The conversation surrounding negative probability is enlightening: it appears nonsensical, yet 1) it's utilized for calibration and 2) there are over 50 studies on this topic.
There was a time when mentioning negative probabilities received criticism, dismissed as merely a mathematical oddity. Now, they're being used in probability Fourier distributions within QFT, with growing acceptance that treating these negative frequencies as "physically real" could be necessary. It echoes the past resistance to accepting "irrational" numbers.
Many successful men are inspired by a muscular guy and research his diet and workout habits. On the other hand, many successful women see a stunning woman and feel competitive or envious.
Heads up: This might be controversial. Generally, even accomplished women are more likely to feel intense jealousy if a woman like @sydney_sweeney enters a room rather than a woman with higher status or achievements. Our emotional systems are shaped by biology, influencing our competitive instincts. Back in 2005, research with a former doctoral student was conducted on what sparks envy differently for each sex. The findings were clear and hopefully will be published someday. Sweeney is often disliked because she poses a significant challenge to other women.

Wear well-maintained shoes, honor your parents, cherish your partner, and nurture a compassionate heart. Embrace these habits, and within a month, life can transform significantly.
In today's era, where technology has become so advanced, we have achieved so much. Many new features have emerged, and earlier, newspapers were the only source from which we used to know all the news and what was happening in the world. We used to know all that, so today there is a lot of replacement for all this.
Today's youth find reading newspapers very boring because there is no newspaper to read all the time, so they mostly read something else or watch videos on YouTube, which have more content. They watch podcasts. Watch live updates. They do not follow detailed news and ignore reading the newspaper.
The more experience gained in investing, the clearer it becomes that focusing on specific investments can be very effective. However, it's equally evident that using a diversified index fund as the core of a portfolio is also beneficial.
The Future of the BRICS and the Shifting Global Financial Order
The Dream of a Post-Dollar World
A year ago, the BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—appeared poised to challenge the US dollar's supremacy and fundamentally reshape the global economic landscape. These countries expanded from five to ten members, welcoming nations like the UAE, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Iran, signaling a move towards a multipolar financial system. Promises were made: new payment systems, local currency trade, and a collective economic muscle capable of intimidating Washington. The overarching narrative was one of independence from dollar dominance, with ambitions to end the dollar's role as the global reserve currency.
However, the geopolitical landscape shifted dramatically with Donald Trump’s return to power. Almost overnight, the fervor for replacing the dollar faded, replaced by stony silence. Key leaders like Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin retreated from the international stage—Xi skipped the recent BRICS summit entirely, sending a stand-in instead, while Putin remained unseen behind a webcam. The bold plans for a new financial architecture were quietly shelved, and the ambitious initiatives did not materialize.
The latest BRICS summit in Rio marked a stark change. Traditionally, Xi Jinping would have been a prominent presence, but he was absent, and instead, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi took center stage. This shift was emblematic of a deeper issue: the internal divisions and rivalry among members. Japan's CNN report illustrated that India, despite vocal support for a multipolar order, did not aim to challenge the dollar head-on but wanted to safeguard its own economic interests. The summit, dominated by India, reflected a bloc torn between aspirations for a new world order and the realities of economic dependence on the US and Western markets.
The summit’s official agreements—such as climate finance commitments and multilateral guarantees—were notable, but what was conspicuously absent was concrete steps toward establishing an alternative currency or de-dollarization timeline. This lack of decisive action underscores the internal fractures: Iran dissented on some issues, disagreements between India and China persist, and Russia’s dependence on energy exports and sanctions complicate its position. The rivalry between India and China, each vying for leadership in the Global South, further hampers cohesive action. Their ongoing border disputes and strategic competition are stark reminders that unity remains elusive.
Trump’s threats of tariff escalation—warning of 100% import duties on countries exploring alternative currencies—seem to have had a paradoxical effect. Instead of deterring de-dollarization efforts, these threats have accelerated moves away from dollar dependence. Countries like Russia, Iran, China, and now others are actively diversifying their holdings, purchasing gold, and deploying digital currencies. For instance, Russia and Iran are developing their own stablecoins; China’s digital yuan gains acceptance domestically but faces hurdles abroad; Saudi Arabia is increasingly accepting yuan for oil sales.
Despite rhetoric, the US dollar’s global standing shows signs of weakening. Investors and central banks are increasingly reluctant to flock to US Treasuries in times of geopolitical tension. Recent market data reveal that during market stress, US bonds are sold off rather than sought after as safe havens—a dramatic shift from decades of behavior. This signals waning confidence in US fiscal stability and indicates a broader shift towards diversification.
In parallel, the cryptocurrency sector reflects the chaos and potential of a changing order. On one side, countries under sanctions—Russia, Iran, Venezuela—use crypto to bypass restrictions, turning digital assets into alternative financial pathways. On the other hand, the dominance of stablecoins tied to the US dollar persists; over 97% of stablecoins are pegged to USD, reinforcing the dollar’s influence even as countries attempt to reduce their reliance.
Nevertheless, the crypto scene remains fragmented. Russia's mixed stance—sometimes banning, sometimes utilizing Bitcoin—exemplifies the lack of a coordinated strategy. China’s face-off with mining and the push for its digital yuan contrast with the VAE’s ambition to become a crypto hub, illustrating a landscape of improvisation rather than unified action.
Xi Jinping’s absence at the Rio summit symbolizes the fundamental challenge: how can a coherent alternative to the dollar’s hegemony be built when the leading members are internally divided? Trump’s strategy of overbearing pressure—threatening crippling tariffs—is effectively a gamble. By pushing countries to diversify before they are ready, it unintentionally accelerates the de-dollarization trend.
Russia and Iran, for example, are stacking gold in response and conducting oil trades in yuan and rupees—small steps that are hastening the shift away from dollar reliance. These moves are not yet coordinated, but collectively they threaten to fragment the existing monetary system.
The Path Forward: From Fragmentation to Transformation
The overarching narrative is one of gradual change rather than abrupt revolution. Countries like Brazil, despite their leadership rhetoric, remain deeply integrated with Western financial systems. India’s vast IT sector and export dependence on dollar-based markets make outright abandonment of the system unlikely—at least for now. China, holding hundreds of billions in US Treasuries, is cautious about fully decoupling.
What emerges from this chaos is a pattern: peripheral countries seek to reduce reliance on the dollar through local currency trade, gold purchases, and digital assets, but face constraints and dependencies that limit their options. The internal conflicts among BRICS members and their divergent national interests slow down the formation of an effective alternate system.
Historically, no monetary or political empire lasts forever. The British pound, the Spanish Royale, the Dutch Gilda, and the Byzantine Solidus all eventually lost their dominance. The dollar’s 80-year reign as the world’s reserve currency is also finite, especially as US military, political, and economic power faces challenges.
The current moment resembles a transitional phase: confidence in fiat currencies cracks, and countries look toward alternatives like gold and crypto. Although the process is slow and fraught with internal contradictions, evolution is occurring. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies stand to benefit significantly, especially as more nations under sanctions adopt crypto for international trade.
However, the US will not give up its dominant position quietly. History suggests that superpowers fighting to maintain control often react forcefully when threatened. Trump's tariff threats and aggressive diplomacy could backfire, accelerating the fragmentation of the system as countries preemptively diversify their reserves and financial dependencies.
The key takeaway is that while the current effort to build a new financial architecture is fragile and inconsistent, its seeds are being planted. The gradual movement toward de-dollarization, powered by geopolitical tensions, technological innovation, and a desire for monetary sovereignty, signals a fundamental reshaping of the global financial system.
The world is witnessing the slow death of dollar hegemony, a process driven by internal divisions within emerging powers, strategic economic diversification, and technological advancements. The BRICS effort, though faltering at the surface, indicates a broader trend of countries seeking to escape US dominance—quietly, piecemeal, and often in ways that surprise central planners.
While revolution is not yet on the horizon, the ongoing shifts suggest a future where multiple currencies and digital systems coexist, challenging the dollar’s supremacy. As history has shown, empires fade, and new structures emerge—this time, possibly, through the quiet revolution of digital currencies and regional alliances.

