Yuki asked softly.Ja: その質問に春は、一瞬黙りました。En: Haru fell silent for a moment at the question.Ja: 「優しくて、強い人だったよ。家族をすごく大事にしてた。」En: "They were kind and strong people. They valued family greatly."Ja: 「それが、今の僕たちにどう関係あるの？」ユキの声に、少し不満が混じっていました。En: "What does that have to do with us now?" Yuki's voice had a hint of dissatisfaction.Ja: 「ユキ…、君がそんな風に感じるのは、分かるよ。En: "Yuki... I understand why you feel that way.Ja: ただ、僕たちがこうしてここにいるのも…、彼らのおかげだと思うんだ。」春は、声に力を込めました。En: But I believe that the reason we're here today... is thanks to them," Haru said with conviction.Ja: ユキは、しばらく何も言わずに石碑を見つめていました。En: Yuki remained silent as he gazed at the gravestone.Ja: そして、ぽつりと呟きました。「僕は、兄さんが理解してくれないと思ってた。En: Then he murmured, "I thought my big brother wouldn't understand.Ja: でも、少しだけ変わったかな。」En: But maybe things have changed a bit."Ja: それから三人は、しばらくの間じっと雪の降る静かな墓地に立っていました。En: For a while, the three of them stood quietly in the snow-covered cemetery.Ja: 家族の誰もが、そこに何かを見つけていたようです。En: It seemed that each family member found something there.Ja: その後の大晦日、家に帰った彼らは、いつもとは少し違う過ごし方をしました。今度は、もっとお互いを理解するために。En: Later that Omisoka, when they returned home, they spent the day in a slightly different way than usual, now aiming to understand each other more.Ja: 春は悟りました。大事なのは、家族をつなぐことと、共にいること。En: Haru realized what was important was connecting with family and being together.Ja: そして、ユキも、少し安心した表情を見せました。En: Yuki also showed a slightly more reassured expression.Ja: この冬の日、家族は新しい一歩を踏み出したのです。En: On this winter day, the family took a new step forward.

This way, everyone should finally get the perfect gift."Ja: みんなそのアイデアに賛成し、それぞれのプレゼントを何度も交換し合いました。En: Everyone agreed with the idea, and they exchanged each gift multiple times.Ja: 笑い声がキャビン中に響きました。ジョークを交えて、時には冗談を言い合いながら楽しみました。En: Laughter echoed throughout the cabin as they enjoyed themselves, occasionally cracking jokes with each other.Ja: 結果として、アートセットはミユキの手に、高級な手帳はハルトに、ジョークの本はサトシのものになりました。En: As a result, the art set ended up with Miyuki, the luxury planner with Haruto, and the book of jokes with Satoshi.Ja: 結局、みんなが自然な形でぴったりのプレゼントを手に入れたのです。En: In the end, everyone naturally received the perfect gift.Ja: そして三人は、物よりもこの楽しい一時が何よりも大切なことに気づきました。En: And the three of them realized that this joyful moment was more important than any item.Ja: 「完璧じゃなくても、こうやって笑えることが一番だね」とハルトは笑いながら言いました。En: "Even if it's not perfect, being able to laugh like this is the best," Haruto said with a laugh.Ja: 雪がキャビンの窓を叩く音を聞きながら、彼らは大切な友情の絆を再確認し、心温まるクリスマスの夜を過ごしました。En: As they listened to the sound of snow tapping against the cabin window, they reaffirmed their precious bonds of friendship and spent a heartwarming Christmas night.

"If you can get a court to say you're Satoshi, and you are of this mindset, you can then go ahead and you can sue Bitcoin developers, Bitcoin exchanges, whatever, to say, "look, I've got a court ruling that I'm Satoshi. Your version of Bitcoin is not the real Bitcoin. I'm Satoshi. My version of Bitcoin", which in Craig's world as BSV, is the real Bitcoin. So you need to either pay damages or license from me, etc. So the whole point was to get a court to rule he was Satoshi, which would give him the foundation to file these lawsuits that he did at the same time anyway. But that was the whole point was to get that first one through the door, get a court to say he's Satoshi, give him massive backing when he tries to take on the institutions to try and get the billions from them. Because again, just like with the ATO, it's a shortcut to riches."~ Mark Hunter What happens when an elaborate con becomes one of Bitcoin's strangest sagas? In this episode, I sit down with Mark Hunter (Dr. Bitcoin) and Arthur Van Pelt—the duo behind the “FakeToshi” chronicle—to dig into the unbelievable story of Craig Wright, Calvin Ayre, and the tangled web of fake lawsuits, forged evidence, and tax scams that have haunted Bitcoin for nearly a decade. We unpack the origins of the infamous “Satoshi” claims, how two researchers uncovered endless contradictions, and why the trail now stretches from Australian tax authorities all the way to Europe's Wirecard scandal. How did one man's pursuit of prestige and power turn into an ongoing courtroom drama—and why does anyone still believe him? It's a fascinating blend of true crime, bitcoin history, and a cautionary tale about hubris in the digital age. ***Audiobook Giveaway deadline extended*** The entry deadline has been extended to Thursday 4th Dec so everyone has a fair chance to participate.

