This needs way more attention. Sitrep on the disaster relief efforts in NC from Bitcoin veterans.

It’s heartbreaking, they still need help out there. A lot of help. But there’s also an inspiring glimpse into the future here. They talk about the total and absolute failure of the response from the federal government versus the success and effectiveness of decentralized small groups like the Bitcoin veterans, linking up with other groups to make a real positive impact on the ground, literally saving fucking lives…

They also speak about the freedom tech being put to use in the real world, they’re setting up meshtastic networks and teaching people how to use it and they’re teaching folks about bitcoin and lightning and setting them up with hot wallets. Lots of orange pills being distributed

Please don’t let this get memory holed like everything else in our society, they estimate it’ll take 3-6 months to get everyone back on their feet and we’re heading into winter, cold weather is going to make a bad situation worse.

If you can spare some sats, please donate to the Bitcoin veterans, they’ll put it to effective, low time preference use. If you can’t, just donate your voice. Plaster this all over nostr and the other socials

This is it.

This is what Bitcoin was built for.

Not for whales to play around with in the financial markets.

But for real people, with real problems.

God bless

AC thanks for this. Absolutely agree we can’t let this go away. Hundreds if not thousands still affected and hurting. I had not been aware of BV but as a retired first responder with Cat experience (public and private industry) I have been looking to travel there and serve. Being aligned with like minded brothers and sisters would be life enhancing. Currently wife in the hospital so have to take care of the home front. Will pray and donate.
