What is #Bitcoin?
A peer-to-peer electronic cash system
Bitcoin is a unique, decentralized, peer-to-peer transaction network featuring a finite, programmable native digital currency.
Bitcoin (BTC), the intrinsic asset of the Bitcoin blockchain, operates autonomously, free from central authorities or administrators. The Bitcoin network's stability is achieved through the collaborative efforts of full nodes, miners, and developers.
Its foundation lies in a user-established and user-agreed social contract, which is strengthened by the strategic use of game theory and sophisticated cryptography.
Bitcoin's design ensures censorship-resistance, permissionless access, and a reliable store of value, making it an innovative and secure form of digital money.

Bukeles möglicher Coup: Schafft El Salvador die Bitcoin-Milliarde schon 2025?
https://legitim.ch/bukeles-moeglicher-coup-schafft-el-salvador-die-bitcoin-milliarde-schon-2025/
von Gregor Peters | 7. Sep. 2025
El Salvador trotzt weiter dem IWF und nun kam sogar ein Post des Präsidenten Bukele auf X, der sich auf einen verstärkten Bitcoinkauf beziehen könnte. Damit würde es dem Land vielleicht gelingen, je nach Kursverlauf von Bitcoin, bis Ende des Jahres Bitcoin im Wert von einer Milliarde US-Dollar zu besitzen. Für das kleine Land eine beträchtliche Menge, im internationalen Vergleich sind aber inzwischen eine Milliarde US-Dollar keine große Summe. Doch die Richtung scheint zu stimmen, denn sonst wäre der IWF nicht so stark gegen den Bitcoinkurs des Landes.
Die Kernpunkte dieses Artikels:
- Wann werden die Bitcoin-Bestände von El Salvador die Marke von einer Milliarde US-Dollar erreichen?
- Diese Frage hat bei den Wettenden auf Kalshi und Polymarket Aufschwung genommen, nachdem Präsident Nayib Bukele eine Nachricht veröffentlicht hatte.
Wachsende Wetten trotz Spannungen mit dem IWF
Während El Salvador weiter Bitcoin akkumuliert, profitieren Vorhersagemärkte wie Kalshi und Polymarket von dieser Dynamik. Die Wetten auf einen Bitcoin-Staatschatz von 1 Milliarde US-Dollar für die mittelamerikanische Nation steigen rasant. Optimismus scheint die Stimmung zu bestimmen, trotz der Spannungen mit den Finanzexperten des IWF (Internationaler Währungsfonds), der dem Land Kredite nur unter der Bedingung angeboten hatte, Abstand von Bitcoin zu nehmen. Es bleibt also abzuwarten, ob Bukele bald „die lustigste Sache“ tun wird…

Die Wahrheit der Lüge im Zeitalter der algorithmischen Vernunft, by @SimonHegelich https://open.substack.com/pub/simonhegelich/p/die-wahrheit-der-luge-im-zeitalter
"... Die entscheidende Frage ist nicht: „Ist die KI bewusst?“ Das ist eine narzisstische Ablenkung. Die wirklich beunruhigende Frage lautet: Inwieweit werden wir selbst zu probabilistischen Maschinen, die nur noch wiederholen, was in unserem sozialen und medialen Trainingsdatensatz die höchste Plausibilität besitzt?
Die wahre Gefahr ist nicht die Maschine, die wie ein Mensch lügt, sondern der Mensch, der wie eine Maschine aufhört, nach Wahrheit zu fragen."

