People are taking drugs to lose weight instead of having a healthy diet and exercising. What a 🤡 world.

Yea, Germany's labour market is fundamentally messed up.

Germany's Economic Crisis Deepens: Unemployment on the Rise

Germany is facing a worsening economic crisis, with the job market showing significant signs of distress. In June alone, unemployment rose by 4,000, pushing the total to 2.73 million, an increase of 172,000 compared to June 2023. This has raised the unemployment rate to 5.8%.

Moreover, over 4 million people are now receiving 'citizen's income' (Bürgergeld), and another 3.5 million are underemployed. Many of these individuals are not counted in the official unemployment statistics due to being enrolled in training programs or other temporary activities.

Despite these alarming numbers, the government continues to focus on its ideological agenda of climate change initiatives and green economic reforms, neglecting the immediate economic challenges.

There’s this guy I had seen around town over the years but never spoke. He knew I was into Bitcoin and I knew he was into environmental activism.

We happened to run into each other and got to chatting. He seemed like a honest thinker and good conversationalist. He’s a biologist and I’m an engineer. We’re both thinking about systems, albeit from opposite ends.

Eventually we got into the Bitcoin topic. Specifically, its energy use. I mentioned how some companies are using the economics of mining to bring electricity to villages in Africa where it was not economically feasible before. I also mentioned that our civilization requires abundant energy for it to continue advancing technologically & socially.

He said he believed there were too many people on the planet and energy abundance would exacerbate this problem. I retorted with my firm belief that every person on Earth deserves access to energy. Anything less is a “fuck you, I got mines” attitude.

I don’t think anyone had said that to him before. He seemed shocked. And it seemed like he knew the argument was valid.

I hope he will rethink some of this before we run into each other again. Looking forward to another conversation with him.

Remember everyone, the best way to refine our position and beliefs is to have honest and open conversations with people we disagree with. No need to get angry, use it as an opportunity.

We ended our conversation with a smile and a handshake.

Ask yourself "How can I provide the most value for the most people?"

We are all One & when you adopt a servant leader mindset you serve yourself via others.

Adding to the noise that people are already subjected to is not valuable. Concentrating signal & filtering out the noise is valuable.

Know your strengths & use them to provide value to others. Everything else should work itself out over time.

I say don't get the jab, don't eat seed oils, don't eat sugar it causes cancer. they say "oh everything causes cancer" no. only things created after 1900 cause cancer.

Time to bring back the age old debate:

Cast iron or stainless steel, which is your favorite money transmitter?

So I'm new to all this, being interested in Bitcoin for a while and now learned about Nostr! Pretty amazing, love the communities around all this.

I have also a question, trying all the tech around this, trying to get a Lighting Wallet with Alby and now I have the choice (while creating my Alby account) to Bring my own wallet, Voltage or Alby (but require an invite). What do you guys suggest? I don't think that I will have tons of transaction but I believe in the Zapping so I want to be part of it!

Thanks for all!!
