Związek kryptowalut z danymi makro jest głęboko zakorzeniony w konstrukcji Bitcoina. Kiedy Satoshi stworzył Bitcoina, zsynchronizował jego cykl halvingu z cyklem płynności banków centralnych.
Przed stworzeniem Bitcoina banki centralne stosowały czteroletni kalendarz w celu zwiększenia podaży pieniądza, a następnie ograniczały płynność w celu kontrolowania inflacji.
Powodem, dla którego banki centralne rozwijają i kurczą płynność, jest stymulowanie wzrostu gospodarczego. W systemie monetarnym o stałej podaży przedsiębiorstwom trudniej jest uzyskać dostęp do kapitału w celu napędzania wzrostu.
I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. I wanted to quickly share a few tips for using Claude Code, sourced directly from the Claude Code team. The way the team uses Claude is different than how I use it. Remember: there is no one right way to use Claude Code -- everyones' setup is different. You should experiment to see what works for you!
1. Do more in parallel
Spin up 3–5 git worktrees at once, each running its own Claude session in parallel. It's the single biggest productivity unlock, and the top tip from the team. Personally, I use multiple git checkouts, but most of the Claude Code team prefers worktrees -- it's the reason @amorriscode built native support for them into the Claude Desktop app!
Some people also name their worktrees and set up shell aliases (za, zb, zc) so they can hop between them in one keystroke. Others have a dedicated "analysis" worktree that's only for reading logs and running BigQuery
2. Start every complex task in plan mode. Pour your energy into the plan so Claude can 1-shot the implementation.
One person has one Claude write the plan, then they spin up a second Claude to review it as a staff engineer.
Another says the moment something goes sideways, they switch back to plan mode and re-plan. Don't keep pushing. They also explicitly tell Claude to enter plan mode for verification steps, not just for the build
Slavery in Islamic law is not based on race or ethnicity. However, while there was no legal distinction between white European and black African slaves, in some Muslim societies they were employed in different roles: for example, Ottoman Empire made white slaves (from Russia and other states) serve as soldiers and government officials, while black slaves were placed as guards at palaces and the harems of elite families.
The subject of slavery in Ottoman Empire is not a topic widely discussed amongst literary circles. Muslims choose to completely oversee these large scale harrowing atrocities on a captive people. Professor George Junne of University of Colorado has written a book on the subject, in which he talks about the key role that eunuchs played in Ottoman state. He describes how Ottomans bought the slaves after checking their value in terms of performing arts as well as their capacity to run businesses etc. Slaves would be priced according to their skills and will be assigned tasks as per their calibre.
In his book, Junne describes how a black slave would be completely separated from family and friends. Ottoman practice of eunuch-making and institutionalization of it, was one of the many customs they used to control Kuffar. Main difference between white eunuchs and black eunuchs is, that with white eunuchs, they just took out their testicles. With black eunuchs, they were completely “shaved,” meaning that everything came off. White eunuchs were sourced (bought and abducted) by Ottomans bought and from Christians and Jews. Black slaves who were later turned into Eunuchs were simply abducted. Afterward, they ended up either in the Sultan’s Harem as guards, or in Istanbul, where there were a lot of very rich men who had their own personal harems. This went on throughout Ottoman Empire. Advent of Kemal Atatürk put got rid of things like harems and the eunuch system as Turkey tried to become more European.
Scholars trying to be balanced have argued that religious scriptures contain a number of verses aimed at regulating slavery and mitigating its negative impact. They state that Quran prescribes kindness towards slaves, that they are considered morally equal to free persons, perhaps with lower legal standing and that Quran aimed to gradually phase out slavery altogether. But it did not make slavery Haram, like it states about consumption of pork. According to Dr. Shabbir Ally, a Muslim scholar, Muslims did not follow instructions of Quran and were therefore not able to abolish Slavery from their midst until the Europeans made it illegal in some countries. However, matter of slavery is left to interpretation in scriptures and as many proselytising Muslims would want us to believe, should be read about keeping in mind background (Syaq o Sabaaq). Those who cannot make logical sense of this practice but still are adamant defenders of the scripture believe that since there is a Hadith on correcting what is wrong, which says that there should be no harm to anyone, therefore followers of Quran were ones who were given open initiation to stop slavery. However, even they cannot justify order for slave girls to remain only partially dressed when in public, to differentiate between a slave and a free woman. According to Hanafi School of thought, during early days of Islam, it was already proscribed that a slave girl was to hide her body “from navel to knees”.

