Lorena Espaillat es la actual Gerente de Marketing de Moviti, pero su historia no empieza ahí. En esta tertulia hablamos de su trayectoria profesional, la influencia que tuvo su padre en su ética de trabajo, y cómo ese empuje la llevó a asumir posiciones de liderazgo a una edad en la que muchos apenas están calentando motores.Conversamos sobre su crecimiento dentro del Grupo Martí, sus experiencias liderando mercados fuera de RD como Puerto Rico y Panamá, y los casos de éxito que ha construido con marcas como Volvo, Fiat y Jetour.Lorena es de esas profesionales que no le teme al trabajo duro, que se arremanga la camisa y se mete en la operación cuando toca, y que entiende que la fórmula detrás del éxito siempre tiene trabajo, pasión y estrategia.
Negli anni Settanta e Ottanta, l'Italia visse profondi cambiamenti sociali e culturali. Nonostante le tensioni politiche degli “anni di piombo”, nacquero nuove culture giovanili, cambiamenti nei costumi familiari e una grande fioritura artistica. Per chi studia l'italiano, conoscere questo periodo è fondamentale per capire l'identità italiana di oggi. L'Italia negli Anni '70 e '80: Un Viaggio nella Vita, Musica, Cultura e Famiglia del Belpaese La Vita Quotidiana tra Tradizione e Cambiamento La vita quotidiana degli italiani negli anni Settanta subì trasformazioni epocali. Il tradizionale modello di famiglia patriarcale iniziò a essere messo in discussione, mentre le donne conquistavano sempre maggiori spazi nella società. Nel 1975 fu approvata la riforma del diritto di famiglia, che riconobbe la parità tra coniugi e introdusse il concetto di potestà genitoriale condivisa. Le case italiane si riempirono di nuovi elettrodomestici: la lavatrice divenne comune anche nelle famiglie della classe media, mentre la televisione a colori iniziò a diffondersi alla fine del decennio. Il telefono fisso diventò un simbolo di status sociale, e molte famiglie facevano la fila per installarlo. Le cucine si modernizzarono con l'arrivo del frigorifero con freezer e dei primi forni a microonde, anche se questi ultimi rimanevano ancora un lusso per pochi. Un esempio tipico di giornata familiare negli anni Settanta iniziava con il caffè del mattino preparato con la moka Bialetti, diventata un'icona del design italiano. I bambini andavano a scuola spesso accompagnati a piedi dalle madri, mentre i padri si recavano al lavoro in Fiat 500 o 126, le automobili più popolari dell'epoca. La spesa si faceva ancora nei negozi di quartiere: dal fornaio per il pane fresco, dal macellaio per la carne, dal fruttivendolo per verdure e frutta di stagione. Una tipica conversazione dal fruttivendolo: "Buongiorno signora Maria, oggi cosa le servo?" - "Mi dia due chili di arance, un chilo di mele e mezzo chilo di banane, per favore." - "Ecco a Lei, sono 3.500 lire in totale." Notate come si usava ancora la lira italiana e i rapporti erano molto personali e cordiali. Quando arrivava un ospite inaspettato, era comune dire: "Ti faccio subito un caffè!" L'ospitalità italiana prevedeva sempre l'offerta immediata di caffè o qualcosa da mangiare. Era considerato maleducato non accettare almeno un caffè, anche se non si aveva voglia. La Rivoluzione Musicale: Dal Beat alla Nuova Canzone Italiana La musica italiana degli anni Settanta visse una vera e propria rivoluzione. Nacque il fenomeno dei cantautori, artisti che scrivevano e interpretavano le proprie canzoni, spesso con testi di forte impegno sociale e politico. Fabrizio De André pubblicò album leggendari come "Non al denaro non all'amore né al cielo" (1971) e "Rimini" (1978), raccontando storie di emarginati e outsider con una poesia che elevava la canzone a forma d'arte letteraria. Francesco Guccini divenne la voce della generazione del Sessantotto con brani come "Dio è morto" e "Locomotive", mentre Lucio Battisti rivoluzionò il pop italiano con melodie innovative e arrangiamenti sofisticati in collaborazione con il paroliere Giulio Rapetti, noto come Mogol. Canzoni come "Il mio canto libero" (1972) e "Amarsi un po'" (1977) entrarono nell'immaginario collettivo italiano. Gli anni Ottanta portarono una nuova ondata di energia con l'arrivo della new wave italiana. Vasco Rossi esplose sulla scena con "Colpa d'Alfredo" (1980) e "Vita spericolata" (1983), diventando l'idolo dei giovani con il suo rock anticonformista. Renato Zero conquistò il pubblico con spettacoli teatrali e costumi stravaganti, mentre gruppi come i Litfiba e gli Skiantos portarono il punk rock in Italia. La musica leggera trovò nuovi protagonisti in Adriano Celentano, che negli anni Settanta si reinventò come showman televisivo, e in Mina, considerata ancora oggi una delle voci più importanti della stori...
