🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali lived during the height of the Islamic Golden Age, but his analysis of money, morality, and power feels like it was written for the 21st century. This video uncovers how a medieval scholar understood the psychology of wealth, the danger of corruption, and the economic consequences of losing integrity — long before modern economics existed. For anyone trying to understand today’s financial system, inflation, speculation, or inequality, Al-Ghazali’s ideas offer a shockingly relevant roadmap. Key Facts & Insights • Al-Ghazali argued that money is a tool, not the goal — its value comes from the trust behind it, not the metal itself. • He described hoarded wealth as “dead money,” warning that idle capital destroys circulation and weakens societies. • He condemned speculation and crisis profiteering centuries before modern debates on market manipulation. • He identified trust as the foundation of all economic systems, anticipating today’s concepts of moral hazard and information asymmetry. • He warned rulers that currency debasement is theft, predicting modern inflation crises with uncanny accuracy. • His writings linked economic collapse to corruption, not scarcity — a lesson echoed in today’s global financial instability. • Many of his insights predate Western economic theory by hundreds of years, making him one of history’s earliest analysts of money and power. #FinancialHistorian​ #EconomicHistory​ #HistoryOfMoney​ #IslamicGoldenAge​ #AlGhazali​ #MedievalEconomics​ #MoneyAndMorality​ #thefinancialhistorian​ "Pure signal, no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- It’s Not About Getting Rich. Most people still think Bitcoin is a get-rich-quick play. They want the charts. The hype. The moonshots. But they’re missing the point. Because stacking sats isn’t about getting rich. It’s about getting out. → Out of the system designed to keep you grinding → Out of the cycle of inflation, taxes, and dependence → Out of the trap where you need permission to breathe That’s the real flex. Not Lambos. Not six-figure trades. Not chasing 100x returns on the next pump. It’s waking up and knowing: Your wealth is unplugged. Your value is portable. Your freedom isn’t up for negotiation. Because fiat doesn’t just erode your money. It erodes your peace. Your decisions. Your time preference. You think you’re saving. You think you’re playing it safe. But you’re just… waiting to be drained. Stacking changes that. → One sat = one less reason to comply → One cold wallet = one less hand in your pocket → One habit = one path to sovereignty You don’t need to beat the market. You just need to escape it. Because every sat you stack isn’t about more. It’s about enough. Enough to move freely. Think clearly. Act independently. That’s not wealth. That’s exit velocity. And it starts with one small move that the crowd still thinks is “too early.” Stack to escape, stack sats. Anarko "Pure signal, no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- The Aldrich-Vreeland Act of 1908: The Emergency Money Law Before the Fed. In 1907, the US economy collapsed. There was no Federal Reserve to save it. Banks failed, the stock market closed, and the government was helpless. To prevent it from happening again, Congress passed a forgotten, temporary law: The Aldrich-Vreeland Act of 1908. Most history books ignore it, but this "band-aid" law actually saved the United States from total ruin when World War I broke out. This is the story of the "Emergency Currency" that acted as the bridge between the Wild West of banking and the modern Federal Reserve. #History​ #Economics​ #FederalReserve​ #Banking​ #1907Panic​ #Money​ #Finance​ #USHistory​ #Documentary​ #thecoinfinancials​ "Pure signal, no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- Belogradchik Fortress 🏰 See more: https://byvn.net/QcQx The Belogradchik Fortress stands on the Balkan Mountains and is one of the best preserved strongholds in Bulgaria. It dates back to Roman times. In fact is was built when its region was part of the Roman Empire. The Romans used the high rocks as a natural protection and built only the north and south fortified walls. The Bulgarian Tsar of Vidin, Ivan Stratsimir, extended the fortress in the 14th century. The Ottomans, who conquered it in 1396, were forced to further expand it. From 1805 to 1837, reconstruction and expansion works were carried out also by French and Italian engineers giving the fortress its current appearance. Its walls are 2,5-metre thick and 12-metre high. The three separate fortified yards are connected with each other through gates. The fortress is a monument of national importance, managed by the Belogradchik History Museum. 📸 Vladislav Terziiski "Pure signal, no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️

Remembering John Weldon "J. J." Cale (December 5, 1938 – July 26, 2013). He was an American guitarist, singer, songwriter and sound engineer. Though he avoided the limelight, his influence as a musical artist has been acknowledged by figures such as Mark Knopfler, Neil Young, Waylon Jennings, and Eric Clapton, who described him as "one of the most important artists in the history of rock". He is one of the originators of the Tulsa sound, a loose genre drawing on blues, rockabilly, country, and jazz. In 2008, Cale and Clapton received a Grammy Award for their album The Road to Escondido. Cale died at the age of 74 in San Diego, California, on July 26, 2013, following a heart attack. A posthumous album of previously unreleased material album called Stay Around, was released on April 26, 2019. "Pure signal,no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️

Krampus is a folklore character who comes primarily from German-speaking regions of Europe, especially Austria (Styria and Salzburg) and Germany (Bavaria). Krampus is also present in the folklore of Slavic, Hungarian, Italian, and Romanian speakers where those countries border on German speaking areas. In his role as St. Nicholas’s companion, Krampus’s main duty is to punish or threaten naughty children while the saint rewards good ones. It’s not entirely clear where the name Krampus comes from, but the prevailing theories are that it’s either from the Old High German word Krampe, meaning a hook or claw, or the Bavarian dialect word Krampn, meaning dried out, shriveled, or dead. In either case, Krampus seems to be named for some aspect of his fearsome appearance! You may be surprised to learn that American Krampus is entirely a 21st century phenomenon; as recently as 2000, the Library of Congress had not a single book about Krampus in English. Find out more about the Krampus legend in Europe, and how he became more known in the United States, by reading our Folklife Today blog:

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- THE DOOMSDAY DJ: TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE On this day in 1977, the Muppets single “Mahna Mahna” dropped out of the Top 30 after peaking at #26 on the Australian charts (December 5) If ever there was an ear worm song, this is it! Originally “Mah Nà Mah Nà" was actually a popular song by Italian composer Piero Umiliani, which first appeared in the 1968 Italian mondo film “Sweden: Heaven and Hell” (Svezia, inferno e paradiso). It was a minor radio hit in the US and the UK, but became better known internationally when it was later sung by by the Muppets… After hearing the track on radio, a Sesame Street producer decided it would be a perfect addition to the show, and was first performed by Jim Henson (Kermit the Frog, et al.), Frank Oz (Miss Piggy, et al.) and Loretta Long (Susan) on the fourteenth episode, broadcast on November 27, 1969. The following Sunday, Henson and his Muppets performed the song on The Ed Sullivan Show, and seven years later the song was part of the premiere episode of The Muppet Show in 1976, and then released as a single. In addition to peaking at #26 in Australia, it cracked the Top 10 in the UK, reaching #8. There have been heaps of cover versions, including from high profile bands like The Fray and Cake, and an uptempo punk/metal version recorded by UK band Skin in 1996, for the "Perfect Day" single (a minor hit in the UK – #33) This version is called “The Muppet Song (Mah Na Mah Na)". In Australia, the song was used as a jingle in television commercials for sunscreen brand Banana Boat in the 1990s and 2000s… #mahnamahna, #themuppets, #themuppetshow, #jimhenson, #muppets, #dailyrockhistory, #thisdayinmusic, #onthisday "Pure signal, no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️