Google beerdigt die Freiheit: Das Ende des offenen Android (Quelle (https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/08/elevating-android-security.html)) (Quelle (https://www.theregister.com/2025/08/26/android_developer_verification_sideloading/))
Mit der angekündigten Verifizierungspflicht für alle App-Entwickler ab 2026 vollzieht Google einen dramatischen Paradigmenwechsel, der das einst offene Android-Ökosystem in einen streng kontrollierten Walled Garden verwandelt. Was als "Sicherheitsmaßnahme" verkauft wird, entpuppt sich bei genauerer Betrachtung als perfider Griff nach totaler Kontrolle über die digitale Infrastruktur von Milliarden Menschen weltweit.
Die neue Regelung zwingt jeden Entwickler, seine vollständige Identität inklusive Ausweisdokumenten bei Google zu hinterlegen. Anonyme oder pseudonyme Entwicklung, bisher ein Grundpfeiler der Open-Source-Bewegung und essentiell für Whistleblower-Apps oder Protestsoftware in autoritären Regimen, wird damit unmöglich. Google mutiert zum alleinigen Torwächter, der nach eigenem Gutdünken entscheidet, welche Software auf Android-Geräten laufen darf.
Besonders perfide ist die Argumentation mit angeblich 50-mal mehr Malware bei Sideloading-Apps. Diese Statistik rechtfertigt keinesfalls die Abschaffung fundamentaler Nutzerfreiheiten. Erwachsene Menschen sollten selbst entscheiden dürfen, welche Risiken sie eingehen – genau wie sie auch ohne staatliche Bevormundung Auto fahren oder Alkohol konsumieren dürfen. Stattdessen etabliert Google ein System totaler Überwachung, in dem jede App-Installation nachverfolgbar wird.
Die Konsequenzen sind verheerend: Hobby-Entwickler werden aufgeben, innovative Projekte sterben, alternative App-Stores verlieren ihre Daseinsberechtigung. Android, einst als offene Alternative zu Apples iOS gefeiert, wird zu einem noch restriktiveren System – mit dem entscheidenden Unterschied, dass Google im Gegensatz zu Apple keinerlei glaubwürdige Privatsphäre-Versprechen abgibt.
Was bleibt, ist ein bitterer Beigeschmack: Unter dem Deckmantel der Sicherheit zementiert ein Megakonzern seine Monopolstellung und schafft eine Infrastruktur, die jederzeit für Zensur und Kontrolle missbraucht werden kann. Die digitale Freiheit stirbt nicht mit einem Knall, sondern mit einem Software-Update – und dem Applaus derer, die Sicherheit über Freiheit stellen.

#Proton - Schweizer-Techfirma verlagert Server ins Ausland
Das Genfer Technologieunternehmen friert seine Investitionen in der Schweiz ein. Grund dafür ist die vom Bundesrat beantragte Revision des Nachrichtendienstgesetzes und der Verordnung über die Überwachung des Post- und Fernmeldeverkehrs.
https://www.persoenlich.com/digital/techfirma-verlagert-server-ins-ausland
Proton-Chef Andy Yen hält die geplante Revision für extrem, wie er in der Zeitung Le Temps vom Donnerstag sagte. «Sie zielt darauf ab, in der Schweiz eine Massenüberwachung einzuführen, die nicht nur in der EU, sondern auch in den USA als illegal gilt.» Die Reform zwinge Schweizer Unternehmen, ihre Nutzer im Auftrag des Staates auszuspionieren.
«Sollte dieses Projekt verabschiedet werden, wären die von Proton in der Schweiz angebotenen Dienste weniger privat als die von Google in der Schweiz», hielt Yen fest. Da Proton keine Zusicherungen erhalten habe, dass die Bedenken der Branche vom Bundesrat berücksichtigt würden, könne das Unternehmen nicht mehr in der Schweiz investieren.
Server im Ausland statt in der Schweiz
«Das bedeutet, dass wir den Grossteil unserer physischen Infrastruktur aus der Schweiz verlagern müssen. Unsere KI-Rechenzentren werden nicht in der Schweiz stehen, da in diesem Bereich Vertraulichkeit unerlässlich ist.»
Yen ist nicht bereit, den endgültigen Entscheid bei diesem Thema abzuwarten. «Wir müssen schnell handeln.»
Das Unternehmen hat daher beschlossen, seine Server in Deutschland und Norwegen statt in der Schweiz zu installieren, um seine eigene KI namens Lumo zu betreiben. Die Investition beläuft sich auf rund hundert Millionen Franken. Dieser Entscheid ist nicht mehr umkehrbar.
Das Unternehmen plant bis zum Ende des Jahrzehnts Investitionen in Höhe von über einer Milliarde Franken, um in Europa mit Google konkurrieren zu können. Die restlichen 900 Millionen Franken könnten in Genf investiert werden. Proton werde die Schweiz nur verlassen, wenn es dazu gezwungen sei, betonte der Chef des Unternehmens. (sda/cbe)

