A few thoughts after trip to UK and Spain. Both still amazing countries to visit with great culture, architecture and food (yes, UK is pretty damned good these days).

Conversations suggest people finally waking up to the vaccine damage. Lots of talk in both countries of strokes, cancers and heart attacks although anecdotally, seemed more prevalent in Spain. People are definitely struggling with inflation and although shocked to see steaks in tamper proof containers in UK requiring the counter staff to open, having to point to photo of olive oil desired in Spain and waiting for store worker to go and retrieve was possibly more shocking. So obviously, pretty easy to see where crime level is. 1 friend in Spain recently burgled and uber driver telling me he warns all incoming visitors about theft and safety. That's new to me and not the place I lived in for 15 years.

So then money. I am surprised so many people are still so incredibly ignorant about bitcoin. That being said, I found it easy to get people to think about money by simply asking when they'd bought their house and for how much. I converted to gold equivalent when they bought and did the same with current price. Once people see how much their house value has dropped when not denominated in confetti currency, they start to think about money and the conversation about bitcoin is easier. For those not interested, well I got a couple of people buying gold. Second best is still on the podium!

I saw articles about UK economy posting GDP growth for the first quarter and asked various people what they thought. Once they said it was positive, we looked up the projected deficit for 2024 and they sobered up at being gaslit about economic performance once the realise it's a sham based on deficit spending.

I don't really see europeans waking up soon enough to avoid a lot of suffering myself. I hate saying that as a european myself but they do seem to be sleepwalking into disaster and still talk about voting as if there's any form of betterment through selecting which jailor to have and essentially giving consent to being ruled by the parasites up top. I don't know where this goes over the next few years but I can imagine a world where many europeans stop criticising american's love of personal gun ownership.

Stay humble all, stack sats and build community cause this edifice is looking pretty shaky! And remember to start the conversations, share knowledge and learn from others, it's the only way.