We often spent time here as a family," she said softly, a hint of sadness in her voice.Ja: "そうだね"とはるは元気よく答えます。En: "That's right," Haru answered cheerfully.Ja: "あの時の思い出が、今も心に残っているよ。"En: "The memories from those times still remain in my heart."Ja: 時間が経つにつれて、会話は次第に両親の思い出へと移っていきました。En: As time passed, their conversation gradually shifted to memories of their parents.Ja: 兄弟たちは、各々の胸の内を話し始めます。En: The siblings started to share their inner feelings.Ja: さとしは、兄としてすべてを抱え込もうとしていた思いを吐き出します。En: Satoshi, who as the older brother had been trying to bear it all alone, finally expressed his thoughts.Ja: "僕だけじゃなくて、みんなで支え合おう"と彼はようやく言います。En: "Let's support each other, not just me," he finally said.Ja: れいなも、自分の悲しみと向き合って、素直な気持ちを打ち明けます。En: Reina also faced her sadness and shared her honest feelings.Ja: "絵を描くことでしか、自分の感情を表せなかった。"En: "It was only through drawing that I could express my emotions."Ja: そして、はるはいつものように明るく"これからは、一緒にもっと楽しい思い出を作ろう！"と声を上げます。En: Then, as usual, Haru brightly said, "Let's create more fun memories together from now on!"Ja: その言葉に励まされ、三人は笑顔になりました。En: Encouraged by those words, the three of them smiled.Ja: その時、三人の心には温かいものが流れました。En: At that moment, something warm flowed in their hearts.Ja: 彼らはしっかりと抱き合い、新たな絆を確かめました。En: They embraced tightly, confirming a new bond.Ja: 秋風は柔らかく吹き、葉が舞い落ちる中、三人はその温かな時間を穏やかに過ごしました。En: The autumn breeze blew gently, and as the leaves danced down, the three of them spent that warm time peacefully.Ja: こうして、さとしは、自分一人で背負わなくても良いこと、家族の力を信じられることを学びました。En: In this way, Satoshi learned that he didn't have to shoulder everything alone and that he could trust in the strength of family.Ja: れいなと共に、新たなスタートを切る決意を固めます。En: He resolved to make a new start together with Reina.Ja: はるの明るさに支えられ、三人は新たな一歩を踏み出しました。En: Supported by Haru's brightness, the three of them took a new step forward.

Z Grzegorzem sieciach P2P, internecie oczami pokolenia Play Station oraz pomidorowych node'ach.W tym odcinku projektu Bujać siadamy na wiejskiej ławeczce pod orzechem i bez napinki rozmawiamy o wolności, lokalnych społecznościach i Bitcoinie – od filozofii P2P, przez węzły (nody) i mining na prąd ze słońca, po praktyczne bezpieczeństwo kluczy (m.in. seed XOR). Z podwarszawskiego ogrodu płynnie skręcamy w historię regionu (Sulejówek, poligon Piłsudskiego, bunkry w lasach, tradycja oporu), kulturę off‑grid i odpowiedzialność za własne słowa oraz energię. Mówimy o sensie prowadzenia własnego węzła (Bitcoin Knots vs. Core, filtry antyspamu, IBD), suwerenności energetycznej, edukacji zamiast pielgrzymek do „autorytetów”, a także o różnicy między Bitcoinem a „krypto”. Padają konkretne tipy: jak bezpieczniej robić kopie seedów, dlaczego warto wyjść z telewizora do realnej wspólnoty i czemu Bitcoin to pieniądz wolnych ludzi, bez pośredników, z ograniczoną podażą – egzekwowaną przez użytkowników.To swobodna, długa rozmowa – o tym, jak nie oddawać steru nad życiem instytucjom, jak budować lokalne kontrakty „na ławeczce”, jak używać energii (i ognia!) na własnych zasadach oraz jak przygotować się mentalnie i technicznie do świata, w którym wolność wymaga stałej, codziennej praktyki.

 Today's episode seems like it would be skippable except for the last five minutes where plot comes barreling in like Ash's herd of Tauros. There's a double battle, some skill polishing before the gym in moss deep, team rocket shenanigans, a long diatribe about how invested was Pikachu in this whole Pokemon Journey thing and then the Twerps go blasting off and we have a rare cliffhanger! It's an episode full of twists and turns, but you won't wanna miss it! Click here to listen!

