Bitcoin is computational. Its logic is math.\n\nBut even in the age of AI agents, the ultimate users of the Bitcoin network are people.WE are the ones who install ASICs, spin up nodes, sign transactions, and build software.\n\nAnd more than that, WE are the ones who make decisions. Our decisions, just like everyone\u2019s, are based on experience, trust, and emotion (as well as information).\n\nMost bitcoiners and companies in the space still use computerized terms like \u0027cyber hornets\u0027 or \u0027human nodes\u0027 to sell the dream of a better world.\n\nIn this article, I\u2019m going to tell you why this is Bitcoin\u2019s biggest problem, and how you, and all the humans of Bitcoin, can be the heroes that save the day.\n\n(watch as a video here)\n\n            \n                \n                \n                \n            \n            Human-to-human communication in Bitcoin\n\n        ## The Attention Economy Is Working Against Bitcoin\n\nThe mainstream media\u0027s relationship with Bitcoin is predictable: bear versus bull, price rising versus price crashing.\n\nWithin the Bitcoin community itself, the narratives are still polemic: KYC versus non-KYC, Core versus Knots. These framings are engineered for attention. Content on these topics generates a brief spike of outrage or excitement, then the audience clicks away, and the cycle resets.\n\nPolarity doesn\u2019t encourage deep thought or nuanced discussion.\n\nBecause Bitcoin has no founder in the traditional sense, no Steve Jobs or Sam Altman for journalists to profile, traditional media fills the gap with criticism: Trump\u2019s shitcoinery, lost wallets in a landfill, scams, and seizures. Any story with a human face attached to failure travels far.\n\nWithin the industry, the counter-narrative is more positive but totally faceless. Institutional adoption, policy developments, and new technologies \u2014 these are stories that attract systems thinkers, engineers, and developers. People with a GitHub account or a toolbox in the garage. That is the demographic that already knows about Bitcoin. The 95% who are not yet in the space do not think this way, and headlines aimed at systems thinkers simply do not reach them.\n\n## Pitching Bitcoin Is Not the Same as Telling a Story!\n\n![Solving Bitcoin\u0027s Biggest Problem through Human-to-Human Communication](https:\/\/media.licdn.com\/dms\/image\/v2\/D4E12AQHYXYLuS1CzTA\/article-inline_image-shrink_1000_1488\/B4EZ6JrhP7HoAI-\/0\/1780426348638?e=1782345600\u0026v=beta\u0026t=sOWmWiRcyL8g5iQSHRJLkAf3OO0g_ltdlgW29zjk5x0)Most bitcoiners have given a futile five-minute pitch, an attempt to compress years of learning into a diatribe about why someone should abandon the money they know and trust in favour of \u0022magic internet money.\u0022 It rarely works, and the reason is structural.\n\nBitcoin is not a story. It is a technology, extraordinarily complex, wide-ranging, and far-reaching.\n\n- Fire is not a story.\n- The printing press is not a story.\n- The motor car is not a story.\n- The internet is not a story.\n\nTechnologies become stories only when people share what those technologies *do* to human lives.\n\nUseful technologies solve technical problems. But **problem-solution is NOT a story.**\n\n**A story requires three elements: conflict, characters, and resolution.**\n\n**Conflict** is a problem difficult enough to generate genuine suspense and intrigue. Bitcoin has conflict in abundance (the problems of the fiat world are real and significant), but that conflict is abstract and too complex for most people to grasp without context.\n\n**Characters** must be three-dimensional, not archetypes like the nocoiner normie or the sovereign maximalist. Real people have flaws, vulnerabilities, and inconsistencies. These make 3D characters that audiences can genuinely empathise with. For example, I enjoy watching people punch each other in the face inside a cage, but I also make up nicknames, songs, and dances for the two cats I keep as pets. I make inspired decisions on some days, and on others, I leave my glasses in the microwave or spend 27 minutes picking a scab. That is humanity. It\u2019s honest and real. Characters must change, too. Maybe one day, I\u2019ll learn not to pick scabs.\n\n**Resolution** is where Bitcoin storytelling fails most consistently. The community is so focused on problem and solution that it neglects to show the *effects* \u2014 what Bitcoin actually does for real people\u0027s lives. Without resolution, there is no satisfying arc, and without a satisfying arc, there is no story worth sharing.\n\n## Who Are We Actually Talking To?\n\n![Solving Bitcoin\u0027s Biggest Problem through Human-to-Human Communication](https:\/\/media.licdn.com\/dms\/image\/v2\/D4E12AQETEzTuVR1o6w\/article-inline_image-shrink_1000_1488\/B4EZ6JrqDmKsAI-\/0\/1780426384671?e=1782345600\u0026v=beta\u0026t=0Di2fLiAZ-B9Pb7lq2FgylDlbdZtHmIAuMRHdWgyTX8)Let\u2019s think of the adoption curve as a marketing plan. Effective marketing plans are not scattergun approaches. They are targeted. The early adopters watching a Bitcoin conference talk are not the audience that needs convincing. The next wave is.Every group along this curve has different mindsets, different emotional triggers, and their brains are wired differently.\n\nI often ask my clients, \u2018Who is your ideal client profile?\u2019\u2018\n\nEveryone except trad-fi yuppie elites,\u2019 they say.\n\n*Sigh.* \n\nThere is no one approach or message that resonates with everyone. When I push them further, they usually describe someone with eight-plus years in the space and a GitHub account. Those people are already here! \n\nThe real work is identifying where potential users actually are \u2014 emotionally, financially, psychologically \u2014 at any given moment. People are not fixed points on an adoption curve. They shift. They are inconsistent, just like you and me.\n\n## From Burnout to Timelord: My Bitcoin Journey\n\n![Solving Bitcoin\u0027s Biggest Problem through Human-to-Human Communication](https:\/\/media.licdn.com\/dms\/image\/v2\/D4E12AQFsQ6D-EtjFaQ\/article-inline_image-shrink_1000_1488\/B4EZ6JsG6JIwAM-\/0\/1780426504026?e=1782345600\u0026v=beta\u0026t=e9XgfkiYgzeLs4fKffHeWOv5vqMsAQMUU5j-YitIZ_g)I call myself \u2018totally human\u2019, not because I hate AI, but because I want to embed humanity into my work. \u2018Totally human\u2019 shouldn\u2019t be necessary to add for writers, but in 2026, it is. That\u2019s kind of the joke. If you can recognise this as playful and not literal, then I\u2019ve shown you a bit of who I am. You\u2019ve begun writing my story in your mind.\n\nI went to my first conference in Madeira in 2024 to promote the world\u2019s first Bitcoin fiction anthology. At that time, I was trying to figure out how to balance the stress of running a coaching business with writing fiction, my long-term passion. The conference was a nice break and a chance to learn.\n\nThe problem was I felt too nervous to speak to anyone. I\u2019m used to looking at words on a screen, not networking and passing my business card to [Roy Sheinfeld](https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/roysheinfeld\/?ref=europeanbitcoiners.com) , [Lyn Alden](https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lynalden\/?ref=europeanbitcoiners.com) [Jeff Booth](https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jeffdbooth\/?ref=europeanbitcoiners.com). They were all just walking around chatting with people! I felt terrified of being found out in a technical discussion (I am not a developer, and I haven\u2019t been in Bitcoin since 2011, like most of them). So I just listened to some of the issues people were talking about.That same year, I was feeling totally burned out running my coaching business. It\u2019s so tiring to fail, try again, and fail again. I was working 6 or 7 days a week to make the same money I earned in an advertising job I had in 2009. Putting weeks of effort into a new course or service and hearing crickets as a response is crushing.I decided to transition to my passion \u2014 writing. After making lists upon lists of the best niches and possible clients, it hit me. I was constantly thinking about that conference in Madeira, and there was a gap in the market where virtually no one had niche knowledge and strong communication skills.\n\nGetting inspired by listening to and meeting others with real stories at that conference was the tipping point for me to change the direction of my life.The biggest difference for me now is I can say \u2018no\u2019 more. I say \u2018no\u2019 to bad bosses and mechanical tasks. I say \u2018no\u2019 to shitcoin clients. I say \u2018no\u2019 to anything that I don\u2019t want to focus my energy on.Working with the humans of Bitcoin gave me control and sovereignty over my time. That\u2019s the happily ever after for me.\n\n*Who cares?* you think. \n\nThat\u2019s YOUR story. What\u2019s in it for MEEEEEEEEEE?\n\nWell, I believe that character, conflict, and resolution is a better way to share what I do than any ROI percentage charts or newsletter readership numbers.And In order for any of us to succeed in Bitcoin, we must help plebs, investors, partners, and even FT readers see the EXPERIENCE that formed our ideas, and communicate the EFFECTS it had on us.I ensure the input of my writing is based on real lived experience, and I make sure the output is relatable and relevant for real humans. Maybe you want to reclaim sovereignty over your time again? Perhaps you will have your Madeira moment soon.\n\n***We care about ourselves, and we relate to others.*** \n\nThat\u2019s actually a good mindset to adopt when thinking about your role in Bitcoin. No one cares about you, your product, or even Bitcoin. They care about how it affects them. They want to connect with your stories only so they can apply the meaning to their own lives.\n\n## Persuasion Has Seven Levers \u2014 Bitcoin Is Only Pulling One\n\n![Solving Bitcoin\u0027s Biggest Problem through Human-to-Human Communication](https:\/\/media.licdn.com\/dms\/image\/v2\/D4E12AQGXhNMSVGupbA\/article-inline_image-shrink_1000_1488\/B4EZ6JslH1JgAQ-\/0\/1780426625764?e=1782345600\u0026v=beta\u0026t=fKmDE5oyll_HeWbo4ORoR5NF6ExcMEA3kl81YIU3Xww)Communication in Bitcoin must show the real human experience that shapes our work, and the real human effects of it. Focusing on the product, service, or network itself misses the mark because it fails to persuade people whose attention is elsewhere.We must get better at persuading.\n\nOf Cialdini\u0027s 7 principles of persuasion, Bitcoin is only doing scarcity well. The other emotional levers are being left largely untouched.\n\n**Reciprocity** means offering before asking. We should share expertise first, offering interviews, giving up time, and only then making a request. **Authority** means backing claims with evidence (e.g., the way analyst [Daniel Batten](https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/danielsbatten\/?ref=europeanbitcoiners.com) rigorously supports his work in the energy sector). We need more of this. **Consistency** does not mean posting a dozen times a day; it means sticking to a message so that people understand who you are and what you stand for. **Likeability** requires vulnerability. Platforms like LinkedIn can generate incredible connections and partnerships if you are willing to share challenges, failures, and real-life imperfections rather than only company announcements and product updates. For example, I once spent three days looking for my glasses before I found them in the microwave. **Social proof** means making users and customers the stars of the story, not the technology. Finally, **unity** is something we can show in Bitcoin by championing good actors and opinions that align with Satoshi\u2019s principles.\n\nIf we tap into these principles of persuasion, readers, listeners, and viewers say \u2018YES. That\u2019s me!\u2019 or \u2018I AM interested.\u2019 That the goal of communication for me.\n\nA quick mention of the companies in the space doing this well at the moment:\n\n![Solving Bitcoin\u0027s Biggest Problem through Human-to-Human Communication](https:\/\/media.licdn.com\/dms\/image\/v2\/D4E12AQFH7rYzpfB_QA\/article-inline_image-shrink_1000_1488\/B4EZ6JsxvJK0AM-\/0\/1780426678995?e=1782345600\u0026v=beta\u0026t=Gue3LPgy1Djwc5mKqkK7kMouVJvz0Jz_Eqwtpekj_Jw)From top left: Gridless, Geyser, Club Orange, Steak \u0027n\u0027 Shake, HRF, Primal.\n\n- [**Gridless**](https:\/\/gridlesscompute.com\/?ref=europeanbitcoiners.com) \u2014 a mining operation that electrifies rural communities in Africa and shares the impact on local people.\n- [**Geyser**](https:\/\/guide.geyser.fund\/geyser-docs\/your-project-guides\/success-stories?ref=europeanbitcoiners.com) \u2014 a crowdfunding platform that shares how campaign were successfully funded.\n- [**Club Orange**](https:\/\/www.cluborange.org\/?ref=europeanbitcoiners.com) \u2014 a meetup app for bitcoiners which shares photos and stories from communities across the world.\n- [**Steak \u2018n\u2019 Shake**](https:\/\/www.steaknshake.com\/?ref=europeanbitcoiners.com) \u2014 A fast food chain that created a buzz with user-generated content for its Lightning integration.\n- [**Human Rights Foundation**](https:\/\/hrf.org\/?ref=europeanbitcoiners.com) \u2014 an NGO that encourages its own project leaders to share stories on stage about the human impact of Bitcoin.\n- [**Primal**](https:\/\/primal.net\/home?ref=europeanbitcoiners.com) \u2014 A Nostr client whose team lives in the jungle in Costa Rica, sharing stories of circular economies, sloths, and surfing.\n\nI\u0027m sure there are more good examples of Bitcoin-native comms. If you know of one, please drop it in the comments.\n\n## LLMs are Backward-Facing; Creativity Writes the Future\n\n![Solving Bitcoin\u0027s Biggest Problem through Human-to-Human Communication](https:\/\/media.licdn.com\/dms\/image\/v2\/D4E12AQEKpD7Pb7VyzA\/article-inline_image-shrink_1000_1488\/B4EZ6JtBjyIkAM-\/0\/1780426742706?e=1782345600\u0026v=beta\u0026t=PRSjqp1hFUTIhiYLWpn6CUGRlTMikNba6gmE1wjfAeA)Strauss Zelnick, the CEO of Rockstar Games, recently dismissed the idea of AI generating a hit game like Grand Theft Auto as a laughable idea. That\u2019s because creativity is informed by data and seeks to create something unique, surprising, and new, while AI is big data sets, lots of compute power, and a large language model. LLMs can only rehash existing data into derivative assets. This will not create a hit video game. Neither will it move the needle in Bitcoin adoption.\n\nLook at this grid of AI-generated thumbnails and graphics. Imagine that behind each one lies a video, an article, a podcast. Which ones look worth investigating? None of them. If there is no proof of work in the image, the assumption is that there is no proof of work in the content.\n\nMore fundamentally, the value in content is the biological lived experience that informed it and went into producing it. As the marginal cost of generating machine content trends toward zero, the premium on authentic human expression goes up and to the right.Real, unfakeable time and effort are scarce, and IRL experiences are back in style. In Bitcoin, we must not outsource the work to machines or anyone else. For our communication to be valuable, we must invest in it.\n\n## My Three Mantras for Better Bitcoin Communication\n\n![Solving Bitcoin\u0027s Biggest Problem through Human-to-Human Communication](https:\/\/media.licdn.com\/dms\/image\/v2\/D4E12AQFd6eslqtTJmg\/article-inline_image-shrink_1000_1488\/B4EZ6JtIJhJEAQ-\/0\/1780426770796?e=1782345600\u0026v=beta\u0026t=mPsOEt8GW58EZq0A26fhmi7n10aLwdmAhxxOWQeodvQ)For anyone working in Bitcoin, whether building a product, running a community, or simply trying to bring a friend or family member into the fold, I humbly present three actionable mantras.\n\n**Always be human:** Start by remembering that every decision is made by a person. You are a human speaking to a human. These are our decisions, our impact, our lives. WE are the ones who write the future of Bitcoin and its impact on our species.\n\n**Develop your characters:** If you are sharing your own story, go deeper than the surface version. Share your vulnerabilities, your contradictions, the messy human reality of your journey. If you are trying to reach a user or customer, resist the temptation to flatten them into a demographic. Build a full, three-dimensional picture of where they are right now.\n\n**Just tell stories:** Don\u2019t get stuck in problem-solution mode. Embrace conflict, invest in characters, and show the impact of your work. Share what Bitcoin actually *does* for people. That is where the story lives.\n\nThe humans of Bitcoin have everything they need to communicate better and get the results they want. To get there, we should listen to each other, draft our characters, and do the hard work of crafting stories.\n\nBitcoin is built on proof of work. Its communication should be too.","image":"https:\/\/europeanbitcoiners.com\/content\/images\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-02-4.15.46-PM.png","pubkey":"e79eacebd45d07ff4e10589fbdd15b8b93a96e33f2dc47ecc3efd8b86d1ba05b","kind":30023,"createdAt":"2026-06-08T14:50:45+00:00","publishedAt":"2026-06-08T14:50:45+00:00","topics":["artifical intelligence","business","companies","conference","culture","english","investment","madeira","newbies","philosophy","proof of work","read:long"],"url":"https:\/\/shoreline.decentnewsroom.com\/mag\/european-bitcoiners-49b249\/cat\/english-5b132f\/d\/solving-bitcoin-s-biggest-problem-through-human-to-2026-06-08-145045"},{"title":"Bitchill S04","slug":"bitchill-s04-2026-05-13-102957","summary":"\ud83c\udf34 Bitchill returns for S04!

