Autocrats have always work to capture and undermine the democratic mechanisms that in principle should allow the expression of the people to take ground within the society. Even at the point where these mechanisms are broken they will keep shouting the virtue of democracy to create the illusion that people have some control but despite these facts, democratic governance remains the most promising governance model to take power out of the hands of autocrats. However, it’s a complicated model to implement well so it works as intended and remains resistant to cooptation over the long run. Direct democracy models are certainly worth experimenting with.

#Bitcoin price update:

It’s been 7 months since my last #BTC price update and as anticipated, the high probability bear scenario took place although, I wasn’t expecting the drop to be as sharp and deep. At this point there is no question that we are in a bear market and the question is what’s likely to take place next?

In my opinion all the models that have been used to track past cycles are going to be useless. Bitcoin price has entered a change of regime and it’s unlikely that we’ll ever see the typical 4 years cycle (3 years of bull, 1 year of bear) moving forward. The rainbow 🌈 chart has topped and what comes next may look more like a big upward expanding fan with a price oscillating between $40k and $300K for the next 16 years.

The hard truth is that for most people, Bitcoin has failed as a store-of-value. An investor who bought and held BTC since April 2021 has realized, more than 5 years later, exactly 0% return. For a passive investor only interested in making a financial return, T-bonds would have been a better place to park his money.

Of course this is cherry-picking the investment timeframe and many will argue that holding Bitcoin over a longer time horizon will systematically turn out to be a superior investment but if Bitcoin really has entered a new regime, I’m doubtful that this assumption will hold.

I think Bitcoin will remain an attractive asset to get in and out but if BTC starts to oscillate in a range for the next decade, holding without taking profit will be a risky approach.

In the short term, I think that Bitcoin is likely to have bottomed. We may get a final push down to the $55K zone but my highest probability scenario (70%) is that BTC starts ripping to the upside between now and November to reach the $110k area. If this takes place, it won’t be the moment to be too excited as lower lows are still likely to be seen.

My expectation for a multi-year sideway price action hasn’t changed. The next significant breakout is unlikely to take place before 2030. Of course the expanding fan pattern shown on the chart is highly speculative as anything can happen but geometric configurations are already here to welcome this pattern, for Bitcoin to reach $1M before 2030, BTC will have to demonstrate extreme strength.

#Tradestr

Quick #Bitcoin price update:

#BTC broke the $90,672 level which was the last line in the sand for the bull scenario to remain probable. With this level broken and even if we bounce from here, I give the bull path under 10% chance of playing out. The bear path likelihood is now at 80%. There probably won’t be much to update on the high time frame moving forward as I don’t see a strong alternative to a multi years sideway consolidation for now (unless we reach the grayed out box). If I keep on doing those updates, it will probably be to zoom in on the lower time frame.

I’m not sure that most people tolerate those anymore and I bet you don’t know either. And the reason we don’t really know is because we don’t have the tools to measure this sentiment. At best, we have to rely on an organization doing a survey on the subject but can this organization be trusted? How can you know if this organization is bias or even worse corrupted? Most of the time you just can’t or at least not easily. Hence the necessity to deploy tools that will allow us to get an uncompromised sense of what people think or want.

2026-06-06T09:32:11Z

The concept of democracy if often highly critized on Nostr but I think that many confound corrupted so-called democracies for what a democracy is supposed to be.

I think it’s fair to say that most so-called democracy aren’t actually democracies and those that may have been at the beginning likely got corrupted over time. Even the concept of representative democracy goes against the nature of democratic principles. However, representative democracies were a necessity at a time where transportation and communication tech were slow or non existant.

This is not the case anymore. True direct democracies are now achievable through a combination of various tech. I think it is the only governance model that will have a chance to compete against raising technocracies.

I also totally understand the anarchist view which is to not want to be ruled by anyone whether it is one person or a majority of people. I tend to agree with this ideal but in practice a model of governance get established whether we like it or not and often times they are hard to ignore especially tween they lean towards authoritarianism. I still believe that a true direct democracy is likely be the less worst governance model but I’m curious of the arguments for anyone thinking otherwise.

