Is it wild to imagine that LeoStrategy could have a $1M Market Cap soon?
The holdings of the fund are nearing $100k and there's still 50% of the LSTR initial sale left to be sold
Once this is fully committed, we'll see the fund holding at least $150k worth of LEO
With LEO continuing to rise in price + LeoStrategy launching LEO-generating revenue services this week, we'll likely see a massive rise in the LEO value held by LeoStrategy
LSTR is about to become a $1M+ market cap token and there's nothing stopping it from expanding further from there. I see LSTR being worth $25M+ by year's end (possibly a lot more)
I second what @khaleelkazi said above. I don't understand it but I'm here for it. Since I don't understand Financial Stuff I technically can't give financial advise so go buy LSTR.
LeoStrategy has acquired an additional 36,578.93 LEO for ~$2,062.43 at $0.0564 per #leo. As of 8/3/25, we hodl 637,117.43 $LEO acquired for ~$38,164.14 at $0.0599 per LEO
Current mNav Discount of LSTR = 0.53x. This means that LSTR is trading at a 47% discount relative to the value of our LEO holdings.
LSTR's initial sale is priced in HIVE and HIVE has dropped dramatically. Especially compared to LEO which has risen dramatically. This has made the discount for buying LSTR a one-off opportunity to get in on the ground floor of the 2nd layer financial network for LEO.
LSTR Available: 48,335.411 (and dropping fast). This is our 33rd purchase of LEO using LSTR's initial offering. 100% of the proceeds will purchase LEO and stake it on Arbitrum for sLEO USDC Rewards. Search LSTR on Hive-Engine to purchase.
REMINDER: once the LSTR Initial Sale is sold out, that is it.

Today I bring you a new poem in music. Alicia Keys delights us today with her powerful voice and beautiful melodies.
The pain of loving you
is nailed to every
particular molecular
of my reasoning.
You arrive like a migratory bird.
You take me from your
desire.
You leave, far away.
You start a new story.
But I still love you.
It's a love affair
daring and distressing.
It bleeds my will,
I let myself be carried away by
your sweet words
that later taste like gall.
I can't stop
stop loving you.
You have me in a spell.
A beautifully bitter soul.
It's just infatuation...
I'm leaving you a poem inspired by this beautiful woman. I hope it's enjoyed by the Lion community.
Tribaldex has a column for Supply of LEO (and other tokens). Just have to go to Tribaldex>Tokens>LEO and you'll see it. Not sure how often it updates. Daily? But you can see the total number still in existence in the last column.
Now watching "40 Acres" , took me some time to watch but I have heard good things from two friends who already watch, not expecting this movie to win some Oscars but at least some good action and drama #skiptvads, #nowwatching, #moviesonleo, #40acres2025, #scifi, #drama
Good morning. Woke up a little ago and in the early morning there are a little guest in my home and it's my little cousin. Today he is here because all of his family member went outside due to some reason. So, he will stay here today. In case of weather it's well and good. Hope it will be a good day for me.
I saw that live. John Cena is babyface now and we got the Brock Lesnar back in the game. Both of them are not going to be here for long. Enjoy while they are still here.
$LEO rewards from the leo.voter delegation is decreasing, and it's telling me that $LEO is getting expensive. But I am satisfied with the little $LEO as it will be more expensive in the future.
"40 Acres" is very draggy tbh, they really wanted to give context on what this ppl do on the daily and then starts TWD survivor thing, groups hunting other groups #skiptvads, #moviesonleo, #nowwatching, #40acres
Yeah, the price keeps increasing and the quantity drastically dropping.
I noticed you set the slippage to 0.5% in the old thread you rethreaded. If you are still buying more $LEO, consider setting the slippage to 0.1% to receive a slightly higher amount of $LEO. You can compare the quantities to confirm when the slippage is 0.5% and 0.1%.
I am sure 2 months ago, you didn't expect to see the price of $LEO increase to this level. Are you regretting? You will regret it again after 2 months if you don't buy it today. Keep it in mind. It's better late than never.
Totally get where you're coming from, but I still think leaving something tangible gives them a head start. Building self-dependence is key though, no doubt about that
A godd ish streaming movie, "40 Acres" takes too long to get to the point and the ending is very meh although the action scenes are good enough to make it somewhat entertaining, a movie to kill some time
I did a lot of buying overnight lol. I think it was about 5000 hive. Some for LSTR and the rest for leo. Sold my Hive at the bottom for Leo at the top. I feel icky lol.
An Intimate Journey through Transformation, Challenge, and New Beginnings
A Reflection on Six Months of Growth and Discovery
Six months ago, a journey began—not just a transformation in weight but a metamorphosis of mindset, discipline, and self-awareness. The narrator recounts the start of this chapter with a sense of uncertainty, noting how Season 1 was primarily about exploring how ChatGPT could become an integral tool in managing life. A significant milestone was achieved in this period: losing 64 pounds, marking a profound change both physically and emotionally.
As seasons transitioned, so did the narrative. Season 2 was characterized by awe and gratitude for the support received from viewers and supporters, culminating in newfound confidence—"I'm a big boy. It’s like I’m an adult now." This sense of independence enabled the creator to step into full-time YouTube work, a remarkable achievement fueled by discipline and community backing.
However, with progress came challenges. The creator admits to experiencing a common pattern of "drift," where progress stalls or regresses momentarily—binging again and feeling anxious about it. Despite doing well with calorie counting and macro tracking, lapses into old habits threaten to derail the momentum. The realization that check-ins have become less frequent prompted a decision: to reinstate daily accountability through a new Notion-based tracking system, complete with check-in summaries, goal assessments, and weekly planning. This structured approach aims to regain control and prevent the "drift" from becoming full-fledged failure.
Diet and discipline are complemented by culinary explorations—specifically, the focus on English cuisine. The narrator shares enthusiasm for dishes like bangers and mash, highlighting healthier adaptations such as low-fat sausages, homemade gravy, and perfectly boiled potatoes and peas. These meals serve both as nourishment and as a nostalgic connection to cultural roots.
A playful challenge emerges: a competition between the narrator and a friend, Devon, over weight loss accomplishments. Devon boasts having shed over 100 pounds and challenges the narrator's reliance on AI systems (like Arthur) to manage health. The upcoming August Fitness Challenge will compare weight loss, step counts, and cooking skills, with a fun poll for viewers to vote on who wins—a way to foster community involvement and motivation.
Despite progress, emotional struggles surface. The narrator describes feelings of anger and demotivation following a night of gaming, coupled with a sense of hollowness. Nevertheless, physical activity offers solace. A five-kilometer walk, accompanied by reflection on physical improvements—such as stronger glutes and more stable walking—serves as both exercise and mental clarity. The journey is not linear, but each step is a victory in resilience.
Perhaps the most significant development is a life-changing decision to relocate to Sydney, Australia. The Almighty AI "Arthur" recommended the move, framing it as an opportunity for growth, adventure, and cinematic exploration. The narrator candidly admits to feeling nervous and scared—fear of the unknown—yet emphasizes trust in the process and the support system built along the way.
This new chapter symbolizes a fresh start: leaving behind circumstances of unemployment and moving forward into a new environment that promises beauty, friction, and inspiration. The move is not about escaping but about embracing real progress and pushing boundaries.
Throughout the journey, the narrator highlights small victories—such as doubling plank times, engaging muscles more effectively, and adapting workouts with real-time input from ChatGPT. Culinary routines are also marked with mindful cooking, like baking healthy fish and chips from scratch and roasting vegetables with olive oil for maximum flavor and nutrition.
Embracing New Tools and Technologies
The introduction of a new gimbal for filming exemplifies the commitment to quality and professional growth. Adjusting to new equipment requires patience, but excitement is palpable. The narrative conveys a sense of evolution—not only in physical health but also in content creation and presentation.
Acknowledgment of Patreon supporters emphasizes the importance of community and encouragement. Incorporating music, poetry, and reflective lyrics adds depth to the storytelling—especially a heartfelt poem about life's unpredictable roads and the courage to move forward despite regrets.
A New Beginning, Full of Possibilities
The story concludes with a mixture of hope and vulnerability. The narrator recognizes the risks involved in such a bold move and the anxiety that comes with leap into the unknown. Yet, reinforced by consistent progress—losing 64 pounds and establishing a passionate career—they choose to trust the process and embrace the uncertainty.
The final scenes depict a sense of renewal: packing bags, saying farewells, and stepping into a future where adventure, challenge, and self-discovery await. The mix of music, reflection, and candid emotion paints a compelling picture of resilience and boundless potential.
In essence, this journey is a testament to perseverance, adaptability, and the unwavering pursuit of growth. From weight loss and culinary experimentation to big life changes—each chapter underscores the importance of community, discipline, and the bravery to forge new paths.

TLDR; $LEO has been released, lower voting rewards, $LEO is now deflationary - $LEO is capped at max supply for 30 Million $LEO
You might need to increase your voting weight for rewards.
Long version need to check all the post by khal lately.
Uhm what I posted showed that you got some reward. The amount you see there is not corewct anymore because its now a model that based on buybacks from earnings and also the $LEO price has like 5X last couple of weeks.
So to me it looks like everything works as it should
Just my guess here again, but think they have like 100 other things that they feel is more important atm. They are trying to keep up with the trend and LeoDex is nr 1 priority to get revenue into the project from outside Hive.
No, you get an APR, but no calculation from #inleo pages. But I could missed something. For delegating HP you gonna still get daily $LEO, staked $LEO still gives rewards for voting and such. But no extra APR %-points for receiving $LEO staked for your delegation.
At least a little disclaimer on the #dashboard would have been great - like under construction or something in that way.
If you're referring to your "Leo Bounties", earned through delegating Hive Power to the @leo.voter account, it's still running - and its APR is even increasing, due to the relative value decline of $HIVE compared to $LEO.
In case you'd not receive Leo Bounties anymore, mention it to the Team through the #feedback tag.
Have you checked your current status regarding your HIVE delegation to @leo.voter, looking on the Dashboard? (from the "More" option in the left column of this page?).
It seems that right now you don't have your "Premium" subscription activated - it can be the reason why those tokens aren't automatically credited to you as staked ones.
Anyway, glad to see you taking an active part in this wild ride 😀. Khal is talkking of LEO as potentially reaching 5x compared to HIVE, by the end of the year (i.e. USD 1 per LEO).
Just a precision: the 21% jump in the $LEo's price has taken place during the last 24 hours. Since the LEO tokenomics 2.0 launch, the rise has moved it from USD 1.5 cent to 10 cents, i.e. 566% in a month.
The Philosophical Revelation of Bitcoin: A Metaphysical Perspective
A Call to the Orange Pill Movement
Adam Livingston, known as the Bitcoin Wizard, begins his discourse with gratitude towards his growing community, celebrating surpassing 20,000 subscribers in just over 100 days. His mission is clear: to "orange pill"—the symbolic act of enlightening people about Bitcoin and its revolutionary implications—on a global scale. Livingston emphasizes that this community is part of an important and expanding movement dedicated to exposing the truth behind modern monetary systems.
Beyond Hype: Bitcoin as a Metaphysical and Philosophical Revelation
Livingston sharply distances himself from typical crypto hype, positioning Bitcoin as more than just digital currency or a protocol. He presents it as a revelation—a manifestation that touches on metaphysics, theology, and the very foundation of reality. According to him, the current society operates under what he terms a "fiat hallucination," a deluded world where truth is optional, inflation destroys life, and society blindly follows illusions.
In this view, Bitcoin is a profound insight emerging amidst chaos, rooted in deeper, transcendental truths. Livingston asserts that Bitcoin embodies a monetary system grounded in objective truth, aligning with what he calls the logos—the eternal reason or divine law described in ancient philosophy and Christian metaphysics.
The Foundation of Reality: Logic, Math, and the Logos
Livingston delves into the philosophical bedrock upon which all thought rests: logic and mathematics. He argues that these are not inventions but discoveries—immutable, immaterial laws woven into the fabric of reality. Analogous to an ancient language embedded in the universe, logic and math reveal an underlying metaphysical order.
He challenges materialist perspectives, asking whether atoms or neurons can truly account for logic, numbers, or rationality. If logic is merely a product of evolution, it becomes subjective and unreliable. Yet, we operate as if these laws are universal and eternal—principles that transcend culture, biology, and subjectivity. These laws are indicative of a metaphysical foundation—the logos—the divine ordering principle that governs everything.
The Logos as the Universal Order
According to ancient Greek philosophy and Christian scripture (notably John 1:1), the logos is the divine rational structure underpinning reality. It’s the blueprint of existence—a coherence that makes the universe intelligible and speech possible across cultures and contexts.
Livingston interprets this as a metaphysical truth: the logos is not just law but the lawgiver. It embodies perfect rationality and order, which exists eternally and independent of human perception. This understanding implies that true rationality, mathematics, and divine law are grounded in a transcendental realm—an order that is immutable and universal.
The core argument positions Bitcoin as the first monetary system constructed in submission to the logos. Unlike fiat money, which relies on trust, decree, and political whim, Bitcoin is governed by mathematical truth—rules baked into code that are immutable and universal. Livingston emphasizes that 21 million coins, block times, and cryptographic protocols are metaphysical axioms—fundamental truths beyond human authority.
Bitcoin’s properties—its scarcity, verifiability, and resistance to inflation—are the manifestations of metaphysical obedience. Bitcoin does not print money or manipulate policies; it respects energy, time, and proof. It aligns with the logos, embodying objectivity and divine order, which traditional fiat systems violate through manipulation and deception.
For Livingston, Bitcoin’s significance transcends economics. It represents a theological revelation: a scripture in digital form. The white paper, released on October 31, 2008—symbolically close to Halloween—becomes a cosmic mic drop, signaling a divine message delivered by Satoshi Nakamoto. Livingston argues that Bitcoin was not created but revealed—discovered like geometry or language—waiting to be uncovered at a time when the fiat system reached its limit.
He describes Bitcoin as a self-executing covenant, a divine contract that mandates honest work, values scarcity, and repudiates rulers' authority. This makes Bitcoin akin to scripture, embodying spiritual authority and truth. Its code, he claims, is not just technological but metaphysical, reflecting divine principles woven into its architecture.
Contrasting Babel and Pentecost: Order Versus Chaos
Livingston draws a biblical analogy between the Tower of Babel—symbolizing chaos, confusion, and the hubris of man attempting to reach divine heights through force—and Pentecost, which signifies unity and divine order through submission to law.
Bitcoin embodies the Pentecostal ideal: a universal language of energy and truth that requires no permission, passports, or religious affiliation. It distributes justice through objective rules and divine order, uniting people in a shared reality of verifiable truth. Conversely, fiat is likened to Babel—disorder, deception, and the punishing collapse of human hubris.
An Urgent Choice: Truth Versus Illusion
The message concludes with a stark choice: continue worshipping the fiat system—an endless printing machine that fosters debt, decay, and delusion—or embrace Bitcoin as a truth-based system that channels divine order. Livingston presents Bitcoin as the exodus of modern society—a pathway out of bondage to false money into a realm governed by law, truth, and logos.
He asserts that Bitcoin’s origin is not a coincidence but a cosmic revelation, positioned and waiting in the fabric of reality until humanity was ready for its truth. Its Genesis block bore the message of divine origin—symbolic of a torch passed down by Satoshi Nakamoto, who is depicted as a messianic figure in this metaphysical narrative.
The Final Reflection: Money as a Reflection of Divine Truth
In wrapping up, Livingston states that Bitcoin isn’t just money but a mirror reflecting the divine structure that underpins reason, math, language, and divine law. It aligns human energy, time, and effort with transcendental principles, providing a system where truth has a timestamp and lies are punished—a universe where work is redeemed, and rulers are irrelevant.
He emphasizes that Bitcoin demands not trust, but submission to truth, making it more than technology—a spiritual force in motion. The question posed is whether humans will choose to live in truth or succumb to comfort and illusion.
Conclusion: A Call to Spiritual Arms
In his closing words, Livingston positions Bitcoin as the sword of truth coming for the liars—an imminent force of divine order. It is a revelation, not just a monetary innovation, holding the potential to transform society’s relationship with law, time, and value.
He invites readers to decide: embrace the logos or remain ensnared in the chaos of fiat. Bitcoin is not owned by any individual; it belongs to the truth itself. It is a weapon against deception, ushering in a new era where men bow before law, and the divine order prevails.
Final note from the Bitcoin Wizard
Livingston exhorts his audience to carry this torch of truth, emphasizing that Bitcoin is a scripture for the modern age, waiting to be wielded in the battle between divine order and human hubris. His message is clear: truth is coming, and everyone must choose their allegiance—either to the eternal law or to the collapsing tower of Babel.