Gaat de beursgong verdwijnen? Die kans bestaat, als het aan de beurshandelaren in Londen ligt tenminste. De Londen Stock Exchange overweegt om het sluiten van de beurs te schrappen. Ze willen 24 uur per dag gaan handelen. Ze zien dat particulieren juist pas na het sluiten aan het handelen slaan. Daar willen ze op inspelen. Wij, traditioneel als we zijn, zien ook wat haken en ogen. Welke, dat bespreken we deze aflevering. We hebben het ook nog over autobouwer Stellantis .Die komt met een enorme waarschuwing. Beleggers gingen uit van een kleine winst, over de afgelopen maanden. Maar Stellantis helpt ze uit die droom: er komt een verlies aan, van maar liefst 2,3 miljard euro over het eerste halfjaar. We vertellen je over Prosus, dat er alles aan doet om de overname van Just Eat Takeaway door te laten gaan. Ze zijn zelfs bereid om daarvoor een belang in een ander bedrijf af te bouwen. Prosus is ook groot-aandeelhouder van Delivery Hero, een Duitse maaltijdbezorger. De Europese Commissie is daar niet blij mee, want dan zou Prosus een te groot deel van de markt in handen krijgen. Daarom komt Prosus de commissie tegemoet, door haar belang in Delivery Hero te verkleinen. Verder in deze aflevering: Een ruzie tussen een Amerikaanse grootbank en de Chinese overheid Een ruzie tussen PostNL en de Nederlandse overheid Jensen Huang van Nvidia blijft maar aandelen verkopen En krijg je weer een BNR Beurs Handelsoorlog-update?

¡Vamos a escribir una carta a los Reyes Magos de Oriente!... o mejor dos. He hecho una lista de 20 coches de los que me gustaría que las marcas respectivas hiciesen un “remake”. Pero espero hacer una segunda lista con vuestras propuestas… ¡Este va a ser un podcast divertido! Un remake que, para que valga la pena, tiene que cumplir unas condiciones: Primera: Mantener el espíritu del modelo original. Segunda: Ofrecer un nuevo modelo dirigido a un tipo de cliente similar. Tercera: Respetar las líneas estéticas maestras del original. Cuarta: Que exista un hilo conductor también en el aspecto técnico. Quinto: Y a lo mejor, la más importante, ¡ser valientes! Vamos con mi lista de candidatos. 1. Aston Martin DB5 (1963). Para mí no hay un Aston Martin más bonito que este. 2. Cadillac Eldorado (1959). ¡Hay que ser valientes! 3. Citroën DS (1955). Para mi uno de los coches que más se prestan y se merecen algo así. 4. Citroën C15 (1984). Probablemente la furgoneta de las llamadas “derivadas” con más mística… 5. Citroën 2 CV (1948). No hay un remake que respete nuestras 5 condiciones. 6. DMC DeLorean (1981). ¡Pocos coches se merecen más una segunda oportunidad que este! 7. De Tomaso Pantera (1971). La verdad es que pocos coches han envejecido mejor que este. 8. Fiat Multipla (1998). Para mí este modelo fue más incomprendido que feo. 9. Fiat-Seat 127 (1971). Este modelo, nacido como Fiat en 1971, merece un remake. 10. Honda S2000 (1999). Este modelo, que cumple 26 años, requeriría de muy poco para volver a estar en activo. 11. Jaguar E (1961). Esta idea me vuelve loco. 12. Lamborghini Miura (1966). ¿Quién tiene lo que hay que tener para pretender mejorar la obra, genial, del genial Marcello Gandini? 12+1. Lancia 037 (1982). Hablamos del último coche capaz de ganar un Mundial de Rallyes con tracción a un solo eje. 14. Lancia Stratos (1973). Una mezcla de las dificultades del Miura y del 037. 15. Lotus Esprit (1976). Un coche a menudo olvidado a pesar de ser “coche Bond” . 16. Mach 5 de Meteoro (1967). He incluido este coche de ficción, aunque lo hubo “funcionales”. 17. Mazda Mx3 (1991). En este caso no se trata solo de carrocería, sino de hacer un moderno motor V6 de 1.8 litros. 18. Opel Kadett GSi (1984). Opel dejo escapar por el sumidero la imagen del Kadett GSi, en particular y del último Kadett en general. 19. Peugeot 205 (1983). Peugeot realmente nunca ha sido capaz de llenar el vacío que dejó su 205. Y puede que solo sea posible llenar el hueco del 205 con… otro 205. 20. Toyota 2000 GT (1967). Personalmente agradezco a Toyota que sea una de las pocas marcas que sigue apostando con los coupés. Conclusión. Comentábamos en un video sobre los “remake” que faltan ideas. Ideas y valentía. Pero ya que las marcas no saben hacer modelos con capacidad de seducción que recuperen, como ya ha hecho BMW con Mini, Fiat con su 500 y ahora Renault con su R5, las buenas ideas del pasado. Es una buena opción, ¿no os parece?

"Either you don't have a fiat currency or you don't have a democracy. But the two things together, and this has been proven, cannot coexist happily without the complete erosion of purchasing power of a civilization and the complete erosion of an empire - which is exactly what has occurred and what has occurred throughout history.The natural bedfellow for a fiat economy is a dictatorship.The natural bedfellow for bitcoin is democracy."~ Daniel BattenIn this episode I sat down with Daniel Batten, who discovered Bitcoin's environmental benefits before grasping its economic power, and his journey reveals something profound about the nature of fiat money itself. How did we become trapped in a desire-based economy that rewards consumption over saving? Daniel traces this back to the 1920s propaganda campaigns that transformed capitalism from meeting needs to manufacturing wants—and explains why Bitcoin might be the antidote to a century of psychological manipulation. But here's what really caught my attention: if the natural state of fiat is dictatorship, what does that mean for small nations trying to maintain sovereignty? From Bhutan's quiet accumulation of Bitcoin worth nearly half their GDP to Pakistan's strategic pivot away from IMF dependency, we're witnessing a fundamental shift in global power structures. Are we watching the end of financial colonialism? And could Bitcoin mining on landfills actually turn the waste of Western civilization into the foundation for sound money? This conversation will change how you think about money, consumption, and what it really means to fix the incentives. Check out our awesome sponsors!

