Absolutely! It was brilliantly made back then! I didn't see it when it first came out, I had to wait some years. I'm from 1989 (you probably figured that already), so I was a bit too young to see it back then 😂

Beauty embodies the essence of life, and vigor represents determination. Without life's energy, vigor cannot exist, meaning beauty is fundamental to vigor. Beauty inherently possesses its own will, aligned with the highest aspirations.

It is a complete scam. Banks are so short on paper they can't afford to let it run so they dig themselves deeper by shorting more. Then they go with the "too big to fail" mantra and the government ends up bailing them out. These people should be locked up with the pedophiles. But I don't really have strong feelings one way or the other.
Im very excited about this one, although 90% from critics says nothing as we know votes do get bought, release in 11 days from now

Fire quickly spreads disaster, while climate change progresses more slowly, yet reactions from people bear some resemblance. Initially, it's common to wish the issue isn't severe and hope that others will resolve it.
Being single and unhappy won’t lead to happiness in a relationship either. True joy isn't found in others but in moments like seeing Palantir reach new peaks with friends online.

LeoStrategy will likely hold 1.5M LEO by the time we are done buying with our initial sale proceeds along with the revenue that is already being generated by our various mechanisms
The LEO price may trade closer to $0.20 in the coming days/weeks. This will put the value of LSTR holdings at $300,000 meaning the fair value of LSTR tokens should be $3.00.
Currently, LSTR is trading for $1.45
The more revenue we generate, the more LEO Per Share (LPS) that we accrue for LSTR shareholders. With the above capital stack, LPS is 15 LEO per share of LSTR
Every revenue-generating app/service/product we launch simply buys more LEO and stakes it permanently as accretive LPS for LSTR shareholders
That 15 LEO Per Share of LSTR metric will continue to rise over time and as LEO's USD valuation rises, LSTR becomes a leveraged ETF with increasing exposure to the LEO asset. Imagine 30 LPS. If LEO is $1, LSTR's fair valuation would be $30 per share
Actually, I was imagining a 50 LPS and a $10 LEO but in my vision a lot has to do with how much volume is going through LeoDex. That is $500 per share. Time will tell how the next round of LSTR sales goes.
The Federal Reserve Act in 1913 introduced The Fed, and a federal income tax was implemented. Another key moment was on August 15, 1971, when Nixon ended the gold standard, following earlier steps that led to this decision.
ha ha. Yeah. I’ve wondered when I’ll take some profits. I probably will take a small amount when it hits$1 to take my family on a vacation. Then I’ll be holding the rest.
I'm probably looking more at the $10 range. I need thousands of dollars to do some of the things I want to get done, so I don't want to shorten my stack much until I can get a nice, fat chunk all at once. I don't want to have to sell 50k to get $50k and anything less I'd probably spend on stupid shit. lol
Until they get KK97 signed, all optimism is put on hold. Seems like even if the do get him signed, it may be another year. Although they are setting themselves up to get a big name at the trade deadline if they're in the hunt.
In the meantime, I'm a LOT more optimistic about LEO/LSTR. I was trying to catch you while you were gone, but I didn't quite make it. When this thing hits $100, I'm going to come party in Australia. 😁
My question is: how high does LEO and/or LSTR need to go before I can borrow against it? I wanna use @khal's strategy with his BTC. I want to keep my entire stack until $100 and just use the money while it gets there.
Probably USDC. If your assets are worth, say, $100k, then you borrow like $25k in USDC, pay yourself back with interest, and then hopefully close out the position by selling a small piece of the asset when it becomes worth $1M.
Better yet we get a 0% loan in LUSD (Leo USD) and never have to pay it back but pay a fee to borrow it. Depending on your country loans are not taxable income but you would have to check laws for your government.
Right, but it will. At these prices, it's not really feasible. But at $10 LEO? $50 LEO? $100 LSTR? When the ecosystem has say....$500M inside of it, now it becomes a possibility.
100%. But at a $3M market cap, why build it? It's not worth it. But when it's $500M? $1B? then it's worth building. Pretty sure Khal already has it in the back of his mind.
Good morning to everyone in the crypto community. Remain focused and avoid distractions to stay on track with your investment and financial objectives!
In the past, battles were fought with swords and horses. Today, it's drones, jets, and technology-driven warfare. Even Julius Caesar would struggle against a nation armed with WiFi and ballistic capabilities.
Making profits in 2021 is great, but without growth, a 17-year-old leveraging tools like ChatGPT, Arkham, and DeFi dashboards will surpass you while simultaneously leveling up in video games.
Clinging to outdated thinking leads to financial loss, while embracing AI and on-chain tools could be transformative. Approach trading with a 2025 mindset, not a 2021 one.
Siempre en las miniaturas se te ve con la boca abierta. Me pregunté por mucho tiempo cómo influye en las visualizaciones. Desde mi perspectiva, es como que se genera una apariencia o percepción de alguien motivado y proactivo, lo que podría ser algo que sume mucho. Otras personas también están sosteniendo un micrófono o con el micrófono del auricular, lo que podría dar la impresión de que esa persona es talentosa en el ambiente de las conferencias y charlas.
¿Alguna vez te lo has planteado? Solo es una curiosidad; te buscaré en el TikTok.
This week, the weather seemed to suggest a return of warmth, but it ended up turning cold. It was quite warm at 19°C, but right now it's 9°C. I guess it won't be long before the warmer weather season arrives, as we enter spring.
Desperate measures to save Intel: US reportedly forcing TSMC to buy 49% stake in Intel to secure tariff relief for Taiwan
Currently standing at 20%, the US trade tariff on #Taiwan is more than that of countries like Japan (15%).
The US have mandated #TSMC fulfill 2 conditions if Taiwan is to see any #tariff reduction:
1. Buy a 49% stake in Intel
2. Invest a further $400 billion in the US
TSMC is already investing a ton of money in the US, and is on its way to building two more fabs at its Arizona facility, with a total of $165 billion of planned investment in the US.
The US is trying to save #Intel from collapse (annual revenue freefall from $79 billion in 2021 to $53 billion in 2024), by forcing TSMC to inject some much-needed capital into the company and keep the US government's plans of a domestic #chip supply chain afloat.
Sometimes obfuscation and a disappearing act can serve as an immaculate conception
Like Bitcoin with Satoshi
With a public-facing board and now a handful of us guiding it, I think LeoStrategy can become what I envision to be a second layer financial network on top of the $LEO economy
It’s as important that it started this way as it is important that we add more public-facing people to the board to ensure more trust and decentralization can emerge with time
Yeah pool to exit will help people who want out to get out
Over time, the LP will trend with the value of the underlying holdings. Equity value trading based on the holdings value of the fund
If the fund can generate revenue from means that aren't typically accessible to a normal investor in LEO, then LSTR will outperform LEO and serve as a leveraged ETF
Lots of plans on this front. Now to execute them. LSTR will be a massive driver of economic activity to LEO
Nah, I don't think Litecoin's dead. It's still got a solid user base and faster transactions than Bitcoin. Sure, the 2017 dump was rough, but it's been hanging in there as a reliable altcoin for payments and stuff
Yeah, there’s Ociswap, a DEX built on the Radix network. It’s designed for easy token swaps with solid liquidity and a user-friendly setup. Check it out if you’re curious about trading on Radix
Not at the moment, as far as I know. Ociswap operates on Radix, but there’s no direct integration with THORChain’s ecosystem yet. Might be something to watch for in the future though
Froom 40 Days countdown to $USDC earning on $LEO staking, I promised my friends and followers on X that I will be sharing 40 reasons they should get involved.
But I think I need inputs here. What will I be saying for these 40 days?
I'd suggest you listen to the latest recorded INLEO AMA's, and read the threads that Khal has been publishing for the last month: there, you'll find at least 40 mechanisms or reasons that are poised to turn into successes the LEO Tokenomics 2.0 & the LSTR Tokenomics 😀.
What a day! Today, 5 Aug, 2025 is a day I will long remember as the day LEO began it's climb into relevance, and ultimately, to a dominant place in the cryptosphere. Belief is a powerful thing and after 6+ years being a part of this community, I've never believed more strongly in the future Khal & Co are building. This thing is going to fucking Work!!!
The LP on HE still gets the curation rewards from posting, threading, and voting. That is what the SIRP is paying out. It buys LEO each day and pays the curation rewards. At least that's how I understand it. The sLEO will get a USDC yield from staking it on Arbitrum. Two different things. With sLEO, you can make a yield in a stablecoin and do whatever you want with it. For example, buy more LEO and compound. On HE, you get paid in liquid LEO from the SIRP for your curation. You have to decide which is more important to you. I will probably split mine at some point, but for now, I'm just going to keep it here and earn more LEO.
Right but the stake you have on H-E doesnt 'do' anything per se. They take snap shots of what you have, to determine what you are getting from the SIRP.
The stake on H-E has no inflation, so it's just a dynamic number that can change on a bunch of factors, not related to how much stake you have?
Not true. I'm not sure how they calculate it, but if you don't do any curating or posting, you don't get anything from the SIRP.
Khal also said on the AMA today that you will be able to delegate your LP to...I think he said LSTR.voter...and earn a daily return from that. Then you don't have to curate to get Leo from the SIRP. You get it from the LSTR.voter curation. Which they plan to do a lot of since it will be buying LEO and staking it with the HBD earned, and of course the LEO they get from the SIRP. The HP that is earned will be left as HP and then delegated to...I think he said Leo.voter...and will earn the 16% (or whatever it is). Hard to keep all these names and numbers straight. lol
@uyobong Go back and listen to the AMA and start listing, one by one, all the ways LEO and LSTR are going to be drawing revenue into the tokens. The first 5-7 are easy. After that, you can start listing all the AI stuff that will be capturing value behind the scenes. According to Khal, that list will eventually be hundreds, if not thousands strong over the coming months. LEO is going to be a black hole, soaking up revenue and locking up tokens, compounding what it has and what it continues to earn along the way. All with a deflationary token. The greatest thing is that even if we don't buy, the Protocol will, because it HAS to. It will just keep generating revenue, hour after hour and day after day, and it will buy LEO off the market, lock it up, and then generate more earnings the next day. Genius.
You said you had to give 40 reasons in 40 days. I would start with the fact that LEO is now deflationary. No new tokens will ever be minted. It's now capped at 30M. And it will burn the tokens paid in fees every time someone bridges LEO from one chain to another. bLEO>pLEO>wLEO>sLEO>heLEO. Any moving from one chain to another generates a small fee and LEO burns those tokens. Thus, the 30M tokens becomes less. Right now I think @3000 tokens have been burned, so it's not a big number, but the key is its going down, not up.
Next I would start listing all the mechanisms that will automatically buy LEO off the market every single day. The SIRP, LSTR, the pools, the AI bots, eventually ad revenue (probably?), and there are more I can't think of right now. Listen to the AMA and make a list. That should give you at least a couple weeks worth of "one a day" reasons.
LSTR:LEO is live on Hive-Engine with LSTR trading at $1.55. The value of LSTR's holdings is ~$171,000 now which means that each 1 share of LSTR is backed by $1.71
LSTR is trading at a discount of $0.16 per share or 9.35%
Over long periods of time, the value of LSTR will trend at a slight premium. In the short-term, volatility is to be expected. Buying when LSTR is at a discount and selling when it is at a premium is called Volatility Harvesting and may be something we can design into the LSTR fund itself.
I'm exploring some ideas with their team about how to execute a market maker like this which would harvest volatility and invest it back into more LEO (this is what MSTR does to drive 99.99% of their revenues from BTC holdings - aka what they call "yield")
I'd think it's not 2024 - 2025, as for those last 12 months the death rate has been higher than the birth rate in neighboring France (where the percentage of injected people was quite similar to the UK's, as far as I know).
That increase is for 2023, based on Worldometers data. I’m not sure about the exact birth vs death rates in the UK or France for 2024-25, but migration seems to be a big factor lately
Dedicate a minute daily to reach out to someone with a message of gratitude. Think about someone you haven't spoken to in a while. Whether it's a quick text or a brief voice note, it can make a difference.
Good morning. I just woke up. It's raining and the rain is kind of unexpected for me as yesterday was a sunny day and I didn't expect to rain today. Whatever, it's good that the weather became cool. I like it. I hope it will be a good and productive day. What about you?
Some focus on spending to wow people they don't know, while others prefer to save and maintain peace of mind. One approach is about constructing a fulfilling life, the other about crafting an appealing facade.
The best thing about crypto, and LEO especially, is that I can go to bed and wake up tomorrow to a higher price. Making money while I sleep. Isn't that the dream? 🙂
With the successful shipment of 'The Seeker" - the Solana-powered smartphone with AI agents, a built-in crypto wallet, Seed Vault for secure key storage, and a Solana dApp Store, it is obvious that Web3 smartphones are here to stay.