The Harsh Reality of World War I in Late 1915: A Year of Tragedy and Turmoil
The year 2015 has seen a global reckoning with the refugee crisis, but few realize that mass displacements and suffering occurred a century earlier amid the chaos of World War I. As historian Indy Neidell narrates in this episode of The Great War, the horrors of early 20th-century conflicts were not isolated incidents but part of a long history of war-induced displacement and devastation.
By late 1915, the battles on the Italian front near Soči had escalated into brutal, prolonged engagements. The Fourth Battle of Soči, which began immediately after the conclusion of the Third, resulted in intense combat lasting nearly seven weeks. The fighting, characterized by heavy artillery, aerial dogfights, and tunnel warfare involving explosives and avalanches, reflected the relentless nature of this conflict. Despite the chaos, official figures suggest that around 80,000 soldiers had been lost on both sides, with 50,000 Italians and 30,000 Austro-Hungarians falling in this series of battles.
Meanwhile, on the Balkan front, Serbia was facing a catastrophic retreat. The combined forces of Austria-Hungary, Germany, and Bulgaria had launched a massive assault on Serbia, forcing the Serbian army and civilian population to retreat into the mountains of Montenegro and Albania. The Serbian army, still numbering approximately 200,000, was in disarray, trying to avoid complete annihilation by wading into rugged, snow-covered terrains where they faced starvation, disease, and constant harassment from advancing enemy troops.
One of the final acts of resistance before Serbia’s strategic withdrawal was the Battle of Kosovo. The Serbian army and civilians fought fiercely on the Kosovo Plain, the symbolic heart of their historic kingdom, but ultimately, the tide was against them. By late November, the German command announced that Serbian operations in the region had ended, signaling the collapse of Serbia's resistance. This marked the end of organized Serbian military efforts in the face of overwhelming enemy numbers.
The retreat was marked by harrowing scenes—a refugee route stretching 150 kilometers, crammed with civilians exhausted and starving. War correspondent William G. Shepherd described the scene vividly, depicting thousands of bodies, starving children, women, and elderly people collapsing along the route. Despite the official reports, the chaos stretched far beyond the battlefield, with civilians suffering from exposure, hunger, and violence inflicted by local bands, especially in Albania, which was engulfed in its own turmoil.
Albania’s complex wartime status added another layer of chaos. Newly formed in 1914 and technically neutral, Albania was torn apart by internal discord and external invasion. The country was a patchwork of overlapping occupations: the southern regions, with their Greek ethnolinguistic populations, experienced Greek influence, while the northern and central parts saw control by local Albanian authorities and foreign armies like the Austrians, Serbs, Italians, and Greeks. Prince William of the Albanian throne fled the country in September 1914 amidst internal rebellions and external pressures.
The country’s political landscape was turbulent, with internal factions and foreign occupations plunging Albania into chaos. Despite efforts by the Allies to secure its neutrality, the country was quickly embroiled in the broader conflict, suffering from invasions, expeditions, and internal power struggles. The war's impact was felt not only militarily but also socially and politically, leading to a breakdown of order and authority.
The Gallipoli campaign, one of the war's most infamous endeavors, was equally brutal. A massive naval and land operation aimed at opening a new front to weaken the Ottoman Empire resulted in heavy casualties and logistical nightmares. A monstrous storm on November 27, 1915, caused the death of over 100 soldiers, with subsequent snowstorms claiming more lives through exposure and freezing temperatures.
The extreme cold affected Allied troops from Australia, India, and other nations, forcing evacuations and exposing the limitations of war efforts in such harsh winter conditions. Soldiers faced not only enemy fire but also the relentless brutality of nature—frozen mud, snow, and wind compounded their suffering. Interestingly, a surprise incident occurred on November 28, when German forces near Pinsk were captured, including two generals—highlighting the ongoing ebb and flow of the conflict.
The Broader Context: Military Movements and Political Declarations
Amid all this chaos, political decisions pivoted the war’s course. On December 1, Italy’s Foreign Minister Sidney Sonnino announced that Italy had formalized alliances with Russia, France, Britain, and Japan, emphasizing that no separate peace would be made with the Central Powers. Italy was consolidating its position after the costly battles on the Italian front and shifting its focus toward a broader coalition.
Meanwhile, the Russian army achieved a surprising victory against the Germans, offering a glimmer of hope amid the widespread destruction. Yet, the realities of war—extreme cold, logistical failures, and constant fighting—continued to ravage armies and civilians alike.
The autumn and winter of 1915 revealed the depths of human suffering caused by the war. Civilians and soldiers endured exposure, starvation, and violence on an unprecedented scale. Entire populations became refugees, fleeing across mountains and borders, often under threat from local militias and hostile factions. Shepherd’s eyewitness account of Albanians fleeing through brutal terrain underscores the scale of displacement: human bodies and animals strewn along the roads, with the despair palpable in every recounting.
The conflict tore nations apart, and the refugee crises of these years serve as a sobering reminder of the enduring toll of war. Both the military and civilian populations faced a future shadowed by loss and uncertainty, their stories woven into the enduring fabric of history.
As Indy Neidell concludes, the First World War’s brutality extended well beyond the battlefield. The year 1915 was characterized not only by relentless combat but also by unparalleled human suffering, dislocation, and tragedy. From the snowy mountains of Serbia and Albania to the treacherous Gallipoli shores and the shifting fronts of Italy, the war’s human cost was immense and ongoing. The stories of resilience, despair, and upheaval echo through history, reminding us of the devastating price paid by countless individuals during this tumultuous period.

The Turbulent Year of 1915: A Comprehensive Overview
The British Indian Army's March and the Fall into Crisis
Throughout 1915, the British Indian Army was making significant strides against the Ottoman Empire, marching upstream along the Tigris River and clinching victory after victory. Their momentum was building, and they advanced steadily toward Baghdad, capturing essential territories and gaining momentum on the Middle Eastern front. However, this advance was short-lived, as the tide of the campaign turned dramatically.
This week marked a significant turning point for the British forces, who found themselves besieged in the city of Kut, suffering from a dire shortage of supplies and with no foreseeable relief in sight. The siege became a symbol of British military miscalculations and the harsh realities of prolonged warfare in unfamiliar terrain.
The Balkan and European Fronts: Battles and Cold Winters
The previous week saw the remnants of the Serbian army and thousands of civilians fleeing from advancing German, Austro-Hungarian, and Bulgarian forces. These refugees were desperate, often succumbing to exposure, starvation, and freezing temperatures as they tried to escape across the Albanian mountains. Many perished in their exodus, highlighting the tragic human cost of the Balkan theater.
Meanwhile, the Italian front quieted down after the Fourth Battle of the Isonzo, with winter bringing an end to most hostilities across European fronts. Although the fighting temporarily subsided, ongoing skirmishes persisted, and the frontlines remained tense and volatile.
Clashes in Flanders and Artois
In the west, the landscape was marked by stalemate rather than dramatic offensives. Since the Battle of Artois and Champagne had concluded in the previous months, no major offensive operations took place during the winter months. Despite some German reinforcements arriving in Flanders and Artois, German forces failed to regain significant territory; in fact, they even retreated in some areas due to flooding from the Yser River, which forced them to abandon front positions on December 7.
Notably, on December 8, six British aircraft targeted German supply depots near the Somme and the Hervilly airfield. Similarly, a British cargo ship ran aground off the Belgian coast, and German seaplanes attempted to sink it but were thwarted by Allied air patrols. The snow-covered Vosges Mountains further limited military activity beyond artillery shelling.
The Changing Tide in the Macedonian and Middle Eastern Campaigns
In Macedonia, intense fighting continued. On December 5, Ottoman forces under General Georgi Todorov launched assaults on British positions with a force of 100,000 troops, aiming to dislodge the Allies from strategic positions along the Vardar River. Under the cover of dense fog on December 6, Bulgarian troops, led by General Stepan Toshev, stealthily advanced and began bombardments, primarily targeting Irish units.
Despite Bulgarian attacks and attempts to outflank the Allies, the French held firm at critical points such as Demir Kapu. The French managed a daring retreat along a precarious single-track railway carved into a mountainside, managing to evacuate their troops and supplies under Bulgarian pressure. By December 10, French forces linked up with British units, establishing a temporary strategic consolidation.
In the Middle Eastern theatre, General Charles Townshend faced a harrowing retreat from Ktesifon along the Tigris River. After nine days of arduous fighting and suffering from severe logistical and sanitary problems, British Indian forces managed a tense withdrawal. The conditions were horrific: sick and injured soldiers suffering from inadequate sanitation and the presence of human waste, described vividly by Major Robert Carter, exemplifying the brutal hardships faced in this campaign.
The fall of Kut loomed large as the British defenders faced continuous assault. Townshend, upon reaching the city on December 3, was told by General John Nixon to rally and prepare for further resistance or surrender. Despite his previous successful siege of Citra, Kut was now under severe threat. Ottoman attacks over the month inflicted heavy casualties, but the defenders managed to hold their ground, thanks in part to supply management and strategic retreats.
At Kut, approximately 14,500 British and Indian soldiers, along with 6,000 Arab civilians, were trapped under siege. Food supplies were calculated to last only about two months, and on December 7, Townshend announced he had enough provisions for 60 days, emphasizing the critical importance of resource management amid the crisis.
In Albania, a significant political development unfolded. Essad Pasha declared his allegiance to the Allies, returning from exile and establishing control over parts of Albania. He welcomed Serbian refugees and expelled occupying Austro-Hungarian and Bulgarian forces, reflecting shifting alliances and the volatility of Balkan politics. This upheaval occurred amid ongoing fighting, with the frontlines elsewhere relatively quiet but still tense.
An important and controversial event of 1915 was the planned evacuation from Gallipoli. On December 7, 1915, Allied leaders finally decided to withdraw from the campaign, recognizing its futility and the high cost in human lives. Officially, the campaign had begun as an ambitious attempt to knock the Ottoman Empire out of the war and open a new front. However, as Peter Hart vividly describes in his book The Great War, Gallipoli was characterized by overconfidence, poor planning, and underestimating the Ottoman defenders.
Hart criticizes the campaign as a reckless gamble driven by misplaced optimism, which resulted in a tragic stalemate and enormous casualties with little strategic gain. The campaign's failure was compounded by logistical issues, underprepared troops, and a lack of understanding of the local conditions. Winston Churchill, who played a pivotal role in the planning, later faced criticism for his involvement in this ill-fated effort.
Conclusion: The Wider War in Context
While the Western Front experienced a lull during the winter months, the broader scope of World War I saw ongoing, intense conflicts across multiple theaters. The Middle East, the Balkans, and the Eastern Front all demonstrated the war's global nature, with shifting alliances and fierce combat.
The week concluded with the realization that some of the most ambitious and costly campaigns—like Gallipoli—had failed, and strategic reevaluations were underway. Meanwhile, the stalemates in Europe persisted, and the siege at Kut signaled the dangers of extended and poorly supported sieges in a rapidly changing war landscape.
This overview reflects the complex, multifaceted nature of 1915 during the Great War, illustrating both tactical battles and strategic miscalculations that shaped the course of history.

The Heroic Leadership of King Albert I of Belgium During World War I
Introduction to a Distinguished Leader
King Albert I of Belgium, born Albert Leopold Charles Marie Minna of Belgium on April 8, 1875, in Brussels Palace, emerged as a symbol of resilience and patriotism during one of the most tumultuous periods in European history. His leadership during World War I earned him widespread admiration, often renowned as "Belgium’s premier soldier."
Initially, Albert was the fifth son of King Leopold II and was considered unlikely to ascend to the throne. However, the deaths of his elder siblings in 1905 elevated him to the position of heir apparent, and he became the crown prince at only 16. Trained at the Royal Military Academy, he quickly demonstrated his dedication, not only serving as a military officer but also engaging in social issues and community visits to understand the plight of ordinary citizens. His compassion extended to establishing orphanages and visiting the Congo, where he advocated for the rights and protection of indigenous peoples.
Albert became king in 1909 after the death of his father, King Leopold II. His reign was characterized by a blend of approachable governance and strong defense policies. Married to Bavarian Princess Elisabeth, Albert was a father of three sons and was widely loved by his people for his approachable, humanitarian style. His efforts to modernize Belgium’s defense included the introduction of widespread conscription in 1903, preparing the nation for impending conflict.
When World War I erupted in 1914, tensions escalated rapidly. Despite Belgium’s neutrality, Germany demanded passage through Belgian territory to swiftly advance into France. King Albert I, committed to defending his nation’s sovereignty, refused this demand outright. This defiance prompted Germany to violate Belgium’s neutrality, an act that transformed a regional conflict into a broader European war.
As military commander-in-chief, Albert faced a unprepared but resilient Belgian army of around 200,000 troops. Their initial resistance was fierce, exceeding German expectations and delaying their push into France. This resistance played a crucial role in giving the Allied forces valuable time to organize their defenses, notably during the Battle of the Marne.
Although much of Belgian territory fell under German occupation, King Albert refused to surrender. His strategic decision to retreat to the Yser River and breach the river defenses became a symbolic standstill, preventing the Germans from advancing towards the ports crucial for the Allied supply lines. This marked the beginning of trench warfare from Belgium's remaining frontlines, with Albert often leading frontline efforts despite the risks.
Throughout the war, Albert stayed at the front lines, even as his government moved to exile in Le Havre. The first winter proved devastating, with shortages of food and supplies, freezing temperatures, and widespread disease claiming many soldiers. Despite these hardships, Belgium's resistance persisted, with new recruits undergoing training in France, and hospitals being established to care for the wounded.
The tide turned in September 1918, when Belgian forces — particularly the Flanders regiment — crossed the Yser River, initiating the liberation of Belgium. These efforts culminated in the cessation of German occupation, coinciding with the armistice signed on November 11, 1918. Throughout this period, King Albert was celebrated as a war hero, his steadfast leadership inspiring his nation and its allies.
However, not all Belgians viewed his leadership favorably; some exiled Belgians considered him a traitor for delaying the nation's entry into direct confrontation with the Germans early in the war. Nonetheless, his commitment to the country's survival and his soldierly conduct solidified his legacy.
Following the war, King Albert attended the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, emphasizing the need to rebuild Belgium and restore stability. His decisions, especially the strategic choice to breach the Yser River, have been subject to historical debate. Critics argue that certain measures, like the destruction of dikes which led to health crises and many casualties, were detrimental, yet these actions also exemplified his determination to safeguard remaining Belgian territory.
Despite promises and agreements, the Germans did not occupy the entire Belgian coast, maintaining a tense and fragile peace. Albert’s commitment to national reconstruction continued until his untimely death in 1934, caused by a mountaineering accident.
King Albert I remains a revered figure in Belgium’s history. His mixture of soldierly bravery, compassionate leadership, and unwavering dedication to his people's sovereignty define his enduring legacy. His leadership during World War I exemplifies the profound impact of determined, principled leadership against overwhelming odds.
King Albert I’s life and wartime role highlight how strong leadership and moral conviction can rally a nation during its darkest hours. His refusal to accept defeat, frontline leadership, and commitment to independence underscore the importance of resilient leadership in times of crisis. For those interested in the detailed stories of Belgium’s resistance and the broader context of World War I, exploring more about the German invasion of Belgium offers invaluable insights into this pivotal historical episode.

