Don’t trust, verify. Patience is a virtue. 2C9F 255D 6FE1 B572 9226 BE7D CCFB B6AF 3CF8 03EE #nostr since 775029

Looks delicious! With hummus and baba ghanoush? Count me in 🤩😋

✈️THE SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT AVIATION STAGNATION

As I wait to board my 9-hour night flight - one that I’ve been told will have no internet connectivity in 2025 - I feel compelled to share some truly shocking discoveries about an industry that seems frozen in time.

🤯The Customer Disconnect:

Would you believe that while 33% of passengers complain about flight disruptions and 11% about carry-on luggage issues, airlines are obsessing over seat designs? It's like fixing the wallpaper while the house is on fire.

🤯The Technology Time Capsule

Brace yourselves for these shocking revelations:

- The FAA's NOTAM system is a 30-year-old relic, and they won't update it for at least six more years

- Major airlines are running on scheduling systems from the 1990s

- Southwest Airlines had to cancel 16,000 flights in just 10 days because their systems were essentially running on digital fossils

🫢The Innovation Desert

The numbers are staggering:

- New airline ventures have plummeted from 60 per year in 2016 to fewer than 10 in 2022

- Delta's outdated network cost them over $100 million in a single disruption

- Southwest's ancient router failure led to 2,000 flight cancellations, costing them up to $82 million

⚡️My #nostr 2sats:

As I prepare to board a flight where I'll be digitally stranded for the next 9 hours, I can't help but marvel at the irony. We have #bitcoin. We're in an age where your refrigerator can order groceries, but I won't be able to send a simple email or a zapp from what should be one of humanity's greatest technological achievements.

May your next flight be in a more innovative future.

Safe travels & godspeed! Hope you‘ll find a good way to make the most of this time capsule without being restricted by its technological inabilities. 🫂

Wise words & sound advice mate! This has helped me in countless situations. And what’s more, I‘ve learned that ppl often talk about themselves in such situations and thereby reveal a lot about themselves they would otherwise keep neatly hidden. So instead of letting my emotions run free & feeling offended, I learnt to take the hints & be able to peer through the smoke screen these ppl project & gain a better understanding of their inner workings.

💯% agree. It‘s puzzling to me that so many ppl even today don‘t get the core values & goals of the BTC whitepaper and cheer to more centralization of either BTC holdings or mining.

IMHO, institutional investors are in it solely for the financial gain. Any maybe some publicity to cater to even more supporters & potential customers. I have yet to see one who does it because he understands the true nature of #bitcoin and wants to futher & defend its cause. This is even more evident when nations begin combining both highly centralized BTC stashes with even more regulations (à la @note19h378hf50w5y5h77lhv2lw8293l6wlwm225gy405dn3k8jg8mpcsusn9qv).

Prove me wrong, but I believe the war for bitcoin (as it was originally conceived) is far from over, and unfortunately many ppl are becoming way too complacent!

Good to hear you‘re still around! We‘re doing fine & holding the positions. Take care & take your time 🫂💜

GM & PV ☕️🌞 Have a great day 🫂💜🧡

GM & PV my lady ☕️🌞 May your day be filled with endless sunshine & boundless positive energy! 🫂💜🧡

Sounds good, but then the article details the following: „The program, aimed at integrating digital currency into everyday transactions, will allow tourists to register Bitcoin through a Thai exchange and verify their identities before making purchases.“

Quite the disappointment, as this goes squarely against the original purpose of bitcoin!