Modern çağda egemenlik ne anlama geliyor? Dijital panoptikonun gölgesinde, haklarımız nasıl aşındırılıyor ve devletin 'istisna hali' ile nasıl sürekli bir savaşın parçası haline geliyoruz?Bugünün hukuku, yasallıktan ziyade otoriter gücün bir aracı olarak işliyor. Egemen, istediği herkesi 'acil durum' bahanesiyle yasa dışı ilan edebilir, kişisel hakları sürekli baltalayabilir. Devlet, 'barış' adı altında bile sürekli bir gözetim ve savaş hali sürdürüyor. Kimin 'dost', kimin 'düşman' olduğu devletin kararıyla belirleniyor ve bu kimliklendirme, hukukun ötesinde bir varoluş alanı yaratıyor. Herkes Homo Sacer, yani öldürülebilen ama kurban edilemeyen bir varlık haline gelebilir.Peki bu totaliter düzene karşı bir çıkış yolu var mı? Metin, kriptografiyi bir kurtuluş aracı olarak sunuyor. Kripto, bu 'herkesin herkese karşı savaşı'nda kendimizi korumamız için son bir güvence sağlıyor. Kriptografi, sadece matematik yasalarına tabi olarak çalışır, insanlara, kurumlara veya hükümetlere değil. Bu durum, dijital ifadelerin fiziksel olmayan bir ortamda matematiksel olarak var olmasından kaynaklanır ve bu alanda istisnaya yer bırakmaz.Egemenin gücünü fiziksel alandan çeken kriptografi, anonim bir dijital varoluş imkanı sunarak, devletin gözetim mekanizmasını etkisiz hale getiriyor. Bu, yeni bir 'ortak refah' ve dijital sosyal sözleşme vaat ediyor. Kripto, devletten bağımsız, özgür bir para ve yeni bir siyasi, sosyal ve ekonomik yaşam biçimi yaratma potansiyeli taşıyor. Bu, devletin gücünü zayıflatan ve insanlığın özgürlüğünü yeniden kazanmasını sağlayan bir son 'acil durum' olabilir.Fiat parayı ve devletin hukuku reddederek, hep birlikte yeni bir dünya inşa edebiliriz. Kriptografi, kişisel verilerimizi, servetimizi ve özgürlüğümüzü devletin müdahalesinden koruma imkanı sunuyor. Kripto, bize kendimize sahip olma gücünü iade ediyor ve modernitenin kamplarından kalıcı bir çıkış yolu sunuyor.Kaynak

Bu bölümde, dijital çağın en dönüştürücü kavramlarından biri olan **"Kriptoegemenlik"**i keşfediyoruz. Satoshi Nakamoto'nun merkezi ağlara karşı P2P ağlarının gücüne dair sözlerinden ilham alan bu eşsiz güç, Michel Foucault'nun egemenlik takıntısından uzaklaşma çağrısıyla da yankılanır. Kriptoegemenlik, siberpunk'ların kriptografi araçlarını askeri sırlardan kişisel özgürlük ve ekonomik serbestlik araçlarına dönüştürerek yarattığı, geleneksel siyasi güç, yasa ve şiddet sistemlerini reddeden bir yaklaşımdır.John Perry Barlow'un "Siberuzayın Bağımsızlık Bildirgesi"nde belirtildiği gibi, Kriptoegemenlik, hükümetlerin yetki alanının dışında, bireylerin ekonomik, sosyal ve siyasi haklarını ihlal edilemez bir dijital ortak zenginliğe aktarma yeteneğidir. Bu yeni paradigmada, "kodun kendisi egemendir, istisnası yoktur". Giorgio Agamben'in "tamamen farklı stratejiler" arayışına işaret ettiği gibi, Kriptoegemenlik, Hobbes'un "otorite yasayı yapar" düsturunu tersine çevirerek, "hakikatin meşruiyet sağladığı" yeni bir sosyal sözleşme kurar. Fiziksel gücü sözleşmesel uygulamadan çıkararak, blockchain sistemleri aracılığıyla benzersiz bir egemenlik biçimi yaratılır.Bu, yalnızca bir teknolojik gelişme değil, aynı zamanda siyasi bir praksistir. Walter Benjamin'in "içinde yaşadığımız acil durumun kural olduğunu" belirten düşüncelerine dayanarak, Kriptoegemenlik, küresel faşizm ve yolsuzlukla mücadelede ekonomik gücü temel bir araç olarak görür. Fiat para sistemine ve gözetim mekanizmalarına katılmayı reddederek, bireylerin kendi varlıkları ve gizlilikleri üzerindeki kontrolü geri alması, "gerçek bir olağanüstü hal" yaratır. Bu, devletin ve bankacılık müttefiklerinin "can damarlarını" kesen devrimci bir eylemdir.Kriptoegemenliğin hedefi, şiddet döngülerini tekrarlayan yeni bir egemenlik biçimi yaratmak değil, geleneksel güç yapılarını temelden dışarıda bırakarak günümüze daha uygun, daha iyi bir sistem inşa etmektir. Bu, bireyin seçimiyle egemen kararın alındığı, kriptografik kanıtlarla kendini güvence altına alan bir sistemdir. Gelin, kodun gücüyle şekillenen bu yeni dijital özgürlük çağını ve insanoğlunun yasayla çocukların eski oyuncaklarla oynaması gibi oynayacağı, onları kanonik kullanımlarından sonsuza dek özgürleştireceği geleceği keşfedelim.Kaynak

Reflecting on that time, I rediscovered the pure passion and exhilaration that drew me to radio in the first place. Amidst the chaos and challenges, we found endless moments of hilarity and camaraderie. Alongside Carl, Vic, and Sherrod Small, we shared unforgettable experiences both on and off the airwaves, our tight-knit bond shining through every episode. That year also marked Carl Ruiz's meteoric rise to stardom, inspiring me to launch the Opie Radio podcast with him. I'm immensely grateful to Erock, Clubsoda Kenny, Paul, and Louis for joining us on this wild ride. Get ready to dive into the rollercoaster of emotions—the highs, the lows, and the laugh-out-loud moments—that defined my last year in radio.