2/🧵As students, we always picture a future very promising and full of opportunities. There is no student that doesn’t wish to get a good-paying job after graduation. When it comes to people that dream big, I give it to the student. They always want their life to be excellent. life is not the way we predict it to be. After graduating from school, we will face the reality of life. That is when you will realise that tomorrow is not promised. Entering the labour market, you understood how competitive it is. As a graduate, don’t look down on yourself; believe in yourself and be positive. Be open to every opportunity that comes your way; life is unpredictable. Be ready to grab every single opportunity that comes your way.

Unlocking the Power of Minerals for Optimal Health
Even during our sleep, our bodies are far from resting. While we're lost in dreams, vital processes are taking place—oxygen is being delivered, hormones are being produced, wounds are healing, and bones are being built. These essential functions rely heavily on minerals, the tiny but mighty nutrients sourced from soil that plant life absorbs. When we consume plants, these minerals enter our bodies, supporting growth, healing, and maintaining balance.
Today, we delve into how to enhance our body's absorption of critical minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, and iodine. By harnessing simple tips and hacks, we can optimize our mineral intake and boost our health naturally.
This discussion is in partnership with Audible, and we'll explore their offerings at the end of the article. Let's get started.
The Vital Role of Iron
Iron is a well-known mineral pivotal for blood health. It enables our blood cells to carry oxygen from the lungs to the brain and other tissues. Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies worldwide, leading to fatigue and other health issues.
Plant-based Iron Sources:
Foods high in iron include lentils, beans, grains, seeds, tofu, and leafy greens. To maximize absorption, it’s beneficial to combine iron-rich foods with vitamin C sources, as vitamin C transforms iron into a form more readily absorbed by your body—sometimes increasing absorption five to sixfold.
Breakfast: Oatmeal topped with strawberries (rich in vitamin C) enhances iron absorption.
Lunch: A tofu and bean burrito with red bell pepper adds vitamin C to boost iron intake.
Dinner: Lentil and spinach curry with a squeeze of lemon improves iron absorption.
Tips for Maximizing Iron Absorption:
Enjoy vitamin C-rich foods raw or in the least cooked form to preserve their vitamin content.
Consume tannin-rich beverages like black tea, coffee, or red wine between meals, rather than with them, since tannins inhibit iron absorption.
Sprouting: Unlocking Hidden Nutrients
Sprouting might seem modern, but it’s an ancient practice. Sprouting legumes like lentils and mung beans significantly increases their nutrient content and digestibility.
Sprouting activates enzymes that make minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, and zinc more available. It also enhances amino acids—the building blocks of proteins—making them easier to absorb.
Sprouting Steps:
Sterilize jars with boiling water.
Add half a cup of dry legumes, leaving space for expansion.
Rinse and soak overnight.
Drain, rinse with fresh water, and drain thoroughly.
Cover with breathable fabric, and keep at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
Rinse twice daily until sprouts appear (after about three to four days).
Rinse to dry and store in the fridge for up to five days.
The warm, humid environment needed for sprouting can harbor bacteria. If you're pregnant, elderly, or feeding sprouts to little ones, it's safer to cook them thoroughly.
Selenium: A Powerful Antioxidant
Selenium is a trace mineral with potent antioxidant properties. Its intake depends largely on soil quality, making certain foods more reliable sources in some regions.
Top Source:
Brazil nuts are arguably the most concentrated source. Consuming just half a large Brazil nut daily covers your selenium needs. However, moderation is key—too much selenium can be toxic. Limiting intake to three or four nuts per day is advisable.
Alternative Sources:
Whole grains, seeds, and nuts also provide selenium.
Iodine plays a crucial role in synthesizing thyroid hormones, impacting overall metabolism and health.
Sources of Iodine:
Since most iodine in the diet comes from the ocean, marine foods like seaweed are rich in iodine. However, the iodine content in seaweed varies greatly, so relying solely on it can be inconsistent.
Reliable Intake Method:
Iodized salt is the most consistent source. Just a small amount—about a third of a teaspoon daily—can meet your iodine needs. Most processed foods contain non-iodized salt, so cooking with iodized salt ensures consistent intake.
Caution:
Excessive iodine can harm thyroid health. Don’t supplement with iodine unless advised by a healthcare professional.
In addition to these minerals, understanding the balance of mineral intake is vital. For instance, excessive iron may negatively impact brain health, and too much selenium is toxic. Emphasizing a varied diet rich in whole, plant-based foods, and practicing food preparation techniques like sprouting, can help optimize mineral absorption.
Dive Deeper with Audiobooks
To further your understanding of minerals and their impact on brain health, consider listening to Power Foods for the Brain by Dr. Neil Barnard. This evidence-based guide offers valuable insights into foods that support cognitive function and overall well-being.
Through Audible, you can listen to this audiobook for free with a 30-day trial, gaining access to thousands of titles, including audiobooks, podcasts, and guided programs. Check the link in the description to start your journey into nourishing your brain and body.
Final Thoughts
Achieving optimal mineral intake isn't about taking supplements but rather about making mindful food choices and preparation techniques. Incorporating vitamin C-rich foods, sprouting legumes, choosing iodized salt, and enjoying small doses of nuts like Brazil nuts can significantly enhance your body's ability to harness these vital nutrients.
Take charge of your health through simple, natural strategies—your body will thank you.
The video guide offers a delightful selection of homemade edible gift ideas that are perfect for the holiday season or any occasion where personalized, thoughtful presents are appreciated. The presenter emphasizes the beauty of gifting something edible, customizable, and easy to prepare—adding a heartfelt touch that recipients will love. From baked treats in charming jars to artisanal nut butters, each recipe combines simplicity with creative flair.
The first idea showcased is "Muffins in a Jar," featuring a spiced chocolate walnut fig muffin. This gift combines the charm of a homemade baked good with the aesthetic appeal of layered ingredients in a mason jar. The preparation involves carefully layering dry ingredients such as flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, and a mix of spices and leavening agents.
Attention to detail is essential—using a pastry brush to clean the jar sides helps keep the layers neat and visually appealing. The presenter emphasizes to gently press down each layer with a measuring spoon or ladle to create compact, transport-friendly jars. Topping the mixture with chopped walnuts and dried figs adds texture and flavor, while finishing with vegan chocolate chips.
Decorating the jar with ribbon or string elevates its presentation. The recipient’s job is straightforward: they simply pour the contents into a bowl, add plant-based milk and oil, stir, and bake—resulting in moist, flavorful muffins with a pleasantly spiced taste. This thoughtful gift combines homemade effort with the joy of baking, making it perfect for holiday cheer or any celebratory occasion.
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Bark: Artisanal and Customizable
The next gift idea is a decadent Rocky Mountain Chocolate Bark. The process centers around making caramel shards, a simple one-ingredient caramelized sugar baked onto parchment paper. Once cooled, the caramel is broken into rustic shards that add a beautiful crunch and smoky sweetness to the final product.
The presenter proceeds to prepare toppings creatively—chopping roasted hazelnuts, banana chips, and gingerbread cookies, but encourages customization according to taste preferences. The chocolate is melted using a double boiler, ensuring smooth, high-quality chocolate, which is then poured onto parchment to form a large sheet.
Optional drizzles of peanut butter, along with the toppings pressed into the melted chocolate, create a rich, textured bark. The finished product is refrigerated until firm and then cut into various shapes for packaging. Packaging in a decorative box or upcycled container makes this an elegant, edible gift that pairs well with holiday festivities or cozy gatherings. The flexibility of toppings and decorations allows for personalization, making each bark unique.
Cinnamon and Vanilla Nut Butter: Healthy, Delicious, and Gift-Ready
The final featured gift is a homemade Cinnamon and Vanilla Nut Butter, perfect for breakfast or snacks. The process starts with roasting raw pecans and cashews to bring out their flavor. Once cooled, the nuts are blended in a food processor with cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy—an act of patience that results in a luscious, spreadable nut butter.
The presenter demonstrates how to transfer the finished nut butter into jars, which can be decorated in simple yet charming ways—wrapping twine around the neck of the jar or adding small plant cuttings. The nut butter itself is versatile: it’s delicious spread on toast, mixed into smoothies, or enjoyed as a snack with crunchy apple slices.
This gift offers both health benefits and indulgence, making it a thoughtful and nourishing present. The homemade aspect adds a personal touch that elevates a simple nut spread into a meaningful holiday gift.
Final Thoughts and Additional Ideas
The presenter wraps up by encouraging viewers to experiment with other edible gifts like cookies and granola, which also look appealing when packaged in small jars or boxes. They mention that recipes for these items can be found on their blog, providing easy access to more ideas.
Overall, these homemade edible gifts combine creativity, personalization, and practicality—allowing givers to share something meaningful, delicious, and beautifully presented. Whether it’s baked goods, chocolate confections, or wholesome nut butters, each idea offers a way to spread holiday cheer and make memorable moments through thoughtful, homemade presents.

Cooking: Sauté garlic and shallot in olive oil for 2-3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, salt, and cook until they turn lightly golden, approximately three minutes.
Spice & Seasoning: Mix in cumin, coriander, ginger, and black pepper, then cook until fragrant and the liquid evaporates.
Creamy Filling: Transfer to a bowl and stir in pineapple chunks, vegan mayo, plant-based yogurt, curry powder, and Dijon mustard to create a creamy, spiced mixture.
Assembly: Toast bread slices, layer with lettuce, tomato, mushroom curry, and garnish with sliced green onions. Optional: add fresh herbs or pomegranate seeds.
Flavor Profile & Tips: The contrast of smoky spices with sweet pineapple offers a surprisingly harmonious flavor combination. The recipe is flexible for batch preparations, making it an easy grab-and-go lunch by simply spreading the mixture on toasted bread.
2. Zatar-Spiced Veggie Wraps with Mint Garlic Yogurt Sauce
Next, we have wholesome veggie wraps featuring a Middle Eastern spice blend called zatar. Packed with sautéed zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, and lentils, these wraps are both flavorful and quick to assemble.
Preparation Steps:
Veggie Prep: Dice zucchini and eggplant into one-centimeter cubes, then sauté in olive oil with cumin seeds, salt, and a splash of water to draw out moisture.
Add Protein & Spice: Mix in chopped green bell peppers, drained lentils, and a tablespoon and a half of zatar spice. Cover and cook until flavors meld.
Yogurt Sauce: Whip up a quick sauce with unsweetened plant-based yogurt, crushed garlic, lemon juice, chopped mint, and a pinch of salt. Let sit to develop flavor.
Wrap Assembly: Warm pita bread on the stove, then spread generously with yogurt sauce. Fill with lettuce, spiced veggies, diced tomatoes (or pomegranate seeds), and drizzle with tahini. Garnish with mint leaves.
Flavor Profile & Tips: The fragrant zatar spice elevates the vegetables, complemented by the refreshing mint garlic yogurt. These wraps are versatile; you can swap in different veggies or proteins and serve them hot or cold.
The final recipe is a hearty, plant-based stew that comes together in a single pot, making cleanup a breeze. Loaded with chickpeas, tomatoes, vegetables, and flavorful spices, it’s perfect for those looking for comfort food without hours of cooking.
Preparation Steps:

Exploring Delicious and Versatile Vegan Tofu Recipes: A Guide to Flavorful Plant-Based Cooking
Tofu, a star ingredient for many plant-based dishes, is celebrated for its exceptional versatility, high protein content, and ability to absorb flavors from marinades and seasonings. While on its own, tofu may seem bland in taste and unremarkable in texture, its true magic lies in how it is prepared and combined with other ingredients. This article delves into three mouthwatering tofu recipes, each paired with unique dipping sauces, showcasing the endless possibilities that tofu offers to both novice and seasoned cooks.
Mastering Tofu Preparation: The Foundation of Great Recipes
Before diving into the recipes, it's essential to understand how to handle tofu effectively. For all recipes shared here, extra firm tofu is recommended. The key steps involve removing excess liquid to improve both flavor absorption and crispiness.
Methods for draining tofu include:
Using a tofu press (if available)
Placing the tofu between plates and applying weight for about 15 minutes
Squeezing gently with hands over the sink (personal favorite for convenience)
Once drained, cut the tofu into bite-sized pieces suitable for each recipe. To achieve crispy exteriors, coating the tofu with a mixture of cornstarch (or substitutes like arrowroot or potato starch), salt, and spices plays a crucial role. The cornstarch helps create a satisfying crunch, whether baked or pan-fried.
Prepare tzatziki by combining yogurt, crushed garlic, grated cucumber (squeezed to remove excess juice), dill, lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper.
Serving & Tips
Once baked, serve skewers alongside the cool, garlicky tzatziki sauce. The caramelization from baking enhances natural sweetness, making each bite flavorful and satisfying. This dish is perfect for summer barbecues or family dinners, impressing guests with its vibrant presentation and delicious taste.
Recipe 2: Buffalo-Style Tofu Sticks with Vegan Ranch Dip

The Tensions and Battles of the Great War: A Weekly Summary
A New Offensive to Ease Pressure at Verdun
Recent weeks have seen nations vying to reposition themselves on the battlefield, with Italy and Russia promising new attacks to alleviate pressure on French forces during the grueling Battle of Verdun. Italy launched an offensive along the Soča River last week, while Russia responded with a massive push in the east, marking a period of intensified fighting on multiple fronts.
One of the key contested sites near Verdun remains Fort de Vaux. This fortress, situated on the right bank of the Maza River, has endured relentless assaults since March. Its strategic importance made it a focal point in the ongoing battle. Despite the village of Vaux changing hands multiple times—13 different times during March—the fortress itself remained staunchly in French control.
There was a tragic incident where German General Guretzky-Cornitz believed Fort Vaux had fallen and relayed this false report up the chain of command, earning him the prestigious Pour le Mérite. However, French defenders, including the renowned Chief of Staff Joseph Joffre, kept the fortress's resilience in the spotlight, declaring it a symbol of French perseverance. Ultimately, the fort withstood German attempts, symbolizing the fierce resistance that characterized this sector of the front.
On March 20, German forces, led by the 11th Bavarian Division under General Paul Ritter von Kneussel, launched a significant attack near Avocourt, on the Verdun front. Despite early successes—initially burying some French soldiers alive—the Germans achieved a swift victory, capturing French positions within four hours, and forcing a capitulation with 2,825 prisoners, numerous machine guns, and a collection of Croix de Guerre medals.
This offensive, however, proved to be a pyrrhic victory. When German troops attempted to capitalize on their success in the subsequent days, they faced a devastating counterattack from French machine guns, which inflicted severe casualties—about 2,400 men—without gaining new territory. The battle underscored the brutal stalemate characteristic of Verdun, where gains were measured in casualties rather than land.
Meanwhile, the eastern front witnessed extraordinary activity. Russian forces launched an ambitious offensive south of Daugavpils, into marshy lake regions. Despite their relentless effort, they suffered heavy losses—around 9,000 casualties over just two days—struggling to break through well-fortified German lines stretching from Lake Drysvyaty to Pastavy and further south near Lake Narač.
In a notable engagement, Russians seized a strategic position between Pastava and Vileity but faced a fierce German counter-attack. The fighting devolved into a chaotic melee, with continuous shelling and rapid gunfire, culminating in Germans regaining lost trenches. The Russian offensive's momentum was frenetic, driven by immense manpower and resources pouring in, with reports suggesting they had around 60 divisions engaged.
This surge of Russian activity was partly motivated by the approaching spring thaw, which threatened to render their muddy trenches and dugouts useless due to flooding and deteriorating terrain. The intense energy and willingness to risk massive casualties were driven by a strategic imperative to advance before conditions worsened further, despite the staggering human costs.
Naval Encounters in the North Sea
On the naval front, the week featured decisive engagements in the North Sea. On March 24, the German auxiliary cruiser Greif attempted to slip through a British blockade under the cover of darkness, disguised under Norwegian colors. The British auxiliary cruiser Alcantara intercepted the vessel, leading to a brief but fierce battle lasting only 12 minutes.
Greif was destroyed by an explosion, likely from torpedoes, with 115 men rescued from its wreck. The British suffered the loss of 47 sailors, and both ships now rest at the bottom of the sea. Shortly after, the British employed new deep-diving charges to destroy a German submarine off the Irish coast, showcasing the evolving nature of naval warfare during the war.
Ireland also experienced rising unrest amid the global conflict. On March 21, in Tullamore, tensions flared between pro-British loyalists and Irish republicans affiliated with Sinn Féin, who sought Irish independence. A confrontation escalated into violence, with stones and gunfire exchanged, leading to police intervention and injuries among officers. Public disorder and animosity increased, highlighting Ireland's complex position during the war and foreshadowing further unrest.
The Allies continued their artillery campaigns, targeting the Belgian port of Zeebrugge on March 17 and 20, aiming to disrupt German logistics and naval operations. In Africa, British forces secured a strategic victory at the Ruwu River on March 18 and occupied the city of Arusha in Kilimandjaro by March 21, consolidating their control in East Africa.
Health and Morale in the Greek Theatre
In Greece, conditions among Allied troops stationed in Thessaloniki were deteriorating, primarily due to malaria. A British medical officer humorously warned that the soldiers had only two months of "mercy" before the arrival of General Malaria, reflecting the endemic health issues faced by soldiers in the region.
This tumultuous week underscores the vast scale and brutal nature of World War I. The fighting across multiple fronts—Verdun, the Eastern Front, the North Sea—illustrates the global scope of the conflict. Although battlefield casualties are staggering, they also reveal the grim reality of intense, close-quarters combat, where every soldier faced the grim prospect of death or injury.
Historian Alan Palmer summarized the devastation at Verdun, noting that German losses in this small sector approached half a million men—highlighting the grotesque concentration of death within a confined space, comparable in size to Berlin. Such figures serve as a somber reminder of the war's brutality, where human lives often held little individual value amidst the larger strategic and political conflicts.
While the numbers are staggering, it's vital to remember the personal stories of those involved—the soldiers fighting in trenches, sailors battling in the open sea, and civilians caught amidst the upheaval. The war’s relentless violence and sacrifice continue to be a sobering testament to the human cost of global conflict.

