Thankful that nostr:npub1n8vhptkhdz8nqjd9l4qfmr4xnz6mwuwyjm6mpjddm5kqa670w4dq2f8cap and nostr:npub12ym4gud920vsfrudtuey6xc99aamgxtemfg056sgxgd855u93vpq7m2gc5 Ali came by last night to talk Bitcoin with my MP and the Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party of 🇨🇦, Melissa Lantsman and their staff.

I printed off some of nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe‘s work, and some of my own as resources, and then after our private meeting I took a coalition of 21 bitcoiners and friends/family to a Gala to hear about Pierre Poilievre’s plans and let the politicians know Bitcoiners show up.

It was a great meeting and there was lots of remarks like “it’s so great to see so much diversity” “it’s so nice to see young people get active.”

Bitcoiners need to get active in local politics to help influence public perception about bitcoin & make our voices heard.

Bitcoin is a grassroots movement.

We may have opted out of politics by voting with our fiat - but the world is changing and we are seeing the erosion of property rights & free speech.

Unless you plan to leave your country, you should consider getting active locally.

It took me about a year for my MP to take me seriously and take my calls.

Show up.
