When looking at Bitcoin, pick the right chart.
5 min - 1h chart = for high-leverage gamblers.
1h - 4h chart = scalpers and people with patience, low leverage.
Daily - weekly chart = stackers and hodlers.

Yeah I'm also not a fan of sending fiat money across the SEPA banking network to random people. It's a paper trail alright and you don't know your counterpart. He could be a drug dealer, money launderer, pedo... whatever. You don't know them, you don't know if their accounts are flagged and you're exposing yourself to creating a financial connection to someone you maybe shouldn't be tied to.
That part of "non-kyc" never made sense to me and never will.
How do you plan to buy the Monero?
If you can get some stablecoin (somewhere, CEX) then you can just flip that to Monero or Sats @ https://nonkyc.io/
But you still have that paper trail of buying the stablecoin. But, you get spot price on your swaps, no premium.

I remember seeing how British ex-pats constantly complain to their other ex-pat friends how everything and everyone in Spain is shit and how everyone is just scamming them. Here is the thing, they pay 2-3x the local rent... because they're renting from a fellow Brit. They have a British mechanic, British gardener, eat at British owned restaurants, live in their little gated communities and then tell people how you need €2.5-4k / month to sustain at the Costa del Sol. Makes you wonder who's scamming who?
And yeah, their language skill are pathetic like you said.

Many of my ex-pat friends in Spain teach English and they told me a few times "you should give German lessons, there is demand for that". I have no idea why you would teach your child German unless you plan to either move to that country or send your kids to that country. English? Absolutely, German? For what?

EU Governance in a Nutshell.
Jeremy Bentham’s #panopticon was originally conceived in the late 18th century as an efficient prison design. However, the principles behind it have had a lasting influence beyond just prison architecture, shaping modern governance, surveillance, and societal control.
Bentham proposed a circular prison with a central watchtower, where a single guard could observe all prisoners without them knowing exactly when they were being watched. This structure was designed to create a state of perpetual self-discipline, as inmates would assume they were always under surveillance and thus modify their behaviour accordingly.
Key elements of Bentham’s panopticon:
* Uncertainty of observation: The prisoners don’t know if they are being watched at any given moment.
* Self-regulation: Because they assume they could be watched, they behave as if they are being watched.
* Efficiency in control: A small number of guards can effectively control a large number of inmates without using direct force.
Bentham saw this as a cost-effective, rational way to reform prisoners, making them govern themselves rather than requiring constant external force. But the idea didn’t stop at prisons.
In Discipline and Punish, French philosopher Michel Foucault took Bentham’s panopticon and applied it to broader structures of power in modern society. He argued that the principles of the panopticon: surveillance, self-regulation, and psychological control - had expanded beyond prisons and into:
* Governments: Mass surveillance and bureaucratic oversight create a society where individuals conform to state expectations out of fear of consequences.
* Schools: Students are monitored, graded, and disciplined, conditioning them to obey authority and regulate themselves.
* Workplaces: Employees are tracked through cameras, productivity software, and performance reviews, fostering self-policing behaviours.
* Social norms & digital surveillance: Today, social media, data tracking, and AI-driven monitoring create an environment where people behave as if they are constantly being watched - even in the absence of direct punishment.
Foucault described this system as "disciplinary power" - a form of governance where control is internalized. People do not realize they are "prisoners" because they willingly participate in their own regulation, assuming it is normal.
Which takes us to The Modern Digital Panopticon: A Prison Without Walls
With the rise of technology, the panopticon has evolved into a more invisible and pervasive form:
* Mass Surveillance: Governments and corporations collect data on nearly every aspect of life, from internet searches to financial transactions. Even if people aren’t directly observed, the possibility of being watched influences behaviour.
* Social Media & Algorithmic Control: The way people present themselves online is shaped by unseen forces. Algorithms decide what content is promoted or suppressed, nudging public opinion and self-expression.
* AI & Predictive Policing: Machine learning analyses behaviours to predict criminal activity before it happens, reinforcing preemptive control rather than reactionary punishment.
* CBDCs and Financial Surveillance: If governments control digital currencies, they could theoretically monitor and restrict transactions, creating a financial form of panoptic governance.
In this modern context, Bentham's prison has no visible bars, but people still act as though they are inside one - adjusting their actions, speech, and even thoughts to fit into an acceptable framework.
----
How This Connects to the Quote: "A Prison Where People Don’t Know They’re in a Prison"
While Bentham didn't use those exact words, the panopticon embodies that idea perfectly. A system where:
1. The prisoners (citizens) don’t realize they are being controlled because control is decentralized, subtle, and psychological.
2. People police themselves out of the fear (or assumption) of being watched, reducing the need for brute force.
3. The illusion of freedom remains (as seen in Europe). Unlike traditional authoritarianism, where force is obvious, modern governance often appears democratic while maintaining deep levels of control.
This aligns with ideas from thinkers like Aldous Huxley (Brave New World), who argued that the most effective form of control is one in which people love their servitude, rather than recognize it as oppression.
----
If we accept that modern governance functions like an expanded panopticon, the question becomes: How do individuals resist or opt out?
* Privacy & Encryption: Using decentralized and encrypted technologies (Bitcoin, Nostr, privacy coins, etc.) to avoid financial and social monitoring.
* Decentralized Living: Reducing reliance on centralized institutions improving self-sufficiency, alternative communities, and sovereign individualism.
* Awareness & Critical Thinking: Recognizing when behaviour is being shaped by invisible forces (social engineering, propaganda, algorithmic manipulation) and acting consciously rather than reactively.
A panopticon without walls depends on consent disguised as normality. The moment you question that normality, you begin to step outside the system. But don't confuse understanding with escape. If your behaviour hasn't changed, the system still owns you.

A client using SQL is just caching data locally to make its own experience faster. That doesn’t help anyone else. Other clients aren’t reading from that database. They still go straight to relays to fetch data. So SQL doesn’t speed up the network or Nostr itself, it just means that one client doesn’t have to refetch everything every time.
On the WebSocket side, relays can't return unlimited data. If a client asks for too much in a single request, the relay will simply cap the response and not send everything. So WebSocket requests are kinds limited and they just stream whatever the relay is willing to send. If you want more data, you have to break your requests into smaller chunks.