In this episode, Raoul Pal and Julien Bittel explain their “Everything Code” framework showing how global debt cycles, demographics, and liquidity drive all asset prices. They argue fiat debasement is running at ~8% annually, meaning only tech stocks and crypto have outperformed over time, while gold just preserves purchasing power. They discuss the societal and economic implications of AI replacing human labor, the end of traditional recessions, why liquidity will keep increasing to roll debts, and how this cycle could mirror or exceed 2017's asset booms.

Today we welcome Jason Teutsch, Chief Scientist and Founder of Truebit, a blockchain-based verification protocol that is making off-chain computation auditable and trustless. At the heart of Truebit is something called the verification game, a cryptoeconomic protocol that lets you compute off-chain and then prove that your computation was correct.This episode explores the power of onchain attestations, and how blockchain can help us rebuild trust in the digital age, whether that's verifying AI outputs, proving identity, or enabling decentralized infrastructure for climate data.In this episode you'll learn:
En este podcast contamos con la colaboración de Airbnb https://www.airbnb.es/. Te voy a contar algunas experiencias que he tenido disfrutando de sus servicios, que seguro te van a dar buenas ideas a la hora de viajar. Primero hicimos el podcast de “Coches que me asustaron”, luego una segunda entrega titulada “Coches que me decepcionaron” y ahora llega la tercera, consecuencia de las anteriores: Coches de los que esperaba poco... ¡y me sorprendieron! Claro está que para bien. Os traigo 10 casos en los que mis “tablas” de periodista no impidieron que los coches me sorprendiesen. Opel Kadett (1984). Este coche me sorprendió. El motor era una delicia, gastaba poco, no poco, ¡muy poco! Corría, era establa, cómodo y de una calidad para mi casi desconocida en un coche de esa categoría. En esos años Opel estaba muy fuerte... no como ahora. Citroën Visa GTi (1985). En esta lista hay 3 Citroën… curioso. El Visa era un coche que convencía, pero no enamoraba… no era esa su función. Pero no fue el caso del GTi. No sé si por la mayor ligereza del Visa, si por sus 30 mm extras de distancia entre ejes o por la puesta a punto, pero este Citroën no resultaba tan dulce como el 205, pero era en mi opinión más eficaz, mucho más barato y me sorprendió… Peugeot 205 GTX (1986). Ya había probado el 205 GTi de 105 CV y me había gustado mucho por su equilibrio entre prestaciones, confort y facilidad de conducción. Pero era un coche carísimo, mucho más que sus rivales. Cuando en 1986 pude probar el GTX con motor 1.6 de 96 CV, me pareció una opción más recomendable que el carísimo GTi con 9 CV más. La estética era muy parecida, el comportamiento similar y resultaba mucho, muchísimo más barato. Fiat Tipo (1988). El Tipo, venía a sustituir al Fiat Ritmo, un coche que conocía muy bien, tanto en versión Fiat como Seat, como Ritmo o como Ronda, prácticamente lo mismo. Un coche, el Ritmo, que no me entusiasmaba mucho si he de ser sincero. Y esperaba que el Tipo fuese mejor… pero no “tanto” mejor. Para comenzar al natural me pareció precioso el diseño conjunto entre I.DE.A Institute (Turín) y el Centro Stile Fiat bajo la dirección del diseñador Ercole Spada. BMW 318i (1989). Hablo de la generación E30. Había probado el 320i con motor 2 litros de 6 cilindros en línea y 125 CV. No era un motor con muchos bajos, pero era “finísimo” y subía de vueltas que daba gusto. También había probado el 318i con motor de 4 cilindros 1.8 y 110 CV. Más equilibrado, por peso, pero de escasa potencia par ser un BMW. Y de repente BMW anuncia si 318is, con el motor de 318, pero con culata de 16 válvulas y 136 CV. R19 16v Cabrio (1991). El R19 ni siquiera en sus versiones más deportivas, era un coche que despertase pasiones por su estética. Y pensé: Pues si a un R19 16v le quitamos el techo y el coche es menos rígido… pues, pero para todo. Fiat Coupé (1993). Este modelo en 1996 llegó a montar el maravilloso motor de 5 cilindros con 20 válvulas y turbo que desarrollaba 220 CV. Pero el que yo probé llevaba el motor del Integrale, pero “rebajado” a 185 CV. El bastidor de este coche, muy afinado, guardaba un “as” en su manga: El uso de autoblocante Fergusson. Audi A3 (1996). Recuerdo que era director de una revista mensual y en el último momento nos llegó la info del Audi A3. Escribí yo mismo, con prisas, el reportaje hecho con fotos e información oficiales y cambiamos la portada poniendo una buena foto de A3 y el titular de “El Golf de Audi” que es la conclusión que saqué leyendo el dossier oficial de la marca. Periodísticamente fue un acierto porque la revista se vendió bien. Pero cuando por fin pude probar el A3 me di cuenta de mi error: Citroën Berlingo (1996). La propuesta de Citroën con el Berlingo parecía muy sensata: Diseñar un coche desde cero pensado en hacer una pequeña furgoneta. Llegó a la redacción y me la llevé esa tarde… después de tres semáforos y apena un kilómetro me enamoré de la Berlingo. Citroën Xsara Picasso (2000). Lo del nombre Picasso, que por cierto no fue nada fácil, me parecía. Pero un nombre bonito no hace mejor a un coche. Pero una vez que lo probe… ¡me pareció genial! De repente la mecánica y bastidas del sencillo Xsara lucia más, la visibilidad era magnifica, el coche amplio y práctico, y además de confortable tenía una estabilidad a prueba de bombas…
The fiat system is dying—and the smart money knows it. Billionaires, bankers, and Bitcoin treasury companies are buying hundreds of thousands of BTC each month. Why? Because they see the writing on the wall. Fiat currencies—propped up by debt, fake growth, and endless money printing—are collapsing in real time. Dante Coke breaks it all down: from hedge funds like Kalamos recommending a 10% Bitcoin allocation, to MicroStrategy raising billions more to stack sats. Even legacy voices like Bill Miller, Elon Musk, and Warren Buffett are calling out the obvious—fiat is finished. The new "big, beautiful bill" is a lie: more spending, more debt, more grift. And the only real hedge left? Bitcoin. It's scarce, incorruptible, and unstoppable. As Dante says: “Nothing stops this train.” If you're not stacking, you're slipping. Fix the money, fix the world. This is the revolution.SPONSORS✅ Lednhttps://learn.ledn.io/simplySimply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

Get ready to dive into the rollercoaster of emotions—the highs, the lows, and the laugh-out-loud moments—that defined my last year in radio.
