See Prof. Pape's "Dying To Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism"

Not that there was any logic or strategy behind this crime, but the book goes a long way to explaining the political and practical imperatives that make it a valourised act in some social circles.

Soldiers going to war now called "sucide terrorists".

You said "Most NPCs can't imagine investing $1000 in an investment". They can just fine. Just not *your* investment.

"There is no reason for death, according to the traditional methods of ancient people побыстрей устранить чтоб лишнего не ля-ля.

Get out of the way to the old school. If you don't overbuild, you don't have to worry about the steel."

Funny how Google translate doesn't translate part of your message. Is it in some ancient Assyrian script?

Side note: you may notice that *everything* on nostr:npub1sweetl0gskmka0n5qevt7v2wj9q56ntwkmaeywffw4ftaucmcakquhns6h is *always* on sale!? That’s because the original prices listed are the price (in sats) at which the respective items were originally sold when launched.

For honey, that was first listed on February 1, 2024 when the site launched. Prices in sats have consistently deflated since that time and so honey has very steadily dropped in price over the last 10 months for anyone using #Bitcoin as their unit of account.

You wouldn't have other things for sale? Everyday food, clothing, household stuff?

Interesting! Can you meet your obligations to your suppliers what with falling prices? Will you make enough money in the next 12 months to pay your bills?

Ok I'd still like to see some Bitcoin prices so that there is a number like N loaves of bread per day.

My monthly net income is about 1000 Big Macs right now.

Last week I heard about a guy down the road from me who sells fresh chicken for Bitcoin. I've bought his chicken before and it's great - but that was before he took BTC as payment. I've been meaning to see what his prices as like. If I make it over to him this weekend I'll let you know. (also bought some excellent blueberry preserves from nostr:nprofile1qqsg8vu4lh5gtdmwhe6qvk9lx98fzs2df4htd7uj8y5h25477vduwmqpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcq3xamnwvaz7tm0venxx6rpd9hzuur4vghszyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmnyarquzg recently: 10k sats)

Spoiler alert though: my guess is the chicken guy just takes the USD price that everyone else sees and converts it in the moment to BTC. You could do the same to "find a Bitcoin price" for the things you mentioned, you know? **For now** that's going to be the common method.

The interesting bit when you do that is everyone's prices keep going down over the long run.

Does your 1m SATs/day income cover your expenses for a day? Now and in the future let's say for a year to come? How can you plan ahead with prices changing all the time?

How is everyone's prices going down a good thing, how much will yours go down?
