Same. I run a community of 25K flight attendants devoted to swapping tips for layovers and I think zaps/Nostr could take gamification to the next level. Imagine if someone leaves a solid travel tip for someone who then and goes and has a life-changing experience. The possibilities are pretty intriguing.
I think this could be a nice little bump for Nostr usage, how about you? I know for one I'm a reddit user who will prob look for alternative platforms.
In May 2023 Argentinian supermarkets raised prices 10% on average, pointing to a YoY change of 120%. The amount of human capital spent to simply keep prices updated is enough to sink many small businesses already riding the razor's edge.
If you listen closely, you can hear all the fucking $BNB shills erasing their bought promo content as we speak. Problem is that the Internet is forever. The evidence of being complicit with Binance's scams is overwhelming the effects of this will be felt far and wide.
Don't shitcoin, it's bad for you.
The Binance case sets necessary precedents to ultimately take down Coinbase because Brian Armstrong never understood Bitcoin and was a shitcoiner from the start. Just ask around amongst OG Bay Area Bitcoiners. Charlie Shrem has some anecdotes on his pod from back in the day.
People in LATAM are paying tons of attention to what's happening in El Salvador; this cannot be understated. #bitcoin is for The Americas. Goodbye petrodollar.
This is not a sustainable business model in its current form. Is this why I've heard people push friends and fam to River?
Not only is Argentina experiencing inflation north of 110%, but recent statistics show that overall economic activity in April fell 4% YoY.
Catastrophic doesn't even begin to describe the crisis the country is currently navigating thanks to broken money and corrupt government.
This whole US Government Debt Ceiling fiasco is peak-fiat. The US Government is so, so broken. At this point there's a strong case for those that believe it's irrevocable.
Over the course of the past 3.5 years that the current Argentinian administration has been in power, the national economy has lost an average of 12 business per day. Staggering.
We're out here in Mexico City orange-pilling street taco vendors, mi gente. Winning hearts and mind and spreading the message that Bitcoin is for literally everyone.
Financial inclusion is the way forward.
Bullish AF on LATAM.
If Milei gets elected in Argentina and enacts the currency competition, there will be no better value than buying in Argentina in the next 2 years.
The Argentinian peso just closed on the daily at 495:1 (USD). Last time I lived there it was hovering around 3.6:1
When money dies. This is why we separate the government from the money. This is why we Bitcoin.
There is increasing evidence in Argentina that the Argentinian Central Bank has run out of US T-bills, with the current administration going back to the well with the IMF in yet another predatory deal where the country's future is mortgaged for the sake of political gain for the powers that be (all the while the cantillionaires get their slice of the pie).
Regardless of political bent, one has to admit that the populist administrations over recent years have completely screwed the country's citizens and accountability is in order if the country is to embrace progress.
