You can lead a horse to water, can't make it drink. Show a person some bitcoin can't make them think. Bitcoin devotee, not just on Sundays!

He just can't see the world in a different way. For him the world is going OK and he is successful and able to play the current game well. He knows the rules etc. But he doesn't see a different world.

He sees the world improving in general (and for a big part he is right according to some metrics -ie child poverty and hunger) but then totally wrong in other areas like wealth distribution.

Or bury their heads in the sand

As I know yes

Two totally different sides of the same coin. All about value transfer and providing value. I had a guy once ask me for sats cos he bought high and the price dropped. Wanted compensation from rhe community. 😀😀😀

Another guy gambled at a casino, lost and asked for sats!!!

Bitcoin is about providing value

Hard truth these days. We want it that way tho. Means progress. The alternative would suck for humanity. 😀

Guys. Sorry for posting this. But please consider removing everyone from the note before replying. Only semisol and the zappr bot need to be on it if you have a problem/want to say thanks. It states it on the original note from zap bot.

On many clients you can remove people by pressing the 'x' on their name (amethyst). Notification feeds are full of these messages that at least to me don't offer value.

#[32] as a suggestion could we limit the bot to say 5 people tagged at a time. maybe that will help with spam. Seems senseless that we are trying to reduce spam and more is being created. Thanks and apologies again for posting to all. I won't be doing it again.

Ah great. Thank you for yourr support. DM me if you wish as I'll check about postage

Yes. Couple of things tho

1) the idea is to minimise bots/spam as I see. Bots will reduce likely if there is a payment required.

2) a billionarie coming in probably means there is something important to vote on I guess. I don't know if there will be super important things to vote on.

On fiat, that mentality of billionaires voting to sway is somewhat sustainable. Cos the money isn't hard. Take it from the printer (if you happen to be a lucky business or person close to the printer) and then vote if you choose. You could do this on a semi sustainable basis if you cared enough.

On bitcoin its based around value transfer and limited supply. So its not sustainable unless you have a means of earning bitcoin unfairly which is unlikely to exist.

Take war as an example. Imagine in countryA that you couldn't print money. To go to war with countryB, countryA would have to 'crowdfund' the money. The war would also have to be worthwhile (ie you either get more money than you spend or really really against your values that your prepared to spend valuable money).

That's the scenario bitcoin forces.

Charge some sats to vote

Hey Lyn. But fedwire is only US isn't it? Would be interested to know what global settlements might look like in terms of transactions per second and amounts. Prob not too easy to compile that data tho I'm guessing.

Appreciate you!! Take it easy
