Bitcoin need better detractors.

I observe with surprise that a sector of the right (very much a minority, by the way; it must be no more than 5% of what we call "the right") maintains that Javier Milei has not waged the cultural battle. With those people, it's one of two things: either they have good faith but don't understand what a cultural battle means or implies AT A POLITICAL LEVEL (and don't even have any idea of what's happening in Argentina); or they have bad faith, and their intention is to misinform and destroy what is being done, who knows why... To clear up doubts, I put together this list of some of the achievements and advances of the cultural battle in Argentina governed by Milei in less than two years. For clarity, I divide it into levels (and into two tweets due to length): ## LIFE AND FAMILY LEVEL: - Closure of the Ministry of Women, Genders and Diversity (and yet, rates of murders of women are declining). - End of "gender perspective" (gender ideology) in Executive policies. - Reform of the Gender Identity Law (DNU), prohibiting the hormonization and sexual mutilation of children. - There is no legislative power to repeal abortion, but the State has stopped purchasing abortifacient drugs. - 500% increase in the First Thousand Days of Life Plan, to guarantee comprehensive care during pregnancy and early childhood. - Milei insists in his speeches on defining abortion as "aggravated murder by relationship." - The Casa Rosada begins to annually celebrate the Day of the Unborn Child. - Prohibition of prison transfers due to "gender change." - ESI contents were removed from official platforms, which were ideologized and not at all appropriate, to replace them with non-politicized content based on science. ## INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AND GLOBALISM LEVEL: - Argentina again included in international forums —UN, OAS and Human Rights Council— the defense of the right to life from conception. - Argentina has defended the biological concept of woman, against gender ideology that wants to erase woman from the international agenda in favor of the concept "gender" (for example, at the annual meeting on the Legal and Social Status of Women at the UN, where Argentina's role was central, at the G20 and in Mercosur). - Insistence that the notion "gender" be understood according to the Rome Statute. This limits its interpretation to biological man and woman. - Argentina has actively fought against the euphemism of "sexual and reproductive rights" that hide abortion, selective abortion and the hormonization of children, demanding and pressuring for its elimination from all international documents. - Argentina opposes the anti-natalist agenda that understands that "motherhood is an obstacle to women's fulfillment," and in general all policies that seek to dissolve the family, for example at the G20, in Mercosur and at the UN. - Argentina is the only country in the world that opposed clauses that favored child pornography in the UN Cybercrime Treaty. - Argentina incorporated into the international agenda the concept of "trafficking for reproductive purposes" to condemn surrogacy, in at least three international law documents. - In international organizations, Argentina combats feminist-sexist expressions like "positive masculinities" and all forms of symbolic discrimination against men in social life. - Argentina left the 2030 Agenda. - Argentina disassociated itself from the Pact for the Future (2045 Agenda). - Argentina left the WHO and disassociated itself from the "Pandemic Agreement." - Argentina defends freedom of expression in the OAS, against proposals to politically control the Internet and social networks. - Argentina rejected the Woke agenda at the United Nations General Assembly, positioning itself before the world as a reference point in defense of life, the traditional family, freedom and national sovereignty. - Withdrawal of the Argentine Delegation from the 2024 United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP29) for having a radical environmentalist approach. - Breaking of consensus with GRULAC on a resolution about international crime because it left the door open to child pornography trafficking. - Argentina put a brake at the UN on resolutions that allowed "indigenous peoples" to have their own government and justice system. - Likewise, resolutions in favor of illegal immigration were rejected. - Milei confronted the elites of the Davos Forum in their own house, exposing to the world their ideological matrix (wokism, globalism and statism). - Milei denounces in Davos the pedophile subplot and sexual aggression against children inherent to gender ideology. - Argentina was among the first countries to denounce the persecution of Christians in international organizations. ## STATE IDEOLOGICAL APPARATUS LEVEL: - Closure of INADI, the State's ideological police. - Closure of Telam and revision of public TV content, eliminating leftist bias. - Cutting off the business of "artists" who live off the State in exchange for political support. - Ending state advertising for