the on chain transactions for buy and sell have moved into ETF and options. Gives the appearance of trading but its really more like off chain swaps with a spread tax.

Money is our base vote in society. It rewards value the moment it is spent and builds cooperation. We buy things that benefit us.
Social media "likes" are an expression of opinion (agreement or disagreement). Likes reward things that grab our attention and build tribes (segmentation advertising). We spend time on things that (we think) define us.
It is easier to define what we are not than what we are. Thus, the reward of the negative on social media.

you have omitted some of game theory. States and Companies will deal across border with each other in the currency that the seller will accept.
Sellers have the power. And in cross border situations there is little any central bank can do about it.
It has already happened to Russia. Many of its big companies now pay in Yuan for goods from China, and now take loans in Yuan too. The Rubel (@ 16% interest) is something only the Russian citizens use, to their determent.
When Bitcoin is worth more international trade will drive central banks to hold it. Aware citizens will cash out of their government scams, vis-à-vis Argentinaians into USD.

interesting write up. A high level sophisticated multi-vector attack reduces the blame space to highly motivated and funded teams. And they clearly were there just for the corn because they were willing to just run configuration interference.

That’s a beefy machine to keep up.
Liquid made the trade off of a centralized federation for quick blocks, over the slower decentralized main chain.

Nostr is like Discord, but free open source (FOSS).
Discord is important because it’s community centric communication and friends. Our society is defined by our communities. But Discord is centralized and vulnerable to capture and censorship.
As the Nostr “community model” use case develops I think we’ll see the global default channel (scope) abandoned - the volume will make it only useful for data mining.
Relays will pick and choose the communities they support from other relays. And most likely the community will have to pay to use if volume is above the watermark.
Hopefully the community owner gets to set the revenue share models for relays, as large communities will need to pay for service.
Decentralizing communications is our first step to resist the centralized (homogenized) society and group think. Fight the 51% attack on culture.
To be free we will need all our technologies to support a sovereign group of 1 person.

There are good and long standing algorithms used in Ethernet - when more than one writer is trying to write to the bus at the same time a clash occurs. Both writers backoff for a small random time. The backoff increases in time after each successive clash (up to a limit).
Maybe it’s the relay that can be responsible for having an optional “heartbeat”. It’s used all the time in device networks. Relay sends to other relays a signal when it comes back online, so a client sees when it’s active again when communicating with an up relay.
