The intersection of AI with the ocean of mass surveillance data that's been building up over the past two decades is going to put truly terrible powers in the hands of an unaccountable few.

The Bushido of Bitcoin

@SvetskiWrites
"🚨WATCH THIS. SOUND ON🔉
2yrs, 7 drafts & 125,000 words later, The Bushido of Bitcoin is finally available for pre-order.
Writing this book has been a journey, and the process literally transformed my understanding of the world.
This is NOT another history of money or economic justification for Bitcoin. Been there, done that.
This is a book about virtue, excellence, culture and behaviour, which asks the harder questions:
What becomes of those who rise to the top, in the new socio-economic paradigm?
Will they become:
--> A new kind of parasite?
--> Another bunch of degenerate?
Or
--> Men & women of virtue.
It’s not enough to just say “Bitcoin Fixes This.”
We must do something about it."

T-Mobile Deutsche Telekom are running Bitcoin nodes, Lightning nodes and will start mining #bitcoin
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE.
Speaking at BTC Prague, Dirk Röder, head of Web3 infrastructure and solutions at Deutsche Telekom, said:
“Since 2023, we are running a Bitcoin node, and we are running Bitcoin Lightning nodes as well [...] I like to let you in on a little secret we will engage in digital monetary photosynthesis soon.”
Former Cointelegraph contributor Joseph Hall asked Röder if he could elaborate on the meaning of “digital monetary photosynthesis,” and "So is T-Mobile mining Bitcoin?!"
“We will.”

Summary
"The Bitcoin Endgame – 6.4 trillion txns per year (in 2022), $0.10 fee each, earning miners $640 Billion per year. Each of these figures growing at 6.2% per year. Almost all of it on L2 sidechains. L2s which do not pay miners, are dead projects."

Read_760 - Drivechain's Place in Bitcoin's Future
25 Aug • 51m
"To not die, Bitcoin must become more used. The current thesis accepted by most “maximalists” is that Bitcoin will continue to be thought of as an investment and its price will keep increasing, the price movements will bring more attention to it in a virtuous cycle. Eventually enough people will want to hold it so they will start accepting it as a payment for goods and services and then it can start to be used as money."
Today we dive into Fiatjaf's contribution to the sidechains, drivechains and scaling bitcoin to billions series as a follow up to James Obeirne's piece. Bitcoin can still fail, but what would make bitcoin fail and how can we avoid it? Is there a solution we've been sitting on untapped? Could drivechains prevent the undesirable future where the whole world simply ends up trusting custodians? Let's explore in today's episode.

# Lightning Network -- Fundamental Limitations
04 Apr 2022
Summary
- Channel-open transactions must be broadcast on L1, but there is simply not enough L1-space.
- “Factories” can onboard more users per L1 txn. Unfortunately, they can be sabotaged for free. CoinPool has the same problem (when it comes to LN-onboarding). The limitation is fundamental.
- There are scenarios where LN-users consume _more_ bytes than L1 “onchain” users. These are interesting, especially when it comes to use of HTLCs.
The “conventional layer2 strategy” (of: “Core + LN + nothing else”) is almost certainly not viable. But a modified strategy, of “Core + Largeblock Sidechain + LN” is viable.

Bitcoin: Wenn Banken und Regierungen das Geld nicht mehr kontrollieren - YouTube
Dokumentarfilm über die Kryptowährung Bitcoin. Was ist Bitcoin? Mit der Einführung von Bitcoin, der weltweit führenden digitalen Währung, wird Geld zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte nicht mehr von Banken oder Regierungen kontrolliert, sondern von den Menschen, die es nutzen.
Bitcoin: Wenn Banken und Regierungen das Geld nicht mehr kontrollierenBitcoin: Die potenzielle Störung des traditionellen Bankwesens und der staatlichen Kontrolle über Geld
0:00 💰 Das Internet hat das Potenzial, die Rolle der Regierung durch die Entwicklung von zuverlässigem E-Cash wie Bitcoin zu reduzieren.
4:09 💰 Das Video diskutiert den Übergang vom goldgedeckten Währungssystem zum aktuellen Fiat-Währungssystem und stellt Bitcoin als digitales Währungs- und Zahlungssystem vor.
8:09 💰 Bitcoin ist eine einzigartige digitale Währung, die nicht aus dem Nichts geschaffen werden kann und deren Wert sich aus der produktiven Kapazität der Entwickler und ihrer Uneinziehbarkeit ergibt.
11:51 💰 Bitcoin ist eine dezentralisierte digitale Währung, die Peer-to-Peer-Transaktionen ermöglicht, wodurch die Notwendigkeit von Vermittlern entfällt und Einzelpersonen die Kontrolle über ihr Geld erhalten.
15:39 ! Die Preisvolatilität von Bitcoin und sein Potenzial als globale Währung werden diskutiert.
19:41 💡 Blockchain und Bitcoin haben das Potenzial, verschiedene Aspekte der Gesellschaft zu revolutionieren, darunter Regierungsfunktionen, Eigentum an Vermögenswerten und finanzielle Inklusion.
23:39 💰 Bitcoin hat das Potenzial, Zahlungssysteme zu revolutionieren, den Zugang zu Produkten und Dienstleistungen zu verbessern und Währungssouveränität außerhalb der staatlichen Kontrolle zu gewährleisten.
28:39 💰 Der Aufstieg von Kryptowährungen und der Blockchain-Technologie könnte möglicherweise das traditionelle Bankensystem stören und zu einer bargeldlosen Gesellschaft führen, es bestehen jedoch Bedenken hinsichtlich der Zentralisierung und des Verlusts der Privatsphäre.
31:33 💰 Der Zweck einer Blockchain besteht darin, einer zentralen Partei die Kontrolle zu entziehen und dem Markt die Wahl zu geben, welche Art von Geld er verwenden möchte.
