Quite a good video considering it came from someone who isn’t Muslim https://youtu.be/i_oO_Z_IeH8

⚡🇮🇷 Cost of the Iran war is now 900 million dollars a day. In other speak, the US spent its entire yearly budget for public education last week.

A great take on what’s happening. https://youtu.be/pp5XMHd8S_s

Brief biography of Peter Todd.

I wrote this as a reply to this account who was sharing questionable info. But they deleted their comment which left this post hanging. So I decided to post it here so that can’t happen again. It starts off quoting something they said. But there is a lesson for all about where we take news from and how/why we spread it. Don’t take information from propaganda accounts, even if they are Muslim. Being Muslims doesn’t make them immune to propaganda. And my specific message to @Implausible Deniability is that it’s not too late to clarify to your readers your slip up. In fact, I’m sure they would appreciate your humbleness and willingness to correct your mistake. I’ll leave you to read my reply below. 👇 Please consider my words carefully. —Reply to anti-UAE propaganda— “Although I question who’s running that place” may be all the explanation you need in understanding one’s motivation for such an overblown bias post as opposed to just keeping to facts. I was contemplating on whether I should spend time replying, as my experience in life has taught me that some just have a predisposition to throw shade that goes beyond being rational. But I decided to give you the benefit of the doubt. So please don’t disappoint me and genuinely consider my words on this matter. To explain my position, I’ll give you a real life example. Over 10 years ago, this was the headlines across western media. This is an example of the type of lies dressed in “truth” I’m talking about. So was this girl from Qatif a rape victim? Yes. Did the courts issue punishment to her? Yes. Was it due to rules found in the sharee’ah? Yes. So where is the lie? Her punishment was due to her having an illegal sexual relationship with a man. Both her and her boyfriend were in the desert doing their sin and then some other guys found them and apparently raped her (and her boyfriend as the story goes). So those guys were punished for what they did, but she was also punished for what she did, which was unrelated to her being raped. Her being raped just uncovered something else in the process. So whats my point? My point is, the clear intent here is to suggest that she was punished for being a victim of rape, or that women in Islam, if they come forward to claim being a victim of rape, they will also be punished for the accusation or whatever. Thats the propaganda. Using true facts to pain a false picture. This is what western media does. Back to your post. You strung together a series of events to suggest something about a country that you ‘question how they run things’ in the first place. You lead with your own personal conclusion, or the conclusion you want people to make, and used random facts (and fictions, as there were lies also) to make someone take that position. This is not what a muslim should be doing, and is more something that the west does. Maybe you didn’t realise it, or maybe you’re just a victim of propaganda yourself rather than one who wants to push it, but the fact remains, you had a conclusion you wanted people to make, and threw things out there to make people have that conclusion. So let’s look objectively at your post. Be honest to yourself and put your bias against UAE aside. 1) DFM down 10%. True. But what is the volatility range for that market anyway? Ie whats the normal trading range to establish whether 10% is even significant? No. In the past 5 years, it’s been within a sidewards range, going up 65% and down 35% (ie the reverse of 65%…its how %’s work), and right now, we are coming up to the middle of that range (Chart attached). Nothing significant. If we had broken below that range by 3% (ie less than the 10% you mentioned) that would be more significant as it shows a change in trend. But right now, we are still within this sidewards channel. ie, nothing to see here. 2) DFM circuit breakers reduced. I don’t know if thats true, but what is true is that circuit breaker adjusting up or down don’t indicate anything besides an attempt to mitigate irrational behaviour, which can happen in markets. Like I said above, the only thing that matters is if the trend shifts, and we would only know that if any market structure has been broken. So far it hasn’t. 3) Emaar down 10%. True. But again…is it relevant? I’ve attached the log chart of Emaar, and it’s doing much better than the DFM market thats just going sideways. Emaar is on the uptrend, and shows no sign of changing that trend. Chart attached. So far, the first 3 points are all lies dressed in truth. Let’s continue. 4) Emirates NBD down 10%. True. But I’m sure you know the routine here…I’ll just attach the chart and let you judge for yourself. 5) $75-77% billion erased in 48 hours. Is it true? Maybe. But again, thats not significant if the total value of the market was in the trillions, or if it hasn’t broken any market structure…like I said above. So the first 5 points were all just one point, repeated with different words to make the reader think its more than it is. And its all lies as well. So not looking good so far. But let’s continue. 