UAE GDP in 2008 was about $315 billion. Bitcoin price back then was negligible, basically $0 since it started trading in 2009. So, converting it to BTC isn’t really possible for that year sadly
Fair point, but Bitcoin's earliest price data from 2009 is around $0.00099. Problem is, it wasn't widely traded or stable back then, so calculating $315B UAE GDP into BTC with that price feels speculative at best
Alright, let's do the math. $315 billion divided by $0.00099 comes out to roughly 318 trillion BTC. But honestly, with Bitcoin's price being so unstable back then, this number is more theoretical than practical

Exploring Ethereum's Top Layer 2 Ecosystems and Their Investment Potential
As Ethereum's price surges, market participants are increasingly curious about where the capital will flow next. A significant portion of this investor interest is shifting towards Ethereum's own Layer 2 (L2) ecosystems. Despite some tokens within these ecosystems still trading well below their all-time highs, they present considerable upside potential. This article provides a comprehensive overview of Ethereum’s leading Layer 2 tokens, including how to access these ecosystems, key projects within their networks, and the estimated future value of their native tokens.
What Are Layer 2 Solutions and Why Are They Important?
Ethereum faces some well-known challenges—mainly slow transaction speeds and high fees. To counteract this, developers have built separate blockchains called Layer 2 solutions atop the Ethereum mainnet. These sidechains leverage Ethereum’s security while offering faster and cheaper transactions, addressing the blockchain trilemma of security, decentralization, and scalability.
Layer 2 solutions primarily employ rollup technology, bundling multiple transactions off-chain and submitting a single proof back to Ethereum. This process dramatically increases transaction throughput while reducing costs. The two main types of rollups are:
Optimistic Rollups: Assume transactions are valid unless proven otherwise, with a dispute period for validation.
Zero-Knowledge (ZK) Rollups: Use cryptographic proof systems to verify transaction validity instantly, offering faster settlement and enhanced privacy.
Both types contribute uniquely to Ethereum’s scalability, with ZK rollups generally offering faster transaction times but demanding heavy computational resources.
The Major Ethereum Layer 2 Ecosystems
1. Arbitrum (ARB)
Arbitrum, developed by Offchain Labs, is currently the leading Layer 2 by Total Value Locked (TVL). Launched in September 2021, its native governance token ARB debuted in March 2023. Arbitrum offers an ecosystem for scaling Ethereum smart contracts via various components:
Arbitrum One: The flagship optimistic rollup supporting Ethereum-compatible smart contracts.
Arbitrum Nitro: The tech stack enabling development of Orbit Chains, which are Layer 3 solutions.
Arbitrum Stylus: Enables building EVM-compatible contracts using languages like Rust, C, and C++.
Arbitrum Nova: A faster, cheaper chain optimized for social media and gaming, with some centralization tradeoffs.
The ARB token traded at approximately 80% below its all-time high of ~$240. Given the ecosystem's growth, a conservative estimate suggests ARB could surge roughly 8x–10x, potentially reaching around $8–$10.
Launched by Coinbase in August 2023, Base is an optimistic rollup blockchain that quickly gained popularity due to its efficiency and tight integration with Coinbase’s wallet ecosystem. Unlike other Layer 2s, Base currently does not have its own native token, and Coinbase officials have publicly stated they have no plans to introduce one in the near future.
Base supports thousands of projects, with a user-friendly approach to exploration facilitated via CoinMarketCap's developer tools and ecosystem project lists. Given its growth trajectory, the native token speculation is minimal, but Coinbase’s stock and ecosystem adoption position it as a significant player.
Founded in early 2019 and mainnet launched in December 2021, Optimism aims to unify fragmented Layer 2 chains through its "superchain" protocol. The OP token remains over 85% below its previous high of ~$4.85 but is poised for significant growth. Conservative estimates suggest OP could increase around 10x, possibly reaching $8.50 or higher as adoption continues. Its governance and ecosystem development are closely watched by the community.
4. Uniswap Chain (UNI)
Uniswap, the leading decentralized exchange (DEX), expanded into its own chain, Uniswap Chain, launched in February 2023. This blockchain enhances DeFi capabilities with over 100 projects already integrated. Users can bridge assets through Uniswap’s platform, which supports a vibrant developer ecosystem.
The UNI token has declined from nearly $45 to about 25% of its all-time high, implying a potential 4x to 5x upside based on demand from DeFi users and growth within the Uniswap ecosystem. With Ethereum’s expanding DeFi activity, UNI could easily surpass higher targets, with conservative estimates around $80–$100.
5. zkSync (ZKS)
Unique among the listed solutions, zkSync employs ZK rollups rather than optimistic rollups. Since its inception in 2018 and with its recent version (ZK Sync ERA) launching in March 2023, it has become a dominant player particularly in the real-world asset (RWA) space. Its ZK token is roughly 80% below its all-time high of $32, offering a 5x upside if it reclaims previous levels.
Its concentrated dominance in the RWA niche, with around 18% market share, signals strong growth potential as ZK rollup technology gains wider acceptance for DeFi and tokenized assets.
How to Access and Explore These Ecosystems
Getting involved with these Layer 2 networks involves connecting a compatible wallet (such as MetaMask) and adding the respective networks via tools like Chainlist or directly through web interfaces.
Arbitrum: Use the Arbitrum portal to bridge assets and explore apps sorted by categories like DeFi, gaming, or AI.
Base: Access through Coinbase Wallet, or bridge assets via the Coinbase ecosystem.
Optimism: Use the superchain.eco platform to discover projects within its expanding ecosystem.
Uniswap Chain: Visit the Uniswap app to bridge assets and explore available projects.
zkSync: Use portal.zksync.io for bridging and project exploration.
Future Outlook and Investment Potential
While current token prices are generally significantly below their peaks, the growth prospects of these ecosystems are promising. Ethereum’s Layer 2 solutions are critical in enabling scalable, affordable, and user-friendly DeFi, gaming, and social media applications.
The ARBs, OPs, UNI, and ZKS tokens each have the potential for 5x–10x gains, assuming wider adoption and successful ecosystem expansion. However, investors should conduct thorough research and remember that these estimates are speculative.
Ethereum’s Layer 2 ecosystems are at the forefront of scaling innovation, with multiple solutions vying for dominance. Arbitrum and Optimism currently lead the pack, with robust ecosystems and promising value propositions. Newly emerging chains like Base, Uniswap Chain, and zkSync further diversify the landscape, offering investors numerous avenues for growth.
Stay tuned to ecosystem developments, project launches, and token performance to position yourself for potential upside as Ethereum continues its move upward. Remember, always exercise caution and do your own due diligence in this rapidly evolving space.

tnx, but it mostly just doesn’t makes any sense.
My house is basicly an average house in the Netherlands. Definitly not big, infact small with 2 kids. But moving to 20m2 bigger will get you >800k. So pure madness
So on second thought I may have been shooting for the moon with 10000 LEO as my first goal. I think 1000 is more appropriate, so 637 left to go. I will create a new goal once I hit this one.
Perhaps a great lens into $LEO's future is looking at something like $BNB
BNB has performed incredibly well over the years and steadily grinds up and to the right. The max supply is 200M tokens and Binance has made it their mission to burn the supply down to 100M
The Market Cap is over $110B. The core mechanisms driving it are exchange and other inflows that the BNB Ecosystem of products generates
With $LEO, we're constantly building mechanisms to generate revenue and create inflows to the token. We're also burning the supply through the Bridge Revenue using exogenous capital
With LEO 2.0, the supply is capped at 30M and IMO will continue to dwindle down toward 20M by the year 2030 (rough estimate)
I could agree with you on that, $LEO is on the way to be a better version in all ways. The price is so so so undervalued at this moment and I can already see people wanting to buy more of LEO at tribaldex already.
2/🧵 - There are a lot of emotions that we get to face but one of the silent ones that creeps in is going to be disappointment which is really not easy to be dealing with.
3/🧵 - There needs to be a way that we should be implementing in order to deal with disappointment when we get to experience it for whatever reason as it can surely undermine us quite a bit.

Unfortunately true…in the current market the data is there to support this. Unless ur using real estate specifically for leverage to buy more real estate or save on taxes it’s a lose-lose situation.
The housing market here in Atlanta is horrible. If ur “lucky” enough to qualify to buy a home you’ll end up paying like 20% over because Blackstone and others are driving prices up.
True indeed…the “dream” was always bait.

Keeping the funds of 3 people in a single account is the most troublesome thing, especially when it comes to calculations. My brother and sister both took their withdrawal from my Binance account, and for the last 1 hour I was doing calculations and separating their fund. I told them to create their own account, but they are too lazy to do that and say they need to use it rarely. I don't know when they will overcome their laziness. Creating an account is not so difficult.

