This also brings into focus why ideas and development on LN can occur so much faster. The barrier to entry has been reduced to single-digit sats.
Same. The bakeries here in Mexico City are just too tempting.
Syncing Bitcoin Core as I type. Stoked AF to set up BTCPay Server on my Ghost blog. Saludos desde Latin America
I got nothing for you, chief. Bullish AF.
Yeah someone should’ve told you that janky dollars don’t make the cut at the cuevas! Now it’s not an issue for foreigners: a recent law allows Visa/Mastercard etc. to operate at an exchange rate similar to the blue dollar. Huge win for tourism.
Amen. No one rides out crises like Argentinians; they do it with style.
I wouldn’t have “got” Bitcoin as early as I did had it not been for the fact that I lived there 15 years ago and all my friends have heartbreaking stories of currency failure.
The country needs dollarization as a temporary triage (USDT use is through the roof), which is a stepping stone to a Bitcoin standard.
hell yeah. i do “nice cream” with frozen bananas and whatever i want added to that; turns out shockingly creamy AND ITS GOOD FOR YOU!
Once Odell orange pills her (I think she already said she’s open to accepting zaps?), she’s gonna be a feisty AF Bitcoiner and it’s gonna be a spectacle to behold; she’s already 90% there.
All governments are broke. It’s a fiat thing. I hope it means governments and violence are both going to zero inevitably.
Moving to Argentina soon. Feels like running back into the burning building, but I need to tell her story and educate people about Bitcoin and separating money from the government.
Hard agree. Murder out all the things. Started with my fútbol boots 25 years ago and haven’t stopped.
Just spoke with a friend in Argentina who tells me that people are selling property at such a clip that real estate agents simply don’t have enough time/energy on their hands to handle the sheer volume of showings being requested. Hyperinflation in full swing. Argentina needs Bitcoin now more than ever.
Say what you will about USD stablecoins, but they will be the bridge. Most Argentinians simply can’t take BTC’s volatility.
As if 100% inflation wasn’t bad enough, Argentina is now dealing with the implications of its worst drought in a decade. Friends who are privy to this information are bracing for a shitshow in the coming months.
So, ostriches are also the fastest flightless birds, having been clocked in at 43mph…that is horrifying, quite frankly.
Honestly not mad about the “nostrich” verbiage on here. I mean, it’s quirky and flightless birds deserve their day in the sun. The world’s biggest bird and I def think it’s gonna be bigger than that other bird. Bullish AF and mesmerized by how the Internet’s next chapter is unfolding.
