Bitcoin removed the centralised money printer, but a fixed supply doesn’t stop wealth concentrating. Over time, money still tends to accumulate with those who lend it, speculate on it, or control liquidity. That is basically the old problem of usury playing out on a harder money base.
What the broader crypto ecosystem did was introduce a different escape hatch: anyone can start a new monetary network.
That means new communities can form their own “squad wealth” outside existing power structures. Instead of fighting over one fixed pool forever, people can bootstrap new ones around new ideas, technologies, or cultures.
In that sense, crypto isn’t just “everyone gets a money printer”.
It’s everyone gets the ability to start a new economic network.
If freedom is tied to social mobility, that ability to create new systems matters just as much as having sound money inside one system.

I didn't mean to bring a troll into the conversation, sorry.
But it’s a bit ironic that you’re concerned about the decline of the West, because that’s precisely the outcome the passage in the book I linked is describing. A theology which elevates Israel’s chosen status separately from the covenant of faith is promoted by forces directly aiming for that result.

You might want to reread the Gospels. Jesus actually had a pretty dry sense of humour.
He mocks religious leaders for “straining out a gnat but swallowing a camel.” He compares hypocrites to whitewashed tombs that look nice on the outside but are full of bones.
And then there’s Simon Peter. Jesus nicknames him “the Rock”… and not long after, the Rock tries walking on water and immediately starts sinking.
As for why Christians talk about mercy so much, that is pretty simple. If you think you deserved judgement but got mercy instead, that is probably the trait you are going to be most grateful for.
But the idea that the God revealed by Jesus Christ has no humour is lacking. He taught with irony, exaggeration, wordplay, and trap flipping. Not stand up comedy, but the kind of dry, clever humour that makes the crowd laugh while the target realises they just got roasted.

Thank you for clarifying your position. I think I understand what you are saying: that ethnic Israel remains God’s covenant people in a temporal sense, even though most reject Christ and therefore are enemies of God and perish if they die in that state.
But this is where I struggle to see how that fits with the way the New Testament itself describes who the covenant people actually are.
Paul seems very explicit that ethnicity alone never defined the true people of God. In Romans 9:6–8 he says:
> “Not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel… it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise.”
That language seems very clear: physical descent alone does not make someone part of the covenant people.
He reinforces the same point in Romans 2:28–29:
> “A person is not a Jew who is one outwardly… but a Jew is one inwardly.”
And in Galatians 3:7–9 Paul says:
> “Those of faith are the sons of Abraham.”
Then he concludes in Galatians 3:29:
> “If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise.”
So the consistent pattern in the New Testament seems to be that the promises to Abraham were always inherited through faith in the promise, not through ethnicity. It just happened to come first to the Jews in God's plan to reveal himself. It was always only by faith and continues, rather than being replaced, in the new testament.
Paul also explains what happens when there is unbelief. In Romans 11:20 he says that branches were “broken off because of unbelief.” The covenant tree continues, but membership in it is determined by faith, and branches can only be grafted in again through faith (Romans 11:23).
So this is the part I am trying to understand in your framework.
If Paul says that not all Israel is Israel, that the children of the promise are defined by faith, and that unbelief breaks branches off the covenant tree, in what sense can those who reject Christ still be described as God’s covenant people today?
And this connects to the moral argument you raised earlier.
The New Testament consistently says that unbelief places both Jews and Gentiles in the same position before God. Paul says in Romans 3:22–23 that “there is no distinction… all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Later he says in Romans 10:12 that “there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all.”
So if Jews who reject Christ remain God’s covenant people in some sense, while Gentiles who reject Christ clearly are not, what exactly is the biblical basis for that distinction?
Because the New Testament consistently treats both Jews and Gentiles who reject Christ as outside the covenant until they come to faith in him.
That is why I struggle with the moral framework you proposed earlier. You are saying that Jews who reject Christ must still be uniquely protected and blessed because they are God’s people, while Muslims or other Gentiles who reject Christ can be treated simply as enemies whose destruction should be supported.
But the New Testament never makes that distinction. It presents both Jews and Gentiles as equally in need of repentance and faith, and the gospel goes out to both on the same terms.
So I am trying to understand how treating one group of unbelievers as uniquely protected while advocating the destruction of another group of unbelievers fits with the way the New Testament itself speaks about the people of God and the call of the gospel.
Can you see that by providing special protection to the nation of Israel, Christians are being deceived into supporting evil?