Maybe 2 months ago, I could buy 650+$LEO just by using 10 $HBD, and now I need to pay 43 $HBD if I want to buy the same amount of $LEO. It's really driving me crazy. Just imagine where the LEO will reach in the upcoming months. Do you want to grab the opportunity, of you want to regret it later depends on you. I am just saying that if you are not buying $LEO, it's ok, but at least don't sell your $LEO because you will regret it later if you do so. It's too early to sell $LEO if you want to think about it from the trader's perspective.
today is more buying pressure than then, even without the zero emision, if one month ago $LEO would have had the same buying pressure the price will go up.
I remember when LEO reach the 0.10 cents in July-September of 2023.
In that time $LEO was not strong enough but now $LEO is going up with a solid foundation and so this time it's different from the last time you mentioned.
Deep Dive into Unconventional Physics and Critical Examination of Mainstream Theories
Introduction: A Stream of Consciousness and Experimental Inquiry
In a spontaneous and sprawling live stream, the host embarks on an experimental journey through physics, skepticism, and advanced theories that challenge mainstream scientific thought. The stream combines troubleshooting, philosophical musings, and technical experiments, highlighting a persistent desire to understand phenomena like magnetism, gravity, gyroscopic behavior, and atomic interactions from a perspective that questions established science.
The session begins with technical adjustments—moving chat windows and webcam positioning—driven by a personal obsession with symmetry and visual balance, which the host claims aids their cognitive process. Despite repeated technical frustrations involving audio levels, screen sharing, and hardware compatibility, the host systematically attempts to optimize the stream environment. Emphasis is placed on the importance of blockchain platforms like Hive, which are presented as revolutionary alternatives to proprietary social media and content hosting services, because Hive offers monetary rewards for posting, unlike YouTube or traditional email services that charge fees or violate privacy.
Throughout the stream, the host advocates for viewer engagement through donations via crypto, PayPal, and traditional means, emphasizing how these contributions support their ongoing operations. They promote subscription tiers offering custom emojis—serving both as a gesture of community-building and a practical revenue stream to fund streaming tools like Prism Live Studio. This platform has recently transitioned from free to paid plans, prompting calls for financial support from viewers.
Experimentation with Magnetic and Gravitational Phenomena
The core of the stream explores experiments involving magnets and drop tests designed to observe differences between attraction and repulsion under various conditions. Notably, the host reports that repulsion in magnetic drops appears to be slower than attraction, contradicting mainstream expectations that all objects in free fall accelerate at the same rate regardless of composition.
They reference and attempt to replicate experiments from notable figures such as Boyd Bushman and Paul Mueller, who claimed that magnetic objects in repulsion fall more slowly than in attraction or are affected differently by Earth's gravity. These experiments involve dropping magnets through copper tubes, magnetic "drop tests," and the use of an Atwood machine—a classic physics apparatus—to measure potential deviations from expected acceleration.
The host repeats these experiments multiple times, with different setups, high-altitude drops, and extended durations, aiming to verify if magnets under certain configurations exhibit anomalous falling behaviors. The recurring theme challenges the classic view that gravity acts uniformly on all masses, hinting at a possible interaction between magnetism and gravity itself.
Magnetic Fields, Quantum Spin, and Ether Hypotheses
A significant portion of the stream delves into the nature of magnetism at the atomic level. The host dissects explanations from mainstream physics, which describe electrons as tiny particles orbiting nuclei with an intrinsic property called "spin"—a quantum angular momentum. These spins align within materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel to generate macroscopic magnetic fields.
However, the host questions these models, proposing that what we interpret as "spin" and "magnetic fields" could instead be manifestations of ether-like fluctuations or underlying wave-based interactions in a universal medium—what they refer to as "ether vortices" or "ether gyros." This alternative view considers virtual particles, virtual photons, and quantum fluctuations as real physical phenomena, mediating forces and potentially causing anomalies in how magnets behave during experiments.
In particular, they criticize the idea that electrons physically spin like planets; instead, they posit that magnetism results from ether vortices or tiny rotational motions within space itself, which could explain observed phenomena like magnetic attraction, repulsion, and the behavior of gyroscopes and spinning toppers.
Debunking Misconceptions: Magnetic Fields and "Field Lines"
The presenter critiques popular explanations involving magnetic field lines and their visualizations through iron filings. While acknowledging their usefulness for illustration, they emphasize that field lines are imaginary constructs—"patterns" rather than physical entities—stemming from quantum interactions, virtual particles, and ether fluctuations.
They argue that the actual mechanism involves exchanges of virtual photons—quanta of electromagnetic force—and that magnetic forces arise from underlying quantum processes that are not fully understood or accurately depicted in traditional diagrams. This perspective aligns with the broader theme of seeking a deeper, ether-based explanation for electromagnetic phenomena.
The conversation shifts focus to gyroscopic experiments, where the host demonstrates how spinning gyroscopes, when subjected to external torques, demonstrate behaviors that seem to defy conventional physics. Using a low-friction environment—via ice or special surfaces—they observe that gyroscopes tend to "rise" or "align" with external influences in ways that are not explained by mainstream torque and angular momentum theories.
They reference "rising gyroscopes," "alignment of spin axes," and debates over the causes of these phenomena. The host criticizes typical scientific narratives that attribute gyroscopic stability solely to inertia, instead proposing ether interactions or wave interference as alternative explanations. They mock standard explanations, claiming they are incomplete or fabricated to hide underlying ether dynamics.
Spinning Tops, Electron Wave Functions, and Quantum Spin
In a detailed analysis, the host examines the behavior of spinning tops and electrons, analyzing how their angular momentum, spin, and wave functions influence physical actions like precession, rise, and fall. They suggest that what appears to be "nutation" or "tilting" could instead be manifestations of underlying ether vortices or wave patterns, rather than purely classical mechanics.
They critique mainstream physics for neglecting these possibilities and accuse certain scientists and textbooks of oversimplification or outright deception. The exploration extends into quantum mechanics, where the interaction of electron spins, exchange forces, and wave interference patterns are described as more consistent with ether-like vibrations than with isolated particles.
The Quantum Field Theory View and Virtual Particles
A core section delves into quantum electrodynamics (QED) and the concept of virtual particles—virtual photons—that mediate electromagnetic forces. The host describes how these virtual particles are exchanged between charged particles, producing attractions and repulsions, and argues that they represent ether fluctuations—standing waves or vibrational patterns in an underlying medium.
They criticize the mainstream narrative that virtual particles are merely mathematical constructs, instead proposing they are real entities—ether wakes—that ripple through space, influencing motion and force interactions at the quantum level. This aligns with their hypothesis that underlying ether dynamics give rise to observable phenomena like magnetism, gravity, and inertial effects.
Critical View of Mainstream Explanations and Call for a Paradigm Shift
Throughout the stream, the host advocates for a paradigm shift away from conventional "particle- and field-based" models toward an ether-centric view of physical reality. They argue that the entire foundation of physics—electromagnetism, gravity, inertia—is incomplete, misrepresented, or deliberately obscured by gatekeepers and mainstream scientists.
Claims include the possibility that magnetic and gravitational anomalies detected during experiments point toward new physics involving ether vortices, wave interference, or a unified medium that underpins all forces. The host criticizes censorship, suppression of alternative theories, and mainstream dismissiveness, positioning their own ideas as a step toward unlocking a deeper understanding of nature.
The Significance of Anomalies and Misinterpreted Data
Special attention is given to experimental anomalies such as:
Magnets' Falling Slower in Repulsion: Experimental data suggesting magnets in repulsion fall more slowly than attracted magnets.
Seismic and Electromagnetic Anomalies: Sudden changes in seismic readings and unexpected thermal effects in structures before and during supposed "nuclear" events.
Gyroscopic Behavior and Precession Anomalies: Unexpected gyroscope rise and alignment phenomena incompatible with standard physics.
The host emphasizes that these anomalies could be evidence of ether interactions or other unconventional forces, and urges the community to re-examine the data with an open mind.
Criticisms of Mainstream Science and Calls for Truth
A recurring theme is skepticism toward mainstream science, scientific censorship, and "disinformation." The host repeatedly states that official narratives about 9/11, nuclear physics, and quantum mechanics are incomplete or intentionally misleading. They encourage independent investigation, experimental replication, and a willingness to question authority.
They preface upcoming experiments, such as higher-altitude drops and magnetic field studies, with the intent of potentially overturning accepted physics and possibly earning recognition—though cynically noting that such discoveries are often suppressed or censored.
Conclusion: A Call for Open-Minded Inquiry and Experimental Validation
The live stream concludes with a plea for more open-minded scientific exploration, inviting viewers to support independent research, question prevailing doctrines, and participate in experimental validation of these unconventional ideas. They highlight the importance of understanding the true nature of forces, the ether, and quantum interactions—an endeavor that could revolutionize our understanding of reality.
In summary, this stream exemplifies a passionate, relentless pursuit of alternative physics rooted in ether theories, skepticism of mainstream explanations, and experimental investigation. It calls for a paradigm shift, urging scientists and enthusiasts alike to look beyond accepted models and explore the mysteries that continue to challenge our understanding of the universe.

