Hello InLeo people
I am new here and just joined. Trying to figure out many things and I hope I am welcome here. Any tips and suggestions will be appreciated
Welcome to the freedom world @finpulse! Thank you for give this platform a try.
I will help you getting along with step by step learning more about how all this works.
Meanwhile, I already saw some people giving you some welcomes!
As you see, your pending rewards will need 7 day curation until they are "credited". Some will be in form of HIVE "staked" and another in form of the coin you chose on inleo (if you have a blue interface, then you will get DASH). You can then convert this to any other currency you like. I can go through that in 7 days time.
Meanwhile, you can say more hello's, interact with people on the inleo community (which is on top of HIVE and you will be able to see this comment for example also via other UI's). I will go through that too...
For engagement on Hive, people have the change to curate you (meaning liking or disliking it). Which is the process that settles the rewards after the 7 days.
There will be more built into #inleo but I was refering to the fact you can swap/convert to other currencies... either via LEODEX or Hive-Engine market/pools.
I can't thank you enough for your help.
I am super excited to learn and explore more. Never thought web3 can be like this and this needs to spread the word
You are welcome to inleo. Go ahead and make threads and engage with others. No set rules, only don't be toxic and abusive to others. Not a rule, I am just saying.
Find out some topics you like and follow related people. Post whatever you like about on Threads and try to have a good time. Think of INLEO as any other social media. Click on tags to find more content on that specific tag.
I have tried to move more and more swaps to LeoDex.
The last swap that I did got stuck and I don't want to do more until that gets resolved. It was not small (for me anyways). I have done many before that. How do users without a Discord get a ticket in place? I am trying to get away from Discord--maybe I will have to go back. 🙄
I put the transaction on threads under feedback, but it has gone unnoticed. I think that the swap failed due to Hive-engine issues at the time since it was a BTC => LEO (Hive) transaction, but not 100% sure.
I 100% trust InLeo, but don't want to keep trading my BTC into a hole that I can't fix.
In response to this success, I traded some more. Both have gotten stuck. 🙁
This first one was BTC to HIVE. It looks like the BTC went to the LeoDex wallet then ARBLEO then HIVELEO. It was supposed to go to 315 HIVE but that never showed up.
This is what we need is revenue streams a 99% of new sign ups are going to be here looking for a payout from their content. So we need systems in place that generate value to the token itself.
My resolve to build it has never been higher. If more in our community can use it - even with tiny amounts - and give regular #feedback, I can continue to improve it
Other UIs are making ridiculous money in the cross-chain trading space. Time for us to step up and make the best DEX UI so we can tap into this and use 100% of it to buyback $LEO
I wrote a little article for my latest release "Data Heist" and would love to hear you opinions and thoughts on it! The article along with ways to listen to the song can be found in the comments area. Thank you!!
agreed. It’s the #1 reason I think Leo will grow. I’ve done most my swapping there and it’s great. I don’t move a lot of crypto but will continue to use it.
Google Gemini released a few new models...most impressive probably being the "2.0 Flash w/ apps". You could already analyze YT videos, but with reasoning you can analyze multiple videos in one query.
Example, if I want to learn a course or topic thats formatted in to a YT playlist, I can share the entire playlist link and ask for points of emphasis, key terms, actionable steps, etc.
If its not in a playlist, collaborate with the model to create a custom list to analyze. Example in comments
I think it always goes the same way: when they realize they are inside the fascism bubble, it's just too late by then. Now things are so new and exciting and they still consider themselves as victims.
Elon is entitled to his opinion like everybody else. If it can be proven that 60 Minutes deliberately lied for the purposes of interfering with the election then someone probably does deserve jail time. That would be up to a court to decide
It isn't free speech if government is influencing it. My understanding is that this is what Elon opposes. Vance just gave a speech in Germany about free speech that illustrates the commitment of the admin.
Not sure about the 60 minutes thing specifically but in general, the things Musk is complaining about are the free speech violations, not his complaints themselves. See link:
Ah, I understand what you are getting at. The prison sentence comment was unwarranted, I agree. Though, there should be severe consequences for such blatant propaganda. Nobody should take them seriously ever again
Both sides of American politics are really good at addressing the horrible things about the other side that are real and neither are even remotely self reflective about their own short comings.
DOGE seems to me like something absolutely necessary, and it needs oversight, but who do you have do that when the other side is clearly just out to get them for exposing their corruption?
I just want to see 90% of government spending on a public ledger and then there will be a basis for real debate.
Only -11 F (or -24 C) here this morning. Perfect day to stay inside and make a crockpot. Too bad I have to go to the store to get the ingredients. It will be worth it when I'm eating a nice hot, thick beef stew tonight though, as the temps are supposed to make their way down to -18 F (-28 C). 🥶 ❄️ 🥶
AI is a force multiplier for a platform. We need to keep thinking in this direction since this is what will allow Leo to advance faster than other things.
Got my Premium renewed for the month, ten inches of fresh powder to snowshoe in, 800 onions started, and a purring feline chilling in my lap while I sip my coffee. Life is good.
But seriously. Imagine being an Argentinian who has suffered from superinflation for decades and when the new president who promised the moon and the stars is elected, you go all into the token he shilled, and then...
Yes we are, we offer dividends, curation, a tip bot and we also have a focus on onboarding and helping new users stay on chain, you can buy into the DUO ecosystem or you can earn your way in writing guest post for DUO
A crypto analyst presented a theory linking the Twitter co-founder to Bitcoin’s creation. The key arguments:
🔸Dorsey was fascinated by cryptography and the cypherpunk movement in his early years.
🔸In 2003, he wrote about working on cryptography late at night—the timestamps of Bitcoin’s original files match this pattern.
🔸His Twitter bio (2007–2009) said "sailor," while Bitcoin’s source code contains a nautical proverb: “Never go to sea with two chronometers. Take one or three.”
🔸On January 10, 2009, Satoshi appeared in an IRC chat with a California-based IP—the same place where Dorsey was at the time.
Even Bitcoin’s major milestones align with Dorsey’s life.
There was one particular person I couldn't respond to some few minutes ago. He was talking about some project that pays 50 to 100 dollars monthly. I left his thread to another thread and I was able to reply.
While splinterlands is a collectible strategy game, its far from a game that's about collecting NFTs and then throwing them in a mix mash way into a battle. The game is all about strategy and tactics.
2/ 🧵 Most players focus on getting all the cards or copying what others are doing. But if you really want to start winning more battles, you need to start focusing on speed and positioning.