While I don\u0027t have anything interesting to say about quantum mechanics or whether these computers are vaporware or just around the corner I am of the opinion that nodes can mitigate very efficiently the problems caused by technology that is capable of breaking the ECDSA algorithm, and even that these computers (if they ever materialize) will also benefit Bitcoin in several ways. This is what I want to explore today in this article.\n\nFor the sake of argument we\u0027ll assume that we\u0027re in the most \u0022pessimistic\u0022 scenario imaginable: that Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computers (CRQC) are only 5-10 years down the line, that they\u0027ll be able to derive ECDSA and Schnorr private keys from public keys in a few seconds, and that the energetic cost to do this computation once these computers are operational will be negligible. We\u0027ll further assume that a suitable quantum-resistant signature scheme for Bitcoin won\u0027t be devised nor soft-forked into the protocol **until years after** CRQCs are operational.\n\nI have no opinion on how likely or unlikely this scenario is, but if a proposal can keep the Bitcoin network from breaking completely in this scenario it should also be effective in any other (milder) scenarios.\n\n## So why are quantum computers dangerous again?\n\nA sufficiently advanced QRQC is able to recover the private key from any ECDSA or Schorr public key, an operation that is currently impossible because classical computers would take an inordinate amount of time to do this.\n\nThere are two types of Bitcoin addresses that expose their public key bare when an UTXO is created: P2PK and P2TR key-path spends. P2PK was the first address type and only a handful of people used it in the early days of Bitcoin, most notably Satoshi\u0027s mining rewards. P2TR key-path on the other hand is the most common address type in the UTXO set nowadays.\n\nAll other address types lock sats to the hash of a public key, not the public key itself. In this case the recipient reveals the public key (along with a valid ECDSA signature) when he creates a transaction that spends that UTXO. Quantum computers cannot reverse hashes because hashing data is a destructive operation, there\u0027s simply no way to go backwards.\n\nThe [BIP-360](https:\/\/bips.xyz\/360?ref=europeanbitcoiners.com#long-exposure-vs-short-exposure-attacks) proposal differentiates between \u0022short exposure\u0022 and \u0022long exposure\u0022 quantum attacks, and it\u0027s important to understand this distinction.\n\nLong exposure attacks are attacks on public addresses that are permanently exposed on the blockchain. This includes all P2PK, P2TR key-path and all other address types that have been spent at least once. A CRQC has as much time as it needs to crack these public keys.\n\nA short exposure attack is an attack on a public key that has just been revealed by the original owner of the private key, and is sitting in the mempool pending confirmation. These attacks have a very short window of opportunity (normally minutes to an hour, depending on how fast blocks are found and the transaction fee). We assumed that our CRQCs can crack public keys instantly, so these are feasible in our scenario. A CRQC operator can crack public keys from the mempool, then efficiently replace the legit transactions with their own RBF transcation (Replace By Fee) that spend the same UTXOs but pays a bit more fees.\n\nIn general, a bitcoiner who doesn\u0027t use Taproot singlesig addresses and doesn\u0027t reuse his addresses *is not vulnerable to long exposure attacks*. However *he is still vulnerable to short exposure attacks*, as CRQCs operators can RBF his outgoing transactions and steal the sats before their legit transactions are confirmed at least once.\n\n## Won\u0027t somebody please think of the children?\n\nI hold the radical idea that bitcoiners don\u0027t need to worry about long exposure attacks at all.\n\nThe main reason for that is that we rightfully never considered to make any protocol changes for the sake of the people who trusted third party custodians that rugged them, or who got their keys stolen in a computer hack or entered their 12 words to a phishing site. Similarly, to wantonly leave exposed for a long period of time your unspent bitcoin public keys should be treated no different than sharing your seed with an online scammer.\n\n![BIP-369 or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Quantum Computer](https:\/\/europeanbitcoiners.com\/content\/images\/2026\/04\/HGCzlVYW8AACYY7.jpeg)What about Satoshi\u0027s coins (they\u0027re in P2PK outputs), dead people or those funds whose keys were simply lost? I think of these coins as seabed treasure. Their original owners are no longer with us or they lost control on these coins irrevocably, so they\u0027re free game to anyone who can recover those keys (assuming the public key of the address is exposed).\n\nAgain, to protect themselves from long exposure attacks bitcoiners only need to avoid reusing addresses, a well known good practice that is even mentioned in the whitepaper. Those who fail to do so can be taught to stop doing it by CRQCs. *Therefore the scope of an emergency quantum protection proposal for Bitcoin is only to thwart **short exposure attacks**.*\n\nWithout further ado:\n\n## BIP-369: Turn off Replace By Fee for transactions spending from quantum-vulnerable address types\n\nRecall that a bit earlier I said that the last step of a short exposure quantum attack is RBFing your legit transactions in the mempool, a familiar operation to most seasoned bitcoiners.\n\nHowever, as convenient as RBF is to bump mining fees when there is congestion it did not exist from the start of Bitcoin, and the network can work without it.\n\nThe implementation of RBF removal is very simple: whenever a node receives a transaction that conflicts with another already in the mempool it discards it right away instead of considering RBF rules for replacement. Conceptually it\u0027s the same as a spam filter.\n\nIf all the honest node operators in the network disabled RBF a quantum attacker would not be able to propagate his replacement transactions, and miners would not pick them for inclusion in their block templates. His only recourse would be to mine the replacement transactions himself with his own hashrate, but even at very high hashpower 99% of the time the legit transactions in the mempool will confirm before the attacker can find any block, such is the nature of mining.\n\nAnother avenue of attack that a quantum computer could try would be running a normal Bitcoin node and try to compute the private keys of new transactions as soon as it sees them and hope to broadcast the replacements faster than the originals. But inherently the original transactions will have a head start and reach most mempools first.\n\nWhile it is not a perfect solution it is very low effort for defenders, and the friction introduced should be enough to incentivize CRQC operators to focus their efforts on long exposure attacks.\n\n![BIP-369 or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Quantum Computer](https:\/\/europeanbitcoiners.com\/content\/images\/2026\/04\/a74648326d15dfe22a14d95631faf44874317f9971d6cbe1e1d263ecf15d25bd_1.jpg)The loss of RBF doesn\u0027t need to be permanent. Once a quantum safe address type is discovered and introduced into the protocol that is not vulnerable to long nor short exposure attacks, Bitcoin nodes could safely reintroduce RBF rules for transactions spending exclusively from these new address types.\n\n## Common Objections\n\n### Disabling RBF is not incentive compatible\n\nA simplistic analysis can reach the conclusion that disabling RBF is not possible in practice because miners will always prefer to confirm transactions paying more fees than those that pay less fees. In fact mining nodes already relaxed their spam filters a decade ago to allow RBF organically!\n\nHowever this happened because RBF was perceived to be all upside and no downside. On a CRQC world, permitting RBF is as bad as mining poison transactions today. And fees earned on a broken network that becomes unusable to everybody are not worth anything anyway.\n\n### A single large pool keeping RBF would make this moot\n\nCurrently 5 mining nodes run by 5 large mining pools find 90% of the blocks. If one or several of these big stakeholders was skeptic about CRQCs and didn\u0027t want to relinquish RBF income this approach would not work in practice.\n\nMost people don\u0027t know this at the time of writing, but the mining node count of the Bitcoin network is starting to decentralize and hashrate markets are starting to develop and mature. In the next 5-10 years mining decentralization will have improved a lot and I don\u0027t expect we\u0027ll have such large points of failure in the mining landscape. It will be \u0022part of the culture\u0022 of Bitcoin to control 0.5 to 10 Ph\/s of hashrate with your own node as the ultimate act of sovereignty that a Bitcoin user can achieve.\n\nIf you don\u0027t believe me or don\u0027t get it, my good friend Pablo found time to explain this in his personal blog. I highly recommend node runners to read [My First Petahash](https:\/\/pablohere.contrapeso.xyz\/writings\/my-first-petahash.html?ref=europeanbitcoiners.com), and to consider looking into the new field of industrial-scale home mining.\n\n### Quantum attackers can still mine\n\nYes, and they will have enough coins from successful long exposure attacks to rent significant quantities of hashrate. But as already explained it\u0027s just simpler and easier to do long exposure attacks. Even once long exposure coins run out and they might want to focus on short exposure theft, finding blocks is much harder than confirming transactions.\n\n### Some L2 protocols depend on RBF\n\nTough luck, the L1 is more important. Offchain protocols should adapt and use alternative techniques such as CPFP, or be quick to adopt quantum-safe address types once they become available.\n\n### Broadcasting very valuable transactions is still risky\n\nAdmittedly, even without widespread RBF it will still be somewhat risky to broadcast very valuable transactions spending thousands of coins.\n\nFor this reason I predict some miners will specialize in mining transactions privately at a premium. Another option will be for interested users to rent the hashrate and mine these transactions privately by themselves.\n\n### It\u0027s still possible to send sats to spent addresses\n\nDisabled RBF protects yourself from quantum attackers replacing your own outgoing transactions. However nothing stops someone from sending sats to an already spent address, and then quantum attackers could spend this UTXO with a CPFP transaction.\n\nBitcoin wallets would need to adapt to this reality by pushing back (or outright refusing) to broadcast transactions that send coins to already spent addresses.\n\nSimilarly if a user has several UTXO to the same address (like e.g. OCEAN mining rewards), wallets should also refuse to spend these UTXO unless they\u0027re spent all at once in the same transaction.\n\n### But this will still crash the price of bitcoin\n\nYes, a lot of people will panic at the first signs of long exposure attacks and get rid of large quantities of bitcoin. However, they will be too panicked to notice that short exposure attacks will still be very rare in practice.\n\nAnd like most bitcoiners, I too like generationally cheap censorship resistant orange coins.\n\n![BIP-369 or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Quantum Computer](https:\/\/europeanbitcoiners.com\/content\/images\/2026\/04\/bc1-2982168813.jpg)## Benefits of quantum computers to the Bitcoin network\n\nWhen we talk about quantum computers in the context of Bitcoin people always focus on the doom and gloom, but there are also benefits. I already mentioned that I consider temporary low fiat price a good thing that I\u0027ll be fully taking advantage of (if or when the time comes).\n\nThere\u0027s also the implicit enforcement of not reusing spent addresses, by threat of theft.\n\nAnother aspect that most people miss is that the UTXO set is not in great shape:\n\n\u003E Tbh I\u0027d be fine with a quantum computer attacking quantum-vulnerable Bitcoin addresses.\n\nIf I had such a computer I\u0027d consolidate all the Taproot UTXOs holding less than 2100 sats and keep the corn as payment for the service of cleaning up the UTXO set.\n\n\u2014 Extractive Ghost of Unhosted Marcellus \ud83d\udc7b (@oomahq) [March 31, 2026](https:\/\/twitter.com\/oomahq\/status\/2039047327915049125?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\u0026ref=europeanbitcoiners.com)\n\n  \n\nAt the time of writing about 50% of the UTXOs in the UTXO set are Taproot leftover dust from the ongoing spam attacks of the last 3 years. A CRQC operator would be able to reclaim all these UTXOs if their owners don\u0027t clean them up by themselves.\n\nThe oldest spamming technique is to send coins to fake bare public keys. These UTXOs are also a burden to the UTXO set and again, a CRQC can turn fake public keys into real public keys by finding their private keys that nobody had ever known.\n\nCleaning up the currently bloated UTXO set would be a boon for node runners, as a smaller UTXO set makes a node lighter on computing resources.\n\n## In conclusion\n\nQuantum computers will be a very useful technology to humanity (if they\u0027re realistic) and Bitcoin will survive the disruption they\u0027ll cause once they\u0027re among us.\n\nIf you\u0027re a Bitcoin noderunner concerned about quantum computing don\u0027t reuse your own addresses, and when the time comes where there are signs of their existence just disable RBF from your node. In the meantime let the mathematicians work on devising quantum-safe signature schemes for as much time as they need.\n\nAlso, realize why the usual suspects want us to lose our minds with the same trite quantum FUD of yesteryear at precisely this point in time:\n\n![BIP-369 or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Quantum Computer](https:\/\/europeanbitcoiners.com\/content\/images\/2026\/04\/HGEsUiXacAA1mok.png)Until next time!","image":"https:\/\/europeanbitcoiners.com\/content\/images\/2026\/04\/memed-io-output.jpeg","pubkey":"e79eacebd45d07ff4e10589fbdd15b8b93a96e33f2dc47ecc3efd8b86d1ba05b","kind":30023,"createdAt":"2026-04-18T15:41:43+00:00","publishedAt":"2026-04-18T15:41:43+00:00","topics":["english","quantum","opinion"],"url":"https:\/\/shoreline.decentnewsroom.com\/mag\/european-bitcoiners-49b249\/cat\/english-5b132f\/d\/bip-369-or-how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-2026-04-18-154143"},{"title":"The Pirate Ship of the Psychopaths","slug":"the-pirate-ship-of-the-psychopaths-2026-04-04-192828","summary":"Vibe Coding the Sovereign Stack","content":"Look at the cover of this text. Really look at it.\n\nRalph Wiggum on a pirate ship. MacBook on his lap. Lightning bolt on the sail. Bitcoin moon rising over what is unmistakably a volcanic island. Code fragments dissolving into the Atlantic like messages in bottles that nobody asked for. The subtitle: *I\u0027m a Developer Now.*\n\nIf this image makes you laugh, you get it. If it makes you feel seen, you might belong on the ship.\n\nApplications for SEC-08 are open. But we\u0027ll get to that.\n\n### The Meme\n\nThere\u0027s a running joke in the Bitcoin community that all Bitcoiners are psychopaths.\n\nThis is slander. We are perfectly well-adjusted individuals who simply enjoy converting grocery prices into sats, explaining Austrian economics to Uber drivers, and running full nodes on hardware that costs more than our furniture.\n\nBut jokes encode truths, and the truth encoded in this one isn\u0027t about psychopathy. It\u0027s about a specific kind of brain. The kind that pulls on a thread and doesn\u0027t stop until the entire sweater is unraveled. The kind that reads one whitepaper and six months later has opinions about Byzantine fault tolerance, the Cantillon effect, and the thermodynamics of proof of work. The kind that looks at the global financial system and thinks: \u0022This is a bug, not a feature.\u0022\n\nThese brains built Bitcoin. They built Lightning. They built Nostr. And someone\u2014whether by genius or by accident\u2014has built them an island.\n\n### The Island\n\nSovereign Engineering. Six weeks. Madeira. Twenty-one builders.\n\nNo company. No investors. No product manager. No Jira. No two-hour meeting that could have been a Nostr DM. Just people, code, and a demo every Friday.\n\nMonday: orientation. Tuesday: talks. Wednesday: workshops. Thursday: build. Friday: demo day. Weekend: walk the levadas, argue about protocol design, stare at the Atlantic, and have the kind of conversations that don\u0027t happen on Zoom.\n\nEvery Friday you stand up and show what you built. Six minutes. Working code. Not slides. Not mockups. Not \u0022we\u0027re still scoping the requirements.\u0022 Code. Running. On screen. In front of the crew.\n\nSEC-05 wrapped last October and it was productive chaos. Localhost maximalists, Routstr, Beacon, ContextVM, noDNS, Paygress, Spotstr\u2014Friday demos ran long because everyone shipped multiple projects. Poncha-fueled evenings produced memes that became real code by morning. The energy was electric.\n\nEarlier cohorts produced Zapstore, Tollgate, Nutzaps, Wikifreedia, Nsite, Blossom, and dozens more. Not hackathon demos that rot on GitHub. Running systems. Freedom tech that people actually use.\n\nNo VCs were harmed in the making of this infrastructure.\n\n### Why It Runs\n\nI haven\u0027t been to Madeira. I don\u0027t know the crew. I\u0027ve listened to the podcast \u0022No solutions\u0022, read the philosophy page, and recognized something in the *architecture*.\n\nThe architecture is optimized for a very specific failure mode of conventional work: the brain that is brilliant in bursts and useless in steady states. The brain that mass produces code on a deadline but can\u0027t fill out a timesheet. The brain that understands cryptographic protocols intuitively but forgot to reply to that email three weeks ago.\n\n**The weekly cycle.** Most jobs run on quarterly timelines. If your brain operates on novelty and urgency, that means eleven weeks of \u0022I should really start this\u0022 followed by one week of \u0022oh god, oh god, oh god.\u0022 Sovereign Engineering compresses this into seven days. Every Monday is a blank page. Every Friday is a reckoning. Some brains only produce their best work at the edge of a deadline. This program puts the edge within permanent reach.\n\n**Demo Day.** Six minutes. Working code. In front of everyone. This is not a status update you can sleepwalk through. This is a performance. And performances activate something that no amount of \u0022please update your Jira ticket!!!\u0022 ever will.\n\n**The walks.** Madeira\u0027s levadas are kilometers of cognitive runway. If you\u0027ve ever solved a problem in the shower, on a run, or while doing the dishes, you know why this works. The program puts walking on the schedule because the best engineering happens away from the screen.\n\n**The filter.** You have to fly to a volcanic island in the Atlantic and commit for six weeks. No salary. This alone eliminates ninety percent of the population. The remaining ten percent are the kind of people who hear \u0022dangerous journey, no salary, safe return doubtful\u0022 and think: \u0022When do we leave?\u0022\n\nPodcast \u0022No solutions\u0022 mentions ADHD. About starting a new project every Monday and demoing it Friday. I think it\u0027s one reason the program ships more working code in six weeks than most companies ship in six months.\n\n### Vibe Coding the Sovereign Stack\n\nThe cover shows Ralph Wiggum writing code on a pirate ship. The water reads `print(ship the prototype)`. That\u0027s not a punchline. That\u0027s a methodology.\n\nVibe coding has kicked down the gate between \u0022real developers\u0022 and everyone else. A philosopher can ship a wallet. A podcast host can prototype a relay. You don\u0027t need a CS degree. You need a problem and the stubbornness to keep prompting until it compiles.\n\nThe Sovereign Engineering website says it in the footer: *Vibed into existence.* The philosophy page adds: *We chase the 80\u201320, knowing that the last 20% can wait until the idea survives first contact with reality.*\n\nThe 80% is where the insight lives. The 20% is where projects go to die. Building a culture around shipping the 80% and iterating in public is not laziness. It\u0027s the only honest way to build when nobody knows what the right answer is yet.\n\nAnd look at what the 80% has produced. Tollgate: WiFi access for sats, no account, no KYC, no permission. Nutzaps: verifiable zaps on Nostr. Zapstore: app distribution without Apple or Google deciding what you\u0027re allowed to install. Wikifreedia: Wikipedia, but on a protocol no one controls. Nsite: web hosting that no government can take down.\n\nThese aren\u0027t demos. These are running systems. Freedom tech. Software that doesn\u0027t ask permission and can\u0027t be deplatformed.\n\n### Poor for Poor\n\nValue for Value. Provide your work for free. Make it easy to give value back. No ads. No paywalls. No rent-seeking middlemen.\n\nThe polished version of this story is that it\u0027s the future of the open web. The honest version\u2014and this framing comes from the community itself\u2014is that it\u0027s poor for poor. People who don\u0027t have much, giving what they can to other people who don\u0027t have much.\n\nThe participants of Sovereign Engineering don\u0027t ship software that generates equity or acquisition offers. They ship software that generates freedom. For everyone. Including people who will never know who built it.\n\nThis is insane by fiat standards. By Bitcoin standards it makes perfect sense. Because this is exactly how Bitcoin itself was built. By pseudonymous individuals who saw something worth building and built it without asking. Without a business plan. Without permission.\n\nPoor for poor. Until the poor turned out to be right and separated money from government control.\n\n### The Monastery on the Sea\n\nThe logo is a pirate ship. But pirates plunder. These people build. Pirates thrive in chaos. These people follow a weekly rhythm with the discipline of monks. Talk\u2192 Build \u2192 Demo. Every week. Six weeks.\n\nThe pirate ship is a monastery.\n\nPeople withdraw from the world. They sacrifice salary, comfort, career momentum. They live together, eat together, walk together. They follow a rhythm. And they do this not because they lack options, but because they\u0027ve asked a different question.\n\nNot: \u0022What maximizes my compensation package?\u0022\n\nBut: \u0022What maximizes my sovereignty?\u0022\n\n### Docker Pull Sovereignty\n\nZoom out.\n\nTollgate provides permissionless internet access. Cashu mints provide private, instant payments\u2014no accounts, no identity, privacy by mathematics. Nostr relays provide censorship-resistant communication. Zapstore distributes apps no one can censor. Blossom stores data no one can delete. Lightning settles. Bitcoin secures.\n\nEach piece is a module. Together they\u0027re an operating system for a sovereign community.\n\nMadeira is `v0.1`. The world\u0027s first containerized sovereign economy. The components are open source. The architecture is modular. The documentation is being written in real time by people who keep showing up on Fridays.\n\nWhen a relay goes down, another fills the gap\u2014because filling gaps is profitable when the network pays in sats. Bitrot isn\u0027t a threat. It\u0027s selection pressure. What survives is stronger. What dies gets replaced.\n\nThe question isn\u0027t whether this can be replicated. The question is who runs `docker pull` next.\n\n### SEC-08: YOLO++\n\nJuly 20 to August 28, 2026. Six weeks of summer in Madeira. Twenty-one builders.\n\nThis one is open exploration.