Bitcoin steht vor einer problematischen Änderung – und kaum jemand redet offen darüber.
Der Vorschlag mit dem harmlos klingenden Titel „Relax OP_RETURN standardness restrictions“
https://groups.google.com/g/bitcoindev/c/d6ZO7gXGYbQ?pli=1
bedeutet im Klartext:
Bitcoin Core-Entwickler wollen es einfacher machen, mehr Daten in Bitcoin-Transaktionen einzubetten. Das öffnet Tür und Tor für Spam.
Aktuell schützt das Bitcoin-Netzwerk sich halbwegs dagegen: Es gibt Filter, die versuchen, unnötige Datenflut zu blockieren – ein ständiger Kampf zwischen Spammern und Entwicklern. Doch jetzt schlagen einige vor, diese Filter zu lockern oder ganz abzuschaffen.
Das Problem?
Spammer könnten günstig riesige Mengen Müll-Daten auf alle Bitcoin-Nutzer abladen.
Der Speicherbedarf wächst – für alle.
Die Änderungen würden eingeführt, ohne Nutzern eine Möglichkeit zum Ablehnen zu geben.
Einige der Unterstützer haben finanzielle Verbindungen zu Projekten, die genau von dieser Spam-Öffnung profitieren würden.
Manche Entwickler verteidigen das mit dem Argument, die Filter seien ohnehin wirkungslos – was seltsam klingt, wenn sie gleichzeitig so dringend entfernt werden sollen.
Fazit:
Dieser Vorschlag wirkt harmlos, ist aber hochpolitisch. Wer Bitcoin langfristig dezentral und nutzerfreundlich halten will, sollte sehr genau hinsehen, wem diese Änderung wirklich nützt – und wer am Ende die Rechnung zahlt.

Overall very good summary and explanation why Bitcoin is already designed with resistance to attacks even of possible future Quantum Computers. Satoshi even explicitly mentioned this.
One weakness is point 5 which a common mistake to assume that there is a cryptographic puzzle to solve - it is not. It is a brute force approach to find a fitting hash with certain demand of leading zeros.Overall very good summary and explanation why Bitcoin is already designed with resistance to attacks even of possible future Quantum Computers.

If I've learned anything in my nearly 15 years of working on bitcoin, it's that building trustless stuff on bitcoin is Hard (with a capital H). For the last 14 years, I've spent probably tens of thousands of hours trying to create the best user experiences for people who want to use bitcoin in a truly noncustodial way. Yet, every day feels like more of an uphill battle than the last.
...
Given the options today, Lightning, directly on a bitcoiner's device, is the only viable option here and ultimately must play an important role in any wallet wishing to consider itself a standard-bearer for Bitcoin.

Aus The ₿itcoin Myths debunked
#24 - Quantencomputer würden die Sicherheit von Bitcoin brechen?
Obwohl ECDSA unter Quantencomputern unsicher ist, gibt es Quantencomputer noch nicht und wird es wahrscheinlich auch eine Weile nicht geben. Das DWAVE-System, über das in der Presse oft geschrieben wird, ist, selbst wenn alle seine Behauptungen wahr sind, kein Quantencomputer einer Art, der für Kryptographie verwendet werden könnte. Die Sicherheit von Bitcoin hängt bei richtiger Verwendung mit einer neuen Richtung bei jeder Transaktion von mehr als nur ECDSA ab: Kryptografische Hashes sind unter QC viel stärker als ECDSA.
Die Sicherheit von Bitcoin wurde so konzipiert, dass sie abwärtskompatibel aktualisiert werden kann und bei einer drohenden Bedrohung aktualisiert werden kann (vgl. Aggarwal et al. 2017, „Quantenangriffe auf Bitcoin und wie man sich davor schützt“).
Siehe die Auswirkungen von Quantencomputern auf die Public-Key-Kryptografie.
Das Risiko von Quantencomputern besteht auch für Finanzinstitute wie Banken, da sie bei der Transaktionen.

Citadel v0.2.3 and #Citadel Nirvati Technical Preview Are Available to Download As Alpha Software
"Citadel is modern, mostly open source and soon to be fully FLOSS #Bitcoin #Node implementation originally based on Umbrel, but we have moved most of our codebase away from Umbrel."

Moving self-hosting beyond servers
Recently, self-hosting has been getting more popular. It promises independence of centralized cloud providers, and is giving control back to users. So far, there have been many issues with self-hosting that made many existing solutions impractical to use in practice, or at least significantly diminished the benefits. Self-hosting should be as simple as using cloud providers, but in a sovereign manner. That is why we are building Nirvati. In this post, I want to explain some of the conceptual drawbacks in currently available solutions, such as CasaOS, umbrelOS or startOS; and try to explain how we are building a better platform. Nirvati’s benefits are not just at the software level, but extend to the underlying concepts and ideas. This is why we can’t easily improve an existing software, but decided to build one from scratch.
Who owns your server?
Right now, many popular software projects that facilitate self-hosting are not really open source. While startOS is a notable exception, other solutions, such as umbrelOS or CasaOS claim to be “open”, but delay code releases, or don’t really have an open source license that allows any modifications. This considerably takes away control of “your” server. If you depend on a company to sustain the development of a software, that company could make arbitrary decisions (removing apps via an update, charging a fee for updates, take away download servers, ...) which could significantly impact what you can do with “your” server. Nirvati fixes this by using a Copyleft license. That basically means that you as a user can do anything you’d like with the code. There is just one exception: If you share (or sell) software based on our code with your modifications, you need to grant the same rights to your users we granted you. This ensures that even if a company decides to build a hosting solution or an alternative software on top, their version stays completely open, and we can merge back improvements. As part of the commercial backing, many systems hide support for 3rd party apps, or don’t support them at all, which makes you depend on another service with no easy way to opt out. In contrast, Nirvati allows you to add 3rd party app stores right into the main apps list, not a separate, hidden menu.