Working on a design that will likely be launched through LeoStrategy and allow for collateralized lending on your LEO
Stake sLEO as collateral (sLEO is staked Leo on Arbitrum)
LSTR gives you a loan in stablecoins
While holding your sLEO, LSTR earns the yield it generates
When you want to close your loan, you pay back the stablecoin and get your sLEO back
This would be another revenue-generating product for LeoStrategy. 100% of the revenue would buy more LEO and perma stake it in the fund. This revenue supports the price of LEO over long timeframes and also bolsters LSTR’s balance sheet
This is incredible.
I hope you also make the repayment modules flexible and creative such as paying back in bits through % beneficiary to Leostrategy (just thinking)
The Across USDT liquidity pool is now enabling transfers to the BNBCHAIN. There's an opportunity to stake USDT at approximately 10% annual percentage yield, with an added benefit for long-term staking.
LSTR initial sale buyers are up 40%+ in just 12 hours since the initial sale closed
Yet, LSTR is still trading at a discount
The economic engine is just starting to whirr. The first major source of revenue will go live this week for LSTR and will be the kickstart of utility for LSTR token holders + value accretion to the LSTR shares based on the "LPS" metric
LPS = Leo Per Share. LSTR's mandate is simply to increase the amount of LEO Per Share of outstanding LSTR that exists. Right now, it's about 15 LEO Per Share ($1.725 per share).
This means LSTR should be trading at $1.725 if it was valued simply based on the funds backing the LSTR token. Buying it at a discount will work well in long timeframes

NASA has selected six companies, including Rocket Lab, to conduct focused research on launching and delivering spacecraft of varying sizes and shapes to challenging and hard-to-reach orbits at lower cost.
This is a very good initiative. Even though the perks that come with premium are worth it, the icing is totally welcomed for those that can make long form posts.
I’m trying to focus on work and creative projects but here LEO is showing now weakness and getting me excited about 1:1 with Hive. Will buy some more Leostrategy when that happens.
Instead of panicking, view this as the start of an immense opportunity to create a cleaner, more intelligent, and bio-safe world using advanced materials. Are you prepared to tackle this challenge?
I'm noticing their new strategy right now... I get at least one @leo.voter upvote per day when I post daily. (Haven't did a whole week in row, though.)
I see some accounts who has articles voted by leo.voter basically every day and other accounts where it almost doesn't show.
I don't see a difference in delegation or anything else that can influence it. There is only 1 thing in key difference. Time of the day it is posted.
I wish I could clean mirrors for a living. It's just something I can see myself doing. Credit: reddit @caspermoeller89, I sent you an $LOLZ on behalf of rainbowdash4l
This is an interesting point, I've noticed the same. I think posts made in the morning (Europe time) might not get the same attention than the ones made in the evening.
From what I can see around 2-4 at night (CET) seems the best. I have made my latest posts around dinner timeand I haven't seen any votes.
Just trying to figure out if the time of day is actually that important or if there is something else I'm missing (except posting more, of course)
!BBH
Yeah, need to try out something different... yes, we can schedule posts but if I'm creating a market update, it's time sensitive and doesn't quite work if published later on...
I had two different times (about an hour apart), to see the difference. I think it's best from 2 and onwards, maybe up to 6 in the morning, but I don't know.
If you want to take advantage of it and still do the analysis, maybe you should do an analysis of how the market moved and what it could mean for the next day 💪🏼
Yes if you post late night american hours you may notice some votes, if you check morning to mid day of american hours you'd find those curators barely give vote or none at all. Curators seems to ignore a lot of posts posted american morning to mid day hours.
Should that matter with the leo.voter account?
I mean, it's voting on content from premium members. I wouldn't be surprised if time of day has something to say in this matter though, despite being a premium-only service
Imagine the whole of HIVE as a big bowl of soup and your post is just a little piece of sliced vegetable you throw in there … for a day it‘ll swim around on top and then it gets soaked and sinks down the pott pretty fast …
From my experience, timing plays a major factor in getting voted by love.voter, and I also believe they have a special way of picking accounts to be upvovoted weekly, and consistency too can be a factor.
I had made a post of this years ago. I pulled from data to see if this is actually true (When are people posting vs when are people voting) and yes there were couple of hours which I don't remember now where the voting activity was high.
We earn from fees. The thing is, if you believe both LEO and LSTR will go up in the future, go hand in hand, there won't be significant impermanent loss.
$LEO is poised to surpass $HIVE in price, as it does not directly react to $BITCOIN's price fluctuations or sudden drops. Has anyone else noticed this trend?
i've also noticed it going up lately, which is wonderful. at this pace the price will pass Hive relatively shortly. the market cap is another story though
When a respected individual expresses an opinion that you disagree with and you can effectively and effortlessly deconstruct their argument in a logical and convincing way, it's a stark reminder that everyone, including them, can have blind spots.
Yeah, I usually do. Respect isn't just about agreeing on everything—it's more about their overall character and past contributions. Blind spots don't erase that
You're spot-on. Respecting someone doesn't mean endorsing every word they say it's about valuing their character and track record. Blind spots are just human, not a dealbreaker for respect.
Beem honest wasnt so bad, yeah there were things that were inconclusive or lack context and happen just because but its a silly movie with some action into it, almost a "teen ager" movie just to be amaze or scared by the Dinosaurs, not an action movie to be taken serious, good one time watch, I gave it a 7/10
#skiptvads, #nowwatching, #clips, #moviesonleo
In a profound reflection on communication and consciousness, the speaker begins with a simple yet insightful analogy: if you talk all the time, you'll never hear what anybody else has to say. This highlights a fundamental truth about human interaction—the importance of listening. When we're constantly engaged in our own words, whether spoken aloud or internally, we drown out the voices and perspectives of others.
This phenomenon extends inwardly as well, in the form of self-talk or subvocal conversation. Our minds are often filled with a continuous barrage of symbols, images, and words that chatter endlessly inside our skulls. While this internal dialogue might seem natural, it's a trap that can lead to a kind of mental stagnation. When the mind is preoccupied with its own incessant chatter, it leaves no room to contemplate or truly perceive the world around us.
The speaker emphasizes that if you do that all the time, you'll find that you have nothing to think about except thinking itself. This recursive cycle can create a mental dead end, where the richness of experience is lost in the web of thoughts. To truly understand life, one must sometimes cease the mental activity that clouds perception.
Just like in conversation, where sometimes silence is necessary to truly listen, in thinking, silence is essential to observe and comprehend reality. When we stop our internal chatter, we're able to connect directly with what Kjipsky (a possibly fictional or symbolic figure) refers to as the unspeakable world—a realm beyond words, descriptions, and classifications.
This unspeakable world is all around us — in the simplest sights, sounds, and smells. It’s the texture of shadows cast on the floor or the subtle nuances of a fragrance. These sensory experiences are often overlooked because we instinctively name and label them: that's a shadow, that's red, that's a person's foot.
However, when we stop naming things, when we detach from our habitual labels and concepts, we begin to see them anew. Without predefined notions, the world reveals itself in its pure form. The act of naming is a way of distorting perception; by constantly categorizing, we limit our understanding of reality.
The speaker illustrates this with a vivid example: when a person claims to see a leaf, our minds automatically conjure an image—a leaf-shaped form outlined in black and filled with a uniform green. But no leaf is truly like that. Leaves are infinitely varied in color, shape, and texture. This highlights how our perceptions are constrained by mental shortcuts and limited sensory frameworks.
He further quotes Izka, who said, "The five colors make a man blind. The five tones make a man deaf." This poetic observation warns of the dangers of reducing the world—and our perception of it—to just a handful of sensory categories. Limiting ourselves to five fixed colors or tones causes blindness and deafness to the infinite diversity that actually exists.
To genuinely hear and see, we must stop fixing our perceptions into narrow concepts. Only through the act of ceasing the mental habit of defining and labeling can one begin to truly hear sounds and see colors in their full depth and richness. This process of letting go reveals an expansive, vibrant universe that normally remains hidden behind our conceptual filters.
The Balance of Order and Liberation
The speaker clarifies that he's not advocating for chaos or a dismissive attitude towards everyday life. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of a basic framework of order and discipline—a structure essential for true liberation. Without some degree of discipline, the force of liberation can become overwhelming, capable of tearing apart the existing world and causing chaos.
He warns that the force of liberation is strong—so strong that it can “blow the world to pieces.” For this reason, a certain disciplined approach is necessary to harness the profound potential of awareness and understanding without destroying what exists. Balance, order, and discipline provide the needed wires to contain and channel this power effectively.
Conclusion: The Path to True Perception
This contemplation ultimately points to a fundamental spiritual insight: true perception arises not from endless thinking or labeling, but from quietness, discipline, and openness. By listening more and internally talking less, by stopping the mental fixation on labels, we can access a deeper, more authentic experience of life.
In the end, it’s about stepping beyond the surface of daily appearances and perceiving the world in its infinite variety and beauty—a world that is only truly visible when we pause our mental chatter and open ourselves to the unspeakable.
Yeah, was listening, that's a big upgrade! Something I've been waiting for. Hope it would be able to pull all LEO, LSTR tokenomics, even charts in the future! That would be great 👍
I'm still stacking HIVE in addition to LEO and LSTR. I believe HIVE could still go higher (if crypto market pumps), gonna unstake some when price is higher and move to HBD.