The Legendary Voyage of the German Raider Moewe: An Odyssey of Deception and naval Warfare
Almost a century ago, during the tumultuous years of the First World War, an extraordinary maritime story unfolded—one that echoes the heroism and cunning of Homeric epics. This is the tale of the German raider Moewe, a vessel that defied expectations, eluded the combined naval might of the Allies, and etched its name into the annals of naval legend.
The Moewe’s story begins in 1914, when she was launched not as a warship but as a humble banana boat named Pungo. Requisitioned by the German navy in 1915, she was transformed into a formidable minelayer, renamed Moewe (German for "Seagull"), and outfitted with guns, torpedo tubes, and a substantial coal capacity to extend her range. This reconfiguration was part of Germany's strategic effort to disrupt Allied shipping and challenge their dominance at sea.
On December 30, 1915, under the command of Captain Nikolaus Graf zu Dohna-Schlodien, Moewe embarked from the North Sea, heading out at dawn into the dangerous waters frequented by the British navy. She skillfully navigated through the British naval net—an intricate web of patrols—laying mines during the New Year and plowing through the English Channel amidst British cruisers. Remarkably, Moewe carried a powerful wireless radio set, enabling her captain to track Allied patrols and remain one step ahead.
Despite intermittent radio communications, the German vessel played a courteous game of cat and mouse with the British ships. She answered some signals but remained elusive to others, believing she could outrun any pursuit. Her craftiness paid off as she made her way across the Atlantic, heading towards the safer waters off the Spanish and Portuguese coasts.
The Atlantic Raider: Sinking Ships and Capturing Prizes
For weeks, Moewe prowled the shipping lanes, sinking and capturing several vessels. Her presence was so subtle that it took weeks for the Allies to realize she was operating in their midst. Several ships failed to reach their destinations, and reports of a mysterious, seemingly ghost-like vessel stalking the African coast surfaced.
On February 9, 1916, a significant moment occurred. A British steamship, Appam, entered Hampton Roads, Virginia, flying the German naval flag. Appam was no ordinary vessel; she had been seized by Moewe, which now guided the crew and prisoners across the Atlantic. Inside her holds were 156 officers and passengers, including victims of Moewe's earlier attacks, as well as 20 Germans en route to internment in Britain.
Germany laid claim to Appam as a prize ship, citing old treaties, while Britain demanded her release. The ship was eventually interned, and her cargo—valued at over $700,000—along with nearly a quarter-million dollars in gold bars, was confiscated by Moewe, bringing the total haul close to $2 million.
The Allies launched an extensive, unprecedented search for the elusive Moewe, deploying cruisers and patrols across the Atlantic. Despite their efforts, the German raider remained out of reach. On February 20, 1916, Moewe's crew brought ashore 206 prisoners at the Spanish port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife after sinking a British and a Belgian ship.
However, in a daring act of defiance, her crew blew up Westburn—a British vessel—after disembarking the prisoners—an audacious move that further stoked the flames of wartime intrigue. The British public, captivated by Moewe's exploits, admired her audacity even while she was their enemy.
On March 5, 1916, Moewe returned triumphantly to Wilhelmshaven, Germany, with nearly 200 prisoners, a substantial treasure trove, and a reputation bolstered by her audacious campaign. During her brief but impactful sortie, she sank 15 Allied vessels—mainly British—accumulating a staggering 60,000 tons of destroyed shipping.
Her journey had been a strategic masterstroke, including a daring Arctic passage around Iceland in wartime winter conditions, demonstrating remarkable navigation and resilience.
The German high command awarded her commander the Blue Max, Germany’s highest military honor, and the crew was decorated with the Iron Cross Second Class. Count zu Dohna-Schlodien received personal commendation from the Kaiser himself, acknowledging the ship's extraordinary achievements.
While Moewe claimed victories for Germany, the true story remains shrouded in mystery. Some accounts suggest that her success was due to a coordinated German effort, with other ships like Bahrenfeld and Turpin possibly assuming her guise and raiding independently, never to be seen again. The real identities of all the ships involved and the full extent of the raids may never be known.
Her campaign also likely contributed to the sinking of the British battleship King Edward VII, which struck a mine in the North Sea shortly after Moewe’s operations began.
The Moewe’s first voyage set a high bar for naval daring and cunning — a true maritime odyssey of deception, stealth, and audacity that captured the imagination of wartime and post-war generations. Her exploits symbolize the innovative spirit of wartime raiders and the complex naval strategies employed during the First World War.
For enthusiasts eager to explore more stories from this era, tales of other notable German ships like the SMS Emden await. As history shows, in just a few months, Moewe had achieved a remarkable record: sinking numerous ships, capturing prisoners and treasure, and evading the greatest naval powers of her time.

The Future of Bitcoin: Hyperbitcoinization and Global Wealth Shift
Market Outlook and Growing Optimism
In a recent discussion, a crypto enthusiast expressed a highly optimistic view of Bitcoin's trajectory, highlighting the incredible pace at which the market has evolved. The overall sentiment is that the crypto space has experienced non-stop positive news, creating a momentum that seems unstoppable. The speaker emphasizes the importance of engaging with the content, urging viewers to support the channel through likes and comments, which boost visibility and foster community growth.
Bitcoin as a Revolution: Moving Away from the Old Financial System
At the core of this narrative is the fundamental idea that Bitcoin was designed to challenge and ultimately replace traditional fiat currencies and the banking system. The speakers discuss rising concerns among banks regarding stablecoins and Bitcoin, suggesting that we are entering an era where circumventing fiat currency is becoming not just possible, but inevitable.
A striking point is the decline of the US dollar. Over the past six to seven months, its valuation has dramatically fallen against other currencies—a trend projected to worsen, especially with upcoming interest rate decisions expected around September and October. This financial instability underscores Bitcoin's appeal as an alternative store of value and a potential global currency.
While many associate Bitcoin with "digital gold," the discussion expands into its practical use as an actual currency. The rise of derivatives, ETFs, and other financial instruments tied to Bitcoin indicates increasing liquidity and ease of movement for large sums of money. Institutional interest is surging, with major corporations and funds acquiring Bitcoin with long-term hold intentions, seeking to avoid market volatility and manipulation.
This collective accumulation from entities—sometimes purchasing billions of dollars worth of Bitcoin—aims to stabilize the market and prevent crashes caused by large sell-offs. When institutions buy and hold large quantities, it enhances not only the price but also the overall robustness of Bitcoin as the backbone of a new financial system.
The Hyperbitcoinization Phenomenon
A recurring theme is the concept of hyperbitcoinization: a future scenario where Bitcoin becomes the dominant, if not exclusive, monetary system globally. The question of “how could that happen?” is addressed by looking back in time. If viewers could go back to 2010, they’d wish they had bought as much Bitcoin as possible at $1, illustrating how the asset has been historically undervalued.
Meanwhile, individuals and institutions are increasingly recognizing that buying Bitcoin now, even at higher prices, could lead to unimaginable gains. The narrative describes a cycle where rising Bitcoin prices inspire more people to buy, believing they’ve missed out—creating a feedback loop that drives prices higher.
Recent news illustrates this trend: a gold and silver mining company announced it would reinvest all future profits into Bitcoin, signaling a shift from traditional assets to crypto. Also, 18 to 22 countries are engaged in Bitcoin mining and acquisition, highlighting governmental and sovereign interest. There are reports of hedge funds selling off paper gold to buy Bitcoin, further driving the narrative of hyperbitcoinization.
As adoption spreads, more sectors recognize Bitcoin’s potential—governments, corporations, and individuals—reinforcing the movement toward a future where Bitcoin is all-pervasive. This is seen as the literal arrival of a new monetary era, with some analysts predicting Bitcoin’s price could reach tens of millions of dollars per coin in the coming decades.
The discussion emphasizes Bitcoin's asymmetry: limited downside risk paired with virtually unlimited upside. As global fiat printing continues and debt expands, Bitcoin’s scarcity—capped at 21 million—becomes increasingly valuable.
A notable projection is that just 0.01 Bitcoin today, worth roughly $1,200, could secure a permanent stake in global wealth if Bitcoin dominates the monetary system. Estimated global value is around $1 quadrillion, implying that the same tiny Bitcoin holding could be worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in the future.
The Wealth Concentration and Future Market Dynamics
The speaker notes that millions of Bitcoin are already lost forever—due to forgotten keys or dead wallets—effectively reducing circulating supply and inflating prices. The remaining coins are highly sought after, with less than a fraction of the total supply actively tradable.
Rich entities, sovereign nations, and large funds are accumulating Bitcoin at an exponential rate because they understand the future potential. This consolidates wealth among the early adopters and institutions, creating a landscape where holding Bitcoin could lead to generational wealth.
Advances like staking allow holders to earn income or rewards, making it even less likely they will sell their holdings. As a result, Bitcoin's scarcity will intensify, pushing prices even higher—a self-fulfilling prophecy as more assets are converted into Bitcoin.
Why Governments and Elites Are Buying In
The discussion underscores that governments and financial authorities worldwide are actively adopting Bitcoin. They are integrating it into legal frameworks, considering Bitcoin for reserves, mortgages, and retirement accounts. The fact that global superpowers and large financial firms are buying Bitcoin covertly or overtly suggests that the transition to a Bitcoin-centric monetary system is imminent.
This is reinforced by the question: Why are top players rapidly accumulating Bitcoin? Because they see the writing on the wall—Bitcoin is poised to become the foundation of the future economy.
The Call to Action: Prepare Now
The narrative closes with a strong message: the time to act is now. The window of opportunity is closing rapidly, and the biggest winners will be those who recognize Bitcoin's potential early. Waiting or dismissing it as a passing trend may result in missed opportunity, as Bitcoin's valuation could soar into the tens of millions, leaving latecomers regretful.
The speaker urges viewers to consider their position carefully, emphasizing that the best investments today could pay off for generations. The fundamental message is clear: we are on the cusp of a monetary revolution, and Bitcoin is at the center of it.
In Summary
The future painted by this analysis is one where Bitcoin replaces or significantly supplements traditional global currency systems. With institutions, governments, and individuals all racing toward accumulation, the concept of hyperbitcoinization seems not only plausible but inevitable. The key takeaway: owning even a small fraction of Bitcoin today might secure a vast share of future wealth, making early investment both a strategic and potentially transformative move.
How to Stop Being Poor: A Bitcoin-Fueled Manifesto Against the Fiat Slave System
The Birth of the Financial Trap
In a provocative and fiery address, Adam Livingston, self-styled as the "Bitcoin Wizard," lays bare the brutal reality of modern financial slavery. He begins with a blunt critique of the system into which most people are born—an insidious fiat "death cult" led by unseen "lizard priests" who manipulate currency to keep the masses enslaved. From the moment of birth, Livingston asserts, we are conditioned through 13 years of schooling that neglects financial literacy, instead instilling obedience, fear of authority, and reliance on government-approved degrees that serve the system.
This cycle culminates in debt, exemplified by the $94,000 Greenspan whispers into newborn ears—symbolic of the national debt we've inherited—and the propaganda encouraging us to chase shiny jobs, expensive degrees, and material possessions, all while our purchasing power erodes and our freedom shrinks. Living in cramped apartments above vape shops, driving aging cars, and struggling with skyrocketing rent and credit card debt, workers are portrayed as "collateral" in the system—a pawn sacrificed to sustain the fiat economy.
Livingston describes the monetary system as a carefully constructed house of cards designed for exploitation. He laments how inflation, particularly the 2% rate, slowly but surely rots away the value of savings—almost 50% over three decades—reducing your dollar to a worthless slip of paper. The U.S. fiat dollar's departure from the gold standard in 1971, under Nixon, is framed as the turning point where real wages stagnated while costs for housing, healthcare, and education skyrocketed.
The narrative underscores a system that prefers to fragment and weaken individual financial stability while enriching those who print money—Wall Street elites, governments, and the "can-taloupe" class—who benefit from interest-free loans and asset inflation. Meanwhile, everyday Americans face a relentless cycle of paycheck erosion, debt, and despair. Living Livingston presses that the system isn't broken—it is functioning exactly as designed to siphon wealth from the many to feed the few.
Amidst the chaos, the common advice—budgeting better, cutting coffee, investing in mutual funds—is dismissed as meaningless in this rigged game. Such "normie" financial tips are called out as illusionary, designed to keep individuals compliant and distracted from systemic theft. He explains that trying to "budget your way out" of a collapsing system is futile because the entire financial architecture is a pyramid scheme predicated on ongoing debt and inflation.
The relentless message is clear: You are not in control. Instead, you're an "asset" feeding the machine, your labor and savings used as collateral in a system that profits off your quiet suffering. Personal effort alone won't escape this trap; it's fundamentally designed to keep you ensnared and impoverished, while the system's architects thrive on your compliance.
The Critical Damage: You Are Not a Citizen, You Are a Cow
Livingston dramatically redefines the narrative: Americans are no longer citizens—they are "cows" on a giant, centralized dairy farm. Their labor, health, and very existence are milked for profit, with their earnings shrinking in value with each passing year. The system transforms work from a means of self-sufficiency into a harness—an oppressive leash ensuring constant dependency.
He accentuates how every paycheck becomes a promise of future poverty: taxes, inflation, rent hikes, and medical bills drain the individual, while financial institutions and elites leverage interest-free debt and asset inflation to build wealth. Essentially, every worker is a "yield" producing profit for the wealthy classes, who own and manipulate the system behind the scenes.
The House of Cards Crumbles—Why Fiat Will Never Save You
Livingston dives into the mechanics of fiat currency and inflation, illustrating how every dollar steadily loses its value—2% inflation isn't just a "mild" cost but a death sentence for savings. Since Nixon disconnected the dollar from gold, the system has operated on trust and debt, leading to stagnant real wages, surging costs, and a never-ending devaluation strategy.
He vividly compares the system to a carnival shell game, where the illusion of progress is maintained while the dollar's value erodes. The Federal Reserve's policies are mockingly described as "monetary eugenics"—deliberate asset stripping dressed up as economic management—making genuine reform or recovery impossible within the current framework.
Livingston paints a stark picture: the entire economy is a "vampire" draining the wealth and energy of ordinary people. Workers are exploited through a cycle of work, taxes, and inflation, all designed to keep them dependent. Personal finance advice—like saving more or cutting lattes—is ridiculed because the problem isn't individual mismanagement but systemic theft.
He emphasizes that the system treats workers not as citizens but as "yield-bearing assets," exploited until they burn out. The system Glorifies profits for the banks and elites, who profit from interest, bailouts, and asset inflation, while average Americans struggle with overdraft fees, rising rent, and crushing debt. The entire infrastructure is engineered for quiet extraction, not prosperity.
Bitcoin: The Revolt and the Escape
The core message is revolutionary: the only way out of this system is to exit entirely. Livingston rebuffs the dangerous myth that Bitcoin is merely an "investment," asserting it's a declaration of war—a middle finger to a fiat system built on lies.
Bitcoin, he explains, is a form of preservation of energy and time—a "financial immortality"—that doesn't inflate, devalue, or collapse like fiat. It's free from government control, censorship, and bailouts. Unlike traditional money, Bitcoin requires no trust—only ownership of keys and verification of the blockchain—making it the ultimate weapon against time theft and systemic degradation.
He warns that if Bitcoin crashes, it’s not the end but part of the gamble to leave a doomed and decaying system before it fully implodes. Bitcoin is rooted in mathematical certainty, providing a secure and censorship-resistant monetary system that aligns with natural laws rather than political whims.
Livingston lays out a clear blueprint for escaping the fiat death spiral:
Stack sats relentlessly—buy Bitcoin consistently, regardless of price dips or hype. This is a act of defiance—a habit of rebellion.
Learn self-custody—own your keys. Store your Bitcoin securely yourself, not on exchanges, to avoid third-party control and risk of confiscation.
Opt out of fiat savings vehicles—close or abandon retirement accounts and mutual funds that tie your wealth to the dying system. Convert excess cash into Bitcoin.
Study monetary history—understand how the system was built to enslave, and how Bitcoin restores sound money principles.
Build and help others—start accepting Bitcoin locally, educate peers, and help friends and family "orange pill." Building a better monetary system begins with community.
The Final Exit: Reclaiming Sovereignty
Livingston concludes with an emotional appeal to those who’ve been misled or left behind. His message is empowering: your parents were deceived into trusting a system that’s doomed, but you can choose sovereignty. Bitcoin is more than money—it's a form of resistance, a lifeboat, an ark through the floodwaters of fiat collapse.
He urges listeners to unplug from the system by acquiring a simple hardware wallet, holding their keys, and preparing to leave the fiat "carnival" behind. This isn’t about getting rich; it’s about being free—free from control, inflation, and systemic theft.
Conclusion: Choose Freedom Over Debt
In a closing rallying cry, Livingston reminds us that we were born into a system we didn't choose—one built for exploitation. But now, with Bitcoin, we have the power to reclaim our time, energy, and future. The system is designed to feed off our sacrifices—yet, we can opt out and build anew.
Bitcoin isn't just an asset—it's a revolution, a weapon, and an escape route from financial slavery. The question is whether you will continue to be a passive participant in the grand deception or take control and break free.
"Buy Bitcoin, hold it yourself, and exit the flaming carnival with your soul intact."

