We are currently architecting a crowdsourced database of docs (not a network) to find more docs that “get it” and aren’t taking handouts from the medical industrial complex to push pharma/procedures that harm.

What non-obvious criteria do you look for in docs that would help you decide if they were aligned?

We’ll start:

MDs Weight: Overweight/Average/Fit

Payment: Cash pay friendly/Accepts #btc or pushes insurance

Independent or owned by hospital/private equity

What else?

Last night we announced at Austin Bitcoin Club that we have integrated a Lightning wallet into the CrowdHealth app. Starting in early 2024 our Bitcoin Crowd will be able to pay their membership fees, fund each others health expenses, and pay their doctors through the Lightning network.

We need supply and demand. Therefore we are actively seeking medical practices that are interested in receiving Bitcoin as a payment method. We believe we can make it worth their while by driving highly sought after, non insurance, traffic to their practices.

As we build this database, and as our membership grows over time, we believe that even a small chunk of the $4.3T healthcare economy could serve as a beachhead for hyperbitcoinization in the US and a real alternative for doctors who want to break away from the tyranny of health insurance.

We started a new twitter account @crowdhealthbtc which will serve as the new home for our BTC crowd and where we’ll be updating you on our progress. We will have a new website available shortly.

For non bitcoiners, your CrowdHealth experience, structure, and awesomeness will not change.

I own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended.

Four ruffians break into my house.

"What the devil?" I exclaim as I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle.

Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and it nails the neighbor's dog.

I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads!" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and shrapnel set off car alarms.

Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He bleeds out in front of frantic paramedics since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up.

Just as the founding fathers intended.

Can't get enough of this setup.

When someone wears a bowtie in 2023 outside of a wedding I am not sure what to make of it.

Morning from Nostralia Jack. What is the name of the book on cyber warfare or future warfare you have been talking about on TSP? Is written by a US officer. I'd like to add it to my stack of books I'm reading.

Still using mask in crowded areas. People are like fire. Don't get too close like an Idiot.

The most abused drug in modern times, killing and harming the most people, is sugar.

Had to drive a bunch of 16 year olds someplace this week, had to listen to their conversation - there is now way genx was that dumb at 16 -- we are fucked