_________________________

Unfortunately mass-adoption is unlikely to happen in this timeframe. Once the surveillance grid will be in place the only alternative left to acquire #Monero will be great OpSec + decentralized P2P marketplace + anonymized crypto or other goods and services as a mean of exchange. The barrier to entry will be high and only motivated and capable people will able to acquire it. Enforcement of the surveillance grid will impact current holders as well. The utility of #XMR is greatly dependent on growing the user base (people using it to buy and sell things) which will be constrained by this grid. This is the crypto/Monero dilemma for its use as a medium of exchange. To get a critical mass of users interested in using Monero for payment we need fiat currencies to become restrictive enough to entice people in seeking alternatives, however alternatives are harder to adopt in an environment in which the usage for fiat currencies is restricted. Hence, the only way to break this loop is to tie the economic system to a decentralized currency.

I see, but prediction markets are not so different from direct democracy, at least it relies on the same mechanism of relying on collective intelligence for decision making. The only difference is the addition of a direct financial incentive. Although we can argue that the financial incentive is already built in the price of Bitcoin so people would try to make decisions that benefit their vested interest in Bitcoin.

It seems that what you’re proposing here is to implement a representative democracy on Bitcoin. I would be more in favor of a direct democracy that is well suited to decide the future of a public good such as Bitcoin. Elective democracy is more prone to corruption and while I agree that the plebs is not all knowing in all matters, collective intelligence is often superior to the intelligence of one corruptible committee of men. Open debates between experts would certainly be an important component to maintain. Participating in a process of direct democracy is optional and would require active participation from the node runners so it’s not everybody that would show up to have their voice heard, only those with a honest interest in improving the protocol.

Governance in #Bitcoin is stuck because the mining power is too centralized and miners don’t really care about politics, they just want to make money for securing the network. Now imagine that governance would be decided by node runners and that to an eligible node runner you just need to prove that you are a unique human to prevent Sybil attacks. Would it be a bad way to govern the protocol?

He will do anything they ask him to prevent the release of the video footages tapped by Epstein.

With #Trump going to war with #Iran some of his supporters come to realize that he is being owned. However, this is not a recent phenomena, #Trump has been owned for decades and that’s why he was elected twice. They don’t care if he lose the mid-terms because the final objective of having him as President was to start this war. The mission is already accomplished.

People got fooled once again although there were telling signs that he was compromised such as his documented relation with Epstein and Maxwell, his participation in the #QAnon psyop and his acting role in the staging of his failed assassination attempt.

I don’t know what’s going on with #Nostr / damus (npub18m7…q955) but I can’t see a note that I have posted multiple times while I can see my « GM » note (that I posted as a test). It seems that someone has replied to the note (that I can’t see) as I received a push notification for the reply but I just can’t see the note anywhere. It seems I’m having a lot of similar glitches lately (especially getting notified for people replies but. Ot being able to see the reply). I don’t even know how I can troubleshoot this. I may just have to try a new client. We are still a long way to be able to compete with centralized social media platforms…

The #epsteinfiles are rewritting the history of #Bitcoin and demonstrate how a grass-root movement can remain co-opted for years by social engineers.

What is the path forward for Bitcoin to repair the damage of a lost decade?

2026-02-13T05:16:40Z

Some MAGA folks claim that #Trump is clean from the #EpsteinFiles because a document shows that he called the police on Epstein (and supposedly he was one of the first to do so). This claim is made without considering the broader context. Trump called the police AFTER it was known that an investigation had been opened on #Epstein. This seems like a lame attempt from Trump to save his ass before the scandal blows up to Epstein’s circle. If Trump would have really cared about saving the children from Epstein’s evil, he would have contacted the police years before and not just when shit is about to hit the fan.

