latest BofA Fund Manager Survey (FMS), a resurgence of global inflation is now viewed as the top "tail risk." In November, 32% of surveyed investors identified rising inflation as their biggest risk, up from 26% in October. Concerns about geopolitical conflict dropped to second place at 21%, down from 33% in the previous month.

The future interest rate curve of the Fed was adjusted by the market this month, predicting less intense cuts than previously expected.

However, it remains on the same anticipated path.

The Fed is expected to continue easing the cost of credit in 2025. From 2026 onward, it becomes much harder to predict.

USA 🇺🇸 : Donald Trump presented an outline of the plan for education, which foresees the elimination of the department of education, passing more powers in the matter to the states.
He also called for the dismantling of diversity initiatives in education and cutting federal funding for schools or programs that feature "critical race theory, gender ideology or other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content."

The plan also foresees the return of prayers in schools.

🚨 For the first time, a government is being overthrown by 3D-printed weapons 🔫

The longest-lasting civil war today took an unexpected turn... when the resistance adopted plastic weapons and cryptocurrencies.

You NEED to know what's happening in Myanmar 👇

https://image.nostr.build/a2fdf9026e54b6b1da842627fb5b8c4bd194211838d838b3c0d791eb5db65441.jpg

https://image.nostr.build/90c607aedae1666db44e2cdf10bfc325b857c46a8afaebebbe2752b7e1b23cca.jpg

Myanmar has never had political stability since gaining independence 76 years ago.

The latest coup was in 2021, banks were drained, and the local currency lost 60% of its value in the following months.

Rebels have since been using CRYPTO to finance themselves.

https://image.nostr.build/ddaac81e9555922d2c8940c90ccbc8f37c6f4e1b987a79282a8324377d0e1724.png

They declared TETHER as the official currency 🏅

They launched a stablecoin and a crypto bank on the Polygon network that accesses Uniswap pools for buying and selling currencies.

They even created a digital lottery and boycotted the national Myanmar lottery, which saw its revenue drop by 80% 📉

https://image.nostr.build/4fd9c942150d77ed2c032af07f7d6f785b35ec52806f9c76a523398a6fad93a7.png

The rebels have raised about $100 million in recent years.

They even auctioned "revolutionary bonds": buyers could receive a share of a deposed general's mansion, for example.

But this $100 million is nothing compared to the nearly $1 billion that the junta has invested in the war since the coup.

https://image.nostr.build/eb9746cf073e54a643de3c70767aee6aa0be09634ae9af0578b67d5c902892c6.png

This ASYMMETRY of resources suggests a protracted conflict with no end in sight.

The junta is unable to eliminate all the decentralized insurgency hotspots... but it can exhaust them financially.

However, the asymmetry is decreasing, thanks to DISSIDENT TECHNOLOGIES...

JStark would be proud.

In recent months, there have been reports of FGC9s in use in Myanmar.

FGC9 is one of the most popular models of self-made firearms.

FGC = Fuck Gun Control

No one conquers a city with FGC9s.

But it is certainly possible to...

... defend a mountain pass or a village surrounded by forest with them.

Moreover, the resistance has mastered the art of producing and piloting homemade patrol drones.

The insurgents have already liberated ~50% of the territory.

The military junta controls the most populous and economically significant areas.

China supported the last coup in 2021. The West never had enough incentive to confront Beijing 🇨🇳

But in 2024, everything starts to change.

https://image.nostr.build/56c5705a1c8f1e73685767d2b059cdf38d9002029369c667c4ce246a9090e595.png

China's interest is economic.

They need to be on the side of the "winner" to ensure access to Myanmar's strategic pipelines and ports.

But in March of this year, Beijing lost its patience.

Hold on to this:

😳 44,000 CHINESE were in Myanmar as "slaves"...

https://image.nostr.build/faa92bf49b76a74367313ae9dc701a20800fef77c00a74676e9003f557211332.png

...and they were finally discovered and "returned."

They were working in "ONLINE SCAM CENTERS" operating in the northern part of the country. They were lured with fake job advertisements.

This is a scam center on the border with Thailand, packed with Chinese workers, scamming people worldwide 👇

Think about this 👇

You’ve probably been targeted by some online profile trying to scam you, operated by one of the THOUSANDS of trafficked Chinese people working in centers like this.

