Spoiler alert: it's not what you've been told by the US media outlets.

Why save in #Bitcoin?
"Bitcoin serves as a monetary lifeboat for people forced to transact and save in monetary media constantly debased by governments".

Why Bitcoin?
"Bitcoin offers the modern individual the chance to opt out of the totalitarian, managerial, Keynesian, and socialist states. It is a simple technological fix to the modern pestilence of governments surviving by exploiting the productive individuals who happen to live on their soil."

If only there was a form of money that was not subject to inflation, a money that actually maintained or increased its purchasing power over time, and wasn’t controlled by central planners.
If only #Bitcoin existed! 
Thank you! nostrudel.ninja did the job.

In case you needed another reason to stop using Facebook, here you go.....
"But, everyone uses Facebook so I need to be on it, or I'm left out". Doesn't this rational sound eerily similar to what we heard during Covid: everyone else is getting this experimental shot and I need it to travel, go out to a restaurant, concert, etc....
Be careful when following the herd, as they have no idea where they're headed!

Does anyone have insight into why nostr:npub1cashappn03s3cl2ljsdntv0v28e2um5lgx4vjctqjt23pcwzjhsqmtdg5l changed their settings, and no long allow those under the age of 18 with a sponsored account to receive #Bitcoin?
Using the nostr:npub18kpw3akvdsyk239lx0jgwksr74sq4nlha3r8u9g2rnrhztfpfhysy469c4 compound inflation calculator, a person making $50,000 25 years ago (1999), would need to make $98,500 in 2024 to maintain the same purchasing power . This example is using a 2.75% average inflation rate over the past 25 years.
Another point for consideration is the progressive nature of taxes. Someone making $98,500 is likely taxed at a higher rate than someone making $50,000. Therefore, the person making $50,000 would likely retain more of their income than the same person making $98,500.
So, who truly benefits from the combination of inflation and a progressive income tax system? 🤔
If only there was another option that was not subject to inflation…..

The Mises Institute recently released a new documentary, "Playing with Fire: Money, Banking, and the Federal Reserve".
This documentary does a great job of explaining the Feds role in our broken money system, and why a sound money system is necessary.

In a time when things often feel like things are spiraling out of control, it’s important for our mental health that we focus on the things we can control.
Here’s a great article from nostr:npub1z7eqn5603ltuxr77w70t3sasep8hyngzr6lxqpa9hfcqjwe9wmdqhw0qhv highlighting some of the areas where we can start taking control.

More #government handouts for #Broadband.
Wouldn't it be less expensive for #government to subsidize a #Starlink subscription, IF we are going to have #government subsidizes at all?
Only #government would think it's a good idea to prevent the killing of wolves, then use #taxpayer dollars reimburse livestock producers to protect their herds from wolves!
Too bad there wasn't a simply solution, like reducing the population of wolves?
Enjoyed nostr:npub15879mltlln6k8jy32k6xvagmtqx3zhsndchcey8gjyectwldk88sq5kv0n ‘s podcast on creating a parallel society. Jack hits us with some hard truths that will have you questioning if you truly want a parallel society, or are content with the status quo.
Great job Jack! 👍
When THEY keep us distracted, THEY can impose THEIR will on us. We must focus and unite if WE desire a better future.

When we are willing to set aside individual rights to "protect our democracy", we no longer have rights or a democracy.
