Yesterday, I watched God Bless Bitcoin in the living room.
My 8-year old managed to watch about 5 minutes and gave up.
My wife was in the same room, but busy, and didn't pay attention for about half the movie. Then she said: are you trying to brain wash me? She ended up on the couch, and started commented on every interviewee like:
So, it wasn't a real success...
While I enjoyed the spiritual comments, I don't think Bitcoin should be a religion. There are always gate keepers in a religion. And interpretations can lead to horrible takes, even pure evil.
At some points, it really felt Bitcoin was a cult. It's not. It's just open money for the world.
Next step, I'd like my parents to watch it. But I'm not sure this will resonate with them, for reasons mentioned above. I can't send them the link, or they'll ignore it, or simply forget. So, I'll have a watch party when they visit.

Thanks. There's no "+" though. My first try didn't work.
I also realized Amethyst put the correct code when copying the noteid 💪
My first thought was: It's about France. But then I got it.

I used this guide to connect NWC https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/v/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-account/connect-to-apps/mobile-apps/amethyst - works with Minibits, too.
Minibits from the land of smiles.
You know it's bad when ScreenRant start mentioning inflation in their box office data 🤣
By the way, I haven't watched Romulus yet, but the trailer is nice.

I got mine with Minibits wallet. The setup was easy to connect to Amethyst.
One week uptime. So far, so good 💪
Amethyst on phone. Primal on web.
I listen to a lot of podcasts during my daily walks, always trying to keep an open mind. Usually, I hop from one to the next, getting a ton of value and new ideas.
But I've been ruminating over The Bitcoin Standard Podcast episode 230 with Arnaud Bertrand for over a month now.
This episode really rubbed me the wrong way.
It even made me watch nostr:nprofile1qqsq52wnak9tu2uu7r0zk2xqla03zrk9ac7z4j9j4lf7zcws3s5jeygpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhscnmvgl 's reaction, just to make sure I wasn't losing my mind!
It's clear that Arnaud is a communist - and I'm still baffled why that ideology gets a free pass in France (unlike fascism, which is rightly condemned). He's all about central planning, essentially saying "govern me harder, daddy." He's got his rose-tinted glasses firmly on.
He raised so many red flags (pun intended) over 2 hours, without much pushback from Saifedean. It was tough to listen to.
Arnaud's bias was so strong that I almost didn't get any value from his talk.
The one decent point he made was about why people are fed up with Western politicians. He said there's a disconnect between what governments do and what people want them to do. And that's spot on.
But Saifedean's performance didn't help. He was gunning for the USA over their stance on Israel and Palestine. I get why he's passionate about it, but trying to paint China as a better alternative to the US was a bad move.
Let's be real - both governments are evil. Period.
I expected Saifedean to be more objective, but he wasn't.

Yes, but I had a pinch of salt before every bite.
Hey nostr:nprofile1qqsx2wyjt6lmvc05rrvv05r5hm3w3t7h0pcpmkyswrpd4ymd2u09tscpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3kamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu339e682mnwv4k8xct5wvhxxmmdqywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wscn3xgh good job integrating Nostr! Love the app since I started using it.
But there's an issue on the Android app: the back button in the navigation makes me leave the app, and not go back to the previous page. That's really annoying. If you can please patch this soon 🙏
