The Signal Magazine
For ages, change and uncertainty have shaped our modern landscape, and throughout history, media has played a key role in how we navigate this ever-evolving world and envision its future. In today's fast-paced and unpredictable environment, media increasingly influences our perceptions, understanding, and connections with one another. Recent advancements in technology and shifts in culture are altering this dynamic in ways that were hard to foresee just a few years ago. Digital social networks, which are pivotal in distributing media to audiences, have developed sophisticated methods to use algorithms for predicting, influencing, and capitalizing on user emotions and actions. Meanwhile, the news industry that supports these platforms has become a battleground for various moral and political disputes, resulting in coverage that can feel confusing and isolating for many. In this atmosphere, there is a growing tendency to cling to rigid beliefs rather than engage in open dialogue, which often leads to conflict instead of communication. Trust in this entire system has been declining for years, and while data backs this up, it's also something we all sense intuitively. The Signal is designed for those seeking a fresh perspective. We are dedicated to the principles of liberal democracy and have a strong belief in human potential. Above all, we engage with complexity during these times of ongoing change and uncertainty. We recognize that no single person holds the truth, that differing viewpoints often carry valuable insights, and that our understanding is always clouded by the unknown. That's why everything we do at The Signal starts with asking questions, and every answer we discover opens the door to even more inquiries. If you think we’re onto something worthwhile, we invite you to sign up for our free newsletter or consider a subscription for full access. And don’t hesitate to reach out to us—we would love to hear from you!

As dictators and dissidents refine new measures and countermeasures for seizing or securing money and assets in their ongoing struggle with one another, governments around the world have been developing the technological basis for what’s almost the conceptual opposite of the decentralized cryptocurrency Bitcoin: a kind of digital currency that’s centralized not just in a private company but in the state itself. Central bank digital currencies—CBDCs—aren’t entirely new.

After the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the European Union responded by cutting off imports of Russian coal and oil, and vowing to phase out imports of Russian natural gas. It was a major shift for the Continent, which had for decades pursued a policy of building trade ties with the Russian Federation—and the Soviet Union before it—in hopes of improving political ties.
