## Tour in Chinese Writing Styles

As the bronze casting technique around the 11th century BC the [bronze inscriptions](https://grokipedia.com/page/Chinese_bronze_inscriptions) were developed, which were used to write texts for politics, trade, military, administration, and oracles.
|
||||
|
||||
At the time of the Seven Kingdoms (475-221 BC), brush and ink were invented and written on bamboo, wood, and silk.
|
||||
|
||||
However, there were many spellings of the characters, which was not conducive to exchange and trading. King Zhou Xuanwang tried to solve this problem through the [large seal script](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_seal_script), but he did not succeed. As Emperor Qin Shin Huang unified the empire in 221 BC, he ordered a uniform font. Chancellor Li Si eliminated characters and reduced strokes, thus founding the [small seal script](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_seal_script).

|

The small seal is indeed beautiful by its curved lines, but was cumbersome to write in everyday use. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the [clerical script](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clerical_script), had much straighter lines and was easier and faster to write. This font further abstracted many characters.

|
||||
|

At the same time, the _cursive script_ was invented, which is called [grass font](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursive_script_(East_Asia)>). It was used for private correspondence, but written by the common people. In this font, the strokes are connected. It looks like the brush has not been lifted off the paper.

One of the concepts is asymmetry. This style is a trend in 2020, but countless designers copy the style without understanding what makes it beautiful. The philosophical concept behind this is the idea of imperfection and irregularity. Nature creates random things that look chaotic, and humans create something straight and geometrical. Asymmetry is placed in the middle: intentional imperfection. Zen has a similar concept in [Ensō](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ens%C5%8D), the imperfect circle, drawn by a calligraphist with a brush.

RSS and Atom can be used interchangeably, even though there are slight differences that don’t have to bother a non-tech person. It’s a file that is updated by the website you want to subscribe to and regularly checked for updates by your RSS Reader or RSS Aggregator. If you’re curious about how a file looks like, you can have a look at [my RSS feed](https://www.stefanimhoff.de/index.xml).

It has become a tool for the wealthy elite to maintain their power and wealth at the expense of ordinary people. There is no area of life that the EU does not seek to control. From how people live and what they eat to how they manage their health, heat their homes, and choose their cars, there is likely a task force or group advocating for regulations on every conceivable issue. This often occurs against the wishes of the overwhelming majority of European citizens who reject these measures.

Additionally, Germany exhibits an unusually high level of obedience. This trait began in the Holy Roman Empire, where fragmented small states with local rulers ingrained loyalty to authority in the German psyche. Prussian militarism and bureaucracy in the 18th and 19th centuries emphasized discipline, order, and obedience to authority. Nationalism in the 19th century fostered a sense of national identity tied to the state. The failure and instability of the Weimar Republic led many to crave strong, stable authority, paving the way for the acceptance of authoritarian rule. The Nazi regime exploited and amplified obedience and authority, using propaganda and terror to ensure conformity. After the war, Germany was rebuilt on democratic principles while valuing order, rules, and the state. It transitioned to a mixed economy that is predominantly socialist and becoming increasingly so.

The task of educating people about libertarianism and economics is hard, but it is the last effort to save this country from decaying into a third socialist dictatorship. To achieve success, libertarians need to fight against the Marxist tactic applied for more than 60 years: [the long march through the institutions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_march_through_the_institutions). We need to focus especially on young people who are fed up with being robbed of their hard-earned labor and wealth.

|

|

The greatest challenge is addressing the reinterpretation of words by socialists. For example, when they mention “capitalism,” they actually refer to “crony capitalism” or “state capitalism,” not the free market. This concept aligns more closely with corporatism, the economic aspect of fascism as defined by Giovanni Gentile. In this system, the state and corporations work together, using lobbying and cronyism to obtain special privileges, protections, and subsidies. This sharply contrasts with free market capitalism, where the market functions without state intervention, and competition and innovation drive progress. True capitalism involves voluntary exchanges between individuals and businesses, with prices determined by supply and demand. It rewards hard work, creativity, and entrepreneurship, rather than depending on state intervention and favoritism. Only a society where everyone is free aligns with human nature.

Bitcoin is the new digital form of gold. The younger generation of libertarians typically prefers Bitcoin to gold, with many investing their entire income exclusively in it. While Bitcoin was a much riskier investment ten years ago, it is now safe to say that it is here to stay. The most notable aspect of Bitcoin is its limited supply of 21 million coins, which cannot be inflated. Bitcoin is a decentralized currency that operates independently of any government or central authority.

Bitcoin was created in 2009 by an anonymous individual or group using the pseudonym [Satoshi Nakamoto](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoshi_Nakamoto). One of the biggest mysteries surrounding Bitcoin is Satoshi’s disappearance. Satoshi gradually reduced their involvement and stopped communicating publicly by 2011. Many individuals have been suspected or have claimed to be Satoshi, but none have been conclusively proven. It is believed that Satoshi owns about 1 million bitcoins, most of which have never been moved. This mystery enhances Bitcoin’s decentralized ethos and intrigue, as there is no central authority or figure. Satoshi’s anonymity is viewed as a safeguard against influence, legal issues, or centralization.

Individuals around the world mine Bitcoin, and its value is determined by supply and demand in the market. Miners validate transactions and secure the Bitcoin network through proof-of-work, earning new bitcoins and transaction fees for their efforts. The most significant recurring event for Bitcoin is the halving, which reduces the reward miners receive for mining new blocks by 50%. This event occurs approximately every four years (every 210,000 blocks). By 2035, Bitcoin will have experienced its 7th and 8th halvings, with the 8th halving likely to occur in 2036, reducing the reward to ₿0.390625 per block. As of May 2025, about ₿19,690,000 have been mined. After several more halvings by 2035, over 99% of all Bitcoins will have been mined. The last bitcoin is expected to be mined around the year 2140.