In 561 B.C, there were three factions competing for control of the Athenian Polis: Hyperakrioi of the city under Pisistratus, the Paraloi of the coastal region under Magacles, and the Pediakoi under Lycurgus from the plains region. That year Pisistratus faked an assassination attempt on himself and seized the Acropolis. The democracy then fell when he took control as a tyrant by out maneuvering his opponents.
Pisistratus was banished twice but came back each time and ruled until his death in 527 B.C. He did not change the laws of Solon, but he maintained a private army and had his friends placed in important positions in the government. His income from the silver mines at Mount Laurium were used to benefit the Athenian people by securing the Athenian grain supply, distributing land to the sons of Hektemoroi, and employing the urban poor in building projects. His reign carried on the reforms of Solon and the people became comfortable with a tyrant who brought them stability.
Following the death of Pisistratus, his sons Hipparchus and Hippias reigned until Hipparchus was murdered in 514 by a rival faction. Hippias became a paranoid and ruled cruelly until 510 when the Spartans were enlisted to come to Athens and depose him.
For the average person, this matters because it affects things like bills and the environment. If you have an efficient washing machine, but start washing everything in sight because it uses less water, your water bill could still be high, and more water gets used anyway. The Jevons Paradox shows us that we need to use things wisely, even when they get more efficient, to really make a difference.
The first act in this tragedy was the rise of the Sophists. I’ve written previously about how Sophism took hold in Athens during the middle of the Golden Age, circa 450 B.C, and what it meant to Athenian philosophy. What began as a method to educate the sons of the wealthy grew beyond what anyone could have imagined. The Sophist’s vision was man-centric and not Polis centric – focused on the failures of the old system as proof that a change was needed. Under their influence, the educated Greek became self-confident, cosmopolitan, and a universal man, sharing nature with all other men. The laws of nature (physics) became a dominant philosophy, replacing the laws of gods and men. As Protagoras said, “man is the measure of all things.”
Thebes stepped in and tried for nine years (371-62) to control northern Greece, but following the Battle of Mantinea, her hegemony came to an end. By 355 B.C. all Greece was exhausted and in disarray.
Now was time for Philip of Macedonia to appear; a man so strong of will that a divided Greece could not stop him. The Athenians, led by Demosthenes, tried their best to maintain Greek autonomy, but the end for Athens came at the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 B.C. As victor, Philip convened the League of Corinth, including in it all the Greek powers except Sparta who refused to participate.
Culturally, the fourth century was very different from its predecessor as rhetoric and prose became important tools for communication. Rhetoric had a particularly powerful impact because of its detachment of form from content. There was no longer a “correct” point of view to be supported by argument, because rhetoric could be used effectively on either side. The argument’s winner was determined by style and not truth.
In the area of plastic arts, decorated pottery declined as an art form after a millennium of prominence. The wealthy began to buy iron vessels which were manufactured without decoration. Without a market for their skills, pottery artists turned their talents to wall paintings and other forms of decoration. Artistic styles transitioned from Classic to Mannerist.
Furthermore, Meta plans to build “more direct expertise in the space” by developing retail locations similar to the Meta Lab store it opened in Los Angeles in November, although retail partners will remain the primary drivers of hardware sales volume.
Right after the launch of DeepSeek’s game-changing AI model, Meta had assembled four “war rooms” to investigate how the R1 chatbot performed at par with models like ChatGPT at a fraction of the cost.
All in this video is true. I had 2 types of "promotions" offered to me this far:
a manager role with no extra pay - only more responsibilities. Boss said I could stay inside building more, but with all the responsibilities I prefer to be outside.
you can work night shifts or stay late, work more hours in general, for extra pay. I prefer free time and healthy sleep. We have only one life. I don't need a lot of money to enjoy my day.
Finally! A realtor who speaks honestly and isn’t trying to mislead a buyer in order to get a quick commission. What she is saying is spot-on. No, you shouldn’t “buy now because the prices are only going to go up” or “inventory is going to shrink dramatically in the next couple months while people from the north buy up properties again”. I was so turned off by Florida realtors on FB who were telling me I didn’t know what I was talking about months ago when I said the real estate market is cyclic and that there would be a correction sooner rather than later because of the high insurance rates, cost of living and the working people blindly going down thinking that Florida was
Sounds like what the Greeks, and later the Romans to a greater degree, were doing. They had mines, small factories, shipping companies and other types of businesses we see in the post-modern age. The difference is that with technology at a low level, the impact on society was less significant. Still, the model was operating.
The lower class become differentiated above the level of the common laborer when its most able members realized that they could use their unique skills to earn money. Those who were good with their hands could become carpenters, while those with a good ear could become musicians. Analytical types might become accountants or money lenders. All of this was possible because a densely packed population could feed itself from the output of the local farmer. Man now had the time develop his skills, because he didn’t have to look for food.
As crafts developed, some were more prized than others, so the individuals with those skills could expect to earn more money. Some crafts, by their nature, were looked down upon. For example, undertakers and butchers were considered inferior, while those engaged in intellectual pursuits were admired. To the wealthy, all skills not engaged in by them were seen as lowly, especially those where a man had to get his hands dirty.
While bubble-making may not be a realistic career path, according to Chris Brunt, PhD, lecturer in astrophysics and the student’s mentor, acoustic levitators are highly beneficial and can be applied in various scientific and industrial fields to solve real-world challenges.
“They’re useful in many fields, used in manufacturing microchips as well as scientific research where small insects, cells or droplets can be levitated under a microscope for observation,” adds the astrophysicist.
Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Meta are still proceeding with large data center buildouts for several reasons:
The surge in AI compute for reasoning and AI agents requires more compute and the increased efficiency enables more value to be delivered. Jevons paradox (economics) occurs when advancement make a resource more efficient to use but the effect is overall demand increases causing total consumption to rise. This was seen with cheaper personal computers meant the demand for computers increased 100 times from tens of millions to billions of units. The top 4 companies plan to spend $310 billion on AI infrastructure and research.
Deepseek came out at prices per million token that was far cheaper than OpenAI but OpenAi and Google Gemini have competitive and even better pricing.
There are increases in performance from test time compute. The OpenAI O3 model used 30,000 H100 GPU hours to answer the toughest math and reasoning problems. This type of AI inference will only be used when there is great value to push the boundaries of AI capability for a vastly superior and urgently needed answer. There needs to be some form of question pre-analysis or routing done to estimate how much effort is worthwhile.