No hay duda: El Renault 5 es un mito. Y a ello ha colaborado su estética muy innovadora en su momento, su fiabilidad, su confort… y sus éxitos en competición. En particular en los rallyes, donde sus modelos de dos ruedas delanteras motrices ya destacaron, pero con la llegada del Turbo, llegaron victorias y títulos. #coches #renault #motorsport Renault, en mi opinión, ha hecho bien dos cosas, con el R5 y en general. Apostar por la competición para mejorar sus productos y su imagen. Y elegir pilotos no solo muy competentes, sino, además, muy carismáticos. Es este caso hay que destacar a Bruno Saby, Guy Fréquelin, especialmente al malabarista Jean Ragnotti, y a nuestro Carlos Sainz. Todos ellos brillaron a los mandos de diversos R5. Antes de entrar a hablar del “curriculum” del R5 en los rallyes, ya sabéis que Renault ha reeditado este modelo en versión eléctrica… os adelanto que lo probaremos a fondo durante un mes y os contaremos nuestras sensaciones y conclusiones. Conviértete en miembro de este canal para disfrutar de ventajas: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBG3pvXhocK7_GjeIx2sUeg/join El R5 aparece en 1972 y se puede decir que su éxito es inmediato. En Francia se puede decir que arrollador, pues entre 1974 y 1983 fue el coche más vendido… increíble. A pesar de la modestia de su mecánica inicial, a pesar de no ser en realidad más que un R-4 con una bonita carrocería obra de Michel Boué, desde siempre el R5 quiso tener una cierta vocación deportiva. No olvidemos que en esos años Renault a finales de los 70, Renault vence en Le Mans, lo hemos contado recientemente en el video titulado “Renault gana a Porsche … y tu coche lleva turbo”, y apostaba por la F1… Pero tanto los prototipos de Le Mans como la F1 se disputan con coches cuya estética queda lejos de los coches de calles que el cliente puede comprar. En cambio, en los Rallyes se corre con coches que los espectadores pueden identificar con el suyo o que el que pueden comprar… Y Renault decide competir también en rallyes. En 1977 participan en el San Remo con el R5 Alpine, aún sin turbo, donde obtienen un prometedor séptimo puesto… y deciden acudir la primer rallyes de 1978: El Montecarlo. En esa edición del rallye de Montecarlo el equipo Fiat y Lancia presentaba una armada potentísima. Frente a toda esa escuadra italiana se oponía el Porche 911 de Jean-Pierre Nicolás, que era del equipo privado de los hermanos Almeras y los dos Renault 5 oficiales, de apenas unos 130 CV, pilotados por Guy Fréquelin y Jean Ragnotti. Esperaba un duelo entre Fiat y Lancia cuando de repente que encontré con un amigo mío que no sé cómo se había enterado y me dijo: Los R5 van segundo y tercero en el Montecarlo… honestamente no me lo creí. ¡Bendita nieve! Porque ese año nevó mucho en Montecarlo y sobre la nieve a los Fiat 131 les faltaba motricidad, ya sabéis motor delantero y propulsión trasera, y a los Lancia Stratos les sobraban caballos y “mal carácter” … conducir un Stratos sobre la nieve debe ser algo mucho más que complicado. Por fin, en 1981, con el implacable Jean Ragnotti a sus mandos, el R5, en su variante Turbo de motor central, consigue su primera victoria.A pesar del Grupo B, a pesar del Audi Quattro, a pesar de toda una oleada de modelos del Grupo B, sobre todo el Peugeot 205 Turo 16, la mayoría con tracción total, el R5 consigue en su terreno predilecto, el asfalto del Tour de Corse, y con su piloto predilecto, Jean Ragnotti, vencer las ediciones de 1982 y de 1985. Se suele olvidar que la última victoria del R5 en el Mundial de rallyes no fue en el Tour de Corse, sino en la edición de 1986 del Rallye de Portugal… fatídica edición. El piloto portugués Joaquim Santos se salió del tramo con su Ford RS200 arrollando a una multitud de espectadores con un terrible resultado: Tres fallecidos. La retirada de muchos equipos, en señal de duelo, propicio la victoria de otro piloto portugués, Joaquim Moutinho al volante de un R5 Turbo privado.