A mate of mine got one and completely panicked. Instead of ignoring it, he posted this long, philosophical Facebook status about how masturbation is perfectly natural, nothing to be ashamed of, and society shouldn’t stigmatise it.
The blackmailer never posted anything… but my mate basically beat them to it by publicly confirming he’s a wanker.

Let me clarify something, because I want to understand what you actually mean by saying Israel is God’s people.
Do you mean that the modern Jewish nation remains God’s covenant people even while rejecting Jesus as the Messiah?
If that is the case, then I want to understand how that fits with the New Testament claim that no one comes to the Father except through Christ and that whoever denies the Son does not have the Father.
So what exactly is your position?
Are you saying:
1. That a nation can reject Christ and still remain God’s covenant people?
2. That there is some kind of covenant relationship with God that exists apart from Christ?
3. Or that the promises to Israel operate on a completely different basis from the salvation offered through Christ?
I’m not trying to misrepresent your position. I just want to understand clearly what you believe those statements about Israel actually mean in practice.

I think this is where the real disagreement lies. At this point the question is no longer about covenant theology but about moral judgment in a political conflict.
Neither Israel nor Hamas is advancing the kingdom of God. This is not a biblical covenant struggle but a modern political and military conflict. Christians should be careful not to treat the interests of any modern state as identical with the purposes of God.
I agree with you that the persecution of Christians and the violence carried out by groups like Hamas is evil. Terrorism, murder of civilians, and the use of human shields are morally wrong. Christians should never defend those things.
But that does not mean we must therefore give moral or theological endorsement to what is being done by the State of Israel. When a state expands settlements, displaces long-established communities, and uses overwhelming military force in ways that harm civilians, those actions also raise serious moral questions. Many of the people caught in that conflict include Christians whose communities have existed there since the earliest centuries of the Church.
So the issue is not choosing between Hamas and Israel as if one of them represents God’s cause, whether that is moral or theological. Neither does. This is a political conflict between earthly powers.
The responsibility of Christians in such situations is not to attach the name of Christ to one side, but to maintain the integrity of Christian witness. The New Testament repeatedly calls believers to pursue peace and justice wherever possible and to avoid allowing the Church to become an instrument of earthly political agendas.
My concern is that if Christians begin to treat the modern State of Israel as morally superior or as a uniquely blessed nation in a biblical sense, we risk creating a legacy in which Christianity becomes subordinate to the political interests of that state. That would damage the clarity of the Christian witness and blur the distinction between the kingdom of God and the kingdoms of this world.
Christ’s kingdom is not advanced by military power or territorial claims. Our calling is to bear witness to Christ, to care about justice for all people, and to make every effort to live peacefully while refusing to sanctify the actions of any earthly nation as if it represented the kingdom of God.