The Chopping Block unpacks crypto's DATpocalypse — NAVs collapsing, volumes drying up, and consolidation on the horizon. Plus: Vitalik sparks a wave of quantum panic, what Q-Day really means for Bitcoin and smart-contract chains, and why “qubits per share” might become the next great crypto meme. Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This episode opens with the DATpocalypse: almost every DAT is now below NAV, volumes have collapsed outside Bitmine and MicroStrategy, and the market is finally confronting what happens when issuances outrun demand. We get into consolidation talk, preferred-share experiments, capital-structure pivots, and whether any DAT should actually be selling crypto to buy back shares at a discount. Then we shift into quantum mania. Vitalik's “2028” comment lit up Q-Day fears, and we separate genuine hardware progress from pure panic. We discuss why post-quantum upgrades are simple for Bitcoin but brutal for stateful chains, and how hype alone could trigger a wave of “quantum-resistant” speculation. And yes — the running gag: DATs using quantum machines to steal Satoshi's coins. Tough markets, weird narratives, and institutions quietly holding the line. Let's get into it. Show highlights

Matt and Nic are back for another week of news and deals. In this episode:  Is Quantum FUD causing Bitcoin to sell off? Ray Dalio is worry about Quantum Scott Aaronson is worried about quantum computing Vitalik is worried about quantum Quantum upgrade scenarios Are we still suffering from the flash crash? The DATs are selling DAT spot arbitrage Will the US government end up with the Satoshi coins Should the government bail out AI? Will NFTs come back?

In this interview with Viva Frei I talk about my path from freedom activism to Bitcoin. I was born in Israel in 1980 to a family of Holocaust survivors and builders of the early state. During COVID I watched Israel impose coercive measures like the Green Pass and saw a sign that said “Reserved for vaccinated only.” It reminded me of my grandfather's stories from pre-war Europe and pushed me to protest. That experience made me study freedom more deeply, especially in money. I learned how fiat, inflation and fractional-reserve banking rob people, then discovered Bitcoin as sound money with fixed supply and no central control. I explain how it differs from crypto and from CBDCs, and why self-custody is the foundation of sovereignty. For me Bitcoin is not just money, it is a stand for human freedom.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

Le créateur du Bitcoin reste l'un des plus grands mystères de l'ère numérique. Derrière le pseudonyme Satoshi Nakamoto se cache un individu — ou peut-être un groupe — qui, en 2008, a révolutionné la finance mondiale sans jamais révéler sa véritable identité.Tout commence le 31 octobre 2008, lorsqu'un document de neuf pages, un white paper intitulé Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System, est publié sur une liste de diffusion cryptographique. Satoshi y décrit une idée radicale : un système de monnaie électronique décentralisé, sans banque ni autorité centrale, reposant sur un registre public sécurisé par la cryptographie — la blockchain. Quelques mois plus tard, en janvier 2009, il met le concept en pratique en lançant le premier logiciel Bitcoin et en minant le tout premier bloc, connu sous le nom de genesis block.Satoshi laisse dans ce bloc un message resté célèbre : “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks” — un clin d'œil à la crise financière et une critique implicite du système bancaire. Bitcoin naît donc comme un acte de défiance envers les institutions financières traditionnelles.Pendant environ deux ans, Satoshi échange sur des forums avec d'autres passionnés de cryptographie, corrige des bugs, améliore le protocole et explique sa vision d'une monnaie libre et incorruptible. Puis, en avril 2011, il disparaît soudainement, cessant toute communication. Son dernier message évoque simplement son souhait de “passer à autre chose”. Depuis, plus aucune trace.Qui est-il ? Les théories abondent. Certains pensent à un cryptographe solitaire (comme Hal Finney, premier utilisateur de Bitcoin), d'autres à un collectif d'informaticiens. Des noms célèbres ont été avancés : le mathématicien Nick Szabo, le programmeur australien Craig Wright (qui prétend être Satoshi, sans preuve concluante), ou encore des chercheurs du MIT. Mais aucun n'a pu être formellement identifié.Satoshi posséderait environ 1 million de bitcoins, soit plusieurs dizaines de milliards de dollars — jamais dépensés à ce jour. Ce silence alimente la légende : un créateur anonyme, riche au-delà de toute mesure, mais resté invisible, presque éthique dans son retrait.Aujourd'hui, le mystère de Satoshi Nakamoto est devenu partie intégrante du mythe fondateur du Bitcoin. Son invention a bouleversé l'économie mondiale, inspiré des milliers de cryptomonnaies et ouvert la voie à une révolution technologique et philosophique : celle d'un monde où la confiance ne reposerait plus sur les institutions, mais sur le code.

GMoney celebrates episode 135 of Rugpull Radio on the eve of Bitcoin's 17th anniversary and the 250th year since 1776, tying together history, prophecy, and technology in one explosive broadcast. He connects the dots between Trump's tariff strategy, the Federal Reserve's 1913 origins, and Bitcoin's rise as the tool to end financial slavery. GMoney argues that true freedom isn't political, it's proof of work, not proof of stake, and that Bitcoin represents the “digital 1776” prophesied in Q drops. From John Perry Barlow's vision of a free Internet to Trump's cryptic speeches and Eric Trump's mining ventures, every thread points to a global shift of power from bankers to individuals. Alongside hilarious ad reads for Soft Disclosure and My Shroom Vibe, GMoney mixes philosophy, tech, and scripture to reveal a digital war centuries in the making, where knowledge, not bullets, wins the day.

Celebrating White Paper Day Eve, the 17th anniversary of the Bitcoin white paperGuest Phil Champagne discusses the second edition of The Book of Satoshi, which now includes newly released private email exchanges from early Bitcoin contributors revealed through the COPA v.
