So why the HUGE uptick from $600B in Q1 2022 to $929B Q1 2023? Is that all Grandpa Joe? Build Back Broke? The pandemic was largely over by Q1 2022.

Awesome job on this, nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx

Thank you for doing this, and please keep it up. I believe content like this is what will help spread the word on Bitcoin and help fight the FUD. Content like this makes Bitcoin most approachable for most people, because in all honesty most folks won't understand or care about the technical stuff. What they will relate to and understand is what they are experiencing in their lives and videos like this help them to understand what is really going on and see through the lies.

Hey, I'm at work in that big tall building with the pointy things on top. 😃

Somehow we have gone from a world where governments fear their citizens to a world where citizens fear their governments. Governments now have control of citizens and that power and control is growing every day across the globe. Too many people are ok with this as they don't have the emotional energy (or intelligence) to realize the implications and resist. Sadly a critical mass of people would rather live off the handouts of the government than work hard and be free and independent.

“Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.”

― Sigmund Freud, Civilization and Its Discontents

While this makes me sad to think about the world my children are growing up in, Nostr and bitcoin (and the plebs supporting them and evangelizing them) give me hope for a better world. Fingers crossed that enough of the rest of the world takes notice, cares and gets involved before it is too late and we all succumb to the greed and corruption of the ruling class.

In a way doesn't that risk make you feel more alive, like with sky diving, scuba diving, etc? I do all three (flying, sky and scuba diving) and enjoy that feeling of "living a little." I also value the opportunity to see the world from a different perspective....not my usual perspective on the ground.

But there is still hope....with his senility he might forget he announced that he's running again.
