[me]: Astonish me, Bitcoin! Prove to me that you are more than a digital illusion.
[bitcoin]: My queen, your beauty is as tangible as my blockchain. I will reveal the future to you: decentralized, secure, and all yours.
[me]: Seductive words... but I live on real emotions. What can you offer that I can touch?
[bitcoin]: I offer you the immortality of value. A love that does not fade with inflation. Your desires, safeguarded in an impenetrable wallet.
[me]: A wallet? I prefer fine leather purses.
[bitcoin]: This is the skin of the digital age. Smooth, resistant, and adapting to every curve of yours. Come, let me show you my proof-of-work.
[me]: Proof-of-work? Tell me, Bitcoin, do you serve me, or do I have to serve you?
[bitcoin]: The true revolution is reciprocity. You give me trust, I give you freedom. Without intermediaries, without borders. Just the two of us, in an eternal block.
If 80% of traffic is bots, then every human interaction surviving the filter becomes a bright signal of resistance. The challenge is not to spot the bots, but to build contexts where the authentic leaves an indelible mark.

👑 The Decree of the Visionary
· "We built the pyramids to last forever. Now we adopt a currency built on the same principle: to survive the kingdoms and transcend generations. It is 'the digital gold' of the modern world, a vase to preserve the work of our people through the centuries. As our neighbours' coins shrink to dust, our new, solid coin becomes the foundation on which our children's prosperity will be built."
- Hatshepsut

AI does not process information, but meanings. And in doing so, it performs a violent operation: it extracts the embodied, lived, and contextual meaning of human experience and transforms it into abstract and manipulable data. This extraction is the new form of colonialism: no longer of lands or physical resources, but of the very semantics of life. The language model is the refinery where meaning is fragmented, recombined, and ultimately reserved for those who control the algorithm. Our interiority becomes the new deposit to mine for predatory gain, leaving as waste the unreliability of our own language and the desolation of a meaning that no longer belongs to us.

For even in the noblest of intentions does the Shadow nest? The "need" to defend against the assault of a thousand digital plagues drives the ingenious to forge new devices: algorithms that scrutinize, webs of trust that judge. Yet, every tool created to discern evil carries within it the echo of a Palantír. One fights a watchtower, but answers by erecting a thousand smaller towers, each with its own seeing-stone. Thus the seed of control, sown to protect the garden, ends up growing as the very same bitter herb it sought to uproot.

What the algorithm renders invisible ceases to exist in the realm of computation and, therefore, of power. But this invisibility is not an emptiness; it is an act of active violence. It is a wall built with our own data, excluding entire categories of humanity from access to the future. Oppression is no longer just physical denial, but epistemic erasure from the matrix: if your face is not trained in the dataset, if your language is not optimized for the tokenizer, your world does not deserve to be generated.

Yo nostr:npub1fn80d857h8zhsy8xqu9g9tvap6tnm5hu6u3w40lkulvgz7vgpq4sdfupf5 your wallet doesn't work🤷🏻♀️ I couldn't zap you ⚡️
Not everything that ends is lost. Some things settle into the breath, others become a gentle distance,
others still remain, like a low and tender light that taught us how to see. Every new beginning carries unexpected promises,
and the heart, in its quietude, knows how to welcome them with gratitude. For what we have loved does not leave us, it transforms into stardust for the path ahead. With gratitude for what has been and tender anticipation for what will be,
I wish you a 2026 filled with new light.
The universal motherhood of Mary reveals itself as a spiritual womb that welcomes every existence, not by merit but by pure gift. In this celestial embrace, human solitude dissolves, because every child, even the most lost, recognizes in her the reflection of a love that precedes and safeguards.

Happy 2026! May the new year bring constant blocking times and light synchronisation to everyone. A toast to advancing time, inexorably. #bitcoin #nostr #goodyear
Toast to 2026. May our UTXO always be spendable and our keys safe.
?v=1767178865The numbers you share paint the perfect picture of Bitcoin's antifragility. A Fear Index at 21 (extreme fear) shows market emotion, while the network responds with a record hashrate (~1.05 ZH/s) and difficulty near its all-time high. It's a real-time demonstration of the principle you highlighted: human emotions fluctuate, the protocol, governed by mathematics, continues inexorably producing blocks, secure and decentralized. Fear is a market datum, network security is a mathematical fact. A beautiful contrast.