Deepseek shows AI continues to improve rapidly and we are getting better results for less energy and less cost. It shows that AI will be profitable where answers and value will become lower and lower cost. Even virtually free with more and more capable local models. The World will change and more AI Data Centers will be needed to give the best answers or agent actions for the most valuable and challenging needs.
Rising core goods price inflation since last spring has slowed progress, Bowman said. While she expects inflation to continue to decelerate this year, she said disinflation "may take longer than we would hope."
"I continue to see greater risks to price stability, especially while the labor market remains strong," Bowman said.
The most recent consumer price index showed inflation trended higher than expected in January, rising 0.5% month-over-month versus the Dow Jones estimate calling for a 0.3% rise. This put the annual inflation rate at 3%, coming in above consensus forecasts for 2.9%
If we accept Aristotle’s opinion on the origin of the Spartan system, we merely transfer our dilemma. That is we must now ask ourselves why the Cretans adopted such a system before we tackle the reasons why the Spartans did. It appears that the Dorian conquerors of the Minoans adopted the “Helot” practice to permanently prevent the Minoans from rising against them. This makes some sense given that Crete is an island that was completely inhabited by Minoans. Perhaps the Dorian conquerors had superior military skill but lacked equal numbers, or possibly the tidal wave produced at Santorini decimated the Minoan people and left them unable to resist an invader. In any case, if the Dorians had a smaller population, they would have lived in fear of an uprising that would leave them no escape.
Why Helots?
Today we focus on the Helots, captive people of the Spartan regime. The word “Helot” is most likely the perfect past participle of the Greek word that means “captives” or “prisoners of war”.
We have discussed the fact that the Spartans adopted the Lycurgan system because they needed an army to control their Helot slaves, but why did the Spartans have Helot slaves in the first place? Why were the Messenians not made an ally, client state, or annexed? Why adopt this strange and rare version of pseudo-slavery?
The truth is we don’t know the reason. Herodotus says that Lycurgus visited Crete, observed their system of government, and brought the concept home. There is an alternate theory also from Herodotus, and later advanced by the Spartans themselves, that Pythia, the priestess at the Oracle of Delphi, told Lycurgus how he should construct his new governmental system. It’s hard to be attracted to either theory given that we do not know whether Lycurgus was a real person.
Asked if he was “disappointed” they came to him with the suggestions, Devers said, “Since the beginning, I’ve known this is a business. I don’t think that was the right way to do business.”
And he insisted he wouldn’t move.
“It’s my decision,’’ Devers said. “My position is third base. Whatever it is they want to do is what they want to do. But my position is third base.”
We see that the first socio-economic class developed in human society consisted of a wealthy class built through the accumulation of land which was passed on through generations. The masses would not be able to differentiate themselves until population density created demand for a differentiated worker class and the wealthy desired goods an undifferentiated lower class could not provide. Without power over the wealthy, the lower classes could not demand the rights that come with a democratic government. It would take centuries for that power to become a force for change.
After a time, we ended up with what Aristotle describes below.
“Those who have too much of the goods of fortune, strength, wealth, friends and the like, are neither able or willing to submit to authority… On the other hand, the very poor, who are in the opposite extreme are degraded. So that one class cannot obey and can only rule despotically; the other knows not to command and must be ruled like slaves. Thus arises a city, not of freemen, but of masters and slaves, the one despising, the other envying.”
Rafael Devers refusing position switch after $120 million Alex Bregman signing in Red Sox mess
Fresh off the signing of star third baseman Alex Bregman, the Boston Red Sox could have an issue at the hot corner, as Rafael Devers made it clear Monday he had no intention of giving up the position.
Devers, 28, said he would not be the designated hitter (DH) in Boston, even if the team asked him to move to first base or become a DH.
“Third base is my position,’’ Devers said through an interpreter at Red Sox camp in Fort Myers, Fla. “That’s what I’ve played. I don’t know what their plans are. I know we had a conversation. I made it clear what my desires were, and yeah, whatever happens from here, I don’t know.”
Acquiring wealth is the most permanent way to insure superior status in a society. In ancient times wealth came from property and property separated a man’s status from his physical attributes. Even though the first landholders were leaders, their wealth was passed on to later generations who may not have possessed the same physical skills. Of course, the ownership of land could not become a factor in creating social class until man had given up his nomadic ways and settled in a particular location. Like today, land and the wealth derived from it accumulates quickly so the wealthy become separated from the masses in a few generations. Those lacking wealth were an undifferentiated population – separate from the elite but equal among themselves.
Like leadership and courage in war elevate an individual in society and separate him from peers, weakness and cowardice have the opposite effect. Those who may have some superior talents find themselves lowered in status or outcast by their negative traits.
Heredity also plays a part in validating superior status. Those individuals born into “old” families have prestige over those born into “new” families because older families have generations of proof to demonstrate their pedigree. This allows them to avoid the scrutiny placed on the offspring of new families. Although heredity may give some sanction to a family and its leaders, its tradition is still tied to the accomplishments of each generation. One or more failures and the chain is broken.
“It is true that, in a certain measure, individual and social differences go together. In every society a man’s social status is more or less influenced by his personal qualifications. People hold an individual of superior ability in higher esteem than others, and value his opinion, whereas the worthless are looked down upon. From the sociological point of view such an individual inequality appears in every respect natural, and consequently unavoidable. We may safely venture the assertion that no human society has ever existed or will ever exist where the social standing and influence of the different individuals does not vary according to their personal merits or demerits.”
I just returned home after completing my tuitions. Most of my students are good and active but one of my students is very lazy and doesn't matter how I try to encourage her. It's quite challenging to make her interested in studying. I think I need to think of something new to make her interested in studying as a teacher It's my responsibility.
Mostly merit rewards when I reached Champion III :( , but thanks to this I got a legendary Fina Voxom😃 (image in the comments)
#splinterlands #play2earn
Fina is a nice reward for all the merits. She is one of my favorite Gladiators to use!
I lost many battles against her :(
Unfortunately, this is my first Fina, so it's not good enough to use yet.