Day two of Bitcoin no longer being legal tender in El Salvador. Some updates...
#ElSalvador #Bukele #IMF #Bitcoin
"There are a lot of people who seem to misunderstand what Legal Tender means and also how IMF loans work
Bitcoin is no longer legal tender, anyone claiming the contrary is at best misinformed. I've attached what the actual law changes are so you can read for yourself that the language was changed, removing all references as bitcoin as money or legal tender, plus the actual conditions, such as the govt accepting bitcoin for things such as taxes, are now prohibited. I've also attached a screenshot of what the definition of legal tender is
El Salvador will not be able to buy Bitcoin with the loan, either direct or indirect. This is just an ignorant cope from a lot of bitcoiners tbh. Yes, money is fungible but the IMF isn't evil because they are dumb. They set the terms and it is at their sole discretion if the sprit of those conditions are being met. This isn't my opinion this is literally how every IMF loan has been structured for decades. Read a book. I'm so tired of seeing this cope. I will once again offer this: if you think I'm wrong and that El Salvador will take this money and then use it, either direct or indirect, to buy bitcoin, then let's bet 1 Bitcoin on it. If you're right, I send you one bitcoin. If you're wrong, you donate one bitcoin to @MyfirstBitcoin_
What about the one bitcoin per day program? I don't know. The language of the draft agreement doesn't seem to prohibit the continuation of that program and therefore I would have presumed that it would continue. That said, the fact they have been skipping days for the first time ever and with zero explanation makes me wonder. There is a screenshot of a three day gap in purchases from earlier this week and you can look this all up yourself on the blockchain of course
Final thoughts: The IMF is the enemy. Yesterday, today, tomorrow and EVERY DAY. This isn't necessarily about the content of the changes it's about making a deal with the devil. If you lay down with dogs, you get fleas"

Jeffrey Sachs: "U.S. Leaders Are Stupid & Arrogant!"
Renowned economist Jeffrey Sachs doesn't hold back in this explosive interview. He exposes U.S. arrogance, the misunderstandings and failures of global institutions, and why we can't trust our leaders. From Ukraine to Nord Stream, from deep state politics to global power struggles - this is a must-watch conversation!

Bukele failed his people as a economist, he spent to fast to much money on debt and now he accepted a deal with the devil the #IMF!! It is not about Bitcoin and the reserves they are developing great but he did not have enough for the amount of reckless spending.
Learn the basics from Milei and the Austrian economists Mr. Bukele !!
Here is the background:
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20e3l3xllwo
"El Salvador has struck a $1.4bn (£1.1bn) loan deal with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) after agreeing to scale back its controversial bitcoin policies.
The global lender said risks related to the adoption of the world's largest cryptocurrency had eased now that businesses will be allowed to decide whether or not to accept bitcoin.
In 2021, El Salvador became the first country in the world to make bitcoin legal tender.
This week, the cryptocurrency briefly hit a fresh record high of more than $108,000.
"The potential risks of the Bitcoin project will be diminished significantly in line with Fund policies," the IMF announcement said.
"Legal reforms will make acceptance of Bitcoin by the private sector voluntary. For the public sector, engagement in Bitcoin-related economic activities and transactions in and purchases of Bitcoin will be confined."
The deal, which is aimed to help support El Salvador's economy, still needs to approved by the IMF's executive board.
The IMF had opposed the Salvadorean President Nayib Bukele's crypto-friendly policies, warning they could become an obstacle to it offering financial assistance.
Still, Bukele celebrated on social media as bitcoin rallied after Donald Trump's US election victory in November.

