I would also like to express my gratitude to Rodolfo and his family at nostr:npub1h53ug2ssl00u0ja30fsaapfckw9zsfa38mf8lu4j5q2m36hx5lzq8l0v4p and the El Salvador healthcare system.
I had (what we think was) a tic bite. Rodolfo forwarded the pictures of the bite (that had been growing for a few days) on WhatsApp to the doctor in a nearby village. They asked me to go in and see me the same day. Rodolfo took me there and translated for me (my Duolingo level of Spanish wouldn’t have cut it).
The nurse logged me on the system, and then I had a consultation with the doctor a few minutes later with no queue. He was very thorough and explained the diagnosis.
We then were given the antibiotics medication for which there was no charge (I have made a donation to cover the costs of the consultation and medication to Bitcoin Smiles nostr:npub1vh5nvfd8yt3j3neq5zj2vw4h0n3jvtvfjgje6hp9cp7yv8kguarqnsan97).
In the UK, the appointments would be booked up for weeks (literally), unless you can convince the receptionist it’s an emergency (I would not have known), and you certainly wouldn’t be able to ping the doctor on WhatsApp to check.
I am very grateful to Rodolfo, his family, and the El Salvador healthcare system. Tic bites can have Lymes disease which can be nasty if left untreated.

It was shared from its local relay to my local relay via Bluetooth (and Negentorpy)
I were able to recover it with Amethyst and broadcast it to my online relays.
Everything thanks to nostr:nprofile1qqszfrv3m6acxyqy4ghuega2n74rntkrfg9sp4pmse94vul56gnul8cpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsxej3h9 🥳 I think I'm getting closer to an alpha version

THIS NOTE ONLY HAS TWO COMMENTS HMMM NOSTR IS OBVIOUSLY DOWN
Yes it sounds like it would have worked much better. I just installed the nostr:nprofile1qqsr70lh4keezkwy9s92zm2ncpyrh7l6647ly257n6fkfgcxws0t9ncppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp07y0hqq mobile wallet, sent some on chain sata to it, and paid for some mullvad time. Would be great to know what kind of exposure this implies. If the money is eventually converted to fiat, then the bank account could obv be frozen, but if the recipient takes lightning or liquid then it would be pretty bulletproof. Does the hop thru liquid and lightning obfuscate things enough that it could be sent to a bank account or cc pmt that would be hard to whack-a-mole?
yeah I'm not 100% but I imagine the use of mints, although not self custodial would be more private
nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg
So, during the Canadian truckers protests, if they had used lightning or cashu, I'm assuming that would've been harder to chokepoint, compared to onchain?
It looks like they were able to still transact onchain but when they tried to convert to fiat on an exchange the authorities were able to restrict it.
First lesson there is don't convert it but I guess they had shit to buy
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Going down the rabbit hole doesn't mean just learning Bitcoin, gotta learn gold and fiat too, so you can unpick the last few decades and work out what the fuck these retards have been doing
yeah there's a lot of choice, I love it

The Numbers: Debt vs. Boomer Wealth
First, let’s get a sense of the scale we’re dealing with as of March 13, 2025.
United States: The US national debt is hovering around $34 trillion (it’s been climbing fast, and that’s a conservative snapshot from late 2024 data). Boomers—born 1946–1964, now aged 61–79—hold a massive chunk of wealth. Estimates vary, but they’re said to control about $84 trillion in assets (some say $77 trillion, others up to $90 trillion depending on how you slice it). Let’s go with $84 trillion for now. That’s more than double the national debt, so theoretically, their savings could wipe it out and leave a hefty surplus.
United Kingdom: The UK’s national debt is roughly £2.8 trillion (about $3.6 trillion USD at current exchange rates). Boomers’ wealth here is trickier to pin down precisely, but they’re part of the older cohorts holding significant assets—think property, pensions, and investments. Across all UK households, total wealth is estimated at £15 trillion ($19 trillion USD), with Boomers likely owning half or more, say £7.5 trillion ($9.5 trillion USD). That’s enough to clear the debt 2–3 times over.
European Union: The EU’s collective public debt is tougher to aggregate since it’s spread across 27 member states, but Eurostat pegs it at around €14 trillion ($15 trillion USD) as of late 2024. Boomers in the EU (same age group) hold substantial wealth, especially in countries like Germany, France, and Italy. Total household wealth in the EU is estimated at €60 trillion ($64 trillion USD), with Boomers possibly controlling 40–50%—let’s call it €25 trillion ($27 trillion USD). Again, that’s nearly double the debt.

P.o.v
Use the Boomers savings to pay off the national debt.
Back in the day was there massive division between precious metal collectors?
It's almost following the same playbook word for word.
Goldbugs vs Silverites were famously always squabbling.

did my first yoga session you say? that's stretching it a bit!
He asked about slides, not guides.
Maybe these can be some inspiration for making some slides.
