@ollama could you add an open source TTS model supporting many european languages and ollama-cloud support?

Would be a gamechanger to have LLM and TTS in one Ollama-cloud pro account.

The Soviet whaling fleet killed 180,000 whales between 1948 and 1973, delivering rotten carcasses that nobody wanted to eat. Soviet citizens had zero demand for whale meat. The ships hunted anyway, fulfilling quotas handed down from central planners who counted tons of dead whale as economic output.

This was bureaucratic box-checking that nearly drove multiple whale species to extinction. Soviet whalers targeted endangered right whales and humpbacks specifically because they were larger, helping them hit tonnage targets faster. The meat rotted on deck during long voyages back to port, where officials dutifully recorded the numbers and sent reports to Moscow declaring another successful harvest.

Central planners measured success in tons harvested, not consumer satisfaction or long-term sustainability. Factory managers got promoted for exceeding whale quotas, regardless of whether anyone actually wanted whale meat (they didn't). The feedback mechanism that normally connects production to human needs had been severed entirely. When bureaucrats replace market prices with administrative targets, you get mass slaughter with zero purpose.

You still see this today every time politicians promise to "create jobs" in industries that lose money year after year. When government agencies measure their success by dollars spent rather than problems solved. When university administrators chase enrollment numbers instead of student outcomes.

Remove the profit motive and price signals, and you get 180,000 dead whales rotting in the sun while commissars celebrate meeting their targets. You don't get rational planning.

Socialism is fundamentally destructive to the environment and inevitably leads to ecological disasters.

BCH Ecosystem Spotlight 💡: ParyonUSD (PUSD) 🧵

ParyonUSD is a BCH-collateralized stablecoin built on CashTokens, modelled on Liquity V2 and they JUST LAUNCHED ON MAINNET.

Users lock $BCH, mint PUSD, and the system maintains a USD peg through on-chain redemptions and borrower-set interest rates.

Stablecoins are a core primitive for any on-chain economy. They anchor liquidity, enable borrowing, and allow pricing to stabilize without leaving the system, and importantly help drive token economies.

The system uses a CDP model. BCH is locked as collateral, and PUSD can be minted up to 90% loan-to-value. Each loan is represented as an NFT with its state tracked directly on-chain.

Key capabilities:

• BCH-backed stablecoin with up to 90% LTV
• Borrower-set interest rates that determine redemption priority
• Direct redemption of PUSD for BCH at oracle price
• Stability Pool that absorbs liquidations and distributes collateral
• Loan positions represented as mutable NFTs
• Built across 26 modular CashScript contracts

The peg is enforced through redemption.

If PUSD trades below $1, it can be redeemed for BCH at oracle value. This removes supply and restores alignment. Lower-rate loans are targeted first, creating a live interest rate market between borrowers.

The design follows @LiquityProtocol , adapted to the UTXO model.

Liquity introduced one of the most durable stablecoin designs in crypto.

Since launch, LUSD has maintained a tight peg through market cycles, without governance intervention, without collateral rehypothecation, and without relying on off-chain redemption guarantees.

The redemption mechanism and borrower-rate market have proven to be structurally resilient.

ParyonUSD inherits that model and brings it to Bitcoin Cash's hyper effecient UTXO model.

Parallel instances reduce contention. This is how complex financial systems are expressed on Bitcoin Cash.

The protocol has completed a three-pass audit with Sighash Labs.

ParyonUSD is the most advanced DeFi application currently live on Bitcoin Cash.

A stable unit backed by BCH, enforced on-chain, and integrated into the existing CashTokens stack.

$BCH now has a second stablecoin that is enforced entirely by smart contracts, without a institution. This is MakerDAO starting to happen on the Bitcoin model.

@h4lvor @TheBCHPodcast @adam3us BIP-100 ftw

[Gugbrot @Gugbrot]

Yep, only the little brother #BCH kept on upgrading and is now years ahead in development.