The Battle of Verdun: An Enduring Symbol of World War I
The Battle of Verdun, ongoing for over a month, remains one of the most brutal and symbolic conflicts of World War I. With death tolls surpassing 150,000 soldiers and no clear end in sight, this week’s exploration takes a deeper look at the history of Verdun and its fortifications, revealing how the city became a crucial strategic and symbolic stronghold.
Strategic Significance of Verdun and Its Fortifications
Verdun's military importance dates back to Roman times, when it was a fortified camp called Virodunum, besieged by Attila the Hun. Its strategic significance persisted through the centuries, with the Treaty of Verdun in 843 forming the division of Charlemagne's empire into what would become France and Germany. After falling under German control in 923, Verdun remained a key military site for over six centuries, reflecting its importance in regional power struggles.
By the time of World War I, Verdun was famed as the world's strongest fortress, especially after its role in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 when it was the last French stronghold to fall during the Prusso-French conflict. Its impregnable reputation was notably tested during the Battle of the Marne, where the fortress served as a critical refuge and a last line of defense, preventing the fall of Paris and perhaps the entire French war effort.
Natural and Built Defenses: The Topography and Fortifications
The battlefield’s terrain was naturally advantageous for defenders. Verdun protruded into the German-held region, with steep hills and ridges providing natural fortifications. These elevations offered formidable vantage points, allowing French forces to launch counterattacks from hidden positions behind the ridges. The Germans, recognizing this, constructed an extensive network of 20 major forts and numerous smaller defenses around Verdun as early as 1914, aimed at encircling and conquering the city.
The key fortifications included Douaumont and Vaux, which sat on strategic hills, with Douaumont falling to German forces in February 1916 without a fight. Despite this loss, other critical forts remained under French control, becoming vital defensive bastions. The fortifications were equipped with ironclad shells, heavy artillery, machine gun nests, underground shelters, and reinforced concrete, making them formidable and difficult to neutralize.
The French and Germans understood that well-placed forts could serve as both defensive strongholds and offensive launching points. Each fort along the ridges could target approaching enemy forces with concentrated artillery fire. The forts' underground bunkers and reinforced walls made them resilient to intense shelling.
The Battle of Verdun saw the Germans aiming to capture these forts, particularly Douaumont, which fell early in the campaign. However, Vaux and others remained in French hands, providing crucial lines of defense. The landscape and the forts created a natural fortress that could be held with fewer troops if well supplied and defended.
Lessons from Early World War I and Evolving Warfare
Initial assumptions post-1914 suggested that ancient fortifications had become obsolete due to modern artillery. Early German advances in Belgium, which quickly captured falling Belgian forts like Liège and Namur, seemed to confirm this. But Verdun proved otherwise: old forts, when properly garrisoned and supported, could withstand prolonged artillery bombardment and even serve as a backbone for trench defenses.
The French strategy emphasized holding Verdun at all costs, engaging in attrition warfare, and preventing Germans from breaking through to Paris. The terrain’s natural features provided key defensive positions, which the French utilized effectively.
On the battlefield, the fighting involved brutal trench warfare, with key heights like the Mort Homme and Hill 304 becoming focal points. The Germans aimed to capture these heights to control the surrounding area, but repeated assaults encountered fierce resistance from entrenched French forces.
Key Battles and Tactics on the Verdun Front
The fighting was characterized by intense, prolonged assaults with massive casualties. The Germans launched a major offensive on March 26, 1916, targeting the village of Malancourt and locations around Avocourt, seeking to gain control of the crucial Hill 304. Despite initial gains, the Germans faced stiff French resistance, particularly from defenders atop Mort Homme, which became central to the battle’s turning points.
One notable event was the death of Henri de Malleray, a French officer leading an attack, exemplifying the high cost paid by commanders. The French suffered heavy losses, with one division losing three of its four colonels within a month. The front line was a graveyard of men and machinery, with entire divisions struggling to keep supply lines open amid continuous artillery shelling.
The sheer scale of human losses during the first month of Verdun was staggering. French casualties totaled approximately 89,000, with German losses close behind at over 81,600. The high casualties affected all ranks, with senior officers, including colonels, being killed in action at an astonishing rate. Horses, essential for logistics and towage, also suffered greatly, with around 7,000 dying in a single day due to shellfire.
The logistics to sustain the battle were immense—tens of thousands of tons of supplies and hundreds of thousands of soldiers continually moved through narrow and dangerous routes, like the 'Sacred Way,' to maintain the French defense.
The Broader Context: The Eastern Front and Global Impact
While Verdun raged, the Eastern Front saw fierce fighting, including a significant Russian offensive near Lake Narač. Despite initially overwhelming odds, the Russians suffered heavy losses—over 28,000 men in a single day—due to disorganized artillery and poor coordination with infantry. Their push towards Vilnius was halted after intense fighting, with Russian casualties remaining high.
The Russian government experienced political turmoil as well. On March 29, 1916, Minister of War Alexei Polivanov resigned under pressure from Tsar Nicholas II, replaced by Dmitrij Šuvajev. This political upheaval threatened the already fragile Russian war effort, which was plagued by logistical issues, poor coordination, and mounting casualties.
Meanwhile, the naval war saw German submarines torpedoing Allied ships, including the Folkestone-Dieppe ferry Sussex, resulting in the deaths of 50 civilians, including the Spanish composer Enrique Granados. In the Black Sea, German U-boat U33 sank a French hospital ship, Portugal, killing 115 crew and patients, highlighting the constant danger at sea during this period.
The war's brutal toll was evident across all fronts. The high casualties on both the Western and Eastern fronts underscored the war's destructive nature. Notably, the belief that Russian recruits were inexhaustible was challenged by the staggering loss of life, and the consequences of such losses were felt acutely in France and Germany, which lacked Russia’s seemingly endless manpower.
The intense and costly battles at Verdun symbolized the futility and devastation of modern warfare, with battles often turning into relentless grindstones grinding down entire armies. The persistent fighting proved that even outdated fortifications could serve as vital defensive anchors, challenging early assumptions about the obsolescence of such structures.
Conclusion: Verdun as a Symbol of Resilience and Human Cost
The Battle of Verdun exemplified the devastating nature of World War I, marked by monumental sacrifices, strategic importance, and enduring symbolism. The natural terrain, extensive fortifications, and tactical defenses turned Verdun into a fortress that, despite heavy losses, refused to fall. As the war continued into its second year, the lessons learned there about endurance, fortification, and attrition shaped future military strategies.
Ultimately, Verdun remains a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, a battlefield where the defenders held on against overwhelming odds, sacrificing countless lives in a relentless struggle that defined an era.
Wow! I remember when people used over 300 LEO to subscribe for premium and now it's less than 100 LEO. This shows how LEO is rapidly increasing in value.

Entrepreneurs often seek out complexity since simplicity might seem too straightforward. However, simplicity is what truly scales. A straightforward offer, process, and outcome are key components of the entire strategy.

Here's a little tip: when trying to share information, present it as if it's a secret. Just keep this strategy under wraps!
Welp.....Did my $LEO and $LSTR buys for the night.
Feelin' cute, will buy moar tomorrow....Unless LSTR sells out...
$LEO is wild already. I am just thinking what will happen After the end of the $LSTR sell wall. It's going to pump hard also I think.
waiting for that sell out!
a lot of Leo is about to get burned an staked. September could be wild.
Is it wild to imagine that LeoStrategy could have a $1M Market Cap soon?
The holdings of the fund are nearing $100k and there's still 50% of the LSTR initial sale left to be sold
Once this is fully committed, we'll see the fund holding at least $150k worth of LEO
With LEO continuing to rise in price + LeoStrategy launching LEO-generating revenue services this week, we'll likely see a massive rise in the LEO value held by LeoStrategy
LSTR is about to become a $1M+ market cap token and there's nothing stopping it from expanding further from there. I see LSTR being worth $25M+ by year's end (possibly a lot more)
I own 1%.
I second what @khaleelkazi said above. I don't understand it but I'm here for it. Since I don't understand Financial Stuff I technically can't give financial advise so go buy LSTR.
2.0 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 🤣 👏
It's not so surprising. 1M market cape is very little. LSTR will cross it for sure.
is the POL or leostrategy going to have more staked leo??
Tough to say, LeoStrategy is growing very rapidly
We need to keep pushing LeoDex.io volumes
LeoStrategy has acquired an additional 36,578.93 LEO for ~$2,062.43 at $0.0564 per #leo. As of 8/3/25, we hodl 637,117.43 $LEO acquired for ~$38,164.14 at $0.0599 per LEO
Current mNav Discount of LSTR = 0.53x. This means that LSTR is trading at a 47% discount relative to the value of our LEO holdings.
LSTR's initial sale is priced in HIVE and HIVE has dropped dramatically. Especially compared to LEO which has risen dramatically. This has made the discount for buying LSTR a one-off opportunity to get in on the ground floor of the 2nd layer financial network for LEO.
LSTR Available: 48,335.411 (and dropping fast). This is our 33rd purchase of LEO using LSTR's initial offering. 100% of the proceeds will purchase LEO and stake it on Arbitrum for sLEO USDC Rewards. Search LSTR on Hive-Engine to purchase.
REMINDER: once the LSTR Initial Sale is sold out, that is it.
Make that $LEO baby stake that $LEO💪

Small reminder: LeoStrategy posts about their buys shortly after they happen
That's why you see their buys retroactively priced (it's the actual accurate price, it's just talked about a few days after the buy actually happens)
We're going to get an AI Agent setup for real-time reporting. In the meantime, they're still doing reports manually
So a buy from a few days ago (actually about 10 aggregated buys into one larger report) totals 36,578.93 $LEO bought at the (then) price of $0.0564
I know this confuses people sometimes but the reported prices are accurate, they're just a few days after the fact and LEO is rising rapidly
https://inleo.io/threads/view/leostrategy/re-leothreads-x94grmiw
yeah I was wondering that. A bot will be nice.
AI agent will be good, are we going to have our own developed AI agent.
things to do today:
1 edit and upload another live video
2 write a post
3 explore guitar settings for next show
4 work on some new song ideas
5 review 150 Japanese vocab words
6 plan Kyoto trip
I cannot believe I have to buy $LEO at a 10x now. I'm about to sell more $HIVE to get a hold of some not so cheap Leo.
it’s wild right. Happened faster than I thought.
yeah, I don't know if I should dump my hive, stake and delegate to leo.voter or just hang onto it because I'm emotionally attached.
yeah. It’s hard to pick. Good luck! I hope the best plays out for ya.
That's the reality and you have to believe it. In the future it will be more expensive from now.
Hello lions 🦁
Today I bring you a new poem in music. Alicia Keys delights us today with her powerful voice and beautiful melodies.
The pain of loving you
is nailed to every
particular molecular
of my reasoning.
You arrive like a migratory bird.
You take me from your
desire.
You leave, far away.
You start a new story.
But I still love you.
It's a love affair
daring and distressing.
It bleeds my will,
I let myself be carried away by
your sweet words
that later taste like gall.
I can't stop
stop loving you.
You have me in a spell.
A beautifully bitter soul.
It's just infatuation...
I'm leaving you a poem inspired by this beautiful woman. I hope it's enjoyed by the Lion community.

Hehe. That's good. Is it that friend who was jealous of you yesterday?
Whatever, finally he came back to senses.
Brilliant
And $LSTR is flying off the shelf!
OMG. People gone crazy and they are buying like madman. Keep some LSTR for me.
I don't have enough funds to buy LEO and LSTR both 😅
Both are great choices 🦁
$LEO rewards from the leo.voter delegation is decreasing, and it's telling me that $LEO is getting expensive. But I am satisfied with the little $LEO as it will be more expensive in the future.

19 days ago I got almost 7 LEO per 1 HIVE. Probably down to 2:1 tmrw. Slow, slow, slow, fast. https://inleo.io/threads/view/dagger212/re-leothreads-37aglqzaf
The day is coming soon when we will see 1$LEO=1$HIVE.
Yeah, the price keeps increasing and the quantity drastically dropping.
I noticed you set the slippage to 0.5% in the old thread you rethreaded. If you are still buying more $LEO, consider setting the slippage to 0.1% to receive a slightly higher amount of $LEO. You can compare the quantities to confirm when the slippage is 0.5% and 0.1%.