It is a **structural critique**.\nBecause form shapes content \u2014 and the form of many conferences is surprisingly fiat-like.\n\nIt\u2019s about seeing and being seen.

From Consumer to Participant\n\nAt conferences, you are a consumer:\n\n- you listen\n- you consume content\n- you go home\n\nAt meetups, you are a participant:\n\n- you discuss\n- you challenge ideas\n- you help others with node setups or self-custody\n\nBitcoin is not a product.\nBitcoin is a practice.\n\n## 6.

No rocket.\nJust the quiet return to mathematical truth.\n\n## Fiat mindset in its purest form\n\n12k-Basti is a prime example.\n\nHe truly believes:\n\n\u2022 \u0022Diversified, never regretted.\u0022\n\u2022 \u0022A stock market crash is only short-term\u2014stocks always rise.\u0022\n\u2022 \u0022Cash is trash.\u0022\n\u2022 \u0022Bitcoin stagnates in the long run, just like gold.\u0022\n\u2022 \u0022You should always have the majority of your assets in investments...\u0022\n\nAnd on top of that:\n\n\u003E \u0022I limit my risk \u2014 never more than 5% crypto!\u0022\n\nThat\u0027s like someone saying:\n\n\u003E \u0022I don\u0027t believe in airplanes \u2014\nbut I fly 5% of the year.

