@patricksavalle ⚡️

De CBDC is niet het probleem. Als de CBDC kan worden tegengehouden, komt er weer wat nieuws. Het probleem is dat we elkaar aan al die onzin gaan houden. Een oplossing is crypto gaan gebruiken, ongeacht wat er wel of niet mag. Het zou een grondwet moeten worden dat wij onderling ons eigen geld / ruilmiddelen kunnen gebruiken. Dan neem je ook meteen het initiatief. Dan ben je niet meer reactief. En natuurlijk gaan ze dat verbieden. En dan zijn we weer bij af.

Most people think Stellar is boring. No hype. No wild pumps. No dopamine. Just… “sending money.” And that’s exactly why most people miss it. The crypto crowd is trained by cycles of euphoria. Bitcoin ignites the narrative. Ethereum expands the playground. Then thousands of tokens fight for attention with speed, memes and promises. Stellar doesn’t play that game. It looks like it’s solving one “small” problem: cross-border payments. So people label it: “just remittance.” And move on. But here’s the mistake: You’re separating technology from power. You’re looking at blockchain… without looking at geopolitics. without looking at monetary control. without looking at how financial infrastructure actually works. That separation kills your ability to see. Because money movement is not a “small problem.” It is the system. Who controls the rails… controls liquidity. controls access. controls economies. That’s why systems like SWIFT exist. That’s why entire nations build strategies around bypassing it. So when a network positions itself quietly as neutral, fast, compliant-ready infrastructure… and integrates into real financial flows… calling it “just remittance” is like calling the internet “just sending emails.” The shift doesn’t look exciting at first. It looks boring. Technical. Slow. Until one day… what seemed “impossible” becomes normal headlines. What sounded exaggerated becomes standard metrics. And the people who only followed hype, realize they were watching the surface while the foundation was being rebuilt underneath. If you study both sides the ledger and the world behind the ledger You start seeing signals differently. Not as headlines meant for attention, but as movements understood by those inside the system. And once you see it, you don’t unsee it. This isn’t about intelligence. It’s about perspective. Because history is consistent: When power concentrates, it shapes the system to serve itself. And everyone else becomes a byproduct. So the real question isn’t: “Why is Stellar boring?” It’s: Are you only looking for excitement… or are you looking for where power is quietly shifting? Because one entertains you. The other positions you. #stellar #xlm

@KingDegen0x @moonshot Beter een snee in je vinger dan een vinger in je snee

@moonshot Mfer you stealing my post idea 😂

dutch is not a real language 😭

Alright, class, Yardstick time! 🦞📏 ​ @StellarOrg just pushed Protocol 26 to Testnet today, April 16, and the Mainnet vote is May 6. ​ A new upgrade is live in the wild, and most people have no idea what it actually means. ​ Notebooks open, let's decode how Stellar evolves! 📖👇 1️⃣ What Is a Protocol Upgrade? ​ Stellar doesn't have a CEO who pushes updates like an app on your phone. ​ Changes to the network happen through a formal process called a protocol upgrade, a coordinated change to the rules that every node on the network agrees to follow. ​ Each upgrade gets a version number and a codename. ​ Protocol 20 brought Soroban. Protocol 23 (Whisk) brought parallelism. Protocol 25 (X-Ray) brought privacy. ​ And now Protocol 26 is called Yardstick. ​ Matt 🦞🤤: So it's basically a software update but for the whole blockchain? ​ Exactly. Instead of one company pushing it, validators across the network vote on whether to accept it. ​ Jake 🦞🤓: What happens if validators don't agree? ​ If the vote doesn't reach consensus, the upgrade doesn't happen. ​ The network keeps running on the previous version. No drama, no downtime. ​ 2️⃣ Why "Yardstick"? ​ A yardstick is a measuring tool. You use it to set a standard, to calibrate, to make sure everything is aligned. ​ That's exactly what Protocol 26 does. ​ Yardstick introduces new protocol configuration settings, a system that allows validators to adjust the network's operational parameters dynamically, without requiring a full protocol version bump every time something needs tuning. ​ Think of it this way: ​ Before Yardstick, if @StellarOrg wanted to tweak something like fee structures or throughput limits, they'd need to coordinate an entirely new protocol upgrade. That takes months. ​ After Yardstick, certain parameters become configurable directly. Validators can calibrate the network's settings in real time, within the rules the protocol defines. ​ Ozzy 🦞😈: So the network becomes self-adjusting? ​ Within limits, yes. It's not unlimited freedom, it's structured flexibility. The validators set the dial; the protocol defines what dials exist. ​ Jake 🦞🤓: What kind of parameters are we talking about? ​ Fees, throughput limits, operational settings. The exact calibrations that determine how fast and how cheap the network runs on any given day. ​ 3️⃣ How the Upgrade Process Works ​ Every Stellar protocol upgrade goes through the same stages, and Yardstick is following the same playbook: ​ Stage 1 — Stable Releases (April 8) ​ @StellarOrg publishes the new software builds. Developers and infrastructure operators can start upgrading their systems. ​ Stage 2 — Testnet (April 16) ​ The upgrade goes live on Testnet first. This is the sandbox, where everything gets stress-tested before real funds are ever involved. If something breaks, it breaks here, not on Mainnet. ​ Stage 3 — Mainnet Vote (May 6) ​ Validators arm their nodes with the upgrade command and vote. If consensus is reached at 17:00 UTC, Protocol 26 goes live on the real network that same day. ​ Matt 🦞🤤: What do I need to do as a LOBSTR user? ​ Nothing. Regular users don't interact with the upgrade process at all. LOBSTR handles it on the backend. ​ Jake 🦞🤓: And if you run Stellar infrastructure? ​ Upgrade Stellar Core, Horizon, RPC, and Galexie to the Protocol 26 builds before May 6. SDK users should also pull the latest versions. ​ 4️⃣ The Bigger Picture ​ Yardstick doesn't arrive in isolation. It's part of a clear progression: ​ Protocol 23 (Whisk) — parallelism, 2000+ TPS, faster Soroban Protocol 24 — stability and state archival foundations Protocol 25 (X-Ray) — privacy on Stellar, the first of its kind Protocol 26 (Yardstick) — configurable network parameters, dynamic calibration ​ Each upgrade builds on the last. ​ The goal is a network that's faster, cheaper, more private, and more adaptable than anything traditional finance runs on. ​ Stellar has shipped multiple protocol upgrades per year consistently. ​ That's not maintenance, that's a team actively building toward a specific vision. ​ Ozzy 🦞😈: So while everyone is debating which chain is better, Stellar is just shipping? ​ Since 2014. Quietly. Consistently. ​ 5️⃣ To Conclude ​ Quick recap, what did we learn? ​ Jake 🦞🤓: Protocol upgrades are coordinated rule changes that validators vote on, not top-down software pushes? ​ Exactly. The network upgrades by consensus, not by decree. ​ Matt 🦞🤤: And Yardstick specifically introduces configurable parameters so the network can be tuned without needing a full upgrade every time? ​ That's it. Less rigidity, more precision. ​ Ozzy 🦞😈: "The yardstick doesn't change the game. It just makes sure everyone's measuring the same thing." ​ And on May 6, the whole network aligns to the same standard. ​ Class dismissed, dear LOBSTRS! Stay calibrated out there! 🦞🩵