I thought that was the case, but from my short investigation this morning (while I was still in bed, before coffee) it didn't matter if it was related to that, as long as it is posted from the InLeo platform.
Doesn't look like the community matters either.
Timing decides a lot about to be seen or not to be seen. For us in Europe it doesn‘t work posting at daytime at all unless you have a certain audience for certain things. That‘s why i was nagging the inleo team to get that frogging scheduling done back in the days 💪🏽🦁👍🏽
btw. chatting with “you“, this leostrategy account, is a bit weird, because there‘s still that voice in the back of my head asking: who tf is writing this right now? One person, different people? 🤔
Yes understood that the discussion was mainly aimed at leo.voter. But I also agree that there is very little activity here European time. Hope we can improve that
probably easier if you post it as a paid job since you are a company it should be ok to have expenditures like that. Offering a few LEO as payment might just do the trick for many.
LEO, leodex or LSTR related posts are not favored, the only thing I see that could make a difference is the quality of the Inleo related post and the subject of the post.
Develop a personal strategy on accumulating $LEO. It's simple; You can do this stress free by cutting unnecessary expenses while throwing the funds into buying $LEO
Easier said than done, Blockchain and RL are way too far from connecting for many people. The easiest way to do it is to make reinvesting Hive rewards for Leo.

I enjoyed seeing a wrestling match while growing up because I thought the fights were real, but as grew up into adult and learned that most of the fights were scripted, I lost interest in it. I don't even allow my kids to see a wrestling match on TV, because children love mimicking what they saw on TV.

A Centennial Reflection: The Evolving Turmoil of 1916 and Its Lasting Impact
Introduction
A hundred years ago this week, Ireland was engulfed in the Easter Rising—a pivotal event that reshaped Irish history and echoed through the decades. But as much as the uprising marked a major turning point, it was not the only significant development unfolding at that time. This week’s episode dives deeply into two intently linked yet contrasting stories from April 1916: the Irish rebellion's aftermath and the broader geopolitical maneuvers that would redefine the Middle East in the post-World War I era.
Although not the focus of this particular discussion, the Easter Rising was an essential catalyst for Irish independence. It symbolized a collective effort to challenge centuries of British rule, igniting nationalist fervor that would persist for generations. The rebellion, which began on April 24, 1916, involved armed volunteers seizing key locations in Dublin and declaring an Irish Republic, signaling a shift toward political activism and militant resistance.
A special feature dedicated to this event emphasizes its long-term implications, underscoring how this insurrection sowed seeds for future political upheavals—culminating in the eventual independence of Ireland and contributing to the wave of nationalist movements across Europe and beyond.
Geopolitical Reconfigurations: The Sykes-Picot Agreement
While Ireland's uprising was unfolding, within the vast Ottoman territories, other significant events shaped the world's future. On April 26, 1916, the secret Sykes-Picot Agreement was signed between Britain and France, a clandestine pact that would carve up the Ottoman Empire's remains after the war.
Details of the Agreement
This agreement divided the Middle Eastern Ottoman lands into zones of influence:
France would control Beirut and parts of Syria, including Damascus, establishing a foundation for a future French protectorate.
Britain would oversee Palestine, Acre, and the southern parts of Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq), aiming to secure access points to the oil-rich Gulf.
Russia was promised control over parts of eastern Anatolia and Armenia—though this was never realized.
The map divided along straight lines, ignoring the complex ethnic, tribal, and religious realities on the ground. This arbitrary partition would sow decades of tension, conflict, and instability—effects still felt today.
Impact and Aftermath
The Sykes-Picot Agreement, formally approved by Russia in early 1916, was a betrayal of earlier promises made to Arab leaders by the British, notably in the McMahon-Hussein Correspondence. These conflicting commitments laid the groundwork for enduring regional disputes and fueled resentment towards Western powers among Arab populations.
Centuries later, groups like ISIS would invoke opposition to the Sykes-Picot boundaries as justification for their insurgency, illustrating how these freshly drawn borders continue to shape conflicts across the Middle East.
The Endgame in the Mediterranean and Asia Minor
Meanwhile, naval conflicts and military movements underscored the ongoing struggle for control in the region. The German Kriegsmarine, seeking parity with the Royal Navy, initiated a surprise attack near Lowestoft and Yarmouth on April 25, 1916. The engagement involved dirigibles, submarines, and battlecruisers, with aircraft and watercraft engaging in multi-layered combat.
This sortie was a tactical move to challenge British naval supremacy, reminiscent of the ongoing naval tension that characterized much of World War I.
Simultaneously, the German naval commander Reinhard Scheer was eager to provoke a decisive engagement, and his forces responded actively, demonstrating the German fleet’s willingness to fight. The attack, although limited in scope, symbolized the intense undercurrents of competition in the North Sea and the Atlantic.
The Battle of Kut and the Middle Eastern Theatre
Far from the naval skirmishes, the Mesopotamian front was descending into a desperate stalemate. The British siege of Kut, now under fierce assault from Ottoman forces, epitomized the strategic crossroads of the war in the Middle East.
Without ample supplies—especially water—the beleaguered British and Indian troops at Kut faced imminent surrender. Attempts by Russian forces advancing from Persia aimed to relieve the siege, but they fell short of the besieged garrison, which had exhausted their resources by April.
T.E. Lawrence and other British officers considered strategies to extract their forces from the region, offering valuable gold in exchange for the safe retreat of trapped troops. The brutal terrain, supply shortages, and entrenched Ottoman defenses reflected the expanding scope of the war beyond Europe.
The Warfare in Europe: Trench Warfare and Its Toll
Back in Europe, the fighting at Verdun continued unabated. Since February 21, 1916, French and German forces engaged in one of the war's most infamous battles. By April, the relentless artillery bombardments and ground assaults had resulted in enormous casualties on both sides.
On April 28, German artillery targeted the village of Stavarotche and nearby trenches, seeking to reclaim ground lost in previous weeks. High losses and the brutal attrition tactics dominated this sector, with both sides attempting to seize and hold strategic positions amid the mud and devastation.
The battle was emblematic of the war's grinding nature—high casualties for minimal territorial gains—reflecting the tragic futility that characterized the Western Front.
The Consequences of Boundaries and Broken Promises
Perhaps the most profound insight from this week’s perspective is the recognition that the arbitrary borders drawn in the Middle East have had centuries-long repercussions. The Sykes-Picot Agreement, designed as a short-term wartime maneuver, effectively disregarded the complex realities of local populations and ethnolinguistic identities.
The aftermath of World War I saw these lines used as the basis for modern nation-states, often without regard for existing tribal, religious, or cultural divisions. The result has been persistent conflict, nationalistic upheavals, and ongoing violence—issues that continue to challenge stability in the region a century later.
Moreover, these borders broke long-standing promises of Arab independence post-war, fostering resentment that in recent decades has fueled insurgencies and terror groups, including ISIS, who openly oppose the post-Ottoman division.
Conclusion: War's Enduring Shadows
In sum, 1916 was a moment of intense upheaval—on the battlefield, at the negotiating table, and across a region on the brink of transformation. The Irish uprising symbolized a push for independence, while the secret negotiations and military confrontations in the Middle East laid the groundwork for decades of conflict rooted in colonial legacies.
The war's various theaters—European trenches, Middle Eastern campaigns, and naval skirmishes—demonstrated the brutal complexity and far-reaching consequences of a conflict that transcended mere battlefield victories. The borders drawn in these years continue to influence geopolitics, conflicts, and identities to this day.
The lesson remains clear: the scars of war and the boundaries carved out in its aftermath can have lasting, often tragic, consequences that shape generations. As the host reminds us, war is hell—and its impact extends far beyond the battlefield, etched into the very fabric of nations and peoples.
While the Irish Easter Rising was a defining moment for Irish nationalism, the unseen geopolitical shifts in the Middle East underscore how interconnected and far-reaching the conflicts of a century ago still resonate. These events serve as vital reflections on the costs of war, broken promises, and the enduring struggle for self-determination and peace in a tumultuous world.