They arise at the margins. In workshops, on scrapyards, at glass containers. Where hands are still allowed to grow calloused and work still leaves traces. Where PoW \u2014 real, physical Proof of Work \u2014 is not just a consensus mechanism, but a way of life.\n\nThis story is about two people. We call them the Welder and the Collector.\n\nBoth are invisible architects of a new era. Both are upcycling activists not because it\u2019s trendy, but because it\u2019s necessary. Both belong to that inconspicuous, often ridiculed, sometimes romanticized group the Bitcoin world calls \u201cplebs.\u201d But \u201cpleb\u201d is not a stigma. It is a badge of honor. It describes those who don\u2019t wait for permission. Who simply act.\n\nAnd they make Bitcoin glow.\n\n### The Welder of the Flame\n\nHe works with fire, standing in a workshop where metal smells like old stories. In front of him: discarded oil drums, resting peacefully on the scrapyard. For others it\u2019s just scrap, but for him they are fireproof canvases for eternity.\n\nWith a plasma cutter he etches symbols and his visions into steel. Bitcoin logos and messages for a future we are only just beginning to understand. Sometimes he burns the Anonymous mask into the metal \u2014 a reminder that freedom and privacy are profoundly human rights. Sometimes it\u2019s just words: \u201csome people just want to see central banks burn.\u201d\n\nAnd when the flame dances, cold metal becomes glowing art.\n\nAt night, these burn barrels are more than fireplaces. They are signals. Orange-glowing runes in a world of fiat paper and decaying stores of value. People sit around them, talking, thinking, philosophizing. Simple conversations about difficult things. Energy flows from wood into flame, from flame into people\u2019s eyes.\n\nFire brings Bitcoin into the physical world. Not as an investment vehicle, not as a speculative object, but as a symbol. A sign that value is something real. That energy and labor can merge and materialize in a new form: harder, digital, censorship-resistant.\n\nHe welds art \u2014 but he also welds meaning. He transforms the old into the new. The defective into value. He shows that capital is not just numbers on a screen, but energy, responsibility, creative power.\n\nAnd every time the sparks fly, Bitcoin glows a little brighter.\n\n### The Collector of the Lost\n\nThe second pleb works differently \u2014 he needs no welding torch, no workshop, no audience. He is quiet. Invisible \u2014 overlooked by most. He collects what consumer society carelessly throws away: deposit bottles.\n\nEight cents here. Fifteen cents there. The difference doesn\u2019t matter. Only one thing matters: nothing is lost. No deposit leakage. No value slipping back into the pockets of the big supermarkets.\n\nIt is a silent form of capital recovery. Civilizational alchemy. Lost euros are turned into satoshis \u2014 the smallest units of an incorruptible digital good. What once lay in the street now accumulates in a wallet. Unobtrusive. Steady. Unspectacular.\n\nTen years ago you could get between 220,000 and 670,000 satoshis for one euro. A small backpack full of bottles \u2014 back then maybe just loose change \u2014 would today be a small fortune. No lottery, no luck. Just effort. Just discipline. Just time.\n\nThe collector does not work with flames. He works with patience. With a time preference so low it can hardly be measured. He believes the future is worth more than short-term consumption now. And Bitcoin is his vehicle to manifest that belief.\n\nHe lifts capital off the ground.\n\nAnd feeds it into the timechain.\n\n### Two Paths, One Truth\n\nThey differ greatly \u2014 and yet they mirror the same idea.\n\nThe Welder makes Bitcoin visible.\nThe Collector gives Bitcoin more value.\n\nThe Welder lights flames that gather people. He reminds us that value is something that glows, warms, connects. Something born of energy.\n\nThe Collector reminds us that capital need not be lost \u2014 that it can be recycled, preserved, conserved. That wealth does not arise from risk, but from consistency. From responsibility.\n\nTogether they embody the essence of the Austrian School of economics. Where value is subjective, action intentional, and time preference the decisive variable. While the fiat system devalues time, Bitcoin enforces responsibility. Those who save satoshis gift their future selves resources. Those who waste them rob it.\n\nLudwig von Mises might have said: \u201cEconomics is human action.\u201d And the Welder and the Collector act. They decide. They trade leisure for future. Comfort for freedom. They work with real PoW \u2014 not only on the blockchain, but in life.\n\n### Time Preference \u2014 The Greatest Invisible Force\n\nTime preference means: how much do you favor the present over the future?\n\nFiat money systems raise time preference. Inflation acts like constant dripping on the soul: Spend. Now. Immediately. Tomorrow is worth less. Don\u2019t save. Go into debt. Buy. Consume. Keep spinning on the hedonistic treadmill.\n\nBitcoin reverses that.\n\nBecause Bitcoin is a storage for time.\n\nSatoshis are condensed life energy. They are the result of sweat, mental labor, risk, production, service. And because Bitcoin is hard \u2014 non-dilutable, finite \u2014 time is suddenly re-evaluated. The future gains weight. Long-term thinking becomes rational.\n\nThe Welder\u2019s burn barrels \u2014 they may still exist decades from now. Metal is patient. The flames within them symbolize a fire that will not go out: that of monetary truth.\n\nAnd the Collector\u2019s bottles \u2014 they disappear, yet their essence remains. They are absorbed into the timechain. A global ledger of human labor, sealed by energy, distributed across space and time.\n\nEvery barrel, every bottle is an act of low time preference.\n\nA no to the quick kick.\nA yes to the future.\n\n### Bitcoin as Economic Gravity\n\nIn a free market, good money drives out bad \u2014 not the other way around. People hold hard money and spend soft money. Known as Gresham\u2019s Law \u2014 in its deeper, truer form.\n\nThe Welder creates symbolic centers \u2014 places where conversations begin, value is reconsidered, people grow curious. His burn barrels are like lighthouses in the fog of the fiat age. They remind us that truth burns. That it may be seen.\n\nThe Collector, by contrast, is an invisible black hole for lost capital. He gathers small remnants of the fiat ocean and compresses them into the singularity of the hardest digital capital. Every cent once thrown away becomes part of a global, decentralized vault.\n\nThe Austrian School emphasizes that value is always subjective \u2014 and yet millions of individual valuations produce an emergent market price. Just as the millions who hold satoshis create a price that increasingly reflects the true energy input of the world.\n\nBitcoin forces honesty.\n\nWork for work.\nTime for time.\nValue for value.\n\nNo more.\nNo less.\n\n### Proof of Work \u2014 Beyond Hashrate\n\nThe term \u201cProof of Work\u201d predates Bitcoin. At its core it means: you prove your claim through effort. Through energy. Through commitment.\n\nTheir PoW is not a competition for blocks, but for meaning. They take resources \u2014 old drums, empty bottles \u2014 and transform them. They give them a new path in life.\n\nAnd that path does not end in the trash.\nIt ends in the timechain.\n\nBitcoin shows us that \u201cdigital\u201d does not mean \u201cunreal.\u201d Rather: digital is the highest form of order we\u2019ve yet achieved in the monetary sphere. An order based on energy, not promises. On mathematics, not politics.\n\nWhen the Welder fires up his plasma cutter and sparks fly, he feels: energy is real.\nWhen the Collector feeds his bottles into the machine, he feels: responsibility is real.\n\nBoth convert that reality into satoshis.\n\nThe hardest capital of the 21st century.\n\n### The Invisible Heroes of Hyperbitcoinization\n\nHyperbitcoinization will not be triggered by hedge funds.\nNot by ETFs.\nNot by governments.\n\nBut by millions of inconspicuous people who lower their time preference and act every day as if there is a future worth striving for.\n\nThe plebs are not a mob.\nThey are the vanguard of a new economy.\n\nThey are archetypes.\n\nThe Artist.\nThe Collector.\n\nThe extrovert.\nThe introvert.\n\nBoth say: I do not trust words. I trust work. I trust energy. I trust a system that belongs to no one \u2014 and yet serves everyone.\n\nBitcoin does not just glow orange.\nIt glows human.\n\n### The Glowing Green\n\nThe Collector often jokes: \u201cAt the end of the day, the daily Bitcoin candle glows a little green.\u201d Not in the ecological marketing sense of the old world, but in the deep economic sense:\n\nValue that would have been wasted finds a purpose.\n\nIt is a silent capital flow. Not noticeable, not really measurable, not spectacular \u2014 and yet real. It changes nothing in the global price structure \u2014 and yet changes everything inside a person. Because those who save take responsibility for their future selves. And from that arises culture. Ethos. Dignity.\n\nBitcoin is not just hard money.\nBitcoin is a moral technology.\n\n### A Backpack Full of Satoshis\n\nTen years ago, a small backpack full of bottles would have yielded two, maybe three euros. And a single euro would buy 220,000 to 670,000 satoshis. Back then just a meager hourly wage \u2014 today more than some lawyers earn.\n\nThis is not romanticization.\nIt is a reminder.\n\nThat time works.\nThat consistency compounds.\nThat small decisions carry the greatest meaning.\n\n### The Barrels and the Timechain\n\nAt the end of this text stand two images:\n\nA barrel into which symbols have been burned. It stands somewhere in the night. People gather around it. Children gaze into the flame. Words arise, thoughts circle. Bitcoin glows.\n\nAnd a simple person picking up a bottle. Then another. And another. Not out of need. Out of responsibility. Out of principle. He feeds them into the machine. And the timechain breathes them in.\n\nBoth express the same truth:\n\nValue arises from work.\nThe future arises from low time preference.\nAnd Bitcoin is the monetary mirror of this insight.\n\nThe plebs do not just make Bitcoin glow.\n\nThey teach us what it means to be human again \u2014 to act, to think, to be responsible \u2014 in a world that had grown too accustomed to lies.\n\nAnd perhaps that is the true spark that makes Bitcoin glow.\n\n\u26a1If you liked the content of the article, I would be happy to receive a few Satoshi on a value-for-value basis: **ethicalhalibut38@walletofsatoshi.com**\n\n[Follow @EuropeanBTC21](https:\/\/twitter.com\/europeanbtc21?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\u0026ref=europeanbitcoiners.com)","image":"https:\/\/europeanbitcoiners.com\/content\/images\/2025\/12\/burnbarrel-1.png","pubkey":"e79eacebd45d07ff4e10589fbdd15b8b93a96e33f2dc47ecc3efd8b86d1ba05b","kind":30023,"createdAt":"2025-12-28T11:36:00+00:00","publishedAt":"2025-12-28T11:36:00+00:00","topics":["plebs","originals","artist","freedom","hyperbitcoinization","english","level:novice","read:medium","topic:philosophy","topic:basics","topic:hyperbitcoinization"],"url":"https:\/\/shoreline.decentnewsroom.com\/mag\/european-bitcoiners-49b249\/cat\/english-5b132f\/d\/the-plebs-who-make-bitcoin-shine-2025-12-28-113600"}]},{"slug":"deutsch-acae85","title":"Deutsch","summary":"Artikel auf Deutsch","image":null,"url":"https:\/\/shoreline.decentnewsroom.com\/mag\/european-bitcoiners-49b249\/cat\/deutsch-acae85","articleCount":4,"articles":[{"title":"Quo vadis, M\u00fcnzweg?","slug":"quo-vadis-munzweg-2026-04-06-074753","summary":"Eine Hommage, eine Satire und ein Gebet \u2014 zum (fast) f\u00fcnften Geburtstag des besten Podcasts, den niemand seinen Freunden empfiehlt.","content":"Es gibt Podcasts, die informieren. Es gibt Podcasts, die unterhalten. Und dann gibt es den M\u00fcnzweg.\n\n336 Folgen. F\u00fcnf Jahre. Zwei Hosts, ein Dauergast und ein Troll, der nie eingeladen wurde. Was 2021 als kleiner Bitcoin-Podcast begann \u2014 zwei Typen, ein Mikrofon, eine Idee \u2014 ist heute eine deutsche Institution des organisierten Chaos. Der M\u00fcnzweg ist nicht der gr\u00f6\u00dfte Bitcoin-Podcast. Er ist nicht der professionellste. Er ist nicht der technisch tiefste. Aber er ist der *ehrlichste*. Und genau das macht ihn unverzichtbar \u2014 und unertr\u00e4glich \u2014 zugleich.\n\nDieser Essay ist eine Hommage. Aber auch eine Intervention. Denn irgendwo zwischen Folge 1 und Folge 222 hat der M\u00fcnzweg etwas verloren \u2014 und etwas gewonnen, das er nie wollte. Und in der Telegram-Gruppe lauert ein Mann mit einem Screenshot, der alles zusammenfasst, was falsch l\u00e4uft.\n\nAber der Reihe nach.\n\n## I. Die Anf\u00e4nge: Als der Weg noch klar war\n\nDer M\u00fcnzweg startete 2021. Manu und Marcus. Zwei Stimmen, eine Richtung: Bitcoin.\n\nDie ersten Folgen hatten die Energie, die jeder Bitcoiner kennt \u2014 den Rausch der Entdeckung. Alles war neu. Alles war aufregend. Jede Folge ein Rabbit Hole. Jede Debatte ein Erkenntnisgewinn. Die H\u00f6rer wurden Plebs, die Plebs wurden Community, und die Community wurde Familie. \u201eM\u00fcnzweg Family\u0022, so steht es bis heute in der Telegram-Gruppe.\n\nMarcus, der Bodenst\u00e4ndige. Der Mann, der Fragen stellt, die sich die H\u00f6rer nicht trauen zu stellen. Der Mann, der zugibt, wenn er etwas nicht versteht \u2014 und damit mehr Authentizit\u00e4t erzeugt als jeder polierte Finanz-Podcast. Marcus ist der Anker. War der Anker.\n\nManu, der Vision\u00e4r. P2P-Maximalist. Privacy-Prediger. Node-Betreiber. CoinJoin-Verfechter. Manu war der Motor. Der Mann, der den M\u00fcnzweg zum *Bitcoin-Podcast* gemacht hat, nicht zum Krypto-Podcast. Der Mann, der vier Jahre lang bei jedem Dip \u201eGeschenk\u0022 gesagt hat und es auch so gemeint hat. Der Mann, der Basti nicht rausgeworfen hat, als die halbe Gruppe es gefordert hat \u2014 aus Prinzip, aus \u00dcberzeugung, weil er glaubte, dass Bitcoin jeden Gegenwind aush\u00e4lt.\n\n## II. Die Besetzung: Ein Ensemble, das keiner gecastet hat\n\n### Marcus \u2014 Der erk\u00e4ltete Anker\n\nMarcus ist der Typ, der immer da ist. Au\u00dfer wenn er krank ist - und auch dann zieht er meistens durch.\n\nFolge #222, die aktuellste. Titel: \u201eBitcoin vs Satoshis (mit Robin Linus)\u0022. Erste Zeile der Beschreibung: *\u201eMarcus ist krank.\u0022*\n\nMarcus hat Grippe im Winter, Allergie im Fr\u00fchling, Sonnenstich im Sommer und im Herbst \u201eirgendwas mit dem R\u00fccken\u0022. Seinen DCA-Sparplan hat er \u00f6fter pausiert als ausgef\u00fchrt \u2014 aus gesundheitlichen Gr\u00fcnden, versteht sich. Wenn Bitcoin pumpt, ist Marcus beim Arzt. Wenn Bitcoin dumpt, ist Marcus beim Arzt. Wenn Bitcoin seitw\u00e4rts geht, hat Marcus \u201ewas mit dem Magen\u0022 und kann nicht auf den Chart schauen.\n\nSein Cold Storage ist so kalt, dass selbst seine Seed Phrase Erk\u00e4ltungssymptome zeigt.\n\nUnd das Ironische \u2014 die echte, tiefe Ironie: Marcus ist vermutlich der Erfolgreichste im ganzen M\u00fcnzweg-Universum. Nicht weil er schlau ist. Nicht weil er den Markt versteht. Sondern weil er zu erk\u00e4ltet ist, um zu verkaufen.\n\nDiamond Hands durch Nasenspray. Die st\u00e4rkste HODL-Strategie basiert nicht auf Spieltheorie, sondern auf Krankenstand. Marcus kann nicht in Panik verkaufen, weil er die Hardwarewallet aus dem Bett nicht erreicht. Er kann nicht FOMO-kaufen, weil er beim Allergologen sitzt. Er kann nicht overtraden, weil ihm vom Bildschirm schlecht wird.\n\nDie Stoiker wussten das*.* Halte aus und halte dich zur\u00fcck. Marcus h\u00e4lt aus \u2014 im Wartezimmer. Und h\u00e4lt sich zur\u00fcck \u2014 weil ihm die Kraft fehlt, den Sell-Button zu dr\u00fccken.\n\nF\u00fcnf Staffeln M\u00fcnzweg. Und der mit der Erk\u00e4ltung gewinnt.\n\n### Manu \u2014 Der gefallene Bulle\n\nManu ist das interessanteste Kapitel. Und das wichtigste.\n\nDenn Manu *versteht* Bitcoin. Wirklich versteht. P2P. Privacy. Kein KYC. Kein Custodian. Kein Bullshit. Manu hat RoboSats benutzt, bevor du wusstest, wie man es buchstabiert. Er betreibt seine eigene Node - nein, sogar mehrere. Er misstraut allem, was einen CEO hat. Er routet Bisq-Trades \u00fcber Tor und h\u00e4lt 40-min\u00fctige Vortr\u00e4ge \u00fcber den P2P Kauf.\n\nManu war Dauerbulle. Fels in der Brandung. Der Mann, der bei $16k nicht gezuckt hat. Unersch\u00fctterlich. Jahre lang.\n\nUnd dann kam Michael Saylor.\n\nSaylor kauft. Saylor hebelt. Saylor geht auf CNBC. Saylor bringt die Anzugtr\u00e4ger, die ETFs, die Institutionen, die Compliance-Abteilungen \u2014 das ganze verdammte Fiat-System, direkt rein in Manus heiligen P2P-Tempel.\n\nUnd irgendwann letztes Jahr ist Manus Sentiment gekippt.\n\nNicht weil er nicht mehr an Bitcoin glaubt. Sondern weil er nicht mehr an *dieses* Bitcoin glaubt. Manus Bitcoin war leise, subversiv, gef\u00e4hrlich. Saylors Bitcoin ist laut, institutionell, b\u00f6rsennotiert.\n\nManu sieht ETF-Zufl\u00fcsse und denkt nicht \u201eAdoption\u0022. Er denkt: **Vereinnahmung.**\n\nIn Folge #218 hei\u00dft es: *\u201eWir haben uns komplett verloren.\u0022* In Folge #220: *\u201eNew Kids on the Big Block\u0022* \u2014 Manu schwingt \u201edie ganz gro\u00dfe Bitcoin-Keule\u0022 und fragt sich selbst, ob er sich unbeliebt gemacht hat. In Folge #219: *\u201eMarcus ist weiter b\u00e4risch und Manu hat eine neue Weltverschw\u00f6rung am Start.\u0022*\n\nDie Folgentitel erz\u00e4hlen die Geschichte einer Radikalisierung in Echtzeit.\n\nUnd dann schreibt Manu in die Telegram-Gruppe:\n\n\u003E \u201eIch habe meine pers\u00f6nlichen Ziele hier schon l\u00e4ngst erreicht. Nicht Bitcoin ver\u00e4ndern, sondern Bitcoin Aufmerksamkeit zu schenken. Diskurs und harte Debatten, ich liebe das.\u0022\n\nManu, wenn deine Ziele erreicht sind \u2014 warum kippt dann deine These, sobald Adoption nicht P2P aussieht? Sobald der lauteste K\u00e4ufer nicht \u00fcber Bisq kauft, sondern \u00fcber Coinbase?\n\nDein echtes Argument \u2014 das Argument, das die Community *braucht* \u2014 ist nicht \u201eSaylor ist schlecht\u0022. Dein echtes Argument ist, dass die ETF-Welle Bitcoin in ein \u00fcberwachtes, KYC-pflichtiges, reguliertes Instrument verwandeln k\u00f6nnte, bei dem 90% der Holder ihre Keys nicht haben. *Das* ist eine legitime Sorge. Eine wichtige Sorge.\n\nAber du verpackst sie in Saylor Kritik und gibst Basti ein Flammenherz. Und damit verlierst du das Argument \u2014 weil niemand es mehr f\u00fcr wahr h\u00e4lt, wenn der Privacy-Maximalist und der Siegel-Chart-Troll pl\u00f6tzlich dieselbe Sprache sprechen.\n\nDer alte Manu h\u00e4tte vielleicht gesagt: \u201eSaylor kauft? Gut. Mehr Nachfrage, gleiche 21 Millionen. Das Protokoll ist indifferent. N\u00e4chster Block.\u0022\n\nBitcoin ist nicht leise oder laut. Bitcoin ist Mathematik. 21 Millionen kennen keinen Saylor. Der Mempool kennt kein CNBC. Und der Konsens fragt nicht, ob dir das Profilbild des gr\u00f6\u00dften Holders gef\u00e4llt.\n\nMarc Aurel schrieb: *\u201eDie Dinge selbst ber\u00fchren die Seele nicht im Geringsten.\u0022* Saylor hat keinen Zugang zum Protokoll. Er kauft Bitcoin. Er *ist* nicht Bitcoin. Und das Protokoll ist indifferent gegen\u00fcber seinen K\u00e4ufern \u2014 so wie die Schwerkraft indifferent ist gegen\u00fcber dem, was f\u00e4llt.\n\n### Robin Linus \u2014 Der falsch Abgebogene\n\nRobin ist der technische Gast. Und Robin ist brilliant. Das ist das Problem.\n\nDie Fakten: Robin hat BitVM erfunden \u2014 2023 als Whitepaper ver\u00f6ffentlicht, inzwischen bei BitVM3 angekommen, mit dem Bitcoin Research Prize 2025 ausgezeichnet, entwickelt unter dem Dach der ZeroSync-Nonprofit, finanziert von Spiral, Starkware und OpenSats. Die BitVM Alliance umfasst zehn Teams \u2014 von Citrea \u00fcber Babylon bis Alpen Labs. Robin h\u00e4lt Vorlesungen an der Stanford University. Das ist nicht \u201eich hab eine Lightning Node aufgesetzt.\u0022 Das ist: ich habe ein Berechnungsparadigma f\u00fcr Turing-vollst\u00e4ndige Bitcoin-Contracts geschaffen, das *keine Konsens\u00e4nderungen* erfordert.\n\nUnd genau hier liegt der Widerspruch.\n\nBitVM funktioniert *ohne* \u00c4nderungen am Protokoll. Das ist sein Geniestreich. Es verifiziert Berechnungen auf Bitcoin, statt sie auszuf\u00fchren \u2014 \u00e4hnlich wie Optimistic Rollups. Es erm\u00f6glicht trustless Bridges zu Second Layers, Sidechains, Rollups. Es ist, wie Robin selbst sagt, das Fundament f\u00fcr einen \u201efreien Markt von Second Layers, der Bitcoin auf Milliarden Nutzer skalieren kann.\u0022\n\nEin freier Markt von Second Layers. Auf dem bestehenden Protokoll. Ohne Konsens\u00e4nderung.\n\nUnd dann geht Robin auf den M\u00fcnzweg \u2014 M\u00fcnzgasse #66, #67, M\u00fcnzweg #222, drei Auftritte in vier Wochen \u2014 und argumentiert f\u00fcr gr\u00f6\u00dfere Bl\u00f6cke auf L1.\n\nSeine These ist nicht plump. Robin ist kein Roger Ver. Robin argumentiert spezifisch: Im Lightning Whitepaper wird kalkuliert, dass f\u00fcr globale Adoption \u2014 alle Menschen, alle Channels, alle On-Chain-Settlements \u2014 deutlich gr\u00f6\u00dfere Bl\u00f6cke n\u00f6tig w\u00e4ren, damit Lightning *\u00fcberhaupt* skaliert. Dazu kommt sein Argument zum Security-Budget: Wenn die Block-Subvention durch Halvings gegen Null geht, m\u00fcssen Transaktionsgeb\u00fchren die Miner bezahlen. Und wenn der Blockspace zu klein ist f\u00fcr genug Transaktionen, stirbt langfristig die Sicherheit des Netzwerks.\n\n\u003E \u201eIm Lightning Whitepaper steht, dass wir circa 100-MB-Bl\u00f6cke brauchen, damit Lightning skalieren kann.\u0022 \u201eValidieren kannst du doch auch noch bei 100 MB Bl\u00f6cken. Brauchst nur nen Mac Mini f\u00fcr 700\u20ac, ne Standard-Internetleitung, und ne Woche Zeit.\u0022 \u201eAber diese Anforderung \u00fcber Tor zu syncen impliziert unweigerlich, dass Bitcoin nicht skalieren kann. So war das nicht gedacht.\u0022\n\nUnd hier muss man sauber trennen: Robins *Diagnose* ist teilweise korrekt. Das Security-Budget ist eine reale Frage. Die Skalierung von Lightning hat reale Grenzen. Das sind ernsthafte technische Diskussionen.\n\nAber seine *Therapie* \u2014 gr\u00f6\u00dfere Bl\u00f6cke \u2014 widerspricht seiner eigenen Lebensarbeit.\n\n100 Megabyte Bl\u00f6cke. Pro zehn Minuten. Das sind 14,4 Gigabyte am Tag. 5,2 Terabyte im Jahr. Ein Mac Mini f\u00fcr 700\u20ac und eine Woche Sync-Zeit klingt machbar \u2014 f\u00fcr jemanden in Deutschland mit Glasfaser. F\u00fcr einen Bauer in El Salvador auf einem Raspberry Pi f\u00fcr 50\u20ac? Vergiss es. Privacy-Node \u00fcber Tor? Vergiss es doppelt.\n\nUnd das ist der Kern: Bitcoin ist das einzige Geldsystem der Menschheitsgeschichte, das *jeder* verifizieren kann. Nicht jeder mit einem Mac Mini. *Jeder.* Wenn dein Skalierungsmodell impliziert, dass Privacy-Nodes \u00fcber Tor nicht mehr mitspielen k\u00f6nnen, dann skalierst du nicht Bitcoin \u2014 du baust ein effizienteres PayPal.\n\nDie tiefere Ironie: Robin hat mit BitVM *bewiesen*, dass man auf L2 bauen kann, ohne L1 anzufassen. Sein eigenes Projekt \u2014 Turing-vollst\u00e4ndige Contracts, trustless Bridges, Rollups \u2014 funktioniert *weil* der Basisblock klein ist, *weil* die Validierung billig bleibt, *weil* jeder Raspberry Pi eine Full Node sein kann. BitVM ist das eleganteste Argument *gegen* gr\u00f6\u00dfere Bl\u00f6cke \u2014 und Robin hat es selbst geschrieben.\n\nSogar Vitalik Buterin \u2014 kein Bitcoin-Maximalist \u2014 hat 2024 \u00f6ffentlich einger\u00e4umt, dass die Small-Blocker die Blocksize-Wars aus gutem Grund gewonnen haben. Mit ZK-Proofs und BitVM-artigen L\u00f6sungen, so Buterin, wird die Blocksize-Debatte zunehmend irrelevant, weil alles auf Bitcoin gebaut werden kann, ohne L1 zu ver\u00e4ndern. Wenn sogar der Gr\u00fcnder der Konkurrenz das anerkennt, sollte Robins eigene Erfindung ihn erst recht \u00fcberzeugen.\n\nDas Security-Budget-Problem? Ja, es ist real. Aber die Antwort ist nicht \u201egr\u00f6\u00dfere Bl\u00f6cke\u0022, sondern \u201ewertvollerer Blockspace\u0022. Wenn Bitcoin das Weltreserveasset wird, wird jeder Satoshi an Geb\u00fchren in einem 1-MB-Block mehr wert sein als jede Fee in einem 100-MB-Block einer zweitklassigen Kette wie BSV. Die Knappheit des Blockspace *ist* das Feature, nicht der Bug.\n\nDas ist keine Dummheit. Das ist Ego. Die kl\u00fcgsten K\u00f6pfe scheitern nicht an der Technik \u2014 sie scheitern daran, dass sie glauben, der Konsens m\u00fcsse sich ihrem Verst\u00e4ndnis anpassen, statt umgekehrt.\n\n### Basti \u2014 Der ungebetene Gast und sein heiliger Siegel-Chart\n\nUnd dann ist da Basti.\n\n12k-Basti. Nie eingeladen. Nie Gast. Nie Host. Einfach *da.* Wie Fu\u00dfpilz. Wie der Typ auf der Party, den niemand kennt, der aber am lautesten lacht. Wie eine Push-Benachrichtigung, die du nicht abbestellen kannst. Wie Inflation \u2014 ungebeten, aber hartn\u00e4ckig.\n\nBasti ist nicht im M\u00fcnzweg-Podcast. Basti ist in der Telegram-Gruppe. Ungefiltert. Ungebremst. Ungefragt. Manu hat ihn nicht rausgeworfen, als die halbe Gruppe es gefordert hat. Leute sind deshalb gegangen. Manu hat sie ziehen lassen \u2014 aus Prinzip.\n\nUnd was macht Basti mit dieser Gnade?\n\nEr postet den Siegel-Chart.\n\nJeremy Siegel. *Stocks for the Long Run.* $1 investiert in Aktien, 1801. Ergebnis: $2.334.920. Dazu tippt Basti, mit der Gelassenheit eines Mannes, der seine Depot-App noch nie im B\u00e4renmarkt ge\u00f6ffnet hat:\n\n\u003E \u201eBreit gestreut, nie bereut. Bitcoin ist Spielgeld.\u0022\n\nSezieren wir das.\n\n**Der Vampir-Trade.** Wer hat 1801 den US-Aktienmarkt gekauft? Niemand. Die NYSE handelte f\u00fcnf Wertpapiere, drei davon Staatsanleihen. Bastis Trade braucht: keine Geb\u00fchren, keine Steuern, keinen Krieg, keinen Broker der pleitegeht \u2014 und 220 Jahre Lebenszeit. Das ist kein Investor. Das ist ein Vampir mit Bloomberg-Terminal.\n\n**Der Lottogewinner.** Der Chart zeigt *einen* Aktienmarkt \u2014 den amerikanischen. Gewinner zweier Weltkriege, Besitzer der Reservew\u00e4hrung. Was er nicht zeigt: Russische B\u00f6rse 1917 \u2014 Totalverlust. Deutsche B\u00f6rse 1945 \u2014 Totalverlust. Shanghai 1949 \u2014 geschlossen. Japan, Nikkei 225 \u2014 im Februar 2024, nach 34 Jahren, endlich das nominale ATH von 1989 gebrochen. Die annualisierte Gesamtrendite seit dem Peak: 1,1%, ausschlie\u00dflich aus Dividenden. Im gleichen Zeitraum machte der Dow Jones ein 14x. In Gold gerechnet steht der Nikkei bei einem F\u00fcnftel seines 1989er-Wertes. ATH durch 11 Jahre Zentralbank-Intervention unter Abenomics. Basti nennt das \u201eder Markt funktioniert\u0022. Siegel zeigt den Lottogewinner und sagt: \u201eLotto lohnt sich.\u0022\n\n**Die ehrlichste Linie.** Bastis eigener Chart hat eine Linie, die alles verr\u00e4t. Ganz unten. US Dollar: $1 \u2192 $0,043. Minus 95,7 Prozent. Der Ma\u00dfstab hat 96% seiner Funktion verloren \u2014 und Basti misst fr\u00f6hlich weiter. Das ist, als w\u00fcrdest du mit einem Zollstock messen, der jedes Jahr k\u00fcrzer wird, und dann sagen: \u201eWahnsinn, mein Haus w\u00e4chst!\u0022 Die 6,9% reale Aktienrendite sind keine Belohnung \u2014 sie sind Schadensbegrenzung gegen organisierten W\u00e4hrungsverfall.\n\nUnd selbst die 6,9% \u201ereal\u0022 \u2014 bereinigt mit dem CPI, berechnet vom Bureau of Labor Statistics, einer Beh\u00f6rde der US-Regierung. Der Schuldner berechnet die Inflationsrate, an die seine eigenen Zinszahlungen gekoppelt sind. Hedonische Adjustierung: Dein Auto kostet $10.000 mehr, hat aber eine R\u00fcckfahrkamera, also ist es \u201ebilliger\u0022. Substitutionseffekt: Rindfleisch zu teuer? Du isst jetzt H\u00fchnchen. Gratulation, keine Inflation.\n\n**\u201eBreit gestreut, nie bereut.\u0022** 5.000 verschiedene Anspr\u00fcche auf zuk\u00fcnftige Fiat-Cashflows, denominiert in einer W\u00e4hrung mit eingebautem Verfallsdatum. Das sind 5.000 Deckst\u00fchle auf der Titanic. 1929: 25 Jahre unter Wasser. Dot-Com 2000: 13 Jahre break-even. Japan: 34 Jahre. Nie bereut? \n\nUnd Bitcoin? Annualisierte Rendite seit 2010: dreistellig. In *jedem* rollierenden 4-Jahres-Fenster hat Bitcoin jede Assetklasse geschlagen. Aber Basti sagt: \u201eVergangenheitsperformance ist kein Indikator.\u0022 Sagt er \u00fcber 15 Jahre Bitcoin. Sagt er nie \u00fcber 220 Jahre Siegel-Chart. **Doppelstandard** ist das Wort. Aber Basti kennt nur **Doppelbesteuerung.**\n\n## III. Das Bullshit-Asymmetrie-Prinzip \u2014 Oder: Warum Basti gewinnt\n\nEs gibt ein Gesetz, das den M\u00fcnzweg besser erkl\u00e4rt als jede Marktanalyse. Es hei\u00dft das Bullshit-Asymmetrie-Prinzip, formuliert 2013 vom Programmierer Alberto Brandolini:\n\n\u003E *\u201eThe amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it.\u0022*\n\nAuf Deutsch: Die Energie, die n\u00f6tig ist, um Unsinn zu widerlegen, ist eine Gr\u00f6\u00dfenordnung h\u00f6her als die Energie, die n\u00f6tig war, um ihn zu produzieren.\n\nBasti postet den Siegel-Chart. Dauert: 3 Sekunden. Ein Screenshot. Ein Spruch. Fertig.\n\nDie Widerlegung? Die hast du gerade gelesen. Survivorship Bias, CPI-Manipulation, Nikkei-34-Jahre, Dollar-Kaufkraft, historische Drawdowns, Gold als Strohmann. Das dauert Stunden. Recherche, Fakten, Kontext, Nuance.\n\nUnd am Ende? Basti postet den n\u00e4chsten Screenshot.\n\nDas ist der Kern des Problems \u2014 nicht nur im M\u00fcnzweg, sondern im gesamten Bitcoin-Diskurs. Ein einziger Satz wie \u201eBitcoin ist Spielgeld\u0022 oder \u201eBreit gestreut, nie bereut\u0022 hat mehr virale Kraft als jede fundierte Gegenanalyse. Nicht weil der Satz richtig ist. Sondern weil er *einfach* ist.\n\nEinfachheit gewinnt gegen Wahrheit. Immer. Au\u00dfer auf langen Zeitskalen.\n\nUnd genau *das* ist Bitcoins unfairer Vorteil. Bitcoin muss nicht gegen jeden Siegel-Chart argumentieren. Bitcoin muss nur existieren. Block f\u00fcr Block. Alle zehn Minuten. Die Wahrheit hat keine Eile. Sie hat nur Bl\u00f6cke.\n\nBasti ist das Bullshit-Asymmetrie-Prinzip in Menschenform. Die Gruppe, der ganze M\u00fcnzweg \u2014 verbraucht Unmengen an Energie, um gegen Screenshots und seine Buffett B\u00f6rsenweisheiten zu argumentieren.\n\nDie stoische Antwort w\u00e4re: Lass es. *Ta ouk eph\u0027 h\u0113min.* Bastis Meinung liegt nicht in deiner Macht. Was in deiner Macht liegt: der n\u00e4chste DCA. Die n\u00e4chste Folge. Der n\u00e4chste Block.\n\nDiskurs mit einem Troll ist wie Schach spielen mit einer Taube \u2014 sie wirft die Figuren um, schei\u00dft aufs Brett, und stolziert davon, als h\u00e4tte sie gewonnen.\n\n## IV. Die unheilige Allianz\n\nUnd dann passiert es.\n\nIn der Telegram-Gruppe. Ein ganz normaler Dienstag.\n\nBasti postet:\n\n\u003E \u201eDu hast den Punkt vergessen, dass er ein Betr\u00fcger ist. Lieber irrelevant als Betr\u00fcger.\u0022\n\nGemeint ist Saylor.\n\nUnd Manu \u2014 P2P-Manu, Privacy-Manu, Kein-KYC-Manu \u2014 gibt ein \u2764\ufe0f\u200d\ud83d\udd25.\n\nEin Herz. Mit Flammen. F\u00fcr Basti.\n\nDer Moment, in dem der Cypherpunk und der Aktien-Bro sich in die Arme fallen, weil sie denselben Mann hassen \u2014 aus komplett verschiedenen Gr\u00fcnden. Manu hasst Saylor, weil er Bitcoin institutionalisiert. Basti hasst Saylor, weil er Bitcoin validiert \u2014 und damit Bastis gesamtes Weltbild bedroht.\n\nManu denkt: *\u201eEndlich versteht jemand meine Sorge um die Dezentralisierung!\u0022* Basti denkt: *\u201eSiehst du, sogar die Bitcoiner sagen, es ist Betrug!\u0022*\n\nKeiner korrigiert den anderen. Das \u2764\ufe0f\u200d\ud83d\udd25 brennt. Und der Konsens im M\u00fcnzweg war noch nie so skurril anzusehen wie in diesem einen Emoji.\n\nUnd Basti? Basti screenshottet das \u2764\ufe0f\u200d\ud83d\udd25. Beweisst\u00fcck A.\n\n\u003E \u201eSogar Manu gibt mir Recht. Und der ist Maxi.\u0022\n\nNein, Basti. Manu gibt dir kein Recht. Er gibt dir ein Emoji, weil ihr beide Saylor hasst. Das ist kein Konsens. Das ist eine Trag\u00f6die mit Flammenherz.\n\n## V. Ostern auf der Blockchain\n\nUnd jetzt \u2014 weil es gerade Ostern ist, und weil Bitcoin gerade bei ~$67k liegt, 47% unter dem ATH von $126k \u2014 die Analogie, die der M\u00fcnzweg verdient.\n\nBitcoin ist gestorben. Mal wieder.\n\nBasti hat die Grabrede gehalten. Ungebeten, wie alles von Basti. Siegel-Chart auf den Sarg gelegt. \u201eSpielgeld\u0022, hat er gemurmelt. Robin hat die Trauerfeier nicht besucht \u2014 er hat ausgerechnet, ob der Sarg in einen 100-MB-Block passt. Marcus war erk\u00e4ltet.\n\nAber wir kennen das Skript.\n\n2011: Kreuzigung bei $32. Auferstehung: $1.100. 2014: Kreuzigung bei $1.100. Auferstehung: $20.000. 2018: Kreuzigung bei $20.000. Auferstehung: $69.000. 2022: Kreuzigung bei $69.000. Auferstehung: $126.000. 2026: Kreuzigung bei $126.000. Auferstehung: ?\n\nOstern auf der Blockchain. Bitcoinobituaries.com z\u00e4hlt schon \u00fcber 470 Todeserkl\u00e4rungen. \n\n## VI. Der Spiegel \u2014 Selbstironie als letzte Verteidigung\n\nUnd jetzt \u2014 Hand aufs Herz.\n\nWir sind alle ein bisschen M\u00fcnzweg.\n\nJeder von uns hat einen inneren Marcus, der zu erk\u00e4ltet ist, um den DCA durchzuziehen. Einen inneren Manu, der findet, dass Adoption *so* nicht aussehen sollte. Einen inneren Robin, der glaubt, er w\u00fcsste es besser als der Konsens. Und ja \u2014 einen inneren Basti, der manchmal, sp\u00e4t nachts, leise denkt: \u201eIst das nicht doch alles ein bisschen verr\u00fcckt?\u0022\n\nDer Unterschied ist: wir lassen den inneren Basti nicht ans Keyboard.\n\nBitcoin ist ein Spiegel. Es zeigt dir nicht den Preis. Es zeigt dir *dich.* Deine Geduld. Deine \u00dcberzeugung. Deine F\u00e4higkeit, zwischen Signal und Noise zu unterscheiden.\n\nMarcus hat Angst vor der eigenen Gesundheit \u2014 und h\u00e4lt trotzdem. Er h\u00e4lt, weil er zu m\u00fcde ist, um zu verkaufen. Und manchmal ist m\u00fcde besser als \u00fcberzeugt. Denn \u00dcberzeugung wankt. M\u00fcdigkeit nicht.\n\nManu hat Angst vor dem Kontrollverlust durch Institutionen und der KYC H\u00f6lle \u2014 und betreibt trotzdem seine Node. Er sieht, was er nicht sehen will: dass Bitcoin gr\u00f6\u00dfer wird als seine Vision. Und dass das okay ist. Weil Bitcoin nie *seine* Vision war. Es war immer nur Mathematik und Code.\n\nRobin baut auf einem Protokoll, das seine \u00c4nderungsvorschl\u00e4ge zu gr\u00f6\u00dferen Bl\u00f6cken kategorisch ablehnt. Und vielleicht ist das die tiefste Form von Respekt: etwas zu erweitern, das sich weigert, sich f\u00fcr dich zu ver\u00e4ndern.\n\nBasti hat Angst vor Bitcoin \u2014 und postet trotzdem jeden Tag in die Gruppe. Er kann nicht aufh\u00f6ren. Kein Mensch, der wirklich glaubt, Bitcoin sei Spielgeld, verbringt seine Abende in einer Bitcoin-Telegram-Gruppe - oder zwanzig wie er sagt. Basti trollt nicht *gegen* Bitcoin. Er umkreist es \u2014 wie eine Motte, die das Licht hasst, aber nicht aufh\u00f6ren kann, es anzustarren.\n\n## VII. Was ich tue \u2014 und was der M\u00fcnzweg tun k\u00f6nnte\n\nIch stacke weiter. Leise. Stur.\n\nBei $120k gestackt. Bei $67k gestackt. Werde bei $50k stacken, wenn es soweit kommt. Und bei $200k. Mein DCA kennt keinen Saylor-Hass, keine 100-MB-Debatten, keine Siegel-Charts und keine Erk\u00e4ltungspausen. Mein DCA kennt nur den n\u00e4chsten Gang zum ATM um das Fiat endlich loszuwerden.\n\nDas ist keine Arroganz. Das ist Stoizismus. *Amor fati.* Liebe das Schicksal. Auch wenn es aussieht wie ein B\u00e4renmarkt. Auch wenn Manu b\u00e4risch wird. Auch wenn Robin die Bl\u00f6cke aufblasen will. Auch wenn Basti den Siegel-Chart postet.\n\nUnd der M\u00fcnzweg? Was k\u00f6nnte der M\u00fcnzweg sein, wenn er zu seinen Wurzeln zur\u00fcckkehrt?\n\nNicht ein Podcast, der den Preis st\u00e4ndig bewertet - bullisch oder b\u00e4risch. Sondern einer, der das voranschreiten des Protokolls erkl\u00e4rt. Nicht ein Podcast, der Personalities bewertet \u2014 Saylor gut, Saylor schlecht \u2014 sondern einer, der die Spieltheorie versteht: dass Saylor *irrelevant* ist, weil 21 Millionen egal ist, wer kauft. Nicht ein Podcast, der b\u00e4risch wird, weil die Community sich ver\u00e4ndert \u2014 sondern einer, der versteht, dass die Community sich *immer* ver\u00e4ndert, aber der Code nicht.\n\n336 Folgen sind kein Zufall. Das ist Ausdauer. Das ist Commitment. Das ist \u2014 bei aller Kritik \u2014 beeindruckend.\n\nAber 336 Folgen sind auch eine Verantwortung. Denn es gibt Leute, die den M\u00fcnzweg h\u00f6ren und denken: \u201eWenn selbst Manu und Marcus b\u00e4risch sind, dann muss es schlimm sein.\u0022 Es gibt Leute, die Folge #222 h\u00f6ren, in der Marcus krank ist und Robin 100-MB-Bl\u00f6cke fordert, und denken: \u201eVielleicht hat Basti Recht.\u0022\n\nUnd das ist der Moment, in dem das Bullshit-Asymmetrie-Prinzip zuschl\u00e4gt. Ein b\u00e4rischer Manu in Folge 220 braucht drei Sekunden, um Unsicherheit zu s\u00e4en. Aber es braucht Folgen, Monate, Zyklen, um das Vertrauen wieder aufzubauen.\n\n## VIII. Quo vadis?\n\nQuo vadis, M\u00fcnzweg?\n\nWohin gehst du?\n\nMarcus ist erk\u00e4ltet. Manu sucht \u201enach den Fehlern bei Bitcoin\u0022 \u2014 so steht es in der Beschreibung der neuesten Folge. Robin will gr\u00f6\u00dfere Bl\u00f6cke. Und Basti wartet in der Telegram-Gruppe mit dem n\u00e4chsten Screenshot und Aktienshill.\n\nAber irgendwo \u2014 hinter den Debatten, hinter den Erk\u00e4ltungen, hinter den Flammenherzen \u2014 tickt das Protokoll. Indifferent. Unbestechlich. Alle zehn Minuten.\n\nDie Frage \u201eQuo vadis?\u0022 hat eine ber\u00fchmte Antwort. In der christlichen Tradition fragt Petrus den auferstandenen Christus auf der Flucht aus Rom: \u201eHerr, wohin gehst du?\u0022 Und Christus antwortet: \u201eIch gehe nach Rom, um mich erneut kreuzigen zu lassen.\u0022\n\nPetrus versteht. Er kehrt um. Er stellt sich der Sache. Nicht weil es leicht ist. Sondern weil Weglaufen keine Option ist.\n\nBitcoin geht auch nach Rom. Immer wieder. Es l\u00e4sst sich kreuzigen \u2014 bei $32, bei $1.100, bei $20.000, bei $69.000, bei $126.000. Und jedes Mal steht er wieder auf.\n\nDie Frage ist nicht, ob Bitcoin aufersteht. Die Frage ist, ob der M\u00fcnzweg dabei ist, wenn es passiert. Oder ob Manu noch auf der Flucht ist \u2014 weg vom Saylor-Rom, rein in Bastis Arme.\n\n**Ein Ostergebet f\u00fcr den M\u00fcnzweg**\n\nM\u00f6ge Marcus gesund werden \u2014 aber nicht so gesund, dass er anf\u00e4ngt zu traden.\n\nM\u00f6ge Manu sich erinnern, dass das Protokoll st\u00e4rker ist als jeder CEO, und dass 21 Millionen keine Meinung brauchen, um wahr zu sein.\n\nM\u00f6ge Robin erkennen, dass sein Geniestreich \u2014 BitVM \u2014 der sch\u00f6nste Beweis ist, dass kleine Bl\u00f6cke reichen.\n\nM\u00f6ge Basti eines Tages den unteren Rand seines eigenen Charts lesen. Die Zeile mit $0,043. Und verstehen, was sie bedeutet.\n\nUnd m\u00f6gen wir alle \u2014 Plebs, Maxis, Erk\u00e4ltete und Trolle \u2014 die Geduld aufbringen, die der n\u00e4chste Zyklus verlangt. Nicht die Geduld des Marktes. Die Geduld des Protokolls.\n\nDenn es gibt eine Auferstehung, die keine Kirche braucht. Nur Mathematik. Nur Konsens. Nur Zeit.\n\nBlock f\u00fcr Block. Alle zehn Minuten. Seit Genesis.\n\nFrohe Ostern.\n\n\u26a1**Vielen Dank f\u00fcr deine Aufmerksamkeit!**\n\n**ethicalhalibut38@walletofsatoshi.com**","image":"https:\/\/europeanbitcoiners.com\/content\/images\/2026\/04\/66c61dcc-a877-43ef-bc21-f0069d926a14.png","pubkey":"e79eacebd45d07ff4e10589fbdd15b8b93a96e33f2dc47ecc3efd8b86d1ba05b","kind":30023,"createdAt":"2026-04-06T07:47:53+00:00","publishedAt":"2026-04-06T07:47:53+00:00","topics":["m\u00fcnzweg","level:advanced"],"url":"https:\/\/shoreline.decentnewsroom.com\/mag\/european-bitcoiners-49b249\/cat\/deutsch-acae85\/d\/quo-vadis-munzweg-2026-04-06-074753"},{"title":"Die 21-Millionen-Theorie: Oder wie Satoshi Nakamoto sich mit Kinderriegeln die monet\u00e4re Ordnung der Welt ausdachte","slug":"die-21-millionen-theorie-oder-wie-satoshi-nakamoto-2026-01-20-190835","summary":"Bitcoin ist kein System f\u00fcr Kinder.