Bitcoin sadece teknoloji mi? Sağlanan metne göre cevap hayır: Bitcoin tamamen memelerden ibarettir. Meme, bir kültür birimi olarak tanımlanır; tıpkı biyolojik genler gibi nesilden nesile, akıldan akıla aktarılan fikirler, kültürel pratiklerdir. Bu memeler, hayatta kalmak ve yayılmak için çevrelerine uyum sağlamak zorundadır.Bitcoin, dijital bir organizma gibi düşünülebilir; hayatta kalmak için insanlığa ödeme yapar. Ağ, her 10 dakikada bir kendini yeniler ve bilgi bloklarını iletir. Bu bilgi, Bitcoin kültürünün özünü taşır ve tekrarlanan eylemlerle yayılır. Ekosistem perspektifinden bakıldığında, biz Bitcoin ile, o da bizimle etkileşim içindedir.Metne göre, Bitcoin'in özü insanlardır. Yazılım olsa da, insanlar onu çalıştırır ve daha da önemlisi, Bitcoin'in ne olduğuna kendileri karar verir. Merkezi bir otorite yoktur, bu yüzden konsensüs farklı bakış açılarının örtüşmesiyle ortaya çıkar. Bu sürekli bir süreçtir; Bitcoin'in sadece ne olduğu değil, ne olabileceği ve ne olması gerektiği üzerine bir tartışmadır.Mesele "Bitcoin mi, Fiat mı" meselesidir. Sağlanan metin, yaşadığımız kaosun ana nedenini fiat paranın ortaya çıkışında görüyor. Fiat para memesi —temel paranın doğasının önemsiz olduğu, sonsuz borçlanabileceğimiz fikri— gerçeklikten tamamen kopuk, yapay bir ekonomik işletim sistemidir. Para basmak, metne göre, servetin yeniden dağılımıdır, dolaylı yoldan hırsızlıktır. Fiat sistemi bir kölelik sistemidir.İşte iyi haber: Bitcoin bunu düzeltir. Bitcoin'in temelinde bir etik yatar: "Çalmayacaksın." Ve bir sayı: "21 milyon". Bitcoin'in etiği (sabit arz, zorla yeniden dağıtım yok) fiat paranın etiğiyle (sonsuz arz, merkezi planlama, kayırmacılık) keskin bir zıtlık içindedir.Fiat sisteminin kuralları belirsiz ve değişkendir, bu da depresyon, umutsuzluk ve nihilizmle dolu bir kültüre yol açar. Fiat benliği, anlık tatmine, kısa vadeli düşünmeye odaklıdır.Buna karşılık, Bitcoin umuttur. Kuralları bilinen, istikrarlı bir sistem sunar. Fiat sistemine bir panzehirdir. Bitcoin'i benimsemek, metne göre, kişisel bir dönüşümdür. Fiat benliğinizi geride bırakıp Bitcoin benliğini inşa etme sürecidir. Bu, kendi anahtarlarınıza sahip olmak, kendi nodunuzu çalıştırmak ve sorumluluk almayı gerektirir.Metin, önümüzde bir yol ayrımı olduğunu belirtiyor: "Hiçbir şeye sahip olmayacaksın ve mutlu olacaksın" diyen fiat yolu ya da "Bitcoin'e sahip olacaksın ve kendinin en iyi versiyonu olacaksın" diyen Bitcoin yolu. Bitcoin yolu zorlu olabilir ama anlamlı, sabır, sorumluluk ve disiplin öğreten bir yoldur. Fiat ve Bitcoin arasındaki çizgi herkesin kalbinden geçer; bu, fiat benliğimizle Bitcoin benliğimiz arasındaki bir savaştır. Seçim sizindir.Kaynak

This amazing, important and prophetic Dreamland featuring the great Jim Marrs (1943-2017) originally ran on September 4, 2010. For July 4, 2025 we reprise it with a commentary from Whitley Strieber that brings it frighteningly up to date. In 2010, Jim published a devastating book called The Trillion Dollar Conspiracy, and you will never forget the information you will get from this fiery, impassioned interview about it. Listen as Jim lays it out: there are no real political parties. It's all an illusion. And worse, the people waiting in the wings to replace the incumbents are at least as bad and probably worse. Why? The reason is simple: as Jim points out, Prince Philip, one of the leaders of the global establishment said, if he could be reincarnated after he died, he would want to come back as a deadly virus that would solve the population problem. And who is that problem? Not the folks in the limousines, you can be sure. YOU are the problem, and you need to take action to save yourselves and your children. Listen and find out not only what's wrong, but what we can do to save ourselves from an elite that is out of touch, out of control and, frankly, just plain out to lunch. Jim's website is JimMarrs.com.

In this explosive episode of Bitcoin Backstage, Trace Mayer—early Bitcoin investor, creator of Proof of Keys, and one of the earliest Bitcoin bloggers—returns to the spotlight to dissect the past, present, and future of Bitcoin. Interviewed live at the Bitcoin Conference by Isabella Santos, Mayer drops hard truths about central banking, strategic reserves, proof of keys, and the global monetary shift already underway.From dissecting the fractional reserve system to revealing what really happened during the Blocksize Wars, Mayer also explains why Bitcoin is outperforming gold, how the U.S. might use BTC as a reserve asset, and what's holding back its evolution as a medium of exchange. This is Bitcoin history, macro insight, and monetary rebellion all in one.

