Uber cool. Who's work is this?

I think LNbits already has an independent Uber like app somewhere

Great idea! Gig economy certainly has its place on Nostr. How to organise it?

Give it enough time and crazy devs and even Uber can be reimagined here.

Just straight up orange pilled the Uber driver. He asked for my number so I can help him buy his first coins.

Hey.

Have you seen my Uber?

I need more tacos 🌮

Who makes the buck?

The Uber driver makes the buck 🧡😉l

I drive for a fancy car service with higher end clientele, so I see the exact same thing as that Uber driver. Though I don't make that much and it's probably not as extreme where I live compared to NYC.

Still though, the distortion of the money we live under also distorts minds. It's impossible to really know the true value of things.

Sometimes I encounter wealthier people that get it. I drove a 70ish yo engineer just yesterday and we talked about the system and he immediately knew what I was talking about. It was like we were on the exact same page about it all. It was quite refreshing.

I was recently in NYC talking to an Uber driver from the Dominican Republic who was telling me that he can make $200k a year. He has a sister who is an architect who makes $50k a year. He explained the difference….

As an Uber driver in the city, he is able to find people who have so much money, they don’t value it. He’ll drive a business man to a meeting, and they’ll tip him $3k to just sit and wait for him… be your own boss, provide great customer service, don’t take on excessive debt, find a couple people like that and you are set.

Meanwhile his sister spent 5+ years getting a degree, going into debt, and is under the mercy of her employer who looks to squeeze every ounce of work out of her possible and pay her as little as possible.

This is what #bitcoin has taught me about the current system, go and find someone who is as close to the debt machine as possible. They take out loans and get so much money from investors and banks that they don’t know what to do with it.

Whether you agree with it or not, that’s the system we are in. That debt Ponzi scheme may finally be collapsing, but until then, the way to get ahead is get as close to someone who has taken out a bunch of debt, collect as much of that fiat from them as possible without getting into too much debt yourself, and turn that fiat into hard assets while you can, rinse and repeat.

In other words, stay humble and stack sats. 🤙

Planted 🍅s and put out bird 🐦 seeds. Now I don't need uber eats and I have a peaceful office environment filled with chirping cardinals.