Ottoman Empire which wanted to spread far and wide, also had a notorious hubble of pirate ships, which would go to European countries, and plunder their lands. In the process, they will also bring with them a large number of European slaves. One particularly harrowing narration of how the Ottoman pirates reached Iceland and took people to slave market in 1627, describes that during one siege, pirates captured people from their homes, markets and crevices of mountains where they were hiding with their families. In this process, pirates set on fire the churches and killed those who were of no need to them, including the older Pastors. Those seen fit to be traded were taken aboard the pirate ship and soon it set sail away from Iceland. According to the narrator, there was one pirate who was very particular about washing himself every day, even had other people wash his body. One woman on the ship who was name The Honest Helen, told the narrator that very person had killed her husband. The ship came to a stop at Algiers and all the Ice Landers were taken to the slave market, where they found numerous other people also being put on sale.
The narrator further talks about a pretty girl who was bought for 1000 Dinar and her Master too her to Jerusalem to sell her for profit to a Christian man, becuase Christians could not have sex with Turkish (Muslim) women.
Ottoman Sultans made great use of the unclarity in Quran about slavery, to serve their own purposes. According to the book called “The Legacy of Arab-Islam In Africa”, British Consul General in Morroco wrote a letter to Sultan Abul Hamid II askig him if he had taken any measured to stop slavery or the slave trade. Sultan replied that all sects of Islam agree there is nothing mention in the Quran, and it has been the norm since the time of Adam, therefore he plans to do nothing about it. This response of the Sultan encapsulates the justification of around 1300 years of slavery post the arrival of Islam.
Your phone isn’t personal. It’s a data sensor with a camera.
In 2026, privacy isn’t a feature. It’s a fight.
If you haven’t audited your device, you’re not the user. You’re the product.
Here’s the 18-step Ghost Protocol to take your phone back.
1. The "Invisible" Listener
Ever talked about "blue shoes" and seen an ad 5 minutes later? It’s not a coincidence, and they aren't "listening" to your voice. They’re tracking your ultrasonic cross-device pings. Your phone emits sounds you can't hear to talk to your smart TV and laptop. Let's kill that first.
2. Kill the "Significant Locations"
Your iPhone/Android keeps a hidden list of everywhere you go: your gym, your job, your "secret" spots.
- iOS: Settings → Privacy → Location Services → System Services → Significant Locations.
- Action: Clear History and turn it OFF. Stop giving them your routine on a silver platter.
New Zealand authorities arrested this man for exposing the government’s COVID vaccine data.
What he uncovered inside the vaccine batches was horrifying.
When Barry Young, a former Ministry of Health employee, examined the data, he was alarmed to find a 21% death rate tied to Batch ID 1.
Batch ID 1: Total Vaccinated 711, Death Count 152, 21.38% Dead
Batch ID 2 showed similar results, with a 17% death rate — Total Vaccinated 221, Death Count 38, 17.19% Dead
Batch ID 3 followed close behind, with a 15% death rate — Total Vaccinated 310, Death Count 48, 15.48% Dead
According to Young, New Zealand’s underlying mortality rate should be just 0.75%, meaning the odds of these outcomes occurring by chance are roughly 100 billion to 1.
And these weren’t isolated cases. Numerous other batches showed death rates of 4.5% and higher.
“So statistically, what we’re saying is that there is no chance that this vaccine is not a killer,” Young concluded.
And instead of triggering an urgent investigation, this data triggered something else entirely. 🧵
Every major atrocity has something in common. Most people inside the system thought they were doing the right thing.
Not because they were cruel, but because data, authority, and ideology replaced human judgment.
Every system that causes mass harm depends on one thing: People who follow the rules instead of their conscience and what they see.
That’s why whistleblowers are so dangerous—and so rare.
History’s most uncomfortable lesson isn’t that evil people exist.
It’s that ordinary people comply while only a tiny minority risks everything to object.
Despite losing careers, reputations, and their families, a small minority of people always step forward to expose wrongdoing.
It’s not because it’s easy. It’s not because they’re rewarded.
It’s because something inside them won’t let them stay silent.
Modern society tells us we’re more enlightened and more ethical because we’re data-driven.
But what happens when the data is wrong? And what if it’s wrong on purpose? What if it’s incomplete? Or if it’s used to justify decisions that contradict lived reality?
Russia is funding its war in Ukraine with African gold.
