Very interesting. I live in a red rural area. This past week I went to speak at our county republican party about digital privacy and BTC. It was super well received and I had several people tell me they were interested, but didn't know how to buy BTC.
I think many people are in that category. I do, however, find it sad that people only understand BTC while it's up. If only they believed while the price was low.
I've floated the concept of a BTC economy to the president of our local bank, but he kinda laughed it off. Then I talked to a bank board member about it separately, and I found it pretty interesting that he suggested I talk to the local guy that does payment Processing.
It took me a while to explain that BTC can/will replace that system.
Has anyone here played around with #fedimint ? It looks to me like a decent way of setting up a BTC economy, but I have A LOT to learn...
Aside from Fedimint, it seems like orange pilling people and showing them how to set up simply self custody is the key.
#asknostr Was anyone else affected by the #blockfi data leak? I had their BTC rewards CC for a while until they imploded. Let me say, it was sweet before it went under.
Yesterday I got an email from Blockfi saying don't be surprised if your phone is blowing up :/
I'm getting about a dozen spam calls a day and I've been added to multiple Whatsapp groups I didn't join.
Does anyone have recommendations other than changing my phone number???
Another good one to share is wtfhappenedin1971.com

Lol... "when someone tells you about dogecoin, tell them to go F' themselves!!!"
This book opened my eyes to Austrian Economics in 2006. G Edward Griffin did a lot to make the public aware of the collectivist debt fetters. Of books that primed me for understanding BTC was necessary, this is it.

"Unify all bitcoiners!" Nice podcast nostr:npub1f5pre6wl6ad87vr4hr5wppqq30sh58m4p33mthnjreh03qadcajs7gwt3z
Thanks for saying what must be said.
Ive had really good luck with worm casting teas. Add a little bat guano and molasses, mix, then aerate it for 24 hrs. Apply it like you would water and you don't even need to pH it. I became an organic gardener out of laziness lol.
From where I'm standing, you couldn't do it any better. Organic soil, rabbit garden, natural light, full coverage of trichomes... it is artful cultivation.
Did you do any compost teas this year?

Looking good nostr:npub1f5pre6wl6ad87vr4hr5wppqq30sh58m4p33mthnjreh03qadcajs7gwt3z - I had to pull a few of mine early due to PM, but I got it all pulled in time without much damage. I decided to keep it easy this year and ran autoflowers. It worked out surprisingly well in super soil.
I had good luck drying this year getting it down to 0.6 water activity, and I'd say it's some of the best smoke I've had in long time. Now the craze in my circle is "Andrew's Homegrown" :)
I hope I get the chance to make it to one of your events!!
Clearing out the homestead has been a huge undertaking... I started clearing by hand with an echo chainsaw, then got an old #stihlchainsaw, then finally got a Stihl 660 clone - #holzforma #chinasaw. After sharpening many chains and spending days with a sore back, I found out you can actually hire an excavation team to come out and buy years of your life back lol.
I came back from delivering beans to see they got started early...

I can't take credit for the harvesting - I'm just driving the beans, but this is what my good buddy Frank is using.