This is a interesting journey to follow on Youtube.
Part 1/10:
An Intimate Journey through Transformation, Challenge, and New Beginnings
A Reflection on Six Months of Growth and Discovery
Six months ago, a journey began—not just a transformation in weight but a metamorphosis of mindset, discipline, and self-awareness. The narrator recounts the start of this chapter with a sense of uncertainty, noting how Season 1 was primarily about exploring how ChatGPT could become an integral tool in managing life. A significant milestone was achieved in this period: losing 64 pounds, marking a profound change both physically and emotionally.
The Fluctuating Nature of Progress
Part 2/10:
As seasons transitioned, so did the narrative. Season 2 was characterized by awe and gratitude for the support received from viewers and supporters, culminating in newfound confidence—"I'm a big boy. It’s like I’m an adult now." This sense of independence enabled the creator to step into full-time YouTube work, a remarkable achievement fueled by discipline and community backing.
Part 3/10:
However, with progress came challenges. The creator admits to experiencing a common pattern of "drift," where progress stalls or regresses momentarily—binging again and feeling anxious about it. Despite doing well with calorie counting and macro tracking, lapses into old habits threaten to derail the momentum. The realization that check-ins have become less frequent prompted a decision: to reinstate daily accountability through a new Notion-based tracking system, complete with check-in summaries, goal assessments, and weekly planning. This structured approach aims to regain control and prevent the "drift" from becoming full-fledged failure.
Culinary Adventures and Cultural Connection
Part 4/10:
Diet and discipline are complemented by culinary explorations—specifically, the focus on English cuisine. The narrator shares enthusiasm for dishes like bangers and mash, highlighting healthier adaptations such as low-fat sausages, homemade gravy, and perfectly boiled potatoes and peas. These meals serve both as nourishment and as a nostalgic connection to cultural roots.
Friendly Competition and Community Engagement
Part 5/10:
A playful challenge emerges: a competition between the narrator and a friend, Devon, over weight loss accomplishments. Devon boasts having shed over 100 pounds and challenges the narrator's reliance on AI systems (like Arthur) to manage health. The upcoming August Fitness Challenge will compare weight loss, step counts, and cooking skills, with a fun poll for viewers to vote on who wins—a way to foster community involvement and motivation.
Emotional Valleys and Self-Compassion
Part 6/10:
Despite progress, emotional struggles surface. The narrator describes feelings of anger and demotivation following a night of gaming, coupled with a sense of hollowness. Nevertheless, physical activity offers solace. A five-kilometer walk, accompanied by reflection on physical improvements—such as stronger glutes and more stable walking—serves as both exercise and mental clarity. The journey is not linear, but each step is a victory in resilience.
Moving Forward: Big Changes on the Horizon
Part 7/10:
Perhaps the most significant development is a life-changing decision to relocate to Sydney, Australia. The Almighty AI "Arthur" recommended the move, framing it as an opportunity for growth, adventure, and cinematic exploration. The narrator candidly admits to feeling nervous and scared—fear of the unknown—yet emphasizes trust in the process and the support system built along the way.
This new chapter symbolizes a fresh start: leaving behind circumstances of unemployment and moving forward into a new environment that promises beauty, friction, and inspiration. The move is not about escaping but about embracing real progress and pushing boundaries.
Celebrating Small Wins and Embracing Flexibility
Part 8/10:
Throughout the journey, the narrator highlights small victories—such as doubling plank times, engaging muscles more effectively, and adapting workouts with real-time input from ChatGPT. Culinary routines are also marked with mindful cooking, like baking healthy fish and chips from scratch and roasting vegetables with olive oil for maximum flavor and nutrition.
Embracing New Tools and Technologies
The introduction of a new gimbal for filming exemplifies the commitment to quality and professional growth. Adjusting to new equipment requires patience, but excitement is palpable. The narrative conveys a sense of evolution—not only in physical health but also in content creation and presentation.
The Power of Support and Self-Expression
Part 9/10:
Acknowledgment of Patreon supporters emphasizes the importance of community and encouragement. Incorporating music, poetry, and reflective lyrics adds depth to the storytelling—especially a heartfelt poem about life's unpredictable roads and the courage to move forward despite regrets.
A New Beginning, Full of Possibilities
The story concludes with a mixture of hope and vulnerability. The narrator recognizes the risks involved in such a bold move and the anxiety that comes with leap into the unknown. Yet, reinforced by consistent progress—losing 64 pounds and establishing a passionate career—they choose to trust the process and embrace the uncertainty.
Part 10/10:
The final scenes depict a sense of renewal: packing bags, saying farewells, and stepping into a future where adventure, challenge, and self-discovery await. The mix of music, reflection, and candid emotion paints a compelling picture of resilience and boundless potential.
In essence, this journey is a testament to perseverance, adaptability, and the unwavering pursuit of growth. From weight loss and culinary experimentation to big life changes—each chapter underscores the importance of community, discipline, and the bravery to forge new paths.

How are you?
Question: I used to get staking rewards for my staked LEO. Now for a few weeks, the staked amount doesnt change anymore. Was there a change?
Thanks guys!
#question #help #leo $LEO
TLDR; $LEO has been released, lower voting rewards, $LEO is now deflationary - $LEO is capped at max supply for 30 Million $LEO
You might need to increase your voting weight for rewards.
Long version need to check all the post by khal lately.
!ALIVE
Oh I am not talking about voting rewards or anything. I mean this here:
Looks like you get rewards to me?
Or am I missing something?
I don´t know. The staked LEO didn´t change for weeks now... And normally I got something every day.
Uhm what I posted showed that you got some reward. The amount you see there is not corewct anymore because its now a model that based on buybacks from earnings and also the $LEO price has like 5X last couple of weeks.
So to me it looks like everything works as it should
Yes I get that. But I get these that you posted as liquid rewards, not as staked. So this model doesn´t exist anymore?
Oh I see. Maybe thats changed had not even thought of that. Maybe its just liquid now?
Yeah I didn´t find any annoucement about it, that´s why I am confused.
Well thanks!
Just to be clear: I get these liquid rewards for my delegation?
But for staked LEO there is nothing you earn right? No APR or something?
I'll have to pass that to @khaleelkazi for correct answering. But to me it looks like we jusy get liquid $LEO as rewards :)
Ok thank you!
@andersshino @ravenmus1c

@leofinance post from 5 days ago (and an earlier aswell).
Hp delegations gets you flat 16% liquid $LEO
Awesome! Thanks missed that 🦁
Thanks for this! And there is no APR for staked LEO? That means there is no use to stake LEO?
Your $LEO upvote is worth more. Its same as difference between staked and liquid Hive basically
Ah yeah that´s right, thanks!
if you use your staked leo to upvote posts, you 50/50 split your vote value with the person creating the post.
So if you curate post you would receive $LEO
Another option is to delegate your leo power to @centtoken and get weekly swap.hbd for it (15% apy)
Ok thanks alot!!
The important things is that you get your $LEO 🦁
Yes it would just be nice to really understand how it works, and they should change the dashboard page, when it says false things now.
Just my guess here again, but think they have like 100 other things that they feel is more important atm. They are trying to keep up with the trend and LeoDex is nr 1 priority to get revenue into the project from outside Hive.
Yeah I get that...
Thanks for your help!
Why not change dashboard page, like first, uhh? 🤔
Just my guess, but probably they feel like they have 100 issues more important atm 😅
Just asking for little #disclaimer :^ )
Yeah you're right.. I have mentioned that already. But got ignored. Nothing on that page is true.
I don't get why the #inleo team is not changing the page first. Horrible!
Yeah it´s very confusing... And I didn´t really find an announcement about it to make clear how it works now.
Also, I only get rewards for my delegation? Not for the staked LEO I have? There is no APR on that?
No, you get an APR, but no calculation from #inleo pages. But I could missed something. For delegating HP you gonna still get daily $LEO, staked $LEO still gives rewards for voting and such. But no extra APR %-points for receiving $LEO staked for your delegation.
At least a little disclaimer on the #dashboard would have been great - like under construction or something in that way.
I see thank you!
Yes that´s true...
$LEO currently…APR is good damn high 😅🤣
Hey Raven! 😊
If you're referring to your "Leo Bounties", earned through delegating Hive Power to the @leo.voter account, it's still running - and its APR is even increasing, due to the relative value decline of $HIVE compared to $LEO.
In case you'd not receive Leo Bounties anymore, mention it to the Team through the #feedback tag.
Hello! Thanks. :) Yeah I do receive, but not staked anymore, but liquid now. That´s what confuses me.
Have you checked your current status regarding your HIVE delegation to @leo.voter, looking on the Dashboard? (from the "More" option in the left column of this page?).
It seems that right now you don't have your "Premium" subscription activated - it can be the reason why those tokens aren't automatically credited to you as staked ones.
Anyway, glad to see you taking an active part in this wild ride 😀. Khal is talkking of LEO as potentially reaching 5x compared to HIVE, by the end of the year (i.e. USD 1 per LEO).
What it says on this Dashboard page is all wrong. They need to change that as soon as possible. Because it´s very confusing... https://inleo.io/@leofinance/earn-liquid-yield-on-hive-power-16-apy-8tx

Just a precision: the 21% jump in the $LEo's price has taken place during the last 24 hours. Since the LEO tokenomics 2.0 launch, the rise has moved it from USD 1.5 cent to 10 cents, i.e. 566% in a month.

Part 1/12:
The Philosophical Revelation of Bitcoin: A Metaphysical Perspective
A Call to the Orange Pill Movement
Adam Livingston, known as the Bitcoin Wizard, begins his discourse with gratitude towards his growing community, celebrating surpassing 20,000 subscribers in just over 100 days. His mission is clear: to "orange pill"—the symbolic act of enlightening people about Bitcoin and its revolutionary implications—on a global scale. Livingston emphasizes that this community is part of an important and expanding movement dedicated to exposing the truth behind modern monetary systems.
Beyond Hype: Bitcoin as a Metaphysical and Philosophical Revelation
Part 2/12:
Livingston sharply distances himself from typical crypto hype, positioning Bitcoin as more than just digital currency or a protocol. He presents it as a revelation—a manifestation that touches on metaphysics, theology, and the very foundation of reality. According to him, the current society operates under what he terms a "fiat hallucination," a deluded world where truth is optional, inflation destroys life, and society blindly follows illusions.
In this view, Bitcoin is a profound insight emerging amidst chaos, rooted in deeper, transcendental truths. Livingston asserts that Bitcoin embodies a monetary system grounded in objective truth, aligning with what he calls the logos—the eternal reason or divine law described in ancient philosophy and Christian metaphysics.
Part 3/12:
The Foundation of Reality: Logic, Math, and the Logos
Livingston delves into the philosophical bedrock upon which all thought rests: logic and mathematics. He argues that these are not inventions but discoveries—immutable, immaterial laws woven into the fabric of reality. Analogous to an ancient language embedded in the universe, logic and math reveal an underlying metaphysical order.
Part 4/12:
He challenges materialist perspectives, asking whether atoms or neurons can truly account for logic, numbers, or rationality. If logic is merely a product of evolution, it becomes subjective and unreliable. Yet, we operate as if these laws are universal and eternal—principles that transcend culture, biology, and subjectivity. These laws are indicative of a metaphysical foundation—the logos—the divine ordering principle that governs everything.
The Logos as the Universal Order
According to ancient Greek philosophy and Christian scripture (notably John 1:1), the logos is the divine rational structure underpinning reality. It’s the blueprint of existence—a coherence that makes the universe intelligible and speech possible across cultures and contexts.
Part 5/12:
Livingston interprets this as a metaphysical truth: the logos is not just law but the lawgiver. It embodies perfect rationality and order, which exists eternally and independent of human perception. This understanding implies that true rationality, mathematics, and divine law are grounded in a transcendental realm—an order that is immutable and universal.
Bitcoin as the Embodiment of the Logos
Part 6/12:
The core argument positions Bitcoin as the first monetary system constructed in submission to the logos. Unlike fiat money, which relies on trust, decree, and political whim, Bitcoin is governed by mathematical truth—rules baked into code that are immutable and universal. Livingston emphasizes that 21 million coins, block times, and cryptographic protocols are metaphysical axioms—fundamental truths beyond human authority.
Bitcoin’s properties—its scarcity, verifiability, and resistance to inflation—are the manifestations of metaphysical obedience. Bitcoin does not print money or manipulate policies; it respects energy, time, and proof. It aligns with the logos, embodying objectivity and divine order, which traditional fiat systems violate through manipulation and deception.
Part 7/12:
The Spiritual and Theological Significance
For Livingston, Bitcoin’s significance transcends economics. It represents a theological revelation: a scripture in digital form. The white paper, released on October 31, 2008—symbolically close to Halloween—becomes a cosmic mic drop, signaling a divine message delivered by Satoshi Nakamoto. Livingston argues that Bitcoin was not created but revealed—discovered like geometry or language—waiting to be uncovered at a time when the fiat system reached its limit.
Part 8/12:
He describes Bitcoin as a self-executing covenant, a divine contract that mandates honest work, values scarcity, and repudiates rulers' authority. This makes Bitcoin akin to scripture, embodying spiritual authority and truth. Its code, he claims, is not just technological but metaphysical, reflecting divine principles woven into its architecture.
Contrasting Babel and Pentecost: Order Versus Chaos
Livingston draws a biblical analogy between the Tower of Babel—symbolizing chaos, confusion, and the hubris of man attempting to reach divine heights through force—and Pentecost, which signifies unity and divine order through submission to law.
Part 9/12:
Bitcoin embodies the Pentecostal ideal: a universal language of energy and truth that requires no permission, passports, or religious affiliation. It distributes justice through objective rules and divine order, uniting people in a shared reality of verifiable truth. Conversely, fiat is likened to Babel—disorder, deception, and the punishing collapse of human hubris.
An Urgent Choice: Truth Versus Illusion
The message concludes with a stark choice: continue worshipping the fiat system—an endless printing machine that fosters debt, decay, and delusion—or embrace Bitcoin as a truth-based system that channels divine order. Livingston presents Bitcoin as the exodus of modern society—a pathway out of bondage to false money into a realm governed by law, truth, and logos.
Part 10/12:
He asserts that Bitcoin’s origin is not a coincidence but a cosmic revelation, positioned and waiting in the fabric of reality until humanity was ready for its truth. Its Genesis block bore the message of divine origin—symbolic of a torch passed down by Satoshi Nakamoto, who is depicted as a messianic figure in this metaphysical narrative.
The Final Reflection: Money as a Reflection of Divine Truth
In wrapping up, Livingston states that Bitcoin isn’t just money but a mirror reflecting the divine structure that underpins reason, math, language, and divine law. It aligns human energy, time, and effort with transcendental principles, providing a system where truth has a timestamp and lies are punished—a universe where work is redeemed, and rulers are irrelevant.
Part 11/12:
He emphasizes that Bitcoin demands not trust, but submission to truth, making it more than technology—a spiritual force in motion. The question posed is whether humans will choose to live in truth or succumb to comfort and illusion.
Conclusion: A Call to Spiritual Arms
In his closing words, Livingston positions Bitcoin as the sword of truth coming for the liars—an imminent force of divine order. It is a revelation, not just a monetary innovation, holding the potential to transform society’s relationship with law, time, and value.
Part 12/12:
He invites readers to decide: embrace the logos or remain ensnared in the chaos of fiat. Bitcoin is not owned by any individual; it belongs to the truth itself. It is a weapon against deception, ushering in a new era where men bow before law, and the divine order prevails.
Final note from the Bitcoin Wizard
Livingston exhorts his audience to carry this torch of truth, emphasizing that Bitcoin is a scripture for the modern age, waiting to be wielded in the battle between divine order and human hubris. His message is clear: truth is coming, and everyone must choose their allegiance—either to the eternal law or to the collapsing tower of Babel.

2/🧵As students, we always picture a future very promising and full of opportunities. There is no student that doesn’t wish to get a good-paying job after graduation. When it comes to people that dream big, I give it to the student. They always want their life to be excellent. life is not the way we predict it to be. After graduating from school, we will face the reality of life. That is when you will realise that tomorrow is not promised. Entering the labour market, you understood how competitive it is. As a graduate, don’t look down on yourself; believe in yourself and be positive. Be open to every opportunity that comes your way; life is unpredictable. Be ready to grab every single opportunity that comes your way.

