Currencies aren’t backed by real value, they’re based purely on trust. Trust that they’ll remain stable in the future, mostly because they were stable in the past. But that creates a dangerous illusion.
There are no real warning signs when things go wrong. It can look stable because more money can be printed and as long as trust remains, the system holds. But deep problems are hidden, and reform gets delayed until collapse becomes unavoidable.
We need a currency that works without political influence or trust. A system that reflects actual contribution to society. That’s real fairness.
Poorer nations often produce a lot of value, or ressources, but suffer from weak currency trust and inflation. That’s not justice. A neutral, stable currency would help rebalance the world and reward people that create.

Fiat money is just a question of trust.
Some currencies can print endlessly, because people still believe in them. Others collapse when that trust fades.
But trust is fragile.
Policies change. Leaders change. Inflation hits.
Bitcoin doesn’t need trust.
Its rules don’t change.
Its supply is fixed.
Its code is open.
The longer it exists, the more people realize:
Trustless money is stronger than trusted money.
It’s only a matter of time before the world pivots.

Most people don’t realize:
The current system rewards proximity to money, not productivity.
Governments print.
Banks lend.
Markets inflate.
But who actually creates value?
The worker. The builder. The innovator.
In a Bitcoin standard, money can’t be manipulated.
You can’t fake productivity.
You earn value by contributing.
This flips the game.
It’s no longer about who controls the money
It’s about who creates something meaningful.
Proof of work > proof of influence.
#Bitcoin #Reset #Finance
Money is meant to represent work.
You give value – you get paid. Simple, right?
But today’s system is broken.
Hundreds of currencies.
Endless credit.
Inflation everywhere.
Value distorted by trust.
Rich nations profit not by producing, but by exploiting currency arbitrage. That era is ending.
Trust is fading.
Fiat currencies lose ground. Jobs based on financial imbalance are dying in the long run.
Enter Bitcoin.
No trust. No manipulation. Just rules.
Fair, transparent, finite.
In the new world, value comes from creating real value.
Not playing the system.
Bitcoin is not just money.
It’s a reset.

A democracy can only truly be effective and sovereign if it avoids two things: excessive national debt and completely open markets without tariffs.
Tariffs allow a democratic state to enforce its own values – such as labor rights, environmental standards, and fair production practices – without being undermined by cheaper imports produced under unethical conditions. They protect domestic industry and, with it, the freedom to make political decisions.
At the same time, high levels of debt and rising interest payments mean that a large portion of the state budget goes toward servicing that debt. The state has limited ability to raise taxes – especially on the wealthy – since capital could then flee the country. This severely restricts the government’s financial room to maneuver and undermines its ability to act democratically.
In short: Without tariffs and with excessive debt, a democracy loses its capacity to shape policy freely – and risks becoming an empty shell

Financial privacy is not a luxury, it is protection.
If someone can see your transactions, they know what you own, and that can be dangerous. It opens the door to power imbalances, control, and even real world threats.
When we say, “Some people need access to prevent tax evasion,” we are creating hierarchies.
That means certain people stand above you, they are higher than you.
True financial freedom only exists with true privacy.

Open borders are no longer a humanitarian project, they serve the interests of big corporations. Through targeted migration policies, global players and their political allies secure cheap labor. New migrants are often willing to work for low wages because they come from difficult conditions and seize any opportunity they can. This leads to wage pressure, a decline in the appreciation of labor, and a job market distorted in favor of economic elites.

If I remember right, Tether really took off after USDC froze some funds of people
nice to see things like that more often :)
Maybe it’s an old problem. I’m not against education. However, there is a line within the social system, and I feel that we are addressing too many things through a social approach.
I think the world is getting more complex, especially in sectors like energy. While many processes are automated, only a handful of people truly understand how they function. Yet, this knowledge is crucial, not only for maintaining operations but also for ensuring safety in critical situations.
Although only a few specialists are needed to install automation systems, their knowledge is essential and must be preserved. During modifications and expansions, it is crucial to understand everything that has been done in previous years. However, due to automation, this expertise is needed much less frequently, and fewer people require it in their daily work.
But maybe it also has something to do with the redistribution in our monetary system🤷♂️
Without pressure to upskill, many opt for less essential industries while critical jobs remain unfilled. This fuels the growing shortage in key sectors that keep the economy running.
Skilled Labor Shortage: A Self-Made Problem?
Social security systems increasingly remove the incentive for self-improvement. When people receive benefits without having to progress, the motivation to gain knowledge and skills often fades. But in a world that’s becoming more complex, we need exactly that: highly skilled professionals in essential, productive fields like engineering, manufacturing, and healthcare.
The result? Fewer people understand critical economic processes, leaving key industries dependent on a small group of experts. If something goes wrong there, economic instability becomes a real risk.
A system meant to support society could be weakening its foundation.

Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius under normal atmospheric pressure (at sea level)
I’d like to give you a little insight into my everyday work from time to time:
Last week, we were working at a wastewater treatment plant that runs 24/7 – shutting it down wasn’t an option. So, we had to work under voltage, officially and with full protective equipment, as a team of two.
Our task was to install a new outgoing feeder with a higher protection rating to handle more current.
First, we covered the dangerous areas with an insulation mat, then installed a larger NH fuse element, laid the stranded conductor to increase the cross-section, and finally adjusted the PVC panel.

Bitcoin is the only digital asset that can be used on the internet in a completely trustless manner. Since price discovery largely takes place online today, Bitcoin is one of the most resilient assets against central manipulation. While large market participants can influence short-term fluctuations, Bitcoin remains one of the most transparent and tamper-proof stores of value in the long run due to its decentralization and fixed supply.

Yes, that may really be the case. But, no matter how much I like Bitcoin and how great I think technology is, acting so selfishly and essentially enriching themselves at the expense of all other countries will likely result in them having to shape global events with fewer partners in the future. In the long term, this might even have a negative impact.
Inspired by the recent interview of nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe nostr:npub1ahxjq4v0zlvexf7cg8j9stumqp3nrtzqzzqxa7szpmcdgqrcumdq0h5ech
Many of our societal problems can be traced back to our monetary system. We live in a system designed to create an annual inflation rate of about 1-2%. But what does this actually mean?
Technological progress enables us to make work processes more efficient and solve problems more effectively. Theoretically, products and services should become cheaper as more can be achieved with less effort.
However, our current monetary system prevents this. Due to deliberate inflation, technological progress is essentially “printed away”: prices rise artificially instead of falling. This happens because central banks inject new money into the economy to meet inflation targets. This newly created money is distributed unequally, and not everyone benefits equally.
Those who control the monetary system benefit the most, as they directly participate in money creation. Historically, people or groups with this power have always used it to their own advantage in the long run.
A possible solution to this problem could be Bitcoin. Unlike our current monetary system, the number of Bitcoins is limited. Its decentralized structure ensures that no one in the network can gain an unfair advantage. If Bitcoin can remain decentralized in the long term and resist external influence, it could be recognized as a stable and fair monetary system. This would mean that the power over money no longer rests in the hands of a few, and the benefits of progress could be distributed more equitably. Bitcoin has the potential to foster greater trust, justice, and economic stability by laying the foundation for a fair and transparent monetary system.