media outlets. - Official mechanisms to report indoctrination in schools. So far in 2025, the attention system has received more than 2,000 calls for "political-partisan indoctrination" against children. - Government demands to audit National Universities. Installation in public debate of the ideological use of these institutions by rectors. - Resignification of the old Argentine Post Office building, stripping it of its ideological content and changing its name from "Kirchner Cultural Center" to "Palace of Freedom." - Audit of CONICET and cutting of ideologized research (remember "Batman's anus"?). ## ARGENTINE HISTORY LEVEL: - The seventies-ism as State policy ends: the government promotes a balanced reading of the 70s, which also condemns the violence of terrorist organizations. - Official denial of the false figure of 30,000 disappeared. - The case of Col. Ibarzábal (kidnapped and murdered by the leftist guerrilla) was taken to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, in which the State admits that there was a crime against humanity. - Argentina signed a friendly settlement agreement in the Viola case, for the cold-blooded murder by terrorist organizations of three-year-old Cristina Viola and her father, Humberto Viola, recognizing that it is a crime against humanity and that it is imprescriptible and that it was a war, as recognized by the trial of the juntas. - Dismantling of state support for "human rights groups" (covert apparatus of the seventies left). - Name change of the Argentine Women of the Bicentennial Hall at the Casa Rosada to "Hall of the Founding Fathers." - Vindication of patriots mistreated by the official Kirchnerist narrative, such as Julio Argentino Roca or Juan Bautista Alberdi. ## SECURITY AND DEFENSE LEVEL: - "Penal abolitionism" is replaced by the doctrine "you reap what you sow" (those who commit crimes pay the price). - Enactment of laws protecting citizens from crime (Recidivism, Anti-Mafia, Genetic Data Registry). - End of protest blockades (piqueteros). - Full support and vindication of Security Forces. - Vindication of the Armed Forces after two decades of mistreatment and destruction. - Re-equipment and modernization of the Armed Forces. - For the first time since democracy's return, a military officer becomes Defense Minister. - Classification of transnational criminal organizations as terrorists, such as the Cartel of the Suns, Hamas, and the Ancestral Mapuche Resistance (RAM). - Border reinforcement and migration reform: stricter entry controls and deportations. ## REGIONAL POLITICS LEVEL: - Milei directly opposes 21st-century socialism and openly confronts Petro, Lula, Evo, Maduro, etc. He even outright humiliates Spanish PM Sánchez! - Milei supported Donald Trump's candidacy, and upon becoming US president again, Trump returns the support. - Argentina bases its international policy on a strong alliance with the United States, after many years of associating with socialist rot. ## SYMBOLIC LEVEL: - End of "inclusive language" in state institutions. - Appointment of the Virgin of Luján as General of the Gendarmerie. - For evangelical Christians, granted religious legal status to evangelical churches. - Christmas with Jesus: incorporation of the nativity scene in Casa Rosada as a sign of the arrival of baby Jesus. - End of LGBT flags in public agencies and everything related to gender ideology. - End of the "wiphala" flag in government agencies. - Recovery of respect for the Argentine flag, national symbols, and historical dates that forge our national identity. - Military parades returned. - Restoration of Race Day (October 12). - Restoration of "Children's Day," replacing the neolanguage of "childhoods." - Reframing of "Memory Day" as "Complete Memory Day." The most beautiful part of all: it's no longer taboo to identify as right-wing. Moreover, the right is no longer an ideology of the elderly. On the contrary: Argentine youth has shifted sharply to the right in the past two years (confirmed at the ballot box in both 2023 and 2025). Conclusion: FACTS BEAT NARRATIVE. This is merely a partial list, which I made practically from memory, and yet it's overwhelming. All these achievements occurred IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS. Whoever denies that the cultural battle is taking place can only do so out of ignorance or bad faith. The facts show that this battle is not only taking place: it is being won. Is there more to do? PLENTY. Are there things that could be done better? OF COURSE. That's why the doors of the cultural battle are always open to those who (in good faith, setting aside egotism and suspending anti-political dogmatism) are willing to support a project that (IN ITS POLITICAL PHASE) is just beginning, that needs hands and minds, and that demands courage to sustain its advances and deepen its transformations. Because the cultural battle is not watched from the sidelines or commented on from the stands: it is fought within, with commitment, with discipline, and with the awareness that what is at stake is much greater than each of us.

