You don't trust the banks?

Be like me, i don't have a cards, i don't have a bank acc.

I experienced the total fail of the financial system with the gov collapse more than 20 years ago.

Banks never lose and they are inevitable.

That's why I don't have something so normal in the actual society.

I only have a prepaid card with 0 money, i use it only when I want to buy something online or cryptos

wait it doesn't come like that?

If you are worried about your #Bitcoin exposure, you should increase your knowledge, not decrease your exposure.

I love #[0]​, I felt she was our hidden gem, now I see and hear her everywhere 😂

She’s great tho, probably the best macro economist of the last few years.

Given the current macro situation, I'm worried about the fiat in my current account but I'm not worried one bit about the bitcoin in my cold storage

CBDC’s are basically food stamps. Let’s say people actually go for this shit, which I can’t see given how ineffective governments are, and no one seems to take in to account the difficulty of public adoption of such a thing - how would international trade be settled? Producers aren’t going to accept a restrictive government shitcoin for actual goods… So governments operate on a bitcoin standard while the people trade in shitcoin food stamps? Is that the idea?

Ben looking 👀 for the bounty site! Thank you!

Ohhh no... No, no, no.. My company's finances are all linked to SVB...

I'll be right back...

IMO zapping will never go away. It’s a way to show your support to the OG poster and how much value you receive from he/she.

But I agree on the market side, it’s an empowering tool

So, do you think Universal Basic Income is more likely advocated for because of deflationary tech improvements?

Watching the new 3D printer for about 2 hours now. Send help…

I think the US Government is opening up the path for a Bitcoin standard through the terrible economic policy we have been accustomed to in with fractional reserve banking. However, it is most likely going to be a very bumpy road. Expect to see the US, and the rest of the G7 countries, fight this tooth and nail. They don’t want to give up the fiat ponzi that they’ve gotten rich off of. We’ve already seen this with Operation Chokepoint 2.0.

We will see major regulation against #Bitcoin and attempts to eradicate Bitcoin (although they are futile attempts). Senator Warren and other will lead the charge.

What I wonder is how does it all shake out eventually? Progressives and other establishment Republicans will most likely fight a Bitcoin standard all the way. A few bold senators and congressman will lead the charge toward a Bitcoin standard, but they will be seen as conspiracy theorists and crypto opportunists.

I do think that we do get to a Bitcoin standard, but the options are fuzzy to how we get there. Is there a divide in the country where the only two options is statism (socialism and CBDC) or libertarianism (Bitcoin standard)? Or do we stay together as a country and eventually move to a Bitcoin standard as one unified country? Universal basic income seems like a real plausible option to the progressives even though history has seen the failed socialist experiment again and again.

What are the options I’m missing? I’d be curious to hear the other possibilities the other plebs in the #nostr universe are thinking.

Days of asking for zaps without a purpose are gone. Asking for zaps just because you want without any clear objective gets bad looks (not everyone but mostly I believe).

We are entering into the era of community growth and maturation. The tourists are mostly gone and the ones who are active here are the ones growing their influence on newcomers. Be an example for them, provide value to others are get rid of the zap-begging mentality.

#[0]​ and I are craving coffee! Where are we going and what are we having, who is coming with us!?!?!? lol
