This is the unsettling reality many face todayโa system that seems designed to make you gamble your hard-earned savings just to keep pace with inflation. Every day, the value of your money shrinks a little more, as the cost of goods and services creeps up. It feels like a silent thief, gradually chipping away at the worth of everything you have worked for.
The challenge is clear: the more inflation rises, the more youโre pushed to invest in riskier assets just to break even. Traditional savings accounts offer almost no return, and even stocks can feel like a roll of the dice. But in a world where the value of money seems to slip away like sand through fingers, how do we secure our financial future?
Imagine a system where your wealth isn't automatically devalued over time. Enter Bitcoin and other inflation-resistant digital assets that derive their intrinsic value from the Bitcoin network. Unlike traditional currencies, which central banks can inflate at will, Bitcoin is designed to be deflationary. Its supply is capped, meaning it canโt be printed endlessly, giving it a unique ability to hold value in a world where everything else seems to be losing it.

This ruling marks a significant moment for the adoption of crypto in the region, potentially paving the way for broader acceptance of digital assets in the financial system. However, while this decision may seem like a step forward for crypto enthusiasts, it also raises important questions. Is this ruling a sign of full legal recognition of cryptocurrencies for salary payments, or just an isolated case driven by specific contract terms?
According to local legal experts, the decision doesn't necessarily mean that crypto payments for salaries are now legalized across the board in Dubai. Instead, it highlights the importance of mutual agreement between employer and employee when it comes to such arrangements. The court's ruling could encourage other companies to explore similar payment methods, but it also underscores the complexities and risks involved in using volatile digital assets as compensation.
As the world watches this development unfold, one key question remains: Will this precedent lead to a wider acceptance of cryptocurrencies in mainstream financial practices, or will it be viewed as an outlier in a still uncertain regulatory landscape?

The next wave of dApps will combine real-world use cases with Bitcoin staking, driving adoption. BTCFi is on the horizon. This is the way.
A sustainable monetary system doesn't rely on endless bailouts. Bitcoin embodies a new frontierโa private, rule-based digital currency that breaks free from the inflationary cycle.

Publicly traded miners can tap into the stock market to fund their operations, giving them a significant edge in a highly competitive industry. According to Bernstein, this advantage positions them as the likely consolidators in the sector, with the power to scoop up smaller competitors and expand their dominance.
But this edge isnโt just about access to funds. Itโs also about scaling up operations quickly and increasing their hashrates, the measure of computational power used to mine Bitcoin. The larger the hashrate, the more likely a miner is to solve the cryptographic puzzles that yield new Bitcoin, making this a crucial metric in the race for market share.
As these leading miners continue to grow, smaller, privately held companies may find it increasingly difficult to keep up. The question arises: Can these smaller players survive in a landscape where size and scale are becoming critical? And more importantly, what does this consolidation mean for the future of decentralization in Bitcoin mining?

It is a refreshing perspective to consider, when my beliefs have caused much animosity and resentment:
nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a suggests that the introduction and need for speed in the settlement layer of domestic and international transactions not satisfied by the properties of gold, was the main incentive for policymakers and central bankers to issue more paper claims for gold in relation to actual gold held in reserves.
It was the evolution of technology in the global financial system, or lack thereof, that incentivized what we today call money printing, not greed or evil.
When I understood her point, my heart started to heal from the correlated anger and frustration for cental planners.
Sure, they are to blame for misusing the system to their advantage, however not for the ability to misuse it.

If the government adopts a Bitcoin reserve standard, they wonโt be able to fund wars or spend on the military as easily. This could lead to more peace and prosperity. Politicians would lose control over their own narratives and their power. You get the idea why they hate #Bitcoin.

Itโs not just about the number on the screen; itโs about the uncertainty, the volatility, and the fear of missing out. This psychological barrier can be tough to overcome, leaving many potential investors hesitating at the sidelines.
But here's the catchโBitcoin's history has shown that those who have the patience to hold on, despite the ups and downs, often find themselves in a stronger financial position over time. The question isn't just whether Bitcoin is expensive now; it's whether you believe in its long-term value. Do you have the patience to see it through, to weather the storms, and come out on the other side?
In a world where financial stability feels increasingly elusive, could holding onto Bitcoin be the key to building lasting wealth?

