This week has just flown by, I’ve been overloaded at the fiat mine and have not kept up with world events. Is there anything hugely important I need to know?

Winter is on its way here but we have sunny days even in the cold. The sunsets are more beautiful in winter.

Here is one from last winter … the colours are so lovely

I am hopeful that you’ve all had a wonderful week and have loads done, stacked all the sats and overthrown the evil overlords while I’ve been messing about with photos 🤣🤣

“Macquarie Bank ditches cash at all branches and goes

'completely digital'”

👇🏻

The image below depicts content customers whose lives have become significantly more convenient. Convenience is the key focus here.

However, many customers are unaware that physical cash operates as a bearer asset, where they directly control the keys to your money. In contrast, digital tokens in banks are managed by third parties. When cash becomes digital fiat money, it transforms into an IOU (I owe you), with the bank owing the customer.

By the way, Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) change the game. Instead of dealing with banks, customers' counterparties become central banks, overseen by trustworthy central planning commissars. In a nanny state with centralized planning, programmable money allows the government to better care for its citizens. For instance:

1. During lockdowns, #CBDCs ensure that your spending is restricted to your designated area. You won't be able to spend it elsewhere.

2. If you've consumed too much meat this month, CBDCs can help you reduce meat consumption for the remainder of the month. By the way, did you know that bugs and insects are healthier than you might think?

3. Holiday flights might also be impacted. Families can be limited to a maximum of two flights per year. CBDCs won't allow booking a third flight. Sorry.

In a cashless society, #Bitcoin may be the last remaining form of digital cash where individuals hold the keys to their money.

Where do you use it for?

I use Inkscape as well! It's a great tool!

Hmm, i still don't understand, did something just happen?

During our testing period, 1 sat equals 1 stamp. So if you send 50 messages every day, you need 50 sats. Currently, one cent can buy about 16 sats, so you spend 3 cents a day, which is 90 cents a month. Is that expensive?

Pay with privacy or pay with ecash

I'd put all my fiat in #Bitcoin if there were offline shops that accept it...

Bitcoiners slamming signal while championing and using telegram was not on my bingo card for 2024.

Telegram is not private by default.

Can anyone explain why bitcoiners love telegram so much? Your privacy for the sake of convenience.

What are the tools you work with?

What percentage of the anon trolls out there trolling women are other women acting like men?

I bet it's more than 50%

Stop it. Their brains are not fully developed man. There is a clear difference and you should see that.

I mean, I think it’s worth a try.