Few figures from World War I evoke as much fascination and mystique as T.E. Lawrence, famously known as Lawrence of Arabia. His daring exploits, romantic image, and complex legacy continue to captivate historians, filmmakers, and adventurers alike. In this comprehensive exploration, we delve into the life, military campaigns, and myth-making surrounding one of the most enigmatic personalities of the early 20th century.
Thomas Edward Lawrence was born on August 16, 1888, in Tremadoc, Wales. From a young age, he displayed a profound interest in medieval history and military fortifications. His passion for strategy led him to specialize in military history and tactics during his studies. In 1908, Lawrence joined the Oxford University Officer Training Corps, a program designed to give students practical military training since Britain did not practice conscription at the time.
In 1909, Lawrence was recommended for work in Palestine, sending him to the Ottoman Empire. However, with the advent of World War I in 1914, Britain and the Ottoman Empire found themselves on opposing sides. Consequently, Lawrence was stationed in Cairo, promoted to the rank of captain. His initial work involved inspecting Egyptian sites, monitoring maps, overseeing printing and telecommunications, and cracking codes—tasks that suited his keen intellect and organizational skills.
During the war, Britain aimed to protect strategic assets like the Suez Canal and suppress Ottoman forces. The Gallipoli campaign, the Tigris expedition, and the siege of Kut underscored the intensity of the conflict in the Middle East. Amidst this chaos, British officials negotiated with Sherif Hussein of Mecca, promising support for Arab independence in exchange for rebellion against the Ottomans.
While the British were hesitant to commit fully to Arab independence—preferring to retain influence in the region—secret agreements like the Sykes-Picot Agreement envisioned dividing the Ottoman lands among European powers after the war. Nonetheless, the Arab revolt gained momentum, and Lawrence was appointed to oversee and manage its military efforts.
In June 1916, Lawrence and Ronald Storrs supported Hussein’s son, Faisal, in initiating an Arab uprising against Ottoman rule. Despite initial setbacks—such as the inability to hold key cities and resistance from local populations—Lawrence believed that the Bedouin tribes could be effective against Ottoman infrastructure targets, like railways and bridges. He recognized that Bedouin warriors were brave but not necessarily disciplined for conventional warfare, especially with modern weaponry like aircraft and artillery.
Throughout 1916 and 1917, Lawrence and Faisal’s forces engaged in guerrilla tactics, attacking key targets such as the Hejaz Railway, aiming to cripple Ottoman logistical capabilities. However, the revolt faced numerous challenges: lack of widespread popular support, distrust among Arabs, and the complex realities of regional loyalties. Many Arabs remained loyal to their Ottoman rulers or were indifferent, complicating the British effort to create a unified Arab nation.
As the campaign progressed, British military leaders like General Archibald Murray launched offensives around Gaza, which faced heavy setbacks. Yet, with the weakening of Ottoman hold on Palestine and the gradual erosion of their defenses, Arab forces, supported by British weapons and funds, continued their push.
By late 1917, Arab forces had begun to gain ground, gradually bypassing Ottoman strongholds. Despite limited initial support from the local populations—many of whom remained loyal to the Ottoman Empire—Faisal’s army, aided by Lawrence’s strategic guidance, managed to seize key cities such as Wagh and eventually Damascus in October 1918, marking the culmination of the Arab revolt.
In 1922, Lawrence published Seven Pillars of Wisdom, a semi-autobiographical account that blends history, adventure, and literary flourish. The book’s reliability as a historical document has been debated; some critics see it as a literary creation, embellishing or romanticizing events to craft a larger-than-life myth. Regardless, it cemented Lawrence’s legendary status and fueled his image as a daring adventurer and strategic genius.
Lawrence’s recounting of his wartime exploits often emphasized his independence and ingenuity, describing himself as a solitary hero battling against impossible odds. His claims of daring espionage, such as disguising himself to infiltrate Ottoman lines and being captured and tortured—stories that blur fact and fiction—contribute to his mystique.
One of the most debated episodes in Lawrence’s history is his alleged capture and abuse at Dara. Lawrence claimed he was ambushed, beaten, and mistreated by Ottoman authorities, but some historians question the authenticity of these events. Whether true or exaggerated, such stories added to the dramatic narrative of his wartime heroism.
By mid-1918, the Ottoman Empire was crumbling. British and Arab forces advanced rapidly, leading to the fall of Damascus in October and the end of the Arab revolt. Lawrence’s role was pivotal but often overshadowed by the political aftermath—namely, the Sykes-Picot Agreement and the Treaty of Sèvres, which divided the Middle East into zones of influence controlled by Britain and France, disregarding Arab aspirations.
After the war, Lawrence returned to Britain, troubled by the post-war realities. His memoir, Seven Pillars of Wisdom, captured his complex perspective on the conflict, but it did little to emotionally settle him. He remained a controversial figure—celebrated as a hero, yet criticized for his role in Western imperialism and the betrayal of Arab hopes.
Tragically, Lawrence died at the age of 46 in 1935, following a motorcycle accident. His death marked the end of a remarkable life that had become enshrined in popular culture as a symbol of daring, romance, and the blurred line between myth and history.
Today, the figure of Lawrence remains enigmatic. Was he a heroic liberator, a clever manipulator, or an actor playing a role in a larger geopolitical game? Films, books, and debates continue to explore his true character.
An intriguing anecdote from 1991 underscores the enduring fascination with Lawrence’s legend. During a vintage car auction, a Rolls-Royce once owned by Faisal I was sold. The car bore the Scottish Clan Mackay crest, which was surprisingly just a motif that Faisal liked rather than a symbol of actual Scottish heritage. This story hints at how Lawrence’s legend—like the car’s crest—might sometimes be more about storytelling and perception than fact.
T.E. Lawrence’s life encapsulates the complexities of heroism, myth-making, and imperial power. His exploits in the Arab world elevated him to legendary status, but beneath the myth lies a nuanced man navigating a turbulent geopolitical landscape. Whether viewed as a hero, a manipulator, or a symbol of a bygone era, Lawrence’s story continues to resonate, reminding us of the powerful interplay between history and storytelling, reality and legend. His enduring legacy underscores the timeless human fascination with adventure, identity, and the costs of empire.

The real pump will start when @leostrategy will push the pool. That way arbitrage bots will clear the markets for us and help build support
but timing is everything, might be smart to wait until some more unstaking has happened so we don’t have to pay a premium on dumpers. Give it a month :)
yeah, clearing the orderbook is easy - but that is just a spike that will be arbitraged back down instantly (1. sell of the market vs the pump 2. buy in the pool 3. sell in the market ... repeat until pool price equals marketprice) we have whole army of farming bots doing this...
So the only efficient way to sustainable increase the pool will come from gradually clearing the pool (no big batches at once due to slipperage).

It is a complete scam. Banks are so short on paper they can't afford to let it run so they dig themselves deeper by shorting more. Then they go with the "too big to fail" mantra and the government ends up bailing them out. These people should be locked up with the pedophiles. But I don't really have strong feelings one way or the other.

Let LeoStrategy be your LEO Strategy

https://inleo.io/threads/view/skiptvads/re-leothreads-31eryckb6
LeoStrategy will likely hold 1.5M LEO by the time we are done buying with our initial sale proceeds along with the revenue that is already being generated by our various mechanisms
The LEO price may trade closer to $0.20 in the coming days/weeks. This will put the value of LSTR holdings at $300,000 meaning the fair value of LSTR tokens should be $3.00.
Currently, LSTR is trading for $1.45
The more revenue we generate, the more LEO Per Share (LPS) that we accrue for LSTR shareholders. With the above capital stack, LPS is 15 LEO per share of LSTR
Every revenue-generating app/service/product we launch simply buys more LEO and stakes it permanently as accretive LPS for LSTR shareholders
That 15 LEO Per Share of LSTR metric will continue to rise over time and as LEO's USD valuation rises, LSTR becomes a leveraged ETF with increasing exposure to the LEO asset. Imagine 30 LPS. If LEO is $1, LSTR's fair valuation would be $30 per share
one question. How does the pricing in pool get updated based on the Leo held by @leostrategy?
Unfortunately the pool is not liquid so the discount is difficult to arbitrage.
Actually, I was imagining a 50 LPS and a $10 LEO but in my vision a lot has to do with how much volume is going through LeoDex. That is $500 per share. Time will tell how the next round of LSTR sales goes.
It will be hard to get 1.5M tokens with the liquidity there now. Price is going to spike hard this week.
Amazing
Hold onto your investments, and wealth will follow.
I love doing this with LEO

The problem is, $1 doesn't really do me any good because I won't be selling any there either. Wen $100? Then I might sell a little. 😁
ha ha. Yeah. I’ve wondered when I’ll take some profits. I probably will take a small amount when it hits$1 to take my family on a vacation. Then I’ll be holding the rest.
I'm probably looking more at the $10 range. I need thousands of dollars to do some of the things I want to get done, so I don't want to shorten my stack much until I can get a nice, fat chunk all at once. I don't want to have to sell 50k to get $50k and anything less I'd probably spend on stupid shit. lol

The real question is, how optimistic about the Wild are you for this season?
Until they get KK97 signed, all optimism is put on hold. Seems like even if the do get him signed, it may be another year. Although they are setting themselves up to get a big name at the trade deadline if they're in the hunt.
In the meantime, I'm a LOT more optimistic about LEO/LSTR. I was trying to catch you while you were gone, but I didn't quite make it. When this thing hits $100, I'm going to come party in Australia. 😁

Today was a busy day, but I thank God for everything
My question is: how high does LEO and/or LSTR need to go before I can borrow against it? I wanna use @khal's strategy with his BTC. I want to keep my entire stack until $100 and just use the money while it gets there.
but what will we borrow? Sorry if I missed something obvious.
Probably USDC. If your assets are worth, say, $100k, then you borrow like $25k in USDC, pay yourself back with interest, and then hopefully close out the position by selling a small piece of the asset when it becomes worth $1M.
Better yet we get a 0% loan in LUSD (Leo USD) and never have to pay it back but pay a fee to borrow it. Depending on your country loans are not taxable income but you would have to check laws for your government.
Got it. Makes sense.
it’s not a matter of price.
The loan infrastructure doesn’t exist
Right, but it will. At these prices, it's not really feasible. But at $10 LEO? $50 LEO? $100 LSTR? When the ecosystem has say....$500M inside of it, now it becomes a possibility.
no it still needs a mechanism built.
The value of it will not magically build this.
100%. But at a $3M market cap, why build it? It's not worth it. But when it's $500M? $1B? then it's worth building. Pretty sure Khal already has it in the back of his mind.
coming soon ;)

Desperate measures to save Intel: US reportedly forcing TSMC to buy 49% stake in Intel to secure tariff relief for Taiwan
Currently standing at 20%, the US trade tariff on #Taiwan is more than that of countries like Japan (15%).
The US have mandated #TSMC fulfill 2 conditions if Taiwan is to see any #tariff reduction:
1. Buy a 49% stake in Intel
2. Invest a further $400 billion in the US
TSMC is already investing a ton of money in the US, and is on its way to building two more fabs at its Arizona facility, with a total of $165 billion of planned investment in the US.
The US is trying to save #Intel from collapse (annual revenue freefall from $79 billion in 2021 to $53 billion in 2024), by forcing TSMC to inject some much-needed capital into the company and keep the US government's plans of a domestic #chip supply chain afloat.