[Hedgex.eth @hedge__x]

@nicrypto Bitcoin development has been dead for a long time, since Core failed to upgrade in 2017 in blocksize wars 🦖

I just reached out to Roger Ver and invited him on my podcast, and learned that he has a gag order and would be thrown in jail

The United States government doesn’t want Roger speaking about Bitcoin

Typically they cut out your tongue when you are speaking the truth

"When a man spends his own money to buy something for himself, he is very careful about how much he spends and how he spends it.

When a man spends his own money to buy something for someone else, he is still very careful about how much he spends, but somewhat less what he spends it on.

When a man spends someone else's money to buy something for himself, he is very careful about what he buys, but doesn't care at all how much he spends.

And when a man spends someone else's money on someone else, he doesn't care how much he spends or what he spends it on. And that's government for you."

Proof that "Andy Back" is Adam Back from Blockstream in the Epstein emails:

April 14, 2014: Epstein emails Austin Hill saying "you and andy can either come to the island fri sat"

April 15, 2014: In direct response to that email, Austin Hill replies saying (and correcting Epstein) "would be easier for Adam to make it from Heathrow to NY"

April 19, 2014: Epstein's now infamous email mistakenly calling Adam Back (twice now) "Andy Back" saying he will be on Epstein Island that weekend.

[Sal the Agorist @SallyMayweather]

Roger Ver was right about everything.

He was right about Blockstream, scaling, the Feds hijacking Bitcoin - all of it.

For this, he was attacked, prosecuted, robbed and silenced.

The crypto community doesn’t deserve him.

[Eli Afram @justicemate]

Wow. So Epstein who claimed to represent the Rothschild, actively worked for, funded the opposition groups to Bitcoin scaling...

Threw lots of money at it to cripple it, succeeded. And all the while, working the largest fiat currency group. Gosh it all just falls into place so well.

[Decentralized Dave @ClassicDavid3]

#BCH is crashing less than everything else in the current bear market.

Consequently, it's going up in the ranking. Back to #12, all the way from #30 it was in 2021.

[𝙲𝚘𝚕𝚒𝚗 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚜 𝙲𝚛𝚢𝚙𝚝𝚘 @ColinTCrypto]

This is crazy.

I knew from about 2015 that Core devs (Bitcoin's main developer team) was compromised and had sold out, but I never imagined the connection went back to Epstein, of all people.

See the emails below between Core devs and Epstein.

THIS is why Bitcoin stagnated on-chain scaling!
THIS is why they forced RBF (replace-by-fee) to eliminate peer-to-peer cash use!

Core devs neutered $BTC on purpose so it wouldn't compete with globalist fiat and banks. Epstein was just the frontman and deal maker for these powerful entities.

The individuals named below (in the emails with Epstein) either founded Blockstream or worked for Blockstream, with funding ultimately via Epstein.

• Austin Hill: Blockstream co-founder; involved in early entrepreneurship and fundraising.
• Adam Back: Blockstream co-founder & CEO; cryptography expert, inventor of Hashcash.
• Kelly Zakka: Blockstream early team associate; possible administrative/support role in founding phase.
• Ellaina Atra: Blockstream early team associate; similar operational support during startup.
• Francesca Hall: Blockstream co-founder & Team Coordinator/Operations Manager; handles coordination with 11+ years at the company.

@MarcDeMesel Indeed, its like always. Get the government out of all essential products and services if you want high quality and availability. Private highways is some EU countries work perfectly.

[Gugbrot @Gugbrot]

@MarcDeMesel So we are at a local bottom of QE oder a local top of QT. Should we speculate on some turbulence, maybe a market crash before the FED steps in again with QE to save the day?
It might come in handy to have a lot of cash in hand to "buy when there is blood in the streets".

@AmpleforthOrg "doing things that push the system further from balance costs more, doing things that pull it back costs less"
But there is nothing to gain for arbitrageurs. There is no incentive besides "it costs you less".

[Gugbrot @Gugbrot]

@bill_hicks555 @WuBlockchain Yes but doge is now the bigger brother. LTC would be even more vulnerable though.

[Gugbrot @Gugbrot]

@happysailin @Justin_Bons It was just easier to leave Bitcoin altogether for ETH or SOL than to acknowledge you have been fooled and leave BTC for BCH.
