BTC, Lightning Network, Nostr. All the pieces for becoming a sovereign individual are falling into place.
Man I don't know, you've got me damn optimistic. Sending instant micro-payments for (basically) free, nothing like it exists.
This is likely it, with CBDCs and the surveillance state on the horizon. We don't have much time for anything else. We better make it work while we're so far ahead.
Exciting stuff! Directly connecting with your audiences whether you are a musician or providing eh, like you said, value of all sorts. 😃 It doesn't then matter where you are, you can create your art wherever you like and have a greater chance of succeeding than you would otherwise.
With CBDCs I'm torn though. If I were to roll such a system out I would not restrict access to money like you suggested for a long time.
I would do it when the general population has grown accustomed to using it, and even then gradually at first.
I hope the alternative is available for them at that point, because you won't be able to easily trade for BTC at that point. We will help them then but it will come at great personal risk, and not everyone might be willing.
But hey, I'm anyway leaning more towards the positive side, that is why I am here. I believe we will win and I believe the incentives are tilted in our favor.
That is true, the longer they wait the more ridiculous CBDCs will seem to the masses. The more education can take place. The more time we have to undermine the false narratives.
I think it's important that we recognize here, however, that you and I are not "normal" from a finance-knowledge perspective. We know FIAT is going to zero, I at least have little doubt. Almost nobody in my life though knows how money works, or frankly, cares.
But perhaps this is changing with all the cracks that are now shining through the current financial system. If we make everything about Bitcoin easy to use, then it becomes truly unstoppable and CBDCs will fail right out of the gate.
I'm starting to think so too. I guess because I'm a programmer I tend to look for problems in any solution.
I need to sign off for today, man, I've never responded to audio in this way before. What a time to be alive. Really enjoyed this, later.
Thx for participating, enjoyed the convo be& experimenting with this idea of audio notes. I also think there's a chance we may end up becoming more civil to each other on social media if we're simply able to listen to each other's voices & tones.
Word. Audio/video notes with integrated lightning payments have strong potential to change the way that famous people interact with their fans. That could totally disrupt platforms like Cameo.
Very cool to think about
