I have one of the worst passport in the world, that never stopped me from living and working in 13 different nations around the globe.
Today, some countries ask for 1, 14, 21 or 42 BTC for me to be able to stay. Fair enough, i get it.
One day, you'll pay me to stay because i'm a Bitcoiner. You just didn't draft the proposal yet.

LFG!!
Passports are shitcoins
Yes. Post WWI invention. Very recent that humans were prevented from traveling at this scale.
so shitcoin how in the states, our driver’s licenses, which are our main form of ID has enough info for anyone to steal your ID. lol. so dumb.
& as a girl or lady it’s even more dangerous since our address is on it too but we need to show it to go places & buy random shit. so fuckin lame. lol.
They've only ever been a tool of control and surveillance
Ahistorical public school bullshit. There have been passports as long as there has been writing. The first US passports were issued during the revolution. Post WWI there were understandably more controls between European borders than immediately before WWI but passports have existed throughout civilization from time immemorial.
"Passe porte" in medieval times were issued to some to waive entry fees a city ports, enetring territories just required a fee. Passports and border controls were enforced after WWI. 🤙🏻

As if there were infiltrators abound in the past.
Photo from 1900
From inside the Hijaz train, which used to connect Istanbul to the Hijaz, passing through Syria, Palestine and Jordan.. In the picture there are passengers from the Levant, Iraq, Mount Lebanon and Turkey
They all ride on the same train without visas, passports, or even an identity card.
They move between the ancient cities of the Levant to Jerusalem, then continue the road to the oases of Jordan, to reach the deserts of Hijaz, Mecca and Medina, as if they were on a bus transporting them from one neighborhood to another within one city.
It was after WWI that a International standard was created. Yes there were citizenship documents before, but nothing at the same scale.
Being a Sovereign Individual before it was cool.
Passports are outdated artifacts.
It is time passports are replaced with public key cryptography.
#Bitcoin fixes this too.

Imagine the level of unwarranted self-importance in believing being a shitcoiner is special or makes you a useful citizen.
Hey Paul. Welcome to Nostr 🤙🏻

You got stuck on that typo? I'm sorry Paul, you're not just "a" amongst friends but amongst humans. Now how about we set up your LNURL so i can even zap you? How about that?