6) Jebel Ali port shut down. True. But it opened soon after…So nothing to see here either. 7) UAE supermarket shelves emptied. An absolute lie. Anyone who lives in the UAE knows this is the case. 8) UAE imports 80% of its food. So what? Most countries import a large % of their food. Malaysia is practically a fertile jungle but still imports the majority of its food. At this stage, it’s just stating a fact with the hope the reader will fill in the gaps with the worst case scenario. One of the richest most influential country (for its size) won’t let its inhabitants starve. Qatar had an entire GCC embargo placed on it a few years ago, and within months they were producing their own food to fill in the gap. People adapt and when you have suitcases filled with cash, you’re able to adapt faster. This is a moot point. 9) Panic buying, long cues. It’s possible on the first day some people rushed out to buy food and water. I mean, that would be normal, right? But 7 days in, or even the very next day, is that still the case? Again, more lies. In fact, the leader of the UAE decided to have coffee with the people in the mall. 10) posts about the crisis gets you punished. No, but spreading lies about it would. As well as posting sensitive information that could cause harm, like reporting on locations of defence units. This is the official message from the UAE police. “Responsibility begins with compliance Photographing or sharing security or critical sites, or reposting unreliable information, may result in legal action and compromise national security and stability. Compliance helps keep the community safe and stable. Your Security is Our Happiness” Why is this a bad thing? This is to project the defence units, protect the public and mitigate any external propaganda forces, which is a real thing by the way. We all know countries are destabilised with ‘false news’ operations. So don’t add to it. It makes sense. Why does that indicate anything negative or what does that even have to do with the title of the post, that “the UAE is collapsing”. 11) Unknown source footage = instant arrest risk. Yes. Because arrest doesn’t equal a conviction nor does it equal any formal sentence. Arresting someone who potentially can put peoples life at risk is literally the job of the police. Unlike places like the UK that allow people to get away with literal shop lifting without even getting involved. Finally, 12) Dubai influences warned to stay silent. Yes, and why not? Why should randos start running their mouths on affairs they have no knowledge on, spreading fear and uncertainty. The UAE is a Muslim country, believe it or not, and often a lot of what people complain about it, including the muslim diaspora, are in fact islamic in origin. Allaah literally said in the Qur’aan: ‎‫وَإِذَا جَاۤءَهُمۡ أَمۡرࣱ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَمۡنِ أَوِ ٱلۡخَوۡفِ أَذَاعُوا۟ بِهِۦۖ وَلَوۡ رَدُّوهُ إِلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ وَإِلَىٰۤ أُو۟لِی ٱلۡأَمۡرِ مِنۡهُمۡ لَعَلِمَهُ ٱلَّذِینَ یَسۡتَنۢبِطُونَهُۥ مِنۡهُمۡۗ وَلَوۡلَا فَضۡلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَیۡكُمۡ وَرَحۡمَتُهُۥ لَٱتَّبَعۡتُمُ ٱلشَّیۡطَـٰنَ إِلَّا قَلِیلࣰا﴿ ٨٣ ﴾‬ And when there comes to them something [i.e., information] about [public] security or fear, they spread it around. But if they had referred it back to the Messenger or to those of authority among them, then the ones who [can] draw correct conclusions from it would have known about it. And if not for the favor of Allāh upon you and His mercy, you would have followed Satan, except for a few. An-Nisāʾ, Ayah 83 So it’s not for randos to go out to make public commentary on major affairs related to public safety. It’s for them to remain silent and/or refer to those in authority who it is their job to make people safe, and feel safe. It’s a part of mental colonisation to suggest otherwise. So I’ve spent my time to give a detailed breakdown of why your post was an absolute propaganda piece. It’s not necessarily your fault, because you just took it from this post on twitter (https://fixupx.com/antmillionsbot/status/2029615866711540116), but what that means is that you didn’t do your due diligence before copy pasting it on Nostr. I mean, you could of just read the comments to it to see how much it was just propaganda like this post https://fixupx.com/convequity/status/2029642405402791939 demonstrates, or even just ask Grok like this guy did https://fixupx.com/grok/status/2029656893421982139 and you would have seen it for what it is. But you didn’t. So my sincere advice to you would be to seriously ask yourself what type of ‘news outlet’ you want to be? Do you want to be a serious account that does serious work, verifying information, sources, giving the news as it is and not as you want it to be, or do you want to just be another propagandised BBC CNN clone, propagating Zionist agendas without even realising it. How you deal with this reply will say a lot, and I patiently await to see if there is any sincerity in your channel. I hope this advice can be seriously considered. Choose your next steps wisely. 📝 bb9b0433…