What year are we living in, folks?! 😳

The fight against tyranny still seems far from over. But the end appears to have already begun.

The balance of power is shifting.


The rain and the tree.

The rain is crucial for the tree's life, but it's trees that make rain.

On average, 40% or more of the precipitation over land originates from evaporation and the transpiration of water from vegetation.

This boy SAVED the INTERNET… but couldn't save himself.

10 years ago, he was persecuted by his government, and ultimately paid with his life.

Aaron Swartz is a modern hero that most people DO NOT KNOW.

But they should.

https://image.nostr.build/a5163a2d322330e5853e14ddf87d1613eecbdff0e23451d9f3059d3c1e0cd723.jpg

Aaron was creative, focused, and brilliant.

At 14, he invented RSS; He dropped out of Stanford; At 19, he was in the first Y Combinator class; He co-founded Reddit.

Most likely, if he were alive today, he would be involved with #Bitcoin.

But that’s not EVEN 1% of what he did for us 🙏

Let’s take a look 👇

https://image.nostr.build/37c7dd4a0ddbad0ae5a98babc66adc4916cc4a03b13d63d0fced0e6c3e0541fd.jpg

From a young age, Aaron believed in an OPEN INTERNET. In computers as a tool for LIBERATION.

"But wait, wasn’t the internet always open?"

No.

Believe it or not, there was a time when they wanted you to REGISTER your ID before you could browse or send an email.

https://image.nostr.build/77deabc6b94e160f43a3dd1522c5dac30061ac5423e6b2e3df10162a25e8e612.png

He believed that PUBLIC LEGAL RECORDS and SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH should be accessible to everyone.

But in the U.S.,

• 98% of scientific articles are behind paywalls; and
• ~80% of legal records are too.

Imagine being sued and still having to pay to view the documents?

https://video.nostr.build/2af872c7a7d1b74ce0fb8d42369a87df45a7ee2d23df006d287b58ac60fcfe26.mp4

Aaron's war had 3 major battles.

The first was against PACER.

A legal records database.

PACER is PAID... but it was "free" in 17 public libraries.

With friends, Aaron wrote a script on a USB drive, plugged it into a USB port, downloaded 2.7 million documents... and SET THEM FREE.

https://video.nostr.build/21b565dd1742bc950748be2ac0e0ce2868f4b94c54d1da9321a198c49fe85d1e.mp4

No charges were made against the group.

But the FBI began to take notice.

That had only been the beginning. That boy would still challenge the system.

The following year, Aaron would enter the biggest fight of his life — and the greatest battle in internet history against censorship ✊

https://image.nostr.build/ab43c6a3d189953bfee2fdc26760e819bc9e637dce97d0c8362a36192487b0aa.png

"SOPA/PIPA" 👉 if you're over 20, you probably still remember these acronyms.

A bill to "combat piracy"... which was just an excuse for the government to shut down ANY SITE, without warning.

Some companies loved the idea.

But those who loved the internet fought back.

https://image.nostr.build/605d066f5a7cc73cf8efe620725ac19f3fa9e85b760acd9e66b6f637b6837681.jpg

And then, something wonderful happened.

We still knew how to fight against online censorship.

In a coordinated response, the biggest websites on the internet "went on STRIKE."

Wikipedia and Reddit went offline. Google turned black.

Protests also erupted in the STREETS.

But...

https://image.nostr.build/605d066f5a7cc73cf8efe620725ac19f3fa9e85b760acd9e66b6f637b6837681.jpg

... but people have short memories.

This battle was won.

However, the NEXT one would be the LAST for young Aaron.

This MIT security camera was the final straw that ruined his life 👇📹

https://image.nostr.build/e48beb62bce1cdc7554d8e602786a29969a687202f7c7e6971f9f203de3160e6.png

JSTOR was Swartz's final target: the largest database of academic papers in the world.

Aaron wrote a script to download MILLIONS of papers, over the course of months, using his MIT access, in a small room.

MIT has a rebellious culture.

But the FBI could no longer tolerate the boy's defiance.

https://image.nostr.build/0f98f712709cacd788a841186630069f9b8877bbea34374f83c529e0b29d1385.jpg

With the video evidence, the U.S. prosecution charged Aaron with 13 crimes. Up to 50 years in prison.