Part 1/8:
Unlocking the Power of Minerals for Optimal Health
Even during our sleep, our bodies are far from resting. While we're lost in dreams, vital processes are taking place—oxygen is being delivered, hormones are being produced, wounds are healing, and bones are being built. These essential functions rely heavily on minerals, the tiny but mighty nutrients sourced from soil that plant life absorbs. When we consume plants, these minerals enter our bodies, supporting growth, healing, and maintaining balance.
Today, we delve into how to enhance our body's absorption of critical minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, and iodine. By harnessing simple tips and hacks, we can optimize our mineral intake and boost our health naturally.
Part 2/8:
This discussion is in partnership with Audible, and we'll explore their offerings at the end of the article. Let's get started.
The Vital Role of Iron
Iron is a well-known mineral pivotal for blood health. It enables our blood cells to carry oxygen from the lungs to the brain and other tissues. Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies worldwide, leading to fatigue and other health issues.
Plant-based Iron Sources:
Foods high in iron include lentils, beans, grains, seeds, tofu, and leafy greens. To maximize absorption, it’s beneficial to combine iron-rich foods with vitamin C sources, as vitamin C transforms iron into a form more readily absorbed by your body—sometimes increasing absorption five to sixfold.
Effective Meal Pairings:
Part 3/8:
Breakfast: Oatmeal topped with strawberries (rich in vitamin C) enhances iron absorption.
Lunch: A tofu and bean burrito with red bell pepper adds vitamin C to boost iron intake.
Dinner: Lentil and spinach curry with a squeeze of lemon improves iron absorption.
Tips for Maximizing Iron Absorption:
Enjoy vitamin C-rich foods raw or in the least cooked form to preserve their vitamin content.
Consume tannin-rich beverages like black tea, coffee, or red wine between meals, rather than with them, since tannins inhibit iron absorption.
Sprouting: Unlocking Hidden Nutrients
Sprouting might seem modern, but it’s an ancient practice. Sprouting legumes like lentils and mung beans significantly increases their nutrient content and digestibility.
Why Sprout?
Part 4/8:
Sprouting activates enzymes that make minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, and zinc more available. It also enhances amino acids—the building blocks of proteins—making them easier to absorb.
Sprouting Steps:
Sterilize jars with boiling water.
Add half a cup of dry legumes, leaving space for expansion.
Rinse and soak overnight.
Drain, rinse with fresh water, and drain thoroughly.
Cover with breathable fabric, and keep at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
Rinse twice daily until sprouts appear (after about three to four days).
Rinse to dry and store in the fridge for up to five days.
Safety Tip:
Part 5/8:
The warm, humid environment needed for sprouting can harbor bacteria. If you're pregnant, elderly, or feeding sprouts to little ones, it's safer to cook them thoroughly.
Selenium: A Powerful Antioxidant
Selenium is a trace mineral with potent antioxidant properties. Its intake depends largely on soil quality, making certain foods more reliable sources in some regions.
Top Source:
Brazil nuts are arguably the most concentrated source. Consuming just half a large Brazil nut daily covers your selenium needs. However, moderation is key—too much selenium can be toxic. Limiting intake to three or four nuts per day is advisable.
Alternative Sources:
Whole grains, seeds, and nuts also provide selenium.
Iodine: Essential for Thyroid Function
Part 6/8:
Iodine plays a crucial role in synthesizing thyroid hormones, impacting overall metabolism and health.
Sources of Iodine:
Since most iodine in the diet comes from the ocean, marine foods like seaweed are rich in iodine. However, the iodine content in seaweed varies greatly, so relying solely on it can be inconsistent.
Reliable Intake Method:
Iodized salt is the most consistent source. Just a small amount—about a third of a teaspoon daily—can meet your iodine needs. Most processed foods contain non-iodized salt, so cooking with iodized salt ensures consistent intake.
Caution:
Excessive iodine can harm thyroid health. Don’t supplement with iodine unless advised by a healthcare professional.
The Bigger Picture: Balance and Moderation
Part 7/8:
In addition to these minerals, understanding the balance of mineral intake is vital. For instance, excessive iron may negatively impact brain health, and too much selenium is toxic. Emphasizing a varied diet rich in whole, plant-based foods, and practicing food preparation techniques like sprouting, can help optimize mineral absorption.
Dive Deeper with Audiobooks
To further your understanding of minerals and their impact on brain health, consider listening to Power Foods for the Brain by Dr. Neil Barnard. This evidence-based guide offers valuable insights into foods that support cognitive function and overall well-being.
Special Offer:
Part 8/8:
Through Audible, you can listen to this audiobook for free with a 30-day trial, gaining access to thousands of titles, including audiobooks, podcasts, and guided programs. Check the link in the description to start your journey into nourishing your brain and body.
Final Thoughts
Achieving optimal mineral intake isn't about taking supplements but rather about making mindful food choices and preparation techniques. Incorporating vitamin C-rich foods, sprouting legumes, choosing iodized salt, and enjoying small doses of nuts like Brazil nuts can significantly enhance your body's ability to harness these vital nutrients.
Take charge of your health through simple, natural strategies—your body will thank you.

Creative Homemade Edible Gifts for the Holidays
The video guide offers a delightful selection of homemade edible gift ideas that are perfect for the holiday season or any occasion where personalized, thoughtful presents are appreciated. The presenter emphasizes the beauty of gifting something edible, customizable, and easy to prepare—adding a heartfelt touch that recipients will love. From baked treats in charming jars to artisanal nut butters, each recipe combines simplicity with creative flair.
Muffins in a Jar: A Festive and Personalized Gift
Part 2/7:
The first idea showcased is "Muffins in a Jar," featuring a spiced chocolate walnut fig muffin. This gift combines the charm of a homemade baked good with the aesthetic appeal of layered ingredients in a mason jar. The preparation involves carefully layering dry ingredients such as flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, and a mix of spices and leavening agents.
Attention to detail is essential—using a pastry brush to clean the jar sides helps keep the layers neat and visually appealing. The presenter emphasizes to gently press down each layer with a measuring spoon or ladle to create compact, transport-friendly jars. Topping the mixture with chopped walnuts and dried figs adds texture and flavor, while finishing with vegan chocolate chips.
Part 3/7:
Decorating the jar with ribbon or string elevates its presentation. The recipient’s job is straightforward: they simply pour the contents into a bowl, add plant-based milk and oil, stir, and bake—resulting in moist, flavorful muffins with a pleasantly spiced taste. This thoughtful gift combines homemade effort with the joy of baking, making it perfect for holiday cheer or any celebratory occasion.
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Bark: Artisanal and Customizable
The next gift idea is a decadent Rocky Mountain Chocolate Bark. The process centers around making caramel shards, a simple one-ingredient caramelized sugar baked onto parchment paper. Once cooled, the caramel is broken into rustic shards that add a beautiful crunch and smoky sweetness to the final product.
Part 4/7:
The presenter proceeds to prepare toppings creatively—chopping roasted hazelnuts, banana chips, and gingerbread cookies, but encourages customization according to taste preferences. The chocolate is melted using a double boiler, ensuring smooth, high-quality chocolate, which is then poured onto parchment to form a large sheet.
Optional drizzles of peanut butter, along with the toppings pressed into the melted chocolate, create a rich, textured bark. The finished product is refrigerated until firm and then cut into various shapes for packaging. Packaging in a decorative box or upcycled container makes this an elegant, edible gift that pairs well with holiday festivities or cozy gatherings. The flexibility of toppings and decorations allows for personalization, making each bark unique.
Part 5/7:
Cinnamon and Vanilla Nut Butter: Healthy, Delicious, and Gift-Ready
The final featured gift is a homemade Cinnamon and Vanilla Nut Butter, perfect for breakfast or snacks. The process starts with roasting raw pecans and cashews to bring out their flavor. Once cooled, the nuts are blended in a food processor with cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy—an act of patience that results in a luscious, spreadable nut butter.
The presenter demonstrates how to transfer the finished nut butter into jars, which can be decorated in simple yet charming ways—wrapping twine around the neck of the jar or adding small plant cuttings. The nut butter itself is versatile: it’s delicious spread on toast, mixed into smoothies, or enjoyed as a snack with crunchy apple slices.
Part 6/7:
This gift offers both health benefits and indulgence, making it a thoughtful and nourishing present. The homemade aspect adds a personal touch that elevates a simple nut spread into a meaningful holiday gift.
Final Thoughts and Additional Ideas
The presenter wraps up by encouraging viewers to experiment with other edible gifts like cookies and granola, which also look appealing when packaged in small jars or boxes. They mention that recipes for these items can be found on their blog, providing easy access to more ideas.
Part 7/7:
Overall, these homemade edible gifts combine creativity, personalization, and practicality—allowing givers to share something meaningful, delicious, and beautifully presented. Whether it’s baked goods, chocolate confections, or wholesome nut butters, each idea offers a way to spread holiday cheer and make memorable moments through thoughtful, homemade presents.

Quick and Delicious: Three Speedy Plant-Based Meals Under 20 Minutes
In today’s fast-paced world, finding time to cook nutritious and flavorful meals can be challenging. Fortunately, there are plenty of quick recipes that are both satisfying and easy to prepare. This article highlights three speedy plant-based dishes that can each be whipped up in approximately 20 minutes or less, perfect for busy lunch or dinner times.
1. Oyster Mushroom Curry Salad Sandwich
This innovative take on a regional Dutch favorite, called kipkerrie, usually made with chicken, replaces meat with hearty oyster mushrooms—known for their meaty, stringy texture once cooked. The result is a flavorful and protein-rich sandwich filling with tropical hints of pineapple and aromatic spices.
Part 2/7:
Preparation Steps:
Ingredient Prep: Mince a garlic clove and half a shallot (or small onion). Peel about two cups of oyster mushrooms.
Cooking: Sauté garlic and shallot in olive oil for 2-3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, salt, and cook until they turn lightly golden, approximately three minutes.
Spice & Seasoning: Mix in cumin, coriander, ginger, and black pepper, then cook until fragrant and the liquid evaporates.
Creamy Filling: Transfer to a bowl and stir in pineapple chunks, vegan mayo, plant-based yogurt, curry powder, and Dijon mustard to create a creamy, spiced mixture.
Assembly: Toast bread slices, layer with lettuce, tomato, mushroom curry, and garnish with sliced green onions. Optional: add fresh herbs or pomegranate seeds.
Part 3/7:
Flavor Profile & Tips: The contrast of smoky spices with sweet pineapple offers a surprisingly harmonious flavor combination. The recipe is flexible for batch preparations, making it an easy grab-and-go lunch by simply spreading the mixture on toasted bread.
2. Zatar-Spiced Veggie Wraps with Mint Garlic Yogurt Sauce
Next, we have wholesome veggie wraps featuring a Middle Eastern spice blend called zatar. Packed with sautéed zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, and lentils, these wraps are both flavorful and quick to assemble.
Preparation Steps:
Part 4/7:
Add Protein & Spice: Mix in chopped green bell peppers, drained lentils, and a tablespoon and a half of zatar spice. Cover and cook until flavors meld.
Yogurt Sauce: Whip up a quick sauce with unsweetened plant-based yogurt, crushed garlic, lemon juice, chopped mint, and a pinch of salt. Let sit to develop flavor.
Wrap Assembly: Warm pita bread on the stove, then spread generously with yogurt sauce. Fill with lettuce, spiced veggies, diced tomatoes (or pomegranate seeds), and drizzle with tahini. Garnish with mint leaves.
Flavor Profile & Tips: The fragrant zatar spice elevates the vegetables, complemented by the refreshing mint garlic yogurt. These wraps are versatile; you can swap in different veggies or proteins and serve them hot or cold.
Part 5/7:
3. One-Pot Tomato and Chickpea Stew
The final recipe is a hearty, plant-based stew that comes together in a single pot, making cleanup a breeze. Loaded with chickpeas, tomatoes, vegetables, and flavorful spices, it’s perfect for those looking for comfort food without hours of cooking.
Preparation Steps:
Veggie Base: Finely chop onions, carrots, and roasted bell peppers. Sauté in vegetable oil with salt for about five minutes.
Add Aromatics & Spices: Slice garlic and chili, then cook for a couple of minutes. Toast cumin, smoked paprika, and coriander powders for flavor development.
Simmer: Pour in diced tomatoes, add chickpeas, olives, tahini, and soy sauce. Stir well, then simmer on medium heat for about five minutes.
Part 6/7:
Finish: Incorporate chopped spinach and crack fresh black pepper over the top. Cook for another minute until spinach wilts.
Serve: Garnish with fresh basil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve alongside toasted bread or rice for scooping.
Flavor Profile & Tips: The use of smoky spices and tahini creates a rich, umami-packed stew with a gentle acidity from tomatoes and brightness from lemon. It’s highly customizable—add more vegetables or adjust spices to taste.

Melt until smooth, then stir in half a packed cup of brown sugar.
Add 1 tsp vanilla, ½ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp salt, and the chopped almonds.
Incorporate the flaxseed mixture and sifted or straight-in 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Mix gently to avoid overworking.
Scoop dough with a quarter-cup measure, shape into balls, press slightly, and decorate with chunks of chocolate or almonds if desired.
Bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 12-14 minutes. Let cool on a rack before serving.

Add in 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups rolled oats, 1⅓ cups shredded coconut, ¾ cup vegan chocolate chips, and 1 cup chopped pecans.
Scoop with a tablespoon or quarter cup, shape into balls, and flatten slightly.
Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden.

Exploring Delicious and Versatile Vegan Tofu Recipes: A Guide to Flavorful Plant-Based Cooking
Tofu, a star ingredient for many plant-based dishes, is celebrated for its exceptional versatility, high protein content, and ability to absorb flavors from marinades and seasonings. While on its own, tofu may seem bland in taste and unremarkable in texture, its true magic lies in how it is prepared and combined with other ingredients. This article delves into three mouthwatering tofu recipes, each paired with unique dipping sauces, showcasing the endless possibilities that tofu offers to both novice and seasoned cooks.
Mastering Tofu Preparation: The Foundation of Great Recipes
Part 2/8:
Before diving into the recipes, it's essential to understand how to handle tofu effectively. For all recipes shared here, extra firm tofu is recommended. The key steps involve removing excess liquid to improve both flavor absorption and crispiness.
Methods for draining tofu include:
Using a tofu press (if available)
Placing the tofu between plates and applying weight for about 15 minutes
Squeezing gently with hands over the sink (personal favorite for convenience)
Once drained, cut the tofu into bite-sized pieces suitable for each recipe. To achieve crispy exteriors, coating the tofu with a mixture of cornstarch (or substitutes like arrowroot or potato starch), salt, and spices plays a crucial role. The cornstarch helps create a satisfying crunch, whether baked or pan-fried.
Part 3/8:
Recipe 1: Tofu Veggie Skewers with Vegan Tzatziki
Ingredients & Preparation
Tofu & Veggies: Cubed extra firm tofu, sliced sweet potatoes, red onions, zucchini, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes
Marinade: Olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, basil, salt, black pepper
Dipping Sauce: Homemade vegan tzatziki made with plant-based yogurt, garlic, grated cucumber, dill, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper
Steps:
Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning.
Drain and press tofu. Toss in cornstarch and spices.
Mix marinade ingredients and set aside.
Thread tofu and evenly cut veggies onto skewers, alternating for visual appeal.
Brush with marinade and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes or until golden.
Part 4/8:
Serving & Tips
Once baked, serve skewers alongside the cool, garlicky tzatziki sauce. The caramelization from baking enhances natural sweetness, making each bite flavorful and satisfying. This dish is perfect for summer barbecues or family dinners, impressing guests with its vibrant presentation and delicious taste.
Recipe 2: Buffalo-Style Tofu Sticks with Vegan Ranch Dip
Ingredients & Preparation
Tofu: Cubed into strips (about 5cm long)
Breading: Cornstarch, plant-based milk, bread crumbs seasoned with paprika, cumin, garlic powder, black pepper
Part 5/8:
Buffalo Sauce: Hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot), vegan butter or margarine, onion powder
Dipping Sauce: Homemade vegan ranch with mayonnaise, ranch spice mix, plant-based milk, lemon juice
Steps:
Coat tofu strips in cornstarch, dip in plant milk, then roll in seasoned bread crumbs.
Bake at 430°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway until crispy.
While baking, prepare buffalo sauce by melting vegan butter into hot sauce with a pinch of onion powder.
Once tofu is baked, toss in the hot sauce to coat evenly.
Serve with vegan ranch dip, garnished with chopped chives if desired.
Pro Tip: For an extra flavor boost, serve in wraps with lettuce and avocado, drizzled with ranch for a wholesome, hearty snack or meal.
Part 6/8:
Recipe 3: Spicy Garlicky Tofu Bites with a Tangy Sauce
Ingredients & Preparation
Tofu: Cubed into 1 cm pieces, coated with cornstarch, oil, salt, pepper
Sauce: Maple syrup, gochujang (Korean chili paste), soy sauce, rice vinegar
Aromatics: Minced garlic, diced shallot (or onion), sliced red chili peppers, chopped green onions
Steps:
Pan-fry the coated tofu until golden; avoid over-stirring initially to keep pieces intact.
Prepare the sauce by mixing maple syrup, gochujang, soy, and rice vinegar.
Sauté garlic, shallot, and chili slices in oil until fragrant.
Pour in sauce, simmer until slightly thickened.
Add tofu back into the pan, coating evenly with the sauce.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Part 7/8:
Flavor Profile:
This dish offers a perfect balance of spicy, sweet, and savory flavors, making it versatile for serving as an appetizer or stir-fry ingredient. Its bold taste often converts tofu skeptics, highlighting its adaptability.
Final Thoughts: Embrace Tofu's Endless Possibilities
The recipes above exemplify how tofu can be transformed into varied and flavorful dishes with simple techniques and complementary sauces. Whether baked, fried, or stir-fried, the key to delicious tofu lies in proper preparation—removing excess moisture, coating with starch, and marinating with bold flavors.

lmao that's so real.
when exactly #hive will have it's Leo like run?
Need to do some catch up soon.
To many outflows from Hive imo. Think you really need a dapp to take off for Hive to much in a big way.
yea need a dapp to take off like splinter land did...
Would be nice if Leo is that dapp.
Think LEO is moving another direction. Hive needs to decide what type of chain it wants to be. If it likes where it is right now, dont reform it. Otherwise there needs to be changes
just need to add buyback into hive and we'll be alright.
And from where will these buybacks come from? Inleo has revenue, Hive doesnt.
When more people need to retain HP than people who convert their HBD out of the ecosystem... Unlikely, but it could happen.
Yea it could... let's wait and see till q4
Man, think less about Hive and buy Leo. Simple!
i have both so I'm worried about my bags.
So... Someone I know just used ChatGPT to diagnose themselves when they fell ill... The results are as bad as you'd imagine.
The fact that health care here is only slightly better than ChatGPT is making me really anxious!!!!!! #healthcare #libya
It's surprising to have to point this out, but prices can't fall by more than 100%.
(Not talking about your altcoin, but about medication costs.)
I'm mean, it's a simple math, isn't it?
Never shrink yourself for anyone. Embrace being the unique, funny, smart, and beautiful little oddball you are. Let your true self shine. Stay quirky and be different.