But what happens when youโre in a situation where defaulting isnโt an option? Thatโs where the U.S. government finds itself. While individuals and businesses must figure out how to manage their debt within their means, the U.S. government has a unique advantageโit can simply print more money. This relentless money printing might solve immediate problems, but it also devalues the currency, making savings worth less over time.
For ordinary people, this is a tough situation. Saving money becomes a gamble when the value of that money keeps dropping. So, if youโre looking for a way to protect your wealth from the effects of inflation and endless money printing, whatโs the answer?
One alternative is to consider investing in assets like Bitcoin, which isn't subject to the same inflationary pressures as traditional currencies. By understanding how Bitcoin works as a store of value, you might find a way to safeguard your savings against the devaluation of money.

Great fireside between nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m at Nostriga. I got a chance to listen to it now.
Regarding the question of whether Nostr will have more users than Twitter/X in five years (~500 million), my base case would be no, actually. And I say that as a huge Nostr fan and daily user.
In the long arc of time, Nostr's addressable market is nearly unlimited (basically everyone who uses the internet could be using Nostr in some form), but I expect somewhat of a slower burn. Infrastructure build-out type stuff. And breaching a network effect with a better solution is generally quite a long uphill climb.
To me, Nostr is successful once it starts serving tens of millions of people well. I expect it to be more of a quality over quantity thing for a while. Bitcoin is almost 16 years in and still isn't at 500 million users. But for many of those people, it was lifechanging.
I'd like to be surprised to the upside, but I also don't want people to think that if Nostr is "only" at tens of millions of people in five years, or 100+ million but still sub-Twitter, that it underachieved. It's tiny right now, and numbers anywhere approaching that would be a huge increase.
Nostr is a great improvement for everyone using it. But sometimes it takes people time to see why a given solution is better than what they have, or to realize they have a problem at all.
So in the meantime I monitor Nostr's success by the quality and quantity of developer activity, the capability of the protocol as a freedom tool or the shortcomings it still has for that use case, the quality of the conversations throughout the ecosystem, how many people consider it to be lifechanging tech compared to centralized social media, and in time, steady growth.
I believe once people start getting banned on other platforms they will find their way to Nostr. Considering the trend, it can accelerate pretty quickly.
Does this mean people will start avoiding travelling to selective nation states if you run a free speech application?

These PWAs, which users can install directly from their browsers, mimic the look and feel of legitimate apps while secretly harvesting sensitive data. The challenge here is that PWAs can bypass typical app installation safeguards, making it easier for threat actors to trick users into granting risky permissions without triggering the usual security warnings.
This technique, first spotted in Poland in July 2023, has since spread to other countries, including the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Georgia. For users, the main pain point is the growing difficulty in distinguishing between genuine apps and cleverly disguised phishing tools. The implications are severeโunauthorized access to financial accounts can lead to significant financial losses and long-lasting damage to trust in digital banking.
To protect against this evolving threat, users should be cautious about installing apps directly from web browsers, even if they appear legitimate. Stick to downloading apps only from official app stores, where security checks are more stringent. Financial institutions must also educate their customers about the risks of PWAs and invest in developing stronger detection mechanisms to flag suspicious activity. Additionally, enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) on banking accounts can provide an extra layer of security, making it harder for attackers to gain access even if credentials are compromised. By staying vigilant and adopting these best practices, both users and institutions can reduce the risk of falling victim to these sophisticated phishing campaigns.
Every man has to choose a pain:
โข The pain of hard work
โข The pain of unfulfilled potential
Make sure that you choose wisely.
The key to a balanced life is not just hard work, but also knowing when to take a step back.
Remember, recharging is a part of the success process.
The harder you work, the fewer friends you'll have.
Success intimidates the lazy.
Every time you ignore your goals
You betray yourself.