It’s been know for years that Trump is owned by the Rothschild and now that the connection between them and Epstein is confirmed, it becomes increasingly difficult to make the case that Trump is not implicated in wrongdoing along with Epstein.

Yes, but #Bitcoin path got derailed with the scaling debate. This debate is still one to have because let’s be honest, Bitcoin doesn’t scale to a global usage. The lightning network was accepted as the solution to this issue. Now that it has failed, what’s next? Recognizing that BTC got co-opted along the way without reassassing the beliefs that were cemented as a result of this psyop will keep us in the unsatisfactory status quo.

Is #Qubic’s attack strengthening the cas for #Monero to migrate ...

2025-08-09T06:05:21Z

Is #Qubic’s attack strengthening the cas for #Monero to migrate to hybrid PoW/PoS?

Although far to be a total victory, Qubic’s merge mining attack on Monero shedded light on a weakness for pure PoW blockchains. Indeed, merge mining enables an auxiliary chain to incentivize the concentration of the hashpower in exchange of extra rewards. In the case of Qubic, the flaw is more apparent as Qubic has been intentionally adversarial but the same issue would remain for other non-adversarial auxiliary chains such as #Tari or #DarkFi. Because of the extra rewards offered, it would be rational for economically motivated miners to direct their hashpower to those auxiliary chains, hence concentrating hashpower over time.

Maybe some smart brains will figure out a solution that would prohibit merge mine on a pure PoW blockchain but assuming this can’t be done, a PoW/PoS mechanism could be an alternative solution.

It’s exactly because of security concerns that some PoW blockchains have moved to a hybrid PoW/PoS model.

#eCash (a fork of BCH by Amaury Sechet, the founder of BCH), has moved to a hybrid PoW/PoS (Nakamoto+Avalanche consensus) to prevent 51% attacks on the network and improve the user experience (sub 3 seconds finality). The goal of eCash is to be the best form of digital cash which requires fast finality. Still in the case of eCash, it can be debated whether or not digital cash with optional privacy can be the best form of cash (to most Monero folks, the answer would be no).

Another example is Boolberry that was relaunched as #Zano with the migration from pure PoW to a hybrid PoW/PoS chain. Here again, security concerns motivated the transition. On the user experience front, Zano also benefited from the integration of PoS by offering faster transaction finality. Notably, it’s likely why Aaron Day chose Zano over Monero for the launch of his point-of-sales system as long finality times aren’t acceptable for in-person merchant payments. It’s questionable whether Zano is secured enough with PoS as the coin distribution was heavily influenced by the Boolberry premine, but this is not an issue that Monero would have.

Due to its fair launch, focus on medium-of-exchange and lack of supply held on exchanges (thanks to the delistings) Monero is really well positioned to augment its consensus with PoS without fearing attacks related to the concentration of #XMR in the hands of a few. PoS presents the advantage to lower the barrier to entry to participate in the consensus and earn a share of the coin emission. It should make the network more resilient to the attack of a small actor (let’s be honest, Qubic is a small actor). Plus some PoS consensus such as Avalanche can allow for a high degree of coin concentration without risking the network of being attacked. Even with a classic PoS consensus, Monero would certainly be one of the most secure PoS chain out there.

In addition, PoS would enable faster transaction finality which is a key feature Monero lacks to be the best digital cash possible.

That said, PoW still has its importance for Monero. In pure PoS blockchains, a new validator joining the network needs to connect to a set of trusted validators to load the blockchain history. Those are usually maintain by the core teams or foundation. The real utility of PoW is to enable a new validator to bootstrap the blockchain in a trustless manner (by seeking the chain with the most work rather than trusting a given set of validators). Hence a PoW/PoS model is preferable to a pure PoS model.

It’s no secret that the culture of the Monero community is generally opposed to PoS. Maybe this strong stance is slightly ideologically driven. We certainly can be proud of being one of the few respected PoW blockchain left out there but maybe this Qubic event will change the narrative. Whichever path Monero takes next, hopefully the chain will gain in resiliency.
