Perhaps I'm still a bit of an NPC, but I'm still thrilled I just cast my vote in the Taiwan election 🥳 Taiwan's path to democracy is really special and hard-fought it's still amazing all the different faces of people willing to participate, can almost feel the energy at the polls -- somehow it feels that every vote matters. I don't feel the same way about my votes cast in the States Taiwanese don't see eye to eye on a lot of issues yet somehow after all the votes are counted they find common ground to chart a path forward.

compared to the last election cycle I pretty much haven't been paying attention in politics and even around the dinner table the topic is seldomly brought up (the aunts and uncles used to always discuss the topic-du-jour). It's been a nice change, who has time to pay attention to clown world when there's Bitcoin and Nostr anyways?!🤣

It's true, Taiwan could have easily become another North Korea if it wasn't for people standing up to authoritarians 🥲

Fun fact, the Republic of China attempted a nuclear arms program that got shut down by the CIA. That's a whole other rabbit hole 🐇 🕳️