In January 2011, he was arrested by undercover agents near the Harvard campus.

From then on, he was legally tortured.

Two years later, he would be found dead at home.

https://image.nostr.build/0e6b2b6d4ac93cc031267d6a3ae4fdd1afbaf7154c3d1b28db144e703325eff3.png

"Aaron would be 38 years old today.

He was accused of 'pirating' scientific papers funded with public money.

Facing up to 50 years in prison, he took his own life.

Those he inspired continue to democratize access to science.

Let us remember him."

*These are the words of Susan, his mother.

https://image.nostr.build/cb82dfbd1b0675e53a6a24ba2b6c6c50be08b60dc315f9a3cfbf3de4ded0a191.jpg

After his death, the charges were dropped by the government.

Aaron never considered entering a 'plea deal'. He would have faced millions of dollars in legal costs.

The father of the internet, Tim Berners-Lee, published a short poem at the time that says it all:

“The world was a little worse for his passing,
But a lot better for his being.”

https://image.nostr.build/110bd2ce6b535252ecff250b6609cc6f301b906f6681c2459d375c09af2a9548.png

Aaron wasn’t a unanimous figure. You may disagree with his methods.

But he was faithful to his ideal.

He was genuine. Firm in what he believed.

He was a person who used his prodigious skills not to enrich himself, but to make the internet fairer, and the world a better place.

https://image.nostr.build/570b43a6887dfa430be76e33a416c7bbc65d05e9acf0404ae46ad1a522bf9abc.jpg

Aaron had worked with Virgil Griffith (former Ethereum, now imprisoned for "teaching about crypto" to North Koreans).

He knew Elizabeth Stark (from Lightning).

He was friends with Zooko.

We’ll finish with an excerpt from the "Manifesto for Free Access," by Aaron himself:

"Information is power. But, like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves. There is no justice in following unjust laws. It’s time to come to the light, and, in the tradition of civil disobedience, declare our opposition to the private theft of public culture.

We must take information, wherever it is, make our copies, and share them with the world."

RIP, Aaron ✊

The parable of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15:11-32 tells a powerful story of love and forgiveness. In this passage, Jesus describes a father who embodies God's boundless compassion and mercy. The younger son, who rebels and becomes lost, represents those who have strayed from God, while the elder brother, who is self-righteous, symbolizes the proud religious leaders. This parable is one of Jesus' most memorable teachings, offering a vivid illustration of God's grace and His deep, unwavering love for those who return to Him.

Following Bitcoin daily and its connection with financial markets feels like living in a time singularity. This past week felt like a month with the intense flow of information. It’s essential to filter out the noise and focus on the true signal.

You may not always agree with me, but my goal isn’t to please; it’s to share my perspective on the data and insights I gather.

Bitcoin is a black hole for the brain – as it grows, its pull only strengthens, drawing us deeper in. But remember, there’s more to the world than Bitcoin. Take the weekend to be with those you love and do what makes you happy.

Bitcoin isn’t the end; it’s a tool for a freer life, financially and mentally.

That said, the bull market is here. So, HODL or HFSP!


Precious metals have served as monetary backing for millennia, but this does not guarantee that gold is a safe investment or a good hedge against economic crises and monetary collapses. Since its last major rally in the 1980s, gold has been progressively demonetized.

Those who acquired gold in the late 1980s will need to rely on a significant increase in demand or a supply shock for its price to rise by 561% and regain the purchasing power it had 40 years ago.

https://image.nostr.build/dd5fec2b474ea34cd72ddf5781393b528e63a358d523c9428f3ba4649f4f42aa.jpg

If you look at the purchasing power of $1 (green line), you'll see that the depreciation is even faster. This might create the impression that gold is a good store of value. But does the fact that something loses value more slowly amidst a general decline really make it a store of value?

Unless the total demand for gold increases at the same rate as its supply has grown in recent years, the purchasing power of the metal is likely to decline.

https://image.nostr.build/9f24f6cf37780fe851746057520064ed94acd96547be53bd341c9e15b8762773.jpg

In other words, if you own an ounce of gold, that ounce will represent an increasingly smaller fraction of the total gold reserves, meaning you are being diluted. Additionally, one should also consider the cost and risk of storage, but that's another issue.