Since 2022, Kremlin has extracted and smuggled more than $2.5B worth of gold, which Moscow used to pay for Shahed drones and North Korean weapons — United24. 1/
After Western sanctions blocked gold exports to Europe, Russia rerouted its supply chains to Africa, laundering gold through third countries and re-exporting it under false labels.
Mali, which is not under gold sanctions, became a key loophole.

Russian mercenaries, first under Wagner and now under Africa Corps, seized control of gold fields in Sudan, Mali, the Central African Republic, and Burkina Faso.

A couple interesting notes on the reveal that Obama’s White House Counsel (top lawyer to the President) Kathy Ruemmler emailed Jeffrey Epstein she was awarded the CIA Agency Medal just hours after getting the award 🧵
2) When I saw this, I wondered why I’d never heard this before. Her CIA Agency Award in 2015 was not and still has never been reported by any press outlet whatsoever, not even a fringe one. It’s not in her Wikipedia. It’s not in her extensive current Goldman Sachs bio.
3) I’ve covered many times, for example, how BlackRock’s Vice Chairman proudly lists his winning the CIA’s Director’s Award openly on his official BlackRock bio.
2/ April 2014:
Epstein meets with Adam Back and Austin Hill, two executives of a new Bitcoin layer-2 company called Blockstream.
At the time, Bitcoin had a 1MB block size limit. Keeping the block size limit made L2 networks like Blockstream useful and potentially profitable.
/3 July 2014:
Epstein invests in Blockstream.
Epstein invests at least $500,001 into Blockstream with his associate Joichi Ito. This directly ties Epstein financially to a for profit company connected to influential Bitcoin Core developers.
#SupremeCourt hears bail plea of businessmen accused of swapping blood samples in the Pune Porsche accident case.
Bench: Justice BV Nagarathna and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan.
Senior Advocate Gopal Sankarnarayanan: there are no allegations against the other two occupy pants of the car. Only person accused is the juvenile. To show that none of them was drunk the juvenile's father asked these people to help replace the blood sample.
Sankarnarayanan: this is a classic case of undermining the entire criminal justice system. It is not just the initial act but about what happened there after. Phone calls are made among all of them and immediately the local MLA lands there.
There are documented reports of these practices, particularly concerning the Yazidi community in Iraq’s Kurdistan region, as well as the unique "house church" movement in Iran.
1. Exploitation of Yazidis by Missionaries
Since the 2014 genocide committed by ISIS, the Yazidi
people have lived in a state of extreme vulnerability. Yazidi leaders and various human rights organizations have raised alarms regarding "predatory proselytization" by certain missionary vultures or Western Christian NGOs.
Aid-Linked Conversion, Yazidi officials, including
members of the Kurdish parliament, came out exposing some groups of distributing Bibles and Christian pamphlets alongside essential food and medical aid. Food and drink are only provided when they say Jesus in the only one. The concern is that aid is being used as a "bait" for
Additional Solicitor General SV Raju today informed the Supreme Court that the new local law regulating private school fees in Delhi, which was notified in December last year, will not be implemented for the current academic year (2025-26).
The Court had earlier expressed concern regarding retrospective application of the Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixing and Regulation of Fees Act, 2025.
J Narasimha: when the matter came before us our concern was the hurry in implementation. We would have set that aside. But they said that we will do it from next year. To that extent our interference at this stage is over.
1) Reading this old hypothesis by Michael VanElzakker on how infection of the vagus nerve might cause symptoms similar to ME/CFS.
This nerve passes on info about what's happening internally in the body. So an infection there might cause constant and severe sickness symptoms.
2) The vagus nerve is like a highway from your brainstem all the way down to your abdomen, wandering (vagus means wandering in Latin) through major organs along the way.
It picks up pro-inflammatory cytokines and passes on the danger response to the brain.
3) But what if this messenger itself is infected? That's sort of the gist of the theory, that an infection at the vagus nerve would cause a constant signal that the body is severely infected by a virus or other pathogen.
Who leaked this Number 10 discussion to Jeffrey Epstein? And are there consequences for the leaker?
It’s an internal discussion re. getting markets moving in the aftermath of the financial crisis. No doubt of great interest to Epstein and his financial market clients.
The name of the leaker is redacted. Could be any of Vadera, Pond, Heywood, Mandelson, or anyone they forwarded the email to.
I guess we'll never know the leaker's identity.
On a completely different subject, here's Peter Mandelson (a few months later) leaking an unrelated policy discussion to Jeffrey Epstein.