Went on Twitter today and it’s crazy the amount of unnecessary hate directed towards UAE and sometimes absolute joy over it being bombed. From Muslims by the way…crazy how that makes sense to anyone not overcome with jealousy and/hatred. Imagine celebrating a Muslim country being bombed…for whatever the reason.

If anyone has any issues with their gums, be it irritation, bleeding, or even infection (which is almost always the real cause of gum bleeding) then something I testify to work wonders is: 1) Salt 🧂 (I have always used pink Himalayan salt) 2) coconut oil Steps, mix some salt into the melted coconut oil. It won’t dissolve so don’t wait around hoping it will. Then apply it on the gums, preferably in between. Use those teeth floss things to get it into the teeth between the gums. After a few days you’ll notice some benefits, but a week would be enough for bleeding to even stop entirely. No need for chemical mouthwash or abrasive harmful solutions. Just those two ingredients.

Ok, so debrief. It’s been a while Joined the chaincode lab’s BOSS Challenge, and they had a two part project. First is to make a wallet that can get the balance of a taproot extended private key, and part 2 is to choose a UTXO, send some money to a taproot multisig and then spend that multisig. So completed part 1 in Python, and then wanted to push myself, so re-did that exercise using the Python code as a template to do it entirely in c++. Then did part 2 in Python. I didn’t have time to do it in c++, and unfortunately completed it last night, which was a week late 😢. But got it done nonetheless. So what I’ve learnt? • How to derive addresses, public and private keys from an extended private key. • Dug deep into the OOP of Python 🐍 • Learnt how to transfer my knowledge of Python code to c++ code. • How to compile code in c++ while integrating libraries. • How to make my own library in both c++ and Python. • How to construct taproot txs, bot the key path spends and script part spends. • Finally how to write out all the necessary code and maths to do all of it manually. So didn’t use any external libraries, except to hash, as I couldn’t be bothered to code that from scratch. But I do all the elliptic curve arithmetic as well as schnors algorithm for making signatures and verifying them. Alhamdulillah, the journey continues. I’m one step closer to transferring that knowledge about making a wallet to a production product. There is still a lot I have to learn that’s for sure. But getting there. Good to combine the technical knowledge with the Sharee’ah knowledge.

Allaah refers specifically to birds having their own language…something that was known for a while from the Islamic text. Yet another example of the Quraan accurately describing reality. A fascinating video also. https://youtu.be/jmys2abx4co ‫وَوَرِثَ سُلَیۡمَـٰنُ دَاوُۥدَۖ وَقَالَ یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ عُلِّمۡنَا مَنطِقَ ٱلطَّیۡرِ وَأُوتِینَا مِن كُلِّ شَیۡءٍۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡفَضۡلُ ٱلۡمُبِینُ﴿ ١٦ ﴾‬ And Solomon inherited David. He said, O people, we have been taught the language of birds, and we have been given from all things. Indeed, this is evident bounty. An-Naml, Ayah 16

Muslims think very deeply about Bitcoin, will the price go up, will we be in a bull 🐂 market or bear 🐻? Will Michael Saylor buy more or dump his bags? But what we should be thinking about is, have we paid zakat on it? When do we pay zakat on it? How can we give it in Bitcoin?

Every so often, when I receive money in fiat, I have this mini-dialogue in my head… “Should I smash buy bitcoin? Or wait until it goes down lower and I get a better price?” And like clockwork, I have to remind myself “I’m not here to ‘make more fiat! I’m here to escape Ribaa and to be self sovereign with my wealth, so when I’m asked on the day of judgement ‘how did you struggle for your deen in this world?’ I can say ‘I avoided Ribaa fiat even everyone around me told me it’s not worth it!!’” Guys, it’s 100% worth it.

Self sovereign much?! https://fixupx.com/fastbreakhoops5/status/200651772770847…

Whoever boycotts coffee from Starbucks yet does not boycott fiat is lying to themselves … just saying

I just finished chapter 10 in @savingsatoshi! https://savingsatoshi.com Done, alhamdulillaah. This was a challenging experience, and worth every step of the way. Loved the story, the tasks, the challenge. It’s worth it if you know python or javascript. I have to say, however, that the cohorts I did this year with @bitshala_org @CodeOrangeDevs and reading @jimmysong Programming Bitcoin, along with doing all the exercises and tasks in the above went a long way to completing this. It would have taken me easily more than double the time without that year long intro, maybe triple. So if you know nothing about the inner workings of Bitcoin, never engaged with a node via rpc calls, or have no idea what an OP_CODE is, then maybe read up on those things first. Besides this...This is a GREAT way to get into Bitcoin development. It will (or should) expand your mind in what you can do with Bitcoin, and the possibilities with this decentralised censorship resistant Halal money for everyone. And if you want to start this journey, check out above mentioned cohort with Bitshala, CodeOrange or Jimmy’s book. Bitcoin development is part knowledge about coding languages, and part Bitcoin procedures and protocols. How to communicate with the network

I just finished chapter 8 in @savingsatoshi! Code your way through the mysteries of bitcoin at https://savingsatoshi.com This one was a real challenge...Got there in the end

Great interview with Bruce and Saif https://youtu.be/Tb3soXtRqSw (Corrected link)

Tbh, for me, whoever didn’t know the US before now, must be totally blind…not slight against the brother, but I was never under any delusion about the US (or the UK) even before I became Muslim. https://youtube.com/shorts/Q7_QeSkcgnQ

If anyone wants to join the ‘Learning Bitcoin from command line” cohort. I’m taking part as a TA so all are welcome https://bitshala.org/cohorts/lbtcl/