"LeoDex is how we grow the value of Leo"
This is absolutely right, love the mindset from @simplegame. I have also been moving all my trading to LeoDex
The team is moving the majority of our focus to building out the DEX UI. It's a potentially massive revenue stream for the $LEO Token economy
https://inleo.io/threads/view/simplegame/re-leothreads-rhjpgj5p
#feedback
I have tried to move more and more swaps to LeoDex.
The last swap that I did got stuck and I don't want to do more until that gets resolved. It was not small (for me anyways). I have done many before that. How do users without a Discord get a ticket in place? I am trying to get away from Discord--maybe I will have to go back. 🙄
I put the transaction on threads under feedback, but it has gone unnoticed. I think that the swap failed due to Hive-engine issues at the time since it was a BTC => LEO (Hive) transaction, but not 100% sure.
I 100% trust InLeo, but don't want to keep trading my BTC into a hole that I can't fix.

Hmm looking
Resolved!
https://inleo.io/threads/view/khaleelkazi/re-monkmasters-2kktempy5?referral=khaleelkazi
Yay!! Thank you so much! Time to buy some more $LEO before the price rises more!
Is Discord going to be the only way to get a ticket placed going forward? If so, I may have to suck it up and get onboard.
In response to this success, I traded some more. Both have gotten stuck. 🙁
This first one was BTC to HIVE. It looks like the BTC went to the LeoDex wallet then ARBLEO then HIVELEO. It was supposed to go to 315 HIVE but that never showed up.

