Im SO much more interested in the details of the development of a circular #Bitcoin economy in a small rural community than what some sociopathic Blackrock CEO said or did now.

I wish this would happen in my rural community, but most people here just say "cash is king."
They don't like the idea of something not being physical.
Most of them are Christians.
I don't remember the last time Jesus was physically in the room with me, but is he real to me? Absolutely.
Why the double standard for Bitcoin? I'll never know.
think of it like this…
if not you, then who?
probably no one.
check out bitcoin.rocks for printed materials to help you introduce bitcoin to local businesses.

Very interesting. I live in a red rural area. This past week I went to speak at our county republican party about digital privacy and BTC. It was super well received and I had several people tell me they were interested, but didn't know how to buy BTC.
I think many people are in that category. I do, however, find it sad that people only understand BTC while it's up. If only they believed while the price was low.
I've floated the concept of a BTC economy to the president of our local bank, but he kinda laughed it off. Then I talked to a bank board member about it separately, and I found it pretty interesting that he suggested I talk to the local guy that does payment Processing.
It took me a while to explain that BTC can/will replace that system.
Has anyone here played around with #fedimint ? It looks to me like a decent way of setting up a BTC economy, but I have A LOT to learn...
Aside from Fedimint, it seems like orange pilling people and showing them how to set up simply self custody is the key.