Mathematiker von der Summierung \u00fcber alle Blockzeiten. Manche denken, dass 21 halt die H\u00e4lfte von 42 ist.\n\nDoch die wahre Erkl\u00e4rung wurde bislang systematisch unterdr\u00fcckt.\n\nDenn was, wenn Satoshi Nakamoto im Jahr 2008 nicht von Hayek, Mises oder SHA-256 inspiriert wurde \u2013 sondern von **einer Million Kinderriegeln \u00e0 21 Gramm**?\n\n### **Kapitel 1: Die Snack-Hypothese**\n\nBeginnen wir mit den Fakten.\n\nEin Kinderriegel wiegt **21 Gramm**. Ein Bitcoin besteht aus **100.000.000 Satoshis**. Und Satoshi Nakamoto verschwand spurlos \u2013 so wie ein Vorrat an Schokolade in einer WG mit Physikstudenten.\n\nZufall? Oder *Proof of Snack*?\n\nStellen wir uns den Moment vor:\n\n\u003E Satoshi, allein in einem dunklen Raum. Der Laptop summt. Der Genesis Block ist fast fertig. Neben ihm: ein leerer Karton Kinderriegel. Aufdruck: **\u201e10 \u00d7 21 g\u201c**.\n\nPl\u00f6tzlich die Erkenntnis.\n\nNicht 20 Millionen. Nicht 42 Millionen (zu offensichtlich). Nicht 69 Millionen (zu pubert\u00e4r).\n\n**21 Millionen.** Perfekt. Elegant. Verdauungsoptimiert.\n\n### **Kapitel 2: Kalorien als monet\u00e4re Einheit**\n\nWas kaum jemand bedenkt: Bitcoin ist kein rein digitales System.\n\nBitcoin ist ein **Energiesystem**.\n\nMining = Strom Strom = Kalorien Kalorien = Nahrung Nahrung = Kinderriegel\n\nWenn man es streng genug denkt, ist Bitcoin nichts anderes als **kristallisierte Snackenergie in Form von Hashes**.\n\nEin Kinderriegel hat ca. **110 kcal**. Eine Million davon: **110 Millionen kcal**.\n\nDas reicht:\n\n- um einen Menschen mehrere Jahre zu ern\u00e4hren\n- oder um eine Zivilisation durch Hyperinflation zu retten\n- oder um einen Entwickler dazu zu bringen, **niemals wieder Fiatgeld anzufassen**\n\nDie 21 Millionen sind also kein \u00f6konomischer Wert \u2013 sie sind ein **metabolisches Limit**.\n\nMehr h\u00e4lt der K\u00f6rper nicht aus. Mehr h\u00e4tte Satoshi nicht \u00fcberlebt.\n\n### **Kapitel 3: Die Psychologie der runden Unrundheit**\n\nWarum nicht 20 Millionen?\n\nWeil **20 Millionen nach Zentralbank riechen**. Rund. Bequem. Politisch anpassbar und sch\u00f6n in Form gebracht.\n\n21 Millionen hingegen sind:\n\n- leicht unbequem\n- schlecht zu merken\n- perfekt geeignet, um Journalisten zu verwirren\n\n21 Millionen sind die Zahl, bei der jeder fragt:\n\n\u003E \u201eWarum eigentlich 21?\u201c\n\nUnd genau das ist der Punkt.\n\nSatoshi wusste: Ein System, das **keine offensichtliche Erkl\u00e4rung** hat, kann **nicht einfach ge\u00e4ndert werden**.\n\n\u201eWir erh\u00f6hen das Supply auf 23 Millionen\u201c klingt l\u00e4cherlich.\n\n\u201eWir erh\u00f6hen das Supply auf 60 Billionen\u201c klingt nach EZB.\n\n### **Kapitel 4: Die Million, die nie ausgegeben wurde**\n\nSatoshi besitzt ungef\u00e4hr **1 Million Bitcoin**. Das wei\u00df jeder.\n\nWas weniger bekannt ist: Das ist exakt die Anzahl an Kinderriegeln, die man ben\u00f6tigt, um w\u00e4hrend der Bitcoin-Entwicklung:\n\n- das Haus nicht zu verlassen\n- soziale Kontakte zu vermeiden\n- und s\u00e4mtliche Fiat-W\u00e4hrungen der Welt zu ignorieren\n\nDiese Coins wurden nie bewegt.\n\nNicht aus Moral. Nicht aus Altruismus.\n\nSondern weil **nach einer Million Kinderriegeln niemand mehr Lust hat, etwas zu bewegen**.\n\nAbsolute Stilllegung. Proof of Diabetes. Cold Storage \u2013 im wahrsten Sinne.\n\n### **Kapitel 5: Numerologie f\u00fcr Fortgeschrittene**\n\n21 ist nicht irgendeine Zahl.\n\n21 = 3 \u00d7 7 Drei: die kleinste soziale Gruppe Sieben: die Anzahl der Tage, die man braucht, um Fiat endg\u00fcltig zu durchschauen\n\n21 ist das Alter, in dem man:\n\n- Vertr\u00e4ge unterschreiben darf\n- Schulden machen darf\n- und theoretisch alt genug ist, um zu verstehen, warum man Bitcoin h\u00e4tte fr\u00fcher kaufen sollen\n\n21 ist die Zahl der Reife.\n\nBitcoin ist kein System f\u00fcr Kinder. Aber offenbar inspiriert von Kinderschokolade.\n\n### **Kapitel 6: Die eigentliche Wahrheit**\n\nNat\u00fcrlich ist all das Unsinn.\n\nOder?\n\nVielleicht ist die wahre Genialit\u00e4t von Satoshi genau das: Ein System zu bauen, das **gleichzeitig**:\n\n- mathematisch sauber\n- \u00f6konomisch stringent\n- und v\u00f6llig meme-f\u00e4hig ist\n\nEin System, bei dem man nicht wei\u00df, ob die Begrenzung aus:\n\n- tiefer \u00f6konomischer Einsicht\n- elegantem Code\n- oder einem Zuckerschock um 3 Uhr morgens entstand\n\nBitcoin funktioniert **unabh\u00e4ngig davon**.\n\nUnd genau deshalb funktioniert es \u00fcberhaupt.\n\n### **Epilog: Die letzte Theorie**\n\nVielleicht hat Satoshi die 21 Millionen gew\u00e4hlt, weil **alles andere egal ist**.\n\nWeil der Wert nicht in der Zahl liegt, sondern in der Tatsache, dass sie **nicht verhandelbar ist**.\n\nOb Kinderriegel, Blockzeiten oder kosmische Ironie \u2013 21 Millionen sind 21 Millionen.\n\nUnd w\u00e4hrend Zentralbanken neue Zahlen erfinden, sitzt Bitcoin da, isst still seinen Riegel und sagt:\n\n\u003E \u201eSorry.