If you don't want to compare the purchasing power of gold today with the 1980s, you can consider its value from 9 years ago. Between September 2011 and November 2015, the Fed printed approximately $2.8 trillion. This also provides a perspective on gold's depreciation relative to the significant monetary expansion during that period.

https://image.nostr.build/822e0a861e16ca258e0427875a84b5c8e5420e51bcf65674b453b55ed78edefd.jpg

In other words, the Fed expanded its monetary base by about 30% during that 4-year period. However, the price of an ounce of gold fell by 45% (from $1,900 to $1,057) over the same interval. A true store of value should protect against excessive money printing. In contrast, during that same period, Bitcoin appreciated by 8,500% (from $5 to $419).

https://image.nostr.build/32a7ca39a6e69e2780f9ab49390c7b7380499fcfe54ae4ef693e6fc91686a41e.jpg

Indeed, while it is interesting to note that this was the exact period when gold derivatives were launched on CME Group, it's important to remember that correlation does not imply causation. Many factors can influence the price of gold and Bitcoin, and establishing a direct causal relationship requires more detailed analysis.

https://derivsource.com/2011/06/21/cme-group-announces-the-launch-of-three-new-short-term-gold-crude-oil-and-natural-gas-options-contracts/

In an asset where supply can only be physically verified, flooding the market with gold contracts could lead to significant issues. This might result in market manipulation, legal liabilities, fines, and potentially even imprisonment for those involved. Such actions can undermine the integrity of the market and lead to regulatory and legal consequences.

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/06/ex-jp-morgan-trader-pleads-guilty-to-manipulating-metals-markets.html

Over longer periods, gold has not functioned as a true "store of value" relative to the dollar for quite some time, despite recently returning to its price from 9 years ago. This suggests that, while gold may have periods of price recovery, it has struggled to maintain its value over extended horizons compared to fiat currencies.

It's worth noting that before 1980, aluminum was valued higher than gold. This reflects how market dynamics and technological advancements can significantly impact the value of commodities over time.

https://www.mgsrefining.com/blog/why-aluminum-is-no-longer-a-precious-metal/

While gold has been undergoing a gradual demonetization process since 1980, another asset appears to be experiencing the opposite—hyper-monetization. (See in red; don't be alarmed.)

https://image.nostr.build/435a5369f778a7be727b50e4c6328cfc353240bf804e1ed69313b9a8e1233f7e.jpg

With the advent of Bitcoin, you believe that gold will continue on the same path as silver since the end of the bimetallic standard in 1853: a prolonged process of demonetization, with increasing volatility and reduced liquidity.

https://image.nostr.build/5b9c8bfdb09e51d639e380df160c98beb9ee1d917ea13d28ef67711cfa5f8086.jpg

Since 1913, the dollar has lost 97% of its purchasing power. Over the same period, the gold supply has increased significantly. Since 1980, gold has lost about 82% of its purchasing power. Given that the dollar is used as the unit of account and gold's liquidity is measured in dollars, these changes reflect the complex interaction between the currency and the precious metal.

The U.S. is by far the country with the largest gold reserves in the world and is also the fourth-largest miner of the metal. Additionally, the country controls and issues the currency that serves as the unit of account for gold and has the highest liquidity in global trade.

Is gold easy to transport? Is it simple to verify its supply and authenticity? Is it practical to store? Is its industrial utility significant? Can it be disrupted? And what about the continuous increase in its supply? These are important questions to consider.

In my humble opinion, it will not be the dollar or fiat currencies that will suffer the most from the existence of Bitcoin, but rather the market cap of gold.

🚨 China announces a $1.4 TRILLION debt swap package to boost local governments.

This mechanism allows local governments to replace old debt with new debt, reducing debt costs and paving the way for new monetary stimulus.

It’s not yet direct fiscal stimulus with new money, but it may make it easier when that occurs.

For now, it’s not the liquidity injection the market has been expecting and seems more like stopping the bleeding with a “band-aid,” something that may change soon.

⚡ The Russian state news agency TASS reported that Putin has no plans to congratulate Trump on his victory, considering the U.S. a hostile country. Narratives aside, Putin also emerges as a winner with Trump’s victory, as we know Trump maintains a stance favorable to ending American support for Ukrainian defense.


Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated Donald Trump on his presidential election victory. As I mentioned in one of yesterday’s videos, Israel stands to benefit significantly from Trump’s return to the White House. During this war, Biden sent over $14 billion in military aid to Israel, which is substantial. But with Trump, in addition to military support, Israel will also receive backing for Netanyahu to proceed with his plan to dismantle Hamas and Hezbollah with full force. Iran will also be back in the crosshairs, as Trump stated during his campaign that he will encourage Israel to carry out preemptive strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities.

🚨 Deflation in China has hit its sixth consecutive quarter in the latest reading of 2024

This is the longest stretch since 1999.

Monetary and fiscal stimuli from China’s Central Bank aren’t working, and the market continues to cool.

Although this is, by nature, a market normalization mechanism after a long period of systematic leverage, today’s economic literature views deflation as something to be combated.

Therefore, we can expect to see more monetary stimulus from the PBoC, which is likely to intensify even further toward the end of the year.

Don’t be fooled by the short-term noise, Bitcoin doesn’t need politicians, politicians need Bitcoin.

Regardless of who wins the elections today in the U.S., the monetary result remains the same: the fiscal deficit stays, debt issuance to cover the deficit stays, monetization of bonds to cover the debt stays, and the deterioration of citizens’ wealth through the silent tax stays.

There’s no way to stop this process anymore, and if you trust politician A or B to save you from impoverishment, then you still haven’t understood how the world works.

Those who don’t suffer from this dilution (the cantillionaires) just keep watching the monkeys fighting each other, wearing their favorite politician’s shirt, hoping someone will save them, while they run the show behind the curtains.

Salvation is individual, and Bitcoin is the truth in all of this. There are no elections to decide who controls the protocol.

The monetary policy of the network is already set, love it or leave it.

Don’t be confused by the short-term noise, the math is the same.

Germany has recently seen a decline in corporate investment, placing it behind other major industrialized nations. One contributing factor is its corporate tax rate, which, at around 30%, is the highest in the OECD. Further, political turmoil within the government is weakening business confidence.

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has raised its cash reserves to an all-time high of $325.2 BILLION.

Regardless of how you interpret this, it’s not bullish.

Although I completely disagree with their thesis on Bitcoin, I still credit them for their macro perspective.

At some point in the coming years, we should expect a systematic global deleveraging — brace for the impact.

I haven't looked too deeply into it yet, so I may be talking complete bullshit here, but so far my impression is that Pubky is 3 things:

1. signed entries published on a DHT that associate a pubkey with an HTTP server
2. HTTP servers that can host any file
3. a superstructure for reading content from these HTTP servers and turning them into a global social network

It's a very elegant structure that sound very compelling to me, but ultimately I don't see how it improves much upon anything Nostr has, and it has significant downsides and unsolved (hidden) problems that Nostr either solves or is trying to solve right now.

2 is cool, but not a very hard problem to solve once you have a way to find these user servers (and, also importantly, someone to host these servers mostly for free). Blossom is doing a similar job with files as first-class citizens.

2 is also not very useful by itself. To make a social network you need a way to efficiently pull content from user servers and display them to users. There is where they came up with 3, which sounds very similar to Bluesky's central big server which they call "Relay". It's a centralized system that cannot possibly become decentralized. It looks like Pubky has accepted that as the only way to do things, and they seem to be planning on hosting one such big server.

1 is trying to be the most decentralized, censorship-resistant system ever for putting out information about public keys -- and we may discuss if it achieves that or not (I am personally very skeptical that DHTs can scale, even though nostr:npub1jvxvaufrwtwj79s90n79fuxmm9pntk94rd8zwderdvqv4dcclnvs9s7yqzis going to boldly claim that this is not a topic worth discussing because "Mainline has already proven itself with its bazillion nodes and centuries of existence" truth remains that Torrents do not work without trackers, and no one knows what will happen with the DHT if it has to store billions of records from people all over the world -- https://newsletter.squishy.computer/p/natures-many-attempts-to-evolve-a is one scenario), but all of this mega-decentralization is completely useless if you don't have a decentralized way to load content from people you follow and have to rely on a giant central server hosted by one big corporation.

Pubky's idea seems to be that centralization on content distribution is unavoidable, so they aren't even trying. The idea of Nostr is that such thing isn't unavoidable, so we are trying.