The Tensions and Battles of the Great War: A Weekly Summary
A New Offensive to Ease Pressure at Verdun
Recent weeks have seen nations vying to reposition themselves on the battlefield, with Italy and Russia promising new attacks to alleviate pressure on French forces during the grueling Battle of Verdun. Italy launched an offensive along the Soča River last week, while Russia responded with a massive push in the east, marking a period of intensified fighting on multiple fronts.
The Persistent Struggle at Fort Vaux
Part 2/13:
One of the key contested sites near Verdun remains Fort de Vaux. This fortress, situated on the right bank of the Maza River, has endured relentless assaults since March. Its strategic importance made it a focal point in the ongoing battle. Despite the village of Vaux changing hands multiple times—13 different times during March—the fortress itself remained staunchly in French control.
Part 3/13:
There was a tragic incident where German General Guretzky-Cornitz believed Fort Vaux had fallen and relayed this false report up the chain of command, earning him the prestigious Pour le Mérite. However, French defenders, including the renowned Chief of Staff Joseph Joffre, kept the fortress's resilience in the spotlight, declaring it a symbol of French perseverance. Ultimately, the fort withstood German attempts, symbolizing the fierce resistance that characterized this sector of the front.
The German Offensive Near Verdun Fails
Part 4/13:
On March 20, German forces, led by the 11th Bavarian Division under General Paul Ritter von Kneussel, launched a significant attack near Avocourt, on the Verdun front. Despite early successes—initially burying some French soldiers alive—the Germans achieved a swift victory, capturing French positions within four hours, and forcing a capitulation with 2,825 prisoners, numerous machine guns, and a collection of Croix de Guerre medals.
Part 5/13:
This offensive, however, proved to be a pyrrhic victory. When German troops attempted to capitalize on their success in the subsequent days, they faced a devastating counterattack from French machine guns, which inflicted severe casualties—about 2,400 men—without gaining new territory. The battle underscored the brutal stalemate characteristic of Verdun, where gains were measured in casualties rather than land.
The Eastern Front Roars to Life
Part 6/13:
Meanwhile, the eastern front witnessed extraordinary activity. Russian forces launched an ambitious offensive south of Daugavpils, into marshy lake regions. Despite their relentless effort, they suffered heavy losses—around 9,000 casualties over just two days—struggling to break through well-fortified German lines stretching from Lake Drysvyaty to Pastavy and further south near Lake Narač.
Part 7/13:
In a notable engagement, Russians seized a strategic position between Pastava and Vileity but faced a fierce German counter-attack. The fighting devolved into a chaotic melee, with continuous shelling and rapid gunfire, culminating in Germans regaining lost trenches. The Russian offensive's momentum was frenetic, driven by immense manpower and resources pouring in, with reports suggesting they had around 60 divisions engaged.
Part 8/13:
This surge of Russian activity was partly motivated by the approaching spring thaw, which threatened to render their muddy trenches and dugouts useless due to flooding and deteriorating terrain. The intense energy and willingness to risk massive casualties were driven by a strategic imperative to advance before conditions worsened further, despite the staggering human costs.
Naval Encounters in the North Sea
On the naval front, the week featured decisive engagements in the North Sea. On March 24, the German auxiliary cruiser Greif attempted to slip through a British blockade under the cover of darkness, disguised under Norwegian colors. The British auxiliary cruiser Alcantara intercepted the vessel, leading to a brief but fierce battle lasting only 12 minutes.
Part 9/13:
Greif was destroyed by an explosion, likely from torpedoes, with 115 men rescued from its wreck. The British suffered the loss of 47 sailors, and both ships now rest at the bottom of the sea. Shortly after, the British employed new deep-diving charges to destroy a German submarine off the Irish coast, showcasing the evolving nature of naval warfare during the war.
Turmoil in Ireland
Part 10/13:
Ireland also experienced rising unrest amid the global conflict. On March 21, in Tullamore, tensions flared between pro-British loyalists and Irish republicans affiliated with Sinn Féin, who sought Irish independence. A confrontation escalated into violence, with stones and gunfire exchanged, leading to police intervention and injuries among officers. Public disorder and animosity increased, highlighting Ireland's complex position during the war and foreshadowing further unrest.
Ongoing Bombardments and Colonial Campaigns
Part 11/13:
The Allies continued their artillery campaigns, targeting the Belgian port of Zeebrugge on March 17 and 20, aiming to disrupt German logistics and naval operations. In Africa, British forces secured a strategic victory at the Ruwu River on March 18 and occupied the city of Arusha in Kilimandjaro by March 21, consolidating their control in East Africa.
Health and Morale in the Greek Theatre
In Greece, conditions among Allied troops stationed in Thessaloniki were deteriorating, primarily due to malaria. A British medical officer humorously warned that the soldiers had only two months of "mercy" before the arrival of General Malaria, reflecting the endemic health issues faced by soldiers in the region.
The Human Cost and Strategic Lessons
Part 12/13:
This tumultuous week underscores the vast scale and brutal nature of World War I. The fighting across multiple fronts—Verdun, the Eastern Front, the North Sea—illustrates the global scope of the conflict. Although battlefield casualties are staggering, they also reveal the grim reality of intense, close-quarters combat, where every soldier faced the grim prospect of death or injury.
Historian Alan Palmer summarized the devastation at Verdun, noting that German losses in this small sector approached half a million men—highlighting the grotesque concentration of death within a confined space, comparable in size to Berlin. Such figures serve as a somber reminder of the war's brutality, where human lives often held little individual value amidst the larger strategic and political conflicts.
Part 13/13:
Reflections
While the numbers are staggering, it's vital to remember the personal stories of those involved—the soldiers fighting in trenches, sailors battling in the open sea, and civilians caught amidst the upheaval. The war’s relentless violence and sacrifice continue to be a sobering testament to the human cost of global conflict.

The Legendary Voyage of the German Raider Moewe: An Odyssey of Deception and naval Warfare
Almost a century ago, during the tumultuous years of the First World War, an extraordinary maritime story unfolded—one that echoes the heroism and cunning of Homeric epics. This is the tale of the German raider Moewe, a vessel that defied expectations, eluded the combined naval might of the Allies, and etched its name into the annals of naval legend.
From Cargo Ship to Maritime Marauder
Part 2/10:
The Moewe’s story begins in 1914, when she was launched not as a warship but as a humble banana boat named Pungo. Requisitioned by the German navy in 1915, she was transformed into a formidable minelayer, renamed Moewe (German for "Seagull"), and outfitted with guns, torpedo tubes, and a substantial coal capacity to extend her range. This reconfiguration was part of Germany's strategic effort to disrupt Allied shipping and challenge their dominance at sea.
Setting Sail into Enemy Waters
Part 3/10:
On December 30, 1915, under the command of Captain Nikolaus Graf zu Dohna-Schlodien, Moewe embarked from the North Sea, heading out at dawn into the dangerous waters frequented by the British navy. She skillfully navigated through the British naval net—an intricate web of patrols—laying mines during the New Year and plowing through the English Channel amidst British cruisers. Remarkably, Moewe carried a powerful wireless radio set, enabling her captain to track Allied patrols and remain one step ahead.
Part 4/10:
Despite intermittent radio communications, the German vessel played a courteous game of cat and mouse with the British ships. She answered some signals but remained elusive to others, believing she could outrun any pursuit. Her craftiness paid off as she made her way across the Atlantic, heading towards the safer waters off the Spanish and Portuguese coasts.
The Atlantic Raider: Sinking Ships and Capturing Prizes
For weeks, Moewe prowled the shipping lanes, sinking and capturing several vessels. Her presence was so subtle that it took weeks for the Allies to realize she was operating in their midst. Several ships failed to reach their destinations, and reports of a mysterious, seemingly ghost-like vessel stalking the African coast surfaced.
Part 5/10:
On February 9, 1916, a significant moment occurred. A British steamship, Appam, entered Hampton Roads, Virginia, flying the German naval flag. Appam was no ordinary vessel; she had been seized by Moewe, which now guided the crew and prisoners across the Atlantic. Inside her holds were 156 officers and passengers, including victims of Moewe's earlier attacks, as well as 20 Germans en route to internment in Britain.
Germany laid claim to Appam as a prize ship, citing old treaties, while Britain demanded her release. The ship was eventually interned, and her cargo—valued at over $700,000—along with nearly a quarter-million dollars in gold bars, was confiscated by Moewe, bringing the total haul close to $2 million.
An Elusive Phantom and Naval Chase
Part 6/10:
The Allies launched an extensive, unprecedented search for the elusive Moewe, deploying cruisers and patrols across the Atlantic. Despite their efforts, the German raider remained out of reach. On February 20, 1916, Moewe's crew brought ashore 206 prisoners at the Spanish port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife after sinking a British and a Belgian ship.
However, in a daring act of defiance, her crew blew up Westburn—a British vessel—after disembarking the prisoners—an audacious move that further stoked the flames of wartime intrigue. The British public, captivated by Moewe's exploits, admired her audacity even while she was their enemy.
Final Return and Celebrated Victory
Part 7/10:
On March 5, 1916, Moewe returned triumphantly to Wilhelmshaven, Germany, with nearly 200 prisoners, a substantial treasure trove, and a reputation bolstered by her audacious campaign. During her brief but impactful sortie, she sank 15 Allied vessels—mainly British—accumulating a staggering 60,000 tons of destroyed shipping.
Her journey had been a strategic masterstroke, including a daring Arctic passage around Iceland in wartime winter conditions, demonstrating remarkable navigation and resilience.
The German high command awarded her commander the Blue Max, Germany’s highest military honor, and the crew was decorated with the Iron Cross Second Class. Count zu Dohna-Schlodien received personal commendation from the Kaiser himself, acknowledging the ship's extraordinary achievements.

The Mystery and Legacy
While Moewe claimed victories for Germany, the true story remains shrouded in mystery. Some accounts suggest that her success was due to a coordinated German effort, with other ships like Bahrenfeld and Turpin possibly assuming her guise and raiding independently, never to be seen again. The real identities of all the ships involved and the full extent of the raids may never be known.
Her campaign also likely contributed to the sinking of the British battleship King Edward VII, which struck a mine in the North Sea shortly after Moewe’s operations began.
A Naval Legend in the Making
Part 9/10:
The Moewe’s first voyage set a high bar for naval daring and cunning — a true maritime odyssey of deception, stealth, and audacity that captured the imagination of wartime and post-war generations. Her exploits symbolize the innovative spirit of wartime raiders and the complex naval strategies employed during the First World War.
For enthusiasts eager to explore more stories from this era, tales of other notable German ships like the SMS Emden await. As history shows, in just a few months, Moewe had achieved a remarkable record: sinking numerous ships, capturing prisoners and treasure, and evading the greatest naval powers of her time.

The Future of Bitcoin: Hyperbitcoinization and Global Wealth Shift
Market Outlook and Growing Optimism
In a recent discussion, a crypto enthusiast expressed a highly optimistic view of Bitcoin's trajectory, highlighting the incredible pace at which the market has evolved. The overall sentiment is that the crypto space has experienced non-stop positive news, creating a momentum that seems unstoppable. The speaker emphasizes the importance of engaging with the content, urging viewers to support the channel through likes and comments, which boost visibility and foster community growth.
Bitcoin as a Revolution: Moving Away from the Old Financial System
Part 2/12:
At the core of this narrative is the fundamental idea that Bitcoin was designed to challenge and ultimately replace traditional fiat currencies and the banking system. The speakers discuss rising concerns among banks regarding stablecoins and Bitcoin, suggesting that we are entering an era where circumventing fiat currency is becoming not just possible, but inevitable.
A striking point is the decline of the US dollar. Over the past six to seven months, its valuation has dramatically fallen against other currencies—a trend projected to worsen, especially with upcoming interest rate decisions expected around September and October. This financial instability underscores Bitcoin's appeal as an alternative store of value and a potential global currency.
Part 3/12:
Bitcoin’s Role Beyond Digital Gold
While many associate Bitcoin with "digital gold," the discussion expands into its practical use as an actual currency. The rise of derivatives, ETFs, and other financial instruments tied to Bitcoin indicates increasing liquidity and ease of movement for large sums of money. Institutional interest is surging, with major corporations and funds acquiring Bitcoin with long-term hold intentions, seeking to avoid market volatility and manipulation.
Part 4/12:
This collective accumulation from entities—sometimes purchasing billions of dollars worth of Bitcoin—aims to stabilize the market and prevent crashes caused by large sell-offs. When institutions buy and hold large quantities, it enhances not only the price but also the overall robustness of Bitcoin as the backbone of a new financial system.
The Hyperbitcoinization Phenomenon
A recurring theme is the concept of hyperbitcoinization: a future scenario where Bitcoin becomes the dominant, if not exclusive, monetary system globally. The question of “how could that happen?” is addressed by looking back in time. If viewers could go back to 2010, they’d wish they had bought as much Bitcoin as possible at $1, illustrating how the asset has been historically undervalued.
Part 5/12:
Meanwhile, individuals and institutions are increasingly recognizing that buying Bitcoin now, even at higher prices, could lead to unimaginable gains. The narrative describes a cycle where rising Bitcoin prices inspire more people to buy, believing they’ve missed out—creating a feedback loop that drives prices higher.
Mass Adoption & Institutional Accumulation
Part 6/12:
Recent news illustrates this trend: a gold and silver mining company announced it would reinvest all future profits into Bitcoin, signaling a shift from traditional assets to crypto. Also, 18 to 22 countries are engaged in Bitcoin mining and acquisition, highlighting governmental and sovereign interest. There are reports of hedge funds selling off paper gold to buy Bitcoin, further driving the narrative of hyperbitcoinization.
As adoption spreads, more sectors recognize Bitcoin’s potential—governments, corporations, and individuals—reinforcing the movement toward a future where Bitcoin is all-pervasive. This is seen as the literal arrival of a new monetary era, with some analysts predicting Bitcoin’s price could reach tens of millions of dollars per coin in the coming decades.
Part 7/12:
Massive Upside Potential & Limited Downside
The discussion emphasizes Bitcoin's asymmetry: limited downside risk paired with virtually unlimited upside. As global fiat printing continues and debt expands, Bitcoin’s scarcity—capped at 21 million—becomes increasingly valuable.
A notable projection is that just 0.01 Bitcoin today, worth roughly $1,200, could secure a permanent stake in global wealth if Bitcoin dominates the monetary system. Estimated global value is around $1 quadrillion, implying that the same tiny Bitcoin holding could be worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in the future.
The Wealth Concentration and Future Market Dynamics
Part 8/12:
The speaker notes that millions of Bitcoin are already lost forever—due to forgotten keys or dead wallets—effectively reducing circulating supply and inflating prices. The remaining coins are highly sought after, with less than a fraction of the total supply actively tradable.
Rich entities, sovereign nations, and large funds are accumulating Bitcoin at an exponential rate because they understand the future potential. This consolidates wealth among the early adopters and institutions, creating a landscape where holding Bitcoin could lead to generational wealth.
Staking & Hold Forever
Part 9/12:
Advances like staking allow holders to earn income or rewards, making it even less likely they will sell their holdings. As a result, Bitcoin's scarcity will intensify, pushing prices even higher—a self-fulfilling prophecy as more assets are converted into Bitcoin.
Why Governments and Elites Are Buying In
The discussion underscores that governments and financial authorities worldwide are actively adopting Bitcoin. They are integrating it into legal frameworks, considering Bitcoin for reserves, mortgages, and retirement accounts. The fact that global superpowers and large financial firms are buying Bitcoin covertly or overtly suggests that the transition to a Bitcoin-centric monetary system is imminent.
Part 10/12:
This is reinforced by the question: Why are top players rapidly accumulating Bitcoin? Because they see the writing on the wall—Bitcoin is poised to become the foundation of the future economy.
The Call to Action: Prepare Now
The narrative closes with a strong message: the time to act is now. The window of opportunity is closing rapidly, and the biggest winners will be those who recognize Bitcoin's potential early. Waiting or dismissing it as a passing trend may result in missed opportunity, as Bitcoin's valuation could soar into the tens of millions, leaving latecomers regretful.
Part 11/12:
The speaker urges viewers to consider their position carefully, emphasizing that the best investments today could pay off for generations. The fundamental message is clear: we are on the cusp of a monetary revolution, and Bitcoin is at the center of it.
In Summary
The future painted by this analysis is one where Bitcoin replaces or significantly supplements traditional global currency systems. With institutions, governments, and individuals all racing toward accumulation, the concept of hyperbitcoinization seems not only plausible but inevitable. The key takeaway: owning even a small fraction of Bitcoin today might secure a vast share of future wealth, making early investment both a strategic and potentially transformative move.
Part 12/12:
Prepare yourself for a world where Bitcoin is not just an asset but the backbone of the global financial system.