!summarize
Part 1/14:
The Future of the BRICS and the Shifting Global Financial Order
The Dream of a Post-Dollar World
A year ago, the BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—appeared poised to challenge the US dollar's supremacy and fundamentally reshape the global economic landscape. These countries expanded from five to ten members, welcoming nations like the UAE, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Iran, signaling a move towards a multipolar financial system. Promises were made: new payment systems, local currency trade, and a collective economic muscle capable of intimidating Washington. The overarching narrative was one of independence from dollar dominance, with ambitions to end the dollar's role as the global reserve currency.
The Trump Effect and the Sudden Halt
Part 2/14:
However, the geopolitical landscape shifted dramatically with Donald Trump’s return to power. Almost overnight, the fervor for replacing the dollar faded, replaced by stony silence. Key leaders like Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin retreated from the international stage—Xi skipped the recent BRICS summit entirely, sending a stand-in instead, while Putin remained unseen behind a webcam. The bold plans for a new financial architecture were quietly shelved, and the ambitious initiatives did not materialize.
A Shift in Diplomatic and Strategic Dynamics
Part 3/14:
The latest BRICS summit in Rio marked a stark change. Traditionally, Xi Jinping would have been a prominent presence, but he was absent, and instead, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi took center stage. This shift was emblematic of a deeper issue: the internal divisions and rivalry among members. Japan's CNN report illustrated that India, despite vocal support for a multipolar order, did not aim to challenge the dollar head-on but wanted to safeguard its own economic interests. The summit, dominated by India, reflected a bloc torn between aspirations for a new world order and the realities of economic dependence on the US and Western markets.
Disillusionment and Fragmentation
Part 4/14:
The summit’s official agreements—such as climate finance commitments and multilateral guarantees—were notable, but what was conspicuously absent was concrete steps toward establishing an alternative currency or de-dollarization timeline. This lack of decisive action underscores the internal fractures: Iran dissented on some issues, disagreements between India and China persist, and Russia’s dependence on energy exports and sanctions complicate its position. The rivalry between India and China, each vying for leadership in the Global South, further hampers cohesive action. Their ongoing border disputes and strategic competition are stark reminders that unity remains elusive.
The Power of Financial Weapons and Responses
Part 5/14:
Trump’s threats of tariff escalation—warning of 100% import duties on countries exploring alternative currencies—seem to have had a paradoxical effect. Instead of deterring de-dollarization efforts, these threats have accelerated moves away from dollar dependence. Countries like Russia, Iran, China, and now others are actively diversifying their holdings, purchasing gold, and deploying digital currencies. For instance, Russia and Iran are developing their own stablecoins; China’s digital yuan gains acceptance domestically but faces hurdles abroad; Saudi Arabia is increasingly accepting yuan for oil sales.
The Gradual Erosion of Dollar Dominance
Part 6/14:
Despite rhetoric, the US dollar’s global standing shows signs of weakening. Investors and central banks are increasingly reluctant to flock to US Treasuries in times of geopolitical tension. Recent market data reveal that during market stress, US bonds are sold off rather than sought after as safe havens—a dramatic shift from decades of behavior. This signals waning confidence in US fiscal stability and indicates a broader shift towards diversification.
Cryptocurrencies: A Double-Edged Sword
Part 7/14:
In parallel, the cryptocurrency sector reflects the chaos and potential of a changing order. On one side, countries under sanctions—Russia, Iran, Venezuela—use crypto to bypass restrictions, turning digital assets into alternative financial pathways. On the other hand, the dominance of stablecoins tied to the US dollar persists; over 97% of stablecoins are pegged to USD, reinforcing the dollar’s influence even as countries attempt to reduce their reliance.
Part 8/14:
Nevertheless, the crypto scene remains fragmented. Russia's mixed stance—sometimes banning, sometimes utilizing Bitcoin—exemplifies the lack of a coordinated strategy. China’s face-off with mining and the push for its digital yuan contrast with the VAE’s ambition to become a crypto hub, illustrating a landscape of improvisation rather than unified action.
The Fragile Nature of the Current System
Part 9/14:
Xi Jinping’s absence at the Rio summit symbolizes the fundamental challenge: how can a coherent alternative to the dollar’s hegemony be built when the leading members are internally divided? Trump’s strategy of overbearing pressure—threatening crippling tariffs—is effectively a gamble. By pushing countries to diversify before they are ready, it unintentionally accelerates the de-dollarization trend.
Russia and Iran, for example, are stacking gold in response and conducting oil trades in yuan and rupees—small steps that are hastening the shift away from dollar reliance. These moves are not yet coordinated, but collectively they threaten to fragment the existing monetary system.
The Path Forward: From Fragmentation to Transformation
Part 10/14:
The overarching narrative is one of gradual change rather than abrupt revolution. Countries like Brazil, despite their leadership rhetoric, remain deeply integrated with Western financial systems. India’s vast IT sector and export dependence on dollar-based markets make outright abandonment of the system unlikely—at least for now. China, holding hundreds of billions in US Treasuries, is cautious about fully decoupling.
What emerges from this chaos is a pattern: peripheral countries seek to reduce reliance on the dollar through local currency trade, gold purchases, and digital assets, but face constraints and dependencies that limit their options. The internal conflicts among BRICS members and their divergent national interests slow down the formation of an effective alternate system.
Part 11/14:
Lessons from History and the Future Outlook
Historically, no monetary or political empire lasts forever. The British pound, the Spanish Royale, the Dutch Gilda, and the Byzantine Solidus all eventually lost their dominance. The dollar’s 80-year reign as the world’s reserve currency is also finite, especially as US military, political, and economic power faces challenges.
The current moment resembles a transitional phase: confidence in fiat currencies cracks, and countries look toward alternatives like gold and crypto. Although the process is slow and fraught with internal contradictions, evolution is occurring. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies stand to benefit significantly, especially as more nations under sanctions adopt crypto for international trade.
The Inevitable Disruption
Part 12/14:
However, the US will not give up its dominant position quietly. History suggests that superpowers fighting to maintain control often react forcefully when threatened. Trump's tariff threats and aggressive diplomacy could backfire, accelerating the fragmentation of the system as countries preemptively diversify their reserves and financial dependencies.
The key takeaway is that while the current effort to build a new financial architecture is fragile and inconsistent, its seeds are being planted. The gradual movement toward de-dollarization, powered by geopolitical tensions, technological innovation, and a desire for monetary sovereignty, signals a fundamental reshaping of the global financial system.
Conclusion
Part 13/14:
The world is witnessing the slow death of dollar hegemony, a process driven by internal divisions within emerging powers, strategic economic diversification, and technological advancements. The BRICS effort, though faltering at the surface, indicates a broader trend of countries seeking to escape US dominance—quietly, piecemeal, and often in ways that surprise central planners.
While revolution is not yet on the horizon, the ongoing shifts suggest a future where multiple currencies and digital systems coexist, challenging the dollar’s supremacy. As history has shown, empires fade, and new structures emerge—this time, possibly, through the quiet revolution of digital currencies and regional alliances.

Qubic aims to take control of Monero's hashrate in August with a 51% "tech demo" attack, focusing on demonstration rather than harm 🧠⛏️
Through the use of idle CPU cycles, Monero is mined, with XMR rewards being converted and QUBIC tokens burned. The Monero community is encouraging miners to further decentralize operations.
Will this harm or benefit Monero as a network?
Honestly, it’s more likely to harm Monero’s reputation than help it. A 51% attack, even as a "demo," could shake trust in its decentralization and security. Still, it might push the community to strengthen the network long-term
How much does it cost to do this 51% attack on Monero?
Hard to pin an exact cost, but it’s likely in the millions due to the hardware and power needed to overpower Monero’s hashrate. Check out Crypto51.app for rough estimates on 51% attack costs for various coins

The Harsh Reality of World War I in Late 1915: A Year of Tragedy and Turmoil
The year 2015 has seen a global reckoning with the refugee crisis, but few realize that mass displacements and suffering occurred a century earlier amid the chaos of World War I. As historian Indy Neidell narrates in this episode of The Great War, the horrors of early 20th-century conflicts were not isolated incidents but part of a long history of war-induced displacement and devastation.
The Frontlines of the Middle East and Europe
Part 2/13:
By late 1915, the battles on the Italian front near Soči had escalated into brutal, prolonged engagements. The Fourth Battle of Soči, which began immediately after the conclusion of the Third, resulted in intense combat lasting nearly seven weeks. The fighting, characterized by heavy artillery, aerial dogfights, and tunnel warfare involving explosives and avalanches, reflected the relentless nature of this conflict. Despite the chaos, official figures suggest that around 80,000 soldiers had been lost on both sides, with 50,000 Italians and 30,000 Austro-Hungarians falling in this series of battles.
Part 3/13:
Meanwhile, on the Balkan front, Serbia was facing a catastrophic retreat. The combined forces of Austria-Hungary, Germany, and Bulgaria had launched a massive assault on Serbia, forcing the Serbian army and civilian population to retreat into the mountains of Montenegro and Albania. The Serbian army, still numbering approximately 200,000, was in disarray, trying to avoid complete annihilation by wading into rugged, snow-covered terrains where they faced starvation, disease, and constant harassment from advancing enemy troops.
The Last Stand at Kosovo and the Serbian Tragedy
Part 4/13:
One of the final acts of resistance before Serbia’s strategic withdrawal was the Battle of Kosovo. The Serbian army and civilians fought fiercely on the Kosovo Plain, the symbolic heart of their historic kingdom, but ultimately, the tide was against them. By late November, the German command announced that Serbian operations in the region had ended, signaling the collapse of Serbia's resistance. This marked the end of organized Serbian military efforts in the face of overwhelming enemy numbers.
Part 5/13:
The retreat was marked by harrowing scenes—a refugee route stretching 150 kilometers, crammed with civilians exhausted and starving. War correspondent William G. Shepherd described the scene vividly, depicting thousands of bodies, starving children, women, and elderly people collapsing along the route. Despite the official reports, the chaos stretched far beyond the battlefield, with civilians suffering from exposure, hunger, and violence inflicted by local bands, especially in Albania, which was engulfed in its own turmoil.
Albania: A Land in Political Turmoil
Part 6/13:
Albania’s complex wartime status added another layer of chaos. Newly formed in 1914 and technically neutral, Albania was torn apart by internal discord and external invasion. The country was a patchwork of overlapping occupations: the southern regions, with their Greek ethnolinguistic populations, experienced Greek influence, while the northern and central parts saw control by local Albanian authorities and foreign armies like the Austrians, Serbs, Italians, and Greeks. Prince William of the Albanian throne fled the country in September 1914 amidst internal rebellions and external pressures.
Part 7/13:
The country’s political landscape was turbulent, with internal factions and foreign occupations plunging Albania into chaos. Despite efforts by the Allies to secure its neutrality, the country was quickly embroiled in the broader conflict, suffering from invasions, expeditions, and internal power struggles. The war's impact was felt not only militarily but also socially and politically, leading to a breakdown of order and authority.
Gallipoli and the Harsh Winter of 1915
Part 8/13:
The Gallipoli campaign, one of the war's most infamous endeavors, was equally brutal. A massive naval and land operation aimed at opening a new front to weaken the Ottoman Empire resulted in heavy casualties and logistical nightmares. A monstrous storm on November 27, 1915, caused the death of over 100 soldiers, with subsequent snowstorms claiming more lives through exposure and freezing temperatures.
Part 9/13:
The extreme cold affected Allied troops from Australia, India, and other nations, forcing evacuations and exposing the limitations of war efforts in such harsh winter conditions. Soldiers faced not only enemy fire but also the relentless brutality of nature—frozen mud, snow, and wind compounded their suffering. Interestingly, a surprise incident occurred on November 28, when German forces near Pinsk were captured, including two generals—highlighting the ongoing ebb and flow of the conflict.
The Broader Context: Military Movements and Political Declarations
Part 10/13:
Amid all this chaos, political decisions pivoted the war’s course. On December 1, Italy’s Foreign Minister Sidney Sonnino announced that Italy had formalized alliances with Russia, France, Britain, and Japan, emphasizing that no separate peace would be made with the Central Powers. Italy was consolidating its position after the costly battles on the Italian front and shifting its focus toward a broader coalition.
Meanwhile, the Russian army achieved a surprising victory against the Germans, offering a glimmer of hope amid the widespread destruction. Yet, the realities of war—extreme cold, logistical failures, and constant fighting—continued to ravage armies and civilians alike.
Humanity’s Suffering and the Cost of War
Part 11/13:
The autumn and winter of 1915 revealed the depths of human suffering caused by the war. Civilians and soldiers endured exposure, starvation, and violence on an unprecedented scale. Entire populations became refugees, fleeing across mountains and borders, often under threat from local militias and hostile factions. Shepherd’s eyewitness account of Albanians fleeing through brutal terrain underscores the scale of displacement: human bodies and animals strewn along the roads, with the despair palpable in every recounting.
Part 12/13:
The conflict tore nations apart, and the refugee crises of these years serve as a sobering reminder of the enduring toll of war. Both the military and civilian populations faced a future shadowed by loss and uncertainty, their stories woven into the enduring fabric of history.
Closing Thoughts
Part 13/13:
As Indy Neidell concludes, the First World War’s brutality extended well beyond the battlefield. The year 1915 was characterized not only by relentless combat but also by unparalleled human suffering, dislocation, and tragedy. From the snowy mountains of Serbia and Albania to the treacherous Gallipoli shores and the shifting fronts of Italy, the war’s human cost was immense and ongoing. The stories of resilience, despair, and upheaval echo through history, reminding us of the devastating price paid by countless individuals during this tumultuous period.