The second one is more recent so maybe not enough time has passed. Oh wait. Nevermind . The second one just went through.
Does it mean that part of the revenue will go into buying leo?
$LEO $HIVE and $CACAO will be bought and added to Liquidity Pools.
Okay I will learn how to us it
This is what we need is revenue streams a 99% of new sign ups are going to be here looking for a payout from their content. So we need systems in place that generate value to the token itself.
LeoDex is the way

if you are not using LeoDex for your swaps let the team know why.
I am moving all my swaps in crypto to LeoDex. Not just my Hive ones.
LeoDex is how we grow the value of Leo
I am 100% into this. We need to support our own with everything we've got.
agreed. It’s the #1 reason I think Leo will grow. I’ve done most my swapping there and it’s great. I don’t move a lot of crypto but will continue to use it.
That's true.
My first time hearing about leodex , I will read about it
as my life tends to go - bad shit seems to happen all at once. just have to hang in there and keep pushing.
i prefer bad shit all at once over bad shit stretched out over a long time!
yeah at least once it's over you know you should get a break lol
I agree
I believe it's a phase, and what I know is there is always a storm before the next level. So be ready for something great in your life.
this is all i can do
Yeah, hang in there. And don't let nothing take your joy away.
this is the way
Sometimes life pushes you to your limits and it happens so quick. I myself have been going through this phase and seems like a never ending phase.
it surely feels like it doesn't stop
but everything has to end.
true. good or bad, all things end
I hear you brother.....I went through 7 years of torture. But couldn't give up. Things always have a way of levelling itself out.
yeah, just gotta get through it
I can relate to that. This too shall pass.
it shall. tis but a moment in time
Google Gemini released a few new models...most impressive probably being the "2.0 Flash w/ apps". You could already analyze YT videos, but with reasoning you can analyze multiple videos in one query.
Example, if I want to learn a course or topic thats formatted in to a YT playlist, I can share the entire playlist link and ask for points of emphasis, key terms, actionable steps, etc.
If its not in a playlist, collaborate with the model to create a custom list to analyze. Example in comments

When you see people resisting major, obvious, sensible reforms, it's because they in some way profit off of things remaining broken.
This is true in government, corporations, relationships, lifestyle choices, you name it.
You weren't thinking about the DHF when you wrote that, were you? 😏
I actually wasn't, but now that you mention it...
Haha, heard about what's going on and it's quite a sad thing but it's the downside of pos that we may just have to deal with
This is true, because if the thing obviously looks like it will better the place, it's a no Brainer id you seek the good of the place
absolutely true 💯
Why are Trump supporters not bothered by this man? I don't get it.
I think it always goes the same way: when they realize they are inside the fascism bubble, it's just too late by then. Now things are so new and exciting and they still consider themselves as victims.
like a frog inside a cooking pot... exactly
😀👌 Good comparison! I like that.
They are not bothered by Trump himself. Maybe they are cut from the same mold.

