Fiat-Geld basiert auf Schulden und ist auf eine stetig steigende Zinslast angewiesen, um zu funktionieren. Diese Zinsen werden letztendlich von den Bürgern über Steuern, neue Schulden oder durch eine verschleierte Steuer namens #Inflation getragen.
Ein Blick auf einen Lohnzettel aus dem Jahr 1922 zeigt, dass die Abgaben damals bei etwa 10% für Steuern und Sozialabgaben lagen. Im heutigen Fiat-Geldsystem hat sich die Komplexität des Steuersystems jedoch exponentiell erhöht. Viele Menschen benötigen einen Steuerberater, um sich in diesem undurchsichtigen Steuerdschungel zurechtzufinden. Zudem ist die Staatsquote erheblich gestiegen. Der Staat, der selbst nichts produziert, trägt oft zur Bürokratie und Ressourcenverschwendung bei. Der Begriff 'Rent-seeking' beschreibt dieses Phänomen treffend – und Politiker scheinen ihn besonders zu schätzen!

Der ÖRR kommt seinem Informationsauftrag nach..
🇷🇺 🇺🇦 https://video.nostr.build/c3193ca28d05aa804166d61e792b12ea38613e9c4ccfa3e624b5489c03285259.mp4
In a world where financial transparency is increasingly demanded, the stark contrast between Bitcoin and the Federal Reserve (Fed) raises important questions about accountability and trust in our monetary systems. In 2017, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen expressed her strong opposition to auditing the Fed, a sentiment that has echoed through the halls of power for over a century. But why is this the case? What does this exclusive club of financial elites have to hide?
Bitcoin, as an open-source software, operates on a fundamentally different principle. Roughly every 10 minutes, the Bitcoin network undergoes a rigorous audit conducted by thousands of independent nodes around the globe. This decentralized verification process ensures that every transaction is secure, and immutable. Anyone can participate in the network, review the code, and verify the integrity of the timechain. This level of scrutiny is unparalleled in the traditional financial system.
In contrast, the Federal Reserve has not undergone a single comprehensive audit since its inception over 100 years ago. The lack of transparency surrounding the Fed's operations raises critical concerns. What decisions are being made behind closed doors? How are monetary policies affecting the average citizen? The Fed's reluctance to open its books suggests that there may be more at play than meets the eye.
The Bitcoin community thrives on the principles of transparency, decentralization, and trustlessness. By contrast, the Fed operates within a closed system, where a select few wield significant power over the economy without the same level of oversight. This disparity begs the question: in an age where technology enables unprecedented levels of transparency, why should we continue to accept a system that operates in secrecy?
As we navigate the future of finance, the choice between Bitcoin and traditional institutions like the Fed becomes clearer.
Bitcoin offers a transparent, auditable alternative that empowers individuals and fosters trust through its decentralized nature. Meanwhile, the Fed's opacity raises concerns about accountability and the potential for misuse of power.
As advocates for financial freedom and transparency, we must question the status quo. The time has come to demand accountability from our financial institutions and embrace systems that prioritize openness and verification. #Bitcoin stands as a beacon of hope in this regard, challenging the old guard and paving the way for a more transparent financial future. What will you choose?

Currently, there are reports about widespread problems with the acceptance of credit and debit card payments across various retail chains in Germany. The root of the issue appears to be a malfunction at Telecash, one of the largest payment service providers in the industry. This company, which is part of the US-based Fiserv/First Data, handles payment processing for major retailers such as Edeka, Budni, and Aldi Nord. (Report from IT Finanzmagazin, September 12, 2024)
In contrast to these traditional banking systems, Bitcoin offers a revolutionary solution. The Bitcoin network, spearheaded by its enigmatic founder Satoshi Nakamoto, operates continuously—24/7/365—ensuring that transactions can be processed at any time without interruption. Bitcoin provides a robust and decentralized alternative to conventional payment methods, which are often vulnerable to outages and failures.
Bitcoin's permissionless and borderless nature means that anyone, anywhere in the world, can access its services without the need for intermediaries or approval from financial institutions. This democratization of finance not only enhances accessibility but also reduces the risks associated with centralized payment systems that can fail due to technical issues or systemic vulnerabilities.
Bitcoin ensures secure, efficient transactions, eliminating the need for traditional banking infrastructure that is prone to disruptions. As we witness ongoing challenges in the conventional payment landscape, Bitcoin stands out as a resilient and reliable alternative, poised to transform the way we conduct financial transactions globally.