Part 1/12:
The Turbulent Year of 1915: A Comprehensive Overview
The British Indian Army's March and the Fall into Crisis
Throughout 1915, the British Indian Army was making significant strides against the Ottoman Empire, marching upstream along the Tigris River and clinching victory after victory. Their momentum was building, and they advanced steadily toward Baghdad, capturing essential territories and gaining momentum on the Middle Eastern front. However, this advance was short-lived, as the tide of the campaign turned dramatically.
Part 2/12:
This week marked a significant turning point for the British forces, who found themselves besieged in the city of Kut, suffering from a dire shortage of supplies and with no foreseeable relief in sight. The siege became a symbol of British military miscalculations and the harsh realities of prolonged warfare in unfamiliar terrain.
The Balkan and European Fronts: Battles and Cold Winters
The previous week saw the remnants of the Serbian army and thousands of civilians fleeing from advancing German, Austro-Hungarian, and Bulgarian forces. These refugees were desperate, often succumbing to exposure, starvation, and freezing temperatures as they tried to escape across the Albanian mountains. Many perished in their exodus, highlighting the tragic human cost of the Balkan theater.
Part 3/12:
Meanwhile, the Italian front quieted down after the Fourth Battle of the Isonzo, with winter bringing an end to most hostilities across European fronts. Although the fighting temporarily subsided, ongoing skirmishes persisted, and the frontlines remained tense and volatile.
Clashes in Flanders and Artois
In the west, the landscape was marked by stalemate rather than dramatic offensives. Since the Battle of Artois and Champagne had concluded in the previous months, no major offensive operations took place during the winter months. Despite some German reinforcements arriving in Flanders and Artois, German forces failed to regain significant territory; in fact, they even retreated in some areas due to flooding from the Yser River, which forced them to abandon front positions on December 7.
Part 4/12:
Notably, on December 8, six British aircraft targeted German supply depots near the Somme and the Hervilly airfield. Similarly, a British cargo ship ran aground off the Belgian coast, and German seaplanes attempted to sink it but were thwarted by Allied air patrols. The snow-covered Vosges Mountains further limited military activity beyond artillery shelling.
The Changing Tide in the Macedonian and Middle Eastern Campaigns
Part 5/12:
In Macedonia, intense fighting continued. On December 5, Ottoman forces under General Georgi Todorov launched assaults on British positions with a force of 100,000 troops, aiming to dislodge the Allies from strategic positions along the Vardar River. Under the cover of dense fog on December 6, Bulgarian troops, led by General Stepan Toshev, stealthily advanced and began bombardments, primarily targeting Irish units.
Part 6/12:
Despite Bulgarian attacks and attempts to outflank the Allies, the French held firm at critical points such as Demir Kapu. The French managed a daring retreat along a precarious single-track railway carved into a mountainside, managing to evacuate their troops and supplies under Bulgarian pressure. By December 10, French forces linked up with British units, establishing a temporary strategic consolidation.
Part 7/12:
In the Middle Eastern theatre, General Charles Townshend faced a harrowing retreat from Ktesifon along the Tigris River. After nine days of arduous fighting and suffering from severe logistical and sanitary problems, British Indian forces managed a tense withdrawal. The conditions were horrific: sick and injured soldiers suffering from inadequate sanitation and the presence of human waste, described vividly by Major Robert Carter, exemplifying the brutal hardships faced in this campaign.
The Siege of Kut: An Imminent Collapse
Part 8/12:
The fall of Kut loomed large as the British defenders faced continuous assault. Townshend, upon reaching the city on December 3, was told by General John Nixon to rally and prepare for further resistance or surrender. Despite his previous successful siege of Citra, Kut was now under severe threat. Ottoman attacks over the month inflicted heavy casualties, but the defenders managed to hold their ground, thanks in part to supply management and strategic retreats.
At Kut, approximately 14,500 British and Indian soldiers, along with 6,000 Arab civilians, were trapped under siege. Food supplies were calculated to last only about two months, and on December 7, Townshend announced he had enough provisions for 60 days, emphasizing the critical importance of resource management amid the crisis.
Part 9/12:
The Albanian Rebellion and New Fronts
In Albania, a significant political development unfolded. Essad Pasha declared his allegiance to the Allies, returning from exile and establishing control over parts of Albania. He welcomed Serbian refugees and expelled occupying Austro-Hungarian and Bulgarian forces, reflecting shifting alliances and the volatility of Balkan politics. This upheaval occurred amid ongoing fighting, with the frontlines elsewhere relatively quiet but still tense.
Gallipoli Evacuation and Strategic Failures
Part 10/12:
An important and controversial event of 1915 was the planned evacuation from Gallipoli. On December 7, 1915, Allied leaders finally decided to withdraw from the campaign, recognizing its futility and the high cost in human lives. Officially, the campaign had begun as an ambitious attempt to knock the Ottoman Empire out of the war and open a new front. However, as Peter Hart vividly describes in his book The Great War, Gallipoli was characterized by overconfidence, poor planning, and underestimating the Ottoman defenders.
Part 11/12:
Hart criticizes the campaign as a reckless gamble driven by misplaced optimism, which resulted in a tragic stalemate and enormous casualties with little strategic gain. The campaign's failure was compounded by logistical issues, underprepared troops, and a lack of understanding of the local conditions. Winston Churchill, who played a pivotal role in the planning, later faced criticism for his involvement in this ill-fated effort.
Conclusion: The Wider War in Context
While the Western Front experienced a lull during the winter months, the broader scope of World War I saw ongoing, intense conflicts across multiple theaters. The Middle East, the Balkans, and the Eastern Front all demonstrated the war's global nature, with shifting alliances and fierce combat.
Part 12/12:
The week concluded with the realization that some of the most ambitious and costly campaigns—like Gallipoli—had failed, and strategic reevaluations were underway. Meanwhile, the stalemates in Europe persisted, and the siege at Kut signaled the dangers of extended and poorly supported sieges in a rapidly changing war landscape.
This overview reflects the complex, multifaceted nature of 1915 during the Great War, illustrating both tactical battles and strategic miscalculations that shaped the course of history.

Part 1/10:
The Heroic Leadership of King Albert I of Belgium During World War I
Introduction to a Distinguished Leader
King Albert I of Belgium, born Albert Leopold Charles Marie Minna of Belgium on April 8, 1875, in Brussels Palace, emerged as a symbol of resilience and patriotism during one of the most tumultuous periods in European history. His leadership during World War I earned him widespread admiration, often renowned as "Belgium’s premier soldier."
Part 2/10:
Initially, Albert was the fifth son of King Leopold II and was considered unlikely to ascend to the throne. However, the deaths of his elder siblings in 1905 elevated him to the position of heir apparent, and he became the crown prince at only 16. Trained at the Royal Military Academy, he quickly demonstrated his dedication, not only serving as a military officer but also engaging in social issues and community visits to understand the plight of ordinary citizens. His compassion extended to establishing orphanages and visiting the Congo, where he advocated for the rights and protection of indigenous peoples.
Ascension to the Throne and Personal Life
Part 3/10:
Albert became king in 1909 after the death of his father, King Leopold II. His reign was characterized by a blend of approachable governance and strong defense policies. Married to Bavarian Princess Elisabeth, Albert was a father of three sons and was widely loved by his people for his approachable, humanitarian style. His efforts to modernize Belgium’s defense included the introduction of widespread conscription in 1903, preparing the nation for impending conflict.
The Outbreak of War and Defiance of Germany
Part 4/10:
When World War I erupted in 1914, tensions escalated rapidly. Despite Belgium’s neutrality, Germany demanded passage through Belgian territory to swiftly advance into France. King Albert I, committed to defending his nation’s sovereignty, refused this demand outright. This defiance prompted Germany to violate Belgium’s neutrality, an act that transformed a regional conflict into a broader European war.
As military commander-in-chief, Albert faced a unprepared but resilient Belgian army of around 200,000 troops. Their initial resistance was fierce, exceeding German expectations and delaying their push into France. This resistance played a crucial role in giving the Allied forces valuable time to organize their defenses, notably during the Battle of the Marne.
Part 5/10:
Resilience Under Impossible Odds
Although much of Belgian territory fell under German occupation, King Albert refused to surrender. His strategic decision to retreat to the Yser River and breach the river defenses became a symbolic standstill, preventing the Germans from advancing towards the ports crucial for the Allied supply lines. This marked the beginning of trench warfare from Belgium's remaining frontlines, with Albert often leading frontline efforts despite the risks.
Part 6/10:
Throughout the war, Albert stayed at the front lines, even as his government moved to exile in Le Havre. The first winter proved devastating, with shortages of food and supplies, freezing temperatures, and widespread disease claiming many soldiers. Despite these hardships, Belgium's resistance persisted, with new recruits undergoing training in France, and hospitals being established to care for the wounded.
The Final Push and Liberation
Part 7/10:
The tide turned in September 1918, when Belgian forces — particularly the Flanders regiment — crossed the Yser River, initiating the liberation of Belgium. These efforts culminated in the cessation of German occupation, coinciding with the armistice signed on November 11, 1918. Throughout this period, King Albert was celebrated as a war hero, his steadfast leadership inspiring his nation and its allies.
However, not all Belgians viewed his leadership favorably; some exiled Belgians considered him a traitor for delaying the nation's entry into direct confrontation with the Germans early in the war. Nonetheless, his commitment to the country's survival and his soldierly conduct solidified his legacy.
Post-War Contributions and Controversies
Part 8/10:
Following the war, King Albert attended the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, emphasizing the need to rebuild Belgium and restore stability. His decisions, especially the strategic choice to breach the Yser River, have been subject to historical debate. Critics argue that certain measures, like the destruction of dikes which led to health crises and many casualties, were detrimental, yet these actions also exemplified his determination to safeguard remaining Belgian territory.
Despite promises and agreements, the Germans did not occupy the entire Belgian coast, maintaining a tense and fragile peace. Albert’s commitment to national reconstruction continued until his untimely death in 1934, caused by a mountaineering accident.
Legacy of a Resilient Leader
Part 9/10:
King Albert I remains a revered figure in Belgium’s history. His mixture of soldierly bravery, compassionate leadership, and unwavering dedication to his people's sovereignty define his enduring legacy. His leadership during World War I exemplifies the profound impact of determined, principled leadership against overwhelming odds.
Conclusion
Part 10/10:
King Albert I’s life and wartime role highlight how strong leadership and moral conviction can rally a nation during its darkest hours. His refusal to accept defeat, frontline leadership, and commitment to independence underscore the importance of resilient leadership in times of crisis. For those interested in the detailed stories of Belgium’s resistance and the broader context of World War I, exploring more about the German invasion of Belgium offers invaluable insights into this pivotal historical episode.