I want to be clear that I am not arguing from hostility to the Bible or from some different religious framework. I believe the Bible is the Word of God and I hold firmly to the authority of Scripture. I have attended a Baptist church and my wife is Baptist, so my position comes from taking seriously how the New Testament itself interprets the Old.
The apostles consistently interpret the promises to Abraham through Christ. Galatians 3:16 identifies Christ as the seed of Abraham, and Galatians 3:29 says that those who belong to Christ are Abraham’s offspring and heirs according to the promise. 2 Corinthians 1:20 also says that all the promises of God find their “Yes” in Him.
Scripture also explains that covenant identity was never simply defined by ethnicity or territory. Romans 9:6 says, “Not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel.” Even within Israel there was always a distinction between physical descent and the true covenant people. God preserved a faithful remnant even during exile and dispersion.
If the promise required a continuing nation-state of Israel as the uniquely blessed covenant people, then it would appear that God’s promise failed for nearly two thousand years between the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 and the modern state of Israel. But that obviously is not true. God remained faithful by preserving His people through Christ and through the Church.
I understand that your concern is moral: that no people should be persecuted or denied the right to exist and defend themselves. I agree that persecution of any people, including Jews and Christians, is wrong.
But there is another moral reality that also deserves attention. Christian communities have lived continuously in the land of Palestine since the earliest centuries of the Church. Many of those families have lived there for generations. Today some of those communities, including Christians, have experienced displacement and pressure connected to the expansion of settlements and the ongoing territorial conflict. When people who have lived somewhere for centuries lose their homes or land, that raises serious moral questions that Christians cannot ignore.
For that reason I cannot identify the modern political state called Israel with the covenant people described in Scripture. The New Testament consistently defines the people of God through faith in Christ, not through nationality or territory.
So my argument is not against God’s faithfulness or against Christian morality. It is precisely because I believe God has kept His promises in Christ and because I take the authority of Scripture seriously that I cannot equate a modern nation-state with the covenant people of God.

Você entendeu mal o meu ponto. Eu não estou elevando tradição ou doutrina acima da Escritura. Eu já mostrei repetidamente as próprias Escrituras e como o Novo Testamento interpreta as promessas feitas a Abraão em Cristo.
Meu ponto ao dizer que o dispensacionalismo é uma visão minoritária não foi um apelo à autoridade. Foi apenas para mostrar que se trata de uma interpretação historicamente recente que só ganhou grande influência nos séculos XIX e XX, principalmente através de Darby, da Bíblia Scofield e do contexto político envolvendo o envolvimento britânico no Oriente Médio e o surgimento do movimento sionista.
O argumento principal que apresentei vem da própria Escritura. Os apóstolos interpretam explicitamente a promessa feita a Abraão através de Cristo. Gálatas 3:16 identifica Cristo como a descendência de Abraão, e Gálatas 3:29 diz que aqueles que pertencem a Cristo são a descendência de Abraão. Romanos 9:6–8 também deixa claro que nem todos os descendentes de Israel são o verdadeiro Israel, mas os filhos da promessa.
Portanto, a questão não é tradição versus Escritura. A questão é se aceitamos a própria interpretação que o Novo Testamento dá ao Antigo Testamento. Esse foi o fundamento do meu argumento desde o início.

Você está criando uma distinção falsa. No cristianismo, a doutrina é exatamente como conhecemos os atributos de Deus e o que é a moralidade cristã. Essas coisas não podem ser separadas.
Se você descarta o ensino de Cristo e dos apóstolos como “mera doutrina”, está descartando justamente o lugar onde Deus se revelou. Cristo é Deus. O Novo Testamento é onde aprendemos quem Deus é e o que significa ser fiel a Ele.
Portanto, apelar aos “atributos de Deus” enquanto rejeita o ensino de Cristo não é um argumento mais forte. É negar a própria revelação que define a fé cristã.