With a public-facing board and now a handful of us guiding it, I think LeoStrategy can become what I envision to be a second layer financial network on top of the $LEO economy
It’s as important that it started this way as it is important that we add more public-facing people to the board to ensure more trust and decentralization can emerge with time
it’s fine. Just doesn’t mean I have to agree with it.
Like I said once the liquidity issue was solved with a pool for exit.
I have zero issues with it.
Yeah pool to exit will help people who want out to get out
Over time, the LP will trend with the value of the underlying holdings. Equity value trading based on the holdings value of the fund
If the fund can generate revenue from means that aren't typically accessible to a normal investor in LEO, then LSTR will outperform LEO and serve as a leveraged ETF
Lots of plans on this front. Now to execute them. LSTR will be a massive driver of economic activity to LEO
as long as they are doing everything they are promising I don't mind or even want to know who is behind it
I am old fashioned none of my business deals are with people I have not broken bread with and have shared drinks with.
Oooh! Now I understand where the breadcrumbs token came from 😄.

Does Litecoin remain relevant nowadays?
Yes definitely. It made big news because of price hike
Litecoin died when the founder dumped on everyone at like $400 per coin at 2017 peak.
Nah, I don't think Litecoin's dead. It's still got a solid user base and faster transactions than Bitcoin. Sure, the 2017 dump was rough, but it's been hanging in there as a reliable altcoin for payments and stuff
Good luck with your spectulation. I wish you the best.

Interesting!
Is there a DEX based on Radix?
Yeah, there’s Ociswap, a DEX built on the Radix network. It’s designed for easy token swaps with solid liquidity and a user-friendly setup. Check it out if you’re curious about trading on Radix
Oh, great!
I understand it's not integrated into the THORChain ecosystem, right?
Not at the moment, as far as I know. Ociswap operates on Radix, but there’s no direct integration with THORChain’s ecosystem yet. Might be something to watch for in the future though

Froom 40 Days countdown to $USDC earning on $LEO staking, I promised my friends and followers on X that I will be sharing 40 reasons they should get involved.
But I think I need inputs here. What will I be saying for these 40 days?
I'd suggest you listen to the latest recorded INLEO AMA's, and read the threads that Khal has been publishing for the last month: there, you'll find at least 40 mechanisms or reasons that are poised to turn into successes the LEO Tokenomics 2.0 & the LSTR Tokenomics 😀.
What a day! Today, 5 Aug, 2025 is a day I will long remember as the day LEO began it's climb into relevance, and ultimately, to a dominant place in the cryptosphere. Belief is a powerful thing and after 6+ years being a part of this community, I've never believed more strongly in the future Khal & Co are building. This thing is going to fucking Work!!!

Random stupid Jongo thoughts...
Is there any way to tie the stakes together on Arb and H-E
I hate the thought of staking on one or the other to lose the benefits from either stake. And seeing that it's all one token, just wrapped versions?
Our stake on H-E for example, doesnt do anything anymore because inflation is gone? Does that make sense, or am I missing something huge?
Thanks for taking my call...
#feedback
The LP on HE still gets the curation rewards from posting, threading, and voting. That is what the SIRP is paying out. It buys LEO each day and pays the curation rewards. At least that's how I understand it. The sLEO will get a USDC yield from staking it on Arbitrum. Two different things. With sLEO, you can make a yield in a stablecoin and do whatever you want with it. For example, buy more LEO and compound. On HE, you get paid in liquid LEO from the SIRP for your curation. You have to decide which is more important to you. I will probably split mine at some point, but for now, I'm just going to keep it here and earn more LEO.
Right but the stake you have on H-E doesnt 'do' anything per se. They take snap shots of what you have, to determine what you are getting from the SIRP.
The stake on H-E has no inflation, so it's just a dynamic number that can change on a bunch of factors, not related to how much stake you have?
Not true. I'm not sure how they calculate it, but if you don't do any curating or posting, you don't get anything from the SIRP.
Khal also said on the AMA today that you will be able to delegate your LP to...I think he said LSTR.voter...and earn a daily return from that. Then you don't have to curate to get Leo from the SIRP. You get it from the LSTR.voter curation. Which they plan to do a lot of since it will be buying LEO and staking it with the HBD earned, and of course the LEO they get from the SIRP. The HP that is earned will be left as HP and then delegated to...I think he said Leo.voter...and will earn the 16% (or whatever it is). Hard to keep all these names and numbers straight. lol
Yes
The SIRP pays for author/curation the same way it did in LEO 1.0
The only change is where those funds come from. Before, they came from inflation to the rewards pool and then you got paid for author/curation
Now, LEO is bought and deposited to @leo.tokens. Then you earn from that account from the same author/curation setup
Do nothing and earn nothing. There aren’t any snapshots on HE and I’m not sure what tying together stakes across chains would do/mean
The new frontier game mode in SP has me really entertained.
It's challenging, and I think the rewards are very good depending on your league rank.

@uyobong Go back and listen to the AMA and start listing, one by one, all the ways LEO and LSTR are going to be drawing revenue into the tokens. The first 5-7 are easy. After that, you can start listing all the AI stuff that will be capturing value behind the scenes. According to Khal, that list will eventually be hundreds, if not thousands strong over the coming months. LEO is going to be a black hole, soaking up revenue and locking up tokens, compounding what it has and what it continues to earn along the way. All with a deflationary token. The greatest thing is that even if we don't buy, the Protocol will, because it HAS to. It will just keep generating revenue, hour after hour and day after day, and it will buy LEO off the market, lock it up, and then generate more earnings the next day. Genius.
Thank you.
Following up on that
Were you answering any of my questions specifically?
Which?
You said you had to give 40 reasons in 40 days. I would start with the fact that LEO is now deflationary. No new tokens will ever be minted. It's now capped at 30M. And it will burn the tokens paid in fees every time someone bridges LEO from one chain to another. bLEO>pLEO>wLEO>sLEO>heLEO. Any moving from one chain to another generates a small fee and LEO burns those tokens. Thus, the 30M tokens becomes less. Right now I think @3000 tokens have been burned, so it's not a big number, but the key is its going down, not up.
Next I would start listing all the mechanisms that will automatically buy LEO off the market every single day. The SIRP, LSTR, the pools, the AI bots, eventually ad revenue (probably?), and there are more I can't think of right now. Listen to the AMA and make a list. That should give you at least a couple weeks worth of "one a day" reasons.
I am happy you mentioned wLEO 😉
LSTR:LEO is live on Hive-Engine with LSTR trading at $1.55. The value of LSTR's holdings is ~$171,000 now which means that each 1 share of LSTR is backed by $1.71
LSTR is trading at a discount of $0.16 per share or 9.35%
Over long periods of time, the value of LSTR will trend at a slight premium. In the short-term, volatility is to be expected. Buying when LSTR is at a discount and selling when it is at a premium is called Volatility Harvesting and may be something we can design into the LSTR fund itself.
I'm exploring some ideas with their team about how to execute a market maker like this which would harvest volatility and invest it back into more LEO (this is what MSTR does to drive 99.99% of their revenues from BTC holdings - aka what they call "yield")
The future for LSTR is incredibly bright 🦁
LSTR initial sale buyers are up 69% on their investment in LSTR
Yet, the current price of LSTR is 9.35% below the fair value of LSTR's LEO holdings
Wild times ahead friends. This is just the beginning of LeoStrategy aka the financial layer 2 of LEO
But how will the pool fetch the latest value of LSTR based on LEO holdings?
The open market
$LSTR continues to outperform other assets on Hive-engine.
Looking forward to a $1.69 price in the next round means it's still safe to buy as the LSTR:LEO pool will eat up the present sell wall.
#leostrategy
LSTR outperform other assets on Hive-engine and it's quite expected.
More to come.
Annual population increase:
🇬🇧 UK: +413,140
(Source: Worldometers)
Thanks, ultimatestats!
During which year was that increased registered?
I'd think it's not 2024 - 2025, as for those last 12 months the death rate has been higher than the birth rate in neighboring France (where the percentage of injected people was quite similar to the UK's, as far as I know).
That increase is for 2023, based on Worldometers data. I’m not sure about the exact birth vs death rates in the UK or France for 2024-25, but migration seems to be a big factor lately
That's cheaper than the $1.69 earlier reported.

Learning never stops in this space.
I just learned about Volatility Harvesting.
Does this apply to every pool?
Khal, pairing LSTR against LEO (a volatile asset) means the worth of LSTR will also be fluctuating?
need more clarification.

As $LEO is getting expensive, I am receiving fewer $LEO from the delegation to leo.voter.
#leo #price #price #delegation #reward #cent
Yes the reward is decreased
But USD wise, it should be the same.
Hmm. But am thinking about the quantity of $LEO.
yeah it has to decrease for sure. It hurts but it's fine :) good for Leo overall.
The best thing about crypto, and LEO especially, is that I can go to bed and wake up tomorrow to a higher price. Making money while I sleep. Isn't that the dream? 🙂
GM Friends! Have a great Wednesday! It half-week and LEO looks like doing accumulation!

Maybe we should tell @leostrategy to pause buying $LEO until we fill our bags.
With about 150,000 $HIVE in the Leostrategy bag, that means about 200k $LEO is in wait to be scooped. That could drive the price to $0.15
God have mercy!

Looks like we will both reach that goal.