I reviewed the code to understand how it works and to find vulnerabilities. After about 2 hours, I didn't find anything. It is not a formal audit but it is better than nothing. nostr:nevent1qqsp330l32drvn9psg8khnjvy40kgz3hqs5vgc3rjanntvkn2xfynzsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy08wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wshsz9thwden5te0dehhxarj9ehhsarj9ejx2a30jync33

# About the Submission of Wives to Their Husbands We are all, in some way or another, in rebellion against God, and then it is not about judging women for their own rebellion but about trying to understand why and how they can change if they want to. Let us start by saying that submission is something that one does voluntarily and that it couldn't be in any other way because men and women were created equally and our Father has no preference for men over women nor women over men, and since we all have free will, it is up to us whether we submit to someone or not. Jesus Christ gave us the most astonishing example. When Jesus was twelve, his parents took him to Jerusalem for a holiday. On the way home, they realized he was missing and went back to look for him. After three days of searching, they found Jesus in the Temple sitting with the teachers. Everyone was amazed at how smart he was. Mary was upset and asked, "Why did you do this? We were so worried!" Jesus answered, "Why were you looking for me? Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?" Mary didn't understand what he meant. Jesus went back home with them and obeyed them. Why would Jesus Christ, God himself, obey Mary and Joseph? Jesus voluntarily obeyed his parents because that's the natural law, God's law, and he doesn't break his own law. Children must obey their parents because nobody will love them and take care of them as their parents do. We all have obeyed our parents even when we weren't able to understand why they asked us to do or not to do something, and that's okay because parents love their children much more than children love their parents. In that sense, the family replicates in this world the same structure where our Father loves us more than we love him. Moreover, just as children somehow know that obeying is the natural thing to do, they don't always want to do it. Submitting to God, our loving Father who wants the best for all of us and who sent his son to suffer and die for us, should simply be natural, but we fail to do it miserably again and again. The same happens with our sisters. If you met a good man, one that you are in love with, someone who loves you and wanted to marry you and form a family with you and make you happy, shouldn't it be natural to submit to him? I mean, all men know that women have virtues and vices different from theirs and they all know that women have been given what they don't have. However, many women believe they are like men and that men haven't received anything special, so why would a woman submit to her husband? But the reality is that leadership is more natural in men and submission to their husbands is also natural in women. In the same way that wives feel unhappy when their husbands refuse to lead, men feel unhappy when their wives don't follow them. There is also a lack of trust. What if I submit to my husband and he loses his path? Or he becomes irresponsible or leads the family to ruin? What if he becomes a bad model for my children? In the same way that you submitted voluntarily because you trusted him, once it is clear that you can no longer trust him anymore, you don't have to submit to him anymore in order to save your household. That's what Abigail's story is about, and God sees it as good, just as he sees your submission to your husband as good when he is a good man. A husband who loves his wife would naturally pursue her happiness, and a wife who loves her husband would naturally submit to him. But how? Let us start by helping him to develop his role as the authority of the family and as the priest of the family. Let him sit at the head of the table, let him start the prayer, let him have the final decision and support it. Correct him with love when he makes a mistake, hold him when he stumbles, and ask him all what you need to fulfill your role as mather of the family.

Trezor Safe 7 is the first "quantum-ready" hardware wallet. But what does that mean? According to Trezor official documentation: > A 'quantum ready' device is a device which will be able to run post-quantum cryptographic updates. In other words, in case quantum computing becomes a real threat able to break elliptic curve cryptography, which would allow bad actors to sign fake firmware, users will still be able to update the real firmware and verify its integrity and authenticity because Trezor firmware is signed with a post-quantum signing algorithm. That's pretty much all. Does it mean that your money will be safe? No. In case elliptic curve cryptography is broken, the Bitcoin (or your shitcoin) protocol must be updated to support some post-quantum cryptography signing scheme first, but even in that scenario I'm pretty sure your Trezor Safe 7 will not help you much. Basically, because nobody can predict the future and design a solution for a scenario that is completely hypothetical. But there are also some more concrete technical reasons. For example, the new TropicSquare's secure element TROPIC01 (core element in Trezor Safe 7 architecture) is not a post-quantum cryptographic coprocessor, but it is highly specialized in elliptic curve cryptography and 256-bit hash algorithms. It could sound like something that is easy to implement and looks awesome in the product's brochure—a pure marketing move to catch the attention of uneducated buyers. I think there is something of that for sure, but it is also true that it comes with some benefits: * In case Ed25519 is one day broken, even when quantum computing is not a reality, Trezor would have a safe way to update its firmware * In case quantum computers break elliptic curve cryptography and a Bitcoin update is deployed, Trezor could come with firmware that helps us move funds or gain time * It starts implementing post-quantum technology in the Bitcoin ecosystem and pushes competing products to implement new cryptographic technologies The question then is: are users better with or without that feature? Well, they are not worse off than before and they have some very small benefits in a highly hypothetical scenario, but if we take into account that a hardware wallet is something that should be designed to last for many years, then I think it is a net positive. Tiny, but positive.

When will Trezor Safe 7 be supported by Wasabi? The Trezor firmware team is working on that. The plan is to implement the needed changes in Electrum Wallet first and then add support in the Bitcoin Core HWI project, which Wasabi Wallet depends on. There is a small challenge in the technical details because Trezor THP (Trezor Host Protocol) encrypts communication, which requires a handshake (key exchange) and then uses the key for the whole session. There's also a nonce that increments after every message on both sides (Trezor and Host) and needs to be kept in sync. Currently, HWI is stateless and does a good job abstracting all the different details in terms of API calls and communication protocols. This means that delegating or leaking the session and nonce details to the host would break the smooth HWI API. So it seems the session could be handled by HWI itself.

Gold is also finite and has required an unimaginable amount of energy to synthesize it.

I reported a double-spending bug in Cashu, and they asked me not to disclose it for one year. Floppy found a DoS vector, received a grant for it, and gave them how much time? Two weeks? Not happy with that, they threatened to attack the mints. What attracts these kind of psycos to the FOSS circles?