Elon is entitled to his opinion like everybody else. If it can be proven that 60 Minutes deliberately lied for the purposes of interfering with the election then someone probably does deserve jail time. That would be up to a court to decide
So, no freedom of the press? The press should only stick to a particular narrative?
I get your point, I'm not trying to be dense, but the idea of freedom of speech is either absolute or it's moot.
https://www.newsweek.com/fbi-colluded-twitter-suppress-free-speech-where-outrage-opinion-1768801
Listen, I agree with the need for free speech, but Elon is not showing he's fully committed to it.
You cant have your cake and eat it too.
It isn't free speech if government is influencing it. My understanding is that this is what Elon opposes. Vance just gave a speech in Germany about free speech that illustrates the commitment of the admin.
Your point is valid, don't get me wrong. But the idea is to remove government influence, not to burn the house down.
Not sure about the 60 minutes thing specifically but in general, the things Musk is complaining about are the free speech violations, not his complaints themselves. See link:
Elon is correct on both accounts. What's your point?
No contradictions here, none.
Death to the king, long live the king.
Ah, I understand what you are getting at. The prison sentence comment was unwarranted, I agree. Though, there should be severe consequences for such blatant propaganda. Nobody should take them seriously ever again
Both sides of American politics are really good at addressing the horrible things about the other side that are real and neither are even remotely self reflective about their own short comings.
DOGE seems to me like something absolutely necessary, and it needs oversight, but who do you have do that when the other side is clearly just out to get them for exposing their corruption?
I just want to see 90% of government spending on a public ledger and then there will be a basis for real debate.

Could Jack Dorsey be Satoshi Nakamoto?
A crypto analyst presented a theory linking the Twitter co-founder to Bitcoin’s creation. The key arguments:
🔸Dorsey was fascinated by cryptography and the cypherpunk movement in his early years.
🔸In 2003, he wrote about working on cryptography late at night—the timestamps of Bitcoin’s original files match this pattern.
🔸His Twitter bio (2007–2009) said "sailor," while Bitcoin’s source code contains a nautical proverb: “Never go to sea with two chronometers. Take one or three.”
🔸On January 10, 2009, Satoshi appeared in an IRC chat with a California-based IP—the same place where Dorsey was at the time.
Even Bitcoin’s major milestones align with Dorsey’s life.
this is one of the most popular theories in the ecosystem
Maybe, the true fact is we are Satoshis

In 561 B.C, there were three factions competing for control of the Athenian Polis: Hyperakrioi of the city under Pisistratus, the Paraloi of the coastal region under Magacles, and the Pediakoi under Lycurgus from the plains region. That year Pisistratus faked an assassination attempt on himself and seized the Acropolis. The democracy then fell when he took control as a tyrant by out maneuvering his opponents.
Pisistratus was banished twice but came back each time and ruled until his death in 527 B.C. He did not change the laws of Solon, but he maintained a private army and had his friends placed in important positions in the government. His income from the silver mines at Mount Laurium were used to benefit the Athenian people by securing the Athenian grain supply, distributing land to the sons of Hektemoroi, and employing the urban poor in building projects. His reign carried on the reforms of Solon and the people became comfortable with a tyrant who brought them stability.
Following the death of Pisistratus, his sons Hipparchus and Hippias reigned until Hipparchus was murdered in 514 by a rival faction. Hippias became a paranoid and ruled cruelly until 510 when the Spartans were enlisted to come to Athens and depose him.

For the average person, this matters because it affects things like bills and the environment. If you have an efficient washing machine, but start washing everything in sight because it uses less water, your water bill could still be high, and more water gets used anyway. The Jevons Paradox shows us that we need to use things wisely, even when they get more efficient, to really make a difference.

The first act in this tragedy was the rise of the Sophists. I’ve written previously about how Sophism took hold in Athens during the middle of the Golden Age, circa 450 B.C, and what it meant to Athenian philosophy. What began as a method to educate the sons of the wealthy grew beyond what anyone could have imagined. The Sophist’s vision was man-centric and not Polis centric – focused on the failures of the old system as proof that a change was needed. Under their influence, the educated Greek became self-confident, cosmopolitan, and a universal man, sharing nature with all other men. The laws of nature (physics) became a dominant philosophy, replacing the laws of gods and men. As Protagoras said, “man is the measure of all things.”

