Received C.J.H. Wright’s new book on Habakkuk today. Looking forward to listening to it this evening!

You need both. I can easily imagine a couple each wearing one of those designs.

is this only available for Canadian customers?

"If you live in a place where the government silences its critics by threatening their assets or where you cannot trust the local banking system, you understand the importance of financial freedom to democracy,” said Kreps. “We want to study how people in these countries are using Bitcoin and stablecoins in the pursuit of their financial security.”

The great irony of this is that it increasingly describes the United States.

Wow. It is difficult to comprehend how an educated individual can get such fundamentals so profoundly wrong.

While a short-range look around the world suggests that chaos is increasing (and in pockets it does), a long-range perspective reveals that every epoch of societal evolution advances the available access to increasing degrees of justice.

Another way to say this is that the Gospel is advancing around the world, though often in almost unrecognizable guises. The Kingdom of God will not by stymied and the Gates of Hell will not prevail.

Technological advancement has often been the instrument of societal advancement. We might look at history as the dramatic results invoked by the wheel, ocean-going ships, the printing press, the Industrial Revolution, the Internet, and now by Bitcoin.

Seriously, Bitcoin is the Internet of Money, except it is intentionally designed to be resistant to control by centralized juggernauts of power. Bitcoin will change the world to the same degree, if not more, than did the Internet.

In order to understand what I am talking about you absolutely must invest 30 minutes of your life to watch the following video. It is the distillation of a 538-page book, so it's information-dense, but imagine the time discount you will receive! Furthermore it is graphically represented along the way, making it that much easier to consume and comprehend.

To understand what is happening in our world, one must understand what money is, how the monetary system works, how monetary systems have developed over time, and what is underway right now in terms of the next stage of the globally-realized increase in justice pertaining to exchange among humans and the communities they inhabit. This video delivers all of that. I urge you to set aside time to watch with intense focus.

Let me put this another way... Imagine if the American system of government (a Constitutional Republic) could have been brought into existence without a war. That is the scope and nature of the opportunity in front of us. You and I have the opportunity to become contributors to the next stage of relational evolution in a manner similar to the roles played by John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington. We cannot predict who history will remember but we can do our part anyway and let others tell the story(ies). This is no exaggeration, but you will have to watch the video to the end in order to understand.

Go and partner with God in the repair of the world by doing your part in your life. Cultivate your Garden of Faithfulness.

I agree.

npub13wl6gy2kp02zafh6vr8jfh58mzxxeza7as5mmx325xyq9x4z9rxqgpnp8z is a fraudulent scammer pretending to be Rajat Soni. Be warned.

Be careful out there, folks! Don't trust; verify.

. The fraudster is stealing the real Rajat's actual messaging and posting it on Nostr.

Please be aware that this is not the real Rajat Soni.

Note the lack of an "i" in the username. I just spoke with the actual Rajat and while he has a Nostr account, he basically doesn't use it.

Ha! I'm in a hospital waiting room awaiting the birth of my second grandchild and first grandboy, as I see this! Congratulations!

Now you're asking a different question...

Basically. One cannot have a right that prevents another from having the same right.

Dig it!

nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn , I’m curious to hear your thoughts on why Cashu instead of Fedimint…

This assertion is fundamentally incoherent but the actual right to free speech means you’re free to express it.

Thanks for the recommendation! Enjoyed their conversation!

the processing of constructive criticism is a good sign of health

It’s phenomenal, set it up last night; phenomenal experience

I normally screen-shot every setup so that repeating for family or teaching others is ready-to-go. There was no need. Setup is flawless and simple; completely realistic to simply follow on-screen instructions. Color me impressed.

Trusted Contacts is brilliantly executed, as well.
