In Canada we have black markets for almost everything except raw milk

For some reason this is the one market the government is serious about preventing

But you can get free opium and assisted suicide from the government 🇨🇦

lol… wouldn’t be surprised.

I’ve had this same thought process, I’ve brought bitcoin up to a few colleagues but it just doesn’t land, or really sink in, in any way. I’d this was my company, there’d be an option to pay in btc on the website. I definitely wouldn’t bring that up to upper management, for now I just sit back and watch how this all rolls out 🤷🏼‍♂️.

Btw I put some references but if you scroll all the way down it shows the websites dunno why it deletes it from the text itself and makes it blank.

TLDR: Religion is the only thing to bring order in society as a Government following religious practices usually have individuals that are not easily corruptible, and these people want to work for the people to live in harmony and gain rewards from the creator for being a righteous slave.

___ Full message below:

Well that’s the problem isn’t it. There is no way of ensuring accountability as the current rulers of the world bend laws their way.

I believe in Religion, Islam to be specific. I believe scholars should have a committee like the first picture, and the most Knowledgeable should be placed as the leader voted in through democracy as someone who is righteous wouldn’t care about worldly matters. They would do what’s best for society by following what has been commanded by The Creator as they would humble themselves and do what’s right.

Obviously to even get to a stage where a nation thinks of purpose of life (I.e. is God even real) the whole system of control needs to change… I feel like ₿itcoin is changing that as more and more people are less reliant on governments or people who have the ability to control them. In turn this is unlocking minds to ponder about more important things; the purpose of life. Obviously this isn’t everyone.

One may argue well religion isn’t the best way to lead nations, and fair enough they’re entitled to their own opinion. But I believe continuing to read and learn about the subject will change that opinion in time for the vast majority.

I am Muslim, it’s hard being Muslim in my opinion, let me rephrase that, it’s tough practicing Islam in this day and age. There are many restrictions within Islam, but I still continue to do my best and practice it regardless of how hard it may make my life in this current time. I am born and bred in England, and have two cultural identities plus my Religious beliefs, so that hopefully builds an image of my thought process being open minded.

So, the opinion that would change of the person(s) that doesn’t agree with religion being the solution doesn’t mean the action of individuals would change immediately, but the realisation that what’s been commanded is best for society, economics, humans and our lives as a whole. For example, I believe people know Islam is the truth in their hearts at bare minimum (statistically the fastest growing religion), but don’t want to implement it or say it as their whims and desire are more “enjoyable” at that moment in time. What do I mean by this? An example, in Islam it’s not permissible to drink alcohol, if I’m a 19 year old, 2nd year uni, would I really want to follow Islam, or would I want to go and have with my friends that society is pushing me towards? The easy option is option 2, have “fun” with my friends.

Islam is attacked in the media, I personally think it’s because governments fear the truth taking over. Governments don’t want religion as the true message is too powerful once you’ve become well read. Hence in the UK we advertise ourselves as a Christian Country but we’re sadly not are we, we’re a secular country as there’s a division of the Church and State, therefore the state can control society with its man made laws. As Muslims by the way, we believe Moses (PBUH) and Jesus (PBUH) both conveyed the same message of monotheistic worship for their people.

Anyways. Let’s see how the world pans out, I hope we get to live to old age and die naturally whilst seeing a better world for the future generations. ₿itcoin will definitely help with this if it already hasn’t done so.

In my opinion, it’s worth the risk. Even if only one more gets interested. I think Karma will pay back in future.

Who is your favorite podcsater, that should be considered top-tier soon?

TAG THEM, we'll test their wallets for #value4value 😎

#podcasting

Conversation with AI to act as my coach, friend, journaling partner, discuss decisions, options, habits.

Building simple python apps just for myself, to do something, like check status of my Bitcoin node and send an alert, or check some stock prices.

Used instead of Google search for research on health, supplements, optimized training plans, etc.

Craft a legal agreement for something.

Things like that.

Nothing superb.

But useful and fun and time saving.

I'm mostly using chat GPT.

I also run mistral on my laptop using ollama, but it is less powerful, but private.

Correct, while using the hosted DeepSeek app, which is censored, I guess.

But, I have heard people downloaded the model, open source, and ran it themselves, string hardware needed, it would give answers.

One more thought came to my mind.

You see, content creators often use platforms such as Sprinklr that allow them to post one post, automatically, to different social media platforms.

It would be super powerful and good for NOSTR, if you or someone convinced those platforms owners, to add NOSTR integration.

Then, for content creators using those platforms, it would be zero incremental work to post also on NOSTR.

If love is not the root of all your actions, you already failed

Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps!

We're off to Hollywood Studios. May the Force be with you. 📽️🎬🍿

Every comment = ⚡️21 (for the next 24 hrs)

I will reply shortly, I’ve just got a few things to do today so I’ll reply within a few hours in hope. Just fyi I ain’t no scholar, but I’ll do my best to help understand, my answers may also be incorrect, I was asked these questions literally a few days ago by a colleague and I legit said I don’t know. But I thought logically about it and gave a logical answer - but I will also do some research this time to see if my answers is what scholars also say. Speak in abit !