Sie entstehen am Rand. In Werkst\u00e4tten, auf Schrottpl\u00e4tzen, an Glascontainern. Dort, wo H\u00e4nde noch schwielig werden d\u00fcrfen und Arbeit noch Spuren hinterl\u00e4sst. Dort, wo PoW \u2013 echter, physischer Proof of Work \u2013 nicht nur ein Konsensmechanismus ist, sondern eine Lebenseinstellung.\n\nDiese Geschichte handelt von zwei Menschen. Wir nennen sie den [Schwei\u00dfer](https:\/\/t.me\/RGsbarrels?ref=europeanbitcoiners.com) und den Sammler.\n\nBeide sind unsichtbare Architekten eines neuen Zeitalters. Beide sind Upcycling-Aktivisten nicht, weil es im Trend liegt, sondern weil es notwendig ist. Beide sind Teil jener unscheinbaren, oft bel\u00e4chelten, manchmal romantisierten Gruppe, die die Bitcoin-Welt \u201ePlebs\u201c nennt. Doch \u201ePleb\u201c ist kein Makel. Es ist ein Ehrenzeichen. Es beschreibt jene, die nicht auf Erlaubnis warten. Die einfach tun.\n\nUnd sie bringen Bitcoin zum Leuchten.\n\n### **Der Schwei\u00dfer der Flamme**\n\nEr arbeitet mit Feuer und steht in einer Werkstatt, in der Metall riecht wie alte Geschichten. Vor ihm: ausrangierte \u00d6lf\u00e4sser, friedlich auf dem Schrottplatz stehend. F\u00fcr andere ist es nur Altmetall, f\u00fcr ihn feuerfeste Leinw\u00e4nde f\u00fcr die Ewigkeit.\n\nMit einem Plasmaschneider ritzt er Symbole und seine Visionen in Stahl. Bitcoin-Logos und Botschaften an eine Zukunft, die wir gerade erst beginnen zu verstehen. Manchmal brennt er die Anonymous-Maske hinein \u2014 als Erinnerung daran, dass Freiheit und Privatsph\u00e4re ein zutiefst menschliches Recht ist. Manchmal sind es nur Worte \u0022einige Menschen wollen einfach nur die Zentralbanken in Feuer aufgehen sehen\u0022.\n\nUnd wenn die Flamme tanzt, verwandelt sich kaltes Metall in leuchtende Kunst.\n\nBei Nacht sind diese Brennf\u00e4sser mehr als Feuerstellen. Sie sind Signale. Orange gl\u00fchende Runen in einer Welt aus Fiat-Papier und zerfallender Wertaufbewahrung. Menschen sitzen darum, reden, denken, philosophieren. Einfache Gespr\u00e4che \u00fcber schwierige Dinge. Energie str\u00f6mt vom Holz in die Flamme, von der Flamme in die Augen der Menschen.\n\nFeuer holt Bitcoin in die physische Welt. Nicht als Investmentvehikel, nicht als Spekulationsobjekt, sondern als Symbol. Als Zeichen, dass Wert etwas Reales ist. Dass Energie und Arbeit zusammenflie\u00dfen und sich in einer neuen Form materialisieren k\u00f6nnen: h\u00e4rter, digital, zensurresistent.\n\nEr schwei\u00dft Kunst \u2013 aber er schwei\u00dft auch Bedeutung. Er transformiert Altes in Neues. Defektes in Wert. Er zeigt, dass Kapital nicht nur Zahlen auf einem Bildschirm sind, sondern Energie, Verantwortung, Gestaltungskraft.\n\nUnd jedes Mal, wenn die Funken fliegen, leuchtet Bitcoin ein kleines St\u00fcck heller.\n\n### **Der Sammler des Verlorenen**\n\nDer zweite Pleb arbeitet anders, er braucht kein Schwei\u00dfger\u00e4t, keine Werkstatt, kein Publikum. Er ist leise. Unsichtbar - von den meisten \u00fcbersehen. Er sammelt, was die Konsumgesellschaft achtlos wegwirft: Pfandflaschen.\n\nAcht Cent hier. F\u00fcnfzehn Cent dort. Der Unterschied spielt keine Rolle. Wichtig ist nur eines: nichts geht verloren. Kein Pfandschlupf. Kein Wert entgleitet zur\u00fcck in die Taschen der gro\u00dfen Superm\u00e4rkte.\n\nEs ist eine stille Form von Kapitalr\u00fcckgewinnung. Zivilisatorische Alchemie. Verlorene Euros werden in Satoshis verwandelt \u2014 kleinste Einheiten eines unverf\u00e4lschbaren, digitalen Gutes. Was fr\u00fcher in der Stra\u00dfe lag, stapelt sich nun in einem Wallet. Unauff\u00e4llig. Best\u00e4ndig. Unspektakul\u00e4r.\n\nVor zehn Jahren bekam man f\u00fcr einen Euro zwischen 220.000 und 670.000 Satoshis. Ein kleiner Rucksack voll Flaschen \u2013 damals vielleicht nur Kleingeld \u2013 w\u00e4re heute ein kleines Verm\u00f6gen. Kein Lotto, kein Gl\u00fcck. Nur Flei\u00df. Nur Disziplin. Nur Zeit.\n\nDer Sammler arbeitet nicht mit Flammen. Er arbeitet mit Geduld. Mit einer Zeitpr\u00e4ferenz, die so niedrig ist, dass sie sich kaum noch messen l\u00e4sst. Er glaubt daran, dass die Zukunft mehr Wert hat als der kurzfristige Konsum im Jetzt. Und Bitcoin ist sein Vehikel, diese \u00dcberzeugung zu manifestieren.\n\nEr hebt Kapital vom Boden auf.\n\nUnd speist es in die Timechain ein.\n\n### **Zwei Wege, eine Wahrheit**\n\nBeide unterscheiden sich stark \u2013 und doch sind sie Spiegel derselben Idee.\n\nDer Schwei\u00dfer macht Bitcoin sichtbar.\nDer Sammler gibt Bitcoin mehr Wert.\n\nDer Schwei\u00dfer entz\u00fcndet Flammen, die Menschen versammeln. Er erinnert uns daran, dass Wert etwas ist, das gl\u00fcht, w\u00e4rmt, verbindet. Etwas, das aus Energie entsteht.\n\nDer Sammler erinnert uns daran, dass Kapital nicht verloren gehen muss \u2014 dass es recycelt, bewahrt, konserviert werden kann. Dass Wohlstand nicht aus Risiko entsteht, sondern aus Konsequenz. Aus Verantwortung.\n\nGemeinsam verk\u00f6rpern sie die Essenz der \u00d6sterreichischen Schule der National\u00f6konomie. Dort, wo Wert subjektiv ist, Handlung intentional, und Zeitpr\u00e4ferenz die entscheidende Variable. W\u00e4hrend das Fiat-System Zeit entwertet, zwingt Bitcoin zur Verantwortung. Wer Satoshis spart, schenkt seinem zuk\u00fcnftigen Ich Ressourcen. Wer sie verschwendet, beraubt es.\n\nLudwig von Mises h\u00e4tte vielleicht gesagt: \u201eWirtschaft ist menschliches Handeln.\u201c Und der Schwei\u00dfer und der Sammler handeln. Sie entscheiden. Sie tauschen Freizeit gegen Zukunft. Komfort gegen Freiheit. Sie arbeiten mit echtem PoW \u2014 nicht nur in der Blockchain, sondern im Leben.\n\n### **Zeitpr\u00e4ferenz \u2014 die gr\u00f6\u00dfte unsichtbare Kraft**\n\nZeitpr\u00e4ferenz bedeutet: wie sehr ziehst du Gegenwart der Zukunft vor?\n\nFiat-Geldsysteme erh\u00f6hen die Zeitpr\u00e4ferenz. Inflation wirkt wie ein st\u00e4ndiges Tropfen auf die Seele: *Gib aus. Jetzt. Sofort. Morgen ist weniger wert.* Spare nicht. Verschulde dich. Kaufe. Konsumiere. Drehe dich weiter auf dem Hamsterrad der Hedonik.\n\nBitcoin kehrt das um.\n\nDenn Bitcoin ist ein Speicher f\u00fcr Zeit.\n\nSatoshis sind kondensierte Lebensenergie. Sie sind das Resultat aus Schwei\u00df, Gedankenarbeit, Risiko, Produktion, Dienstleistung. Und weil Bitcoin hart ist \u2014 unverw\u00e4sserbar, endlich \u2014 wird Zeit pl\u00f6tzlich neu bewertet. Zukunft bekommt Gewicht. Langfristigkeit wird rational.\n\nDie Brennf\u00e4sser  des Schwei\u00dfers\u2014 sie k\u00f6nnten noch viele Jahrzehnte existieren. Metall ist geduldig. Die Flammen, die darin lodern, sind ein Symbol f\u00fcr ein Feuer, das nicht mehr erlischt: jenes der monet\u00e4ren Wahrheit.\n\nUnd die Pfandflaschen des Sammlers \u2014 sie verschwinden zwar, doch ihre Essenz bleibt. Sie werden eingesaugt von der Timechain. Ein globales Verzeichnis menschlicher Arbeit, versiegelt durch Energie, verteilt \u00fcber Raum und Zeit.\n\nJedes Fass, jede Flasche ist ein Akt niedriger Zeitpr\u00e4ferenz.\n\nEin Nein zum schnellen Kick.\nEin Ja zur Zukunft.\n\n### **Bitcoin als \u00f6konomische Gravitation**\n\nIn einem freien Markt verdr\u00e4ngt gutes Geld schlechtes Geld \u2014 nicht umgekehrt. Menschen halten hartes Geld und geben weiches aus. Bekannt als Greshams Gesetz \u2014 in seiner tieferen, realeren Form.\n\nDer Schwei\u00dfer erschafft symbolische Zentren \u2014 Orte, an denen Gespr\u00e4che beginnen, Wert neu gedacht wird, Menschen neugierig werden. Seine Brennf\u00e4sser sind wie Leuchtt\u00fcrme im Nebel des Fiat-Zeitalters. Sie erinnern daran, dass Wahrheit brennt. Dass sie sichtbar sein darf.\n\nDer Sammler hingegen ist ein unsichtbares Schwarzes Loch f\u00fcr verlorenes Kapital. Er sammelt kleine Reste des Fiat-Ozeans und verdichtet sie in der Singularit\u00e4t des h\u00e4rtesten digitalen Kapitals. Jeder Cent, der einmal weggeworfen war, wird Teil eines globalen, dezentralen Tresors.\n\nDie \u00f6sterreichische Schule betont, dass Wert immer subjektiv ist \u2014 und doch f\u00fchren Millionen individueller Bewertungen zu einem emergenten Marktpreis. So wie die Millionen Menschen, die Satoshis halten, zu einem Preis f\u00fchren, der immer mehr den wahren Energieeinsatz der Welt widerspiegelt.\n\nBitcoin zwingt zur Ehrlichkeit.\n\nArbeit gegen Arbeit.\nZeit gegen Zeit.\nWert gegen Wert.\n\nNicht mehr.\nNicht weniger.\n\n### **Proof of Work \u2014 jenseits der Hashrate**\n\nDer Begriff \u0022Proof of Work\u0022 ist \u00e4lter als Bitcoin. Er bedeutet im Kern: du beweist deinen Anspruch durch Aufwand. Durch Energie. Durch Einsatz.\n\nIhr PoW ist kein Wettbewerb um Bl\u00f6cke, sondern um Bedeutung. Sie nehmen Ressourcen \u2014 alte Tonnen, leere Flaschen \u2014 und transformieren sie. Sie geben ihnen einen neuen Lebenspfad.\n\nUnd dieser Pfad endet nicht im M\u00fcll.\nSondern in der Timechain.\n\nBitcoin zeigt uns, dass \u201edigital\u201c nicht \u201eunwirklich\u201c bedeutet. Sondern: digital ist die **h\u00f6chste Form von Ordnung**, die wir bisher in der monet\u00e4ren Sph\u00e4re erreicht haben. Eine Ordnung, die auf Energie basiert, nicht auf Versprechen. Auf Mathematik, nicht auf Politik.\n\nWenn der Schwei\u00dfer seinen Plasmaschneider entz\u00fcndet und Funken spr\u00fchen, sp\u00fcrt er: Energie ist real.\nWenn der Sammler seine Flaschen in den Automaten schiebt, sp\u00fcrt er: Verantwortung ist real.\n\nBeide \u00fcberf\u00fchren diese Realit\u00e4t in Satoshis.\n\nDas h\u00e4rteste Kapital des 21. Jahrhunderts.\n\n### **Die unsichtbaren Helden der Hyperbitcoinisierung**\n\nHyperbitcoinisierung wird nicht von Hedgefonds ausgel\u00f6st.\nNicht von ETFs.\nNicht von Regierungen.\n\nSondern von Millionen unscheinbarer Menschen, die ihre Zeitpr\u00e4ferenz senken und jeden Tag handeln, als g\u00e4be es eine Zukunft, die es wert ist.\n\nDie Plebs sind kein Mob.\nSie sind die Vorfront einer neuen \u00d6konomie.\n\nSie sind Archetypen.\n\nDer K\u00fcnstler.\nDer Sammler.\n\nDer extrovertierte.\nDer introvertierte.\n\nBeide sagen: Ich vertraue nicht auf Worte. Ich vertraue auf Arbeit. Ich vertraue auf Energie. Ich vertraue auf ein System, das niemandem geh\u00f6rt \u2014 und doch allen dient.\n\nBitcoin leuchtet nicht nur orange.\nEs leuchtet menschlich.\n\n### **Das leuchtende Gr\u00fcn**\n\nDer Sammler sagt oft scherzhaft: \u201eAm Ende des Tages leuchtet die t\u00e4gliche Bitcoinkerze ein kleines St\u00fcck gr\u00fcn.\u201c Nicht im \u00f6kologischen Marketing-Sinn der alten Welt, sondern im tiefen, \u00f6konomischen Sinn:\n\n**Wert, der verschwendet worden w\u00e4re, findet einen Zweck.**\n\nEs ist ein stiller Kapitalfluss. Nicht sp\u00fcrbar, nicht wirklich messbar, nicht spektakul\u00e4r \u2014 und doch real. Er ver\u00e4ndert nichts am globalen Preisgef\u00fcge \u2014 und ver\u00e4ndert doch alles im Inneren eines Menschen. Denn wer spart, \u00fcbernimmt Verantwortung f\u00fcr sein zuk\u00fcnftiges Ich. Und daraus entsteht Kultur. Ethos. W\u00fcrde.\n\nBitcoin ist nicht nur hartes Geld.\nBitcoin ist eine moralische Technologie.\n\n### **Rucksack voller Satoshis**\n\nVor zehn Jahren h\u00e4tte ein kleiner Rucksack voller Flaschen zwei, vielleicht drei Euro gebracht. Und ein einzelner Euro h\u00e4tte 220.000 bis 670.000 Satoshis gekauft. Damals nur ein mickriger Stundenlohn - heute mehr als so mancher Anwalt.\n\nDas ist keine Romantisierung.\nEs ist eine Erinnerung.\n\nDass Zeit wirkt.\nDass Konsequenz sich aufsummiert.\nDass kleine Entscheidungen die gr\u00f6\u00dfte Bedeutung tragen.\n\n### **Die F\u00e4sser und die Timechain**\n\nAm Ende dieses Textes stehen zwei Bilder:\n\nEin Fass, in das Symbole gebrannt sind. Es steht irgendwo in der Nacht. Menschen sitzen darum. Kinder schauen in die Flamme. Worte entstehen, Gedanken kreisen. Bitcoin leuchtet.\n\nUnd ein einfacher Mensch, der eine Flasche aufhebt. Dann noch eine. Und noch eine. Nicht aus Not. Aus Verantwortung. Aus Prinzip. Er wirft sie in den Automaten. Und die Timechain atmet sie ein.\n\nBeides ist Ausdruck derselben Wahrheit:\n\n**Wert entsteht durch Arbeit.\nZukunft entsteht durch niedrige Zeitpr\u00e4ferenz.\nUnd Bitcoin ist der monet\u00e4re Spiegel dieser Einsicht.**\n\nDie Plebs bringen Bitcoin nicht nur zum Leuchten.\n\nSie bringen uns bei, was es bedeutet, wieder Mensch zu sein \u2014 zu handeln, zu denken, verantwortlich zu sein \u2014 in einer Welt, die sich zu lange an L\u00fcgen gew\u00f6hnt hatte.\n\nUnd vielleicht ist genau das der wahre Funke der Bitcoin zum Leuchten bringt.\n\n\u26a1Wenn dir der Inhalt des Artikels gefallen hat, w\u00fcrde ich mich \u00fcber ein paar Satoshi auf Value for Value Basis freuen: **ethicalhalibut38@walletofsatoshi.com**","image":"https:\/\/europeanbitcoiners.com\/content\/images\/2025\/12\/burnbarrel.png","pubkey":"e79eacebd45d07ff4e10589fbdd15b8b93a96e33f2dc47ecc3efd8b86d1ba05b","kind":30023,"createdAt":"2025-12-28T11:20:18+00:00","publishedAt":"2025-12-28T11:20:18+00:00","topics":["plebs","originals","artist","freedom","hyperbitcoinization","deutsch","level:novice","read:medium","topic:philosophy","topic:basics","topic:hyperbitcoinization"],"url":"https:\/\/shoreline.decentnewsroom.com\/mag\/european-bitcoiners-49b249\/cat\/deutsch-acae85\/d\/die-plebs-die-bitcoin-zum-leuchten-bringen-2025-12-28-112018"}]},{"slug":"sloven-ina-174cb9","title":"Sloven\u0161\u010dina","summary":"\u010clanki v sloven\u0161\u010dini","image":null,"url":"https:\/\/shoreline.decentnewsroom.com\/mag\/european-bitcoiners-49b249\/cat\/sloven-ina-174cb9","articleCount":6,"articles":[{"title":"Inflacija: tihi ropar na\u0161ega dela in zakaj bogati postajajo \u0161e bogatej\u0161i","slug":"inflacija-tihi-ropar-nasega-dela-in-zakaj-bogati-p-2026-05-29-165240","summary":"Veliko ljudi ima ob\u010dutek, da danes delajo ve\u010d kot kadarkoli prej, vendar si kljub temu te\u017eje privo\u0161\u010dijo stanovanje, hrano, dopust ali varno prihodnost.