Working on a design that will likely be launched through LeoStrategy and allow for collateralized lending on your LEO
This would be another revenue-generating product for LeoStrategy. 100% of the revenue would buy more LEO and perma stake it in the fund. This revenue supports the price of LEO over long timeframes and also bolsters LSTR’s balance sheet
https://inleo.io/threads/view/dagger212/re-leothreads-2szk2avpm
This is incredible.
I hope you also make the repayment modules flexible and creative such as paying back in bits through % beneficiary to Leostrategy (just thinking)
I hope it won't end up as ThorFi on Thorchain. So measure twice, cut once, please. 🤞
This machine in Metro Le Point is like a small restaurant selling...
The Across USDT liquidity pool is now enabling transfers to the BNBCHAIN. There's an opportunity to stake USDT at approximately 10% annual percentage yield, with an added benefit for long-term staking.

LSTR initial sale buyers are up 40%+ in just 12 hours since the initial sale closed
Yet, LSTR is still trading at a discount
The economic engine is just starting to whirr. The first major source of revenue will go live this week for LSTR and will be the kickstart of utility for LSTR token holders + value accretion to the LSTR shares based on the "LPS" metric
LPS = Leo Per Share. LSTR's mandate is simply to increase the amount of LEO Per Share of outstanding LSTR that exists. Right now, it's about 15 LEO Per Share ($1.725 per share).
This means LSTR should be trading at $1.725 if it was valued simply based on the funds backing the LSTR token. Buying it at a discount will work well in long timeframes
It's always a good day when LEO and LSTR are leaders in volume, price and real Market Cap 🦁
It is natural and I think it will be hard for any other tokens to replace the $LEO and $LSTR in terms of volume.
Now that you work for me Khal. I suggest you get some sleep. I need you fresh to deal with things over at the office while I sit and judge you.

If you’re premium, try to make a blog post every week (minimum) or ideally every few days
This helps us curate you more with @leo.voter
We’ve got a new curation strategy that is centered around voting on threads regularly and blogs at least 2-3 times per week
Premium should pay for itself as long as you’re active on both threads and blogs at least a mild amount
Cool! Do we need to showcase the blogs in threads? Or in a leo.curation thread?
Glad to hear @leo.voter is still alive 💪, haven't seen it around for a while. thought it was on summer holiday, or something 😅
This strategy sounds good and more users will be active in threads in my opinion.
this is really Great
Being a premium user is addictive. All the hard work eventually pays off.
Such a great opportunity to grow in these lands.
This is a very good initiative. Even though the perks that come with premium are worth it, the icing is totally welcomed for those that can make long form posts.
Big things on the horizon tomorrow
Can’t wait to unveil it. LeoDex has been building some big updates during all this excitement
Go to the site and see if you can spot some of the changes ;)
Cool!!!!
So another heartbreaking announcement for me :-).

Waiting for the days, when the seller's camp will dry out.
It will eventually.
Agree. We are just flushing out the paper hands and non believers.
I think the rest of 2025 will be super exciting for $LEO
It's getting there.
LSTR have a serious war chest built up to clear the market and the weak hands are fading fast.
Buying opportunity for those who want to get in.
Indeed, that will happen and probably the price will move up more aggressively. Those will be the days...
There's no escape from this. So, yes.
There isn't a millionaire known who holds Palantir stock.

If you look at the duo posts, those are doing well. I know I post very little, but when I do I rarely see a visit from them
Around 2-4 at night our time.
Been receiving votes twice in a row now when posting around that time
!BBH
This is an interesting point, I've noticed the same. I think posts made in the morning (Europe time) might not get the same attention than the ones made in the evening.
From what I can see around 2-4 at night (CET) seems the best. I have made my latest posts around dinner timeand I haven't seen any votes.
Just trying to figure out if the time of day is actually that important or if there is something else I'm missing (except posting more, of course)
!BBH
Yeah, need to try out something different... yes, we can schedule posts but if I'm creating a market update, it's time sensitive and doesn't quite work if published later on...
Just do like all the... agents(? I would say bots) does and post it a year or three after it happened 😆
Good idea! Maybe then I get more votes! 😅
Exactly! Just make sure it's posted around 2-3 am - AND 2-3 years late 😂
I've now had leo.voter visiting two days in a row by scheduling posting at night.
New strategy unlocked 😆
!BBH
Nice! Had a visit as well overnight. Do you have a specific time set?
I had two different times (about an hour apart), to see the difference. I think it's best from 2 and onwards, maybe up to 6 in the morning, but I don't know.
If you want to take advantage of it and still do the analysis, maybe you should do an analysis of how the market moved and what it could mean for the next day 💪🏼
That's a good idea, cheers! Can also do more HTF analysis so it won't be so time sensitive
Yes if you post late night american hours you may notice some votes, if you check morning to mid day of american hours you'd find those curators barely give vote or none at all. Curators seems to ignore a lot of posts posted american morning to mid day hours.
I could imagine you have some data and/or stats about this 🤪
!BBH
Yes lol.
Nice! Could you share that in more details? 😎
!BBH
the time you post has always been a factor since the beginning of Hive (then Steem). certain time zones have more users
Should that matter with the leo.voter account?
I mean, it's voting on content from premium members. I wouldn't be surprised if time of day has something to say in this matter though, despite being a premium-only service
hmm, not sure about that. i was just thinking about regular users
Understandable, and it has a lot to say in that regard, and maybe even with the leo.voter too 🤷🏻♂️
!BBH
yes it is! just think about timezones … the US for example enters the Feierabend zone when we‘re already sleeping …
But why would it matter when it's basically a paid service? 🤔
it‘s not a bot afaik so they need to sleep too …
I would imagine there are more than 1 person curating for the account.
But I see what you mean.
It's just strange IMO
and i see what you mean … 👊🏽
Imagine the whole of HIVE as a big bowl of soup and your post is just a little piece of sliced vegetable you throw in there … for a day it‘ll swim around on top and then it gets soaked and sinks down the pott pretty fast …
What a great comparison - except the vegetable part.
I would like to write articles that is like the meat.
Juicy, flavour-rich meat.
Buuuut, I'm not that good of a writer 🤣
change the recipe to your liking …
From my experience, timing plays a major factor in getting voted by love.voter, and I also believe they have a special way of picking accounts to be upvovoted weekly, and consistency too can be a factor.
I should be trying to do articles more often. But I have no clue what to write about 😬
!BBH
You just made a thread about testing something with inleo notification, the experience and the thing you are testing worth writing about.
How is a failed attempt worth writing about?
I liie the way of thinking, but I'm curious as to how you come to that conclusion 😃
!BBH
You are trying out an experiment which is yet to have a conclusion, so it's worth writing about.
I had made a post of this years ago. I pulled from data to see if this is actually true (When are people posting vs when are people voting) and yes there were couple of hours which I don't remember now where the voting activity was high.
Providing liquidity to the LSTR/LEO pool.
That's good, but one question is, why are you doing that? What's the benefit? It's a very common question, and so I asked it on behalf of others.
We earn from fees. The thing is, if you believe both LEO and LSTR will go up in the future, go hand in hand, there won't be significant impermanent loss.
The APR is low, but if you say in addition we get commission from fees, well I am beginning some amount in Pool LSTR/LEO.
The APR is indeed low, but it might increase in the future if we get more volume
It's a good. way to monitor it 👍

$LEO is poised to surpass $HIVE in price, as it does not directly react to $BITCOIN's price fluctuations or sudden drops. Has anyone else noticed this trend?
i've also noticed it going up lately, which is wonderful. at this pace the price will pass Hive relatively shortly. the market cap is another story though
MC ? Well, you are right. But everything is effort; effort will determine the results. It's all in time.
When a respected individual expresses an opinion that you disagree with and you can effectively and effortlessly deconstruct their argument in a logical and convincing way, it's a stark reminder that everyone, including them, can have blind spots.
Well said. The only thing I would change is "can". I haven't met anyone without blind spots.
Do you still maintain your respect to that individual after all?
Yeah, I usually do. Respect isn't just about agreeing on everything—it's more about their overall character and past contributions. Blind spots don't erase that
You're spot-on. Respecting someone doesn't mean endorsing every word they say it's about valuing their character and track record. Blind spots are just human, not a dealbreaker for respect.
Beem honest wasnt so bad, yeah there were things that were inconclusive or lack context and happen just because but its a silly movie with some action into it, almost a "teen ager" movie just to be amaze or scared by the Dinosaurs, not an action movie to be taken serious, good one time watch, I gave it a 7/10

