Surely there is only one answer. That is to exchange Empathy via Immutable Truth.
Everything thing else is abuse to do not.
Bitcoin holds you to account for everything that you do.
Sounds like religion, but without abuse.
Bytheway, love u.
Humans can paint life, however, can they remove the paint and exchange pure human empathy for the Immutable Truth of life without the paint.
Bitcoin did IT.
Empathy Squared.
Come out of that Pandora's Box, a Rabbit Hole of suppression and enjoy.
Come out of that Rabbit Hole đź•ł
Exchange Pure Human Empathy and more...
There is only one Human Construct that represents Immutable Truth and exchanges Pure Human Empathy in Rebuke of everything else.
That is Bitcoin, exchanging Pure Human Empathy, Globally, without Fear or Favour and fully Auditable approximately every 10 minutes.
Unlike Dorian Nakamoto who was falsely accused by Pure Human Empathy for Immutable Truth.
If you're still searching for the exchange of pure human empathy for Immutable Truth, you missed IT!!!
Title: Barter Exchange Before Money and Numeracy: How All Exchanges Were a Direct Exchange of Human Empathy
Introduction
Before the invention of money and numeracy, humans engaged in barter, a system driven by empathy, trust, and mutual understanding. This post explores how human empathy was the foundation of exchange in the absence of standardised currency and numeracy. Parity between the use of money and numeracy wasn’t achieved until the 20th century, significantly altering human interaction.
Barter Systems and Empathy
Long before coins were minted in Lydia (~600 BCE), humans traded directly, exchanging goods such as grain, livestock, and tools. In these transactions, empathy was critical. Without numeracy, people had to negotiate with an understanding of each other’s needs, making empathy the true “currency” of these exchanges. Trust, rooted in personal relationships, was essential for successful barter.
The following is in order of the Era, the System, Empathys Role, was Money Introduced and what was the Numeracy Level at that time.
Prehistoric (before 6000 BCE) Barter Essential for trust No No
Mesopotamia (~3000 BCE) Barter + Trade Central to trade No Limited to elite
Lydia (~600 BCE) Coined Money Declining role Yes Still rare
Roman Empire (~200 BCE - 400 CE) Monetary Economy Some role remains Yes Growing for elite
Middle Ages (~500-1500 CE) Feudal Barter + Currency Key in rural areas Yes Limited numeracy
19th-20th Century (~1800-1950 CE) Monetary System Less empathy Yes Widespread numeracy
The Role of Empathy in Trade
Barter systems required empathy as traders had no numerical metrics or money to guide exchanges. Trust between individuals was critical for negotiating value. Human empathy ensured fair exchanges, strengthened communities, and was the basis of survival.
Impact of Money and Numeracy
When money emerged, starting with Lydia, it reduced the direct role of empathy in exchanges by standardising value. Over time, the spread of numeracy—basic arithmetic skills that became common between 1900-1950—transformed how individuals engaged in trade. Parity was finally reached when people could both use money and understand its abstract value.
Conclusion
Before money and numeracy became widespread, barter was based on empathy. As modern economies developed, the personal and empathetic aspects of exchange diminished. Understanding this reminds us that economic systems once required deeper human connection—an essential part of early trade that deserves reflection in today’s complex world.

Importantly, Empathy could not be transferred in to Money as humans did not have the level of numeracy to allow that to happen and Money was not strong enough to accept that Empathy in any event.
Bitcoin exchanging Pure Human Empathy approximately every 10 minutes. Immutable and fully Auditable. 
Should IT be illegal, IT being Immutable Truth.
Exchanging Empathy by Immutable Truth, is IT different!?
Is gaming Toxic?
IT is not!
When you become a Bitcoiner, you sacrifice your hatred.
If you are a Toxic Bitcoiner, what's the game, what's left to be gamed!?
Nothing, it's the same, the words are just different. The only game is to try and influence people with words.
As such, a Toxic Bitcoiner is just a Bitcoiner who is trying to game something that cannot be gamed!
So, is a Toxic Bitcoiner different from a Bitcoiner and if so how?
Is there a different game of which I'm unaware?
Nostr:
Your Public Key
Your Private Key
Your Empathy.
Bitcoin:
Your Public Key
Your Private Key
Your Empathy.
The difference:
The ultimate security of censorship attack
One is valued above opinion.
One is the Pure Exchange of Human Empathy the other is not.
Both are a force for good.
One is subject to Human manipulation.
Know Immutable Truth is IT and exchange your Pure Empathy based upon IT.
Peace and have fun ❤
Nostr, just think about this. You have the power to express absolutely anything you want to say without fear.
Is it also true that what you say will not result in favour?
As always, that Pure Exchange of Human Empathy is upon you.
That is why Bitcoin Exchanges Pure Human Empathy, before you can speak of it and or illicit favour for doing so.
Nostr, stay humble 🙏
Peace ❤
Imagine if the laughing at decentralisation had produced Dogecoin as DogCatecoin!
The ticker may have been DogCat. The coins icon may have been a Dog and Cat kissing.
Mastodon may have been CatDogGone.
Imagine if exchanging Pure Human Empathy was as simple as liking and exchanging images and or icons of Cats or Dogs.
Bitcoin proves that exchanging Pure Human Empathy isn't that simple.
If you share an image of your Cat or Dog over the Internet, what are you telling the world?
This is a rhetorical post in search of exchanging Pure Human Empathy. I'm sure that I will be corrected if not.
Peace ❤
Exchanging Pure Human Empathy is rewarded.
Before Money there was Barter, obviously that was mainly before Money but it was also many thousands of years before people had numerousy.
Imagine trying to exchange things without Money and more importantly without any concept of numbers.
The real exchange is very hard to imagine as part of a Human Construct. If you try and forget maths and Money too, which is very hard to do, you will realise that the exchange is the pure human empathy of all parties.
Money has never been able to perfectly rate that exchange. Bitcoin gets very close to perfectly rating that exchange.
Nostr is trying to exchange the same Pure Human Empathy, but without the security and protection of the Bitcoin protocol.
This is not a criticism, it's an observation of the process of evolution, well that's my intention and what's in my mind as I type this.
The power to say and exchange what you want, is only a power in the long term if you do good.
The exchange of pure human empathy by, close to, immutable truth, is a power for good. I doubt whether you can abuse IT, but the power is in you, why would you try.
Peace ❤
For me, the value is "What Pure Human Empathy is being exchanged"
Is that what you mean or something else and or in addition?
David Starkey. IMHO the Star key isn't your public key. It's worth watching, even if you've seen IT before, just for the Empathy.
Good morning peeps. Part of this image is immovable, the rest is not, when you engage IT for long enough.
Not AI. IT is Immutable Truth.

Agreed. In my life so far I see it as sort of distilled to this;-
Discovering Empathy;
Exchanging Empathy;
Seeing Empathy and it's Exchange is abused;
Discovering Immutable Truth;
Exchanging Immutable Truth;
Discovering Immutable Empathy;
Exchanging Immutable Empathy and
Now I wait to see the Reality that introduces and what results.
Great Alex, how about a name like Brazen Descaradao. Great work as always, well done.
We are not in "late-stage capitalism" - we are in late-stage central banking. https://nostpic.com/media/4f44ff626cb4761bcba7451261b8ff35b798d798e12474d5aaad8ce9516ae4ca/1221527ad91297f532cd06ce07da600b3419e0ed842f69bad5e96e588276cfe4.webp
I absolutely agree, all forms of Money have and do remove part of the pure empathy that should be exchanged to lesser and greater amounts.