Seu argumento depende do dispensacionalismo, não do ensino do Novo Testamento nem do consenso histórico da Igreja. O dispensacionalismo surgiu apenas no século XIX através de John Nelson Darby e foi posteriormente popularizado pela Bíblia de Referência Scofield (1909). Trata-se de uma inovação teológica relativamente recente que ganhou influência juntamente com os interesses imperiais britânicos no Oriente Médio e o surgimento do movimento sionista. Muito antes disso, o entendimento predominante na Igreja primitiva, na Igreja medieval e entre os Reformadores era que as promessas feitas a Abraão são cumpridas em Cristo, não substituídas nem revogadas, e herdadas por aqueles que pertencem a Ele.
Minha posição não é que as promessas foram “substituídas”. O argumento bíblico é que elas foram cumpridas exatamente como Deus pretendia. Mesmo no Antigo Testamento, a pertença à aliança nunca foi definida meramente por etnia. Paulo deixa isso explícito em Romanos 9:6–8: “Nem todos os que são descendentes de Israel são Israel… não são os filhos da carne que são filhos de Deus, mas os filhos da promessa é que são considerados descendência.” Em outras palavras, mesmo dentro de Israel étnico sempre houve uma distinção entre descendência física e o verdadeiro povo da aliança. O verdadeiro Israel sempre foi definido pela fé na promessa de Deus, não apenas pela linhagem.
A Escritura torna isso ainda mais claro em Gálatas 3:16, onde Paulo diz que as promessas foram feitas a Abraão e à sua “descendência”, e que essa descendência é Cristo. Ele então tira a conclusão em Gálatas 3:29: “Se vocês pertencem a Cristo, então são descendência de Abraão, herdeiros segundo a promessa.” A herança, portanto, flui através de Cristo, não através da etnia.
Paulo reforça isso novamente em Romanos 2:28–29, onde afirma que o verdadeiro judeu não é o que o é exteriormente, mas o que o é interiormente, pelo Espírito. O Novo Testamento ensina consistentemente que a identidade da aliança é determinada pela fé, não pela linhagem.
O resultado da obra de Cristo não são dois povos da aliança, mas um só. Efésios 2:14–16 diz que Cristo derrubou o muro de separação entre judeu e gentio e criou “um novo homem”. A oliveira em Romanos 11 também reflete isso. Há uma única árvore da aliança. Ramos incrédulos são cortados por causa da incredulidade e gentios crentes são enxertados pela fé. A participação na aliança depende da fé em Cristo, não da etnia.
Dispensacionalistas frequentemente apelam para Romanos 11:26, “todo Israel será salvo”, mas essa passagem não estabelece um caminho de aliança separado para Israel étnico. Todo o argumento de Romanos 9–11 é que as promessas de Deus não falharam justamente porque o verdadeiro Israel é definido pela fé na promessa. No máximo, a passagem antecipa uma futura conversão de muitos judeus a Cristo, o que ainda confirmaria que a salvação vem somente através de Cristo, não por meio de uma aliança paralela.
O mesmo princípio se aplica às promessas da terra. O Novo Testamento as interpreta de forma cristológica. Gálatas 3 identifica Cristo como o herdeiro de Abraão, e Romanos 4:13 expande a promessa de uma herança territorial limitada para o mundo. A herança é cumprida e ampliada em Cristo, não preservada como um título político perpétuo.
Portanto, a afirmação cristã não é que Deus quebra suas promessas. É que Ele as cumpre perfeitamente em Cristo. Como Paulo diz em 2 Coríntios 1:20, “todas as promessas de Deus encontram nele o seu sim”.
A conclusão, portanto, é simples. As promessas feitas a Abraão são cumpridas em Cristo. O verdadeiro Israel sempre foi o povo da fé na promessa de Deus. Judeus e gentios são reunidos nessa promessa através de Cristo. Qualquer teologia que crie um caminho de aliança separado baseado em etnia ou em um Estado moderno se afasta do argumento claro do Novo Testamento.

There were a few red flags. At first I thought it might be a Chinese psyop, so in some ways it is reassuring that he simply appears to be an amateur historian.
My concern is not that he lacks a formal degree. On contentious issues that matter to people in power, formal qualifications can actually become a liability. They give institutions leverage, since credentials can be revoked and careers destroyed if someone challenges dominant narratives. Bitcoin is a good example. For more than a decade much of the mainstream commentary was wrong, while many of the people accurately explaining it were operating outside the traditional academic and financial systems.
What concerns me more is the decision to present himself as a professor, knowing the credibility that title carries in the minds of viewers. Why claim the authority the title implies? It could simply be a translation issue, where a Chinese word for teacher has been rendered as professor. Even so, it gives a strong impression of trying to mislead people. That said, I agree that his work largely stands on its own and, in many respects, makes sense.