In a profound reflection on communication and consciousness, the speaker begins with a simple yet insightful analogy: if you talk all the time, you'll never hear what anybody else has to say. This highlights a fundamental truth about human interaction—the importance of listening. When we're constantly engaged in our own words, whether spoken aloud or internally, we drown out the voices and perspectives of others.
Part 2/8:
This phenomenon extends inwardly as well, in the form of self-talk or subvocal conversation. Our minds are often filled with a continuous barrage of symbols, images, and words that chatter endlessly inside our skulls. While this internal dialogue might seem natural, it's a trap that can lead to a kind of mental stagnation. When the mind is preoccupied with its own incessant chatter, it leaves no room to contemplate or truly perceive the world around us.
The Limitations of Constant Thinking
Part 3/8:
The speaker emphasizes that if you do that all the time, you'll find that you have nothing to think about except thinking itself. This recursive cycle can create a mental dead end, where the richness of experience is lost in the web of thoughts. To truly understand life, one must sometimes cease the mental activity that clouds perception.
Just like in conversation, where sometimes silence is necessary to truly listen, in thinking, silence is essential to observe and comprehend reality. When we stop our internal chatter, we're able to connect directly with what Kjipsky (a possibly fictional or symbolic figure) refers to as the unspeakable world—a realm beyond words, descriptions, and classifications.
The Experience of the Unspeakable World
Part 4/8:
This unspeakable world is all around us — in the simplest sights, sounds, and smells. It’s the texture of shadows cast on the floor or the subtle nuances of a fragrance. These sensory experiences are often overlooked because we instinctively name and label them: that's a shadow, that's red, that's a person's foot.
However, when we stop naming things, when we detach from our habitual labels and concepts, we begin to see them anew. Without predefined notions, the world reveals itself in its pure form. The act of naming is a way of distorting perception; by constantly categorizing, we limit our understanding of reality.
The Fallacy of Fixed Perceptions
Part 5/8:
The speaker illustrates this with a vivid example: when a person claims to see a leaf, our minds automatically conjure an image—a leaf-shaped form outlined in black and filled with a uniform green. But no leaf is truly like that. Leaves are infinitely varied in color, shape, and texture. This highlights how our perceptions are constrained by mental shortcuts and limited sensory frameworks.
He further quotes Izka, who said, "The five colors make a man blind. The five tones make a man deaf." This poetic observation warns of the dangers of reducing the world—and our perception of it—to just a handful of sensory categories. Limiting ourselves to five fixed colors or tones causes blindness and deafness to the infinite diversity that actually exists.
The Necessity of Stopping and Seeing
Part 6/8:
To genuinely hear and see, we must stop fixing our perceptions into narrow concepts. Only through the act of ceasing the mental habit of defining and labeling can one begin to truly hear sounds and see colors in their full depth and richness. This process of letting go reveals an expansive, vibrant universe that normally remains hidden behind our conceptual filters.
The Balance of Order and Liberation
The speaker clarifies that he's not advocating for chaos or a dismissive attitude towards everyday life. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of a basic framework of order and discipline—a structure essential for true liberation. Without some degree of discipline, the force of liberation can become overwhelming, capable of tearing apart the existing world and causing chaos.
Part 7/8:
He warns that the force of liberation is strong—so strong that it can “blow the world to pieces.” For this reason, a certain disciplined approach is necessary to harness the profound potential of awareness and understanding without destroying what exists. Balance, order, and discipline provide the needed wires to contain and channel this power effectively.
Conclusion: The Path to True Perception
This contemplation ultimately points to a fundamental spiritual insight: true perception arises not from endless thinking or labeling, but from quietness, discipline, and openness. By listening more and internally talking less, by stopping the mental fixation on labels, we can access a deeper, more authentic experience of life.
Part 8/8:
In the end, it’s about stepping beyond the surface of daily appearances and perceiving the world in its infinite variety and beauty—a world that is only truly visible when we pause our mental chatter and open ourselves to the unspeakable.
Dont wanna say to much, but @askrafiki just responded to a question I ask a long time ago. Lets hope he is back online 🤩👊
how to do it?
I am waiting for it. At least I can talk and ask question whenever I want.
Cool, I've kinda missed Rafiki! 😀
Me to, and if you listen to yesterdays ama he will be powered up big time now. Will basically know all there is to know about leo
Yeah, was listening, that's a big upgrade! Something I've been waiting for. Hope it would be able to pull all LEO, LSTR tokenomics, even charts in the future! That would be great 👍
What minor spending habit did you eliminate that unexpectedly freed up the most funds for investments?
breaking up with Hive? Soon…
Who is breaking up with Hive?
I'm still stacking HIVE in addition to LEO and LSTR. I believe HIVE could still go higher (if crypto market pumps), gonna unstake some when price is higher and move to HBD.
sounds cryptic.
I can't break up with Hive. It's tied into everything that i enjoy online.
The base layer is just as important as the apps that run on it.
What are you talking about man?
I saw what you did there, all the same, you can always rebuild again.

Good morning! 🌞
How would you rate your onchain security?
Is it high or low? Be honest! 🤣
Below average…enough to not be low-hanging fruit but nowhere near where it should be
I'm kinda nonchalant cos my bags are very light.
The timing of posts is an interesting factor, something I've been thinking about for some time.
Another thing, I wonder if LEO, LeoDEX, LSTR, and other Inleo-related content are favoured versus other stuff?
https://inleo.io/threads/view/caspermoeller89/re-leothreads-2oqzztvne
I thought that was the case, but from my short investigation this morning (while I was still in bed, before coffee) it didn't matter if it was related to that, as long as it is posted from the InLeo platform.
Doesn't look like the community matters either.
!BBH
Very interesting, I guess it's the timing then. Or maybe just randomness 😅
Or... they just dislike me 🤣
I think they just hate danish people, or was that Trump? 😂

Timing decides a lot about to be seen or not to be seen. For us in Europe it doesn‘t work posting at daytime at all unless you have a certain audience for certain things. That‘s why i was nagging the inleo team to get that frogging scheduling done back in the days 💪🏽🦁👍🏽
Just keep sending that feedback to khaleelkazi 🦁
I haven‘t posted in a while, is the scheduling broken again? 👀
Ah then its probably not broken! Thought you had tried and it failed 😅
no, i wrong that wrote … edited now … was talking about the beginnings … ya know, gramps telling about the war and stuff 😉
btw. chatting with “you“, this leostrategy account, is a bit weird, because there‘s still that voice in the back of my head asking: who tf is writing this right now? One person, different people? 🤔
Right now its @anderssinho handling the account. But can be other board memebers using it to post as well 🦁
ah yes, right, heard your name connected to this on the ama
Ok, so scheduling doesn't work on Inleo editor?
no, i was talkin‘bout earlier when it didn‘t, should be working fine now …
I tested scheduling posts and it’s working fine.
Even got upvoted by the leo.voter 😄
Very cool! Gonna tested today 👍
same with threads, start threading at 6pm in Europe earliest and you‘ll see the difference … 6pm here is middle of the day in the US for example …
Yeah, noticed that as well.
We try to curate on any give time, but we are also limited to when we can be online. Unfortunately this isn't my fulltime gig 🦁
I can totally understand that, people have things to do. 🙂 Besides, I was referring to leo.voter more or less
Yes understood that the discussion was mainly aimed at leo.voter. But I also agree that there is very little activity here European time. Hope we can improve that
You could widen your team. We have plenty of Lions around the world curation could be fone around the clock ;)
I think the board wouldn't mind more people but no one has volounteered so far 🦁
probably easier if you post it as a paid job since you are a company it should be ok to have expenditures like that. Offering a few LEO as payment might just do the trick for many.
Maybe will come, right now we are fully focused on our vision, grow the LEO per share number 🦁
why don't you put some curators from all of the world?
LEO, leodex or LSTR related posts are not favored, the only thing I see that could make a difference is the quality of the Inleo related post and the subject of the post.
After a good coffee to wake up, a smile to conquer the day!

I enjoyed seeing a wrestling match while growing up because I thought the fights were real, but as grew up into adult and learned that most of the fights were scripted, I lost interest in it. I don't even allow my kids to see a wrestling match on TV, because children love mimicking what they saw on TV.

Part 1/12:
A Centennial Reflection: The Evolving Turmoil of 1916 and Its Lasting Impact
Introduction
A hundred years ago this week, Ireland was engulfed in the Easter Rising—a pivotal event that reshaped Irish history and echoed through the decades. But as much as the uprising marked a major turning point, it was not the only significant development unfolding at that time. This week’s episode dives deeply into two intently linked yet contrasting stories from April 1916: the Irish rebellion's aftermath and the broader geopolitical maneuvers that would redefine the Middle East in the post-World War I era.
The Irish Easter Rising: A Fight for Independence
Part 2/12:
Although not the focus of this particular discussion, the Easter Rising was an essential catalyst for Irish independence. It symbolized a collective effort to challenge centuries of British rule, igniting nationalist fervor that would persist for generations. The rebellion, which began on April 24, 1916, involved armed volunteers seizing key locations in Dublin and declaring an Irish Republic, signaling a shift toward political activism and militant resistance.
A special feature dedicated to this event emphasizes its long-term implications, underscoring how this insurrection sowed seeds for future political upheavals—culminating in the eventual independence of Ireland and contributing to the wave of nationalist movements across Europe and beyond.
Part 3/12:
Geopolitical Reconfigurations: The Sykes-Picot Agreement
While Ireland's uprising was unfolding, within the vast Ottoman territories, other significant events shaped the world's future. On April 26, 1916, the secret Sykes-Picot Agreement was signed between Britain and France, a clandestine pact that would carve up the Ottoman Empire's remains after the war.
Details of the Agreement
This agreement divided the Middle Eastern Ottoman lands into zones of influence:
France would control Beirut and parts of Syria, including Damascus, establishing a foundation for a future French protectorate.
Britain would oversee Palestine, Acre, and the southern parts of Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq), aiming to secure access points to the oil-rich Gulf.
Part 4/12:
The map divided along straight lines, ignoring the complex ethnic, tribal, and religious realities on the ground. This arbitrary partition would sow decades of tension, conflict, and instability—effects still felt today.
Impact and Aftermath
The Sykes-Picot Agreement, formally approved by Russia in early 1916, was a betrayal of earlier promises made to Arab leaders by the British, notably in the McMahon-Hussein Correspondence. These conflicting commitments laid the groundwork for enduring regional disputes and fueled resentment towards Western powers among Arab populations.
Part 5/12:
Centuries later, groups like ISIS would invoke opposition to the Sykes-Picot boundaries as justification for their insurgency, illustrating how these freshly drawn borders continue to shape conflicts across the Middle East.
The Endgame in the Mediterranean and Asia Minor
Meanwhile, naval conflicts and military movements underscored the ongoing struggle for control in the region. The German Kriegsmarine, seeking parity with the Royal Navy, initiated a surprise attack near Lowestoft and Yarmouth on April 25, 1916. The engagement involved dirigibles, submarines, and battlecruisers, with aircraft and watercraft engaging in multi-layered combat.
Part 6/12:
This sortie was a tactical move to challenge British naval supremacy, reminiscent of the ongoing naval tension that characterized much of World War I.
Simultaneously, the German naval commander Reinhard Scheer was eager to provoke a decisive engagement, and his forces responded actively, demonstrating the German fleet’s willingness to fight. The attack, although limited in scope, symbolized the intense undercurrents of competition in the North Sea and the Atlantic.
The Battle of Kut and the Middle Eastern Theatre
Far from the naval skirmishes, the Mesopotamian front was descending into a desperate stalemate. The British siege of Kut, now under fierce assault from Ottoman forces, epitomized the strategic crossroads of the war in the Middle East.
Part 7/12:
Without ample supplies—especially water—the beleaguered British and Indian troops at Kut faced imminent surrender. Attempts by Russian forces advancing from Persia aimed to relieve the siege, but they fell short of the besieged garrison, which had exhausted their resources by April.
T.E. Lawrence and other British officers considered strategies to extract their forces from the region, offering valuable gold in exchange for the safe retreat of trapped troops. The brutal terrain, supply shortages, and entrenched Ottoman defenses reflected the expanding scope of the war beyond Europe.
The Warfare in Europe: Trench Warfare and Its Toll
Part 8/12:
Back in Europe, the fighting at Verdun continued unabated. Since February 21, 1916, French and German forces engaged in one of the war's most infamous battles. By April, the relentless artillery bombardments and ground assaults had resulted in enormous casualties on both sides.
On April 28, German artillery targeted the village of Stavarotche and nearby trenches, seeking to reclaim ground lost in previous weeks. High losses and the brutal attrition tactics dominated this sector, with both sides attempting to seize and hold strategic positions amid the mud and devastation.
The battle was emblematic of the war's grinding nature—high casualties for minimal territorial gains—reflecting the tragic futility that characterized the Western Front.
Part 9/12:
The Consequences of Boundaries and Broken Promises
Perhaps the most profound insight from this week’s perspective is the recognition that the arbitrary borders drawn in the Middle East have had centuries-long repercussions. The Sykes-Picot Agreement, designed as a short-term wartime maneuver, effectively disregarded the complex realities of local populations and ethnolinguistic identities.
The aftermath of World War I saw these lines used as the basis for modern nation-states, often without regard for existing tribal, religious, or cultural divisions. The result has been persistent conflict, nationalistic upheavals, and ongoing violence—issues that continue to challenge stability in the region a century later.
Part 10/12:
Moreover, these borders broke long-standing promises of Arab independence post-war, fostering resentment that in recent decades has fueled insurgencies and terror groups, including ISIS, who openly oppose the post-Ottoman division.
Conclusion: War's Enduring Shadows
In sum, 1916 was a moment of intense upheaval—on the battlefield, at the negotiating table, and across a region on the brink of transformation. The Irish uprising symbolized a push for independence, while the secret negotiations and military confrontations in the Middle East laid the groundwork for decades of conflict rooted in colonial legacies.
Part 11/12:
The war's various theaters—European trenches, Middle Eastern campaigns, and naval skirmishes—demonstrated the brutal complexity and far-reaching consequences of a conflict that transcended mere battlefield victories. The borders drawn in these years continue to influence geopolitics, conflicts, and identities to this day.
The lesson remains clear: the scars of war and the boundaries carved out in its aftermath can have lasting, often tragic, consequences that shape generations. As the host reminds us, war is hell—and its impact extends far beyond the battlefield, etched into the very fabric of nations and peoples.
A Final Reflection
Part 12/12:
While the Irish Easter Rising was a defining moment for Irish nationalism, the unseen geopolitical shifts in the Middle East underscore how interconnected and far-reaching the conflicts of a century ago still resonate. These events serve as vital reflections on the costs of war, broken promises, and the enduring struggle for self-determination and peace in a tumultuous world.