Thebes stepped in and tried for nine years (371-62) to control northern Greece, but following the Battle of Mantinea, her hegemony came to an end. By 355 B.C. all Greece was exhausted and in disarray.
Now was time for Philip of Macedonia to appear; a man so strong of will that a divided Greece could not stop him. The Athenians, led by Demosthenes, tried their best to maintain Greek autonomy, but the end for Athens came at the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 B.C. As victor, Philip convened the League of Corinth, including in it all the Greek powers except Sparta who refused to participate.

Culturally, the fourth century was very different from its predecessor as rhetoric and prose became important tools for communication. Rhetoric had a particularly powerful impact because of its detachment of form from content. There was no longer a “correct” point of view to be supported by argument, because rhetoric could be used effectively on either side. The argument’s winner was determined by style and not truth.
In the area of plastic arts, decorated pottery declined as an art form after a millennium of prominence. The wealthy began to buy iron vessels which were manufactured without decoration. Without a market for their skills, pottery artists turned their talents to wall paintings and other forms of decoration. Artistic styles transitioned from Classic to Mannerist.

Sounds like what the Greeks, and later the Romans to a greater degree, were doing. They had mines, small factories, shipping companies and other types of businesses we see in the post-modern age. The difference is that with technology at a low level, the impact on society was less significant. Still, the model was operating.

The lower class become differentiated above the level of the common laborer when its most able members realized that they could use their unique skills to earn money. Those who were good with their hands could become carpenters, while those with a good ear could become musicians. Analytical types might become accountants or money lenders. All of this was possible because a densely packed population could feed itself from the output of the local farmer. Man now had the time develop his skills, because he didn’t have to look for food.
As crafts developed, some were more prized than others, so the individuals with those skills could expect to earn more money. Some crafts, by their nature, were looked down upon. For example, undertakers and butchers were considered inferior, while those engaged in intellectual pursuits were admired. To the wealthy, all skills not engaged in by them were seen as lowly, especially those where a man had to get his hands dirty.

While bubble-making may not be a realistic career path, according to Chris Brunt, PhD, lecturer in astrophysics and the student’s mentor, acoustic levitators are highly beneficial and can be applied in various scientific and industrial fields to solve real-world challenges.
“They’re useful in many fields, used in manufacturing microchips as well as scientific research where small insects, cells or droplets can be levitated under a microscope for observation,” adds the astrophysicist.
Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Meta are still proceeding with large data center buildouts for several reasons:
The surge in AI compute for reasoning and AI agents requires more compute and the increased efficiency enables more value to be delivered. Jevons paradox (economics) occurs when advancement make a resource more efficient to use but the effect is overall demand increases causing total consumption to rise. This was seen with cheaper personal computers meant the demand for computers increased 100 times from tens of millions to billions of units. The top 4 companies plan to spend $310 billion on AI infrastructure and research.
Deepseek came out at prices per million token that was far cheaper than OpenAI but OpenAi and Google Gemini have competitive and even better pricing.
There are increases in performance from test time compute. The OpenAI O3 model used 30,000 H100 GPU hours to answer the toughest math and reasoning problems. This type of AI inference will only be used when there is great value to push the boundaries of AI capability for a vastly superior and urgently needed answer. There needs to be some form of question pre-analysis or routing done to estimate how much effort is worthwhile.
Deepseek shows AI continues to improve rapidly and we are getting better results for less energy and less cost. It shows that AI will be profitable where answers and value will become lower and lower cost. Even virtually free with more and more capable local models. The World will change and more AI Data Centers will be needed to give the best answers or agent actions for the most valuable and challenging needs.