Bitcoin... Bir düzine insana sorun, iki düzine farklı cevap alın. Basit ve karmaşık, müsrif ve verimli, yavaş ama aynı zamanda var olabilecek en hızlı para. Dijital ama kıt? Değişebilir ama değiştirilemez? Anonim ama şeffaf? Bitcoin tüm zıtlıkları birleştiriyor. Peki gerçekten nedir? Belki de sonsuz soru 'Bitcoin nedir?', 'Senin için Bitcoin nedir?' sorusuna dönüşmeli, çünkü onun dünyasında otorite yok.Bitcoin bilginin ta kendisi. 12 kelimeniz - özel anahtarınız - ve halka açık defterin birleşimiyle değer kazanır. Bu sadece bilgi değil, kontrol. Değer, fikir birliğinden ve benzersizlikten gelir. Şansla başlayan, matematikle şekillenen, zamanın belirlediği bir para politikası. Dinamik yapısı, ağın kendisini ayarlamasını sağlar.Bu sadece teknoloji değil, aynı zamanda etik bir kod barındırır: Sahtecilik yapmayacaksın, enflasyona yol açmayacaksın, el koymayacaksın. Çalmayacaksın. Bu ahlaki kod, bilgisayar koduna, oradan da yasaya dönüşür. Bitcoin özgürlüktür, gerçektir ve akıldır. Gönüllü bir sistemdir.Mevcut sistemin (Fiat) yol açtığı sansür, kölelik ve tiranlığın aksine, Bitcoin adalettir, ölçüttür. Fiat para, zaman hırsızlarının işidir; enflasyon ve merkez bankaları tarafından çalınan zamanı geri getiren Momo'dur. Bitcoin, Fiat aşamasını sonlandırıp kökenlere dönüşü temsil eder. İstikrarlı, basit, makul olduğu için kalıcıdır. Bitcoin bir kurtarma botudur.Kaynak

"Kripto" çılgınlığında kaybolmuş veya "fiat" dünyasının güvenilirliğini sorguluyor musunuz? Bu bölüm, kafa karışıklığını gidermek için net bir duruş sergiliyor: Bitcoin, blockchain, DeFi, Web3, CBDC'ler veya getiri peşinde koşulan diğer tüm "kripto" projeleri değildir. Bitcoin'in ne olduğunu, neden diğer her şeyden kökten farklı olduğunu ve neden "fiat gazeteciler" veya "dolandırıcılar" tarafından yanıltılmış olabileceğinizi derinlemesine inceliyoruz.Birçok kişi, merkezi borsalarda veya "kağıt bitcoin"de tuttuğu ve güvendiği varlıkları kaybetti. Bu kayıplar, Bitcoin ağının kendisini asla etkilemedi. Çünkü Bitcoin, emanet etmediğiniz sürece güven gerektirmez. Matematik ve fizik yasalarına dayanır, sansüre ve müsadereye dirençlidir. Kimsenin kontrolünde değildir, bir doğa kuvveti gibidir ve kesintisiz olarak 10 dakikada bir yeni bir blok üretir.Bitcoin ölü değil, eski teknoloji değil. Fiat para birimlerinin aksine mutlak kıttır ve "para basarak" değeri düşürülemez. Fiyatındaki dalgalanmalar, Bitcoin'in kendisinin değil, insan psikolojisinin ve piyasanın volatilitesidir. Bitcoin'in özünde yatan şey derin sistemik istikrardır. Önemli olan USD fiyatı değil, ağın çalışması ve varlığın değişmeyen özellikleridir."Yield" veya getiri aramak, hala "fiat merceğinden" dünyaya baktığınızın bir işaretidir. Gerçek soru şudur: "Projeniz neden kendi parasına ihtiyaç duyuyor ve o getiri nereden geliyor?"Geç kaldığınızı düşünmeyin. Bitcoin, bir yatırım aracı olmanın ötesinde, servetinizi zaman ve mekan boyunca taşımanızı sağlayan devrimci bir teknolojidir. Bir çıkıştır, yan yol değil.Merkezi platformların ve vaatlerin tehlikelerinden kaçının. Kendi anahtarlarınızı tutun! Sorumluluk alın, "fiat zihniyetinden" kurtulun ve servetinizi satoshi (sats) olarak ölçmeye başlayın. Bitcoin kimseyi beklemez, ama anlamak ve kendi kontrolünüzü ele almak için asla geç değildir.Bu bölümü dinleyerek, Bitcoin'in neden "sinyal", diğer her şeyin ise "gürültü" olduğunu keşfedin ve gerçek parayı anlama yolculuğunda ilk adımı atın.Kaynak

"Sweet and fast" is a good way to describe the character of many classic Italian cars. Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Lancia, Ferrari, Maserati and other auto makers created enduring machines infused with the national culture. In this episode we explore what makes them so special: things like design philosophy, emphasis on beautiful shapes, and performance-oriented engineering.