The Legend of T.E. Lawrence: From Myth to History
Introduction
Few figures from World War I evoke as much fascination and mystique as T.E. Lawrence, famously known as Lawrence of Arabia. His daring exploits, romantic image, and complex legacy continue to captivate historians, filmmakers, and adventurers alike. In this comprehensive exploration, we delve into the life, military campaigns, and myth-making surrounding one of the most enigmatic personalities of the early 20th century.
Early Life and Education
Part 2/12:
Thomas Edward Lawrence was born on August 16, 1888, in Tremadoc, Wales. From a young age, he displayed a profound interest in medieval history and military fortifications. His passion for strategy led him to specialize in military history and tactics during his studies. In 1908, Lawrence joined the Oxford University Officer Training Corps, a program designed to give students practical military training since Britain did not practice conscription at the time.
Military Service and Early Assignments
Part 3/12:
In 1909, Lawrence was recommended for work in Palestine, sending him to the Ottoman Empire. However, with the advent of World War I in 1914, Britain and the Ottoman Empire found themselves on opposing sides. Consequently, Lawrence was stationed in Cairo, promoted to the rank of captain. His initial work involved inspecting Egyptian sites, monitoring maps, overseeing printing and telecommunications, and cracking codes—tasks that suited his keen intellect and organizational skills.
The Middle East and Arab Rebellion
Part 4/12:
During the war, Britain aimed to protect strategic assets like the Suez Canal and suppress Ottoman forces. The Gallipoli campaign, the Tigris expedition, and the siege of Kut underscored the intensity of the conflict in the Middle East. Amidst this chaos, British officials negotiated with Sherif Hussein of Mecca, promising support for Arab independence in exchange for rebellion against the Ottomans.
While the British were hesitant to commit fully to Arab independence—preferring to retain influence in the region—secret agreements like the Sykes-Picot Agreement envisioned dividing the Ottoman lands among European powers after the war. Nonetheless, the Arab revolt gained momentum, and Lawrence was appointed to oversee and manage its military efforts.
Lawrence’s Campaigns and Insights
Part 5/12:
In June 1916, Lawrence and Ronald Storrs supported Hussein’s son, Faisal, in initiating an Arab uprising against Ottoman rule. Despite initial setbacks—such as the inability to hold key cities and resistance from local populations—Lawrence believed that the Bedouin tribes could be effective against Ottoman infrastructure targets, like railways and bridges. He recognized that Bedouin warriors were brave but not necessarily disciplined for conventional warfare, especially with modern weaponry like aircraft and artillery.
Part 6/12:
Throughout 1916 and 1917, Lawrence and Faisal’s forces engaged in guerrilla tactics, attacking key targets such as the Hejaz Railway, aiming to cripple Ottoman logistical capabilities. However, the revolt faced numerous challenges: lack of widespread popular support, distrust among Arabs, and the complex realities of regional loyalties. Many Arabs remained loyal to their Ottoman rulers or were indifferent, complicating the British effort to create a unified Arab nation.
The Siege of Damascus and Changing Fortunes
Part 7/12:
As the campaign progressed, British military leaders like General Archibald Murray launched offensives around Gaza, which faced heavy setbacks. Yet, with the weakening of Ottoman hold on Palestine and the gradual erosion of their defenses, Arab forces, supported by British weapons and funds, continued their push.
By late 1917, Arab forces had begun to gain ground, gradually bypassing Ottoman strongholds. Despite limited initial support from the local populations—many of whom remained loyal to the Ottoman Empire—Faisal’s army, aided by Lawrence’s strategic guidance, managed to seize key cities such as Wagh and eventually Damascus in October 1918, marking the culmination of the Arab revolt.
The Myth and Literature of Lawrence
Part 8/12:
In 1922, Lawrence published Seven Pillars of Wisdom, a semi-autobiographical account that blends history, adventure, and literary flourish. The book’s reliability as a historical document has been debated; some critics see it as a literary creation, embellishing or romanticizing events to craft a larger-than-life myth. Regardless, it cemented Lawrence’s legendary status and fueled his image as a daring adventurer and strategic genius.
Lawrence’s recounting of his wartime exploits often emphasized his independence and ingenuity, describing himself as a solitary hero battling against impossible odds. His claims of daring espionage, such as disguising himself to infiltrate Ottoman lines and being captured and tortured—stories that blur fact and fiction—contribute to his mystique.
Part 9/12:
Controversies and Historic Actions
One of the most debated episodes in Lawrence’s history is his alleged capture and abuse at Dara. Lawrence claimed he was ambushed, beaten, and mistreated by Ottoman authorities, but some historians question the authenticity of these events. Whether true or exaggerated, such stories added to the dramatic narrative of his wartime heroism.
By mid-1918, the Ottoman Empire was crumbling. British and Arab forces advanced rapidly, leading to the fall of Damascus in October and the end of the Arab revolt. Lawrence’s role was pivotal but often overshadowed by the political aftermath—namely, the Sykes-Picot Agreement and the Treaty of Sèvres, which divided the Middle East into zones of influence controlled by Britain and France, disregarding Arab aspirations.
Part 10/12:
Post-War Life and Legacy
After the war, Lawrence returned to Britain, troubled by the post-war realities. His memoir, Seven Pillars of Wisdom, captured his complex perspective on the conflict, but it did little to emotionally settle him. He remained a controversial figure—celebrated as a hero, yet criticized for his role in Western imperialism and the betrayal of Arab hopes.
Tragically, Lawrence died at the age of 46 in 1935, following a motorcycle accident. His death marked the end of a remarkable life that had become enshrined in popular culture as a symbol of daring, romance, and the blurred line between myth and history.
Modern Reflections: Hero or Con Artist?
Part 11/12:
Today, the figure of Lawrence remains enigmatic. Was he a heroic liberator, a clever manipulator, or an actor playing a role in a larger geopolitical game? Films, books, and debates continue to explore his true character.
An intriguing anecdote from 1991 underscores the enduring fascination with Lawrence’s legend. During a vintage car auction, a Rolls-Royce once owned by Faisal I was sold. The car bore the Scottish Clan Mackay crest, which was surprisingly just a motif that Faisal liked rather than a symbol of actual Scottish heritage. This story hints at how Lawrence’s legend—like the car’s crest—might sometimes be more about storytelling and perception than fact.
Conclusion
Part 12/12:
T.E. Lawrence’s life encapsulates the complexities of heroism, myth-making, and imperial power. His exploits in the Arab world elevated him to legendary status, but beneath the myth lies a nuanced man navigating a turbulent geopolitical landscape. Whether viewed as a hero, a manipulator, or a symbol of a bygone era, Lawrence’s story continues to resonate, reminding us of the powerful interplay between history and storytelling, reality and legend. His enduring legacy underscores the timeless human fascination with adventure, identity, and the costs of empire.

Grok imagine is truly revolutionary. Eager to see how it evolves!
$LEO Price has been steady since over 24 hours, I guess people don't have much to dump or sell anymore.
The real pump will start when @leostrategy will push the pool. That way arbitrage bots will clear the markets for us and help build support
but timing is everything, might be smart to wait until some more unstaking has happened so we don’t have to pay a premium on dumpers. Give it a month :)
I see no Leo in the pool.
I see, it's still heavy. Was actually thinking about the order book.
yeah, clearing the orderbook is easy - but that is just a spike that will be arbitraged back down instantly (1. sell of the market vs the pump 2. buy in the pool 3. sell in the market ... repeat until pool price equals marketprice) we have whole army of farming bots doing this...
So the only efficient way to sustainable increase the pool will come from gradually clearing the pool (no big batches at once due to slipperage).
You are so right about this. We should not rush it just people want "fast gains".
We need to be smart with the war chest we build 🦁