O Novo Testamento é explícito ao afirmar que as promessas feitas a Abraão são cumpridas em Cristo. Paulo escreve em Gálatas 3:16 que a promessa foi feita a Abraão e à sua “descendência”, e que essa descendência é Cristo. Ele então declara claramente em Gálatas 3:29: “Se vocês pertencem a Cristo, então são descendência de Abraão, herdeiros segundo a promessa.”
A Escritura, portanto, define o povo de Deus não por etnia nem por um Estado político, mas pela fé em Cristo. Paulo deixa isso claro em Romanos 9:6–8: “Nem todos os descendentes de Israel são Israel… mas os filhos da promessa é que são considerados descendência.”
A própria Igreja primitiva começou com judeus que creram que Jesus é o Messias. Eles se tornaram os primeiros membros da Igreja. À medida que o Evangelho se espalhou, os gentios também foram incorporados, cumprindo o que Paulo descreve em Efésios 2:14–16, onde Cristo derruba o muro de separação entre judeu e gentio e cria um só povo de Deus de todas as nações.
Por causa disso, os cristãos sempre entenderam que o Reino de Deus não é definido por território, etnia ou soberania política. O próprio Jesus disse em João 18:36: “O meu reino não é deste mundo.”
É por isso que os cristãos devem ser cautelosos ao atribuir significado teológico a movimentos políticos modernos ou a Estados nacionais. Nossa lealdade é a Cristo e ao seu Reino, não a qualquer poder terreno. Materialmente, isso significa que a promessa da terra de Israel ao povo judeu já não permanece.
Comunidades cristãs vivem na Palestina desde os primeiros séculos da Igreja. Hoje muitas dessas comunidades estão presas em um genocídio devastador que trouxe enorme sofrimento e destruição aos civis, com colonos judeus deslocando-os de suas terras natais que ocupam há 2000 anos. Eles têm um direito intrínseco de possuir e defender essa terra. Quando pessoas são expulsas de suas casas e comunidades inteiras são destruídas, os cristãos não devem permanecer em silêncio.
O Evangelho chama os crentes a falar a verdade, defender os vulneráveis e recusar transformar o poder político em objeto de lealdade ou adoração. O Reino de Deus é somente através de Cristo, e reúne pessoas de todas as nações que creem nele.

O cristianismo não é lealdade a nenhum Estado político. É lealdade a Cristo. O Novo Testamento é claro que o povo de Deus não é definido por etnia nem por um Estado moderno, mas por Cristo somente.
O verdadeiro Israel, no sentido bíblico, são aqueles que estão em Cristo. Como diz Gálatas 3:28–29: “não há judeu nem grego… pois todos vocês são um em Cristo Jesus. E, se vocês são de Cristo, então são descendência de Abraão.”
O sionismo contradiz isso ao transformar as promessas de Deus em um projeto étnico e político. O Novo Testamento ensina o contrário. A pertença ao povo de Deus não vem por linhagem, território ou poder político, mas pela fé em Cristo. Quem rejeita Cristo rejeita fazer parte do povo de Deus.
Para os cristãos, elevar um Estado moderno ou uma identidade étnica a algo com significado teológico é um erro grave. Isso substitui o Evangelho pelo nacionalismo.
Nossa lealdade é ao Reino de Deus, não a impérios ou projetos políticos. A própria Escritura adverte repetidamente sobre poderes políticos que reivindicam status sagrado e exigem lealdade absoluta, aquilo que Apocalipse descreve simbolicamente como a besta.
O Evangelho une pessoas de todas as nações em Cristo. O sionismo tenta reconstruir o muro de separação que o Evangelho derrubou. É por isso que eu o rejeito.

Planned water birth at home, but with midwives.