Rising core goods price inflation since last spring has slowed progress, Bowman said. While she expects inflation to continue to decelerate this year, she said disinflation "may take longer than we would hope."
"I continue to see greater risks to price stability, especially while the labor market remains strong," Bowman said.
The most recent consumer price index showed inflation trended higher than expected in January, rising 0.5% month-over-month versus the Dow Jones estimate calling for a 0.3% rise. This put the annual inflation rate at 3%, coming in above consensus forecasts for 2.9%
If we accept Aristotle’s opinion on the origin of the Spartan system, we merely transfer our dilemma. That is we must now ask ourselves why the Cretans adopted such a system before we tackle the reasons why the Spartans did. It appears that the Dorian conquerors of the Minoans adopted the “Helot” practice to permanently prevent the Minoans from rising against them. This makes some sense given that Crete is an island that was completely inhabited by Minoans. Perhaps the Dorian conquerors had superior military skill but lacked equal numbers, or possibly the tidal wave produced at Santorini decimated the Minoan people and left them unable to resist an invader. In any case, if the Dorians had a smaller population, they would have lived in fear of an uprising that would leave them no escape.
Why Helots?
Today we focus on the Helots, captive people of the Spartan regime. The word “Helot” is most likely the perfect past participle of the Greek word that means “captives” or “prisoners of war”.
We have discussed the fact that the Spartans adopted the Lycurgan system because they needed an army to control their Helot slaves, but why did the Spartans have Helot slaves in the first place? Why were the Messenians not made an ally, client state, or annexed? Why adopt this strange and rare version of pseudo-slavery?
The truth is we don’t know the reason. Herodotus says that Lycurgus visited Crete, observed their system of government, and brought the concept home. There is an alternate theory also from Herodotus, and later advanced by the Spartans themselves, that Pythia, the priestess at the Oracle of Delphi, told Lycurgus how he should construct his new governmental system. It’s hard to be attracted to either theory given that we do not know whether Lycurgus was a real person.
Asked if he was “disappointed” they came to him with the suggestions, Devers said, “Since the beginning, I’ve known this is a business. I don’t think that was the right way to do business.”
And he insisted he wouldn’t move.
“It’s my decision,’’ Devers said. “My position is third base. Whatever it is they want to do is what they want to do. But my position is third base.”
We see that the first socio-economic class developed in human society consisted of a wealthy class built through the accumulation of land which was passed on through generations. The masses would not be able to differentiate themselves until population density created demand for a differentiated worker class and the wealthy desired goods an undifferentiated lower class could not provide. Without power over the wealthy, the lower classes could not demand the rights that come with a democratic government. It would take centuries for that power to become a force for change.
After a time, we ended up with what Aristotle describes below.
“Those who have too much of the goods of fortune, strength, wealth, friends and the like, are neither able or willing to submit to authority… On the other hand, the very poor, who are in the opposite extreme are degraded. So that one class cannot obey and can only rule despotically; the other knows not to command and must be ruled like slaves. Thus arises a city, not of freemen, but of masters and slaves, the one despising, the other envying.”
Rafael Devers refusing position switch after $120 million Alex Bregman signing in Red Sox mess
Fresh off the signing of star third baseman Alex Bregman, the Boston Red Sox could have an issue at the hot corner, as Rafael Devers made it clear Monday he had no intention of giving up the position.
Devers, 28, said he would not be the designated hitter (DH) in Boston, even if the team asked him to move to first base or become a DH.
“Third base is my position,’’ Devers said through an interpreter at Red Sox camp in Fort Myers, Fla. “That’s what I’ve played. I don’t know what their plans are. I know we had a conversation. I made it clear what my desires were, and yeah, whatever happens from here, I don’t know.”
Acquiring wealth is the most permanent way to insure superior status in a society. In ancient times wealth came from property and property separated a man’s status from his physical attributes. Even though the first landholders were leaders, their wealth was passed on to later generations who may not have possessed the same physical skills. Of course, the ownership of land could not become a factor in creating social class until man had given up his nomadic ways and settled in a particular location. Like today, land and the wealth derived from it accumulates quickly so the wealthy become separated from the masses in a few generations. Those lacking wealth were an undifferentiated population – separate from the elite but equal among themselves.
Like leadership and courage in war elevate an individual in society and separate him from peers, weakness and cowardice have the opposite effect. Those who may have some superior talents find themselves lowered in status or outcast by their negative traits.
Heredity also plays a part in validating superior status. Those individuals born into “old” families have prestige over those born into “new” families because older families have generations of proof to demonstrate their pedigree. This allows them to avoid the scrutiny placed on the offspring of new families. Although heredity may give some sanction to a family and its leaders, its tradition is still tied to the accomplishments of each generation. One or more failures and the chain is broken.
As Landtman tells us:
“It is true that, in a certain measure, individual and social differences go together. In every society a man’s social status is more or less influenced by his personal qualifications. People hold an individual of superior ability in higher esteem than others, and value his opinion, whereas the worthless are looked down upon. From the sociological point of view such an individual inequality appears in every respect natural, and consequently unavoidable. We may safely venture the assertion that no human society has ever existed or will ever exist where the social standing and influence of the different individuals does not vary according to their personal merits or demerits.”
Hmm... the Argentinian president sure looks oddly familiar...
