Last night I had a dream. I was reading the "Solana Standard" and after reading the foreword, written by Brad Garlinghouse, I had to run out onto the balcony to vomit,, surrounded by laughing neighbors...

This shitcoinery needs to stop!

“Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character.”

(Heraclitus)

Fancult is as old as sport itself. What we know today in the pop culture of the modern sports business, such as the star cult around people like Cristiano Ronaldo or the sale of fan paraphernalia from sports clubs, already existed in ancient Rome, as this mosaic of a boxer from the floor of a Roman villa in Pompeii shows. So we haven't changed that much since then.

In the sense of exploitation, centralization and environment BTC is highly ethical compared to gold IMO

If gold could talk... The recent development of the gold price is more than just alarming from the point of view of those who defend the fiat credit money system. Gold speaks a clear language of the accelerated debasement of 'money' and provides an escape vector for those who take the world's over-indebtedness into account. Considering that Bitcoin is now following this path with a multiple of leverage, the current year should be exciting!

If you look at the capitalization of the banking sector in the USA compared to that of the Europeans, it is obvious that the international capital market seems to have given the European banking system the thumbs down. In addition to the sovereign debt crisis and the productivity crisis, this threatens to be the next major source of crisis for the Europeans if the insolvency figures remain high and the flight of capital from the eurozone cannot be curbed, which is unlikely to be the case given the US tax plans and the Europeans' continued stubborn regulatory policy.

In the Eye of a Political Revolution

We are witnessing a major political revolution in the USA. Parts of the establishment are turning against the mainstream, undressing the leftist state machine and liberating parts of the civil body from growing oppression. The Trump administration makes no secret of the fact that it is openly attacking the centralists in Europe, the forces that have kept America under control for decades and used their financial resources to expand their own power.

US Aid was just the tip of the iceberg of covert funding of socialist projects, and it has not yet registered at all with the Europeans, who are now being drawn more and more into this abyss. Europe has become the valley of the clueless, uninformed and indifferent, pure apathy prevails.

Meanwhile, Europeans are surrendering to the fate imposed on them by the central planners in Brussels and London. In the name of hallucinated climate change, they accept the central planning of their lives, refusing any form of resistance, even in peaceful form, by demonetizing the demon, the socialist machine with Bitcoin.

My God, if only we had known how easy it is to destroy the left-wing radical machine. Everything is falling apart, all narratives are shattered, they have nothing in their hands but the destroyed money printer and threatening gestures. #globalists #wef #eu #canada #nostr #freedom #doge

US tariffs against the EU could finally dismantle the subsidy machine

The Eurocommunists from Brussels, London and Davos could only maintain their illusionary bubble of climate change and green transformation with the cheap money of recent years, ZIRP and cheap credit in the euro-dollar market. The entire Keynesian large-scale intervention of the central planners lived from collateralizing values that would basically have no creditworthiness in a free market, such as government bonds from southern Europe.

This interventionist centralist madness has plunged Europe into an economic disaster but can now be destroyed by the customs policy of the USA. With SOFR the US capital market has been freed from Libor and the credit manipulation of the City of London, with the run-up in interest rates the Federal Reserve has played its part in damaging the money-printing machine in Europe and now an offensive customs policy by the Americans can achieve a further blow to the money machine in Europe, by reducing the inflow of US dollars from the European trade surplus with the US, which European central banks are using to buy US government bonds on an ever-increasing scale to keep the interest rate differential between the US and Europe from widening too far and triggering a capital flight.

Capital is already flowing from Europe to the US and this would be the final blow that is still missing to free Europe.

Baia: The Sunken Monaco of Roman Antiquity

Everyone is fascinated by the myth of Atlantis, Plato's sunken legendary city. About one and a half millennia ago, a real Atlantis began, the sinking of a real, ancient Roman city: Baia, the Monaco for the rich and beautiful of its time. Abandoned and forgotten after the turmoil of the Great Migration, today it is an El Dorado for underwater archaeologists, who are constantly unearthing new things from this fascinating underwater excavation site. Let's take a little dive...

Beneath the azure waves of the Bay of Naples lies Baia, a once opulent Roman resort town. This city, now underwater, was the playground of emperors, philosophers, and the Roman elite, offering a stark contrast to the political machinations of Rome itself. It was a place of refreshment for the Roman aristocracy, the rich, the new rich, who spent a few weeks of summer vacation there and cultivated their social contacts - can it perhaps even be compared to the Hamptons from an American perspective?

The Historical Tapestry of Baia

Baia was not just a place; it was an experience, a sanctuary of luxury and vice. Emperors like Julius Caesar, Nero, and Hadrian frequented its warm volcanic springs, which were believed to have medicinal benefits. The city was a mosaic of grandeur, with its lavish villas, sprawling bath complexes, and temples dedicated to the gods of health and pleasure.

In its heyday, Baia was where politics and hedonism danced in the shadows of its colonnades. Cicero himself critiqued its moral laxity, yet its allure was undeniable. However, the same geological forces that provided its mineral-rich waters would also be its downfall. The phenomenon known as bradyseism slowly sank Baia into oblivion, transforming it from a bastion of luxury to an underwater archaeological site.

The Fall of Baia

As the centuries passed, Baia's descent was both literal and metaphorical. The city, once a jewel in Rome's crown, was left to the whims of the sea by the 8th century. The decline was not only due to natural causes but also mirrored the shifting moral and political landscape of Rome, where the excesses of Baia were increasingly frowned upon.

Notable Figures and Events

- Julius Caesar used Baia as a strategic retreat for both relaxation and political plotting.

- Nero constructed opulent structures like his villa, which now lies beneath the waves.

- Hadrian contributed to the architectural legacy, blending Greek aesthetics into Roman design.

The city's history is peppered with tales of indulgence, political intrigue, and natural disasters, including the nearby Vesuvius eruption, which, while not catastrophic for Baia, symbolized the region's volatile nature.

Seneca's Sobering Gaze on Baia's Opulence

Lucius Annaeus Seneca, the Stoic philosopher and advisor to Nero, maybe the richest man of his time (made a large chunk of his pasta in the real estate business) visited Baia and was notably critical of its hedonistic atmosphere. In his moral letters to Lucilius, Seneca described Baia as a place where "pleasure is the most dangerous of all vices." He saw the city not as a place for rejuvenation but as a den of moral decay where people lost themselves in indulgence, forgetting their duties and virtues. Seneca's critique serves as a powerful reminder of the Stoic philosophy's emphasis on self-control and the pursuit of wisdom over fleeting pleasures.

Archaeological Endeavors Today

Today, Baia serves as a unique archaeological site for marine exploration. The challenges are immense; preservation underwater is tricky, with artifacts at risk from corrosion and marine life. Yet, the rewards are equally significant. Archaeologists using modern technology like ROVs have unearthed statues, mosaics, and the skeletal remains of buildings, providing insights into Roman life and engineering.

The work is ongoing, with organizations dedicated to both the excavation and conservation of Baia's submerged heritage. These efforts illuminate not only the architectural prowess of the Romans but also the transient nature of human achievement when faced with the relentless forces of nature.

Baia's story is a poignant reminder of the impermanence of human constructs against the backdrop of Earth's geological whims. It's a narrative of beauty, excess, and natural reclamation, echoing through time as both a warning and a marvel. As we continue to unearth Baia, we are not just preserving history; we're engaging with the past in a way that challenges our understanding of progress and decline.