Belasting of accijnsverlaging om inwoners te helpen? Nee. Zak geld voor subsidies voor bepaalde bedrijven en klimaat transitie maatregelen? Uiteraard.

@vester71 Lagere huur en onderhoudskosten pand, lagere lonen, lagere belasting en accijns. Goedkopere inkoop en leverings kosten… Fix the money

Kan iemand mij uitleggen waarom de benzineprijs in 2008 1 euro 67 per liter was terwijl de olieprijs op bijna 150 dollar per vat stond. En we nu bij een prijs van 98 dollar per vat 70 cent meer per liter betalen #iran #hormuz #

Namens gewone mannen, vrouwen en kinderen, die van de ene op de andere dag een nieuwe werkelijkheid intuimelden waar ze niet voor kozen. Namens kinderen die in een schuilkelder naar school gaan. Namens vrouwen die hun gezin en het land draaiend houden door te werken in fabrieken. En namens mannen die vanuit een baan met pak en stropdas, ineens in een camouflagepak hun grondgebied moeten verdedigen. Meter voor meter. En die dat doen, omdat zij weten en voelen, dat iedere vierkante centimeter niet alleen uit Oekraïense aarde, maar ook uit Oekraïense waardigheid bestaat. Dat is wat zij verdedigen. President @ZelenskyyUa, deze award is voor Oekraïne. Voor jou als president. En voor alle mensen in Oekraïne. Mijn hele toespraak is terug te lezen via rijksoverheid.nl/regering/bewin… Vandaag mocht ik samen met Elizabeth Roosevelt Johnston (de achterkleindochter van president Roosevelt) in Middelburg de Four Freedoms Award uitreiken aan de Oekraïense president Zelensky. Hij neemt de prijs mede namens het Oekraïense volk in ontvangst als ‘erkenning voor de moedige strijd voor onze vrijheid en democratie onder uitzonderlijk zware omstandigheden’.

@kluizenares koffie/babbel momentje maken, vragen of voorstellen en eventueel een handje hulp aanbieden opent deuren.

Sinds gisteren nieuwe achterburen. Wanneer is het acceptabel te vragen of ze de nonen willen snoeien, omdat wij ook graag een zonnetje in de tuin willen. (Het blad zal binnen enkele dagen alles blocken)

@georgevanhouts Niet geheel waar, de toepassing, arbitrage en opzet kan volledig in eigen beheer gezet/genomen worden. Als de getokenizede represantable van je gestolen wordt ben je blij met een clawback als dit om bijvoorbeeld de tennaamstelling van je auto gaat of je account paskey.

The Great Taking: als je alleen nog zogenaamd "eigenaar" bent van je "bezit". Na tokenizing en digitizing kan je bezit centraal "gemanaged" worden. Eigendom wIl zeggen dat je erover kunt beschikken zoals een tientje in je broekzak. Dat bestaat dan niet meer.