2026-03-09 10:52:09 UTC

Today our family grew in the most incredible way.
Our baby arrived in what was technically a free birth. Labour moved so quickly that our little one was born at home in the water before the midwives could arrive, surrounded by some of her closest friends. It was filled with love. I was fortunate enough to catch my own child and lift her out of the water into the world, an amazing thing.
After our first birth in hospital, experiencing a home birth was completely different. It felt natural, grounded, and deeply personal. I’m so proud of my wife and in awe of her strength.
What makes today even more special is the road that led here. After years of infertility and miscarriages we had honestly given up hope. Then, not long after she stepped away from work, we were blessed with this pregnancy. It still feels like a miracle.
Our hearts are so full tonight.
Grateful for our growing family, for the friends who were there in that moment, and for the incredible woman I get to call my wife.

What do you think a power struggle between Israel and the US would look like?
Although they are allies, this comes through economic reality rather than shared values and goals. Despite what some wacko Zionist Christian heretics might preach.
Israel can apply pressure on the economy, such as threatening mass redundancies under the excuse of AI, to force the US to corporate in attacking Iran.
The US can strike back by legitimising cryptocurrency, weakening the control of central bankers by imposing hard constraints on the base money.

If you have the means to travel, go to the Arctic circle in summer and oberserve the sun rotate around the horizon over the day. Is a cool experience seperate and apart from verifying to yourself that you have been psyoped into wasting your time and energy, and marginalising your self.

Same thing probably happen in 1930s Germany, Hitler started as a response to the Weimar inflation but turned on the Jews, then Hitler's actions were used to demonise him and mobilise the world against him.

Sure it will be disruptive, like the Irish peasants being kicked off their land they had share farmed with the land Lord because it was more profitable to run sheep. But peasant jobs aren't the best jobs and eventually the people are redeployed elsewhere.

The graphic is misleading because it treats religious diversity and small scale conflict as evidence against the biblical record, when that is exactly what the Bible describes. Judges portrays a loose tribal society facing seasonal raids, forming temporary alliances, and struggling against the worship practices of the peoples in the land, including Asherah poles and high places. Gideon tearing down his father’s altar is not an embarrassment to the text but part of its honest portrayal of that struggle.
The books of Kings continue the same pattern. Israel and Judah repeatedly adopt local cult practices, and reforming kings like Hezekiah and Josiah remove high places and Asherah poles in an ongoing effort to distinguish Israelite worship from that of surrounding peoples. This continuity shows a long internal struggle to remain distinct, not a later invention projecting false unity.
Rather than undermining the biblical account, the very features the graphic points to actually reinforce its credibility as a record of a fragmented society gradually consolidating its identity amid persistent cultural and religious pressures.

Channel size doesn’t affect blockspace or the user capacity calculation. It affects usefulness and incentives. Larger channels route more payments, earn more fees, and require more capital, which favours well funded operators.

Back of the envelope:
~3,300 tx per block
52,560 blocks per year ~175M on chain tx/year
6 channels per user, ~2 year lifespan ~6 on chain tx per user/year
That supports ~29 million self custodial Lightning users worldwide if every block is used for channels and nothing else.
That’s the ceiling under generous assumptions. Reality is lower.
So scaling to billions doesn’t happen via sovereign users. It happens via: • fewer channels per user
• extremely long lived channels
• shared channels
• custody
And that’s where the centralising pressure comes from.
Lightning shifts economic power from proof of work → proof of liquidity.
Large hubs dominate because they have: • deep capital to lock in channels
• cheaper rebalancing and liquidity management
• better uptime and routing reliability
• pathfinding preference → traffic concentrates
Routing revenue compounds to the largest nodes. Smaller nodes become edge users, not infrastructure.
Custodial Lightning removes the need for users to open channels at all. At scale, that looks indistinguishable from banks running payment hubs with internal ledgers.
Meanwhile miners lose relative influence: • fewer on chain transactions per user
• suppressed fee growth as subsidy declines
• security budget pressure over time
Lightning works. But its incentive structure rewards liquidity concentration and custodial aggregation.
That’s not a bug. It’s the economic gravity of the system.
The real question isn’t whether Lightning works.
It’s who ends up controlling the rails when it scales.

You just need to calculate how many people can open a $1000-10000 lightning channel to see that lightning doesn't scale without L1 block size increase.