Inflacija dejansko pomeni, da na\u0161 denar izgublja svojo vrednost. To pomeni, da na\u0161e delo skozi \u010das postaja manj vredno, \u010de svojega denarja ne znamo pravilno za\u0161\u010dititi. Dobesedno na\u0161 \u010das v preteklosti postaja ni\u010dvreden.\n\nIn prav tukaj nastane najve\u010dji problem sodobne dru\u017ebe:\nBogati razumejo, kako za\u0161\u010dititi in pove\u010dati svoje premo\u017eenje, ve\u010dina ljudi pa tega znanja nima.

To je klju\u010dno in tega se je potrebno zavedati.\n\n### Kako nastane inflacija?\n\nEden najve\u010djih razlogov je tiskanje novega denarja. Ko dr\u017eave ali centralne banke ustvarjajo nov denar, se koli\u010dina denarja v sistemu pove\u010da. Toda koli\u010dina dobrin, stanovanj, hrane in energije ne raste tako hitro.

O\u010ditno zadnja leta ali desetletja Sloveniji to uspeva relativno slabo oziroma ji sploh ne. Saj vidimo, da smo v zadnjih nekaj letih kar nekaj burekov z jogurtom v minusu.\n\nInflacija ni le \u0161e ena ekonomska \u0161tevilka v poro\u010dilu; je splo\u0161na rast cen dobrin in storitev, ki konkretno zmanj\u0161uje kupno mo\u010d na\u0161ega denarja. Ko se inflacija dvigne, se cene vsakodnevnih stvari \u2013 hrane, goriva, energentov, stanovanj\u2026. povi\u0161ajo, kar vpliva na popolnoma na vse cene, od jutranje kave, kruha, hrane do posledi\u010dno celotnega mese\u010dnega dru\u017einskega prora\u010duna. Kaj je glavni razlog? Pogosto gre za neravnovesje v monetarnem svetu: preveliko ponudbo denarja v obtoku v primerjavi z razpolo\u017eljivimi dobrinami. Predstavljajte si reko denarja, ki se razlije. \u010ce je tega denarja ob\u010dutno preve\u010d, se cene prilagodijo navzgor, da absorbirajo ta umetno ustvarjen denarni prese\u017eek.\n\nTo spro\u017ei motnje v oskrbovalnih verigah (pomislite na pandemijo COVID-19 ali vojne, ki so podra\u017eile energente, uni\u010dile dobavne verige, poskrbele za dalj\u0161e dobavne roke surovin in izdelkov), posledi\u010dno podra\u017ei vse izdelke, tako nujne kot luksuzne.

Rezultat? Delavci z ni\u017ejimi pla\u010dami in prihodki \u010dutijo najve\u010dji pritisk: njihova pla\u010da kupi manj, kar vodi v slab\u0161anje \u017ee tako slabega \u017eivljenjskega standarda. \u010ce se cene hrane povi\u0161ajo za 20 %, pla\u010de pa le za 7 %, je to kot da bi vam nekdo iz va\u0161e denarnice na skrivaj vzel del zaslu\u017eka \u2013 spirala rev\u0161\u010dine se za\u010dne vrteti in hitro se zavrti tako hitro, da jo je nemogo\u010de ustaviti.\n\nPovezava med tiskanjem denarja in inflacijo je kot nevidna veriga, ki neenakomerno porazdeli bole\u010dino med tiste, ki se s to bole\u010dino \u017ee ubadajo in jim jo le pove\u010da. Kljub temu, da navzven izgleda kot da re\u0161ujejo najranljivej\u0161e, so ti najbolj na udaru. Kljub temu da jih je najve\u010d, se najte\u017eje uprejo, saj ne vidijo realne slike, poleg tega pa se zaradi vsakodnevnega boja za pre\u017eivetje, tudi te\u017eko organizirajo. Ko centralne banke, kot sta Evropska centralna banka ali ameri\u0161ki Federal Reserve, \u0022tiskajo\u0022 nov denar \u2013 pogosto prek kvantitativnega spro\u0161\u010danja ali nakupov obveznic \u2013 se koli\u010dina denarja v gospodarstvu nenormalno pove\u010da. \u010ce gospodarstvo ne raste dovolj hitro(in ponavadi ne), to vodi do inflacije. Ampak nov denar ne dose\u017ee vseh hkrati. Po teoriji Cantillonovega efekta (imenovan po ekonomistu Richardu Cantillonu) prvi do tega \u0022sve\u017eega\u0022 denarja pridejo tisti blizu vira: banke, velika podjetja, vlade in bogati investitorji. Predstavljajte si klasi\u010dno piramido. Na vrhu so elite, ki nov denar takoj vlo\u017eijo v delnice, nepremi\u010dnine ali surovine, kar \u00a0posledi\u010dno zelo na hitro dvigne tudi njihove cene. Ob dvigu cen energentov in potro\u0161nega materiala se posledi\u010dno zelo hitro podra\u017eijo tudi izdelki. Po navadi najprej tisti nujni za pre\u017eivetje in kasneje \u0161e vse ostalo. Delavski razred pa je ob vsem tem dodajanju na dnu: nov denar do njih pride \u0161ele kasneje, prek posojil, vi\u0161jih pla\u010d ali socialnih pomo\u010di. Do takrat so cene dobrin \u017ee konkretno vi\u0161je, saj je to najve\u010dji in ponavadi edini argument za dvig delavskih pla\u010d . To poglablja dru\u017ebeno neenakost: bogati postanejo \u0161e bogatej\u0161i, saj njihova sredstva rastejo hitreje od inflacije, medtem ko delavci izgubljajo. Vse to deluje kot da bi igrali igro, kjer so karte vnaprej razdeljene in delilec sodeluje le z eno stranjo.\n\n![Inflacija: Skriti davek, ki po\u017eira va\u0161o kupno mo\u010d \u2013 kako jo premagati s trdnim denarjem - Burek zgodba](https:\/\/europeanbitcoiners.com\/content\/images\/2026\/02\/Posnetek-zaslona-2026-02-15-130414.png)Da si to bolje predstavljate, poglejmo konkreten primer iz Slovenije, kjer je inflacija v obdobju 2022\u20132025 med vi\u0161jimi v Evropi. Med januarjem 2022 in februarjem 2026 se je povpre\u010dna neto pla\u010da nominalno zvi\u0161ala: od pribli\u017eno 1.319 evrov na okoli 1.627 evrov (po zadnjih podatkih SURS za november 2025, ki so trenutno razpolo\u017eljivi).\n\nTo je pribli\u017eno 23-odstotna rast. Ampak cene osnovnih \u017eivil so se povi\u0161ale \u0161e hitreje, zlasti v Ljubljani, kjer burek predstavlja simbol poceni malice.\n\n- Burek (v priljubljenih pekarna kot Olimpija, Nobel ali Ajda): januar 2022 pribli\u017eno 2,70 evra, februar 2026 od 3,50 evra navzgor (+30 odstotkov).\n- Teko\u010di jogurt MU (Ljubljanske mlekarne): januar 2022 pribli\u017eno 1,02 evra, februar 2026 okoli 1,49 evra (+46 odstotkov), \u010deprav v akcijah lahko pade na 1,29 evra.\n\n![Inflacija: Skriti davek, ki po\u017eira va\u0161o kupno mo\u010d \u2013 kako jo premagati s trdnim denarjem - Burek zgodba](https:\/\/europeanbitcoiners.com\/content\/images\/2026\/02\/Posnetek-zaslona-2026-02-15-130112.png)Kombinirani \u0022obrok\u0022 (burek + jogurt) je tako januarja 2022 stal pribli\u017eno 3,72 evra, danes pa pribli\u017eno 4,99 evra (+34 odstotkov). Koliko takih obrokov si lahko privo\u0161\u010di povpre\u010dni delavec? Leta 2022 pribli\u017eno 354 na mesec. Danes le \u0161e 326, kar pomeni 28 obrokov manj. Kupna mo\u010d se je zmanj\u0161ala za okoli 8 odstotkov, v jogurtih celo za 15,5 odstotka. Ta \u0022burek test\u0022 ni samo statistika; je vizualna slika, kako inflacija zmanj\u0161uje svobodo. Manj malice, manj izbire, manj \u017eivljenjskega standarda za navadne ljudi.\n\nAmpak ali obstaja re\u0161itev? Tukaj vstopi koncept \u0022trdnega denarja\u0022, kot sta zlato ali Bitcoin. Za razliko od fiat denarja (kot evro), ki ga centralne banke lahko tiskajo po mili volji, ima trden denar omejeno ponudbo \u2013 Bitcoin na primer omejen na 21 milijonov kovancev, brez mo\u017enosti \u00bbtiskanja\u00ab ali ustvarjanja. Predstavljajte si denar kot blago z v omejenih koli\u010dinah in ne kot velikansko reko: blago ohranja svojo vrednost, ker ga ni mogo\u010de razvrednotiti z ustvarjanjem novega. V \u010dasu inflacije je Bitcoin pogosto deloval kot \u0022digitalno zlato\u0022, saj je njegova cena rastla, med tem ko je fiat denar izgubljal vrednost \u2013 na primer med inflacijskimi krizami po letu 2020 je Bitcoin dosegel rekorde, medtem ko so fiat valute padale. Seveda pa z neomejenim denarjem na kratek rok ceno Bitcoina ali zlata lahko tudi obrnemo. A le za kratek \u010das, saj na koncu sistem, slej kot prej vse stvari postavi na svoje mesto. Za delavski razred bi prehod na trden denar pomenil za\u0161\u010dito kupne mo\u010di: pla\u010de in prihranki bi ohranili vrednost, brez Cantillonovega efekta, kjer elite profitirajo prve. Seveda to ni brez tveganj (volatilnost Bitcoina je visoka) vendar ponuja alternativo centraliziranemu sistemu, kjer bi ljudje lahko shranjevali vrednost v ne\u010dem, kar ni podvr\u017eeno politi\u010dnim odlo\u010ditvam.\n\n![Inflacija: Skriti davek, ki po\u017eira va\u0161o kupno mo\u010d \u2013 kako jo premagati s trdnim denarjem - Burek zgodba](https:\/\/europeanbitcoiners.com\/content\/images\/2026\/02\/image-5.png)\u010ce zaklju\u010dimo, inflacija ni neizogibna usoda, temve\u010d posledica sistema, ki favorizira elite, re\u0161uje svetovne te\u017eave na ra\u010dun delavcev in povpre\u010dnih dr\u017eavljanov.

Svoboda je, ampak za burek je vse manj denarja in ga v prihodnosti tudi bo.

Hkrati pa moramo ve\u010d pozornosti nameniti pravi te\u017eavi: gotovinskemu poslovanju, offshore ra\u010dunom in pomanjkanju mednarodnega sodelovanja pri sledenju fiat transakcij.\n\n**Klju\u010dno sporo\u010dilo: **Ko govorimo o nezakonitih finan\u010dnih dejavnostih, se moramo osredoto\u010diti na dejanske \u0161tevilke, ne na mit.

V dani situaciji pa vidimo da regulacija niti pribli\u017eno ne dosega svojih ciljev oziroma so cilji postavljeni popolnoma drugje. MiCA zahteva, da ponudniki kripto storitev, vklju\u010dno s kripto karticami in bitcoini preko Lightning omre\u017eja, izpolnjujejo stroge zahteve glede AML (proti pranju denarja) in KYC (poznaj svojo stranko). To pa pomeni, da morajo uporabniki pred uporabo kartice ali uporabo bitcoin pla\u010dil predlo\u017eiti osebne dokumente, kar sicer v teoriji pove\u010duje varnost, vendar tudi upo\u010dasnjuje proces, ga celo onemogo\u010da in omejuje delno (ne popolno) anonimnost, ki je bila ena od klju\u010dnih prednosti kriptovalut. Te\u017eava pa je v tem, da vsakega uporabnika tretira kot nekoga, ki ne spo\u0161tuje pravil, kr\u0161i zakonodajo,\u00a0\u00bbpere\u00ab\u00a0denar, financira terorizem in ga opere krivde \u0161ele ko gre skozi vse te regulatorne ovire in z vsakim pla\u010dilom odda v svet vse svoje podatke. \u0160e huj\u0161a ovira pa je Travel Rule, ki zahteva, da se pri vsakem prenosu bitcoina in kriptovalut bele\u017eijo podatki o po\u0161iljatelju-pla\u010dniku in prejemniku, ne glede na vi\u0161ino zneska. To ote\u017euje avtomatsko konverzijo bitcoina in kriptovalut v evre ob pla\u010dilu, saj mora biti vsaka transakcija sledljiva in dav\u010dno dokumentirana. V praksi to pomeni, da kripto kartice, kot je Bybit Card ali pla\u010dila z bitcoini, ne dovoljujejo neposredne porabe kriptovalut, ampak zahtevajo\u00a0\u00bbro\u010dno\u00ab\u00a0prodajo bitcoina v fiat valuto ob vsakem nakupu. Primer iz Avstrije na ByBit kartici ka\u017ee, kako sistem zavrne transakcijo z sporo\u010dilom: \u201cCrypto spending is restricted due to your tax identity\u201d, primer iz Slovenije pa, da zaradi ne \u017eivljenjskih regulatornih ovir po vseh letih in ve\u010d kot 2500 pla\u010dilnih mesih kjer si lahko pla\u010dal z bitcoinom preko Lightning omre\u017eja, v letu 2026 nimamo niti enega pla\u010dilnega mesta ve\u010d. Podobne ovire veljajo po vsej EU, kjer enotna pravila EU prevladajo nad nacionalnimi. Te regulacije niso namenjene samo za\u0161\u010diti, ampak tudi ohranjanju nadzora nad finan\u010dnim sistemom. In to s strani bruseljskih uradnikov, ki \u017eelijo imeti vpogled v vse na\u0161e transakcije. Namesto da bi sprejeli bitcoin in kriptovalute kot novo obliko denarja ali hranilca vrednosti ter izkoristili vse prednosti za posameznika, jih evropski regulatorji obravnavajo kot tvegan nalo\u017ebeni razred in orodje za pranje denarja, ki ga je treba nadzorovati celo bolj kot tradicionalne ban\u010dne produkte. Kar pa niti v teoriji ni res ampak je popolno zavajanje.\n\n![Kako kripto kartice in bitcoin pla\u010dila v EU in Sloveniji ne delujejo - Regulacije in davki kot glavni\u00a0krivci](https:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/1000\/0*LsIJ2v7Q6sf6cUjz.png)### **Dav\u010dni vidiki v Sloveniji: Od raja do\u00a0pasti**\n\nV Sloveniji kriptovalute trenutno niso obravnavane kot finan\u010dni instrumenti ali delnice, zato kapitalski dobi\u010dki iz trgovanja niso obdav\u010deni. Leta 2025 je Ministrstvo za finance predlagalo 25-odstotni davek na dobi\u010dke iz prodaje ali menjave bitcoin in kriptovalut za fiat ali blago, z izjemo izmenjav med kriptovalutami. Ta predlog pa je bil zaradi mo\u010dnega nasprotovanja odlo\u017een za nedolo\u010den \u010das. V Bitcoin dru\u0161tvu Slovenije in Blockchain alliance EU so se aktivno trudili argumentirati proti temu zakonu, poudarjajo\u010d, da je nesmiseln in ne \u017eivljenjski. Po njihovem mnenju bi bil lahko ustavno sporen in diskriminatoren, saj ne lo\u010duje sredstev med seboj a na drugi (dav\u010dni strani) dela razlike med podobnimi tradicionalnimi sredstvi. Zbirali so celo podpise proti zakonu in ga ocenili kot nejasnega in polnega pomanjkljivosti. Odlo\u010danje je bilo odlo\u017eeno zaradi vseh nepravilnosti ter nasprotovanja dolo\u010denih politi\u010dnih strank in na koncu je prav vodilna stranka prosila za umik obravnave. \u010ceprav Slovenija ni neposredno omenjena v mnogih EU primerih, se v Avstriji pojavljajo primeri ko dav\u010dna rezidentnost in ne lokacija transakcije, dolo\u010da pravila. Uporabniki morajo ro\u010dno prodati kriptovalute na platformi v evre (npr. preko spot trgovanja), jih prenesti v \u201cfunding account\u201d in \u0161ele nato pla\u010dati svoje produkte oziroma storitve. To ni samo zamudno, ampak tudi stro\u0161kovno neu\u010dinkovito, izni\u010di prednost hitrosti in likvidnosti bitcoina ter nekaterih kriptovalut ter sili uporabnika v prodajo sredstva. Klub temu da tehnologija in likvidnost omogo\u010da, da se to dogaja instantno in ne na zalogo.\n\n![Kako kripto kartice in bitcoin pla\u010dila v EU in Sloveniji ne delujejo - Regulacije in davki kot glavni\u00a0krivci](https:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/1000\/0*VaKh_ww_KXaiodGd.jpg)NAKA je Slovenska produkt za Bitcoin in kripto\u00a0pla\u010dila### **Zakaj te omejitve? Nesmiselni okviri za moderno tehnologijo**\n\nKriptovalute so likvidne 24 ur na dan, sedem dni v tednu, 365 dni v letu in jih je mogo\u010de kadarkoli zamenjati za evre in uporabiti za pla\u010dila. Zakaj potem omejevati njihovo uporabo? Odgovor le\u017ei v nesmiselnih uredbah evropskih birokratov, ki posku\u0161ajo novo tehnologijo stisniti v zastarele modele in nadzorovati vsako mikro transakcijo ter siliti v nakup in uporabo\u00a0\u00bbnjihovih\u00ab\u00a0fiat valut kot so evri in dolarji.