Danke für den Interessanten Beitrag.
Die Kernaussagen basieren auf einem Modell der Werteebenen (Spiral Dynamics), das zwar interessante psychologische und soziologische Einsichten bietet, aber aus meiner Sicht stark vereinfachend und normativ wirkt.
Es wird hier unterstellt, dass Gesellschaften und Individuen sich linear auf bestimmten "Werteebenen" entwickeln, wobei die Ebenen hierarchisch strukturiert erscheinen.
Dies widerspricht (m)einer libertären Sichtweise, die Vielfalt und individuelle Selbstbestimmung als Grundprinzipien der Freiheit betrachtet, anstatt gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen in Kategorien zu zwingen.
Das Model zeigt zwar interessante Differenzierungen auf, ist jedoch aus libertärer Sicht zu kollektivistisch und zentralistisch geprägt und genau da sind aud meiner Sicht die Ursachen der aktuellen Demokratie-Krise zu sehen.
Ein dezentralisierter, individueller Ansatz, der auf Freiwilligkeit und Marktmechanismen basiert, wird nicht berücksichtigt, obwohl er eine zunehmend tragfähige Alternative zu den beschriebenen Wertesystemen darstellt.
Viele der beschriebenen Herausforderungen (z. B. Umweltprobleme, soziale Konflikte) können durch den Rückzug des Staates und die Einführung (wirklich) freier Märkte und privater Vereinbarungen besser gelöst werden - hierbei stellen die deutschen, staatlichen "Privatisierungen" z.B. im Bereich Gesundheit oder der Bahn eben keine wirklich freie Märkte her, sondern im Gegenteil konzern-staatliche Oligopole.
Gesellschaften sollten nicht danach beurteilt werden, auf welcher "Werteebene" sie sich befinden, sondern ob sie die Freiheit des Individuums respektieren und fördern.
Anstatt Werteebenen als evolutionäre Stadien zu betrachten, sollte der Fokus auf der freiwilligen Kooperation zwischen Individuen liegen, unabhängig von deren Weltbildern.

Political extremists taking over a successful Open Source project -- from the inside -- and imposing wild, discriminatory, political policies
NixOS commits "purge" of "Nazi" contributors, forces abdication of founder
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsDYul3J3Dc
03.07.2024
The Linux project descends into chaos as political activists enforce extremist politics.
Article
https://lunduke.locals.com/post/5819317/nixos-commits-a-purge-of-nazi-contributors-forces-abdication-of-founder
"I must express my deep disappointment and disbelief at the accusation of excluding people from minority or marginalized backgrounds," stated the Nix founder in a blog post on April 26th.
The following day, the Nix Foundation Board denounced the words of the Nix founder.
Then -- and this seriously happened -- the Nix Foundation Board began drafting an abdication letter on behalf of the NixOS founder.
This is real. Eelco Dolstra, the founder of Nix, had an abdication letter written for him and was pressured into signing it. One of the drafters made a note to the Nix Founder that he must add himself as a signatory of the letter "for it to appear amicable".
The abdication letter was posted, with the Nix Founder as a signatory, on April 30th. (https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nixos-foundation-board-giving-power-to-the-community/44552/109)
The NixOS Saga is Not Finished
This, truly, is a crazy tale.
Political extremists taking over a successful Open Source project -- from the inside -- and imposing wild, discriminatory, political policies. Followed by the vilification -- and mass "purge" -- of any who opposed their extremist politics... culminating in the (seemingly forced) abdication of the founder of the project itself.
And, perhaps even more wild, is the fact that this is only a small fraction of the NixOS story.
A story with a huge number of players, and hundreds of pages of documents. In-fighting. Abuse. Politics. And more than a few swear words.

The Bushido of Bitcoin
Svetski
@SvetskiWrites
"🚨WATCH THIS. SOUND ON🔉
2yrs, 7 drafts & 125,000 words later, The Bushido of Bitcoin is finally available for pre-order.
Writing this book has been a journey, and the process literally transformed my understanding of the world.
This is NOT another history of money or economic justification for Bitcoin. Been there, done that.
This is a book about virtue, excellence, culture and behaviour, which asks the harder questions:
What becomes of those who rise to the top, in the new socio-economic paradigm?
Will they become:
--> A new kind of parasite?
--> Another bunch of degenerate?
Or
--> Men & women of virtue.
It’s not enough to just say “Bitcoin Fixes This.”
We must do something about it."

T-Mobile Deutsche Telekom are running Bitcoin nodes, Lightning nodes and will start mining #bitcoin
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE.
Speaking at BTC Prague, Dirk Röder, head of Web3 infrastructure and solutions at Deutsche Telekom, said:
“Since 2023, we are running a Bitcoin node, and we are running Bitcoin Lightning nodes as well [...] I like to let you in on a little secret we will engage in digital monetary photosynthesis soon.”
Former Cointelegraph contributor Joseph Hall asked Röder if he could elaborate on the meaning of “digital monetary photosynthesis,” and "So is T-Mobile mining Bitcoin?!"
“We will.”
