Autopoietic. Scratching things from chaos. Homesteading the noösphere. Opportunity farmer: Reading things that are not yet on the page. Haskell. Dollars only, thanks.

I think we should move on.

The moon landing was an achievement for its time but it pales in comparison to smart phones and what else we have today.

There is a reason smart phones happened 50 years later. The cumulative knowledge of another 50 years of humanity was needed to make them happen.

They were also a much more significant milestone in overall human development. I'd be fine living in a world where we never landed on the moon, I don't want to live without today's communication technology again, ever.

¢1000 is fiat money? They convert your Bitcoin to fiat with every purchase for your convenience, but the food is priced in fiat? As such the price in Bitcoin would be fluctuating wildly?

If I wanted to hold Bitcoin prices would have to be somewhat stable otherwise I can't plan ahead financially.

Stupid also that this "jungle" doesn't really have much of an economy (in any currency) and jobs but I guess that could sort itself out if you had a viable scheme there. Every city in the world started from nothing.

In my 28 year professional career so far I've had 17 commercial and 5 non-commercial jobs in 10 cities in 5 countries. If there is such a forest it's hiding well.

Here's how I compare. With Bitcoin I'm hungry, with dollars I eat.

Ah it's the People's Front of Judea vs. the Judean People's Front.

I also think nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a that that few trillion is mostly just people swapping bitcoin for fiat or other cryptos. How much of that is using actual bitcoin to buy actual goods and services

This.

Let's see what I can buy for sats first before I accept them.

Of course in the special case of nostr zaps, not accepting them is also a special badge of honor that makes me a member of an exclusive secretive club.

What's this Twitter thing that people keep mentioning.

Bitcoin. Your text says Bitcoin "just works". I still don't see even a coffee anywhere priced in Bitcoin.