Te regulacije du\u0161ijo inovacije: namesto enostavnega pla\u010dila z Bitcoinom morajo uporabniki preskakovati ovire, da izpolnijo AML zahteve in dav\u010dne obveznosti, ki ponavadi niti ne obstajajo. \u010cas je povozil te modele\u200a\u2014\u200abitcoin je globalen, decentraliziran, likviden in hiter, medtem ko so evropske uredbe centralizirane, po\u010dasne in birokratske. Rezultat? Mnoge kripto kartice v EU preprosto ne delujejo tako, kot bi morale, kar odvra\u010da uporabnike, omejuje rast trga ter zavira vse inovacije. Bitcoin pla\u010dila pa so v Sloveniji in po celotni EU dejansko izginila in to kljub temu, da smo imeli v Sloveniji vrhunska podjetja v svetovnem merilu, ki so zagotavljala tehnologijo in skrbela za varnost in nadzor transakcij. Na drugi strani pa lahko uporabniki uporabljajo kartice, ki niso regulirane v EU in normalno pla\u010dujejo brez vseh teh ovir.\u00a0\n\n![Kako kripto kartice in bitcoin pla\u010dila v EU in Sloveniji ne delujejo - Regulacije in davki kot glavni\u00a0krivci](https:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/1000\/0*FxBSD2_eNZ75zlev)NiceHASH pla\u010dila v\u00a0MariboruSedaj pa se vpra\u0161ajmo ali je resni\u010den namen za\u0161\u010dita ali le popoln nadzor tistih, ki se ne znajdejo in ne \u017eelijo iskati re\u0161itev izven meja EU. \u010cez nekaj let pa se bomo po vsej verjetnosti ponovno spra\u0161evali zakaj v EU nimamo ponudnika, ki bi lahko zagotavljal pla\u010dilni promet z modernimi re\u0161itvami kot je bitcoin in kriptovalute. Danes imamo popolnoma enak problem z ameri\u0161kimi ponudniki pla\u010dilnih kartic kot sta VISA in MasterCard saj evropskega na \u017ealost (ali pa sre\u010do) nimamo.

Dolgoro\u010dno pa je potrebna sprememba: EU bi morala prilagoditi regulacije, da sprejme likvidnost bitcoina in kriptovalut brez nepotrebnih ovir. V Sloveniji bi lahko nacionalni zakonodajalci zagovarjali izjeme za majhne transakcije ob uporabi bitcoina ali kripto karti\u010dnih pla\u010dil, da ne bi zadu\u0161ili inovacij. Dokler se evropski politiki ne bodo sprijaznili z novo realnostjo, bodo kripto kartice ostale bolj obljuba kot resni\u010dnost, pla\u010devanje z bitcoinom pa utopija. Uporabniki bodo morali navigirati med regulacijami, ki so bolj ovira kot pomo\u010d in iskati alternativne re\u0161itve, ki niso v interesu niti eni niti drugi strani.\u00a0\n\n\u010cas je za spremembe\u200a\u2014\u200abitcoin in kriptovalute so tu, da ostanejo in zaslu\u017eijo si modernej\u0161i okvir.

Spremenila je svet financ in pritegnila tako navdu\u0161ence kot velike kritike te tehnologije.","content":"V letu 2026 tr\u017ena kapitalizacija bitcoina presega ve\u010d milijard dolarjev in ko institucije vse bolj vstopajo v svet bitcoina, po svetu \u0161e vedno kro\u017eijo \u0161tevilni predsodki in napa\u010dne informacije. V tem \u010dlanku bomo razkrili in ovrgli 10 najve\u010djih mitov o Bitcoinu. To bomo naredili na podlagi strokovnih analiz in podatkov, ki so dostopni vsakemu posamezniku. Ne glede na to, ali ste za\u010detnik, izku\u0161en vlagatelj ali tehnolo\u0161ki navdu\u0161enec, vam bo ta pregled pomagal bolje razumeti Bitcoin in vam morda odgovoril na kak\u0161no vpra\u0161anje ali dilemo.\n\n## **Mit 1: Bitcoin je ekolo\u0161ka katastrofa**\n\n\u003E Kritiki pogosto predstavljajo rudarjenje bitcoina kot velikega porabnika energije, ki onesna\u017euje planet. Po navadi ga primerjajo s porabo celotnih dr\u017eav.\n\n**Dejstvo:** Bitcoin omre\u017eje res porabi veliko energije. To je posledica mehanizma dokazila-o-delu (proof-of-work). Vendar je letna poraba danes pod 200 TWh, kar je vsaj nekajkrat manj kot tradicionalni ban\u010dni sistem. Rudarska podjetja i\u0161\u010dejo najcenej\u0161o energijo, ki je pogosto prese\u017ena obnovljiva energija (hidro, veter, sonce), ki bi v nasprotnem primeru ostala neizkori\u0161\u010dena. To spodbuja stabilnost omre\u017eja in zeleno energijo, poleg tega pa ovrednoti to energijo in omogo\u010da dodatna vlaganja v izgradnjo ali posodobitve omre\u017eja. \u0160tudije ka\u017eejo, da do 70 % porabe rudarjev uporablja obnovljive vire, kar Bitcoin omre\u017eje naredi bolj u\u010dinkovito in \u010disto od rudarjenja zlata ali tradicionalnega ban\u010dni\u0161tva.\n\n![Bitcoin Myth-busters  10 najve\u010djih mitov o Bitcoinu](https:\/\/europeanbitcoiners.com\/content\/images\/2026\/01\/image-2.png)## **Mit 2: Bitcoin nima notranje (intrinzi\u010dne) vrednosti**\n\n\u003E Skeptiki trdijo, da Bitcoin nima notranje vrednosti, ker ga ne podpira fizi\u010dno zlato ali kaj drugega, prav tako nima nobene dr\u017eavne garancije; vse je le \u0022digitalni zrak\u0022.\n\n**Dejstvo:** Vrednost je subjektivna in izhaja iz uporabnosti, redkosti ter povpra\u0161evanja posameznikov ali mno\u017eice. Bitcoin ima fiksno omejeno ponudbo - 21 milijonov kovancev. Bitcoin zagotavlja preverljivo redkost skozi tehnologijo, kar je v nasprotju s fiat valutami, ki jih lahko natisnejo brez omejitev. Podjetja, kot so MicroStrategy, Twenty-One in MetaPlanet, so vanj vlo\u017eila milijarde, saj ga vidijo kot \u0022digitalno zlato\u0022 in za\u0161\u010dito pred inflacijo. Halvingi (zmanj\u0161anje nove ponudbe bitcoinov vsake \u0161tiri leta) so zgodovinsko vodili do dolgoro\u010dne rasti. Vse te dogodke - od novega pritoka bitcoinov do halvingov in prilagoditve te\u017eavnosti rudarjenja - so zapisani v protokolu in enostavno preverljivi, kar za FIAT valute ne moremo trditi. To je najve\u010dja notranja vrednost bitcoina.\n\n## **Mit 3: Bitcoin je neuporaben**\n\n\u003E Mnogi pravijo, da Bitcoin slu\u017ei le \u0161pekulacijam in nima nobene prakti\u010dne uporabnosti. Ceno pa poganja \u0161pekulacija in \u017eelja po hitrem zaslu\u017eku.\n\n**Dejstvo:** Bitcoin omogo\u010da brezmejne, hitre in ugodne transakcije ter je dragocen v dr\u017eavah z nestabilnimi valutami ali visokimi provizijami za po\u0161iljanje denarja v tretje dr\u017eave. V El Salvadorju, kjer je zakonito pla\u010dilno sredstvo, Venezueli in Argentini, ljudem pomaga ube\u017eati inflaciji in kapitalskemu nadzoru. \u0160tevilni dr\u017eavljani, ki delajo v tujini, svoje \u0022remittance\u0022 (nakazila zaslu\u017eka iz tujine v domovino) po\u0161iljajo tudi preko bitcoin omre\u017eja. Podjetja, kot sta Strategy ali MetaPlanet, ga hranijo v bilanci, kjer slu\u017ei kot hranilec vrednosti in za\u0161\u010dita pred inflacijo. Uporabnost je subjektivna, a milijoni uporabnikov po svetu dokazujejo njegovo prakti\u010dno vrednost. Skeptiki, ki ga ne posedujejo, v njem ne vidijo vrednosti, saj ga ne morejo uporabljati.\n\n## **Mit 4: Bitcoin je namenjen kriminalcem**\n\n\u003E Povezava z dark-web trgi vodi do prepri\u010danja, da je Bitcoin predvsem orodje za nezakonite dejavnosti.\n\n**Dejstvo:** Nezakonite transakcije predstavljajo manj kot 0,5 % celotnega obsega Bitcoinov. To \u0161tevilko je bistveno ni\u017eja v primerjavi z gotovino ali tradicionalnimi financami. Javna blockchain veriga poenostavi sledenje in pregled sredstev v primerjavi z gotovino ali skritimi ban\u010dnimi transakcijami. Veliki primeri zaprtja dark marketov so privedli do aretacij prav zaradi te preglednosti na verigi blokov. Bitcoin je nevtralna tehnologija. Kot internet je lahko uporabljena za dobro in slabo, a njegova sledljivost odvra\u010da kriminal. Vse, kar se zapi\u0161e na verigi blokov ostane tam in tega nih\u010de ne more spremeniti.\n\n![Bitcoin Myth-busters  10 najve\u010djih mitov o Bitcoinu](https:\/\/europeanbitcoiners.com\/content\/images\/2026\/01\/image-3.png)## **Mit 5: Bitcoin je anonimen**\n\n\u003E Ljudje menijo, da Bitcoin ponuja popolno anonimnost, kar je idealno za skrivanje transakcij.\n\n**Dejstvo:** Bitcoin je psevdonimen, ne anonimen, kot je zmotno mi\u0161ljenje. Vse transakcije so javno zapisane na verigi blokov za potrebe preverjanja in prepre\u010devanja dvojne porabe. Identitete niso neposredno povezane z naslovi, razen \u010de jih pove\u017eemo z zunanjimi podatki. Orodja za analizo verig omogo\u010dajo sledenje, kar pomaga oblastem veliko bolj kot pri gotovini, kjer je sledenje popolnoma nemogo\u010de. Stopnja zasebnosti je odvisna od uporabnikovih praks, a ni inherentno nepregledna.\n\n## **Mit 6: Bitcoin ni valuta**\n\n\u003E Kritiki pravijo, da Bitcoin ne izpolnjuje meril denarja, ker ni \u0161iroko sprejet ali dovolj stabilen za vsakodnevno uporabo.\n\n**Dejstvo**: Bitcoin izpolnjuje klju\u010dne lastnosti denarja - redkost, zamenljivost, deljivost, prenosljivost in trajnost - pogosto celo bolje kot fiat. Nastal je kot peer-to-peer elektronski denar in se kot tak tudi uporablja po svetu, tudi kot zakonito pla\u010dilno sredstvo v nekaterih dr\u017eavah. Re\u0161itve na drugi plasti, kot je Lightning Network, omogo\u010dajo hitre in poceni transakcije. Denar je tisto, kar ljudje sprejemajo kot denar - Bitcoin po\u010dasi postaja tak. Po svetu obstaja veliko valut, ki se uporabljajo veliko manj kot bitcoin, imajo manj\u0161e povpra\u0161evanje ali ni\u017ejo tr\u017eno kapitalizacijo, pa so \u0161e vedno priznane kot valute.\n\n## **Mit 7: Lastni\u0161tvo Bitcoinov je izjemno koncentrirano**\n\n\u003E Statistika, ki ka\u017ee, da majhen odstotek naslovov dr\u017ei ve\u010dino Bitcoinov, nakazuje nadzor pe\u0161\u010dice \u0022kitov\u0022.\n\n**Dejstvo:** Ta metrika je zavajajo\u010da, saj naslovi ne pomenijo posameznih oseb. Borze, skladi in podjetja zdru\u017eujejo sredstva milijonov uporabnikov. Veliko velikih naslovov je tudi neaktivnih ali izgubljenih. To pomeni, da v obtoku obstaja celo manj kot 21 milijonov bitcoinov. Ko prilagodimo podatke, je porazdelitev Bitcoina manj koncentrirana kot globalno bogastvo v fiat valutah in drugih sredstvih. Decentralizirana narava prepre\u010duje, da bi kateri koli subjekt prevladal nad omre\u017ejem.\n\n## **Mit 8:** **Bitcoin je piramidalna shema (Ponzi)**\n\n\u003E Primerjave s prevarami nakazujejo, da Bitcoin temelji na novih vlagateljih, ki kupujejo bitcoine in vi\u0161ajo vrednost tistim, ki so kupovali prvi.\n\n**Dejstvo**: Za razliko od Ponzi shem, ki obljubljajo zagotovljene donose in imajo centralnega promotorja, Bitcoin nima zagotovljenih donosov. Temelji na odprti knjigi, njegova vrednost izhaja iz ponudbe in povpra\u0161evanja. Je decentralizirano sredstvo z jasnimi pravili in brez prednosti za zgodnje vlagatelje. Vsi imajo enake mo\u017enosti, od razvijalcev, poznavalcev do za\u010detnikov. Edina prednost, ki jo lahko ima\u0161, je ta, da \u010dim hitreje prepozna\u0161 vse prednosti bitcoina in si skozi \u010das zagotovi\u0161 dolo\u010deno koli\u010dino. Ve\u010d kot 15 let rasti brez kolapsa izhaja iz prave uporabnosti in sprejetosti, ne iz hypa, da bomo zamudili vlak. To so trditve tistih, ki \u0161e ne razumejo samega sistema in ne poznajo lastnosti trdnega denarja.\n\n## **Mit 9: Bitcoin je balon**\n\n\u003E Pogosti padci cen vodijo do mnenja, da Bitcoin izgleda kot \u0161pekulativni balon, ki bo kon\u010dno po\u010dil, podobno kot tulipomanija.\n\n**Dejstvo:** Bitcoin je pre\u017eivel ve\u010d ciklov od leta 2009, s padci od 50 do 80 %, ki so jim sledili novi vrhovi, podobno kot internet v \u010dasu dot-com balona. Odpornost bitcoina izhaja iz rasto\u010de sprejetosti, institucionalnih nalo\u017eb (npr. ETF-ji) in uporabnosti kot hranilca vrednosti. S tr\u017eno kapitalizacijo ki se meri v milijardah dolarjev in integracijo v tradicionalne finance ni muha enodnevnica, ki bi jutri izginila. To\u010dka, kjer bi se lahko vse sesulo, je bila \u017ee davno prese\u017eena.\n\n![Bitcoin Myth-busters  10 najve\u010djih mitov o Bitcoinu](https:\/\/europeanbitcoiners.com\/content\/images\/2026\/01\/image-4.png)## **Mit 10: Bitcoin je preve\u010d volatilen**\n\n\u003E Divji nihaji cen ga delajo nezanesljivega kot hranilca vrednosti ali kot nalo\u017ebo.\n\n**Dejstvo:** Volatilnost je zna\u010dilna za mlade, rasto\u010de trge in se s \u010dasom zmanj\u0161uje. Nedavni cikli ka\u017eejo manj\u0161e nihaje kot v preteklosti. To dokazuje, da se bitcoin razvija, povpra\u0161evanje nara\u0161\u010da in prav tako odpornost na volatilnost. Strategije, kot je dnevno kupovanje (dollar-cost averaging), zmanj\u0161ujejo tveganje. Dolgoro\u010dni imetniki in uporabniki te strategije so lahko s pametnim kupovanjem dosegli velike dobi\u010dke. Volatilnost je del evolucije. Samo pogled v \u00a0zgodovino zlata ali delnic ka\u017ee popolnoma isto sliko. Institucionalni vstop in regulacije pa to volatilnost postopoma popolnoma stabilizirajo.\n\n## **Zaklju\u010dek:**\n\nTi miti pogosto izhajajo iz nepopolnih informacij, nepoznavanja ali primerjav s tradicionalnimi sistemi, ki ne veljajo za Bitcoinovo inovativno zasnovo. Z napredkom, kot so re\u0161itve na drugi plasti, vstopom institucij in ve\u010dja regulativna jasnost, se bo vloga Bitcoina v svetovnih financah verjetno \u0161e pove\u010dala. Izobra\u017eevanje z dejstvi lahko razkrije potenciale te tehnologije kot orodja za opolnomo\u010denje, za\u0161\u010dito pred inflacijo, varovanje zasebnosti in inovacije. Kot pri vsaki nalo\u017ebi je previdnost, u\u010denje in lastna raziskava klju\u010dnega pomena.\n\nBitcoin ni hitra pot do bogastva, temve\u010d globoka sprememba v razmi\u0161ljanju o denarju. Tako kot v bitcoinu je tudi v na\u0161em znanju potrebno vlo\u017eiti nekaj dela, kar se nam bo v prihodnosti obrestovalo.\n\n![Bitcoin Myth-busters  10 najve\u010djih mitov o Bitcoinu](https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/v2\/resize:fit:150\/0*R-V7guW69UpkunIp.png)![Bitcoin Myth-busters  10 najve\u010djih mitov o Bitcoinu](https:\/\/europeanbitcoiners.com\/content\/images\/2025\/01\/Logo-ENG-multi.png)*\u010clanke in prevode za blog na spletni strani pi\u0161ejo razli\u010dni \u010dlani, podporniki in skupine posameznikov v Bitcoin dru\u0161tvu Slovenije in ne pomenijo nikakr\u0161nih finan\u010dnih nasvetov.

To vsi vedo. \nKar je manj znano: je to\u010dno \u0161tevilo Kinder plo\u0161\u010dic, ki jih potrebuje\u0161, da med razvojem Bitcoina:\n\n- ne zapusti\u0161 hi\u0161e\n- se izogne\u0161 socialnim stikom\n- in ignorira\u0161 vse fiat valute na svetu\n\nTi coini niso bili nikoli premaknjeni.\nNe iz morale.