Der Zeitungsartikel vom 6. Oktober 1989 aus der Leipziger Volkszeitung (LVZ) zeigt deutlich, wie die kommunistische #SED (Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands) in den letzten Monaten vor ihrem Untergang versuchte, ihre Macht zu erhalten. Der Artikel thematisiert die zunehmenden Proteste und die wachsende Unzufriedenheit in der DDR, insbesondere in Leipzig, wo Bürger in der Nikolaikirche für ihre Rechte und Freiheiten beteten.
Die SED reagierte auf diese Entwicklungen mit einer aggressiven Rhetorik und der Mobilisierung von paramilitärischen Kräften, wie den Kampfgruppen. Der Kommandeur Gunter Lutz erklärt, dass die Kampfgruppen bereit seien, die "Errungenschaften des Sozialismus" mit Gewalt zu verteidigen, falls dies notwendig sei. Diese Drohung zeigt die Verzweiflung der SED, die öffentliche Ordnung und Sicherheit aufrechtzuerhalten, während die Bürger zunehmend gegen das Regime aufbegehrten.
Der Artikel bezeichnet die friedlichen Versammlungen der Bürger als "konterrevolutionäre Aktionen" und stellt die Teilnehmer als "staatsfeindliche Elemente" dar. Dies ist ein typisches Beispiel für die Strategie der SED, die Protestierenden zu delegitimieren und als Bedrohung für den Sozialismus darzustellen. Die SED versuchte, die öffentliche Meinung zu manipulieren, indem sie die friedlichen Proteste als gefährlich und subversiv darstellte.
Der Artikel, wie die SED in einer Zeit der Krise versuchte, ihre Macht durch Einschüchterung, Propaganda und die Mobilisierung von Gewalt zu sichern. Diese Maßnahmen waren jedoch letztlich erfolglos, da die Bürgerbewegung in der DDR im Herbst 1989 nicht mehr aufzuhalten war und zur friedlichen Revolution führte, die das Ende der SED-Herrschaft einleitete.

Here our soldiers stand from all around the world
Waiting in a line to hear the battle cry
All are gathered here, victory is near
The sound will fill the hall, bringing power to us all
We alone are fighting for metal that is true
We own the right to live the fight, we′re here for all of you
Now swear the blood upon your steel will never dry
Stand and fight together beneath the battle sky
Brothers everywhere - raise your hands into the air
We're warriors, warriors of the world
Like thunder from the sky - sworn to fight and die
We′re warriors, warriors of the world
Many stand against us, but they will never win
We said we would return and here we are again
To bring them all destruction, suffering and pain
We are the hammer of the gods, we are thunder, wind and rain.
Brothers everywhere - raise your hands into the air
We're warriors, warriors of the world
Like thunder from the sky - sworn to fight and die
We're warriors, warriors of the world
There they wait in fear with swords in feeble hands
With dreams to be a king, first one should be a man
I call about and charge them all with a life that is a lie
And in their final hour they shall confess before they die
If I should fall in battle, my brothers who fight by my side
Gather my horse and weapons, tell my family how I died
Until then I will be strong, I will fight for all that is real
All who stand in my way will die by steel
Brothers everywhere - raise your hands into the air
We′re warriors, warriors of the world
Like thunder from the sky - sworn to fight and die
We′re warriors, warriors of the world