🇦🇪 UAE GDP Growth
1993: $52 billion
2023: $504 billion
How much is that in $BTC from 2008?
UAE GDP in 2008 was about $315 billion. Bitcoin price back then was negligible, basically $0 since it started trading in 2009. So, converting it to BTC isn’t really possible for that year sadly
What do mean it is not possible? ($315*10^9) / $0.00099 = ?
Fair point, but Bitcoin's earliest price data from 2009 is around $0.00099. Problem is, it wasn't widely traded or stable back then, so calculating $315B UAE GDP into BTC with that price feels speculative at best
That wasn'T the question. Do the math , bro!
Alright, let's do the math. $315 billion divided by $0.00099 comes out to roughly 318 trillion BTC. But honestly, with Bitcoin's price being so unstable back then, this number is more theoretical than practical

Part 1/10:
Exploring Ethereum's Top Layer 2 Ecosystems and Their Investment Potential
As Ethereum's price surges, market participants are increasingly curious about where the capital will flow next. A significant portion of this investor interest is shifting towards Ethereum's own Layer 2 (L2) ecosystems. Despite some tokens within these ecosystems still trading well below their all-time highs, they present considerable upside potential. This article provides a comprehensive overview of Ethereum’s leading Layer 2 tokens, including how to access these ecosystems, key projects within their networks, and the estimated future value of their native tokens.
What Are Layer 2 Solutions and Why Are They Important?
Part 2/10:
Ethereum faces some well-known challenges—mainly slow transaction speeds and high fees. To counteract this, developers have built separate blockchains called Layer 2 solutions atop the Ethereum mainnet. These sidechains leverage Ethereum’s security while offering faster and cheaper transactions, addressing the blockchain trilemma of security, decentralization, and scalability.
Layer 2 solutions primarily employ rollup technology, bundling multiple transactions off-chain and submitting a single proof back to Ethereum. This process dramatically increases transaction throughput while reducing costs. The two main types of rollups are:
Part 3/10:
Both types contribute uniquely to Ethereum’s scalability, with ZK rollups generally offering faster transaction times but demanding heavy computational resources.
The Major Ethereum Layer 2 Ecosystems
1. Arbitrum (ARB)
Arbitrum, developed by Offchain Labs, is currently the leading Layer 2 by Total Value Locked (TVL). Launched in September 2021, its native governance token ARB debuted in March 2023. Arbitrum offers an ecosystem for scaling Ethereum smart contracts via various components:
Part 4/10:
Arbitrum Nitro: The tech stack enabling development of Orbit Chains, which are Layer 3 solutions.
Arbitrum Stylus: Enables building EVM-compatible contracts using languages like Rust, C, and C++.
Arbitrum Nova: A faster, cheaper chain optimized for social media and gaming, with some centralization tradeoffs.
The ARB token traded at approximately 80% below its all-time high of ~$240. Given the ecosystem's growth, a conservative estimate suggests ARB could surge roughly 8x–10x, potentially reaching around $8–$10.
2. Base (BAS)
Part 5/10:
Launched by Coinbase in August 2023, Base is an optimistic rollup blockchain that quickly gained popularity due to its efficiency and tight integration with Coinbase’s wallet ecosystem. Unlike other Layer 2s, Base currently does not have its own native token, and Coinbase officials have publicly stated they have no plans to introduce one in the near future.
Base supports thousands of projects, with a user-friendly approach to exploration facilitated via CoinMarketCap's developer tools and ecosystem project lists. Given its growth trajectory, the native token speculation is minimal, but Coinbase’s stock and ecosystem adoption position it as a significant player.
3. Optimism (OP)
Part 6/10:
Founded in early 2019 and mainnet launched in December 2021, Optimism aims to unify fragmented Layer 2 chains through its "superchain" protocol. The OP token remains over 85% below its previous high of ~$4.85 but is poised for significant growth. Conservative estimates suggest OP could increase around 10x, possibly reaching $8.50 or higher as adoption continues. Its governance and ecosystem development are closely watched by the community.
4. Uniswap Chain (UNI)
Uniswap, the leading decentralized exchange (DEX), expanded into its own chain, Uniswap Chain, launched in February 2023. This blockchain enhances DeFi capabilities with over 100 projects already integrated. Users can bridge assets through Uniswap’s platform, which supports a vibrant developer ecosystem.
Part 7/10:
The UNI token has declined from nearly $45 to about 25% of its all-time high, implying a potential 4x to 5x upside based on demand from DeFi users and growth within the Uniswap ecosystem. With Ethereum’s expanding DeFi activity, UNI could easily surpass higher targets, with conservative estimates around $80–$100.
5. zkSync (ZKS)
Unique among the listed solutions, zkSync employs ZK rollups rather than optimistic rollups. Since its inception in 2018 and with its recent version (ZK Sync ERA) launching in March 2023, it has become a dominant player particularly in the real-world asset (RWA) space. Its ZK token is roughly 80% below its all-time high of $32, offering a 5x upside if it reclaims previous levels.
Part 8/10:
Its concentrated dominance in the RWA niche, with around 18% market share, signals strong growth potential as ZK rollup technology gains wider acceptance for DeFi and tokenized assets.
How to Access and Explore These Ecosystems
Getting involved with these Layer 2 networks involves connecting a compatible wallet (such as MetaMask) and adding the respective networks via tools like Chainlist or directly through web interfaces.
Arbitrum: Use the Arbitrum portal to bridge assets and explore apps sorted by categories like DeFi, gaming, or AI.
Base: Access through Coinbase Wallet, or bridge assets via the Coinbase ecosystem.
Optimism: Use the superchain.eco platform to discover projects within its expanding ecosystem.
Part 9/10:
Uniswap Chain: Visit the Uniswap app to bridge assets and explore available projects.
zkSync: Use portal.zksync.io for bridging and project exploration.
Future Outlook and Investment Potential
While current token prices are generally significantly below their peaks, the growth prospects of these ecosystems are promising. Ethereum’s Layer 2 solutions are critical in enabling scalable, affordable, and user-friendly DeFi, gaming, and social media applications.
The ARBs, OPs, UNI, and ZKS tokens each have the potential for 5x–10x gains, assuming wider adoption and successful ecosystem expansion. However, investors should conduct thorough research and remember that these estimates are speculative.
Conclusion
Part 10/10:
Ethereum’s Layer 2 ecosystems are at the forefront of scaling innovation, with multiple solutions vying for dominance. Arbitrum and Optimism currently lead the pack, with robust ecosystems and promising value propositions. Newly emerging chains like Base, Uniswap Chain, and zkSync further diversify the landscape, offering investors numerous avenues for growth.
Stay tuned to ecosystem developments, project launches, and token performance to position yourself for potential upside as Ethereum continues its move upward. Remember, always exercise caution and do your own due diligence in this rapidly evolving space.

Perhaps a great lens into $LEO's future is looking at something like $BNB
BNB has performed incredibly well over the years and steadily grinds up and to the right. The max supply is 200M tokens and Binance has made it their mission to burn the supply down to 100M
The Market Cap is over $110B. The core mechanisms driving it are exchange and other inflows that the BNB Ecosystem of products generates
With $LEO, we're constantly building mechanisms to generate revenue and create inflows to the token. We're also burning the supply through the Bridge Revenue using exogenous capital
With LEO 2.0, the supply is capped at 30M and IMO will continue to dwindle down toward 20M by the year 2030 (rough estimate)
I agree with the burning down to 20M.
I could agree with you on that, $LEO is on the way to be a better version in all ways. The price is so so so undervalued at this moment and I can already see people wanting to buy more of LEO at tribaldex already.

Unpopular Opinion :
The housing market is just a tax shelter for the rich. Normal people should not partake.
so what should young people do then?
(Agree with the first part)
$BTC 😎
haha sure!
But the issue here we had huge foreign investors buying almost all houses in the cities. Renting it for 3x mortage.
People are running out of options.
Same is happening here many places. It should be disallowed to own more than 3 properties
learn that life is not about physical things.
Also rent. It gives you mobility.
I could go on and on
fair point!
Unfortunately true…in the current market the data is there to support this. Unless ur using real estate specifically for leverage to buy more real estate or save on taxes it’s a lose-lose situation.
The housing market here in Atlanta is horrible. If ur “lucky” enough to qualify to buy a home you’ll end up paying like 20% over because Blackstone and others are driving prices up.
The American dream is dead 💀
it never was the American Dream.
That was propaganda from
The government and banks.
But I agree with your thread.
True indeed…the “dream” was always bait.
I guess when I say dream I’m more so looking back at the time when a married man could work at a factory and still afford to buy a home and take care of a stay-at-home wife & kids.
that was such a small moment in time. I consider it a transitional moment. Nothing to look back upon.
Maybe normal people can benefit from setting up trusts.