A crypto enthusiast once wrote on Reddit, “Bitcoin is like winning the lottery in slow motion.” That might be a stretch, but one thing's clear: Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies aren't going anywhere. Today, Mark Biller joins us to unpack how crypto is moving into the mainstream and what that means for investors trying to make wise decisions.Mark Biller is Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Investing, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.Two Big Takeaways for Crypto InvestorsHere are two key insights to help investors make sense of today's crypto market:Bitcoin Stands Apart – It's critical to understand that Bitcoin is not like the rest of the crypto world. It has emerged as a unique and dominant force, with widespread adoption, while other cryptocurrencies remain highly speculative. Bitcoin Has Reached Critical Mass – Thanks to regulatory shifts and institutional adoption, Bitcoin seems to be here to stay. In just a few years, we've gone from government hostility toward crypto to SEC-approved Bitcoin ETFs and even a pro-crypto administration in the White House.Bitcoin was the original cryptocurrency, launched in 2008, and today it represents about 60% of the entire crypto market. It's gained institutional interest and widespread regulatory acceptance. By contrast, the remaining 40% of the crypto universe is fragmented, filled with thousands of projects, many of which will not survive.Think of most other cryptos not as currencies but as startup tech ventures. That helps frame their high risk and their potential for failure. Bitcoin, meanwhile, has arrived. The rest? They're still trying to prove themselves.Bitcoin as an Investment: What's Changed?Many early Bitcoin advocates hoped it would serve as a usable currency outside of traditional financial systems. But that vision has mostly faded. Today, most investors treat Bitcoin like digital gold—a store of value designed to hedge against inflation and the devaluation of fiat currencies.It's volatile, yes. But its built-in scarcity (only 21 million bitcoins will ever exist) appeals to those who fear government overreach or reckless monetary policy. Bitcoin's not just for tech enthusiasts anymore—it's becoming a strategic asset for serious investors.Generational preferences also shape Bitcoin's rise. Younger investors, raised in a digital world of apps and virtual marketplaces, are far more comfortable with digital assets. What gold has long been to older generations, Bitcoin is becoming to younger ones: a hedge against inflation and a symbol of financial independence.In fact, Bitcoin's correlation with gold has grown significantly in recent years, signaling that institutions are viewing it in similar terms.Institutions and Even Nations Are Paying AttentionIt's not just individuals diving into Bitcoin. Global events—especially the 2022 freezing of Russian reserve assets—have prompted many nations to reassess their reliance on U.S. Treasury bonds. The result? A surge in gold buying by central banks, and increasing openness to alternatives like Bitcoin among private investors.While governments aren't yet buying Bitcoin, there's reasonable evidence to suggest that gold investors are starting to “skate to where the puck is going,” diversifying small portions of their portfolios into Bitcoin as a forward-looking strategy.With that being said, should we be concerned about the global shift away from U.S. treasuries?Not immediately. While a shift away from U.S. Treasuries could eventually raise interest rates and borrowing costs, the dollar still holds dominant status in global transactions. But it's a trend worth watching. It's a slow-motion problem—more of a simmer than a flashpoint.So…Should You Invest in Bitcoin?It depends. Investors with a strong risk tolerance and a positive outlook on gold might allocate a small portion (less than 5%) of their portfolio to Bitcoin or Bitcoin ETF's. The key is position sizing—keeping it small due to Bitcoin's extreme volatility.However, we want to be crystal clear: this only applies to Bitcoin, not to the rest of the crypto space, which still carries a high risk of going to zero.If you're curious to explore more, check out the full article, Bitcoin (& Crypto) Go Mainstream: What You Need To Know, at SoundMindInvesting.org. The SMI team also offers a Bitcoin-inclusive ETF for those looking to dip a toe into this asset class as part of a broader, biblically informed strategy.At the end of the day, financial stewardship isn't about chasing trends—it's about making wise, measured decisions rooted in truth. And with the right knowledge, even complex topics like crypto can be approached with confidence.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I currently have about $1 million in an active 401(k) with a major financial institution. I'd like to transfer those existing funds to another custodian, where I can earn a guaranteed interest rate. However, I also want to continue contributing to my current 401(k) through my employer, taking on more investment risk with those new contributions. Is that possible?My husband and I live with my father-in-law, and the house needs some repairs. He's offered to loan us the money from his retirement account to cover the costs, but he's asking us to help pay the taxes he would owe on the distribution.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1077: Today we're talking about Stellantis' cautious leadership shuffle, Tesla's Robotaxi rollout with safety monitors in the passenger seat, and how AI is quietly shaping the way we talk—even if we don't realize it.Antonio Filosa officially begins his tenure as Stellantis CEO, opting for continuity over disruption by retaining his North America role and promoting from within—a move that left investors wanting more.Filosa will remain based in Detroit and continue overseeing North America to stabilize performance in Stellantis' most troubled region.He trimmed direct reports to 16, down from 33 under Tavares, signaling a leaner leadership model.Key appointments include Scott Thiele as head of supply chain and Monica Genovese as head of purchasing, while all 14 brand chiefs—including Jeep, Fiat, and Maserati—stay in place.Stellantis shares are down 10% since his May appointment.Jefferies analysts dryly noted the split role “suggests that revamping Stellantis may not be a full-time job.”Tesla has officially launched its Robotaxi pilot in Austin, offering driverless rides to a select group of superfans. While early impressions are mostly positive, the rollout wasn't without its quirks—or a couple concerning errors.Service is live in a ~30-square-mile geofenced area of South Austin with limited weather, time, and destination constraints.There's a human “safety monitor” in the passenger seat with emergency controls—and remote teleoperators on standby.Notable fails include one vehicle veering into an oncoming lane mid-turn and another stopping mid-intersection to let out a passenger.Riders must use a separate “Robotaxi” app, distributed via Apple's TestFlight, but noted seamless syncing of personal Tesla profiles (like music) and a smooth ride experience on par with, or better than, current FSD builds.Content creator Chuck Cook praised the performance: “Quite advanced behavior… a more confident parking job than I've personally encountered in a Waymo.”As AI tools like ChatGPT increasingly shape our digital interactions, researchers are now tracking how those patterns are bleeding into how we actually talk with some surprising, and maybe unsettling, results.In academic YouTube videos, usage of words like “delve” and “adept” has jumped over 50% since ChatGPT's release.Spoken language is becoming more structured and emotionally muted—mirroring AI's formal tone.Researchers warn this shift erodes the authentic signals we use in speech, like stumbles and slang, which build human connection.The influence of “correct” AI-generated English is crowding out regional dialects, affecting who sounds credible in public discourse.“Delve is only the tip of the iceberg,” says Max Planck reseaJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