How to Stop Being Poor: A Bitcoin-Fueled Manifesto Against the Fiat Slave System
The Birth of the Financial Trap
In a provocative and fiery address, Adam Livingston, self-styled as the "Bitcoin Wizard," lays bare the brutal reality of modern financial slavery. He begins with a blunt critique of the system into which most people are born—an insidious fiat "death cult" led by unseen "lizard priests" who manipulate currency to keep the masses enslaved. From the moment of birth, Livingston asserts, we are conditioned through 13 years of schooling that neglects financial literacy, instead instilling obedience, fear of authority, and reliance on government-approved degrees that serve the system.
Part 2/15:
This cycle culminates in debt, exemplified by the $94,000 Greenspan whispers into newborn ears—symbolic of the national debt we've inherited—and the propaganda encouraging us to chase shiny jobs, expensive degrees, and material possessions, all while our purchasing power erodes and our freedom shrinks. Living in cramped apartments above vape shops, driving aging cars, and struggling with skyrocketing rent and credit card debt, workers are portrayed as "collateral" in the system—a pawn sacrificed to sustain the fiat economy.
The Fiat System: A Deliberate Molt
Part 3/15:
Livingston describes the monetary system as a carefully constructed house of cards designed for exploitation. He laments how inflation, particularly the 2% rate, slowly but surely rots away the value of savings—almost 50% over three decades—reducing your dollar to a worthless slip of paper. The U.S. fiat dollar's departure from the gold standard in 1971, under Nixon, is framed as the turning point where real wages stagnated while costs for housing, healthcare, and education skyrocketed.
Part 4/15:
The narrative underscores a system that prefers to fragment and weaken individual financial stability while enriching those who print money—Wall Street elites, governments, and the "can-taloupe" class—who benefit from interest-free loans and asset inflation. Meanwhile, everyday Americans face a relentless cycle of paycheck erosion, debt, and despair. Living Livingston presses that the system isn't broken—it is functioning exactly as designed to siphon wealth from the many to feed the few.
The Illusion of Personal Responsibility
Part 5/15:
Amidst the chaos, the common advice—budgeting better, cutting coffee, investing in mutual funds—is dismissed as meaningless in this rigged game. Such "normie" financial tips are called out as illusionary, designed to keep individuals compliant and distracted from systemic theft. He explains that trying to "budget your way out" of a collapsing system is futile because the entire financial architecture is a pyramid scheme predicated on ongoing debt and inflation.
Part 6/15:
The relentless message is clear: You are not in control. Instead, you're an "asset" feeding the machine, your labor and savings used as collateral in a system that profits off your quiet suffering. Personal effort alone won't escape this trap; it's fundamentally designed to keep you ensnared and impoverished, while the system's architects thrive on your compliance.
The Critical Damage: You Are Not a Citizen, You Are a Cow
Part 7/15:
Livingston dramatically redefines the narrative: Americans are no longer citizens—they are "cows" on a giant, centralized dairy farm. Their labor, health, and very existence are milked for profit, with their earnings shrinking in value with each passing year. The system transforms work from a means of self-sufficiency into a harness—an oppressive leash ensuring constant dependency.
He accentuates how every paycheck becomes a promise of future poverty: taxes, inflation, rent hikes, and medical bills drain the individual, while financial institutions and elites leverage interest-free debt and asset inflation to build wealth. Essentially, every worker is a "yield" producing profit for the wealthy classes, who own and manipulate the system behind the scenes.
Part 8/15:
The House of Cards Crumbles—Why Fiat Will Never Save You
Livingston dives into the mechanics of fiat currency and inflation, illustrating how every dollar steadily loses its value—2% inflation isn't just a "mild" cost but a death sentence for savings. Since Nixon disconnected the dollar from gold, the system has operated on trust and debt, leading to stagnant real wages, surging costs, and a never-ending devaluation strategy.
He vividly compares the system to a carnival shell game, where the illusion of progress is maintained while the dollar's value erodes. The Federal Reserve's policies are mockingly described as "monetary eugenics"—deliberate asset stripping dressed up as economic management—making genuine reform or recovery impossible within the current framework.
Part 9/15:
The System’s Ultimate Weapon: Debt and Obedience
Livingston paints a stark picture: the entire economy is a "vampire" draining the wealth and energy of ordinary people. Workers are exploited through a cycle of work, taxes, and inflation, all designed to keep them dependent. Personal finance advice—like saving more or cutting lattes—is ridiculed because the problem isn't individual mismanagement but systemic theft.
Part 10/15:
He emphasizes that the system treats workers not as citizens but as "yield-bearing assets," exploited until they burn out. The system Glorifies profits for the banks and elites, who profit from interest, bailouts, and asset inflation, while average Americans struggle with overdraft fees, rising rent, and crushing debt. The entire infrastructure is engineered for quiet extraction, not prosperity.
Bitcoin: The Revolt and the Escape
The core message is revolutionary: the only way out of this system is to exit entirely. Livingston rebuffs the dangerous myth that Bitcoin is merely an "investment," asserting it's a declaration of war—a middle finger to a fiat system built on lies.
Part 11/15:
Bitcoin, he explains, is a form of preservation of energy and time—a "financial immortality"—that doesn't inflate, devalue, or collapse like fiat. It's free from government control, censorship, and bailouts. Unlike traditional money, Bitcoin requires no trust—only ownership of keys and verification of the blockchain—making it the ultimate weapon against time theft and systemic degradation.
He warns that if Bitcoin crashes, it’s not the end but part of the gamble to leave a doomed and decaying system before it fully implodes. Bitcoin is rooted in mathematical certainty, providing a secure and censorship-resistant monetary system that aligns with natural laws rather than political whims.
How to Break Free: Practical Steps
Part 12/15:
Livingston lays out a clear blueprint for escaping the fiat death spiral:
Stack sats relentlessly—buy Bitcoin consistently, regardless of price dips or hype. This is a act of defiance—a habit of rebellion.
Learn self-custody—own your keys. Store your Bitcoin securely yourself, not on exchanges, to avoid third-party control and risk of confiscation.
Opt out of fiat savings vehicles—close or abandon retirement accounts and mutual funds that tie your wealth to the dying system. Convert excess cash into Bitcoin.
Study monetary history—understand how the system was built to enslave, and how Bitcoin restores sound money principles.
Part 13/15:
The Final Exit: Reclaiming Sovereignty
Livingston concludes with an emotional appeal to those who’ve been misled or left behind. His message is empowering: your parents were deceived into trusting a system that’s doomed, but you can choose sovereignty. Bitcoin is more than money—it's a form of resistance, a lifeboat, an ark through the floodwaters of fiat collapse.
Part 14/15:
He urges listeners to unplug from the system by acquiring a simple hardware wallet, holding their keys, and preparing to leave the fiat "carnival" behind. This isn’t about getting rich; it’s about being free—free from control, inflation, and systemic theft.
Conclusion: Choose Freedom Over Debt
In a closing rallying cry, Livingston reminds us that we were born into a system we didn't choose—one built for exploitation. But now, with Bitcoin, we have the power to reclaim our time, energy, and future. The system is designed to feed off our sacrifices—yet, we can opt out and build anew.
Part 15/15:
Bitcoin isn't just an asset—it's a revolution, a weapon, and an escape route from financial slavery. The question is whether you will continue to be a passive participant in the grand deception or take control and break free.
"Buy Bitcoin, hold it yourself, and exit the flaming carnival with your soul intact."

The Battle of Verdun: An Enduring Symbol of World War I
The Battle of Verdun, ongoing for over a month, remains one of the most brutal and symbolic conflicts of World War I. With death tolls surpassing 150,000 soldiers and no clear end in sight, this week’s exploration takes a deeper look at the history of Verdun and its fortifications, revealing how the city became a crucial strategic and symbolic stronghold.
Strategic Significance of Verdun and Its Fortifications
Part 2/14:
Verdun's military importance dates back to Roman times, when it was a fortified camp called Virodunum, besieged by Attila the Hun. Its strategic significance persisted through the centuries, with the Treaty of Verdun in 843 forming the division of Charlemagne's empire into what would become France and Germany. After falling under German control in 923, Verdun remained a key military site for over six centuries, reflecting its importance in regional power struggles.
Part 3/14:
By the time of World War I, Verdun was famed as the world's strongest fortress, especially after its role in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 when it was the last French stronghold to fall during the Prusso-French conflict. Its impregnable reputation was notably tested during the Battle of the Marne, where the fortress served as a critical refuge and a last line of defense, preventing the fall of Paris and perhaps the entire French war effort.
Natural and Built Defenses: The Topography and Fortifications
Part 4/14:
The battlefield’s terrain was naturally advantageous for defenders. Verdun protruded into the German-held region, with steep hills and ridges providing natural fortifications. These elevations offered formidable vantage points, allowing French forces to launch counterattacks from hidden positions behind the ridges. The Germans, recognizing this, constructed an extensive network of 20 major forts and numerous smaller defenses around Verdun as early as 1914, aimed at encircling and conquering the city.
Part 5/14:
The key fortifications included Douaumont and Vaux, which sat on strategic hills, with Douaumont falling to German forces in February 1916 without a fight. Despite this loss, other critical forts remained under French control, becoming vital defensive bastions. The fortifications were equipped with ironclad shells, heavy artillery, machine gun nests, underground shelters, and reinforced concrete, making them formidable and difficult to neutralize.
The Forts and Their Role in the Battle
Part 6/14:
The French and Germans understood that well-placed forts could serve as both defensive strongholds and offensive launching points. Each fort along the ridges could target approaching enemy forces with concentrated artillery fire. The forts' underground bunkers and reinforced walls made them resilient to intense shelling.
The Battle of Verdun saw the Germans aiming to capture these forts, particularly Douaumont, which fell early in the campaign. However, Vaux and others remained in French hands, providing crucial lines of defense. The landscape and the forts created a natural fortress that could be held with fewer troops if well supplied and defended.
Lessons from Early World War I and Evolving Warfare
Part 7/14:
Initial assumptions post-1914 suggested that ancient fortifications had become obsolete due to modern artillery. Early German advances in Belgium, which quickly captured falling Belgian forts like Liège and Namur, seemed to confirm this. But Verdun proved otherwise: old forts, when properly garrisoned and supported, could withstand prolonged artillery bombardment and even serve as a backbone for trench defenses.
The French strategy emphasized holding Verdun at all costs, engaging in attrition warfare, and preventing Germans from breaking through to Paris. The terrain’s natural features provided key defensive positions, which the French utilized effectively.
Part 8/14:
On the battlefield, the fighting involved brutal trench warfare, with key heights like the Mort Homme and Hill 304 becoming focal points. The Germans aimed to capture these heights to control the surrounding area, but repeated assaults encountered fierce resistance from entrenched French forces.
Key Battles and Tactics on the Verdun Front
The fighting was characterized by intense, prolonged assaults with massive casualties. The Germans launched a major offensive on March 26, 1916, targeting the village of Malancourt and locations around Avocourt, seeking to gain control of the crucial Hill 304. Despite initial gains, the Germans faced stiff French resistance, particularly from defenders atop Mort Homme, which became central to the battle’s turning points.
Part 9/14:
One notable event was the death of Henri de Malleray, a French officer leading an attack, exemplifying the high cost paid by commanders. The French suffered heavy losses, with one division losing three of its four colonels within a month. The front line was a graveyard of men and machinery, with entire divisions struggling to keep supply lines open amid continuous artillery shelling.
Human Cost of the Battle
Part 10/14:
The sheer scale of human losses during the first month of Verdun was staggering. French casualties totaled approximately 89,000, with German losses close behind at over 81,600. The high casualties affected all ranks, with senior officers, including colonels, being killed in action at an astonishing rate. Horses, essential for logistics and towage, also suffered greatly, with around 7,000 dying in a single day due to shellfire.
The logistics to sustain the battle were immense—tens of thousands of tons of supplies and hundreds of thousands of soldiers continually moved through narrow and dangerous routes, like the 'Sacred Way,' to maintain the French defense.
The Broader Context: The Eastern Front and Global Impact
Part 11/14:
While Verdun raged, the Eastern Front saw fierce fighting, including a significant Russian offensive near Lake Narač. Despite initially overwhelming odds, the Russians suffered heavy losses—over 28,000 men in a single day—due to disorganized artillery and poor coordination with infantry. Their push towards Vilnius was halted after intense fighting, with Russian casualties remaining high.
The Russian government experienced political turmoil as well. On March 29, 1916, Minister of War Alexei Polivanov resigned under pressure from Tsar Nicholas II, replaced by Dmitrij Šuvajev. This political upheaval threatened the already fragile Russian war effort, which was plagued by logistical issues, poor coordination, and mounting casualties.
Part 12/14:
Meanwhile, the naval war saw German submarines torpedoing Allied ships, including the Folkestone-Dieppe ferry Sussex, resulting in the deaths of 50 civilians, including the Spanish composer Enrique Granados. In the Black Sea, German U-boat U33 sank a French hospital ship, Portugal, killing 115 crew and patients, highlighting the constant danger at sea during this period.
The Cost of War: Death and Strategy
Part 13/14:
The war's brutal toll was evident across all fronts. The high casualties on both the Western and Eastern fronts underscored the war's destructive nature. Notably, the belief that Russian recruits were inexhaustible was challenged by the staggering loss of life, and the consequences of such losses were felt acutely in France and Germany, which lacked Russia’s seemingly endless manpower.
The intense and costly battles at Verdun symbolized the futility and devastation of modern warfare, with battles often turning into relentless grindstones grinding down entire armies. The persistent fighting proved that even outdated fortifications could serve as vital defensive anchors, challenging early assumptions about the obsolescence of such structures.
Part 14/14:
Conclusion: Verdun as a Symbol of Resilience and Human Cost
The Battle of Verdun exemplified the devastating nature of World War I, marked by monumental sacrifices, strategic importance, and enduring symbolism. The natural terrain, extensive fortifications, and tactical defenses turned Verdun into a fortress that, despite heavy losses, refused to fall. As the war continued into its second year, the lessons learned there about endurance, fortification, and attrition shaped future military strategies.
Ultimately, Verdun remains a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, a battlefield where the defenders held on against overwhelming odds, sacrificing countless lives in a relentless struggle that defined an era.

A question for those with military expertise:
If Ukraine possesses enough drones to target anything on the move, what would be the fate of Russian forces if they managed to break through the front line and seize significant territory?
Wouldn't they be stepping into a highly dangerous zone?
Moreover, could Ukraine potentially decimate much of the Russian military by allowing them to advance and become vulnerable in open terrain?