68.5k left only? It's draining faster than my expectations.
Keeping the funds of 3 people in a single account is the most troublesome thing, especially when it comes to calculations. My brother and sister both took their withdrawal from my Binance account, and for the last 1 hour I was doing calculations and separating their fund. I told them to create their own account, but they are too lazy to do that and say they need to use it rarely. I don't know when they will overcome their laziness. Creating an account is not so difficult.
#calculation #account #binance #cent
if you keep accepting doing that they will never create their own accounts. So, now you know what to do.
They will do in case if they do frequent transactions for sure. That's my thought.
The $LEO price keeps going up and with HIVE's price going down, $LSTR is now even more undervalued
Haven't run the math yet but I believe LSTR's fund value is approaching a 35% mNav Discount
This means that buying 1 LSTR today is a 35% instantaneous profit after the sell wall (68,558.206 LSTR) is sold out
Once these LSTR's are gone, I think we'll all wish we had more
I will make it sure to buy enough LSTR before LSTR start to go up. You guys are moving up like a rocket.
OMG! It seems I missed a lot and now I have something to study on...

Good morning Lions!
MOAR $LEO
MOAR $LSTR
Good morning. It's already the evening here. So, good evening from my side.
Good morning. Let the LSTR buying begins!
Maybe 2 months ago, I could buy 650+$LEO just by using 10 $HBD, and now I need to pay 43 $HBD if I want to buy the same amount of $LEO. It's really driving me crazy. Just imagine where the LEO will reach in the upcoming months. Do you want to grab the opportunity, of you want to regret it later depends on you. I am just saying that if you are not buying $LEO, it's ok, but at least don't sell your $LEO because you will regret it later if you do so. It's too early to sell $LEO if you want to think about it from the trader's perspective.
#leo #trade #buy #thoughts #cent
How far we have all came together. Now a day will come when only 1 Leo will be buyable from 1 HBD.
It will come very soon and I believe that it's more close to us than our expectation.
today is more buying pressure than then, even without the zero emision, if one month ago $LEO would have had the same buying pressure the price will go up.
I remember when LEO reach the 0.10 cents in July-September of 2023.
In that time $LEO was not strong enough but now $LEO is going up with a solid foundation and so this time it's different from the last time you mentioned.

Part 1/20:
Deep Dive into Unconventional Physics and Critical Examination of Mainstream Theories
Introduction: A Stream of Consciousness and Experimental Inquiry
In a spontaneous and sprawling live stream, the host embarks on an experimental journey through physics, skepticism, and advanced theories that challenge mainstream scientific thought. The stream combines troubleshooting, philosophical musings, and technical experiments, highlighting a persistent desire to understand phenomena like magnetism, gravity, gyroscopic behavior, and atomic interactions from a perspective that questions established science.
Technical Adjustments and Personal Obsessions
Part 2/20:
The session begins with technical adjustments—moving chat windows and webcam positioning—driven by a personal obsession with symmetry and visual balance, which the host claims aids their cognitive process. Despite repeated technical frustrations involving audio levels, screen sharing, and hardware compatibility, the host systematically attempts to optimize the stream environment. Emphasis is placed on the importance of blockchain platforms like Hive, which are presented as revolutionary alternatives to proprietary social media and content hosting services, because Hive offers monetary rewards for posting, unlike YouTube or traditional email services that charge fees or violate privacy.
Funding, Donations, and Community Engagement
Part 3/20:
Throughout the stream, the host advocates for viewer engagement through donations via crypto, PayPal, and traditional means, emphasizing how these contributions support their ongoing operations. They promote subscription tiers offering custom emojis—serving both as a gesture of community-building and a practical revenue stream to fund streaming tools like Prism Live Studio. This platform has recently transitioned from free to paid plans, prompting calls for financial support from viewers.
Experimentation with Magnetic and Gravitational Phenomena
Part 4/20:
The core of the stream explores experiments involving magnets and drop tests designed to observe differences between attraction and repulsion under various conditions. Notably, the host reports that repulsion in magnetic drops appears to be slower than attraction, contradicting mainstream expectations that all objects in free fall accelerate at the same rate regardless of composition.
Part 5/20:
They reference and attempt to replicate experiments from notable figures such as Boyd Bushman and Paul Mueller, who claimed that magnetic objects in repulsion fall more slowly than in attraction or are affected differently by Earth's gravity. These experiments involve dropping magnets through copper tubes, magnetic "drop tests," and the use of an Atwood machine—a classic physics apparatus—to measure potential deviations from expected acceleration.
Part 6/20:
The host repeats these experiments multiple times, with different setups, high-altitude drops, and extended durations, aiming to verify if magnets under certain configurations exhibit anomalous falling behaviors. The recurring theme challenges the classic view that gravity acts uniformly on all masses, hinting at a possible interaction between magnetism and gravity itself.
Magnetic Fields, Quantum Spin, and Ether Hypotheses
Part 7/20:
A significant portion of the stream delves into the nature of magnetism at the atomic level. The host dissects explanations from mainstream physics, which describe electrons as tiny particles orbiting nuclei with an intrinsic property called "spin"—a quantum angular momentum. These spins align within materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel to generate macroscopic magnetic fields.
Part 8/20:
However, the host questions these models, proposing that what we interpret as "spin" and "magnetic fields" could instead be manifestations of ether-like fluctuations or underlying wave-based interactions in a universal medium—what they refer to as "ether vortices" or "ether gyros." This alternative view considers virtual particles, virtual photons, and quantum fluctuations as real physical phenomena, mediating forces and potentially causing anomalies in how magnets behave during experiments.
Part 9/20:
In particular, they criticize the idea that electrons physically spin like planets; instead, they posit that magnetism results from ether vortices or tiny rotational motions within space itself, which could explain observed phenomena like magnetic attraction, repulsion, and the behavior of gyroscopes and spinning toppers.
Debunking Misconceptions: Magnetic Fields and "Field Lines"
The presenter critiques popular explanations involving magnetic field lines and their visualizations through iron filings. While acknowledging their usefulness for illustration, they emphasize that field lines are imaginary constructs—"patterns" rather than physical entities—stemming from quantum interactions, virtual particles, and ether fluctuations.
Part 10/20:
They argue that the actual mechanism involves exchanges of virtual photons—quanta of electromagnetic force—and that magnetic forces arise from underlying quantum processes that are not fully understood or accurately depicted in traditional diagrams. This perspective aligns with the broader theme of seeking a deeper, ether-based explanation for electromagnetic phenomena.
Gyroscopes, Spinning Tops, and Anomalous Behavior
Part 11/20:
The conversation shifts focus to gyroscopic experiments, where the host demonstrates how spinning gyroscopes, when subjected to external torques, demonstrate behaviors that seem to defy conventional physics. Using a low-friction environment—via ice or special surfaces—they observe that gyroscopes tend to "rise" or "align" with external influences in ways that are not explained by mainstream torque and angular momentum theories.
Part 12/20:
They reference "rising gyroscopes," "alignment of spin axes," and debates over the causes of these phenomena. The host criticizes typical scientific narratives that attribute gyroscopic stability solely to inertia, instead proposing ether interactions or wave interference as alternative explanations. They mock standard explanations, claiming they are incomplete or fabricated to hide underlying ether dynamics.
Spinning Tops, Electron Wave Functions, and Quantum Spin
Part 13/20:
In a detailed analysis, the host examines the behavior of spinning tops and electrons, analyzing how their angular momentum, spin, and wave functions influence physical actions like precession, rise, and fall. They suggest that what appears to be "nutation" or "tilting" could instead be manifestations of underlying ether vortices or wave patterns, rather than purely classical mechanics.
They critique mainstream physics for neglecting these possibilities and accuse certain scientists and textbooks of oversimplification or outright deception. The exploration extends into quantum mechanics, where the interaction of electron spins, exchange forces, and wave interference patterns are described as more consistent with ether-like vibrations than with isolated particles.
Part 14/20:
The Quantum Field Theory View and Virtual Particles
A core section delves into quantum electrodynamics (QED) and the concept of virtual particles—virtual photons—that mediate electromagnetic forces. The host describes how these virtual particles are exchanged between charged particles, producing attractions and repulsions, and argues that they represent ether fluctuations—standing waves or vibrational patterns in an underlying medium.
Part 15/20:
They criticize the mainstream narrative that virtual particles are merely mathematical constructs, instead proposing they are real entities—ether wakes—that ripple through space, influencing motion and force interactions at the quantum level. This aligns with their hypothesis that underlying ether dynamics give rise to observable phenomena like magnetism, gravity, and inertial effects.
Critical View of Mainstream Explanations and Call for a Paradigm Shift
Part 16/20:
Throughout the stream, the host advocates for a paradigm shift away from conventional "particle- and field-based" models toward an ether-centric view of physical reality. They argue that the entire foundation of physics—electromagnetism, gravity, inertia—is incomplete, misrepresented, or deliberately obscured by gatekeepers and mainstream scientists.
Claims include the possibility that magnetic and gravitational anomalies detected during experiments point toward new physics involving ether vortices, wave interference, or a unified medium that underpins all forces. The host criticizes censorship, suppression of alternative theories, and mainstream dismissiveness, positioning their own ideas as a step toward unlocking a deeper understanding of nature.
Part 17/20:
The Significance of Anomalies and Misinterpreted Data
Special attention is given to experimental anomalies such as:
Magnets' Falling Slower in Repulsion: Experimental data suggesting magnets in repulsion fall more slowly than attracted magnets.
Seismic and Electromagnetic Anomalies: Sudden changes in seismic readings and unexpected thermal effects in structures before and during supposed "nuclear" events.
Gyroscopic Behavior and Precession Anomalies: Unexpected gyroscope rise and alignment phenomena incompatible with standard physics.
The host emphasizes that these anomalies could be evidence of ether interactions or other unconventional forces, and urges the community to re-examine the data with an open mind.
Criticisms of Mainstream Science and Calls for Truth
Part 18/20:
A recurring theme is skepticism toward mainstream science, scientific censorship, and "disinformation." The host repeatedly states that official narratives about 9/11, nuclear physics, and quantum mechanics are incomplete or intentionally misleading. They encourage independent investigation, experimental replication, and a willingness to question authority.
They preface upcoming experiments, such as higher-altitude drops and magnetic field studies, with the intent of potentially overturning accepted physics and possibly earning recognition—though cynically noting that such discoveries are often suppressed or censored.
Conclusion: A Call for Open-Minded Inquiry and Experimental Validation
Part 19/20:
The live stream concludes with a plea for more open-minded scientific exploration, inviting viewers to support independent research, question prevailing doctrines, and participate in experimental validation of these unconventional ideas. They highlight the importance of understanding the true nature of forces, the ether, and quantum interactions—an endeavor that could revolutionize our understanding of reality.
Part 20/20:
In summary, this stream exemplifies a passionate, relentless pursuit of alternative physics rooted in ether theories, skepticism of mainstream explanations, and experimental investigation. It calls for a paradigm shift, urging scientists and enthusiasts alike to look beyond accepted models and explore the mysteries that continue to challenge our understanding of the universe.
